meeting. A consensus was reached between the residents and staff on what areas to
improve. The following is a list of the streets planned for improvement under this project:
• Walnut Street and Chestnut Street from 15th Street to 16th Street
• . 16th Street from Newhall Avenue to east of Walnut Street
• 14th Street from Newhall Avenue to San Fernando Road
• 11th Street and 12th Street from Walnut Street to San Fernando Road
Following the identification of the project limits, staff prepared a Request for Proposals
(RFP) to select an engineering design consultant. The RFPs were sent to firms on the
City's Design Consultants List. Fourteen firms responded by submitting proposals (see
