Creek which runs adjacent to the site and crosses the site. During flood stage it is not uncommon for water to overflow the <br /> banks and inundate the site. The banks in fact are higher than a significant portion of the site. To protect the site from <br /> higher creek flows that are not overtopping the drainage system goes to a manhole and the storm drain is fitted with a check <br /> valve to prevent water from backing into the site. The system has been tested and functioned well in significant storms. <br /> Being a transportation hub, the site has to accommodate pedestrians, vehicles and busses. As many as five busses can <br /> be staged at the station. <br /> Project Completed in 1995 <br /> Santa Paula Railroad Station,City of Santa Paula, CA <br /> Award Winning Project—Santa Paula Chamber of Commerce Civic Beautirication of the Year <br /> - Mr. Flavell served as principal in charge and project manager and engineer of record for site improvements. Santa Paula <br /> is a unique small community in that it has an airport and its own railroad line. The railroad station was built in the 1930s <br /> and is a historic landmark. The site was generally undeveloped, except for some warehouses and packing plants nearby. <br /> Its location near the heart of town made this site a candidate for restoration. This project required designing the station <br /> platform in accordance with railroad standards. The project included a gazebo and park. The architect selected brick for <br /> the accent pavement areas, which included sidewalks adjacent to the street. A key element of the design of this project <br /> was design of ADA compliance and addressing the grade difference across the site. We developed a unique mountable <br /> curb to provide access to the original loading ramp and accommodate the sidewalk requirements. <br /> Project Completed in 2008 <br /> i <br /> 17 <br />
