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 Beautification 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 />17 <br />P67 <br />
