Topography High-resolution aerial photography obtained using NearmapTM was used in conjunction with field observations and measurements taken on December 20, 2016 to prepare a scale base plan of the topography in the study area along Ventura Boulevard using AutoCAD drafting software. Base Plan Figure 3.3 shows existing curb, lane striping and pavement markings, trees, driveways, parking spaces, driveways, and approximate fire hydrant locations. The high-resolution aerial used in preparation was taken September 16, 2016. The information collected by this effort served as the base from which all subsequent conceptual designs were based.
