Council President Dingier recommended postponing this item until the August 8, 2013 Council meeting when all members should be present. Several Council ' Members objected to removing the item from the agenda and would like to discuss it tonight. There is no guarantee that all council members will be present at the August meeting. City of c,W,d Point cdy Ca;,va1 N1u;ufes jrure 27. 2013 Reye 4 Community Development Director Tom Humphrey stated that the city hired ' transportation consultants to evaluate ways to make Central Point's Downtown more safe and attractive while preserving Pine Street's transportation function. Streetscape Design Alternatives allowed decision makers to visualize what the changes could look like without actually making the improvements. An estimate of the cost associated with the improvements was also provided for the discussion. The intention has been to use the outcome of this analysis to provide direction for the City's Urban Renewal efforts. Street improvements will be a component of a larger plan that is tied to economic revitalization involving public investment in infrastructure, private investment in property, the right combination of businesses, more effective market, etc. The plan recommends 4 lanes and wider sidewalks in order to meet minimum conditions for a Main Street design which is a combination of safety features and amenities. Parking will be eliminated along the business district only where a bus stop would be located. a Second Street Plaza, and dedicated turn lanes on side streets. Bulb outs are recommended at 3rd Street, 5" Street, and 6" Street to improve pedestrian visibility and crossing. Ornamental street lights are recommended to match those already in place between Front Street and 1s' Street. Mr. Clayton stated that even if the resolution is approved tonight there will be ' plenty of opportunity for Council and public input at the design phase. There will be a shared bike/car lane in each direction. Mr. Dingier stated that he would like the resolution to be voted on in August.

Second Street Parks and Public Works Director Matt Samitore explained that in May the City Council asked the Municipal Court to dismiss the derelict property issue associated with 332 N. Second Street as the property was listed with a realtor and a qualifying offer to purchase the property was accepted. The intent of the ' buyer at that time was to demolish the house and rebuild. That buyer has backed out of the purchase but there is another offer on the table. The potential buyer would like to refurbish the house and not demolish. Staff was concerned that the Gly e(Ce,llrul Painf Gty C.",li Mtreutex Jurze 27, 2013 Pagz 5 ' Council intent was to have the house demolished and this offer would be in violation of the dismissed derelict structure resolution. Patricia Curtin. John L Scott Realtor Ms. Curtin is representing the buyer. They would like to work with the city on the property clean up. They plan to start with the outside of the building to improve the property. The first improvements would be to paint and make the property acceptable. They do intend to work with the building department on permits. She will also recommend that the City Building Inspector be allowed to do an initial inspection and report back to the city. The Council was in agreement that refurbishing the house would be acceptable as long as there were improvements are done in a timely manner. Council directed staff to have the Building Official do a full inspection and provide a report to the Council at the July 25, 2013 meeting. At that time the Council will decide if the derelict structure process should start over in order to encourage the new owners to fix the property. IX. MAYOR'S REPORT— No Mayor's Report X.

The I last Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan (Plan) is an opportunity to identin solutions for recognized problems with the current configuration and conditions of Pine Street, and to address aspiration for ret italvation of the downtown area. The following challenges were kec to initiating the project, and confirmed be technical analcsis and communitc input. Vehicular Safety. Traffic often moves ata fast rate and motorists change lanes frequentic to avoid vehicles malting left-hand turns. Intersections along this corridor have the highest crash rates in the Cin.. Pedestrian Safety. Pedestrian crossing on Pine Street can be difficult and dependent upon drivers observing pedestrians and stopping to allow them to cross. This is a critical safcn issue for Crater I Iigh School and Central Point I;lementarc School students crossing the street. Bicycle Safety. There are limited bia'cle facilities on Pine Street even though it is a designated bicccle route Ccclists must ride in the flow of automobile traffic resulting in greater risk of bicccle-vehicle collisions. Sidewalks and Storefront Activity. I xisting sidewalks are narrow, which limits the abilinto implement a streetscape design that will make the downtown area more attractive. COmmunln' visioning and cite policies are supportive of a revitalized downtown with Pine Street as an attractive setting for walking and shoppingAt the police level, the Cen/rel Pot/ Doran/omn Rrr8elt.!71ton Plea, 2000 and Ce/re' Pot/ I onrerd. I iw Ct/p [ 'rton 2020 set forth goals for downtown revitalization and recommend strategies for meeting those goals. The goals share a common vision of downtown as the heart of the communitc, with a dncrsitc of business and economic activinc and Pine Street as a comfortable environment for pedestrians. Traditionallc, Main Street is the most important street in town. It is a good address for businesses, and creates an identin for the communitc. It tells residents and visitors alike something about the place, its people, and its historc. V hen communities encwhere set forth a N ision for downtown ret itali/ation, thec neark alwacs articulate a desire for a good 'Main Street. Bc design, a'Main Street becomes more than a means to get to places - it becomes a place. It is actuallc a balance between two kinds of places. One is a place to walk around and look. It becomes a social space, as well as a business space. The other is a place to drive to and park. AA hen a Main Street effecticele- strikes that balance, it will become the heart of the communitc and a center of commerce. A Main Street has short blocks, and is usualk three to hce blocks long. Buildings are close to the sidewalk and one another. There is a carietc of businesses and, ideallc, a few places to lice Traffic speeds are reduced and the street is ease- to cross for people of all ages and abilities. The sidewalks are broad enough for two people to comfortable walk side be- side .Attention has been given to storefronts, window displae-s, and the streetscape design (Figure 1). Pine Street today East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan Figure I: Main Street Zones The underlying goal of Main Street design is a street for even -one (Figure 1). This approach recognizes the need for safe and efhcient operation of vehicles, while striving to balance transportation choices and improve mobility for everyone. The distinguishing characteristics of 'Main Street are in the Sidewalk and amenity zones, the ease of pedestrian movement, and diversity of businesses and storefronts along the street Vehicle operations and safety are also important. The roadway area between the sidewalks includes on -street parking, travel lanes, turn lanes, and qualities of building fronts along the street. Together the Sidewalk and amenitc zones provide access to businesses and support communin interaction in comfortable social spaces along the street. Sidewalk Zone. Sidewalla serve multiple functions. It is important thec be designed to support the activities and features expected of Alain Street At a minunum, thec need to provide continuous and unobstructed walking space of at least 5 -feet in intersections, and sometunes media as and pedestrian yvidth to meet contem lxtra rc ADA requirements. refuges. I lowever, for a downtown or a central business district, where there are greater expectations for storefront and pedestrian activities, a minunum width of 10 to 13 -feet is preferred. These zones are typically designed as a single element, and are the prunary aspens of an attractive pedestrian environment. Pedestrian comfort is strongly related to the width of the sidewalk, buffering from traffic provided be an amenitc zone, 2 East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan Amenity Zone. The amenity zone should complement the sidewalk zone. ,-A minimum width of 4-1eetis needed to accommodate street tumishings %yithout encroachment into the sidewalk zone. ,An ameiunv zone also provides space for passenger loading and unloading from on -street parking. If there is a bus stop, a 5 -foot by 8 -toot clear loading area must be provided to meet ADA standards. Street Furnishings. Street tumishings located in the amenity zone pla\ an important role in creating a positive pedestrian environment and downtown identity A comprehensive plan should be developed basal on a fail\ simple palette of benches, bike racks, kiosks, lighting, etc Furnishings should never obstruct the minimum clear zone for the sidesvallk. Itis also bestif the location of street trees and light poles are coordinatul Nvith the madkcd spaces for on -street parking to avoid conflicts Nvith opening of doors. Street Trees. Street trees are also an important element of an attractive streetscape. A growing body of research indicates a clear relationslup between the presence of street trees and favorable perceptions of a downtown or central business district, as well as more favorable descriptions of the shopping experience. Trees need adequate room to thrive and a plan for maintenance. If an amenity zone has a width of less than 4-1egit, trees should not be considered. On -street parting is critical to a successful downtown. It is as much a part of the place as walling. The parting zone also provides a buffer between pcdcstrian movement and social interactions of the sidewalk and moving yelucles in the roadway. If \chicle speeds are reliably less than 30 mph, the width of the parting zone can be as littleas 7 -feet Ilowever, maintaining an £Ltootwidth is usually a safer design, especially if bicyclists are expcctcd to share the adjacent travel lane. Intersection design is complex, and is often completed on a case -b\ -case basis. A number of factors need to be considered such as: traffic speeds, pedestrian visibility and crossing distances, ccpectations regarding bicycle use, and expectations about vehicle operations including large vehicles. For pedestrians, how the\ are accommodated atinterscc ions is as important as the sidewalk and amenity zone. Physical design measures that support comfortable pedestrian moven ent include shorts ag the crossing distance with curb bull, outs, reducing the curb radii, enhanced pavunent markings to delineated crosswalks, and increased intersection illumination. None of the streetscape altematives include a dedicated bike lane on Pine Street Instead, each altemadve recommends the use of shared lanes (sharrows) with appropriate markings in the outside lane. Pavement markings let motorists know to expect cyclists on the street and runind cyclists not to ride too close to parted cars whose doors mac unccpectedk open. VA'hile shairow pavement markings area nationally recogiuzed form of traffic control for public streets and are described in the Oregon Driver Manual, their use mac be new to Central Point If ears experience suggests motorists and bicyclists are not understanding the message being communicated by these symbols, itis recommended that an ulucation campaign be unplm cd. In addition to sparrows, bike routes are reeommendcd on Oak and blanzanita Streets Coe cyclist traveling east -west through downtown. These are low-volume streets and could be designed for efficient bike travel by reassigning stop signs to the north -south streets. No removal of a travel lane or on -street parking would be required East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan 3 The streets cape design altemalives illustrated on the following pages ccplore options to make Pine Streeta street for even'one; balancing the needs of traffic capacitc and operations, and the needs of bic'clisis and pedestrians. Recommended design elements are also intended to satisfc the statin local aspirations for a more attractive streetscape through incorporation of amenities such as street trees, ornamental lighting, and street fumiture. The alternatives also reflect challenges previoush notal, and the technical anahsis confirms it is operationalh feasible to reconfigure a portion of Pine Street from four lanes to three lanes. Careful attention has been given to the need for safe travel for all modes, and to accommodate eneigennvehicles and oversized veludes such as buses and frcight On -street parking is retained in each alternative and several measures are proposed to improve vclude safetc and operations. Alternative A - hit Street through 6th Street. Retains the current fourlane configuration and travel lane Nvidths, with sidesNalks renaming at current midths. Alternative B - hit Street through 6th Street. Retains a fourlane configuration but with a one - foot reduction in lane widths, Nvluch allows for the construction of slighdl raider sidewalks. Alternative C - hit Street through 6th Street. Assumes the reconfiguration of Pine Streetas a three -lane roadsvap in this segment, with one travel lane in each direction and a continuous center tum lane. This would allow for a significant widening of the sidesNalla. 7th Street through 10th Street Improvements. For each altemativc, sidesNalk improvenents could occur in this sgpncntbc obtaining up to mo-fcctof additional right-of-svac- or easements from the front card setbacks of existing properfles. In ,-Altematice C, the Sth Street to 7th Street block would be used as the transition from four to three lanes. 4 East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan Streets for Everyone Driving and parking Riding o bike Walking around and sitting down Y S 1 w � n s<rKc : � ♦ r � d u n ao y.,,Yp .. `s..�.<<� n 5th Street i r s.,ec {r 5{ •te c Y fl�-e 4 �� 5 k� A� < j � �� •, oa {' N f .- 9' Y YL-; d„<� •Ids: �f�^] �1 � � T� = W i Ili f 'L ,O ¢ m v 0. 1 �I3 ds eec , <- � �s j �,• j j j Z3 Z3 2.d Spee iv iL to v'7 x I Sfree< ;� 4 f s .)' ` Front Street Enhanced Pedestrian Bike Routes on Oak St. & 2nd St. Improvements Crossing at 6th St. Manzanita St. (Page 24) Enhanced Crosswalks • Mid -block Bulb -out • Enhanced Bus Bulb -out with Special Paving (Alternative A only) (Page 17) & New Bulb -outs at Intersections — Transition from 3 to 4 Lanes (Alternative C only) East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan 5 Roadway and Intersections Pout travel lanes would be maintained at their existing widths (12 -feet), with no reconstruction of the existing curb. lntersection bulb -outs are recommended at 3rd Street, ith Street and 6th Street to improve pedestrian visibility and crossing. Design Of the bnlbonts should conform to technical anah sis of Technical btunorandum 4 with respect to size and turning radii. lntersection bulb -outs are not recommended at 2nd and 4th Streets in order to accommodate truck and bus turning movunents even though pedestrian crossing counts are relative]v high at 2nd Street Speciallc paved crosswalks should be added at each interseUioa, using durable concrete materials rather than stamped Concrete or thermoplastic treatments. Sidewalk and Amenity Zones V idths of the sidewalk and amenity zones runains unchanged at approximately S-feettotal. This is a constrained condition that falls short of optimal Main Street design An amenity zone of 3-feetwill not support street trees. The 5-footwidththe of sidewall, meets ADA requirements butdoes not allow two people to wall, comfortably side-by-side. Sidewalks should be reconstructed to a consistent concrete finish, using an attractive scoring pattern throughout. The number of signs located in the sidewalk, should be reduced in order to reduce visual Butter. Existing sidewalks Street Trees and Furniture Small curb bulb -outs could be added mid -block to accommodate street trees and underston- landscape planting Given the constrained width of the sidewalks, these bulb -outs are the onlc opportunity to introduce trees as a streetscape element (see page 9). Street furniture such as bike racks, benches, and vending machines will be difficult to locate in the constrained amenity lone, with the possible acception of includinga small bike tackat intersection bull -outs. Street Lighting All Ccisling street lights should be replaced by ornamental street lights to match those already in place between Front Street and 1st Street Use two poles per comer at cath intersection, and one pole on each side of the street at mid -block locations. Parking Zone One space per block face would be lost to construction of mid -block bulb -outs, and one space would be lost to the enhanced bus stop at 6th street, for a total loss of 11 parking spaces on Pine Street. Street comer curb bulb -outs at intersections will not reduce on -street parking.

East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan 9 Existing sidewalk conditions This illustrates ccisung constrained conditions along most of Pine Street. Street trees, landscaping, and street furniture cannot tie accommodated.

Buildings along tlus section are setback, making it possible to vides sidewalks through additional right -of -war dedication. For these segments, no reduction in the width of roadwac- lanes, or in the number lanes is assumed inane altemathc. Hxisting sidewalks could tie widened to 10 -feet to 12-feetin width by acquiring additional right -of wav or casements from property owners with front vard setbacks bemveen buildings and the current sidewalks. Ar'ith wider sidewalks, street trees could be introduced into the streetscape. Improvements could cxcur with property redevelopment or as a series of smaller capital projects carded out by the CimJ.

As with .Utemative d, intersection bulb - outs are recommended at 3rd Street, 5th Street, and 6th Street to improve pedestrian visibility and crossing and should conform to the analysis of turning movunents from Technical Nhunorandum 4. No mid -block bulb -outs are included with this alternative since street trees can be accommodated in the wider sidewalks. lntersection bulb -outs are not recommended at 2nd Streetand 4th Street in order to accommodate truck: and bus turning movunents. Specialhpaved crosswalks should be added at each intersection, using durable concrete materials rather than stamped concrete or thermoplastic treatments. Sidewalk and Amenity Zones Sidewalk and amenia 'one midths would be incrcased to 10-1eet toal as a result of reconstructing the curbs.

At one communitc s%odahop therewas a strong consensus that small plaza alone; Pine Street, adjacent to Rat's Good Place, would be a Nendesirable amenitc. Rat's deli is bust during the lunch hour so a place for outdoor diving and a focal gathering point seemed plausible The Plaza was designul into the public right-of-Nvac to minimize the loss of on -street parking, and to retain all oI the grocen' store's parking.

The direct relationship between urban design, Such IS streetscape enhancement projects, and economic eCLIN 10 is complex, and it can bC difficult to isolate physical design changes as a stand-alone economic factor. I lowevCS when streetscape enhancement is part of larger strategy that couples design with promotion, organisation and economic structuring the positive outcomes are far more apparent The best of StrategieS will, of course, struggle during periods of economic downturn as have been felt over the past few}'cars. Nevertheless, gooxi commw>;ty planning Should be ready to take advantage of an upturn in financial and economic conditions. I-nd Crsundabk, yuestionS about the economic return fir om'Main Street incestin ents and stratcgieS are often raised. The citizens and bnSin CSS commmvt of Central Point are no exception, and that CILICS6011 has been raised. The Plan will address that CILICS6011 more fullv- be- providing an opportunite- for a communite- dialggue baSed on understanding the comparable experiences of other communities, and seeing rcalistic expectations for Central Point. l Iosvever, a fcSv things are Nvorth noting as part of a discussion of these streetscape alternatives. Main Streets have 1lwac-S been about commerce. Thev- Should provide one of the best bnSinCSS addresses in town. A recent University of Ar'aslungton rescarch project used visual preferences and on -Site Sinn cys of shoppers to assess the influence of attracti,e streetscapes, especially streetscapes with a strong element of trees, , four factors caidcaI to bnSlrrCSS growth in downtowns and central bnSinCSS districts. The rescarch included smaller commwvtiCS with populadonS of 10,000 to 20,000. That Swde, along with muhiplC other StudieS, concluded that streetscape qualitiCS do affect the favorable perception of those factors. Visual Quality.

These expectations begin before consumers enter a Shop and tcnds to influence thcir assessment of the experience while inside the Store, including the product veluC. Shopper Patronage. Several patronage variables increase when associated with attractive streetscapes. Shoppers are willing to come Irom a grcater distance and to slaw longer once there. Thew are also more likek to tie return shoppers. From a Pine Street perspective, this can tie part of incrcasing the customer base and attracting a certain amount of regional attention it the right mix of bnSinCSSCS are in place. Product Pricing.

Research also suggests downtown revitalization can help ci ate new economic activit} across a lager part of the community. This often also correlates to new jobs and new housing opporwnities. The Main Street Approach VLamcommunities across the counts have adopted a blain Street program of some kind. In Oregon, ?G communities participate in the Oregon blain Street Program. This approach is generallc locusul on four factors considered critical to success. Organization. Hstablish consensus and cooperation through partnerships among stakeholders in the downtown or central business district if even'one is moving toward the same goal, a wide number of perspectives, reflecunga broad cross- secuon of the communitc, can be accommodated. Good oganization divides the workload and cieadc delis ates public sector and private sector responsibilities. Promotion. Promotion can take mane forms, but the goal should be to create a positive image for downtown. That positive image will help build consumer and investor confidence, communicate whatis unique, and help sell the promise of the downtown Central Point of the future. Design. Design matters in makinga blain Streetall it can be An enhancement project for Pine Street would certainly be a major piece of the needul design work, creating a phasant environnnent for shopping and for working while conveying a positive message about what Central Point has to offer. Design attention should also be paid to storefronts, window displacs, parking areas, and public spaces. Economic Restructuring. Rcuiningand supporting existing businesses is abs>lUt h niucal.

Urban Renewal. Downtowns plat in important role in a commwvt\'s economic development strategy- Thee- often account for as much as 30 percent of emplonnem, and 40 percent of the tax base The Cite- of Central Point has implunentul an Urban Renewal District to strengthen the economic and aesthetic vitalite- of the Downtown and I last Pine Street Corridor Area. Streetscape unprovemenn along Pine Streets is one of the identified projects for the district The shopping experience The display window Project descriptions and an opinion of probable costs have been provided for VItemativcs A through C as illustrated on the preceding pages. The opinion of costs is intended to guide funding strategies to implement a preferred alternative for I last Pine Street improvements, once a preference has been determined. The estimates of cost (see page 30) include probable construction costs of the Lev elements, a construction cost contingency, and estimates of mobilization and erosion control, construction surceq and temporary traffic control based on a tvpical percentage of construction costs. For ,-Altematices B and C, an allowance for uWinV adjustments within the right -of- xav has been made, as well as for meeting stormwater treaunent regwrunents lilccIv to be triggered by the reconstruction of impervious surfaces (e.g. roadwac and sldewalks). All costs are expressed as 2012 dollars. No costs hate been included for on-going operation and maintenance costs, nor hate soft costs for design and engineering been included. Alternative A - I st Street through 6th Street Retains the Existing 4 -Lane Cross -Section Although the existing sidewalks would be reconstructed throughout, this altematice requires no reconstruction of the existing curbs. Itassumes there would be no significant re -pavement of the roadway other than the specially paced crosswalks. The mid -block bulb -outs would be constructed with separate curbs, allowing stormwater to Now behind them through narrow gaps. The highest cost strcetscape elements would be the ornamental street lighting and the construction of mid -block bulb - outs with street trees and landscaping. Estimated Construction Budget in 2012 Dollars $1.6M - $1.7M Alternative B - Ist Street through 6th Street Modified 4 -Lane Cross -Section to Reduce Travel Lane Widths This altematice includes new sidcNvalks and curbs, along with new bulb -outs at three intersections. The curb line on each side of the street would be moved two -feet into the existing road surface.

Omamemal street lighting would include two mid -block omamemal street lights rather than a single mid -block light as in ,Alternatives ,-A and B. Consequenrc, the lighting cost is higher. Estimated Construction Budget in 2012 Dollars $2.9M - $3.OM East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan 29 7th Street through IOth Street Improvements top rovetnents in this segment consist of incrementally widening the existing sidewalk frontage through right-of-way acquisition or easetnents in the front yard setback of properties.

For informational purposes a probable lineal foot cost for frontage improvements has been included. 6th Street to 10th Street Sidewalk Improvements. These improvements would likely be constructed as opportunities arise along individual property frontages. They would be phased as complete and continuous capital improvements project. Alternative C. This alternative does not lend itself to phasing since it involves the reconfiguration of the roadway between 1 st Street and 7th Street from a 4 -lane cross-section to a plane cross-section. The transition block from Sth Street to 7th Street is also required at this time to maintain vehicle safest Estimated Construction Budget in 2012 Dollars Second Street Plaza. if Alternative A, with no $5,500 - $6,000 per 100 LF Potential Phasing The following approaches to phasing for the I last Pine Street improcetnents could be considered. Alternatives A and B. The improcetnents between 1st Street and Gth Street could be constructed in two separate phases. A Phase I project could be 1st Street through 4th Street, which corresponds to the current downtown core, with the greatest densis of business activio end continuous building frons along the. Most participants in the walling tour conducted as part of this project said their feeling of being "downtown' was strongest in these blocks. Since corner bulb -outs ere not recommended for the intersection of 4th Street, construction could be terminated at either the west or east side of the intersection without creating a dangerous misalignment of curbs. Phase 11 project would complete the improvements from 4th Street through the Gth Street intersection, malting sure the curb bulb -outs were constructed on both sides of the intersection in order to facilitate safe velticle and bike movements through the intersection. 30 East Pine Street Corridor Refinement Plan reconstruction of existing curbs, is the preferred alternative, this plaza could be implemented at any time as a separate project. It Nvould only require the removal of on -street parking spaces. The other alternatives require moving end reconstructing the existing curbs. The plaza project could not be completed prior to completion of the streetscape project. I losvecer, once the streets cape project Nvas completed, Nvith the new curbs in place, the plaza could be completed later as a separate project. Streetscope Enhancement Budgets The following estimates of construction costs ere based on the conceptual illustrations of streetscape enhancements in Alternatives Athrough C. They do not include the probable incremental costs for sidewalk improvements only betveen 7th Street end 10th Street (see previous page).
