Summary <br />Develop conceptual drawings for streetscape improvements along the subject section of East 14th Street. Proposed <br />improvements include median enhancements, widening sidewalks with bulb-outs, enhancing crosswalks and <br />installing street trees. <br />Description <br />The project involves the completion of conceptual plans and 30% construction drawings for pedestrian street <br />improvements along the section of East 14th Street extending from 136th Avenue to the southern City Limit in <br />accordance with the East 14th Street South Area Development Strategy dated April 2004. This project will have a <br />series of public meetings as necessary to develop a project scope. Pedestrian improvements may consist of the <br />following; widening sidewalks with bulb-outs, enhancing crosswalks and upgrading sidewalk ramps to current <br />standards, infilling with new street trees and tree grates as needed, installing pedestrian oriented street lights, <br />adding street furniture, creating place-making elements, and installing enhanced bus stops and shelters. The <br />purpose of this CIP project is to define a viable project and develop accurate cost estimates. This information will be <br />used for future CIP project requests and grant funding as appropriate. <br />Justification or Benefit of Project <br />This project will create a more pedestrian-friendly environment on E. 14th Street. The planned improvements will <br />increase the safety of pedestrians and encourage walking and biking, which are healthy transportation choices. <br />Businesses will also benefit from the enhanced environment and private investment is likely to increase. This project <br />is a priority one pedestrian project in the 2010 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. <br />Consequences of not doing the Project <br />Safety will not be improved. The area along E. 14th Street could potentially decline, including increased vacancy and <br />blight. Less private investment will be drawn to the area. <br />Project Numb 2012.0120Project Typ Roadway streetscape <br />Detailed Cost $410,000 Status Active <br />Department/Sponsor Community Development <br />Impact to Operation Cost Impact to Maintenance Cost Increase <br />Likely Cost <br />Categor Bicycle and Pedestrian <br />Project Name E14th Pedestrian Imp 136th-S City Limit <br />122
