Agenda • Welcome • Project Overview • Where We Have Been • Alternatives for State Street Land Use Street Design • Next Steps 2
Project Overview Create a Vibrant State Street 3
Project Purpose REVITALIZE State Street between 12 th and 25 th streets into a vibrant, attractive, walkable mixed-use corridor by recommending coordinated land use and transportation improvements. 4
Study Area STATE STREET 5
Project Goals 1. Promote economic vitality and livability 2. Improve multimodal access and safety 3. Encourage feasible improvements 6
Timeline Analyze Evaluate Existing and Identify Develop Options Future Options Recommendations Conditions (August 2016 – (Mar – July) (Feb – June 2017) Jan 2017) (Jan – Feb) Public Public Public State Street Survey Workshop Workshop Workshop 7
Public Workshop #1: What We Heard • Improve pedestrian safety • Slow traffic • Explore a road diet • Add bike lanes or routes – but not necessarily on State St. • Make State St. a destination – activate the street • Encourage a mix of uses, including housing • Manage parking 8
Where we are in the process Team created land use and street design alternatives for State Street Here today to get your feedback 9

State Street Alternatives Create a Vibrant State Street 11
Land Use Alternatives Create a Vibrant State Street 12
Two Mixed-Use Zones Higher Intensity Mixed Use Lower Intensity Mixed-Use (MU-1) (MU-2) • Mixed-use and multifamily • Multi-story mixed-use (retail on ground floor) housing • Commercial uses • Commercial uses • Taller buildings (4 stories) • Shorter buildings (3 stories) • High density • Medium density • Pedestrian-oriented design • Pedestrian-oriented design standards standards 13
Illustrated four ways: 1. West End Focus 2. West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition 3. West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition 4. Entire Corridor Nodal Focus 14
West End Focus Concentrated area of more intense mixed-use development on the west end • Single mixed-use zone • Highest intensity 25 TH St 12 TH St 17 TH St 15
West End Focus Lots of windows with no building setback 4-story building with apartments over retail on a corner site (MU-1) from sidewalk (MU-1) 16
West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition Two concentrated mixed-use centers on the west end with less intense development to the south Two mixed-use zones Mixed intensity in nodal pattern 25 TH St 12 TH St 17 TH St 17
West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition Flexible ground floor space (MU-2) Retail with canopy along entrance and sidewalk and outdoor seating (MU-1) 18 Stand-alone multiple dwelling residential building (MU-2)
West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition Three concentrated mixed-use centers on the west end, and a consistent level of lower-intensity development on the east end Two mixed-use zones Entire corridor 25 TH St 12 TH St 17 TH St 19
West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition Flexible ground floor space can house Vertical and horizontal separation of residential residential or office use (MU-2) unit with landscaping as soft buffer (MU-2) 20
Entire Corridor Nodal Focus Concentrated mixed-use area on the west end, and four concentrated centers to the east, interspersed with less intense development Two mixed-use zones Entire corridor 12 TH St 17 TH St 25 TH St 21
Entire Corridor Nodal Focus Urban residential building with high level of Retrofitted parking lot becomes outdoor dining area architectural detail (MU-1) with landscaped buffer along sidewalk (MU-1) 22
Tell us what you think… West End Focus West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition Entire Corridor Nodal Focus 23
#1: I prefer the mix of uses along State Street to be… 1. Higher intensity (MU-1) 2. Lower intensity (MU-2) 3. A mix of intensities (MU-1 and MU-2) 4. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% 0% Higher Lower A mix of I am not sure intensity intensity intensities (MU-1) (MU-2) (MU-1 and 24 MU-2)
#2: I prefer new development on State Street to be… 1. Focused on the west end 2. Throughout the entire corridor 3. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% Focused on the Throughout the I am not sure west end entire corridor 25
#3: If there is a mix of uses throughout the entire corridor, I prefer the intensity of development to be… 1. The same throughout the corridor 2. More intense on the west, less intense on the east 3. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% The same More intense on I am not sure throughout the the west, less corridor intense on the 26 east
#4: I prefer new development on State Street be… 1. Concentrated in nodes 2. Not concentrated in nodes 3. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% Concentrated in Not concentrated I am not sure nodes in nodes 27
#5: On the west end of State Street, I prefer the area south of State Street… 1. Be designated for higher intensity mixed use (MU-1) 2. Be designated for lower intensity mixed use (MU-2) 3. Not be designated for mixed use 4. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% 0% Be designated Be designated Not be I am not sure for higher for lower designated for intensity mixed intensity mixed mixed use 28 use (MU-1) use (MU-2)
Street Design Alternatives Create a Vibrant State Street 29
Three Alternatives with Options 1. Improved 4-Lanes ( option: additional signals) 2. Road Diet (option: bike lanes) 3. Hybrid Segment A Segment B Segment C 12 TH St 25 TH St 13 TH St 17 TH St 30
Improved Four-Lane A • Similar to existing roadway • Four travel lanes with no median B • Pedestrian enhancements • Bike routes designated on Chemeketa and Mill streets C • Option : Signals at 19th & 21st streets to provide protected crossings 31 A B C
Improved Four-Lane • Bike routes designated on Chemeketa and Mill streets – not State Street Chemeketa St 12 TH ST 25 TH ST 13 TH ST 17 TH ST New Bike/Ped Crossing of Mill Creek Mill St 32
Improved Four-Lane Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon Pedestrian scale lighting illuminates the sidewalk specifically Wayfinding Signage 33
A Road Diet • Two vehicle travel lanes • Center median/left turn lane B • Option : Bicycle lanes between 13 th and 24 th Streets (parking removed from one side) C 34 C A B
Road Diet Enhanced Pedestrian Realm Road Diet Parklet Treatment 35
A Hybrid • Road Diet west of 17 th Street B • Improved Four Lane east of 17 th Street C Road Diet Improved Four Lanes 36 A B C
Hybrid Road Diet Enhanced Pedestrian Realm Pedestrian scale lighting illuminates the Wayfinding Signage sidewalk specifically 37
Tell us what you think… Improved Four- Road Diet Hybrid Lane • Two vehicle • Road Diet west of • Similar to 17 th Street travel lanes existing roadway • Center • Improved Four • Four travel lanes, median/left turn Lane east of 17 th no median lane Street • Pedestrian enhancements • Option : Bicycle • Bike routes on lanes between 13 th and 24 th Chemeketa and Mill streets Streets (parking removed from one side) • Option : Signals at 19th & 21st streets 38
#6: Should State Street remain four travel lanes, with minimal pedestrian enhancements and no bike facilities? 1. Yes 2. No 3. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% Yes No I am not sure 39
#7: If State Street remains four travel lanes, should new signals or enhanced pedestrian crossings be added at 19 th and 21 st Streets? 1. Add new signals 2. Add enhanced pedestrian crossings 3. Do not add signals or crossings 4. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% 0% Add new Add enhanced Do not add I am not sure signals pedestrian signals or crossings crossings 40
#8: Should State Street be two travel lanes with a center turn lane throughout the entire corridor (i.e., Road Diet)? 1. Yes 2. No 3. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% 41 Yes No I am not sure
#9: Should State Street be two travel lanes with a center turn lane only on the west end between 12 th and 17 th Street? 1. Yes 2. No 3. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% 42 Yes No I am not sure
#10: If Should State Street is two travel lanes with a center turn lane, what should be added to the street? 1. Wider sidewalks & spaces for landscaping, lighting, street furniture and/or other amenities 2. Bike lanes and slightly wider sidewalks 3. I am not sure 0% 0% 0% Wider sidewalks & Bike lanes and slightly I am not sure spaces for landscaping, wider sidewalks lighting, street furniture and/or other 43 amenities
Summary of Options Create a Vibrant State Street 44
The concepts that changed West End Focus the land use pattern throughout West End the entire Nodal Focus corridor meet with Southern Addition the project goals the best. West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition Entire Corridor Nodal Focus 45
