Agenda Welcome • Project Overview • Background Meeting Purpose Alternatives for State Street • Street Design Land Use Next Steps • 2

Project Overview Create a Vibrant State Street 3

Study Area 4

Existing Street • Two lanes in each direction • Narrow sidewalks • Limited pedestrian crossings • No bike lanes along most of corridor 5

Existing Land Use Vacant and underutilized • properties Many different zoning • designations 6

How We Got Here Analyze Evaluate Preferred Existing & Identify Evaluate Additional Land Use and Future Options Options Street Design Street Design Conditions Options Alternatives State Street Public Public Today Survey Workshop #1 Workshop #2 Late 2015- March 8, September 14, Early 2016 2016 2016 7

Meeting Purpose Present preferred street design and land • use recommendations Review other street design alternatives • evaluated Seek input and comments • 8

Street Design Alternatives Create a Vibrant State Street 9

Three Street Design Alternatives 1. Improved Four-Lane 2. Road Diet 3. Hybrid – City Staff Recommendation 10

Common Elements • Wider sidewalks along entire corridor • Additional pedestrian crossings • Changes to right-of-way A C B 12 TH St 25 TH St 13 TH St 17 TH St 11 86 ft 56 ft 99 ft

Improved Four-Lane A • Similar to existing roadway • Four travel lanes with no median B • No bike lanes on State Street Bike routes on parallel streets C 12 A B C

Evaluation: Improved Four-Lane    Least expensive to  Least traffic calming implement  No dedicated bike lanes  Minimal neighborhood  Limited on-street parking cut-through traffic  Least likely to stimulate  Easiest to implement redevelopment  Not consistent with NEN- SESNA plan 13

Road Diet A • Two travel lanes • Center turn lane B • Bike lanes on State Street • Public preference C 14 A B C

Evaluation: Road Diet    Additional on-street  Most traffic diverted to parking parallel routes  Continuous bike lane  Greatest increase in neighborhood cut-  Aligns with market through traffic analysis  More expensive to  Most likely to spur implement redevelopment  Most consistent with NEN-SESNA plan 15

Hybrid: Preferred A • Hybrid West of 17 th : Road Diet East of 17 th : Improved Four Lane B • Dedicated bike lanes between 13 th and 17 th streets C Improved Four Lane Road Diet 16 A B C

Evaluation: Hybrid     Additional on-  Some traffic  More expensive street parking diversion onto to implement parallel routes and  Aligns with market  Potential safety cut-through traffic analysis issues when bike  Partial bike lanes lanes end  Aligns with NEN- SESNA plan  Easy to phase 17

Preferred Land Use Create a Vibrant State Street 18

Preferred Land Use • Two new mixed-use zones • MU-1 west of 17 th • MU-2 east of 17 th 19

Mixed-Use 1 (MU-1) • Multi-story mixed use (retail space on ground floor) • Commercial uses • Taller buildings (4-5 stories) • Pedestrian-oriented design standards 20

Mixed-Use 2 (MU-2) • Mixed-use and multifamily housing • Commercial uses • Shorter buildings (3-4 stories) • Pedestrian-oriented design standards 21

Setbacks • Buildings abutting residential zones: 5-10 foot setback • Larger setbacks for taller buildings 22

MU-2 Setback: Where MU-2 abuts residential 23

Next Steps Create a Vibrant State Street 24

Next Steps August 2017: Finalize Alternatives Fall-Winter 2017: Draft and Present Final Plan 2018: Adopt code changes Continue funding discussions 25
