Roslyn Old City Hall and Community Center <br />Tourism -Related, Small -Scale Municipality -Owned Capital Project <br />1. Project Description: Please describe the project in detail. Indicate the major work to be <br />completed, any milestones that need to be overcome in order for the project to move forward, <br />and include a comparison of existing and proposed conditions. <br />This request is to improve the parking lot located at 201 S I" St by paving and striping. The <br />parking lot at 201 S 1" St currently serves as the primary parking area for community events, <br />Roslyn Urban Forest trailhead, Roslyn's City Hall, Library and Community Center, and ARRF <br />Animal Shelter. <br />Existing Conditions: <br />This parking area is gravel and riddled with potholes. In the winter, it becomes very slick with <br />ice and City staff is unable to effectively plow or sand it due to the inconsistent grade. Other <br />times, it creates a barrier to access for people with disabilities who either have a hard time <br />walking on the uneven ground or wheelchairs that cannot navigate the potholes and rough <br />gravel. The City of Roslyn has determined that there is a shortage of parking and without <br />striping, this lot often has inefficient visitor's parking, with cars parked every which way. <br />Proposed Conditions: <br />Funds would pay for the paving of the parking area and striping of parking stalls, which would <br />allow for increased parking and access to Roslyn's many tourists attractions, including <br />community events, Roslyn Urban Forest trailhead, and Roslyn's City Hall, Library and <br />Community Center. <br />2.

Explain how the improvements will promote tourism in Kittitas <br />County and indicate specifically how the improvements will directly increase economic activity <br />resulting from tourists (see the definition of tourist on page 3 of this application). <br />GOALS: This project addresses goals 1, 5, and 7. <br />Goal 1 - Develop integrity of place <br />Providing additional, accessible, and safe parking at this particular location will allow for <br />visitors to experience all ofRoslyn's attractions.
