also one block away from Pennsylvania Avenue, the home of many tourist events such as the <br />Roslyn Farmer's Market. <br />Goal 5- Involve the community <br />In the 2008 Comprehensive Plan Update, a goal was set to establish several small parking areas <br />to serve our visitors rather than one large parking area or structure. This would be the first <br />tourism small parking improvement projects, and would serve as a pilot project with opportunity <br />for communityfeedback. <br />Goal 7 — Protect and enhance destination appeal. <br />The biggest complaint we receive from visitor's, event organizers, and even local citizens is the <br />lack of planning on weekends with high tourist turnout. For example, we see an influx of visitors <br />every Sunday in the summer for the Roslyn Farmer's Market from our 895 residents to a <br />whopping 3,000+ visitors. Visitors are parking in our residential areas and walking to the <br />events and downtown businesses causing a parking situation for residents and a safety concern <br />for pedestrians. <br />ACTION ITEMS: <br />This project will address several of the action items in the Kittitas County Tourism Infrastructure <br />Plan, including Action Items 1, 2, 11, 15, and 18. <br />Action Item #1 Open space network/regional trail projects and Action Item #2 Natural area <br />access and interpretation <br />The proposed parking area improvement will be the primary parking location for the Roslyn <br />Urban Forest Trail System and the secondary parking location for the Coal Mine Trailheadd, <br />Action Item #11 Public streetscape tourism enhancements and Action Item #15 Music, dance, <br />and drama performance facilities <br />The proposed parking area improvement will serve the Roslyn City Hall, Library and <br />Community Center as well as the downtown core.
