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