Encouraging non -motorized transportation integrating both motorized and non -motorized <br />transportation, creates a safer and inclusive environment as promoted in the City's Complete Streets <br />Ordinance No. 1455, see attached. In such an environment, many types of businesses can be co - <br />located and thrive amongst the diversity. The sidewalks will have adequate width to acoommodate <br />pedestrian amenities and allow businesses to expand their services and wares onto the sidewalk to <br />further encourage foot traffic. Promoting the walkability in the downtown opens Cie Elum's <br />business and economic opportunities, attracting pedestrians, bicyclists, and passenger vehicles alike. <br />Roadway 14ft ate eftre <br />First Street is an unusually wide street in a small City. The proposed road diet consisting of <br />narrowing the roadway, increasing perking in a safer orientation, increasing sidewalk and pedestrian <br />amenities, together should slow traffic in the downtown area and may reduce the frequency and <br />severity of the 32 auto -related collisions experienced between 2013-2017. Designing for road diet <br />treatments on First Street allows for non -motorized transportation options in a built environment <br />meant to encourage and protect people using all modes and of all abilities. <br />3. Preliminary Engineering Phase: <br />Estimated Start Date: January 2019 Estimated End Dais: June L019 <br />Please explain phase status (work already completed, In program, awaiting funding, etc., and factors <br />that may slow phase progress). <br />Portions of the stormwater system design are underway and work will continue through March of <br />2019. The stannwater design work will be integrated with the related Billings Avenue intersection <br />improvements in January 2019. The City has included a Preliminary Engineering Schedule below <br />and a funding summary to be considered during the evaluation of this application on the next page. <br />"fart V1141 <br />I }'rrfllniaarkt±gi%tvr LtqX Ts%k His ern ihli l at # r 11a1r D ,4 t <br />Establish administrative systems �— - <br />City Clerk <br />11/2018 <br />12/2018, <br />Negotiate and execute grant agreement with <br />Kittitas Cour <br />Mayor and City Council <br />1212018 <br />112019 <br />Procure professional services <br />City Council/City Administrator <br />112019 <br />1/2019— <br />/2019Com <br />Complete <br />lete cultural/historical resources review <br />Engineer/City Planner <br />112019 <br />312019 <br />Complete SEPA NEPA <br />er/City Planner <br />112019 <br />3/2019 <br />!

Although the entire corridor is <br />estimated to require an additional $4,598,930, this application's $491,070 request will allow the City <br />to completely design and construct the sto mwater improvements throughout the entire Downtown <br />Revitalization Project corridor, as well as the Billings Avenue intersection improvements. <br />Following completion of the stormwater system and "book end" intersections, the corridor will be <br />set up for construction of the Downtown Revitalization's final phase. <br />
