Project Description: Describe the scope of work. lndicate the major work involved, including a brief comparison of existing and proposed conditions. The City of Cle Elum is proposing a construction project for improvements to the south block of First Street between Billings Avenue and Oakes Avenue, the western and northeastern corners at the First Street and Oakes Avenue intersection, and the north block of First Street from Oakes Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue. This project would complete all revitalization efforts in approximately 25o/o of the Downtown Revitalization corridor. Background ln 2017, the City of Cle Elum initiated a Downtown Revitalization effort to enhance the appearance of First Street, increase economic growth and vitality, and create a safe walkable streetscape consistent with their Complete Streets Ordinance. Stakeholders including business and property owners, residents, the general public, Cle Elum's Planning Commission, and City Council provided valuable input throughout the planning process. In June 2017,the City Council unanimously adopted the Preferred Alternative as shown in the conceptual plan by resolution. The resolution established the City's commitment to implement the concepts for street and parking configuration, streetscape amenities, and landscape improvements for First Street. The Downtown Revitalization Preferred Alternative brochure is attached for reference. To implement the Plan, the First Street corridor defines Billings Avenue as the west termini and Peoh Avenue as the east termini. To seek funding for all of the improvements identified in the concept plan, the corridor was separated into three succinct phases: L Phase I - Peoh Avenue and SR 903 (First Street) Intersection Improvements; 2. Phase 2 - First Street Stonnwater Improvements and Billings Avenue to Oakes Avenue Improvements; and 3. Phase 3 - Downtown Revitalization including First Street pedestrian and street improvements. SinceadoptingthePreferredAlternativein20lT,$3.5millioninfundinghasbeensecuredfrom l4sources, including local, stateo and federal programs. The Downtown Revitalization Funding Summary is attached for reference. Phase l, completed in December 2018, constructed all stormwater, sidewalk, and roadway improvements at the First Street and Peoh Avenue Intersection. Phase 2, completed in the fall of 2020, constructed:r all remaining stonnwater improvements for the six-block project corridor,r sidewalk and roadway improvements at the First Street and Billings Avenue intersection, ando the north block between Billings Avenue and Oakes Avenue. Phase 3 includes:. streetscape improvements on the south block between Billings Avenue and Oakes Avenue,r intersection improvements along First Street at Oakes Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Harris Avenue, Wright Avenue, and Bullitt Avenue, ando the north and south blocks between the intersections of Oakes Avenue and Peoh Avenue. J Funding was secured for Phase 3 design and the City cornpleted "shovel-ready" plans and specifications in November 2020. Due to funding limitations, the construction of Phase 3 will be completed in subphases, The Downtown Revitalization Project Sumrnary brochure is attached for reference. Scope of Work Successful award of this application will increase the scope of the first construction subphase, Phase 34, which secured funding through the Distressed County Sales and Use Tax Infrastructure Improvement Program in 2021. The original scope consisted of improvements on the south block of First Street from Billings Avenue to Oakes Avenueo and the northwest and southwest corners of the First Street and Oakes Avenue intersection. This application seeks to secure additional funding to include improvements at the northeast conler of the First Street and Oakes Avenue intersection and along the north block of First Street from Oakes Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue, to provide improved economy of scale and encourage a more competitive bidding climate for a larger construction project in spring 2021. An updated project brochure, Phase 3A Billings Ave to Pennsylvania Ave, is attached for reference. With a tangible example of delivering a good faith completion of this portion of the Downtown Revitalization project, the City anricipates development and private investment will be spurred along the improved blocks (see related discussion in Question 4). The City has prepared the following summary comparing existing conditions (before the project) with proposed cond itions (fol lowing project completion). Existing Conditions Sidewalk Sidewalk is deteriorating on both sides of First Street throughout the project corridor. There are currently three large driveway entrances to two gas stations on the south side of First Street between Billings Avenue and Oakes Avenue, as well as three driveway entrances to a single business on the north side of First Street between Oakes Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue. The comers of the Oakes Avenue intersection include deteriorating pedestrian ramps. WSDOT-owned signal poles, mismatched street lights, inconsistent site amenities, minimal landscaping, and an older fire hydrant exist in the sidewalk. Slreet First Street is an auto-centric thoroughfare. Since First Street was the original state highway through Cle Elum prior to construction of Interstate 90 (l-90), travel lanes in the vicinity of the Oakes Avenue intersection were constructed l7-ft wide. First Street from Oakes Avenue to Peoh Avenue is still State Route 903. First Street also includes a l2-ft two-way tum lane and l8-ft paved and striped parking strips on both sides of the street. In the early 2000s, small bulbouts were installed at the Oakes Avenue intersection, which eliminated some of the parking strip, but created 2l -ft wide travel lanes. Proposed Conditions Sidewalk The Oakes Avenue intersection improvements include three sidewalk bulbouts with two ADA curb ramps each, widened sidewalks, amenities, street trees with GFCI receptacles, planters, and imigation. Sidewalk improvements along the south side of First Street between Billings Avenue and Oakes Avenue and the north side of First Street between Oakes Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue include pattemed sidewalks, planters with columnar street trees and GFCI receptacles, inigation, pedestrian and street illumination, site amenities, and a mid-block bulbout between Oakes Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue to create an additional pedestrian crossing. Construction of all subphases under Phase 3 will complete a continuous and unencumbered sidewalk system on both sides of First Street accommodating pedestrians of all abilities. 4 The wide sidewalks allow for amenities such as seating, shade, bicycle racks, planter boxes, public art, and trash receptacles without impacting pedestrian mobility. The bulbouts are specifically designed to shorten pedestrian crossings at each intersection of the corridor, while heightening driver awareness at the western end of Cle Elum's pedestrian-interactive downtown setting. Slreel The now auto-centric thoroughfare of First Street will be placed on a road diet. Driving lane widths will be reduced to I I feet to promote speed calming through the corridor. Two driveway entrances between Billings Avenue and Oakes Avenue and two between Oakes Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue will be removed and allow for more diagonal parking at 30-degree desirable angles without adding more impervious surfacing. Street lighting will be a blend of pedestrian-level and street lighting. Electrical GFCI receptacles, incorporated into the light poles, will increase access to City planned downtown events such as holiday lighting. Designing and constructing the street for a right-sized downtown feel and dimension allows the City to better maintain the roadway and integrated infrastructure systems. 2. Explain how the infrastructure project will help meet the economic development goals of your community and/or region. lf this project is not done, will the anticipated private development still take place? Although Phase 3 requires further project size dividing to match funding opportunities, construction of an expanded Phase 3,4 completes both sides of First Street between Billings and Oakes, as well as the north side of First Street between Oakes and Pennsylvania, completing approximately 25% of all improvements as planned for in the Downtown Revitalization Plan. With completion of streetscape improvements, the City's residents and businesses will witness implementation of the expressed downtown vision of stakeholdErs on one-and-a-half blocks prepared for immediate economic development opportunities. By planning the proposed streetscape improvements in the subphase manner, necessary interruptions to local transportation, commerce, and day-to-day operations on each block of First Street will be limited to one occasion, placing Cle Elum in a positive light with existing and prospective businesses not only on that block, but throughout the conidor. Separately, project elements in Phase l, Phase 2, andPhase 3 addressed infrastructure issues that are linked to economic development. When considered together, the Phase 3A streetscape improvements project is undeniably well aligned with the purpose of the Distressed County Sales and Use Tax Infrastructure Improvement Program. Though all Phase 3 streetscape improvements have been completed at the easternmost and westernmost intersections and along a single block only, the City is already experiencing redevelopment and reinvestment along First Street, In 2019 and 2020, the City saw seventeen new businesses, seventeen building sales, one infill projecto one redevelopment, and four aesthetic improvement projects for local businesses. Several businesses have experienced record sales each month since the start of the pandemic, but even prior to COVID-19, the entire Upper Kittitas County was experiencing record tourism Thursdays through Mondays, primarily from the Seattle metropolitan area. As a result of the tourist-generated transportation gridlock, the County has initiated a coalition to work with WSDOT and other stakeholders to accelerate the 6-laning of I-90 from Snoqualmie Pass all the way to Cle Elum. This Downtown Revitalization, with an emphasis on a safe and walkable streetscape will bolster Cle Elum's already thriving tourist economy, enticing marry of the 30,000 vehicles that pass Cle Elum every day to stop and spend money at local businesses. However, it is not just tourists or Cle Elum's population of 2,000 that will benefit. A flourishing downtown will also positively reach all of Upper Kittitas County's 5,000 residents as Cle Elum's "downtown" is considered the Upper Kittitas County downtown. With very limited commerce oppoftunities in the neighboring communities of South Cle Elum, Roslyn, Ronald, and Suncadia, Cle Elum's regionally 5 significant Downtown Revitalization can meet all of Upper Kittitas County's day-to-day needs including retail, dining, service, medical, grocery, fuel, amongst many other industries. Completing Phase 34, showcases the vision of the community stakeholders and the City's formulated actions to provide for infill oppor-tunities and encourage commerce expansion. Slreetscape I mprovemen ts CIe Elum enjoys year-round outdoor tourism. Ample amounts of snow provide wintertime outdoor activities and considerable spring and fall rain provides lush and attractive forests encouraging outdoor recreation for much of the year. Though the natural environment attracts people to Cle Elum, the built environment has not been welcoming for commerce oriented toward or promoting a walkable downtown. On unimproved intersections in the downtown area, pedestrians are required to traverse close to 80 feet of paved State Route highway to cross First Street. Oakes Avenue acts as the busy connector, south of First Street, for traffic exiting lnterstate 90 and entering Cle Elum's downtown. The intersection at Oakes Avenue is also a short but important portion of SR 903, by which SR 903 transitions from west-east travel on 2nd Street to continue west-east travel on First Street towards the east edge of downtown. Differentiating the streetscape to the extent proposed will enhance drivers' sense of place and increase traffic calming. Both of these principles are included in Cle Elum's Downtown Revitalization economic development goals. Creating a safer and inclusive environment for both motorized and non-motorized transportation is also promoted in the City's Complete Streets Ordinance No. 1455, see attached. In such an environment, many types of businesses can be co-located and thrive amongst the diversity. Consistency in design and ensuring infrastructure was brought up to a state of good repair throughout the First Street corridor was expressed by stakeholders as important for economic development. Cunently, the sidewalks along First Street are not continuous, have ADA compliance deficiencies, and are in an overall state of disrepair. Bulb-out design and size, parking orientation, and arnenities in Phase 3,A are designed to provide perceived comfort, shade, illumination, and safety for people whether moving by automobile or using the sidewalk system. The design of incorporating ADA opportunity at each intersection, moving poles, hydrants and other obstacles out of the travel way of the sidewalk, and widening sidewalks to allow for businesses to create entryways, increases walkabiliry and offers downtown businesses unique opportunities to interact hannoniously with those seeking their goods and services. Walkability and unique commerce interaction in the downtown corridor are also goals of Cle Elum's Downtown Revitalization. Ro udw ay Infra str uct u re First Street is an unusually wide street in a small City. The width is a legacy of the street acting as the highway before Interstate 90 was constructed. The proposed road diet consisting of narowing the roadway, increasing parking in a safer orientation, increasing sidewalk and pedestrian amenities, together should slow traffic in the downtown area and may reduce the frequency and severity of the 32 auto-related collisions experienced between 2013-2017 . The extensiveness of economic development opportunity will not be achieved without Phase 34 construction. 3. lndicate if the project is consistent with the following applicable state, regional and local plans and prioritization processes: Overall Economic Development Plan - Officially Adopted: Yakima and Kittitas Counties Regionql Comprehensive Economic Development Plan (2015) x 6 Strategy Goals: relates to - Goal one, Goal two, Goal three, Goal four, Goalfive, and Goal six.

Past plans and studies continually lost momentum as the City's limited budget restricted possibilities for advancing forward without financial assistance. With procurement of grants/loans totaling $3.5 million in 3.5 years, Cle Elum residents and business owners have acknowledged the reality of the downtown revitalization coming to fruition. The rigorous planning process discussed in question 5 included feasibility analysis of design alternatives, followed by adoption of the preferred altemative by City Council. Though the planning process did not include a market 7 a a x x x X X study and potential economic outcomes following completion of the revitalization, comparisons were made to many of the eastem Washington neighboring communities implementing main street revitalizations, with overwhelnring positive results. Eastern Washington examples of economic revitalization resulting from revitalized Main Streets/downtowns include Crandview, Sunnyside, and Yakima, Washington. The consultant team contracted by the City (HLA and HBB) led these three efforts, including the award-winning Grandview 'oAlive" Downtown Revitalization, where over twenty store fronts were vacant prior to the project, and today, there are no downtown vacancies in the thriving community. As discussed in Question 2, this economic revitalization has already begun in Cle Elum's downtown. Public benefits from the project completion are improved transportation flow and decrease in multi-modal conflict. For the motoring public, reduced travel lanes and increased streetscape defines the space of the walkable downtown and prepares the driver for slower and mixed mobility activity. The majority of improvements are for people using the sidewalk system in the downtown core. Wide, unobstructed sidewalks, a mix of street and pedestrian level lighting, bulb-outs designed to reduce the crossing distance at every intersection in the conidor, and shade and amenities to provide comfort are all elements included in the design with public benefit as the focus. 5. Define the total number of project partners demonstrating project support. The City retained the services of HLA Engineering and Land Surveying, Inc. (HLA), together with HBB Landscape Architecture (HBB), to facilitate the downtown planning process to arrive at a concept titled the "Preferred Alternative" as shown on the attached pamphlet titled "Downtown Revitalization Planning lst Street Concept." The planning process was initiated in April 2017 with a Walk and Talk downtown tour, which included City staff and the Mayor, primarily to discuss existing themes, deficiencies, and oppoftunities. Next, four focus group sessions were administered with assistance from Central Washington University land-use planning students, including business owners, longtime residents, students, and Suncadia Resort members. From the focus groups, HLA and HBB created two geometric layouts of a typical block and three amenity grouping concepts. These layouts and concepts were presented at a community stakeholder workshop with 28 participants, and public preferences were noted. Based on workshop findings, a preferred concept was bom and presented at a combined City Council and Planning Commission study session, see attached titled "Cle Elum Downtown Planning * Focus on I st Street Design Concepts." Following the study session, the concept was presented at a public forum with 32 participants, continuing to gain traction. After detailing the prefened concept to address public desires, the Planning Commission prepared an official recommendation to the City Council on June 26,2017, to adopt the Prefered Alternative, see attached. On lune27,2017,the City Council adopted by Resolution 2017-01 I (attached) the Prefered Altemative with an overwhelming amount of support from the community, 45 participants and standing room only in the Council Chambers. Construction of the stormwater system took place and nearly all remaining street improvements will take place within existing Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) right of way, while the City has control of access points. As a result, the City has been required to and will continue to receive WSDOT approval on plans and specifications prior to construction (see Question 6). Since the initial outreach in 2017, and as the City completed Phases I and 2, the City has continued partnering with funding providers such as: Kittitas County Conference of Governments, USDA, FHWA, Department of Ecology, Department of Commerce, QUADCO, Public Works Board, Washington State Legislators, and TIB. In its entirety, Phase 3 will require an estimated $6,950,000 to complete. 8 The City is continuing to aggressively seek funding for each subphase in Phase 3, having recently submitted an application for construction of Phase 38 - Pennsylvania Avenue to Haris Avenue. Kittitas County Conference of Covernments has already gerrerously contributed towards a continued partnership to complete streetscape improvements on the westernmost block (original Phase 3A). Additional funds awarded as a result of this application would include improvements at the northeast corner of the First Street and Oakes Avenue intersection and along the north block of First Street from Oakes Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue, to provide improved economy of scale and encourage a more competitive bidding climate for a larger construction project in spring 2021. This funding can be used to leverage assurance to stakeholders and partners, and present the standard of Cle Elum's completed block of improvements to future funders. 6, Explain how construction ready this infrastructure project is relative to design completeness and the permitting process. Design funding for Phase 3 was previously secured through a Public Works Board loan, and "shovel- ready" plans and specifications were completed for the project in November 2020. Due to funding limitations, the construction of Phase 3 will be completed in subphases. The remaining construction work (excluding the Phase 34 project described in Question I of this funding request) from Oakes Avenue to Peoh Avenue is estimated at $5,841,540. The City recently submitted an application for $950,000 to complete Phase 38, and continues to aggressively pursue funding opporlunities for future subphases. As First Street from Oakes Ave to Peoh Ave also serves as SR 903, WSDOT approval is required for all projects along First Street. WSDOT has reviewed and approved the Phase 3 design plans, and coordination with WSDOT has already been initiated to secure the required construction agreement for completion of Phase 3A. As the Phase 2 and Phase 3 project footprints are the same, many of the approvals and permits for the extensive environmental processes completed during Phase 2 also apply to the upcoming Phase 3 subphases. This includes: o Consultation with affected tribes. Tribal consultation was completed on March 26, 2019. No comments were received from tribes. o Consultation with Department of Archaeology and Historic Preservation (DAHP). An extensive cultural resources survey was completed for Phase 2 at DAHP's request. The survey examined 53 potential historic properties along the coridor. Per DAHP's concunence lener dated Apfi|26,2019, a monitoring plan was established and enacted during Phase 2 construction from March to August 2020. There were no artifacts or features noted during monitoring. . Coordination with Department of Ecology (DOE). The SEPA checklist was prepared for and transmitted to DOE for the Phase 2 project in December 2018. The Final Detennination of Nonsignificance was issued on December 20,2018. No comments were received and the Notice of Action Taksn was issued on January 29,2019. 7. lndicate the Estimated Number of Short Term and/or Permanent Jobs Created/Retained by the Proiect. ln the shorter term, the City anticipates between 37 and 38 people will be employed during the four months of this construction project: One general contractor with 7-8 employees and additiolral subcontractors:. Roadway subcontractor (paving, bulb-outs): 8-10 employeesr Sidewalk/Curbing/Planting subcontractor: 8-10 employeeso Lighting subcontractor: 4-5 employeesr Traffic control subcontractor: 4-5 employees 9 a Construction adm i nistration services : 5 employees Indirectly, and in the longer term, the completion of Phase 34 improvements will retain existing jobs in the corridor (estimated at eight jobs per business within the project limits; 600 total) and spur job creation as infill is experienced in vacant store fronts and restaurants expand business hours to serve additional customers, Submit the original application to: Kittitas County Department of Public Works 411 N.
