Although we may not get 100% response with an informal survey, we still prefer this
method due io the relationship of the consumer and our volunteers. By doing an
informal survey we keep the feeling of old fashion simple small town flavor and are
not abrasive in getting the information, but still are able to get a measurable look into
the data on our attendees.

Leakage translates directly to demand.The data presented in thls section comes from Envlronics Analytics, a nati-onal- retailmarketing service used by town planners, retail & restaurant site planners, and nationafchaj-ns for their market research.

ReconunendationsWhile both the survey and the economj-c analysis point to opportunities and challenges forRoslyn, a key issue of Roslyn i-s that outside inffuences are having a dramatic impact onthe character of the community. While Roslyn has maintained a small-town fee1, a closeconnection with the outdoors, independent businesses, and a strong community spirit;seasonal vi-sitors to the community, housing costs, lack of focaf ;obs, and large developmentsadiacent to Roslyn present challenges outside of the controf of local residents.with1.z.that said, the following recontmendations are dlvided into two parts:Enhancing Economic OpportunitiesCurating the Visitor ExperienceEnhancing Economic OpportunitiesThe following reconrmendations are designed to offer alternatives for Roslyn that areconsistent with local desires as well as opportunlties to grow the retail base, offerways for 1ocals to pursue other j-ncome streams, enhance the retail/restaurant climate ofdowntown, and curate the unique character of the community.Pursue Emporium Style Retail: With the cfosure of the Harper Lumber Company, Roslynnow faces the largest retail- vacancy in downtown in recent history. A portion ofthis property could be repurposed into an emporium style retail- store that allowsfor focal craftsmen, artisans, makers, and specialty food vendors to occupy spacewith a single point of sale. A successful modef of the emporium style store can befound in Kittitas, Washington where a former hardware store has been converted intofourteen spaces for independent retailers.oaConsider A Rotating Restaurant: Communitieschefs to populate restaurant spaces in townnow experimenting with allowingtemporary basls using existingareona23

Vancouver, Washington 1s home to Source Climbing Centerwhich is located in a store front on Main Street. They offer kids classes, groupoutings, and special men's and fadie's nights for climbing. These type of uses canoccur in existing storefronts, create employment opportunities, and" attract l-ocalfamilies.Explore Specialty Food/Grocer: While traditional grocery store spaces 1n the areaare saturated, specialty food is still an opportunity for Roslyn.

Temporary signs (that may become permanent over time)should be placed on peak days directing visitors to use these lots.Enforce Tirned On-Street Parking During Peak Times: Evidence indicates in the surveyand in conversations within Roslyn that visitors and employees are using criticaf onstreet spaces for extended periods of time. These spaces are critical to the day-to-day operation of businesses in Roslyn. The community should consider targetedenforcement of parking regulations during key times. With technology allowing forapps to be downloaded on phones and easy adaptable printers, the cost of enforcementhas diminished greatly. It isn't necessary for parking to be enforced year-roundhowever, frequent offenders, and high demand parkinq days shoufd be enforced toensure the parking resources in the communi-ty are protected for customers.Create Pedestrian Orientation Signs: With visitors directed to park at l-ocationsnot within the core of downtown, simple orientation signs shou1d be considered todirect people to key l-ocations in town and for cyclists and hikers to get to trails.This wifl create a more pedestrian friendly envj-ronment and in many cases ease signcl-utter.Consider Consistent Desigrn to Curate the Visitor Experience: Information overloadcan be too much for a smalf community so having a consistent col-or, typeface, andsign design system for the above recornmendations shoufd be considered in Roslyn.The following typefaces, colors, and sign concepts are simple examples on how asystem can be employed and carry over from signs to brochures, to businessdirectories, and event promotion.oaaa25
