PROJECT NARRATTVE
1. Project Description: Describe the scope of work. Indicate 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 Pennsylvania Avenue and Harris Avenue, including the southwestem bulbout at the First
Street and Harris Avenue intersection. This project would complete all revitalization efforts in
approximately 40o/o of the Downtown Revitalization corridor and establish critical utility system
connections between the limits of the current Phase 34. and Phase 38 projects.
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:
1. Phase I - Peoh Avenue and SR 903 (First Street) Intersection Improvements;
2. Phase 2 - First Street Stormwater Improvements and Billings Avenue to Oakes Avenue
Improvements; and
3. Phase 3 - Downtown Revitalization including First Street pedestrian and street improvements.
Since adopting the Prefened Alternative in 2017, over $5.8 million in funding has been secured from 21
sources, including local, state, and federal programs. The Downtown RevitalizationFunding 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:
o all remaining stormwater improvements for the six-block project corridor,
o 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:
o streetscape improvements on the south block between Billings Avenue and Oakes Avenue,
o intersection improvements along First Street at Oakes Avenue, Pennsylvania Avenue, Harris Avenue,
Wright Avenue, and Bullitt Avenue, and
o the north and south blocks between the intersections of Oakes Avenue and Peoh Avenue.
Funding was secured for Phase 3 design and the City completed o'shovel-ready" plans and specifications
in November 2020. Due to funding limitations, the construction of Phase 3 is underway in several
subphases. Phase 3,{, including various improvements from Billings Avenue to Pennsylvania Avenue,
and Phase 38, including improvements to the north block of First Street from Pennsylvania Avenue to
Harris Avenue, will be completed this fall. The updated Downtown Revitalization Project Summary
brochure is attached for reference.
Scope of Work
Successful award of this application will complete the third subphase, Phase 3C, consisting of
improvements on the south side of First Street from Pennsylvania Avenue to Harris Avenue, including the
southwest bulbout at the intersection of First Street and Harris Avenue. This project will complete nearly
all proposed improvements between Pennsylvania Avenue and Harris Avenue, bringing the City's vision
to reality along another block and maintaining momentum towards completion of the entire Downtown
Revitalization project. The City anticipates development and private investment will be spumed 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 conditions (following project completion).
Existing Conditions
Sidewalk
Sidewalk is deteriorating on both sides of First Street throughout the project corridor. There are currently
two large driveway entrances to a single business on the south side of First Street between Pennsylvania
Avenue and Harris Avenue, The comer ofthe Harris Avenue intersection includes deteriorating pedestrian
ramps. Mismatched street lights, inconsistent site amenities, and minimal landscaping exist in the
sidewalk.
Street
First Street is an auto-centric thoroughfare. Since First Street was the original state highway through Cle
Elum prior to construction of Interstate 90 (I-90), travel lanes along the project corridor were constructed
17-ft wide. The roadway also includes a l2-fttwo-way turn lane and l8-ft paved and striped parking strips
on both sides of the street. First Street from Oakes Avenue to Peoh Avenue, including the Phase 3C project
area,remains State Route 903 to this day.
Proposed Conditions
Sidewolk
Phase 3C will construct sidewalk improvements along the south side of First Street between Pennsylvania
Avenue and Harris Avenue (excluding the south bulbout at First Street and Pennsylvania Avenue), nearly
completing another block of the six-block revitalization corridor. These improvements include patterned
sidewalks, planters with columnar street trees and GFCI receptacles, irrigation, pedestrian and street
illumination, site amenities, overhead banner pole and foundation, mid-block bulbout, and the southeast
bulbout at the intersection of First Street and Harris Avenue. The overhead banner pole and foundation and
the two bulbouts will constructed opposite their northern counterparts constructed in Phase 3B, completing
each pair.
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. The wide sidewalks allow
for amenities such as seating, shade, bicycle racks, planter boxes, public art, and trash receptacles without
4
impacting pedestrian mobility. The bulbouts are specifically designed to shorten pedestrian crossings at
each intersection of the corridor, while heightening driver awareness throughout Cle Elum's pedestrian-
interactive downtown setting.
Street
The now auto-centric thoroughfare of First Street will be placed on a road diet. Driving lane widths will
be reduced to 11 feet to promote speed calming through the corridor. Both driveway entrances on the
southem block 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. If this project is not done, will the anticipated private development still take place?
Although Phase 3 has required project division due to the overall cost being greater than available funding
opportunities, construction of Phase 3C completes both sides of First Street between Pennsylvania Avenue
and Harris Avenue, completing approximately 40%o 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 another half block
prepared for immediate economic development opportunities.
By planning the proposed streetscape improvements in the subphase manner, necessary interruptions to
local transportation, coflrmerce, 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 corridor. Separately, project elements in Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 3 addressed
infrastructure issues that are linked to economic development. When considered together, the Phase 3C
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 westemmost
intersections and along various blocks throughout the corridor, 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 project, 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-I9, 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 many 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 opportunities in the
neighboring communities of South Cle Elum, Roslyn, Ronald, and Suncadia, Cle Elum's regionally
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 3C
5
continues to implement the vision of community stakeholders and the City's formulated actions to provide
for infill opportunities and encourage commerce expansion.
Streets cape Improvements
Cle 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 Interstate 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 Second 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. 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. Currently, 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 amenities in Phase 3C 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 walkability and offers downtown businesses unique opportunities to interact
harmoniously 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 a dw ay I nfr as t r uc t ur e
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 narrowing 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 auto-related collisions.
The extensiveness of economic development opportunity will not be achieved without Phase 3C
construction.

4. Public Benefit:
Please describe the public benefit derived from project completion.
Conceptual plans and studies have been prepared for Cle Elum's downtown corridor over the past 20 years
to improve traffic flow, optimize parking, and build a pedestrian-friendly environment. The latter has
always been a focal point to enhance Cle Elum's tourism experience. The plans also addressed the need
for improvements to stormwater facilities throughout the City. 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 $5.8 million in 6.5 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 prefered alternative by City Council. Though the planning process did not include a market
study and potential economic outcomes following completion of the revitalization, comparisons were made
7
to many of the eastern Washington neighboring communities implementing main street revitalizations,
with overwhelming positive results.
Eastern Washington examples of economic revitalization resulting from revitalized Main
Streets/downtowns include Grandview, Sunnyside, and Yakima, Washington. The consultant team
contracted by the City (HLA and HBB) led these three efforts, including the award-winning Grandview
ooAlive" 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 corridor, 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
opportunities. 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
born and presented at a combined City Council and Planning Commission study session, see attached titled
"Cle Elum Downtown Planning - Focus on lst Street Design Concepts." Following the study session, the
concept was presented at a public forum with32 participants, continuing to gain traction. After detailing
the preferred concept to address public desires, the Planning Commission prepared an official
recommendation to the City Council on June 26,2017,to adopt the Preferred Alternative, see attached. On
June27,2017, the City Council adopted by Resolution2}lT-011 (attached) the Preferred Alternative with
an overwhelming amount of support from the community, 45 participants and standing room only in the
Council Chambers.
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 in2077,and as the City completed Phases 1,2,3A, and 3B, 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. The remainder of Phase 3, including Phase 3C, will require an estimated $10,444,000
to complete.
8
The City is continuing to aggressively seek funding for the Phase 3 subphases. Kittitas County Conference
of Governments generously contributed towards the 2022 Phase 3.A improvements from Billings Avenue
to Pennsylvania Avenue. As evidenced by the Phase 3,A' construction, funding for Phase 3C can be used to
leverage assurance to stakeholders and partners and continue crucial momentum towards completion of
the entire Downtown Revitalization project.
6. Explain how construction ready this infrastructure project is relative to design completeness and the permitting
process.
Design funding for Phase 3 was previously secured through a Public Works Board loan, and "shovel-
ready" plans and specifications were completed for the project in November 2020. Due to funding
limitations, the construction of Phase 3 will be completed in subphases. Phase 3,{ and 38 will be completed
this fall with the remaining construction work (including the Phase 3C project described in Question I of
this funding request) from Oakes Avenue to Peoh Avenue is estimated at$I0,444,000. The City recognizes
the importance of continued momentum towards construction of the entire corridor and continues to
aggressively pursue funding opportunities for future subphases.
As First Street from Oakes Avenue to Peoh Avenue also serves as SR 903, WSDOT approval is required
for all future subphases. WSDOT has reviewed and approved the Phase 3 design plans, and coordination
with affected public and private agencies, such as WSDOT, Puget Sound Energy, Lumen, and Inland
Networks has been underway since 2018. As the Phase 2 andPhase 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:
a
a
Consultation with affected tribes. Tribal consultation was completed on March 26, 2019, No
comments were received from tribes.
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 corridor. Per DAHP's concurrence letter dated April26,2019,
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 Determination of
Nonsignificance was issued on December 20,2018. No comments were received and the Notice of
Action Taken was issued on January 29,2019.
The NEPA re-evaluation was approved on March 23,2022, and extends the NEPA approval to March
23,2025.

7. Indicate the Estimated Number of Short Term and/or Permanent Jobs Created/Retained by the Project.
In the shorter term, the City anticipates between32 and 38 people will be employed during the four months
of this construction project: One general contractor with 7-8 employees and additional subcontractors:
o Roadway subcontractor (paving, bulb-outs): 8-10 employees
o Sidewalk/Curbing/Planting subcontractor: 8-10 employees
o Lighting subcontractor: 4-5 employees
. Traffic control subcontractor: 4-5 employees
o Construction administation services: 5 employees
9
Indirectly, and in the longer term, the completion of Phase 3C 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.
