1 EVERETT STATION Creating a People-Oriented Place May 21, 2013
2 Photo by Jeff Aken OVERVIEW Transit is interested in developing housing around Station, and the City of is leading a Comprehensive Plan update process focused on the greater Station area. In May 2013, Forterra hosted a community event to involve community members in this process with conversation and a walking tour of the neighborhood. Forterra is a regional conservation and community-building nonprofit organization with a goal of focusing new growth near transit and thus conserving the region s important natural landscapes like farms and forests. At the event, Forterra staff led conversations about how the built environment contributes to healthy, safe, and walkable neighborhoods and led a community visioning session to hear what the community would like to see in the Station area. Community members had a diverse range of opinions, and in general supported residential uses, new destinations and neighborhood amenities, safe pedestrian and bike connections, soft open spaces, and business opportunities. Forterra staff at the event included Jeff Aken, Nick Cilluffo, Skye Schell, and Sabrina Bolieu. Christian Runge from Mithun attended as a guest presenter. This project was funded by a grant from the Boeing Company to help build healthy communities in Snohomish County. 2 Station

Jeff Aken discussed Forterra s philosophy that healthy neighborhoods or people-oriented places are those in which people can live, work, and play, with walkable connections to healthy food, urban open space and other community amenities. Nick Cilluffo then led a walking tour of the Station area, during which participants highlighted many of the strengths and weaknesses of the neighborhood. Everyone returned to the meeting room, and Skye Schell facilitated a visioning session in which community members shared their ideas for the future of Station. After all of the attendees shared their ideas, Mithun Landscape Designer Christian Runge spoke about the Mariposa project, a redevelopment project in a Denver neighborhood with many similarities to Station, and how Mithun enhanced health and safety with new residential uses in the area. Lastly, Tom Hingson, Jeff Aken, and Christian Runge answered questions and addressed concerns that community members presented. Forty-eight people attended the event, representing a wide range of interests and roles including area residents, City staff, business owners, and community organizations. Station 3
4 WALKING TOUR Participants walked a half-mile route on the west side of Station with three stops along the way to discuss the pedestrian experience and connections to the core downtown area of the City. The walk began in front of Station and followed 32nd Street west to McDougall Avenue, turning north and making the first stop midblock on McDougall Avenue. Walkers identified strengths and weaknesses here: Strengths Pedestrian friendly sidewalks along 32nd Street Street trees Safe crossing at 32nd Street and McDougall Avenue Pedestrian-oriented building on NW corner of 32nd Street and McDougall Avenue United Way location investment in the area Proximity to core downtown and Comcast Arena Weaknesses No sidewalk on east side of McDougall Avenue (north of 32nd Street) Some buildings setback with auto area immediately in front Some blank wall space Industrial environment on east side of Mc- Dougall Avenue Photo by Skye Schell 4 Station
5 Next, walkers went south to McDougall Avenue and 33rd Street for the second stop, providing another opportunity to highlight strengths and weaknesses of the block: Strengths Restaurant on McDougall Avenue Wide, comfortable sidewalks along 33rd Street Street trees buffering pedestrians from traffic Weaknesses Disconnected sidewalks along McDougall Avenue (parking interruptions) No sidewalk on west side of McDougall Avenue (south of 32nd Street) No destinations - lack of a place to go Blank wall space along McDougall Avenue (south of 33rd Street) Industrial environment The group then walked east on 33rd Street and turned north at Smith Avenue, ending at the entrance to Station on 32nd Street. This final stop provided a view looking westward of the station area and the City s downtown just ½ mile in the background. Having a fresh look at the physical environment around Station, and after identifying some of the strengths and weaknesses of the area, staff posed the question: What is the vision for Station? and reconvened for the facilitated community visioning session.

6 COMMUNITY VISIONING SESSION After returning from the walking tour, Skye Schell led a visioning session. Participants reflected on their long-term vision for Station, and shared their ideas with neighbors and then with the larger group. Many community members seconded or echoed ideas from other speakers, and many agreed on the desire for residential uses, destinations and neighborhood amenities, safe pedestrian and bike connections, soft open spaces, and business opportunities. The following are highlights from the community: Residential uses New multi-family development would provide the residential units to support a vibrant station area. Ideas included condominium developments and other dense housing options. Considerations in residential development include the need for quality affordable housing mixed among market-rate housing. The station area could host a mix of housing options affordable to a full range of incomes and provide quality living space for all. Photo by Jeff Aken Destinations and neighborhood amenities Community members identified the absence of a place to go in the station area. There are few areas where people can gather and simply enjoy the neighborhood. Art and cultural installations would create a sense of place and provide a welcoming feel to the area. Other amenities, like a public book exchange or farmer s market, could activate the neighborhood and attract residents from within and outside the neighborhood. 6 Station
7 Pedestrian and bike connections Simply allowing residential uses will not create safe connections for pedestrians and bikers. Dedicated paths for bikers and walkers should be installed to provide circulation throughout the neighborhood. Additionally, clear connections to the downtown area and Comcast Arena would help tie the station area to the core of the city. Such connections would be enhanced by way-finding signs that assist people in navigating the neighborhood. Soft open spaces Participants expressed a clear need and desire to soften the station area by using trees, shrubs, and other green features. Pocket parks and small green spaces would provide respite from the hardscapes of the built environment and could also help buffer residential areas from the activity of the transit station. Business opportunities Allowing mixed-use development provides the opportunity for businesses to co-locate with residential use, allowing shops and restaurants to thrive. In addition to shops, restaurants, and markets, other businesses of appropriate scale would create job opportunities within the neighborhood. Having workplaces located near residential and transit access would help create a complete neighborhood. Photo by Jeff Aken Station 7
8 CONCLUSION At Forterra, we believe that creating dense, walkable and affordable communities near transit is one of the key strategies for ensuring our region s sustainability over time. Station has an outstanding opportunity for redevelopment and enhancement of neighborhood quality-of-life for s residents, employees, and commuters. Forterra staff were impressed by the level of engagement and energy among community members and encourages participants to stay involved as the City of hosts the public process for the Comprehensive Plan update. Forterra would like to thank the City of and Transit for their efforts making this project a success, Christian Runge from Mithun for an excellent presentation, and the Boeing Company for funding the work.
