Public Workshop #2 September 14, 2016
Agenda Welcome Project Overview Where We Have Been Alternatives for State Street Land Use Street Design Next Steps 2
Project Overview Create a Vibrant State Street 3
Project Purpose REVITALIZE State Street between 12 th and 25 th streets into a vibrant, attractive, walkable mixed-use corridor by recommending coordinated land use and transportation improvements. 4
Study Area STATE STREET 5
Project Goals 1. Promote economic vitality and livability 2. Improve multimodal access and safety 3. Encourage feasible improvements 6
Timeline Analyze Existing and Future Conditions (Jan Feb) Identify Options (Mar July) Evaluate Options (August 2016 Jan 2017) Develop Recommendations (Feb June 2017) State Street Survey Public Workshop Public Workshop Public Workshop 7
Public Workshop #1: What We Heard Improve pedestrian safety Slow traffic Explore a road diet Add bike lanes or routes but not necessarily on State St. Make State St. a destination activate the street Encourage a mix of uses, including housing Manage parking 8
Where we are in the process Team created land use and street design alternatives for State Street Here today to get your feedback 9

State Street Alternatives Create a Vibrant State Street 11
Land Use Alternatives Create a Vibrant State Street 12
Two Mixed-Use Zones Higher Intensity Mixed Use (MU-1) Multi-story mixed-use (retail on ground floor) Commercial uses Taller buildings (4 stories) High density Pedestrian-oriented design standards Lower Intensity Mixed-Use (MU-2) Mixed-use and multifamily housing Commercial uses Shorter buildings (3 stories) Medium density Pedestrian-oriented design standards 13

West End Focus Concentrated area of more intense mixed-use development on the west end Single mixed-use zone Highest intensity 25 TH St 17 TH St 12 TH St 15
West End Focus 4-story building with apartments over retail on a corner site (MU-1) Lots of windows with no building setback from sidewalk (MU-1) 16
West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition Two concentrated mixed-use centers on the west end with less intense development to the south Two mixed-use zones Mixed intensity in nodal pattern 25 TH St 17 TH St 12 TH St 17
West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition Flexible ground floor space (MU-2) Retail with canopy along entrance and sidewalk and outdoor seating (MU-1) Stand-alone multiple dwelling residential building (MU-2) 18
West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition Three concentrated mixed-use centers on the west end, and a consistent level of lower-intensity development on the east end Two mixed-use zones Entire corridor 12 TH St 17 TH St 25 TH St 19
West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition Flexible ground floor space can house residential or office use (MU-2) Vertical and horizontal separation of residential unit with landscaping as soft buffer (MU-2) 20

Summary of Options Create a Vibrant State Street 44
The concepts that changed the land use pattern throughout the entire corridor meet the project goals the best. West End Focus West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition Entire Corridor Nodal Focus 45
Road diet supports all land use patterns. Hybrid supports West End Focus land use pattern nearly as well. Improved Four- Lane Similar to existing roadway Four travel lanes, no median Pedestrian enhancements Bike routes on Chemeketa and Mill streets Option: Signals at 19th & 21st streets Road Diet Two vehicle travel lanes Center median/left turn lane Option: Bicycle lanes between 13 th and 24 th Streets (parking removed from one side) Hybrid Road Diet west of 17 th Street Improved Four Lane east of 17 th Street 46
Based on what I have learned today, I prefer the recommended land use be based on: 1. West End Focus 2. West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition 3. West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition 4. Entire Corridor Nodal Focus 5. None of the alternatives 6.
