OLD BUSINESS:

Chet Parsons highlighted the main features of the streetscape for Third Street as represented on a graphic image illustrating design progress to this point in the preliminary design phase. (See hard copy attachment to Minutes as printed).

Mr. Parsons emphasized several elements of the current design:

1.  Turn lane at Beechurst removed from streetscape by vote of Board at October 2016 meeting. AECOM aware of concern for bollard and other matters re: the right turn on to Beechurst; will address in future iterations.

2.  Features of the corridor that identify improvements to corridor agreed upon by Board in previous meetings:

·  40 ft. ROW from Beechurst to Grant Ave.

·  street trees (6 new) identified for east side of corridor

·  pedestrian lights between sidewalks and residential areas

·  existing utility poles & their location

·  six ft. sidewalks with utility poles remaining in place

·  curb cuts for ADA compliance crosshatched

·  Mr. Craig's driveway, missing in earlier graphic, now in place and identified for curb cut

·  pedestrian steps from Beverly for steepest descent, 22% slope, from Beverly to alleyway, but uncertain whether or not steps need to go down as far as alley itself

·  recommend adjusting stop bars on U. Ave. by ten feet southward to facilitate turning movement of vehicles coming up Third St. & right onto U. Ave. plus fence structure on right at U. Place as visual cue to curb in turn

  • Summation: current graphic constitutes the base map that AECOM will work from in future iterations of the streetscape.

EXECUTIVE SESSION:

Motion by Bill Kawecki, second by Ryan Hess to go into executive session.
