D Because of the road restriping, total collisions decreased by 40 percent, and injury rates de- creased by 71 percent. Slowing traffic and im- proving the pedestrian and bike experience improved property values and the performance of local businesses along the corridor. Streets have played a major role in the development of College Park, a neighborhood ad- jacent to downtown Orlando, Florida. The neigh- borhood's Princeton, Harvard, and Yale streets influenced the naming of the city's first subdivision and eventually the naming of the neighborhood. Beginning in 7999, local stakeholders gave College Park a new identity by transforming Edge- water Drive, its main street. The four -lane road was extremely unsafe; it carried more than 20,000 speeding motorists per day, and it experienced crashes nearly every three days and injuries every nine days. Because the road also contained limited space for sidewalks, bike lanes, and streetscape, the city of Orlando implemented a lane reduc- tion —or "road diet" —to regain space for pedes- trians and bicyclists. Since the project's implementation, Edgewater Drive has become a noticeably healthier and safer street. Traffic speeds and the number of crashes ERR! S ING "LaplEs 5t have been reduced, and both the volume and satis- fa6on of pedestrians and bicyclists have increased. The project emerged from a neighborhood improvement plan called the Neighborhood Hori- zon Plan and from anticipation surrounding the resurfacing of Edgewater Drive in 2001. Hoping to maximize the opportunity, the city in collabora- tion with neighborhood stakeholders —formulated a vision, set of goals, and plan for the redevelop- ment of a 1.5-mile stretch of Edgewater between Par Street and Lakeview Street. The goals emphasized the vision of the corridor as a vibrant, pedestrian -oriented commercial district with reduced incidents of speeding, im- proved bike and pedestrian infrastructure, and an enhanced streetscape. To achieve the goals, the city and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) negotiated plans for a road diet in con- junction with regularly scheduled maintenance. This approach required removing one vehicle lane 20 BUILDING HEALTHY CORRIDORS and reconfiguring the road through lane restrip- ing; these changes were funded by FDOT and required the state of Florida to transfer control of the street to the city After gaining control of Edgewater Drive, the city of Orlando initiated the project. Before committing to permanent improvements, the city implemented a temporary lane reduction, using tape to restripe the road, and then performed a before -and -after analysis that looked at crash and injury rates, vehicle speeds, traffic volumes, on - street parking, travel times, and bicyclist volumes. The analysis showed that those indicators were improved by the lane reduction, and the tape was replaced with permanent striping in December 2002. Ultimately, the city converted four lanes to three; the road now has one travel lane in each direction and a center, two-way turn lane. The city also added bike lanes in both directions and widened on -street parking. Because of this project, Co{lege Park's main street has become a thriving corridor. Safety greatly improved after the project: total collisions dropped by 40 percent, injury rates declined 71 percent, and traffic counts briefly dropped 12 per- cent before returning to original levels. Pedestrian counts increased by 23 percent, bicycling activity by 30 percent, and on -street parking —which buffers the sidewalks from automobile traffic —by 41 percent. In addition, the corridor has gained 77 new businesses and an additional 560 jobs since 2008. OPPOSITE: Edgewater Drive has become substantially safer; because of new designated bike lanes, cyclists are no longer forced to compete with vehicles. (Gus Castro) LEFT: The restriping of Edgewater Drive reduced automobile travel by one lane, added bike lanes, and widened on -street parking. (Gus Castro) BELOW TOP: Before, Edgewater Drive's four wide lanes limited the street's capacity for bike lanes and sidewalks, making the corri- dor unsafe for and unattractive to pedestrians and bicyclists. (Gus Castro) BOTTOM: After, the corridors road diet and emphasis on alter- nate modes of travel have calmed traffic, increased pedestrian activity, and greatly improved the neighborhood's streetscape. (Gus Castro) The value of property adjacent to Edgewater and within a half mile of the corridor rose 80 percent and 70 percent, respectively. Such positive results have gained national atten- tion and satisfied local stakeholders, who made no requests to restore Edgewater to a four -lane road when it was resurfaced in 2012. CHAPTER 2: REINVENTING CORRIDORS 21 Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results Prepared by City of Orlando - Transportation Planning Bureau 1111/02 INTRODUCTION Edgewater Drive is a north -south roadway that carries approximately 20,000 Average Daily Trips per day. The roadway serves as College Park's Main Street while accommodating some through traffic. The limit of this evaluation is from Par Street to Lakeview Street in College Park. Neighborhood Horizon Plan In 1999 over forty College Park neighborhood volunteers participated in workshops with the City of Orlando to formulate an official plan for the neighborhood. The plan is intended to be used as a "blueprint" for planning future neighborhood improvement projects. The plan is College Park's "Neighborhood Horizon Plan" which was approved by The College Park Neighborhood Association (CPNA) and accepted by the Orlando City Council in January 2000. The Horizon Plan COLLEGEPARK identified 74 major tasks, which the _ volunteers would like to see implemented to improve the neighborhood. Many of the 74 tasks t. = P related to Edgewater._" Drive. One of the tasks was to transfer jurisdiction and " maintenance of Edgewater Drive from Princeton St. to Par St. from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to the City of Orlando. The City already had jurisdiction of Edgewater Drive from Colonial Drive to Princeton Street. The transfer of jurisdiction to the City was viewed as important by the neighborhood because then the City could better implement improvement to the Edgewater Drive corridor as defined in the Neighborhood Horizon Plan without having to coordinate with FDOT. The Horizon Plan identified improvements such as new enhanced crosswalks with pavers at various points of crossing, underground utilities, and potential for new traffic lights, safer parking, bicycle lanes and wider sidewalks. The Horizon Plan Vision was to reinvent Edgewater Drive into a vibrant, pedestrian - friendly commercial district with cafes and shops. Re -Striping Project History The previous 4-lane configuration of Edgewater Drive did not provide sufficient room for wider sidewalks, bicycle lanes, streetscape and other Horizon Plan tasks. The Horizon Plan identified that the only way to eventually have wider more walkable sidewalks and a more pedestrian friendly commercial district was to eliminate one vehicle lane. The FDOT had budgeted for Edgewater Drive to be resurfaced in 2001/02. CPNA formally requested the City pursue looking at re -striping of Edgewater Drive from 4-lanes to 3 while it was being resurfaced. This change would immediately allow for wider parallel parking and bike lanes along Edgewater Drive. The concept had been successfully implemented in other cities with positive results including less speeding, reduced crash rates and increased bicycle and pedestrian activity. City Staff examined the possibility of re -striping to three lanes and presented the results at two advertised public meetings on April 11 and June 20 of 2001 with a combined attendance of over 100 people. The public meetings encouraged community input and neighbors brought issues for the City to study further, but overall the consensus at the meetings was that the public liked the 3-lane concept. As a result of the public meetings, the City agreed to examine several Measures of Effectiveness in the Before & After Conditions. They are the basis for much of the Before and After Evaluation. CITY OP ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results BEFORE & .AFTER EVALUATION A series of Before and After Evaluations were conducted in order to assess the project's impact. Evaluations were completed in addition to the Measures of Effectiveness that were established at the beginning of the study. A summary of the Before and After Evaluations and Results is as follows: Crash & Injury Data In order to assess the project's impact on safety, crash and injury rates were calculated for the overall corridor. Crash reports for the last three complete years of 1999 through 2001 were reviewed and average crash and injury rates and frequencies were calculated. The after evaluation consisted of reviewing the available four complete months of crash data in order to determine the crash and injury rates and frequencies. The Crash and Injury rates were calculated based on the number of million vehicle miles of travel on the corridor. A summary showing the significant reduction in crashes and injuries is shown in the following Tables.

All traffic counts were collected during typical Fall weekdays (excluding Monday & Friday). The locations represent the northern end, middle section and the southern end speeds. The percentage of vehicles traveling at excessive speeds (Over 36 MPH) showed a reduction in all three segments. However, the northern and southern segments show the greatest reductions.

A study by the United Kingdom Department of Transportation showed that a pedestrian has an 85% chance of survival if struck by a vehicle traveling at 20 MPH. The study also showed that the chance of pedestrian survival drops to 15% when the vehicle is traveling at 40 MPH. CITY OF ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results 2 Edgewater Drive Traffic Volumes Machine Traffic Counts measuring the volume of traffic on Edgewater Drive was conducted at eleven locations. Nine of the locations are between Lakeview St. and Par St. A summary of the Daily Traffic Volumes at the locations is shown in the following Table. The After Daily Traffic Counts showed an average reduction of 12% in the study area between Par St. and Lakeview St. Edgewater Drive - Daily Traffic Volume Comparison Location Before After Change % Change Edgewater Dr Nlof Par St 27,684 25,126 -2,558 -9% Edgewater Dr Nlof Preston St 21,034 21,326 292 1 % Edgewater Dr Slof Preston St 23,440 20,836 -2,604 -11 % Edgewater Dr Nlof Clayton St 19,342 15,890 -3,452 -18% Edgewater Dr Nbf Winter Park St 22,488 19,651 -2,837 -13% Edgewater Dr Nlof Smith St 22,761 20,515 -2,246 -10% Edgewater Dr Slof Stetson St 18,681 15,997 -2,684 -14% Edgewater Dr Slof Shady Lane Dr 18,811 15,898 -2,913 -15% Edgewater Dr Slof Oak St 18,384 16,135 -2,249 -12% Edgewater Dr Nlof Lake Adair By 19,566 16,930 -2,636 -13% Average (Par St. to Lakeview St) 20,501 18,131 -2,370 -12% Edgewater Dr Slof Lakeview St 8,1191 7,156 -963 -12% Parallel & Sidestreet Traffic Volumes Machine Traffic Counts measuring the volume of traffic on neighborhood streets that are both parallel and sidestreets to Edgewater Drive were conducted. The list of streets that were counted is based on requests received from the Public during the Public Involvement Process. Overall there was a four percent reduction on neighborhood streets. This is likely the result of fewer vehicles using the area as a cut -through and additional traffic calming measures being implemented in the neighborhood. The only streets that showed a noticeable increase are Westmoreland Drive near Princeton/Smith and Bryn Mawr Street near Reading Drive. A summary of the Daily Traffic Volumes at the locations is shown in a Table on the following page.

CITY OF ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results 4 Parking Utilization Parking Use Counts were completed for On -Street Parking as well as Front & Rear Site -Related parking along the corridor. The counts were completed in the before and after conditions during am, mid -day and pm periods. The after Front & Rear Site -Related parking counts were generally consistent with the before parking use counts. The average parking utilization percentage for Front & Rear Site -Related showed an increase from 38% to 43%. The inventory of On -Street Parking changed from the before condition to the after condition because some spaces were eliminated based on a site distance evaluation that was completed as a part of the engineering plans for the resurfacing. The change in inventory of the spaces was not related to the reconfiguration from 4 lanes to 3. The inventory would have changed regardless of the cross-section. However it is important to note that the 3-lane cross section does provide additional site distance for sidestreet vehicles over the four lane section because through vehicles have been shifted five feet from the parked vehicles. The results of the Before and After On -Street Parking Utilization in the areas where the roadway was converted to three lanes showed a significant increase from a 29% utilization to 41 % utilization. Much of the increase is likely due to the increased comfort level for getting into and out of parked vehicles along the roadway. py 45% 40% u 35% a 30% 0 25% N 20% i s% 7 Gl 10% C 2 5% L LL OLIO On -Street Parking Utilization - Three Lane Sections of Edgewater Dr Before After Pedestrian & Bicycle Volumes In order to help assess the project's impact on bicycle and pedestrian activity, Before and After Pedestrian and Bicycle Counts were conducted at eighteen locations along the corridor for the seven highest hours of the day.

The following Tables summarize the totals of the counts for all eighteen locations along the corridor.

CITY OF ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results 5 Corridor Travel Times Travel, Time and Delay Studies were performed for Edgewater Drive in the Fall of 2001 and 2002 as a part of the Regional Computer Signal Systems (RCCS) Project. Travel Time & Delay Studies were performed during the am (7-9) and pm (4-6) peak periods for both the Before (2001) and After (2002) Conditions. The studies are completed by linking a JAMAR TDC-8 Traffic Data Board to the axle of a vehicle traveling the study corridor a minimum of ten times each direction during the peak period. The Traffic Data Board then records the measured delay, travel times, and average speed of vehicles on the corridor including stops and delay. The length of the Corridor Studied for the RCCS Project was from Dartmouth Street to Maury Road. This represents the area where there are traffic signals in a greater density. The results of the Travel Times in the Before and After conditions is summarized in the following Table. Average Peak Period Travel Time (Minutes) Edgewater Dr - Dartmouth St. to Maury Rd. AM 7:00 - 9:00 PM 4:00 - 6:00 Direction Before After Before I After Northbound Southbound The am peak period only showed the average travel time increase by approximately 50 seconds from 3 minutes and 20 seconds to 4 minutes and 10 seconds. The pm peak period travel time showed a slight increase in the northbound direction by approximately 10 seconds, while the southbound direction showed a decrease in the travel time by 10 seconds. Transit Use and Impacts on Operations Field measurement was conducted to estimate average delay attributable to LYNX boardings in the corridor. Service levels (60 minute headway), routes, and equipment remain unchanged from the "before" field measurement. The average bus loading delay of 30 seconds at Lynx bus stops remains accurate. There are 13 stops northbound and 14 stops southbound between Par Street and Lakeview Street, or approximately every two blocks. All travel time delay studies reflect scheduled transit service. Based on these findings the College Park Neighborhood benefits from scheduled transit service, with minimal loading delays, available at short walking distances from all businesses in the Edgewater Drive Study Area. City staff will work with LYNX to re-evaluate bus stop locations, especially those located immediately beyond intersections that may affect intersection traffic operations, prior to any future modifications to re -striping. Property Values Residential and commercial property values for 2001 and 2002 were compared at the request of the public to determine relative change in comparison with Orange County, Florida. The residential analysis compared approximately 4,600 residential properties and 110 commercial properties within the boundaries of the College Park Neighborhood. Property values in both the College Park Neighborhood area and Orange County reflected annual growth at a rate of 8 - 10% for residential properties and 1 - 2% for commercial properties. Given the consistency with Orange County and a positive change to property values, College Park properties appear to be increasing in value in response to broad market conditions. CITY OF ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results 6 COMMUNITY IMPACT ASSESSMENT Survey Results and Comments Resident and merchant feedback was an important part of the project, with hundreds of responses in both the before and after feedback surveys: Number of Surveys Received While scientifically structured random samples are used to draw conclusions, the written feedback survey forms helped in the evaluation of the way residents and merchants felt before and after the project. The 2001 Public Workshop focus groups identified nine key Measures of Effectiveness. Six measures were addressed by data collection and analysis and the remaining three satisfaction measures were addressed through resident and merchant feedback forms, which included 8 feedback statements each. Two of the satisfaction measures, pedestrian comfort and parking comfort were taken from the resident feedback survey, and increases reflected the conclusions reached through data collection. One satisfaction area, pedestrian comfort as perceived by merchants, was marginally inconsistent with resident responses and data collected through the parking supply and utilization study. Measures of Effectiveness A result of the Before Public Involvement Effort was establishing a set of measures the Public wanted used as a part of determining the success of the re - striping project. There was a positive result for each of the measures except the merchant survey measure for pedestrian comfort. A summary of the measures and the result is included in the following Table. Measure Effectiveness Did the Re -Striping of Accomplish Objective? Avoid Increasing Traffic On Neighborhood Streets YES Reduce Speeding on Edgewater Dr YES Increase Bicyclist Volumes YES Increase Pedestrian Volumes YES Reduce Crashes YES Increase On -Street Parking Use Rates YES Increase Pedestrian Satisfaction (Residents) YES Increase Pedestrian Satisfaction (Merchants) NO Increase Parking Satisfaction (Residents) YES CITY OF ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results KEY ISSUES & SOLUTIONS Village Center Transitions The roadway currently transitions from a 3-lane section to a 4-lane section and then back to a 3-lane section in the Village Center area of Edgewater Drive between Yale St. and Winter Park St. The current configuration was proposed in an effort to test the 3 lanes in parts of the corridor while trying to minimize the potential for traffic diversion and greater delays along the corridor. However, many of the comments received are concerning the current lane configuration in the Village Center. The main comments concerning the striping in the Village Center Area are as follows: • The merging at Yale St and Winter Park St are uncomfortable and unexpected. • The signage of where the lanes change or end is too small. • The bike lane does not carry through the Village Center. NS Merging Area Approaching Winter Park St The proposed solution that will address these comments is to extend the three -lane section into the Village Center except between Princeton and Smith Streets. This will result in eliminating merging or confusion about which is the proper lane to be in for through traffic. The need for the currently small signage indicating where lanes end will no longer be necessary. It will also extend the bike lane into the Village Center. However, there will still be a two hundred foot gap in the bike lane between Princeton and Smith Streets. Edgewater Drive between Princeton and Smith Streets needs to have one through lane in each direction and one exclusive left turn only lane. The left turn only lanes for each direction is necessary to accommodate the queue of northbound and southbound traffic desiring to turn left at these intersections. Par St to Preston St Merge Several comments have been received concerning the transition for southbound traffic to three lanes in the Par St/Preston St area. The comments center on not enough advance notification concerning the right lane becoming a right turn only lane at the Edgewater High School Entrance. Potential solutions for this problem have been identified and are still being refined. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) maintains jurisdiction north of Par Street. Many of the potential solutions involve additional signage or striping changes in that part of the roadway. Therefore, a preferred modification to address this issue has not been determined. Small Signage on SB Approach to Preston St CITY OF ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & After Re -Striping Results 8 RECOMMENDATIONS AND NEXT STEPS The City of Orlando realizes the important stature streets hold in the life of a city or community and is helping College Park towards achievement of the community vision through this project. The corridor analysis advocated by the Neighborhood Horizons Plan looked at redesign opportunities to create a pedestrian and bicycle friendly community -oriented commercial corridor in a safe, quiet neighborhood. The "Before and After" results document the public safety improvements implemented in 2002 as a test project, and recommends short-term and long-term improvements to implement the Horizon Plan Vision: • Extend the three lanes into the Village Center (except between Princeton & Smith) • Modifications heading southbound at Par St. & Preston St. • Seek Grants & Funding Sources to Continue Implementing the Edgewater Drive Vision The first of these recommendations can be implemented during the first half of 2003 by extending the three lanes into the Village Center (Except between Princeton & Smith) by removing temporary roadway tape and re -striping the roadway, bicycle lanes and parking areas to a 3-lane section in the Village Center of Edgewater Drive. Solutions for the Par Street to the Edgewater High School area should be developed through a collaborative process that includes Orange County Public Schools, major property owners in that area, and FDOT (as it relates to signing & pavement marking changes needed north of Par Street). Three alternatives for the area from north of Par Street to the Edgewater High School are in development. The next steps proposed for this project include receiving feedback on the Before & After Studies from the Neighborhood and Merchants Associations in November and December, then the development of plans in January 2003 to implement additional re - striping changes. Actual implementation of re - striping changes & re -timing of traffic signals will be implemented as soon as possible during the period January - June 2003. These recommendations will allow the City and the Neighborhood and Merchants Associations to continue seeking ways to implement the long-term vision of the Neighborhood Horizons Plan by seeking grants and other funding sources to continue implementing the Edgewater Drive Vision. CITY OF ORLANDO - Edgewater Drive Before & Aftcr Re -Striping Resu]tS 9 A Service of Kansas University Transportation Center for Road, Street & Bridge Agencies Smarter, Safer Roadways: Road Diets for Rural Communities By Ivlchrdad Givechi, NIS, PE, PTOE Abuzz word among transportation professionals today is "diet," specifically the "road diet." It has become an increasingly popular strategy to increase multi -modal road use and improve safety in urban areas, and it is starting to get some traction in sinall and rural communities. This article addresses pros and cons of road diet projects, feasibility, and community benefits to give local governments the necessary information to determine if road diets, or the underlying concepts, have a place in their communities. What is a Road Diet? Roadways without medians or other separation Between opposing lanes of traffic often experience a relatively high number of crashes, especially between lush -speed through -traffic, left -turning vehicles, and other road users. One safety countermeasure is the road diet, which typically involves removing or narroN-Ong vehicle lanes and utilizing the space for other uses, such as a two-way left turn lane, bike lanes, or parking.' Figure I shoves the addition of a center tNvo way left - turn lane and wider shoulders. Fact or Myth: Road Diets Make Traffic Worse There is a common misconception that reducing the number of through -lanes on a multi -lane roadway (as when implementing a road diet) will cause congestion. This is not true when road diets are utilized strategically in the proper location and with the correct application.3 To determine if a road diet makes sense for a specific area, consider the following: ■ Is the four -lane roachtvay already operating like a three- lane road (i.e. heavy left -turn movements)? ■ Are the traffic volumes sufficiently low, for a road diet to be implemented successfully, without lowering the Level of-Ser-,ice (LOS), or ability to move traffic? Before After FswA ■ ■ ■ Figure 1. This road was reconfigured from four through -traffic lanes to two through -traffic lanes with a center two-way left - turn lane and wider shoulders.' (Specific traffic volume thresholds are detailed in the next section.) r Do controlled intersections along the road determine the effective capacity of the roadway (e.g. signalized intersections or stop signs)? ■ Can a road diet help overall LOS? LOS measurements should account for all road users, not just motorists (e.g. bicyclists and pedestrians). Trading off a little vehicular capacity to benefit other road users may be worth it in terms of safety and connectivity. When is a Road Diet Appropriate? Several transportation agencies, along with the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), have developed traffic volume guidelines for assessing road diet Friability and minimizing traffic disruption. Traffic volume thresholds for a 4-lane undivided roadway are: Kansas LTAP Fact Sheet Page 1 ■ Less than 10,000 ADT (Average Daily Traffic): Great candidate inmost cases; capacity will most likely not be affected. ■ 10,000—15,000 ADT: Good candidate in many cases. Conduct intersection analysis and consider signal retuning to deternihie any effect on capacity. ■ 15,000 — 20,000 ADT: Good candidate in some cases. Conduct a corridor analysis. Capacity may be affected depending on the "before" condition. it Greater than 20,000 ADT: Complete a feasibility study to determine whether this is a good candidate. There are some examples nationwide that road diets have been successful with ADTs as high as 26,000. Capacity may be affected.' Oilier types of data that may be useful in a road diet feasibility study include: lane widths, speed limits, crash data, land use, number of access points, and road surface type. Factors to Consider LOS is one measure of road diet suitability, but the overall considerations, as with any road project, are safety, cost efficiency, and quality of life. Safety — Road diets can make the roadway environment safer for all users by reducing the number of conflict prints, potentially reducing crash frequency.

The section of Carpenter Road Dupont and Saginaw was recently converted to a three -lane road, and it good to convert the rest of the corridor. 2ucdit-y of Life — Road diets make wide streets more livable and easier to cross when on foot, providing a complete street environment. Safety Benefits of Road Diets One of the most important benefits of a road diet is improved safety for all road users. There are safety advantages to a 4- to 3 lane road reconfiguration., as seen in Figure 2. The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) reported crash reduction rates of 19 to 47 percent in a study of 4-to-3 lane reconfigurations with a center two-way left -turn lane.' The NCHRP study also reported fewer rear -end and left -turn crashes by using the nvo-way left -turn lane and fewer right-angle crashes with side street motorists, as they only need to cross three lanes of traffic .instead of four. A reconfigured road also simplifies road scanning and gap selection for motorists making left -turns from side streets onto the mainline. One effect of a road diet can be slower traffic, which can be both an asset and a disadvantage, as seen in the pro -con list in Figure 3. `'With only one through -lane each way, traffic tends to slow clown. The reduced speed s differential means fewer and less severe crashes. Road dieting can also provide opportunities to install bike l.atres within the existing cross section and allocate "leftover' roadway width for on -street parking, transit stops, or other functions. Road Diets in Small and Rural Communities There are no comprehensive studies of the effectiveness of road diets in rural or small communities compared to urban ones. Jack Messer, director of planning and development .for the City of Overland Park, Kansas said it is difficult to generalize road diets as particularly good or bad for smaller communities. "It's important to understand the context of the environment and the specific issue to be resolved," he said. Messer went on to explain the various reasons for considering a road diet, including: addressing a he range perceived or real speeding issue, it wawa between providing space within the right -of - would be way for other uses, designing roads that take pedestrians and bicyclists Genesee County MPC into consideration, enhancing road aesthetics, and developing parking. "As you can see, any or all of these things are potentially relevant discussion points and would apply regardless of the size of cities;" Messer said.' With the growing popularity ofroad diets, several studies have been conducted to further examine their effectiveness in general. A study in Michigan assessed crash data to pinpoint roads that would benefit from a road diet. Rural communities like Storm Lake, Iowa have also had ;ood experiences with road dieting. Genesee County, Michigan After the Michigan state legislature passed a measure to encourage the development of Complete Streets in 2010, the Michigan Department of Transportation adopted a statewide policy and many municipalities followed suit. The Genessee County Planning Commission published a technical report exploring the use of road diets to achieve Complete Street goals. According to the report, all types of crashes have declined on roads that were narrowed in recent years. Average annual reductions after conversions from four to three lanes were 31.8 percent for head -on crashes, 35.3 percent for rear -end crashes, and 32.8 percent for same - Kansas LTAP Fact Sheet Page 3 Road Diet Options There are many options for using the space made available by removing lanes of through -traffic with a road diet - Popular uses for the space include: center two-way left -turn lane, street parking, bike lanes, and wider paved shoulders. Below are diagrams showing hots space can be allocated in road diets.1' 4-to-3 lane conversion with center two-way left turn lane, bike lanes, and street parking 4-to-3 lane conversion with center two-way left -turn lane, one designated bike lane (left) and one sharrow (shared lane marking, right), and street parking on both sides side, side -swipe crashes." County planners have been suggesting several existing four -lane roads as candidates for road diets because they currently carry less traffic than they were i.nitiatIly designed to handle. Some roads, like King Boulevard from Fifth Avenue to Welch Botdcvard in Flint, NIL have already been narrowed, with wider shoulders of parking added with the extra right-of-way space." Storm Lake and Muscatine, Iowa Two cities in ] oxva have also had positive experiences with the conversion of four -lane undivided roadways to a three -lane cross section. In 1996, the city of Storm Lake, Iowa converted a portion of Flindr Drive. This 4-to-3 lane conversion with center two-way left -turn lane and bike lanes 4-to-2 lane conversion with median and buffered bike lanes All Images; FH%VA roadway was 40 feet wide and had an ADT of 8,500 VPD (Vehicles Per Day)." No formal before -and -after analysis has been done, but there was a generally positive public response to the conversion. City officials are also pleased v,rith the traffic flow and increased safety on the roadway. The city of Muscatine, Iowa had a similar experience with the conversion of Clay Street. City engineer Ray Childs reported a large reduction in accidents due to the conversion. In general, the Iowa Department of Transportation has started encouraging the conversion of four -lane undivided roadways to three lane cross sections where safety is an issue'14 Page 4 Kansas LTAP Fact Sheet r FHWA ■ ■ ■ Before and after photographs of road diet of Edgewater Drive in Orlando, Florida. While this is an urban area, commercial districts in rural areas have a similar look and a similar need far parking. Street parking was retained in this reconfigured road. rs Conclusion Road dieting, or road reconstruction, is one of the nine proven safety countermeasures recommended by the Federal Highway Administration under the "intersection and corridor" focus area. It is also an FHWA Every Day Counts initiative. A number of communities are coming ortboard to ttse this concept as a tool to create complete streets that are friendly and safe to all road users, including pedestrians and bicyclists. Although the concept is not yet widely used in small and rural communities, it can be viable as an effective low-cost safety countermeasure in areas where conditions are suitable.

Kansas LTAP Fact Sheet Page 5 PLANNING FORTHE FUTURE MONTANA Building on the great work and momentum from "The Core Area Plan," the City of Kalispell is embarking on a planning effort focused on energizing and reinforcing historic Downtown Kalispell's role as the heart of the community. This newsletter explains the goals of this planning effort, its schedule, and what you can expect in the coming months. Please, read on... Goals of "THE Downtown Plan" Planr THE Downtown Plan KICk—O!i Summer 2014 1. Develop a comprehensive inventory of the neighborhood. This entails answering a lot of questions, such as: How many businesses, employees, and residents call Downtown Kalispell home? How many buildings are there? How many of them are vacant? What kind of condition are they in? How many parking spaces are there? Are they in the right places? What do they cost? Where are the water, sewer, power, natural gas, and communication lines located? Are they in the right place? 2. Identify the benefits and reasons to own property, operate a business, or live in the downtown. As a property owner, business person, or resident, you have many choices about where you can be located. What drew you to Downtown Kalispell? How long have you been here? What's keeping you here? 3. Identify and clarify the problems or issues with the Downtown. Until we know what the problems are, where they came from, and how different people see them, developing effective, long term solutions will be out of reach. 4. Categorize and prioritize the challenges facing businesses and residents. Once we have a good handle on what the issues are and how they affect the life and vitality of Downtown Kalispell, they will be ranked in order of importance. 5. Develop and implement solutions to these shared challenges in a thoughtful and efficient way. THE Downtown Plan Summer 20 74 The first step in this process is to meet with each and every property owner, shopkeeper, and resident in the downtown and courthouse corridor. The meetings will continue through the summer and into the fall. If you are receiving this notice and you own property, run a business, or live within the study area, you will be contacted in the coming days and weeks to schedule a convenient time to meet and discuss your thoughts and ideas. A map showing the study area is included on the next page.

In June, city staff began interviewing business owners, property owners, and tenants in and around historic downtown Kalispell. To date, about 25% of the property and business owners have been contacted and provided some input on the downtown. That's good, but we have a ways to go. As was said in the last newsletter, the city is using the following steps to g 1. Comprehensive inventory of the neighborhood.

In this newsletter we will provide some timely updates on our downtown interviews, provide insight into the progress on improvements to the Courthouse Couplet and close with a status report on the bypass. Summer 20 7 5 Update As was said in the last newsletter, the city is using the following steps to guide THE Downtown Plan: 1. Comprehensive inventory of the neighborhood. We have completed a current count and mapping of parking both on -street and in parking lots. We have also finished a land -use survey of the plan area that identifies residential, commercial retail, office, public ownership and parking areas to better understand how our downtown space is being used. In addition, we are identifying basement and second floor use patterns in downtown Kalispell. We have also completed an interesting study using taxable values per square foot of downtown properties and comparing these to other properties in the city. 2. Clarify the issues facing businesses and residents. By establishing a more comprehensive picture of downtown Kalispell, its most pressing issues can be identified, evaluated, and tackled. Two of the fundamental issues arising from our interviews are traffic (too many trucks, too fast, too noisy and too dusty) and parking (not enough or perception that there is not enough.) There is also much interest in the future of the courthouse couplet and its affects on Main Street. Additionally, there have been several comments regarding downtown's vacant buildings, many of which are not updated and ready for service. 3. Develop thoughtful, efficient, and innovative solutions. Ultimately, a vibrant and vital downtown is a cooperative effort between the city, its residents, and its business community. Anyone with ideas is invited to provide input as we move forward. AN L Today, by the number, there are 228 land parcels, 163 property owners and 332 r,separate business/tenants in the 24 square block study area. Our goal is to interview as man as possible. So far we have talked with 90 businesses and property owners � Y p p p Y (27%) and feedback continues to be positive. If you have not been contacted yet, your patience is appreciated.

THE Downtown Plan Summer 20 7 5 Update The Courthouse Couplet As previously mentioned, the Montana Department of Transportation (MDT) is interested in making "improvements" to the couplet (the pair of roads that encircle the courthouse). This simple project is actually very complex. Many people have asked why any improvements need to be made at all. A little history is important. In 1991 (yes that far back), MDT began a project to provide an improved highway corridor from Somers to Whitefish. The final design gave rise to the four lane highway design we see today as well as the agreement to build a highway bypass around Kalispell (more on that topic below). However, a short stretch of roadway, the five blocks along South Main between 8th and 13th streets, was never completed. MDT had originally planned for this section to be 4-lane (2 north and 2 south bound around the courthouse). The original goal was to accommodate heavy truck traffic and a larger volume of traffic around the courthouse and through Main Street. The early designs also showed a straightening of the roadway as it went around the courthouse. This plan involved acquisition of some of the immediately adjacent properties for addition- al right of way. These designs all had complications and with a lack of funding the project has languished. Fast forward to today, MDT has hired the engineering firm of RPA to begin the process anew. Pam Carbonari and the Kalispell Downtown Association graciously coordinated a meeting with Ed Toays, Missoula MDT District Administrator, in February for an update on the couplet plan. Toays explained that the engineers would be gathering data through the fall of 2015 and will report back in late 2015. He also assured the group that MDT would be engaging the community in a very open process to plan for the future of the couplet design and hopefully our downtown. Stay tuned on this one... Bypass Status Good News! The remaining portion of the Highway 93 Westside Bypass has been designed and is ready for bidding and construction. The design, pegged at $35 million, will include expanding 4-lane travel from the Foys Lake roundabout north to Reserve Loop --Glacier High School and include full interchanges at Glacier High -Reserve Loop, at Four Mile, (Three Mile is already built), and at US Highway 2. Two Mile will go over the top of the bypass but have no access. Unfortunately, timing has slipped a little as funding limitation at the federal level have delayed this project several months. However, as this newsletter goes out, the Bypass is out to bid. MDT is anticipating a contract award in late September and construction could begin in October 2015, with the goal to have traffic on the fully completed bypass in late 2016 or early 2017. Development Activity The Toggery has opened it's doors, Trek and Rene Stephens have restored the old Gamble's Store at 327 South Main, including adding a new fagade and extending a water main from main street to allow sprinkling of the entire building. Next door, Alpine Lighting, is beginning fagade work including a new awning and the new 406 Grille has set up Kalispell's first parklet on 1st Avenue West. Stay tuned for more updates.

I (� KALISPELL SENIOR CENTER HEALTH, SAFETY & CONVENIENCE ISSUES • Grade on both access ramps too steep to allow for easy access. Not ADA compliant (grandfathered in). • No way to add a stair lift system without major modification, which would require the building to meet present day ADA requirements, Elevator system is cost prohibitive. • Downstairs bathroom not wheelchair or walker accessible. • Upstairs bathroom is larger, but still not wheelchair accessible and cannot be accessed without using a single step from the outside or multiple steps inside. • Access to midlevel bathroom using ramps requires going outside and re- entering through the main front double door using the single step up, which can be dangerous during winter weather, • Limited parking for seniors, requiring on street parking, most of which is in a 2 hour parking zone. We could get a discounted parking rate in a nearby by permit only parking, but it's too far to walk for most seniors. • Since July 2010 to present, we've had the following out of the ordinary expenses: 0 07/2010 Roof Repair $100 0 09/2010 Parking Lot Patch 75 0 11/2010 Clogged Sewer Line 375 0 12/2010 Furnace Repair 59 0 02/2011 Furnace Repair 98 a 10/2011 Clogged Sewer Line 520 0 11/2011 Install Electrical line 318 0 02/2012 Replace Door Lock 101 0 03/2012 Clogged Sewer 320 a 06/2012 Sewer Repair 598 0 11/2012 Water Heater 1125 0 01/2013 Wood Floor Refinish 2800 a 07/2013 Troubleshoot AC 159 0 08/2013 Replace Light Fixture 101 0 08/2013 Replace AC Compressor 2688 We have either a refrigerator or freezer leaking water now. We also have a water leak on the west side of the senior center. The rental house front entry way is slowly sinking. We have had one major foundation crack repaired. The outside of the house needs painting, but don't want to use volunteers because it was last painted with lead paint. Bids to do this job back in 2012 ranged from $3200 - $3750. To paint the senior center would add an additional $6290 according to a 2012 bid. • Using volunteers with donations from membership and using left over paint, the board hopes to finish repairs to the house soon, and will be able to rent it out again. • Annual operational costs of the senior center are approaching $40,000 although we have budgeted just over $38,000 for our fiscal year ending 6/1/2014. The Kalispell Center Mall has no space for a giftwrapping fundraiser this year, and the swing dance group pulled out of our center, both of which we were counting on to meet budget objectives. • With the rental house being vacant, we are having to pickup utility and maintenance costs on the house, which was not included in the budget. • Items adding to the maintenance costs are carpet and mat cleaning, sand & ice melt during winter months, 1st aid training for staff including for the defibrillator, fire extinguisher & furnace service, paint for such things as blacktop parking spaces & interior touchup along with kitchen and building supplies. • The building we operate in will be 100 years old in 2015. Some of the stucco around the front of the main building is deteriorating and should be evaluated. • The building needs major work on the outside to compliment the neighborhood. • There is concern about mold, asbestos, and lead paint issues which have never been evaluated by a qualified environmental inspector, which could be affecting the health of seniors using the facility and those who rent the two rental units. This is a liability issue to the county and our association. Senior Center Programing Concerns: • We are at capacity in our three exercise classes, causing the center to add two additional exercise classes. • We don't have any room for expansion with limited parking and inside space issues. • Our membership continues to grow with many new folks joining mainly for the exercise program. • We can get folks with mobility disabilities to the center, but access is limited to those who either have a caregiver who can get them down & up the ramps, and into the tight restroom space. Many who could benefit by our programs are unable to use the facility. • Budget issues force us to operate with limited hours without a senior center director. We have 3 part time employees being paid at and just above minimum wage.

Q: Can you provide some further background on each of the sites (building ages, sizes & # of elderly served per site?). Are there existing drawings of the current buildings? Can the County provide addresses for the existing buildings to be included in the PAR? A: Additional information is currently being collected for each site and will be provided to the firm selected to complete the PAR.

Q: What are some of the specific hot buttons the county faces outside the general questions we are answering in the RFP? A: The Senior Center buildings are rented from Flathead County by the community senior organizations in Bigfork, Whitefish, Columbia Falls and Kalispell for an annual fee of $1 per year. The Senior organization is then responsible for raising funds to cover all program activities, building upkeep and maintenance. This has created a hardship for several of the centers when significant and costly site improvements have been needed. The Kalispell Senior Center, in particular, is in need of significant upgrades. The Kalispell Center will require the most intensive evaluation in the PAR development process. Cost of upgrades will be evaluated at the current site, as well as potential alternatives for a new site. RFP: Senior Center(s) RFP Addendum 1 Page 5 Question Number Questions & Answers for Senior Center(s) RFP 10. Q: What are the long term goals of the Flathead County with this PAR? A: Flathead County is interested in obtaining a non -biased, professional evaluation of the Senior Center sites in Bigfork, Columbia Falls, Kalispell and Whitefish.

Q: Aside from grants, what other sources does the county have for the actual building corrections that are identified in the PAR? A: Senior Centers will identify funding options for high priority needs. It is anticipated that Flathead County will submit a CDBG Public Facilities grant in the future to help offset costs related to building needs. 12. Q: How did this project originate? How did Flathead County get involved in the project? A: Flathead County Commissioners asked the City of Kalispell to host a CDBG Planning grant to evaluate the county owned Senior Centers, with the greatest emphasis on the Kalispell Senior Center site.

RFP: Senior Center(s) RFP Addendum 1 Paae 7 Question Number Questions & Answers for Senior Center(s) RFP 19. Q: Is there room to negotiate or re -organize work to accommodate a larger fee or focusing the PAR on Kalispell alone? A: No. It is the interest of Flathead County to have all four sites evaluated, however, it is anticipated that the Kalispell site will require more intensive evaluation than the other three sites. 20.

We believe it will create the quality of life and the "sense of place" we all desire. At Citizens, we support human -scale streetscapes for the safe and convenient use and enjoyment of residents, businesses, and visitors. We support the success and prosperity of local businesses We support the increased demand on urban cores thereby decreasing pressure on outer sprawl. By doing so, we preserve and protect our valley's historic and cultural heritage, our natural heritage, and our agricultural heritage. We support more choices for transportation, to see walkability and bicycle -use further encouraged and supported. As we see these goals achievable through The Plan, the successful restoration of "Main Street, Kalispell" hinges on the ability to effectively and successfully redirect the anticipated increase in highway traffic volume away from the downtown core and reengineer the corridor. We at Citizens support that effort. Citizens believes The Plan will also reinvigorate neighborhoods surrounding the downtown planning zone. But we are concerned that increased property taxes and rents may displace local business owners, home owners and renters, seniors and young alike. We don't want to see a climate of added pressures of affordability pricing out those who live, work, and play downtown. We are concerned by the possible increase in liquor/gaming licenses in the corridor, which may conflict with the "sense of place" the downtown redevelopment looks to achieve. As this board and the council has addressed the proliferation of gaming activity, we agree with The Plan (on page 28) and encourage the city to look closely at new state laws that would allow an increase in restaurant -directed liquor licenses to help foster an entertainment culture within the planning zone. Public art shouldn't be public art for its own sake — "Let's put a piece of public art there." Public art works when it's reflective of the natural creativity and vibrancy of an area. And it works better when policy is in place to design, implement, and maintain such a program — perhaps through an arts or culture commission inclusive of community members.

The Kalispell Chamber strongly backs a vibrant and economically healthy downtown. Kalispell is the BOARD OF DIRECTORS center of the Flathead Valley's most iconic places like Flathead Lake, Glacier National Park, and Jason Cronl` destination ski resorts. It is the center of commerce, health care, education, and government. Dawn Hendrickson Mark Hensley And, downtown is the center of Kalispell. Doug Houtz Marl, Johnson Butch Laracombe The Downtown Plan does a good job of laying out a vision for Main Street Mike Nye improvements and character, the couplet, parking, financial tools, potential for city lots, and Brian Pelc Maria Phelps more. In the long term, this vision will serve Kalispell well. In the near term, the downtown faces Tom Ray challenges that are fundamentally different than those facing commercial development at the Mike Smith Courtenay Sprunger northern end of town and should not be underestimated. Laura Taylor Kary Tonjum Tagen Vine Attracting private investment downtown is substantially different and more Rick Weaver challenging than in undeveloped areas of the city or in unincorporated areas of the county: Jim Wright • Site assembly— it is more difficult to assemble sites to attract major investment. • EX gFFlClq DIRECTORS Small sites —owners of smaller sites can sometimes struggle with financing, marketing, Jesse Davis design, and development expertise. Mark Flatau • t.iquor license —the report documents the challenges of expanding a Jane Karas Mike Pence dining/entertainment district given the state of liquor license in Montana. Doug Russell Marketing is disbursed — since there are dozens of sites with dozens of owners the marketing effort is disbursed. PROGRAMS • Aging infrastructure — Fortunately, downtown has developed infrastructure. The Flathead Area Young challenge for investment is that it can be old and poorly located. Professionals Impact fees — Under the current impact fee schedule, developers have the same impact Kalispell Convention fee schedule downtown with substantial infrastructure in place as a developer in a & Visitor Bureau "green field" with little or no infrastructure. There are no county impact fees currently. ■ Kalispell Chamber Disconnect with other districts —The downtown district is disconnected, for planning Foundation and marketing purposes, from the Westside Tax Increment District, which runs from the Leadership Flathead Fairgrounds to the Glacier Rail Park, and the Airport Tax Increment District. Manufacturers Alliance There are some actions that the City Council and the Planning Board might consider which have the potential to accelerate the urban renewal of downtown Kalispell: 1 l 1 15 Depot Park Kalispell, MT 59901 [ (P) 406-758-2800 [ (F) 406-758-2805 [ www.kalispellchamber.com • Consider alternative uses for City owned lots — the City has some of the best located sites in the downtown area. The Key Issues and Strategies section (page 32) provides some analysis for how this might happen. • Consider adjusting the impact fee schedule lower — Is it possible to lower the impact fee schedule to compensate for the existing infrastructure downtown and the lower relative costs of installing new infrastructure in "green field" environments and unincorporated county areas? ■ Consider a marketing effort to attract developers and investment downtown — the city or planning board might convene business support organizations to help a marketing effort to attract developers and investment to downtown and the B3 zone. Despite the challenges of urban renewal in the downtown core, there are some encouraging signs in the local economy that may help accelerate growth and jobs. We are seeing record visitation in Glacier National Park that is boosting Kalispell's tourism economy. Residential and commercial construction is at its strongest since the start of the Great Recession. Health care jobs in the county are growing at a rate placing it in the top 5% of all areas in the country. These are encouraging signs for downtown, Kalispell, and the Flathead Valley.

Tooley, Director Sfeve Bullock, Governor Recently, the Montana Department of Transportation's (MDT) consultant Robert Peccia & Associates (RPA) brought to our attention the City of Kalispell's Downtown Plan Draft. From our review of the plan, it appears many facets of the Downtown Area were thought of and considered which we commend. One area of consideration included in this plan is Main Street's current configuration and a preference for considering a three -lane facility. After discussions with Mr. Russell about the City of Kalispell Planning Board Meeting scheduled for August 81 to discuss the draft, both MDT and RPA have collected comments regarding the plan and ask that you share these comments with the Planning Board at tonight's meeting. Our comments are focused on Main Street's configuration and involve clarification to several statements made in the draft document. Main Street/US 93 is owned and operated by MDT and is classified as a major arterial on the National Highway System. It is part of the US 93 highway system as described in the Somers to Whitefish Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and all improvements and operational requirements must adhere to FHWA rules and policies. The current configuration from Somers to Whitefish is a four -lane facility, with the exception of the Kalispell Courthouse Couplet, as described in the Somers to Whitefish EIS. The regional traffic demands on this facility have experienced significant growth since the EIS was completed in 1994- With the recent Kalispell Bypass connection completed and the possibility of a Willow Glen connection added to the area's transportation system at some future time period, MDT felt it was necessary to model future traffic flow scenarios. As part of the Kalispell Courthouse Couplet project, MDT hired RPA to conduct a Traffic Engineering Study which evaluated different scenarios centered around transportation options in the downtown area. The Downtown Plan Draft refers to this study several times and draws certain conclusions which are not accurate representations of RPA's report and conclusions. Listed on the following page of this letter are sections of Downtown Plan Draft MDT and RPA are providing specific comments and Phone: (406) 523-5804 An Equal OppoRundy Employer TTY: (800) 336-7532 Toll -free.- (886) 231.5819 Web Page: www.mdt.mt,gov clarification. Below each section is the detailed comment and clarification as taken from the Kalispell Courthouse Couplet Traffic Engineering Study. • Page 13: "1. Four driving lanes — Each driving lane measures 13 feet wide. Lanes are intended to accommodate large trucks as well as passenger cars quickly and efficiently through the downtown. Speed and Volume are emphasized over local commerce." The existing typical section consists of four 12-foot travel lanes and 10-foot parking lanes. The current typical section meets current standards for an Urban Principal Arterial on the National Highway System. • Page 17, 2. Highway 93 Alternate Bypass Route, paragraph 2: "MDT traffic projections show that by the year 2035, the bypass could be carrying upwards of 18, 000 to 20,000 vehicles per day greatly reliving congestion on Main Street." The most recent traffic analysis conducted in the Kalispell Courthouse Couplet Traffic Engineering Report projected the following traffic volumes on the bypass for the year 2040: e Approximately 12,000 vehicles per day (vpd) between Airport Road and US 93 o Approximately 15,250 vpd between Meridian Road and Airport Road o Approximately 17,250 vpd south of Reserve Drive The traffic modeling conducted for the Kalispell Courthouse Couple Traffic Engineering Report showed very little variation in traffic volumes along the bypass regardless of roadway configuration along Main Street. The modeling results helped conclude that there is still high traffic demand in the downtown even with the bypass being fully constructed- The bypass is effectively pulling traffic that is traveling longer distances from downtown, however, there is still shown to be high traffic demand related directly to the downtown area. + Page 18, 3. Courthouse Couplet, paragraph 2: "Guiding MDT in their analysis of improvements to the courthouse couplet is their 1993 Environmental Impact Study (EIS), which supports a 4-lane upgrade. In that EIS, the fundamental purpose of this highway project was to move traffic faster and more efficiently." The 1994 U.S- Highway 93 Sommers to Whitefish West Final EIS/Section 4(0 Evaluation identified a preferred alternative consisting of a four -lane urban facility for US Highway 93 between Airport Road and Ninth Street. The EIS identified the following purpose and needs for the proposed US 93 reconstruction: o More efficiently move people and goods by reducing congestion and improving mobility. a Improve overall safety conditions on US 93. It will likely be necessary to prepare a NEPAIMEPA reevaluation of the courthouse couplet area to update supporting environmental studies as part of any project implementation activities. The reevaluation document would describe the proposed improvements for the corridor, evaluate the proposed project's consistency with the purpose and need in the 1994 Final EIS/ROD, and identify any changed environmental conditions within the area affected by the proposed project. The document would also describe potential permanent and temporary impacts and associated mitigation measures for relevant environmental resources or considerations. Ultimately, the reevaluation document would demonstrate whether or not the conclusions about potential environmental effects made in the Final EIS/ROD remain valid for the Kalispell Courthouse Couplet segment of US 93. • Page 19, 3. Courthouse Couplet, paragraph 3: "The 2016 courthouse couplet study undertaken by Robert Peccia & Associates shows that using Alternative 8 of their study, which Phone (406) 523-5800 An aqua! Opportunity Employer 7rY: (BOO) 335-7592 TbXfree y (BU) 231-5819 web Page; wwwmdt.mt.gov calls for upgrading Willow Glen on the east side of Kalispell, will effectively provide a long-term fix for traffic in Downtown Kalispell. Analysis of "Alternative 8: Two Travel Lanes with TWLTLILeft-turn Lanes and Willow Glen Upgrade" in the Traffic Engineering Report showed that traffic volumes on Main Street were projected to increase at a rate slightly lower than "Alternative 2: Two Travel Lanes with TWLTLILeft-turn Lanes". Modeling and analysis of Alternative 8 showed that projected traffic volumes along the Courthouse Couplet and through downtown Kalispell exceeded roadway capacity. Alternative 8 "does not remedy congestion and operational concerns within the corridor or along Main Street through the downtown." Page 57, Appendix F. Courthouse Couplet Study, paragraph 1 : "Alternative 2 is the traffic configuration that would most closely identify with the design concepts embraced in this plan, The Peccia study shows that Main Street can function as a 2-lane road with center turn lane (Alternative 2) now and into the near future. The study also shows the significant negative impacts that would come if the Courthouse Couplet and Main Street were committed to a long term four lane design (Alternative 3). If Alternative 3 were the final configuration of Main Street, traffic is projected to increase by 50 % compared to if Alternative 2 were implemented. Alternative 3 would provide for 30,000 cars on Main Street, this is an astronomical number considering Main Street is already experiencing too much traffic. Considering stakeholders of downtown feel that there is already too much traffic on Main Street, Alternative 3 is not a viable option. Additionally, Alternative 3 would further impact space for improvements needed to improve the pedestrian environment along Main Street." Baseline traffic projections show traffic volumes along Main Street of between 21,000 vpd and 24,500 vpd for the year 2040. Alternatives 2 and 8 project lower volumes due to capacity thresholds being reached in the travel demand model, As a result, additional traffic demand is shown to divert onto adjacent routes. Alternatives 2 and 8 are not consistent with the purpose and need stated in the 1994 EIS and do not achieve the performance objectives of the National Highway System. The alternatives were shown to not remedy congestion or operational concerns through the Courthouse Couplet or along Main Street through the downtown, The Traffic Engineering Report ultimately identified Alternative & Four Travel Lanes with TWLTLILeft-turn Lanes as the preferred alternative. The configuration aligns with the 1994 EIS and best addresses transportation concerns identified along the corridor. The alternative would provide for adequate capacity to accommodate existing and future demands. The report noted that there are still implementation challenges, such as local community support, right-of-way acquisition, and potential impacts on the Courthouse Historic District. Additional study will occur during the project development process. Also, page 29 of the Downtown Plan Draft mentions the possibility of funding improvements to Main Street through the Federal -Aid System, All improvements made to a Federal -Aid facility must comply with federal and state requirements which includes environmental documents and engineering analyses. In this case, the Record of Decision for the Somers to Whitefish EIS states the preferred option is a split four -lane facility around the Courthouse Couplet tying into the already existing four -lane facility in the Downtown Area. The engineering traffic study recently completed by RPA reaffirms the four -lane configuration is the preferred alternative and the only option MDT can support. If another option is desired, like a three -lane configuration, the course of action required to move the configuration forward is to petition the Transportation Commission to remove US 93 from the Federal -Aid system and Phone: (406) 523-5800 An Equal OppWvnity Employer TTY: f80O) 335�-7592 Toll -free: (888) 231-5819 Web Page: www.mdf.mt.gov transfer ownership of the facility to local jurisdiction. The limits of the transfer would be from Gardner's RV to West Reserve and then MDT would reclassify the Kalispell Bypass as US 93. Along with the federal and state requirements MDT must adhere to, we are also concerned about the operational performance of the state highway system. An appropriate local comparison for Main Street in terms of traffic volumes is West Reserve from Whitefish Stage to US 93. This three -lane facility experiences traffic volumes comparable to Main Street and MDT receives many complaints about this section of highway. The complaints are typically due to the significant congestion the facility carries and the public outcry MDT receives is a call to widen the roadway to a five -lane facility. If two lanes were removed from Main Street, its performance would likely rival West Reserve and the downtown area would experience severe congestion. Reducing the number of lanes for this section of Main Street./US 93, which is part of a much larger four to five -lane network from Somers to Whitefish, is estimated to result in lane starvation, congestion, and safety issues for the traveling public. MDT would like to partner with the City of Kalispell and Flathead County to achieve the local goals as well as the state transportation goals to the maximum extent possible. Using Federal -Aid urban standards, items like lane width reductions, bulbouts, decorative amenities, turn -lanes, bike -lanes, and upgraded signalization are examples of many engineered features which can be explored to meet several of the local goals outlined in the Downtown Plan Draft. Since space is limited on Main Street, collective decision -making is imperative to determine what Main Street's future configuration will look like. MDT welcomes a collaborative decision -making process involving the various stakeholders and recommends starting this process by updating the area's transportation plan. We hope to find acceptable solutions which can be presented to the Transportation Commission and approved by that body. Thank you for the opportunity to comment and participate in your planning process. We look forward to working together to find collaborative solutions which meet the needs of all users throughout the corridor. Sincerely, Ed Toays, P.E.

Main Street in Kalispell, within walking distance to our historic downtown corridor. I would like to applaud all of those who put so much effort and thorough research into the proposed land use plan on Main Street. This sort of foresight is what builds thriving cities and enhances community engagement. As a resident of Kalispell, I would like to voice my approval of the proposed changes to Main Street and the downtown corridor. As the planning document states, I feel that it is vitally important for our community to develop a long-term vision which creates a sense of place and identity for our residents and guests. Kalispell has all the inherent qualities of historic, western identity and commerce which would be greatly enhanced by this plan. While I understand concerns about traffic, I think the point about "high levels of drive through traffic for no specific reason" should not be taken lightly. We obviously do not want to route all traffic around downtown, but rather give people a reason to come, stop and visit Kalispell. Nobody wants to do that on a 4 lane highway. The bypass should be used more appropriately through signage and direction by MDT. The other proposed parking and traffic changes sound prudent and within the realm of possibility. I also agree with the document's suggestion of "restoring the purpose of main street." People want to use downtown as evidenced by the annual Holiday Stroll, Thursday Fest and our recent brewfest. They want to go to restaurants, walk or bicycle around on safe streets and sidewalks and do errands at small businesses. A plan like this would also provide parking and give residents and tourists a reason to enjoy downtown Kalispell. Lastly, I would like to note the art component of this plan. Many cities dedicate a small percentage (.S -1%) of construction costs on public projects like this towards the incorporation of public art installation(s). The current plan mentions the impact of performance art, but I would encourage the board to consider the positive financial impacts of sculptural and visual art as well. I would strongly encourage the City to create an Arts Commission (similar to the Planning Board) to help guide the thoughtful implementation of any such projects. Thank you for your consideration.

Reading your report we have several concerns. Our greatest concern is the idea of adding 6 feet to the sidewalks and any sort of bump outs before the city has incorporated angle parking for downtown. We need the increase of 12 spaces per block. From our experience with our shop in Whitefish, bump outs decreased the number of parking spaces per block. In Whitefish, the sidewalks were widened a mere 2 feet and that was plenty of space. With the exception of restaurants, merchants in Whitefish utilize just a small portion of the sidewalks, and adding 6 feet to sidewalks that are already larger than those in Whitefish after street scaping seems counterproductive. The current sidewalks and curbing is adequate, lets spend the money increasing the number of parking spaces by creating angled parking. Another concern we have is any sort of median landscaping. When snow falls in Kalispell, plows leave a berm in the center of the street... where will that snow fall go if medians are created? To us, creating angled parking should be the number one priority, way before losing 12 feet of street space to increased sidewalks, or losing parking spaces to bump outs or creating a snow hazard with median landscaping. PLEASE work toward angled parking as the city's top priority. Both Denise and I wish we could be at tonight's meeting. Having only received this information yesterday, we had prior commitments. I do hope we can be included in the process as meetings are held in the future.

I am the 4th generation of my family to have been born in Kalispell and the Flathead Valley. My sons and grandsons make 6 generations. I love Kalispell and our historic main street, including the courthouse in the couplet. It is unique. I do not like the proposed plan. To tell you the truth, I haven't stopped shaking my head since I read about the proposed change. appreciate that you wish to "restore the purpose of main street", and to get more people to stop and shop there. I know you all put a lot of time and effort into the plan. Nonetheless, I have many concerns and feel that making main street two lanes rather than four will cause many problems. We simply have too much traffic. Beautifying something doesn't necessarily make it usable, feasible, or convenient. I read that you want to make it a place for people to walk and shop like they did in 1949. You simply can't go back to 1949, or even 1969 when I was a teen, because we have many times the traffic we did then. I remember trying to Christmas shop on main street in the 1960's and the difficulty we had finding parking spaces then. It was a pain. You may make it look nice, but the problems it will cause will not be worth it. Just like the bump out corners were supposed to enhance the looks of the street and instead took away parking spaces and ended up being a nuisance... or changing 3rd street to two way traffic so now you have to take your life into your own hands and play "dodge car" all the way down the street, this plan will also be a problem. Perhaps a plan like the one you propose would do well in a town where main street wasn't also a major highway, but I believe it would be a mistake on our main street. I have seen similar plans in cities I have traveled to, but they weren't on a major highway. I purposely avoid areas like this proposed plan when I travel because they are inconvenient. I saw one town in Colorado, where people had to back into angle parking so that they could get back into traffic easier with fewer accidents. I don't want that here! Many locals avoid main street now because of the amount of traffic, which is why so many of us used the one way 3rd and 4th Ave East. Now it's dangerous to drive 3rd Ave East because of having to dodge traffic. I've seen several broken car mirrors because of it. If we can't drive 3rd and 4th and main street is two lane, traffic is going to be horrendous. If you go to two lane traffic, I believe you will have traffic backed up to Rosauers or Kelly Road on the south and the top of Buffalo Hill on the north, especially during tourist season. The city changed from two lane to four to ease the traffic congestion and now you wish to bring that back? if it was a problem back then, it will be many times worse now because our traffic is many times worse. We had over one million people visit Glacier Park last month, most of them having to drive down our main street. I've seen our 4 lanes very congested because of this increase in traffic. How much worse would it be with 2 lanes. Where are you going to direct that traffic? They can't go down 3rd and 4th any longer. You may be able to make 1 st Street W a one way going south, but you can't make 1 st Street East one way going north because you can't make a left turn when you hit Hwy 2, you can only turn right, which will inconvenience many. The median would be a disaster, the least of which is where will you put the snow in winter? It will be inconvenient and take up too much space on a street that will already have been narrowed by larger sidewalks. We do not need trees between the lanes of traffic or on our sidewalks. People have suggested angle parking, which is a good idea for increasing parking spaces. However, if you have bumper to bumper traffic, a parked car will have a terrible time backing up into that traffic to get out of the space. The result will be increased fender benders. That's one reason why Kalispell discontinued angle parking years ago... and they didn't have nearly the amount of traffic we do now. If you had 4 lanes of traffic, it would be easier to back out of angle parking as through traffic could pass on the inside lanes. However, you would then have to narrow the sidewalks instead of enlarge them to have angle parking. Put the money into putting up a parking garage instead of inconveniencing people driving down main street. Kalispell's sidewalks are plenty wide enough. We do not have to enlarge them. Most merchants will not utilize a larger sidewalk anyway. As for restaurants putting seating on the sidewalk? Who will want to sit out there to eat with bumper to bumper traffic, all the noise and fumes? Not me! The traffic on 1 st Ave West past the 406 Bar and Grill is bad enough when you are sitting outside and trying to eat and visit. Entertainment in Depot Park is wonderful. Why do we need it on main street? If necessary, you can also have entertainment at Lion Park or the park by the courthouse, it is not needed on main street where there is not enough parking and where it would hinder people shopping in the stores. Have you ever tried to find parking in Bigfork when the Playhouse is open? That's what it would be like here. Very inconvenient. Trying to turn Kalispell into Bigfork or Whitefish is just a mistake. Many of us avoid those two towns because, while they are quaint and pretty, the traffic, lack of parking spaces, and too much foot traffic are just annoying and inconvenient. They are little tourist traps, and l for one, do not want that for Kalispell. You may get some tourists to stop, but most of us locals will avoid it like the plague. You can better utilize the money by turning that railroad district you plan to redo into a great little shopping area for foot traffic only and no vehicle traffic. You can make it a "destination" area with cute little shops and restaurants, etc. I've seen areas like that in Denver and Washington, DC, and other cities. With the proper signage and parking, you could easily direct traffic to that area. Yes, that won't please some of the existing shop owners on main street, but in the long run, they will not be happy 2 with your plan either. Who is going to shop on main street when you can't find a place to park or when the two lane highway is bumper to bumper with drivers getting frustrated and angry because they can't easily get from point A to point B? Do you remember the empty businesses on main street during the economic down turn a few years ago? I love that those businesses have filled up again. However, I believe we have another crash coming and we may well see a lot of empty stores again... after putting millions into changing main street. Instead, develop the railroad area, take the bump outs away from the street corners to give more parking, put up a parking garage. Fix the many streets and sewer and water mains in Kalispell that need fixing instead of sinking money into this project. Did you know that many of the parking spaces in the parking lot by the senior apartment where my mother lives are taken by workers at Glacier Bank? It is inconvenient for the residents of the apartment building and their families and other visitors. Parking is desperately needed in Kalispell. Parking for downtown, parking for businesses like Glacier Bank, even parking for the high school. There are so many more important projects that need to be done and that should have precedence over "beautifying" our main street. The expense of this project will be huge, and it's money that could be better utilized elsewhere. Let's use good sense, be fiscally responsible and be good stewards of the tax money or our residents. I, for one, cannot afford any more tax increases. And remember, grants come from taxes, too. Put the citizens of Kalispell first over tourists.

Has anyone been up to Whitefish lately and seen the new amazing parking garage downtown? I thought that a parking garage should have been built at the same time the second Flathead County building was built a couple of years ago. In that area of town, Flathead High School could also use the parking garage or anyone going to football games. I think the situation on Third should change to only allow parking on one side of the street every day, and switch the side of the street every few days or every other day. That road is only wide enough for one vehicle when cars are parked on each side. Changing the downtown from four lanes to two lanes is only going to cause more traffic in the neighborhoods. If people are not using the bypass now, they're not going to use it in the future. The only reason why we use it, is because we are north of Home Depot (in Silverbrook Estates) and sometimes it is quicker to use it to get south of town, but I never use it to get to the center of town as it is quicker to just come down 93 or Whitefish Stage. We have only lived here for nine years, and the traffic has doubled because of tourism. Changing the streets downtown will only increase the traffic. The tourism is not going to slow down. The money would be better spent improving roads like Whitefish Stage, the bridge over the Stillwater River by Home Depot on Reserve and other roads that are falling apart. Reserve and Whitefish Stage are a nightmare! That road needs to be widened and have a traffic light going into Applied Materials. Whitefish Stage at Reserve needs to be widened and add turning lanes and turn lane signals. I had a child at Edgerton Elementary and one at Glacier High School and I work at the corner of Whitefish Stage & Reserve & my husband works at Applied Materials. We have to deal with these roads every day and several times a day. tt's almost impossible to get on Whitefish Stage from my office and even harder to get to my office if coming from Hwy 93 on Reserve. The intersection at Target & Lowes needs to have specified turn lanes with turn signals & get rid of the plant medians! It seems that the city planning committees or traffic planning people don't actually drive on these roads and see the problems that the rest of us do, driving these roads every day and several times a day. There are smart traffic systems out there that studies have shown make huge differences. Research them, implement them & find the roads that are in serious need of repaving. Quit wasting money on chip sealing and repaving roads without issues. Quit tilling potholes by having your employees till the holes with shovels and drive over the holes to pack down the fill with the city trucks. Fix the potholes the correct way, use the right equipment. Fix the problem roads, don't create new problems.

I think it's really a great document, and I look forward to moving forward with it. Town Square I Pedestrian Mall o I think adding the idea of closing a block or two of downtown to create a pedestrian mall, should be added to the plan. o Here are some resources to check out. Although you guys probably are much better informed than I am. • Pearl St. in Boulder. CO • Attached photo showing what I think are viable city owned areas for this idea. ■ ht!ps://www.pps.org/blog/9-great-streets-around-tle-xN,orld/ • Bike Connections o The plan mentions bikes several times, but a couple big picture thoughts on bike use could be added. 2. Connecting downtown bike/ped routes to the core trail, and further more, to the Lawrence park neighborhood. (Perhaps this connection goes though depot park and connects right into the new pedestrian mall on 1 st st. E. ) 3. Some wording on bike/ped lane best practices, like "protected lanes" could be added. • Art o Art is also mentioned several times. I have a few small ideas and one big one. o The big idea is for funding. I'd like to see language directed towards creating an arts commision. Similar programs are common in other cities. Funding often comes from X-percentage of building permit fees. • 1 love the idea of reviving a theater district, and installing bold public art. • I'd like to see old brick walls (the one in the Vally Bank parking lot), and ugly brick walls (the side of J2 Office Stuff) painted with bold and interesting murals. • I'd also like to see any faded old signs, like the Gambels sign, repainted. 0 Branding o Downtown Kalispell needs a compelling brand identity. This branding will guide many visual decisions that will take place as this plan is implemented. • Architecture Standards o This is mentioned in the plan too. If they are not one in the same, I'd like to see a direct comment on updating signage standards too. Those are my main thoughts on the plan so far! Thanks much!

I'm certain that this is not the way you want to receive ideas for the city - however, I'm not organized enough to present my ideas to the board, so I'll throw them at you, and if they are good, perhaps you'll use them, if not - no worries! I'd love to see a section of Main Street closed to traffic completely, and opened up for better browsing, social events, First Night, etc. Encourage businesses that attract window shoppers to fill the first floor spaces and restaurants - rent discounts for the first two years, maybe? I think we would increase our tourist shoppers, as well as residents. The additional space in front of the business could become cafes. In the meantime, I'd love to see the section of Main Street where the parades are held, to be closed to parking for the event. As it is, people hurry to park their cars right in front of the crowds watching the event! The Christmas parade includes people sitting in parked cars with the engines running (to stay warm!), while everyone on the sidewalk asphyxiates! Once avid parade goers, we stopped attending because of this (well, maybe the political entries and the business advertising was a factor as well). There's my two cents worth of opinions! Have a great day and keep up the terrific work keeping our city on track! You'll always have my vote. Regards, Tracey Johnson Flathead County Board of Commissioners -... (406) 758-5503 Pamela J.

Box 1997 Kalispell, MT 59901 RE: Main Street/Highway 93 Infrastructure Changes Dear Council Members: After review and consideration of the Kalispell downtown plan, the Board of Flathead County Commissioners wishes to officially comment on the transportation infrastructure changes proposed by Kalispell for U. S. Highway 93 through Kalispell. This north -south route through Flathead County and Kalispell is vital to county citizens commuting through the Kalispell area for work or shopping. The proposed change to a two-lane travel corridor in the Kalispell downtown will impact both local citizen commuters and tourists, requiring them to avoid this route by using other routes or urban streets to get around the downtown, adding time and safety concerns to commutes. County roads like Willow Glen are sure to see increased traffic impacting homeowners along these routes not designed for the increase. We encourage Kalispell officials to abandon any plans that have the potential to degrade the connectivity, efficiency and safety of highways, streets and roads within Flathead County. We will continue to urge MDOT to stay the course for Highway 93 through the Kalispell area and concur with the traffic statistics that MDOT has provided.

Given the shift of big box retail and other commercial uses to the north side of Kalispell and the development of the 93 by-pass, retaining the historic core of the city will add value to redevelopment efforts in the B3 zone. With an infrastructure of streets, sidewalks, schools, churches, cultural institutions, trees, and parks; the city center's existing assets should be maximized. Ironically, the presence of the Court House smack dab in the middle of Main St encouraged the preservation of Kalispell's older neighborhoods. It certainly is an effective traffic calming device! With its restoration and the sympathetic development of the Flathead County campus, it is a great anchor for the downtown of the county seat. I was amused that the County Commission sought to weigh-in on Kalispell's transportation planning. The county's track record for forward -looking traffic planning is not a good one. With issues facing the county such as Reserve, Evergreen, Rose Crossing, Willow Glen, Whitefish Stage, and elsewhere; it needs to work proactively on anticipating future county transportation needs and opportunities for efficient development. The Main St median strip should not be landscaped unless there are alternate places designated for parades and winter snow removal. Downtown Kalispell is the best parade venue in the valley. Flexible snow removal options for city crews are also important. Margaret Davis, homeowner, 160 Charlotte Ave, 59901 and Lakeside 1 GooDALE &BARBIERI COMPANY SINCE 1937 September 21, 2017 Mayor Mark Johnson 201 1" Avenue East Kalispell, MT 59901 Re: Proposed Highway 93 Lane Reduction Dear Mayor Johnson, I'm writing to you about the impact the proposed lane reduction will have on the Kalispell Center Mall and all of downtown retail. Prior to that discussion, I would like to thank you for your participation in the grand reopening of the new 80,000 square foot Herberger's store in our Kalispell Center Mall, located in the heart of downtown Kalispell. Everyone attending the ceremony was encouraged by your important and kind words. You mentioned, "Herberger's expansion is one of the first dominos to fall in the revitalization of Kalispell's downtown". You were proud of Herberger's and the investment they have made in our community and the faith they have in the citizens and future customers. You talked about the removal of the railroad tracks and the future walking path coupled with more development in this area. We agree with all your comments and are proud to be located in downtown Kalispell. The Kalispell Center Mall opened its doors August lst, 1986, and has now been open for more than 31 years, Over the past several years, at significant cost and development, we have resurfaced the parking lot, reroofed and replaced all the skylights and landscaping. We added rock wainscot to the south side of the exterior, painted the exterior, remodeled the bathrooms, and added signing. We have added numerous specialty tenants including Starbucks on the south east side of our property. Traffic counts typical of major highways justified the expansion and remodel of the Red Lion Hotel located in the mall. Our most recent project was the addition of PROFESSIONAL REAL ESTATE SERVICES 818 W Riverside Avenue, Suife 300 • Spokane, WA 99207 Phone (509) 459-6102 • Fax (509) 777-6323 • www.g-b.com 40,000 square feet to Herberger's and the remodeling of the stores existing 40,000 square feet. This new 80,000 square foot department store is a major commitment to downtown Kalispell and our entire trade area which includes Flathead, Glacier, Lake, Sanders and Lincoln counties, as well as our Canadian friends to the north. Over the past 31 years, the Kalispell Center Mall has contributed approximately $10,000,000 in real estate taxes to support the Kalispell community. In addition, the City of Kalispell received a $3,000,000 urban development action grant which the city loaned to the developer based on the investment the developer made and the jobs created by the Kalispell Center Mall. The grant was paid back to the city and was partially used to improve 1st Avenue West and other projects. mention all of this to demonstrate that the Kalispell Center Mall has been an integral partner for the benefit of downtown Kalispell. All of the recent projects referenced above have been completed with private funds using local contractors. The removal of the railroad tracks will regenerate the spirit of Kalispell and allow for development in the core area with the addition of a trail system. Already, this redevelopment has begun to improve the downtown core. North of the tracks we have entered into a lease with Sun Rift Beer Company who is currently under construction. The owner of Sun Rift, Craig Koontz said "The historic beauty and setting of this development area is second to none, and we are honored to be a part of celebrating downtown Kalispell." North of the Kalispell Center Mall and current railroad tracks, we have been working with a large retailer to develop a 60,000 square foot building on approximately five acres. This is a prominent and well recognized retailer that would attract traffic into the downtown Kalispell marketplace and would be helpful to surrounding business owners. Additionally, this retailer requires a certain traffic count on adjacent arterials before they even consider building a store. We are now in jeopardy of losing this prospect due to the City of Kalispell's proposed reductions of two lanes of traffic. We have already been negatively impacted by the Highway 93 bypass. The intent, according to our early discussions with the City, was to reduce semi -truck traffic and make it easier for automobiles to travel through downtown, enjoying opportunities to shop and dine. What we have found by observation is 80% of the traffic using the bypass are automobiles, therefore bypassing downtown altogetheH The Kalispell Center Mall has been negatively impacted by this reduction in vehicle traffic. Other retailers I have spoken to have suffered as well. The City of Kalispell is now contemplating reducing Main Street from four lanes to two lanes of traffic, a 50% reduction. This reduction will have severe negative impacts to the Kalispell Center Mall as well as other retailers. Successful retail has always been a function of vehicle traffic. The first question retail tenants asks us is, "What is the vehicle per day (VPD) count?" Enclosed is an example of a tenant's leasing requirements; note the asterisk next to "Traffic count", a parameter included among their most crucial requirements. Additionally, when we negotiated with Starbucks for their pad site, we narrowly met their minimal traffic counts. If traffic is further reduced, it will create a significant harm to surrounding retail, We will no longer meet the minimum VPD counts that will afford Kalispell the types of retailers expected at the core revitalization. According to the Montana Department of Transportation, after the 1't Phase of the Bypass was completed we lost 4,470 cars per day that avoid downtown altogether. I ask the leadership of the city to not reduce the current four lanes of traffic to two lanes. Traffic is vital to support all retail and restaurants in the downtown Kalispell marketplace. Our tenants, future development to the north, and all downtown retail depend on this traffic to support each tenant's business model. Mayor, I ask that you distribute this letter to all council members so they may gain an understanding of the significance of these lane reductions. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, David Peterson Executive Vice President & COO Goodale & Barbieri Co.

I don't feel that the direction they are taking the downtown kalispell area is healthy. They have demolished an old brick building to build a parking garage! If they have grown that big, they need to move out of downtown where they can house that many people. I hope you start listening to people's concerns about this church and it's location.

I'm sure you all did too. I bet I'm not the only one who is disappointed to see more of our downtown's assets disappear forever. I would very much like to see historic downtown structures go through more of a public review before they can be demolished. If a business is too large to operate out of one of our city's dwindling historic downtown structures, perhaps they ought to move their business to another location rather than tearing down the very architecture that makes our town appealing. I found a few other towns plans for preserving their privately owned historic structures. .lust incase anyone need some extra reading, https://www.ert. state.la.us/Assets/OCD/lip//gEants/certi fiedlocalgovenunent/documents-and- forms/A_Citizens_Guide to Protectii�Historic_Places.pdf http://www.ct.gov/cet/lib/cct/1-iistoM/shpoplannew.pd btt s://www.hanson-ma. ov/sites/hansonrna/files/u loads/communit reservation plan 1-17. df Thanks much!

Attachments: freshlife building 1 jpg From:: Elma Giavasis [mailto:elma@highlinemt.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 6, 2017 10:20 AM To: Kalispell City Council <citycouncil@kalispell.com>; Doug Russell <drussell@kalispell.com>; Kari Hernandez <khernandez@kalispell.com>; Kari Hernandez <khernandez@kalispell.com> Subject: Destroying historical downtown buildings — please stop freshlife! Hello Aimee, Doug, Jeff, Tom, and the rest of the folks at Kalispell municipality, My name is Elma Giavasis. My husband and I recently bought and restored a downtown Kalispell historical building to start up our business and bring more jobs and innovative thinking to the valley. We've joined a community of entrepreneurs and business owners who realize, not just the beauty, but the economic value of being downtown, surrounded by historical buildings. Our downtown historical buildings are what makes Kalispell unique. From a branding and design perspective, they tell the story of our town and they are crucial in differentiating us from other towns and communities. We have to protect them. It's not the concrete blocks of modern structures which will be treasured one day, it's our turn of the century brick beauties which will carry the the torch to future generations (and add value to businesses). Which brings me to freshlife. This megachurch recently purchased many beautiful brick historical buildings on 1st avenue east. And this is what they're doing to many of them: Loosing these buildings lessens the value of downtown Kalispell. Freshlife will fade, but these buildings will keep telling the story of historical Kalispell. Is there anything you can do to protect these buildings? I join many downtown business owners in my disappointment in the lack of protection you offer historical buildings. These are huge missed opportunities in increasing the value for downtown Kalispell. Please, don't let any more historical buildings fall. It is not worth the money of any single business or church. The long-tenn effect is devastating. Please reach out to me if you would like to discuss this matter further. I am also speaking for many other business owners downtown (Kalispell Brewing, Ceres Bakery, Sweetpeaks, Brix, Montana Coffee Traders and surely many more). Regards, Elma Giavasis KALISPELL CITY PLANNING BOARD & ZONING COMMISSION MINUTES OF REGULAR MEETING August 8, 2017 CALL TO ORDER AND ROLL The regular meeting of the Kalispell City Planning Board and Zoning CALL Commission was called to order at 6:00 p.m. Board members present were: Chad Graham, George Giavasis, Doug Kauffman, Rory Young and Steve Lorch, Ronalee Skees and Christopher Yerkes were absent.

The Downtown Plan takes a careful and considerate look at Kalispell's historic downtown and courthouse corridor. STAFF REPORT Jarod Nygren, representing the Kalispell Planning Department reviewed File #KGPA-17-02. Nygren went through a brief history of the progress of this plan. He noted that staff has been working on this for several years following the core area plan and there have been 2 work sessions in regards to the plan over the last few months. Numerous parking studies have been done as well as over 100 interviews with downtown business owners within the downtown boundary. He mentioned that staff has also had numerous meetings with the Downtown Parking Committee, the Downtown Business Expansion and Retention Group, the Business Improvement Kalispell City Planning Board Minutes of the meeting of August 8, 2017 Page I 1 District and the Kalispell Downtown Association. The Downtown Plan draft has been emailed to over 100 business owners as well as the Kalispell Downtown Association.

PUBLIC HEARING Richard Turbiak — 35 41' St W, Kalispell -- Citizens For a Better Flathead — commented on the plan and that the Citizens For a Better Flathead supports the Downtown Plan but are concerned with the possible increase in liquor/gaming licenses in the corridor, which conflict with the "sense of place". Nancy Christenson — 513 W Colorado St — feels the proposed signage to direct truck traffic to the bypass will not work, she feels the roundabouts should be removed in order to get the trucks to use the bypass. She also feels the couplet should be left as is for historical purposes.
