1 21 South Elm Street Zeeland, Michigan (616) FAX (616) CITY COUNCIL MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: SUBJECT: Mayor Klynstra and City Councilmembers Tim Klunder, City Manager Elm Street Reconstruction Concepts DATE: November 4, 2016 CC: November 7 th Work/Study Session At Monday s City Council meeting staff, along with Moore & Bruggink (Bob Bruggink), will present concepts for the reconstruction of Elm Street from Lincoln to Washington in calendar year 2017 see attached overall concept plan. This has quickly become a very exciting project as it brings together components of our Six-Year Street Plan, our Downtown Vision Plan, our Annual Strategic Action Plan, Complete Streets Policy and enhanced safety components to the splash pad. Given the projects ability to touch on all of these various efforts in the city you can understand why we are excited to present this project concept along with our hope that it continues to gain momentum. On Monday evening we will cover the project in detail so my intent is to not touch on every aspect in this memorandum. However, I do want to touch on some of the highlights in preparation for Monday s presentation. Our original street plan called for the reconstruction of Elm from Cherry to Washington in calendar year As the results of the Cherry Street Corridor Study (Downtown Vision Plan) unfolded along with ongoing discussions on how to improve the safety of Elm Street between Cherry and Main given the success of the splash pad; we felt there was a real opportunity to reconstruct Elm Street, especially the block from Cherry to Main, with more than just a typical street reconstruction treatment. The concept that we will present for the block from Cherry to Main is a Woonerf (pronounced Vonerf). Within this concept of a street design all users (pedestrian, bike, vehicle, bus, etc.) have equal access to the right-of-way. The right-of-way has a special treatment, brick pavers in this case, to designate the area as a special place. There are no curbs on this design as the entire right-of-way is one surface. In our case the elevation would be about the current height of the existing sidewalk. The Woonerf concept in this block will enhance our ability to connect the city s green space directly across the street (west) from city hall with the splash pad and our city hall building. This effort looks to create synergy between these public spaces consistent with the recent Cherry Street Corridor Concepts that are proposed to be amended into our Downtown Vision Plan. This FEEL THE ZEEL

2 concept does this by extending the treatment of pavers into the green space area. (We own approximately one-half of the green space.) Safety enhancements come about through aesthetic treatments such as brick pavers, landscaped areas, parking on one side of the street (angled), and designating the street as one-way. Our proposal is that the street would be one-way from south to north. With the idea of pavers for this particular block we have examined our best means of maintaining the integrity to the pavers, especially during the winter season. This has led to our recommendation to consider snow melt for the block, and intersections, from Cherry to Main. We are relatively confident, there are still a few questions to be answered, that we will be able to get the appropriate size boiler(s) in city hall in order for us to provide the heat needed for this area of snow melt. The idea of snow melt is not foreign to City Council as this is a someday goal in the City s Strategic Action Plan. Staff has concluded that if we are ever going to seriously get into the game of snow melt for a street, this is the project to begin our efforts. As we extend the project limits to the north in the block from Main to Washington we would not continue the Woonerf concept. However, we do see treatment of that block more similar to what we have performed in the downtown area long Main with a sidewalk paver ribbon, ornamental street lights, banner poles, etc. We are also looking to slightly narrow the street which would still allow for two-way traffic in that block along with parallel parking on both sides of the street. While the limits of our original plan were Cherry to Washington, the BPW has approached us about the block from Lincoln to Central as they would like to perform some water service work in that block. As that discussion progressed we acknowledged that the street surface in that block is in need of repair as the street has no drainage. Additionally, our sidewalk abuts the street which causes a less than ideal situation for students walking to Lincoln Elementary and snow plowing (street plow vs. sidewalk plow) in the winter season. We thus determined it was best to consider reconstruction of that block as well. In order to address the issues of the sidewalk abutting the street and snow removal issues, we are also proposing that we would change traffic to one-way on that block and the block from Central to Cherry such that traffic would be one-way (south to north) from Lincoln to Main. We have very limited right-of-way in the block from Lincoln to Central and purchasing additional right-of-way would not appear to be an option as many homes are very close to the right-of-way. By making the street one-way we feel we can maintain parking on the east side of the street and get a small separation between the street and sidewalk (west side) via a curb and small green space area. The block from Central to Cherry would be a mill and resurface project rather than reconstruction. We would plan to change that to one-way (south to north) and we are suggesting the idea of adding some parking (parallel) on the east side of that block south part of that block. We acknowledge that there are a lot of things going on with this project. As you can imagine, with a lot of components comes a price. A general breakdown of the rough estimate (street costs only) follows on the next page. H:\Tim Klunder\Street Projects\Elm \CC - Elm Street Development Concept ( ).docx Page 2

3 Cherry to Washington w/ Woonerf from Cherry Main 610,000 Snow Melt from Cherry to Main 450,000 Lincoln to Cherry 200,000 Total Estimate 1,260,000 Again, the above estimates are rough at this time and they do not include such things as water, sanitary sewer or electric. Those items would be covered by their respective funding sources. Additionally, the above cost estimates do not include enhancements to the green space across from city hall. That would also receive funding from a source other than street funds. In analyzing our six-year street plan it does appear that we can make the project work from a fiscal standpoint. Of course, there would have to some trade-offs as we cannot add a project of this significance to an existing plan without some amendments. While I have some trepidation that we have already presented a significant amount of things for City Council to think about, I do want you to have an idea of how our street plan may be impacted by this proposal. Attached you will find a street plan that goes out to While this type of plan is always dynamic as we come across grants, development projects, opportunities, etc. over the years, it does provide a good framework for us to work from. As you will see on the updated plan, we will actually move some projects up some years (portions of Elm), some projects will remain in the years proposed (Washington), and some projects will fall back a few years. Overall we feel like this is a reasonable plan given the resources we have been able to work with in years past. As noted at the beginning of this memo, at Monday s meeting we are presenting the concept to City Council. We are not looking for a final decision by any means. It would be helpful if we receive feedback from City Council on if you want us to even proceed with the concepts. This is a significant project and design will take time so the sooner we can get started the better. As City Council is aware we have tried to inform property owners immediately adjacent to Elm Street of our consideration to change the portion of Elm from Lincoln to Main to a one-way street so that they can provide feedback to City Council on that issue. From a construction standpoint we are looking at a couple of options should we proceed forward with the project. One option would have us constructing the Woonerf portion of the project later in the summer of 2017 in order to minimize the impact on the splash pad. The other option is to actually attempt to get that portion done first thing in the spring with the other blocks going into the summer. The second option is intriguing as it would provide us with usable space adjacent to the splash pad in the summer of 2017 and for the block from Lincoln to Central we will likely want to perform work after school is out. I look forward to the discussion and feedback from City Council on this concept at Monday s work/study session. This appears to be yet another opportunity to make a dynamic impact on our community s effort to Feel the Zeel. Timothy R.
