Deliverables in the analysis phase will be a general plan that combines the major aspects of the specific analyses and the effect they will have on the final streetscape master plan for the City. Task 3. Master Plan, Streetscape Guidelines, and Schematic Plan for Collins Avenue (7 weeks) In this phase a preliminary master plan will be developed for presentation to the City and the public that will incorporate solutions to the analysis observations and community wide goals. In this phase we will also provide 8-10 typical sections for major streets within the City. The master plan will include location of entrance portals, main vehicular and pedestrian nodes, utility improvements. public spaces and plazas, development of view corridors, parking issues, pedestrian sidewalk widths, green strip widths, roadway, widths, median widths, and crosswalk locations. The typical sections will include sidewalk widths, green strips, roadway widths, median widths, general location of vegetation, lighting and street furniture. This preliminary master plan and the analysis information will be presented in meeting with the Planning Advisory Board and City staff so that the final configurations can be determined. Based on the comments provided by the PAS and the City, the master plan will be finalized. This phase will also include the preparation of the streetscape guidelines. The streetscape guidelines will include existing site images and 8-' 0 eXisting and proposed site sections. Paving, street furniture, lighting, plant material selections for 8-10 typical street conditions within the City will accompany the sections. Both the master plan and streetscape guidelines will serve as the basis to move into detailed design development and construction drawings for each street based on the priority established by the City. Since the City has already identified the improvements to Collins Avenue as one of .their top priorities, emphasis will be placed on providing a schematic plan for Collins Avenue. It is anticipated that a traffic study will be required by the reviewing agencies to insure that the proposed modifications do not cause a traffic congestion problem in the City. The final master plan and streetscape guidelines will be presented to the Planning Advisory Board and City staff in a public meeting as well as in a final town hall meeting. Deliverables in this phase will be a preliminary master plan and 8-10 typical sections that will be presented in the first public meeting in this phase. Based on that approved plan the mastsr plan will be finalized. The strestscape guidelines will be presented in 11 x 17 booklet format with black and white images, an order of magnitude cost estimate and phasing plan. The final master plan, and streetscape guidelines will be presented in the last public meeting, together with the schematic design for Collins Avenue. Community Involvement Community support will be vital to the success of the master plan and the eventual implementation of the projects. We will work closely with the City staff and with the PAB as the lead community group through the duration of the preparation of the master plan. This group as per the information provided by the City is a broad based including residents as well as business owners and representatives from the development sector.
