Adjournment Yes 11A. Suonort for Licensing of Cascadilla Boathouse— Resolution WHEREAS, the Cascadilla Boathouse (the "Boathouse ") has long facilitated access to the waters surrounding Stewart Park, and WHEREAS, the public will benefit from multiple initiatives intended to expand public access to said waters, particularly in non - motorized boats and watercraft, and WHEREAS, authority to license parkland is vested in the Common Council, a committee of which is currently considering a draft license agreement permitting the Cascadilla Boat Club ( "CBC "), continued use of the Boathouse (the "Draft License "), and WHEREAS, the Boathouse has since 1978 hosted CBC, enabling CBC to provide rowing programs to area community members, with a strong emphasis on area youth, and WHEREAS, the licensing of the Boathouse by an organized boating program enables members of the public wishing to boat in Stewart Park to more fully enjoy the recreational and athletic opportunities of the Park and its unique geography on the shores of Cayuga Lake, and WHEREAS, a robust rowing program available to the public enjoying Stewart Park requires a substantial investment in rowing equipment, organizational management, and Boathouse administration, and WHEREAS, such investment would likely prove out of reach for the City in light of financial and staffing constraints, absent a public - private partnership of the sort undertaken in the Draft License, and WHEREAS, the Draft License permits CBC to share the first floor of the Boathouse with the Ithaca Youth Bureau ( "IYB ") in support of IYB expanding public youth access to the water, and WHEREAS, the Draft License as proposed would provide the City with $12,727.14 annually in license revenue, with upward adjustments in accord with the Consumer Price Index, and WHEREAS, said license is for a term of three years, and WHEREAS, Section 6 of said license provides the City unfettered ability to revoke or modify said license upon at least nine months' written notice that the Common Council has so resolved, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works urges the Common Council to pursue the licensing of the Boathouse to CBC via the Draft License as one effective means of enabling the public to enjoy the recreational and athletic boating opportunities offered by Stewart Park, and be it further RESOLVED, That the Board additionally urges the Common Council to guide the City in developing other complimentary uses of the Boathouse or the grounds or other facilities of Stewart Park so as to offer the public non - motorized boating opportunities beyond, but in concert with, the rowing opportunities offered by CBC, and be it further RESOLVED, That in support of the preceding Resolved, the Board urges the pursuit of substantial flexibility in the Draft License, particularly in terms of revocability, so as to maximize the City's ability to develop other complimentary uses of the Boathouse or surrounding grounds that might coexist with CBC. n .c CITY OF ITI1ACA 108 East Green Street, Ithaca, New Yorti: 14850 -5690 OF11ICE OF THE CITY ENGINEER Telephone: 607/274 -6530 Fax: 607/274 -6587 MEMORANDUM TO: Board of Public Works FROM: Eric Hathaway, Sidewalk Program Manager Tom West, Director of Engineering Michael J. Thorne, P.E., Superintendent of Public Works DATE: April 9, 2015 RE: 2015 Sidewalk Construction Work Plan The 2015 Sidewalk Construction Work Plan is currently out for bid. Based on preliminary estimates, this plan would construct approximately 1.33 miles of new sidewalk in 2015. Below is a summary of the adjustments to the original Sidewalk Construction Work Plan, as reflected in the current sidewalk contract. These changes were made for a few primary reasons: In response to public feedback at locations with significant sidewalk defects, accessibility concerns, high pedestrian traffic, or missing sidewalks. Construction projects requiring an element of design to accommodate adjacent infrastructure. These projects are planned for design in 2015. Locations where a planned construction project would present a conflict this construction season. In some instances, projects in the original work plan were postponed in order to add projects to the work plan (see "postponed "); however, these project adjustments are not anticipated to limit the amount of work accomplished this year. The adjustments reflect an ongoing effort to honor feedback from the community in order to best serve its needs and the postponed projects will be considered for construction in 2016. We anticipate receiving all bids by April 22, 2015, and awarding the contract at your scheduled meeting on April 27th.

Thorne, PE Superintendent of Public Works City of Ithaca 108 E. Green St. Ithaca NY 14850 Dear Mr. Thorne: 402 North Aurora Street Ithaca, New York 14850 607 - 273 -5971 office @stpauIsithaca.org www.stpaulsithaca.org RECEIVED Dept. of Public Works MAR 16 2015 Office of the superintendent and Engineering Division St. Paul's United Methodist Church, along with many other residents and businesses in the City, suffered from a frozen water supply line on February 22, 2015. After leaving messages with the Department of Public Works emergency number, we did get a call back in the evening and learned that it would be days before the City would be able to begin thawing our line. We were given the name of a private contractor who might be able to help if we needed service restored more quickly. Because we have three school programs operating during the week in our building (St. Paul's Nursery School, Northern Light Learning Center, and Bright Futures After School Program), in addition to other community groups and our own church programming, we felt we could not wait for the City to get to us. We hired Sam Phillips with Aardarc Welding & Fabricating. to apply his arc welder to the problem. After 8 hours of work on February 23, he determined that the frozen section was not between the cut -off valve and the church building, but rather underneath the street. He worked steadily over a three -day period., accumulating 37 hours applying current to the frozen section, and eventually succeeded in thawing it enough to restore water flow. You may be aware of this particular incident because Sam was working with and consulting with City workers at various times. I have enclosed a copy of the bill for $3,700 that we have been assessed from Aardarc Welding. In addition to this bill, we paid for a plumber and an electrician to do work that would isolate the supply line so the arc weld current would remain only in the sections of pipe being treated. Those two bills came to about $150 total. The purpose of this letter is to ask your consideration for assistance from the City in paying this bill. We recognize the extreme conditions of this winter and the heroic efforts of your work crews to restore services as quickly as possible. Acknowledging the hardships for all of us, we are asking you to estimate what the cost to the City would have been if the DPW had had to thaw our supply line, . and to reimburse us that amount. Thank you for your assistance in this matter! Sincerely, Kevin Miller Administrative Ministries Coordinator "St. Paul's is a compassionate community led and transformed by the Spirit" John W.

Green St. Ithaca, NY 14850 RE: Water bill forgiveness due to threat of frozen pipes Dear Mayor Myrick: RECEIVED Dept. of Public Works MAR 16 2015 Office of the Superintendent and Engineering Division I am writing to ask that the City forgive the part of my water bill over and above the $130 or so per quarter that reflects my usual water use. Since mid - February I have kept a tap open 24/7 with a thin stream of water running in a so -far successful effort to keep my pipes from freezing. I have every reason to think this precaution was necessary because my pipes did freeze last year in late February, as did my next door neighbor's (119 E. York), during a similar unprecedented cold spell. When the City came out to thaw them last year they said the blockage was between my house and the water main and that my pipes are buried at code depth. I figured it was a fluke — I've never had this problem before and neither have my neighbors. However, when it got to be mid - February 2015 and the cold proved unrelenting, I decided to keep a tap open 24/7. 1 was willing to incur this expense because I wished to eliminate all possibility of my pipes freezing again. However, now that my neighbors on each side and across the street have had their pipes freeze — on two separate occasions, in fact el ,c 1AA4,rX I no longer see my preventative measure as an optional expense and conside clear that the only reason my pipes didn't freeze as well was because I'd been running water. In fact, when the City came out to thaw my neighbors pipes on S 4y , a gentleman came into my house to make sure my water was, in fact, running, since I'm sure he found it hard to believe I still had water when my neighbors did not. Despite my open tap, I believe my pipes have been in danger of freezing: I often have low water pressure in the morning and even during the day on those occasions when no one is at home for more than a few hours. Therefore, since Mi I keep two or three taps open at night and I have increased the flow from a thin stream to a fatter stream — not knowing what else to do to keep my pipes open. Now that my neighbors have ALL LOST WATER FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO WEEKS, despite being thawed by the City once already, on February , knL,r , I am convinced that we are experiencing an unprecedented weather situation and that for this reason my efforts to keep my pipes open by running water continuously are entirely reasonable and, in fact, were not optional. Therefore, I expect that my entire water bill, beyond the $130 per quarter I normally pay, will be forgiven by the City. Another reason I am requesting forgiveness of my water bill (beyond my usual use) is that I have been supplying my neighbors with water — letting them fill jugs to take back to their homes and letting them bring their dirty dishes over here to wash; I have made my shower available. I had hoped last year's freeze was fluke, but now that it is happening again I hope the City engineers and planners will put their heads together about what measures can be taken to help people who lose water in the future. At some point this becomes a public health emergency: when people are without water day after day sanitation becomes difficult. As we all know, climate change is here and brings with it more weather extremes. A building code that was adequate for the past 100 years may not be for the future. Buying another generator, borrowing generators from surrounding communities, setting up water shelters — perhaps the City could contract with the YMCA or Island or the high school — where people could go to take showers, use the toilet and get bottled water— are all possibilities. If nothing else the city could at least ask the Y or Island or the School District to let affected households get free weeklong passes to use their showers, or provide some fast food coupons so people could eat out while waiting for the City to come thaw their pipes. Even free trash tags to help people dispose of paper plates they accumulate when they don't have water to wash dishes would be a help. would appreciate a response to my letter.

Resolution To Amend Vehicle and Traffic Schedule XII: Parking Prohibited at All Times and Schedule XX: Continuous Parkinq (aka "24 Hour Parking ") WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works is authorized by Section 346 -4 of the City Code to adopt and to amend a system of Schedules in order to administer the Vehicle and Traffic Law, and WHEREAS, the Office of the City Engineer proposes the installation of bicycle lanes in the 500 -1200 blocks of N. Cayuga St. as detailed in a memo to the BPW dated April 9, 2015, the plan for which necessitates the consolidation of on- street parking to the east side of the street in the 500 -1000 blocks and the elimination of all on- street parking in the 1100 -1200 blocks, and WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works concurs, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the following amendments to the Vehicle and Traffic Schedules shall be made: Schedule XII: Parking Prohibited at All Times Name of Street Side Location (From/To) Cayuga Street West Farm St. to Lincoln St. Cayuga Street Both Lincoln St. to City Line Schedule XX: Continuous Parking Name or Street Side Location Cayuga Street East From Marshall St. to Lincoln St. Page 7 of 11 CITY OF ITHACA 108 East Green Street Ithaca, New York 14850 -5690 OFFICE OF THE CITY E_11GINEER Telephone: 607/274 -6530 Fax: 607/274 -658; To: Board of Public Works From: Tim Logue, City Transportation Engineer Kent Johnson, Junior Transportation Engineer Date: April 9, 2015 Re: Consolidation of parking to allow for bike lane installation along N. Cayuga St. As discussed at the February 9th BPW meeting, the Department of Public Works will be repaving North Cayuga Street between Lincoln Street and Cascadilla Street this year and has the opportunity to install bike lanes as a component of this project. Due to existing curb -to -curb width, installing the bike lanes would require the consolidation of on- street parking to one side of the street. At the meeting, Commissioners expressed interest in this approach, and requested a media release soliciting public input, as well as additional information about parking impacts. Public support The City issued a media release on March 4th requesting comments on this issue; the Ithaca Journal (3/6/15) and Tompkins Weekly (3/9- 15/15) produced related articles. The City received 71 comments in support of installing the bike lanes /consolidating parking, and 15 comments in opposition. The comments in support included letters from the Ithaca - Tompkins County Transportation Council, BPAC, Bike Walk Tompkins, and Nick Goldsmith, City /Town Sustainability Coordinator. The comments will be emailed to Commissioners; they are 30 pages long and include some personal information from individuals. In general, people were simply in favor or discussed the importance of the City making the investment in bicycle infrastructure and the usefulness of Cayuga Street in travels. Comments against were not so much about the parking, but more so that there weren't many bicyclists or just didn't seem to be needed. Parking impact Along the segment of Cayuga Street under consideration (between Cascadilla St. and York St.), there are approximately 136 on- street parking spaces currently available; none of the spaces is metered. To install bike lanes and maintain minimum lane widths, parking needs to be consolidated on one side of the street. We recommend putting the parking on the east side for two reasons. First, it would retain the 5 on- street spaces fronting the businesses in the 500 block. Despite the fact that this is the only block with an imbalance of available on- street spaces (14 along the park and 5 along the businesses), we think it makes sense to maintain the spaces in front of the businesses for customer and deliveries; the parking along the park is mostly used by commuters parking for free. Additionally, all the businesses in that block have off - street parking. With the exception of this block, the number of on- street parking spaces on each side of the street is about even. Note: the two blocks north of Lincoln St. are slightly narrower and would require all parking to be removed so that safe bike lane and travel lane widths can be maintained; repaving is not scheduled for these two blocks, but bike lanes should be installed to Page 8 of 11 connect to the bike lanes that will be installed north of York St. as part of the Safe Routes to School project this summer. Second, considerably less traffic travels in the northbound direction along Cayuga Street and east -side parking would therefore present fewer conflicts with vehicles and bicycles. Our counts over the years show that the closer to downtown, the more imbalanced the volumes. Counts closer to the high school are more balanced. In the above scenario, over the eight city blocks, approximately 82 parking spaces (60 %) would be eliminated. Based on the parking occupancy data collected, there appears to be adequate on- street parking capacity to accommodate the existing demand along the east side of the street. With that said, the parking demand does fluctuate and it is anticipated that demand will surpass the available supply on occasion, particularly in the 500, 800, and 1100 blocks. In the 500 & 800 blocks, only a small number of on- street parking spaces are available along the east side of the street, but the adjacent 400, 600, 700, and 900 blocks appear to have adequate capacity to absorb excess demand from the 500 & 800 blocks. Additionally, side streets should be able to absorb any overflow. The 1100 block is too narrow to permit bike lanes with any on- street parking, but it is only lightly occupied so the adjacent streets should be able to absorb its low demand. Lastly, the vast majority of properties along North Cayuga Street have driveways and off - street parking. The collected parking occupancy data is attached. Recommendation Based on the approved Bicycle Plan, the project based opportunity, the public feedback, and the parking impact analysis, we recommend consolidating the parking to the east side of the street and installing bicycle lanes. Parking regulations would need to be modified. We suggest that the one hour parking limit in the 500 block be maintained and that the rest of the segment be signed for 24 hour limited parking. A resolution is attached to this effect. With the parking consolidated, we have just enough room to stripe two bike lanes. Our proposed section would allow for a 4 -foot bike lane southbound along the western curb, two 10 -foot travel lanes for motorists, a 5 -foot bike lane northbound, and a 7 -foot parking lane. As noted above, the blocks north of Lincoln Street are not wide enough to allow for on- street parking and bike lanes, so the recommendation is remove the parking to allow for two 6 -foot bike lanes and two 11 -foot travel lanes.
