Adjournment Yes Page 2 of 8 8A A Resolution to Establish Guidelines for the Repair or Reconstruction of Pedestrian Connections between the Sidewalk and the Street WHEREAS, around the City in many locations are pedestrian connections in the public right of way between the public sidewalk, which runs generally parallel with the street, and the street itself; these connections usually take the form of concrete slabs, steps, a staircase, or a ramp, and WHEREAS, it has been the policy and practice of the City that these connections are there for the private benefit of the adjacent property owner and are therefore the responsibility of the adjacent property owner, and WHEREAS, as a matter of practice, when the City sponsors a construction project that would modify these connections (and particularly when the connections are not in a state of good repair), the City has offered to rebuild the connection at the property owners cost, and WHEREAS, if the property owner declined this opportunity, the City would typically remove the connection as serving no public benefit, and WHEREAS, from time to time, adjacent property owners have appealed or will appeal that these connections serve some public purpose and ought to be reconstructed at the City's cost or in some cost sharing arrangement, and WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works desires to establish a set of criteria to assist in evaluating such appeals with the expectation that the criteria will provide guidance to staff, Board Commissioners, and the public, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works establishes the following criteria as guidance to assist in decision making in cases when an abutting property has appealed for City participation in the cost of repairing or reconstructing pedestrian connections between the public sidewalk and the street: • The City is sponsoring a construction project that affects an existing pedestrian connection as described above; • Due to the City project, there would otherwise be no pedestrian access to the street curb from the sidewalk due to a steep slope or retaining wall; • The vertical distance between the top of curb and sidewalk is at least 4 feet; • The proposed condition would otherwise have a longitudinal distance of more than 150 feet to some other pedestrian access to the street, such as a driveway apron, a set of stairs, a concrete slab, or a ramp; • The Police Chief and Fire Chief have agreed that the stairs would provide an emergency services benefit; • The Transportation Engineer has agreed that either a mid -block crossing is appropriate or that the construction of the stairs is not likely to lead to a significant pedestrian or traffic safety issue, and be it further Page 3 of 8 RESOLVED, That these criteria are not meant to be the exclusive criteria to be used in decision making and that other factors may be considered as needed, and be it further RESOLVED, That it is not the intention of the Board of Public Works to commit the City to future maintenance of such pedestrian connections should they be approved for one time funding and that it is the expectation of the Board that maintenance of the pedestrian connections will still be the responsibility of the abutting property owners in accordance with the City Code. Page 4 of 8 8131. Draft Resolution: Board of Public Works Concurrence that the Planning Board be Lead Agency in Environmental Review for the Proposed Residential Proiect at 323 Taughannock Blvd. WHEREAS, 6 NYCRR Part 617 of the State Environmental Quality Review Law and Chapter 176.6 of the City Code, Environmental Quality Review, require that a lead agency be established for conducting environmental review of projects in accordance with local and state environmental law, and WHEREAS, State Law specifies that, for actions governed by local environmental review, the lead agency shall be that local agency which has primary responsibility for approving and funding or carrying out the action, and WHEREAS, the City of Ithaca Planning and Development Board has one pending application for site plan approval for proposed residential project at 323 Taughannock Blvd the City of Ithaca, by Noah Demarest for Rampart Real LLC, and WHEREAS, the project involves approvals for a Planned Unit Development (PUD), subdivision, work on City property, and potentially disturbance to the banks and/or water of the Old Cayuga Inlet, and WHEREAS, the applicant is proposing construction of 8 attached townhomes on Inlet Island, on a 0.242 acre lot. The townhomes will contain up to 2 dwelling units each for a maximum total of 16 units with up to 24 bedrooms. The applicant is proposing zoning for the site that is identical to the City's adopted WF -2 zoning ordinance. The applicant proposes to subdivide the parcel such that each unit is on a unique parcel. The project includes an 8 space parking area that is accessed through the adjacent City -owned parking lot. The project includes some improvements to the city -owned parking lot- which will require approval by the Board of Public Works. The project also includes an asphalt walkway along the Old Cayuga Inlet, landscaping and lighting, and WHEREAS, this is a Type I Action under the City of Ithaca Environmental Quality Review Ordinance ("CEQRO") §176-4 (1) (h)[2] and (k) and the State Environmental Quality Review Act ("SEQRA") § 617.4 9 (b) (11) and is subject to environmental review, and WHEREAS, the BPW and Common Council, the Canal Corporation, NYS DEC and Tompkins County Department of Health have all been identified as potentially involved agencies in the environmental review of this project, and WHEREAS, it is the Planning Board's intention to act as Lead Agency for the environmental review of this project, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That BPW does hereby consent to the Planning & Development Board acting as Lead Agency in environmental review for the proposed project. Page 5 of 8 323 Taughannock Boulevard STREAM COLLABORATIVE City of Ithaca, New York Revised Date: 04.03.2017 Project Description The project involves the subdivision of the parcel and construction of 8 attached townhomes on Inlet Island, on a 0.242 acre (10,542sf) lot. The townhomes will contain up to 2 dwelling units each for a maximum total of 16 units with up to 24 bedrooms total. Site Improvements The site is currently occupied by a dilapidated vacant building. This building will be deconstructed (materials have already been salvaged by Finger Lakes ReUse). The site will be fully redeveloped with the new building in conformance with the pre- existing WF -2 requirements and the NYS building code. The site improvements will also enhance the public's waterfront access. Improvements to the NYS lands along the canal include the removal of asphalt pavement and installation of lawn and stone landscape stoops (no permanent foundation) to provide the residential units access to the public walkway. Three ornamental trees will be installed within the lawn areas of the NYS lands. Access to the public waterfront walkway will be improved with a continuation of an asphalt path along the City of Ithaca R.O.W. The existing city of Ithaca parking lot located immediately to the west of the property will be modified to relocate the existing driveway into a new 8 vehicle off street parking lot. Improvements to this City owned land includes the construction of a new granite curb and concrete sidewalk to form 9 new public parking spaces. The modifications to this City owned land involves the removal of 5 existing parking spaces so there will be a net increase of 4 new public parking spaces. Zoning Compliance The site falls within the temporary Planned Unit Development (PUD) area and requires a PUD application. The project has been designed to meet the previous WF -2 district which has a 3000sf lot size minimum and 30' lot width minimum for multi- family, and allows buildings to cover 100% of their lot. There was no greenspace requirement. The height allowance was 63' above grade plane. There were no setback requirements. Under the WF -2 zone the minimum floor to floor height was 12 feet from finished grade for the first floor, and upper floors were required to be 10 feet floor to floor minimum. The proposed building is set approximately 2 feet above the existing grade to be above the 100 year flood elevation but the floor to floor heights for all 3 floors is 10 feet due to the residential nature of the building. The raising of the building by 2 feet with an elevated walkway and stoop provides the effective appearance of a 12 foot tall ground floor. 8 parking spaces will be provided even though there was no off-street parking requirement in the WF -2 zone. The proposed building will occupy a 10,542sf lot with 148.36' frontage on Taughannock Blvd. It will cover 53.62% of the lot (5,653sf). The proposed building will be 3 stories in height with a pitched roof and a building height of approximately 40' above grade. More details for the proposed PUD will need to be developed in coordination with the City planning department. Program The project proposes a total of 8 townhomes each of which have 2 units on the property. There are (8) 2 -bedroom, 2 bath units occupying the 2nd and 3`d floors. There are also 8 ground floor units, each with a separate entrance designed as a 1 bath studio but can also be utilized as an office/live work area. Stormwater Because of the nature of the site as urban land, and its small size, there are no on-site stormwater facilities proposed, pending approval by the City's Stormwater Officer. Although not required, we will consider best practices for stormwater management prior to its entry into the storm sewer system. Landscape A planting plan will be developed to address the street edge, side and rear yards, such that these spaces are a lush experience with interest throughout the seasons. All plantings will be selected to be naturally drought tolerant with no irrigation installed, and manual watering only required during the period of initial plant establishment. Strong consideration will be given for native or naturalized plants. Site Lighting Building mounted lighting will be installed at building entries to allow for safe access to the building and contribute to a friendly night-time streetscape. All light fixtures will be sharp cut-off and dark -sky compliant. Utilities and Energy The water, sewer and electricity usage will be typical of residential development in the City of Ithaca and the current systems are more than capable of serving the new demand. Heating and cooling systems have not yet been designed but the goal is to minimize the use of fossil fuel burning systems. The project is pursuing net -zero energy incentives through NYSERDA. Combined with the possibility of off-site solar energy there is an opportunity for a truly net -zero project.

(1) Please demonstrate why this project can't move forward under existing zoning. Why should a PUD be a desirable way to regulate development on this site? Answer: The Project meets all pre-existing waterfront zoning requirements. (2) Will the project provide for public access pedestrian linkages (active recreation)? Answer: Yes. Access between buildings to waterfront promenade will be provided to the public with improve- ments. (3) What are the heights of buildings in this project? How do building masses and locations compare to each other and to other structures in the vicinity? Answer: Less than 40'+/-. Within pre-existing zoning requirements and less than the Lehigh Valley House, The Sign Works building, and Island Health and Fitness. (4) Are there available and adequate transportation systems within the PUD for pedestrians, bicycles, and motor vehicles, including transit? What is the impact on the external transportation network? Answer: Yes. Providing housing within the walkable portions of the city has an overall net positive impact on trans- portation systems when compared to projects located in auto -dependent areas. (5) What is the character of the neighborhood in which the PUD is being proposed? Are there safeguards provided to minimize possible detrimental effects of the proposed use on adjacent properties and the neighborhood in general? Answer: The existing character is waterfront commercial with no existing housing north of Taughannock Boule- vard. The project meets the stated goals of the Comprehensive Plan to increase opportunities for housing within mixed-use neighborhoods. (6) How do the proposed open space and recreational systems function within the PUD and in relation to the City's overall open space and recreational systems? Answer: The project enhances access to the Waterfront for both residents and the public. (7) What is the general ability of the land to support the development, including such factors as slope, depth to bedrock, depth to water table and soil type? Answer: Despite poor soils and proximity to the water table the project is being engineered to support the pro- posed 3 stories on a wood pile system. (8) What potential impacts are there on environmental, historical, and architectural resources? Does the proposed PUD serve to protect these resources? Answer: No negative impacts. The project will enhance the architectural character of the island by drawing on cer- tain existing commercial, architectural and historical elements. (9) What potential impacts are there on local government services? Answer: No negative impacts on government services. The project will significantly increase the city tax base to support existing government services. (10) Is there available and adequate water service? Answer: Yes (11) Is there available and adequate sewer service? Answer: Yes (12) Will the PUD provide several of the community benefits listed below that contribute to making the project a long-term asset for the community? Answer: Yes 323 Taughannock Blvd - 4 of 5 Potential Community Benefits Resulting from the PUD Project (1) What will be the increase to the tax roll value of new real property? Answer: $2-3 Million +/- (2) How many FTE jobs will be created as a result of the project? Will the project result in job creation of positions that pay at least a living wage? Answer: Zero anticipated but the live/work units may provide opportunities for jobs. (3) Will the project result in job creation of which at least 51% will be held by persons earning 80% or less of Area Median Income? Answer: No (4) Will the applicant provide affordable housing at rents that do not exceed Fair Market Rents occupied by households earning no more than 80% of Area Median Income, adjusted for family size (must determine duration)? Answer: No (5) Will the project fill vacant store fronts? Answer: Yes, in that the project replaces a long time vacant building with opportunities for live/work units. (6) Will the project involve environmental remediation? Answer: No (7) Is the project a historic preservation project (in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's standards)? Answer: No (8) Will the project be assisting/contracting/renting to MWBEs? Answer: Possibly (9) Will the project provide free (reduced cost) community space in the project (for example to a 501c3 non-profit)? Answer: No (10) Will the project produce large-scale alternative energy, local energy or combined heat/power that results in a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emission? Answer: No (11) Will the project result in high tech job creation? Answer: No (12) Does the project contain the redevelopment of a Brownfield site? Answer: No (13) Will this project provide any other community wide benefits? Answer: The project creates housing to help meet the current demand and significantly increases the tax base. It also removes an eyesore vacant building and enhances the public's waterfront experience. 323 Taughannock Blvd - 5 of 5 FULL ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM (FEAF) PART 1—PROJECT INFORMATION (prepared by project sponsor/applicant) NOTICE: This document is designed to assist in determining whether the action proposed may have a significant effect on the environment.

A Proposed Resolution to Declare Lead Agency Status for the Environmental Review of the West Martin Luther King Jr. Street Corridor Enhancements Project WHEREAS, the State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEAR) and the City of Ithaca Environmental Quality Review Ordinance (CEQR), Section 176 of the City Code, require that a lead agency be established for conducting environmental review of projects in accordance with local and state environmental law, and WHEREAS, State Law specifies that for actions governed by local environmental review, the lead agency shall be that local agency which has primary responsibility for approving and funding or carrying out the action, and WHEREAS, SEQR and CEQR both provide for an uncoordinated review for "Unlisted" projects that involve more than one agency, and WHEREAS, the proposed construction of the West Martin Luther King Jr. Street Corridor Enhancements project (PIN 395050, Capital Project # 790) is a "Unlisted" action under SEQR and is an "Unlisted" action under CEQR; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the City of Ithaca Board of Public Works does hereby declare itself lead agency for the environmental review of the proposed construction of the West Martin Luther King Jr. Street Corridor Enhancements project. Page 7 of 8 9D. Environmental Review for West Martin Luther King Jr. Street Corridor Enhancements aroiect WHEREAS, the Board of Public Works has declared itself to be the lead agency for the environmental review for a project ("the Project") entitled "West Martin Luther King Jr. Street Corridor Enhancements" (PIN 395050, CP 790) in accordance with Section 176 of the Ithaca City Code (CEQR) and in accordance with Article 8 of the New York State Environmental Conservation Law (SEAR), and WHEREAS, the Project includes construction or reconstruction of walkways, bikeways, driveways, intersections, and traffic control to enhance conditions for people walking and biking in the corridor, and WHERAS, the Project is an Unlisted action according to CEQR and an Unlisted Action according to SEQR, and WHERAS, a Short Environmental Assessment form was prepared by staff for CEQR and for SEQR, and WHERAS, on April , 2017, the Board of Public Works declared itself lead agency for an uncoordinated environmental review for CEQR/SEQR, and WHEREAS, the Conservation Advisory Council has received a copy of the CEQR/SEQR short forms and a set of plans for the project, and WHERAS, the Board of Public Works, acting as lead agency, has, on April , 2017, reviewed and accepted as complete Short Environmental Assessment Forms prepared by staff, and Project plans prepared on behalf of the City by C&S Engineers, and other project materials, now therefore be it RESOLVED, That the Board of Public Works determines that the project for West Martin Luther King Jr. Street Corridor Enhancements located in the City of Ithaca will result in no significant negative environmental impact and that a Negative Declaration for purposes of Article 8 of the NYS Environmental Conservation Law be filed in accordance with the provisions of Part 617 of the State Environmental Quality Review Act and that a Negative Declaration for purposes of Section 176 of the City Code be filed in accordance with the City Environmental Quality Review Ordinance.

A resolution to declare lead agency for the environmental review of the West Martin Luther King Jr. Street Corridor Enhancements project. 2. Preliminary plans for the project showing two alternatives 3. Excerpts from the draft design report (pages 2-2 to 2-6, a memo from Doug Stansbury to me dated 11/14/16, and pages 3-1 to 3-13); the complete draft design'report is posted on the City's website. 4. Short Environmental Assessment Forms (one for the State Environmental Quality Review and one for the City Environmental Quality Review) 5. A proposed resolution to declare that the project will have no significant adverse environmental impact. I am proposing that the environmental review for this project be conducted as an uncoordinated review. Both SEQR and CEQR provide for this manner of review provided that the action is an Unlisted Action and provided that the action is not determined to have a significant negative impact on the environment. If during the uncoordinated review, the lead agency determines that the action will have a significant negative impact, then it must coordinate with other involved agencies. My list of involved agencies includes: Common Council, NYSDOT, and the Federal Highway Administration. Based on previous experience, it does not seem likely that any of these agencies would like to be the lead agency, so it seems reasonable to proceed with an uncoordinated review.

Transportation Plans This project is on the approved Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) as project No. 3950.50. 2.2.2.5. Abutting Highway Segments and Future Plans for Abutting Highway Segments 2 Abutting Highway Segments: NYS Route 79 continues to the east and west of the project area. It extends across the City of Ithaca and Tompkins County to the east to connect with Tioga County and Broome county, and ultimately leads into Pennsylvania. To the west Route 79 connects with Schyler County and terminates at Route 414 near Watkins Glen. West MLK Jr. Street becomes Hector Street west of Floral Avenue and East State Street or East Martin Luther Kina. Jr. Street east of Cavuoa Street. West Seneca Street is a two-lane, one-way westbound street that connects North Fulton Street (NYS Route 13) and westbound traffic from downtown, to West MLK Jr. Street. West Seneca Street intersects West MLK Jr. Street at an acute skew angle and carries heavy traffic volume, making it challenging to make right turns onto West MLK Jr. Street. Hector Street continues west of the project area as a two lane curbed city street with sidewalk on the north side of the street. West MLK Jr. Street continues east of the project area as a three -lane curbed city street with two eastbound lanes and one westbound lane. Sidewalks are provided on both sides of the street. Floral Avenue (NYS Route 13A) intersects West MLK Jr. Street on the west side of the Flood Control Channel Bridge and runs south to reconnect with NYS Route 13. Floral Avenue serves as a bypass to the busy Route 13 commercial corridor along the southwest corner of Ithaca. Future Plans for Abutting Highway Segments: The city is progressing a concurrent design project (PIN 3756.11) to replace the existing Brindley Street Bridge over Cayuga Inlet on a new alignment to the east. The relocated Brindley Street would intersect West MLK Jr. Street opposite Taughannock Boulevard, creating a four-way signalized intersection. The existing Brindley Street roadway and bridge would be converted to bicycle and pedestrian use only. This project is scheduled for construction in 2018, concurrent with this project. 2.3 Transportation Conditions, Deficiencies and Engineering Considerations 2.3.1. Operations (Traffic and Safety) & Maintenance 2.3.1.1. Functional Classification and National Highway System (NHS) Route(s) West MLK Jr. Street (aka West State Street / NYS Route 79 Functional Classification Urban Minor Arterial National Highway System No NHS Designated Truck Access Yes Route Qualifying No Hi hwa Within 1 mile (1.6 km) of No a Qualifying High Within the 16'(4.9 m) vertical clearance No network 2-2 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 2.3.1.2. Control of Access There is no right-of-way access control within the project limits. Access is controlled by curb cuts along both sides of the roadway and guide railing in the vicinity of the Flood Control Channel Bridge. There are seven driveways along West MLK Jr. Street within the project limits with wider than typical openings for minor commercial access. 2.3.1.3. Traffic Control Devices The following intersection within the project limits is controlled by a traffic signal: • West MLK Jr. Street (West State Street) / Taughannock Boulevard: a three-way (with a commercial driveway as a signalized fourth approach), three -color mast arm signal Exhibit 2.3.1.3-1 Traffic Signal at West MLK Jr. Street (West State Street) / Taughannock Boulevard New York State Department of Transportation maintenance jurisdiction. Pole mounted controller in NW quadrant. Mast arm Type of Controller / signal poles in SW, NE and SE quadrants. Dual 12" LED Signal indications. Pedestrian signal pole in SW quadrant. Pushbuttons, countdown timers and audible indications are provided. Type of Actuation Semi -actuated Coordination with Coordinated, part of NYSDOT's coordinated signal network other Signals along Fulton and Meadow Streets (NYS Routes 13, 34 and 96) Number and Type of Two phases: Taughannock southbound left/right permissive; Phases West MLK Jr. eastbound/westbound left/through/right permissive. Pedestrian indications, push buttons, audible indications and Pedestrian signs provided across all legs. Type S Standard crosswalk Accommodations markings and curb ramps provided. Deficiencies, Including Signal conforms to latest guidelines and warrants. Curb ramps Lack of Conformance do not conform to current ADAAG/PROWAG accessibility with Latest Guidelines guidelines (missing detectable warning surfaces). and Warrants The remaining two intersections within the project limits are controlled by stop signs on the intersecting street approaches: • Floral Ave (NYS Route 13A) / West MLK Jr. Street (West State Street) — Stop sign control on Floral Avenue, uncontrolled on West MLK Jr. • West Seneca Street / Brindley Street / West MLK Jr. Street (West State Street) — Stop sign control on West Seneca and Brindley, uncontrolled on West MLK Jr. The Brindley approach may be downgraded to a driveway with the relocation of Brindley Street to the Taughannock Boulevard intersection. Pavement markings and other traffic signs are the remaining extent of traffic control devices for this project. Traffic signs are generally in good condition and are not in need of replacement. 2.3.1.4. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) There is no ITS system in operation or planned for the project area. 2-3 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 2.3.1.5. Traffic Volumes This project is classified as a Transportation Enhancement Project. Appendix 8-9 of the LAFAP manual recommends a design year traffic forecast of the estimated time of completion (ETC) for this type of project. Treatments for enhancement projects can generally have service lives greater than eight years if it includes pavement preventative maintenance, and therefore a design year traffic forecast of ETC+10 is recommended for this project. The traffic data was obtained from The City of Ithaca's Brindley Street Bridge Project PIN 3756.11, Floral Avenue All -way Stop Study and a NYSDOT signal warrant analysis study at the intersection of West MLK Jr. Street, West Seneca Street and Brindley Street. Refer to Appendix C of this report for traffic flow diagrams. Exhibit 2.3.1.5 below provides a summary of the daily traffic volume on West MLK Jr. Street. 24-hour traffic counts were collected with automatic traffic recorders (ATRs) for West MLK Jr. Street (West State Street / NYS Route 79) by NYSDOT in 2014. The traffic data was collected from August 41h to 71h in 2014 at a location 110 feet northwest of West Seneca Street. Historical data was obtained from NYSDOT for station 360474 located in the middle of the corridor between two ATR counts from 2009 and 2014. The historical data indicated a minimal growth rate of 0.2%. Therefore, for the purpose of this analysis and report, 0.2% growth rate was used for future volume projections. Growth rate calculations are included in Appendix C. Exhibit 2.3.1.5 includes existing and future design year traffic volumes for this project.

The Floral Avenue Study and NYSDOT counts were also used to determine turning movement volumes at the Floral Avenue intersection. The weekday afternoon peak hour was found to occur between 4:30 and 5:30 p.m. and this was also the peak travel hour for the day and was therefore used as the design hour for this project. Under the Brindley Street Bridge project, Brindley Street will be realigned opposite Taughannock Boulevard and therefore, traffic volumes for Brindley Street will be relocated to the Taughannock Boulevard intersection. Turning movements at the West Seneca Street Taughannock Boulevard intersections are adjusted accordingly for the estimated time of completion and future design year. Peak hour turning movement diagrams for existing conditions and for future years incorporating the realigned Brindley Street are included in Appendix C. 2-4 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 2.3.1.6. Speeds and Delay A travel time study was conducted in April 2016 to determine average travel times through the project corridor, both westbound and eastbound, during different time periods of an average weekday. The time periods studied included the morning (AM) peak, the midday peak, the afternoon (PM) peak, as well as the off-peak period. A total of 85 travel time runs were collected thought the corridor using GPS data collection methods. During the off-peak period, the average eastbound travel time through the corridor between Floral Avenue and Taughannock Boulevard was 45 seconds eastbound and 28 seconds westbound. The somewhat longer eastbound travel time is due to stops at Taughannock Boulevard, whereas westbound travel is essentially unhindered. The midday travel runs had essentially no delay, and were actually faster than the off-peak travel runs, averaging 25 seconds westbound and 24 seconds eastbound. The PM peak travel runs were essentially the same (29 seconds) as off peak for the westbound direction and approximately 10 seconds longer (56 seconds) than off peak for the eastbound direction. The AM travel runs were also about the same as off peak for the westbound direction, but were approximately 20 seconds longer for the eastbound direction. There were also some stoppages noted in the eastbound direction between the flood control channel bridge and the Taughannock Boulevard intersection. This occurred for about half of the AM eastbound travel runs. The longest AM eastbound travel run was 2 minutes in duration due to the heavy commuter traffic volume, but there were also some that were less than 30 seconds, which is similar to the off peak travel time. Stops west of the West Seneca/Brindley intersection were not observed for any of the other travel time periods. Exhibit 2.3.1.6a shows the results of the travel time study. The travel time study conducted for this project revealed that there is no significant delay traveling through the corridor during off-peak, midday peak or PM peak travel hours. There is some delay for the eastbound direction during morning peak hour and there are occasional stops west of the West Seneca/Brindley intersection, but the overall average eastbound travel time during the morning peak hour is approximately one minute, which is only 30 seconds longer than during other times of the day. Complete results of the travel time study are included in Appendix C.

Speeds within the project limits are regulated by the Taughannock Blvd signalized intersection on the south and free on the north. Operating speeds are expected to remain unchanged after the project is completed. 2-5 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 Exhibit - 2.3.1.6b Speed Data Route West MLK Jr. Street West MLK Jr. Street & Taughannock Boulevard (Average) West State Street / NYS Route 79 Existing Speed Limit (mph) 30 mph Operating Speed and Method 35 mph (85th percentile) measured by NYSDOT Traffic Count Used to Measure Station 360474, from 10/6/09 to 10/12/09 2.3.1.7. Level of Service A level of service (LOS) analysis was conducted using Synchro 9 which is based on the methods described in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM), for the three intersections within the project limits. The LOS analysis was conducted for the evening (PM) peak hour. Existing traffic signal operations were obtained from The City of Ithaca's Brindley Bridge Project PIN 3756.11, Floral Ave Study and NYSDOT Synchro files. The analysis includes one signalized intersection West MLK Jr. Street at Taughannock Boulevard, and two unsignalized stop controlled intersections: West MLK Jr. Street at Floral Avenue/ Hector Street and West MLK Jr. Street at West Seneca /Brindley Street. The signal at Taughannock Blvd is an actuated uncoordinated signal and is maintained and operated by NYSDOT. The existing LOS for the segment of West MLK Jr. Street is summarized in Exhibit 2.3.1.7. Detailed LOS and capacity analysis results are included in Appendix C.

The purpose of this study was to determine if there are significant delays or stoppages that occur on a regular basis that could be compounded by this project which may include a road diet where one or more travel lanes would be eliminated. The following is a summary of the findings of this study. These results will also be included in the Design Report for the project. Methodology To collect data for the travel time runs, GPS technology was utilized, consisting of a mobile cell phone application, Easy GPS Logger by Leafdigital. The application uses GPS location features that are inherent within the cell phone to log positional data points at one second intervals while it is running. Using the application is a simple process of starting the application at the beginning of the travel run, and then stopping it at the end of the run, similar to starting and stopping a stopwatch. The data collected includes position by longitude and latitude, elevation, distance from prior point, total distance, date and time, speed, heading and elapsed time. The data is stored in a gpx file format which is a global positioning system (GPS) file type. The raw gpx data file from the phone application is imported into Google My Maps to display the travel time route and determine begin and end points for the travel run. The map view also shows clusters of data points which represents stoppages in the travel run. In the case of this study, the segment is the project corridor between the intersections of Floral Avenue and Taughannock Boulevard. The gpx data file is also easily converted to an Excel file using Global Mapper (or other GPS software) for summary and analysis. Results A total of 85 travel time runs through the corridor were collected between Friday, April 15 and Friday, April 22, 2016. Three (3) were collected via bicycle and one travel run was not used in the summary because of an unusually long delay related to a lumber vehicle delivery. Of the 81 useable vehicular travel time runs, 36 were collected during the AM peak hour, 8 during the midday peak hour, 16 during the PM peak hour and 21 during off peak hours. There was a mixture of eastbound and westbound runs. Following is a summary of the travel runs distribution: Travel Time Runs Direction AM Peak idadk y Pe PM Peak Off -Peak Total Eastbound 19 4 7 10 40 Westbound 17 1 4 9 11 41 Total 36 1 8 1 16 21 181 During the off-peak period, the average eastbound travel time through the corridor between Floral Avenue and Taughannock Boulevard was 45 seconds eastbound and 28 seconds westbound. The somewhat longer eastbound travel time is due to stops at Taughannock Boulevard, whereas westbound travel is essentially unhindered. The midday travel runs had essentially no delay, and were actually faster than the off-peak travel runs, averaging 25 seconds westbound and 24 seconds eastbound. The PM peak travel runs were essentially the same (29 seconds) as off peak for the westbound direction and approximately 10 seconds longer (56 seconds) than off peak for the eastbound direction. The AM travel runs were also about the same as off peak for the westbound direction, but were approximately 20 seconds longer for the eastbound direction. There were also some stoppages noted in the eastbound direction between the flood control channel bridge and the Taughannock Boulevard intersection. This occurred for about half of the AM eastbound travel runs. The longest AM eastbound travel run was 2 minutes in duration, but there were also some that were less than 30 seconds which is in line with the off peak travel time. Stops west of the West Seneca/Brindley intersection were not observed for any of the other travel time periods. The bicycle travel time through the corridor (only eastbound data collected) was approximately 50 seconds.Complete travel time results are shown in the attached table. Conclusions The travel time study conducted for the West MLK Jr. Corridor Enhancement Project revealed that there is no significant delay traveling through the corridor during off-peak, midday peak or PM peak travel hours. There is some delay for the eastbound direction during morning peak hour and there are occasional stops west of the West Seneca/Brindley intersection, but the overall average eastbound travel time during the morning peak hour is approximately one minute, which is only 30 seconds longer than during other times of the day.

March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 CHAPTER 3 - ALTERNATIVES This chapter discusses the alternatives consider=ed and examines the engineering aspects for all feasible alternatives to address project objectives identified in Chapter 1 of this report. 3.1. Alternatives Considered and Eliminated from Further Study The Bridge Widening Alternative (Alternative 3) would involve widening the existing West MLK Jr. Street Bridge over the Flood Control Channel by 8 feet to the south to provide a 13' wide multiuse trail in place of the existing 5' south sidewalk while maintaining the existing 48' roadway width and four travel lanes. This would require adding an additional girder to the three spans of the bridge. This alternative was eliminated because of cost considerations. The cost for Alternative 3 is over three times greater than Alternative 1, which would also provide a 13' wide multiuse trail in place of the existing 5' south sidewalk by narrowing the roadway width to 38 feet (three lanes). The No -Build or "Null" Alternative (Alternative 4) would result in retention of the curbside, narrow sidewalks along West MLK Jr. Street, pedestrians continuing to cross the street at uncontrolled midblock locations between intersections, and maintaining the existing geometry of the West MLK Jr. Street / West Seneca Street / Brindley Street / Pete's Grocery driveway intersection that experiences an above-average accident rate and motorists appear to find confusing. Since this alternative will not satisfy the project objectives, it is not considered a feasible alternative, but will be used for comparison with the feasible alternatives for the purpose of evaluating impacts. 3.2. Feasible Build Alternatives 3.2.1. Description of Feasible Alternatives Alternative 1— Multi -use Path: This alternative for West MLK Jr. Street consists of reducing the pavement and width and number of travel lanes to increase the south sidewalk width between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street to develop a multi -use pedestrian and bicycle path. A westbound bike lane would be provided between West Seneca Street and Floral Avenue and eastbound bikes would share the eastbound travel lane or use the multi -use path. A signalized, protected mid -block pedestrian crossing on the east side of the Flood Control Channel Bridge would be installed, and a new traffic signal would be installed at the Floral Avenue intersection. Geometric and delineation improvements at the West MLK Jr. Street/West Seneca Street/Brindley Street/Pete's Grocery driveway intersection and providing a single course mill and overlay pavement treatment from Floral Avenue to Taughannock Boulevard would also be included. Key elements of this alternative include: Geometry Reducing the curb to curb pavement width on the bridge over the Flood Control Channel from 48' to 41' and increasing the south sidewalk width from 5' to 10' to provide a multi -use path across the bridge. A concrete barrier would be installed between Floral Avenue and the proposed mid -block pedestrian crossing on the east side of the bridge. Between the crossing and West Seneca Street, the curb and sidewalk would be bumped out 7' into the roadway to accommodate continuation of the multi -use path. Realigning both approaches of West Seneca Street to intersect West MLK Jr. Street at right angles, eliminating the common intersection of these two approaches, and providing separate intersections spaced 80 feet apart. The south approach (Brindley Street) would be downgraded to a minor commercial driveway since Brindley Street is being relocated to the Taughannock Boulevard intersection under PIN 3756.11 and the driveway to Pete's Grocery would be shifted approximately 16' to the west to improve turning movements in this area. 3-1 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 Operational Changing the operation of the roadway between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street from two travel lanes eastbound and westbound to one travel lane eastbound and one travel lane westbound with a center left turn lane for Floral Avenue westbound and Pete's Grocery eastbound. A westbound bike lane would also be installed between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street. • Adding a new midblock pedestrian crosswalk between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street controlled by a pedestrian -actuated traffic signal. The traffic signal would be a hi -intensity activated crosswalk (HAWK) signal that would require approaching vehicles to stop for crossing pedestrians. • Installing a new traffic signal at the Floral Avenue intersection will improve operations at this intersection for vehicles approaching from Floral Avenue and Elm Street and will provide a protected means for pedestrians to cross Hector Street/West MLK Jr. Street at this location. Control of • There will continue to be no right-of-way control of access. Access . The commercial driveway curb cut for Trombley Tire and Auto Service will be reduced by approximately 15 feet in width to accommodate the relocated sidewalk curb ramp at West Seneca Street. • The commercial driveways to Just Be Cause, State Farm Insurance and Mama Teresa's Pizza will also be somewhat reduced to between 20' and 24'. • The commercial driveway to Pete's Grocery would be shifted 16' to the west. • As mentioned under geometry, Brindley Street would be downgraded to a minor commercial driveway for Ithaca Grain and Pet Supply and the offices at 1001 West Seneca Street, the Sign Works Building. Right of Way • There are no right of way impacts associated with this alternative. Environmental • There are no environmental impacts associated with this project. See Section 4 of this report for more environmental discussion. Cost • Total estimated construction cost of this alternative is $700,000 (2016 dollars). Project Goals These improvements meet the overall objectives of improving the level of safety and comfort of pedestrians and bicyclists traveling along West MLK Jr. Street, enabling pedestrians to safely and conveniently cross West MLK Jr. Street between the bridge over the Flood Control Channel and West Seneca Street, and providing improved geometry and lane delineation at the West MLK Jr. Street/West Seneca Street/Brindley Street/Pete's Grocery driveway intersection. Alternative 2 — Sidewalk Widening and Bike Lanes: This alternative for West MLK Jr. Street consists of reducing the pavement and width and number of travel lanes to increase the south sidewalk width between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street and providing both westbound and eastbound bike lanes between West Seneca Street and Floral Avenue. The westbound bike lane would continue to the Taughannock Boulevard intersection. A signalized, protected mid -block pedestrian crossing on the east side of the Flood Control Channel Bridge would be installed, and a new traffic signal would be installed at the Floral Avenue intersection. Geometric and delineation improvements at the West MLK Jr. Street/West Seneca Street/Brindley Street/Pete's Grocery driveway intersection and providing a single course mill and overlay pavement treatment from Floral Avenue to Taughannock Boulevard would also be included. Key elements of this alternative include: 3-2 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 Geometry Reducing the pavement width on the bridge over the Flood Control Channel from 48' to 43' and increasing the south sidewalk width from 5' to 10'. The curb and sidewalk would be bumped out 5' into the roadway to accommodate the widened sidewalk. The roadway between the bridge and West Seneca Street would also be narrowed to provide the wider sidewalk. • Realigning the West Seneca Street and Brindley Street intersections to intersect West MLK Jr. Street at right angles. Eliminating the common intersection of these two streets on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street and providing separate intersections spaced 80 feet apart. Operational Changing the operation of the roadway between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street from two travel lanes eastbound and westbound to one travel lane with a bike lane in both directions and a center left turn lane for Floral Avenue and Pete's Grocery. • Adding a new midblock pedestrian crosswalk between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street controlled by a pedestrian -actuated traffic signal. The traffic signal would be a hi -intensity activated crosswalk (HAWK) signal that would require approaching vehicles to stop for crossing pedestrians. • Installing a new traffic signal at the Floral Avenue intersection will improve operations at this intersection for vehicles approaching from Floral Avenue and Elm Street and will provide a protected means for pedestrians to cross Hector Street/West MLK Jr. Street at this location. Control of • There will continue to be no right-of-way control of access. Access • The commercial driveway curb cut for Trombley Tire and Auto Service will be reduced by about 15 feet in width to accommodate the relocated sidewalk curb ramp at West Seneca Street. • The commercial driveways to Just Be Cause, State Farm Insurance and Mama Teresa's Pizza will also be somewhat reduced to between 20' and 24'. • The commercial driveway to Pete's Grocery would be shifted 16' to the west. Right of Way • There are no right of way impacts associated with this alternative. Environmental • There are no environmental impacts associated with this project. See Section 4 of this report for more environmental discussion. Cost • Total estimated construction cost of this alternative is $612,000 (2016 dollars). Project Goals • These improvements meet the overall objectives of improving the level of safety and comfort of pedestrians and bicyclists traveling along West MLK Jr. Street, enabling pedestrians to safely and conveniently cross West MLK Jr. Street between the bridge over the Flood Control Channel and West Seneca Street, and providing improved geometry and lane delineation at the West MLK Jr. Street / West Seneca Street / Brindley Street / Pete's Grocery driveway intersection.

(2) Brindley Street, which will be relocated as part of the Brindley Bridge Project. The former Brindley Street will be downgraded to a minor commercial driveway which needs to accommodate an occasional WB -40 tractor trailer vehicle for deliveries to the Ithaca Grain and Pet Supply Store. 3.3. Engineering Considerations 3.3.1. Operations (Traffic and Safety) & Maintenance 3.3.1.1. Functional Classification and National Highway System This project will not change the functional classification of the highway. 3.3.1.2. Control of Access Right-of-way access to the highway will remain uncontrolled. Driveway access control will remain, but some openings will be reduced in width. The 60' wide driveway curb cut to Trombley Tire and Auto Service at Station ML 21+00 RT will be reduced by about 15 feet in width to accommodate the relocated sidewalk curb ramp at West Seneca Street. This can be done without adversely impacting access to the garage doors and parking on this property. Three other driveways to Just Be Cause, State Farm Insurance and Mama Teresa's Pizza will be reduced in width to 20 to 24'. The driveway to Pete's Grocery will be shifted approximately 16' to the west. With the relocation of Brindley Street to the Taughannock Boulevard intersection, the former Brindley Street will be downgraded to a minor commercial driveway under Alternative 1 serving the Ithaca Grain and Pet Supply and the offices at 1001 West Seneca Street, the Sign Works building. 3.3.1.3. Traffic Control Devices 3.3.1.3. (1) Traffic Signals No modifications to the existing State-owned mast arm traffic signal at the West MLK Jr. Street/Taughannock Boulevard intersection are proposed. A new pedestrian -actuated traffic signal is proposed for the new mid -block pedestrian crossing at Station ML 16+60. A HAWK signal system, which like a railroad crossing remains dark (unlit) until activated by a pedestrian pushbutton, will be considered for this installation. 3-6 March 2017 Draft Des -!- n Report PIN 3950.50 A new semi -actuated traffic signal will be installed at the intersection of Floral Avenue and West MLK Jr. Street/Hector Street under either of the feasible alternatives, including pedestrian signal accommodations for crossing West MLK Jr. Street/Hector Street. The installation will be a mast arm system with a protected/permissive left turn indication for the westbound left turn from West MLK Jr. Street to Floral Avenue. Pedestrian signal controls will include audible indications and countdown timers. 3.3.1.3.(2) Signs The existing traffic signs are in good condition and will be retained where appropriate. New signs will be added where required by current standards. 3.3.1.3. (3) Pavement Markings New pavement markings will be provided throughout the project length delineating the new lane configuration planned for West MLK Jr. Street. Hi -intensity crosswalk pavement markings will be used for the new signal -protected pedestrian crossing. 3.3.1.4. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) No ITS measures are proposed under this project. 3.3.1.5. Speeds and Delay 3.3.1.5. (1) Proposed Speed Limit The existing posted speed limit of 30 mph will be retained upon completion of the project. Speeds are not expected to be significantly affected by either of the feasible alternatives, although should be somewhat reduced with the implementation of narrower travel lanes and a reduction in the number of travel lanes from 2 to 1. Narrower travel lanes have been shown to have a traffic calming (speed reducing) effect on motorists. Refer to Section 2.3.1.5 for posted and existing operating speeds. 3.3.1.5.(2) Travel Time Estimates The feasible alternatives will not significantly affect travel times through the project corridor, although may be marginally longer with reduced speeds through traffic calming measures that are planned as part of the feasible alternatives. The reduction in the number of travel lanes will not impact travel times because travel through the corridor is still controlled eastbound by the traffic signal at Taughannock Boulevard and westbound will still have a dedicated left turn lane for Floral Avenue. Refer to Section 2.3.1.5 for current average travel times through the project corridor. 3.3.1.6. Traffic Volumes Since there are no anticipated changes in traffic volumes, see Section 2.3.1.6 for existing and projected traffic volumes. Refer to Appendix C for traffic flow diagrams. Refer to Exhibits 2.3.1.5 for a summary of the traffic data. 3.3.1.7. Level of Service and Mobility 3.3.1.7 (1) At Project Completion & Design Year A level of service (LOS) capacity analysis was conducted using Synchro 9 for the estimated time of completion and design year for the three intersections within the project limits. The LOS analysis was conducted for the evening (PM) peak hour which is the design peak hour for a typical weekday. The analysis takes into consideration the road diet proposed under each of the two feasible alternatives. The analysis results are the same for each alternative since the proposed lane configurations at each of the intersections is the same under both alternatives. The analysis also incorporates the planned relocation of Brindley Street to the Taughannock Boulevard intersection, which will occur with the Brindley Street bridge Project. The 3-7 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 results of this analysis is shown below in Exhibit 3.3.1.7. Existing LOS as discussed under Section 2.3.1.7 of this report is repeated here for comparison. Exhibit 3.3:1.7 :.

All approaches will operate at LOS C or better and the intersection average level of service will be LOS C. This project in itself has no impact on the future operations at this intersection. The West Seneca Street/former Brindley Street intersection level of service will improve with the realignment of Brindley Street to an average LOS C for the intersection. The West Seneca westbound approach however will continue to operate at LOS F due to heavy conflicting and uncontrolled westbound traffic on West MLK Jr. Street. The average intersection level of service at the Floral Avenue intersection will drop from LOS A under both alternatives to LOS B at ETC and the design year of ETC+10. This drop in the average intersection level of service is due to the installation of a traffic signal at this intersection and the sacrifice of some delay being added to the eastbound and westbound movements for the Hector and West MLK Jr. Street approaches to improve operations for the Floral Avenue approach. Floral Avenue level of service will improve from the existing LOS E to LOS B. w3 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 3.3.1.7 (2) Work Zone Safety & Mobility A. Work Zone Traffic Control Plan - Traffic will be maintained on the existing roadway alignment, and the construction will be phased. Two-way continuous traffic will be maintained at all times, except for occasional alternating single lane traffic with flagger control at times of paving. Routes for emergency vehicles will be maintained and open during construction. Pedestrian traffic will be maintained during construction using existing or temporary sidewalks and will be detoured where necessary. Pedestrian access through the corridor will be maintained through construction. Bicycle traffic will utilize vehicular travel lanes during construction. Work zone traffic control details will be prepared and evaluated during final design. B. Special Provisions - Due to the ability to generally maintain traffic with acceptable delays during the daylight hours, night time construction will not be utilized. The work zone traffic control will need to be coordinated with city officials, Tompkins Consolidated Area Transit (TCAT), and business owners. C. Significant Projects (per 23 CFR 630.1010) - This project is not considered a significant project per 23 CFR 630.1010. A Transportation Management Plan (TMP) will be prepared for the project consistent with 23 CFR 630.1012. The TMP will consist of a Temporary Traffic Control (TTC) plan. Transportation Operations (TO) and Public Information (PI) components of a TMP will be considered during final design. 3.3.1.8. Safety Considerations, Accident History and Analysis Under both feasible alternatives, the potential for accidents is expected to decrease along the project corridor with the implementation of the proposed road diet, the installation of the protected signalized pedestrian crossing and the provision of dedicated bicycle facilities for bike traffic. Speeds are expected to be reduced by taking away one of the travel lanes and providing narrower travel lanes. Pedestrians will feel better protected from traffic by having a wider sidewalk to walk on and by having some separation from the vehicular travel lane. The separate Brindley Street Bridge Project, which will relocate Brindley Street opposite Taughannock Boulevard, along with the intersection realignment of West Seneca Street under this project, will improve turning operations and reduce conflict points at the West Seneca Street intersection. By separating the intersections and slightly relocating the driveway to Pete's Grocery will make the intersection less confusing to navigate through. 3.3.1.9. Impacts on Police, Fire Protection and Ambulance Access Refer to Section 3.3.1.7(2) for a discussion of the anticipated impacts during construction. There are no anticipated impacts to police, fire protection and ambulance access during construction, although there will be slight delays for all traffic while construction work is in progress. 3.3.1.10. Parking Regulations and Parking Related Issues No changes to parking regulations are proposed, although existing regulations will be reinforced by the installation of additional parking restriction signage. No stopping will be allowed along the project corridor. 3.3.1.11. Lighting No changes to the existing street lighting are proposed. 3.3.1.12. Ownership and Maintenance Jurisdiction West MLK Jr. Street and its associated sidewalks and drainage system will continue to be owned and maintained by the City of Ithaca. The traffic signal located at the intersection of West MLK Jr. Street and Taughannock Boulevard will continue to be owned and maintained by NYSDOT Region 3. The new pedestrian traffic signal will be owned and operated by the City of Ithaca. 3-9 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 3.3.2. Multimodal 3.3.2.1. Pedestrians Under Alternative 1, the existing 5' sidewalk on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street will be widened to a 10' multi -use path by narrowing the roadway pavement in this area. Also, a 55' long section of existing sidewalk on the east side of Floral Avenue between West MLK Jr. Street and the Cayuga Waterfront Trail access will be widened from the existing 3 feet to 8 feet to extend the multiuse path to the trail. The remaining existing 5' sidewalks on the north and south sides of West MLK Jr. Street within the project limits will be either retained or reconstructed setback from the curb line to provide a snow storage area and potential tree planting area. Under Alternative 2, the existing 5' sidewalks on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street will be widened to 10 feet. The remaining existing 5' sidewalks on the north and south sides of West MLK Jr. Street within the project limits will be maintained Under both Alternatives 1 and 2, a new midblock pedestrian crosswalk will be added between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street to accommodate the large number of pedestrians from the West Hill area wishing to cross the street at this location to access commercial destinations on the north side of the street. This crosswalk will be controlled by a pedestrian -actuated traffic signal; see Section 3.3.1.3 (1) for further discussion of the proposed signal. Also under both alternatives, a new traffic signal would be installed at the Floral Avenue intersection, which will make it easier for pedestrian to cross Hector Street/West MLK Jr. Street at this location. Also as part of both feasible alternatives, a new section of sidewalk will be provided on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street between the relocated intersections of West Seneca Street and Brindley Street to provide better continuity with the existing south sidewalk to the east and west. The new sidewalk will also connect with the existing sidewalk on the south side of West Seneca Street and with Brindley Street, which is proposed, along with the existing Brindley Street Bridge over Six Mile Creek, to be converted to exclusive pedestrian and bicycle use as part of replacing the bridge and approach roadway on a new alignment to the east. At the West Seneca Street, Brindley Street and Taughannock Boulevard intersections, existing curb ramps will be upgraded to current Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines and NYSDOT standards where needed, including installation of detectable warning units. Existing crosswalk markings at these intersections will be refreshed. Type LS crosswalk markings will be installed at the new midblock pedestrian crosswalk. 3.3.2.2. Bicyclists Special provisions are proposed to accommodate bicyclists as part of this project. under Alternative 1, the existing 5' sidewalk on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street will be widened to a 10' multiuse path by narrowing the roadway pavement in this area. Also, a 55' long section of existing sidewalk on the east side of Floral Avenue between West MLK Jr. Street and the Cayuga Waterfront Trail access will be widened from the existing 3 feet to approximately 8 feet to extend the multiuse path to the trail. This will provide bicyclists an off-road connection between the Cayuga Waterfront Trail and Brindley Street, where the existing Brindley Street Bridge over Six Mile Creek and its approaches are proposed to be converted to exclusive bicycle and pedestrian use as part of replacing the bridge and approach roadway on a new alignment to the east. A variable 5' to 6' westbound bike lane between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street will also be included under Alternative 1 as an alternative to using the multi -use path for bicyclists traveling from Downtown to Hector Street and points west. East of West Seneca Street, bicyclists will be accommodated in each direction by 14' wide shared use lanes. Under Alternative 2, 5' bike lanes will be provided on both sides of West MLK Jr. Street between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street and the westbound bike lane will continue to the Taughannock Boulevard intersection. East of West Seneca Street, eastbound bicyclists will be accommodated by 12' wide shared 3-10 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 use lanes but some bike traffic is expected to divert at the former Brindley Street which is to become a pedestrian and bicycle trail. 3.3.2.3. Transit No changes are proposed to existing TCAT bus stops. 3.3.2.4. Airports, Railroad Stations, and Ports Not applicable for this project. 3.3.2.5. Access to Recreation Areas (Parks, Trails, Waterways, and State Lands) The multiuse path proposed on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street under Alternative 1, the wider sidewalks and bike lanes proposed on both sides of the street under Alternative 2, and the new mid -block crosswalk controlled by a pedestrian actuated traffic signal under both alternatives should enhance pedestrian and bicycle access to the Cayuga Waterfront Trail connection near the West MLK Jr. Street / Floral Avenue intersection. 3.3.3. Infrastructure 3.3.3.1. Proposed Highway Section Refer to Drawings TYP-Ai and TYP-A2 in Appendix A for proposed typical sections of West MLK Jr. Street for Alternatives I and 2, respectively. Under Alternative 1, the proposed highway section would consist of a 5' to 6' westbound bike lane, a 12' westbound travel lane, an 11' center left turn lane, and a 11' with 2' curb/barrier offset eastbound travel lane between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street. Between West Seneca Street and Taughannock Boulevard, there would be 14' shared -use travel lanes in each direction and a second 11' eastbound travel lane. Under Alternative 2, there would be 5' to 6' bike lanes and 11' to 12' travel lanes in both directions and an 11' center left turn lane between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street. Between West Seneca Street and Taughannock Boulevard, there would be a 5' westbound bike lane, an 11' westbound and eastbound travel lane, and a 12' shared -use eastbound travel lane. Refer also to plan drawings in Appendix A for proposed changes to curbing, sidewalks, intersection geometry, storm drainage and pavement marking and lane utilization. 3.3.3.1. (1) Right of Way There are no right-of-way acquisitions necessary for either Alternatives 1 or 2 3.3.3.1. (2) Curb The existing vertical faced granite curbing on West MLK Jr. Street will generally be retained with the exception of the south curb between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street and the curb at the intersections to be realigned. Any damaged curb sections will be replaced. Under Alternative 1, approximately 300' of the existing south side curb between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street will be replaced by single slope concrete median barrier between the roadway and proposed multiuse path. The remaining 250' will be removed and reset or replaced. The existing curb on the Flood Control Bridge will remain in place but will be incorporated into the multi -use PCC path. Under Alternative 2, the existing curbing along the south side of the street between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street will be reset 5 feet into the roadway to provide a wider sidewalk along that side of the roadway. As with Alternative 1, the existing curb on the Flood Control Bridge will remain in place, but will be incorporated into the new sidewalk. 3-11 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 Under both alternatives, new vertical faced granite curbing will be provided at the realigned intersections of West Seneca Street and Brindley Street. 3.3.3.1. (3) Grades The existing roadway grades will be maintained. The maximum grade is 2.5% and the minimum grade is 0.3%. 3.3.3.1. (4) Intersection Geometry and Conditions Under both feasible alternatives, existing intersection geometry will be significantly altered as part of this project. Following are anticipated modifications: Floral Avenue Intersection: • The southeast corner radius would be increased to 34' under Alternative 1 as part of the street width reduction on West MLK Jr. Street and the addition of the proposed multi -use path. Shop curved box beam median barrier will be used on this corner to provide protection for the multi -use path. This barrier will continue southward to the crosswalk across Floral Avenue. West Seneca Street and Brindley Street Intersections: • Both legs of West Seneca Street would be altered to intersect West MLK Jr. Street at 90 degrees, creating approximately 80' of separation between the two intersections. • Former Brindley Street, which will be re -aligned to intersect West MLK Jr. Street opposite Taughannock Boulevard, will be downgraded to a commercial driveway. The commercial driveway to Pete's Grocery, which is also in the vicinity of this intersection would be shifted westward approximately 16' to improve turning operations at this intersection. Refer to Drawings PLN -A1-1 to PLN -A2-2 in Appendix A for the geometry of the proposed intersections. 3.3.3.1. (5) Roadside Elements (a) Snow Storage, Sidewalks, Utility Strips, Bikeways — Under Alternative 1, the sidewalk will be widened to 12' between the Flood Control Channel Bridge and West Seneca Street. The widened sidewalk will serve a dual purpose of additional sidewalk width and snow storage area. East of West Seneca Street, the existing sidewalk which is adjacent to the existing curb line will be moved back 5' to provide 5' of snow storage area between the curb and the new sidewalk. Under Alternative 2, the sidewalk will be widened to 10' between Floral Avenue and West Seneca Street to serve a dual purpose of additional sidewalk width and snow storage area. East of West Seneca Street, as with Alternative 1, the sidewalk will be moved back 5' to provide 5' of snow storage area between the curb and the new sidewalk. See Section 3.3.2.1 for a discussion of sidewalks and the multi -use path to be provided. No utility strips or bikeways are included; see Section 3.3.2.2 for a discussion of shared use lanes and bike lanes to be provided. (b) Driveways — Existing driveway entrances along the project corridor will be retained but the driveway aprons will be re -built and the curb cuts will be narrowed to shorten pedestrian crossing distances and/or to improve turning operations. The three driveways on the south side of West MLK Jr Street between the Flood Control Channel Bridge and West Seneca Street will be narrowed to between 20' and 24'. The driveway to Pete's Grocery will retained at 35' width, but will be shifted to the west by approximately 16' to improve turning operations near the intersection of West MILK Jr. Street with West Seneca Street. The driveway to Trombley Tire and Auto Service will be reduced in width by about 15' to 35' in order to accommodate the relocated sidewalk curb ramp at West Seneca Street. See Section 3.3.1.2 for further discussion. Ithaca Grain and Pet Supply and the offices at 1001 West Seneca Street, which share a driveway off the existing Brindley Street alignment will have a new driveway constructed off West MLK Jr. Street within the former Brindley Street right of way. 3-12 March 2017 Draft Design Report PIN 3950.50 (c) Clear Zone — Alternative 1: a 2' buffer will be provided between the eastbound travel lane of West MLK Jr. Street and the proposed single slope concrete median barrier separating the multi -use path from the roadway between Floral Avenue and the proposed crosswalk on the west side of the Flood Control Channel Bridge. This alternative will therefore not change the existing minimum clear zone width of approximately 2 feet from edge of travel lane within the project limits. Alternative 2: the addition of the bike lanes and sidewalk widening on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street west of West Seneca Street will provide an additional 10 feet of clear zone width in this area. This alternative will not change the existing minimum clear zone width of approximately 2 feet from edge of travel lane within the remainder of the project limits. 3.3.3.2. Special Geometric Design Elements 3.3.3.2. (1) Nonstandard Features The feasible alternatives comply with the geometric features and cross section elements in the design criteria. 3.3.3.2.(2) Non -Conforming Features There will be no non -conforming features within the project limits. 3.3.3.3. Pavement and Shoulder 3.3.3.3. Pavement and Shoulder The proposed pavement treatment consists of a single course mill and overlay treatment from Station ML 12+48 just west of Floral Avenue to the west end of the Flood Control Channel Bridge, and from the east end of the bridge to approximately Station ML 22+35 just west of Taughannock Boulevard. This mill and overlay treatment will address existing surface irregularities and provide a clean surface for application of new pavement markings and will encompass the section of roadway affected by curb line relocations and intersection realignments. The relocated segment of Brindley Street that connects to West MLK Jr. Street will either be reconstructed as a new stub street (Alternative 2) or a new minor commercial driveway (Alternative 1). Refer to Drawings TYP-Ai and TYP-A2 in Appendix A for the proposed pavement resurfacing and reconstruction sections for Alternatives 1 and 2. 3.3.3.4. Drainage Systems The project area is served by a closed drainage system consisting of drainage inlet structures and pipes that discharge to the Flood Control Channel, Cayuga Inlet and Six Mile Creek. Both alternatives 1 and 2 include proposed curb line changes that will impact two existing drainage inlet structures located in the vicinity of Station ML 16+00 RT that discharge via a 24 -inch diameter pipe to the Flood Control Channel on the south side of the Flood Control Channel Bridge. The existing drainage inlets will be converted to manhole structures and will serve as connecting structures for two new drainage structures that will be installed along the new curb line. 3.3.3.5. Geotechnical No special techniques or considerations are needed. 3.3.3.6. Structures The West MLK Jr. Street (NYS Route 79) Bridge over the Flood Control Channel (BIN 2210660), is a significant structure that covers much of the project limits. Refer to Section 2.3.3.6 for information on this structure. Work on the bridge associated with this project consists of the following: 3-13 March 2017 Draft Design Report MN saau.au • Alternative 1: widening of the south sidewalk on the bridge from 5' to 10' to serve as a multi -use path by installing a single -slope concrete barrier inward from the existing curb line by 7' and filling the gap between the barrier and the existing bridge curb with new PCC sidewalk. The two existing scuppers along the south side of the roadway will need to be reconstructed along the new concrete barrier. See Drawing TYP-Ai in Appendix A. • Alternative 2: widening of the south sidewalk on the bridge from 5' to 10' by moving the curb line inward 5' and filling the gap between the new curb and the existing curb with new PCC sidewalk. The two scuppers along the south side of the roadway will need to be reconstructed along the new curb line. See Drawing TYP-A2 in Appendix A. Under each alternative, existing pavement markings on the concrete bridge surface will need to be ground off in order to accommodate the new lane configuration across the bridge. The existing Level 1 loading of the bridge was reviewed and it was determined that the bridge will have adequate load capacity for the proposed improvements for either alternative. As part of final design, a new Level 1 Load Rating of the bridge will be developed based on the increased loading. A bridge deck drainage analysis will be performed to determine appropriate locations for the relocated bridge scuppers. 3.3.3.7. Hydraulics of Bridges and Culverts The hydraulic opening of BIN 2210660 is not affected by this project. There are no dams in the vicinity of the project. 3.3.3.8. Guide Railing, Median Barriers and Impact Attenuators The short segment of box beam guide railing located between curb and sidewalk on the east side of Floral Avenue at the extreme western end of the project will be removed and replaced by a box beam median barrier under Alternative 1 to allow widening of the 3' wide sidewalk to an 8' multi -use path that will connect the proposed multi -use path along West MLK Jr. Street to the Cayuga Waterfront Trail. The segments of bridge approach guide rail are not affected by the project and will be retained. 3.3.3.9. Utilities No overhead or underground utilities are in conflict with the work proposed under this project. Utility manhole and valve box covers located in areas where the proposed grade is changing from existing grade will be adjusted to proposed finished grade. 3.3.3.10. Railroad Facilities The project will not affect any railroad facilities. 3.3.4. Landscape and Environmental Enhancements 3.3.4.1. Landscape Development and Other Aesthetics Improvements The project will include a new landscaped area between the relocated West Seneca Street and Brindley Street intersections on the south side of West MLK Jr. Street. There will also be a new landscape area between the driveway or new stub street that will replace former Brindley Street and a new HMA path that will connect to the old Brindley Street Bridge. A curb bump out on the east leg of West Seneca Street will also provide an opportunity for additional landscaping. 3.3.4.2. Environmental Enhancements There are currently no plans for environmental enhancements within the project limits. 3.3.5. Miscellaneous There are no other miscellaneous items for this project not already discussed in previous sections. 3-14 s K, CITY OF ITHACA SHORT ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT FORM (SEAF) Proiect Information (to be completed by applicant or project sponsor) 1.

Box 306 5 Main Street Freeville, MY 13068 T (607)844-4601 F (607)844-3310 (Hawaiian Poke Ltr to Inspector Ripa 02/2312017) p. 2 (ADRA Proposal for .Item #1) Change the door to an outswing configuration to comply with direction of exit travel. An outswing- door- does not require- the -18" -wide -approach -on -the -access - side of the door thus the width of the exitlentrance corridor would comply. The ramp is to be rebuilt to remove the 1.5" lip at the bottom of the ramp for my passage and a non -trip element. (NOTE: The Contractor on thisproject misinterpreted the ramp modification instructions on ADRA's ,documents and will .be directed to rebuild the ramp to restore the interior flax landing inside the entrance door (min 36" long per Al 17.1406.7).. 2. Single Exit Occuy The space rented by Hawaiian Poke Restaurant is approximately 1,000 Sq Feet and the number of patrons served at .any one time willobe less than 50, including take-out customers who will not eat on premises. Seating for only 12 patrons will be .provided in the dining area to permit one unisex Rest Room to serve both customers and staff. Based on the total area of the space and number of people being served at any time, only one exit is required. (IBC Table 1006.2.1) (ADRA Proposal for Item #2) Since only one exittentrance door is required for this limited area space, it is important that the door and. entrance corridor most effectively serve the patrons in a safe and efficient manor. The second exit at the rear of the restaurant is accessed through the Food Serving and Prep Kitchen areas which is prohibited in commercial facilities (IBC 10 16.2.5) as they are .prone to higher hazards and obstructions caused by equipment and food processing activities. The rear exit door is also not HC accessible and leads to a rear yard, not directly to a public way. 3. Exterior Environment and Encroachment ARRA is aware that encroachment on pubic ways should be avoided whenever possible as it can diminish the clear walking path on sidewalks and potentially create unforeseen obstructions when doors and windows are open. (IBC 3202:2) Sometimes accommodation for one condition can lead to difficulties or potential danger in other areas as I believe to be true with this. door swing situation. While the outswing door could be a temporary obstruction when open, mitigating elements can be added that will.substantially reduce the risk and match similar conditions that already exist at each of the adjacent buildings. Both the Collegtown Bagels Store at the corner of Seneca and Aurora Streets and the Coffee Shop/Tattoo Parlor project into the common sidewalk in one or more ways. • Collegetown Bagels has positioned small tables and chairs for outside dining along the East Seneca Street side of their building which reduces the net sidewalk width to less than eight feet. The second required remote exit door (36" wide) from their interior dining area opens outward onto East •Seneca Street east of this seating group just as my proposed door will do. Two additional service doors serving that building. also open outward onto Seneca Street; however, they appear to be limited use so.present little risk of obstruction. [refer to ADRA. Sketch on obstructions] • The Coffee Shop east of 308 East Seneca. Street :has a raised stoop to .compensate for the rising grade at the :building. The raised .stoop bas two steps that project into the public way a :distance of 24"+..It is assumed the 'tenant similarly:placed metal furniture in front of that store to .protect walkers from tripping on the stair .at night . and for outside sitting space. NOTE: To the .east beyons the Coffee Shop, the'configiaaatcon of the sidewalk changes substantially from approximately 12 feet wide to 5 feet wide with a residential :grassed apron between the walk and the curb. This change in walking surface width lends credence to the premise that a full 8 foot wide walking lane is not mandatory in this neighborhood even though it may be desirable as the structures become more commercial to the west. (Hawaiian Poke Ltr to Inspector Ripa 02/23/2017) p. 3 (AD -RA Proposal for Item #3) My recommendation to ft -C rty a$d-Iiawaiiau-Pbke-Taff of i§ -f6 - install similar exterior furniture in front of the main picture window of their Restaurant to create a visible, yet movable .barrier, directing walkers towards the center of sidewalk much the same as the two adjacent businesses have done.. The proposed door to the restaurant will be equipped with an automatic .closer toreturn the door to the closed position. after each use, so the door won't be hanging open for people to contact except when a patron is entering or leaving the store and the presence of a moving figure brings attention to the door in question. - The Contractor also suggested a small railing could be installed and anchored to the sidewalk between the Hawaiian Poke entrance and the adjacent apartment stoop, however, I would prefer to, avoid any permanent obstruction -in the public way which would likely be unacceptable to the City anyway. I will be: happy to discuss. this issue further or present it to the BZA if required to .do so. Respectfullysubmi 41/111 Brian R. Butte A.

Hathaway and Public Works Board: As a courtesy to the Omer, I've been asked to submit information on the Hawaiian Poke Take- out Restaurant for exterior lighting proposed for the building sign and awning that will be located over the main windows (south andwest) on the restaurant. The .requested goose neck style lighting will be installed above the building sign and project approximately the same distance as &e proposed awning �on the south and west Paces of the buil"g facade. Please be advised that ADR Associates was not contracted to advise on either the design or dimensions of the awning, signage or exterior lighting for this project. ADR Associates was comvIIssione I to develop the bterior design for the Hawaiian Poke take-out restaurant, including redesign of the main entrance door and accessible ramp into the restaurant. Information was fiunished fo the Board to aid in consideration of the Architect`s recommendation to reverse the main door to an outswing configuration. Scaled information addressing this door issue was presented to the Ithaca Building Dept (Rbt Ripa) and subsequently to the City Engineer's Office (Kent Johnson) on February 22, 2017 to summarize ADRA's reasoning behind the door change and why the outswing door was identified on the original design upon which the Building Permit (#35126) was issued last December. What makes the job for the design professional and building official difficult at tunes when proposing alterations to older buildings is that one correction to a known noncompliance may affect or create another noncompliance. When this happens, hopefully those iii change can collectively review and decide upon a solution that best accommodates the code intent while not making the noncompliance worse. ADRA endeavored to correct accessibility issues to this single entrance restaurant and recommend mitigating procedures via placement of an exterior table and (Hawaiian Poke Board or Public Works Ltr (03/27/17) p. 2 chairs consistent with exterior seating along the south face of the Collegetown Bagel Store west of this !location and the Coffee Shop/Tattoo Parlor east of Hawaiian Poke to minimae, the potential for a pedestrian walking into the open door. While I can appreciate the City's concern regarding obstmcting -a public walkway, similar obstructions already exist on the adjacent buildings and this location is a transitional sidewalk from a much narrower residential sidewalk (60"W) extending eastward up East Seneca Street. Should ARRA"s suggestion of exterior fiuniture be approved, the resulting clear sidewalk width in front of Hawaiian Poke would still exceed 60". jRefer also to detailed review and drawing submitted on February 22, 2017] I trust the Board will give this proposed design fair consideration for the unique condition that it is. I will be happy to address any further questions that Mr. Hathaway or the Board may raise. Respectfully submitted, Brian R. Buttner, R.A. ADRA President Cc: ADRA project file N.

Stemming from a community (Cynthia Brock and George McGonigal) and Ithaca City School District (ICSD) staff meeting on February 8, 2017, the enclosed preliminary design plans were formulated. In order to proceed with a 2017 Construction season, the City has asked the ICSD Finance & Facilities Committee for their initial review of the following plans. The March 21 ICSD Committee review was overall positive, and we are awaiting further analysis by their legal team. Before major reconstruction can proceed, a land swap utilizing a lot line adjustment would be needed for the highway and property boundary change. At this time, no action is needed by the Board of Public Works. . Highlights of the Intersection Redesign: • Improved line of sight distances for turning vehicles and a wider intersection for turning buses • 700 feet of new sidewalk and ADA curb ramps • 5 new pedestrian cross -walks & signs • Inbound and outbound TCAT bus stops • Removal of the existing slip lane asphalt street which will be re -graded to turf • Total land exchange between the City of Ithaca and the Ithaca School District is 0.07 acres. • All costs are covered by the City of Ithaca Enclosures: Overview of Elm & Chestnut Intersection Redesign Plan in Black & White (1) Overview of Elm & Chestnut Intersection Redesign Plan in Color (1) v,' j. �• 7 � r '` - y.-' 'j1 t .ti � ,�-'Y ��•.,y'F' `•p._y� •!�•�'�'La*h'11� { �� a y'1• i 1�J' r j 1 . .�•. t.r - +iii �, •� - ' - "r "T�.� , -''i �• li � � ..�- ,� � e. r� s � s�'• r r��. t . ; p , �j�" ,r :`•s a,::._' y tir•� :l . / ti 3. ! + 'Y - Tj • !
