The primary objectives of the preliminary engineering study will be to develop reasonable � �' recommendations for overall system * , , . 4' . ' modernization and improvements, provide a practical and coordinated construction program to .:,. •; I implement the improvements over time, and . _ y - finally to develop accurate planning-level cost 8 estimates to be used in the capital budget �-- process. Prior to developing the recommendations and cost estimates, two potential downtown traffic flow changes will be examined, discussed, and a consensus reached with downtown civic groups as the recommendations for these traffic flow changes will directly impact the magnitude and extent of the improvements that may be required to the downtown signal system. These two traffic circulation issues are: • Feasibility and requirements of implementing two-way traffic flow on Chicago Street and Highland Avenue. • Re-establishing Grove Street in the Civic Center Plaza. The project approach will place equal emphasis on both the engineering issues and the ability to effectively communicate traffic flow issues and implications to the various stakeholders involved in the downtown area such as the Riverfront Master Plan group, the Downtown Neighborhood Association as well as City staff and the Fire Department pre-emption team. The public involvement process for this project has been developed to accomplish two objectives: .tt Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin 1. Successfully communicate the results of the "technical" aspects of the traffic analyses, improvement alternatives, and recommendations to a variety of non- technical "lay" groups to enable theses groups to understand and discuss the results and implications of changes to downtown traffic flow. 2. Effectively work with these groups to arrive at a consensus in a timely manner in order to finalize the study recommendations to meet capital budget cycle deadlines. The ability to focus these groups on the specific traffic issues and not on non-related downtown viability issues outside of the study scope will be critical to meeting project deadlines. Description of Scope of Services The scope of services described below provides an explanation of the project approach, work tasks to be conducted, and project deliverables. This description corresponds directly with the detailed man-hour, direct cost, and fee for the project that follows this explanation. Task I: Coordination and Data Collection This task provides for the collection of needed information in order to perform the required traffic analyses and to develop the necessary traffic signal system recommendations. More importantly, this task provides for the critical initial coordination and communication with City staff and other project stakeholders to establish a clear understanding of the City's expectation of the consultant team, the issues to be addressed as part of the study, schedule, and the products (project deliverables) to be provided to the City. Work under this task includes the following items: • Collection of peak hour and 12-hour traffic • counts at existing signalized intersections I and intersections to be reviewed for traffic •®► _ ,� signal warrants. All traffic counts • conducted for this project will include A.. 10..;1 -+rl1r classification of vehicle types (i.e. cars, —. trucks, buses) and pedestrian volumes. • Collection of all pertinent existing traffic A1/4_2- signal and roadway plans for the CBD, Kimball Street and National Street. • Obtain site plans, densities, etc. for any proposed development that will affect downtown traffic (residential development surrounding Festival Park.) • Obtain information relating to existing or planned City fiber-optic networks or other communication networks that could potentially be utilized or enhanced as part of the traffic signal system work. IlLR Page 2 Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin • Roadway and parking inventory (number of lanes, width, configuration, storage, etc.) in the study area. • Field inventory of traffic signal equipment and reconciliation with existing record information. • Field reconnaissance of the CBD area during peak traffic periods to observe traffic operations. 7141114.Nalt : • • Miscellaneous other information that may effect and impact signal system design (e.g. major utilities, vaulted sidewalks, streetcar/trolley car '*'11741... . - 1 1 tracks, etc. Careful review and inventory of existing traffic signal equipment and facilities will be critical to minimizing costs in the future by carefully assessing the need to "replace" versus "relocate." To assist in conducting the traffic counts; Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) will be utilizing Land Strategies, Inc. as a sub-consultant. HLR has an ongoing working relationship with Land Strategies on a variety of traffic engineering projects. Task II: Existing Conditions/ System Review Utilizing the information collected under Task I, a review and evaluation of traffic operations at the existing 15 signalized intersections and three unsignalized intersections will be conducted. This work will also include a review of traffic signal warrants. Synchro/SimTraffic or CORSIM simulation models of existing conditions will be developed at this time. This information will then be complied into an "Existing Cord'tions" report that will be reviewed and discussed with City Staff. This report will provide a "base-line" comparison for the analyses to be conducted for the one-way versus two-way circulation and the "re-opening" of Grove Street. The report will be submitted to the City for review and revised if necessary. This information will also serve as an introduction for meetings with the various downtown civic and business groups. Task HI7 Downtown Traffic Flow Alternatives Analysis This task will include the first "round" of public meetings with the Downtown Neighborhood Association, the Riverfront Master Plan Consultant, and other affected civic groups. Meetings with these groups will summarize the "Existing Conditions/ System Review" of traffic operations and focus on discussing the parameters and issues associated with examining two-way traffic flow on Highland Avenue and (. Chicago Street and the potential re-establishment of Grove Avenue. To assist HLR in the facilitation of discussions with these various groups, HLR will be working with the firm Business Districts, Inc. (BDI) as a sub- consultant. BDI specializes in the analysis of downtown business districts and is familiar with the traffic related issues that downtown business groups and neighborhoods have. BDI will assist in all public involvement activities and MLR Page 3 I I/ Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin provide "peer review" to HLR on the formulation of downtown traffic alternatives (one- way vs. two-way, etc.) Coordination meetings with the Fire Department pre-emption team are also proposed to take place at the beginning of this task and will focus on summarizing the existing traffic signal system and equipment, and then focus on establishing future system and intersection equipment needs. The capability/ need to provide system linkages to existing fiber optic networks will be discussed as remote monitoring of traffic signals can reduce maintenance effort by providing some level of intersection diagnostics from remote locations. With many new urban traffic signal systems, video detection and video surveillance (pan-tilt-zoom cameras) are being provided both for traffic management and emergency management uses. Often improvements being considered under "homeland security" can be interfaced with improvements to traffic control systems resulting in an overall cost-savings by minimizing duplication of system infrastructure. In all of the public meetings to be conducted as part `. of this study, HLR is proposing to utilize Synchro/ SimTraffic and CORSIM to provide visual 41) a simulations of traffic flow superimposed over aerial u -' . ,4417,:�7 photography. HLR has found this presentation �_`�._ -` _ ____ ..l- n ''' method very effective in communicating traffic flow -?" and operation issues to the general public. These ,4. , ' simulations have been recently used on HLR public , ' involvement efforts in the City of St. Charles (IL-64 �, _ traffic signal system) and the City of Woodstock (IL- 47/Calhoun Street reconfiguration.) In examining the feasibility of establishing two-way = i"' w 17 traffic on Highland Avenue and Chicago Street, both ` 4 1 the impacts of two-way traffic flow on these streets and the intersecting side streets will be studied. The . r' s need to provide left-turn lanes, adjust/ reconfigure `"ry intersecting side street turn lane approaches, and the - resultant implication for potential removal of on-street '' " parking to accommodate these changes will be examined carefully in order to fully assess the benefits and disadvantages of establishing two-way traffic. This task will also include the assessment of impacts from two-way operations on the off-street traffic circulation at existing parking garages, parking ; 11 lots and the Metra/ PACE facility. The feasibility A - x of modifying these off-street facilities without large cost implications will be evaluated. All of these .aI,- :moi ■ r issues will have to be addressed and any < : 1 1110.-1,,,,:.1, changes adequately quantified so the various ~ stakeholders, including PACE and Metra, can MLR Page 4 Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin make an informed decision with respect to two-way traffic operations. Additional coordination with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) will be required to address potential railroad/ traffic signal preemption issues that may arise from 2-way operation at the Illinois Route 31 (IL-31) intersections with Highland Avenue and Chicago Street. The potential re-opening of Grove Avenue will also have to be evaluated for issues other than just traffic and roadway requirements. The existing "right-of-way" is somewhat narrow and the adjacent grade of existing building accesses varies along the block. Impacts 111101,.!1,! ,.i relating to establishing street level building accesses and pedestrian traffic flows will be reviewed and evaluated as part of this task. Once the comments and concerns of the various stakeholders have been established and discussed, Synchro/SimTraffic and/or CORSIM models will be developed to assess the traffic flow and operational changes of these alterations and to identify the needed changes in roadway configurations to accommodate these changes. The results of these models and the necessary alterations to the downtown street system will be summarized in a letter report. The report will also identify any major changes required to the off-street facilities mentioned above. This report will be presented to City staff for review and then an additional "round" of presentations made to the various groups and stakeholders to summarize the analysis, benefits, impacts and recommendations. It is anticipated that a presentation to the City Council summarizing all of the work conducted to date and the recommendations on two-way traffic and Grove Avenue would be made following the presentation to the Downtown Neighborhood Association and other groups. Again, BDI will assist HLR in these public meetings. Task IV: Kimball Street & National Street Signal Re-optimization Additional peak hour traffic counts will be conducted at all signalized intersections along Kimball Street and National Street. This information along with the results of Task II and Task III will be utilized to develop new optimized traffic signal timing plans for the ' n Grove ,r morning, mid-day and evening peak period • • operations along these roadways. This • I w information will be implemented on both _ corridors via existing telephone • connections and followed by a field review of the implemented timing plans. = ,o "' • * Revisions in the field will be made as Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin Task V: Preliminary Engineering Study & Final Report Once a consensus has been reached by the City and all interested stakeholders with respect to the one-way versus two-way operation and the Grove Avenue "re-opening," final traffic signal system requirements and overall improvement recommendations can be developed. Based on coordination with City staff, the Fire Department pre-emption team, and any other groups involved in system communication needs (video, fiber optics, etc.) a traffic signal system schematic plan will be developed. This will serve as the foundation/ "backbone" for implementation of the various construction projects that will follow. Overall system requirements will be clearly identified as part of this plan so that as each project is constructed, the necessary infrastructure is developed to allow for future implementation of the total system. If street improvements and reconfigurations are necessary, a geometric plan for proposed CBD street improvements will be developed. Again, HLR has found it very effective to present proposed roadway changes graphically superimposed over 7.77,04 ' ?q • aerial photography. Individual ' _ a ' ITT ti intersection traffic signal requirements i will also be identified in addition to the -- overall system requirements. Issues >' such as replacement/ retrofitting of . ~ = signal heads with LED's can be examined and potential long-term cost savings from decreased energy 9 9Y consumption evaluated. A significant portion of the work under this task will include the development of planning level construction cost estimates and a construction implementation plan that will take into account projected annual budgetary constraints. It is anticipated as part of this scope that several different staging plans with associated cost estimates will have to be developed, reviewed by City staff, and then revised again for review until a consensus is reached with respect to implementation of the improvements. Coordination of schedule and scope with other upcoming capital improvements in the downtown will be an important part of this work task. All of this information along with a summary of the previous tasks will be compiled into a final report and presented to City staff for review. Provisions have been made in the proposal for an additional public meeting/ City Council presentation to summarize the overall project, the recommended improvements, estimated costs and implementation/ phasing options. A detailed listing of all work tasks anticipated to be conducted as part this study along with manhours and direct-cost estimates follows.

Business districts are as varied 'N as the communities which create and benefit from them. Whether they are commercial cores, downtowns or retail corridors, business • districts share characteristics with shopping centers but also announce and transmit the values of the communities they dwell in. N Effective business district plans have always relied on analysis-based c, strategic plans affirmed by community groups, businesses and •N government. But with increasingly tight municipal budgets, growing = citizen involvement and changing patterns of life, work and shopping today, an effective business district plan must be more; it must include organization structures—private public partnerships or designation of lead agencies--and reliable financing mechanisms. In other words, today, an effective business district plan must include implementation. For a decade and a half, BDI has developed and implemented effective business district plans in top communities throughout the Midwest. We have created thriving, marquee projects which attest to both community resilience and BDI skill in ensuring long term results. With deep roots in urban planning, commercial development and business management, and a flexible, hands-on approach, BDI empowers those developing a business district to define, progress toward and realize their commercial aspirations. The results are often dramatic. At the core of BDI's services is the situation audit; a "where-do-we-go-from-here" diagnosis of a business district's economic and physical conditions as well as its market demographics, retail mix and prevailing codes. From this analysis, BDI constructs a strategic plan. Using "visioning" workshops with constituent groups and the public and also expert input, the community will create a fully implementable operation plan. Retailer support and developer recruitment are the cornerstones of the plan as are staffing, management and continuing services. Developing a business district that answers community expectations and city revenue needs within municipal budget and scheduling parameters has never been more challenging. Yet never has it been more rewarding. Today's commercial district is not just an economic entity but an emotional and social one. It's a gathering place that connects a community's past and future and affirms its values and cultural identity. Let BDI help you develop yours. business districts.inc.

Dorgan, City Manager k{,lj AND QI NLITViNFRASTRI/CTLRE John M. Loete, Public Works Director SUBJECT: Engineering Services Agreement with Hampton, Lenzini & Renwick (HLR) For the Central Business District (CBD)Traffic Signal Upgrade Project PURPOSE The purpose of this memorandum is to provide the Mayor and members of the City Council with information to consider an agreement with HLR for phase I preliminary design engineering services for the CBD Traffic Signal Upgrade Project. ell RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement with HLR in the not-to-exceed amount of$170,384.25. BACKGROUND The CBD traffic signal system, installed in 1989, has become outdated and is not adaptable to changing traffic needs. This project will develop the operating parameters for a new system and complete the preliminary design and cost estimates for that system. The first step in the project will be a full investigation of the layout and functionality of the existing signal system, including traffic counts and warrant analyses for all intersections with existing signals and for any intersections that might be considered for signalization. In addition, the traffic count data will be used to compare the pros and cons of re-instating two- way traffic on Chicago Street and Highland Avenue (between State Street (IL Rte. 31) and Center Street/Villa Street) with the function of the existing one-way couplet. This alternative was a recommendation from the City's Riverfront Master Plan. A letter report will be provided to the City for evaluation and a decision on how to proceed. Once that decision is made, a new timing/coordination plan will be developed. Also a preliminary system design will be completed along with projected costs and suggestions for possible phasing of the work. Other issues included in the analysis and preliminary design will be the re-opening of Grove Avenue in the Civic Center Plaza and the need to coordinate traffic movement along National r CBD Traffic Signal Upgrade Project April 9, 2004 Page 2 Street, from State Street to Villa Street. Finally, a signal coordination program will be developed and installed for the signals on Kimball Street, from State Street to Dundee Avenue. Requests for proposals for the above work were solicited from six firms, with five firms submitting proposals on March 8, 2004. The firms responding were: Crawford, Murphy & Tilly; Hampton, Lenzini & Renwick; H.W. Lockner; Stanley Consultants; and TranSystems. A staff selection committee evaluated the five proposals, with HLR being selected as the most qualified firm. Upon selection, HLR met with staff to finalize the project scope and negotiate a project fee. The final negotiated fee is $170,384.25. A project location map is attached as Exhibit A. A copy of the results of the selection process is attached as Exhibit B. A copy of the proposed engineering services agreement is attached as Exhibit C. This agreement will provide for preliminary design work outlined above. When construction of the signal upgrade improvements is budgeted, an amendment to the contract will be prepared to provide final plans, specifications and cost estimates for the identified. phases COMMUNITY GROUPS/INTERESTED PERSONS CONTACTED �• None iti.f__—FINANCIAL IMPACT The agreement with HLR will cost $170,384.25.

For the CITY: ATTEST: THE CITY OF ELGIN By By City Clerk City Manager (SEAL) For the ENGINEER: Dated this day of , A.D., 2004 ATTEST: By By Secretary President (SEAL) ATTACHMENT A Project Approach and Scope of Services City of Elgin Central Business District (CBD) Traffic Signal Upgrade Preliminary Engineering Study Introduction The City of Elgin has identified the need to review fes_ �7 the layout and functionality of the traffic signal i e' system in the downtown central business district ; fit (CBD). The primary objectives of the preliminary £. ", � - engineering study will be to develop reasonable Z-zztOrAt -111 recommendations for overall system �. �= • ,� t) t modernization and improvements, provide a 4 practical and coordinated construction program to ytitirtT implement the improvements over time, and finally to develop accurate planning-level cost estimates to be used in the capital budget process. Prior to developing the recommendations and cost estimates, two potential downtown i traffic flow changes will be examined, discussed, and a consensus reached with downtown civic groups as the recommendations for these traffic flow changes will directly impact the magnitude and extent of the improvements that may be required to the downtown signal system. These two traffic circulation issues are: • Feasibility and requirements of implementing two-way traffic flow on Chicago Street and Highland Avenue. • Re-establishing Grove Street in the Civic Center Plaza. The project approach will place equal emphasis on both the engineering issues and the ability to effectively communicate traffic flow issues and implications to the various stakeholders involved in the downtown area such as the Riverfront Master Plan group, the Downtown Neighborhood Association as well as City staff and the Fire Department pre-emption team. The public involvement process for this project has been developed to accomplish two objectives: m.R Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin 1. Successfully communicate the results of the "technical" aspects of the traffic analyses, improvement alternatives, and recommendations to a variety of non- technical "lay" groups to enable theses groups to understand and discuss the results and implications of changes to downtown traffic flow. 2. Effectively work with these groups to arrive at a consensus in a timely manner in order to finalize the study recommendations to meet capital budget cycle deadlines. The ability to focus these groups on the specific traffic issues and not on non-related downtown viability issues outside of the study scope will be critical to meeting project deadlines. Description of Scope of Services The scope of services described below provides an explanation of the project approach, work tasks to be conducted, and project deliverables. This description corresponds directly with the detailed man-hour, direct cost, and fee for the project that follows this explanation. Task I: Coordination and Data Collection This task provides for the collection of needed information in order to perform the required traffic analyses and to develop the necessary traffic signal system recommendations. More importantly, this task provides for the critical initial coordination and communication with City staff and other project stakeholders to establish a clear understanding of the City's expectation of the consultant team, the issues to be addressed as part of the study, schedule, and the products (project deliverables) to be provided to the City. Work under this task includes the following items: • Collection of peak hour and 12-hour traffic FEA 4.--.---,--,.:- , counts at existing signalized intersections 4 i and intersections to be reviewed for traffic l_.. `� 3 0 , , signal warrants. All traffic counts x -z7, conducted for this project will include T -- r i {� classification of vehicle types (i.e. cars, trucks, buses) and pedestrian volumes. • Collection of all pertinent existing traffics signal and roadway lans for the CBD, Kimball Street and National Street. • Obtain site plans, densities, etc. for any proposed development that will affect downtown traffic (residential development surrounding Festival Park.) • Obtain information relating to existing or planned City fiber-optic networks or other communication networks that could potentially be utilized or enhanced as part of the traffic signal system work. 11LR Page 2 Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin C • Roadway and parking inventory (number of lanes, width, configuration, storage, etc.) in the study area. • Field inventory of traffic signal equipment and reconciliation with existing record information. • Field reconnaissance of the CBD area during ! ' 3 peak traffic periods to observe traffic operations. Lr + �,, ` 25 • Miscellaneous other information that may effect 1 - , �. r* 0./1 - and impact signal system design (e.g. major - j + '.;'} t utilities, vaulted sidewalks, streetcar/trolley car - -- ri tracks, etc. Careful review and inventory of existing traffic >' signal equipment and facilities will be critical to � ' 'i minimizing costs in the future by carefully assessing the need to "replace" versus "relocate." To assist in conducting the traffic counts; Hampton, Lenzini and Renwick, Inc. (HLR) will be utilizing Land Strategies, Inc. as a sub-consultant. HLR has an ongoing working relationship with Land Strategies on a variety of traffic engineering projects. Task II: Existing Conditions/ System Review 0 A'" Utilizing the information collected under Task I, a review and evaluation of traffic operations at the existing 15 signalized intersections and three unsignalized intersections will be conducted. This work will also include a review of traffic signal warrants. Synchro/SimTraffic or CORSIM simulation models of existing conditions will be developed at this time. This information will then be complied into an "Existing Conditions" report that will be reviewed and discussed with City Staff. This report will provide a "base-line" comparison for the analyses to be conducted for the one-way versus two-way circulation and the "re-opening" of Grove Street. The report will be submitted to the City for review and revised if necessary. This information will also serve as an introduction for meetings with the various downtown civic and business groups. Task Ill: Downtown Traffic Flow Alternatives Analysis This task will include the first "round" of public meetings with the ` F ° Downtown Neighborhood Association, the Riverfront Master Plan E Consultant, and other affected civic groups. Meetings with these groups - will summarize the "Existing Conditions/ System Review" of traffic ' L operations and focus on discussing the parameters and issues P Y4 associated with examining two-way traffic flow on Highland Avenue and C kfit:F. Chicago Street and the potential re-establishment of Grove Avenue. To f: assist HLR in the facilitation of discussions with these various groups, z - HLR will be working with the firm Business Districts, Inc. (BDI) as a sub- ' ,� consultant. BDI specializes in the analysis of downtown business districts and is familiar with the traffic related issues that downtown business groups and neighborhoods have. BDI will assist in all public involvement activities and liffiR Page 3 Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin provide "peer review" to HLR on the formulation of downtown traffic alternatives (one- way vs. two-way, etc.) Coordination meetings with the Fire Department pre-emption team are also proposed to take place at the beginning of this task and will focus on summarizing the existing traffic signal system and equipment, and then focus on establishing future system and intersection equipment needs. The capability/ need to provide system linkages to existing fiber optic networks will be discussed as remote monitoring of traffic signals can reduce maintenance effort by providing some level of intersection diagnostics from remote locations. With many new urban traffic signal systems, video detection and video surveillance (pan-tilt-zoom cameras) are being provided both for traffic management and emergency management uses. Often improvements being considered under "homeland security" can be interfaced with improvements to traffic control systems resulting in an overall cost-savings by minimizing duplication of system infrastructure. In all of the public meetings to be conducted as part r— , of this study, HLR is proposing to utilize Synchro/ 1, -'`* %1 r'\; i SimTraffic and CORSIM to provide visual �� simulations of traffic flow superimposed over aerial I . 1 %‘ 1 : photography. HLR has found this presentation ""k -: • ,--a - : ;r, 1.1.• '- method very effective in communicating traffic flow %,, „ 7_, -I. „ ti and operation issues to the general public. These _ ;i. �, simulations have been recently used on HLR public ” ,.t. '\,N\:'''L involvement efforts in the City of St. Charles (IL-64 traffic signal system) and the City of Woodstock (IL- 47/Calhoun Street reconfiguration.) In examining the feasibility of establishing two-way } H 4 traffic on Highland Avenue and Chicago Street, both ;. the impacts of two-way traffic flow on these streets �:, iiia„ and the intersecting side streets will be studied. The ,� • Al '-'' need to provide left turn lanes, adjust/ reconfigure - intersecting side street turn lane approaches, and the _ , resultant implication for potential removal of on-street ---:-'2--------'1"-- ---0----' parking to accommodate these changes will be examined carefully in order to fully assess the benefits and disadvantages of establishing two-way traffic. This task will also include the assessment of impacts from two-way operations on the off-street traffic circulation at existing parking garages, parking lots and the Metra/ PACE facility. The feasibility of modifying these off-street facilities without large • _ cost implications will be evaluated. All of these ,m R ... issues will have to be addressed and any �. <F J . lE ,' , ,, .I A.3dT—G - changes adequately quantified so the various ;; stakeholders, including PACE and Metra, can .� , +` kms.- — ti, 1 1 MR Page 4 Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin make an informed decision with respect to two-way traffic operations. Additional coordination with the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) and the Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) will be required to address potential railroad/ traffic signal preemption issues that may arise from 2-way operation at the Illinois Route 31 (IL-31) intersections with Highland Avenue and Chicago Street. The potential re-opening of Grove Avenue will also have to be evaluated for issues other than just traffic and F, roadway requirements. The existing "right-of-way" is s somewhat narrow and the adjacent grade of existing �ulll building accesses varies along the block. Impacts i I�!l;�,s relating to establishing street level building accesses and ..!1,4►jl pedestrian traffic flows will be reviewed and evaluated as part of this task. Once the comments and concerns of the various stakeholders have been established and discussed, Synchro/SimTraffic and/or CORSIM models will be developed to assess the traffic flow and operational changes of these alterations and to identify the needed changes in roadway configurations to accommodate these changes. The results of these models and the necessary alterations to the downtown street system will be summarized in a letter report. The report will also identify any major changes required to the off-street facilities mentioned above. This report will be presented to City staff for review and then an additional "round" of presentations made to the various groups and stakeholders to summarize the analysis, benefits, impacts and recommendations. It is anticipated that a presentation to the City Council summarizing all of the work conducted to date and the recommendations on two-way traffic and Grove Avenue would be made following the presentation to the Downtown Neighborhood Association and other groups. Again, BDI will assist HLR in these public meetings. Task IV: Kimball Street & National Street Signal Re-optimization Additional peak hour traffic counts will be conducted at all signalized intersections along Kimball Street and National Street. This information along with the results of Task II and Task III will be utilized to develop new optimized traffic signal timing plans for the N:Grove.Ae morning, mid-day and evening peak period operations along these roadways. This information will be implemented on both corridors via existing telephone connections and followed by a field review of the implemented timing plans. Revisions in the field will be made asf necessary and complete copies of the controller database settings and Synchro/ ter. k SimTraffic data provided to the City. Page 5 Central Business District(CBD) Scope of Services Traffic Signal Upgrade City of Elgin Task V: Preliminary Engineering Study & Final Report Once a consensus has been reached by the City and all interested stakeholders with respect to the one-way versus two-way operation and the Grove Avenue "re-opening," final traffic signal system requirements and overall improvement recommendations can be developed. Based on coordination with City staff, the Fire Department pre-emption team, and any other groups involved in system communication needs (video, fiber optics, etc.) a traffic signal system schematic plan will be developed. This will serve as the foundation/ "backbone" for implementation of the various constructionprojects that will follow. Overall system requirements will be clearly identified as partof this plan so that as each project is constructed, the necessary infrastructure is developed to allow for future implementation of the total system. If street improvements and reconfigurations are necessary, a geometric plan for proposed CBD street improvements will be developed. Again, HLR has found it very effective to present proposed roadway changes graphically superimposed over aerial photography. Individual , ` intersection traffic signal requirements �'` will also be identified in addition to the - g , overall system requirements. Issues , , - _ such as replacement/ retrofitting of - signal heads with LED's can be - : examined and potential long-term cost ' r " savings from decreased energy consumption evaluated. A significant portion of the work under this task will include the development of planning level construction cost estimates and a construction implementation plan that will take into account projected annual budgetary constraints. It is anticipated as part of this scope that several different staging plans with associated cost estimates will have to be developed, reviewed by City staff, and then revised again for review until a consensus is reached with respect to implementation of the improvements. Coordination of schedule and scope with other upcoming capital improvements in the downtown will be an important part of this work task. All of this information along with a summary of the previous tasks will be compiled into a final report and presented to City staff for review. Provisions have been made in the proposal for an additional public meeting/ City Council presentation to summarize the overall project, the recommended improvements, estimated costs and implementation/ phasing options. A detailed listing of all work tasks anticipated to be conducted as part this study along with manhours and direct-cost estimates follows.

' VI announce and transmit the values of the communities they dwell in. 0 , Effective business district plans have always relied on analysis-based .4iid a strategic plans affirmed by community groups, businesses and - government. But with increasingly tight municipal budgets, growing citizen involvement and changing patterns of life, work and shopping today, an effective business district plan must be more; it must include organization structures--private public partnerships or designation of lead agencies—and reliable financing mechanisms. In other words, today, an effective business district plan must include implementation. For a decade and a half, BDI has developed and implemented effective business district plans in top communities throughout the Midwest. We have created thriving, marquee projects which attest to both community resilience and BDI skill in ensuring long term results. With deep roots in urban planning, commercial development and business management, and a flexible, hands-on approach, BDI empowers those developing a business district to define, progress toward and realize their commercial aspirations. The results are often dramatic. At the core of BDI's services is the situation audit; a "where-do-we-go-from-here" diagnosis of a business district's economic and physical conditions as well as its market demographics, retail mix and prevailing codes. From this analysis, BDI constructs a strategic plan. Using "visioning" workshops with constituent groups and the public and also expert input, the community will create a fully implementable operation plan. Retailer support and developer recruitment are the cornerstones of the plan as are staffing, management and continuing services. Developing a business district that answers community expectations and city revenue needs within municipal budget and scheduling parameters has never been more challenging. Yet never has it been more rewarding. Today's commercial district is not just an economic entity but an emotional and social one. It's a gathering place that connects a community's past and future and affirms its values and cultural identity. Let BDI help you develop yours. business districts.inc.
