Re: 47th Street Complete Street Plan

Dear Ms. Beth Dawson and members of the selection committee:

Things are happening on 47th Street! New development, infrastructure improvements, planning initiatives, and the plain hard work of commited stakeholders are setting the stage for a transformation of the corridor. Our team is pleased to submit our proposal for the 47th Street Complete Street Plan. Through this project, we believe that 47th Street and surrounding areas are poised to flourish and build on their strengths to become truly walkable, bikeable destinations. What is perhaps most exciting for our team is that this project is so very doable. Designing a complete street and connected improvements will present chal-lenges, but on the 47th Street corridor, each challenge offers a clear path that moves the project forward.

We believe we have the right team to help Westwood and its neighbors get the most out of the 47th Street corridor. We are eager to work with you to deliver a complete 47th Street corridor that lives up to every bit of the aspirations held by the com-munity. If you select our team, we promise:

Our Approach to Complete Street Design

The unique needs of a complete street set this project apart from a traditional roadway design and engineering project. And we think it requires a different kind of team as well. That’s why we’re eager to bring our skills and knowledge to tackle the 47th Street Complete Street Plan. We’re excited about the progress Westwood and its neighbors have already made in planning for and implementing an interconnected network of complete streets. We’re also excited about the future of 47th Street. We think the upside is huge, and the challenges are manageable.

Complete street design in the United States is undergoing rapid evolution. As demand for better streets and expanded transportation options grows, each new project refines our understanding: how to make streets safe and comfortable for all users, how to ensure they are designed to support business and spur investment, how to thoughtfully connect facilities in an interconnected network, and how to integrate improvements seamlessly with all modes and uses on a street.

The BikeWalkKC team works at the forefront of this evolving practice, engaging on multiple levels. We are users of these facilities, gaining first-hand experiential understanding of how they work well, and how they could be improved. We engage and cultivate a network of thought leaders and community implementers from across the country, and benefit from all the lessons we share together. We couple national best practice knowledge with a rich local understanding and local relationships that tailor outcomes to the Kansas City region. Finally, we bring creative and innovative design contributions from our own team members to this changing national landscape.

Our team recognizes that complete street design is not merely about how to accommodate various transportation modes in a narrow space. It is fundamentally about the quality of the experience on the street for all users. The interface between the street and adjacent uses, the location and mix of street furnishings and amenities, and the orientation of the street for activity and public use are all necessary for a successful street environment. Our team has a long track record of delivering projects that seamlessly blend vehicular, bicycle, and pedestrian traffic, and that carefully integrate mobility and activity in streets and public spaces.

Our team is committed to designing and implementing complete street improvements that get the very most out of the available space and resources, with projects that are:

FUNCTIONALBalance for all users, with smart, efficient design and that improves operations while enhancing safety

CONNECTEDSafe, continuous facilities for all modes as part of a larger network of mobility options

ACTIVEAn interesting, inviting and comfortable destination that encourages activity and increases the capacity of the corridor, and that supports adjacent uses

GREENMultifunction infrastructure that provides public space, stormwater management, street trees, and other benefits


EVAULATION AND ANALYSISWe understand the importance of having current traffic data for vehicles, pedestrians and bicyclists at critical intersections. We will use our state of the art Miovision Scout data collection cameras, which will allow us to count all modes at the same time. Any proposed intersection improvements will need to account for the limited right-of-way and the aesthetic improvements that already exist. We also propose an inventory of parking spaces in the 47th & Mission retail area. Data on the current surplus or shortage of parking spaces, along with patterns of utilization, will assist decisions about the use of ROW on 47th Street.

SETTING GOALS, DEVELOPING ALTLERNATIVES Within the confines of the 47th Street corridor, available space is finite. The challenge is how to balance all the activities and users of the street in a way that accommodates each successfully. Ultimately, decisions about street design involve tradeoffs, and those tradeoffs are based on the values of the community that use or might use the street. If we are selected for this work, our team will ultimately develop scenarios that are driven by the data we collect and the input we receive. These scenarios will be evaluated against a decision matrix that clearly lays out the choices and tradeoffs of each design decision.

IMPLEMENTING REAL PROJECTSIncreasingly, successful complete street projects are innovating new models for project delivery that demonstrate design creativity, iterative prototyping and testing, and rapid implementation that evolves in phases. This approach is second nature to the BikeWalkKC team, and we are eager to show its value in the design and engagement components of this project. While we believe the creativity, adaptability, and practicality of the BikeWalkKC team add great value, the foundation of our work is always the safety and functionality of the roadway for all users. Our team’s engineers and urban designers have decades of experience implementing quality projects, including roadways of all types and sizes, and complete streets, bicycle facilities, and shared paths in a wide range of environments. Our team will work hand in hand with Westwood to refine concepts, develop cost estimates, and create a path to implementation based on our rich understanding of project construction and financing strategies.

Project Understanding

Our team will develop road diet alternatives for 47th Street. With strong community and business support, both the Westwood and Rosedale Master Plans recommend reconfiguring the street from four to three lanes, allowing extra space to be reallocated for bicycle facilities, parking, or other improvements. We will engage stakeholders and analyze transportation data to confirm how a road diet can best serve everyone. A successful project will enhance mobility and access for pedestrians, cyclists, transit users, and drivers. A successful project must also help to create an interesting, inviting, and comfortable destination. As we plan for 47th Street, we think a key point to emphasize is that 47th Street has the capacity to meet everyone’s needs:

• Quality design can accommodate automobiletraffic AND create a great destination.

• 47th Street can function well for existingbusinesses AND respond to evolving mobilityand quality of life priorities.

• Improvements can be achievable while ALSObeing transformative.

In addition to 47th Street improvements, our team will help the City of Westwood to enhance an interconnected network of both on- and off-street bicycle and pedestrian facilities that links destinations throughout the community, including Westwood Park, Woodside Village, Woodside Health Club, schools and public facilities, and commercial nodes.

The Rosedale Master Plan explored bike lanes and parking

as part of a 4 to 3 lane conversion of 47th Street.

Design Challenges

We recognize that Westwood and its neighbors have already committed significant resources and community energy to develop and pursue a vision for the future of 47th Street and its surrounding connections. The 47th Street Complete Street Plan must build upon this work and make progress towards the community’s goals. Our team has been thinking about the specific challenges and opportunities on and around 47th Street, and we’re ready to tackle the following issues and others that may arise:

BIKE LANES OR PARKING?A four to three lane conversion of 47th Street frees up space in the right-of-way for other uses, including potential bike lanes and parking. Public meeting feedback through the Rosedale Master Plan process indicated support for bike lanes, but some businesses and other stakeholders have expressed interest in additional parking. Using data on traffic, parking demand, and bike/ped circulation, our team will work to develop design alternatives that reflect the priorities of community stakeholders, while striving to accommodate all users comfortably.

ACCESS TO SURROUNDING DESTINATIONSPublic feedback from the Westwood and Rosedale Master Planning efforts indicates that more people would walk and bike to and around 47th Street if the infrastructure made it safer and more comfortable to do so. Our team will identify and design critical infrastructure improvements on surrounding streets that link 47th Street and nearby destinations.

INTERSECTION OPERATIONS Initial analysis suggests that a four to three lane conversion could not only support a better bicycle or pedestrian environment, but also improve the operations of the intersection at 47th and Mission for automobiles. This includes potentially eliminating a signal phase, and reducing wait and travel times through the corridor. Our team will study design alternatives for the 47th and Mission intersection that result in a safer and more functional intersection for all users

ADDITIONAL SAFE CROSSINGS ON 47TH STDespite marked crosswalks at Belinder Road/Fisher Street, crossing 47th Street between Rainbow Boulevard and Mission Road is a challenge. As part of our Complete Street design efforts, our team will identify the best locations and improvements to enhance the safety and comfort of crossing, including locations at Belinder and the Northwood shopping center, where there are recent sidewalk and crosswalk improvements and people are already crossing mid-block.

ACCOMMODATING SPECIAL MOBILITY NEEDSThe need for accessible pedestrian accommodations on 47th Street is not just hypothetical. Our team understands that residents who are blind and have other special needs use the corridor daily and depend on the quality and design of infrastructure to safely pursue their activities. Our team will bring our expertise in ADA design to the corridor to ensure people of all abilities and needs can travel in the corridor safely.

challenging, but an existing gas

easement could provide an off-street

alternative.

47th lacks comfortable crossings

between Rainbow and Mission. Our

team will expore improvements

including at 47th and Belinder/Fisher.


Engagement

For our team, engagement is absolutely critical to the success of the project. Our team understands that Westwood maintains ongoing relationship with its diverse, but close-knit constituents, including residents, businesses, property owners, and major institutions. Learning where the aspirations of these stakeholders intersect, align, and conflict is essential to inform the various design decisions that will emerge through this complete street design process. More importantly, it is the successful engagement and inclusion of community stakeholders in design decisions that builds the consensus for implementation. Without that consensus, a successful project cannot move forward. In a right-of-way where many needs and uses are competing for limited space, the importance of that consensus cannot be underestimated.

BUILDING MOMENTUM WITH THE COMMUNITY The BikeWalkKC team brings unique engagement capabilities to this project. As a regional advocacy organization, BikeWalkKC maintains a database of passionate and motivated stakeholders, including those who live in Westwood, those who work or visit Westwood, and those who are interested in everything 47th Street has to offer if only it were a little bit easier to get around without a car. Our relationships with community organizations and stakeholders enable us to mobilize stakeholders in ways others cannot. Members of our team brought Better Block to Kansas City in 2012, and no one in the region has more experience in successfully organizing and deploying these types of demonstrations. In the past we have conducted on-the-ground walking and biking tours that provide a unique perspective for stakeholders, and we are prepared to supply a fleet of bicycles for community leaders and stakeholders to do just that.

Stakeholders have already been engaging about the future

of 47th Street. Rosedale Master Plan public meeting

participants expressed a preference for bike lanes, but

some business owners were interested in additional

parking. For this project, our team will broaden outreach

to Westwood and beyond to identify community priorities

and build buy-in for design alternatives.


Engagement

WORKING HAND-IN-HAND WITH PROPERTY OWNERS47th Street is the front door to numerous property and business owners who will all be directly impacted by modifications to the corridor. Any design alternatives or infrastructure improvements must be developed while working hand-in-hand with these stakeholders, and the project results must address their needs to be successful. In conjunction with steering committee guidance and walking and biking tours with the property owners, our team proposes one-on-one meetings where we begin with a “blank canvas” and involve them directly in our creation of alternatives. We have successfully used this approach in Branson, MO, where we established over ninety partnerships with owners who became such champions of the project that they voted to establish a new taxing jurisdiction to expand the scope. Meanwhile in Parkville, MO, members of our team arrived at unanimous property owner consensus on a complete street design for Route 9 that included expansion of the right-of-way and reconfiguration of private drives and parking areas in many places. By engaging stakeholders about their concerns and aspirations, our team is able to apply a broad community vision for the street in a way that meets the needs of individual stakeholders.

AN EVENING WITH GLEN’S AUTOMOTIVEOne of the stakeholders in the Route 9 Corridor Plan was Glen, owner of Glen’s Automotive. Glen is a trusted community member, and longtime presence in Downtown Parkville. Members of our team spent several hours one weekday evening talking to Glen about what was happening on the street in front of his business. We talked about how the delivery trucks navigated his shallow driveway. We talked about the history of Parkville and what he and his neighbors loved about it. We talked about the town gossip, and including the real estate deals that were happening around his shop. We talked with his customers as they filtered through to drop off and pick up their cars. Over the course of the evening, we learned a lot about what Glen needed and wanted the road to do, and how changes to the road would impact his business. Glen may have learned a few things too, from some of his customers who would gladly park on the side of the building if the sidewalks in front could be improved. This story was one of dozens. Combined, all of these stories lead to community trust in the process, and buy-in for improvements.

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHERAll of our team’s engagement approaches center on timely, useful, and innovative engagement strategies that involve a series of strategic and interactive conversations designed to purposefully seek input from a broad range of targeted and interested parties about the goals, impacts, and implementation steps connected to projects. We engage all parties in a way that folds their concerns and potential strategies for addressing them into the planning process and implementation effort , while demonstrating how the planning team is incorporating the feedback gathered into plan recommendat ions and implementat ion . Recognizing that meetings are not effective for reaching all stakeholder groups, our team incorporates online commenting and social media into its engagement activities as an alternative and has found that doing so is an effective strategy for connecting with younger generations, busy families, and older adults who are unable to attend in-person meetings.

Armour Blvd Bikeway Engagement & Technical AssistanceKANSAS CITY, MISSOURI I BIKEWALKKC

Upon learning the City of Kansas City was planning to use CMAQ funding to

repaint fading sharrows on Armour Boulevard in Kansas City, Missouri, members

of the community reached out to BikeWalkKC staff to provide technical support

and design services to make the case for traffic calming and roadway re-

channelization. BikeWalkKC assembled a strong coalition of neighborhood

leaders and found support from major property owners, city council members,

and other key stakeholders. BikeWalkKC worked with Kansas City’s Public

Works Department to redefine the scope of the project to include dedicated bike

lanes along with a significant road diet. The end result will likely be implementation

of the metro area’s first protected bike lane. At 1.5 miles long, it would be one of

the longest continuous protected bike lanes in the Midwest.

Here we see that the most impoverished census tracts in the city currently have no bike lanes serving them. The map shown below highlights the city’s census tracts by the percentage of households with no access to a car - in the darkest shades of blue 14% or more households have no car. Many of the tracts exceed 40%. And nearly all of the dark blue tracts are within Council districts 3, 4 and 5.

It stands to reason that areas with the highest concentration of people without cars should have the highest demand for alternative modes of transportation and so it is no surprise that, as the images show below, transit and bike commuting are highest in these underserved census tracts.

And, how many people are shut out of the job market or struggle to get to everyday necessities because investment in alternative transportation modes is so low in the areas where it is most needed?

For a look at relative job access of various bicycle infrastructure projects in KCMO below are two examples of linear bike facilities. Both are approximately 5.25 miles long, one is real and the other theoretical. This exercise is merely to compare access to jobs and the value of bike facilities as transportation corridors and not an indictment recreational trails.

CompleteKC | Street Design Guidance and VisualizationKANSAS CITY, MISSOURI I BIKEWALKKC

In 2014 BikeWalkKC developed a campaign to build awareness of the community

benefits of complete streets. As part of a multi-faceted outreach campaign,

posters were fastened to posts at eight major intersections along a two-mile

stretch of Broadway Boulevard in Kansas City, MO. Each poster included a

unique fictional vignette alongside a visual rendering of that particular intersection

oriented in such a way that a person on the sidewalk could easily make a side-

by-side comparison of the street in its current state with an image of a completely

reimagined version. This campaign was coordinated with a BetterBlockKC event

to increase visibility and leverage additional community energy. Ultimately

CompleteKC expanded and evolved into an online complete street design

resource for community advocates and local public agencies based on national

best practices and extensive literature review. CompleteKC serves as the basis

for much of BikeWalkKC neighborhood advocacy workshops and public agency

training.

transformed into a living demonstration of a green, complete and livable

community asset, including a two-way protected cycletrack. The physical

streetscape was transformed through temporary trees, lighting, landscaping,

crosswalks, street furniture, and more. Artists, performers, local vendors, and

pop-up businesses showed the potential for increasing the vitality of the area.

Thomas led a strategy to engage community support, showcase transformative

opportunities, and encourage City leadership to support a “grand” boulevard

as a game changer in Kansas City. Since 2012, BetterBlockKC has flourished

as a grassroots volunteer movement, and Thomas has remained engaged in

the design and implementation of additional Better Block events on

Main, Broadway, the West Bottoms, and Pendleton Heights.

Grand Boulevard Complete Street Plan*KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

Thomas Morefield, now Community Planning Manager for BikeWalkKC, and Jim

Schuessler, now with CFS, worked with numerous City, community, and design

partners on the “Making Grand Grand” plan to create a sustainable complete

street on one Kansas City’s largest boulevards. The concept for Grand is a

complete street in every sense. A reduction of travel lanes from five to three

provided the capacity to enhance pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities in a

corridor that remains functional for automobiles. Stormwater management

features, a new canopy of street trees, and dramatically enhanced landscaping

create a green spine and linear park environment that links major destinations

through the heart of Downtown, making Grand a true boulevard. By integrating

public spaces and street design elements with adjacent land uses, Grand was

designed as a true economic development catalyst and multi-function amenity

that does much more than move vehicles from point a to b. Since the completion

of the “Making Grand Grand Plan,” the City has completed detailed traffic analysis

confirming the viability of a road diet, and secured funding for on-street bicycle

infrastructure as interim steps to the ultimate vision for a more complete corridor.

Transit-Oriented Development Policy*KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

Thomas Morefield, now Community Planning Manager for BikeWalkKC, played a

central role in drafting Kansas City’s Transit-Oriented Development Policy. With

the success of the Downtown Streetcar and planning for new high service bus

routes, development is beginning to accelerate in the city’s transit corridors. It

is becoming necessary to more carefully consider the values that should inform

policy, design decisions, and public investments in the area. Kansas City’s

Transit-Oriented Development Policy provides a comprehensive set of

recommendations based on best practices from peer and aspirational cities. It

organizes these best practices into recommendations related to Connectivity,

Density, Development, and Design, relates those recommendations to other

citywide strategies, and assigns City departments and non-City agencies to

become champions that implement each recommendation. The document is

organized for maximum clarity and legibility for policymakers, stakeholders, and

the greater public, and recommendations cut across multiple City departments

and non-City agencies to form strategies for the zoning code, design guidelines,

tax incentives strategy, and interagency coordination.

Kansas City seeks to engage residents

who ride bicycles but are hesitant

to call themselves cyclists. Residents

would like to bike more but are

uncomfortable navigating the city’s

limited cycling infrastructure. Shared

use trails, protected and buffered bike

lanes, and neighborhood streets that

are designated bicycle boulevards would

appeal to those who prefer a separation

from traffic. Broadening the types of

bikeway facilities and developing the

tools needed to create them is essential.

The Bike KC Toolkit is a key component

for the development and implementation

of these types of facilities in Kansas

City. During the planning and adoption

process, Vireo provided assistance with

GIS mapping, meeting facilitation, and

document layout.

The City of Kansas City, Missouri plans to upgrade Englewood Road from Waukomis Drive to U.S. 169 from an unimproved two-lane road to a Complete Street boulevard with one travel lane in each direction, bicycle lanes, trail, street lights, and storm drainage system.

The design team was charged with surveying, preparing right-of-way plans and exhibits, utility coordination, and permitting.

Vireo’s role included developing streetscape plans and trail design for the corridor.

Rob Richardson, Planning DirectorUnified Government of Wyandotte County - Kansas City, KS913-575-5774 [email protected]

The Vireo-led consultant team developed the K-32 Tri-City Multimodal Redevelopment Plan in partnership with The Unified Government of Wyandotte County – Kansas City and the Cities of Bonner Springs and Edwardsville, Kansas (Tri-Cities) and in coordination with the Kansas Department of Transportation and Mid-America Regional Council. The corridor’s community-inspired vision is to “create a regional destination characterized by green industries and business parks, attractive development, strong downtowns, and recreational areas set within a scenic and friendly environment that is accessible to residents and visitors by walking, biking, riding transit, and/or driving”. Twenty-five meetings and a series of opinion polls helped community members identify key corridor challenges, opportunities, and potential focus areas. Community ideas plus additional research and analysis framed the range of recommendations in the plan, including those for redevelopment, parks and greenways, transportation, infrastructure, place-making, environmental considerations, and financing improvements.

Vireo Fee

$120,000

Vireo recently worked with the Mid-America Regional Council, eight counties and cities across the region to pool resources and craft a cohesive plan for non-motorized transportation throughout the Kansas City area.

Vireo led the team, working with MARC and representatives from the counties and many of the 109 cities involved to evaluate current plans and programs, analyze the current network and develop strategies for connecting the entire metro area.

The process involved a great deal of community outreach, as the effort seeks to include the input of the area’s residents and develop a plan for facilities that serves as many as possible, as efficiently as possible.

The region includes:

• 45 miles of bike lanes• 83 miles of mountain bike trails• 175 miles of walking / hiking trails• 188 miles of bike routes• 225 miles of “share the road” bikeways• 555 miles of paved trails

Greater Kansas City Regional Bike PlanKansas City Metro Area



Vireo’s bike/ped planners and public engagement staff are currently working with the Metropolitan Topeka Planning Organization to complete the city’s first-ever pedestrian master plan. The goal of the plan is to create safe and connected walkways between schools, parks, shopping districts, workplaces and other popular destinations.

The implementation of the plan is expected to have health benefits to existing residents and contribute to the economic development of the area.

Our bike/ped planners and public engagement staff are working with the project team and members of the community to identify key goals, top issues and necessary improvements for walkability in the neighborhoods in and around Topeka. This includes targeting locations for improved street crossings and sidewalks.

The project team is using a mix of public meetings, media outreach and online engagement tools to inform the citizenry and cultivate feedback.

The Vireo team worked with City of Kansas City staff, Mid-America Regional Council (MARC) representatives, and the Project Advisory Committee in a thorough analysis of the 75th Street and Wornall Road intersection. The analysis addressed traffic capacity, roadway safety and walkability of the intersection and surrounding area.

During a 3-day workshop in Waldo, our team worked with staff and the Committee to better understand the existing conditions of the intersection and surrounding area. The workshop consisted of daily discussions, a walking audit of the existing conditions, concept generation and development, and several public open houses to gather additional feedback. Components of the Streetscape Master Plan, which was recently adopted by the Community Improvement District (CID), were a part of our approach throughout.

The resulting project goals were to improve the efficiency of traffic flow and to maintain or enhance the walkability of the entire area. Impacts on the Trolley Track Trail crossing and the existing bus routes which stop at the adjacent park-and-ride facility were evaluated at every step of the analysis.

The City of Kansas City, Missouri plans to upgrade Waukomis Drive from I-29 to NW 62nd Street from an unimproved two-lane road to a Complete Street parkway with one travel lane in each direction, median, bicycle lanes, trail, street lights, and storm drainage system with best management practices (BMP’s).

The design team was charged with surveying, designing the roadway, preparing right-of-way and construction plans, performing utility coordination, and environmental permitting.

Vireo’s role included developing landscape plans for the roadway and roundabout at Frank Vaydik Park and environmental permitting for the corridor.
