Agenda Item 3B ~ Full Staff Report

The Downtown Streetscape Master Plan was funded in the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). There is no additional fiscal impact related to this action. Implementation of the overall Master Plan is not currently budgeted, and staff will identify appropriate funding opportunities to move forward the enclosed recommendations.

The Council approved a professional services agreement with Toole Design on April 18, 2023. The project schedule included an existing conditions review, an extensive community engagement process through charettes, open studios and popups, and public meeting opportunities.

 

Background

In 2022, the Coastside Recovery Initiative report, “Building a More Equitable, Vibrant, and Resilient Coastside Economy,” recommended a redesign of downtown Main Street to improve the mobility, economic activity, and vibrancy of the downtown core.

City Council approved the Downtown Streetscape Master Plan as part of the FY 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program. This initial phase of work had a primary deliverable of producing a Master Plan that would:

• Create a more attractive, accessible, and economically vibrant downtown

• Preserve and enhance the existing character of downtown

• Prioritize improvements that benefit residents and visitors alike
