With this motion the agreement will be executed and the project will begin. Overview As planning for the SW LRT progressed, the vision of 8th Avenue as the connector from the SW LRT station on Excelsior Boulevard to Mainstreet has solidified. In order for 8th Avenue to be a gateway, the uses along and design of 8th Avenue must be transformed into an inviting pedestrian, bike, and automobile corridor. To further enhance the experience, art will be used to tell the story of Hopkins and draw people along the two - block stretch. The City applied for a grant to hire a consultant to facilitate a community Art Summit, use the input from the Summit to inform design concepts, solicit feedback on the concepts and conclude with a design plan, cost estimate and ideas for implementation funding. Five proposals were received, and the Artery committee interviewed three firms. The unanimous recommendation was the IBI Group partnered with HKGI and Forecast Public Art. The project is expected to begin this fall and conclude by mid - 2013. The contract will incorporate the scope and deliverables referenced in the proposal attached to this report with one change that will eliminate one additional staff member participating in the Art Summit. That change is being made to bring the project in at the budgeted amount of $50,000. It is expected to be available by the City Council meeting on October 2, 2012. Primary Issue to Consider The costs of the consultant contract will be paid for through a $50,000 Local Implementation Capacity grant administered by the Metropolitan Council.

Scope of Work iOrI 0 W -Lr] { 01 f]"'N I JrIity "The consultant will work with The ARTery committee to design a community art summit, anticipated to take place in November 2012." Purpose To brainstorm how 1) art can be used to draw future LRT riders from Excelsior Boulevard to Hopkin's historic downtown, and 2) develop consensus around mediums, messages, and placement of art. Nlothodo'.ogy The IBI Group team will facilitate a weekend Art Summit at a location to be determined, working with invited local government, transit agency and community representatives and, possibly, select members of the larger Twin Cities arts community. Locally based Hoisington Koegler Group Inc (HKGi) will be responsible for the Summit's logistics working in close concert with the City of Hopkins to secure a suitable venue, invite participants and ensure, generally, that the Summit operates to maximum potential. Facilitation for the Art Summit will be handled by Gary Andrishak, IBI .Group, Director and Project Manager for the assignment, which has a long history of facilitating visioning workshops. In addition, the overall functioning of the Summit process will be strengthened by the inclusion on the team of David Aulwes, IBI Group, who holds a certificate from the National Charrette Institute. Given that Mr. Andrishak served as Project Manager for the prior City of Hopkins Station Area Plan (2007), he is well versed in the relationship of the 8th Avenue Corridor as a link connecting the transit station at Excelsior Boulevard with downtown Hopkins. Program content will be the purview of Jack Becker, Forecast Public Art, who will provide an aerial view of the merits of the variety of mediums, messages, and placement of art within the study area. Prior to the Art Summit, Becker will perform location analysis of the study area, and prepare a powerpoint presentation to familiarize Summit attendees with the broad diversity of public art possibilities available to Hopkins. To seed the Summit discussion, Mr. Andrishak will lead off with a slide presentation outlining the urban design potential of the 8th Avenue corridor in terms of community placemaking and wayfinding (visual and physical linkage with Southwest LRT station) while Becker will deliver a presentation on the potential of the ARTery to fulfill the promise of reinforcing the City of Hopkins' cultural aspirations. 4 AUGUST 31, 2012 IBI GROUP RFP: THE ARTERY - HOPKINS. MN It is envisioned that the Summit will run one full day, preferably a Saturday, running from, say, 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM. The charrette process will begin with a plenary session, split into working team breakouts over a working lunch, and then reconvene to report out on team activities and determine next steps. It is anticipated that at conclusion of the day an emerging vision statement will have been achieved.

The consultant will develop a series of concept plans (identifying) mediums, messages, interactive pieces, other design elements and the infrastructure needed to accommodate the art." Purpose To merge the vision with regard to the ARTery Summit's intended vision with the physical opportunities/constraints of Hopkin's 8th Avenue corridor. Methodology Beginning with the base mapping that was developed for the ARTery Summit, IBI Group in concert with HKGI will establish a series of design criteria that will be used to judge the merits of various scenarios for the art corridor. Assessment criteria will include the character and performance of: • Mediums/Messages/Materials • Sidewalks/Crosswalks • Continuous Building Wall AUGUST 31, 2012 5 IBI GROUP RFP: THE ARTERY - HOPKINS. MN • Pocket Parks/Public Plazas • Retail Opportunities • Redevelopment Opportunities • Views & Vistas • Temporal Uses — day time/night time; week day/weekend; seasonal — Summer Solstice/Winter Solstice, etc. Another important consideration is the potential to externalize the public art budget for the upcoming Hopkins Downtown LRT, possibility moving the art out of the station and onto the transit plaza, to serve as a visual terminus of the art corridor and, in the process "seed" the delivery of public art along 8th Avenue. From the careful analysis of the assessment criteria, the IBI Group team will develop three (3) alternative development scenarios for consideration by the client group. Beyond costing analysis, the team will provide implications associated with all options offered (such as production scheduling, selection methodology, and maintenance issues). Alternative concepts will be developed in site plan, street elevation, and 3D modeling using Sketch -up software. The 3D visualization process will be performed by Warren Rempel, IBI Group Associate, who has solid knowledge of the City of Hopkins due to his prior work of the 2007 Hopkins Station Area Plan. Gary Andrishak, IBI Group Project Manager will lead the presentation of alternative concepts to the client group.

HKG1 Experience PROJECT EXPERIENCE ti OSSEO ;TRAL AVENUE STREETSCAPE OSSEO, MINNESOTA Hoisington Koegler Group designed a $1.7 million streetscape reconstruction of Central Ave in Osseo, MN. The design is framed by complete street and sustainable design principles including bike corrals, pedestrian furniture, a one -block plaza street, LED lighting, pervious pavers, and structural soil. The street is a balanced environment for pedestrians, bicyclists, and autos and offers flexible spaces that can be closed to autos for community events. An important aspect of project design is the ability to disassemble and reinstall it like a "kit of parts°to accommodate future redevelopment. To envision a design for the Central Avenue streetscape that reflected community values and desires, the design process was organized around extensive community involvement. HKGi's design process infused streetscape orientation workshops to introduce the community to the topic of streetscapes, the varying levels of streetscape investment, ongoing maintenance strategies, and the potential pitfalls and benefits of streetscapes. The process also included open houses that involved the community in identifying desired levels of investment, design character and streetscape features. The project has been well received by the local business community and the design industry and was recently acknowledged by the American Public Works Association with an award of excellence.

We worked closely with SRF to identify opportunities for traffic calming, seating, and planters to enhance the pedestrian experience adjacent to a planned mixed-use private development project and anticipated future transit -oriented development efforts. Once strategic locations were determined and a budget was established, Forecast facilitated the search for an artist to create functional elements, including seating, planters, and bollards. We worked closely with a community group to facilitate the selection of an artist and helped the city through the contracting process. St. Paul artist Marjorie Pitz created a series of folk -art inspired, sculptural elements to create a sense of whimsy and delight along a four - block stretch of the corridor, utilizing cast concrete figures and formliner reliefs.

Guiding Study Principle: Complete Communities Neighborhood self-sufficiency and reduction of sprawl realized by the integration of transportation and land use planning, as well as other elements—such as market demands, environmental constraints/opportunities, community input, and technical efficiencies—in a'seamless' planning process. { Guiding Study Principle: Transit -Oriented Development (TOD) Compact, mixed-use, and pedestrian -friendly neighborhoods containing a range of housing types, workplaces, shops, entertainment, schools, parks, and civic facilities essential to the daily lives of residents—all within an easy 5 to 10 minute walk from a transit station. 3 URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: CITY OF HOPKINS MN, HOPKINS STATION AREA PLAN Transit Station Area Planning The consultant team investigated future land use impacts/ development opportunities adjacent to each transit station. It is suggested that development of TOD urban villages be pursued in response to this task. One of the goals of the Hopkins Station Area Planning Study is to begin to add insight and character to each of the proposed station areas. To better comment on the appropriateness of each proposed transit station site, the City of Hopkins needs to know the following information: • Where in relationship to existing conditions will the transit station be located? How will its platform be expanded, downstream, to accommodate longer trains? • Where will Park -and -Ride ramps be located in relation to transit stations to make the transfer from the parking ramp to the station platform as simple as possible? • How will convenient Kiss -and -Ride drop-off be accommodated adjacent the station? • What form will the transit plaza take regarding the need to serve both transit riders and site redevelopment? • What land is available near the transit station to support TOD mixed-use residential communities?

HOPKINS STATION AREA PLAN 4.0 Transit Station Access A task of the Hopkins Station Area Development Planing Study regards the development of Access/ Circulation Plans to better understand how transit users will get to -and -from designated transit stations. Park -and -Ride and preferred access components are provided below. Light Rail (LRT) Route Park -and -Ride • • LRT 1A Route LRT 3A or 30 Route One of the benefits within the City of Hopkins as the site of multiple LRT transit LRT Station stations, is the ability of the two outlying stations to service commuter traffic from ® Heavy Rail adjacent communities.

These arrows help to illustrate the routes to ensure that the stations are conveniently located and to determine where problems might potentially exist regarding community shortcutting. 9 URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: CITY OF HOPKINS MN, HOPKINS STATION AREA PLAN 5.0 Downtown Connectivity One task of the study regards suggestions of ho,,v best to link the Hopkins Downtown station to the City's downtown core. The proposed solution offers to add urban character and unique identity to the downtown area. 10 The City of Hopkins had, initially, lobbied for an LRT alignment that would move off of the designated rail corridor at 5th Avenue, just west of the 1-169 overpass, traveling throughout downtown Hopkins along Main Street before rejoining the existing rail corridor at Shady Oak Road. This rerouting proved unworkable, so the consultant team was instructed by the client to pay particular attention to ways in which the City's historic Main Street could be strongly linked to the Downtown Hopkins' station. Concepts and Options The consultant team looked at a number of options, covering a wide range of cost and user impacts, as follows: 8th Avenue Promenade The re -designation of the sidewalks along 8th Avenue between Main Street and Excelsior Boulevard as a quality pedestrian environment—tree lined boulevards, sidewalk pavers, enhanced street lighting, and complete with banner arms, etc. This action is suggested to visually and physically improve the link between the City's Main Street "heart" and its transit connection to points beyond Hopkins. Streetcar -type Bus A rubber -tired bus fit out to look like a traditional streetcar or trolley, to shuttle back and forth along 8th Avenue between Main Street and the Hopkins Downtown LRT station just south of Excelsior Boulevard. Retrofitted Trolley Car Gemaco Trolley, of Ida Grove, Iowa, is in the business of restoring old trolleys, at a fraction of the cost of a new fixed rail streetcar. It is proposed that they be contracted to supply a bi-directional car to shuttle back -and -forth between Main Street and the Downtown LRT station. Local Bus Loop Last, it is suggested that a short wheelbase, high frequency local bus service could be initiated to run eastward along Main Street, turning south on 8th Avenue, turning west again at Excelsior and northward along Shady Oak Road, with the prospect of new mid -density development in the northwest sector of Hopkins. URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: CITY OF HOPKINS MN, HOPKINS STATION AREA PLAN The concepts analyzed are not mutually exclusive of one another. For example the 8th Avenue Promenade and either the retrofitted trolley or the streetcar -type bus could work in combination with the Local Bus Loop. Light Rail (LRT) Route A major issue of concern for the City of Hopkins is that of connectivity to the downtown • m • LRT 1A Route core. Had the LRT corridor run down Main Street this would not have been an issue, but LRT 3A or 3C Route as it passes by diagonally along Excelsior Boulevard, connections to the downtown are LRT Station crucial, given that Hopkins' unique, largely intact traditional Main Street can be used as a Heavy Rail marketing point of difference on the merits of living or working within the city. City of Hopkins Boundary In response to this issue, the consultant team proposes two options: Regional Trail ■ . • Circulator Bus A traditional -type fixed -rail street car shuttling back and forth between Main Street ■ ■ ■ Shuttle Tram and the Hopkins Downtown station, along the west side of 8th Ave. The east side of the street would be developed as a generous, tree -lined boulevard to encourage pedestrian traffic between the two points or; • A short wheelbase circulator bus running in a one-way loop from Shady Oak North, eastward along Main Street, turning south along 5th Ave, running westbound along Excelsior Boulevard and northbound along Shady Oak to complete the circuit. In this manner, the "circulator" could connect to anticipated development, and subsequent ridership, along Shady Oak North. The City of Hopkins Station Area Planning process added to a local understanding - and general acceptance of the concept of LRT service generally, and TOD opportunities specifically, moving the combined concept one step closer to reality. m URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: CITY OF HOPKINS MN, HOPKINS STATION AREA PLAN Integrated Practices E.

TRANSPORTATION/URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: PASCO COUNTY, FL-U.S, 19 MULTI -MODAL CONNECTiVITY AND DESIGN STANDARDS STUDY Ili Pasco County, FL Citizens and their representatives across North America are recognizing the need to develop safer, balanced communities where residents have access to efficient tre nsportation alternatives. Legend 1/4 Mile Study Corridor Zone Pasco County Interstate Highways State Roads — Roads Adjacent Counties Parks Waterbody City Limits 0 Intersections Pasco County, Florida, commissioned IBI Group to assist in the development of a Corridor Plan for U.S. 19 that runs north/south through its boundaries. The corridor is located at the northern extent of the Tampa Bay Metropolitan Area, parallel to the Gulf of Mexico. This study reviews and analyzes the entire corridor within Pasco County and at key intersections, where greater analysis is warranted. The plan seeks to present an alternative to conventional highway development in Florida where the automobile takes precedent over pedestrians, cyclists, public transit and roadside redevelopment. This plan does not seek to subvert or replace the car, but rather to work with existing transportation plans and traffic patterns to bring a sense of balance back to the neighborhoods affected by the highway while allowing for the efficient movement of people along a spectrum of transportation choices. TRANSPORTATION/URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: PASCO COUNTY, FL -U.S. 19 MULTI -MODAL CONNECTIVITY AND DESIGN STANDARDS STUDY Introduction t 1M The transformation of U.S. 19 into a multi -way boulevard makes a compelling argument to achieve a more balanced approach to community redevelopment in Pasco County, Florida. KEY PROJECT FACTS Role Corridor Master Planning Client Pasco County Planning and Growth Management Department Location Pasco County, FL Dates of Service 2010-2011 Project Status Completed Pasco County is in search of planning and development policies that call for the transformation of U.S. 19 from a roadway focused on moving large amounts of traffic as quickly as possible, with highly auto -oriented adjacent land uses, into a multi -modal roadway corridor serving transit -oriented development. Project Components 0 Review of Previously Completed Work 0 Stakeholder & Community Education 0 Existing Conditions Analysis 0 Corridor Analysis 0 Corridor Design Toolbox 0 Implementation Plan At the onset of this study, IBI Group met with Pasco County staff to review the work program, discuss the roles and responsibili- ties of the project team before beginning the corridor analysis. The multiway boulevard, a roadway typology more common in European and Central/South America, emerged as a balanced approach to transform U.S. 19 while mitigating community transportation conflicts. . This project makes policy recommendations for how Pasco County can realize its vision for an efficient and modern transportation network that improves the lives of residents and visitors. These recommendations combined with guidelines presented in this document collectively work to improve the everyday experience for thousands of residents and commuters who travel along the corridor.

This served to broadly familiarize the team with the prior work related to U.S. 19 and was useful in identifying functional issues and problems related to key nodes and specific components to the corridor. Concise summaries that focused on the public and private realm interface, vehicular and pedestrian conflicts and unique or definable qualities of the corridor were prepared. Stakeholder and Community Education Pasco County staff coordinated and conducted the stakeholder and community engagement task for the study. The County hosted a series of workshops throughout the spring of 2011 and the project team utilized the information gathered from the workshops to inform corridor priorities and designs. Participants answered a series of survey questions that tested public support for principles, priorities, neighborhood concerns and ideas. TRANSPORTATION/ URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: PASCO COUNTY. FL -U.S. 19 MULTI -MODAL CONNECTIVITY AND DESIGN STANDARDS STUDY Existing Conditions Inventory The U.S. 19 corridor was documented in great detail and information was gathered from a multitude of sources and databases. Five segments were reviewed in greater detail than the rest of the corridor with cartographic and photographic descriptions of the character of each segment. Additionally, roadway elements, speed limits, accident data, and demographic and transportation data were presented. Aerial photos demonstrated the natural and man-made elements of the five main intersections. These maps show the road network, property boundaries, building footprints and natural features.

Little Road TRANSPORTATION/URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: PASCO COUNTY, FL—U.S. 19 MULTI -MODAL CONNECTIVITY AND DESIGN STANDARDS STUDY (,> Corridor Analysis Overtime, the scale of the U.S. 19 roadway and the surrounding development patterns have changed significantly. Today the corridor carries a very high level of traffic and represents one of the busiest boulevards in the country. An in-depth analysis of the corridor was necessary to examine ways to achieve multi -modal connectivity in an effort to make U.S. 19 more livable and less of a barrier to other interests. The Project Team collaborated with the County GIS staff to map varying sections of the corridor, by documenting the characteristics and how each section of the corridor is being used. A Multi -modal Conceptual Improvement Plan was developed describing the differences between a stan- dard boulevard and a multi -way boulevard and how each typology can respond to the various segments of the U.S. 19 corridor. Analysis of pedestrian and bicycle facilities, transit services, and intersection components provide a basis for developing specific interventions along the corridor. Finally, the multi -way boulevard concept is graphically presented at key intersections and shows how high levels of traffic can be accommodated without sacrificing pedestrian, cycling and transit accessibility and safety. Cross-sections along the corridor demonstrate the functionality of the typology and a proportion analysis depicts how development patterns should contribute to the creation of a well-proportioned streetscape. Right-of-way impacts are pinpointed along the segments to show where the property impacts are the greatest.

Proposed character descriptions and images give the reader a sense of how the area could be transformed into a cohesive, well-designed focal point. 3D renderings of the roadway configurations demonstrate how a balance is struck between traffic fluidity while protecting pedestrians and accessibility. General urban design guidelines serve to provide a set of tools and language to discuss future development projects and public realm improvements in Pasco County. These concepts discuss the relationships of buildings and land uses to the streetscape, pedestrian access and circulation, parking, activity areas and vehicular circulation.

IBI Group believes that through a measured approach several of the proposed technologies will positively contribute to the richness of the public realm and urban design along No.3 Road and at Canada Line Station Plazas. URBAN LAND CASE STUDY: CITY OF RICHMOND BC, CANADA LINE MULTIMEDIA INFORMATION DISPLAY & ADVERTISING INTEGRATION WITH NO.3 ROAD RESTORATION Appropriate Advertising Technologies Defined IBI Group believes that though a measured approach several of the advertising proposed technologies will positively contribute to the r!ohness o` the public realm and urban design along No.3 Road and a` Lin -e S?ation Plazas. On March 14th, 2008, IBI Group and City representatives reviewed and evaluated the various technologies that have been proposed. These technologies under consideration include: Interactive Projection Technologies by Living Surfaces Projected images and motion detectors so that the images respond/ interact with pedestrians. We do not support the use of this technology believing it will not contribute towards achieving the vision for No. 3 Road. This product may compete for attention with other preferable technologies. It is important that these technologies be employed judiciously to become a timeless feature in the urban environment and not contribute to a streetscape that is cluttered and over -stimulating. We are interested in the use of gobo light projection for a portion of the eastside of No.3 Road. The No. 3 Road Restoration preliminary design contemplated the use of gobo tech- nology and City's Special Projects Office is in the process of arranging a demonstration for Council of special effects lighting. Ideally, the projection could take on a seasonal reference. Revolution 360 High Resolution Displays by Litelogic Free standing stainless stee' kiosks. This technology will allow for a 1/3 portion of the image be designated to a proposed City's 'art poster' program to advertise City events/programs. It is important that these kiosks be installed in locations that are mindful of their relationship to the guideway columns and other streetscape furnishing and appointments. Evolution LED Displays by Litelogic Surface mounted LED screens. We are interested in exploring how the modular format of this product may allow it to be applied as a faceted guideway column surround. Litelogic is currently strategizing on how this product might be fabricated. Interactive Kiosks and Station Posters by !Gotcha Interactive kiosks to access City info, download videos. take/send photos and shopping online. We do not support these activities as part of the urban design program as it invites a range of activities that do not necessarily fit into the idea of place making objectives. It should be noted that TransLink has undertaken a system wide wayfinding study that will likely result in a comprehensive wayfinding program that may contemplate the use of some interactive technologies. We would be supportive in principle of a network wide interactive TransLink sponsored wayfinding system. Guideway LED Screens by Orion We are interested in the use of large LED Screens at each Canada Line Station including Aberdeen, Lansdowne and Richmond -Brighouse. IBI Group does not support putting screens on the guideway. Screens on the guideway do not fit within our vision for an integrated design approach. We believe that they will look like an afterthought and work at cross purposes with the streetscape design by competing for driver attention along with planting, wayfinding signage and safe operation of their vehicle.
