Project Understanding

The City of Northampton plans to enhance the Main Street corridor in order to improve safety and accessibility to all users while providing places to congregate and feel right at home. This project provides an opportunity for the City to enhance safety and accessibility for pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit users with an urban centric design concept that has been planned and tested by the community.

The City has commissioned several studies and has hosted countless listening sessions over the past two decades, which have yielded a wealth of information to build upon. As mentioned in the RFP, this is a once in a generation project, which will require the engagement of the community in selecting the preferred design solution, as they will be most benefited by the improvements. Our multidisciplinary team understands the importance of effectively communicating to the community the summary of benefits and limitations that the different complete streets alternatives bring to the downtown corridor.

The Main Street Complete Streets Project will focus on all modes of travel, supporting the City of Northampton’s 2015 Complete Streets Policy with projects being designed, operated, and maintained to provide safety and accessibility for all users including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists and transit riders of all ages and abilities. In addition, the project will include design features that incorporate low impact design and streetscape elements that makes the area safer and more attractive to users. Our team will work with the stakeholders to develop a design that meets the policy as outlined in Article III of the Code of Ordinances.

City of Northampton Complete Streets Policy The intent of this improvement project is to develop a “The city’s Complete Streets policy ensures complete street design along Main Street from its western that pedestrian, bicycle and transit facilities limits with West Street to its eastern limits with Hawley Street. are fully integrated into a safe and efficient transportation system.” The design focus will be to seamlessly design two MassDOT projects (Project 607893 and Project 608729), that include all of Main Street, through the MassDOT process.

The following section will summarize several key components associated with the future improvements of Main Street. Our team understands that there are many moving pieces that are interconnected and that there is a need for functional harmony. Our team will work with stakeholders to provide an urban design that will bring predictability and simplicity.

Issues and Opportunities Main Street Corridor

The project corridor runs through the heart of the Northampton Downtown and creates the opportunity for pedestrian and bicycle traffic to be traveling within a welcoming spatial environment.

The existing corridor has sidewalks on both sides of the roadway, however no designated bicycle lanes are provided, with the exception of the outer project limit intersection with Elm Street.

As discussed within the RFP, bicycle connectivity should be accommodated along this corridor, using a potential separated cycle track or buffered bike lanes. Considerations associated with the dedicated cycle track will include the management of the drainage patterns due to curb line changes and the incorporation of low impact development as well as separation of bicycle traffic from parked vehicles to avoid potential conflicts.

On-street parking is generally provided on both sides of the roadway along the corridor. West of Crafts Avenue and east of Pleasant Street, parallel on-street parking spaces are provided on each side of the street. Between Crafts Avenue and Pleasant Street, head-in angled on-street parking spaces are provided on both sides of the street. Many of the existing parking spaces are too close to pedestrian crossings, resulting in sightline limitations.

Many of the building entrances are not in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Massachusetts Architectural Access Board (AAB) standards. Future improvements will include accessibility modifications along the sidewalk areas in order to provide proper passage as required by the ADA and AAB.

The center section of Main Street is utilized for temporary snow storage after major snow events. During snow events the City will consolidate snow removal with a front-end loader and then truck it away to another location. Improvements that include the addition of a raised median into the roadway will require modifications to the snow removal procedures. Our team will work with the City to develop snow removal strategies that complement available machinery.

The following figure summarizes several issues and opportunities that can be addressed by our project.

Bicycle Accommodations

We understand that this corridor is envisioned not only as a travel path, but a destination in itself.

In order for most people to try bicycling, the stress of undesirable riding conditions along their route must be removed. McMahon proposes to use Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (BLTS) to evaluate existing bicycle facilities within the project extents. The methodology looks at facility type, speed limits, parking conditions, and roadway design to determine the stress level experienced by the cyclists on the roadway. McMahon has used the methodology on a number of projects, including McGrath Boulevard in Somerville, MA and Route 107 in Lynn and Salem, MA, to design bicycle facilities desirable to all ages and abilities of cyclists.

The methods used for the BLTS are adapted from the 2012 Mineta Transportation Institute (MTI) Report 11-19: Low-Stress Bicycling and Network Connectivity. For bicyclists, a “low stress” network (meaning facilities comfortable for most people) is likely to attract a larger portion of the population because it accommodates people who are uncomfortable or do not wish to ride in mixed traffic. A low traffic, low-speed roadway and a separated multi-use trail are two examples of low stress links. BLTS analysis is a points-based evaluation model that classifies each roadway segment, with or without a delineated bikeway, into a level of traffic stress. The premise for this analysis is that stress increases as factors such as traffic speed or traffic volume increase. Level of Traffic Stress modeling results in four possible street type outcomes based on roadway and intersection characteristics:

• LTS 1 – Most children are comfortable (e.g.: local, low-speed street or multi-use trail) • LTS 2 – Most adults are comfortable (e.g.: bike lanes on moderate volume/speed streets) • LTS 3 – Confident cyclists are comfortable (e.g.: shared lanes on moderate volume/speed streets • or bike lanes on arterial roads) • LTS 4 – Only the strongest and most experienced cyclists are capable (e.g.: shared lanes on high volume and/or high-speed streets)

The 2016 Northampton Walk/Bike Technical memorandum that encompassed the city, includes Main Street within the project limits as a “hot spot” for pedestrian and bicyclist crashes. Unfortunately, this section of the city experienced two of the three vulnerable road users’ fatalities in the City of Northampton between 2006 and 2016. The safety analysis included in this 2016 memorandum highlights the safety improvement needs of this corridor to make it welcoming and inclusive for all road users.

McMahon is experienced in designing separated bike lanes for projects in the urban areas of Boston, Cambridge, and Somerville, using NACTO Guides, FHWA and MassDOT Separated Bike Lane guides. McMahon will evaluate facility types and placement, keeping in mind key constraints like available roadway width, driveway crossings, intersection treatments, and network connectivity. Segments can be low stress, but the intersections are where people will experience conflicts and need to make connections to the roadway network. McMahon has experience in making roadways and intersections safer for cyclists and pedestrians and our staff have designed protected intersections for Inman Square in Cambridge, MA, and on McGrath Boulevard in Somerville, MA.

The protected intersections separate bicycles and pedestrians from turning traffic with corner islands that improve the visibility between turning vehicles and crossing pedestrians and bicycles and reduce the crossing

Page 4

distance. At these intersections and others McMahon has incorporated bicycle signals to ensure safe crossings for cyclists. McMahon has completed accessibility evaluations before, including over 3.5 miles along Route 107 in Salem and Lynn, MA, and more than 1,200 bus stops throughout the Greater Boston area.

McMahon’s goal for this project is to provide a holistic design that considers the motor vehicle needs while providing comfortable, adequate and safer space for transit users, pedestrians and bicyclists. While not everyone rides a bicycle, every person is a pedestrian at some point of their path when moving from point A to point B, whether to reach their car, bicycle or bus.

Green Infrastructure Opportunities

The McMahon team is committed to providing a cost effective, resilient approach to dealing with stormwater runoff. Stormwater runoff can be a major water pollution contributor that eventually is discharged to our waterbodies. Our team will work in defining more natural rainfall collection opportunities that will work with the urban streetscape. Our team will identity solutions that will fit within the existing project footprint to create a healthier urban environment.

Our team will provide suggestions that may include planter boxes, bioswales, permeable pavement, bioretention areas, and combinations thereof. Once a preferred alternative is chosen, our drainage engineers will model the stormwater treatment at various scales to understand water quantity and quality outcomes. McMahon has recently used green infrastructure to provide stormwater treatment and conveyance on an intersection project in Westminster, MA along with providing a constructability review of green infrastructure on the Marstons Mills project in Barnstable, MA.

McMahon reviewed the soil maps in the project area and noted that the soils were mapped as Amostown- Windsor silty substratum-Urban Land complex. The soil maps did not assign a hydrologic soil group to this soil; however, the soil description indicates that the infiltration rates may be low. We propose to obtain soil test pits with the assistance of the Northampton Department of Public Works to evaluate the soil and adjust the stormwater treatment approach based on the outcome. It is the goal of the team to focus on low impact development techniques and green infrastructure to meet the stormwater treatment requirements of the Massachusetts Stormwater Handbook.

Street Trees

Our team’s vast experience with urban landscape design, under the direction Dodson and Flinker, will work with the City in identifying tree planting opportunities and tree removal recommendations, as necessary. Recommendations will be based on the identifying spatial limitations, site assessment, green infrastructure opportunities, and project streetscape goals.

Intersections of Main Street/West Street/New South Street/State Street

The intersections of Main Street/Elm Street at West Street and Main Street at State Street/New South Street are two intersections that are controlled by dual traffic signal controllers. The two traffic signal controllers operate in synchronization to provide a protected left turn phase from Main Street to State Street, a protected

Page 5

movement from New South Street, a protected movement from State Street, a through movement in each direction along Main Street, and exclusive pedestrian phases.

The complex intersection configuration is subject to excessive vehicle and pedestrian delays. Based on a preliminary review of the intersection’s crash history from 2011-2015, a total of 60 crashes occurred during this 5-year period. The highest frequency of crash types was a rear-end, which is quite common at signalized intersections. In addition, it should be noted that the intersection falls under a Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP). For the 2015 HSIP cluster, the intersection is eligible for funding opportunities that target bicycle and pedestrian safety enhancements.

Intersection improvements opportunities should also address existing heavy vehicle turning needs, as there is evidence of vehicles making wide sweeps onto the sidewalk when northbound right turn movements are made from New South Street to Main Street. In addition, it is important to note that the existing bus stop queue along Main Street tends to spill back toward New South Street. Further discussions about this bus stop are provided under the Transit Accommodations section.

McMahon has conducted dozens of Road Safety Audits (RSA) across the state as part of a Master Service Agreement with MassDOT. An RSA would be required as part of the MassDOT process and our experienced team would preside over a formal safety examination of existing and future roadway and/or intersection conditions in order to pinpoint strategic improvement opportunities.

Intersection of Main Street/Pleasant Street/ King Street

The signalized intersection of Main Street and King Street/Pleasant Street is a four-legged configuration. The traffic signal phasing includes protected left turn movements on each of the four approaches as well as exclusive pedestrian movements. All four approaches prohibit right turns on red.

The intersection is subject to excessive vehicle delays due to its proximity to regional arterials and commercial developments on King Street, in addition to the Main Street downtown corridor.

Based on a preliminary review of the intersection’s crash history from 2011-2015, a total of 72 crashes occurred during this 5-year period. The crash types were relatively balanced among angles, rear-ends, and sideswipes. Some of the sideswipes are due to on-street parking maneuvers that parallel the approaches. The parking maneuvers could be too close to the intersection and/or the lengthy vehicle queues in traffic could be spilling over to parking lanes that do not expect vehicle queuing. It is important to note that the intersection experienced a bicycle related fatality in May of 2012. For the 2015 HSIP cluster, the intersection is eligible for funding opportunities that target vehicles, bicycle and pedestrian safety enhancements.

Intersection improvements opportunities should address pedestrian and bicycle needs without too much negative impact to vehicular movements. A safety audit of the existing vehicle clearance timings and pedestrian “Walk/Do Not Walk” timings should be incorporated into the design improvements to further minimize vehicle and pedestrian conflicts.

Similar to the other intersection and roadways within the project, our team will be able to preside over an RSA to identify potential safety issues and possible opportunities for safety improvements.

Intersection of Main Street/Bridge Street/Hawley Street/Market Street

The signalized intersection of Main Street/Bridge Street and Market Street/Hawley Street is a four-legged approach. The traffic signalization operates in a permissive mode for the east-west movements and the north- south movements. The Bridge Street westbound movement towards the downtown has a no right turn on red sign posted. One hundred feet to the west of the intersection, overhead height clearances are substandard, resulting height restrictions. In addition, vehicles heading along Main Street in the eastbound direction tend to experience sight line restrictions due to the roadway’s vertical geometry and the overpasses.

Based on a preliminary review of the intersection’s crash history from 2011-2015, a total of 34 crashes occurred during this 5-year period. The crash types were relatively balanced among angles and rear-ends. For the 2015 HSIP cluster, the intersection is eligible for funding opportunities that target bicycle and pedestrian safety enhancements.

Transit Accommodations Transit in the study area corridor is provided primarily by the Pioneer Valley Regional Transit Authority (PVTA), with additional service by the Franklin Regional Transit Authority. Multiple bus routes stop on Main Street and provide connections to the surrounding region including PVTA Routes 39, B43, B48, NE, R41, R42, R44, and X98 and FRTA Route 31. Routes 39 and B43 run the entire length of the study area corridor, and most of the other bus routes loop downtown via Main Street, Pleasant Street, South Street and New South Street. Routes 39 and B43 are impacted by local college and university schedules; Route 39 only runs when school is in session, while Route 43 operates on a reduced schedule when school is not in session. While Peter Pan Bus Company and Greyhound Lines also operate in the corridor, they service the Roundhouse Bus Terminal located about 400’ from Main Street on Crafts Avenue.

PVTA System Map showing downtown Northampton

There are four existing bus stops within the study area:

1. Stop ID 261 –Academy of Music (E) – is a major terminal for PVTA and the transit hub of downtown Northampton, facilitating PVTA local routes 39, B43, B48, NE, R41, R42, R44, and X98 and FRTA’s Route 31 Northampton/Greenfield. It’s an important transfer point for local and regional connections and service operates on a loose pulse system, where buses are timed to arrive within minutes of each other, and usually depart simultaneously, to allow passengers time to switch between buses. Over 5,000 riders board or alight at this stop in a given work week (an average of 1,000 riders per day), and over 500 riders per work week (an average of 100 riders per hour per day) board or alight just during the busiest hours. 2. Stop ID 260 – Masonic St/Academy of Music (W) is served by Routes 39, B43, R42, R44, and X98. This stop has about 800 riders per work week (about 160 daily). 3. Stop ID 256 – Thornes Market is served by Route R44 only. This is a flag stop that is only served upon request. Over one work week only 8 riders utilized the stop. 4. Stop ID 254 – Northampton Court House is served by Routes 39, B43, and R44. This is the second busiest stop in the corridor, with almost 1,500 riders per work week (about 300 daily).

(Source: Bus stop ridership data, provided by PVTA, is from September 11-15, 2017)

Page 8

The 2016 preferred concept retained all four existing stops. However, the eastbound stops (Academy of Music and Thornes Market) are located very close together, and the eastern most pair of stops (Thornes Market and Northampton Courthouse) are located rather far apart. It’s easier for passengers to utilize the service if stop pairs are located relatively close to each other. It’s a considerable distance to the next pair of stops, east of Bridge Street, so consideration may be given to creation of a new stop near Main Street at Pleasant Street. We will consult with the city and the respective transit agencies to confirm that transit was appropriately considered in the development of the concept design and that the number and location of stops are generally acceptable. They may be shifted to better connect to transit generators and or a better sidewalk network. Sometimes, even when it is a Complete Streets project, transit is the last to be considered and shoehorned in. McMahon prides itself on having “transit-savvy traffic engineers” so all modes are truly thought about when approaching our projects.

We will understand and document all existing transit services in the corridor, including identifying existing turn- by-turn routing of buses and where they travel to/from along the downtown street network so that bus turn movements can be accommodated within the proposed redesign. In the Main Street Northampton Complete Street Redesign Draft 7.29.2016, the Masonic Street stop is proposed to be moved mid-block. If buses serving that stop need to make a left turn onto New South Street, the proposed bus stop location is unlikely to be viable. The set up would require bus operators to cross the bike lane and through travel lane, and they are unlikely to be able to line up in the left turn lane due to the bus stop’s proximity to the intersection.

The interaction of bicyclists and proposed bicycle infrastructure, with bus operations, bus stops and other bus infrastructure will be an important consideration. Creating a safe environment for all users will be key. McMahon is well versed in bus stop design, as well as complete street designs that accommodate bicyclists, transit users, and pedestrians in all sorts of environments. Some design considerations may include creating floating bus stops to create separated bike lanes, or maintaining curbside access for buses, while bicyclists will travel to the left when overtaking buses stopped at a bus stop. Improving the bicycling environment will also facilitate better first/last mile connections to transit. The Bike Walk Assessment (2015) included observations that the westbound stop at Masonic Street has a high volume of bus activity and that a floating bus stop treatment should be considered along with separated bike lanes in the corridor. However, one was not proposed in the 2016 concept and so we will seek to understand the design considerations and evolution of the concept, in coordination with the city. We note that the sidewalk improvements and addition of a bus shelter, proposed in the Bike Walk Assessment for the Academy of Music (E) stop, has already been implemented.

A recent floating bus island constructed as part of the Commonwealth Avenue Bridge Replacement Project in the City of Boston. McMahon initiated the notion of a floating bus land and ultimately designed this accommodation located on the nearside of the intersection of Commonwealth Avenue and University Avenue.

Given the volume of bus service on Main Street, additional dedicated space for buses may be warranted for both passengers and improved operations. In terms of servicing passengers curbside - additional sidewalk space, beyond what was provided in the Pulaski Park redesign may be warranted for the Academy of Music (E) stop. Operationally, dedicated bus lanes, queue jump lanes, etc. may be suitable to improve travel times and reliability. Although a transit mall would be of great transit benefit, it would require removal of other vehicular traffic, which could be challenging for the Main Street demands. We will consider bus priority measures that are appropriate to the volume of buses and passengers, both on board the bus traveling through the corridor as well as at the stops. By comparing people movements among modes, particularly transit vehicles to driver occupancy only vehicles, we can identify person (not just vehicle) throughput and delay through the corridor, if the supporting data is available. Transit Signal Priority (TSP) is currently being explored on another section of Route 9 in Hadley, as part of the MassDOT Transit Mobility Study, and could also be considered as part of this project. Even optimizing signal phasing and timing for general traffic should help to move the buses faster. Colored pavement, pavement markings and signage that regulate parking at, and enhance visibility of, bus stops will also be considered in the design.

Page 10

By improving the pedestrian environment, we will also be enhancing the transit environment, because most riders are pedestrians – walking between the bus stop and their origin/destination. Ensuring that bus stops are connected to crosswalks will harbor safe crossings for transit riders and providing ADA curb ramps will ensure crossings are accessible. While curb extensions at crosswalks can provide for reduced crossing distances, if adjacent to bus stops, they can make access to/from bus stops more difficult for bus operators if sufficient space is not provided. We will work with the City, PVTA, and FRTA to ensure that the appropriate bus stops lengths are provided for existing and future vehicles.

Curb extensions that incorporate a widened sidewalk at bus stops (sometimes referred to as “bus bulbs or nubs”) can offer lots of advantages, such as expanded passenger waiting area, increased opportunities for amenities such as shelters, benches, trash receptacles, bike racks, wayfinding/transit screens and or fare vending machines to be added, and enables the bus to stop in the travel lane, which minimizes delay to transit. For any bus stop curb extension, as well as traditional curbside bus stops, we would come up with a design that is accommodating to the different transit service operating in the corridor, so that bus doors open to the curb, driveway/street overhang by vehicles is minimized and the design meets the ADA guidelines and transit agency requirements for accessible transit infrastructure. Prior studies have indicated a desire for accommodations for up to five vehicles; PVTA doesn’t currently have enough space for three buses, particularly if one bus is articulated. Not only do buses pick up and drop off passengers at this stop, it also functions as a layover area and therefore extended dwell time needs to be accommodated, while other buses continue to pull in and out.

This Google Maps Streetview image (August 2013) shows buses mounting the curb, possibly due to the tight turn radius on the approach from New South Street, as well as capacity issues – three buses barely fit alongside the curb.

Page 11

Proposing stable, solid surfaces, while incorporating sidewalk and streetscape enhancements, will facilitate accessible paths between bus stops and transit trip generators and crossings. Landscaping, street trees and lighting, will provide a more comfortable, shady, safer and pleasant walking and waiting environment for transit riders. The team will work closely so proposed streetscape elements don’t hamper bus operations, by blocking or obstructing access to bus doors, obscuring driver and waiting passenger visibility of each other, and ensuring that pedestrian flow is maintained through the stop, and amenities are placed appropriately to best serve riders. Materials such as flexi-pave may be used at existing and proposed street trees to minimize sidewalk upheaval and creation of accessibility barriers to bus stops in the future.

While two of the stops have shelters, and one stop has a bench, we could explore other transit amenities that could also improve the streetscape and explore and market Northampton more easily. Transit screens can do double duty – providing real-time passenger information, as well as weather, news and wayfinding. Providing trash receptacles, potentially solar trash and or recycling stations, at stops can help keep the stop and the overall street, clean.

Parking

A key challenge of this project is prioritizing goals and potential tradeoffs of various treatments. The 2017 PVPC Route 9 Safety and Livability Study, identified that Main Street on-street parking spaces experienced an average of 2.5 vehicles per parking spaces during the evening peak hour. This turnover rate implies that the City’s parking strategies, within the downtown area are yielding acceptable results. High turnover rates are a benefit to residents, visitors, and local business owners.

McMahon has a number of parking experts who bring extensive experience in parking analyses for downtown areas and an understanding of best management practices to enhance parking supply. One of the most important aspects of parking facilities integration into overall Main Street redesign will be existing pedestrian facilities in the area. A well-managed parking system encourages drivers to park once and walk to multiple destinations, encouraging longer-term parking and reducing the number of drivers circulating looking for parking. Opportunities to incorporate streetscape improvements to encourage walking, such as increased lighting and wayfinding signage, will be identified within the study area as well as other improvements discussed in other sections of this document.

Page 12

McMahon summarized impacts to on-street parking in favor of providing separated bicycle lanes for the Inman Square Intersection Safety Improvement Project in Cambridge, MA.

The lack of commercial loading zones has been noted by several business owners. Our team understands that future improvement will need to incorporate accommodation for delivery vehicles. We will work with the City and business owners in identifying strategic loading zones either on Main Street or on the side streets. The McMahon will assimilate our technical knowledge with input from stakeholders. We have proven skills and expertise necessary to evaluate the design needs for the project area while working with the key stakeholder groups integral to this process. We have committed senior staff, highly experienced in project management and stakeholder coordination, with the proven ability to facilitate project owner meetings, citizen and stakeholder meetings, and public agency coordination to ensure project success. Our team members will work closely with the City of Northampton

Street Lighting

The existing pole street light system along the project area appears to have aerial service that connects from light pole to light pole, rather than underground conduit service. The light heads appear to be retrofits that do not match the pole architecture. Our team will work with the City to develop a design that would reuse the existing period light pole structures, while providing underground service. In addition, if warranted by the City, our team would assist in providing suggestions of a more appropriate LED light head that matched the style of the poles.

The and environmental context. firm’s site design and construction projects include schools, green Their detailed knowledge of site- infrastructure, commercial facilities, parks, private residences and multi- scale design and construction family housing. brings a unique perspective to planning at the scale of the town and region. As a combined planning and design practice, Dodson & Flinker has extensive experience working with public sector clients on detailed plans for Complete Streets and downtown master plans. In support of these efforts the firm has designed and facilitated numerous public participation projects -- often involving complex and controversial planning topics -- and has become a trusted advisor to many New England communities. This work includes consulting with towns to assess their zoning bylaws and subdivision regulations to promote more sustainable forms of development. Dodson & Flinker is currently working with the City of Northampton to develop a form-based code guiding future modifications to the public realm and illustrate existing architectural guidelines in the Central Business District.

Listed below are a few relevant projects that have been completed by the firm: ▪ City of Northampton Planning Department – Public Realm Form-Based Code. Currently working to develop a form based code guiding future modifications to the public realm and illustrate existing architectural guidelines in the Central Business District. A key element supporting development of the code and guidelines is careful analysis of Northampton’s existing buildings, sidewalks and public spaces. This includes field measurement and photographs translated into 3D models and digital diagrams. ▪ Town of East Hampton, NY – East Hampton Hamlets Study. Led a multidisciplinary team to develop plans for the commercial centers of East Hampton’s six hamlets. Through multi-day charrettes for each hamlet, the firm developed physical planning strategies for the commercial centers that resolve issues with traffic, parking, and economic viability while preserving and enhancing their distinctive character. The team also worked with residents to think critically about ways that the hamlet commercial centers can become more resilient as climate changes and sea levels rise. Recommendations addressed rapidly rising property values, traffic congestion, walkability, responding to retreating shorelines, adapting to coastal flooding, and how the commercial centers can better serve year-round and seasonal residents. ▪ Smith College – Bechtel Environmental Classroom. The Bechtel Environmental Classroom is an ecological learning center supporting research, classes and outdoor activities on a 240-acre conservation Page 17

property owned by Smith College. The proposed 2,300-square foot classroom building was planned and designed under the rules of the Living Building Challenge, a green building standard more stringent than LEED. Dodson & Flinker collaborated with the architects on the siting of the building, designed the landscape, and handled environmental permitting and mitigation. Unique features of the project include the separation of parking from the building, complete on-site recycling of water through a series of educational rain gardens, composting toilets, zero net energy consumption and use of local building materials. ▪ City of West Springfield – Merrick Neighborhood Complete Streets. The historic Merrick neighborhood of West Springfield was devastated by the rouge tornado that tore across western Massachusetts in June of 2011. The resulting destruction provided an opportunity to address antiquated zoning regulations that had long hampered redevelopment in the neighborhood. Dodson & Flinker led a team of consultants in an extensive public participation process to develop a vision plan for Merrick and draft a new form-based code to guide redevelopment. The form-based code included extensive public realm design with specifications for complete streets. Sidewalks, shade trees in continuous planting strips, bike lanes on critical throughways, bumpouts at crosswalks and building form standards contribute to a comfortable pedestrian experience while managing stormwater and mitigating urban heat effects.

Specific tasks included capacity analysis and signal warrant analysis, and [email protected] developing final design and construction documents for signal, pavement marking and signage plans, as well as specifications and estimates using MassDOT standards.

Design elements included on-street bike lanes with buffer zones, shared lane markings, bike boxes, and raised pedestrian crosswalks and intersection. The signal design plans included all new signal equipment and a bicycle loop detector at the Lakeview Avenue intersection and, at the Reservoir Street intersection, the existing signal equipment was upgraded to include Accessible Pedestrian Signal (APS) capable push buttons.

McMahon advised on bus stop consolidation, bus stop locations and layout, accessibility and bus operations along the corridor, which is served by the MBTA Electric Trolley Bus Route 72. McMahon coordinated with the design engineers as curb lines were modified and with landscape architects as they designed streetscape and landscape elements.

Page 34 Proposed Fee Proposed Fee

Proposed Scope and Fee

Our approach is fairly straight-forward and follows MassDOT’s project review and approval process as described in their Project Development and Design Guide (PDDG), for the tasks described henceforth.

Task 1- Coordination

We at McMahon understand the importance of design coordination with the City and MassDOT in order to provide the best design and allow for good project flow. McMahon will prepare for and attend ten progress meetings with City officials from the Planning & Sustainability and Public Works Departments. McMahon will also prepare for and attend ten meetings with MassDOT at various stages of the design. The meetings under this task do not include meetings specified under other tasks.

Task 2 – Information Collection, Analysis and Survey

During the preliminary design process, our team will review existing data from prior reports and plans associated with the project corridor. The review of these documents will allow the team to better understand the City’s vision for the project area, existing issues, and improvements implemented to date and previously considered alternatives. Our team will use this knowledge to move forward effectively and will apply lessons learned to our design.

1. Review past data and reports as listed within the RFP, which offer relevant background information and recommendations to be used going forward. In addition, the following will be reviewed: a. Historical development of Main Street b. Analysis and assessment of current sidewalk conditions, including cross sections of typical dimensions, building relationships, and streetscape elements. c. Location and condition of street trees and other landscaping. d. Inventory of existing paving patterns, materials and construction details. e. Inventory of benches, light standards and other street furnishings. f. Details of existing tree pits and planting areas; review of design documentation from previous improvements. 2. Initiate a kick off meeting with the City to discuss past data, reports and overall goal. 3. Collect up to eight intersection Turning Movement Counts (TMC) and eight Automatic Traffic Recorder Counts (ATR). TMC and ATR will be accordance with MassDOT 25% guidelines. The TMC will include two hours during both the morning and afternoon peak hours. Each ATR will be collected for a 48-hour weekday period. 4. Collect and analyze crash data for the last 5 years of data available from MassDOT. 5. Perform capacity analysis using Synchro Studio by Trafficware, of the existing conditions and projected future volume conditions. The capacity analysis will be done in accordance with the MassDOT 25% guidelines. 6. Conduct a Topographic survey of the project area. The topographical survey will be performed by Sherman and Frydryk, a pre-qualified MassDOT surveyor. The topographical survey will include the following:

Page 35

a. Approximately 5,400 feet of survey along Main Street. Limits will start 250 feet west of West Street and continue along Elm Street/Main Street for approximately 2,800 feet. Side streets will include approximately 200 feet of survey from their intersections with Main Street. b. Survey will include preparation of vertical and horizontal control based on NAV 83 and NAVD 88 datum. c. Survey will include curblines, building access locations, aboveground utilities structures, roadside features (poles, fencings, trees greater than 6 inches in diameter), traffic signs and signals, driveways, and landscape features. d. Survey will include existing right of way information based on assessor’s plans. e. Survey will include depiction of underground utilities, based on available record plans and field inverts of gravity pipes collected. f. Survey will be prepared in AutoCAD Civil 3D format using MassDOT guidelines. g. Survey costs will include 40 hours of a police detail. 7. Perform traffic signal warrant review at study area intersections and confirm traffic operations in accordance with MassDOT 25% guidelines. 8. Perform Bicycle Level of Traffic Stress (BLTS) described under Project Understanding. 9. Meet with the City to establish design criteria following MassDOT guidelines.

Task 3 – Community Engagement

To aid the City’s efforts to engage the community in the design solution of this once in a generation project, the following is proposed:

• Three focus groups/design workshops with the business community and abutters. • Three focus groups/design workshops with the community. • 8 hours of tactical urbanism. McMahon will assist in engaging the community to bring a concept alive. It is our understanding that the City will provide materials and supplies to accommodate potential curb extensions, bike lanes, etc. In addition, the City will be responsible for the procurement of tables, chairs, signage, planters and material necessary to execute a field workshop. • Six follow-up meetings and information sharing. • Pre-25% plan public forum. • Formal MassDOT 25% public hearing. We have scoped a total of two hearings, assuming that MassDOT will not combine the projects.

We will work with the City to design the appropriate approach to the format and content of these meetings. McMahon will provide a variety of engagement tools for use at the community meetings. The selection of the most appropriate tool will be made in consultation with the City consistent with the needs of the project. Potential formats for designing surface improvements could include: • Interactive visual preference surveys, using photographs and graphics to help participants visualize various techniques and alternatives. These alternative assessments can be explored through the use of sticker exercises. • Scenario planning games – For a recent project on Route 28 in Somerville, MA, McMahon provided “game pieces” for meeting participants to design sample complete streets cross-sections. The meeting

Page 36

allowed participants to understand the tradeoffs of balancing the needs of various modes of transportation.

McMahon provided “game pieces” for Route 28/McGrath meeting participants to design a complete streets cross-section.

For each meeting, McMahon will prepare appropriate presentation materials and visual aids (such as PowerPoint presentations, meeting handouts, and display boards) relevant to the scope and agenda of each meeting.

Task 4 – Concept Plans

The McMahon Team will develop up to three concept plans. Based on input from City staff and all available engineering studies, our team will develop color graphic conceptual design plans at appropriate scale, sufficient for public presentation at the first public meeting. The conceptual design will lay out potential streetscape improvements, including street trees, curbing and sidewalk options, bicycle lanes, and drainage/utility improvements, and the recommendations of recent studies. The conceptual design will be based on the field survey plans.

Task 5 – MassDOT Reports – Two Individual MassDOT Projects #607893 & #608729

Under this task McMahon will provide the following: • Functional Design Report (FDR) that addresses the following: o Existing Conditions and Issues o Capacity Analysis o Clearance Timing Updates o Crash Data Analysis o Improvement Alternative Analysis o Discussion of Design Criteria Selected • A Design Exception Report (DER) is included for lack of WB-67 vehicle accommodation. No other DER are expected. • Road Safety Audit (RSA) per MassDOT guidelines. It is our understanding that the MassDOT/City of Northampton will permit one RSA that covers the entire project. • Pavement Design following MassDOT guidelines to determine the proper pavement treatment and depth of the milling and overlay. We will collect a total of 10 pavement cores. Our estimate includes a police detail to facilitate the pavement core collection.

Page 37

Task 6 – Draft and Final Plans and Right-of-Way Plans – Two Individual MassDOT Projects #607893 & #608729

Prepare design plans through the Pre-25% informal MassDOT submission as well as formal MassDOT 25%, 75%, 100%, and PS&E submissions, which address the aforementioned FDR items.

The improvements depicted on the plans will be based on the FDR findings and subsequent MassDOT and City comments. It is our understanding that the final plan set will include the following: • Cover Sheet • Legend and General Notes • Key Plan • Typical Roadway Sections and Pavement Notes • Construction Details • Curb Tie and Baseline Tie Plan • Grading Plans • Construction Plans • Drainage and Utility Plans • Traffic Signal Plans., Coordination and Details • Landscape and or Streetscape Plans and Details • Signs and Pavement Marking Plans • Sign Summary • Traffic Management Plans • Cross Sections

As stated in the RFP, the roadway improvements (curb to curb) will be limited to mill and overlay and will included a negligible amount of full depth roadway reconstruction. It is our understanding that construction will not require any special foundation designs for poles and structures. Our scope assumes that proposed access will be ADA/AAB compliant and that no accessibility variances will be sought.

It is our understanding that the utility improvements will be limited to storm water modifications to account for new curb lines and green infrastructure. Our scope also assumes that the existing drainage system has proper capacity and that the existing drainage trunk line will be adequate for continued use under the proposed design.

The related Specifications and Estimates will accompany the plan set submissions, following MassDOT guidelines as well as responses to MassDOT and City comments for each design stage. Under this task, Right-of-Way (ROW) plans are assumed to be prepared only at the Main/Elm/West/State/New South Street compound intersection.

Task 6b –Full project Right-of-Way Plans – Two Individual MassDOT Projects #607893 & #608729

Based on our previous experience, we believe that MassDOT will require ROW plans throughout the entire project limits for temporary construction easements, regardless of permanent takings. This task would cover the additional scope to include all of the project limits. This task does not include the instruments of taking task.

Page 38

Task 7 – Bidding and Construction Administration – Two Individual MassDOT Projects #607893 & #608729

McMahon will attend the pre-construction conference for each of the projects. We will respond to requests for information by the contractors. We have budgeted a total of 20 hours for MassDOT and City coordination during construction.

Task 8 –Construction Observation – Two Individual MassDOT Projects #607893 & #608729

Per the request of the City, McMahon has not included any construction observation services under this proposal. We would be available to provide the City with a proposal once requested.

Page 39 Fee

McMahon will perform the survey, design, and permitting work outlined above on a time and expense basis not to exceed the proposed upper limit fee of $648,560. A breakdown of the fees per task is identified below:

Task 1 – Coordination $24,700 Task 2 – Information Collection, Analysis and Survey $58,960 Task 3 – Community Engagement $43,125 Task 4- Concept Plans $40,180 Tasks 1thru 4 Subtotal: $166,965 Project #607893 Task 5 – MassDOT Reports $29,195 Task 6– Draft and Final Plans and ROW Plans $177,315 Task 6b–Full Project ROW Plans $6,180 Task 7 – Bidding and Construction Administration $8,320 Project# 607893 Subtotal: $221,010 Project #608729 Task 5 – MassDOT Reports $26,930 Task 6– Draft and Final Plans and ROW Plans $212,425 Task 6b–Full Project ROW Plans $12,780 Task 7 – Bidding and Construction Administration $8,450 Project# 608729 Subtotal: $260,585 Total: $648,560

In the event if MassDOT allows Projects #607893 and #608729 to be combined before Task 5, we would provide the City with a credit of $7,900.

Out-of-pocket expenses such as mileage, plan and document reproduction, major design revisions, and additional services are not included in this proposal, and will be provided, only as necessary and as authorized, on a time-and-materials basis in accordance with the attached Standard Provisions for Professional Services.
