GPI) Is Excited About the Opportunity to Continue Working with the City of Northampton to Provide Complete Streets Design Services for Main Street (Route 9) PROPOSAL Main Street (Route 9) Complete Streets Design Services Submitted to: The City of Northampton Submitted by the Team of: Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. & Brown, Richardson & Rowe August 14, 2018 Engineering | Design | Planning | Construction Management August 14, 2018 Mr. Wayne Feiden, FAICP Director of Planning & Sustainability City of Northampton 210 Main Street Northampton, MA 01060 RE: Proposal – Main Street (Route 9) Complete Streets Design Services Dear Mr. Feiden: Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) is excited about the opportunity to continue working with the City of Northampton to provide Complete Streets Design Services for Main Street (Route 9). This opportunity resonates with us as this is a unique opportunity to work with the City of Northampton to help transform Main Street into an attractive multimodal street that expresses Northampton’s environmental values and supports social gathering and the downtown community. We offer the city a robust team of leaders in street design and engineering tailored to the specific needs of Northampton. Key reasons we feel we are uniquely qualified to champion this project for the city include the following: ▪ Firm Experience: GPI has taken numerous projects through the MassDOT project development and design process - we know what will be required every step of the way and can assist Northampton to navigate this process while developing a design for Main Street that will be funded, constructed and serve as a lasting source of pride for the community. Simply put, GPI knows what it takes to bring a project like this to completion. We are also aware that what Northampton wishes to achieve is not a typical MassDOT project. We will represent your vision and rely on our depth of experience with similar projects to bring to fruition a plan that will achieve your vision for Main Street. ▪ Project Manager: Mr. John Osorio will serve as the Project Manager. Mr. Osorio has 23 years of diverse experience in transportation engineering consisting of highway design, traffic signal design and construction inspection. Mr. Osorio has led both the Damon Road and Route 9 projects for GPI and has established working relationships with Northampton and MassDOT’s District 2. As Project Manager, he will provide leadership to the team and be responsible for overall project administration, technical assistance and serve as the primary point of contact for the project. Mr. Osorio will provide top-level guidance and oversight of the project team's activities to see that the project's progress, budget, and quality objectives are met in a satisfactory manner. ▪ Key Team Expertise: GPI staff supporting Mr. Osorio include Mr. John Diaz, PE, PTOE, who led the Transit Signal Priority (TSP) project and is a leading expert in Massachusetts on adaptive signal technologies, which may be a good fit for Northampton’s Main Street. Ms. Carolyn Radisch, AICP developed the Transit Mobility Alternatives Study and will lead the public outreach process on this project. GPI’s team also includes landscape architects Brown, Richardson and Rowe (BRR) for streetscape and urban design services. BRR is a Woman-Owned Business with a national reputation in transportation master planning, traffic calming, pedestrian and bicycle research and facility design, rail-trail planning and design, Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. 181 Ballardvale Street, Suite 202 Wilmington, MA 01887 p 978.570.2999 An Equal Opportunity Employer Mr. Wayne Feiden, FAICP August 14, 2018 Page 2 and transit accessibility. GPI and BRR have established working relationships and are currently collaborating on street design and reconstruction projects for the City of Boston’s Public Works Department. ▪ Local Project Experience: We have had the opportunity to get to know Northampton through our work on the Damon Road reconstruction project, the Russell Street (Route 9) project in Hadley, and the Transit Mobility Alternatives Study. We understand what the city wishes to achieve with the Main Street project. We have reviewed the conceptual sketches and have the ability to take a fresh look at the project area. Our prior knowledge of the city will help us work efficiently to meet the project goals. Perhaps our most important qualification, however, is our proven ability to envision compelling projects and to see them to fruition. With a reputation for getting things done, GPI blends the best of planning and design disciplines backed by a top-rated professional engineering firm. Our staff consists of a dedicated team of planners, engineers, and landscape architects who are committed to the success of this project. We know the project area well and can work effectively with the city and the community to develop a plan of improvements that meet the project objectives. We wish to thank you for considering GPI and look forward to continuing work with City of Northampton to advance the goals and objectives of the city on this project. In selecting our team and preparing this proposal, GPI made a conscious effort to ensure that we can take a fresh look at Main Street and define a work effort that will bring the project to completion. We feel the GPI Team has the local knowledge, technical experience and staff resources required to successfully complete this project.

  • Reynolds Channel at Pt Lookout at 11.4 Ft MLLW / 10.1 Ft NGVD / 6.7 Ft MHHW
    Reynolds Channel at Pt Lookout at 11.4 ft MLLW / 10.1 ft NGVD / 6.7 ft MHHW Coastal communities along Southern Nassau experienced four successive tidal cycle with at least moderate coastal flooding. Widespread record coastal flooding occurring along the Western Great South Bay exceeding the FEMA 100 year base flood elevations. Peak storm tides surpassed all previously documented high water marks, including the October 31, 1991 and December 11, 1992 nor'easters and the recorded peaks from Hurricane Irene in 2011. The storm tide levels along the Southern Nassau County shore resulted from a peak storm surge of about 8 to 9 feet that coincided with normal high tides. This resulted in up to 3 to 5 feet of inundation of communities in and along Southern Nassau County. The majority of locations south of Merrick Road and Atlantic Avenue were completely inundated, with waterfront communities along creeks and streams being inundated up to Sunrise Highway. Areas of major residential damage were experienced across low lying areas such as Inwood, Meadowmere Park, Bay Harbor, Island Park, Baldwin Harbor, Freeport, and Massapequa. The most widespread major damage was experienced along the barrier beach communities, where the surge was amplified by the run-up and setup from 15 to 20 ft breakers along the Atlantic Ocean coast. Numerous homes and Atlantic Ocean facing structures, such as boardwalks and piers, in Long Beach and Lido Beach were completely destroyed. Jones Beach - Extensive damage and flooding occurred throughout the park, both on the Atlantic Ocean and Great South Bay side. Just over 1/2 mile of boardwalk was damaged or destroyed.

  • Part 5 • Resource Protection Mission
    Open Space Plan 2008-2014 Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.1.2 Resource Protection HARBOR OPEN SPACE Section 7 Analysis of Needs Section 7.1.2: Resource Protection HARBOR OPEN SPACE INTRODUCTION: A PLANNING FRAMEWORK This chapter presents a planning framework that has been designed to guide the continuing revitalization of Boston Harbor’s open space and Harborwalk systems. In keeping with the intent of this Open Space Plan, it recommends the enhancement of existing open space facilities while identifying opportunities to be realized by future programs and projects along the shoreline and on the islands. The framework builds on and extends the work of public agencies, including the Boston Redevelopment Authority (BRA), the Boston Conservation Commission (BCC), the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP), the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR), and the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport), as well as non-profit organizations and waterfront property owners, in an effort to promote and provide public access to waterfront open space. The proposed framework reflects the larger vision of the City to share equitably among all the city’s residents the resources of the harbor for recreational as well as economic benefits. Boston Harbor’s clean-up project has fostered a resurgence in water- related activities and a desire for broad public access to the water’s edge. Boston’s municipal harbor planning efforts, the product of a decade-long community-based effort by the city, articulates this vision through four comprehensive planning policies: • Universal access to opportunities on the harbor; • Year-round activation of the waterfront through public, cultural, and water-dependent uses; • Enhancement of maritime activities; and • Growth that is appropriately designed and brings vitality.

Ryan. “Keeping twenty-two branches open is the most prudent option. It preserves as many branches as possible, permits us to fill critical vacancies and allows us to explore partnerships.” These were the three options discussed: Option 1: All twenty-six branches remain open, eight lead libraries (plus Central Library in Copley Square) maintain existing hours of operation, eighteen branches paired and hours reduced.
