EXHIBIT "A" <br /> I. Additional Study and Workshops for Neighborhood Traffic Issues and Mobility Options <br /> A. ELS, through Blue Zones and Toole Design (traffic calming consultants) to run an exploratory effort aimed <br /> at identifying issues and concerns within a certain study area of the proposed Veterans Memorial — Senior <br /> Center and YMCA. The effort will be led by Dan Burden of Blue Zones, a national expert in the area of <br /> consensus building and finding solutions related to complex settings that require a network of bicycles, <br /> pedestrians and cars to coexist within an often narrow right of way. Dan and Blue Zones will be supported <br /> by Toole Design, who will provide an oversight on the engineering and "buildability" of the various solutions <br /> that are discovered in the process that Dan will lead. <br /> Blue Zones, as a subconsultant of ELS, will perform the following: <br /> 1 . Task 1 — Discovery Phase March 1st <br /> Identify Preliminary Community Problems <br /> Kickoff meetings with select city staff, and neighborhood leaders. <br /> Kickoff meeting with neighborhood. Information gathering. A one-day set of Walkshops (also referred to as walking <br /> audits), to include: <br /> a. An early afternoon technical staff/consultant team briefing (box lunch) <br /> b. A technical walking audit with select city staff, and the consultant team. This includes an introduction of <br /> appropriate tools used to naturally calm traffic while keeping it in motion, parking management tools, streetscaping. <br /> The consultant will also use this time to photograph, observe and make notes of motorist, bicyclist, pedestrian, elder <br /> and school related transportation needs. <br /> c. 4:30 Walkshop ONE: A WALKSHOP (walking audit) of 90 minutes will be held with area neighbors and other <br /> stakeholders. This session results will be recorded, allowing people to express those problems (perceived and real) <br /> that they wish to see addressed in this study. <br /> d. 6:30 Walkshop TWO: A second WALKSHOP (walking audit) of 90 minutes. This well marketed event helps <br /> neighbors focus on their concerns and needs related to transportation, traffic and parking. The Blue Zones will use <br /> this time to actively listen to residents and others and build their trust and support on a range of topics. This session <br /> further builds understanding and begins the "informed" element of the process. <br /> Deliverables: Photos, notes and a technical memorandum to memorialize the work, observations and results <br /> 2. Task 2 — Design Phase March 22nd <br /> Develop Initial Recommendations <br /> Includes a workshop and participant engagement. This session includes a short presentation on discovery findings, <br /> as well as an Initial round of thinking about potential solutions that this neighborhood is likely to agree upon. This <br /> session provides public comment and feedback. The consultant team will do a short presentation on those problems <br /> that have emerged and check in with this expanded audience to see if there are additional issues. Addressing the <br /> type of treatments that respond to actual problems follows this. In some cases, we also address perceived problems <br /> that are raised by providing data. This activity includes breaking the room into small working groups, having <br /> participants roll up their sleeves and pick workable solutions that align with their vision for the neighborhood. <br /> Participants work around maps of the greater neighborhood. A report out by each table is recorded and helps build <br /> and inform the design. Participants are reminded to bring additional friends and neighbors to the next meeting. <br /> Page 3 of 6 <br /> REV: 05-07-18 JS <br /> ATTY/AGR.Amend No.1/ELS Architecture and Urban Design <br />
