· Refined design according to survey input Outreach for the design included the following: · Community meetings (6/27/17 and 9/6/17). Meetings were advertised by flyers mailed to addresses along the corridor (about 600 flyers), emails sent to the residents on the contact list of about 70 residents (addresses were gathered at community meetings and/or through communication with City staff) and posts on the Mt. Carmel and Stafford Park neighborhoods on NextDoor. · Internal coordination with the Fire Department · Posting of the conceptual design at Stafford Park and at the “Dingy Circle” (Broadway/Duane/Hopkins intersection) · Community survey (12/4/17 to 12/18/17) o Surveys were mailed to properties that share a frontage with Hopkins Avenue (171 properties) o Online survey was open to all and was emailed to meeting participants, neighborhood associations, and posted on NextDoor o Over 50% of the survey respondents (223) supported approval of the design. Of the 53 responding properties with frontage on Hopkins Avenue, 62% supported the design. Of those (170) who don’t have frontage on the corridor, 63% supported the design. · Public hearing at Complete Streets Advisory Committee (CSAC) (2/20/18) Several residents attended the CSAC meeting to give additional feedback on the design. Much of the conversation concerned the location of specific median islands (relative to driveways and intersections) and the potential cost of this alternative. Other comments included: · Support for the exclusion of new stop signs along the corridor · Support for median islands as the preferred traffic calming measure (instead of buffered bike lanes) · Concerns over noise from vehicles traveling over raised crosswalks · Concerns about safety near the Dingy Circle area (Broadway/Duane/Hopkins intersection) · Requests for additional enforcement of traffic violations After considering the feedback of the residents present, as well as feedback received prior to the meeting, the CSAC recommended forwarding the Hopkins Avenue Traffic Safety Project to the City Council for their consideration. The committee supported the design as proposed, with the exception of the permanent medians, which they felt should be piloted first. A pilot would allow the placement of medians to be tested, to 8.A. - Page 2
