6.1.G. - Page 25 <br />EXHIBIT 'X <br />I. Additional Studv and Workshops for Neiqhborhood Traffic Issues and Mobilitv 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 />10:0111 1111A 1.911 <br />ATTY/AGR.Amend No.1/ELS Architecture and Urban Design <br />
