DISCUSSION Approval of this recommended action will enable the preparation of plans and specifications (Contract Documents) for the South Main Street Corridor Improvements project as identified in the FY 2017/2018 Capital Improvement Program. These contract documents will be used to competitively bid and construct the project. In October 2012, a master planning and visioning project was undertaken by the City to revitalize the urban structure of South Main Street in an effort to spawn redevelopment and foster local businesses. The project, known as the "South Main Street Vision Plan," involved a study area encompassing an approximate 2 -mile length running north -south, from First Street (north end) to Warner Avenue (south end) as shown on the attached map (Exhibit 1). The South Main Street Vision Plan Final Report was presented to and received by the City in June 2016. The proposed improvements as laid out in the master plan concentrated on two key areas: a three block segment at the north end ("North Focus Area"), and a four block segment at the south end ("South Focus Area'). Additional funding was identified to continue these efforts beyond and between the two focus areas. Proposed improvements in the master plan will provide for greater walkability and a more pedestrian -oriented street through implementation of enhanced crosswalks, pedestrian level street lighting, street trees which provide shade, landscaping, parklets, site furniture, traffic calming, and metered street parking. 23A-1
