COUNCIL INITIATIVE ADDRESSED: Strengthening Community Safety Investing in infrastructure CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A SUMMARY STATEMENT: City staff has been developing plans to provide safety and transportation improvements at several locations throughout the City. In coordination with all City departments, the School District, Peace Health Hospital, the Public Works Subcommittee, and the Historical Preservation Committee. Engineering staff recommends the following improvements to the City of Longview transportation system. Kessler Boulevard East / Douglas Street / 15 th Avenue The first project area is located at Kessler Boulevard East, Douglas Street, and 15th Avenue, just south of the hospital. The objectives of this project are to increase on-street parking and improve safety at the Douglas Street and 15th Avenue intersections. The proposed improvements include converting Kessler Boulevard East from a two-way roadway to a one-way roadway between Douglas Street and 15th Avenue. This modification will allow additional parking by converting one side of the street from parallel parking to angled parking. Additional improvements include sidewalk repairs, new ADA-compliant curb ramps, updated pavement striping, and new traffic signs. Nichols Boulevard / Harding Street / Hemlock Street / Garfield Street The second project area is located on Nichols Boulevard at the intersections of Harding Street, Hemlock Street, and Garfield Street. The primary objective of this project is to improve safety for all users, with a particular emphasis on pedestrian safety. The proposed improvements include consolidating the existing pedestrian crossings on Nichols Boulevard into a single crossing located on the north side of the intersection. Access to Nichols Boulevard will also be modified. Harding Street will remain the primary connection to Nichols Boulevard, while Hemlock Street and Garfield Street will no longer have direct access. Hemlock Street and Garfield Street will instead function as an interconnected neighborhood street network south of the Nichols Boulevard and Harding Street intersection. Nichols Boulevard / Lilac Street / Louisiana Street / Magnolia Street The third project area is located on Nichols Boulevard at the intersections of Lilac Street, Louisiana Street, and Magnolia Street. The objective of this project is to improve safety for all users, with a primary focus on pedestrian safety. Under the proposed design, Magnolia Street will no longer have direct access to the intersection and will instead terminate in a neighborhood turnaround. Lilac Street will be converted to a one-way street from the intersection to 27th Avenue. These improvements will allow for the removal of non-standard pedestrian refuge islands, improve ADA accessibility throughout the intersection, and provide a new pedestrian crossing to the lake on the north side of Nichols Boulevard. Citywide Pedestrian Crossing Improvements The fourth project area is pedestrian safety improvements at the following intersections: Nichols Blvd at Maple Street Kessler Boulevard and Hemlock Street 7th Avenue and Broadway Street 7th Avenue and Florida Street At each location, pedestrian crossings of the major roadways (Kessler Boulevard and 7th Avenue) will be upgraded with Rapid Rectangular Flashing Beacons (RRFBs), ADA-compliant curb ramps, updated pavement markings, and new traffic signs. These improvements are intended to enhance pedestrian visibility and provide safer crossing opportunities for all users. FINANCIAL SUMMARY: Project area one will be done with City staff in coordination with the Public Works Street’s annual sidewalk replacement program and Traffic’s annual striping program. Project areas two through four are funded 100% by a Federal Grant. STAFF CONTACT: Chris Collins, Public Works Director/ Asst. City Manager | attachments=4

COUNCIL INITIATIVE ADDRESSED: Investing in infrastructure CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED SUMMARY STATEMENT: Each year, as required by state law, the City updates and adopts a Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a priority listing of federally funded or proposed transportation-related projects within the City. The TIP identifies the year and the funding sources for the various projects, as well as other basic information on the projects. In order to receive federal or state transportation funding, a project must appear on the City’s adopted TIP. However, the TIP may be amended by the City Council at any time to add or delete projects or change funding sources and amount, following a public hearing on the proposed amendment. Additionally, federal law requires transit agencies receiving Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding to prepare a Program of Projects (POP) identifying the projects to be funded with FTA funding, and to conduct a public hearing and outreach process prior to adopting the POP. The TIP includes FTA funded projects and meets the requirements of the POP. Resolution No. 2625 will adopt the 2027 – 2032 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Plan and the RiverCities Transit Program of Projects.

The UPS protects critical City technology infrastructure, including server, storage, network, backup, security, and related systems used to support daily City operations. The existing UPS includes management hardware reflecting a manufacture date of November 8, 2008. The related APC / Schneider Electric Symmetra PX product family and components have reached discontinued or end-of-service status.

The UPS equipment will be purchased from CDW-G under Sourcewell Contract SW24-121923-G / 121923-CDWG Tech Catalog Gov Only. Installation and removal/disposal services will be provided under the JH Kelly proposal. The project is funded through the Office Equipment Reserve (OER) and is within the adopted budget. The project estimate uses 8.2% sales tax for items where tax was not already included in the quoted amount. The requested authorization remains a not-to-exceed amount of $150,000, which includes project contingency.
