pfaffmann_studio-for-spatial-practice_proposal-final by Oakland Planning and Development Corporation

June 24, 2011 Ms. Wanda Wilson Executive Director Oakland Planning & Development Corp. 235 Atwood Street Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Subject: Oakland 2025 Community Plan

Dear Wanda, Thank you for considering our qualifications and proposal to assist the Oakland community in developing a vision for the neighborhood. It’s exciting to start a project that already has a great foundation. The involvement of the community and its professional capacity will allow our services to be focused on deeper problem solving and implementation strategies. We have organized an experienced team anchored by a group of planners known for its work on the community plans of Central Northside, Lawrenceville, The Hill, Homewood, and most recently, Polish Hill. OUR TEAM Core Planning Team Our locally based team of Pfaffmann + Associates (Carl Bergamini, Jeff Slack and myself) and Studio for Spatial Practice (Christine Brill and Jon Kline) is supplemented by two firms quite familiar with Pittsburgh: Todd Poole of 4ward Planning for economic planning and Mike Morehouse of Fitzgerald & Halliday for transportation planning. Both Todd and Mike are currently involved in Pittsburgh projects and are also able to bring nationally recognized benchmark work to Pittsburgh. Our team roles are illustrated on the accompanying chart. Project Leadership Christine Brill and I will provide the strategic direction as principals in charge. Christine and I have worked together for many years and bring complementary approaches to our work. Christine will lead the community outreach components of the charrette and work closely with OPDC to integrate her creative “outside the box” approaches to the charrette. A Flexible, Deep Team All five planners (Christine, Carl, Jeff, Jon and me) will be hands-on charrette team leaders. We can shift from our team leadership to support as needed for each of the focus areas, whether they are thematic or geographic. This will allow for a compact highly efficient team with experienced planners and practioners leading each area of exploration. Project management Carl Bergamini, RA, AICP will be our project manager and provide the day-to-day organizational management of the team. He is well known in each community he has worked for his quiet commitment and thorough approach to planning project management.

Graphics & Illustrations Jon and Carl will play an important role in developing the graphic approaches. Christine and Jon may use interactive models and hands-on exercises that engage stakeholders in memorable ways. We have created a team of planners that is multitalented and experienced with thinking, drawing and managing on the fly. Implementation Working regularly with developers and capital projects for non-profits, I will lead the implementation planning efforts, provide strategic direction for the team on the work product and coordinate with the economic team. I will also lead the implementation components of the plan. Transportation Planning To lead the transportation planning element of the project, Michael Morehouse, P.E. of the firm Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. (FHI), has been included on our team. Mike has over 18 years of experience in multi-modal transportation planning and engineering. Mike is an active member of the National Complete Streets Coalition. A valuable asset to the project in Oakland, Mike has a track record of successful public workshop experience. He is currently working in Pittsburgh on both the East Liberty TRID Study and the MOVEPGH project. For MOVEPGH, he is responsible for the transportation needs assessment city-wide and will have access to data that may be useful for a rapid understanding of conditions in Oakland. He will also be involved with numerous public workshops for both projects. Involvement with these parallel assignments is highly beneficial to the Oakland project because the team will be able to take advantage of the most current information available and leverage the resources of these concurrent-planning initiatives. Economic Planning 4ward Planning will participate in one charrette planning meeting, a two-day portion of the charrette and a follow-up public forum. They will provide “real time” analysis of ideas, in terms of market and economic conditions, during the community charrette and consult with break out teams as needed. More detail about the economic analysis tasks and deliverables can be found at the end of this proposal. Based on the alternative and preferred plan concepts developed for Oakland, 4ward Planning will create an Excel based land-use build-out model (based on models it currently uses for such exercises), which accounts for all existing and prospective land-uses (based on permitted massing, bulk and parking requirements), public facilities, and general infrastructure. Once developed, the build-out model will be able to identify land-uses by building units (e.g., apartments, condos, townhouses) and square footages (retail and office/flex). Todd Poole will meet with local business owners, developers and landowners as part of our roundtable discussions on the Oakland real estate and business marketplace. Todd’s special expertise in the economic development impact of amenities such as parks and open space will tie well with existing and proposed efforts for Oakland. His analysis of the New York City Highline Park’s economic impact provides new ways to advocate for quality of life improvements to our neighborhoods. Landscape & Open Space Planning Christine Brill will lead landscape, green infrastructure and open space discussions and also focus on the strategies for youth and families in Oakland. Working with OPDC’s partners such as Tree Pittsburgh, Gtech and Western PA Conservancy, Christine will integrate a “Greenprint” Strategy to develop ideas that can be implemented. Since the Oakland Core is also likely to focus on this through Innovation Oakland and its Smart Streets project, we will focus on the residential neighborhoods and their relationship to the business core, in the spirit of Elm Street approaches.

OUR APPROACH Pfaffmann + Associates (P+A) and Studio for Spatial Practice (SfSP) will provide an integrated team approach that includes economic planners 4ward Planning and transportation planners Fitzgerald & Halliday. Our approach is differentiated by a passion for personal, grass roots community engagement and a willingness to try new ways to accomplish this. We are highly tuned to the culture and demographics of a place and recognize that one size and type of charrette process may not fit all. We will work to build from your substantial start on the fifty-five dialogue sessions that took place throughout South, Central, West and North Oakland. OPDC’s capacity to facilitate and develop outreach is a key a part of the way we will organize our team. The diverse stakeholders that have been engaged already are impressive. The diversity in age, race, and socio-economic background will result in a variety of themes as already shown in the conversations held to date. Our team is composed of experienced planning professionals that are attuned to Pittsburgh’s neighborhoods and to each of the identified thematic areas, whether it is streetscapes, housing or development issues. As architects who have actually implemented components of community plans, we are able to make sure that the vision for 2025 is both inspiring and achievable. We have designed the housing, transit and streetscape components of many community plans and know how to navigate the agencies that are the key to success. Christine will work closely with you to develop user-focused strategies for the charrette and interaction with the community using models, “walk-shops” and other hands-on approaches. Carl will develop an effective website and social media outlets with you to allow access to information and ideas and to encourage dialogue. I will work with you to explore the idea of a “developer workshop” to encourage these stakeholders, increase awareness and ensure that development hot spots are well understood and planned. Jeff will explore the role of heritage and culture including the arts in the neighborhoods. Our projects are diverse, yet pertinent. For instance, we have implemented a streetscape lighting project for the Northside; we are consulting on the design of the Highland Avenue Bridge; and we have completed design of innovative green infill housing in East Liberty. As preservation planning professionals, we also bring a deep understanding of the technology and economics of heritage preservation. We are LEED certified and have executed four recent LEED projects, including the Hill District Library, that have engaged the community in thinking about sustainability. We are Tree tenders and understand the urban landscape. We work with large developers and understand the challenges of places, like the Oakland Portal, and how they need to fit well within a dense neighborhood. We can imagine a thematic organization built from the following (we developed a similar approach to our work on the Central Northside and include an example of the “placemats” that resulted from the charrettes for each of the focus areas). • • • • • •

Coordination with Other Consultants We will also connect with our peers working on the Plan Pittsburgh Team and the Innovative Oakland/Smart Streets Project. We are excited by the unique opportunity to collaborate with the ARUP team as well as the Plan Pittsburgh Consultants and staff. In summary, our approach will be designed in collaboration with OPDC staff and stakeholders. We will do this through: • Neighborhood and user-focused design and process • Understanding the cultural geography of Oakland • Collaboration with Plan Pittsburgh consultants • Connecting to surrounding communities and to the core (Innovative Oakland/Smart Streets) University of Pittsburgh Students We would also like to propose that students from planning and sustainability programs in the neighborhood (Pitt Architectural Studies Program and Mascaro Center for Sustainable Innovation, for example) be recruited to assist the professional team. We have found that this approach can be rewarding and build new relationships between “town and gown.” We are not counting on this in our labor but are excited about considering it. We have talked to program leaders at the Architectural Studies Program about this and they are very enthusiastic and look forward to talking to OPDC.

SUPPORT FROM OPDC The capacity of OPDC to support the charrette process is a great opportunity to allow our team to focus more time on design problems and develop more effective graphic and written work. We would like to see the OPDC designate a project manger who would work directly with Carl and Christine to develop the charrette “road map.” From a fee/time point of view you can see that our fee reflects that the organizing and physical set up responsibilities will lie with OPDC. From experience, this allows our team to provide advice and apply its creativity without the need to deal with the often time-consuming aspects of finding an appropriate venue, doing special community outreach, etc. For example, in almost all our communities, we had to spend time just having meetings to bring people to the table when there were internal disputes. There will be times when we as “outsiders” can be helpful and we would expect to assist you if needed. A word on physical charrette space: As architects we like to practice what we preach. Good design helps people be more productive and focused. We would challenge OPDC to find a space that can be the “home base” for the project and charrette team. All of us live in the East End and we can imagine an old/unrented storefront as a great place to allow extensive interaction and conduct charrettes. At the same time, we have also found that strategically rotating meeting locations can be useful where the residents/stakeholders can be more successfully engaged. You know your community well and we will work with you to design a charrette work plan that is custom fit for Oakland. Our goal is to immerse ourselves in Oakland, blurring the lines between consultant and client wherever possible. For example, we have often taken the time to bicycle, walk and bring friends to our clients’ neighborhoods and hang out for coffee on a Saturday morning. This let’s us discover issues or opportunities that might be missed in a more distant consultant relationship.

TIMELINE We have reviewed the overall time frame for the project and it appears to be appropriate for the project scope and expectations. We do know from experience that there are periods of the year when it is difficult to organize charrettes that require such sustained commitment from stakeholders. The holiday season can reduce participation between Thanksgiving and New Years. Likewise, the academic calendar suggests that the fall is ideal to include institutional and academic stakeholders. This simple timeline captures our initial thinking on the question of when to conduct the charrette process: July 2011 Project Start/Project Team Meeting July 25, 2011 August 2011 Complete the Road Map and Charrette Schedule Charrette Planning and Logistics Meeting (late August) August/September 2011 Pre-charrette economic and demographic research. While the weather is good, we propose a series of pre-charrette Stakeholder “Walkshop” Meetings. We have found these to be very popular and effective leading up to charrettes. November 2011 Multi-day Charrette We have nicknamed November as “Charrette Month” in our conceptual schedule because we think that the scale and multiplicity of issues will require something that may span over the entire month rather than just a few days. We recommend completing all of this process before Thanksgiving to avoid holiday conflicts. If for some reason this does not work, we are prepared to begin in January and still meet your completion schedule. We believe that the nature of Pittsburgh’s dense, highly developed neighborhoods requires some adjustments to the National Charrette Institute process. It is a great framework for success, but we expect to work with you to make adjustments to the approach in some areas. Public Open House with “Placemat” summaries. Placemats are compact (tabloid format), accessible summaries that are working graphic summaries of the charrette process. The Public open space will provide digital and printed summaries of the charrette and provisions for input and commentary organized thematically and geographically. Presentation Development Dry Run with Staff of OPDC We will conduct a dry run presentation with the project team and OPDC staff in preparation for the final public meeting. Final Public Meeting The Public Meeting will summarize the outcomes distribute and post summaries and provide for any additional input or Q&A. A discussion about implementation and development partnerships will be included. January 2012 Two training sessions for stakeholders and public officials are anticipated. We will create a frequently asked questions document collaboratively with OPDC to assist “evangelists” for the 2025 Plan. March 2012 Document Production will completed no later than May 15, 2012

RELEVANT PROJECTS We have included project summaries for relevant recent projects. Many of our full reports are available on our website in PDF form (www.pfaffmann.com). If you would like to borrow hard copies we would be glad to provide them. • • • • •

BUDGET Attached is a detailed budget based on the scope of services and our proposed approach. Our outside consultants (economic and transportation) are broken out separately. The P+A/SfSP collaboration is approximately a 50/50 split, not including administrative and intern hours which are about 5% of the total. We will detail this further if you require. We use a blended rate of $100/hour with some rates higher and some lower. We have found this to be a reasonably accurate way to estimate cost. Our consultants have included their travel and expenses in their fee. We have set up an allowance for our expenses, which would be primarily printing and plotting for the charrette and final report binders; we expect them to cost about $500 a set (we typically organize it into three parts: An executive summary (“Placemats”), a primary report binder, and a tabloid binder for the drawings. A CD is produced with low and high-resolution copies.

DELIVERABLES You can expect a complete set of deliverables in hard copy and electronic form. To reduce printing and environmental/paper costs we do try to limit our sets of final binders to six. We assume that community outreach flyers and agendas will be designed, printed and distributed by OPDC. We will provide graphic handouts in PDF for printing by you. • • • • • • • • • • • • •

Project Feasibility Analysis. P+A emphasizes a sustainable approach to solving problems that combine the built environment and economic viability. Recent projects include the historic Garden Theatre Block; Farmers Market Planning for Pittsburgh’s Market Square; East End Citiparks market relocation; and the South Side Market House Feasibility Study. Environmental Design. From historic interpretation to waterfront access, Pfaffmann + Associates brings special expertise to planning parks, recreation corridors and other elements of the natural and urban environment. Recent projects include the Point State Park Master Plan; Friends of the Riverfront Access Points; and the Lawrenceville Riverfront Access Plan. Design Codes and Guidelines. P+A provides clear, appropriate and flexible guidelines for short- and long-term planning for zoning and building codes. Recent projects include Sewickley Business District Design Guidelines and Zoning Changes; lighting plans for Northside business districts; Vacant Upper Floors Study; and the City of Pittsburgh’s Urban Lighting Standards. Corridor Planning and Streetscape Design. Recognizing neighborhoods as key units in community development, Pfaffmann + Associates sees the potential in transit routes as important civic spaces and neighborhood centers. Recent projects include Broadway Avenue Streetscape Improvements in Stowe Township, the Bakery Row Vision Plan and the Oakland Western Portal Study. Historic Preservation Planning. P+A brings strong commitment to the reuse of historically significant buildings. Recent projects include the Oakland Civic Center Conservation Study; restoration of the terra cotta facade of the Allegheny Observatory; and historic structure reports for August Wilson’s childhood home and the Rachel Carson Homestead.

CARL BERGAMINI, RA, AICP Carl Bergamini actively leads many of the urban and regional design projects for Pfaffmann + Associates. He began his career at Bohlin Cywinski Jackson, where he helped develop the master plan for Virginia Point Park at the confluence of the Ohio and Big Sandy Rivers in West Virginia. Carl joined Pfaffmann + Associates in 2001 to further develop the firm’s skills in planning and feasibility studies. A brief hiatus in 2003 took him to the Chicago firm of Ross Barney + Jankowski to work on plans for the Chicago Riverfront. At Pfaffmann + Associates, Carl’s projects have included community master plans for numerous neighborhoods including Lawrenceville, the Central Northside, Fineview and currently Polish Hill. He has worked to develop market feasibility studies in East Liberty, the South Side and the Strip District and has also worked on gateway development proposals in Oakland and East Allegheny. He recently led the design of a new library in Bridgeville, and is currently working on the design and construction of a new plaza and streetscape improvements at Highmark’s Fifth Avenue Place building, and the new Gateway Station Plaza and subway station in Downtown Pittsburgh. Carl is passionate about community process and place-making, and believes that everyday ordinary acts of architecture and landscape design are key tools to help bring people together to effect positive change. An avid urban hiker and photographer, he is interested in how art, landscape and technology can be used as tools in this endeavor. Deeply committed to working in Pittsburgh, he is interested in making this unique city more livable and creative.

JEFF SLACK, AICP Jeff Slack is an accomplished planner and creative designer distinguished by the ability to teach creatively. Jeff joined Pfaffmann + Associates in 2006 to manage the firm’s preservation planning projects. He regularly employs a comprehensive approach to planning and has successfully managed design guidelines and zoning modifications for the Borough of Sewickley, a comprehensive preservation assessment of the Garden Theatre Block, and a preservation plan and historic structure report for August Wilson’s Childhood Home. He is currently managing the second phase of the restoration of the Allegheny Observatory of the University of Pittsburgh. Prior to joining P+A, Jeff developed and implemented a reconnaissance survey of historic resources in Binghamton—the largest survey of its kind at that time in New York State. As a designer in Arlington, Virginia, he initiated and managed a public art program and also created a year-round juried community exhibition program. Upon moving back to Pittsburgh, Jeff immersed himself in the local art community and advised private and corporate clients at Concept Art Gallery with art selection and display. Jeff possesses extensive knowledge of Pittsburgh’s historic and cultural resources. He played a lead role in the conception and design of the National Building Museum’s 1992 Honor Exhibition, Making It Work: Pittsburgh Defines a City. His skills at translating information into creative formats for varied audiences can also be seen in the design of City of Magnificent Distances, an interactive historic preservation walking tour for the Library of Congress, and in Mapping Change, Charting the Future: A Cartographic History of Washington’s Urban Design, which he curated for the National Endowment for the Arts Design Access Program. Benjamin Forgey, architecture critic for The Washington Post praised the latter declaring, “This exhibition is incredibly rich in information. Plus it’s fun.” Jeff’s passion to share his knowledge of preservation planning can be seen in two impressive undergraduate courses he developed—the first preservation fieldwork course at the University of Pittsburgh and a pro bono course on the Hill District at Duquesne University. Jeff routinely challenges himself and engages the community outside of work. He has testified regularly before local review boards about planning issues and has served for three years on the board of Preservation Pittsburgh.

CLIENT QUOTES & REVIEWS Pfaffmann + Associates’ public participation process for the Hill District Library was very sensitive to context, site and neighborhood concerns. This helped us get the results we wanted for the facility, respond to community needs and establish civic ownership of the library. One user exclaimed, “I feel like I helped to design this!” —Jane Dayton, former Assistant Director, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh

A level of inquiry that rarely happens and is even more rarely implemented. Understanding the historical nature to that level of detail is admirable. Even given the limited information we were provided, it was a joy to admire. By being so thorough and pragmatic, they have created a very sustainable strategy by allowing this wonderful old campus to be maintained. It is a wonderful celebration of the art of building and construction craftsmanship. —AIA Jury comments on Oakland Civic Center Conservation Study

The work of Pfaffmann + Associates always impresses me with its quality of design from concept to detailing, the commitment to patiently realizing memorable projects in complex situations, and its achievement of balance between program, sustainability and design— whether it be new buildings or planning projects. —Craig Dunham, The Rubinoff Company

Pfaffmann + Associates makes creative use of green technology while addressing rigorous program demands. They have proven themselves good listeners with a shared passion for preservation and history. —Betty Arenth, Senior Vice President, Senator John Heinz History Center

A piece of art in the city. Sculptural. This project shows that parking garages have a legitimate form of their own and don't have to necessarily look like or imitate other building types. This structure sets up its own identity on the streetscape. The project is expedient— but very, very effective. —AIA Jury comments on Fort Duquesne & Sixth Parking Garage Renovation

The challenges associated with designing a public facility at the Meadowcroft Rockshelter were many—not the least of which were a steeply-sloped site halfway up a rock cliff; a sensitive and highly significant prehistoric archaeological site; and the desire to minimally impact the biologically diverse area that had changed little since the site was first used by prehistoric people. Balance was the key to success. Pfaffmann + Associates had a firm grasp on this from the start and helped us achieve what we wanted. —Dave Scofield, Director, Meadowcroft Rock Shelter

Partial recommendations from a neighborhood working group

Housing opportunity areas

Hillside housing prototypes

Transportation connections

Community meetings, working groups, charrettes

Working closely with community stakeholders through a series of charrettes, Pfaffmann + Associates developed a comprehensive community master plan for the Central Northside that respected and anticipated the neighborhood's diverse demographics and geography. With signiﬁcant input from neighborhood working groups, numerous community meetings and GIS mapping, P+A developed recommendations to improve opportunities for yourth, arts and culture; green transportation; streetscape and safety issues; lighting strategies; street grid and trafﬁc concerns; housing opportunities, economic development; and a vison for the neighborhood's historic Garden Theatre Block.

LAWRENCEVILLE COMMUNITY PLAN

Pfaffmann + Associates worked with the Lawrenceville Corporation, Lawrenceville United and the Lawrenceville Stakeholders to develop a comprehensive neighborhood community plan. An extemsive series of community meetings was conducted to help identify general guidelines for neighborhood improvements and specific areas within the larger neighborhood for more detailed design study and recommendations. The resulting planning document was then used to help leverage funds for specific projects.

RELEVANT EXPERIENCE

POLISH HILL COMMUNITY PLAN

Set for completion in September 2011, the Polish Hill Community Plan is a comprehensive master plan that focuses on ecology, the arts and community building. After a series of micro-events to discuss the future of the neighborhood, the project included a day-long workshop organized around transportation, open space and housing, and social space. Working with a highly motivated and innovative steering committee, Pfaffmann + Associates developed strategies to support housing in the neighborhood, improve Polish Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s gateways, and bridge some of the gaps that currently exist within the community by preserving culture and connecting the neighborhoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s generations.

The plan is focused on guiding the revitalization of the existing mixed-use retail corridor through a combination of development guidelines, infrastructure recommendations and streetscape and open space improvements. The project also explored reconnecting the neighborhood to the Allegheny river. For the project Studio fSP led a public process to analyze, explore options and make recommendations for the district. Since the planning was done, new businesses have continued to open in the district, plans are underway for new mixed-use development at Doughboy Square, a small park space has been constructed, and recommendations from the plan have been incorporated into long term policy documents for the future of the Allegheny Riverfront.

The Hill District Greenprint is both a landscape based urban design framework and a set of specific landscape interventions for Pittsburgh’s Hill District. At the neighborhood scale the Greenprint reimagines the Hill as a village surrounded by woods as means of both reconnecting the neighborhood to its ecological context, and of repositioning the community after severe disinvestment and depopulation. The project proposes a series of public space interventions to organize and beautify the neighborhood’s open space by reinforcing pedestrian connections, creating new plazas, gardens and trails, and addressing stormwater management issues. The project is intended to strengthen the Hill’s relationship to the larger social and ecological context repositioning it for the 21st Century. The Parks Conservancy is currently working to move forward key landscape projects from the plan, and the Greenprint is being incorporated in the Hill District Master Plan.

Bridging the Busway is a strategic development plan for the Homewood and Point Breeze North neighborhoods of Pittsburgh. The plan recommends using transitoriented development as a tool for stabilizing and reinvigorating Homewood and rebuilding the market in the community by strengthening its connections to the more stable neighborhoods to the south. Underway now, the design process has employed a series of focus groups, design workshops and larger public meetings to develop and test both strategic planning recommendations for the larger community, and specific design recommendations for key development sites. The process has emphasized leveraging key existing physical, cultural and institutional assets in Homewood as a means to reestablish the neighborhood as destination and a residential community of choice.

About 4ward Planning LLC Economic & Real Estate Analysis for Sustainable Land Use Outcomes Conventional land use planning has often emphasized the economic benefits of prospective development projects at the expense of the host communities’ social, environmental and fiscal interests. While development projects may, ultimately, prove financially profitable to their sponsors, there is less certainty regarding the project’s impacts on local housing markets, air and water quality, employment markets, municipal operating and capital budgets and access to basic necessities (primary medical services, childcare and full-service grocery stores). 4ward Planning was established to assist local governments and developers achieve sustainable development outcomes through responsible, future-based planning. Our approach, founded in socioeconomic analysis, seeks the optimum development or redevelopment program based on best case outcomes within the social, environmental, fiscal and economic systems (the “4” in 4ward Planning) of a host community and its surrounding area. While we incorporate conventional economic and market analysis techniques within our assignments, we go a step further to examine the variables often overlooked by traditional approaches to market evaluation. Our added value to our clients is in identifying critical factors and issues (e.g., ratio of median income to median home prices and rental rates; licensed childcare facilities per 1000 workers, etc.) that, if left unaddressed or minimized, could cause longer term threats to the vibrancy of local and regional markets. 4ward Planning looks ahead to improve today's land-use investment decisions. We provide services to the public, private and non-profit sectors and focus in the following practice areas:

Public Involvement Services

Community and Site Planning

FHI is a proponent of building consensus through energetic and comprehensive community involvement. Our approach to public involvement is an inclusive program that brings the stakeholders into the project planning process and allows a two-way exchange of information. We work with the client and community to disseminate information, build consensus, and mold a successful outcome. Listening is essential to consensus building, giving both proponents and critics the opportunity to raise and resolve issues. We use a wide range of tools for public involvement, including: public meetings and partnering sessions, group meetings and workshops, focus groups, newsletters and bulletins, multimedia displays and presentations, posters and graphics, interactive project websites, and others. In many cases, attention to the little things and a commitment to being responsive can make the difference between a successful result and a “mighthave-been.”

FHI staff apply a wide range of inter-disciplinary skills necessary for community and site planning studies, drawing upon our capabilities in land use and zoning, transportation system planning, natural resource assessment, historic evaluation, environmental impact analysis, and environmental compliance. We have applied our expertise toward opportunity and constraint analyses, private development projects, municipal plans of development and conservation, watershed studies, emergency evacuation studies, open space planning, smart growth initiatives, and expert testimony on planning and zoning issues. Our resourceful staff conduct research, undertake ﬁeld investigations, engage in effective public involvement, and prepare appropriate planning documentation tailored to project goals.

Technical Services FHI adds value to every planning project through application of the latest technologies in geographic information systems (GIS), website development, and database design. FHI utilizes GIS software to map project resources, conduct visual d assessments, and to perform a range of spatial analyses to enhance planning studies at all scales and in many disciplines. We have expertise in designing and establishing interactive websites to communicate project information on large state and regional projects. FHI staff create and adapt databases for a variety of purposes, such as to catalogue and analyze survey results, catalogue public involvement comments, inventory historic resources with links to GIS software, track project commitments, and develop contact lists for public outreach programs. We also use state-of-the-art software to produce innovative and comprehensible graphics, and to prepare multimedia presentations.

I-587 Kingston Intersection Study KinJston, New York

Description

Fitzgerald & Halliday, Inc. (FHI) was hired by the Ulster County Transportation Council to achieve a consensus among stakeholders and the public on a preferred intersection improvement alternative for the intersection of I-587 with Albany Avenue/Broadway. As with other truncated expressways around the nation, I-587â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s abrupt transition from a high speed, limited access facility to a downtown commercial and residential setting creates a number of problems, including: high speeds, heavy volumes, deteriorated property values, unsafe bicycle and pedestrian conditions, recurrent congestion, accidents, poor economic development potential, and diminished community character. FHI designed an outreach process that was highly inclusive, transparent, cost effective, and respectful of peoplesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; time. A three-day planning workshop was held to bring together transportation professionals, urban planners, project stakeholders, and the public to develop innovative solutions for this complex intersection. The result was the development of a roundabout concept for the intersection, along with a broader recommendation to create additional transportation network to handle future growth.

Norwalk Connectivity Plan Norwalk, Connecticut

Description

Fitzgerald and Halliday, Inc. assisted the City of Norwalk Redevelopment Agency with the development of a Connectivity Plan that creates a comprehensive vision for the Cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s transportation infrastructure in the vicinity of several active and proposed downtown developments. The Norwalk Connectivity Plan will serve as an important component of the City of Norwalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown land development planning process. This plan will ensure that multi-modal linkages are created to unify separate developments into a successful urban fabric that not only accommodates all modes of circulation. Connectivity in Norwalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown will improve access to goods and services needed by area residents and workers. Improved connectivity will also reduce automobile dependence, increase the areaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s potential as a regional destination, and enhance economic development within Norwalkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Downtown. To achieve these synergies and address existing physical and visual barriers, improvements are needed to the downtownâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure, transportation, and urban design. The outcome of the study will be a report that serves to inform readers on the importance of planning Downtown Norwalk in a way that promotes not only sustainability, but growth into the future. With limited road capacity and developable land available, Norwalk is at a point in time when a clear vision for the future is needed.
