Project or Equipment Description and Justification <br />Project Description: <br />This project is intended to create a unique, vibrant, and engaging Main Street <br />environment. The parallel parking stalls on Main Street between Spruce and Walnut will <br />be removed and the existing sidewalk extended into the street, to make room for <br />permanent outdoor seating areas and street trees. This project will build on the success <br />of the temporary patios that have occupied Main Street for the past two summers. <br />Why Is this project needed and how does it support City Council's goals? <br />This project will enhance the downtown pedestrian environment and help to create a <br />walkable and vibrant downtown Louisville. <br />What benefits will this project produce or what undesirable consequences will occur if <br />it is not approved? <br />Creating a walkable and engaging downtown environment will encourage the use of off <br />street surface parking by helping to create a place where pedestrians park once and <br />travel to various downtown destinations through a vibrant and comfortable space. <br />What realistic options or alternatives have been considered and what are the pros and <br />cons of each? <br />Staff evaluated portable patio areas that would require removal and reinstallation <br />annually. This alternative includes additional labor and storage capability. Staff will work <br />with the DBA to determine the an effective, aethtic and reasonable priced alternative to <br />provide additional seating/dining areas within the Main Street right of way. <br />Five -Year Capital Improvement Program <br />Request for Capital Equipment or Capital Improvement Project <br />Project or Equipment Identification <br />Project Name: Main Street Patios <br />Estimated Expenditure Schedule <br />Equipment or Five -Year Year 1 Year2 Year 3 Year 4 Year 5 <br />Project Costs Total 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 <br />Submitting DepartmentlDivision: Public Works -Engineering Land Acquisition <br />Design & Engineering <br />Percent Other Prof Services <br />100%Construction <br />Other or Equipment <br />Funding Source(s)/Location(s) <br />Capital Projects <br />Total Funding <br />Department Priority <br />200,000 200,000 <br />Beyond <br />5 Years <br />Total Project Costs 200,000 200,000 <br />Grant{s} or Other <br />Project Revenue <br />100% Impact to Annual <br />plaint/Op Costs <br />Project Location Map, Equipment identification Photo, or Other <br />
