Destination Downtown: HIP Streets Master Plan

5 May 2009

1- INTRODUCTION

CONTEXT AND HISTORY

Situated at the edge of the Rocky Mountain foothills and their confluence with the Big Thompson River, Colorado’s “Sweetheart City”, Loveland was founded in 1877 along a newlyconstructed line of the Colorado Central Railroad linking Denver to Cheyenne. It was named in honor of William A.H. Loveland, the president of the Colorado Central Railroad. Views to Longs Peak and Big Thompson Canyon dominate the community and Downtown core.

During the early 1900’s the City thrived on its agriculture, including sugar beets and sour cherries. As orchards and sugar beet factories began their declines mid-century, Loveland’s economy expanded into technology and manufacturing.

Tourism has continued to be a mainstay of the local economy since the first visitors to passed through the City on their way to Rocky Mountain National Park. In years past, tourists extended their visit to the area with a stop in Downtown Loveland via coach or car.

Many of today’s visitor’s however, bypass the Downtown area on their quick journey west on US Highway 34, just north of the Downtown core. Attracting visitors and residents alike to the Downtown area is a challenge in Loveland as it is in many of today’s communities.

The Downtown core contains many buildings of local historical significance with varied architectural styles. The Colorado Central rail depot was completed in 1877. The original structure was replaced in 1902 by the present-day depot, and the bricks from the old depot were used for the sidewalk. One of the City’s first commercial buildings, the original Hertizinger and Harter building store is still standing on the northwest corner of Cleveland Avenue and Fourth Street.

Rialto Theater

Located at the heart of Loveland’s Downtown on 4 Street, the Rialto’s “art nouveau” architecture was designed by noted architect, Robert K. Fuller. At its opening in May, 1920, the theater had 1,040 wooden seats, a balcony, dressing rooms and an orchestra pit. Built primarily to show silent films, the Rialto also hosted traveling vaudeville shows, local talent contests and graduations.

Between 1920 and 1947 the Rialto operated primarily as a movie theater. In 1977, the interior of the building was converted into retail shops and offices. After years of marginal success, the shops closed and the Rialto was left essentially vacant until 1987 when the theater was identified as a catalyst project to help revitalize the Downtown. The Theater reopened as a community performing arts center in 1996 and has been added to the National Register of Historic Places. Operated by the City of Loveland, the current theater seats 450 and hosts a variety of musical, theater and film events. th

Cultural Arts

Loveland has a great reputation as a community that supports the arts. The City has a large population of artists, three foundries an art museum and world-renown annual sculpture shows.

The City’s Valentine Re-Mailing Program hand stamps hundreds of thousands of Valentines each February. The locally produced Valentine cards are also part of the annual program.

In 1985, Loveland was the first city in Colorado to adopt an Art in Public Places ordinance, designating one percent of the city’s capital construction projects of $50,000 or more for the purchase of art. Currently, the City’s collection of 307 pieces is valued at more than 7 million dollars. The Visual Arts Commission, a nine-member volunteer citizens’ committee, oversees the city’s art acquisitions/ donations and site selection.

Bronze has historically been the focus of the City’s collection, but in recent years the work has expanded to include wide variety of art types and media, including oil paintings, watercolors, pastels, chalk, photography and more.

The Loveland Museum/Gallery serves as a regional cultural center by collecting, preserving and interpreting Loveland’s history. The 4,000 square foot Gallery features regional, national and international exhibitions. The Museum hosts historical exhibits, art classes, workshops, poetry readings and demonstrations.

The lagoon at Civic Center Park and Peters Park adjacent to the Museum/Gallery host performing arts and musical events throughout the year.

PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED

Many previous planning efforts have pointed to the benefit of investment in Downtown and its ability to spur re-development within the larger community. With the designation of an Urban Renewal Authority in Loveland, several recent urban infill projects and additional sites identified as potential redevelopment opportunities, momentum has been building to improve the City’s existing Downtown infrastructure. With the exception of the, minor utility upgrades and minor CDOT spurred intersection improvements; much of the Downtown Loveland infrastructure is as it has been for decades. Maintenance and repair of streetscape, landscape and furnishings in the Downtown has suffered since the disbanding of the DDA nearly ten years ago. Improvements to these elements along with utility services will not only benefit residents, business owners, property owners and visitors to the Downtown, but also provide the infrastructure framework that will attract new businesses and development to the Downtown core. Many communities have undergone similar infrastructure improvement projects and have reaped the benefits of a Downtown that the community can be proud of and one which is the preferred location for new businesses to locate. The recently completed Lincoln Place, Park Place Plaza and improvements to the Lincoln Hotel are creating great strides toward continued investment in Downtown Loveland. As the current “heart” of Downtown, the central block of 4th Street between Cleveland and Lincoln with its dining, shopping and entertainment venues including the Rialto, is the logical location to build upon existing successes.

A vibrant Downtown is one which is dominated by people and activities, not vehicles. The purpose of this project is to explore opportunities to create safer, pleasant environments for people to stroll, shop, dine and be entertained; in turn creating the vibrant Downtown that Loveland has the potential to become. In order to be fully successful these infrastructure plans should be executed hand-in-hand with other City and community based revitalization efforts including goals outlined in the City’s comprehensive planning documents, URA, private-public partnerships/incentives and tax based improvement districts. This document serves as the basis to begin seeking funding opportunities and partnerships for any project improvements. Several projects are located adjacent to re-development opportunity sites.

Although this master plan serves as the starting point for the design of these spaces, ultimate designs should be coordinated closely with re-development opportunities to best meet the needs of the community, City and potential developers.

PROJECT PROCESS

This Master Plan was undertaken with an extremely collaborative approach, incorporating opportunities for input from all facets of the community. Public input was solicited at the Project Start-up, Alternatives, Concept Design, Draft and Final Master Plan tasks. Each public meeting included opportunities to comment on graphic presentation materials and complete detailed surveys indicating their concerns and preferences on project designs.

Detailed surveys and project graphics were available throughout the project on the City’s website, allowing additional opportunities for public comment. Additional separate open houses were held with business owners to discuss concerns specific to design and potential construction. Detailed documentation of all outreach surveys for the project as well as the public meeting schedule is included in the Appendix.

The project received guidance from a City Staff Technical Committee, Steering Committee and the Loveland Downtown Team (LDT) throughout the duration of the project.

The role of the City Staff Technical Committee was to review design concepts for compliance with technical standards and consideration for durability, cost and long-term maintenance. The Steering Committee was comprised of representatives from various focus groups within the community, City Council, property owners and members of the general public. The Steering Committee assisted in creation of the project goals, vision and designs, balancing input from their representative groups, public meetings and personal preferences based on what they would like to see in Downtown Loveland. The Steering Committee participated in a one-day precedent site visit trip with City Staff and the design team to various other successful downtown’s and urban infill projects along the Front Range. This experience provided the group additional points of reference and knowledge on what has worked and not worked in other communities, and what elements may be appropriate for Loveland. A summary of comments and preferences from the site visits is included in the Appendix.

2 - OPPORTUNITIES AND CHALLENGES

EXISTING CONDITIONS ANALYSIS The US 287 couplet presents both opportunities and challenges for Loveland’s Downtown.

They create the opportunity to expose many passers-through to the Downtown, but the high volume and higher speeds of the roadways create barriers for pedestrians. Noise from both roadways can be heard throughout the core study area, creating challenges for urban plaza and event use. The fact that 4th Street – Loveland’s “Main Street” runs perpendicular to US 287 rather than along it, presents opportunities that would not exist were US 287 the City’s “Main Street”. Most businesses front on the east-west streets, allowing the opportunity to create safe and inviting pedestrian experiences along these corridors.

Vehicular and pedestrian connectivity to major destinations outside the core such as the Civic Center and Fairgrounds Park is challenging due to their distance from the core and barriers of US 287 and the rail line. The minimal number of pedestrian and vehicular crossings of the rail line also hinders connectivity from western residential neighborhoods into the core. Where complete roadway, sidewalk or bike path opportunities are not possible to enhance these connections, signage and wayfinding can go a long way to changing the perception of “distance” between these areas and the core. Specific locations for bicycle lanes are not called out in this master plan. Final streetscape designs will integrate findings of the City’s Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan.

All east-west streets within the study area have a right-of-way of 75-80’, two traffic lanes and angled parking (except 6th). Sidewalk widths (10-12’) are too narrow to accommodate any exterior building use such as outdoor patios or display areas. This issue is exaggerated by the angled parking, when vehicles pull up to the curb and extend into the sidewalk. Placement of signage, lighting and furnishings is also difficult due to the narrow sidewalk width.

VIEW Many locations on the east-west streets have mountain views, even where existing street trees are located. These views provide a partial visual terminus; however, there are some locations that could benefit from a more defined visual terminus at the rail line along 3rd and 5th.

SITE DESIGN ELEMENTS Existing mid-block and corner bulb-outs are improperly oriented for parking directions, creating inefficiencies and minimizing their usefulness as landscape areas. Retaining walls are in disrepair and are located too close to parking areas. Bollards have been installed in many locations to prevent cars from hitting retaining walls. Bulb-outs are needed in the east-west direction to lessen pedestrian crossing times of Cleveland and Lincoln.

PUBLIC ART Many pieces of the City’s public art program and the “Hearts of Loveland” program are located within the Downtown. Public art bike racks are used in many locations but are inconsistently used since users are not identifying them as a bike rack or are afraid to cause damage to the piece. Locations of the pieces within the streetscape are random and their pedestal designs inconsistent. Consistency in placement and pedestal design could further enhance the Downtown’s sense of place and allow for rotating exhibits.

Opportunities exist in several locations for large signature pieces such as in front of the Rialto and Museum Plaza.

SITE FURNISHINGS Site furnishings are varied throughout the study area, including varied designs and materials. Standardized furnishings will help create a sense of place for the Downtown and reduce maintenance needs. Additional bike racks, trash receptacles and recycling containers are needed. Newspaper boxes are currently located randomly located along the sidewalk and should be directed to consolidated locations with enclosures.

LANDSCAPE Landscape within the Downtown core is generally lacking and in need of maintenance.

After the disbanding of the DDA, maintenance and planting of some landscape beds continued by individual business owners, with remaining areas being turned over to the City. Plant material within beds is inconsistent and many areas are overgrown. Bulbout beds on Lincoln are used for annuals only and are bare the remainder of the year.

Structural plantings such as pots would create more year-round interest and create opportunities for seasonal planting displays. Pots could also be used for seasonal public art displays. Bulb-out beds are also located to close to the roadway and plantings suffer from over-spray of street debris. Street tree canopy is inconsistent, with trees located only at intersections and some mid-block locations. Some trees are in decline, while others continue to do well. Maintaining the current mature tree canopy is critical to creating the historic feel of the Downtown.

LIGHTING Pedestrian scale street lighting is absent from most streets with the exception of Lincoln. The lighting standards used on Lincoln should be compatible with any proposed pedestrian lighting for new streetscapes. Street lighting is generally located in conjunction with signal poles at intersections and supplemented by a single pole one side of the street at mid-block. Options to the standard cobra head design should be explored for key areas of the project. No accent or low level lighting is provided throughout the Downtown streetscapes. Additional GFI outlets are also needed on light poles to support community events and gatherings.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance of roadways, sidewalks, furnishings, landscape and lighting is currently done by a multitude of City Departments and property/business owners. Landscape beds, specifically, lack uniform maintenance practices and plant palettes, as they are maintained by a combination of City staff and business owners. Partnership programs should be explored to ensure that all landscape areas are getting maintained to the same level of quality, ensuring longevity of the plants which the City has invested in. Further coordination between City Departments should be undertaken to ensure that all elements are being properly maintained. Revenue from the current City GID currently provides some funding, but is not adequate to support a complete maintenance program.

ACCESSIBILITY The sidewalk can be broken down into three use area zones as illustrated in Figure 2-1. The existing sidewalk widths of 10-12 feet in many areas do not allow appropriate widths for each of these elements of the streetscape, impeding the sidewalk zone, which in some cases may not meet accessibility requirements. 15’ wide sidewalks would be the preferred minimum width to provide proper clearance for amenities and circulation for pedestrians. Other accessibility issues currently exist within the study area such as degraded, uneven sidewalk surfaces, and steeply sloped ramps/approaches.

opportunities and challenges

Destination Downtown: HIP Streets Master Plan

3rd Street

Building setbacks are larger in many locations on 3rd and much of the south side is dominated by parking lots, giving the appearance of a larger right-of-way and creating a scale that is not conducive to pedestrian use. Lack of signalized crossings on 3rd at Cleveland and Lincoln decreases both pedestrian and vehicular activity on these blocks.

Selection of this location for the parking garage along with potential redevelopment opportunities on the south side of 3rd will help spur future activity in this corridor.

The lack of even a pedestrian crossing of the rail line at the west end of 3rd creates a barrier between the Downtown core, western residential neighborhoods and the potential Feed and Grain redevelopment site. The Feed and Grain site has been identified as a landmark and catalyst site in the City’s Downtown URA Plan. The potential to re-open the pedestrian access should be explored if the redevelopment project moves forward.

This will allow better pedestrian connectivity and the potential to access parking to the west of the rail line.

4TH Street

Currently the “heart” of the Downtown, 4th Street has many existing features which can be built upon to spur success within other streets in Downtown. 4th Street contains a diverse mix of businesses and is the hub of cultural and dining opportunities within Downtown.

The Rialto is a major regional draw, and its location mid-block creates the opportunity to provide an expanded “plaza” bulb-out which can accommodate guests during intermissions and queuing for events. The existing tower clock is an historic feature and landmark.

4th is also the former site of the Barnes Fountain artesian well which is now housed at the Museum/Gallery and commemorated by a plaque. The right-of-way on 4th is one of the narrowest in the study area, at times as little as 76’, with sidewalks narrower than 10’ in some locations. This presents additional challenges due to the large number of pedestrians accessing the center three blocks of 4th. Existing conditions on 4th are shown in Figure 2-3.

The wide lanes, lack of curb and gutter and expanse of concrete at the rail crossing create the feeling of a barrier for pedestrians travelling between Garfield and Railroad.

The condition of pavement at the crossing also makes it un-safe. The parking access aisle on the north side creates additional pedestrian-vehicle conflicts. Sidewalk improvements, street trees or other vertical design elements in conjunction with the planned crossing upgrade will make this zone more pedestrian friendly. Greater pedestrian connectivity to neighborhoods on both the east and west would be beneficial to both neighborhoods and the 4th Street commercial core. Simple improvements to sidewalk conditions and the addition of lighting in these areas would greatly enhance pedestrian safety.

5th Street

Anchored by several large employers and destinations within the Downtown, 5th Street has the potential to become a focal streetscape within the core. Its proximity to the Museum/Gallery and proposed plaza create a unique opportunity for a streetscape/plaza blend, particularly when events are utilizing the plaza. West of Cleveland, 5th has the potential to be heavily used if redevelopment happens on the north side. Sidewalks are quite narrow along the south side of the street west of Cleveland. The existing parking lot on the south side has both public and private use and provides great access to the Depot and 4th Street.

6th Street

Most unique of all streets in the study area, 6th includes a tree lawn on the north side, continuous center turn lane and parallel parking. Fewer buildings front onto 6th and landuse is more varied including the large Larimer County office building, bank and residential. Very large mature trees in the tree lawns should be preserved through a streetscape design that is transitional urban in nature.

Lincoln and Cleveland Avenues (SH 287)

Although not part of the study area for detailed design, these one-way couplets heavily influence all the streets within the study area. They are vehiclular arteries that stretch along the entire northern Front Range, providing critical visibilty for business enterprise.

Some recent streetscape and intersection improvements have been completed on the couplets. Proposed designs within this master plan are intended to complement these improvements. Once standardized furnishings and signage are implemented in Downtown, these elements may also be added to key portions of the couplets.

ALLEYS AND PASS-THROUGHS

The existing Kitchen Alley is wide enough (18’) to allow placement of some site furnishing amenities while still providing access to the mid-alley grease trap. Improvements are needed to the paving surface and storm drainage. The low height of adjacent buildings helps create a suitable pedestrian environment and minimize ice and snow issues.

Adjacent buildings have fairly simple facades that would allow architectural enhancements and alley building entries should the owner be inclined. Since the Kitchen Alley provides access to existing parking and potentially a parking garage, the entry to the alley along 4th should be emphasized with a highly visible gateway and signage element to direct visitors to the parking. The alley lacks any lighting. Opportunities for either building mounted or freestanding lighting will help make the corridor safe at night.

Currently a building, the Mr. Neat’s Pass-through is substantially wider than a standard alley (38’). This presents both opportunities for use by adjacent buildings and challenges to ensure that the large space is occupied, active and feels safe. Inclusion of an overhead lighted structural element will help bring down the scale of the space.

Placement of any site furnishings or lighting should consider the ability to maximize use of the alley by adjacent buildings as they redevelop. The terminus of the pass-through at both the Rialto and Museum Plaza ensures that the alley would be well used and provide enhanced connectivity to several key destinations. The existing Quality Shoe building has recently been acquired by the City and may provide a potential alternative pass-through space. Any designs for this area should be coordinated with the proposed parking garage and streetscape designs prior to construction.

The 3 ½ and 4 ½ alleys are currently used by both vehicles and pedestrians. The alleys are in need of additional lighting for safer pedestrian access. Overhead utilities, service areas and trash enclosures also detract from the pedestrian experience and make vehicular passage more difficult. Consolidation of these items would be beneficial. Storm drainage and ice/snow issues also create safety hazards for pedestrians.

PLAZAS

Loveland’s Downtown currently lacks an urban public plaza or “town square”. The Civic Center Park and Lagoon serve to host many Downtown events, but its location is somewhat distant from the Downtown core and it is not well used by day visitors or workers within the Downtown. Its primary access along 3rd Street is problematic due to the lack of signalized intersections at Cleveland and Lincoln.

The existing Thompson Pocket Park is really a plaza, which does provide some support for small events and supports some daily use by Downtown employees. Its small size and proximity to busy Lincoln Avenue limit its potential to be useful as an event venue.

Its highest and best use should be geared toward commercial activities of the 287 corridor. The pocket park has been identified for as a redevelopment site.

Many Downtown events are currently held at the 5th/Lincoln parking lot. Converting this site to a permanent plaza (Museum Plaza) would create the urban plaza that the City is currently lacking. The plaza to be designed to fully accommodate these events, which are currently serviced by many temporary facilities. Day-to-day use would also be a focus of the design. The site’s location along Lincoln also creates a great opportunity to showcase the plaza as a centerpiece of Loveland’s heritage and culture. The large loss of parking spaces should be carefully evaluated and potential phasing/mitigation measures such as the parking garage identified. The plaza should embrace surrounding architecture, allowing for building use to open up onto the plaza. The plaza design should be flexible to accomodate any proposed building re-development on the plaza perimeter.

Destination Downtown: HIP Streets Master Plan

CIVIL ENGINEERING The condition of the infrastructure within the Downtown Loveland area can be classified as normal for an area with roots dating back to the turn of the 20th century. There is some existing infrastructure that is over 50-years old mixed with infrastructure that has been updated within the last few years, and everything in between.

In order to get a good understanding of the existing condition of the infrastructure within downtown, all streets within the core area were walked and the infrastructure of each corridor was assessed. These assessments can be found on the following pages. A synapse of these findings is as follows:

Roadway Surface

The pavement sections of all streets within the core area are composed of a concrete base section which ranges in thickness from 3 to 8-inches with an average 5.6” thickness.

On top of this concrete pavement is a Hot Bituminous Pavement (HBP) overlay ranging in thickness from 2 to 6-inches. An exception to this would be on the west side of 5th Street where the HBP overlay has been milled off to reveal the original concrete pavement that is currently being used as the driving surface.

The condition of the HBP varies throughout the downtown area, with the best pavement being on 5th Street and the worse pavement being on 4th Street. The HBP between Washington Ave. and Jefferson Ave. on 3rd and 6th Street is also in good condition.

Concrete Surface (Curb, Gutter & Sidewalk)

In general the curb, gutter, and sidewalk within the downtown area are in various stages of disrepair. There are a few areas where the curb, gutter, and/or sidewalk have been replaced within the last two years. These areas include several curb returns and curb bulb-outs that have been replaced by the City of Loveland along with areas adjacent to the Lincoln Place along 5th Street.

The majority of the curb & gutter within the study area is separated from the sidewalk with a construction joint. However there are several areas where the sidewalk has been poured monolithically with the curb. It should also be mentioned that several streets have experienced one or more HBP overlays. These overlays have extended over the gutter and up to the curb in several locations. This creates a situation that impedes drainage and results in pavement raveling and potholing, which is prevalent in certain areas.

Storm Drainage

Storm drainage within the study area is collected by inlets on 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th Streets and 4-½ alley. These flows are conveyed to one of three locations. The majority of the storm drainage is conveyed south within storm drains in Lincoln Ave. or Cleveland Ave. to a larger system in 2nd Street. Some of the flows within the northern and western sections of the study area are conveyed to the west and intercept by the Garfield storm drainage system. Lastly there is a small section of 4th Street adjacent to Washington Avenue that flows to the east towards the Greeley-Loveland Canal.

The size and condition of the storm drains and inlet laterals within 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Streets are for the most part unknown. This is mainly because their installation predates historic records. Since they are buried under the concrete roadway there has not been an effort to expose and/or replace them.

Drainage inlets are spaced along the roadways and 4-½ alley to collect surface water and convey it to the storm drains. There are localized drainage problems adjacent to some of the inlets allowing storm water to pool on the roadway surface. These problems are mainly caused by excessive HBP overlays and deteriorated curb & gutter. There were also several surveys from business owners that complained of poor drainage and icing issues during the winter months. Most of these drainage issues were within the alleys and not on the streets.

The other drainage issue within the downtown area is generated from roof drains. Some roof drains have been updated with sidewalk chases that allow the water to flow under the sidewalk and into the street. However many roof drains discharge onto sidewalks, or cause surface water to collect due to poor design or a lack of maintenance.

Water and Sanitary Sewer

Overall the potable water and the sanitary sewer systems within the study area have been determined to be in good shape by the City of Loveland Water and Waste Water Division. The majority of the sanitary sewers are within the alleys and were recently video taped. A few spot repairs to the sanitary sewer along with minor manhole repairs were identified. This work is being performed as part of the City’s regular maintenance program.

In July 1998 the City of Loveland published the Water Distribution System Downtown Study Area Rehabilitation Plan Report. This report was reference as part of the Master Plan effort. Generally speaking desired upgrades to the existing system would include new water meters and/or water boxes, along with upgrades to specific water valves, and fire hydrants. Please refer to the proposed improvement section for a list of recommended upgrades.

Power and Lighting

The City of Loveland has a mixture of overhead and underground electrical lines within the downtown area. Primary lines (7200-V), single and three phase power, transformers, switchgear and vaults are within the alleys. In some alleys, businesses are mainly fed from overhead services. Secondary lines (120/240-V) are mainly overhead and feed the existing lighting within all streets within the study area.

In general the power grid within the downtown area is adequate to meet current demand.

As new development enters the area, power supply is upgraded as needed to meet the projected demand. There is a desire to upgrade certain transformers and power lines if the opportunity presents itself.

Non-City Utilities

Utilities within the downtown area which are not owned by the City of Loveland include Xcel (gas), Comcast (cable TV), Qwest (telephone), and Platte River Power Authority (fiber optics). The majority of these utilities are located within the alleys and not the streets.

They are both underground and overhead. The overhead Comcast and Qwest lines are located on City of Loveland power poles. The Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) fiber optic lines are overhead and run along the west side of Washington Avenue and the south side of 5th Street. The fiber optic line is also on the poles belonging to the City of Loveland.

PROJECT FRAMEWORK

The project framework sets up the basis for the project design, providing a structure for decision making and identifying specific elements that are needed in order to accomplish the project goals. Figures 3-1 and 3-2 graphically illustrate the overall and detailed project framework.

The busy US 287 couplet of Cleveland and Lincoln provides a great opportunity to create gateways into the Downtown core. These streets are heavily influenced by vehicular traffic and are unpleasant at times for pedestrians. Gateways may include landscape enhancements and signage. Several locations for gateways have been identified within the Downtown core and the area of influence.

Three identifiable districts within the core study area include the 4th Street District, Large Event Core and Small Event Core. These can be used individually or combined to accommodate all types and sizes of Downtown events. Currently many events are held in the existing parking lot at 5th Street and Lincoln and in the small plaza in front of the Museum Gallery. This use will continue in the proposed design and allow these sites to be well connected to 4th Street.

Gateway corridor opportunities exist throughout the study area. These corridors provide opportunities for minor enhancements that will transition outlying areas into the Downtown core. No detailed designs will be completed for these areas and they are not included in project construction costs, but they have been identified as locations where the projects design details, site furnishings, etc may be expanded should redevelopment or street projects come about that would allow these opportunities.

Primary pedestrian circulation routes are intended to get people from parking to businesses along 4th and other east-west streets. These routes are located mid-block at alleyways to create a safer more pleasant experience than Cleveland and Lincoln which are dominated by vehicular traffic. Secondary pedestrian circulation will continue to occur along all streets, with Railroad, Cleveland and Lincoln providing support depending on the preferred location of the future parking garage. East-west pedestrian circulation will also occur through the 3 ½ and 4 ½ alleys, heavily influenced by the ultimate location of the parking garage. These connections will primarily convey pedestrians from parking to destinations within a closed block. As there are no signalized crossings at Cleveland or Lincoln at these alleys, crossing between blocks will be discouraged through the use of signage.

The framework is broken down into three categories that describe the types of spaces included in the project, allowing further definition of design applications for each type of area.

Activity nodes are identified at key gathering spots and cultural or historical landmarks.

Some of these nodes are existing and others will be developed as destinations as part of this project. Redevelopment opportunities have been identified at the historic Feed and Grain site, with the potential for this site to provide a strong anchor to the west end of 3rd Street and create a transition between the Downtown core and residential neighborhood to the west. The Depot building is currently occupied by several businesses and will have the potential to grow in importance, particularly if the parking garage site on 5th Street is selected.

Intersection nodes provide the opportunity to attract the attention of drivers and pedestrians, alerting them to the shopping, dining, or entertainment areas that may be accessible throughout the Downtown. These nodes may also provide distinct or unique identity opportunities for each separate east-west street.

DESIGN CHARACTER

The design for improvements in Downtown Loveland are intended to respect Loveland’s history and culture with key design elements that have an artistic flair. highlighting Loveland’s dedication to the arts. The design is based on feedback from the public outreach process, City staff and committee members.

Paving materials include standard concrete, colored concrete, colored-texttured concrete, pavers and cut buff sandstone. The streetscape design includes specialty materials where they have the most impact on users - at intersections and mid-block crossings. The use of higher-maintenance paving materials, or those that are subject to movement

are also focused at these key areas. The main sidewalk thru-way is comprised mostly of standard concrete to minimize maintenance and initial cost and allow construction dollars to be focused on items that have a greater impact on users. Patterns and color selections reflect timeless character that will complement the Downtown architecture.

Buff sandstone is used in paving materials and vertically on stone hoo-doos and signage elements. Concrete scoring will be used to delineate areas that may be used by businesses for outdoor dining or display areas.

Custom design elements such as LED/Glass block panels, kiosks, art-walls and hoo-doos complement the simple palette of paving materials and express Loveland’s artistic heritage.

Lighting will be added throughout the site to include updated street lights, pedestrian lights, wall sconce and downlights, landscape accent lights and in-ground LED lights. Additional electrical connections will be provided to support events of all types and sizes. Color will be used for lighting in key accent areas, further creating an artistic atmosphere.

Street trees have been added on each block to provide shade, seasonal interest and pedestrian scale. A combination of large and small pots is used to create seasonal interest, vertical scale and direct pedestrians at intersections. Hanging pots will provide seasonal color throughout the streetscape. Landscape beds are located within freestanding walls or widened curb areas to lessen foot traffic impacts and reduce maintenance. Landscape materials will be carefully selected to provide maximum visual impact and seasonal interest.

Massing of ornamental grasses will be used to create additional structure to the design.

PARKING

The October 2008 Downtown Loveland Parking Assessment and Recommendations completed by Rich Associates outlines current and future parking demands in detail.

Recommendations for accessible parking spaces and other items should be integrated into any final construction plans for the HIP Streets Master Plan. In order to achieve desired sidewalk widths to better accomodate pedestrians and outdoor business use, modifications to existing angled/angled parking configurations are necessary. Parking losses that arise on street are intended to be offset with potential additional surface parking and a future parking garage. A summary of project parking impacts is illustrated in Figure 3-3.

CIVIL IMPROVEMENTS

Roadway Surface The proposed pavement options that have been discussed for the downtown area are shown on the following pages. If it is determined that the existing concrete pavement within the streets can be used, it makes economical sense to use the “Existing Concrete Overlay” pavement option. It should be noted that existing concrete limits are currently being surveyed. It is anticipated that a determination as to the usability of the existing

concrete will be made prior to the final master plan. With the Existing Concrete Overlay option the existing concrete is utilized as a base course and a new pavement material is placed on top. Under this scenario it would be possible to use most available pavement materials as the finish course including, asphalt, concrete, or pavers.

As part of the Master Plan process the existing concrete pavement throughout 4th Street was cored and surveyed at spot locations. The elevation of the concrete surface (based on spot cores) was compared to the elevation of the building faces and entry ways. Based on this limited information it appears that the existing concrete pavement is salvageable within some areas of 4th Street, and may need to be removed in other areas to maintain positive drainage from the buildings to the roadway. Since the existing concrete pavement varies from 3 to 8-inches thick (average = 5.6”) it may be possible to mill the existing concrete in areas to meet required grades of the new design. Further design is required to determine the extent of concrete pavement that can be salvaged.

Two other pavement options that were explored include full-depth Portland Cement Concrete Pavement (PCCP), often referred to as just concrete pavement, and Hot Bituminous Pavement (HBP), often referred to as asphalt pavement. These two pavement options would require the removal of the existing concrete paving and the scarification and re-compaction of the existing sub-base material. If concrete pavement was used it would be possible to color the concrete and to saw cut patterns into the concrete surface in order to increase the aesthetics of the pavement surface.

Permeable Pavers were explored as a pavement option. This option consists of concrete pavers that are installed on top of a base consisting of varying gradations of aggregates.

The benefit of permeable pavers is that storm water is able to flow through the openings between the concrete pavers and filter through the aggregate base into the natural underground. This process cleans the storm water through the filtration process and is therefore is an environmentally friendly option. The concern of allowing storm water to flow into the sub-base material in the downtown area has to do with increasing the moisture content of the ground. There is a very valid concern that increase moisture within the soils adjacent to existing buildings will negatively affect the structural integrity of the basement walls and building foundations. Most of the buildings within downtown were constructed during the first few decades of the 20 century using locally available available material (which includes soft bricks) that may not react well to changing soil conditions. For this reason it is recommended that an impervious membrane be installed under the aggregate base if permeable pavers are used. The addition of this membrane will reduce, but not eliminate, the filtering/cleaning benefits of the pavement option. It will however require that storm drainage is collected and conveyed out of the downtown area. Permeable pavers may be considered in the final design with the expectation that they may be cost prohibitive to some phases of the project. Use of permeable pavers will be thoroughly evaluated in detailed design phases for appropriateness for specific site conditions.

Destination Downtown: HIP Streets Master Plan

Concrete Surface (Curb, Gutter & Sidewalk) It will be necessary to replace almost all of the curb, gutter, and sidewalk within the study area. The sidewalk will be replaced with new concrete paving, and possibly pavers as explained throughout this master plan. The curb and gutter will be replaced with either a mountable (roll) curb or a standard vertical 6” curb. The benefit to the mountable curb is that it is 4” high and reduces tripping hazards. This curb is recommended on streets that will be closed to vehicles and opened to pedestrians during special events. Examples would be 4th Street between Lincoln and Cleveland and the Museum Plaza along 5th Street.

Storm Drainage Recommended improvements to the storm drain systems include the following: 1. Existing storm pipes should either be replaced using traditional open-cut methods or trenchless technology. Trenchless options include cured in-place pipe lining or pipe bursting.

The deciding factor on the type of installation will be the determination of whether or not the existing concrete pavement can remain.

2. All storm inlets within improved streets should be replaced. These inlets will be similar to the one depicted on the following pages.

3. Whenever possible, sidewalks should be constructed with a 1-2% grade to the street gutter. When adequate cross slope cannot be achieved, storm water should be collected within the walkway and conveyed to the storm drain. Many storm drain inlet/grate options are available for pedestrian areas. Examples of a trench drain to collect smaller flows and an inlet to collect larger flows are shown on the following page.

4. All roof drains should be designed to flow under the sidewalk and into the street gutter through installation of sidewalk chases at each collection point. Any roof drain flowing into the sanitary sewer must be disconnected and adjusted to flow into the storm drain system.

5. Storm drain collection and conveyance systems will need to be installed for new pedestrian areas such as the Museum Plaza, and the Mr. Neat’s and Kitchen Alley.

Water and Sanitary Sewer There are no proposed improvements to existing sanitary sewer system within the study area. It will be necessary to install new sanitary sewer to the Museum Plaza if a public restroom or a water feature is built.

Suggested improvements to the existing water infrastructure in the downtown study area are largely dependant on the type of roadway construction that occurs. If existing roadways are removed and existing water lines become accessible, the City Water Division would take advantage of the opportunity to replace and/or upgrade more of the current system.

However if the existing concrete pavement is not removed, improvements would largely be restricted to replacement of “surface” features such as water meters, water valves, and fire hydrants. All new landscape irrigation would need to have a metered water supply. The City has identified a list of improvements to the water system for both construction scenarios.

A new water service will need to be constructed to the Museum Plaza in order to supply water to public restrooms, drinking fountains, and the water feature.

Power and Lighting Minimum required upgrades to the power system would include installation of new street and pedestrian lighting. Proposed lighting would be fed by a new secondary electrical line that would be installed underground. This line could either be bored or trenched depending on construction phasing. Electrical vaults would be designed along the new secondary power line and will be located at the base of the proposed street lights.

It is the policy of the City’s Power Department to only supply and maintain lighting required for vehicle travel on the roadways. Pedestrian and streetscape lighting will still be designed and installed as part of all new improvements within downtown. However all lighting other than the street lights will be maintained and paid for by entities other than City Power. Consideration will be given to holiday lighting and special events when placing lights and power receptacles.

It is anticipated that the proposed Museum Plaza will require a substantial power and electrical system. This system will be designed as part of the plaza and will be coordinated with the City’s Power Department.

One issue significant to the overall improvements of the power infrastructure in downtown Loveland is the aging services to the individual buildings. Some of these services are aerial and enter the building near the roof lines. As new City lines are placed underground the aerial services create a problem. Individual business services will need to he placed underground as well. A rough estimate to underground a typical service is $1,800, but if a property owner would want to upgrade their service to 600 amps or three phase power then there would be additional costs which could vary from $6,000 to $30,000. This cost is usually the responsibility of the building owner. However if there is a desire to remove power poles in the downtown area (mainly in the alleys) there will be a need to develop a standard for dealing with these services and how these future improvements will be paid for.

Non-City Utilities Xcel has requested that they be kept informed of proposed improvement within the downtown area. They have identified several locations where they would like to upgrade their natural gas distribution system if the existing roadways were being improved. Although the majority of the gas lines are within the alleys, there are still some areas where gas meters are located on building faces and adjacent the building entrances. It may be desirable to relocate some of these gas meters as design on the individual streets progress.

Qwest and Comcast have utilities lines located on City poles that will be removed when City Power is placed underground. As is typical in this situation, both Qwest and Comcast will be responsible for placing their utilities underground.

The Platte River Power Authority (PRPA) fiber optic overhead line will also need to be placed underground if the City removes the power poles that support the fiber optic line. Although PRPA is responsible for undergrounding the fiber optic line, the City has allowed PRPA to share the City’s underground duct bank on past projects.

Other Infrastructure concerns: Environmental An environmental scan was conducted of the downtown study area in an effort to inventory cultural and historical factors, land use, hydrology, geology, biological characteristics, and other environmental factors to identify key elements that are critical to transportation planning in the study corridor. This scan is available for review at the City Public Works Building.

The basic findings of the report concluded that the potential may exist that some historic resources could be affected by the proposed improvements. It is recommended that when specific improvements have been identified and designed, to re-assess the architectural and/or historic resources within the improvement area to assure that resources are not disturbed or mitigated to minimize harm to those resources. Additionally, all construction activities should use best management practices such as implementing a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan and implementing measures that control erosion and sedimentation during construction.

Railroad Improvements The BNSF Railroad operates a track that runs north/south along the western limits of downtown.

There are currently two crossing of these tracks within the study area, 4th Street and 6th Street. Proposed master plan improvements will stop east of the crossing on 6th Street, but 4th Street improvements will include a new crossing of the railroad tracks. There is a current “Quiet Zone Study” being prepared by the City. This study will include recommended improvements to railroad crossings throughout the city, including 4th Street.

It is anticipated that the upgraded crossing at 4th Street will require surface, signal, and gate improvements. All designs in the vicinity of the railroad tracks will need to be performed per BNSF specifications and will need to be approved by the BNSF railroad. A projected cost for surface improvements (steel rails and precast concrete segments) at the railroad crossing was included within the master plan estimate. Cost for signal and gate upgrades were not included with the projecte cost estimate.

CDOT Coordination Lincoln Avenue and Cleveland Avenue are controlled by the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT). It is anticipated that improvements within CDOT’s right-of-way will include curb, gutter, sidewalk, pavement, crosswalks, and traffic signals. These improvements will need to be designed and constructed per CDOT specifications.

Accessibility Handicapped parking will follow guidelines and standards established by the American Disability Act (ADA). Most significant to the downtown redevelopment is the placement of the handicap parking and the space required to meet maximum pavement slopes requirements.

All traffic signals will be upgraded to have audible signals. An enhanced pedestrian signal may be provided at the Rialto mid-block crossing.

ELECTRICAL AND LIGHTING The goal of the exterior lighting program for this project is to provide an environmentally sensitive lighting solution which supports pedestrian safety and visual comfort while enhancing the overall streetscape design and downtown identity. The lighting design will place a priority on nighttime visibility while considering energy reduction and maintenance issues. Lighting control measures (i.e. clock switches, photocells) will ensure that lighting is operating only when it is needed thereby reducing energy costs and increasing the time between maintenance cycles. The lighting equipment aesthetics will be influenced by the architectural context and direction from the overall project design character. Luminaires should be integrated into the streetscape, landscape, or architecture where possible in order to be inconspicuous unless there is an intentional “decorative” purpose.

OUTDOOR LIGHTING FOR URBAN CONTEXT Outdoor lighting for an urban context minimizes light pollution and light trespass, and applies only the right amount of light where it is needed. All exterior area lighting will be shielded or fully shielded, aimed downward wherever possible, and will utilize white light sources. Lighting levels will be optimized and lighting controls will ensure that lighting is turned off in some areas if it is not needed.

DARK SKIES – MINIMIZING LIGHT POLLUTION Light pollution is uncontrolled light that travels into the atmosphere. Unshielded luminaires and excessively high lighting levels are chief causes of light pollution. This light is wasted energy and creates “sky glow” that reduces visibility of stars in the night sky.

FRIENDLY NEIGHBOR – LIMITING LIGHT TRESPASS Light trespass is sometimes referred to as the “light shining in my window”. Usual culprits are unshielded floodlights, high wattage lamps, and other unshielded luminaires that are improperly located and poorly aimed. Light trespass can be minimized with careful equipment selection, proper location, and proper aiming and shielding.

VISIBILITY Lighting quality involves many issues such as minimal glare, contrast, brightness adaptation, and light source color. Good visibility is achieved by controlling glare, balancing brightness of surfaces, and providing clear visual cues.

Glare is usually caused by uncontrolled light emitted from unshielded luminaires. Light source color is another key to nighttime visibility. Reaction time and color recognition at night is enhanced with “white light” sources such as metal halide, LED, fluorescent, and induction lamps.

Lighting to improve safety involves lighting hazards so that they can be seen with sufficient reaction time. Hazards may include vehicle intersections, crosswalks, commercial alleyways, stairs and ramps and other site features that may be perceived as unsafe if not well identified under normal nighttime lighted conditions.

Lighting to improve security involves lighting potentially hazardous locations and situations.

Lighting can also act as a deterrent by increasing the visibility in an area of concern.

KITCHEN ALLEY AND MR. NEAT’S Lighting in the alleys/pass-throughs will provide illumination for pedestrian traffic from the street to the parking area. Lighting equipment options include pole-mounted, buildingmounted, or in-grade luminaires. Lighting may also be used for identification of secondary building entries, wall grazing, wayfinding, aesthetic accents, and vertical stone elements.

Structures will provide opportunity for concealment of pathway luminaires.

MUSEUM PLAZA The Museum Plaza is an exciting space and will have the most complicated program to which the lighting must respond and accommodate. The daily use of the space will be augmented by “special events” and programs. In addition, this will likely evolve into an important node within the larger City context with it’s connection to 4th Street, 5th Street, and Lincoln Avenue. The kit of parts will be similar to the equipment used throughout the other elements of the project including pole-mounted, wall-mounted, in-grade, and landscape luminaires. The entertainment structure will require “specialty” lighting and control for special events.

MAINTENANCE Maintenance intervals are a prime design consideration in any streetscape lighting design. Only “long life” light sources which operate well in low temperatures should be considered for use. These sources include metal halide, LED, induction lamps, and some fluorescent sources. High pressure sodium lamps are a long life source, however the poor color performance of this source is not ideal for an active streetscape environment.

Incandescent or halogen sources are not recommended for any application associated with the streetscape design due to their high energy use and short life.

4TH STREET The lighting of East 4th Street will provide illumination for vehicle traffic and enhance the pleasing nighttime activity. The lighting equipment will be a combination of street lighting and pedestrian lighting assemblies. The street lighting will conform to City standards. The pedestrian lighting assemblies will allow for attachment of banners and may include drip lines for hanging pots. These assemblies may also be incorporated into directional signage or gateway monumentation elements.

Additional opportunities may include lighting for trees in planters and accent lighting associated with planter walls or benches.

Actual sizes, widths, paving patterns and design amenities for both areas are to be coordinated with any proposed adjacent development plans to best meet both City and developer needs. Pass-through goal is to provide safe public pedestrian connectivity from the plaza/parking to 4th Street.

5 May 2009 FIGURE 7-1 - page 7-1

COST ESTIMATE ASSUMPTIONS We assumed that concrete pavement exists within the existing travel way of 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th Streets and that this pavement would be able to remain under the proposed roadways. Concrete pavement removal was added to the estimate for areas outside of the proposed curbs and inside of the existing curbs. This assumption will be updated once additional information on the existing concrete pavement is known.

We assume new concrete pavement within 4th Street from Cleveland to Lincoln, and the City of Loveland default asphalt pavement section (10-inches) everywhere else. This does not necessarily correspond with assumption #1, but it does allow us a little cushion in the asphalt quantity.

We only added cost for the surface crossing of the railroad tracks at 4th, and not the new crossing gates and controller that will probably be required. We did not add any cost for a crossing at 6th Street.

We assumed that 25% of the existing storm pipe will be removed and replaced and that the remaining portion will be lined.

No new water line or sewer line were assumed within 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th streets based on previous discussions with City W/WW staff. We used the “Alternative List (Existing water main to remain)� spreadsheet supplied by the W/WW Division on 12/10/08 for cost within 4th Street.

We did not add cost for any demolition within the proposed Mr. Neats pass-through.
