As part of the Public Process and information gathering, we will work to ensure that
the Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan is integrated with all other previous
and/ or current planning work. In addition, the planning process will integrate the
information with any and all other relevant planning documents, budgets, workplans,
and funding plans utilized by City of Iowa City to facilitate the comprehensive
coordination of direction and prescriptions. The data will also be integrated with
available maps and GIS data.
B. Needs Assessment and Public Involvement
1. Public Process
Our GreenPlay team believes deeply in creating an in-depth, efficient, open, and
citizen-focused community process as part of all public projects. We have developed
a detailed, researched and well-developed public and key stakeholder process
methodology that helps identify all the needs, issues and opportunities for your
community. Additionally, this team will explore knowledge of local issues and
concerns that will assist in producing useful and pertinent community feedback. Our
process will follow a well thought-out involvement process.

Helping You Achieve Your Goals
1
The Project Team will conduct a comprehensive "Information Gathering" scheduled
week of meetings (typically 3-4 days long and packed full) that typically include at
least:
. One goal-setting and Informational fact-finding meeting with the Project
Team, the Advisory Committee, City staff, and the Parks and Recreation
Commission.
. A minimum of three public meetings to provide the opportunity to gather
information on the needs and desires from the citizens.
. Meetings with special focus groups (seniors, athletics, business groups, other
departments, etc. (to be decided) and interviews with other key stakeholders
to provide opportunity for discussion and address pertinent issues.
. A minimum of three meetings with City Project Team and the Advisory
Committee throughout the process.
. A minimum one meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission to
present and discuss progress reports.
. A minimum of two meetings with the City Council.
. One public hearing with the Parks and Recreation Commission at the time of
plan adoption.
. One public hearing with the City Council at the time of adoption of the Parks,
Recreation and Trails Master Plan.
. Our Start-Up process is detailed and outlines with the Project Team all
perceived needs for adequate meetings. Additional meetings can also be
scheduled if need arises per agreement and contractual amendment.
2. Public Assessment and Infonnation Gathering
On most projects we want to obtain information from as many segments of the
community as possible. Our process typically includes meetings and interviews with
users, non-users, staff, key stakeholders, partnership representatives, and alternative
providers, coupled with information gathered from a statistically-valid needs
assessment survey. Through these meetings we focus on obtaining qualitative public
contribution through our successfully proven process methodologies.
3. Needs Assessment - Statistically-Valid Survey
The City and GreenPlay parties anticipate that the City will enter in to a contract with
Leisure Vision to perform various tasks, including the administration of a community
opinion survey. GreenPlay will work with Leisure Vision to integrate the statistically-
valid community opinion survey into the Master Plan, including National
Benchmarking, an Importance/ Satisfaction Matrix and Geocoding of the surveys.
It is anticipated that Leisure Vision will administer a statistically-valid random
sampling Needs Assessment Survey of a minimum of 500 households based on the
estimated population of your community. The survey will be administered by mail
with telephone follow up if needed to obtain desired valid results.
Questions on the survey will be developed by Leisure Vision in partnership with
GreenPlay project staff and the City's Project Team. Ideally, the survey instrument will
be administered at a timeline within the project where the information can best be used
to help break down barriers and build consensus.
4. Demographic and Trends Analysis
We will identify the constituency of the City of Iowa City through a demographic
analysis and market profile. We will compile all information available from previous
planning efforts including the other past and current planning efforts, the U.s. Census
Bureau, ESRI sources, and other national and local sources. We rely heavily on our
state-of-the art technology and use approved methods to evaluate spatial information
and qualitative information, and portray the demographic and related results in ways
that are easy to understand, but highly representative of the actual and projected
trends, growth, and levels of service. We will utilize improved analysis methods to
examine trends, markets, alternative providers, and how they should be used to
forecast future needs.
5. Benchmarking/Comparison of Parks and Recreation Resources
We will compile relevant benchmarking and comparison data of five commonly
accepted key items of importance to the City to compare the parks and recreation
resources for the City of Iowa City with similar municipal departments in the region.
Typical benchmarking comparables include population, operations and/ or capital
improvement budgets, FTE's, land acreages, and indoor facility square footage. Other
factors that could be evaluated in lieu of the typical key items include open space,
recreation/ sports facilities, recreation programs and services, revenue to expense, cost
recovery, usage, and staffing levels. We will work with the City to determine the most
pertinent items on which to base the benchmarking analysis.
. Administrative Benchmarking - We will contact selected agencies and gather
similar administrative data for up to five comparable agencies.
. Survey Respondent Benchmarking- As indicated previously, Leisure Vision
has completed many similar surveys around the u.s. We will compare the
survey responses for your community to those of other select communities.
I Co Facilities Inventory and Assessment
1. Parks and Recreation Resources Inventory
We will work with the City's GIS park inventory database to develop a comprehensive
assessment of each of the City's services including parks, recreation, trails, and special
use facilities to determine current conditions, use patterns, environmental issues, and
economic impacts. In addition, we will include those services provided by other
agencies that may impact the City. The assessment will also include a comparative
analysis to agencies of similar size and density using regionally and nationally
accepted standards. The inventory will identify areas of parkland needs and provide a
verifiable basis for further acquisition opportunities if available along with future
development priorities.
Specific park types will be clearly defined. The textual assessment will include a
comparative analysis to agencies of similar size and density, both regionally and
statewide, using nationally accepted standards and GRASptID technology (details follow).
All mapping of facilities and open spaces will be incorporated into our dynamic digital
database that becomes property of the City upon completion of the project.
The inventory will also include an analysis of best possible providers of community
and recreation services, and recommendations for minimizing duplication and/ or
enhancing possibilities for collaborative partnerships where appropriate. The
inventory will be compiled and analyzed to provide complete information. We can
work with all different types of information formats, and will produce the final
deliverables in both shapefile and textual formats that are dynamic and easily used in
the future.
2. Level of Service Guidelines and Standards Analysis
Once the physical inventory is completed and accurate, we will help analyze the
system with quantitative, qualitative and textual analysis.
.tt;f>>. .". Level of Service Analysis - GRASP' Methodology (Geo-Refrrenced

A 1 . fth ., ks 'l d . ti-IiMN
na YSIS 0 e eXIsting par , open space, tral s an recreation Ir
systems are typically conducted in order to try and determine ;I["'~ ~
how the systems are serving the public. A Level of Service Gto~\t~
(LOS) has been typically defined in master plans as the capacity STANDARDS P.oG~ @
of the various components and facilities that make up the system to meet the needs of
the public. This is often expressed in terms of the size or quantity of a given facility per
unit of population.
In order to create a way to standardize that is accurate, implementable, can be
benchmarked, and is unique to your community's assets, we have adapted and built
upon the previous practices to create a different approach using a "composite values
analysis." The composite values analysis methodology GreenPlay uses is proprietary
and is called the Geo-Referenced Amenities Standards Program (GRASP@). This
methodology builds on the traditional capacity analysis, but can track not only the
quantity (or capacity), but quality of components of an entire system.
As a general summary, the following information gives some specific outcomes of our
GRASP<ID approach.
. While we still use it for comparisons, we are moving away from capacih}
analysis that relies on the broad and often ambiguous categorization of facilities
per thousand and have developed a system that looks at individual components
of service, such as picnic shelters, trailheads, parking, habitat, wetlands,
location-based programs, recreational amenities, etc., and then measures the
service that each component provides. This would have been impossibly
tedious before, but now is easy with our technology.
. We are using GIS to provide a better way of analyzing how any specific
location, home or business is being served by amenities.
. We are bringing the qualitative component into the measurement of service.
Traditional capacity methods of LOS analysis are lacking in this respect.
. We can evaluate the components and easily graphically display them for
decision makers, quickly identifying gaps in service on a neighborhood,
community, regional and/ or community-wide basis. This also allows us to
combine a population density factor into the traditional LOS equations.
. This new methodology allows us to examine Levels of Service in a new and
specific way. Your GRASpID based LOS will not just be based on standards
outlined for non-comparable cities in the 1980' s, but will be specifically
pertinent for your community.
By combining and analyzing the composite values of each component, it is possible to
measure the service provided by a system from a variety of perspectives and for any
given location. The steps for GRASpID analysis typically include:
. Determining the "relevant components" of the resource system for analysis.
. Rating all inventoried components based on GreenPlay and staff rating
consensus using a three-point basis:
3 = exceeds expectations for functionality and/ or service for the next ten years
2 = meet expectations for the next ten years
1 = does not meet expectations
(Sornetimes we also use a zero or negative number to identifij components that are
unsafe, in immediate need of repair or replacement, or do not function as intended)
. Including modifiers for the ratings, for items like access, adjacency to restrooms
or shade, condition, quality, location, ambience, etc., to be determined)
. Identifying the key issues of the plan based on the public process, needs
assessment, alternative providers, demographics and trends analysis
. Creating analysis tools, spreadsheets, resource maps and analysis maps called
"Perspectives" to examine each of the key issues and the system overall
. Looking at service of groupings of components from various perspectives (local
use, regional use, active, passive, natural, etc.)
. Refining capacity and LOS standards that are appropriate for your community.
. Analyze the system in relationship to quality, availability, access (walk-ability,
barrier analysis and transportation), and geographic distribution of services.
. Refining the resource classification system and resource development
guidelines.

ACCESS TO INDOOR AQUATICS
The GRASpID Methodology for Standards and Level-of Service Analysis is just one tool
in the planning process, but it gives invaluable decision making information in digital
and graphic form for determining appropriate standards, priorities, resource
allocation, budgets, and work plans. This valuable tool is currently being utilized by
agencies nationally and is available only from the GreenPlay team, at a cost similar
to what other teams charge for traditional analysis.
D. Recreation Programs and Services Inventory and SWOT Analysis
We will provide an inventory and assessment of the City's current and potential future
level of recreation programs and services. An analysis of the best possible providers of
programs and services will be developed to discern possible competition or
duplication of services through other public and private program providers, along
with recommendations for minimizing duplication and/ or enhancing possibilities for
collaborative partnerships where appropriate. We will examine and review the current
policies, services, participation levels, operations and structure and identify
opportunities as well as deficiencies for improvements and future needs. We will
recommend how the Department could be organized to achieve maximum efficiency
and the successful implementation of the Master Plan as well as develop an
organization chart and staffing requirements to meet the current and long range needs.
The Consultant Team will also address and make recommendations regarding the park
facilities needs.
To develop a short term and long term strategy for the future planning of facilities and
the provision of programs and services we will conduct a SWOT Analysis of the
organization. A SWOT Analysis is an effective and realistic way of identifying the
market Strengths and internal and external Weaknesses, and of examining the
Opportunities and Threats faced by the organization in the provision of parks,
recreation and open space facilities and services.
I E. Development of Guidelines and Standards, and Recommendations
1. Guidelines and Standards for Park, Recreation and Trails
It is important for the City to have guidelines in place to help guide future
development. As part of the Master Planning process, the work will entail an
overview for policy and management of priority.guidelines needed as determined by
the assessment during previous tasks. We will work with the City to develop goals,
policies, ordinance language and a set of recommendations for local standards for
parks, open space, trails, recreation facilities, recreation programming and services.
2. Ranking and Prioritizing Demand and Opportunities
GreenPlay has experience in designing and implementing decision-making and
prioritization models. We incorporate the inventories, GRASp<ID LOS methodology and
needs assessment findings into mapping and tabular information that become
management tools that will provide an accurate assessment of the opportunities and
direction to address the current and future needs based on realistic measures. The
methodologies provide easily understood information that help guide staff and the
officials in decision making from this point forward. In addition, the decided upon
parameters become easily explainable to the public, providing presentations and
justification as needed for managing the lands and services.
3. Identification of Development Improvements and Land Acquisitions
It is important to evaluate opportunities for property acquisition, preservation,
conservation and potential development as they relate to the anticipated growth and
subsequent recreational needs of the community. We will identify the potential use of
currently developed and undeveloped agency properties. Additionally, we'll identify
gaps in the service, connectivity and future developments with the prospects for the
creation of greenways to establish appropriate linkages through the community.
Suggestions will also be developed for the acquisition and renovation of properties
that would satisfy the recommendations developed for the Master Plan. Potential
partnerships will also be identified to develop key relationships for future land and
facility development and improvements to the overall benefit of the community.
4. Open Space Plan and Ordinance Review
The GreenPlay Team will conduct a review of the existing Neighborhood Open Space
Plan and Ordinance to update the document to fit the current needs specific to the
community and to insure they meet the recognized best practices of the parks and
recreation field.
F. Financial Resources and Expenditure Analysis
We will conduct an analysis of the existing and potential budget procedures, resources,
capital improvement plans, cost recovery, traditional and alternative funding, pricing
methodology, user fees and, if appropriate, potential fee adjustments or increases.
~
1. Resource Allocation, Pricing, and Cost Recovery - Important
Threshold Factors
GreenPlay has established
and improved the "Pyramid"
methodologies for helping agencies create
an overall philosophy and methodology
for resource allocation, pricing programs
and evaluating cost recovery. We are
currently training agencies nationwide and
at conferences in the implementation and
use of this fairly-straightforward but
innovative methodology. This method is
invaluable for making tough resource
allocation decisions, and creating pricing and cost recovery strategies. These strategies
need to be equitable, defensible, implementable at all levels, and should be based on
the VALUE of the services to the community, not just a comparative evaluation of
"what has been done before" or "what others are doing." It is an extension of
"activity-based costing," but takes the analysis further into assimilating the values
accepted and defined by your community, along with elected and appointed officials.
As part of this project, we will explain and document the methodology, and evaluate
your agency's current and potential methods for fair pricing that helps with increased
cost recovery using this method.

In addition, we will evaluate and identify potential sources of traditional and
alternative funding, including identification of grant opportunities and other resources
that may eventually support the implementation of the objectives identified in the
Master Plan.
~
2. Alternative Funding and Partnerships
On many similar projects, we are seeing a trend for agencies to look
outside the traditional funding mechanisms towards the use of
partnerships to fund improvements and future programming and use of public spaces.
GreenPlay has extensive experience in looking at options for alternative funding.
Alternative Funding typically includes grants, donor programs and/ or partnerships.
This may include partnerships with other business, governmental (federal, state,
school, nearby agencies, etc.), and/ or non-profit agencies, along with creation of
policies and evaluation processes to help determine if they might be a "good fit." The
GreenPlay Team will identify key partners in the area that are identified through this
planning process, and analyze what partnerships could be viable for the organization.
· The team will identify key partners in the area that are identified through this
planning process, and analyze those potentially viable community partnerships
for the City of Iowa City.
· The team will identify strategies to address Public and Private Partnership
opportunities, facilitate the partnerships and minimize risk.
· The team will provide recommendations and sample documents that can be
utilized to formulate a Partnership Policy that can be approved and
implemented to help minimize risk and streamline the partnership
opportunities.
3. Summary of Financial Analysis
Specifically for this project, we will include financial analysis and recommendations
related to:
· Cost projections and analysis associated with cost recovery for operations,
staffing, and maintenance.
· Costs associated with maintaining the current Level of Service (LOS), and the
costs associated with providing the recommended LOS.
· Costs and revenues related to the capital funding available from fees, and
recommendations for future fees.
· An analysis of all types of user fees (services, impact, rentals, programs, etc.)
· Specific identification of the total amount of capital funds projected to be
generated under the LOS scenarios.
· Traditional and alternative funding sources and mechanisms that can help
augment the funding available to meet future needs as outlined in the Parks,
Recreation and Trails Master Plan.
I G. Findings Compilation
l
Upon completion of the principal project tasks we will present the draft "Findings
Compilation" documents, which presents a summary of all information gathered thus
far, including the complete inventory of the City of Iowa City's recreational resources,
including parks, trails, facilities, and relevant components, along with the data
pertaining to the current Level of Service analysis. This trip typically includes
meetings with the Master Plan project team, key stakeholders and usually a public
meeting with the appointed and/ or elected officials. The goal of these meetings is to
come to consensus on the accuracy of the Findings, to get approval of the results so far,
and identify any additional information that should be considered for analysis and
drafting of recommendations.
I H. Recommendations and Action Plans
We will draft recommendations and an Action Plan that includes the findings and
analysis of the previous steps and tasks into one cohesive, well-written and usable
draft document for review, input, and final approval by the City. These
recommendations can be used for setting goals and objectives for the management,
improvement, expansion or elimination of the existing recreational resources in the
City. The recommendations will be based on the analysis of the community
demographics of the past, present and future, facility utilization data, and an inventory
and analysis other similar facilities owned and operated by private and nonprofit
organizations. In addition, we will utilize findings from the GRAS}J@ Methodology
Level of Service Analysis, needs assessment findings, identified demands and trends;
and our experience to develop a variety of decision making criteria matrices to
evaluate the opportunities and constraints within the context of the City of Iowa City.
We will:
. Collect, analyze, and digitally synthesize demographic information.
. Collect and analyze information on participation, needs and desires, operations,
programming and land use trends, and Level of Service recommendations.
. Provide usable and workable definitions, standards, and recommendations for
designated parks and recreational resources.
. Develop prioritized recommendations for the development, maintenance, and
renovation of existing park and recreation facilities.
. Recommend policy changes to eliminate programming barriers and improve
participation.
. Address issues, strategies, priorities, and budget analysis for the short term and
long-term planning to improve future parks, trails, and recreation services.
I I. Final Plan Recommendations, Presentations, and Deliverables
Members of our GreenPlay Team have a firm and deep understanding relative to the
present and future planning, economic, and political issues facing communities and
parks and recreation departments. We understand that this Master Plan is intended as
a living document that can change as conditions in the City of Iowa City change. We
will draft a Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan that includes the findings and
analysis of the previous steps and tasks into one cohesive, well-written, and usable
document for review.
We realize that for any Master Plan to be considered successful, it must communicate
well the ideas and concepts of the plan, and be useful and implementable. We at
GreenPlay pride ourselves on creating well-written, concise, and understandable
documents that will get used. For this project we will provide these deliverables:
. A detailed Work Plan, within 10 days of award and contract
· Summary and database of existing conditions, inventories, and analysis
. Summary notes and memos pertaining to findings of the planning process
. A product of the Statistically-Valid Needs Assessment Survey for future use
by the City.
. Facilitation materials for all public workshop meetings with the Parks and
Recreation Commission.
. Power Point presentations of the major findings and recommendations.
. All spatial information in a format readable by the City of Iowa City's GIS
software (including the available free II ArcView" reader software) that will be
useful for staff throughout the life of the plan and in the future. Final maps will
be produced in replicable .PDF and color poster formats. All materials will be
digitally integrated with GIS formats coordinated with the City's formats and
adaptable to print and website applications.
. We will provide twenty-five (25) formatted 8-1/2" x 11" bound print copies of
the Draft Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan in hardcopy.
. After final editing, we will provide twenty-five (25) formatted 8-1/2" x 11"
bound color print copies of the Final Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan,
and one (1) unbound 8-1/2" x 11" black and white and one (1) unbound 8-
1/2" x 11" color reproducible hard copy of the document for distribution, plus
two (2) electronic version in a format consistent with the City's software.
. After final editing, we will provide fifteen (15) formatted 8-1/2" x 11" bound
color print copies of the Final Parks, Recreation and Trails Executive
Summary, and one (1) unbound 8-1/2" x 11" black and white and one (1)
unbound 8-1/2" x 11" color reproducible hard copy of the document for
distribution, plus two (2) electronic version in a format consistent with the
City's software.
. We will also provide one (1) set of the Final Parks, Recreation and Trails
Master Plan Maps that includes the goals, objectives and policies of the Master
Plan in a color poster format (24" x 36").
. Additional print copies of the Master Plan and Executive Summary documents
are available at the prevailing printing rates at the time of request.
We will present the Draft Parks, Recreation and Trails Master Plan, which typically
includes meetings and presentation of all draft analysis, the standards analysis (see
GRASpID section), draft recommendations, Action Plan strategies to the Project
Management Team and to the Parks and Recreation Commission at a general public
meeting, and to the City Council for review and comment. We will provide specific
concepts and maps to share. This allows the Commission members, the Council
members, and the public to question and react to the plan.
Following the draft review process and final editing we will present the final
document to the Staff and City Council for further comment. The Final Parks,
Recreation and Trails Master Plan will then be presented to the City Council for
adoption.
At the end of each meeting, we provide summarized meeting notes, as well as
revisions to the materials being presented. This process synthesizes all concerns of
both the desires of the City and the community into a plan that truly reflects what they
envision as successful.
Pro .ected Pro .ect Schedule
Upon award of the project in July 2007 we will have the Parks, Recreation and Trails
Master Plan completed within seven (7) months, with the final plan completed in
February 2008. We can have our team members available to complete the project as
proposed. Final length of project is primarily determined by the time needed to carry
out the number of desired public meetings, presentations, and the time for approvals
within the governing structure (all to be finalized during discussions during Start-Up).
Unlike some firms, while we outline our process and suggested time line for you here,
we know that we need to talk further with you to completely understand your public
notification, staff resource availability and approval channels. Weare very flexible and
efficient, and will conduct and attend the necessary number of meetings we need to in
order to help you get this project done in a way that works specifically for your
agency. We have never completed a project late due to internal GreenPlay workloads.

CDBG Economic Development Funding Recommendation
Discerning Eye, Inc.
To:
From:
Re:
The City Council Economic Development Committee reviewed Discerning Eye's economic
development application during their May 29 and June 21 meetings. Discerning Eye is a full
service optical store that provides eyewear and lenses in a downtown retail store at 119 E.
Washington Street. In addition to frames, the store also carries clothing accessories,
purses and jewelry. The project includes the retention of one full time optician. The
retained position is paid above the CEBA wage threshold and is available to an employee
with a high school diploma. CDBG funds will be used for working capital.
The committee recommended Discerning Eye's request for $35,000 in funds. The loan will
be for 7 years at an interest rate of 3.2%. Interest payments will be due monthly, however
1/7 of the principal amount will be due each December, in order to align the principal
payment schedule with their highest sales month. The committee recommended this
project without security due to high owner commitment to the business, a strong
recommendation from their commercial lender and the owner's history of paying the
obligations entered.
The resolution approving the CDBG funds and the financing terms for the business are on
the July 10 Council agenda for your consideration. If you have questions regarding this
project or need additional information please contact me at 356-5244. A copy of the
submitted application is available in the May 29 City Council Economic Development
Committee packet. The application as well as the minutes from the May 29 and June 21
meetings can be found online at http://www.icgov.org/boardminutes.asp?ID=37.

Re:
Recently you received a letter from the Thunderhead Alliance expressing a concern about the
Complete Streets Resolution adopted by the City Council in April 2007. The Thunderhead
Alliance is a national coalition of bicycle and pedestrian advocacy organizations; Iowa's member
organization is the Iowa Bicycle Coalition. The concern expressed by the Thunderhead Alliance
is that the resolution does not clearly state that the decision to not include pedestrian, bicycle or
public transit facilities in a public project is determined by the City Councilor a senior staff
member.
During conversation about the Complete Streets Resolution, we discussed that the City Council
always has the ability to fund bicycle, pedestrian and public transit projects, even if the result is
that the cost of a road project increases by more than 20%. The minimum threshold of 20% of
project cost is the point at which staff would bring up the question of the cost of the bicycle,
pedestrian and/or transit facility. The 20% threshold is consistent with federal guidance for the
point at which the cost of a pedestrian or bicycle facility may be considered to be excessive.
We have proposed alternative language in the Complete Streets Resolution (attached) making it
clear that the authority to not include the bicycle, pedestrian or transit facilities in the road
project due to cost rests with the City Council. Consistent with discussions of other capital
projects, this decision could occur during the budget and capital improvements program
approval process, at a work session discussing the project, or when project plans and
specifications are being reviewed and approved. Amending the resolution as suggested should
not change actual practice, but may make it more clear to outside parties not participating in the
discussion what the intent of the resolution is.

Residents on Kimball Road between N. Governor Street and Whiting Avenue
Re: Survey results of potential traffic calming on Kimball Road
Dear Resident:
The City has been working with your neighborhood to develop a traffic calming
project in response to neighborhood concerns about traffic speeds on Kimball
Road between N. Governor Street and Whiting Avenue. A survey of the affected
residents of Kimball Road was conducted. The response to the survey was 10 in
favor and 4 opposed to the speed humps. 12 survey postcards were not
returned. That is a 72% majority in favor, which is above the 60% majority
required by the City's adopted Traffic Calming Program.
After a public comment period, final approval will be considered at the July 10,
2007 City Council formal meeting. If approved, the speed humps will be installed
as shown on the attached diagram.
If the City Council approves the project, the speed humps will be constructed
later this summer or early fall. Approximately one year after installation, we will
complete a follow-up traffic study and another neighborhood survey. This would
determine if you feel the speed humps have been effective and if the
neighborhood wishes to keep them in place.
If you have any comments or questions, please contact me at 356-5254 or anissa-
gerard@iowa-city.org .

Re: Item for July 10, 2007 City Council formal meeting: Proposed traffic calming on Kimball
Road
The residents in the 500-700 block of Kimball Road requested to be considered for the City's
Traffic Calming Program. The neighborhood has successfully completed the required steps
outlined by City Council, 85th percentile speeds were between 28.1 and 44.6 mph and volumes
were between 1200-1400 vehicles per day.
One of the last required steps is to post signs in the neighborhood soliciting public comments.
Comments were also requested from City of Iowa City Police, Fire, Transit and Streets
Departments and Johnson County Ambulance Service.
I have received four comments from residents that live on Whiting Avenue and Ridge Road who
requested I forward their opinions. All of these residents are not in favor of the proposed speed
humps. They claim there is no one speeding and the speed humps are uncomfortable to drive
over.
Transit has commented "We would rather not have speed bumps on a bus route, but we can
live with it if that is what the neighborhood wants. We have to go pretty slow through that
neighborhood anyway due to the narrow street and curves". All emergency services and streets
departments have not commented about this project.
The attached resolution, if approved, will allow staff to proceed with the installation of speed
humps on the 500-700 block of Kimball Road.

Members of the City Council
Iowa City, Iowa
Re: Proposed Traffic Calming on Kimball Road
Dear Members,
My wife and I have lived in the Whiting Addition at the above address for over 50 years and I
have a very active interest in Iowa City. My first activity was suggesting underground wiring for
the city. I was then chairman ofa committee of the Iowa City Engineers Club, whose report was
adopted by the club and several years later by the city for new developments. Later I proposed
that Dodge and Governor be made a one-way pair. Shortly after that Dr. Larry Sieck became
Iowa City first Traffic Engineer. I took him on a tour of the streets. Some time later the Market
Jefferson pair change was followed by the Dodge Governor pair.
Later I was appointed to the Planning and Zoning Commission, serving for nine years with four
as chairman. This was during part of the Urban Renewal years oflowa City. There was a period
on the Regional Planning Commission and also on a Transportation Committee of it.
Last week we noticed signs along Kimball Road regarding traffic calming to be considered soon
by the City Council. A resident of the section of Kimball Road involved in the proposal provided
me with a copy of the material that had been circulated to the residents in that section. The
resident also told that there had been a "vote" about the proposal.
The fact is that Kimball Road is used by many residents of the Whiting A venue area and is also
used for bus service. In fact a majority of the residents polled would probably encounter fewer of
the bumps than others who were not polled.
As far as I am concerned the traffic moves on Kimball Road with far less problems than on many
streets in Iowa City.
While it might be fair to poll only contiguous residents on a cul-de-sac, it definitely is not fair
when the street is a collector street used by other residents. We need to make it easier to get from
place to place in Iowa City. In my opinion there is a need for making travel within the city more
convenient, not less.

Subject: Traffic Calming on Kimball Road -- please support!
Dear City Council:
We are writing to express our strong support for the traffic calming measures on Kimball Road. Since
we moved there in 2000, we have been shocked at the speeds people use on this road, especially given
that it has no sidewalk on one side and no parking buffer on the other. There are many children walking
to and from Shimek on this street and it is disconcerting to be walking with our children and have folks
speed by.
We voted for traffic calming as did 71 % of the neighborhood and we encourage council support of this
action.

Speed Bumps on Kimball Road
To Whom It May Concern:
I wants to share my concerns about the proposal to place speed bumps on Kimball Road. My
primary concern is that the last time I checked this section of road is part of the city
bus route six days a week. Placing speed bumps in the middle of the street could cause
several problems that could lead to tax payers having to spend more money. First there
could be added damage to the city buses itself which would need repair. The city bus
routes are also the first to be plowed during the heavy snow season.
No doubt either the plows will be destroying the speed bumps or the speed bumps will be
damaging the plows. In either case the tax payers get to spend even more money for this
action.
If you plan to grant this request for "community based speed bumps" I request that you
first remove the city bus route from Kimball to reduce the traffic terror these
individuals must be experiencing by having these large city buses going through their
neighborhood twice an hour for six days a week. You could have the bus route turn right
off Caroline onto Buresh and bring it back onto prairie Du Chien at St. Annes Drive. This
would allow the city bus service to serve more homes and remove this city instituted
traffic from Kimball Road.
since the rash of request for "community based speed bumps" started with the goal of
trying and stop indiviudals who don't live in a community from driving on the public
streets in that community the city leadership has been forced to deal with the competing
issues. One group of tax payers want adequate roads to get around the city in a timely
manner while another group of tax payers want to make sure the roads that go by their
house are not part of that plan. However I believe it would be bad policy to start
approving placing community based speed bumps on the city bus route.

Subject: July 10,2007 Meeting Agenda Item 13 Kimball Road
This correspondence will become a public record.
Iowa City Council Members,
My name is Barb McFarland and I have lived in Iowa City on Whiting Avenue for 16 years. There are signs
posted on Kimball Road, which is adjacent to Whiting Avenue, stating that speed humps are to be installed upon
City Council approval. As a resident of this neighborhood I would like to express my opinion on this matter due to
the fact that since I do not live on Kimball Road I was not able to have any input into their decision.
If you are not familiar with Kimball Road it is very narrow, has numerous curves and a very steep hill which is
approximately three blocks long and on a curve. The sidewalk is right next to the road as are many utility poles.
As long as I have lived and utilized Kimball Road as a route to my residence, I have not seen any undue problems
with speeding or accidents, perhaps there are statistics. pertaining to the number of accidents and speeding
tickets given on Kimball Road.
I do not know if winter weather driving conditions were taken into consideration. There are times in the winter
when it is hard enough to drive up Kimball Road without an added obstacle such as speed humps to deal with.
feel it would make it much more difficult to maneuver on that road in slick conditions with speed humps.
I know how people drive around City High with the speed humps in that area, they tend to go over to the edge by
the curb to avoid having to go directly over the center of the hump with all four tires. With Kimball Road being so
narrow and how the sidewalk and the utility poles are situated, along with the blind curves of the road, I feel that
speed humps will cause more dangers than they are worth with drivers trying to avoid going over the humps.
I think other options need to be explored. There is a lot of cut through traffic going to and from Dubuque Street
and North Dodge Street during the rush hours. Perhaps if there were Police presence during that time it would
slow the drivers down. If some of the speeders were ticketed regularly that would be helpful. Perhaps more
caution signs would be beneficial, something with a flashing light to remind drivers of the pedestrian cross walks,
the blind curves with driveways, and the speed limit.
I understand that the City Transit is not in favor of this measure. I also wonder what the opinion for the bus
drivers of the school district might be as they have buses for Shimek Elementary and Southeast Jr. High traveling
on Kimball Road during the school year.
I would like to urge you to vote against the addition of speed humps on Kimball Road with the stipulation of
exploring other safer options.
Thank you,
Barb McFarland
