Preliminary Draft - Subject to Approval MINUTES JCCOG REGIONAL TRAILS AND BICYCLING COMMITTEE TUESDAY, AUGUST 14, 2007 IOWA CITY - CITY HALL LOBBY CONFERENCE ROOM MEMBERS PRESENT: Sherri Proud, Greg Kovaciny, Terry Dahms, Michelle Ribble, Terry Trueblood, Sally Stutsman MEMBERS ABSENT: Shelly Simpson, Erling Anderson, Karin Dils OTHERS PRESENT: Del Holland, Greg Parker, Joe Bolkcom STAFF PRESENT: Kent Ralston, Darian Nagle-Gamm CALL TO ORDER Ralston called the meeting to order at 4:01 pm APPROVAL OF MINUTES FROM THE MARCH 27'h, 2007 MEETING Motion to approve minutes was made by Trueblood, seconded by Proud. Motion passed with unanimous vote. PUBLIC DISCUSSION Ralston asked for public input for items not on the agenda. The committee offered no items. AGENDA ITEM #3: DISCUSSION ON IDENTIFYING A BICYCLE ROUTE FROM CREEKSIDE PARK TO DOWNTOWN IOWA CITY Ralston stated that at the previous meeting, the committee began to discussing how to safely route bicyclists from Creekside Park to downtown Iowa City at the request of Dee Vanderhoef, and that previously the committee discussed whether the issue should be taken up by RTBC as it is Iowa City specific. Ralston stated he discussed the issue with John Yapp and Iowa City planning staff, that the issue would be well suited for Central Planning District session this fall and that the RTBC need not take it up as it will be revisited at that time. However, Ralston provided a handout detailing four different strategies for bicycle accommodation. Ralston stated that he will provide the same handout during the Central Planning District session and wanted feedback from the committee on the information to be distributed. Ralston also invited the group to attend the Central Planning session and provide recommendations. Kovaciny asked if the descriptions of bicycle accommodation strategies had been excerpted from national guidelines. Ralston responded that it was a mixture of national and other guidelines. Dahms suggested that we include local pictures that exemplify the different types of bicycle accommodations. Dahms also suggested that the pros and cons for novice versus experienced riders be outlined for each type of bicycle accommodation. Proud requested that lane-widths be addressed. Ralston noted that he will integrate feedback into his presentation for this fall's Central Planning District session. AGENDA ITEM #4: DISCUSSION OF WILLOW CREEK TRAIL / HIGHWAY 218 PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL Ralston described the location of a proposed extension of the Willow Creek trail and development of a pedestrian tunnel under Hwy 218 connecting Hunter's Run Park on the west side of Hwy 218 to the existing Willow Creek trail on the east side. Ralston reviewed three options: 1) Create raised perforated floor in existing tunnel so it can accommodate pedestrian use and 'normal' storm water conditions with water flowing underneath perforated decking. In high-flow JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee August14,2007 Page 2 events, storm water would flow both below and above the decking. Pedestrians would not be able to use during high-flow events. Federal funding not available due to not meeting AASHTO standards for width/height. Cost estimate: $450,000. Kovaciny inquired how much the raised floor would reduce headroom. Ralston estimated that as little as a foot could be used for the decking, leaving a 7.5' clearance. Ralston mentioned that there are existing tunnels in the area with lower clearance 2) Construct a new tunnel to accommodate pedestrians parallel to the existing storm water culvert standards. Federal funds could be used. Cost estimate: $2,500,000. Stutsman inquired how much of the cost could be covered by grant money. Ralston stated that if the project became fully funded at 80%, the cost would be comparable to option #1. 3) Install a separate pipe to manage storm water parallel to the existing culvert. The pipe itself would manage the storm water and the space in the tunnel could be maximized for pedestrians and cyclists. The tunnel would only be used for large storm water events. This project could not be federally funded due to AASHTO standards. Cost estimate: $580,000. Trueblood mentioned that this is high on the priority list of the parks and recreation department due to the growth on the west side of Hwy 218. Ralston said that the project would alleviate a real barrier for pedestrians and cyclists. Ribble asked what kind of experience pedestrians and cyclists have with tunnels. Ralston responded that he had not heard any negative feedback regarding tunnels in the area except for the Iowa Ave tunnel at Riverside St due to the low clearance. Trueblood inquired about the length of the pedestrian trail tunnel under 1-80 in Coralville. Ralston responded that the proposed tunnel is much longer than under 1-80. Ribble inquired if water was ever a significant issue at the proposed tunnel site. Ralston replied he did not think so. Trueblood inquired if an overpass was considered. Ralston responded it had not. Stutsman inquired if there would be safety features in the tunnel due to length. Ralston responded there would be lighting and possibly emergency phones. Proud noted that the tunnel could be spruced up by artists from West High. Trueblood stated that because of the length of the tunnel, there may be a perceived safety issue. Trueblood stated he would prefer a new larger tunnel or an overpass. Ralston stated that he could come back with an overpass cost option. Stutsman agreed that she would like to see one. Ralston asked if the committee would like to table the discussion until he can bring the overpass information. The committee agreed. AGENDA ITEM #5: UDPATE ON IOWA CITY'S BICYCLE FRIENDLY COMMUNITIES (BFC) APPLICATION Ralston stated that JCCOG has finished the BFC application and is anticipating receiving the status of the application during the next month or two. Proud stated that she took the BFC application to Parks and Recreation department in Coralville and they decided to go forward with an application for BFC status. Holland inquired if letters of support would be helpful to include with the application. Ralston noted that the application is due August 2iti and that he would include the letters with the BFC application. AGENDA ITEM #6: UPDATE ON SAFE ROUTES TO SCHOOLS (SRTS) GRANT APPLICATION Ralston explained that SRTS is federal program that provides grant money for infrastructure and non- infrastructure to help school children walk or bike to school more safely. Ralston stated that JCCOG will assist communities in data collection and expertise. Ralston has yet to hear back from Iowa City School District but is working with Clear Creek Amana. Ralston extended assistance to other communities. JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee August 14, 2007 Page 3 AGENDA ITEM: #7 UPDATE ON BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN COUNTS FOR THE REGIONAL TRAILS SYSTEM Ralston stated that JCCOG has been actively collecting trail user counts using an infrared counter. Ralston noted that the counter is very useful as data can be collected twenty-four hours a day; however it cannot differentiate between a pedestrian and a cyclist. Kovaciny inquired whether the counter could provide hourly data. Ralston responded that it could. Ralston directed the group towards the memo that includes all trail user counts gathered in 2007. Ralston stated that additional requests for trail user counts would be welcomed. Greg Parker left at 4:55pm AGENDA ITEM: #8 UPDATE ON STATE DRIVERS EDUCATION CURRICULUM Ralston stated that Iowa law now requires that driver's education curriculum includes information regarding sharing the road with bicyclists. Ralston offered a copy of a PowerPoint presentation and the new drivers' education manual to the group. Kovaciny requested a copy of the PowerPoint. AGENDA ITEM: #9 DISCUSSION OF FUTURE AGENDA ITEMS Ralston asked if the committee had any ideas for future direction of the RTBC or agenda items for discussion. Trueblood asked if the committee would be interested in discussion of a pedestrian bridge from Rocky Shore Drive to the peninsula. Ralston responded that if we support projects from one community, we should support projects from all communities. Trueblood mentioned that in the future the group could potentially prioritize projects the committee believes are most important. Ralston asked the committee to give the issue some thought to revisit at the next meeting. AGENDA ITEM: #10 OTHER BUSINESS Ralston stated that the JCCOG Surface Transportation (STP) and Transportation Enhancement (TE) grant applications will be provided to the JCCOG TTAC at their next meeting. Ralston said that the applications will be brought to RTBC for scoring and recommendations at the next meeting. Ralston noted that Surface Transportation funds could be used for roads or trails, however, the Transportation Enhancement funds can only be used for something other than roads. Dahms argued that the scoring might be ignoring shifting traffic patterns caused by transportation changes. Ralston said that if Dahms had a suggestion for a specific change in criteria then the item could be put on the TTAC agenda for discussion. Ralston reviewed a letter that Karen Thielman sent to JCCOG. Ralston explained that she congratulated the communities for their combined efforts in building the trail system, but said that bicyclists using them are not announcing when they are passing and pedestrians are not always being courteous and moving out of the way, suggesting that trail etiquette signs be posted. Ralston asked the committee their thoughts on the prospect. Proud argued that too many signs clutter the trails and she would be interested in finding other avenues for educating the public. Trueblood stated that signs are often ignored, but sometimes they are important from a liability standpoint. Ralston stated that the trails map does include etiquette information and that JCCOG could explore other options for communicating etiquette information. Ralston stated that he would put together some information on what types of communication JCCOG is able to provide at the next meeting.

Date: October 23, 2007 To: Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee From: Kent Ralston; Assistant Transportation Planner Re: October 30th agenda Items Agenda Item #3: Discussion of Hunters Run Park pedestrian tunnel At the August 14, 2007 Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee meeting, the committee reviewed several available options to connect the Willow Creek Trail from its current terminus on the east side of Highway 218 to Hunters Run Park on the west side of Highway 218. The options included the use of an existing box culvert under Highway 218 for pedestrian use and the construction of a new pedestrian tunnel under Highway 218. At the August 14th meeting, the committee asked that staff also provide a rough cost estimate for a pedestrian bridge to take the Willow Creek Trail over Highway 218. Based on the cost of other pedestrian bridges, rough cost estimates indicate that a stand-alone pedestrian bridge at this location would cost over $3,000,000. This estimate includes paving approaches to the bridge, constructing necessary Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant ramps on either side of the bridge, and various safety accommodations including proper lighting and signage. The new structure would, by law, meet American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines and therefore be eligible for federal funding. I have attached a memo outlining several available options and cost estimates to connect Hunter's Run Park with the existing Willow Creek Trail. Please be prepared to discuss the available alternatives and make a recommendation to the City of Iowa City on a strategy to pursue. I will forward the RTBC recommendation to the Iowa City Parks and Recreation Director, Transportation Planner, and City Engineer. Agenda Item #4: Review of JCCOG Transportation Enhancement (TE) funding applications Applications for FY09-10 JCCOG-allocated Surface Transportation Program (STP) and Transportation Enhancement (TE) funds have been received. Our targets for the FY09-10 funding cycle are $2,067,000 in STP funds and $190,870 in TE funds. Please be prepared to discuss and make a funding recommendation on JCCOG-allocated TE funding. Your recommendation will be forwarded to the Transportation Technical Advisory Committee on November 15th for discussion, along with staff scores and ran kings according to the adopted scoring criteria. Transportation Enhancement funding applications are attached. An August 29, 2007 memo from John Yapp outlining the process by which funds are distributed is also attached. Agenda Item #5: Update on Iowa City's Bicycle Friendly Communities application Per Steve Atkins request, JCCOG staff has completed the League of American Bicyclists Bicxcle Friendly Communities (BFC) Application on behalf of the City of Iowa City. On September 26t I received correspondence indicating that while Iowa City did not receive a BFC designation this year, we did receive 1 of 8 'honorable mentions' given to communities across the nation. The correspondence that I received indicates that 'honorable mentions' were only given to municipalities that are on the cusp of receiving a designation. We can expect to get feedback from the League of American Bicylists indicating 2 areas of Iowa City's application that may need to be addressed. This feedback will be helpful in future applications by Iowa City or other JCCOG - member cities. I have included the correspondence in your packet for review. Agenda Item #6: Update on Safe Routes to Schools grant applications At the request of the Clear Creek-Amana School District JCCOG investigated possible Safe Routes to Schools (SRTS) grant projects in the City of Tiffin. After meeting with representatives from both the Clear Creek - Amana School District and the City of Tiffin, making on-site observations, and talking with citizens, several alternatives for projects aimed at alleviating barriers for children to safely walk or bike to school were identified. As a joint effort between the City of Tiffin, the Clear Creek - Amana School District, and JCCOG, an application requesting Safe Routes to Schools funding was submitted requesting funds for sidewalk improvements and crosswalk upgrades near the new Tiffin High School currently under construction. SRTS applications were also submitted by the cities of Coralville, Mount Vernon, and Solon. I have included correspondence from the SRTS program coordinator in your packet. Agenda Item #7: Discussion of future RTBC agenda items At the August 14th Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee meeting we briefly discussed future agenda items that the group felt should be addressed by the committee at subsequent meetings. Issues included specific items of interest and general directions that the committee felt it should be focusing its efforts. Please be prepared to further discuss this issue. Agenda Item #8: Other Business Agenda Item #9: Adjournment s/pcd/agendas/jccog/rtbc/2007/rtbc1 0-30-07 agenda,doc ~JCCOG r~ m e m 0 (... Date: October 22, 2007 To: JCCOG Regional Trails and Bicycling Committee From: Kent Ralston; Assistant Transportation Planner Re: Highway 218 Pedestrian Tunnel at Hunter's Run Park Background As directed in the JCCOG FY2007 work program, JCCOG staff has conducted a preliminary investigation into the feasibility of using an existing storm water culvert passing under Highway 218 as a pedestrian tunnel connecting Hunter's Run Park on the west side of Highway 218 with the current terminus of the Willow Creek Trail on the east side of Highway 218. Hunter's Run Park (26.6 acres) was established in 1985 and provides the Hunter's Run neighborhood with amenities such as biking trails, picnic areas, shelters and playground equipment. The Willow Creek Trail is approximately 2 miles long, and connects Willow Creek Park, Kiwanis Park, Walden Square commercial area, and West High School with surrounding neighborhoods. The connection of Hunter's Run Park to the Willow Creek Trail would ultimately allow pedestrians on the west side of Highway 218 direct access to the locations previously mentioned and alleviate the need for pedestrians in the Hunter's Run Neighborhood to travel south to use the pedestrian crossings at the Rohret Road / Highway 218 overpass. Evidence shows that pedestrians currently utilize the existing storm water culvert in question to reach destinations on either side of Highway 218. Scope of Project The proposed project would utilize an existing storm water culvert passing under Highway 218 as a pedestrian tunnel connecting Hunter's Run Park on the west side of Highway 218 to the current terminus of the Willow Creek Trail on the east side of Highway 218. The existing culvert is approximately 8' in height, 8' in width (with an additional 6" frost trough), 380' in length, and exists within the Iowa Department of Transportation , (Iowa DOT) right-of-way. In preliminary discussions, Iowa DOT indicated that although the width and height . c' ~~j of the culvert do not meet AASHTO standards, there is no inherent reason why the project could not proceed as long as local funds were used to finance the project (Federal resources would require that AASHTO standards are met). During an initial assessment, the Iowa City Engineering Division noted that the culvert appears to be in good condition and indicated that it would be reasonable to assume the culvert could be safely occupied by pedestrians pending further study of storm water flows. Additional research on 'normal' and 'high flow' storm water conditions will be necessary before the project can advance. The proposed project will also require modified approaches to the culvert, adding appropriate lighting in the culvert, and adequate warning signage and extensions of the trail on both the east and west sides of the culvert. The necessary trail extensions on either side of the culvert would likely not require property acquisition as the land presently exists in lOOT right-of-way and existing City property. Grading for the necessary trail extensions would be minimal as much of ;~t: \~Ah :~:;:~:;;p::::leted during past projects. ,: t1i There are three basic options available for the proposed \~~11 project and use of the storm water culvert in question. -~'f1' :}\ \' \ The first option is to construct a raised floor in the existing culvert similar to that used in the pedestrian tunnel under 1-80 near Coral Ridge Mall in Coralville. In ~ this arrangement, a raised and perforated floor is installed so that during 'normal' storm water conditions water moves beneath the surface used by pedestrians, and in 'high flow' storm water conditions the water is able to rise above the perforated floor as necessary. This allows the existing culvert to manage storm water efficiently during large storm events while accommodating pedestrian use during 'normal' conditions. Since the existing culvert does not meet AASHTO guidelines for pedestrian use, federal funding would not be used for this option. Cost estimate $445,000. The second option is to construct a new tunnel to accommodate pedestrians parallel to the existing storm water culvert. This option would be the most costly option available but would allow for design of a more accommodating pedestrian tunnel. The new structure would, by law, meet AASHTO guidelines and therefore become eligible for federal funding. AASHTO guidelines recommend tunnels be 10' wide and maintain 10' vertical clearance. Cost estimate $2,430,000. The third option is to install a separate pipe to manage storm water parallel to the existing culvert. This option would make the most of the available space in the existing culvert and be more cost effective that building a separate dedicated pedestrian tunnel. Since the existing culvert does not meet AASHTO guidelines for pedestrian use, federal funding could not be used for this option. The necessity for this alternative may become clearer with further study of storm water flows. Cost estimate $580,000 Please contact me at 319-356-5253 or kent-ralston@iowa-citv.orq with any questions you may have.

Your name, phone number, and JCCOG affiliation: Erling Anderson (354-7897); City of University Heights 2. Dollar amount of federal funds requested (required minimum 20% local match), and total project cost: Federal Funds Requested: $396,800.00 Local Match: $ 99.200.00 Total Project Cost: $496,000.00 3. Brief description of the proposed project. Attach a location map/visual description of the project: The City of University Heights, proposes to further the JCCOG Long Range Multi-Modal Transportation Plan by providing an effective connection between two points within the trails and wide sidewalk network. This project will replace an existing 4-foot sidewalk with an 8-foot "wide sidewalk" on the north side of Melrose Avenue, connecting an existing wide sidewalk at the east city limit of University Heights to within 200-feet of an existing trail at the Finkbine Golf Course entrance drive just beyond the west city limit. The total project length is approximately 3,000 linear feet. The proposed project provides an improved bicycle and pedestrian connection between destination points (City of Iowa City and University of Iowa) to the east and west of University Heights, as well as destination points within University Heights, such as the Athletic Club, St. Andrews Church, Taste on Melrose, City Hall, and the Hedlund Dental Office. In particular, there are numerous University of Iowa facilities developing west of the City, including Finkbine Golf Course, the Commuter Parking Lot, Student Housing, Recreation Fields, and numerous athletic practice and competition sites. The existing Melrose A venue right-of-way is 80-feet wide from the west city limit to Sunset Street. This provides enough width to place the wide sidewalk and maintain adequate clear widths, and requires only minor modifications to a few entrance drive aprons. The existing Melrose A venue right-of-way is 60-feet wide from Sunset Street to the east city limit. There are several residential driveways on the north . , side with steep grades. Overhead utility pole facilities are located on the south side of the street. To accommodate appropriate clearances, and maintain the existing driveway apron grades for residential properties along the route, the north curb of Melrose Avenue would need to be moved south approximately 4-feet. The resulting street width would be 33-feet. The attached "sections" show that the existing functionality of the roadway could be maintained. Design exceptions may be necessary for lane width and path/roadway separation in some locations. Bicycle parking is proposed to be located adjacent to this new walk near the building housing the restaurant, dentist's office, and City Hall. This is the only section of the City currently zoned for Business. To maintain appropriate clear width distances along the walk in this area, the north curb would move south by 4-feet, and the existing trees and walkway lighting in this area are proposed to be removed and replaced. It is proposed to modify the pavement markings in this section to maintain the on-street parking and two lanes of east-west traffic. 4. List all modes of transportation impacted by the proposed project: Primary: Secondary: Pedestrian, Bicycle Vehicle (potential to encourage fewer vehicle trips in favor of walking or bicycling; provider safer and/or more desirable route) 5. If applicable, describe the terrain where the proposed project is located: The north side of Melrose Avenue is an existing urban roadway. The proposed project would encounter numerous driveways (primarily residential), and cross three intersections: Birkdale Court, Sunset Street, and the Koser/Golfview intersection. The majority of overhead utility facilities are located on the opposite side of the road (south side). The distance between the edge of the existing 4-foot walk and the back of curb varies along the project. There are a few properties with existing retaining walls abutting the edge of the right-of-way. 6. Will the proposed project involve establishment of a new right-of-way? No. . !i~ 'Ff~ . , > tl:l lIf::e !

Silver Bronze Santa Cruz, Calif. Lexington-Fayette County, Ky. Steamboat Springs, Colo. Liberty Lake, Wash. New York City, N.Y. Santa Clarita, Calif. Spartanburg, S.C. The Bicycle Friendly Community program is revolutionizing the way communities evaluate their quality of life and transportation network. The League awards this four-year designation to communities that have made impressive, measurable efforts to integrate bicyclists into the community. There are four levels-platinum, gold, silver and bronze-awarded twice each year. Thirteen communities renewed their designation, with one, Arlington, Va., moving up from bronze to silver. These communities are: Platinum Davis, Calif. Santa Barbara, Calif. Tempe, Ariz. Gold Palo Alto, Calif. Bronze Auburn, Ala. Bloomington, Ind. Brentwood, Calif. Chattanooga, Tenn. Vancouver, Wash. Washington, D.C. Silver Arlington, Va. Chicago, III. Folsom, Calif. This designation is one with real meaning-it is difficult to earn and important to renew. In addition to the winning communities, 17 other communities applied in this round. Since the program's inception in 2003, 174 communities have applied and 70 have earned the designation. "In this round, eight communities were given honorable mentions," League Executive Director Andy Clarke said. "It is important to recognize communities as they begin to build bicycle friendliness into their network. But a designation only goes to communities with established records in two or more ofthe five categories." The five categories local and national reviewers look at are: Education: Does the community have systems in place to train children and adult cyclists? Engineering: Are bicyclists included in the city's transportation plan? Enforcement: Do police officers understand and enforce bicyclists' rights and responsibilities? Encouragement: Does the community participate in Bike Month, offer bike rodeos, host community bike rides, or otherwise encourage cycling? Evaluation: Does the community have methods in place to ensure their bicyclist programs are making a difference? The honorable mentions are: Baton Rouge, La. Honolulu, Hawaii Iowa City, Iowa Knoxville, Tenn. Little Rock, Ark. Los Angeles, Calif. Oceanside, Calif. Tampa, Fla. Notable features of this round of designations include: Santa Cruz, Calif., in addition to a good all-around cycling program, has strongly enforced guidelines to protect the safety of cyclists, pedestrians and disabled travelers during road construction. Steamboat Springs, Colo. has a strongly integrated off- and on-road bicycling system, featuring some of the best single-track in the country. Lexington-Fayette County, Ky. just passed a new bicycle-pedestrian master plan with $2 million in local funds allocated for trail development and bike lanes. Liberty Lake, Wash. built a bicycle infrastructure from the ground up as the community has grown over the past 20 years. New York City, N.Y., because of their high-profile crash problem, recently completed the most thorough crash analysis of any city in the country. They are already using this plan to improve the safety of cyclists. Santa Clarita, Calif. has made intersection improvements across the city with the installation of extremely sensitive bicycle-detection technology to ensure cyclists are properly accommodated on city streets. Spartanburg, S.c. recently completed a two-mile rail-trail through downtown which was paid for with more than $1 million in local funds. About the BFC Program & the League The BFC program was initiated in 2003 and has received applications from more than 174 communities. Designations have been awarded to 70 cities and counties.
