Comment; Due to an error in a preparation of plans for retaining wall to be constructed,!in front of. 1430 and 1506'Rochester Ave. it will be necessary for the City to spend approximately;exJ,,a_ $6;850 to complete the ?wall construction. The problem arises from the fact that the retaining wall, as originally designed, would only be approximately three feet in height whereas a field review,jindicated that such a height would be completely unacceptable. A! redesign' ofithe retaining. wall, - ;as completed by our staff indicating a much`:heavier design with'', a: height of":approximately six feet. In view of the 'fact that this, program is an assessment project it is not possible for :the City to spread the.increased -cost back against the affected property owners. As such, it would be • necessary for the;City to pay ,for this additional'construc- tion cost. The only other alternative is for the City to 0 I 1 I I il i page 7 Agenda „ July j, 1973 I: Item No. 15 (continued) drop,the sidewalk and retaining wall in front of these two properties outiof the 1973 Program and include it in, the next sidewalk assessment project.` However, it is not felt that'this,is a>desirable alternative.

DUR 7/3/73 REVIEW OF�RE-USF.. APPRAISALS FOR DISPOSITION !PARCELS CITY -UNIVERSITY PROJECTI Prior to a detailed review of the re -use appraisals for disposition parcels in City -University Project I, hereinafter referred to as "the Project,",it is necessary to have an understanding of when and why,t}ie,appraisals:were "obtained. In early 1972, in preparation for the marketing of Project Land,' the.City contracted with the'firms'.of-'Iowa Appraisal and'Research Corporation of Des Moines, Iowa, and Ted C. Fisher, Inc., of Daven- port, Iowa, to make re -:use appraisals. From approximately,April, , 1972, through Decembers the appraisers made appraisals on the indi- victual disposition parcels as if they were to be sold on the open . arket for their; highest and best use, with the `only l'conditions to' i:eir sale being those"imposed by the Urban Renewal Plan. MARCO apparaised 15 disposition parcels. and Fisher 10.: i }'ow3rd the end of 1972, the 'LPA decided ,'aftermuch discussion and tonsil tation,;that it would approach the marketing of `Project Land;' by ::.tempting to sell all the land at one time, hopefully to one .Ove Loper.>„ The ,reasons for using this strategy are many aadivari.ed.. Foremost among.the,reasons, however is that this method vrould a..o�,: ro Lan integrated and unified,redevelopment plan'. That is to sav, 11bread of developing >ndividual;.parcels.as separate entities, the: ertre downtown can.be',approached as a single unit. Planning a:,d ,,c .0 I redevelopment ,would not take place on a '125 -foot front" Ir,en- o"ii!ty, but rather on'''a broader scope, looking ,at the redevelopment. are:; 1°1.7 acres. This "total development," the LPA felt ;'would er•nance the physical, and most probably the economic,'.we,ll-being of downtown Iowa 'City, for the'next,,50-75 years.` Also among the reasons considered for using the "total development"'strategy is that the LPA would have a greater guarantee of;disposing of all of the disposition 'parcels through this method than in trying ,to offer the parcels one -at -a -time. "'History has shown that in 'many urban renewal projects, the''less desirable tracts are difficult to sell, 'usually and do'not command fair market value. A'ith the "total `,development" philosophy as a basis, the LPA sought re -use appraisals from'the two above-mentioned firms in April, 1973. "ac',appraisers were instructed to 'give the; LPA a total dollar amount 0,,tho,entire 11.7 acres and then subsequently distribute various' per -square -foot -costs to each individual parcel. The appraisals' re were received on June,15y 1973, and were in she amount: of $1;545,736 in the case of 'IARCO and $1,52S,368 in the case of Fisher'. `'This averages out to'>$3.02'and $3.00 g per square'. foot respectively`', h'ith these appraisals in }land, the LPA then proceeded to analyze how these figures would'coincide with the latest approved Financing P:an for the Project.

Community School Syfitem., The city transit service become a serious drain on an otherwise profitable! operation. Service Level The Iowa City Coach Company operated Wcontintious-service line -haul system, using 31- and 35'-OaBsengei coaches. The average age of the buses was nearly 14 years. Five 'of the seven routes contained long loops that were used to expand the area cover- age of the limited iystem;,Service hours were from 6:30 a:m. to 6:30 p in., 6 days per week.Headways were 30 minutes on four, routes and 20 minutes on the remaining th , "" There had been littleI expand service to new growth areas of the city ree. attempt to, even though the,city's population had Increased by more than'40 percent In the 10 -year period from 1960 to 1970. The level of service during the 1960s was fairly constant. Early Subsidy. The'increas'd to 'a 257cent fare in the spring of 1966 drove, ridership to a record low and actually: produced a decrease in revenue. In an effort to: maintain some form of transit service,= the university agreed to subsidize' the transit system at $3,000 per month, with the. stipulation that universitystudents be. allowed to ride for a 10 -cent fire: The: result was an Immediate doubling of ridership. "�'Because-of pre ssure from local ,citizens, 'the city: council,agreed to share in the sub-, sidy, :increasing it,to45,000 per month, and the general fare was reduced to 10 cents. The subsidy, created a highly profitable arrangement for the 'private operation though it waB:difficult to determine the extent of the profit because the company also operated a school bus service and charter service. The year-end audit seemed to indicate an overiubsidization, 'with excess profits.being earned by the operator. This resulted in a'demind for. extended service, which the private operator refused to do, and the, sub-,. sidy,widwIthdia,%rn. A labor.,con,tract, negotiated in 1967, raised driver wage levels nearly. 10 percent. T subsidy agreement,! created a rising fii6'6ontract,;:'coupIed with the cessation of the cost-c6fistant revenue situation. In an attempt to cover costs, the private operator, bean raising fares in 5 -cent increments to the 1970 level of 25 cents., The fare in - g' creases raised revenues but drove away choice riders. The result was further finan- ciii losses as cost continued to rise faster than revenue. Final Subsidy In L spring of 1970, the owner,, who had been opernting without a franchise, threat- I' the ened to terminate service as of June 6, 1970: The regional planning commission was in the process o[ contracting for a mass transit technical study at this time. A publicly financed system,was being considered, but it was at least I yearaway, from Implemen- tation. As stopgap measure, the greeme t with the, private a opg city entered into an agreement operator to continue service.* The city agreed toay the Iowa City Coach' p � Company $90 per day per routs with the city retaining all revenues. As a'result, the city has paid up to $9,000 per month in suWidy: This agreement continued for 14 months at a total cost of $81;805,($220,000 cost as compared to $138,000 in revenues) until I im roved public - siimplted. service was ery September 1, 1971' when the'p implemented. MASS TRANSIT TECHNICAL STUDY In mid -1970, the Johnson County Regional Planning Commission received a mass transit, technical study grant from the Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA). The Center for Urban Transportation Studies of the Institute I of Urban and Regional Researeh at the University of Iowa was awarded a contract to develop a short-range transit plan, 'consisting of an analysis to recommend alternative rouWpatterns and to estimate their patronage and cost. ' Comparison. of ,swept -area diagrams for turning, movements for. the 33- and 45- passenger buses shows little difference. These advantages were'felt to of feet the ad-' vantages of a smaller, more maneuverable bus. ' it was also recommended that'the'cft y proylde forjthe'elimination of on It parking for transit routes on narrow streets, lengthen curb radii at certainintersec-' tions to improve', lurnfng'movements; and Improve traffic (low on Heavily traveled streets used by transit vehicles.' Patronage Estimates Initially, a trip split model was formulated by using -data from the Iowa City Origin and Destination Study completed in 1964 by the Iowa State Commission. The ,Highway dependent variable, percentage of total person using transltwas related to vert- i' ablca of three t types: production -end variables, attraction -end variables;.. and zone -to- zone service variables. ;,The resulting estimating equation was unsuitable because it was based on,a`,small relative number of transit trips, 197 transit trips out of 11;512 person trips. It was a better descriptive than predictive model,', and the model was not sensitive to changes in level 10 transit service. Consequently; apurpose-specific model was developed utilizing the on -bus survey data gathered during the mass transit technical study and projected interzonal transfers. ' Because 91,percent of sill transit trips either started or ended in the CBD,'' and because this zone was to continue to be the; central node In the new. ,system;'^, it was decided to concentrate on'predicting,purpose-sped!ic attraclions,.to thlglzone. , The new total :L.. trips produced were based on increasing the11964 Interzonal trip matrix by'3 percent per: year, which;is the, method used by Iowa;City in estimating The control. ,traffic. total of transit tripe was; obtained from the sum of percentages oCtransit use in zones 'transit. currentlyserved by Use of this method enabled us to better utilize Iowa State Highway, Commission projections for the, transportation study, and'lt also gave us a greater sensitivity to J. level of transit service in,:predicling,future`ridership. ::.Three;trip purposes were used: work trips, school trips, and other trips: Manual assignment was'made to account for service,to proposed university periph- eral parking lots;' replacements of existing pr' lvate transit service; and an Improved, .' extended hour service to university,, h' sing areae. ' The resulting trips were then al- ,' located to bus routes and checked against current data for accuracy. .Implicit in the modal -split estimation fe a 25 -cent fare that'was in effect at the time of the on -bus survey. ' Past patronage data were analyzed to, detect relations between , fare and patronage.."Patronage data,j4hen prior subsidies and reduced fares were in effect,', provided good fnformation,for determining'the impact of fare on patronage. A ry high degree veof correlation was found,; particularly when university enrollment was introduced as a'controlling faclon .These relations are given in. Table 1J' The results of this analysis were then applied directly to the results of the'modal-split equation to indicate changes in patronage. In retrospect,separate equations for summer and " school year should have been used. This would have removed the need for using enroll- nroll- 'I ment as mentors a variable. d i implementation The recommendedsystem was implemented by the city on September 1 1971, with r' several exceptions; no nighttime service wasprovlded; all coulee had 30 -minute head - ways; no university subsideywas provided; no budget provisions were made for bus shelters and other amenities; and the'suburb of Coralville continued Its separate service. ANALYSIS OF PATRONAGE RESPONSE There has been a substantial increase in patronage as a result of the now: transit service in Iowa Clty. New routes, ;new 45-passenger,buses,: and reduced fare (25 to 15 cents) are the principallreasons for the increased patronage. The Iowa C1ly,tranaft'system is maintaining,,daily„and monthly' statistics generated - from fare -box revenue and le supplementing the data with counts of the number of the are com collected tor; the prlor'servJce;'they show a wldawarlattoln In monthp ridership tett `. responds to university .enrollment! and,cllmate •Figure 1 shows the percentage of ,; annual patronage by month.for,the pilor service.

I The .venation in patronage by month, 'with the sharp peak In winter, months, results In capacity deficiencies during peak hours of winter months. ,There Is also a consider- able daily variation in. ridership, again primarily due to university class schedules with Monday andWednesday being the peak days?Similarly, there is a considerable varfa- tion In transit patronage by Hme'of day with majority, of the,tranalt tripe occurring duiing the peak hours of the morning and evening, . On January 24, 1972;; additional peak=hour servi reduce30 ce was Instituted. Hcadwaya were d fromminutes to 20 minutes by adding five buses to each of the five cross- town route pairs. .This ncreased'the level of service one during the peak` hours of 7:00!to 9:00 a. M- and 4:00 to 6:00p. m. each weekday.! The monthly patronage for the new system (Table 2) has been 'increasing In general accordance with the percentages shown in Figure 1, The projections made from the actual September ridership (Table';2) seem to be consistent with`the observed ridership. The predictions made from the original revenue estimate (1) are slightly lower than; but also consistent with;'lhe,recent data: ;The original' Patronage estimates made by the authors (I. pp, 47_51) were obtained from a purpose-specluc modal -split model applied to, theIraffle zones served :by each alternative transit plan. The resulFofthe modal -choice analysis was an estimate of patronage for an"average weckday,ln April, which was"approxlmately 4;300 revenue passengers for the stage -two Octobof Implementation.. This could be compared to the weekday average of 4,445 1n'' O ctober and 4,975 in November of 1971. t, iiThe important figures; for operating purposes are both average weekday and peak - hour ridership; Examination of the patronage data reveals the following: I. The average weekday patronage has been steadily increasing, ' 2: ' The variance In petro"age between days of the'week has been decreasing, f 3. The nature of the peak hour does vary with different'days. ''Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays have a "two-pronged'! morning and afternoon peak hour lhatfe'due to uni verslt y class schedules. The Friday afternoon peak is much flatter, lasting from 3:30 to 5:30 P. m. Tuesdays and Thursdays have !'single" peaks at 7:45 a: m. and 5:00 p, m: 4. ':Saturday patrons a has increased threefold because the lower fare le attractive' to youths. 5. 'Normally, December patronage declines because' students are away for 2 weeks, This year patronage did not decllne, which Indicates that more Christmas shoppers and Youths used transit than in prior years. 6, LThe January patronage was depressed because of 'capacity deficiencies and "bugs" " !n instituting the improved service during the; Iasi week of January;, 7.

(2), CAPACITY CONTROVERSY During the fall of 1971, It became'apparent that the newly instituted transit service, might not be able to handle adequately the; peak -hour demand during the winter months of December c "'arch, The question of whether to provide additional capacity during peak hours became a controversial Issue. The city administration look the posluri 'hal adequate seo rvice may mean some crowding; delays,' and, In some Instances, passing people by.

The fall of 1971 saw an increase in the use of the transit system and in the use: of bicycles' Table 3 gives the decline 1n parking revenues for 1971- 1972 as compared to the 2 prior years. This decline appears to have been temporary, which Indicates it may have been influenced,by,bicycle'users ' ' as well as by transit riders. it, appears to be too early to draw conclusions: However, Ahis is an imoorlant issue because a proposal for a downtown parking rampis. dependent on Increasedpark- ing revenues hat would be achieved by increasing' rates. During November, the new system carried an average of 3.1 `revenue passengers per route -mite, generating an average of.approximately 96 cents, per route -mile In revenue.'During the aderage,weekday, the Hawkeye Apartments route generated 'i nearly $1.50 per route -mile, whereas the two lowest patronized routes acre about ' 20,conts per route -mile: `On Saturdays, nearly all routes operate at less than half the weekday revenue-producing levels: The 15 -cent fare has resulted In some fare collectionroblems causing g an increase in run times and a decrease in driver efficiency. The transit supervisor estimates that more than one-third of, all passengers require the driver to make change, s A solution 'would be to sell monthly passes or,tokehe at'a'slightly reduced rate. The use of the tokens or a pass would speed up both fare collection'and passenger pickup limes, allow - 4 ing'the driver to more closely adhere to his; schedule, particularly during peak periods. Generally speaking,', transit patronage has increased from about 2,000 patrons per weekday on tt a old system to about 6,000 patrons Per weekday on the new system. What has been the reduction in automobile trips? ` Parking revenues tell part of the story, and traffic counts, which are not available at this time, may Indicate more.' if one -, assumes that one-half oElhe new. patrons formerly, drove,'a sgniffcantreduction In automobile travel has been made.. CONTINUED INVESTIGATIONS In addition to the continued monitoring of patronage response as previously described, ' a variety of other studies are under, way, to continue analysis and improvement of trnnsil S ervice in Iowa City. ',First, abefore-and-atter study of transit attitudes' and prefer- t ences has been conducted and analyzed. :Second, a'campus travel behavior sludyhas been conducted and is being analyzed.

The nature of.the bus use as shown in Nese data seems to support. fairly well the initial objectives of the bus system. f'It is not only providing a service to those without automobiles, but it is also getting people out of :automobiles and getting automo- biles of[ campus. Ttie. university is now exploring ways to make the campus shuttle a permanent fea-` ture. _Both Purchase and P ,lease arrangements are being explored. Long -Range Transit Planning Study i.The mass'translt technical study (1) that preceded the new bus system for Iowa City was of a short-range nature ' Itsemphasis en'the short range was primarily due to lhe,need to move rapidly and, to the lack of forecasts. •'Forecasts of population, em- ploy`ment; and travel 'r are now sing s part of the Iowa.City.UrbanArea g produced a Transportation Study. Consequently, it is now. possible. to conduct a long-range in- '; vestigaUon and develop a plan for the long-range transit needs of the Iowa City area. The Institute of Urban and,Reglonal:Research hopes to participate'in such along -range' transit investlgation again as a subcontract to'Johnson.Coanty Regional Planning Cam - mission, which is responsible for the area Po transportation study. ! CURRENT POLICY QUESTIONS Even though Iowa City does not suffer so severe a financial plight as most American municipalities, it does not have sufficient funds to use for risk capital to play; an active and innovative role in transit. Additional capacity was provided,with full knowledge that additional subsidy 'would be increased. ' The city could increase patronage by ex- tending the level of service, constructing bus shelters, developing a program to market transit, increasing parking costs, and integrating the transit system with a campus shuttle: system to Improve distribution. However, increased revenues would not cover Ne increase in cost, and still more lsubsidy would be necessary. What level of service should be provided 7 Thls ie a'key question in Iowa City and Is relevant to other public systems that have slmllar'!success.,,Every time'.a public sys- tem assumes a private operation,' the question of extending, the level of service must be addressed. H, as 1n the case of Iowa City, the patronage response is greater'than the ! capacity provided, there will be disagreement as to whether additional service should be provided: z CONCLUSIONS There are a variety of conclueiona that can be drawn from the experience in Iowa City to date. However, Iowa City is unique in that it 1s a university -dominant city, and the main campus and the CBD are adjacent, which provides an extremely strong central focus that is conducive to being served by transit' Thisuniquene@s, of course,, l limits the transferability of ,the experience. Nevertheless, the decline of transit has it ;y .4 .i wr vtv`u-fL UlJ�.UJJ1VlV JULY 3,'1973 The Iowa City City Council met in informal session at 12:30 P.M. on the '3rd day of :July, 1973,in the.
