Key Next Steps <br />7. Secure Funding for Schematic Design <br />The City's Federal lobbying effort requested <br />funds to develop a schematic design for the <br />preferred transportation alternative last spring. <br />If successful, these funds would be available in <br />late fall, 2002. The City will also need to secure <br />funding for the construction of this <br />transportation alterrnative. <br />2. Design and Construction for 8°'' <br />Avenue and Ferry Street. <br />The City's Federal lobbying effort also included <br />a request for funds to design and construct the <br />immediate improvements needed to provide <br />access to the courthouse, specifically on 8"' and <br />Ferry. The design needs to include streetscape <br />details as well as stormwater facilities. <br />3. Coordination with ODOT <br />Programming/schematic designs for the 6"' <br />Avenue realignment need to be developed in <br />close coordination with <br />with ODOT officials. <br />4. Coordination with <br />Courthouse Architect <br />Street improvements to 8"' <br />Avenue and construction <br />of Ferry Street need to be <br />closely coordinated with <br />the construction for the <br />new Federal Courthouse. <br />5. Coordination with <br />Union Pacific Railroad <br />If a pedestrian railroad <br />underpass, either with or <br />without a Millrace, is to <br />be constructed at the <br />north end of the new <br />Ferry Street, coordination <br />with Union Pacific officials <br />will be required. <br />__ <br />,~.~ <br />...~ <br />I <br />~A <br />4 <br />9~ <br />~~ <br />'; s: <br />,~. _ <br />.~; <br />.. <br />~, tg r. <br />.r-1 <br />_ , ., <br />,.,., <br />i ~° ~, <br />a~, ~.~ n <br />12' bioswale 12' bikelane landscape 22': two-lane highway 7' park 12' sitewalk <br />Illustrative section through railroad tracks and bth Avenue realignment. <br />Page 29 <br />
