July 9, 2020 RE. Provide Direction to Staff Relating to Reconstruction of West 9th Avenue from Oakwood Road to Linden Oaks Drive BACKGROUND The Department of Public Works has been planning for the reconstruction of West 9th Avenue, from South Oakwood Road to Linden Oaks Drive, since the development of the 2018 Capital Improvement Program (CIP). All remaining lands in the Town of Algoma, adjacent to the West 9th Avenue right-of-way in this area, attached to the City of Oshkosh in March 2018. Once all lands were within the municipal boundary of the City of Oshkosh, the City could begin planning for this long-requested street reconstruction. At the June 23, 2020 Common Council meeting, the Department of Public Works presented the Common Council with four (4) options for consideration regarding the road layout for the West 9th Avenue Street Reconstruction Project. The first three(3) options were presented at the Traffic and Parking Advisory Board meeting on June 9, 2020. The fourth option was developed by the Traffic and Parking Advisory Board Chairperson during their meeting that evening. All four (4) options have been provided to neighboring property owners via mail. The four(4) options presented are: 1. Reconstruct the street at forty eight feet (48') from face of curb to face of curb. Provide two 12' wide driving lanes, two 5' wide bicycle lanes, and a 14' wide Two-Way Left-Turn Lane (TWLTL). 2. Reconstruct the street at forty eight feet (48') from face of curb to face of curb Provide two 12' wide travel lanes,two 6' wide bicycle lanes,a single 9' wide parking lane,and two 1.5' wide buffers at the curb face. 3. Reconstruct the street at forty eight feet (48') from face of curb to face of curb. Provide two 11' wide travel lanes, two 5' wide bicycle lanes, and two 8' wide parking lanes.

Reconstruct the street at forty eight feet (48') from face of curb to face of curb. Provide four 12' wide travel lanes. ANALYSIS All four (4) options prepared contain the same forty eight feet (48') of width from curb face to curb face. Staff feels it is imperative to reconstruct the street at forty eight feet (48') in width to accommodate future traffic growth in this area. This section of West 9th Avenue is currently classified as a "Collector" street; however, starting at Westhaven Drive, West 9th Avenue is classified as an "Arterial" street. Long-term traffic growth indicates the section of West 9th Avenue, from South Oakwood Road to Linden Oaks Drive, will be re-classified as an "Arterial" street prior to the road reaching the end of its useful life. At that time, staff and the Common Council will be faced with the potential of having to prematurely reconstruct the street,if it is not reconstructed to forty eight feet(48')in width now The City of Oshkosh Comprehensive Plan indicates that arterial streets are to be reconstructed with four 12' wide driving lanes. As West 9th Avenue will become an arterial street before the end of its useful life, it is in the City's best interest to plan for that width of construction now As the street is currently only a collector,creative options are available to us to utilize the forty eight fee (48') feet of pavement surface. The current traffic volume does not necessitate the use of a TWLTL, however, that option was presented to avoid the necessity of removing parking in the future to accommodate four(4) lanes of traffic as the street classification is upgraded. The Common Council adopted the updated City of Oshkosh Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan on November 12,2019 That plan calls for bicycle facilities to be installed on this section of West 9th Avenue. The ideal time to include facilities is during the reconstruction of the street. The bicycle facilities on this portion of West 9th Avenue will connect with facilities already installed on South Oakwood Road. Private utility companies have significant infrastructure within the West 9th Avenue right-of-way These companies need the City design to determine what facilities they need to relocate as a part of the construction project. Delays in providing the design could delay the ability of the private utility companies to complete their work, thus causing delays in the completion of the City's project. FISCAL IMPACT All options include forty eight feet(48') of concrete pavement width;therefore, there is negligible fiscal impact between the options at the time of initial construction. Future fiscal impacts could include needing to remove and restripe the street at such time as the classification is upgraded, and four 12' travel lanes are necessary I\Engineering\2021 2030 Contracts\2021 CONTRACTS\21 04 W 9th Page 2 Of 3 Are\Prote t_lnformahon\Correspondence\Memo\21 04 CC Memo-Dtrechon on W 9th Ave g Width_7-9-20 dock RECOMMENDATIONS In order for staff to proceed with the design of West 9th Avenue,and get information to the private utility companies in order for them to design any infrastructure changes they need to make, it is important for the Council to give direction to the Engineering Division staff at this time.
