September 1, 2015 CPAC Group Review – Draft Olive Boulevard SubArea Plan Comments General statements  Better support of recommendations with data – Though some of this information may be contained in the Existing Conditions or elsewhere in the report, it should be incorporated specifically in the SubArea plan.  Include proposed land use map/information in each specific district for ease of reference.  Ensure that where expansion is recommended into residential areas, it is clear that buyouts are on a voluntary basis.  Encourage the City, businesses along Olive Boulevard, and the residents to discuss a joint mission and goals for the International District with respect to branding, race/culture relationships?  Incorporate recommendations to bring high speed internet to Olive Boulevard.  Refine the colors in the land use map to ensure distinction between districts Page 1:  Change the western boundary of the Parkway District to Midland at a minimum, perhaps west to Mount Vernon.  Work with various organizations such as the Army Corps of Engineers, FEMA, MSD etc. to ensure that floodplain development “roadblocks” are minimized where appropriate. Page 2&3:  Encourage multi-story mixed use development along the corridor which could include residential components. Pages 4&5  Revisit items in the toolbox after review of the Road Diet Study. Ensure the Road Diet study incorporated recommendations of the Bike-Walk Master Plan. Pages 6&7  Reduce the number of wayfinding signs in the corridor. Locate wayfinding signs at key points on the corridor – i.e. west and east end? Page 9 – Interchange District  Ensure the community gateway signage is highly visible. Page 11 – International District  In proposed local improvements, remove residential areas (in purple) from commercial expansion areas.  Reduce the number of wayfaring signs in the International District.  Better describe how the intersection tools are being implemented in identified areas. Page 12 – Parkway District  Remove specifics on modifying neighborhood circulation -- add conceptual illustration  Add a sentence that residents will be engaged in any discussion of modifying neighborhood circulation.
