MEMORANDUM
June 28, 2005
TO:
FROM:
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Robert Schiesl, Civil Engineer RD S
SUBJECT: Clarke College - Pedestrian Crossing Improvements on Clarke Drive
INTRODUCTION
Clarke College has indicated a request to improve the student and pedestrian crossing
corridor on Clarke Drive between the Atrium building and the Kehl Center. Based on
City Council action on May 16, 2005, the College has prepared construction documents
which provide for the construction of bump-out and drop-off areas and will incorporate
decorative colored concrete and the installation of historic street lights. The proposed
improvements are intended to compliment the streetscape appearance of Main Street.
The College feels that the street improvements will function as a gateway for the
campus and will function as traffic calming measures while reducing traffic speeds and
provide a safer pedestrian crossing in the area.
DISCUSSION
Engineering staff has worked collectively with Clarke College to develop the
construction documents for the proposed streetscape design. Concerns regarding storm
water drainage and winter snow removal issues have been addressed by the attached
agreement between the City and Clarke College. This agreement outlines that Clarke
College will be fully responsible for all costs associated with the proposed streetscape
improvements which include the construction of storm water drainage improvements, as
well as the installation, ownership and maintenance of the historic street lights. The
agreement also requires Clarke College to perform snow removal operations in the
bump-out and drop-off areas during the winter months.
ACTION TO BE TAKEN
Based on the approved streetscape design plan attached hereto, I respectfully request
your concurrence with the proposed improvements for the pedestrian crossing corridor
on Clarke Drive between the Atrium building and the Kehl Center and seek your
approval to authorize the City Manager to execute the attached agreement.
