2020 Council BudgetPriority Submission Form <br />for consideration as part of the 2021 Budget <br />Finance Committee <br />Due date.- Monday August 31, 2020 <br />Title of Project or Policy Priority: HAWK Crosswalk on Madison between Westwood/Morrison and Warren Road <br />Submitted by: Ward 2 Councilmember, Jason Shachner <br />City Departments to be involved: Public Works, Department of Planning and Development, and Safety Forces <br />Potential community partners: NOACA; ODOT <br />Which of the Community Vision focus areas does your priority address? Check all that apply: <br />Commercial Development ā¯‘Safety <br />Housing Mobility <br />Community Wellness Education & Culture <br />1. Provide a brief narrative description of your idea: <br />There is no crosswalk on Madison Avenue between Westwood/Morrison and Warren Road. This is a <br />stretch of approximately 2,440 ft (.46 miles) without an intervening crosswalk. This area experiences <br />frequent foot traffic due to the popular bars and restaurants and many have observed people <br />crossing the north side of the street from the public parking lot to the restaurants located directly <br />across on the south side of the street. I propose installing a HAWK Crosswalk somewhere between <br />Westwood/Morrison and Warren Road. <br />2. Briefly explain how this will benefit the community: <br />Installing a HAWK crosswalk will decrease the distance one has to travel to safely cross Madison <br />Avenue and will mitigate safety risks. This also adds to the walkability of our community. <br />3. Estimated expense (provide a range): <br />$11,500-$15,500 for HAWK Study and Design and $65,000-$95,000 for construction <br />4. If applicable, describe any past proposals or discussions that are related to this priority. <br />5. If applicable, describe any preliminary discussions you have had with colleagues, the administration <br />and/or your constituents about this priority. <br />Briefly discussed with City Engineer, Mark Papke. Learned that ODOT covered the construction cost <br />on a previous HAWK installation. Spoke with many constituents who lived in the area last summer. <br />
