TO: State Street Corridor Plan Project Management Team

FROM: Eunice Kim, Planner II, Project Manager

Community Development Department

DATE: September 27, 2016

SUBJECT: Summary of Public Input

(Subtask 5.5: Memorandum #5)

This memorandum summarizes input from the second public meeting for the State Street

Corridor Plan project held on September 14, 2016 at Court Street Christian Church. More than

100 people attended the meeting in addition to five City staff members and three members of the

consultant team working on the project. Roughly 73 percent of the meeting participants live in or

near the State Street corridor, 11 percent work in or near the corridor, and 14 percent live in

Salem but not near the corridor.

The public meeting began with a presentation about the project’s purpose, goals, and timeline.

Eunice Kim, a planner with the City of Salem, also provided an overview of the public input

received at the first public meeting in March. The presentation can be found online here.

Marcy McInelly, the land use consultant on the project, described the two new mixed-use zones

that have been proposed for State Street: Mixed-Use 1 and Mixed-Use 2. A description of the

two zones can be found on page 3 of the Land Use and Street Design Alternatives Booklet

(Booklet). She then walked through the four proposed land use alternatives: West End Focus,

West End Nodal Focus with Southern Addition, West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition,

and Entire Corridor Nodal Focus. Descriptions and maps of each alternative can be found in the

presentation and Booklet.

Meeting participants then asked questions about the land use alternatives before breaking into

small group discussions. During the small group discussions, City staff and consultant team

members went to each table to answer more questions and explain five specific questions that the

meeting participants were going to be asked to vote on electronically. The five questions were

provided on comment sheets at each table. Following the small group discussions, the meeting

participants voted on the five questions, and the results were shown live. These polling results

are included as Attachment 1. The questions and results are also provided below.

Bridget Wieghart, the lead transportation consultant on the project, presented the three street

design alternatives that have been proposed for State Street: Improved Four-Lane, Road Diet,

and Hybrid. The Improved Four Lane and Road Diet alternatives also included options. A

description and maps of the alternatives can be found in the presentation and Booklet.

Summary of Public Input

September 27, 2016

Meeting participants then asked questions about the street design alternatives before breaking

into small group discussions. Similar to the previous group discussions, City staff and consultant

team members answered questions and explained five questions about street design that meeting

participants later voted on electronically. The questions and results are provided below.

In addition to voting electronically, meeting participants provided input at the small table

discussions and wrote comments on the comment sheets. The written comments have been

summarized below.

At the end of the meeting, the consultant team provided a summary of all of the alternatives, and

they discussed the alternative that best met the project goals: West End Nodal Focus with

Eastern Addition, Entire Corridor Nodal Focus, Road Diet (with no bike lanes), and Hybrid.

Meeting participants were then asked to vote on the alternatives themselves, and the following

alternatives received the highest percentage of votes:

Land Use Alternatives: 57% Entire Corridor Nodal Focus

Street Design Alternatives: 48% Road Diet (with pedestrian enhancements)

Each individual question and polled responses are detailed below, followed by a summary of

written comments provided during the meeting. Based on the voting and written comments, there

was strong support at the public meeting for the following ideas or concepts:

A mix of uses along the entire State Street corridor

Different scales and intensities of development along the corridor

Greater intensity of development on the west end of the corridor

A mix of uses south of State Street roughly between 12th and 14th streets

Reconfiguration of State Street into three lanes (one lane in each direction with a center

turn lane) for the entire length of the corridor

Wider sidewalks and pedestrian amenities on State Street

At the end of this memorandum is a summary of other comments that community members have

provided through emails, phone calls, social media, letters, and in-person discussions. Comments

from members of the technical advisory committee and stakeholder advisory committee have

been provided in separate meeting summary documents.

September 27, 2016

WRITTEN COMMENTS: LAND USE

1. I prefer the mix of uses along State Street to be…

Variety of intensities will make the corridor more interesting.

A mix of intensities provides a varied experience for pedestrians and residents.

A mix of intensities will help Salem keep its more residential feel and scale with nodes of commercial. There should be a green node at the creek.

Mixed housing and low-income housing should be allowed.

More intense development should be closer to the city center, and less development should be on the east, which might help preserve some of the valuable buildings (e.g., older homes).

Existing sidewalks and structures should be repaired.

The southern addition should be added to a mix of intensities on State Street.

MU-1 and MU-2 should not be mixed within the same block (e.g., 14th and State Street corners on the east side should be MU-2).

High density should be allowed between 12th Street and the creek.

Salem needs commercial space. The corridor is close to the Capitol, and high intensity will result in faster development and more vibrant revitalization of State Street.

The east end is now essentially a slum.

2. I prefer new development on State Street to be…

State Street would look deserted if the whole corridor is not rezoned.

There should be incentives to promoting walkability on side streets.

The entire corridor should be addressed so that an opportunity for development is not lost.

The west end should be more dense.

Parking should be considered.

There are blighted properties scattered throughout the corridor, so the whole street needs new development.

Focusing on the whole corridor fits best with the adopted NEN-SESNA Plan, and there is a desire not to lose momentum for redeveloping the whole corridor now.

New development should first be concentrated on the west end, and then see how that goes and expand to the east end.

For placemaking purposes, redevelopment should be concentrated (incentivized) in the area between 12th Street and the creek.

New development should be throughout the corridor because otherwise, the east end will remain a slum.

3. If there is a mix of uses

throughout the entire corridor, I prefer the intensity of development to be…

Mixed-use zoning should be allowed to encompass the neighborhoods to the north and south.

A mix of intensities are preferred in the west, with low intensity on the east.

The nodal aspect preferred would mean different and varying intensities along the corridor.


September 27, 2016

WRITTEN COMMENTS: LAND USE

3. If there is a mix of uses

throughout the entire corridor, I prefer the intensity of development to be…

The following land use alternative is suggested: MU-1 at 12th Street, both sides of the creek and at 25th Street; a green node at the creek; and MU-2 in all other places.

Having the same intensity throughout the corridor will make the entire streets more of a destination, and commercial space is important to support the adjacent residential area.

4. I prefer new development on State Street be…

A node at 25th Street will help create a gateway to the area.

Nodes are only desired if they are somewhat flexible.

New development should be concentrated on nodes so long as there is no zoning incentive for a business to open up far at the east end and effectively be isolated if this development plan is not uniformly successful.

A nodal focus should be confined to a contiguous block.

The southern addition should be added to the West End Focus with the eastern addition.

5. On the west end of State Street, I prefer the area south of State Street…

It should be four stories, but ground-floor retail should not be required.

Having MU-1 as the southern addition would draw more business closer to downtown edge.

The southern addition should be zoned whatever is more flexible to attract businesses, as businesses are preferred over housing there.

The southern addition should be higher intensity so long as the mixed use requires some residential.

The southern addition would be an amazing opportunity for pedestrian access to businesses, but traffic is an issue.

The southern addition is prime land for former commercial use.

Other

There is concern about MU-1 on Ferry Street in the block of 15th and 16th Streets where there is a neighborhood of older homes and diverse residents.

It would have been helpful to hear more about the pros and cons of each option and the rationale for suggesting them.

There is a concern about property values.

The loss of low-income housing is a concern; affordable housing should be required.

The corridor should be mixed-use without four stories.

The West End focus would create too much traffic.

WRITTEN COMMENTS: STREET DESIGN


Walkability and bikeability must be improved.

If State Street remained four lanes, it would not be pedestrian friendly for all of the housing.

Keeping four travel lanes is too auto oriented and is too much traffic for pedestrians to cross.

The current width, especially after 17th Street, is the main cause of this street’s miserable condition.


September 27, 2016



The street must remain four lanes at the office at 2339 State Street.

Two lanes would bottleneck traffic, and cyclist should use side streets to connect to existing bike lanes.

Four lanes should not remain; if we go to the trouble of making a walkable corridor, why keep a fast-moving, four-lane road rumbling through the center?

Four lanes encourage and perpetuates excess speeding going east on State Street.

State Street should remain four lanes with more pedestrian enhancements and some bike facilities, and the speed limit should be changed to 25 mph from 12th to 25th Street

There must be parking on both sides.

7. If State Street remain four travel lanes, should new signals or enhanced pedestrian crossings be added at 19th and 21st Streets?

Signals might help break up traffic to allow cars to enter. State Street, and if provided, there should be one at 21st Street SE because it is a collector.

There needs to be additional pedestrian crossings, but there is uncertainty over whether new traffic signals are needed.

Enhanced pedestrian crossings hurt traffic more than traffic signals.

A pedestrian crossing at 19th Street is necessary for safety, but a signal at 21st Street will encourage too much traffic to cut from State Street to Center Street.

Either new signals or enhanced pedestrian crossings should be added at 19th and 21st Street depending on traffic studies.

An enhanced pedestrian crossing should only be at 13th Street.

8. Should State Street be two

travel lanes with a center turn lane throughout the entire corridor (i.e., Road Diet)?

While a road diet is liked, there are concerns about impacts a road diet would have on cut-through traffic on neighborhood streets.

A road diet would be the best balance of modes, safer and possibly slow traffic.

Traffic needs to be kept out of the neighborhoods.

With a road diet, outdoor seating and parking is preferred over biking.

Parking should not be removed.

A road diet should only be done if there is some way to include off-street parking.

The road diet will best enhance the general quality of life along the whole street, and it will make it attractive to move people than the other options.

This would be disastrous to the use of the property at 2339 State Street (office and apartments), and any reduction from four lanes would make a left turn in or out of the office extremely difficult.

Some off-site parking areas would enhance the walkability/bike use of the area.

If there are incentives for new businesses, we should be prepared for vastly increased traffic.


September 27, 2016


8. Should State Street be two travel lanes with a center turn lane throughout the entire corridor (i.e., Road Diet)?

A road diet will slow traffic, increase safety, allow bike lanes, and avoids transition traffic issues between three and four lanes. It will also preserve safety for residents up to 25th Street who cross streets at intersections.

Vibrant sidewalks and café culture are a priority.

A road diet will make the entire street consistent and attractive. It must have on-street parking to attract businesses. A single-lane will slow traffic, which isn’t bad. There should be landscaping in section of the median.

9. Should State Street be two travel lanes with a center turn lane only on the west end between 12th and 17th Street?

The Hybrid approach would leave the section of 17th to 24th Street as it is today, the ugliest section of the corridor, and it would not support land use changes on the west end.

The Hybrid approach should be explored for the whole corridor.

The Hybrid approach is not preferred, but it would be better than having four lanes throughout the corridor.

The Hybrid approach is more feasible and better able to handle traffic.

The Hybrid approach is preferred with pedestrian enhancements on the west end.

The Hybrid approach will limit egress for residents that use Ferry and 17th Street.

A road diet should be for the whole corridor.

10. If State Street is two travel lanes with a center turn lane, what should be added to the street?

A cyclist prefers to see Chemeketa and Mill streets developed for bikes, not on State Street.

It looks like bike lanes could be routed one block on either side of State Street.

With a road diet, the City should consider bike lanes with a narrow plant strip between 17th and 24th Street, as opposed to bike lanes with a slightly wider sidewalk.

Providing comfortable space for residents should be a priority, and avoid having street amenities on one side and parking lots on the other (e.g., River Road in Keizer).

Wider sidewalks and bike lanes are desired with a road diet.

A road diet with pedestrian enhancements is more pleasant with increased businesses.

If there are two travel lanes, there will be too much traffic, and no one will want to go park and walk.

This avoids increased traffic by bikes through residential areas.

Bike lanes will not make it attractive to commercial development, and it will eliminate on-street parking.

Other

There are concerns about parking. Can shared parking be required? There are a lot of parking lots along State Street, but uses is restricted.

There should be the option of head-in parking between 17th and 25th Street.

None of the street design options show on-street parking from 17th to 25th Street, and if mixed-use development is desired in this section, how can retail be viable without accommodate parking for retail?


September 27, 2016


Other

Traffic is a big concern.

There is a problem on 23rd Street NE with speeding and increased traffic.

Where will commercial business patrons park? Will they be pushed to side streets/residential?

Crossing State Street at 13th Street feels like playing frogger; can that distance be narrowed or a bump out be added? Anything to slow traffic would be great.

There must be on-street parking to make it attractive for people to come.

The following is a suggested revision to the road diet with bike lanes design for 17th to 24th Street: 11-foot lanes, 10-foot center turn lane, 5.5-foot bike lanes, 2.5-foot planter strip, 6-foot sidewalks.

OTHER PUBLIC COMMENTS

Land Use

A property owner wants to know how the new zones would impact his property.

The City should look at interesting regional architecture as a starting point for design standards or develop a design vocabulary.

Increased heights should be allowed between 12th and 14th streets to give opportunity for signature buildings and a denser place. Developers should be given the proposed code to see if it is economic to build what is proposed (4 story mixed use versus 6 story).

The southern addition should be included in the preferred alternative.


September 27, 2016

Land Use

More density and higher buildings (MU1) are preferred because it is better to go up instead of going out (outside edges of Salem); however, the market is not strong now. Both mixed-use zones encourage more housing, which would go well with three lanes, but there is uncertainty about whether more housing should be on State Street. What could work would be higher density local commercial uses (grocery/stores) on State Street with multifamily housing behind the street in the neighborhoods.

When property is rezoned, the residential neighborhoods to the north and south of State Street should be protected. Developers should not be able to buy up residential properties (whole north-south block on State Street) and dump traffic from redeveloped properties into neighborhood streets.

Mixed-use zoning should be on the whole corridor, and three to four stories is okay, but the City should avoid the canyon effect.

The whole eastern portion of State Street should be MU1 (not nodes) to result in more concentration of activity because that way, more people will want to go there, and it will be a more cohesive place.

The neighborhoods to the north and south of State Street must be protected. They should not be upzoned.

The City should not impose zoning that is not compatible with the NEN-SESNA Neighborhood Plan, and the West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition is more consistent with that plan.

Three- or four-story buildings would cast a shadow on homes on Court Street, so a two-story maximum height is desired.

The NEN-SESNA Neighborhood Plan calls for context-sensitive designs, development that is compatible with neighborhoods, and pocket parks on State Street. Those recommendations can be interpreted to support lower heights on State Street.

Visuals or photos of example development under the proposed zoning should be shown to the public, and this should include a visual of a building on State Street next to homes behind State Street.

Even though the Entire Corridor Nodal Focus alternative was favored by an enormous percentage, the West End Nodal Focus with Eastern Addition alternative should still be considered.

Street Design

If bike lanes do not fit on State Street, it is important to address how cyclists will access businesses and how effective Mill and Chemeketa streets are as bike boulevards.

A roundabout at State and 25th streets could be studied, as eliminating the signal there would reduce the desire for people to drive fast northbound on 25th Street.

An informal poll at a SESNA meeting resulted in about 15 people in favor of a road diet and one person wanting to retain four lanes.


September 27, 2016

Street Design

There are concerns about going to three lanes because eastbound traffic backs up every day, it is difficult to turn left into our property, and there is a high volume of visits.

A majority of the business owners in a condo association on State Street are not in favor of removing traffic lanes and wonder what traffic will be like on Mission, Center and other east-west streets. If a road diet is pursued, they strongly encourage increased sidewalk width, more lights, more stop lights or minimum of two pedestrian crosswalks, trees planted at key locations, traffic slowed (25 mph). They do not support bike lanes on State Street.

TSP calls for Family Friendly Bikeways on Chemeketa and Mill streets and bike lanes on State Street from 12th to 24th street, and there are different types of cyclists and they take different routes. Bike lanes serve as a buffer between pedestrians and vehicles, and they reduce the number of bikes on sidewalks. Many tenants of a property on 14th and State Street do not own cars.

Small businesses might prefer a road diet because traffic will be slower, but residents who go east-west might not. There are questions about what is gained by doing the hybrid approach because there might be different needs between the east and west sides of State Street.

If a road diet is chosen, the City needs to work on the lights and sync them, so people can get in and out of properties. Bike/pedestrians paths that are separated from traffic by a curb but are on the street level (like in Europe) are desired, but it wouldn’t work on State Street.

Crossing State Street at 25th Street is dangerous, and school children cross there throughout the day.

With three lanes, people won’t be able to turn into and out of businesses at rush hour. State Street should be widened to add bike lanes.

Two travel lanes will be tough, but a center turn lane would be great. Perhaps State Street should be widened a little on each side to create bike lanes.

Maybe more people will notice the businesses on State Street is traffic slows down. The place will be better if more people walk around the area.

Three lanes could lead to a lot of congestions at 4 p.m., but there is a desire for more pedestrians and pedestrian improvements on State Street. It is difficult to cross State Street now, and pedestrian islands like those on 17th Street would be helpful.

If the lanes are narrowed to three, traffic will go somewhere else, and traffic everyone is getting bad.

Speeding is a problem, so converting to three lanes would slow traffic.

A road diet is desired on State Street, and if there are no bike lanes on State Street, the bike routes on parallel streets must be attractive and bike-centered. Bike routes should have treatments to discourage cut-through traffic (e.g., crossing on NE Going Street in Portland).


September 27, 2016

Street Design

Traffic needs to be discouraged from cutting through neighborhoods on east-west streets. Traffic should use other streets like Mission Street and Market Street.

Has cut-through traffic been considered an issue on 18th Street if a road diet is conducted?

Trees of different species should be planted on State Street

The City should consider a roundabout at the intersection of 25th and State Street as it could slow traffic and act as a gateway to the area.

Parking

Lewiston, Idaho bans parking overnight near a large dorm downtown to manage parking, and the same could be done on State Street if there is a large student dorm on State Street in the future.

Parking needs to be better managed near 12th and 13th Street. Angled parking is okay, but meters are not.

The City should look into restricting parking in adjacent neighborhoods, so that people cannot park on the street overnight (e.g., no parking between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.).

Parking requirements should be lowered because the people who are going to be attracted to State Street will want to walk there.

Other

A roundabout at State Street and 25th could be studied as eliminating the signal there would reduce the desire for people to drive fast northbound on 25th Street.

State Street should be one-way going east from Front Street to 24th Street, and it should be only three lanes from 12th to 24th Street to increase the buffer for pedestrians and make it easier for bus drivers and passengers. Chemeketa Street should be one-way going west, which would increase the desire of people to walk State Street.

Buildings and land along State Street should be well maintained, including trees and bushes not hanging over the sidewalk. Buildings on Ferry Street should be well maintained, trees should be pruned, and a sidewalk should be installed on the north side from 12th to 23rd Street.

The alley between State Street and Court Street NE east of 14th Street be closed to prevent “vagrants” from using it.

There is interest in redeveloping/improving 2346-2368 State Street into a mixed-use development, establishing a park near the creek, improving the properties, etc., but they are in the floodplain and it is unclear what can be done.

A business on State Street was unaware of the project and asked what input from businesses have provided.

There are concerns about displacing current residents.

Why does State Street vary in width?

Does any part of State Street 96 feet wide as required for major arterials in the Salem Transportation Systems Plan?

State Street used to be three lanes (portion) and was changed to four lanes in the 80s or 90s to add capacity. State Street was built for the traffic of the 60s or 70s and the street is busier now.

Speeding is a big problem on State Street. Bikes now ride on the sidewalk or with traffic, and a bike lane is needed so it is safe enough for bicyclists. Enforcement is needed. Traffic


September 27, 2016

Other

is needed to go by a business on State Street because that is how people know about it.

There is excitement about the project and the fact that the neighborhoods are taking ownership of the area and want to improve it.

It would be great to make State Street more modern.

A property owner wants to make sure the City is not taking his property.

There should be bike parking at the intersections of the north-south streets, so bikes can use the parallel routes and ride north/south to State Street and then park their bikes and walk to their destinations.

Flooding is a concern, and rain gardens and bioswales should be installed on State Street.

At the public meeting, there was not the opportunity for the small groups to report out their discussions, and some people did not have clickers to vote on the questions.
