MEDINA CITY COUNCIL STUDY SESSION
SUBJECT/TITLE: Adoption of Arterial Street Design Standards
CATEGORY:
❑ Consent ❑ Ordinance ❑ Public Hearing
❑ City Council Business ❑ Resolution ® Other - Discussion
STAFF REPORT BY: JOE WILLIS & ROBERT GRUMBACH
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
At the August 9th council meeting, the issue of adopting street design standards was discussed. The
topic was raised in part due to the SR 520 project where improvements associated with the
construction of the freeway and associated lids will spill over into City streets. The adoption of street
design standards should not be confused with the issue of amending Chapter 12.08.030 MMC which
deals with the state standard specifications that detail methods and materials for construction.
For the SR 520 Project, WSDOT and their Design/Build Contractor will follow state design standards
inside the SR 520 right-of-way, but in those areas outside of the highway right-of-way, City standards
will govern. Currently, the City has policies that establish an informal streetscape, but we do not have
adopted street standards.
During the council meeting, it was recommended that the City Engineer provide examples of an arterial
street standard for Council consideration which WSDOT will be required to follow within City rights -of -
way rather than defaulting to the WSDOT design manual. The attached City of Bellevue Transportation
Department Design Manual (Bellevue Design Manual) provides a good beginning point for discussion.
With the goal in mind that initial adoption of arterial street standards will need some modification by the
City Engineer to maintain and enhance the informal landscaped character of the City's public streets,
as opposed to the urban character of downtown Bellevue, it is recommended that the Council consider
adoption of the Bellevue Design Manual and authorize the City Engineer to make modifications to the
Manual that will fall more in line with the City's Comprehensive Plan goals and policies.
Additionally, the Council discussed having the Planning Commission review the City's streetscape
policies, which are found in the Medina Comprehensive Plan. A work program for streetscape policies
and standards was provided to the Council that included a review of the current goals and policies and
the non -motorized transportation plan so that more community involvement and thought can be
applied to the street standards before it is applied to all City streets. That program if acceptable will
begin this fall and extend into 2012.
