Body
Summary:
The Envision Shook's Run Master Facilities Plan (FMP) and Sustainable Infrastructure Plan (SIP) is a major multi-disciplinary infrastructure planning effort focused on approximately 4.2 miles of the Shooks Run Corridor. The FMP/SIP addresses stormwater, roads, bridges, transit needs, parks, recreation and utility improvements in the context of a holistic transformative vision plan developed via a robust public process. The plan is intended to be supportive of existing neighborhoods within the corridor and to encourage reinvestment and redevelopment especially along the lower segments. Because of the long term funding needs and implementation horizon, the SIP was created to support the corridor vision. The SIP will be administered at the staff level, but coordinated with stakeholders as appropriate. Stantec is facilitating an interdepartmental core team focused on implementing the Envision Shooks Run Facilities Master Plan.
Previous Council Action:
City Council adopted the Envision Shooks Run Facilities Master Plan February 14, 2017.
Background:
The Envision Shook's Run web site can also be accessed for additional background and information: http://www.envisionshooksrun.com/
The Corridor is divided into five (5) distinct segments based on a combination of existing and future conditions:
•Headwaters
•Residential Greenway
•Urban Waterway
•Urban Canyon
•Confluence
The complete SIP document is located on the City’s internal intranet.
Financial Implications:
Altogether, the sum total of improvements contemplated in the SIP may be in excess of $500 million. Although some of these projects and costs are particular to the “transformative” vision for the corridor, many of the projects will be required in any case to meet basic safety and infrastructure needs. The SIP provides a roadmap for adaptive funding prioritization to implement the Envision Shooks Run Facilities Master Plan.
