MAIN STREET SITE TOUR
MAIN STREET FINAL DESIGN STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS -
Justin Hildreth, Town Engineer, presented the format for the site tour and Kristen Cypher,
Britina Design Group, presented the overall efforts made in developing the preliminary design of
Main Street, including a review of the process and related community meetings that have
provided the basis for the programmatic design elements of the area. The final preliminary
design was reviewed in a slide presentation. After touring Main Street, there was a discussion
related to the snowmelt vs. snow removal of the area. Three options were presented which
outlined the costs related to the following: Snowmelt tubing, manual snow, capital cost,
operations & maintenance and the carbon footprint tons C02 per year. Staff noted that its
recommendation include installing the snowmelt tubing identified in Option B, with the intention
of connecting to the future waste heat recovery system. The snowmelt system would be
operated using the total square footage outlined in Option A (see memo for detailed descriptions
of options). Details of the snowmelt proposal were discussed at length and Council comments
were given. In general there was support of staff's recommendation to include the snowmelt
tubing in the construction estimates. Councilor Dantas supported the manual snow removal
option.
The items below were identified as remaining elements that would be presented at the October
meetings when 60% of the construction documents would be reviewed:
■ Finalized softscape elements
■ Finalize public art design
■ Finalized materials choices
• Construction easements
■ Private / public property agreements
■ Finalized 3D project fly thru
Comments from council were heard addressing the emphasis for artwork, the snow lighting
design, the entrance to the street from Avon road; need to integrate trees into the design, etc.
At this time Pedro Campos commented on the how the two consulting groups have worked
together to design the entrance to Nottingham park.
