Attached to the Addendum is a copy of the professional services proposal from Lawson-Fisher Associates P.C. to provide project design services for the development of construction drawings and right-of-way plans for the development of the connector roadway. In December 2002, the Redevelopment Commission approved and confirmed by resolution the designation of the South Side Development Area. As part of the development process, the staff working with a local consulting firm developed a land use and infrastructure master plan for the entire development area. One of the infrastructure concepts that was proposed in the plan was the Main-Lafayette Crossover. The purpose of the crossover was to move south bound Main Street traffic to Lafayette Boulevard which was to become a new signalized intersection and entrance into the proposed Erskine Commons development. The crossover would also have an east-west component that would connect Michigan Street into the Kerasotes Theater complex to allow development of outlot parcels at the theater site as well as bring more visibility and access to the theater. In 2010, as part of a refresh of the infrastructure element of the master plan, the crossover project was re-studied and location of the crossover roundabout was moved to the north and the connector leg to the east was moved to connect into Barbie Street extended. Lawson-Fisher Associates P.C. was the firm involved with the redesign and schematic process for this project. Because of the success of the Erskine Commons site and the overall health of the TIF Allocation Area in the South Side Development Area, funding will be available over a period of years to complete this project and create new development sites, improved infrastructure and circulation within this section of the development area. The next step in the process for this project is to complete construction drawings and right-of-way plans to assist in right-of-way acquisition and design. Staff requests approval of Resolution 2749 and the Addendum To Master Agency Agreement for the Main-Lafayette Connector Project. What We Do Today Makes A Difference!
