New projects are being planned and property owners are renovating their older buildings. And,other changes are in the works.The portions of Main Avenue and Bronson Way that cross through the Downtown area will soon be two-way streets and there are future plans to convert other powntown one-way couplets into two-way streets. With these improvements comes the opportunity to significantly upgrade Downtown's streetscapes in a tonsistent and efficient way. The set of streetscape design standards and guidelines in this document provides a tool kit for City staff, property owners and developers to use in designing improvements to the public realm in Downtown. While the recommendations are specific to the Downtown core as delineated in the figure on page 7,it is assumed that a similar set of standards will be developed for other sections of Renton's�ity Center. The recommended street and public realm elements, treatments and surfaces described in this document are intended to address the following objectives. Provide a more consistent urban design signaturethat reinforces the Downtown's identity Forthis reason,a relatively limited palette of elements and treatments is recommended. Limiting the street fixture colors to black or silver-grey metal will also increase a sense of unity. To increase design consistency,recommended street elements are the same or similar to those of recent projects such as the Piazza,the transit center and others within the City of Renton. For example,the pedestrian luminaire fixtures are in the same design family as those for the recent Rainier Avenue improvements and the Cedar RiverTrail. While the streetscape palette is relatively simple,emphasis is placed on high quality features that will upgrade the Downtown's overall visual character. Facilitate maintenance and reduce long term costs The recommended fixtures and surfaces are proven to be durable and low maintenance. The furnishings selected offer a range of aesthetic options, while maintaining consistent, high-quality finishes. Provisions for landscape maintenance have been considered, and the recommended lighting system is limited to two locally sourced fixtures to minimize replacement requirements. Special paving is minimized in order to make it easier to match new and existing pavements and to facilitate patching and repair costs. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 4 Respond to local context �� While design consistency is a primary objective,streetscapes should also respond t< __... '�; the individual street's width,function,and activities,as well as surrounding buildinu �' 4 , �� and open spaces. Therefore some flexibility is provided by listing different option `° �� for certain elements. For example, it is often appropriate that benches"fit in"wit� � ��w �; �� the architectural character of adjacent buildings,so the standards include a variety c ��` �� . ,._ K ;, ��. b e n c h d e s i g n s.

Buildings in the historic core have a different feel than some contemporar V � ' �� buildings that are located dose to the transit center. To respond to the differen � ��. y characters,options for street furniture with a historic and contemporary character are � provided. , ''� '-- Promote pedestrian safety,access and comfort The recommendations are consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and�rime Prevention through Environmental Design(CPTED)principles. The lighting system will provide pedestrian scaled street lighting with appropriate lighting levels and uniformity. Extended sidewalks (curb bulbs) and raised intersections will also improve pedestrian access and safety. Street trees and amenities will also greatly enhance the pedestrian experience. ��,. Enhance the Downtown's economic activity Carefully designed, pedestrian-oriented streetscapes can play an important role in invigorating Downtown's economy as well as enhancing its identity. Streetscape �' improvements in similar downtown settings have been shown to increase retail � ,�, ,�,. sales,sometimes up to 10 to 12%,when coupled with other marketing and business � � �� promotion activities. With the construction of the Piazza, Renton Pavilion Event -- r,,'=. ' '. � Center ("Pavilion"), transit center, Rainier Avenue streetscape, the Cedar River Trail, �:,� 4. �..� � , and other improvements,the City already has a head start in creating an attractive ��'� public realm within the Downtown and City Center areas. Additionally, measures to increase housing in Downtown and leverage the activity at The Landing to the north are opportunities to pursue. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 5 PROCESS The development of these standards and guidelines involved a joint City staff/ consultant team effort. Department staff members responsible for constructing and/ or maintaining public realm improvements were consulted throughout the process. In order to build on recent public realm improvements, the consultant team first inventoried existing street elements and identified some preliminary considerations to address in recommending design standards. The team reviewed these with staff at two interdepartmental team(IDT)meetings. Two design efforts arose during the process that provided timely and very useful case studies with which to test the applicability of proposed streetscape standards: The Lofts at Second and Main development and the Main Avenue South conversion to two- way traffic project.Additionally,the expertise provided by the designers of these two was very helpful. The staff/consultant team met with the designers of those projects to explore the implications of those projects and identify a street element palette that was equally applicable to both public and private developments. Based on this input,the consultant and Community and Economic Development staff explored different options and street design concepts with respect to the individual streets and sub-districts within the Downtown and refined a preliminary set of design feature options. Finally,the team met individually with the staff of the Public Works and Community Services departments to discuss issues related to constructability, safety and maintenance while preparing this document. Development of these guidelines was determined to be a priority implementation , task of the City Center Community Plan Advisory Board("Board"),as it seeks to ensure �,, the City Center Community Plan,adopted in 2011, and its actions and strategies are advanced.As such,the consultant team reviewed the project with the Board early in its development,and utilized Board comments in developing a final draft. The final draft was endorsed by the Board,prior to presentation to the City's Planning Commission for review and to the City Council for adoption. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 6 USING THE DOCUMENT This document has been designed for City staff, Downtown property owners and developers, and engineering and design consultants to illustrate the types of infrastructure and streetscape elements that are desired with future Downtown improvements. The following pages present information regarding the desired style, location and spacing of a variety of streetscape elements commonly found or planned for powntown. Any project that includes streetscape improvements will be reviewed and officially approved by City staff prior to construttion or installation. This document provides information to help streamline the project development and approval process. Applicants are encouraged to cite this document in their submittal of information to the City. This document includes three primary sections: 1.Streetscape Character:Evaluates Downtown as a whole and every Downtown block to create a"streetscape typology"to allow the character of Downtown's sub- districtsto be highlighted bystreetscapeelementsand placemakingopportunities. 2. Streetscape Elements: Establishes standard elements that will be required as new development and public improvements occur; guidelines for designing streetscape improvements and the City's approval of them;and special treatment options that would allow more unique appearances in streetscape areas. 3. Placemaking: Provides ideas for turning streetscape areas into active and passive public spaces by utilizing additional character-inspiring features,such as parklets,public art and wayfinding signage. For more information or questions about the applicability of the standards and guidelines,contact the City's Department of Community and Economic Development: phone:425-430-7294 or email:planningcustomerservice@rentonwa.gov. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 7 � . .. : i �. . ��. ��, .: . ...a . .:� . . . , . . , . . . I DOWNTOWN CONTEXT In order to understand how to provide a safer and more consistent streetscape experience,this study reviewed streets throughout Downtown, and established street typologies to better describe the streetscape character of Downtown. These typologies take into account both the existing context of Downtown, as well as how the streets may evolve as new development brings new commercial and residential uses to the area. The figure shown at right illustrates the study's assessment of Downtown's streets. The following pages describe in more detail the characteristics of the different streetscape types. Highlights • Downtown's historic core is located east of Burnett Avenue,and is concentrated between Houser Way and South 2nd Street. • A civic block at the center of Downtown links the Transit Center, Piazza and a proposed festival street segment along 3rd Street. • To the west, along South 2nd Street and south of the railroad, streetscapes are anticipated to transition towards contemporary mixed-use streets over time as redevelopment occurs. • The northwest section of Downtown includes a boulevard streetscape,with a planted median and large,mature trees fronting the Renton High School property. Some design elements specified in these standards and guidelines, such as tree grates and street lights, are consistent throughout Downtown.Other elements, such as benches, should vary from sub-district to sub-district.This is to provide better design continuity but also to encourage some variety,especially where a street has distinctive character,such as in the historic area.

', `� OVERVIEW A wide variety of individual elements contribute to the overall streetscape experience. From infrastructure elements and treatments, such as curb alignments and pavement treatments, to surface elements, such as furnishings, each element plays a unique and important function,while also contributing to the overall aesthetics of Downtown. This section provides a description of the most common streetscape elements that are found within Downtown, and guidance on the selection and placement of these various elements according to the street types outlined in the previous section. In some cases,City standards across all streetscapes will provide unity and cohesion throughout Downtown. In other cases, some variety of detail is encouraged to promote a dynamic streetscape that supports a strong mix of civic, commercial and residential uses. ORGANIZATION AND APPLICABILITY Generally,the Standards and Guidelines provide three sections with different levels of specificity and applicability for each streetscape element: 1.Intent statements at the beginning of each major section describe the public objectives related to the elements in that section. They also serve as criteria for the City to use when considering any exception to the standards. 2. Downtown Standards are mandatory requirements to be implemented with new development in accordance with Renton Municipal Code,Chapter 4. They must be adhered to unless the City determines that an exception is to be made. Exceptions will only be made if they adhere to the intent statements and provide a public benefit. 3. Design Guidelines are additional considerations to be addressed when locating, selecting or designing streetscape improvements. They are to be followed unless the City finds that there is a compelling reason to the contrary.For some elements,a fourth section may be provided: 4.Special Treatments Options provide for special or unusual situations or conditions. Where the imperative voice or the term"shall”is used in the provision,the statement is mandatory if the condition applies. In other cases,the treatment or option may be employed if the special condition applies. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 1z AUTHORITY Pursuant to Renton Municipal Code (RMC} Section 4-6-06, the City has adopted the standards of this document as requirements for projects within the area mapped on page 9 of this document.

A. SURFACES A1 . INTENT Consistent,safe and durable walking and driving surfaces are critical to both the function and aesthetics of any downtown street. These guidelines present a series of practical design solutions for powntown Renton's sidewalks and crosswalks, which will bring a more cohesive aesthetic to the area,while controlling maintenance needs over time. In general,all surfaces and surface treatments within Downtown shall: a.Provide safe attractive pavements and surfaces; b.Provide for universal accessibility;and c.Contribute to a constant design character within the Downtown,allowing for special treatments on Civic streets. A2. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS • All surfaces must meet ADA requirements for universal accessibility. • Nearly all trips begin and end as a pedestrian.Project designs should give high consideration to the pedestrian realm to ensure that surface designs are clear,safe and inviting to all users. ..., .. � �, ,., r �` � �� ..� �: � .�� 9 ,. _ _ . 5,� �- - __ -- . __ ,j . : , ,,. , , ,.

CURB EXTENSIONS DOWNTOWN STANDARDS Where the City determines they are desirable, install curb extensions as part of required street improvements. �urb extensions improve the pedestrian realm by shortening the road crossing and expanding the width of sidewalks. Most commonly located at intersections,curb buibs mayalso be strategically located tofacilitate mid-block crossings.Pedestrians waiting to cross at curb bulbs are often more visible to drivers,as they are safely within the driver's view corridor, rather than being in the peripheral area. Because curb bulbs constrict the width of the street at crossings,they may also provide a traffic calming effect on traffic.

POLES & UTI LITI ES B1 . INTENT The intent of the standards and guidelines in this section is to: Ia.Accommodate necessary infrastructure; b.Improve aesthetic appeal of poles and utilities; c.Minimize the visual impact of poles and utilities; d.Maximize multiple use of poles in order to minimize the number of poles;and e.Contribute to the overall aesthetic of the streetscape. B2. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS • Pedestrian-scale lighting shall be required Downtown to promote public safety, and to create a more inviting streetscape during evening hours. • Locate above-grade structures outside of the clear walk zone,to allow for safe pedestrian circulation. • Uniformity is important,particularly with vertical elements,such as streetlights. • Cross-discipline coordination during a project's design is helpful to ensuring the spacing and setback requirements of multiple vertical streetscape elements(e.g.streetlights,pedestrian lights, street trees,crosswalk signals,etc.)are met. • Minimize the number and size of poles and other structures,and lookfor +F y opportunities for poles and structures to serve additional functions,such �' � as signage and/or placemaking. • The location of poles shall consider the location of existing and proposed ° utilities to ensure required separation from the utilities is met, prevent damage to the utilities,and allow for access and the ability to maintain the utilities. �� , 'z4',� � : � -� ."Lr" ... _ e. - �. � w' ,�. �� }�^�� ''" _ — ----=.w. :1s ��.. ; ��..,�,,,.,,.+ w a Signal and street light poles typically perform a variety of functions Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines zz B3.

Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines z5 C. FURNISHINGS C1 . INTENT There are already numerous types and styles of street furnishings in Downtown.These standards and guidelines seek to establish a higher degree of uniformity, while allowing some variation where there is already an established design theme,such as on Civic Streets.This document also illustrates key relationships between some ofthe most common street furnishings,and shows how these elements can be choreographed to promote a safe and lively public realm.In general, streetscape furnishings within Downtown shail: a.Enhance the pedestrian experience; b.Provide for functional needs,such as waste disposal,bicycle parking,etc; c.Allow for a variety of streetscape elements that help define and enhance specific sub-districts within Downtown;and d.Reflect a high quality in terms of design and maintenance. C2. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS • In order to add variation and interest to the streetscape realm without increasing visual clutter,all furnishings shown in the following pages should be a black or natural finish. • The location of streetscape furnishings should maintain a consistent clear walk zone for pedestrians, particularly on streets with limited rights-of-way.See individual furnishings for additional location guidance. i�' � , ,.�� '��a �� p k �� k � :k� ��'; y ��'��°�� t { �a*� fi,'Y4:�� ,� � � �� ,��: � �� {y� ' , � � , r -; ti �� _.„�a< � � +.'� a�?. ,."`'/� y � �� =, 'wN-., a..,.

INTENT Planting areas along a streetscape provide aesthetic and functional benefits to a downtown area.Trees and other vegetation I help to clean and cool the surrounding air, and offer shade to pedestrians and cars parked along a streetscape. When thoughtfully planted,trees and other vegetation along the street can help to calm traffic,as it provides a clue to drivers that there may be pedestrians in the area.Specially-designed planting areas can also provide on-site stormwater management and treatment solutions. Beyond the purely functional elements, attractive streetscape plantings can help draw customers to nearby shops and restaurants. Finally, creatively-designed streetscapes contribute substantially to an area's sense of place, drawing both return and new visitors, which, in turn, can raise the economic vitality of an area.The intent of these standards and guidelines is to: a.Enhance the pedestrian environment by adding shade,colo�,texture and visual interest; b.Soften conditions of heavily trafficked streets;and c.Improve air quality,moderate surface temperature,and help manage stormwater runoff. D2. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS • Landscapes shall meet the requirements established by RMC 4-4-070 LANDSCAPING. • Low-maintenance,drought tolerant plants are encouraged throughout Downtown,and required for any streetscape planting that will be maintained by the City or contractors employed by the City. • Routine maintenance is a necessity for healthy,attractive streetscape plantings. • Streetscape planting areas shall meet all ADA requirements and should consider the height clearances and sightline guidelines established by Crime Prevention through Environmental Design(CPTED)principles. • Select plant species that will not infringe on vehicle sightlines,particularly at intersections. • The location of landscape planting shall consider the location of existing and proposed utilities to ensure required separation from the utilities are met,prevent damage to the utilities,and allow for access and the ability to maintain the utilities.

STREETSCAPE PLANTING AND MAINTENANCE DESIGN GUIDELINES • Use iayered planting designsthat include groundcovers,low shrubs,and trees(where possible)throughout Downtown. • Feature primarily evergreen or semi-evergreen species, and limit the use of deciduous species. Mix colors,textures and seasonal interest to provide year-round character. • Use primarily perennial plants,although some annual plants may be used. • Partially or completely remove existing laurel hedges in curb extensions with new streetscape improvements, and replace with new plantings. • Select plants that,at maturity,will be the appropriate size for the streetscape.Plants should be low-growing and no more than 30 in tail,to ensure safe,clear sightlines.Plants within 30 ft of an intersection should be less than 24 in tall. • Adding tough,dense plantings at the edge of the planter can help minimize foot tratfic impacts. • Protect plantings with planter fencing on soils in high pedestrian traffic areas. • Reduce the impact of dog misuse by adding landscape strip fences,and/or incorporating rockscape areas at edges of plantings.Signage discouraging misuse may also be considered. • Use species that are low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. • Take maintenance practices and responsibilities into account in all designs,and tailor the plant selections accordingly. • Refer to RMC 4-4-070 LANDSCAPING for more detailed guidance on landscape, irrigation and maintenance requirements. • Prune branches and overhanging foliage to maintain an 8 ft min. clearance above finish grade of the sidewalk for safety and clear sightlines. • Consider existing and proposed utilities when locating and selecting any streetscape plantings. . �; ,� �/� �, � ��,. � �x *,� ;.r��.., �� .W ,� � ,h; , �� '�� r`',�' �: "` , �w. : ��' „ , �� " t�'` , ,, n� �' . �" • ':� ,.� � ' �°� �� ' � �. � � � �� `` � �,.�`�� ,�' �, �',� �� a�+. �,�^., .

Ultimately, it will be the use of streetscape elements recommended by these guidelines intertwined with placemaking opportunities as well as architecturai elements,that will define Downtown,enhance its character,and reinforce it as the heart of the City and an attractive districtto visit and enjoy.From functional and formalized uses,such as signage,streateries and parklets,to temporary uses,such as a weekend street festivai,and temporary seating along a sidewalk, placemaking can take a range of forms. All of these approaches offer opportunities for creative expression and public art, which can further define and enhance the character of Downtown. INTENT The following pages offer some examples of ways the streetscape area can be used to make Downtown Renton a more unique place to live,work or visit.This list is not comprehensive,and should be thought of only as a starting point towards more creative engagement with Downtown Renton's streets and public realm.The intent of this section is to: a.To enhance the city's Downtown and unique identity; b.To provide formal and informal places for people to gather,rest,meet friends and enjoy the outdoors; c.To activate and enhance Downtown's pubiic realm through the intermingling of people and business activities;and d.To provide a flexible,broad spectrum of open spaces for a wide range of events,group functions and individual activities. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 42 PUBLIC SPACES & GATHERING POINTS Downtown Renton has an existing network of formal and informal public spaces and gathering points that provide opportunities for socializing, quiet times and relaxing.These range from public parks and p�azas and private plazas off- street that may or may not be publicly accessible.Some have been purposely sited and furnished,such as the Piazza and Veterans Memorial Park. Others have naturally evolved, such as the parklet near the South 3rd Street and Main Avenue intersection.These public spaces and gathering points vary in size.New ones are currently in the works,such as the public plaza proposed as part of the Main Avenue South traffic conversion project at South 2nd Street. These spots can serve as opportunities to be interconnected through common streetscape elements, artwork andlor signage that highlight them as a part of the social fabric of Downtown.The individual character of each place should also be retained and celebrated.The special treatment and design options recommended bythese guidelines provide a starting point for enriching,defining and designing these existing and emerging public spaces. � i >+ i �� `� � � �� i � /�1 � „ �' � ♦ � 5 a� i� ♦ � '° +at �� ,� �"`� � .. � • � .. i: +� oo`'°� �,., � , � �� .. � � � � � � � .� .�. 5 2nd St � S 2nd St 1 v �, `^ a' E � 1 a, Q �, c ¢ a � `^ v �n I �� o Q o � Q Q � ; ♦ N Q > �" ¢ ¢ I� i t c � y � — '�► � 3 0 m ��, � E � E � m •� � •� E �r�► � S 3rd St � • •S 3rd St ; ��., I � r� � #i � � � � � �r � �. � e� e� � +� S � > � o�se��a� � � �� a,� a 1 s�sj N � �� r I # o�� f � �° S 4th St � �F E S 4th St �' * "�, ` � �; �� , E � `� S, � ' �.. �t�I � � �� :� r � r � rcc � �. �� ,, : . .. , . � , � ' . � � � � � r � � • � I � � _ � � �'a . t 3 ., . . y �� • �;; . .'-�� ,.. ..� ,'�� ', , `;;�: 5 Sth St <� � ati �� s, �� a. �, --'��+ �x �� '� _. � � �<._�� , .k� k�� Central Public ParWPlaza °�� Public Park P Proposed � Linear Park/Medians • Public Parklet E Existing Private Plaza • Public Plaza (Open to Public) Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 43 PARKLETS, STREATERI ES & FESTIVAL STREETS In recent years,people in cities across the U.S.have become interested in creative uses ofthe street that provide more space for pedestrian activities. Parklets,temporary installations approximately the space of 1-2 parking spaces,are one way that pedestrian improvements are taking root. Most parklets are designed to be removable and some instailations last only a few days. However,in cities such as San Francisco,Seattle and others,parklets are becoming a semi-permanent part ofthe streetscape.Often hosted by a local business,cafe or restaurant,these unique spaces expand and enhance the pedestrian experience. Following in the parklet tradition,streateries are simply parklets that support an adjacent cafe or restaurant by providing outdoor seating and other amenities for customers.The City of Renton recently developed guidelines for Sidewalk Cafes, which includes information for those interested in installing a park�et or Streatery. ��R v ; � °"� �' � , �r� `\ � <. � ` � , �� .

Parklets offer more creative opportunities for gathering and seating than can otherwise be accommodated on a traditional streetscape. Parklets can extend the public realm in urban environments,such as Downtown Renton,where sidewalk widths are constrained.In the Northwest, parklets are most commonly used to extend the streetscape,and provide more space for pedestrians,often in association with local businesses or restaurants. Streateries,or parklets hosted and used by adjacent restaurants,is a specific type of parklet that is discussed on the next page. DESIGN GUIDELINES • Because they are installed in the public right-of-way, parklets are usually designed to be somewhat temporary, and consideration should be given in design and installation so that they can be completely removed. • Materiais should be durable,and relate to or complement the surrounding context. • Parklets are most successful when installed atong low traffic volume streets or near businesses where people naturally gather. • The City of Seattle has been collecting useful data since it launched a parklet program.

By providing open-air seating for restaurant patrons on under-utilized public space, restaurants can bring in additional sales and create more vibrant and attractive streets. Streateries are similar to a sidewalk cafe in function,but are installed within the street right-of-way,like a parklet. Both are assets to a lively downtown area.

Many parks and urban plazas are moving towards more flexible seating options, as it can often attract more people than fixed benches alone. People can adjust the seating arrangement to socialize in small groups,or gain better access to sun or shaded areas.Even if the adjustment of the chair is slight,people seem drawn to spaces where they are allowed some design control of their own. �;��s� DESIGN GUIDElINES ' � �� s �,�n,� � • Chairs may need to be locked and stored overnight, and loss of some , .,� � s �. °� . � X o , 'My7 furnishings due to theft is likely.Chairs should be durable enough for the �`,� ��.y •�� Fr" x�,� public environment,but still affordable,so they can be replaced as needed. .w �r �' �r �r "�u,�,�� .

Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 46 FESTIVAL STREETS Festival streets are streets that a city designates for use during fairs,markets and other festivals that require a street closure. Festivai streets often include specific infrastructure elements,such as raised intersections and special paving treatments,to encoura9e use by pedestrians during such events.Permit processes for street closure of festival streets is often streamlined and low-cost,to ensure accessibility to smaller neighborhood events,as well as larger festivals. As shown,the StreetscapeTypology graphic on page 7,these standards and guidelines recommend constructing a"Festival StreeY'on S.Third Street from Burnett to Morris and part of Logan Ave S.The location would allow use of those streets in conjunction with the adjacent Piazza and Gateway Parks.The design guidelines below should be considered as the festival street is designed.Removable bollards and other movable elements increase flexibility. DESIGN GUIDELINES • Large planters can enhance the streetscape but can also reduce flexibility for different events. • Uniform pavements rather than patches of different pavements can increase the sense of unity. • Entry features at each end of the festival street segment can also add to the festival's identity as a special place. • Raised street segments(i.e.curbless streets)are particularly beneficial on festival streets,as they improve more flexible use,pedestrian circulation and safety during special events. • Colored toncrete or special paving details should be considered. • Integration of the street with adjacent parks and other open spaces is particularly beneficial in that it creates a larger space for events but maintains design flexibility.Use of similar street furniture,lights and other elements also help to integrate the street with other open spaces. • Use of signage or other above ground elements (string lighting, public art, stage lighting) can help decorate and promote the festival aspect of the festival street area. �. n� �� '� � „�' � t� � • � � ._ M• ,�fl�� '��i,4,��.< � y " �r . * -��-�- �G...-. . ��.. �� k.�b'�RA a . 3�,� � vv�� 4 r�tl`, ��' � . . � �.,�"A �,� �� .�...u: .- . ,.:� �, ¢ Y '� p�y'. a f... d�y i.. ,,.� MF r"T�e ._ __" i �� a� � 4 �,'�f; � w"'��, ys 7k. �"��,nw'� �,.y }�^;f� M1:.w:rL6:b�� LW ? f'� � � ,Y� , »� �� M .- "F' » � p ML�'C.t`Y� ,� �-^. g �a{ f 7y L q;�. :..pk � .�a.rt Z�• „,y �'�W t Y � mH��' �� 6" yy�� y y �,. � �� 7 { � �s � ��!"d��J ? � �� 'L'$ �p*"� � a •.r'_ �� .t` ' � � •y'�f��a��r��' :fs% � �� 4.1� IIS+'=.

Despite these constraints, slight design changes can have a large impact on the character of a downtown area, and help define it from adjacent streets.Other identification elements,including wayfinding signage,street banners,and gateway features,can work in conjunction with traffic signage but may, because of their more decorative nature,have a larger impact on emphasizing downtown as a unified area that may contain districts within.Signage and identity elements will only be effective if they are designed to be integral and work together.The number of poles used to support these elements should be kept to a minimum. WAYFINDING Wayfinding signage can help transform a Downtown street into more of a place,while also facilitating the area's use to pedestrians. Creative and professionally-designed wayfinding signage can brand Downtown as a unified district, while providing clear directions to residents and visitors to reach parking and services.The City of Renton has plans to develop a wayfinding plan for the Downtown area.Some initial design guidelines to be considered are listed below. DESIGN GUIDELINES • Locate and orient signage for maximum usability.Consider whether the sign is for pedestrians,cyclist and motorists and locate within the viewer's normal cone of vision. • Lettering should be sized to the viewer's speed,distance and contrast with the background. - Any artist's embellishment should not detract from the message.

University Way,Seattle GATEWAY FEATURES Gateway features announce the entry into a speciai,identifiable place.They can be strong identity elements,if they relate to the City's history,current character, or symbolize"Renton"and/or"Downtown"Renton's Downtown has several entry points in which demarking gateway features would be appropriate.Some primary considerations for gateway features at these points are listed below: DESIGN GUIDELINES • Gateway features should relate to something specific about Rento� such as Boeing and air travel, the Cedar River, Salmon,Renton's history,etc. • Gateway features should be substantial,but fit comfortably within the area provided. • A sequence of small elements can be an effective gateway.For example,the Boulevard fronting Renton High Schooi on S 2nd Street serves as gateway • Distinctive landscaping can enhance gateway features. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 49 PUBLIC ART Public art comes in many forms.Art can be permanent or temporary and either a stand alone piece or one designed and integrated into the streetscape design.When done well, it can create a place of congregation and enhance the overall public environment.Public art is encouraged throughout Downtown Renton,though the appearance and scale of projects should not compete with the surrounding characteristics of the area.In Renton,the Municipal Arts Commission is actively involved in the provision of public art throughout the city. KEY DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Public art is often most strong when it relates well to the surrounding context and contributes to the overall sense of place. Some key themes that underscore Renton's history and culture are: • Industry and manufacturing - Coal mining history - Historic railroad - Aerospace manufacturing - Truck and machinery manufacturing • Natural setting - Historic confluence of Black River and�edar River - Cedar River and sa►mon runs - Lake Washington shoreline - Diverse topography that shapes the city and defines neighborhoods - Prominent views of Mt.Rainier • Crossroads - Cultural diversity - Intersection oftransportation infrastructure • Athletics and Outdoors - Seahawks training center - Cedar RiverTrail/Biking • Artworkshouid be scaled in relationshipto its surroundings and sited to effectively enhance and activatethe pedestrian and streetscape experience. • Any installation should be suitable for outdoor dispiay and have minimal long-term maintenance needs. • Streetscape elements as public art opportunities,including: • Sculpture pedestals at intersections/curb-extensions. • Unique bike racks that are artistic and custom-designed for their intended locations. • Functional elements that may be turned into art:fencing,bollards,informal seating,building elements facing the public realm (door handles,awnings, planter boxes,etc) A-frame signboards,directional signage,street signage,and scoring on raised intersections or crosswalks. Downtown Streetscape Design Standards and Guidelines 50 STREETSCAPE ART Streetscape art can take many forms, from large sculptural installations to smaller details that are added to paving or other areas. Some installations may work best to highlight a single area, but also consider art elements that can be added throughout the downtown area. When placed strategically,public art can also create a narrative experience in the streetscape. For example, elements could be piaced in a linear pattern along a streetscape, inviting people to continue through to the end of the block. Conversely,public art elements could initiate a scavenger hunt throughout a downtown area. Tactile elements,with surfaces that are interesting to touch,or even recorded with chalk or crayon rubbings,can be particularly engaging for children. ��• , . ��G � ��ro� � 4„ � ;v. �'� Xi'` . `�"'° �C4•'kx 7 u � �k � � � .P � � F ; � � l �aa°.� h w,�� p� ,�'f�a�. .

TEMPORARY INSTALLATIONS Temporary art installations can also contribute significantly to the sense of place within an urban downtown.Temporary art can invite playfulness,fun and color,and encourage people to experience familiar places in new ways. Temporary art installations can also spark conversations,and encourage people to return to see future installations. An added benefit of temporary installations is that it can provide an outlet for local emerging artists to showcase their work and try new ideas. This investment is another form of community building around a downtown neighborhood,and its contribution to overall placemaking,though more subtle,can also be powerful. � � � � .� � .. n P, r 1� �"� j ;.�e. � �� "s � �1.��. . a ., �� . �� y�4y�t � � }' ��4 n ��= v �ap, .�� ,�wi��.�g; � � e � —_ .. �3� �A '�� ,. . . * � � � � � � �� h.� ' � .�°'"�.� . q �-. .

Local business and or downtown business districts are often involved in sponsoring or hosting performance events,as they tend to attract large numbers of people to an area or neighborhood.A wide range of performance art exists,from parades,to simple concerts or theatrical productions.Performance art can also be artful and creative,make use of costumes,and engage audiences directly in the performance.The images below illustrate just some of the ways performance art has been used in public spaces in the region. � �� : � _ � ��.��t��SGa�'�t �.

Similar to temporary art installations,these events can help build and support a local community of artists and patrons,which can have tremendous benefits for a downtown neighborhood. > , �� '� �, �� '� '� � '�� ' � ` �PRIL 3, 2+�? ;� : , 3 � '�5� K �'.�e w+ � C.m .� `��a� 6,pM•� « � * Q � . .� � �� t��. . .� , w .�_' � � > . . � ..a , � . a . � �' �, o,�=="� �.5�. -.._ . .f „r. . � I ��i�'k.,. �� t• � ,1� � .a.�� . �`j"" _ .�, , y��r,�� ± j�� i ,�. �'� �� - "�'C ._ �� 4 �� . ,�! .. , , , ,�^ . ,� . . , ' � .'

According to the most recent street tree inventory, maples currently comprise 35% and cherry 24% of all species. To reduce a catastrophic loss of species, experts agree that 10% or less of any species or cultivar exist within a street tree population. Because of this, planting maple or cherry trees within the right-of-way is discouraged.
