Agenda Item  
VIII. D.  Approve Proposal from Kimley Horn to Build Upon the Previously Prepared 
Downtown Master Plan by Preparing Schematic Designs, Developing a Pattern 
Book, and Refining Priorities/Phases.  
 
Overview 
A downtown master plan was prepared during 2020 showing high level concepts of street/parking 
and sidewalk/pedestrian improvements, traffic calming measures, landscaping/streetscaping, way 
finding signage designs, among other design elements for the downtown area. To build upon that 
master plan from concept to actual, Kimley Horn has prepared a proposal (attached) to: 
 
• prepare schematic designs within the study area to show street widths, sidewalk widths, 
parking, pavement markings, and landscape areas including street tree locations/standards. 
 
• develop a pattern book showing standard designs, graphic examples, and manufacture rs of 
sidewalk materials/brick patterns, street light poles, traffic signal arms, street signage, 
wayfinding signage, trash receptacles, benches, bike racks, pedestrian signals, and trees to 
maintain consistency throughout the downtown area. The pattern book would also have  a 
typical on-street dining layout and landscape treatments for intersection corners. 
 
• prepare a phasing plan and map to align the various phases with anticipated funding.  
 
This project was included in the approved FY 2025- 26 Capital Improvement Fund budget at 
$50,000. If approved, the project would be completed in about four months or during November, 
2025. During development of the schematic designs, pattern book, and phasing plan, we will obtain 
comments and feedback from numerous stakeholders such as city officials, city department heads, 
county officials, Main Street, TWU, Chamber of Commerce, downtown business owners, among 
other interested parties to ensure this project receives vital input.  
 
Following discussion during the July 7, 2025 work session, the consensus was to place this item 
on the July 15, 2025 regular session consent agenda for approval.  
 
Action to Consider 
Motion, second, and majority vote are needed to approve  the proposal from Kimley Horn to 
prepare schematic designs, develop a pattern book, and refine priorities/phases of the downtown 
area in preparation for future construction.
