The Arroyo Group 5
Work Plan
Our proposed work plan is described through the task list,budget and schedule in Figure i.The task list
addresses the requirements of the scope of work described in the RFP and'is further described be(ow.
Phase 9—F±arkiet onceptual es ae
Task(Project Kick-Off Meeting) will include a kick-off ineeting to discuss items needed to begin
effectively working on the project(to be conducted in parallel to the Site Wall<scoped in Task 2).
Taskz(Site ConditionsAssessment) wili combine field observation with the City artd historical - -
background research so that the team can understand the key features of the existing historic environment
to be preserved and opportunities and challenges to consider for_the protorype parklet design options. No
formal capture of the historic discussion,findings,and results have been scoped in this_proposal.
Task3(Streetscape Design Options) Our team will prepare parklet prototype designs to help expand
streetscape dining into existing parallel parking spaces. All design features will be moveable or removeable
in application and may also include new art and placemaking ideas,as-well as potentially new greening and
shading features. Our team will collaborate with Public Works and other relevant City departments to
ensure new parklet designs include all needed safety considerations while also being aesthetically pleasing:
Our team will work with the Community Development Department and other relevant groups to explore a
parklet character direction appropriate for the surrounding historic district and one that targets a more
refined quality and crafted space. We will develop three (3) unique concept directions exploring a range of
design options and arrangements focused on supporting outdoor dining. Concept plans for the parklets
will express the proposed arrangement of new temporary elements such as:painting/striping,moveable
site furniture,planter pots,artwork/art intent,customized shade structures/prefabricated umbrellas,
protective vehicwlar barriers,raised/pedestal paving areas;and any other elements needed to complete a
comfortable and unique outdoor dining space. We assume the designs will be applied to standard parallel
parking space conditions only.
A detailed outline of the parklet guidelines document will be prepared to begin exploring the standards and
controls needed to maintain high-level craft and consistent quality for the new parklets across a range of
potential implementing parties and staggered installation timings. Initial thoughts regarding quality control
measures,implementation responsibilities,and an overall process for execution of the parklets by local
business owners will be explored. We have proposed beginning development of these importai t
guidelines,and worl<ing thraugh associated issues,at this stage of the process to be able to`design in'any
needs that may be required to address future implementation issues.
A task to study parklet shading and human comfort strategies has been included. This task will help us
better understand the range of solar conditions resulting from the different parklet options and varied
application conditions long the east-west and north-south corridors,which we anticipate wilf also have
very difFerent shade conditions depending on which side of the roadway parklets are placed. This study will
help us`design in'architectural shading solutions best suited to address ail applications. From our
experience,shade will be one of the best features we can provide to increase use and vibrancy of the
parklets during daytime hours,especially during weekend hours.
r
A draft conceptual design repor-t will be prepared to provide a full record of the design exploration and
presentation of ideas related to the parklet design options. The report may include,but not be limited to,
concept plans,sketches,conceptual details,sections/elevations,3d study modeling,analysis diagrams,
support imagery,and design narrative/methodology. The report will be an iixi7 size,color booklet.
A presentation.to City staff will be led by our team to communicate our full design process informing the
development of the parklet concept options. An important goal from this presentation will be to narrow
down,to preferred design direction for the parklets to be further developed in the next task.
Task4(Response to City Comments and Final Presentation) will involve the development of a
preferred prototype design direction and update of supporting conceptual design documentation based on
City comments. A professional-quality 3D rendering of the final design direction will be prepared to
demonstrate a photorealistic view of the parklets. A conceptual level estimate of probable costs will be
prepared for the preferred protorype direction to ensure cost expectations for implementing the parklets
are on target with City expectations: A finai presentation will be made to City staff in early December to
showcase and discuss the full concept development.
Additiona!Services(Parklet Guidelines) will build upon the draft parklet guidelines outline to produce a
document expressing the full standards,controls,and processes needed to implement City-approved
parklet designs by local business owners. We anticipate this task will go together with detailed design and
construction document preparation for the parklets but may lead that process IF the City pursues a design-
build approach for implementing the parklets.
Schedule
We have proposed a six-week schedule to complete the conceptual design.However,there will be nu-
merous points of collaboration and coordination throughout the project,so that City staff will be able to
update decision-makers and other interested parties throughout:
Barklet Conceptual Design (Weel<s o-6)
o Field visit,identification of opportunities and constraints,and historic findings(Week i)
o City design presentation/work session-conceptual options (Weeks 3-4)
o City design presentation-preferred conceptual prototype (Week 6,mid-December tar et
Further detail on the scope of work can be made available upon request and/or through discussion with
City staff.
Phase_a__-__Annuai Seasona9___Ceoscare.._Conce.pt____..
Task(Project Kick-OffMeeting) will include both a kick-off meeting and discussion of an appropriate
community engagement strategy.The Arroyo Group has years of experience with a broad variety of in-
person and virtual community engagement methods including open houses,town hall meetings,breakout
sessions,pop-up events,surveys,virtual workshops,videos and social media campaigns.
C
Tasks(Site ConditionsAssessment) will combine field observation with the City and small stakeholder
group meetings,or individual interviews,to identify potential opportunities and challenges with Annual
Seasonal Closure ideas on Glassell St This will also be an important opportunity to discuss the merits of a
range of potential features,events,experiences,and actives that may be of interest for Glassell during the
road closure periods,with a goal of making the space broadly serving and in turn vibrant. We will draw on
our historic research and approaches frorri Phase i as we begin looking at these new spaces.
Task3(Streetscape Design Options) will focus on developing an Annual Seasonal Closure vision for
Glassell to a conceptual (io%design) level.The concept will address major systems such as circulation,
roadway and sidewalk areas,curbs/vertical barriers,and areas for landscaping,furniture,outdoor dining,
parking,drop-off and other programming,including events.The ideas will provide a character direction for
elements such as lighting,furniture,paving,etc. A thorough analysis of programming will be developed to
ensure a range of physical spaces are considered and serve a range of activities/experiences,guest
demographics,and timings(day,night,seasonal). A draft concept report will be provided to summarize the
developing vision for Glassell's seasonal closure experience and our process to bring those ideas to life. We
anticipate working closely with City staff during the conceptual stage to craft a fitting vision and experience.
Task 4(Response to City Comments and Final Presentation) will involve the revision of conceptual
design information based on City comments and preparation of a final conceptual design report.A final
presentation will be made to City staff.
Schedule
We have proposed a twelve-week schedule to complete the project,commencing upon completion of ,
Phase,targeting a start in early January zoz2.There will be numerous points of collaboration and
coordination throughout the project,so that City staff will be able to update decision-makers and other
interested parties throughout:
Field visit,identification of opportunities and constraints,and historic findings (Weeks i-z)
City worksession (Week 3-4)
City design presentation -draft concept(Week 8)
City design presentation-.final concept(Week iz)

T,he Arroyo Group prepared a FirsULast Mile Plan for the Foothill Gold Line Extension 26 for LA Metro.The Plan was the result of
community outreach which engaged over 1;500 people and.over 25 meetings between LA Metro and staff of the five project corridor
cities.It contains over 400 identified projects which will enhance pedestrian,bicycle,transit and pick up/drop off access to the future
Metro stations.Each project is given a planning-level cost estimate and a priority ranking using different metrics.
Following the adoption of the FirsULast Mile Plan by Metro in June 2019,The Arroyo Group was retained by the City of Glendora
to prepare 10%design plans and renderings for grant applications for key flrsUlast mile projects.Through a tailored and sensitive
community outreach strategy,community support was garnered for a transformative design which could create Los Angeles County's
first Dutch intersection and raised cycle track,while also introducing a roundabout and pedestrian-priority environments all around.

Mission Street is a village-style commercial district in the City of San Marino adjacent to the cities of South Pasadena and Pasadena.
Despite its pleasant pedestrian scale and comfortable tree-lined streetscapes,economic growth has stalled on the street in recent
decades. The Arroyo Group team studied a range of scenarios to better connect the corridor's pedestrian strolling experience
and expand sidewalk spaces for new placemaking, destination, and guest spill-out opportunities to serve local businesses.
Recaptured streetscape spaces in the corridor were paired with programming and activity scenarios that studied how to best create
a comprehensive and all-inciusive experience along Mission Street. A detailed look at activities and programming for the corridor
was informed by the local community and through a calendar-style matrix to ensure a vision for the corridor was reaching a full range
of potential user groups. A detailed cost and phasing strategy was also prepared to give the City and local decision makers a broad
range of tools for near and long-term implementation of the full vision.

Richard Rojas,
Heart of Norwalk Vision Plan Assistant City Manager,
rrojas@norwal kca.gov,
562)959-5700 x 5368
The Arroyo Group prepared the Heart of Norwalk Vision Plan,which articulated a clear, consensus-driven direction for
the San Antonio Village and Firestone Corridor, two aging areas in Norwalk's core. The Plan was based on a broad,
comprehensive and meaningful outreach process conducted during the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic. Included
was a consisterit social media campaign with over 700 followers and 3,000 post likes and comments;a paper and online
survey reaching 363 households; four engaging videos with over 3,000 reproductions; and almost 100 participants in
online workshops.The Plan uncovered the desire of Nonvalk's population, particularly the large youth and young adult
population,to have higher-quality commercial amenities and experiences located within a vibrant,mixed-use setting.
Putting form to the community's desire and operating within the context of economic realities,the Plan establishes two
centers to the Heart of Norwaik—the Front Street Historic District,an entertainment district with ample space for outdoor
dining and enjoyment in a historic setting, and the Town Square District, a mixed-use commercial center focused on
a community gathering space. The two centers are linked by San Antonio Drive, an iconic complete street corridor,
and supported by new residential and public transit opportunities along the Firestone Corridor. The Plan was adopted
unanimously by City Council and is forming the basis for a current Specific Plan effort.

South Lake Avenue Streetscape Concept Plan
As a Pasadena-based firm,The Arroyo Group's involvement in the City of Pasadena has been extensive. Over the last four
decades,we have been instrumental in creating and enhancing the four districts within Downtown Pasadena—Old Pasadena, .
Pasadena Playhouse District,Pasadena Civic Center/Mid-Town District,and South Lake Avenue—shaping the physical,social
and economic environment of Downtown Pasadena.
Save our History—Working in tandem with Pasadena Heritage,The Arroyo Group and other key activist organizations,were
instrumental in saving Old Pasadena from large scale demolition and replacement with multi-story o ce towers. As the team
leader for the Plan for Old Pasadena,The Arroyo Group defined uses,parking and circulation approaches which led to the
revitalization of this derelict yet significant historic district. The plan envisioned specialty retailing,entertainment and residential
uses to complement and link with the three other districts of Downtown Pasadena. The plan proposed activation of the district's
alley walkways,creation of mid-block pass-throughs and shared parking facilities to create a vibrant and interesting pedestrian
environment. Today,more than three decades later,Old Pasadena is a premier local,regional and national destination with an
eclectic and exciting mix of retail and entertainment tenants as well as a growing residential population.
The Power of an Idea—In the historic Playhouse District,our team advanced the vision for creating a system of paseos and
courtyards throughout the district—a concept that captured the imagination of the city leaders,community and developers
alike. Twelve years after the adoption of the streetscape plan,this vision is evidenced in the development of multiple private
development projects with paseos and private courtyards that have become an integral part of the spatial experience of the
Playhouse District.

The Arroyo Group's urban design concepts for activating alleys and creating a system of mid-block pass throughs,paseos,and courtyards
reinvigorated Old Pasadena and the Playhouse District,both of which have become vibrant pedestrian-oriented destinations.
18 Orange Plaza Paseo Streetscape Design Study
4, Project Exaov ples
In spite of being anchored by the Pasadena Playhouse,the Playhouse District was in serious need for revitalization and identity.
Our Plan transformed the district into a vibrant,mixed-use area of arts,cultural and commercial activities with new theaters,
galleries and museums. The Streetscape Plan provided unique thematic imagery that is appropriate for a theater district with
landscape,street lighting,signage,pubiic art,and street furniture design elements,giving it the needed identity before the long-
term revitalization could occur. This project won a$1.4 million MTA grant for implementation.
Protect and Enhance-The Civic Center/Mid-Town District Design project is located in the unique and most significant part of
Pasadena-where the City's commercial and civic corridors,Colorado Boulevard and Ga eld Avenue respectively,meet. Site
of a 1920's City Beautiful Plan,the Civic Center District has the Beaux-Arts Pasadena Ciry Hall,Myron Hunt-designed Pasadena
Central Library and Pasadena Civic Auditorium,as its anchors. The Design Plan restores the City Beautiful cross-axis of Ga eld
Avenue with Colorado Boulevard across Paseo Colorado,which eplaced the enclosed mall,Plaza Pasadena.
Working with a Task Force comprised of stakeholders and interested citizens,The Arroyo Group and the rest of our
multidisciplinary team developed a Design Plan and an Urban Design Framework which included recommendations for
streetscape design,public art eiements,and designs for the City Hall's forecourt,Centennial Square-the primary public space in
Pasadena in front of City Hall. A pedestrian-friendly,pleasant,arid tra c-calmed Centennial Square will become a spontaneous
gathering space as well as a site for organized large-scale group events and will strengthen community.Implementation of these
improvements is ongoing and is in part funded by a MTA$2.8 million grant.
Celebrate the Architecture-The Arroyo Group led a team that was retained by the South Lake Business Association(SLBA)
to continue the ongoing revitalization efforts for South Lake Avenue. One of four established districts in Downtown Pasadena,
South Lake Avenue used to be the premier shopping district in Pasadena and is anchored by a Macy's(formeriy Bullock's)
department store. With the emergence of other retail districts in and around Pasadena,South Lake has been in need of a physical
and economic facelift. Several of the Plan's recommendations for improvements in various elements of the public realm have
been implemented.These include street furniture such as benches,trash receptacles,bicycle racks,planter boxes,tree grates,
and median planting. Other long-term improvements have been initialized with the formation of a property-based business
improvement district and implementation of an aggressive retail recruitment strategy.
