Changes to the Streetscape Plan
Final changes to the Cascade Avenue streetscape plan were presented at a meeting held Wednesday, January 23.  In December 2012 and early January 2013, the City of Sisters, SERA Architects and GreenWorks met with Cascade Avenue business and property owners to discuss their concerns regarding the streetscape plan.  A summary of those concerns and changes to the streetscape plan were presented at the meeting.  The presentation and other meeting materials can be found below.

The City, SERA, GreenWorks and ODOT appreciate the involvement of the business and property owners in finalizing the streetscape plan.

• Reconstruct sidewalks and increase sidewalk widths from six to eight feet, except between Oak and Pine Streets where the widths will be nine feet;
• Improve pedestrian crossings at intersections by building curb extensions, or “bulb outs”, with upgraded ADA ramps at Pine, Oak, Elm, Fir and Spruce Streets; this will reduce crossing distances and increase pedestrian visibility;
• Add streetscape features such as decorative lighting, benches and landscaping;
• Improve the storm water drainage system to eliminate flooding and standing water by adding drainage swales and Underground Injection Control (UIC) systems (for more information on UIC's and the permitting process, visit http://www.deq.state.or.us/wq/uic/uic.htm);
• Reconstruct Cascade Avenue from Pine Street to Larch Street;
• Grind out and repave Cascade Avenue from Larch Street to Locust Street; and
• Widen the roadway width at the intersection of Barclay Drive and Locust Street to facilitate freight turning movements.
