Specifications include, but are not limited to:Exiting Conditions: The City of Mandan has contracted an effort to map city infrastructures in GIS. This effort is expected to finish by the end of 2016. Where available, Mandan and the MPO will also provide data on street and right-of-way widths, public utilities, crash experience, volumes and turning movements, and other information. Main Street/Truck Route: The character of Main Street is divided by its east and west portions. The study should strive to create continuity amongst the different sections. In doing so, the consultant should build upon recommendations from the Bismarck-Mandan Corridor Improvements Study (2016) and suggested policies (i.e. restricted hours for truck traffic in downtown core, special events) to create a facility that is conducive to a downtown environment, but maintains its ability to move traffic efficiently. Main Street, also known as Business 94, is a Regional Highway and a designated truck route through the city of Mandan. This designation will not change; however, truck traffic is expected to decrease dramatically in the next 2-5 years. The study should address policies and/or practices to address truck traffic in this interim period, as well as beyond. The study should be mindful of opportunities created by reduced truck traffic, while still recognizing the need to maintain Regional highway traffic. Surrounding Street Network: The study should develop ideas for a street appearance and maintenance plans that ensure visual attractiveness of the downtown streets, particularly 1st Street NW. Recommendations should cover elements such as, but not limited to, the direction of traffic on collector streets, on-street parking, appropriate placement of traffic control signs, crosswalk placement and design, and pedestrian visibility. Parking: Build upon the Mandan’s Downtown Parking Study (2009). Evaluate opportunity for increases or reductions in on- and off-street parking and recommend an optimal parking design (i.e. parking style, installation of bump outs, time-limits, etc.) to encourage the type of development envisioned. Additionally, identify areas where on-street parking could be redeveloped into turn bays, where functionally appropriate for traffic flow
