Proposal for 1987 and beyond: a future look to Downtown Las Vegas, February 1, 1987

ASHLEY HALL City Manager LARRY K. BARTON Deputy City Manager for Community Services RICHARD BLUE Executive Assistant to City Manager RANDALL H. WALKER Deputy City Manager for Administrative Services Councitman RON LURIE Councilman W. WAYNE BUNKER Councilman AL LEVY Councilman BOB NOLEN - / Dear Friends: The City of Las Vegas has been incorporated for only eight decades and in that relatively short time has become internationally famous as a major tourist destination. Rather than rest on that well-earned reputation, the City of Las Vegas is developing ambitious plans to assure a leadership position in progress of the 1980's and beyond. Projects already underway to enhance Downtown Las Vegas include the futuristic People Mover and the nostalgic Heritage Square in the heart of the most exciting City in the country. The outline for these plans and an update on their various stages of development can be found in this booklet. It can serve as a guide to the future of Las Vegas. What began as an open frontier in 1905 is now recognized as one of the fastest growing areas in the booming Southwest. The Las Vegas frontier is still open to new and better ways to meet tomorrow's needs. March 20, 1985 Welcome to the future! And welcome to Las Vegas, one of tomorrow's best bets for progress, innovation and excitement. This book has been prepared to give you a glimpse of the future we have planned for Downtown Las Vegas in partnership with private industry. The City of Las Vegas is not only breaking new ground in bringing the first magnetically-levitated People Mover to the United States, but we are also initiating private-public cooperative agreements to achieve mutually beneficial goals at little or no cost to the taxpayers. Just a year ago the Downtown Transportation Center, a multi-modal facility for the People Mover, a theme trolley shuttle and the existing bus system, was a set of plans. Now the Center and the People Mover are in their first stages of reality. The next two phases of the Master Development Plan for Downtown Las Vegas include plans for civic plaza development and central business district redevelopment. Me know from experience that dreams can become reality with hard work, proper planning and a team effort with private industry. That's the formula that made Las Vegas the number one tourist destination in the world, and that is what will keep us on top. introduction 2 Downtown Master Deveiopment Plan 3 Redevelopment Area 4 Phase 1 Downtown Transportation Center/Systems 5 Phase 1 Multi-Modai Action Pian Area 6 Existing Transit System 7 Existing Downtown Transit Transfer Point 8 Theme Shuttle Vehicie System 9 ConceptuaiTroltey Rendering 10 Conceptual Troliey Fioor Ptan 11 Fremont StreetTroileys 12 Conceptual Route Plan for Theme Shuttles 13 Possible Expanded Theme Shuttle Routes 14 Downtown Transportation Center 15, 16 Site Pian 17, 18 Floor Pian 19,20 Buiiding Eievations 21 Buiiding Sections 22 Proposed People Mover 23-25 Conceptuai Route Plan For The People Mover System 26 People Mover Vehicie Body Design 27 Proposed People Mover Vehicle Body Design 28 Scate Modei Of Proposed People Mover Vehicies 29 Conceptual People Mover D.T.C.

The Phase 1 devetopment area establishes a transportation corridor one mite in tength connecting the Cashman Fietd Comptex to the Downtown Transportation Center tocated at the northeast corner of Casino Center Boutevard and Stewart Avenue. This transportation corridor consists of pubticty-owned property at Cashman Fietd; City-owned property at Reed-Whippte Center, the Downtown Transportation Center, and City street rights-of-way on Veterans tVtemoriat Drive. The Phase 1 tVtutti-Modat Action Ptan consists of three specific projects that are being implemented within the corridor area. Phase 1(A) —Downtown Transportation Center Phase 1(B) —Downtown Theme Shuttte System Phase 1(C) —Downtown Peopte-Mover System Each of these three devetopment projects are described in more detait within the fottowing pages of text and ittustrations. nmnnnnmBnniDmBnnnmimmnimBninniQa CB Hin mn on mm anma cumins ^nsm^tmmnnnHtniinEnKitnQttnBm]!m ninm! cnmn)[^ mnmim nmmmB] mii][nncn& mm mm] nmmnm mmnmTcBcnm mtannnm rni-i]c nr/ tmumam iB&H rnnmnn^ m mm ^y ma mmijiB aim L-^z/ 'tnrm! n'ii!!int:[itniwmnimn]i !ll"lll!!!l! r - B ; !H!i!llil!ll l!!:!!!!IIIIU ;n jujmnmuniia ni)i!H iHii!iiiimfnTrt ORTH 12 EX!ST!NG TRANStT SYSTEM Las Vegas, tike other metropotitan areas has the need to provide convenient, economical and efficient mass transporta-tion for both its residents and the mittions of tourists who visit the city annuatty. The present transportation system con-sists of eteven bus routes with one transfer point tocated at the City's Carson Avenue garage. Ten of these routes (9 hourty, 1 quarter hourty) converge at this tocation. Severat probtems exist at this current transfer point. The toading and untoading of passengers on the narrow sidewatk cre-ates traffic and pedestrian congestion thereby inconveniencing visitors, tocats and downtown business owners, tn addition to tack of controtted boarding facitities, ap-propriate amenities such as night tighting, shade structures, adequate seating ete-ments and accessibte pubtic rest room faciti-ties are att tacking. Air and noise pottution as wett as increased toitering are added un-desirabte resutts of using this tocation for the bus transfer point. One ptanning strategy atready impte-mented was the retocation of the originat downtown fire station to the new Centra) Fire Station/Fire Services headquarters facitity that is tocated immediatety north of the previous site. The City's Fire Services Department personnet vacated the originat facitity and occupied the newty compteted Centra) Fire Station in Juty, 1984. See photograph on page 83. With this project compteted, the City has provided a new Downtown Transportation Center at the site of the originat Fire Station #1, at the northeast corner of Casino Center Boute-vard and Stewart Avenue. This facitity was substantial compteted in January 1987. The grand opening is scheduted for mid-Aprit with operations commencing thereafter. Att buses witt be rerouted to this center. Transferring passengers witt exchange buses there or ride to the down-town business district on theme shuttte vehictes.

See page 10 for the Conceptua) Troiiey Rendering and page 11 for the Con-ceptuai Troiiey Fioor Pian. Because no permanent raits or tracks are required, the routes couid be amended as demand changes. The interiors of the troiieys wii) refiect oid-fashioned craftsmanship by featuring quaiity oak ceitings, seats, and driver's consoie, brass handraiis, stanchions, and guardraiis, pius etched giass, a pubiic address system, exterior and interior pane) advertising, and a cianging brass beii. Severat of these vehicies wiii be equipped with a functionai conductor's piatform with rear exit and safety gates in order to accommodate wheeichairs. The troiieys, on the basic downtown centra) ioop, wii) teave the transportation center and head south on Casino Center Bouievard to Ogden, east to 7th, south to Fremont, west on Fremont to Main, north to Ogden, east to 4th Street and ioop back into the Downtown Transportation Center. This primary downtown shuttie ioop is iiiu-strated in red on the Conceptua) Route P)an on page 13. Some possibie extensions to this route coutd inciude expanding the route to 10th Street and inciuding a business ioop at peak hours to downtown county/federai faciiities and other quasi-pubiic agencies in the centra) business district. Page 14 iiiustrates these expanded routes. Time studies have been conducted on the proposed shuttte routing. The primary toop wiii take approximate^ twenty min-utes attowing for 14 stops at aii major busi-ness/ government estabtishments aiong the route. This scheduiing wiii provide for headway times at any stop of iess than five minutes. On June 18, 1986, the City awarded a contract to Boyertown Auto Body Works for tweive theme vehicies. The initiai troiieys wit) be detivered to begin operations in concert with the opening of the Downtown Transportation Center in Aprii, 1987. These troiieys wiii be a unique tourist attraction as weii as provide convenience and versatiiity in transporta-tion for the downtown Las Vegas area. <9 TROLLEY (THEME) VEHICLE 10 1 1 12 0 ) LU t - 0- L j O z o o 12 CASHMAN FIELD CENTER P D P O S E D PE3PLE MOVER NAtNTENANCE SUH^tNG-PROPOSED DtSCOVERY PROPOS ED^ M U S E U M ^ CENTRAL / UBRARY ^ J L CASHMAN FtELD CENTER bPOSED DPLE MOVER hNTENANCE PROPOSED DtSCOVERY PROPOSED * , M U S E U M ^ CENTRAL / UBRARY ^ Tenth St. Eighth St. Sixth St. PROPOSED FESTtVAL MARKET PLACE OGDEN AVENUE GARAGE CARSON AVENUE GARAGE WNTO' First St. ULJ) < CL X UJ LJ OQ 0 ) 0 ) o a. 14 DOWNTOWN TRANSPORTAT!ON CENTER On January 14, 1984 City Manager Ashley Hai) organized an interdepartmental 20-member Downtown Deveiopment Task Force (DDTF). This committee, ied by Chairperson Thomas B. Graham, is respon-sibie for pianning and impiementing the previousiy mentioned Master Deveiopment Pian phases designed specificaiiy for down-town Las Vegas. Grant appiications were separateiy pre-pared and submitted to the Urban Mass Transportation Administration (U.M.T.A.) through the Regionai Transportation Com-mission (R.T.C.) for the Downtown Trans-portation Center and the Theme Shuttie Ve-hicies. The appiication funding amount requested for the Downtown Transporta-tion Center was $1,280,000, which is 80% of the initiai project cost of $1,600,000. The City is currently petitioning the State of Nevada (Nevada Department of Transpor-tation) for a matching grant of $160,000 for haif of the remaining 20% of the origina) cost. The totai project which inciudes aii on-site construction is $2,632,880. !n addi-tion, a separate project to provide improved ingress and egress for both trotieys and buses using the D.T.C. is $1,252,762. This off-site project inciudes a pedestrian maii on the north side of Stewart Avenue be-tween Casino Center Bouievard and Third Street. Enhancements such as patterned paver sidewaiks, a theme gazebo and pedestai ciock, with retated decorative iighting and raised pianter iandscaping are inciuded in these surrounding street im-provements. The grant appiication submitted to U.tVt.T.A. for the Theme Shuttie Vehicies acquisition was $2,024,256, with $253,032 being petitioned with Nevada Department of Transportation and $253,032 funded by the City of Las Vegas. City funds are pos-sibte through parking revenues generated through the teases of downtown garages. U.iVLT.A. Administrator, Ratph Staniey, announced in the January 16, 1985 City Counci) meeting, the approva! of the $1,280,000 grant appiication for the Down-town Transportation Center. The City compieted the architectura!/ engineering seiection process by reviewing the Statement of Quatifications submitted by six eiigibie firms. Through evatuations by the DDTF committee, it was recom-mended and approved by City Counci! on October 3, 1984 to award the contract to Dobrusky Kittre)! Gartock Architects (DKG). The RTC then approved the DKG architec-turai/ engineering contract on February 14, 1985 and the City of Las Vegas awarded the Downtown Transportation Center de-sign contract to DKG Architects on Feb-ruary 20, 1985. / With Pace Contracting Company named as the successfu) bidder for con-struction, a groundbreaking ceremony was hetd January 15, 1986. The transportation center was substantia!^ compteted in Jan-uary, 1987. A grand opening for the center is scheduted for mid-Apri), 1987 and operations wit) commence thereafter. See page 44a for the Downtown Transporta-tion Center rendering. S!TE PLAN tngress into the new Downtown Trans-portation Entrance Center wiii be through a iandscaped iane aiong 4th Street extension. The City of Las Vegas approached the Nevada Department of Transportation for permission to instati this additionai access. As graphicaiiy dispiayed on the site pian on the next page, both the rerouted transit buses and the proposed shuttie vehicies wii! utiiize this entry into the Downtown Transportation Center on the 1.6 acre originai downtown Fire Station #1 property. A common unioading piaza has been created. Both the transit buses and the troiieys wit) disembark their passengers at this iocation prior to moving into their designated boarding areas. The troHey shuttie vehicies have a separate covered porta) for convenient and comfortabie boarding by those passengers desiring to circutate to other downtown designations in the centra) business district. 12 As ittustrated by the directiona) arrows, the means of egress from the Downtown Transportation Center for the buses and tro))ey shuttte vehictes wit) be via Stewart Avenue. Traffic Signai timing adjustments have been engineered by the City to attow for an orderty exiting sequence. The site pian atso cieariy iitustrates the impact of the immediateiy adjacent Federa) Post Office property (future Heritage Square). Whiie future expansion of the Downtown Transportation Center can be accommodated on City owned property immediateiy east of the origina) fire station parcei, the federai property remains as a devetopment barrier to additiona) pedes-trian enhancements within the immediate vicinity of this new center. The need for City acquisition of the post office property from the federai government is discussed in more detaii on page 51, under Phase 2 Urban Design Action Pian for a Civic Piaza Deveiopment. MESQUtTE AVENUE N < CL UJ 0) 18 FLOOR PLAN This new buitding facitity is tocated within the centra) business district in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. The site consists primarity of the originat Fire Station #1 site with additionat tand use rights acquired on adjoining federat property to ease transit vehicte circutation. The Downtown Transportation Center buitding witt be the hub of mass transportation for the downtown area and witt tink the pubtic bus system, a trottey shuttte system, and the etevated peopte mover system to be designed and constructed by Las Vegas Peopte Mover Associates. This facitity witt provide greatty needed comfort amenities to present and future mass transit users. The buitding design inctudes over 10,000 square feet of indoor, ctimate controtted spaces of which pubtic tobby areas account for approximated 7,000 square feet. These waiting areas witt contain comfortabte seating etements, a news stand, and a centratized ticket office for those riders transferring to other routes or awaiting the arrivat of a trottey shuttte vehicte. )n addition, the design provides ampte rest room facitities, a restaurant, a first aid office, a security office with ctosed circuit tetevision monitors, a drivers' tounge, and access to covered outdoor bus and trottey boarding ptazas as wett as the etevated peopte mover boarding ptatform when compteted. to^^ey drn^tt — MM Project Htm - Kt?3 Sf — —— 3M SF. — 143?

Using the most recent technotogy of etectromagnetic propuision, the peopte mover route wit! trave! approximatety one mite via Casino Center Boutevard, Veterans tVtemoriat Drive and then cross the City owned Reed Whippte Center battfietds to the Cashman Fietd Center, tt witt then fottow the north boundary of Cashman Fietd's upper parking tot and descend to the main entry ptaza, which serves the stadium, auditorium and main exhibit hah and retated meeting wing. On September 10, 1984, the City of Las Vegas advertised a project announcement in the Watt Street Journat for its ptans to issue a format Request for Proposats to provide engineering, design, construction, operation, and maintenance of a totatty 12 automated Peopte Mover System, at no cost to the City. The project announce-ment, advertised nationatty as wet) as inter-national in the European and Asian edi-tions, initiated tetters of interest from 68 firms. On an internationat scate, six firms responded representing the countries of France, Engtand and Canada. As stated in the Automated Peopte Mover System Request for Proposat docu-ment, it was mandatory for any prospec-tive proposer to attend the two-day Pre- Proposat Conference hetd October 18 and 19, 1984 in the Las Vegas City Hat) Counci) Chambers. Eighteen prime proposers and eight subproposers were in attendance for this conference. Of these 26 firms, four prime proposers submitted their respective format proposats on December 4, 1984. An evatuation task force team was created by the City of Las Vegas in order to review the proposat doc-uments for criteria and content information. A finat audio/visuat presentation took ptace January 14, 1985, that enabted the prospective proposers to present their sys-tem package to the Mayor, City Councit, and City officiats. Three of the proposers accepted the City's invitation to make a pubtic presentation. A fina! recommendation was made and approved by the City Counci) on January 16, 1985, setecting Las Vegas Peopte IVtover Associates as the awarded propos-er, with Titan P.R.T. Systems designated as the atternate. The City entered into a fina! agreement with Las Vegas Peopte tVtover Associates on August 7, 1985. The Las Vegas Peopte tVtover Associ-ates (LVPtVtA) is comprised of Magnetic Transit of America, tnc. (tVtTA), and Daniet, tVtann, Johnson and [Vtendenhatt (DtVtJtVt). The tVt-Bahn Technotogy being offered to the City of Las Vegas by LVPtVtA is an advanced magnetic tevitation pubtic transit system. This witt be the first magneticatty-tevitated peopte mover system apptication in the United States. tn the August 7, 1985, Agreement be-tween the Las Vegas Peopte tVtover Asso-ciates (LVPtVtA) and the City of Las Vegas, the LVPtVtA has options to extend their peopte mover project to downtown and to expand to a duat guideway system. On October 24, 1985, the LVPtVtA advised the City of Las Vegas of their intention to exer-cise these options as part of their initial construction from the Cashman Fietd Cen-ter through the Downtown Transportation Center (DTC) to the Carson Garage. This originat expansion route woutd extend the guideway beyond the DTC by approxi-mate^ 1,400 feet. The extension woutd run atong Castno Center Boutevard be-tween the DTC to Carson Avenue and in-ctude another terminat station to be con-structed adjacent to the west side of the existing Carson Garage structure. However, due to physicat and visuat im-pacts upon the existing Casino Center Btvd. streetscape, a more desirabte atternate route was presented. This atternate exten-sion route witt take the etevated peopte mover from the DTC southeast atong Fourth Street across a pubtic parking lot be-tween the Federat Post Office buitding and City Hat). This route witt continue south-east with an aeriat crossing at the Stewart Avenue and Fourth Street intersection onto the City parking tot directty south of City Hatt. After crossing this City owned park-ing tot, the peopte mover guideway woutd turn south atong the west parking tane of Las Vegas Boutevard to Ogden Avenue. Onty the southerty one-hatf of the btock be-tween Stewart Avenue and Ogden Avenue on Las Vegas Boutevard woutd be utitized to tand the necessary 80' to 100' on-center guideway supports. A terminat station is proposed at the intersection of Las Vegas Boutevard and Ogden Avenue. With peo-pte mover stations atso proposed at the Cashman Fietd Center and the Downtown Transportation Center, these stations witt be architectural integrated into the exist-ing/ proposed pubtic facitities at each toca-tion. This aiternate route was approved by both the City Counci) on September 3, 1986, and the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority Board on October 28, 1986. in )V)ay of 1985, a Library Bond issue was approved for a new centra) tibrary in the Downtown area and wit) be buiit in con-junction with a proposed Chiidren's Discov-ery Museum for a totai project cost of $9.5 mitiion. This 100,000 square foot comptex wiii be iocated at the existing Reed Whippie softbat) fieids directiy north of City Hati. A segment of the Peopie Mover guideway wit) trave) through the Library/Museum compiex. The Peopie Mover system's automated contro) room wit) be integrated as a dispiay for pubiic viewing within the Chiidren's Discovery Museum. See page 26 for the conceptuai route pian design. The Peopie Mover System has the ca-pacity in excess of 7,500 passengers per hour, operating on an eievated guideway that is a minimum of 17'6" above the street ieveis. This project is scheduied for compietion in the spring of 1989. With the addition of this proposed peo-pie mover into the new Downtown Trans-portation Center, the City of Las Vegas wiii be providing the first muiti-modai ground transportation center in Nevada. The City feeis the reiocation of the bus transfer point and these additions to the present trans-portation system wit) not oniy aiieviate the undesirabte effects of congestion and poiiu-tion downtown, but wiii aiso significantiy contribute to substantia) improvements and enhancements for the convenience and comfort of aii riders.
