This project will resurface the existing roadway pavement and install sidewalk improvements, a shared-use path, additional signalized pedestrian crossings, transit improvements, lighting, landscaping, and amenities from Solway Avenue to Stein Road. Construction of both projects is anticipated to commence in the Fall of 2024 and be completed in the Fall of 2026 (see attached Map WFGS Project Area). Currently, all funding that has been secured for these projects will only cover the construction or installation of the above-listed improvements. To ensure that these projects are a long-term success, local funding for the operations and maintenance of the corridor and amenities must be secured. Ideally, future operations and maintenance activities would include, but would not be limited to, the maintenance of landscaped areas, trash pickup and debris removal, the maintenance of furnishings (benches, trash receptacles, etc.), and the maintenance of wayfinding signage. Additional funding sources are being investigated to continue these corridor improvements northward to Pershall Road via another future project. Project Objective and Scope of Work The selected firm will be responsible for providing two TDD analyses and a TDD recommended implementation plan that will serve as the basis for a community education and implementation campaign to establish a WFGS TDD within a reasonable time frame (12-18 months). o The first analysis must include: o A legal boundary that includes the project area of West Florissant Avenue between Solway Avenue and Stein Road. o An analysis of revenue collection opportunities within the proposed TDD boundary that would raise a minimum of $500,000 annually. Revenue collection may include sales tax, real estate tax, and assessment tax. It should also be feasible, sustainable, and show consideration for and analysis of progressive taxation methods eligible under Missouri law. o The second analysis must include all the above AND o A legal boundary that may extend as far north as Pershall Road and as far south as Acme Avenue (6400 Block of West Florissant Road. o An analysis of possible revenue collection opportunities within the proposed TDD boundary that would raise a minimum of $1,000,000 annually. o The TDD implementation recommendation should include a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis that evaluates the economic, legal, and civil feasibility of establishing a WFGS TDD. The analyses may serve as a basis for a public engagement, education, and implementation campaign. Short and long-term costs and benefits, include: o Impacts on local households, businesses, municipalities, and other stakeholders along the WFGS corridor. o Bureaucratic and civic considerations. o TDD governance and fund distribution recommendations. o An implementation schedule and roadmap outlining the steps required to establish the TDD, including legal, administrative, and community engagement. o Likely implementation costs, including financial, time, and talent. o A summary of eligible expenses a TDD may support beyond construction, operations, and maintenance -- such as design and planning. The primary objective of the TDD is to generate funding to support WFGS construction and design improvements as well as operations and maintenance costs, which are estimated to be between $500,000 to $1,000,000 annually *The value for this project is based on a financial range. The value is listed as the highest possible cost from the range provided by a stakeholder or official project document.
