Augusta Canal Neighborhood Revitalization Plan
Approach and Work Program
Identified below is a general scope of work that will represent Phase I of the Augusta
Canal Neighborhood Revitalization Plan, planning and design services. The project area
will focus on the neighborhood that runs from ih Street to 12th Street and is centered
around the third level of the Augusta Canal. It is intended that the majority of the work
will be accomplished during an on-site, five-day planning workshop that will begin at
lunch on day one and ending at lunch on day five. A detailed outline of the sequence of
events including a three day interactive "planning charette" is included.
Dav One: Data Collection
Augusta will be asked to assist MACTEC staff in assembling base maps for use by the
planning team. Augusta will also be asked to assist the MACTEC team in gathering
relevant data that should be considered during development of the neighborhood plan.
Examples of the data that may be useful during the planning workshop are as follows:
Population
Employment
Existing Land Use and Zoning
Infrastructure, including sidewalks and utilities
Planned Developments
Traffic features and patterns (public parking included)
Parks, Open Space and recreation features
Housing Features
Aesthetic and environmental features
Planned City Improvements
Signage
Pedestrian Circulation
Area Businesses by type
Area Businesses by tenure
Academic Facilties
Special Events
Historic Resources
Approach: City staff will be asked to present data and existing conditions to the
MACTEC team at a working session on the afternoon of the first day of the workshop.
The data and existing conditions will be used as a baseline for the development of the
plan and the final document.
Products: The MACTEC team will include a summary of existing conditions in the final
document, which will be based upon the data collection and the following charette
process.
PROP05KENN246
Dav Two - Dav Four: PlanninJ! Charette
To assist the city in establishing a vision for the neighborhood, The MACTEC team will
conduct a three day planning charette. The charette will be used to establish a vision for
the future of the neighborhood, prioritize issues, develop preferences for specific urban
design elements (streetscape, architectural styles, housing styles), recommendations and
an action strategy. The city of Augusta will assist with public announcements made
through the media including newspaper, radio and television. The city of Augusta will
also be invited to dedicate at least one staff member to assist the MACTEC team during
the charette process.
Approach: Our approach to the study area Planning Charette is as follows:
Day Two - Inventory
Day Two - Morning
. Organize and review data from Task One.
. Tour the Neighborhood.
Day Two Lunch:
Working session with city staff: The MACTEC team will meet with city staff to prepare
for the charette and to review base maps and data. This session will be used to affirm the
charette schedule and agenda and to set-up for the stakeholder (Task Force) workshop.
Day Two Afternoon:
Stakeholder (Task Force) Workshop: The MACTEC Team will conduct a workshop with
key stakeholders including representatives from the city of Augusta, The Augusta Canal
Authority, Augusta Tomorrow, Historic Augusta, the Laney-Walker Neighborhood
Association, the Augusta Neighborhood Improvement Association, the Planning
Commission and Private Developers. The workshop will highlight key issues and
opportunities on flip charts.
Community Workshop Preparation: The MACTEC team will synthesize information
gathered from city staff and other stakeholders in preparation for the evening's
community workshop.
Day Two Evening:
Community Vision Workshop:
Participants will be asked to answer the following questions:
. What are the things you like most about the neighborhood?
. What things would you change about the neighborhood?
. What would you like the neighborhood to be like in 10 years?
A team facilitator will be present to manage the input received during the workshop and
to record the results. The MACTEC team will present an abbreviated community
preference survey. The team will make notes on flip charts so everyone can see and
PROP05KENN246
document what is being discussed. The MACTEC team will ask specific questions to
clarify points the public is making. Near the end of the survey, the team will summarize
the major issues that need to be addressed and have participants prioritize issues.
Day Three Analysis
Day Three - Morning
The MACTEC team will review the results of the Stakeholder (Task Force) Workshop
and the Community Visioning and prepare a program of issues that the plan will address.
The MACTEC team will prepare an opportunities and constraints map as well as some
alternative conceptual sketches demonstrating design alternatives for the neighborhood.
Alternative designs for the project area will include public spaces, streetscape, land use
and activity areas.
Day Three - Afternoon
Stakeholder (Task Force) Workshop Continued: The MACTEC team will affirm the draft
prioritized issues list and the opportunities and constraints map with the stakeholder
group. The remainder of the stakeholder workshop will be used to discuss alternatives for
the neighborhood with the stakeholder group. The outcome of the stakeholder workshop
will be a draft design vision for the neighborhood. Input and discussion will result in a
consensus for a vision that the team will further refine.
Day Three - Evening (Optional):
Public Open House: The public will be invited to review and comment on the draft vision
statement, prioritized issues list, opportunities and constraints map, and conceptual
design for the neighborhood.
Day Four: Recommendations

which will be presented in a pre- final document to city staff. Mayor and Council for
review and adoption. Maps, diagrams, and sketches will be used to communicate and
PROP05KENN246
illustrate the vision for the study area. The final document will be a vision plan that
