firms throughout the country to determine if they would be interested in assisting the
Commission with its planning functions; they feel that for the kind of planning assistance th
need, which is primarily to help evaluate the various redevelopment proposals in the downtown
area, can be most effectively undertaken by the firm of Nason, Wehrman,.Knight & Chapman, Inc.,
this Planning Consulting Firm is headquartered. in Minneapolis and they have a significant
reputation in the planning field; the cost of performing the services that they feel are
necessary would be on an hourly basis but the total cost would not exceed $4,000.00; they feel
this service is reasonable and they recommend that the Common Council engage the services of
Nason, Wehrman, Knight & Chapman, Inc. to perform the consulting planning services, payment of
these services will have to be provided from sources otherthan the Planning Commission Budget,
was read. A motion was made by Day, second by Ellison, that the request be<denied. Alderman
Day stated that he felt they did not need this doncernt, that the people employed by the City,
the Planning Department and City Engineer were capable of putting this together; he said they
were rushing into things, the downtown street pattern has been under study by the Common
Council for a long time and the Mayor's Parking & Traffic Committee have also had it; there
have been quite a few improvement in the past few years, the City Engineer has done a number of
jobs (as the money was available) such as 3rd Avenue S.E.; 5th Street N.W.; llth Avenue NE -SE,
etc. he said we havei-been waiting for ROTPS for over a year now and if another consultant were
hired it would just be going over the same thing and he did not think it was necessary to hire
this firm. Alderman Folkert stated that he felt they would be a little out of order turning
this down because the Common Council did meet with the Planning & Zoning Commission and did
give approval to their looking into the use of a consulting firm to consolidate all of the
information that is coming in from a number of sources; a lot of what is being done right now
is relative the downtown area and he thought the Planning & Zoning Commission feels it has to
take not only the downtown area but the entire area; he said we can use the Planning Department
C
and the City Engineer but they have their regular work to do and he felt the coordination of
this would take a professional; he -said he thought this should be tabled and disccused further
with the Planning & Zoning Commission. Mr. Joe Weis, a member of the Planning & Zoning
Commission -was present -and stated that he,agreed that•the work should be done by the Planning
Department, but they were not staffed to do the job of coordinating necessary to do this
downtown work; he said they had contacted six consulting firms and had narrowed it down that
this was the best and most convenient firm; he said the $4,000 was not necessarity theend, it
will not give an over all downtown plan, you don't develop a downtown plan for $4,000. Tom 0.
Moore, Planning Director, stated that there has been much talk about ROTPS but nothing in the
way of a plan -.has been developed yet by that study and will not be until the next computor run;
the run is now being made and information should be back and ready by the middle of June. A
motion was made by Folkert,_second by Perry, that this be tabled and discussed further with the
Planning & Zoning Commission and upon roll call, Folkert, Larson, Perry and DeVries voting
"Aye',' and Day, Ellison and Postier voting "nay", the motion was carried and the matter

tabled (a meeting with the Planning & Zoning Commission was set for Wednesday, May 17th in A).

Record of Official Proceedings of the' Cornmori Council
of the. City of Rochester, Minn., May 15, 1967
The following recommendation from the Planning and Zoning Commission was read:
"Honorable Mayor and
Common Council
City of Rochester, Minnesota
RE: ONE WAY STREET PATTERN FOR DOWNTOWN ROCHESTER
Gentlemen:
At a regular meeting of the City Planning & Zoning Commission held on May loth,
1967, considerdation was given to the proposed one-way street pattern for
downtown Rochester. While we generally go along with the idea that a one-way
street plan for downtown would help to facilitate the movement of traffic, we
are uncertain as to the future long range traffic plan for downtown Rochester.
At the present time,.the Rochester -Olmsted TransportEtion Planning Study is
making a 1985 Traffic Assignment to a proposed 1985 Major Thoroughfare System.
This date should be available about the middle of June 1967. This study was
undertaken to develop a factual basis for preparing future street plans. With
this in mind, it seems to us very untimely to make a change in the traffic
pattern without the benefit of the projected 1985 Traffic Assignment to the
proposed 1985 Thoroughfare System.
The Planning Commission is concerned about developing a workable long range
downtown traffic circulation plan that will be a strength to up grading the
entire area over a period of time. The data being prepared by the Transportation
Study will form the statistical basis for such a plan. We feel that to take any
step at this time to alter the Downtown Traffic Pattern Would be very shortsighted.
Once a frim long range downtown circuktion system is agreed upon, then such a move
would be in order as a start or beginning of Step I in attaining the implementation
of such a long range street plan. We also feel that by changing the circulation
system at this time would likely result in land owners making substantial
improvements to their properties that would finally turn out to seriously
impair making other alterations in the street pattern that may be needed or
�;:desir.ed in the future. For example, if a number of drive-in type facilities
were established, they would be serious obstacles to making other changes in
the street pattern. The whole matter of the character of future environment
that may be created in the central area could turn out to be very difficult
to alter.
It is with these reasons in mind then that the Planning Commission is most.
desirous of having a total long range downtown plan prepared and agreed upon,
before any substantial changes are.made to the existing traffic -circulation
pattern in the downtown area.
Respectfully submitted,
City Planning & Zoning Commission
/J. C. Weis; President"
Also a letter from C. A.Armstrong, City Engineer, stating as follows, was read:
"Attached for consideration are maps of the proposed one way street program
which you requested on May 2nd.
One map is of the downtown section consisting of:
(1) The N-S pair -
Northbound on Broadway from 6th St. South to 5th St. North;
Southbound on First Avenue N. W. and S.W. from 5th St. N.W.
to 6th St. S.W.
(2) The E-W pair -
Westbound on 2nd St. N.E. & N.W. from 2nd Ave. N.E. to 4th Ave. N.W.
Eastbound on 1st St. N.E. & N.W. from 4th Ave. N.W. to 2nd Ave. N.E.
The second map is in'the residential section, and continues the East-West pair
on 2nd Street N.W. and on 1st St. N.W. from 4th Avenue N.W. to 16th Ave. N.W.
2nd St. is westbound and lst St. is eastbound.
These routes are on existing Streets and could be enployed as one way pairs
without any immediate major roadway construction.
Additional traffic signals would be needed on each pait, existing signals
would have to be modified for one way indications, all signals interconnected,
and parking prohibited in specific locations.
Additional study will need to be made on the location and cost of new
signals, signing, and parking restrictions:"
After viewing the maps, a motion was made by Day, second by Ellison, that the E-W pair be
amended as follows: 'westbound on 2ndOStreet N.E. & N.W. from Broadway to 4th Avenue N.W.
and eastbound on 1st Street N. W. from Broadway to 4th Avenue N.W.' and that a hearing on
the proposed pair as amended by set for 7:30 o'clock P. M. on June 19, 1967; all voted in
favor.
