PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Spokane Valley wants an economic evaluation
of the Spraguelppleway Corridor. The corridors is five and a
half miles long, extending from Interstate -90 on the west to
Sullivan Avent2e on the east.
The City was clear in its Request for Proposals (RFP)
that the project is primarily an economic of
transportation and lard use issues. The Cart} faces choices
about the type of transportation improvements it will inane
in the corridor: fundaanentally the choice is about extension
of the couplet as either a one -way ox two -way arterial. That
choice will have impas.ts on traffic, which will in Turn have
impacts on land u. e and economic development,
The evaluation of these alternatives includes but goes
beyond a standard traffic analysis. There is clearly an
intez2Ction among transportation, land tike, and market
variables. if transportation improvements are changed,
traffic patte2�?i5 will change, and eventually send uses as
well. Future travel, land use, and economic activity will be
influenced not only by the traffic improvements (e.g., one -
way or two -way configurations), but by other factors as
well, several of which are noted in the RFP: retail centers
outside the corridor such as the Spokane Valley Mall, the
Costco /House Depot center, and existing mining /pit
operations.
There is controversy in the City about which
transportation option is best for the City. Such controversy
is not unique to Spokane Valley, it occurs wherev�r there
are large, long -term decisions about public investments
being needed, and where different soZtitions tend to be
perceived as benefiting different groups. Controversy is
often especially acute for highway investments, where there
can be conflicts amonng different it2zi5dictions over the
importance of through speed versus local access; among the
priorities of commuters versus those of businesses located
along the corridor; among different local groups (and even
diffe -rent city departments) over traditional highway
expansion versus demand management, txansit, and land -use
driven solutions to congestion; and among corridor versus
city -wide property owners over who benefits and who pays.
These conflicts get resolved, eventually, by elected
representatives: in this case, the City Council. To Make
Spokane Valley, Corridor Study EOONarthwest July 2004 Page 1
such a controversial decision, members of an elected body
want to have the best information available about the
impacts of such a decision. They need the facts, to the
extent that they can be assembled, and they need to be able
to tell their constituents that all the facts have been
considered. In that context, the City's desired outcome for
this project is an objective and understandable evaluation
of the issues, done by professionals with a demonstrated
capacity for rigorous and unbiased analysis regarding the
economic impacts of transportation improvements.
OVERVIEW OF THE APPROACH
The focus of the research is on how changes in travel
affect economic activity, which requires some type of
estimates of how changes in transportation systems affect
travel and traffic (in the long run during operation, but
also in the short run during construction).
At a general level, these are fundamental questions
addressed by the professional literature of urban and
transportation economics. That literature is both
theoretical and empirical.
Theory can be quite useful in predicting impacts. We are
not talking here about some abstract academic theory.
Rather, we mean a theory of cause and effect —of the
relationships between transportation access, land
development, economic activity, and economic value —that is
generally accepted as plausible by not only planners, but by
real estate and business analysts. The literature is
consistent with the common observation that better
transportation access increases land values, density, and
economic activity.
The professional literature also addresses -real -world
cases where corridors and couplets have been built. But the
empirical work that will be directly relevant to the
existing conditions along the Sprague /Applewav Corridor is
spotty. Very little ex post (after- the -fact) analysis has
been conducted; what has been done is often done poorly, or
is very specific to the circumstances of a particular
location and project. The challenge is to find good analysis
of a situation and city directly comparable to Spokane
Valley.
Nationally the debate of one -way versus two -way streets
for downtown circulation began in the 1950s. Most downtown
areas began converting two -way streets to one -way streets in
an attempt to rid downtown areas of traffic congestion. This
occurred before by- passes, loops, and the full interstate
system. The one -way street systems successfully reduced
congestion without the need for constructing new facilities.
Page 2 ECONorthwest July 2004 Spokane Valley, Corridor Study
The trend now, starting in the 19905, is to convert one -
way streets back to two -way operation. This trend is not
because the one -way street system failed, or that traffic
volumes have decreased. Rather, the prevailing wisdom of
urban planners and designers is that a busy street, somewhat
congested, is an indicator of a healthy business
environment.
The theoretical and empirical literature is a good start:
it is essential to developing a proper and consistent
evaluation structure, and it provides some ideas about the
types of impacts to expect, and their direction and
magnitudes. But ultimately the research in this project is
going to have to get into the particulars of the Sprague/
Appleway Corridor.
The logic of the argument above suggests to a general
approach that is consistent with the guidelines of the RFP.
It is shown in Figure 1.

Recommendations
Figure 1 illustrates the following points about how, in
concept, the analysis should proceed:
• Establish an evaluation framework and assemble base
data. These two tasks happen simultaneously at the
beginning of the project.
• Describe existing condition, likely opportunities and
constraints for future development, and .forecasts. At
the same time we can describe existing and potential
policy options. We will use those descriptions to
create future development scenarios for transportation
and development: a base case, and some alternatives.
Constraints include any barriers to redevelopment:
market., policy (regulatory), or institutional
(implementation of policies). Given the constraints of
time and budget, these scenarios will be approximate,
Spokane Valley, Corridor Study ECONorthwest July 2004 Page 3
but will illustrate the points essential to the
evaluation.
An important part of this task would have been to
acquire and review transportation forecast data from
Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC). Recent
decisions by SRTC about revamping its travel- demand
model means that the consulting team will have to do
its work without clear model results (addressed later
in this scope of work).
•
Describe the likely economic impacts of the scenarios.
That economic evaluation will derive, in part, from
the consultants' assessment of the professional
literature on, and our experience in other similar
project with, likely impacts. The economic impacts
will be influenced by the policies adopted (including
mitigation policies). Here the consultants will be
working through the chain of cause and effect to
describe how changes in the transportation system are
likely to affect development and economic activity.
The analysis will consider impacts:
• On different classes of property or business
activity.
• At different periods of time: short run
(construction, I to 5 years) and long run
(operation, 5 to 20 years).
• That can be influenced by public actions: to
mitigate negative impacts and enhance positive
ones.
• Report and present .recommendations. Figure 1 must be
modified slightly to deal with changes to the scope of
work that occurred during contract negotiations and
that resulted from the City's requirement to have the
public meetings on the project in early October. In
short, the consultants will make a presentation on a
partial, draft report only, and then deliver a final
report based on comments, but without requirements for
another presentation.
The steps above, though technically correct in concept,
are preliminary may have to be modified to deal with the
realities of some of the limitations of data that the City
and consultants discussed while preparing this scope of
work.
As part of those discussions the City also decided not to
fund what the consultants referred to as the "enhanced"
scope of services: one that included a stakeholder and
public involvement. There were several reasons for this.
First, a public involvement effort is not specified in the
RFF. Second, though the City believes this project is
contentious, its focus is on getting the facts, which can
Page 4 ECONorthwest July 2004 Spokane Valley, Corridor Study
occur without a special public involvement process. Third,
the City had no specified budget for this activity.
WORK PLAN
TASK 1 PROJECT START -UP
The consultant will meet with the City to refine the
scope of work, discuss data, and agree on products. The
version of the scope of work contained in this document is
the one that resulted from that meeting: it builds from but
revises (based on discussions between the consultant and the
City) the scope of work in the consultants' proposal.
Several related subtasks can begin and proceed
simultaneously during Task 1:
• Conduct a literature review. ECO is thoroughly
familiar with the literature on the economics of
transportation and land use. It can quickly summarize
the general expectations about key causal
relationships. Transpo and FTB will assist by giving
references to relevant case studies in the
professional literature or in local studies with which
they are familiar.
• Develop an evaluation framework. The essence of the
framework to be the one implied by the RFP and
outlined in the previous section: develop scenarios
(plausible combinations of land development and
transportation improvements in the corridor, given
expected City growth and its land use and development
policies) and describe (through various techniques)
the likely economic impacts of those scenarios in both
the short and long run. The evaluation framework
should address the effects of potential changes in
policy.
An important aspect of this project will be to
document the key historical events that have led to
current conditions on the couplet. In particular, the
changes in the transportation and economic functions
of the couplet over time may explain more of the
economic oroblems of businesses in the corridor than
the change of the corridor to a one -way couplet.
In other projects ECO has developed all manner of
computer- assisted evaluation models, ranging from
simple spreadsheets, to complex linking spreadsheets
with risk- analysis add -ons, to land development
simulations that couple parcel -level database analysis
with GIS analysis and presentation, as well as to
specialized econometric models written in any of
several programming languages. For the this project
ECO will keep the costs low by keeping the analysis
simple. The consultants will evaluate options by
Spokane Valley, Corridor Study ECONorthwest July 2004 Page 5
relying on economic and transportation theory, the
professional literature, simple spreadsheet analysis,
and some mapping display through GIS.
•
Assemble base data. The consultant expects some
direction and assistance from the City on identifying
and assembling the most current information about
transportation, land use, development, demographic,
and socioeconomic variables. That assistance will
include providing copies of relevant City and County
reports, electronic data that the City has available,
and names of people to contact.
It is very likely that traffic forecasts from SRTC
will not be available during this project. The
consultants must proceed and complete their re_oort
without any new modeling results. They will do so by
making approximate forecasts based on current traffic
flows and forecasted growth rates in population,
employment, or development. These will be simple
forecasts for the purposes of this study only, and
will be made relying on the experience and judgment of
the Transpo Group.
Following are examples of some of the data that may be
available and useful.
Data from Spokane County regarding previous
transportation projects, such as 16th and 32nd
Avenues, will prove useful to this project, as well as
information concerning capacity improvements and
timing of the improvements on Interstate 90 from
Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT).
The consultants will also confirm the status of the
North Spokane Corridor and discuss its impact to the
City as well as the Urban Connectors /Bigelow Gulch
Project. The `Bridging the Valley, analysis may show
impacts on the corridor's function in the long term as
consolidated rail service may change land use focus in
some areas.
The Comprehensive Plans for the Cities of Spokane and
Liberty Lake and Spokane County where common borders
are shared will provide background for the area and
development within the City. Land -use planning as a
result of the Light Rail study and LRT study
recommendations will also provide guidance for the
study. Further related transportation improvements
within these same jurisdictions which can impact how
and where traffic enters the Spokane Valley will have
an influence on circulation within the City and
Particularly within the couplet. Local business
forecasts and data from both the EDC and the Valley
Chamber will also provide a foundation for the
analysis. Specific demographic and building permit
data within the City by block group or traffic
analysis zone may be available from SRTC and the City.
Page 6 ECONorthwest July 2004 Spokane Valley, Corridor Study
Perhaps most critical and most basic are good aerial
photographs: at least the ?most current year in hard
COPY; digital would be better if available, and
historical (probably hard copy) would be highly
desirable. The City will provide these to ECO at the
beginning of the project.
City staff will assist the consultant with all aspects
Of data collection, including: getting data and
reports from City departments; providing names of
contacts at other agencies and in the private sectors
(e.g., brokers) that have data and reports; and
helping the consultants make contact with the efforts
Of a local university, sponsored by local Spokane
Valley merchants, to get information on economic
activity and merchant opinions in the corridor. The
City will be responsible for summarizing key City,
County, and State forecasts and plans with respect to
transportation and land development in the corridor.
• Prepare an outline of the final report. Preparing an
outline of the final product early facilitates
communication with City Staff and a larger audience,
if necessary, about what the study is supposed to do,
and keeps consultants focused on the desired product.
The outline will get amended during the course of the
research (usually in minor ways). The basic outline of
the report is described under Task 2, below; this
subtask will add detail to that basic outline. In
particular, the report outline will be annotated to
describe the evaluation methods and data sources that
it will use. City staff will comment on the outline,
the City and consultant will agree on changes, and the
outline will then be the roadmap for the technical
work in Task 2.
• Prepare for Task 2. The City has primary
responsibility for identifying and organizing people
or stakeholders for the focus groups that we would
conduct in Task 2.

TASK 2 TECHNICAL ANALYSIS
In June, as part of Task 1, the City staff and
consultants met to refine the scope of work. Key conclusions
affecting the work plan were:
•
The City wanted to limit the consultants work to a
technical analysis. It did not want the "enhanced"
Spokane Valley, Corridor Study ECONorthwest July 2004 Page 7
work program that included a program for public in
involvement in the development and evaluation of
alternatives.
• The timing of the start of the contract was such that
the original timing of the site visit, tear_ charrette,
and focus groups would have occurred in July or
August. Those events have been moved back to September
and, to keep the project on schedule, the consultants
will do more work prior to those events.
Specifically, the consultants will be working on drafts
of the report chapters on:
• Explanatory variables (Chapter 2, which includes a
literature review)
• Historical development in the couplet and 1 -90
corridors and the major factors that contributed to
change (Chapter 3)
• Existing conditions and likely future conditions,
given market trends and policies (Chapter 4:
transportation, land use, economics)
• Transportation and land use development options
(Chapter 5, which develops a few development scenarios
for evaluation). City staff input into traffic and
development options will be important. Transportation
components of scenarios will obviously include
variations on the couplet arrangement; development
components will include a continuation of existing
patterns, and shifts based on market trends or changes
in public policy.
• Evaluation of the economic impacts of those
development options, focused on the impacts on
businesses in the corridor of alternative
transportation investments (Chapter £). ECO will then
conduct its economic evaluation.
That evaluation will discuss impacts on existing
businesses of changes in transportation options,
traffic, and development patterns in the short run
(five years) and long run (20 years). That evaluation
cannot be definitive: there is too much uncertainty in
all the variables over that long a period. But it can
illustrate and provide justification Tor some
reasonable description of alternative futures. What is
critical is to be clear about assumptions, a
reasonable range of variability around those
assumptions, and the sensitivity of the conclusions to
that variability. In scenario planning, where future
results can be quite variable, it is often more
important to describe the downside risks of
unfavorable conditions then the best case that can
occur if all favorable assumptions prove true.
Page 8 ECONorthwest July 2004 Spokane Valley, Corridor Study
An important part of the evaluation is to identify and
describe the tradeoffs among the transportation /
development scenarios. Every decision — whether to build
or not build; what variation to build —has economic
consequences that we will describe.
Transpo will review traffic projections for the study
horizon years and address traffic control, possible
traffic calming techniques, access management /control,
pedestrian /bicycle needs, transit operational needs,
internal versus external circulation, and signage.
The consultants will get drafts of these chapters to the
City staff for review. To meet the deadline, and given
uncertainties about data, it is possible that some chapters
will have some incomplete sections. The City staff will
review whatever materials that consultants can get to the
City before the meetings in Task 3 and give a single set of
consolidated comments in writing to the consultant.
Also in Task 2 the City and consultants will discuss and
agree on the format for the focus groups proposed in Task 3,
and the City will ?Hake invitations and general
announcements.
Products: Refined report outline; draft sections of the final report
Meetings: None
Budget: $25,000
Schedule: Weeks 5-12
TASK 3 SITE VISIT, WORKSHOP, PRESENTATIONS
In general, the idea is to bring ECO staff (Moore) and
FTB staff (Freedman) to Spokane Valley to meet with Transpo
(Fueston), City staff, and other interested parties. Prior
to that meeting the consultant will prepare a summary of our
technical analysis for public distribution.
The City staff and consultant team will meet over a two -
day period in Spokane Valley. The activities would include:
• Consultant meeting and site tour (miday, Day 1).
Michael Freedman will need to see the corridor, and
the consultants will need to meet to polish their
message for the meetings on the next day.
• Internal meeting of the staff / consultant team
(afternoon, Day 1). Consultants will discuss with the
City the conclusions of the draft report and the
format and materials for the rest of the day's events.
Based on that meeting the consultants will make last -
minute adjustments to their presentation materials.
The team will also discuss existing and possible City
policies.
Spokane Valley, Corridor Study ECONorthwest July 2004 Page 9
• Focus / stakeholder groups / open house (morning, Day
2). All the consultants are adept at running focus
groups and workshops. The consultants will provide the
City with a description of options for the afternoon
event in Task 2, and will jointly decide with the city
which option to implement. options include (1) a
single workshop open to the general public; (2) three
focus groups in parallel on day one (probably in the
evening): transportation (Fueston), land use and
development, and street design as it relates to
enfronting development (Freedman), and economics
(Moore); and (3) an in -depth workshop with
representatives of businesses in the Corridor. City
staff is responsible for all logistical support for
these meetings, including invitations, room,
refreshments, and note - taking.
• Presentation to City Council (evening, Day 2).
Consultants will present their draft evaluation
report, the response of the workshop participants to
the key elements of the report, and any adjustments to
their findings that they recommend based on those
comments. Consultants will prepare a PowerPoint
presentation summarizing the results and
recommendations of the study. The presentation will be
aimed at conveying technical information to technical
and non - technical audiences.'
ECO would summarize the results of the site visit, and
the implications for next steps in a memorandum to be
delivered five working -days after the site visit.
Products: Draft report and summary material
Meetings: One
Budget: $9,000
Schedule: Week 13 (Approximately; early October)
TASK 4 FINAL REPORT
We will summarize our research in a draft of a final
report that we will submit to City staff for review and
comment. The City will provide a single set of consolidated
comments in writing. We will incorporate agreed upon changes
into the document and provide the City with one unbound copy of
final report and one copy in electronic format (MS Word, Excel, or Adobe PDF).
' The consultants favor a few clear charts and diagrams that highlight the key issues without
getting bogged down in details. They will focus on the policy issues facing the public and
policymakers. Combining sound technical work with good public presentations provides citizens
with a solid foundation upon which to snake a judgment about what they think is right for
their community.
Page 10 ECONorthwest July 2004 Spokane Valley, Corridor Study
We will also provide a PowerPoint presentation that summarizes the key
findings of the report for a non - technical audience. The City staff can use that
presentation material for presentation to the City Council and other local groups.
Products: Final report
Meetings: None
Budget: $7,000
Schedule: Weeks 14-18
SUMMARY OF SCHEDULE AND BUDGET; PAYMENTS
The scope of work above leads to meetings in Spokane
Valley and a presentation of draft work in early October
2004. The exact time will depend on the schedules of
stakeholders, City Councilors, City staff, and consultants.
Early to mid - October will probably be best. That will allow
time for the consultants to revise the draft report and
deliver a final report by mid- November as the City has
requested.
The total budget for this project in $49,000. The
"Agreement for Professional Services" between consultant and
the City stipulates that the consultant will bill the City
monthly for work done and actual costs {labor and expenses)
incurred. Thus, the budget numbers listed by task above are
only to illustrate the approximate allocation of effort.
Billings and payments will be monthly based on actual work,
and will not exceed $49,000.
