Work Session and Regular Meeting

Meeting Date:	03/26/2019
Department:	Public Works

AGENDA CAPTION:

Present and Discuss the Appointment of a Special Project Committee to Provide Input on Art and Station Design Elements Associated with the DART Cotton Belt Regional Rail Project.

BACKGROUND:

In December 2018, DART awarded a contract to Archer Western Herzog Joint Venture (AWH) for the design and construction of the Cotton Belt Regional Rail Project. AWH is currently working on the design of the rail corridor. As part of the design process, DART and AWH need to develop design concepts for each station along the route. While some station design elements will be consistent in each station, other features will be selected so that each station reflects its community.

To do so, DART is proposing to use an Art & Design Committee to provide input on these unique design elements. DART has requested that the Town provide 8-14 individuals to make up Addison's Art and Design Committee. DART's process is anticipated to include five committee workshops over four months.

Staff will present the attached presentation and request direction from Council on the appointment process for committee members.

RECOMMENDATION:

Staff requests direction from Council.
