C
Hi
joe
archbald,
I
am
the
planning
and
zoning
commission
liaison
to
the
multimodal
transit
commission.
B
B
Well,
grand
welcome
cat
lydia
brewer.
B
Okay,
john
bassone.
B
Great
hey,
john
maggie
allman.
I
B
Excellent
welcome
man,
randy
warren.
B
J
B
Great
welcome
kim,
okay,
everyone
so
a
real,
quick
housekeeping
item.
I
know
that
we
are
not
bound
by
any
you
know,
structure
for
meetings.
Necessarily,
I
wanted
to
gauge
the
commission's
interest
in
test
driving
a
procedure
that
might
help
us
preserve
some
of
our
meeting
time
for
more
of
that
kind
of
discussion
and
kind
of
the
nitty
gritty
that
we're
all
here
to
do
so.
B
With
that
in
mind,
if
you
could
scroll
to
the
end
of
the
commission,
end
of
the
agenda
you'll
see
a
commission
procedure
section
and
it's
just
really
it's
very
standard
stuff.
What
I
would
do
is
I'd,
introduce
the
agenda
item.
We
would
hear
from
staff
or
other
experts.
There's
a
petitioner
we'd
hear
from
those
folks
as
well.
Then
we'd
have
somebody
public
content.
That's
con!
That's
consistent
with
that
item
and
then
we
would
make
a
motion
as
a
as
a
group.
Someone
to
make
a
motion
of
the
commission.
B
We'd
have
a
second
and
that's
where
we
would
have
our
debate
and
we
would
have
a
discussion.
So
you
know
we
get
this
this
agenda
a
couple
of
days
in
advance.
So
you
know,
within
these
few
days,
we've
probably
all
gone
through
a
lot
of
the
supporting
documentation.
We've
been
out
and
visited
these
sites,
so
we
do
have,
I
think,
we're
coming
with
a
lot
of
these
ideas
and
I
just
think
it's
a
good
time
for
us
to
kind
of
meld
it
all
together.
B
We
make
a
motion
of
substitution
if
necessary,
we'll
recall
a
vote
and
we
go
on
to
the
next
order
of
business.
That
sounds
like
a
plan.
We
can
test
out
perfect
all
right
thumbs
up
around
excellent,
we'll
give
it
a
shot.
K
K
I
can
understand
the
procedure
dennis.
This
is
kim.
So
are
you
suggesting
that
would
work
sort
of
like
a
consent
agenda
where
everyone
reviews
the
parts,
but
there's
only
one
motion
and
vote
for
all
items.
B
B
Welcome
okay,
so
let's
give
it
a
test.
The
first
item
is
today's
agenda.
The
february
24th
2021
agenda
for
our
meeting.
Do
I
have
a
motion
to
approve.
B
All
right,
quick
roll
call,
maggie.
E
B
E
E
B
And
I'm
and
I
as
well
beautiful
motion
carries
the
next
item.
Is
our
minutes
from
our
last
meeting
january
27
2021.
Can
I
get
a
motion
to
approve.
B
Maggie
moves
in
a
second,
a
second
john,
with
a
second
all
right.
Any
comments,
corrections
clarifications
on
our
minutes.
B
Right
on
maggie,
I
john.
J
E
I
B
B
Excellent
welcome
carmen.
Thank
you.
We
did
receive
the
your
some
of
your
comments,
but
I
know
you're
you're
here
to
talk
really
I'm
glad
that
you're
here
and
we're
interested
in
what
you
have
to
say
if
you
could
just
for
the
record
state
your
name
and
your
address
and
tell
us
why
you're
here.
B
E
E
M
M
So
I'm
really
grateful
to
be
speaking
to
you
all
today
about
this
plan
and,
like
I
said
I
am
hoping
for
the
commission's
endorsement
for
the
proposal.
So
during
this
time
the
city
has
been
working
on
what
it
means
to
reimagine.
Public
safety
and
better
buses
together
is
proposing
that
safety
on
transit
is
also
reimagined.
M
While
the
position
would
include
the
responsibilities
of
current
secure
security
guards
on
the
platform,
it
would
entail
providing
more
support
and
more
communication
with
the
individuals
who
ride
the
buses.
This
position
would
be
staffed
by
professionals
skilled
in
conflict
resolution,
de-escalation,
intervention
and
it
would
also
have
training
built
in
that-
would
recognize
mental
health
issues
and
it
would
help
to
engage
and
create
connections
with
transit
in
advance
of
the
meeting.
M
I've
sent
you
all
an
email
that
I
hope
you've
received,
and
that
includes
the
proposal
and
there
you'll
find
more
information,
the
cost
analysis
and
some
feedback
from
the
writers
you'll
also
be
able
to
find
links
about
other
cities
that
are
implementing
similar
positions
in
their
transit
operations
and
in
the
email.
You
will
also
find
a
link
to
an
endorsement
form
that
can
be
used
when
the
commission
is
ready
to
support
this
proposal.
M
It's
a
crucial
time
to
improve
and
reimagine
the
safety
of
our
community.
This
proposed
position
would
be
a
model
of
a
new
and
innovative
way
to
do
that,
and
that's
all
I
have
thank
you
so
much
for
allowing
me
to
speak
today.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
now
or
in
my
email.
I've
provided
my
contact
info,
so
you're
welcome
to
reach
out
that
way
too.
B
D
I
don't
have
a
a
question,
but
as
much
as
more
of
a
comment
on
this,
I
had
attended
a
few
meetings
where
this
had
come
up
at
the
better
buses
initiative,
and
I
thought
this
was
a
fantastic
idea
and
I
don't
know
if
anybody's
seen
the
news
as
of
today
but
there's
been
yet
another.
Individual
who's,
unfortunately
lost
his
life
at
the
hands
of
police.
D
And
if
we
look
at
the
details
of
this,
it
looks
like
it
was
due
to
poor
training
on
the
on
the
police's
part.
It's
not
asheville,
but
you
know,
I
think,
any
time
that
we
can
replace
a
police
officer
for
for
a
call
like
this
that
that's
money
well
spent.
I
would
totally
endorse
this.
I
I
have
a
question,
I'm
not
sure
carmen
if
it's
for
you
or
for
jessica's
staff,
but
before
the
question
I
love
just
economics
work
and
I'm
so
grateful
to
see
the
organizing
that
you're
doing
and
for
y'all
to
be
so
proactive
like
thinking
of
solutions
and
bringing
them
here.
It's
such
a
nice
way
a
lot
of
times
as
community
organizers.
We
have
to
be
reactive,
but
it
just
feels
really
nice
to
see
this
proactive
approach,
especially
ahead
of
budget
season,
which
is
very
well
timed.
So
thank
you.
I
M
I
And
do
you
know
or
does
anyone
know,
is
that
because,
because
of
our
relationship,
I
know
that
the
city
of
asheville
manages
a
management
company
to
to
do
a
lot
of
transit
stuff.
Do
we
actually
sign
the
contract
with
this
security
company,
or
is
that
through
our
the
management
company
that
manages
the
transit
system
for
us.
M
So
I'll
ask
jessica
to
answer
that
I
was
under
the
impression
it
was
one
thing,
but
I
recently
found
other
information
but
well
I'll,
let
her
answer
and
then
I
might
have
some
feedback
if.
L
E
L
Okay,
so
the
currently
the
way
that
it's
done
and
it
may
have
been
different
in
the
past
under
the
previous
contractor,
but
so
we
contract
with
ritp
dev
to
run
the
system
and
then
they
contract
out
to
do
the
security
and
up
until
maybe
I
can't
remember,
because
time
is
like
a
construct
now,
but
up
until
about
maybe
six
or
eight
months
ago.
L
It
was
a
combination
of
a
private
security
company,
mostly
during
the
day
and
then
in
the
evenings.
We
would
have
an
apd,
off-duty
officer,
be
the
security
and
we
changed
that,
like
I
said
in
the
last,
maybe
six
to
eight
months
where
we
were
able
to
take
the
the
same
amount
of
funding
that
we
had
available
for
security
and
we
were
able
to
remove
apd's
role
and
add
additional
security.
Slash
help
in
the
evenings
at
the
center.
So
instead
of
having
apd
be
there
because
they
were
not
always
there
consistently.
L
I
checked
with
with
the
general
contractor
today
and
he
said
that
we
currently
have
about
147
hours
a
week
of
security
coverage
and
it's
basically
16
hours
a
day
except
for
sundays,
is
a
little
bit
less
and
there's
one
security
officer
that
covers
like
the
morning
and
early
afternoon,
and
then
we
have
two
security
officers
in
the
late
afternoon
through
the
evening
hours.
So
that's
what
we
currently
have
and
the
contract
amount
for
that
is
about
137
000.
B
Okay,
great
pat,
do
you
have
a
comment
or
a
question.
H
M
So
you'll
find
a
cost
analysis
that
we
did,
and
so
this
137
is
different
than
in
the
cost
analysis,
and
would
you
know
obviously
make
the
amount
less?
That
would
be
the
difference
and
you'll
see
that.
J
So
so
we're
asking
basically
that
this
proposal
asking
to
take
this
aspect
away
from
the
security
company
away
from
the
contract
and
to
make
it
a
city
employee
or
is
it
and
I'm
wondering,
is
it
so
most
cities
that
have
sizeable
transit
organizations
have
transit
police,
which
is
a
division
of
the
regular
police
and
they're
specially
trained
to
handle
those
types
of
things
there?
Theoretically,
sometimes
it's
considered
a
punishment
to
have
to
work,
transit,
police
duty,
but.
M
So
better
buses
isn't
really
in
a
place
to
make
that
sort
of
call
for
the
city.
They
are
up
for
a
renewal
of
their
contract,
retp
dev,
who
is
the
management
of
the
transit,
and
we
are
hoping
that
if
this
proposal
moves
forward,
what
that
could
look
like
was
the
city
and
to
the
management
company
determining
how
that
would
happen.
So
either
the
city
could
take
back
the
security
portion
or
the
management
company
could
say,
yeah
we'll
do
that.
We
just
need
the
parameters.
B
Okay,
michael,
did
you
have
a
comment.
D
Yeah,
so
it
seems
like
this
is
a
a
hybrid
of
two
positions.
Would
there
be
a
security
guard
and
a
social
working
position
is
my
understanding.
D
It
just
so
happens
that
the
bus
station
is
directly
across
the
street
from
buncombe,
county
health
and
human
services.
Is
this
an
opportunity
where
we
could
combine
resources
with?
And
I
don't
know
who
the
best
answer
this?
Maybe
it's
kim
or
or
jessica,
but
it's
just
an
opportunity
where
we
can
combine
resources
and
work
in
tandem
with
the
county
and
anytime
that
social
work
aspect
comes
up.
B
Yeah,
michael,
I
think
that's
a
really
good
point.
I
mean
the
sense
I
I
mean
after
going
through
the
documents.
You
know,
I
think
it's
it's
really
strong,
so
maybe
what
we
could
do
is
we
could
ask
jessica
for
her
team
to
take
this
and
do
some
background
and
bring
it
back
to
us
as
an
agenda
item.
So
we
can
kind
of
understand
some
of
these
questions.
You
know
I
don't
want
to
put
anyone
in
the
spot
and
have
to
you
know,
answer
some
of
these
more
detailed
questions
but
jessica.
B
Maybe
we
can
do
that
and
then
add
this
to
a
future
agenda
item
just
make
sure
that
we
have
both
carmen's
document
and
then
her
contact
info.
So
we
can
notify
her
once
this
goes
back
to
our
agenda
comes
back
to
our
meeting
as
an
agenda
item.
L
Well,
I
like
the
whole
idea
as
a
as
an
ideal
to
work
towards,
and
I
really
like
michael's
idea
of
trying
to
talk
with
the
county,
especially
since
they're
literally
right
across
the
street
and
so
I'll
get
in
touch
with
you,
because
I
think
I
would
need
support
for
getting
some
more
information
from
your
organization.
M
I
B
Okay,
let's
see
our
first
order
of
business
is
the
presentation
on
the
charlotte
street
update
the
good
folks
from
traffic
planning
and
design
inc
are
here
to
present.
A
Thanks
for
having
us,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
share
slides
and
I'm
going
to
have
you
confirm
that
you
can
see
them
here?
B
N
I'll
get
started,
we
know
a
good
many
of
you
just
tried
being
around
town.
I
was
I'm
a
former
mmtc
member.
I
was
on
joe's
spot
representing
pnz,
so
been
there
know
what
you're
doing
but
christy
and
I
both
work
in
asheville
and
our
office
is
actually
on
charlotte
street.
We
work
for
traffic
planning
and
design
and
we
were
the
lead
firm
on
the
charlotte
street
road
diet
project,
along
with
local
firms,
equinox
and
mcgill,
and
at
that
time
I
was
with
my
own
company.
N
You
have
our
contact
information
there
we're
going
to
give
a
very
quick
project
overview,
just
not
knowing
how
many
of
you
have
dug
into
the
details
of
what
we
did.
I
hope
you've
all
been
on
the
corridor
and
have
experienced
it.
So
we
have
a
really
short
powerpoint
presentation
today
and
if
there
are
questions
we
have
an
expanded
one
that
we
can
have
queued
up
to
give
more
information
about
the
actual
project,
because
bulk
of
our
time,
we're
gonna
focus
on
the
before
and
after
study.
N
So
there's
charlotte
street
before
you
go
ahead,
christy
and
just
in
terms
of
of
the
goal
of
the
project,
we
thought
it
was
good
to
start
here.
One
thing
about
this
project
is
when
council
voted
on
our
contract
and
when
the
bond
bond
referendum
went
through,
charlotte
street
was
important
for
the
bond
and
when
our
contract
went
through,
they
made
a
really
clear.
N
The
mayor
made
a
very
clear
statement
that
asheville's
vision
is
multimodal
and
that
all
the
all
the
road
projects
that
the
city
does
in
the
future
really
have
to
think
about
multi-mobile
kind
of
connectivity
and
this
charlotte
street
was
kind
of
the
first
test
case
of
a
big
roadway
project
that
was
coming
through
after
the
aim
plan
had
been
adopted
and
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
christy
to
talk
through
some
of
the
details
about
the
construction
and
the
timing
and
the
budget
before
we
get
into
the
before
and
after
details.
A
Thanks
christy
and
yeah,
I
just
we
wanted
to
step
back.
We
were
asked
to
come
and
show
you
the
before
and
after
results,
but,
like
christy
said,
we
just
wanted
to
step
back
and
give
kind
of
an
overview
of
a
few
things
of
the
project,
the
details
and
we
could,
like
she
said,
dive
into
more
detail
at
another
time
if
needed
on
the
process.
A
However,
we
just
wanted
to
start
by
acknowledging
that
this
project
was
budget
constrained.
There
was
about
a
million
dollars
for
construction
and
we
had
to
get
it
from.
You
know
through
the
public
engagement
process,
to
bid
docs
within
six
months,
and
then
it
went
to
bid
and
was
completed
in
the
following
year
and
the
constraints
we
had-
and
those
of
you
who
are
familiar
with
this
corridor
know
that
there
were
a
lot
of
needs
right.
So
if
you
look
at
this
photo,
you
can
see
the
utility
poles
in
the
sidewalk.
A
You
can
see,
there's
parking
backing
up
into
the
pedestrian
zones.
The
road
is
narrow,
there's
drainage
issues
and
a
lot
of
vision
for
this
corridor.
Widening
sidewalks
things
like
that,
and
we
were
given
the
directives.
Stay
within
curb
to
curb,
with
it's
really
a
repaving
project,
we're
getting
something
done
with
repaving,
and
if
we
have
some
extra
money
we're
going
to
upgrade
sidewalks
as
best
we
can.
We
were
not
able
to
purchase
right
away,
or
you
know,
get
substantial
easements
beyond
what
is
public
right
away
now.
A
So
just
kind
of
having
that
in
mind,
as
we
start
looking
here
at
some
of
the
details
and
the
project
limits
were
from
the
I-240
off-ramp,
the
I-240
west
off-ramp
to
edwin
place,
so
that
just
gives
you
some
context
and
we
had
to
deal
with
the
transition
on
the
south
end
of
the
corridor
by
240
to
not
affect
the
d.o.t
owned
and
maintained
signal
at
the
ramps,
and
just
to
give
you
a
brief
traffic
context,
I
know
that
you
all
have
other
locations
you're
considering
road
diet.
So
I
thought
this
might
be
helpful.
A
We
were
dealing
with
this.
The
section
on
the
left
here
was
the
widest
portion
of
the
corridor,
but
on
the
right
you
can
see
that
that
curb
face
to
curb
face
was
in
some
places
less
than
40
feet.
So
we
really
spent
a
lot
of
time
looking
at.
A
Can
we
actually
fit
five
foot
bike
lanes
and
three
lanes
of
traffic
when
we're
under
40
feet?
So
there's
a
few
of
these
lanes
that
are
probably
nine
and
a
half
feet
wide,
so
it's
really
tight
there
and
so
really
doing
the
road
diet
with
the
two
bike
lanes
at
minimum
width
was
as
much
as
would
fit
there
and
again.
The
preview
is
that
it
was
four
lanes
of
traffic,
no
turning
lanes,
no
bike
facilities,
poor
pedestrian
facilities.
A
Before
and
after
we
went
to
providing
a
two-way
left
turn
lane
which
allows
for
better.
You
know,
traffic
can
get
into
the
turn
lane
to
make
left
turns
so
that,
hopefully,
to
reduce
rear,
end
crashes
and
stopping
and
starting
along
the
corridor,
and
then
we
got
the
bike
lanes
in
as
well,
and
we
also
were
tasked
with
looking
at
pedestrian
improvements
and
crossing
improvements
along
the
corridor.
A
One
thing
that
was
really
great
with
this
project
is:
we
got
matt
lee
who's
a
resident
here
offered
to
join
us
on
a
site
visit
with
the
project
manager
and
we
walked
the
corridor
and
got
experience
real
time.
The
challenge
is
maneuvering
a
wheelchair
along
this
corridor
and
really
helped
that
really
helped
us
prioritize
where
we
would
invest
any
additional
budget
leftover
budget.
We
had
on
sidewalk
improvements
and
so
the
way
it
we
didn't
have
enough
to
do
both
sides
of
the
road.
A
A
So
it's
reversible
if
there
was
a
need
and
two,
so
it
can
be
moved
through
by
emergency
vehicles.
So
that
was
just
a
concession
to
kind
of
help.
People
get
over
their
fear
and
it
also
helped
with
turning
movements
to
and
from
side
streets,
which
would
be
hard
with
narrow
lanes
and
a
median
refuge.
A
We
did
some
bicycling
improvements,
bike
detection,
these
green
bike
boxes,
and
we
also
did
some
signal
improvements
for
pedestrians
and
bikes
that,
when
the
pad
push
buttons
were
called,
it
doesn't
keep
a
flashing
arrow
or
allow
the
green
left
turns
to
go
at
the
same
time
so
to
protect
them.
A
So
there
were
a
number
of
kind
of
technology
elements
we
were
able
to
incorporate
and
to
give
you
the
traffic
context
north
of
chestnut
street,
the
adt
previous
was
ranging,
depending
on
what
segment
you
were
on,
but
generally
about
12
000
vehicles
per
day,
but
south
of
chestnut.
What
you're
seeing
here
was
closer
to
20
000
per
day,
and
that
speaks
to
kind
of
as
traffic
funnels
in
to
this
corridor,
to
get
to
the
interchange
and
can
back
up
at
the
i240
interchange.
N
A
Thank
you.
Yes,
thank
you,
so
yeah
that
was
one
of
the
challenges
here
is
that
we
had
to
transition
in
this
area
back
to
tulane
southbound,
so
that
the
queuing
here
would
not
back
up
through
the
chestnut
street
signal,
and
since
we
could
not,
I
think,
had
we
had
a
budget
and
a
project
limit
that
involved.
The
interchange,
ramps
more
could
have
been
done,
but
you
know
with
that
being
dot
ownership
that
was
not
feasible
with
the
scope
of
this
project.
A
So
what
we
did
is
the
city
that
you
know,
thanks
to
their
forethought,
agreed
to
develop
a
scope
of
work
to
do
before
and
after
traffic
results
and
studies
so
that
we
could
see
truly.
You
know
people
were
worried
about
travel
times
really
increasing
with
these
types
of
projects,
and
some
people
were
worried
about
cut
through
traffic
on
side
streets,
and
so
you
know
that
forethought
allowed
us
to
get
data
collected
in
november
of
new
2019
prior
to
implementation,
and
then
we
have
three
phases
of
data
collection.
A
There
was
the
pre-implementation
in
november
of
2019.
We
just
did
a
rounded
data
collection.
This
october
november
tried
to
capture
a
leaf
season
as
best
we
could,
and
then
we
also
have
another
phase
of
post
implementation
data
collection.
A
The
issue
now
with
covid
is
that
we
we
originally
scheduled
that
nine
to
12
months
post
implementation,
but
you
know
there
there's
got
to
be
some
discussion
about.
Do
we
want
to
wait?
Till
traffic
volumes
have
come
back
up
so
that
we
really
get
a
good
picture
of
before
and
after
data.
A
So
before
I
get
into
all
the
results,
I
just
have
to
put
the
big
caveat
out
there
is
that
we
all
know
the
traffic
patterns
are
not
the
same
right
now
due
to
covet
and
travel
patterns.
So
you
know
I,
unfortunately,
you
know
we
get.
We
gained
insights
with
the
data
we
collected,
but
it's
not
as
conclusive
as
we
would
have
hoped,
and
so
I
think
that
for
us
to
really
land
on
some
solid
data,
it's
it's
probably
going
to
be
about
a
year
down
the
road.
A
So
what
we
did
as
far
as
data
collection,
you
can
see
these
green
spots
here.
These
are
all
hose
counts,
so
the
tubes
you
see
across
roads
that
traffic
engineers
put
out
and
what
they
allow
us
to
collect
is
the
type
of
vehicle.
So
we
put
down
a
really
thin
tube.
That
would
pick
up
bicycle
volumes.
A
It'll
tell
you
if
there's
trucks,
passenger
cars,
bikes
and
it
also
collects
travel,
speed
data
and
then
what
we
did
is
this
24-hour
data,
so
we
get
peak
hour,
counts
and
24-hour
data
for
those
locations.
So
we
had
three
locations
along
charlotte
street
and
then
two
of
the
side
streets
that
people
were
concerned
about
cut
through
traffic
and
that
would
be
madison
avenue
and
washington
road.
A
Then
we
also
use
the
technology,
that's
pretty
cool,
because
it
allows
you
to
get
travel
time,
so
it
picks
up
bluetooth
devices
so
down
at
clayton
street,
we
put
what
they
call
bluemac
device
and
it
picks
up
any
bluetooth
device
in
a
car
on
a
phone
and
it
matches
the
ip
address
at
different
points
along
the
corridor.
So
you
can
see
you
know
that
device
might
have
passed
at
clayton
street
at
a
certain
time
stamp
and
then
edwin
at
another,
so
that
we
could
see
how
long
it's
taking
folks
to
get
through
the
corridor.
A
We
put
an
additional
bluemac
device
right
around
baird
street
so
that
we
could
break
out
the
delay
associated
with
chestnut
street.
So,
as
you
come
off
the
interchange,
you
know
between
clayton
and
baird.
If
that
time
went
up,
you'd
know
that
that
was
likely
due
to
the
signal
at
chestnut
street
so
getting
into
the
results.
We
have
a
summary
at
the
end.
A
This
is,
very,
you
know,
heavy
traffic
stuff,
so
hopefully
we
don't
bore
you
all,
but
first
of
all
the
speeds
this
chart
on
the
right
shows
you
that
down
at
clayton,
the
speeds
are
generally
the
same
before
and
after
at
baird
they
went
down
and
that's
where
we
would
hope
that
they
go
down
is
kind
of
like
in
the
heart
of
the
road
diet,
application
at
edwin
place.
A
They
actually
went
up
a
bit
it's
about
four
miles
per
hour,
and
that
is
where
the
project
ends
and
the
lane
configurations
weren't
any
really
different.
Before
and
after,
and
also
we
had
some
weird
outliers
on
the
week
that
we
did
the
traffic
data
off
the
peak,
there
were
some
really
crazy
high-end
speeds.
A
A
A
Interestingly,
bicycle
travel
really
increased.
You
can
see
here
at
clayton.
It
went
up
by
75
and
that's
kind
of
what
used
to
be.
This
is
on
the
south
end
of
the
corridor
near
the
interchange
that
used
to
be
kind
of
the
most
most
hostile
location
along
the
corridor
for
bikes,
so
to
see
traffic
bike
traffic
go
up.
A
There
does
speak
to
the
benefits
of
this
road
diet
project
and
then
it
shows
a
slight
decrease
at
barrett
and
edwin,
but
I
just
want
to
point
out
that
that's
like
four
to
six
vehicles
and
that
could
be
a
daily
fluctuation
any
given
time
depending
on
whether
or
whether
people
are
out
so
so.
These
are
statistically
probably
not
as
significant.
A
Just
touching
base
on
those
traffic
volumes
again,
one
thing
I
wanted
to
note
when
we're
looking
at
travel
time
data
is
that
nationally-
and
this
prove
this
is
true
here
too,
am
traffic
volumes
are
down
a
lot
more
than
pm
traffic
volumes.
So
here
the
am
peak
hour.
A
But
I'm
going
to
point
you
to
two
numbers
here,
so
this
is
the
am
peak
hour,
travel
time
from
the
blue
mac,
the
bluetooth
data
we
collected
and
I'm
going
to
point
you
to
this
negative
1.5
and
negative
3.2.
And
so
that's
saying,
if
you're
going
northbound
the
difference
between
before
and
after
going
all
the
way
from
clayton
to
edwin
was
down
1.5
seconds
so
with
the
road
diet
in
the
am
it
takes
less
time
to
get
from
beginning
to
end
and
southbound
the
same
and
then
in
the
pm.
A
Also,
I'm
going
northbound
it's
down
5.8
seconds
and
southbound
is
down
seven
seconds
and
I
want
to
point
out
one
little
detail
here.
If
you
look
at
this
mid
section
beared
to
edwin,
that's
the
section
that
includes
one
signal
and
for
those
of
you
familiar
with
the
corridor,
you
know
it's
hillside
and
the
intersection
at
hillside
is
complex
and
that
you
know
that's
not
where
we
thought
we
would
see
an
increase
in
travel
time
because
there's
not
a
lot
of
traffic
volume
coming
off
of
hillside.
A
A
So
for
those
you
know,
this
is
a
little
technical
I'll,
try
to
keep
it
simple,
but
you
know
if
you're
coming
up
hillside
and
waiting
at
the
light
to
get
onto
charlotte
street
during
the
peak
hour,
there's
only
so
many
times
during
the
hour
that
that
signal
gets
called
because
there's
not
always
cars
waiting
there,
that's
pre-coded,
but
during
covid
that
side
street
got
called
every
signal
cycle
because
it
was
on
ped
recall.
So
I
I'm
thinking
and
we'll
see
this
with
the
next
round
of
data
that
this
increase.
A
There
is
just
due
to
the
ped
recall,
so
that's
another
factor
we'll
be
looking
at.
N
L
A
Our
understanding
is
that
the
side
street
was
getting
called
regardless
to
allow
peds
to
cross
without
having
to
push
the
button,
and
we
need
to
go
back
and
make
sure
that
operation
is
the
case.
But
if
that's
happening
and
that
side
she's
getting
is
called
every
phase.
That
would
increase
the
amount
of
delay
on
the
main
through
movement.
E
A
Not
necessarily
because
we
didn't
do
pedestrian
accounts,
because
that
is
a
pretty
expensive
endeavor.
We
have
the
data,
the
video
data.
If
the
city
ever
wants
to
cut
like
compare
them,
so
they
can
count
pedestrians,
but
it's
a
pretty
time
intensive
thing.
What
it
really
means
is
the
signals
are
set
to
assume
there's
a
pedestrian
there,
even
if
there's
not-
and
that
was
just
a
city-wide
policy
change
that
happened
during
that
time,
which
is
hey,
you
don't
have
to
use
the
push
buttons
we're
going
to
set
the
signals
to
oh.
A
Okay,
so
the
implication
is,
I
think
that
delay
is
less
than
like.
It's
saying
it
takes
more
eight
seconds,
that's
not
a
lot
of
time,
but
it
probably
actually
pre
and
post
implementation
is
not
an
increase.
It's
really
just
because
the
s,
the
signal
timing,
that's
set
right
right
now
because
of
cobin
thanks.
A
Hopefully
that
makes
sense,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
thought
was
interesting
is
I
thought
the
times
the
delay
we
would
see
if
there
was
any
increase
would
be
at
chestnut
street,
which
would
be
this
top
section,
but
we're
actually
seeing
that
the
travel
times
are
down
pretty
substantially
there
during
the
pmp
I
mean
12
seconds
is
a
is
a
decent
reduction
in
delay
and
then
just
kind
of
moving
to
the
side
street
data
collection
so
on
washington
road
we
compared
the
hose
counts
that
we
collected
and
the
speeds
actually
went
down,
pre
to
post
implementation
and
again
that's
during
covid.
A
So
it's
hard
to
know
exactly
how
to
interpret
that
data
and
the
volumes
went
down
so
speeds
reduced
by
24
volumes
came
down
by
45
percent
bicycles
up
a
bit,
not
tons,
and
then
on
madison
avenue.
We
did
not
see
an
increase
of
cut
through
or
speeds.
It
was
also
down
21
in
speed
and
37
with
traffic
volumes.
A
I
think
the
adtf
bicycles
is
relatively
insignificant
at
these
levels.
So
hopefully
those
bikes
are
headed
over
to
charlotte
street
now,
and
then
we
also
wanted
to
point
out
that
we
future
evaluations
are
still
in
place.
So
the
transit
data.
We
need
to
get
some
additional
transit
data
to
really
determine
whether
bus
usership
has
gone
up.
So
that's
something
we'll
be
adding
in
the
future
rounds
of
data
collection
and
crash
history.
So
the
way
crash
data
is
reported.
A
It
takes
a
good
year
before
the
previous
year's
data
is
entered
in
the
system
and
we
can
pull
it
and
last
year
was
half
in
half
before
the
road
diet,
half
after
the
road
diet.
So
we
don't
have
a
full
year
of
crashed
out
at
a
poll
yet
so
we
will
be
eventually
comparing
pre
and
post
crash
data,
but
we
don't
have
enough
data
yet,
and
I
also
wanted
to
point
out
that,
like
I
said
a
minute
ago,
we
did
have
all
the
traffic
video
for
every
intersection.
A
So
if,
at
some
point
the
city
wants
to
go
back
and
look
at
pedestrian
behavior,
you
know,
are
they
walking
more
freely
in
the
sidewalk
where
before
they
used
to
have
to
hug,
you
know
as
far
away
from
traffic
as
they
could
get?
You
know
you
could
see
pedestrian
behavior.
You
could
look
at
yielding
rates
of
vehicles
for
pedestrians.
A
We
can
look
at
total
pedestrian
volumes
with
that
data.
So
we
have
the
video
it's
there
if
the
city
wants
to
take
a
deeper
dive
at
some
point
or
you
know,
have
an
intern
or
something
that
has
time
to
process
that
so
just
kind
of
an
overall
summary
speeds
are
generally
down
adt's
over
overall
down
due
to
covid,
almost
rebounded
in
the
pm
to
pre-copied
levels.
Bikes
are
higher
on
the
south
end,
depending
on
the
segment.
A
You
know:
bike
usage
has
gone
up,
cut
throughs
on
the
side,
streets
are
down,
am
peak
hour,
volumes
are
down
overall
pm
peak
hour,
volumes
are
down,
but
almost
rebounded
the
travel
time
data,
I
would
say
in
general,
it
shows
less
time
to
go
through
the
corridor,
so
the
impact
people
are
afraid
about.
You
know
in
increasing
travel
times
is
not
shown
through
this
data,
but
it's
also
during
covid.
A
So
I
think
that
it's
probably
a
little
too
early
for
us
to
make
some
kind
of
solid
deductions
from
the
data
we
collected
and
then
we'll
do
some
future
study
on
crash
data
and
transit.
A
But
I
think
just
briefly
want
to
touch
base
on
the
feedback
the
city
has
gotten.
So
I
think
the
feedback
really
speaks
to
the
benefit
of
the
road
diet
and
I'm
actually,
I
think
I
have
enough
time
here-
I'm
actually
going
to
read
these
because
they're
really
impactful
and
it
really
speaks
to
the
impact
of
traffic
calming
isn't
always
quantified
by
speeds
and
volumes.
It's
really
the
experience
and
whether
things
feel
safer.
So
I'm
going
to
start
at
the
top
left
here.
One
of
the
quotes
we
got
the
left
turn
lane.
A
Turning
lane
is
so
much
safer
than
before.
She
now
enjoys
driving
on
charlotte
street.
Due
to
the
new
traffic
flow.
Next
over,
we
can
officially
feel
safe
walking
around
our
own
neighborhood.
Everyone
is
safer,
whether
you're
in
a
car
on
a
bike
on
foot
or
in
a
wheelchair
bottom
left
says.
I
find
now
that
the
traffic
runs
much
smoother
and
feels
and
seems
much
safer
to
me.
I'm
sure
that
the
data
will
prove
that
it
is
safer.
A
Another
one
was
first
time
since
moving
here.
I
feel
safe
walking
on
charlotte
street,
and
then
this
this
last
quote
was
from
matt
who
walked
the
corridor
with
us
and
helped
us
determine
where
to
and
how
to
do
improvements
for
mobility
for
folks
in
wheelchairs,
and
he
said
I
just
wanted
to
offer
a
heartfelt
thank
you
to
each
of
you
and
all
who
were
involved
in
making
that
stretch
of
charlotte,
safer
and
more
accessible.
I
know
you
weren't
able
to
do
all
that
you
planned
to
do,
but
it's
still
a
vast
improvement.
A
It's
especially
freeing
to
have
access
to
sidewalks
and
to
be
able
to
explore
areas
outside
during
a
time
like
this,
and
we
even
have
a
news
quote
on
the
right
saying,
charlotte
street
road
diet.
The
businesses
say
it
seems
to
be
helping.
So
the
majority
of
the
feedback
we've
gotten
and
the
city
has
gotten
we've
just
been
collecting
this
over
time
really
reflects
this,
and
I
just
want
to
point
out
one
other
thing
that
we
we
just
did
a
survey
for
the
greenway,
ada
and
pedestrian
plans,
and
we
asked
on
that
survey.
A
What's
your
favorite
street
to
walk
on
in
asheville
and
many
people
said
charlotte
street.
So
I
think
it
has
made
a
difference
for
folks,
and
I
think
we
all
have
our
own
experience.
I
think
right
after
the
bike
lanes
went
in
colin
from
our
office
said
he
was
down
there
and
saw
kids
roll
or
saw
on
rollerblading
in
the
bike
lanes
and
I've
seen
kids
riding
in
the
bike
lane.
So
I
think
that
our
I
think
the
perception
of
safety
is
really
a
major
change.
A
So
with
that,
I
just
want
to
open
up
see
if
there's
any
additional
questions.
Unfortunately,
the
data
with
cobit,
you
know,
is
a
little
muddied
so,
but
it
is
what
it
is
so
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
D
Michael
yeah,
this
is,
I
guess,
a
pretty
detailed
question,
but
first
of
all
I
just
like
to
say
thank
you
for
the
work
that
you've
done
on
this.
I'm
an
avid
runner-
and
I
I've
run
through
that
corridor
before
and
after
and
it's
markedly
different
and
it's
a
vast
improvement
and
I
feel
very,
very
safe
through
there
and
I'm
hoping
that
this
is
a
just
a
really
nice
test
case
for
the
rest
of
the
city.
So
we
can
do
this
across
the
the
rest
of
the
city,
especially
in
in
my
neighborhood.
D
I'd
love
that.
But
the
question
that
I
actually
had
was
regarding
the
the
flat
medians
you'd
mentioned
that
there
was
some
pushback
on
that.
So
you
guys
made
a
compromise.
Did
that
push
back
come
from
our
emergency
services
or
people
in
the
neighborhood
that
were
speculating
that,
on
behalf
of
emergency
services,
that
that
was
going
to
be
an
issue.
A
D
And
the
reason
I'm
asking
because
I'm
looking
for
details
on
this,
my
my
neighborhood
in
particular
the
oakley
neighborhood,
has
fairview
road,
which
is
right
in
the
middle
of
the
neighborhood
kind
of.
D
For
the
whole
area
and
one
of
the
pieces
of
feedback
that
we've
got
as
to
why
we
can't
do
traffic
calming
measures
on
fairview
is
because
of
emergency
services.
So
I'm
just
curious
to
know
if
there's
an
actual
process
that
that
has
to
be
followed
or
if
there's
there's
some
sort
of,
I
don't
know
something
written
down
somewhere.
That
says
well.
If
this
then
no
or
if
this
then
that
and
if
that's
something
that
we'd
be
able
to
take
a
look
at
that.
If
anybody
knows
of
that.
A
Yeah
yeah
well
and,
as
I
said,
we
can
talk
more
about
that
offline.
If
you
actually
have
questions,
I
think
in
general
traffic
calming
anytime
it's
on
kind
of
a
dense
urban
street.
If,
if
you
start
talking
about
speed,
speed
humps
like
that's
where
emergency
vehicles
tend
to
have
a
delay,
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
pushback,
usually
on
that,
so
there
are
ways
through
it.
A
There's
things
called
speed,
wedges
that
allow
for
an
axle
spacing
of
an
emergency
vehicle
to
pass
without
going
over
it,
but
other
vehicles
can't
so
there
are
creative
solutions,
so
we
could
chat
offline
if
you
would
like
it
another
time,
I'm
happy
to.
L
I
I'd
like
to
add
something
to
that
to
help
answer
your
question,
michael,
so
so
different
types
of
traffic
calming
impact
emerging
emergency
services
differently.
L
L
If
it's
speed,
speed,
humps
or
speed
tables
that
and
their
if
they're,
on
primary
emergency
routes,
they
actually
have
calculations
that
they
do
to
determine
what
the
impact
to
the
response
is
and
whether
it
impacts
the
thresholds
that
they
have
to
maintain
for
emergency
response.
But
I
will
say
that
we
are.
L
We
have
recently
installed
speed
cushions
which
have,
like
christie
said
brakes
within
the
speed
hump,
to
allow
the
wheelbase
of
the
emergency
vehicles
to
pass
through
it
and
not
have
to
slow
down
and
so
we're
we
just
recently
have
installed
some
of
those.
I
cannot
remember
where
I
think
hazel
mill
and
so
far,
we've
heard
good
feedback
from
the
fire
department
on
that,
and
so
that's
something
that
we
are
looking
to
use
as
a
traffic
calming
device
in
the
future.
That
would
have
less
of
an
impact
on
emergency
services.
L
A
N
N
There
has
been
research
both
by
fhwa
and
other
states
who
have
done
before
and
after
studies
on
their
emergency
response
time,
and
what
we're
seeing
to
be
true
for
charlotte
street
is
what
the
studies
have
proven
also,
but-
and
I
was
just
showing
earlier
that
it
was
just
it
was
one
of
those
pieces
of
community
engagement
feedback
even
before
we
really
got
started
kind
of
showing
this
one,
that
some
folks
wrote.
N
Letters
to
the
editor
wls
got
a
hold
of
it
and
kind
of
got
folks
riled
up
saying
this
is
going
to
be
dangerous.
There's
an
older
gentleman
who
talked
about
how
he
had
heart
problems
and
he
was
worried.
He
was
going
to
die
because
I
was
going
to
take
emergency
response
emergency
responders
longer
to
get
to
him
so
yeah.
What
jessica
said
christy
said
about
jessica's
comment.
We'll
definitely
be
adding
that
to
the
presentation.
F
Excellent
michael
I'd
like
to
also
just
point
out:
I've
worked,
I'm
a
civil
engineer
as
well,
and
I've
worked
with
other
cities
in
the
state
that
have
used
multiple
median
islands
for
specific
instances
with
fire
trucks.
But
it's
working
with
that
specific
fire
department
and
what
they're
open
to
really
so
absolutely.
A
And
some
of
that
was
our
budget
issues
and
people
were
really
concerned
about.
You
know
there
was
this.
There
was
so
much
angst
over
so
many
years
on
this
project
that
it
was,
if
that,
if
that's
the
concession
the
medians
can
be
added
later,
if
they
need
to
be-
and
at
least
we've
gotten
it
in
and
people
feel
like.
Okay,
it's
not
permanent,
it
can
be
restriped,
so
it
kind
of
helped
as
a
an
area
to
give
to
get
to.
Yes,
not
you
know
the
medians
would
be
better
for
pedestrians
for
sure.
D
That's
totally
totally
understandable
and
nothing
against
what
you
guys
were
able
to
accomplish.
Nobody
can
ever
get
a
100
of
what
the
they're
going
for,
but
I'm
just
thinking
in
terms
of
other
other
projects
as
we
as
we
move
down
the
road
and
other
places
in
the
city.
Where
can
we,
you
know
get
the
things
that
we
weren't
able
to
get
this
last
time.
A
C
I
I
just
have
a
quick
comment.
This
is
joe
archibald.
I
really
hope
that
you
guys
in
the
city,
maybe
push
this
hard.
As
far
as
you
know,
the
the
results
already,
I
would
love
to
see.
Wlos
come
back
and
and
interview
the
fire
department
and
say.
H
C
B
Yeah,
I
agree
with
you
joe.
You
know,
I
feel
like
one
of
the
things
that
we've
done
is
we've
avoided
disaster.
There
was
so
many
doomsayers
when
this
project
was
coming
around
and
that
clearly
is
not
the
case.
I
still
think
it's
important
that
we
do
have
those
subsequent
counts,
so
we
can
prove
our
system
and
then
also
you
know
another
item
that
I
really
when
I
go
through
that
corridor.
B
The
I
think
the
coloration
of
the
different
spots
and
the
the
striping
and
everything
I
think
is
really
important
because
it
does
make
me
feel
so
much
safer
when
I
see
that
green
there's
something
about
it,
just
visually
appealing
as
you
move
through
it.
So
I
think
if
there's
a
way
to
incorporate
more
of
that
in
future
projects,
I
think
that's
a
great
idea.
B
Okay.
Our
next
item
is
unfinished.
B
O
You
may
see
me
I've
got
to
plug
in
my
power
before
I
lose
battery.
Okay,
I
am
about.
I
just
posted
the
survey
that
riverlink
is
running
for
about
another
week,
which
is
our
public
engagement
to
see.
If
we
are
correct
in
our
assumption
that
people
would
like
to
see
this
greenway's
name
change
to
the
wilma
dikeman
greenway.
O
She
is
a
very
accomplished
writer
and
environmentalist
who
wrote
the
book
titled,
the
french
broad
river,
and
she
brought
a
lot
of
attention
to
our
area
as
well
as
anyone
else
who
read
the
book
on
the
importance
of
keeping
the
french
broad
river
clean
and
also
talked
a
lot
about
the
heritage,
including
the
cherokee
heritage
of
the
french
broad
river.
O
So
we
feel
like
it
is
very
apropos
for
that
name
change
to
occur.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
safety
reasons
for
wanting
to
name
it
a
different
name
than
the
really
catchy
french
broad
river
east
bank
greenway,
and
that
is
because
the
opposite
side
of
the
river
is
already
called
the
french
broad,
green,
the
french
broad
river
greenway.
And
so,
if
anyone
were
to
get
hurt
on
either
side
of
the
river,
it
would
be
hard
for
first
responders
to
reach
them
as
quickly
as
possible
and
also
for
maintenance
issues.
O
It's
better
to
know
a
very
distinctive
name
on
each
side
of
the
river.
So
I'm
going
to
share.
O
Starts
down
here
on
the
corner
of
lyman
street
and
amboy
bridge,
and
this
yellow
line
is
the
brand
new
greenway
in
the
within
the
rad
tip
greenway,
the
rad
tip
project
and
then
farther
north.
This
red
line
is
a
one
mile
section
that
we
will
be
designing
this
year
and
it
reaches
the
city
limits
up
on
the
top,
which
is
the
corner
of
riverside
drive
and
broadway.
O
So
this
three
and
a
half
mile
section
is
the
wilma
dieckmann
greenway
that
we're
proposing
and
in
addition
to
in
the
city
limits,
the
town
of
woodfin
will
be
building
a
greenway
that
will
continue
along
the
french
broad
river
for
another,
I
think,
is
three
and
a
half
miles
to
the
intersection
of
the
elk
mountain
road,
which
is
across
the
street
from
the
msd
headquarters
and
woodfin
office
campus
down
there.
O
So
they
had
some
interest
in
doing
the
public
engagement
now,
but
right
now,
they're
very
busy,
with
their
fundraising
for
not
only
the
greenway
and
the
new
park,
but
their
water
wave
park,
and
so
they
didn't
want
to
complicate
things
by
throwing
a
name
change
in
the
middle
of
the
mix.
O
We're
trying
to
move
ahead
with
this
now
because
we
will
be
doing
about
a
month,
long
celebration
to
celebrate
the
rad
tip
projects,
including
the
greenway,
and
it
will
fall
within
earth
day,
which
is,
I
think,
may
april
21st
and
end
april
20,
I'm
may
21st,
which
is
right
around
wilma,
dykman's
birthday.
I
think
her
birthday
is,
may
20th
and
she'll
be
101
years
old.
She
would
be
if
she
were
still
living.
O
So
this
complies
with
the
city
of
asheville's
name
change
policy.
We
don't
like
to
name
things
for
people
who
are
still
alive.
We
also
like
to
name
it
for
name
things
after
culture,
people
that
have
contributed
cultural
significance
to
the
area
and
we
do
feel
like
wilma.
Dyckman
has
done
that.
O
So,
first
of
all,
I
would
like,
if
you
haven't
taken
the
survey,
please
do
so.
It's
very
very
short:
it's
really
a
yes
or
no
question,
and
if
you
respond
no,
then
it
asks
you
if
you
have
any
other
ideas
on
what
you
would
like
it
to
be
named
and
also
today
in
in
the
hopes
that
we
will
be
moving
forward,
because
we
would
like
to
take
this
to
council
on
march
24th
for
their
approval.
O
I
would
like
for
you
to
take
a
vote,
whether
if,
unless
we
hear
something
otherwise
through
the
survey
that
you
would
also
like
to
see
the
name
change
to
the
wilma
dikeman
greenway.
B
All
right
so
you're,
looking
for
lucy
you're,
looking
for
a
motion
for
us
to
make
that
recommendation
to
adopt
the
resolution.
Yes,
please.
I
I
I'm
just
kind
of
curious
of
what
other
input.
L
I
I
don't
know
like
just
I
think
it's
a
great
idea,
but
is
there
something
I'm
not
thinking
of?
Are
there
people
who
are
going
to
be
upset?
I
think
naming
is
a
very
important
thing
that
we're
all
doing
and
there's
a
lot
of
renaming
happening
right
now.
I
don't
know
of
any
skeletons
in
wilmington's
closet,
but
just
kind
of
curious,
since
that
place
is
part
of
isn't
my
neighborhood,
I'm
curious
what
the
neighborhood
folks
think.
O
E
B
Okay
motion
by
randy,
a
second
by
pat.
Let
me
get
my
list
here.
Okay,
any
other
discussion
comments.
I
B
John
hi
lydia.
L
B
L
B
O
B
Take
care.
The
next
item
is
our
update
on
the
citywide
default
speed
limit
to
25
miles
per
hour,
jessica.
L
L
They
don't
think
that
there's
any
legal
barrier
to
pursuing
this,
we
agreed
that
we
would
continue
to
talk
with
them
about
it.
They
shared
with
us
a
gis
database
of
their
state
routes
and
the
speed
limits
that
are
within
or
that
are
on
those
state
routes,
and-
and
I
would
be
happy
to
share
that
with
anyone,
who's
interested
and
I'm
working
to
figure
out
if
we
have
a
similar
gis
database.
L
B
B
All
right,
thank
you,
I
think,
to
michael's
point
from
the
last
meeting.
You
know
it
seems
like
we
have
to
go
through
three
different
steps
here
we
have
this.
You
know
the
city.
B
I
do
think
it's
important
that
we
have
kind
of
this.
You
know
coalescing
between
the
city
and
the
county,
so
then
we
can
have
a
very
clear
delineation
of
what
needs
to
be.
H
B
B
Okay,
the
next
section
that's
going
to
trans
going
to
the
committee
updates,
we'll
start
with
transit
and
john.
You
want
to
give
us
a
quick
update
on
the
last
meeting.
The
january
meeting.
H
Sure
so
I
was
not
able
to
attend
the
the
january
meeting,
but
I
spoke
with
eunice
and
she
told
me
to
bring
up
a
couple
of
items.
She
mentioned
that
the
transit
station
improvement
project
that
the
bids
are
out
for
the
digital
signage
and
have
been
advertised
and
they
hope
to
receive
responses
by
mid-march
and
the
swiftly
onboard
apps
implementation
project.
B
L
Well,
I
just
want
to
clarify
something:
I'm
not
sure
if
maybe
eunice
was
a
little
confused,
but
the
the
digital
signage
project
is
already
well
underway.
We've
we've
already
selected
and
and
contracted
with
a
company.
Perhaps
what
she
meant
was
that
we
will
be
installing
the
signage,
hopefully
within
the
next
couple
months.
Oh
I,
you
know
what
I
bet.
L
I
know
what
she
was
talking
about,
so
we
had
to
bid
out
the
electrical
portion
separately
so
that
the
the
necessary
electric
and
like
electric
hookups
and
things
of
that
nature,
were
available
for
the
signage.
So
that
was
bit
out
recently
and
as
soon
as
we
get
that
completed,
then
we'll
actually
put
the
signage
in
so
just
to
clarify.
B
Okay,
great
thank
you,
and
I
also
noticed
that
you
added
the
ridership
numbers
thanks
for
that
going
through
that
it's
nice
to
see
that
we're
nearing
pre-coveted
numbers
again
so
hopefully
we'll
get
back
up
start
ramping
up
with
our.
L
I
think
at
the
last
multimodal
commission
meeting
I
had
mentioned
that
we
were
nearly
out
or
already
out
of
our
cares
act
funding,
and
so
we
were
in
a
spot
that
was
kind
of
precarious
in
terms
of
how
do
we
keep
our
young
contract
going
and
what
what's
happened
between
then
and
now
is
good
news.
We
we
have
within
our
overall
budget
of
transit
enough
money
to
continue
to
fund
young
transportation's
contract,
at
least
through
the
end
of
this
fiscal
year.
L
So
there
was
a
significant
savings
or
there
has
been
a
significant
savings
in
our
paratransit
budget
that
is
going
to
essentially
offset
that
cost,
since
we
haven't
received
any
additional
stimulus
funding
at
this
point.
But
we're
still,
you
know,
keeping
an
eye
on
that
as
well,
but
we
will
go
to
council
on
march
9th
to
extend
young's
contract,
at
least
through
the
end
of
the
year
and
to
have
the
same
level
of
service
additional
service
from
them.
So
that's
very
good.
B
Yes,
that
is
great
news,
particularly
to
get
us
through
the
end
of
the
year,
because
I
feel
like
we
might
be
seeing
some
clearing
in
in
our
lives
by
then.
So
that's
excellent,
yeah
update.
J
C
L
No,
it
does
not,
and
I'll
have
to
take
a
look
at
that
to
see.
If
there's
any
pattern
that
I
can
ascertain
from
that.
H
D
D
My
question
is,
is
hey
or
I
guess
just
just
want
to
know
why
they're
not
transferable.
I
I'd
really
like
to
be
able
to
give
mine
away.
There's.
There
is
a
healthcare
worker
that
lives
on
my
street
and
she's,
often
standing
out
in
the
cold
every
day,
waiting
for
this
bus
to
arrive,
she's,
obviously
relying
on
the
bus,
I'm
not
I'd
like
to
be
able
to
give
that
away.
So
I
just
want
to
go
on
the
record
of
saying
that.
That's
something
that
I
would
like
to
do,
if
possible.
L
B
F
We
met
just
the
beginning
of
the
month
and
we
toured
the
boatcatcher
greenway.
We
walked
the
entirety
of
the
future
path,
which
was
really
insightful
just
to
see
where
it's
gonna
go
and
it
looks
like
it's
gonna,
be
really
beneficial
and
eventually
connect
up
to
like
possibly
a
future
park.
That's
overlooking
the
city,
and
so
that's
kind
of
the
main
thing
that
we
did,
and
we
also
discussed
that
we'll
probably
be
alternating
every
other
month
with
a
meeting
and
a
field
trip.
F
B
Great,
thank
you.
Yes,
it
was
a
lot
of
fun
transiting
through
we
had
a
sinkhole.
We
had
some
downed
trees,
but
it's
remarkable
how
much
there
is
available
to
us
to
with
these
greenways.
You
know
I
think
lucy
is
there.
The
work
that
they
do
is
just
amazing
to
find
these
paths
through
this
road
is
just
covered
up
and
overgrown,
and
it's
a
beautiful
path.
It's
going
to
be
a
great
greenway
once
it's
it's
all
put
into
place.
B
Okay,
next
bike
and
head
task
force.
Randy,
do
you
have
any
any
updates
for
us.
J
Yeah,
so
we
we
update
from
dan
featuring
on
the
corridor
studies,
and
so
it
was
just
fyi.
J
It
was
good
to
hear
what's
happening
with
those,
and
then
we
talked
about
a
couple
of
people
for
bikes
things,
which
is
the
national
bike
industry
group
that
does
bike
advocacy
one
is
they
have
a
rating
system
that
they've
implemented
for
cities
so
right
now
we're
a
bronze
level
city
on
league
of
american
vice
bicycle
friendly
city,
which
is
the
lowest
you
can
see,
but
you
get
to
do
something
to
achieve
that
and
we
have
a
dismal
rating
on
the
people
for
bikes,
bike,
friendly
city
ratings
and
so
we're
looking
at
how
we
can
maybe
attack
some
of
the
things
that
they
rate
to
move
us
up
on
that
scale.
J
And
then
we
again,
it's
been
great.
Last
whole
meetings,
ncdot
has
been
represented
and
they've
been
giving
us
information
about
the
ambroy
and
meadow
android
bridge
in
the
metal
road
situation.
Where
this
you
know,
it's
got
a
lot
more
attention
now,
since
the
green
boy,
since
the
rumble
likely
your
game
has
been
established
now,
there's
a
lot
more
tension
put
on
there
and
it's
just
good
to
see
the
ncbo
ndc
d.o.t
is
actually
responding.
J
The
public
attention
to
that
and
trying
to
figure
out
ways
to
get
through
those,
and
so
we
talked
a
little
about
that
last
month,
but
we
also
more
this
month
too,
and
then,
as
far
as
people
for
bikes
too,
they
are
funding
partially
an
effort
to
extend
the
college
avenue
bike
lanes.
All
the
way
up
to
cox,
street
and
asheville
on
bikes
is
also
contributing
money
to
that
project,
as
well
too.
J
B
Yeah,
I
completely
agree
with
you.
I
I
would
imagine
that
you
know
I've
been
out
on
that
path.
Quite
a
bit,
and
I
imagine
today
it's
gonna
be
just
slammed
with
people,
so
it's
great
and
I
think
that
pressure
is
gonna.
Keep
that
process
moving
in
the
right
direction.
C
Thing
that
we've
been
dealing
with
excuse
me
is,
is
what
council
just
passed
last
night,
which
is
the
new
hotel
ordinance
just
barely
in
time
before
the
moratorium
ran
out
and
if,
if
anybody
has
not
looked
at
it,
I
would
very
very
much
encourage
you
to
take
a
look
at
it.
There's
been
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
work
has
gone
into
it.
It's
a
much
smoother
and
much
better
process,
hopefully
going
forward.
C
It
doesn't
mean
no
hotels.
We
can't
do
that,
but
there's
a
lot
of
good
in
it.
So
I
would
just
encourage
everybody
to
take
a
look
at
it.
B
There
was
a
note
that
joe
was
apparently
quoted
in
the
paper:
okay
and
then
I-26.
The
aesthetic
committee
jessica.
L
Well,
I
it's
ken
and
I
I
haven't
gotten
anything
from
him
recently
on
that,
so
I
apologize.
I
don't
really
know
if
there's
any
new
or
exciting
information,
so
I
need
to
I
need
to
touch
base
with
ken
and
make
sure
that
we
get
monthly
updates
if
they're
already.
L
One
thing
I
just
wanted
to
say,
and
perhaps
I
said
it
last
time,
but
I
I
can't
remember,
but
we've
got
a
we've-
got
a
lot
of
our
projects
that
have
been
on
hold
because
of
dot
funding
issues.
A
lot
of
them
have
been
have
been,
let
go
if
you
will
so
they're
they're
moving
forward
again.
L
We've
we've
been
given
authorization
to
proceed
on
a
lot
of
the
projects
that
have
been
have
been
held
up
over
like
road
sidewalks
yeah
the
greenway.
I
can't
remember
anything
else
at
this
point,
but
they
are
slowly
surely
giving
us
authorization
to
move
forward
with,
with
more
and
more
of
our
projects
that
have
been
on
hold.
So
that's
really
good
news.
B
Okay,
please
note
our
future
agenda
items
and,
of
course,
if
you
oh
michael,
do
you
have
a
question
or
comment.
D
Yeah
and
this
kind
of
probably
goes
into
the
future
agenda
items,
but
I
was
wondering
if
we
were
going
to
be
able
to
have
to
something
put
on
future
agenda
regarding
just
our
budget,
our
city
budget.
I
don't
know
about
you
guys,
but
my
taxes
just
went
up
substantially,
so
I
would
imagine
that
we're
going
to
have
some
more
money
to
play
with.
So,
if
that's
the
case,
I'd
like
to
know
how
how
we're
going
to
look
at
that.
L
L
But
yeah,
but
it's
likely
or
I
I
would
I
would.
I
believe
that
there's
going
to
be
a
consideration
for
whether
or
not
the
tax
rate
should
be
lowered
to
offset
that
increase.
So
a
lot
of
times
when
property
valves
go
up,
the
city
and
the
county
will
take
a
look
at
whether
or
not
they
want
to
roll
back
the
tax
rate
to
offset
some
of
that
increase.
D
I
think
my
point
is
it
does
make
sense,
but
I
think
there's
there's
something
to
be
said
about
if
they
do
decide
to
bring
our
rates
down,
to
adjust
for
our
property
values
all
going
up
whatever.
What
is
it
that
we
we
would
be
losing
out
on
what
what
what
projects
don't
happen
or
what
projects
could
happen
if
left
left
alone?
So
you
know,
everybody
always
wants
lower
taxes,
but
we
never
talk
about
what
it
is
we
could
have
if
we
kept
our
our
rate
the
same
like.
I
Listen
maggie
I'll.
Definitely,
second,
michael
on
the
sense
of
I
would
love
to
know
more
about
the
budget
process
timeline
and
what
we
can
see
and
and
where
just
so,
I
know
you
know
jessica.
You
and
I
have
talked
as
a
staff
person
like
we
can
help
advocate
for
things
that
you
see
a
need
for,
but
also
just
to
really
be
informed,
as
I
think
it's
important
for
us
to
understand
that.
I
So
I
would
love
to
know
more
about
the
timeline
and,
if
there's
opportunity
for
us
to
see
stuff
before
things
connected
to
multimodal
go
further
through
the
chain
of
other
committees
or
to
council
committees.
Or
what
have
you.
L
D
And
just
to
be
clear,
okay
and
just
to
be
clear
of
a
real
estate
agent,
just
for
all
disclosure.
I
was
looking
at
my
my
values
as
well
as
everybody
else
in
the
neighborhood.
D
I
I
pulled
like
the
first
four
or
five
that
were
around
me
and
everybody's
home
values
had
went
up
about
18,
or
at
least
their.
You
know
what
the
projected
tax
would
be.
So
it's
it's
a
it's
a
sizable
chunk
of
money,
and
I
just
like
to
envision.
Okay,
if,
if
we
left
it,
as
is
what
could
we
fund?
That's
not
being
you
know,
considered
down,
I'm
not
I'm
not
advocating
for
new
taxes,
but
maybe
it's
not
a
good
time
to
lower
taxes.
B
Yeah,
I
think
it
made
a
good
point.
It
sounds
like
jessica
has
an
info,
and
you
know
we
can
at
least
have
a
have
an
idea
of
what
the
plan
is
from
the
city's
standpoint.
Anna
did
you
have
a
question.
G
Just
a
quick
comment:
we
actually
did
have
an
advisory
committee
meeting
on
monday.
It's
only
the
second
one
that
we've
had
since
pre-covered
and
I
think
we're
still
sort
of
getting
back
into
the
swing
of
things.
Adding
new
members,
but
monday's
meeting
was
mostly
just
a
lot
of
general
housekeeping
tasks
and
getting
caught
up.
But
one
of
the
big
takeaways
is
knack
is
one
of
the
committees
that
was
tapped
to
provide
liaisons
to
the
open
space
task
open
space
amendment
task
force.
G
So
those
talks
are
starting
again
regarding
how
to
amend
the
city's
open
space
standards,
and
I
am
on
that
as
well
as
sharon
sumrall.
So
kind
of
we
had
our
first
task
force
meeting
today
and
I
guess
stay
tuned
I'll,
be
able
to
fill
you
all
in
at
subsequent
meetings.
But
I
do
think
that
multimodal
will
play
some
sort
of
role
to
what
degree
still
to
be
determined.
But
that's
all
I'm
back.
B
Okay,
great,
thank
you.
Future
agenda
items
hang
on
joe
one.
Second
randy
did
you
have
an
item
you
wanted
to
add
to
this
list.
E
J
No,
I
was
just
asking
I
didn't
see
so
so
jessica
said
that
some
of
the
ncdot
funding
was
being
released,
and
I
know
that
the
overlook
hendersonville
road
intersection
project
was
being
held
up
because
of
the
funding,
and
I
just
don't
see
it
on
the
update
items.
So
man,
I'm
not
missing
or
it
is
on
that
list,
because
we
had
suggested
improvements
for
the
intersection
and
ncdot
was
very
amenable
to
those
improvements
that
I
want
to
make
sure
that
it
doesn't
start
up
again
without
missing
the
opportunity
to
continue
to
press
them
on
those.
B
Okay
jessica:
can
we
get
that
added
or
just
understand
how
that'll
fit
into
what?
What
might
start
moving
again.
B
Okay
yeah.
Thank
you,
joe.
C
I
just
had
something
I
was
wanting
to
add
to
the
future
agenda
items
if
there
is
any
new,
updated
information
on
the
bikeshare
program.
I
know
it's
listed
on
the
you
know
list
of
projects
and
it
was
one
that
what
2019
was
a
big
hot
button.
You
know
item
and
now
it's
kind
of
getting
or
has
been
shoved
to
the
side.
So
I
was
just
curious
if
they
were,
you
know
future
agenda
to
kind
of
look
back
at
that
again.
B
I
think
that's
so
you
know
I've
been
a
part
of
a
few
conversations
over
the
last
month
about
the
eviction
of
the
resident
under
by
north
carolina
d.o.t
under
the
240
bridge
at
broadway
street,
and
this
probably
falls
outside
the
purview
of
our
group,
but
I
just
did
want
to
say
that
you
know
I've
been
in
contact
with
kim
and
she's
reached
out
to
local
and
state
officials
with
a
series
of
very
pointed
questions,
and
I
think
that
her
questions
and
those
answers
are
going
to
lead
to
a
greater
level
of
clarity,
understanding
and
probably
some
procedures
going
forward.
B
So
you
know
I
know
kim
had
to
hop
off
but
she's
on
top
of
that
and
and
doing
a
really
good
job
kind
of
following
up
with
that
with
that
issue.
B
Okay,
any
late
arriving
public
comment.
B
All
right.
Please
note
our
next
meeting
tentatively
scheduled
for
march
24th
and
without
any
other
comments
or
questions,
we'll
move
to
adjourn.
I
I
had
one
sorry
slow
to
the
go,
so
I
live
off
of
charlotte
street.
I
loved
having
the
update
today
so
make
sure
we
send
that
back
to
the
folks
who
presented-
and
I
also
live
off
of
merriman.
So
I'm
like
on
hillside
right
between
the
two
and
every
time
I
go
down
charlotte
and
then
I
make
my
way
and
I
never
wake
my
make
my
way
on
a
bicycle
on
merriman,
I'm
like.
I
That
we
could
apply
things
that
we've
learned
on
charlotte
street,
on
merriman
and
so
again
new
to
the
committee
and
recently
back
to
town.
B
Yeah
there
was,
I
mean
six
months
ago,
there
was
a
project
that
came
through
and
there
was
some.
There
were
a
lot
of
very
strong
opinions
about
that,
and
I
think
the
city
provided
their
opinion,
and
so
I
think
that
might
be
back
on
the
drawing
board.
Jesse
could
give
me
more.
Like
a
you
know,
quick
30,
second,
on
that,
where
we're
at
on
that.
B
L
So
I'm
hoping
I'm
hoping
to
potentially
have
a
conversation
about
merriman
next
month.
So
you
know
we
are
having
conversations
with
with
ncdot
about
merriman
because
they
have
an
upcoming
resurfacing
project
and
we,
you
know,
we
as
a
city,
I
think,
have
have
a
lot
of
goals
and
objectives
that
we
would
like
to
see
implemented
on
that
corridor
and
used
that
resurfacing
as
an
opportunity.
To
accomplish
that.
L
L
You
know
they
continue
to
work
with
us
on
it,
but
they
do
have
some
concerns
and-
and
I
think
they
feel
that
it's
a
different
corridor
than
it
is
in
some
ways
than
charlotte
street.
But
we're
going
to
continue
to
have
conversations
about
whether
or
not
we
can
find
some
way
to
seize
upon
that
opportunity
to
improve
improve
the
corridor
from
a
safety
perspective.
So
I'm
hoping
to
have
more
information
for
you
guys
next
month.
C
I'll
just
make
a
quick
comment.
I
have
kind
of
pushed
the
planing
department
to
get
on
a
list
of
projects
to
do
a
corridor
study
of
merriman
avenue
that
wouldn't
necessarily
be
directly
from
traffic
standpoint,
but
a
bigger
like
the
studies
on
tunnel
road,
like
the
study
for
hendersonville
so
kind
of
looking
at
the
entire
thing
from
the
built
environment
standpoint.
So
hopefully.
