D
B
Moving
on
to
public
comment,
we
don't
have
any
live
public
competitors
at
this
point,
but
we
did
receive
several
comments
via
the
email
path
and
I'm
going
to
kind
of
go
through
and
summarize
those
you
should
all
have
those
in
your
email
boxes
now
we've
received,
I
think,
six
or
seven
in
total
kind
of
addressing
a
couple
of
issues.
The
first
person
gaia
talked
about
the
challenges
that
she
is
facing.
B
She
actually
had
a
horrendous
incident
accident
at
the
corner
of
merriman
and
chestnut,
and
she
kind
of
details
her
experience
with
that
and
how
it's
just
really
a
challenge.
You
know
it's,
it's
frustrating,
I
think
some
of
the
you
know
some
of
the
things
that
we
talk
about.
I
think
that's
what
we're
looking
at
at
that
corridor
as
well,
and
so
I
what
she
talks
about
is
that
you
know
just
the
the
danger
of
pedestrians,
a
lot
of
things
that
we
talk
about
a
lot
of
the
time.
B
So
if
you
can
kind
of
read
through
those
comments,
understand
that,
but
also
what
I'd
like
to
do
is
maybe
in
the
response
to
this
comment.
I
know
at
some
point
we
had
talked
about
having
the
the
rework
of
merriman
avenue
on
our
agenda.
Is
that
something
that's
heading
our
way
soon.
B
B
B
Keeping
an
eye
on
it,
so
we
just
make
sure
we
it
comes
through
us
as
well.
So
we
can,
you
know,
stay
up
to
date
and
try
to
provide
as
much
input
as
possible
to
make
that
as
as
best
as
possible
to
avoid
situations
just
like
this.
Then
we
had
a
couple
more
comments.
There
were
three
folks:
let's
see
three
shiloh
residents,
jillian
wolfe
chris
kirby
and
carter
cork
all
talked
about.
B
B
Talk
about
a
lot
and
it's
you
know
it's.
I
think
it's
it's
clear
that
this
is
not
just
one
neighborhood
or
the
other
neighborhood,
it's
really
the
entire
city.
Where
we're
having
this
problem
and
I
was
concerned,
I
was
wondering
if
there's
a
way
that
we
can
revisit.
B
I
know
that
there's
a
sidewalk
gap
analysis
that
we
work
on
a
sidewalk
plan
and
since
I've
been
on
this
group
that
hasn't
come
through
us,
there
is
there
a
way
we
can
kind
of
go
through
and
revisit
that
that
plan
at
some
point
in
the
future.
So
we
can
understand
what
those
priorities
are,
how
that
scoring
measures
work.
So
these
people
can
also
you
know,
provide
some
other
comment
and
input
just
to
make
sure
that
we're
getting
all
of
these
projects
considered.
L
B
Okay,
you
know,
I
know
that,
there's
some
money
that's
coming
in
and
it
seems
like
you
know,
in
the
comments
we
had.
You
know
this,
these
handful
of
half
a
dozen
comments
that
we
came
in
and
they're
really
talking
about
a
lot
of
the
same
things.
Just
you
know,
safety
of
pedestrian
software
whenever
we
can
redirect
some
of
that,
some
of
that
those
funds
to
these
plans
that
we
already
have
in
place.
You
know
with
the
with
the
sidewalk
plan,
that'd
be
great.
B
B
You
know,
I
think
it
feels
like
sometimes
we're
chasing
our
tail
a
little
bit
here
where
you
know,
there's
new
development,
more
people
come
in
density
of
residence
increases,
but
we
don't
provide
for
those
services
non
non-vehicle
services.
So
we
can
move
these
folks
safely
around
our
neighborhoods
as
we
build
the
density
in
these
neighborhoods.
Do
we
currently
have
a
plan
right
now
when
a
when
a
new
house
or
a
new
you
know,
apartment,
complex
or
a
commercial
building
goes
in?
B
Do
we
have
a
plan
that's
built
into
that
process,
so
right
from
the
get-go
there's
some
consideration
being
put
in
for
for
non-vehicular
traffic.
M
Dennis
this
is
ken
putnam,
the
director
of
the
transportation
department,
and
I
can
I
can
answer
that
one
for
you,
oh
great,
thank
you.
According
to
the
udo,
any
any
single
family
residential
community
that
has
more
than
20
houses,
sidewalks
are
required
and
what
we've
seen
what
we've
seen
quite
a
few
one
the
last
year
or
so
quite
a
few
subdivisions
have
come
forward
with
19
or
less
homes.
B
Okay-
and
so
it's
it's
only
when
there
are
it's
a
group
of
20
homes,
so
if
a
single
home
is
put
in,
we
don't
there
isn't
a
that
allowance
for
a
sidewalk
or
a
requirement.
B
E
Yeah,
so
there
are
a
lot
of
pocket
neighborhoods
that
are
going
into
asheville.
I
live
in
oakley
and
there's
they're
sporadic
they're
all
over
the
neighborhood.
Typically
they're.
You
know
three
or
four
at
a
time,
so
stoner
roads
are
a
really
great
example.
Where
there's,
I
think
three
brand
new
single-family
residents
that
are
put
in
small
lots.
I
think
they're,
like
four
000
square
feet,
the
minimum
for
for
rsa.
E
My
question
is:
has
this
policy
always
been
20
houses,
or
was
this
finagled
with
during
the
last
recession?
Was
my
understanding
that
that
20
number
might
have
been
smaller?
Is
that
accurate
or.
M
Michael,
this
is
ken
putnam
again,
as
far
as
I
know,
I've
been
here
going
on
15
years
and
I
that
requirement
has
always
been
more
than
20..
What
you're
talking
about,
though,
is,
is
a
very
good
point.
That's
that's
what
I
term
the
infield
development
that
we're
seeing
all
over
asheville
and
we're
seeing
you
know,
lots
that
are
being
subdivided
and
then
homes
you
know
squeezed
in.
So
that's
one
of
the.
M
M
These
housing
units
will
require
a
second
driveway
along
the
same
property
frontage,
whereas
you
know
right
now,
a
single-family
home
can
only
have
one
driveway
along
the
street
frontage,
but
then,
if
they
were
to
add
like
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
or
something
like
that
many
times,
they
want
to
have
a
second
driveway,
so
we're
beginning
to
see
more
driveways
pop
up
as
well
with
this
infill
development
thing
that
we're
going
through
right
now,.
E
So,
just
a
general
follow-up
to
that
question.
20
again
just
seems
really
excessive
before
we
start
to
see
sidewalks
put
into
neighborhoods,
especially
considering
that
most
of
the
development
right
now
is
not
giant
subdivisions.
You
know
it's
these
little
ones.
So
what's
the
process
for
getting
this,
this
number
changed
down
to.
Let's
say
you
know
two
or
three.
M
M
No,
it's
looked
at
in
different
sections.
Okay,
I
know
that
I
think
within
this
year
that
we've
had
there's
been
at
least
one.
Maybe
two
city
council
meetings
where
some
changes
to
the
udo
have
come
forward.
E
Well,
that's
great
news,
because
that
means
that
we
can.
We
can
start
a
dialogue
on
that
I
I
would.
I
would
love
to
see
a
you
know,
some
more
information
on
that,
so
we're
weak
as
a
as
a
council
or
not
a
council,
but
as
a
commission
could
could
make
a
recommendation
to
lower
that
number.
E
Is
it
possible,
dennis
or
jessica
that
that
could
be
an
agenda
item
that
we
could
have
a
little
bit
more
of
a
discussion
about
how
that
number
was
reached
and
what
what
it
would
take
to
to
get
that
changed?
Because
I
mean
I
run
a
lot.
I
run
20
miles,
sometimes
as
an
active
runner,
and
I
see
this
all
over
town
and
it
blows
me
away
that
you
can
just
see
these
really
primo
destinations,
tops
of
mountains
and
all
other
places
and
they're
they're.
Just
you
know
obviously
there's
a
profit
margin
there.
E
B
Yeah,
I
agree,
michael,
you
know,
I
feel,
like
every
person
that
I
talk
to
every
resident
wants
access
to
a
sidewalk,
and
so
I
think
it
makes
sense
that
we
maybe
prioritize
residents
and
the
people
who
will
be
living
in
those
neighborhoods
for
six
months,
one
year,
two
years,
10
years,
20
years,
50
years
over
that
short
term
build.
You
know,
issue
that
we
might
have
to
overcome.
So
you
know
I
would
love
to
see
if
we
can
get
this
added
and
figure
out,
you
know
define
a
path.
If
it's
you.
B
Comfortable
even
discussing
down
to
one
house,
you
know
if
you
start
building
these
little
sections
as
we
go,
you
know
eventually,
then
our
our
overall
sidewalk
plan
can
come
back
and
say
you
know
if
there
are
50.
If
there's
50,
of
the
sidewalk
being
built
already
by
development,
we
only
have
to
go
back
and
infill
another
50
through
city
money
and
tax
money,
and
so
that
there's
a
way
that
we
can
kind
of
you
know
skin
this
cap
both
ways
just
to
move
move
it
forward
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
I
I
20
sounds
like
that
makes
sense
from
a
very
different
development
era
of
our
community
and
so
revisiting
that
conversation
feels
good
and
what
might
come
off
like
a
wet
blanket
but
a
counter
voice
of
like
I
hear
a
lot
of
optimism
and
this
would
be
a
very
difficult
conversation
and
we
shouldn't
veer
away
from
things
that
are
difficult,
but
a
counter
argument
would
be
that
this
public
service,
which
government
is
here
to
do,
would
go
on
to
the
back
of
new
home
buyers.
I
People
won't
really
like
hearing
that
now
I
say
that
so
that
we
can
be
very
thoughtful
in
pursuing
a
conversation,
because
I
think
20
doesn't
feel
right,
but
I
wanted
to
put
that
counterbalance
out
there,
so
we're
all
at
the
same
place
going.
Oh
yeah,
that's
a
counter
argument.
So
what
what
do
we
need
to
think
about?
To
start
chugging
towards
this,
so
we
have
kind
of
the
vision
and
the
dream
which
I
hear
from
you
all
and
I
share
and
a
reality
of
teammates
we'd
have
to
work
with.
B
H
So
the
thing
I
was
going
to
ask
is
some
of
these
roads
in
town
are
really
narrow
and
how
are
those
taken
into
account,
because
is
there
enough
room
to
even
put
sidewalks
in
some
of
these
neighborhoods
if
it's
required?
What
does
that
mean
for?
Is
it
safe
to
put
a
sidewalk?
H
You
know
one
of
the
reasons
I
got
involved
in
this
on
this
commission,
the
one
I
noticed
when
I
first
moved
to
town
that
there
were
people
waiting
for
buses
where
there
weren't
sidewalks,
and
I
was
blown
away
to
see
that
people
were
waiting
for
a
bus
where
there
was
no
shelter
and
no
sidewalk,
and
I
just
couldn't
believe
it.
H
B
Yeah,
I
agree
with
john.
I
like
the
idea
of.
Maybe
you
know
argument
can
be
made
where
we
have
a
requirement
and
then
we
make
exceptions
to
that
requirement
and
it
might
be
for
whatever
reason
we
can't
do
it,
but
I
I
feel
like
what,
if
we
thought
about
erroring
on
the
side
of
let's
put
a
sidewalk
in
and
then
figure
out
how
we
can
do
that
versus.
You
know
talking
ourselves
out
of
it
before
we
require
it.
L
So
so
how
about
this?
Well,
I
will
talk
to
planning
and
urban
design
staff
and
or
dsd
development
services
department
staff
to
see
who
might
be
able
to
come
to
a
future
meeting
to
give
us
an
overview
of
the
existing
unive
unified
development
ordinance
as
it
relates
to
sidewalks,
because
there
are
a
lot
of
different
pieces
of
it,
including
different
requirements
for
multi-family
for
commercial
different
requirements
for
the
type
of
sidewalk,
depending
on
the
zoning,
and
so
I
think
it's
good
to
have
a
full
perspective
of
all
the
various
requirements.
L
And-
and
you
know,
this
is
something
that
we
struggle
with
as
well,
especially
when
we're
we
have
such
a
an
issue
with
affordability
that
that
requiring
sidewalks
for
single
family
homes
is
is
pro
can
become
problematic.
L
But
at
the
same
time,
if
you,
if
you
don't,
then
you
have
these
these
pockets
where
you're
missing
facilities,
and
so
it
very
quickly
becomes
a
complicated
situation.
There's
also
different
requirements
that
that
I
think
we
need
to
readdress
related
to
if
a
commercial
development
is
due
like
renovating
an
existing
structure,
but
they
only
spend
a
certain
amount
of
money
on
the
renovation.
L
So
you
see
a
lot
of
issues
where
you
get
like
a
you
know:
a
new
restaurant
comes
in
where
another
restaurant
used
to
be
but,
and
they
might
renovate
that
space,
but
they're
not
required
to
bring
anything
up
to
compliance.
L
So
there's
all
these
little
pieces
that
we
we
are
looking
at
and
have
wanted
to
work
on
as
part
of
the
udo
and
have
been
kind
of
in
a
holding
pattern,
trying
to
figure
out
what
the
udo
update
when
that
might
happen
and
how
that
might
happen,
and
it
sounds
like
likely,
it
will
be
done
sort
of
in
a
piecemeal
fashion,
and
this
is
one
of
the
areas
that's
in.
I
think
great
need
of
of
review
and
update.
B
K
Is
it
dennis?
I
was
just
this
is
joe.
I
was
just
gonna
do
like
this
super
super,
quick,
as
I
can
since
maggie
said,
something
one.
Yes,
you
have
opened
pandora's
box.
When
you
talk
about
the
udo
and
sidewalks
and
as
jessica
just
gave
the
brief
rundown,
I
mean
there
are
sidewalk
regulations
for
every
single,
different
type
of
development.
Essentially
two:
when
you
start
talking
about
sidewalks
and
single
family
single
family
residential,
you
will
be
essentially
battling
the
biggest
black
bear
you've
ever
faced.
I
mean
that
will
just
be.
K
K
Center
parking
lot
lately
you
will
know
that
building
prices
are
just
skyrocketing,
so
I
I
am
completely
on
board
with
changes.
I
have
certainly
been
advocating
for
them
at
the
commercial
level,
classic
example,
from
from
what
jessica
was
just
talking
about
with
commercial?
Is
the
old
dairy
queen
on
tunnel
road
kind
of
across
from
the
angles
got
transformed
about
two
years
ago
into
an
enterprise
car
rental?
K
They
didn't
meet
the
requirement
of
50
cost
to
upgrade,
so
they
didn't
have
to
put
in
a
sidewalk
so
again
missing
chunk
of
sidewalk,
so
yeah
as
far
as
you
know,
each
individual
person
here
could,
you
know,
advocate
to
city
council
to
get
the
udo
changed,
because
it
is
something
that
has
been
on
planning's
radar
for
a
while.
I
keep
pushing
for
it
trying
to
wholesale
change
and
and
rework
the
udo
is
just
onerous.
I
think
it's
gonna
have
to
be
piecemeal,
but
there's
probably
25
things
that
are
priority
one.
K
So
it's
it's,
and-
and
it's
also
one
of
those
you
can't
just
change
like
three
lines
of
text-
you're
changing
three
here
and
four
there
and
six
there
and
multiple
multiple
pages
and
how
it
ties
in
so
it's
it
really
almost
needs
to
be.
A
wholesale
reworking
of
the
entire
document,
which
again
is,
is
huge,
so.
B
Okay,
yeah,
absolutely
no!
It's
a!
I
think
it
is
going
to
be
a
challenge,
but
it's
something
where
I
feel
like
it's
almost
the
next,
the
next
step
for
us,
because
it's
we're
not
seeing
20
home
developments
around
as
much
anymore.
So
what
can
we
do
to
better?
You
know-
and
maybe
it's
just
a
grading-
there's
not
an
installation,
so
it's
just
degrading.
So
when
we
do
go
through
the
city
can
more
quickly
and
more
efficiently.
You
know
lay
that
sidewalk
in
there.
You
know
something
like
that.
I
Yeah
yeah
the
thought
that
came
to
mind
just
of
listening
to
this
conversation
is
first,
I
was
just
being
like
really
inspired
and
excited
about
like
what
we
can
do
together
and
wanting
to
like
sign
something
awesome
and
wondering.
I
know
that
there's
been
that
we've
talked
about
having
a
retreat
at
some
point,
and
part
of
me
wonders
if
there's
if
the
udo
is
is
the
conversation
for
us
and
sidewalks
at
single
family,
home
or
at
three
single
family
homes
is,
is
one
element
like
to
me?
I
I
see
this
that
the
specific
idea
we're
talking
about
has
so
much
technical
stuff
behind
it.
They're,
like
I,
don't
even
know
what
the
technical
stuff
is
that
I
can't
even
have
an
opinion
today,
but
I
would
love
us
to
like
get
prepared
to
have
a
conversation
of
what
would
our
top
udo
revision
priorities
be,
and
this
could
be
one
of
them,
but
I
don't
know
I
haven't
done
that.
I
I
haven't
seen
that
staff
report
yet
or
I
haven't
seen
that
policy
work
yet
that
I
wonder
if,
instead
of
just
adding
this
as
one
agenda
at
a
time,
we
could
look
a
little
bigger
picture
and
take
a
little
more
time
doing
some
homework
to
see.
There
might
be
other
things
just
as
this
cool
idea
came
up
in
conversation
today,
but
if
we
ask
staff
to
help
us
with
that
homework,
we
might
be
able
to
really
hit
on
something
bigger
within
the
udo,
or
at
least
we
could
compare
priorities.
B
Yeah,
that's
a
great
idea.
I
know
there's
discussion
about
our
retreat
that
you
know,
hopefully
that
happens
soon.
Hopefully
we'll
be
able
to
even
do
things
in
person
potentially
who.
B
I
love
that
idea,
so
maybe
we
can,
you
know,
work
with
jessica
to
see
if
we
can
get
that
and
understand,
maybe
the
pieces
that
are
around
that
as
well,
so
we
can
have
kind
of
a
cohesive,
larger,
focused
effort
on
you
know:
half
a
dozen
items
that
really
will
help
us
migrate
into
our
kind
of
the
next
set
of
terms
or
next
set
of
focus
that
we
should
have
at
joe.
K
Real
quick
just
to
comment
about
what
you
just
mentioned,
maggie.
Yes,
there
are
probably
several
areas
of
the
udo
that
that
what
multimodal
deal
multimodal
deals
with
in
scope
would
be
good
to
look
at,
I
would
say:
sidewalks
is
certainly
like
one
of
the
big
ones
for
sure
I
did
want
to
make
a
comment
about
some
of
the
public
comments,
and
I
know
jessica
mentioned
that
lucy's
gonna
talk
about
sidewalks.
This
is
specific
to
the
people
that
commented
about
shiloh.
K
I
looked
up
in
the
list
of
projects
and
and
a
sidewalk
along
west
chapel
to
shiloh
is
in
the
planning
stages.
So
just
as
a
fyi,
if
any
of
those
people
are
listening,
I
don't
know
if
that's
correct,
but
that's
what
the
that's.
What
was
in
the
meeting
packet
and
then
to
the
person
who
had
the
incident
on
merriman
and
chestnut
I
have
not
of
late,
walked
through
that
intersection
much,
but
it
is
a
intersection
that
I
frequently
go
through
and
it
is
a
very
bad
one.
K
I
will
say
that
it
is
one
of
those
that
is
on
the
list
of
when
we
do
the
bike.
Pedestrian
counts.
That
one
is
on
there.
I
did
that
the
last
time
we
did
bike,
ped
counts
and
certainly
bike
ped
counts
were
up
in
that
area.
So
hopefully
that
will
generate
some
more
interest
in
that
so
again,
apologize
that
that
person
had
a
extremely
bad
experience
there,
but
know
that
we
are
trying
to
to
do
what
we
can,
even
though
it
does
seem
very
slow
and
plotting
at
times.
B
E
I
just
had
a
question
about
how
these
comments
are
coming
and
they're
presented
to
us
in
text
format.
Did
they
come
in
all
via
email
or
did
any
of
these
come
in
as
a
audio
format?.
E
I
just
I
would
like
to
go
on
the
record
as
just
requesting
that
anything
comes
in
as
an
audio
that
be
played
as
an
audio.
I
know
that
for
the
interest
of
time
that
we
try
to
rush
through
this,
but
some
of
these,
when
you
read
through
them
and
read
the
details
of
the
experience
of
these
people
being
struck
by
cars
in
our
in
our
city.
It's
it's
grotesque.
I
mean
there's,
there's
a
lot
to
it
and
dennis
it's
nothing
against
you,
your
your
synopsis
of
it
at
all.
E
I
think
you
hit
the
points,
but
I
think
we're
we're
missing
some
emotion
and
it's
particularly
now
that
we're
not
actually
meeting
in
person
it's.
I
think
it's
important
that
we
get
some
of
that
emotion
to
the
table
and
we
could
do
that
through
the
form
of
a
video
or
audio.
B
Yeah,
thank
you
michael
yeah.
I
think
that's,
you
know.
We
certainly
want
to
make
sure
we,
the
passion
of
our
commenters,
is
conveyed,
and
you
know
I
certainly
look
forward
to
a
time
when
we
can
again
be
face
to
face
and
we
can
really
hear
from
them
from
them
exactly.
You
know
that
you've
read
the
comments
and
it's
it's
horrible.
What
what
happened
to
to
gaia
and
it's
something
that
I
think
that
you
know
we
can
work
towards
resolving
as
soon
as
possible.
Oh
john
sorry.
H
So,
while
we're
on
the
topic
of
public
comment,
I
don't
know
if
anybody
else
received
an
email,
but
I
received
an
email
from
mike
sewell
from
asheville
on
bikes
and
he
is
concerned
that
that
the
merriman
project-
that's
not
getting
enough
discussion
and
he's
interested
in
us
engaging
the
community
in
the
dialogue
to
discuss
the
possibility
of
a
road
diet
similar
to
what
they
did
on
charlotte
street,
and
he
also
encouraged
me
to
read
the
comments
about
merriman
on
asphalt,
bikes
website.
H
So
I
thought
I
should
definitely
put
that
out
there,
because
we
did
kind
of
run
past
the
merriman.
I
think
we
discussed
it
briefly.
I
can't
remember
if
it
was
january
or
february,
but
I
guess
it
was
supposed
to
be
on
the
agenda
in
february
and
then
it
was
taken
off
so.
B
L
Well,
I
was
going
to
give
an
update
on
merriman
during
our
staff
update,
but
I
guess
I
can
go
ahead
and
do
that
now.
So
we
took
it
off
the
agenda
at
our
previously,
because
the
administration
wanted
to
have
some
additional
conversations
with
ncdot
about
the
project
and
the
in
particular
the
timing
of
what
they're
going
to
be
doing,
which
is
which
is,
is
mostly
a
resurfacing
project.
Resurfacing.
Projects
include
improvements
to
ada,
curb
ramps,
and
things
like
that.
L
But
it's
it's
not
a
reconstruction
of
the
street
and
ncdot
has
has
told
us
that
they're
unable
to
implement
a
road
diet
on
merriman
as
part
of
a
resurfacing
project
and
there's
several
reasons
that
they
feel
that
way,
the
the
primary
one.
I
think
being
that
that
the
timing
which
they're
expecting
to
be
doing
the
resurfacing,
sometimes
I
think,
either
later
this
year
or
early
2022.
L
The
the
city
feels
like
it's,
not
it's.
It's
just
too
much
of
a
heavy
lift.
Despite
how
much
the
city
wants
to
see
this
happen,
we
feel
that,
right
now,
the
the
best
approach
is
to
just
to
continue
to
work
with
them.
They
are
doing
an
analysis
right
now
of
the
interchange
at
240,
because
one
of
one
of
their
ideas
is
that,
in
order
for
a
road
diet
to
work,
they
feel
that
some
of
the
vehicular
traffic
would
need
to
be
diverted
to
broadway
just
to
make
the
the
function.
L
Okay
and
so
they're
doing
an
analysis
of
that
right
now
and
I'm
not
sure
exactly
when
that
will
be
completed,
but
taking
it
taking
it
step
by
step
with
them.
Is
the
city's
recommended
approach
right
now
and
not
trying
to
force
that
force
them
into
taking
something
on
that
very
likely
would
be
a
very
big
public
engagement
effort
in
a
time
frame.
That's
not
conducive
to
having
that
go
very
well.
You
know
we're
also
just
really
trying
to,
and
I
know
this
will
sound
kind
of
kind
of
like
a
cop
out.
L
L
However,
we
recognize
that
it's
not
our
road,
it's
a
u.s
highway.
It
is
kind
of
right
on
the
limit
of
what
would
would
normally
be
acceptable
for
a
road
diet
in
terms
of
traffic
volumes
and-
and
we
haven't
done
any
public
engagement.
If
you
think
about
all
the
public
engagement
that
we
did
for
charlotte
street,
this
would
have
to
be
much
more
much
more
substantial.
L
I
forget
where
I
was
going
with
this,
but
if
we
had,
if
we
had
it
under
our
control,
that
would
be
our
preference,
but
we
also
recognize
that
we
have
to
work
with
dot.
They've
been
doing
a
lot
of
positive
things
for
us
lately,
which
I
can
go
more
into
in
staff
updates,
but
on
the
balance
we
just
don't
feel
comfortable
trying
to
to
push
it
with
them.
Right
now
on
this
particular
project,.
M
D
Yes-
and
so
I
think
we
talked
about
this
on
the
bike
in
the
bike,
ped
task
force
and
the
so
hannah
cook
gave
a
presentation
or
update
on
merriman
at
the
bike
fed
task
force,
and
it
was
her
impression
that
she
was
meeting
with
the
city
and
so
well
just
backtrack
for
a
second.
We
all
know
the
disaster.
D
I
think
of
what
the
initial
plans
were
for
in
reconstruction
of
several
intersections
on
merriman
what
two
years
ago
or
so,
and
then
how
public
came
into
that
process
and
strongly
disagreed
with
what
the
plans
were
going
to
be,
and
so
so
I
guess
the
thought
was
of
like
pet,
at
least
and
and
certainly
asphalt.
D
So
that
was
a
real
concern
that
they're
not
getting
public
input
on
anything
that
they're
doing
right
now
it
looks
like
to
the
public-
maybe
they're,
just
going
to
steamroll
it
through
like
they
tried
to
do
last
time
and
it
was
through
a
huge
public
and
city
outreach.
You
know
reach
that
they
stopped
that
process,
so
that
was
just
the
concern
of
asheville
and
bikes
and
then
and
like
the
task
force,
is
that
that
ncdot
really
isn't
reaching
out
to
anybody,
but
the
city
and
that's,
we
saw
last
time
wasn't
enough.
C
E
Yeah,
so
you
know
just
listening
to
this:
just
we
literally
were
just
talking
about
density,
on
a
different
topic
about
how
we're
going
to
put
as
many
houses
as
possible
and
all
the
nooks
and
crannies
across
the
the
town,
the
city,
and
that's
only
going
to
increase
the
amount
of
flow
to
these
these
major
arteries
and
to
have
that
conversation
and
think
about
like
oh
well.
Let's
just
go
ahead
and
resurface
this
road.
Without
I
don't
know
it
just
it
makes
me
a
little
hot.
E
There
are
places
in
town
that
are
state
roads
that
we
can
all
agree
on
that
need
to
be
fixed
immediately.
You
know,
for
example,
meadow
road.
Let's,
let's
fix
that
now,
we
can
all
agree
that
that
needs
to
be
fixed.
Why
are
we
resurfacing
a
road
on
merriman
only
to
come
back
and
completely
tear
it
back
up
after
we've
had
the
time
and
effort
to
think
about
what
we
want
to
do.
E
Why
don't
we
put
that
on
hold
for
a
minute
and
and
and
think
about
this
and
think
about
how
it
aligns
with
with
our
density?
You
know
city
initiative
and
I
don't
know
it
just
seems
really
wasteful
redundant
just
a
bad
bad
way
to
go
about
things.
C
I
A
lot
of
my
teammates
have
said,
sentiments
that
I
share
so
I'll.
Try
and
be
brief.
Their
lack
of
public
engagement
should
not
be
our
problem
that
feels
it
feels
like
a.
I
I
don't
love
hearing
that
as
a
as
a
commissioner.
You
know
like
what
I
hear
is
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
time
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that,
and
that
does
not
feel
good,
and
I
don't
think
that
would
feel
like.
I
am
a
block
from
merriman
avenue.
I
am
repeatedly
at
that
intersection
where
guy
was
hit
by
a
car
and
is
daily
experiencing
traumatic
living
issues
because
of
it
like
I'm
sorry,
they
don't
have
time
to
come
and
talk
to
us
is
not
really.
Okay
with
me.
C
F
Yeah
I'll
echo,
all
that
too,
I
think
I
mean
the
status
quo
is
not
working,
so
why
don't?
They
need
public
input
to
keep
the
status
quo?
What
it
is
I
mean
you
know
it,
and
everybody
seems
to
be
on
the
same
page,
that
there
needs
to
be
improvements,
and
road
resurfacing
doesn't
happen
all
that
often
so
it
seems
like
a
great
opportunity
to
say,
look
we're
going
to
resurface
it,
let's
get
some
input
and
if
that
means
that
they
got
to
put
it
off
for
another
year.
I
don't
you
know.
F
F
H
Actually,
echo
would
kenny
just
said,
so
I
think
that
putting
it
off
is.
It's
definitely
worth
a
conversation,
because
it
is
such
a
busy
road
because
it
is
a
state
road.
I've
lived
in
other
cities
where,
just
because
it's
a
state
road
doesn't
mean
it's
not
eligible
for
a
road
diet
that
doesn't
those
two
things.
Don't
it
doesn't
make
sense
to
me.
So
I
just
think
that
it's
it's
an
opportunity
to
imagine
something
that
could
be
really
really
great
for
the
community,
so
I
think
it's
worth
putting
on
hold.
H
We
should
pursue
that.
B
Thanks
john
yeah,
I
I
feel
like
some
of
the
anxiety
or
frustration
whatever
it
is
that
we're
feeling
as
a
group
is
because
this
neighborhood,
I
feel
like
we're
very
close
to
getting
them
to
where
we
want
them,
where
they're
out
of
their
cars,
they're,
making
walking
trips,
biking
trips
and
we're
so
close.
We
just
need
to
make
it
safe
for
them
and
I
think
we
can
get
over
that
hump
for
a
neighborhood
and
then
we
can
do
another
neighborhood
and
another
one.
B
But
I
feel
like
we're
just
missing
an
opportunity
here
and
I'm
not
sure
what
you
know
where
it
is.
But
something
seems
missing
to
me.
So
you
know
I
don't
know
what
makes
sense.
But,
oh
sorry,
john
or
mobster,
michael
michael.
C
C
The
project
or
its
funding
or
how
that
works,
because
my
experience
with
projects
is
you
don't
spend
the
money,
it's
not
good,
it's
not
necessarily
isn't
coming
back.
It
could
be
even
that
delaying
it
for
a
year
could
delay
it
by
five
years.
I
don't
know
I.
B
Okay,
thank
you
jessica.
What
what's
what's
your
sense
is,
do
you
feel
like
we
have
a
disconnect
between
us
and
and
nc
dot
on
this
or
what's
your,
what's
your
sense
for
how
to
best
move
forward
here.
L
Well,
it's
tough
because
it's
it's!
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
lot
of
progress.
That's
been
made
with
ncdot
in
general
on
the
city's
concerns
over
the
last
several
years.
I
see
them
making
efforts
big
efforts.
I
would
say
in
a
lot
of
project
areas,
for
example,
they're
going
to
be
working
with
us
on
haywood
road
resurfacing,
which
is
going
to
include
a
lot
of
pedestrian
improvements,
they're
going
to
be
they're,
currently
working
with
us
right
now
to
address
the
pedestrian
crossing
issues
on
amboy
road
bridge.
L
They
are
going
to
be
resurfacing,
meadow
road
and
doing
bike
facilities
on
meadow
road,
and
so
it's
simultaneously.
We
we
get
some
really
positive
outcomes
in
our
in
our
discussions
and
our
working
with
them
and
then
and
then
on
on
big
projects
like
this.
It's
it's
been,
not
that
I
don't
think
it's
because
they
don't
want
to
to
do
it
or
that
they
don't
take
it
seriously.
I
think
it's
in
this
case.
L
Unfortunately,
for
them
more
of
a
logistical
issue
and
a
financial
issue,
I
believe
the
project
was
already
contradict
contracted
out
when
they
do
resurfacing
projects,
they
tend
to
bundle
them.
So
they'll
bundle
like
three
or
four
major
projects
into
one
bid
it
out
and
then
that
contractor
who's
awarded.
L
That
project
has
the
discretion
as
to
which
one
they
want
to
tackle
first,
and
so
they
don't
really
know
exactly
the
timing
of
when
it
will,
when
each
individual
one
will
move
forward,
and
so
in
some
ways
it's
like
the
ship
has
sailed
for
them
and
that's
frustrating,
I
think,
for
the
city,
because
we
we
would
have
preferred
to
have
more
more
discussion
way
ahead
of
time
about
this
before
it
was
put
on
their
books
and-
and
I
don't
know
if
ken
is
still
here-
I
think
kathy
also
joined
and
they
may
wish
to
to
speak
more
on
it.
L
L
I'm
hoping
that
we
can
make
some
progress
on
mere
men,
and
you
know
the
frustrating
thing
for
me
is
that
projects
you
know
like,
like
somebody
said
they
only
come
up
every
10
years
or
so,
and
so
it's
it's
it's
like
one
end
of
the
spectrum
is
like
you're
rushing
and
you
don't
have
enough
time
to
do
what
you
want
and
then
or
you're
waiting
for
another
two
decades,
and
I
wish
there
was
like
an
in-between
and
that's
where
we're
at
with
nariman.
I
think.
J
Thanks
dennis
and
thanks
jessica
for
the
update-
and
I
I
agree
with
what
everyone
else
has
already
said.
But
what
did
come
to
mind
when
you
were
just
providing
your
update
jessica
was:
is
there
some
sort
of
happy
medium
that
we
could
somehow
come
to
with
ncdot,
where
it's
something
between
you
know
the
most
amazing
sort
of
redesign,
a
road
diet
that
that
the
public
would
like
to
see
for
that
corridor
and
just
sort
of
a
very
generic
resurfacing?
J
Where-
and
maybe
this
is
already
part
of
the
conversation,
but
where
we're
talking
about
like
updating
signals
and
signal
timing,
and
maybe
new
technology
at
crosswalks
and
better
crosswalks
and
and
looking
at
some
elements
of
what
might
be
incorporated
into
a
really
great
future
redesign,
but
just
getting
some
really
immediate,
like
pieces
in
place
when
they
take
this
project
on.
L
L
It's
called
a
pedestrian
hybrid
beacon
at
merriman
and
spears,
and
that
project
is
moving
forward
and
should
be.
I
think,
those
started,
probably
in
the
next
couple
of
months,
and
so
there's
there's
like
the
big
project
and
then
there's
opportunities
that
we
continue
to
work
with
them
on
these
spot
improvements
and
to
the
extent
that
there
might
be
funding
in
their
resurfacing
to
make
some
additional
spot
improvements.
We'll
certainly
talk
with
them
about
that
and
again,
as
part
of
any
resurfacing,
they
are
required
to
make
ada
improvements.
L
So
at
the
very
least,
we
will
see
improvements
to
the
curb
ramps
and
such,
but
it's
it's
not
it's,
unfortunately,
not
an
opportunity
to
to
do
much
more
than
that,
but
I'm
happy
at
least
we'll
be
getting
that.
J
No,
that's,
okay,
it
it
just
so
I'm
I'm
in
west
asheville
right
off
the
state
street
where
the
new
rrfb
is
in
place,
and
I
don't
know
how
much
of
all
that
was
tied
to
just
like
general
resurfacing
or
what,
but
you
know
there
wasn't
really
any
sort
of
redesign
of
the
road.
J
There
was
some,
like,
you
said,
spot
improvements,
adding
that
crosswalk
in
and
it
has
made
that
corridor
for
me
as
a
pedestrian
and
runner
feels
so
much
more
safe,
even
adding
center
lines
in
the
road
and
some
like
demarcated
parking
spaces
on
the
west
side
of
the
road.
J
It's
done
a
lot,
I
think,
to
slow
traffic
down
there.
So
I
know
merriman
is
a
totally
different
animal,
but,
looking
at
you
know
some
spot
improvements
like
that
context,
I
think
would
be,
would
be
amazing
if
we
can't
get
anything
else.
B
Oh
sorry,
I
saw
your
hand
raised
there.
Michael
stratton.
E
Yeah,
so
I'm
just
curious:
is
there
a
mechanism
that
a
city
can
can
request
a
delay
on
a
project
like
this
at
the
state
level,
because
if
so,
I
I
mean
I
would
I
would
like
to
advocate
for
that.
I
don't
even
put
a
motion
on
the
table
to
do
that,
because
what
I'm
hearing
is
they're
going
to
do
this
resurfacing
and
then
they're
going
to
tell
us
we're
good
for
the
next
10
years,
and
I
don't
want
to
wait
10
years
to
have
this
fixed.
That's
a
long
time.
I
Thanks,
michael
your
sentiment
of
like
not
waiting
wanting
to
wait
a
long
time
I
share,
and
I
guess
I
just
kind
of
want
to
express
a
point
that
I
feel
a
little
confused
about
in
this
explanation
of
like
the
amount
of
public
input
that
happened
in
2008.
I
Although
it
was
around
a
specific
intersection,
I
think
could
very
easily
be
extrapolated
to
the
community's
response
and
the
fact
that
this
has
now
snuck
up
on
us
three
short
years
later
is
like
something
about
that
story
doesn't
feel
like
that
makes
sense
to
me
where,
unless
they
just
completely
didn't
listen
to
a
single
word,
a
citizen
said
in
2018
how
they
would
like
it.
It
just
feels
like
they're
sneaking
in
oh,
we
don't
have
time
now
it's
like!
Well,
we
actually
told
you
a
lot
about
what
we
want
in
2018.
I
and
then
I
just
want
to
acknowledge,
like
I
get
it,
that
the
city
is
in
a
really
challenging
triangle,
when
I
was
at
the
city
relating
to
the
utility
into
citizens
like
I
get.
That
is
a
very
hard
thing
to
do,
and
I
understand
we
have
to
manage
our
relationships
because
dot
has
a
lot
more
power
and
money
than
we
do
right.
So
we
need
to
figure
out
how
our
relationship
is
positive
and
sometimes
pushing
too
far
is
challenging.
So
I
just
want
to
like
name
that
and
be
like
steph.
I
I'm
sure
this
isn't
easy.
Thank
you
and
y'all
were
part
of
2018
conversations
too,
like
how
did
this
sneak
up
on
us?
What's
going
on
like,
like?
I
just
don't
understand
how
we're
all
going
like,
oh
time's
up
and
it's
like,
then
what
was
the
exhausting
amount
of
input
that
we
labored
over
in
2018,
for
because
I'm
not
going
to
believe
that
y'all
chose
to
ignore
us.
That's
just
not
something
I
I
don't
believe
it.
So
I
just
I'm
confused
about
how
we're
here.
M
Yes,
I
do,
I
just
want
to
just
add
a
couple
things.
First
of
all,
as
far
as
the
project
that
happened
back
in
2018
in
this
one
they're
entirely
two
different
projects,
the
the
one
in
2018
was
a
part
of
the
state
transportation
improvement
program,
so
that
was
more
or
less
construction
related.
What
the
d.o.t
is
basically
doing
here
is
just
a
maintenance
related
project,
it's
in
their
resurfacing
program.
M
They
bundle
a
whole
bunch
of
projects
together
and
one
of
the
newer
things
that
they've
been
doing
for
the
last
two
or
three
years
is
they've,
actually
been
letting
the
projects
and
giving
a
contractor
almost
two
years
to
complete
his
bundle
of
projects
so
like,
for
example,
some
of
the
projects
that
they
may
be
already
led
in
the
contractor's
hands
may
not
be
done
for
another
almost
two
years
and
they
tried
to
do
that
to
try
to
get
a
contract
or
committed
to
a
project
so
that
the
work
will
get
done
and
also
to
try
to
hold
the
prices
down
as
well.
M
M
What
city
staff
did
when
we
became
aware
of
the
project
was
just
ask
the
question
if
we
could
consider
the
road
diet
on
you
know
on
behalf
of
the
multimodal
transportation,
commission
and
and
others,
and
this
is
the
answer
that
we
got,
that
they
really
can't
put
it
into
this
bundle
of
projects.
M
But
ever
since
2018
and
that
other
project
was
shelved,
we'll
say
they
have
been
working
to
try
to
see
what
we
can
do
on
the
merriman
corridor
and
then
the
covet
event
hit
and
some
of
their
work
got
delayed.
But
the
project
is
still
moving
forward
and
all
to
try
to
change
what
it
looks
like
right
there
near
I-240,
so
that
we
could
be
in
a
position
to
divert
traffic
off
of
merriman
avenue
when
this
can
get
moving
forward.
So
they're
still
working
towards
that
end.
B
M
M
B
Me
I
missed
that
dance.
Sorry
if,
if
the
2018
project
went
through,
it
wouldn't
have
been
a
part
of
this
resurfacing
package
at
this
time.
M
Well,
yes,
they
would
have
done
the
if
that
other
project
had
gone
through.
That
would
have
just
been
between
up
up
near
unca
in
that
immediate
area.
This
reception
project
goes
from
about
beaver
lake,
all
the
way
down
to
I-240.
L
Just
for
the
benefit
of
those
that
are
newer,
which
of
which
we've
got
several
new
folks,
there
were
two
intersection
improvements
that
were
previously
being
proposed
by
ncdot
at
the
intersection
of
wt.
Weaver
was
one,
and
then
I
think
the
intersection
just
north
of
that
I
can't
remember
exactly,
but
they
were
proposing
to
widen
both
of
those
intersections
substantially,
add
turn
lanes
and
basically
just
what
make
them
a
lot
bigger
and
the
city
pretty
and
the
public
already
forcefully
said.
L
And
so
that's
what
maggie
was
referring
to
the
2018
and
the
public
input
that
was
received
during
that
time.
For
those
particular
projects
and-
and
so
this
resurfacing,
like
ken
said,
is
to
them
it's
a
maintenance
project
to
us,
it's
more
than
that
right
and,
and
they
recognize
that
in
many
ways,
especially
with
the
haywood
project,
that
they're
going
to
work
with
us
on
mairman
has
been
a
little
more
challenging.
B
D
Yeah,
so
I
don't
think
they
understand
that
nctc
does
understand
that
we're
actually
trying
to
help
them
in
this
way,
because,
even
though
they
think
they're
avoiding
maybe
having
to
go
through
a
public
input
process,
they're
going
to
get
it
if
they
resurface
this
and
don't
do
a
road
diet
or
even
talk
about
a
road
diet.
I
mean
the
city
now
is
doing
charlotte
students.
G
I
do
hey
I'm
kathy
ball,
I'm
one
of
the
assistant
city
managers
and
I
work
with
ken
and
jessica
and
have
been
involved
in
conversations
with
d.o.t
about
this
issue.
I
want
to
first
I've
heard
a
lot
and
I
don't
want
to
repeat
anything-
that's
been
said,
but
ken
mentioned
that
they
are
working
on
a
project
to
connect
broadway
to
broadway.
G
I
know
that
sounds
kind
of
crazy,
but
if
you
think
about
broadway
on
the
north
side
and
how
it
does
not
connect
so
right
now,
merriman
serves
as
that
us-25
connector
for
them
and
in
their
world.
That's
a
big
deal
like
the
fact
that
it
has
that
designation
and
y'all
may
have
already
talked
about
that,
but
then
that
restricts
them
even
more
on
what
they
can
do
with
a
u.s
highway
and
it
sounds
very
bureaucratic.
It
is
very
bureaucratic.
G
We
have
crazy
bureaucratic
stuff
like
that
as
well,
but
it
does
limit
some
of
the
things
that
can
be
done
what
they
proposed
to
us,
because
we
met
with
them
and
said
we
want.
You
know
we
want
you
to
do
this,
we're
going
to
keep
pushing
you
to
do
this.
I
did
want
you
to
know
that
we
had
the
conversations
with
them
and
and
they
they
like
charlotte
street.
You
probably
I
don't
know.
If
jessica
said,
our
fire
department
loves
it.
G
We've
gotten
good
response
from
our
ems
folks,
and
so
some
of
their
problem
comes
from
two
things.
One
of
them
was
the
public
engagement
that
you're
talking
about,
but
the
other
one
was
just
that
the
thresholds
of
the
counts.
They
have
fall
over
a
x
number
and
if
you
fall
over
x
number,
you
can
only
do
x
and
you
can.
You
cannot
do
y.
G
You
know
what
I
mean.
So
they
follow
this
rule
book
that
we've
learned
over
the
past
year.
We've
got
to
learn
to
rewrite
right,
but
they
they
haven't
yet
like
figured
out
how
to
do
that
and
some
things
we
haven't
either.
So
here's
my
suggestion,
maybe
is
that
we
go
back
to
them
and
say
we
met
and
we
have
a
multimodal
commission.
That
very
is,
you
know,
wants
to
continue
to
pursue
this
and
we
think
that
it
it
could
end
up.
G
Like
somebody
just
said,
you
know
you're
going
to
hear
about
it
on
the
back
end.
If
you
choose
to
not
listen
now
and
give
them
a
heads
up
that
we,
you
know
that
we
have
a
lot
of
strong
our
strong
citizens
that
that
are
active
in
this
area
that
want
to
see
this
happen
and
give
them
a
chance
to
respond.
G
So
that
would
be,
you
know,
we're
trying
to
do
relationship
building
we're
trying
to.
We
do
have
a
different,
a
different
administration
at
dot
than
we've
had
before
and
regardless
of
what
we
all
say,
what
we
dealt
with
before
was
it
was
just
impossible
to
deal
with,
and
now
that
we
have
somebody
that
is.
G
G
We
would
welcome
that,
but
let's
set
up
a
meeting
and
have
a
conversation
with
them
and
it's
not
scheduled
until
the
summer.
So
it's
not
going
to
happen
tomorrow
and
we
can
get
that
on
the
books
in
the
next
week
or
two
and
I'm
offering
that
up
just
as
a
way
to
to
move
forward
and
at
least
know
that
we
have
tried
everything
we
can
with
conversation
before
we
go
the
political
route,
because
I
think
what
y'all
are
suggesting
with
a
resolution
and
then
taking
that
resolution
to
council.
G
It's
it's
a
way
to
go,
but
I'm
wondering
if
there
is
a
way
to
go
where
we
can
give
them
a
heads
up.
This
is
what
this
is,
what
the
multimodal
commission
is
going
to
recommend
if,
if
this
doesn't
happen,
if
there's
still
strong
feelings-
or
maybe
you
all
will
learn
something,
and
we
will
learn
something
in
that
meeting.
What
do
y'all
think
about
that
idea?.
B
B
You
know,
I
think
that
sounds
like
a
great
path
and
at
least
we
can
get
some
more
information
to
make
sure
you
know
the
sense
that
I'm
getting
is
that
we're
letting
something
slip
out
of
our
hands
here
and
if
that's
not,
what's
you
know
your
team
feels,
then
we
obviously
have
faith
that
you're
going
to
lead
us
on
the
right
path.
So
that
sounds
like
a
good
plan.
G
Yeah,
I
I
you
know
we
have
so
much
going
on
in
this
city
and
we're
trying
to
figure
out
what
what
kind
of
which
hills
we're
gonna
I
shouldn't
say
this,
but
which
you
know
what
things
we're
gonna
tackle.
But
if
this
group,
you
know
you
all,
are
empowered
to
be
the
group
who
speaks
about
multimodal
and
if
you
feel
like
this
is
an
issue
that
that
you
want.
You
know
feel
strong
enough
about
that.
G
G
So
let
us
know
jessica
can,
can
let
me
know,
and
then
our
office
can
set
that
meeting
up
with
mark
teague
and
his
staff,
and
we
can
try
to
get
that
in
the
next
week
or
two
and
we
can
move
forward
if
y'all
think
that's
a
good
route.
B
That
sounds
good.
That
sounds
great
excellent.
Thank
you
very
much
good,
sos
call
here
boy.
I
tell
you
what
we
got
today.
We
got
some
response,
that's
fantastic!
I.
G
I
I
appreciate
you,
I
love
hearing
your
suggestion.
I
think
that's
a
lovely
one
michael.
I
appreciated
you
bringing
the
suggestion
of
like
what
can
we
do?
Can
we
do
a
resolution
towards
council?
I
think
that
that's
the
spirit
I
feel,
and
we
all
feel-
and
I
think
that
the
mechanism
kathy
is
suggesting,
gets
us
to
a
great
spot
with
just
a
little
bit
of
a
different
mechanism.
I
Building
off
of
your
idea
and
again
just
you
know,
those
relationship
building
stuff
is
not
easy,
so
I
get
that,
but
I
think
we're
we
are
active,
excited
volunteers,
to
build
that
relationship
too.
I'd
love
to
be
part
of
that
meeting.
So
put
me
on
the
list
of
volunteers
and
hope
others
can
join.
Okay.
G
M
Ken
I
saw
in
the
chat
where
michael
had
a
question
about
expanding
on
the
middle
road
resurfacing
a
little
bit
and
I'll
be
glad
to
do
that.
Michael
this
section
of
metal
road
between
the
bridge
that
goes
over
the
railroad
track
and
back
over
to
amboy
road.
It
had
a
what
they
call
a
friction
course
on
top
of
it,
which
is
a
rougher
surface,
to
try
to
cut
down
on
the
slickness
in
that
area,
and
it
has
been
raveling
off
if
you've
driven
on
it.
M
Lately,
it's
just
about
gone,
it's
very
rutted
and
everything
so
the
d
we
pointed
it
out
to
the
d.o.t
and
they
have
added
it
to
their
resurfacing
program
and
the
other
thing
they're
going
to
do
at
the
same
time
they're
going
to
try
their
best
to
create
paid
shoulders
as
well.
That
could
serve
as
bike
lanes.
B
Thank
you,
anna.
Do
you
have
your
hand
up?
Oh
you're,
all
set
okay.
Sorry,
oh
no
you're,
good
you're
good!
Are
we
all
set
here
excellent?
Thank
you.
Well,
a
quick,
thank
you
to
our
commenters.
If
you
know,
if
you
had
any
question
about
whether
your
comments
matter,
I
think
the
last
20
minutes
demonstrated
that
we're
willing
to
willing
to
you
know
have
a
conversation
having
the
hard
conversations.
C
B
You
know
people
like
submit
comments.
That's
really
good!
Get
your
friends
get
your
family
if
you
have
other
people
that
feel
the
same
way.
Those
comments
come
in
here
and
they
do
make
a
difference.
Our
city
and
staff
deal
with
a
lot
of
really
complicated
and
important
issues
every
day
and
it's
our
job
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
this
is
an
important
issue
as
well,
and
this
is
exactly
how
we
do
it.
So,
thanks
to
everyone
that
made
the
comments.
B
Okay,
everybody
good
we're
just
clear
all
right:
a
new
business
back
to
the
agenda
new
business.
So
we
have
a
presentation
on
the
draft
of
the
south
slope
vision
plan.
N
Hi
everybody,
my
name
is
sasha
vertonsky,
I'm
a
planner
here
in
planning
and
urban
design,
and
I
don't
know
most
of
you
actually,
of
course
I
know
maggie
ullman
very
well
but
and
joe
on
pnz,
but
I'm
a
planner
in
long
range
planning
here
on
the
fifth
floor
and
I'm
going
to.
N
Sorry,
we
have
been
working
on
a
south
slope
vision
plan
for
several
years
and
we're
kind
of
we're
getting
ready
to
roll
it
out
to
the
public
probably
next
month,
and
so
this
is
a
little
bit
of
a
preview
for
you.
All.
I've
also
done
a
similar
presentation
to
the
south
slope,
neighborhood
association.
So
I
will
you
have
my
presentation,
I'm
promising
not
to
read
all
my
read
all
the
text
on
the
slides,
but
you
have
it
there.
M
N
While
I'm
waiting
for
that
to
take
effect,
I
don't
know
why
it's
taking
so.
N
N
Here
we
go
so
just
while
that's
hopefully
pulling
up
the
south
vision
plan
is
really
kind
of.
We
started
embarked
upon
this
because
it's
one
of
the
innovation
districts.
N
Sure,
sorry
about
that,
and
so
really
this
area
is
the
commercial
areas
in
the
southern
part
of
our
downtown,
so
south
of
hillyard
avenue
it
includes
aston
park
and
also
the
mountainside
park
and
mccormick
field
down
to
choctaw.
You
know
so
this
presentation
really
presents
the
main
ideas
of
the
plan.
N
What
it
doesn't
include
is
the
kind
of
the
public
outreach
we
did.
We
did
a
studio
down
on
cox
avenue
in
the
refinery
building
and
it
also
doesn't
include
the
history
of
this.
N
Everyone
see
that
yeah
so
amy,
if
you
could
just
scroll,
if
you
can
scroll
up
a
little
bit
and
try
to
do
one
slide
at
a
time.
Thank
you
yeah.
You
can
make
it
a
little
bigger
if
you
want
okay.
So
this
is
the
south
slope
kind
of
an
aerial
view.
Perfect.
N
So
this
this
is
just
a
2d
map
showing
that
you
know
most
about
half
of
this
area
is
zoned
cbd,
central
business
district
and
the
other
parts
south
of
the
central
business
district.
Are
you
know,
office,
business,
regional
business?
So
they
tend
to
be
a
little
bit
more
suburban
type.
Zoning
you
can
keep
going
amy.
N
And
just
as
a
note,
the
history
of
this
area
is
really
interesting,
so
this
area
was
impacted
by
redlining
for
a
number
of
years.
The
redlining
maps,
if
you're
familiar
with
what
redlining
is
loans,
were
not
made
available
to
folks
in
this
area
we
very
intentionally
stayed
out
of
residential
neighborhoods,
but
we
are
so.
These
are
really
business
corridors
that
are
very
adjacent
to
like
south
french,
broad,
south
side
oakhurst
and
we're
a
little
bit.
We're
close
to
east
end
valley
street,
but
not
directly
adjacent.
N
N
So
I'm
going
to
try
to
be
brief,
you
could
keep
going
amy,
so
the
first
one
is
quality
built
environment
and
basically,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
build
on
the
good
bones.
We
have
already
in
place
with
historic
structures
here,
also
acknowledging
that
this
area
is
growing
and
trying
to
make
sure
we're
taking
into
account
those
neighborhoods,
and
maybe
you
can
keep
going
to
the
next
slide.
N
N
So
we've
got
mostly
single-family
homes
directly
behind
these
areas
and
we
want
to
be
more
sensitive
about
height
and
impacts
to
those
neighbors,
and
then
the
blue,
around
banks
in
buxton
was
kind
of
an
area
that
was
community
folks
identified
as
the
heart
of
south
slope
and
felt
very
protective
over
the
heights
and
what
the
character
of
that
area
was,
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
later.
You
can
keep
going
amy.
N
So
one
of
our
themes
is
a
unique
and
inclusive
sense
of
place,
and
really
we're
using
part
of
this
theme
is
to
talk
about
equity.
Obviously,
inclusion
is
not
just
about
any
one
particular
part
of
your
life.
It's.
N
How
do
you
feel
socially
included?
Economically
and
politically?
Do
you?
Is
there
a
place
for
you
in
this
neighborhood?
So
south
slope
is
growing
quickly,
as
we
know,
there's
businesses
opening
new
residential
developments
being
built
today
and
will
continue
to
be
built.
So
how
do
how
does
that
work
within
that
neighborhood
and
also?
How
does
it
relate
to
the
neighborhoods
adjacent
and
the
south
slope?
N
Neighborhood
association,
I
think,
is
fairly
committed
to
reaching
out
to
their
neighbors
and
they're
doing
a
pretty
good
job
on
on
that,
so
you
can
keep
going
amy,
strong
local
economy.
Obviously
local
business
and
small
businesses
are
the
heart
of
asheville's
economy
and
we
really
want
to
continue
that
in
the
south
slope.
N
I
think
if
you
all
are
familiar
with
the
asheville
share
space
initiative.
That's
been
going
on
during
covet
19.
You
know.
Our
team
has
worked
like
on
banks
avenue
to
have
those
public
spaces
in
the
street,
which
have
been
really
great.
So
next.
N
So
obviously,
these
are
the
four
main
goals
of
this
section
and
safe,
accessible
pedestrian,
friendly
streets,
public
space
and
vibrant
street
life,
bicycle
facilities
and
working
with
alleys
and
reducing
driveways.
You
know
that's
a
big
part
of
cox,
avenue
and
ashland
avenue.
There's
a
lot
of
driveway
cuts.
N
Ashland
was
developed
as
a
suburban
kind
of
thoroughfare,
really
frankly,
right
that
used
to
be
a
much
more
urban
street,
with
houses
on
it
and
through
urban
renewal,
most
of
those
houses
or
even
before,
I
think,
to
some
extent
those
houses
were
removed
and
ashland
was
straightened
out
and
has
become
really.
Quite
you
know
it's.
It's
mostly
used
for
cars
and
suburban
offices,
and
I
think
over
time
that's
going
to
change
too.
F
N
So
our
transportation
staff
actually
wrote
this
section
of
the
plan,
so
dan
bechtold's
in
a
different
meeting.
Sorry
couldn't
be
here
lucy's
here
and
we
had
other
folks
really
be
a
part
of
this.
So
we
have
these
prioritized
transportation
improvements
laid
out.
We
didn't
do
this
with
other
sections
of
the
plan,
but
it
seemed
helpful
for
this
section.
There's
a
lot
of
text
and
I'm
glossing
over
this
completely.
So
there
will
be
a
lot,
a
lot
more
meat
on
the
bones
when
the
actual
plan
gets
released.
N
So
these
were
the
first
five
and
you
can
go
next
amy.
I
will
I'll
talk
about
a
few
more
of
these
later
on
as
well.
N
You
know,
we've
got
a
mixture
of
big
streets
and
small
streets
in
this
area.
The
south
slope,
neighborhood
association,
is
interested
in
some
things
that
are
a
little
counter
to
general
city
policy
about
you
know
one
on
collier
they're
interested
in
making
that
a
pedestrian
only
street,
whereas
we
don't
really
want
to
close
off
any
streets
to
cars
or
having
connectivity
is
important
to
us,
but
I
think
generally
everybody
agrees.
We
want
streets
to
be
safe,
just
all
the
things
you
all
have
been
talking
about
for
the
last
hour.
N
N
Amy
strategic
infrastructure
and
natural
environment.
Obviously
this
is
a
really
important
theme
for
our
entire
city.
This
is
an
example
of
the
green
roof.
You
know
that's
near
the
aloft
on
top
of
the
biltmore
garage
apartments.
N
South
slope
is
the
major
many
of
some
of
you
may
know.
May
not,
but
you
know,
downtown
is
basically
all
drains
through
the
south
slope
down
to
the
nasty
branch
creek
and
storm
water,
even
though
it's
not
a
major
major
problem.
Obviously
storm
water
infrastructure
is
important
and
if
we
can
reduce
the
amount
of
water
flowing
into
the
river,
I
know,
but
that's
what
the
community
wants.
So
that's
the
traditional
name,
so
we've
left
town
branch
behind
and
we're
going
back
to
nasty
branch.
N
N
In
our
city
next,
so
I
will
stop.
I
can
stop
right
there
or
I
can
wait
till
the
very
end.
If
anybody
has
any
questions
about
those.
Yes,.
E
I
was
just
kind
of
sitting
on
the
the
comment
you
made
about
the
city,
not
wanting
to
close
any
corridors
to
cars
where,
when
did
when
did
that
happen?.
N
Well-
and
maybe
I'm
overstating
so-
let
me
just
say
in
downtown
in
a
business
district,
it
can
be
a
little
tricky
to
close
a
street
where
businesses
are
relying
on
deliveries
and
but
in.
E
This
case,
in
this
case
it's
a
neighborhood,
that's
actually
asking
for
it.
I
remember
when
we
were
discussing
the
shared
streets
program
back
when
lockdown
had
happened.
There
was
a
quite
expansive
discussion
about
closing
down
streets
and
we
we
ended
up
at
the
place
where
we're
gonna
have
shared
streets
potentially,
and
it
was
paired
down
because
of
business
interest
that
I
think
you're
referencing.
But
in
this
case
it
sounds
like
we've.
We've
got
a
whole
neighborhood
of
business
interests
that
are
saying,
let's
close
collier
completely
tomorrow.
So
why
wouldn't
we.
N
N
N
Next,
I'm
not
gonna
read
through
these.
You
can
keep
next.
So
the
first
one
is,
you
know,
updating,
design
guidelines
and
zoning
to
achieve
community
goals.
N
Next,
this
is
an
interesting
area,
so
in
this
triangle,
between
biltmore,
south
charlotte
street
and
mccormick
place,
the
city
owns,
I
would
say
about
half
of
that
land
and
it's
where
our
gas
station
is
right
now
and
there's
the
wachovia
building
right
there
and
then
the
you
know
the
gas,
the
eblin
gas
station
right
there
at
the
corner.
N
We
are
interested
in
kind
of
improving
the
experience,
visitor
experience
to
mccormick
field
connecting
mccormick
field
and
that
park
closer
into
downtown
and
making
it
a
more
walkable
experience.
N
You
know
so
people
can
traverse
back
and
forth,
and
this
is
just
one
idea
that
this
is
just
one
idea,
for
you
know:
potential
new
housing,
maybe
business
space
and
could
have
some
parking.
That
also
would
help
mccormick
field.
If
you,
if
you
know
these
neighborhoods,
you
know
that
they
have
long
time
complained
about
the
amount
of
people
who
are
parking
in
their
neighborhoods
for
tourist
games
or
other
things.
N
And
that
you
can
keep
going,
I
mean
those
are
just
some
principles
for
that.
The
next
key
initiative
is
honoring
african
american
history,
which
a
lot
of
folks
have
gotten
a
lot
of
attention.
Over
the
last
five
years,
I'd
say
the
south
slope,
neighborhood
association
is
working
on
that
for
some
murals,
but
there's
also
multiple
other
projects
working
on
that
next
weaving
art
throughout
the
district.
N
N
With
the
bond
passed
several
years
ago,
we
approached
these
with
a
high
impact
sites
initiative
and
had
a
consultant
do.
Studies
of
these
areas
engage
the
community
and
also
do
performance
for
these
sites
and
it's
pretty
exciting.
The
319
bill.
Biltmore
project
is
moving
ahead
and
we
have
a
consultant
working
on
or
excuse
me
a
developer
after
rfp
process
working
on
that
site
for
probably
about
250
new
residential
units,
and
that
actually
needs
to
would
weave
with
the
new
lee
walker
heights
area
as
well.
So
it'd
be
a
mixed
income
community.
N
Equitable
development
is
a
strategy
that
we
are
looking
at
city-wide
and
the
comments
are
really
distracting.
I'm
sorry,
if
you
all
could
just
hold
on
you
know,
equitable
development
is
something
we
need
to
really
be
thinking
about
throughout
our
community.
N
N
So
this
you
all
may
be
aware
of
this
initiative,
or
this
idea
as
a
part
of
the
plan,
the
banks
and
buxton
kind
of
shared
streets
initiative,
the
idea
being
that
these
are
two
parallel
streets
that
seem
perfect,
like
the
asheville,
the
asheville
share
space
perfect
to
really
kind
of
slow
those
down
quiet
them
down,
make
them
more
pedestrian
dominated
and
make
cars
the
less
dominant
form
of
transportation
through
here.
N
There's
also
an
opportunity
you
know
to
affect
the
storm
water
and
how
that
gets
treated
coming
through
here
as
well.
Next,
I
think
I
have
more
one
more
yeah
drawing
so
this
this
model
on
the
right
is
not
quite
finished,
but
the
idea
is
obviously
you
would
kind
of
bring
out
the
sidewalks.
This
is
showing
losing
some
of
the
parking.
Maybe
not
all
parking
is
always
a
concern
for
business
owners,
so
we're
trying
to
balance
that,
because,
obviously
park
parking
can
do
good
things
and
bad
things
in
terms
of
pedestrian
safety.
N
N
Another
key
initiative
is
one
you're,
probably
all
familiar
with
the
south
side
connector,
which
is
one
of
the
greenway
connectors
that
lucy
has
been
working
on
next
the
nation.
Another
major
idea
coming
out
of
this
plan
is
cox
avenue
and
a
redesign
of
that
which
really
calls
for
widening
those
sidewalks.
N
We
would
love
to
see
this
be
a
green
street,
and
if
you
have
this,
you
know
if
you
have
time
on
your
commute,
you
can
zoom
in
a
little
bit,
but
the
ideas
have
you'd
have
permeable,
paving
you'd
have
some
of
those
bios
whales
or
planting
areas
which
really
capturing
rain
water
before
it
goes
back
out
into
the
street
and
reducing
the
amount
of
flow
and
our
david
hazard,
our
urban
designer
on
staff
designed
this
for
us
next
yeah.
N
Explanation
of
that
concept,
and
really
it's
also
a
place
making
concept
right.
So
it's
not
just
any
one
thing:
it's
both
transportation,
improvement,
green
street
improvement
and
placemaking
at
the
same
time
next,
and
then
I
think.
Lastly,
we
we
want
to
improve
incentives
for
sustainability,
because
we
that's
one
of
the
areas
that
we
really
we
don't
have
as
many
tools
as
we
would
like
to
part
of
that's
being
in
north
carolina,
but
we're
hoping
to
encourage
those
and
then
next.
N
Lastly,
it
just
is
a
quick
timeline
of
where
we
are
we're
working
with
a
graphic
artist
right
now
to
get
this
plan
together,
planning
on
releasing
it
in
april,
for
with
a
survey
of
some
kind
and
explanation
for
folks
and
doing
neighborhood
outreach
and
getting
some
and
getting
a
lot
more
feedback,
because
it's
been
a
while
since
we've
been
out
in
the
community-
and
we
have
in
this
plan,
have
addressed
some
issues
that
we
weren't
talking
about
during
the
planning
process
like
more
equity
issues
and
equitable
development
and
want
to
get
folks
feedback
on
those.
N
B
Hey
sasha,
I
I
really
liked
it
a
lot.
I
think
it's
there's
a
lot
of
great
information
in
there.
One
of
the
ideas
I
was
thinking
about
is
connecting
downtown
to
the
south
slope
and
I
think
sometimes
the
inclination
is
to
go
with.
You
know
with
a
busier
street,
but
maybe
we
can
consider,
I
think
it's
be
lexington
or
church,
because
they're
already
relatively
calm
streets,
so
walking
on
those
just
is
more
comfortable.
I
walk
a
lot
run.
You
know
ride
my
bike
and
those
streets.
B
I
tend
to
kind
of
filter
over
just
because
I
feel
a
little
bit
safer.
I
know
they're
getting
pretty
snug,
you
know,
there's
not
a
lot
of
room
for
us
to
to
do
something,
but
maybe
if
we
pushed
you
know
one
side
where
we
have.
You
know
all
the
sidewalk
on
one
side
or
something
like
that.
That
might
be
a
great
way
to
make
those
connections
and
make
that
the
you
know
kind
of
our
corridor
between
the
two
neighborhoods.
N
B
E
Yeah
I
had
noticed
that
trump
street
had
some
signage
at
one
point,
when
we
were
doing
the
shared
streets
program
that
it
had
designated
as
a
shared
street.
I
don't
recall
that
signage
is
still
there,
but
is.
Is
that
something
that
we
want
to
pursue
if
we
got
any
feedback
from
from
folks
on
that
corridor
from
like
central
methodist?
That's
where
I
go
to
church,
I'm
just
interested
to
know
what
what
the
response
has
been,
because
you
know
just
like
lexington.
E
N
I'll
be
honest:
we
didn't
hear
a
ton
of
feedback
about
church.
You
know
it's
a
little
bit
shorter
because
we
really
only
looked
south
of
hilliard
honestly,
so
we
did
look
at
I
mean
at
the
end
of
church.
We've
got
church
and
lexington
coming
in
and
you
got
that
weird,
no
man's
land
going
on
in
front
of
the
little
business
shop.
We
we
looked
at
like
well.
N
Those
really
would
depend
on
city
being
able
to
buy
property,
which
I'm
not
sure
is
how
likely
down
there.
We
didn't
hear
a
ton
of
comments
about
church
honestly,
but
we'll
be
glad
to
take
them.
You
know
when
we
get
the
draft
out
and
love
to.
E
If
that,
if
anybody
knew
that
it
was
a
shared
street
other
than
that
one
sign,
that
was
basically
right
in
front
of
the
the
bank
there
and
foggy
mountain,
because,
despite
that,
no
I
don't
think
anybody
would
know
has
any
of
those
entities
or
businesses
been
been
contacted
to.
Let
them
know
that
there
was
a
revision
to
the
street
that
it's
now
a
shared
street
and
what
that
means.
L
So
I
think
that
it's
I
to
be
honest.
I
can't
remember
if
it's
still
signed
that
way,
but
I
can
find
out-
and
I
can
ask
our
downtown
coordinator,
dana
frankel,
if
she's
gotten
any
feedback.
L
I
know
that
when
we
first
put
that
stuff
out
there,
it
was
by
request
from
I
want
to
say
at
least
two
of
the
churches
were
wanting
to
facilitate
the
shared
street
there
and-
and
I
think
the
nature
of
church
street
just
just
naturally
lends
itself
to
that,
and
so
I
I
think,
is
part
of
our
larger
pedestrian
plan
and
bike
network
planning.
E
Yeah,
if
anything
it'd
be
great
to
kind
of
buttress
that
and
don't
go
a
little
bit
further
with
signage,
because
it
is
a
wonderful
connection.
I
I
often
use
that
just
because
it's
so
pleasant
to
go
down
that
road,
especially
with
the
greenery.
B
Thanks
michael
joe.
K
Sasha,
I
just
the
question
regarding
the
city-owned
properties.
You
know
along
charlotte
street.
If
there
had
been
any
discussion.
I
know
the
the
reparations
committee
in
the
city
is
is
still
new,
but
if
there
had
been
any
like,
you
know
you,
I
know
that
the
city
has
been
talking
about
repurposing
those
city-owned
properties.
I
didn't
know
if
there
was
any
discussion
of
how
far
those
discussions
had
gone,
given
the
new
reparations
committee
and
that
kind
of
thing
into
perhaps
the
city
turning
those
over
as
opposed
to
developing
them.
N
N
Well,
that's,
okay,
so
I
mean
the
big.
The
big
thing
about
the
south
charlotte
street
properties
is
that
we
have
city
services
all
up
and
down
them
right
and
generally,
when
I
say
when
I
have
that
picture,
it's
really
everything
south
of
beaumont,
which
doesn't
include
the
development
services,
building
that
we
studied
and
public
works
is
kind
of
bursting
at
the
seams.
Frankly,
and
our
what
do
you
call
it?
N
Our
fleet
maintenance
building
is
at
its
end
of
life
and
so
really
to
re-house
all
that
first
we'd
have
to
find
a
home
for
all
of
those
things
and
that's
like
20,
26
acres,
and
so
we
have
we
been
doing
a
study.
C
C
K
I
knew
it's
a
kind
of
a
bigger
discussion
because
of
that
you
have
to
find
the
place
to
move.
You
know:
fleet,
maintenance
and-
and
everything
like
that,
I
know
the
discussion
revolved
around
well
then
maybe
does
the
bus
garage
go
there?
It's
it's
a
big
huge
question.
I
was
just
kind
of
curious
how
far
you
all
went
down
the
rabbit
hole
yet.
B
N
It
sure
I
guess
my
last
to
get
the
last
word
in,
but
now
I'll
just
say
that
when
we
do
release
this
I'd,
encourage
you
all
to
take
part
in
any
surveys
or
feedback
mechanism.
We
have,
and
I
will
definitely
let
jessica
will
know
when
that
happens
and
we'll,
let
you
all
know
so.
M
E
M
Because
I
can't
see
you
all
now,
I'm
just
looking
at
this
piece
of
paper.
This
is
the
the
update
that
I'm
furnishing.
M
You
is
the
most
current
update
that
we
have
at
this
moment
in
time,
and
it's
come
about
because
of
the
recent
budget
shortfalls
that
the
dlt
has
been
experiencing,
and
you
may
have
heard
about
that
in
last
fall
when
they
actually
went
below
the
minimum
cash
threshold
that
they're
supposed
to
keep
on
hand
and
they
had
to
halt
all
projects
and
that
sort
of
thing,
but
they're
climbing
out
of
that
and
they're
doing
much
better
on
that.
M
So
there's
four
sections
of
the
project
known
as
the
I-26
connector
project,
there's
section
a
b
c
and
d
and
section
a
is
on
the
first
bullet
and
that's
the
one:
that's
moving
the
quickest
right
now
and
it's
from
I-40
up
to
just
south
of
haywood
road.
So
that
includes
the
brevard
road
inter
intersection
or
interchange,
and
also
the
amboy
road.
You
know
change
to
kind
of
give
you
a
sense
of
where
it's
at
the
right-of-way.
For
that
one
is
scheduled
in
june
of
2022
and
the
construction.
M
Let
will
be
february
of
2024,
and
this
project
will
be
done
by
the
traditional
design
bid,
build
method.
That
means
the
design
will
be
complete.
It'll
go
out
for
bids.
The
successful
contractor
will
then
build
it.
So
this
way
the
vast
majority
of
projects
have
been
built
over
the
years
and,
in
parentheses,
I'm
also
telling
you
that
the
municipal
agreements
that
will
have
to
be
signed
between
the
d.o.t
and
the
city
they
would
be
due
on
august
20
2023.
M
The
second
section
is
b,
which
is
south
of
haywood
road
and
goes
all
the
way
up
to
broadway
street
and
that's
going
to
be
done
by
a
design,
build
method,
meaning
that
the
plans
won't
be
totally
finished
when
they
go
out
to
find
a
consultant,
slash
construction
team
to
finish
the
design
and
build
it
examples
of
a
design
build.
Is
the
the
interchange
project
over
a
brevard
road
and
I-26
right
near
the
fred
anderson
toyota?
M
That's
that's
a
design,
build
project
and
the
interchange
that's
existing
down
at
long
shoals,
road.
That
was
a
design
build
project.
That
means
that
this
team
will
take
the
project
if
they're
the
successful
contractor,
and
they
will
finish
the
design
they
will
be
then
tasked
with
building
that
section
and
they'll
do
it
for
one
lump
sum
price,
and
that
means,
if
they
finish
it
with
less
money.
That
means
they
get
to
keep
that
money.
M
B
M
Which
bridge
sorry,
the
the
current
golden
bridges,
the
jeff
bowen
bridges?
Yes,
that's
that's
in
section
b
b,
okay,
yes,
sir,
and
that's
the
biggest
section,
that's
the
most
expensive
section,
that'll
be
undertaken.
C
B
C
D
Yes,
please
so
ken
the
important
part
is
for
us
right
is
that
all
this
is
taking
place.
It
won't
be
signed
until
after
the
complete
streets
ordinance.
You
know,
statewide
ordinance
have
been
updated,
so
anything
it
touches
of
any
of
the
projects
that
we
have
on
our
book
for
multimodal
will
then
be
incorporated
into
their
construction
projects
right
to
it.
I'm
going
to
talk
about
the
good
part
of
it
for
this
group.
Is
that
we'll
see
some
then
improvements
like
an
embroidered
road
interchange?
D
M
Yes,
that's
a
very
good
point
randy
and
we
did.
We
did
get
verification
the
the
issydot
updated
their
complete
streets
policy
in
august
of
2019.,
and
so
we
were
well
underway
with
the
designing
of
of
this
project,
obviously
by
then,
but
we
got
the
assurance
that
that
that
complete
streets
policy
that
updated
one
will
be
applicable
to
this
project,
and
so
the
the
good
news
about
that
is
under
the
old
policy.
M
M
So,
in
our
case
that
forty
dollar,
or
that
forty
percent
works
out
to
be
like
less
than
ten
dollars
a
running
foot
for
a
five
foot
sidewalk,
which
we
can't
take
that
same
money
and
build
it
ourselves
for
that.
So
that
was
a
very
good
deal
for
us,
but
now
with
the
new
updated
policy
as
long
as
a
sidewalk
is
identified
in
our
plan
which
we're
updating,
if
the
project
comes
in,
then
the
dot
recognizes
that
then
they'll
put
the
sidewalk
in
at
no
cost
to
the
city.
M
If
it
turns
out
that
there's
a
road
that
they're
going
to
do,
we
don't
have
the
sidewalk
in
the
plan
which,
in
our
case,
that
would
be
very
few
of
those.
So
that's
not
going
to
happen,
but
then
our
cost
would
only
be
15
instead
of
that
40
percent,
so
the
updated
policy
is
definitely
good
and
it's
going
to
make
it
better,
not
only
for
asheville
but
communities
all
across
the
state.
M
If,
when
d.o.t
does
a
project
now
they
are
making
sure
that
there
is
a
standard,
10
foot
berm
behind
the
curb
so
that
later
on,
you
can
go
at
a
sidewalk
if
you
wanted
to
and
not
have
to
worry
about,
adding
retaining
walls
or
extending
a
pipe,
because
it's
not
wide
enough.
In
our
case,
the
dlt
recognizes
that
we
typically
want
to
see
a
five
foot
sidewalk
with
a
five
foot
utility
strip,
so
we
would
still
pay
extra
for
that
one
foot
to
get
an
11
foot
berm.
E
Yeah,
I
love
the
complete
streets
policy.
I
think
it's
fantastic.
That
update
was
was
wonderful.
My
question
is
is
what
is
the
likelihood
that
that
sticks
with
us?
If
the
governor's
mansion
were
to
change
hands
politically,
you
know
if,
if
all
of
a
sudden
just
you
know,
we
had
a
republican
in
the
governor's
mansion
who
didn't
think.
B
I
don't
want
to
put
anybody
on
the
spot
here.
I
think
you
know.
Political
speculation
is
a
very
difficult
thing
for
for
us
to
put
these.
E
M
Yeah-
and
I
think
I
think
michael,
I
can
answer
it
without
a
political
bias,
how's
that,
to
give
you
an
example,
I
can
remember
a
time
when
the
d.o.t
was
not
very
receptive
to
roundabouts
and
it
took
took
years-
and
I
can
say
this
because-
and
I
don't
know
if
all
of
you
know
this,
but
I
actually
retired
from
the
ncdot.
So
I've
got
I've
got
a
history
there,
but
I
can
remember
the
time
when
a
roundabout
would
never
be
considered.
M
Now
it's
one
of
the
more
common
things.
In
many
cases
that
is
first
suggested
to
solve
the
problem
at
an
intersection,
because
especially
the
single
lane,
roundabouts
have
proven
to
be
very
successful
throughout
north
carolina
because
they
eliminate
all
left
turns,
which
is
the
time
taker
from
a
traffic
signal.
And
then
it's
also
reduced
crash
history
significantly,
and
it's
virtually
brought
personal
injury
crashes
to
zero.
M
But
I'm
using
that
as
an
example
to
say
that
I
think
other
multimodal
transportation
ideas
that
are
still
evolving
and
coming
on
board
and
even
recommendations
from
groups
like
macto
they're,
finding
their
way
into
the
d.o.t
world
all
the
time,
and
I
think
it's
just
going
to
continue
to
get
better
it's
going
to
continue
to
solidify.
So
I
don't
personally
ever
see
those
things
going
away.
E
B
B
A
I
hope
you
can
hear
me
so
I
we
we
went
back
and
forth
this
month,
trying
to
decide
if
we
should
bring
our
consultants
in
to
talk
with
you
this
month
or
maybe
wait
till
next
month,
and
we
decided
obviously
that
we're
going
to
wait
till
next
month,
but
that
I
would
give
you
a
quick
verbal
update
on
where
we're
at
with
the
plans
like
most
plans,
we
spent
the
first
few
months,
maybe
more
gathering
all
of
the
data
that
we
needed
for
us
to
be
able
to
do
just
cursory
analysis,
and
I
can
say
that
our
consultants
are
just
pretty
amazing
at
doing
that.
A
A
North
carolina
d.o.t
bought
the
strava
information,
so
I
do
not
foresee
any
problems
getting
that,
but
we
haven't
gotten
it
yet,
but
that
is
also
going
to
be
adding
to
a
lot
of
our
decisions
once
we
have
that
in
our
toolkit.
As
well
as
you
can
imagine,
our
timeline
has
been
pushed
back
with
covid.
I
would
say
that
we're-
probably
six
months
behind
where
we
want
to
be.
A
We
probably
we
wanted
to
be
finishing
up
right
around
now,
but
it
looks
like
we'll
probably
be
in
the
fall
that
we'll
be
finishing
up,
but
we
have
gotten
over
the
first
big
hurdle,
which
was
gathering
all
that
data
we're
starting
to
look
at
it.
Our
consultants
created
a
really
great
survey,
which
I
hope
you
all
took,
and
a
lot
of
people
did.
A
We
got
almost
1600
responses
for
the
gap
survey
and
I
think
we
got
150
responses
just
for
the
ada
specific
survey,
they're
still
compiling
all
of
the
information,
but
from
what
we've
seen,
we've
got
a
lot
of
information
that
we
can
work
with,
and
our
goal
is
to
get
a
preliminary
plan
done
sometime
by
late
may,
possibly
by
your
next
meeting
or
early
june,
and
what
we
will
be
doing
with
that
information
is
creating
a
preliminary
plan
that
we
can
show
to
the
public
and
to
our
stakeholders
such
as
you,
so
that
we
can
start
fine-tuning
it.
A
Also
in
the
survey,
we
ask
some
pretty
important
questions
like
how
would
you
feel
about
paying
some
additional
penny
tax
that
would
be
put
towards
our
pedestrian
network,
including
greenways,
and
we've
got
great
feedback
from
that
about?
80
percent
of
the
people
said
that
they
were
in
favor
of
paying
extra
and
the
average
amount
that
people
were
willing
to
pay
in
penny.
A
Tax
was
1.75
pennies,
so
that
will
be
great
information
to
show
council
also
about
80
of
the
responders
were
very
fired
up
about
the
asheville
unpaved
plan
that
we're
working
on,
which
is
the
natural
surface
network
that
we're
trying
to
achieve
with
partners
in
the
city.
A
side
note
about
asheville
unpaved
right
now
is
that
we
just
signed
an
agreement
with
asheville
unpaved,
pisca
sorba
and
connect
buncombe
to
do
a
concept
plan
we'll
be
hiring
a
traditional,
not
a
traditional,
a
professional
trail
builder
called
elevated
trail
designs.
A
To
do
this
concept
plan
for
us
and
cake
graphic
arts
is
going
to
be
making
a
logo
for
asheville
and
page
so
that
we
have
tools
to
be
able
to
do
some
focused
public
engagement
on
the
asheville
uncaved,
the
ada
section
of
our
plan.
We
haven't
done
anything
new
since
the
last
time
we
spoke,
but
I
wanted
to
remind
you
that
the
goal
of
that
plan
is
not
to
create
a
map
that
shows
us
where
we
have
issues
with
our
ada
facilities
in
the
public
right
away.
A
A
A
So
I
know
that
moving
forward
we've
we're
going
to
feel
a
lot
more
confident
about
how
we
address
ada
issues
in
nashville
and
that
that
data
that
I
was
talking
about
that
we
developed
we've,
pretty
much
put
it
into
two
baskets
one
is
for
destination,
so
we
know
where
the
where
people
want
to
go.
The
obvious
ones.
A
I'll
just
list
are
like
grocery
stores,
parks,
schools,
churches,
but
it's
a
very
long
list
and
then
the
other
basket
that
we're
working
with
is
our
equity
data,
so
that
we
can
be
able
to
weigh
those
types
of
issues
in
our
prioritization
and
weight
them
a
little
bit
more
so
that
destination
score
plus
an
equity
score
will
create
that
one
score
that
helps
us
push
our
plan
and
help
us
find
what
our
priority
projects
will
be.
A
Our
mpo
in
the
d.o.t
and
the
second
meeting
was
our
citizen
action
committee,
which
was
more
organizations
that
are
not
in
the
government
realm
and
individuals
who
have
been
great
stakeholders
for
us
and
pretty
much
the
same
information,
and
today
christy
carter
from
tpd
recorded
that
presentation
and
as
soon
as
it
is
available,
we
will
be
putting
it
on
our
project
page.
So
it's
available
to
everyone,
and
I
will
make
sure
that
you
all
get
that
link.
A
So
you
can
see
it
there'll,
be
a
downloadable
version
of
it
too,
because
the
maps,
while
still
cursory,
have
a
ton
of
information
for
those
of
you
that
really
like
to
geek
out
on
that
stuff.
A
And
if,
if
your
may
meeting
seems
to
be
the
best
time
for
us
to
bring
in
our
consultants
to
talk
with
you
in
more
detail
about
this,
we
will,
if
not
it
will
be
june.
Is
my
guess
and
that's
my
update
if
you
have
any
questions.
C
A
B
C
B
Okay.
The
next
item
is
the
bike
share
plan
jessica,
I'm
gonna
kind
of
recap
that.
L
Sure
so
we
quite
it
feels
like
decades
ago,
I'm
sure
to
a
lot
of
folks
that
have
been
around,
but
a
couple
years
back.
There
was
a
great
effort
put
into
creating
a
bike
share
plan
towards
the
end
of
the
creation
of
that
the
city
added
e-scooters
to
that
plan
and
and
then
it
sort
of
everything
sort
of
halted,
because
we
had
a
lot
of
issues
with
e-scooters
going
on
and
it
unfortunately
caused
everything
to
sort
of
grind
to
a
halt.
L
And
so
in
talking
to
the
chair
and
the
vice
chair
at
our
our
pre-agenda
meeting
a
couple
weeks
back,
there
was
an
interest
in
trying
to
get
back
on
the
path
of
of
the
bike
share
piece
of
it
in
particular,
and
so
I
am
not
going
to
really
recap
everything
right
now.
I
wanted
to
provide
all
of
the
the
latest
information
or
the
the
most
recent
information,
including
the
draft
plan,
and
what
was
given
to
the
multimodal
commission
back
in
2019.
L
So
it's
been
quite
a
while,
and
all
I'll
say
is
that
I
encourage
you
guys
to
take
a
look
at
that,
and
then
we
will
work
to
resurrect
this
this
plan
and
I
think
I
think
likely
what
will
happen
is
we'll
focus
again
just
on
the
bike
share
piece.
You
know
there
still
continues
to
be
lots
of
changes
in
the
micro
mobility
world.
L
I
think
if
we
can
get
to
a
place
where
we've
got
a
a
draft
bike
share
plan
and
and
hopefully
be
in
a
position
to
at
least
know
what
we'd
like
may
not
have
the
funding
for
it.
We
do
expect
there
to
be
some
infrastructure
funding
in
the
future,
and
so
the
hope
would
be
that
maybe
we
can
get
to
a
place
where
we'd
have
a
a
chance
at
utilizing.
Some
future
infrastructure
funding
for
it.
L
So
when
you
have
some
time,
I
know
you
guys
all
have
have
busy
lives,
but
take
a
look
at
those
resources
and
we'll
pick
the
conversation
up
again.
M
B
L
Yes,
unfortunately,
in
my
opinion,
yes,
that
is
the
case.
I
I
think
that
if
we
were
to
resurrect
the
e-scooter
conversation,
my
suggestion
would
be
to
have
a
conversation
about
whether
there's
an
opportunity
for
personal
ownership
and
use,
since
that's
really
already
happening
and
separating
business
business
operations
of
e-scooters
versus
you
know
joe
archibald
having
his
own
e-scooter
and
using
it
as
he
wishes.
L
And
so
I
think
I
think,
if
there's
a
desire
to
explore
that
that's
probably
well
I'll
just
say
it
will
definitely
be
less
controversial
than
whether
or
not
we
should
have
bird
and
lime
and
all
of
those
swamping
around
on
our
sidewalks
and
such
that
was
sort
of
the
thing
that
made
everything
grind
to
a
halt.
D
K
Know
on
nmtc
that
weren't
around
for
the
whole
big
discussion
that
we
had
about
by
share
e-scooters
the
whole
bird
lime
fiasco
that
that
happened,
and
I
and
I
saw
maggie
kind
of
being
like
what.
K
I
changes
yeah
try
to
do
the
rule
justice,
but
I
know
that
there
is
essentially
there's
a
ban
on
e-scooters
in
the
city,
and
that
is
personal
business.
No
matter
what,
and
that
has
to
do
and
jessica
can
correct
me.
It's
kind
of
one
of
those
like
they
couldn't
do
a
ban.
That
was
just
private
companies
that
had
to
just
be
a
blanket
none
because
of
you
know
yeah
legalities.
L
B
L
Sure
I
will
probably
be
able
to
give
a
much
more
thorough
update
at
our
next
meeting
on
this,
but
I
just
wanted
to
let
you
guys
know
that
the
american
rescue
plan
act
was
of
course,
passed.
I
think,
probably
about
three
weeks
ago.
At
this
point,
the
city
is
expecting
to
receive
money
and
we're
expecting
to
receive
quite
a
bit
of
money.
L
Some
of
it
is,
you
know,
very
specific,
like
for
transit,
for
example,
there's
also
some
that's
going
to
be
coming
through
cdbg,
which
is
you
know,
housing
and
urban
development
funds,
but
then,
on
top
of
that,
there's
also
local
governments
and
county
governments
are
getting
direct
allocations
from
you
know
for
covid
relief.
L
The
city
expects
to
receive
in
just
that
local
government
kind
of
generic
pot
about
26
million
dollars,
which
is,
I
think,
more
than
they
even
received
in
the
last
several
stimulus
bills,
and
you
know
there
are
restrictions
on
that
and
we're
still
waiting
for
some
further
guidance
from
the
treasury
and
other
agencies
on
on
specific
criteria
or
specific
guidance.
But
what
I
can
tell
you
is
that
it
it
has
to
be
related
to
covet.
L
Either
revenue
loss
that
was
incurred
because
of
covid
or
covet
response
or
impacts
that
that
the
community
felt,
because
from
that
so
you
know
like
we
can,
we
will
probably
I'm
guessing.
The
city
will
first
be
focusing
on
on
offsetting
revenue
losses,
but
then,
outside
of
that,
we
are
going
to
be
looking
at
opportunities
for
what
do
we?
What
to
do
with
whatever
is
remaining
that
can
benefit
the
community
as
it
directly
relates
to
covid
either.
L
You
know,
impacts
that
have
either
been
felt
up
until
now,
or
that
we
continue
to
expect
to
see.
Additionally
in
the
bill,
you
know
they're
they're,
separate
pots
again
for
things
like
rent
relief.
L
You
know
utility
relief,
things
of
that
nature,
so
we're
still
trying
to
get
a
handle
on
the
accumulative
amount
of
funds
and
what
all
of
the
different
pots
will
be
and
what
the
specific
rules
for
each
will
be,
but
we're
all
very
happy
that
we
have
this
coming
to
us
and
then
there's
probably
going
to
be
lots
of
community
conversation
and
council
conversation
about
about
how
those
funds
will
be
spent
to
talk
real,
quick
about
transit.
Specifically,
so
we,
as
you
know,
we
had
cares,
act
money
for
transit
about
3.68
million
dollars.
L
We
have
blown
through
that
already.
We
are
using
savings
that
we
have
from
our
transit
fund
to
cover
to
continue
to
to
spend
related
to
covid,
specifically
on
our
young
transportation
contract.
L
Now
that
we
know
that
we
are
going
to
get
some
money
again
for
transit
and
I'll
talk
about
the
amount
in
a
second
we'll,
we'll
likely
use
what
we
know
we're
going
to
get
to
offset
what
we're,
what
we're
spending
from
our
savings
right
now.
L
So
we
expect
to
get
as
a
region
about
4.25
million
dollars
for
transit
and,
as
in
in
comparison
to
the
cares
act,
our
region
got
about
8.6
million.
The
city
of
asheville
cut
of
that
was
about
3.68
million,
so
the
amount
that
our
region
is
going
to
get
with
this
next
round
is
smaller
4.25
million.
L
There
are
some
important
distinctions
between
this
bill
and
the
cares
act
that
it's
possible
that
the
city's
cut
or
proportion
of
that
regional
allocation
might
be
larger,
and
that
is
something
that
will
be
discussed
and
eventually
decided
on
by
the
metropolitan
planning
organization
board.
So
they,
you
know
they're,
basically
the
clearinghouse,
if
you
will
for
the
federal
transit
funds-
and
we
will
be
meeting
with
all
of
the
organizations
that
are
part
of
the
mpo
to
discuss
how
that
funding
will
be
allocated
for
transit.
L
The
distinction
between
this
current
bill
and
the
cares
act
was
the
karex
bill
for
transit.
It
really.
It
didn't,
have
a
whole
lot
of
rules.
It
said
yes,
this
is
primarily
for
covid,
but
if
you
want
to
spend
it
on
other
stuff,
you
can
for
transit
and
some
of
the
sub
recipient
agencies
like
hendersonville
and
madison,
county
and
haywood
county
that
have
smaller
transit
systems.
L
Some
of
them
shut
down,
some
of
them
just
severely
cut
service.
They
really
didn't
have
a
whole
lot
of
expenses
related
to
covet
and
they
still
don't
and
so
the
the
money
that
they
got
from
the
cares
act
they're
using
to
buy
you
know,
buy
new
buses
and
things
like
that.
L
This
time
around,
it
has
to
be
spent
related
to
covet,
and
it
has
to
be
spent
by
december
31st
of
2024,
and
so
we're
preparing
to
make
an
argument
that
the
city
of
asheville,
which
continues
to
have
significant
expenses
for
transit
related
to
coved,
should
get
a
larger
cut
of
those
those
funds
from
this
coming
up
allocation.
L
And
so
I
just
wanted
to
give
you
guys
a
heads
up
on
that
we'll
be
working
with
our
council
council
liaisons
that
are
on
the
mpo
board
and
we'll
be
having
discussions
with
the
other
transit
agencies
in
our
region
to
to
try
to
come
to
an
agreement
that
the
city
should
get
a
larger
percentage
of
the
next
round
of
funds
for
transit.
Because
of
our
greater
need.
If
you
will.
B
Actually
yeah,
it
sounds
like
there's
a
lot
of
moving
parts
there,
but
yeah.
We
definitely
look
forward
to
the
resolution.
Next
up
is
the
25
mile
per
hour,
speed
limit.
B
D
Yeah,
so
just
real,
quick.
The
reason
why
it's
on
the
agenda,
though,
is
because
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
keep
this
forefront
in
our
mind
that
it's
moving
forward
as
much
as
we
possibly
can
so
it'll
just
stay
on
the
agenda
each
month
until
we,
you
know,
get
progress,
so
we're
not
expecting
always
there
to
be
an
update,
but
we're
going
to
make
sure
that
we
don't
let
this
flip
off
the
agenda.
B
Perfect,
okay,
next
is
we're.
Gonna
go
into
the
committee's
transit
committee.
We
have
our
routine
reports
very
detailed
reports.
Everyone's
checked
out.
Is
there
any
highlights
that
we
want
to
pull
out
of
their
transit
committee?
Folks.
H
We
did
not
have
a
meeting
this
month
with
the
meeting
they
actually
there's
one
set
up
for
next
tuesday,
and
then
they
moved
it
to
april.
So
we'll
have
one
in
two
weeks:
okay,.
B
Greenway
we
we
did
not
meet
in
anticipation
for
an
excellent
meeting.
That's
gonna
happen
and
coming
up
in
a
couple
of
weeks,
a
couple
of
days,
bike,
ped
task
force.
D
Yeah
so
mike
said,
we
had
a
couple
things.
We
talked
about
this
productive
meeting
for
sure
we
talked
about
the
the
new
people
for
bikes
rating
systems,
so
there's
the
league
of
american
priceless
rating
system,
which
we're
a
bronze
level
city
and
now
there's
a
new
rating
system
done
by
people
for
bikes,
which
is
more
of
an
industry,
funded
advocacy
effort
and
we
rank
really
lowly
we're
low
on
it.
D
We
talked
a
lot
about
the
merriman
issue,
which
we
did
here
as
well,
and
then
we
also
talked
about
got
some
gates
of
input
to
the
city
staff
on
the
charlotte
street
proposed
development
near
chestnut.
They
want
to
reconfigure
the
roadway
there
to
include
some
parallel
parking,
and
so
we
were
able
to
give
some
good
advice.
I
think
about
how
that
wasn't
necessarily
a
very
good
idea
since
they
were
proposing
and
why,
specifically,
it
wasn't
very
good
and
if
they
want
to
do
that
type
of
thing,
we
add
some
criteria
in
terms.
B
Excellent
thanks
randy
joe
I'm
planning
cloning.
K
We
didn't
have
a
meeting
this
month.
There
wasn't
anything
on
the
agenda,
so
nothing
there,
although
I
will,
as
randy,
was
mentioning
about
the
charlotte
street
one
and
about
you
know,
parallel
parking
and
that
again
udo
udo.
B
Agreed,
we
have
a
update
from
the
neighborhood
advisory
committee.
J
We
didn't
have
a
march
meeting
we'll
have
our
retreat.
That
was
supposed
to
happen
in
2020
at
our
next
meeting
at
the
end
of
april.
B
Excellent,
we
have
an
attachment
for
the
I-26
aesthetics
committee.
Any
anything
we
want
to
talk
on
that
on
jessica.
B
Perfect,
we
have
a
list
of
projects,
that's
attached
as
normal.
We
have
our
list
of
future
agenda
items.
Please
note
those
if
you
want
something
added
just
you
know,
encourage
encourage
input
and
we'll
have
a
conversation
and
get
something
added
next
meeting
april,
21
same
same
time,
same
channel.
I
Well,
I
guess
I
would
just
say
you
know,
since
we
agreed
to
schedule
that
meeting
with
dot.
It
would
be
awesome
if
we
could
have
that
before
our
next
mmtc
committee
meeting,
so
that
we
could
give
them
an
update
at
that
time.
Since
this
is
a
summer
award
so
jessica
when
you're
chatting
with
the
city
manager's
office.
That
would
be
a
priority.
I
would
request.
B
Great
this
yeah,
it
definitely
sounds
like
that's
going
to
happen.
I
look
forward
to
that
that
information
as
well
thanks
everybody
without
any
other
comment,
we're
adjourned.
Thank.
