From YouTube: Pittsburgh City Council Budget Hearing - 12/10/20
Description
Department of Mobility & Infrastructure
A
Good
morning
and
welcome
back
to
the
pittsburgh
city
council's
budget
hearings.
Today
we
have
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
otherwise
known
as
domi
and
I'm
bobby
wilson,
I'm
the
councilman
for
district
one,
I'm
filling
in
today
for
the
chairman
of
this
of
this
committee,
anthony
coghill
councilman,
anthony
coghill.
He
is
attending
a
family
emergency,
and
so
we
wish
him
all
wish
him
well
and
and
his
family,
and
that
said,
you
know.
B
Yes,
all
right,
thank
you,
councilman.
Thank
you.
The
mission
of
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
is
to
provide
the
physical
mobility
necessary
to
enable
the
social
and
economic
mobility
of
the
people
of
pittsburgh
through
the
management,
design,
improvement
and
operation
of
the
public
right-of-ways.
B
B
The
total
budget
for
the
department
of
mobility
infrastructure
is
seven
million
one
hundred
and
sixteen
thousand
dollars.
That
is
a
decrease
from
what
was
anticipated
in
last
year's
five-year
plan
of
one
million
four
hundred
and
forty
thousand
dollars
or
seventeen
percent
total
full-time
positions.
91.
B
B
B
B
Now
we'll
go
on
to
the
second
six
months
and
that's
the
july
first
anticipated
workforce
reductions
and
remember.
This
is
due
to
the
lack
of
revenue
that
we've
received
in
the
city
of
pittsburgh.
Workforce
reductions,
beginning
july
1st,
would
be
719
000.,
based
on
the
average
salaries
and
benefits
of
the
91
full-time
positions
that
would
equal
the
elimination
of
19
additional
employees.
B
Dummy
has
two
grant
funded
positions
as
well.
The
houns
and
diamond
endowment
has
funded
one
policy
anna's
analyst.
That's
the
same
as
last
year.
The
port
authority
is
funding
a
senior
project
manager
for
the
work
on
the
brt.
The
hillman
foundation
is
funding
for
a
transportation
fellow
that
has
expired
and
that
position
has
been
eliminated.
B
Department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure
has
no
trust
funds,
but
they
do
have
some
revenue
line
items
and
we'll
go
over
very
quickly.
Telecommunication
licensing
is
the
largest
of
those
there's
approximately
1.2
million
dollars
similar
to
last
year's
and
that
change
of
just
seven
thousand
dollars
there.
Valet
licensing
stays
about
the
same
around
eleven
thousand
dollars.
Excavations
is
reduced
and
most
likely,
due
to
the
lack
of
a
little
less
work,
399
000
from
643
in
the
2020
budget.
B
Machinery
equipment
is
the
other
larger
line
item
and
that
amount
increases
twenty
seven
percent
or
sixty
five
thousand
dollars
from
two
forty
six
to
three
eleven,
the
other
line
items
there
are
encroachments,
smaller
amounts
of
money,
seventeen
thousand
dollars
and
for
encroachments
on
bridges.
Twenty
six
thousand
dollars
actually
will
increase.
There
total
amount
difference
is
a
minor
increase
of
thirty
thousand
seven
hundred
twenty
nine
dollars,
and
next
we're
going
to
switch
over
to
the
capital
budget,
which
domi
has
a
large
percentage.
B
Approximately
69
percent
of
the
capital
budget
falls
under
domi,
the
other
large
chunk
we
spoke
about
the
other
day
and
that
was
department
of
public
works
facilities,
so
under
the
department
of
mobility
and
infrastructure,
I
will
just
stick
to
the
I
I'm
sorry.
I
misspoke
on
that.
A
department
of
instructure
is
a
total
of
60,
approximately
69
million
dollars
in
projects.
That's
55
of
125
million
dollar
capital
budget.
B
We
have
we're
planning
on
taking
a
bond
issue
out
next
year,
55
million
dollars.
That
would
be
they.
They
will
get
69
of
that
55
million
dollars
in
bond
or
approximately
38
million
dollars.
There
are
several
different
projects
there,
I'm
not
going
to
go
through
each
one
unless
the
members
would
like
to
do
that,
but
they
can
be
found
within
the
within
the
capital
budget
which
was
attached.
A
C
I
do
have
a
presentation,
so
let
me
get
to
that
and
I'll
say
that
we
will
post
this
on
our
department
website
as
well,
and
I
believe
you'll
probably
post
it
on
the
council
website.
So
apologies
for
length,
but
just
want
to
give
a
summary
of
sort
of
you
know
what
what
we
accomplished
in
2020
and
what
we're
looking
forward
to.
Even
in
a
somewhat
austere
year
of
2021
bill,
went
over
our
our
general
organization.
C
We
have
three
bureaus.
We
also
have
three
divisions,
I'm
sorry,
four
divisions
within
that.
So
we
have
the
project,
design
and
delivery
bureau,
which
is
our
major
capital
projects,
engineering,
bridges
and
streets.
We
also
do
construction,
inspection
of
other
large-scale
projects
like
the
bigelow
boulevard
project,
that's
underway
in
oakland.
C
The
right-of-way
permitting
division
is
beneath
the
policy
planning
and
permitting,
but
but
represents
a
substantial
body
of
work
there,
that's
overseen
by
angie
martinez
and
then
the
paving
division
that
does
our
asphalt
resurfacing,
overseen
by
john
klinger.
We
also
have
a
fiscal,
because
we
have
a
complex
fiscal
outlook
and
contracting
with
fiscal
and
contracting
unit.
C
C
But
no
household
needs
to
spend
more
than
45
percent
of
income
on
housing
and
transportation,
and
that's
for
every
income
quintile
across
our
city.
We
do
know
that
housing
costs
are
rising,
so
it's
incumbent
on
our
department
to
really
drive
down
the
other
side
of
that
equation,
which
is
the
transportation
cost
so
that
we
can
remain
an
affordable
city
and
and
really
provide
a
backstop
against
displacement
and,
finally,
that
our
streets
reflect
the
values
and
pride
of
our
city
and
the
pride
of
the
people
of
our
department.
We
have.
C
We
have
fabulous
staff
just
in
terms
of
the
assets
that
that
fall
to
our
department,
to
maintain.
We
have
over
a
thousand
linear
miles
of
street
that
are
account
for
about
2500
lane
miles
of
street,
but
we
have
tens
of
thousands
of
pavement
markings
that
need
to
be
maintained.
We
have
about
675
sets
of
steps
covering
23
miles.
C
C
C
C
We
addressed
23
concrete
brick
and
blockstone
streets
painted
more
than
300
miles
of
center
lines
and
marked
3600
crosswalks.
Just
this
year
signal
retiming
45
intersections
completed
major
maintenance
on
eight
bridges,
an
advanced
design
for
five
more,
and
we
looked
at
landslide
mitigation
at
15
locations.
That's
both
for
construction
as
well
as
design
of
those
locations.
C
C
In
the
safety
front,
we
did
launch
pittsburgh's
very
first
safe
routes
to
school
program,
even
in
a
year
when
most
students
are
learning
from
home,
but
we've
done
great
work
with
four
inaugural
champion
school
partners.
In
every
quadrant
of
the
city,
we've
completed
12
traffic
calming
projects
and
collected
data
for
22
more
locations
where
we've
received
requests.
C
C
So
among
these
40th
and
penn,
which
was
a
very
problematic
intersection
completed
that
may
tide
street
was
a
rapid
response
project
our
safe
routes
to
school
chateau
street,
which
has
long
been
a
very
dangerous
corridor
for
residents.
There
conducted
a
road
diet
and
rapid
flash
rectangular
pedestrian
beacons
at
that
uncontrolled
location
marshall
avenue,
with
partners
at
healthy
ride
and
by
pittsburgh.
We've
advanced
the
move
forward,
pgh
campaign,
which
is
really
a
safety
campaign
to
share
the
road
in
terms
of
complete
streets.
C
We
completed
the
bike
plus
master
plan.
That's
a
10
year,
bicycle
master
plan,
the
last
one
that
the
city
had
was
completed
in
1999,
so
we
were
a
little
bit
overdue
for
that.
That
was
a
great
accomplishment,
really
excited,
and
then
we
moved
directly
into
implementation
after
completing
that
plan
and
we've
completed
13
miles
of
all
ages
and
abilities
bike
plus
network
improvements,
we
introduced
this
new
typology
of
ways
into
our
city
that
are
low,
stress,
non-motorized,
shared
street
improvements.
C
C
The
washington
boulevard,
trail
connections,
bus
shelter,
improvements
as
far
as
major
projects,
you
might
recall
the
10th
street
sinkhole.
That
was
an
exciting
project
that
is
now
fixed
and
addressed,
was
a
massive
downtown
improvement
that
we
worked
together
with
all
of
the
utilities
and
principally
pwsa,
to
really
address
that
very,
very
complex
project
implemented
phase
one
of
the
smallmouth
street
streetscape
improvements.
C
C
We
completed
the
gap
to
the
point
bicycle
connection
through
downtown
we've
completed
the
the
top
deck
of
the
I
579
cap
project
in
lower
hill.
That's
a
massive
transformative
project.
There
we've
completed
design
and
we'll
soon
begin
construction
of
the
allegheny
circle,
conversion
sort
of
undoing
some
of
the
perhaps
unfortunate
decisions
of
the
urban
renewal
era,
and
we
have
substantial
completion
of
the
vista
street
stuff.
So
again,
just
some
images
of
that
duck
hollow
bridge
small
men
completely
transformed
from
from
what
it
was
this
time.
C
C
You
know
in
the
midst
of
this
pandemic,
keeping
those
workers
safe
continuing
to
deliver
for
for
the
people
of
the
city.
My
hat
is
off
to
them
phenomenal
people
and-
and
I
would
be
remiss
not
to
really
give
a
shout
out
to
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance
who
who
really
pulled
that
off
in
unbelievable
time.
C
You
know
round
of
applause
for
everybody.
That
was
not
an
easy
thing.
We
then
had
to
move
to
the
to
the
impacts
that
this
was
having
on
our
residential
districts
on
our
commercial
district,
and
so
we
rapidly
stood
up
a
completely
a
coveted
rapid
response
task
force.
We
developed
this
policy
around
streeteries
that
allowed
our
restaurants
to
spill
out
into
the
adjacent
public
space
in
a
safe
and
controlled
way.
We
developed
neighborhood
slow
street
program.
C
We
developed
a
new
curbside
pickup
program,
so
we've
already
implemented
55
streeteries
and
then
helped
them
into
the
winterization,
because
now
it's
cold
out
there,
we've
launched
40
neighborhood
slow
streets
really
with
many
accolades
from
our
residents,
who
want
a
safe
place
to
get
out
for
physical
activity.
During
these
sort
of
sheltering
place
period,
we
initiated
a
new
autonomous
vehicle
engagement
program
and
brought
on
an
autonomous
vehicle
policy
specialist
to
really
bring
in
those
critical
stakeholders
have
done
great
work
there
as
the
pennsylvania
legislatures
thrown
some
curveballs.
C
Our
way
lately
responding
to
that,
we
did
take
our
permitting
online
to
the
one
stop
pgh
system.
That
was
no
small
feat
to
train
our
staff
in
a
remote
environment,
to
train
our
customers
in
a
remote
environment
to
adapt
to
that
updated.
The
city,
right-of-way
policy
manual.
We
established
new
policies
and
fees
for
the
small
cell
antennas
for
for
wireless
broadband
connectivity
in
our
city,
we've
issued
more
than
thirteen
thousand
right
away
permits
to
the
tune
of
bill.
C
How
do
we
need
to
change
our
transportation
system?
In
response
to
that?
We
really
need
to
you
know.
My
department
has
been
working
to
to
really
you
know,
face
head
on
the
racial
inequities
and
the
impact
that
the
transportation
system
has
on
that
and
deliberately
work
toward
mobility,
justice
and
really
improving
access
to
opportunity
for
some
of
our
communities
that
have
been
left
behind
to
redress
sort
of
the
climate
impacts
and
other
kinds
of
things
that
adversely
and
unequally
impact
our
communities
of
color.
C
You
know
the
scientists
tell
us.
We
have
nine
years
left
to
make
a
dramatic
change
in
climate-related
emissions,
so
we
really
there's
no
time
to
lose.
We
have
to
press
hard
in
really
making
some
of
those
climate
reduction
investments
for
the
sake
of
our
planet,
for
the
sake
of
our
kids.
For
the
sake
of
those
that
are
coming
behind
us,
there's
no
time
to
lose,
it
really
is
an
imperative.
At
this
point,
we
need
to
reimagine
the
structures
and
approaches
for
for
transportation,
funding
and
infrastructure
funding.
C
Our
funding
investments
are
not
keeping
up
with
the
need.
That's
at
a
national
level
at
a
state
level.
At
a
local
level,
we
need
to
kind
of
turn
our
attention
to
how
we're
really
going
to
fund
these,
and
part
of
that
is
growing
the
city.
And
so
what
is
the
role
of
this
department
in
really
supporting
population
and
job
growth,
so
that
we
can
have
some
of
those
revenues
to
reinvest
and
also
critically
important,
always
is
looking
inwardly
to
our
department
to
cultivate
a
world-class
department?
And
really,
you
know,
support
our
staff,
retain
our
staff.
C
We
have
some
of
the
best
staff
in
the
nation
and
we
want
to
keep
them
in
service
to
the
city.
They
do
it
for
love,
not
money,
and
we
really
need
to
appreciate
that
work.
We
work
still
across
these
areas
of
safety,
accessibility,
adaptability
and
resiliency
preservation
and
our
internal
core
capacities
on
the
safety
front.
2021
will
be
doing
a
number
of
intersection
improvements,
a
number
of
corridor
safety
improvements,
including
liberty,
avenue,
looking
at
west
liberty
to
address
some
some
long-term
safety
issues.
There
beechwood
boulevard,
shady
avenue.
C
As
we
said,
we
have
a
long
list
of
traffic
calming
improvements
that
we're
looking
to
address
across
the
city.
We've
got
a
lot
of
the
bike
plan
plus
plan
implementation.
This
is
for
safety
of
all
users
of
the
street.
It
is
a
safety
initiative.
More
than
anything
else,
we
do
not
want
to
see
people
killed
on
our
streets,
and
then
we
have
a
pedestrian
safety
action
plan
that
we'll
be
pursuing
on
access
and
reliability.
C
Four
other
signal:
enhancements,
city-wide,
distributed
looking
to
move
toward
construction,
the
beginning
phases
of
construction
of
the
bus,
rapid
transit
project
with
our
partners
at
the
port
authority;
mobility
hub
deployment,
so
that
we
can
really
get
those
services
out
those
multimodal
services
to
our
communities.
We're
working
with
healthy
ride
on
the
on
converting
the
bike
share
to
a
pedal
assist
program
which
I
personally
am
extremely
excited
about
these
hills
or
something
else
getting
a
little
bit
of
juice.
To
help
bike
up
those
hills
would
be
excellent.
C
Some
of
the
smartest
signals
in
the
world
we'll
be
implementing
those
this
coming
year,
we'll
be
doing
an
intelligent
transportation
system
network
plan
that
we're
excited
about
we'll,
be
working
with
the
office
of
resiliency
on
electric
vehicle
charging
to
support
that
we'll
be
furthering
the
autonomous
vehicle
policy
development
with
our
stakeholders.
There
number
of
different
green
infrastructure
collaborations
that
we'll
be
working
on
the
recently
announced
mount
washington
slope
stabilization
project,
which
we're
also
incredibly
excited
about
to
to
get
ahead
of
that
potential
risk.
There.
C
Wireless
broadband
management
really
working
toward
digital
equity
with
our
partners
at
imp
led
street
light
conversion
on
the
preservation
front.
Again
the
street
resurfacing
program.
We
have
a
raft
of
bridge
projects
which
is
super
exciting.
I
won't
let's
go
through
this
list,
but
our
bridge
very
small
bridge
group
will
be
very
busy
this
year
building
and
designing
large-scale
bridges
across
the
city.
A
number
of
additional
signal
projects
that
will
work
on
some
elevated
sidewalk
stabilization.
C
As
I
said,
really,
you
know
really
working
on
appreciating
this
tremendous
amazing,
talented
staff
that
we
have
supporting
them
with
staff
development,
really
enhancing
and
expanding
our
planning
function,
which
helps
make
everything
else.
We
do
much
more
efficient
if
we
are
able
to
collaborate
with
the
public
ahead
of
time
and
then
move
toward
an
implementation
that
achieves
those
goals,
process
improvements
trying
to
trying
to
work
smarter,
because
we
really
can't
work
harder.
C
I
will
say
that
the
dhomi
staff,
every
single
one
of
them,
is
really
you
know
putting
in
120
we've
put
out
more
projects
in
2020
during
the
pandemic
than
we
have
since
the
formation
of
the
department.
So
these
folks
they're
they're
exhausted,
and
they
should
because
they've
been
working
really
incredibly
hard,
we'll
put
out
a
policy
compendium
and
standard
operating
procedures
to
sort
of
make
it
more
predictable
and
legible,
both
internally
and
externally,
and
then
we'll
be
working
on
performance
and
staff
development
plans.
So
sorry
about
that
that
was
a
long
list.
A
Thank
you
director
and
for
the
record
we
were
joined
by
councilwoman,
deborah
gross
before
the
presentation
started,
so
welcome
and
so
director
before
I
turn
it
over
to
members.
Can
you
just
I
know
you've
been.
You
know
talking
all
the
great
work
that
your
staff
does.
Could
you
please
introduce
them
for
us.
C
C
And
let
me
see
if
angie
martinez
did
you
get
on
angie
angie
martinez
may
not
be
on.
She
leads
our
permitting
office
she's,
also
acting
as
the
head
of
policy
planning
and
permitting,
because
our
assistant
director
kim
lucas
just
welcomed
her
first
child
a
couple
weeks
ago.
So
we
hope
she's
not
watching
this,
and
I
want
to
recognize
michael
malek
who's
currently
serving
as
our
acting
municipal
traffic
engineer.
A
E
E
We
get
those
questions
a
lot,
but
I
think
it's
a
credit
that
you
guys
are
able
to
do
that
and
they're
coming
up
a
lot
faster
than
they
they
ever
were
before,
and
you
know
even
the
safe
street
sign
I'm
seeing
people
based
on
what
you
have
done,
slowing
down
and
especially
in
our
neighborhoods,
because
a
lot
of
people
use
them
as
cut-throughs
and
it
creates
a
huge
problem.
So
a
credit
to
you
and
your
vision.
There
100,
of
course
my
talk
is
going
to
mostly
be
around
the
mon
oakland
connector.
E
Unfortunately,
we
see
another
four
million
dollars
and
there's
already
seven
in
there
and
it's
a
project
that,
unfortunately,
I
think
you
guys
were
stuck
with
opposed
to
a
vision
of
it.
Nobody
has
to
answer
or
acknowledge
that,
but
that's
my
belief
and
I'm
gonna
stick
by
it.
So,
in
moving
forward,
we
had
41
million
set
aside.
It
was
cut
down
to
16
for
pwsa.
E
Now
that
was
stormwater
so
this
year
again,
there's
another
4
million
set
aside
for
this
project
with
no
line
items
in
the
budget.
So
I
believe
the
only
project
that
my
community
actually
likes
is
a
walking
trail
in
sylvan
avenue
and
a
connector
underneath
the
railroad
line
for
a
trail
into
schenley
park.
E
So
I
don't
know
if
I
have
the
votes,
but
I
think
you
know
in
looking
at
that
project
and
there's
already
seven
million
set
aside.
I
think
we
need
to
focus
on
other
things
this
year,
so
we
are
going
to
put
these
amendments
forward
again,
not
sure
I
have
any
votes
on
council,
but
I
think
we
need
to
just
put
money
in
those
types
of
projects
opposed
to
a
bus
for
13
people
to
buildings
that
aren't
going
to
be
built
for
an
extended
period
of
time.
E
So
that's
sort
of
where
I
wanted
to
go.
I
mean
there's
other
great
projects
we
can
amend
to
you
know
I
know,
avenues
of
hope
is
a
big
project
and
that
would
actually
support
the
hazelwood
business
district
as
well.
So
I'm
going
to
put
those
amendments
forward
again,
nothing
against
you
or
your
staff.
I
just
think
now
is
not
the
time
to
focus
on
that
type
of
road.
E
E
Not
sure
I
have
the
votes
on
council,
but
I
just
think
that's
a
better
use
of
those
funds
this
year,
given
that
there's
already
money
set
aside
for
it.
So
again,
thank
you
for
all
that
stuff
that
you
guys
have
done
on
safe
streets.
I
mean
I've
been
running
in
the
streets
because
you
know
there's
not
much
else
to
do,
but
I
think
you
know
what
you've
done
with
those
intersections
is
great.
E
I'll,
listen
to
I
think
councilman
rose
also
has
some
questions,
but
just
you
know
on
the
mon
oakland
connector,
that's
kind
of
where
I
think
we
need
to
push
at
this
time,
but
I
think
all
the
other
work
that
you
guys
have
done
has
really
made
a
huge
improvement
in
our
street
system.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
I'll
pass
it
off
back
to
the
chair
and
bobby.
Thank
you
for
jumping
in
and
sharing
as
well.
I
know
you
know
sometimes
different
schedules
happen,
but
thank
you
for
doing
this.
F
I
just
want
to
emphasize
how
I
heard
the
director
saying
that
you
all
are
exhausted
and
you
were
there
throughout
this
entire
year,
when
my
district
was
asking
you
questions
asking
you
for
another
meeting,
asking
you
for
more
changes
to
their
streets,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
on
behalf
of
my
constituents.
Thank
you
as
well.
Well
done!
Well
appreciated.
F
I
do
want
to
note
that
we
had
so
many
of
these
deployments
were
about
keeping
constituents
safe
while
they
were
outdoors,
and
it
really
shows
right
so
that
people
are
able
to
get
out
of
the
house
get
the
exercise
they
need.
Even
from
the
beginning
of
the
pandemic,
our
own
health
director
for
pennsylvania
was
saying,
be
safe,
stay
socially
distanced,
but
stay
active
like
get
outside
get
some
fresh
air.
You
know
keep
healthy.
F
F
We
never
expected
them
to
be
home
so
long
and
they
need
to
be
active
to
be
well
to
be
mentally
well
and
to
like
kind
of
work
off
their
think
stress
or
any
anxiety
that
they're
feeling
I
mean
it
really.
Domey
has
played
a
really
big
part
in
that.
So
again,
I'm
really
heartfelt.
Thank
you
in
that
presentation
was
blew
me
away
director.
You
do
so
much
it's
really.
I
remember
when
you
had.
You
know
there
were
two
people
in
domey.
F
F
Everyone
knows,
my
district
of
eight
neighborhoods
has
undergone
rapid
change,
but
that
means
that
people's
journeys
and
pathways
have
changed.
You
know
where
there
used
to
be
schools,
there
aren't
schools
or
there
are
schools
where
there
didn't
used
to
be
schools,
or
there
are
main
street
destinations
where
that
had
been
vacant
for
years
and
now
have
destinations,
even
in.
F
All
of
that
have
all
fit
together,
and
I
definitely
want
to
say
that
district
7
also
suffers
from
the
residential
streets
being
used
as
cut-throughs,
so
people
have
their
phones
in
their
hand
and
their
apps
in
their
hand,
telling
them
to
drive
on
streets
that
they
maybe
never
knew
existed
before,
and
I
know
that
you've
been
trying
to
take
that
tangled
knot
apart.
So
whether
it's
people
going
55
miles
an
hour
on
a
highland
park
residential
street
that
has
tons
of
kids
on
it,
it
got
speed
humps.
F
We
don't
have
all
the
solutions
but
you're
working
on
it,
and
I
just
want
the
public
to
hear
that
that
you
have
engineers
you
have
engineers
and
they
find
solutions
to
problems.
And
six
years
ago
the
city
had
one
traffic
engineer
for
the
entire
city
of
pittsburgh,
and
when
I
had
that
meeting
with
the
mayor
in
2014
that
we
weren't
able
to
do
any
traffic
calming,
I
said
I,
my
district
can't
live
with
one
ninth
of
a
traffic
engineer.
F
People
are
going
to
die
right.
People
are
going
to
get
so.
I
really
appreciate
your
vision
and
your
your
mission
that
you
started
with
in
the
slide
presentation.
I
agree
with
every
one
of
the
department
schools,
that's
kind
of
20,
minute
neighborhoods,
so
trying
access
to
food
is
so
important.
We
know
that
the
cost
burdens
on
a
lot
of
our
households,
food
and
housing
are
neck
and
neck,
and
so
that's
it's
a
really
important
food
in
transportation.
There's
this
kind
of
three
or
four
leg:
stool
of
cost
burdens
on
households.
F
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that.
How
many
engineers
do
you
actually
have?
Now?
I
see
this.
The
kind
of
numbers
in
the
summary
on
my
screen
from
mr
urbanic,
but
I'm
not
sure
I
don't
have
the
full
budget
in
front
of
me
because
I'm
not
sitting
at
the
council
desk
with
my
giant
budget
like
I
usually
am
yeah.
C
Professional
staff,
so
among
the
planners,
the
designers
and
the
engineers
and
that's
you
know,
some
of
them
are
much
more
junior
and
so
they're
working
under
the
tutelage
of
the
the
senior
engineers
we
have
I'd
have
to
go
back
and
and
look.
I
think
that
we
have
only
five,
maybe
six
professional
engineers
that
actually
have
the
pe
certification.
F
So
I
want
to
thank
you.
I
get.
We
manage
those
complaints,
a
lot
as
council
offices,
but
I
don't
really
hear
them
about
domi
projects.
So
there's
there's
been
a
visible
improvement
on
on
your
own
projects
and
then
on
again
development
projects.
Everybody
knows
by
now
that
district,
seven
with
the
state
neighborhoods,
has
seen
a
massive
now
amount
of
large
private
development
projects.
F
Those
protected
jersey
barriers
to
allow
pedestrian
right-of-way
has
been
huge.
My
entire
first
year
in
office
in
2014
there
was
a
construction
project
that
just
was
slow
and
on
bon
boulevard.
People
had
to
cross
like
blocks
out
to
get
around
the
sidewalk
closure
that
stayed
closed
forever.
I
mean
it
stayed
closed
for
almost
a
year,
and
that
doesn't
happen
anymore,
so
think
that's
just
those
kinds
of
things
are
transformative
for
neighborhood
life,
for
people's
being
able
to
manage
through
this
time,
and
that's
also
something
that
your
your
office
has
done.
So
I
really
appreciate
that.
F
I
do
want
to
say
that
I'm
a
little
concerned
about
the
volume,
as
we
all
are,
of
landslides
that
has
all
been
put
on
your
plate,
and
I
I
I
ponder
that,
sometimes
because
it's
not
in
the
right
of
way,
but
you
have
the
engineers
I'm
assuming
and
the
staff.
Is
that
what
I'm
hearing
do
you
want
to
speak
to
that?
A
minute
to
you
know,
I
want
to
give
you
some
time
to
talk
about
that,
and
it's
also
like
yeah.
C
Yeah
I
want
to
just
give
eric.
I
don't
want
to
be
on
the
spot,
but
want
to
give
him
an
opportunity
to
speak
if
he
wants
to.
But
yes,
the
landslides
are
by
and
large
outside
of
the
right
of
way,
but
we
do
have
the
geotechnical
expertise,
the
engineering,
expertise
and-
and
so
are
the
department
kind
of
best
suited
to
immediately
respond
to
those.
But
we
do
it
in
support
of
some
of
our
other
departments
eric.
You
don't
have
to
speak
if
you
don't
want
to,
but
if
you.
D
Wish
that's?
Okay,
no
it's
true
and
the
ones
that
do
affect
the
roadway.
The
right-of-way
are
the
most
clear
that
domi
has.
You
know
a
a
reason
to
be
involved.
But
of
course,
as
you
said,
we
do
have
the
engineers
so
we're
happy
to
help
out
other
departments
as
needed.
You
know,
obviously
the
landslides
have
to
be
dealt
with
and
they
take
a
lot
of
staff
time
and
they
take
a
lot
of
money
and
you
know
we
are
certainly
working.
D
You
know
we
got
hit
in
2018
with
all
that
rain
and
all
those
slides
and
I
do
feel
like
we
are
digging
out
of
that
hole
and
as
we
are
able
to
do
that,
that
will
allow
us
to
get
a
little
bit
ahead.
So
we
can
be
less
reactionary
and
you
know
attempt
to
to
tackle
things
in
a
more
proactive
manner,
but
it
always
will
be.
D
F
So
I
I
when
I
entered
council
there
were
members
who
had
served
for
a
long
time
who
were
remembered
that
there
used
to
be
a
kind
of
department
of
engineering
and
that
we
didn't
have
one
anymore
and
that
maybe
it
was
time
for
a
consolidation
or
realignment
of
those
capacities,
so
not
anything
that
we're
concerned
about
right
now
in
2021,
but
there
I
always
try
to
re-em
emphasize
that.
Another
thing
I
learned
at
pwsa
is
that
this
is
not
maintenance
anymore
right.
F
F
That's
the
project
and
that's
a
different
set
of
people,
resources,
skills
and
budgetary
kind
of
you
know
allocations
than
just
saying
like
well,
you
know
what
needs
to
be
replaced
this
year
on
it,
because
we
had.
We
just
didn't
do
our
replacement
cycle.
You
know
we
say
it
really
well
about
streets,
that
you
know
we
hadn't
kept
up
with
our
100
miles
a
year
and
they
only
last
10
years.
Well,
the
same
thing's,
true
for
you
know
water
lines.
F
F
So
I
really
appreciate
you
kind
of
aligning
your
work
with
that
kind
of
vision.
I've
been
kind
of
consistently
just
asking
each
director
how
the
budget
decreases
that
they
see
in
the
first
six
months
of
the
year
like
this
is
as
of
january
1st.
It's
the
way,
I'm
reading
the
memo.
That's
in
front
of
me
from
mr
bannock,
a
reduction
of
one
of
four
project
engineers,
one
of
five
staff
engineers,
one
of
two
policy
analysts,
one
of
four
laborers
and
that's
kind
of
all.
F
C
So
we
can
be
more
efficient
if
we're
able
to
successfully
really
retain
the
staff
that
we
have
and
invest
in
staff
retention,
rather
than
needing
to
navigate
the
kind
of
high
rates
of
turnover
that,
unfortunately,
again
are
not
uncommon
in
domi.
Given
some
of
these
other
conditions
that
we
have
to
to
work
with,
so
that's
a
long
way.
It's
you
know
any
cut
is
is
not
one
that
we
relish.
We
will
manage
through
these
cuts
to
continue
to
deliver
the
the
projects
on
the
capital
budget.
C
C
That
may
mean
reconsolidating
some
of
the
activities
of
domi
to
to
you
know
it
back
into
partnership
with
similarly
positioned
divisions
in
dpw.
It
may
mean
again
needing
to
have
project
delivery
reductions
because
of
the
staff
that
would
be
there.
So
in
the
near
term,
we
will
let
whether
these
these
the
reduction
of
these
five
positions.
C
One
of
them,
is
our
communications
position,
which
is
unfortunate
because
it
does.
I
realize
that,
at
times,
domi
is
hard
to
reach
and
get
like.
You
know,
rapid
responsiveness
from,
and
that
would
have
been
a
great
position.
But
to
do
that,
you
know
the
systems.
Analyst
position
was
the
position
that
was
going
to
assist
with
computronix
as
well
as
assist
with
our
other
asset
management
programs
or
electronic
management
programs.
That
would
again
be
really
critical
to
helping
us
work
smarter.
C
If
we
can't
work
harder
to
have
better
functioning
systems,
that
would
have
been
a
very
valuable
position,
we're
having
to
lean
on
the
department
of
innovation
and
performance.
So,
with
that
gap
being
cut
we're
looking
to
our
fellow
department
who
is
also
experiencing
cuts,
so
you
know
we'll
just
have
to
exercise
some
degree
of
patience,
but
we'll
we'll
be
okay
with
these
cuts,
but
the
deeper
cuts
should
we
not
get
federal
assistance
or
recovery
will
be
much
more
profound
and
disruptive.
C
F
It's
distressing,
I'm
sure,
if
you're
the
person
who
lives
on
el
paso
street,
to
hear
that
you
know
a
lack
of
staffing
may
slow
down
a
landslide
stabilization
project.
Right
I
mean
that
was
what
gonna
be
one
of
my
questions.
We
know
we
try.
I
try
not
to
focus
just
on
my
own
district
and
these
are
budget
hearings,
but
the
people
in
el
paso
are
watching
their
street
right
have
been
actually
watching
their
street
collapse
repeatedly
for
decades
like
well.
F
Since
I
was
off
before
I
was
in
office,
there
were
landslides
under
that
section
of
road
and
neighbors
suing
neighbors
for
dirt.
That
was
in
their
backyard
on
chislett
and
and
so
it's
been
going
on
and
on
and
on
and
now
the
road's
gone
and
they
need
it
rebuilt.
So
is
that
at
risk
of
stalling,
I
have
to
just
ask
on
behalf
of
the
residents
of
el
paso
for
sure.
C
I
mean
I
to
be
honest.
I
guess
I
would
have
to
say.
Yes,
I
mean
across
the
board
with
staff
reductions.
There
would
be
a
delay
in
project
delivery
because
we
do
have
a
raft
of
projects,
so
we
would
need
to
prioritize
those
you
know
to
deal
with.
You
know
triage,
but
as
you
noted,
you
know,
if
that
then
trips
us
into
you,
know
further
deferred
maintenance.
You
know
another
another
critical
project
in
your
district
is
the
28th
street
bridge.
You
know,
does
that
mean
you
know
at
some
point.
C
C
You
know
choice
of
triaging
projects
if
there,
if
we
do
experience
that
more
dramatic
staff
reduction
again
for
now
it
it
is
tight.
It
has
been
tight.
This
you
know.
As
I
mentioned,
the
staff
are
carrying
really
more
than
is
is
fair
to
ask
of
them,
but
they
carry
it
heroically
now,
they'll
continue
to
move
forward
on
all
of
those.
C
F
So
that's
concerning
right
and
I'm
gonna.
You
know
I'm
we're,
as
you
know,
because
you
get
the
inquiries
as
well.
People
are
very
upset
about
not
you
know
watching
that
road
not
just
collapse,
but
then
it's
getting
closer
and
closer
to
their
own
property
right
and
let
alone
the
people
on
the
properties
below
it
as
well.
There's
a
map
that
I
forwarded
to
pwsa
and
to
city
leaders
before
this
el
paso
collapse
that
you
have
everybody
has
got
it
somewhere
in
their
emails.
F
I've
emailed
it
so
many
times
of
my
office,
just
drawing
in
pencils
on
a
you
know,
eight
and
a
half
by
eleven
piece
of
paper
that
we
zoomed
in
on
a
map-
and
I
said
just
just
pulled
us
five
years
of
constituent
concerns
because
like
right
around
the
bend
from
it,
I've
got
you
know.
Someone
just
uphill
from
the
landslide.
Someone's
basement
is
getting
flooded
from
the
water.
That's
coming
off
of
kelly
field
in
staten
heights,
and
so
there
are
these
multiple
infrastructure
collapses.
F
That
I
would
I
I
keep
hoping
we'll
do
better
at
across
silos
and
across
authorities,
see
how
you
know:
broken
water
mains
flooded.
Basements,
you
know
sewers
that
aren't
working
and
overflowing
parks,
fields
and
runoff
on
the
streets
are
causing
the
problems
and
we
can
solve
them
before
the
problems
like
a
collapsed
road
happen,
and
so
that
worries
me
about
the
computonics
position,
because
I
we
keep
waiting
to
have
the
tools
I
used
to
press
director
kennedy
mark
kennedy
at
pli
about
this.
When
is
it
going
to
be
up?
F
What
is
it
going
to
be
up
and
she
was
trying
to
the
software
that
I
can't
remember
that
we
base
we
eventually
abandoned,
that
was
supposed
to
coordinate
with
pwsa,
and
so
we've
just
had
this
conversation
with
the
imp
about
how
we're
going
to
get
on.
I
think
both
computronix
and
the
esri
cloud-based
gis
platform
right
that
I'm
enthusiastic
to
budget
for,
but
if
you
don't
have
a
staff
person
to
use
it.
What
good
is
it?
C
F
I'm
trying
to
find
that
map.
Actually,
I
just
asked
my
staff
if
they
can
find
it,
because
it's
so
sad
that
we
have
literally
in
pencil
a
bunch
of
dots
all
over
a
piece
of
paper
with,
like
you
know
the
listing
of
like
well,
there
was
a
sinkhole
here
and
a
flood
there,
and
you
know
you
know
water
problems
here
and
water
problems.
There
kind
of
all
surrounding
the
el
paso
collapse
and.
F
What
you
don't
want
to
see
right
is
either
due
to
a
lack
of
capacity
or
a
lack
of
kind
of
his
direct
historical
memory.
Right
we've
got
if
we
have
turnover
at
departments.
Certainly
pwc
had
his
problem
kind
of
under
viola,
purging,
a
lot
of
staff,
and
so
institutional
memory
goes
out
the
door
and
then
hiring
new.
They
don't
remember
that
that
happened
10
years
ago.
F
How
do
you
not
know
about
it
right
and
so,
and
we
try
to
help
with
sharing
that
institutional
memory
and
pulling
together
all
of
those
things.
But
this
is
what
your
department
has
authority
over,
especially
and
utility
coordination
and,
as
I
just
said,
we're
kind
of
rebuilding
the
city
and
all
of
these.
It's
not
always
you
it's
people's
gas
coming
by
a
year
after
we
did
lead
water
service,
land
replacements
and
then
deciding
that
they
suddenly
noticed
that
that
was
a
100
year
old
gas
line.
F
Under
the
same
street,
so
that's
frustrating
and
a
little
bit.
This
is
a
little
bit.
I'm
worried
about
being
pennywise
and
pound
foolish
right.
If
we
don't
staff
you
with
the
people
who
can
better
coordinate
using
the
esri
platform
and
the
computronix
and
catch
these
things
before
they
happen,
we
could
be
paying
for
the
same.
F
So
let's
not
do
that
and
please
be
clear
to
us
at
council
what
you
need
so
that
you,
because
you
have
the
authority,
but
you
can't
implement
it.
Unless
we
give
you
the
right
resources
right
and
you
need-
and
that's
what
I
trust
you
to
know
what
you
need
and
then
it's
on
it's
on
us
at
city
council
to
fill
those
needs,
because
again,
this
is
not
maintenance.
F
This
is
not
like
it's
just
a
predictable
10-year
cycle,
right,
everything's,
too
old
and
collapsing,
and
so
there's
so
much
currently
that
and
will
continue
now
for
a
few
years.
That
will
need
to
happen
all
at
the
same
time
and
we
don't
want
to
triple
pay
for
it
or
have
disasters
happen
like
bus
is
in
streets
and
whole
sites
collapsing
right.
It's
to
the
to
the
extent
that
we
can
anticipate
some
of
those.
I
think
I
think
some
of
the
work
we
can
do
can't
anticipate
and
prevent
them.
F
F
It's
almost
is
an
unending
demand
for
traffic
calming,
and
I
want
to
acknowledge
that
I
feel
like
we're
one
of
the
most
demanding
districts
in
requests,
and
yet
they
continue
to
come
in
again.
I
think,
because
sometimes
neighborhoods
really
don't
change.
We
have
low
turnover
in
in
our
people
in
this
city.
We,
you
know,
tend
to
stay
in
the
same
house
for
30
or
40
years,
but
an
entire
neighborhood
will
then
turn
over
like
bloomfield
is
like.
F
I
was
the
youngest
person
because
I
was
in
my
30s
and
it
was
literally
like
a
big
to-do
on
the
street
right,
everybody,
everybody
all.
The
retired
people
came
over
and
they're
like
we're
so
happy
to
move
to
our
street.
It
was.
It
was
exciting.
It
was
a
big
deal.
So
there's
a
lot
of
demands
because
again
destinations
and
journeys
are
different,
but
I
I'll
just
say
that
you
know
we
have
requests
still
for
traffic
calming
and
friendship.
We
have
requests
still
for
traffic
calming
on
penn
avenue.
F
The
strip
district
is
probably
just
beginning
in
its
demands
and
needs.
The
two
people
have
been
killed
at
21st
and
small
men
right
in
the
last
two
years,
and
I
think
both
of
them
were
during
the
day
right.
So
we
know
that
there
are
people
there,
thousands
of
people
on
streets
that
used
to
have
no
people
on
them.
That
just
were
just
basically
like
service
roads
going
to
warehouses
with
just
trucks.
F
They
don't
have
street
lighting,
they
don't
have
sidewalks
and
now
there's
just
hundreds
of
people
going
to
and
fro
a
little
less
so
that
we're
home,
but
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
are
home
in
the
strip.
A
lot
of
the
offices
may
not
be
populated,
but
a
lot
of
the
thousands
of
residences
added.
So
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
continuing
work.
I
also
want
to
thank
you
for
showing
up
yesterday.
F
We
just
heard
in
in
the
district
late
last
yesterday
afternoon
that
an
amazon
fulfillment
center
is
coming
to
51st
street
on
the
river,
and
it's
going
to
be
a
tremendous
concern.
I
got
emails
immediately
and
thank
you
for
showing
up
and
convening
with
the
administration
onto
a
very
quick
meeting
with
neighborhood
leadership,
to
think
about
how
to
mitigate
that
and
I'll.
Stop
there.
Mr
chairs,
I
could
I
feel
I
could
go
on
all
day.
Having
dough
me
captive
here,
but
I'll
stop.
C
Well,
I
would
just
say
on
the
traffic
calming
so
traffic
calming
has
been
great.
It's
also
been
a
little
bit
of
a
victim
of
its
own
success,
so
we've
we've
successfully
shown
the
way
and
we've
shown
the
positive
outcomes
that
come
from
managing
those
speeds.
I
will
take
this
opportunity
to
remind
everyone
that
we
wouldn't
need
traffic
calming.
C
So
you
know
this
is
another
reason
why
we
need
to
really
build
up.
The
planning
capacity
which
has
been
is,
is
one
of
our
smallest
functions
that
we
have
in
the
department
to
be
able
to.
You
know
look
at
those
things
on
a
network
level
and
figure
out
network
level
interventions
so
that
we're
not
just
addressing
it
on
this
block
or
that
block,
but
that
we're
addressing
it
at
the
accordance
at
the
gate.
C
You
know
the
entry
points
into
these
neighborhoods
so
that
we're
putting
traffic
where
it
belongs,
which
is
on
the
higher
order
streets
even
on
those
higher
order
streets.
We
still
need
people
to
travel
at
rational
and
safe
speeds,
again
25
miles
an
hour
please,
but
so
that
we
can
handle
it
more
at
a
network
level.
I
think
that's.
A
C
Yeah,
it's
a
huge
grant.
It's
exciting
grant!
It's
a!
I
know,
council
president,
you
worked
very
very
hard
for
years
to
raise
attention
to
that
need,
so
you
know
that
kind
of
work
is
also
paying
off
and
recognition
from
the
federal
emergency
management
agency
and
pennsylvania
emergency
management
to
recognize
that
we
need
to
get
ahead
of
some
of
these
critical
slope
areas
and
not
wait
for
something
truly
unfortunate
to
happen.
C
Looking
at
that
facade
doing
some
stabilization
up
at
the
top
of
the
mount
we'll
be
looking
at
the
back
side,
where
we
had
that
tremendous
landslide
in
2018
on
greenleaf
street
and
so
moving
forward
with
some
permanent
improvements
to
stabilize
that
slope
and
then
beginning
the
work
on
the
very
steepest
slope
which
is
sort
of
behind
the
television
tower
up
there
and
above
the
railroad
tracks,
is
a
very
steep
facade
that
we
have
we're
still
in
very,
very
early
stages
design.
But
we
need
to
well
exploration
really.
C
G
So
I'm
glad
you
brought
that
up,
because
I
want
people
to
understand
because
a
lot
of
times
people
think
we're
getting
money.
We
haven't
used
up
there,
but
we
have
or
there's
certain
requirements
that
we
need
to
go
through
before
we
can
and
there's
just
a
lot
of
misunderstanding
about
the
funding
that
goes
through.
G
That
flows
through
mount
washington,
duke
nights,
and
I
just
really
would
like
to-
and
I
think
some
of
it's
intentionally
being
misread,
but
I
would
like
to
make
sure
that
people
know
the
reality
from
your
point
of
view,
but
but
also
there's
some
additional
comments.
I
like
to
make
about
the
same
subject,
but
I'd
like
to
hear
what
jeff
has
to
say.
First.
D
Eric,
oh,
that's,
okay!
That's!
Okay!
Thank
you
yeah!
So
so
we
really.
I
I'm
really
excited
that.
We
we
got
this
grant
so
that
we
can
take
once
again
a
bigger
look
and
and
try
to
address
some
of
the
issue
issues.
You
know
it.
It's
tough
to
give
an
exact
timeline
now,
because
of
what
the
director
was
saying.
My
understanding
is
that.
D
D
I'm
sure
we'll
have
to
go
through
some
some
clearance
process
to
use
the
federal
money,
right-of-way
clearance,
environmental
clearance.
So
there
will
be
some
effort
there,
but
once
that's
done,
we
can
move
that
project
into
construction
while
we're
focusing
on
design
efforts
at
the
other
locations
optimistically.
I
think
that
construction
could
start
in
in
2022
if,
if
the
the
agreements
and
the
clearances
can
move
along
at
a
reasonable
rate,
the
the
area
above
mcardle
roadway
around
williams
street-
that
would
be
in-
I
guess
I'll
call.
It
phase
two
or
the
second
package.
D
There's
a
lot
of
final
design
work
to
do
there,
but
geotechnical
drilling.
We
have
some
preliminary
ideas
already,
so
you
know
we
are
not
starting
from
zero
there.
We
have
a
good
sense
of
what
needs
to
be
done
and
we
can
move
into
final
design
and
then
have
that
ready
as
the
the
second
package
and
then
the
third
would
be
the
area
over.
You
know,
at
the
other
end
of
grandview
avenue
near
the
the
communications
tower.
D
As
the
director
mentioned,
you
know
we're
really
at
the
at
the
the
very
preliminary
stage
there
we've
identified
the
problem,
but
we
need
to
do
a
lot
of
investigation
to
understand
the
potential
solutions
and
then
move
into
design.
So
then
that
would
be
like
the
third
third,
in
line
for
for
construction.
D
G
Okay,
so
I
think
that
that's
probably
a
goal
that
they'd
like
to
discuss
but
part
of
that's
in
councilman,
krause's
district,
so
I'll.
Let
him
speak
to
that,
but
part
of
it
is
in
my
district,
so
I
I
think
that
some
residents
really
do
want
it
open
some
actually
don't
so
I
think
it
depends
on
who
you
talk
to,
but
I
also
have
a
real
concern,
and
I
want
to
say
this-
that
we
constantly
see
development
happening
on
the
on
grandview
avenue
and
also
across
the
city
on
on
slope
areas.
C
C
We
then
would
consult,
do
consult
with
the
department
of
city
planning
and
pli
on
things
like
you
know,
land
movement
activities
and
other
elements
of
that.
So
you
know
that
is
council
president
another
council
players
in
another
area.
I
think
that
we
need
to
continue
to
press
forward
on
so
that
you
know.
Obviously
we
also
have
concerns
about
disruption
of
those
slopes.
G
You
I
just
want
to
say
that
the
city
has
done
their
part
in
getting
some
of
the
suspected
illegal
dumpers
into
court,
and
it's
my
understanding
that
they
were
not
pursued
that
they
that
whoever
whomever
there
was
who
held
the
court
hearings
dismissed
the
cases.
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
people
know
that
that
it's
not
that
the
city
is
not
trying
to
make
sure
that
they
resolve
these
issues.
G
They
just
haven't
been
resolved
once
they
reach
the
court
process
and-
and-
and
I
mean
maybe
for
various
reasons-
and
there
may
be
legitimate
reasons.
But
at
least
you
know
they're
we're
trying
to
do
something
to
rectify
that
as
well.
But
I
just
really
have
a
lot
of
concerns
because,
honestly,
one
of
the
things
because
I
actually
share
the
concerns
that
residents
have
about
people
coming
in
in
building
on
the
hillsides
and
there's
a
lot
of
people
doing
a
lot
of
work
up
there.
G
Now,
with
a
lot
of
money-
and
I
I
worry
every
time
I
see
any
type
of
equipment
on
that
hillside
that's
coming
down
and
it
may
may
be
stable
and
there
may
be
people
that
can
really
stabilize
there
and
having
them
work.
There
may
actually
be
some
of
the
best
things
that
can
happen
because
they
can
stabilize
the
area
and
some
of
them
have
that
capacity.
G
But
I
do
feel
like
there's
going
to
be
something
more
and
when
I
did
look
into
this.
They
said
that
part
of
that
is.
We
can't
deny
the
permits
on
the
state
level
because
of
state
laws.
I'm
sorry
because
of
state
laws-
and
I
don't
know
if
I'm
understanding
that
correctly,
but
if
anybody
here
has
any
knowledge
to
that
I'd
love
for
you
to
share
that
publicly,
because
I'd
like
to
know
what
we
need
to
do.
If
anything,
if
we
can
do
on
the
state
level
to
address
that.
C
C
You
know
I
mentioned
before
the
2070
vision
plan
that
we're
working
on
the
department
of
city
planning
is
working
on
the
comprehensive
plan
to
bring
that.
To
conclusion
you
know:
we've
we've
talked
about
we,
we
are
a
city
that
has
the
infrastructure
of
a
650
000
person
city
that
is
sustained
by
the
tax
base
of
you
know
less
than
300
000
persons.
At
this
point
we
need
to
start
building
back
that
many.
C
You
know
I
don't
want
to
see
development
on
these
steep
slopes
that
trigger
them,
but
we
do
have
substantial
tracks
on
flat,
riverfront
areas.
I
know
it
makes
you
know,
council
person
gross,
is
experiencing
the
pressure
of
that,
but,
for
example,
hazelwood
green.
You
know
on
the
north
shore
some
of
those
areas.
I
think
council
person
part
of
our
another
way.
G
Yeah,
I
just
think
that
there's
some
things
going
on
on
grandview,
that
between
the
hillsides
and
vacant-
lots
that
have
been
vacant
for
deca
over
a
decade
and
the
property
rights
that
you
know.
I
think
the
one
is
that
we
would
want
to
seize
the
property,
because
I've
looked
into
it
several
times
under
different
solicitors.
Trying
my
best
to
get
somebody
to
take
this
property
is
that
we
have
to
pay
what
the
property's
worth
and
for
the
residents
of
the
city
would
have
to
pay
millions
of
dollars.
G
For
some
of
those
lots,
I
just
think
that
there's
going
to
be
a
better
process
and
how
we
make
sure
people
follow
through
and
and
maybe
that's
working
with,
our
state
elected
officials,
but
our
state
elected
officials
understand
the
problems
they
advocate
and
allegating
how
they
advocate
for
us,
it's
working
with
others,
I
think
across
the
the
region
to
make
sure
that
they
understand
that
these
these
issues
could
be
theirs
one
day.
So
I
just.
G
G
It's
really
I
wish
I
mean
we
want
the
jobs
we
want.
Well,
some
people
may
question
what
jobs
are
coming,
but
you
know
overall,
people
need
to
work
and
we
know
that
and
but
it's
getting
people
who
walk
in
that
area
of
fairywood
it's
trying
to
get
people
a
lot
of
people
want
to
walk
to
the
place
they
want
to
take
transportation.
G
So
that's
I
just
want
to
say
councilman
gross.
I
think
it's
exciting
to
have
them
in
your
area
because
it
brings
does
bring
jobs,
maybe
not
the
jobs.
Some
people
might
question,
but
I,
but
I
do
think
that
there's
some
consequences
that
come
along
with
it
and
some
concerns
that
come
along
with
it.
So
good
luck
with
that.
F
G
G
Yeah
well
in
my
district,
so
far,
I've
got
to
be
honest,
they
employ
a
lot
of
people,
and
so
people
are
thankful
for
that.
But
at
the
same
time,
there's
questions
about
the
the
types
of
jobs.
They
are
the
how
the
employees
I
don't
know
I
I
mean
I
think
that
the
people
would
like
to
see
them
treated.
You
know
more
under
a
union
and-
and
I
think
that's
part
of
it
and
the
other
part
is
that
the
vehicle,
the
trucks
are
parked
all
over
and
there's
other
businesses
down
there.
G
Mod
cloth
is
down
there,
there's
a
lot
of
other
businesses
that
are
affected
by
the
trucks
all
over
the
place.
I
just
wish
we
would
address
it
because
there
was
so
much
vacant
land
on
there.
We
probably
could
have,
and
now
that
blends
being
moved
as
well,
and
so
my
my
other
question
is
we
do
a
lot
and
you
do
a
lot
and
we've
had
a
lot
of
issues
again
in
mount
washington,
duquesne
heights
with
different
signage
traffic.
G
You
know,
stop
signs
people
wanting
speed
hubs,
not
wanting
speed
hubs,
and
I
said
to
you
one
time:
I
understand
the
public
process.
I
think
if
the
public
says
they
have
a
concern
and
you
try
to
address
it.
I
wonder
at
what
point
do
we
say?
Okay,
this
is
a
safety
issue.
This
is
not
for
the
public
to
decide.
This
is
a
safety
issue
and
this
is
for
the
director
to
decide,
because
sometimes
I
get
a
little
concerned
because
I
feel
like
there
are
people
that
want
to
stop
sign.
G
Don't
want
to
stop
saying
what
a
stop
sign
moved.
They
want
lights
on
it,
they
don't
want
lights
on,
and
you
know
we've
gone
through
this
back
and
forth
and
several
places-
and
I
get
angry
because
I'm
thinking,
why
are
we
meeting
with
residents
and
they're
not
doing
what
they
ask?
So
I
feel
like
there's
that,
but
then
there's
also
this
part
of
maybe
we're
meeting
too
much
and
allow
it
should
be
safety
first,
above
all,
I
mean
there's
certain
things
that
drive
me
crazy.
G
It's
when
politics
get
involved
in
safety
or
health,
and
I
mean
this
past
year
has
been
I've
seen
both
and
it's
just
been.
I
just
think
there's
sometimes
you
have
to
draw
a
line,
and
this
is
one
of
those
times
I'd
like
to
know
what
is
there
ever
time?
You
say
that
this
is
just
for
the
safety
of
the
public,
and
we
just
cannot
do
this.
C
Yeah
I
I
really
really
appreciate
that
question
council,
president
smith,
so
yes
and
we're
starting
to
do
that
more
so
you
know
we
need
to
start
approaching
and
couching
the
outreach,
not
as
a
you
know.
Should
there
be
a
safety
improvement.
We
can
have
the
conversations
about
what
is
the
most
appropriate
safety
improvement,
because
there's
there's
oftentimes
different
approaches
to
do
that.
But
it's
not
a
it's,
not
a
question
for
the
public,
yes
or
no,
and
we
went
through
that
this
year.
C
You
know
with
regard
to
some
of
our
neighbor
way
and
bicycle
improvement
plans,
but
it
is
imperative
we
have
had
bicycle
fatalities.
We
have
had
pedestrian
fatalities.
We
cannot
tolerate.
It
is
not
worth
the
loss
of
a
human
life.
So
so
it's
not
a
question
of
should
bicyclists
be
accommodated,
they're
legal
users
of
the
street.
They
will
be
accommodated.
C
We
will
work
with
the
public
on
the
right
way
to
do
it
that
works
within
the
context
of
their
neighborhood,
but
but
that's
really,
where
we've
sort
of
started
to
have
to
be
a
little
bit
more
clear
that
what
is
the
nature
of
the
public
feedback
that
we're
we're?
Looking
for
which
is
you
know,
how
can
we
do
this
in
an
appropriate
and
sensitive
way
to
your
community,
not
a
not
a
democratic
decision
of
should
we
preserve
traffic
safety
or
not?
That
is
not
a
question
for
public
input.
G
C
G
G
He
loved
some
of
the
the
residents
on
greenview
wanted
them,
but
I
even
then
I
didn't
want
them.
It
was
when
commander
dixon
said
it
was
a
safety
concern
that
she
wanted
them
up
there,
and
so
that's
what
between
the
two
of
you,
that's
what
changed
my
mind
and
then
I
thought
if
it's
a
safety
issue
same
thing.
I
think
that's
when
I
have
to
shut
my
mouth,
but
I
have
to
be
honest
with
you.
I
think
that
there
has
to
be
a
better
looking
way
to
slow
traffic
because
they
are
speed.
G
Bumps
are
ugly
and
I
just
think
to
me
there
seems
like
a
better
way
to
calm
traffic,
maybe
putting
in
planters
or
narrowing
the
streets
a
little
bit
or
making
them.
You
know
one
way
or
something
I
don't
know
what
it
is,
but
I
hope
we
look
into
it.
I
do
want
to
say
they
get
a
gazillion
requests
for
traffic
mirrors.
G
I
said
I
don't
understand
how
the
county
is
using
them
because
they
put
them
and
there's
one
right
over
by
our
police
station
over
on
the
north
side,
the
head
police
headquarters,
where
the
county
put
them
up,
and
when
I
looked
into
it
they
said
it
was
because
port
authority
can
put
them
up
in
any
port
authority
place.
And
so
that's
there's
a
bus,
stop
there
and
that's
where
they
put
it
up.
But
it
really
helps
our
people
coming
out
of
the
headquarters.
G
You
know
to
see
the
traffic,
so
I
I
hope
that's
something
that
we
revisit,
because
even
though
I
know
it
distorts,
if
the
image
is
distorted
or
could
be
appear
closer,
but
the
same
same
disclosure
that
they
have
on
on
the
sign
over
on
the
north
side
could
be
the
same
disclosure
we
put
across
the
ones
that
we
put
across
the
city,
because
I
think
there's
so
many
places.
We
want
nobles
town,
road
and
harris
avenue.
C
Yeah
we'll
focus
on
slowing
the
traffic
so
that
there's
adequate
gaps
for
people
to
get
out
the
the
mirrors
again.
We've
had
this
conversation
that
where
the
port
authority
can
train
their
drivers
because
they
have
you
know
they,
they
are
hired
people
and
they're
going
through
regular
training
programs.
You
can
have
consistency
there
so
that
the
drivers
know
how
to
use
the
mirrors
that
that
they
know
what
they're.
C
Looking
at
when
they're
saying
that
we
don't,
we
have
a,
we
don't
have
the
same
ease
of
training
for
the
diversity
of
motorists,
the
drivers
that
we
have
here
and
so
people
end
up
with
a
with
a
fault
sense
of
understanding,
which
can
be
actually
even
more
dangerous.
So
slowing
traffic
speeds
is
definitely
the
number
one
approach
that
we
want
to
take
so
that
you
can
pull
out
safely
that
there's
adequate
gaps
that
motorists
can
see
each
other
as
they're
coming
into
some
of
these
blind
intersection
areas,
speed
speedhumps!
C
I'm
glad
that
you
said
that
speedhumps
are
not.
We.
We
talk
about
a
traffic
calming
program,
not
a
speed
hump
program,
because
we
do
have
a
number
of
different
tools
in
our
toolbox
that
are
not
just
speed.
Humps
our
engineers
work
really
hard
to
find
the
most
appropriate
intervention,
we're
broadening
our
toolbox
all
the
time.
So
this
year
we
introduced
mini
circles
as
being
another
option
in
that
there
is
a
whole
array.
C
Yes,
grandview
has
the
has
the
speed
humps
that
was
deemed
to
be
the
most
appropriate
intervention
there,
but
it's
not
the
only
one
and
we're
continuing
to
try
and
build
that
portfolio.
So
we
can
address
traffic
calming
on
on
some
of
the
steeper
narrower
streets.
I
know
we
would
be
remiss
not
to
mention
merrimack
as
one
that
we're
continuing
to
try
and
figure
out
how
we
can
put
the
right
that
is
speed,
humps
or
the
wrong
solution
there.
C
G
G
Yeah,
I
just
don't
want
to
listen,
because
that's
actually
why
we
actually
started
looking
at
mount
washington,
because
the
residents
in
on
merrimack
had
such
concern
and
yet
that's
the
area
that
we
haven't
had
a
solution,
a
real
solution.
Yet,
and
so
I
really
want
to
look
at
that-
and
I
do
know
that
that
the
speed
hub
that
or
the
intersection
they
call
crash
island.
I
do
know
that
that's
something
that
you're
still
working
on
and
you
you,
I
think
it
was.
We
agreed
to
putting
up
a
stop
sign
with
the
light.
G
So
I
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
you
know
flashing
light,
so
we'll
make
sure
that's
something
that
we
still
do,
because
that
was
something
we
we
agreed
to.
I
think
with
the
residents
that
that
night,
when
we
were
up
there
but
there's
also
a
nobles
town
in
in
westwood
that
nobles
town
and
harris
they
would
like
to
see
the
the
mirror,
because
the
city
city
planning
authorized
a
fence
that
was
over
six
foot
at
an
intersection.
So
that's
something
that
they
need
to
rethink
as
well.
G
Yeah,
so
I
just
want
to
say,
I
think
that
somehow
there's
going
to
be
some
coordination
between
city
planning
and
domey,
and
you
know
what
we're
authorizing,
what
we're
not
what
they
can
and
cannot
change
so,
and
this
was
this
fence
was
put
up
years
ago.
So
I
don't
want
to
blame
any
current.
You
know
current
people
involved.
I
just
want
to
say
that
it's
been
a
problem
ever
since.
G
Okay,
thanks.
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
everything.
Thank
you
for
all
the
work
that
you
do.
You
do
a
lot
of
hard
work
with
very
little
budget,
very
little
team
and
you're
getting
an
awful
lot
done
this,
but
you
just
have
done
an
awful
lot
in
our
district.
Even
though
you
hear
some
complaints,
there
are
a
lot
of
people
that
have
sent
a
gazillion
thank
yous
and
appreciation
emails
and
phone
calls
and
text
messages,
all
those
things
for
you
and
your
whole
department.
A
Oh,
thank
you,
madam
president,
and
so
I
do
have.
I
do
have
some
questions.
I
know
it's
getting
to
be.
You
know
some
time
being
here.
I
really
appreciate
all
your
time.
I
think
that
you
know
your
department
is
so
critical
for
every
you
know
most
discussions
that
happen
in
my
neighborhood,
the
neighborhoods
that
I
represent
and
your
team
has
been
so
responsive.
So
I
want
to.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
that,
whether
it's
like
a
large,
you
know
landslide
issue.
A
You
know
working
with
the
contractor
to
get
that
moving
or
something
that
you
know
may
seem
small,
but
it's
very
important.
Like
recently
river
avenue
there's
you
know
some
tracks
there
that
have
been
left
over
from
the
ages
of
I
don't
know
just
prior
prior
the
way
things
were
distributed
from
you
know
a
a
plant
on
the
on
the
railroad
track.
A
I'm
not
sure
what
those
what
those
types
of
tracks
are
called
where
they
actually
go
into
the
business,
but
anyway
they
were
crossing
river
avenue
and
it's
a
day.
It's
a
it's
a
it's
a
hazard
to
cyclists.
So
you
know,
I
appreciate
all
your
efforts
to
make
the
roads
for
everyone,
so
I
did
have
some
some
questions
about
travis
calming,
but
I
will
start
to
say
that
you
know
I'm
curious.
I
mean
everyone
is
so
eager
for
a
traffic
coming
and
everyone
wants
it.
A
It
cuts
through
all
you
know,
types
of
people,
people
that
don't
even
like
bike
lanes.
They
want
traffic
coming
so,
and
you
know
the
process
is
not
that
not
that
fast
and
not
because
of
you
or
your
department.
You
know
that
that
takes
some
time
for
the
you
know
for
the
the
actual.
Can
you
explain
that
process?
A
So
the
public
can
hear
that
process,
because
I
I
think
I
have
about
maybe
14
petitions
that
have
been
turned
in
since
since
I
took
office,
and
you
know
I'm
happy
to
see
that
we
were
able
to
get
the
first
ones
in
district
one
and
on
venture
street.
But
you
know,
can
you
just
explain
that
process
so
that
you
know
for
the
public
so
that
you
know
we
can
always
point
back
to
this.
C
C
The
purpose
of
the
petition
is
to
really
demonstrate
that
there
is.
You
know
it's
not
just
one
person
who
who
perceives
this
being
an
issue,
but
there
is
a
general
consensus
in
the
community
that
this
is
an
issue
that
needs
solving
and
that
they're
willing
to
be
kind
of
co-designers
and
in
solving
that
issue
with
us.
So
if
we
go
away
from
the
petition
process,
we'll
need
to
rely
more
on
council
offices
or
community-based
organizations
or
others
to
kind
of
attest
to
that
sort
of
collective
understanding
of
concern
and
desire.
C
C
We
will
attempt
to
collect
ancillary
information
about
non-motorized
users
on
the
corridor
as
well,
so
bicyclists
and
pedestrians
that
might
be
more
vulnerable
users.
We
collect
historic
safety
data
so
if
there's
been
crashes
that
have
occurred
on
the
streets
certainly
fatalities
and,
in
particular
fatalities
involving
pedestrians
or
people
on
bikes,
really,
you
know
gear
that
up.
We
look
at
other
kind
of
critical
user
destinations
in
the
area.
C
So
if
it's
a
street
like
you
know,
perrysville
or
you
know
north
avenue
or
something
like
that,
it
gets
more
difficult
to
try
and
do
traffic
calming
on
a
street
like
that
than
some
of
the
tertiary
cut
through
streets,
that
people
are
just
finding
a
way
to
bypass
the
designed
transportation
corridors,
and
then
we
look
at
you
know
that
network
effect
that
I
talked
about
earlier
of.
If
we,
if
this,
while
traffic
calming,
is
not
meant
to
be
a
traffic
reduction,
it's
meant
to
be
traffic
calming.
C
We
do
know
that
motorists
don't
like
speed,
humps
and
mini
circles
and
neck
downs,
and
things
like
that,
so
they
will
choose
other
routes,
and
so
we
need
to
be
conscious
of
what
that
means.
So
if
the
data
collection
so
usually
takes
us,
you
know
between
one
and
three
months
to
schedule
that
data
collection,
because
we
do
have
a
long
list
of
requests
that
come
in.
C
So
if
the
85th
percentile
speed,
which
means
it's
the
speed
that
about
80
percent
of
the
vehicles,
I'm
sorry
it's
the
speed
at
which
85
percent
of
the
vehicles
are
traveling
below
and
15
of
vehicles
are
traveling
above.
If
that
is
greater
than
this
posted
speed
limit
than
it
than
it
is,
and
it's
a
the
right
typology
of
street,
then
it
is
eligible.
C
I
will
say,
unfortunately,
most
of
the
streets
that
we
collect
data
on
you
know
the
85th
percentile
speed
is
well
in
excess
of
the
posted
speed
limit.
Again,
we
just
need
all
motorists
everywhere
to
slow
down
and
then
we
look
at
sort
of
the
magnitude.
So
what
is
the
the
amount
of
speeding?
That's
that's
happening
there.
What
is
the
volume
of
vehicle
traffic?
That's
there
streets
that
have
you
know
more
than
a
thousand
vehicles
a
day.
C
It
gets
more
difficult
again
to
do
traffic
calling
on
those
streets
versus
the
lower
volume
streets.
This
is
a
super
long
answer.
Yes,
so
we
don't
give
them
the
roadway
geometric.
So
what
is
the
blade
of
the
street?
What
is
the
the
if
there's
turns
or
sight
lines
or
anything
like
that?
That's
an
issue.
C
A
Venture
street
in
the
summer
of
2019
worked
with,
you
know,
worked
with
the
residents
and
then
we
saw
the
implementation
the
next
year,
and
so
you
know
to
tailor
that
question
it's
more
of.
Like
you
know.
How
do
we
I
mean
our
offices
is
getting.
My
council
office
is
getting
better
at
relaying
the
information
to
residents,
but
you
know
just
like
with
301
and
a
lot
of
things.
You
know
the
public.
You
know
just
like
the
petition
here.
The
public
puts
in
their
input
and
they're
like
what
do
I
you
know.
A
How
do
I
know
where
this
is
at?
You
know
we're
all
used
to
most
of
us.
You
know
sometimes
order
a
pizza
from
domino's
and
they
see
the
in
the
oven
you
know
being
prepared.
You
know
it's
being
prepared,
it's
in
the
oven,
it's
coming
to
your
door
and
you
know
I
think
a
lot
of
people
would
always
benefit
from
something
like
that.
I
guess
what
I'm
talking
about
is
just
like
an
updated
email.
So
me,
I
don't
know
if,
like
you
know,
there's
a
way
we
can.
A
Just
you
know
connect
that
piece,
because
so
many
people,
you
know
when
you
do
a
door-to-door
thing.
It's
such
a
you
know
human
process
where
people
have
this
connection,
they
talk
about
it
and
then,
whenever
you
know
they're
like
I
put
this
time
into
this
and
they
always
want
to
like
really
understand,
I
think
you
all
are
doing
a
great
job
for
what
you're
you
know
tasked
with
I
mean
I
mean
cars
were
invented.
A
C
Yeah,
I
think
that's
one
thing
we'd
like
to
get
better
in
in
2021
overall
is
just
our
the
public
feedback
loop,
we'll
we'll
recognize
that
that's
you
know
and
again
we
that
was
one
of
the
positions
that
we
did.
It
has
been
vacant
and
we
did
eliminate
that
position
in
the
2021
budget,
but
we
need
to
figure
out
as
a
department.
C
C
D
A
It'd
be
great
to
integrate
this
with
something
like
three
on
one.
Almost
like
a
I
mean,
even
though
we're
all
mostly
virtual.
Now
there
is
some
sort
of
virtual.
You
know
online
petition
where
someone
can
actually
enter
in
their
email
address
and
just
like
the
three
on
one
dashboard,
that's
coming,
they
could
yeah
or
they're
the
generated
emails
they
get
from
three
on
one
they
could
get.
You
know
there's
one
blast
on
where
this
project
is.
D
C
Oh,
I
have
to
pull
it
up.
I
want
to
say
200
000,
but
I
have
my
budget
in
the
other
window
here
and
you
know
the
traffic
calming
projects
generally
range
from
about
40
000
to
about
a
hundred
thousand
in
this
project.
I'll
get
back
to
what
the
actual
number
is.
I
can't
pull
it
up
as
quickly
as
I
think.
C
Yeah,
there's
some
carryover
and,
and
we
do
try
and
incorporate
that
traffic
calming
you
know
that
involves
pavement
markings
only
as
opposed
to
speed,
humps
or
other
things
incorporate
that
into
our
street
resurfacing
program.
You
know
where
we'll
have
to
put
back
markings
anyway
after
we
mill
it.
So
we
do
try
and
leverage
across
programs
to
do
more
than
that
number
might
relay.
But
yes,
it
is.
It
is
a
and.
C
It's
capital,
it's
a
capital
budget
depending
on
the
intervention
that
we
do
things
like
the
mini
circles,
the
the
curb
concrete,
curb
extensions,
medians,
pedestrian
refuge,
islands.
Those
are
all
bond
eligible
things
like
speed,
humps
and
just
pavement.
Markings
do
require
that
the
paga,
which
is
much
harder
to
come
by.
A
Like
a
expedited
basis-
and
you
know,
I'm
curious
to
know
what
what
that
looks
like
for
restaurants
like
is
there
any?
I
heard
some
previous
discussions
of
maybe
looking
at
some.
You
know
kind
of
like
we
have
a
side
lot
program.
Are
there
a
side
loss
next
to
small
businesses,
restaurants,
where
they
can
do
more
outdoor
activity?
During
the
you
know,
the
winter
when
it
gets
cold?
A
C
C
Our
anticipation
is
that
that
would
follow
the
sidewalk
cafe,
process
that
we
have
now.
That
does
require
council
engagement
and
approval
on
those,
but
we
would
like
to
see
some
of
these
be
either
seasonal,
so
in
the
warmer
months
or
in
those
places
where
we've
we've
found
that
it's
been
some
some
good
success,
maybe
keep
it
going
year-round,
but
at
the
moment
we're
still
really
just
trying
to
help
our
restaurants
weather
this
really
dire
time.
C
A
A
C
But
I
don't
have
the
whole
history
of
that
one,
but
I
believe
there
was
a
transit
master
plan
that
was
done
for
the
port
authority
about
10
years
ago
in
which
they
identified
this.
As
being,
I
think
they
called
it.
The
spine
line
being
a
critical
corridor
to
connect
these
two
largest
employment
centers.
C
In
the
region,
it
has
really,
you
know,
gotten
a
big
push
in
the
last
two
three
years
here
we
have
now.
The
the
federal
transit
administration
has
now
selected
this
project
for
federal
aid.
My
understanding
is
that
we
do
not
yet
have
a
full.
The
port
authority
now
would
be
the
grant
recipient
of
that.
C
We
did
not
yet
have
a
full
funding
agreement,
but
that's
just
part
of
these
law.
You
know
prolonged
federal
processes
that
we
go
through
the
design
is,
you
know,
we're
at
sort
of
a
90
design
phase,
so
my
team
has
been
putting
in
innumerable
hours
going
through
thousands
of
engineering
drawing
pages
of
engineering
drawings
to
review
these
as
it'll
affect
the
the
street.
C
Those
comments
are
now
back
to
the
port
authority
for
them
to
make
revisions
the
it
is
a
large
large,
large
project,
it's
about
220
million
dollar
investment.
To
do
this,
the
public
utilities,
so
pwsa
people's
gas,
decay
and
electric
are
already
undergoing
their
designs
for
the
utility
relocations
that
will
be
necessary
for
that,
so
that's
underway.
C
So
the
precise
schedule
for
construction
is
still
pending.
You
know
getting
all
of
the
funding
together
and
in
place,
but
we
anticipate
that
it's
going
to
happen.
We
may
see
construction
beginning
as
soon
as
next
year,
maybe
2022
by
this
time
that
we
see
you
know
that
kind
of
heavy
construction
occurring
for
implementation
of
the
brt.
A
C
C
You
know
route
51
that
wraps
around
the
backside
route
19.,
so
there's
there's
a
lot
of
regional
national
assets,
and
so
we
were
able
to
really
very
fortunate
to
gain
that
kind
of
funding.
You
know
really
a
lot
of
thanks
to
you
know
the
the
state
and
national
elected
our
delegation
from
this
area
for
for
pushing
that
forward
and
really
advocating
so.
C
A
Even
though
that's
not
in
my
district
that
you
know
mount
washington
to
pittsburgh
is
something
that's
so
important
so
to
see
that
that
preemptive
work,
you
know
the
fun
story
that
we
have.
The
work
is
so
important.
So
all
right,
thanks
for
your
time
and-
and
you
know
thank
you
to
you
and
your
staff
for.
G
Work
on
that,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we
acknowledge
congressman
doyle,
congressman
liam
senator
toomey
and
senator
casey
and,
of
course,
domi
and
chief
of
staff.
Gilman
have
done
an
extensive
amount
of
work
on
and
they're
being
very
humble,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
we
acknowledge
their
work
as
well.
Thank
you.
Thank.
A
You
I'm,
I
really
appreciate
you
bringing
that
forward,
because
that's
that
that's
really
what
should
have
been
my
follow-up
question
is:
can
you
tell
me
all
the
work?
That's
what
that's
going
on
into
this,
because
that's
what
I'm
looking
at
I'm
looking
at
the
the
headlines
and
since
I
haven't
been
a
part
of
the
process,
you
know
I'm
always
curious
on
how
you
know
the
city
of
our
size
and
that-
and
you
know
what
we
have
to
work
with-
how
you
know
we
can.
A
We
can
gather
more
funds,
and
so
I
I've
been
seeing
so
much
investment
from
the
state
on
certain
projects
and
to
see
this
type
of
funding
at
the
10
million
dollar
mark
I
mean
if
anyone
would
like
to
elaborate
even
more
on
the
type
of
work
that
goes
into
funding
like
that.
I
don't
want
to
miss
this
moment
to
really
congratulate
the
people
that
have
worked
so
hard
for
this.
C
I
will
just
say
a
lot:
a
lot
of
work
goes
into
putting
together
the
funding
packages
for
something
like
that,
but
yeah
we
we
can
provide
the
technical
information
which
we
did
and
thanks
to
eric
and
his
team
and
and
so
many
in
our
department
that
did
that
but
yeah.
It
doesn't
get
done
without
that
kind
of
advocacy
in
washington
that
we're
really
really
fortunate
to
have.
A
A
A
On
top
of
all
this,
your
department
is
also
gathering
this
information
and
reporting.
I
guess
to
to
the
administration
on
on.
You
know
what
the
technical
surveys
say,
and
you
know
what
we
should
be
looking
forward
to
in
the
next
50
years
of
a
of
a
slope
like
mount
washington
and
so
you're
gathering
all
the
information
you
know
doing
your
job
at
the
same
time
and
then
at
the
end
of
it
we
get
to
see
some
10
million
dollar.
A
You
know
investment
from
from
the
federal
government.
I
mean
to
me,
that's
just
incredible
to
see
you
know
you
and
your
staff
work
towards
something
that
we
all
see
every
day
like
our
roads,
but
then
also
something
larger
like
this.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone,
and
I
know
president
cal
smith,
you
know
that's,
this
is
your
district
and-
and
you
know
part
of
this
is
councilman
crosses,
but
it's
just
it's
just
great
to
see
this.
This
type
of
yeah.
G
And
I
just
really
want
to
also
acknowledge
that
we
have
grant
writers
there's
the
budget
offices
that
worked
on
this
on
both
sides,
though
there's
a
lot
of
people
involved
in
these
kinds
of
things,
and
and
actually
we
we
started
this
years
ago.
Just
so,
you
might
want
to
start
this
now
somewhere
in
your
district.
Is
we
started
with
giving
a
tour
to
people
to
let
them
know
what
the
issues
were,
and
then
you
know
it's.
A
Great,
I
appreciate
I
appreciate
understanding
more
of
what
all
goes
into
a
package
like
this,
so
with
with
that
said,
you
know
this
has
been
a
great
budget
hearing
and-
and
you
know
to
to
finish
up
here-
I
wanted
to
I
believe
director
urbanic.
Do
you
have
something
to
say
before
I
make
the
last
comments.
B
I
also
want
to
take
that
last
hearing
here
take
a
moment
to
thank
the
city
council
and
for
their
participation
this
year.
This
is
since
I've
bee
was
budget.
Direct
became
budget
director
in
2006.
This
is
the
best
participation
I've
I've
seen.
Of
course,
members
always
are
watching
having
their
staff
watch
the
hearing
we'll
go
back
and
review
the
information,
but
for
the
amount
of
questions
and
and
the
information
and
the
knowledge
of
our
members.
B
B
We
wouldn't
be
here
right
now
talking
about
a
six-month
plan
if
it
wasn't
for
the
excellent
fiscal
stewardship
of
this
council,
this
current
administration
and
the
three
administrations
and
councils.
Because
of
that
good
fiscal
stewardship,
we
were
able
to
have
a
fund
balance
that
has
allowed
us
to
to
move
on.
I
there
is
76
million
dollars
less
that
we
in
revenue
this
year.
Had
we
not
had
120
million
talking
a
six
month
budget,
we
would
be
talking
about
massive
cuts.
B
B
And
amend
this
budget
some
spring,
hopefully,
and
hopefully
it's
a
lot
of
revenue
close
out
for
me
again
thank
all
my
counselors
and
also
the
administration.
I'd
like
to
thank
the
the
mayor,
obviously,
and
my
counterpart,
the
office
management
budget,
kevin
staff
has
been
had
some
great
communication
once
again
spearheaded
inch
chair
ledell,
but
this
particular
budget
was
very
well
done
and
anticipates
a
lot
of
things.
B
A
