A
Just
for
those
who
may
not
have
heard
our
mayor
has
decided
to
take
a
temporary
leave
of
absence
to
attend
to
some
medical
issues
and
we're
expecting
to
see
him
back
here
very
soon
and
would
wish
him
all
the
best
we
are
first
is
recognitions
and
appointments
and
I
don't
know
if
Don
Weber
is
here,
he's
being
reappointed
to
the
building
Board
of
Appeals.
Here
we
thank
him
for
his
service.
We
turn
to
public
comment
now.
A
The
public
comment
is
for
a
period
up
to
30
minutes,
I
believe
I
counted,
11
names
and
I'm
going
to
call
them
three
at
a
time.
You
have
three
minutes
up
to
three
minutes
to
speak
and
I
know.
Several
of
you
are
here
to
speak
about
the
downtown
Bloomington
Association
and
its
potential
move
to
the
city.
A
C
Thank
you.
My
name
is
Ruth
Haney
and
I'm.
The
current
president
of
the
board
of
directors
for
the
downtown
Bloomington,
Association
and
I
want
to
state
the
board
is
in
full
support
of
recommending
that
the
DBA
office,
along
with
the
staff,
become
a
part
of
the
community
development
department
of
the
city.
Our
board
consists
of
members
from
retailers,
property
owners,
there's
no
owners
and
people
that
live
and
work
in
the
downtown.
C
C
This
90
thousand
a
year
does
not
does
not
go
far
when
the
salaries,
insurance,
rent
and
utilities
are
coming
out
of
that
amount.
We
have
found.
This
budget
has
made
programs
difficult
and
limited
to
carry
out
our
goals,
money
for
the
events,
marketing
cost,
artwork
and
beautification
all
comes
from
membership
dues,
fundraisers
and
private
sponsors
sponsorship.
C
Members
of
the
board
and
others
have
donated
not
only
money
but
thousands
of
hours
of
volunteer
work
and
it
has
made
it
a
better
place
to
live
work
and
play
in
the
downtown.
The
DBA
has
been
a
great
asset
for
the
city
and
it
has
made
a
huge
impact
on
what
you
see
and
what
has
happening
in
our
downtown.
It
not
only
promotes
the
revitalization
of
the
downtown,
but
also
hosts
hosts
many
events
in
the
downtown
and
dallisa
only
a
few.
C
The
City
Council
unanimously
adopted
the
city
strategic
strategic
plan,
and
one
of
its
key
goals
was
to
be
have
a
prosperous
downtown.
My
hope
is
that
the
DBA
board
will
be
able
to
continue
to
be
a
partner
with
the
city
and
act
as
an
advisory
board,
so
that
we
continue
to
have
a
voice
in
moving
our
downtown
forward
so
that
we
can
reach
our
shared
goal
for
our
downtown.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
D
Good
evening
Tim
Tilton,
200,
West
Monroe,
my
wife
and
I-
are
residents
business
owners
on
multiple
businesses
and
property
owners
in
the
downtown
I'm.
Also
a
board
member
of
the
DBA
I
want
to
applaud
the
city
staff
and
you
on
the
council
for
your
forward-thinking
in
regard
to
the
DBA
and
all
it
has
accomplished
up
to
this
point
and
also
acknowledged
that
this
has
been
a
very
successful
model,
the
one
that
is
being
presented
for
our
our
DBA
to
be
brought
into
the
fold
of
the
city.
D
We
recognize
many
of
the
strengths
of
our
downtown,
the
history
and
its
people,
its
rich
architecture,
the
Lincoln
connection
route,
66,
all
of
our
artists
over
28,
the
last
time,
I
counted
and
get
being
an
arts
center
with
the
Visual
and
Performing
Arts
Center.
It's
an
entertainment
venue,
dining
nightlife
is
well
known
and
appreciated
by
all
music
and
visual
arts,
again
at
the
BC
PA,
there's
a
great
deal
of
high-end
and
ever-growing
residential
apartments,
condos
and
homes
in
the
downtown
area.
D
We're
a
government
Center
in
a
Center
for
preservation
of
our
of
our
whole
community,
we're
linked
to
our
shared
heritage
through
the
Museum
of
History
and
all
of
the
things
that
they
do
we're
a
job,
incubator
and
business
incubator.
To
a
very
large
extent,
our
facility
has
been
an
incubator
for
at
least
a
dozen
of
very
very
successful
businesses
that
have
grown
to
be
a
part
of
our
community.
They've
actually
left
us
because
they,
they
outgrew
our
facility.
A
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
I
think
you've
had
in
this
last
in
this
year,
and
the
reason
I
was
positive
is
I
heard
you
using
some
words,
I've
been
pleading
for
you
to
consider
things
like
collaboration
cooperation,
those
types
of
things
that
seem
to
be
kind
of
hard
to
talk
about
at
least
recently
within
the
on
both
sides
of
Division
Street.
Let
me
just
put
it
that
way.
D
So
I
was
I
was
feeling
pretty
good
about
that
and
I
still
AM
I'm,
still
optimistic,
I'm,
probably
too
optimistic,
but
I
would
really
hope
that
there'd
be
some
follow
through
my
speaker,
ahead
of
me.
I,
respect
and
I
know
that
it's
tough
difficult
to
make
priority-based
budgeting
work,
but
I'm,
hoping
that
you're
going
to
take
another
stab
at
it
and
that
you'll
you'll
stick
with
it.
I
think
you've
got
some
real
motive,
motivations.
D
If
you
look
what's
going
on
in
Illinois
and
what's
going
on
in
the
United
States,
it's
time,
we
start
doing
some
priority
type
thinking
and
I'm,
hoping
that
you'll
do
that
I'm
really
optimistic
that
you'll
do
that
I'll
help
in
any
way
I
can
in
closing
and
I'm
going
to
make
this
quick.
Five
months
ago,
Jim
pruin
a
very
highly
respected
alderman
here
in
Bloomington
and
another
highly
committed
and
equally
talented
member
of
the
town
council
across
Division
Street
wrote
and
distributed
a
document
titled
principles
of
partnership.
D
To
my
knowledge,
I,
don't
know
if
I'd
ever
really
got
on
the
table
on
either
count
town
or
city
councils
base
for
discussion,
I
hope
it
would
get
some
attention.
I
think
the
time
is
right.
I
think
that
there's
tremendous
opportunities
to
save
dollars
significant
dollars,
millions
of
dollars
if
we
can
get
down
to
some
real,
careful
and
serious
thinking
about
collaboration
within
this
region.
G
G
G
D
There
may
be
ways
to
shore
it
up
and
make
it
work,
but
we
are
at
the
point
we
are
in
trouble
and
for
what
we
do
for
downtown
Bloomington
as
far
as
promoting
events
and
so
on.
We
put
in
numerous
volunteer
hours,
many
of
our
folks
through
that
to
get
things
to
happen,
downtown
to
try
to
draw
people
in
be
a
part.
D
D
D
C
H
D
Look
like
I
want
to
take
you
back
two
weeks
to
the
eleventh
hour
commentary
about
the
requesting
of
electrical
supply
to
the
city
of
Bloomington.
At
the
insistence
of
councilman
black
and
misma
giris,
it
was
voted
to
only
seek
request
for
proposal
from
those
utilities
who
would
supply
only
green
energy.
I.
Think
that's
a
mistake
and
I
would
make
the
appeal
to
the
council
to
go
back
and
revisit
that
and
bring
it
forth
for
a
vote.
D
I
will
refer
initially
to
a
Friday
August
25th
section
of
money
in
the
pantograph
which
says
the
Department
of
Energy
said
Wednesday.
The
government
should
make
it
easier
and
cheaper
to
operate
power
plants,
including
coal
and
nuclear,
to
strengthen
the
nation's
electric
grid.
The
Department
said
in
a
new
report
that
the
closure
of
many
plants
that
once
formed
the
backbone
of
the
grid,
has
raised
the
risk
that
consumers
might
not
have
reliable
electricity
and
I.
Think
that's
what
we're
talking
about.
I
didn't
feel
that
the
individual
who
presented
that
was
entirely
accurate
and
mr.
D
Paynter
I,
don't
feel
that
those
numbers
that
he
gave
were
entirely
that
close,
as
you
said,
that
to
be
insignificant
from
I.
So
I
went
back
this
research
and,
of
course,
we
used
google.
Why
not
and
try
to
use
as
many
as
we
can
I
found
that
electricity
from
new
solar
is
nearly
five
times
more
expensive
than
from
existing
nuclear
and
three
and
a
half
times
more
expensive
than
from
existing
coal.
D
Electricity
from
new
wind
is
over
three
and
a
half
times
more
expensive
than
from
existing
nuclear
and
over
two
and
a
half
times
more
expensive
than
from
existing
coal.
Wind
and
solar
are
called
intermittent
power
sources,
basically
they're
dependent
on
whether
the
Sun
shines
or
the
wind
blows.
Cold,
fossil
and
nuclear
are
called
operator
controlled
and
they
provide
the
a
reliable
sustainable
contribution
to
the
electric
grid,
something
that
wind
and
solar
cannot
do
without
the
aid
of
either
massive
acres
of
solar
panels
or
wind
machines.
D
And
there
are
not
enough
batteries
in
the
country
to
provide
the
backup
power
that
this
country
and
even
the
city
might
need
in
times
of
crisis
in
2:14
coal
met
92
percent
of
the
electric
needs
across
the
country.
Now
you
cannot
replace
92
percent
of
the
co
of
that
need
in
you
know,
in
just
solar
and
wind.
It
cannot
be
done.
D
Europe
has
found
this
to
be
a
failing
too,
because
what
they
have
found-
and
this
has
come
from
a
European
study-
is
that
they
are
mistaking
a
labor-intensive
energy
sector
rather
than
efficiency.
They
double
counted
jobs
and
oversimplify
the
labour
market.
They
found
out
that
it.
The
question
was
asked
how
much
government
support
of
green
markets
is
enough.
D
The
government
was
picking
winners
and
losers
and
that's
something
you
did
last
week.
You
picked
winners
and
losers,
free
market
capitalism
as
well
we're
about
not
picking
winners
and
losers.
There's
more
and
I'd
be
happy
to
talk
to
you
about
it.
I'm
sorry,
I
can't
stay
tonight,
but
you
have
my
phone
number
alderman
painter.
You
know
where
I
live.
Thank.
I
Hi
I'm
martha
burk
I'm
on
the
DBA,
Board
and
I'm.
Also
chair
of
the
design
committee
of
the
BBA.
Well
in
2008,
my
friend
join
guessing
her
and
I
opened
the
gallery
in
art
gallery
in
downtown
Bloomington
the
first
gallery
to
show
the
regularly
the
multiple
works
of
many
different
artists
and
they're.
Now
three
galleries
like
that,
following
our
pattern,
I,
don't
think
either.
One
of
us
would
have
wanted
to
open
a
business
in
downtown
without
the
DBA
and
the
support
of
tisha
Stiller
I.
Don't
think,
we've
had
the
courage
to
do
that.
I
We
owned
it
for
five
years
and
by
the
time
we
sold
it.
I
was
already
in
the
DBA
and
chairing
a
committee
and
I
was
too
involved
to
leave.
So
I've
remained
an
enthusiastic
supporter
of
downtown
I,
love,
downtown
and
I.
Think
right
now,
we're
kind
of
on
the
cusp
of
things
are
looking
really
good.
The
design
committee
does
the
art
work
and
that
flowers
and
holiday
decorations
and
we've
gone
from
being
a
city
that
looked
like,
looks
a
neat
place.
I
Somebody
ought
to
do
something
with
to
something
that
somebody
loves
and
people
are
really
working
on,
and
lots
and
lots
of
volunteers
have
gone
into
that.
I.
Think
right.
Now
is
the
time
that
we
really
need
to
push
forward
and
keep
going
with
this,
and
that
having
a
development
office
in
downtown
would
really
really
help
and
help
all
of
the
people
who've
been
volunteering
their
time
for
this.
For
so
long
and
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
there
aren't
any
thriving
cities
that
have
let
their
downtown's
erat.
You
can't
just
let
it
go.
I
Downtown's
are
more
important
than
that
and
anybody
who's
going
to
move
to
downtown
to
Bloomington
or
set
up
a
business
in
Bloomington
if
they
drove
down
Main
Street
and
turned
off
the
downtown
and
saw
what
it
looked
like
20
years
ago,
I
think
they
probably
run
the
other
way
if
they
come
now
and
look
as
though
this
is
a
thriving
downtown
right.
How
we
want
we
want
to
be
part
of
this,
so
I
think
this
is
really
an
important
development,
something
we
really
need
to
do.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
J
Excuse
me
Denise,
guess
key
I
love
it
six
one,
six
South
Clinton
Street
in
Bloomington.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
speak
tonight.
I
sincerely
appreciate
the
opportunity,
although
I'm
a
nervous
wreck.
This
is
not
my
comfort
zone,
so
this
will
not
be
formal
or
fancy,
probably
not
near
as
as
well
spoken,
as
those
have
talked
before
me,
but
I
just
jotted
down
some
thoughts.
I
am
in
support
of
the
downtown
Bloomington
Association
and
the
partnership
with
the
city.
J
The
DBA
is
very
helpful
in
organizing
partnerships
for
business
owners
in
the
area
of
marketing
advertising
and
special
events.
That's
what
I
do
for
our
family
business
and
having
Tricia
advocates
and
work
on
our
behalf
to
be
able
to
have
cooperative
advertising,
for
example,
we're
then
putting
money
into
the
pantograph
and
the
radio
stations
and
the
other
of
areas
there.
That
does
help,
but
I
wouldn't
be
able
to
do
that
without
them,
advocating
on
our
behalf
to
get
lower
prices
and
things
like
that.
We're
stronger
together.
J
You
know
it's
a
us
against
them
and
it
shouldn't
be
that
way,
and
it
doesn't
have
to
be
that
way
and
they
feel
like
the
money
that
comes
into
the
community
because
of
the
efforts
of
Tricia
and
then
DBA.
It
does
impact
the
entire
city
and
they
would
like
that
to
be
taken
into
consideration,
Tricia
and
the
role
as
a
DBA
later,
you
know
she's,
obviously
passionate
about
our
community.
She
dedicates
a
tremendous
amount
of
time,
energy,
heart
and
soul
into
strengthening
our
city
core
and
I.
J
Think
that
should
be
appreciated
and
applauded
and
recognized,
don't
hate
to
see
the
DBA
clothes
and
it
seems
like
we
might
be.
The
verge
of
that
leadership
is
critical,
but
often
unappreciated,
we're
fortunate
to
have
the
leadership
we
do
in
the
VBA
office,
but
also
in
the
City
Council
and
I.
Thank
you
for
that.
Every
community
has
naysayers,
whatever
the
civil,
civic
or
community
leaders
proposed
to
do
some
people
always
say
things
like
you
can't
do
it.
It
won't
work,
it
costs
too
much
or
we
tried.
J
That
already
and
know
is
a
very
powerful
word
in
a
small
community.
But
leaders
of
successful
communities
know
that,
yes,
there
is
an
even
more
powerful
word.
Yes
can
make
our
city
a
better
place
to
live
in,
to
look
at
to
work
in
and
to
visit
a
pessimist
fee
of
difficulty
in
every
opportunity.
An
optimist
sees
opportunity
in
every
difficulty.
Thank
you
for
your
time
in
service
to
our
city.
Thank.
K
While
we
watched
the
sprawl
that
was
occurring
on
the
edges
of
our
cities
and
towns
over
20
years
ago,
my
husband
and
I
believed
it
was
time
to
revive
our
city
center
and
we
invested
all
that
we
have
in
our
building
at
200,
West,
Monroe
and
other
development
projects
downtown,
not
just
financially
but
emotionally
as
well.
We
brought
our
home
our
families,
our
businesses,
downtown
we've
grown
Fox
and
Hounds
to
nearly
50
employees.
We've
created
three
floors
of
offices
and
nine
at
additional
residential
living
spaces
in
our
building.
K
We
believe
that
a
renaissance
that
was
about
to
happen
in
Bloomington,
as
was
happening
throughout
many
cities
in
the
United
States.
Well,
we've
watched
the
extremely
slow
progress
over
those
20
years.
Many
property
owners
that
held
on
to
their
beautiful
architectural
historic
buildings
have
continued
to
believe,
as
we
do
that
it's
now
time
for
the
revival
to
flourish,
there
has
been
only
one
serious
flaw
holding
us
back
downtown
over
the
years.
That
has
been
the
lack
of
vision
and
the
lack
of
support
by
city
leaders.
I.
K
Believe
we've
now
overcome
that
with
a
mayor
and
a
city
council
that
understands
when
you
let
the
heart
of
a
city
languish,
the
whole
city
will
suffer.
Our
downtown
is
the
heart
of
the
community.
So
I
would
ask
you:
why?
Would
you
not
include
it
in
the
Community
Development
Division
I
would
encourage
you
this
evening
to
transition
the
DBA
and
its
current
leadership
with
their
lists
of
successes
into
the
Community
Development
Division
of
our
city
government.
K
This
will
show
that
the
the
confidence
that
you
have
in
the
heart
of
this
city
and
the
office
that
has
been
the
driving
force
behind
it
in
the
past.
It
will
also
say
to
the
citizens.
We
believe
we
have
a
great
community
with
much
to
offer.
We
can
economically
be
stronger
by
supporting
further
development
and
redevelopment
in
the
downtown.
Thank
you.
B
Downtown
was
the
place
to
be
when
I
had
the
opportunity
to
open
a
business
in
downtown
I
jumped
at
the
chance.
As
most
of
you
know,
I
have
owned
the
Bistro
for
almost
25
years
and
I
also
owned
a
little
restaurant
called
Lancaster's
for
16
years,
along
with
many
people
in
this
room,
I
have
been
involved
in
almost
every
downtown
task
force
and
organization
that
is
now
known
as
the
downtown
Bloomington
Association
I
can
consider
Trisha
Stiller
a
Wonder
Woman
for
accomplishing
as
much
as
she
has
on
such
a
shoestring
budget.
B
Our
farmers
market
is
rated
one
of
the
top
in
the
state
of
Illinois,
with
the
help
of
Kathryn
Dunlap.
It
continues
to
grow.
We
have
established
First
Fridays,
which
brings
hundreds
of
people
to
our
downtown
and
highlights
our
artists
and
businesses
notice,
our
beautiful
murals,
and
now
our
traffic
control
boxes
that
are
getting
some
press.
These
are
just
a
few
of
the
many
things
the
downtown
Bloomington
Association
is
responsible,
for
this
was
all
done
again
on
a
very
limited
budget.
B
A
A
A
F
A
L
Thank
you
very
much
mayor
pro-tem,
it's
nice
to
be
up
in
front
of
you
again
this
time,
we're
going
to
be
talking
about
the
gross
in
your
motors
arena
and
I
want
to
introduce
Russ
Waller
to
give
us
some
details
of
this
before
I.
Do
I
want
to
preface
it
by
saying
that
two
things?
First
of
all
you
see
on
the
sign.
It
says
a
u.s.
Colosseum
on
the
picture,
even
though
it's
grossing
your
motors
arena
and
throughout
these
documents,
there's
referred
to
a
lot
of
times
as
a
US,
Cellular
Coliseum.
L
Secondly,
what
we're
talking
about
today
is
going
to
be
the
sidewalk
and
ramp
modifications,
but
the
city
manager
and
I
also
asked
Russ
to
mention
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
done
already
and
some
of
the
things
that
we
have
yet
to
do
to
conform
to
the
Attorney
General's
requirements
that
we
make
this
88
compliant.
So
we'll
be
talking
about
the
sidewalk
and
ramp
modifications,
but
we'll
mention
a
couple
of
the
other
things
that
have
been
done
and
are
yet
to
be
done.
L
Also,
there's
two
pieces
to
this:
there's
the
sidewalk
modification,
but
then
there
is
also
to
it
an
alternative
to
add
in
ballers
for
safety
because
of
the
accident-prone
nature
of
this
area,
which
is
an
options.
The
council
can't
adopt
and
I'm
going
to
ask
Russ
Waller,
then
to
come
up
and
walk
us
through
those
procedures
for
your
consideration.
Thank
You,
Russ.
D
Well,
thank
your
mayor.
Pro-Tem
has
absolute
counsel.
I
probably
can
just
sit
down
after
that
prayer
opening
I
pretty
much
went
through
most
my
presentation,
but
I
will
go
through
it
and
maybe
hit
a
little
more
details
and
assistant
city
manager.
Rasmussen
said
so.
One
thing
he
didn't
mention
is
throughout
this
presentation.
You
will
see
the
Coliseum
mentioned
and
pictures
of
it,
and
hopefully
I'll
refer
to
it
as
arena,
but
I
still
catch
myself
still
calling
it
the
Coliseum.
So.
D
There
we
go,
whoops
I
jumped
the
slide
so
yeah.
Tonight's
main
emphasis
is
for
the
arena,
the
sidewalk
and
ramp
improvements
and
just
a
quick
overview.
There
is
basically
this
shows
the
the
areas
of
the
sidewalks
that
are
non-compliant
and
the
ad
a
ramp
on
the
north
side.
That
we'll
be
talking
about
a
little
later,
but
I
did
want
to
spend
this
time
now
to
kind
of
go
over
work,
that's
been
completed
and
then
a
little
bit
of
work
that
we
still
have
yet
to
do
so.
D
Work
I'm,
not
going
over
everything
I'm
just
going
to
hit
the
highlights.
So
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we've
done
has
been
interior
to
the
locker
rooms.
A
lot
of
the
locker
rooms
did
not
have
any
idiot
compliant
benches.
Anything
that
you
do
for
a
able-bodied
person.
You
also
have
to
provide
for
someone
that
is
a
disadvantaged.
So,
as
you
see
in
the
pictures,
basically,
the
home
team
locker
room
has
the
cubby
holes
or
cubbies
that
we
like
to
call
them
all
of
those
are
for
able
a
lot
of
persons.
D
We
did
have
to
build
one
for
a
TA
standards.
The
guest
locker
rooms
same
thing,
the
benches
that
were
there
to
the
left,
the
pre-construction
shows
what
was
existing
and
there
was
an
attempt
to
provide
some
ATA
compliant
with
the
wider
bench
there
on
the
left,
but
that
is
did
not
meet
the
requirements.
D
What
you
see
on
the
post
construction
is
what
actually
meets
the
requirements
you
have
to
have
a
shelf
similar
to
what's
provided
for
an
able-bodied
person
and
as
well
as
a
clear
zone,
what's
clearly
identified
there
for
a
wheelchair
to
fit
in
stick
them
back
in.
We
also
did
a
lot
of
work
in
the
showers,
so
here
you're,
looking
at
a
single
shower
room,
the
pre-construction
just
shows
the
push
button
with
a
showerhead,
not
a
DA
compliant
you
needed
to
provide
a
will
shower.
So
someone
in
a
wheelchair
could
pull
the
showerhead
down.
D
You
also
had
to
install
the
the
grab
bars.
We
also
have
multi
person
shower
rooms
over
there.
The
pre-construction
photo
scene
shows
one
of
the
showers
with
like
it's
a
six
units
shower
the
conversion
there
to
make
an
ad
a
compliant
is
we
had
to
provide
some
separation,
there's
handrails
added
and
then
kind
of
someone
visible
at
the
top
of
the
photo,
but
it
also
does
have
that
88
compliant
showerhead,
so
that
was
the
what's
been
completed
now,
for
future
is
the
elevator
that
we've
hired
a
consultant
to
design
for
us.
D
D
So
what
you
see
is
the
elevator
shaft,
it's
a
little
wider
at
the
bottom,
because
we're
using
this
opportunity
to
provide
some
additional
storage
that
many
works
is
indicated
there
in
desperate
need
of,
and
so
the
the
set
of
doors
you'll
see
there
in
the
photo
or
the
exhibit
is
for
that
storage.
The
actual
elevator
is
the
two
storage
elevator.
That
would
basically
take
patrons
from
the
event
level
to
the
concourse
level,
and
access
will
be
from
the
inside
of
the
Colosseum.
You
don't
have
to
go
outside
to
get
to
the
elevator.
D
D
So
here's
a
summary
of
kind
of
the
costs
we
spent
to
date.
Some
of
this
work
was
a
considerable
portion
of
the
work
was
performed
in-house
by
facility
staff
about
$31,000,
basically
just
in
materials.
We
don't
have
labor
included
in
that
the
external
work
would
be
includes
the
showers
the
80s
showers
were
done.
We
had
to
hire
a
plumber
for
that.
Work
also
includes
the
design
costs
for
the
elevator
and
for
the
sidewalk
repairs.
D
Then
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
later
on
and
it
includes
the
modifications
that
were
proposed
in
the
night
for
the
sidewalk
actual
construction,
so
grand
total
of
eight
about
three
hundred
fifty
one
thousand
dollars
and
then
the
estimated
future
cost
is
essentially
for
the
elevator
about
four
hundred
fifty
thousand
dollars
which
our
design
consultant
has
given
us
just
to
date.
So
now,
moving
back
to
the
sidewalk
and
ramp
modifications,
the
same
picture
I
showed
you
before
I
just
wanted
to
pay
particular
attention
to
the
sidewalk
along
Madison
Street.
D
Not
all
of
that
sidewalk
has
to
be
replaced,
but
a
substantial
portion
does,
and
that
was
not
known
when
we
did
the
budgeting
for
this
work.
We
had
some
general
idea,
but
until
we
actually
hired
the
consultant
had
them
do
all
the
survey
work
and
give
us
the
actual
extent
we
weren't
quite
sure,
so
some
of
that
is
not
not
have
to
be
removed
and
replaced,
but
a
substantial
portion
does
so.
D
This
gives
you
a
few
show
photos
essentially
of
the
areas
the
upper-left
photo
is
essentially
right
in
front
of
the
Colosseum
or
the
arena
along
Madison
Street.
The
upper
right
is
the
it's
not
a
ramp,
it's
more
of
just
a
sidewalk
that
goes
along
the
south
side
of
the
arena
and
then
also
in
that
same
picture,
you'll
see
the
smoking
area
just
on
the
back
side
of
the
arena.
That
is
also
non-compliant,
and
then
the
bottom
photo
is
the
actual
ad
a
ramp
on
the
north
side
of
the
building.
That
is
not
component
either.
D
So
after
we
discovered
that
a
substantial
portion
of
the
sidewalk
along
Madison
Street
needed
to
be
removed.
We
looked
at
this
opportunity
as
a
potential
to
provide
some
safety
improvements
that
we
think
are
appropriate
and
that's
what
was
included
in
tonight's
bid
or
the
bid
that
went
out
that
I'll
be
discussed,
and
so
this
gives
you
an
idea
of
the
number
of
people
that
gather
along
Madison
Street
to
enter
an
event.
Just
multiple
pictures
of
the
same
thing.
D
D
Just
a
little
bit
of
the
move
on
to
the
next
one,
so
here's
a
conceptual
draft
plan
of
what
the
barriers
that
we're
proposing
that
we're
included
in
the
bid,
essentially
they're
stainless-steel
bollards-
that
are
spaced
about
five
foot
apart
and
intermittent
and
is
really
intermittent,
but
a
stand
like
every
fifth
one
will
be
a
lighted,
bollard
just
be
able
to
see
it
and
it
gives
a
little
more
aesthetic.
So
the
reason
we
looked
at
that
is,
we
did
go
back
and
look
at
the
accident.
D
D
So,
in
the
past
10
years
that
the
arena
has
been
open,
there's
been
91
accidents
between
front
and
Olive
Street.
So
in
that
block
where
the
arena
sets
there's
been
91
accidents,
16
were
right
in
front
of
the
arena
and
of
those
16.
Most
of
them
were
rear-end
we're
in
hits
essentially,
because
people
dropping
off
we
haven't.
The
data
doesn't
actually
show
why
they
were
the
accident
occurred,
but
our
suspicion,
based
on
just
watching
the
activity
that
occurs
there,
is
that
people
are
dropping
off
patrons
stop
and
to
do
that
or
pick
up
patrons.
D
We
had
to
replace
a
couple
years
ago
because
it
was
actually
taken
out
by
a
car
I'll
also
talk
to
venue,
works
and
they've
said
that
some
of
the
prior
staff
are
existing
staff
that
were,
there
was
managed
by
the
prior
company
said
a
lot
of
the
planters
that
are
along.
There
have
been
hit
on
occasion,
so
there
is
some
history
of
some
accidents.
Thank
goodness
no
one's
been
injured,
but
we
thought
this
is
definite
opportunity
to
be
able
to
add
some
safety
improvements.
D
So
the
last
slide
here
essentially
is
a
summary
of
the
costs.
The
actual
ad
a
required
improvements
that
need
to
be
done
are
one
hundred
thirteen
thousand
two
hundred
seventy
five
dollars
the
alternatives
that
were
bid
as
we
bid
a
m50
rated
bollards,
which
essentially
that's
a
50
mile-an-hour
rating.
So
a
car
traveling
at
50
mile
an
hour
will
be
stopped
by
those
bollards
and
then
we
also
bid
the
m30
rating
they're,
pretty
pricey.
D
We
thought
that
would
definitely
cover
it,
as,
as
you
can
see
it
did
cover
the
sidewalk
work,
however,
did
not
cover
the
safety
improvements,
so
we're
still
recommending
that,
with
a
budget
amendment
to
take
care
of
the
safety,
need
and
use
the
opportunity
that
we
have
in
front
of
us
so
for
the
sidewalk
Devery
removed
to
provide
some
additional
safety
and
some
aesthetic
enhancements.
Any
questions
and.
A
A
M
A
H
J
A
L
D
L
Yes,
what
I
said
was
there
are
a
number
of
projects
that
we
would
like
to
take
on,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
have
been
working
with
a
volunteer
task
force
in
the
city
was
the
subject
of
homelessness.
We
have
not
got
anybody
in
the
staff
who
has
been
assigned
that
project,
but
this
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
give
to
the
DDD
to
work
on
that
as
one
of
their
things
on
their
to-do
list.
Could.
F
L
Yes,
what
happens
is
as
a
part
of
our
discussions.
We
recognize
that
there
are
people
to
have
a
right
to
be
on
the
street,
but
also
there
are
problems
with
businesses
and
with
families
that
shop
downtown,
and
so
what
we
would
like
to
do
is
is
kind
of
limit
that
a
little
and
try
to
remove
some
of
the
more
offensive
aspects
of
that,
and
so
there
are
some
things
that
we
have
been
working
on.
For
example,
one
suggestion
has
been
made
that
we
work
towards
perhaps
making
public
restrooms
downtown
so
homeless.
L
People
are
not
trying
to
go
into
businesses
to
use
the
restrooms.
Another
thing
that
we
have
talked
about
is
providing
more
information
to
homeless
people
about
the
services
that
are
provided
by
different
places
on
town
we've
had
a
lot
of
trouble
with
the
homeless
homeless,
people
taking
a
possession
of
some
of
our
benches.
L
All
of
these
things
are
issues
that
can
be
worked
to
try
to
make
it
fair
and
legal
for
everyone
to
try
to
help
the
people
who
are
perhaps
down
on
their
luck,
but
also
to
provide
some
facilities
that
might
make
the
downtown
have
an
appearance
of
more
cleanliness
and
safety.
For
people
who
visit
our
downtown,
and
one
of
the
things
we
would
do
is
I
would
assign
that
specifically
as
a
task
for
the
the
dhih
dhih
dhih
to
work
on
as
part
of
the
the
community
development
division.
Okay,.
F
L
F
L
A
A
Under
check
and
seconded
by
alderman
Hellman
continued
conversation
I
just
wanted
to
maybe
make
a
torch
hold
room.
Little
boys
requests
about
grants,
I
think
in
talking
with
mr.
Rasmussen
they'll,
be
putting
together
of
goals
and
goals
to
work
towards
and
I
would
think
that
the
perhaps
grants
grants
would
be
would
be
part
of
that
and
perhaps
even
a
target
amount
for.
Yes,.
L
A
P
You
and
in
it,
so
let
me
start
off
by
saying:
I
want
to
publicly
thank
Tricia,
because
and
Tricia
knows
that
every
occasion
I
have
to
interact
with
her
I,
always
thank
her
for
everything
that
she
does
and
and
I
even
had
a
chance
to
to
just
briefly
chat
with
her
before
their
meeting
tonight.
To
say
you
know,
Tricia
I'm,
going
to
ask
some
questions,
I'm
going
to
say
some
things
that
please
don't
interpret
that
as
as
not
having
anything
but
the
utmost
respect
for
you.
P
So
thanks
for
all
you
do
because
that
is
seen
by
all
so
in
a
minute.
I'll
be
voting
against
this
proposal
and
and
I
recognize
I'll
probably
be
in
a
minority,
but
I
want
to
reiterate
something
that
we
talked
about
in
the
work
session,
and
that
is
this
idea
that
what
I
was
suggesting
and
and
quite
honestly,
staff
validated
that
they
hadn't
looked
at
this
and
that's
okay
was
this
idea
of.
P
P
I
see
this
as
just
a
different
way
to
do
that
that
that,
along
with
another
comment
that
was
suggested
during
the
work
session,
that
when
we
make
these
mid-year
budget
amendment
adjustments,
I'm
always
concerned
about
about
the
practice
of
that
and
and
yeah
I
think
that
was
worth
noting
and
and
again,
I'll
say
again,
something
that
we've
talked
about
and
then
I
know
we're
not
losing
sight
of
it,
but
but
I'm
sensing
that
that
things
will
continue
to
start
to
get
critical
mass
around
us
around
the
reality.
Not
the
not
the
forecast,
not
the
estimation.
P
The
reality
of
a
coming
multi-million
dollar
structural
deficit
within
within
the
city,
and
that
when
we
talk
about
the
need,
as
we
did
earlier
here,
which
is
the
Coliseum
where
we're
going
to
kind
of
move,
approximately
370,000
dollars,
I
think
out
of
the
general
fund
to
cover
that
we
need
to
do
that.
Absolutely
there
will
be
a
partial
if
this
has
approved
a
partial
budget
amendment
and
then
right
on
the
heels
of
that,
then,
as
I
would
understand
it,
an
additional
approximately
quarter
million
dollars
of
a
year
to
fund
the
DDD
going
forward.
P
These
are
all
things
that
that
continue
to
suggest
you're,
really
harsh
reality
and
some
coming
really
hard
decisions
for
us
to
make.
So
what
I'm
trying
to
do
is
to
balance
those
aspects
as
well
as
trying
to
create
some
opportunities
for
the
downtown
to
move
forward.
So
just
wanted
to
share
that
explanation.
Appreciate
that
Mayor
Pro
Tem
thank.
A
You
thanks
and
I
appreciate
the
ideas
that
were
brought
up.
The
suggestions
that
some
of
my
fellow
aldermen
had
during
the
special
session
earlier,
but
I
feel
feel
we
need
to
move
forward
on
this.
We
have
85
to
90
percent
of
the
information
we
need
I
believe
to
make
a
decision
and
I
believe.
The
information
that
we've
been
presented
is
valid
also
believe
that
thriving
downtown
will
help
our
economy
and
our
economic
growth
and
I'll
be
voting
in
favor
of
the
motion.
Thank
you.
I
think
we're
ready
actually
can.
F
F
Okay,
yeah
so
and
and
I
think
some
of
the
the
questions
that
I
asked.
You
know
as
far
as
the
answers
that
I
got
tell
me
that
this
is
now
a
hundred
percent,
ready
and
and
I
think
we
we
do
need
to
explore
a
little
bit
more
and,
in
my
opinion,
I
certainly
appreciate
the
perspective
that
was
provided
by
a
number
of
people
up
here
during
during
comment.
F
That
gave
me
a
good
sense
of
the
history
of
the
downtown
and
and
how
much
those
individuals
were
themselves
into
the
downtown
and
to
the
point
where
I
think:
where
property
was,
you
know
some
of
the
property
you
know
could
have
been
dilapidated
or
we're
seeing
you
know
less
tax
revenue
from
those
properties,
but
those
individuals
made
a
pretty
significant
investment
in
property
and
so
I.
You
know
as
much
as
I'd
like
to
be
supportive,
but
I
I'm
a
little
hesitant.
F
So,
from
my
perspective,
if
we
we
had
an
opportunity
to
explore
all
those
possibilities,
we
could
possibly
come
up
with
a
a
a
better
proposal,
but
I
I
I
I
do
not
disagree.
You
know
with
others
on
the
council.
I
think
we
as
much
as
you
know,
the
property
owners
there
has
have
made
an
investment.
We
also
need
to
to
show
that
the
city
believes
in
the
downtown,
but
I
think
we
need
to
fine-tune
this
a
little
bit
more.
Thank
you.
A
Q
R
Evening,
mayor,
pro-tem
and
city
council
I
feel
like
this
is
a
broken
record
with
Hamilton
Road
I've
been
here
multiple
times
before
you
and
we're
thankful
to
be
here
again,
hopefully
tonight
to
continue
the
ball
moving
forward
that
many
times
in
the
past.
Well,
the
ball
began
in
1990s.
You
can
see,
as
we've
shown
before
you.
We
think
these
are
some
great
graphics
to
show
the
investment
that
the
city
has
already
made
on
this
20
in
this
new
century.
You
can
continue
to
see
additional
investments
by
our
council
in
a
southern,
east-west
arterial
road.
R
That
really
has
some
additional
benefits
that
we'll
talk
about
the
funding
for
this
to
this
point
is
36.3
million
dollars
we
spent
on
this
road
there's
one
section
this
is
left
remain
and
that's
what
we're
trying
to
move
forward
with
tonight.
We'll
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
some
excellent
news.
The
funding
that
we've
shared
with
you
before,
but
the
good
thing
to
remind
ourselves
of,
is
why
we're
doing
this?
It's
not
just
about
the
the
traffic
flow.
We
also
have
a
dangerous
intersection.
It
only
difficult
dangerous
that
roads
lane.
R
Anybody
who
travels
that
realizes
the
hardships
of
trying
to
make
a
left
turn
on
roads
lane
on
the
route
150
there's
a
very
challenging,
very
challenging
Road.
We
talked
about
the
potential
for
jobs.
This
fits
correct
right
into
our
comprehensive
plan.
It
is
a
direct
fit
that
it
is
called
a
great
improvement
to
it.
This
opens
up
different
economic
development
in
this
area.
It
is
a
tier
two
area,
but
it
does
improve
our
ability
to
be
able
to
serve
this
area
next.
This
isn't
just
a
an
area
for
cars.
R
Right
now
we
have
a
great
Constitution
trail
that
dead-ends
at
bun
Street.
We
there
is
no
way
to
really
convey
you've
got
a
long
term
investment
along
Constitution
trail.
That
goes
nowhere,
and
this
continues
that
for
both
bicycles
and
pedestrians,
to
be
able
to
connect
that
up
with
existing
from
the
west
to
the
east
and
then
other
is
bus
routes.
Whenever
you
talk
about
bus
routes,
south
of
Lincoln,
there
are
no
east-west
bus
routes.
Currently
they
cannot
traverse
that
intersection
of
roads
Lane
on
to
route
150.
R
So,
by
continuing
this
and
improving
this,
we
really
were
hoping,
but
then
that
bus
will
open
up
some
bus
routes
in
the
future
as
they
look
to
expand
and
open
their
markets.
Why
are
we
not
looking
at
an
overpass
and
underpass?
Why
has
staff
recommended
an
at-grade
well
honestly,
money
when
you're
talking
about
ten
million
dollars
additional
at
least
worth
of
money?
That's
a
lot
of
funds
we're
trying
to
save
in
the
past.
We
have
not
thought
we
could
get
this
done.
R
Thankfully,
this
is
one
of
the
first
time
since
I've
been
at
the
city
in
2000.
We've
made
a
shot
at
this
when
I
first
got
here
in
2000
2008,
we
made
another
shot
at
Hamilton
Road
to
try
to
get
this
built.
This
is
the
third
time
we're
trying
to
get
this
through
the
the
railroad
and
this
time
there
is
a
partnership.
There's
an
openness
for
us
to
have
an
at-grade.
R
If
we
look
at
additional
closings
of
two
crossings
that
we
can
look
at
moving
forward
to
that,
there's
some
flexibility
with
that,
but
we
do
have
they're
estimating
about
15,000
vehicles
a
day
once
this
opens
up.
That
does
improve
things
along
Veterans,
Parkway
and
again
for
people
who
live
along
the
southern
part
and
the
western
part
of
the
community,
the
southwestern
part
of
this
community.
This
helps
them
to
be
able
to
get
to
some
major
places
where
they
want
to
go.
There
is
a
timeline.
We
have
a
project
timeline.
R
We
can
get
this
underway
in
the
2020
timeframe
and
have
it
completed
even
at
the
end
of
2021,
the
some
of
the
things
that
are
some
new
information.
That
is
a
really
positive
thing
is
we
now
have
secured
80%
federal
funding
for
the
majority
of
the
project.
That's
that's
a
game-changer.
You,
as
a
council
know,
you've
approved
us
going
for
grants
for
Fastlane
we've
gone
for
amazing.
Every
type
of
grant
that
we
possibly
could
qualify
for.
We've
tried
multiple
years
and
it
is.
We
have
not
been
able
to
secure,
very
difficult
grant
funding.
Well.
R
Finally,
through
the
federal
aid
urban
funding
through
our
metropolitan
organization,
McClain
County
Regional
Planning
facilitates
that
MPO
process
we've
been
able
to
secure
that
it
is.
It
is
designated
in
the
transportation
improvement
plan
five
years,
so
they
are
planning
on
that
funding.
Coming
to
the
city
of
Wilmington
for
this
project,
with
some
caveats
we
have
to
as
a
city
be
able
to
show,
we
continue
to
be
behind
this
project,
and
so,
whenever
we
talk
about
the
there
we
go.
R
So
whenever
we
talk
about
this
this
project,
what
we're
asking
for
tonight
is
for
you
to
support
a
resolution.
Well,
whenever
we
look
at
the
overall
funding
of
just
the
road,
if
it's
just
over
ten
million
dollars,
20
percent
of
that
is
just
over
two
million
dollars.
We're
asking
for
your
support
for
a
resolution
tonight,
there's
nothing
magical
about
that.
What
that
tells
the
railroad
is,
then
we
as
a
staff
will
begin
negotiations
with
them
for
this
at-grade.
We
have
to
secure
that
we
have
to
get
this
to
the
Illinois
Commerce
Commission.
R
So
there's
a
partnership
if
the
city
in
the
railroad
mutually
come
together
and
go
to
the
ICC
and
say
we're
on
the
same
page,
we're
working
together,
it'll
happen
well,
there's
other
times
when
the
I
will
have
contested
petitions
with
the
Illinois
Commerce
Commission,
those
take
longer
they're,
not
guaranteed
they're
much
harder
to
do.
We
have
a
chance
to
have
an
uncontested,
Illinois
Commerce
petition.
That
is,
that
is
a
great
thing
that
I
haven't
seen
in
my
time
at
the
safe.
R
So
what
we're
looking
at
I
don't
want
to
dunder
sell
it,
though
we
do
have
some
unsure
cost.
We
have
we
do
know.
We
have
to
relocate
some
some
more
side
rails
right
now.
There
are
multiple
tracks
that
have
to
be
crossed.
Some
of
those
have
to
be
relocated.
The
estimate
is
4
to
4.5
million
dollars,
we'll
be
narrowing
that
down.
So
where
would
that
funding
come
from
we'd
be
looking
city
manager?
R
It
doesn't
hurt
any
of
the
work
that
we
have
on
sewers
or
other
work,
but
if
this
continues
to
be
one
of
those
major
projects,
we
as
a
community
to
the
benefits
of
we're
asking
for
your
continued
support
of
it
through
this
resolution,
so
that
we
have
your
support
to
go
to
the
railroad
to
continue
negotiations
with
that,
I
will
point
out.
Kurt
baile
brusky
is
with
Hanson
engineers,
he's
a
project
engineer
for
them,
and
he
is
our
main
point
person
there.
He
is
he
moved
on
me.
R
He
was
back
in
the
back
before
so
he'll
be
presenting
in
just
a
little
bit
on
another
work
that
they've
done.
Our
streets
master
plan
is
item
aetyi,
but
in
this
case
he
also
is
one
of
the
consultants
that's
worked
on
this
throughout.
So
there
are
specific
questions
he's
also
here.
The
last
thing
I'd
like
to
point
out
is
this
federal
aid.
Urban
funding
is
nothing
new
to
the
city.
We
have
used
this
if
you
went
back
to
that
map.
R
H
P
A
A
F
D
Council
has
seen
this
project
in
several
forms
before
a
couple.
Different
iterations
and
tonight's
discussion
was
about
two
items.
First
of
all,
adapting
an
ordinance
that
approves
the
determination
of
a
three
of
the
original
three
party
agreement
from
2007
and
then,
secondly,
approving
an
amended
preliminary
plan.
Now
these
items
need
to
be
considered
together,
they're
not
separate,
and
that's
why
they're
presented
to
you
in
a
single
item
on
the
on
the
agenda.
As
I
mentioned,
the
original
agreement
goes
back
to
2007.
The
city
was
a
one
of
the
members
of
the
three
parties.
D
The
other
two
currently
are
are
HP
and
RZ
are
ours.
P
is
requesting
that
the
previously
amended
agreement
be
dissolved
so
that
they
can
provide
instead
of
a
public
road
and
a
public
water
main
a
private
drive
and
a
private
water
service
and
RZR
is
looking
to
terminate
the
agreement
so
that
they
can
purchase
a
portion.
The
southern
portion
of
the
Eagle
view
south
commercial
subdivision,
free
of
any
of
those
original
requirements.
D
Now
this
is
actually
important
for
them,
because
the
this
will
allow
RZR
to
gain
some
depth
to
their
properties
and
it
makes
it
much
more
marketable,
much
more
likely
to
get
a
high
quality
development
on
the
northeast
corner
of
tawanda
barns,
and
just
thank
you
to
erode.
I
just
threw
a
blank
on
that
the
so
we
do
have
in
conjunction
with
that.
We've
got
the
amended
preliminary
plan.
Several
departments
have
looked
at
this.
It
took
a
lot
of
going
back
and
forth,
but
we
have
something
that
we're
very
comfortable
with
now.
D
A
Motion
I
would
move
that
we
adopt
an
ordinance
approving
the
termination
of
a
three
party
agreement
pertaining
to
a
portion
of
Eagle
view
self
commercial
subdivision
and
approve
the
amended
preliminary
plan
and
title
revision
to
to
a
portion
of
the
Eagle
view.
South
commercial
subdivision,
preliminary
plan,
Bloomington
Illinois.
Thank
you,
sir.
A
R
Mayor
and
city
council,
we'll
just
we'll,
introduce
the
I'll
introduce
to
you
tonight.
Curt
baile,
brusky
I,
already
pointed
him
out
to
you
in
the
crowd.
He
is
our
project
engineer
from
Hanson
he'll,
be
taking
you
through
an
overview
of
the
project
and
trying
to
kind
of
address
preliminary
questions
that
you
have
I'll,
let
mr.
baile
brusky
take
it
from
here.
Thanks.
E
Jim
Mayor
Pro
temp
alder,
opening
manager
Hills
thanks
for
giving
us
the
opportunity
to
come
tonight
and
talk
to
talk
about
some
of
this
work.
I'll
try
to
keep
it
a
little
short,
and
so
we
can
save
most
of
the
discuss
time
for
discussion
at
the
end,
but
I
want
to
hit
some
of
the
highlights
of
some
of
the
things
that
we've
done
over
the
time
here.
So
you
see
here,
forgive
me
for
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
use
this
alright.
E
So
just
to
start
out
what
I
wanted
to
do
is
go
through
a
little
bit
of
the
history.
Talk
about
some
of
the
public
input
that
we
received
started
off
with
Public
Works
staff
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
project
that
that
was
really
to
gauge,
like
just
a
smattering
of
projects
that
they
hear
from
constituents
from
Council
for
Alderman
and
just
everyone
in
general
of
what
does
the
city
need?
Where
do
we
need
better
transportation,
whether
that's
pedestrians,
bicycles
vehicles?
Where
do
we
have
some
freight
moving
where
we're
gonna
have
some
businesses?
E
How
does
what
does
the
lane
just
look
like?
We
took
a
list
of
about
20
projects
plus
or
minus
two,
a
public
meeting
at
that
point
and
ask
for
more
input
from
the
from
constituents,
the
idea
being
that
the
taxpayer
uses
the
system.
The
taxpayer
knows
where
the
problems
are
at.
The
taxpayer
has
an
idea
as
to
where
it
needs
to
be
narrowed.
Where
we
need
bicycles,
where
we
need
pedestrians,
we're
also
do
we
need
to
expand
or
maybe
connect
some
different
parts
of
the
city.
E
The
from
from
that
point,
we
we
had
it,
but
we
put
in
a
public
survey.
We
handed
out
copies
there
at
that
meeting.
We
also
engage
them
online
to
say
we're.
You
know,
keep
giving
us
input,
keep
giving
us
feedback.
As
to
you
know,
as
you
see
things
as
we
go,
what
we
came
up
with
that
we
were
hoping
for
a
list
of
20
to
25
projects.
We
actually
came
up
with
a
list
of
about
27
I
think
it
was
I.
E
Think
at
one
point
we
had
28,
but
it
ended
up
being
a
list
of
27
different
projects,
I
believe
some
of
them.
You
know
they
kind
of
buried.
You
know
across
the
board,
but
the
idea
from
that
point
was,
as
we
brought
that
list
of
council
of
projects
back
to
the
City
Council
and
said
hey.
You
know
this
is
what
this
is.
What
the
folks
are
saying.
This
is
what
they're
you
know
we're
seeing
on
the
system.
E
We
have
to
fix
it
well,
given
current
funding
levels
and
things.
What
prioritizing
based
on
importance
essentially
means
is
what
we
want
to
try
to
provide
some
big
data
type
results
to
folks
through
the
use
of
benefit
cost
ratios
that
you
know
provide,
say
the
safe
and
efficient
transportation,
but
also
ensure
safe
and
efficient
transportation.
So
that's
the
that's
the
biggest
thing.
So
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
really
figure
out
what
roads,
what
bridges
have
the
most
effect
on
safe
and
efficient
transportation?
E
I
you
like
to
use
the
analogy
of
when
your
house,
when
your
house
has
maybe
a
leaky,
roof
or
the
windows
or
kind
of
all,
do
you
need
to
replace
them,
which
one
would
you
which?
What
do
you
do?
Well,
you
have
two
major
things
that
you
have
to
do
at
once.
The
idea-
and
you
know
for
me
if
I'm
got
a
leak,
your
area,
if
I'm
fixing
the
roof
before
I,
go
and
keep
my
windows
from
keep
the
you
know:
cold
air
and
the
winter
from
blowing
on
my
windows.
E
So
that's
kind
of
the
idea
there
is.
We
need
to
start
thinking
about
this,
especially
as
funds
are
so
limited.
So
what
we
do
is
we
sign
a
value,
and
these
are
values
of
accepted
by
the
by
the
federal
highway
department
by
the
Illinois
Department
of
Transportation,
for
basically
the
benefit
of
avoiding
adverse
travel.
So
that
means
you
know
putting
in
new
roads
or
keeping
certain
roads
opened
from
closure
and
then
also
preventing
crashes.
E
E
It
allows
us
to
figure
out
what
the
total
cost
of
a
project
is
over
a
certain
number
of
years,
and
in
this
case
we
use
a
50-year
life
cycle,
assuming
that
basically
20
whatever
year
that
we
start
at
is
when
we
are,
and
so
we
know
where
we're
at
and
the
wife
of
that
pavement
or
that
road.
So
some
of
the
benefits
for
prioritizing
by
importance
is
what
it
really
does.
Is
it
really
shows
you
some
real
important
and
critical
type
projects?
E
You
know
things
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
maintain
that
we
keep
open
that
we
that
we
need
for
the
for
the
economic
expansion
of
the
city.
So
you
consider
things
like
the
tier
1
and
tier
2
economic
zones,
and
also
what
it
does
is
allows
a
lot
of
engineering
staff
planners
to
communicate
with
all
the
room
and
say
you
know
if
you
look
at
this
economically
to
as
far
as
the
benefit
to
the
taxpayer,
to
the
societal
benefits.
These
are
some
of
the
this
is
the
benefit
cost
ratio.
E
This
project
has
now
keep
in
mind
that
these
aren't
necessarily
a
hundred
percent
numbers,
some
economic,
the
economic
expansion
numbers.
That
would
happen
if
you
like,
if
you
put
in
a
new
roadway,
for
instance,
with
Hamilton
Road,
there's
a
lot
of
ground
surrounding
it
that
something
that
goes
undeveloped,
that
we,
you
know
that
we
just
talked
about
it-
was
shown
on
Jim's
map,
so
that
the
additional
tax
revenues
and
things
that
come
off
of
that
aren't
necessarily
in
that
number.
This
is
just
purely
from
a
transportation.
Safe
and
efficient
transportation
perspective.
E
So
this
kind
of
just
the
qualitative
and
quantitative
so
looking
at
it
in
terms
of
quantitatively
there's
a
there's,
a
dollar
amount,
the
only
Department
of
Transportation
and
the
Federal
Highway
Administration
put
to
prevent
the
cost
of
preventing
crashes.
So
essentially,
if
there's
more
of
a
injury
to
a
crash
it,
actually
it
cost
a
little
bit
more
to
the
economy
into
the
public
public
sector
for
having
to
deal
with
that.
E
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're-
including
maybe
a
little
bit
extra
here
and
there
to
be
able
to
to
make
sure
that
we're
not
you
know
coming
up
short
later
on.
As
we
start
looking
and
considering
about
you
know
what
were
the
2016
costs
so
we
want,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
coordinating
with
the
sidewalk
plan.
E
So
the
types
of
projects
we
look
at
maintenance
projects,
whether
it's
overlaying
virtual
mill
and
fill
surface
treatments,
pavement
preservation
and
all
that
goes
into
the
the
lifecycle
costs
and
all
of
it.
Actually,
you
know
it's
considered
as
a
part
of
this.
The
city
is
a
city
staffs
gone
through
a
lot
of
effort
to
try
to
do
pavement
preservation
to
keep
those
long-term
costs
down.
So
we
want
to
make
sure
those
projects
are
actually
in
here
and
can
be
considered
on
this
benefit
cost
scale.
E
As
we
go
spot
intersection
improvements
that
could
be
adding
a
traffic
signal,
it
could
be
Road,
dieting
or
widening
bro
dieting
for
those
that
aren't
aware
is
maybe
taking
a
four-lane
road
to
a
three
lane
road
or
five
lane
roads,
a
three
layer
out
or
putting
you
know
parking
or
things
on
it.
Reconstruction
is,
you
know.
When
I
wrote,
we
talked
about
life
cycles,
so
we're
talking
over
a
50-year
life
cycle.
So
at
some
point
the
concrete,
the
asphalt
everything
underlying
goes
bad.
We
have
to
start
over.
E
That's
just
what
happens
the
materials
degrade,
so
you
know
we're
doing
those
things
we're
taking
advantage
of
doing
Road
diets
or
widening
or
bridge
projects
in
order
to
do
that,
reconstruction
and,
lastly,
new
alignment,
type
projects-
those
are
just
new
to
the
system.
Are
we
promoting
infill
or
are
we
promoting
urban
sprawl
type
type
projects?
And
so
those
are,
you
know
some
of
the
comparisons.
We
look
at
all
this
on
the
adverse
travel
side
using
to
travel
to
man
model
that
take
into
account
those
new
alignments.
E
So
basically,
it
takes
a
2035
land
use
model
that
the
regional
planning
commission
is
genis,
become
earlier
provided
to
the
city
and
we
build
a
travel
demand
model
for
the
city,
so
that
every
time
we
put
in
a
new
project,
we
could
see
how
it
changes
travel
patterns
within
the
whole
town
that
actually
comes
into
play
on
projects
like
Hamilton
Road.
So
that's
the
numbers
that
Jim
provided
for
the
average
daily
traffic
and
those
things
that
comes
directly.
That
comes
out
of
that,
because
this
model
replicates
how
things
change.
E
So
some
of
the
for
real
big
bullet
points
the
hit
here
is
that
maintenance
and
intersections
should
be
prioritized
over
system
expansion.
Basically,
what
that
means
is
we
need
to
take.
You
know
we
need
to
ensure
that
we
take
care
of
what
we
have
in
order
before
we
start
building
new,
so
that
needs
to
take
place
on
the
on
the
west
side
of
town.
There's
a
need
of
there's
a
big
need
for
a
north-south
arterial
Street.
E
E
What
what
that?
Really?
What
the
intent
of
those
is
to
make
sure
that
we're
saying
that
these
are
the
different
groups
that
the
that
that
they
belong
in,
that
we
should
be
considering.
So,
basically,
if
you
see
a
green
or
red
or
yellow
or
an
orange,
those
are
the
groups
that
are
basically
pretty
similar
and
that
you
know
we
could
consider
all
those
in
in
accordance.
You
know,
as
together,
is
if
I
had
a
million
dollars.
Where
would
I
spend
that
money?
E
E
So
with
that
here's
a
list
of
all
the
projects
that
we
were
provided
through
the
public
input
of
things
that
that
staff
constituents
and
the
council
told
us
were
things
that
should
be
considered
so
I
put
together
a
table
here
with
the
with
the
ward
docket,
the
economic
tier
and
then
the
benefit
cost
ratio
and
how
it
kind
of
played
out.
So
with
that
I'll
take
any
questions
or
discussion
and
hopeful
jumping
chime
in
as
needed.
N
Thank
you.
You
know
I
I
think
last
night
I
sent
Jim
a
list,
though
I
think
like
27
questions.
So
thank
you
for
starting
off
by
addressing
some
of
those
right
off.
The
bat
I
think
that
just
a
couple
of
overarching
themes
across
the
document,
I,
don't
personally
necessarily
agree
with,
is
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
projects
that
involve
wider
lanes
and
we're
already
having
multiple
discussions
over
problems
with
speeding
through
all
over
the
city
as
it
is,
and
every
time
we
build
a
road
that
is,
has
wide
lanes.
N
N
So
there's
a
bunch
of
places
in
there
where
we
call
412
foot
or
even
thirteen
and
a
half
feet.
Foot
lanes
and
in
that
part
makes
me
unhappy
because
it
seems
like
we're
exacerbating
a
problem.
We
already
have.
You
know
I
in
a
lot
of
those
scenarios.
I
don't
like
to
see
all
the
additional
pavement
being
put
in
to
widen
those
lanes
when
we're
you
know,
like
you,
said
we're
trying
to
figure
out
how
to
maintain
what
we
already
have
so
I.
Think
that's
my
overarching
comments
that
are
on
this.
E
That's
actually
one
of
the
things
that
I
really
like
doing
in
my
career
so
and
what
I
would
say
is
for
a
good
portion
of
those
streets.
What
I
would
recommend
is
considering
the
context,
meaning
what's
outside
the
right-of-way
and
then
putting
on
things
like
shared
bike
lanes,
putting
it
or
using
that
space
for
parking
on
one
side
of
the
street.
You
know
the
help
from
businesses
and
and
those
kinds
of
things
or
even
frankly,
taking
that
and
narrowing.
If
you're
not
going
to
use.
E
You
know,
I
got
funds,
use
I
that
funds
narrowing
the
street
up.
We
did
a
project
and
downs
hearing
right
around
here
by
the
school,
where
we
actually
narrowed
the
roadway
to
twenty
feet.
In
that
scenario,
we
went
through
the
whole
design
process
for
the
for
the
county,
just
to
narrow
that
down
right
by
the
school
right
through
the
high
school
in
elementary
school
right
in
that
zone
and
narrowed
that
all
the
way
down
to
twenty
feet,
because
they
didn't
want
bicycles.
So
we
didn't
want
to
make
it
wider.
E
We
wanted
the
slow
folks
down
so
the
number
that
we're
providing
and
we
take
that
cross
section.
We
actually
provide
a
cost
and
that
lifecycle
cost
so
I
would
rather
that
lifecycle
cost
and
that
budget
number
that
we're
providing
to
the
council
and
the
decision
makers
to
set
policy
be
a
little
higher
and
then,
when
Jim
and
staff
and
his
staff
they
get
together
to
do
the
design
they
can.
Actually,
you
know,
meet
those
needs
and
shrink
it
down
to
just
something
that
just
like
you
were
saying:
okay,.
N
Thank
you
one
other
quick
question.
It
and
I
threw
this
out
to
the
council
I'm
the
geek
up
here.
So
where
are
you
guys
or
how
are
you
guys,
projecting
the
what
I
think
will
soon
be
a
Trenton
in
self-driving
vehicles,
I
mean?
How
do
you
see
that
changing
things
you
know
right
now,
we've
got
cars
that
park
themselves.
We
have
cars
that
auto
adjust
cruise
control.
N
E
E
Not
to
take
up
a
ton
of
time,
it's
actually
I
used
to
sit
on
a
national
board
for
the
American,
Road
and
transportation
builders,
and
that
was
where
we
we
were.
It
was
a
policy
committee
on
autonomous
vehicles
and
their
implementation,
but
I
believe
that
at
some
point
these
be
if
the
the
use
of
those
vehicles
is
actually
going
to
induce
transportation
demand,
because
what
you're
going
to
see
is
that
the
cost
for
transportation
is
going
to
go
down,
you
know
half
or
less,
and
you
actually
at
some
point
just
be
buying
mobility.
E
You
know
whether
or
not
we
even
own
cars
frankly
is
one
of
the
things
that
is
likely
to
happen
that
far
out
in
the
future.
So
what
you'll
actually
see
is
a
lot
of
induced
demand.
I
mean
just
meaning
that
you
have
cars
that
will
park
themselves
and
they'll,
wait
for
you
to
hail
or
I,
basically
an
uber
without
a
driver
for
yourself
or
for
a
bunch
of
different
folks
or,
however,
that
would
work
and
you're
just
basically
like
the
old
data
plans
on
cell
phones,
you're
buying
miles
or
buying.
E
You
know
hours
of
travel
time
and
you
know
through
a
plan
that
way,
so
it
I
believe
it's
probably
likely
that
that
would
drive
down
costs
for
on
the
transportation
system.
So
you'll
see
more
vehicles,
you'll
see
more
more
transportation
on
the
system,
so
the
the
needs
will
become
far
greater
and
actually
the
the
bigger
part
and
the
bigger
challenge
is
given
in
our
where
we're
at
in
the
world,
meaning
that
it
gets
gets
pretty
cold
me
at
a
lot
of
free
stuff.
E
Maintenance
is
very
important
for
that
autonomous
top
driving,
because
you
can't
hit
potholes
and
you
got
it.
The
car
needs
to
be
able
to
see
pavement
markings
those
kinds
of
things
that
need
to
be
able
to
happen.
So
you
know
all
the
pavement
preservation
and
those
things
that
cities
that
the
the
city's
already
trying
to
do
and
implement
going
forward
to
take
care
of
what
we
have
is
important
to
be
able
to
allow
that
induced
demand
to
happen,
which
would
be
good
for
commerce
and
other
things.
Okay,
thank
you.
A
O
You
and
I
think
that
I'm
all
dramatic
he
had
some
very
important
points
that
he
brought
to
this
conversation,
because
we
as
a
council
have
been
discussing
this
more
since
you
were
engaged
in
this
process
and
been
making
additional
policy
statements
for
the
garage
of
things
like
Complete,
Streets
and
vehicular
speeds.
So
I
agree
that
one
area
that
we're
missing
is
the
potential
impact
on
speeds
here
in
terms
of
widening
roads
and
what
that
might
look
like
because,
as
Jim
has
told
us
time
and
time
again,
we
can
post
the
speed
limit.
O
All
we
want,
but
it
is
the
road
design
that
matters.
So
that's
certainly
something
that
we
need
to
look
at
further.
But
I
do
appreciate
that
you
are
attempting
to
take
a
more
holistic
approach
here
in
looking
at
planning
for
infrastructure
needs,
because
this
is
a
significant
investment
and
not
just
in
these
the
performance
of
these
projects,
but
also
a
commitment
to
maintaining
them
in
the
future,
and
so
I
think
that
we
need
to
continue
as
a
council
to
have
a
conversation
about
how
we
write
thighs
our
infrastructure.
O
You
know
how
many
Lane
miles
do
we
want
in
the
city
how
many
Lane
miles
can
we
afford
to
maintain
given
our
tax
base
and
that's
probably
outside
of
your
scope?
But
it's
it's
part
of
that
bigger
conversation,
if
you
do
mention
things
in
your
presentation,
like
Road
diets
and
narrowing
lanes
that
were
narrowing
roadways
that
have
been
over
built,
this
particular
proposal
doesn't
doesn't
really
have
any
of
those
projects
in
it.
Right.
There's
no
suggestion
that
I
think.
E
I
think
those
those
would
inherently
cut
require
some
bringing
the
curbs
in
just
because,
when
you
go
from
four
lanes
to
three,
unless
you
put
bike
lanes
or
parking
on
one
of
the
sides,
you're
going
to
basically
have
less
have
less
pavement
out
there,
which
actually
you
know
when
you
bring
that
up.
There's
there's
many
more
benefits
even
than
just
to
the
to
the
transportation
system.
For
that
I
mean
there's,
you
know
like
you
need
less
storm
sewers
because
you
have
less
hard
surfaces.
E
O
E
O
And
so
one
other
element
that
I
think
that
has
not
been
fully
explored
here
is
the
impact
on
residents
and
residential
areas.
So
you
specifically
mentioned
the
need
to
improve
your
San
West
connectors,
which
is
very
a
point
well
taken,
but
two
of
the
streets
seminary
and
image
Emerson
go
through
primarily
residential
areas.
O
So
if
we're
talking
there
about
widening
them,
for
example,
and
on
Emerson
you're
talking
about
going
from
two
lanes
to
three
lanes
that
could
have
a
significant
resident
packed
I,
don't
know
what
that
is
in
terms
of
you
know:
will
that
encroach
just
on
the
right-of-way?
Will
it
require
people
to
have
their
private
property
encroached
upon
I
I
mean
I
again,
that's
outside
of
what
you've
done
so
far,
but
I
think
we
need
to
continue
this
public
engagement
process
to
make
sure
residents
are
aware,
because
I
didn't
go
to
that
member
with
a
2016
14.
E
R
G
R
Know-
and
it
very
simply
yes,
this
isn't
this
isn't
for
your
passage
tonight.
This
is
just
for
presentation.
The
other
facet
to
highlight
is
you'll
notice.
There's
no
implementation
plan
as
part
of
this,
not
every
one
of
these
projects
is
even
recommended
by
staff.
These
are
just
you
know.
The.
What
we
did
like
out
of
this
is
the
prioritization
metrics.
We
like
thinking
outside
of
the
box,
adding
some
things
in
as
far
as
safety
benefits
economic
benefits.
R
They
have
that
this
does
not
intentionally,
because
we
don't
want
to
make
it
seem
as
if
you
know
we
have
to
maintain
our
infrastructure
first
and
he
said
that
that's
accurate
and
then,
as
as
things
come
up
as
these
new
projects
come
up,
how
do
we
rank
them?
How
do
you
determine
where
those
new
construction
dollars
go?
This
provides
a
good
framework
for
that.
S
Painter,
thank
you
for
the
presentation.
I
can
tell
you've
done
a
lot
of
hard
work
on
this
and
I
really
like
the
idea
that
we're
thinking
ahead.
However,
the
council
voted
down
the
two
traffic
signals
on
Hershey
Road,
and
this
the
second
time
I've,
seen
it
presented
on
a
masterplan
since
it
was
loaded
down.
Why.
E
The
idea
here
again
was
to
go
through
and
just
have
a
basically
a
laundry
list
of
projects,
because
it's
not
this
isn't
going
to
be
something
that,
like
Jim,
said,
there's
no
real
implementation
plan.
Here,
it's
it's
more
of
a
as
a
resource
guide
as
a
point
to
come
back
and
and
honestly,
the
idea
it's
important
to
see
what
those
metrics
are
for
those
types
of
projects
that
doesn't
mean
that
pop
the
policy
to
not
to
not
build
them
or
construct
them
was
bad.
E
S
Can
you
tell
me
a
little
bit
about
raised
intersections?
Would
that
be
just
as
safe
as
a
traffic
signal.
E
Conversely,
there
are
some
considerations
for
raises
intersections
that
need
to
be
taken
when
you
get
on
the
outsides
of
the
radiuses
of
the
raised
intersections,
depending
on
the
types
of
vehicles
that
go
through
there
and
what
and
how
much
turnings
happening
raised
intersections
can
actually
there's
no
curbs
to
protect
folks,
so
there
some
considerations
need
to
be
done
out
in
the
outside.
So
just
that's
just
some
my
preliminary
thoughts
and
depending
on
the
situation,
you
know
you
need
to
design
things
very
specifically
for
for
that
condition.
What.
E
It's
very
similar
in
there
and
in
the
concern
it
depends
entirely
on
the
type
of
improvement.
What
I
would
suggest
is
that
for
mid-block
crossing
or
at
a
stop
sign
race,
crosswalk
is
actually
a
good
improvement.
It
should
be
something
for
a
pedestrian
that
acts
that
would
give
them
a
chance
to
get
through
and
I
can
make
the
car
stop.
E
Similarly,
as
we
know
what
we
talked
about
to
enter
up
onto
that,
the
challenge
with
the
race
crosswalk
is
is
when
you
have
a
green
light
condition
and
things
you
can't
really
raise
the
crosswalk
to
too
much,
because
bicyclists
and
and
vehicles
need
to
go
across
that
rate
that
raised
indication
there
that
race.
So
it's
the
old
speed,
hump
effect,
and
sometimes
there
you
know,
there's
some
studies
actually
show
that
you
have
a
lot
of
speed
bumps
and
it
actually
makes
people
go
faster
and
causes
more
crashes
in
between
the
speed
bumps
in
some
occasions.
E
A
Thanks
and
thanks
Kurt
a
couple
of
couple,
my
questions
have
already
been
asked,
but
I
guess
my
biggest
question
is,
and
it
was
alluded
to
before
and
aldrin
mathy
raised
many
of
them
it
was.
Are
we
looking
at?
How
were
how
local
transportation
is?
Is
changing?
I
mean
I,
look
at
Millennials
who
don't
have
cars,
and
you
know
we're
struggling
to
to
make
our
public
transportation
system
really
work
for
us,
and
so
I'm
wondering
how
all
this
this
emphasis
on
streets
impacts
or
could
impact.
A
What's
what's
going
to
happen,
I
mean
I
I,
see
the
changes
in
how
we
move
around
locally
being
almost
like.
It
was
in
the
in
the
40s
when
people
40
after
World
War,
2
and
everybody
had
their
own
car
or
started
getting
their
own
car
and
we
lost
public
transportation.
We
lost
light
rail,
we
lost
so
many
other
things
and
I
I
see
just
maybe
shifting
back
towards
some
of
those
and
I'm
wondering
if
any
of
that's
been
taken
into
consideration.
Yeah.
E
So
what
we
did
was
a
track.
We
didn't
travel
demand
model,
and
so
what
that
actually
does
is
it
works
in
productions
and
attractions
or
not?
He
would
be
what
you
would
have
you
produce
a
trip
at
your
house
and
you're
attracted
to
your
work.
Basically,
so
the
thought
being
is
how
you
go
or
how
many
productions
and
attractions
that
are
generated
there.
They
use
standard,
we
use
standard
formulas
based
on
the
size
of
the
community
that
are
published.
E
Those
types
of
things
can
be
changed
quite
a
bit
as
we
go
forward
or
as
we
go
forward,
meaning
that
they
can
go
on
and
be
edited
it's
like
computer
code.
Basically,
so
we
can
go
in
and
change
how
that
works,
so
that
so
the
answer
is
that
we
did
consider
that
we
kind
of
we
kind
of
match
that
to
what
today's
trend
is
and
you're
right.
E
There
would
be
more
trips,
there
would
be
more
trips,
so
there
would
then
be
more
and
more
cut.
There'd
be
the
same
amount
of
cars,
if
not
more
at
some
point,
they
just
may
be
smaller
or
bigger,
or
different
things
so,
and
actually
they'll
take
up
less
space
if
they're,
not
being
driven
by
a
human
being,
I
mean
there's
a
lot
of
that
kind
of
stuff.
E
The
challenge
that
we
have
is
trying
to
with
it's
trying
we
just
on
the
pub
on
the
public
policy
side
it
needs
to
be
more
rated
by
a
default,
is
gonna
have
to
be
a
little
bit
more
reactionary
because
the
technologies
for
things
for
to
be
purchased
and
to
be
implemented
into
you
know
all
sectors
of
the
population.
I
may
come
at
different
speeds,
so
that
that's
going
to
be.
E
E
But
forgive
me
if
we
if
we
haven't-
and
we
can
definitely
work
with
the
city
to
get
did
with
city
staff
to
get
some
of
the
surveys
out
to
police
and
fire
to.
Let
them
tell
us
where
they
see
some
issues
or
not,
but
we
actually
reached
out
to
schools
for
sure,
because
we
consider
the
bus
route.
You
know
right
now,
folks
are
using
woodruf
grove
and
that
and
maybe
they'll
use
hamilton
when
when
enough
that
gets
built
and
those
kinds
of
things.
So
thanks.
A
P
And
I
want
to
first
start
by
saying
jamie.
I
was
just
a
little
worried
when,
when
you
asked
about
driverless
vehicles-
and
I
and
I
saw
my
engineer-
friends,
eyes
kind
of
light
up
here
at
the
podium,
because
this
this
image
of
a
clock
face
with
10:00
p.m.
on
a
kind
of
flashed
across
my
mind
for
a
second
error.
So
it's
appreciate
the
restraint
that
you
showed.
It's.
P
You
know
I'm
hopeful
that
that
finally
will
understand
the
full
value
and
impact
of
what's
been
happening.
All
these
years-
and
you
know,
Jim
I
was
reminded
again
and
David
as
well.
All
of
the
heavy
lifting
that's
been
done
by
engineering
and
Public
Works,
putting
these
plans
together
right,
so
it
at
the
same
time
when
you're
answering
the
phone
and
emails
and
texts
from
from
citizens
and
aldermen
and
stuff
on
a
day
to
day
hour
by
hour
minute
by
minute
basis.
P
Q
If
I
can,
let
me
make
a
few
comments
and
I
just
want
to
go
to
one
last
section
on
this
presentation,
but,
first
and
foremost,
I
hope.
You
appreciated
the
fact
that,
as
you
looked
at,
what
Hanson
brought
to
this
study
and
analysis
is
a
lot
of
methodology
that
could
be
used
in
helping
to
come
up
with
objective
data.
You
know
whether
it's
a
benefit
cost
ratio,
safety
ratio,
etc,
etc.
Q
It
has
been
prepared
in
the
past
I,
don't
know
that
the
council
has
always
been
a
party
to
a
lot
of
the
additions,
the
changes
but
going
forward.
You
will
because
I
think
that's
such
a
critical
document
and
keep
in
mind
even
this
long-range
transportation
plan
includes
a
lot
of
street
reconstruction
because,
as
you
look
at
a
number
of
these
streets,
many
of
them
exist
today
and
they're
so
far
gone
from
a
deteriorated
standpoint.
Q
A
Street
overlay
is
not
going
to
you
know
it's
going
to
be
wasted
money,
but
if
you're
going
to
reconstruct
it,
you
reconstruct
it.
As
is
you
know
that
old
rural
you
know
cross
section
of
two-lane
but
or
something
different,
and
hopefully
now
with
a
bicycle
master
plan
and
things
like
that.
Those
are
all
being
taken
into
account
as
you
look
at
this,
so
keep
in
mind
that
a
lot
of
Street
reconstruction,
whether
it
be
loose,
road,
we're
being
Lafayette,
Street
or
others-
are
going
to
benefit.
Q
You
know
where
they
get
the
money
is
another
thing
you
know
you
want
to
have
some
projects
ready
to
go
last
but
not
least
just
want
to
take
a
few
minutes,
as
as
we
talk
about
pavement
preservation,
one
thing
that
there's
been
a
lot
of
activity
on
if
I
I
think
it
was
just
today,
I
sign
the
contract
for
the
reclamation.
Other--
pavement
preservation
work,
we're
doing,
but
one
thing
that
we
did
ask
Hansen
to
look
at
too
is:
is
there
more?
Q
We
should
be
doing
in
pavement
preservation
and-
and
specifically,
we
wanted
them
to
look
at
this
issue
of
crack
sealing.
We
in
Bloomington
there
just
hasn't
been
for
various
reasons:
a
lot
of
cracks
sealing
as
you
see
in
many
cities
or
even
I
dot,
will
do
crack
sealing
here
in
there
to
try
and
prevent
water
from
infiltrating
down
through
the
concrete
pavement
into
the
sub
base,
etc,
etc.
As
if
you
had
a
chance
to
read
back
there,
I
think
it's
in
page,
93
and
and
beyond.
That
is
a
recommended
practice.
Q
One
of
many
to
utilize
crack
sealing
as
an
additional
way
to
preserve
the
asphalt
pavement
and
extend
the
life
possible
life
or
the
life
cycle
life
of
these
streets
that
in
if
Curt,
if
you'll
just
take
a
few
minutes
and
just
cut,
make
a
few
comments
on
that.
Not
that
we're
going
to
resolve
that
tonight,
but
I
I
think
one
thing
we
want
come
out
of
this
master
plan
to
at
least
as
we
go
forward,
bring
to
you
kind
of
that
pro
and
con
about.
Q
Should
we,
as
many
cities
have
done
throughout
the
nation
yet
in
the
crack
filling
or
is
the
status
quo
adequate?
You
know,
as
we
look
at
the
pros
and
cons,
because
we
don't
have
the
staff
and
the
capital
and
the
cost
to
do
a
lot
of
that.
But
it
is,
you
know,
a
technique
in
the
process.
Many
cities
have
done
to
try
and
get
a
little
bit
more
life
in
the
pavement,
so
Kurt
just
yeah.
E
As
far
as
that
goes,
the
I
first
want
to
note
that,
as
far
as
pavement
preservation
goes,
I
actually
would
applaud
Public
Works
engineering
staff
for
the
amount
of
effort
that
they
put
into
the
the
pavement
preservation
and
all
the
program
around.
Frankly,
it's
more
than
we
see
a
lot
of
community
to
do
so.
You
know
that
that's
there
should
be
well
taken
and
a
lot
of
what
they're
doing
kind
of
take
the
place
as
some
of
that
crack
sealing,
meaning.
E
You
know
some
of
the
different
treatments
that
you
put
on
the
surfaces
of
asphalt,
pavements
and
other
things,
so
that
that
that
should
be
said,
first
and
foremost
what
what
date,
what
mister
hale's
was
referring
to
in
in
the
discussion
was.
We
feel
like
that.
It's
an
engineering
question
and
it's
not
maintenance,
isn't
necessary,
see
jurors,
you
do
or
Nestle's
necessarily
one-size-fits-all.
So,
for
instance,
the
I
dot
recommends
to
do
that
practice.
However,
based
off
of
people's
budgets
and
some
of
the
other
things
that
they're
doing
is
that
or
the
results
that
you
see?
E
Frankly,
different
constituents
could
have
different
feelings
about
different,
whether
your
tip
ceiling,
their
Road
I,
don't
chip
seal
in
my
subdivision,
you
know
I,
don't
want
all
that
on
my
I.
Don't
want
all
that
on
my
car.
It
makes
it
makes
the
road
bleed
or
so
I.
Don't
necessarily
believe
that
it's
a
it's
a
one
size
fits
all,
but
it
is
recommended
practice.
R
We
as
a
staff,
Public
Works
staff.
We
actually
very
strongly
believe
in
pavement
preservation,
it's
one
of
those
issues
that
you
can't
keep
doing,
what
you've
always
done,
and
otherwise
you're
going
to
get
nothing
different
than
what
you've
got.
So
the
one
thing
I
would
stress
is
that
crack
sealing
is
something
we've
looked
at
extensively.
We
actually
have
prepared
documents.
R
We
probably
should
promote
more.
We
actually
a
very
pilot
oriented
staff,
we're
always
looking
at
trying
different
things.
We
probably
should
be
more
open
about
one
of
all
the
different
things
we
try,
because
we
always
do
those
try
to
find
the
best
way
to
be
able
to
find
over
the
Norton.
You
know
five
ten
year
period.
What
are
the
differences
we're
seeing?
And
so
we,
while
we
might
not
see
something
in
the
first
year
or
two
we're
looking
trying
to
look
long
term.
R
We
know
that
we're
gonna
be
here
for
a
while,
and
we
want
to
make
sure
we're
taking
those
things
into
account.
So
we
are
looking
at
those
we
do
now
know
they
would
take
additional
staff
and
equipment,
but
we'd
want
to
make
sure
we
had
that
recommendation
in
place
and
make
sure
it
was
worth
the
money.
If
we
did
it.
A
A
Q
Q
A
Today,
we've
had
a
recommendation,
a
suggestion
that
we
have
some
conversation
as
the
council
around
the
process
that
we
would
implement
and-
and
you
know
how
how
we
would
grow
this
board
and
I
think
we're
we'll
be
waiting
for
more
information
as
well
about
about
sort
of
who
has
risen
to
the
surface
and
what
that
process
looks
like
and
I
thought
it
made
a
lot
of
sense
to
do
that.
So
maybe
that
might
be
on
a
work
session
coming
up.
A
I
would
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
give
an
amazing
shout
out
for
the
adult
tricycle,
writing
and
the
winner
of
the
four
person
race
was
mr.
Jim
Koch
and
the
last
place
shockingly
was
alderman,
Mathi,
I
didn't
know
a
tricycle
could
go
this
no
I.
It
was
so
unfair.
To
put
to
put
you
know,
there
was
just
such
a
small
tricycle.
A
P
P
P
N
A
N
Don't
know
what
process
the
rest
of
you
went
through,
but
I
ended
up
reading
through
most
of
them.
Three
and
four
times
trying
to
you
know
narrow.
The
pool
of
66
and
worthy
people
down
in
to
get
getting
down
to
10
took
a
significant
amount
of
time
of
multiple
passes
through
the
whole
packet
and
trying
to
you
know
trying
to
come
up
with
some
sort
of
a
list.
It
was.
H
M
So
rarely
speak
during
these,
so
what
I
wanted
to
talk
about
very
briefly,
is
along
alder
and
Matt.
These
remarks
going
through
the
Community
Relations
Board,
all
the
different
applicants
that
we
received.
You
know
it
was
probably
at
least
in
my
timeframe,
the
most
applied
for
board
that
we've
seen
and
it's
just
so
great
to
see
people
from
all
over
the
community.
Some
people
I've
seen
before
people
I've,
never
met.
M
Two
is:
why
do
you
do
this
and
I?
Do
it,
because
I
think
we
need
to
get
more
people
involved?
We
need
to
open
our
doors
up
and
really
engage
folks
from
different
backgrounds,
different
lifestyles-
and
it's
really
it's
really
hard
for
me
to
listen
to
some
of
that.
That
insidious
remarks
from
from
people
in
the
community
is
so
loud
and
I
just
want
our
LGBT
community
to
know
that
that
we
want
you
to
be
involved
and-
and
we
want
you
to
be
here-
and
it's
for
you
know-
making
remarks
about
people
from
single-parent
households.
M
You
know
my
parents
are
divorced.
You
know,
I've
been
a
legend
to
public
office
four
times
to
talk
before
I
was
30
and
I'm,
not
saying
that
you
know
I'm
in
any
way
a
role
model,
but
I
think
it's
not
a
good
thing
to
be
telling
kids
that
they
can't
be
something
or
do
something
because
of
the
circumstances
in
which
they
were
raised.
So
the
purpose
of
my
remarks
this
evening
are
just
more
to
say:
you
know
we
want
more
people
involved
and
you
know
we're
not
just
all
talk.
