we
believe

he
is
going

there,
and
so
he
was
unable
to
attend.
But
we've

A
So
thank
you
for
all
being
here
today.
We
appreciate
your
your
attendance
and
your
support.
I
would
like
to
thank
all
of
our
corporate
members
that
are
here
today.
Without
you,
guys
being
a
part
of
commuter
services
and
helping
your
employees
get
to
work
in
a
different
method
other
than
ride
alone
transportation,
our
roads
would
be
much
more
congested,
and
so
it's
with
your
help.
It
really
makes
a
big
difference
to
everyone
in
the
Twin
Cities
area,
and
so
we
appreciate
your
commitment
to
your
employees
to
our
communities.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
all
that.
You
do
we'd
also
like
to
thank
BestBuy
for
hosting
and
also
being
a
partner
with
commuter
services.
For
the
past
14
years,
Best
Buy
has
been
a
great
partner
with
us.
They've
been
committed
to
helping
their
employees,
find
alternative
methods
of
transporting
to
and
from
work,
and
that's
made
a
big
difference.
They're
really
a
flagship
example
of
what
a
suburban
company
can
achieve
with
regard
to
commuter
services,
programs
that
lead
to
high
engagement
and
meaningful
reductions
in
transportation
congestion.
So
thank
you.
A
Best
Buy
and
I'm
also
like
to
thank
our
commuter
services
staff.
Our
executive
director,
mosa
Madison,
is
right
here.
We
also
have
Kate
Kate,
raise
your
hand
in
the
back,
and
we
have
marquita
ORS
Marquita
Martita
in
the
back
and
Robin
Thank
You
Robin
those
employees
I,
can
tell
you
from
working
with
them
daily.
They
do
a
great
job
in
reaching
out
and
working
with
commuters
and
companies
in
our
in
our
five
member
cities
and
even
beyond,
and
they
achieve
great
results
and
great
reduction
in
traffic
congestion,
so
Thank
You
staff.
A
You
do
a
great
job
every
day.
Just
a
quick
note
bathrooms.
If
you
need
to
use
one
are
just
outside
and
to
the
to
the
right
as
you
go
outside,
so
if
you
need
that
feel
free
to
go
at
any
time,
and
right
now,
I'd
like
to
give
you
a
couple
of
brief,
slides,
just
to
kind
of
highlight
what
commuter
services
does
as
an
organization,
so
every
day
and
estimated
130
million
Americans
travel
to
jobs
located
in
dense
urban
centers
and
suburban
office
parts,
and
the
vast
majority
of
those
commuters
drive
alone
to
work.
A
If
we
look
at
what
we've
done
in
the
past
to
try
to
reduce
that
congestion,
here's
a
picture
of
Beijing
China-
we
don't
have
the
capacity
to
do
this
in
our
cities.
Nor
do
I
think
we
want
to
do.
This
is
to
increase
the
the
roadways
to
that
extreme.
But
we
really
can't
from
a
number
of
perspectives.
Just
don't
have
the
space
and
we
don't
have
the
money
to
do
that.
A
So
what
can
we
do
to
avoid
doing
that?
We
have
to
find
alternative
methods
of
transportation.
Our
infrastructure
really
is
aging
our
government
at
all
levels.
We
really
struggle
to
pay.
If
you
look
at
what
min
dots
budget
is-
and
if
you
look
at
the
transportation
budget
that
they're
currently
wrangling
at
the
state
capital,
there
just
isn't
enough
money
to
build
our
way
out
of
congestion.
So
we
need
to
do
more.
So
that's
really
why
the
four
94
corridor,
commission
hired
staff
and
we
have
commuter
services.
A
So
we
need
to
get
more
throughput
out
of
our
existing
infrastructure.
We
need
more
people
on
transit,
more
people
in
carpools,
vanpools
and
biking
and
walking
as
modes
of
transportation.
So
working
through
employers
really
is
our
best
method
to
reach
all
those
employees
so
having
partnerships
with
companies
is
so
key
to
our
organization
and
to
achieving
good
results.
So
commuter
services
last
year
held
100
before
commuter
fares
with
employers
at
multi-tenant
buildings
like
best
buy
here.
A
We
had
4152
commuters,
pledged
to
commuter
services,
to
try
an
alternative
method,
and
we
do
follow
up
with
those
commuters
and
make
sure
that
they
are
doing
that
and
that
they
are
and
just
to
follow
up
to
see
how
they're
doing
in
many
of
them
once
they
try
it.
They
continue
to
use
that
and
it
becomes
part
of
their
habit,
which
is
really
what
our
goal
is:
3,800
drive
alone
commuters
received
customized
transit,
carpool,
vanpool,
bicycle
commuting
and
telework
resources
from
commuter
services
in
the
past
year.
So
you
can
see
it's
a
very
large
impact.
A
Studies
show
when
employers
use
choices
such
as
these
benefits
that
there's
approximately
a
20%
shift
in
their
employment
staff
in
trying
carpooling
and
the
other
modes
of
transportation
in
that's
in
large
urban
areas
are
areas
may
be
just
a
little
bit
less
than
20%,
but
still
it's
a
significant
impact
on
the
way
people
get
to
work.
So,
together
working,
we
have
achieved
718
new
car
pooler's.
This
is
just
last
year's
results
alone.
A
Eleven
hundred
and
sixty
nine
new
transit
riders,
441
new
bicycle
commuters,
166,
new
color
workers,
27
new
van
floors
and
17
van
pools,
and
so
that
results
in
a
in
a
savings
of
over
1
million
vehicle
miles
driven
per
year.
So
it's
a
very
significant
amount.
So
again,
thank
you
to
all
of
our
corporate
partners
in
being
willing
to
work
on
this
with
your
employees
and
bringing
better
transportation
alternatives
to
them,
and
you
can
see
that
really
being
willing
to
give
people
benefits
to
try.
A
These
is
really
the
key
to
getting
them
to
convert,
and
so
all
the
all
the
employers
that
have
given
you
know,
metro,
passes
and
subsidized
van
pools
and
all
those
kinds
of
key
tools
to
your
employees.
That's
really
what
helps
to
make
the
so
I
really
want
to
thank
all
of
you
for
being
here
and
for
participating.
So
now,
I
was
supposed
to
win.
A
Invite
Adam
chair,
Adam
Zdenek
of
the
Met
Council
to
come
forward,
but
since
he
is
in
negotiations
with
these
budget
transportation
goings-on
at
the
State
Capitol,
he
has
his
staff
here
to
represent
him
and
to
do
this
and
so
I'm
pleased
to
announce
a
Bruce
Howard
Bruce
is
the
director
of
customer
services
and
marketing
and
Bruce.
It
does
a
great
job
representing
the
Met
Council
and
the
Metropolitan
Transit
Commission
and
so
welcome
to
Bruce,
and
thank
you
for
coming.
C
Well,
today,
I'm
human
everyone
as
Brandon
and
Bri
covered
record
customer
services
and
marketing
and
Metro
Transit,
and
the
first
thing
I
did
is
the
middle
note
to
myself.
I
thought
I
was
going
to
be
able
to
come
out
here
and
just
have
a
free
lunch
but
nope
itself
when
the
session
is
still
going
on
and
the
chair
is
invited,
don't
show
up
just
in
case
he
has
to
be
over
at
the
legislature.
C
Now
I'm
just
kidding
we're
going
to
have
three
of
us
from
Metro
Transit
that
are
going
to
fill
in
and
pinch-hit
there
this
morning,
I'm
going
to
give
just
a
brief
overview
of
Metro
Transit
and
cover
a
few
of
the
slides
and
then
we're
going
to
have
a
couple
of
our
staff
from
up
and
talk
about
projects
that
are
very
specific
to
this
part
of
the
region,
the
Southwest
Green
Line
extension
and
the
orange
line.
So
let
me
start
by
just
covering
a
little
bit
about
Metro
Transit
Metro
Transit.
C
We
are
building
a
transit
system
for
the
21st
century,
as
I
mentioned
I've
been
here
for
25
years,
when
I
started
back
in
1992,
we
had
one
mode
of
transit
in
this
region
and
that
was
essentially
fixed
route
bus
service.
We
did
have
Metro
mobility,
which
is
our
a
da
surface,
but
you
can
see
there
on
the
screen
the
modes
that
we've
added.
Since
then
we
have
light
rail.
C
We
have
commuter
rail
and
we
have
arterial
BRT
that
we've
we've
added
along
with
bus,
rapid
transit,
also
highway
bus
rapid
transit,
which
is
on
Cedar
Avenue
known
as
the
Red
Line
a
little
bit
about
Metro
transit
ridership,
we've
actually
increased
the
Metro
transit
ridership
10
out
of
the
last
12
years
in
2016
ridership
was
down
a
little
bit
from
2015,
so
that
wasn't
one
of
the
years
that
we
increased
ridership
but
ridership,
thankfully,
has
rebounded
again
for
the
start
of
this
year.
But
last
year
we
finished
with
eighty
two
point:
six
million
rides.
C
We
average
every
weekday
two
hundred
and
sixty
six
thousand
rides
at
Metro
Transit
on
the
Green
Line
in
2016,
all
13
million
rides
that
was
up
but
2.5
percent
from
2015
and
on
the
Blue
Line
a
ten
point,
two
million
rides
in
2015
and
then
last
year
in
September
on
September.
First,
we
actually
had
the
largest
one-day
ridership
in
the
history
of
our
agency
and,
as
you
can
see
there,
we
had
three
hundred
and
seventy
thousand
rides
on
the
system
on
September
1st.
Now
what
was
happening?
Well,
there
was
a
Twins
game.
C
There
was
the
Vikings
preseason
game.
There
was
a
Gopher
football
game,
there
was
a
Saints
game
and
we
were
doing
State
Fair
service
all
on
the
same
day,
so
it
was
pretty
crazy
out
there,
but
I
think
it
also
illustrates
the
kind
of
investment
that
we
want
to
make
in
the
transit
system,
so
we're
able
to
handle
these
types
of
crowds
with
all
of
these
events
going
on
at
the
same
time,
just
real
quickly.
How
does
the
ridership
split
out
by
mode
the
bus
system
is
still
going
to
be
the
backbone
of
our
system?
C
Here
we
have
over
150
bus
routes
that
Metro
Transit's
you
can
see.
70%
of
our
ridership
is
on
the
bus,
but
our
LRT
lines
are
quickly
gaining
ridership,
28%
of
the
ridership
comes
from
LRT
and
then
a
small
percent
from
a
line
which
is
our
bus,
rapid
transit
line
that
we
opened
last
year
at
Snelling
Avenue.
It
goes
from
Rosedale
down
snow
across
board,
Parkway
to
the
46th
Street
Station
on
the
blue
line,
and
then
here's
a
map
of
our
metro
system
that
some
of
it
is
existing
and
some
of
it
we're
building
out.
C
We'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that
in
just
a
minute
with
the
Green
Line
extension
and
the
orange
line.
But
you
can
see
here
just
to
orient
yourself.
The
far
right
side
would
be
the
east
side
of
the
metro
area
and
existing
today,
the
Green
Line,
which
operates
from
my
union
people
in
st.
Paul
down
the
University
Avenue
into
downtown
Minneapolis.
That
was
the
second
line
that
opened
in
2014,
and
then
you
can
see
the
blue
line
there,
which
operates
from
downtown
Minneapolis
to
the
airport
into
the
Mall
of
America,
the
red
line.
C
There
is
the
red
line,
bus,
rapid
transit,
which
operates
on
Cedar
Avenue
and
then
farther
to
the
right,
the
Gold
Line.
This
is
a
line
that
we
envision
being
built
from
st.
Paul
out
to
some
of
the
eastern
suburbs
south
towards
Woodbury,
and
then,
if
you
flip
over
to
the
top
of
the
map,
there
you'll
see
that's
the
Northstar
community
line
coming
in
from
Big
Lake
about
45
miles
out
from
downtown
Minneapolis.
And
then
you
have
the
blue
line
and
green
line.
C
Extensions
on
the
far
side
left
side
of
the
map
and
then
the
orange
line,
which
will
go
down
35
W.
So
we'll
talk
more
about
those
in
just
a
minute,
just
a
little
bit
about
the
Green
Line,
as
I
mentioned
it
opened
in
2014
11
stations
or
11
miles
long
18
stations.
Five
of
those
are
shared
stations
in
downtown
Minneapolis
with
the
blue
line,
and
it
serves
both
downtown
Minneapolis
and
downtown
st.
Paul,
we're
averaging
actually
now
up
above
40,000
weekday
rides
again
here
in
2017
and
interestingly
enough.
I
mentioned
that
day.
C
C
You
start
on
the
west
side,
the
Green
Line
there
starts
at
Target
station
or
the
twins
play
those
past
US
Bank
Stadium,
which
will
host
the
Super
Bowl
in
February
of
2018
goes
past
TCF,
Bank
Stadium,
where
the
Gophers
play
and
we're
currently
Minnesota
United
plays,
goes
down,
University
Avenue
and
that
Snelling
will
be
the
new
soccer
stadium,
hopefully
for
Minnesota
United
there
and
then
on
Fitz
Nate
Paul
and
the
Xcel
Energy
Center.
So
all
those
major
venues
are
served
by
the
Green
Line.
C
So
that's
just
a
very
quick
overview
of
some
of
the
things
going
on
in
Metro,
Transit
and
I.
Think
James
is
going
to
be
next
and
he's
going
to
come
up
and
talk
about
the
Green
Line
extension
he's
got
a
table
over
there.
If
you
want
to
ask
him
some
questions
afterwards,
he's
going
to
cover
a
couple
of
slides
and
then
we'll
hear
from
Kristina
on
the
orange
line.
D
Good
morning
and
three
syndicated
I
work
with
the
Southwest
project
office
I
am
with
the
public
involvement
team,
I
work
specifically
in
Eden,
Prairie
and
Minnetonka.
So
it's
great
to
see
some
the
Minnetonka
folks
that
needn't
ferry
folks
here
I'm
familiar
with-
and
it's
great
to
be
here
with
this
morning.
As
you
can
see
from
the
slide,
we
have
opening
2021
so
I'm
going
to
anticipate
ticket
revenue.
It's
14.5
miles
long.
D
If
you
see
that
where
it
starts
to
go
south
of
Shady
Oaks
station,
there,
that's
all
knew
right
away
south
of
there
and
when
you
go
from
the
shady
up
station
toward
Target
Field,
that's
basically
following
an
existing
rail
corridor
there.
So
we're
going
to
have
15
stations
and
probably
we
hope,
to
have
a
16
station
which
are
calling
the
town
Town
Center
station
in
Eden
Prairie
that
will
I,
don't
know
if
it
marked
down
there
can
see
on
the
slide,
it'll
be
between
it's
about
an
inch
to
the
right
of
the
Southwest
station
there.
D
Anticipate
I
would
expect
that
we
might
reach
that
sooner
than
2040.
If
the
Green
Line
current
green
line
6
or
any
indication
they've
reached
I
think
they're
2030
projections
in
about
2
or
3
years
already
so
they're
doing
very
well
all
right.
One
of
the
most
important
features,
of
course,
of
this
project
is
the
interconnectivity
between
people
who
need
employment
and
employment
centers,
and
you
can
see
on.
E
D
D
It
2014
you
had
sixty
four
thousand
three
hundred
jobs
within
a
half-mile.
The
proposed
stations
on
the
route
in
one
hundred
twenty
six
thousand
eight
hundred
jobs
in
downtown
Minneapolis
by
2035.
They
expect
to
see
an
18%
interest
increase.
Sorry,
you
live
by
about
eighty
thousand
nine
hundred
jobs
within
a
half-mile,
the
corridor
of
the
proposed
stations
and
around
one
hundred
and
forty
five
thousand
three
hundred
in
downtown
Minneapolis.
D
Now
our
project
timeline.
Again,
we
finished
most
of
you.
We
finished
the
environmental
work.
We've
got
to
a
hundred
percent
engineering
earlier
late
last
year
and
now
we
expect
to
apply
for
the
full
funding
grant,
which
is
a
50%
match,
having
secured
the
local
50%
funding
sometime
later
in
the
summer,
and
then
we
anticipate
beginning
construction
later
this
year,
2017
and
running
through
2020,
and
then
it
can
anticipate
revenue,
service,
beginning
and
2021.
D
Of
course,
one
of
the
benefits,
of
course,
of
the
project
of
the
economic
development
we've
already
seen
evidence
of
that
with
the
existing
Green
Line
that
opened
in
2014
we've
seen
nearly
6.8
billion
dollars
in
development
along
those
LRT
lines.
Already
700
million
along
the
blue
line,
550
million
development
plans
are
underway
already
with
the
Southwest
light
rail
project.
D
489
million
development
plans
are
underway
already
for
the
Blue
Line
extension.
That's
going
to
be
running
north
to
point.
I
can
see
some
examples
of
that
with
the
Green
Line
we've
got
again
ham
line
station
apartments
if
you're
familiar
with
the
Green
Line
route,
the
700
on
Washington
Near,
East,
Bank
station
2700
University
near
West
Gate
station
and
with
our
extension
project
we
see
515
million
development,
see
the
gallery
flattening
of
downtown
Hopkins
station.
It
was
also
the
place
if
you've
read
about
that
in
the
news
recently.
D
That's
under
that
the
project
is
under
development
and,
of
course,
you
have
UHG
campus
to
south
across
town
and
opus
and
the
Moline
near
downtown
Hopkins
station.
So
we're
seeing
a
lot
of
development
already
emerge
around
the
plans
as
it's
gotten
more
concrete,
as
people
have
begun
to
get
excited
about
the
project
moving
forward.
D
F
G
You
James
well
I,
keep
that
I'm
Christina
Morrison
and
with
Metro
Transit,
and
they
work
on
the
Metro
Orange
Line
bus,
rapid
transit
project.
There's
a
brochure
in
your
folder.
You
want
to
find
more
information
or
going
to
hold
of
us.
Also
point
out
that
Maxwell
pieces
is
here
with
me
today:
excuse
our
our
Shakur
native
Orange
Line.
So
he
can
help
you
get
more
information
to
the
people.
You
work
with
for
people
coming
to
your
campus
about
what
the
orange
line
means
for
for
your
location.
G
So
the
orange
line
is
a
17
miles
of
BRT
project
on
35w,
running
between
downtown
Minneapolis,
South,
Minneapolis,
Richfield
saloon
and
Heinz
burns
also
right
down
the
center
of
that
metro
map.
This
is
our
region's
busiest
express
bus
corridor
and,
if
you're
out
there
at
rush
hour,
you
know
that
it
is
busy
to
say
the
least.
We
expect
in
this
quarter,
26,000
West
Drive
by
by
2040
that's
building
on
tremendous
level
of
service
that
we
already
have
out
there.
Today.
G
We
have
a
lot
of
Express
service
going
into
downtown
Minneapolis
in
the
morning
coming
out
in
the
afternoon,
and
what
the
orange
line
really
does
is
to
build
that
all-day
bi-directional
service
and
one
of
the
primary
goals.
That
really
is
to
better
serve
people
sort
of
on
the
shoulders
of
that
mid-day
evenings,
but
also
weekends.
We
don't
have
any
service
on
35w
of
them
for
transit
on
the
weekend
and
this
will
serve
all
begins.
G
G
We
have
so
many
people
who
are
trying
to
get
to
jobs
and
services,
hotels,
shopping
centers
in
this
quarter,
and
we
know
that
people
want
better
transit
options,
both
north-south
and
east-west,
and
we
would
be
expanding
those
with
the
addition,
particularly
of
the
76th
Street
Station,
which
would
be
right
out
here
at
next
Avenue,
seventy-six
right
next
to
the
canvas,
as
well
as
with
the
station
American
Boulevard.
Next.
So
over
on
the
South
town
shopping
center
side,
the
project
cost
is
150
million
dollars.
That
includes
a
new
fleet
we're
running
actually.
G
On
the
previous
slide,
you
can
see
where
we're
going
to
be
running
these
three-door
buses
so
like
on
light
rail.
It
will
be
able
to
pay
your
fare
before
you
get
on
the
bus
and
then
board
through
any
door.
So
it
really
speeds
up
that
boarding
process,
not
a
lot
of
downtime
of
the
stations
that
project
cost
also
includes
the
roadway
work
that
we're
doing
we're,
building
some
kind
of
strategic
chains
of
advantages.
One
of
those
is
right
here
in
the
next
Avenue
area.
Another
one
is
a
transit
only
ramp
in
the
downtown.
G
You
can
sort
of
bypass
all
of
the
people
waiting
in
traffic
and
that
construction
begins
this
year.
We're
actually
partnering
with
MnDOT
they're,
going
to
be
constructing
sort
of
the
downtown
portion,
as
well
as
the
Lee
Street
portion
as
part
of
their
35w
transit
access
project,
and
then
our
station
construction
really
begins
in
2019,
so
love
kind
of
a
little
bit
of
a
roll
out.
As
we
go
to
this
kind
of
different
geographic
areas,
135
to
build
that
station
infrastructure.
We.
G
A
Spending
this
important
information,
we
really
appreciate
it.
My
mic
still
on
sounds
like
it's
off.
I'll
speak
loudly,
so
our
next
speaker
is
from
MnDOT.
His
name
is
Aaron
tag.
Aaron
has
been
with
MnDOT
for
16
years.
He
is
currently
the
West
area
engineer
as
the
west
area
engineer.
Aaron
helps
oversee
and
manage
MnDOT
programs
and
projects
in
Hennepin
County,
so
welcome,
Aaron
and
good
to
have
you
here
come
on
up.
Hopefully,
we'll
have
a
mic
working
for
you
here
shortly.
I
I
So
these
are
the
three
projects
I'm
going
to
talk
about
today,
but
I
actually
want
to
start
with
two
other
projects,
so
the
494
project
in
the
northwest
metro
in
the
100
project
in
the
st.
Louis
Park
area.
Note
these
two
projects
started
in
2015
and
they
wrapped
up
last
year,
but
they're
part
of
an
important
important
sequence.
We
needed
those
two
projects
done
in
the
traffic
impacts
associated
with
them
over
before
we
could
start
eases
a
94
project,
north
of
downtown
Minneapolis
or
the
169
project.
I
You
know
just
just
west
of
here
and
we
need
the
169
project
and
the
94
project
done
before
we
can
start
the
35w
project.
So
we
have
a
number
of
projects
you
know,
spanning
from
2015
to
20:21,
so
seven
years
of
projects
that
all
had
to
line
up
so
that
we
aren't
taking
the
West
Metro
out
too
hard.
I
know
it's
difficult
to
deal
with.
Some
of
these
traffic
impacts,
but
hopefully
we
can
get
through
it.
I
I
So
this
is
a
picture
from
earlier
this
year.
This
is
part
of
the
169
Nine
Mile
Creek,
bridge
removal.
We
started
this
in
January
of
this
year,
they're,
currently
they're
done
with
the
bridge
removal
they're
working
on
driving
pile
for
the
causeway
I'm,
starting
retaining
walls.
The
project
is
on
schedule.
I
The
ninety-four
project
that
essentially
runs
from
Nicolette
Avenue,
actually
a
little
bit
south
of
downtown
Minneapolis
up
to
694
and
a
little
bit
west
of
Shingle
Creek
Parkway.
This
is
a
pavement
and
bridge
rehab
project,
so
we're
going
out
and
we're
making
repairs
to
the
infrastructure
we
have
so
that
it
can
last
at
least
15
more
years
to
get
us
through
to
the
point
where
this
section
of
freeway
probably
needs
to
be
replaced.
I
I
One
thing
I
want
to
note
about
this
project
is
often
when
we
have
a
project,
we're
able
to
kind
of
have
lane
closures
or
travel
restrictions
for
longer
periods
of
time.
So,
for
example,
the
35w
project
I'm
going
to
talk
about
next,
we
move
all
the
traffic
over
to
one
side.
We
do
one
side
of
the
freeway,
get
that
fixed
up
and
there's
a
traffic
over
there
and
then
fix
up
the
other
side,
because
we
have
so
much
work.
I
You
know
50
different
bridges,
paving
all
over
the
place
in
the
fair
amount
of
short
time
where
our
detours
and
ramp
closures
are
changing
daily.
So
if
you
know
this
is
a
project
that
impacts
you
I
highly,
encourage
you
to
go
to
our
website
sign
up
for
our
email,
because
it
can
be
really
helpful
to
understand
how
everything
is
changing
around.
We
have
new
closures.
Every
week
the
closures
aren't
lasting
very
long.
Many
of
the
closures
are
only
lasting
one
week,
two
weeks,
but
they
can
still
have
quite
a
bit
of
impact.
I
An
interesting
thing
about
a
ramp
closure
is,
when
you
close
something
usually
takes
about
a
week
for
the
traveling
public
to
kind
of
sort
itself
out,
so
you
close
something
in
the
next
day.
It's
always
horrible,
then,
but
then
miraculously
a
week
later.
Everything
seems
you
know,
maybe
not
as
good
as
it
was
before,
but
kind
of
back
to
at
least
a
little
bit
better.
I
Another
interesting
thing
about
this
project
is
that
the
contractor
is
getting
incentives
to
finish
at
least
on
time,
and
he
gets
more
incentive
to
earlier.
He
finishes
and
part
of
this.
The
main
reason
for
giving
this
contractor's
incentives
is
kind
of
before
I
talked
about
the
sequence
of
work.
We
need
the
contractors
we
get
this
work
done
so
that
we
can
start
on
the
35w
project.
I
I
I
This
closure
started
a
couple
weeks
ago.
It's
going
to
be
closed
until
mid-july,
another
closure.
We
have
right
now
that
you
know,
as
some
significant
impacts,
is
westbound
94
to
westbound
394.
That
bridge
and
ramp
is
closed.
We
currently
have
all
that
traffic
detouring
onto
the
HOV
or
min
pass
lanes.
I
I
And
then
act
recently
opened.
We
had
the
third
Street
ramp
out
of
Minneapolis
heading
northbound,
it's
it's
kind
of
viaduct
that
goes
to
North
Minneapolis
Anuak,
North,
Loop
area.
That
was
closed
for
ten
days.
We
got
that
reopened
on
Saturday,
which
is
good
news,
but
we
have
some
bigger
impacts
coming
up,
and
this
is
going
to
be
kind
of
a
test
run
for
35w.
I
We
have
work
in
the
tunnel
that
we
need
to
do.
We
need
to
replace
some
of
the
tiles
in
there
to
keep
it
waterproof,
and
then
we
have
work
kind
of
on
either
side
of
the
central
north
south
of
pavement
repairs
as
well
as
some
some
ramp
fixes.
So
why
we're
doing
this
work
in
the
tunnel
we're
going
to
have
a
number
of
ramp
closures?
It's
our
they're
listed
there,
but
I'm
going
to
go
over
them
kind
of
in
this
diagram.
I
So
right
now
the
the
lower
Hill
tunnel
has
three
lanes
in
each
direction
during
the
tunnel
work,
which
is
going
to
last
three
months,
we're
going
to
take
all
the
traffic
and
we're
going
to
put
it
in
one
tunnel.
So
we
can
work
on
the
other
tunnel,
so
we're
essentially
going
to
have
two
lanes
in
each
direction
in
the
tunnel
during
the
periods
of
work.
So
this
is
going
to
last
three
months.
My
trucks
are
going
to
be
restricted
from
using
the
tunnel,
so
they'll
be
having
to
take
the
detour
routes.
I
So
in
the
first
phase,
remember
we
got
three
lanes
going
each
direction.
The
first
phase
we're
going
to
close
the
eastbound
lanes
of
94,
so
the
eastbound
lanes
are
going
to
move
over
the
other
portal,
so
we're
going
to
have
two
lanes
in
each
direction:
median
divider
between
them
restricted
lane
with
and
because
we
are
closing
the
eastbound
lanes,
as
well
as
the
freeways
on
either
side
of
the
tunnel,
we're
going
to
have
to
close
some
ramps.
I
So
the
394
eastbound
to
I-94
eastbound
ramp
is
going
to
be
closed
for
about
a
month
and
a
half
and
then
further
on
the
other
side
of
the
tunnel.
The
94
eastbound
to
35w
southbound
ramp.
It's
going
to
be
closed
for
a
month
a
month
and
a
half
once
we
get
the
work
done
in
the
tunnels
and
the
associated
ramps,
we're
going
to
kind
of
swap
it
so
we're
going
to
move
all
the
traffic
to
the
eastbound
tunnel
portal
and
we're
going
to
close
the
westbound
tunnel
portal
and
then
kind
of
the
opposite.
I
We
won't
have
the
option
of
using
the
HOV
lanes
anymore
for
general
traffic,
so
that'll
be
another
month
and
a
half
of
work
for
a
total
of
about
three
months
and
that
project
will
rot,
wrap
up
end
of
this
year
on
time
for
35
W
in
Lake
Street,
so
35
W
in
Lake
Street.
This
project
has
been
in
the
works
for
20-some
years.
It's
a
partnership
between
MnDOT,
Hennepin,
County,
Metro,
transit
city
of
Minneapolis.
I
Street
is
just
a
little
bit
north
of
Lake
Street,
as
well
as
the
new
ramp
from
southbound
35
W
to
Lake
Street.
So
currently,
there's
no
connection
to
Lake
Street
if
you're
coming
southbound
on
35
W
and
then
we're
going
to
be
reconstructing
the
entire
freeway
from
43rd
Street
up
to
the
downtown
Commons.
This
is
Center
essentially
finishes
off
the
crosstown
work,
so
Crosstown
project
that
wrapped
up
five
ten
years
ago
finished
at
43rd
Street.
This
finishes
that
work
into
downtown
Minneapolis,
as
well
as
the
manage
lanes,
there's
kind
of
a
missing
guest.
There.
I
It's
so
it's
two
and
a
half
miles
of
concrete
pavement
replacement,
there's
sex,
16
bridges
that
are
either
being
repaired
or
replaced
kind
of
interesting
note
here
and
kind
of
falling
into
the
whole
sequence
of
projects.
Chapter
152,
legislation
back
in
2008,
which
was
kind
of
the
big
last
bill,
we'll
see
what
comes
out
of
today
last
big
transportation
package
we
had
in
the
state
I
focused
a
lot
on
repairing
our
bridges
in
the
state
and
part
of
that
requirement
was
to
have
bridges
that
need
to
be
replaced
or
repaired
under
way
by
2018.
I
I
I
I
94
westbound
was
going
to
be
restricted
to
two
lanes
starting
early
in
2018,
and
that
is
going
to
last
through
2021.
So
four
years,
four
years
of
94
eastbound
being
two
lanes,
northbound
35w
is
going
to
be
restricted
to
three
lanes
starting
early
2018
going
to
2021
southbound
35w
is
going
to
be
restricted
to
two
lanes
starting
early
next
year
and
going
to
2021,
hopefully
in
2019.
There
will
be
we'll
add
a
third
lane,
a
managed
lane
on
the
two
lanes.
I
That
will
be
there
to
help
alleviate
a
little
bit,
but
still
pretty
significant
impact
and
then
highway
65,
which
is
the
section
of
freeway
between
35
W
and
the
direct
connection,
is
downtown.
Minneapolis
I,
don't
know
how
many
people
know
we
actually
call
that
highway
65,
but
that's
the
name
of
it.
That's
going
to
be
closed,
starting
in
July
or
early
2018,
and
that's
going
to
be
fully
closed
for
the
remainder
of
2018
and
hopefully,
we'll
have
a
lane
in
each
direction
open
at
the
end
of
2018.
I
There's
also
a
number
of
ramps
that
are
going
to
be
closed,
so
the
35w
northbound
to
eat,
westbound,
94
ramp
is
going
to
be
closed
and
you
know
so
we're
closing
that
ramp
with
a
94
project
that'll
be
a
good
test
for
what's
going
to
happen
with
35,
because
that
for
the
94
project
is
happening
for
a
month
and
a
half
for
the
35w
project,
it's
going
to
happen
from
early
2018
through
2021
and
then,
conversely,
the
eastbound
94
ramp
to
southbound
35
W.
A
ramp
is
going
to
be
closed
for
that
entire
time
too.
I
Some
other
projects
happening
in
the
Metro.
This
year
we
have
a
project
on
94,
east
of
st.
Paul,
pavement
rehab
and
reconstruction
projects.
It
started
last
year.
That's
going
to
finish
up
this
year.
There's
a
number
of
lane
restrictions
with
that
project.
As
it's
in
the
North
Metro,
we
have
694,
they
were
adding
an
additional
lane
in
each
direction
on
1684
there
that
project
started
last
year
and
that's
going
to
wrap
up
this
year
on
Snelling.
We
have
a
pavement,
an
intersection
repair
project.
That's
ongoing!
I
There's
a
number
of
lane
closures
associated
with
that
between
highway
36
and
Como.
Avenue
that's
happening
this
year,
but
we
will
have
all
lanes
open
for
the
state,
fair.
Everyone
can
get
to
the
state
fair
and
then,
if
are
out
in
the
East
on
the
Wisconsin
border,
we
have
the
st.
Croix
bridge,
that's
going
to
be
finishing
up
in
the
next
year
and
then
down
in
the
South
Metro
Highway
110.
I
We
have
a
number
of
intersection
and
signing
improvements
with
a
number
of
lane
restrictions
happening
this
year
and
so
that
that's
just
a
one-year
project,
so
that'll
be
wrapping
up
this
year
as
well.
So
for
each
of
our
projects,
we
have
a
project
website
and
as
well
as
a
email
blast
you
can
get.
So
if
any
of
these
projects
impact
you
or
your
employees,
I
highly
encourage
you
to
connect
them
to
these
project
websites.
I
There's
the
email
list,
especially
with
a
project
like
the
94
project,
where
we're
doing
new
detours
and
new
road
closures
every
week
and
depending
on
whether
things
get
delays,
things
move
up.
Things
are,
you
know
constantly
changing.
It
can
be
really
helpful
for
everyone
to
know
what
is
closing
it
as
well
as
not
and
then
kind
of
our
traditional.
I
A
Well,
thank
you
appreciate
all
the
updates.
As
we
can
see,
it's
clear
that
we
thought
traffic
in
congestion
was
bad.
Now
it's
going
to
get
worse
and
it
looks
like
it's
about
a
four
year
stint
that
it's
going
to
get
worse
in,
and
so
it's
a
it's
especially
important
to
find
alternative
methods
of
getting
to
and
from
work,
because
it's
going
to
be
tough
and
it's
going
to
impact
our
schedules.
It's
going
to
impact
our
deliveries
can
impact
our
employees.
A
A
J
Winter
clearance
we're
going
to
find
out
if
there's
any
tutorials
in
the
Lowry
Hill
Connell,
but
really
for
the
most.
My
lifetime
we've
been
shouting
and
up
all
through
a
very
cozy
and
I'm.
Just
wondering
now
that
we
got
that
plan
four
lanes
within
the
tunnel.
But
is
there
any
way
to
maintain
that
at
least
adding
one
lane
for
long-term
future.
I
With
the
current
reconfiguration
in
the
Lowry
tell
what
we're
doing
for
the
month
and
a
half
I
guess
three
months,
total
is
really
a
temporary
thing
to
get
general
traffic
through,
as
I
mentioned,
we're
putting
a
truck
restriction
on
the
tunnel
because
we
don't
have
the
clearances
on
the
side
to
accommodate
them.
We're
also
going
down
to
really
narrow
lanes
through
the
tunnel
and
there's
going
to
be
a
25
mile
per
hour.
Speed
limit
to
the
tunnel,
so
putting
four
lanes
into
a
portal
isn't
a
long-term
solution.
I
We
do
have
the
rethinking
94
a
visioning
project
that
we
have
started
is
kind
of
looking
at
94
is
getting
to
the
end
of
its
useful
life,
the
infrastructure
we
built
back
in
the
the
50s
and
60s.
So
we
are
going
to
be
rebuilding
that
sometime
in
the
future,
and
so
that
project
is
looking
at
what
does
94?
One
of
you
know,
look
look
at
look
like
in
the
future,
and
so
the
Laurie
Hill
tunnel
and
kind
of
the
restrictions
we
have
there
might
be
part
of
that.
We.
I
A
Great,
thank
you
so
much
for
the
update
there
and
we
appreciate
knowing
what
Mendez
plans
are.
I
know,
there's
a
lot
of
plans
and
a
lot
of
coordination.
It
looks
like
quite
the
puzzle
to
piece
together
all
those
projects
and
to
sequence
them
in
the
right
timing.
So
we
appreciate
the
work
that
men
dot
does
and
the
complexity
of
the
task
we're
all
going
to
be
cursing,
though
sorry
to
say
that
look
we'll
send
you
I
will
send
you
a
expletive
emails.
A
K
So
much
Fred
hi
everyone,
it's
great
to
see
so
many
faces
today,
so
I'm
keen
erred
as
director
of
outreach
with
commuter
services
and
go
through
some
of
our
free
resources
for
employers
and
commuters
and
your
employees.
So
we
have
a
free
community
air
service,
that's
available
for
your
employees.
We
can
help
them
the
range
of
resources
to
help
them
get
to
work.
K
Tips
to
help
them
start
a
successful
carpool.
We
can
provide
personalized
transit
information,
so
if
they
tell
us
where
they
live
and
work,
we
can
give
them
a
printout
of
where
the
bus
stops
are
how
long
the
trip
take
give
them
all
the
detailed
information.
A
lot
of
schedules
and
to
free
ride
passes
to
try
transit.
We
have
a
range
of
by
community
resources.
We
can
help
them
with
a
customized
route
plan
from
home
to
work
a
map
and
safety
tips.
Denman's
of
the
bike
bars
as
well.
K
There
is
also
a
free
program
that
provides
a
peace
of
mind
for
your
employees
if
they
are
using
an
on
drive
alone,
commute
to
work
called
guaranteed
ride
home,
it's
free
to
enroll.
It's
like
insurance,
you
enroll
in
it
before
you
meet
it.
You
just
have
to
be
using
any
non
Drive
alone,
commute
mode
or
combination
of
modes,
carpooling
transit
biking
on
average
three
days
a
week
and
sign
up
online.
K
So
it's
a
value
benefit
for
your
employees
to
offer
a
spot
close
to
the
employee
entrance
at
your
location
and
clear
services
offers
the
signs.
We
also
manage
the
program
for
you
and
you
and
we
provide
a
hang
tag
for
all
of
the
car.
So
in
exchange
for
carpooling
three
days
a
week
on
average,
your
your
employees
can
receive
a
preferred
spot
close
to
the
door
and.
K
All
of
our
services
are
free
of
charge
yeah,
so
we
have
transit
passes
available
that
we
can
help
you
as
a
company
enroll
in
the
best
bus
path
available
in
the
Twin
Cities
is
an
employer
based
called
Metro
pass.
It
offers
deeply
discounted,
unlimited
ride
taxes
on
all
the
regional
buses
and
trains
in
the
system,
so
it's
not
just
forgetting
to
work
with
for
any
trip
that
your
employees
would
want
to
take
and
as
a
company
we
just
sighs
regular
transit
riders
to
enroll
in
the
program.
K
So
if
you
have
any
kind
of
transit
ridership
at
your
company,
please
see
us
without
enrolling
Metro
pass
and
there
is
a
metro
bus
for
sure
in
your
package
as
well
all
right.
So
there
are
different
ways
to
pay
for
the
transit
passes,
for
the
employees
could
use
pre-tax
dollars
and
we
can
help
you
set
that
up.
K
There
is
a
new
app
in
town,
it's
a
metro,
transit
app
and
you
can
do
all
kinds
of
things
with
it.
So
it's
available
on
Android
and
iPhone.
You
can
purchase
tickets
for
local
bus,
fare,
Metro
and
North
Star.
The
app
is
currently
not
available
to
purchase
fares
for
express
service,
but
they're
working
on
that.
It's
great
for
special
events.
Like
twins
games,
you
can
plan
trips,
get
real-time
next
trip
info
and
more,
and
there
are
more
features
coming
soon:
Metro
vanpool.
K
K
The
rider
split,
the
cost
of
the
gas
after
the
Met
Council
pays
about
half
of
the
monthly
leave
and
you
need
a
minimum
five
people
to
start
the
van
pool
and
you
have
to
ride
the
van
for
a
minimum.
Three
days
a
week,
you
have
new
mini
bands
of
crossover
vehicles,
you
have
some
nice
options
and
then
you
have
a
lease
agreement
between
the
primary
driver
and
enterprise.
We
have
enterprise
representatives
here
today
the
volunteer
driver.
K
So
amongst
the
group
someone
steps
up
to
to
be
the
driver
of
the
band
they
get
to
keep
the
vehicle
at
their
home
evenings
and
weekends,
and
then
they
get
to
use
the
van
per
person
we
used
up
to
250
miles
per
month.
The
least
covers
really
everything
needed
to
cover
to
operate
the
band,
so
it's
maintenance
repairs,
there's
a
million
dollar
liability
insurance
and
24-hour
roadside
assistance,
pazam
cool.
Even
though
we
ask
that
vamp
rulers
to
riding
the
van
oh
and
your
average
day
of
the
week,
it
isn't
a
long-term
commitment.
K
We
just
need
30
day
written
notice
for
van
polar
to
leave
the
van
it's
not
working
out,
so
it
is
flexible.
We
have
array
of
bicycle
commuting
resources
for
employers.
We
can
provide
a
free
outdoor
bike
rack
and
that's
the
rack
right.
There,
we've
given
it
to
dozens
of
employers
in
the
Twin
Cities
over
the
last
several
years.
We
can
facilitate
how
to
bike.
Lunch
and
Learn
is
for
your
employees.
We
also
can
facilitate
bicycle
tune-up
events
and
provide
assistance
with
Bike
to
Work
Day
celebrations.
K
L
Good
afternoon,
everybody
telework
is
going
to
be
needed
ever
more
as
we
enter
the
major
construction
seasons
with
I
94
and
the
35w
lasting
for
four
years.
So
polar
can
be
a
benefit
that
takes
a
little
longer
to
set
up.
So
if
your
company
does
not
yet
have
a
telework
program,
we'd
be
very
interested
in
happy
to
talk
with
you
about
what
that
might
look
like
and
give
you
a
number
of
free
resources.
L
So
our
partners
at
eco,
lab
I,
created
this
slide
that
we
like
to
use
that
work
is
not
a
place
that
you
go
is
a
thing
that
you
do,
and
so
TELRIC
requires
employers
and
employees
to
think
about
work
a
little
bit
differently
that
the
work
is
about.
The
deliverable
instead
of
where
you
are
so
we
say
to
work,
is
all
about
work
period.
Managers
need
to
learn
to
manage
by
deliverables
and
not
by
watching
around
a.
L
Number
of
resources
are
available
through
commuter
services.
To
help
your
company
establish
a
telework
program.
We
have
sample
telework
policies
that
you
can
customize
to
fit.
Your
corporate
culture
will
provide
implementation
guidance,
consulting
on
best
practices,
training
for
managers
to
learn
how
to
manage
remote
workers
and
there's
also
training
for
teleworkers
to
learn
best
practices
of
how
to
work
in
a
remote
environment
successfully,
and
we
also
have
economic
and
the
home
office
recommendations.
L
L
It's
not
an
employee
right
and
it's
also
not
an
extension
of
the
workday
teleworking
succeeds
when
the
job
is
right
and
the
employee
is
a
right
fit
for
working
remotely
when
the
technology
is
in
place
for
remote
access
and
when
the
manager
approves
of
the
arrangement.
So
you
could
have
the
jobs
lend
itself
nicely
to
telework
the
employee
be
a
great
fit
for
working
remotely
and
still
delivering
on
time.
But
if
the
manager
is
not
supportive
or
doesn't
know
how
to
manage
by
deliverables
and
has
poor
communication,
then
it
will
not
work.
L
Teleworking
is
successful
when
the
program
is
transparent,
so
employers
will
want
to
have
adult
work
policy
that
is
available
to
all
employees
to
read
so
that
employees
can
know
who
is
eligible
and
then
a
super
vendor
can
point
to
the
telework
policy
when
an
employee
is
out
of
it.
So
the
tolbert
policy
becomes
the
bad
guy.
L
L
L
How
many
of
you
will
have
heard
sitting
is
the
new
smoking,
and
so
a
study
by
the
National
Institute
of
Health
in
2010
found
a
link
between
energy
expenditure
or
exercise.
If
you
will
links
to
web
health
outcomes,
a
2012
study
published
in
the
American
Journal
of
Preventive
Medicine
found
that
the
farther
people
commute
everyday,
the
more
likely
they
are
to
be
overweight.
L
The
same
where
you
search
also
found
the
longer
people's
car
canyons
are
the
more
likely
they
were.
Has
a
his
blood
pressure,
and
the
new
study
from
the
journal
formerly
called
British
Medical
Journal,
finds
that
people
who
walk
by
can
even
take
public
transportation
to
work
has
a
lower
body
mass
index
and
body
fat
percentage
than
those
who
drive
to
work.
A
modest
increase
in
physical
activity
decreases
depression
and
decreases.
L
There
was
also
links
between
vehicle
emissions
and
air
quality,
as
well
as
a
link
between
air
quality
and
health
and,
as
I
was
doing
research
for
these
quick,
slides,
I
found
in
the
New
York
Times
an
article
that
was
just
published
two
days
ago.
A
link
between
these
air
quality
and
some
people
getting
a
good
night
sleep
at
night
and
so
that
the
poor,
the
air
quality,
the
poor,
the
police,
qualities.
L
And
so
this
is
a
slide
that
highlights
on
slides
earlier
that
our
chair
had
talked
about
trip
last
year,
commuter
services
through
the
partnerships
with
the
view
in
this
room,
the
employers
that
we
do
commuter
fairs
with
and
who
has
commuter
programs.
We
were
able
to
convert

she

And
so
we
have
awards
for
our

of
the

and
followed
by
that

be
coming
back
up
and
she
will
present

then
to

The

at

Q
M
R
I've
been
part
of
the
things
above
my
organization
for
five
or
six
years
now,
and
it
was
only
when
169
enclosed
in
the
fall
last
year.
That
I
realized
that
my
secondary
road
commute
to
work
was
all
of
a
sudden.
A
jam-packed
nightmare
and
I
would
actually
try
and
get
on
my
bike
through
the
winter,
which
I
had
always
laughed
at
people
that
did
that
before
and
said
there
how
crazy
they
work.
It's
not
too
hard
found.
R
M
M
M
H
There's
really
not
much
about
the
total
exported
like
that
I
just
I
when
I
first
learned
how
to
ride
a
bike
when
I
was
walked
over
yourself
and
I
was
in
and
the
way
it
works
is
that
I
was
in
a
parking
lot
and
my
uncle's
working
on.
We
were
granted
to
this
country
I.
My
hustles
worked
on
this
Camaro
under
the
hood
and
he
heard
a
fever.
He
yelled
something,
and
then
he
almost
dropped
his
you
know
wrench
and
he
was
sent
to
go.
What
happened
involved.
H
B
H
K
K
So
the
first
honoree
is
the
city
of
Edina,
the
communications
and
Technology
Services
Department.
They
have
few
programs
that
support
support,
sustainable
community
and
transportation.
The
Living
Streets
champion
appear
on
the
disease
website
to
demonstrate
the
benefits
of
sustainable
transportation.
The
street
start
smart
program
reminds
all
street
users
ways
to
be
safe
and
respectful
on
the
road
we
have
partnered
with
the
city
of
Edina
for
several
years.
They
promote
our
campaigns
and
services
through
video
bulletin
boards
on
their
community
TV,
so
they
just
do
an
amazing
job
of
promoting
safety,
livability
and
sustainable
transportation.
F
Roadways
and
transportation
options
have
long
been
a
priority
for
the
city
of
the
I.
Am
we
here
to
advocate
for
Street
highway
improvements
that
make
it
easier
for
all
of
us
get
around
the
Twin
Cities?
They
have
created
policies
and
systems
that
support
pedestrian
and
bicycling
options
and
most
recently
approved
a
Living
Streets
policy
for
all
of
those
reasons,
and
also
to
create
a
greater
sense
of
community
in
the
United
and
the
city
began,
has
supported
the
own
employees
by
supporting
carpooling
options
and
some
telecommuting
options.
F
The
city
has
thousand
great
success
in
communicating
the
activities
of
explosive
governments
through
the
stories
of
its
residents,
visitors
and
business
people.
In
our
experience,
people
would
rather
read
a
story
or
see
a
story
about
people
than
just
read
a
simple
list
of
the
benefits
of
telecommuting,
bicycling
or
carpooling,
for
example.
How
many
of
you
enjoy
being
told
that
your
government?
What
to
do?
Not
many
of
us
finish?
You
read
a
story
about
your
friends,
neighbors
a
co-worker
and
what
they're
doing
you
might
be
inclined
to
give
it
a
try.
F
So
that's
why
we
created
programs
like
the
living
trees,
champions
and
our
street
smart
campaign.
We
are
very,
very
proud
partner
of
commuter
services,
it's
easy
for
us
to
communicate
the
activities
and
programs
of
commuter
services
through
our
existing
communications
tools.
I
saw
your
package
today.
There's
a
list
of
things
you
can
do
with
employees,
employers
to
educate
your
employees
about.
What's
going
on
right
now,
with
the
commuter
challenge
rebalance,
you
can
do
that
share
post
on
Facebook,
write
stories
of
your
own.
F
We
always
enjoy
working
with
Melissa,
educate
and
the
rest
of
the
commuter
services
staff.
Their
passion
for
their
work
is
evident.
Thank,
You,
Melissa
Kate.
Thank
you
so
much
for
this
recognition
but,
most
importantly,
keep
passing
on
your
great
stories
for
us
to
tell
we'll
do
our
best
to
share
them
with
the
yagnas
residents
and
the
people
who
visit
and
work
there.
Thank
you
so
much.
K
And
thanks
again
for
your
partnership,
our
next
honoree
is
a
Health
Partners
and
we're
actually
going
to
talk
about
two
of
their
categories:
two
programs
that
they
provide
so
for
employees.
They
have
over
left
an
array
of
new
benefits
they
offer
Metro
pass
and
other
transit
passes
pre-tax,
also
with
Regent
Hospital.
They
offer
a
free
Metro
pass
in
exchange
for
their
parking
contract.
So
there's
been
construction
with
the
parking
every
to
the
hospital
and
they
came
up
with
that
solution
and
several
employees
of
taking
them
up
on
that.
K
They
promote
sustainable
transportation
through
nine
green
teams
across
the
various
employer
groups.
They
have
lots
of
amenities,
carpet
parking,
free
showers
and
lockers
for
bike
commuters,
outdoor
bicycle
walkers
that
are
enclosed,
as
well
as
several
bike
racks.
They
also
created
employer
group
and
location,
specific
educational
materials
about
the
available
resources
they
have
several
employer
groups
like
Park,
Nicollet
and
other
and
methods.
Hospital
and
they've
created
a
really
nice
array
of
materials
that
are
specific
to
the
location
where
the
employee
works
in
the
next
piece
that
we
are
honoring.
K
How
partners
for
are
their
bike
repair
stations
in
the
last
year
and
a
half?
They
have
installed
19
locations
across
the
metro
area
and
western
Wisconsin.
They
carefully
selected
the
locations
to
benefit
employees,
patients
and
the
community,
and
it
provides
a
wonderful
peace
of
mind
and
eliminates
a
barrier
for
Vice.
So
I'm
going
to
add
Samak
you
with
the
sustainability
department
and
Don
Barker
works
the
headquarters
at
how
partners
to
come
and
accept
the
award.
Thank
you.
S
Congratulate
a
Health
Partners
is
your
mission
to
improve
health
and
well-being,
and
this
means
we're
committed
to
caring
for
the
places
where
we
live
and
work.
So
we
can
provide
a
healthier
and
cleaner
community
for
our
members,
patients
and
future
generations,
in
addition
to
Friday
health
care
and
health
plans
across
the
metro
area.
One
we
work
towards
is
committed
by
promoting
environmental
stewardship
sustainability
and
sustainable
transportation
options
among
our
employees.
Last
year,
our
vol
team,
the
committee
for
increased
activities,
our
family
department
and
external
partners.
S
One
is
even
from
last
year
that
we've
developed
a
one-page
document
of
all
of
our
computer
programs
and
incentives,
and
this
document
not
only
has
practical
information,
but
it
also
includes
on
the
information
on
why
avoiding
driving
along
with
evil
into
the
environment,
and
this
document
is
included
in
our
new
employee
orientation
campus
and
it's
given
to
all
new
hires
day
when
I'm
working
with
us.
We
also
see
the
advantage
of
commuter
services,
free
carpooled,
signage
and
management
program.
S
We
have
lamented
that
at
two
of
our
facilities,
and
we
also
rely
heavily
on
our
green
team
to
be
local
champions
of
transportation
efforts
across
the
organization
they
frequently
partner
with
commuters
and
measures
to
have
educational
tables
and
events
for
employees.
We're
really
excited
with
all
the
work
you've
been
able
to
do
so
far
and
we
look
forward
to
continuing
the
progress
and
success
in
promoting
sustainable
transportation.
So
thank
you
for
the
partnership
as
much
recognition.
T
One
of
the
things
that's
been
really
interesting:
I've
been
have
health
partners
for
11
years
and
I.
Think
Melissa
was
working
with
health
partners
before
I
joined,
but
we've
really
leveraged
both
sustainability
and
organization,
strong
commitments
that
an
organization's
commitment
to
well-being
to
really
take
this
work
to
the
next
level,
because
I
recall
on
my
first
conversations
with
Melissa
she's
like
how
can
we
get
your
department
to
promote
this
more
and
I?
Think
using
these
two
levers
have
been
a
really
effective
way.
It
happened
to
our
mission
and
make
it
a
bigger
issue.
T
The
bike
repair
station
project
was
something
that
I've
worked
on
as
an
opportunist
thing.
We
did
as
a
marketing
initiative.
We
worked
with
how
Minnesota
years
ago
and
sponsored
by
prepare
stations
that
are
reserved
7
throughout
the
Metro
in
st.
cloud,
and
that
was
something
our
organization
was
really
proud
of,
and
we
had
a
lot
of
know.
One
of
our
employees
is
here
a
lot
of
people
like
why?
T
This
idea
popped
into
my
head,
and
so
part
of
what
we
were
trying
to
do
is
implement
this
in
a
way
that
it
would
help
the
poor
type
community,
but
also
be
available
to
recreational
bikers
as
well,
because
I
always
think
about
them,
they're
from
two
different
populations,
and
we
wanted
to
get
the
most
benefit
from
the
dollars
we
put
into
this,
and
it
was
actually
surprisingly
evening
cell
to
get
we've
got
19
of
them
installed.
We
targeted
our
largest
work
locations.
T
The
bottom
example
is
that
our
administrative
building,
so
that
one
is
probably
the
only
one
that
is
not
accessible
to
the
community.
It
was
interesting
to
see
how
our
locations
were
really
good
about
this.
For
example,
in
Avery
the
facility
person
there
that
I
want
to
put
it
on
our
campus,
because
anybody
coming
to
our
campus
has
to
go
past
a
major
State
Trail,
so
I
want
to
put
it
on
the
intersection
of
that
state
rail.
So
he
worked
with
the
city
of
Avery
to
provision
the
Glasair
Messerly
place
in
numerous
Bend
Wisconsin.
T
They
put
one
on
campus,
but
they
also
have
a
partnership
with
the
local
fitness
center,
so
they
purchased
work
in
the
center.
So
we've
had
a
lot
of
options.
Efforts
to
do
that.
So
it's
been
exciting
to
see
how
Methodist
Hospital
put
one
in
the
parking
renowned
for
employees
available,
but
one
near
the
bike
racks
at
our
new
citation,
so
it
just
was
fairly
experiencing
how
it
got
implemented
and
it's
a
creative
way
to
try
to
move
direction.
K
Thanks
so
much
congratulations
again,
our
next
recipient
could
not
be
here,
but
if
minnieofoz
Marriott
Southwest
in
Minnetonka
they
purchased
in
the
last
year,
bicycles
and
helmets
for
gifts
syringe,
and
so
we
will
have
to
leave
stuff
there
Lord
on
their
pan.
The
next
awarded
for
Minnesota
life
College.
They
provide
dedicated
transit
instruction
for
their
students,
teaching
students
with
learning
differences
on
autism
spectrum
disorders,
to
navigate
buses
and
trains
independently
and
I've.
K
Had
the
great
pleasure
of
meeting
many
students
and
providing
a
presentation
on
how
to
ride
the
bus
on
and
then
sort
of
like
goes
farther
to
give
them
as
parental
experiences
taking
them
on
trains
on
buses.
So
they
really
know
how
to
do
that
independently
when
they
finish
school.

I'm
very
happy
to

canta.
Something
about
that.
This
is
why
we
can
transit
to
the
mall
very
seriously.
We
have
our
programs,
such
as
our
carpooling
program,
where
we
do
have
those
nice
parking
spaces
up
by
the
first
area
of
the
parking
ramps.
We
have
our
quarterly
commuter
fares
where
we
do
drawing
students,
incentivize
people
to
come
out
and
carpool
or
bike
to
work.

very
hard,
and
then
we
just
have
one

for

an
executive
office,
Center
and
Jamie
Corzine.
Here
she
make
is
okay,
so
she
she
was
how
that,
but
they
held
a
series
of
bicycle
community
education
events
that
we
helped
them
win
by
convening
one
one.
Oh

lets
you

a
Bike

Work

celebration.
K
We
will
set
the
word
on
their
behalf,
and
now
we
just
have
a
few
of
awards
for
individual
champion,
so
go
to
those
our
first
recipient
is
Brian
Nelson
from
Beth
I
Brian
has
been
working
on
the
commuter
benefits
programs
2015
and
has
seen
a
lot
of
great
things
happen,
improve
operational
efficiency.

expanded,
the
pre-tax

nationwide.
He
helped
install
the
electric

station
and
helped
with
formal
training
for
teleworkers
just
a
little
over
here.
What
best

that
prevent
measure
pass
and
I'm
going
to
be
nothing
for
it.
K
W
Have
the
program
census
building
opened
in
2004,
but
before
I
joined
the
benefits
team,
it
was
very
much
a
program
that
we
just
kind
of
let
fly
by
people
on
a
bus
pass
gave
them
their
drill-down
promotion,
nobody
monitored
it.
So,
when
I
took
over
some
of
the
stuff
that
we
do,
we
do
quarterly
commuter
fairs
on-site
here.
If
commuter
services,
metric
transit
and
our
vanpools
enterprise
come
in,
we've
seen
very
little
promotion
around
him.
W
You
get
about
50
to
60
people
at
staff
is
quartered
down
by
our
lunch
room,
I
send
out
a
monthly
email
to
new
hires
monies
and
all
about
all
the
different
services
that
we
do.
Have
we
do
company
news
stories,
breaker
posters.
We
have
our
any
benefits
guide.
We
have
a
commuter
kiosks
which
I
hear
kind
of
unique
to
a
lot
of
employers.
W
So
if
you
favor
to
to
where
we
can
point
that
out
and
show
you
where
that
is,
it
has
resources
for
all
the
different
things
that
we
offer
and
then
again
to
point
out.
I
mean
we
pay
for
the
band
fools
employee
only
be
$25
a
month
for
the
van
fold
and
then
the
Metro
Packers
are
100%
covered
and
we
have
about
20
percent
of
our
campus,
using
some
form
of
transportation,
whether
commuting
Metro
fast
and
fluid
biking.
We
have
a
couple
runners,
we
do
some
telecommuting
and
then
we
also
are
recently
installed.

She
has
overseen
tremendous
growth
in
the
department
over
the
last
10
years.
She
is
just
an
expert
at
communicating
these
programs
and
infrastructure
that
increases
livability,
allowing
people
to
bike,
walk,
take
transit
more
easily
and
we're
very
grateful
for
her.
So
I
have
Jennifer

around
commenting.

K
K
She
has
facilitated
broader
and
deeper
reach
for
commuter
services,
programs
and
campaign,
and
we
just
have
really
developed
a
deeper
relationship
which
is
great
and
and
we're
reaching
more
employees,
and
they
they
set
goals
for
engaging
employees
in
sustainable
transportation
and
they
were
met.
She
ministered
a
survey
and
Memphis
hospital
that
got
a
ton
of
responses,
and
you
created
a
catalog
of
communes
and
amenities
across
the
company
locations,
which
is
very
useful,
so
congratulation.

was
just
wondering,
is
all
very
heartening

exciting

this
great
work,
that's
happening
locally
and
I
was
the
question
headed
here

well
American
to
be
recognized
because
I
guess
the
one
thing
that
I'm
wondering
about
again
from
the
comments
amends
to
general
questions.
Many
of
the
employers
here
or
both
of
and
awared
of
things
today,
I
love
their
services.
How
would
we
reach
kind
of
the
lowest
income
up
to
one
our
community,
with
these
specific
commuter
benefits?
