Description
Planning Commission/Human Rights Commission Concurrent Meeting
A
B
So
tonight
the
planning
commission
for
those
who
are
unfamiliar.
The
planning
commission
advises
the
city
council
on
development
proposals,
development
standards,
long-range
planning
and
transportation
issues.
Some
of
the
items
planning
commission
has
final
decision
authority.
Others,
the
city
council,
will
make
the
final
decision
authority
planning
commission
is
made
up
of
seven
volunteers
who
were
appointed
by
the
city
council,
and
tonight
we
have
six,
so
we
have
a
quorum.
We
have
two
items,
two
study
items
tonight
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
chair
bosu
to
open
the
human
rights
commission
meeting.
C
C
The
purpose
of
the
human
rights
commission
is
to
aid
and
advise
the
city
council
in
ensuring
for
all
citizens
of
the
city,
equal
opportunities
in
those
areas
protected
by
the
law
and
in
such
other
affairs
as
may
affect
the
social
standards
of
the
city.
So
we
are
very
excited
here
to
meet
with
the
planning
commission
and
to
discuss
the
justice
project,
and
I
don't
know,
do
we
melissa?
Do
we
want
sharon
or
sharon
here
to
call
the
role.
C
C
C
B
E
B
And
again
before
we
started
tonight,
I
just
want
to
remind
the
folks
in
the
public
out
there
that
are
watching
tonight.
This
is
a
a
study
meeting,
so
we
will
not
be
taking
public
comment
tonight,
and
so
you
won't
see
the
phone
number
scrolling
across
the
bottom
of
the
screen,
like
you
normally
would
and
again.
This
is
a
study
meeting,
a
joint
between
planning
and
the
human
rights
commission,
and
so
we'll
start
with
our
first
item
tonight,
which
what
I'll
do
is
just
introduce
our
speakers
and
go
start
with
that.
F
There
you
go
so
yeah.
The
city
of
golden
valley
is
part
of
the
just
deeds
project.
The
just
deeds
coalition
is
a
group
of
cities,
professional
organizations,
other
municipalities,
community
organizations
and
non-profits
that
work
towards
education
regarding
systemic
racism
and
housing,
and
also
by
way
of
discharging
racially
restrictive
covenants
that
are
currently
found
on
property
deeds.
F
Slide
the
founding
members
of
the
just
eats
coalition,
the
minnesota,
assist
association
of
city,
attorneys
or
maca,
mar
the
minneapolis
area,
realtors,
mapping,
prejudice
the
city
of
golden
valley
and
edina
realty
title,
and
we
currently
have
11
participating
cities,
some
of
which
are
coming
soon,
but
they're
listed
here.
The
golden
valley,
the
just
deeds
project
and
the
process
to
discharge
covenants
really
started
in
golden
valley
with
our
human
rights
commission,
as
our
city
attorney
had
brought
up
that.
F
Had
brought
up
that,
we
were
now
able
to
sorry
pass
legislation
so
that
this
these
could
be
discharged
after
going
through
that
process
for
herself,
and
I'm
sure
maria
will
share
the
story
with
you
and
our
now
deputy
city
manager.
Excuse
me
had
gone
through
that
process
of
discharging
the
covenants
on
their
own
homes.
F
F
You
can
think
it's
an
animation,
so
what
we
want
to
do.
We
want
to
acknowledge
the
racist
practices
that
establish
and
perpetuate
segregated
housing
and
for
all
stakeholders
to
be
honest
about
the
roles
of
their
industries
in
that
practice.
That
was
why
it's
important
that
it's
a
coalition,
so
we
have
title
companies
we
have
realtors
involved.
We
have
city
attorneys,
we've
got
all
of
those
folks
that
played
a
part
in
creating
segregated
housing
and
systemic
racism
and
housing.
F
A
part
of
helping
to
dismantle
it,
and
why
is
because
to
understand
who
benefits
from
racial
covenants
and
the
legacy
that
still
shapes
access
to
homeownership
and
access
to
home
ownership,
where
you
live,
is
still
very
indicative
of
health
outcomes.
What
sorts
of
schools
you
go
to,
what
your
interactions
with
the
police?
Look
like
what
sort
of
access
you
have
to
food
to
green
space
recreation?
F
There's
a
number
of
things
outside
of
the
fact
that
one
of
the
main
structures
in
our
economy,
for
attaining
and
and
retaining
wealth
is
through
home
ownership
and
who
has
been
historically
unable
to
participate
in
that
form
of
the
economy.
Let's
go
to
the
next
little
piece
and
how
so
we
do
that
through
a
couple
of
different
means.
F
One
is
again
providing
support
through
discharging
racially
restrictive
covenants,
but
we
also
are
educating
communities
like
we
are
doing
tonight
and
individuals,
because
we
believe
that
the
change
starts
with
folks.
This
is
with
you
all.
We
need
people
to
support
all
of
the
work
that
our
you
know.
Our
lawmakers
and
and
city
staff
right
are
looking
to
do
that.
Commit
boards
and
commissions
like
yours,
recommend
for
for
councils
to
do.
F
F
F
One
fact
is
that
100
of
the
covenants
of
language
varied
over
time,
but
also
in
different
areas,
but
one
thing
that
is
true
of
all:
covenants
in
hennepin,
county
100
of
racially
restrictive,
covenants
fired
or
prohibited
the
sale,
the
purchase,
leaks
and
occupation
of
property
to
black
people,
and
so
when
we
think
about
what
that
would
mean
for
those
areas
and
and
who
could
live
where
it
makes
us.
Second,
it
makes
us
reflect
on
how
we
still
see
where
people
have
landed.
F
So
this
map
here
shows
the
you
know
the
spread
of
redlining
and-
and
we
talked
we're
talking
specifically
about
the
twin
cities-
hennepin
county,
but
this
practice
wasn't
just
in
the
twin
cities.
This
was
a
national
practice
that
happened
in
in
that
happened
largely
in
metropolitan
areas
across
the
nation.
F
The
practice,
I
think
what
we're
seeing
is
that,
as
you
know,
the
practices
is
more
on
the
east
coast
and
in
the
midwest,
primarily
because
of
you
know,
westward
expansion
not
happening
until
later,
so
larger
cities
weren't
necessarily
incorporated
in
the
early
1900s
when
this
started,
but
we
see
that
we
weren't
alone
in
this
right.
So
when
we
think
about
racism
as
a
system,
we
can't
call
this
many
areas
to
be.
F
We
can't
we
can't
call
this
many
areas,
a
coincidence
right
and
so
the
circles
and
their
colors
are
aligned
to
fha
guidelines
and
the
bigger
the
red
circle.
The
more
hazardous
than
the
area
was
considered.
So
it's
a
proportion
of
this
is
how
big
the
population
is,
so
the
bigger
the
circle,
the
more
people,
the
the
more
green
it
is,
the
more
you
know
white.
It
would
be.
F
F
G
H
E
E
K
The
fha
they
made
color-coded
maps
of
all
the
largest
cities
in
the
united
states
and
they
broke
cities
down
into
four
different
areas.
Red
is
considered
hazardous,
that's
the
worst,
yellow
is
considered.
Definitely
declining
blue
is
considered
still
desirable
and
green
is
considered
the
best
so
areas
that
were
predominantly
african-american
or
majority
minority
or
really
in
a
lot
of
cases.
Even
if
there's
a
few
non-white
people
there,
that's
often
enough
to
be
redlined,
the
fha
refused
to
give
an
area
a
green-lined
designation
again.
This
is
the
best
designation
that
they'll
offer.
K
B
K
K
Identifying
racial
covenants,
however,
has
proved
remarkably
challenging.
The
only
way
to
find
racial
covenants
are
to
read
warranty
deeds.
We're
looking
at
about
three
million
deeds
in
hennepin
county
between
1900
and
1960,
and
egd
on
average,
runs
about
three
pages,
so
we're
in
the
ballpark
of
10
million
or
so
pages
of
text.
So
what
we're
doing
with
mapping
prejudice
is
we're
using
digital
tools
to
help
us
identify
the
deeds
that
do
contain
racially
restrictive
covenants.
K
C
E
K
A
Yeah
hi
everyone,
it's
very
nice
to
be
here.
I
will
maybe
geek
out
a
little
on
some
of
this
legal
stuff.
I
see
megan
rogers
is
also
here,
so
maybe
at
least
one
person
appreciate
this
this
slide.
So
this
is
just
kind
of
a
couple
of
legal
milestones
related
to
racially
restrictive
covenants
and,
as
you
saw
in
that
video
and
kiara
explained
with
the
last
map
that
racially
restricted,
covenants
and
redlining
sort
of
went
hand
in
hand.
A
Redlining
was
the
practice
by
the
federal
government
of
saying
we're
not
going
to
lend
money
and
we're
not
going
to
back
mortgages
in
areas
that
are
populated
by
non-white.
People
and
the
practice
of
racially
restrictive
covenants
is
putting
covenants
on
a
property
that
was
being
developed
to
prohibit
bypoc
folks
from
buying
in
those
areas
and
therefore
secure
backing
from
the
federal
government
to
to
provide
mortgages
to
purchase
those
properties.
A
A
Only
white
people
can
live
here,
so
that
was
made
illegal
by
the
u.s
supreme
court
and
then
shortly
thereafter,
racially
restrictive
covenants
popped
up.
So
mapping
prejudice
found
the
first
racially
restrictive
covenant
in
hennepin
county
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
in
1910,
and
then
you
can
see
several
decades
went
by
while
people
organized
and
fought
against
covenants
until
the
40s
and
1948
is
when
a
bundle
of
cases,
three
cases
finally
reached
the
u.s
supreme
court
and
the
court
held
that
the
covenants
were
unenforceable.
A
That's
on
my
house
was
not
put
into
place
until
the
50s
and
my
house
wasn't
built
until
the
late
50s,
but
the
covenant
was
already
in
place
when
the
first
people
moved
into
my
house
and
at
that
point,
1953
covenants
were
illegal
in
minnesota,
and
so
the
minnesota
legislature
was
a
little
bit
ahead
of
the
federal
government
in
saying.
Not
only
are
they
unenforceable,
they're
also
illegal,
you
cannot
write
them
into
into
real
estate
contracts.
A
A
A
At
the
very
very
end,
I'm
not
going
to
tell
you
all
the
ins
and
outs
of
discharging
a
covenant,
because
that
would
really
be
boring
and
geeking
out,
but
basically
the
basic
profit
process
is
you
fill
out
a
form
and
you
file
it
with
the
county.
You
have
to
go
through
a
bunch
of
steps
before
you
can
do
that,
because
you
have
to
find
the
document
that
has
the
covenant
and
you
have
to
get
the
form
notarized
and
so,
as
kierra
kiara
shared
at
the
beginning.
A
A
We
had
to
pay
a
filing
fee
to
record
the
form
we
had
to
get
help
from
county
staff,
and
so
we
thought,
wouldn't
it
be
cool
to
have
a
team
of
pro
bono.
Pro
bono
attorneys,
who
would
help
golden
valley
residents
discharge
these
covenants,
and
so
that's
the
project
that
we've
started.
A
lot
of
people
ask
us
why
we
would
do
that
is
this
people
say
you
know
this
seems
very
performative.
This
is
symbolic
because
the
covenant
doesn't
actually
get
deleted
from
the
property
record.
A
What
actually
happens
is
that
another
piece
of
paper
renouncing
the
covenant
is
added
to
the
record,
so
the
covenant
is
still
in
the
property
records,
but
what
we've?
What
we
find
in
talking
to
people
that
have
gone
through
this
process
is
that,
even
though
it
is
symbolic,
it
is
the
beginning
of
a
process
that
will
lead
to
other
action
on
behalf
of
those
on
the
part
of
those
people.
So
you
know,
and
and
just
the
process
of
kind
of
reclaiming
your
space
as
an
equitable
space
is
a
really
powerful
thing.
A
So
speaking
of
outcomes,
there
are
a
lot
of
things
that
we
know
to
be
true
about
our
our
community
that
we
can
tie
back
to
racially
restrictive
covenants
and
when
we
overlay
maps
I
mean
this
is
the
beauty
of
having
mapping
prejudice,
have
mapped
this
all
out
for
hennepin
county.
It
starts
to
explain
there
a
lot
of
things
line
up
when
I
started.
Looking
at
all
these
maps,
I
thought
wow,
what's
surprising
here.
A
So
the
map
that
you're
looking
at
now
is
showing
how
racially
restrictive
covenants
divided
our
communities
by
race
and
that
these
demographic
patterns
still
exist
today,
and
so
you
can
see,
the
green
is
the
most
diverse
neighborhoods
and
the
red
is
the
least
diverse
neighborhoods,
and
when
you
overlay
this
demographic
map
with
the
racially
restrictive
covenants
map,
you'll
see
that
the
red
areas
are
the
areas
that
have
racially
restrictive
covenants,
and
so
we
heard
in
the
video
those
patterns
have
endured,
and
we
need
to
ask
ourselves
why.
Why
is
that?
A
Why
do
those
patterns
still
exist?
Two
generations
on
next
slide.
Please.
Thank
you.
There's
another
report
by
the
met
council.
I
think
it's
called
rethinking
areas
of
concentrated
poverty.
I
think
that's
what
it's
called
a
great
report.
If
you
haven't
looked
at
that,
you
should
look
at
it.
They
talk
about.
You
know
how
we
need
to
change
the
way
that
we
talk
about
certain
topics
to
move
away
from
deficit
based
language,
so
talking
about
areas
of
concentrated
poverty.
A
The
the
orange
or
yellow
is
areas
of
concentrated
areas
of
affluence.
One
of
the
reasons
this
project
has
really
taken
off
in
golden
valley
is
because
golden
valley
is
right
on
that
line
where
we
border
north
minneapolis.
Yet
we
have
a
higher
median
income
than
most
places
in
the
metro
area
and
a
higher
median
home
price,
and
so,
and
we
can
see
in
the
racially
restrictive
covenants
map
that
there's
a
wall
of
covenants
that
is
right
up
on
that
line.
A
The
demographic
patterns
hold,
and
so
the
covenant
served
a
purpose
of
keeping
people
out
even
out
of
properties
that
did
not
have
covenant
covenants
and
then
the
fact
that
those
patterns
have
endured
over
time
has
affected
people's
access
to
the
benefits
that
were
funneled
into
those
areas
of
affluence
and
so
really
good
access
to
schools,
access
to
parks
and
open
spaces.
Quality
education
home
ownership
recall
that
if
you
lived
in
the
pink
area
you
couldn't
get
a
mortgage,
so
generational
accumulation
of
wealth,
stable
employment
and
access
to
health
care.
A
F
F
F
Where
do
community
members
get
healthy
food
from
and
if
we
zone
in
a
way
that
doesn't
allow
for
clinics
or
hospitals
to
be
nearby?
Where
are
they
going
to
get
medical
care
and
so
zip
code
and
where
you
live
and
again
this
if
we
were
to
put
this
map,
if
we
were
to
overlay
this
map
with
the
red
lining
map,
we'd
see
that
areas
that
were
redlined
and
and
by
zip
code
have
lower
life
expectancies.
F
They
have
more
exposure
to
air
pollution,
less
access
to
healthy
foods,
and
these
things
are
indicators
of
of
their
there.
They
can
be
seen
in
more
than
just
life
expectancy,
but
there
are
higher
instances
of
diabetes
and
other
chronic
illnesses
because
there
aren't
there
isn't
the
economic
infrastructure
to
support
healthier
lifestyles.
We
can
move
to
the
next.
F
An
example
of
this
can
be
seen
in
two
primarily
black
neighborhoods,
one
in
saint
paul
and
one
in
minneapolis.
The
most
famous
example
is
the
rondo
neighborhood.
There
was
a
thriving
middle
class
neighborhood
in
saint
paul
and
when
they
decided
where
to
build
highway
94
they
did
it
right
in
the
middle
of
this
highway.
F
So
all
small
businesses,
all
of
the
homes
that
had
appreciated
and
that
created
stable
stabilization
for
families
they
had
built
community
were
demolished
literally
just
like
destroyed
and
not
replaced
with
with
anything
else.
The
same
happened
in
the
green
central
neighborhood
on
35
it
with
35
w
south
of
minneapolis
and
that's
an
area
that
was
highlighted
in
the
mapping,
prejudice,

F
F
All
of
this
mapping
all
of
these
opportunities
to
think
about
well
in
ways
that
this
isn't
enforceable.
We
still
see
this
and
we're
wanting
to
figure
out.
Why
here
are
examples
of
that
right,
and
this
is
why
we
need
to
understand
the
history
so
that
we
can
make
better
decisions
moving
forward.
We
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
F
Almost
a
year
to
the
day
I
purchased
a
home
and
I
had
been
in
the
home,
I'd
been
in
the
market
looking
for
homes,
and
I
hadn't
looked
and
maybe
intentionally
maybe
not
intentionally
in
north
minneapolis,
and
I
my
realtor
had
found
a
home
that
checked
almost
all
of
my
boxes.
Hard
to
find
in
the
budget
checked
all
of
your
boxes.
You're
like
I
got
to
see
it.
It
was
in
a
previously
redlined
area.
F
I
had
offered
about
twenty
thousand
dollars
left
and
I
had
offered
on
very
similar
homes
and
unredlined
neighborhoods
and
in
neighborhoods
that
probably
had
restrictive
covenants,
but
the
seller
was
nervous
that
it
wouldn't
get
appraised
because
of
the
neighborhood
that
it
was
it
it
did.
I
you
know
I'm
here
right,
but
what
that?
What
that
meant
is
that
that
seller
didn't
believe
that
the
value
would
be
recognized
in
the
home.
F
That
appraisers
wouldn't
see
that
this
was
actually
worth
the
money
that
it
was
worth
and
that
it,
this
house
hadn't,
appreciated
at
the
same
rate
as
homes
that
were
about.
I
don't
know
a
mile
and
a
half
west,
yes,
and
that's
very
real.
It
is
very
real.
There
were
homes
that
I
had
gone
to.
I
had
I
looked
at
purchasing
that
had
gone
20
or
30
dollars
over
the
list
price
and
it
had
never
occurred
to
the
seller.
F
To
not
to
tell
folks
to
stop
bidding
or
the
realtors
either
so
how
we
assess
and
maria
talked
about
this.
This
exclusivity
impacts
our
perception,
but
it
also
creates
of
what
is
a
good
neighborhood
right,
but
it
also
impacts
how
folks
accumulate
wealth
and
how
homes
are
appraised.
If
my
home
won't
be
appraised
for
x
amount
of
dollars,
how
can
I
pull
equity
to
update
my
home
so
that
it
could
be
worth
more
when
I
sell
right,
there's
a
freedom
and
attachment
to
it
and
again,
what
does
that
mean
for
the
stable
housing?
F
How
do
I
use
those
funds
and
affordable
housing
measures
to
help
fund?
My
my
kids
college
education
and
all
of
these
other
things,
wealth
accumulation
through
home
ownership
is,
is
foundational
to
the
american
economy,
and
when
you
completely
bar
folks
from
getting
into
that
system,
everything
around
wealth
accumulation
seems
to
become
impossible
without
change.
A
Yeah,
so
right
on
that
topic-
and
you
know,
as
we
mentioned
in
the
beginning,
we're
more
than
just
city
people
who
are
in
the
coalition.
We
have
mortgage
people
and
realtors
and
all
sorts
of
other
people,
because
this
is
not
just
you
know,
an
issue
that
planning
commissions
or
city
officials
can
solve.
This
is
systemic.
It's
across
the
board
right.
A
So
this
slide
is
just
demonstrating
how
this
issue
is
connected
to
mortgages
and
it's
showing
you
some
mortgage
origin,
origination
numbers
comparing
white
mortgage
originations
to
black
mortgage
originations
and
just
basically
illustrating
that
it's
much
easier
to
get
a
mortgage
if
you're
white,
that's
that's
just
the
way
that
it
is.
I
actually
before
I
became
an
attorney.
I
worked
in
the
mortgage
industry
and
I
worked
for
a
small
company
doing
originating
loans
for
latin
american
immigrants.
A
The
bulk
of
our
clients
were
non-english
speaking
and
were
first-generation
homeowners
and
first
generation
immigrants
to
the
united
states.
It
was
very
hard
work
to
help
those
folks
get
a
mortgage
and
a
lot
of
it
had
to
do
with
the
underwriting
guidelines.
There
are
things
built
into
our
lending
practices
and
rules
that
bar
certain
people
from
accessing
mortgage
loans
to
be
able
to
buy
homes.
You
know
just
like
that.
A
We
have
things
in
our
zoning
code
that
that
bar
certain
people
from
being
able
to
to
build
a
kind
of
home
that
would
suit
their
needs.
So
it's
it's
throughout
the
system
and
if
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
we'll
see
a
little
bit
more
about
homeownership
rates,
and
so
I'm
I'm
sure,
you've
heard
the
governor's
been
talking
about
this
for
the
last
year
and
I'm
sure
you've
seen
these
statistics
before.
A
But
basically
what
you're
seeing
here
is
that
white
households
in
minnesota
have
a
higher
rate
of
mortgage
applications
and
the
same
is
true
for
home
ownership.
The
home
ownership
gap
in
minnesota
is
the
largest
in
the
country.
It's
terrible.
It's
it's
a
great
place
to
live
and
to
become
a
homeowner
and
accumulate
generational
wealth
if
you're
white,
but
if
you're,
not
white,
our
statistics
are
abysmal,
and
so
we
can
once
we
start
breaking
down
this
history
and
these
other
modern
practices.
A
A
So
this
slide
is,
you
know,
as
I've
been
thinking
about
this
in
my
role,
I
think
a
lot
about
city
processes,
obviously-
and
I've
been
thinking
a
lot
about
our
zoning
code.
This
is
an
excerpt
from
the
city
of
golden
valley,
planning,
commission
minutes
from
1938
and
that,
in
fact,
I
I
think
it
was
one
of
the
first.
A
If
not
the
first
planning
commission
meeting
our
city
ever
had
you
can
see
that
these
are
some
conditions
that
were
being
placed
on
an
approval
for
a
development,
and
you
can
see
letter
g
kind
of
toward
the
bottom
says
the
premises
conveyed
shall
not
at
any
time
be
sold,
mortgaged
or
leased
to
any
person
or
persons
of
chinese,
japanese,
moorish,
mongolian
or
african
blood
or
descent.
So
this
is
out
of
city
city
planning,
commission
minutes.
A
It
also
appears
in
the
city
council
minutes
at
the
next
meeting,
where
the
city
council
approved
the
recommendation
from
the
planning
commission,
which
to
me
is
just
shocking
that
that
happened.
But
when
you
look
at
it
in
the
context
of
the
time,
it
actually
happened
all
over
the
place.
You
you
find
the
same
language
and
plats
approved
by
cities
and
other
land-use
documents,
so
it
was,
it
was
an
officially
sanctioned
thing.
It's
not
like
it
was
happening
secretly
and
only
developers
were
participating.
A
The
other
thing
that
I
noticed
when
I
was
looking
at
a
lot
of
documents
that
had
these
covenants
in
them
is
all
of
the
other
requirements
there.
You
can
see,
there's
a
minimum
cost.
There
is
a
requirement
about
garages.
There
is
a
single
family
dwelling
requirement,
letter
c,
so
single
family
zoning.
All
of
these
things
were
in
these
documents
before
cities
had
zoning
codes
and
then
at
some
point,
cities
started
started.
A
There
are
more
that
fit
in
that
box,
but
you
know
I
would
encourage
you
to
think
about
what
what
other
policies
your
city
might
have
in
your
zoning
code
that
maybe
are
having
this
impact
and
to
start
thinking
about
whether
it's
time
to
change
those-
and
that
is
part
of
what
the
cities
who
are
part
of
the
just
deeds
coalition
are
thinking
about
together.
There
are
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
cities.
Thinking
about
this,
I
think
the
met
council
is
convening
some
meetings
on
this
topic.
D
D
And
then
here's
a
just
shows
the
geographical
distribution,
and
I
think,
if
you
kind
of
take
a
look
and
see
on
this
chart,
you'll
notice
that
a
lot
of
our
minority
populations
are
living
in
the
east
side
of
bloomington
and
in
particular
up
in
the
northeast
region
of
the
city
and
as
we
look
at
where
some
of
the
racial
covenants
are
located
in
bloomington,
which
glenn
will
share
here
shortly.
You'll
see
where
we're
seeing
lower
minority
populations
in
relation
to
where
many
of
those
covenants
on
the
bloomington
properties
are
located.
I
I
So
if
you
watched
that
documentary
jim
crow,
the
north
talked
a
lot
about
the
mapping
prejudice
project-
and
this
is
the
website-
mapping
prejudice-
if
you
want
to
you,
know,
explore
this
in
more
detail.
Just
google
mapping
prejudice,
but
on
their
website
they
have
a
kind
of
a
time
lapse
of
the
distribution
of
restrictive
covenants
over
the
years
from
1910
to
1955
and
I'll
start
that
time
lapse.
Here
you
can
see
the
numbers
I
took
up
here
and
the
locations
start
to
take
effect
bloomington
here,
starting
in
the
1920s,
seeing
the
first
covenants
in
bloomington.
I
I
I
Multiple
parcels
were
combined,
but
in
most
cases
it
was
subdivided.
So
now
we
have
about
500
parcels
in
the
city
that
overlay
on
those
original
covenants,
and
you
can
see
the
distribution
here
throughout
the
city,
the
earliest
were
in
the
1920s,
the
latest
in
the
1940s.
Although
some
of
these
do
not
have
dates
attached,
so
it
might
have
extended
into
the
1950s
to
give
you
an
idea
of
this
data.
If
we
zoom
in
this
is
a
parcel
adjacent
to
duan
golf
course.
I
The
red
line
is
the
boundary
of
the
parcel
back
in
the
1920s,
and
it
was
there
was
a
covenant
attached
to
that
over
time.
The
land
was
subdivided
and
there
are
now
seven
parcels
that
include
land
that
was
part
of
that
original
covenant.
So
within
their
chain
of
title
and
indeed
documents,
they
would
have
the
restrictive
covenant
in
place.
I
I
It
tells
you
the
date
in
this
case,
1928,
grant
or
grantee,
and
then
some
document
numbers
as
well,
so
that
information
is
available
for
each
of
these
covenants.
If
we
zoom
out
a
little
bit,
you
know
another
area,
just
north
of
normandale
lake,
so
this
area
used
to
be
single-family
very
large
lot
subdivision.
That's
been
extensively,
subdivided
and
redeveloped,
and
since
then,
so
now
days
we
have
town
homes
in
the
area.
We
have
a
condo
tower.
I
We
have
office
buildings
and
we
have
publicly
owned
open
space
as
well
and
again
within
the
chain
of
title
of
all
of
those
properties.
Are
these
restricted
covenants
in
terms
of
city
ownership
and
hra
ownership
of
land
that
has
covenants?
We
found
that
18
city-owned
parcels
have
covenants,
they
were
not
covenanted
by
the
city,
but
the
city
acquired
the
property
over
the
years.
I
I
We
have
several
parcels
now:
city
owned
along
gerard
avenue
that
were
acquired
for
potential
freeway
expansion,
other
parcels
that
are
now
part
of
I-35w
where
the
covenants
existed
and
then
the
one
hra
onward
on
87th
street,
so
yeah
just
a
little
bit
about
the
distribution
in
bloomington
of
this
covenant.
So
at
this
point
I'll
return
it
back
to
melissa.
A
A
That's
something
if
you
saw
on
the
time
lapse,
map
from
mapping
prejudice
even
pretty
early
on.
There
are
covenants
popping
up
around
lake
minnetonka
they're
in
golden
valley.
We
have
covenants
along
the
board
of
minneapolis,
which
is
typical
for
all
the
inner
ring
suburbs,
but
also
near
medicine.
Lake,
and
another
thing
is
that
another
pattern
we
see
is
that
covenants
often
appear
around
green
space
or
open
spaces,
and
I
think
I
saw
that
on
that
map
that
you
just
shared
as
well.
A
So
those
are
I
I
would
expect
and
as
mapping
prejudice
continues
to
map
they're
they're
going
to
come
out
with
a
map
of
ramsey
county
and
probably
the
next
six
weeks,
they'll
publish
a
preliminary
map
and
then
they
expect
to
have
by
the
fall
kind
of
the
final
map
for
ramsey
county.
I
would
expect
we'll
see
those
patterns
in
ramsey
county
and
then
the
city
of
rochester
also
joined
just
aids
recently,
and
they
don't
have
data
and
mapping
data
from
mapping
prejudice
they're
going
to
discover
where
the
covenants
are
in
their
community.
F
Thank
you,
maria,
and
so
one
of
the
questions
that
we
get
almost
every
time
that
we
do
a
presentation
is
well.
Why
does
this
matter
and
the
entire
point
of
this
presentation
today
and
all
and
every
time
that
we
talk
to
folks,
is
because
our
unders,
our
belief,
is
that,
in
order
to
disrupt
the
system,
you
have
to
know
where
it
started.
F
F
F
We
got
very
creative
right
and
now,
when
we
think
about
well
how
come
these
affordable
housing
initiatives?
They
don't
they're,
not
working
right,
we
create
subsidized
housing
and
that
and
it
doesn't
it's
not
working,
it
hasn't
done
anything
we're
not
seeing
the
gains.
Well,
that's
because
it
it's
only
taken.
What's
been
one
generation,
maybe
two
and
that's
just
the
tip
of
the
iceberg
right.
F
What
I,
what
is
important
to
just
deeds
coalition
members
is
that
we
recognize
that
the
start
and
the
foundation
are
the
deeds
amongst
a
bunch
of
other
systems.
But
the
real
work
is
it's
not
going
to
take
you
long
to
discharge
500
deeds!
That's
not
going
to
take
you
long
at
all.
Minneapolis
got
more
deed
applications
in
a
week
than
you
have
in
your
entire
city,
and
that's
that's
a
fact
right.
F
When
we
think
about
what
does
it
really
mean?
What
does
economic
opportunity?
Wealth
accumulation
really
mean
for
that
80
percent
of
black
residents
that
have
that
do
not
own
a
home
in
bloomington
that
have
that
live
here
and
have
not
had
access
to
that.
What
does
that
mean
and
how?
How
can
their
wealth
amass
when
they're
no
longer
cost
burdened
by
rent,
and
maybe
now
every
payment
is
going
towards
their
own
wealth
accumulation
right?
How
do
we
make
that
more
accessible?
F
F
So
what
can
you
do
you
can
discharge
covenants?
Do
that
that's
important
right!
Do
that?
Please
fill
out
this
form.
The
county
has
got
it.
If
you
know
golden
valley
is
doing
if
just
deeds
does
not.
If
your
city
doesn't
have
just
these
golden
valleys,
it's
helping
process
that
maria
you
had
your
hand
up.
What
do
you
want
to
say.
F
Absolutely
you
can
do
that
too
yeah.
You
can
hit
the
next
one
you
can
learn.
These
are
just
two
websites.
There's
tons
of
learning
maria
mentioned
two
books.
You
can
watch
jim
crow
of
the
north
continue
to
learn,
because
this
was
just
a
very
high
level
overview,
but
the
more
that
you
look
at
data
with
the
lens
knowing
where
it
comes
from.
We
can
look
at
data
all
day
without
having
the
lens
of
understanding
what
that
means
right.
F
When
you
look
at
home
ownership-
and
you
see
those
rates,
you
could
very
well
frame
it
in
a
way
what's
wrong
with
them,
why
aren't
they
buying
houses?
They
must
like
to
rent?
Oh
no,
but
wait
now.
I
know
this.
That's
not
the
circumstance
right
so
continue
to
learn.
There's
tons
of
resources
out
there
and
then
the
last
one.
F
The
last
one
is
act
and
share
so,
like
I
said
you
have
a
finite
number
of
deeds
in
the
community.
Those
will
get
discharged
joining
the
justice
coalition.
The
work
of
justice
is
beyond
that.
How
do
we
create?
How
do
we
recreate
systems?
How
do
we
change
policies?
How
do
we
re-examine
our
practices,
our
narratives,
what
we
think
about
our
neighbors
and
people
that
want
to
be
our
neighbors?
F
F
A
F
F
It
provides
a
number
of
props
tools,
links
things
that
you've
seen
here
to
create
your
own
type
of
presentation,
if
you'd
like
or
just
ways
to
facilitate
conversations
with
your
neighbors
or
other
folks
that
you
know
to
to
pass
on
the
education
paying
it
forward,
it
does
start
with
the
self.
So
it
does
start
with
self
reflection,
making
sure
that
you
feel
prepared,
because
some
folks
don't
feel
prepared
some
folks.
F
F
D
M
Yeah,
thank
you
hi,
I'm
anita
smithson.
I
am
on
the
human
rights
commission
and
I
actually
recognize
my
old
neighborhood,
my
husband
and
I
lived
in
bloomington
since
2009
and
on
that
map
it's
at
hague
park,
but
it's
around
lower
penn
lake
and
my
house
was
not
one
of
the
ones.
My
old
house
was
not
one
of
the
ones
on
that
list
with
the
racial
covenants,
but
quite
a
few.
You
know
across
the
street.
M
You
know
people
that
I
know
because
I
lived
with
you
know
I
was
their
neighbor
for
nine
years.
Have
those-
and
so
I
am
really
interested
in
you
know
in
this
work
in
general,
but
also
getting
into
my
old
neighborhood
and
having
those
conversations
with
people
that
I
already
have
those
relationships
with
one
kind
of
weird
or
interesting,
and
I
don't
know
if
it's
unique
to
bloomington
dynamic.
M
There
are
so
many
folks
in
my
old
neighborhood
and
in
my
new
neighborhood,
who
are
either
the
children
or
grandchildren
of
the
people
who
were
the
original
owners
or
built
the
house.
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
is
common
in
other
communities
as
well,
and-
and
you
know
I
know
it's
really
hard
sometimes-
and
I
you
know,
see
my
role-
you
know
as
a
very
privileged
white
person
who
has
been
fortunate
to
benefit
from
that
generational
wealth.
M
You
know
from
our
families
being
able
to
pass
on
homes,
sort
of
how
to
get
past
that,
like
you,
know,
probably
defensiveness,
I'm
thinking
that
some
may
have
you
know
when
they
think
like
I'm
confronting
them.
You
know
talking
to
them
about
their
house
and
how
you
know
their
grandparents
or
their
parents
built
it,
and,
and
so
I'm
hoping
that,
maybe
that
toolkit
will
have
some
of
those
resources.
But
I
think
this
is
really
important
work
and,
of
course,
all
of
the.
M
F
Yeah
one
of
the
things-
and
this
is
common-
is
recognizing
the
difference
between
individual
and
systemic
racism
right.
So
I
don't
know
if
a
lot
of
folks
were
aware-
and
maybe
they
were
right
like
they-
they
purchased
the
home.
They
purchased
the
land
to
build
the
home
because
it
had
certain
amenities
and
certain
folks
weren't
going
to
be
there.
That's
all
none
right!
You
passed
this.
F
The
home
was
passed
down
to
you
and
you
live
here
and
who
wouldn't
take
that
opportunity
so
calling
out
and
saying
that
this
is
what
exists
is
really
just
one
you're,
not
it's
not
just
about
you
like
as
much
as
we
would
like
to
think.
This
is
not
about
you,
but
this
is
about
a
greater
system
right
so
and
thinking
about
what
the
greater
implications
of
that
are.
F
If
we
have
a
hard
time
thinking
about
oh
okay,
well,
one
having
a
home
passed
down
to
me
is
a
privilege,
and
I
recognize
that
a
lot
of
folks
haven't
had
that
opportunity.
But
two
if
we
don't
start
to
change
systems,
that
means
other
people
are
still
not
going
to
be
able
to
have
that
opportunity
right.
So
this
is
about
train
like
identifying
yep,
my
grandparents,
my
parents.
I
have
benefited
from
a
system
of
racism.
Yeah
that's
tough,
to
deal
with
process,
but
we
can
interrupt
that
and
do
something
different
right.
We
can.
F
We
can
start
a
new
page,
so
it's
not
about
the
individual
act.
No
one!
No
one
doesn't
I
mean
that's
the
way
it's
supposed
to
work.
No
one
wants
you
to
not
have
your
home.
That's
what
this
conversation
is
not
that
you
shouldn't
live
here.
The
conversation
hey
did
you
know
that
this
is
a
system
that
either
you
know,
benefited
you,
but
then
disenfranchised
others.
A
It's
affected
us
all,
because
it's
it's
fundamental
to
how
our
community
is
organized
and
what
opportunities
we
each
have
available.
So
the
story
that
I
share
is
I
live
in
a
house
right
now
in
golden
valley
that
has
a
racially
restrictive
covenant.
My
husband
is
from
venezuela
and
is
a
mixed
race.
Latino
man,
my
children
are
mixed
race
latino
and
I
am
white
and
I
grew
up
in
robinsdale
my
grandparents
grew
owned
a
home.
My
grandma
actually
still
lives
a
mile
away
from
me
in
golden
valley.
A
Her
house
didn't
have
a
covenant,
but
is
one
block
outside
of
a
covenanted
area
in
golden
valley.
They
built
their
home
in
the
50s,
and
my
dad
grew
up
there.
So
at
that
time,
if,
if
my
family
had
been
trying
to
buy
a
home,
my
husband
and
I
at
the
same
time
that
my
grandparents
were
buying
their
home,
we
wouldn't
have
been
able
to.
We
wouldn't
have
been
able
to
live
in
this
neighborhood.
A
We
would
have
been
restricted
to
being
able
to
buy
homes
only
in
places
where
we
couldn't
get
mortgages
and
a
whole
trickle
of
things
would
have
been
very
much
very
different
for
my
kids
and
my
grandkids
than
it
was
for
my
dad
and
for
me,
and
so
understanding
that
that
kind
of
puts
it
in
perspective
to
understand
what
a
disadvantage
it
is
to
not
have
access
to
that.
The
the
things
that
my
family
had
access
to,
and
that's
not
my
grandparents
fault
that
I
have
access
to.
A
That's
probably
it's
not
unique
to
my
family
is
the
family
narrative,
because
the
narrative
sometimes
reinforces
negative
stereotypes
about
people
from
other
races.
For
instance,
my
family,
my
grandpa,
grew
up
very
poor
in
robinsdale.
His
dad
was
like
the
town
drunk
and
was
kind
of
in
and
out
of
the
home,
and
he
decided
at
a
young
age
that
he
was
not
gonna.
Do
that
and
he
was
gonna.
A
You
know
pull
himself
up
by
his
bootstraps
and
lo
and
behold
all
of
his
grandkids
kids
have,
you
know,
went
to
college
and
have
master's
degrees
or
whatever
more
we
all
own
houses.
None
of
us
are
divorced.
It's
just!
Oh,
my
gosh.
Look
at
all
these
things,
my
grandpa
achieved
by
hard
work
and
his
own
gumption,
but
really
what
happened
that
was
kind
of
the
narrative.
Really.
What
happened
is
he
went
to
the
military
at
towards
the
tail
end
of
world
war
ii
for
a
year
he
came
back.
A
A
My
my
family
were
irish
and
italian
and
came
in
the
mid
1800s,
because
we
were
my
ancestors
were
very
poor
in
europe
and
being
oppressed
in
europe.
So
they
came
here,
but
they
were
able
to
build
wealth
because
they
had
access
to
subsidy
from
the
government,
and
that
was
a
good
thing
it,
and
it
is
a
good
thing
now
too,
and
but
that
needs
to
be
acknowledged
because
we
have
all
sorts
of
narratives
around
government
subsidy
and
those
narratives,
at
least
in
my
experience,
have
not
been
acknowledged
historically
for
people
of
my
ethnicity.
M
E
A
You'll
they'll
pop
up
right
when
you
google
them,
but
also,
if
you
go
to
justdeeds.org,
we
have
a
bunch
of
books
and
articles
listed
links
to
a
bunch
of
things.
We
have
a
bunch
of
videos.
My
favorite
video
there
is
adam
ruins
the
suburbs.
I
don't
know
if
you
guys
are
familiar
with
adam
maroon's
everything.
It's
like
these
hilarious
shorts,
about
how
everything
is
messed
up.
C
I
have
a
quick
question.
First
of
all,
I
just
want
to
thank
maria,
and
I
want
to
thank
kiara,
akira
and
melissa,
and
was
it
messing
on
the
names
here
glenn.
Thank
you
for
putting
together
that
awesome
presentation,
and
I
think
that
was
very
very
well
done.
I
think
it
was
very
informative.
I
also
think
you
gave
us
a
lot
to
think
about
in
terms
of
the
direction
that
we
want
to
take
this
project.
C
So
I
guess
my
question
as
the
chair
of
the
human
rights
commission
is
really
thinking
about
the
direction
you
know
as
we
think
about
taking
on
this
work.
You
know
I
I
you
know
discharging
the
deeds,
as
you
said,
will
will
not
will
probably
be
the
easy
part
right
and
then
there's
the
education
piece,
and
I
think
obviously
that
is
incredibly
important
and
is
something
that
we
can
definitely
take
on
as
a
human
rights
commission.
I'm
thinking
more
about.
C
Do
you
have
any
examples
of
whether
that
be
the
golden
right
or
golden
valley,
human
rights,
commission,
or
any
other
examples
from
the
justice
project
as
ways
in
which
they've
worked
with
city
councils
to
work
on
policy
or
just
even
in
terms
of
the
action
piece
of
that?
Do
you
have
any
examples
of
how
that
has
worked
out
with
different
projects.
F
Not
yet
right
it's
in
the
works,
so
we
have
to
think
justice
as
a
coalition
started
a
year
or
maybe
not
not
really.
A
year
ago,
I
think
I
started
in
september
of
2020
and
I
think
at
that
point
we
there
was
just
founding
members
right.
We
hadn't
had
any
cities,
I
think,
by
december
of
2020.
I
think
we
had
just
had
robinsdale
in
new
hopes,
or
there
was
like
three
cities
and
now,
after
our
website
launch
and
and
some
other
things
now,
we've
got
we've
gotten
up
to
11..
F
So
this
is
very,
very
new.
As
far
as
what
the
coalition
and
cities
are
doing,
I
will
say
that
what
we've
done
is
our
golden
valley.
Staff
did
do
a
very
similar
presentation
to
all
of
our
commissions,
something
that
we've
created
for
all
of
our
commissions
in
the
name
of
just
deeds,
is
that
in
their
work
plan
they
have
to
outline
an
equity
related
goal.
So
our
city
has
an
equity
plan.
All
of
our
commissions
are
aware.
Our
board
and
commissions
are
aware
of
that.
F
F
So
what
makes
sense
for
bloomington
as
far
as
policy,
where
you
are,
what
your
council
is
is
interested
in
is
in
far
as
far
as
you
know,
affordable
housing
or
or
race,
equity
and
housing
is
going
to
be
a
lot
different
than
maybe
even
golden
valley,
so
I
would
say
be
as
be
really
super
creative.
One
of
the
things
that
we've
been
reading
about
lately
is
evanston
illinois.
I
don't
know
if
you've
heard
about
that,
but
you
know
they've
started
things.
F
As
you
know:
models
for
reparations,
there's
other
cities,
there's
I'm
freaking,
I'm
blanking
on
the
name.
California
has
been
doing
some
other
city
in
california,
it's
on
the
tip
of
my
tongue
and
I'm
just
not
able
to
spit
it
out
right
now,
but
there's
a
city
in
california.
That's
also
doing
some
really
cool
things
on
a
policy
level
and
maybe
looking
at
how
you
can
amend
those
to
to
your
city.
F
I
would,
I
would
start
there,
but,
like
I
said,
we've
we
are
very
just
deeds
and
its
affiliates
are
very
much
in
the
infancy.
There
may
be
other
really
cool
things
that
they've
done
before
they
joined
justice
because
folks
have
just
started
right:
minneapolis
just
got
rid
of
single
family
zoning
this
year,
and
then
they
you
know
right,
and
I
think
they
announced
it
like
right
after
they
joined
justines.
F
A
Yeah,
I
will
say
in
the
realm
of
planning,
there's
a
lot
that
can
be
done
and
the
hope
is
that
there
will
be
a
lot
of
collaboration
among
the
justine
cities
to
try
new
things
and
look
at
policies
together
and
how
to
how
to
change
things
together.
You
know
there
are
cities
like
crystal
recently
did
an
accessory
dwelling
unit
analysis
and
they
they
enacted
some
changes
to
allow
accessory
dwelling
units
and
even
something
as
simple
as
understanding
as
they
were
evaluating
that
new
ordinance
that
it
shouldn't
only
be
offered
to
homeowners.
A
It
should
also
be
available
to
rental
properties.
I
mean
that
is
something
that,
when,
if
you
don't
have
any
training
or
background
in
this,
this
history,
you
might
think
oh
yeah.
That
makes
sense.
But
once
you
understand
this
background,
then
you
you
it's
pretty
clear
that
that's
a
policy
decision
that
will
impact
what
populations
have
access
to
that
particular
that
particular
option
housing
option
right.
So
there
are
a
million
examples
of
that
in
zoning
codes.
A
I
mean
there
are
everything
from
lot
sizes
to
you
know:
multi-family
housing,
placement,
all
sorts
of
things.
So
you
know:
we've
been
talking
to
the
the
minnesota
chapter
of
the
american
planning
association
and
they're
interested
in
working
with
our
member
cities
to
to
develop
these
equity
tools
to
apply
to
zoning
codes
so
that
we
can
start
to
identify
what
policies,
because
we
have
very
similar
ordinances.
A
The
other
very,
very
first
thing
that
to
think
about
is
training
because
you
know,
if
you
listen
to
public
hearings
on
land
use
decisions,
you
will
hear
a
lot
of
things
that
are
rooted.
A
lot
of
comments
that
are
rooted
in
this
history.
You'll
hear
comments
about
assumptions
about,
what's
going
to
happen
to
value
property
that
can
be
traced
right
back
to
fha
underwriting
manuals.
Talking
about
you,
know,
values
being
higher
in
and
places
that
are
more
exclusive.
A
A
These
are
things
that
we
hear
all
the
time
and
we've
heard
all
the
time
for
a
long
time,
so
they're
very
normalized
and
they
don't
really
stand
out.
You
know
they're,
just
kind
of
feel
like
oh
yeah,
that's
what
everyone
says.
So
it
must
be
true
and
it
must
be
a
valid
basis
for
my
decision
making,
and
we
need
to
teach
ourselves
to
hear
that
differently
and
to
understand
the
history
behind
and
to
really
question,
because
sometimes
it
is
true
that
a
certain
land
use
decision
might
erode
value.
But
a
lot
of
times.
C
Thank
you
so
much
for
the
answer.
That
was
very,
very
helpful
and
you
guys
had
actually
plenty
of
examples
in
there
of
policy
and
thank
you
kara
for
the
stockton,
california,
but
yeah,
and
I
I
totally
agree
maria
in
terms
of
what
you
were
talking
about
with
the
the
the
language
that
we
use
to
talk
about
space
just
in
general,
and
I
think
that's
incredibly
important
to
in
terms
of
that
training
you
were
talking
about.
Thank
you.
H
Thank
you.
Thank
you
to
the
staff
and
everyone
for
their
your
work
and
putting
this
together
for
us.
I
know
I
have
heard
from
people
in
the
city
who
have
asked
us
to
be
working
on
this,
so
I
know
it's
on
the
minds
of
folks,
not
necessarily
folks
who
live
in
properties
that
have
these
deeds
question
I
was
wondering,
is:
are
there
any
cities
that
have
had
conversations
about
or
have
taken
any
steps
down
the
road?
H
Because
again
we
have
about
you
know
500
seems
like
a
big
number,
but,
as
you
mentioned
you
know,
cities
have
dealt
with
that
many
in
a
week
or
received
that
are
there
any
cities
that
have
done
anything
on
a
systemic
basis
to
say
you
know
what
these
are:
the
areas
of
the
properties
for
the
people
who
own
these
properties.
You
know
we're
going
to
deal
with
these
in
a
foul
swoop
or,
as
the
county
had
any
conversations
about.
H
If
people
bring
these
forward,
we're
not
going
to
charge
the
fee,
we're
not
going
to
do
otherwise,
how
do
we
make
it
so
that
again,
this
is
just
a
first
step,
but
if
this
first
step
you
know
people
are
if
this
first
step
is
oh
so
hard,
then
then
the
next
step
is
oh,
my
gosh.
That
was
so
hard.
Can
we
just
take
a
break
and
we
don't
want
to
do
that?
I
think
so
is.
Has
anyone
had
any
conversations
about
you
know?
H
Okay,
yep
in
bloomington
we're
gonna
have
a
four-month
period
where
you
can
come
forward
and
say
I
want
to
be
on
this
and
then
we're
going
to
put
them
in
a
bucket
and
we're
going
to
take
them
all
forward.
The
county
says
yep
and
we're
going
to
let
you
run
those
through
and
we're
gonna.
This
is
the
right
thing
to
do
and
we're
not
gonna,
add
50
bucks,
a
person
to
try
to
get
this
done.
H
Just
thinking
a
lot
about
how
we
can
advocate
for
and
push
this
up
as
well,
because
I
think
there
is
a
desire
in
the
community
to
at
least
to
the
people
that
I've
heard
from
to
to
move
this
and
and
to
to
do
that.
I
think
also
the
other
fellow,
my
fellow
planning,
commissioners,
if
you
have
not
read
the
color
of
bloods,
it
is
a
very
good
book,
especially
from
the
context
of
our
work.
A
Yeah,
maybe
I
could
talk
about
the
process
cara
and
then
you
can
address
the
fatigue
question
that
is
embedded
in
there.
That
was
really
a
good
question.
The
process
is
specific
to
the
property
owner,
so
each
property
owner
has
to
do
it
individually,
because
no
one
else
has
the
right
to
file
this
document
other
than
the
property
owner
just
deeds.
We
are
working
with
the
county
and
the
county
has
waived
the
filing
fee,
so
there's
no
recording
fee
and
has
given
all
of
our
pro
bono
attorneys
free
access
to
all
the
county
records.
A
So
if
somebody
wants
to
do
the
discharge
process
through
just
deeds
really
what
the
process
for
the
homeowner
is
is
they
send
an
application
which
is
a
form
with
your
name
and
address
on
it
to
the
city,
the
city?
We
we
kind
of
pre-screen
those
to
make
sure
that
they
have
a
covenant.
We
look
at
the
mapping,
prejudice
data
and
if
they
don't
have
a
covenant,
we
send
them
an
email
back
that
says
you
don't
have
a
covenant,
but
here's
what
you
should
do
next,
here's
some
ideas.
A
Here's
some
things
you
could
read
here
are
some
people
you
could
talk
to.
If
they
do
have
a
covenant,
we
send
that
on
to
an
attorney
and
then
the
attorney
and
the
property
owner
work
together.
I've
discharged
several
of
these
for
myself
and
for
my
neighbors,
and
it
takes
about
an
hour
so
and
really
for
the
the
client.
It's
a
couple
of
emails
is
really
all
it
is.
If
you
have
torrent's
property,
you
don't
even
have
to
sign
anything.
A
If
you
have
abstract
property,
you
have
to
go
out
of
your
way
to
get
a
sign,
signed
and
notarized
one
document
and
then
get
that
to
the
attorney.
But
by
bringing
you
don't
need
an
attorney
to
do
this,
but
by
bringing
the
attorneys
in
it
kind
of
just
makes
it
really
easy
for
the
property
owner
to
do
it
to
avoid
kind
of
what
you're
what
you're
talking
about,
because
when
I
did
it
for
the
first
time
I
thought
geez,
I'm
an
attorney,
and
this
took
me
a
while.
A
No
one
else
is
going
to
do
this
and
it's
a
shame
because
there's
a
reason
that
people
wanted
this
statute
in
place
and
then
we
hope
by
not
tiring
people
out
in
that
process.
We
get
them
on
to
the
next
phase,
which
is
to
do
the
things
that
really
matter
and
then
kiara
I'll
just
turn
it
over
to
you
to.
We
get
this
question
a
lot
by
the
way.
Oh
one
other
thing,
the
county
actually
did
pass
a
resolution
and
recorded
it
against
all
of
these
properties.
A
F
So,
let's
just
we,
I
like
to
frame
it
that
way,
right,
you're,
tired,
but
imagine
how
tired
you
must
be
if
you
have
to
try
this
hard.
If
it
takes
you
five
more
times
to
you
are
five
times
less
likely
to
be
able
to
own
a
home.
Remember
how
hard
that
was
remember
how
many
papers
you
had
to
sign.
Remember
how
much
you
had
to
give
everything,
but
a
blood
sample
right
to
buy
your
house
think
about
how
much
harder
that
is
right.
So
we
think
about
that
in
regards
to
fatigue.
F
But
the
other
thing
too,
is
that
there
is
that
that's
a
it's!
A
phenomenon
right
that
racial
justice
fatigue
and
social
justice
fatigue
is
real,
but
there's
two
ways
and
what
we
don't
want
is
folks
to
move
towards
apathy
right.
So
I
tell
people
that
make
sure
that
you're
doing
those
things
for
self-care.
How
are
you
taking
care
of
yourself
in
this
time
right?
What
are
you
doing
to
find
joy?
What
are
you
doing
to
to
be
at
peace?
F
The
other
thing
I
ask
people
is:
what
do
you
need
to
be?
Do
you
need
to
you
need?
Usually
what
folks
need
to
be
shocked
out
of
out
of
fatigue
is
a
new
new
information
or
inspiration
right.
So
this
is
why
the
education
piece
is
important
when
you
find
out
something
new,
a
different
way
that
it
impacts
you,
it
can
reinvigorate
you
right,
channel
that
energy
into
doing
something,
emoted
and
use
it.
The
other
thing
is
inspiration
watching
something
that
is
oh.
This
is
actually
working
right.
F
H
Right,
thank
you
both
that
sucks.
I
just
my
main
thing.
Is
we
this
first
step?
If
we
can
make
it
successful,
it
becomes
a
lot
easier
to
continue
building
success
and
that
and
you're
the
things
you
spoke
about.
We
have
at
least
in
our
our
commission,
we've
heard
in
as
recently
as
a
few
weeks
ago
on
some
things
that
we've
seen
there
are
some
issues
that
are
repetitive
and
so
yeah.
H
I
think
our
work
is,
as
we
think,
about
our
own
standards
in
our
code
and
that
we
can
head
some
of
those
things
off
by
either
removing
certain
requirements
or
making
other
things
entitlements
and
that'll
take
that'll.
Take
time
I
mean
we
will
work
on
that,
but
again
making
sure
that
if
this
first
step
is
successful
in
a
win,
then
that
builds
the
energy
to
continue
with
the
people
who
either
we
need
his
allies
or
the
people
who
may
want
to
derail
our
work
in
this
area.
That's
all
that
happened.
D
M
I'm
sorry
can
I
ask
one
more
question,
and
this
is
not
for
this
is
more
for
bloomington,
but
I
know
that
I
feel
strongly
that
we
should
be
a
coalition
member
of
the
just
eats
project.
So
I
just
don't
know
like
what
we
would
need
to
do
to
do
that,
like
what
the
procedural
thing
who
makes
that
decision-
and
you
know
if
our
commissions
need
to
take
that
up
separately
and
if
council
needs
to
sign
on
or
what
kind
of
that
next
step
would
be.
M
C
C
All
right
perfect,
so
I'm
going
to
introduce
emily
larson,
who
is
an
outreach
and
engagement
coordinator,
so
emily
is
going
to
lead
the
commissions
through
a
conversation
to
reflect
on
the
presentation
and
to
consider
next
steps,
as
we
just
talked
about
so
this
is
also
going
to
include
two
motions
so
for
each
of
the
commissions
we
will,
at
the
end
of
this
discussion,
make
a
motion
to
vote
on
so
emily.
Take
it
away.
J
So
I'm
here
just
to
guide
us
through
discussion,
and
so
the
purpose
here
is
to
have
an
opportunity
for
everyone
to
reflect
on
what
it
is
you
learned
from
kiara
and
from
maria
and
melissa
and
glenn,
and
through
that
reflection,
identify
some
key
takeaways
and
then
take
us
into
next
steps,
and
so
during
this
time
I
invite
you,
as
I
guide
some
questions
to
unmute
your
microphone
and
share
verbally
with
the
group,
and
you
can
also
share
in
the
chat
box
if
you're
more
comfortable.
That
way.
J
So,
if
you
choose
to
participate
with
the
chat,
you
can
find
it
in
the
bottom
right
hand
corner
of
your
screen
and
just
make
sure
that
you
indicate
you
want
the
message
to
go
to
everyone
and
there's
some
different
options.
If
you
click
on
there's
a
drop
down,
so
you
could
send
it
just
to
the
host
just
to
presenters.
But
I
encourage
you
to
send
it
to
everyone.
So
we
can
see
what
it
is.
J
E
Hey
I
can,
I
can
go
some
claudia,
I
think.
For
me,
the
the
data
that
stood
out
were
the
number
of
the
hispanic
owners
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
Just
because
you
know
me,
I
identify
myself
as
a
hispanic
individual
and
as
as
a
bloomington
resident.
I
don't
have
any
neighbors
who
look
like
me
or
who
look
or
any
kids
in
my
neighborhood
that
look
like
my
children
and
so
that
that
was
very
eye
opening.
I
knew
the
levels
the
numbers
were
low
for
the
city
of
bloomington.
E
E
E
E
A
A
C
E
E
I
grew
up
in
in
texas,
so
I
was
new
to
the
city
and
it
was
my
first
home
is
is
here
in
bloomington,
and
so
this
question
made
no
sense
to
me
whatsoever,
but
my
husband
grew
up
in
bloomington,
so
he
knew
exactly
where
people
were
getting
at
and
I
just
had
no
idea
until
he
later
explained
to
me,
and
so
even
to
this
day,
people
will
make
comments
about.
Oh,
where
are
you
going
to
send
your
kids?
Have
you
thought
of
the
school
in
the
west
side?
E
E
B
I
think
just
a
thing,
maybe
that
it's
not
specific
to
what
was
said
in
the
presentation,
but
just
overall
that
certainly
this
process
was
sponsored
by
government
and
thinking
about
this
tonight,
a
little
bit
more,
and
even
some
of
the
questions
about
fatigue
is.
This
is
not
something
that
is
individual
to
a
person.
H
I
think
if
there
were
an
opportunity
to
affect
change
at
a
I
don't
know
opportune
time
is
the
right
word,
but
you
know
the
the
data
that
was
given
to
us
that
was
from
2018.
I
think
it
was
72
percent
white
and
28
non-white
something
around
there,
but
I
I
look
at
the
schools
that
our
children
attend
and
our
schools
are
much
more
much
much
less
white
and
much
more
individuals
of
color
and
if
our
community
is
is
moving
into
an
increasingly
less
white
community.
L
That
is,
that
gap
continues
to
stay.
And
then
we
looked
into
the
field
of
education,
and
then
you
find
the
same
gap,
and
it's
all
related
in
in
whatever
we're
seeing
happening
right
now
in
in
our
society.
Has
that
relation
to
that
relationship
that
that
that
connection
with
with
the
past?
And
so
the
importance
of
acknowledging
of
become
being
aware,
always
of
where
this
is
all
coming
from
the
importance
of
like
you
had
mentioned
too.
L
J
E
So
that
to
me
is
key,
is
just
continuing
to
educate
myself
but
also
create
awareness
and
share
with
my
own
network,
my
own
platform
around
around
this
issue
that
exists
here
in
our
own
hometown.
It
exists
everywhere,
but
I
think
it's
you
you
bring
it
to
life.
When
you
can
show
someone
hey
here's
your
neighborhood.
E
C
I
think
in
the
past
year
and
for
you
know
in
the
past
year
or
so
on,
the
human
rights
commission
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
in
our
meetings
talking
a
little
bit
about
what
we
do
and
our
work
plan
and
the
aspects
of
our
work
plan
that
are
maybe
on
the
more
of
the
side
of
symbolic
or
performative,
to
the
side
of
our
work
plan.
That
is
really
systems
changing
and
policy.
C
You
know
informing,
I
guess,
and
so
I
really
you
know
what
I
took
away
from
this
is
I
I
see
this
as
something
that
we
can
get
involved
in,
that
has
that
may
have
aspects
of
to
some
extent.
You
know
the
symbolic
piece,
but
also
can
very
much
be
moved
into
into
that
real
change.
I
don't
necessarily
know
what
that
exactly
looks
like
at
this
point,
but
I
do
see
this
as
an
opportunity.
M
I
think
when
we
talk
about
some
of
that
kind
of
coded
language
and
the
bloomington
nativism
that
happens,
you
know
it's
like
every
time
I
go
someplace
and
I
find
myself
doing
it
too,
like
I've
lived
here
since
x.
My
family
has
been
here
since
x
and
how
much
of
that
really
is,
you
know,
based
in
the
opportunities
that
many
white
folks
have
had,
that
was
denied
to
others.
M
Moving
forward
that
you
know
in
in
40,
you
know
less
than
40,
but
you
know
in
in
generations
from
now
that,
like
that,
that,
like
my
family
is
from
here
and
we've
had
these
opportunities-
and
you
know
we're
rooted
in
this
community-
can
be
something
that
hasn't
been
necessarily
rooted
in
just
whiteness
anymore.
It
would
be
nice
if
you
know
we
could
really
take.
M
J
E
E
E
The
youth
being
able
to
see
and
be
exposed
to
something
different
can
definitely
help
bring
about
change,
but
in
order
for
that
change
to
to
take
place,
that
is
something
that
we,
as
the
adults,
have
to
step
up
and
acknowledge
that,
whether
it's
acknowledging
that
certain
practices
took
place
and
we
have
to
find
ways
to
bring
about
change,
but
recognizing
that
in
the
long
term
that
will
benefit
these
young
people,
who
will
help
continue,
make
bloomington
make
it
a
better
place
than
it
has
been
and
improve
it.
Even
more.
L
And
so
when
you
encounter
barriers
that
you
know,
pain
systems
that
do
not
allow
you
to
reconnect
with
yourself
or
with
your
past
or
with
your
roots,
your
family,
whoever
they
wear.
Then
it
is
a
lot
more
difficult
to
really
get
that
sense
of
belonging
into
the
community
where
you
live.
And
so
I
think
it
is
important
for
for
people
to
to
know
and
to
recognize
that
we
all
have
a
pardon
making
that
happen.
L
L
J
D
B
Absolutely
that
is
we
can
we
can
move
that
forward
for
the
planning
commission
so
planning.
Commission
members,
as
you
see,
we've
had
a
good
presentation
in
front
of
us
tonight
and
now
you
see
a
recommendation
to
adopt
a
resolution,
and
so
is
there
any
discussion
on
that
or
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
move
that,
if
so
deemed
by
commissioners.
Commissioner,
roman.
H
H
I
would
personally
also
consider
a
fourth
bullet
that
recommends
the
city
council
direct
staff
to
actively
outreach
to
properties
that
we
know
are
identified
with
these
covenants
and
include
information
on
the
process
and
and
the
fact
that
it
is,
there
is
a
non-profit
who
can
help
you
with
this
and
that
there
is
no
cost
and
it's
just
time.
So
I
would
also,
if
I
were
to
make
a
motion,
I
would
include
a
bullet
with
an
affirmative
or
an
action
piece
to
reach
those
properties.
If
my
colleagues
were
supportive
of
such
an
addition,.
B
Well,
thank
you,
commissioner
roman,
and
I
think
you
bring
up
a
good
point
and
I
wasn't
quite
sure,
as
we
were
discussing
this,
what
is
that
process
potentially
as
it
moves
forward
or
is
city
staff?
Envision
feels
like
we've,
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
the
just
deeds
portion,
but
where,
where
does
the
city
leave,
and
I
didn't
or
lead
in
that
position?
So
I
don't
know
if
staff
have
thoughts
on.
B
I
I
I
know
the
human
rights
commission
already
has
a
subcommittee
in
place
and
we'd
like
some
volunteer
planning
commissioners
to
join
that,
but
they
would
really
kind
of
drive
the
process
starting
off
with
the
kind
of
just
deeds
issue
the
issue
of
covenants
and
discharging
them,
but
then
going
beyond
that
and
educating
on
on
other
issues
and
looking
for
ways
to
change
city
codes
and
do
other
things
that
would
advance
advance.
This
issue.
B
All
right,
thank
you,
mr
marquardt.
So
what
I
understand
just
a
bit
from
that
is
this
subcommittee,
then,
would
really
be
driving
the
direction
for,
as
commissioner
roman
talked
about
directing
policy,
at
least
on
this
particular
topic,
but
would
then
also
lead
to
some
larger
discussions
related
to
equity.
I
H
You,
mr
chair,
mr
michael
gardner,
so
again
looking
at
the
work
of
of
the
subcommittee
and
how
the
subcommittee
can
focus
its
efforts
on
what
is
next.
Would
you
would
you
then
think
that
a
piece
about
an
affirmative
outreach
to
property
owners
would
be
more
appropriate
in
the
first
section
or
more
appropriate
in
the
second
section.
B
H
B
B
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
moved
to
recommend
that
the
city
council
adopt
a
resolution
condemning
the
use
of
discriminatory,
discriminatory
covenants,
beginning
the
process
to
discharge
discriminatory
discriminatory
covenants
on
city
port
authority
and
housing,
and
redevelopment
authority
owned
property
affirmatively
reaching
out
to
property
owners
identified
in
the
mapping
prejudice
program
to
inform
them
of
the
process
and
opportunity
available
to
them
to
discharge
these
covenants
on
their
properties
and
approving
participation
in
the
just
deeds
coalition.
B
L
B
All
right,
commission
members,
we
have
a
motion
and
a
second
in
front
of
us
to
move,
to
recommend
the
city
council,
adopt
a
resolution
condemning
the
use
of
discriminate,
discriminatory
covenants,
beginning
the
process
to
discharge
discriminatory
covenants
on
city,
port
authority,
housing
and
redevelopment
authority,
owned
property
and
proactively
reaching
out
to
residents
in
that
process.
I
hope
I
get
this
summarize
good
enough,
commissioner,
roman
approving
participation
and
approving
participation
in
the
just
deeds
coalition.
G
D
B
B
I
will
ask
now,
if
there
is
any
interest
right
now
from
planning
commission
members,
if
they
would
like
to
serve
on
that-
and
I
can
give
you
some
time
to
think
about
that
we
can.
We
can
come
back
to
that
at
a
later
point,
if
necessary,
but
I'll
give
an
opportunity.
Anybody
want
to
raise
their
hand
immediately
without
knowing
all
the
details.
B
B
C
M
C
C
Hi,
I
believe
that
is
everyone
here
and
I
and
commissioner
barbour
did
respond
in
favor
as
well.
She
had
to
leave-
and
I
also
am
in
favor,
so
I
so.
I
would
move
to
recommend
that
the
city
council
adopt
a
resolution
condemning
the
use
of
discriminatory
covenants,
beginning
the
process
to
discharge
discriminated
covenants
on
city
port
authority
and
housing
and
redevelopment
authority
owned
by
property
and
to
recommend
the
city
council,
inform
residents
of
housing
covenants
and
approve
the
participation
in
the
just
deeds.
C
C
B
C
B
I
I
G
All
right
good
evening,
everybody
so
for
this
update
tonight
of
the
the
mndot
I-494
airport
to
highway.
169
update
to
the
planning
commission
mndot
has
shared
many
of
the
slides
that
they've
created
for
their
recent
public
engagement
meetings,
and
so
I'm
working
from
many
of
those
so
much
appreciation
to
mndot.
For
for
allowing
me
to
use
those.
G
So
this
project
had
a
milestone
decision
earlier
this
year,
when
the
first
project
was
determined
when
they
determined
the
first
project
that
would
be
constructed
this
year
or
sorry
that
they
determined
the
first
project
that
will
begin
construction
in
2023,
and
so
you
can
see
on
this
timeline
that
we're
already
three
years
into
the
study
to
to
be
concluding
the
the
vision
study
for
this
project
or
for
this
corridor
and
developing
that
project.
It's
it's
been
a
lot
of
work,
that's
gone
into
it
and
we're
pretty
excited
about
the
progress
that's
being
made
now.
G
Right
so,
as
I
mentioned,
the
vision
for
the
corridor
has
been
pro
approved.
The
proposed
vision
will
improve
the
capacity
of
the
interstate
and
improve
the
reliability
of
the
average
rush
hour
trip.
The
goals
for
the
project
are
to
reduce
delays
and
improve
highway
safety,
and
the
project
is
divided
into
three
essentially
three
main
areas,
so
the
first
area
is
mainline,
I-494
and
so
for
the
vision
of
494.
G
G
G
And
then
we
went
through
a
full
evaluation
to
develop
an
implementation
plan
and
just
kind
of
connecting
back
into
the
the
discussion
that
you
had.
Prior
to
this.
It
was
a
very
equity
analysis
that
was
included
along
with
traffic
operations
and
figuring
out.
You
know
it
wasn't
just
viewed
from
a
traffic
perspective,
but
had
had
many
different
perspectives
as
well
on
determining
the
phasing
of
the
project
and
what
would
be
included
in
the
first
construction.
G
G
Okay,
so
what
I'm
gonna
do
is
kind
of
present
three
different
areas
and
my
focus
is
going
to
be
on
showing
what
the
regional
system
improvements
are.
So
the
improvements
on
494
and
or
35w,
but
also
to
just
make
sure
that
the
the
viewers
are
aware
of
what
the
impacts
of
those
changes
will
likely
be
on
the
local
system
and
then
what
is
being
planned
or
discussed
as
far
as
mitigation
for
for
those
changes.
G
G
North
south
is
35,
w
east
west
is
494.
and
first
we're
going
to
talk
about
the
northbound
to
westbound
ramp,
which
is
going
to
be
the
flyover
ramp
or
the
turbine
ramp.
So
if
you're
headed
northbound
on
35
w
this,
there
will
be
a
braid
bridge
and
you'll
start
to
that
ramp.
You
will
be
separated
from
35w
we
down
at
about
82nd
street
and
then
that
then
merges
in
to
494
westbound.
G
Something
important
to
note
there
is
that
that
flyover
ramp
enters
494,
westbound
west
of
penn
avenue.
So
if
you
were
going
northbound
on
35w
to
westbound
on
494,
one
of
the
big
changes
is
that
you
would
not
be
able
to
then
exit
onto
penn
avenue
and
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
later
about
how
those
maneuvers
and
system
system
changes
will
be
accommodated,
all
right.
G
At
this
location,
the
system
change
is
that
if
you
are
on
82nd
street
and
want
to
go
northbound,
you
can
go
northbound
on
to
35w,
but
you
would
not
be
able
to
then
exit
to
go
westbound
on
494.
So
again,
you
would
rely
more
on
the
arterial
system
to
make
that
maneuver
southbound
to
westbound,
not
a
lot
of
changes
with
that
maneuver,
although
you
no
longer
no
longer,
would
be
able
again
to
exit
at
penn
avenue.
So
you
would
have
to
make
that
move.
G
And
then
the
eastbound
to
southbound
that
does
get
reconstructed
and
I
believe
you
would
not
be
able
to
okay,
first
of
all,
the
the
ramp
to
make
that
maneuver
begins
in
advance
of
where
the
traffic
would
be
entering
from
penn.
So
you
cannot
go
from
penn
avenue
onto
eastbound
494
and
be
able
to
then
get
off
and
make
the
southbound
35w
move.
G
And
then
the
eastbound
to
northbound
looks
as
though
there
are
no
changes
at
that
location
all
right.
So
here's
the
the
box
system
that
I
kind
of
alluded
to
so
with
those
system
to
system
changes
and
modifications
that
happen
with
the
new
safer,
more
efficient
flyover,
it
will
rely
on
what's
been
referred
to
as
the
box,
and
so
that
will
put
a
little
bit
more
pressure
on
penn
avenue,
82nd
street
lynndale
avenue
and
then
77th
and
76th
streets.
G
G
G
So
one
of
the
benefits
that
we
see
is
that,
as
we
improve
the
operations
on
494
and
35w,
it
does
have
some
reduction
in
the
the
amount
of
cut
through
traffic
that
is
jumping
off
of
the
regional
system
and
taking
the
local
and
arterial
network.
Currently
so
we'll
see
a
little
bit
of
exchange
of
traffic.
So
if
we
redo
some
of
the
traffic,
that's
going
across
the
city
on
american
boulevard,
yeah
we'll
see
a
little
bit
of
an
increase
of
of
traffic
from
within
the
local
system.
G
This
is
just
an
example
of
the
mitigation
that
that's
being
suggested
and,
and
you
know
we'll
we'll-
have
a
lot
of
comments
and
this
isn't
the
final
design
on
it,
but
at
82nd
street
and
penn.
We
know
that
there
is
going
to
be
a
significant
increase
in
the
southbound
pen
to
eastbound
82nd
street
traffic,
and
so
what
is
currently
a
single
left
turn
lane
will
warrant
a
double
left
turn
lane,
so
we're
looking
at
striping
and
signal
modifications
that
we
need
to
be
made
to
accommodate
that
and
then
any
additional
treatment.
G
For
many
reasons,
it
helps
you
know,
keep
the
project
cost
in
line,
but
it
also
reduces
the
impacts
to
local
property
owners,
and
so
this
is
an
example
of
a
location
where
it's
looking
as
though
we're
going
to
be
able
to
make
these
modifications
and
and
not
impact
or
add
any
additional
right-of-way
needs
again
still
very
preliminary.
But
from
the
layout
perspective
that
we're
working
on
right
now
making
a
lot
of
these
types
of
high
level
decisions
that
will
then
get
fine-tuned
into
detailed
project
layouts
over
the
next
two
years.
G
So
it's
basically
essentially
the
frontage
road
system
in
the
southeast
corner,
quadrant
of
494
and
35w,
is
impacted
and
will
essentially
go
away
when
the
flyover
ramp
is
constructed.
You
can
kind
of
tell
from
the
line
work
that
it
shows
a
lot
of
that
flyover
ramp,
going
right
over
the
top
of
the
footprint
of
where
the
frontage
road
is
currently,
and
so
with
that
change.
G
A
lot
of
the
development
north
of
american
boulevard
has
been
oriented
by
our
planning
staff
and
probably
even
things
with
that.
The
planning
commission
have
seen
you
know
in
the
last
couple
years
that
it's
been
known,
that
the
long-term
plan
is
for
that
frontage
road
to
go
away,
and
so
any
redevelopment
new
development
has
been
oriented
towards
american
boulevard
and
with
a
lot
of
focus
on
making
sure
that
there's
good
access
and
circulation
to
these
sites.
G
Even
when
that
furnished
road
goes
away
in
the
future.
One
parcel
that
we
are
working
working
through
some
options
right
now
is
there
is
a
commercial
parcel
at
8
000,
one
east
yeah
on
the
frontage
road
and
there
hasn't
been
any
redevelopment
at
that
location,
and
so
it
is
so
kind
of
up
in
the
this.
I'm
not
sure
if
you'll
be
able
to
see
my
cursor
or
not,
but
it
is
up
in
the
dotted
line
area.
G
With
these
with
these
changes,
since
we
don't
have
a
final
plan
on
this
yet
and
we've
already
made,
that's
already
done
a
lot
of
the
public
engagement
when
we
do
reach
what
we
think
is
going
to
be
the
best
solution
in
this
area.
Some
additional
outreach
will
happen
within
with
the
affected
neighborhood
just
to
let
them
know
kind
of
what
the
layout
is
looking
like
to
keep
communication
going
with
that
area
as
well.
G
G
G
It's
it's
a
location
actually
that
the
city
of
bloomington
has
been
pushing
pretty
hard
to
to
get
some
improvements
in
this
area,
because
minnesota
avenue
and
france
avenue
is
one
of
our
highest
crash
location
intersections
in
the
city
of
bloomington.
Although
it's
on
the
border-
and
it
is,
you
know,
many
different
agencies
involved
with
hennepin
county
dyna
mndot
everybody
having
a
little
bit
of
access
in
this
area
is
still
one
of
the
locations
that
we've
been
monitoring
for
a
long
time
and
working
to
get
some
improvement.
G
The
lanes
will
get
narrowed
up
just
a
little
bit
right
now,
it's
a
very
wide
two
lane
it'll
be
narrowed
up
a
little
bit
and
there
are
going
to
be
some
locations
where
there
we
there
will
be
a
loss
of
the
green
space,
the
boulevard
separation
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
roadway
again.
This
is
all
changes
in
an
effort
to
minimize
any
right-of-way
impacts
and
existing
development
in
this
area.
G
Turning
into
the
all
the
parcels
on
the
south
side,
this
cross
section
would
also
have
space
for
bike
lanes
and
or
or
bike
shoulder.
The
only
reason
we
potentially
wouldn't
mark
the
bike
lanes
right
away
is
the
reconstruction
doesn't
have
to
go.
It
doesn't
go
all
the
way
to
france
avenue,
and
so
we
would
want
to
have
some
way
to
make
sure
that
it's
a
good
connected
section
before
we
just
drop
in
an
actual
bike
lane.
G
Also,
any
sidewalk
that
is
reconstructed
along
american
boulevard
would
be
at
that
eight
foot,
pedestrian
way
with,
which
is
what
we
have
identified
in
our
alternative
transportation
plan
for
american
boulevard
and
then
one
other
improvement
that
we're
looking
at
making.
Since
this
section
of
again
would
need
to
be
reconstructed.
G
A
bit
of
an
odd
alignment
of
american
boulevard
is
that
currently
american
boulevard?
You
have
to
make
a
left
turn,
so
it
is
the
it's
a
t
intersection.
So
american
boulevard,
if
you
go
straight
through
it,
turns
into
normandale
service
drive,
you
have
to
make
a
left
turn
to
go
to
continue
south
on
american
boulevard
and
to
be
able
to
free
up
some
space
for
the
ramp
work
and
also
to
improve
operations
in
this
area.
G
This
graphic
is
just
used
to
show
like
where
the
access
changes
are
and
how
that
impacts
494.
It's
essentially
showing,
on
the
top
graphic,
all
the
multiple
little
access
points
that
end
up
happening
with
the
the
couplet
system.
That's
in
place
right
now,
with
12th
avenue
and
portland
functioning
as
a
couplet
and
then
nicklet,
which
is
a
modified
or
a
reduced
diameter
for
the
that
the
I'm
blanking
on
the
type
of
interchange,
that's
the
output.

What
we
think
is
going
to
happen
and
what
the
modeling
really
shows
is
that
these
are
going
to
be
much
more
friendly,
neighborhood
connections,
because
the
traffic
volumes
will
significantly
decrease
on
nicolette
and
12th
avenue
and
it'll
be
a
lot
more
similar
in
feel
to
the
xerxes
avenue
crossing,
which
is
down
between
france
and
penn,
and
that
crossing
doesn't
have
any
access
to
494
as
well.
And
it's
just
a
great
connection
between
richfield
and
bloomington,
and
so
we
think
that
these
will
be
a
better
neighborhood
and
local
traffic
connection
as
well.
G
We
are
also
looking
at
doing
on-road
bike
lanes
on
nikola
avenue,
as
well
as
a
nice
wide
sidewalk
on
the
west
side
and
a
sidewalk
also
on
the
east
side.
That
is
wide
enough
to
accommodate
a
future
trail.
One
thing
that
we
heard
from
three
reverse
park
district
is
that,
while
they,
you
know,
don't
have
an
exact
plan
at
this
time.
G
G
You
know
we're
tempted,
you'd
be
tempted
to
just
say,
let's
just
hope,
the
bikes
and
pads
use,
12th
avenue
and
nicolette
avenue,
because
it's
going
to
be
a
more
comfortable
area,
but
that
is
not
the
does
not
serve
the
needs
in
this
area.
Currently
we
have
at
least
double
as
many
people
using
portland
avenue
facilities
as
bikes
and
pads
as
we
do
the
nicolet
avenue
facility.
So
we're
talking
you
know
two
to
three
hundred
on
a
on
a
day
is
what
we
had
counted
just
for
this
crossing
location.
G
The
two
options
that
were
that
were
moved
forward
and
presented
at
the
public
engagement
meetings
were
either
to
provide
a
multi-use
trail
on
each
side
of
the
roadway
or
to
propose
a
sidewalk
and
a
separate
and
a
cycle
track
on
both
sides
of
the
roadway
and
the
the
preference
was
indicated
that
or
it
was
indicated
there
was
a
preference
by
the
people
that
were
attending
to
pursue
this
cycle
track
option,
and
so
that's
what
we're
gonna
try
to
move
forward
now.
There
are
a
lot
of
design
things
to
keep
in
mind.
G
G
You'll
see
that
we're
not
proposing
any
at
roadway
level
bike
facilities
at
this
location.
Really,
the
thought
is
that
if
you
are
comfortable
enough
to
to
be
cycling
in
with
the
traffic
volumes,
you
know
in
the
20,
23
000
vehicles
per
day
range
you're
likely
to
just
take
a
lane
and
not
need
a
bike.
A
separated
bike
lane
and
that
for
all
of
the
rest
of
the
users
having
a
separated
at
a
different
level
bike
facility
is,
is
what
we're.
G
When
that
was
presented
to
the
public.
We
just
had
a
few
different
examples
of
the
difference
between
the
trails
and
the
cycle.
Tracks
cycle
track
is
not
a
tool
that
we've
used
in
bloomington
in
the
past,
and
so
I
think,
having
a
graphic
is
useful,
but
it's
essentially
provides
directional
off-road
bike
facility,
which
is
a
little
different
than
having
them
just
shared
with
a
mixed-use
trail,
and
we
think
it
will.
G
One
other
thing
that's
pretty
exciting,
that's
being
proposed
in
this
area
is
you
know,
with
the
acknowledgement
that
there
there's
just
a
lot
of
pedestrian
activity
between
richfield
and
bloomington,
and
a
real,
strong
focus
on
improving
the
connection
between
the
two
there's,
a
proposal
for
a
new
pedestrian
bridge.
It
kind
of
lines
up
with
chicago
avenue,
and
so
one
thing
that
that
I
think
that
this
will
do.
G
But
this
new
proposed
pedestrian
bridge
the
ramps,
so
the
touchstone
ramps
essentially
line
up
at
chicago
avenue,
but
then
to
get
the
grades
to
work
all
right.
It's
is
the
bridge
crosses
494,
just
a
bit
west
of
chicago
avenue,
and
so
there
are
one
of
the
other
impacts
in
this
area
is
when
the
ramps,
the
full
access
happens
at
portland
avenue.
G
We
lose
the
connection
of
the
frontage
road
in
this
area,
and
and
yet
we
know
that,
there's
a
lot
of
pedestrian
activity
along
there,
so
we're
showing
some
additional
trail
or
sidewalk
connection
on
both
sides
of
the
freeway
through
this
section
as
well
just
want
to
quickly
go
through
some
more
of
the
frontage
wood
impacts.
This
is
on
the
north
side,.
G
Again,
some
changes
to
connectivity
of
the
frontage
roads
on
both
the
north
and
south
side.
So
this
is
on
the
ridgefield
side,
but
you
most
notable
is
that
the
frontage
road
will
not
connect
to
portland
avenue,
and
so
there
will
be
some
it's
a
function
more
as
just
local
access
to
the
businesses
and
the
residents
in
in
the
area
and
their
access
point
will
be
at
fifth
avenue,
which
is,
coincidentally,
the
same
on
the
south
side.
G
But,
as
I
mentioned
on
the
south
side,
that
the
connection
and
the
frontage
ro,
the
frontage
road
on
the
south
side
between
portland
and
12th
does
go
away
with
this
project
as
well
and
again,
fortunately,
for
all
of
the
hard
work.
That's
happened
over
the
last
20
plus
years
with
any
redevelopment
in
this
area.
G
In
anticipation
of
that.
So
I
know
I
went
through
a
lot
of
materials
with
this,
so
I'm
kind
of
do
a
brief
overview
of
what's
next
or
kind
of
what's
in
the
works
and
and
then
I
will
be
open
for
questions,
but
mndot
is
working
hard
on
refining
the
layouts
for
project.
One
public
engagement
really
took
took
place
during
april,
so
at
the
very
end
of
march
and
all
the
way
up
until
essentially
last
week
there
were
public
engagement
meetings
and
the
way
they
were
handled
is
they
were
virtual
meetings.
G
So
I'm
gonna,
let
it
sit
here
on
all
the
different
ways
to
get
additional
information
about
this
project.
So
mndot
has
their
project
website.
There's
also
an
online
open
house
website
for
this.
That
has
been
well
utilized
over
the
past
three
plus
years
as
this
through
the
study,
and
so
it
it
kind
of
builds,
and
it
provides
a
summary
of
all
of
the
stuff
that
I
just
covered
as
well.
G
As
you
know,
information
about
upcoming,
open
house
of
virtual
open
houses,
how
to
sign
up
and
then
a
very
easy
section
on
how
to
submit
your
comments
and
then.
Lastly,
anybody
who
has
questions
about
impacts
of
this
project
to
bloomington
can
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me
directly
and
I
would
be
happy
to
connect
and
talk.
And
if
I
don't
have
the
answers,
I
certainly
will
will
work
to
get
them
and,
and
then
we
also
are
have
this
information,
and
all
of
these
links
are
available
on
our
let's
talk,
bloomington
page.
B
G
H
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
ms
morrow,
thank
you
for
this
presentation.
I
think
as
you're
you're
right.
This
has
been
a
long
time
a
long
time
coming
and
I
think
it'll
be
a
long
time
till
it's
done
given
the
way
our
funding
trickles
in
for
these
kind
of
critical
projects.
My
questions
have
a
couple
of
them,
but
they're
kind
of
similarly
clustered
so
around
the
concept
and
the
challenge
in
this
area,
obviously,
is
that
the
primary
priority
in
this
area
is
freeway,
which
is
high
high
volume,
fast
movement.
H
But
then
we
have
nodes
where
we've
placed
priority,
unwalkable
kind
of
especially
at
penn
american,
which
is
kind
of
intended
to
be
more
urban,
more
approachable
and
now
feels
to
me
like
we're,
going
to
be
pushing
more
traffic
through
there,
which
is
traffic,
that's
primarily
interested
in
getting
to
a
freeway,
and
so
my
question
is-
and
I
know
there
were
some
numbers
in
our
in
our
docket.
But
what
do
we
anticipate
the
increase
in
traffic
to
b
on
pad
and
82nd
in
that
area?
H
When
we
change
how
people
and
again
I
support-
and
I
understand
why
we're
changing
some
of
those
accesses
or
the
state-
that's
probably
going
to
change
those
accesses-
it's
a
it-
makes
absolute
sense
from
a
safety
perspective
on
the
freeway.
What
I'm
wondering
is
about
what
our
impact
is:
volume
wise
on
the
road
network,
the
local
network.
G
H
Second
and
then
80
seconds
to
35
the
whole
area,
especially
I
mean
that
80
second,
that
80
second
stretch
from
pen
to
the
freeway
is
you
know
I
don't
mean
to
to
negate
the
the
area
for
people
who
live
there,
but
that
is
a
little
bit
of
a
barren
kind
of
a
it's.
It's
a
speed
area
and
now
as
it
is,
and
now
we're
going
to
potentially
put
more
traffic
through
there
and-
and
this
is
actually
at
penn
america,
where
we're
talking
about
walkability
and
we've.
G
It's
an
excellent
question,
commissioner
roman,
you
know,
and
it's
something
that
that
this
is
this
has
been
a
plan
change,
and
so
you
know
the
the
approach
has
been.
How
do
we
minimize
the
impacts
as
much
as
possible
and
still
maintain
a
lot
of
our
district
goals
for
this
area,
because
this
is
a
very
important
district
to
the
city,
and
you
know
keep
that
in
mind
as
we
go
through
everything.
G
So
this
this
graphic
is
intended
to
demonstrate
what
the
traffic
volume
changes
are
modeled
to
be-
and
I
believe
so.
This
is
both
the
projection
of
the
the
traffic
volume
growth,
so
just
the
baseline
growth
that
happens
between
now
and
2040,
but
also
factors
in
the
changes
based
on
that
the
access
changes
and
all
of
the
changes
with
this
project.
G
G
G
G
H
Don't
have
a
there's,
not
a
magic
answer
to
this
question,
but
I
know
that
especially
I
know
we've
had
conversations
in
this
body
and
elsewhere
about
again.
You
know
we
have
challenges
with
that
intersection
as
it
is,
you
know,
and
there
are
certain
things
that
I'm
sure
the
city
would
need
to
do
to
improve.
H
I
know
there's
property
issues
with
how
tight
it
is
in
there,
but
then
you
talked
about
it,
france,
with
some
of
the
things
there
and
I
know
last
year
there
was
some
attempts
at
improving
the
pedestrian
experience
there,
which
is
I
I
would
hate
to
be
efficient
in
that
area.
It's
just
it's
not
very
pedestrian
friendly
and
then
I
know
you
talked
about
over
at
12th
avenue
where
the
trail
is
the
existing
regional
trail,
and
I
know
in
that.
H
In
that
visual
I
saw
a
sidewalk
on
the
one
side,
but
the
other
side
was
the
trail
was
the
solution,
and
so
I
guess
a
couple
of
my
thoughts
that
these
things
all
kind
of
thread
together
is
again.
I
know
the
freeway
is
the
primary
mode
of
transportation,
this
area,
but
once
we're
off
the
freeway,
I
think
we
have
to
be
a
lot
more
intentional
about
some
of
those
things,
whether
that
be
like
the
12th
avenue
area.
You
know
having
other
sidewalks
on
the
either
side,
because
I
think
and
you're
absolutely
right.
H
I
appreciated
the
comments
on
portland
about
the
segregation
of
the
bikes
and
the
pedestrians.
In
my
experience
and
my
work
and
elsewhere,
you
know
I
support
our
bicyclists
bicyclists
as
much
as
they
should
be
treated
like
traffic,
don't
want
to
be
treated
like
traffic
and
so
anytime.
We
can
separate
bicycles
and
pedestrians
as
much
as
bicycles
and
cars,
whether
it's
in
a
bike
lane,
but
bicycles
and
pedestrians
separating
them.
H
I
G
I
G
I
G
B
How
do
how
do
those
two
interact
now
at
a
high
speed
or
a
higher
speed?
I'm
assuming
it's
still
my
gosh
now
well
I'll
I'll
just
say
I
probably
do
the
wrong
speed
out
there,
so
just
something
there
and
then
to
commissioner
roman's
point
pen,
america,
and
what
are
the
options
for
the
city
to
think
about,
or
whoever
in
this
particular
case
the
responsibility
falls
to.
But
thinking
about
those
residents
and
certainly
understand
the
box
here
and
what
that
does
separating
the
local
traffic
out
from
the
interchange.
E
E
So
as
a
result,
the
plan
that
comes
out
of
that
project,
which
is
basically
in
draft
form
right
now,
is-
and
I
think
I
gave
you
presentation
on
this
back
at
the
end
of
march-
is
going
to
be
more
high
level
because
they
really
didn't
have
details
to
respond
to
in
anything
specific.
So
it's
going
to
be
more
high
level
it
I
think
what
amy
just
showed
you
is
well.
E
This
will
be
what
gets
talked
about
over
the
next
year
with
property
owners
and
and
some
of
the
details
and
know
what
properties
may
end
up.
Being
taken
essentially
for
for
this
this
project,
I
don't
know
that
there
will
be
any
in
bloomington,
it
will
be
more
access
impacts,
but
it
looks
like
in
richfield.
There
could
be
some
but
yeah,
so
I
guess
the
short
answer
is
the
plan
itself
isn't
going
to
address
it
specifically.
E
B
B
Otherwise
I
think
I've
heard
a
couple
things
here,
maybe
for
staff
for
consideration
one
some
details,
maybe
about
some
of
the
intersections
and
bike
head,
accommodations
and
making
sure
we're,
I
think,
holding
to
what
our
comp
plan
suggests
and
from
commissioner
cook
down.
I
think
I
heard
again
some
concerns
wondering
about
maybe
the
details
of
how
494
and
and
pen
what
that
that
system
is
going
to
look
like.
B
All
right,
thank
you
and
all
right
planning.
Commission
members,
we
do
have
a
couple
more
items
here.
First
and
foremost,
is
planning
commission
adoption
of
the
planning
commission
synopsis
from
april
15th.
The
april
15th
commissioner
abdi
was
absent.
I
would
entertain
a
motion
to
recommend
approval
of
the
meeting
synopsis
from
april
15th.
B
E
B
I
B
B
And
I
for
myself,
motion
passes
planning,
commission
synopsises
are
approved,
let's
see
so
at
this
point.
That
concludes
all
items
for
our
study
meeting
tonight.
But
if
I
could
have
planning
commission
members
hang
on
for
just
another
minute
or
two,
so
we
can
go
over
agenda
or
be
enlightened
with
what
the
agenda
items
are
coming
forward.
