Description
City of Charleston Committee on Traffic and Transportation 6/14/21
A
A
So
without
further
ado,
I'd
like
to
call
to
order
the
june
14
2021
meeting
of
the
city
of
charleston
traffic
and
transportation
committee.
Thank
everybody
for
being
here
and
asked
council
member
del
chapo
to
lead
us
in
an
invocational
moment
of
silence.
Please.
D
D
A
A
E
Yes,
sir,
and
and
appreciate
josh
being
here,
just
got
an
invitation
and
so
glad
he's
gonna
be
able
to
give
you
all
briefing
on
this.
Just
two
seconds
of
background.
In
the
aftermath
of
the
unfortunate
pedestrian
death
along
this
corridor
of
king
street,
the
city
had
communicated
with
scdot
about
the
possibility
of
doing
a
what's
called
a
road
safety
study.
Not
a
road
safety.
Audit
road
cd
audit
is
regulated
by
the
feds
all
right.
E
I
said
audit,
but
we
asked
for
a
road
safety
study
similar
to
what
was
done
on
maybank
highway
back
in
2019,
to
bring
all
different
constituencies
together
at
different
levels
of
government,
to
determine
both
short
and
learned
long-term
opportunities
in
the
corridor,
specifically
between
king
and
line
and
king
eduji.
E
If
you
remember,
there
was
a
road
safety
audit
from
king
street
and
line
all
the
way
towards
the
battery
that
presented
to
you
will
be
bringing
forth
his
recommendations
getting
implemented
in
late
2022,
and
so
I
let
josh
give
the
background
as
to
who
was
brought
together
and
some
of
the
recommendations
out
of
it
and
the
next
step.
That's
coming
up
that
we
hope
you
all.
As
electeds
can
give
us
support
and
as
well.
F
All
right,
yeah,
thanks
keith,
as
keith
mentioned,
the
road
safety
audit,
that
was
an
scdot
and
federal
funded
project
that
took
place
and
is
now
being
developed
into
an
actual
construction
project,
ended
at
line
street,
and
this
section
from
line
the
ug
specifically
around
the
carolina
street
intersection,
brought
to
our
attention
for
kind
of
a
similar
review.
F
F
This
call
were
able
to
make
it,
of
course,
as
well
city
of
charleston
representatives,
bcd
cog
and
charleston,
moose
and
scdot,
and
so
we
did
that
in
march
end
of
march
of
this
year,
and
we
spent
some
time
pulling
together
all
of
the
data
and
shortened
long-term
recommendations
for
that
segment,
and
the
end
of
may
is
when
we
were
able
to
finalize
the
report
as
as
the
cover
sheet
shows
both
the
scdot
and
city
charleston
logo.
F
We
consider
to
be
kind
of
jointly
authored,
with
inputs
from
others
like
the
cog
and
charleston
moves,
and
so
out
of
that,
what
we've
done
is
is
the
there's.
There
were
some
low
cost
and
short
term
kind
of
improvements
listed
like
crosswalks
and
ada
ramps
across
you
know
the
stock
controlled
streets
and
fixing
some
some
broken
sidewalk
areas,
adding
more
speed
limit
signs
for
the
25
mile,
an
hour
zone
through
there.
F
But
what
we
really
found
in
the
discussion
and
the
field
review
was
there
are
a
lot
of
ideas
about
what
maybe
the
area
should
look
like
and,
and
all
of
them
may
may
not
all
go
together.
So,
for
example,
if
bike
lanes
is
an
important
thing
for
the
area
within
the
existing
cross,
section,
there's
probably
also
not
enough
room
to
retain
parking.
You
know
if
there's
an
idea
of
maybe
a
traffic
signal
being
relocated
to
from
the
existing
sumner
street
to
the
carolina
street
intersection.
F
You
know
what
that
means
in
terms
of
traffic
diversion
and
everything,
so
we
didn't
want
to
in
in
our
very
kind
of
high
level
and
walk
through
to
do.
This
study
make
a
specific
recommendation
related
to
those
without
collecting
more
data
on
what
that
would
do
and
getting
eventually
getting
public
input
on
on
what
the
vision
of
the
area
should
be.
So
one
of
the
main
long-term
recommendations
that
came
out
of
the
report
was
to
have
that
type.
F
You
know
pick
up
where
our
study
left
off
and
carry
it
forward
with
that
type
of
analysis,
with
more
data
collection
and
pulling
together
some
concepts
to
show
to
the
public
to
get
feedback,
and
so
what
we
did
at
scdot
this
spring
was
list.
That
is
one
of
our
ctc
project
requests
is
that
they
would
pick
that
up
again,
where
we
left
off
and
carry
that
forward
to
try
to
identify.
F
F
E
And
just
to
round
that
out
in
terms
of
dates,
so
you
know
the
immediacy
of
this,
so
ctc's
committee
meetings
are
occurring
mid-july
to
talk
through
the
requests
that
have
been
submitted,
so
this
request
has
already
been
submitted
and
then
obviously
deliberation
and
then
determination.
So
any
and
all
support
from
those
who
care
about
safety
in
that
area
is
definitely
welcomed.
We
think
this
would
be
a
good
step
in
the
right
direction.
I
know
some
of
you
know
this,
but
just
so
it's
on
the
record.
E
We
then
coordinated
with
charleston
county
who,
on
our
behalf,
made
an
application
to
the
council
of
governments
for
complete
streets
funds
and
leveraged
what
was
200
and
something
thousand
dollar
project
into
a
1.2
million
dollar
project
that
will
have
sidewalking
on
woodland
shores
to
a
multi-use
path
to
that
inevitable
pedestrian
crossing.
So
we
want
to
kind
of
follow
that
same
line
of
success
where
we
all
come
together
and
say
here
the
long-term,
long
and
short-term
opportunities
and
then
begin
to
identify
the
funding
mechanisms
to
get
them
done.
D
Thanks,
mr
benjamin,
I
answered
most
of
the
things
that
I
was
going
to
be
asking
josh.
If
this
type
of
study
that
you
just
completed
in
march
and
then
reported
on
in
may,
was
similar
to
the
whole
maybank
public
safety
study.
So
I'm
glad
to
know
that
it
is
leading
up
to
that
kind
of
cooperative
venture.
D
F
Yeah
our
request
for
funding,
of
course,
was
to
the
county.
They
were
invited
to
participate,
but
weren't
able
to
and
obviously
being
downtown
a
little
bit
different
than
the
maybank
area,
which
had
kind
of
the
jurisdictions
vary
out
there.
So
they
were
obviously
sent
a
copy
of
the
whole
report
with
the
ctc
request,
and
I
think
I
also
sent
it
to
to
them
whenever
we
did
finalize
the
report-
and
I
sent
it
out
to
everybody
as
well.
D
B
A
You
josh
yeah
thanks
a
lot
josh
if
you're
wandering
around
downtown-
and
you
happen
to
be
at
the
corner
of
gadsden
and
halsey.
How
about
gonna
take
a
look
over
there
and
see
what
it
looks
like
it
could
use
some
help.
Please
thanks
all
right
next
on
the
agenda
without
reading.
The
whole
thing
is
the
amendment
of
chapter
19
of
the
code
of
city
of
charleston,
our
fee
schedule
for
roadblocking
and
other
permitting
ventures.
Ms
mckee,
are
you
going
to
handle
this
for
us.
G
A
G
And
I
want
to
definitely
publicly
thank
mallory
for
for
getting
us
here
to
the
finish
line
and
putting
this
in
ordinance
form
for
you
all
today
and
obviously
thanking
keith
and
his
whole
team.
There
was
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
folks
from
his
team
that
really
worked
hard
on
this,
as
well
as
bfrc
staff
that
were
involved
as
part
of
the
team
to
help
us
get
here.
So
it
was
definitely
a
team
effort.
G
So
thanks
to
thanks
to
that
whole
group
on
helping
us
get
here
and
also
janie,
who
is
not
with
us,
can't
be
here,
but
she
was.
She
was
our
legal
team
person
initially,
so
mallory
really
was
great
by
stepping
in
for
us
so
really
quickly.
I
know
you
guys
have
seen
these
before
so
just
trying
to
kind
of
get
this
fresh
in
your
minds,
but
we've
got
a
new
proposal
for
permit
fees
for
for
tnt
for
you
today.
So
how
do
we
get
here?
G
I
think
a
lot
of
you
know
that
permits
might
involve
both
public
service
and
tnt.
What
happens
in
the
street
is
controlled
by
tnt?
What
happens
on
the
sidewalk
is
controlled
by
public
service,
so
we
were
meeting
pre-coveted
to
try
to
come
up
with
ways
to
make
the
application
process
more
efficient
for
customers
so
that
they
don't
have
to
make
multiple
stops
and
in
those
meetings
we
really
identified
the
key
points
that
we
wanted
to
tackle
in
our
work.
G
So
the
number
one
thing
was:
how
do
we
do
reduce
the
number
of
applications
or
departments
visited
needed
to
gain
approval
to
do
work
in
the
right
of
way
right?
So
how
do
we
have
one
umbrella
for
all
these
right-of-way
permits
this?
What
I'm
bringing
forth
to
you
today
is
just
the
first
bite
of
this
elephant,
so
we're
not
quite
there
yet,
but
this
is
this
is
our
ultimate
goal,
and
this
is
step
one
in
getting
us
there,
because
the
because
what
I'm
here
today
with
really
kind
of
gets
to
this
number
two
piece.
G
So
how
do
we
increase
safety
and
minimize
disruption
to
both
residents
and
businesses?
So
how
do
we
increase
collaboration?
How
do
we
optimize
the
length
of
time
for
right
away
permits
and
how
do
we
proactively
inspect
all
those
permits,
as
well
so
making
sure
that
we've
got
eyes
on
the
streets
on
those
permits?
G
So
briefly,
what
do
we
do
to
kind
of
get
to
get
to
this
point
today,
so
we
started
with
process.
Mapping
looked
at
all
the
permit
types
that
are
issued
by
tnt
talked
about
the
intake
who's
involved
in
reviewing
those
and
what
really
what
it
takes
to
get
those
permits
out
the
door,
and
then
we
walk
through
what
are
the
complexities.
So
what
what
elements
appear
that
make
a
permit
more
complicated
or
more
timely
to
get
through
and
who
has
to
get
involved,
and
when
does
it
get
elevated?
G
So
we
kind
of
talk
through
all
those
things
to
identify
what
things
make
them
harder
to
just
get
out
the
door,
and
then
we
develop
some
time
tracking.
So
those
folks
in
tnt
that
are
involved
in
the
permitting
process
started
tracking
their
time
associated
with
every
permit
that
was
issued.
So
then,
with
all
those
elements
we
came
to
with
this
development,
developed
fee
schedule
so
and
I'll
get
to
that
in
just
a
second.
G
So
as
we
work
through
kind
of
those
four
elements,
we
really
we
really
felt
like
we
had
to
make
a
paradigm
shift.
Existing
permits
are
issued
by
the
type
of
work
being
conducted
and
what
we
found
in
those
identifying
complexities.
G
Like
I
said,
we
looked
at
all
these
street
blocking
permits
currently
there's
no
fee
associated
with
those,
but
they
do
submit
a
traffic
control
plan,
there's
a
dumpster
permit,
which
is
ten
dollars
a
day,
meter
bag
permits
which
are
currently
ten
dollars
a
day
and
then
construction
parking
which
is
currently
no
fee
and
moving
permits,
which
there's
currently
no
fee.
For
so
a
lot
of
things
that
have
no
fees
associated
with
them
right
and
if
we
look
at
what
happened
in
2019,
they
processed
over
2200
permits
and
brought
in
about
380
thousand
dollars.
G
So
this
is,
this
is
kind
of
the
new
structure
that
we
are
proposing
to
you
today,
there's
basically
three
primary
categories.
We
broke
them
up
into
a
full
street
closure,
a
partial
street
closure
or
obstruction,
and
then
a
parking
space,
closure
or
obstruction,
so
anything
involving
the
travel
lanes.
Those
are
then
further
delineated
by
is
it
a
major
or
a
minor
road,
and
those
delineations
currently
already
exist
in
the
city's
gis
system.
G
So
once
we
had
the
structure
in
place,
we
then
had
to
go
through
and
identify
okay.
What
are
the
fees
that
are
going
to
be
associated
with
with
each
of
these
types
of
reviews?
So
first
is
the
review
fee
so
who
needs
to
be
involved,
and
then
you
know
how
much
time
about
how
much
time
is
it
taking
them
to
do?
These
reviews,
bfrc,
like
I
said,
was
part
of
the
team.
They
derived
our
hourly
position
rates
for
those
folks
that
were
involved,
and
then
we
did
the
time
tracking.
G
So
then
we
were
able
then,
to
make
adjustments
based
on
real
world
application
of
what
was
happening,
meter
space
fees,
we
adjusted
those
just
to
capture
the
loss
of
revenue.
So
currently,
if
a
if
a
metered
space
is
is
taken
all
day,
we
would
generate.
I
think
it's
18
and
right
now
we're
only
collecting
10
per
day
in
those
spaces,
and
then
the
new
element
to
the
structure
that
we
are
proposing
are
inspection
fees.
G
So
how
do
we
get
to
that?
So
we
took
the
2019
permits
and
we
created.
We
did
a
gis
drive
time
analysis
so,
based
on
that,
we
were
able
to
determine
that
permits
issued
in
2019
were
on
average
2.16
miles
away
from
180
lockwood,
with
an
average
drive
time
of
6.62
minutes.
So
we
took
those
minutes,
multiplied
it
by
the
inspector
position
rate
added
the
mileage
reimbursement
and
that's
how
we
got
to
our
proposed
inspection
fees.
G
So
all
that
work
resulted
in
this
feed
structure
before
you
now
so
again
over
on
the
left,
you
can
see
kind
of
the
primary
categories
and
then
again,
travel
lanes
are
delineated
by
major
or
minor
streets
parking,
space
obstructions
by
metered
space
or
non-meter
spaces,
and
then
and
the
third
column.
There
is
a
one-time
review
fee
so
that
what
would
apply
simply
when
they
made
their
application,
then
what's
kind
of
new.
If
you
will
is
this
daily
inspection
fee,
so
you
can
see
they're
pretty
much
all
the
same.
G
G
G
This
is
definitely
a
lot
like
comparing
apples
to
oranges,
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
out
of
the
gate,
but
you
can
see
there,
we
had
they
generated
about
380
dollars
in
2019
and
based
on
based
on
the
information
that
we
had
to
work
with.
It
looks
like
we
could
have
generated
close
to
five
million
dollars
in
in
revenue
for
those
permits,
so
one
one
big
caveat
is
that
permits
and
tnt
are
generally
issued
for
180
days.
G
So
again
we
want
to
get
to
the
minimized
disruption
right,
so
we're
hoping
that
these
inspection
fees
really
encourage
applicants
to
apply
for
permits
for
only
the
days
that
they
absolutely
need
them
so
making
sure
that
our
streets
are
are
as
impacted
as
less
for
the
smallest
amount
of
time
possible
instead
of
a
blanket
180
days,
and
I
think
that
that
will
also
have
an
impact
we
won't
have
as
many
daily
inspections
to
perform
if,
if
this
encourages
them
to
get
permits
for
only
what
they
need-
and
obviously
we
tried
to
do.
G
G
So
what
are
the
next
steps
so
again?
Like
I
said
this
is
just
the
first
piece
of
a
bigger
elephant
right.
We
really
want
to
get
all
these
right
away
permits
under
one
umbrella,
make
it
as
simple
as
possible
for
for
applicants
our
target,
for
that
is
january,
of
2022,
we're
already
working
with
the
public
service
team
to
bring
them
bring
them
along
this
bus
ride.
G
If
you
will
with
us,
but
if
you,
if
you
all
decide
to,
if
council
decides
to
approve
these
fee
changes,
the
next
step
will
be
to
make
the
configuration
changes
in
energo.
The
upgrade
has
already
happened
in
energev,
so
we're
good
there
and
we've
already
engaged
with
it
staff
so
that
they're
aware
that
this
is
potentially
coming,
and
so
we're
already
we're
already
ahead
of
the
game
on
that
and
then
once
they're
implemented,
we'll
be
working
towards
implementing
some
performance
management
elements,
primarily
identifying
performance
targets,
as
well
as
developing
real-time
and
transparent
reporting.
G
C
Well,
what
I
there's
just
a
couple
of
things
I
do
want
to
point
out
in
terms
of
the
ordinance
that
is
included
in
y'all's
agenda.
This
is
essentially
to
help
you
all
accomplish
all
the
hard
work
that
tracy
and
keith
have
put
into
this.
The
agenda,
essentially
is
accomplishing.
I
mean
ordinance,
is
essentially
accomplishing
four
four
things:
we're
amending
article
19,
that's
essentially
to
click
clean
up
the
language
regarding
the
dumpster
permits,
that's
one
of
the
fees
that
we
are
amending,
the
current
ordinance.
C
It
mentions
ten
dollars
or
can
be
amended
time
to
time,
we're
just
striking
that
ten
dollars
to
avoid
any
confusion
in
the
future
and
we'll
be
going
off
of
the
b
schedule
that
was
proposed.
C
The
second
thing
that
this
ordinance
is
doing
is
it's
making
a
new
article
20
to
keep
all
the
right-of-way
obstruction
fees
kind
of
in
a
nice
organized
section
for
us
in
this
it'll
define
the
types
of
fees
that
we're
using
provide
all
the
definitions
for
the
right-of-way
obstructions
and
the
metered
parking
spaces,
and
then
you'll
see
at
the
very
end.
It's
adopting
the
fee
schedule
that
tracy
just
went
over
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
A
Okay,
are
there
any
structural
questions
on
what's
been
presented
to
us
before
we
open
up
for
discussion
on
the
ordinance.
A
I
have
a
second
from
council
member
brady,
any
any
questions
from
the
committee
looking
around
mayor
councilman
just
a
couple
things
really
quickly.
I
just
so.
The
committee
is
aware
and
council
we're
going
to
adopt
a
fee
schedule
as
part
of
this
ordinance,
but
that
can
be
amended
from
time
to
time
going
forward
as
I'm
correct
right.
Without
would
we
if
we
amended
the
fee
schedule,
have
to
come
back
to
this
committee
or
council
to
do
it
or
is
that
something
we
could
do
without
coming
back
for
a
full
consideration
of
council.
C
D
Have
a
question
popped
in
my
head,
so
I
haven't
studied
the
public
works
committee
agenda.
Are
they
looking
at
the
same
ordinance
today
so
will
it
be
coming
from
both
of
us
or
how
is
public
services
feeling
about
all
this.
A
To
take
your
guidance,
this
is
just
for
the
streets
which
this
committee
and
mr
benjamin
has
jurisdiction
over
and
we'll
see
how
tom
o'brien
and
his
team
does,
but
we'll
have
to
come
back
and
look
at
it.
So
one
of
the
questions
that
came
up
and
at
city
council
and
has
been
asked
since
then,
is
the
interplay
between
this
ordinance
and
the
state
law
section
6-1-330,
which
defense
essentially
defines
the
limitations
on
us
being
able
to
collect
service
or
user
fees,
and
I
went
back
and
looked
at
that
ordinance.
A
So
I
know
there
may
be
some
questions
going
forward
about
whether
or
not
we're
limited
by
this
ordinance
by
the
statute
to
doing
the
calculations
that
tracy
and
mallory
and
keith
have
so
diligently
done
by
putting
some
actual
time
and
and
expense
on
it,
just
something
to
be
thoughtful
of
what
I've
explained
to
those
council
members.
I've
asked
questions
about
this.
A
My
preference
would
be
for
this
committee
to
pass
this
on
to
city
council,
give
it
first
reading,
let
public
service
do
their
work
and
during
the
course
of
all
of
this,
if
there's
some
hint
that
we're
not
bound
by
that
state
statute,
we
can
discuss
it,
but
in
the
meantime,
we'll
at
least
be
able
to
start
collecting
these
fees
and
have
something
in
place.
That
to
me
seems
like
a
no-brainer.
So
with
that,
is
there
any
other
questions
for
any
of
our
team
that
has
so
diligently
put
this
together
and
thank
you
man.
A
I
know
this
was
hard
work.
It's
was
tracy
you
weren't
at
the
last
city
council
meeting,
but
it
was
popular
for
information.
I
think
it'll
be
even
more
popular
as
an
ordinance.
So
if
there's
no
further
question
comment
all
in
favor
hi
hi
right
and
he
opposed
the
eyes
have
it.
I
would
ask
you
mallory
tomorrow
night,
if
you're
available,
to
sit
in
just
in
case
there's
any
questions
about
this
from
a
legal
standpoint,
city
council.
That
would
be
really
great
because
it
may
come
up.
Okay,
great
all
right.
A
Hold
it
right
here
somewhere
all
right
next
on
the
agenda
is
the
pedicab
ordinance
and
contract
renewals,
I
believe
miss
halverson
has
chimed
in
and
tuned
in
here,
so
just
as
a
way
of
prelude,
the
pedicab
ordnance
or
the
pedicab
licenses
and
franchise
agreements
are
all
coming
up
for
renewal
sterling
help
me
here
soon
august
15th,
okay
august
15th,
so
I
actually
asked
miss
halverson
to
go.
Take
a
look
at
where
we
are
with
the
contracts.
A
What
rights
and
liabilities
both
the
city
have
has,
and
the
pedicab
companies
are
three
of
them,
that
contract
with
the
city.
What
rights
and
liabilities
they
have?
There
is
an
automatic
renewal
provision
in
there
if
it's,
if
it's
asked
for
by
the
pedicab
companies
and
they
have
to
pay
an
additional
fee,
so
I
thought
it
would
be
at
least
good
for
us
to
have
this
on
our
radar.
A
I
will
tell
you
that
pedicabs
in
front
of
this
committee
over
the
course
of
time
from
the
time
we
first
licensed
them
to
now,
have
been
a
little
bit
contentious.
So
I
thought
it'd
be
good
to
get
out
ahead
of
it.
So
at
least
we
understand
where
we
are
and
see
if
we
need
to
clean
up
the
ordinance
in
advance
of
putting
this
back
out
either
for
bid
or
for
renewing
the
contracts
which
I
think
each
each
company
has
by
right.
The
option
to
do
am
I
right
about
that
sterling.
H
That's
correct:
they
have
the
option.
I
wouldn't
say
that
it's
definitely
automatic.
The
city
still
has
a
lot
of
discretion
about
whether
to
renew.
So
if
we
had
good
cause
for
you
know
a
reason
not
to
renew.
That
would
be
something
to
consider,
but
you
know
that
that's
just
for
discussion
as
far
as
what
everybody
thinks
about
the
renewals.
H
One
thing
to
point
out
is
that
we
don't
have
a
limitation
on
the
number
of
renewals
that
a
company
can
have
either
in
the
ordinance
or
the
contract.
So
right
now,
it's
sort
of
an
indefinite
renewal
and
the
renewals
are
for
five
year
periods,
so
that
could
you
know
turn
out
to
be
a
long
term.
If
we
continue
to
renew
them,
you
know
three
or
four
terms:
you're
looking
at
15
or
20
years
there.
H
The
other
thing
I
wanted
to
point
out
is
that
we
currently
have
15
daytime
and
15
night
time
decals
for
these
companies
and
the
way
that
those
are
broken
down
are
one
com.
Two
companies
have
four
daytime
permits
and
six
night
time
permits
each.
The
third
company
has
seven
daytime
and
three
nighttime
decals,
and
so
we
talked
about
the
the
possibility
of
adding
on
some
extra
nighttime
decals
to
the
ordinance,
which
would
require
an
ordinance
change.
H
If
we
wanted
to
go
in
that
direction
and
then
we
would
have
to
bid
those
out
separately
just
through
our
regular
bidding
process,
that's
outlined
in
the
current
ordinance,
and
so
we
would
have
to
like.
If
we
were
going
to
say,
add
six
new
nighttime
decals.
H
We
would
then
have
to
bid
those
out,
and
each
company
would
have
the
opportunity
to
to
bid
on
those,
but
I
don't
think
there
would
be
a
guarantee
that
it
two
would
go
to
each.
It
would
just
depend
on
how
their
bids
came
back,
but
that
is
something
we
could
consider.
If
you
all,
you
know,
wanted
to
consider
adding
some
nighttime
decals
to
have
more
of
these
pedicabs
on
the
road
in
the
nighttime
hours
and
I've
forgotten
what
the
actual
nighttime
hours
are
off
the
top
of
my
head.
H
Okay,
good
think,
that's
pretty
much
it.
I
reviewed
the
contracts
I
mean
we
might
want
to
tighten
up
some
of
the
indemnification
and
insurance
language
in
the
current
contracts
if
we
renew
them,
but
you
know
other
than
that
they
pretty
much
match
and
mirror.
What's
in
the
ordinance,
the
current
the
current
ordinance.
A
I
agree
with
that
and
I
see
both
the
ordinance
and
then,
if
you
go
back
to
the
contracts,
aren't
as
clear
as
they
might
should
be,
and
I
think
if
you
hold
a
mind,
we'll
work
with
sterling
and
try
to
clean
up
those
before
the
contracts
come
back
up
for
renewal
and
make
it
clear
it's
one
more
five
year
period
and
then
that's
it
right.
I
mean
that
seems
to
me
to
be
the
fair.
A
It
seems
to
me
just
having
spent
a
good
bit
of
time,
both
day
and
night
time
on
the
street,
particularly
now
night
time
and
with
the
way
we've
reconfigured
king
street
pedicabs
actually
have
the
most
access
of
anybody
to
the
street
that
adding
a
couple
medallions
per
company
to
a
total
of
six
at
night
time
would
not
be
the
worst
thing
we
ever
did.
It
would
give
some
access.
I
don't
know
how
they'll
fight
it
out.
A
No
just
sort
of
direction
if
anybody
is
violently
opposed
to
anything,
we've
been
talking
about.
Please
let
us
know,
because
I
don't
want
sterling
to
go.
Do
a
whole
bunch
of
work.
If
it's
not
going
to
go
anywhere
seems
to
me
to
be
giving
a
little
advisory
opinion
here
would
be
a
good
thing
if
there's
any
thoughts
that
any
members
of
this
committee
have
now's
the
time
to
do
it.
D
I
mean
I
personally
and,
and
you
know,
being
educated
by
all
of
you
all
about
our
strategies,
especially
for
king
street
public
safety.
It
seems
like
the
night
increase
of
nighttime
use
would
be
very
logical.
It
goes
right,
along
with
our
climate
action
plan.
I
mean
I
don't
see
any
downside
as
long
as
we
have
the
companies
that
we
think
are
working
responsibly.
B
I
did
I
I
I
must
say
I
have
not
heard
any
reports
of
the
drivers
being
anything
but
safe.
I
was
curious
to
ask
if
what
their
safety
records
are
like
and-
and
I
would
just
maybe
have
us
consider
that
if
some
driver
some
company
got
out
of
hand
and
they
were
having
having
numerous
violations
that
their
license,
you
know
be
liable
to
be
pulled.
If
that's
not
in
there
already.
A
A
Biggest
issues
they've
been
the
victims
of
some
some
accidents,
not
the
cause
of
some
of
them
and
with
the
new
street
configuration
they're
really
efficient
up
there,
and
I
will
say
this:
the
reports
I've
gotten
back
from
the
king
street
patrols
is
that
they've
worked
really
well
with
the
pedicabs
to
sort
of
figure
out
the
flow
of
pedicabs
and
traffic
up
there,
and
it's
worked
really
well
moving
people
up
and
down
the
street,
particularly
in
the
later
hours.
So
all
things
to
look
at
when
sterling.
A
H
We
can
do
it
in
july,
however,
if
we
add
the
six
new
licenses,
those
won't
get
final
approval
until
the
august.
H
I
think
the
meeting's
on
the
15th
or
16th,
which
is
going
to
be
after
the
expiration
of
the
current
contracts,
but
if
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
renew
those,
what
we
could
do
is
just
amend
after
the
fact,
because
it's
going
to
take
some
time
to
bid
them
out
again,
so
I'm
envisioning
that
we
would
renew
the
three
existing
contracts.
H
If
that's
the
will
of
council,
you
know
before
that
august
15th
deadline
when
they
expire
and
then
when
we
have
the
six
new
licenses
that
are
approved
in
august
after
the
ordinance
change,
we'll
bid
those
out
it
might
take
a
few
weeks.
But
then
we
can
always
amend
those
contracts
to
add
in
the
extra
two
decals
or,
however
many
it
ends
up
being
per
company.
So
I
think
we
can
work
it
out
that
way,
it
won't
simultaneous,
but
it'll
be
close.
A
Okay,
sort
of
on
that
outline,
unless
there's
any
objection
it
looks
like
miss
albertson-
has
some
work
to
do
between
now
and
the
next
meeting
and
we'll
get
something
on
our
agenda.
I
guess,
are
we
even
going
to
need
to
have
it
on
our
agenda
if
they,
if
they
opt
in
under
their
contracts?
Really?
The
only
thing
that
this
committee
will
have
to
take
up
is
the
adding
of
the
of
the
decals
right,
because,
unless
there's
four
cause
not
to
renew
they
have
they
do
have
the
option
contractually
with
us
to
renew.
H
It
that's
correct,
I
think
they
just
have
to
pay
the
franchise
fee
for
the
term,
so
I
think
you're
right.
We
probably
don't
need
to
bring
it
back
for
approval.
A
Okay,
so
let's
look
to
august
to
see
if
we
have
some
stomach
for
adding
six
medallions
or
six
decals
or
whatever
we
call
them,
which
I
think
would
be
great
and
we
can
go
from
there
and
then
at
that
point,
we'll
know,
sort
of
who's
renewed
and
who
hasn't
anyway
and
we'll
know
who
we're
dealing
with.
H
A
Any
more
questions
on
the
pedicab
renewals,
licensing
and
increased
medallion
or
decals
great
okay.
Next
on
our
agenda
is
our
director's
update.
He's
got
an
update
or
two
for
us.
I
think
how
about
lead
lead
with
your
chin
here
and
give
us
the
big
news.
E
I'll
be
gonna
wait
on
that,
but
I
guess
you
wanted
me
to
let
everybody
know
what
I've
told
you
all
privately
about
my
time
in
charleston,
coming
to
an
end
in
the
month
of
july.
Let
the
mayor
know
let
staff
know
as
well
I'll
say
what
I
said
to
staff.
E
When
I
came
to
the
city
it
was
everything
was
happening
all
at
the
same
time
it
was
a
new
city,
new
job
and
a
new
baby
son
was
born
on
may
1st,
and
then
we
I
drove
down
on
may
22nd
and
started
on
june
5th,
and
so
no
no
honeymoon.
But
it's
I'm
very
grateful
that
you
all
trusted
me.
E
E
So,
just
very
very
grateful
not
going
tomorrow,
got
a
few
more
weeks
left
and
a
lot
of
work
as
as
you'll
hear
in
a
second,
but
but
definitely
wanted
to
make
sure
you
all
say
publicly
what
I've
already
told
you
all
privately
a
bunch
of
updates
for
you
all.
Please
let
me
know
if
I'm
missing
something
first
thing
is
with
the
bike
share
and
micro
mobility
rfp.
E
The
last
time
we
even
went
as
far
as
to
do
a
digital
charette
with
nakto,
the
national
association
of
city
transportation,
officials
for
the
cities
of
philadelphia,
portland
and
philadelphia.
Portland
and
memphis
sat
with
all
of
our
documents
and
went
up
and
down
about
what
we
should
be
thinking
about.
E
Contractually
and
otherwise
before
putting
out
this
rfp,
so
we
have
that
draft
and
that'll
be
out
to
the
public
on
next
week,
as
I
was
told
by
the
procurement
office
today,
but
just
a
quick
blurb
on
that,
we
we,
as
a
committee,
came
up
with
five
specific
objectives
that
we
wanted
out
of
the
rfp
process
that
I'll
share
with
you
all
that
will
give
you
an
indication
of
where
we
want
to
go
from
a
mobility
standpoint.
E
We
wanted
to
make
sure
that
charleston
was
positioned
as
a
national
leader
in
equitable
bike
share
usage
and
operations
wanted
to
expand
micro
mobility
past
just
the
peninsula.
We
have
so
much
work
happening
all
over
the
city,
making
sure
that's
happening,
utilizing
bikeshare
and
other
mobility
options.
So
looking
into
the
addition
of
class
one
e-bikes
into
the
fleet
process,
which
I
think
will,
if
you
see
the
tracks
of
how
our
existing
bike
share
program
is
used,
folk
would
go
into
other
municipalities
crossing
over
waterways
and
otherwise.
E
So
how
do
we
enhance
that
sustaining
public
private
partnerships
to
make
sure
that
this
vendor
is
involved
in
community
in
a
significant
way
and
then
being
able
to
attract
additional
partners
too?
Thankfully,
our
title
sponsor
has
agreed
to
continue
to
stay
on
with
us,
and
so
that's
an
attractive
piece
for
the
vendors
that
would
engage
in
us.
So
just
wanted
to
give
you
all
that
update
just
some
signal
projects
to
update
you
all
on
as
well.
E
We
are
planning
to
fix
the
infrastructure
at
broad
and
meaning
that
does
not
mean
the
actual
housing
of
the
signals,
but
the
actual
in
the
ground,
traffic
cabinets
functionality
of
the
signal,
signalized
intersection
itself
and
so
a
plan
to
have
a
crews
in
some
of
our
contractors.
Working
on
that
at
the
mid
to
end
of
july
be
a
30-day
process.
E
Some
of
it
will
have
to
include
usage
of
some
portable
signals,
but
more
information
on
that
soon,
for
how
we'll
be
handling
traffic
in
that
area,
lockwood
and
calhoun
flashing,
yellow
arrow
got
an
approval
from
scdot
and
will
plan
to
start
on
that
work
right
after
the
fourth
of
july
holiday.
E
Finally,
in
formosa
I
had
a
different
report,
but
just
got
an
update
from
josh,
literally
as
we
were
on
this
meeting,
they
got
the
bids
back
for
that
project
and
they
were
significantly
high,
so
they
plan
to
re-bid
that
out
and
do
some
letting
in
august
so
more
on
that
once
they
get
those
bids
and
they
do
their
own
negotiation.
As
a
reminder,
the
city
is
a
partner
in
that,
through
our
signal
maintenance
agreement,
but
it's
a
scbot
project.
E
The
project
700
pedestrian
enhancements
should
be
completed
this
week,
that's
for
four
different
locations,
three
of
them
on
cummings
street
and
one
at
religion
cleveland.
So
those
should
be
activated
this
week
and
then
just
some
pieces
about
hurricane
preparedness.
E
As
you
know,
one
of
the
main
tasks
of
our
department
is
as
quickly
as
possible,
making
sure
all
200,
plus
signalized
intersections,
are
up
and
going
on
post
those
storms,
and
so
there
was
two
enhancements
that
we've
brought
to
bear,
one
of
which
will
be
in
bids
and
purchases
for
you
all
today,
tomorrow
during
ways
and
means
we
have
partnered
with
a
company
to
obtain
portable
signals.
E
This
is
going
to
be
extremely
helpful
to
us
and
and
take
a
burden
off
of
cpd
if
and
when
we
lose
signalized
intersections
and
need
to
still
have
them
function
for
vehicular
traffic
to
be
able
to
make
their
way
through,
and
so
we
we
hope
for
your
continued
support
on
that
and
then,
as
you
may
or
may
not
know,
at
many
of
our
main
corridor,
intersections
we've
been
installing
battery
backup
systems.
So
in
the
case
where
there
might
be
a
power
outage,
those
signalized
intersections
would
still
be
able
to
function.
E
So
when
you
think
about
filing
in
camp
when
you
think
about
7
and
17
maybank
and
river
glen,
mcconnell
and
magwood
those
intersections
over
the
next
couple
of
months,
some
of
which
are
already
installed
we'll
have
battery
backup
systems.
So
if
and
when
there's
emergency
situation,
they
would
still
be
able
to
function
and
be
able
to
make
sure
that
folks
were
able
to
get
from
point
a
to
point
b.
E
E
Some
of
those
streets
are
in
our
city
and
so
I'll
I'll
read
off
those
five
or
six,
really
quick
woodland
road
tripe
street,
I'm
over
in
maryvaleville
columbus
street,
downtown
riverland
drive
gulf
view,
drive
and
south
gremble
road.
All
of
those
are
on
scdot,
paving
lists
letting
will
occur
later
on
this
year
going
into
next
year,
but
in
in
partnership
fashion.
E
District
six
gives
us
a
heads
up
about
some
of
those
streets,
so
we
can
collaborate
so,
for
example,
on
columbus
street.
That's
a
major
street
for
our
low
line
and
the
ability
to
have
mid-block
crossings,
and
so
I
already
have
communicated
with
scdot
about
including
those
design
criteria
not
just
into
their
paving
but
actually
potentially
for
them
to
construct
that
on
our
obviously
city
without
the
fund,
but
construct
on
our
behalf,
similar
to.
However
gage
street
happened
where
scdot
did
did
full
construction
and
paving
for
us
finally
come
on
over
here
brother.
E
I
want
to
introduce
you
all
to
our
new
traffic
operations
manager,
james
wallace,
we're
excited
to
have
him
he's
an
alum
from
clemson.
He
has
his
pe,
but
also
was
with
bill
engineering,
which
is
one
of
our
own
calls
and,
and
so
he's
very
familiar
with
most
of
our
staff
already
and
and
has
had
to
hit
the
ground
running
on
a
number
of
different
fronts,
both
for
management
and
trc.
So
I
just
wanted
him
to
say
hello
if
you're
involved.
I
Yeah
good
afternoon,
everyone
thanks
for
having
me
here,
as
keith,
said
james
wallace.
He
worked
for
beale
engineering
as
a
traffic
engineer
before
that
I
also
have
experience
in
the
electric
utility
and
construction
fields
so
taking
michael
mathis
position.
I
know
it's
big
shoes
to
phil.
I
knew
him
personally
he's
a
great
guy,
so
I
look
forward
to
working
with
all
you
and
moving
things
forward.
A
We're
glad
to
have
you
in
the
city,
lots
cooking,
so
I
hope
you
all
enjoy
hope
you
enjoy
your
time
here.
It's
going
to
be
an
adventure,
I'm
sure.
A
You
did
council,
member
jackson.
D
Thanks,
congratulations
to
mr
wallace
welcome
and
we've
already
had
our
little
original
goodbye
dialogue
keith.
So
I
just
want
to
continue
that
for
the
next
month
we're
proud
of
you.
We
wish
you
weren't
leaving
quite
so
soon,
but
you've
started
a
lot
of
amazingly
good
stuff,
and
I
know
that
d.o.t
headquarters
is
never
going
to
be
the
same
because
of
the
way
that
you
approached
your
work
on
behalf
of
the
city
to
make
the
state
a
collab
enterprise.
So
I
think
that
should
have
your
name
and
lights.
On
that
accomplishment.
D
I
and
I
you
can
talk
to
me
offline.
I
picked
up
two
important
roads
on
james
island
that
are
usually
pretty
neglected,
so
riverland
drive
and
south
grimball.
So
can
you
just
plan
to
call
me
about
that
or
have
robbie?
Somebody
call
me
to
understand
the
details,
so
we
can
let
people
know
I'm
I'm
wondering
you
also
mentioned
folly
and
camp
as
an
example
of
your
battery
backup
system
for
signals.
You.
G
E
So
there's
some
places
that
we've
had
where
they
were
already
existing,
then
with
the
improvements
that
scdot
did
specifically
in
west
ashley
to
the
signalized
intersections.
They
included
back
back
battery
backup
systems,
but
there
is
a
number
of
places
where
we
wanted
to
introduce.
So
a
lot
of
those
other
locations
are
along.
The
crosstown
maybank
at
folly
is
one
of
the
ones
where
we
want
to
introduce,
which
literally
every
storm
we
have
to
go
out
and
and
and
address.
E
So
I
think
that
people
will
be
glad
about
that
having
battery
back
up
and
then
glen
mcconnell
at
what
magwood,
which
is
another
intersection
that
religiously
unfortunately,
during
storms,
goes
out
so
having
those
there.
So
following
camp
has
had
it
for
some
years
now,
when
it
was
rebuilt,
that
was
one
of
the
infrastructure
enhancements
that
was
placed
there,
and
so
it
has
a
little
bit
of
a
cost
to
it.
So
being
able
to
partner
with
scdlt
is
always
great.
E
B
Not
a
question,
but
james
welcome,
aboard
look
forward
to
working
with
you.
Keith
there'll
be
more
to
come,
but
thank
you
for
your
service.
I
think
when
we
look
back,
we
will
see
your
tenure
as
a
quantum
leap
for
our
city's
mobility
efforts.
There's
just
no
question
in
my
mind
about
it.
You've
done
a
remarkable
job,
particularly
when
it
comes
to
issues
of
safety
of
equity
and
transportation,
and
you
taught
me
about
the
concept
of
multi-modality
now
I
thought
that
was
something
to
do
with
music.
You
know
back
in
at
berkeley.
B
We
learned
about
the
aeolian
scale
and
the
dorian
scale,
and
all
those
greek
musical
scale
so
multi-modality
isn't
necessarily
different
musicians
playing
in
different
keys.
So
I
got
it
it's
all
about
accommodating
different
ways
of
people
to
be
able
to
get
around
in
a
safe
and
equitable
fashion.
And
honestly,
I
thank
you
for
helping
to
elevate
our
game
here
in
in
charleston.
B
We
got
a
ways
to
go
still,
but
we
wish
you
every
success
for
you
and
your
family
and
god
bless
you
for
your
service
and
thank
you
to
robbie
somerville
who
yet
yet
again
has
agreed
to
serve
as
our
interim
director
of
of
the
department.
Thank
you
robbie
for
always
being
there
you're
terrific
too.
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
A
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you,
mr
mayor,
and
I
think
all
of
us
on
this
committee
and
council
under
the
city
echo
those
comments
of
the
mayor,
keith,
good
luck
with
everything
you
always
know
how
to
find
your
way
back
here
and
on
your
way
back.
If
you
see
anything
that
needs
improving
your
pothole
that
needs
fixing,
please
make
sure
you
take
care
of
that
way,
because
it's
gotten
a
lot
better
on
here.
So
when
are
you
actually
leaving?
E
I
think
there's
still
some
things,
I'm
gonna
wrap
up
with
that.
I
gotta
go
through
the
hr
process
and
navigate
that
as
as
me
be
so
I'll
definitely
make
sure
you
all
know
ahead
of
time.
I
supposed
to
be
with
kay
next
friday,
she's
traveling
this
week
so
supposed
to
be
there
next
friday.
A
Well,
good
luck
with
everything!
Thank
you
for
sure
all
right
members
of
the
committee.
Unless
there's
anything
else,
for
the
greater
good
of
the
city
or
for
the
traffic
and
transportation,
we
will
stand
adjourned
and
see
each
other
if
not
before,
tomorrow
afternoon.
Mr
mayor,
is
it
four
o'clock
for
ways
to
means
tomorrow.
