Description
City of Charleston Committee on Traffic and Transportation 7/28/2020
A
A
Looks
like
he
is
okay,
great
may.
Are
you
all
good
all
right
we're
good
good
afternoon?
Everybody
thank
you
for
tuning
in
I'd
like
to
call
to
order
today's
tuesday
july
28
2020
meeting
of
the
city
of
charleston
traffic
and
transportation
committee.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here
on
this
important
busy
day
and
ask
that
we
begin
with
a
moment
of
silence.
A
A
A
Any
discussion
additions
deletions
all
in
favor,
aye,
aye
aye
opposed
the
eyes.
Have
it
all
right.
Next
traffic
comic
speed,
humps
for
approval
at
southall,
avenue,
burns
downs
and
in
response
to
some
emails
I
saw
and
councilmember
pell
has
joined
us
some
of
his
inquiries.
I
think
we'll
take
up
both
the
speed,
humps
and
we'll
talk
about
speed
limits
along
there
too,
at
the
same
time,
but
the
the
matter
that
requires
approval
and
action
by
this
committee
is
the
actual
speed
calming
devices.
A
E
All
right,
thank
you.
Yes,
in
2018,
we
received
a
request
with
a
petition
signed
by
75
or
77
percent
of
the
residents
in
favor
of
traffic
calming
speed
ups
at
that
time,
in
2018,
the
request
was
denied
due
to
the
average
speed
being
at
22
miles
an
hour
and
the
posted
speed
limit
on
that
street
at
25
miles
an
hour
since
then
we
got
some
letters
from
the
residents
inquiring
about
another
study.
E
E
B
E
A
B
I
don't
have
any
discussion
specific
to
the
speed
hums.
I
do
think
that
they're
a
good
idea
at
this
point,
but
I
would
like
a
little
more
clarification
about
that.
The
speed
limit.
My
understanding
is
that
it's
20
miles
an
hour
as
you
approach
a
speed
hum,
but
then
then
the
speed
goes
up
to
its
regular
posted
mileage.
So
maybe
this
is
a
very
short
street
and
would
be
essentially
20
miles,
but
I
do
think
there
are
other
streets
that
that
that
distinction,
you
know,
continues
to
be
a
problem.
So.
A
Well,
this
street
in
particular,
which
I
have
some
familiarity
with,
because
my
mother
lived
there
for
10
years,
it's
a
pretty
short
street
and
it
needs
to
be
20
miles
an
hour.
It's
crazy
that
it's
25..
We
can
look
at
others
as
we
go
along
just
get
with
mr
benjamin,
mr
somerville.
If
you
see
some
other
streets
out
there,
this
one
needs
to
be
20..
A
You
all
may
recall
for
those
who
sat
on
this
committee-
I
don't
know.
Maybe
it
was
just
me
and
you
miss
mayor,
but
we
actually
took
this
up
a
couple
years
ago
and
every
now
and
then
you
got
to
step
up
and
say
we
made
a
bad
vote.
That
was
probably
a
bad
vote.
Mercifully
nothing
happened
bad
since
then,
but
since,
since
we
did
not
vote
this
in
the
last
time
that
new
complex
right
there
behind
as
teeter
is
open,
there's
so
much
more
traffic
through
there.
A
F
E
E
We
must
receive
a
petition
signed
by
15
15
of
the
residents
requesting
to
have
the
speed
reduction
from
there.
Once
we
get
the
petition
we'll
conduct
a
study
and
bring
that
back
before
the
traffic
and
transportation
committee
for
approval
with
a
reduction
or
possible
recommendation
for
it
to
stay
the
same,
but
once
we
get
a
petition,
we'll
conduct
the
necessary
studies
per
ordinance
and
bring
it
back
to
the
committee.
F
A
G
Just
real
briefly,
I
know
I'm
not
a
member
of
this
committee,
but
I
just
want
to
thank
you,
chairman,
seekings
and
everybody
on
the
committee.
I
don't
know
how
the
vote's
going
to
go,
but
just
the
sheer
fact
that
we're
able
to
get
this
thing
on
the
agenda
and
keith
and
robbie.
Thank
you
all
again
for
your
leadership
and
technical
expertise
on
this.
G
I
can
just
tell
you
this
is
going
to
be
an
extremely
well
received
measure
should
it
pass-
and
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
for
their
time-
energy
and
effort,
and
then
once
we
get
past
this
stage,
you
know,
and
we
have
some
more
time
that
might
be
appropriate
at
some
point
to
give
a
more.
You
know,
neighborhood-wide
kind
of
analysis
of
the
speed
and
traffic
circulation
and
burns
down.
So
I
think
that
would
be
a
great
idea.
So
with
that
I
just
want
to
thank
everybody
involved.
G
A
A
Great
okay
on
to
the
next
then
next
is
next:
is
the
to
amend
the
code
of
city
of
charleston
south
carolina
chapter
19,
section
400,
to
stipulate
the
method
for
how
to
determine
a
maximum
charge
for
a
non-consensual
toe
lots
of
words
for
something
that
I
think
got
complicated
through
our
procurement
process,
so
who's
gonna
handle
this
janie.
Are
you
out
there?
Are
you
gonna
sort
of
give
us
the
lead
on
what
this
is
all
about?.
A
So
quickly,
by
way
of
background,
I
think
janie.
This
came
up
because
of
the
way
that
we
went
out
and
set
the
zone
procurements
right
and
the
limits
on
the
city
toes,
and
there
was
a
cap
that
was
equivalent.
So
this
is
just
making
amendments
so
that
we
don't
put
a
stop
to
any
ability
for
people
to
get
toes
out
of
private
lots
is
my.
A
D
B
A
H
So
a
question,
so
this
is
really
just
impacting
west
ashley
right
now
and
basically
raising
the
non-consensual
tow
fee.
What
was
it
before
our
recent
new
procurement
contract
or
whatever
throwing
contract
so
was
it
higher?
Now
it's
going
way
down
because
of
the
lower
price
and
we're
putting
it
back
up.
We
got
any
history
of
the
numbers
there.
D
H
D
H
H
A
A
No,
this
was
requested
by
the
private
towing
companies
that
aren't
doing
the
consensual
that
the
city
tells
their
people
out
there
out
doing
non-consensual
toes
it
was
requested.
I
understand,
by
both
the
towing
companies
and
some
private
lot
owners,
because
they
can't
get
anybody
to
tow
non-consensually
because
for
30
bucks,
no
one
will
do
it.
A
So
for
purposes
of
today,
mr
mayor,
I
think
the
objective
was
to
get
it
to
a
rate,
at
least
that
people
can,
if
there
is
a
need,
a
legitimate
need
for
a
non-consensual
tow
that
someone
can
actually
come
do
it.
I
mean
I
guess
we
can
jamie,
take
a
look
across
the
board
at
all
the
different
rates
and
see
where
we
are
that's.
What
the
committee's
pleasure
is
I'm
happy
to
put
that
on
an
agenda.
Mr
mayor
talk
about
it.
D
H
H
H
A
B
A
A
Anyway,
may
I
make
a
suggestion,
mr
mayor:
let's
can
we
can
we
vote
on
this
just
to
set
this
rate
and
then
have
this
brought
back
to
see
if
we
can't
just
set
a
uniform
rate
across
the
way
and
go
take
a
look
at
it?
So
we
know
we're
all
we're
comparing
apples
to
apples
on
all
things
john's
island,
daniel
island
everywhere.
So
we
know
exactly
what
the
rates
are
everywhere.
H
C
A
Well,
we
never
thought
that
anyone
would
go
bid,
20
bucks,
a
towel
right.
I
think
that
when
we
went
through
this
last
time
and
janie
correct
me,
if
I'm
wrong
was
was
it
five
years
ago
it
was
a
whole
different
environment
and
the
atmosphere
and
the
bids
were
a
lot
higher,
and
I
think
these
this
team-
they
just
bid
themselves
down
into
really
really
really
low
numbers
and
the
effect
was
not
just
on
them,
but
it
was
it
affected
other
people's
businesses
too.
D
H
H
A
J
Jason
I'll
just
I'll
kick
it
off
and
sterling's
on
the
line
edmonds
on
the
line
as
well.
At
the
last
meeting,
we
gave
you
an
update
on
the
current
scope
of
work
that
is
being
conducted
by
hdr,
and
we
had
reported
out
that
we
would
be
receiving
those
deliverables.
Prior
to
this
meeting,
we
did
receive
both
the
preliminary
jurisdictional
determination
request
and
the
critical
area
line,
certification
that
have
both
been
delivered
to,
respectively,
the
us
army
corps
of
engineers
and
the
office
of
scdhec
and
the
ocrm
that
those
two
products
included.
J
Mapping
of
the
national
wetlands
inventory
the
national
hydrographic
data
100
year
and
500
year,
female
floodplains,
tidal,
wetlands,
freshwater,
wetlands
soils,
vegetation
types
for
the
entire
parcel.
The
entire
parcel
is
comprised
of
about
the
project
area
is
about
67.2
acres,
and
I
will
just
bring
up
on
the
screen
just
to
give
you
a
little
peek
at
that
project
area.
J
Can
everybody
see
that
yep?
Okay?
So
basically,
this
red
outline
is
the
actually
river
crossing
project
area
and
this
area
is
comprised
of
in
a
closer
fashion.
You
see
the
25
folly,
apartment
building
our
park
site
here
at
35
or
25
volume.
My
apologies,
the
fielding
connector
area
or
that's
the
fielding
is
the
other
one.
This
is
the.
I
can't
remember
the
name
of
it
right
now
anyway.
So
this,
the
project
area,
as
you
can
see
in
a
more
zoomed
in
fashion,
includes
this.
J
So
that's
kind
of
those
two
pieces
of
work
that
were
delivered
and
they're
currently
underway.
The
biological
analysis
for
the
sturgeon
and
wood
storks
is
should
be
presented
soon
as
well.
So
that's
one
piece
of
the
puzzle.
The
other
piece
is
the
design
build
prep
contract
so
currently
again
with
hdr,
the
scope
of
work
has
been
established.
We
are
currently
negotiating
through
the
process
for
a
fee
proposal,
with
the
help
of
legal
and
sterling.
J
A
draft
contract
was
delivered
to
the
fhwa
for
their
review
and
comment
so
that
contract
outlines
our
agreement
with
hdr
and
as
soon
as
we
hear
back
from
the
feds,
we
will
try
to
wrap
that
process
up.
So
we
can
get
hdr
under
contract
for
the
design,
build
prep
scope
of
work
so
that
design
build
prep
scope
of
work
should
last
through
the
year,
and
hopefully
this
time
next
year
we
will
have
received
proposals
from
design
teams,
design,
build
construction
teams
and
be
in
the
process
of
shortlisted
interviews.
J
That's
the
goal,
that's
where
we
are
in
the
grant
agreement,
and
then
construction
would
begin
soon.
Thereafter,
subsequent
there
are
two
other
items
that
are
being
coordinated
through.
The
fhwa
is
a
pre-award
letter
that
gives
us
the
authority
to
bring
this
contract
to
council
prior
to
the
grant
agreement
being
established,
so
that's
being
coordinated
and
again
working
with
our
legal
department
and
our
whole
team
over
here
at
capital
projects
in
the
parks
department.
J
While
again
we
work
on
the
grant
agreement,
so
there's
there's
actually
four
ongoing
scopes.
There's
the
original
scope
that
was
approved
some
time
ago
that
I
just
reported
out
on
there's
the
design
build
prep
contract,
there's
the
grant
agreement,
as
well
as
the
the
pre-award
letter
that
will
allow
us
to
get
the
contractor
or
the
design
team
underway.
So
that's
like
that's
like
very
much
a
30
000
square
elevation,
30,
000
foot
view
lots
of
different
pieces
and
moving
parts
within
that
that
lots
of
people
are
working
on.
J
C
This
is
sterling
that
sounded
good.
I
think
the
last
meeting
we
had
not
received
the
grant
agreement
document
yet
from
the
fed
the
fed,
but
we
do
have
that
now
and
have
been
reviewing
it.
So
we're
sort
of
in
the
process
of
that
there's
a
lot
of
details
that
still
need
to
be
entered
into
that
agree
to
the
actual
grant
agreement,
but
they've
kind
of
given
us
the
bare
bones
draft
of
it.
So
we're
looking
at
that
now.
F
One
language
thing
I
just
want
to
jump
in
and
just
make
clear
so
that
the
council
members
understand,
as
jason
and
sterling
are
using
the
word
federal
highway,
fhwa
and
also
fed
that,
specifically
talking
about
the
federal
highway
administration
division
office
of
south
carolina,
not
d.c,
so
we're
trying
to
push
with
the
division
office
to
get
those
things
in
line,
so
it
can
get
to
dc
for
their
final
review
and
get
back
to
us.
So
I
just
wanted
to
make
that
delineation
there.
I
H
H
A
Any
other
questions
for
our
team
that
joined
us,
okay.
Well,
thank
you
all
very
much
and
we'll
be
calling
on
you
regularly
to
keep
us
updated,
because
this
is
something
I
think
that
our
constituents
have
been
asking
a
lot
of
questions
about.
So
thank
you
for
taking
the
time
and
what
is
I
know
very
busy
times
for
you
all
to
give
us
the
update
all
right.
Finally,
our
director's
update,
mr
benjamin.
F
But
since
we've
introduced
that
there's
been
over
19
different
development
projects
in
the
city
that
because
of
their
trip
generation
models
and
their
traffic
studies
and
otherwise
have
had
to
introduce
transit,
accommodations
into
their
strategies
and
what
that
looks
like
for
their
entire
build
outs
and
so
they're
coming
to
the
trc
process.
With
that
already
in
their
concept
designs.
Knowing
that's
the
case,
and
so
hopefully
we
can
continue
to
work
together
to
find
other
ways
to
maximize
our
policies.
F
To
hold
the
development
community
accountable
to
the
fact
that,
if
you're
going
to
be
coming
into
our
community
and
and
creating
growth
in
whatever
way,
that
is,
you
have
to
help
us
meet
our
particular
goals
too,
whether
that's
around
congestion
or
affordable,
housing
or
resiliency.
So
thank
you
all
for
pushing
that
forward,
and
hopefully
we
could
see
more
of
that
partnership
with
carter
and
the
cog
moving
forward.
F
As
you
take
rides
around
the
city,
you've
probably
seen
the
work
of
lockwood
and
bufayne,
and
also
the
signaling
at
fairchild.
Those
are
moving
forward
smoothly
again
the
lockwood
and
bufenus
county
project
that
we
will
maintain
afterwards.
But
I'm
looking
forward
to
that
getting
finished
up
in
the
next
month
and
then
on
the
daniel
island
signalization
at
fairchild
in
island
park.
They
did
all
their
boring
and
digging
for
pouring
the
concrete
there
and
going
to
be
moving
those
projects
forward
as
well.
F
They
were
bought
out
not
too
long
ago
and
partnered
with
a
larger
micro
mobility
company
and
so
we'll
be
meeting
with
musc
in
the
coming
weeks,
just
to
talk
about
holy
spokes
in
general
and
and
kind
of
where
they
stand
on
that
they
do
have
the
ability
in
their
existing
contract
that
was
executed
in
2016
for
another
year
extension
this
november.
So
there's
a
high
possibility
that
we
might
be
coming
to
you
all
regarding
that.
F
But
legally
next
year,
going
into
next
year,
we'd
have
to
begin
a
new
rfp
process,
for
you
know
for
bike,
share
or
micro
mobility
in
the
city.
So
just
giving
you
a
heads
up
that
that
process
is
something
that
we
as
staff
and
obviously
presenting
to
you
all
going
to
have
to
work
around
councilmember
stephens
and
the
mayor
are
quite
familiar
with
how
arduous
the
process
was.
F
When
this
was
first
introduced
and
so
looking
forward
to
that
process
moving
forward
and
then
the
final
thing
just
a
reminder
that
we're
on
daniel
island
regarding
maintenance
for
traffic
operations
this
month
and
will
be
on
james
and
john's
island
for
the
month
of
august,
so
I'm
just
keeping
you
all
abreast
as
we're
fulfilling
those
maintenance
requests
and
work
orders
and
otherwise.
So
that's
all
I
had
on
my
list.
Unless
you
all
have
questions
or
things
we
need
to
get
going
for
y'all.
B
Thank
you.
It's
very
encouraging
to
hear
about
the
developments
that
have
been
you
know
met
the
threshold
to
have
to
provide
the
the
amenities.
Is
that
something
that
you
have
on
one
list
or
something
that
you
might
be
able
to
share
with
us
in
terms
of
just
you
know,
I
think
I
think
that's
really
encouraging.
So
we
have
a
list.
B
H
F
Mobility
speaks
to
you
know,
other
forms
of
transit
that
might
be
individual
or
smaller
in
nature.
Whether
that's
ride
share
whether
that's
e-vehicles,
whether
that's
trikes,
whether
that's
scooters,
whether
that's
not
just
general
bike
share,
but
also
e-bikes,
electric
bikes
as
well
and
gotcha,
for
example,
and
other
cities
have
begin
to
transition
to
e-bikes,
makes
it
easier
for
a
larger
swath
of
people
to
be
able
to
use
the
system.
It.
F
That
I
am
interested
about
how
that
could
be
introduced
here
in
our
city,
with
with
something
that
has
a
mixture
of
our
regular
bike
share
and
possibly
e-bikes,
as
well,
so
just
figuring
out
additional
ways
that
give
people
options
to
move
around.
One
of
the
biggest
concerns
that
a
lot
of
us
who
work
in
transportation
in
cities
is
how
many
people
use
their
car
for
trips
that
are
two
miles
or
less.
F
And
what
do
it
mean
how
much
in
congestion
that
lowers
when
those
type
of
trips
are
done
by
other
modes
or
other
connections,
and
so
as
if
somebody
is
making
their
trip
over
to
daniel
island
or
to
certain
parts
of
west
ashley
or
to
downtown
and
from
there
there's
a
health
facility
or
there's
a
recreation
opportunity
or
their
schooling
or
or
whatever.
That
is
that
they
can
get
to
that's
within
a
mile
mile
and
a
half.
F
What
does
it
mean
if
their
vehicle
can
stay
where
they
are
and
they're
able
to
take
something
else
or
if
there's
enough
connectivity,
where
they
don't
have
to
have
that
dependence
and
so
just
kind
of
trying
to
think
about
what
that
looks?
Like
for
us,
as
I
said
in
the
memo
to
you
all,
when
you
all
did
say
no
to
the
scooters,
I
think
we
have
to
think
consciously
about
what
additional
modes
of
transportation
work
for
charleston.
How
does
that
look?
F
How
does
that
build
up
our
existing
systems,
and
otherwise,
how
does
that
make
connecting
to
the
both
the
fixed
routes
and
the
eventual
bus,
rapid
transit
routes
with
with
our
car
system,
so
that
people
can
see
that
they
can
have
options
right
if
we,
if
people
are
using
parking,
rides,
for
example,
after
they
get
to
that
parking
rod?
What's
their
option
to
move
around
right
and,
and
is
that
reliable,
is
that
connected?
F
Is
that
something
that
they
can
trust
that
will
be
able
to
support
wherever
they're
trying
to
get
to
and
whatever
they're
trying
to
do
so?
I
do
think
it
is
something
that
we
have
to
have
a
conversation
about.
Obviously,
it
needs
to
be
tailored
for
charleston
right
right
and
what
works
for
us
and
what
doesn't
so.
F
But
I
do
think
it
can
be
something
that's
a
part
of
what
that
new
potential
contract
can
be
in
terms
of
the
services
that
they
provide.
Most
of
the
major
companies
that
are
playing
in
the
micro
mobility
space
have
a
number
of
different
mobility
options
that
they
can
offer.
Gotcha
does
as
well.
So
that's
no
those
fight
against
them
at
all,
but
I
think
it
could
be
a
part
of
the
conversation
of
in
a
new
in
a
new
contract.
What
are
those
options
that
they're
offering?
Is
that
in
the
phase
capacity?
F
What
does
that
look
like
there's?
Also
another
piece-
and
I
know
companies
might
not
like
this,
but
in
other
cities
they
charge
for
their
use
of
the
curb.
We
currently
don't
charge
for
the
use
of
our
curb
you
know
per
unit
or
how
that
is
introduced.
So
there's
all
sorts
of
different
things
that
I
think
a
new
rfe
would
allow
us
to
have
a
conversation
about.
B
B
A
Then
historical
perspective
on
this,
it
took
a
long
time
to
get
to
this
agreement
with
gotcha.
I
mean
we
worked
on
it
for
about
five
years,
so
we're
we're
one
in
there's
many
more
to
come
and
there's
going
to
be
lots
of
permutations.
I
suspect
ebikes
are
going
to
be
part
of
the
conversation
for
sure
they're
everywhere
and.
B
F
A
K
I
I
just
I
I
just
had
a
quick
one
and
thank
you,
councilmember
jackson,
for
asking
director
benjamin
for
the
list
for
the
james
and
john's
island
project,
but
I
just
had
one
thing
when
we
bring
up
the
non-consensual
tow
fee
at
the
next
kind
of
iteration
of
it.
I'd
just
be
curious.
If
there's
any
stats
around
in
terms
of
kind
of
the
equity
of
who
those
fees
impact.
K
You
know,
because
to
the
mayor's
point
you
know,
195
dollars
is
a
lot
of
money
to
some
people
and
not
as
much
to
others
and
I'd
just
be
curious
to
see
if
there
were
any
type
of
national
stats
through
their
trade
association
or
or
the
government
or
anything
of
that
nature
around.
You
know
who
who
does
this
fee
or
who
do
these
fees
specifically
kind
of
target?
And
how
are
they
impacted.
