Description
City of Charleston Committee on Traffic and Transportation 4/11/2023
A
A
Thank
you.
Okay.
First
order
of
business
is
approval
of
minutes
from
March
14
2023
to
have
a
motion,
but
I
can't
make
got
a
motion.
B
A
And
you
pose
the
eyes,
have
it
before
we
get
into
the
meat
of
our
agenda.
Just
for
those
of
you
who
are
visiting
us
today.
This
is
the
traffic
and
transportation
committee.
We
are
a
member
of
we're
a
committee
of
five
members,
of
which
only
three
are
here
today.
One
is
on
his
way
council
member
Brady
will
be
here.
Council
member
Greg
will
not
be
here.
Councilmember
shade
to
my
left
here
is
visiting
us
from
city
council
and
we're
happy
to
have
him.
A
We're
gonna
have
a
couple
things
on
our
agenda,
one
of
which
is
going
to
take
up
the
bulk
of
our
agenda
today
and
just
a
couple
of
things.
I
went,
I
went
back
and
looked
I
haven't
done,
this
I
think
since
I
got
elected
mayor,
I
looked
at
the
city
code
as
it
relates
to
traffic
and
transportation
and
committees
in
general,
and
one
of
the
things
I
was
reminded
about
is
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
with
committees
here
at
the
city.
A
Is
we're
sort
of
a
intake
valve
for
the
city
council
to
then
report
back
to
them
and
actually
it's
across
the
board?
It's
the
duty
of
the
standing
committees
of
the
council
to
carefully
examine
into
and
Report
upon,
all
petitions
and
other
other
matters
refer
to
them
by
this
body,
using
due
diligence
they're
on
So.
Today,
we're
going
to
do
some
diligence
and
I'm
looking
forward
to
that.
So
the
next
item
on
our
agenda
is
Union
peer
traffic
plan
presentation,
Improvement
project
presentation.
A
There
is
a
number
of
people
here
from
the
port
and
their
team
I'm
not
going
to
go
and
recognize
each
one.
I
think
someone
is
probably
going
to
take
the
mic
and
do
that
for
me.
So
unless
there's
anything
from
members
of
the
committee
before
we
get
started
on
this
item
on
our
agenda,
I'm
going
to
turn
the
meeting
over
to
Ms
Yarborough
and
her
team
and
the
floor
is
yours.
Welcome
thank.
C
You
Mr
chairman,
yes,
I
will
take
a
brief
moment
to
introduce
my
colleagues
you're,
going
to
hear
from
Jacob
Lindsay
and
Jennifer
Beal,
but
Barbara
Melvin.
Our
CEO
is
here
as
well
as
our
Council
Brian
Hellman
and
Joe
Owens.
We
also
have
our
CFO
Phil
Padgett
sitting
across
the
way
and
our
manager
of
social
media
Janie
treywick
is
here
as
well.
C
You
Mr
chairman
Mr
Mayor
members
of
the
committee,
City
staff
and
members
of
the
community
for
turning
out
this
evening.
This
afternoon
we
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
an
important
aspect
of
the
Union
peer
Redevelopment
project,
the
infrastructure
improvements
associated
with
our
proposal.
Shorty
Yarborough,
as
you
said,
Mr
chairman
vice
president
of
Statewide
stakeholders
and
local
government
relations
for
the
South
Carolina
ports.
C
Over
the
last
year,
we've
engaged
extensively
the
community
to
gather
input
and
ideas
on
the
plan
to
transform
Union
peer
into
a
new
mixed-use
neighborhood
with
significant
public
assets.
The
Proposal
includes
creating
more
green
space
and
public
parks.
Expanding
access
to
the
Waterfront,
enhancing
flooding
Solutions
and
improving
connectivity
in
our
downtown
The
Proposal
is
making
its
way
through
the
city's
rigorous
public
process.
We
continue
to
meet
with
you
all
City
officials,
also
stakeholders
and
residents
community
members.
Every
week
we
have
been
listening
and
we
are
still
listening
and
we're
responding
to
the
community
feedback.
C
People
are
sharing
their
support
and
excitement
for
the
project,
as
well
as
voicing
concerns
about
certain
aspects,
including
traffic
tonight,
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
infrastructure,
improvements
that
will
be
necessary
to
support
the
new
and
surrounding
neighborhoods
and
how
this
proposal
improves
the
city.
Greg
The
Proposal
calls
for
extending
existing
streets,
making
enhancements
to
our
city
more
walkable,
bikeable
and
drivable.
As
most
of
you
know,
Jacob
lensius
running
point
on
this
project.
C
He
and
others
at
the
low
team
have
assembled
a
best-in-class
team
of
Engineers
and
designers,
and
so
Jennifer
Beal
is
our
lead
traffic
engineer.
She's
worked
closely
with
the
team
at
Thomas
and
Hutton
to
develop
the
presentation
that
she
and
Jacob
are
here
to
present
to
you
tonight.
So
with
that
I'm
going
to
hand
it
over
to
Jacob
and
again,
thank
you
for
having
us
foreign.
D
Good
afternoon
Mr
chairman
Mr
Mayor
members
of
the
committee
council
member,
it's
been
a
while
yeah.
D
D
D
D
So
as
soon
as
we
go
full
screen
on
this
I'll
go
ahead
and
begin
yeah,
you're
gonna,
hear
from
Jennifer
and
from
myself,
obviously
this
evening
afternoon
and
at
any
given
time
for
their
questions,
please
feel
free
to
jump
in
so,
first
and
foremost,
as
I
was
saying
to
remind
everyone
where
we
are
with
the
overall
master
plan
at
Union
Pier,
and
if
I
could
just
get
a
cursor
to
click
on
that
slide,
so
I
can
control.
It
I
think
that
we'll
be
good
to
go,
which
is
one
click
here
we
go.
D
Okay,
you
all
know
the
site
today,
I
assume
that
everyone
in
this
room
knows
where
Union
Pier
is
I,
think
we're
through
that
phase
of
the
project.
So
we
can
go
to
the
next
one,
so
the
site
today
and
the
current
master
plan
proposal.
This
is
what
we
will
be
submitting
to
the
technical
Review
Committee
soon.
D
This
is
the
aerial
rendering
of
what
is
proposed
and
another
view
from
the
north
shows
the
existing
site
and
what
is
currently
proposed
and
the
key
thing
that
I
want
to
point
out
again,
just
as
a
refresher
for
those
who
may
not
have
seen
it
is
that
we
have
met
with
the
community.
We
continue
to
meet
with
interest
groups,
we
continue
to
listen
and
we
have
made
a
major
change
in
the
overall
master
plan
which
eliminates
development
eliminates
buildings
in
the
corridor
where
The,
Rice
Mill
is
and
replaces
it
with
park
space.
D
There
is
now
a
Grand
Mall
that
connects
the
The
Rice
Mill
to
the
Waterfront,
which
you
can
see
coming
all
the
way
through
the
site
connecting
to
the
island
park,
so
just
to
refresh
everyone's
memory.
This
is
our
current
operating
master
plan.
This
is
the
one
that
we
will
be
submitting
to
the
technical,
Review
Committee
for
consideration
soon
And
in
regards
to
this
presentation.
D
These
are
the
four
things
that
we'll
be
talking
about,
first
and
foremost,
the
planning
process,
how
we
have
arrived
at
the
current
ideas,
the
intent
of
the
transportation
design,
the
program
and
its
effects.
The
program,
meaning
all
the
things
that
are
proposed
to
be
built
at
Union
Pier
and
what
they
do
and
then
fourth,
a
review
of
all
the
opportunities
that
are
unlocked
through
this
Redevelopment.
D
The
very
top
one,
of
course,
is
about
Connections,
and
that's
really
what
we're
here
to
discuss
today
about
the
potential
for
Union
peer
to
improve
Mobility
on
the
peninsula,
that
people
traveling
on
foot,
on
bike,
Transit
and
in
cars
will
experience
improved
streets
intersections
and
Views
to
the
water.
That
has
been
one
of
our
goals
for
day.
One
continues
to
remain
one
of
our
goals,
along
with
all
the
other
things
which
we're
not
going
to
dig
into
this
is
the
current
proposed
master
plan
from
the
air.
D
So
this
again
is
the
same
thing
that
you
saw
in
the
earlier
watercolor
and
you
can
notice
the
large
green
space
in
the
middle
around
the
Rice
Mill,
which
is
the
most
recent
change
and
I.
Think
everyone's
got
this.
But,
as
you
know,
in
this
course
of
this
presentation,
some
slides
will
be
horizontal.
Some
will
be
vertical.
You
can
always
use
the
Harris
Teeter
to
orient
yourself
or
the
Fleet,
Landing,
restaurant
or,
of
course,
the
wharf
side
to
the
north.
D
You
see
new
development
opportunities,
you
see
the
new
Waterfront
rebuilt
and
I
want
to
point
out
a
key,
a
key
Point
as
we
begin
inherent
in
the
discussion
of
converting
Union
Pier
from
a
port
into
something
else,
is
the
idea
that
there
must
be
agreement
concurrence
around
the
goals
of
this
conversion
changing
unit
here
into
something
else,
and
that
means
agreement
among
Many,
Many,
Bodies
many
stakeholders
and
many
agencies,
including
the
future
owner,
the
current
owner,
the
local
government
state
government
and
many
others,
the
rail
that
operates
here,
other
adjacent
Property,
Owners
Coastal
permitting
agencies.
D
This
is
a
major
project
with
many
implications
and
that
interagency
coordination
is
so
important
here
in
this
map.
You
see
the
ownership
of
different
streets
in
and
around
Union
Pier,
obviously
they're
different
colors.
The
state
owns
many
of
the
roadways,
and
then
the
city
owns
many
of
the
roadways
as
well.
It's
a
fragmented
ownership
around
the
site
and
our
request.
What's
going
to
be
and
Hazard
vendor
into
the
beauty
and
we'll
be
continuing
to
be
written
into
the
Pud
is
a
request
for
City
ownership
of
all
the
streets
on
Union
Pier.
D
We
believe
that
the
city
is
the
best
owner
and
we,
of
course,
will
provide
a
revenue
stream
to
maintain
those
streets.
So
I
want
to
begin
with
that
request.
We
do
want
to
move
the
ownership
of
these
streets
out
of
the
state
and
into
the
city
so
that
we
can
design
them
the
way
that
they
should
be
designed.
D
So
that's
the
planning
process
that
we've
gone
through
and
that's
the
the
the
ownership
scenario
in
terms
of
streets,
City
ownership
and
public
spaces
too,
by
the
way
which
I
didn't
mention.
Now
we'll
talk
about
the
intent
of
the
transportation
design.
What
do
we
intend
to
do
and
I'm
going
to
just
grab
my
phone,
so
I
can
watch
our
time
quotes.
D
And
and
Mr
chair,
if
you
could
just
advise
me
about
what
time
we
should
wrap
or
3
18
now.
D
This
is
Concord
Street
today.
This
is
not
far
from
where
the
site
begins
on
the
southern
end,
and
this
is
looking
for
looking
North,
you
can
see
Dockside
to
the
north
as
well
as
the
Gadsden
condos
to
the
north.
There's
also
some
other
features
that
I
want
to
point
out
sunny
day
flooding.
How
much
is
here?
D
Maybe
this
is
just
ponding
left
over
as
well
as
a
tour
bus
which
is
there,
and
this
I
think
illustrates
a
key
point-
that
when
we
talk
about
traffic
and
the
traffic
that
will
be
generated
by
the
future
uses,
we
are
not
starting
at
zero.
The
Baseline
is
not
zero.
Union
peer
today
does
generate
traffic.
There
are
3
000
cars
that
move
on
and
off
of
it
twice
a
week.
There
are
idling
tour
buses
and
buses
that
come
and
go
on
the
streets.
D
There
are,
of
course,
industrial
operations
ongoing,
so
you
do
have
trucks
and
rail
that
are
moving
Industrial
Products
in
and
out
of
the
warehouses
today.
So
our
Baseline
is
not
zero,
it's
not
an
unoccupied
site.
We
do
have
traffic
and
transportation
impacts
that
are
occurring
today
in
the
future.
There
will
be
a
different
scenario
here,
but
you
do
have
traffic
that's
generated
through
the
site
now
to
go
Zoom
back
out
and
that
image
before
is
taken
from
you
know
where
the
photo
is
from.
D
The
challenge
is
that
Union
peer
is
a
barrier
today.
It
disconnects
the
network,
it
stands
between
the
northern
and
southern
ends
of
the
peninsula,
so
the
potential
for
connections
is
not
yet
realized.
There
was
a
time
when
Concord
Street
did
go
through
the
site
in
the
1990s
and
I
think
if
I
recall
correctly,
it
was
bifurcated
in
1994
or
thereabouts,
and
it
became
one
continuous
property.
D
It's
also
worth
mentioning
that
present
day,
Washington
Street
in
its
snakey
configuration
as
it
moves
South
and
becomes
Pritchard
and
then
turns
again
and
becomes
conquered
much
of
that.
Roadway
is
actually
on
Port
property.
There
is
not
a
right-of-way
there,
so
the
port
will
be,
in
effect,
giving
up
property
to
create
the
new
roadways.
Much
of
today's
Washington
Street
behind
Harris
Teeter
is
actually
moving
over
Port
property.
The
nature
of
those
of
those
agreements
I
have
not
seen.
D
That's
Illustrated
here
is
the
thing
that
that
Union
peer
can
solve.
It
can
provide
opportunities
to
improve
that
broken
Urban
Fabric
and
provide
for
new
connections.
This
is
the
plan
that
realizes
that,
but
this
is
what
it
looks
like
from
an
analytical
standpoint
and
I'm
going
to
return
back
to
this
diagram,
because
this
is
the
thing
that
is
the
most
important
aspect
of
my
presentation
today
and
Jennifer's
as
well
is
the
power
of
the
grid
to
create
Mobility
options.
D
D
G
A
He
had
a
meeting
that
ran
late,
he's
been
on
for
your
entire
presentation.
Just
so
you
know
it's
here
great.
G
D
Okay,
so
am.
D
No,
it's
okay,
it's
okay,
just
make
sure
I'm
not
missing
something
before
we
move
on
to
the
program
in
its
effects.
I
do
also
want
to
be
completely
forthcoming
and
totally
open
with
you
all
about
how
many
opportunities
there
are
to
remedy
problems
on
the
peninsula.
D
There
are
physical
challenges
here
that
can
be
remedied
through
to
redevelop
Redevelopment
of
Union
peer.
Those
include
existing
Road
widths,
the
presence
of
rail
on
Union
peer
site,
existing
drainage
problems,
subsurface
utilities
which
need
Improvement.
All
of
those
challenges
can
be
remedied
through
this
Redevelopment.
D
This
is
a
project
that
calls
for
a
cross-sector
collaboration
in,
in
the
truest
sense
of
the
word,
to
realize
major
improvements
that
can
benefit
the
entire
city,
not
just
the
site,
and
that's
something
we've
discussed
when
it
comes
to
drainage
before
we've
discussed
it
when
it
comes
to
affordable
housing
and
we'll
discuss
that
more.
In
the
20th,
but
when
it
comes
to
transportation,
that
commitment
and
that
record
the
recognition
that
this
plan
can
make
those
improvements
can
only
happen
with
the
collaboration
of
many
many
entities
and
agencies
over
a
sustained
period
of
time.
D
D
First
of
all,
I've
had
folks
tell
me
Jacob,
you
guys
are
just
going
to
give
us
a
sham
traffic
report.
It's
going
to
be
a
big
sham,
there's
going
to
show
no
cars
on
the
street,
but
that's
not
the
case.
We
will
have
a
traffic
report
to
present
with
the
Pud
we're
still
working
on
it,
along
with
everything
else
very
diligently.
We
will
have
a
traffic
report
that
shows
all
those
things
this
project
does
add
new
cars
to
the
grid.
Absolutely
it
will.
D
D
The
Proposal
here
is
to
build
a
true
walkable,
mixed-use,
dense,
Urban
neighborhood,
and
this
mix
achieves
that
offering
the
daily
needs
that
can
be
that
can
meet
the
services
that
can
meet
the
daily
needs
of
the
people
who
live
here
as
well
as
employment.
People
who
live
here
can
walk
to
the
office.
That
mix
is
critical
and
that
mix
is
the
same
thing
that
we
already
have
in
Downtown
Charleston,
with
the
exception
of
more
housing
at
this
site.
D
The
number
one
environmental
impact
of
Union
peer
is
to
put
people
on
the
grid
in
a
place
where
they
can
live
their
daily
lives
without,
depending
on
a
car
building
densely
in
the
city
center,
instead
of
sprawling
at
the
edge.
This
is
a
project
that
does
that,
and
that
is
at
the
core
again
of
our
transportation
proposal
and
the
sustainability
of
this
project
build
in
the
right
place,
build
densely
with
the
appropriate
mix
of
uses.
D
D
So
with
that
said,
just
looking
for
my
next
one,
I'm
gonna
I'm
gonna
go
to
Jennifer
to
talk
further
about
effects
of
program.
Okay,.
H
There
we
go
there,
we
go
okay,
hi
everybody
I
think
most
of
you
all
know
who
who
I
am
Jennifer
Beal
with
BL
engineering,
I'm,
the
owner
of
a
woman-owned
transportation
engineering,
firm
here,
Downtown
Charleston
and,
as
Jacob
said,
we
have
prepared
the
traffic
study
for
the
project.
So
just
from
a
high
level
standpoint.
What
we
want
to
do
is
kind
of
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
the
expected
trip
generation
is
as
we.
As
we
said.
H
You
know
we
have
these
land
uses
and
they're
going
to
generate
traffic
and
then
what
we
do
is
we
apply
that
to
the
existing
Network
and
look
to
see
what
the
impacts
are
so
we're
looking
at
what
what
the
impacts
are
for
the
no
build
condition
and
then
what
the
impacts
are
for
the
future
conditions
and
then
what
improvements
need
to
be
identified
to
be
able
to
address
any
impacts
that
additional
traffic
will
have
I
mean,
as
Jake
said
we
have.
There
is
obviously
traffic
associated
with
this
we're.
H
You
know
working
on
the
final
submittal
of
the
study,
but
wanted
to
give
you
a
little
bit
of
background
on
what
what
we're
seeing
numbers
Wise
from
a
trip
generation,
standpoint
and
so
from
so
kind
of
stepping
everybody
back
I
know
most
of
y'all
kind
of
unless
you
know
this,
but
we
look
at
in
traffic
studies
the
AM
and
PM
peak
hours.
H
Those
are
your
peak
times,
that's
what
we
work
towards,
and
so,
when
we
look
at
this
mix,
we're
looking
at
approximately
1400
1500
trips
in
the
morning
that
that's
total,
so
that's
going
to
be
split,
evenly
pretty
pretty
evenly
between
entering
and
exiting
and
that's
going
to
access
the
site
from
all
directions
and
then,
in
the
afternoon
we're
looking
at
closer
to
more
about
1800
or
so
1900
trips.
H
That
is
in
the
hour
entering
so
like
so
pick
PM,
it's
going
to
be
about
800
so
entering
in
that
hour
and
then
900
or
so
exiting
give
or
take
in
that
hour.
So
those
are
approximate
numbers
all
the
details
will
be
in
the
in
the
traffic
study
itself,
but
just
kind.
Those
are
the
new
trips
that
we
expect
from
the
development
foreign.
H
Stepping
into
the
next
section
that
that
Jacob's
gonna
pass
back
over
to
Jacob
is
what
we
do.
Is
we
look
at
that
and
then
we
get
into
what
improvements
are
then
needed
from
an
infrastructure
standpoint
for
the
new
vehicular
trips.
You
know
bicycle
trips,
pedestrian
trips
and
then
yes,.
B
If
you
don't
mind-
and
you
may
not
know
this
on
top
of
your
head-
but
you
know
approximately
the
trip
generation
that
we
currently
experience
from
the
embarkation
debarcation
of
cruise
ships,
that
will
go
away.
H
So,
that's
not
that's
not
a
daily
occurrence.
I
don't
have
those
exact
numbers,
but
I
can.
A
Well,
I
want
to
touch
on
that
too,
because
I
think
you
know,
as
we
consider
this
in
the
real
world
right
in
three
dimensions
and
everything
that's
going
on
and
I
thought
about
this
in
advance
of
this
meeting
yesterday.
Also
as
I
was
walking,
Concord
Street
and
there
was
a
cruise
ship
in
town.
It
generates
a
lot
of
activity
with
vehicles,
not
just
cars,
but
buses,
smaller
buses,
and
so
when
we're
talking
about
the
net
effect
of
what's
going
to
happen
with
Union,
Pier
I
think
to
get
a
complete
three-dimensional
picture
of
it.
A
You've
got
to
consider,
what's
not
going
to
happen
and
that's
at
least
twice
a
week
right
I
mean
you
got
104
trips
embarked
debark
a
year,
so
every
three
days
plus
or
minus
you've
got
X
number
of
cars
coming
on
and
off
X
number
of
buses
and
what
is
the?
What
is
the
current?
What's
the
name
of
the
current
ship
that
comes
in
and
out
the
sunshine?
How
many
does
it
hold?
How
many
passengers
have
sold
3
500-ish,
3
500.,
so
I'm
in
two
or
2500
cars
and
or
buses
coming
in
and
so
I
think?
A
H
Right
and
often
those
the
when
the
cruise
ship
terminals
are
happening
during
the
peak
hours,
sometimes
we're
fortunate,
it
happens.
I
mean
I
work
right.
You
know
a
couple
blocks
away.
You
know
sometimes
we're
fortunate.
It
happens
off
peak,
but
you
know
sometimes
it
does
happen
during
the
peak
and
we
all
know
that
those
days
are
going
to
be
a
little
more
challenging
to
navigate
through,
but
yeah.
We
can
get
the
exact
now.
I
don't
want
to
give
you
a
estimate
number,
but
we
can
get.
We
have
a.
A
H
A
Interested
too
I
mean
you,
you've
got
that
site,
surrounded
by
a
lot
of
things,
not
the
Lisa,
which
is
East
Bay
Street,
which,
with
all
due
respect,
is
one
of
the
most
dysfunctional
streets.
We've
got
not
just
on
the
peninsula,
but
in
the
city.
It's
it's
got
challenges
and
anything
that
this
gritting,
and
this
does
as
an
opportunity
to
lessen
the
effects
of
what
happens
on
East.
Bay
Street
is
something
that
I
think
I
know
I'm
going
to
be
interested
in
I.
Think
this
community
is
going
to
be
hugely
interested
in
them.
A
I
think
that's
a
big
deal.
I,
you
know,
I
live
downtown.
Ansborough
is
not
currently
in
my
district.
It's
about
to
be
I.
Have
a
house
there
and
I
listen
to
what
they
have
to
say,
including
as
recently
as
Tuesday
mobility
and
traffic
around
the
site
is
wholly
at
the
top
of
their
minds
totally
at
the
top
of
their
minds
and
I.
Think
giving
a
good
snapshot
of
what
that's
going
to
look
like
is
going
to
be
helpful.
D
So,
first
of
all,
I
know
hundreds
of
cars
per
day.
It
seems
like
a
high
number.
The
important
thing
here
is
that
we
are
Distributing
those
trips
across
a
newly
created
grid,
and
the
goal
of
this
work
is
to
be
sure
that
we
are
creating
improvements
to
the
grid
to
the
intersections
on
and
off
site,
so
that
the
network
functions
with
no
overall
reduction
in
total
level
of
service
to
the
network.
That
is
where
we
are
going
from
our
design.
D
There's
four
different
modes
that
I
want
to
drill
down
on
next,
but
I
want
to
start
by
saying
that
the
needs
of
the
neighborhood
that
you
mentioned
Mr,
chair
foremost.
On
our
mind,
we
of
course
have
met
with
ansenberg
many
times
the
formula
full
the
full
membership,
their
Union
peer
committee,
as
well
as
their
leadership.
We've
met
with
leadership
of
of
Garden
District,
and
we
will
continue
to
do
so
and
any
other
neighborhoods
that
want
to
talk
about
traffic.
D
If
there
are
specific
things
that
neighborhoods
want
us
to
discuss,
entertain
and
look
at,
of
course,
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
that,
just
as
we
have
done
all
the
way
along,
so
I'm
gonna
continue
along
so
first,
the
first
mode
in
terms
of
Transportation
opportunities
is
an
improvement
to
the
automotive
Network
and
that's
what
we
were
just
talking
about,
making
sure
that
there
are
more
routes
for
cars,
specifically
the
reconnected,
Concord
Street,
the
reconnected,
Society
Street,
Hazel,
Street,
Pritchard
Street.
D
D
It
connects
vendu
at
Waterfront,
Park,
all
the
way
up
to
Charlotte
Park,
just
north
of
the
aquarium,
so
it
connects
those
two
places,
but
those
streets
don't
go
on
to
connect
to
Somerville,
whereas
East
Bay
and
Washington
streets
will
extend
further
to
the
north
and
do
extend
further
to
the
North
Concord,
however,
does
not
Concord
will
be
anchored
by
Union
Pier.
It
will
be
the
most
interesting
thing
going
on
in
this
portion.
D
Is
this
mixed-use
development
generating
the
most
Mobility
need,
whereas
these
other
corridors
are
through
movement,
corridors
and
the
automotive
network
has
to
improve
functionality
as
we
go
forward
now,
that's
the
on-site
scenario.
The
other
part
of
it
is
the
off-site
improvements
and
we've
all
discussed
the
changes
that
can
happen
over
the
network
of
Washington
East
Bay.
These,
of
course,
go.
These
ideas
go
way
back.
I've
been
told
that
there
are
even
plans
from
the
70s
that
talk
about
the
Improvement
of
the
Washington
East
Bay
Corridor
I
haven't
seen
this.
D
This,
of
course,
is
in
the
the
Calhoun
Street
plan
by
Chan
Krieger
that
was
done.
I
think
it
was
five
or
a
six.
This
entry
five
plan
of
course
includes
the
2010
plan
for
the
ReUse
of
Union
Pier.
Even
all
the
way
back
to
the
1996
plan
for
Union
Pier
all
include
suggested
changes
to
the
corridors
of
East
Bay
Washington.
They
keep
coming
back
because
it's
a
good
idea
and
we
continue
to
study
it
as
well.
We
think
it's
something
that
needs
to
be
pursued
and
needs
to
be
done.
D
This
is
how
this
can
work
and
we're
going
to
show
you
the
design
options
that
we've
looked
at
and
we're
going
to
show
you
the
one
that
we
think
is
most
feasible
so
again
we're
not
oriented
90
degrees.
Here
you
can
see
the
East
Bay
Corridor
snaking
its
way
through.
If
you
live
in
Charleston
you've
driven
on
East
Bay
Street,
you
know
that
the
segment
from
Calhoun
to
Market
is
substandard.
In
many
ways
the
Lans
are
too
narrow.
The
geometries
are
irregular.
There's
no
space
for
bikes,
the
sidewalks
are
too
narrow.
D
Our
goal
is
to
create
a
slow
Speed,
high
volume,
Network
on
and
off
site,
with
improved
efficiency
that
can
help
to
move
everyone
through
the
grid
and
one
way
to
achieve
that
is
by
increasing
the
facilities
on
Washington,
Street
and
enhancing
Washington
Street,
so
that
Washington
and
East
Bay
began
to
function
as
a
coordinated
pair.
That's
what's
been
described
in
all
of
these
subsequent
plans
for
maybe
50
years,
and
that's
what
we've
looked
at
and
a
way
to
do
that
is
on
the
Northern
end.
This
is
the
chapel
East
Bay,
looking
South.
D
This
is
an
oblique
view.
Looking
South
in
today's
configuration,
East
Bay
Street
go
straight
and
if
you
drive
south
on
East
Bay
Street,
especially
in
the
mornings
as
you
approach,
Chapel
you'll
notice
that
there's
a
left-hand
turning
movement
that
causes
traffic
to
back
up
at
Chapel
Street,
the
that's
right,
there's
the
cut
through
the
gas
station,
which
I'm
sure
the
bank
and
the
gas
station
just
love.
The
fact
that
there's
that
little
there's
that
little
road
there
this
this
can
be
enhanced
right,
this
can
be
improved.
D
This
Northern
intersection
can
only
happen,
however,
if
the
southern
part
happens,
and
why
is
the
southern
intersection
only
possible
with
the
Redevelopment
of
Union
peer?
Well,
the
answer
is
that
the
diversion
of
Washington,
Street
and
I'll
show
you
some
drawings
on
that.
Just
a
second
goes
through
the
warehouses
that
are
currently
on
the
union
peer
site.
So
this
network
Arrangement,
is
something
that
only
comes
into
play
when
Union
peer
itself
becomes
converted
from
a
port
to
another
use.
The
warehouses
have
to
be
demolished,
and
that's
probably
the
reason
why
this
has
never
been
fully
realized.
D
D
Then
this
design,
which
is
a
three
and
three
and
what
this
does
is,
it
does
shift
volume
off
of
East
Bay,
gets
volume
away
from
ansonborough
and
on
to
Washington
accomplishing
the
network
goal
of
the
original
proposal
that
goes
back
40
years
or
so,
but
it
does
it
in
a
way
that
is
the
most
feasible
because
you
don't
run
up
against
roads
that
are
too
narrow.
So
this
can
work.
We
believe-
and
this
is
the
thing
that
we're
going
to
be
this-
is
our
recommended
and
preferred
option
simply
because
we
believe
it's
the
most
feasible.
D
This
is
the
three
and
three
and
by
the
way,
this
is
two-way
movement
on
the
streets.
Now,
there's
another
option
as
well,
which
we've
discussed,
which
is
the
one-way
pair,
so
Washington
becomes
a
one-way.
He
still
becomes
a
one-way.
We
believe
this,
of
course,
is
the
least
feasible.
It
probably
does,
however,
move
the
most
traffic
with
that
said,
we
haven't
proven
this
out.
Yet
we
haven't
studied
this
in
depth.
D
I
told
I
told
the
the
traffic
and
transportation
department
that
we
didn't
want
to
give
them
a
one-way
pair
to
have
to
undo
in
40
years.
So
so
we
don't
believe
that
this
is
the
the
most
feasible
the
three
and
three.
This
one,
we
think
is
the
most
feasible
of
the
three.
D
So
what
do
those
details
look
like
and
how
do
you
accomplish
an
improvement
of
these
networks
over
time
and
I?
Don't
know
Jennifer.
Do
you
want
to
go
through
these,
and
or
do
you
want
me
to
just
roll
through
them?
What
do
you
prefer?
Okay,
if
I
say
this,
if
I
say
something
wrong
yell
at
me,
okay,
I'm,
just
gonna
read
from
the
slides,
which
seems
like
the
easiest
thing.
So
how
do
we
do?
This
first
thing
is
to
improve
the
lineage
in
intersection
configurations
on
Washington
and
East
Bay.
D
D
If
it's
done
the
right
way
at
the
southern
end
of
the
site,
again
at
Union,
Pier
shift
traffic
flow
to
Washington,
with
a
new
signalized
intersection
of
East
Bay
at
Washington
in
the
Pinkney
Pritchard
Street
area,
and
then
all
along
the
Washington
Street
Corridor
improve
the
street
signalize
it
at
Hazel
and
Washington
and
Washington
at
Lauren's,
and
then
to
improve.
Finally,
the
intersection
all
the
way
to
the
north
at
Charlotte.
This
is
at
the
aquarium
in
Charlotte
Park,
there's,
there's
a
just
a
turn
in
the
street
there.
D
That
intersection
has
some
visibility
challenges
and
it's
little
thereof.
Jennifer
can
elaborate
on
those
that
also
needs
Improvement.
These
are
the
off-site
improvements
that
need
to
occur
to
realize
this
Vision
that
the
city
has
had,
and
so
many
plans
for
so
many
years.
This
again
requires
interagency
coordination
and
a
commitment,
but
it's
not
possible
without
Union
peers,
property,
foreign.
H
Just
as
a
reminder
we're
looking
at
the
vehicular
improvements
like
what
do
we
need
to
do
to
get
the
the
cars
to
where
they
need
to
be,
there's
there's
a
whole
set
of
pedestrian
and
bicycle
improvements
and
Transit
improvements
that
are
on
so
remember,
Jake's
kind
of
stepping
through
this
way.
But
these
are
these
are
the
ones
that
we're
kind
of
working
on
kind
of
working
top
to
bottom.
And
then
you
know
if
every
anybody's
been
to
the
Charlotte
at
or
concorded
Charlotte
intersection.
You
know
that's
just
not
not
a
real
intersection.
H
Today,
it's
kind
of
a
turn,
and
so
you
know
there
will
be
in
you
know:
increased
volume,
even
with
the
current
plans,
for
that
section
of
Concord,
so
just
kind
of
get
that
cleaned
up
and
make
it
more
efficient.
But
that's
what
we're
really
looking
for
we're
looking
for
how
to
not
only
to
kind
of
help
with
the
lane,
with
and
making
the
streets
a
little
bit
a
little
bit
bigger
and
be
able
to
handle
more
capacity
and
efficiency
and
and
really
kind
of
get
the
most
Jeep.
D
D
A
D
That's
correct
to
the
right
on
the
other
side
of
the
purple
line:
that's
Union,
Pier,
okay
and
today
we're
the
van
is
parked
that's
Union,
Pier,
that's
on
Port
property,
okay!
So
yes,
that's
correct
and
then,
when
you're
on
Washington
Street,
what
does
Washington
Street
look
like
this?
Is
today's
Washington
Street
the
ansonborough
and
is
on
the
left
and,
what's
envisioned,
is
again
a
beautiful
Street
in
keeping
with
Charleston's
character?
D
These
are
three-story
buildings,
Row,
House
type
design
on
the
left,
and
this
kind
of
reconfiguration
is
the
thing
that
we
think
can
be
again
enabled.
What
does
the
space
sheet
look
like
by
shifting
volume
away
and
again,
we
have
to
make
sure
that
we've
proved
it
out.
I
got
to
make
sure
it
works
three
lanes
here
and
bike
facilities
on
East
Bay,
because
all
of
this
segment
of
East
Bay
does
lose
a
lane
in
their
current
preferred
option,
so
you're
losing
one
vehicular
Lane
through
the
entire
corridor.
D
Next,
the
next
mode,
the
cycling
Network
so
first
and
foremost,
and
I'll-
give
you
the
details
of
this.
We
need
a
meeting
with
my
friend,
Mrs
Zimmerman
and
Charleston
moves
and
I
want
to
make
sure
that
you
know
that
we
understand.
We've
read
every
letter
that
you
have
written.
We
understand
that
there
are
needs
that
can
be
met
here
and
we
want
to
get
together
with
you
as
soon
as
we
can
so
after
the
meeting.
D
Let's
talk,
because
it's
very
important
that
we
meet
and
we
understand
all
of
your
viewpoints
and
perspectives,
I
also
want
to
say
as
a
lifelong
cyclist
myself.
You
all
know
that
that's
a
cause
that
we
are
dedicated
to
and
I
want
to
walk
you
through
our
current
thinking
on
Union
peer.
The
proposal
for
these
streets
are
narrow,
slow
speed,
streets
streets
that
are
made
for
the
integration
of
walking,
cycling
and
vehicles
all
at
once.
D
We
are
not
proposing
high-speed
streets
that
need
separated,
dedicated
infrastructure-
that's
not
in
the
design
proposal
here,
with
the
exception,
of
course,
of
East
Bay
Street.
Now
the
intention,
the
concept,
our
preferred
concept,
most
feasible
concept,
takes
volume
away
from
today's
East
Bay,
which
opens
up
the
potential
for
East
Bay
to
become
a
bicycle
corridor,
Chapel
all
the
way
down
to
Market
from
Market
all
the
way
up
to
Chapel.
That's
a
new
idea,
that's
what's
shown
in
dispersion
and
that
could
be
a
huge
benefit
to
cycling
into
Mobility
on
the
peninsula.
D
Adding
a
bicycle
Corridor
closer
to
the
neighborhoods
and
every
street
on
Union
Pier
should
again
be
a
slow,
Speed
Street,
which
is
cycling
safe,
inherently
with
its
design
and
again,
this
is
the
network
diagram
with
East
Bay
becoming
a
bicycle
Corridor
over
the
course
of
its
life.
Now
one
question
is
Concord
Street.
What
happens
at
Concord
Street?
Does
it
need
bike
Lanes
or
not?
That's
a
question
that
we're
open
to
discussion,
we're
open
to
suggestions
and
we're
open
to
have
a
conversation.
May
evolve.
D
D
It's
been
a
while
this
document
does
is
that
it
says
that
there
should
be
a
system
applied
when
we
study
the
roadways
around
the
city
and
we
shouldn't
just
not
put
Lanes
or
put
Lanes
or
not
put
bike
or
put
them.
However,
we
feel
like
because
we
enjoy
them,
but
they
should
actually
or
not
enjoy
them,
but
there
needs
to
be
a
system
that
provides
justification
for
where
bicycle
facilities
are
provided.
D
How
they're
configured
and
the
people
pedal
plan
that
that
we
use
at
the
city
is
a
combination
of
two
things:
the
London
cycle,
design
standards
from
2012
and
the
nacto
national
associative,
citization
officials,
guidelines
for
the
United
States,
creating
what
we
believe
is
a
combination
system,
that's
kind
of
halfway
between
a
European
city
and
halfway
between
an
American
city,
and
that,
of
course,
is
what
Charleston
is
when
it
comes
to
its
design.
D
That
sort
of
system
is
founded
briefly,
I
want
to
delve
into
some
detail
and
make
sure
this
is
on
the
record
for
this
meeting
so
that
we
can
communicate
our
design,
intent
and
open
open
up
the
conversation
for
future
discussion.
D
D
If
it's
high
speed
or
if
there's
lots
of
cars
on
the
street,
you
need
to
separate
the
bicycle
infrastructure.
That's
what's
under
that's
what
undergirds
the
entire
plan
and
all
these
networks
that
you
see
in
blue
were
analyzed
so
by
this
this
rubric,
this
system.
This
was
based
on
London's
standards.
If
a
street
is
between
6
and
13
000
cars
per
day,
it
says
cycle,
Lanes
or
combined
use
with
calming
and
signage
I
mean
the
bikes
and
the
cars
are
together
on
a
calm
Street
with
cobblestones.
D
Well,
maybe
not
cobblestones
street
with
bricks
paved
Street
or
a
street
that
otherwise
has
calming
features
that
slow
the
cars
down
and
enable
the
car
and
the
bike
to
share
and
keep
Lanes
narrow,
which
reduces
speed
and
therefore
increases
safety
below
6
000
cars
per
day
are
traffic
columns,
trees.
They
need
no
intervention,
they're
good
to
go
as
long
as
the
intersections
are
safe
on
the
other
side,
if
a
corridor
is
over
13
000
cars
a
day,
you
absolutely
need
separated
facilities.
You
need
a
cycle
track.
You
need
something
with
a
physical
barrier.
D
You
wanted
to
be
safe.
That
system
has
been
in
place
since
we
created
and
adopted
this
plan,
and
we
ran
that
on
Union
Pier.
This
is
the
system
that
we've
used
in
designing
the
streets.
Now,
if
we're
missing
something
or
if
we
need
to
provide
different
kinds
of
facilities,
let's
sit
down
and
talk
about
simple
as
that
and
with
this,
what
that
does
for
us.
That's
what
creates
articles
now.
The
last
thing
I'll
say
about
conquer
Street
does
Concord.
You
need
bike
Lanes
in
this
section,
again
we're
open
to
any
new
ideas.
D
We
may
be
missing
something,
but
this
is
our
analysis.
First
of
all,
we
don't
believe
that
the
volumes
are
going
to
go
above
6
000
cars
per
day,
so
the
volume
our
we
don't
think
they're
going
to
go
above
that
so
that
doesn't
put
us
clearly
in
the
need
bike
lane
category
it
puts
us
into
shared
category.
D
That's
the
first
piece.
Second
piece
is
that
we
have
disconnected
infrastructure,
we're
not
aware
that
there
are
plans
for
bike
Lanes
on
Concord,
Street,
south
of
Union
Pier
or
Concord
Street
north
of
Union
Pier,
and
the
third
thing
is
that
we
don't
want
to
widen
the
streets
by
adding
a
bicycle
lane
and
there
therefore
creating
more
pavement
space
and
speeding
up
cars,
which
is
adverse
to
our
goal.
And
the
last
thing
is,
we
don't
want
to
provide
opportunistic
parking
opportunities
for
people
parking
in
bike
Lanes.
So
so
that's
been
our
thinking.
D
We
could
be
wrong,
we're
open
to
conversation,
but
that's
why
we've
derived
the
design
that
we
have,
because
we
think
it
applies
the
best
standards
of
the
city
in
the
right
way
on
the
site
and
now
moving
on
to
the
transit
Network.
D
You
so
much
Mr
chair,
we
have
met
with
Carta
and
we
are
aware
that
they're
doing
a
CityWalk
peninsula-wide
study
and
we
are
working
in
coordination
with
them.
We
have
identified
Concord
Street
as
a
key
Link
in
the
network
and
Jennifer's.
Tell
me
if
I
misspeak
or
say
anything
wrong.
This
new
north
south
connection
provides
for
what
could
potentially
be
whole
new
routes
for
them,
or
it
could
augment
the
existing
routes
that
they
have.
We've
talked
with
them
about
optimizing,
the
location
of
stops.
D
A
D
And
we
have
space
to
do
it
in
the
in
the
new
park
that
will
be
designed
right
in
front
of
the
of
the
custom
house.
So
it's
a
great
opportunity
for
a
major
addition
to
the
transit
Network
and
there
may
be
other
opportunities
to
integrate
a
Transit
stop
with
we've
talked
a
lot
about
ferry
service
should
that
prove
feasible,
perhaps
there's
a
link
there
as
well,
that
gets
water
service
directly
onto
land
Transit
service.
D
So
a
lot
of
opportunities
provided
that
the
north-south
connection
and
the
final
thing
the
whole
grid
built
out
is
The
Pedestrian
Network.
This
is
in
many
ways
for
me
at
least
the
most
compelling
aspect
of
Union
peer,
two
colors
that
have
been
added
to
the
map.
The
green
are
pedestrian
streets,
pedestrian
walkways
in
the
tradition
of
Charleston,
from
Gateway
walk
where
I
lived
for
many
years
to
stole's
Alley
to
all
the
different
alleys
that
are
all
throughout
the
city:
pedestrian
Network,
north,
south
or
east
west.
D
This
pedestrian
Network
interconnects
a
whole
series
of
landmarks
and
new
public
spaces
to
be
created
that
will
make
walking
through
Union
Pier
a
truly
wonderful
experience
where
different
landmarks
will
be
will
be
experienced
in
sequence.
We
really
think
that
the
pedestrian
opportunities
here
are
incredible
and
I'll
conclude
on
on
these
slides.
D
If
it's
good
with
you
and
I'll
conclude
creating
the
link
of
the
public
pedestrian
Promenade,
all
the
way
around
the
peninsula
is
the
crown
jewel
of
this
project,
and
we
believe
that
it
will
be
a
major
enhancement
not
just
because
it
has
resiliency
qualities,
but
because
it
is
a
great
place
to
walk
and
will
open
the
harbor
to
the
public
for
the
first
time
ever
interconnecting
a
beautiful
series
of
spaces,
another
space
on
the
site,
with
no
cars
and
in
the
image.
This
is
just
a
pedestrian
part
connected
on
that
Network.
D
A
Thank
you
very
much.
I
see
a
point.
I
see
a
question:
okay,
council
member
Brady.
When
you
get
to
the
mayor
I'm,
going
to
start
with
the
mayor,
then
go
to
council
member
Brady.
I
Thank
you
Mr
chairman,
and
thank
you,
Jacob
and
and
team
for
that.
I
You
know
great
greatly
appreciated,
and
you
know
I
appreciate
you
reaching
out
to
Charleston
moves
after
this,
because
you
know
I
think
they
have
a
important
kind
of
advocacy
role
to
play,
but
I
kind
of
had
a
question
and
it
may
be
more
towards
towards
chairman
seekings,
but
you
know
he.
He
and
I
have
worked
on,
stop
sign
or
stop
lights
a
lot
here
in
the
city
and
know
that
our
our
friends
at
the
county
and
our
friends
at
the
D.O.T
are
not
always
as
receptive.
I
You
know,
I
agree
with
those
locations,
but
just
wanted
to
see
kind
of
in
what
we
thought
kind
of
the
time.
Horizon
was
for
our
friends
at
the
state
in
the
county
to
kind
of
come
on
board
with
this
plan.
If
it's,
if
it's,
what
we
choose
to
go
forward
with.
A
B
So
this
is
the
first
time
we're
seeing
some
of
this
to
this
detail.
So
I
had
a
couple
of
questions
and
maybe
that
we
have
a
follow-up
get-together
about.
B
But
would
you
mind
flipping
all
the
way
back
on
close
to
beginning
that
shot
of
Concord
Street?
Looking
North?
Yes,
sir,
you
know
you
mentioned
the
the
puddle
that
was
in
the
street.
It
was
way
back
in
the
beginning.
B
I
just
wanted
to
point
out
that
you,
you
failed
to
mention
the
beautiful
barbed
wire
fence
right
there
and
then
we've
had
a
lot
of
discussion
about
Green,
Space
I.
Think
that's
the
only
tree
within
Union
Pier
right
there
and
the
right
of
way
so
save
that
tree
and
add
to
it
so
and
and
just
for
everybody's
edification.
B
It
just
happens
that
I've
worked
for
the
city
during
the
late,
90s
and
and
Barbara
might
remember
this,
but
the
reason
they
closed,
Concord
Street
was
at
the
time,
even
though
the
city
was
encouraging
the
port
to
do
this.
Redevelopment
of
of
this
terminal,
that
was
when
BMW
was
really
ramping
up
production
and
they
improved
the
rail
access
to
the
site
and
and
Concord
Street
created
conflict
with
the
arrival
of
the
cars
that
were
going
to
be
shipped
out
through
Union
and
peer,
and
so
that's
that's.
B
B
B
They
seem
to
be
the
two
property
owners
that
we
need
to
get
right-of-way
or
permission
in
order
to
make
that
possible
on
the
Southern
and
the
Northern
end,
because
once
you
get
past
the
wharfside
you're
at
Maritime
Center
and
we're
good
to
the
aquarium
on
the
South
Side
we're
good
at
the
Cooper
hotel,
but
not
a
across
some
Fleet
Landing.
So
we
can
come
back
to
that.
Another
time
you
mentioned
money
for
long-term
maintenance
of
streets.
B
This
is
an
issue
not
just
for
Union
Pier,
but
for
the
whole
city
that
we've
been
talking
about,
because
we
have
no
dedicated
income
coming
to
the
City
of
Charleston
to
maintain
streets
and
we're
taking
responsibility
for
street
after
Street
after
Street.
This
will
be
a
whole
collection
of
them.
So
I'd
like
to
hear
more
about
how
that's
going
to
work.
B
The
intersection
rating
this
example
came
up
and
I
guess
two
points,
one.
If
you
turn
to
Jacob
one
of
those
Maps
where
you
showed
the
vehicular
traffic.
Yes,
sir,
it
occurred
to
me
on
the
secondary
streets,
particularly
of
Pinckney
and
whatever
little
side.
Street
Pritchard
is
the
one
just
North
Richard
and
there's
even
a
north-south
secondary,
Street
I.
Think
in
there
they
don't
line
up.
You
know
on
on
the
at
the
intersection:
they
don't
be.
B
They
don't
line
up
and
everything
I've
learned
about
this
business,
I'm,
not
a
traffic
engineer,
but
the
dot
tells
us
always
try
to
line
your
streets
up.
You
get
a
better
performance
out
of
them
case
in
point
is
over
in
Avondale.
We
want
to
realign
of
what's
Nicholson,
Street
and
and
the
county
did
a
study
saying
well,
the
intersection,
if
you
leave
it,
as
is
in
20
years,
is
going
to
be
rated
A
F
or
a
e
a
failure.
B
So
so
I
was
curious
if
Jennifer
is
going
to
have
any
kind
of
intersection
analysis,
you
know
what,
if
20
years
from
now
that
what
would
the
rating
for
East,
Bay
and
Calhoun
Street
be
essentially
versus?
If
you
do
all
this
you've
follow
me.
So
that's
another
kind
of
follow-up
thing
and
in
ginyard
street
is
isn't
didn't
really
make
it
across
to
East,
Bay
and
I
know
you
got
that
big
development
block
there,
but
I
I
would
still
question
in
a
way
how
you're
going
to
access
service.
B
You
know
that
block
without
having
an
Alleyway
or
a
ginyard
street,
going
through
the
middle
of
it
and
I.
Think
that's
all
on
my
list
for
right
now.
Okay,
I
think
I've
got
them
all
thanks
in
there.
Okay.
A
That's
your
laundry
list
of
to
do
I
got
it
councilmember
Parker
any
questions.
F
Well,
I
I'll
try
to
talk
fast
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
sit
in
and
you
and
ask
some
questions.
I'll
make
some
observations
and
I
think
that
what
you
said
very
early
on
in
your
presentation
is
that
this
Pro
as
this
property
stands
right
now
it
has
this
impact
of
choking
off
the
city
you.
It
just
reminds
me
of
the.
F
Freeway,
it
just
cuts
the
city
off
north
and
south,
and
this
is
one
of
the
real
problems
where
we
are
right
now.
In
the
current
situation,
it
does
cut
off
the
North
and
South
part
of
the
city
on
this
part,
and
you've
got
a
blank
canvas
to
deal
with
this.
To
address
a
lot
of
the
issues
that
you
you
brought
up
as
you're
doing
your
traffic
study.
I
would
ask
you
to
think
about
a
couple
of
things.
F
It
was
a
very
active
port
and
when
it
was
a
very
active
port
at
one
time
you
had
heavy
trucks
coming
in
and
out
all
over
the
place,
and
so
in
comparison
as
to
your
traffic
study,
it
would
be
what
was
that
traffic
count
like
what
was
the
impact
of
those
heavy
trucks
coming
in
and
out
on
a
regular
basis
on
these
existing
roadways
or
the
way
they
are
configured
now
and
so
when
they
were
coming
out
of
Columbus
Street
or
coming
out
of
any
of
the
other
side
streets
around
there,
it
had
a
choking
impact
on
vehicles
and
other
regular
traffic
coming
coming
back
and
forth.
F
The
other
thing
concerning
your
traffic
study
is
that
you're
going
to
add
or
proposing
at
600
units,
Hotel
units
plus
1600
residential
units,
and
while
you
do
all
of
this
wonderful
stuff,
which
is
going
to
be
really
really
good,
when
this
is
all
done,
it's
going
to
have
a
huge
impact
as
it
stands
right
now,
so
in
other
words,
you
make
all
these
connectivities
with
these
other
streets
going
north
and
south
east
and
west
you're
also
going
to
be
adding
a
burden
on
traffic
as
well.
F
So
this
just
I'm
throwing
that
idea
at
you
to
keep
that
in
mind.
It
is
going
to
have
a
you,
have
a
positive
but
then
a
negative
impact
of
the
same.
At
the
same
time,
the
mayor
mentioned
about
me,
wait
a
minute
quick
all
right.
The
mayor
mentioned
something
about
maintenance
of
streets.
One
of
my
pet
peeves-
and
you
know
on
the
Public
Works
committee-
is
sidewalks
and
sidewalks
and
sidewalks.
F
So
it's
not
just
maintenance
of
streets,
there's
also
maintenance
of
sidewalks
and
all
the
other
things
which
I
think
you
have
to
have
out
here
are,
of
course,
the
public
transportation,
the
bike,
pedestrian
and
streetscaping
to
go
along
with
all
that.
So
thank
you,
Mr
chairman
for
giving
me
my
three
seconds
of
Fame.
A
A
politician
three
seconds:
five
minutes
all
right.
Thank
you!
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
We
do
have
some
other
business.
I
have
a
couple
things.
If
you
don't
mind,
sorry,
probably
more
and
I
do
think
the
mayor's
suggestion
of
coming
back
and
sort
of,
as
we
think
through
this
and
as
this
gets
developed,
we're
going
to
invite
you
back.
A
If
you
don't
mind
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
this,
because
I
know,
there's
going
to
be
an
enormous
amount
of
interest
in
the
community
about
this
enormous
after
this
is
shown
for
the
first
time,
so
I
am
for
purposes
of
right
now,
going
to
focus
in
on
off
property
and
how
we
collectively,
as
you
said,
through
interagency
cooperation,
how
we
collectively
can
make
the
East
Bay
Washington
Street
corridor
changes.
A
Finally,
after
really
it's
been
25
or
30
years
a
reality.
How
does
that
look
in
three
dimensions
in
the
real
world
in
the
time
frame
that
you
all
are
thinking
about
for
this?
How
do
we
do
it
in
terms
of
interagency
cooperation
and
financing
it,
because
it's
not
going
to
be
cheap
to
do
right
and
I
am
huge.
Let
this
is
no
secret
to
you.
A
Jacob
was
talking
about
I'm,
hugely
interested
in
that
East
Bay
Corridor,
Improvement,
redesign,
reconfiguration
and
traffic
calming
and
allowing
a
space
Street
what
it
should
have
been
for
a
long
time
to
be
the
edge
of
a
calm
residential
neighborhood
to
the
west
and
allowing
people
to
live
in
that
residential
neighborhood
to
walk
safely
down
the
street,
to
ride
their
bikes
and
be
able
to
cross
the
street,
none
of
which
you
can
do
right
now.
That
street
is
over.
All
of
that,
if
you
walk
on
the
sidewalks
that
you
know,
buyer
beware
right
you're
taking
anyway!
D
A
So
let
me
follow
up
on
that.
I
mean
a
PUD
is
what
it
is.
It's
a
creature
of
both
South
Carolina
and
city
law.
There
are
the
confines
of
the
Pud
and
there's
the
effects
inside
it
and
outside
right.
What
tools
do
we
have
the
city
or
collectively
together
to
make
outside
of
the
Pud
improvements
happen
and
be
tied
in
to
this
pod?
That's.
D
Asking
yeah
it's
a
great
question
and
it's
very
common
in
many
puds
to
speak
to
the
nature
of
outside
the
premise.
Long
Savannah
speaks
of
the
Glenn
McConnell
expand.
The
list
goes
on,
almost
every
PUD
has
those
Provisions
within
it
and
what
we
would
do
is
with
the
land.
Use
attorneys.
Welcome
a
discussion
about
exactly
how
we
accomplish
those
things
through
all
those
mechanisms
and,
of
course,
there's
Beauty
itself,
there's
also
the
mechanisms
of
the
Tiff
which
can
tie
specific
funds
to
certain
improvements.
B
G
Absolutely
Mr
chairman
what
I
know
I
can
commit
to
you
on
behalf
of
the
Ports
Authority.
Is
us
bringing
together
the
other
stakeholders,
the
dot,
as
we've
done
in
other
instances,
with
regards
to
traffic
considerations
on
Terminal
or
in
and
around
our
facilities,
so
that
we
can
have
great
interconnectivity
with
existing
infrastructure
improvements
to
that
infrastructure,
as
we
make
improvements
either
to
our
facilities,
or
in
this
case,
redeveloping
the
facility.
A
B
A
Right,
there's
so
much
more
to
talk
about,
thank
you
all
for
being
here
unless
there's
any
real
pressing
questions
for
any
member
of
the
committee
I'm
going
to
end
this
portion
of
our
program
by
saying
this,
this
is
incredibly
interesting
and
informative.
More
to
come
right
would
love
to
have
you
back
at
your
convenience
in
ours,
but
sooner
rather
than
later.
If
you
all
don't
mind,
and
if
you
don't
mind,
keeping
us
informed
and
I
would
ask
that,
to
the
extent
that
you
all
are
meeting
and
and
speaking
with
the
D.O.T.
A
Just
let
us
know
how
that
goes
and
perhaps
include
Mr
Somerville
or
some
of
his
staff
as
those
conversations
go
forward.
Okay,
any
other
questions
for
any
member
of
the
committee.
Also,
will
you
share
this
presentation
with
us?
Please
great.
Thank
you
any
other
questions
from
any
other
member
of
the
committee
with
that
I'm
going
to
move
on
to
the
next
item
on
our
agenda,
which
is
the
parking
meter
contract
approval
with
kale
America
Inc
doing
business
as
flobird
and
who's
going
to
handle
this
Year
miss.
J
Okay,
sorry
all
right
well,
I
do
have
some
good
news
to
report.
We
have
finalized
the
contract
for
our
updated
parking
meters.
This
is
with
kale
America
doing
business
as
flowbird.
This
was
an
RFP
that
closed
end
of
last
year,
I
believe
several
of
y'all
were
on
the
selection
committee
with
and
awarded
it
to
contract
to
flowbird
kale
America.
We
have
finalized
the
contract,
it'll
be
for
the
contractors
for
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
a
term
of
three
years
with
three
one-year
extensions.
J
I
believe
that
the
team
has
already
been
down
to
work
with
the
City
of
Charleston
to
identify
our
needs,
I'm,
not
sure
if
those
have
been
finalized
yet,
but
it
does
look
like
it'll,
be
over
1100
New
parking
meters.
No
action
needs
to
be
taken
on
this
contract.
It
went
through
bids
bids
and
purchases,
so
this
will
appear
on
Ways
and
Means.
This
was
just
for
information
and
to
answer
any
questions.
Okay,.
A
E
Sir
I
just
I,
guess
I
just
want
to
let
the
committee
know
we
started
this
back
in
October
of
last
year
and
which
in
December
is
when
we
made
the
selection
of
flowbird
and
again
went
through
the
negotiations
of
this
and
we're
ready
to
move
forward.
You
know,
flobird
are
the
new
meters.
We
plan
on
having
a
single
Space
level,
space
with
pay
stations,
we'll
have
the
parking,
apps
and
smart
card
credit
card
options,
so
we're
pretty
excited
and
once
we
get
this
contract
signed
and
we're
ready
to
move
forward.
A
E
K
B
So
Robbie
you
mentioned
a
couple
of
things
there,
including
the
app
or
some
payment
by
app.
Would
you
just
kind
of
summarize
when
you
have
these
meters
in
place,
what
will
be
different
about
what
we
have
now?
What
will
be
we
be
doing
that
we
don't
do
now.
E
Well,
the
meters
we
have
now
as
far
as
the
payment
they
accept
coin.
We
have
a
smart
card
option
and
credit
card
these
new
meters.
Will
they
have
the
option
of
accepting
coin?
They
will
accept
credit
card.
They
have
the
smart
card
option
as
well
as
the
app
the
app
will
allow
our
customers
to
pay
different
options.
They
can
pay
by
phone,
as
well
as
the
pay
stations
we're
planning
on
at
least
putting
six
in
our
surface
Lots.
E
Now
the
pay
stations
are
touch
screen
which
again
will
allow
them
to
pay
with
coin
credit
card
or
pay
by
space.
This
flowbird
also
has
the
license
plate
recognition,
so
they
can
pay
per
space.
Is
the
option
that
we
have
with
that
as
well?
So
there's
a
bunch
of
different
options
with
this:
the
new
company
just
so
much
technology
out
there
for
us
to
be.
E
A
G
A
You
went
around
this
table.
Ask
me
what
the
license
plate
is.
No
one
would
know
it.
This
will
be
a
change
to
that
right.
Any
other
questions
just
really
quickly.
I
did
sit
on
that
selection
committee
and
one
of
the
things
I
think
distinguished
this
company
from
the
others
who
presented
all
of
them
by
the
way
were
really
excellent,
was
the
fact
that
they
are
a
technology,
forward-thinking
company
and
that
what
we're
getting
will
allow
us
to
meet
future
technological
demands,
which
our
current
system
does
not.
A
Let
us
do,
and
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
during
the
selection
process
and
asked
them
pretty
pointedly
about,
is
how
eventually,
in
the
future,
the
the
less
Hardware
you're
going
to
need
is
going
to
be
so
much
more
software
driven
or
eventually
you'll
just
have
a
QR
code
on
a
sidewalk.
You
use
your
smartphone
boom.
A
That
also
becomes
the
meter
head
and
it's
all
in
real
time
and
and
that
will
become
so
much
more
efficient
and
we
need
I
did
hear
you
say:
1100
meter,
heads
and
we've
got
700
1700
meters,
so
we're
doing
just
some
by
station.
Is
that
what
we're
doing.
E
E
We've
been
meeting
with
them
weekly
I,
believe
it's
weekly
we've
been
talking
with
them.
The
initial
was
three
months
after
the
contract
is
signed,
but
probably
around
that
same
timeline.
Three
months
and.
A
Hardware
software
and
support
yes,
okay,
any
other
questions
in
the
committee.
We
don't
need
any
action
on
this
I'm
going
to
pass
along
that
we've
been
informed
of
this
to
ways
and
means
if
they
ask
and
I
will
take
it
up,
always
means
great.
A
L
Floor
is
yours
good
afternoon,
everyone
Tyrone
Lawrence
director
of
parking
services
for
the
City
of
Charleston
I,
want
to
give
a
quick
update
on
the
King
Street
Parking
restrictions.
That's
on
the
weekends.
L
This
past
weekend
we
towed
a
total
of
10
Vehicles,
that's
been
Thursday
Friday
and
Saturday
changed
up
the
format
a
little
bit
Mr
Mayor
this
time.
Instead
of
placing
the
meat
the
bags
on
the
meters
at
four
o'clock,
we
moved
it
back
to
five
o'clock,
so
five
o'clock
bag
to
meters,
we
didn't
enforce
until
seven
o'clock,
so
it
gave
us
still
a
two
hour
window,
but
the
only
significant
change
we
saw
was
probably
three
additional
Vehicles
towed
in
the
previous
weekends,
so
not
bad
at
all.
L
So
the
ultimate
goal
is
course,
is
to
get
rid
of
those
cones.
You
mentioned.
That's
a
I
swear
to
you
so
get
rid
of
cones,
don't
need
no
need
to
bag
and
let
the
signs
do
what
they
were
anticipated
to
do,
but
moving
them.
Moving
the
hour
back
from
four
o'clock
to
five
o'clock.
We
only
saw
maybe
three
three
cars
additional
over
this
weekend.
So,
besides
that,
we
will
share
their
success.
We're
going
to
do
the
same
thing
this
weekend,
some
that.
B
That's
good.
Do
we
have
enough
information
to
know
whether
those
cars
that
were
towed
were
there
at
five
o'clock
when
you
put
the
bags
on
or
the
same
car
I
can
check
that
I.
Don't
have
them
with
me,
but
I
can
check
that
out,
yeah
and
so
I.
Don't
know
how
we're
coming
along
on
some
alternative
to
the
cone.
B
Yes,
I
haven't
I
meant
to
go
shopping
online
and
see
if
I
can
find
something,
but
we,
if
we
had
some,
you
know
planter
that
we
could
install
some
little
casters
ons
and
all
Wheels
with
a
little
Evergreen
box,
boxwood
or
some
little
plant
that
would
beautify
the
the
somewhere
along
the
side
of
the
curb
or
at
alongside
the
the
meter
that
you
could
just
roll
out
there
and
and
put
in
place
when
the
space
becomes
empty
rather
than
putting
that
orange
cone
on
there.
B
Yes,
it
could
have
a
bright
color
on
the
planner,
so
it
you
know,
catches
people's
attention,
but
I
think
it'd,
be
you
know.
We've
shown
that
the
hanging
baskets
help
beautify
King
Street.
If
we
could
do
something
more
with
some
kind
of
a
beautification.
At
the
same
time,
I
I
think
that'd
be
worth
pursuing.
Maybe
the
the
business
improvement
district
could
help
us
with
that
yeah.
Yes,
sir.
A
Sir,
thank
you
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you,
your
team's
doing
a
really
good
job
of
this
hard
business,
but
it's
made
it.
It's
made
a
big
difference.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you,
sir,
and
you.
Let
us
know
what
we
can
do
to
help
you
please.
Okay,
we're
good!
Thank
you,
sir
yeah
man.
Okay,
we
have
now
come
to
the
end
of
our
agenda.
Is
there
anything
else
to
come
before
the
transportation
committee?
Yes,
council,
member
forkers.
K
Thank
you,
Mr
chairman,
a
touch
base
with
you
earlier,
but
I
would
just
request
that
we
bring
rethink
volley
road
to
our
committee.
At
some
point.
I
know
this
has
been
a
big
conversation
on
James
Island,
so
we'd
love
to
have
some
conversations
about,
rethink
poly
Road
here
in
our
traffic
and
transportation
committee.
If
it.
A
In
fact,
when
I
went
back
and
looked
at
our
rules
of
council
for
any
standing
committee,
any
member
of
the
committee
can
request
something
to
be
put
on
agenda
and,
if
the
chairman
doesn't
put
it
on
that,
member
can
put
it
on
the
agenda
themselves.
That's
in
our
rules
so,
but
your
chairman
has
heard
you
we
will
make
sure
that
happens.
