So
I'm
here
about
the
retaining
wall
between
my
home
190,
Aqua
Road
and
the
basketball
court
over
by
balong
pool
the
wall
has
been
deteriorating
for
quite
some
time.
I
went
to
the
city
within
the
last
couple
years
for
help
with
that.
I
was
told.
The
Integrity
of
the
wall
was
my
responsibility.
To
maintain
I
tried
to
do
that.
I
hired
a
contractor
to
do
that.
I
signed
a
contract
and
realized
he
wasn't
registered
insured
come
to
find
out.
G
He
stole
fourteen
thousand
dollars
from
me
for
a
deposit
that
I
gave
him
brought
that
to
contractors.
Registration
and
Licensing
Board
won
the
hearing.
It
went
to
the
AG's
office,
AG
put
on
an
arraignment
for
him,
he
didn't
show,
and
then
it
went
out
for
a
warrant.
So
there's
now
a
warrant
but
I'm
out.
Fourteen
thousand
dollars,
but
I'd
like
to
bring
just
a
few
things
to
the
attention
of
Public
Works,
because
I
feel,
like
the
city,
should
be
partially
responsible
for
this
wall
and
repairing
it.
G
It
is
yes,
so
for
two
reasons.
So
I'll
start
with
that
one,
since
I've
attempted
to
have
the
city
help,
the
partial
partial
part
of
the
wall
has
collapsed
into
the
basketball
court.
So
now
it's
sitting
there
as
a
public
issue
public
safety
issue.
Secondly,
you
could
see
on
the
first
page
the
property
map
flat
card
that
I
got
from
the
building
officials
office
shows
that
the
wall
lies
between
the
property
line.
It
it
crosses
right
through
the
property
line.
G
You
could
see
that
circled
there
on
the
plat
map
card,
so
with
that
yes,
I,
believe
it's
suitable
for
this
meeting.
The
wall
has
also
been
painted
by
the
city.
Over
the
years.
I've
been
there
for
10
years.
The
city
maintains
the
wall.
They
paint
it
green
with
a
white
stripe
on
top
the
city
trees
directly
behind
the
wall
in
the
city
park
are
no
the
roots
of
those
trees.
A
I
H
Then
I
have
the
wrong.
The
clerk
is
just
I'm
going
to
retract
what
I
just
said,
because
I
was
given
the
wrong
agenda.
Apparently
it
is
on
the
very
last
on
the
amended
agenda.
It
appears
on
the
council
communication,
190
Aqueduct
Road,
retaining
wall
I
just
want
to
make
sure
we're
all
on
the
same
page.
Then
then
it
would
be
appropriate.
G
Thank
you
so
so
it
to
me,
it
appears
the
the
city
is
conflicted
about
who's
responsible
for
this
wall
because
they
continue
to
maintain
the
wall,
but
now
that
it's
partially
collapsed
I've
been
told
it's
my
responsibility,
so
I'd
like
to
have
public
works.
Please
help
me
and
clear
that
up.
Not
only
is
it
being
painted
and
maintained
by
the
city,
it's
on
the
property
line.
It
crosses
the
property
line.
The
trees
behind
the
wall
are
the
city.
Trees.
G
I
was
here
for
that
statement
that
it
was
because
of
because
it's
such
a
big
backlog
that
the
priority
they're
prioritized
by
public
safety
issues
I
can
attest
that
I
asked
put
a
request
in
to
have
those
trees
removed,
because
the
engineer
said
that
the
roots
of
those
trees
are
pushing
on
the
wall
and
causing
it
to
buckle
out
within
one
week.
Those
trees
were
removed.
I
have
I
have
emails
in
this
packet
about
that
that
was
taken
care
of
very
quickly.
G
So
to
me,
that
implies
that
the
city
agrees
that
this
these
trees
are
public
safety
issue
affecting
that
wall.
That's
on
the
back
end,
there's
a
four
foot
tree
trunk
I
was
told
by
an
arborist
that
the
roots
of
those
trees
can
can
can
travel
seven
times
the
the
size
of
the
tree
trunk.
So
that
would
be
28
feet
which
is
well
within
that
that
tree
trunk
is
within
about
inches
from
my
wall.
My
wall
I
say
because
the
city
continues
to
tell
me
it's
my
wall.
G
There
are
pictures,
I,
don't
know
if
they're
able
to
be
brought
up
on
the
screen
tonight,
but
they
are
in
black
and
white
in
here
of
a
cluster
of
trees
that
continue
to
grow
behind
the
wall,
and
that
has
been
happening
for
years
and
they
get
bigger
and
bigger,
and
then
it's
just
more
roots
that
are
pushing
on
the
wall
on
the
front
side
of
the
wall.
Again,
I,
don't
know
if
we
can
bring
that
video
up
from
last
city
council
meeting.
D
G
You,
okay,
it
also
has
the
pictures
that
I'm,
referring
to
so
the
point
of
bringing
up
the
video
is
every
time
it
rains
like
it
did
the
other
day
like
it
did
on
the
day
the
wall
collapsed.
There's
the
video,
the
city
street
water,
this
very
poor
drainage
by
this
wall
and
the
the
water
goes
onto
my
property,
but
not
only
onto
the
property
but
through
the
wall.
G
So
that's
Point
number.
Thank
you.
If
you
could
bring
up
the
that's
the
collapsed
wall
now,
you
can
see
very
large
trees
to
the
left.
Behind
those
trees
were
the
trees
right
behind
the
wall,
the
same
kind
same
height.
Those
have
since
been
removed,
thankfully
to
the
city,
but
in
my
eyes
too
late,
because
the
damage
is
already
done,
but
they
do
continue
to
grow.
There's
about
a
cluster
of
nine
trees
that
were
cut
down
again
in
November
and
they
they're
going
to
continue
to
grow.
G
Those
are
the
that's
the
cluster
of
trees
that
most
recently
were
cut
down
in
November
23rd,
and
you
can't
see
it
yeah
there.
It
is
so
that's
the
four
foot
tree
trunk,
that's
literally
about
a
foot
from
the
wall,
so
I
don't
think
it's
a
disputable
fact
that
the
roots
of
those
trees
are
pushing
on
the
wall
and
those
are
City
trees,
and
that
was
the
fireman
who
told
me
that
the
city
should
be
responsible
for
this.
G
So
again
we
have
the
plat
map
that
shows
the
wall
goes
right
through
the
property
line.
We
have
the
trees.
We
have.
The
water
I've
been
I
I
received
a
demand
letter
from
the
city
that
I
am
in
violation
of
retaining
World
code
and
that
I
need
to
fix
it.
I
made
that
attempt
I
I'm
now
out.
Fourteen
thousand
dollars.
G
I
don't
have
the
means
to
do
it.
I
keep
trying
with
the
city
the
city,
solicitor
came
out,
Chris
Malay,
I
came
out
to
my
house
the
day
after
this
was
on.
The
news
asked
me
not
to
speak
to
the
media,
about
it
he's
going
to
try
to
help
me
I
sent
him
two
emails
about
the
things
he
said.
He
would
help
me
about.
He
didn't
respond
to
either
email.
He
said
he
was
going
to
help
me
get
into
a
loan
program
that
didn't
happen.
He
said
he
was.
He
knew
the
AG.
G
H
D
F
E
C
C
E
G
B
G
Us
that
was
submitted
with
the
claims
committee,
with
my
the
form
that
you
submit
for
claims
and
I
put
a
whole
packet
with
all
the
pictures.
The
engineers
memorandum,
the
insurance
I,
was
also
dropped
by
my
insurance,
because
I
couldn't
get
this
done
on
time
because
of
the
contract
there.
So
all
that
is
in
the
packet
that
I
submitted
to
the
claims
committee.
D
B
D
D
B
J
So
I'm,
just
here,
I'm
with
Jillian
Pacheco
and
Danny
Pacheco,
we
represent
Edgewood
Highland,
Elementary
School,
we're
part
of
the
parents
on
the
PTO
committee,
so
we're
just
here.
We
want
to
hear
the
conversation
around
the
playground
and
the
things
that
are
happening
there.
We
did
want
to
mention
that
as
far
as
resources
and
funds
and
things
like
that
with
the
mural
project
that
we're
working
on
right
now,
we
do
have
a
lot
of
Community
Support
around
taking
care
of
the
building
so
we're
here.
D
K
Okay,
thank
you
good
evening.
Everyone.
Thank
you
for
this
opportunity
to
speak
at
this
meeting.
My
name
is
Ani
Mitra
I'm,
a
resident
of
33
welfare,
Avenue
Cranston.
My
comments
tonight
are,
in
reference
to
councilwoman
Jermaine's
focus
on
Street
flooding
issues
under
new
matters
before
the
committee.
K
At
that
meeting,
my
partner
Matt
shared
with
you
how
rainwater
started
coming
onto
the
sidewalk
from
Parkman
ever
since
Parkman
and
Welfare,
that
intersection
was
repaved
at
an
accessibility
ramp
installed
in
2022.
Prior
to
this
road
work,
rainwater
did
not
come
up
to
the
sidewalk
from
Parkman
Street.
K
Meanwhile,
we
continue
to
be
extremely
concerned
and
frustrated
about
the
current
state
of
the
sidewalk,
because
just
this
summer,
we've
had
our
basement
flooded,
5
or
six
times
with
rain
water
from
the
sidewalk
and
this
flooding
occurred
even
after
we
installed
various
systems
to
try
and
mitigate
the
situation
on
our
own
we've
spent
over
fifty
thousand
dollars
and
I
have
receipts
for
all
those
expenses
over
fifty
thousand
installing
a
permeable
driveway,
a
new
retaining
wall,
new
trench
drains
French
drains
all
around
the
perimeter
and
multiple
sump
pumps.
So
we've
done
our
part.
K
We
spent
a
ton
of
money
but
we're
seeing
that
the
sheer
volume
of
water
coming
down
the
sidewalk
into
the
driveway
still
too
much
for
the
systems
to
handle,
which
means
with
every
rainfall.
We
still
have
water
entering
our
premises,
so
I'm
here
tonight
to
urge
you
to
Public
Works
to
treat
this
repair
as
a
very
urgent
matter
and
expedite
the
plan
for
mitigation.
K
Like
I
said,
we've,
we've
spent
all
our
resources
money
trying
to
fix
this
on
our
own
and
we'd,
be
really
urge
the
city
to
do
its
part,
one
final
Point,
Matt
and
I.
When
we
were
at
the
last
meeting,
we
communicated
to
Justin
matuse
that
we'd
be
very
happy
to
talk
to
somebody
from
the
city
and
explain
the
situation
from
our
end.
We
don't
know
if
anybody's
actually
visited
the
site
nobody's
contacted
us.
K
D
L
D
She's
well
give
me
one
second,
actually
I
apologize.
It
is
it's
been
a
very
long
day
for
me
before
you
come
up
interim
director.
Is
there
anybody
else?
Thanks
for
your
comments,
we're
going
to
continue
with
public
comments
on
docketed
items,
Ani
I
believe
is
your
name.
Let
me
check
to
see
if
there's
any
additional
comments,
we'll
close
comments
and
then
we'll
Circle
back
and
provide
you
with
an
update
to
your
question
and
your
concern
this
evening.
D
Okay,
seen
there
is
no
additional
comments,
I'm
going
to
be
closing
public
comments
for
the
rest
of
the
meeting.
The
next
I
taken
this
out
of
order.
I
would
like
to
actually
now
have
the
interim
Public
Works
director
and
provide
us
an
update
to
the
gentleman
that
was
on
here
and
then
I'm
going
to
go
afterwards
for
the
woman.
That's
here
with
us
this
evening,
have
legal
counsel
provide
us
an
update
as
well
to
your
to
your
comments
this
evening.
L
D
K
D
H
D
M
Solicitor
rodecia:
this
was
placed
on
the
agenda
and
I.
Think
if
I
recall
correctly,
the
intention
at
the
time
was
just
to
hear
from
the
public
works
department
as
to
some
information
relative
to
the
wall.
Do
you
still
think
at
this
time,
though?
It's
best
if
we
just
defer
this
and
have
this
heard
in
executive
session,
we
defer
to
you.
H
So
I
think
there's
a
two-step
process
here.
The
first
step
is
essentially
a
referral
to
public
works
department
or
the
town
engineer
to
go
out,
investigate,
observe
whatever
do
a
report
bring
it
back
beyond
that?
Any
further
discussion,
I,
believe,
should
take
place
in
executive
session.
Purpose
of
this
should
just
be
a
referral
to
undertake
an
investigation.
L
I
have
been
out
there
a
couple
times
and
I've
looked
at
the
survey
plan
that
is
on
this
packet.
This
is
not
a
design
plan.
This
is
a
survey
plan
of
existing
conditions
showing
the
wall
leaning
over
the
property
line
built
in
private
property,
leaning
over
the
property
line
onto
that
basketball
court.
Oh
that's
what
I
have
determined
so
far.
I
can
go
out
there
again,
but
I've
been
out
there
a
few
times
already.
M
D
All
right
great,
so
it
seems
like
instead
of
bringing
an
executive
session
city
council
meeting,
instead
we're
actually
going
to
bring
this
under
executive
session
on
the
claims.
Or
can
we
is
there?
Can
we
still
keep
this
under
city
council
communication
executive
session
I
prefer
to
keep
it
under
the
city
council
one
as
well,
and
then
also
if
we
need
to
be
also
bring
it
up
at
the
claims
committee?
If
there's
no
objection
on
that,
thank
you,
oh
okay,
all
right
great!
So
it's
already
been
continued
for
the
October
claims
committee.
D
D
As
a
reminder,
it's
going
to
be
under
the
city
council
meeting,
which
is
scheduled
at
the
end
of
this
month.
I
believe
is
September
25th
it's
under
executive
session,
but
it
was
also
on
the
claims
committee
and
it
has
been
continued
for
the
next
one,
which
is
scheduled
in
October
of
2023..
I,
can't
think
exactly
what
date
in
October
it
is,
but
if
you
go
on
our
website,
you'll
be
able
to
get
that
information.
Okay,
thank
you.
D
Right
Moving
On.
The
next
item
that
I
have
on
here
are
items
that
are
under
councilwoman
Jermaine
I'm,
going
to
make
sure
that
we
continue
all
of
her
items
on
here
for
next
month's
Public
Works
committee
meeting.
If
there's
no
objection
on
that,
is
there
a
motion
to
continue
all
of
these,
or
do
we
not
need
to
have
a
motion
for
these
okay
wow?
D
Unless
there's
anyone
who
would
like
to
have
any
of
those
discussion
underneath
those
her
her
items
all
right,
so
what
I'll
do
is
I'm
going
to
move
under
my
Council
Communications
I
have
four
bulleted
items.
First,
one's
update
on
Edgewood
Highland
playground.
The
second
one
is
requesting
a
comprehensive
list
of
the
conditions
of
all
our
playgrounds,
including
details
of
the
names
of
playgrounds,
location
conditions.
Last
time
items
were
replaced,
for
example,
toys,
Mulch,
Rubber,
friends,
Court.
Etc.
D
It's
the
reason
why
I
added
the
second
one
on
here,
first
and
foremost,
Tom,
if
you
can
please
I,
provided
Tom
with
a
couple
of
the
pictures
that
I
had
that
I
took
within
the
last
few
weeks,
there's
been
additional
pictures
that
I
have
even
from
last
year
that
I
didn't
provide
this
year.
But
what
we
have
here
is
the
first
picture
the
park
over
at
Edgewood
Highland.
As
we
all
know,
it's
a
playground
that
is
literally
right
next
door
to
the
school
playground.
D
The
school
property
we
as
a
city
manage
our
playgrounds
here
in
the
city.
The
schools
do
not
have
a
responsibility
to
oversee
our
playgrounds,
I
believe
that
was
the
way
it
was
many
many
years
ago,
things
have
changed,
and
so
we
have
taken
over
it
since
you'll
see
that
there's
two
swings
on
there
beneath
the
two
swings
they're.
D
That
blue
item
is
actually
a
rubber
mat.
It
is
not
mulch
the
black
underneath
the
black
kind
of
holder
shade
that
you
see
scattered
throughout
that
blue
rubber
mat
is
really
ripped
apart.
Think
of
it
as
a
foam
and
just
just
ripping
off
layers
that
con.
The
condition
of
that
playground
has
been
deteriorating.
I've
brought
this
up
before
the
account
last
year.
I
brought
this
up
probably
the
year
before,
as
well.
I
shouldn't,
say,
probably
can't
recall
exactly
which
committee
it
was
brought
up
before
in
terms
of
the
month.
D
I
guess
that
rubber
mat
wouldn't
actually
be
sufficient
enough
to
really
hold
a
impact
of
a
fall,
so
that
sign
was
is
fairly
new.
It
was
just
put
up
a
few
weeks
ago.
We
can
go
on
to
the
next
slide,
please
that
is
a
bench
all
the
Edgewood
playground.
As
you
can
see,
there
is
the
bench
towards
the
end.
It's
it's
been
broken.
D
I
have
to
say
that
there
was
another
bench
that
was
in
a
very
similar
situation,
if
not
worse,
that
one
was
actually
fixed
when
I
brought
it
up
to
the
park
and
Rex
director
and
the
administration.
If
we
can
move
on
now
to
the
next
slide,
which
will
bring
us
into
a
more
detailed
view
of
the
playground
right
underneath
it,
that's
all
rubber
mat,
that's
not
the
way
our
playgrounds
should
look
around
our
city.
D
It's
obviously
free
to
take
your
kids
to
our
playgrounds,
and
it
should
be
a
playground
that
we
should
be
so
proud
to
have
in
our
own
backyards
and
provide
to
all
our
residents.
But
unfortunately
it's
come
to
the
point
that
there
could
be
a
possible
liability
and
I
hate,
saying
that
in
public,
but
a
truth
of
the
matter
is
that
we
can
have
kids
that
are
could
could
be
hurt.
So
I
understand
why
that
Park
that
playground
has
been
closed.
D
But
but
again
these
were
all
items
that
I've
bring
into
the
attention
of
the
administration.
It's
the
second
that
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
slide.
It'll
bring
us
to
the
next
part.
Now
this
is
the
Park
Row
run
Smith
Street.
You
can
see
the
other
slide
right
on
here.
It's
a
yellow,
slide
paint
spin,
all
pretty
much
falling
apart
on
there.
You
can
see
all
the
bushes,
that's
not
mulch.
D
That's
actually
like
little
rocks,
I'm,
not
even
sure,
if
that's
still
up
to
code
in
today's
standards
and
chatting
with
a
couple
of
folks
throughout
other
throughout
the
state
I've
been
told.
That
is
not
the
way
our
playground
should
actually
be.
They
should
be
having
mulch
or
some
sort
of
other
Alternatives,
not
the
the
rocks
to
support
the
impact
of
a
child
was
to
fall
and
again
you'll,
see
the
bushes
and,
and
it
just
hasn't
been
cleaned
that
Park
is
not
closed.
D
D
D
Do
you
think
that's
a
fair
playground
that
any
one
of
us
would
bring
our
children
that
any
of
our
friends
or
Neighbors
folks
who
live
in
our
city
should
be
bringing
their
children
to
that
playground
even
to
the
other
playground
when
it's
Fallen
apart,
if
I
think
that
the
other
playground,
which
is
Edgewood
Highland,
that
playground
is
in
bad
shape
with
the
rubber
mat
and
everything
else.
Look
at
this
playground-
that's
not
fair!
That's
just
not
right!
The
maintenance
is
not
acceptable.
D
We
have
some
cdbg
funding
and
that
location
actually
falls
under
cdbg
I
brought
this
same
part
to
the
attention
I.
This
is
the
one
thing:
I
I
and
I'll,
be
straight
honest
and
being
transparent.
I
brought
this
up,
don't
think
it
was
last
year,
but
it
was
right
around
the
same
time
that
I
also
brought
up
the
friendly
Community
playground.
D
I
didn't
get
those
pictures
from
The
Friendly
Community
playground,
because
there
seems
to
be
some
controversy
on
Whose
Landing
really
is
and
part
of
it
where
there
is
a
state,
whether
it's
a
city
who
who
really
should
be
taken
care
of
that
there's
an
mou
we
couldn't
find
it.
But,
needless
to
say,
this
is
Smith
Street
Park
Tom.
If
we
can
go
on
to
the
next
one.
F
D
B
D
It
was
okay
and
I
just
forwarded
to
you,
so
you
can
have
it
if
you
happen
to
get
them,
I'm,
not
sure,
if
that's
if
they
can
bring
them
up,
but
I
just
sent
them
the
other
ones
to
you,
Commercial
Street
playground
that
playground
also
has
a
lot
of
old
toys,
and
thank
you
for
that.
This
is
Commercial
Street
basketball,
court.
A
lot
of
the
families
in
the
area
tend
to
bring
a
lot
of
their
toys
to
that
playground,
and
it's
more
it's.
D
It's
a
community
based
flight
Community,
Based
playground
as
any
community
playground
should
be
and
they
bring
their
own
toys
and
everybody
shares
toys.
They
leave
it
there.
If
someone
has
a
child
they're
growing
out
of
the
toys
they
leave
it
there.
The
trash
is
actually
over
flooded
with
a
lot
of
old
toys,
because
in
a
way,
while
it's
a
good
thing
that
we
have
folks
coming
in
and
letting
everybody
else
share
some
of
the
toys
that
no
longer
work
for
them,
they
do
kind
of
get
damage
over
time.
D
Right
and
technically
it's
it's
a
city
playground,
and
so
we
have
our
our
toys
there,
but
we
don't
have
a
playground
that
it's
really
suitable
for
a
lot
of
the
different
age
groups.
So
we,
this
playground
is
more
so
suitable
for
a
much
younger
age.
It
would
be
great,
particularly
in
the
pocket
of
where
this
playground
is,
that
we
have
a
playground
that
is
suitable
for
not
just
kids
that
are
between
the
toddler's
age
up
until
maybe
six
seven
years
old.
D
D
If
the
basketball
court
is
very
outdated,
the
the
actual
ramp,
the
board
Tom,
if
we
can
go
to
the
next
one
and
you'll,
see
that
the
black
was
all
like
a
lot.
Some
of
it
was
filled
in
some
of
it
was
just
people
putting
tape
on
to
play
whether
it's
pickleball
or
any
other
games
I.
When
I
was
there,
there
were
a
couple
of
kids
that
wanted
to
play
basketball,
but
we
we
do
have
some
sort
of
appetite
for
folks.
D
So
apparently
they
want
to
play
Pickleball,
but
we
also
have
another
appetite
for
a
lot
of
the
kids
in
the
community
that
want
to
play
basketball
now.
I
know,
pickle
ball
is
an
up
and
coming
sport
right,
but
I.
We
have
enough
space
that
we
can
possibly
be
able
to
divide
and
help
out
folks
that
have
both
needs.
But
if
you
go
in
there
you'll
see
I,
don't
know
the
next
picture.
If
I
sent
you
the
right
one,
but
there's
you
see
that
there's
still
some
water
retaining
in
some
of
that
puddle.
D
There
there's
other
areas
that
are
very
much
like
that.
That
are
a
little
bit
deeper.
So
if
you
were
going
to
play
basketball,
it's
not
a
solid
basketball,
actual
court
at
all,
and-
and
so
that's
another
problem
right-
it
needs
a
lot
of
investment.
There's
a
lot
of
bushes
in
that
area
as
well.
That
need
to
be
cut.
D
I,
don't
know
if
that
falls
under
gpw
or
actually
Park
and
Recs
and
and
I'll
leave
it
there
with
pictures
for
now,
but
with
we
received
a
report
today,
it's
probably
in
everyone's
inbox
that
was
mailed
out
on
everybody's,
on
our
the
the
comprehensive
report
that
I
that
I
requested
and
in
that
report
that
I
requested,
if
you
actually
give
I'm
just
gonna,
bring
it
up.
On
my
on
my
end
that
was
sent
to
us.
D
D
We
then
go
into
the
report
on
Edgewood.
It
says
closed.
Clearly,
as
we
all
know,
we
then
move
on
to
Commercial
Street
playground,
all
the
commercial
just
Commercial
Street
in
general
and
we'll
see-
and
you
probably
see
the
notes
on
there
and
that
it
says
comp
in
it
says:
2006
commercial,
ad,
mulch,
seesawa
seat
warn
needs
to
be
replaced.
D
So,
having
said
all
of
that,
well
I
think
the
administration
for
the
list.
That
is
somewhat
comprehensive
and
we
can
see
that
there's
also
other
areas,
not
just
Ward
one,
which
is
the
area
that
I
represent,
but
we
can
see.
This
is
a
list
on
playgrounds
in
top
Parks
throughout
the
entire
city
and
you'll
see
that
a
lot
of
them
say
they
need
they're
in
good
shape
or
swing
needs
to
be
replaced.
Things
are
be
quacking
over,
like
say
an
Oak
Hill,
Eden
Park.
D
This
is
yet
we
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
do
a
better
job
with
our
with
all
of
this.
So
there
is
a
recent
grant
that
was
released
by
the
Rhode
Island
Department
of
environmental
and
management.
Rhode
Island
DEM
I've,
reached
out
to
our
grant
writer
I
did
connect
with
her
this
week.
She
asked
she
told
me
what
we
needed.
D
I
have
asked
her.
Just
for
additional
specifics,
I
would
like
to
know
to
the
administration
I
think
we
have
our
Park
and
Recs
director
here
before
us
this
evening.
What
I?
What
I
am
requesting
at
this
point
as
a
start,
is
that
the
administration
work
with
our
grant
writer
to
find
how
we
can
actually
seek
funding
for
these
playgrounds.
Now
there
was
an
email
that
I
did
receive
regarding
Edgewood
playground.
D
We
shouldn't
be
waiting
for
a
full
year
to
do
that,
and
forty
thousand
dollars
is
is
is
is
a
lot
of
money
but
I'm
sure
we
can
find
that
money
there,
but
before
we
even
go
there
I'd
like
to
find
out
how
that
was
actually
assessed,
how
did
we
determine
that?
It
was
actually
forty
thousand
dollars
and
what
is
our
assessment
on
our
all
our
parks
and
how
do
we
actually
start
prioritizing
and
figuring
out
to
bring
our
playgrounds
up
to
date
so
that
our
kids
can
actually
enjoy
it?
D
The
other
thing
is
the
playground
is
closed.
It
really
truly
breaks
my
heart
because
today
you
know,
there's
kids
coming
just
in
general,
kids
are
coming
out
of
school.
The
first
thing
they
do
is
they
go
right
to
the
playground,
not
much
Commercial
Street
right
away
or
Smith
Street
when
they
possibly
would
go
to
Smith
Street.
The
kids
didn't
even
live
on
that
street,
but
unfortunately
they
can
they're
those
conditions,
I,
don't
believe
Cameron's
not
sending
them
there
bringing
them
to
a
playground.
D
But
you
know:
I'm
I
was
a
parent
I
have
a
child
who
went
to
Edgewood,
Highland
and
I
know
my
child
right
after
he
got
out
of
school.
It
was
the
recess
time
it
was
their
social
time
and
I
made
sure
that
they
burnt
all
their
energy
to
know
that
the
playground
is
now
closed
and
for
how
long
I
don't
know
so.
I
have
a
lot
of
other
questions.
I
don't
want
this
to
be
event
session
on
my
end,
but
I
want
to
make
sure
that
the
administration
understands
and
hears
our
community.
D
D
It's
Friday
yep,
tomorrow,
late
in
the
afternoon,
I've
invited
the
school
committee
member
of
Ward
one
as
well
I've
copied
him
on
the
email,
so
he's
also
familiar.
One
thing
I
want
to
make
sure
is
that
we're
all
transparent
and
on
the
very
same
page,
and
so
thank
you
to
the
PTA
for
for
coming
this
evening.
D
What
to
the
administration
to
our
Park
and
Recs
director
director
to
zaglia?
What
can
we
do
to
start
off
in
at
least
start
the
assessment,
the
quest
analysis,
what
we
can
do
through
any
type
of
funding
that
we
possibly
have
to
start
bringing
our
playgrounds
up
to
what
I
would
say
code,
particularly
the
playground?
That
was
just
recently
closed.
If
we
have
to
start
there,
what
are
what?
What
are
our
plans
and
what?
What
do
we
intent
on
doing
or
what
are
your
potential
recommendations
and
suggestions
this
evening
on?
How
do
we?
D
How
do
we
start
this
other
than
just
grants,
because
grants
are
never
guaranteed,
so
we
could
be
having
a
contingency
plan.
What
can
we
actually
do
or
the
grants
would
be
our
contingency
plan
and
as
an
Administration
and
as
a
council?
We
should
have
this
conversation.
One
thing
that
I
will
add
before
I.
Ask
the
director
to
saglia
to
come
up.
D
Is
I've
also
reached
out
to
a
couple
of
private
funders
to
find
out
whether
or
not
they
would
be
able
to
come
with
me
and
give
our
playground
a
Do,
What
I
Call
windshield
tour
go
around
our
city
and
I've
already
have
at
least
one
per
who
said
we'll
give
it
a
look,
no
commitment,
but
it's
just
you
know
we.
We
have
a
lot
of
great
folks
coming
into
a
great
City
and
a
lot
of
them
actually
come
in
and
say
we're
all
about
Community
we're
all
about
helping
out.
D
Well,
let's
take
advantage
of
that.
Let's
make
sure
that
they
know
that
we
will
take
them
up
for
that
very
much.
So
as
council
president
Marino
has
said,
we
should
probably
you
know,
ask
a
couple
of
other
partners
for
other
potential
ways
to
fund
other
other
playgrounds
Recreation
space,
because
this
is
all
Recreation
space,
so
I
will
say
like
but
long
pool.
So
you
know
so
we're
within
the
agenda
very
same
thing.
So
I've
had
a
lot
of
folks.
Also
within
Patuxent
Village
area,
say
to
me.
We
would
like
to
help.
D
Let
us
know
how
we
can
help
and
there's
a
couple
of
non-profit
organizations
that
I've
reached
out
and
they
said
we're
here
to
help,
but
we
need
to
make
sure
that
we
work
with
the
administration.
So
direct
us
exactly
if
you
don't
mind,
just
providing
us
and
walking
us
through
your
comprehensive
list
and
the
assessment
and
I'll
start
off
with
Edgewood
Highland
on
how
we
came
across
that,
but
potential
forty
thousand
dollars
in
what
we
can
do
to
expedite
this
process.
N
We
did
get
up
some
objection
to
pick
up
all
courts
from
people
in
that
neighborhood
we're
trying
to
work
that
out,
but
it's
still
an
option
to
to
have
done
that
playground
as
far
and
Edge
would
go.
I
agree
with
you.
It
is
not
an
acceptable
playground.
It's
just
a
matter
we're
here
tonight
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
get
it
done.
Okay
and
I
know
it's
going
to
be
said.
Well,
we
knew
about
this
yeah.
We
knew
about
this,
but
it's
it's
my
job
with
your
help
to
get
it
done.
N
He
uses
a
ball
that
has
a
gauge
that
he
leaves
it
from
here
from
x,
amount
of
height
and
will
bounce
it.
He
comes
up
with
a
number
and
proves
that
that's
no
longer
acting
as
a
safe
ground
cover,
so
the
rubber
mulching,
the
rubber
matting,
is
hard
to
just
replace
unless
it's
new
and
something
is
damaged,
and
they
have
done
it
at
one
of
the
other
playgrounds.
N
Garden
City
had
a
few
open
marks
that
they,
they
they
they'll
cut
it
out,
and
they
tell
you
not
to
do
it
in
a
square
to
do
it
more
of
an
oval.
So
you
don't
have
any
right
angles,
but
the
whole
rubber
would
have
to
come
out
now
to
replace
rubber.
On
top
of
that,
that's
expensive
to
add
the
rubber
in,
if
you
replace,
if
you
pull
the
rubber
out
and
think
about
putting
mulch
in
there's
asphalt
there.
Who
knows
how
deep?
N
You
cannot
put
the
mulch
on
the
asphalt
so
to
remove
that
mulch
you'd
have
to
put
some
landfill
oil
and
then
asphalt.
That
would
probably
be
the
best
way
to
get
that
up
to
pop,
because
the
rubber,
the
rubber
matting
would
be
very
expensive
and,
if
I
remember
correctly,
maybe
to
the
tune
of
75
80
000
to
put
new
rubber
matting
in
a
playground.
D
I
N
I
N
It's
not
very
expensive,
also,
either
rubber
crumbles,
The
Mulch
seems
to
be
the
best
way
to
go,
but
it's
very
expensive
I
mean
it's
60,
something
dollars
a
yard
and
unfortunately
that
comes
right
from
my
line
items
I
I
put
in
for
a
special
mulch
line
item
last
year
I
mean
the
amount
of
mulch
we
give
out
I
try
to
let
give
everyone
a
little
bit,
but
we
could
put
more
in
every
playground.
I.
N
We
tried
to
do
it
before
the
school's
open
we
assess
in
the
summer
it
and
it's
something
that
we
didn't
hit
and
I.
We
spent
twenty
thousand
dollars
with
the
mulch.
We
hire
a
company
that
comes
in
and
blows
it
in
because
it
would
take
human
hands
and
wheelbarrows
and
and
pork
forklift,
a
fork
picks
ages
to
get
that
done.
N
D
E
N
N
D
N
M
M
To
this
point
of
funding,
it's
not
going
to
solve
all
of
our
problems,
but
it
is
something
that
we
definitely
need
to
take
advantage
of
is
that
the
state
is
having
applications
for
recreational
grants.
I've
spoken
to
the
grant
writer
about
this
I
attended
a
meeting
myself
held
by
the
state
on
the
13th,
an
informational
meeting.
The
deadline
is
December
6th.
From
what
I
understand
of
it
too,
we
could
possibly
qualify
for
more
than
one
park,
so
we
don't
have
to
just
submit
one.
M
The
awards
will
not
be
awarded
until
the
spring
of
2024,
but
that
is
something
that
would
be
an
absolute
waste
if
we
just
let
that
fly
by
without
attempting
on
a
go
forward
basis,
though
I
agree
with
Council.
Vice
president
Vargas,
there
should
be
a
more
proactive
effort
at
assessing
the
conditions
of
our
parks
and
making
improvements,
rather
than
waiting
until
they're
too
dangerous,
and
then
we
just
shut
them
down.
D
D
What
our
grant
writer
also
needs
is
the
square
footage,
at
least
particularly
with
the
playgrounds
that
we
prioritized
the
estimate
of
toys
very
similar
to
what
we
were
trying
to
do
over
a
friendly,
the
friendly
Community
and
getting
a
estimate
of
what
the
cost
analysis
is
going
to
be.
Are
there
light?
Are
there
going
to
be
benches?
Will
there
be
tables?
D
D
I
I've
said
that
before
I'll
say
that
again,
I
want
to
make
sure
that,
with
all
of
our
playgrounds
as
we
move
forward,
we
keep
kids
who
have
a
disability
and
and
mindful
of
the
toys
that
they
also
need
that
we
as
a
city
could
be
inclusive
on
that
end
and
I
think
I
might
have
mentioned
this
to
you
when
you're
looking
at
the
other
playground.
But
in
this
case
that's
all
the
information
that
are
going
grant.
Writer
at
least
needs
for
now.
The
list
of
prioritizing
is
extremely
important.
D
I
I
look
forward
for
to
having
a
very
thought
out
and
partnership
with
with
the
administration
yeah
we're
here
to
work
together,
but
we
also
need
to
make
sure
that,
as
as
the
administration,
we
should
be
doing
our
assessments,
not
just
in
September
but
really
figuring
out
where,
where
we
are
going
with
our
Parks
making
sure
they're
up
to
date,
Edgewood
Highland
is
closed.
Smith
Street's
playground
as
much
as
I
want
to
say,
keep
it
open.
D
I
think
that
one
should
probably
be
closed
only
because
of
the
actions
that
I
saw
there
today
and
also
the
fact
that
that,
if
you
saw
the
pictures
at
all
those
slides,
it's
it's
awful
I,
don't
even
know
what
kind
of
paint
that
is
on
there.
People
kids
can
get
scrape
going
down
that
slide,
and
so
that's
possibly
a
playground
that
you
may
want
to
set
so
we're
assessing
all
our
playgrounds,
a
Part
of
Me,
no
disrespect
but
I,
don't
think.
We've
assessed
this
mystery
playground.
The
way
it
should
have
really
been
assessed.
Well,.
D
It's
it's!
It's
not
even
bad.
It's
in
a
deteriorating
heartbreaking,
embarrassing
condition,
embarrassing
and
I
am
looking
forward
to
yes
working
with
the
administration
to
make
sure
we
get
these
playgrounds
accomplished.
I,
don't
know
if
we've
used
up
all
of
our
cdbg
funding
at
all
or
but
particularly
Capital
Improvement
I
do
want
to
say.
Yes,
there
are
American
Rescue
plan
money
out
there
and
I
will
say
that
we
still
have
a
few
left.
D
N
D
D
We
can
both
work
on
something
and
provide
our
community
and
our
stakeholders,
which
is
our
constituents
and
residents
where
we
are,
and
what
we're
going
to
do
with
with
our
playgrounds
and
the
Edgewood
playground
was
just
literally
just
closed.
Families
had
no
idea,
it
was
just
it
was
they
come
out
one
day
and
it
was
just
locked
up,
so
that
should
have
been
probably
communicated
a
bit
better
as
as
well
to
to
the
community.
Fine,
so
council,
member
Ferry.
F
Yes,
I
just
hope
that
going
forward
that
we're
not
going
to
build
any
more
Parks
until
we
can
take
care
of
the
parks
that
we
already
have
because
we
get
the
phone
calls
we
get.
The
emails
and
people
complain
all
the
time.
This
is
not
I'm
not
pointing
at
you.
I'm,
not
blaming
you
directly.
I
know
people
that
work
for
you
and
you
can't
even
buy
a
pencil
right
now
without
permission.
F
I
know
that,
but
the
bottom
line
is
we
shouldn't
be
building
new
parks
when
we
have
I
didn't
had
no
idea
that
that
Park
was
closed
when
we
can't
even
keep
care
of
the
pox
that
we
already
have
so
going
forward.
I
hope
that
the
administration
would
see
to
the
fact
that
we
need
to
fix
what
we
have
before
we
build
or
buy
anything
new.
Thank
you
very
much
good
point.
I
You
through
the
chair,
I
just
want
to
make
a
suggestion.
Take
it
or
leave
it
director
and
I
could
I'll
even
volunteer
my
time
to
help
you
do
it,
but
this
document
I
think
as
a
live
document
that
maybe
not
the
world
has
access
to,
but
we
have
access
to
either
through
Google
drive
or
Microsoft,
whatever
the
city
uses,
so
that
when
things
change
on
it
we
can
go
into
it
and
we
will.
I
We
will
see
that
and
if
there's
a
rubric
of
how
things
are
assessed,
whether
it's
a
one,
two
or
three
then
it'd
be
easy
for
people
to
understand
why
something's
getting
fixed
first.
If
there's
columns
with
the
last
date
it
was
assessed
who
assessed
it.
You
know
a
cost
estimate
if
a
grant
is
being
put
in
for
that
I
think
it'll
be
a
lot
easier
because
I
know
obviously
you're
one
person
I
know
that
people
were
you
know:
jobs
have
been
cut
throughout
the
city,
including
in
your
department.
I
It's
going
to
be
hard
I'm,
assuming
it's
hard
for
you
to
track
this,
and
when
it
comes
up
on
a
yearly
basis,
if
it
comes
up
once
a
year,
we
receive
this
you're
gonna
go,
do
all
of
it
once,
whereas
if
we
have
a
document,
that's
live
and
every
month,
when
someone
goes,
you
know
it
changes,
we
can
see
it
and
then
it
we
can
everyone's
held
accountable
that
way,
but
it
will
also
probably
be
easier
for
you
and
I
have
I'm
wondering.
If
is
there
anyone
who
specifically
in
charge
of
playgrounds
or
is
that.
N
We
have,
we
have
certain
guys,
do
certain
Specialties.
We
have
a
sprinkler
guy,
you
know,
Cutters,
we
have
dragon
line
the
one
kid
that
does
do
that
is
Young
Victor
he's
great
at
it.
He
takes
pride
in
it.
He's
got
children,
he
has
it
on
his
phone.
He
he
met
with
me.
Since
we
got
the
request
two
or
three
times
it
was
a
lot
for
him
to
to
calculate
all
of
it,
but
we
got
most
of
it
done
I
mean
ideally
and
I
don't
know.
N
If
we
want
to
hear
this
I
call
on
playground
inspector
when
I
am
confused.
I
want
to
know
the
real
answer
and
how
much
you
know
how
how
severe
is
it
and
what
we
need
to
do?
John,
I'm
sure,
you're,
familiar
with
his
name,
is
well
known
all
over
New
England.
However,
if
John
LaRue
was
to
come
in
and
check
every
playground,
I
I,
don't
know
I
mean
he
is
looking
at
every
tread
on
a
screw.
N
I
mean
it's
that
impeccable,
how
he
goes
through
things
and
I,
don't
know
if
you
know
if
it
is
all
neat
I,
don't
know
how
to
explain
it.
Sometimes
he's
going
to
give
us
the
right
answer,
but
it's
it's
a
lot
that
they
that
they
go
through
I
mean
to
a
point
where
a
screw
hanging
out
of
the
the
the
the
seam
of
the
swing,
if
it's
more
than
x
amount
of
threads
no
good
and
which
I
was
unaware
of
which
makes
sense
a
hood,
a
a
string.
N
N
But
you
know
the
kid
that
goes
around
for
me
or
another
gentleman
they're
looking
at
General
broken
equipment
and
what
we
can
replace
and
if
we
can't
replace
it.
We'll
call
Pro
built
we'll
call
big
toy,
we'll
call
compound
to
have
them
replace
that
pot
and
we
usually
put
them
in.
If
we
can.
Sometimes
it's
two
months
is
mounting
involved
the
cement
and
the
the
contractors
have
to
do
it.
D
N
D
N
D
C
Everyone
can
hear
me.
Okay,
thank
you,
chairwoman,
director,
I
would
just
say
you
know
next
year,
when
the
budget
comes
up
and
we're
we're
having
these
conversations
in
in
March,
April
and
May,
you
have
a
finance
committee.
Many
of
us
that
are
here
this
evening
and
I
know.
Councilwoman
renzuli
is
a
supporter
of
Parks
and
Recreation
as
well.
You'd
have
a
very
receptive
body
of
individuals
who
would
be
willing
to
support
these
kind
of
projects
with
money,
and
we
do
to
the
chairwoman
point.
N
D
Thank
you,
councilman
Donegan,
the
next
item
that
I
have
actually
director
this
I'm,
not
sure
if
this
goes
for
you-
or
this
will
go
to
our
interim
director,
it's
on
the
bike,
lane
delineators
flexible
post
and
Narragansett
Boulevard.
So
if
you
driven
down
box,
sorry,
not
box,
so
Narragansett
Boulevard
you'll
see
there's
a
bike
path
going
down,
particularly
all
the
way
down
to
like
still
house
code.
D
There's
some
concerns
there.
We
have
a
lot
of
Walkers
and
then
we
have
bike
path.
If
you
look
at
other
communities,
they
have
those
for
those
who
may
not
know
what
that
is,
or
anyone
ever
who
ends
up
watching
the
zoom
video.
It's
those
plastic,
flexible
posts
that
also
have
the
little
lights
so
at
night
time
or
in
the
daytime.
You
know
if
there's
a
car,
that's
driving
right
by
it.
It
hopefully
doesn't
go
into
the
lane
of
the
bike
path
or
folks
that
are
walking
for
safety
reasons.
D
L
D
D
L
That's
a
public
work
situation,
the
bike
delineators
the
little
the
flexible
post
you're
talking
about
yeah.
There
are
a
lot
of
separate
ways
to
where
there
are
a
lot
of
different
ways
to
separate
a
bike
lane
from
a
traveling.
The
flexible
delineators
are
personally
not
my
favorite,
because
they're
bolted
into
the
asphalt
which
creates
a
way
for
water
to
get
in
there
and
deteriorate
the
asphalt
pretty
quickly.
L
D
At
yeah,
the
green
paint,
the
red
paint
for
buses
and
everything
like
that
I've
seen
that
obviously
starting
to
spread
in
Rhode
Island.
Yes,
it
is
also
in
Massachusetts
the
concern
about
that.
It's
still
not
a
protect
a
little
bit
with
the
safety
net,
the
safety
net,
not
that
a
car
can't
drive
right
through
one
of
those
Flex
pods.
D
D
D
C
I
would
thank
you.
Chairman
I
was
just
going
to
mention
that
we're
fortunate
one
of
our
planners
in
the
city,
Greg
Guerin,
is
very
well
versed
in
cycling
and
multimodal
transportation,
and
he
so
he
just
sorry
Greg
if
I'm
adding
more
to
your
plate,
but
he
just
might
be
worth
someone
worth
talking
to
about
this
he's
great.
L
D
D
The
other
item
I'm
sorry
there
any
other
discussion
on
this
one
item.
I
know
it's
seven
past
seven
o'clock
for
anyone
ordinance
committee
meeting
will
be
starting
shortly
right
after
this
meeting
the
Rhode
Island
dot,
Municipal,
Road
and
Bridge
program
opportunities.
I
just
wanted
to
put
that
on
there
there's
some
grants
opportunities
there,
so
probably
with
this,
would
actually
go
as
well
to
you
as
interim
Public
Works
director,
to
get
a
census
too.
L
I
apologize,
I,
don't
think
I
heard.
Are
we
talking
about
the
D.O.T
Municipal
Roads
bridge
program
yeah,
so
we
will
be
applying
for
that.
That
will
be
primarily
road
paving
you
are
right,
the
the
bike
path
to
lineators
might
be
included
in
that,
and
that's
a
good
suggestion
since
our
last
meeting-
and
we
talked
about
this
I
did
have
a
meeting
with
the
D.O.T.
D
D
Phoebe.
Okay,
thank
you.
Are
there
any
questions
on
this
matter
where
I
go
back
to
the
rest
of
the
docket
on
public
works?
Thank
you,
sir.
Thank
you
to
you
and
thank
you
director,
Chicago
for
being
here
this
evening,
all
right.
That
being
said,
I'm
going
to
go
back
to
the
council,
Public
Works
committee
documented
item
under
committee.
Business
matters
carried
over
I
had
an
item
on
there.
D
We
kind
of
discuss
that,
but
I
will
continue
to
keep
the
Edgewood
playground
actually
I'm
just
to
the
clerk
instead
of
putting
Edgewood
Highland
Pele
ground
at
the
next
public
works
committee,
meeting
I'm
just
going
to
do
update
on
our
parks
and
playground
just
to
generalize
it,
and
if
we
can
also
add
that
to
our
September
25th
city
council
committee
meeting,
depending
on
how
that
conversation
goes
tomorrow
as
well
with
the
administration.
Just
what
I
we
can
provide
some
communication
to
to
folks
in
the
in
in
our
city.
D
I,
unfortunately,
do
have
to
head
out
to
my
son's
parent
teacher
conference
that
I'm
extremely
late
for
but
I
am
going
by
I
believe
we
have
to
take
a
motion,
a
vote
to
hand
the
gavel
over
to
our
majority
leader
to
finish
up
the
Public
Works
committee
meeting
and
I
will
not
be
here
for
the
ordinance
committee
meeting.
Assuming
that
my
meeting
at
the
parent
teacher
takes
a
little
longer.

Just
because,
over
over
the
years,
I've
heard
a
lot
about
you
know,
some
people
complain
about
a
traffic
signal
and
perhaps
at
Wayland
And
Atwood
Avenue.
There's
a
lot
of
accidents
there
and
I.
Just
didn't
I'm,
not
saying
that's
the
right
fit.
I
am
not
a
traffic
engineer
I.
Just
since
this
is
the
subject.
I
wanted
to
know
what
the
plan
was,
because
I
do
get
frequent
questions
about
that
intersection.
B
I
Thank
you,
I'm.
Sorry,
director,
before
you
sit
back
down,
are
we
making
sure
that,
when
this
gets
done,
I'm
really
glad
that
dot
will
pay
for
it,
but
then
that
the
utility
companies
are
not
going
to
tear
it
up
for
something
like
four
weeks
later
and
then
we're
back
in
a
bad
situation?
Is
that
something
that
we
are
doing
proactively.
L
I
Could
is
it
possible
that
I
don't
know
if
someone
could
double
who
holds
the
state
accountable?
Because
if
the
state
doesn't
do
it
and
I
don't
want
to
say
the
state
won't
do
it,
then
we
are
it's
still
residents
of
Cranston
that
end
up
most
inconvenienced
by
the
situation
and
I
know
we
have
a
lot
of
state
roads
in
the
city,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
when
our
constituents
call
they
don't
care.
I
C
E
C
C
C
H
H
C
H
Let
me
okay,
so
I
believe
this
should
be
a
traffic
study.
I
think
that
that
is
a
requirement.
In
addition,
I
don't
know
the
answer
to
this,
because
this
would
need
to
come
from
either
public
works
or
perhaps
even
the
traffic
engineer,
I,
don't
know
what
the
nature
of
this
this
act
of
this
pedestrian
activated
signal
is
like,
for
instance,
I'm
assuming
there
is
a
cost
associated
with
this
I.
Don't
know
if
a
fiscal
note
has
been
obtained.
I
think
I
find
it
hard
to
believe
that
this
would
not
cost
anything.
C
F
C
The
the
only
other
thing
I'll
say
is
just
on
the
merits
of
this:
it.
There
have
been
numerous
pedestrian,
related
incidents
and
other
vehicular
incidents
on
direv
for
years,
instant
and
before
and
since
I've
been
representing
ward
3.
This
is
the
area
that
is
proposed
is
a
serves
as
a
crosswalk
for
school.
It
is
directly
outside
of
a
large
Housing
Development
Riverbend.
C
This
help
will
help
residents
access
both
sides
of
Dyer
Avenue
with
more
more
safely
and
the
in
terms
of
what
it
actually
is.
It's
essentially
the
same
thing
that
they
have
outside
of
Devon
Manor
on
Cranston
Street.
You
you
go
up
to
the
crosswalk,
you
press
a
button,
the
little
green
guy
walking
up
here
or
green
thing,
white
person,
yeah,
sorry
and
you
get
to
walk
safely.
K
L
C
L
Okay,
not
sure
a
traffic
engineering
department
has
the
expertise
to
do
a
warrant
analysis
in-house
I
know.
Often
the
traffic
engineer
gives
his
opinion
on
the
proposed
installation.
Adding
a
traffic
signal
would
require
a
warrant
analysis
which
basically
is
a
traffic
study
of
that
area
and
that
intersection
there
isn't
expense
with
that.
So
that's
why
I'm
not
sure.
I
M
I
might
suggest
to
the
chair
to
the
interim
director,
where
required,
to
have
the
traffic
study
for
the
ordinance,
so
the
ordinances
is
being
proposed,
so
I
would
suggest
you
check
with
the
traffic
engineer
and
see
if
he
can
do
a
traffic
study.
If
then,
it
passes,
if
then
there's
an
exorbitant
expense
with
the
more
intricate
study
that's
required,
then
you
incur
that
that
additional
expense
and
then
as
part
of
this
as
relayed
by
solicitor
verdeckia
this
evening.
Part
of
the
approval
of
this
ordinance
going
forward
also
requires
the
fiscal
impact
study.
M
So
if,
in
fact,
there
is
an
additional
fee
to
be
incurred
with
that
additional
study,
then
that
would
be
incorporated
in
the
fiscal
impact
note
from
the
finance
department.
So
when
we
have
a
month,
so
that's
I
think
should
be
able
to
be
short
up
in
that
time.
So
we're
not
continuing
this
over
and
over
again
I
think
that
that
could
be
accomplished
right.
Yeah,
okay
sounds
good
thanks.
I
Sorry,
but
would
it
also
be
prudent
to
find
out
from
the
with
the
fiscal
note
what,
where
they're
taking
this
from
the
money
for
this
and
how
much
is
left
in
that
line?
So
it's
not
like
this
cost
x
amount
of
money,
and
it
sounds
like
a
lot
of
money
to
us,
but
we
have
a
lot
of
money
in
that
line
and
that's
what
it's
supposed
to
be
used
for,
or
it
costs
x
amount
of
money
we
have
virtually.
I
This
is
the
only
one
you're
going
to
be
able
to
do
this
year
so
pick
wisely,
I,
don't
know
if
that's
something
we
might
have
to
just
email
directors,
I
tell
us
about,
but
just
some
putting
that
out
there
so
that
it's
relevant
the
amount
of
money
is
not
we're
not
just
looking
at
it
in
a
bubble.
Thank.
C
E
B
C
E
C
I
E
M
C
Do
I
count
twice
no
at
this
time.
Thank
you
for
your
your
your
trust
and
vote
of
confidence
before
us.
We
had
the
approval
of
the
minutes
of
the
August
17th
meeting
at
this
entertain
a
motion
so
moved.
Second,
that
motion
was
to
approve
councilman.
Yes,
any
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
aye,.
C
Are
there
we
have
business
matters
carried
over?
We
have
ordinance
2-2-3-04,
ordinance
and
amendment
of
chapter
15
of
the
code,
buildings
and
construction
LED
save
homes.
This
is
co,
sponsored
by
myself,
co-sponsored
by
councilwoman
Jermain
I'll
entertain
a
motion
to
continue
so
move
second,
for
an
update
was
able
to
have
a
thorough
discussion
with
our
city
council
attorney
today
regarding
the
impact
of
State
legislation
past
this
most
recent
session
on
this
pending
ordinance
before
us.
C
Based
on
that
conversation,
it
does
appear
that
we
are
that
this
ordinance
would
be
appropriate
for
us
to
move
forward.
With
with
that
said,
there
were
comments
that
were
previously
made
that
need
to
be
incorporated
into
this
this
proposal,
and
so
those
changes
will
be
ready
for
next
month.
Councilwoman
Rizzoli.

At
this
time,
we'll
close
public
comment:
we
have
new
matters
before
the
committee
this
evening,
8-23-02
ordinance
and
amendment
of
title
10,
chapter
1032,
the
city
of
Cranston
code
of
ordinances
in
2005,
entitled
stopping
standing
and
parking
on
specific
streets.
This
is
sponsored
by
councilman
campiano.
This
time,
we'll
entertain
a
motion.
M
O
You
darling,
this
is
something
that's
been
brought
to
my
attention
for
about
over
a
year
now
the
residents
on
Century
Lane
very
concerned,
because
it's
a
blind
corner
and
it's
a
pretty
dangerous
intersection
to
get
out
on
Oneonta
Road.
It's
only
on
one
direction,
we're
looking
for
and
our
council
president.
It's
also
been
out
there
to
talk
with
those
neighbors
and
we've
got
multiple
meetings
with
them,
but
I'm
going
to
ask
to
have
it
continued
pending
a
traffic
study.
