I
know
I've
been
up
talking
to
you
about
the
budget
lately,
and
this
is
kind
of
the
end
of
the
whole
process.
The
budget
kind
of
starts
off
the
process
and
the
audit
kind
of
finishes
it
up.
So
we
are
currently
looking
at
the
fiscal
year,
22
and
I'm
not
going
to
take
too
much
of
your
time.
I'm
actually
going
to
hand
it
off
to
RSM
to
to
communicate
what
they
found
with
our
audit,
and
you
can
ask
questions
as
they
come
up
or
at
the
end,
thanks.
C
So
this
first
slide
here
just
walks
through
some
things:
we're
required
to
communicate
to
you
at
the
end
of
the
audit.
The
report
that
we
issue
the
the
main
purpose
is
to
express
an
opinion
on
the
financial
statements
and
whether
they're
in
Conformity,
with
generally
accepted
accounting
principles.
We
did
Issue
an
unmodified
or
a
clean
opinion
on
the
financial
statements
that
so
that
is
the
highest
level
of
assurance
that
you
can
receive
as
a
part
of
an
external
audit.
C
There
was
one
new
accounting
standard
that
was
adopted
this
year
by
by
the
city,
Gatsby
87,
which
is
the
new
lease
standard,
basically
moving
all
leases,
whether
you're
the
lessor
or
the
lessee
onto
your
balance
sheet
and
adding
additional
disclosures
about
those
leases.
So
that
is
something
new
you'll
see
the
city
did
a
great
job.
Implementing
implementing
that
new
standard.
So
you'll
see
that
change.
C
We
did
not
make
any
audit
adjustments,
so
so
the
information
that
was
provided
to
RSM
at
the
beginning
of
the
audit
for
the
financial
statements
were
not
adjusted
in
any
way.
No
disagreements
with
management
had
full
cooperation
with
everyone.
We
worked
with
at
the
city
accessed
all
of
the
information
we
needed
to.
No,
so
no
disagreements
or
difficulties
performing
the
audit.
All
of
those
would
have
been
communicated
to
you
in
writing
as
a
part
of
our
audit,
so
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Robert
just
to
talk
through
some
of
the
financial
results.
D
Thanks
Kevin
I
want
to
pause,
really
quick,
just
to
also
thank
Nick
and
James
and
Tim
and
their
team
throughout
the
entire
process
of
the
audit.
They
do
a
great
job,
they're
great
to
work
with,
and
they
make
the
audit
go
smooth
and
timely
and
we
really
appreciate
all
their
hard
work
throughout
the
process.
D
First
slide
here
is
just
revenue
for
all
the
governmental
funds
overall
Revenue
increased
about
25
million
or
6.4
percent,
a
majority
of
that
really
being
taxes,
and
the
majority
of
the
tax
increase
this
year
was
was
really
the
local
option.
Sales
tax,
an
alert
a
large
portion
of
that
is
really
due
to
the
modified
accrual
accounting
and
related
to
the
period
of
availability
of
when
dollars
were
received
related
to
a
an
accrual
last
year.
D
That
then
was
pushed
through
as
as
Revenue
this
year
as
it
was
received
after
the
period
of
availability,
and
then
there
was
an
offset
to
that
of
intergovernmental
Revenue.
That
was
really
the
result
of
last
year,
the
of
the
22
million
dollars
of
the
the
airport
that
pay
off
that
that
flows
through
there
was
offsetting
that
increase
in
the
taxes
which
resulted
in
that
overall
25
increase
expenditures
by
the
governmental
funds
decrease
43
million
or
8.4
percent.
D
A
big
portion
of
that
being
Capital
outlay,
which
decreased
34
million,
which
is
about
26,
really
capital
outlay,
is
really
based
on
Project
by
you
know,
projects
year
to
year,
just
how
many
projects
are
going
on
in
that
year.
There's
not
really
one
specific
thing
that
we
could
identify
related
to
that
decrease.
Also
Debt
Service
decreased
about
30
million
or
24.1
percent.
Again
that
was
again
in
the
in
the
prior
year.
D
A
general
fund
balance
unrestricted
in
days
did
go
down
five
days.
It's
at
102
days,
the
gfoa
kind
of
expected,
or
what
they
say
you
should
have
is
between
30
and
60
days
is
kind
of
what
they
throw
out
there.
But
it's
obviously
just
a
point
in
time.
This
is
as
of
6
30
22.
What
was
available
in
the
general
fund
and
restricted
compared
to
the
expenditures
out
there
still
in
a
very
strong
position
and
then
from
the
Enterprise
funds.
D
Overall
increase
was
2.1
million
or
7.2
percent
majority
of
that
increase
was
parking
as
well
as
storm
water
parking
is
getting
back
not
not
yet
to
but
closer
to
kind
of
those
three
coveted
times
of
parking.
Last
year
there
was
a
huge
decrease
just
due
to
less
people
being
in
areas
where
there's
parking,
storm
water
increased
about
2.7
million
or
17
percent.
E
C
So,
as
I
mentioned
as
a
part
of
our
audit,
we
also
perform
a
single
audit,
which
is
the
audit
of
the
Federal
grant
programs
of
the
city.
In
addition
to
that,
we
issue
an
opinion
or
not
an
opinion,
but
we
issue
a
report
over
internal
controls
over
financial
reporting.
We
don't
give
an
opinion,
but
we
do
inform
you
of
any
significant
deficiencies,
material
weaknesses
that
might
exist
as
it
relates
to
financial
reporting.
C
So
from
that
perspective
there
there
were
two
findings.
Last
year
that
were
reported
as
as
a
part
of
that
report,
one
was
corrected
and
one
was
repeated,
so
you'll
see
a
repeat
finding
a
material
weakness
over
internal
controls
as
it
related
to
Community
Development
Fund,
the
sub
Ledger
that
they
use
for
certain
transactions
was
not
being
reconciled
timely
to
the
city's
general
ledger,
which
is
causing
some
differences.
C
So
that
was
not
fully
corrected,
so
you'll
see
that
finding
repeated
from
the
prior
year,
but
nothing
new
outside
of
that
one
to
report
as
it
relates
to
financial
statements
and
then
for
our
single
audit,
which
is
the
audit
over
the
Federal
grant
programs.
We
tested
four
major
programs
this
year,
they're
all
they're
all
listed
on
this
slide
accounted
for
about
50
percent
of
total
federal
expenditures
of
the
city.
C
We
were
the
home
investment
partnership
program,
you'll
see
one
compliance
finding
reported,
and
that
was
due
to
some
some
inspections
that
weren't
being
performed
timely.
There
are
certain
inspections
that
were
required
under
the
program
every
three
years
and
there
were
certain
ones,
instances
that
we
were
testing
that
there
weren't
there
wasn't
evidence
that
those
inspections
were
being
performed,
Timely
and
then
you'll
also
see
a
finding
in
there
over
the
the
21.027
grant.
C
The
the
arpa
funds
and
the
finding
that
you'll
see
there
was
was
really
an
error
that
was
that
was
made
in
the
reporting
to
the
state
and
then
the
reporting
on
the
Siva,
the
city
had
had
designated
and
appropriated
certain
Arbor
projects
before
the
end
of
the
year
transferred
that
money
out
to
other
funds
to
be
spent
on
those
projects.
But
those
funds
aren't
supposed
to
be
recorded
on
those
quarterly
reports
and
unless,
if
until
they're
expended.
So
it's
not
that
this,
the
the
the
the
funds
were
being
spent
on
things.
C
They
weren't
supposed
to
be.
It
was
really
a
timing
issue
of
when
the
city
reported
those
to
the
Department
of
Treasury
and
on
their
schedule
of
federal
Awards,
so
which
won't
show
up
until
you
spend
those
funds,
and
the
city
was
putting
them
on
those
reports.
When
that
money
was
transferred
over
the
funds
in
which
they
would
be
spent.
So
you'll
see
those
funds,
so
everything
was
corrected.
The
FIFA
was
corrected.
F
C
The
issue
200
throughout
the
door
of
the
city,
okay,
so
internally
they
were
transferred
to
where
they
the
fund
in
which
they
were
going
to
be
spent,
but
hadn't
actually
God
loves
the
city
so
again
want
to
reiterate
it
wasn't
an
issue
of
inappropriate
spending
or
anything
like
that
or
question
cost.
It
was
really
just
a
timing
issue
and
on
when
those
funds
should
have
been
reported,
but
you'll
see
in
the
compliance
report,
there's
a
section
that
has
a
corrective
action
plan.
A
G
G
So
if
we
left
it
at
just
a
complaint
and
inspection
with
a
notice,
it
would
be
staff
time
involving
forestry
and
administrative
staff
to
make
those
notices.
The
value
you
may
recall
from
our
conversation
before
is
that
the
property
owners
then
can
figure
out
for
themselves
how
to
mitigate
the
issue
potentially
sharing
in
those
costs.
You
can
imagine,
there's
all
kinds
of
opportunities
at
that
point
submit
to
Insurance
things
of
that
nature
and
so
I
think
I
had
had
obviously
conversations
with
council
member
westergard
in
that
regard,
but
so.
E
H
H
I
C
J
J
The
property
owner
has
had
to
file
three
claims
against
their
insurance
company
for
on
her
own
insurance,
because
the
tree
continues
to
fall
and
damage
property,
I
even
called
the
landlord
and
the
landlord
said
too
bad.
That
tree
can
fall
ten
times
on
that
neighbor's
yard
and
I
don't
care,
because
if
it
falls
on
her
land,
it's
her
job,
which
I
think
is
really
a
bad.
That's
a
bad
answer.
I
G
H
J
G
G
It's
it's
an
all
or
nothing
proposition.
We
either
need
to
to
say
we're
going
to
inspect
looking
for
that
issue
or
we're
not,
and
so,
if
you
want,
we
could
go
back.
You
know.
Let
me
finish
with
what
this
cost
us.
We
were
adding
a
Forester
anyway,
that
was
going
to
have
an
quite
a
bit
of
administrative
requirements
in
their
job
duties.
A
G
G
K
What's
what's
Des
Moines
I
did
a
brief
case
study
on
that
and
extrapolated
it
out
from
the
population,
and
it
would
roughly
be
I
mean
it's
a
forecast.
So
you
know
it's
not
going
to
be
100
accurate
for
sure,
but
five,
six
hundred
potentially
requests
going
off.
West
Des
Moines
gets
each
each
year
from
requests
to
come
and
look
at
a
bad
tree
at
a
property.
So.
K
E
G
J
I
would
just
like
to
see
us
do
something
with
tie
it
up
with
the
rental
certificate.
I
mean
when
that
landlord
said
to
me:
I'm
not
doing
anything
about
it
and
step
back
I'll
make
your
job
so
difficult.
You'll
be
sorry.
You
called
me
I,
think
I
think
that's
a
concern
and
the
neighbors
who
live
around
that
rental
house
are
closer,
but.
J
I
mean
even
if
it
I
mean
this
neighbor
can
call
the
city.
The
city
can
verify
that
the
tree
what's
left
of
its
dead,
at
least
she
has
that
to
give
to
her
insurance
company.
You
know
when
the
tree
finally
falls
down
completely.
She
can,
hopefully
her
insurance
company
will
subrogate
against
the
property
owners
insurance.
H
I
mean,
as
far
as
the
rental
goes,
I
mean
if
it's
like,
if
the
tree
is
dead
and
there's
a
possibility
of
it
falling
on
someone's
home
or
car,
or
something
like
that,
I
think
there
should
be
an
action.
I
mean
if
it's
way
out
in
their
backyard
and
it's
not.
If
it
falls
it's
you
know
not
going
to
damage.
L
H
Other
property
I
would
say
that
that
that's
not
the
issue
that
is
probably
the
most
concerning,
but
if
it
can
damage
anyone
else's
property,
including
their
own
I,
mean
don't
you
think
we
should
ask
them
to
remove
it
as
part
of
their
rental
certificate.
Is
that
I
mean
not
us
removing
it,
but
having
them?
Do
it
part
of
their
rental
certificate?
E
G
G
Question
is
whether
that
would
have
occurred,
even
if
it
was
a
healthy
tree
right.
So
there's
going
to
be
legal
arguments
on
all
sides
and
any
inspection
that
requires
us
to
locate
and
inspect
on
dead
trees,
even
in
the
backyard,
would
have
to
be
an
analysis
of
where
it
would
fall
and
under
what
degree
of
wind
cheer
and
it
becomes,
it
will
become
a
difficult
task.
I
don't
want
to
underestimate.
F
That
right,
but
they're,
simplifying
assumptions
right
I
mean
you
could
say
if
a
tree
is
within
25
feet
of
a
neighboring
structure
or
I
mean
some
such
thing.
That
would
accomplish
what
would
I
think
we're
trying
to
accomplish,
and
there
are
dead
trees
that
fall
with
I
mean
when
a
tree
is
dead.
It
can
just
fall
at
any
time.
It's
not
a
storm.
F
F
One
I
mean
I'm
concerned
of
it.
If
it's
going
to
hurt
the
property
where
the
rental
is,
and
quite
honestly,
that's
probably
our
hook
too,
because
any
rental
property
owner
has
to
provide
a
safe
and
habitable
space
to
live
and
that's
what
we
can
regulate
and
if
they
have
a
dead
tree
that
could
seriously
injure
the
inhabitants
there
I
and
the
inhabitants
around
it
I
think
we
have
the
authority
to
regulate
it.
J
G
L
So
today,
we've
got
here
our
consultant
tool:
Design
Group,
led
by
Sarah
Abel
who's,
going
to
discuss
the
draft
action
plan
that
has
been
developed
so
far.
This
is
a
second
revision
and
we're
looking
for
feedback
from
you
all
with
regards
to
the
draft
and
then
we'll
be
discussing
the
usdot,
safe
streets
and
roads
for
all
implementation
grant.
L
That
was
recently
published
and
has
a
due
date
of
July
10th
of
this
year
for
this
first
for
this,
this
cycle
and
we're
we'll
be
looking
for
feedback
and
Direction
on
proposed
projects
that
we
would
like
to
submit
for
the
Grant
application.
So
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
Sarah
who
will
take
the
first
part
foreign.
M
M
Many
of
you
all
have
been
involved
in
the
engagement.
We've
been
working
with
division,
zero
working
group
throughout
the
last
year,
and
we
presented
a
first
draft
plan
to
the
transportation,
Safety
Committee
and
the
vision,
zero
working
group,
and
now
we
are
presenting
a
second
draft
plan
to
you
all,
as
well
as
the
public,
while
I
am
here
this
week
through
May
4th
in
order
to
genuinely
get
feedback
to
revise
the
Plan
before
we
come
back
to
you
all
with
a
final
plan.
M
M
So
with
that
I'll
go
through
the
process
of
how
we
got
to
this
plan
and
some
of
the
key
things
in
the
plan,
but
I
believe
you
all
already
have
a
copy
of
the
full
plan.
So
this
presentation
will
be
a
very
high
level
of
what's
in
in
the
plan,
so
we
did
thorough
engagement
through
multiple
formats
and
I'll
highlight
a
summary
of
that
public
engagement.
We
also
did
a
crash
analysis.
M
We
mapped
the
crashes
in
a
variety
of
ways
and
we
also
looked
at
statistical
crash
factors
that
are
leading
to
crashes
here
in
Des
Moines.
We
especially
looked
at
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes,
because
that
is
the
focus
of
vision.
Zero
is
to
eliminate
those
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes
across
the
city
based
on
numerous
discussions.
Reviews,
including
our
discussion
last
June,
about
what
your
target
year
should
be
or
could
be.
M
M
But
really
this
goal
year
is
all
of
the
resources
projects
actions
being
put
enough
into
place
to
where
you
could
reasonably
achieve
that
goal
of
zero
deaths,
because
we
realize
we
have
to
change
the
way
in
which
we're
doing
business
and
designing
roads
and
establishing
programs
and
in
order
to
actually
realize
that
goal.
So
just
want
to
flag
that
we'll
talk
about
that
a
little
bit
more,
we
tried
to
make
all
the
focuses
actions
and
steps
as
specific
and
measurable
as
possible
in
this
plan.
M
So
that
it's
integrated,
it's
not
just
about
signature
Vision,
zero
projects,
maybe
one
or
two
a
year-
it's
about
how
do
you
embed
Vision
zero
into
every
decision
that
you're
making
in
the
city
and
I
should
say
for
the
purposes
of
this
presentation?
I'll
pause
in
a
few
places
to
get
feedback
so
feel
free
to
give
us
feedback
along
the
way.
M
So
the
public
engagement.
We
did
a
series
of
four
workshops
well,
technically,
five,
because
when
I
was
here
last
June
we
did
an
introductory
workshop
with
the
community,
but
we
did
a
series
of
four
workshops
across
the
city
where
we
had
stations
set
up
for
people
to
give
us
feedback
in
whatever
way
they
felt
comfortable.
We
did
the
same
level
of
Engagement
activities
online
and
one
of
the
most
fruitful
results
of
the
public
engagement
was
this
public
input
web
map?
M
We
asked
people
to
indicate
where
they
felt
safe,
where
they
felt
unsafe
and
where
they
had
a
project
idea
across
the
city
and
the
map
to
the
right
here
are
the
icons
where
people
locate
located
a
thumbs
up
where
they
felt
safe,
a
thumbs
down
where
they
felt
unsafe
or
a
light
bulb
for
a
project
idea,
and
we
compared
this
to
the
historical
crash
analysis
right.
This
is
a
sense
of
feeling.
People
may
not
walk
on
a
street
because
there's
no
sidewalk.
M
We
won't
necessarily
capture
that,
from
a
historical
crash
analysis
we're
trying
to
capture
the
places
where
crashes
had
not
occurred
yet
and
where
people
don't
feel
comfortable,
walking,
biking
and
so
forth
and
so
on.
In
this
map,
and
this
map
is
really
rich
with
information,
the
majority
of
people
that
placed
an
icon
gave
us
very
specific
comments
about
why
they
felt
safer
unsafe
there.
M
M
We
came
up
with
your
high
Injury
Network,
which
is
basically
where
crashes
crash
severity
is
highest
and
where
crashes
happen
most
often
so
that
those
are
the
black
lines
you
see
on
the
map
here.
Most
of
them
are
arterials
that
bisect
the
entire
city.
That
was
the
major
Trend
that
we
saw
in
mapping
the
crashes.
We
compared
that
to
the
Des
Moines
Area
mpos,
seven
degrees
of
disadvantage
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
greater
disadvantages
happen
in
cities
generally,
and
that
is
the
case
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines.
M
You
have
greater
degrees
of
disadvantage
in
certain
areas
of
your
city
than
in
the
greater
Des
Moines
region.
There
was
not
a
clear
Trend
in
comparing
these
Equity
overlays
to
the
high
Injury
Network.
As
you
can
see,
many
of
those
arterials
that
are
on
the
high
Injury
Network
are
either
cutting
through
the
greater
degrees
of
disadvantaged
areas
or
on
the
border
of
those
areas.
M
So
in
the
descriptive
crash
analysis,
as
we
call
it,
we
compare,
we
looked
at
factors
in
the
crash
that
are
recorded
on
a
police
crash
report
form,
and
one
of
the
trends
we
saw
is
the
majority
of
crashes.
All
crashes
are
cars,
car
versus
car,
vehicle
versus
vehicle
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines,
a
small
percentage
of
total
crashes
are
bikes,
Peds
and
motorcycles.
However,
when
you're
looking
at
people
that
are
killed
or
seriously
injured,
the
share
of
those
crashes
are
mostly
pedestrian,
spicycles
and
bicyclists
and
motorcyclists.
M
M
M
That
includes
looking
at
speed
limits
as
well
as
people
speeding.
We
obviously
saw
that
a
high
degree
of
killed
and
seriously
injured
crashes
involve
speeding,
promote
safety,
culture
and
safe
Street
behaviors
with
the
entire
community
and
then
improve
data
and
transparency.
Explain
more
of
why
we're
doing
this?
How
we're
doing
this?
What's
working
and
what's
not
I
want
to
like
I,
want
to
note
that
Vision
zero
programs
are
more
well
received
once
they're
established.
F
So
I
want
to
maybe
stop
at
the
high
level
yeah,
because
because
this
one
sort
of
struck
me
as
I
promote
safe
speeds,
I
mean
people
aren't
supposed
to
speed.
Now,
like
we
tell
them
not
to
speed
the
issue
is
that
people
go
faster
than
they
are
supposed
to
I
mean
so
this
one
sort
of
like
it.
It
just
struck
me
from
a
framing
perspective.
F
I
mean,
is
pretty
meaningless
to
just
say,
promote
safe
speeds
and
and
particularly
when
I,
coupled
with
what
we've
seen
from
other
Vision
zero
plans
like
that
that
high
level
piece
just
I
mean
it
jumps
out
is,
is
not
I.
Guess
that's
feedback
as
much
as
question,
but
why
is
it
promote
safe
speeds,
rather
than
take
changes
to
ensure
safe
speed,
whether
that
be
enforcement
Road
designs,
the
whole
series
of
things
like
telling
people
don't
speed
I
mean
that
that's
sort
of
the
status
quo.
F
Mean
candidly
like
that
would
be
helpful
throughout
this
okay.
I
mean
I,
really
struggled
when
I
read
it
in
terms
of
understanding
what
our
roadmap
was
from
an
actionable
perspective
like
it,
a
lot
of
the
actionable
stuff
was
processed.
That
I
thought
this,
like
quite
honestly,
I
was
expecting
this
to
address
more
of
those
process
pieces
and
that
the
next
step
was
going
to
be
the
action
piece.
Okay,.
F
M
Yeah
I
mean
so
promote
safe
speed
is
a
common
Focus,
because
the
the
focus
is
our
big
picture.
Aspirational
areas
in
which
you
should
focus
maybe
promote,
is
not
the
right
word
and
we
can
look
at
these
being
more
enhanced
to
be
specific,
but
we
have
like
a
plan
we
just
did
in
Tacoma
was
Safe
Streets
for
all
and
just
safe
speeds
like
a
number
of
the
plans
we
do
will
take
like
General
elements
or
focuses
so
some
don't
even
have
that
actionable
word
in
front
of
it.
M
Like
we've,
we've
had
plans
that
we've
done
before
that
just
say:
equity
and
then
there's
actions
under
Equity.
So
we
can
make
these
more
of
like
full
sentences
that
are
more
specific
for
this
plan.
We
see
a
variety
in
the
plans
that
we
do
because
they're
Guided
by
what
we
heard
from
the
community,
so
we
see
some
that
are
more
General
and
some
that
are
more
specific.
So.
M
M
I
M
Yeah
or
the
speeding
there's
a
zero
tolerance
policy
for
speeding
in
the
city
of
Des,
Moines
I
think
that's
something
you
would
have
to
establish
as
a
policy
to
then
roll
out
I
mean
speeding
in
general
in
the
United
States.
There
seems
to
be
this
acceptable
allowance
of
speeding
where,
before
you
get
a
ticket,
so
a
lot
of
people
drive
by
miles
over
the
posted
speed
limit
because
they
know
they're
not
going
to
get
pulled
over
until
that
point.
M
So
there's
a
discussion
should
we
be
setting
speeds
lower
than
what
we
think
people
should
actually
be
driving
because
people
speed
slightly
over
because
there's
this
like
what
I
call
an
allowable
threshold
between
where
you
should
be
driving
and
before
you
will
get
pulled
over
by
an
officer
or
get
an
automated
speed
enforcement
to
get
those
thresholds
are
actually
greater.
Most
states
have
12
miles
per
hour
before
you
get
a
camera
ticket,
so.
H
M
M
That
is
something
that
we've
done
in
other
communities
coming
out
of
a
vision,
zero
action
plan
like
we're
currently
doing
that
in
Tacoma
Washington
coming
out
of
their
Vision
zero
action
plan,
but
it
was
not
something
we
were
specifically
scoped
to
do
for
this.
This
first
initial
project,
so
I
think
the
next
step
for
speeding
would
be
to
look
at
establishing
a
speed,
Management
program
and
looking
into
something
like.
M
N
M
N
M
N
H
J
M
The
presentation
with
that
particular
Focus
area,
so
maybe
we
can
go
through
these
one
by
one
and
then
we
can
stop
when
we
get
to
that
one,
because
I
was
getting
ready
to
say,
there's
kind
of
three
tiers
of
the
actions
themselves,
there's
the
focuses,
which
tend
to
be
big
picture,
buckets
that
are
aspirational
where
you
should
look
at
dedicating
resources,
as
we
saw
as
a
major
like
a
broad
area
in
which
you
should
focus.
Hence
Focus
area.
Then
under
those
are
actions
that
are
specific
things.
M
M
H
So
and
I
guess
this
is
a
question
more
for
Steve
and
Scott.
So
when
we
do
our
CIP
projects
we're
looking
at
best
practices
of
safety
when
we
reconstruct
these
streets
correct
already,
we
do
that
right.
Okay,
all
right,
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
we
were
doing
that
as
we're
as
we're
doing
our
CIP
projects
right
we're.
Looking
at
Best
Practices
that
our
our
city,
engineer
and
traffic
I
mean
we
have.
We
have
multiple
people
in
that
are
looking
at
these
projects
that
we
would
be
looking
at
saying.
F
Well,
I'm
glad
you
raised
Fuller
Drive,
because
there
were
specific
recommendations
from
a
safety
perspective
that
we
ignored
on
Fleur
Drive
I
mean
that
was
Lane
with
that
our
Engineers
recommended
a
lane
with
that
we
then
ignored
and
I
think
it's
important
to
have
a
road
map
like
Vision
zero,
specifically
call
out
pieces
like
that.
So
we
know
from
a
safety
perspective.
I
mean
move
DSM
had
some
of
that,
but
we
ignored
the
safety
piece
on
fluid
drive.
We.
H
F
I
I've
got
a
question
on
the
collaboration,
piece,
yeah
and
and
I
know.
Some
of
this
is
is
tricky,
but
there
are
multiple
pieces
that
are
ongoing
right
now,
for
example,
that
I
I
guess
I
would
have
hoped
to
see
a
little
bit
reflected
in
in
this
plan
from
a
collaboration
perspective,
I,
know,
separately,
we're
working
on
a
climate
action
plan
and
a
big
piece
of
that
is
transportation
and
how
transportation
integrates
and
making
sure
that
we're
we're
creating
a
system
that
facilitates
more
walking
more
biking,
more
Transit.
F
The
safety
side
of
that
is
also
incredibly
important
and
I.
Guess
that
that
piece
and
the
facilitation
of
of
actually
getting
people
to
to
walk
and
bike
more
I.
Guess
when
I
read
the
plan,
it
seemed
like
it
wasn't
there.
So
part
of
my
question
is
what
was
the
collaboration
with
with
the
climate
action
plan
and
some
of
the
other
things
that
are
already
going
on,
and
how
is
that
integrated
into
reflected
here.
M
We
glanced
at
the
draft
of
the
climate
action
plan
that
was
provided
to
us.
We
actually
reviewed
all
policies,
programs
processes
that
were
provided
to
us
by
the
city
we
felt
like
integrating
Vision.
This
is
actually
something
that
uniquely
we're
trying
to
do
in
Des.
Moines
is
integrating
Vision
zero
into
your
plan,
DSM
your
city's
comprehensive
plan
and
move
DSM.
This
is
not
something.
We've
actually
recommended
many
places,
because
I
don't
think
we
entrenched
like
step
back
to
look
at
the
broader
picture.
M
In
many
places
we
feel
like
embedding
Vision
zero
into
your
broader
plans,
integrates
it
rather
than
trying
to
make
Vision
zero
everything
else,
which
is
essentially
what
your
plan
DSM
is.
These
plans
can
feed
into
your
broader
picture,
because
I
I
totally
hear
what
you're
saying
it's:
it's
just
hard
to
focus
on
safety
enough
to
get
the
level
of
detail
needed
and
every
little
step
related
to
safety.
M
If
you're
also
trying
to
tackle
the
bigger
picture
but
Equity
housing,
where
people
live,
how
people
are
moving,
how
to
get
people
out
of
their
cars
into
active
modes
they'll
only
do
it
if
they
feel
safe
right
and
that's
why
we
design
for
like
all
ages
and
abilities,
because
if
we
we
know
that,
if
we're
designing
for
older
adults
and
children,
more
people
will
ride
because,
generally
those
are
more
safe
environments.
So
we
I
feel
like
focusing
on
the
safe
system
approach
of
separating
users
in
space
and
time.
M
If
a
crash
occurs,
it
can't
result
in
a
fatality
will
mean
people
will
feel
safer
and
they
will
drive
less,
but
there's
so
much
more
that
you
have
to
have
access
to
like
this
morning.
I
had
to
wait.
20
minutes
for
an
Uber
and
I
couldn't
find
a
b
cycle
within
walking
distance
of
where
I
was
coming
from.
So
right,
there's
a
lot
that
has
to
change
in
the
broader
picture
to
get
people
out
of
cars
and
one
of
the
big
things
is
safety
and
I
feel
like.
A
M
So
we
feel
like
Safe
Streets
for
everyone
applying
that
safe
system
approach
framework
on
the
high
Injury
Network
off
of
the
high
Injury
Network
across
all
streets
is
important
and
when
I
say
all
streets,
I
don't
mean
just
City
owned
streets.
I
mean
working
with
the
state
DOT
to
make
sure
they're
doing
everything
possible
to
improve
safety
on
the
roads
in
which
they
own
going
through
Des
Moines.
M
Which
you
own
being
safe,
providing
Transportation
modes
for
all
ages
and
abilities.
We
know
that
if
we
design
treats
for
kids
and
older
adults
such
as
the
time
in
which
we
allow
for
someone
to
cross
the
street
on
a
walk
signal,
if
we
time
that
for
older
adults
and
children,
it
means
more
people
have
time
to
get
across
the
street
and
we're
not
all
having
to
rush
or
potentially
get
hit
things
like
that.
M
Further.
Looking
at
risk
factors
on
the
high
Injury
Network,
we
did
a
high
level
city-wide
analysis.
All
of
these
high
Injury
Network
corridors.
You
further
want
to
look
at
the
crash
Types
on
that
Corridor
the
people
who
are
being
killed
or
seriously
injured
on
that
Corridor,
so
that
you
can
select
safety
countermeasures
that
are
fit
to
what
you're
seeing
there,
as
well
as
identifying
similar
conditions
conditions
where
crashes
could
occur
and
doing
what's
working
on
those
other
roads.
H
We're
doing
that
already,
but
I
assume
that
crossing
the
street,
the
I
know
that
I've
called-
and
you
know
we
we've
had
issues
with.
We
need
a
longer
period
of
time,
and
so
our
I
mean
we.
We
do
set
that
for
the
for
the
older
or
disability
to
cross
the
street.
We
already
do
all
of
that.
Correct
Steve,
I,
see
Steve,
shake
and
said
yeah,
so
we
do
a
lot
of
that
already.
Yeah.
F
F
F
No,
we
haven't
got
that
readjusted.
That
area
has
been
I.
I've
actually
spent
a
lot
of
time,
because
I
also
hear
from
The
Neighbors
in
that
area
about
concern
on
Second
Avenue,
like
that.
That's
actually
one
of
the
eye
injury
Network
places
that
I
get
a
lot
of
complaints
about,
because
there's
high
speed
in
that
area.
It's
multiple
Lanes
wide
people,
jockey
in
and
out
of
traffic.
The
people
at
Brown,
Camp
lost,
don't
feel
safe
crossing
the
street
there,
either
in
both
directions.
F
M
M
This
is
the
first
step
to
getting
into
every
little
detail,
but
the
street
Crossing
example
is,
is
just
one
of
them.
Do
we
need
to
enhance
the
timing?
Do
we
even
have
a
policy
at
all?
Are
we
just
following
the
manual
on
uniform
traffic
control
devices?
Those
are
all
discussions
you
all
need
to
have
in
the
city
to
decide
the
exact
next
step
in
which
you're
taking
so.
M
Any
other
questions
on
Safe
Streets,
for
anyone
or
for
everyone
and
any
other
actions
or
stuff
you
would
suggest,
because
another
thing
I
would
encourage
you,
because
this
is
a
draft
plan
and
we
want
to
incorporate
as
much
as
you
all
want
to
see
in.
The
final
plan
is
where
you
can
give
us
specific
steps,
specific
actions,
specific
focuses.
You
wish
you
had
seen.
We
can
certainly
get
those
Incorporated.
That's
why
we're
presenting
a
draft
plan
to
you
all:
okay,
promote
safe
speeds.
M
There's
been
previous
high
level
analysis
as
part
of
your
complete
streets
program.
We
discovered
that
speed
limits
and
speeding
are
both
issues.
So
the
next
step,
we
think,
is
to
establish
a
speed,
Management
program
that
integrates
things
like
your
current
neighborhood
traffic
calming
program
like
what
are
you
going
to
do
on
arterials
now
that
we
know
that
those
are
the
main
area
of
issue
for
people
being
filled
and
seriously
injured?
How
are
you
going
to
work
with
the
state
to
understand
and
change
what
you're
allowed
to
do
at
a
state
level?
M
Around
speed
management
like
I'll,
mention
speed
safety
cameras.
We
know
that
there's
currently
a
state
law
that
prevents
you
from
potentially
doing
everything
you
want
to
do
so,
there's
working
with
the
state
in
order
to
do
everything
possible
to
prevent,
speeding
and
we'll
further
look
at
wherever
we
say,
enhance
because
I
hear
you,
council,
member,
remember,
mendelbaum
that
promote
or
enhance,
may
not
be
strong
enough
of
language,
and
we
can
be
more
specific,
but
focusing
speed
management
where
you're,
seeing
people
being
killed
and
seriously
injured
is
something
we
would
suggest
right.
M
A
lot
of
communities
will
do
neighborhood
traffic
calming
programs,
but
that's
not
where
people
are
being
killed
and
seriously
injured.
It's
where
you
get
complaints
a
lot
of
times,
but
we
first.
If
we
have
limited
resources,
we
first
need
to
focus
where
people
are
being
killed
and
seriously
injured.
So
that's
a
shift
kind
of
in
the
vision,
zero
and
safe
system
approach
is
to
focus
where
fatal
and
severe
injury
crashes
are
happening
over
slower,
speed,
threes
things
like
that.
M
So
that's
what
the
enhanced
management
along
the
high
Injury
Network
means,
but
then
also
looking
at
other
focuses
like
slow
zones
and
priority
areas
such
as
land
use
land
use.
A
lot
of
times
is
where
we
need
further
enhancement.
Schools
and
parks
are
something
that
we
saw
here
in
Des
Moines,
so
that
would
be
an
area
we
would
also
suggest
so.
N
I'm
a
little
confused
here,
I
guess
when,
when
I
looked
at
the
vision,
zero
plans
that
you
promote
on
your
website
and
dug
into
those
I
noticed
that
there
were
frequently
in
the
school
zones
are
15
to
20
miles
an
hour
as
part
of
the
vision,
zero.
So
I'm
I
don't
understand
why
recommendations
like
that
aren't
in
this
second
draft
or
like
in
the
Twin,
Cities
and
I.
Think
your
company
wrote
those
Vision
zero
plans.
They
reduced
the
speed
limit
residential
streets
to
20
miles
an
hour
so
like.
M
I
mean
keep
in
mind
that
we
write
these
plans
with
the
community
and
with
the
city
and
with
the
city
staff
in
which
we're
working
with.
So
it's
an
ebb
and
flow
of
how
much
detail
a
lot
of
times.
The
core
project
team
in
which
we're
working
with,
wants
to
go
Tacoma
Washington.
We
just
completed
their
plan
and
are
doing
more
work
in
that
City
to
help
them
put
their
plan
into
place.
Their
plan
was
very
general
and,
like
I,
said,
the
US
helping
with
their
speed
Management
program.
M
M
If
we
get
comment,
I
mean
this
is
part
of
the
reason
why
we're
presenting
a
draft
if
Council
the
public
want
things
to
be
more
specific.
We
will
work
with
the
city
staff
to
get
that
incorporated,
but
this
is
what
this
is.
The
level
at
which
we
heard
the
city
potentially
wanted
and
the
level
of
detail
we
felt
you
all
were
at
because
there's
a
lot
of
details.
N
N
M
J
Guess
because
I
think
you
just
did
it
in
that
time,
I
mean
why,
wouldn't
we,
you
know
I
mean
I,
think
about
the
Avenue,
which
you
know
it's
going
to
be
two
years
before
I
get
a
hawk
light.
There
we've
got
schools
all
along
a
state
highway,
a
child
did
get
killed
and
why?
Why
aren't
we
doing
something.
M
I
Trying
to
get
clarity
here,
so
this
was
your
second
draft.
You
will
come
back
after
listening
to
our
comments
with
a
final
draft.
So
if
we
want
more
specifics,
you
will
come
back
with
those
recommendations.
Is
that
what
this
no
they're,
not
we're,
they're
asking
for
comments
and
recommended?
So
if
we
say
we
want.
J
I
M
M
That
is
everything
you
would
like
to
see
and
we
will
work
with
City
staff
if
we
feel
like
that
is
out
of
scope
and
discuss
if
we
should
continue
help
if
it's
going
to
cost
more
we're
I
mean
in
full
disclosure,
we're
doing
that
already
with
the
safe
streets
and
roads
for
all
Grant,
in
which
you
all
are
pursuing
a
few
other
things
that
we
see
as
immediate
actions
that
we
could
help
with
so
focus,
at
least
on
our
scope.
We
want
to
get
you
a.
M
So
if
you
say
enhanced,
slow
zones
and
priority
areas
near
schools
and
Parks
doesn't
go
far
enough.
We
want
to
look
at
State
Statute.
We
want
a
specific
speed
limit
recommendation
for
those
school
zones.
For
example,
we
can
put
that
as
a
step
in
the
plan
and
or
we
do
it
as
part
of
this
plan.
If
budget
allows-
or
we
do
it
as
an
immediate
Next
Step,
so
yeah
well,.
N
M
We
met
with
them
previous
to
that,
so
from
June.
Until
March
we
were
meeting
with
them.
We
actually
had
three
meetings
with
them
in
February
Alone
to
go
through
the
first
draft
of
the
action
plan.
We
met
three
weeks
in
a
row
to
go
through
here's
the
first
set
of
actions
of
what
we
heard.
What
more
do
you
want?
What
specifically
specific
things,
do
you
want
to
be
involved
in
like
that
working
group
help
us
helped
us
develop
the
focuses
the
actions
and
the
steps
you
see
here.
N
H
A
M
Mean
it's
a
calm
ation
of
what
we
heard
during
Community
engagement,
what
the
the
what
we
heard
from
the
word
from
the
Transportation
Safety
Committee,
what
we
heard
from
you
all
at
a
very
high
level.
Last
June,
we
interviewed
over
26
staff
within
the
city,
including,
like
the
planning
director
neighbors
Neighborhood
Services
director
we
met
with
the
health
department.
We've
had
discussions
with
the
state
DOT,
it's
it's
a
compilation.
F
F
Just
to
be
clear
on
the
on
one
of
the
pieces
in
terms
of
input,
I
mean
I,
I
was
hoping
to
see
more
specific
recommendations
than
then
then
are
into
generally
specifically
on
on
something
like
a
speed
piece
like
I
I
felt
like
that.
That
was
something
I
was
definitely
looking
to
see,
was
rather
than
I
mean
I
felt.
We
knew
we
needed
to
address
speeds
near
schools
and
Parks
I
wanted
to
see
a
specific
recommendation
for
for
what
that
would
look
like
so
and
I
think
they're
as
a
general
matter.
F
Having
read
through
the
the
whole
document,
I
was
hoping
to
see
more
in
the
way
of
specifics.
A
lot
of
this
seemed
very
high
level,
and
process
focused
and
and-
and
so
I
was
hoping
on
more
specifics
generally
in
this,
and
quite
honestly
that
that's
what
I
was
under
the
impression
we're
going
to
be
seeing
in
this
document
too.
So
it
was
a
little
bit
of
a.
M
Yeah
we
typically
when
we
present
a
draft
plan.
We
typically
keep
it
more
well
to
figure
out
with
you
all.
So
it
is
the
council
plan,
the
city's
plan
and
the
community's
plan.
When
I
met
genuine
feedback.
We
want
specific
as
specific
a
feedback
as
you
all
want
to
go.
We
will
integrate
it
into
this
plan.
If
we
need
to
do
more
research,
get
you
more
answers.
F
M
Maybe
we
should
have
come
to
you
all
again
or
sooner
or
with
the
first
draft
plan,
but
this
is
a
draft
and
I
want
to
stress
that
with
you
all
with
the
community.
It
is
a
draft
because
we
are
looking
for
feedback,
it
is
and
there's
flexibility
in
the
safe
streets
and
roads
for
all
you
all
don't
have
to
apply
this
year.
This
is
an
annual
program
and
nationally
a
number
of
people
were
surprised
of
the
July
10th
deadline.
M
That
is
everything
you
would
like
to
see
and
take
more
time
to
do
that,
rather
than
try
to
finalize
the
plan
reacting
to
a
grant,
because,
overall,
as
a
planner,
that's
something
that
I
find
is
getting
cities
and
out
of
the
cycle
of
reacting
to
Grants,
you
can
chart
a
path
like
more
broadly
and
then
apply
for
funding.
That
makes
the
most
sense,
but
that
is
totally
up
to
you
all.
M
If
you
need
this
funding
right
now
in
order
to
take
the
first
step,
I
think
that's
a
decision
you
all
have
to
make
the
other
thing
that
I
will
say
is
you
don't
have
to
have
a
final
final
Final
adopted
plan
John's
going
to
go
through
this?
You
don't
have
to
have
a
final
final
adopted
plan.
It
just
has
to
be
a
final
plan,
which
is
generally
Broad
in
usdot's
terms,
so
you
could
apply
with
a
final
draft
plan
and
still
be
further
enhancing
and
detailing
a
number
of
these
focuses
actions
and
steps.
M
N
M
Yeah
yeah
I
mean
we
heard
a
lot
of
a
lot
of.
We
couldn't
find
formalized
somewhere,
so
we
felt
like
the
vision.
Zero
action
plan
was
a
place
to
formalize
it
and
then
making
it
part
of
move.
Dsm
and
plan
DSM
further
integrates
it,
but
these
a
lot
of
these
things
do
move
slowly.
When
we
presented
the
first
list
of
actions
of
what
we
heard
from
the
engagement,
the
crash
analysis,
all
the
things
we
previously
discussed,
the
working
group
and
the
transportation
Safety
Committee
were
overwhelmed
by
the
number
of
items
we
included.
M
There's
60
something
steps
in
this
plan,
so
I
think
there's
a
delicate
balance
between
right,
outlining
everything
you
have
to
do
to
get
to
getting
to
zero
and
zero
fatal
and
serious
injuries
and
level
of
detail
to
actually
getting
there,
because
I
think
that
we've,
we
have
seen
in
the
first
draft
plan
that
people
were
like
whoa,
that's
a
lot
of
work.
We
have
to
do
so.
M
It's
striking
a
balance
and
I
do
think
that
if
you
focus
everything
on
the
high
Injury
Network
first
that'll
help
it
seem
less
overwhelming,
but
I
hear
you
the
more
specific
we
can
be,
but
there's
a
delicate
balance
between
it,
not
seeming
like
changing
like
totally
changing
parts
or
or
changing
the
ship.
The
root
of
the
ship
so.
M
Any
other
comments,
thoughts
on
promote
safe
speeds,
I
should
mention
at
this
point
too,
that
we're
collecting
feedback
through
May
4th
from
everyone,
including
you
all
I,
believe
you
all
got
like
a
unique
link
to
city
council
so
that
we
know
it's
your
comments
and
we'll
be
collecting
that
feedback
through
May
4th.
So
the
more
specific
feedback
you
give
us
the
easier
it
is
for
us
to
integrate
it
into
the
plan.
Based
on
what
we
heard
from
the
Des
Moines.
M
M
Okay,
promote
a
culture
of
safety
and
safe
Street
Behavior.
So
this
is
around
changing
in
the
way.
The
way
in
which
people
operate
on
our
roads,
which
you
can
do
through
design,
Enforcement
Education
awareness.
But
it's
about
communicating
that
speeding
is
not
going
to
be
accepted
in
Des
Moines
that
we
need
to
look
out
for
each
other
on
the
roads
in
many
ways
that
it's
not
just
about
enforcement,
but
also
incentives.
M
One
of
the
unique
things
we
did
in
Des
Moines
is
Nationwide
Insurance
served
on
the
working
group
we
felt
like
whatever
and
in
Iowa
or
in
Des
Moines.
You
all
have
a
high
concentration
of
insurance
companies
that
are
based
here
or
have
offices
major
Offices
here.
So
we
thought
that
that
was
something
that
was
unique,
so
we'd
love
to
work
with
those
insurance
companies
and
efficiency
or
a
working
group
if
it
continues
beyond
the
development
of
this
plan,
to
create
incentives
to
encourage
safe
behaviors,
rather
than
just
punish,
unsafe
behaviors
work
with
schools.
M
M
Do
pilot
projects
ask
for
feedback
before
you
spend
millions
of
dollars
on
reconstruction,
make
sure
that
those
Pilots
don't
stay
in
for
too
long
and
that
you're
maintaining
them
and
moving
them
to
permanent
projects.
If
they're
working,
one
of
the
things
we've
recommended
to
the
city
is
to
do
a
before
and
after
crash
analysis
on
projects,
you've
recently
been
doing,
are
they
eliminating
crashes?
Are
they
reducing
fatal
and
serious
injury?
M
Crashes
is
a
very
important
statistic,
so
that's
something
we
see
as
an
immediate
next
step
is
to
do
a
before
and
after
crash
analysis
report
back
to
the
community
about
Vision
zero
progress,
we're
recommending
at
least
doing
an
annual
report
to
look
at
the
latest
year
of
Crash
data.
Look
at
what's
working,
look
at
what
you've
done
and
what's
not
working
and
what
you
need
to
change.
Maybe
it's
committing
more
funding
or
adding
more
staff
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
more
of
this
stuff.
M
Okay
and
I
wanted
to
go
back
to
what
does
vision.
Zero.
Look
like
the
goal
of
vision.
Zero
is
to
eliminate
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
It
needs
to
be
the
whole
Community
doing
it
and
it
needs
to
be
on
all
streets
to
actually
get
zero
and
that's
something
that
we
haven't
seen
in
other
communities,
that
it's
been
the
city
as
a
government
trying
to
change
things
or
it's
been
only
on
locally
owned
streets.
M
How
do
we
realize
this
and
have
a
reasonable
goal
of
changing
resources,
because
in
a
lot
of
vision,
zero
communities
we've
seen
a
goal
year
of
2030,
but
they
haven't
changed
a
whole
lot
in
order
to
try
to
get
there
and
I
think
the
biggest
thing
in
Des
Moines
is
I
would
encourage
you
to
change
as
much
as
possible
to
actually
get
here.
So
we
charted
a
path
to
2040..
So
essentially,
the
blue
line
on
this
graph
is
what
you
will
measure
your
vision,
zero
program
and
roadway
safety
around.
M
If
you're,
above
that
blue
line
which
we
currently
are,
you
need
to
dedicate
more
resources,
whatever
that
looks
like
to
preventing
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes
from
occurring.
So
this
is
the
number
of
people
being
killed
or
seriously
injured
on
roadways
in
Des
Moines.
So,
if
you're
above
that
line,
you
need
to
do
more
if
you're
below
that
line,
keep
doing
what
you're
doing
and
you'll
hopefully
continue
to
hit
the
trajectory.
M
N
M
There
are
other
performance
measures
in
this
plan
related
to
roadways
c.
Those
examples
are
important.
I
do
not
want
to
minimize
them
at
all,
but
there's
something
we
would
recommend
go
into
your
move,
DSM
plan,
because
it's
a
broader
Transportation
goal
which
right
this
Vision
zero
plan
will
sit
under
okay.
M
I
think
if
you
put
too
many
broad
goals
and
performance
measures
into
Vision
zero,
it's
overwhelming,
and
you
don't
know
where
to
focus
so
I
think
that's
a
lesson
learned
that
I
would
say
actually
older
plans.
They
tackle
a
lot
of
tangential
issues
because
right
this
is
all
interconnected.
But
then
they
don't
have
kind
of
specifics.
F
M
Don't
I'm
not
saying
I,
don't
think
you
should
not
be
measuring
it.
I
think
you
should
be
measuring
it
as
part
of
your
move,
DSM
plan,
which
would
this
will
sit
under
because
I
think
we're
already
recommending
that
you
have
to
measure
a
lot
more
things
than
what
you're
currently
measuring.
You
can
certainly
measure
additional
things,
but
Vision
zero
is
a
goal
of
eliminating
fatal
and
serious
injury.
So
if
you
have
limited
resources
again
that
that
is
the
one
thing
I
want
you
to
measure,
are
there
a
million
other
things
you
should
measure?
M
Yes?
Are
there
some
things
we
can't
currently
measure?
We
don't
have
volume
data
for
Peds
and
bikes
in
most
countries
in
the
United
States
or
you
have
to
do
stuff
like
do
counts
at
certain
locations
in
order
to
even
get
like
a
spot
sense
of
what
that's
happening
so
measuring
more
things
usually
means
you
have
to
have
more
resources.
So
if
you
have
limited
resources
which
every
agency
does,
if
I
were
to
recommend
you
measure
one
thing,
it
would
be
this.
M
We
have
other
performance
measures
as
part
of
this
but
number
of
bikes
on
a
road.
Most
cities
don't
have
that
data,
we're
recommending
that
actually,
you
all
need
more
Asset
Management
inventory
like
right
now.
You
guys
have
in
your
GIS
catalog,
like
where
signal
boxes
are
located,
but
we
don't
have
like
turn,
data
to
understand
details
of
crashes
and
where
crashes
could
occur.
You've
got
to
build
more
data
in
order
to
analyze
it.
M
So
this
is
important,
but
you
would
have
to
build
a
lot
of
data
in
order
to
measure
it,
whereas
you
can
be
measuring
this
and
other
performance
measures
that
we've
recommended
in
the
plan
currently
keep
in
mind.
Also
every
step
has
a
performance
measure
with
it,
but
you
kind
of
have
to
more
broadly
keep
an
eye
on
the
broader
picture,
which
is
eliminating
fatal
and
serious
injuries.
I
M
Iowa
DOT
serves
on
the
vision,
zero
working
group
and
we
are
currently
coordinating
a
follow-up
discussion
with
them,
as
well
as
the
mpo,
because
the
NPO
is
also
starting
a
safety
plan
and
we
think
they
should
all
talk
to
each
other.
But
your
vision,
zero
working
group
was
a
broader
body
of
people
than
what
we've
worked
with
in
past
communities,
and
we
worked
closely
with
the
city
to
recommend
who
served
on
that.
Like
the
Nationwide
example
that
I
used,
we
were
like
hey
the
insurance
industry,
that's
something
unique
to
Des
Moines.
M
Can
we
capitalize
on
that?
Do
I
think
it
could
go
further.
Do
I
wish
more.
This
do
I
wish
more
people
were
involved
in
these
actions.
So
it's
not
the
city
government's
plan,
yes,
but
people
only
have
so
much
time,
so
we've
tried
to
be
as
detailed
as
we
can,
based
on
what
we've
heard
so
far,
any
other
feedback
about
this
chart
or
the
goalie
year
or
any
other
performance
measures.
You'd
recommend
foreign.
F
F
It's
a
question
of
I
mean
2035
to
2040.
Is
whether
or
not
we've
actually
got
this
integrated
into
our
CIP
and
are
we
doing?
Are
we
doing
those
those
things
I?
Guess
to
me
just
as
a
feedback
piece
from
what
I'm
seeing
here
in
the
ramp
up
explanation
I
would
need
a
better
understanding
of
that,
because
the
ramp
up
would
be
how
steep
the
line
is
at
the
front
rather
than
that
sort
of
flat
line
at
the
back.
It
seems
like
we
could
have
20
35.,
okay,.
G
Scott,
do
you
have
any
comment?
Let's
bring
back
the
details
again
on
where
the
injuries
are
occurring,
because
obviously
there
are
multiple
solutions
that
have
to
be
introduced
throughout
the
time
frame
and
in
in
my
anticipation
would
be
that
there
it
may
be
very
difficult
to
eliminate
the
last
few
injury
issues
that
remain
so,
let's
bring
back
that
full
scope
of
all
the
different
ways
that
are
causing
Serious
injury
on
our
Network
and
I.
J
My
only
comment
is:
is
that,
yes,
we
have
state
highways,
I,
think
D.O.T
I
mean
Steve
has
always
told
me
that
dot
has
been
good
about
working
with
the
city,
but
we
have
state
highways
that
are
coming
through
residential
neighborhoods
with
schools
along
those
routes,
and
we
need
to
be.
We
should
have
been
focusing
on
it
years
ago.
M
Yeah
and
a
lot
of
communities
just
do
crash
analysis
on
their
local
network.
They
exclude
all
the
state
groups.
We
did
not
because
we
wanted
to
show
you
the
full
picture
so
that
if
you
need
to
needed
to
dedicate
a
lot
of
resources
to
coordination
with
the
state
DOT,
you
could
because
some
of
the
initial
things
we
heard
were
right.
M
A
lot
of
schools
are
located
on
arterials
and
those
are
State
routes
where
we've
seen
a
lot
of
the
Fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes,
which
is
sad,
I
mean
right
as
we
were
starting
the
story
We.
You
all
experience
a
really
sad
death
that
I
heard
about
as
soon
as
we
started
this
project,
so
I
think
right.
It's
about
where
you
focus
I
will
say
2033
and
forward.
The
reason
why
it's
like
less
steep
line
is
by
that
point.
M
So
that's
kind
of
your
proactive
projects,
hopefully
by
2033
on
this
chart.
You're
doing
all
the
proactive
things
of
you
know.
Xyz
is
working
to
eliminate
fatal
and
serious
injuries,
so
you're
doing
like
that's,
become
a
standard
of
practice
in
the
city
which
is
going
to
take
time
to
get
there,
but
the
Steep
declines
basically
are
based
on
our
understanding
of
the
CIP
process.
Here
is
you've
got
to
get
approval
for
the
money
and
then
you've
got
to
do
the
design.
N
So
Sarah
going
back
to
your
working
group
and
that
it
was
great
to
include
include
Nationwide
I,
would
be
remiss
that
I
didn't
know.
That
of
all
the
other
plans
that
I
looked
at,
you
always
had
bike
advocacy
groups
and
Street
efficacy
groups
involved
in
it,
and
the
original
call
for
members
didn't
include
the
bike
or
I'm
sorry,
the
street
Collective
until
late
in
the
game
and
then
the
first
two
meetings
that
they
had,
whoever
sent
invitations
out
didn't
include
the
street
Collective.
So
I,
don't
think
you
got
off
to
a
great
start.
There.
N
M
M
G
M
M
Okay,
so
we
realized
that
the
high
Injury
Network
can
be
overwhelming.
Most
agencies
can't
do
a
project
on
every
street
in
the
first
year
that
you
start
a
program
like
this.
So
usually
you
have
to
further
prioritize
on
where
to
start
and
then
further
roll
out
the
projects,
so
part
of
what
we
looked
at
is
a
further
prioritization
of
where
you
should
start
and
continue
to
roll
out
projects.
M
As
you
start
to
do
these,
and
so
we
did
a
weighted
project
prioritization,
mostly
the
the
highest
weighting,
was
on
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes,
because
that
is
the
focus
of
vision,
zero.
But
there
were
other
factors
that
we
felt
were
important
for
you
to
integrate.
We
would
recommend
that
this
project
prioritization,
while
we
did
it
for
the
high
Injury
Network.
We
would
recommend
that
you
integrate
this
into
your
overall
Street
project,
prioritization
process,
so
that
you're
prioritizing
Vision
zero
projects
over
in
your
overall
CIP
process.
M
So
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
looked
at
Equity
as
a
consideration,
the
feedback
you
got
from
the
public.
So
that's
not
just
based
on
historical
crash
data
right
because
we
know
crashes
occur
that
never
get
reported
to
police.
So
those
were
all
factors
but
again
the
focus
of
vision.
Zero
is
fatal
and
serious.
So
we
put
in
those
emphasis
there.
H
But
but
our
priority
still
is
to
fix
the
roads
that
need
to
be
fixed
first.
Are
we
not
doing?
Are
we
talking
like
we're,
going
to
go
back
and
fix
the
corridors
that
we've
already
fixed
and
and
put
more
money
into
it
for
this
Vision
zero?
Are
we
still
going
to
be
fixing
the
corridors
as
we
go
forward?
I
guess:
I'm
I'm
a
little
confused
now,
but
yeah.
G
O
Honorable
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
Steve
neighbors,
the
engineer
yeah
we'll
continue
to
do
you
know.
We've
got
a
high
level
pavement
management
plan
that
the
goal
is
to
continue
forward
with
that
planning
effort
in
fixing
streets.
We've
got
we're
in
the
process
of
doing
a
high
level.
Stormwater
master
plan
we're
going
to
continue
to
attack
stormwater.
What
we've
been
doing
in
kind
of
the
question
earlier
about
have
we
been
implementing
these
practices
is,
is
yeah
a
lot
of
it
has
been
focused
around.
O
Where
are
we
doing
other
things,
and
so,
when
we
reconstruct
fluid
drive,
for
example,
this
phase
three
you'll
notice
that
you
know
some
of
the
turn
lanes
are
disappearing.
The
acceleration
lanes
are
disappearing,
which
makes
it
better
for
pedestrians,
shorter
pedestrian,
Crossing
distances.
So
we've
been
doing
these
things
as
we've
been
doing
projects
I.
Think
the
benefit
of
this
plan
is
that
high
level
focus
on
you
know.
Where
do
we
want
to
focus
to
attack
fatalities
and
serious
injuries
and
you'll
see
coming
up
here?
O
We've
got
a
list
of
projects
that
we
think
are
great
candidates
for
Safe
Streets,
for
all
to
try
and
be
aggressive
and
attack
attack
those
things,
and
they
are
projects
that
we
have
some
money
programmed
of
the
CIP.
We've
done
some
some
planning
level
analysis
on
these
and
we
think
they'd
be
great
candidates
because
they're
on
the
high
energy
networks
and
they
meet
the
criteria
for
Safe
Streets
for
all
Zone.
M
These
are
the
corridors
that
were
a
high
level
priority.
What
we
classified
as
the
top
priority.
Essentially
there
were
three
buckets
of
projects
we
realized.
You're,
probably
gonna
have
to
take
these
and
further
break
them
down,
but
basically
these
all
had
a
similar
waiting
that
this
is
where,
if
you
were
to
prioritize
safety
projects,
this
is
where
you
should
do
them
so,
but
we
understand
that
you
only
do
one
to
two
projects
potentially
a
year
that
the
maintenance
program
drives
a
lot
of
where
you're
doing
roadway
safety
Investments.
H
O
Yeah
that
one's
not
not
on
the
high
energy
Network,
so
that's
why
it's
not
listed,
but
that
is
one
of
those
streets
that
fatalities
on
that
yeah.
That's
correct,
yep
yep
out
on,
and
so
we
already
have
the
roundabout.
That's
the
first
project
coming
and
then
we've
got
part
of
the
stbg
money
for
the
rest
of
that
project.
O
That's
one
of
those
again
that
we
still
would
move
forward
with
from
a
condition
standpoint
of
the
road
and
also
you
know,
there's
been
a
lot
of
development
in
that
area
to
deal
with.
What's
going
on
in
that
in
that
area,
so
I
would
not
recommend
stopping
that
project
at
all.
It's
just
it
just
is
not
on
the
high
Injury
Network.
So.
H
O
But
yeah
just
to
be
clear,
I,
a
thousand
percent.
You
know
we
we've
already
got
money
programmed.
We
need
to
do
the
roundabout
at
Southeast
36.
In
round
sooner
than
you
start,
reposing
yeah
we've
got
Heist
young
we've
got
students
that
commute
to
the
high
school
to
the
southeast
there,
and
so
we
we
recommend
those
projects
continue
to
move
forward.
M
Yeah
and
anything
that
is
a
roadway
enhancement
project,
we
recommend
you
look
at
safety,
you
go
back
and
you
look
at
the
crashes,
the
people
that
are
involved
in
the
crashes,
the
type
of
crashes
to
make
safety
enhancements.
These
are
just
the
ones
that,
if
you
were
to
do
safety
projects
alone,
this
is
where
you
should
focus,
but
I
think
you
all
are
doing
a
really
great
job
of
prioritizing
all
Road
users
doing
safety
improvements
on
just
your
regular
enhancement
projects.
M
H
M
Some
agencies
are
transferring
right-of-ways
because
they
don't
feel
like
the
state.
Dots
are
doing
it
fast
enough
because,
right,
if
you
know
it's
an
issue,
some
agencies
are
going
about
it.
That
way,
not
to
say
that
you
need
about
in
Des
Moines,
but
just
knowing
it
is
a.
It
is
a
focus
area.
You
just
focus
a
little
differently
by
encouraging
improvements
from
the
state
DOT.
M
So
the
city
staff
did
a
further
analysis
of
these
top
priority
corridors
and
looked
at
where
things
currently
were
and
what
they
were
trying
to
do
either
through
repaving.
If
it
something
was
already
going
on
in
the
CIP
or
the
planning
phase,
and
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
John.
To
talk
about
the
rest
of
the
coordination
on
projects.
L
Our
next
steps
in
this
plan
and
then
moving
and
also
moving
forward,
are
we
are
right.
Now
we
have
an
online
public
comment
period
through
May
4th,
so
they
have
a
workshop
at
the
East
Side
Library.
Tomorrow
evening
we
have
a
translation
safety
committee
meeting
tomorrow
morning,
as
well
as
a
special
meeting
in
May
and
then
a
Public
Presentation
by
a
zoom
on
Thursday
of
this
week,
and
then
we
are
planning
to
come
back
to
council
with
the
plan
and
a
resolution
for
adoption
in
June
26th.
L
This
grant
requires
this
as
a
at
a
glance.
It
requires
an
action
plan
that
meets
the
ss4a
requirements
and,
more
importantly,
a
resolution
with
the
goal
of
a
year.
Right
now
we
have
2040.,
as
mentioned
the
application.
Submittal
date
is
July
10th.
The
grant
amounts
range
between
our
expected
range
between
2.5
25
million
dollars.
There's
an
80
20
split
with
20
non-federal
match
and
a
project
must
be
completed
within
a
five-year
period.
L
The
key
selection
criteria
for
the
grants
will
be
safety
impact,
so
looking
at,
what's
on
the
high
Injury
Network,
for
example,
there's
an
equity
engagement
in
collaboration
component
to
that
and
then
another
criteria
is
effective
practices
and
strategies
to
promote
systemic
safety
improvements.
Also,
how
does
it
align
to
other
dot
strategic
goals?
This
is
primarily
the
usdot,
but
also
Iowa
DOT
goals,
but
the
most
important
one
is
Project
Readiness,
the
complete
completing
the
work
within
five
years.
L
Looking
at
the
data
that
we
have
the
CIP
projects
that
we
have
programmed
already
so
that
we
can
get
that
20
percent
match
already
programmed
and
move
forward,
because
we
have
such
a
short
time
frame
of
five
years
as
well
as
by
July
10th
of
this
year.
These
are
the
the
projects
that
will
be
recommended,
or
are
we
suggesting
for
the
for
the
grant
and
I'll
go
through
them?
Each.
L
But
why
these
projects
they
meet
the
selection
criteria
in
the
grant
they're
part
of
the
high
Injury
Network,
there's
already
a
non-federal
match
that
has
been.
That
is
in
our
program
right
now
the
concepts
have
been
developed
for
the
work
and
they
have
been
vetted.
Many
of
you
have
well
have
already
seen
the
concepts
that
we're
gonna
for
the
projects
that
we're
going
to
talk
about
in
a
few
moments
and
again
their
project
ready.
L
The
first
one
is
Martin
Luther
King
Parkway
in
19
Cottage
Grove
to
Washington
Avenue.
This
is
right,
sizing
both
streets,
adding
shared
Trail,
adding
a
grass
Parkway
on
the
west
side
of
MLK
to
separate
sidewalk
from
roadway
and
resurfacing
the
road
pavement.
It
is
right
now
programmed
for
25
to
26
construction
year
and
the
grant
amount
would
be
3.2
million
of
the
total
construction
cost
of
four
and
all
of
these
projects
that
we're
looking
at
are
construction
money,
not
the
design
or
the
planning
money.
We
already
have
money.
Yes,.
O
Sir
yeah,
so
just
the
clarification
there
are
two
a
couple
projects.
We
are
short.
We
do
not
have
all
the
money
for
Martin,
Luther,
King,
Jr,
Parkway
and
19th
Street,
and
we
do
not
have
all
the
money
in
Forest.
This
would
allow
us
to
to
do
all
these
improvements.
Actually
move
curtain
move
the
curbs
on
that's
yeah
but
there,
but
there
is
money
in
the
budget
to
to
cover
the
match
and
the
resurfacing.
L
The
next
project
is
Douglas
Avenue,
which
is
U.S
6
Merle
Hay
Road
to
Martin
Luther
King,
Jr
Parkway
permanently
right
sizing
the
street.
As
many
of
you
know,
this
is
a
project
that
we've
done
as
a
pilot
project
to
reduce
the
cross-section
of
the
the
number
of
lanes
to
be
adding
the
shared
use,
Trail
on
the
North
side,
new
and
wider
sidewalks
along
the
south
side
and
grass
Parkways
to
separate
bike
and
pedestrians
roadways,
and
that's
programmed
right
now
in
the
26th
27
fiscal
year.
L
The
next
is
Euclid
Avenue,
also
us-6
from
the
Des
Moines
River
to
Second
Avenue.
Here
we're
looking
the
right
size
from
four
lanes
to
three
lanes.
We
have
a
pilot
project
currently
underway
from
12th
to
Second.
This
would
move
the
curbs
in
that
section.
In
the
section
between
the
Des
Moines,
River
and
12th
Street,
we
would
change
payment
markings
only
constructing
curbs
extensions
bump
outs
to
shorten
The
Pedestrian
Crossing
distances
a
shield
on
street
parking,
and
it
would
be
resurfacing
of
this
roadway
from
Des
Moines
River
to
second.
L
Next
is
Forest
Avenue
Beaver
tonight
here
we're
looking
to
right
size
to
reduce
the
number
of
lanes
of
the
existing
four-lane
Street,
the
ad
improved
pedestrian
Crossings
along
the
corridor,
bicycle
Lanes
along
the
corridor,
as
well
as
traffic
signal
Replacements
at
Forest
and
25th
enforced
in
27th,
and
resurfaced
the
roadway
pavement.
This
right
now
is
looking
into
a
fiscal
year.
25
Construction.
L
L
This
is
an
overview
map
of
where
these
are
kind
of
placed
throughout
the
city
and
the
toll,
so
the
total
amount
that
we
would
be
proposing
to
have
the
grant
for
is
the
in
the
amount
of
16
million
dollars,
and
these
are
the
breakdown
of
other
federal
funds
that
have
been
identified
or
attached
to
the
various
projects.
State
monies,
as
well
as
the
city
portion
that
is
programmed.
N
F
My
question
their
minimum
requirements:
do
we
have
any
sense,
because
there's
a
pretty
broad
range
of
what
a
plan
can
look
like
that
meets
the
minimum
requirement
today?
Do
they
evaluate
the
quality
of
a
plan
and
and
look
at
look
at
the
plan
itself,
or
did
we
just
or
we
just
sort
of
checking
the
box
and
letting
them
know
that
we've
got
a
plan
in
place
and
and
just
having
their
plan
is.
L
I
think
they
do
evaluate
the
plan
to
a
certain
degree,
but
they
also
have
a
revision
in
there
that
if
a
community
does
not
have
a
Consolidated
plan,
if
they
have
elements
of
what
would
qualify
as
an
action
plan
in
multiple
other
plans
or
documents
that
they
can
coalesce
that
together
and
qualify
as
a
as
an
action
plan.
So
there
is
a
criteria
that
is
shown
in
the
funding
announcement
that
does
indicate
or
should
give
guidance
as
far
as
what
the
the
plan
should
address.
L
F
I,
don't
know
that
I
have
a
sense.
Maybe
this
is
something
to
follow
up
with
with
the
program
on
how
this
is
evaluated.
I
get
that
we've
got
the
criteria
I
on
all
these
things.
Their
range
right
like,
for
example,
the
minimum,
might
be
to
have
a
plan
with
a
2040
Vision
zero,
but
do
they
do
they
wait
better?
If
the
plan
has
a
goal
of
2035
rather
than
2040.
M
M
They
scan
the
plan,
I
would
say
at
a
super
high
level,
but
what
they're
really
looking
at
is
need
and
impact
for
who
they
select,
I'd,
say
90
in
year.
One
of
this
program,
410
communities
got
money,
most
people
that
applied
got
money,
but
they
have
two
thresholds
of
what
they're
looking
at,
which
is
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes
and
demographic
Equity
information.
M
M
What
they're
looking
at
is
the
projects
you're
applying
for
which
can
be
programmatic
or
construction
or
anything
are
what
are
going
to
have
the
most
impact
and
or
where
need
is
greatest.
So
it
should
basically
be
a
project
on
your
high
Injury
Network,
because
I
think
you
have
a
hard
sell
if
it's
not.
So,
if
we've
looked
at
that
with
the
city
staff,
even
though
it's
not
like
specifically
part
of
our
scope,.
