A
A
It's
good,
okay,
good,
all
right!
Well,
good
evening!
Everyone!
My
name
is
steve
naber,
I'm
the
city
engineer
for
for
our
city
of
des
moines
here
and
I've
got
corey
bogenriff
who's,
our
principal
traffic
engineer,
we're
excited
to
present
to
you
tonight,
the
east
court,
avenue
reconstruction
project
and
and
really
the
focus
is
between
the
des
moines
river
up
to
east
15th
street.
So
so
corey.
If
you
could
have
invested
the
slides,
we've
got
a
handful
of
city
staff,
though
on
on
on
with
us
as
well.
A
A
If
you
have
a
question
and
and
hopefully
you
see
a
menu
bar
like
what
you
see
on
the
screen
there,
where
you
can
actually
click
on
the
participants
tab,
you
can
see
that
little
red
box
run
that
participants
tab
there
and
that
will
give
you
when
you
go.
When
you
see
your
your
name
there,
it
will
give
you
an
option
to
raise
your
hand
and
mute
and
unmute
yourself
if
you're
on
a
phone
and
I'm
not
seeing
anybody
on
a
phone
right
now,
but
we'll
not
just
just
in
case.
A
Please
press
star
nine
to
raise
your
hand
star
nine,
to
raise
your
hand
and
then
star
six
to
unmute
yourself.
So
if
you're
on
a
phone
star,
nine
and
star
sticks,
but
otherwise,
if
you're
those
you
on
a
computer
or
or
a
smart
device,
you
should
be
able
to
see
the
the
zoom
menu
bar
at
the
bottom
there.
So,
all
right
and
and
so
again
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
east
court
avenue
reconstruction
project.
The
project
actually
stems
from
a
couple.
It
kind
of
comes
from
a
few
different
planning
efforts.
A
First,
the
the
pavement
condition
of
east
court
avenue
between
the
river,
the
des
moines
river
bridge
and
east
14th
street.
It
warrants
full
reconstruction,
okay,
so
the
pavement
condition
warrant.
That's
that
was
the
driver
of
the
project.
Initially
was
the
payment
condition.
Poor
payment
condition
warrants
reconstruction.
There
also
is
several.
You
know
when
we
we,
we
do
what's
called
an
alteration,
as
determined
defined
by
our
our
federal
government
for
the
through
the
americans
with
disabilities
act.
We
we.
A
A
Also,
the
city
has
a
transportation
master
plan,
move
dsm
and
and
kind
of
a
component
of
that
that
transportation
master
plan
is
connect
downtown,
which
is
essentially
our
master
plan
for
our
downtown
planning
efforts
and
and
our
goal
for
the
city
is
to
provide
a
transformation
network,
that's
safe
for
all
users,
all
users,
you
know
motorists,
pedestrians,
transit
users,
bicyclists
all
users,
and-
and
so
that's
that's,
that's
the
main
vision
and
focus
of
what
we're.
What
our
goal
is
for
our
traffic
transportation.
A
Folks
who
do
the
planning
and
engineering
here,
and
so
when
we
reconstruct
a
street
that
gives
us
the
opportunity
to
make
to
identify
and
make
geometric
improvements
to
that
street.
And
that's
what
we'll
have
corey
cover
those
more
in
detail
in
a
bit
here,
but
essentially
connect
downtown
our
transportation
master
plan.
A
We
had
some
nationally
known
plan
transportation,
planning
firms
and
traffic
modeling
firms,
do
a
number
of
analyses
through
the
downtown
and
identify
some
issues
that
improvements
that
could
be
done
to
the
streets
again
to
make
them
safe
for
all
users,
and
this
street
particularly,
was
identified.
It
had
areas
that
were
challenging
to
cross
and
areas
that
were
that
this
is
also
a
location
to
provide
more
connectivity
for
our
bicycle
network
and
so
through
the
planning
process.
A
We
want
to
focus
on
connectivity
as
well,
so
we
would
like
to
do
some
restriping
across
the
bridge
and
then
also
re-striping
across
over
to
east
15th,
to
to
provide
connectivity
for
our
bicycle
network
there.
So,
of
course,
you
can
go
to
the
next
slide.
Please
and
again,
this
is
a
slide
that
shows
the
condition
of
the
streets
there.
You
can
see
sidewalk
curb
ramps
that
are
not
not
a
compliant
with
the
americans
with
disabilities
act
there.
A
So,
okay,
next
slide
corrine
and
corey
I'll,
all
I'm
going
to
turn
over
to
corey
baldwin.
If
again,
we
I
talked
to
him
generally
about
what,
where
this
project
stemmed
frozen,
I'm
going
to
have
cory
talk
about.
You
know
the
the
existing
conditions
and
and
then
go
into
the
details
of
what
what,
from
our
analyses,
what
was
planned
to
connect
downtown
and
what
we're
proposing
based
off
those
plans,
all
right.
B
C
All
right,
thanks
steve
again
as
steve
introduced
me,
my
name
is
corey
bogenry
and
I'm
a
principal
traffic
engineer,
city
of
des
moines
and
so
steve
touched
a
little
bit
on
some
of
the
existing
conditions.
I'm
going
to
go
into
a
little
bit
more
detail
on
a
few
of
the
details
of
the
project,
but,
as
steve
mentioned
really
the
court
avenue
is.
C
It
has
two
lanes
eastbound
and
one
lane
westbound
and
really
that
cross
section
doesn't
fit
with
today's
traffic
and
it
it
doesn't
fit
with
what
the
traffic
projections
has
told
us.
So
this
is,
you
know
a
picture
just
looking
west
between
east
first
and
east
second,
to
get
you
kind
of
a
feel
for
the
corridor
and
this
graph
or
table
kind
of
shows
the
average
daily
traffic
through
the
year.
C
C
Allows
us
to
reassess
what
this
cross
section
is
on
eastport,
just
a
few
other
existing
conditions
as
up
by
the
capital.
We
have
a
few,
you
know,
offset
intersections,
specifically
think,
bind
drive
and
and
day
street
and
what
those
intersections,
while
you
know
when
the
the
whole
capital
complex
was
built
from
an
aerial
these
streets
look
really
nice.
The
problem
is
when
you're
driving
them.
They
tend
to
be
a
bit
confusing
and
create
some
safety
concerns.
C
This
top
picture
here
on
the
right
shows
day
street
as
it
as
it
comes
into
east
court,
and
so
you
know
it's
a
little
bit
confusing
for
drivers
and
it
also
requires
this
really
wide
street.
So
you,
you
know
you
typically,
your
street
would
be,
you
know,
say
anywhere
between
26
to
maybe
50
feet.
If
it
was
a
wide,
you
know
had
multiple
lanes
well
here.
The
intersection
is
about
230
feet,
so
it's
really
wide.
It's
not
pedestrian
friendly
and
it
makes
difficult
for
drivers
maneuvering
at
the
intersection.
C
It
also
you
can
see
here
because
it's
kind
of
a
it's
kind
of
a
free
movement.
So
it's
not
really
a
a
t
intersection
where
you
come
up
and
stop,
and
so
there's
actually,
it's
yield
controlled,
which
is
kind
of
inconsistent
for
the
corridor,
wanted
to
talk
too
about
kind
of
what's
going
on
in
the
area
and
how
this
east
court
project
fits
in
with
everything
happening
in
the
area.
C
This
just
kind
of
shows
some
of
the
connectivity,
the
east
coast
court
corridor
is
shown
in
the
dashed
red
line.
The
existing
bike
facilities
or
network
are
shown
in
the
solid
green,
so
you
have
east
grand
walnut
street
east
6th
from
court
down
to
mlk,
and
then
you
have
the
the
riverwalk
and
the
trails
there
there's
also
some
planned
bike
networks,
the
core
network
here
continuing
on
e6
to
the
north
east.
C
Fourth,
through
this
new
market
district,
which
I'll
touch
on
in
a
second
as
well
as
a
planned
pedestrian
corridor
in
the
future
through
the
market
district,
so
there's
escort
kind
of
provides
a
lot
of
connectivity
here
through
downtown
it
kind
of
connects.
You
know
that
east
side
to
all
these
different
facilities-
and
one
other
thing
I
want
to
mention
here-
is
all
the
other
projects
that
are
happening
specifically.
The
market
district,
as
some
of
you
may
know,
may
know,
there's
a
lot
of
development
happening.
C
C
That
will
be
constructed
by
development,
so
this
whole
kind
of
purple
area
is
kind
of
the
market.
District
development
area
blocks
that
are
being
redeveloped,
and
then
these
are
the
streets
that
are
being
redeveloped
and
then
you
also
have
a
planned
future
park
on
the
site
currently
owned
by
mid-american
energy.
C
So
there's
a
lot
going
on
down
here
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
at
the
end
about
kind
of
how
we're
coordinating
all
these,
but
just
wanted
to
give
everyone
some
context
for
for
what's
happening
and
how
escort
fits
into
this
project.
So
with
that,
I'm
going
to
kind
of
talk
about
what
we're
proposing
on
this
project
and
we've
kind
of
broke
it
into
three
different
chunks
and
so
I'll.
Just
talk
about
the
corridor
as
a
whole.
C
C
So
it's
an
important
corridor,
but
it
doesn't
have
a
few
of
the
different
multimodal
elements
or
different
routes
that
you
see
on
some
other
streets,
I'm
going
to
focus
on
the
western
portion
of
from
water
street,
which
is
just
east
or
just
west
of
the
des
moines
river
over
to
east
fifth,
so
currently
between
water,
street
and
east.
Third,
there's
back
in
angle
parking
and
you
have
again
these
three
travel
lanes
and
then
parallel
parking
on
the
north
side.
C
C
I'll
show
some
walk
through
the
detail
here
on
the
next
slide
as
well
and
I'll
talk
about
the
stretch
from
east
second
to
east.
Fifth,
again,
I
between
east,
second
and
east
third,
there's
actually
a
back
end
angle
parking.
So
this
isn't
it's
more.
The
existing
is
more
this
cross
section,
but
from
between
east
fourth
and
east
fifth,
we
have
this
cross
section
where
you
have
the
three
travel
lanes
and
parallel
parking
on
either
side.
C
C
C
You
know
multiple
lanes
of
traffic.
You
know
it
kind
of
provides
that
refuge
and
a
little
less
crossing
distance
for
pedestrians,
we'll
also
be
installing,
where
we're
impacting
sidewalks
and
kind
of
the
the
area
next
to
the
street,
we'll
be
installing
some
of
the
standard
streetscape
elements,
including
street
trees,
where
possible.
C
One
of
the
biggest
things
from
the
bridge
over
to
east
7th
we'll
actually
be
reducing
the
speed
limit
from
it's
currently
posted
at
30
miles
an
hour
we'll
be
reducing
that
to
25
miles
per
hour
and
for
reconstruction
projects.
We
typically
use
a
few
different
metrics
to
to
analyze,
speed
and
see
you
know,
is
the
existing
speed
limit.
Does
it
meet
the
needs
of
the
existing
roadway,
the
existing
traffic
and
the
existing
context
of
the
street,
and
so
based
on
those
metrics?
C
C
The
back-end
angle,
parking
between
on
the
south
side
from
east,
2nd
to
east
third
will
be
removed
and
replaced
with
parallel
parking,
so
about
six
spaces
will
be
lost
there
and
then
from
east
fourth
to
east
fifth,
on
the
north
side.
In
order
to
get
the
bike
lanes
through
and
not
have
to
widen
the
road
out,
we'll
be
removing
a
few
spaces
there.
A
And
corey
also,
you
know
our
traffic
transportation
division
are
the
one
said:
do
the
collections
and,
and
that
stretch
there,
as
our
staff
would
that
do
the
collections
will
tell
you
they
very
very
rarely
need
to
visit
that
stretch.
To
put
it
to
that
way.
So
the
parking
in
that
block
that
you
just
pointed
out
was
is
not
really
even
used
that
much
so.
C
Yep
yep,
thank
you
steve,
so
that's
kind
of
the
first
chunk
of
the
project,
I'm
gonna
kind
of
move
farther
to
the
east
and
we'll
look
at
east
5th
to
over
to
day
street,
so
from
east
5th
to
east
7th
is
still
kind
of
in
the
this
core
downtown
area
and
the
existing
cross
section
about
45
feet.
So
you
have
the
parallel
parking
on
either
side
with
the
three
travel
lanes.
C
C
As
you
go
up
the
hill,
the
existing
speed
limit
is
actually
35
miles
per
hour.
With
some
of
these
changes,
we're
proposing
again
to
lower
that
speed
limit
five
miles
per
hour
from
35
down
to
30.,
as
steve
mentioned-
and
I
mentioned
this
stretch
between
east
fifth
and
e6-
will
be
removing
some
not
very
heavily
used
parking
spaces,
and
this
stretch
between
e6
and
e7
there
actually
is
no
currently
is
no
on-street
parking.
C
And
so
what
we
are
proposing
is
to
the
the
current
cross.
Section
includes
a
two-way
left,
turn
lane
again
so
traveling
in
either
direction
and
conventional
bike
lanes
and
we're
proposing
to
to
maintain
that
cross
section
with
the
three
travel
lanes.
But
but
widen
out
slightly
to
allow
for
wider
bike
lane
and
this
buffer
area
to
give
cyclists
that
that
extra
space
between
the
travel
lanes
and
as
you
head
further
east
from
east
court
to
east
14th
street
there's,
currently
two
travel
lanes
and
a
median
in
that
area.
C
C
One
of
the
biggest
changes
here
is
the
realigning
day
street
to
come
into
90
degrees
and
actually
tie
into
the
driveway
that
serves
the
the
judicial
branch
building,
and
so
we
worked
with
the
state
department
to
get
their
buy-in
on
this.
This
does
impact
a
couple
parking
spaces
in
this
parking
lot,
but
it
you
know,
provides
a
more
traditional
intersection
which
will
be
safe
or
not.
You
know
the
the
really
wide
intersection
here
and
it
provides
an
opportunity
for
some
improved
sidewalk
connectivity
again.
C
This
whole
stretch
is
currently
posted
at
35
miles
per
hour
and
we're
proposing
to
lower
the
speed
limit
to
30
miles
an
hour
as
we
go
east.
The
reconstruction
limits
really
end
within
this
block
and
based
on
our
our
traffic
modeling,
the
this
existing
right
turn
lane
is
still
required,
so
we'll
be
maintaining
that
existing
right
turn
lane,
but
just
one
lane
of
traffic,
east
and
west
here
we'll
also
be
maintaining.
This
current
westbound
left
turn
lane
onto
east
14th.
C
Well,
this
stretch
between
east
14th
and
johnson
court
was
recently
reconstructed
in
the
past
five
years,
or
so
so
we
won't
be
reconstructing
that
street,
but
we'll
be
rebuilding
the
median
to
kind
of
allow
us
to
reallocate
some
of
that
street
width
to
the
buffered
bike
lanes
and
then
also
provide
a
dual
left
turn
lane
from
east
court
onto
johnson
court.
That's
kind
of
one
of
the
heaviest
movements
at
these
one-way
pairs
and
so
removing
that
one
travel
lane.
C
Here
off
the
page
and
there's
some
localized
drainage
issues,
some
flooding
issues
there
that
we
will
be
tackling
with
this
project
as
well.
So
that's
kind
of
I
noticed
a
lot
of
information,
a
brief
overview
of
the
project.
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
schedule,
the
obviously
we're
at
the
virtual
public
meeting
today,
the
next
steps
in
our
process.
This
project
would
go
to
the
transportation
safety
committee
for
their
approval
and
buy-in,
and
that
would
happen
sometime
this
summer
or
fall
depending
on
other
items
on
that
agenda.
C
C
So
that's
the
current
plan
on
the
construction
as
it
stands
today,
the
this
project.
We
do
have
a
projects
and
studies
web
page.
So
after
this
meeting,
probably
in
a
few
days
after
we
can
get
the
recording
of
this
presentation
downloaded
and
up
on
the
website,
you'll
be
able
to
go
to
our
website
dsm.city
and
access
a
recording
of
this
presentation,
just
the
slides
and
some
other
general
information.
C
C
Typically,
what
I
tell
folks
is
to
when
you
get
to
our
web
page
dsm.city,
there's
a
blue
search
box
up
at
the
top,
if
you
just
type
in
projects
and
studies
and
click
the,
how
do
I
button
it'll?
Take
you
right
there
so
with
that,
I
will
open
it
up
to
any
questions
and
again,
as
steve
mentioned.
Just
please
raise
your
hand
if
you
have
any
questions
and
we
will
unmute
you
and
allow
you
to
speak.
So,
thank
you.
A
Well,
we
give
it
time,
you
know,
folks
time
to
raise
their
hand.
You
know
again,
we
are
in
this.
These
are
conceptual
designs.
Our
next
stage
is
to
begin
the
detailed
design
process.
We
typically,
we
typically
hold
our
public
engagement
early
on
because
we
don't
want
to
obviously
spend
all
the
time
and
and
money
and
effort
to
design
something.
If
you
know
you
know,
if
there's
something
that
could
come
out
of
the
public
engagement
interaction
process
that
could
change
our
design.
B
A
Or
even
greg
when
wrong,
but
I
don't
you
know
we
yeah.
We.
We
don't
know
that
at
this
point
it
it
would
probably
be
it
would
be
phase,
but
we
we
don't
know
that
at
this
at
this
time
I
my
suspicion
is.
You
would
probably
start
if,
if,
if
the
eastern
section
had
the
storm,
the
sewer
work,
we
generally
start
with
the
underground
and
that's
which
would
be
more
on
the
east
side.
But
we
we
do
not
have
that
that
determined
at
this
time.
D
Let's
see
ethan
everyone
really
happy
to
see
what's
laid
out
in
the
project.
We
were
curious
to
see
what
it
would
look
like.
You
know,
as
it
moves
forward.
We're
always
curious
to
see
more
about
the
especially
pedestrian
crossings,
as
well
as
some
of
the
north-south
bike
crossings.
But
we
really
like
that.
You
know:
east
ground
was
a
big
project,
but
it
was
pretty
isolated
at
first,
so
we
like
seeing
the
rest
of
this
network
start
to
come
together.
D
I
think
one
question
or
point
that
I
would
want
us
to
think
a
little
further
on
would
be
the
eastern
edge
where
it's
more
of
a
trucking
route.
You
know
the
wider
lanes
the
higher
speed
limit,
just
if
we
can
build
in
some
greater
protection
or
design
aspects
to
create
a
safer,
more
comfortable
environment
when
the
rest
of
this
corridor
looks
really
welcoming
and
fantastic.
So
I
think
that
would
be
our
one
piece.
C
Yeah
thanks
mike
yeah
yeah,
one
of
the
the
biggest
points
of
of
emphasis
you
know
on
this
eastern
end
is
to
get
that
the
bike
lane
into
you
know.
As
you
go
farther
east
of
east
15th.
You
know.
East
court
really
turns
into
a
residential
street
so
trying
to
provide
that
connectivity
but
yeah.
I
think,
as
we
get
into
the
detailed
design,
we'll
be
taking
a
closer
look
on
on
what
those
treatments
are
and
how
we
can
make
it
a
little
safer
and
more
inviting
for
for
bikers
through
that
area.
A
And
it
worked
and-
and
we're
very
excited
too,
to
continue
to
build
this
network,
and
you
know
over
the
past,
you
know
a
couple
years
in
the
upcoming
few
years.
You
know
there's
a
number
of
projects
to
kind
of
build
out
this
network
downtown.
As
as
many
of
you
know,
I
mean
we,
there
there's
a
lack
of
connectivity
downtown,
especially
with
our
bike,
our
bicycle
network.
There's
no
question
about
that.
E
A
C
Yeah,
I
was
just
going
to
say
there's
that
was
a
one
thing
that
we
met
with
charlie,
who
spoke
earlier,
who
works
up
at
the
state
and
some
other
folks
and
as
steve
said.
Yes,
on
the
east
side,
there's
sidewalk,
you
can
kind
of
see
where
we're
tying
in.
You
can
kind
of
see
it
under
here,
but
there
there
isn't
on
the
west
side.
Okay,
all
right,
and
so
the
the
plan
would
be
to
add
that
for
some
connectivity.
E
A
And
and
corey
there
there
I
mean
there
is
one
issue
that
we
are
addressing
and
I
think
it
was
probably
brought
up.
Maybe
in
the
meetings
would
you
discuss
with
charlie,
but
you
know
there's
not.
There
is
not
a
a
sidewalk
ramp
to
cross
over
kind
of
to
the
judicial
branch
building.
Today,
if
I
remember,
I
think
it
just
kind
of
comes
around,
but
people
do
kind
of
like
well
today,
they're
kind
of
they
kind
of
use
the
driveway.
C
A
C
A
B
A
Right,
well,
you
know,
I
you
know,
hearing
none
if
anyone
thinks
of
any
comments
again
corey
able
to
go
back
to
this,
the
page
with
the
web,
the
web.
There
you
go
again
if,
if
you
have
folks
who
you
want
to
share
this
this
with
or
if
you
think
the
questions
later,
if
you
could,
please
please
go
to
the
projects
and
studies
webpage.
A
You
know,
like
I
said,
we're
gonna.
Our
goal
is
to
start
design
here
this
summer
of
these
improvements.
So
please
please
share
them
if
you,
if
you
come
up
with
think
of
things
later,
so
all
right
well,
hearing
none!
I
want
to
thank
everyone
for
their
time.
Thank
you,
councilman
boss,
for
joining
us
as
well,
and
thank
you
all
the
various
members
of
the
public
and
and
stakeholders
along
the
corridor
members
from
the
state.
