Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
All
right
we'll
go
ahead
and
get
started,
at
least
with
the
introductions
and
get
into
some
of
the
the
prelude
background
information.
My
name
is
John
Davis
I'm,
the
city
traffic
engineer
for
the
city
of
Des
Moines,
and
here
on
the
zoo
meeting.
We
have
Representatives
from
the
our
consultant
team
that
has
helped
us
prepare
the
draft
action
plan.
A
If
you
want
to
go
ahead
and
share
your
screen
and
I
guess,
while
Sarah
transitions
to
her
screen,
I'll
just
remind
everybody
that
if
you,
if
you
have
a
comment
or
question
during
this
General
time
or
even
in
the
breakout
groups,
I
think
we're
a
small
lift
group.
You
can
either
you
have
a
choice
of
raising
your
hand
and
those
buttons
are
at
the
bottom
of
your
your
screen
or
just
unmuting
yourself
and,
and
speaking
up
this
meeting
is
being
recorded.
A
Well-
and
this
is
Thursday
or
or
early
part
of
next
week,
once
we
get
the
the
video
processed
from
zoom
and
and
put
together,
the
chat
is
available
for
you
to
message
to
the
host
co-host
or
to
everyone,
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
over
to
serif.
To
give
a
brief
introduction
of
what
we're
going
to
be
doing
this
evening,.
B
But
I
first
wanted
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
current
draft
of
the
vision,
zero
action
plan,
and
then
we
will
be
doing
a
series
of
two
activities
really
four
activities
combined
into
two
that
align
with
the
in-person
workshop.
We
did
on
Tuesday
in
Des
Moines,
as
well
as
the
online
engagement
that
is
available
through
May
4th.
B
You
can
keep
up
to
date
on
the
project
overall
on
the
city's
Vision
zero
web
page,
which
I
believe
we're
gonna.
Have
somebody
drop
in
the
chat
if
you
are
not
already
familiar
with
that
page
and
then?
Secondly,
the
social
pinpoint
site
that
we
previously
asked
the
community
to
tell
us
a
variety
of
things
related
to
roadway
safety.
B
First,
as
well
as
other
actions,
you
would
like
to
see
safety
countermeasures
so
Road
design
changes
that
improve
safety,
which
ones
do
you
think,
would
be
most
effective
in
Des
Moines
and
then
third,
we
did
a
project
prioritization,
which
I
will
go
through
in
this
presentation,
but
we
would
like
your
feedback
on
which
ones
of
those
are
most
urgent
to
implement
on
the
ground
first,
as
well
as
what
you
would
like
to
see
on
those
corridors.
So
those
are
kind
of
three
areas
in
the
plan.
B
We
especially
want
public
feedback,
so
encourage
your
colleagues,
friends
and
family
to
also
go
to
either
of
these
web
pages
to
to
see
and
View
Vision
zero.
We
need
more
people
in
the
Des
Moines
Community
to,
of
course
know
what
Vision
zero
is.
There's,
definitely
still
Community
engagement
and
capacity
building
needed
there,
as
well
as
provide
us
feedback
on
this
plan,
so
that
we
make
sure
it's
exactly
what
the
Des
Moines
Community
wants
to
see
and
can
Implement
together.
B
B
B
B
Second,
it's
not
letting
me
advance
there,
we
go
okay.
So
how
did
we
get
to
this
draft
action
plan?
Those
of
you
in
this
call
participated
in
a
series
of
events,
starting
all
the
way
back
in
June
of
2022,
where
we
did
a
series
of
public
engagement
in
order
to
hear
the
roadway
safety
issues,
concerns
and
ideas
across
Des
Moines,
as
well
as
we
reviewed
the
cities
and
partner
agency
like
Iowa,
DOT
and
mpos
policies,
programs
and
practices
around
roadway
safety,
such
as
the
that
he's
planned.
B
So
the
plan
contains
a
summary
of
the
public
engagement,
including
the
in-person
workshops
and
pop-up
events
that
we
hosted
the
online
engagement
originally
that
we
did
to
understand
the
issues
around
roadway
safety
in
Des
Moines,
as
well
as
a
summary
of
the
crash
analysis.
We
both
mapped
crashes
between
2017
and
2021
to
understand
where
they
were
happening,
as
well
as
key
contributing
factors
as
to
why
crashes
are
happening.
B
The
city
has
a
full
two-part
report
of
the
analysis
and
a
summary
of
the
main
things
that
we
saw
in
the
in
the
city
of
Des.
Moines
are
included
in
the
draft
action
plan
after
a
series
of
meetings
and
reviews
and
discussions.
Of
course,
the
goal
of
vision.
Zero
is
to
eliminate
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes
on
all
roads
together
other
in
Des
Moines,
and
we
need
to
Target
here
in
order
to
get
to
zero.
B
That
is
because,
while
zero
should
be
our
goal,
starting
yesterday,
the
target
year
is
really
estimated
based
on
resources
needed
and
things
that
need
to
be
done
on
the
ground
and
with
projects
programs
changing
in
policy.
In
order
to
actually
realize
that
goal.
One
thing
in
a
lot
of
early
Vision
zero
agencies
is
they
set
a
really
aggressive
Target
year
to
try
to
get
to
zero,
but
then
really
didn't
change
a
whole
lot
in
the
way
of
how
they
were
doing
business,
allocating
funds
or
making
roadway
safety
decisions.
B
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
Des
Moines
isn't
setting
an
aggressive
Target
year
and
then
not
changing
a
whole
lot
where
they're
not
going
to
realize
that
goal
by
that
Target
year.
So
it's
a
happy
medium
of.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
changing
the
way
in
which
we're
making
roadway
safety
decisions
to
really
commit
to
zero
deaths
and
serious
injuries,
but
it
takes
a
while
to
get
things
on
the
ground
to
really
change
those
behaviors
and
eliminate
those
crashes.
B
We
really
tried
to
make
the
focuses
the
actions
and
the
steps
in
this
plan
specific
and
measurable.
This,
essentially,
is
your
planning
road
map
for
how
to
change
the
way
in
which
you
are
making
roadway
safety
decisions
across
Des
Moines.
So
we
want
them
to
be
as
specific
and
measurable
as
possible.
B
We
also
did
a
project
prioritization
process.
We
realized
that
in
agencies
trying
to
implement
Vision
zero
oftentimes,
the
high
Injury
Network,
which
we'll
talk
about
a
little
bit
later,
is
overwhelming.
You
can't
do
projects
in
the
next
year
on
that
many
roads,
so
we
oftentimes
need
the
further
prioritize,
those
High
Injury
Network
corridors,
to
know
where
we
need
to
start
projects
first,
based
on
greatest
need
and
impact
of
improving
roadway
safety.
We
also
did
that
in
the
actions
I
should
mention.
B
B
First,
we
try
to
integrate
this
plan
into
a
variety
of
of
current
plans
and
practices
within
the
city,
so
that
this
was
not
another
plan.
You
had
to
remember
to
look
at
and
think
about
in
your
roadway
decision
processes.
So
we
did
this
in
two
ways.
We
are
recommending
that
the
vision,
zero
action
plan
be
included
as
part
of
move
DSM
and
plan
DSM.
B
So
the
public
engagement,
many
of
you
participated
and
we
did
a
series
of
activities
in
person
and
we
did
those
same
activities
online.
We
tried
to
just
give
members
of
the
public
more
ways
to
provide
us
the
same
input
in
the
invest
initial
investigation
phase
of
this
project,
one
of
the
most
fruitful
results
that
we
saw
in
the
engagement
was.
We
asked
the
public
to
put
dot
on
a
physical
map
and
an
online
map
where
people
said
they.
B
This
is
the
high
Injury
Network
for
all
roads
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines
and
a
high
Injury
Network
is
essentially
where
fatal
and
serious
injury
crash
are
occurring
and
all
crashes
are
occurring
most
often,
so
we
wait
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes
with
a
higher
score,
and
then
we
also
evaluate
where,
where
crashes
are
happening,
most
often
to
get
this
to
this
High
Injury
Network
map.
So
essentially,
not
every
major
arterial
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines
is
on
the
high
Injury
Network.
B
B
Then
we
compared
those
High
Injury
Network
corridors
to
the
Des,
Moines
Area,
npo's,
environmental
justice,
seven
degrees
of
disadvantage,
so
the
mpo
looks
at
a
series
of
disadvantaged
Statistics
from
census
data
to
determine
where
underserved
communities
in
the
region
are
we
used
this
analysis
rather
than
doing
our
own,
because
this
seven
degrees
of
disadvantage
are
used
for
a
variety
of
programs
across
the
Des
Moines
mpo
region.
So
we
wanted
to
again
integrate
it
into
the
processes
rather
than
doing
our
own,
our
own
analysis.
B
There's
not
a
very
clear
Trend
here,
except
for
the
high
Injury
Network
fans,
a
large
part
of
major
arterials
in
the
city
and
some
of
those
High
injury
networks,
either
cut
through
higher
degrees
of
disadvantage
or
are
on
the
border
of
higher
degrees
of
disadvantage.
So
on
this
map,
the
purple
are
a
greater
degree
of
disadvantage.
So
you
can
start
to
see
some
correlations.
B
B
We
look
at
the
crash
types
and
a
variety
of
other
aspects
to
draw
statistical
conclusions
on
the
reasons
in
which
and
and
those
affected
in
crashes.
So
when
people
walking
biking
and
motorcycle
riding
were
involved
in
a
crash,
the
majority
of
all
crashes
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines
were
vehicle
on
vehicle.
However,
when
people
walking,
bicycling
or
riding
a
motorcycle
were
involved
in
a
crash,
the
risk
of
fatal
and
serious
injury
killed
or
seriously
injured.
Ksi
is
greater.
B
So
taking
into
consideration
the
engagement,
the
crash
analysis,
as
well
as
looking
at
the
policies
programs
interviewing
a
variety
of
staff
from
the
city
and
stakeholder
agencies,
we
developed
Five
Focus
areas
from
also
National
best
practices
in
order
to
focus
where
the
Des
Moines
Community
puts
attention
towards
roadway
safety.
So
these
are
broad
sweeping
but
kind
of
five
buckets
that
we
recommend
the
Des
Moines
Community
Focus
their
attention
in
order
to
improve
roadway
safety,
so
enhanced
City
policies,
programs
processes
and
Partnerships
Safe.
B
Streets
for
everyone
promote
safe
speeds,
promote
a
culture
of
safety
and
straight
safe,
Street
behaviors,
and
improve
data
and
transparency.
I'll
pause
for
a
second
just
because
we
are
a
smaller
group
and
ask
if
anybody
has
feedback,
but
actually
one
of
the
breakout
rooms
will
be
geared
towards
these
focuses
and
actions
in
the
plan
here,
a
little
later
hearing,
none
I'll
go
into
each
action
or
sorry
each
focus
and
highlight
a
general
summary
of
the
actions
in
that
plan,
or
in
that
section
again.
B
increase
collaboration?
A
lot
of
hands
make
like
work.
We
also
know
that
we
have
to
break
down
silos
between
agency
departments
and
stakeholder
agencies
in
order
to
make
the
most
of
what
we're
doing
around
roadway
safety
and
making
sure
we're
all
working
together
to
improve
roadway
safety
together
in
the
same
way
increase
integrate.
Vision
zero
excuse
me
into
the
budget
review
committee,
requests
and
capital
Improvement
program
processes
so
that
it's
a
part
of
every
roadway
project
rather
than
just
signature,
Vision
zero
projects,
as
I
mentioned
previously,
developing
policies
and
practice
offices.
B
In
our
review
of
the
city,
we
actually
found
that
the
city
is
doing
a
lot
of
good
things
around
roadway
safety
and
trying
a
lot
of
things.
However,
it's
done
more
in
an
ad
hoc
basis
than
formal
policies
that
that
are
written
down
and
updated
regularly.
So
we
would
recommend
that
things
that
you're
doing
well
on
safety
are
all
documented
and
then
being
updated
regularly
to
find
ways
in
which
that
they
can
be
further
enhanced
and
updated.
B
And
then,
of
course,
we
need
to
dedicate
funding
and
resources
to
Vision
zero
in
order
to
get
there
A
lot
of
times
in
communities.
We
hear
oh
we'd
love
to
do
all
of
this,
but
we
don't
have
the
resources
or
the
funding,
so
we
need
dedicated
funding
in
order
to
get
there
so
Focus
area.
2
is
Safe
Streets
for
everyone.
B
We
know
that
if
we
make
streets
safe
for
all
ages
and
abilities
we're
making
streets
safer
for
everyone,
we
also
know
that
the
safe
system
approach
is
a
different
way
to
look
at
roadway
safety
that
further
prioritizes
and
improves
safety
for
everyone,
and
also
focused
on
eliminating
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes,
which
is
the
goal
of
vision.
Zero,
because
all
trying
to
eliminate
all
crashes
is
too
difficult
and
too
overwhelming.
B
But
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
first
eliminate
people
dying
on
our
roads
that
just
shouldn't
happen
or
being
seriously
injured
and
having
Law
life-altering
changes.
So
that's
why
we
want
to
focus
on
those
of
course,
once
you
get
to
zero
with
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes,
we
want
to
move
to
eliminating
and
reducing
all
crashes,
but
we
need
to
focus
there
first,
because
that's
where
lies
are
most
affected
by
the
crashes
we
see.
B
B
One
of
the
examples
I'll
use
here
is
doing
a
before
and
after
analysis,
when
the
city
or
state
makes
a
roadway
Improvement
to
understanding.
If
that
roadway
Improvement
has
reduced
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes
before
you
start
to
roll
out
more
of
that
on
other
corridors
and
across
the
city
is
one
of
the
ways
we
can
further
understand
and
and
improve
roadway
safety
further
yeah,
so
Focus
Area
3
is
promote
safe
speeds.
B
We
know
that
speeding
is
the
lead
crash
type
reason
for
crashes
in
Des
Moines,
so
we're
recommending
an
action
to
create
a
speed,
Management
program
within
the
vision,
zero
program
so
that
it's
embedded
into
your
safety
practices
to
evaluate
and
promote
safe
speeds.
So
this
includes
reducing
speeding,
reviewing
speed
limit
setting,
as
well
as
Road
design
changes
that
get
people
to
go
the
speeds
in
which
we
want
them
to
go
and
that
are
safe.
B
Throughout
this
plan
and
throughout
the
implementation
of
this
plan
in
a
vision,
zero
program,
you
want
to
stay
focused
on
the
high
Injury,
Network,
Corridor
and
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes,
and
until
you
really
start
to
see
those
reductions,
because
otherwise
you
won't
have
enough
resources
to
implement
it
everywhere.
So
that
kind
of
goes
without
being
said
that
any
of
these
are
focused
on
the
high
Injury
Network
and
eliminating
fatal
and
serious
injury
crashes.
B
But
also
we
want
to
look
at
enhancing
slow
zones
and
priority
areas
again
on
the
high
Injury
Network,
where
we
see
speeding
and
speeds
is
a
safety
concern
a
lot
of
times.
This
is
a
greater
concern
and
a
greater
need
in
certain
land
use
areas
like
schools
and
parks,
where
you
have
more
people
walking
more
younger
and
older
adults,
walking
or
biking.
So
we
want
to
look
at
safety
around
certain
land
uses
along
the
high
Injury
Network.
B
Focus
area
4
is
promote
a
culture
of
safety
and
safe
Street
behaviors.
We
know
that
road
design
changes
change
Behavior,
but
there
are
other
things
that
we
need
to
do
around
education
and
awareness
to
ultimately
get
to
zero.
So
we
want
to
first
start
by
laying
a
foundation
of
the
importance
of
vision,
zero
in
Des
Moines.
What
Vision
zero
is
and
continue
to
outreach
to
more
and
more
residents,
because
it
takes
all
of
us
together
to
get
to
zero.
B
B
We
want
to
enhance
Street
safety
enforcement
policies
and
practices
so
that
they
include
education
and
awareness.
It's
not
just
about
fines.
Looking
at
ways
to
implement
training
for
those
that
are
repeat
offenders
of
roadway
safety
violations,
as
well
as
create
incentive
programs
to
encourage
safe
behaviors,
Des
Moines
has
something
really
unique
that
some
other
can
communities.
Don't
in
that
you
have
a
lot
of
insurance
companies
that
are
based
there
or
have
offices
there.
B
So
leaning
in
on
that
Nationwide
Insurance
actually
participated
in
the
OR
is
participating
in
the
vision,
zero
working
group
so
creating
Insurance
incentives
and
programs
and
leaning
on
the
insurance
industry
to
do
education
and
awareness
is
something
that
we
see.
That's
unique
in
Des
Moines
that
you
all
could
really
capitalize
on.
So
it's
not
just
about
enforcement
and
punishment,
but
incentivizing
people
to
a
to
enough
of
a
level
that
will
change
their
behavior
and
then
working
with
Schools,
starting
with
children,
teaching
them
young.
B
Why
roadway
safety
is
important
and
and
integrating
that
into
various
school
programs?
We're
recommending
starting
a
seafood
to
schools,
program.
I
know
when
we
started
this
project.
We
talked
about
doing
like
a
roadway
safety
table
at
the
school
open
houses.
Safety
towns
discover
traffic
Gardens,
really
starting
with
the
schools
and
the
kids,
but
then
you
also
reach
the
parents
through
those
school
education
programs
and,
last
but
not
least,
is
focus
area,
five,
improving
data
and
transparency,
as
I
mentioned
earlier.
B
We
can
be
collecting
to
further
understand
crashes,
for
example,
inventorying
more
roadway
assets
to
further
understand
the
crashes
in
Des.
Moines
is
one
way
in
which
we
want
to
do
that.
So
one
big
part
of
data
management
and
transparency
is
prioritizing
projects.
Where
should
we
start
to
do
projects?
Are
those
projects
working
before
we
roll
them
out
other
places?
So,
as
I
mentioned
earlier,
we
realized
that
the
high
Injury
Network
is
a
lot
of
miles
of
Road
in
the
city
of
Des
Moines,
and
that
overall,
is
where
we
need
to
focus
but
oftentimes.
B
We
need
to
further
prioritize
in
order
to
know
where
to
start
projects.
First,
so
we
took
a
look
at
the
high
Injury
Network
in
Des
Moines,
and
we
further
looked
at
the
number
of
killed
or
Serious
injury
crashes
wasn't
on
the
high
Injury
Network
or
not.
The
reason
why
this
is
included
is
we
actually
think
that
the
city
can
use
this
project
prioritization
process
for
all
roadway
projects
in
Des
Moines,
so
is
it
included
on
the
high
Injury
Network?
Is
it
in
a
greater
degree,
a
disadvantage
area,
total
crashes?
B
That
is
a
factor
in
where
we
do
improvements
and
then
going
back
to
that
survey
map
that
we
did
last
year,
the
number
of
unsafe
locations
right
where
people
feel
unsafe
should
be
a
factor.
It
shouldn't
just
be
about
historical
crashes,
but
where
people
may
not
be
walking
because
there
is
no
sidewalk
or
because
they
don't
feel
safe,
because
the
sidewalks
next
to
the
road
or
something
like
that,
so
that
quantitative
and
qualitative
aspect
in
the
project
prioritization.
B
So
taking
all
of
these
weighted
factors,
this
set
of
projects
is
what
we're
calling
the
top
priority:
High
Injury
Network
corridors,
so
through
the
waiting
on
the
previous
page.
These
are
the
corridors
that
have
the
greatest
need
for
safety
improvements
based
on
numeric
factors
that
we
took
a
look
at.
B
So
after
we
did
that
the
city
staff
took
a
look
at
those
top
priority
corridors
and
they
looked
at:
where
do
we
have
projects
planned?
Where
do
we
have
projects
complete?
Where
do
we
have
projects
listed
in
the
CIP
process
within
the
city?
So
you
can
see
a
series
of
colored
lines
on
this
map
of
basically
projects
that
were
completed
or
are
in
the
city's
timeline
for
improvements
already.
B
So
we're
looking
at
collecting
comment,
as
I
mentioned
on
this
draft
through
May
4th
online
and
then
after
that,
we'll
take
a
look
at
the
comments
received
and
we
will
go
back
to
the
transportation,
Safety
Committee
with
a
final
plan,
as
well
as
a
city
council
with
a
final
plan,
as
well
as
a
vision,
zero
resolution
to
commit
the
city
to
a
goal
of
zero
traffic
deaths
and
serious
injuries
by
a
Target
year.
So
ideally
we're
going
to
be
going
back
to
the
city
council
in
late
June.
B
B
B
So
with
that
I
think
we're
gonna
send
people
you
can
choose
to
go
into
whichever
room
you
want,
but
we're
not
going
to
have
this
main
room
open.
Since
we
are
a
smaller
group,
we'll
go
into
one
of
those
two
rooms,
I
encourage
you
to
visit
both
spend
some
time
in
room
one
and
spend
some
time
in
room
two
and
then
we'll
come
back
about
five
minutes
before
the
end
of
the
workshop
to
just
wrap
up
any
closing
thoughts
or
ideas
so
feel
free
to
jump
into
whichever
room
you'd
like.
