A
Welcome
to
the
monday
june
18
2012
meeting
of
the
evanston
city
council
first
item
on
the
agenda
is
those
public
announcements
and
proclamations.
I
have
good
news
and
bad
news.
The
bad
news
is
that
rickman's
alley,
which
has
been
a
beloved
part
of
the
city
of
evanston
for
33
years,
is
closing
and
we
have
all
had
marvelous
times
there
and
it's
part
of
what
makes
evanston
a
special
place
to
live.
A
But
the
good
news
is
that
mr
carlson
is
here
tonight
and
that
we
have
a
chance
to
honor
him
and
I
have
a
certificate
which
I'm
going
to
read.
The
city
of
evanston
hereby
awards
this
certificate
of
appreciation
to
roger
carlson,
owner
of
bookman's
alley,
the
service
to
residents,
students,
educators,
travelers
and
book
lovers
throughout
the
state
transported
guests
into
another
world,
full
of
literary
treasures
and
artifacts
of
history.
A
B
B
A
Alderman
wilson
did
you
have
something
you
wanted
to
say.
I.
D
I
did,
I
did
just
want
to
specifically
say
a
special
thank
you
to
you
over
the
years.
Your
store
has
been
a
destination
for
for
dates.
Many
years
ago,
I
I
take
my
children
there.
The
oldest
is
14.
The
youngest
is
eight
they've
all
had
great
adventures.
D
I've
personally
enjoyed
it
greatly,
whether
I'm
stopping
in
the
store
or
picking
it
up
in
a
literary
reference
it
shows
up
in
in
the
time
traveler's
rife
and
probably
other
places
as
well.
The
mayor
said
it
best
when
she
referred
to
it
as
a
treasure.
It's
been
a
great
treasure
and
it's
been
very
special
to
me
and
I
appreciate
everything
you've
put
into
the
store.
Thank
you.
E
Yes,
I
do,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
council
good
evening,
we're
going
to
hold
our
recognition
of
our
latest
tree
city
usa
award
to
a
future
meeting
the
cta
work
and
construction
projects
update.
As
many
of
you
are
aware,
we
are
moving
forward
quickly
to
the
second
of
our
two
weekends
of
dealing
with
the
vidac
construction.
E
The
this
will
be
on
this
this
saturday
and
sunday,
friday,
saturday
and
sunday
the
same
schedule
that
we
had
two
weekends
ago.
We
believe
everything
is
in
place.
I
think
one
of
the
complicating
matters
this
weekend
is
the
fountain
square
art
festival.
However,
we've
worked
very
closely
with
them,
kudos
to
suzette
robinson
and
our
public
works
department
for
helping
to
sort
through
the
the
traffic
issues
that
will
likely
be
caused.
E
Our
plan
is
to
have
another
webcam
this
time
in
the
rotary
building
from
sort
of
a
sky
view
of
the
change
out
of
the
videx.
So
that's
all
coming
up.
You
can
still
go
to
our
website
at
cityofevanston.org
for
more
details.
Matt
swankowski,
our
intergovernmental
relations
coordinator,
has
been
working
closely
with
the
chicago
transit
authority
on
the
the
viaduct
project
and
matt.
I
don't
know
if
there's
anything,
I've
been
vamping
here,
while
you
will,
you
walked
mr
carlson
out
any
other
specific
issues.
You'd
like
to
raise
I've.
E
F
F
That
includes
just
the
area
immediately
around
dempster
and
then
as
well.
Around
grove
traffic
in
and
out
of
the
rotary
building
will
be
allowed
throughout
about
the
mid-afternoon,
and
then
people
exiting
the
building,
and
then
the
viaducts
on
saturday
will
be
going
in
at
two
o'clock
at
dempster
street
between
two
and
four
and
then
again
at
about
6
p.m.
F
On
saturday
for
grove
street,
and
then
the
streets
will
open
back
up
grove
on
monday
morning
to
allow
rotary
traffic
in
and
then
dempster
will
not
open
up
until
tuesday,
tuesday,
and
that
is
to
allow
for
some
more
of
the
side,
work
to
be
done
as
opposed
to
stretching
out
another
four
or
five
days.
So.
F
Sure
the
probably
the
there's
a
couple
of
things
I
actually
met
rajiv
and
I
went
down
and
walked
and
met
with
some
of
the
business
owners
to
let
them
know
what
was
going
on.
I'm
actually
bar
louie
is
having
a
bridge
party,
but
for
a
public
viewing
area
you
could
use
to
the
just
to
the
west
on
the
north
side
right
by
the
rotary
building
the
the
area
just
right
there,
and
then
the
sidewalks
on
dempster
street
will
be
open
throughout
keeping
pedestrian
access.
F
H
E
Very
good,
again
matt
unless
there's
any
other
questions
a
great
project.
We
are
having
a
press
conference
thursday
morning
at
10
30.,
with
several
of
our
state
officials.
We've
also
invited
all
the
former
aldermen
who
have
been
involved
in
this
process
and
matt.
Maybe
you
just
come
up.
Have
we
have
we
heard
from
some
of
the
former
aldermen.
E
F
I've
made
calls
over
last
week
and
then
today,
as
well
as
emails,
a
few
few
are
not
able
to
join
us,
but
they're
blocking.
F
E
F
E
Thank
you
again
and
then
lastly,
we're
going
to
try
to
do
a
rundown
each
council
meeting
over
the
summer
of
summer
events
and
the
big
event
in
evanston
this
coming
weekend
is
the
33rd
annual
fountain
square
art
festival.
225
juried
artists
are
expected
in
the
downtown,
so
we
encourage
everyone
to
to
come
out
and
participate
in
this
33rd
annual
event,
which
is
sponsored
by
the
evanston
chamber
of
commerce,
and
that
madame
mayor
concludes
my
reports.
A
A
Thank
you
sorry
about
that.
Next
is
citizen
comment.
Citizen
comment
is
an
important
part
of
council
meetings.
We
welcome
comments
from
all
citizens
and
we
encourage
the
expression
of
different
opinions
and
viewpoints
comments
from
concerned.
Citizens
are
another
reason
that
makes
the
city
of
evanston
a
remarkable
place
to
live.
A
That
matter
is
concluded
and
beyond
the
jurisdiction
of
the
council.
All
further
redundant
comments
made
on
this
subject
made
by
any
speaker,
will
be
ruled
out
of
order.
No
further
redundant
and
duplicative
comment.
Such
comment,
which
has
gone
on
for
over
16
months,
will
be
heard
on
the
kendall
matter
at
this
or
any
other
council
meeting.
This
ruling
is
in
accordance
with
the
council
rules,
the
holding
of
the
u.s
supreme
court
and
perry
education,
association
versus
perry,
local
educators,
association
and
section
206
206g
of
the
illinois
open
meetings,
act.
A
J
Thank
you
good
evening,
madam
mayor
and
members
of
the
council,
I'm
going
to
add
lib
a
little
bit.
I
notice
this
podium
is
in
a
new
place
than
it's
ever
been
so
near.
As
I
can
tell
my
backside
is
to
the
cameras,
some
might
say,
that's
my
best
side,
but
I'm
not
sure
that
it
that
it's
in
keeping
with
video
101
and
if
the
council
could
find
a
way
to
let
the
home
audience,
which
has
to
be
larger
than
this
audience,
see
what
people
are
saying.
J
J
Credit
needs
to
be
given
where
credit's
due
it's
a
good
report
and
by
that
I'm
not
commenting
on
the
slickness
of
it,
but
it's
good
that
it
is
being
reported.
It's
good
that,
what's
being
reported,
is
being
done.
The
report
demonstrates
the
city's
commitment
not
just
to
one
big
climate
action
reduction
strategy,
but
to
a
wide
breadth
of
strategies
that
are
having
impact.
We
may
not
know
the
ways
they
all
have
impact
any
given
year,
but
we
have
to
believe
that
cumulatively,
it
adds
up.
J
Who
are
trying
to
do
everything
a
little
bit
better
and
climate
change
didn't
happen
from
one
big
horrible
thing.
It
happened
from
many
cumulative
decisions
over
mainly
the
past
two
centuries,
and
we
won't
reverse
it
with
one
big
dramatic
thing:
we'll
do
it
with
little
things
like
the
grasses
that
are,
you
can
see
when
you
walk
up
to
the
on
the
rear
entrance
of
the
the
civic
center.
J
Keen
eye
will
note
some
switch
grass
and
some
prairie
drop
seeds,
some
native
plants
and
those
are
putting
deep
taproots
into
the
soil
that
are
helping
water
retention
and
bit
by
bit,
doing
a
little
bit
to
reduce
our
water
use,
and
thus
our
electricity
use,
and
it's
with
those
types
of
steps
that
we
will.
We
hope
all
make
progress
again.
I
thank
the
city
for
its
commitment
to
reducing
our
carbon
footprint
and
to
doing
what
we
can
to
make
ourselves
a
more
sustainable
community.
J
H
H
H
H
H
L
L
I
submit
the
touting
award
and
giving
lip
service
to
a
plan
are
a
pointless
waste
of
taxpayers,
funds
and
time
when
your
actions
show
a
total
disregard
for
trees
in
general
and
for
their
beneficial
effects
in
reducing
greenhouse
gases,
specifically
based
on
textbooks,
trees
produce
the
oxygen
that
we
depend
on
to
survive,
trees,
remove
carbon
dioxide,
a
harmful
greenhouse
gas
from
the
air
and
trees
created
and
maintain
the
breathable
atmosphere
that
we
all
need
to
live.
Therefore,
the
fate
of
trees
and
the
fate
of
people
are
tightly
connected.
L
Trees
also
increase
the
value
of
real
estate.
Even
my
recent
comed
bill
includes
an
insert
stating
that
trees
save
energy.
Your
city
code,
section
6176,
requires
that
quote.
Existing
trees
shall
be
preserved
in
place
wherever
possible.
End
quote,
but
you
ignored
this
mandatory
clause
in
the
city
code
and
voted
to
kill
over
two
dozen
mature
trees
in
a
one
block
area.
For
no
reason
you
refuse
to
allow
any
discussion
of
the
ecological
consequences
of
your
vote.
L
L
M
M
Nation
commission
tomorrow,
according
to
their
agenda,
it
is
far
from
over
if
you
are
expending
city,
resources
and
city
time
on
it,
redundancy
only
comes
into
play.
If
you
do
not
restrict
the
time,
you
do
restrict
the
time
life
speech
fits
easily
within
three
minutes,
but
you
need
to
not
interfere
and
you
need
to
leave
the
microphone
on.
What
are
you
so
afraid
of
it
takes
three
minutes.
If
you
leave
me
alone
and
speak,
what
are
you
hiding?
M
M
E
Again
good
evening,
we're
very
pleased
tonight
to
have
several
special
orders
of
business.
E
First,
first
is
regarding
hispanic
outreach.
The
second
is
regarding
our
safety
goal
for
the
year,
and
our
third
is
the
climate
action
plan.
I'd
like
to
ask
ad
leader
hernandez
and
our
our
library
director,
karen
lyons
to
come,
we're
very
pleased
that
both
karen
and
adelita
have
been
able
to
work
together
on
our
hispanic
outreach
program.
It's
something
that
we
feel
very
strongly
about
this
evening.
E
E
As
I
think
many
of
you
are
aware,
during
the
2010
census,
we
had
an
increase
in
hispanic
members
in
our
community
and
we
believe
that
the
work
that
we're
doing
is
going
to
be
very
useful
and
outreach
to
those
folks,
and
so
we're
very
pleased
tonight
to
have
both
karen
lyons
and
ada
hernandez,
and
I
believe,
ms
lyons,
our
library
director,
is
going
to
start
with
our
presentations.
Ms
lyons
good.
N
N
When
you
go
deeper
into
our
webpage
into
many
of
the
databases,
and
especially
our
gale
research
databases,
which
you,
the
council,
approved
the
continuation
of
recently,
there
are
a
number
of
different
types
of
languages
that
we
can
translate
to
again
from
a
drop
down
menu
and,
as
you
can
see,
among
the
many-
and
it
goes
much
further
down,
is
spanish.
So
once
again
you
can
translate
your
results
into
spanish.
You
can
translate
your
initial
search
into
spanish,
with
just
the
click
of
a
mouse.
N
We
again
are
looking
at
where
we
place
the
programs
when
we
have
the
programs
and
the
audience
that
we
we
bring
in
and
we've
had
a
variety
of
successes,
but
we,
I
think,
we're
building
interest
and
we're
building
loyalty.
We
have
programs
for
young
children,
we
have
storytelling,
we
have
many
story
times
at
our
dempster
dodge
reading,
stop
which
is
open
for
the
summer,
and
I
invite
you
to
join
us
over
there.
N
We
have
a
couple
programs
coming
up
that
I
hope
to
highlight
and
again
you
are
welcome
to
attend
any
of
these
programs.
One
is
angels
speak,
and
these
are
workshops
and
activities
to
bring
in
all
members
of
the
latino
community.
We
lead
these
programs
in
spanish
and
in
english,
as
we
do
many
of
our
book
discussions.
N
N
We're
going
to
continue
working
with
the
city
manager's
office,
we
are
continuing
to
look
at
new
partnerships
in
the
community
and
we
are
also
beginning
to
assess
our
results
so
that
we
can
fine-tune
our
programs
and
make
sure
that
we
are
placing
programs
in
the
proper
locations
at
the
proper
time
so
that
we
have
the
biggest
audience
and
we
are
constantly
building
brand
loyalty,
and
I
hope
that
you
can
join
us
whether
you
speak
spanish
or
not.
We
have
wonderful
programs
and
you're
all
welcome.
Thank
you.
N
N
It's
it's
a
lot
of
fun
and
go
to
the
mangle
site
and
see
we're
we're
toying
with
the
idea
of
doing
something
you
know
talking
like
a
pirate,
but
the
kids
love
it.
Grandparents
love
it
and
it's
just
a
lot
of
fun
and
it's
a
nice
way
to
ease
into
a
language.
If
you
feel
that
there's
no
way
that
you
can
learn
something
new
have
fun
start
talking
like
a
pirate
and
then
perhaps
you'll
want
to
speak
french
or
italian
or
spanish
as
well.
P
Grover,
thank
you,
madam
maron.
Thank
you
director.
Lions.
I
had
a
a
week
before
last.
You
came
and
had
an
interesting
discussion
with
the
central
street
neighbors
association
and
and
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong,
but
one
of
the
questions
was
about
the
ability
of
the
library
to
acquire
materials
in
spanish,
spanish
language
materials,
for
the
collection
and
were
there
barriers
were
there?
Did
you
have
problems
finding
the
materials
that
you
wanted?
Was
it
available
to
you?
I
can't
remember
what
the
exactly
what
the
question
was,
but.
N
Historically,
the
major
publishing
houses
have
not
had
a
very
deep
catalog
in
spanish,
but
the
library
profession,
nationally
and
internationally
has
been
working
with
the
publishers
and
we
find
more
and
more
high
quality
print
materials
available
in
a
number
of
languages,
including
spanish.
They
also
the
american
library
association
sends
librarians
every
year
to
mexico,
there's
a
guadalajara
book
fair
and
so
there's
the
ability
to
connect
with
new
publishers
from
mexico
and
other
latin
countries
to
bring
more
materials
back.
C
E
We're
here
tonight
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
what
we're
doing
reaching
out
to
our
spanish-speaking
population,
and
we
really
do
this
in
two
major
ways:
one
through
what
director
lions
has
said
through
the
work
at
the
evanston
public
library,
the
rest
comes
through
the
city
manager's
office
and
our
our
citizen,
engagement,
division
and
adelaide
hernandez
who's
been
with
the
city
a
number
of
years
as
a
part
of
that
team,
and
so
the
second
part
of
her
presentation
tonight
is
to
talk
more
broadly
about
what
we're
doing.
E
Not
only
city-wide
you'll
hear
a
little
bit
about
the
electronic
and
internet
pieces,
but
also
what
we're
doing
to
really
connect
with
those
residents.
Mayor
tisdale
has
really
challenged
us
to
find
more
and
more
native
spanish
speakers
to
be
part
of
our
boards
and
commissions,
and
really
to
try
to
make
the
hispanic
community
and
evanston
a
more
part
of
our
city
government
on
a
day-to-day
basis.
So
you've
heard
of
the
first
part
from
the
library
and
now
ms
hernandez
has
the
rest
of
that
presentation.
Q
Good
evening,
madam
mayor
members
of
the
city
council,
city,
clerk
and
city
manager,
I'm
going
to
go
through
some
of
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
expand
right
now
in
order
to
be
a
more
holistic
approach,
to
the
way
that
we
outreach
to
our
residents,
specifically
the
latino
community
in
evanston,
which
is
growing
every
day.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
doing
is.
Q
Way
to
put
me
on
the
spot
there,
so
the
first
thing
that
we're
doing
is:
we've
incorporated
a
google
that
we've
misspelled.
Sorry
about
that
google
translate
piece
to
the
entire
city.
So
if
you
go
to
the
main
page,
you
will
be
able
to
find
this
piece
and
right
now
you
could
see
the
way
it
looks
once
you've
clicked
into
spanish,
so
we're
working
on
tweaking
it,
admittedly,
because
it
is
a
service
that
isn't
a
live
human
translation.
Q
There
are
a
lot
of
things
that
don't
come
out
exactly
correct,
but
we're
working
on
trying
to
do
some
sort
of
hybrid
between
translations
that
we
do
in-house
and
some
of
this
google
translate
piece.
But
the
benefit
of
this
google
translate
tool
is
that
it's
available
in
64
languages?
So
not
only
are
we
going
to
be
outreaching
to
our
latino
community,
but
all
the
other
segments
of
our
population?
Q
The
second
piece
is,
we
are
maintaining
a
spanish
language
page
that
just
went
live,
I'm
going
to
see.
If
I
can
click
on
this
and
just
let
me
give
a
disclaimer,
we
are,
we
just
went,
live
with
it
and
we're
working
on
building
it,
and
hopefully,
in
a
month
it's
going
to
look
fantastic
and
everybody
will
love
it.
Q
But
there's
going
to
be
a
few
things
to
it,
one
will
be
static.
Information,
there's
a
lot
of
things
that
we
are
mandated
to
translate.
We
have
a
lot
of
hud
or
cdbg
type
letters
that
go
out
some
of
the
rental
requirements,
some
of
the
more
legal
documents
for
the
city
and
we're
going
to
make
them
accessible
on
this
page,
so
that
people
can
just
come
right
on
and
download
the
information
we're
doing
it
anyway.
So
we
might
as
well
give
them
a
centralized
location.
Q
Additionally,
you
know,
as
we
move
along
a
lot
of
our
press
releases,
get
translated
and
just
as
information
seems
more
pertinent,
we're
going
to
make
sure
it's
available
and
easy
to
locate.
Additionally,
there
are
events
that
aren't
in
the
city,
but
that
we
don't
necessarily
have
the
staff
or
the
organizations
in
town,
but
that
residents
would
be
willing
to
travel
to
neighboring
communities,
so
we're
going
to
make
that
information
available
on
a
calendar
that
will
be
separate
and
we'll
just
list.
Q
Q
Q
Through
here,
this
piece
will
change
it
all
be
in
spanish
there'll,
be
additional
tabs
describing
some
of
the
work
that
I
just
touched
on
earlier.
As
you
can
see
a
lot
of
our
workshops,
and
things
are
collaborations
with
the
library
and
other
organizations
in
town,
so
we're
going
to
try
to
highlight
whatever
is
up
and
coming
or
you
know
one
of
the
more
prominent
events.
So
we
have
this
los
angeles
abilene,
which
karen
talked
about
this
is
when
we
did
the
mexican
consulate
event.
We
had
the
information
and
I
started
populating.
Q
I
just
wanted
you
guys
to
get
some
idea
what
it
would
look
like.
So
you
know:
where
do
I
put
my
city
sticker?
That's
a
common
problem.
People
will
put
it
on
the
side
on
the
other
side,
because
chicago
does
that,
so
in
order
to
avoid
all
that
extra
traffic
and
people
getting
confused,
there's
a
nifty
little
thing
that
I
translated
that
I've.
I've
added
things
like
that.
We
also
have
a
feed
from
our
twitter
in
spanish.
So
now
we're
on
twitter
and
spanish.
We
have
10
followers,
so
we're
hoping
to
get
more.
Q
We
have
3104
last
time
I
checked
earlier
today,
so
we're
far
from
there,
but
you
know
soon
enough
right,
okay!
So
now
I'm
I'm
going
to
try
to
figure
out
how
to
get
back
to
my
powerpoint
here
and
I'm
just
going
to
say
what
I
said
in
spanish
really
quickly.
P
Q
Q
It's
all
in
spanish
and
I
am
the
one
that
tries
to
tweet
about
it.
I
try
to
pick
events
that
I
think
will
be
interesting
or
pertinent
to
the
community
and
I'm
trying
to
follow
as
many
spanish
twitter
handles
as
I
can.
That
will
offer
information.
So
one
of
the
things
that
I
tweeted
after
I
took
this
was
the
cdc
actually
has
a
spanish
twitter
language,
so
the
center
for
disease
control.
R
Q
So
here
it
is
see
there,
it
is
cdc,
and
here
this
tweet
is
talking
about.
You
know
it's
vacation
season.
If
you
have
diabetes
check
out
these
tips
for
your
health,
so
it's
something
that
we
might
not
have
available,
but
it's
important,
and
so
now
people
will
be
able
to
access
it.
So
you
can,
just
you
know,
follow
us
if
you
have.
Q
I
know
a
lot
of
you
have
twitters
now,
so
I
expect
to
see
you
guys
following
the
city
we
have
pictures
on
here
and
people
just
getting
more
and
more
information
and
a
lot
of
times.
People
ask
questions,
and
my
hope
is
that,
as
we
grow,
we'll
have
more
and
more
interaction
with
residents
and
it'll
be
a
source
of
information.
Twitter
is
much
smaller
and
following
just
generally
than
facebook,
but
there
are
studies
that
they've
done
and
there's
a
much
larger
percentage
of
latinos
and
african-americans
on
twitter
than
on
facebook.
Q
Q
All
right
so
now
I'm
going
to
talk
about
some
of
the
other
partnerships
that
we're
doing
in
the
community
district
65
is
has
launched
a
leadership
institute.
They
did
their
first
inaugural
class,
they
graduated
about
a
week
ago.
The
mayor
was
one
of
the
people.
I
came
to
honor
them
and
they
were
very
excited
to
have
you,
madam
mayor,
and
I
linked
back
to
one
of
the
articles.
Q
It
was
a
group
of
18
parents
who
met
once
a
week
for
nine
weeks
and
talked
approximately
two
hours
about
different
things
that
are
important
for
leadership
in
the
community,
both
in
education
and
just
generally,
and
we're
hoping
that
this
can
create
a
portal
to
the
residents
to
be
able
to
have
more
dialogue
about
the
way
we
make
decisions
in
government.
So
I've
met
with
the
group
again
and
they
seem
very
interested.
So
I'm
hopeful
that
they'll
continue
to
to
work
with
the
city.
Q
Q
So
if
you
go
on
our
website
and
also
on
our
spanish
twitter,
you'll
see
a
link
to
to
this
event,
and
you
can
learn
more
about
it.
The
instructor
for
the
institute
leadership
is
also
the
same
gentleman
who's
running
the
intercambios,
which
are
these
dialogue,
events
that
the
library
is
holding
where
english-speaking
residents
and
spanish-speaking
residents
meet
together
and
practice
their
language
skills.
So
it's
mutually
beneficial.
A
Q
Q
They
don't
have
to
worry
about
transit
to
chicago
or
standing
in
line
or
parking,
because
we
have
all
those
things
that
are
much
easier
to
deal
with
than
the
embassy
location
and
every
time
we
have
the
event
we
we
always
serve
between
400
and
600
people
in
three
days,
and
you
don't
even
notice
it.
I
mean
the
operations
at
the
city
continue,
and
it's
always
been
a
really
positive
thing.
I
always
have
people
asking
when's
the
next
one.
Are
we
going
to
do
another
one?
Q
And
so
it's
all
it's
something
that
I
think
that
is
really
beneficial
and
it
shows
the
power
of
partnership
with
organizations.
So
my
hope
is
that
we
can
expand
to
start
connecting
with
some
of
the
federations
from
individual
states
in
mexico
so
that
they
can
become
part
of
this
event
and
we
can
serve
more
residents
with
different
services
and
they're
very
willing
and
happy.
They
they
think
that
we're
gracious
hosts
and
they
love
coming
to
the
city
of
evanston
and,
of
course,
the
evanston
public
library.
E
Thank
you,
man,
members
of
the
council,
we're
very
excited
about
this.
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
opportunities
not
only
on
the
electronic
side,
but
also
face
to
face
and
we'll
be
back
as
those
partnerships
continue
to
evolve.
The
next
is
an
update
on
one
of
the
city
council's
goals
for
2012,
and
that
is
a
safety.
E
We
have
really
two
parts
of
that
presentation:
police
chief,
rich
eddington,
is
here,
and
I
think,
wants
to
walk
through
some
of
some
of
the
larger
safety
issues
that
we're
facing
the
community
and
then,
after
his
presentation,
the
suzette
robinson,
our
director
of
public
works
will
talk
very
specifically
about
one
area,
and
that
is
the
area
of
pedestrian
safety
and
we're
here
this
evening
with
some
specific
thoughts
on
moving
forward
there
with
that
chief
eddington
good
evening.
S
The
first
thing
I'd
like
to
mention
is
that
part
one
crime
is
down
12
year-to-date.
I
think
this
is
a
significant
issue.
It
is
a
measurement
that
that
means
something
across
the
nation
when,
when
you
measure
these
numbers
now,
once
again,
I'm
thrilled
that
it's
down
that
much.
We
still
have
some
more
work
to
do
it's
early
in
the
year
yet,
but
we
will
keep
focused
on
this
and
it
will
be
a
measurement
of
how
well
we
do
also,
at
this
time
of
year,
the
summer
plane
commences.
That's
one
car
on
over
on
overtime.
S
Every
night
from
8
pm
to
4
am
the
problem.
Solving
team's
hours
have
been
adjusted
to
work
primarily
the
afternoon
shifts
so
they're
more
available
to
the
black
captains
and
others
who
are
more
out
and
available
during
the
summer
time,
also,
with
the
help
of
erica
sterling
we've
revamped.
The
summer
brochure
which
speaks
to
our
young
children
and
focuses
on
their
needs
during
the
summer
and
I'll
make
sure
that
you
all
have
a
copy
of
that
before
you
leave
this
evening.
S
S
This
location
was
significantly
involved
in
link
card
fraud
and
also
became
a
hub
of
the
stolen
cell
phone
trade,
with
our
federal
partners
were
able
to
engage
in
an
investigation
that
identified
that
illicit
use
of
link
cards
and
further.
We
have
turned
over
to
the
secret
service
the
information,
so
they
can
trace
the
money
internationally.
S
Further
homeland
security
is
continuing
part
of
this
investigation.
Now,
as
we
talk
about
all
those
literally
global
issues,
how
does
this
impact
evanston
one,
the
rock
bottom
brass
text?
This
is
what
works
is
without
this
location
being
a
ready
place
to
sell
the
cell
phone.
You
have
stolen
for
25
or
30
bucks
as
that
market
dries
up.
It
is
a
disincentive
for
further
thefts
of
those
items,
and
so,
once
again,
even
in
these
global
initiatives,
it
gets
down
to
what
makes
it
better
for
the
citizens
of
evanston.
S
S
She
did
a
very
nice
job
and
I
think,
is
significant
as
we
continue
to
garner
national
attention
for
our
efforts
in
many
phases
of
police
work.
I'd
also
like
to
mention
that
there'll
be
an
outdoor
roll
call
at
pop
ice
down
on
howard
street
this
friday
at
6
pm.
S
Even
but
one
of
the
titles
is
collaborate
or
perish
by
bill
bratton,
and
that
is
exactly
what
we
need
to
do
and
I
think
the
efforts
I've
highlighted
here
tonight
in
the
crime
speak
directly
to
that
before
we
pivot
to
traffic
safety.
I'd
like
to
call
forward
sergeant,
pat
moran
sergeant
moran
has
recently
been
assigned
to
the
traffic
unit.
S
As
you
all
know,
as
you
know,
tom
moore
was
promoted
to
commander
and
is
currently
running
the
day
shift,
so
I'd
like
sergeant
moran
to
introduce
himself
to
you
and
the
community
for
his
efforts
and
his
plans
for
the
traffic
unit
in
the
foreseeable
future.
Thank
you.
Thanks.
T
T
I've
been
on
the
detective
bureau
in
2008
chief
eddington
created
the
new
tac
unit,
so
I
was
able
to
supervise
that
tag
unit,
and
we
did
some
pretty
excellent
police
work
and
they
continued
to
do
so.
However,
my
first
love
was
the
traffic
bureau.
I
did
three
years
in
the
traffic
bureau
from
about
2004
and
it
was
out
of
33
years.
T
It
was
the
best
time
I
ever
had
in
my
career
of
law
enforcement
seems
funny
to
say,
because
a
lot
of
people
think
all
we
do
is
go
out
there
and
write
tickets
and
hassle
people
and
everything.
But
actually-
and
I
say
this
to
a
lot
of
people
who
question
that
or
ask
me
about
that-
he
said
it's
the
best
job
on
the
department.
T
I
know
alderman
grover,
I
spoke
to
you
about
cell
phones
and
alderman
braithwight
have
an
issue
over
there
at
the
alley
and
washington
and
then
church
street
over
there
first
for
speeding,
so
I've
and
I'm
getting
311
requests.
So
I'm
trying
to
come
up
to
speed
with
how
busy
this
job
is.
I
had
no
idea
being
just
a
lowly
traffic
cop
that,
as
a
supervisor,
I've
been
to
more
meetings
within
the
last
two
months.
T
S
This
would
be
the
formal
presentation
for
the
traffic
bureau.
The
traffic
enforcement
bureau
is
staffed
by
one
sergeant,
six
police
officers
and
one
civilian
it's
implemented.
S
Its
goal
is
the
implementation
of
traffic
services,
citywide,
here's
a
partial
list
of
of
their
responsibilities
and,
as
you
can
see
it's
wide-ranging
frankly,
one
of
the
things
that
I
am
most
proud
of-
and
I
think
is
most
significant-
is
the
work
that
our
civilian,
mr
rebelard,
does
with
the
installation
of
child
safety
seats
as
a
relatively
new
grandfather.
S
S
We
also
you
can
see
from
this
list
of
issues.
Our
work
in
the
school
zones
is
is
significant
to
us
as
our
other
enforcement
efforts.
It
is
important
that
the
officers
know
what
they're
doing.
This
is
a
highly
trained
certified
group
of
officers
that
know
how
to
investigate
accidents
and
do
accident
reconstruction,
which
is
literally
a
science.
They
are
fantastic
at
that.
We
have
a
number
of
officers
that
are
certified
in
that
and
and
can
reproduce
a
rather
chaotic
scene
and
explain
what
happened
also
in
the
slide.
S
It
shows
the
482
child
safety
seats
we
installed
in
2011,
which
again,
as
I
said,
is
extremely
significant
to
occupant
safety,
and
I
really
can't
make
a
presentation
without
mentioning
awards
for
the
department
and
once
again,
I'm
pleased
to
announce
these
I'm
pleased
to
highlight
these,
but
they
are
the
recognition
of
the
efforts
of
the
men
and
women
you
see
every
day
serving
and
protecting
on
the
streets
of
evanston.
This
national
safety
award
was
significant
and
please
understand,
as
an
insight
into
the
blue
subculture
I
live
in.
S
Any
police
chief
you
will
find
is
that
same
type,
a
competitive
personality
that
wants
to
win.
So
I
think
it's
quite
an
accomplishment
when
we
do
that
enforcement
activity.
I
want
to
highlight
our
efforts
through
the
use
of
idot
funds,
and
essentially
the
24
000
plus
we
received,
resulted
in
almost
400
additional
hours
of
enforcement
of
traffic
laws.
This
is
a
substantial
impact
on
the
public's
perception
of
how
rigorously
we
enforce
traffic
laws
and
is
critical
to
compliance
with
those
traffic
laws.
S
Enforcement
results
in
these
idot
funded
efforts.
The
17,
dui,
arrests
and
13
suspended
drivers.
I
think,
are
significant
to
take
that
number
of
impaired
drivers
off
the
road
at
a
minimum,
we're
saving
their
life
and
probably
someone
else's.
Also
with
the
focus
we
have
on
seat
belts
in
cell
phones.
I
think
this
speaks
directly
to
the
traffic
bureau,
implementing
the
articulated
goals
of
the
city
council
and
making
this
a
safe
city
to
walk
in
walk
about
in.
S
I
think
that's
a
win-win
for
both
the
city
and
the
driver
in
a
lot
of
ways,
cuts
down
on
the
investment
of
time
by
both
parties
and
basically
sidesteps
the
points
on
the
license
and
also
allows
the
city
to
recoup
those
fine
monies
that
are
levied
by
our
administrative
judges.
S
Yearly
crash
summary
once
again
we're
trending
down,
which
is
an
extremely
positive
thing
and
we
focus
on
all
accidents.
I
think
in
the
following
presentation.
You
may
see
some
variation
in
numbers,
but
we
do
all
accidents.
The
engineers
are
more
primarily
or
only
focused
on
roadway
accidents
and,
as
you
see,
the
the
notable
decrease
since
2008
in
the
last
line
of
the
slide,
2012
comparison
and
once
again
we're
down
another
7.5,
which
I
think
is
significant
in
the
number
of
crashes.
S
Here's
how
we
divide
up
the
injury
crashes
and
once
again
transports
to
the
hospital
and
what
this
gets
down
to
is
a
failure,
yield
and
too
much
speed
for
46
and
24
respectively
and
then
5
was
alcohol.
Related
2012
crash
injuries,
basically
tracked
those
same
stats
that
I
just
mentioned.
S
Traffic
crashes
involving
bicycles
in
2011,
65,
year-to-date
18,
those
stats
are
included
in
the
previous
slides
bicycle
enforcement
in
2011,
62
2012
20
year
to
date,
and
that
obviously
takes
place
primarily
primarily
in
the
downtown
section.
I
think
you've
seen
some
press
releases
recently
where
we've
used
the
traffic
sign.
We've
used
in
the
traffic
truck
to
caution,
downtown
bicyclists
to
stay
off
the
sidewalk
top
10
crash
locations.
S
As
part
of
our
national
award
that
we
received
at
the
international
associations
of
police
chiefs
conference
last
october
in
chicago,
we
won
the
use
of
a
chevy
suburban
for
a
year
with
that
came
a
lot
of
bells
and
whistles,
and
also
an
electronic
signboard
that
we
have
used
for
our
traffic
safety
checkpoints
and
also,
we
found
ways
to
utilize
that
much
like
I
mentioned
in
the
bicycle
enforcement,
to
call
to
the
intention
of
bicycle
riders
that
things
have
changed
your
downtown.
S
Now
you
need
to
be
in
a
bike
lane
and
not
on
the
sidewalk,
which
is
a
continuing
issue
in
the
downtown
area,
with
the
number
of
sidewalk
cafes
and
dense
pedestrian
traffic,
the
the
speed
of
the
bicycles
and
the
speed
of
the
walkers
don't
mix
well.
So,
once
again,
we
utilize
the
rewards
were
given
to
further
traffic
enforcement.
What.
S
Well,
it's
my
understanding.
At
the
end
of
the
year,
a
ford
motor
company
will
assess
how
many
miles
we've
put
on
it
and
then
tell
us
what
they
want
for
us
to
purchase
it
from
them.
But
if
you
went
out
and
bought
that
vehicle
today,
that's
about
sixty
thousand
dollars
worth
of
truck
it's
it's.
If
you
haven't
seen
it,
you
need
to
stop
by
sometime.
It's
a
fancy
truck.
It's.
S
P
I
I
think
I
took
a
look
at
some
of
our
crash
data
earlier
this
year
and
the
injury
crash
rate
since
2009,
so
for
the
years
2010
and
2011
had
dropped
by
about
17.6
percent,
which,
by
my
reckoning,
given
the
number
of
this
is
just
injury.
Crashes
crashes
that
produce
an
injury
accounts
for
a
reduction
in
about
60
injury
crashes
over
those
two
years,
which
I
think
is
significantly
improved
safety
on
our
streets.
P
If
we
can
reduce
the
the
injury
crashes
by
30
a
year,
I
think
that's
quite
an
improvement,
and
I
I
credit
our
traffic
unit
and
your
officers
for
having
a
lot
to
do
with
this
great
reduction.
In
the
crash
injury
crash
rate.
S
Thank
you.
I
will
make
sure
that
members
of
the
traffic
unit
hear
your
comments
and,
as
we
look
at
the
number
of
citations
issued
and
the
number
of
traffic
stops
made,
that
all
contributes
to
the
consciousness
of
drivers
that
that
the
traffic
laws
will
be
enforced
here,
which
slows
them
down,
which
is
a
huge
contributor
to
the
number
of
accidents
we
deal
with.
A
U
The
10
top
crash
locations
are
very
enticing
to
want
to
talk
about
and
get
involved
in,
and
I'm
wondering
if
those
of
us
who
are
interested,
who
don't
want
to
take
up
everybody's
time,
is
there,
do
you
have
analysis
showing
or
indicating
why
you
think
these
locations
are
the
highest
the
10
highest.
S
Well,
I
I
think
two
there's
several
key
things.
The
first
one
is
traffic
volume.
These
are
some
of
our
busier
intersections,
but
if
there
is
an
intersection
in
your
ward,
that
you're
particularly
concerned
about
I'd
be
happy
to
sit
down
with
with
an
alderman
sergeant,
moran
and
myself
to
go
over
the
wise
and
wear
force
and
and
a
lot
of
it
in
a
gross
picture
will
be
related
on
the
speed
and
failure
yield,
especially
intersections.
E
Mayor
mayor
to
continue
the
discussion,
suzette
robinson
is
here,
as
chief
eddington
said,
I
think,
from
a
from
a
traffic
engineering
public
works
standpoint
to
look
at
the
issues
of
pedestrian
safety.
We've
heard
from
many
of
you
concerned
that
we
need
to
take
additional
steps
to
increase
safety
in
the
community,
so,
in
addition
to
going
through
an
overview
of
some
statistics,
ms
robinson
has
some
recommendations
to
make
for
some
next
steps.
Mr
robinson,
good
evening.
W
Good
evening,
good
evening,
madam
mayor
city,
council,
clerk,
green
and
city
manager,
I'm
susette
robinson,
the
director
of
public
works,
so
some
of
the
the
first
information
I
wanted
to
to
go
through
chief
eddington.
As
he
indicated,
we,
we
take
a
look
at
his
data
and
we
break
it
down
in
terms
of
providing
more
detail
to
really
identify
kind
of
what
type
of
accident
and
where
it
happened.
So
the
data
that
we
presented
for
you
had
the
orange
street
accidents
are.
W
Our
numbers
are
slightly
different
because
we
eliminate
private
property
in
anything
that
happens
in
an
alley.
So
we
really
look
at
the
public
right
away
so
to
speak,
and
so,
as
you
can
see,
over
the
last
20
years,
we've
had
a
huge
decline
in
on
street
accidents
and,
more
specifically
in
pedestrian
accidents,
which
really
have
been
reduced
by
50
percent
in
the
last
20
years.
I
C
K
W
W
Well
see,
that's
why
we
have
a
backup,
because
everybody
has
the
presentation.
Everybody
in
the
audience
has
the
presentation
before
them,
so
we
can
continue
on
if
the
city
manager
so
desires,
okay,
so
quickly.
I
wanted
to
go
over
some
of
the
reasons
that
for
the
reduction,
the
50
reduction
that
I
mentioned
earlier,
it
really
has
a
lot
to
do
with
the
traffic
flow,
so
our
traffic
signal
of
upgrades
have
had
a
huge
impact,
and
one
of
the
things
that
some
people
may
not
know
is
that
part
of
that
upgrade
also
included.
W
It
goes
to
an
red
for
for
three
seconds,
so
so
what
that
means
is
when
the
light
changes
to
yellow
and
just
in
case
somebody
decides
to
come
through
a
hair
past
that-
and
that
happens,
the
the
opposite.
Traffic
still
has
a
red,
so
they
have
a
red
for
an
additional
three
seconds.
So
basically
everybody
has
a
red
before
the
light
turns
green.
So
I
think
that
also
has
had
a
tremendous
impact
on
reducing
the
the
traffic
impacts.
W
We
also
incorporated
some
of
the
traffic
circles,
some
of
the
neighborhoods
we
did
cul-de-sacs.
Some
of
the
one-way
streets
were
also
designed
as
a
way
to
to
to
reduce
the
amount
of
cut
through
traffic,
which
was
also
impacting
the
the
residential
streets.
The
the
other
thing
is
just
you
know
resurfacing
when
you
got
better
streets
that
that
also
has
had
an
impact
of
reducing
the
the
number
of
accidents
that
cars
have
the
maintenance.
You
know
the
snow
removal
improvements,
the
de-icing
and
anti-icing
that
that
occurs
ahead
of
time.
W
Technology
has
just
gotten
better
in
terms
of
snow
removal
that
has
really
also
had
an
impact.
We've
been
doing
stricter
traffic
control
enforcement
in
terms
of
the
right-of-way
permitting.
Also,
the
pavement
restoration
we've
been
holding
contractors
accountable
for
the
cuts
that
they
make
in
our
street,
making
sure
that
they
repair
them
properly
and
the
police
went
over
the
the
all
the
various
enforcement
activities
that
they
do
to
also
help
support
that,
and
we
think
the
the
cell
phone
ban
has
also
had
an
impact
in
terms
of
reducing
distracted,
driving.
E
W
E
To
the
that
and
we'll
keep
working
on
the
slides,
okay.
W
So
the
next
slide
is
the
pedestrian
accident
location
map
from
2009
and,
as
you
can
see,
we've
plotted
where
all
the
accidents,
so
there
were
67
pedestrian
in
in
2009
and,
as
you
can
see,
they're
kind
of
all
over
the
city.
What
I
also
added
to
the
map,
so
you
could
just
for
reference
purposes
in
yellow,
is
where
all
the
schools
are
located
and
in
green
green
are
where
all
the
parks
are
located.
So
then
you
can
see
where
the
pedestrian
accidents
occur
in
relative
to
those
two
areas.
W
W
and
the
last
slide,
or
not
last
slide,
but
the
last
map
is
that
shows
the
pedestrian
accidents
where
we
had
two
or
more
accidents,
and
so
I
wanted
to
spend
a
minute
and
talk
a
little
bit
about
kind
of
what
this
this
map
shows
the
the
basically
the
bigger
the
red
circle.
W
The
more
incidents
of
that
have
occurred
and,
as
you
can
see,
chicago
avenue
tends
to
be
a
very
a
difficult
corridor
and
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
what
chief
eddington
alluded
to
earlier
is
the
volume
of
traffic
and
the
activity
there's
a
lot
of
loading
and
unloading,
the
car
dealerships
lots
of
lots
of
people
moving
around
and
you
have
a
lot
of
stores.
W
So
you
have
a
lot
of
pedestrian
traffic
as
well,
along
with
the
train
stations,
the
the
largest
area
that
and
we've
actually
had
discussion
about
this
area
and
we're
hoping
that
we
can
address
it
as
a
part
of
the
the
resurfacing
is
the
the
phenomena
of
pedestrian
traffic
incidents
at
davis
and
ridge.
That
is
one
of
the
the
largest
areas
that
we
have
and,
and
we
think
it
has
a
lot
to
do
with
just
the
width
of
the
road
we
have
the
the
the
mail
drop
off.
W
So
you
have
people
pulling
off
to
the
side,
then
merging
back
into
traffic
and
then
a
right
turn
laying
in
a
bike
lane.
So
there's
a
lot
of
stuff
going
on
right
before
that
intersection.
So
when
we
come
back
to
do
the
resurfacing
of
davis,
we
hope
to
see
what
we
can
do
about
either
closing
the
lane
down
in
terms
of
or
increased
and
increasing
pedestrian
visibility
in
that
area.
W
So,
specifically,
to
talk
about
the
kind
of
the
major
the
other
areas
of
concern
in
terms
of
pedestrian
crossings.
W
W
So
we
have
split
our
crossings
into
five
categories.
The
designated
school
crossing
those
locations
were
developed
as
a
part
of
safe
routes
to
school,
and
I
wanted
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
whole
process.
That
process
was
actually
a
city
process
in
order
to
apply
the
school
district
had
to
be
the
applicant.
W
When
we
met
with
district
65
early
on
to
talk
to
them
about
you
know
applying
for
this
grant
opportunity,
they
really
didn't
have
the
resources
to
put
the
information
together.
So
the
city
really
took
a
leadership
role
in
terms
of
providing
the
engineering
and
helping
prepare
the
application.
So
I
just
wanted
everybody
to
know
that
this
was
actually
the
city
did
this
in
partnership
and
we
really
led
the
process
to
to
establish
these
designated
routes.
U
W
W
W
So
we
want
to
make
sure
that
those
crossings
are
they
have
they
have
a
special
designation
as
a
result
of
that
and
so
right
now
we
have
one
at
chicago
avenue
and
then
we
have
two
on
emerson
street
and
then
the
next
category
are
park,
crossings
which
we
have
11.
W
And
then
we
have
special
request
crossings
which
we
are
classifying
as
oakton
and
gray,
barton
and
oakton,
and
central
and
broadway,
and
I'm
going
to
go
over
later
each
category
and
and
describe
to
you
what
it
currently
has
and
some
improvements
that
we
have
for
each
designation
and
then
other
crossing.
Those
are
crossings
that
doesn't
fall
into
any
of
those
other
categories
that,
but
we
still
they're
still
pedestrian
crossings.
W
So
at
uncontrolled
designated
school
crossings.
This
is
what
you
have
you'll
see
an
advanced
school
crossing
sign
as
you
approach
right
at
the
the
crossing
you'll
see
the
school
crossing
there
in
the
middle
at
the
intersection
on
the
side
of
the
street
you'll
have
the
the
state
law
sign
that
says:
stop
here
for
for
pedestrians,
you
also
will
see
an
industry
sign
as
well,
and
then
they
have
the
high
visibility
marking
with
the
latter
style
markings.
U
A
U
Know
I
think,
we're
doing
a
great
job
with
the
signage
etc.
But
one
thing
I
think
we
could
do
better
at
is
marking
the
pavements
on
the
roadways
for
cars
as
well
as
pedestrians,
and
I
perhaps
you
could
share
with
us
the
schedule
for
doing
that.
Do
we
do
it
every
year?
Do
we
do
it
on
a
complaint
basis?
How
do
we
get
crossings
marked
and
and
street,
paving
also
for
traffic
right.
W
We
we
have
a
schedule
that
we
follow
every
year.
Some
of
it
is
need-based.
We
do
our
inspections
every
year
to
make
sure
all
of
the
pedestrian
school
crossings
are
identified
and
we
prepare
a
list
every
year
of
what's
needed,
and
this
year
pavement
marking,
however,
is
not
funded
was
not
funded
in
cip.
U
P
Thank
you.
I
was
in
new
york
last
week
and
saw
many
of
those
state
laws
stop
here
for
pedestrians
with
the
arrows.
So
it's
not
just
illinois.
It's
obviously
the
national
standard
now
and
I
agree
with
alderman
rainey
that
I'd
love
to
see
our
pavement
markings
brightened
up,
but
I
think
there's
an
art
and
science
to
it.
You
don't
want
to
do
it
all
the
same.
W
Yeah
and
there's
only
certain
things
that
that
we
can
do,
and
just
so
you
know,
one
of
the
things
that
we
talked
about
was,
and
this
is
similar
to
runway.
I
used
to
be
an
airport
director,
so
I
like
to
and
that's
they
outlined
the
markings
in
black,
so
they
paint
the
the
the
markings
to
highlight
the
white.
So
because
what
happens?
A
lot
of
times
is
the
pavement
markings
kind
of
dull
and
the
the
asphalt
gets
whiter.
Then
you
kind
of
lose
sight
of
where
the
the
crossings
are.
W
So
we
talked
about
doing
that
and
then
there's
also
some
special
markings,
but
but
once
again
we're
limited
in
terms
of
what
we
can
actually
put
on
the
pavement
by
fhwa.
So
we
have
to
be
careful
that
we
are
in
compliance.
P
O
O
Last
I
I
know,
there's
a
crosswalk
near
my
my
office
building
and
I
want
to
say
it's
been
there
two
years
and
the
paint
is
very
faded
chipped
and
I
it
seems
that
it
almost
make
more
sense
to
do
a
more
quality
paint
that
lasts
longer
than
having
to
try
to
come
out
more
often
to
do
it
because
I
I
know
it
takes
a
lot
of
scheduling
and
you
can
only
do
it
when
it's
not
raining.
It's
not
too
hot,
it's
not
too
cold,
and
so
these
four
days
you
can
put
out
crosswalks.
W
Just
so
you
know
we
actually
use
a
thermoplastic
coating
that
we
actually
heat.
So
we
really
don't
get
in
to
painting
that
that
often
in-house
we
do
on
emergency
bases,
we
will
go
out
and
and
do
touch-ups
and
on
the
one
hand,
when
I
indicated
that
the
plows
can
be
a
good
thing,
sometimes
the
snow
plows,
if
they're
too
low,
they
actually
scrape
up
the
paint.
So
that's
what's
happening
with
the
the
crosswalks
as
well,
so
alderman.
X
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
First,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
this
report.
I
truly
appreciate
the
efforts
of
public
work
senior
staff.
This
has
been
really
interesting
and
very
informative.
I
do
have
a
question.
This
is
a
follow-up.
How
do
you
determine
where
the
state
sided
street?
The
state
signs
go?
W
That
it's
based
on
right
now,
they're
at
designated
school
crossings.
So
I'm
walking
you
through
the
priority
system
and
what
we
put
at
each
priority
system
based
on
priority,
because
if
we
make
every
crosswalk
look
exactly
the
same,
then
we
just
didn't
protect
the
group
that
we
were
looking
to
protect
so
and
that's
part
of
the
the
evaluation
process
that
that
we
want-
and
there
may
be
other
ways
that
we're
going
to
talk
about.
W
You
know
how
we
identify
the
the
safe
routes
to
school
and
maybe
look
at
upgrading
all
of
the
pedestrian
crossings
in
in
a
certain
manner.
So.
W
That
that's
correct!
That's
not
a
designated!
It's
not
a
designated
school
crossing
because
it's
too
far
away
from
the
school,
okay
and
so.
W
Has
a
crossing
it
has
I'm
sorry
it
has
a
crossing
guide
so
and-
and
just
so,
you
know
that
the
the
places
that
are
designated
because
not
all
of
this
has
been
completed.
Yet
some
of
this
will
happen
as
a
part
of
the
safe
route
to
school
project.
So
this,
the
locations
that
don't
have
the
the
the
signage
will
have
them.
So
this
is
the
standard
when
we're
showing
you.
This
is
the
standard
of
what
we
want
all
designated
school
crossings
to
look
like
so.
V
This
is
reminding
me
of
what
mr
carson
said
earlier
in
terms
of
looking
both
ways
as
you
cross
a
one-way
street.
Now,
I'm
serious
because
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
has
to
happen
is
not
only
are
we
trying
to
bring
this
to
the
attention
of
the
drivers,
but
we
need
to
bring
this
to
the
attention
of
the
pedestrians
as
they're,
walking
that
they
really.
V
Even
though
you
know
the
cross,
the
markings
are
there
and
the
stop
signs
are
there,
but
they
still
drive
like
they're
crazy.
So
you
know
we
need
to
do
some
education
for
people
who
are
walking
as
well.
W
A
W
So
when
the
kids
are
there,
they
would
push
the
button
and
the
sign
would
like
to
basically
alert
drivers
that
kids
are
getting
ready
to
cross
now,
because
what
happens
is
is
that
when
you
put
something
there
that
stays
there
all
the
time,
it
really
just
becomes
something
else.
That's
on
the
side
of
the
road.
I
mean
that
drivers
they
get
acclimated
to
it
and
then
they
just
drive
past
it.
W
So,
and
I
think
one
of
those
examples
is
you
see
the
the
flashing
yellow
lights
along
lake
avenue
in
wilmette
and
and
I
would
challenge
you
to
drive
down
that
that
strip
and
when
they're
flashing.
That
means
you
know
it's
time
to
slow
down
and
obey,
and
it's
not
a
whole
lot
of
that
happening
or
they
race
in
between
the
two
and
they
actually
have
it
for
the
whole
delineation.
W
There
are
some
additional
some
different
type
treatments
that
are
that
are
out
there
and
we
want
to
explore
with
with
idot
what
they
would
allow
us
to
do
in
terms
of
putting
a
different
type
of
treatment
to
to,
and
then
also
we
looked
at
a
special
sideway
side,
walk
marking
so
for
the
kids
to
know
whether
we
come
up
with
some
type
of
whatever
the
symbol
would
be,
we
would
also
give
it
give
them
a
sticker
at
the
beginning
of
the
school
year
to
say:
okay,
this
is
where
you're
supposed
to
cross,
and
I
think
that
that
would
be
very
helpful
in
in
making
sure
that
they
select
the
the
safest
alternative,
which
will
not
necessarily
be
the
closest
to
their
house,
so
that
that's
the
the
other
piece
is
that
you
know
it's
not
just
the
educating
the
children
in
the
school.
W
A
P
Yeah
it's
I
just.
It
strikes
me
as
we're
having
this
discussion
that
it's
all
mostly
about
controlling
driver,
behavior
and
all
of
the
signs
all
of
the
pavement
markings.
All
of
it
are
simply
reminders
of
the
law
that
every
driver
should
know
and
when
you
think
about
it,
it's
got
to
be
a
combination
of
engineering
to
solve
these
issues,
because
I
think
every
single
one
of
us
in
all
of
evanston
have
problematic
streets
and
problematic
drivers
and
you
get
complaints
about
the
speed
of
drivers
and
their
carelessness
and
callousness
and
lack
of
attention.
P
And
so
the
solutions
are
engineering
enforcement
and
then
education,
and
it's
still
with
everything
that
we've
invested
so
far.
We
still
get
so
many
complaints
about
mindless
driving
and,
and
I'm
still
stymied
as
to
how
you
address
it
all
together.
P
So,
as
I
tell
people
when
they
complain
to
me
and
they're,
asking
me
to
investigate
speed
humps,
I
ask
them
and
do
me
a
favor,
please
and
drive
everywhere
in
evanston.
The
way
that
you
would
like
people
to
drive
on
your
street
and
that
will
go
a
little
bit
to
solving
our
problem
because,
frankly,
the
people
who
are
speeding
on
your
street
and
you'd
like
to
put
speed
humps
in
to
prevent
them
from
speeding.
More
than
likely
simply
your
neighbors.
P
W
W
O
O
What
I'm
wondering
is,
as
we
decide
where
those
bump
outs
should
go
being
before
we
have
all
the
money
to
do
it,
but
they've
been
designated
as
places
for
bump
outs.
Could
we
do
a
temporary
measure
and
using
the
concrete
barriers?
Thank
you.
That's
what
that,
because
I
know
when
I'm
driving
on
the
highway
and
those
concrete
barriers
are
up.
I
know
I
slow
down
because
I'm
convinced
I'll
hit
them.
O
So
that
might
be
a
temporary
solution
and
I
know
particularly
on
the
oakton
and
barton
there's
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
issues
with
the
speeding
coming
across
after
they
cross
asbury,
and
I
think
if
they
there
was
concrete
barriers
there.
It
would
definitely
make
them
slow
down
in
a
way
that
a
stop
sign,
won't
or
a
crosswalk
in
the
middle
of
the
street
will
not
do,
and
I'm
not
sure
if
you've
explored
that
yeah.
W
We'll
have
to
take
a
look
at
that
as
well,
because
the
the
height
where
and
how
you
use
those
things
can
really
actually
increase
the
city's
liability
in
terms
of,
if
somebody
actually
hit
it.
So
it
becomes
a
a
safety
issue
and
there
are
certain
things
we
just
cannot
put
in
the
street
in
terms
of
the
the
speed
that
the
cars
are
going,
it
can
be
considered
an
obstruction
in
the
right
of
way
that
we're
actually
creating.
So
we
have
to
be
careful,
but
we
will
look
into
that.
W
D
And
I'll
just
point
out,
you
you,
along
the
lines
of
trying
to
be
careful.
You
also
want
to
be
careful
about
putting
things
in
the
street
that
are
going
to
push
a
bicycle
into
the
traffic
lane,
so
you
don't
want
to
get
too
too
far,
so
just
so
that
you're
pushing
up
basically
a
bike
into
the
cars.
So,
okay.
W
All
right,
so
the
next
crossing
are
the
uncontrolled
senior
crossings.
Basically,
they
have
the
same
very
similar
treatment
in
that
they
have
the
advance,
but
just
the
pedestrian
sign,
as
opposed
to
the
school
sign.
They
have
an
in-stream
sign
as
well
in
the
intersection
and
then
the
the
ladder
style,
visibili
visibility
marking
end.
They
all
have
bump
outs
except
one,
the
newest
one,
that
we
did
and
so
we're
proposing
to
complete
bump
outs
as
we
resurface
the
streets.
I
W
Uncontrolled
park
crossings-
and
this
is
something
that
that's
really
new
fairly
new
for
us
and
it
has
worked
really
well
and
that
is
we
have.
We
started
out
with
a
pilot
at
lovelace
park
and
for
the
longest
time
I
used
to
drive
up
and
down
ridge
to,
and
I
would
see
the
pedestrians,
particularly
in
the
wintertime
walking
their
dogs
trying
to
cross,
not
ridge
gross
point.
But
it
turns
in
the
ridge
gross
point
to
go
to
lovelace
park
and
they
would
stand
there.
W
Freezing
and
the
drivers
would
never
stop,
especially
in
the
morning
and
then
even
during
rush
hour,
and
so
the
the
augment
asked
us
to
take
a
look
at
at
that
that
intersection.
So
what
we
installed
was
an
a
flag
system
and
and
that's
the
treatment
that
has
worked
really
well
in
our
park
settings.
And
so
what
you
see
down
in
the
box
below.
W
What
year
and
a
half
that
we've
had
them
in
place
now
these
flags,
they
don't
cost
that
much,
but
the
kids
love
them.
So
what
you'll
see
is
that
the
toddler,
the
parent
will
let
the
toddler
engrave
the
flag
across
the
street
when
they
get
a
crop
they're
not
interested
in
giving
it
back.
They
want
to
wave
the
flag
all
the
way
to
the
beach.
W
We
recently
put
some
on
sheridan
road
at
a
crossing
and,
like
I
said
this
one
weekend
this
past
weekend,
we
lost
virtually
every
flag
so
because
the
the
kids
are
taking
them.
So
we
try
to
figure
out
how
to
get
what's
an
unattractive
flag.
Do
we
get
a
flag
with
holes
in
it,
but
I
think
that
kids
would
just
like
it
anyway.
If
it's
something
to
get.
W
So
great
idea,
so
anyway,
so
that
that
has
been
a
measure
that
that
we've
used
to
improve
that.
So
we
would
like
to
study
that
further
to
see
how
that
would
work
and
once
again
it
has
the
same
type
of
ladder,
style,
high
visibility
markings
as
well,
so
so
and
once
again
our
our
goal
is
to
eventually
you
know,
try
to
get
flags
placed
at
all
the
crossings
and
then
complete
the
the
bump
outs
and
the
cross.
W
The
the
flag
system
is
just
so
inexpensive
for
us
to
do,
and
I
will
say
that
I
think
that
chicago
I
saw
in
the
news
they
advertised
this
flag
system.
Of
course
they
didn't
give
us
credit,
because
we
did
ours
first,
but
that's
another
story,
we're
in
a
small
town,
but
but
I
think
they
put
it
at
a
very
busy
intersection.
I
think
that
and
they
were
having
trouble
getting
the
the
cars
to
stop.
W
But
I
think,
with
the
increased
visibility-
and
you
know,
sometimes
drivers
aren't
sure
that
you're
crossing
the
street,
because
sometimes
people
are
standing
there
and
and
so
that
by
waving
the
flag
you'll,
let
them
know
okay,
I'm
ready
to
cross
right
now.
So
then
they'll
slow
down
the
special
request
costing
crossings
are,
and
they
have.
W
They
really
are
the
the
locations
where
we've
had
end
street
signs
and
put
some
pump
bump
outs
in
and
we're
calling
them
special
requests
right
now
because
they're,
not
they
weren't
designated
school
crossing,
they
weren't
senior
crossings
and
so
we're
actually
going
to
take
a
look
at
either
folding
those
types
of
locations
into
another
category,
and
just
dispensing
of
that
once
we
can
characterize
what
that
is
better
and
then
the
remaining
uncontrolled
crossings
just
have
the
the
standard,
pedestrian
crossing
symbol
and
no
state
state
law
sign,
except
as
where
they
have
been
requested.
W
So
our
goal
is,
as
the
budget
allows,
we
would
complete
the
the
signage
throughout
the
city.
So
that
brings
us
to
our
recommendations.
The
first
recommendation.
We
want
to
establish
an
evaluation
committee
that
will
consist
of
northwestern's
traffic
institute,
an
outside
traffic
engineering
consultant.
W
So
what
the
evaluation
committee
would
take
a
look
at
is
our
priority
system,
which,
in
the
categories
that
I
described
to
you
earlier,
the
five
categories
that
we
have
look
at.
Do
they
make
sense
what
should
be
at
each
level
of?
I
don't
want
to
call
it
hierarchy,
but
the
the
priority
system
that
that
we
have
what
what
it
should
contain,
we're
going
to
do
a
review
of
the
the
safe
route
to
school
process
and
then
we're
going
to
also
reevaluate
the
the
crossing
guard
placements.
W
One
of
the
the
issues
that
that
we
struggle
with
as
it
relates
to
barton
and
oakland
in
particular,
is
that
in
it
should
be,
if
we're
going
to
sign
it
like
a
designated
school
crossing,
then
it
needs
a
crossing
guard.
At
least
that's
the
public
works
recommendation
based
on
the
volume
of
traffic
for
the
the
kids
for
it
to
be
the
safest
for
for
kids
to
cross,
particularly
for
that
age
population.
We
believe
that
it
needs
a
crossing
guard.
W
O
I
know
you've
not
been
all
that
excited
about
the
crosswalk
at
barton
and
oakton
because
of
the
of
feedback
you've
gotten
from
that
the
school
wants
them
to
cross
at
ridge
or
they
want
them
across
at
asbury
and
that
I
obviously
I'm
pretty
vocal
about
that.
That's
frustrating
for
me,
particularly
if
you
look
at
most
of
the
accidents
or
at
places
with
lighted
with
lights,
so
the
ridge
in
oakton
is
a
very
scary
place
to
to
cross
and
watching
students.
Say
they're
not
going
to
walk
that
far.
O
So
we
need
to
do
absolutely
something
because
many
of
the
kids
are
crossing
at
barton
and
oakton
and
we
need
to
find
a
way
to
make
it
safer,
particularly
with
the
kids.
Come
the
traffic
coming
once
again,
eastbound
on
oakton
with,
and
I
understand
the
crossing
guard
piece.
It
would
be
very
helpful
and
I've
brought
this
up
probably
three
years
now,
when
we
talk
about
crossing
guards,
I
I
don't
understand
where
the
pta
ever
these
schools
are
on
this.
I
don't
know
why
they're
not
coming
out
in
force.
O
O
I
appreciated
your
map
on
oakton,
the
map
that
you
put
and
from
james
park
all
the
way
to
ridge.
There's
only
three
blocks:
that's
either
not
a
park
or
a
school
there's
nowhere
else
in
the
city.
I
actually
went
and
looked
at
the
map
of
nowhere
else
and
18
percent
of
district
65
students
go
to
school
on
oakton.
O
I
think
it's
like
18.
Actually
0.2
percent
are
either
at
dawes,
chute
or
oakton.
So
you
have
a
a
huge
concentrated
population.
I've
asked
for
the
numbers
for
how
many
people
attend
james
park
and
the
lacroix
where
they
play
lacrosse
and
mr
gainer,
I
think,
was
out
of
town
and
hasn't
gotten
me.
Those
numbers
yet.
But
I'd
like
to
like
to
see
those
numbers
as
well
we're
talking
thousands
of
children.
O
Every
single
day
and
looking
at
the
safe
route
to
schools,
it
don't,
I
don't
think
it
addresses
the
real
migration
or
the
going
back
and
forth
to
these
these
parks.
So
who
would
the
evaluation
community
needs
to
talk
to
the
pta?
They
need
to
talk
to
the
parents
at
the
lacrosse
practices
they
need
to
talk
to
the
parents
going
to
james
park
that
are
parking
on
heart
tree
and
then
trying
to
dash
their
way
across
oakton
by
the
animal
shelter
or
by
aldi
versus
just
engineering
and
police.
O
I
obviously
you're
all
very
good
at
what
you
do,
but
it's
being
out
there
and
worried
about
your
kids
crossing
the
street
that
that
hits
a
little
home
more.
So
thank
you
for
putting
us
together.
I
just
once
again
have
have
huge
concerns
about
it,
not
just
being
an
academic
study,
but
really
out
there
looking
at
it
walking
it
thanks.
U
Suzette
we
count
cars
with
interns
and
staff
members.
Do
we
ever
count
pedestrians
crossing.
W
Yes,
we
we
did
with
the
the
placement
of
the
crossing
guards.
We
did
do
as
a
part
of
the
the
safe
route
to
school
study.
They
actually
did.
I
think
it
was
two
years
ago,
reggie,
yeah,
two
years
ago,
we
actually
did
look
at
where
the
the
children
were
crossing
and
that
kind
of
led
to
the
where
the
crossings
were
designated
and
whether
crossing
guards
were
placed
well.
Y
Y
U
You
know
if
it's
not
a
safe
place
to
cross,
I
think,
as
opposed
to
making
it
a
safer
place
than
it
is
that
we
ought
to
work
on
excluding
that
as
a
place
to
cross.
I
know
people
do
it.
People
are
talking
on
their
cell
phones.
U
The
little
girl
that
got
hit
over
there
was
in
a
crosswalk,
so
you
know
it
all
has
to
do
with
people
either
not
paying
attention
as
pedestrians,
and
that
includes
children
or
drivers
not
paying
any
attention
so
be.
I
would
really
like
to
know
how
many
people
are
crossing
their
kids
and
it
would
be
interesting
to
know
also
not
having
kids
in
the
school.
Now.
How
are
children
educated
about
where
not
to
cross?
Do
they
send
a
note
home
with
the
parents
and
hope
to
god
somebody
reads
it
or
that
it
actually
gets
so.
P
Grover,
I
think
I
can
answer
your
question.
Alden
reverse
about
where
the
parents
and
the
ptas
are
on
this.
The
the
parents
and
ptas
did
participate
in
a
number
of
meetings
as
part
of
our
safe
routes
to
school
application
process,
and
I
think
I
attended
the
meeting
at
shoot
school,
which
was
really
interesting,
got
good
feedback
from
the
folks
who
showed
up,
and
I'm
I'm
guessing
that
information
that
feedback.
Those
comments
are
buried
deep
in
your
safe
routes
to
school
files.
It
could
probably
be
reproduced
to
you
and
it
was
really
interesting.
P
P
So
the
safe
routes
to
school
program
has
to
do
with
education,
enforcement
encouragement
and
exactly
what
alderman
reigning
was
talking
about.
That
is
the
outreach
to
get
more
students
to
think
about
riding
the
bikes
to
school.
Let's
build
the
the
bike
hub
at
school,
so
you
can
stow
it
safely.
Let's
make
sure
everybody
knows
what
this
the
safe
routes
to
school
are
and
not
bury
them
in
the
school
website
or
the
district
65
website.
So
that's.
P
A
O
I
was
asking
about
not
only
feedback
for
the
pta
but
also
volunteers
and
where
the
parents
on
the
street
of
helping
at
the
crosswalks,
where
are
they
helping
even
at
the
parks,
to
help
kids
get
across,
where
I
just
think
we
could
be
asking
the
pta
to
do
sign
ups,
even
if
it's
with
the
crossing
guards
that
we're
paying,
but
also
at
the
non
the
non
places
that
we
know
that
they're
crossing,
I
would
assume
that
their
their
want
to
be
just
as
involved
with
the
pedestrian
safety.
O
As
we
do,
I
mean
district
65
continues
to
be
silent.
You
know
what
we've
heard
from
them
over
and
over
again
is
we
we're
take
over
once
the
kids
get
onto
our
property,
but
outside
of
that
they're
hands
off?
O
P
And
if
I
may
it
a
lot
of
that
depends
on
the
school
culture.
So
I
know
at
willard
school
they
have
a
pretty
elaborate
student
crossing
guard
program
where
the
older
students
actually
do
put
on
vests
and
help
their
younger
students
cross.
I
was
unable
to
organize
anything
like
that
at
kingsley
school,
so
it
depends
upon
the
school.
It
depends
upon
the
tradition,
but
I
think
some
of
the
safe
rats
educational
fund
is
going
to
help
us
start.
Some
of
these
programs
at
the
other
schools.
U
P
U
Public
works,
I
I've
I've
been
on
the
public
works
committee
since
1983.,
and
it
would
seem
to
me
that
there
would
have
been
more
because
in
in
our
ward
in
colleen's
word
in
mind,
I
mean
traffic
on
oakton
is
just
like
one
of
the
biggest
issues,
and
it
would
be
nice
if
you
ever
have
another
meeting
like
this
to.
Let
us
know
about
it.
U
W
And
we
did
inform
council
along
the
way
what
we
were
doing
and
and
got
the
the
go-ahead
to
do
what
we
were
doing.
But.
W
Everything
was
done
by
public
notice.
I
just
don't
know
if
the
council
pac,
if
the
flyer
went
in
the
council,
the
friday
packet
as
a
part
of
that
in
terms
of
identifying
the
but
I'll
find
out
for
sure
if
that
that
occurred,
but
they,
but
they
were
all
noticed
as
public
meetings
and
and
the
public.
U
W
I
left
off
was
the
the
placement
of
the
permanent
radar
speed
displays
along
certain
routes.
We
want
to
evaluate
like
on
church
and
on
oakton,
where
we
have
a
long
stretch
instead
of
having
the
the
mobile
the
mobile
splee
display
signs
that
we've
been
using
have
really
been
quite
effective.
So
now
we're
going
to
look
at
still
maintaining
those
and
kind
of
moving
those
around
in
some
of
the
other
areas,
but
also
looking
at
permanent
placement
in
locations.
W
We
would
also
identify
additional
sidewalk
bump
out
locations
and
then
we're
going
to
have
a
discussion
about
the
city-wide
speed
reduction
at
25
miles
an
hour
to
see
you
know
what
the
the
benefit
and
we
have
to
do-
a
cost
benefit
associated
with
that,
because
there's
a
lot
of
signs
that
that
would
have
to
be
changed
over.
So
we
would
also
evaluate
that
and
come
back
and
give
you
a
report
on
on
that
as
well.
G
Thank
you,
madam
mayor
suzette.
I
know
that
in
germany
they
have
radar,
detecting
machines
that
when
you
exceed
the
speed
limit
for
by
a
certain
amount,
it
takes
your
picture,
the
picture
of
your
license
plate
and
it
issues
you
a
ticket
well,
no
different
than
a
red
light
camera.
Actually
this
is
the
radar,
the
radar,
your
speed.
Is
it
actually
photographs
your?
I
mean
it.
Acts
like
a
red
light
camera
except
it's
it's.
G
You
know
it
is
it's
attached
to
a
radar
screen
and
in
washington
dc
along
connecticut
avenue,
for
any
of
you
who
are
very
familiar,
which
is
a
long
long
stretch
wide
streets.
They
have
the
equivalent
of
speed
cameras
hanging
across
the
street
and
if
you
go
over
under
them
exceeding
the
speed
limit
by
a
certain
amount,
you'll
get
a
flash
and
you'll
see
a
flash
and
you
you
are
issued
a
ticket
for
speeding.
G
So
where,
where
are
those
devices
used
like
the
your
speed?
Is
that
spit
out
a
ticket?
Besides,
germany.
W
Chicago
I
mean
chicago
just
recently
passed
that
passed
the
law
to
to
do
that
in
around
school
designated
school
crossings.
W
I'm
pretty
sure
that
the
technology
is
there
that
they're
taking
pictures.
Now
we
can
add
that
to
the
evaluation
list.
I
did
not
because
speed
cameras
have
been
off
limits
at
your
direction
in
the
past,
so
that
that's
why
we
didn't
address
that.
But
we
can
certainly
take
a
look
at
the
technology
and
report
back
to
you
and
add
that.
G
I'm
just
curious
as
to
how
much
it
costs.
Okay,
I
mean
I'm
not
necessarily
an
advocate
of
it.
I
think
that
there
are
other
ways
in
which
we've
slowed
traffic
down,
but
you
know
if
we
have
chronic
speeding,
then
maybe
that's
that's
what
we
have
to
look
at.
K
Okay,
alderman
braithwaite
and.
W
Well,
the
fact
that
it's
push
button,
I
think
it
would
be
more
effective.
Okay,
you
know,
because
it
if
it
when
it's
lit
all
the
time
like
I
said
it
just,
but
because
it
was
just
push
button,
but
when
we
go
back
and
evaluate
the
sign,
we'll
also
evaluate
where
they're
existing
what
their
experience
is.
I
will
report
all
of
that
back
to
you.
U
Rainey
suzette:
what
is
the
sign
that,
when
you
drive
north
on
on
dodge
right
now,
that's
flashing
your
speed?
What
what
are
the
speed
radar,
how.
N
W
U
I'm
not
sure
about
that,
but
if
you
think
so,
okay,
but
while
it's
there,
it
definitely
has
an
effect
on
traffic
and
it's
more
effective
than
for
example.
You
know
people
want
to
speed
humban
oakton.
I
think
this
does
exactly
what
speed
humps
do.
It
causes
you
to
slow
to
the
to
the
sweet,
speed
limit.
V
Z
Fisk.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thanks
rosette.
I
just
have
a
few
miscellaneous
comments.
As
in
the
past,
I
would
certainly
support
the
reduced
speed
limit
to
25
miles
an
hour
throughout
the
city.
I
think
it's
a
good
idea.
I
think
it
addresses
a
number
of
problems.
I
don't
think
the
signage.
Z
Basically,
we
could
have
25
mile
per
hour
limits
posted
at
each
entry
to
the
city
and
that's
it,
but
I
think
it
it
addresses
areas,
especially
where
you
have
a
25
mile,
an
hour
postings
close
to
30
mile
per
hour
postings,
where
you
have
people
cutting
back
and
forth,
trying
to
get
to
the
higher
higher
speed
limit
route.
So
I
think
it
will
help
you
know
residential
neighborhoods
in
the
long
run.
Z
So
I'd
really
like
to
like
to
take
a
look
at
that
the
alderman
win.
They
have
those
in
switzerland
too,
and
I'll
tell
you
there's
for
even
mild-mannered
switzerland.
People
get
incredibly
angry
at
those
cameras
and
in
some
cases
I've
even
seen
them
shot
out.
So
I
think
we'd
want
to.
I
know
it's
just.
Do
you
think
switzerland,
my
gosh,
but
yeah,
I've
seen
them,
but
I'd
like
to
know
if
we're
going
to
pursue
that
a
little
bit
of
experience
from
some
communities
who
have
used
them
in
terms
of
maintenance
costs.
W
So
we
would,
the
committee
will
hold
a
a
public
meeting
or
a
public
information
meeting
mid
to
late
july
and
kind
of
provide
the
preliminary
information
get
feedback
from
the
public.
At
that
point
and
I'll
present
a
report
to
back
to
council
at
a
special
meeting.
As
I
indicated
on
august
6th,
and
then
we
would
develop
a
implementation
plan
and
try
to
complete
as
many
of
those
feasible
recommendations
that
we
could
prior
to
the
start
of
school
for
2012..
AA
W
I
was
not,
I
included
those
for
for
your
information
and
then,
if
there
are
additional
areas
where
you
would
like
us
to
study
either
you
can
email
me
or
tell
me
now
and
we
will
add
whatever.
If
there's
an
intersection,
even
if
it's
not
related
to
the
safe
route
to
school,
I
will
incorporate
we're
going
to
look
at
all
the
those
that
are
designated
and
then
whatever
else
you
would
like
us
to
take
a
look
at.
AA
AA
Okay,
but
I
do
have
some
other
questions
to
ask
you
about
and
we'll
I
can
email
those
to
you,
but
I
would
like
to
be
part
of
this
process
a
little
more
in
terms
of
the
safe
routes.
Okay,
thank
you.
Z
Y
Yes,
well
on
at
intersections.
What
we
do
is
for
especially
for
pedestrian
safety.
Y
We
have
started
adding
the
countdown
signals,
so
that
gives
a
better
indication
to
the
pedestrian,
how
many
seconds
they
have
to
cross
the
street
or
to
you
know
before
they
start
crossing
the
street.
We
also
depend
on
location,
use,
a
walking
speed
and
normally
it's
three
and
a
half.
We
use
three
and
a
half
feet
per
second,
but
the
federal
standards
might
use
four
feet
per
second,
so
it's
slightly
lower
the
walking
speed
rate,
and
then
we
measure
the
crossing
distance
the
street.
Y
So
we
make
sure
that
we
have
enough
walk
time
once
the
pedestrian.
You
know
the
further
don't
walk
signal.
Once
the
breath
starts
crossing.
They
have
enough
time
to
make
it
across.
Y
Z
And
then,
in
terms
of
just
timing
of
signals
along
a
long
stretch
of
road
like
ridge
or
asberry,
does
that
play
a
role
in.
Y
Y
The
timing
is
allows
we
try
to
control
the
speed
on
it's
about
27
miles
per
hour.
So
if
a
car
starts
at
one
hit
at
27
miles
per
hour,
the
first
few
cars
in
the
platoon
of
cars
should
be
able
to
make
it
at
least
still
main
street
and
then
when
it
then
it
sort
of
breaks
down
because
of
the
different
type
of
phasing
we've
had
to
do
at
main
street
and
oakton
street.
So.
Z
Y
C
E
Members
of
the
council.
We
have
one
final
presentation
this
evening
before
the
the
item
that
was
continued
from
the
last
meeting
and
that's
catherine
hurley.
Our
director
of
sustainability
is
here
with
an
update
on
your
council
goal
regarding
the
climate
action
plan
good
evening.
AB
AB
Good,
I'm
okay
being
coordinator,
because
I
think
that
really
describes
the
job
that
I
have
coordinating
with
all
the
different
departments
and
with
members
of
the
community.
AB
So,
as
was
stated,
I'm
here
to
provide
an
update
on
the
climate
action
plan,
and
this
is
going
to
focus
on
the
city
and
the
community's
activities
in
the
calendar
year,
2011.,
so
we're
obviously
already
in
june,
but
we
had
a
lot
of
activities
going
on
with
electricity
aggregation
early
earlier
this
year.
So
when
we
come
back
next
year,
we'll
include
everything.
That's
happened
to
date.
AB
I'd
also
really
like
to
acknowledge
and
thank
all
of
the
members
of
our
staff
and
of
the
whole
community
that
have
really
helped
together
as
a
team
to
implement
this
plan.
220
different
strategies
is
quite
a
lot
of
items
even
for
a
community
of
our
size,
and
so
it's
been
a
really
great
team
effort
for
everyone
working
together.
AB
Since
adoption
of
the
plan,
the
city
staff
and
community
partners
have
been
working
hard
to
implement
the
plan
and
progress.
That's
happened
in
the
last
three
years
have
especially
been
rewarded
in
2011
with
several
prestigious
awards.
I've
listed
them
all
on
this
slide.
Among
these
awards,
the
u.s
conference
of
mayors,
climate
protection
award
was
particularly
prestigious.
AB
Evanston
was
selected
out
of
a
pool
of
130
applicants
from
across
the
country
and,
as
you
may
remember,
the
award
sponsor
walmart
provided
a
fifteen
thousand
dollar
cash
check
that
went
to
citizens
for
greener
evanston
to
help
continued
support
of
the
implementation
of
the
plan,
so
that
was
pretty
prestigious
and
also
worth
highlighting.
That
evanston
is
among
the
top
ten
illinois
communities
that
have
the
longest
consecutive
recognition
from
the
arbor
day
foundation
for
our
protection
of
trees.
AB
Implementation
of
the
combat
action
plan
can
be
summarized
both
in
our
measurable
measurable
results
from
emissions
of
our
reduction
of
our
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
as
well
as
some
of
the
specific
programs
and
projects
I'm
going
to
talk
about
both
of
those
for
the
city's
operations.
Emissions
have
been
steadily
decreasing
since
2005,
as
you
can
see
on
this
slide,
and
we've
reduced
emissions
by
24
since
2005,
with
11
percent
reductions
in
the
last
three
years
alone.
So
significant
progress
has
been
made
there.
AB
So
that
was
related
to
the
city's
operational
missions.
The
city's
operational
missions
are
actually
only
two
percent
of
the
whole
community-wide
emissions.
So
it's
really
great
that
evanson
as
a
city
as
a
employer
is
being
a
leader,
but
we
also
have
to
look
what's
going
on
the
wider
community,
so
across
the
community
we
can
divide
our
emissions
into
residential
and
commercial
energy
and
then
transportation.
AB
AB
So
for
residential
properties,
we
can
see
about
a
three
percent
reduction
in
the
collection
of
waste
volume.
So
that's
a
good
start.
We
obviously
would
like
to
do
more
and
we'll
continue
to
work
to
not
only
promote
recycling,
make
sure
that
we're
also
promoting
the
waste
reduction
strategies
before
we
even
get
to
the
point
of
having
to
choose
recycling.
AB
AB
As
I
also
said,
the
solar
pv
project
is
generating
about
30
000
kilowatt
hours
of
electricity
per
year,
and
you
also
may
recall
that
evanston
city
council
authorized
as
part
of
the
purchase
of
electricity
for
the
city's
largest
20
buildings
for
25
of
that
energy
to
be
offset
with
renewable
energy
certificates,
so
energy
for
our
largest
buildings,
25
percent
of
that
is
being
offset
with
greener
energy.
AB
So
now,
looking
at
the
community
impact,
as
I
said,
the
city's
operational
missions
are
only
two
percent,
so
the
community
is
much
larger
again.
We've
also
seen
reductions
in
both
electricity
and
natural
gas
emissions
and
similarly
to
the
city.
Northwestern
universities
also
purchased
renewable
energy
certificates
to
help
offset
some
of
their
energy
usage
as
well.
AB
Two
other
factors
that
I
wanted
to
incorporate
this
year
is
to
look
at
how
we're
doing
with
public
transit
ridership
because,
as
we've
been
talking,
one
of
the
great
ways
to
help
promote
alternate
forms
of
transportation
that
have
lower
emissions
is
through
public
transportation.
So
this
was
based
on
information
that
was
available
through
cta
and
pace
in
a
online
and
in
a
publicly
accessible
format,
but
both
the
cta
ridership
on
the
purple
line
and
pace
ridership
for
the
main
buses
in
evanston
have
both
seen
an
increase.
AB
I
was
not
able
to
get
data
for
the
metra
as
they
have
a
little
bit
of
different
system
of
quantifying
their
ridership,
but
that's
something
we
can
work
on
for
next
year.
So
total
emissions
at
the
community-wide
level
are
right,
around
36,
000,
metric
tons
or
the
equivalent
about
seven
thousand
passenger
vehicles.
AB
So
when
you
add
those
two
together,
total
emission
reductions
below
our
baseline
about
forty
two
thousand
metric
tons
or
the
equivalent
of
eight
thousand
two
hundred
and
forty
five
passenger
vehicles
and
if
you'll
remember
from
some
of
the
information
from
last
year,
we
were
less
than
a
thousand
passenger
vehicles.
For
the
city
and
in
the
7
000
range
for
the
community,
so
I
compared
this
back
to
2005
because
that's
our
our
baseline,
the
standard
procedure,
but
every
year
we
continue
to
make
increased
decreases
in
our
emissions.
AB
Also
important
to
note
that
the
city
has
replaced
our
regular
diesel
with
biodiesel
b20
and
this
diesel
fuel
b20
has
much
lower
emissions
than
regular
biodiesel.
So
that's
also
a
good
thing,
so
all
of
these
projects
have
primarily
been
completed
with
grant
money
from
the
department
of
energy
and
the
illinois
department
of
commerce
and
economic
opportunity,
and
so
money
spent
in
the
last
two
and
a
half
years
is
about
850
000
from
grant
funding.
AB
So
a
few
highlights
in
this
section,
with
using
a
grant
as
well
the
city
updated
the
bicycle
route
and
parking
map,
as
we
can
see
on
the
left
and
had
5000
copies
produced
from
the
grant
which
the
city's
been
handing
out
at
community
centers
here
at
the
civic
center
at
car
free
day
and
getting
out
to
the
community,
and
we
had
summer
volunteer
some
of
the
summer.
Youth,
employment
and
some
other
interns
go
out
and
do
an
inventory
of
bike
racks
to
help
encourage
people
to
park
at
the
bike
rack.
AB
So
on
this
map
there,
the
red
dots
are
related
to
where
bike
maps
bike
racks
are
located,
and
then
the
size
of
the
it's
actually
a
square.
The
size
of
the
square
indicates
how
many
bikes
can
fit
there.
So
the
bigger
the
square,
the
more
racks
and
the
enlargement
on
the
lower
left
is
of
the
downtown
area
to
help
direct
people
to
those
bike
racks.
AB
The
city
continues
to
support
and
increase
car
sharing,
and
our
pool
of
I
go
on
car
share.
Cars
has
increased
and
the
city's
continue
to
partner
with
other
organizations
on
events
such
as
bike,
the
ridge
bike
to
work
week
and
car
free
day
to
help
give
people
that
extra
motivation
to
get
out
and
choose
something
else.
AB
Energy
efficiency
is
promoted
across
the
community
by
building
partnerships
and
again
working
on
low
cost
or
no
cost
programs.
The
city's
green
building
ordinance
is
a
great
example
of
a
very
low
cost
program
that
helps
promote
the
use
of
energy
efficiency
technologies
in
buildings.
So
this
side
on
the
left
shows
what
I
would
call
our
our
lead
scorecard
for
u.s
green
buildings.
AB
So
with
residential
and
commercial
energy
usage
representing
81
percent
of
our
whole
community
missions,
helping
to
promote
buildings
to
be
as
efficient
as
possible
when
they
either
get
built
or
renovated,
is
a
tremendous
opportunity
for
the
city,
and
we
should
continue
to
see
more
buildings.
Get
added
to
our
lead,
lead
scorecard.
AB
AB
AB
The
two
winning
teams
were
evanston
hospital
for
the
biggest
team
and
the
high
school
for
the
most
energy
savings
per
team.
Member
and
amber
knapp
of
the
north
shore
team
and
mary
spodin
of
the
evanston
high
school
team
each
were
awarded
a
check
which
totaled
their
energy,
their
electricity
usage
from
the
previous
year,
and
this
is
a
picture
of
amber
from
the
hospital
with
mayor
tisdale
receiving
the
check
for
her
bill
from
the
previous
year.
AB
Another
great
hallmark
of
the
implementation
of
the
climate
action
plan
and
sustainability
in
evanston
has
been
the
city's
think
green,
greater
recycling
in
evan,
every
evanston
neighborhood,
which
is
a
hallmark
of
the
public
works
department
and
invention
of
director
robinsons,
and
this
is
the
logo
on
the
top
of
the
of
the
slide,
is
what's
going
on
all
the
branding.
So
there's
been
several,
I
think
key
projects
in
this
category
that
have
really
made
a
significant
impact
on
our
numbers.
AB
First
and
foremost,
the
95
gallon
recycling
containers
that
really
helped
all
the
community
to
provide
bigger
capacity,
because
people
quite
frankly
wanted
to
recycle
more.
They
can
fit
in
the
little
bin.
So
that's
been
a
huge
success
and
then
this
year,
using
again
federal
grant
resources,
public
works
was
able
to
complement
those
bins
at
home
by
having
recycling
on
the
go
in
the
upper
left
hand
corner.
We
have
the
picture
of
the
business
district
and
the
park
just
park
recycling
container.
So
now
everywhere
we
go
around
the
community.
We
see
a
garbage.
AB
Can
we
see
the
recycling
container
out
in
public,
so
people
can
make
it
even
easier
to
recycle
the
recycling
pamphlet
on
the
far
right
and
the
composting
guide
in
the
middle
both
were
created
this
year
in
2011,
with
staff
and
as
well
numerous
copies
printed
with
grant
money
again
so
great
opportunity
to
get
educational
materials
paid
for
by
grants
and
in
the
lower
left-hand
picture.
That's
a
picture
of
electronics.
Hopefully
these
are.
AB
These
were
going
to
the
recycling
recycling
program,
but
for
the
several
continuous
years
the
city
has
been
promoting
paper
shredding
as
well
as
electronics
recycling
in
the
last
two
years.
Public
works
has
enhanced
this
program.
To
also
be
a
wider,
public
works
fair.
So
the
event
is
going
to
be
this
year
on
july
14th
and
we're
partnering
with
evanson
high
school.
AB
The
last
category
of
the
climate
action
plan
is
a
little
bit
of
a
catch-all.
It's
called
land,
water
and
food.
So
there
are
a
few
highlights
that
I
put
up
that
the
city
had
from
2011.
You
may
recall
the
new
indoor
farmer
and
artisan
food
market
that
was
started
in
the
ecology
center,
so
at
the
end
of
the
season,
when
people
were
getting
cold
and
the
outdoor
farmers
market
closed
and
people
could
then
go
inside,
and
that
was
a
big
success
with
the
support
of
the
water
department.
AB
The
tap
water
campaign
to
promote
tap
water
and
evanson
has
continued
and
they
estimate
that
over
1
000
water
bottles,
the
reusable
nice
water
bottles
were
handed
out
at
events,
including
bike,
the
ridge,
the
green
living
festival,
paint
evanston,
purple
tours
of
the
water
treatment
plant
and
the
evanston
grand
prix.
So
again,
getting
people
reusable
water
bottles
to
help
promote
our
own
tap
water,
as
well
as
help
reduce
waste
by
single-use
bottles
and
you'll
be
hearing.
Hopefully,
in
a
couple
weeks
about
the
results
of
the
chicago
metropolitan
agency
for
planning
water
efficiency
plan.
AB
As
I
mentioned
the
beginning,
220
different
strategies.
This
is
an
awful
lot
of
things
that
one
could
focus
on
so
after
working
with
the
city
manager
and
members
of
the
community,
and
really
evaluating
what
that
breakdown
is
of
how
we
generate
emissions
trying
to
come
up
with
two
specific
priority
areas
and
then
two
more
sustaining
actions,
and
so
I'm
definitely
looking
for
feedback
and
hopefully,
support
on
on
these
four
areas.
AB
The
best
thing
we
can
do
is
help
leverage,
those
existing
programs
and
resources
and
have
evanstonians
be
able
to
take
advantage
of
those
monies.
So
the
first
thing
is
to
continue
to
partner
with
cub
citizens
utility
board
and
their
cub
energy
saver
online
tool.
I'd
like
to
set
a
goal
of
a
thousand
new
households
to
participate
working
with
cub
and
getting
out
in
the
community.
AB
Everyone
has
completely
maxed
out
so
definitely
opportunity
there
and
then
the
second
strategy
is
to
really
work,
like
I
said,
with
the
utilities
and
the
other
state
and
federal
agencies
that
have
energy
efficiency
programs
that
provide
financial
incentive,
whether
that
be
a
rebate
for
installing
a
specific
energy
efficiency
device
or
newer
energy,
star
appliance
or
more
customized
programs
that
provide
energy
audits
and
then
assistance
to
help
do
weatherization
and
retrofit.
So
I'd
like
to
focus
on
trying
to
get
about
500
customers
to
help
redeem
a
wide
variety
of
incentives.
AB
And
then
the
second
strategy
is
to
really
help
continue
to
reinforce
all
the
infrastructure
we've
put
in
for
waste
production
recycling
and
help
support
an
education
and
outreach
effort
to
help
people
continue
to
do
the
right
thing.
Public
works
has
set
a
10,
000
ton,
recycling
goal,
and
so
I
think
it's
important
to
help
support
that
wider
goal.
We're
about
9
200
tons
right
now,
which
is
great
it'll,
be
really
great
to
reach
the
10
000
ton
goal
and
then
also,
in
addition
to
recycling,
help
support
further
efforts
to
reduce
material
out
of
the
landfill.
AB
AB
We
can
definitely
work
on
getting
some
of
our
materials
that
aren't
already
in
spanish
and
spanish
and
making
sure
that
we're
not
only
preaching
the
message
about
sustainability
and
energy
and
cost
savings
to
the
same
people,
but
to
new
audiences.
And
so
I
think,
if
we
do
these,
these
two
things
in
the
other
two
programs,
we
will
continue
to
work
towards
meeting
our
goals
and
then
one
last
note
on
partnerships.
AB
I
wanted
to
reiterate
again
that
the
implementation
of
the
plan
is
really
a
whole
community
effort
from
city
council
and
the
mayor
to
the
city
staff
and
to
all
of
our
citizen
groups
that
come
to
participate
in
the
green
living
festival
or
volunteer
at
the
recycling.
Fair
really
takes
the
whole
community
and
I
really
cannot
thank
them
enough
for
all
the
effort
and
volunteer
hours
that
have
been
have
been
put
in
because
it's
been
tremendous.
Z
AB
So
the
project
that
we
have
our
agreement
is
with
igo
the
car
sharing
company
and
the
money
that
they
have
for
the
project.
Some
of
it
comes
from
the
department
of
commerce
and
economic
opportunity
so,
for
example,
the
solar
canopy
they
have
money
themselves,
but
the
installation
of
the
charging
stations
is
part
of
a
bigger
project
that
the
city
of
chicago
administered,
so
a
large
federal
grant
to
help
stimulate
electric
vehicle
deployment.
So
the
part
of
the
project
with
the
city
of
chicago
they've
been
having
trouble
having
the
company
350
green.
AB
That
has
that
contract
with
them
to
install
the
charging
stations
from
completing
their
work.
So
we
got
the
initial
underground
infrastructure
in
place
and
the
next
then
step
was
to
have
the
350
green
partner.
Put
the
charging
stations
in,
and
our
timing
just
happened
to
be
that
they
were
running
out
of
money.
So
right
now,
igo
is
100
committed
to
finishing
the
project
and
they
have
money
for
the
canopy
and
for
the
work
associated
with
that
piece
and
they're
working
to
go
back
to
their
the
funder.
AB
That's
separate
from
the
chicago
project
to
be
able
to
complete
the
project,
so
I
just
actually
spoke
with
sharon
feigen
last
week
and
she
100
assured
me
that
they
have
a
plan
for
moving
forward
without
350
green
all
lined
up
and
are
just
waiting
for
their
funders
to
basically
release
the
funds.
So
I'm
basically
touching
base
with
her
on
a
weekly
basis
to
get
updates.
AB
But
she's
assured
me
that
the
project
will
be
completed
and
that
they're
going
to
be
moving
forward
without
waiting
for
what
might
happen
with
the
chicago
project.
So,
but
our
contract
is
with
our
whole.
Contract
is
with
with
igo
so
they're
on
there
and
they're
very
viable
company
and
are
part
of
center
for
neighborhood
technology.
So
we
will
definitely
get
our
project
completed.
But
as
soon
as
I
have
more
details,
I'll
be
able
to.
Let
you
guys
know.
P
Alderman
grover.
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
Thank
you,
miss
hurley
in
our
efforts
to
divert
as
much
waste
as
possible
from
landfill
to
recycling
or
to
compost.
What
I
found
very
effective
is
labeling
in
a
couple
places,
I've
seen
a
recycling
bin
right
next
to
a
garbage
bin,
but
the
garbage
is
labeled
landfill
and
it
certainly
made
me
think
more
than
once
about
whether
what
I
was
throwing
away
was
appropriate
for
recycling
or
landfill
and
we
label
our
recycling
bins
and
we
label
our
compost
bins.
P
V
V
Sorry,
the
parking
and
also
deleting
two
two
flats
is
that
two
flats,
those
were
the
things
that
we
needed
to
bring
back
before
the
council.
That,
and
particularly
in
terms
of
the
distance,
I
think
alderman
rainey
wanted
to
bring
that
as
a
discussion
before
the
whole
council.
G
G
A
E
U
U
Is
my
understanding?
It
would
be
linear,
so
the
circle
is
really
not
that
descriptive
other
than
showing
you
how
far
in
this
direction
or
how
far
in
that
direction,
because
there
are
there
are
there,
are
addresses
in
the
circle
that
are
like
10
feet
from
an
address
outside
the
circle.
So
I
think
that
the
circle
is
really
really.
What
we
have
to
do
more
is
a,
I
don't
know
a
starburst
or
whatever,
but
the
circle
does
not
describe
it.
U
O
And
as
I
emailed
to
both
you
mayor
tisdale
and
mr
bobquitz,
I
was
requesting
that
the
final
action
be
held
until
the
july
9th
meeting,
as
I
will
not
be
able
to
be
at
the
next
council
meeting,
and
I
feel
that
this
is
an
extremely
important
issue
and
I
know
that
alderaan
went
at
the
last
meeting.
You
would
ask
something
to
be
held
for
aldrin
grover
to
be
here
and
I'd
like
that
to
be
extended
courtesy.
Thank
you.
U
K
U
For
example,
and
I'm
being
serious,
I'm
I'm
not
being
facetious.
But
if
you
look
if
this,
if
this
target
has
any
meaning
and
and
I
can't
see
that
it
does
other
than
I
don't
know,
if
you
look-
let's
say
let's
say
at
1201.
U
U
AC
Thank
you,
madam
members
of
the
council.
The
map
only
represented
one
example
of
235,
that's
in
the
center
of
it.
So
so
the
the
question
is
is
if
there
were,
if
you
go
with
the
500
foot,
for
example,
you
you
see
that
distance
there.
So
if
anything
within
that
500
foot
ring
proposes
a
bed
and
breakfast
it
would
be
too
close.
So
so
it
we.
We
do
this
when
we
do
advertising,
for
example,
with
our
gis
staff,
so
that
we
make
sure
we
do
these
notices
for
everything
within
500
feet.
P
P
Did
count
up
the
number
of
addresses
just
in
this
hypothetical
within
750
feet
and
there
were
between
140
and
150
addresses
within
the
750
foot
radius
of
of
this
hypothetical
address.
So
how
does
it
work
if
the
750
feet,
I
guess
if
it
just
gets
to
any
address,
that
it
would
fall
within
the
exclusion.
AC
K
AC
5785
m
it:
it
is
the
operating
section
of
the
the
ordinance
so
distance,
no
bed
and
breakfast
establishment
shall
be
permitted
within
750
feet
of
another
bed
and
breakfast
establishment.
So
very
unfortunately,
it
wouldn't
be
the
structure.
It'd
be
the
piece
of
the
property.
So
if
any
piece
of
the
property.
P
AC
Was
where
they
would
propose?
We
would
judge
that
to
be
too
close.
AC
G
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
griffin.
This
is
this
is
the
way
that
we
determine
whether
someone
is
a
legal
objector
when
they
come
before
the
zba
or
the
planned
commission.
If,
if
any
portion
of
your
property
is
it
with
within
the
distance
notice
distance,
you
are
a
legal
objector,
your
house
doesn't
have
to
be
in
within
the
circle.
AC
Yeah
for
for
home
care
facilities.
G
Yes,
that
so
it
isn't
the
structure
itself,
because
the
structure
can
be
anywhere
on
the
parcel
so,
but
this
is
the
standard
way
that
this
operates
throughout
our
code,
so
any
property
that
is
any
portion
of
it.
That's
within
the
circle
becomes
a
property
that
it
is
that
is
prohibited
from
that
activity.
G
G
G
And
I'll
add
one
more
thing,
and
I
said
this
at
the
subcommittee
that
at
the
bed
and
breakfast
you
know,
I
think,
we're
struggling
and
struggling
over
how
someone
can
run
a
bed
and
breakfast-
and
I
don't
see
it
as
the
city,
the
city's
job
as
to
allow
or
come
up
with
the
most
open
possibility
for
someone
who
owns
a
single
family
residence
to
convert
it
to
a
bed.
And
breakfast
I
mean
you
purchase
your
home
in
a
single
family
in
an
r1
single
family
district.
G
You
have
certain
expectations
about
that
when
we
permit
bed
and
breakfast
with
great
frequency
that
alters
what
your
expectation
is
when
you
purchase
a
single
family
home.
So
I
don't
know
that
why
we
are
bending
over
backwards
to
permit
people
to
open
as
many
of
these
as
possible
in
our
single
family,
r1
districts.
G
So
750
feet
to
me
is
a
reasonable
distance.
It's
less
than
we
require
for
other
special
permitted
uses
that
we
already
recognize
in
our
code
are
different
than
having
a
single
family
residential
neighborhood
750
feet.
It
may
look
like
a
long
distance,
but
it's
not
750.
A
typical
block
in
evanston
is
600
feet.
So
when
you're
looking
at
750
feet,
it
may
look
like
a
big
circle,
but
you
know
what
you
walk
it
enough
in
no
time
at
all.
U
I
think
it's
interesting
in
a
little
prejudicial
that
this
circle
is
in
the
location
that
it's
in
and
I'm
going
to
take
the
the
side
of
a
bed
and
breakfast
operator
or
a
person
who
desires
to
and
put
it
in
another
neighborhood,
where
the
homes
are
much
more
much
smaller,
where
they
are
more
close
together
and
in
that
750
or
500
feet,
you're
going
to
discriminate
and
exclude
a
lot
more
possibilities.
U
There
aren't
other
neighborhoods
that
have
r1
districts
that
could
have
been
used,
but
instead
this
neighborhood
was
used.
I
don't
think
this
neighborhood
is
entitled
to
anything
more
than
any
other
neighborhood
is
and
if
you,
if
just
go
over
to
chicago,
but
just
put
it
put
something
in
dempster
and
what
dumpster
a
dempster
in
hinman
and
then
draw
that
750..
U
U
U
I
can't
remember
which
about
bed
and
breakfasts
that
have
been
put
into
these
mansions
in
out
in
detroit,
and
they
they
have
done
such
fabulous
things
to
invigorate
the
community
and
in
no
way
take
away
from
it,
and
so
it
it
just
seems
a
little
uppity
to
me
to
hear
how
devastating
the
presence
of
a
bed
and
breakfast
five
bedroom
bread
and
bed
and
breakfast
is
going
to
be
on
hamlin
and
whatever,
because
that's
not
going
to
happen.
U
Bed
and
breakfasts
attract
a
certain
kind
of
person
and
they're,
not
revelers,
so
I
think
we
ought
to
take
a
step
back
and
think
about
what
we're
saying
here
and
also
I
don't
have
any
problem
with
the
owner
of
property,
not
running
them
as
long
as
a
person
who
is
a
highly
skilled,
qualified
hotel
operator
or
runs
the
bed
and
breakfast
I
I
would
be,
I
could
have
a
bed
and
breakfast
in
my
house.
I
have
four
bedrooms.
U
I
could
use
three
for
bed
and
breakfast
I
couldn't,
I
know
more
know
anything
about
running
a
bed
and
breakfast,
but
I
would
be
a
legal
operator
because
I'm
I'm
the
homeowner,
so
I
think
we
really
have
to
think
about
what
we're
doing
and
not
get
all
bent
out
of
joint
about
who's
operating.
These
I
mean
we
have
one
of
the
richest
people
in
the
world,
wanting
to
run
a
bed
and
breakfast
or
to
take
homes
that
are
deteriorating
to
to
have
bed
and
breakfasts,
and
I
would
think
we
would
be
grateful
for
that.
U
Instead,
we're
making
it
impossible
not
only
for
that
person
to
do
it,
but
for
anybody
else
who
wants
to
do
it,
let's
say
somebody's
really
struggling
to
keep
their
home.
It's
a
beautiful
home.
They
they've
done
everything
in
the
world
for
20
years
and
they're
thinking
geez.
Maybe
I
could
do
a
bed
and
breakfast
and
help
help
with
the
expenses,
and
we
say:
oh
no,
because
you're
450
feet
from
the
last
one.
Well,
shame
on
us!
Shame
on
us
that
is
elitist
and
it's
just
plain
wrong.
P
Thank
you,
madam
mayor.
I'm
still
trying
to
kind
of
picture
what
750
feet
is.
As
we
talked
alderman
when
today
I
was
more
comfortable
with
500,
less
comfortable
with
750.
One
of
my
other
questions
has
to
do
with
the
parking
requirement
and
I
wasn't
around
when
the
amendment
was
added.
P
AC
It
it's
only
that
we're
for
the
first
time
proposing
a
parking
requirement,
a
one-to-one
per
guest
bedroom
and
the
the
previous
ordinance
or
the
current
ordinance
had
curb
public
parking
count
towards
that.
So
this
provision
would
disallow
that
for
accounting
for
the
required
parking
spaces,
so
they
have
to
provide
off
street
or
through
a
lease
of
adjacent
property
or
a
nearby
parking
garage
or
whatever.
So
it
the
the
one
change
it
takes.
Is
the
on-street
parking
space
can't
count.
AC
So
when
you
so
when
a
special
use
permit
application
is
submitted,
they
would
have
to
identify
where
their
off-street
parking
spaces
are,
and
they
can't
count
those
spaces
on
the
street
as
a
required
parking
spot.
P
AC
You
could
you
technically,
you
could
as
part
of
a
variation
as
part
of
the
special
use
permit.
So
if
they
just
can
only
it's
a
five-bedroom
house
and
they
can
only
get
you
know
four
spaces
off-site,
then
they
would
come
before
you
and
and
try
to
you
know
through
a
variance
or
make
some
argument.
Why
that
those
on-street
parking
spaces
could
go
forward,
but
it
would
not
be
meet
the
development
standard
that
we're
setting
out
in
this
ordinance
update
does.
P
That
presuppose,
then
that
they
would
need
to
do
a
parking
study
to
establish
that
street
parking
exists
in
order
to
apply
for
the
variance
of
the
parking
requirement
as
part
of
the
special
use
application.
AC
I
think
we
would
suggest
that
they
do
that
to
kind
of
prove
themselves.
You
know
it
that
you
know
that's
available,
but
a
couple.
You
know
a
couple
of
the
people
that
were
working
on
us.
We
just
didn't
think
it
was
a
good
idea,
including
myself,
to
require
or
to
allow
the
on-street
parking
that's
in
front
of
their
house
to
be
counted
because
that's
that's
open
for
all
that
doesn't
mean
they
can't
use
it.
You
know
when
the
time
comes.
P
AA
Thank
you
mid-mayor.
I
I
I
sort
of
go
to
back
to
alderman
rainey's
point
with
whether
you
count
coming
at
500
or
a
thousand
500
or
75
or
750.
AA
The
interesting
thing
is
where
this
house
is
situated,
is
that
potentially
there
could
be
on
this
very
long
block
to
the
east
of
this
home,
another
bread
and
breakfast
in
that
block
just
because
the
way
the
block
runs
in
a
particularly
long
way.
However,
going
to
the
west
there's
a
a
street:
half
a
block,
an
alley:
half
a
block,
another
street
judson
a
half
a
block,
another
alley
in
another
street.
That
would
be
the
first
opportunity.
AA
You'd
have
to
actually
have
a
bed
and
breakfast
in
the
you
know
in
the
750
foot
range,
so
it
it
seems
to
me
that
you
know
it.
What
we're,
if
we're,
trying
to
avoid
too
much
of
a
clustering
of
bed
and
breakfast,
is
the
the
density
of
the
homes
kind
of
do
the
separating
for
us,
so
it
it
it
doesn't
seem
like
you
would
really
want
one
in
the
same,
if,
if
you're
trying
to
keep
the
distance
having
one
the
same
block,
so
it
defeats
the
purpose.
AA
I
just
don't
think
that
this
radius
is
perfect
circle
radius.
I
understand
we
used
it
for
notifying
people
for
zoning
and
other
meanings,
but
it
seems
to
have
a
real
downfall
in
this
map,
in
the
sense
that
our
neighborhoods
are
so
differently
populated.
Our
lots
are
so
differently
sized
and
if
you
in
using
this
example,
it's
very
clear
that
this
is
one
of
those
situations
where
you
know
it
includes
a
very
denser,
dense,
neighborhood
in
a
very
sparsely
populated
or
bigger
lot
area.
AA
So
I'm
not
sure
that
the
ring
technique
is
is
necessarily
the
best
option.
It
seems
to
me
that
it
would
exclude
some
people
that
probably
should
be
able
to
have
a
bed
and
breakfast
and
maybe
include
others
that
we
don't
really
intend
to
have.
AA
O
Thank
you.
I
have
several
questions.
I
I
wanted
to
actually
respond
to
something
alderman
one
said
tonight
and
then
actually
something
aldrin
had
mentioned
several
months
ago.
O
So
tonight
you
mentioned,
wanted
to
compare
brook
group
homes
to
bnbs
and
I
don't
think
that's
an
accurate
depiction,
particularly
since
group
homes,
people
are
living
their
there,
24
7.
it
is
their
home,
and
so
there's
there's
a
much
larger
impact
on
the
on
the
on
the
neighborhood
bed
and
breakfast
people.
Aren't
there
they're
not
at
full
capacity
all
the
time
that
is
so.
It's
not
that
huge
impact
on
the
home.
O
O
A
second
point
that
you've
made
several
months
ago
is-
and
I
wanted
to
paraphrase-
but
I
think
it's
you
said
for
years-
you
had
an
illegal
bnb
operating
across
the
street
from
you
and
it
didn't
bother
your
neighborhood
and
I
think
that's
really
a
poignant
thing
that
you
said,
because
I
know
how
diligent
you
particularly
are
for
your
community
in
your
neighborhood
and
if
things
are
not
going
well,
there
there's
residents
are
upset.
You
are
on
top
of
it
and
you're
calling
mr
bopkowicz
and
the
mayor
and
and
bringing
it
here
to
us.
O
So
I
know
if
that
bnb
would
have
been
a
problem,
or
you
know,
others
that
were
that
were
legal
and
not
registered
would
have
been
a
problem.
I
know
that
you
would
have
said
something
so
illegal
b
and
b's
have
been
going
on
and
really
people
haven't
been
bringing
up
this
issue
because
it
hasn't
made
deteriorated
to
the
to
the
neighborhood.
So
I
appreciate
you
being
your
honesty
about
that
several
months
ago
and
we
haven't
talked
about.
We
keep
talking
about
that.
O
I
don't
know
if
your
staff
had
the
time
to
look
at
that
or
if
anybody
else
on
console
knows
of
that
information,
or
can
look
it
up
now
of
of
identifying
that
I
just
I
just
don't
understand
and
then
my
last
point
going
to
something
that
alderman
rainey
said
is
why
do
we
need
a
distance
requirement
if
we
have
all
these
other
criteria
for
a
b
and
b
to
operate,
we
are
making
it
extremely
strict
for
for
them
to
operate.
O
So
why
would
it
matter
if
there's
a
distance
requirement
and
what
about
the
illegal
ones
so
almost
as
you're
making
people
drive
underground
as
also
alderman
rainey's
point
of
you
have
a
bnb
that
has
been
established
legally
and
this
750
radius?
You
have
a
homeowner,
that's
been
here
for
years
and
is
starting
to
struggle
and
wants
to
start
taking
in
people
as
a
bnb
and
we're
like
nope
someone
got
to
it
before
you.
You
can't
do
this
now.
O
That
seems
very
limiting
and
not
really
fair
to
the
to
the
overall
all
of
our
residents.
So
again,
I'm
not
sure
why
we
have
this
distance
requirement
it
does
it
just
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense
to
me.
The
part,
I'm
sorry,
I
said
one
more
thing,
but
actually
the
parking
requirement.
O
So
that
would
mean
that
if
you
don't
have
a
garage
or
a
driveway,
you
can't
be
a
bnb
at
all
and
I'm
sure
that
the
illegal
bnb
is
across
the
street
from
from
your
house.
I'm
sure
they
didn't
have
parking
spots
for
all
of
the
all
of
their
rooms
or
all
of
their
bedrooms,
and
I'm
pretty
positive.
The
the
many
of
the
illegal
ones
didn't
either.
O
O
O
Let's
say
what
is
the
taxing
on
our
services,
so
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
information
that
we're
we're
saying
doom
and
gloom
if
we
have
too
many
bnbs-
and
I
just
haven't
seen
the
evidence
for
that
and
mr
griffin
and
I
didn't
give
you
a
chance
to
answer,
but
was
your
staff
able
to
look
at
that
information
about
how
b
b's
deteriorate,
a
neighborhood
or
increase
crime
or
any
of
that
information?
It.
AC
G
Wynn.
Well,
yes,
I
I'd
like
to
address
a
couple
of
things.
Yes,
I
had
the
two
illegal
bnbs
in
my
award.
That
is
correct.
I
didn't
blow
the
whistle
on
either
of
them
they
had
been
operating
before
I
would
became
a
council
member.
One
of
them
was
my
neighbor
directly
across
the
street,
who
I
had
been
friends
with
for
10
years
when
she
ran
into
further
financial
hardship.
G
So
shall
we
decide
that
because
someone
can't
stay
in
their
home
that
we
should
eliminate
the
distance
requirements
between
residential
group
homes,
because
we
want
to
keep
a
good
neighbor
in
the
neighborhood,
I
mean
that's
the
same
argument:
we're
making
you
know
someone
we
like
can't
make
it
anymore
in
their
home.
Gee
they'd
like
to
open
up
another
residential
group
home
on
my
block.
G
We
have
distance
requirements
because
of
in
single
family
neighborhoods,
because
we
recognize
that
people
purchase
a
single
family
home,
expecting
the
neighborhood
to
be
stay,
a
single
family
neighborhood,
but
we
don't
completely
borrow
them,
because
we,
because
we
recognize
that
some
of
these
places
can
be
used,
but
we
recognize
that
it's
a
commercial
operation
and
actually
both
of
those
bnbs
operated
a
tremendous
capacity.
My
sister-in-law
owned
the
second
one
for
months
after
she
purchased
her
home.
People
walked
in
her
front
door
and
announced
that
they
were
there
for
another
month
stay
months.
G
If
we're
going
to
ask,
I
don't
expect
them
to
deteriorate
homes,
I'm
just
saying
if
you
bought
your
home
as
a
single
home
and
you
had
two
single-family
neighbors
surrounding
you
and
then
one
of
them
began
to
run
a
commercial
operation.
I
think
you
might
think
twice
about
whether
you
would
buy
your
home
again.
G
It's
negligible,
but
every
home.
Every
potential
homeowner
who
has
found
out
that
they're
they're
buying
a
house
next
to
a
residential
group
home,
has
asked
that
realtor
to
ask
other
people
on
the
block
about
what
the
impact
is.
If,
if
we're
going
to
ask
for
more
of
this
information,
I'd
like
to
have
a
couple
of
realtors
come
in
and
say
what
the
effect
is
of
a
single
family
home
next
to
a
commercial
operation
like
a
bnb.
G
G
I
I
don't.
I
don't
see
this
as
deteriorating.
The
neighborhood
I
think
750
feet
is
a
is
an
appropriate
distance,
it's
less
than
what
we
have
for
residential
group
home.
The
issue
to
me
here
is:
we
are
permitting
someone
to
run
a
commercial
operation
in
a
single
family
district
and
if
the
circle
on
that
that
the
circles
that
are
here
cover
the
gas
station
and
the
railroad
tracks,
that's
just
our
zoning.
So
yeah
people
purchase
their
homes
not
far
from
war
and
shell,
but
they
didn't
want
to
have
five
bnbs
in
their
neighborhood.
G
So
I
you
know.
I
don't
think
that
this
is
an
extraordinary
thing
to
ask
that
we
have
the
750
feet.
If
there
isn't
the
support
on
the
council,
there
isn't
the
support,
that's
fine,
but
I'm
not
I'm
not
saying
that
these
attract
crime
or
that
they
deteriorate
the
neighborhood.
It's
a
commercial
operation.
G
That's
what
it
is
I
would
not
buy.
I
would
not
buy
my
house,
I
mean
all
a
person
has
to
do
when
they're
buying
a
house.
Is
they
look
at
the
house?
They
get
a
sense
of
what
may
be
what
the
street
looks
like.
They
don't
know
whether
they're
terrific
neighbors
on
that
block.
They
don't
know
that
that
bnb
is,
is
always
going
to
be
great
if
they
have
a
choice
between
that
house.
Next
to
the
bnb
and
another
similar
house,
because
most
people
do
look
at
a
number
of
houses.
G
I
looked
at
65
in
evanston,
I'm
going
to
choose
the
one:
that's
not
next
to
the
commercial
operation,
not
because
I'm
necessarily
that
I'm
worried
it's
going
to
have
loud
parties.
Maybe
I
am,
but
maybe
I'm
worried
about
what
my
resale
value
is
going
to
be.
How
easy
is
it
going
to
be
for
me
because
I'll
tell
you
right
now,
the
home
right
next
door
to
the
group
home,
that's
on
my
block
and
that
group
home
has
no
impact,
is
causing
realtors.
To
call
me
to
ask
me
what
the
impact
is.
It's
not
the
same.
Z
Z
Z
I
sold
real
estate
for
a
long
time
and
I'll
tell
you
it
would
be
given
choices
of
houses
if
you're
a
family
with
young
kids
and
you're.
Looking
at
a
neighborhood
you're
going
to
be
looking
at
well,
where
are
the
rest
of
the
kids
in
the
neighborhood?
Z
You
know
who's
my
kid
going
to
walk
to
school,
with.
What's
what's
going
to
be
the
dynamic
between
neighbors
for
block
parties
and
things
like
that,
it's
not
going
to
be.
Where
is
the
closest
commercial
operation?
To
my
the
house
that
I'm
considering
I,
I
almost
think
that
a
group
home
is
preferable.
You'll
have
folks
living
there
and
that's
their
residence
they're
not
going
to
be
renting
out
their
group
home
for
special
events,
they're
not
going
to
be
using
the
property
for
special
events.
Z
Z
That's
why
we
have
even
consideration
of
b's
and
b's
in
the
zoning
ordinance
because,
as
it
was
testified
by
various
members
of
the
community,
it
was
viewed
as
a
way
for
homeowners,
with
rising
taxes,
to
address
some
of
the
some
of
the
problems
or
some
of
the
maybe
alleviate
the
high
tax
bills.
Here's
what
we
found!
We
found
that
no
one
operated
a
legal
bnb.
Z
It
just
doesn't
make
financial
sense
you
when
you
operate
a
a
something
like
this,
you
have
to
do.
Advertising
you
have
to
do
upkeep.
You
have
to
make
breakfast
you've
got
to
clean
your
house.
You've
got
to
do
a
ton
of
things
that
most
people
don't
want
to
extend
themselves
to
do
in
order
to
rent
out
one
or
two
or
three
or
four
bedrooms
or
five.
Z
So
that's
why
there
were
no
legal
ones
as
far
as
illegal
ones.
If
you're
operating
an
illegal
use
of
any
kind,
I
would
suggest
you're
going
to
be
very
quiet
about
it.
You're
not
going
to
have
weddings
in
your
backyard
you're
not
going
to
have
parties
for
100
you're
going
to
try
to
keep
your
footprint
in
the
neighborhood
as
as
light
as
possible,
so
as
not
to
not
to
create
a
problem
between
you
and
your
neighbors,
and
that's
my
so
my
guess
is
what
happened
in
alderwein
winds
neighborhood.
Z
I
know
that's
the
case
with
a
bnb
that
was
operating
illegally
on
asbury
for
many
years.
When
people
came,
they
were
told
to
be
quiet.
They
were
told
to
pull
their
car
on
the
back
of
the
property.
They
were
told
not
to
talk
to
the
neighbors
pretty
much.
None
of
the
neighbors
knew
what
was
operating
in
that
in
that
specific
home.
Z
I
think
that
there
was
a
very
creative
way
to
address
the
parking
issue
with
the
300
church
property,
and
that
involved,
not
only
the
use
of
you,
know
the
parking
garage,
but
also
the
use
of
adjacent
property
where
there
was
some
parking
available.
So
I
think
that
was
a
very
creative
use
of
that.
It
is
basically
to
keep
the
cars
off
the
street
so
that
people
who
live
in
the
neighborhood
can
also
use
the
street
to
park
on
this
particular
area
is
a
restricted
zone.
Z
Some
other
areas
aren't,
but
parking
is
obviously
something
that
we're
all
concerned
about.
The
distance
requirement
in
the
end
is,
is
barely
not
even
a
block
and
a
half
it's
a
block
and
a
quarter
as
alderman
tendum
said
in
this
particular
map.
You'd
have
two
b's
and
b's
on
the
same
block.
That's
not
a
good
idea.
It's
not
a
good
idea
for
the
bnb
operators.
Z
Z
Well,
I
I
read
the
back
and
forth
on
it.
It
sounded
like
people
were
concerned
about
it,
but
if,
if
and
I've
heard
from
people
who
live
in
other
wards,
who
have
said
that
they
are
concerned
about,
a
proliferation
may
be
occurring
in
their
wards-
and
I
would
just
like
those
of
you-
in
other
words,
to
think
about
this,
because
this
is
the
one
concrete
example
that
we
have
we're
trying
to
deal
with
almost
20
years
now
of
a
use,
that's
been
in
our
zoning
ordinance
but
hasn't
been.
We
haven't
had
a
legal
applicant.
Z
Z
I
think
the
neighborhood
would
be
satisfied
with
750,
although
they
would
prefer
the
900
to
a
thousand,
and
I
would
just
ask
ask
you
really
to
consider
and
to
reach
out
to
people
who
live
in
your
wards
and
ask
them
how
they
would
like
these
commercial
uses
to
be
placed
in
close
proximity
to
their
residential
homes.
A
Thank
you,
alderman
burris
and
alderman
burst
before
you
speak.
I
did
want
you
to
know
that.
As
I
told
you
before,
I
do
support
holding
any
item.
We
want
an
alderman
is
gone,
but
I
do
want
you
to
know
that
the
applicant
did
speak
to
me
and
his
business
folks
spoke
to
me
about
the
length
of
time
this
entire
process
is
taken
and
so
holding.
It
is
not
something
that
is
desirable
in
terms
of
wanting
to
get
a
decision
out
of
this
council.
So
madame.
G
O
Just
just
a
couple
follow-up
comments,
one
it
it's.
It
is
striking
that
we're
we're
penalizing
legal
applicants.
Honestly,
that's
what
we're
doing.
If,
if
this
would
have
never
been
an
issue,
had
no
one
become
a
legal
applicant,
we
would
have
pretended
like
this.
Nothing
that
ever
happened
and
also
aldermen
win.
I
mean
alderman
fisk
it
it's
interesting.
You
also
knew
about
an
illegal
bnb,
so
obviously
they've
been
happening,
and
if
they
would
continue
to
happen
illegally,
we
would
have
never
gone
to
zoning
and
made
changes
and-
and
it
become
an
issue.
O
So
I
guess
that
says
something
about
our
our
process
and
the
bnbs
do
have
residents.
They
have
a
homeowner
that
is
living
in
the
home.
O
So
it's
not
as
if
this
is
somebody
that
turns
off
the
lights,
locks
the
door
and
leaves
and
goes
elsewhere,
they're
part
of
the
fabric
of
the
community,
and
I'm
I
just
can't
imagine
that
that
this
type
of
home,
because
that's
what
it
is
it's
a
home-
is
any
more
impactful
than
a
very
large
family.
That
has
many
birthday
parties
or
they
do
a
lot
of
fundraisers
at
their
home
or.
O
Or
aldermen
tandem
that
they're
that
they
have
kids
coming
back
and
forth,
they
have
three
teenagers
that
each
have
a
vehicle
that
are
that
are
driving.
O
I
just
I
think
it's
hard
to
to
say
that
this
is
more
impactful
than
you
wouldn't
want
to
live
next
to
it,
and
it's
also
it's
different
than
an
a
group
home
again.
It's
a
group
home
is
an
institutional
use.
This
is
a
home
where
someone
is
living
and
renting
out
rooms.
Occasionally
it's
not
it's
not
a
permanent
residence
and
for
the
majority
of
the
people
that
are
that
are
coming.
So
it's
it's,
it's
a
completely
different
use.
O
Why
is
it
now
an
issue
when
it's
we're
trying
to
make
them
legal
uses
are?
Are
they
we
had
an
applicant
that
came
in
with
a
legal
use?
And
now
it's
become
an
issue
for
the
legal
bnbs?
I
just
I.
I
don't,
I
think
it
just
doesn't
make
a
lot
of
sense.
They
weren't
a
problem
before
and
now
they
are
a
problem
and
we
still
don't
have
any
evidence
that
bnbs
are
a
problem
in
the
neighborhoods.
U
U
You
know
I'd
like
to
talk
about
500.
However,
the
arguments
made
by
both
alderman
fisk
and
alderman
nguyen
really
go
to
banning
bed
and
breakfasts,
because
the
economic
impact
and
the
social
impact
is
really
in
the
four
houses
that
surround
it.
You
would
never
buy
the
house
next
to
a
bed
and
breakfast
so,
whether
it's
500
feet
or
a
thousand
feet
or
750
feet.
The
person
who
lives
750
feet
is
not
going
to
be
impacted
at
all
by
the
bed
and
breakfast,
as
is
the
person
who
lives
500
feet.
U
The
only
people
we're
concerned
about
are
the
people
who
live
surrounding
the
bed
and
breakfast
realtors
are
going
to
be
called
in.
Alderman
wynn
said
out
of
the
65
houses.
If
there
had
been
a
bed
and
breakfast
she
wouldn't
have
bought
the
house
next
to
it
across
the
street,
behind
it
or
near
it.
So
those
are
the
people
we're
really
concerned
about.
So
the
distance
requirement
isn't
that
effective
in
dealing
with
the
impact
of
a
single
bed
and
breakfast
so
well.
I
think
there
should
be
a
distance
requirement.
U
So
I
don't
know
how
you
deal
with
that
unless,
unless
we
do
the
chicken
coop
theory-
and
that
is-
you
have
to
get
your
neighbor's
approval
to
do
a
bed
and
breakfast
that
that
would
take
care
of
the
four
houses
surrounding
a
bed
and
breakfast
and
I'm
not
sure
how
practical
that
is,
because
probably
a
person
who
is
going
to
do
them-
maybe
not
be
the
current
owner,
I'm
not
sure,
but
the
500
feet
a
thousand
feet.
750
does
not
address
the
impact
of
a
single
bed
and
breakfast
thank.

Was

held
to
the
next

which
means
now
that,
because
it
was
introduced
at
the
point
of
time,
you
can
then
amend
the
motion
for
the
help
amendment
the
held
motion
that
was
put
in
and
so
it'll
come
up
for
a
second.
You
can
debate
it,
you
can
amend
it
and
the
majority
have
to
prove
it.
