We
have
only
one
item
tonight,
two
items
actually
so
I
think
we'll
do.
This
is
a
comment
that
will
accompany
those
two
items
as
we
do
those
the
first
order.
Items
for
consideration,
however,
is
p1.

for
parking
lot
and
major
zoning
relief
for
a
five-foot
street
side
yard
set,
but
setback
for
the
Ryan
field.
A
West
parking

at
1501,
Central

of
Appeals
and
city

relief
for
a
five-foot
street
side.
The
yard
setback
ashland
avenue
for
open
parking
where
15
feet

required.
This
is

introduction
is
their
motion
to
get
reduce,
move.
A
D
Charles
Davidson
applicant
for
the
University
and
project
manager
for
the
western
field
parking
lot
I
have
with
me
this
evening,
John
DeAngelo.
Vice
president
facilities
management
at
Northwestern,
Jody,
Moreno,
landscape,
architect
from
Tuscan
associates
and
Brian,
was
a
ski
from
gay
Walt
Hamilton.
The
parking
lot,
the
West
Ryan
field
parking
lot
serves
multiple
youth
for
us
as
a
facility
at
football
game,
parking
tailgating
campus
parking
parking
for
North,
Shore
Hospital,
as
well
as
parking
lot
for
the
city
of
Evanston.
D
The
parking
lot
surrounded
by
essential
Street
business
just
to
the
south
wilmette
is
a
neighborhood
of
ours
to
the
north.
We
have
athletic
facilities
to
the
east
and
we
have
residents
to
the
to
the
west
reason
why
we're
proposing
the
renovation
of
this
parking
lot
is
parking
lights
interior
to
beyond
the
point
where
we
can
provide
general
maintenance
to
sustainably
keep
up
with
its
needs.
The
site
has
no
drainage,
poor
geometry
and
continued
service
complaints.
D
Some
of
the
highlights
of
this
project
is
a
complete
replacement,
bringing
a
lot
into
compliance
with
the
city
of
evanston
requirements,
American
with
Disabilities
Act
and
the
mwr
d
depart.
The
project
will
improve
the
right
away
along
Ashland
and
isabella
by
providing
sidewalk
and
landscaping
a
connection
to
writing
field
which
all
up
improve
it
at
the
midsection
and
an
improved
crosswalk.
D
Some
of
the
facts
and
some
of
the
general
information
regarding
the
parking
lot.
It's
a
seven
acre
site.
We
have
existing
884
stalls
and
we're
proposing
899
stalls
with
the
project
with
18
handicap
spaces,
lot
of
installation,
a
curb
around
a
lot
designated
pavement
edges
and
a
barrier
for
vehicles
which
doesn't
exist
today
and
well,
their
overall
improved
circulation
for
traffic
control,
on
daily
use
and,
more
importantly,
on
game
day.
D
The
project
currently
had
will
provide
stormwater
detention
and
facilitate
control
run
off
some
sustainable
features
for
this
project
will
have
rain
gardens
in
the
center
of
the
lot
to
promote
storm
water
infiltration
and
provide
pretreatment
of
water
prior
to
entering
stormwater
system.
Love
extensive
landscaping
around
the
perimeter,
as
well
as
trees
and
understory
plantings,
some
of
the
benefits
of
the
city
of
Evanston
that
we
have
with
this
project.
D
If
I
could
that
some
of
the
benefits
the
city
of
Evanston
on
our
southern
border,
we
have
a
30
foot
setback
along
Central
Street,
which
works
with
the
Central
Street
master
plan
along
isabella.
We
have
a
35
foot
setback.
That
setback
goes
along
with
a
larger
corridor
plan
that
we're
developing
in
this
area.
That
goes
with
the
rocky
miller
baseball
project
that
will
extend
from
the
west
end
of
the
at
west.
End
of
this
parking
lot
to
the
east.
D
Some
a
little
background
history
of
how
we
got
here
today.
We've
as
a
university
we've
met
with
dapper
on
two
occasions
we
met
with
the
ZBA.
We
had
a
town
hall
meeting
at
our
facility
hosting
our
neighbors,
and
recently
this
week
we've
met
with
neighbors,
which
we,
after
we've
submitted.
Some
of
the
plans
to
this
group.
D
We've
met
with
neighbors
and
we've
had
some
additional
information
that
you
so
some
of
the
items
that
came
out
of
those
meetings
is
what
I'd
like
to
invite
John
up
to
talk
about,
and
those
relate
to
the
lighting
levels,
landscaping
and
Ally
screening
and
in
the
connection
to
Livingston.
So
with
that
I'll
bring
up.
John
talk
a
little
bit
further
about
some
of
those
items.
Thank.
E
You
Charles
and
I'm
John
D'angelo,
vice
president
facilities
management
for
Northwestern
University,
and
thanks
to
a
wonderful
partnership
with
the
neighbors
and
with
both
City
Planning
and
city
code,
we
were
able
to
really
partner
on
some
of
the
concerns
of
the
neighbors
and
one
is
the
light
levels.
The
original
design
in
the
package
that
were
provided
had
several
options.
The
one
that
had
originally
gone
forward
I
believe
had
a
an
average
of
one
foot
candle
throughout
the
parking
lot
again
working
well
with
city
staff.
E
We
were
able
to
reduce
that
so
that,
on
the
west
side
of
the
lot,
the
side
that
is
closed.
Actually,
that
is
closest
to
the
neighborhood.
We're
able
to
reduce
that
down
to
a
minimum
of
0
point
3
and
the
ability
the
city
has
granted
us
the
ability
to
step
that
down
during
hours
when
the
lot
is
not
in
heavy
use,
using
dimming
of
the
LED
lights
that
we
plan
to
install
to
a
point,
one
on
the
east
side,
where
we
have
a
bigger
traffic
and
pedestrian
potential
interaction.
E
We
have
also
been
able
to
get
permission
from
city
code
city
has
an
advisory.
It's
not
in
code
for
a
midpoint
to
max
ratio
of
six
to
one.
Instead,
we've
looked
at
the
National
code,
which
is
the
eyes
nuh
RP
series
for
parking
lots,
which
has
a
min
to
max
ratio
which
allows
us
to
have
a
shorter
poll
height,
which
is
very
important
to
to
the
neighbors
and
not
have
to
dramatically
increase
the
number
of
poles
that
we
were
planning
on
having
on
the
site.
E
A
E
There
are
some
so
immediately
after
our
meeting
I
that
we
had
with
the
residents
I
went
out
and
took
a
look
at
the
alley,
the
alley
it
there's
really
not
an
opportunity
to
drain
that
alley.
Naturally,
because
of
the
soils
in
that
condition,
and
so
we
will
need
the
city's
assistance
in
getting
it
tied
into
an
appropriate
storm
system,
and
that
requires
city
approval,
MW
rd
approval,
and
so
that
was
the
meeting
that
I
had
with
the
city
today
as
well.
A
A
G
Hi,
if
that
microphone
acceptable,
my
name
is
Lori.
Mcfarland
I
live
in
the
neighborhood
immediately
west
of
ryan
field
parking
lot,
that's
the
neighborhood!
It's
about
four
blocks
square,
it's
sort
of
contained
by
Green,
Bay,
Road
and
the
stadium,
and
if
the
Bella
and
Central
and
I
would
point
out
that,
in
addition
to
our
neighborhood,
there
is
some
residential,
both
north
and
south,
of
Ryan
Field
in
will
match
and
then
along
Central
straight
as
well.
G
I
want
to
say
that
I
stand
here
tonight,
so
grateful
for
the
partnership
that
have
developed
with
northwestern-
and
there
are
times
in
the
past,
where
I've
sat
in
those
seats
and
watched
as
developer
for
neighbors
were
able
to
come
to
agreement
and
I
did
not
ever
think
that
I
was
going
to
be
part
of
that,
and
today
that
have
happened.
Getting
to
this
point
was
not
quick
or
easy.
It
was
a
long,
drawn-out
process
that
began
back
in
late
January
when
the
neighbors
got
the
first
notices
about
the
first.
G
A
per
meeting
it
was
on
februari
third
neighbors
began
organizing
at
that
point
in
time
our
neighborhood
has
a
neighborhood
directory
of
emails.
Emails
were
sent
out,
flyers
were
sent
around
I,
sometimes
extending
beyond
our
neighborhood,
and
we
try
to
make
it
as
an
inclusive
process
as
possible
to
get
everybody
involved
in
working
together,
and
as
a
result
of
that,
we
were
able
to
form
committees
on
lighting
and
Ally
and
landscaping
and
pedestrian
walkway
that
eventually
worked
and
developed
positions.
G
That
then
we
took
to
the
northwestern
I
say
this
to
emphasize
that
we
have
always
wanted
to
have
an
open
conversation
with
everybody
who
was
involved
and
have
welcomed
points
of
view
on
that
northwestern
was
was
very
receptive
when
we
came
especially
with
alderwoman
rebell.
She
was
of
enormous
help
to
us
in
getting
the
meetings
that
we
needed
both
with
city
staff.
In
with
northwestern.
G
We
have
as
a
result
of
this
outreach
effort.
I
think
that
I
would
say
over.
Ninety
percent
of
the
neighbors
are
thrilled
with
what
is
going
on
today
and
I.
Thankfully
University
and
I
urge
you
all
to
adopt
it.
I
would
be
happy
to
have
to
answer
any
questions
that
you
all
might
have
about
process
or
about
where
the
neighbors
are
at.
If
you
all
had
something
like
that,.
H
G
For
instance,
when
there
are
openings
that
creates
a
problem
security
wise
for
Northwestern,
and
they
then
have
to
have
higher
light
levels
near
the
edge
of
the
lot
they
have
to
have
lower
vegetation.
So
the
lot
can't
be
screened
as
much
for
security
reasons.
It
also
creates
a
better
barrier
in
the
way
that
good
fences
make
good
neighbors.
We
very
much
enjoy
Northwestern's
presence.
We
think
we
will
continue
to
enjoy
it
more
if
we
have
that
continuous
barrier
between
and
fairly
intensive
screening.
G
You
know
northwestern
if
it's
there
great
University
and
we're
happy
that
their
team
for
doing
well.
We
do
anticipate
continued
increased
use
of
that
lot
over
time
and
it
is
a
much
busier
lots.
It
could
feel
commercial
in
nature,
so
the
dense
plantings
that
have
been
proposed-
the
continuous
fence
I,
think,
will
really
address
that
and
make
the
neighbor
feel
that
their
property
values
will
it
ameliorates
the
diminution
of
the
property
values.
H
H
A
We
have
about
eight
other
speakers
sign
up
now.
If
you
feel
that
you,
then
your
your
point
of
view
has
been
addressed
and
that
you're
satisfied
at
ER
than
ninety
percent,
as
Miss
MacFarlane
mentioned,
you
can
speak
or
choose
not
to
either,
but
we
have
quite
a
few,
so
first
name
on
the
list
is
Robert
melt.
Your
okay
and
susan
miller.
I
Robert
melchiorri,
we
live
at
1619
jinx,
this
property.
Our
residents
has
been
in
our
family.
Our
residents
been
our
family
for
about
15
years.
My
wife,
Susan
and
I
moved
there
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
and
this
is
a
good
meeting,
I
think
in
addition
to
paving
the
alley
and
sewers
the
alley
and
speed
bumps,
it
needs
to
be
one
way
because
the
alley
is
being
used
as
a
cut
through
from
central
to
Isabella.
Cars
are
speeding
at
game
time.
I
You
got
frantic
tailgaters
looking
for
their
friends
looking
for
a
spot
to
park
and
they
just
whip
through
there.
Alright,
some
of
the
things
we've
lived
with.
In
addition
to
that,
we
have
buses
and
a
lot
from
615
in
the
morning
until
1130pm
there's
a
sign
posted
very
clearly
on
central
next
to
musters
last
and
no
buses,
no
parking,
no
idling.
This
has
become
a
municipal
bus
depot.
I
There's
multiple
companies
in
there
I
had
multiple
discussions
with
Brian
Peters
now
retired
I
had
a
transportation
of
public
transportation
for
Northwestern,
and
it
took
at
least
20
phone
calls
before
we
can.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
remedy.
The
issue
is
it's
not
being
monitored
properly,
it's
only
monitored
when
the
residents
called
and
the
problem
is
the
left
hand
doesn't
know
what
the
right
hand
is
doing.
They
don't
know
what
bus
companies
are
in
a
lot.
I
I
was
asked
to
go
out
there
by
Brian
Peters
and
take
pictures,
and
not
only
the
buses
with
license
plate,
but
the
driver.
So
this
went
on
for
a
year
the
last
time.
Actually
the
last
two
times,
it's
the
same
driver
and
he
just
laughs.
It's
like
it's
no
big
deal.
They
have
controlled
a
lot.
This
has
to
stop.
There's
bus
fumes.
I
There
is
constant
diesel
noise
and
when
the
bus
comes
in
from
Central
Street
and
that
I
question,
why
does
the
bus
have
to
come
through
the
parking
lot,
pick
up,
people
and
then
head
down
ashland?
The
understanding
is
those
blush
of
the
buses
are
supposed
to
be
on
Ashland.
It
pick
up
their
passengers
there
all
right,
so
that
is
like
gone
18
hours
of
noise
every
day,
all
right.
I
So,
in
addition
to
the
fumes,
the
noise,
the
air
brakes
game
days,
we
have
people,
obviously
drinking
it's
fine.
It's
a
game
about
eleven
o'clock.
They
started
puking
in
the
alley.
We
even
had
someone
defecate
at
our
house
so
addition
to
that
I
I,
calm
this
on
the
city
of
Evanston
northwestern
and
their
donors
to
do
the
right
things,
because
this
is
a
tipping
point
for
this
neighborhood.
J
And
getting
back
to
the
alley,
it's
really
a
safety
issue,
I
mean
hoping
that
it
will
be
paved
with
the
speed
bumps,
especially
on
game
day.
They
speed
looking
for
a
place
to
park,
and
it's.
I
Also
been
difficult,
we
can't
even
keep
our
windows
open,
I
mean
if
you
just
live
in
a
place,
so
cooped
up
it's
nice
to
get
a
little
fresh
air.
In
addition
to
that,
one
more
I
would
like
to
mention-
and
it
was
a
lot
of
other
people
speak
on
sundays.
The
lot
is
being
used
to
train
new
drivers,
how
to
drive
and
stick
shift.
Then
we
got
screeching
and
breaking
dust
flying
around
and
it
it
is
as
bad
as
I
say
it
I'm,
not
exaggerating
in
one
way,
shape
or
form.
I
A
K
K
The
other
thing
is,
along
with
my
neighbors
I'm
pleased
by
the
new
proposed
changes
by
Northwestern
that
changed
the
original
parking
lot
plan
and
I
was
wondering
about
again
something
mentioned
about
the
light.
Minimums
haven't
been
changed,
I'm
sort
of
ignorant
about
lights,
so
does
minimum
mean
that
there
is
a
maximum
also
or
is
is
the
maximum?
Actually.
K
Those
figures
that
were
proposed-
our
neighborhood
in
the
past,
has
endured
increased
light
noise
and
car
exhaust
pollution,
traffic
congestion,
leading
to
increased
nuisance
and
illegal
behavior,
such
as
crowds
not
using
sidewalks
after
games,
dumping,
refuse
public,
urination,
illegal
parking,
etc.
Most
of
the
present
alley
vegetation
will
be
removed.
I
do
like
the
new
plan,
because
we
need
new
plantings
that
adequately
shield
residents
from
light
and
noise
pollution
and
absorb
car
exhaust
and
radiating
pavement
heat.
We
want
to
save
haven
for
resident,
owls
and
bats.
K
The
cover
height
should
be
dense
and
tall
from
the
start,
and
we
can't
wait
10
years
for
twist
to
go
to
a
height
significantly
significantly
less
than
at
present.
Papa
grading
and
paving
the
alley
with
high
into
adequate
sewers
will
likely
averted
ocean
or
sinking
effects
due
to
hoots
the
hey
caused
by
the
death
of
the
original
plans.
Most
residents
feel
that
a
continuous
batter
of
vegetation
is
now
proposed
and
fencing
along
the
alley
is
ideal
walking
a
few
blocks
to
which
the
parking
lot
Stadium
a
central
street
is
a
healthy
and
minor
inconvenience.
K
Tailgaters
will
use
porta-potties
once
easy
alley.
Access
is
stopped.
Delivery
trucks
would
be
discouraged
from
idling
in
the
alley.
What
is
the
policy
for
game
deliveries?
Northwestern
is
the
only
Big
Ten
member
without
published
tailgating
rules.
The
permanent
barrier
would
stop
direct
light
streaming
down
Livingston
and
allow
the
proposed
reductions
in
light
levels
an
advantage
to
all
residents.
I
do
commend
Northwestern
for
addressing
the
present
parking
lot
deplorable
conditions.
We
ask
that
the
renovation
does
not
include
changes
that
will
impact
negatively
on
our
environment
and
quality
of
life.
K
A
L
No
problem,
my
name
is
john
black.
I
live
at
2651,
eastwood
I've
lived
in
Evanston
since
1972.
We
moved
to
our
present
house
almost
five
years
ago.
I
think
northwestern
should
really
be
commended
and
applauded
for
the
what
I
would
call
remarkable
joe
of
partnership
on
this
project.
I
actually
had
a
few
slides
that
I
put
together
earlier
that
I'm
not
walking
through
now,
because
I
I
spoke
with
Charles
and
John
I.
Think
earlier
and
they've
addressed
some
of
my
concerns.
L
There
is
one
remaining
concern
I
have
and
it
relates
to
stormwater
management
and
the
there's
there's
two
very
large
water
vaults.
Well,
there's
a
big
one
in
a
smaller
one
that
are
going
to
be
collecting
stormwater
and
the
big
vault
is
going
to
be
diverted
to
the
storm
system.
The
smaller
vault
is,
will
have
a
permeable
bottom
and
the
water
will
go
down
into
the
ground
now
this
ground
in
the
parking
lot.
It's
terrible!
It's
clay!
It's
it's!
Not
permeable
and
I.
L
L
You
know
to
give
it
that
old
college
try
and
and
to
push
this
through,
because
I'm
talking
to
a
city
engineer
who
knows
her
stuff
and
she's,
telling
me
that
this
can
probably
be
done
and
I
think
that
effort
should
be
made
other
than
that
I,
like
I,
said:
I
applaud
the
the
great
partner
in
with
Northwestern
Thank.
You
Thank.
M
M
Key
to
that
process
and
vision
was
recognition
of
the
significant
impact
that
new
projects
or
changes
in
youth
design
or
intensity
can
have
on
adjacent
residential
neighborhoods
and
the
quality
of
life
of
those
neighborhoods
residents,
as
well
as
the
recognition
that
such
residents
often
have
detailed
knowledge
of
ground-level
factors
that
are
not
apparent
from
the
perspective
of
high-level
decision
makers
of
planners.
So
the
plan
anticipated
and
was
expected
to
guide
future
development
in
a
way
that
would
help
maintain
the
unique
character
of
the
neighborhood
and
simultaneously
promote
its
attractiveness
and
livability.
M
We
saw
some
beautiful
renderings
of
what
might
happen
at
this
very
site
in
some
of
the
early
iterations
of
that
plan.
One
hope
is
that
controversy
would
be
avoided
in
the
future,
both
by
adherence
to
the
plan
and
by
project
proponents
meeting
early
with
neighborhood
residents
to
hear
and
discuss
concerns,
preferably
while
such
a
project
was
in
the
formative
stages.
M
Central
Surrey
neighbors
is
sensitive
to
and
supportive
of
the
concerns
of
the
neighbors
who
have
met
with
northwestern
city
staff
and
aldermen
ravel.
With
respect
to
the
proposed
changes
to
this
parking
lot
and
we
congratulate
Northwestern
insensitivity
as
well.
We
support,
in
particular,
the
reduction
of
parking
lot
lighting
intensity
and
ours
to
the
minimum
necessary
the
use
of
light
coloration.
M
M
We
encourage
the
creative
use
of
sustainable
drainage
mechanisms
to
reduce
runoff
and
strain
on
the
storm
sewer
system,
not
count
against
evanston's
Lake,
Michigan
water
allocation
and
for
any
future
improvement
of
the
alley
west
of
the
line.
We
support
the
processor
dialogue,
that's
occurred
date,
but
also
the
requests
of
residents
that
the
city
of
Evanston
ensure
by
conditions
on
the
permit,
if
necessary,
that
the
representations
and
agreements
that
have
been
made
in
these
meetings
and
in
these
presentations
are
implemented.
M
N
This
is
going
to
be
extremely
brief,
since
most
of
the
speakers
have
already
covered
all
of
my
topics.
I
live
at
2657
eastwood,
which
is
the
corner
of
eastwood
and
livingston,
and
a
place
at
the
midway
point
would
wear
northwestern
was
proposing
the
walkway
all
the
way
through
I've
lived
there
for
30
years,
so
I
have
experienced
a
lot
of
the
traffic
and
what
goes
on
with
earth.
N
Western
I
am
extremely
happy
with
the
partnership
that
northwestern
has
put
together
to
try
to
eliminate
that
walkway
through
to
put
a
fence
up
there
from
Isabella
to
Central.
Street
is
going
to
be
an
extreme
relief
to
me
and
my
property
values,
specifically
with
everything
that
we
have
gone
through.
We
have
tried
to
be
very
good
neighbors
with
northwestern
and
tried
to
accommodate
with
them
what
happens
during
football
games
and
every
other
activity
that
they
have
going
on.
N
So
the
fence
activity
or
the
fence
idea,
is
extremely
welcome
in
addition
to
the
fact
that
the
lights
that
are
currently
there
at
northwestern
continues
to
shine
through
my
bedroom
windows,
because
I
am
right
on
the
alley
there
and
the
fact
that
they
are
willing
to
lower
those
light
levels
is
a
wonderful
thing
as
well.
So
I
am
very
thrilled
that
we
have
been
able
to
work
with
northwestern
and
partnership
and
make
a
good
compromise.
So
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
that
is
so
important
to
us
in
the
neighborhood.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
O
Hello,
my
name
is
Lawrence
burn.
I
live
on
livingston
about
a
half
block
west
of
the
stadium
I'll,
be
very
brief.
I
really
just
want
to
give
as
many
kudos
as
I
can
to
our
new
alderman
alderman
ravel.
She
really
stepped
up
to
the
plate
and
brought
partnership,
and
my
my
thanks
to
Northwestern
John,
d'angelo
and
Alan
Anderson
really
came
together
in
a
spirit
of
partnership.
One
thing
once
they
understood
our
concerns
and
the
depth
of
our
concerns,
so
we
really
need
them
a
thanks
as
well
and
I
support.
O
A
B
This
might
be
a
historical
occasion
and
I
I
hope
it's
written
down
in
history
and
noted
I've,
never
seen
so
many
happy
neighbors
in
this
room
in
my
life,
however,
I
want
to
be
happy
to
about
this,
and
so
I
would
like
a
little
more
information
about
the
alley
paving
process
here.
I
heard
that
northwestern
is
going
to
commit
to
eight
hundred
thousand
dollars
for
the
alley.
What
I
really
want
to
know
is
where's.
This
partnership
is
this
going
to
be
a
special
assessment
on
the
homeowners
that
are
budding
the
alley?
E
You
ordinary
again,
it's
john
D'angelo,
vice
president
of
sewage
management
for
Northwestern
I'd
be
happy
to
answer
your
question.
The
answer
is
right
now,
I,
don't
know
we're
just
starting
those
discussions
with
the
city
there's
a
lot
of
permitting
that
has
to
go
in
and
some
design
that
has
to
be
done.
There
is
a
commitment
on
my
part
personally,
as
for
those
don't
know,
Mia
and
20-year
United
States
naval
officer
I,
don't
get
my
commitment
unless
I
fully
follow
through
on
it
and
as
a
corporate
officer
of
Northwestern
University.
E
My
commitment
on
the
record
does
commit
the
university
to
to
working
that
through,
so
we
have
to
figure
out
exactly
what
needs
to
be
done
on
on
the
site
and
then
we'll
get
the
estimate
and
we're
going
to
continue
to
value
the
partnership
of
both
our
community
and
of
the
city.
But
we
had
those
first
discussions
with
the
city
today
and
so
I.
Don't
know
that
that
full
answer
yet
okay.
P
E
Had
that
experience
over
the
past
year
as
well,
we
applied
under
the
city's
50-54
several
alleys,
that
about
northwestern
property
and
to
make
those
those
alleys
move
forward.
Northwestern's
had
to
shoulder
the
burden
and
that's
their
commitment
to
their
neighbors
here,
so
as
principal
owners
along
this
alleyway.
Our
intent
is
to
not
have
to
have
a
special
assessment
under
the
city's
program,
but
it
is
way
early
alderman
for
me
to
be
able
to
tell
you
exactly
what
that
means.
Until
we
get.
B
B
I
love
that
you
there's
nothing
like
paving
an
alley,
but
a
warning
to
the
resident
who
came
up
and
said
one
of
the
problems
as
they
have
speeding
cars
and
they
really
want.
You
know
one
way,
there's
nothing
that
causes
speeding
in
an
alley
more
than
having
it
one
way
and
paved
that
your
it's
set,
not
a
problem.
Speed
bumps
are
not
a
speed
down
the
alley.
It's
just
crazy.
The
best
thing
for
slowing
down
traffic
and
analysis.
Ok,
but
but
I
understand
I
mean,
there's
nothing
more
beautiful
than
a
paved
Ali,
I
I
wish.
B
A
C
Thank
You
mr.
chair
I
just
had
a
question
for
you.
John
I,
like
I,
don't
see
an
image
of
the
light
fixtures
you're
going
to
use
I'm
assuming
they're
dark
sky.
There.
E
Are
led
yes,
so
they
have
a
hundred
percent
cut
off
their
lens
cut
off,
so
you
don't
even
need
the
baffles
which
can
fail
over
time.
Okay.
So
these
are
a
hundred
percent
lens.
They
are
have
a
very
high
bug
rating,
which
means
that
they
don't
have
like
pollution
in
the
up
direction.
The
you
one
bug,
in
fact
these
are
and
I
believe
we've
gone,
we've
selected
GE.
These
are
really
becoming
the
do
e
standard
for
some
of
the
best.
E
Lights,
you
had
to
have
McCann
cut-offs
because
the
in
over
time
those
mechanical
cut-offs
rust
or
get
bent
and
they
fail
and
then
what
goes
in
is
a
wonderful
light.
Over
time
creates
light
pollution.
These
are
actually
small
chip
packages
and
the
chips
are
not
360,
they're
only
focused
down,
and
so
it's
a
much
better
solution
and
as
just
that,
these
are
incredibly
more
sustainable.
Great.
H
C
H
The
comment
that
was
made
by
the
neighbors
about
the
idling
buses
is
there.
We
do
have
an
anti
idle
ordinance
in
evanston
that
prohibits
trucks,
delivery,
trucks
and
buses
from
idling
for
more
than
53
I.
Think
it's
33
minutes
well,
anyway.
I
I
think
it's
fine
whatever
it
is,
but
this
has
been
a
concern
in
my
ward,
because
we
have
several
grocery
store
parking
lots
across
the
alley
from
residential.
So
it
is.
H
E
Sure
I
can't
fully
answer
your
question
because
that
program
doesn't
fall
under
me,
but
I
do
am
familiar
enough
to
give
a
general
answer.
So
the
old
leader
in
charge
of
Transportation,
whose
name
was
mentioned,
has
retired
and
it
now
falls
as
a
program
underneath
our
chief
of
police
and
he
is
bringing
a
lot
of
leadership
to
that
program
and
it
has
dramatically
improved
both
in
on-time
performance
on
the
buses,
as
well
as
enforcing
northwestern
and
city
of
Evanston
policies.
E
For
this
parking
lot,
one
of
the
improvements
along
Ashland
is
to
have
small
bus
turn
off
and
pick
up
lanes,
which
were
hopeful
and
in
partnership
with
the
chief
lewis
should
be
able
to
not
have
the
buses
turn
all
the
way
into
the
lot
to
use
those
bus
lanes
which
currently
don't
exist
along
the
parking
lot.
So
those
are
our
hopes.
Alan
has
also
taken
that
note
down
and
he
can
get
a
more
formal
answer
back
if,
if
I
fail
to
satisfy
your
question,
okay,
I'd.
A
I,
try
an
escape
her
I.
Have
one
question:
actually
really
I,
don't
know
they
can
answer
either,
but
as
far
as
getting
more
information
about
their
water
retention,
tanks,
I'm
firm
believer
in
trying
to
get
as
much
water
into
the
ground
as
possible
and
thankee,
not
the
you
know,
backing
up
the
sewers
causes
the
immense
problems
with
our
residency.
So
I'd
like
to
know
if
I
guess,
if
the
water
tanks
are
deep
enough,
you
would
be
beyond
that
clay
membrane
that
you
know
kind
of
is
really
pretty
common
in
the
entire
area.
A
E
No,
it
can
easily
be
resolved.
In
fact,
the
design
resolves
it
to
my
satisfaction
as
a
professional
engineer
and
furthermore,
northwestern
has
committed
on
behalf
of
the
White
House,
who
called
just
before
the
Paris
climate
change
talks
to
doing
just
that
to
trying
to
put
ground
water
back
into
the
ground,
and
so
we
have
a
seven-acre
parking
lot
that
is
going
to
have
a
stone
base
course
throughout,
and
that
stone
base
course
is
the
meant
to
allow
the
water
to
travel
throughout
that
seven
acre.
Seven
acres
is
a
lot
of
water
retainage.
E
It
gives
the
water
plenty
of
time,
and
so
clay
does
perk.
It's
just
very
slow
having
the
smaller
of
the
tanks
as
an
open
bottom
tank
allows
any
natural
hydraulic
pressure
to
move
down
and
throughout
that
lot,
the
clay
barriers.
As
you
get
off
property,
the
vertical
barriers,
water
will
always
flow
downhill
and
in
the
easiest
path.
A
Yes,
thank
you.
I've,
actually,
I'm
actually
interested
in
observing
this
even
further
as
far
as
our
municipal
use,
but
there
has
say
we
have
the
deep
tunnel,
at
least
in
my
ward,
the
sixth
Ward
further
west
is
not
you
know,
it
has
been
it's
obsolete,
almost
accepted.
You
know
typical
rains,
but
so
getting
water
back
into
ground
is
soon
a
huge
priority
with.
E
A
Appreciate
it
anyone
else,
questions
for
residents
over
the
university.
It's
been
moved
and
seconded.
This
is
for
introduction
at
council
all
those
in
favor
any
opposed.
It
is
unanimous
items
for
discussion
at
pd-1,
north
avenue,
north
and
north
downtown
area
plan
at
the
februari
22nd
2016
Planning
and
Development
Committee
meeting
the
committee
members
identified
a
potential
need
for
a
downtown
area,
neighbourhood
plan
and
direct
staff
to
investigate
a
planning
process.
