A
A
E
F
F
E
F
G
C
F
G
Am
here
over
the
weekend,
I
I
wrote
in
Metro
and
and
I
saw
several
areas,
for
there
was
no
shelter
and
we
addressed
exactly
this-
those
those
a
lady
unexpected,
ladies
while
pregnant,
and
you
can
tell,
though
she
had
been
standing
on
the
hot
Sun
for
a
good
while
when
she
gets
on
the
bus,
she's,
drenched
in
sweat
and
and
I
thought,
we
need
to
get
more
shelters,
and-
and
thank
you
guys-
we
got
these
here
today-
that
we're
gonna
open
it
be
approving
I.
Think
it's
very
necessary
I.
Imagine
you
all
support
this.
G
G
Glad
you
mentioned
the
bike
repair
station.
Could
we
were
promoting
that
I
actually
went
on
my
bike
and
I
loaded,
my
bike
onto
the
bike
rack
onto
an
Metro.
It
was
very
easy
to
do.
It
was
great,
so
I'm
glad
that
you're
mentioning
that
we're
gonna
have
a
bike
repair
station
there
as
well,
because
what
we're
doing
is
we
noted
that
we
needed
really.
G
We
need
some
more
routes
right
to
just
make
it
a
better
service
to
the
public
to
the
community,
and
so,
if
they're
kind
of,
if
they're,
far
from
from
the
nearest
route,
they
can
go
on
their
bike.
It
makes
it
easier
to
get
there.
They
can
load
the
bike
onto
a
metro,
so
I'm
really
proud
of
all
the
work
that
you
all
are
doing.
G
F
A
C
A
Okay,
well,
listen,
favor,
say
aye,
all
those
against
a
no
motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Next
item
is
it's
a
motion
to
authorize
the
execution
of
the
proposed
planning
agreement
between
the
Texas
Department
of
Transportation
at
the
rate
of
urban
transportation
study
has
been
designated
in
the
Metropolitan
Transportation
Planning
Organization,
which
is
the
FPL
for
the
Laredo
urbanized
area,
the
city
Laredo,
which
serves
as
the
MPO
fiscal
agent.
The
planning
agreement
identifies
the
roles
and
responsibilities
of
the
parties
serving
out.
The
transportation
planning
process
said.
A
Second,
there's
a
motion:
a
second
discussion,
none
heard,
economists
in
favor
say
aye
hold
this
against.
There
no
motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.
Moving
on
this
is
item
D.
This
is
an
important
item.
This
is
something
that
was
a
table
from
last
discussion
because
we
needed
more
member
participation,
and
this
is
the
discussion
of
possible
action
on
the
transfer
of
96
point:
93
million
dollars
from
the
construction
of
u.s.
59
interchanges
at
Del,
Mar,
Shiloh,
International
Jacqueline,
a
University
Boulevard
to
the
construction
of
the
u.s.
59
frontage
roads
between
u.s.
59
and
international
Boulevard.
A
H
H
Those
contracts
were
the
consultants
we
told
him
you'll
develop
the
interchanges
plus
the
PSN
is
for
the
furnish
roads
just
to
have
all
the
plans
ready
on
the
Shelf
if
funding
becomes
available.
Now,
what
we're
trying
to
do
is
move
the
money
from
the
inner
changes
to
the
furnish
roads.
So
the
way
the
constructibility
of
the
projects,
the
driveways
access
right
away,
utilities
can
be
done
way
in
advance
right
now,
similar
to
what
we
have
a.
H
We
just
had
an
international
McPherson
loop
20
with
it
the
frontage
roads,
the
side
roads
which
now
they
will
be
working
outside
of
the
road.
We
will
not
have
the
closures
on
the
loop
20
and
then
in
the
future
that
will
be
working
in
the
middle,
we're
trying
to
avoid
the
same
situation.
We
had
right
in
front
of
our
office
and
20
and
Clark,
and
thank.
D
A
From
my
standpoint,
I
think
it's
fine
I
check
with
management
to
and
and
obviously
if
it's
going
to
be
more
convenient
that
and
it's
not
going
to
create
more
duplication
of
of
interference
and
that
sort
of
thing
my
concern
is
the
funds.
When
you
bring
plans
that
toward
the
construction,
can
we
then
release
as
you
bring
plans
and
I
would
hate
to
release
and
then
will.
A
H
Right
now
it's
about
ninety
six.
Ninety
six
point:
93
million
dollars
that
we
have
allocated
when
we
came
out
with
with
consultants,
came
out
with
the
estimates
for
the
frontage
roads
it's
about
a
hundred
and
four
million.
So
there
is
some
money
that
the
state
is
willing
to
put
for
some
other
neurons.
We.
I
A
I
What
I'm
saying
is
that
we're
committed
to
it
till
we
find
a
lot
of
KT
funds
right
now
we're
currently,
each
overpass
is
about
25
million
dollars
per
overpass.
Well,
we
can
take
those
five
overpasses
and
committed
to
the
frontage
roads.
It'll
be
three
lane
front
ribs
in
each
direction,
we'll
be
able
to
push
back
well
won't
mess
with
the
middle
traffic
will
be
in
the
middle,
we'll
be
billing
them
almost
the
construction
standpoint,
it's
actually
cheaper
and
we
get
a
better
price.
You.
C
A
C
Does
the
overpass
get
reallocated
I'm,
just
sorry,
flabbergasted
that
this
comes
six
years
down
the
road
after
we've
already
already
allocated
all
the
money
we
fought
for
the
overpasses,
we've
got
to
change
and
we
have
a
pullback
and
then
we
get
the
date
gift
set
back
and
because
of
utilities.
Because
of
all
this
and
now
so
now
we
can
do
everything
all
at
once
and
I'm
sorry
for
me,
Billy
overpasses
go.
I
Concurrently,
you
know
we're
still
working
on
trying
to
get
the
funding
to
do
all
five
overpasses
in
the
front.
So
if
we
don't
have
yet,
we
haven't
come
to
that
point.
Yet
what
we're
trying
to
do
here
is
eliminate
a
lot
of
the
environmental
studies,
get
ahead
of
ballgame
ease
up
some
traffic
and
get
it
built
to
the
outside
when
we're
having
three
minutes
in
each
direction
and
then
work
our
way
from
getting
the
only
passage
bill.
C
H
Our
letting
days
we'll
stay
at
the
same
as
the
overpasses.
Why
not
were
just
relocated?
The
funding
the
lading
day,
like
I,
said
that
the
consultants
are
working
on
the
on
the
designs,
so
they
have
the
sense
at
the
same
time,
just
as
they
have
the
interchanges
they'll
have
the
furnish
roads
already
designed.
H
H
Furniture
well
we'll
be
doing
the
front-running.
H
C
B
I
Bring
that
up
because
that's
been
a
concern,
yeah
I,
said
in
high
school,
where
they're
coming
down
into
two
lanes
of
traffic.
If
you
go
ahead
and
move
forward
these
particles,
it's
gonna,
be
better
for
the
traffic,
because
you're
gonna
have
two
lanes
in
each
direction.
That
worries
me
Alexander,
because
you're
coming
right
into
the
toy
very
much
there,
we
can
alleviate
some
of
the
traffic
or,
if
we
thought
free-flowing,
download,
20g.
D
H
H
I
G
Know
I
think
you
would
have
helped
we
had
schematics,
so
you
can
show
us.
So
we
can,
you
know,
have
visuals
as
opposed
to
just
telling
us
that
it
works
better
is,
is
anybody
nearby
that
can
maybe
or
somebody
you
can
call
you?
Can
you
shoot
you
an
email
with
this
schematic?
You
think
you
can
put
it
up.
What's.
G
C
So
long
you
know:
we've
been
at
this
game
for
how
long
I
mean
you
know,
I
know
I've
had
this
argument
on
a
charas
and
white.
You
know:
let's
build
the
frontage
roads,
I
mean
that's
a
typical
text
dog
you
build
a
friend's
roads.
Then
you
come
back
and
build
a
middle.
Why
now
did
you
all
not
think
of
that?
But.
I
That's
a
that's
a
regular
question
and
that's
before
my
time
in
well
I'll
try
to
attack
it
or
answer
it
for
you,
but
you
know
we
just
recently
took
over
the
designer
aspect
of
it
previously
was
under
somebody
else.
They
was
doing
the
design
aspect
for
it
I'm
not
sure
what
route
they
took,
but
we're
doing
what
an
outside
person
that
was
taking
care
of
that
now
that
we've
taken
over
design
aspect
I
think
this
is
a
way
to
go
about
it.
A
C
There's
no
other
money's
and
you're
saying
well
we'll
get
the
friends
role
now
and
maybe
in
2030,
we'll
get
over
pesos
and
I.
Think
the
overpasses
right
now
are
more
important
to
get
that
traffic.
You
know
on
the
loop,
get
him
get
them
clearing
them
out.
We
can
do
an
acceleration,
may
be
a
long
one
there
for
people
growing
on
down
out
of
the
new
Alexander
campus.
C
J
D
C
I
Under
the
you
know,
I'm
gonna
have
to
be
said
again
once
you
open
up
the
level
of
service
in
a
traditional
lane
in
both
directions.
That's
gonna,
carry
a
lot
of
weight.
I
do
have
concern,
especially
a
Jackman
and
right
there,
Alexander
that
if
you
build
that
up,
are
you
gonna
come
over
here
come
down
to
two
lanes
again,
this
way
we're
adding
another
level
service
by
an
additional
lane
throughout
the
whole
later
partake,
and
not
just
section
for
section
acceleration,
Lane
Alexander
will
work,
but
then
you
come
back
to
two
lanes.
I
You're
gonna
bottleneck
right
there.
So
from
an
engineering
standpoint,
upgrading
the
level
of
service
with
additional
Lane
north
and
southbound
is
the
way
to
go
for
me
as
well
as
the
intersections.
You
have
these
further
apart
we're
coming
across
and
there
are
certain
things
that
would
be
doing
turn
around
so
get
practical
start
going
backwards.
No.
F
K
Think
we
all
agree
with
that.
The
issue
is,
is
that
the
question
of
when
was
never
answered
and
I?
Don't
think
you
all
can't
answer
the
question
of?
When
will
the
overpasses
come
and
I
understand
that
it's
good
to
say,
we've
got
if
we've
got
these
access
roads
ready,
then
it's
easier
to
get
the
overpasses
done.
K
H
If
we
do,
the
furniture
will
be
working
on
funding
for
interchanges.
What's
gonna
make
a
little
more
complicated
when
it
comes
to
utilities,
we
need
to
have
projects
on
the
on
the
books
with
the
project
limits.
You
know
like
da
minor
change
of
CO,
you
Atilla
T's
are
not
gonna
come
and
they're,
not
gonna.
Stick
sack
around.
A
C
Part
I
understand,
but
let
me
go
back
to
what
you
just
said,
because
you
or
who
was
up
here
last
time,
I
mean
whatever
was
three
months
six
months
eight
months
ago,
ten
months
ago,
whenever
we
talked
about
the
overpasses,
they
said
they
were
delaying
the
overpasses,
so
they
could
do
all
of
all
the
utilities
at
one
time.
Okay,
so
now
that's
not
excuse
anymore.
All
right,
we're
gonna,
do
all
the
utilities
for
the
front
end
rows
and
everything
move
all
at
one
time,
get
it
out
of
the
way.
H
Without
restriction,
because
they
well
they
astronauts
from
from
the
district's,
is
you
need
to
have
products
that
are
on
the
books
for
the
project
limits
themselves?
Okay,
what
we're
doing
writing
all
the
acquisition
extending
as
much
as
we
can
now
we're
hoping
I
mean
we
can
we
can
get
them
work
that
will
be
acquiring
the
entire
round,
but
it's
just
right
now
is
one
of
the
kind
of
the
others
types
of
policies
that
we're
looking
at
to
make
sure
we
got.
We
can
get
everything
at
once:
okay,.
E
I
think
mr.
bruckman
I
just
wanted
to
say
something.
If
you
remember
back
when
we
started
programming
the
money
for
loop
20,
the
notion
was
that
we
wanted
those
interchanges
done
because
we
wanted
people
to
be
from
from
leaf
from
South
Laredo.
You
all
the
way
to
North
Laredo
without
hitting
a
single
light.
That
was
the
whole
thing.
E
Everybody
was
on
board
with
that,
and
that
was
the
idea
now
I
understand
what
the
director
district
engineer
saying
about
the
convenience
of
having
the
outsides
built
and
all
that,
but
originally,
when
we
program
this
money
and
I
think
all
of
you
were
here.
It
was
to
create
that
straight
shot,
kind
of
notion
that
you
weren't
going
to
hit
any
lights,
we're
just
gonna
go
and
you
could
get
off
wherever
you
need
to
get
off,
but
you
would
go
from
separating
north
or
a
doe
without
any
stoplights.
Okay,.
E
Mayor
then,
we
hope
for
the
light
at
Airport
right
I
mean
and
then
you've
got
Jack
and
with
the
sand
on
you
with
it's
weird
light,
then
you
got
Jack
emit
so
forth,
so
that
was
the
original
thought,
the
other.
The
other
thing
that
that
I
wonder
about
is
this:
we're
always
told
that
you've
got
to
have
a
schematic
environmentally
clearance
before
you
move
on
and
do
your
PS
any
in
the
regular
world
when,
when,
when
we
do
a
char
Parkway,
you
know
we
can't
start
designing
anything
right
until
that
environmental
is
done.
E
Yet
that's
not
telling
us
that
hey
they're
designing
this
thing,
but
we've
never
heard
from
them.
What
is
the
ETA
on
that
environmental?
Number?
One
number
two:
we've
not
seen
the
schematic
and
how
do
you
know
that's
part
of
the
environmental
so
number
three?
Where
are
they
in
the
right-of-way
process
is?
Are
they
you
know
six
months
away
from
getting
all
the
right
away,
because
then
I
can
understand
the
urgency
in
trying
to
move
all
this
money.
E
You
know
into
a
into
a
different
form
of
the
project,
but
right
now
we
haven't
heard
those
timeframes
in
those
timelines.
I'm
not
I'm,
not
saying
that
what
they're
asking
for
is
unreasonable,
I'm
just
saying
what
is
their
rush,
because
if
you
don't
have
an
environmental,
you
don't
have
a
PS
any
and
you
don't
have
the
right-of-way.
A
I
Back
on
your
question
from
a
construction
point:
yes,
it
is
cheaper
to
do
that.
It
is
cheaper
to
build
on
the
outside.
It
is
gonna,
be
a
cost
savings.
You're
gonna
get
a
better
price
from
a
contractor
because
you're
not
having
to
deal
with
traffic
control
detours
and
doing
doing
work
in
lab
traffic.
You
either
work
on
the
outside,
where
there's
no
traffic
and
then
you
work
on
the
inside.
You
get
a
better
price,
it's
safer.
It
is
a
cheaper
construction
cost
in
tomorrow
and
it
will
save
us
some
money
and.
I
Exactly
Mary,
but
he
would
save
money
from
construction
standpoint
and
to
answer
Nathan's
question.
You
know
text
thought
you
know
we
done
a
couple
of
things
here
with
the
expedited
several
projects
and
what
we've
done
with
this
project
is
that
we've
been
given
authority
to
move
forward
with
the
design
which
was
never
done
before.
That's
something
that
we're
committed
to
that
we're
working
on
now.
As
far
as
the
schematic
environmental,
he
is
correct,
prior
to
prior
to
last
couple
years
case
any
had
to
be
completed.
I
I
A
Don't
know
where
to
do
what
what
the
Commissioner
and
because
I'm
a
member
and
of
course
no
words,
do
your
thing
present
as
a
package
and
then
we
can
decide
and
I
will
know
that
you're,
ready
and
I
think
the
question
is
more
viable
and
acted
as
body
to
say.
You
know
what
it's
less
costly
than
that
and
you're
ready,
and
we
can
exercise
this
say
here.
We
may
approve
it
the
money's
gone.
We
may
have
to
wait
no
telling
when
we.
A
I
B
A
C
I
know
what
you
know,
what
you
all
did
there
at
Clarke
and
I
really
see
it's
been
the
railroad
bridge.
That's
been
a
hard,
no,
that's
missing
everything
up,
because
the
Clarke
intersection
was
no
bad
deal.
Except
for
that
you
know
where
you
couldn't
cross
over
anymore.
You
know
and
that's
gonna
way.
It's
gonna
be
no
matter
what
you
build.
You
know
because
you're
not
gonna
be
able
to
go
if
you're
coming
from
the
cygwin
north
on
international.
I
C
But
I
just
say
one
once
once
you
start
building
the
overpass
I
mean
you,
you
know,
you're
gonna
put
the
beams
across
or
whatever
you
have
to
shut
the
intersection
down.
So
at
some
point
you
have
to
shut
the
intersection
down,
whether
it's
with
the
frontage
roads
or
not,
and
now,
once
you
start
construction,
you
can
build.
You
build
the
exterior
frontage
roads
just
like
they
did.
Camino
colombia,
you
split
off
both
side
come
back
to
the
middle
or
vice
versa.
You
know
the
outside.
You
come
to
the
middle,
like
you
get
over
there.
C
A
Know
it
currently
the
way
to
just
leave
things
alone.
You
know
the
monies
are
programmed,
so
the
overpasses
are
first,
unless
they
can
convince
us.
Otherwise,
with
all
this
there's
other
evidence
that
they
may
bring,
and
then
we
can.
We
can
tackle
this
question
down
the
road
if
you
wish
okay
moving
on
okay.
Thank
you
very
much.
L
I
guess,
from
a
construction
perspective,
I
totally
see
the
benefits
of
this
route
right.
What
the
Texas
currently
and
I
understand
the
frustration
that
Commissioner
gala
is
expressing
I
mean
we
have
been
talking
about
this
for
a
long
long
time,
and
the
army,
of
course,
has
been
involved
some
of
the
discussions
we
like
the
entire
community.
We
just
want
this
project
before
as
Wow
no
but
I
do
understand
and
I
do
see
the
benefits
that
mr.
Lucas
and
district
engineers
Ellison,
if
it
represented.
C
L
So-
and
it's
all
done
specifically
for
the
overpasses-
and
there
really
isn't
any
money
beyond
that-
that
we
can
put
forward
to
these
projects
to
get
those
work
passes,
and
so
it
really
is
what
are
the
other
component?
The
only
opportunities
may
be,
you
know
continue
to
do.
What
we
do
is
the
next
round
of
fast
lane
or
I.
Guess
it's
called
in
for
grant.
If
that
comes
out
again,
we
can
definitely
try
to
look
at
try
to
see
if
or
an
application
for,
for
that
to
try
to
get
those
other
passes.
L
A
A
M
Good
afternoon
mr.
chairman
Luis
Potosi
Webb
County
engineering
for
the
record.
The
report
is
a
short
one
today,
regarding
the
where
we
are
on
the
HR
truth.
Here
at
Grove,
we
have
received
concurrence
from
techstop
regarding
the
contracts
that
were
prepared.
We
are
preparing
a
notice
to
proceed.
It
should
be
out
of
the
office
in
the
next
couple
of
days
and
at
the
next
meeting,
I
will
bring
you
an
updated
report
on
the
timeline.
M
M
The
Webb
County
Commissioners
Court,
approved
it
once
we
got
concurrence
from
tech,
stop
we're
waiting
on
text
dot
for
the
letter
that
says
that
we
have
concurrence.
Not
just
hey.
We
concur
in
here
is
but
a
letter
from
mr.
Vela
Regas
telling
us
that
they're
in
agreement
with
the
contract
that's
prepared
and
at
that
point
we'll
go
forward
now.
C
C
We
move
forward
I
just
wanted.
That's
were
a
Monday
that
that
letter
should
have
gone
out
and
said
all
right.
Commissioner's
Court
has
approved
what
you
all
recommended
to
approve,
because
we
were
acting
up
that
text
doctor
recommendation,
so
we
approved
it
because
we
thought
you
had
already
approved
it.
We.
C
I
F
L
L
Just
as
a
paper,
what
else
the
RMA
had
presented
three
different
projects
requesting
funding
for
advancing
three
projects:
number
one
by
SIA
road
from
mines,
road
to
ice,
35,
the
QM
Industrial
Boulevard
mines,
Road,
intersection.
Improvements
proposed
turn
lanes
which
are
part
of
the
mid
range
improvements
specified
in
the
2015
PTI
study,
as
well
as
also
the
new
arterial
time
to
los
pacientes
and
south
Laredo
from
cuatro
Vientos
to
Concord,
Hills
and.
L
L
With
regards
to
lights.you
road,
of
course,
that
the
reaction
on
that
is
also
to
really
advance
that
project
forward
formally
far
past
new
finance
application
with
petitions,
patient
participation
from
the
city,
the
RMA
and
the
land
are
in
that
area
as
well
to
present
to
text
on
and,
finally,
last
but
not
least,
with
Killam
industrial
1470
turn
Hines
proposed
front
turn
lanes
coming
north
on
mines,
road
on
the
Killam
and
also
heading
west,
on
killing
north
on
mines.
Road,
the
city
will
be
assisting
us
with
that
as
well.
L
That's
in
the
immediate
that
we'll
be
doing
work
on
this
month,
other
items
that
the
RMA
is
getting
ready
to
do.
We
want
to
make
a
presentation
on
the
transportation
investment
study
that
we
completed
in
the
south
along
Route
20
from
u.s.
59
to
u.s.
83
converge.
Five.
We
made
a
presentation
last
month
and
we
intend
to
make
a
presentation
to
City
Council
for
ultimately
for
discussions
for
next
steps
to
refine
refine
that
so,
ultimately,.
L
L
With
regards
to
the
North
Laredo
webcam
transportation
planning
study
that
this
body
passed,
action
with
regards
to
funding
for
them
was
in
the
project
the
advance
funding
agreement.
Currently
that
textile
developed
is
under
review
by
the
federal
highway
administration.
These
army
has
provided
all
that
information
for
the
state
to
move
Florida.
We.
C
L
D
C
C
A
C
L
And
Commissioner,
you
know
going
back
to
the
first
three
projects
we
talked
a
little
bit
earlier.
I
mean
that's
exactly
what's
happening.
We
are
looking
to
with
the
city's
assistance
and
other
agencies
as
well.
If
you
have
three
projects
that
we're
gonna
get
push
forward,
so
ready
for
reclamation
of
construction
and
I
think
they're
gonna
be
a
lot
of
good
benefit.
Further.
L
2014
as
well
as
obviously
thousand
14
I
believe
there's
one
Texas,
Transportation
Commission
executed
and
now
we're
in
our
fourth
year
of
existence
as
of
this
month,
and
you
know,
honestly,
a
lot
of
armies
do
take
a
little
bit
of
time.
Rip
up
some.
The
earlier
armies
were
kind
of
different
cases.
You
know
each
army
is
different.
E
E
N
A
N
E
E
C
Just
trying
to
say,
because
I
know
well
been
through
this
process
before,
and
it's
really
you
know
Kansas
City
get
it
over
here
off
of
you
know
following
Wawa.
All
they
do
is
instead
of
as
fast
as
they
had
to
blow
it,
because
each
intersection,
because
they're
required
by
law
yesterday,
then
they
just
blow
it
longer
between
each
one.
So
it's
the
same
amount
of
time
and
what.
E
K
E
Correct
council
member
we've
gone
back
and
looked
at
that
and
that's
what
this
particular
study
is
focusing
on
your
total
population.
That's
affected
in
that
yellow,
red
and
orange
area
is
about
almost
90,000
people
within
the
red
zone.
It's
6500
rough
numbers
within
the
red
and
the
yellow.
Excuse
me
when
the
red
and
the
orange
it's
25,000
that
correct
yes,.
N
C
E
C
N
Boy
I
want
to
make
before
I
get
started
in
alternatives.
There's
two
ways
to
mitigate
a
railroad
crossing
once
a
supplemental
safety
measure,
another
there's
an
alternate
safety
measure.
The
main
difference
is,
if
you
recommend
alternate
safety
measures,
you
have
to
prove
to
the
Fr
a
the
efficiency.
If
you
recommend
supplemental
safety
measures,
only
there
are
100
percent
efficient
and
you
don't
have
to
prove
how
efficient
they
are.
So
once
you
establish
a
quiet
zone,
there's
no
need
to
suspect
the
efficiency
of
the
mushrooms
measurements
that
you
recommend.
It.
C
N
There's
two
different
scenarios
that
we
analyzed
one
was
a
quiet
zone
from
the
debris
to
Arkansas.
In
order
to
that,
for
that
to
be
possible,
the
readout
recrossing
would
have
to
be
closed.
This
is
due
to
the
fact
that
a
crossing
that
is
within
600
feet
of
the
quiet
zone
and
not
there
could
not
be
a
cost
within
600
feet
so
if
without
restates
often
open,
the
crossing
at
some
place
of
L
is
too
close
and
the
quiet
zone
would
not
be
approved
by
the
authority.
N
So
in
order
to
go
from
without
or
e
to
Arkansas
the
crossing
a
bleed-out
ring
must
be
close.
The
second
scenario
we
analyzed
was
a
crossing
was
a
question
from
Monterey
to
Arkansas,
which
is
a
shorter
crossing,
but
it
gets
at
least
the
question
on
the
east
side
of
35,
which
is
a
lot
of
houses
and
all
the
businesses
and
a
couple
schools.
A
A
E
Right,
so
what
we
did
a
council
member
by
the
is
we
we
looked
at
at
both
options,
one
with
regard
to
not
messing
with
any
of
the
great
crossings
in
your
district
and
also
looked
at
you
know
what
is
the
most
minimal
treatment
that
we
can
do
and
because
of
this
600
foot
requirement
that
federal
Rail
has
leave
out.
Ii
would
have
to
be
closed.
There's
a
total
daily
average
crossing
there
of
72.
It
doesn't
cut
across
Washington
it
dead-ends
into
Washington,
and
it
loops
to
sometime
in
South
on
the
north
side
of
that
railroad.
E
There's
no
houses
there
at
all,
it's
kind
of
a
warehousing
area,
and
so
that
would
be
the
only
effective
street
with
respect
to
a
closure
in
your
district.
The
other
Street
is
the
one
directly
is
West,
it's
Noah
Keast
excuse
me
and
that's
sometimes
a
thought
that
would
have
to
be
gated
and
yes,
you're
correct.
In
order
to
do
a
quiet
zone,
you
do
have
to
fix
those
crossings
so
that
they
are
secure,
I
mean
you
don't
want
and
the
reason
that
one
would
need
gates,
obviously,
is
because
you
don't
have
a
horn
blowing.
E
You
don't
know
that
the
train's
coming
you
know,
people
tend
to
just
kind
of
try
to
beat
the
train,
so
the
gates
keep
them
back
and
that
that
particular
intersection
does
not
have
gates
at
all.
So
it's
unsafe
to
begin
with,
and
probably
at
some
point
in
the
future,
I
would
imagine
text
out,
or
somebody
would
probably
help
put
a
gate
there
anyway,
but
that
would
be
one
that
would
need
a
gate.
E
The
the
other
option
is
if
they're
absolutely
can
be
no
prob
closures
on
that.
On
that
west
side,
then
we
can
still
do
quite
some
smaller
beginning
at
Arkansas
all
the
way
on
at
the
rate,
and
we
have
the
the
necessary
and
I
think
that's
without
any
closures
to,
but
we
correct
to
put
the
gates.
So,
at
the
end
of
the
day,
what
happens
is
one
closure?
It
looks
like
if
you
want
the
full
quiet
zone
and
then
we'll
have
to
and
I'll
be
going
to
council
tonight
and
asking
for
authority
to
move
forward.
E
D
K
K
N
N
We
also
have
a
future
proposal,
adding
upgrading
from
the
two
gates
to
four
gates
at
Corpus,
Christi
and
Arkansas.
Those
are
not
required
today,
but
if
they
are
able
they
are
able
to
implement
those
medications.
You
would
improve
your
quiets
and
risk
index,
which
means
is
much
less
likely
that
you
ever
get
over
the
national
threshold,
which
is
kind
of
the
key.
You
have
a
national
threshold.
You
want
to
be
under
the
farther
you're
under
it
when
it
comes
to
revising
the
quiet
zone
every
four
years,
the
more
chances
that
you
have.
E
That's
something
that
could
be
done.
You
know
right
if,
if
the
council
does
agree
to
move
forward
with
it,
quiet
zone
is
implemented.
A
year
later,
you
come
up
with
$100,000
called
two
more
gates.
In
other
words,
so
you
have
quad
gates
and
then
you
wait
another
year
and
you
come
back
and
you
do
quad
gates
it
at
Arkansas
or
what's
up
versus
1.2.
N
A
F
E
K
E
Sometimes
they
will
pay.
I
mean
I,
know
that
when
we're
talking
you
pee
about
you
know,
closing
certain
grade
crossings
I
mean
it's
some
of
them.
They'll
offer
you
up
to
I
hate,
to
say
this
number
publicly
like
eighty
thousand
dollars.
That's
not
always
the
case
you
know
depends
upon
how
much
they
want
close
to,
but
you
can
get
some
money
from
them.
You
normally
to
do
that.
Not
to
mention
I.
E
Think
text
also
has
a
program
that
they
will
pay
you
it's
not
a
lot
of
money,
it's
about
seven
five
hundred
dollars,
I
think
when
you
close
down
a
grade
crossing
as
well,
but
you
have
to
apply
for
it,
and
so
we
haven't
really
delved
into
that
specific,
because
you
know
we're
kind
of
waiting
to
see
what
the
council's
gonna
have
react
to
this.
But
there
are
some
other
options
for
forgetting
some
of
that
funding
for
it.
A
E
A
A
Next
discussion
with
possible
action
on
the
River
Road
project,
I
I
did
contact
mister
robert
muller.
He's
he's
been
out
this
months
that
he
did
say
that
he
would
meet
with
myself
and
the
city
manager
in
september
or
sometime
early
september,
hopefully
yeah.
So
we
can
at
least
start
addressing
some
of
the
proposals
that
the
people
there
at
the
end
of
what
done
in
this
running
area
would
want
to
present.
So,
hopefully
that's
that's.
Gonna
carry
the
conversation
further
run.
So
what
yeah
I'll
report
back.
A
E
Mr.
chairman,
I
went
ahead
and
spoke
with
mr.
Gil
Wilson,
with
the
take
stop
rail
division.
If
you
will
recall
this
was
a
study
that
was
part
of
the
federal
earmark
it
was
actually
it
says
the
rate
of
additional
rail
mobility
study.
It
has
been
presented
to
you
some
months
back.
Mr.
Wilson
came
down.
You
will
recall
there
were
some
issues
with
respect
to
know
some
of
you,
those
who
wanted
to
have
some
input
into
that,
and
so
the
consultant
and
Tech's
thought
real
division
kind
of
stopped
met
with
them
at
several
meetings.
E
They
had
a
public
meeting
and
so
forth
and
they're
in
the
final
final
phase
of
just
kind
of
re,
rewriting
sections
of
the
report,
mr.
Wilson
has
indicated
that
they
will
have
a
final
report
that
they
will
be
disseminating
both
on
their
website
and
to
us
by
the
end
of
this
month,
and
so
everything
that
you
all
heard
about
the
different
options.
For
example,
one
of
them
was
to
completely
elevate
to
caseous,
was
one
of
the
options.
A
E
Au
P,
section
too,
but
the
one
I'm
talking
about
it
was
actually
part
of
the
earmark.
The
other
one
was
to
go
below
grade
a
convent
and
something
idea,
that's
all
still
in
the
report.
None
of
that
has
changed
according
to
mr.
Wilson
and
then
the
other
one
was
talking
about
possible
crossings
on
the
U
P
line.
E
H
That
the
were
wearing
now
we
receive
the
first
draft
scope
from
the
consultant.
You
know
we'll
be
working
on
the
on
the
outer
loop
alignment,
we're
on
the
process
right
now
or
changing
the
scope,
we're
rewarding
the
scope
and
adding
some
of
these.
You
know
test
functions,
don't
want
for
them
to
consider
the
previous
study
and
make
sure
that
gets
incorporated
into
this
new
study,
so
hopefully
by
next
month,
which
you
have
already
a
finalized
scope.
You
start
working
on
the
study
itself.
Okay,.
A
O
O
Okay,
yeah,
we
still
have
some
railroad
issues
panel
yeah.
As
far
as
getting
calls
for
surface
preparation
work.
We
have
on
August
15th
some
of
those
costs
for
the
track
and
gauge
modifications,
and
we
do
have
some
other
documents
pending
from
the
railroad
such
as
the
right
away
into
agreement
and
the
flagging
and
Protective
Services
estimate
cost
estimates
that
the
city
will
have
to
participate
in
okay,.
A
A
P
A
O
O
Q
Than
focuses
good
sure,
no
no
I
just
wanted
to
discuss,
look
up
at
the
phasing.
What
we
did
is
we
did
a
three
phase
plan
for
this.
So
the
two
years,
the
twin
app
here
schedule
is
not
closing
the
whole
intersection.
It
were
first
gonna
start
on
the
I
guess
from
Santa
Maria
westbound,
that's
the
first
phase
that
we're
gonna
close
down
so
Kelton
and
and
some
time
area
are
gonna,
be
open.
You
know
for
that
prompt
group,
so
the
goal
is
to
not
close
intersection.
Q
The
west
side
are
almost
look.
Duration
on
the
west
side
of
Kelton
is
gonna,
be
closed
down
when
we
finished
the
project.
So
that's
why
we
went
with
that
that
section
first,
because
at
the
end
of
the
day,
when
we
built
this,
it's
going
to
be
closed
down.
So
we
went
with
that
for
space,
so
we
can
have
all
the
Elvis
businesses
in
that
area
already
accustomed
to
that.
That's
intersections
close
that
egg
crossing
yeah,
but
we
didn't.
A
R
R
R
R
R
Also
a
matching
source
for
for
our
grants
from
little
administration,
we
received
an
operating
grant
of
three
point:
three
seven
million
dollars
approximately
year
and
it's
about
twenty
two
percent:
the
enhanced
mobility
grant
five
through
ten
bus
bus
facilities,
five,
three,
three:
nine,
those
two
grants
or
capital
grants;
those
are
for
bus
facilities
for
bands
best
purchases,
and
that
does
not
include
in
our
in
our
math
or
fifteen
point
four.
So
that's
excluding,
but
we
went
ahead
and
just
want
to
mention
that
we
do
receive
that
program.
Okay,.
R
There's
no
formal
money,
you
Syria,
okay,
including
the
state
operating
grant
from
textile,
that's
also
formula
money
and
the
good
thing
about
ticks.
That
is,
is
I
know
it's
only
four
percent,
but
there's
no
master
part
on
that
one.
So
that's
pretty
good
and,
lastly,
star
every
time
some
revenue
of
one
percent
that
covers
basically
the
sources
that
operational
Metro.
We
do
have
a
the
Transit
Center
downtown
its
self-sufficient.
R
P
G
A
quick
comment
sure
just
to
remind
you
also:
we
had
we
had
been
approached
by
the
diocese
of
Laredo,
whereby
they
had
a
history
of
a
couple
of
years
of
being
able
to
advertise
on
in
Metro
and
then
I
believe
a
couple
of
years
ago.
Right,
it
wasn't
even
20
years
ago
that
in
Metro
told
him
that
they
could
no
longer
advertise
their
buses.
I
guess
you
can
just
look
into
that
sure.
