A
Moving

ESPN
X
Games
2017
large
block

permit
item
13
is
the
Hennepin
South
Street
reconstruction
project?
B
So
I
just
wanted
to
briefly
comment
just
because
there
has
been
so
much
community
engagement
about
this
kind
of
where
we
landed
and
I.
Don't
think
it
really
needs
a
full
presentation,
but
that
is
available
on
the
website
for
any
council
members
or
constituents.
You
want
to
see
it.
This
is
a
roadway.
It's
about
six
blocks
through
uptown,
a
lot
of
demand
on
this
part
of
the
street
corridor
right
and
so
with
a
full
reconstruction.
B
We
use
the
approach
of
our
Complete
Streets
policy
to
look
at
how
we
can
improve
the
street
for
the
50
years
that
it's
expected
to
be
in
the
in
the
new
configuration
in
the
new
design
and
we
were
able
to
provide
the
staffs
recommendation
wider
and
more
biting
sidewalks.
There
was
a
lot
of
interest
in
safer
pedestrian
crossings
and
improved
transit
service
and
that's
reflected
in
staffs
recommendation.
There
was
a
lot
of
big
ideas
about
how
to
reimagine
that
first
block
between
lake
and
31st
and
I
know.
B
We're
able
to
add
greenery
and
trees
to
the
portion
between
31st
and
36th,
which
is
very
residential
part
of
the
street,
so
that
will
be
a
huge
amenity
for
the
folks
who
live
along
this
corridor
and
as
well
as
the
commercial
uses
and
then.
Finally,
this
is
on
our
bikes
master
plan
map
and,
although
I
personally
told
staff
at
the
beginning
that
I
thought
we
should
really
focus
and
prioritize
the
pedestrian
and
transit
accommodations
on
this
corridor.
B
Finally,
there
was
interest
in
retaining
as
much
on
street
parking
as
possible,
and
this
design
does
that
with
some
trade
offs,
that
there
is
some
parking
removal,
but
not
the
full
parking
removal
that
would
have
been
required
for
a
curb
separated
bike.
Lane
so
I
do
also
have
some
constituents
are
that
are
disappointed
that
this
bike
lane
is
on
street
and
not
not
on
the
curb.
So
anyway.
B
B
A
B
C
C
D
Morning
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
as
rather
noted,
I'm
Kathleen
mail,
I'm,
a
supervisor,
transportation,
planner
and
public
works,
division
of
transportation
planning
and
programming
and
I
pleased
to
be
here
to
talk
about
the
work
that
really
the
whole
department
has
done
around
Complete
Streets
and
since
its
passage
last
May
so
and
just
over
a
year
and
excited
to
share
some
of
the
highlights
of
our
work
to
date.
D
To
start
with
some
of
the
things
that
have
happened,
this
came
through
Council
a
couple
of
cycles
ago.
We
have
changed
our
parallel
line,
crosswalks
at
all
of
our
signalized
intersections,
or
we
are
in
the
process
of
doing
that
this
season
to
our
Minneapolis
Libra
crosswalks.
This
provides
significant
visibility,
improvements
for
at
all
of
our
signalized
intersections,
for
where
the
pedestrians
are
crossing
and
then
the
solid
stop
bars
while
being
placed
back
a
bit
further
to
allow
greater
room
for
pedestrians
to
cross.
D
We
have
reduced
the
amount
of
time
to
get
our
non-compliant
sidewalks
cleared
in
the
winter
by
eliminating
one
of
the
initial
inspections,
physical
inspections
that
our
inspectors
would
have
to
go
out
on
site
after
a
complaint
was
registered
through
our
3-1-1
system.
So
this,
in
effect,
has
reduced
them
on
a
time
to
establish
a
work
order
on
a
non-compliant
sidewalks.
By
about
two
to
three
days.
D
There
are
two
new
proposed
capital
programs
in
our
2018
to
2022
CIP
that
really
come
out
of
this
policy
as
well.
The
two
are
the
pedestrian
safety
program,
and
this
program
is
aimed
to
improve
Street
crossings
at
unof,
signalized
intersections
by
different
geometric
or
curb
work
that
would
support
easier
crossing
for
pedestrians.
There
can
be
potentially
mid-block
iterations
of
this
as
well.
D
That's
the
primary
focus
and
additionally,
a
sidewalk
gap
program,
and
this
program
looks
to
fill
some
of
the
gaps
that
exist
around
our
sidewalk
network
throughout
the
city,
so
rendering
at
the
bottom
shows
a
stretch
of
Chicago
between
44th
and
46th
cells.
A
potential
candidate
in
our
sidewalk
gap
program.
D
Samet
our
crossing
is
a
very
important
non
motorized
connection
between
11th
Avenue
South
and
15th
Avenue
South,
connecting
the
Cedar
Riverside
and
Elliot
Park
and
Downtown
East
neighborhoods.
There's
a
plan
to
be
an
improved
crossing
at
15th
at
15th
near
the
light
rail
station,
improve
biking
and
locking
connections
on
5th
lighting
improvements
and
additional
streetscaping
opportunities.
D
The
past
year
is
also
seeing
the
creation
of
our
20-year
streets
funding
plan
and
the
methodology
in
terms
of
how
projects
our
score
really
reflects.
The
Complete
Streets
policy
in
particular,
you
can
see
this
in
our
moat
reflected
in
our
modal
needs
criteria,
where
the
point
allocation
reflects
the
Complete
Streets
policy.
D
There's
also,
we
now
include
our
Complete
Streets
checklist
as
an
attachment
and
all
of
our
RCA
s
or
layout
approvals.
This
is
an
example
of
the
26-28
protected
bike
way
and
that
really
details
the
surrounding
context
and
why
decisions
are
being
made
as
such
presented
in
the
layout.
It
really
gives
a
lot
of
that
background
and
is
able
to
share
that
information
with
the
public
and
those
interested
stakeholders
who
want
to
learn
more
about
how
and
why
these
decisions
are
being
made.
D
There
are
a
number
of
studies
we
currently
have
underway,
the
first
being
our
Minneapolis
Austrian
and
Viking
winter
maintenance
study
is
nearing
conclusion
and
really
looking
at
what
existing
practices
are
in
Minneapolis.
What
other
cities
around
the
country
and
in
Canada
are
doing
to
really
make
walking
and
biking
an
option
year-round
and
then
presenting
potential
recommendations
for
the
city
to
take
up.
D
Similarly,
we're
looking
into
support
and
highlight
even
further
the
potential
of
our
Complete
Streets
policy
through
the
comp
plan
update
and
the
transportation
related
policies
and
action
items
that
will
be
a
part
of
that
process.
So
we've
been
working
closely
with
see
ped
on
that
effort.
We
have
our
eye
toward
our
access
update,
which
is
on
the
near-term
horizon,
with
work
beginning,
hopefully
in
2018
on
that
and
really
looking.
D
There
are
so
many
opportunities
that
present
themselves
within
public
works
all
the
time
and
so
really
looking
to
create
and
seize
those
opportunities
to
further
the
goals
of
the
Complete
Streets
policy.
With
that,
our
staff
is
out
at
every
open,
Street
this
summer,
collecting
feedback
on
our
20-year
streets
funding
plan
and
our
prioritization
and
how
we
can
better
integrate.
You
know
what
the
public
is
hoping
to
see
their
concerns
and
desires
into
our
planning
framework,
and,
and
really
we
see
all
of
our
kind
of
building
on
on
that
document
in
our
Complete
Streets
policy.
D
So
integrating
all
that
this
is
the
picture
on
the
left
is
us.
We
have
t-shirts
that
our
staff
are
wearing,
and
this
is
the
image
there
that
t-shirts
and
finally,
there's
a
lot
of.
We
have
a
number
of
planned
work
products
that
we
are
in
different
stages
of
development
and
for
all
of
these
I'll
go
through
them,
but
we're
really
looking
to
identify
kind
of
where
the
city
is
at
right.
D
Now,
what
are
national
best
practices
and
guidelines
from
either
you
know
national
guidelines
or
best
practices
from
other
cities
around
the
country,
and
then
how
do
we
create
a
platform
that
we
can
take
up
as
policy
item
in
Access,
Minneapolis
or
another
venue
to
to
make
decisions
on
these
items?
So,
for
example,
traffic
signal
operations
we're
looking
at
our
past
initiatives?
What
are
our
plans
moving
forward
from
both
a
signal
infrastructure
and
operating
scheme
that
works
currently
underway
in
terms
of
multimodal
level
of
service?
D
We
are
beginning
work
on
seeing
what's
right
for
Minneapolis
investigating
what
other
cities
are
doing.
What
that
guidance
is.
Are
there
other
tools
that
get
us
to
our
same
the
same
outcomes
of
multimodal
level
of
service
that
maybe
work
better
for
the
city
with
the
goal
of
you
know
improving
pedestrian
and
bicyclist
travel
through
intersection?
D
Similarly,
curbside
uses
kind
of
the
same
framework.
What
what
is
our
current
policy
structure
or
processing
practices
internally?
What
are
others
doing?
How
can
we
create
a
solid
fan
foundation
for
that
that
work
and
those
decisions
as
it
comes
to
Complete,
Streets
policies,
detour
management?
We
are
currently
reviewing
city
processes
and
procedures
used
to
detour
the
traveling
public,
to
alternate
routes
and
determining
if
any
updates
are
needed
or
desired
in
terms
of
greenways
we're
conducting
an
internal
study
of
looking
at
all
the
different
neighborhood
initiatives.
D
What
different
status
those
different
initiatives
are
at
again
what
our
national
best
practices.
What's
the
definition
of
a
Greenway?
How
do
we
want
to
define
that
moving
forward
in
terms
of
share
these
streets?
There's
two
pieces
here:
one
is
looking
at
an
evaluation
of
our
first
shared
street
unless
twenty-ninth,
seeing
how
that
space
is
being
used.
Is
it
meeting
the
goals
that
were
initially
laid
out
in
that
project,
development
and
kind
of
supporting
that
work
again?
D
What
is
that
national
guidance
and
creating
a
white
paper
on
shared
streets
and
how
we
want
to
frame
up
that
concept
for
our
next
iteration
of
the
access
update
and
then
two
other
items
here
we
are
partnering
with
a
series
of
partners,
the
people
for
bikes,
Bennett
Mifflin,
which
is
a
private
firm
in
Portland
State
University
on
a
street
improvement
project.
This
is
really
looking
to
see
models
after
in
New
York,
City
study
done
in
2012,
or
that
economic
input
impact
on
the
surrounding
businesses.
D
When
you
need
to
do
some
projects
that
alter
the
use
of
the
right-of-way
to
either
have
more
space
allocated
to
walking
and
biking.
So
we
are
one
of
eight
cities
that
are
partnering
with
this
project
and
we'll
be
excited
to
if
the
results
of
that
study
later
and
then
building
off
of
that
or
I
guess.
D
A
Questions
for
the
staff
presentation
questions
seeing
none
well,
thank
you
for
the
work
and
the
great
update.
We,
of
course,
were
very
proud
of
the
work
that
we
created
in
terms
of
the
guiding
policy.
It's
well
crafted
and
very
well
respected,
I,
think
of
not
just
here
but
also
in
other
cities,
but
the
proof
is
in
the
pudding
and
just
to
see
how
it's
already
being
implemented,
how
its
already
having
a
very
direct
influence
on
the
shape
of
our
lived
environment
and
how
we
move
around
is
I.
A
B
You
mr.
chair
about
that
I
wasn't
quite
ready.
I
just
wanted
to
say
I
think
I
have
seen
in
a
relatively
short
time
the
ways
that
you've
highlighted
this
policy
directing
the
work
of
the
department
and
I
think
it's
really
powerful
to
see
how
a
four
page
policy
document
and
the
strong
statement
of
policy
has
come
to
life
in
all
of
these
different
ways
and
I.
Think
one
area
where
we
hear
a
lot
of
needs
for
further
work
is
on
our
pedestrian
safety
policies
and
implementation
procedures.
B
Just
wondered
if
you
could
talk
more
about
where
you
see
that
going
in
the
future.
I
know
you
have
a
couple
examples
of
the
new
crosswalks
standard,
the
winter
snow
clearance.
I
know
there's
interest
from
the
pedestrian
Advisory
Committee
and
looking
at
signal
timing
for
pedestrians
and
our
curb
ramp
reconstruction
policies.
B
Looking
at
ways,
we
could
potentially
integrate
our
ad
a
related
policy
where
you
know
compliance
word
with
other
pedestrian,
closet
improvements
and
again
I
would
just
want
to
say
I
know,
you've
done
an
extraordinary
amount
of
work
with
a
policy
to
date
and
I
just
wondered
that
feels
like
a
piece
of
the
work
that
needs
to
continue
growing
in
the
future.
Sure
I'm.
D
The
signal
operations
piece
in
terms
of
pedestrian
timing
is
part
of
our
overall
looking
at
our
traffic
signals
so
that
work,
our
traffic
and
pregnant
services
division
is
looking
at
in
terms
of
the
mention
of
the
ad
a
ramp.
You
I
forgot
to
put
into
the
presentation
at
plans.
Work
is
also
updating
our
ABA
transition
plan.
So
thank
you
for
pointing
that
out
and
we
miss
that
I
did
not
put
that
in
there,
but
we
are
looking
to
start
that
update
in
2017
and
really
looking
holistically
at
not
just
our
ramps.
D
But
what
is
it
that
makes
a
city
accessible
for
those
who
are
traveling
by
all
sorts
of
different
means,
and
so
that's
an
important
part.
We
are
consistently
interacting
with
our
transformation
management
and
repair
group
on
our
ad,
a
ramp
replacement
program
and
making
improvements
in
those
processes
and
and
really
integrating
the
planning
work
that
we're
doing
with
them,
and
so
that's
an
ongoing
conversation
and
effort
that
we
are
working
on,
but
I'm,
certainly
looking
forward
to
the
ATA
transition
plan,
update
I.
B
Guess
I
just
finally
say
that
you
know
I
know
you're,
balancing
the
workload
of
getting
these
projects
out
the
doors
we've.
Given
you
a
lot
more
projects
to
try
to
get
done
and
I
just
appreciate
again
the
way
that
you've
been
able
to
also
do
these
sort
of
policy
changes,
and
these
system-wide
implementations
are
implements.
You
know
that
are
really
bringing
the
Complete
Streets
policy
to
life
and
making
our
streets
safer.
So
thanks
again
for
all
the
great
work
and.
A
E
E
I
at
that
time
had
asked
some
questions
about
Boulevard
space
as
part
of
our
greening
Network
and
trying
to
understand
how
what
we
understood
about
that
Boulevard
space
citywide
and
did
some
followup
with
staff,
and
so
that
is
really
in
my
mind
a
little
bit
of
the
genesis
of
this
staff
direction.
Although
the
staff
Direction
is
really
broader
than
just
possible
a
large
space,
so
it
and
just
to
kind
of
say
a
piece
about
the
boulevard
and
why
I'm
interested
in
it?
You
know
it
it's
really
for
communities.
This
is
a
significant
piece
of
kehna.
E
How
you
give
you
the
space
around.
You
is
the
boulevard
and
it
is
protects.
Of
course,
the
pedestrians
and
so
in
some
ways
adds
to
the
sidewalk
space.
By
giving
a
little
bit
of
reading
room.
It
is,
of
course,
important
to
our
storm
water
work
and,
of
course,
also
is
the
home
space
to
building
our
tree
canopy,
depending
on
the
breadth
of
the
boulevard
space.
That's
there
and
I'm
curious,
and
we
don't
really
have
data
to
answer
these
questions
about
you
know.
E
Are
there
issues
of
equity
in
terms
of
what
spaces
around
the
city
have
boulevards
and
which
do
not
or
which
have
broad
boulevards
and
which
do
not
and
other
things
like
that,
and
then
because
this
is
important
space?
How
might
this
data
once
we
get
it
and
findings
that
we
might
make
about
that
data,
help
influence
the
various
decisions
that
were
making,
including
developed
continuing
our
development
of
criteria.
D
E
The
twenty-year
Street
funding
plan
continuing
to
evolve
what
is
encompassed
in
the
Complete
Streets
policy
and
I'm
sure
many
other
things
as
well.
So
the
staff
direction
is
says
this
green
space
in
the
right-of-way
and
in
public
spaces
is
an
important
component
of
the
Complete
Streets
policy
and
can
contribute
to
sustainable
stormwater
management
practices.
E
B
You,
mr.
chair
I'm,
really
supportive
of
this
and
I'm
happy
to
see
coming
forward.
I
I
wondered
if,
if
we
could
just
have
a
really
brief
update
on
how
this
interacts
with
the
mapping
and
modeling
work,
that
I
understand
is
happening
with
stormwater
management
and
I
just
want
to
make
sure
that
that's
still
progressing.
We
have
the
resources
to
do
that.
F
Good
morning,
yeah,
that's
an
excellent
question
couple:
member
and
members
we
are
working
with
the
Transportation
Planning
Group
and
the
rest
of
Public
Works
as
we
develop
the
models
so
we're
developing
new
water
model.
That
looks
at
what's
coming
out
of
all
the
stormwater
pipes
and
the
water
quantity
models.
It
looks
at
what
size
of
the
pipes
where
the
restrictions
and
what
might
be
necessary
to
reduce
risks
related
to
flooding
and
all
of
that
is
happening
in
concert
with,
are
televising
and
understanding
the
condition
and
risks
associated
with
the
age
of
the
infrastructure.
F
So
I
see
this
layer
as
like
another
line
of
evidence
that
we
can
use
as
a
division
to
think
about
where
we
invest
going
forward,
where
we
have
space
to
do.
Work
related
to
greening
above
the
ground,
whether
it's
aesthetics
or
trees
or
greening
below
the
ground
to
mitigate
some
of
our
pollutant
discharge
or
flood
risks.
B
F
Excellent
excellent
clarification,
so,
yes,
the
the
models
that
have
been
highlighted
in
her
presentation
are
underway
and
we
expect
them
to
be
ready
for
use
in
2018,
and
at
that
point
we
will
develop
a
checklist
or
a
toolkit.
So
we
know
when
street
layout
come
up
or
project
opportunities
present
themselves.
We
can
look
at.
Is
this
a
good
place
to
do
pollutant
minimization?
Is
this
a
place
where
we
need
to
work
on
flooding?
Is
this
a
area
that
is
necessary
or
right
for
infrastructure
investment
because
of
age
or
condition,
and
then
is
there
the
space?
F
B
A
Yeah
I
really
appreciate
the
staff
direction
as
well
in
two
parts
of
it
in
particular,
it's
truly
a
data-driven
statement.
As
a
matter
of
fact,
I
think
the
word
data
is
every
other
sentence,
so
it's
a
definitely
got
that
there
and
I
think
that's
important,
because
we
have
a
data-driven
department
and
I
think
that's
how
we
move
forward,
but
I
think
this
also,
more
importantly,
highlight
something:
I
think
that
needs
to
be
embedded
in
every
aspect
of
our
plans
and
policies.
A
The
particular
effort
is
where
the
rubber
really
hits
the
road
and
some
of
this
stuff,
and
so
Thank
You
councillor
wouldn't
burden
for
drafting
this
in
that
manner
we
do
have
a
force
further
discussion,
all
in
care
of
the
staff
direction,
as
drafted,
say
I
sent
in
a
that
carries
any
further
discussion
on
our
presentation.
I
will
move
to
receiving
file
all
in
favor,
say
aye
I
sent
a
name
that
carries
and
we
are
adjourned.
