A
B
You,
madam
chair
I,
just
want
to
make
a
brief
comment
on
ID
number
14,
please
just
thank
you.
This
is
one
of
a
number
protected
by
great
projects
that
are
being
implemented
this
year.
Just
wanted
to
comment,
because
there's
been
a
lot
of
community
engagement
about
this.
We
had
a
total
of
three
public
meetings
during
the
planning
phase
a
couple
of
years
ago
and
then
another
public
meeting,
plus
them
meeting
with
the
business
community
and
a
lot
of
outreach
to
individual
property
owners
and
businesses
and
land
users
like
pet
church
nearby.
B
So
I
just
want
to
think
that,
for
all
the
extra
attention
and
effort
that
went
into
engaging
with
the
details
of
this
project,
I'm
really
excited
to
see
the
extension
of
this
protected
bike
way
through
the
word
ends
now
right
up
as
the
freeway
begins
and
I
often
hear
from
constituents.
Who've
been
anxious
for
this
to
go
through,
so
it
was
not
without
a
lot
of
discussion,
but
I
appreciate
all
the
work
again
and
supportive
of
this
project.
Sig's
manager.
Thank.
A
You
any
other
thoughts
on
any
of
the
other
items,
all
those
in
favor
of
passing
the
consent
agenda.
Please
say
aye
all
right
opposed
that
carries
next
I'd
like
to
move
to
the
public
hearing.
We
have
the
pen,
Oliver,
concrete
streets,
rehabilitation,
program,
project,
approval
and
assessment.
We
have
any
way
splendid
now.
C
D
Thank
you
good
morning,
madam
vice
chair
council
members.
My
name
is
Ola
Mercier

Today's
item
is
the
pen
Oliver,
concrete,
Street
rehabilitation,
project,
hearing
and
project
approval
on
March
10th,
2017
city
council,
Disney
the
streets
and
improvements
as
far
the
pen
Oliver
project
streets
included
in
the
project
include
plan
Avenue
South
between
Westlake,
the
Isles
Parkway
and
Franklin
Avenue
and
Oliver
Avenue
South
between
Franklin
Avenue
and
Douglas
Avenue.
D
The
road
within
the
project
is
approaching
50
years
of
age,
and
this
project
will
extend
its
lifespan
of
the
pavement
work
in
a
payment
assistance,
removing
defective
joints
between
the
concrete
panels
in
the
roadway
and
replacing
it
with
new
concrete.
Other
work
includes
partial
and
full
concrete
panel
replacement,
where
smaller
repairs
are
not
viable.
The
entire
roadway
surface
will
then
be
diamond
ground
and
to
a
smooth
surface
at
the
inclusion
of
the
project.
The
work
is
also
being
coordinated
with
some
utility
work,
specifically
with
some
storm
sewer
upgrades
and
also
some
gas
upgrades
by
Centrepointe.
D
The
construction
estimate
is
1
million
dollars,
of
which
96
thousand
two
hundred
fifty
dollars
would
be
funded
with
assessments
and
their
major
looketh
on
the
assessments
were
calculate
using
the
2017
uniform
assessment
rate
for
resurfacing
projects
of
sixty-five
cents
per
square
foot
for
non
residential
properties
and
22
cents
of
square-foot
residential
properties.
Project

an
to

D
A
You
any
questions.
That's
from
here,
I'd
like
to
open
the
public
hearing.
Is
there
anybody
here
that
would
like
to
speak
on
behalf
of
this
project?
Is
there
anyone
that
would
like
to
speak
here
and
behalf
of
this
project
with
no
one
here
to
speak
on
behalf
of
this
project?
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
approval
of
this
item?
E
You,
madam
chair,
that's
why
I'm
here
today
for
this
project,
which
is
a
huge
issue
in
our
ward
and
I,
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
attending
two
very
well
attended
neighborhood
meetings,
I
attended,
one
of
them,
I
know
more
about
concrete
rehabilitation
than
I
ever
would
want
to
know,
and
I
actually
am
a
big
fan
of
the
project.
We'll
see
what
happens.
I'll
note.
This
is
immediately
adjacent
to
the
Kenwood
school.
E
One
of
the
reasons
this
project
was
picked
is
because
of
its
adjacency
to
the
Kenwood
school
and
also
Kenwood
Park,
which
are
both
really
heavily
utilized
amenities
in
neighborhoods.
So
again,
I
just
want
to
thank
staff
for
all
the
work
they've
done
to
get
to
the
point
where
there
isn't
anyone
here
to
complain
about
an
assessment
and
also
for
your
incredible
attention
to
detail
with
regard
to
how
this
will
be
done
while
the
school
is
out
and
completed
before
the
time
school
start.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
everyone.
Super.

Minneapolis
received
an
environmental
assistance
grant
from
the
MPCA
from
Minnesota
Pollution
Control
Agency
in
April
2015,
and
this
study
was
to
evaluate
approaches
to
increase
the
diversion
of
commercial,
industrial
and
multi-family
waste
within
the
city,
and
this
study
will
be
used
in
furthering
zero
waste
planning
efforts
in
the
city
and
we
ended
up
contracting
with
burns
and
McDonnell,
which
is
a
consultant
for
the
city
to
conduct.
This
study
and
I'd
like
to
introduce
Bob
Craig's
from
burns.
Mcdonald's
provide
a
presentation.
H
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
be
here
this
morning,
chair
committee,
members
I
want
to
give
you
an
overview
of
the
study
as
David
outlined
and,
as
this
slide
reflects
talk
about
the
goal
of
the
study,
the
tasks
that
were
included
in
the
study
itself
identify
the
next
steps
and
in
the
context
of
gathering
input,
which
is
really
critical.
Overall
to
the
study.
H
As
part
of
the
study
framework,
we
had
a
steering
team
that
was
composed
of
representatives
from
the
city
staff,
as
well
as
council
and
mayor's
office,
and
so
we
collaborated
closely
in
terms
of
making
sure
that
we
had
a
good
sense
of
what
some
of
the
present
goals
and
objectives
are,
as
well
as
the
present
on
circumstances.
Here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,.
H
So,
whenever
you're
doing
these
types
of
studies
and
I've
been
involved
in
working
with
local
governments
for
over
25
years
now,
it's
always
critical
to
make
sure
that
you
define
what
the
goals
are
as
well
as
understand
what
the
objectives
are,
because
usually
the
objectives
are
multiple
and
you
need
to
be
clear
in
terms
of
what
we're
trying
to
achieve.
So
as
this
outlines,
the
goal
was
to
identify
feasible
program
strategies
and
options
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
further
about
what
a
strategy
an
option
is,
and
the
full
report
defines
both
strategies
and
options.
H
Pretty
clearly
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis
to
increase
its
diversion
and
diversion
is
the
version
from
disposal
of
commercial
industrial
multifamily
waste
so
in
the
in
the
solid
waste
industry.
Typically,
when
folks
talk
about
collecting,
refuse
it's
either
on
the
residential
side
or
the
non
residential
side,
the
city
of
Minneapolis
has
municipal
crews
the
collect
refuse
from
homes,
as
well
as
a
consortium
of
private
haulers,
on
the
non-residential
side,
which
is
commercial,
industrial
and
multi-family
waste,
and
that
is
essentially
waste.
That's
generated
in
apartments
that
is
five
units
or
more
so.
H
So,
in
terms
of
the
study,
what
was
important
is
is
that
we
had
a
good
sense
of
the
existing
conditions
or
the
existing
program.
The
report
talks
about
that.
In
short,
as
I
will
mention,
when
we
talk
about
best
practices
with
other
communities,
it's
an
open,
competitive
system,
which
means
basically,
the
customers
contract
directly
with
their
service
providers
on
there's
also
a
framework
of
ordinances
that
address
commercial
waste
collection
and
diversion.
So
the
second
task
is
to
research
the
best
practices
which
I'll
focus
on
today
identify
alternative
strategies
and
options.
H
H
So,
as
I
outlined
once
you
characterized
what
the
existing
collection
program
is
here
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
we
undertook
a
look
at
some
communities
to
look
at
best
practices
and
with
the
goal
of
promoting
diversion,
reducing
greenhouse
gas
generation.
In
the
context
of
climate
action
plan,
as
well
as
to
look
at
the
impact
on
roads
and
infrastructure,
it
was
important
to
look
at
communities
that
have
approached
this
particular
issue
from
a
variety
of
perspectives.
So
you
can
get
a
contrast
and
underst
of
what
some
of
these
communities
are
doing.
H
They
basically
implemented
a
universal
recycling
ordinance,
so
the
relevance
of
that
is,
as
you
can
see,
in
the
slide
that
it
lays
out
specifically
materials
that
need
to
be
recycled,
ensuring
container
capacity
and
convenient
location
for
customers
providing
education
to
those
that
are
generating
the
waste
through
city's
business
outreach
and
your
reporting
by
haulers
and
then
lastly,
an
annual
diversion
plan
which
is
required
so
again.
The
importance
of
this
particular
example
is
that
the
city
used
its
ordinance
as
a
framework
whereby
to
establish
standards
in
terms
of
providing
service
and
recycling.
H
One
particular
aspect,
I
would
note
is
there
is
a
plan,
that's
required
by
all
generators?
That's
the
annual
diversion
plan
and
the
funding
for
this
particular
program
for
the
City
of
Austin
was
through
what
was
called
a
clean
community
fee.
It's
a
fee,
that's
paid
by
residents
and
by
businesses.
The
City
of
Austin
has
a
90
percent
diversion
goal,
that's
consistent
with
their
zero
waste
goal,
they're
presently
at
42
percent,
as
of
2016.
In
summary,
this
reflects
setting
some
standards.
H
The
ordinance
the
second
community
that
we
looked
at
was
the
city
of
Portland,
which
has
been
involved
in
fostering
waste
diversion
for
a
number
of
years.
They
have
a
residential
program
where
they
have
franchises,
which
means
they
have
his
own
set
up
for
haulers
on
the
non
commercial
or
non-residential
side,
as
I
mentioned,
the
commercial,
which
is
what
we're
focusing
on.
H
They
also
have
an
open
system,
as
outlined
on
the
slide
they
had
37
licensed
haulers
and
specifically,
what
they
use
is
their
licensing
program
to
set
the
framework
to
promote
more
waste
diversion
as
outlined
here.
They
focus
on
what
materials
to
collect
they
require
a
quarterly
reports
of
the
haulers
and
the
quantities
that
are
being
collected.
One
of
the
objectives
of
the
study,
as
discussed
by
the
steering
team,
was
to
address
some
of
the
information
gap
as
it
relates
to
what's
being
recycled
on
the
commercial
side.
H
So
this
particular
approach
uses
licensing
as
a
means
in
which
to
generate
that
information.
They
have
mandatory
recycling
important
with
the
in
Portland,
with
the
75%
recycling
rate
that
they're
trying
to
achieve
it's
a
unique
system.
All
the
waste
goes
directly
to
a
facility,
that's
publicly
owned,
and
so
it
has
a
system-wide
tipping
fee.
So
there's
much
more
influence
in
terms
of
the
overall
system.
H
It's
funded
specifically
through,
what's
called
a
per
ton
feed,
so
every
ton
of
waste
that's
collected
within
the
city
of
Portland
on
the
commercial
side,
there's
a
fee
of
8
dollars
and
30
cents
that
is
charged
and
that
is
used
to
help
fund
the
program
again.
I'll
just
emphasize
this
approach
was
to
use
the
policy
tool
of
hauler
licensing
in
which
to
foster
the
goals
that
the
city
had
laid
out.
H
Thirdly,
the
city
of
Miami:
they
also
have
an
open
competitive
system.
11
licensed
haulers,
what's
unique
about
this
particular
approach,
is
that
they
require
the
haulers
to
actually
sign,
what's
called
a
franchise
agreement,
but
it's
a
non-exclusive
franchise
agreement
and
what
that
means-
and
it's
outlined
in
more
detail
in
our
report-
is
that
haulers
that
are
collecting
commercial
waste
if
they
agree
basically
to
address
annual
plan
requirements,
provide
a
report
listing
recycling,
accounts
and
quantities,
and
they
provide
this
information
to
a
third
party
and
they
provide
organics
collection
to
select
businesses.
H
Then
they
are
essentially
able
to
provide
waste
collection.
It's
not
exclusive,
which
means
essentially
there's
no
geographic
district
set
up.
It's
for
all
haulers
that
are
willing
to
follow
those
guidelines,
because
it's
a
an
agreement
with
the
city.
It
provides
some
more
specifics
and
a
framework.
It's
funded
through,
what's
called
a
non-exclusive
franchise
fee
of
twenty
four
percent
of
gross
receipts,
and
they
also
support
this
program
without
reached
businesses.
So
again.
In
summary,
the
policy
tool
here
is
non-exclusive
franchises.
H
The
last
two
that
I'll
mention
before
talking
about
the
other
tasks.
First
is
the
city
of
Los
Angeles,
as
you
might
imagine,
in
California
they've
been
on
the
forefront
of
promoting
recycling
and
composting
for
a
number
of
years.
This
process
started
in
2006
on
what
the
city
of
Los
Angeles
they've
had
many
many
stakeholder
meetings,
a
much
analysis.
Their
system
was
an
open
competitive
market
similar
to
what
we
have
here
in
Minneapolis.
They
have
a
number
of
licensed
haulers.
They
went
through
a
comprehensive
procurement
process
after
they
actually
divided
the
city
up
into
collection
zones.
H
Again,
one
of
the
goals
in
many
of
these
communities
is
to
promote
a
reduction
in
the
amount
of
vehicle
miles
traveled
within
their
city,
as
well
as
to
address
collection
efficiency
to
have
uniform
rates
across
the
system.
So
the
city
of
Los
Angeles
had
these
goals.
They
went
through
this
multiple
year
process.
They
awarded
basically
seven
exclusive
franchises
for
11
zones,
there's
one
hauler
per
zone
and
there's
seven
contracts
that
have
been
awarded.
There
are
10-year
contracts
with
five-year
renewal
options,
so
therefore,
costs
associated
with
providing
these
services
can
be
amortized
by
the
haulers.
H
So
this
again
highlights
what
I
mentioned
as
exclusive
franchises.
How
is
it
being
funded
well,
similar
to
other
franchise
concepts?
There
is
a
franchise
fee,
that's
paid
by
each
of
the
haulers,
and
that
is
used
both
to
foster
the
administration
of
the
program
as
well
as
business.
Outreach
in
one
of
the
fundamental
goals
here
was
for
uniform
rates
across
the
city.
H
They
were
seeing
quite
a
variation
both
in
terms
of
services,
as
well
as
in
terms
of
rates
the
last
community
that
we
looked
at
again,
keeping
in
mind
while
providing
examples
of
the
different
best
practices
here
was
the
city
of
San
Jose.
So
the
city
of
San
Jose
decided
that
it
was
important
for
them
not
only
to
look
at
the
present
commercial
system,
but
also
how
materials
are
being
processed,
so
they
established
a
particular
unique
collection
program
which
is
called
wet
Drive,
which
is
highlighted
here
on
the
slide.
H
They
have
two
containers
that
are
provided
to
all
commercial
businesses,
one
for
recyclable
materials,
clean
wood
and
reusable
items
another
for
all
of
the
remaining
wastes.
The
relevance
of
that
is
that
that
has
helped
them
foster
additional
diversion.
At
the
same
time,
it's
created
a
number
of
challenges
and
Kelly
and
I
have
had
a
number
of
conversations
about
the
challenges
with
this
in
terms
of
contamination.
H
H
So
those
were
the
communities
that
the
steering
team
selected
to
evaluate
both
again
to
highlight
some
of
the
different
policy
tools,
as
well
as
to
get
a
sense
of
what
options
may
be
appropriate
here
in
Minneapolis.
The
next
step
in
the
study
was
to
identify
evaluation
criteria
and,
as
the
the
slide
outlines,
this
comes
back
to
some
of
the
examples
of
objectives
that
the
other
cities
looked
at
and
I'll
quickly
run
through
these.
Of
course,
legal
feasibility.
H
If
you
follow
what's
taking
place
here
in
the
Twin
City
metropolitan
area,
there's
some
other
communities
that
have
gone
through
different
types
of
organized
collection,
programs
or
looking
at
ways
in
which
to
foster
more
diversion.
So
it's
critical
to
look
at
the
legal
feasibility,
so
we
consulted
with
the
county
attorney's
office
and
there's
some
specific
narrative
in
the
plan
that
talks
about
that
projected
growth
and
diversion.
Obviously
more
recycling
and
composting
I
mentioned
the
gap
as
it
relates
to
information,
specifically
understanding,
what's
being
collected,
what's
being
diverted
on
the
commercial
side.
H
I'll
just
emphasize?
This
is
the
this
is
what
we
would
consider
an
initial
study.
So
we
apply
these
criteria
to
some
of
the
strategies
on
the
next
slide,
the
strategies
themselves,
some
of
them
were
highlighted
in
the
best
practices.
The
steering
team
had
a
number
of
discussions
on
identifying
these
to
look
at
further
and
for
your
understanding.
When
you
read
the
report,
you'll
see
a
number
of
tables,
the
tables
lists
the
strategies.
The
strategies
can
be
combined
to
identify
options
and
the
relevance
of
that
is
that
we've
applied
those
criteria
to
some
of
those
options.
H
The
strategies
that
we've
considered.
We
talked
about
outreach
and
assistance.
Again,
that's
fundamental
to
any
sort
of
program:
enhanced
enforcement
of
city
ordinances,
obviously,
whether
you're
talking
about
waste
management
or
other
issues.
If
you
have
ordinances
that
are
presently
in
the
municipal
code,
what
does
that
mean
for
the
program?
How
can
those
be
used?
Expand,
hauler
licensing
and
establishment
minimum
service
standards?
H
My
example
of
Portland
they
use
their
licensing
program
to
establish
a
more
defined
framework,
mandatory
generator
recycling
plans
coupled
with
material
disposal
bans
again
I
should
have
started
the
presentation
by
saying
I
apologize
for
the
for
the
the
waste
language
as
we
like
to
say.
So
what
that
specifically
means
is
having
the
generators
put
together
a
plan
on
how
they're
going
to
recycle
and
compost.
That
was
the
Austin
example
transition
to
a
non-exclusive
franchise
within
the
city.
I
talked
about
Miami
Miami
had
its
basically
its
haulers
sign
a
contract.
H
They
were
awarded
a
basically
a
franchise,
but
it
was
a
non-exclusive
franchise,
so
haulers
could
serve
a
number
of
customers
within
the
city
establishing
an
organized
commercial
collection
within
the
city.
Minnesota
state
law
has
what's
called
the
organized
collection
statute.
Many
of
the
communities
that
have
undertaken
organized
collection
have
looked
at
this
particular
statute
in
great
detail.
There's
a
number
of
ways
to
define
organized
commercial
collection.
We've
left
this.
H
In
terms
of
those
terms,
you
can
look
at
la
in
San
Jose
as
a
form
of
organized
commercial
collection,
but
it's
important
to
understand
that
that
could
be
exclusive
franchises,
but
there's
some
very
prescriptive
requirements
in
the
state
law
associated
with
organizing
commercial
collection
and
then,
lastly,
of
course,
municipal
ization
of
the
commercial
collection
there's
a
handful
of
communities
around
the
country
that
actually
collect
commercial
waste
similar
to
collecting
residential
waste.
Here
we
took
those
strategies
we
combined
them
into
a
number
of
options.
Those
options
again
are
provided
in
the
report.
H
We
applied
the
evaluation
criteria
to
get
some
sense
of
how
they
would
measure
up
as
it
compares
to
those
objectives
and
I
talked
about
those
objectives.
We
talked
about.
Reducing
vehicle
miles
traveled,
we
talked
about
waste
diversion
we've
talked
about
trying
to
have
some
more
transparency
as
it
relates
to
rates
as
it
relates
to
what's
being
collected
so
based
on
the
analysis
that
was
done
to
date.
The
next
steps
are
to
establish
an
internal
working
group
to
evaluate
the
preferred
options.
I
talked
about
a
number
of
strategies.
H
Hopefully
it
wasn't
a
dizzying
number,
but
again
we
combine
those
into
some
options
to
consider
evaluate
some
preferred
options
in
more
detail.
Look
at
the
benefits
and
drawbacks
as
Dave
outlined
within
the
framework
of
the
city,
zero
waste
goals,
which
recycling
and
composting
of
80
percent
by
2030
is
what
the
council
basically
moved
forward
in
2015
to
continue
work
with
all
the
stakeholders
on
March
23rd.
We
had
two
stakeholder
meetings.
We
had
representatives
from
the
multifamily
Housing
Association
representatives
from
the
hauler
community
and
representatives
from
a
number
of
different
business
types.
H
There's
a
summary
of
the
feedback
provided
I
presented
the
report
with
the
support
from
the
staff
and
the
summary
is
in
the
appendix
in
the
report.
The
last
step
that
is
being
identified
is
to
move
forward
with
the
completion
of
the
city's
zero
waste
plan
again
in
the
context
of
the
80%
goal.
This
particular
study
talks
about
some
of
those
policy
tools
that
could
be
used
in
context
with
some
others
and
in
cooperation
with
others
to
move
the
city
forward.
With
that
we'll
stop
and
try
to
answer
any
questions
and
again.
Thank
you.
Any.
I
I
Option
you
know
it's
a
license:
the
haulers
put
more
requirements
on
the
license
versus
going
to
the
franchise
because
it
sounded
like
some
of
the
cities.
I
think
it
was
Austin
the
ones
it's
going
with
the
license,
we're
able
to
get
a
pretty
good
performance,
and
so
what's
the
distinction
between
when
they
actually
go
to
a
franchise
and
are
there
benefits?
Can
we
require
more
when
the
franchise
or
is
there
a
way
we
can
get
everything
we
maybe
want
after
the
licensing?
I
G
G
The
whole
idea
is
to
just
find
out
what
what
the
whole
scenario
is
with
the
commercial,
multifamily
and
industrial
areas,
information
gathering
so
I
think
any
of
these
strategies
and
options,
potentially
the
more
more
impactful
they
can
be
in
going
from
targeted
education
to
the
far
end
of
franchising.
As
you
expand
that
you
get
into
more
and
more
work,
more
and
more
data,
that's
obtained
and
more.
I
More
impaired,
okay,
so
I
guess
I'm,
writing
guessing,
there's
some
flexibility,
and
also
even
in
the
franchise
fee,
versus
the
cost
of
your
license
in
terms
of
recovering
some
of
the
costs
I'm
also
curious
about.
If
there
was
a
city
you
looked
at,
it
was
fully
municipal
eyes,
I
mean
in
your
options,
A
through
G,
the
last
one
that
you
land
on
and
I
have
to
say.
When
you
look
at
that
one,
you
look
at
the
projected
growth
and
diversion
its
high.
You
look
at
hauler
reporting
rate
its
high.
I
The
transportation
benefits
in
terms
of
greenhouse
gases
is
high.
That's
a
very
appealing
one.
In
fact,
the
last
two
F
and
G
are
really
the
only
ones
that
scored
high
on
those
three
criteria
that
were
so
important
to
me.
But
is
there
a
city,
that's
municipal
eyes,
out
there
that
you
looked
at
as
well
to
see
how
it's
working
so.
H
I
H
There's
a
number
of
different
approaches
under
organized
collection
and
in
the
legal
feasibility
portion
of
the
report
talks
about
when
the
organized
collection
statute
would
apply.
You
can
have
everything
from
like
we
laid
out
in
terms
of
Los
Angeles,
where
you
would
divide
divide
the
area
up
into
zones
and
have
one
particular
entity
serve
that
there's
actually
some
communities
that
are
divided
the
area,
the
commercial
area
up
into
zones
and
then
have
had
a
limited
number
of
haulers
to
provide
some
competition
within
each
of
those
zones
as
another
option.
H
I
They're,
good
and
I
was
also
curious
about
you
have
any
more
details.
You
can
share
with
us
about
Los
Angeles's
experience,
making
the
transition
I'm,
assuming
they
had
no
franchises
for
a
while.
It
was
kind
of
a
free-for-all
like
we
have
in
the
commercial
side
in
Minneapolis
now.
Was
that
a
difficult
transition
for
them
to
get?
Yes,.
H
It
took
them,
as
I
might
have
mentioned,
or
I
might
have
mentioned
it
quickly.
They
started
in
2006
and
July.
1St
I
believe
is
they're
actually
going
through
the
implementation
process,
so
they
had
a
number
of
stakeholder
meetings.
But
the
answer
question
directly:
it
was
an
open,
competitive
system
with
an
of
licensed
haulers
on
the
residential
side.
They
actually
had
franchises,
but
on
the
on
the
commercial
side,
it
was
an
open
system,
so
they
went
through
a
number
of
stakeholder
meetings.
H
They
went
through
a
comprehensive
public
procurement
process
order
by
they
laid
out
what
those
zones
were
going
to
be,
and
then
they
evaluated
it
on
a
competitive
basis
and
as
I
mentioned
in
the
presentation,
they
selected
a
number
of
haulers
to
serve
11
zones.
They
also
had
some
zones
that
were
defined
councilmember
Gordon
to
basically
be
more
compatible
with
the
smaller.
H
I
Like
they
took
the
slow
and
steady
approach
to
get
there,
so
I
appreciate
that
I
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you
put
into
this
report.
Also
I
was
able
to
attend
one
of
the
stakeholder
meetings
and
been
involved
in
it
and
I
think
they're
very
interesting.
It's
been
very
eye-opening,
I
think
for
the
city
and
for
everybody
to
say.
Let's
take
a
look
at
this,
it's
pretty
mind-boggling
to
look
at
all
the
unknowns
that
have
been
out
there
for
so
long.
We
have
no
idea
how
much
waste
we're
generating
from
these
sources.
I
We
have
no
idea
where
it's
going,
and
so,
if
we
actually
talk
about
getting
to
zero
waste
and
we're
going
to
need
to
do
something
so
that
we
can
get
a
better
understanding
of
this
and
also
help
with
more
diversion
and
report
points
in
the
direction
of
where
we
can
get
more
diversion
and
so
I
look
forward
to
learning
more
I
have
a
staff
direction,
but
I
think
a
way
to
there's
more
questions.
Mr.
chair,
Thank,
You
member.
F
L
L
So
I
will
be
interested
with
the
next
step.
It
seems
like
a
lot
of
the.
The
challenges
are
really
a.
We
don't
have
a
lot
of
data.
That
would
be
helpful,
so
that
was
a
that
was
a
really
interesting
part
of
the
report.
Actually,
is
that
we
kind
of
have
a
dearth
of
data
and
it
would
be
better
to
kind
of
understand
the
landscape.
Better
I,
don't
know
how
you
solve
that
in.
L
If,
for
maybe
that's
a
question
for
your
workgroup
that
you
are
proposing
to
set
up
whether
it
is
better
to
kind
of
go
slower
to
make
sure
you
have
a
better
data
set
or
just
pick
one
of
the
strategies
to
move
forward
on,
because
anyway,
you
know
the
more
time
you
anyway,
there's
there's
a
you're
losing
the
more
time
you
take.
Although
the
more
data
you
have
I,
suppose
the
better
you
can
evaluate
the
options.
L
A
lot
of
the
challenges
seem
to
me
to
be
more,
though,
with
kind
of
the
legal
issues,
as
well
as
the
interplay
with
what
we
think
might
be
some
state
law
or
concerns
with
the
state
legislature
and
and
then
how
tough
it
is
to
to
organize.
So
maybe
maybe
you
want
to
weigh
in
on
that,
but
I
mean
that's
what
it
seemed
to
me.
You
kind
of
have
these
options
you're
able
to
show
this
is
the
highest
impact.
L
It
would
be
a
struggle
for
me
to
think
we
could
really
achieve
municipal
ization,
just
kind
of
knowing
the
landscape
at
the
state
and
some
of
the
challenges
that
have
appeared
already
just
to
organize
collection
by
guide
partisan
groups
of
legislators.
So
maybe
you
can
tell
me
a
little
your
thoughts
on
what
the
team
will
spend
most
of
its
time
on.
Is
it
those
legal
and
organizing
challenges,
or
is
it
more
on
the
data
end,
which
often
we
don't
have
a
great
picture
of.
G
Mr.
chair
committee,
members
Glidden,
yes,
I,
would
think
that
initially
the
the
working
group
would
look
for
a
mechanism
to
get
more
data
more
reporting
and
they
could
come
in
a
number
of
ways
of
whether
it's
in,
like
you
know,
licensing
requirements.
That
would
require
annual
reporting.
As
just
one
of
one
of
the
examples,
and
as.
H
G
G
L
I
mean
just
kind
of
again
looking
at
the
the
available
impact,
without
knowing
more
I
kind
of
really
hope
that
we
end
up
at
least
on
the
transition
to
a
non-exclusive
franchise
within
the
city
or
established
organized
commercial
collection.
I
know
those
are
both
pretty
big
bites
to
take
off,
but
just
to
kind
of
put
that
out
there,
then
my
last
question
I
know:
council,
member
Gordon
has
this
staff
direction
about
incorporating
the
study
into
the
zero
waste
plan
and
I
was
trying
to
remember?
L
Has
there
ever
been
any
presentation
to
a
council
committee
about
the
zero
waste
plan
and
kind
of
what
is
happening
with
that?
I
feel
like
it's
an
important
framework,
but
we
haven't
really
had
a
public
interaction
with
it,
at
least
to
my
memory,
and
that
would
actually
present
I
don't
know
the
status
of
it,
but
it
seems
like
it
is
important
framework
to
place
major
major
efforts
like
this
within,
so
we
feel
like
the
different
strategies
we
invest
in
at
the
city
to
achieve
zero
waste,
which
right
now
is
just
kind
of
words.
L
G
Mr.
chair
committee,
member
glyn,
yes,
we
we
have
a
idea
of
moving
towards
a
zero-waste
plan
and
there's
other
funds
that
are
out
there
for
us
to
go
ahead
and
do
some
study
there.
Some
changes
within
the
mayor's
office,
so
we've
got
ultimately
choose
a
new
sustainability
policy.
Aid
within
the
mayor's
office
will
be
working
on
zero
waste
and
we
plan
on
meeting
very
soon
to
of
reconvene
and
discussion
to
have
a
draft
plan.
Zero
waste
plan
right.
B
Customer
end
the
producers
of
waste
and
helped
me
understand
how
that
fits
into
the
strategies
around
sort
of
increasing
diversion
so
I've
a
couple
of
examples
of
how
I've
thought
about
this.
You
know
number
one
I
have
a
huge
number
of
apartment
buildings
or
that
don't
currently
have
city
collection.
B
So
if
we
switch
to
a
different
strategy
on
the
collar
and
how
would
that
transition
happen
on
the
property
owner
and
apartment
manager,
side
is
one
question
and
then
another
question
I
had
was
as
we're:
designing
and
approving
as
master
dining
as
developers
and
project
teams
are
coming
through
with
new
buildings
through
our
approval
process.
I
also
often
wonder
if
we
are,
if
our
standards
are
accommodating
current
desires
and
maybe
future
regulations
around
requiring
recycling
and
composting.
G
Mr.
chair
committee,
member
Bendrick,
yes
I,
guess
I
see
your
question:
is
it
refold
the
idea
of
there's
ordinances
in
play
right
now
with
multifamily
buildings
that
they
require
recycling
to
be
offered
and
at
Kelly
Kitsch
is
the
recycle
coordinator
in
case
I
need
some
backup
here,
so
we
do
have
some
enforcement
over
there.
So
when,
when
we're
closed
by
customers
that
may
live
in
the
altai
families
about
them
not
having
accessibility
to
recycling,
we
are
able
to
then
engage
that
multifamily
unit,
and
so
there
are
mechanisms
right
now.
G
As
far
as
ordinance,
your
your
second
took
on
I
guess
with
it
that
only
addresses
recycling
right
now
there
is
a
potential
in
the
future
to
address
other
items
such
as
organics
that
kind
of
file
kind
of
followed
suit
with
us
getting
into
the
one
sort
recycling
now
that
we're
in
Dorothy
and
x8.
That
could
very
well
change
in
the
future
too.
So,
yes,
the
ordinances
could
be
modified,
new
ordinances
put
into
place
and
helping
with
the
second
part
of
your
question.
Other.
G
Them
to
better
really,
we
are
involved
with
it
right
now.
I,
don't
tell
you
on
some
Spiegel
for
those,
but
with
new
structures
that
the
challenge
is.
Is
that
allow
the
the
older
and
retrofitted
buildings
there's
continued
space
constraints
within
the
city
and
the
idea
that
the
area
that's
set
aside
for
waste
diversion
is
limited
and
as
far
as
some
of
the
high
high-rise
units,
the
idea
of
getting
that
material
from
an
upper
floor
to
down
at
pointa
collection
can
be
very
difficult.
J
Thank
You
mr.
chair
committee,
members
in
regards
to
new
buildings.
There
was
I
believe
this
past
year,
a
direction
for
the
engineers
to
actually
interpret
State,
Building
Code
slightly
different,
so
right
now,
new
buildings
are
required
to
have
at
least
that
chute
for
recycling,
as
you
know
or
may
not
know,
Hennepin
County
currently
offers
a
lot
of
technical
assistance
to
multi
units
to
improve
or
add
recycling.
Organics
programs,
as
you
go
through
the
different
strategies
and
options
outlined
in
the
study.
J
Part
of
what
the
work
group
would
do
we
envision
is
to
you
know
prioritize,
which
ones
we
think
are
going
to
get
us
the
most
diversion
the
best
data
and,
as
Dave
had
mentioned,
we
currently
do
enforce
multi-unit
recycling,
but
it's
on
a
complaint
basis.
Only
so
we
don't
have
the
ability
to
go
out
there
and
make
sure
there
is
recycling
at
all
the
current
properties.
So
things
like
the
mandatory
recycling
plans
would
give
us.
You
know
the
ability
to
have
another
way
to
identify
who
is
or
who
is
not
recycling
who
needs
help.
J
So
it's
kind
of
it's
a
lot
to
think
through
and
that's
part
of
why
the
working
group
would
would
go
through
that
and
then,
in
terms
of
your
first
question,
going
back
to
what
requirements
would
there
be
of
the
property
owners?
I
mean
there's
there
will
be
with
any
change
implementation,
you'll
roll
out
to
one
sort.
There
was
you
know
a
timeline
schedule
identified
of
when
we
were
pulling
or
delivering
the
cards
to
your
area.
There
would
have
to
be
something
set
up
along
those
lines
to,
for
whatever
method
was
chosen
to
move
forward
with.
F
K
Over
yeah
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
you
know,
my
first
question
is
with
regards
to
I
believe
there
was
a
stakeholder
survey
or
something
that
nature
and
I
remember.
The
response
rates
when
we
were
getting
briefed
was
not
very
good
and
did
it
improve.
You
know
over
that
short
time
period
or
if
the
you
know,
response
rates,
give
us
good
data
so.
H
Mr.
chair
councilmember
yang
what
we
initiated
at
the
beginning
of
the
project
was
a
survey
of
random
businesses
within
Minneapolis.
I
should
say
it
was
structured.
Will
we
survey
businesses
from
different
categories
within
Minneapolis
to
try
to
get
a
sense
of
some
of
their
challenges
and
some
of
their
perspectives
as
it
relates
to
both
solid
waste
management
recycling
and
if
they
are
doing
some
composting,
the
report
talks
about
the
efforts
that
we
took.
It
had
a
very
limited
response
rate.
H
H
Probably
a
combination
of
things
making
sure
that
the
information
got
to
the
right
individual
who
could
answer
the
questions
like
any
survey,
also
just
the
right
timing,
councilmember
yang
in
terms
of
that
information
going
out,
I
think
in
the
context
of
many
things.
Last
year
it
was
pretty
challenging
relative
to
the
overall
political
climate
and
information
going
out
again.
This
is
Bob
speaking,
but
at
the
same
time,
the
surveys
that
have
been
affected.
H
We
just
conducted
one
for
another
community
who's
going
through
this
similar
process
and
we
actually
approached
it
by
using
Believe,
It
or
Not
a
telephone
survey
or
there's
databases.
Now
that
allow
you
to
randomly
survey
folks
via
their
cell
phones,
we've
seen
that
to
be
another
way
in
which
to
gather
information,
so
long-winded
answer
to
your
question
again.
I
think
at
this
point
in
time
we
weren't
asking
for
feedback
on
a
particular
option.
We
were
asking
for
some
feedback
similar
to
what
Kelly's,
providing
in
terms
of
some
of
the
challenges
that
businesses
have.
Okay,.
K
And
you
know,
with
with
regard
to
these
identified
alternative
strategies
and
options,
you
know,
wouldn't
what
I
see
is
that
in
in
some
ways
me
it's,
you
know,
structure
or
its
organization
or
its
penalties,
but
I'm
wondering.
Are
we
thinking
about
incentives?
You
know
and
I
mean
just
to
throw
out
a
crazy
guy.
Do
you
have
you
know
that
we
used
to
have
I
mean
you
know,
people
use
UBB
or
some
people
now,
even
you
know,
within
my
board,
I
mean
they
talk
about
this
fantasy
land.
K
K
G
Mr.
chair
committee,
member
game,
we
do
have
incentives
out
there
right
now,
which
I
guess
are
are
maybe
small,
I
guess
an
example
of
it
would
be
in
our
residential
program.
There's
maybe
not
ask
a
applicable
is
but
I'll
get
into
one
of
those
which
is
the
size
of
your
solid
waste
Kirk.
So
you
pay
two
dollars
for
the
small
cards,
five
dollars
for
the
large
cards,
so
there
is
a
small
incentive
there
to
lessen
the
amount
of
waste
that
you're
putting
out
from
the
commercial
multifamily
industrial
stamp.
I.
Think
the
incentive
out
there
is.
K
It
just
was
much
more
convenient
to
throw
in
the
trash
didn't
just
at
recycle,
and
it
was
kind
of
like
a
mental
thing
that
really
just
separated
a
person
recycles
from
just
a
person
who
doesn't
in
terms
of
just
you
know,
thinking
about
it,
not
not
people's
beliefs
about
recycling.
That's
more
such
as
you
know,
it
was
convenient,
and
so
just
thinking
like
how
do
we
change
those
things
and
make
it
a
lot
easier
for
people
that
you
know
know
that
recycling
is
good
or
composting
is
good
for
them.
Yeah.
G
I
mean
I
agree
with
you
that,
from
our
standpoint,
like
a
residential
program,
I
think
education
is
is
definitely
the
key
to
get
individuals
and
businesses
to
know
what
what
they
can
do
to
lessen
their
financial
impact
on
on
how
they
look
at
their
waste
I
think
there
would
be
delved
into
it.
The
internal
work
working
group
and
I
do
fully
believe
in
education
before
penalties.
I
Thank
you
very
much.
Councilmember
glutens
questions
were
reminding
me
of
some
past
events
and
I.
We
actually
passed
a
resolution
where
the
council
called
out
zero
waste
plan
in
July
of
2015.
In
that
resolution
we
called
in
a
report
back
in
the
spring
of
2016
with
the
zero
waste
plan.
So
you
can
imagine
that
we're
a
little
behind
schedule,
and
maybe
you
can't
imagine-
but
this
is
me
being
really
frustrated
about
it.
I,
don't
know
why
it's
taken
I,
wish
it
hadn't
taken
this
long.
I
guess
I
can
understand
some
of
the
reasons.
I
I
think
this
study
has
been
a
key
piece.
It
would
to
get
done
to
move
forward
on
that.
So
I
really
appreciate
that,
but
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
the
council
has
weighed
in
on
it.
We
have
kind
of
brought
that
and
the
resolution
was
really
when
we
were
studying
our
goals
in
target
done:
councilman
bright
and
I
authored
it,
and
but
but
that's
when
we
said
we
will
now
participate
in
the
zero
waste
plan
that
we
acknowledged
was
being
led
by
the
mayor's
office.
I
So
I'm
excited
to
pick
that
up
and
move
forward
and
shake
off
whatever
you
know.
Frustration
might
be
here
because
it's
taken
us
a
while
to
get
to
this
point
what
ideally
I
guess
we
would
have.
We
would
have
had
more
things
in
place
now
as
we're
preparing
for
the
budget
for
2018.
So
we
could
have
been
thinking
about
what
are
we
going
to
need
so
that
we
can
actually
be
implementing
our
zero
waste
plan,
but
I
think
instead?
What
we're
now
is
that
we
have
a
commitment.
I
We
have
new
new
staff
in
the
mayor's
office.
We
have
this
information
so
and
I
believe
we
even
have
a
little
money
in
the
budget
to
get
some
help.
Writing
our
zero
waste
plan
over
the
next
few
months,
not
that
it's
going
to
be
done
in
September
I'm,
not
necessarily
putting
that
out
there,
but
there
is
a
staff
direction
before
you
that
is
following
up
on
this
report.
We're
now
read
it
to
you
now,
so
we
can
and
then
I'll
move
it.
I
And
so
that's
the
motion
and
the
next
steps
could
be
make
sure
they're
incorporated
into
the
final
draft
of
the
zero
waste
plan
or
something
which
I
think
we're
all
fully
expecting
and
aiming
to
get
done.
This
year
nod
your
heads.
If
think,
we
can
pull
it
off,
which
would
be
fantastic,
so
and
I
think
there's
other
things
we
can
do
along
the
way
and
of
course
we
have
been
doing
other
things
to
divert
waste
to
get
to
zero
waste.
I
Even
though
we
don't
have
our
comprehensive
plan
and
I
want
to
admit
that
and
acknowledge
that
we
bump
work
on
getting
rid
of
some
material
that
can't
be
recycled
and
disposed
of.
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
on
our
compost
program
and
getting
them
moving
forward,
and
there
may
even
be
some
other
ordinances.
I
know
that
I've
been
considering
looking
at
composting
as
a
requirement
for
apartment
buildings.
We
have
lots
of
renters
that
are
reaching
out
to
us
and
saying
why
can't
I
compost
in
my
building
services
are
provided
elsewhere.
I
So
there's
other
things
that
we
can
do,
but
I
thought
that
it
might
be
nice
to
have
it
to
touch
back
again
on
September,
12th
and
actually
I.
Think
mr.
Herbert
Holtz
and
Public
Works
for
working
with
me
on
the
staff
direction.
So
I'll
move
that
put
that
out
there
and
thanks
for
your
time,
yeah.
F
How
does
that
include
that
look
of
receiving
files
hesitated
with
that
if
it's
very
consistent
with
the
objectives,
as
laid
out
a
very
end
of
the
presentation
and
I
think
something
that's
very
key
was
touched
on.
You
know
in
terms
of
how
the
work
gets
done
with
City
Council
I
mean
this
is
going
to
be
a
key,
not
be
central
feature
to
zero
waste.
F
I
think
the
goals
are
already
there.
They're
broad
they're,
general
they're,
ambitious,
but
the
detail
from
A
to
B
is
the
key
task
before
us
and
I.
Think
data
is
the
lifeblood
of
that
exercise.
I
think
the
data
is
not
just
an
inherently
valuable
thing.
I
think
that
this
need
for
data
that
we've
outlined
here
in
this
report
is
an
invitation.
I
C
Chair
members
of
the
committee
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
extremely
high
level
of
interest
in
this
work.
The
team
has
worked
very
hard
on
this
commercial
waste
study.
A
couple
takeaways
that
we
are
committing
to
you
is
to
coordinate
with
the
mayor's
office
effort
on
zero
waste
to
understand
their
timeline
and
how
our
work
fits
into
it.
I
Awesomer
Gloria
I
forgot
one
comment
that
I
was
going
to
make,
even
though
we're
calling
this
an
internal
workgroup.
Of
course,
we
understand
that
internal
work
group
will
have
to
keep
maintaining
communications
and
connections
to
our
external
stakeholders
so
that
they
can
keep
informing
the
process
that
we
do
thanks.
K
G
C
Chair
members
of
the
committee,
as
you
know,
safety
is
one
of
our
primary
goals
for
our
residents
and
visitors
to
the
city
and
pedestrian
safety
in
particular,
I'm
personally,
very
proud
of
the
work
of
both
the
transportation
planning,
a
programming
division
and
traffic
and
parking
services
working
together
to
make
an
important
change
in
how
we
handle
pedestrian
crosswalks
so
presenting
today
is
Matthew
dirt.
All
transportation,
planning,
programming
and
state
moseying
with
traffic
and
parking
services.
C
M
Morning,
good
morning,
mr.
chair
committee,
members
again,
my
name
is
Matthew
doodle
pedestrian
coordinator
in
the
transportation
planning
and
programming
division,
Steve,
Mostyn
and
I
are
going
to
provide
an
overview
of
a
change
in
our
crosswalk
marking
framework
very
quickly.
The
reason
that
we
mark
crosswalks
is
to
provide
a
more
visible,
more
comfortable
crossing
for
people,
and
this
change
that
we're
going
to
discuss
today
is
really
about
aligning
with
best
practices.
M
M
The
bottom
is
the
continental
or
zebra
cross,
walking
crosswalk
markings
which
are
much
more
visible,
and
so
the
pedestrian
master
plan
has
a
lot
of
language
in
there
about
a
goal
to
increase
the
visibility
of
crosswalk
markings
and
then
I
also
want
to
highlight
makto,
which
is
the
National
Association
of
city
transportation
officials
in
their
urban
streets,
design
guide.
They
discuss
that
continental
or
zebra
markings
are
preferable
to
other
forms
of
crossings.
M
The
last
point
that
I'll
make
before
turning
over
to
Steve
is
that
there
is
quite
a
bit
of
interest
and
support
in
improving
crosswalk
markings
in
Minneapolis.
We
brought
this
to
the
pedestrian
Advisory
Committee
and
they
were
very
supportive
of
this
change,
as
well
as
other
ways
to
improve
Street
crossings
in
the
apples.
So
with
that,
we'll
turn
it
over
to
Steve
Mills.
N
Good
morning,
Steve
nosing
traffic
operations,
engineer
for
Public
Works,
so
what's
happening
in
the
field
what's
happening
on
the
street.
So
what
we
are
doing
is
on
the
left
side,
you'll
see
a
picture
of
the
old
parallel
line,
crosswalk,
which
will
be
discontinued
no
longer
a
city
standard,
and
what
you
see
on
the
right
is
the
new.
N
That
will
become
the
city
standard
which
we're
calling
the
Minneapolis
Deaver
crosswalk.
So
we
actually
started
this
in
2016
with
roadway
reconstruction
on
overlay
and
sealcoat
projects,
on
conjunction
with
those
projects
we
started
putting
in
the
new
standard
and
we
are
going
to
expand
that
this
year
to
include
nearly
all
the
crosswalks
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis
will
get
this
new
standard.
N
I
say
nearly
all,
because
there
are
portions
of
the
Parkway,
which
will
be
evaluated
through
an
audit
this
year
and
we'll
take
results
of
that
audit
and
implement
on
zebra
crosswalks
on
the
Parkway
for
next
year.
So,
overall,
there
are
about
3,800
crosswalks
in
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
N
Also,
a
big
reason
for
this
change
is
to
make
it
feasible
as
the
equipment.
So
what
we
wanted
to
do
is
on
3300
of
the
3,800
crosswalks
in
the
city
are
put
in
using
paint
that
is
not
a
durable
marking.
Paint
has
to
be
redone
every
year
and
with
the
machines
that
we
had
or
the
equipment
had
to
do,
the
parallel
line.
Crosswalks
it
just
wasn't
feasible
to
do
those
crosswalks
in
the
new
standard.
N
So
how
are
we
going
to
get
this
done?
Well,
we
have
three
programs
that
we
want
to
implement
this
year
to
put
in
the
Minneapolis
zebra
crosswalks
at
the
nearly
3800
on
locations
in
the
city
and
so
on.
The
first
program
would
be
to
do
what
we
did
last
year
and
that's
installed
with
the
reconstruction
Illinois,
where
they
have
sealed
projects.
So,
in
conjunction
with
those
projects
we'll
be
putting
in
marked
crosswalks
and
the
key
above
those
Crocs,
those
projects
is,
we
won't
be
putting
them
in
in
paint
we'll
be
putting
them
in
endurable
markings.
N
So
an
independent
crosswalk
program,
so
a
portion
of
the
crosswalks
that
won't
be
done
as
part
of
the
five-year
program
roadway
program
schedule,
we're
going
to
take
a
portion
of
those
and
in-store
install
the
little
crosswalks
at
those
locations.
So
that's
not
all
the
crosswalks,
it's
a
certain
portion
of
them
outside
of
that
five-year
plan
and
again
we'll
be
using
durable
crosswalks
to
put
those
in
as
well.
So
you
can
look
at
the
pictures.
We
have
a
product
called
MMA
arm
that
we're
very
happy
with
so
far
that
we'll
be
using
in
the
bottom
right.
N
You
see,
city
crews,
putting
in
thermoplastic
I
think
that's
a
30-person
gerard,
that's
actually
melted
into
the
pavement,
so
I'll
crosswalks
that
aren't
part
of
the
roadway
reconstruction
program
or
the
independent
program
will
be
painted.
So
again,
that's
just
a
touch
over
3,000
crosswalks,
we'll
be
putting
in
a
new
standard
with
paint.
And
so,
if
you
look
at
the
pictures,
the
one
on
the
left
is
shows
a
city
crew
outlining
the
crosswalk
and
then
I
can
get
them
right.
N
You
can
see
how
the
crosswalks
put
in
now.
It's
just
a
simple
stripe,
but
a
lot
of
thought
went
into
that
simple
stripe,
and
so
again,
at
about
thirty
eight
or
a
little
over
three
thousand
crosswalks
in
the
city.
Paint
will
be
the
method,
and
that
would
be
something
that
we
have
to
come
back
and
do
every
year.
N
So
just
a
couple
photographs
on
the
before
and
after
this
is
third
out
and
install
that
eleven
speak.
You
can
see
the
different
look
between
the
parallel
lines
and
the
zebra
crosswalks.
You
know
my
observations
have
been
the
de
teba
crosswalks,
better
define
the
intersections,
and
so
there's
kind
of
a
summary
of
the
before
after,
but
also
on.
N
Moving
forward
on,
we
started
in
2016
with
roadway
projects
in
2017
were
expanded
to
generally
call
all
crosswalks
in
the
city,
with
the
exception
of
some
the
parkway
and
as
we
move
forward,
we're
going
to
look
at
the
durability
of
crosswalks,
the
visibility,
the
method
of
installation,
the
cost,
so
that
we
can
fine
tune
our
program
over
on
the
next
few
years.
So
with
that
questions,
any.
L
What
are
some
of
the
answers
to
these
so
I
get
a
lot
of
requests
for
crosswalks,
I'm
sure
that
you
see
here
that
from
all
over
the
city
and
having
a
better
understanding
or
a
place
on
the
website
to
go
to
where
public
works
establishes.
You
know
what
are
its
criteria
for
placing
crosswalks.
Is
it
a
safety
criteria?
Is
that
a
financial
criteria?
Is
it?
You
know,
and
then
people
ask
all
these
follow-up
questions
such
as?
Could
we
pay
for
it
ourselves
and
things
like
that?
L
L
How
it
responds
to
those
I
just
kind
of
put
that
out
there
because
I
know
you
get
those
requests
a
lot
and
they
come
to
me
and
then
I
pass
them
on
to
staff,
and
so
thinking
about
how
we
communicate
either
kind
of
where
we're
at
today,
but
also
we're
continuing
to
evaluate
this
I
mean
I.
Just
don't
know
what
all
is
kind
of
going
in
the
second
thing
that
I
often
get
requests
about
crosswalks,
it's
kind
of
similar
to
the
question
about.
L
Could
we
pay
for
it
ourselves
or
do
it
ourselves?
Just
personally
I
have
a
lot
of
requests
from
neighbors
about.
Could
we
create
an
artistic
or
unique
looking
crosswalk,
so
we
do
have
a
program
in
the
city
that
is
paint
the
intersection.
I,
don't
know
all
the
standards
for
that
I
know.
Public
Works
does
some
evaluation
of
what
other
appropriate
locations
for
that
and
things
others
say.
I
know:
we've
had
this
program
for
some
time,
but
I
don't
know
that
anything
has
ever
been
approved.
L
It
may
be
for
an
artistically
designed
crosswalk,
which
I
know
there
are
standards
that
needs
that
need
to
be
met
for
the
crosswalk
to
be
safe
and
appropriate,
and
all
those
kind
of
things,
but
anyway,
I,
don't
know
you're
getting
a
lot
of
questions.
Somehow
I
seem
to
get
a
fair
number
of
those
questions,
but
so
just
kind
of
put
that
out
there
another
sort
of
community
I
get
it.
L
N
We
get
over
four
and
a
crosswalk
requests
a
year
to
our
division
through
a
lot
of
different
means,
three
one
ones
from
from
council
offices
and
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
with
regard
to
a
criteria,
as
well
as
information
to
put
out
there
for
the
public
to
consume,
to
better
understand,
crosswalks,
and
so
that's
all
part
of
a
discussion
that
we
hope
to
bring
out
conclude
and
bring
out
at
a
later
time.
So,
but
we
completely
understand
what
you
what
you
had
stated.
F
B
You
mr.
chair
I'm
really
excited
about
this,
so
thank
you
so
much
for
doing
this
and
I
think
maybe
echoing
councilmember
Clinton's
comment.
The
number
one
question
or
comment
or
email
or
call
to
my
office
is
about
traffic
safety
in
neighborhoods
by
a
lot,
and
we
often
are
communicating
with
staff
about
these
sort
of
one-off
intersections
but
they're
common
problems.
So
I
think
this
is
such
a
great
approach
to
take
this
more
citywide
system
approach
to
thinking
about
ways
that
we
can,
as
a
citywide
system,
improve
pedestrian
safety
and
traffic
safety.
B
Some
of
the
other
things
we
hear
a
lot
about
our
sight
distances
at
corners
in
the
sort
of
heavily
parked
up
neighborhoods.
So
often
cars
are
parking
right
up
to
the
curb,
and
so
when
you're,
driving
or
biking
or
walking
along
the
street,
you
can't
see.
What's
coming,
we
often
get
requests
for
for
crossings
as
well.
We've
gotten
feedback
about
the
difficulty
of
using
our
paint,
the
pavement
program
and
just
sort
of
the
fees
and
the
expenses
that
go
with
it.
B
I
But
I
did
want
to
mention
this
one
map
that
you
had,
which
was
called
the
durable
crosswalk
program,
candidates
and
I'm,
wondering
if
there's
anything
we
can
tell
our
constituents
or
residents
with
that
they
can
do
to
support
one
of
the
candidates
and
how
you're
going
to
decide
ultimately
on
those
candidates
and
when
they
get
the
durable
crosswalk
treatments
or
not.
What
what
should
we
do
with
that
map?
I
N
Mr.
chair
council,
member
Gordon,
we
have
3,800
crosswalks
in
the
city
and
to
try
to
tabulate
a
priority
system,
and
let
me
know
if
I'm
not
answering
a
question
correctly,
what
was
a
quite
an
extensive
effort?
So
what
we
did-
and
you
know
the
vanillin
overlay
and
the
reconstruction
projects
arm-
are
kind
of
a
simple
aspect
of
this.
It's
all
part
of
that
5-year
program
which
is
developed
for
those
crosswalks
or
I.
Think
the
big
piece
of
this
and
the
piece
that
staff
worked
hard
on
was
outside
of
that
program.
N
Where
do
we
start
to
put
in
the
durable
markings
and
so
what
staff
did
as
best
they
could
if
they
tried
to
go
to
the
crosswalks,
which
we
have
data
for
DIF?
We
don't
have
data
for
just
observational
II
can
conclude
that
it's
a
high
pedestrian
area
and
go
geographically
through
the
city
and
try
to
make
it
as
even
as
possible
with
the
durable
crosswalk
program.
Now
this
is
that's
the
independent
program.
Now
the
painted
crosswalks.
N
Of
course,
every
intersection
outside
of
those
two
programs
will
get
that
so
you'll
see
the
in
up
you'll,
see
the
the
visibility
of
those
crosswalks
right
away
this
year
and
and
actually
with
those
crop
with
the
painted
crosswalk
program
on
there
up
in
North,
Minneapolis
painting
now
on
they'll
be
in
downtown
next,
then
they
go
north
east
southeast
and
then
we'll
finish
up
himself
and
so
that
will
all
be
be
completed
on
this
year.
So
it's
as
far
as
wavering
within
the
durable
crosswalk
program,
I
mean
I.
Think
we're
open
to
that.
N
I
It
was
valuable
information,
so
when
they're
called
a
candidate
for
2018,
that
means
if
everything
goes
as
planned,
and
the
budget
provided,
that's
when
it
will
be
put
in
is
in
2018.
That's
correct,
okay,
so
that's
what
will
tell
people
is
tentatively
scheduled
for
that
for
those
years,
I
mean
that's
what
we
can
tell
them,
or
we
can
look
at
ourselves
when
they're
calling
about
a
crosswalk
and
we
take
great
news
2020,
it's
going
to
be
done.
That's.
F
Any
other
questions
or
comments.
Oh
well.
Obviously
this
is
a
well
received
report.
We
continue
to
expand
what
we
do
out
in
the
community,
both
in
terms
of
our
scope
and
scale
of
the
program.
We're
also
simultaneously
upping
the
quality
of
our
work
out
there.
So
it's
those
two
dynamics
simultaneously
happiness.
A
definitely
something
I
think
is
that
something
the
public
eagerly
will
receive
and
clearly
based
on
counsel
my
peers
up
here.
F
There's
a
lot
of
public
interest,
so
it'll
be
work
well
received,
but
in
the
spirit
of
tangents
I
just
wanted
to
say
you
know,
there's
you
could
really
mind
some
of
these
pictures
for
youth
recruitment
to
public
works.
We
are
got
the
message
out
there
that
public
works
as
a
cool
job.
It's
a
good
job
working
for
the
city's
deeply
meaningful
work,
but
here
you've
got
some
great
graphics.
I
mean
this.
This
program
alone,
you
could
potentially
be
working
on
with
these
customized
vehicles,
really
tricked-out
equipment
and
yeah
flamethrowers.
F
You
could
potentially
be
using
a
flame
to
write,
work
and
so
I,
don't
know.
Junior
high
kids
might
eat
that
up
so
think
about
that
for
our
recruitment
material
with
that
I
believe
this
is
a
report
whether
this
even
file,
all
in
favor
of
receiving
file,
say
I
dissenting
name
that
carries.
Thank
you
very
much,
and
our
final
item
is
a
important
resolution,
with
a
very
significant
recognition
of
the
work
that
we
saw
today
and
some
small
aspects
that
this
department
does
so
I'm
going
to
read
it
for
them.
F
Just
water,
sewers,
streets,
solid
waste
collection
and
whereas
the
health,
safety
and
comfort
of
this
community
greatly
depends
on
these
facilities,
services
and
where's.
The
quality
and
effectiveness
of
these
facilities,
as
well
as
their
planning
design
construction,
are
vitally
dependent
on
the
efforts
and
skill
of
the
Public
Works
officials
and
whereas
the
efficiency
of
the
qualified
and
dedicated
personnel
who
staff
the
Public
Works
Department,
is
materially
influenced
by
the
people's
attitudes
and
understanding
of
the
importance
of
the
work
they
perform.
