The
project
limits
for
37th
Avenue
Northeast
is

mains
fifth
Street
northeast.
This
is
phase
one
of
a
two-year
two-phase
project
for
the
work
done
for
this
year.
The
road
was
built
in
1981
and
has
a
PCI
of
63.
The
total
cost
for
the
resurfacing
program
for
this
year
is
8.3
million
dollars,

I'll
move
the
item
as

all
in

say:
aye
sent
a
name
that
carries
and
we've
concluded
our
public
hearings
for
the
day,
and
we
can
now
go
to
our
discussion
items
starting
with
item
17,
your
city,
your
streets,
2017,
progress
report,
director
hutchinson.
Mr.
D
Chair
members
of
the
committee,
I
am
very
pleased
to
for
introductory
comments
on
discussion.
Item
number
17,
your
city,
your
streets,
the
2017
progress
report
in
2016,
the
City
Council
adopted
a
resolution
that
devoted
twenty
million
dollars
a
year
in
additional
funding
towards
our
streets
in
Minneapolis.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
make
needed
improvements,
citywide
and
also
an
opportunity
for
us
to
focus
on
equity
for
both
racially
concentrated
areas
of
poverty
as
well
as
equity
of
modes.
D
We
feel
responsible
and
accountable
to
you
and
to
our
public
to
give
a
progress
report
each
year
on
the
work
that's
been
done
with
this
investment
and,
furthermore,
because
we've
adapted
our
capital
improvement
program
criteria
for
selection.
We
are
able
to
bundle
together
the
work
we've
done
each
year
for
a
comprehensive
report.
Back
so
Liz
Haman
with
transportation
planning
and
programming
is
going
to
walk
you
through
our
very
first
2017
progress
report,
which
we
plan
to
share
with
you
on
an
annual
basis.
Here's
good.
G
So,
starting
with
our
pedestrian
improvements
in
2017,
we
improved
12
miles
of
our
pedestrian
realms.
That
includes
our
sidewalks
and
our
boulevard
areas
an
example
of
pedestrian
realm
that
we're
counting
into
the
statistics
would
be
improved.
Sidewalks.
You
can
see
there
in
the
sewer
at
Avenue
bicycle
boulevard
projects,
it's
a
bump
out
that
was
constructed
as
part
of
that
project,
as
well
as
improved
sidewalks
and
boulevard
space,
an
example
on
46th
Avenue.
South
we've
got
some
orange
cones
where
those
trees
will
come
in
this
year.
G
But
those
are
the
examples
of
pedestrian
improvements
through
that
12
miles
in
2017,
the
city
discontinued.
Our
parallel
line
crosswalk
and
replace
those
with
our
zebra
crosswalks
3700
of
those
were
installed
across
seven
across
2017.
That's
almost
the
entirety
of
the
city's
marked
crosswalks.
So
a
really
big
improvement.
Those
zebra
crossings
are
much
more
easy
to
see.
They
help
pedestrians,
take
the
crossing
safely
and
we're
really
proud
of
that
work
and
that
accomplishment
for
2017.
It's
a
big
number
and
a
big
project
in
2017.
G
The
city
installed
388
new
pedestrian
ramps,
as
you
can
see
from
the
table
below
the
large
majority
of
those
were
done
through
our
Minneapolis
paving
and
traffic
projects.
However,
some
of
those
were
also
done
in
coordination
with
private
utilities.
The
park
board
private
developers
as
well
as
kind
of
in
County,
and
then
also
a
handful
done
through
our
ad
a
standalone
ad,
a
ramp
program
replacement
in
2017,
the
city
constructed
160,
curb
extensions,
curb
extensions,
help,
narrow
crossings
for
pedestrians,
that
both
signalized
and
uncivilised
crosswalks
were
we're
really
happy
with
this
number
again.
G
The
large
majority
of
these
were
driven
through
our
paving
projects
and
programs
with
some
coming
through
our
traffic
projects,
as
well
as
our
cooperative
projects
with
Hennepin,
County
and
Minda.
We
think
this
shows
our
Complete
Streets
lens
that
we're
using
when
we're
looking
at
every
single
detail
and
design
detail
for
our
construction
projects.
We
really
managed
to
get
hit
a
high
number
of
these
and
narrow
up
a
lot
of
crossings
for
our
reconstruction
projects
in
2017
an
example
of
one
of
those
curb
extensions
at
Washington,
Street,
Northeast
and
22nd
Avenue
Northeast.
G
You
can
see
the
curb
extension
there
on
the
left
side
of
the
photo
from
this
aerial.
It
gives
a
little
better
context
of
the
improvement
that
was
actually
made.
It
was
very,
very
wide
crossing
being
able
to
coordinate
this
curb
extension
with
a
resurfacing
project
along
Washington.
Street
northeast
definitely
narrowed
up
the
the
crossing
there
and
improve
the
pedestrian
realm
for
people
using
this
crossing
every
day.
G
Another
pedestrian
improvement,
our
samachar
crossing.
This
is
a
full
reconstruction
of
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
focused
crossing
linking
Cedar
Riverside
to
downtown
this
project
is
being
completed
in
two
phases
is
a
picture
of
phase
one
again
an
important
pedestrian
link
addition
for
the
city
here
and
adding
that
bicycle
trail
across
helped
people
get
back
and
forth
between
these
two
locations
within
the
city.
G
Moving
on
to
our
2017
bicycle
improvements
in
2017,
we
installed
14.5
miles
of
new
bicycle
facilities.
7.4
miles
of
those
were
on-street
bicycle
lanes,
4.5
miles
were
protected
lanes
and
2.4
miles
of
bicycle
boulevards,
with
a
small
section
point
two
miles
of
shared
lanes
again,
a
big
number
here,
as
you
can
see
from
the
map.
These
improvements
were
scattered
across
the
city,
linking
up
gaps
in
our
bicycle
network
and
putting
in
improvements
along
following
our
policy
guidance
for
a
protected
bike
bike
plan,
as
well
as
the
city's
bicycle
master
plan.
G
These
projects
and
the
mileage
included
here
do
do
bring
into
our
County
project
partnerships
as
well,
along
with
MnDOT
and
the
park
Ward
and
with
those
2017
improvements
installed.
Our
entire
network
is
up
to
244
miles
of
bicycle
ways
across
the
city
and
marching
onward
on
this
graph.
Added
that
bar
chart
to
the
right
side
with
2017
follows
our
year-over-year
accomplishments
of
adding
more
and
more
bicycle
facilities
throughout
the
city,
especially
with
the
addition
of
more
protected
lanes.
That
helps
encourage
new
rioters
to
try
out
moving
by
bicycle
throughout
our
city.
G
Highlighting
a
few
of
these
projects,
the
26th
Street
West
and
28th
Street
West
protected
bike
way
as
a
three
mile
project
linking
in
the
phase
to
the
east
going
right
through
the
heart
of
Uptown.
It
was
a
retrofit
project
adding
in
our
paint
and
bother
and
application,
making
it
safer
and
more
comfortable
for
cyclists
to
access
this
area,
all
kinds
of
businesses,
a
lot
of
locations,
a
heavily
used
corridor.
So
it's
a
great
addition
for
a
protected
bike.
White
network.
G
G
8Th
Street,
southeast
and
on-street
bicycle
lane
project
this
one
we
wanted
to
highlight
in
showing
our
coordination
with
our
resurfacing
program.
We
use
our
again
our
Complete
Streets
lens
here
to
look
at
how
we
can
build
out
our
network
through
opportunity
projects.
So,
as
these
resurfacing
is
come
along,
this
project
was
coordinated
to
help
both
our
our
goals
within
our
pedestrian
or
excuse
me,
our
bicycle
master
plan.
So
we
like
to
highlight
this
one
showing
how
we're
making
those
two
things
work
together
and
really
thinking
ahead
to
try
and
get
these
projects
rolled
out.
G
Third
Avenue
South
the
protected
bike
way
project
connecting
3rd
Avenue
from
on
this
side
of
the
river
over
up
to
University,
Avenue,
coordinated
with
MnDOT
another
critical
link
allowing
people
a
comfortable
way
to
cross
the
river
on
the
3rd
Avenue
Bridge
Oak,
Street,
South
East.
This
is
a
protected
bike
way
upgrade.
It
was
a
small
segment,
but
we're
really
excited
about
this
new
application.
This
was
taking
a
existing
paint
and
bollard
protected
bike
way
and
upgrading
it
to
a
curve
protected
section.
G
It's
a
new
design
this
year
left
this
2017
for
the
city
and
it
was
a
2
foot
wide
7
inch
high,
curb
we're
looking
at
installing
these
at
other
locations
across
the
cities.
We
were
glad
to
get
the
small
test
block
in
get
all
the
kinks
worked
out,
see
how
it
worked
and
we'll
be
rolling
out
more
of
these.
So
again,
another
insight,
exciting
improvement.
The
new
type
of
design
in
2017.
G
Getting
into
our
Street
improvement
projects,
these
are
our
street
resurfacing,
our
concrete
Street
rehabilitation,
as
well
as
our
full
reconstruction
projects.
You
can
see
on
the
bottom
left
example
of
a
resurfacing
project
and
then
on
the
bottom
right
example
of
a
panel
replacement
for
our
concrete
rehab
program
in
2017,
we
resurface
25
miles
of
asphalt,
streets,
five
miles
of
our
concrete
rehab
program
and
five
miles
of
our
full
reconstruction
projects
for
our
full
reconstruction
projects.
We
do
know
we
have
a
few
tasks
that
have
slipped
into
the
next
year.
These
are
big
projects.
G
You
can
see
those
locations
on
the
right
side
of
the
map
and,
as
Robin
mentioned,
these
get
to
our
focus
on
racial
economic
equity
laid
out
in
our
20-year
streets
funding
plan
and
the
goals
accomplished
within
that
plan.
So
in
2017
we
resurface
five
miles
of
streets
within
these
ACP
50
areas,
as
well
as
one
mile
of
streets
fully
reconstructed
streets
within
these
areas,
approximately
23
percent
of
city-owned
streets
are
located
with
me
within
these
areas.
23
percent
of
streets
and
both
those
are
about
20%
of
our
work
done
for
the
through
those
two
programs.
G
Concrete
rehabilitation
was
the
first
year
that
work
that
work
was
done
out
in
Waite
Park,
which
was
outside
of
any
ECP
50
areas.
That
location
was
just
chosen
based
on
work,
history,
the
type
of
location
we
could
scale
for
our
programming
in
the
future.
We
do
have
potential
concrete
rehab
candidates
within
ACP
50s.
We
are
considering
that
as
we
move
forward
with
this
program.
G
Again
wanting
to
mention
our
completes,
Complete
Streets
lens
that
we
use
when
we
choose
these
projects,
though
some
of
those
big
numbers
we
talked
about
earlier
14.5
miles
of
bicycle
facilities
installed
as
well
as
160
kerb
extensions.
The
large
majority
of
that
work
was
done
through
our
Street
reconstruction
and
street
resurfacing
programs.
Just
wanting
to
highlight
that
all
of
these
things
are
working
in
concert
to
help
us
accomplish
our
goals
through
these
projects
and
programs.
G
G
H
Thank
you
sometimes
I
just
get
so
excited
about
this
stuff.
It
takes
a
minute.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
presentation,
I
had
a
couple
questions.
One
was
about
how
we're
approaching
pedestrian
improvements
and
I
know
that
we're
integrating
a
lot
of
pedestrian
improvements
into
reconstruction
projects.
But
can
you
talk
about
some
of
the
more
dangerous
intersections
in
town
and
how
we
might
be
targeting
pest,
free
and
safety
improvements
to
those
places
where
we
know
there's
a
lot
of
conflicts
or
how
else
we
might
be
approaching
pedestrian
planning
beyond
the
reconstruction
project?
Yes,.
G
Chair
a
council
member
has
been
directed
to
answer
that
question
for
you.
First
of
all,
we
have
our
new
and
safety
program
that
was
incorporated
into
the
CIP
last
year,
but
also
using
a
data-driven
approach.
Looking
at
our
pedestrian
crash
study
that
recently
came
out
every
time
we
start
choosing
projects
they're
looking
at
projects
and
opportunities
for
grant
funding
or
new
projects
to
put
into
those
programs.
We
start
looking
at
those
data
sources
first,
so
that's
our
first
step
in
all
this.
The
data-driven
approach
for
looking
at
those
really
problem
areas
that
you
highlighted.
G
H
I
appreciate
that
so
much
and
then
I
also
just
wanted.
We've
had
we've
talked
about
this
so
many
times,
but
I
just
want
to
highlight
how
big
of
deal
I
think
it
was
that
staff
decided
to
convert
all
of
our
crosswalks
into
the
city
in
the
city
to
this
high
visibility
painting
and
do
you
know
how
that's
going
do
we
have
any?
Are
we
analyzing
that
or
do
we
know
how
that's
been
working
so
far,
Jericho.
G
H
And
I
don't
know,
I
mean
it's
probably
unlikely
that
we
would
see
like
a
shift
in
crass
to
crash
statistics,
citywide
from
something
like
that.
But
I
was
just
curious
if
we're
how
we
might
be
hearing
feedback
about
that
change
and
it's
completely
fine
to
follow
up
and
then
I
just
wanted
to
note
so
I
think
when
we
make
changes
like
this
I
hear
so
much
support
for
my
constituents.
The
number
one
concern
that
I
hear
from
my
constituents
is
either
the
topic.
H
That's
coming
up
next
snow
removal
in
the
wintertime
and
speeding
cars,
the
rest
of
the
year
and
people
call
my
office
asking
us
to
put
in
stop
signs
and
speed
bumps
all
the
time,
just
sort
of
begging
us
to
make
it
safer
to
get
around
the
neighborhood.
We
have
a
lot
of
schools
at
the
parks
where
people
are
trying
to
get
to
safely,
and
you
know
I
think
when
we
put
in
these
improvements.
H
The
press
narrative
is
often
you
know
like
cars
versus
bikes
or
pedestrians
versus
cars,
and
I
I'm
curious
how
we're
tracking
the
impact
on
cars
of
the
improvements
we're
making.
It
seems
to
me
that
most
of
the
changes
we're
making
you
know
actually
keep
traffic
flowing
pretty
well.
I
know
that
your
retiming
signals
often
to
keep
traffic
flowing,
and
so
it
seems
to
me
actually
we're
probably
improving
the
streets
for
all
users
without
making
a
huge
impact
on
how
long
it
might
take
someone
to
drive
to
work
or
drive
to
school,
but
I'm
just
curious.
G
Councilmember
bender
that
evaluation
work
for
all
modes
for
these
projects
is
in
process
every
time
we
put
one
of
these
in
so,
for
example,
we're
looking
at
again,
as
you
mentioned,
signal
timing
on
26th
and
28th.
We
have
that
question.
That's
come
up
and
we're
continuing
evaluating
and
putting
in
new
evaluation
techniques
for
all
of
these
projects
to
make
sure
that
we
all
look.
G
D
Chair
I
might
add
a
couple
of
supplemental
answers.
First
of
all,
John
Morrison
team
have
been
busily
installing
the
zebra
crosswalks
and
we
all
together
have
heard
tremendous
amount
of
positive
feedback.
So
one
one
thing
we
are
tracking
is
what
we're
hearing
and
we
have
been
thanked
from
every
corner
of
the
city
for
the
installation
of
those
crosswalks,
and
it
was
a
tremendous
lift
on
the
part
of
the
team
and
I
would
like
to
recognize
that
I
think
it's
making
a
big
difference.
D
Second
I
have
been
reviewing
with
transportation,
planning
and
programming
our
new
assembly
and
approach
two
before
and
after
studies
for
each
corridor
that
we
look
at
so
it
takes
a
few
years.
I
wanted
to
note
this
that
to
get
good
data
that
has
settled
out
after
a
construction
period,
the
best
time
to
do
it
is
about
two
years
after
you
install
the
team
is
coming
up
with
a
more
formalized
approach,
actually
has
come
up
with
a
more
formalized
approach
to
completing
before-and-after
studies
of
each
corridor.
I
You
know
we're
on
the
menu
a
couple
of
years
ago,
so
I
think
my
message
to
you
is
at
least
partially
sorted
be
ready
for
a
constituents
coming
forward
saying
you
know.
We
really
need
this
at
this
intersection
on
this
intersection
in
this
intersection
and
I.
Think
the
demand
for
pedestrian
friendly
streets
is
only
going
to
go
up
and
that's
a
really
good
thing
and
also
just
say,
I
mean
you
know.
It
has
been
my
perspective
that
you
know:
we've
seen
substantial
population
growth
and
had
we
done
nothing,
I
think
traffic
would
be
worse.
Then.
I
A
Questions
your
comments,
great
work,
you're
really
highlight-
is
very
well
presented.
Graphics
help
are
helpful,
but
it
just
really
just
scratched
the
surface
of
all
that
goes
into
actually
delivering
on
the
results
that
then
we
quantify
and
have
a
nice
presentation
for
so
I
want
to
recognize
the
groundwork
that
goes
behind.
All
of
this,
which
is
monumental,
I,
think
to
a
council
president
benders
comments
regarding
you
know
just
this.
When
you
do
it,
when
you
design
a
rate,
it
should
be
working
for
everyone.
A
You
know,
despite
the
mode
at
that
moment
and
highly
anecdotal,
no
statistical
significance
whatsoever,
but
I
had
a
complaint
from
one
a
constituent.
You
know
regarding
some
pop
outs
at
a
very
high
frequency,
Mondavi
interface
with
some
local
rose
on
Central
Avenue,
and
she
said
I
just
could
just
hate.
Taking
that
turn
with
those
bump
outs
or
did
it
they
were
designed
wrong.
I
said
so
you
you
drive
any
differently
when
you
take
your
turn,
no
I
said
you're
missing
the
point.
A
You're
supposed
to
drive
more
slowly
on
the
turn
when
you
interface
with
a
heavy
pedestrian
area
and
so
I,
don't
think
she
really
agreed
with
me
at
that
moment.
But
but
but
I
stand
by
my
point
in
observation
and
then
in
the
example
that
you
gave
were
it
was
a
completely
confusing
wide
street.
It
was
actually
a
remnant
turn
around
route
for
streetcars
from
back
in
the
day,
and
drivers
have
been
thanking
me
more
than
pedestrians.
A
It
now
makes
more
sense
where
the
driver
is
supposed
to
go
at
that
intersection,
let
alone
the
local
residents
who
lock
that
I
was
pretty
happy
to
so
I
think
again,
not
statistical
and
not
quantified
yet
but
I.
Think
council,
president
Bender's
point
if
we
were
to
examine
it
without
sort
of
an
ideological
lens
or
a
bias,
we
would
see
that
it
is
working
as
it's
designed
to
so
with
that
I.
Thank
you
for
the
report
and
I
will
move
the
item
as
a
receiving
file.
All
in
favor
say
aye
the
Cente
name
that
carries.
D
D
The
first
component
is
a
report
on
the
study
which
outlines
a
range
of
possibilities
for
both
winter
mate,
for
both
bike,
bicycling
and
walking
winter
maintenance,
Matthew
Darrell's,
going
to
walk
you
through
that
and
then,
when
Matthew
is
finished,
walking
you
through
the
contents
of
the
study
I'm,
also
going
to
invite
Lisa
Cerny
our
city,
engineer,
deputy
director
to
present
information,
that's
contained
within
the
supplemental
report.
That
has
also
been
provided
to
you,
because
public
works-
and
you
all
have
heard
numerous
comments
over
many
years
about
walking
in
winter.
D
On
our
sidewalks,
we
felt
it
was
important
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into
that
single
topic
so
that
we
could
summarize
what
we
are
hearing
from
the
public,
try
to
identify
some
of
the
root
causes
of
the
issues
and
tell
you
what
we
plan
to
do
in
this
next
winter
season.
So
there's
two
components
and
we'll
start
with
Matthew
and
the
broader
winter
maintenance
study.
D
B
Morning,
good
morning,
mr.
chair
committee,
members,
my
name
is
Matthew
Dahl
and
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
coordinator
in
the
transportation
planning
and
programming
division.
The
public
works
again.
The
purpose
of
this
presentation
is
a
receiving
file
of
the
pedestrian
and
bicycle
winter.
Maintenance
study
I
want
to
thank
tool,
design
group
who
is
our
consultant
on
the
project
and
helped
us
through
this
process.
B
The
goal
of
the
study
is
to
identify
alternative
winter
maintenance
options
that
can
help
us
enhance
the
quality
and
consistency
of
winter
maintenance
practices
and,
ultimately,
to
improve
the
safety,
accessibility
and
mobility
for
people
that
are
walking
and
biking
on
our
streets.
Just
an
outline
of
the
document.
There
are
three
primary
sections.
The
first
one
describes
our
existing
practices
around
walking
biking,
winter
maintenance
in
Minneapolis.
B
So
I'm
going
to
start
with
a
little
overview
of
section
one
and
we'll
start
with
walking
city
ordinance
for
45
sets
our
policy
for
responsibility
for
a
sidewalk
clearance,
and
so
property
owners
are
responsible
for
clearing
snow
and
ice
from
sidewalks
that
are
adjacent
to
properties
that
they
own
our
enforcement
process.
While
a
little
bit
proactive,
there
are
some
proactive
enforcement
in
Minneapolis.
Most
of
it
is
through
our
three
on
one
system,
so
it's
complaint
driven
and
then
the
city
also
has
a
corner
clearing
program
that
started
in
1995
and
then
in
2015.
B
There
was
a
intentional
focus
on
a
network
of
predefined
pedestrian
priority
routes,
and
so
we
currently
used
the
pedestrian
street
lighting
corridors
as
the
priority
routes
to
start
on
that
corner,
clearing
and
corner
clearing
is
primarily
targeted
at
Windrose
that
are
left
by
plows
to
essentially
punch
out
the
curb
ramps
for
crosswalks
moving
on
also
in
section
one
to
the
bike
ways
bike
way.
Winter
responsibilities
are
shared
among
a
variety
of
agencies,
including
the
city
Minneapolis
Hennepin
County
in
the
appleÃs
Park
and
Recreation
Board
U
of
M
I.
Think,
that's
all
so.
B
Our
shared
use
paths
and
on
street
protected
bike
lanes
in
Minneapolis
have
a
level
of
service
goal
to
be
cleared
within
24
hours
of
the
end
of
a
self-thought.
As
you
know,
and
we
just
heard
from
Liz
Heyman
we've
been
installing
on
street
protected
bikeways
for
the
past
several
years
and
I've
noticed
the
very
positive
response,
particularly
on
social
media,
with
those
new
facilities,
sometimes
a
lot
of
times.
B
People
take
a
picture
and
say
clear
before
the
street
that
type
of
thing,
and
we
hear
that
a
lot
with
Midtown
Greenway
as
well
standard
on
street
bike
lanes
and
bicycle
boulevards
are
perhaps
a
little
more
challenging.
Those
two
facility
types
are
cleared
when
the
underlying
street
is
cleared
so
there
there
are
times
different
levels
of
service
because
some
streets
are
on
the
snow,
emergency
routes
and
others
are
not
and
then
also
with
standard
on
street
bike
lanes.
It's
especially
challenging
when
there
are
parked
cars,
if
they're
not
on
the
pedestrian
or
snow
clear.
B
This
is
the
snow
clearance
routes,
because
the
snow
will
build
up,
and
so
cars
start
to
move
out
a
little
bit
section.
Two
is
a
city
agency
review.
This
is
a
summary
of
research
and
interviews
with
13
cities
again
in
Minnesota,
and
the
US,
primarily
in
the
bullets
on
the
screen,
are
sort
of
an
overview
of
the
themes
that
we
gathered
from
these
communities.
They're
wrestling
with
the
same
types
of
issues
that
we
are
North
American,
snow
climates,
so
increased,
Public,
Communications
and
reporting
methods.
B
A
lot
of
cities
are
wrestling
with
similar
issues
that
we
are
in
terms
of
enforcement
of
sidewalk.
Clearing
I
want
to
highlight
priority
networks
as
well,
for
both
walking
and
bicycling
different
cities
approach
priority
networks
in
a
variety
of
ways.
Some
of
them
use
an
inch
threshold,
so
city
forces
may
take
on
the
responsibility
of
sidewalk
clearance
based
on
some
type
of
threshold,
whether
it
be
one
two
or
four
inches
in
those
cities
will
often
target
a
priority
network,
usually
in
commercial
areas,
and
that
kind
of
thing.
B
B
So
moving
on
to
the
alternative
winter
maintenance
options
in
section
3,
the
list
before
you
describes
options
for
walking
the
short
term
options
on
the
screen
described
a
process
with
the
assumption
that
we
have
the
same
system
that
property
owners
are
responsible
for
sidewalk
clearance
and
then
includes
sort
of
a
comprehensive
approach
to
improving
the
effectiveness
of
that
system.
And
that
includes
designating
a
winter
pedestrian
priority
network.
B
And
you
can
see
it
on
the
screen.
But
I
just
want
to
highlight
a
couple
that
we'll
hear
a
little
bit
later
from
Lisa
Cerny,
looking
at
our
current
enforcement
process
and
in
ways
that
we
can
include
it
or
improve
that,
and
then
long
term
again
are
the
options
that
describe
the
city,
taking
on
some
responsibility
for
all
responsibility
for
the
sidewalk
and
there's
two
different
options
for
each
of
those,
and
that
gets
that,
whether
or
not
we
would
assign
some
type
of
threshold
based
on
past
snowfall,
inches.
B
So
in
Minneapolis
that
could
be
a
shared
use
paths
and
on
street
protected
bikeways,
and
we
think
that's
important,
because
people
may
go
a
little
bit
out
of
their
way
if
they
expect
that
it
would
be
clear
versus
a
route
that
may
not
be
clear
when
they're
commuting
or
trying
to
get
where
they're
going
and
then.
C
H
Said,
of
course,
quick
question
about
this
I
am
we
don't
have
a
huge
number
or
miles
of
bicycle
boulevards,
but
the
ones
we
do
have
I
think
are
heavily
used,
particularly
by
folks
who
are
maybe
not
as
comfortable
riding
in
traffic
folks
with
families,
and
so
I
hear
a
lot
about
an
interest
in
having
Bryan
Avenue
bicycle
Boulevard
in
my
ward,
be
a
priority.
Plowing
Street
as
well
and
I
wondered
if
that's
included
in
what
you'd
consider
that
winter
bicycle
priority
network.
Sure.
B
Thank
You
mr.
chair
council,
president
bender.
That
would
be
the
type
of
question
that
we
would
consider
in
designating
the
winter
ice
priority
Network
so
currently,
I
think
as
I
mentioned
people
are.
People
are
generally
aware
that
our
answer
you
protected
would
be
clear
before
but
out
as
staff
looks
into
that,
I
think
that's
something
that
we
would
consider
something
that
we've
heard
a
lot
from
our
bicycle:
Advisory,
Committee
and
others
as
well,
so
and
then
moving
on
to
the
longer
term
options
for
bicycling,
defining
the
standard
level
of
service
for
clearing
the
party
network.
B
That
would
include
that
include
things
like
timing
and
and
and
just
level
of
service
for
those
priority
networks.
And
then
we
we
worked
with
Hennepin
County
on
a
maintenance
study
as
well
over
the
past
year
or
so,
and
one
of
the
strategies
in
their
maintenance
study
was
developing
a
regional
winter
bicycle
priority
network
and
I.
Think
that
could
be
important
for
especially
for
people
that
are
commuting
into
and
out
of
Minneapolis
on
on
a
daily
basis,
so
coordinating
with
Hennepin
County
and
some
of
our
surrounding
suburbs
and
then
also
st.
B
So
some
changes
that
are
already
in
place
on
communications
we've
been
working
with
our
communications
department,
a
lot
on
making
sure
that
the
communications
around
snow
events
are
sorted
in
the
forefront,
I'm
social
media
posts
and
those
types
of
things
and
with
with
walking
in
particular,
it's
not
just
event
based.
There's
freeze
thaw
cycles
that
particularly
impact
on
sidewalks
versus
the
roadway
I'm.
B
Typically,
when
the
roadways
is
cleared,
the
tires
of
more
vehicles,
keep
it
keep
it
pretty
clear,
but
with
freeze
thaw
a
lot
of
times
that
it
won't
snow
for
a
couple
weeks,
but
it
may
warm
up
and
freeze
overnight
and
then
there's
ice
so
reminders
via
social
media
are
helpful
there
as
well,
and
then
the
enforcement
process
again.
Lisa
attorney
will
describe
that
in
further
detail
in
a
moment.
B
But
this
past
year
we
had
a
trial
elimination
of
an
initial
inspection
prior
to
a
Notice
of
Violation
and
with
an
effort
to
speed
up
the
amount
of
time
it
takes
from
a
complaint
to
when
that
sidewalk
is
clear,
and
so
with
that
I'm
going
to
turn
it
over
to
Lisa.
Certainly
for
the
supplemental
analysis.
Thank.
C
J
Morning,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Lisa
cernium,
the
City
Engineer
W
Detroit,
deputy
director
of
public
works,
so
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
while
we
were
completing
the
winter
maintenance
study
wrapping
that
up,
we,
the
whole
department,
really
identified
that
we
need
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into
sidewalks.
We
hear
a
lot
about
sidewalks.
We
know
you
hear
a
lot
about
sidewalks,
and
so
we
wanted
to
put
in
that
extra
effort
in
that
area.
So
we
created
our
Supplemental
document.
J
Kind
of
some
of
the
themes
that
we've
been
hearing
is
that
sidewalks
are
clear
or
it
takes
too
long
or
I
didn't
know,
I
needed
the
specific
address
in
order
for
you
guys
to
do
what
you
needed
to
do,
or
the
case
was
closed,
but
nothing's
changed,
and
so
we've
been
looking
into
a
lot
of
those
things
to
kind
of
try
to
understand
the
root
causes
and
what
we
can
do
better.
We
know
we
can
do
better,
and
so
there's
a
few
things
that,
like
Matthew,
said,
we've
we've
tried.
J
We
worked
to
shorten
the
timeline
there
was
that
helped,
but
there
were
also
some
disadvantages
to
that.
We
realized
that
in
the
process
there's
a
couple
of
different
tools
that
we
use
so
3-1-1
uses
a
certain
software
and
that
software
then
gets
transitioned
to
another
software
in
order
to
complete
the
work
order
during
that
transition.
The
communication
to
the
public
says
it's
done.
It's
taken
care
of
we're.
Really
it's
just
moved
into
the
next
step
of
getting
the
sidewalk
cleared.
J
So
there's
a
number
of
things
that
we
identified,
that
we
can
do
and
we
can
do
better
and
we're
continuing
to
do.
Those
we've
also
gone
out,
and
we've
made
some
of
our
own
observations
to
see
what
other
tools
can
we
can?
We
do
is
it
type
of
communication?
Is
it
multi
languages?
Is
it
people
that
don't
have
the
ability
to
that
clear
their
sidewalks?
So
the
Supplemental
really
document
really
identifies
four
key
things
that
we
want
to
try
in
the
2018-19
winter
season.
J
That
leads
into
the
next
one
we'll
work
to
match
those
individuals
that
have
the
capacity
to
clear
snow
with
those
that
do
not
have
the
capacity
again
to
make
sure
there
are
options
and
opportunities
for
them
to
meet
the
expectations
in
the
ordinance
and
make
sure
that
people
traveling
on
our
sidewalks
can
can
move
around
safely.
We
also
are
going
to
pilot
proactive
inspection,
so,
like
Matthew
said,
we
have
historically
been
primarily
complaint
driven.
J
Like
increasing
the
awareness,
how
do
we
do
that?
How
what
the
frequency
and
awareness
campaign
as
well
as
updating
our
webpage
again
to
make
sure
we
have
consistent
messages
to
make
sure
we're
clearly
communicating
to
the
entire
community
businesses
residents
renters
to
make
sure
they
understand
what
their
role
and
responsibility
is
in
this
and
then
move
forward.
This
is
not
in
the
Supplemental,
but
with
with
the
short
term
bicycle
options
as
well,
so
with
that
I
will
stand
for
any
questions.
K
K
That
would
further
enhance
the
city's
goals
for
walkable
city
in
winter
and
taking
into
account
the
priority
areas
identified
by
the
PA
C
staff
will
return
to
this
committee
in
September,
with
feasibility
estimates
and
in
May
of
2019
to
report
out
implementation
of
short
term
items
and
just
to
speak
to
this
and
I
greatly
appreciate
the
chairs
partnership
on
this
amendment,
as
well
as
our
Director
of
Public
Works.
This
is
an
issue
that
I
know.
I'm,
certainly
passionate
about
many
residents
are
passionate
about
and
I'm
sure.
K
You
know
we
have
winter
every
single
year
for
half
the
year
and
we
recently
had
the
Super
Bowl
here
and
we
are
branding
ourselves
as
the
bold
north
and
I
think
that,
frankly,
our
condition
of
our
sidewalks
are
probably
the
biggest
barrier
for
really
enjoying
the
winter
and
accessibility
in
our
entire
city
and
I.
Think
and
I
know.
We
can
do
better
and
I'm
glad
to
see
the
supplemental
report.
I
will
note
I,
I
personally
lean
towards
them
even
more
aggressive
approach
and
I
know,
though,
that
this
is
trying
to
strike
that
balance.
K
So
I
appreciate
the
thoughtfulness
of
this
approach
by
staff
I
personally
like
to
see,
for
instance,
small
fines
immediately
for
individuals
who
are
in
violation
of
sidewalk
clearing,
ten
or
twenty
dollars.
It's
not
enough
to
bankrupt
a
low-income
or
fixed
income
individual,
but
is
enough
to
catch
people's
attention
and
really
increases
compliance
so
we're
all,
because
today
is
kind
of
like
the
Wild
West
with
sidewalks.
We
have
so
you
know
when
it
snows
people
reasonably
expect.
I've
got
to
move
my
car,
otherwise
I'm
getting
ticketed
or
I'm
getting
towed
and
our
streets
reliably
get
plowed.
K
L
One
of
the
things
I'm
concerned
that
might
be
missing,
so
the
first
short-term
pedestrian
winter
maintenance
recommendation
was
to
designate
a
winter
pedestrian
priority
network
and
that
doesn't
seem
to
be
checked
off
as
something
to
pursue
immediately.
So
that
appears
to
be
left
out
of
the
staff
direction
and
I
think
it
would
be
enormous
ly
helpful
if
we
came
back
in
September
and
we
had
some
idea
of
what
we
thought.
L
The
priority
network
should
be
I,
don't
know
how
difficult
and
challenging
that
would
be
to
identify
I
think
everyone
will
think
liam
snow
emergency
routes,
our
priority
network
design,
fight
for
automobiles,
and
it's
like
how
could
we
and
I
just
think
it's
something
we
have
to
get
to
quickly,
I
think.
Clearly,
there
are
some
areas
in
the
city
where
more
people
walk
and
need
to
walk
in
the
winter
to
get
to
mass
transit
and
to
use
transit
and
I'm.
L
Assuming
because
it's
a
recommendation
that
we
don't
actually
have
a
priority
network
identified
yet,
but
also
in
the
staff
direction,
it
talks
about
primaried
priority
areas
identified
by
the
PA
C.
So
maybe
I
can
just
hear
back
a
little
bit
about
how
that's
connected
to
our
priority
network
or
how
hard
it
would
be
to
come
back
with
some
recommendations
on
a
priority.
Networking
so
or
actually
I
prefer
to
hear
about
how
easy
it
would
be
to
come
back
in
September,
where
we.
J
L
J
Chair
council,
member
garden,
the
pedestrian
priority
network
would
definitely
be
part
of
the
scenarios
and
the
work
that
we
would
do
on
the
citywide
clearing
process.
That
is
where
the
details
would
come
in
prioritizing,
which
of
our
many
miles
of
sidewalks
would
go
first
and
how
that
would
be
accomplished
and,
as
we
think
through
that,
we
would
use
the
Complete
Streets
guideline
to
help
us
identify.
Like
you
mentioned
the
bus
routes,
probably
schools,
things
like
that.
That
would
be
first
on
the
list
of
clearing.
So.
A
L
L
Thank
you,
and,
and
just
generally
I
really
appreciate
this
coming
forward
and
giving
us
something
to
look
at
I
appreciate,
seeing
the
other
cities
and
what
they're
doing
I
I
actually
think
that
their
main
obstacle
in
getting
this
done
is
going
to
be
cost,
and
so
that's
the
thing
I
think
we
have
to
think
about
in
terms
of
it.
I
think
it
would
be
within
our
grasp
to
provide
a
lot
more
pedestrian
access
throughout
the
winter.
L
L
Certainly,
we
get
a
lot
of
complaints
about
snow
plowing,
the
streets
for
the
cars
and
the
other
vehicles,
but
but
we
also
do
an
amazing
job
and
that
priority
there
and
I
would
think
that
there's
an
expectation
growing
that
we
should
raise
the
level
of
service
up
so
that
our
sidewalks
are
at
least
comparable
to
the
bike.
Sorry
I
think
even
even
the
vehicles
I,
it
seems
like
there
might
even
be
a
lot
of
people
that
would
be
willing
and
able
to
put
that
on
their
utility
bill
if
they
thought
their
front.
L
Sidewalk
is
going
to
get
cleared
the
day
after
it
snows
and
I'm
willing
to
pitch
in
and
do
that
or
they
might
even
be
willing
to
put
a
little
assessment
on
their
utility
bill
if
they
knew
that.
Oh,
the
city
is
going
to
provide
some
snow
clearing
for
my
neighbor
down
the
street,
who
can't
do
it
him
or
herself,
and
so
that
I'm
going
to
have
access
to
this
I
think
this
is
an
investment.
I
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
I,
I'll
just
say:
I'm
I'm
glad
to
hear
that
you
got
some
positive
feedback
on
the
bike
lane
snow
removal,
I
need
to
figure
out
who
you
follow
on
Twitter,
because
I
I
will
just
say
and
I
want
a
name
and
I.
I
That
I
think
there
are
some
things
in
this
report
that
identified
just
significant
gaps
that
when
we
say
they're
not
loud,
are
actually
just
not
okay
with
people
and
so
I
think.
It's
really
important
that
we
sort
of
recognize
that
and
and
know
that
because
I'll
just
say
the
the
constituent
feedback
that
I
got
was
very
very
clear
that
we
are
not.
F
I
People's
expectations
right
so
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
we
need
to
do
is
figure
out.
How
do
we
articulate
a
set
of
expectations
that
are
realistic?
That
everybody
can
can
share
right,
because
I
certainly
also
had
people
who,
after
we
had
you,
know
one
of
the
biggest
snowstorms
in
seven
years?
Tweeting
pictures
at
me
for
hours
after
the
snow
stops
and
like
this
bike
lanes
not
cleared
yet
it
was
like
well.
I
Okay,
like
there
is
probably
it's
probably
a
reasonable
expectation
that
when
we
get
a
seven
year
snowstorm,
it
might
take
a
day
or
two
to
dig
out
right,
like
that's,
probably
a
real
thing,
but
at
the
same
time,
I
also
saw
things
where
there
were
bike
lanes
that
were
completely
inaccessible.
Three
four
or
five
six
days
after
snowstorms
on
major
transit
routes
that
we're
very
frustrating
I'll,
say
I'm,
someone
who
gets
around
a
lot
by
walking
so
I'll
talk
about
corner
clearing,
I
think
that's
a
very,
very
important
thing
in
the
report.
I
Right
now,
corner
clearing
is
listed
as
something
that
commences
after
the
snow
emergency.
So
that
means
we're
waiting
three
days
before
that
process
even
starts
now.
I
understand
why
you
don't
want
to
do
it
before
snow
is
getting
piled
on.
You
know
back
on
the
work
that
you're
doing,
but
at
some
level
I
mean
I.
Just
cannot
tell
you
how
many
big
mounds
of
snow
I
had
to
climb
over
to
get
to
work
and
I
know.
There's
that's
only
going
to
be
possible
for
some
people.
I
I
Transits
I
think
is
another
area
where
I
was
interested
to
see
that
the
city
of
Madison
takes
responsibility
for
that.
I
think
the
notion
that,
right
now
we
have
three
different
accountable
agencies
between
the
bench
providers
and
transit
in
the
city.
I
think
is
completely
evidenced
in
the
inconsistency
of
the
way
bus
stops,
are
treated
and,
and
it's
really
frustrating
for
for
bus
users
to
again
be
trying
to
figure
out
which
snow
pile
do
I
climb
over
to
get
to
the
bus.
I
That's
something
that
we
really
want
to
see
managed
in
a
different
way
and
and
if
we
need
to
negotiate
something
Metro
transit
so
that
we
take
responsibility
for
it
or
or
delegate
responsibility
to
them
or
whatever
needs
to
happen.
I
just
I'd
be
very
supportive
of
a
recommendation
that
says
like
somebody's
going
to
own
this
and
we're
gonna
figure
out
a
way
to
make
that
happen.
I
also
wanted
to
circle
back
mr.
dirt.
I
All
too
you
mentioned
the
snow
melt,
the
the
novel
cycle,
sort
of
and
I'm
wondering
about
that,
because
I'm
not
even
clear
an
ordinance
whose
responsibility
that
is
you
mentioned,
like
social
media
reminders.
That's
like
a
reminder
to
who:
what
is
a
property
owners
responsibility
if
two
weeks
after
snowfall,
a
lot
of
snow
melts
onto
the
sidewalk
and
then
it
freezes
and
every
sidewalk
is
icy.
Do
we
even
have
a
plan
to
do
something
about
that?
Is
that
something
that
is
addressed
by
by
any
of
our
plans
and
what
people
know?
B
Mr.
chair
councilmember
Fletcher,
thank
you
for
the
question.
I'll
take
a
shot
at
that
and
then
look
to
Mike
Kennedy
make
sure
I
get
it
right.
I
believe
it's
the
property
owners
responsibility
to
maintain
the
sidewalk
clear
of
snow
nice
year-round,
and
so
the
responsibility
would
still
fall
on
the
property
owner
I'm
also
aware
of
times
where,
if
the
freeze-thaw
cycle
is
particularly
bad,
we
may
our
inspectors
may
issue
sand
orders
instead
of
clearing
it.
B
B
J
J
That
the
responsibility
is
still
the
property
owners
in
and,
like
mr.
Darrell
said,
the
city
does
provide
sand
to
residents
when
we
know
that
it
is
difficult
for
them
to
get
all
of
the
ice
out
of
the
way
in
order
to
at
least
provide
a
little
bit
of
a
grate
in
order
to
reduce
the
slipperiness
of
that
sidewalk.
So
that's.
I
Great,
so
thank
you
for
your
answers
to
that
and
thanks
for
the
time
to
respond
to
this
you're,
asking
all
the
right
questions.
So,
let's
make
sure
we
keep
asking
them
and
ask
them
with
urgency,
I'm
supportive
of
the
staff
direction,
because
I
think
it
asks
us
to
to
do
that
and
to
start
to
put
some
costs
on
this,
so
that
we
can
have
a
really.
What
are
we
going
to
do?
I
Kind
of
conversation
and
I
just
want
to
really
say
it
is
my
expectation
and
is
something
that
I
really
want
to
support
and
figure
out
how
to
make
happen
that
this
coming
winter
goes
better
than
this
last
one
or
do
it,
and
let's
make
sure
that
we
aren't
pushing
solutions
that
are
three
years
off.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
actually
getting
better
this
winter
and
I'm.
Looking
to
you
all
to
let
us
know
how
we
can
support
that
work.
Thank
you.
Thank.
H
You
mr.
chair
and
thanks
for
allowing
the
time
for
this
discussion,
as
we
have
all
noted,
we
get
a
lot
of
questions
and
concerns
about
this
from
constituents.
I
do
want
to
say
that
we
also
get
questions
and
concerns
about
street
plowing,
and
we
hear
frustration
from
folks
that
were
not
moving
fast
enough
on
that,
or
even
that
were
that
were
have
that
the
tow
trucks
are
coming
to
aggressively
or
not
aggressively
enough,
and
so
it's
just
winter
is
just
hard
and
we
I
know
we
are
all
doing
our
best
to
get
through
the
season.
H
It
feels
to
me
that
it's,
it
seems
important
to
separate
out
the
bicycle
network
from
the
pedestrian
network,
because
they're
really
different,
and
so
on
the
on
the
bicycle
network
side.
It
seems
to
me
that
we're
in
pretty
good
shape,
we
have
the
equipment
that
we
need
to
plow
the
special
facilities
that
we're
building
and
we
have
a
plan
that
we're
considering
to
do
a
priority
network,
which
seems
to
me
like
a
great
idea.
Is
there
any
reason
that
those
kinds
of
improvements
couldn't
be
ready
for
the
next
winter
season?
H
J
Mr.
chair
council,
member
bender,
we
agree
with
you.
We
do
do
that
today.
I
think
the
the
key
is
really
to
all
of
this.
Like
you've
all
mentioned
is
communication,
and
so
I
think
it's.
How
do
we
tell
people
what
we're
doing
in
the
time
frame
that
we're
doing
it
and
I
think
that's
where
we
can
improve
the
most
and
we
do
have.
We
know
where
we're
going.
So,
let's
tell
them
what
a.
H
I
mean
just
to
appreciate
that
very
much
and
I
think
I.
Think
you'll
find
a
lot
of
support
in
the
council
to
find
the
resources
that
we
need
to
make
sure
that
our
bicycle
and
pedestrian
network
systems
are
working
well
in
the
winter.
So
I
hope
that
we
can
see
that
as
we're
considering
this
upcoming
budget,
so
that
again
we're
ready
for
next
season.
For
the
bicycle
side,
on
the
pedestrian
side,
it
seems
a
lot
more
complex
to
me
and
I've
talked
with
you
director
and,
and
you
mr.
H
H
It
would
likely
take
us
many
days
to
do
that,
so
we
may
not
actually
see
improvement
on
the
street
for
pedestrians,
which
is
our
intention.
So
on
the
one
hand,
when
I
got
constituents
say
to
me
the
city
plows,
the
street,
this
happened:
I
have
a
disabled
child.
My
cousin
was
telling
me
who
isn't
able
to
get
to
the
bus.
We
chose
to
live
in
this
part
of
town
because
we
are
dependent
on
the
bus
to
get
him
around.
We
need
the
sidewalks
cleared.
Why
aren't
you
doing
more?
H
I
mean
we
hear
a
lot
of
compelling
stories
like
that,
and
we
know
we
need
to
do
better,
but
at
the
same
time,
the
city
taking
on
responsibility
for
clearing
all
of
the
sidewalks
and
the
city
might
not
actually
get
us
to
a
better
condition
on
the
streets.
So
I
appreciate
that
and
I
also
appreciate
the
way
that
you're,
taking
kind
of
multiple
aprende
approach
to
figuring
out
how
we
get
to
that
condition,
which
is
ideally
sidewalks,
clear
and
passable
for
everyone
as
quickly
as
possible.
H
And
so
right
now
our
rule
says
that
the
property
owner
needs
to
do
that
within
24
hours,
which
is
faster
again
than
a
lot
of
the
cities
that
are
plowing
sidewalks,
as
the
city
itself.
Obviously
we're
having
a
lot
of
problems
with
compliance
and
enforcement,
and
so
that's
where
I
think
again,
in
the
spirit
of
trying
to
get
to
improvement
winter
over
by
winter.
I'm.
Just
wondering
what
you
think
on
the
pedestrian
side
is
realistic
for
us
to
start
thinking
about
for
this
coming
winter,
and
it
sounds
to
me
like
it's
again.
H
This
idea
of
looking
at
a
priority
network
and
understanding
how
we
can
start
to
see
where
the
city
might
have
more
aggressive
inspections,
a
priority
network
or
where
we
might
as
a
city
or
in
partnership
with
our
business
associations,
start
to
take
all
more
of
that
responsibility,
but
likely
not
citywide
likely
on
this
kind
of
identified
network
of
priority
corridors.
Does
that
sound
like
what
I'm
hearing
from
the
report
and
where
you're
going.
D
D
There's
no
doubt
in
my
mind-
and
this
is
true
of
staff-
that
one
of
the
root
issues
that
we
are
seeing
is
that
we
are
reliant
on
a
complaint
driven
process
where
my
neighbors
must
tell
on
each
other
I
believe
strongly
that
we
are
only
getting
a
fraction
brought
to
our
attention
and
that
there
are
many
many
many
other
sidewalks
that
are
left
unclear,
because
people
don't
want
to
tell
on
their
neighbors.
So
the
first
thing
that
we
are
interested
in
doing
because
we
can
do
it
quickly.
D
This
winter
is
piloting,
proactive
inspection
and
instead
of
relying
on
neighbors
telling
on
neighbors
that
we
look
and
see
where
the
violations
are.
I
believe
that
this
is
a
very
fast
I,
don't
want
to
say
easy,
because
everything
takes
a
lot
of
work
but
doable
pilot
for
this
year
that,
as
we're
working
on
these
much
bigger
picture
items
that
we
know
you
care
about,
and
we
will
return
to
you
with
more
information.
We
will
gear
up
for
a
pilot.
D
We
think
we
can
handle
that
we'll
start
to
address
the
root
problem
and
then,
at
the
same
time
we
are
going
to
be
discussing
priority
networks,
the
criteria
by
which
they
are
selected,
which
the
pack
has
given
us
a
running
head
start
on,
and
you
will
be
receiving
more
in
from
information
on
that
as
well.
But
the
very
first
thing
we
really
want
to
do
communicate
better
start.
Another
pilot
this
year,
that's
focused
on
proactive
inspection
and
try
and
match
people
who
need
assistance
with
those
who
can
provide
assistance.
A
L
L
Isn't
it
because
somebody's
asked
a
flaw
or
somebody
doesn't
care,
it's
an
issue
of
capacity,
and
there
was
I
think
there
was
a
day
when
we
said
to
take
care
of
your
own
garbage
and
haul
it
off
and
dump
it
somewhere
right,
and
we
thought
everybody
should
be
able
to
handle
that.
And
then
then
it
got
to
be
this
capacity
issue
and
people
couldn't
really
do
that
in
a
competent
responsible
way,
because
they
didn't
have
the
capacity
they
didn't
understand
it,
and
so
we
looked
at
well.
L
I
Thank
you.
Mister
chair,
I
appreciate
the
recognition
of
communication
as
a
part
of
this
I,
don't
say:
I
got
one
I
think
really
interesting
piece
of
feedback
from
a
constituent
that
I'll
share,
which
is
that
in
our
communication
about
snow
emergencies
and
in
all
of
our
graphics,
about
snow
emergencies
and
in
all
of
the
ways
that
we
talk
about
snow
emergencies,
we
only
talk
about
cars.
I
A
snow
emergency
in
terms
of
our
constituent
communication
is
telling
people
where
to
park
and
I
think
it'll
go
a
long
ways
towards
helping
people
understand
the
complete
system.
If,
if
our
snow,
emergency
communication
is
giving
guidance
to
bicyclists
and
pedestrians
about
where
we're
at
in
the
process,
what
happens
on
day,
one
of
a
snow
emergency
for
every
mode
of
transit?
And
we
make
that
a
part
of
our
communication
that
the
city's
constantly
recognized
the
ways
that
were
were
a
multi-modal
city,
I
think,
would
be
a
huge
help.
A
I
think
all
these
suggestions
are
well
taken
and
give
good
advice
and
direction
to
the
work.
That's
before
us
and
I
think
it's
pretty
clear
that
this
is
a
big
deal.
I
mean
that
that
is
just
fundamental
to
our.
You
know:
civic
functionality.
We've
got
to
get
this
one
right
and
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
we're
going
forth
forthrightly
there's
an
iterative
component
to
it.
A
H
You
chair
I
kind
of
I'm
I
wanted
to
mention
this
earlier
during
the
presentation
on
Complete,
Streets
and
I,
just
want
to
say
I'm
going
to
thank
you
for
your
leadership
on
these
issues
when
I
think
back
to
four
years
ago.
We
have
come
so
far
and
I
think
there
are
three
or
four
big
reasons
for
that
number
one.
We
created
this
transportation
planning
division
of
the
city,
that's
leading
all
of
this
work
and
it
is
making
a
huge
difference
in
how
we're
planning
and
designing
our
streets.
H
We
really
mean
it
that
every
time
we
look
at
our
roadway,
we
want
to
think
about
all
users
and
emphasize
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety
and
transit
efficiency.
That's
making
a
huge
difference
when
we
see
the
pictures
of
all
these
amazing
amazing
projects
that
we
are
getting
built.
That's
policy
direction
that
this
council
took
and
forth
I
just
think
our
staff
is
doing
an
incredible
job
and
we've
asked
so
much
of
you
and
we're
asking
more
and
more,
and
we
we
see
how
hard
you're
working
and
appreciate
it
so
much.
Thank
you.
Mr.
chair.
A
D
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I
am
very
happy
to
share
with
you
in
support
of
2018
Public
Works
week.
We
are
asking
for
the
passage
of
a
resolution,
but
first
we
want
to
show
you
a
few
videos
that
highlight
some
of
our
work
of
the
department.
These
were
produced
by
pin
Brown
communications
and
by
Patti
day
the
communications
and
outreach
coordinator
for
public
works.
Yet
these
videos
exemplify
why
we
celebrate
public
works
week.
We
are
about
a
thousand
employees
strong
in
Public
Works,
and
we
perform
services
citywide.
D
We
do
it
with
pride
and
we
always
do
it
because
we
feel
strongly
about
making
Minneapolis
better.
Do
it
through
collaborating
responding
and
improving
the
conditions
around
us.
We
are
so
really
every
time
we
get
one
of
these
videos.
There's
this
amazing
buzz
all
over
public
works
about
how
great
it
is
and
how
it
really
tells
our
story.
So
in
support
of
Public
Works
week,
we'd
love
to
show
you
these
three
videos.
M
Miss
Katrina
Kessler
I'm,
the
director
of
the
surface
water
and
sewers
within
the
Department
of
getting
works
for
the
city
of
Minneapolis.
We
are
in
the
storm
tunnel,
80
feet
below
the
ground
surface.
We
have
a
system
of
six
hundred
miles
of
storm
pipes,
many
of
which
drain
too
deep
storm
tunnels
like
the
one
we're
in
many
of
the
tunnels,
are
too
small
and
so
we're
making
them
larger
and,
at
the
same
time,
making
sure
that
the
tunnels
are
structurally
sound.
N
Hi,
my
name
is
Nick
bounce
and
I'm
a
blacksmith
at
the
water
Eastside
yard.
They
let
it
get
warm
enough,
so
I
could
make
the
cut
I'll
make
all
the
tools
and
parts
that
can't
be
bought
for
the
jobs
that
we
do
here
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
Water
Works,
some
people
think
of
a
blacksmith
as
a
person
that
puts
horseshoes
on
horses.
That's
a
farrier
there
comes,
there
goes.
A
blacksmith
is
one
that
creates
tools
out
of
hire.
D
A
C
A
This
times
where
he
had
nice
sounding
music
to
take
care
of
the
dead
time.
A
Construction
are
vitally
dependent
upon
the
efforts
and
the
skill
of
the
Public
Works
officials,
whereas
the
efficiency
of
the
qualified,
dedicated
personnel
who
staff
the
public
works
departments
is
materially
influenced
by
the
people's
attitudes
and
understanding
of
the
importance
of
the
work
they
perform.
Now,
therefore
be
resolved
at
the
City
Council
of
the
city,
Minneapolis
that
we
acknowledge
the
significant
daily
contribution
that
employees
within
the
Public
Works
Department
of
the
City
Minneapolis
provide
to
the
citizens
and
businesses
throughout
the
city
during
this
National
Public
Works
week.
I
guess
this
is
a
big
long.
