A
B
C
Chair
members
of
the
committee
again
I'm
Mike
Kennedy
Inman,
director
of
our
transportation,
maintenance,
repair
division
and
Public
Works
Public
Works,
completed
its
annual
inspection
and
repair
of
public
sidewalks
in
2018
property
owners
had
the
option
of
contracting
for
the
repairs
themselves
or
allowing
the
city
to
complete
the
work
and
be
billed
or
assessed
for
that
work.
For
those
choosing
the
latter.
This
action
is
to
proceed
with
the
process
for
collecting
those
assessments.
C
In
2018
we
had
1543
properties
that
were
had
work
done
on
their
sidewalks.
All
property
owners
receive
a
bill
for
the
completed
work
if
the
property
owner
did
not
pay
the
bill,
the
cost
of
the
work
and
will
be
listed
on
the
assessment,
roll
and
assessed
to
the
property
taxes
as
a
special
assessment
on
their
20/20
taxes.
C
If
the
property
owner
chooses
to
contest
the
cost
of
the
work,
they
had
the
opportunity
to
appear
at
appeal
at
administrative
hearing
in
front
of
our
administrative
hearing
officer
that
occurred
on
June
18th,
and
we
had
seven
people
submit
appeals,
but
none
of
them
actually
appeared
if
the
property
owner
is
satisfied
with
the
determination
of
the
administrating.
Here,
administrative
hearing
officer,
no
further
action
is
necessary
if
the
property
owner
chooses
to
contest
the
administrative
hearing
officers.
Determination,
nay,
may
elect
to
appeal
at
the
public
hearing
at
this
committee
today.
C
If
they
are
not
satisfied
with
a
decision
of
the
committee,
they
may
then
appeal
to
district
court.
A
list
of
properties
and
charges
to
be
assessed
is
attached
with
the
report
the
amount
to
be
assessed.
A
special
assessment
principal
is
the
cost
of
the
work
plus
the
sidewalk
overhead
charge,
the
sidewalk
overhead
charges,
10%
of
the
cost
of
the
work
with
a
cap
of
$50,
the
total
principal
amount
and
proposed
assessments
on
the
list
of
property
properties
to
be
assessed.
C
So
today
our
recommendation
is
passed
for
resolution
adopting
and
loving
assessments
and
adopting
assessment
role
in
the
amount
stated
earlier
for
the
sidewalk
repair
in
construction
for
the
to
2018
construction
season
on
the
list
of
property
owners
properties
date
of
July,
1st
2019.
So
that's
my
presentation.
If
there
are
any
questions,
I'd
be
happy
to
take
those,
and
we
have
staff
here.
If
there
are
other
questions,
we
are
not
aware
that
anybody,
we
were
not
notified,
that
anybody
was
going
to
appear
today.
Thank.
A
You
are
there
any
questions
for
the
staff
heard
the
presentation
seeing
none
I
will
then
open
the
public
hearing.
Anyone
signed
in
anyone
wish
to
come
forward.
Anyone
wish
to
come
forward,
seeing
no
one
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
if
there's
no
further
discussion
move,
the
item
has
submitted
and
described
by
staff,
all
in
favor
say:
aye
I
dissent,
a
name
that
carries,
and
we
can
now
go
to
the
discussion
item
director
Hutchinson
mr.
B
Chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
pleased
to
introduce
this
next
discussion
item
it's
receiving
and
filing
of
the
your
city,
your
streets,
2018
progress
report.
In
past
years,
we've
presented
to
you
our
accomplishments,
with
the
funds
that
have
been
granted
for
our
work
on
streets.
As
part
of
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan
this
year,
we
have
chosen
to
provide
additional
information
in
order
to
take
a
bit
of
a
pause
work
collaboratively
when
it's
the
finance
department
and
do
some
back
casting,
as
well
as
forecasting
on
our
programming
of
the
funds.
B
So
today
we
have
a
two-part
presentation,
one
that
explains
our
programming
and
the
second
part
that
explains
our
accomplishments.
I'm,
going
to
introduce
Jenny
Hager,
the
director
of
transportation
planning
to
begin
the
presentation.
Others
from
transportation
planning
are
also
here
to
assist
good.
D
Morning,
good
morning,
mr.
chair
committee,
members,
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
this
morning.
My
name
is
Jennifer
Hager
I'm,
the
director
of
transportation,
planning
and
programming.
Today
we
have
our
annual
report
back
to
you
on
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan
work
which
we
call
the
your
city,
your
streets,
progress
report.
D
Once
the
ordinance
was
passed,
public
works
worked
quickly
to
develop
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan,
which
defines
the
criteria
based
system
by
which
projects
would
be
selected
for
inclusion
in
the
capital
improvement
program
and
included
a
focus
on
racial
and
economic
equity.
The
criteria
is
shown
here
for
you
again.
We
have
a
set
condition
and
we
have
equity
shown,
including
community
demographics
and
uses
a
mode.
D
We
began
using
this
criteria
with
the
amended
2017
to
2021
CIP
and
we've
been
using
it
ever
since
we've
also
been
providing
for
you
annual
reports
by
reviewing
our
accomplishments
each
year.
We
will
do
that
today,
but
we
also
wanted
to
take
a
deeper
dive
into
our
programming
targets,
so
we
are
about
three
years
into
our
work
on
this
ordinance,
and
this
is
a
good
time
for
a
more
thorough
review
and
analysis.
D
Our
programming
targets
are
set
annually
through
a
simple
formula
of
a
plus
P.
This
is
stipulated
in
the
ordinance
the
ordinance
calls
out
if
this
consists
of
historical
met,
DEP
on
funding
levels.
We'll
call
this
a
plus
the
increased
funding
provided
by
the
streets
funding
plan
will
call
this
B
B
is
a
known
number
described
in
the
ordinance.
It's
20
1.2
million
dollars,
plus
inflation
over
the
course
of
the
ordinance.
D
However,
a
is
a
number
that
was
not
clearly
defined
in
the
ordinance
and
therefore
there
are
different
opinions
and
interpretations
for
what
a
was
intended
to
be
so
Public
Works
is
working
collaboratively
with
the
finance
department
to
clarify
what
the
original
intent
for
what
a
was
meant
to
be.
So,
what
is
a
a
is
a
historical
average
of
Metapod
allocations
to
street,
paving.
D
So
now
I
want
to
show
you
a
series
of
graphs
that
show
a
that
show
B
and
that
show
a
plus
B,
which
is
our
programming
target
with
our
annual
programming.
Since
the
ordinance
took
effect
in
2017,
this
first
chart
shows
backwards,
starting
in
2017
a
is
shown
as
the
black
line.
That's
the
historical
net
dibond
funding
for
street
paving
B
is
shown
as
the
red
dashed
line.
D
That's
the
twenty
one
point
two
million,
and
it
goes
up
because
it's
being
inflated
over
time,
an
A
plus
B,
which
is
our
funding
target,
is
the
green
dashed
line.
The
blue
bars
represent
our
programming
each
year
for
street.
Paving
projects
you
can
see
some
years
are
high.
Some
years
are
low,
but
we
make
up
for
the
low
years
with
the
high
years
and
on
average
we
exceed
our
programming
target.
D
D
And
the
last
two
charts
I
have,
for
you
show
you
the
proposed
CIP,
which
is
under
review
by
clique
and
which
will
be
part
of
what
is
in
the
proposed
budget
before
the
mayor
and
the
council
right
now.
Just
for
your
information
just
to
bring
the
charting
closer
to
a
five-year
look
same
information,
a
black
bar
B
red
dashed
line
funding
target
is
the
green
dashed
line
and
then
putting
the
federal
funding.
On
top
of
that.
D
E
Chair
MS
Hager
I,
want
to
thank
you
for
putting
this
in
such
a
clear
way.
I
had
an
opportunity
to
preview
this
with
you
yesterday
and
I
think
it's
really
important
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
see
to
be
able
to
see
how
we're
making
good
on
these
past
promises
and
ordinance
and
also
to
see
the
thoughtful
work
going
into
the
planning
of
these
projects,
which
take
multiple
years,
which
are
planned
multiple
years
out.
A
question
that
I
had
for
you
yesterday
that
I
wanted
to
ask
you
today
is
about
we
we
did.
E
It
was
called
the
Parkson
roads,
ordinance
or
NPP
20.
What
isn't
considered
in
this
and
something
particularly
important
to
areas
around
the
Grand
Rounds
area,
our
Park
roads.
So
we
did
parks
and
roads,
but
not
Park
roads
and
I
understand
that
in
the
past
few
years
there
has
been
a
new
and
improved
agreement
with
how
we
manage
those
park.
Roads
in
collaboration
with
the
park
board
and
I
was
wondering
if
you
could
just
help
to
highlight
that.
Also
in
touch
on
that,
because
I
know
you
were
able
to
in
private.
D
Thank
You
mr.
chair
councilmember
Palmisano.
Yes,
thank
you
for
the
question.
Parkway's
do
serve
a
role
in
our
overall
transportation
network
and
the
city
has
a
long-standing
commitment
to
contribute
to
the
maintenance
of
the
parkways,
and
that
includes
milling
and
overlaying
of
them
through
our
Parkway,
paving
program
subsequent
to
the
streets
funding
ordinance
and
at
the
request
of
the
Park
Board
Public
Works
did
complete
an
analysis
of
our
park,
ways
similar
to
what
we
completed
of
our
city
street
network
and
we
found
leading
up
to
this.
F
You
mr.
chair
I
think
this
is
a
very
reasonable
approach
and,
of
course,
we
can
always
increase
funding
if
there
are
additional
needs
or
our
problems
identified.
I
wanted
to
ask
before
you
go
into
all
of
these
results
related
to
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety
that
we're
about
to
see.
Could
you
talk
about
or
the
director
whomever
from
the
department
about
how
bicycle
pedestrian
funding
fits
into
this,
because
we
know
that
a
lot
of
those
projects
are
integrated
into
existing
capital
projects?
F
We
know
some
are
standalone,
as
we've
invested
in
our
protected
bike
way
and
standalone
pedestrian
safety
improvements
and
map
that
may
evolve
in
future
budgets
as
well
as
we
look
at
the
transportation
action
plan.
So
I
guess
I
just
said
a
lot,
but
I
wanted
to
see
if
you
could
comment
on
how
we're
funding
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety
and
how
that
shows
up
in
this
budget
as
presented
this
way.
D
Sure
Thank
You
mr.
chair
council,
president
vender,
the
numbers
that
you
see
on
here
are
from
our
first
Street,
paving
and
there's
additional
net
debt
bonds
and
other
funding
sources
in
our
capital
program
that
go
towards
other
asset
needs
and
infrastructure
needs
and
programs.
And
so
these
numbers
do
not
show
the
funding.
That's
going
to
bridges,
traffic
programs,
non-motorized
programs
and
projects,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
D
So
for
non-motorized
projects
and
initiatives
that
are
being
completed
with
street
paving
projects
there
they're
included
in
these
numbers,
but
for
the
standalone
projects
and
programs
that
are
funded
separately.
They're
not
reflected
on
these
charts
they're
in
the
capital
program,
reflected
separately.
B
Mr.
chair
and
council
president
bender
I'll
add
just
a
few
things
to
that.
First
of
all,
it's
just
a
reminder
that
this
is
the
capital
program
as
it's
been
proposed
to
click,
so
there
may
be
changes
that
you
will
see.
As
the
mayor
completes
this
work
to
propose
the
budget.
Just
a
side
note
on
that.
I
also
just
want
to
reflect
the
work
of
the
Complete
Streets
policy
and
ordinance,
which
really
guides
how
every
street
is
rebuilt
and
repaved,
and
we
take
the
opportunity
to
add
pedestrian
and
bicycle
and
transit
improvements.
D
G
Good
morning,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
Nathan
Koster
supervisor
transportation,
planner
in
the
transportation
planning
and
programming
division
of
Public
Works.
Today,
my
part
of
the
presentation
will
focus
on
the
progress
report
and
accomplishments
which
which
will
include
summary
of
individual
projects
and
some
of
the
mileage
and
projects
goals
that
were
accomplished
throughout
2018
before
I
started.
G
So,
although
I'm
here
presenting
I
just
want
to
indicate
that
there's
a
lot
of
people
that
go
into
making
these
projects
that
the
the
residents
and
workers
in
Minneapolis
do
see,
in
addition,
there's
a
lot
of
people.
A
couple
people
in
transportation
planning
I
do
want
to
acknowledge
for
assisting
with
the
presentation,
as
well
as
this
capital
improvement
program.
That
would
be
a
Liz
Heyman,
Abdullahi
Abdullah,
Trey
joiner
and
Anna
Holman
helped
with
the
graphic.
So
there's
a
lot
of
people
went
into
helping
with
this
presentation
today.
G
A
couple
of
things
before
we
start
is
you'll
hear
a
couple
themes
throughout
these
projects
and
accomplishments,
and
that
is
being
geta
driven
looking
at
both
the
condition
of
our
streets,
as
well
as
the
crashes
or
other
analytics
and
statistics
that
help
us
go
into
picking
and
selecting
projects.
Second,
is
partnerships:
we're
working
really
closely
with
MnDOT
and
Hennepin
County
to
work
on
some
of
our
most
challenging
Street
and
make
those
priorities
as
well
as
Metro
transit,
there's
a
number
of
transit
projects
coming
up
that
we
are
working
to
coordinate
early
and
often
seizing
opportunities.
G
There's
a
number
of
these
projects
without
working
with
those
partnerships
that
couldn't
be
a
reality
in
making
sure
we
get
in
early
and
we
minimize
disruptions.
Fourth,
one
is
innovation.
You'll
see
a
lot
of
projects
that
I'm
highlighting
today,
where
we're
trying
new
things
and
seeing
how
they
work
in
our
street
right
away
and
then,
lastly,
it
would
be
equity
and
it's
not
less.
It's
very
forward
and
are
thinking
of
both
our
programming
and
funding
of
projects,
but
also
how
we're
looking
at
the
location
and
how
it
how
we're
delivering
projects
throughout
our
entire
city.
G
So
the
first
area
I
want
to
focus
on
is
the
pedestrian
area
and
you'll
see
slightly
different
statistics
and
accomplishments
than
last
year.
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
accurately
reflecting
the
type
of
projects
that
we're
doing
and
how
we're
summarizing
them.
First,
I'll
start
with
the
curb
extensions
or
bump
outs.
There
was
132
bump
outs
installed
in
2018.
G
Most
of
these
are
through
reconstruction
projects,
as
we
have
a
chance
to
really
real
cat.
What
the
right-of-way
is
so
we're
gaining
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
add
those
bump
outs,
but
I
would
like
to
call
that
a
number
of
bump
outs
are
also
being
added
with
our
traffic
products.
Now
as
we're
rebuilding
our
signals,
the
second
one
is
three
miles
of
sidewalk
gaps.
G
2018
was
a
really
big
year
for
adding
to
our
sidewalk
Network
three
miles
of
gaps,
particularly
an
area
that
have
concentrations
of
employment
that
are
allowing
people
to
have
access
to
jobs
throughout
the
city
we
added
three
street
lighting
corridors.
These
were
along
Emerson,
Avenue,
North,
Fremont,
Avenue,
north
and
33rd
Avenue
North,
the
other
one
is
now
we're
tracking
our
ability
to
do
safety.
G
Most
of
these
were
achieved
with
our
paving
programs,
but
these
also
include
ramps
accomplished
by
our
80,
a
ramp
retrofit
program
that
I'll
be
highlighting
later,
as
well
as
projects
with
traffic,
our
utilities,
as
well
as
partner
agencies
such
as
Hennepin
County
MnDOT
and
our
private
utilities.
So
this
is
up
by
about
a
hundred
ramps
as
compared
to
last
year,
so
479
this
past
year
now
I'll
be
highlighting
a
number
of
individual
projects.
This
one
is
in
the
pedestrian
safety
program.
G
This
is
on
six
streets
in
the
Cedar
Riverside
neighborhood
we
built
two
mid-block
pedestrian
bump-outs.
This
is
an
area
closer
to
the
Green
Line
LR.
Excuse
me
blue
line
LRT
station,
as
well
as
the
Hiawatha
trail.
This
provides
better
sight
lines,
an
area
where
there's
a
lot
of
demand
for
both
people
walking
access
to
transit.
Well,
also,
a
lot
of
parking
really
helps
increase.
The
visibility
of
people
crossing
the
street
second
project
was
5th
Street
northeast.
This
is
near
school
and
along
a
bike
route.
G
The
next
project
I'd
like
to
highlight
is
our
sidewalk
gap
project
on
Chicago
AB.
This
was
our
first
year
doing
the
sidewalk
gap
program
and
the
project
that
was
selected
with
Chicago
lab.
This
is
between
the
blocks
of
44th
and
46.
This
is
a
long
existing
high
frequency
transit
route
well
along
a
route.
That's
planned
for
the
D
line
adjacent
to
a
station,
so
providing
connectivity
to
existing
high
frequency
transit
as
well
as
collaborating
advanced
with
Metro
Transit
I'm,
filling
a
sidewalk
out
near
future
D
Line
station.
G
The
next
photo
is
an
example
of
our
ad
a
ramp
replacement
program.
This
is
at
44th
and
Upton
Avenue
north
near
Loring,
elementary
school
and
then
I'll
be
highlighting
a
series
of
Safe
Routes
projects
that
were
accomplished
in
2018.
This
one
happens
to
be
near
Southwest,
High
School
at
the
intersection
of
Xerxes,
south
and
47th
Street
West.
G
Another
project
that
we
were
able
to
accomplish
are
finished
up
last
year
was
with
our
Anderson
safe
routes
to
school
project.
This
implemented
a
two-way
off
street
trail
on
28th
Street
East
that
allows
students
then
to
access,
have
access
to
the
school
from
the
nearby
Midtown
Greenway,
along
with
connections
to
our
Jason
or
self
bike.
Boulevards.
G
G
G
So
with
that
being
said,
I
do
want
to
call
out
some
of
the
statistics
and
our
accomplishments
is
this.
Past
year
we
had
seven
point
four
miles
of
new
protected
bikeways.
We
had
five
point
two
miles
of
either
upgraded
or
new
bicycle
facilities
and
of
that
about
20
percent,
so
about
2.6
miles
was
in
areas
of
our
ECP
50
areas
throughout
the
city.
G
So
this
slide
just
highlights
a
geographic
distribution
of
some
of
her
bicycle
cities,
our
bicycle
facilities
that
were
accomplished
in
2018.
It
was
a
pretty
big
year,
especially
for
a
protected
bikeways
and
overall,
within
the
snapshot
of
how
we're
doing
is
a
city
where
about
250
miles
and
as
it
relates
to
our
protected
bikeways.
G
At
the
end
of
2018,
we
have
25
miles
of
protected
bikeways
and,
as
some
of
you
may
recall,
from
our
climate
action
plan,
our
goal
is
to
meet
or
exceed
30
miles
of
protected
bikeways
by
2020
and
I,
know
I'm,
focusing
on
2018,
but
we're
in
the
midst
of
2019.
In
our
construction
and
at
the
end
of
2019,
we
will
have
30
2.2
miles
of
protected
bikeways.
So
not
only
we
met
that,
but
we
have
exceeded
it
and
your
earlier.
G
Something
a
little
bit
newer.
That
we've
been
collaborating
with
our
traffic
staff
on
is
what
we're
calling
opportunity,
safety
projects
and,
in
certain
cases
these
are
more
restriping
into
doing
short
gap
improvements
and
bike
projects
throughout
the
city.
We
probably
did
about
three
or
four
these
last
year.
G
G
On
the
theme
of
innovation,
this
is
also
stretch
of
bike
way
that
had
previously
been
a
four
lane,
undivided
Street.
Then
it
got
converted
to
a
three
lane
with
bike
lanes
and
then
during
the
resurfacing
project,
we
were
able
to
continue,
evaluate
and
look
at
what
bike
way.
Improvements
could
be
implemented,
and
this
extends
the
protected
bike
way
that
had
initially
been
over
the
river.
G
This
next
project
is
along
Emerson
and
Fremont.
Ab
North
the
city,
received
a
grant,
a
federal
grant
for
this
project
and
I
just
like
to
call
it
highlight
that,
although
this
has
been
identified
as
a
protected
bike
way
project,
these
quarters
in
North
Minneapolis
had
some
of
the
highest
rate
of
pedestrian
crashes
in
the
entire
city,
and
they
were
very.
G
Difficult
crossings
for
people
walking
there
were
a
number
of
schools
and
parks
in
the
neighborhood,
and
you
had
two
lane
one-way
streets
where
residents
had
communicated
that
there
was
a
lot
of
challenges
crossing
these
barriers.
So
not
only
were
we
able
to
implement
protected
bikeways,
but
we
were
able
to
integrate
pedestrian
crossing
improvements
in
advance
of
the
d-line
work
that
we're
working
with
Metro,
Transit,
so
reorganizing
the
space
for
future
high
frequency
transit,
while
making
it
easier
to
cross
the
street
for
people
walking
and
implementing
protected
bikeways.
G
The
next
one
is
Industrial
Boulevard.
This
is
a
protected
bike
way
trail
facility.
We
were
approached
by
MnDOT,
who
had
some
maintenance
work
along
the
freeway
and
some
of
the
ADA,
a
ramp
upgrades
and
looking
their
plans,
as
well
as
the
vision
with
the
park
board.
We're
able
to
coordinate
across
multiple
agencies
to
start
filling
the
gap
of
the
Grand
Rounds
in
Northeast
Minneapolis.
G
Next
project
I
think
a
lot
of
people
are
familiar
with,
but
Samet
our
crossing
project
was
completed
and
had
its
groundbreaking.
This
past
year,
repurposing
a
old
freeway
rate,
freeway
off-ramp
into
a
multi-purpose
trail
connecting
a
major
barrier
between
the
Cedar,
Riverside,
neighborhood
and
downtown
Minneapolis.
G
Next
project
a
protected
bikeways
program:
this
is
12th
Street
East.
This
is
filling
an
ostrich
trail
gap
as
a
part
of
a
longer-term
vision
between
connecting
residents
to
neighborhoods
near
and
close
to
downtown
South
to
downtown
into
the
downtown
area.
So
this
is
more
of
a
first
phase
and
getting
that
started
and
we
were
able
to
work
early.
So
we
could
be
collaborating
with
a
much
larger
project
on
35w,
so
construction
activities
were
staged
appropriately.
G
This
next
project
11th
day
of
South,
if
this
was
looking
at
a
upgrade
of
an
existing
facility,
this
had
been
one
of
our
first
protected
bikeways
and
it
had
implemented
some
parking
protected.
But
in
addition
to
looking
at
an
upgrade
through
the
engagement
process,
we
heard
a
lot
from
the
residents.
It
was
more
about
reorganizing
the
street
Street
and
making
it
safer
for
a
lot
of
the
increased
density
and
residents
in
the
area.
G
So
by
working
closely
with
the
ward
office
and
the
neighborhood's
we're
able
to
integrate
a
lot
of
elements
of
pedestrian
safety
into
this
protected
bike.
Lane
upgrade
project
and
I
would
like
to
call
out
that,
in
addition
to
upgrading
the
facility,
we're
also
looking
at
pilot
treatments
of
a
protected
intersection
at
11,000.
Second,
as
well
as
some
new
innovative
parking
protected
treatments
in
your
gold-medal
Park
we're
looking
at
access
and
accessibility
for
a
DA
compliancy
near
the
park.
G
So
the
next
year,
I
want
to
focus
on
is
streets
and
the
first
slide
will
kind
of
have
a
little
bit
of
streets
infrastructure
as
well
as
streets
paving
and
I
did
want
to
highlight
some
of
the
work
that's
being
done
by
our
Traffic
Division,
and
this
includes
a
number
of
our
signal
projects.
So
this
past
year
they
had
27
signal
upgrades,
and
this
includes
88
ramps
as
well
as
ApS
signals
and,
as
I
said,
a
lot
of
our
traffic
signal
projects
are
including
bond
pollicis
standard
treatments
as
a
part
of
their
projects.
G
Now,
similarly,
we
had
31
intersections
at
signals
that
were
upgraded
for
TSP.
Tsp
is
transit
signal
priority.
This
is
another
example
working
closely
with
Metro
transit
on
upcoming
and
planned
BRT
routes,
we're
able
to
work
with
them
on
the
Penn
Ave
corridor
for
the
C
Line
to
upgrade
those
signals
for
TSP,
as
well
as
looking
into
the
future,
with
the
D
line.
Upgrading
signals,
long
Emerson,
Fremont
Avenue
earth
as
well
as
Chicago
itself,
so
that
the
signals
are
ready
for
TSP
both
of
our
existing
high
frequency
transit,
but
also
looking
forward
to
those
BRT
routes.
G
Some
work
specifically
to
paving
I
want
to
call
out
three
areas
that
would
really
focus
on
where
most
of
our
work
occurs
and
that's
a
street
resurfacing.
So
that's
more
of
the
mill
and
overlay
of
the
streets,
conquering
rehab,
a
newer
program
and
our
second
year,
as
well
as
our
traditional
Street
reconstruction.
So
the
all
these
numbers
fall
within
our
typical
ranges
that
we
see
for
these
programs
Street
you're
surfacing.
We
try
to
get
about
25
to
30
miles
a
year.
So
last
year
was
right
within
that
range
of
26.7.
G
Of
that
there
is
18
miles
in
HCP
50
areas.
Last
year,
as
I
said,
it
was
a
continuation
of
canker
rehab.
We
were
in
year
two
of
the
weight
Park
neighborhood
in
Northeast
Minneapolis
and
then
forced
reconstruction,
which
I'll
be
highlighting
those
project
individually.
But
we
had
about
four
point
four
miles
of
street
construction,
of
which
one
point
six
miles
were
in
ACP
50
areas.
G
G
G
The
third
project
is
a
really
good
example
of
where
we're
able
to
leverage
those
federal
funds.
Broadway
Street,
had
been
a
four
lane
undivided.
Now
it's
a
two-way
with
the
center
turn
lane
addressing
sidewalk
gaps,
as
well
as
adding
a
trail
to
help
with
those
multimodal
connections
linking
into
our
plans
for
the
grand
round
missing
link,
as
well
as
other
trails
in
Northeast.
G
Next
project
is
Hennepin
Avenue
south
this
was
from
lake
236.
This
was
a
street
that
had
sidewalk
back
a
curb,
and
this
project
is
able
to
add
boulevards,
widened,
sidewalks
and
areas
and
add
a
bike
lane
next
project
is
28
that
self,
so
this
is
basically
from
trunk
highway,
62
crosstown
highway
down
to
roughly
the
airport
access
point
on
the
very
south
end
of
Minneapolis,
and
the
last
project
I
want
to
highlight
is
mid-city
industrial.
G
This
will
be
a
Multi
multi
a
year
phased
project
in
the
mid-city
industrial
neighborhood,
creative
title
name
for
the
project,
but
this
will
be
about
a
little
over
two
miles
of
streets
in
an
industrial
area,
and
the
one
thing
I'd
highlight
is
a
lot
of
these
streets
were
built
in
era
when
the
sidewalks
weren't
constructed.
So
this
project
is
going
to
add
significant
amount
of
sidewalks
to
increase
access
for
people
walking
or
taking
transit
to
access
these
job
centers.
So
this
is
a
pretty
important
project
in
that
area
of
Northeast.
G
H
Thank
You
chair
and
thanks
for
this
presentation,
this
is
such
good
work.
Cannell
just
say
people
love
it.
People
love
seeing
these
changes.
I
know
how
much
work
went
into,
for
example,
the
intersection
at
11th,
and
there
is
so
much
positive
change
happening
and
it
is
creating
it
demand
for
more
is
it
is
creating
a
demand
for
people
to
look
for
even
faster
change
and
to
recognize
hey.
This
happened
in
that
neighborhood
I
want
to
see
it
happen
at
this
neighborhood
I
can
see
where
it
would
be
helpful,
so
you're
showing
a
successful
proof-of-concept.
H
That's
that's!
Creating
a
lot
of
demand
and
I'm
often
gonna,
be
the
voice
of
that
demand.
So
just
like
kind
of
be
ready
that
we
want
a
lot
more
of
what
you're
doing
the
other
thing
that
I'll
say
is,
and
it
it
kind
of
breaks
my
heart
to
point
this
out,
but
but
11th
Avenue,
which
is
such
a
successful
project
in
general
for
a
lack
of
a
little
bit
of
signage
and
education
to
help
people
understand
the
change,
even
in
the
picture
that
you
showed
here
of
it.
H
There's
a
car
parked
in
the
bike
lane
and
the
background
getting
across
Washington,
and
it
kills
me
because
it
happens
every
day
and
it
almost
erases
the
value
of
the
of
the
bike
lane,
if
there's
cars
in
it-
and
we
just
need
to
explain
to
people
better
how
this
works,
because
people
constantly
Park
in
it
I
live
on
that
block,
so
I
know
I,
see
it
every
day
and
I
see
that
it's
a
coin
toss
every
time.
I
walk
out
of
my
apartment,
whether
I'm
gonna
see
a
car.
H
In
the
background,
it's
really
like
5050,
so
I
would
encourage
you
and
I
been
something.
We've
talked
about
and
I
want
to
keep
talking
about
it,
that
signage
and
kind
of
user
education
and
when
you're,
making
these
changes
that
change
what
the
streets
feel
like
and
how
they
operate
and
how
people
are
supposed
to
use
them.
We
have
to
help
drivers
understand
how
they're
supposed
to
use
these
streets
as
a
part
of
the
budget
for
these
projects
and
as
a
part
of
the
plan
for
these
projects,
or
it
really
undermines
their
effectiveness.
H
So
I
just
want
to
make
sure
signage
is
a
part
of
the
plan
for
every
single
one
of
these,
like
that
that
come
out
I
think
we
get
a
lot
of
feedback
about
it
and
partially
it's
because
people
can
see
the
potential
how
good
these
streets
are.
If
they're
used
the
way
they're
intended
to
be,
and
so
I
really
just
need
your
help
in
helping
people
understand
how
to
use
the
new
streets
that
you're
designing
for
us.
F
F
We
added
a
significant
amount
of
funding
with
a
new
policy
directive
from
the
council
at
the
same
time,
around
the
same
time
and
the
department
embraced
it
and
I
know
how
hard
staff
has
been
working
to
get
all
these
projects
through
to
plan
them
to
design
them
to
do
a
commune
gage
made
to
build
support
and
also
to
adjust
when
we
need
to
so
it's
like
seen
and
appreciated
how
much
work
you're
doing
above
and
beyond
what
you
were
doing
a
few
years
ago.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
F
I
also
get
a
lot
of
complaints
about
cars
parked
in
the
bike
lane
and
I
appreciate.
I
know
you
guys
are
looking
at
specific
places
where
this
is
happening.
In
my
word,
it's
Hennepin
Avenue
between
Lincoln,
1st
and
31st
Street
I,
had
to
take
it
as
a
sign
that
the
community
is
embracing
bicycle
and
pedestrian
infrastructure
and
wants
it
to
work
really
well.
So
I
think,
as
we
continue
to
monitor
these
changes
and
make
improvements,
you
know
I
think
with
all
be
solutions
coming
forward.
F
It
is
how
we
were
able
to
achieve
that
goal,
and
so,
as
we
look
toward
the
transformation
action
plan,
exciting
vision,
I
think
it
will
show
for
our
community
building
on
bicycle
and
pedestrian
safety.
Looking
at
some
of
these
high
crash
intersections,
there
are
a
lot
in
my
ward.
There
are
a
lot
in
places
where
people
rely
on
biking,
walking
in
transit
and
our
vision
for
transit
going
forward.
F
A
Thank
you.
Any
other
comments
for
the
presentation,
see
none
I'll,
just
close
and
I.
Think
council,
president
bender
said
thank
you
17
times,
I'll
make
it
he'll
make
it
18
thanks
ever
so
much
and
both
presentations
were
fantastic,
I,
think
kind
of
extending
on
councilmember
Fletcher's
point.
You
know
the
demand
of
and
what
we
expect
I
think
is
now
greatly
expanded
and
increased.
What
would
have
been
earlier
in
my
career
up
here,
cutting
edge
is
now
becoming
an
under
your
implementation,
the
new
normal
and
it's
pretty
pretty
awesome
to
see
that
transformation.
A
The
department
always
known
deliver
is
now
delivering
numbers
that
just
are
spectacular,
pretty
incredible
and
the
results,
of
course
deeply
deeply
appreciated
by
our
constituency.
It's
it's
just
very
well,
that's
very,
very
incredible.
As
to
the
first
presentation,
I
think
councilmember
Palmisano
said
it
best
very
well,
very
succinct.
We're
very
well
presented
very
succinct.
It
takes
a
very
complicated
set
of
spreadsheets
and
boils
it
down
into
what
we're
actually
asking
Lisa
V
our
policy
directive
and
I.
Think
that
was
accomplished
rather
well.
A
Actually
I
think
we
put
on
cable
TV
and
we're
permanent
PSA
basis,
because
it's
just
so
succinct,
yeah
I
could
go
on,
but
very
incredible.
Work
very
well
presented
and
we're
very,
very
grateful
for
it.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
then,
with
the
formal
action
before
us,
I
will
move
to
receive
and
file
the
your
city,
your
streets,
2018
progress
report.
Any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
I
dissent,
a
name
that
carries
and
we
are
adjourned.
