the
director
good
morning.
Mr.
mrs.
Hutchinson
good.
B
Morning,
mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee,
this
item
is
being
added
to
today's
agenda
to
be
sensitive
to
the
timeline
of
the
forthcoming
full
funding
grant
agreement
for
the
southwest
light,
rail
transit
project
or
Metro
Green
Line
extension.
It
authorizes
the
staff
to
enter
into
an
amended
construction
agreement
between
three
parties:
the
BNSF,
the
Minnesota
ball
park,
Association
and
the
city.
B
We
have
been
working
on
a
set
of
three
final
agreements
that
the
city
is
a
party
to
two
of
which
have
come
to
you
and
then
passed
through
the
council.
Already.
This
is
the
final
agreement
through
collaborative
discussions
last
week
it
was
determined
that
this
three
party
agreement
is
the
very
best
tool
for
all
parties
and
raises
the
comfort
level
of
all
parties
when
granting
access
to
be
in
sf4
their
maintenance
purposes
across
the
Cedar
Lake
Trail.
B
A
Any
questions
for
any
consent
item
or
the
addendum
that
was
just
described,
see
none.
Then
I
will
move
all
items
that
were
discussed
in
consent,
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
SNT
name
those
items
carry
and
we
can
now
move
to
the
public
hearing
component
of
the
agenda,
beginning
with
item
1
19th
Avenue
South,
4th
Street,
South,
20th,
Avenue,
South,
Street,
resurfacing,
project
approval
and
assessments
director
hutchinson.
Mr.
B
C
Thank
You
director
Hutchison
morning
members,
mr.
chair
and
members
of
the
committee
and
Mike
Kennedy,
and
the
director
of
transportation
maintenance
repair
for
Minneapolis
Public
Works,
we're
here
for
the
public
hearing
for
the
resurfacing
project
of
20th,
4th
and
19th
streets,
downtown
on
January
18th
2019,
the
City
Council
designated
the
location
streets
and
improvements
proposed
to
be
made
in
the
2019
street
resurfacing
program.
A
19th,
Avenue
South
4th
Street,
South
and
20th
Avenue
South
has
shown
on
the
attached
map
who
are
included
in
this
designation
again.
C
The
streets
that
are
included
are
three
short
segments
of
streets.
It's
combination
of
local
streets
and
MSA
streets.
The
PC
is
on
these
streets
range
from
60
to
40,
which
put
them
in
the
and
right
in
the
sweet
spot
for
this
type
of
work.
It's
about
0.5,
about
a
half
a
mile
of
streets
total,
and
it's
proposed
to
be
a
two
inch
mill
and
overlay.
The
project
cost
is
two
hundred
five
thousand
three
hundred
eighty
dollars
of
which
there's
about
ten
thousand
dollars
worth
of
assessments
and
the
University
of
Minnesota
request.
C
We
made
to
the
University
of
Minnesota
for
them
to
contribute
their
share
or
some
of
their
share
towards
the
project
as
well.
There
was
a
community
meeting
held
on
February
12th
and
there
were
four
invitees,
as
there
are
very
few
assessable
properties
and
there
were
no
attendees
at
the
project
or
at
the
meeting.
So
our
recommendation
this
morning
is
passage
of
resolution
or
during
the
work
to
proceed
in
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
10100,
sixty
nine
dollars
and
18
cents
for
19th
Avenue.
C
Fourth,
Street
South
and
20th
Avenue
South,
Street,
resurfacing
program
and
passage
of
a
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
authorized
cities
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
the
amount,
as
enumerated
for
these
for
this
project.
That's
my
presentation
and
we
can
stand
for
questions
if
there
are
any
are.
A
There
any
questions
per
the
staff
presentation
seeing
none.
Then
we
will
proceed
to
the
public
hearing.
This
public
hearing
for
item
number
1
anyone
signed
in
no
one
signed
in.
Does
anyone
wish
to
come
forward?
Anyone
wish
to
come
forward
seen
no
one
coming
forward.
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
move
item
1
as
presented
any
further
discussion,
seeing
none
all
in
favor,
say
aye
vicente
name
and
that
I'm
carries
and
we
can
now
go
to
public
here.
Number
2,
Kingfield
residential
street
resurfacing
project
director
hutchinson.
Mr.
B
C
Chair
again,
Mike
Kennedy
from
public
works
again
On
January,
18
2019,
the
City
Council
designate,
the
collation
of
the
2019
resurfacing
program.
The
king
field
residential
program
was
part
of
that
or
project
was
part
of
that.
This,
the
this
project
consists
of
about
five
little
over
five
miles
of
residential
streets.
C
It's
a
proposed
to
be
a
two
inch
overlay.
The
cost
of
the
project
is
one
million
three
hundred
thirty-nine
thousand
six
hundred
thirty
dollars,
of
which
nine
hundred
sixty
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
is,
would
be
assessed
and
I'll
mention
here
to
that.
I
should
have
before
the
2019
resurfacing
rates
will
be
used
for
the
project
which
are
66
cents
per
square
foot
for
non-residential
and
22
cents
per
square
foot
for
residential.
C
C
So
our
recommendation
again
this
morning
is
passage
of
a
resolution
ordering
the
work
to
proceed
for
the
king
field
project
in
adopting
special
assessments
in
the
amount
of
960
thousand
eight
hundred
ninety
dollars
and
23
cents
for
the
king
field,
project
and
passage
of
a
resolution
requesting
the
board
of
estimate
and
Taxation
to
authorize
the
city's
issuance
and
sale
of
assessment
bonds
in
the
amount
of
960
thousand
nine
hundred
dollars
for
this
project.
Again,
that's
my
presentation
and
we
can
take
any
questions
needed,
are.
A
D
D
D
So
I'm,
just
kind
of
curious
Nicollet
is
in
worse
shape
than
43rd
Street,
but
we're
paving
these
streets
on
the
side,
and
you
know
it
just
seems
kind
of
strange
to
me
that
that's
the
situation-
and
you
know
years
and
years
ago,
I
used
to
come
in
and
wait
on
customers
and
answer
phone
calls
with
it
like
that,
and
now
I
tended
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
dealing
with
the
city
state
and
county
projects
and
I'm.
Just
I
don't
know
how
much
the
small
businesses
in
the
area
can
actually
support.
D
I'm
really
surprised
others
didn't
come
in.
They
must
not
be
dealing
with.
We
deal
with
more
people
coming
in
from
out
of
the
area
than
just
the
basic
local
ones,
and
that's
why
it's
you
know
hugely
affected
us
so
I'm
just
opposing
it
because
of
the
assessments
that
have
been
on
the
business
so
much
lately
in
the
that
I'd
rather
see
that
$4,500
that
I'm
gonna
be
charged
for
it
going
to
fixing
this
highway.
So
we
can
get
the
city
back
into
the
normal.
The
way
it
should
be.
A
C
Mr.
chair
be
glad
to
talk
about
that.
This
is
part
of
our
neighborhood
resurfacing
program
that
was
established
in
2008,
where
we're
attempting
to
extend
the
lifestyle.
The
work
that
we're
doing
will
extend
the
life
cycle
of
these
streets
for
at
least
10
years
and
defer
much
more
expensive
work
into
the
future.
We
tend.
We
pick
these
projects
because
these
are
groups
in
these
streets
buy
the
original,
paving
construction
that
was
done,
and
so
the
condition
of
the
streets
are
consistent
throughout
the
area.
Nicollet
Avenue
is
an
MSA
Street.
C
It
is
not
part
of
this
project,
it's
it's
different
funding
mechanism
different
and
it's
an
arterial
street,
so
it
is
not
included
in
this
project.
It
may
be
in
worse
condition
because
the
streets
in
in
Kingfield
neighborhood
are
in
okay
shape,
but
they
are
within
the
window
that
we
normally
do
this
program
and
they
will
benefit
from
this
work.
C
They'll
benefit
that
life
extension
from
this
work,
this
business
being
on
the
corner
of
43rd
and
Nicollet,
is
within
the
influence
zone
of
43rd
Street
for
part
of
this
project,
so
they'll
be
paying
their
share,
which
is
just
a
partial
compared
to
some
of
the
other
properties
that
have
a
full,
their
full
area
is
assessed,
and
then
sometime
in
the
future,
when
Nicollet
is
paved,
they
will
see
a
little
bit
less
of
a
project
there
because
of
the
way
the
influenced
areas
work.
So
there
are
any
other
questions.
A
D
B
Would
be
happy
to
help
answer
questions
about
someone
to
recognize
that
major
reconstruction
35w
is
impactful
to
neighborhoods.
We
understand
that
and
we
may
be
able
to
pass
along
information
and
resources
for
you
about
that
project
as
well.
Ways
to
connect
with
MnDOT
so
we'd
be
happy
to
talk
with
you
afterwards
about
some
of
your
other
concerns
outside
of
the
assessment
and
some
of
the
issues
with
the
35w
project.
E
A
You
for
questions
on
this
item.
Well,
then,
I'll
move
the
item
before
us
all
in
favor,
say:
aye
I
had
this
ain't,
a
name
that
carries.
We
can
now
go
to
our
just
to
discussion
items
which
are
annual
affairs,
that
we
have
these
great
reports
from
our
very
active
advisory
committees,
starting
with
item
17,
the
Minneapolis
BAC
director
Hutchinson.
B
Mr.
chair
members
of
the
committee
I'm
always
so
pleased
to
be
able
to
introduce
this
item.
This
is
third
year
that
I've
had
the
privilege
of
doing
this.
We
work
very
closely
with
the
Bicycle
Advisory
Committee
and
the
pedestrian
Advisory
Committee,
and
they
provide
us
extremely
valuable
guidance
and
support
and
the
work
that
we
do.
They
are
all
volunteers,
as
you
know,
they
devote
their
own
time
to
making
Minneapolis
better
a
better
place
for
people
walking
a
better
place
for
people
biking,
they
push
us,
they
push
us
to
think
more
broadly.
B
They
provide
us
insights
as
to
what
it
feels
like
out
there
and
I
would
like
to
personally
thank
them
for
their
extensive
work
with
us
this
past
year
and
and
welcome
everyone
who's
here
to
support.
The
presentation.
I
also
would
like
to
introduce
and
call
out
the
work
of
Matthew
turtle
who,
for
years,
has
been
our
lead
staff
person
on
and
bicycling
and
who
helps
to
make
the
meetings
that
we
participate
in
with
our
back
and
pack
as
productive
as
possible.
A
F
Girl
Thank
You
mr.
chair
committee,
members
again,
my
name
is
Matthew
doodle,
high
school
and
pedestrian
coordinator
in
the
transportation
planning
and
programming
division
of
Public
Works.
So
this
is
one
of
my
favorite
days
in
the
job.
I
I
have
the
pleasure
of
working
with
the
pedestrian
and
bicycle
advisory
committees
every
week.
There's
something
there's
either
a
subcommittee
meeting
or
a
full
committee
meeting
or
preparing
for
this
presentation.
I
truly
enjoy
it.
F
So
I'm,
gonna
start
out
with
a
brief
overview
of
the
committee's
and
then
Alissa
shopman
vice
chair
of
the
BC,
will
will
helps
tee
up
the
annual
report
based
in
the
context
of
city
priorities.
I
just
want
to
give
a
quick
shout
out
to
Nick
Mason
the
chair
of
the
BAC.
He
couldn't
make
it
today,
but
he
cares
deeply
about
the
annual
report
as
well.
F
He
helped
us
in
this
presentation
and
he
is
very
comfortable
with
ELISA
vice-chair
taking
over
today
and
is
excited
for
you
to
meet
a
new
voice
and
then
finally,
Julia
Cabot,
chair
of
the
PC,
will
share
some
key
resolutions
and
highlights
from
2018.
Julia
is
one
of
our
most
veteran
pack
members.
This
is
our
eighth
year
on
the
pack
and
we're
excited
for
you
to
hear
from
her
as
well
and
then
finally,
I
want
to
acknowledge
the
other
pack
and
back
members
who
attended
I'm.
F
The
presentation
today
in
the
audience,
Julia
Curran
on
the
pack,
Emily
Wade
or
10
in
the
BAC
Aaron
Berger
on
the
pack.
Joshua
Jota,
is
on
the
BAC
as
a
park
board
Brett
right
here:
tonydd
roellinger,
Metro,
transit
agency,
rep,
Abigail
Johnson
on
the
pack
and
then
Paul
st.
Martin
as
well
on
the
pack
Suzanne
Murphy
is
our
consul
aid
representative
on
the
PA,
C
and
Robyn
Garwood,
who
I
know
was
watching.
F
He
told
me,
is
our
BAC
consul,
red
and
then
finally
Matthew
Hendricks
as
well
word
six
for
the
BAC
and
I
mentioned
tonydd
rolling.
Her
I
just
want
to
highlight
that
we
have
about
12
to
13
agency
representatives
on
the
PC
and
the
BSC,
and
they
show
up
every
month.
I'm
gonna
provide
a
lot
of
feedback
and
advice
from
their
professional
perspective,
and
that
includes
Metro,
Transit,
Met,
Council,
C,
ped,
Health,
Department
and
others
valuable
members
of
the
pack
and
I
think
a
unique,
a
unique
feature
of
our
advisory
committees.
F
So
real
quick
on
the
overview,
both
committees
bylaws,
commit
them
to
submitting
the
annual
report.
The
respective
reports
are
included
in
your
attachments
overall
you'll
notice.
The
resolutions
are
very
supportive
of
the
work
you
get
a
short
summary
in
your
packet,
but
they're.
Full
resolutions
often
include
a
summary
of
things
that
they
like
about
the
resolution
or
areas
where
they
would
like
us
to
maybe
push
a
little
harder
or
do
do
something
different
or
more,
a
brief
overview
of
the
pack
structure.
F
Each
committee
has
two
full
meetings
among
and
then
each
committee
also
has
two
subcommittees
per
month,
so
the
BAC
has
an
engineering
subcommittee
and
then
what
we
call
a
5e
subcommittee-
and
that
includes
equity
valuation,
education,
encouragement
and
enforcement,
and
the
pedestrian
advisory
committee
has
also
an
engineering
subcommittee
and
then
their
non
engineering
subcommittees
called
programs
and
policies.
I
also
want
to
note
that
we
are
currently
accepting
applications
for
the
pedestrian
advisory
committee.
F
They
are
all
at-large
15
members
at
large
and
those
applications
are
due
April
19
and
then
finally,
every
year
we
highlight
the
commitment
of
the
committees,
which
is
is
huge.
They
they
provide
thousands
of
hours
collectively
over
the
year,
but
this
year
they
went
I
would
say
even
more
above
and
beyond,
through
a
variety
of
a
variety
of
activities
outside
the
regular
medians.
F
So
what
you
have
on
the
screen
before
you
is
some
pictures
of
pedestrian
advisory
committee
members,
showing
on
a
thaw
day
how
you
can
get
out
and
clear
some
curb
ramps,
clear,
some
excess
ice
off
the
sidewalks
and
we've
been
working
with
communications
on
providing
winter
maintenance
communications
throughout
the
year,
and
this
is
an
opportunity
for
a
future
thaw
day
to
highlight
that
and
then
in
conjunction
with
our
streets,
Minneapolis,
members
of
which
were
here
today.
Mcrae's
they're,
namely
Wade
works
for
all
streets
as
well.
F
We
did
a
walk
promotions
pilot
this
year
called
we
walk.
Mpls
and
pack
members
participated
in
that
an
idea
was
to
highlight
positive,
walking
stories
to
give
people
encouragement
and
think
that
they
might
be
able
to
try,
walking
and
walking
and
taking
transit
that
day
and
then
finally,
this
year
in
particular
in
2018.
Also
in
particular,
we
have
a
lot
of
work
groups
around
projects
and
the
translation
action
plan
envisions
zero,
and
so
these
are
hours
outside
of
regular
meetings
that
they
contribute
to
the
city.
G
G
First
and
most
important.
The
city's
priorities
are
our
priorities,
we're
all
in
this
together
where
residents
we're
stakeholders.
We
want
to
see
the
city
reached
its
most,
so
it's
fullest
potential
and
be
its
most
thriving.
The
put
bicycle
and
pedestrian
advisory
committees
named
climate
change
and
equity
as
two
huge
work
areas
that
the
city
had
identified,
that
we
also
wanted
to
keep
at
the
center
of
our
work
in
2018
and
for
2019.
G
The
first
major
theme
of
our
work
in
2019
is
planning
big
surprise.
First,
I
just
want
to
list
all
the
things
that
the
PA
C
and
the
B
AC
have
helped
inform
or
we'll
keep
working
on
in
2019.
It's
a
long
list.
These
include
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
Comprehensive,
Plan,
the
transportation
action
plan,
vision,
0,
the
ad
a
transition
plan,
the
winter
maintenance
study,
the
Greenway
study,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
planning
and
the
city
of
and
Public
Works
priorities
are
all
really
deeply
enmeshed
in
these
plans
and
what's
really
exciting
about
it.
G
Is
that
we're
in
a
period
that,
where
everything
that
we
do
is
impacting
not
only
right
now,
but
the
next
2
5
10
20
years
we're
paying
a
lot
of
attention
to
these
policies
and
how
they're
supporting
that
vision
of
an
equitable
Minneapolis
that
not
only
meets
but
maybe
exceeds
its
climate
change
goals.
Let's
dream
big:
we
are
leading
the
nation
in
many
ways.
The
coverage
of
2040
illustrates
this
and
it's
something
we
should
celebrate.
At
the
same
time.
G
G
Another
theme-
that's
really
woven
through
our
conversations
for
2019
is
new
methods
of
mobility.
Sometimes
it's
termed
micro
mobility
or
advanced
mobility
or
shared
mobility.
What
we're
really
talking
about
is
the
new
and
emerging
ways
that
people
are
getting
around
and
as
communities
we're
cognizant
of
the
fact
that
streets
are
rapidly
evolving.
The
options
available
to
people
now
aren't
what
what
are
always
going
to
be
available
and
when
we
think
about
the
future
of
sidewalks
and
of
bike
lanes,
we're
also
thinking
about
what
questions
are
relevant.
How
do
we
adapt?
G
How
do
we
have
a
plan
if
we
didn't
see
scooters
coming
even
a
year
ago?
What
else
might
surprise
us?
What
might
we
need
to
be
thinking
about
in
terms
how
autonomous
vehicles
change
our
interaction
with
our
streetscape
key
to
answering
these
questions
is
not
getting
too
fixated
on
mode,
but
thinking
about
the
people
who
are
getting
around
in
different
ways.
Part
of
the
reason
we're
having
a
joint
presentation
is
because
people
cross
modes
I'm
a
person,
I
walk,
I
bike,
I.
G
Another
key
theme
for
2019
is
winter
maintenance.
Winter
maintenance
has
made
great
strides
recently,
and
we
are
also
optimistic
and
so
happy
that
people
are
talking
about
it
and
thinking
about
it
and
prioritizing
it.
It's
huge
it's
in
the
news,
everyone's
talking
about
winter
maintenance
and
at
the
same
time
we
know.
There's
a
lot
left
to
do
we're
a
city
with
a
lot
of
weather
and
Street
maintenance
and
winter
maintenance
are
a
huge
way
that
our
commitment
to
complete
streets
shows
up.
G
We've
done
a
lot
of
work
around
our
Complete
Streets
policy
and
when
I
as
a
resident
of
Minneapolis,
envisioned
us
fully
embodying
our
Complete
Streets
policy
as
a
city
and
living
true
to
the
spirit
of
Complete
Streets
as
a
value,
it
means
that
we
plow
sidewalks
before
we
plow
streets.
It
means
that
we
shift
our
work
so
that
we
put
sidewalks
and
curb
ramps
and
bus
stops
first
and
then
bike
lanes.
And
then
we
talk
about
how
much
is
left
for
cars.
G
If
you
were
in
a
wheelchair
and
wanting
to
get
around
the
city
last
Tuesday
or
Wednesday,
you
couldn't
do
it
and
when
we're
thinking
about
a
Minneapolis
that
is
fully
equitable
and
accessible
for
everyone,
that's
the
bar
and
we
have
to
clear
it
I'm,
not
suggesting
that
that's
easy.
Holding
a
vision
like
this
is
hard
implementing.
It
is
hard,
but
that
doesn't
mean
we
shouldn't
do
it.
H
So
our
missions
are
a
little
bit
different,
but
I
would
summarize
them
both
as
being
to
promote
both
more
and
safer,
walking
and
biking
for
fun
and
transportation.
So
toward
those
goals,
we've
passed
a
lot
of
resolutions
this
year,
66
altogether,
38
by
the
BAC
and
28
by
the
P
AC,
and
those
resolutions
address
things
like
CIP
funding
policies
and
the
planning
that
Alyssa
talked
some
about,
as
well
as
a
ton
of
infrastructure
projects
and
altogether,
as
Matthew
suggested,
we've
put
in
probably
more
than
2,000
hours
of
volunteer
time
over
the
past
year.
H
So
again,
we
each
committee
suggested
some
things
for
the
capital
improvement
projects
and
we
kind
of
wanted
to
highlight
some
of
our
suggestions
here.
So
first,
we're
really
excited
about
the
potential
for
greenways,
and
that
word
has
a
lot
of
different
meanings,
but
by
whatever
definition
you
think
of
it.
We
definitely
want
more
of
them,
so
it'd
be
great
to
have
some
dedicated
funding
for
especially
paths
through
neighborhoods
that
are
dedicated
to
biking
and
walking.
H
We're
really
excited
to
have
more
piloting
happening
so
bollards
and
rails
and
paint
and
other
temporary
treatments
are
a
really
quick
and
cheap
way
to
see
if
something
works
and
to
improve
safety
in
the
mean
time
and
these
capital
projects
are
a
really
good,
important
way
to
fund
things
that
are
hard
to
fund
in
other
ways,
such
as
bike
and
pedestrian
bridges
over
the
rivers
and
trails
and
other
things
like
that.
So
there
are
some
things
that
we
would
love
to
see
happening.
H
That
c.a.p
is
the
one
path
that
we
see
toward,
so
our
committees
have
some
different
lists
of
keywords
that
we
use
to
structure
our
efforts
and
our
lists
are
actually
a
little
bit
different,
but
we
share
and
really
have
focused
on
in
the
past
year:
education
enforcement
and
equity.
So
the
first
of
those
education
Matthew
mentioned
a
social
media
campaign
highlighting
the
benefits
of
walking
that
we're
really
pleased
to
see
public
works.
H
Promoting
and
a
lot
of
our
members
on
the
PA
see
were
highlighted
in
that
as
well.
So
we
definitely
participated
in
that.
The
BAC
has
done
some
support
for
the
bike,
walk
fun,
curriculum
that
bike
men
put
together
and
that's
a
way
of
reaching
kids
early
and
studies
have
shown
that
when
kids,
especially
in
any
young
people,
become
comfortable
with
these
alternative
modes
of
transportation,
they're
a
lot
more
likely
to
choose
them
later.
So
that
applies
to
biking
and
walking
and
transit.
H
G
I'm
gonna
talk
about
walking
for
a
second,
because
I
am
the
kid
who
walked
to
school
and
now
it's
choosing
different
ways
to
get
around
other
than
a
car
I
used
to
walk
starting
from
age.
Eight
about
a
mile
and
a
half
each
way
to
school.
I
would
pick
up
a
friend
on
the
way.
Sometimes
she
chronically
ran
late
and
I
was
really
punctual.
Kids,
so
sometimes
I
would
just
leave
her
behind,
but
those
walks
to
school
are
some
of
my
fondest
memories
of
learning.
G
H
So
we
see
drivers
running
red
lights.
We
see
drivers
speeding,
we
see
property
owners
neglecting
their
icy
sidewalks
and
we
know
that
people
fall
and
our
hurts.
We
know
that
people
are
hit
and
injured.
People
are
even
killed
because
of
these
behaviors
and
choices,
and
so
to
see
little
or
no
consequences.
For
those
things
is
really
frustrating
and
heartbreaking
to
us.
H
It
causes
a
lot
of
harm
to
people,
but
we
also
know
that
consequences
applied
on
equally,
which
definitely
happens
in
our
current
system
and
an
increase
in
enforcement
that
in
any
way
increases
the
potential
for
police,
intimidation
and
violence,
causes
greater
harm
and
is
even
sometimes
more
heartbreaking.
So
that's
a
conversation,
that's
ongoing
in
our
committees.
How
much
do
we
want
to
promote
enforcement
when
we
know
that
that's
a
potential
consequence
and
vision?
H
Zero
has
really
highlighted
that
controversy
for
us,
because
some
ways
of
implementing
that
have
enforcement
as
a
really
central
piece,
and
we
just
think
it's
essential
that
as
those
policies
are
developed
and
fleshed
out
that
the
people
who
are
most
likely
to
kind
of
bear
the
brunt
of
increased
enforcement
and
whose
existence
is
most
likely
to
be
criminalized,
it's
really
essential
that
those
people
are
guiding
the
conversations
as
we
develop
those
policies
as
a
city,
but
we
do
know.
However,
anybody
feels
about
enforcement.
H
We
do
know
that
what
exists
now
isn't
totally
working
and
we
can
sort
of
avoid
the
problem
altogether
if
we
build
systems
that
just
work
without
having
to
without
having
to
force
anybody
to
conform
to
a
certain
behavior.
So,
for
example,
if
the
city
just
cleared
sidewalks,
we
never
have
to
find
anybody,
and
if
roads
are
designed
to
slow
drivers,
we
never
have
to
give
people
speeding
tickets.
H
We
also
on
our
committees.
Think
of
equity.
In
terms
of
modal
equity,
which
is
something
that
the
Complete
Streets
policy
aims
to
do,
so
cars
have
been
so
dominant
in
our
culture
for
so
long
that
to
really
properly
shift
things
and
rebalance,
it's
really
important
to
put
extra
attention
on
other
options.
H
H
So
there
are
a
lot
of
projects
in
2018
that
we
were
really
happy
to
see
completed,
including
protected
bikeways
on
Plymouth
Avenue
and
11th
Avenue,
with
concrete
medians
a
sidewalk
gap
that
was
closed
on
Chicago
Avenue
bump-outs
on
sixth
Street
in
Cedar,
Riverside
that
improved
pedestrian
street
crossing
safety,
temporary
bump
outs
at
15th,
Street
in
Oak
Grove,
and
a
pilot
treatment
at
the
Midtown
Greenway
in
29th
Avenue
South.
That
was
turned
permanent,
which
were
pleased
about
and
finally,
the
opening
of
sandwich
heart
crossing,
which
is
now
available
for
use
without
cars.
G
G
I
Thank
You
mr.
chair,
thank
you
for
this
report
in
this
update.
I
am
curious
from
your
comments
about
enforcement
and
how
your
committee
it's
complicated,
and
it's
complex
and
I'm
curious.
How
connected
or
knowledgeable
does
the
back
and
the
PAC
feel
on
the
enforcement
side
of
things
as
we
get
to
this
more
integrated
work,
it
requires
some
new
kinds
of
conversations
and
communication
and
I'm
just
curious
how
you
felt
you've
gotten
information,
whether
it's
data
or
whether
it's
MPD
conversations
with
you
and
I'm,
just
curious.
I
H
Is
complicated
and
feel
free
to
add
more
after
I
say
this
I
mean
in
terms
of
MPD
input
like
we
haven't
ever
had
quite
as
much
representation
from
police
on
our
committees
as
we'd
like
in
theory,
we
have
a
spot
for
them,
but
there
hasn't
always
been
a
lot
of
interaction
there.
So
mostly
right
now.
This
is
like
theoretical
debates
that
we're
having
it's
less
about
data
and
more
about
what
do
we
want
to
envision?
And
what
do
we
want
to
push
for
that
help
answer
the
question
or
do
you
want
to
add
more.
J
J
To
thank
everybody
who
has
participated
in
these
commissions
and
and
who's
been
advocating
for
bicycle
and
pedestrian
experience
around
our
city.
This
is
one
of
the
more
proactive
sets
of
Commission's
that
we
have
volunteers.
Working
really
hard
on
I
think
that
the
work
has
been
a
really
high
quality
of
really
thoughtful
and
is
one
of
the
Commission's
I
think
that
has
it
has
had
more
successful
give-and-take
with
the
departments.
J
I
think
the
Public
Works
does
a
really
good
job
of
engaging,
and
we
see
ideas
coming
out
of
these
Commission's,
as
well
as
these
Commission's,
responding
to
ideas
that
they're
coming
from
Public
Works.
That's
how
this
should
be
working.
This
is
great,
so
I
want
to
just
really
appreciate
the
work.
That's
happening
there
and
also
acknowledge
that
continued
work
on.
J
The
enforcement
conversation
that
I
think
is
something
that
we
are
going
to
dig
a
lot
deeper
into
and
I
I
think
it's
worth
just
naming
as
an
aspirational
goal,
that
MPD
in
public
works
and
and
these
Commission's
should
be
in
more
of
a
dialogue
and
and
aren't
right
now.
I
think
that
it's
something
that
we
haven't
sort
of
made
happen
as
a
city
to
to
get
MPD
to
the
table
in
these
conversations,
so
that
our
enforcement
is
aligning
with
the
values
that
we're
putting
forward
around
how
people
get
around
and
how
we're
using
our
streets.
J
A
E
Thank
you
very
much
and
we
appreciate
the
presentation.
I
have
a
couple
questions.
One
has
to
do
with
the
makeup
of
the
two
groups.
I
know
for
a
long
time,
especially
with
Bicycle
Advisory
Committee.
We
thought
there
was
a
pretty
dramatic
gender
imbalance,
so
I'm
wondering
I
mean
it.
It's
feeling
today,
like
we've,
improved
in
that,
but
I'm
not
quite
sure,
I'm
also
curious
about
the
diversity
in
terms
of
representation,
citywide
and
then
people
of
color
and
other
cultures
on
the
groups.
H
Think
the
gender
balance
is
a
decent
right
now
I
mean
you
can
see
that
there
are
women
presenting
today.
So
that's
good
and
several
in
the
audience
as
well.
I
think
we're
pretty
close
to
have
these
on
that
racial
representation
is
an
ongoing
conversation
as
well,
and
not
something
that
we
as
committees,
feel
fully
equipped
by
ourselves
to
change
that
we
would
love
to
see
it
changed.
Geographic
representation,
I
think
is
a
decent,
especially
because
your
ears,
this
word
specific
ours.
H
It
gets
a
little
imbalanced
geographically,
sometimes,
but
I
think
overall
is
healthy,
but
agree
that
our
committees
overall
are
fairly
white
and
that's
something
that
we
would
like
to
see
changed
and
are
doing
what
we
can
to
change
that.
You
know
in
terms
of
our
recruitment
strategies
and
so
forth.
Yeah.
G
I
would
agree
that
at
the
BAC
that's
been
an
ongoing
conversation.
We've
talked
about
logistics
and
childcare,
phone-in
options
stipends.
Do
we
change
meeting
times,
because
we
know
that
all
of
those
things
are
I
mean
this
meeting
is
in
the
middle
of
the
workweek
in
the
morning,
and
there
are
folks
who
can't
come
so
we're
thinking
and
talking
about
all
those
things.
The
BAC
is
a
little
heavier
in
terms
of
mail.
Jen
I
think
it's
about
two
to
one
last
time.
C
H
And
I
just
want
to
add
to
about
more
racial
representation.
That's
something
again
that
I
mentioned
even
here
like
when
we're
talking
about
these
policies
that
are
being
created.
Like
don't
just
talk
to
us
like
we
try
to
also
push
the
people
getting
our
opinion
to
find
other
people
to
talk
to
you,
because
we
know
that
we're
not
fully
representing
things
so
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
I
do
think.
The
pedestrian
advisory
committee
specifically
is
really
good
or
has
been
good
at
bringing
in
people
with
different
physical
abilities
and
I.
H
Think
there
are
several
like
a
big
age
range,
that's
represented
on
our
committees,
parents
with
small
children,
people
who
are
older
and
then
also
one
member
who
has
been
there
the
entirety
of
my
tenure,
who
uses
a
wheelchair
and
always
at
least
one
member
who's
blind.
So
there
is
a
good
representation,
I
think
on
our
committee.
In
that
sense,
I
think.
G
For
the
for
the
BAC,
we
also
have
a
really
wide
age
range,
which
is,
which
is
great
and
also
the
things
that,
in
my
role,
is
Vice
Chair
and,
as
our
five
East
chair
have
made.
A
point
to
do
is
build
a
relationship
with
the
chair
of
the
maca
pod
committee,
the
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee
on
people
with
disabilities,
and
they
have
attended
some
of
those
meetings
to
really
recognize
that
they
have
a
lot
of
knowledge
to
offer
and
they're
offering
it,
and
we
should
be
receiving
that
knowledge
too.
G
H
Several
people,
I
think
from
each
of
our
committees,
were
recruited
into
these
work
groups
for
the
different
components
of
the
transportation
action
plan.
Specifically,
so
several
of
us
were
in
on
hours
of
meetings
over
the
past
few
months,
trying
to
establish
some
of
the
baseline
stuff
for
those.
So
that's
happened
in
terms
of
the
ongoing
connection
to
it.
I
don't
know
if
we've
specifically
made
that
plan
and
that's
a
good
reminder
that
we
should
be
sure
to
do
so.
That's.
E
Gonna
be
really
key
that
we
get
that
plan
right
and
we're
gonna
need
your
involvement
and
we're
gonna
need
you
to
to
speak
up.
I
just
want
to
appreciate
all
the
work
that
you
do.
I
appreciate
that
you
take
formal
actions
and
resolutions
and
weigh
in
on
things,
I
also
appreciate
it.
It
feels
like
you're,
comfortable,
challenging
policymakers
and
staff.
If
you
think,
there's
an
issue
that
you
just
groups
disagree
with
I
think
we're
not
doing
enough
I
think
it's
important
to
do
that.
E
So
if
you
have
any
last
words
of
wisdom,
that
would
be
great
and
I
know
that
I
really
like
it
when
your
position
aligns
with
mine
and
I,
really
appreciated
your
focus
here
on
winter
maintenance
and
looking
at
what
we
can
do
and
we're
all
looking
at
it
and
no
inspections
are
going
on
and
we
think
we
have
great
compliance,
but
then
any
of
us
walks
around
and
looks
at
corners
and
intersections
after
all
the
snow
and
we
go
on.
You
know
we
must
do
more,
so
I'm
hopeful.
E
We
can
develop
some
pilots
to
try
and
slowly
tiptoe
into
getting
more
responsibility
as
a
government
entity
and
to
taking
care
of
some
of
these
areas,
but
that
was
my
sorry
jumped
on
the
soapbox.
But
is
there
something
that
we
could
do
more
to
support
you?
As
a
council?
I
guess
was
the
question.
H
E
G
K
Mr.
chair
I
really
appreciate
the
presentation
and
all
the
work
they
do.
Accoring
sentiments
of
my
colleagues
on
this
I
have
two
questions
for
you,
the
first
on
the
recommendations,
page
I
know
you
recommend
it.
For
instance,
different
capital
improvement
changes
around
funding.
Do
you
have
specific
recommendations
on
that
on
levels
of
funding
or
areas
where
maybe
change
our
priorities?
I.
F
F
The
BAC
and
the
PC
weigh
in
on
recommendations
that
they
would
like
to
see
in
there
and
then
that
kind
of
goes
into
the
public
works
court
as
we
get
gear
up
for
click
as
far
as
official
numbers
I,
don't
believe
that
the
pack
or
back,
has
expressed
a
specific
number
for
use
of
the
programs,
but
more
support
for
the
existing
programs
and
support
for
increased
funding
when
and
where
appropriate.
I
appreciate.
K
That
I
guess
might
be
back
or
comment
on
that
would
be
I
understand
the
role
of
the
Kliq
committee
and
I
kind
of
think
of
this,
as
checks
and
balances.
So
I
personally
would
be
interested
if
the
be
AC
or
P
AC
has
any
recommended
changes
to
what
comes
out
to
strengthen
around
that
going
forward,
and
future
budget
says
we're,
considering
that
that's
something
I
personally
like
to
see
and
then
I
also
have
another
question
for
you,
which
is
that
certainly
Public
Works
is
very
actively
involved
with
our
intergovernmental
relations
committee
and
work.
G
First
and
specific
to
the
Kliq
question:
that's
something
that
I
really
love
to
discuss
with
the
committee.
The
Bicycle
Advisory
Committee
actually
has
a
member
who
also
serves
on
click
and
I.
Think
he
would
have
some
really
great
insights
for
us
to
be
able
to
have
that
conversation
as
far
as
state
funding
I
think
we
obviously
the
bicycle.
Alliance
Minnesota
is
a
partner
of
ours.
G
I
also
work
at
move
Minnesota,
which
does
advocacy
for
statewide
funding
and
so
I
think
we
as
a
committee
and
as
a
group,
are
aware
that
we
need
to
be
leveraging
those
those
resources
and
bringing
that
into
the
conversation
and
as
a
committee,
we
we
don't
engage
in
formal
advocacy
at
that
level.
Certainly.
K
And
I'm
the
chair
of
the
intergovernmental
relations
committee,
so
I
just
extend
the
offer
that
as
you're
looking
at
what
could
improve
across
these
different
measures
in
the
city.
Having
that
conversation
around
legislation
is
up
before
the
state
we
great
to
get
that
feedback
from
you
all
around
the
different
legislation.
The
priorities
or
things
were
not
even
thinking
of
so
that
that
can
then
enter
in
our
conversation
with
Public
Works,
as
we
continue
that
constant
ongoing
process
around
intergovernmental
relations.
K
I'd
say
the
same
thing
applies
to
and
thinking
about,
work
before
my
council
or
the
county
and
how
we
interface
with
them
and
have
those
conversations
so
that
we
can
make
sure
we're
thinking
of
everything
and
able
to
carry
on
as
well
and
have
your
your
conversations
enter
into
those
conversations
again.
Thanks
for
all
the
work,
yeah.
H
L
L
That
I
mean
it's
even
a
shift
to
have
the
BAC
and
the
PA
see
up
here
presenting
together,
because
in
the
bad
old
days,
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
were
pitted
against
each
other
for
a
tiny
amount
of
road
space
that
was
left
over
when
we
planned
for
cars.
And
you
know
we
had
to
sort
of
build
those
bridges
and
a
few
years
ago
the
BAC
and
the
PSE
started
presenting
together
and
that
partnership
is
critical
to
the
whole
philosophy.
L
The
philosophical
shift
that
our
city
has
taken,
which
is
that
were
no
longer
designing
streets
for
cars,
with
a
little
bit
of
space
left
over
for
biking
and
walking,
but
rather
centering
people
in
our
street
design
from
the
beginning
and
our
staff
have
led
that
shift.
The
BAC
in
the
PACU
have
led
that
shift,
and
many
folks
here,
including
the
chair,
have
been
really
critical
to
that
shift.
L
I
want
you
to
know
that,
as
the
chair
and
vice
chair,
that
this
committee
and
the
president
of
the
council,
covera,
Reich
and
I,
are
on
the
steering
committee
for
the
t8,
the
ta
P,
the
transfusion
Action
Plan
Update,
and
it
has
been
a
priority
for
us
and
council
member
bar
Sami
to
make
sure
that
the
BAC
NPA
C
are
included
in
all
the
planning
and
engagement,
and
that
has
been
welcomed
by
staff.
So
we
look
forward
to
your
continued
leadership
as
we
develop
the
details
of
that
plan.
L
I
want
to
thank
all
of
the
staff,
especially
is
so
cool
to
have
Metro
Transit
here
today.
Thank
you.
We
don't
have
a
Transit
Advisory
Committee
at
the
city,
so
we
are
going
to
rely
on
you
on
the
BAC
and
the
PA
C
to
help
us
take
our
transit
planning
to
the
next
level,
and
many
of
you
I
know
our
transit
users
and
transit
riders.
L
A
There's
no
other
commentary.
Thank
you,
council
president.
I
think
that
really
sets
a
tone,
I'm
in
a
sort
of
a
spirit
of
partnership
that
I
think
pervades
all
through
the
work
and
what
work
it
is
I
mean
the
numerical
hours
that
you
folks
put
in
the
type
of
work.
The
depth
of
conversation
you
have
is
really
unprecedented
and
it's
early.
These
speaks
our
system,
we
should
say
we're
number
one
by
City
and
we
can
measure
it
in
miles
or
whatever
they
do
and
in
those
terms
and
ridership,
but
really
the
missing
equation.
A
The
X
Factor
is
really
what
your
work
and
and
I
would
I
would
not
leave
this
to
Diaz
today
and
say:
oh,
you
are
invited
to
help
us
with
our
big
plans
that
we
have
or
you're
allowed
to
participate.
We
actually
depend
on
that
to
participation
for
it
to
be
the
products
that
we
need
them
to
be
in
they're
big.
These
are
things
that
go
beyond
just
the
day-to-day
evaluation
and
sort
of
prioritization
of
budget.
These
are
the
plans
that
are
going
to
mark
out
the
next
decade.
A
The
transit
action
plan
will
mark
of
the
next
decade
of
work.
We
do
the
vision,
zero
will
mark
out
and
probably
I,
don't
know
even
more
than
a
decade
of
work
and
planning
and
results
and
results
that
really
matter
to
we're
talking
life
and
death,
and
it
can
get
to
be
that
serious.
The
work
that
you
guys
are
involved
in,
and
so
we
are
absolutely
dependent
on
the
work
moving
forward
in
your
participation
and
thank
you
for
what
you've
done
today
and
I
would
also
say
that
in
fact,
we
had
all
this
back
and
forth.
A
I
mean
we
can
usually
fly
through
a
lot
of
work
up
here,
because
it's
so
profound
tree,
but
you
guys
up
there
and
all
of
a
sudden
we're
this
engaged
committee
participating
right
along
you
and
you
guys
fool
eating.
All
those
questions
on
the
fly
is
very,
very
impressive,
so
look
forward
to
next
year
and
work
in
between
with
that,
since
it
was
a
joint
presentation,
can
we
improve
both
items
simultaneously
at
reception,
while
both
items
17
and
18,
which
is
our
Minneapolis
bicycle
advisory
and
report,
and
our
pedestrian
advisory
and
report?
