my
presentation
and
I
will
stand

any
questions.
You
have
thank.
A
D
Good
morning,
this
is
my
first
public
hearings,
I'm
a
little
nervous.
My
name
is
Carolyn
Travis
I'm
a
resident
in
that
neighborhood
I
live
at
3660,
Taylor
Street,
which
is
I,
believe
a
lot
too
I
was
not
at
the
hearing
or
the
meeting
last
week
on
November
4th,
but
I
know
many
of
my
neighbors
were
and
I
don't
see
any
of
them
here
today.
D
So
I
think
I'm
kind
of
representing
a
number
of
them
that
live
in
that
neighborhood,
including
folks
who
live
on
the
street
next
to
me,
which
would
be
I,
believe
36
and
a
half
and
my
neighbors
right
across
the
street
and
some
folks
that
live
on
the
Filmore
part
of
the
project.
We
have
several
concerns
about
this
project
and
I'm,
not
sure
how
how
many
of
us
were
actually
consulted
about
this
before
the
design
of
the
project
was
made,
but
we
have
a
couple
of
two
major
concerns
about
it.
D
The
first
is
that
there
are
many
neighbors
we'll
have
one
car
garages
in
this
neighborhood
and
there's
a
big
concern
about
reducing
the
number
of
parking
spots
in
this
neighborhood,
primarily
because
of
the
introduction
of
the
curb
on
bump
outs,
and
we
know
that
that's
going
to
reduce
the
number
of
parking
spots
in
our
neighborhood.
Our
neighborhood
is
a
very
nice
neighborhood
right
now.
We
don't
think
that
there's
really
a
need
for
any
beautification.
D
We
are
on
the
north
side
of
railroad
tracks,
and
so
it's
the
streets
are
right
now,
a
little
bit
of
a
challenge
to
plow,
so
I
just
think
it's
going
to
make
that
more
challenging.
We
also
are
questioning
the
widening
of
the
boulevards.
What
is
the
need
for
this?
Again?
It's
a
very
nice
neighborhood.
Now
we
don't
think
there
is
a
need
for
beautification.
D
If
that's
the,
if
that's
the
primary
goal,
I
walk
in
this
neighborhood
frequently
so
I
want
I
am
one
of
the
pedestrians
that
will
be
affected
by
this,
and
it's
a
very
walkable
neighborhood,
there's
nothing
wrong
with
it.
The
way
it
is
right
now
so
I,
don't
there's
also
not
a
lot
of
pedestrians
that
walk
it's
not
one
of
the
reasons
they're
into
a
lot
of
pedestrians
is
because
it
is
on
the
north
side
of
the
railroad
tracks.
D
If
that's
part
of
the
reason
that
we're
doing
this
I
saw
on
the
website
that
one
of
the
reasons
was
to
calm
traffic,
there
isn't
a
lot
of
traffic
in
the
neighborhood
again,
it's
a
small
section
of
the
neighborhood
again
on
this
on
the
north
side
of
the
tracks,
and
so
we
really
questioned
why
some
of
these
modifications
are
being
made.
That's
all
I
have
thank.
A
You
Ernest
thank
you
and
we'll
have
a
staff
respond
to
the
functionality
of
what's
proposed.
Anyone
else
wish
to
come
forward.
Anyone
else
wish
to
come
forward,
seeing
none
I
will
close
the
public
hearing,
and
perhaps
staff
can
speak
to
the
notion
of
the
functionality
of
bump-outs
and
wider
boulevards,
particularly
as
it
pertains
to
snow
plowing
has
that
was
specifically
referenced
and,
as
we
know,
plowing
and
storage
go
hand
in
hand.
A
C
Think
mr.
chair,
in
relation
to
why
some
pots
are
being
installed
installed
with
this
project,
the
mop
house
provides
several
benefits,
including
not
just
reducing
pedestrian
crossing
distances,
but
they
also
reduce
the
amount
of
impervious
surface
and
add
more
green
space
to
the
neighborhood
in
several
locations.
C
A
D
A
A
B
Chair
members
of
the
committee
I
am
very
pleased
to
introduce
this
next
discussion
item,
which
is
a
presentation
on
the
zero
waste
action
plan
from
2012
for
2020
to
2022.
This
is
an
area
that
I
would
really
like
to
highlight.
The
staff
both
Dave
David
Herbert
holds
and
Kelly
Kish,
especially,
are
incredibly
dedicated
to
this
topic
of
reducing
our
waste
and
really
changing
how
we
think
about
our
waste
stream.
B
This
follows
policy
work
that
was
completed
in
2017
community
engagement
that
was
completed
through
2018
and
is
also
being
done
in
a
coordinated
way
with
Hennepin
County,
who
adopted
some
of
their
goals
and
actions
in
2018
as
well,
2018
and
2019.
So
with
that,
as
a
backdrop
I'd
like
to
introduce
Dave
her
beholds,
who
will
kick
off
the
presentation?
He's
the
director
of
solid
waste
and
recycling
and
Kelly
Kish
will
also
assist
thanks.
E
Thank
you
morning
mr.
chair
committee,
members
I'm
Dave
Berger
halls
I'm,
the
director
of
solid
waste
and
recycling
for
the
city
and
I'm
joined
by
Kelly
Kish,
our
recycling
coordinator
for
the
city,
we're
going
to
combine
to
make
a
brief
presentation
on
a
three
year
action
plan
for
zero
waste.
It's
been
a
while,
since
we've
had
this
conversation
and
we're
ready
to
take
some
initial
steps
and
wanted
to
bring
them
bring
this
item
to
the
committee
before
the
end
of
the
year
kind
of
set
some
things
in
motion
for
the
next
three
years.
So.
E
Just
a
little
overview
history
of
the
zero
waste
plan,
some
of
the
objectives
and
then
an
overview.
This
timeline
here
shows
that
going
back
to
the
June
of
2015
when
the
council
adapted
recycling
camp
composting
goals
and
carries
out
through
the
the
approval
of
the
zero
waste
plan.
In
now
our
introduction
of
a
zero
waste.
Three
years
ago,
waste
plan,
as
Robin
said,
we've
done
an
awful
lot
of
community
and
stakeholder
outreach
in
the
past
few
years,
which
we
felt
was
very
important
to
have
that
dialogue
and
implement
some
of
that
discussion
into
this
plan.
E
So
the
idea
that
here
is
that
you
know
we're
looking
to
do
the
diversion,
keep
some
of
the
valued
materials
out
of
the
landfill
and
waste
energy
facility,
reduce
our
greenhouse
gases,
create
jobs,
increase
economic
activity
and
our
division
of
Public
Works
was
directed
to
take
the
lead,
but
we
are
partnering
with
health,
regulatory
services
and
cpad
on
some
of
the
initiatives
that
are
included
within
this
action
plan,
so
an
idea
of
the
stakeholders.
So
these
are
the
sectors
that
we're
focusing
on.
E
As
you're
aware
of
my
division
within
Public
Works
were
responsible
for
the
residential,
solid
waste
collection
and
management.
Then
we've
got
the
commercial
and
industrial
multifamily
sectors,
institutions,
our
own
city,
internal
and
in
public
space,
and
the
size
of
these
circles
here
are
assumptions
of
the
solid
waste
volume
within
those
sectors.
So,
as
you
see,
the
commercial
industrial
multi-family
is
pretty
large
area.
E
So
how
do
we
get
to
advancing
our
zero
waste
activities?
I
think
it's
very
important.
This
slide
kind
of
shows
that
you
have
to
have
the
education
and
outreach
involved
with
the
access
for
opportunity
and
that
will
increase
in
materials.
We
our
focus
for
the
action
plan
for
the
next
three
years,
primarily
a
lot
of
benchmarking,
so
we
don't
have
the
data
out
there
for
some
of
the
other
sectors.
E
We
do
a
very
good
job
on
what
we
do
residentially
within
the
city,
but
it's
going
out
there
working
with
stakeholders
with
the
state
state
MPCA
and
establishing
those
baselines
get
a
better
understanding
what
the
existing
conditions
are
and
then
moving
beyond
and
really
promoting
incentives,
resources
to
where
those
sectors
that
need
some
assistance
will
obtain
that
and
once
again
working
in
partnership
with
Hennepin
County
and
a
lot
of
the
resources.
So
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
Kelly
Keisha
our
recycling
coordinator
for
the
any
finisher.
That's
really
comfortable,
Gordon,
I'm,
sorry
I,
just.
F
Wanted
to
ask
one
good
question:
you
talked
about
him
just
getting
baseline
data
and
the
pre-code
slide
right
before
that.
You
showed
these
three
I
mean
five
circles
and
he
mentioned
assumptions
there
they
are
so
do
we
know
how
much
waste
is
coming
from
the
commercial
industrial
multifamily
sector
at
all
or
mr.
E
Chair
councilmember
Gordon,
we
we
really
don't.
You
know
we
have
that
the
state
is,
has
done
a
little
more
aggressive
approach
to
having
reporting
of
data
done
done
by
the
commercial
sectors
and
the
businesses
I
think
they
have
yet
to
really
establish
a
true
grounding
of
what
what
the
volumes
really
are
out
there.
We
just
know-
and
we
know
when
we
assume
and
I
think
we're
fairly
accurate,
knowing
that
the
volume
of
that
sector
is
much
larger
than
what
our
residential
area
is.
Do
we
get
better.
E
Know
I
think
we
do
for
the
fact
that
you
know
we
work
very
close
with
the
park
board.
We
are
involved
with
somewhat
with
the
public
schools,
so
I
think
that
they
had
information
because
smaller
smaller
pie,
as
far
as
the
number
of
stakeholders
in
there
so
I
think
the
degree
of
accuracy
and
involvement
of
those
sectors
is
better
than
the
larger
expanse
of
the
businesses.
So
I
think.
Yes,
we
we
feel
that
we
can
make
head
head,
rose
they're
a
little
little
quicker
than
the
commercial
sector
and.
E
E
G
Hi
mr.
chair
committee,
members,
my
name
is
Kelly
Kish
I'm,
the
recycling
coordinator,
I'm,
happy
to
be
here
to
talk
about
some
of
the
action
items
that
are
identified
in
the
2020
to
2020
to
zero
waste
action
plan.
So
some
very
important
things
that
we
think
are
needed
across
all
sectors
are
going
to
be.
G
Now
real,
quick
so
of
all
of
the
sectors
that
Dave
showed
a
little
a
couple
slides
ago:
commercial,
multifamily,
institutional
city,
internal.
All
there
are
strategies
for
all
of
these
within
the
plan
itself,
but
we
just
wanted
to
do
a
couple
highlights
here
in
the
presentation
to
not
take
up
too
much
time
on
the
residential
and
the
commercial
sectors
so
for
the
residential
sector,
and
we
want
to
are
in
our
planning
on
doing
a
capture,
eight
study,
and
what
that
is.
G
Is
we're
actually
going
to
pull
garbage
recycling
and
organics
carts
from
individual
homes
sort
them
out
to
find
out
of
a
hundred
percent
of
recyclables?
Where
are
they
going?
If
the
you
know,
ninety
percent
of
them
are
going
in
the
recycling,
that's
really
great.
If
sixty
percent
of
them
are
going
into
a
different
container
that
isn't
the
recycling,
we
know
where
we
have
the
greatest
opportunity
to
improve
our
education
and
outreach
and
help
meet
our
diversion
goals.
G
We
want
to
create
a
voucher
system
in
which
residents
who
participate
in
the
program
will
have
the
opportunity
to
get
access
to
some
of
the
compost
produce.
Now
these
are
just
a
couple
of
the
strategies
there
are
more
included,
but
these
are
some
of
the
ones
I
think
we're
really
excited
about
in
the
next
couple
years
and
now
for
the
commercial
in
multi-unit
sex
sector.
G
The
biggest
piece
is
that
our
current
ordinances,
we
have
a
commercial
recycling
ordinance.
We
have
a
multi-unit
recycling
ordinance,
but
they
are
not
actively
enforced
so
working
with
the
fire
inspectors
and
working
with
reg
services
to
make
sure
that
these
are
actively
enforced
when
people
are,
there
will
again
help
make
sure
that
the
people
in
those
buildings
have
the
opportunity
to
be
participating
in
diverting
waste
from
the
trash
right
now.
The
hauler
license
does
not
help
us
identify
which
haulers
we
actually
need
to
be
receiving.
G
Data
from
you
could
have
a
license
for
any
number
of
things
from
just
providing
roll-off
services
to
only
moving
hazardous
waste
to
doing
commercial
to
doing
residential.
So
we
want
to
modify
that
hauler
license
to
actually
say:
I
am
picking
up
commercial
recycling.
I
am
picking
up
commercial
garbage,
so
we
know
that
we
only
really
need
to
be
working
with
about
30
of
the
87
licensed
haulers
to
actually
get
the
data
that
we're
looking
for
to
be
able
to
track
our
progress
towards
meeting
our
diversion
goals.
G
David
had
mentioned
the
hauler
reporting
to
the
state.
They
did
make
some
modifications
from
the
first
to
the
second
year
that
will
make
it
easier
for
the
commercial
haulers
to
actually
report,
hopefully
by
city.
So
this
is
the
first
year
in
which
that
system
has
been
updated
and
we're,
hoping
that
that
data
will
give
us
a
better
snapshot
and
again
provide
us.
You
know
the
best
bang
for
our
buck
in
terms
of
moving
forward
with
our
time
and
energy
and
then,
lastly,
some
some
examples
for
both
businesses
and
multi
units
for
organics
recycling.
G
G
H
Yes,
under
Thank
You,
mr.
chairman
I,
just
wanted
to
really
express
my
appreciation
for
this
work
that
you
talked
about
going
forward
to
2020
I,
hear
a
lot
from
constituents
who
are
living
in
multifamily
buildings
about
their
desire
to
participate
in
waste
diversion
especially
organics
composting,
and
they
really
a
lot
of
folks
are
really
going
out
of
their
way.
As
you
know,
the
wedge
has
provided
a
community
partnership
in
partnership
with
the
Whittier
alliance
and
local
residents,
so
folks
are
walking
they're
organics
over
to
the
wedge
and
really
again
going
out
of
their
way.
H
So
I
think
there
would
be
high
interest
in
the
community
for
this
opportunity
and
also
I
think
as
we
look
forward
toward
implementation
of
Minneapolis
2040.
These
ideas
about
what
we
might
require
or
incentivize
in
new
construction
is
really
timely
because,
as
we
think
about
making
it
easier
to
build
more
housing,
we
also
want
to
make
sure
that
we
are
holding
those
new
buildings
to
the
standards
that
we
need
to
in
order
to
achieve
our
sustainability
and
zero
waste
and
climate
change
goals.
H
A
F
Don't
remember:
bender
took
most
of
my
thunder,
but
I
am
I,
also
hear
a
lot
of
are
really
interested
in
apartment
buildings,
I'm
doing
organics
and
I'm
also
concerned
about
what
happens
downtown
with
lots
of
the
restaurants
and
all
of
that
and,
what's
being
provided,
and
what
isn't
also
we're
working
on
a
sustainable
building
policy
on
the
city
itself,
where
we
might
recognize
it.
If
we're
giving
any
funding
for
a
project,
we
could
have
some
higher
standards
and
requirements
so
be
great
to
work.
F
This
into
that
I
did
have
one
question
just
curious
because
you
seem
to
have
people
know
a
lot
about
these
things.
Are
there
any
buildings
right
now
that
have
organics
chute
that
got
put
in
just
because
the
Builder
wanted
to
do
that,
and
so
they
have
three
shoots
instead
of
two,
and
maybe
you
could
cheer
about
them
for
a
second
mr.
G
Chair
councilmember,
Gordon,
Hennepin
County
would
honestly
be
better
to
speak
at
who
is
continuing
to
use
those
shoots,
so
there
I
do
know
of
some
buildings
that
have
built
them
in.
However,
you
know
the
wet
nature
of
organics
and
putting
that
down
a
chute.
The
the
ability
to
clean
those
shoots
is
not
necessarily
easy
and
so
I
don't
think
that
adding
another
chute
for
organics
is
necessarily
the
agreed-upon
best
practice
for
adding
organics
and
large
buildings.
So
the
plan
says
to
evaluate
a
strategy.
It
does
not
specify
a
chute
for
that
exact
reason.
F
So
I'll
push
back
to
that
on
a
little
I.
Don't
understand
why
having
all
your
food
waste
in
the
regular
garbage
chute
would
be
just
hunky-dory,
then,
because
obviously
we're
sending
yucky
wet.
You
know
food
waste
down
a
chute
already
and
have
been
for
decades,
but
are
you
aware
of
some
places
that
actually
put
in
three
chutes
or
is
it
never
do
we
think
it's
never
been
done?
Mr.
G
F
G
We
will
continue
to
engage
them
throughout
the
process,
as
we
move
forward
to
make
sure
that
their
concerns
are
heard
addressed
as
best
as
possible
in
the
way
in
which
these
strategies
rules
out
is
a
system.
That's
going
to
work
for
everyone.
So
with
that,
we
will
stand
for
any
questions
that
you
have.
A
I
will
just
highlight
the
engagement
and
education
work
sometimes
doesn't
get
highlighted,
but
I've
seen
you
out
there
doing
that
work
and
it
generates
that
excitement
and
that
participation
that
really
drives
the
numbers
at
the
end
of
the
day
and
so
keep
that
good
work
up
as
well,
and
with
that
we
have
a
receiving
file
before
us.
Any
further
discussion
see
none
all
in
favor
of
receiving
filing
report
say
I'm
a
sent
a
name.
Thank
you.
We
can
now
go
to
our
final
or
discussion
item
director
Hutchinson.
A
B
Chair
members
of
the
committee
I
am
very
pleased
to
introduce
this
next
item,
which
is
our
draft
of
the
American
with
Disabilities
Act
transition
plan
for
Public
Works.
This
city
has
a
policy
related
to
a
DA
work
and
that
policy
is
citywide.
We
are
a
subset
and
are
required
to
and
take
a
lot
of
pride
in
being
very
articulate
about
the
public
works
plan
for
ensuring
that
we
are
a
DA
compliant.
The
work
has
been
going
on
for
the
last
year,
led
by
an
extraordinary
team
of
planners
in
transportation,
planning
and
programming.
B
I
I
Just
a
little
bit
of
background
on
the
the
ad,
a
the
Americans
with
Disabilities
Act
is
a
federal
law
was
passed
in
1990
neighborhoods
discrimination
ensures
equal
opportunity
for
people
for
persons
with
disabilities.
It's
a
wide
reaching
federal
law
with
an
important
local
impacts,
as
well
as
more
than
one
in
ten
Minneapolis
residents
identified
as
having
a
disability
as
part
of
these
regulations,
local
government
agencies
with
50
or
more
employees
are
required
to
have
an
ad
a
transition
plan.
I
I
This
plan
has
five
chapters.
The
first
provides
an
overview
of
the
federal
regulations
and
how
the
city
meets
these
mandates.
The
second
focuses
on
what
we
heard
through
Public
Engagement.
The
third
is
called
a
self-evaluation
and
outlines
barriers
that
were
identified
to
this
process.
The
fourth,
the
fourth
chapter
sets
up
a
prioritization
methodology
and
the
last
chapter
provides
an
overview
of
the
methods
of
how
barriers
are
and
will
continue
to
be
removed
for
this
process.
I
There
are
many
departments
involved
in
1888
planning
at
the
city
of
Minneapolis,
neighborhood
and
community
relations
or
NCR
manages
a
citywide
plan
that
comprehensively
addresses
programs
and
services
at
the
city.
That
plan
is
called
the
ad
a
action
plan.
The
plan
has
two
separate
and
supporting
plans
that
support
the
88
action
plan.
One
of
these
is
the
ad
a
transition
plan
for
Public
Works.
It
focuses
on
access
to
the
city's
public
right
away.
Another
similar
plan
is
managed
by
finance
and
property
services.
It
manages
physical
access
to
city
owned
and
leased
facilities.
I
I
I
With
in
Minneapolis,
there
are
several
other
public
agencies
that
control
right
away:
our
own
infrastructure
within
the
city
of
Minneapolis
agencies
like
MnDOT,
Hennepin,
County,
Minneapolis,
Parks
and
Recreation
board.
They
also
have
their
own
transition
plans
are
responsible
for
providing
accessible
infrastructure
along
there
right
away.
I
This
is
not
the
first
ad
a
transition
plan
for
Public
Works.
We
had
an
earlier
plan
in
2012.
This
plan
will
serve
as
an
update
and
replace
that
plan.
The
2012
version
was
never
formally
adopted
and
due
to
some
upcoming
requirements
in
the
federal
regional
solicitation
application
process,
we
need
to
have
an
approved
plan
to
move
forward
through
that
process.
I
Since
the
2012
plan,
there's
been
a
number
of
updates
that
are
notable
to
make
an
update
to
this
plan.
We
have
a
new
subset
of
data
on
our
pedestrian,
curb
ramps
across
the
city
that
we
can
now
analyze
and
add
into
this
transition
plan,
and
it
also
ties
in
well
with
several
other
planning
efforts
that
are
coming
along.
I
There's
several
ties,
the
other
plans
within
the
city
that
are
existing,
such
as
the
80
action
plan
and
that
property
services
plan
there's
also
underway
plans.
Such
as
the
transportation
action
plan
and
the
vision,
zero
action
plan
that
have
ties
to
this
plan,
the
88
plan
is
an
important
foundational
and
complimentary
plan
to
these
upcoming
transportation
plans.
These
three
plans
work
in
tandem,
provide
transportation
to
provide
a
transportation
network
that
promotes
safety,
accessibility
and
aligns
with
our
city
goals.
I
The
direct
ad
a
transition
plan
was
developed
through
consultation,
consultation
with
three
advisory
committees
at
the
city,
including
the
Minneapolis
Advisory
Committee,
on
people
with
disabilities,
the
pedestrian
Advisory
Committee
and
the
Committee
on
Aging.
A
number
of
user
groups
that
work
directly
with
people
with
Indian
with
disabilities
were
interviewed
and
invited
to
participate
in
the
planning
process
as
well.
I
Input
to
the
plan
was
collected
through
an
open
house,
a
survey
conversations
with
advisory
committees
and
others
user
groups
and
interested
individuals.
While
more
than
half
of
survey
participants
identified
as
having
a
disability,
many
others
express
the
importance
of
this
type
of
infrastructure
for
aging
populations,
for
people
with
temporary
injuries
for
people
pushing
strollers
of
those
that
identified
as
having
a
disability.
There's
a
wide
range
of
different
types
of
disabilities
report
it
from
physical
disabilities
to
vision
or
hearing
related
challenges
from
anxiety,
autism,
mental
health,
among
others.
It's
important
for
many
folks.
I
I
I
We
also
looked
at
feedback
solicited
through
outreach
from
the
vision,
zero
engagement
process
vision.
Zero
participants
indicated
that
they
felt
that
streets
were
most
unsafe
for
people
with
disabilities
and
indicated
that
primary
concerns
around
winter
maintenance,
narrow,
sidewalks
and
obstructions
inaccessible,
curb
ramps.
I
The
third
chapter
in
the
draft
plan
focuses
on
identifying
accessibility,
barriers
of
the
public
right
away.
There's
a
series
of
recommendations
coming
out
of
this
chapter,
mostly
evaluating
new
inventory
data
that
we
have
on
accessible
pedestrian
signals
and
expanding
upon
existing
data
for
the
conditions
of
our
sidewalks
continuing
to
monitor
and
make
improvements
for
emerging
designs
and
technologies
as
we
come
across
them,
and
continue
to
work
on
improving
access
issues
for
seasonal
and
temporary
barriers
to
accessibility
such
as
pedestrian
detours
winter
maintenance.
Several
these
topics
are
further
discussed
and
will
be
the
transportation
action
plan.
I
The
fourth
chapter
outlines
AI
prioritization
framework
for
addressing
barriers,
uses
criteria
from
the
20-years
streets
funding
plan
that
are
focused
on
pedestrian
mobility,
safety
and
community
demographics
to
prioritize
infrastructure
improvements
through
an
equity
lens
infrastructure.
Improvements
are
further
categorized
by
how
closely
they
align
with
a
DA
criteria,
with
more
emphasis
placed
on
factors
that
public
feedback
indicated
our
larger
barriers
to
using
the
infrastructure
for
curb
ramps.
I
The
chapter
applies,
this
prioritization
methodology
to
the
city
on
a
citywide
basis
to
prioritize
intersections
across
the
city
and
this
map.
The
intersections
most
need
of
improvements
are
highlighted
in
orange
and
yellow.
Many
of
these
are
at
key
intersections,
where
the
receiving
ramps
were
often
not
built
historically,
recommendations
in
this
section
of
the
plan
focus
on
keeping
the
preservation
methodology
updated
as
new
data
becomes
available
and
you
criteria
are
used.
I
I
Again,
the
plan:
the
draft
plan
is
available
for
public
comment
until
December
27th.
We
have
a
few
ways.
We
build
a
comment,
there's
an
online
survey
on
our
websites,
we're
hosting
an
open
house
on
December
16th,
and
they
were
welcome
to
reach
out
to
me
with
through
phone
or
email,
to
leave
comments
on
that
plan.
Again,
we
will
make
revisions,
follow
that
comment
period
and
plan
to
bring
a
proposed
plan
back
to
council
in
early
2020.
J
You
Tara
I'm
wondering
if,
as
part
of
this,
we're
looking
at
plans
to
defend
the
infrastructure
that
we
have
built
from
utilities,
other
sort
of
destruction
of
some
of
the
a.da
components
that
we've
put
in
I've,
had
constituents
pointing
out
several
ramps
that
were
previously
good,
that
have
been
torn
up
by
the
utility
and
don't
seem
to
be
getting
replaced
in
a
timely
way
or
was
restored
to
their
functionality.
So
I'm
worried
that
we
can
build
with
this
infrastructure,
but
then
we
also
need
to
make
sure
we
have
a
plan
to
not
lose
ground.
Absolutely.
I
F
Thank
you
very
much,
I
appreciate
the
report
and
the
whole
plan
and
I've
confessed
that
I
haven't
read
through
it
all
as
carefully
as
I
should
have,
but
I
think
it's
very
it's
very
good,
very
well-written
and
now
give
us
something
to
respond
to
I
was
a
little
bit
curious
about
the
issue
of
accessibility
during
the
winter
when
I
was
reading,
the
actual
report
I
saw
that
ninety-three
percent
of
respondents
said
that
snow
and
ice
in
the
winter
is
a
major
problem,
but
it
didn't
appear
in
the
bar
graph.
F
It
was,
it
was
lumpy
other
conditions,
so
it
didn't
so
reading
the
report.
It
seemed
like
a
more
significant
concern
than
it
did
in
the
slides,
and
that's
just
to
note
that,
and
maybe
why
I'm
making
a
deal
out
of
it
right
now.
I
think
it
is
significant.
I
do
know,
there's
a
recommendation
looking
at
addressing
that
too
I
think
by
and
large
things
can
work
really
well
in
Minneapolis
for
people
to
get
around
in
terms
of
the
sidewalks
and
accessibility
for
a
lot
of
the
year.
But
we
still
have
this.
F
These
months
option
the
enormous
barrier,
especially
for
people
who
use
a
wheelchair,
or
something
like
that
just
to
get
around
and
I
think
you
highlight
some
of
that
in
the
report
and
you
talk
about
traffic
signalization,
how
people
can't
even
get
there
to
push
the
button,
and,
of
course
we
also
have
lots
of
intersections
that
you
can't
get
a
walk
sign
unless
you
can
push
the
button
which
that
and
winter
maintenance
are
two
pet
peeves
of
mine.
F
A
H
You
mr.
chair
and
I'm
happy
to
follow
up.
I
had
some
if
that
is
easier
or
better.
But
I
was
I,
had
a
couple
of
questions
about
the
prioritization
criteria
and
I'm
particularly
interested
to
know,
if
there's
anything
in
there
that
captures
sort
of
like
pedestrian
orientation
of
the
neighborhood,
whether
it
be
population
density
or
proximity
to
transit
or
proximity
to
destinations.
I
Chair
rank
members
of
the
committee,
there
are
some
criteria
pulling
from
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan
criteria
that
do
identify
population
density
destinations,
places
with
concentrated
poverty.
Some
of
those
key
pedestrians
factors
for
mobility
and
destinations
are
included
through
those
criteria.
Thank.
H
You
I
appreciate
that
I
appreciate
how
we're
balancing
that,
with
with
race,
equity
and
economic
equity
and
transportation
access,
because
a
lot
of
places
that
have
lower
population
density
or
other
you
know,
lower
density
of
destinations
are
also
places
that
we
want
to
make
sure
that
are
accessible
and
but
you
know,
then
again,
we
also
have
folks
choosing
to
live
in
neighborhoods
that
are
more
walkable
if
they
have
like
a
mobility
issue
or
their
transit
dependent.
So
I
think
that
balance
is
important
and
I
appreciate
that
it's
not
sure
they're.
Thank
you.
Thank.
F
I
just
found
this
really
interesting.
Paragraph
I'd
like
to
read
aloud
that's
in
the
report,
snow
or
other
winter
maintenance
issues
was
a
major
barrier
for
ninety
three
percent
of
respondents
with
disabilities
and
80%
of
respondents
without
disabilities.
The
need
for
improved
winter
maintenance
on
sidewalks
and
crossing
streets
was
mentioned
numerous
times
in
the
comments
for
every
question
and
generated
more
comments
than
any
other
topic.
I.
A
Think
that
makes
the
point
rather
solidly
and
thoroughly
any
other
comments,
or
questions
really
appreciate
the
work
echo
I
think
well,
I
think
councillor
Fletcher
said
it
was
a
very
good
presentation
of
information,
very
well
organized,
and
so
there
anyone
has
any
doubts
that
we
have
a
plan
moving
forward
and
what
the
contents
of
that
plan
are.
I
think
we
have
it
from
today's
presentation,
so
really
appreciate
that
and
yeah
this
in
so
many
ways
is
the
pinnacle
of
our
work
for
the
plans
that
this
coordinates
with.
A
Not
only
does
it
coordinate
with,
but
if
you
think
of
our
Complete
Streets
policy
or
kind
of
our
guiding
policy
that
hovers
above
all
of
the
other
ones.
This
is
the
pinnacle
that
were
quite
literally
and,
and
we
are
I
think
the
city
is
judged
by
how
we
do
this
work
more
than
almost
any
other
category
and
I
think
councilmember
Gordon
might
be
a
great
partner
in
terms
of
creating
graphs
for
the
future
report,
he's
really
good
ideas
about
highlighting
data
and
information
that
could
be
your
own
graph
weather
information.
