the
project
consists
of
reconstructing
42nd
street
east
between
46
ave,
south
and
west
river
parkway
and
0.07
miles
of
edmond
boulevard
from

G
The
total
project
cost

2.9
million
dollars.
The
total
street
reconstruction
assessment
is
553
thousand
dollars

uniform
assessment
rates
and
the
influence
area
method
that
includes
2.66
for
non-residential
and
0.88
cents
for
residential
areas.
These
assessments
are
payable
over
a
20-year

the
city
funding
sources
are
net
debt
bonds,
general
fund
and
storm
water
fund.
C
staff
has
conducted
numerous
outreach
activities
throughout
the
planning
and
design
of
the
project.
A
virtual
pre-assessment
meeting
to
provide
an
overview
of
the
project,
discuss
planned
improvements
and
answer.
Any
questions
related
to
the
assessment
method
and
process
was
held
on
march
23rd
with
four
people
attending
today.
G
B
B
H
Good
afternoon,
mr
chair
and
members
of
the
committee,
my
name
is
stuart
elger,
I'm
an
attorney,
and
I
am
appearing
on
behalf
of
mini
academy,
simply
to
note
that
we
have
filed
a
letter
of
objection
to
the
special
assessment.
The
letter
sets
out
the
the
basis
for
for
the
objection,
including
that
the
that
the
benefits,
if
any
of
the
property
are
less
than
the
proposed
assessment
amount.
H
B
Thank
you
for
that
and
objections
noted
and
in
the
record
I
don't
see
anyone
else
on
the
list.
Is
there
anyone
listening
that
wants
to
press
star,
6
and
address
the
committee.
B
I
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
guess
this
is
more
just
a
question,
but
I
know
that
the
meha
academy,
as
mentioned
by
the
two
speakers,
did
submit
this
letter
of
objection,
which
I
had
a
chance
to
look
at.
I
We
got
it
sent
out
by
our
clerk
beforehand
and
I
don't
know
if
it
makes
sense
to
ask
for
the
city
attorney
to
touch
on
any
of
these
pieces
or
if
this
is
simply
more
for
our
two
speakers
who
showed
up
today
just
to
preserve
those
rights,
because
I
know
there
were
some
pieces
in
the
assessment
or
in
the
letter
that
raise
concerns,
and
so
I
guess.
I
B
Thank
you
for
that
councilmember
johnson.
My
my
assumption.
It's
the
latter,
but
I
will
let
director
jelly
comment
if
he
feels
it's
necessary
from
the
staff
perspective
to
councilmember
johnson's
point.
F
Yeah,
thank
you
chair
right
and
council
member
johnson.
I
would
say
you
know
over
the
course
of
a
construction
season
and
with
the
assessments
we
will
run
into
situations
like
this,
where
you
know
as
part
of
the
process
objections
made,
and
then
that
allows
the
party
and
the
city
to
continue
the
conversation
around
the
concerns
noted
in
the
letter.
B
Thank
you.
I
will
note
council.
President
bender
has
been
with
us
for
a
while,
as
she
came
into
this
meeting
from
another
one
councilmember
bender
did
you
want
to
comment
or
you're
just
announcing
your
attendance
in
the
chat.
B
Good,
okay,
any
other
deliberation
on
this
item.
That's
been
moved,
see
none.
I
will
ask
the
clerk
to
confirm,
via
the
role.
D
I
C
I
B
B
K
K
K
This
is
based
on
the
2021
uniform
assessment
rates.
In
the
influencery
method.
These
assessments
will
be
payable
over
a
20-year
period.
Other
funding
for
the
project
includes
491
thousand
dollars
in
municipal
state
aid
and
three
million
six
hundred
twenty
nine
thousand
dollars
in
cash
transfers
and
storm
tour
funds.
K
City
staff
have
conducted
numerous
outreach
activities
for
the
project.
Most
recently,
a
pre-assessment
meeting
was
held
on
march
22nd,
where
we
answered
questions
regarding
the
assessment
method
and
process
after
the
march
pre-assessment
meeting
was
discovered
that
not
all
of
the
properties
when
the
within
the
influence
area
of
the
project
had
received
public
hearing
notices.
B
Thank
you
for
that.
Are
there
any
questions
from
the
committee
that
pertains
to
the
presentation
from
staff
not
seen
any?
I
will
open
the
public
hearing.
I
notice
in
the
queue
there's
indication
of
no
registered
speakers.
If
there's
anyone
on
the
call
that
wishes
to
speak
press
star
6
to
unmute
and
name
yourself
and
your
address.
B
C
B
F
Thank
you
chair.
The
next
item
is
is
actually
the
next
two,
so
we'll
we're
combining
a
presentation
on
the
2020
pedestrian
advisory
committee,
annual
report
in
the
2020
bicycle
advisory
annual
report
and
so
matthew,
deardahl,
our
bicycle
and
pedestrian
coordinator
will
give
an
overview
and
then
introduce
our
guests.
L
Thank
you,
director,
jelly
hello,
mr
chair
reich
committee
members.
My
name
is
matthew,
deardahl,
I'm
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
coordinator
in
the
transportation,
planning
and
programming
division
of
public
works,
as
the
title
slide
suggests.
This
is
an
annual
presentation
to
the
tmpw
committee
of
the
city
council.
L
Next
slide,
please,
as
I
mentioned,
my
name
is
matthew
as
a
reminder,
one
of
the
big
roles
of
my
job
is
to
manage
the
pac
mbac
and
coordinate
between
what
I'm
hearing
in
the
committee
meetings
and
with
public
works
and
others
I
just
wanted
to.
I
guess,
remind
the
group
of
that
role
and
then
we'll
turn
it
to
abigail
to
introduce
yourself.
M
Abigail
johnson,
she
her
pronouns
and
I'm
the
pedestrian
advisory
committee
chair.
N
L
I
want
to
particularly
acknowledge
their
role
in
learning
and
applying
the
lessons.
They've
learned
for
the
administrative
and
technical
aspects
of
virtual
meetings
from
the
pac
in
attendance
with
us
today
is
bob
olson
peter
vader,
christopher
hofer,
julia
curran,
neil
baxter
and
suzanne
murphy
from
the
bac.
We
have
georgiana
yantos,
janice,
gueppner
dan
miller,
aaron,
shaffer,
matthew,
hendricks,
dan
booty
and
kyle
larson,
and
there
may
be
others
that
I
haven't
heard
from
as
well.
L
I'd
like
to
start
with
brief
context
about
the
past
year,
we
suspended
meetings
for
several
months
in
2020
due
to
the
pandemic,
as
the
clerk's
office
was
setting
up
systems
for
virtual
meetings.
Getting
going
on
the
microsoft
teams
platform
was
a
learning
curve
in
many
ways,
as
I'm
sure
you
can
all
remember
as
well.
L
L
So
I
believe
one
of
the
most
important
parts
of
my
introduction
is
to
thank
the
members
for
their
service
to
the
city.
As
just
mentioned,
this
has
been
a
particularly
challenging
year
and
their
commitment
to
this
work
has
been
impressive
and
to
them
I
sincerely
want
to
say
thank
you.
I
appreciate
you:
you
have
a
full
list
or
a
list
of
the
full
membership
along
with
a
summary
of
each
resolution.
L
L
This
has
been
an
unprecedented
turnover,
at
least
in
my
six
years
on
the
job,
and
I
think
one
of
the
reasons
that
there
was
many
long-term
members
that
felt
it
was
time
to
to
leave
their
posts
and
give
somebody
else
an
opportunity.
L
The
combined
service
of
this
group
to
the
city
is
truly
amazing,
and
now
we
have
so
many
new
members
with
different
experiences
and
perspectives
and
that's
been
really
exciting
as
well
to
welcome
the
new
folks
on
the
bac
next
slide
and
then
I'll
just
note
the
legend
of
bac
member
nick
mason.
L
L
His
passion
and
commitment
to
the
bc
over
those
years
could
be
considered
unmatched.
We
were
able
to
give
him
a
semi-proper
virtual
send-off
in
december.
However,
we
are
looking
forward
to
a
celebration
bike
ride
at
some
point
this
year,
when
the
time
is
right
with
that
I'll
turn
it
over
to
our
chairs
for
their
report.
Thank.
N
You
matthew
some
big
shoes
to
fill
for
me
on
the
bicycle
advisory
committee
for
sure.
On
behalf
of
myself
and
abigail,
I
want
to
thank
you.
Committee,
chair,
reich
council
president
bender
council
members
interim
director
jelly
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
all
today.
Next
slide.
N
N
N
N
Transportation
is
the
largest
source
of
climate
emissions
in
minnesota,
and
minneapolis
has
the
biggest
opportunity
to
change
it.
Importantly,
climate
is
a
sliding
scale,
proposition
every
degree
of
emissions
reductions.
We
do
now
spares
us
some
degree
of
harm.
Later
last.
We
have
to
have
a
just
transition
when
we
chase
shiny
new
technology
like
electric
or
autonomous
vehicles.
Those
still
have
huge
impacts
on
our
climate
on
our
land
use
patterns
on
the
financial
costs
that
families
face
evs
and
avs
don't
get
us
closer
to
vision,
zero.
N
Our
transportation
system
impacts
access
to
education,
employment,
cultural
and
civic
spaces.
Daily
needs
social
connections.
Those
are
the
stakes
it's
not
about
creating
just
any
future,
but
one
worth
living
that
future
needs
us
to
prioritize,
walking,
biking
and
transit
next
slide.
These
stakes
require
us
to
recognize
that
the
present
more
in
is
not
neutral.
The
status
quo
is
a
choice
and
prioritizing
cars
is
not
a
neutral
position.
There's
no
such
thing
as
neutral
when
it
comes
to
our
public
spaces.
N
But
while
our
policies
are
visionary,
our
practices
aren't
this
larger
visual
is
a
graph
of
vehicle
miles.
Travel
vmt
in
minneapolis
over
the
last
15
or
so
years.
Vmt
directly
impacts
climate
emissions,
which
is
a
major
part
of
why
we
started
passing
transportation
related
policies.
Over
a
decade
ago.
N
We've
passed
all
these
incredible
plans
and
policies,
but
this
chart
shows
our
vmt
is
more
or
less
the
same
as
it
was
15
years
ago.
Other
reports
from
the
city
similarly
show
that
on-road
transportation
emissions
have
basically
stayed
static,
and
it's
not
because
we
haven't
had
the
technology
like
in
other
emission
sectors.
N
We
need
that
time
in
other
emission
sectors
where
the
transition
will
take
longer
or
the
technology
doesn't
exist.
Yet
the
job
of
the
pac
and
the
bac
is
to
follow
these
policy
mandates
to
the
best
of
our
ability
and
to
provide
accountability
to
the
city
as
we
build
our
streets
following
are
just
a
few
examples
of
how
we
did
that
in
2020
next
slide.
N
M
Thanks
alyssa,
as
we've
already
noted,
the
status
quo
is
not
a
neutral
choice.
We
know
it
actively
causes
harm
because
we've
passed
policies
and
plans
that
point
out
that
harm.
So
what
does
this
harmful
status
quo?
Look
like
in
action
next
slide,
I'm
going
to
highlight
one
project
presented
to
the
bac
and
pac
this
year
to
show
you
where
the
status
quo
process
and
methodology
is
problematic.
M
M
M
This
stretch
of
blazedale
is
on
the
high
injury
network,
and
it
also
was
before
it
got
its
initial
bike
lanes.
So
the
impact
of
redesigning
it
again
is
unknown.
Blaisdell's
most
dangerous
intersection
is
at
lake
street.
It
was
labeled
a
priority
intersection
in
the
pedestrian
crash
study.
It's
number
six
on
the
list
of
intersections
with
the
highest
total
pedestrian
crashes
next
slide.
M
However,
blaisdell
is
being
redesigned
this
year,
keeping
the
two
vehicle
travel
lanes
in
one
direction
through
several
blocks
of
the
corridor,
specifically
around
the
intersection
at
lake
street
two
lane.
One
ways
as
you
can
see
from
this
graphic
from
the
pedestrian
crash
study
are
twice
as
dangerous
as
one
lane.
One
ways
when
it
comes
to
the
risk
of
crashes.
M
M
In
addition
to
likely
not
reducing
crash
risk,
this
project
at
blaisdell
likely
won't
reduce
vehicle
miles
traveled
or
vmt,
because
it
takes
no
vehicle
travel
lanes
away
in
its
busiest
section.
So
right
out
of
the
gate
of
2021,
we're
failing
our
transportation
action
plan
goals
of
reducing
vmt
on
this
project.
M
M
M
Street
crashes
kill
residents
every
year
in
minneapolis,
which
the
visit
vision,
zero
crash
study
shows
are
disproportionately
bypack
residents
and
low-income
residents
crash
sites
are
also
most
concentrated
in
areas
with
more
residents
with
low
income.
The
current
way
street
redesign
projects
are
chosen,
funded
and
designed,
won't
change
this
reality
nor
meet
our
vision,
zero
goals
and
projects.
We
see
won't
meet
the
reduction
of
vehicle
miles
traveled
or
carbon
emissions
again
disproportionately
affecting
historically
marginalized
communities.
M
N
First,
we
have
to
move
faster,
as
we
saw
earlier.
Minneapolis
has
been
setting
policies
and
making
plans
around
sustainable
transportation
for
over
a
decade,
but
as
a
society
we've
been
ignoring
warnings
about
climate
change,
since
the
1930s
that's
almost
100
years,
we
didn't
start
even
building
our
massive
highway
network
in
earnest
until
the
1950s
decades
after
scientists
were
first
warning
us
about
climate
change.
N
If
we
started
really
working
on
reducing
our
emissions
decades
ago,
our
society
would
have
had
a
lot
of
time
to
cut
them
in
half,
but
every
second,
we
wait
to
make
the
transformative
change
that
is
needed.
Our
emissions
climb
and
our
time
frame
for
dealing
with
those
increased
emissions
is
shorter
and
shorter.
N
N
N
Second,
we
must
champion
transformative
leadership.
Our
policies,
the
last
few
years
have
gotten
a
lot
more
visionary
and
former
public
works
director.
Robin
hutchison
was
key
to
that
with
even
more
rapid
change
needed.
We
need
a
public
works
director
who
can
build
on
that
legacy
and
be
an
even
more
visionary,
change-oriented
leader
next
slide.
M
Third,
we
have
to
put
our
money
where
our
mouth
is.
We
have
a
ton
of
work
to
do
and
we're
still
spending
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
maintaining
the
status
quo
for
cars.
We
need
to
stop
funding
cars.
We
must
become
comfortable
with
more
congestion
and
reroute
vehicles
to
make
spaces
for
people.
We
must
act
with
vast
system-wide
change
at
a
rapid
scale.
M
We
must
induce
behavior
change
and
prioritize
truly
prioritize
those
who,
for
myriad
reasons,
already
move
around
without
vehicles.
This
will
also
be
a
step
towards
more
justly
distributed
funding.
We
have
to
fund
our
priorities
and
we
must
do
it
with
the
equity
so
long,
harmfully
ignored
by
the
status
quo.
We
have
to
champion
walking
rolling
biking
and
transit.
We
have
to
have
a
public
works
department
that
will
act
on
policy
next
slide.
N
Fourth,
we
must
pursue
what
is
right,
not
what
is
easy,
as
abigail
demonstrated.
The
process
we
use
to
design
streets
doesn't
reflect
our
visionary
policies.
We
adhere
to
process
over
the
known
needed
outcomes
when
a
design
comes
to
the
bac
or
the
pac
at
30
percent,
and
we
comment
that
something
transformational
is
needed
here.
We're
told
it's
too
late.
N
We
see
that
over
and
over
again
a
resistance
to
the
transformative
change
that
is
needed
because
our
process
doesn't
allow
for
it.
We've
heard
so
many
things
a
street
like
that
is
not
in
the
street
design
guide.
We
put
something
in
the
regional
solicitation
and
now
we're
stuck.
We
don't
have
a
policy
on
that
traffic
counts
require
we
do
something
different
we've
already
fixed
that
intersection.
In
the
last
five
years.
We
have
to
keep
enforcement
because
we
don't
have
another
solution.
That
project
is
already
scheduled
for
construction.
So
it's
too
late
for
design
changes.
N
M
M
M
Two
george
floyd
square
public
works
proposals
for
this
intersection
are
untimely
and
cruel.
Putting
cars
back
on
the
street
is
not
a
remedy.
For
quote
safety.
Forcing
our
community
in
a
pedestrian
space
is
antithetic
to
city
transportation
policy
and
won't
solve
anything.
You
can't
pave
over
injustice
yet
again.
Instead,
work
with
the
community
to
engage
in
ways
that
will
bring
long-term
justice
uses
of
our
public
right-of-ways,
our
public
gathering
spaces
impact
how
we
live
our
everyday
lives.
M
N
Last,
we
have
to
rebalance
the
entire
system
right
now.
Public
works
is
trying
to
take
our
visionary
transportation
policies
and
apply
them
with
varying
degrees
of
success
to
individual
projects,
but
up
applying
those
policies
to
isolated
designs
when
the
need
is
for
system-wide
changes
is
actually
a
huge
problem.
We
don't
redesign
all
of
our
streets.
Every
year
we
have
1100
miles
of
streets
in
minneapolis
and
then
an
average
year
we
might
reconstruct
10
of
those
street
miles.
Do
some
ads
as
maintenance
activities
on
another
30.
N
N
If
our
goal
is
to
have
60
of
our
trips
across
the
city
be
sustainable,
but
we're
only
making
changes
on
a
few
dozen
miles
of
our
streets
each
year
and
we're
not
even
explicitly
building
vmt
reduction
into
that
planning.
That
basically
gets
us
nowhere
in
climate
first,
because
the
remaining
percentage
of
streets
accommodates
vmt
at
the
same
level.
But
second,
because
people
need
a
functioning
integrated
system,
they
can
rely
on
to
shift
their
travel
behavior.
The
same
way,
people
right
now
rely
on
our
system
of
streets
with
their
car.
N
M
There
has
been
some
incredible
work
done
at
public
works
over
the
last
decade,
but
we
have
a
lot
left
to
do
in
a
very
short
time
frame
in
which
to
do
it.
The
pack
and
the
back
are
your
partners
in
this
work.
So
we
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
to
you
today
and
are
excited
about
continuing
to
work
together
toward
a
more
just
joyful
and
sustainable
future
for
everyone
in
minneapolis.
M
B
L
Oh,
I
was
just
gonna
say
mr
chair
turn
it
over
to
your
director
jelly.
I
think
that
concludes
our
our
piece.
B
Oh,
thank
you
for
that
director
jelly.
Did
you
want
the
floor.
F
B
Okay,
thank
you.
Councilmember
gordon.
D
Yeah,
thank
you.
I
just
want
to
really
appreciate
the
challenge.
I
want
to
appreciate
the
presentation
I
think
you've
given
me
some
things
to
think
about
and
to
consider.
D
I
welcome
us
getting
pushed
to
do
more
and
to
do
better
and
really
appreciate
the
approach
you
took
to
your
presentation
today.
I
feel
motivated
and
I
can't
really
disagree
with
anything
you're
saying
and
it's
I
think
we
have
a
challenging.
I
guess
road,
you
don't
mind
the
metaphor
ahead
of
us,
because
I'm
not
necessarily
saying
that
what
you
presented.
D
This
is
a
consensus
viewpoint
of
all
the
people
in
minneapolis,
but
I
do
think
it
is
a
consistent
perspective
to
where
we've
been
going
and
where
our
complete
streets
policy
and
these
other
pieces
are,
and
I
think
we
do
need
to
start
putting
it
up,
putting
it
out
there
and
making
these
changes.
I
really
like
the
whole
idea
about
hennepin
2
and
the
fact
that
you're
saying
here's
some
things
we
can
do
right
now,
let's
make
sure
to
take
another,
look
and
really
challenge
ourselves
to
move
forward.
So
thank
you
so
much.
B
For
that
comment,
counselor
gordon
council,
president
bender.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
It's
similar
to
councilmember
gordon.
I.
I
also
wanted
to
thank
the
volunteers
who
serve
on
our
committees
and
I'm
excited
to
see
all
the
new
energy
and
new
folks
who've
stepped
up
to
volunteer
a
significant
amount
of
their
time
to
help
shape
infrastructure
that
the
city
has
at
least
with
the
city
system
full
control
over
and
I
absolutely
agree-
I
mean
streets,
make
up
25
of
the
space
in
our
city.
It
is
something
that
you
know.
J
We
have
rules
to
follow
stadium
standards,
some
county
roads,
some
state
roads,
but
that
aside,
we
have
so
much
control
over
what
we
do
with
our
street
system
as
a
city
government-
and
I
I
agree
that
it-
it
is
important
that
we
step
up
to
the
challenge
in
and
meeting
our
goals
and
our
vision
of
using
that
space
to
meet
race,
equity
and
climate
change
goals.
J
Like
councilman
gordon
alluded
to.
We
receive
an
enormous
amount
of
pushback
from
constituents
from
business
community
representatives
from
folks
in
the
community,
who
are
very
vocal
in
opposition
to
anything
that
affects
parking
space
traffic
patterns
regularly
and
constantly,
and
so
I
think
the
part
about
you
know
folks
mentioning
that
they're
willing
to
be
partners
and
helping
build
the
public
case
for
change
and
to
be
supporters
of
making
the
case
for
change
is
really
important
and
as
someone
who's
leaving
office
at
the
end
of
this
year,
I'll
say
you
know.
J
The
political
support
is
only
as
strong
as
the
public
support
for
change.
And
so
I
think
it's
really
important
to
see
like
I
said
folks
who
are
willing
to
volunteer
their
time,
who
are
making
the
case
in
a
compelling
way
who
are
using
data.
Who
are
there
to
support
the
staff
who
are
working
to
do
the
right
thing?
Who
are
willing
to
support
the
elected
officials
who
are
willing
to
to
support
change
and
again
knowing.
J
There
are
many
different
perspectives
in
our
community,
including
folks
who
really
don't
want
to
see
change
in
the
street
system?
Who
really
don't
want
to
see
us
remove
parking
or
remove
travel
capacity
in
our
streets
and
then
just
knowing
all
the
reasons
that
that
the
system
we
have
in
place
today
isn't?
Is
it
working
and
all
the
reasons
that
we
need
to
continue
to
pursue
change?
So
thanks
again
and
excited
to
see
the
new
leadership
and
all
of
the
excitement
in
the
bicycle
and
pedestrian
advisory
committees?
J
B
B
If
not,
I
will
echo
the
comments
made
just
by
my
colleagues
on
the
committee
here.
I
always
look
forward
to
these
reports
every
year.
I
do
think
there
is
a
partnership
that
that
happens
with
with
advocacy
policy
making
and
project
implementation,
and
this
is
a
critical
part
of
that.
B
I
will
say
the
the
pace
setting
and
the
sort
of
truth
telling
that
these
groups
have
always
served
as
clearly
that
role
is
still
being
honored
and
highlighted
and
if
not
amplified
and
amplified
for
due
to
the
cause
of
urgency,
and
I
think
that
case
has
certainly
been
made
in
this
presentation
rather
well
in
terms
of
stated
purpose
and
urgency
of
implementation
and
what
it
means
to
broader
issues,
not
just
moving
around
multimodal,
but
also
the
very
heart
of
it
all
is
the
environment
in
our
communities
and
livability.
B
B
A
commitment
to
honoring
and
celebrating
mr
mason's
support
that
notion
of
the
our
modern
committees
that
transformation
I
very
early
on,
saw
that
transformation
and
it's
been
so
valuable
in
terms
of
of
how
we've
been
able
to
interact
with
the
two
advisory
groups,
which
are
as
council,
member
or
council,
president
bender
alluded
to
our
incredible
time:
commitments
and
volunteerism
and
insight
in
and
having
a
finished
product
in
the
form
of
this
report,
I
think,
speaks
to
to
that
level
of
detail.
B
Skill
and
commitment.
So
all
that's
been
on
parade
and
I
think
my
colleagues
shared
their
appreciation,
which
I'm
sure,
shared
by
by
all
and
also
staff.
With
that,
I
believe
I
see
council,
member
johnson.
I
I
My
predecessor
did
who
served
in
the
role,
and
it
was
a
wise
choice
and
of
of
her
and
certainly
something
that
I
was
you
know
couldn't
say
no
to,
because
nick
is
just
such
incredible
contribution
to
the
bac
into
that
work
and
so
really
excited
to
see
his
service
highlighted
here,
and
I
know,
we've
got
a
great
appointee
brie
who
is
on
the
bac
now
and
certainly
can't
replace
nick
but
is
bringing
her
own
her
own
contributions
and
values
to
the
work
as
well,
and
also
just
want
to
say
for
the
presentation
that
I
really
appreciate
this
and
the
openness
to
speak.
I
From
this
perspective,
around
bicycle
advisory
committee
and
the
pedestrian
advisory
committee-
and
that's
what
these
committees
are
there
to
do
is
advise
us,
and
I
know
that
there's
like
a
level
of
candidness
with
this
presentation,
which
I
personally
found
refreshing
with
that,
because
I
think
there's
a
lot
of
advisory
committees
just
to
name
this.
I
They
feel
like
they're
not
being
listened
to
necessarily
by
policy
makers
or
by
departments,
and
I
I
think
that
the
bac
and
the
pc
are
not
shy
about
speaking
up
and
advocating,
and
that's
what
they're
here
to
do,
and
I
appreciate
it
and
and
wanted
to
express
that
gratitude
for
that
as
well.
Thank
you.
B
Thank
you
for
that
council
member
johnson.
Anyone
else
before
we
move
to
receive
and
file
see
none.
I
will
move
to
receive
and
file
and
if
there's
no
objection
we
can
move
to
the
next
discussion
item
see
no
objection
to
the
receiving
and
filing
for
the
clerk.
F
Thank
you
chair.
Our
final
item
is
2021
vision,
zero
annual
report
and
ethan
foley.
Our
vision,
zero
program
coordinator,
will
give
the
presentation.
A
A
A
A
So
2020
was
a
challenging
year
for
for
our
city
for
the
world,
and
we
see
that
reflected
in
our
streets
and
street
safety
in
complex
ways.
So
the
one
side
we
had
17
people
who
were
killed
in
traffic
crashes
on
streets
in
minneapolis
last
year,
it's
the
highest
since
2013,
and
certainly
higher
than
recent
years.
A
At
the
same
time,
with
less
driving,
we
saw
fewer
overall
crashes,
fewer,
severe
crashes
and
and
the
lowest
number
of
bicycle
and
pedestrian
crashes
in
that
week
in
any
year,
we
can
compare
the
data
to
so
at
least
a
generation
or
more,
and-
and
so
I
you're
gonna,
see,
I
think
this
reflected
in
different
ways
and
what
does
it
mean
going
forward
so
next
slide.
Please.
A
We
see
the
impact
of
covid.
If
we
look
at
this
month-to-month,
this
is
severe
and
fatal
crashes.
Green
is
2020.
The
blue
is
the
average
of
the
previous
four
years
and
you
can
see
after
the
shutdown
orders
in
march
that
there
was
really
a
sustained
reduction
in
severe
fatal
crashes
in
all
crashes
for
a
number
of
months
there.
A
After
the
unrest
and
all
the
the
trauma
that
I
think
people
felt
throughout
the
city
with
a
lot
of
things,
people
were
processing,
we
see
actually
that
it
went
higher
for
several
months
and
then
drop
down
below
average
again,
and
I
so
you
see
the
complexities
of
this,
both
less
driving
and
the
the
the
safety
benefits
of
that
with
other
things
going
on
in
people's
lives
and
the
stress
next
slide.
Please.
A
A
So
if
we
look
at
it
across
the
city,
this
map
is
severe
and
fatal
crashes
last
year
and
you
can
see
that
in
our
southwest
sector
of
the
city,
so
west
of
35w,
south
35th
street,
we
had
zero
severe
injury
or
fatal
crashes
last
year
and
that's
great
and
we
know
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and
and
there
and
elsewhere,
and
I
think
it
speaks
to
you.
We
see
the
disproportionate
impacts
of
covid
in
this
space
as
well.
We
always
have
despair.
A
We've
had
disparities
in
traffic
crashes,
which
are
more
concentrated
in
areas
of
concentrated
poverty,
where
a
majority
of
people
are
people
of
color
and
that's
been
true
for
the
last
decade,
but
that
was
exasperated
exacerbated
last
year
and-
and
that
was
especially
true
on
the
north
side,
where
60
of
our
fatal
crashes
happened
in
2020,
and
so
there
is,
I
think,
more.
We
have
to
to
work
in
urgency
there,
and
we
also
have
to
recognize
that
we
can
work
with
urgency.
A
We
can
work
on
our
streets
and
the
other
things
we
can
control
in
the
short
term,
and
this
is
complicated
and
there
are
lots
of
other
factors
that
go
into
this
as
well
as
many
of
the
other
issues.
So
it's
not
immune
from
the
other
conversations
around
justice,
around
access
about
opportunity
about
stress
and
trauma
and
all
those
things
as
well.
Next
slide.
Please.
A
A
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
said
we
were
going
to
do
in
the
vision.
Zero
action
plan
is
make
rapid,
quick,
build
safety
improvements
on
our
high
injury
streets
in
minneapolis.
So
we
started
that
in
2020
with
existing
resources,
and
we
installed
improvements
at
29
intersections
and
work
with
the
county
to
do
a
safety
conversion
on
cedar
avenue
south,
and
you
can
see
a
map
of
where
these
were
next
slide.
A
Please
we
are
working
to
expand
that
with
the
vision,
zero
program,
which
was
approved
as
part
of
the
capital
budget,
and
so
in
the
next
two
years,
we'll
be
installing
quick,
build
safety
improvements
on
more
than
20
miles
of
high
injury
streets
in
the
city.
So
these,
as
you
saw
on
the
previous
slide,
are
mostly
done
with
flexible
posts,
bollards
and
paint,
so
we're
really
excited
to
be
expanding
these
and
the
goal
with
these.
Just
so
you
get
a
sense
of
it.
Is
it
isn't?
A
Gonna
be
just
an
intersection
here,
an
intersection
there
you're
going
along
one
of
these
streets.
You're
going
to
see
it
regularly
at
all
the
intersections,
it's
going
to
feel
different
going
along
the
street,
it's
going
to
be
not
picking
and
choosing
which
intersections
to
improve,
but
rather
really
try
to
transform
the
safety
of
these
corridors
next
slide.
Please.
A
We
also,
as
you
know,
have
reduced
speed
limits.
Last
year
there
was
a
lot
that
go
went
along
with
this.
A
couple
other
things
I'll
highlight
from
things
you've
heard
previously.
Is
that
we,
you
know,
we
worked
with
the
city
of
st
paul
to
really
have
some
communications
education
around
this.
This
was
tougher
with
covet,
I
will
admit,
but
we,
the
20s
plenty
yard
signs,
were
really
popular.
We
distributed
3000
in
minneapolis
and
we
will
be
doing
those
again
this
spring,
and
so
those
will
be
available
soon.
A
We
also
worked
with
some
community
groups
on
some
focused
engagement,
making
sure
that
we're
reaching
folks
from
different
cultural
communities,
and
so
here's
an
example
of
a
poster
that
the
west
west
bank
business
association
did
really
working
with
in
reaching
the
cedar
riverside
community
in
culturally
relevant
in
any
language
messages
as
well.
So
we'll
we'll
be
following
up
with
more
work
in
this
education
area
as
well.
Next
slide,
please.
A
This
map
shows
really
the
how
significant
the
speed
limit
change
was
in
before
and
after
the
yellow,
being
the
30
mile,
an
hour
streets
before,
and
the
gray
being
the
20
mile,
an
hour
streets
and
purple
25..
So
the
vast
majority
of
streets
in
minneapolis,
all
of
the
ones
under
city
jurisdiction,
had
speed
limits.
Lowered
next
slide.
Please
we
know
that
back
one
slide,
please.
A
A
What
I
talked
earlier
about
the
the
changes
from
la
in
2020,
a
lot
of
that
was
based
in
excessive
speeding
and
reckless
driving,
and
so
we
know
we
have
more
to
do
to
support
safe
speeds,
and
we
are
doing
that
within
the
street
design
guide,
which
includes
some
specific
things
to
to
help
support
the
those
those
slower
speed
limits
as
well
as
we
will
soon
have
updated
traffic
calming
procedures
coming
up
coming
out.
A
So
we're
excited
to
keep
moving
this
forward
with
more
streets
that
support
the
speed
limit
next
slide.
Please.
A
We
also
completed
some
initial
look
at
automated
traffic
enforcement
following
up
from
our
vision,
zero
action
plan,
which
identified
this
as
a
strategy
really
to
help
inform
potential
future
implementation
on
this
topic.
A
I
just
note
that
work
in
this
area
there
does
need
to
be
legislative
change
to
enable
automated
traffic
enforcement,
we're
that's
an
uncertain
timeline
and
that
will
take
state-level
partnership
with
many
agencies
and
and
other
cities,
and
we'll
come
back
with
more
when
we
have
enabling
legislation,
but
we
we
have
a
good
framework
to
work
from
now.
So
next
slide.
Please
also.
I
know
that
you
hear
a
lot
about
traffic
enforcement.
A
We
we
hear
about
it
from
both
sides,
and
I
know
that
the
council
passed
a
staff
direction
in
this
space
in
late
in
late
2019,
we
are
planning
to
to
relaunch
the
vision,
zero
traffic
enforcement
working
group
in
2021
when
mpd
staff
capacity
allows,
and
we
we
recognize
that
part
of
the
things
that
happened
last
year
is
the
killing
of
george
floyd
changed
the
conversation
around
this
area
that
impacted
our
traffic
enforcement
working
group,
and
you
know
we
see
that
reflected
and
we're
working
to
coordinate
within
the
reimagining
public
safety
work,
but
and
last
year
was
abnormal
in
this
space
as
well.
A
But
I
wanted
to
let
you
know
what
happened
so,
unsurprisingly,
given
the
demands
on
police
resources.
Last
year,
traffic
crashes
were
down
significantly.
We
also
saw
a
continuation
and
actually
expanded
disparity
there
and
who
was
pulled
over
in
traffic
related
stops,
and
so
that
was
the
highest
in
recent
years
as
well.
A
So
those
are
the
really
the
things
capacity
for
traffic,
important
traffic
enforcement
work
and
addressing
disparities
and
lack
of
community
trust
around
these
issues
are
the
central
part
of
the
staff
direction
in
the
working
group
that
we'll
be
getting
back
to
as
soon
as
possible,
so
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
that
as
well.
So
with
that,
I'm
happy
to
take
any
questions
and
you
can
move
to
the
next
slide.
Thank
you.
A
All
right
well,
that
concludes
the
update
on
the
vision,
zero
action
plan
and
progress
to
date,
we'll
keep
working
rapidly
to
to
improve
the
safety
on
our
streets.
Thank
you.
So
much
for
the
time.
B
Thank
you
for
the
presentation.
It's
always
good
to
get
this
update
on
this
very
important
work,
sort
of
enthusiasm
that
you
bring
to
it.
Mr
foley,
is
always
kind
of
an
inspiration
for
me.
I
will
also
say
it's.
I
think
it's
very
critical
and
important
that
we're
not
only
just
making
legislative
requests,
but
I
think
we're
leading
in
that
conversation
with
the
research
that
you
and
your
team
have
pulled
together.
B
It
actually,
I
think,
will
impact
the
outcome,
not
in
only
in
terms
of
getting
the
outcome
that
we
hope
for,
but
but
what
that
outcome
might
even
look
like
and
how
helpful
it
might
be.
So
just
as
one
really
clear
example
of
how
the
groundwork
that
you're
doing
is
playing
key
roles
as
we
move
forward
with
other
parts
of
this,
and
I
know
that
your
commitment
to
the
multiple
conversations
and
and
sort
of
enterprise
touch
points
on
the
enforcement
issue.
B
You've
never
shirked
away
from
from
those
complexities,
and
it
sounds
like
you're
gonna
and
the
team
will
be
getting
back
into
that
with
the
other
department
that
are
influenced
or
will
influence
what
we
move
forward
with.
So
not
easy
work,
but
it
seems
like
you're,
diligent
and
look
forward
to
outcomes
as
they
come
forward.
When
you
renew
some
of
that
that
enforcement
work-
and
I
know
the
committee
has
always
shown
keen
interest
in
that
area
from
previous
conversations
and
inquiries.
J
Thanks
mr
chair
first
just
want
to
say
thanks
for
all
the
work,
that's
gone
into
the
vision,
zero
plan
and
implementation.
J
I
think
there's
a
huge
opportunity
here
when
we
look
at
the
binding
administration's
potential
infrastructure
investments
and-
and
I
just
want
to
underscore
how
important
it
is
that
we
have
these
data
backed
plans
in
place,
so
that
we
can
take
advantage
of
city
resources
and
opportunities,
as
well
as
advocate
to
the
county
and
to
mndot
and
other
agencies
who
are
touching
our
street
system
and
impact
safety
and
that
as
well.
We
have
an
opportunity
to
really,
I
think,
utilize,
the
vision,
zero
plan,
the
transportation
action
plan
anytime.
There
is
opportunity
around
infrastructure
investments.
J
J
But
I
also
just
want
to
underscore
the
potential
for
us
to
just
really
use
this
as
a
basis
to
rapidly
implement
or
over
time,
incrementally
implement
changes
that
will
help
keep
people
in
our
road
system
safe,
especially
as
mr
foley
highlighted
in
those
places
where
we
see
such
big
race
equity
impacts
in
our
street
system
and
in
the
safety
impacts
in
our
streets.
J
I
do
think
that
there
is
a
bit
of
a
reality
here
that,
in
some
ways,
work
that
was
already
underway
to
reimagine
our
system
of
safety,
to
achieve
both
better
outcomes
for
community
safety
and
greater
race
equity
in
our
safety
system
have,
in
some
ways
slowed
because
of
the
political
conversation
that
has
happened
following
george
floyd's
death
and
all
of
the
things
that
happened
in
2020,
and
I
just
I
think
that
it's
unfortunate
that
work
that
has
been
underway.
J
That
really
needs
support
to
to
really
come
to
fruition,
and
in
this
case
here
we're
talking
about
traffic
enforcement,
where
we
know
there
is
a
problem
here,
we
know
that
we
see
huge
racial
disparities
in
traffic
stops.
We
know
that
we
see
are
not
seeing
effective
outcomes
in
enforcement,
resulting
in
better
traffic
safety
and-
and
we
have
this
needs
to
change.
J
That
needs
to
be
revisited
whatever
words
people
feel
most
comfortable
using,
so
that
we
are
getting
the
best
outcome
for
our
community.
So
again,
that's
those
are
my
words.
That's
my
observation.
Only
and
again
just
want
to
thank
everyone,
who's
working
so
hard
on
all
of
these
pieces
within
the
city.
B
Thank
you
for
that.
Anyone
else
wish
to
make
closing
comment
or
specific
inquiry
to
the
presenter.
B
If
not,
if
there's
no
objection
from
the
committee,
I
will
instruct
the
clerk
to
receive
and
file
this
not
seen
any,
and
we
are
now
at
the
end
of
our
agenda
and
if
there
is
no
objection
from
committee
members,
I
will
call
this
meeting
adjourned
and
thank
everyone
for
the
presentations
and
discussion
today.
