A
D
Thank
you
chair
right
committee
members
good
afternoon
mike
kennedy,
director
of
transportation,
maintenance
and
repair
will
introduce
this
item.
E
Thank
you,
director,
charlie
mr
chair
members
of
the
committee.
Again,
I'm
mike
kennedy,
I'm
the
director
of
transportation,
maintenance
and
repair
for
public
works,
which
is
the
division
that
manages
enforcement
of
the
snow
and
ice
sidewalk
ordinances
each
winter
season.
Public
works
enforces
the
city
sidewalk
shoveling
ordinance
for
properties,
in
violation
of
this
ordinance.
Public
works
sends
a
notice
to
the
property
owner,
and
if
the
property
owner
remains
in
violation,
then
public
works
hires,
a
private
contractor
to
remove
the
snow
and
ice
on
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
the
property.
E
All
property
owners
receive
a
bill
for
the
completed
work.
If
the
owner
does
not
pay
the
bill,
the
cost
of
the
work
will
be
listed
on
the
assessment
role
and
assessed
to
the
property
taxes
as
a
special
assessment
on
january
1
of
the
next
year.
If
the
property
owner
wishes
to
contest
the
cost
of
the
work,
they
have
the
opportunity
to
appeal
at
an
administrative
hearing.
If
the
property
owner
is
satisfied
with
the
determination
of
the
administrative
hearing
officer,
no
further
action
is
necessary.
E
E
E
Here's
a
short
summary
of
the
initiatives
the
department
led
to
increase
the
awareness
and
improve
compliance
with
sidewalk
shoveling
this
past
season.
Last
winter,
a
letter
was
again
sent
to
minneapolis
property
owners
with
details
about
shoveling
requirements
and
a
reminder
of
the
importance
of
shoveling.
Your
sidewalk
to
keep
minneapolis
accessible
for
everyone
in
the
winter
residents
can
now
check
the
status
of
uncleared,
sidewalk,
snow
and
ice
cases
in
minneapolis.
E
Using
the
city's
new
interactive
dashboard
on
the
city's
website
and
311
has
the
list
of
four
higher
sidewalk
shoveling
contractors,
and
there
may
also
be
additional
resources
for
people
who
need
help
clearing
their
sidewalks,
so
they
did
check
with
everyone.
Public
works
held
four
administrative
hearings
for
people
who
wanted
to
contest
their
bills.
E
E
It
went
to
the
wrong
address,
it's
an
out-of-state
property
owner
or
they
want
it
sent
to
a
property
manager.
We
acknowledge
that
there
are
problems
in
the
mailings
they're
in
some
incorrect
addresses,
slow
mail
lag
in
the
title
transfers
or
it
may
not
be
going
to
who
the
person
wants.
E
That
doesn't
mean
that
they
are
not
responsible
to
up
their
their
update.
They
are
responsible
to
up
their
dates
or
records
at
the
assessor's
office
if
they
want
immediate
changes,
but
our
letter
is
simply
a
courtesy.
There
is
no
obligation
in
the
ordinance
for
that.
We
have
to
provide
any
notice
at
all.
We
try
to
do
the
best
we
can
given
what
we've
got,
but
it
doesn't
always
work.
The
snowfall
the
snow
on
their
sidewalk
is
the
notice
property
owners
are
responsible
to
pay
attention
and
shovel
or
clear
as
needed
and
when
needed,
other
complaints.
E
We
hear
at
the
I
heard
at
the
administrative
hearings,
my
side
block
is
adjacent
to
the
curb
and
the
street
plows
cover
my
sidewalk
after
I
shovel
it.
We
have
hundreds
of
miles
of
situations
like
this
and
property
owners
and
plow
crews
have
to
share
the
snow
storage
space
along
the
curb.
Unfortunately,
it
does
mean
that
sometimes
people
in
this
situation
have
to
reshovel
more
often
than
others
might
if
they
keep
a
path
wide
enough
for
a
real
share.
They
won't
be
sighted
if
they
keep.
E
If
plows
do
something
extraordinary,
they
really
bury
it
more
than
anybody
else.
Property
owners
can
report
that
to
3-1-1
and
crews
may
come
out
and
help
if
they
did
something
really
different.
Another
thing
we
hear
is
239,
which
is
the
amount
to
the
charge
amount
to
have
your
sidewalk
cleared
by
the
city.
They
say,
that's
the
ridiculous
amount.
I
got
estimates
for
less
well,
we
take
competitive
bids
to
do
this.
Work
tractor
contractors
have
to
have
adequate
staff
equipment
materials
to
respond
to
hundreds
of
work
orders.
E
You
might
find
someone
to
come
up
and
shovel
your
walk
right
after
it
snows
for
75
bucks
or
something,
but
to
come
out
to
the
site
up
to
10
days
later,
when
the
snow
has
been
compacted
and
bonded
requires
a
lot
more
work,
heavy
machinery
and
time
often,
crews
must
make
a
second
trip
to
allow
for
ice.
The
icing
materials
to
work.
This
is
a
reasonable,
competitive
price.
E
So
our
recommendation
for
today
is
passage
of
resolution
adopting
and
levying
the
assessments
and
adopting
the
assessment
role
for
cyborg
snow
and
ice
removal
charges
for
the
2020
2021
winter
season
on
the
list
of
properties
dated
june
30
2021.
That
concludes
my
presentation.
We've
got
myself
and
a
team
here
to
answer
questions.
We
believe
that
there
are
people
who
are
here
to
testify,
and
so
we'll
turn
this
back
to
the
chair.
A
A
F
D
F
Yep
no
problem
nicholas
hammer,
3608
23rd
avenue
south
here
in
minneapolis
minnesota
55407,
I'm
one
of
council
members,
andrew
johnson's,
neighbors
somewhat.
F
Oh
okay,
so
yeah
so
on
the
first
of
of
january,
according
to
the
records
that
I
got
from
the
cyborg
committee
was
that
somebody
said
that
you
know
my
my
walkway
wasn't
wasn't
cleared
your
office
stated
the
letter
on
1-4,
which
was
a
monday,
and
the
contractors
came
out
on
friday
morning,
which
was
1
8
and
that
that
afternoon
is
when
I
received
the
letter.
So
really
for
me.
F
The
reason
I
I
came
to
this
meeting
was
to
just
ask
so
I
didn't
I
had
cleared
my
walkway
as
best
as
I
thought
that
I
was
doing
it
and
I
had
cleared
it
a
couple
times
because
we
had
a
bunch
of
snow
that
week
too,
so
everything
was
really
just
a
mess,
so
you
know
I
had
thought
that
I
had
cleared
it
enough.
F
It
turns
out
that
I
I
had
not
according
to
your
crew
on
friday
morning,
so
I
received
the
letter
at
noon,
so
I
was
kind
of
unaware
that
anybody
had
said
anything.
So
what
what
do
I
need
to
do
differently?
I
mean
besides
clear
it
more
than
I
had
cleared
it.
A
Yeah,
I
we
note
that
question
and
what
I
typically
do
to
make
the
meeting
run
smooth
is,
I
take
all
the
testimony
and
then
we
respond
as
a
group
and
so
okay,
we've
noted
that
and
thank
you
for
your
testimony,
sir.
F
Yes,
absolutely
and
yeah.
I
guess
that
that's
all!
Basically,
I
I
I'm
wondering
if
either
I
would.
I
would
like
to
find
removed
if
possible,
in
the
six
years
that
I've
owned
the
property.
I
haven't
had
any
other
problems
like
this,
so
I
do
apologize
for
having
to
have
people
come
out
like
this
so
yeah.
I
just
never
received
the
notice
in
time
so
and
you've
already
talked
about
that
mike
kennedy,
so
anyways
thank
you
and
I'll
meet
myself
now.
Oh.
A
Thank
you.
The
next
person
in
queue
is
phyllis
khan
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
H
H
It's
case,
number
c
e
1,
2,
5,
6,
4,
1
3.,
and
I
received
a
bill
for
ice
and
snow
removal
and
what
had
happened
was
I
I
had
someone
hired
who
clears
my
sidewalk
and
my
path
to
my
house
right
after
every
snowstorm
as
soon
as
he
as
soon
as
he
gets
out
and
the
and
apparently
he
had
done
this
and
then
apparently
after
he
did
that
the
snow
plow
came
by
on
the
street
and
had
a
wide
enough
of
a
path
of
pushing
snow
that
it
covered
it
with
snow
again
and
so.
H
And
so
then
I
got
the
node.
You
know
I
checked
to
make
sure
that
it
had
been
cleared
and
you
could
even
see
that
the
pathway
to
my
house,
you
know
not
besides
hurt
so
so
I
can.
You
know
I
complained
about
that.
I
was
then
told
one
of
the
things
I
was
told
was
that
if
it
was
tamped
down
too
hard
for
me
to
dig
up,
I
could
then
just
cover
it
with.
H
H
H
A
A
Oh
yeah,
that's
definitely
going
to
be
today
as
soon
as
the.
A
Yeah,
certainly
listen
because
there
will
be
a
response
forthcoming.
A
Thank
you
next
in
queue
we
have
robert
carey,
please
state
your
name
and
address
for
the
record.
I
Hear
me
can
hear
you
good
afternoon,
chair
and
committee
members.
My
name
is
robert
carey.
My
address
is
3901
22nd
avenue,
south
minneapolis
55407.
I
I
The
reason
our
house
sits
on
a
highly
elevated
lot,
with
severely
sloped
incline
and
two
gutter
outlets
on
the
north-facing
side
in
question.
In
addition,
the
city
sidewalk
is
not
level
and
it
aids
to
the
buildup
of
snowmelt.
That
puddles
then
causes
ice
spots
when
re-freeze
occurs
during
the
time
that
the
notice
was
provided
between
january
and
february,
where
the
salt
that
our
household
applied
to
manage
ice
was
less
effective
due
to
temperatures
where
salt
is
less
productive.
I
I
We
are
responsible
property
owners
and
comply
with
this
ordinance
and
believe
that
that
this
is
established
by
the
west
facing
care
of
our
sidewalk
and
the
ada
curb
out
cutout.
It
does
not
have
unique
qualifiers
of
the
north
facing
sidewalk.
We
would
like
to
request
a
reconsideration
of
the
penalty
on
the
initial
assessment.
Thank
you.
A
A
Address
not
hearing
anything,
I
will
close
the
public
hearing
and
call
upon
mr
kennedy
to
give
some
response
to
the
testimony
given
today.
E
Thank
you,
mr
chair,
and
members
of
the
committee
start
with
mr
hammer.
He
seems
to
his
question
is
what
do
I
need
to
do
to
avoid
this
in
the
future,
and
I
understand
your
predicament,
it
does
appear
that
you
are
trying
to
be
responsible.
E
E
E
That's,
basically
what
the
ordinance
says
is
that
is
that
you
need
to
shovel
it
and
keep
it
clear,
full
width
down
to
the
pavement
or
sprinkle
sand
when
it's
it's
too.
The
ice
is
too
much
bonded
and
you
can't
get
it
off.
So
I
guess
just
a
little
bit
more
vigilance,
I
think,
is
the
answer
there
for
ms
khan,
as
I
alluded
to
in
the
beginning
of
my
presentation.
This
is
one
of
those
situations
where
we
have
a
sidewalk
adjacent
to
the
curb
and
we
have
to.
We
have
to
share
that
snow
storage.
E
E
I've
heard
committee
members
talk
about
impassable
sidewalks
that
we
want
to
avoid
that's
almost
the
definition
of
an
impossible
sidewalk
for
someone
who
is
disabled,
and
so
you
need
to
try
to
make
an
effort
and,
and
if
crews
see
that
it's
been
shoveled
as
wide
as
possible,
if
you've
cleared
it
wide
enough
to
for
a
wheelchair
to
pass
sprinkle
that
sand
and
there's
effort
being
made,
then
the
inspectors
would
go
by
and
the
contractors
would
not
do
the
work.
E
So
again,
we
appreciate
your
efforts
to
be
a
good
citizen
and
mr
kerry
some
of
the
same
kinds
of
comments.
Yes,
you
have
a
very
difficult
situation
with
the
high
side
slopes
on
your
lot
again,
we
were
responding.
Our
crews
and
inspectors
were
responding
to
complaints.
Somebody
felt
it
wasn't
good
enough
and
we
do
provide
free
sand
for
those
of
you
who
are
listening,
check
our
website
and
in
those
situations
you
can
see
in
the
pictures.
E
Had
there
been
some
sand
sprinkled
down
there,
salt
doesn't
always
do
it
and
we
know
you're
going
to
have
melt
water
across
and
re-freeze
is
just
unfortunately,
gonna
take
more
diligence,
but
if
it
looks
like
there's
effort
been
made,
then
typically
people
won't
call
and
we
wouldn't
we
wouldn't
gig
a
situation
like
that.
So
those
are
the
comments
that
I
have.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
mr
kennedy,
and
I
will
now
ask
if
there's
anyone
from
the
committee
who
wish
to
make
comment,
if
not,
I
would
move
this
item
before
us
and
ask
the
clerk
to
confirm
approval.
I
J
C
F
A
And
that
moves
forward
I'll
note
again
that
the
public
hearing
has
been
closed
and
we
can
proceed
to
the
discussion
items.
I
will
give
the
floor
quickly
to
councilman
fletcher
to
record
his
vote
on
the
consent
items
for
the
record.
A
J
A
K
Thank
you,
mr
chair
and
council
members.
I
am
jennifer
lowry,
as
he
said,
I'm
in
the
parking
traffic
and
parking
services,
and
I
work
with
scott
cramer
who's.
The
other
lead
on
this
request
for
council
action.
Scott
leads
a
team
of
four
individuals.
Amazing
individuals
on
the
lane
use
team
next
slide.
Please
so
it'll
just
be
a
quick
presentation
to
explain
what's
before
you
today,
which
is
to
update
the
city's
obstruction.
Permit
fees
I'll
cover
the
who.
What
when,
where?
Why
and
how?
K
K
Slide
so
the
public
right-of-way
equals
about
22
of
the
land
area
in
the
city,
and
the
city
regulates
the
use
of
that
right-of-way
through
several
permits,
including
through
the
roughly
15
000
obstruction
permits
that
are
issued
annually
by
this
late
news
group,
which
exists
in
the
public,
works
traffic
and
parking
services
division
so
to
perform
work
or
to
have
exclusive
use
of
all
our
portions
of
the
right-of-way.
Everyone,
including
our
own
crews,
should
obtain
an
obstruction
permit.
The
permit
itself
can
currently
be
obtained
at
no
cost.
K
The
fees
associated
with
actual
closure
of
sidewalks
or
lanes
are
the
disruption
costs,
which
we
also
call
the
lane
use
fees
so
note
that
the
obstruction
permit
is
the
mechanism
for
people
to
request
hooding
of
meters
or
posting
of
no
parking.
However,
costs
such
as
the
last
revenue
associated
with
meter
hooding
is
not
a
part
of
this
proposal.
K
K
There
is
a
lot
happening
in
our
right-of-way,
and
all
these
are
things
are
constantly
changing,
being
events,
construction
emergencies,
so
the
obstruction
permit
helps
us
know
who
is
where
when
so.
This
in
turn
helps
the
city
protect
public
assets
because
damage
to
our
assets
can
occur
at
the
time
of
the
work
or
months
or
years
later,
and
also
to
preserve
the
public
space
needed
to
maintain
the
movement
of
people,
goods
and
services
within
the
city.
So,
regardless
of
which
mode
of
travel
you
use,
there
is
a
network
to
maintain
that
access
next
slide.
Please.
K
Thanks,
so
this
update
seeks
to
minimize
the
impacts
to
the
right-of-way
and
the
traveling
public
by
encouraging
less
use
of
the
right-of-way
and
for
shorter
durations
of
time.
K
So
two
ways
we're
approaching
this:
the
inflationary
value
of
space,
so
lane
used
were
established
in
2001
and
then
slightly
amended
in
2006,
but
they
have
not
increased
since
that
time.
Therefore,
they're
a
very
inexpensive
option
for
use
of
space
that
results
in
higher
usage
of
our
public
right-of-way
and
in
some
cases
that
space
is
abused.
K
Our
focus
is
to
improve
and
encourage
people
and
improve
the
sidewalks
and
bike
lanes
to
encourage
people
to
make
trips
by
biking
walking
or
using
transit,
as
stated
in
our
transportation
action
plan
and
our
complete
streets
policies
in
this,
these
graphics
you'll
see
the
multi-modal
priorities
that
you're
familiar
with
so
at
the
top
is
our
pedestrian
is
our
highest
priority
and
then
on
the
right
side,
you'll
see
in
2019.
K
If
we
looked
at
the
lane
use
fees
that
were
charged
for
downtown,
it
makes
sense
that
the
green
is
the
parking
lane
which
aligns
with
our
lowest
priority
on
the
modal
priorities.
But
our
second
largest
used
space
was
our
sidewalks,
so
that
was
around
30
percent
of
the
lane.
Use
fees
were
associated
with
sidewalk
closures,
and
our
goal
is
to
either
eliminate
or
significantly
reduce,
impacts
to
those
sidewalks
and
shrink
that
blue
area
next
slide.
K
Please
so
how
we're
doing
that
or
how
we're
accomplishing
those
goals
in
part.
We
want
to
raise
our
prices
to
at
a
minimum,
reflect
the
inflation
or
the
true
current
disruptive
cost
to
the
public,
and
then
we
also
need
to
adjust
those
fees
relative
to
one
another
to
align
with
our
goals
and
policies.
K
So
our
current
rates
are
two-tiered,
you'll
see
on
the
left.
So
what
we
want
to
do
is
price
our
sidewalk
more
than
the
parking
lane
or
moving
lanes
to
discourage
sidewalk
closures
during
construction,
and
then
we
create
a
third
tier
so
that
we're
able
to
adjust
the
sidewalk
and
bike
lane
fees
accordingly.
So
if
you
follow
the
arrows
on
the
right
table,
we
create
a
third
column,
make
the
sidewalks
most
expensive
and
bring
bike
lanes
up
to
the
same
cost
of
the
moving
lane.
K
It
is
important
to
note
that
the
moving
lane
is
also
where
buses
and
emergency
vehicles
travel.
So
that's
why
the
bike
lane
and
the
transit
moving
lane
are
on
the
same
level
after
these
adjustments,
we'll
continue
to
further
review
best
practices
from
pure
cities,
such
as
fixed
fees,
changes
in
fee
based
on
the
time,
duration
of
the
project
etc.
But
our
first
step
is
increasing
these
fees
next
slide,
so
our
fees
currently
apply
in
on
downtown
and
arterial
streets,
so
downtown
is
shown
in
the
red.
K
You
can
go
to
the
next
one
and
then
the
one
after
that
kind
of
quickly.
So
then
we
have
arterial
streets
which
is
shown
in
the
orange
and
then
the
third
we're
adding
other
category
called
all
other
streets.
K
So
this
proposal
would
added
a
tier
that
covers
all
other
streets
that
aren't
covered
by
downtown
and
arterial
that
for
which
the
city
permits,
so
it
wouldn't
include
parkways,
freeways
university
of
minnesota
streets,
etc.
But
it's
reflected
in
all
the
blue
streets.
You
see
there
next,
please,
pending
council
approval,
we
propose
these
changes
go
into
effect
on
january
1st
of
next
year,
2022.
K
K
So
we
took
this
information
that
I
just
presented
and
did
some
engagement
with
the
public
we
sent
over
8
000
notices
via
email
about
the
changes
these
were
sent
to
people
who
had
previously
obtained
an
obstruction
permit
and
people
who
are
on
cped's
development
notices,
gov
delivery
lists.
We
held
three
virtual
meetings
in
june
and
recorded
the
session
a
session
that
was
posted
on
the
website.
The
website
was
also
updated
a
few
times
and
26
formal
comments
were
received
so
of
those
comments.
K
So
this
shows
the
proposed
fees
on
the
top.
Is
the
currents
you'll
see
the
dollar
amounts
and
the
tiers?
So
it's
just
lower
high
tiers
on
the
bottom.
You'll
see
the
proposed
fees,
so
we
create
the
three
tiers
having
sidewalk
is
the
highest
and
the
upper
left.
The
175
is
the
highest,
and
then
you
go
to
the
bottom
right,
which
is
the
25
cents
as
the
lowest
and
everything
else
kind
of
falls
in
between.
We
did
not
make
changes
to
our
approach.
Based
on
the
comments
we
received
because
it
they
were
more
supportive.
K
So
in
conclusion,
the
proposal
before
you
today
asked
for
three
things:
to
increase
the
fees
for
the
downtown
and
arterial
streets
to
establish
and
define
in
all
other
streets
category
and
then
to
establish
fees
associated
with
those
all
other
streets.
K
A
Thank
you
for
that
presentation.
Do
any
committee
members
have
questions
for
the
presenter.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair.
I
just
want
to
express
my
appreciation
to
staff
for
working
through
this.
I
I
think
it's
really
good
policy.
J
As
someone
who
represents
a
award
that
is
partially
covered
by
the
downtown
obstruction
rules,
and
that
partially
isn't.
J
I
know
that
often
there
is
real
frustration
with
lanes
that
will
be
taken
for
a
lot
longer
than
it
seems
like
they
need
to
be,
because
there's
a
very
limited
incentive
to
not
do
so
at
a
construction
site,
and
I
think,
starting
to
apply
fees
and
starting
to
take
seriously
the
imposition
that
it
puts
on
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
and
drivers
when
you're
using
a
lane
for
some
other
purpose,
is
going
to
be
very
helpful
in
hopefully
encouraging
projects
to
be
more
expedient
in
how
much
obstruction
they
engage
in
and
also
you
know,
to
make
sure
that
that
we're
managing
that
space
and
incentivizing
the
right
kinds
of
obstructions
so
that
we
minimize
impact.
J
So
I
appreciate
this,
I
think
it's
something
that
we're
gonna
have
to
keep
monitoring
and
see
how
this
works
for
a
while
and
then
see
if
we
need
to
make
further
adjustments.
But
I
think
this
is
a
real
step
in
the
right
direction.
That
feels
really
like,
like
a
solid
step
forward
from
our
transportation
action
plan
work.
So
thank
you.
A
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
Council
member
and
I
know
very
early
on-
you
were
a
very
clear
observer
and
voice
on
this
issue
for
some
time.
So,
thanks
for
your
comments,
council
member
bender.
L
Thanks
mr
chair
to
you
and
councilman
fletcher,
who
you
noted,
has
really
been
leading
on
this
they're
asking
for
it.
I
just
wanted
to
reflect
how
great
it
is
to
see
public
works,
really
referring
to
our
adopted
policies
and
really
making
sure
that
all
of
these
different
aspects
of
what
happens
in
our
right-of-way
are
aligned
with
our
policies,
and
you
know
they're
only
as
good
as
our
commitment
to
implementing
them.
L
L
You
know
the
really
collaborative
effort
within
public
works
itself
to
come
forward
with
the
transportation
action
plan.
There
was
a
huge
support
for
that
plan
in
the
council.
I
think
reflecting
the
public
support
for
this
direction.
So
just
thank
you
for
continuing
to
refer
to
those
and
to
bring
them
to
life
in
our
right
of
way.
L
To
make
sure
that
everything
that
happens,
there
is
aligned
with
those
outcomes
that
we
want
to
see
especially
safety
for
the
most
vulnerable
users,
and
when
we
see
these
obstructions,
as
councilmember
fletcher
said
especially
go
on
for
a
very
long
time,
it
really
does
create
significant
safety
issues
for
our
constituents.
So
thanks.
A
A
But
I
really
like
what
council
president
bender
said
about
how
this
work
brings
to
life
as
she
well
put
it
our
policies,
so
they
are
not
abstractions
or
academic,
but
really
how
we
do
our
business
here
in
the
city
and
how
people
get
to
enjoy
the
city
because
of
these
policies
are
mindful
of
them
and
their
safety.
So
extremely
well
done,
and
I
wanted
to
echo
the
thanks
to
you.
D
Thank
you,
chair,
reich,
and,
and
thank
you
to
committee
members
for
the
kind
words
and
support
of
staff
knowledge.
That
was
a
lot
of
really
good
work
and
exciting
step
forward.
So
item

G
Thank
you,
director,
jelly
cara
reich
and
members
of
the

My
name
is
trey

I'm
an

and
programming
division
and
I'll
be
presenting
on
the
your
city,
your
streets,
2020
progress
port,
as
mandated
by
the
parks
and
streets
funding.
Ordinance
next
slide,
please.
G
So
in
2017,
council
passed
the
20-year
parks
and
streets
funding
orders
which
guaranteed
a
minimal
annual
funding
for
city
streets
in
combination
with
that
parts
and
streets
funding
ordinance.
The
20
years
funding
plan
uses
a
combination
of
asset
condition,
demographic
and
user
information
to
help
prioritize
projects
in
the
cip.
G
This
ordinance
also
calls
for
report
back
which
I'm
here
presenting
on
for
you
today
and
I'll
just
note
that
this
presentation
isn't
a
comprehensive
list
or
exhaustive
list
of
all
the
work
done
by
public
works,
but
I'll
briefly
be
highlighting
some
of
the
key
projects
completed
last
year
next
slide,
please
so
I'd
like
to
example,
some
of
our
other
work
not
funded
by
the
ordinance,
but
it
was
also
completed
last
year.
These
initiatives
so
instances
where
public
works
adapted
to
changes
in
our
streets
during
2020,
while
also
advancing
key
city
goals.
G
G
So,
since
2017,
since
the
ordinance
was
passed,
the
public
works
has
completed
143
miles
of
work,
which
included
resurfacing
reconstruction
and
rehabilitation
of
streets.
42
miles
of
that
work
were
completing
acp-50
areas
and
acp-50
is
designed
defined
as
50
or
more
of
the
population
identifying
as
bypoc
next
slide.
Please.
G
Also
in
2017
as
it
relates
to
bikes
and
pedestrian
improvements,
the
city
completed
17
miles
of
protected
bike
lanes
about
1800
ada
ramp
upgrades
30
miles
of
pedestrian
realm
improvements,
including
sidewalks
and
boulevards,
and
about
538
curb
extensions
next
slide,
please
in
2020
and
last
year
in
2020
as
it
relates
to
streets.
The
city,
public
works,
completed,
24,
intersection
upgrades,
including
traffic
circles,
curve
extensions
and
medians
13,
inter
signal
upgrades,
32
miles
of
work
in
general
of
general
work
and
which
includes
resurfacing
reconstruction
and
rehabilitation
and
also
13.1
of
those
miles
in
acp-50
areas.
G
Next
slide,
please
so
get
to
the
meat
of
the
presentation.
I'll
be
briefly
highlighting
some
of
the
projects
completed
last
year
and
examining
some
of
the
improvements
made
on
those
projects.
First
up
is
the
hennepin
avenue
south
downtown
phase
one
street
reconstruction.
This
was
a
this.
Is
a
reconstruction
currently
ongoing
from
washington
to
12th
phase?
One
was
the
southern
half
of
hennepin
and
phase
two?
Is
the
northern
half
have
been
ongoing
this
year,
this
project
included
sidewalk
able
to
support
pedestrian
activities,
space
for
planting
and
furnishing
zones.
G
G
The
next
project
was
the
gerard
avenue
south
street
reconstruction.
This
was
from
lake
as
a
one
block
project
from
lake
to
lagoon.
As
you
can
see
in
the
image,
the
project
included:
expanded,
sidewalk,
furnishing
zones
out
on
the
west
side
of
the
street
traffic
signal
replacements,
curb
extensions,
ada,
compliant
pedestrian
ramps,
pedestrian
street
level
lighting
and
vegetated
swells
in
the
boulevard.
As
you
can
see
on
the
left
side
of
the
image
next
slide,
please.
G
The
next
project
was
the
18th
avenue
south
18th
avenue
northeast
street
reconstruction.
This
project
connected
to
the
18th
avenue
northeast
street
reconstruction
in
2017
and
2018,
and
the
ongoing
reconstruction
of
johnson
street
northeast
from
lowry
to
18th.
This
project
included
ada
compliant
pedestrian
ramps.
It
closed
in
sidewalk
and
trail
gaps
in
front
of
the
post
office,
which
is
the
building
on
the
left
side
of
the
screen
added
boulevard,
including
street
trees
and
pedestrian
curve,
extensions,
yep
and
next
slide.
Please.
G
G
G
This
project
was
a
part
of
our
residential
street
reconstruction
program
and
it
was
the
first
project
in
our
residential
reconstruction
program,
and
I
just
like
to
highlight
the
the
ordinance's
ability
to
to
fill
some
of
these
to
do
some
of
these.
This.
This
work
in
residential
streets,
where
the
condition
of
the
street
has
degraded
to
a
point
where
resurfacing
is
not
a
great
treatment.
This
project
included
0.75
miles
of
streets
in
the
weight
park.
Neighborhood
of
northeast
minneapolis,
including
several
curb
extensions,
widened,
boulevards,
narrow
travel
lanes
and
mid-block
bump
outs
next
slide.
G
G
This
is
example
of
our
dorman
avenue,
paving
area
or
this
in
the
longfell
neighborhood,
as
an
example
of
residential
street,
of
a
residential
street
resurfacing
project
and,
as
you
can
see
in
the
images
project
included,
bump
outs
and
new
adapt
ramps
with
a
connection
to
the
midtown
greenway
next
slide.
Please,
this
project
was
a
part
of
our
parkway
resourcing
program,
which
is
closely
coordinated
with
the
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
sport,
as
we
identify
candidates
to
include
in
the
parkway
program.
G
This
was
phase
one
of
the
theodore
worth
parker
resurfacing,
which
extended
from
28th
avenue
northeast
to
olson
memorial
highway
and
in
this
year,
we'll
also
be
completing
phase
two
of
this
program,
which
is
primarily
located
in
the
northern
or
the
southern
half
of
the
of
theodore
worth
parkway
and
then
in
223,
we'll
be
coming
back
doing
a
silk
coat
with
the
applying
the
signature,
parkway
red
red
chip.
Silicon
next
slide,
please.
G
South
this
was
the
southwest
syndrome.
Street
reconstruction
also
funded
because
of
the
tony
issues
funding
plan
ordinance.
It
was
at
0.8
miles
of
work
which
included
ada
ramps,
the
closing
of
sidewalk
gaps,
several
curb
extensions
and
green
and
storm
water
improvements,
as
you
can
see
in
the
boulevard
space
next
slide.
G
Please
so
I'd
like
to
kind
of
highlight
some
of
our
pedestrian
accomplishments
in
2020.,
the
city
built
2.1
miles
of
improved
pedestrian
rail,
including
sidewalks
and
boulevards.
In
that

and
this
concludes
my
presentation
I'll
happy
to
stay
along
for
any
questions.
A
L
Thanks,
mr
chair
I'll,
just
echo
a
lot
of
the
themes
from
earlier,
but
it's
just
extraordinary
to
see
how
much
the
policy
work
we've
all
done,
and
the
investment
that
we
collectively
made
in
our
infrastructure
back
in
2017
to
see
that
really
come
to
life
in
our
right
of
way
and
especially
to
see
the
significance
of
our
collective
commitment
to
race
equity,
we're
one
of
the
only
cities
in
the
country
that
I
still
know
of
that
uses
race,
equity,
equity,
explicitly
in
our
capital
program.
It's
something!
L
I
talk
about
a
lot
with
elected
officials
from
around
the
country
as
one
of
the
levers
that
we
can
use.
You
know
we
own
the
right-of-way.
We
invest
millions
and
millions
of
dollars
as
a
community
in
our
streets,
and
they
should
be
working
for
our
whole
community.
They
should
be
serving
the
community,
they
should
be
supporting
safety
and
access,
and
the
fact
that
we've
been
able
to
leverage
the
streets.
Investment
with
our
commitments
to
safety
and
equitable
access
is
really
meaningful.
And
it's
it's
important
because
it's
it's
money
that
we
were
putting
in.
L
You
know
for
infrastructure,
for
something.
That's
very
often.
I
think
very
confined
you
know
we
have
a
capital
program,
we're
gonna,
do
these
particular
streets
and
we've
been
able
to
integrate
into
that
these
values
that
our
city
has.
So
thanks
to
the
staff
truly
for
shepherding
through
this
huge
change
in
how
we
think
about
our
streets
in
public
right-of-way,
for
having
all
of
the
thousands
of
conversations
with
property
owners
and
residents
and
business
owners
that
led
to
each
one
of
the
projects
that
you
highlighted.
L
Even
if
you
just
look
at
the
curve
extensions
and
the
ada
improvements
that
have
happened,
that
alone
is
really
extraordinary
work
and,
to
put
it
together
with
the
speed
reductions
and
the
infrastructure
shifts
that
support
safety
and
access.
It's
just
an
extraordinary
body
of
work.
I
I'm
so
proud
to
have
played
a
small
role
in
it
and
really
want
to
thank
the
staff
for
all
of
their
effort
and,
like
I
said,
bringing
it
to
life
in
our
city,.
A
Thank
you
for
those
comments.
Councilmember
fletcher.
J
Thank
you,
mr
chair
yeah.
I
want
to
pile
on
the
praise
a
little
bit.
J
I
know
that
sometimes
our
constituents
do
feel
a
little
frustrated
because
we
are
doing
a
lot
of
work
and
that
ends
up
being
a
lot
of
temporary
obstructions
when,
when
we've
got
this
road
work
in
progress
but
trey,
I
know
you
personally
have
a
fan
club
in
my
ward
over
the
east
hennepin
work,
and
I
know
that
each
of
these
projects
that
you
highlighted
has
staff
behind
it
and
a
grateful
residents
who
had
a
chance
to
weigh
in
on
these
projects
and
then
see
them
come
to
fruition.
J
So
I
just
want
to
really
thank
everybody.
Who's
dug
in
there's
some
there's,
some
very
specific
and
individualized
and
context-specific
work
that
and
thought
that's
gone
into
a
lot
of
these
projects
to
really
make
them
work
for
everybody
and
a
lot
of
parts
of
our
city
that
are
more
accessible
and
and
that
just
work
better
for
everyone
because
of
the
good
work
that
you
all
are
doing.
So
thank
you
for
that
and
it's
great
to
see
this
update.
A
I
will
also
echo
the
comments
made
by
my
colleagues.
A
Certainly
we,
when
we
made
this
investment,
this
commitment,
it
wasn't
just
an
expansion
of
our
asset
management
with
with
more
resources,
but
as
an
expansion
of
how-
and
I
think,
council
president
bender
pointed
this
out,
it
was
an
expansion
of
how
we
leverage
these
investments
beyond
just
asset
management,
which
is
very
important
into
so
many
other
goals
and
and
yes,
the
equity
goals
that
was
highlighted
by
council
president
bender
certainly
is
a
key
one.
A
But
even
you
can
pick
almost
any
project
and
see
how
it
leveraged
something
beyond
just
infrastructure,
asset
management
connections,
to
schools,
with
the
with
the
safe
routes
to
schools,
investments
and
how
important
that
link
was
the
environmental
I
mean
so
many
of
those
street
projects,
for
example
the
one
that
was
highlighted
in
employer
heights.
A
That's
you
know
directly
purifying
the
water
supply
of
our
city,
so
it's
really
impressive
to
see
how
we've
expanded
our
resource
investment,
but
also
leveraging
the
importance
and
value
through
these
other
applications
and
achieving
other
goals
from
equity
to
environment,
etc,
and
a
very
very,
very
well
done
progress
report.
I
think
it
flowed
very
nicely
and
tells
the
story
very
well,
and
I
think
it's
a
story
that
needs
to
be
out
there
to
the
public,
also
very
well
done
to
staff
anyone
else
from
the
committee.
A
That
carries,
and
that
concludes
the
items
on
our
agenda
and
if
there's
no
objection
from
committee
members,
I
will
call
this
meeting
adjourned
and
thank
everyone
who
prepared
the
items
for
this.
