It's
a
a
really
scary,
intersection
and
they've
been
doing
a
lot
of
work.
They
did
some
technical
work
in
the
first
phase
of
their
approaching
this
looking
at
what
they
could
do,
how
they
could
rearrange
some
of
the
turns
and
the
entrances
onto
hiawatha,
to
make
it
a
little
bit
safer
for
cars
and
also,
most
importantly,
pedestrians,
because
it's
a
terrifying
place
if
you're
walking
there,
so
they
did
that
as
part
of
phase
one
phase.
Two
was
public
engagement
process,
prioritizing
improvement
options.
E
This
intersection
is
a
connecting
point
for
three
diverse
neighborhoods
east
phillips,
and
I'm
trying
to
think.
If
I
have,
I
don't
have
the
names
of
all
of
them,
but
there's
three
neighborhoods
that
that
use
that
intersection.
It
gets
a
lot
of
use,
both
pedestrian
and
bicycle
and
vehicle
use
and
there's
transit
lines
on
that.
Like
it's
part
of
lake
street
and
hiawatha
has
transit
transit
line
as
well.
E
They
talked
about
trying
to
improve
it
visually
one
of
the
ideas
because
they
have
about
70
feet,
70
square
feet
at
the.
I
think.
That's
the
north
end
of
the
intersection
and
probably
50
on
the
south
end
that
are
just
sort
of
vacant,
and
they
want
to
do
something
with
that.
Possibly
put
some
art,
maybe
have
some
of
the
ideas
were
bicycle
parking.
Some
of
the
ideas
were
a
skateboard
park,
lots
of
different
things
to
do.
They
were
just
suggesting
things:
they
haven't
determined
anything.
E
So
this
project
will
be
back
to
visit
with
the
ine
in
april
or
may
of
2022.
The
pack
asked
one
important
thing:
if
all
the
legs
of
this
redesigned
intersection
could
be
marked
to
enhance
pedestrian
safety,
jason
indicated
that
that
had
been
discussed
and
that
he
was
he
was
going
to
be
included
in
the
design.
E
So
that's
where
we
ended
with
that
one.
They
will
be
back
in
a
couple
months,
probably
any
questions
on
that
or
any
additions.
Anybody
that
was
there.
That
wants
to
add
anything,
no
okay,
I
will
move
on,
because
this
is
a
long
one.
2022
vision,
zero.
This
is
the
the
program
that
supports
the
vision,
zero
action
plan
by
making
cost-effective
safety
improvements
systematically
and
rapidly
in
high
injury
streets.
E
There
are
24
city-owned
streets
identified
as
high
injury
streets
in
2022.
There
is
1.18
million
dollars
available
thereafter
in
2023
and
beyond.
There
will
be
a
half
a
million
dollars
available
each
year
for
improvements.
These
improvements
intend
to
fundamentally
improve
the
feel
and
safety
of
the
corridors.
Most
improvements
will
be
made
with
quick,
build
materials
like
bollards
and
paint.
E
They
will
also
explore
upgrades
to
curb
extensions
when
possible
strategies
include
delineated,
bump
outs,
high
visibility,
crosswalks
zebra,
striking
slow
turn,
wedges
delineator,
medians
hardened
center
lines
by
conflict
zone,
striping,
rapid
flashing
beacons
and
retro
retro
reflective
backplates.
I'm
not
sure
what
that
is,
but
those
are
some
of
the
ideas.
E
I'm
not
sure.
That's
what
I
wrote
down,
I'm
not
sure
if
that
that
makes
sense.
East
35th
fremont
avenue
from
friedman,
fremont
avenue
north
to
lowry,
avenue
to
44th
avenue,
north
and
lindale
avenue
south
and
franklin
avenue
west.
The
pass
the
pack
asked
how
this
program
was
funded.
This
program
is
funded
from
the
capital
budget,
with
some
bonding
efforts.
Funding
decreases
as
designated
corridors
are
addressed.
E
E
That
was
the
only
questions
we
asked
about
that
I'm
guessing
these
are
ongoing
projects
and
we
might
be
hearing
from
them
again
if
things
change
or
if
they've
added
new
streets
to
that
first
step.
The
next
project
was
first
avenue
south
reconstruction.
This
was
presented
by
katie
white
and
ahmad
omar
from
minneapolis
public
works.
Minneapolis
public
works
department
plans
to
reconstruct
more
than
one
and
a
half
miles
of
first
avenue
south
from
grant
street
to
east
lake
street.
The
project
includes
replacing
the
bridge
over
the
greenway
and
the
railroad
corridor.
E
The
project's
goals
are
to
improve
safety
for
all
people
and
modes
of
traffic
and
to
install
a
bikeway
facility
for
all
ages
and
abilities
to
evaluate
opportunities
for
green
storm
improvement,
plantings,
trees
and
accommodate
property
access
for
residents,
businesses
and
visitors.
This
project
will
prioritize
people
who
walk
and
bicycle
while
maintaining
safety
and
effective
vehicle
operation.
E
They'll
be
returning
to
the
pack
sometime
in
the
future.
They
didn't
specify
when
they
would
be
coming,
but
I
would
guess
sometime,
maybe
even
in
the
late
summer,
the
next
project
was
26th
avenue
north
ole
olson
park.
The
trail
gap
that
project's
at
zero
percent.
It
was
presented
by
tyler,
petterson
of
minneapolis
park
and
recreation
board
and
kimberly
horn
design
team
with
greg
brown.
E
The
goals
of
this
project
are
to
expand
recreation,
river
and
regional
trail
access
for
all
residents
in
north
minneapolis
and
north
minneapolis
neighborhoods.
The
concept
development
process,
which
includes
data
collection,
coordination
with
the
railroad
that
they
they'll
have
to
deal
with
the
bnsf,
railroad
and
continental
cement
to
access
some
of
their
property.
That
is
going
on
right
now
and
will
continue.
They
will
do
a
geotechnical
and
structural
investigation,
a
floodway
wetland
impact
analysis
and
an
experimental
design.
E
They
really
want
this
trail
connection
to
be
a
great
experience.
They
would
hope
to
have
less
than
five
percent
grade
side-by-side
pedestrian
and
bicycle
paths.
They
want
to
minimize
the
disturbance
to
the
river
bluff
and
repair
and
re-landscape
whenever
it
is
disturbed,
they
hope
to
get
the
pedestrian
trail
closer
to
the
river.
While
keeping
in
mind
the
100
year
flood
plan,
there
will
be
a
public
meeting.
E
E
E
One
of
the
things
that
the
brt
line
is
hoping
to
do
is
improve
and
make
the
transit
on
lake
street
faster.
So
how
they're
wanting
to
accomplish
that
is
sort
of
three
ways.
One
is
to
have
fewer
stops,
so
the
stops
would
be
about
every
third
mile
or
every
three
or
four
blocks,
and
they
also
want
to
have
pay
prior
to
entrance
like
we
do
for
the
brt
now
for
light
rail
that
goes
downtown
or
into
st
paul.
E
So
you
pay
before
you
get
on
either
with
a
card
or
you
pay
every
time
they
want
that,
and
then
they
want
to
have
a
designated
transit
corridor,
especially
going
west.
I
think
the
transit
porter
right
now
is
designed
to
go
west,
so
the
brt
and
b
line
would
go
west
and
then,
when
they
returned
going
east
they
would
use
the
street
on
the
other
side
of
the
street.
E
There
is,
there
will
not
be
two
designated
transit
lines
according
to
the
design
as
it
is,
and
there
this
is
done
in
conjunction
with
the
lake
street
improvement
project,
which
is
coordinating
with
the
beeline
and
brt
improvements,
and
that
is
identified.
Lake
street
you
know
is
identified
as
a
high
injury
street.
This
lake
street
has
a
high
pedestrian
activity.
The
street
from
blaisdell
to
cedar
is
considered
a
cultural
district.
The
assets
are
in
good
condition,
35w
to
hiawatha
minneapolis
greens
on
lake
street,
and
of
course,
there
was
a.
E
There
was
a
lot
of
unrest
in
2020
and
and
thereafter
after
the
murder
of
george
floyd.
This
project
will
be
a
multi-jurisdictional
approach
with
a
shared
vision.
It
will
bring
together
metro
transit,
hennepin,
county
minneapolis
and
the
mndot.
Its
goals
are
to
improve
the
corridor's
transit
speeds
and
reliability,
improved
conditions
for
people
walking
and
crossing
lake
street
and
improve
safety
for
all
modes
of
travel.
Potential
changes
include
crash
and
injury
reduction,
pavement
preservation
and
ada
accommodations.
E
This
is
when
I
read
the
statistics
about
this.
It
seems
like
this
is
a
really
important,
safe
routes
to
school,
reported
crashes
near
green
central
program
are
on
11th
avenue
that
that
between
28th
and
powderhorn
park
there
was
one
pedestrian
crash
with
injuries
and
three
bicycle
crashes.
Three-Fourths
of
those
had
injuries.
There
were
five
bicycle
crashes.
Let
me
go
and
go.
I
missed
the
street
on
10th
avenue
between
28th
and
34th.
There
were
13
pedestrian
crashes
with
a
hundred
percent
injuries
and
five
bicycle
crashes
with
80
percent
injuries.
E
On
those
two
stretches
there
were
186
motor
vehicle
crashes,
35
percent
has
had
increased
34th
street
31st
street
lake
street
portland
park
are
also
really
challenging
streets
and
the
area
around
that
that
school
have
have
kids
walking
across
those
quarters
as
well.
So
this
is
really
an
important,
safe
routes
to
school
project.
In
my
opinion
and
and
there
I
don't
know
that
they'll
be
coming
back.
I
think
I
don't
recall
that
so
I
don't
have.
E
But
I
don't
recall
that
christopher,
do
you
recall
if
they
said
they'd
be
coming
back?
I
don't
specifically
yeah
me,
neither
so,
but
it's
a
it
seems
to
me
a
very
important,
safe
routes
to
school
this.
This
is
a
really
challenging
area
for
kids
that
are
walking
and
they
said
that
about.
I
think
the
last
note
I
have
is
that
most
of
the
kids
25
of
the
green
central
school
students
walk
to
school
of
those
kids
50
are
our
children
of
color.
C
D
D
We
have
the
following
concerns:
one:
a
greater
distance
between
stops
at
time
and
mobility,
challenges
for
transit
riders
with
mobility
limitations,
who
may
move
at
half
the
speed
of
the
average
pedestrian
and
for
whom
winter
conditions
are
even
greater
barrier
to
independence
and
inclusion.
We
urge
metro,
transit
and
minneapolis
public
works
to
remove
stops
to
speed
service
only
as
a
last
resort,
after
first
implementing
transit
signal
priority
and
removing
private
vehicle
lanes
to
reduce
delays
or
obstructions
from
drivers.
D
D
A
A
C
B
B
B
E
G
F
Yeah
I'd
love
to
know,
just
because
that's
the
issue
I
mean
for
transit,
real
real
transit
users
love
the
speed,
but
it's
not
a
great
service.
If
you
have
to
walk
four
blocks
and
you're
half
crippled
and
you've
got
four
bags
of
groceries
and
your
kids
crying
and
you
can't
walk
over
the
damn
snow
because
the
city
won't
plow
it
right.
J
So
I
think
it
would
be
good
to
get
more
information
about
what
metro
transit
proposes
to
do
with
the
already
existing
transit
lines.
I
know
the
express
bus
has
been
discontinued
since
the
pandemic.
I
don't
know
if
it's
back
yet,
but
I
think
it'd
be
good
to
know
that
information
as
well.
Well,
that's.
E
One
thing
they
did
say
when
they
presented
was
that
the
21
has
maintained
ridership
even
throughout
the
pandemic,
for
sure
it
was
very
well
used
and
they
they
did
not
say
for
sure
that
it
was
to
be
eliminated,
but
they
said
that
the
especially
going
east
I
mean,
I
think,
going
west.
The
transit
line
is
designated
to
the
brt,
so
I'm
not
sure
about
the
rest
of
it.
Whether
they
want
to
continue
that
or
add
it
have
it
be
a
support
to
the
brt
that
was
unclear
right.
I
But
I
mean
we
could
also
look
at
university
and
I
think
the
secret
team
for
kind
of
what
would
have
happened
in
the
past,
so
that
was
light
rail
instead,
but
what
they
talk
about
doing
is
kind
of
determined.
It
isn't
necessarily
what
will
happen
based
on
how
ridership
goes
and
balancing
the
overall
system
and
things
like,
especially
when
there's
you
know,
funding
shortages
and
driver
shortages,
yeah.
E
B
I
D
C
I
Think
I
think,
what's
come
up
in
a
couple
of
different
conversations
around
similar
things
where
the
brt
is
being
added.
Is
that
our
system
tendency
right
now
is
to
say
okay,
we
will
eliminate
stops
instead
of
okay,
we
will
eliminate
you
know:
structural
barriers,
like
drivers
like
yeah
signal
priority,
and
so
it
just
it
keeps
putting
it
back.
The
burden
is
borne
by
the
people
who
can
least
who
are
already
you
know,
spending
more
time
getting
places
and
who
are
more
isolated
from
all
the
other
barriers
of
prioritizing
cars
over
people.
C
B
J
Well,
do
we
need
more
information
about
this
project?
It
sounds
like
we
have
some
questions
about
signal,
prioritization,
eliminating
old
routes
that
are
being
replaced
by
brt
or
the
intent
to
do
that
and
prioritizing
those
who
are
truly
transit
dependent.
I
mean
if
we
have
questions
like
that,
I
guess
we
could
ask
hey.
Could
you
come
back
and
explain
our
answers.
I
To
our
questions,
I
thought
those
were
mainly
touched
on
aside
from
perhaps
signal
priority,
which
seems
to
be
operational
and
generally
is
at
a
later
stage.
So
I
think
we
could
pass
the
resolution
and
see
we'll
be
checking
on
things,
but
I
don't
think
these
are
things
we're
getting
answered.
I
think
it's
the
resolution's
more
about
raising
the
the.
E
J
D
H
I
Hey,
I
will
kind
of
go
over
all
of
our
all
of
our
stuff
a
little
briefly,
and
then
we
have
one
resolution
that
was
not
ready
in
time
for
inclusion,
and
I
don't
know
where
we
want
to
put
that,
but
we,
our
meeting
last
month,
we
had
report
back
from
the
88
transition
plan
from
amy
kind
of
letting
us
know
what
was
contract.
What's
being
observed,
some
of
the
things
that
are
being
worked
on,
like
the
curb
ramp.
I
I
I
So
it's
keep
that
kind
of
bubbling
in
your
head
for
individuals
or
groups
or
places
or
different
ways
to
continue
recruiting
members,
especially
people
with
experiences
that
aren't
represented
right
now
on
the
pack
or
bring
your
brainstorming
about
how
we
can
improve
what
we
do
within
the
pack
to
make
it
more
accessible,
more
welcoming
anything
else
as
well,
and
we
closed
out
the
the
pnp
meeting
talking
about
winter
maintenance,
because
it's
a
good
way
to
keep
warm.
When
you
get
angry
like
that
in.
I
I
had
a
really
long
slide
show
that
millicent
was
kind
enough
to
go
through
at
a
really
great
pace.
Millis-
and
I
don't
know
if
I
had
a
chance
to
say
that
at
least
for
me-
I
don't
know
for
others,
but
it
was
like.
I
don't.
It
felt
like
a
skill
I
didn't
know
was
there
until
I
it
just
felt
like
it
was
the
right
pacing.
I
It's
definitely
it's
definitely
something
we're
talking
about
regardless
and
we
have
expertise
on
so
that'll.
Be
the
resolution
that
I
read
and
I
shared
the
slideshow
deck
with
all
pac
members
and
I'm
just
realizing
that
it
didn't
attach
to
the
last
agenda.
I
don't
I
didn't
check
to
see
if
it
I
thought
it
attached
to
this
agenda,
but
I
didn't
click
to
see
if
it
did
so,
if
it's
something
that
you
didn't
receive
but
want
to,
let
me
know
we
didn't
use
the
text
on
it
that
it
was
just
from
a
different
thing.
I
I
B
I
Perfect,
I'm
going
to
pull
it
up
in
my
email
just
so
I
can
see
looking
at
it
a
little
closer.
So
here's
the
resolution,
it's
a
long
one,
and
I
apologize
for
that,
but
this
is
about
as
short
as
I've
written
for
anything
to
do
with
winter.
In
minneapolis
in
may,
2018
public
works
presented
the
winter
maintenance
study
to
the
city
council's
tpw
committee.
I
At
that
time
the
pac
was
hopeful
that
the
report,
though
limited
in
scope
depth,
would
mark
the
beginning
of
an
effort
to
address
year-round
accessibility
to
our
transportation
network
for
all
residents.
In
the
intervening
four
years,
the
pac
has
requested
winter
maintenance
updates
from
public
works
on
a
roughly
quarterly
basis.
We've
repeatedly
invited
public
works
to
engage
on
winter
maintenance
with
us
in
our
role
as
their
primary
relevant
advisory
board,
representing
the
perspectives
and
expertise
of
impacted
communities,
with
the
exception
of
one
report
out
by
a
departing
staff.
Member
to
the
pac.
I
As
this
conversation
continues
to
gain
energy
within
our
communities,
we
ask
our
elected
officials
to
direct
public
works
to
meet
with
the
pac
on
the
following
fundamental
concerns.
We
have
regarding
winter
conditions,
vis-a-vis
the
city's
current
plan
processes
and
policies,
one
regulations
requiring
the
drainage
of
impervious
surfaces
on
private
properties
to
pass
across
sidewalks
before
entering
the
storm
drain
system.
I
Two
public
works
engineering
of
sidewalks,
including
slope
and
grade
three
public
works,
co-location
of
storm
drains
and
curb
ramps.
Four
public
works,
maintenance
practices
in
the
plowing
of
streets
and
alleys
that
create
a
and
or
that
a
create,
impassable
windrows
and
b
push
or
spray
chunks
of
snow
across
already
cleared
sidewalks
on
streets
with
no
boulevard.
I
We
are
eager
for
a
dialogue
with
public
works
staff
that
includes
topics
completely
absent
from
the
2018
study.
Specifically,
the
winter
maintenance
study
focused
almost
exclusively
on
individual
property
owner
sidewalks,
clearing
compliance
and
the
project
projected
feasibility
of
municipal
clearance.
The
study
ignored
both
the
multiple
ways
in
which
the
city
itself,
through
engineering
regulations
and
implementation,
not
only
fails
to
ensure
sidewalks,
clear
of
ice
and
snow,
but
actually
significantly
worsens
and
even
creates
dangerous
conditions.
F
C
A
I
B
A
B
F
A
D
C
I
I
am
completely
blanking
on
if
I
gave
the
context
of
where
we
were
aiming
this
towards
city
council
members
in
part
to
draw
their
attention
to
it,
while
it's
still,
while
it's
still
first
term
first
winter,
for
many
of
them
while
snow
is
still
on
the
ground
and
because
going
via
public
works
hasn't
worked.
So
we
talked
about
the
art,
the
strategy
around
it
a
little
bit
during
the
meeting
as
well.
B
Yeah
and
I'll
know
too
it'll
be
on
next
month
or
this
coming
months,
programs
and
policies.
So
the
next
meeting
for
pmp,
I'm
just
going
to
give
any
updates
about
when
the
chair
of
the
bicycle
advisory
committee-
and
I
will
be
presenting
to
the
tpw
committee
of
city
council
and
in
that
I
think,
we'll
cover
a
lot
of
ground
around
winter.
I
think.
Last
year
I
know
it
was
a
very
different
city
council.
B
We
presented
a
lot
on
design
decisions
and
how
they
still
prioritize
cars,
even
though
they
seemingly
make
walking
and
biking
feel
safer.
But
maybe
this
year
it'll
go.
You
know
beyond
that.
We
need
to
think
about
the
functionalities
of
winter,
especially
if
we
can
kind
of
invigorate
a
new
council
in
that
way.
So
that's
something
coming
up
on
pmp
and
hope.
They
also
have
dates
on
like
when.
J
B
Will
happen
and
when
you
guys
will
see
the
draft
presentation
so
that
you
can
give
notes
on
it
and
stuff.
So
if
you
can
attend
pnp,
I
highly
suggest
it
and
another
thing
that
will
happen
at
this
coming
months.
Pmp
is
they'll,
discuss
we
won't
have
we
don't
have
any
dates
or
knowledge
about
returning
to
in-person
meetings,
but
we
put
on
the
pmp
agenda
an
opportunity
to
discuss
the
option
for
that
because
yeah
it
looks
like
it
might
happen
soon
with
city
decisions.
F
I
But
I'm
planning
to
I'd
like
to
bring
it
back
to
pmp
after
that
and
I'm
curious,
if
there's
anybody
else
who
is
planning
to
or
might
want
to
kind
of,
be
part
of
diving
into
that
with
me,
if
not
no
worries,
but
I
thought
I'd,
throw
it
out
there
more
than
merrier
when
it
comes
to
reading
about
terrible
terrible
things.
I
guess.
B
B
B
B
K
Yeah,
thank
you.
Hey
guys.
I
my
name
is
abdi
newman.
I
am
a
teacher
for
the
blind
and
I
actually
attended
one
of
your
committee
meetings.
I
think
back
in
december
and
I
had
spoken
about
possibly
getting
some
help
with
thinking
up
some
ways
of
helping
out
blind
pedestrians
in
the
twin
cities,
and
I
did
exchange
some
emails
with
matthew
dierdell.
I
think
so.
G
I'll
jump
in
first
dude
thanks
for
coming
back.
This
is
chris
cartheizer
and
matthew
left
the
city.
He
was
formerly
the
lead
staff
on
this
committee
and
my
supervisor
and
left
recently,
so
you
can
take
down
my
contact,
which
I
don't
know
if
you
can
see
my
name,
but
it's
