Then
we
have
authorizing
a
master
partnership
agreement
with
the
minnesota
department
of
transportation
and
then
the
next
is
supporting
the
west
broadway
route.
Alignment
for
the
blue
line,
light
rail
transit
extension
and
submitting
city
of
minneapolis
comments
on
the
route
modification
report
to
hennepin,
county
and
metropolitan
county
I'll
note
that
there
is
a
revised
resolution
related
to
item
number
five.
So
I'll
pull
that
item
for
further
discussion.
A
We'll
now
move
on
to
consent,
agenda
consent,
agenda
item
number
five,
which
was
pulled
for
this
further
discussion;
I'll
repeat
it
again,
so
that
we
hear
it
supporting
the
west
broadway
route,
alignment
for
blue
line,
light
rail
transit
extension
and
submitting
city
of
minneapolis
comments
on
the
route
modification
report
to
hennepin,
county
and
metropolitan
council.
A
A
See
none
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
all
right
we
will
move
on
to
our
public
hearing
today
is
considering
an
ordinance
amending
the
water
and
sewer
code
director
anderson
kelleher,
who
will
be
presenting
on
this
item.
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair
presenting
today
is
annika.
Bankston
annika
is
the
director
of
water
treatment
and
distribution.
D
Thank
you
director,
madam
vice
chair
committee
members.
Again,
my
name
is
annika.
Bankston,
director
of
the
division
of
water
treatment
and
distribution
services,
I'm
presenting
an
overview
of
the
proposed
revisions
to
the
code
of
ordinances
that
are
cover
ordinances
that
relate
to
both
water
treatment
and
distribution
services,
as
well
as
our
surface
water
and
sewer
divisions.
D
The
second
was
upon
review,
making
sure
these
ordinances
are
reader,
friendly,
logically
organized
and
really
in
plain
language
that
everybody
can
understand
and
make
reference
to
and
understand
what
we're
talking
about.
Quite
frankly,
the
number
of
team
members
worked
on
these
ordinances
together
both
from
the
divisions
within
public
works,
namely
water
treatment
and
distribution
services,
surface
water
and
sewers,
but
we
found
that
items
in
the
ordinances
also
touch
things
that
related
to
utility
billing.
Obviously,
some
legal
review
of
different
things.
D
In
particular,
the
ordinances
relating
to
water
really
required
extensive
editing
and
reorganization
of
three
chapters
upon
working
with
the
city
clerk.
They
actually
recommended
a
full
repeal
and
replace
of
those
chapters,
rather
than
proceeding
with
a
very
complicated
red
line,
underscoring
strikethrough.
That
was
made
it
really
difficult
to
understand
the
changes
being
made.
So
those
those
chapters
are
proposed
to
be
repealed
and
replaced
for
surface
water
and
sewers
back
in
2018,
chapter
510
for
storm
water
and
chapter
511
for
sanitary
sewers
were
actually
added
to
the
ordinances.
D
This.
These
editions
set
the
stage
for
some
updates
to
chapter
509
that
we
needed
to
make
as
part
of
these
updates
and
then
also
in
2022.
With
these
ordinance
revisions,
we
needed
to
make
sure
that
anything
we
were
changing
in
the
current
chapters
didn't
leave
anything
out
of
the
stormwater
chapter,
so
those
were
some
of
the
additions
that
we
needed
to
make
with
this
one.
D
So
I
wanted
to
highlight
to
some
of
the
new
or
what
I
would
characterize
as
substantive
changes
to
the
ordinances.
Actually,
one
of
the
triggering
events
that
really
prompted
our
need
for
ordnance
updates
was
the
requirement
from
the
minnesota
health
department
to
deal
with
cross
connection
and
backflow
prevention
in
our
water
system.
D
As
part
of
our
sanitary
survey
that
the
minnesota
department
of
health
does
every
three
to
five
years
for
our
potable
drinking
water
system,
any
cross
connections
or
problems
with
backflow
is
actually
re
represented
as
a
high
hazard
and
can
actually
be
flagged
as
a
deficiency
in
our
community
water
system
and
it's
a
little
bit
complicated.
Given
we're
a
public
water
supplier
and
a
lot
of
the
problems
happen
inside
buildings
inside
private
properties.
So
we
needed
to
make
additions
to
the
ordinance
that
allowed
us
the
opportunity
to
go
in
and
implement
backflow
prevention
programs.
D
D
The
cost
of
these
service
line
replacements
has
really
gone
up
over
the
past
years.
An
average
water
service
line
replacement
is
about
seven
thousand
dollars
and
average
sanitary
repair
is
about
over
ten
thousand
dollars,
obviously
expecting
property
owners
to
repay
that
cost.
In
a
limited
amount
of
time
of
five
years,
it
can
be
very,
very
onerous
on
the
property
owner
so
by
state
statute.
We're
actually
allowed
to
have
up
to
20
years
to
prepay
those
assessments,
and
so
the
ordinance
allows
for
that.
D
The
proposed
ordinance
changes
allow
for
that
and
then,
in
addition,
we're
going
to
be
working
with
utility
billing
to
make
these
assessment
amounts
reflected
on
their
actual
utility
bills.
It
makes
it
more
clear
in
communicating
to
the
customers
what
their
responsibilities
are
and
really
what's
incorporated
with
their
water,
sanitary
and
storm
services.
D
Another
new
item
that
actually
came
up
last
year
during
summer
during
the
summer
drought,
when
we
had
to
implement
restrictions
for
the
first
time
in
in
over
30
years,
was
actually
taking
a
close
look
at
water
use
during
emergencies
or
declared
drought,
emergencies
and
previously
the
first
measure
of
enforcement.
If
people
were
not
following
water,
restriction
was
shut
off
of
water
and
that's
not
something
we
want
to
do
and
it's
something
we're
moving
away
from
as
a
drinking
water
utility
altogether.
D
So
the
proposed
ordinances
revisions
actually
allow
for
warnings,
subsequent
fines
and
violations,
and
then
in
extreme
measures.
You
know
if
it's
willful
neglect
that
we
or
willful
disregard
of
the
ordinances.
In
those
extreme
cases,
we
would
still
reserve
the
right
to
do
a
shut
off.
D
Some
other
items
we
did-
we
talked
about
making
this
you
know,
legible,
readable,
understandable,
was
removing
a
lot
of
things
that
was
really
extra
or
not
applicable
to
these
to
our
water
utilities.
D
We
reorganize
the
chapters.
This
is
the
proposed
markup
as
to
what
the
ordinance
will
read
again
rather
than
referring
to
sewage,
sewers
and
sewage
disposal.
The
proposed
change
now
the
title
will
be
water,
storm
water
and
sanitary
sewer,
chapter
505
will
be
specific
to
billing
and
which
moves
content
that
was
in
other
sections
related
to
billing.
All
within
one
chapter
chapter
507
is
now
referred
to
general
again
to
better
reflect
the
general
information.
That's
in
there
chapter,
509,
we'll
just
reflect
water
drinking
water
services.
D
Chapter
510,
clear
clearly
is
about
stormwater
management
and
chapter
511
is
about
the
sanitary
sewer
system,
our
interest
in
plain
language
and
simplified
message.
Just
for
general
reference.
You
know
we
went
from
very
kind
of
wordy
and
you
know
old
language
type
legalese
I
would
say
to
simple
clear
reader
messages.
D
We
basically
the
overall
word
count
for
the
three
chapters
was
reduced
by
about
28
percent
for
numbered
lists.
We
wanted
to
move
from
again
dense
paragraphs.
It
was
hard
to
find
what
you
were
talking
and
refer
in
which
items
were
referring
to
which
you
know
which
subheadings
are
referring
to
which
headings
so
working
with
the
clerk's
office.
We
moved
to
the
proper
formatted
list
in
the
new
ordinance
and
accessibility.
D
Well,
there
was
a
lot
of
when
we
were
reviewing
it,
there's
a
lot
of
definitions
that
even
we
in
the
divisions
and
the
technical
experts
weren't
quite
sure
what
we
meant
by
that.
So
we
eliminated
redundant
terms
consolidated
the
terms
and
then
created
a
clear
list
of
definitions
that
apply
to
them.
D
So
again,
the
intent
for
this
was
to
add
some
missing
information.
Clear,
clearly,
lay
out
all
the
different
chapters
make
it
accessible
and
make
sure
that
people
that
are
referring
to
these
ordinances
really
understand,
what's
expected
of
the
city
and
of
the
people
that
need
to
comply
with
the
different
ordinances.
A
Thank
you,
miss
vincent
we're
going
to
go
to
the
public
hearing
piece
and
then
we'll
have
any
comments
or
questions
after
that.
That's
all
right.
So
before
I
open
the
public
hearing,
I'd
like
to
remind
everyone
that
this
is
a
public
hearing
on
the
water
and
sewer
code
revision,
and
so
all
public
comments
should
pertain
to
the
water
and
sewer
code
revision
with
that
I'll,
open
the
public
hearing
and
I'm
going
to
ask
the
clerk.
A
E
E
E
Excuse
me
in
infrastructure,
construction
projects
that
contribute
to
the
vibrancy
of
the
city
that
I
call
home.
Our
members
work
on
a
wide
array:
array
of
critical
infrastructure
from
roads
and
bridges
to
wind
and
solar
projects
to
critical
water
infrastructure.
In
our
city
we
have
two
local
unions
within
the
city,
local
563
and
local
363,
both
located
in
northeast
minneapolis,
local
563
members,
work
in
private
sector
construction,
including
water
and
sewer
contractors
that
install
repair
and
re-line
water,
sewer
and
storm
water
lines
and
associated
infrastructure
in
minneapolis.
E
Local
363
in
northeast
minneapolis
represent
city
of
minneapolis,
public
works
and
parks,
department,
employees
who
install
and
repair
the
city's
critical
water
infrastructure
together,
563
and
363
members
play
a
really
critical
role
in
maintaining
and
building
our
water
infrastructure.
Throughout
the
city
and
these
jobs
have
provided
really
good
family
sustaining
careers
for
these
folks,
helping
our
residents
helping
our
residents
that
are
members
and
then
also
folks,
like
myself,
who
are
residents
ensuring
that
we
have
safe
and
affordable
water
and
sewer
systems.
E
So,
ultimately,
I'm
here
today,
on
behalf
of
leona,
just
to
seek
clarity
around
the
proposed
ordinance
amending
title
19
of
the
minneapolis
code
of
ordinances
relating
to
water,
sewer
and
sewers
and
sewage
disposal.
We
want
to
ensure
that
our
members
continue
to
have
work
opportunities
to
support
their
families,
working
on
the
city's
water
and
sanitary
sewer
and
storm
water
systems,
and
that
we
maintain
the
skilled
and
diverse
workforce
and
contractor
base
needed
to
affordably
and
reliably
maintain
our
water
infrastructure.
A
F
Thank
you
churkovsky.
I
I
just
wanted
to
thank
director
bankston
for
coming
in
today
she
hosted
us
at
our
water
treatment
facility
in
northeast
and
the
north
northeast
suburbs,
just
a
couple
of
weeks
ago
with
director
anderson
kelleher
and
showed
us
around
our
incredible
infrastructure
that
that
gives
all
of
us,
our
water
and
really
thankful
for
the
work
that
you've
done
over
the
last
year.
F
Many
years
and
and
just
thank
you
for
coming
and
showing
us,
I
know
it's
this
part
was
a
it
wasn't
as
exciting
as
as
like
seeing
our
water
move,
but
we
have
public
water,
we're
the
one
of
the
first
cities
in
the
state
to
to
make
this
type
of
critical
investment
in
our
infrastructure,
and-
and
it's
like
something-
we
don't
even
think
about
anymore,
but
has
a
massive
impact
in
everyone's
lives.
So
thank
you
for
your
work.
A
A
C
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
I
am
going
to
say
a
few
words
first
before
the
introduction
of
our
presenter
today.
This
is
almost
four
years
in
the
making,
madam
chair
and
committee
members
to
get
to
the
layout
approval
for
hennepin
avenue.
South
hennepin
avenue
south
is
approximately
a
1.4
mile
stretch
of
roadway,
and
this
layout
was
first
presented
to
the
previous
council.
Last
fall.
C
C
C
The
abrt
line
is
a
14-mile
line,
this
being
1.4
miles
of
that
14
miles,
edina
into
downtown
minneapolis
after
four
years
today,
becca
hughes,
who
is
the
senior
transportation,
senior
transportation,
planner
in
transportation,
planning
and
programming,
and
mr
allen
klugman,
will
be
who's.
A
principal
professional
engineer
and
tran
in
traffic
and
parking
services
will
be
co-presenting.
C
We
also
have
available
a
representative
from
metro
transit.
I
believe
the
room
is
busy,
so
I'm
not
sure
if
mr
thompson
is
in
the
room
or
nearby,
but
if
he
is
or
katie
roth
that
katie's
nearby.
That
may
be
helpful
as
well,
so
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
becca.
Madam
chair.
G
Good
afternoon
sirakoski
and
committee
members
again,
I'm
becca
hughes,
senior
transportation,
planner
in
transportation,
planning
and
programming.
First,
thank
you
for
allowing
our
project
team
the
opportunity
to
present
briefly
to
the
committee
and
to
address
questions
on
the
hennepin
avenue
south
reconstruction
project.
Just
a
really
quick
preamble.
This
committee
meeting
as
many
years
in
the
making
as
director
anderson
keller
mentioned
a
day.
Perhaps
a
few
of
us
were
unsure,
would
ever
come.
I
wanted
to
first
acknowledge
the
project
team,
of
course,
including
our
consultants
and
our
partners
at
metro
transit.
G
And
in
march
of
this
year,
the
department
brought
forth
an
action
that
allowed
us
to
pursue
a
variance
request
from
mndot
state
aid,
design
standards
regarding
median
with
and
bikeway
clear
zone
and
bikeway
design
speed,
and
these
were
officially
approved
through
mndot's
process
consistent
with
the
layout
before
you
today.
So
all
of
those
improvements
do
apply
to
the
layout.
That's
before
you
today.
So
I'll
begin
with
the
request
for
council
action.
Of
course,
three
of
those
are
action.
One
is
a
resolution.
G
The
project
scope-
I
know
all
of
you-
are
all
aware
of
the
project
scope
at
this
point,
but
douglas
avenue
on
the
north
is
the
northernmost
boundary
heading
into
downtown
and
extends
south
again
about
1.4
miles
on
the
hennepin
avenue
corridor
to
lake
street.
The
last
time
the
street
was
reconstructed
was
approximately
65
years
ago,
so
in
terms
of
existing
conditions.
G
There's
also,
of
course,
a
dynamic
transit
lane
that
provides
parking
during
the
off-peak
hours
and
then,
of
course,
there's
full-time
parking
opposite
the
street,
from
where
we
have
those
dynamic
lanes,
striped
and,
of
course,
there's
four
vehicle
lanes
as
well.
There's
currently
not
dedicated
space,
of
course,
for
bicycle
facilities
on
the
corridor,
and
when
we
add
up
all
of
this
space,
we
have
about
88
feet
of
right-of-way
to
work
with
which
isn't
a
lot.
G
Certainly,
when
we're
trying
to
accommodate
as
much
as
we
are
on
this
corridor,
including
our
modal
networks,
as
well
as
all
of
our
desired
enhancements,
so
this
is
our
favorite
photo.
We
use
it
probably
in
every
presentation
we've
given,
but
this
really
just
shows
a
graphic
illustration
of
the
existing
conditions
again
out
on
the
corridor
that
have
again
remained
largely
unchanged
over
the
last
65
years.
G
Our
policy
plans-
I
won't
say
too
much
about
the
policy
plans.
I
know
you've
been
briefed
on
the
policy
plans.
Policy
plans,
however,
are
a
huge
foundation
or
the
basis
of
our
recommendation
and
anytime.
We
bring
a
layout
forward.
Our
policy
plans
are
essentially
where
we
start,
of
course,
they're
the
foundation
for
our
recommended
design,
and
we've
also
integrated
that
with
extensive
technical
analysis
on
this
corridor,
as
well
as
public
feedback.
G
We
had
our
sort
of
re-kick
off
for
the
project
in
september
and
october
of
2020
our
third
round
last
spring,
and
then
we
released
our
recommended
layout
again
in
december
of
2021,
and
then
we
basically
took
comments
on
that
recommended
layout.
Through
january,
we've
had
over
60
neighborhood
business,
special
service
districts
and
property
owner
meetings
and
open
house
and
virtual
meetings,
and
we've
received
more
than
10
000
comments,
and
that's
certainly
a
huge
number
and,
as
you
can
see
from
the
bar
chart,
that's
represented
on
the
right
side
of
your
screen.
G
G
In
terms
of
existing
transportation
users
again,
this
is
just
to
remind
you
of
what
we
have
on
an
average
day
out
on
the
corridor.
It
is
one
of
the
busiest
quarters
by
far
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
it
has
the
highest
pedestrian
volumes
near
the
southerly
portion
of
the
corridor
concentrated
near
the
intersections
of
lake
and
lagoon.
Specifically,
it's
also
a
very
heavily
used
transit
quarter,
which
was
part
of
the
reason.
Of
course,
we
implemented
the
transit
lanes
in
2019..
G
G
So
this
is
our
base
section,
and
I
know
you're
all
familiar
with
this.
This
is
the
base
section
that
we
released
in
december.
This
is
the
base
section
that
we've
shared
publicly.
This
is
what
we
received
public
comment
on
beginning
in
december
through
january
of
last
year,
and
this
is
the
very
same
base
section
that
we
are
looking
for
layout
approval
today
and
basically,
what
you
can
see
in
terms
of
features
is
that,
of
course,
we
have
sidewalks
and
green
space
where
we
can
in
the
base
section
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
G
We
have
the
integration
of
the
two-way
protected
bike
facility
on
the
east
side
of
the
corridor,
two
curbside
dedicated
transit
lanes
in
each
direction,
as
well
as
one
lane
in
each
direction,
and
then,
of
course,
we
have
the
variable
median,
which
we
feel
is
a
really
key
feature
to
the
redesign
of
the
corridor.
It
really
helps
with
access
control,
precluding
mid-block
left-hand,
turns
and
really
improving
safety
for
all
of
the
users,
including
pedestrians
and
cyclists,
which
are
currently
over-represented
in
injury
accidents
based
on
statistics
and
the
current
design
that
we
have
on
the
corridor
today.
G
This
is
what
the
cross
section
looks
like
essentially
at
the
left
turn
lane,
so
we
have
left
turn
lanes
that
are
situated
at
key
locations
throughout
the
entire
corridor.
Again,
this
shows
the
street
section
at
an
intersection
with
the
left-hand
turn
lanes.
The
left-hand
turn
lanes
are
something
that
doesn't
exist
out
on
the
corridor
today,
so
they're
important
for
vehicle
circulation
and
mobility,
and
this
section
occurs
specifically
at
the
intersections
of
22nd
24th,
26th
and
28th.
So
we
have
it
essentially
at
alternating
intersections
with
this
space
needed
for
the
turn
lane.
G
At
this
point,
the
median
is
removed
from
this
section,
because
we
simply
don't
have
the
space
to
accommodate
it.
You
can
see
that
the
shifting
of
the
boulevard
on
the
right
side
of
your
screen
adjacent
to
the
bikeway
is
a
transitional
space.
It
occurs
at
all
intersections,
even
when
there
isn't
a
left-hand
turn.
It
does
create
and
allow
space
for
vehicles
to
yield,
to
certainly
people
that
are
walking
and
biking
also
to
improve
those
sight
lines.
G
We
also
maintain
a
one
foot
buffer,
which
is
the
requirement
between
the
sidewalk
and
the
bikeway
in
this
cross
section,
and
you
can
also
see
that
as
we
approach
intersections,
this
is
our
most
constrained
environment.
This
is
our
most
constrained
location
as
we
design
the
corridor,
and
you
can
see
that
the
bikeway
is
actually
reduced
from
the
10
foot
standard,
which
it
is
for
the
majority
of
the
quarter
down
to
8
feet.
G
And
then
transitioning
into
what
it
looks
like
when
we
integrate
parking
and
loading
bays
throughout
the
corridor.
Of
course,
this
has
been
a
huge
point
of
contention
is
how
much
parking
is
being
removed
and
how
many
parking
bays
are
not
being
put
back.
There
are
currently
311
spaces
out
on
the
corridor.
Today
we
have
a
space
for
about
20
parking
and
loading
bays
that
we
have
distributed
in
locations
where
they're
most
desired
and
frankly,
where
they
fit.
Given
the
constraints
and
the
the
amount
of
right-of-way
that
we're
dealing
with.
G
This
is
just
a
plan
view
so
just
really
to
walk
through
and
then
I'm
going
to
actually
turn
this
over
to
allen
after
this.
But
this
is
our
plan,
view
section
and
really
just
wanted
to
pinpoint
a
couple
of
locations.
This
is
the
intersection
of
hennepin
and
25th,
and
so
you
can
see
some
of
the
key
critical
design
features
that
we
have
included
in
this
layout.
Again,
you
can
see
the
two-way
east
side
protected
bicycle
facility
that
runs
along
the
corridor.
G
You
can
see
the
two
priority
transit
lanes
that
are
in
both
the
north
and
the
southbound
direction.
You
can
see
the
reduction
again
in
through
lanes
down
to
one
lane
in
each
direction,
as
well
as
the
median
which
is
creating
a
separation
between
those
north
and
southbound
lanes.
One
additional
point-
and
alan
can
speak
to
this
in
more
detail
too,
but
we
do
have
additional
vehicle
lanes
at
both
the
north
and
the
south
portions
of
the
corridor,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
specifically
at
the
lake
and
lagoon
intersection.
G
We
have
short
blocks
and
lots
of
turning
movements,
and
so
we
will
have
additional
vehicle
lanes
there,
and
then
we
have
also,
at
the
end
point
closest
to
the
franklin
avenue
intersection,
and
so
there
are
more
vehicle
lanes
there
to
accommodate
both
the
traffic
going
into
and
on
on
and
off.
The
I-94
ramps,
also
just
to
point
out
a
couple
more
things
with
my
cursor
here:
parking
and
loading
bays.
That's
an
example
of
one.
Of
course.
G
A
huge
feature
of
this
project
is
how
closely
we've
worked
with
metro
transit
on
integration
of
the
brt
platforms
and
supporting
e-line
operations
in
the
future.
So
you
can
see
both
the
north
and
southbound
far
side
stops
that
will
be
constructed
along
with
this
project
and
then
one
feature
which
this
might
be.
One
of
my
favorite
features,
or
probably
the
favorite
feature
in
this
layout-
is
really
our
ability
to
have
some
enhanced
pedestrian
crossings,
specifically
at
two
locations
where
we
have
really
long
blocks.
G
There
are
double,
if
not
more,
the
typical
length
of
a
block,
and
so
we
do
have
signalized
pedestrian
intersections,
both
at
the
fremont
and
25th
and
half
street
locations.
So
it
will
allow
for
better
mobility,
allow
people
to
cross
in
locations
where
there
are
higher
pedestrian
volumes
and
then
one
more
slide.
For
me,
this
is
showing
many
of
the
same
features,
but
the
difference
here,
of
course,
is
that
this
is
a
location
specifically
at
28th
street,
again
locations
at
22nd,
24th,
26th
and
28th.
G
Where
we
have
dedicated
left-hand
turns,
you
can
see
them
in
both
directions,
and
you
can
also
see
the
essentially
what
that
means
again
is
the
removal
of
the
median
at
that
location.
G
One
other
thing
to
note,
too,
is
just
we
are
paying
attention
to
how
this
corridor
intersects
with
the
existing
bike
facilities,
so
26th
and
28th
currently
have
protected
bicycle
facilities
and
how
we
transition
the
the
bikers
to
that
directionality.
So
to
speak
in
a
protected
way
through
that
intersection,
and
I'm
gonna
turn
it
over
to
alan
here
and
he
oh,
I
one
more
sorry
and
then
one
other
approval
that
we
have
is
regarding
fremont
avenue,
and
this
would
be
the
kowalski's
that's
just
off
of
your
screen.
G
This
is
a
proposal
that
we
will
be
changing
this
to
two-way
operation
and
part
of
that
is
being
responsive
to
working
directly
with
kowalski's.
But
basically,
what
this
does
in
essence
is.
It
complements,
of
course,
our
new
corridor
layout
design
and
because
of
the
changing
circulation
and
traffic
patterns,
it
will
benefit.
Certainly
the
northbound
drivers
right
that
are
looking
to
transition
and
make
that
left-hand
turn
southbound
drivers
will
be
no
change
but
because
of
the
median
that
we
have
located
here,
they'll
have
to
make
this
maneuver
on
to
24th
and
on
to
fremont.
G
H
Thanks
becca,
madam
chair
members
of
the
committee
good
afternoon
again,
my
name
is
alan
klugman,
I'm
a
principal
professional
engineer
with
the
traffic
parking
services,
division
of
public
works,
and
I
love
seeing
this
layout
and
I
especially
love
seeing
the
photo
that
becca
showed
earlier,
because
that
shows
the
road
that
was
built
65
years
ago.
H
We're
now
looking
to
what
will
this
road
look
like
for
the
next
50
60
plus
years
and
as
the
director
noted
as
becca
talked
about
today,
we're
here
to
talk
about
the
physical
design,
the
physical
space
layout
of
this
roadway
and
that's
the
approval
we're
looking
for,
but
as
with
any
large
construction
project,
we
always
layer
on
top
of
that
in
an
operational
plan.
We
do
that
with
every
big
project
and
that's
what
I
want
to
talk
about
today.
H
The
operations
that
we
propose
to
integrate
in
with
the
physical
construction
that
you
see
on
the
screen
here
and
when
I
talk
about
the
operational
plan
for
this
corridor.
There's
two
main
things
that
I
want
to
talk
about.
The
first
item
is
to
consider
and
utilize
a
flexible
or
dynamic
approach
to
the
curbside
lane.
I'll
talk
about
that
in
specifics
and
the
second
operational
plan
that
we
want
to
speak
about
is
to
look
at
a
more
area-wide
approach
to
parking.
H
H
So,
first
let
me
talk
about
the
notion
of
dynamic
operation
of
the
transit
priority
lane,
and
I
want
to
speak
to
two
things.
One
is:
how
would
we
go
about
determining
what
hours
it's
used
for
transit
versus
what's
hours,
it
may
be
used
for
parking,
and
the
second
item
I
want
to
speak
about
is
how
we
manage
that
lane
to
ensure
understandability
of
its
use
and
to
ensure
compliance
with
what
it
is
during
different
times
of
the
day.
So,
first,
let's
talk
about
the
hours
of
operation.
Now
we
don't
have
that
set.
H
Yet
this
project
will
be
talking
about
schedule
later
in
this
presentation.
This
project
is
not
open
until
fall
of
2025
or
spring
of
2026..
So
we
have
about
four
years
to
work
on
that
and
to
continue
on
beyond
that.
But
the
most
basic
point
I
can
say-
and
the
most
strongest
point
I
can
say,
is
that
we
will
absolutely
do
that
in
collaboration
with
metro
transit.
H
We
greatly
greatly
support
the
e-line
and
want
to
see
and
need
to
say
it
operate
efficiently
and
the
reason
I
can
say
so
confidently
that
we
will
work
effectively
with
metro
transit.
Is
because
that's
nothing
new
for
us,
we
do
that
all
the
time
we
actually,
in
addition
to
countless
actually
uncountable
number
of
meetings
and
phone
calls
we
have
with
metro
transit.
We
have
standing
monthly
meetings,
our
traffic
operations
staff
with
the
metro,
transit
bus
operations,
staff
and
a
separate
meeting
with
the
lrt
staff.
H
In
fact,
my
sheer
coincidence
of
calendar,
our
main
meeting
for
the
bus
operations
discussion,
the
city
of
minneapolis
was
earlier
this
morning,
so
we
have
a
long
history
of
working
with
metro
transit
with
both
their
planners
and
their
engineers,
and
actually
now
they
have
data
scientists,
I'm
actually
on
a
first
name
basis
with
the
metro,
transit
data
scientists.
That's
how
much
we
work
with
their
data.
H
So
as
we
look
into
the
future
as
we
redesign
the
road
and
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
those
traffic
flows
are
like,
we'll
have
a
very
good
understanding
of
when
it's
most
advantageous
to
provide
the
exclusive,
bustling
it'll
be
based
on
data
it'll
be
done
in
collaboration
with
metro
transit
quickly.
I'll
just
say
in
terms
of
why
I
feel
so
good
about
this.
The
strongest
partnership
we
have
in
the
minneapolis
traffic
group
is
with
our
partners
at
metro
transit.
It's.
H
Why
already
today,
as
I
stand
here,
we
have
120
signalized
intersections
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
that
have
special
transit
signal,
priority
equipment
in
our
traffic
control
cabinet
to
speed
the
buses
or
the
light
rail
through
those
corridors.
It's
why
we've
done
the
other
transit
enhancement
projects
over
the
last
several
years.
So
clearly
we
won't
be
doing
this
in
a
vacuum.
We'll
cooperate
with
metro
transit
on
what
those
hours
need
to
be.
The
second
part
of
the
dynamic
operation
is
the
notion
of
how
do
we
secure
those
lanes?
H
How
do
we
make
sure
they're
used
properly
by
the
different
times
of
day
and
two
things
I
want
to
speak
about?
One
is
that
if
you
look
at
hennepin
today,
we
have
meters
today
from
lake
street
up
to
28th
north
of
there,
it's
really
a
parking
free
for
all.
We
do
not
have
active
management
of
that.
Clearly
in
the
future,
we
will
look
to
meter
hennepin
when
we're
using
it
dynamically.
H
So
when
we
look
out
into
the
future,
if
a
new
visitor
is
coming
to
minneapolis
and
trying
to
understand
hennepin
avenue,
they'll
just
look
at
their
phone
and
know
if
they
can
park
or
not.
So
we're
very
certain
that
we'll
have
good
compliance
with
operation
out
here
and
the
second
part
of
the
compliance
is
with
the
full
rebuild
that
we're
talking
about
now.
We'll
have
the
opportunity
to
have
very
robust
signing,
marking
and
management
so
that
the
public
clearly
understands
the
use
of
the
lane.
H
If
we
look
at
the
picture
at
the
bottom,
when
we
did
the
retrofit
in
hennepin
a
couple
years
ago,
we
had
budget
to
put
up
one
electronic
sign
to
denote
when
the
parking
hours
are
versus
the
bus
hours
in
the
future,
with
a
full
rebuild.
We'll
have
many
many
more
of
those
signs
very
much
like
you
see
downtown
today
with
marquette,
2nd
avenue
or
use
dynamic
signing
to
indicate
when
parking
is
available.
H
H
But
what
we're
going
to
do
is
look
at
the
data
work
with
metro
transit,
and
these
are
the
sorts
of
themes
we'd
be
looking
for,
and
I'm
going
to
spend
a
lot
of
time
on
this,
but
just
give
you
an
overview,
we
kind
of
have
a
little
schematic
here
where
yellow
represents
the
morning
period.
The
gray
line
represents
the
evening
period
and,
if
you
think
about
the
morning,
we
have
very
high
peaking
traffic,
a
lot
of
commuters,
heading
up
towards
the
freeway
and
heading
into
downtown.
H
So
what
we
know
about
the
morning
is
at
high
peak
not
for
a
real
long
period
of
time,
if
we
contrast
that,
with
the
afternoon
different
types
of
trips,
not
just
work
trips
but
shopping,
taking
the
kids
to
soccer
practice.
What
have
you
we
see
more
of
a
bi-directional
flow
of
traffic
and
the
volume
stay
fairly
high
for
a
longer
number
of
hours.
H
Another
thing
we
notice
in
the
pm
when
we
look
at
the
data
is
that
we
need
to
be
flexible
and
thinking
about
how
we
would
use
these
lanes
because
we
see
breaks
in
the
traffic
counts
now.
Clearly,
the
higher
the
traffic
volume,
the
more
necessity
there
is
for
exclusive
bus
lane.
But,
for
example,
if
you
look
at
the
corridor
today,
north
of
25th,
the
traffic
arms
are
much
higher,
northbound
and
south
of
25th.
So
maybe
in
the
future,
when
we
consider
dynamic
lane
arrangement,
we
may
not
do
it
quarter
wide.
H
H
Now,
as
we
look
at
the
use
of
hennepin
for
parking
part
of
the
time,
we
want
to
kind
of
start
to
blend
it
in
with
the
notion
that
second
operational
strategy
talked
about
the
area
parking
approach.
So
if
we
look
at
the
charter
on
the
left-
and
this
is
just
an
example-
we
kind
of
did
a
sample
of
what
might
the
parking
count
on
hennepin
look
like
throughout
the
different
periods
of
the
day.
H
H
268
is
how
many
parking
spaces
we
can
fit
along
hennepin,
and
the
notion
with
this
graph
that
we're
showing
is
that
at
different
times
of
the
day,
based
on
whether
we
have
the
lane
on
one
side
or
both
sides
or
for
what
length
of
the
corridor,
the
number
of
parking
stalls
would
vary,
but
there'll
always
be
some
of
a
long
hennepin.
But
the
second
part
of
that
I
want
to
blend
into
the
idea
of
an
area-wide
parking
approach.
H
Is
we
need
to
think
outside
the
head
up
and
corridor
for
what
are
the
parking
resources
that
serve
the
businesses
and
the
activities
along
hennepin
and
with
the
picture
on
the
right,
we
kind
of
speak
to
that
right
now,
the
number
you've
all
heard
311
spaces
on
hennepin.
That's
really
only
part
of
the
overall
parking
resource
in
the
area.
If
we
take
a
little
broader
view,
go
within
one
block
of
hennepin.
Look
at
the
side
streets
in
addition
to
hennepin.
H
Today
we
have
3
600
parking
spaces
in
and
around
hennepin,
some
of
those
on
the
public
street,
the
curbsides
that
we
control
some
of
them
in
the
nearby
off
street
lots
and
ramps,
obviously
controlled
by
private
sector.
Our
notion
with
the
area-wide
parking
plan
is
to
look
to
better
re,
better
utilize,
those
resources
to
support
the
activities
like
hennepin.
Now,
the
great
part
of
this
graphic,
the
cross
street
on
street
parking.
That's
real
estate
that
we
control
that's
the
curb
line
on
those
nearby
cross
streets
or
because
hampton
runs
in
an
angle.
H
It's
some
of
those
north
south
streets
that
intersect
with
it
now,
just
like
ken
up
in
north.
At
28
that
parking's
a
free-for-all
today,
we
clearly
think
in
the
future
that
we
need
to
better
manage
mark,
sign
and
meter
that
so
that
it
can
be
used
as
a
parking
and
loading
resource
for
hennepin
and
I'd
like
to
give
you
one
quick
example.
H
When
we
implemented
the
red
bus
lane
project,
we
obviously
couldn't
have
the
parking
and
the
drop-off
going
on
when
the
bus
lane
was
active.
So
we
worked
with
new
horizons.
We
relocated
their
drop-off
zone
student
parking
zone
to
a
nearby
side
street
to
emerson
on
the
side
of
the
building.
Therefore,
we're
able
to
provide
the
parking
resource
they
needed
it
just
wasn't
on
the
hennepin
storefront
site.
It
was
on
a
side
street.
H
H
For
example,
if
there's
a
bike
lane,
maybe
that's
not
a
road,
we
look
to
put
parking
if
there's
a
road
that
is
more
open,
if
you
will,
we
can
better
manage
that
and
make
it
a
resource
for
hennepin.
So
again
we
don't
mean
this
as
a
finished
product.
We
just
want
to
let
you
know
we
started
to
think
about
what
does
that
operations
plan?
H
But
in
summary
about
the
operation
plan,
I
want
to
say
that
what
we're
talking
about
is
not
unique
to
minneapolis.
We
started
to
to
do
bits
of
this
ourselves
with
area
parking,
dynamic
lanes,
but
we're
in
constant
contact
with
many
many
other
cities
throughout
the
us.
In
all
cities,
like
minneapolis,
we're
kind
of
in
the
same
situation,
we're
reimagining
our
streets,
we're
rethinking
our
streets
for
the
next
50
60
plus
years.
We
want
to
make
it
more
narrow
and
safer.
We
want
to
make
it
more
multimodal.
H
We
have
competing
demands
on
the
road.
We
need
to
overlay
an
operational
strategy
on
top
of
that
physical
design.
To
achieve
that,
so
the
techniques
we're
talking
about
today
with
dynamic
use
of
lanes
and
area
parking.
I
just
want
to
tell
you
we're
not
the
only
ones
looking
at
that.
These
have
been
successful
strategies
elsewhere,
and
I
know
they
can
be
successful
strategies
for
hanuman.
So
we're
really
looking
forward
to
implementing
those.
H
G
We
are
now
at
this
point
of
looking
to
secure
layout
approval
and,
along
with
that,
we're
doing
a
lot
of
other
work,
we're
doing
utility
coordination,
we're
in
the
process
of
being
wanting
to
kick
off
final
engineering,
which
that
depends
upon
whether
we're
able
to
secure
layout
approval
but
ultimately
big
picture.
As
allen
mentioned
earlier,
street
reconstruction
would
not
begin
until
2024,
so
we've
got
again
about
two
years
or
a
little
less
than
that.
G
So
again,
quickly
to
summarize
three
actions
in
front
of
us
one
resolution,
one
requesting
approval
of
the
layout:
that's
before
you
today,
authorizing
public
works
to
work
with
the
property
owners
again
for
easements
and
right-of-way,
which
is
a
typical
accompanying
action
that
comes
along
with
the
layout
again
repealing
the
one-way
street
on
fremont
avenue
and
installing
parking
restrictions
on
the
east
side
of
fremont
and,
last
but
not
least,
the
passage
of
resolution
establishing
parking
restrictions,
as
required
because
of
the
fact
that
hennepin
avenue
is
a
state
aid
street
and
I'll
close
there
and
we're
happy
to
address
any
questions.
A
J
Yeah,
thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
there
are
some
things
a
lot
of
the
work
that
we're
doing
as
policymakers
is
trying
to
define
problems
in
a
way
that
we
can
solve
them.
And
for
me,
this
redesign
layout
is
solving
the
problem
of
road
deaths.
It's
solving
the
problem
of
likability
or
lack
of
bikeability
lack
of
pedestrian
access,
and
the
dedicated
bus
lanes
is
solving
the
challenge
of
shifting
vehicle
miles
from
individual
cars
to
public
transit.
So
that's
like
a
very
clear
solution
to
a
very
clear
problem.
H
We
do
our
technical
analysis,
we
we
involve
the
public
with
engagement
and
feedback,
and
we
do
have
a
multi-modal
approach
here
where
we're
trying
to
serve
all
the
stakeholders
in
the
corridor,
and
we
do
feel
that
it's
a
it's
been
a
difficult
time
on
hennepin.
We
all
know
that
and
we're
going
to
have
a
difficult
time
with
some
construction,
and
we
want
to
maintain
the
flexibility
again
we're
not
setting
hours
here.
We
want
to
maintain
the
flexibility
that,
as
we
finish,
construction
and
look
at
the
business
climate,
look
at
the
future.
H
We
have
the
tools
we
need
that
possibly
parking
on
the
corridor
for
some
limited
hours,
with
the
transition
plan
to
get
the
full-time,
dynamic,
lane
full-time
listings.
We
want
to
have
that
flexibility
to
have
that
tool
in
our
tool
kit,
so
that
that's
really,
I
think
my
brief
answer
to
council
member
and
then
reference
to
the
six
percent
relative
to
the
3600.
H
We
totally,
we
totally
agree
with
your
math,
but
what
we've
heard
is
that
you
know
not
all
parking
spaces
are
the
same
right
and
you
know,
part
of
our
3600,
of
course
includes.
The
large
lots
includes
the
ramps.
If
you're
the
barber
shop
up
around
23rd,
you
know
the
ramp
down
near
lake
street
may
not
be
a
resource
for
you,
so
we
want
to
be
respectful
that
we
do
feel
the
number
paints
an
accurate
picture
that
there's
strong
resources
in
the
corridor,
but
we
do
know
there
is
some
value
to
the
nearby
park.
H
Another
thing
I
could
just
quickly
say
is
we
very
much
look
forward
to
getting
layout
approval
and
then
to
me,
that's
a
milestone
where
we
then
can
more
seriously
engage
the
businesses
we've
been
serious
before,
but
more
in
a
more
detailed
fashion,
engage
the
businesses
with
how
do
we
make
this
area-wide
parking
management
system
work
right
and
to
the
degree
that
that's
a
more
robust
and
successful
program
that
will
downplay
the
need
or
desire
for
parking
on
hennepin?
So
it's
partly
why
we're
trying
to
come
here
today
with
a
flexible
approach?
J
A
follow-up
question
would
be
around
the
scale
of
the
problem
that
we're
trying
to
solve.
So
for
me,
like
it's
immediately
clear
that
the
scale
of
climate
change
requires
a
fairly
significant
scale
of
a
policy
solution
and
as
we're
talking
about
again
the
six
percent,
which
that's
a
really
good
point.
If
you're
not
the
parking
structure
is
over
on,
you
know,
lake
street,
and
you
want
to
shop
on
franklin.
J
The
parking
structure
is
probably
not
going
to
solve
for
you
right,
but
I'm
trying
to
match
our
solution
to
the
scale
of
the
problem
and
the
scale
of
climate
change.
Is
this
thing
that
we
can't
even
fully
comprehend,
whereas
I
feel
like
the
scale
of
our
parking
challenge
is
much
more
finite
and
I'm
just
curious.
Are
we
scaling
our
solution
to
that
problem
appropriately?.
H
Ma'am
chair
members
of
the
council
member
members
of
the
committee,
I
do
understand
your
question
and
that's
a
hard
one
for
me
to
comment
on,
and
I
I
don't
mean
to
be
repetitive
or
to
answer
your
questions.
It's
partly
why
we
want
to
retain
the
tools
and
we
do
feel
we
very
much
want
to
promote
the
moat
shift.
It's
probably
one
of
the
private
things
I've
done
in
my
career,
the
last
10
years
with
a
number
of
bus
projects,
we'll
talk
about
that
some
other
time.
H
But
what
we
want
to
have
available
is
clearly
clearly
the
number
of
hours
of
lanes
that
serve
the
bus
when
they
need
it,
so
that
it
is
that
speedy
and
reliable
transit
trip,
the
the
two
most
important
things
for
transit
are
speed
and
reliability.
We
all
know
that
we
need
to
deliver
that
in
the
corridor.
We
feel
that
it's
probably
something
less
than
24
hours
in
which
the
bus
needs
that
lane.
I
think
that's
the
reason
why
we're
saying,
let's
retain
some
ability
for
dynamic
lanes.
H
One
thing
I
want
to
point
out,
I
think
becca
spoke
to
this.
We
feel
that
our
new
design,
although
it
gets
more
narrow,
it's
a
very
efficient
design
because
of
the
median
that'll
ban
left,
turns
and
then
left
turns
only
at
major
interceptions
with
turn
base.
We
think
this
is
going
to
be
a
very
smoothly
flowing
road
with
good
traffic
capacity.
H
It's
partly
why
we
want
to
have
a
little
bit
of
a
wait
and
see
attitude
that
in
kind
of
those
off-peak
hours
if
traffic
is
flowing
well-
and
we
have
the
metro,
transit
statistics
by
the
way
they
are
the
most
sophisticated
statistics
set
I've
ever
seen.
They
have
automatic
vehicle
location
devices
on
every
bus
every
trip
every
day,
every
route
every
trip
is
logged.
J
And
then
follow
up
on
that
because
it
just
reminded
me
of
a
question
I
had
during
the
presentation,
the
traffic
patterns
that
we're
measuring
today,
and
we
can
have
a
very
like
rigorous
statistical
analysis
of
the
analysis
of
those
traffic
patterns.
Are
we
doing
a
statistical
projection
based
on
that
historical
trend?
Data
is
that
is
that
kind
of
the
direction
we're
going
in
right
now.
H
Yeah
man,
I'm
sure
members
of
the
community
council,
member,
very
good
question.
So
obviously
it's
been
a
difficult
time.
The
past
two,
two
plus
years
now
to
get
a
good
read
and
what
what
the
platforms
are.
But
let
me
just
give
you
a
quick
recap
of
what
we've
done.
The
initial
planning
for
this
project
started
in
2018.
Our
base
set
of
data
was
2018.
I'll
start
by
saying
that
we've
continued
to
get
metro,
transit
bus
travel
time
throughout
1819
pandemic
up
to
today.
So
we
have
very
good
bus
data
in
terms
of
traffic
counts.
H
We
last
recounted
the
quarter
in
fall
of
2021,
so
not
really
post
pandemic,
but
kind
of
starting
to
return
to
normal.
We'll
have
another
couple
years.
I
think
question
was
projections
I'll
get
there.
We
have
another
couple
years
to
kind
of
see.
What's
the
trend
lines
what's
traffic,
you
know
what
are
the
counts
like
and
then
we'll
go
under
construction,
so
we
are
basing
it.
H
We
are
basing
it
on
a
composite
of
what
we
see
in
the
past,
understanding
there's
a
new
normal
that
has
some
light,
lower
volumes,
but
some
sense
that
those
are
continuing
to
pick
up.
So
when
we
forecast
into
the
future,
we
don't
really
forecast
growth
in
vehicles.
Automobile
trips,
we
forecast
a
growth
in
people
as
the
corridor
gets
more
dense.
For
example,
if
you
look
at
the
old
chicago
site,
we
now
have
150
plus
apartment
units
coming
there
right
right
by
the
transit
station,
so
the
corridor
is
getting
more
dense.
H
There's
more
people,
there's
more
personal
trips.
You
want
to
provide
the
facilities
that
move
them
on
to
other
modes,
so
we're
kind
of
blending
all
that
to
get
account,
and
that's
one
of
the
reasons
why
we
kind
of
have
a
little
bit
of
a
wait-and-see
attitude
on
these
hours.
That's
why
my
graphic
didn't
show
proposed
hours.
Is
we
really
need
to
see
in
the
future
after
2025
26?
What
are
traffic
patterns
looking
like
in
the
city?
A
Thank
you
appreciate
that
council,
member
onesie
whereabouts-
oh,
was
I
first,
I
didn't
know
who
was
all
right.
I
put
myself
in
queue
as
well,
so
I
just
had
a
couple
questions.
I
don't
know
if
this
would
be
for
director
or
for
either
of
you,
but
I
just
want
to
confirm
today
I
think
it's
been
said
a
couple
times,
but
that
we
are
confirmed
that
the
layout
plan
before
us
is
the
same
layout
plan
that
was
presented
previously
and
that
that
layout
plan
itself
has
not
changed.
Yeah.
H
A
K
You
chairakovsky,
and
I
have
more
of
a
comment
that
kind
of
relates
to
councilmember
payne's
thoughts
about
how
we're
adjusting
our
layout
proposal
or
operational
proposals
to
parking.
So
I
just
wanted
to
note
that,
while
I
believe
we
should
have
24
7
bus
lanes
operating
from
day
one
during
the
reopening
of
hennepin
ave,
I
would
also
like
to
ask
our
staff
and
encourage
my
fellow
colleagues
to
also
think
about
the
practicality
of
what's
being
asked
here.
If
construction
takes
two
years,
there
is
a
very
good
chance.
K
It
seems
that
they're,
the
current
311
parking
spots,
that's
being
discussed
today,
will
also
no
longer
be
available
during
that
time.
So,
if
anything
for
continuity,
it
seems
like
it
would
be
nice
that
the
parking
spots
that
might
be
gone
for
those
two
years
regardless,
we
should
still
have
24
7
bus
lines,
be
rolled
out
immediately
and
any
questions
regarding
the
functionality
or
ridership
can
be
informed
based
off
of
that
data
from
the
proactive
jump.
K
So
I
think,
there's
also
a
concern
of
we
can
still
get
that
data
that
I
think
council
member
payne
was
referring
to
even
with
the
implementation
of
the
24
7
bus
lanes
and
and
not
having
these
flexible
hours
kind
of
in
in
flux
as
well.
So
that's
more
so
of
a
comment.
I
know
this.
As
you
can
see,
we
have
a
full
room.
This
this
issue
is
so
important.
K
K
I
think
the
only
ward
in
the
city
that
has
a
great
student
population
and
many
of
those
students
are
moving
away
from
campus
as
rents
increase,
and
they
often
are
reliant
upon
our
public
transportation
to
be
able
to
get
around
to
campus
so
having
24
7
access
to
a
bus
lane
for
working
class
people
as
well
as
our
students
is
so
important
to
them,
especially
when
we're
talking
about
safety.
I
think
public
safety
goes
beyond
just
policing,
of
course,
but
it
goes
to.
K
F
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
miss
hughes
and
alan.
I
don't
know
how
to
say
your
last
name.
It
stresses
me,
but
I
actually
want
to
start
by
thanking
you
for
your
years
of
work
in
bringing
this
plan
and
this
layout
to
us
for
approval.
F
I
have
watched
countless
of
those
community
engagement
sessions,
especially
when
they
first
became
virtual
and
then
all
the
way
through
as
you
as
you
navigated,
the
really
tough
questions
and
really
real
concerns
that
residents
and
business
owners
and
visitors
brought
and
and
asked,
and-
and
you
know,
I
think,
I
think
to
becca,
especially
I
I
have
a
a
deep
level
of
appreciation
for
the
kindness
and
the
grace
that
you
have
shown
our
residents
over
and
over
in
hearing
their
concerns
and
taking
them
seriously
and
doing
your
best
to
get
to
a
meaningful
answer
to
what
people
were
asking
and
to
address
the
core
of
the
concern
that
people
were
bringing
and
being
able
to
see
that
through
hurt
and
frustration.
F
That's
a
really
difficult
skill
to
have
and
and
both
of
you,
I've.
I've
watched
you
grow
in
that
skill
and
and
just
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
work.
Almost
all
of
us
on
this
can
no
all
of
us
today
on
this
committee
are
brand
new
council
members,
and
so
we
come
and
we
look
at
this
project
with
fresh
eyes
and-
and
you
know,
want
to
hold
that
with
with
honoring
your
years
of
expertise
on
this.
F
So
I'll
start
there,
and
then
you
know,
I
think,
just
hearing
some
of
my
colleagues
talk
about
this.
I
want
to
you
know
start
by
with
a
couple
of
comments.
F
Perhaps
questions
to
chair
koski's
question
around
what
we
are
approving
today
and
that
being
specifically,
the
layout,
actually
want
to
point
us
back
to
the
sub
items
within
our
agenda,
and
I
think
one
of
the
first
slides
that
that
becca
started
with
today,
which
talks
about
the
four
separate
things
that
we
are
going
to
be
approving
today
and
at
council
next
thursday,
and
that
includes
yes,
approving
the
layout
for
the
street
reconstruction.
F
It's
authorizing
negotiations
with
private
properties
for
easements
and
right-of-way.
So,
just
how
and
to
my
understanding,
that's
just
how
we
move
sidewalks
and
and
like
making
sure
that
we're
working
with
with
our
private
property
owners
to
to
make
that
work.
F
It's
repealing
that
one
way
on
on
fremont,
so
it's
that
was
the
taking
that
one
way
turning
it
into
a
two-way
street,
so
that
we
can
better
allow
for
traffic
circulation
in
that
area,
and
then
the
fourth
and
I
actually
think
this
one's
really
really
important
for
us
to
get
extremely
clear
on
is
the
passage
of
the
resolution
directing
the
city
engineer
to
establish
parking
restrictions
on
hennepin
avenue
between
douglas
avenue
and
west
lake
street
per
the
council,
approved
layout
to
meet
state
aid.
F
Rule
8820,
so
parking
restrictions
are
inherent
to
this
layout
approval
because
that's
literally
one
of
the
things
that's
in
front
of
us
that
we
are
going
to
vote
on
today
and
then
again
next
thursday.
So
I
think
you
know
yes
we're
here
to
approve
layout
and
it's
a
little
bit
more
complicated
than
that.
F
With
that
being
said,
I
I
want
to
go
back
to
something
you
said
earlier
during
your
presentation
on
the
the
block
around
franklin
avenue
and
then
lagoon.
Was
it
where
the
streets
a
little
narrower
or
or
perhaps
has
a
little
bit
more
space
on
franklin
and
narrower
on
the
lagoon
side
and
like
something
around
parking
restrictions
in
that
area?
Can
you
please
clarify
that
point?
Please.
H
I'm
sure
members
of
committee
council,
member,
maybe
I'll,
start,
I
think,
becca's
going
to
pull
up
the
layout
we
didn't
show
up.
We
had
the
full
quarter
layout.
I
think
what
I'll
start
I'll
start
generally
and
get
more
specific.
If
that's
helpful.
Generally
speaking,
we
call
this
a
two-lane
roadway
with
left
turns
at
about
every
other
intersection
up
at
franklin
where
there's
just
frankly
much
higher
traffic
counts.
We
need
a
little
bit
more
lane
capacity,
and
so,
rather
than
kind
of
that
two-lane
section,
it's
more
of
a
four-lane
section.
H
I
don't
get
too
lost
in
the
details,
but
one
of
the
reasons
for
that
too
is
southbound.
We
need
to
have
two
lanes
coming
through
through
franklin.
Otherwise
we
would
see
very
long.
Backups
there'd
be
a
safety
issue.
We
would
see
backups
to
the
freeway
off-ramp
to
hennepin
and
then
once
I
have
two
lanes
coming
through
southbound
or
franklin,
I
need
to
have
two
receiving
lanes
to
pick
them
up
so
and
then
northbound
two
volumes,
that's
my
highest
point
of
volume
in
the
corridor
need
a
little
bit
more
capacity
now.
H
Switching
gears
at
the
south
end
of
the
corridor
between
lake
and
lagoon
vines
are
not
as
high
there,
but
we
have
two
things
going
on.
We
have
lake
street
and
lagoon
which
have
very
high
volumes
kind
of
in
a
signal
operation.
So
I'm
getting
way
into
the
wheats
here
from
a
signal
operations.
Point
of
view.
I
need
to
provide
a
fair
amount
of
green
time
for
east
west
lake
and
lagoon,
for
example,
to
progress.
H
The
new
beeline
brt
through
those
intersections
that
doesn't
leave
me
as
much
green
time
for
hennepin
and
with
a
large
number
of
turns,
even
though
the
over
volume
is
a
bit
high
with
the
large
amount
of
turns
and
the
need
to
give
some
time
to
lake
and
lagoon.
I
just
need
that
lane
capacity
in
enhance
to
get
the
vehicles
through.
So
that's
kind
of
a
hopefully
a
sufficient
answer.
We
could
go
more
into
the
details
or
look
at
the
layout,
but
that's
the
rationale
for
sort
of
changing
the
endpoints
a
bit.
F
Got
it
so
it's
almost
like
a
an
on-ramp
to
the
traffic
going
down
to
one
lane
from
from
the
two
and
also
serves
the
purpose
of
accounting.
For
that's
where
we
have
higher
rates
of
traffic
yeah.
H
That's
those
are
our
big
kind
of
call
mobility
challenge
points
in
the
corridor
to
keep
the
quarter
moving
smoothly.
It's
the
two
end
points.
F
That's
really
helpful.
Thank
you
that
clarifies
my
question.
F
You
know
speaking
to
I
I
think,
maybe
we're
answering
a
question
from
council
member
payne
around
you
know
not
each
not
every
parking
spot
is
is
made
equal
right
and
I
appreciated
the
the
point
on
the
barber
shop
on
23rd,
and
you
know
it
like
reminded
me
to
to
bring
up
again
right,
we're
here
on
the
public
record,
we're
talking
about
real
concerns
that
real
people
have
about
the
impact
on
their
lives
and
and
becca.
F
F
We
didn't
even
know
about
because
this
person
has
a
has
like
sub
basement
parking,
that
they
want
to
work
with
the
city
on
for
us
to
be
able
to
contract
for
the
public
to
be
able
to
use
right
so
that
23rd
through
25th-
and
I
see
mumtaz-
is
here
from
osman
cleaners
on
on
25th
and
hennepin
right,
so
that
that
area
we're
we're
already
thinking
of
some
of
these
creative
parking
solutions
and
people
in
our
community
are
reaching
out
to
us
and
helping
us
get
to
those
creative
solutions
in
the
here
and
now,
two
years
out
from
construction,
even
starting,
and
so
you
know
like
you,
just
brought
the
it
was
just
a
barber
shop
on
23rd.
F
That
reminded
me
of
this
very
important
point
to
make.
So
that
being
said,
I
actually
I
wonder
if
we
can
and
I'm
you
know,
I'm
not
sure
if
this
is
a
good
question
to
direct
at
the
two
of
you
or
to
the
director.
F
H
Ma'am
here,
members
of
the
community
customer-
maybe
I'll
start
now.
This
can
join
in
in
terms
of
a
road
project.
If
I
can
use
the
word,
that's
more
of
a
housekeeping
detail-
and
I
know
the
word
parking's-
maybe
kind
of
you
know
an
emotional
word
today,
but
because
we
have
federal
and
state
aid
funds
on
this
project,
we
don't
control
everything.
We
have
to
abide
by
the
rules
and
for
any
roadway
layout
that
comes
through.
H
We
basically
need
to
designate
how's
that
pavement
being
used
and
if
it's
being
used
as
parking
or
not
parking
or
lane,
or
what
have
you
and
so
the
no
parking
resolution
is
the
city
council
mechanism
for
sort
of
certifying
how
the
roadways
being
used,
and
we
give
that
back
to
the
state
and
the
federal
p
authorities
for
proof
of
the
use
of
the
fund.
So
it
happens
on
virtually
every
road
project,
it's
kind
of
like
I
say
it's
typically
a
housekeeping
detail,
but
we
need
a
council
resolution.
H
Much
like
we
need
layout
approval
to
give
back
to
the
state
to
say
this
is
the
road
we
propose
to
build.
So
it's
kind
of
I
know
we're
talking
about
dynamic
lanes
and
operations
and
when
that
it's
somewhat
apart
from
that
that,
even
in
a
more,
if
I
can
say
straightforward
plane,
project
without
dynamic
operations,
we'd
have
a
similar
activity
going
on
based
on
how
it
is
we're
using
the
lanes.
So.
C
L
Thank
you,
director,
cherkovsky
and
council
member
chuck
tai.
I'd
want
to
point
out
that
the
subsections
three
and
four
are
part
of
the
layout,
but
they're
also
different
in
that
subsection.
Four
is
a
resolution
that
is
not
actually
required
by
city,
ordinance
or
resolution,
it's
required
by
our
state
and
federal
funders,
and
so
it's
not
something
that
the
city
itself
would
need
to
pass
in
order
to
do
its
work.
It
just
needs
to
do
it
to
receive
those
funds
on
this
project.
L
As
for
subsection,
three
of
the
repealing
the
one-way
street,
because
it's
of
a
repeal
and
not
an
establishment
of
a
one-way
street,
the
city
council
does
need
to
assist
or
direct
the
public
works
to
do
that,
but
the
establishment
of
one-way
streets
as
well
as
many
many
other
operational
procedures,
operational
decisions
are
delegated
to
the
city
engineer
and
to
the
director
of
public
works,
not
to
city,
council
and
so
city
council
doesn't
have
the
authority
to
direct
those
sort
of
operational
decisions,
except
in
these
rare
circumstances.
F
Thank
you.
No.
I
I
really
appreciate
that.
Thank
you,
director
and,
and
our
city
attorney's
office.
You
know,
I.
I
think
that
I
think
that
was
incredibly
clarifying.
What
I'm
hearing
from
this
is
that
it's
the
the
state
and
the
federal
government
that
have
whose,
whose
funds
we
actually
need
in
order
to
move
forward
with
this
project.
Otherwise
it's
just
a
cute
idea
require
this
council,
this
body
to
give
you
the
authority
so
that
you
can
go
and
tell
the
state
and
the
federal
government
that
we
have.
F
You
know
we
have
the
authority,
give
us
our
money
right
in
order
to
be
able
to
do
all
of
that.
It's
the
state
and
the
federal
government
that
require
this
body
to
give
consent
on
parking
restrictions,
and
so
it's
you
know
sure
it's
a
it's
a
technicality
that
we're
there
we're
voting
on.
I
don't
disagree
with
that,
but
what
I'm
saying
is
it's.
F
It
is
a
formal
thing,
that's
in
front
of
us
it's
in
front
of
this
body
that
we
have
to
take
a
vote
on
and
those
parking
restrictions
have
to
be
have
to
have
to
be
based
on
the
layout,
which
means
I
I
I
guess
I
would
want
to
just
know
like
is
there
city
engine?
You
know
what
I
mean
like.
F
This
is
a
requirement
that
we
need
to
fulfill
for
the
state
and
federal
government
and
for
the
the
funding
that
we're
receiving
from
them
to
do
this
road,
and
so
those
parking
restrictions
can't
just
be
made
up
out
of
thin
air
right
like
they
have
to
be
based
on
the
layout
and
so
whether
or
not
there
there
are
certain
hours
of
the
day
when
there's
parking
required
when
parking
is
allowed
on
on
the
bus
lane
is
inherent
to
us
being
able
to
know
exactly
what
we're
voting
on
here
in
item
number.
C
M
L
Yes,
chair
koski
council
member
chuck
thai.
There
is
a
1995
city
resolution
that
design
delegates
the
authority
to
manage
and
operate
city
streets
to
laning
restrictions,
stop
signs,
bus
stops
parking
zones,
but
to
the
city
engineer
there
are
also
city
ordinances
as
well.
F
N
Madam
chair,
the
the
resolution
is
linked
in
the
limbs
file.
We
just
confirmed.
F
A
We're
going
to
move
on
to
council
member
payne
questions
in
queue.
J
Thank
you
charkoski.
This
might
be
down
the
road
of
getting
into
too
many
technical
details
and
I'm
assuming
some
of
these
details
aren't
defined
yet
and
you're,
defining
them
as
you're
working
with
the
data
scientists
at
metro
transit.
But
I'm
curious
about
when
I
hear
a
data-driven
approach.
My
brain
goes
to
experiment
design
and
when
I
think
of
experiment
design,
I
think
of
baseline
data
and
I
think
of
control
data,
and
then
I'm
assuming
this
is
going
to
be
quite
a
longitudinal
study.
H
Man,
I'm
sure
members
of
the
community
council
member-
yes
in
general,
you're
absolutely
on
the
right
track
and
maybe
two
comments
I
want
to
make
one
is
that
we
want
to
discuss
the
concept
that
it
will
be.
A
data.
Different
approach
will
be
collaborative
method
transit
and
we
clearly
will
report
back
to
the
council
with
what
we're
seeing
how
we
plan
on
doing
it
the
framework
and
structure
of
what
we
want
to
do,
and
some
of
the
statistical
things
that
you
spoke
to.
H
So
I
you
know,
I'm
not
ready
to
tell
you
today
exactly
what
those
measurements
will
be,
but
I
am
very
confident
saying
we
have
the
framework
for
coming
up
with
a
plan
that
says:
how
will
we
evaluate
this
corridor?
How
will
we
give
it
a
grade?
You
know,
is
it
doing
well,
is
it
doing
poorly?
Is
it
meeting
our
target
goals
and
the
data
will
be
there?
So
you
know
short
answer
is
there's
more
data
than
you
can
imagine
and
we'll
have
opportunity
work
with
that.
I
H
Like
I
say,
we've
done
that
on
several
projects
with
metro,
transit,
becca
tells
a
great
story.
We
once
asked
for
some
planning
data
planning,
mobile
data.
Metro
transit's
returned
us
a
spreadsheet
with
38
000
lines
on
it,
so
they
have
the
data.
You
know
we'll
work
with
them
to
come
up
with
those
measurements.
J
L
Thank
you,
madam
share
council
member
opinion.
The
as
I
discussed,
the
operational
decisions
are
delegated
to
the
public
works
director
and
to
the
engineer
city
engineer
whether
they're
the
same
one
in
the
same
or
not
by
city,
ordinance
and
city
past
resolution.
So,
while
the
council
may
be
apprised
of
those
actions,
the
council
does
not
have
the
authority
to
delegate
operational.
L
Court
councilmember,
the
the
the
authority
has
been
delegated
by
city
council
resolution
and
by
various
city
ordinances.
There
are
no
court
decisions
that
I
am
aware
of
that
have
tested
this
decision
so.
L
As
far
as
I
am
aware
at
this
moment,
yes,
but
it
has
been
a
historic
delegation
of
authority-
the
council,
the
city
council,
has
granted.
It
should
be
noted
that
if
the
city
council
did
not
approve
of
that
delegation,
the
city
council
would
be
responsible
for
every
single
stop
sign.
Every
single
lane
turn
every
single
decision
that
public
works
staff
makes
regarding
traffic
operations
on
a
daily
basis,
and
so
that
delegation
was
made
years
ago
in
an
acknowledgement
of
how
difficult
it
would
be
for
city
council
to
do
make
those
decisions.
J
So,
with
that
kind
of
authority,
boundary
driven
established
by
the
attorney's
office,
I'd
be
very
much
interested
in
learning
more
about
that
operational
design
and
how
we're
thinking
about
that
data-driven
approach,
and
I
would
strongly
urge
establishing
our
baseline
when
we're
having
that
data-driven
approach
to
have
a
24-hour
dedicated
lane
and
then
baseline
from
there
do
our
experimental
studies
to
see
what
would
the
impact
be
of
opening
up
the
lane,
rather
than
an
inverse
approach
of
starting
with
a
non-24-hour
bus
lane
and
then
doing
our
experimental
design
working
towards
24
hours.
O
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
Thanks
for
this
presentation,
I
appreciate
it
just
a
couple:
quick
questions:
councilmember
payne
kind
of
talked
about
it
a
little
bit,
but
I'm
wondering
more
about
the
collection
of
data
for
these
routes,
because
we
know
that
the
workplace
has
changed.
People
are
staying
home.
You
know
working
from
home
more
and
getting
delivery
services
from
restaurants
instead
of
driving
out
to
get
them
or
taking
the
bus
to
get
them
to
get.
O
You
know
just
certain
things
like
I
get
my
groceries
delivered,
but
it's
because
I
don't
like
the
grocery
store.
So,
like
you
know,
I'm
just
wondering
if
those
things
are
taken
into
account
with
these
metro
transit
studies.
I
know
you're
gonna
check
on
ridership
and
see
what
times
these
trips
are
made,
and
so
that's
one
part
of
the
question.
The
other
part
is.
I
have
a
concern
environmental
concern.
O
If
we
start
at
24
hours
and
we
have
a
bus
run
and
just
say
like
from
midnight
to
6
a.m,
with
no
one
on
it
right
like
how.
How
do
they
check?
Do
they
like
just
immediately
stop
running
the
bus
route
if
they
know
that
there's
been
three
months
with
no
one
being
on
the
bus
overnight,
because
the
buses
don't
like
not
run
if
they're
scheduled
to
run
they're
gonna,
go
the
whole
route
right
like
every
day,
the
time
they're
supposed
to
be
there,
no
matter
how
many
buses
it's
supposed
to
be.
G
Maybe
I'll
start
just
because
I
feel
like
you've
taken
all
the
questions.
Thank
you
for
the
question.
Tarakowski
and
councilmember
vita,
first
kind
of
thinking
about
the
head
of
an
avenue
corridor
and
deliveries
and
other
things
and
changing
traffic
patterns.
I
mean
that
is
part
of
the
reason
why
we're
asking
for
flexibility
today
because
of
like
the
transitions
that
are
happening
with
those
very
same
items
that
you
mentioned,
and
you
know
really
it's
an
attempt
for
us
to
be
nimble.
G
G
The
curbside
management
policy
is
something
that
staff
will
be
undertaking
this
year
and
that
will
be
really
critical
as
we
look
at
corridors
that
have
similar
characteristics
to
hennepin
in
terms
of
just
all
of
these
different
competing
needs
that
happen
at
that
curb
in
terms
of
metro
transit,
metro
transit
does,
as
alan
was
mentioning
there's
so
much
information,
and
I
know
metro
transit
staff
is
here
but
I'll,
just
kind
of
jump
in
and
swing
here,
and
then,
if
there's
a
question
or
if
you
want
to
add
any
more
content,
but
they
do
constantly
monitor
their
ridership.
G
You
know
they
do
quarterly
reviews.
They
cut
service
in
some
locations.
If
there
is
there
aren't
passengers
and
riders
they
expand.
You
know
their
service
in
other
areas,
and
it's
just
such
a
robust
reporting
mechanism
that
they
have,
and
so
metro
transit
does
make
adjustments
as
needed.
You
know
currently,
obviously,
the
the
routes
along
the
corridor
and
throughout
the
city
have
been
adjusted
as
a
result
of
the
pandemic
and
just
travel
patterns
overall.
G
But
the
idea
really
is
is
that,
with
this
brt
line
right
that
we'll
be
running
on
hennepin,
that's
the
strongest
ridership
that
they've
had
on
other
brt
lines,
comparatively
to
lrt
lines
even
comparatively
to
the
local
routes
that
are
serving
the
area.
So
we
do
expect
strong
ridership.
That
will
certainly
be
a
factor
to
your
question
too,
about
metrics
analytics,
there's
so
many
things,
but
we're
obviously
not
going
to
evaluate
everything
we'll
be
really
strategic
about
the
different
elements
that
we
include
in
that
monitoring
plan.
O
G
That's
that's
a
hard
question
in
terms
of
24
7
operations
right
in
this
moment
the
bus
isn't
running
for
the
full
24
hours.
It
does
have
some
hours
off
similar
to
how
the
light
rail
operations
have
been
scaled
back.
I
don't
want
to
speak
exactly
to
the
timing
and
where
that
is,
I'm
not
exactly
sure
where
metro
transit
is
on
and
where
they
stopped
and
where
they
pick
out
and-
and
you
know
what
their
the
the
you
know,
what
the
separation
is
between
the
the
buses
coming.
Is
it
10
minutes?
G
Is
it
15
minutes,
I'm
not
sure
exactly
how
that
changes,
but
obviously
you
know
in
the
key
and
the
core
hours
the
the
buses
are
coming
more
frequently
along
the
corridor
right
and
they
will
continue
to
do
that
with
the
integration
of
the
e-line
as
ridership
drops
throughout
the
day
and
later
into
the
evening,
the
service
hours
obviously
expand
a
bit
so
I'd,
maybe
just
close
there.
K
Thank
you
chairakovsky
and
would
love
to
get
a
moment
to
connect
with
councilmember
vital
off
hours.
K
My
office
is
a
huge
proponent
of
the
green
new
deal
and
there's
been
ample
amount
of
evidence
that
shows
that
as
our
society,
as
our
cities
move
forward
to
a
green
and
renewable
future,
public
transportation
and
investment
in
public
transportation
is
one
of
the
key
aspects
to
reaching
those
goals
and
we're
seeing
that,
as
represented
in
front
of
us,
so
love
to
chop
it
up
about
the
grand
new
deal
and
how
this
fits
into
that.
So
second
question:
I'm
interested
in
the
action
that
we
can
actually
take.
Today.
K
K
Is
there
a
way
either
we
can
move
forward
with
the
staff
directive
or
make
a
proposal
to
amend
the
resolution
to
be
reflective
of
either
eliminating
this
dynamic
proposal,
the
dynamic
hours
that
replaces
the
full-time
hours,
because
I
think
all
of
us
are
here
with
the
same
goal
of
saying
we
want
24
7
bus
lanes.
I
think
that's
been
clear.
Metro
transit
is
on
board.
The
state
is
on
board
with
local
government
is
very
hard,
often
as
you
noted,
to
get
so
many
agencies
on
board
and
we're.
K
Finally,
there
we
are
here,
so
I
think
for
us.
We
just
want
to
assure
the
public.
We
want
to
assure
our
constituents,
many
of
those
who
are
here
today
that
that
is
going
to
be
prioritized
in
this
project
from
day
one.
So,
if
there's
any
way
in
which
we
can
get
concrete
feedback
on
on
the
actions,
we
can
take
to
affirm
that
in
this
moment
in
this
committee,
that
would
be
great.
So.
A
Real
quick,
I
just
want
to
clarify
that
councilmember
onesie,
while
about
we
will
be
taking
up
the
staff
direction
next.
A
C
So,
madam
chair,
I
think
that
to
clarify
that
public
works
is
100
percent
supportive
of
success
of
the
e-line
and
getting
to
all-day
bus
service
as
quickly
as
possible,
all-day
dedicated
bus
service
as
quickly
as
possible.
I
want
to
be
clear:
the
bus
runs
when
metro
transit
programs,
the
bus,
which
is
basically
about
to
1
a.m
and
then
there's
a
gap
till
about
6
a.m.
In
the
morning
on
the
e-line
right
now
planned,
I
read
the
e-line
study
last
week
again,
and
so
that
said,
I
think
it
would
be
best.
C
Your
question
is
not
really
directed
to
ms
hughes
or
mr
klugman
about
how
best
to
give
advice
to
public
works.
I
think
it's
best
to
maybe
mr
wilcox
or
ms
bremer
about
what
could
be
done,
but
we
are,
I
think,
to
chair
koski's
point
really
we're
on
the
item
of
layout
right
now,
and
I
understand
how
they're
integral
to
the
discussion
that
you're
having
but
the
item
of
layout
is
a
hundred
percent
receptive
and
able
to
take
the
all-day,
dedicated
bus
lane.
C
It
has
a
pedestrian
facility
that
is
going
to
be
better
and
much
safer
than
what
it
was,
and
the
vehicle
traffic
is
also
to
our
vision,
zero
plan
going
to
be
in
terms
of
reducing
both
vehicle
crashes
and
crashes
with
human
beings,
and
so
that's
the
layout
piece
first
and
I
think
if
you,
the
advice,
would
be
best
directed.
The
question
about
advice
is
best
directed
to
the
city,
attorney's
staff.
A
M
M
A
C
Madam
chair,
I
appreciate
this
is
not
a
public
hearing
and
I
I
I
hear
these
comments
that
are
being
made.
I
think
that's
one
of
the
reasons
that
staff
had
suggested
and
will
be
implementing
a
parking
task
force
as
part
of
the
implementation
process,
both
in
terms
of
the
construction
period
as
well
as
after,
to
hear
more
finally,
and
to
work
with
businesses,
because
that
is
a
piece
of
the
feedback
that
we
have
had
in
that
period
that
ms
hughes
had
up
on
the
screen.
A
Thank
you
director,
and
I
just
want
to
make
a
reminder
that
this
public
works
committee
is
not
open
for
public
comment
at
this
time,
so
this
will
serve
as
a
general
warning
to
individuals
that
interfere
with
this
committee,
and
so,
if
you
would
like
to
remain
here
in
council
chambers,
please
do
not
interfere.
We
have
consumer
chuck,
tay.
F
Thank
you,
tchaikovsky,
I'll,
just
I'll
just
remind
our
colleagues
and
and
for
folks
who
are
watching
along
both
here
in
person
and
virtually
that
our
public
works
department
conducted,
I
think
nearly
60
different
community
engagement
and
feedback
events
over
the
last
four
years
and
we've
received
something
like
10
000
comments
that
have
been
that
staff
have
gone
through.
F
Each
of
our
offices
has
received
what
hundreds
nearing
over
thousands
at
this
point:
emails
phone
calls,
letters,
postcards
and
and
those
those
have
been
accounted
for,
but
with
that
I
actually
want
to
direct
this
question
to
ms
brummer
and
mr
wilcox.
So
looking
at
the
the
resolution
specifically.
So
six
item
item
number
six
item
number
four
within
that.
F
I
am
wondering
so
you
know
it's
this
one.
This
resolution
specifically
addresses
the
state
aid
rule
and
establishes
these
very
convoluted
no-parking
times,
and
I
understand
that
the
engineer
who
drafted
this
up
is
is
not
here
today
and
so
perhaps
can't
speak
to
to
this.
But
I
guess
I'm
wondering
if
you
can
help
me
understand
over
here.
F
We
have
these
very
complicated
and
odd,
no
parking
anytime
rules
and
then
just
a
few
weeks
ago,
I
see
that
at
our
our
at
our
april
21st
meeting
of
the
public
works
committee,
which
was
then
approved
by
the
council
on
april
28th,
an
item
regarding
the
upper
harbor
terminal,
public
infrastructure,
parking
restrictions
again,
a
very
similar
type
of
resolution.
F
You
know
very
technical
in
its
in
its
nature,
which
directs
the
city
engineer
to
establish
those
same
type
of
parking
restrictions
that
we're
talking
about
here
on
on
dowling
avenue,
north
between
the
limits
of
lindale
avenue
and
washington
avenue
to
provide
access
in
circulation,
and
so
this
one,
on
the
other
hand,
is
very
simple
right.
F
It
talks
about
the
municipal
state
aid
funds,
talks
about
the
upper
harbor
terminal
sites
and
then
in
in
the
it
just
very
plainly
tells
us
that
the
city
of
minneapolis
shall
ban
parking
of
motor
vehicles
on
dowling
avenue
from
lindale
avenue
to
washington
avenue.
I
wonder
if
you
can
just
help
us
understand
why
we
couldn't
under,
because
it's
again
the
state
aid
requirement
why
we
are
not
having.
L
I
cannot
speak
to
why
the
city
engineer
wrote
the
resolution
in
this
case
as
he
or
she
did
to
restrict
only
in
certain
areas
parking
zones.
L
However,
I
want
to
note
that
the
the
issue
of
parking
restrictions
is
very
different
than
bus
lanes
and
that
sort
of
issue
the
the
city
council
has
technically
reserved
the
right
to
establish
no
parking
zones,
although
it
has
delegated
that
authority
to
the
city
engineer
in
the
past,
including
city
engineer
authority,
to
designate
disabled
parking,
for
example,
but
there
is
nothing
preventing
a
council,
nothing
prevented
the
council
member,
in
that
case,
to
direct
the
city
engineer
in
his
or
her
own
authority
to
establish
the
parking
restrictions
in
an
area.
F
Understood
so,
if,
if
I'm,
if
I'm
just
because
this
is
an
item,
that's
in
front
of
us
today
and
will
be
again
in
front
of
us
like
this,
specific
resolution
will
be
in
front
of
us
again
in
in
a
week
for
the
full
body
to
look
at.
F
Can
we
amend
the
the
resolution
to
go
from
this
very
complicated,
I'm
like
I'm,
so
it's
like
westerly
side
of
hennepin
avenue
south
beginning
at
the
southerly
curb
of
25
and
a
half
street
west
and
extending
northerly,
just
as
you
and
I
can't
make
sense
of
it
right
like
none
of
us
can
we're
not
that
we
have
no
idea
what
this
actually
means,
and
so
is
there
something
that
would
stop
this
body
from
amending
this
resolution
and
clarifying
it
so
that
we
and
members
of
the
public
could
clearly
understand
it
where
we
are
restricting
parking
in
a
more
clarified
manner
and.
F
C
Yep,
I
think
that
one
of
the
options
is
to
pull
this
resolution
so
that,
when
the
city
engineer
is
back
from
his
vacation,
he
may
talk
us
through
why
it's
written
in
this
manner
and
we
can
also
pull
in
people
from
the
department
of
transportation,
the
state
aid
office,
to
help
understand
why,
under
the
state
aid
rule,
there
needs
to
be
this
re.
This
particular
restriction.
F
M
A
M
F
So
to
to
be
clear,
then
in
this
case
I
want
to
move
to
pull
sub
item
4,
which
is
the
passage
of
resolution
directing
city
engineer
to
establish
parking
restrictions
on
hennepin
avenue
south
out
of
item
number
six,
because
I
do
still
want
to
move
forward
with
layout
approval
and
the
two
other
technical
pieces
that
are
included
here.
We're
gonna,
pull
sub-item
number
four
and
bring
it
back.
Presumably,
two
weeks
from
now
when
the
the
the
person
with
the
technical
expertise
on
this
has
has
returned.
C
C
Madam
chair,
I
just
want
to
mat
and
councilman.
I
want
to
be
clear
that
it
may
not
return
in
just
two
weeks.
It
may
take
some
period
of
time
for
our
clarification,
especially
if
we
include
attorneys
from
mndot
or
anywhere
else
to
understand
the
state
aid
portion
of
why
this
is
needed.
F
I
want
to
just
go
back
to
my
earlier
comments
and
on.
I
don't
know
that
I
am
seeking
any
type
of
clarification
on
why
this
is
a
requirement
from
from
the
state.
What
I'm
seeking
clarification
on
is
why
we
can
I'm
I'm
trying
to
clarify
this
resolution
to
be
more
universally
understood
in
the
same
way
that
the
arbor
harbor
terminal
resolution
from
a
couple
of
weeks
ago,
clearly
restricted
parking
in
a
manner
that
made
sense.
L
Chair
gossip
councilmember,
chuck
died.
I
think
that
the
difference
in
that
situation
was
that
the
city
engineer
recommended
the
layout
in
the
upper
harbor
terminal
parking
restrictions,
so
it
came
from
pw
staff
recommendations,
study
of
that
area
and
in
a
thorough
analysis
of
the
traffic
here.
L
Based
on
staff
recommendations,
it
would
be
coming
from
city
council
to
direct
staff
on
what
to
do
and
that
that's
a
very
different
situation.
F
No,
I
think
we're
just
wait.
That's
that's!
Not
what
I'm
not
saying
that
we're
going
to
hold
this
resolution
back
and
then
council,
a
council
member,
is
going
to
author
it.
I
think
we're
seeking
clarification
on
exactly
what
the
implications
of
this
current
resolution.
That's
in
front
of
us
six.
I
item
number
six
sub
item,
number
four
actually
means
and
that
none
of
us
in
this
room
actually
know
that,
and
so
we're
going
to
wait
for
that
specific
individual.
F
A
Okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
on
the
floor.
We
have
a
second.
Is
there
any
discussion
on
this
council
member
once
in
a
while.
K
Thank
you,
chair
koski,
just
another
clarifying
question
to
our
city
attorney,
so
the
city
council,
that
approved
nicollet
mall
in
three
different
decades
were
also
under
the
oppression
that
they
approved
a
no
idols.
You
know
street
so
based
off
of
what
your
the
advice
that
you're
giving
in
this
moment
are
you
suggesting
that
that
was
simply
an
issue
of
operations,
and
in
that
case,
can
the
mayor
or
the
public
works
leadership
director
reverse
unilaterally
and
allow
auto
traffic
on
nicolette
mall
right
now,
based
off
of
the
advice
that
you're
giving.
I
Okay,
madam
chair
council,
members,
nicolette
mall's
unique
case
in
which
there's
actually
a
state
statute
that
sets
the
procedures
by
what
you
have
to
establish
pedestrian
walking
malls
and
that
state
statute
provides
very
specific
guidance
to
cities
if
they
want
to
establish
a
a
walking
mall
and,
of
course,
that's
what
the
ordinances
did
with
respect
to
nikola
mall
as
we're
talking
about
this
design
and
operation
plan,
specifically,
the
the
aspect
of
restricting
parking
that
is
necessary
for
the
state
and
federal
funding
is
much
different
than
going
beyond
what
is
required.
I
K
I
Council
member,
madam
chair
council
members.
Yes,
I
can
absolutely
share
the
state
statute
with
respect
to
the
pedestrian
walking
malls
marquette
in
second,
I
don't
have
that
information
right
off
the
top
of
my
head,
but
after
the
meeting
I'll
definitely
share
the
state
statute
with
respect
to
walking.
A
F
N
Madam
chair,
can
I
just
make
one
clarification
we
do
from
the
clerk's
perspective.
We
do
need
a
date
certain
that
it
will
come
back.
The
committee
can
always
continue
to
postpone
the
item
just
because
it's
on
that
agenda
doesn't
mean
you
have
to
deal
with
it
at
that
time,
but
the
committee
could
continue
to
postpone
it,
and
then
I
will
also
note
because
of
the
memorial
day
holiday.
The
next
regular
meeting
of
this
body
is
three
weeks
from
today,
which
is
june
9th.
C
I
just
want
to
be
very
clear
with
everyone
that
this
you
know
was
in
a
packet,
and
there
are
now
questions
about
it
and
so
we're
pulling
the
motion
by
the
council
is
to
pull
it
and
that's
fine,
but
we
also
may
need
some
time
to
gather
further
information,
since
the
level
of
questions
has
to
do
with
the
legal
authority
with
the
mndot
state
aid
rule.
I
know
that
you
feel
that
you
know
that
state
aid
rule
I,
even
though
I
was
the
mndot
commissioner,
do
not
feel
that.
I
fully
understand
that
particular
statement.
F
A
Will
move
for
approval
of
polling
sub
item
number
four
and
to
bring
back
for
discussion
at
our
june
9th
2022
meeting
I
will
ask
for,
for
all
those
in
favor,
say:
aye
aye
for
those
opposed,
say,
nay,
the
eyes
have
it
and
this
will
be
moved.
Thank
you.
So
much
all
right
back
to
the
original
discussion
item
number
six.
A
J
A
This
item
carries
and
will
be
forwarded
on
to
our
next
council
meeting
for
final
action.
I
know
director
anderson
keller
wanted
a
moment
here
to
just
to
briefly
just
say
a
few
words.
We
know
that
this
is
becca
hughes
last
meeting
with
us,
so
just
wanted
to
say
thank
you
and
our
deepest
gratitude
for
the
work
that
you
have
have
done
here.
So.
C
Thank
you
so,
madam
chair,
I
want
to
do
two
things
today.
First
remind
people
that
this
is
public
works
week
and
that
one
of
the
things
that
I
think
is
important
for
the
public
to
know
about
public
works
week.
I
was
not
about
me,
but
about
what
our
crews
do
every
single
day.
So
I
was
out
with
director
kraft
who's
here
in
the
audience
today
angie
craft
and
we
were
visiting
with
folks
who
are
going
out
to
repair
your
sewers.
This
morning
they
were
going
out
to
pave
streets
this
morning.
C
They
were
also
going
out
to
do
street
repairs.
This
morning
we
went
up
to
northeast
minneapolis
and
visited
with
crews,
who
are
going
out
to
collect
your
garbage
this
morning,
and
so
the
public
works.
What
makes
the
city
work
is
critical
about
public
works,
it
is
so
important,
and
so
I
just
want
to
urge
everyone
here
and
members
of
the
public
to
thank
a
public
works
worker.
C
All
fingers
up
would
be
really
really
wonderful,
and
I
only
joke
about
that,
because
it
is
the
case
that
there
is
a
lot
of
hostility,
and
so
I
think,
realizing
that
people
come
to
work,
to
fix
your
sewer
every
day
that
come
to
work,
to
make
sure
you
have
clean
water
to
drink
and
to
make
sure
that
we
are
doing
the
very
best
we
can
on
repairing
our
streets
and
roads,
and
I
do
want
to
thank
miss
hughes
today.
Well,
not
today,
but
very
soon.
C
Miss
hughes
has
been
a
wonderful
public
service
to
the
city
of
minneapolis.
She
is
a
veteran
of
community
planning
and
economic
development
for
many
years
before
we
attracted
her
over
to
transportation
and
to
public
works
department
and
has
done
an
outstanding
job.
She
is
moving
on
to
a
new
chapter
of
her
life.
She
is
certainly
not
ready
to
retire
and
we
we
are
very
sad
to
see
her
go
at
public
works.
C
They
they
had
me
totally
hooked
from
there
on
out
both
in
how
they
worked
with
the
public
through
that
public
hearing,
but
also
through
their
thoughtfulness,
and
I
think
councilman
you
mentioned
caring,
and
so
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
again
becca.
I
know
we
don't
always
get
to
do
this,
but
I
I
think
this
is
a
moment
to
say
thank
you
very
much
for
all
of
your
work.
O
Thank
you,
chair
koski.
I
just
wanted
to
thank
director
anderson,
kelleher
and
her
team
for
the
wonderful
tour
that
they
put
together
this
week
for
myself
and
the
ward
14.
There
were
some
other
staff
there,
also
of
the
eureka
facility,
the
recycling
facility
and
also
our
facility
in
north
minneapolis.
O
We
got
to
witness
refrigerators
and
furniture
being
taken
apart
and
being
disposed
of.
We
had
a
nice
view
of
a
very
flooded
river.
The
river
was
extremely
high
in
that
area.
We
also
the
the
best
thing
was
we
got
to
see
how
much
pride
folks
taking
their
take
in
their
jobs
in
the
city
of
minneapolis,
we
watched
a
study
of
garbage.
O
It
was
so
cool
people
are
just
randomly
having
their
garbage
cans
taken
and
they're
people
who
work
for
the
city
that
are
going
through
the
garbage
and
sorting
it
out
and
figuring
out
what
we're
doing
with
our
trash.
If
we're
getting
it
right,
if
we
need
a
little
bit
of
help,
so
that
was
pretty
fun
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
happy
public
works
week
and
thank
you
all
so
much
for
that
wonderful,
educational
tour
earlier
this
week.
A
Thank
you
all
right
now
we
have
council,
member
chug
thai.
Has
a
staff
direction,
she'd
like
to
bring
forward
council
member,
would
you
please
present
that
staff
direction.
F
Happy
to,
I
believe
that
all
members
of
this
committee
and
our
attorneys,
our
public
works
director
and
leadership
team
and
our
clerks-
have
a
copy
of
this
resolution.
There's
a
publicly
available
version
of
the
resolution.
That's
sitting
right
over
there
next
to
our
clerks.
If,
if
you're
interested
in
grabbing
a
copy,
we
have
a
lot
more
people
in
the
room
than
than
copies
so
I'll
start
with
just
reading
the
resolution
and
then
telling
us
a
little
bit
about
the
how
and
the
why.
F
So.
This
is
on
pwi
item
number:
six,
the
hennepin
avenue
soft
reconstruction
project,
layout
approval
and
staff
direction.
So
chug
thai
moves
to
direct
public
works
staff
to
work
with
metro
transit
to
one
ensure
the
40
million
dollar
appropriation
for
this
from
the
state
of
minnesota.
For
the
metro,
e-line
arterial
bus,
rapid
transit
is
fully
utilized
in
line
with
the
request
of
the
minnesota
minneapolis
legislative
delegation
and
the
minnesota
house,
transportation,
finance
and
policy
committee
chair,
frank,
hornstein.
Public
works
shall
ensure
the
bus
lanes
in
the
hennepin
avenue.
F
South
reconstruction
project
layout
are
full-time,
dedicated,
24,
7
lanes
when
the
street
opens
following
construction
and
then
the
secondary
part
of
this.
You
know
to
allen's
point
earlier.
The
the
the
staff
at
public
works
wanting
to
take
that
community
engagement
work
incredibly
seriously
in
in
working
to
find
those
very
specific
parking
solutions,
because
in
the
years
of
community
engagement
that
we've
done
in
the
short
months
that
I've
been
here,
each
block
that
I
go
to
on
hennepin
avenue
of
these
10
blocks
and
each
business
owner
that
I
have
met.
F
That
has
just
a
very
specific
vantage
point
of
hennepin
avenue
has
a
different
perspective
to
share,
and
so
do
the
you
know
10
000
residents
that
live
along
this
corridor.
So
the
secondary
part
of
of
this
resolution
or
sorry.
This
staff
direction
addresses
forming
an
area
parking
management
task
force
that
includes
city
staff,
commercial,
which
include
business
and
landlord
and
residential
stakeholders.
F
The
department
should
have
a
goal
of
implementing
active
curbside
management
and
parking
strategies
prior
to
the
beginning
of
street
construction
in
2024.
The
second
part
of
this
staff
direction
is
language
that
came
directly
from
the
the
public
works
team.
I
think
there
was
maybe
like
one
minor
edit
made.
I
can't
even
remember
what
it
was,
but
the
first
part
of
the
staff
direction
was
was
altered
to
to
account,
for,
I
think,
a
couple
of
incredibly
important
things.
F
So
I
think
that
I
think
that
you
know
I
think
we're
going
to
go
back
and
forth
on
dynamic,
24
7,
what
that
means
and
the
impact
of
that
on
parking
on
on
businesses
on
you
know
whether
who
has
authority
to
decide
that,
but
at
the
center
of
all
of
this,
at
the
center
of
of
street
layout
and
of
how
we
build
and
when
we
build
and
who
we
build
it
for
are
the
the
very
real
lives
of
a
lot
of
people
who
we
have
the
opportunity
to
make
better
right.
F
F
The
importance
of
these
bus
lanes
again,
I've
heard
so
much
from
from
and
guilty
of
this
myself
from
all
of
my
colleagues
on
what
the
implication
of
this
is.
But
but
I
I
really
believe
that
buses
and
24
7
access
to
bus
lanes
in
this
reconstruction
plan
are
the
single
largest
tool
for
equity
that
we
have.
F
F
Of
that
nine
to
five
work
day
peak
hour
thing
that
we
talk
about
very
frequently,
which
frankly,
prioritizes
white-collar
workers
over
working
class
people
that
that
one
in
three
black
households
in
the
city
of
minneapolis
don't
own
a
car
that
one
in
ten
residents
who
have
a
disability
rely
on
metro
transit
services
as
their
primary
way
of
getting
from
place
to
place.
F
F
Our
bus
system
has
to
work
for
those
people
too,
that
it's
for
parents
who
are
riding
from
work
to
get
to
their
child's
daycare
facility,
so
they
can
pick
them
up
on
time.
It's
for
patients
who
are
going
to
hospitals.
Just
two
days
ago
we
ran
into
somebody
who
was
getting
on.
The
bus
was
clearly
in
the
middle
of
a
medical
emergency
and
said
to
the
bus
driver.
Hey,
I
don't
have
any
money,
but
I
need
to
go
to
the
hospital
right
now.
F
Can
you
help
me
and
our
bus
drivers
who
happen
to
be
union
union
members
atu,
always
step
up
for
our
communities
and
and
expanding
that
service?
Day-To-Day
is
critical
for
us
building
for
the
future
that
we
need
now,
right
and
again
when
we
are
we're
talking
about
a
straight,
that's
not
going
to
open
for
another
four
years
from
now
and
when
we
start
talking
about.
Oh,
maybe
it'll
be
another
two
years,
another
four
years
until
we
can
get
to
24
7.
O
Thank
you,
chair
koski.
I
just
had
a
quick
question
for
council
member
chuck
tai.
You
know.
I
know
that
this
that
hennepin
avenue
south
falls
in
between
ward
7
and
10,
and
I've
talked
to
you
about
this,
and
but
I
haven't
been
able
to
talk
to
the
councilmember
in
ward.
7.
just
wanted
to
know
if
you
had
consulted
with
her
and
where
is
she
at
on
this
and
was
she
a
part
of
the
creation
of
this
amendment
since
you
both
share?
You
know
this
space.
F
I
so,
as
you
know,
council
member
vita,
council
member
goodman
has
been
has
been
out
of
the
office
due
to
a
family
emergency
and
actually
just
returned
late
last
evening,
and
so
that's
the
the
first
point
and
our
public
works
staff
can
attest
to
this,
that
our
council
member
goodman
and
I
have
a
different
perspective
on
what
the
future
of
the
street
should
look
like.
F
That
perspective
has
been
made
very,
very
clear
by
her,
and
it's
been
very
clearly
understood
by
our
staff
too,
and
so
you
know
this
layout
comes
forward
without
her
support
in
the
first
place,
right
and
and
that's
just
the
reality
of
of
where
we
are
right
now
right.
It's
the
reality
that
that
we
have
disagreements
about
what
the
future
of
this
street
should
look
like
and
that
doesn't
that
actually
isn't
a
reflection
on
the
work.
F
Our
staff
have
done
that
isn't
a
reflection
on
the
city
policy
that
actually
isn't
a
reflection
of
the
incredible
leadership
we've
seen
from
our
director
as
she's,
come
into
a
brand
new
role
and
got
and
brought
this
forward
to
us.
It's
not
a
reflection
of
me
or
the
10
000
residents
who
live
along
this
corridor.
A
lot
of
us
have
disagreements
about
what
what
the
future
of
this
corridor
should.
Look
like.
A
C
C
It
is
the
case
that
the
second
part
of
this
resolution,
which
is
something
we
intend
to
do,
was
drafted
by
the
public
works
staff,
and
we
did
work
on
a
different
portion
of
this.
That
would
have
been
where
council
member
chuck
thai
has
put
in
the
part
about
other
units
of
government
directing
our
work
as
well,
which
I
think
is
a
bit
of
a
concern
here.
A
A
Thank
you.
Miss
roth.
I
appreciate
you
being
here
I'm
aware
that
last
year,
metro
transit
sent
a
letter
to
public
works,
supporting
the
24
7
bus
lanes
and
that
late
last
week,
metro
transit
sent
a
new
letter
to
public
works
in
support
of
dynamic
bus
lanes
as
a
mechanism
to
transition
to
24
7
bus
lanes.
Can
you
speak
to
that
most
recent
letter.
P
Madam
chair
council
members
good
afternoon,
my
name
is
katie
roth.
I
am
the
director
of
arterial
bus,
rapid
transit
at
metro
transit.
I
do
have
in
front
of
me
the
letter
that
we
delivered
to
public
works
late
last
week
following
discussion
with
staff
regarding
the
dynamic,
dynamically
operated
bus
lanes
that
are
being
discussed
today.
P
So
with
that,
you
know,
I
will
just
note
that
we
are
committed
to
continuing
to
work
with
the
city
to
arrive
at
the
appropriate
operational
strategy
and,
as
has
been
noted
today,
there
are
approximately
three
and
a
half
four
years
between
now
and
when
we
expect
this
street
to
be
open
following
the
reconstruction
and
the
2025
opening
of
the
metro,
e-line.
A
Thank
you
so
just
to
confirm.
So
if
we
proceed
with
a
operational
plan
which
included
dynamic
bus
lanes
as
a
means
to
transition
to
24
7
bus
lanes,
can
you
confirm
that
it
is
still
metro,
transit's
intention
to
transition
to
those
24
7
bus
lanes
and
that
the
dynamic
bus
lanes
would
not
be
permanent.
P
Madam
chair
council
members,
we
at
this
point
have
requested
that
the
city
not
take
action
on
specific
hours
of
operation
and
that
we
spend
the
interviewing
seasons
between
now
and
construction
of
the
corridor
and
operations
to
really
arrive
at
that
best
approach
for
opening
day
of
the
hennepin
avenue
reconstruction
and
the
metro
eli,
as
well
as
into
the
future.
P
A
A
Thank
you
for
clarifying.
I
appreciate
that
and
then
I
just
have
one
question
for
the
city
attorney
too,
can
you
give
your
perspective
on
the
staff
directive
and
are
there
any
issues
with
the
way
that
the
staff
direction
is
written
as
it
is
right
now.
L
Thank
you,
czerkovsky.
The
staff
directive
right
now
does
not
align
with
the
the
legal
parameters.
That's
passed,
city,
council
resolutions
and
city
ordinances
have.
L
Outlined
in
that
it
directs
public
works
to
ensure
certain
lane
operations,
which
is
outside
of
the
scope
of
city
council.
So
the
second
part
of
the
staff
direction
is
appropriate
and
legally
appropriate,
but
the
the
second
sentence
of
the
first
paragraph
is
where
we
draw
some
problems.
A
Okay,
thank
you
so
much
consumer.
A
M
A
Storm
of
some
sorts
brewing.
F
Here,
yeah,
so
just
just
on
the
on
the
shaolin
shore,
peace,
you
know
again,
I
I
want
to
just
go
back
to
councilmember
payne's
question
from
earlier
today,
which,
which
you
clarified
for
us,
that
the
the
delegation
of
that
responsibility
entirely
to
our
city,
engineer
and
our
and
our
public
works
director
is
one
that
is
has
has
actually
to
to
your
knowledge
has
never
been
tested
in
court.
And
so
that's.
F
That's
certainly
that's
certainly
a
perspective.
I'm
I'm
willing
to
hear.
F
I
guess
I'm
I'm
just
not
fully
sure
where
an
arbitrary
piece
on
this
is
coming
from,
but
I
actually
want
to
go
back
to
the
question
that
you
asked
of
of
metro
transit
earlier
council
or
tcharkovsky,
and
I
think
there
was
just
something
that
was
like
slightly
misconstrued
about
this
letter
that
metro
transit
sent
to
us
which
was
sent
to
or
that
metro
transit
sent
to
public
works
which
was
sent
to
council
members
this
morning
by
our
public
works
director.
F
I
think
using
the
word
support
feels
like
a
little
bit
of
of
an
exaggeration,
of
what
the
letter
actually
says
it
it
the
letter.
Does
it
doesn't
support
or
endorse
the
dynamic
lanes,
but
gives
some
it
makes
some
requests
of
the
city.
Should
we
choose
to
move
forward
with
dynamic
lanes?
The
specific
language
written
over
here
is:
should
the
city
advance
dynamic
lanes.
F
If
that's
what
you
choose
to
do,
then
here
are
some
things
we
need
from
you
in
order
to
make
this
work,
and
so
I
just
wanted
to
clarify
that
that
point.
Thank
you.
K
Yes,
thank
you,
chair
koski.
I
think
I
will
will
be
supporting
this
resolution
one
until
our
city
attorneys
can
also
give
us
some
legal
presidents
as
to
why
we
were
able
to
make
similar
decisions
when
it
comes
to,
for
instance,
marketed
set.
Second,
I
would
feel
comfortable
if
we
have
state
statutes
that
have
preempted
this
type
of
action
before
to
have
that
information
prior
to
basically
not
moving
forward
with
this
resolution.
So
I
look
forward
to
getting
that
information
from
our
city
attorney,
specifically
both
on
nicolette
mall
and
mark
added.
K
Second,
second,
I
would
like
to
know
either
through
our
metro
met
council,
folks
or
even
mac,
I'm
interested.
You
know.
The
original
plan
has
always
said
you
know
full
day,
24
7.
what
specific
pinpoints
or
that
made
the
shift
for
us
to
now
use
this
language
of
dynamic
blessings
so,
and
I
think
council,
member
chuck
tai
highlighted
that
in
the
timeline
you
we
just
got
this
letter
this
morning.
C
C
So,
if
you
remember
back
and
maybe
becca,
you
want
to
put
back
up
that
public
engagement
graph
there,
the
there
was
another
round
of
public
engagement
after
last
fall,
and
we
heard
from
many
many
many
many
many
people
again
and
I
think
it
is
fair
to
say
that
on
the
side
of
concern-
and
you
know,
there's
a
lot
of
people
who
have
a
lot
of
concerns,
but
I
have
been
fairly
clear.
We
are
supportive
and
thank
you
for
your
support
of
the
dedicated
bike
path.
C
Thank
you
for
your
support
of
the
increased
pedestrian
facility
safety
on
this,
the
two-way
traffic,
the
median
all
those
things
we
are
supportive
of
those
things.
There
are
people
who
actually
are
against
some
of
those
things.
Folks
I
mean
you
know
that
you've
heard
those
people
what
I
think
the
bigger
concern
was
was
hearing
the
thing
that
rose
to
the
top,
in
that
large
bar
of
comments
was
a
parking
concern,
particularly
by
these
small
businesses.
C
C
The
I
think
the
important
part
here
council,
member
wanse
worleva,
is
that
metro
transit
actually
uses
dynamic
lanes
in
every
other
arterial
brt.
This
is
a
14
mile
section
or
line,
and
this
is
1.4
miles
of
it.
We
want
to
make
sure
it's
successful,
working
together
having
data-driven
metrics
with
metro
transit
and
that's
how
that
discussion
came
about.
We
have
almost
a
monthly
meeting
about
this
with
metro
transit
discussing
how
to
both
work
through
operations
and
implementation
of
of
a
arterial
brt
line.
We
do
that
actually
on
every
single
line,
that's
being
built
right
now,.
K
So
just
clarification.
Thank
you
mac.
I
absolutely
understand
that
you
know
metro
count.
Metro
have
used
dynamic
lanes.
I
think
what
I
noted
is
in
the
its
original
plan.
The
language
that
was
agreed
upon
was
around
full-time,
dedicated
lanes,
and
I
think
you're,
noting
that
there
has
always
been
this.
This
openness
or
a
practice
for
maybe
those
things
to
shift
I'm
just
staying
in
the
ground
of
we
started
with
that
being
the
share
priority.
K
Also,
when
you
come
back
to
us
to
present
on
the
resolution,
you
know
we
saw
the
the
slide
up
here.
While
that
showed
you
know
the
overall
like
kind
of
comment
or
public
engagement,
it
doesn't
present
very
clearly
what
you're
sharing
with
us
the
the
qualifiable
data
where
parking
was
highlighted.
So
if
there's
a
way
for
staff
to
also
be
able
to
present
that
to
us
to
the
public
as
well,
that
shows
that
10
000
comment
period
or
whatever
the
the
quantity
was
for
last
fall.
K
Where
that
particular
concern
was
raised
in
terms
of
you
know
parking
and
how
that
then
transcended
to
okay,
we
must
then
move
forward
with
dynamic,
so
that
data
would
absolutely
be
helpful
when
you
come
before
us
again.
As
of
now
what
we
agreed
upon
in
that
motion
was
in
june
or
even
prior
to
then
I
would
love
to
get
that
information.
C
Madam
chair,
we
will
do
our
best
for
june,
but
I
I
will
say
there
are
a
lot
of
comments
there
and
I
think
becca
beck
and
alan
have
shared
with
me
that
we
may
need
some
assistance
in
going
through
and
categorizing
every
single
comment
and
and
presenting
it.
And
so
I'm
not
sure
about
june.
But
we
we
can
provide
that
so.
K
G
Council,
member-
that
is
true
you
know,
and
part
of
the
reason
was,
is
that
yes,
we
we
certainly
have
the
capability
to
break
down
and
actually
provide
an
exact
percentage,
but
really
what
we
were
trying
to
stay
away
from
actually
categorizing.
It
was
frankly
not
to
have
a
popularity
contest.
What
we
were
really
trying
to
do-
and
I
meant
I
mean
that
more
in
the
veins
of
like
fundamentally
the
layout
that
we
were
looking
to
propose
again.
G
This
was
all
about
starting
with
the
foundation
of
policy
and
doing
all
that
technical
analysis
to
support
the
layout
and
then
also
utilizing
that
public
feedback
as
a
means
of
making
adjustments
or
tweaks
in
the
overall
layout.
But
if
you're
looking
for
an
actual
quantitative
number,
that's
certainly
something
we
can
provide.
We've
we've
got
spreadsheets
and
spreadsheets
of
information,
but
it
was
purposefully
not
broken
down
into
a
certain
percentage
of
winners
and
losers.
When
we
were
looking
at
this,
I.
K
Think
that
would
be
helpful
for
me,
especially
since
mac
just
noted
that
one
of
the
reasons
why
or
decision
making
factors
that's
why
we're
moving
with
dynamic
was
the
feedback
that
came
from
the
public
engagement
last
fall.
So
I
assumed
that
that
information
had
been
categorized
to
to
get
to
that
conclusion.
K
But
yes,
we'll
love
to
see
that
data
to
make
sure
you
know
mac.
If
this
is
the
the
key
factor
contributing
to
the
decision
to
move
to
dynamic
that
the
data
backs
it
up
too.
So,
yes,
I
know
that's
going
to
take
time,
so
I'm
researching
myself
data
is
hard
to
work
with,
especially
with
y'all
y'all
doing
stuff
with
bricks,
and
that's
just
not
my
not
my
ministry,
but
yes,
I
would
love
to
see
that.
G
And
just
for
clarification
too,
there
are
huge
volumes
of
comments
about
the
parking
it's
not
like.
This
was
an
arbitrary
well,
you
know
we
had
200
people
that
said
that
they
were
upset
about
parking
removal.
I
mean
there's
there's
it
is.
It
is
fairly
weighted
in
terms
of
of
where
we're
at
with
this
and
again,
we
can
certainly
provide
you
with
a
breakdown,
if
that's
just
more
for
informational
purposes,
but
it
wasn't
because
it
was
51
of
the
threshold
of
people.
It
was
like.
G
O
Councilman
marvita,
thank
you,
chair
koski.
This
question
may
be
for
director
anderson
kelleher
or
for
for
the
person
who's
here
from
metro
transit.
I'm
sorry,
I
forgot
your
name
councilmember
chuck
thai
talked
earlier
about
the
language
in
the
letter,
and
I
was
just
wondering:
if
should
you
use
was
maybe
in
there
because
of
local
control.
C
It's
also
the
reason
legislators
wrote
you
a
letter
and
didn't
pass
a
law
telling
you
what
to
do,
and
I
think
that
we
we
do
need
to
think
about
that
as
we
move
forward
about
the
independence
of
minneapolis
to
have
their
own
ordinances
laws
and
rules
versus
being
told
what
to
do
by
others.
P
Madam
chair
council,
member
just
to
add
to
that
I
I
will
just
note
that
the
language
of
should
the
city
advance
recognizes
that
the
city
makes
decisions
about
how
lanes
are
designated
on
city
streets.
Metro
transit
operates,
buses
on
those
streets,
metro
transit,
also
with
our
growing
program
of
bus.
A
Thank
you
so
much
so
seeing
no
further
discussion
and
I'm
just
gonna
ask
that,
given
that
the
staff
direction
was
given
to
council
members
less
than
24
hours
prior
to
today's
public
works
and
infrastructure
committee
meeting
and
as
such,
the
council
members
on
the
this
committee
have
had
less
than
24
hours
to
review
the
staff
direction.
That's
before
us,
I
move
that
we
forward
the
staff
direction
to
the
city
council
without
recommendation,
so
that
it
is
still
considered
by
the
city
council,
but
after
council
members
have
had
adequate
time
to
review.
Madam.
K
A
Second,
okay,
so
we
have
a
motion
for
council
member
chug
thai.
Sorry,
thank
you
for
your
patience,
everybody
for
councilmember
chugtai
to
put
her
staff
direction
forward,
and
do
I
have
a
second
second
all
right
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
have
the
clerk
call
the
role.
O
A
Oh
sorry,
that
carries
and
with
that
we
have
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
the
committee
and
so
with
objection.
We
stand
adjourned.
