A
Let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
a
quorum
and
with
that
we
have
our
agenda
before
us
today.
I
will.
We
do
have
a
walk-on
item.
I
will
move
to
add
this
to
the
consent,
part
of
the
agenda
and
this
item
we
originally
had
submitted
as
going
to
the
budget
committee
and
after
some
back
and
forth
and
further
reflection
on
it,
since
it's
related
to
the
sidewalk
snow
and
ice
removal
Pilots.
A
Where
we've
had
this
ongoing
continuing
conversation
in
this
committee,
we
did
think
it
would
be
most
appropriate
for
this
item
to
move
through
this
committee.
So
I
will
see
if
there
are
any
comments
or
questions
from
colleagues
on
adding
this
to
the
agenda.
Otherwise,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
no.
The
motion
carries
and
with
that
we
will
move
our
consent
agenda.
A
There
are
now
12
items
on
the
consent
agenda,
which
I
will
read
for
the
record
items:
2,
3
and
4
for
are
approving
appointments
to
the
Central
Avenue
East
Street
and
Uptown
Special
Service,
District
advisory
boards
and
then
items
number
five
is
setting
a
public
hearing
for
September
14th.
To
consider
proposed
2024
services
and
service
charges
for
the
downtown
business,
Improvement,
Special,
Service
District,
did
item
number
six
is
receiving
and
filing
the
2022
annual
reports.
An
authorizing
year-end
budget
procedures
for
several
special
service
districts.
A
Is
the
Mexican
Independence
Day,
September
17th
and
then
item
13
that
we
just
added
is
this
resolution
of
this
committee's
support
for
the
snow
and
ice
removal,
pilots
and
online
interactive
tracking
tools
that
were
discussed
in
the
last
meeting
and
then
also
on
June
8th
when
it
comes
to
that
tracking
tool
and
encouraging
inclusion
in
the
mayor's
2024
budget
recommendations?
So
with
that
I
will
see
if
there
are
any
comments
or
questions
on
these
items,
councilmember
Payne.
E
Thank
you.
Joe
Johnson
I
want
to
speak
to
item
number
two
Central
Avenue,
Service,
District
appointment,
I'm,
just
really
happy
to
see
Elizabeth
Richardson
on
that
list.
She
owns
recovery,
Bike
Shop,
which
has
been
on
Central
Avenue
for
quite
some
time
and
I
also
want
to
highlight.
E
You
know
these
are
the
members
that
are
really
dealing
with
the
issues
on
the
streets
every
single
day
and
one
of
the
things
that's
been
an
issue
over
on
Central
and
Laurie
is
just
the
challenges
of
you
know:
there's
the
bus
shelter
there
and
we
have
a
lot
of
unsheltered
folks
hanging
out
there
and
there's
a
liquor
store
there
and
it's
kind
of
a
it's
a
cycle
that
exists
and
it's
a
cycle.
That's
been
a
real
struggle
for
the
business
owners
over
on
Central
and
I.
E
Think
there
is
an
approach
that
we
could
take
where
we're
leveraging
our
Special
Service
District,
whether
it's
you
know,
modeling
off
of
our
downtown
improvement
district
with
the
safety,
Ambassador
or
some
other
type
of
program.
But
I
just
wanted
to
take
a
moment
to
highlight
that.
There's
a
real
need
there.
I
can
see
our
special
service
districts
playing
a
role
there.
E
I've
brought
this
up
with
our
community
safety
commissioner
before
and
I'd
like
to
for
us
to
start
thinking
about
that
as
we're
thinking
about
these
Service
District
appointments
and,
ultimately
approving
their
budgets
towards
the
end
of
this
year.
I'm
just
trying
to
raise
that
flag
as
something
for
us
to
consider,
but
really
looking
forward
to
this
appointment
with
Elizabeth
Richardson.
So
thank.
A
You
thank
you,
councilmember
Payne,
any
further
discussion
on
these
consent
items
not
seeing
any
I
will
just
speak
to
item
13
that
we
added
for
a
moment.
I
really
want
to
thank
the
department
for
all
their
work
on
this
big
question
over
how
we
improve
sidewalks
on
Ice
clearance,
that,
through
the
multiple
presentations,
all
the
thoughtful
discussion
and
work
that
went
in
that.
A
On
this,
and
you
know
as
we're
taking
this
up
too
I
wanted
to
note
that
I'd
all
I
had
reached
out
right
after
our
last
committee
to
the
mayor's
office
to
give
them
a
heads
up
about
this
as
well,
and
believe
that
this
was
well
received,
that
this
is
the
committee's
Hope
and
and
recommendation
around
this,
and
certainly
this
doesn't
bind
the
mayor
in
any
way
from
including
it
in
his
2024
budget.
A
We
hope
it
is
in
there,
of
course,
but
look
forward
to
seeing
ultimately
what
ends
up
being
in
the
budget
and
what
comes
forward
around
this
issue
and
these
other
important
Public
Works
issues.
A
So
with
that
councilmember
Payne
any
further
discussion.
Okay,
perfect,
all
right,
all
those
in
approval
of
the
consent
agenda,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed,
say,
nay.
That
motion
carries
next.
We
will
move
on
to
our
public
hearing
today,
which
is
considering
assessments
for
snow
and
ice
removal
from
public
sidewalks.
Our
first
item
today
is
a
public
hearing
and
director
Anderson
Kelleher,
who
will
be
presenting
on
this
item.
Thank.
G
Good
afternoon
committee
chair
and
members
of
the
Public
Works
infrastructure
committee,
my
name
is
Larry
Matsumoto
and
I
am
a
principal
professional
engineer
with
public
works
and
I
am
here
to
present
to
you,
the
public
hearing
for
snow
and
ice
enforcement
and
recommend
a
passage
of
the
resolution
adopting
and
living
assessments
and
adopting
the
assessment
role
for
the
sidewalk
snow
and
ice
charges
for
the
22-23
winter
season.
On
a
list
of
properties
dated
June
1st
of
2023.
G
on
June,
8th
of
2023,
the
city
council
designated
a
public
hearing
for
July
27th
to
consider
the
assessment
charges
for
snow
and
ice
removal
from
public
sidewalks
that
remain
unpaid,
each
winter
season,
Public
Works
and
forces
the
sidewalk
shoveling
ordinance
445
for
properties
in
violation
of
this
ordinance.
Public
Works
sends
a
notice
to
the
property
owner
and
if
the
property
owner
remains
in
violation,
then
Public
Works
hires
a
private
contractor
to
remove
snow
and
ice
on
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
the
property.
All
Property
Owners
receive
a
bill
for
the
completed
work.
G
G
If
the
property
owner
is
satisfied
with
the
determination
of
the
administrative
hearing
officer,
no
further
action
is
necessary.
If
the
property
owner
wishes
to
contest
the
administrative
hearing
officers
determination,
they
may
choose
to
appeal
at
a
public
hearing
before
the
Public,
Works
and
infrastructure
Committee
of
the
city
council.
If
the
appeal
was
denied
by
the
committee,
then
they
may
appeal
to
District
Court.
G
This
appeal
must
be
made
within
30
days
of
the
adopted
adoption
of
the
assessment
roles
by
the
city
council,
a
list
of
properties
and
charges
to
be
assessed
to
be
provided
at
the
time
of
the
public
hearing,
the
properties
to
on
the
list
to
be
assassed,
dated
June
1st
of
2023
and
then
I
is
on
file
with
the
city
Engineers
a
special
assessment
office.
The
amount
to
be
assessed
is
special
assessments.
Principal
is
the
cost
of
the
removal
work.
G
The
total
principal
amount
of
the
proposed
assessment
on
the
list
of
properties
to
be
assessed
is
two
hundred
and
thirty,
four
thousand
three
hundred
and
eighty
one
dollars
and
fifty
cents.
The
assessments
will
be
collected
in
their
entirety
in
the
2024
real
estate
tax
statements
with
interest.
This
concludes
my
presentation
and
I
am
available
for
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you,
Mr
ransomato
I
will
go
ahead
and
open
the
public
hearing
today
and
we
have
one
individual
signed
up.
Will
grieger
please
come
on
up.
We
do
have
the
two
minute
timer
for
folks,
where
we
might
have
others
in
the
room
as
well
to
speak
and
will
the
floor
is
yours.
C
Thank
you
for
having
this
hearing
today.
My
name
is
Will
grieger
I
apologize
for
my
informal
dress.
I
did
not
know
the
procedure
I,
so
I
submitted
a
letter
to
the
previous
meeting
in
front
of
a
judge
to
appeal
my
charge
of
229
at
my
property,
but
the
judge
recused
himself,
so
it
was
passed
along
to
this
hearing.
I
got
this
letter
from
the
city
for
a
bill
for
229
and
it
says
on
Friday
January
6th.
C
They
received
a
complaint
from
my
property
and
on
the
9th
there
was
a
notification
mailed
to
me
to
clear
my
sidewalks
on
the
2nd
of
February.
They
inspected
the
property
and
it
was
still
in
violation
and
on
Thursday
that
day
they
hired
a
contractor
to
clear
it
and
I
received
my
first
correspondence
on
April
4th.
C
The
reason
I
appealed.
The
charge
of
229
is
because
I
never
received
the
first
correspondence
from
the
city
and,
if
I
had
I
would
have
taken
measures
to
ensure
that
I
wasn't
in
violation
every
time
it
snows
I
make
sure
to
get
out
within
24
hours
like
it
says
in
the
code.
Every
time
since
I
bought
the
house.
C
Sometimes,
though,
and
what
was
I
was
in
violation
here
of
allegedly
I,
don't
think
that
it
was
a
problem,
but
there
was
a
crud
that
my
snowblower
doesn't
lift
up,
that
you
see
all
over
the
sidewalks
in
the
city
in
the
winter
time,
I
always
made
sure
it
wasn't
slippery
thinking
of
people
using
the
sidewalk
and
then
I
go
back
inside
if
I
would
receive
the
letter,
I
would
have
either
bought
a
new
tool
to
try
to
break
up
the
ice
or
I
would
have
salted,
but
I
didn't
receive
the
letter,
so
I
I
just
want
to
ask
if
the
fee
could
be
reduced
or
removed.
A
Thank
you
all
right,
let's
see
if
anyone
else
is
here
to
speak
on
this
item
today,
if
you
haven't
signed
up
yet
I
see
a
hand
in
the
back,
please
come
on
up
and
then
afterwards,
I
will
ask
you
to
go
and
see
our
city
clerk
so
that
we
can
make
sure
we
get
spelling
of
your
name
and
your
address
and
all
that
information.
Okay,
sounds.
H
Cool
thank
you
welcome.
My
name
is
Joel
about
my
property
at
1533,
on
East
18th
Street
in
Minneapolis
I
received
a
citation
for
229,
also
for
the
sidewalk,
and
what
had
happened
was
that
that
morning,
I
had
removed
snow
from
the
sidewalk,
but
it's
but
it
the
truck.
There's
no
trucks
came
over
and
pushed
the
snow
from
the
street
onto
the
sidewalk.
So
by
the
time
I
got
home
after
work.
H
It
was
just
a
huge
pile
of
snow
and
I
actually
did
remove
a
little
bit
from
the
path
I
had
to
pour
so
much
some
more
salt
on
there
and
also
called
311's
complain
about
it.
I
called
my
city
inspectors
to
complain
about
it
and
all
they
said
was
next
time.
Do
it
after
a
true
truck
has
gone
by,
which
is
not
feasible,
so
I
did
remove
it,
but
I
received
the
citations
telling
me
that
there's
no
need
to
be
removed
across
the
entire
width
of
the
sidewalk,
but
by
that
time
is
really.
H
A
Anyone
else
anyone
else
I'm
going
to
go
ahead
and
close
the
public
hearing
and
then
I
will
see
if
there's
any
discussion
on
this
item
and
then
I
will
also
ask
our
our
staff,
if
you
could
please
connect
with
the
two
individuals
that
showed
up
today
and
speak
with
them
about
the
circumstances,
specifically
with
their
properties.
If
you
would
be
able
to
do
that
afterwards,
Mr
massimoto.
G
A
Thank
you,
and
now
you
make
me
question
whether
I,
not
you
I'm
questioning
whether
I
close
the
public
hearings
I'll,
officially
close
it,
since
no
one
else
is
here
to
speak
on
this
and
and
see.
If
there
are
any
questions
from
committee
members
and
not
seeing
it
would
just
encourage
the
two
individuals
who
showed
up
today
to
please
meet
with
our
staff
and
talk
with
them
about
your
specific
cases.
That
is
the
next
step
around
this
as
well.
Thank
you
and
I
will
go
ahead
and
move
this
item
forward
to
the
council.
A
With
recommendation
for
consideration
of
final
action,
all
those
in
favor,
please
signify
by
saying
aye
aye,
those
opposed
say
an
a
the
motion
carries
all
right.
Thank
you,
and
now
we'll
move
on
to
our
final
item
today,
which
is
receiving
and
filing
the
your
city,
your
streets,
2022
progress
report,
director,
Anderson
Keller,
will
be
presenting
on
this
item
today.
Thank.
F
A
I
Floor
is
yours
good
afternoon,
Joe
Johnson,
member
of
the
Committees
I,
had
my
third
point.
We
also
enjoy
giving
this
presentation
so
I'm
glad
we're
in
agreement.
My
name
is
Peter
Bennett
I
am
a
transportation
planner
with
Transportation
Planning
and
programming
in
public
works
and
we're
here
to
present
the
your
city
or
streets
report,
an
annual
report
that
updates
you
on
the
progress
of
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan.
I
As
you
can
see
here,
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan
was
enacted
by
this
Council
in
2016
and
it
guarantees
a
minimum
amount
of
annual
funding
for
streets
and
capital
projects.
It
also
requires
a
report
back,
which
is
what
we're
doing
here
today.
We
enjoy
giving
this
presentation
because
it
helps
us
celebrate
our
work
for
the
year.
The
work
of
our
crews,
which
number
the
Public
Works
staff
numbers
in
the
thousands.
I
I
The
photos
you'll
see
and
the
numbers
here
are
not
necessarily
an
exhaustive
list
of
all
Public
Works
activity,
there's
some
that
are
more
routine,
that
don't
always
get
highlighted
here,
but
that
is
also
the
work
of
our
department,
and
this
report
also
includes
highlights
of
projects
that
aren't
directly
funded
by
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan,
but
they're
just
things
that
we're
excited
about
to
share
so
also
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan
did
detail
a
methodology
for
how
to
choose
projects
and
use
data
to
really
drive
that,
and
so
shown
on.
I
Today
we
are
going
to
be
using
that
and
we
are
going
to
be
using
at
one
point,
the
older
measure,
which
was
called
acp50,
so
we're
kind
of
showing
you
both
numbers
so
that
you
see
how
the
transition
is
happening
and
the
for
when
we
say
we
have
miles
of
Street
work
in
a
equity
priority
area.
In
this
presentation,
we're
referring
to
the
tep
scores
one
and
two
and
we'll
see
on
the
next
slide
that
there
is
a
map
that
shows
overlap
between
tep,
1
and
2,
and
the
acp50
areas.
I
So
here's
those
Maps
I
mentioned
the
the
yellow
shows
acp50
areas
which
was
in
Old
measure
that
we've
transitioned
away
from
as
asked
for
by
the
racial
Equity
framework
and
the
purplish
blue
are
the
gradations
of
tep1
through
five,
so
tip
one
and
two
and
acp50
have
an
overlap
of
about
88.
And
so
when
we
say
we
have
miles
of
streets
project
in
one
of
those
areas,
you'll
see
on
the
next
one
that
it's
a
fairly
similar
measure,
but
not
exactly
the
same
because
they
use
different
demographic
data,
foreign,
so
miles
of
streets.
I
So
the
20-year
streets
funding
plan
was
adopted
in
2017
and
we
are
cumulatively
adding
on
to
what
the
miles
of
work
were
last
year
and
adding
to
that,
as
we
go
to
report
on
how
our
progress
is
going
for
this
plan
that
was
passed
since
2017,
there
have
been
228
miles
of
work
done
on
all
city
streets
in
Minneapolis
of
those
71
miles
have
occurred
in
an
equity
priority
area,
whether
that
was
acp50
up
until
this
year
or
tap
one
and
two
as
of
this
year.
I
I
We're
also
going
to
report
on
the
temp
one
and
two
areas
in
2022
227
intersections
had
some
type
of
improvement
made,
whether
those
were
the
curb
extensions.
I
was
just
mentioning
or
other
traffic
signal
improvements,
and
that
does
include
36
traffic
signals
that
we've
visited
in
lot
in
the
last
year
and
then
Paving
and
Bikeway
work.
Any
kind
of
linear
work
along
streets
accounted
for
40.4
miles
of
work.
I
Again,
you
see
the
6.4
done
in
tip
one
and
two
areas
so
now
we'll
switch
to
the
photo
part
of
the
presentation
we're
going
to
start
with
our
reconstruction
projects.
Reconstructions
are
we
go
down
deep
into
the
street?
We
work
from
property
line
to
property
line,
and
this
is
our
best
opportunity
to
really
rethink
what
a
street
can
have.
What
kind
of
features
you
can
install
like
bikeways,
pedestrian
improvements,
those
are
all
outcomes
of
reconstructions
and
later
we'll
be
looking
at
Bikeway
and
pedestrian
improvements,
particularly
but
as
you'll
see
throughout
our
reconstructions.
I
Those
are
features
that
we
install.
First
one
is
Franklin
Avenue.
This
project
saw
new
sidewalks,
bikeways,
medians
and
green
boulevards
installed,
and
it
really
sets
the
tone
for
Hennepin
County's
future
project
on
on
Franklin
next
up
4th
Street
in
downtown.
This
was
the
second
year
of
a
two-year
project,
and
this
finished
the
section
from
second
to
Hennepin,
and
this
includes
sidewalks
and
green
space
along
4th.
Street
Hennepin
Avenue
itself
downtown
also
had
two
blocks
in
2022
that
were
finishing
off
of
a
multi-year
project.
Those
are
the
blocks
from
7th
to
5th.
I
On
Bryant
Avenue,
this
was
reconstructed
with
a
two-way
Trail,
a
one-way
Street
and
green
space,
and
this
project
continues
this
year
continuing
up
to
Lake
Street
on
Grand
Avenue.
This
was
the
second
year
of
a
multi-year
project
and
it
completed
the
new
streetscapes
that
includes
curb
extensions,
Green,
Space,
new
pedestrian,
Crossings
and
traffic.
Calming.
I
I
Another
of
our
Paving
programs
I
like
this
photo
you
get
to
see
the
work
in
action.
This
is
our
residential
reconstruction
program
and
it
visited
the
Luella
a
Anderson
Paving
area.
This
is
an
area
with
concrete
streets,
and
so
this
program
replaced
concrete
panels
and
also
as
a
full
reconstruction
included,
intersection
improvements
and
expanded
boulevards.
I
Now
we'll
turn
to
what
we
call
Cooperative
program
projects.
These
are
any
projects
where
we
work
with
our
partners
that
are
in
other
agency
and
the
way
we
participate
in
those
is
either
by
cost
sharing
or
by
joining
their
design
team,
and
usually
both
this
first
one
was
a
partnership
with
MnDOT,
and
it
was
a
resurfacing
of
Hiawatha
Avenue,
which
gave
us
the
opportunity
to
realign
intersections
for
safety.
I
Moving
back
to
some
of
our
Public
Works
programs,
the
bridge
repair
program
did
preventative
maintenance
on
the
Bloomington
Avenue
Bridge
over
Minnehaha
Creek
and
our
traffic
signal
program.
This
is
one
slide
to
highlight
all
36
signals
that
I
mentioned
earlier
that
they
did
work
at
this
is
a
unique
intersection
that
has
a
pedestrian
scramble
where
pedestrian
Crossings
can
happen
in
all
Direction
at
once,
and
currently
the
only
one
in
Minneapolis,
okay.
I
I
We
did
not
have
a
sidewalk
gap
program.
This
year
we
worked
on
3.4
miles
of
streets
to
do
pedestrian
lighting
improvements,
0.8
miles
where
safety,
conversions,
that's
narrowing,
or
reducing
lanes
for
safety
reasons
and
1277
Ada
ramps
were
installed.
I
We
also
have
a
Ada
ramp
program,
and
these
are
some
examples
of
ramps
that
were
put
in
many.
Other
ramps
are
done
via
the
pavement
maintenance
programs,
so
this
is,
these
are
just
some
examples
of
Standalone
ramps.
These
are
done
usually
via
community
concerns
or
requests,
and
the
majority
of
ramps
are
actually
done
during
repaving.
I
I
And
next
we'll
highlight
two
different,
safe
routes
to
school
program
projects.
This
is
a
program
that
looks
at
school
areas
and
making
improvements
based
on
having
a
safe,
walking
and
biking
path
to
that
school.
At
the
Whittier
Elementary
School
bump
outs
were
installed
and
also
on
a
few
number
nearby
streets
as
well.
I
A
E
Thank
you,
Mr,
chair,
yeah,
I
was
I,
should
preface
this
with
I
have
a
couple
projects
in
my
ward
that
got
downgraded
from
reconstruction
and
pushed
back
a
little
bit,
and
one
of
the
topics
of
conversation
with
some
of
my
community
members
is
around
and
I'll
speak
specifically
to
29th
Avenue.
E
We
have
a
lot
of
ADA
ramps
going
in,
which
is
you
know,
there's
been
some
like
back
and
forth
on
whether
or
not
the
community
would
prefer
to
wait
into
to
do
the
work
and
have
a
reconstruction
rather
than
a
million
overlaid
sooner,
and
there
was
some
concern
about
the
installation
of
the
Ada
ramps
kind
of
fixing
in
place.
E
The
road
infrastructure,
regardless
of
what
happens
going
forward
and
I,
was
just
curious
if,
as
we
think
about
some
of
these
reconstructions,
while
doing
these
Ada
ramp
installations,
is
that
taking
off
the
table
things
like
some
of
the
curb
extensions
and
opportunities
to
narrow
the
road,
even
in
the
event
of
a
not
a
full
reconstruction,
or
would
we
only
get
to
see
those
types
of
facilities
through
a
full
reconstruction.
F
J
Chair
councilmember
Payne,
in
regards
to
your
question
about
29th
Ave
Northeast,
we've
worked
very
closely
with
your
ward
office
and
the
neighborhood
association
gone
to
many
meetings
to
understand
a
lot
of
the
concerns
and
I.
Think
part
of
the
answer
that's
baked
into
the
presentation
today.
E
J
Chair
council,
member
Payne,
when
we
look
at
our
asset
conditions
and
that
was
identified
for
improvements
with
resurfacing
and
then
now
we're
doing
Ada
ramps.
As
you
highlighted.
Yes,
we
are
looking
at
something
that
would
have
a
substantial
length,
I
can't
exactly
say
20
years
or
however
many
years,
but
it
is
something
that
we
are
looking
at
for
a
life
cycle
of
at
least
another
10
to
15
years.
Is
we
try
to
maintain
all
the
streets
throughout
their
City?
Okay,.
K
Thank
you,
chair,
Johnson,
I,
will
know.
I
was
really
excited
to
see
the
racial
Equity
framework
for
transportation
being
used
to
guide
these
Investments
and
the
information
you
shared
at
the
beginning
of
this
presentation
was
really
helpful
for
helping
I
think
us
this
body
understand.
K
You
know
how
projects
are
being
triaged
according
to
both
urgency,
as
well
as
Equity
and
using
you
know,
evidence-based
models
through
the
the
ref
modifications,
as
opposed
to
just
you
know,
who
might
be
the
loudest
and
in
advocating
for
expansions
or
changes
to
their
street
designs.
K
So
that
was
really
great
to
see
us
moving
in
that
direction.
One
question
that
I
have
that's
been
ongoing
in
our
conversations
through
collaborating
with
Public
Public,
Works
leadership
and
staff,
it's
been
around
pedestrian
lighting.
K
One
thing
that
has
come
up
is,
depending
on
you
know
the
layout
of
a
street
additional
Street
lighting
may
or
may
not
help
with
Illuminating
sidewalks,
and
you
know
in
those
conversations
we
won
a
whole
parody
of
as
much
as
we're
making
investments
into
Street
lighting,
which
we've
done
substantially
this
year.
K
We
want
to
make
sure
we're
extending
that
to
sidewalks
too
and
that's
been
no
ongoing
concern,
especially
in
my
ward,
around
Como,
around
University
of
Minnesota
areas,
Prospect
Park,
where
people
recognize
that
that
there
is
additional
need
for
sidewalk
lighting.
So
the
question
I
had
is:
could
you
share
some
contacts
on
how
the
responsibility
for
maintaining
or
increasing
pedestrian
lighting
is
distributed
in
public
works?
Is
that
completely
within
the
purview
of
the
your
city
or
streets
program?
Or
is
it
divided
amongst
projects
or
divisions.
F
Thank
you.
Mr
chair
and
councilmember
wansley
I
believe
that
I'm
going
to
have
director
Klugman
come
up
and
answer
that
question.
D
Good
afternoon,
chair,
Johnson
council
member
members
of
the
committee
there's
a
few
parts
to
your
questions.
So
maybe
we
have
to
work
through
this
with
you
on
any
reconstruction
project
when
we
do
put
in
lighting
or
put
backlighting,
we
have
lighting
standards
for
the
different
type
of
roadway
and
the
intent
of
those
standards
is
to
light
kind
of
literally
along
the
roadway
and
the
sidewalk
so
we're
that
is
our
intent
with
the
design
in
terms
of
what
other
programs
and
that
would
go
along
with
the
roadway
reconstruction
project.
K
A
Thank
you,
council,
member,
any
other
comments
or
questions
from
committee
members.
Not
seeing
any
I
just
wanted
to
add
just
a
little
more
comment
here
on
this,
because
it's
not
lost
on
me.
A
How
much
work
truly
goes
in
to
this
across
the
city,
all
the
years
of
assessment
and
tracking
the
planning
and
prioritization
the
willingness
to
in
design
try
new
things
and
continue
to
try
to
advance
the
way
that
our
our
infrastructure
better
serves
residents
and
responds
to
things,
for
instance,
like
our
climate
crisis
that
we're
currently
in
and
then
not
to
mention
the
community
engagement,
getting
crews
out
there
pulling
all
of
this
project
off
on
time
on
budget,
in
some
cases
a
little
bit
early
in
some
cases.
A
You
know
we
run
into
unforeseen
challenges
because
you're
opening
up
streets
that
have
you
know
infrastructure,
that's
a
hundred
or
more
years
old
underneath
and
you
don't
really
know
because
of
a
lack
of
documentation
that
remains
or
no
document
station.
That
happened
in
the
first
place
what's
under
there,
and
so
it's
super
challenging.
A
It's
a
huge
undertaking
and
I
want
to
give
voice
to
this,
because
sometimes
when
we
see
these
numbers
and
and
you
know-
you
see
oh
33
miles
of
this
or
seven
miles
of
that-
these
are
massive
massive
year-long
efforts
involving
dozens,
if
not
hundreds
of
people
and
requires
so
much
work
and
and
then
it
shows
up
in
a
presentation
in
the
form
of
one
slide
picture
right
and-
and
that
can
you
know
in
a
way
it
can
be
lost
if
we
don't
give
voice
that
and
really
recognize
all
the
tremendous
effort
that
goes
into
this,
and
so
just
thank
you
so
much
to
the
team
and
all
of
your
partners,
the
whole
public
works
department.
A
That
is
a
part
of
doing
all
this
complex
massive
work.
It
is
so
critical
and
such
a
core
fundamental
service
of
this
city
and
I
just
am
really
proud
of
all
the
work
that
you're
doing
and
the
ways
that
you
continue
to
lead
and
that
other
cities
and
I'm
on
the
league
of
Minnesota
City,
so
I
talk
with
a
lot
of
them.
A
You
know
in
in
the
ways
that
they
look
to
Minneapolis
I,
hear
that
often
in
the
ways
they
look
to
Minneapolis
and
the
examples
we
provide
in
the
leadership
on
things
so
important
as
our
infrastructure.
So
thank
you
again,
not
seeing
any
other
comments
or
questions.
I
will
go
ahead
and
direct
the
clerk
without
objection
to
receive
and
file
this
report
and
with
that
we've
concluded
all
business
to
come
before
committee
without
objection
We
Stand
adjourned.
Thank
you.
Everyone.
