A
Well,
good
morning,
everyone,
this
is
a
beautiful
day
and
the
sun
is
shining,
perhaps
not
the
best
example,
to
show
that
we
need
more
lights
in
the
city.
But
the
truth
is
is
that
we
do
lighting,
helps
almost
everything
from
making
people
feel
safe
as
they
walk
down
the
street
from
deterring
would-be
criminals
from
committing
a
bad
act
to
just
making
people
feel
better.
A
It's
also
super
important
because,
although
it's
getting
light
pretty
early
right
now-
and
it
stays
light
until
quite
late
at
the
moment,
there
will
be
a
time
not
too
long
from
now
where
young
people
and
students
are
getting
up
in
the
morning
and
going
to
school
in
pretty
much
the
pitch
black
unless
their
street
lights
out.
Unless
we've
done
the
work
ahead
of
time
to
make
sure
that
kids
can
walk
to
school
and
walk
back
from
school
after
soccer
practice
with
lights,
and
so
we're
investing
about.
A
13
million
dollars
in
total
in
this
budget,
that's
on
top
of
the
approximately
1.2
million
dollars
that
we
put
in
through
arpa
to
enhance
our
lighting
system
to
expand
our
lighting
system
and
to
eliminate
the
backlog
that
we
already
have
now.
So
let
me
kind
of
go
through
what
that
looks
like
practically
and
what
it
means
in
terms
of
the
dollars.
A
This
is
nine
million
dollars
to
replacing
some
of
the
outdated
systems
that
we
have
in
loring
park
in
como,
in
marcy
homes
and
in
stephen
square,
which
is
where
we
are
right.
Now,
that's
nine
million
dollars.
We've
got.
We
had
the
1.21
million
dollars
in
arpa
funding
that
was
to
help
eliminate
some
of
the
backlog.
A
This
every
neighborhood
in
our
city
deserves
to
feel
safe.
Part
of
feeling
safe
is
making
sure
that
streets
are
well
lit
and
that
would
be
criminals
are
deterred.
We've
seen
it
directly
in
this
neighborhood
in
stevens
square
and
right
now-
and
this
is
coincidental-
I
noticed
as
we
were
pulling
up-
I
used
to
live
there,
sublet
an
apartment
back
in
in
saint
george's
apartments.
A
When
I,
when
I
first
was
a
summer
associate
out
here
at
fagley
and
benson,
and-
and
I
can
tell
you
even
back-
then
it
was
clear
that
this
particular
area
needed
improvement
with
light,
so
we're
going
ahead
and
we're
doing
it
we're
making
the
necessary
investments
and
a
big
part
of
that
is
getting
back
to
the
basics.
These
are
the
basics
that
people
in
our
city
should
expect.
A
They
should
expect
a
well-lit
path
on
their
way
to
school.
They
should
expect
a
well-lit
path
on
their
way
to
work,
and
they
should
expect
to
feel
safe.
This
is
fundamentals
done
right,
so
I'm
so
proud
to
be
with
here
with
a
number
of
our
extraordinary
council
members,
the
the
council
member
of
this
particular
award
here
in
stevens
square
is
council
member
jamal
osman
of
ward
6..
Let's
bring
him
up
council.
B
B
B
B
The
investment
amid
this
budget
is
street.
Lion
is
going
to
make
minneapolis
pride
again.
Neighbors
will
feel
safer,
walking
on
the
streets
at
night
four
and
a
half
million
dollars
this
year
is
a
huge
investment,
and
this
is
a
important
piece
or
of
infrastructure
the
city
plans
and
that
money
will
help
fill
the
dark
spots
of
our
city
throughout
my
world.
This
will
make
people
a
lot
safer
and
restore
the
necessity
of
the
city
services.
C
Thank
you.
Thank
you
trying
to
get
it
in
there.
That
was
really
sweet
good
afternoon
everyone.
First,
I
want
to
thank
the
mayor
for
his
proposed
investment
towards
street
lighting
and
infrastructure.
I
am
so
excited
to
see
this
initiative
being
brought
to
life.
It
was
northside
residents
who
first
brought
the
idea
to
light
some
of
my
first
meetings.
After
being
sworn
into
office
were
with
neighborhood
leaders
and
the
northside
youth
council.
C
They
wanted
to
be
a
part
of
the
solution
of
our
public
safety
issues.
We
all
agreed
that
street
lighting
and
infrastructure
was
simply
was
a
simple,
yet
effective
way
and
strategy.
While
meeting
with
the
north
side
youth
council,
they
offered
their
first
hand,
experiences
living
in
neighborhoods
without
proper
street
lighting.
They
shared
photos
with
us
of
their
walks
to
and
from
school
where
it
was
completely
pitch
black,
especially
in
the
colder
months
after
meeting
with
them.
C
C
This,
of
course,
does
not
include
street
lighting
that
has
been
damaged
or
is
not
working.
I
encourage
everyone
to
keep
in
contact
with
3-1-1
and
their
council
representatives
so
that
these
instances
are
well
documented.
I
look
forward
to
working
with
my
colleagues
on
the
council
and
the
mayor
in
making
this
investment
in
our
communities.
Let's
get
lit,
minneapolis.
D
Well,
that's!
Okay!
That's
all
right!
I
can
do
this
good
afternoon,
I'm
margaret
anderson
kelleher.
I
lead
the
department
of
public
works
for
the
city
of
minneapolis.
We
are
responsible
for
a
large
number
of
the
street
lights
in
minneapolis
over
20
000.
In
fact,
and
so
today
we're
here
to
highlight
and
thank
the
mayor.
I
want
to
thank
the
council
members,
particularly
council
member
vita
and
council
member
osman,
who've,
been
really
strong
advocates
of
more
money
for
street
lighting
during
the
pandemic.
D
We
had
real
impacts
in
our
street
lighting
system,
and
so
we
are
grateful
for
the
funding
both
the
arpa
funding
that
the
mayor
referenced,
that
is
coming
more
quickly
to
re,
resolve
the
problems
and
also
the
2023
and
2024
budget
proposal.
So
the
arpa
funding
here
in
the
stephen
square,
loring
heights
neighborhood,
is
been
dedicated.
A
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
dollars
for
the
ten
blocks
worth
of
lighting
and
underground
electrical
wiring
that
is
failing.
That
is
the
major
reason
that,
in
a
few
of
our
neighborhoods,
we
see
total
outage.
D
We
also
have
for
the
three
one
one
backlog
and
we
do
want
people
still
reporting
their
lights
out,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is,
we
have
now
450
000
to
help
address
that
backlog
of
lighting.
That
work
has
also
started
to
be
able
to
relieve
the
backlog
of
lights.
It's
one
of
my
top
priorities
as
public
works
director
when
I
came
in
march,
is
to
get
this
backlog
down
in
the
numbers,
and
we
also
have
a
number
of
amount
of
money.
D
D
A
Thank
you
so
much
director
kelleher
for
your
tireless
efforts
here,
a
big
thank
you
to
my
council
colleagues,
who
have
been
lit
100
of
the
time
between
council
members,
vita
and
osman,
and
and
our
our
city
staff
and
experts
with
with
brett
jelly
and
alan
klugman
and
steve
mosing
and
and
joe
lauren.
You
all
have
done
a
tremendous
job
in
putting
all
this
together.
There
is
a
lot
of
logistics
that
I
was
not
previously
aware
of
that
that
go
into
this.
These
massive
systems
that
are
that
is
our
lighting
infrastructure.
D
D
D
D
Yeah,
so
the
question
about
pandemic
effects.
It
was
a
combination
effect
because
there
was
a
period
of
time,
although
public
works
is
a
department
that
largely
has
reported
for
duty
every
single
day
of
the
pandemic.
There
were
necessary
staffing
prioritization
during
that
period
of
time,
being
able
to
do
sort
of
the
most
emergency
work
possible
and
also
there's
supply
chain
issues
that
have
been
going
on.
Everybody
has
heard
about
the
supply
chain
issues
that
is
still
going
to
be
a
bit
of
a
challenge
for
this
lighting
issue.
D
D
So
on
you
know
what
has
caused
the
failure
in
these
neighborhoods,
particularly
stephen
square
lauren
heights
neighborhood,
the
como
neighborhood
in
the
marcy
neighborhood
actually
has
to
do
more
with
the
type
of
wiring.
It
was
more
that
it
was
wiring
that
was
coming
in
contact
with
the
elements
versus
conduit
that
is
allowed
to
then
protect
that
wiring
keep
it
dryer,
keep
it
safer.
