From YouTube: OKC City Council 5.1.2012 - MAPS 3 / Core To Shore Study
Description
ADG's Mike Mize, MAPS 3 Program Consultant, gives a presentation on connections between the MAPS 3 program and the Core to Shore plan.
A
B
Mayor
as
we've
gotten
into
the
planning
process
on
maps,
some
folks
in
the
community
and
council,
people
actually
said
how
does
the
things
have
changed
since
we
originally
adopted
the
quarter
Shore
plan
and
now
as
we're
going
into
Maps
three?
How
do
those
relate,
and
so
with
that
we
test
a
dg2,
take
a
look
at
that
and
to
look
at
the
existing
quarter,
Shore
plan
and
how
that
how
that
now,
folds
into
Maps
three
Mike.
Thank.
C
C
It's
much
lengthier
the
this
presentations
long
enough,
but
the
the
actual
studies
even
longer
this
was,
as
manager
couch,
suggested,
a
study
that
was
conducted
for
the
purpose
of
trying
to
understand
how
specific
Maps
three
projects,
specifically
the
park
convention
center
in
streetcar,
might
impact
and
and
have
a
change
on
the
court
ashore
study
that
was
done,
I
believe
in
2008.
So
with
that
in
mind,
that's
the
what
we
that
was
our
goal
and
was
our
charge.
It
was
not
to
validate
the
three
Maps
projects.
C
One
of
the
other
things
that
needs
to
be
remembered
about
the
quarter
Shore
plan
is
that
it
was
always
envisioned
as
a
20
to
50
year
plan,
not
a
plan
that
would
result
in
just
remarkable
or
dramatic
changes
in
the
first
ten
years
certainly
changes,
but
this
is
a
long-term
plan
that
will
be
impacted
by
some
of
these
maps.
Three
projects.
Since
the
quarter
sure
plan
was
developed.
C
The
purpose
of
the
study,
as
I
indicated
before,
was
to
put
all
of
these
in
context
and
try
to
determine
what
kinds
of
impact
they
would
have
on
each
other
and
whether
or
not
any
significant
changes
were
required
for
the
quarter
Shore
plan.
We
used
two
nationally
known
consultants
and
to
participate
with
us
in
this
process.
They
were
the
Jonathan
rose
companies
and
Hargreaves
&
Associates
and,
as
I
said,
this
was
to
ensure
the
maps.
Three
initiatives
are
considered
within
a
larger
understanding
of
the
context
of
downtown
and
the
court
of
shore
area.
C
The
findings
represent
a
summary
and
compilation
of
the
comments
that
were
made
by
those
who
were
interviewed.
The
authors
of
this
study
believe
that
consideration
of
each
of
these
items
is
necessary
to
the
overall
success
of
maps
three
projects
and
we
found
no
major
flaws
in
the
quarter.
Shore
study
I'll
start
with
the
first
of
the
three
Maps
three
projects
that
was
considered
and
that's
the
convention
center.
C
The
stakeholders
agreed
that
the
development
of
the
Convention
Center
should
enhance
connections
north
and
south,
rather
than
block
them
or
inhibit
them.
The
street
fronts
on
Reno
and
the
new
Boulevard
in
particular,
should
be
articulated
so
that
they
in
invite
interface
not
only
with
the
convention
center
but
interface
with
both
parks,
the
part
the
myriad
gardens
park
and
the
new
downtown
park.
There
needs
to
be
a
strong
pedestrian
connection
between
the
between
the
parks
and
downtown
and
court
ashore.
The
new
Convention
Center
has
to
have
a
strong
pedestrian
emphasis.
C
Some
expressed
concern
that
the
selected
site
might
create
a
boundary
as
opposed
to
a
way
to
actually
provide
communication
and
pedestrian
access
to
between
the
two
parks.
Some
expressed
concern
that
expressed
the
fact
that,
rather
than
hinder
that
pedestrian
access,
depending
on
how
that
convention
center
is
dying
designed,
it
may
actually
enhance
that
by
creating
inviting
spaces
at
street
level.
That
would
encourage
pedestrian
access
between
the
two.
C
Some
of
the
issues
that
we
recommended
for
further
study.
They
need
to
carefully
consider
the
issues
that
were
on
the
preceding
page.
A
strong
focus
on
north-south
connectivity
and
pedestrian
interface
needs
to
be
made.
The
current
use
of
the
Cox
Convention
Center
is
almost
two
thirds
local
use
that
needs
to
be
considered
in
the
design
of
the
Convention
Center.
Both
residential
and
hotel
development
should
be
considered
as
options
adjacent
to
the
new
Convention
Center.
A
part
of
the
Convention
Center
might
be
considered
/
for
private
public
partnership.
C
Development
programming
that
can
spill
into
the
myriad
gardens
in
downtown
park
should
be
included
in
the
mix
of
uses.
Input
on
programming
should
be
discussed
with
the
maps
three
Convention
Center
subcommittee,
the
new
Boulevard.
Well,
it's
not
actually
a
Maps
3
project
is
obviously
will
have
a
significant
impact
on
both
the
park,
the
convention
center
and
on
the
streetcar.
So
we
considered
the
boulevard
as
well.
C
Stakeholders
are
unified
in
the
opinion
that
the
boulevard
needs
to
be
pradesh.
Rien
friendly,
the
overall
number
of
traffic
land
should
not
exceed
4.
It's
my
understanding
that,
through
dialogue
with
the
city
and
with
odot,
the
boulevard
as
it's
currently
planned,
has
four
traffic
lanes
and
two
parking
lanes,
so
that
objective
appears
to
have
been
met.
A
median
should
be
considered
which
could
be
used
to
enhance
pedestrian
access
and
may
actually
provide
a
place
for
Destry
ins
to
gather
in
between
the
traffic
lanes.
C
While
it's
the
street
could
curve
southward
at
the
site
of
the
Convention
Center.
The
right
of
way
for
the
boulevard
is
some
270
feet.
Six
lanes
of
traffic
won't
tag
that
up
so
there's
a
possibility
that
that
could
curve
southward
and
it
would
actually
provide
a
little
additional
land
for
the
convention
center
and.
C
D
E
D
To
it,
but
if
it
doesn't
provide
for
wide
sidewalks
I
think
we
ought
to
send
it
back,
go
die
because
we're
missing
the
purpose.
If
we
don't
make
the
sidewalks
wide
enough
for
a
pedestrian
to
feel
comfortable
walking
along
a
four-lane
great.
This
movie
traffic
at
50
50
miles
an
hour,
but
well
the
traffic
won't
be
going
more
than
promise.
C
F
D
F
Just
want
to
make
that
point
again,
because
in
the
original
design
there
was
some
talk,
that
it
would
be
a
six
lane
of
traffic
Boulevard
and
it's
not
a
six
lane
of
traffic
Boulevard.
It's
for
active
traffic
lanes
and
two
parking
lanes
for
involved.
So
it's
it's
a
different
concept.
I
think
a
lot
of
people
out
there
think
it's
just
66
lanes
of
traffic
zipping
along
there.
That's
that
was
my
point.
They're.
B
D
C
Like
the
the
recommendation
that
we've
made
and
which
is
actually
as
part
of
this
discussion
has
has
pointed
out,
is
that
ODOT
and
the
city
continue
their
dialogue
so
that
some
of
these
objectives
will
be
so
that
these
objectives
will
be
considered
and
met
within
the
context
of
the
maps
three
projects.
The
next
item
was
the
downtown
park.
There's
general
consensus
that
the
downtown
park
should
serve
as
a
catalyst
for
development,
particularly
east
and
west
of
the
park.
C
An
aggressive
strategy
for
development
of
those
adjacent
blocks
will
require
significant
participation
both
by
the
public
and
the
private
sector,
as
a
large
Park.
If
you
may
remember,
it's
70
acres,
40,
acres
up
or
Park
30
acres
for
the
lower
Park,
that's
the
lower
part
being
south
of
the
new
they
realigned
I-40.
It
will
have
significantly
different
uses.
C
Then
the
myriad
gardens
park
that
needs
to
be
taken
into
consideration
during
the
design,
the
master
plan
for
the
park,
while
myriad
gardens
provides
programming
for
children
and
active
adults,
the
downtown
park
could
augment
those
uses
and
provide
you,
sir
programming
for
young
adults
and
and
other
children.
The
location
of
urban
and
active
uses
near
the
boulevard
is
important
to
draw
people
into
the
downtown
park.
C
G
C
G
G
I've
had
a
number
of
opportunities
in
recent
months
to
talk
to
people
a
people
Hispanics
that
have
that
were
raised
or
grew
up
in
the
down
in
the
area
that
south
of
the
of
the
new
interstate,
yes,
sir,
and
the
more
I
think
about
it.
The
less
I
like
the
idea
of
a
of
a
Bicentennial
Park
approach,
where
you
take
ever
blade
of
grass
out
and
and
build
something
new.
There
are
a
couple
of
features
there:
the
the
old
Riverside,
school
and
and
manuel
perez
park
that
are
very,
very
important
to
the
hispanic
community.
G
I
think
in
terms
of
its
historic
attachment
to
oklahoma
city
I,
recently
talked
to
the
Pat
Finnell
at
latino,
Development
Agency
and
while
they're
looking
for
another
place.
One
of
the
reasons
they're
looking
for
another
place
is
because
they
don't
think
they're
welcome
where
they
are
and
I
think.
If
we
would
try
to
save
that
school,
it's
an
historic
building,
try
to
do
something
with
that
part
with
the
park,
that's
their
the
the
manuel
perez
park.
G
C
C
There's
also,
a
study
that
I
believe
is
undergoing
is
ongoing,
right
now,
by
planning
to
actually
review
and
analyze
the
existing
structures
down
there
to
determine
which
ones
may
have
historico
significance
so
that
they
can
be
earmarked
for
saving
or
repurposing.
But
that
was
a
significant
topic
of
conversation
at
this
last
Park
subcommittee
meeting
well,.
G
I
when
I
talk
to
the
people
there
at
at
the
funeral
development
agency,
it
was
clear
to
me
that
they
felt
like
they
needed
to
leave
there.
They
look
for
other
locations,
they've
shopped
around
two
or
three
places,
but
they
felt
like
they
needed
to
leave
because
they
felt
like
that
was
the
plan
that
they
were
going
to
leave
there
and
and
when
I,
every
time
I
go
by
that
school.
G
Riverside,
school
and
they've
had
to
redirect
the
entrance
to
the
to
the
north
side,
but
if
they're
more
space
could
be
provided
on
the
front
similar
to
what
the
idea
is
to
do
at
unions
to
at
the
santa
fe
station
by
redirecting
the
street
a
little
bit
and
putting
property
onto
the
land
where
the
development
agency
is
where
the
school
is
I,
think
they'd
be
very
comfortable
in
staying
there
and
and-
and
there
are
other
kinds
of
assistance.
I
think
that
we
could
could
be
utilized
to
help
make
sure
that
building
stays
in
place.
G
C
Park
subcommittee
is
very
aware
of
those
kinds
of
concerns
and
the
we
are
actually
in
the
process
right
now
of
selecting
a
consultant
and
architect
/
engineer,
if
you
will
to
develop
a
master
plan
for
the
park
that
would
include
that
lower
park
area,
but,
as
I
said,
the
subcommittee
has
made
that
made
it
known
that
that
is
a
big
concern
of
theirs
as
well.
Well,.
G
G
B
G
House
and
and
I
know,
I
know
they're
interested
the
people
at
thirteen
or
domains
you're
having
a
problem
trying
to
find
a
place
to
locate
they've
looked
a
number
of
different
places
and
if
they
thought
they
had
the
support
of
the
city
and
this
and
this
plan
to
stay
there,
I
suspect
they
might
stay.
There.
I
was
in
a
meeting
recently
at
where
a
number
of
people
were
there,
and
this
topic
was
brought
up
about
a
oh,
maybe
six
weeks
ago,
and
people
literally
were
brought
to
tears.
G
D
You
got
to
remember
that
the
core
ashore,
a
diagram,
was
not
a
plan.
It
was
a
suggestion
and
a
lot
of
the
things
that
were
showing
on
there
were
just
that.
It
was
a
architects
idea
what
it
might
be,
and
it's
not
limited
to
what's
shown
on
that
plans.
I
think
that's
caused
some
confusion.
People
have
given
too
much
weight
to
what
that
plan
shows.
It
was
more
suggestion.
It
was
a
plan
document.
I
think
that's
important.
We
keep
that
in
mind.
We
go
for
it
well,.
G
C
G
H
Thank
You,
councilman
I
think
what
you
see
today
as
you
as
you
look
at
the
sky,
dance
bridge
and
the
connections
as
a
sidewalk.
That's
been
constructed
in
Eddie,
accessible
sidewalk
that
extends
down
to
the
north
side
of
the
bridge,
there's
actually
a
sidewalk
that
will
continue
down
Harvey
to
the
river
right
by
the
park.
That's
under
construction
and
should
be
finished
shortly,
but
ultimately
is
a
part
of
the
park
design.
You
will
see.
Probably
a
trail
they'll
actually
connect
that
bridge
not
next
to
the
street,
but
through
the
park
itself.
I
think.
G
That's
a
constant
attack
it
make
it
like
to
make
it
very
accessible.
I
mean
the
whole
idea
of
having
that
bridge
there.
If
it's
not
very
inviting
Lee
accessible
seems
to
me,
there's
no
there's
no
point
in
postponing
that
aspect
of
the
value
of
that
bridge.
For
ten
years.
We
that's
something
we
could
fix
with
the
with
a
little
asphalt.
It
seems
to
me
the.
H
Interviews
for
the
park
were
just
held
yesterday
and
we're
expecting
that
that
master
plan
to
bill
be
developed
very
shortly.
I'm,
obviously
there's
some
early
goals
to
have
that
open
in
2014
or
portions
thereof,
to
align
it
with
the
new
Boulevard.
But
we
want
to
give
some
some
architectural
liberties
to
that
consultant.
That's
engaged
to
help
us
route
that
and
make
sure
that
it's
compatible
with
the
other
park
uses
all
right.
Your.
I
Honor,
if
I
might
make
a
comment,
you
know
Pete
on
Riverside,
just
an
opportunity,
perhaps
to
encourage
people
to
come
to
that
part,
because,
especially
the
southern
part,
it's
going
to
be
challenged
to
get
people
comfortable
to
come
down
there.
We
could
consider
possibly
turning
that
into
like
an
Oklahoma
City
Museum
to
where
there'd
be
people
coming
in
and
out
all
the
time
just
to
encourage
usage
of
the
southern
portion
of
the
part
I'm
concerned.
I
If
you
put
too
many
trees
too
closely
along
the
side,
it's
actually
a
non
inviting
for
people
to
come
in,
I
mean
they're
just
concerned
about
what's
inside
that
park,
I
think
trees
are
important,
but
let's
provide
enough
spacing
and
then
I
think
we've
got
to
do
something
to
encourage
development
along
Robinson,
avid
who
you
know
the
old
hubcap
alley
area
to
get
people
to
come
back
down
in
that
area.
Who
did
not
grow
up
there
like
Pete
and
I?
I
C
C
There
is
some
support
for
the
fact
that
if
we
build
the
park,
it
will
result
in
development
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that.
A
minute
parking
right
now
is
a
perception
problem
more
than
it
is
a
actual
problem,
and
the
general
consensus
of
the
stakeholders
is
that
the
substation
can
stay
where
it
is
now.
C
Input
on
programming
needs
to
be
discussed
with
the
maps
three
downtown
park
subcommittee
and
a
plan
for
implementing
strategies
to
develop
the
adjacent
block
should
also
be
drafted
or
considered,
and
just
as
a
side
point,
the
Alliance
for
Economic
Development
is
currently
looking
for
a
consultant.
That
would
help
do
exactly
that.
C
C
Recommendations,
the
transit
system
needs
to
be
sized
properly.
A
consultant
should
be
hired
to
study
the
current
route
and
to
assist
in
the
actual
design
of
the
the
streetcar.
That
interviews
for
that
consultant
actually
are
going
to
take
place
at
the
minute
in
the
middle
of
this
month,
so
that
process
is
underway
and
options
for
powering
the
streetcar
without
wires
should
also
be
investigated,
and
I
will
point
out
that
the
next
item
on
the
agenda
is
a
response
from
the
streetcar
subcommittee.
C
C
One
of
the
significant
observations
was
that
the
court
of
sure
plan
itself
did
not
look
at
what
refer
to
as
linkages
or
its
interaction
with
bricktown
midtown
downtown
core.
It
was
a
fairly
self-contained
study
that
needs
to
be
reviewed
and
and
the
Alliance
for
economic
development
is
in
the
process.
As
I
said
of
trying
to
make
that
happen,
we
need
to
build
on
the
successes
that
we
have
with
the
myriad
gardens.
We
need
to
carefully
consider
the
Cox
Convention
Center
site
and
how
it
relates
to
everything.
C
The
redevelopment
of
the
Sheraton
century
center
block
is
something
that
needs
to
be
considered.
The
boulevard
could
be
considered
as
a
way
to
bring
people
into
the
downtown
core
and
into
the
neighborhoods
in
the
near
Westside.
As
currently
designed
and-
and
this
you
have
to
remember,
we
did
this
study
and
completed
the
study
in
December.
We
didn't
have
the
benefit
of
the
current
Boulevard
design,
but
it
needs
to
to
do
everything
that
it
can
to
support
an
excuse.
Development
and
creation
of
neighborhoods,
broadway
and
robinson.
C
In
order
to
best
leverage,
the
public
infrastructure
investments
in
downtown
Oklahoma
City.
It's
we
recommend
that
the
city
look
at
land,
use,
controls,
developer
incentives
and
other
ways
to
try
and
develop
the
area's
councilman
Greenville
person,
specifically
adjacent
to
the
park
and
an
adjacent
to
the
convention
center
as
well.
Those
things
should
be
considered.
C
The
course
or
plan
as
it
sits,
does
provide
a
great
framework
for
growth
for
downtown.
This
is
an
opportunity
to
study
it
in
context
with
other
areas
of
downtown
and
most
critical
is
that
there
is
as
much
overlap
and
coordination
as
possible
in
the
planning
of
each
of
the
maps
three
projects
and
and
as
in
closing
I,
want
to
point
out
that
I
think
we're
well
on
our
way
to
that.
The.
C
We
were
in
the
process,
as
I
said,
of
hiring
someone
to
do
a
master
plan
for
the
park.
There
is
a
consultant
being
process
right
now
underway
for
the
streetcar
and
consultant
for
the
convention.
Center
I
think
will
be
solicited
sometime
in
the
next
few
months,
so
that
there
will
be
an
opportunity
for
those
subcommittees
and
for
those
consultants
to
work
together.
So
we
think
that
that
part
of
the
process
is
well
on
its
way
and
with
that
I'll
ask
if
there's
any
questions
or
comments,
councilman
Shadid,
let.
J
Me
well,
let
me
ask
number
one:
what
was
the
cost
of
this
study?
Twenty
thousand
dollars?
Okay,
let
me
eat
because
you've
gotten
a
lot
of
pushback
on
on
this
study.
I've
listened
to
the
transit
subcommittee
meetings.
I
think
you
had
the
vote
at
the
maps.
Advisory
council
was
523
to
even
accept
this,
that's
correct,
so
he
had
three
people
who
rejected
receiving
it.
I
I
have
concerns
about
the
methodology
of
the
study.
I
have
concerns
about
really
even
calling
it
a
study.
J
There
there
are
ways
that
you
can
take
verbal
statements
and
you
can
make
data
points
out
of
them
and
you
can
and
you
can
try
and
come
to
some
conclusions,
but
you
have
to
ask
the
same
question
to
all
the
interviewees
which
I
took
from
your
responses
that
I
heard
that
that
wasn't
done,
and
then
you
have
to
try
and
quantify
what
is
a
general
consensus
that
throughout
the
report
we
hear
there's
a
general
consensus
about
this.
There's
a
general
concern
about
this.
Is
it?
Is
it
15
out
of
18
people?
J
Is
it
9
12
out
of
18
people
and
trying?
And
let
us
know
you
know
how
much
of
a
consensus
there
is
to
me.
It's
a
survey
or
a
report
of
findings.
Not
it
doesn't
rise
to
the
level
of
a
study
I'm,
so
we've
spent
twenty
thousand
dollars
and
we
interviewed
18
people
over
approximately
36
hours,
many
of
the
people
we
we
already
know
their
opinions.
The
mayor,
Meg
cellier,
Gary,
Mars,
Russell
Klaus
I
mean
we
already
know
those
those
for
you've
got
18
people,
15
male
Caucasians,
three
female
Caucasians.
J
Nobody
that
I
can
see
that
lives
or
represents
the
south
side
of
the
city.
You
have
three
people
from
the
convention
center
subcommittee
for
from
the
park
subcommittee.
None
from
the
transit
subcommittee,
none
from
the
parks
department,
I
mean
it
would
seem
to
fit
just
ask
the
parks
department
what
I
mean
we're
talking
about
a
70-acre
park
and
the
core
of
the
court
or
plan?
What
is
the
parks
department
think
about
this?
J
So
if
we're
talking
about
the
interaction
of
these
different
projects,
transit
convention
center,
but
the
river
on
the
court
is
your
plan
and
it
seems
like
we
would
interview
planners,
but
we
have
to
out
of
the
18
people
have
any
have
any
background,
training
and
planning
I'd
like
to
know
about
that.
The
experience
in
other
cities.
We
have
in
many
ways
a
replication
of
what's
happening
in
discovery,
green
in
Houston.
J
You
have
a
cvd,
a
business
district
and
then
you
have
myriad
gardens,
which
is
like
the
discovery,
green
Houston,
a
very
active
Park,
and
then
you
have
the
convention
center
and
hopefully
our
convention
center
won't
look
as
god-awful
as
the
one
in
Houston.
But
the
question
would
be
what's
happening
on
the
other
side
of
the
Convention
Center
in
Houston,
I
mean
what
what
one
of
the
you
gave
some
voice
to
it,
but
one
of
the
largest.
J
Revulsion
zor
apprehensions
of
so
many
people
is
that
you're
putting
a
convention
center
in
between
two
parks
and
what,
in
any
reference
I
mean
this,
is
a
problem
you're
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
maintain
pedestrian
access
and
all
I
mean
this
is
a
real
problem.
It
is
our
you're
going
to
suffocate
the
downtown
park.
How
are
you
going
to
develop
a
symbiotic
relationship
between
the
two
with
a
large
convention
center
in
between
the
two?
Those
are
those
are
major
issues
and
I.
J
Think
if
it's
we're
going
to
call
it
a
study,
if
we're
going
to
look
at
I
mean
let's
look
at
the
experience
in
other
studies.
Houston
has
some
some
real
commonalities
and
so
more
than
just
in
36
hours
spending
twenty
thousand
dollars
to
interview
eighteen
people,
most
of
whom
we
all
know
their
opinions
already
I
mean,
let's,
let's,
let's
look
at
other
cities
list
it
could
be
experienced
in
other
cities
and
try
and
draw
from
that
I
think
that
what
you
heard
a
lot
of
from
transit,
the
resistant
see
you
heard
from
transit.
J
J
Reallocating
funds
away
from
certain
projects
that
might
not
have
the
the
backing
of
the
bulk
of
the
interviewees
towards
the
convention
center.
For
example,
you
you
go
out
of
your
way
to
say
that
there's
general
concern
that
the
current
budget
for
the
convention
center
will
not
be
sufficient
to
accommodate
both
space
and
design
concerns.
J
J
Seems
seems,
I
understand
how
it
would
seem
suspect
to
some
people
and
when
there's
a
controversy
about
that
sentence,
not
being
there
be
enough
to
justify
the
hundred
and
thirty
million
dollar
expense,
it
wasn't
there
and
then
it
gets
added
in
by
someone
and
we're
not
sure
exactly
how
it
got
added
in
or
wasn't
there.
But
somebody
went
out
of
their
way
to
add
the
words
enough
to
justify
the
130
million
dollar
expense.
J
So
it
feel
I'm
not
sure
what
the
purpose
of
the
study
is
and
and
one
thing
I
understand,
the
concern
and
some
of
the
pushback
you've
gotten
that
this
may
be
laying
the
groundwork
as
a
pivot
and
and
reallocation
in
the
future
on
policy,
because
I
think
you
I
think
to
accomplish
the
things
you're
talking
about
on
the
convention
center
I
think
you
are
going
to
have
budget
shortfalls
and
you're
going
to
have
problems
you.
You
went
out
of
your
way
to
discuss
that.
J
We
haven't
talked
about
maintenance
costs
or
the
streetcar
in
the
park,
but
not
the
other
things,
but
not
the
convention
center
or
other
maps
projects.
I
want
to
make
sure
that
when
you
talk
about
that,
we
want
to
minimize
depression
of
the
boulevard
near
the
santa
fe
near
the
intermodal
hub
that
were
remembering
or
taking
into
consideration
the
findings
of
the
intermodal
hub
study
that
we
may
need
it
to
expand,
that
the
wall
for
a
third
rail
and
what
they
want
is
depression
of
the
boulevard.
And
then
I'm
not
sure.
K
I
respond
to
that
just
a
second
murder,
but
I,
just
I
sit
in
on
every
subcommittee
meeting
for
the
last
year
and
attended,
of
course,
the
advisory
board
itself
for
the
past
year
and
I've
talked
to
many
people
on
all
the
different
committees
in
an
informal
setting
for
the
past
year
and
I.
Never
once
heard
anybody
talk
about
reallocating
money
from
one
project
to
another,
regardless
of
the
project.
K
It
wasn't
ace,
it
wasn't
a
you
need
to
do
this,
absolutely
they
weren't
studying
transit
and
they
weren't
studying
the
convention
center.
Those
comments
just
come
up,
so
I
don't
want
to
I.
Don't
want
to
say
that
that
you
shouldn't
have
the
concerns
you
had
I.
Just
think
that
some
of
those
I
just
didn't
hear
any
of
that
going
on
I
think
that
there
was
a
lot
of
paranoia
to
jumped
up
that
that
they
might
have
been,
but
I
never
heard
it
once
during
any
of
the
year.
That
I
was
on
there
and.
J
Let
me
just
clarify:
I'm
not
saying
that
anybody
has
ever
said.
We
need
to
reallocate
funds
and
I'm
not
saying
that
this
study
says
we
need
to
reallocate
funds.
What
I'm
saying
is
that
some
of
the
reason
for
the
pushback
and
the
concern
about
the
study
is
a
perception
that
this
melee
be
laying
the
groundwork
as
a
pivot
and
policy
in
the
future,
things
that
have
not
been
said
yet,
but
might
be
said
in
the
future.
J
Three
project
that
impacts
the
court.
Is
your
plan
we're
we're
going
in
a
couple
ways.
You
say
that
that
there
were
the
quarter
sure
plan
didn't
explore
enough.
The
connections
you
know
to
to
automobile
alley
in
midtown
in
all
these
different
different
areas.
Well,
that
the
streetcar
is
how
you
connect
those
those
areas.
I
mean
that
is
the
vehicle
to
address
that
shortfall
of
the
quartus
your
plan.
C
Well,
if
I
might
just
two
gangs,
we
did
ask
people
about
transit,
we
asked
them
for
their
views
on
transit
and
some
of
them
chose
not
to
respond
about
transit.
I
will
say
that,
and
you
said
that
you
were
that
your
you
didn't
understand
the
purpose.
What
the
purpose
of
the
study-
and
I
think
is
the
concerns
that
you've
raised
our
issues
that
we
believe
need
to
be
considered
discussed
going
forward
in
the
future.
There
was
no
ulterior
motive.
J
I
I
already
know
I
mean
I
know
where
rick
kane
and
Blair
Humphries
and
Russell
Klaus
and
Kathy
O'connor,
and
the
mayor
and
meg
and
Gary
know
at
the
opinions
of
I
mean
if
that's
all,
this
is
is
just
a
36
hours
of
interviewing
people
that
we
already
know
there
are
opinions
I.
What
do
we
get
for
that?
$20,000.
I
And
also
maybe,
if
Russell,
he
thought
right
now
could
join
us,
we
could
take
a
side
trip
over
to
Capitol
Hill
and
talk
about
the
opportunities
there
or
future
development
and
maybe
I'm
being
serious
about
this
is
maybe
we
could
invite
a
couple
of
people
from
the
private
sector
to
show
online
the
ability
to
be
successful
from
a
restaurant
perspective
about
the
potential
to
you
know.
Consider,
especially
if
we,
for
example,
kept
something
like
the
Riverside
school
open,
putting
in
a
restaurant
there
or
going
across
the
river
into
the
Capitol
Hill
area.
I.
G
A
L
L
L
But
the
reality
is
as
far
as
the
site
he's
concerned,
those
questions
we
feel
have
been
very
adequately
answered
and
we
tried
to
collate
the
information
and
spend
a
great
deal
of
time
doing
so
and
we're
a
little
bit
frustrated
that
a
DG
did
not
include
those
readily
available
answers
to
those
questions
in
their
study.
Apparently,.
J
L
Modest
attempt
was
made
to
contact
our
our
Chairman
to
have
him
as
part
of
the
discussion
part
of
the
study.
No
other
attempt
was
made.
He
could
not.
He
was
not
available
and
Nathaniel
was
actually
here
today.
If
you
need
to
speak
with
him,
but
no
additional
attempt
was
made
to
contact
our
vice
chairman,
Zane,
Boatwright
or
anyone
else
on
the
subcommittee
so
granted
in
subcommittee
meetings.
Many
of
you
attend
them,
we're
very
passionate
as
volunteers.
We're
grateful
for
being
appointed
we're
grateful.
