Yeah
I
was
going
to
agree
that
it
seemed
like
it
was
decking
and
things
that
mostly
come
here.
So
as
it
realized
I
would.
I
would
not
like
for
us
to
eliminate
the
setback,
but
I
think
to
come
up
with
a
compromise
of
something
so
that
they
didn't
have
to
be
coming
to
hear
all
the
time
as
it's
done,
and
it's
obvious
to
us
that
it's
going
to
be
non-standard
right.
A
Always
and
maybe
I
mean
I-
don't
know
that
this.
This
is
an
idea,
might
not
be
a
good
one,
but
it
it's
an
idea.
Just
in
this
situation,
charging
them
the
hard
costs
for
the
advertising.
Instead
of
you
know
the
750,
because
if
they
all,
if
we
don't
do
anything
and
they
all
have
to
come,
I
mean
that's
kind
of
a
financial.
You
know
people
are
going
to
when
they
go.

Seeing

Been
moved
and
seconded
to
approve
the
consent
agenda,
all
in
favor
aye
unopposed
all
right.
We
have
citizen
comments
on
our
regular
agenda
items,
and
this
includes
our
department
performance
objectives.
Our
drainage
assessment
update
bicycle
friendly
communities
plan
the
update
on
the
city's
business
development
plan
action
items,
our
fire
police
and
general
employee
pension
plan
update
are
happening
on
the
harbor
marketing
logo,
our
staff
evaluations
and
the
walkable
urban
communities
project.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
on
any
of
these
items,
if
not,
let's
jump
in
our
fiscal
year,
2016
Department
performance
objectives,
Howard
agh.
E
E
B
I
think
the
the
one
item
was
that
we
had
recommended
that
we
put
together
a
brochure
with
regards
to
vacation
rentals.
What
actually
it
would
be
for
any
home
businesses
but
including
vacation
rentals,
so
that
was
not
incorporated,
so
it
would
be
good.
I
didn't
clue
that
are
there
any
other
additions
subtractions
from
the
objective?
Yes,
Nancy
I.
D
Have
an
overall
comment
and
I
had
a
cup
discussion
with
Howard
about
this.
My
view
of
these
objectives
is
that
they
almost
look
like
job
descriptions
and
in
my
corporate
world
training
objectives
should
be
smart
objectives.
They
should
be
specific,
measurable,
actionable,
relevant
and
timely,
time-bound
and,
and
any
of
these
could
be
turned
into
a
smart
objective,
but
these
and
then
I
read
these
and
I
see
these
as
deemed
appropriate
as
appropriate,
where
appropriate
as
appropriate
as
deemed
appropriate
and
where
necessary,
when
the
opportunity
arises.
I
mean
really
it's
like
that's
just
an
out.
D
B
D
I
think
these
should
be
turned
into
action.
I
think
these
should
be
turned
into
those,
and
my
recommendation
would
be
that
we
should
say
these
that
this
is
a
good
start
and
let's
ask
our
city
manager
to
take
this
back
to
all
the
and
come
back
at
a
future
council
meeting
with
these
as
smart
objectives
and
things
that
we're
we're
really
asking
them
to
it.
We're
saying
we're
going
to
achieve
something
we're
going
to
strive
for
something
and
even
if
we
don't
achieve
it
at
least
we've
tried
and
I
know
in
my
experience.
D
A
E
G
H
Mark
garing
public
works
about
four
or
five
years
ago.
Dep
and
other
agencies
in
the
state
came
up
with
a
plan
where
they
showed
certain
reaches
of
the
Peace
River
to
have
different
kinds
of
pollutants
or
nutrient
loads
that
were
beyond
recommended
levels
and
they
were
going
to
start
mandating
what
each
community
needed
to
do
to
get
their
water
way
back
within
check.
H
We
immediately
saw
that
the
two
bodies
of
water,
the
two
canals
that
they
tested
in
punta
gorda
isles,
were
way
out
of
normal
of
what
we
were
seeing
in
the
others
can
felt
like
it
could
very
well
have
been
somebody
fertilized
just
a
couple
of
days
before
that
particular
sample
was
taken
well,
the
DEP
has
not
yet
instituted
anything.
It's
been
going
back
and
forth
because
it
is
so
controversial.
It
could
be
such
a
cost
to
it.
H
They
do
not
yet
have
a
plan
as
what
they're
going
to
do
to
require
us
to
bring
our
water
bodies
into
clients.
Nor
do
they
have
a
plan
of
how
you
can
get
your
water
body
out
of
compliant
out
of
off
the
list,
so
we
have
been
sampling
working
with
check,
getting
water
samples
of
our
canals
and
just
waiting
to
see
what
they
come
down
with
at
the
state
level.
Am.
H
Measure
the
objective:
well,
there
certainly
is
ways
to
measure
the
water
quality
that
they
found
that
we
were
in
violation
of
on
the
two
canals
there's
a
way
to
measure
that
no
criteria
from
them
right.
They
did
one
sample
one
time
and
that's
not
a
good
statistical
method
for
testing
water,
so
where
we've
done
samples
monthly.
What.
A
H
H
B
A
B
The
amendment
yes
with
the
addition
all
in
favor
aye
any
opposed
I,
one
of
the
things
I
think
that
Tom,
just
as
I,
follow
up
on
that
that
Tom
mentioned
is
that
the
action
items
are
included
in
our
strategic
plan
and
somehow
they
might
be
able
to
be
incorporated.
But
I
appreciate
what
you're
saying
yeah.
H
B
E
H
H
Seeing
that
we
weren't
making
much
headway
not
really
getting
ahead
of
the
problem,
we
started
a
new
program
this
year
that
allows
us
to
use
some
new
technology
to
assess
the
problem
and
try
to
get
a
better
handle
on
it.
The
the
complaints
that
we
get
there's
water
in
my
driveway
there's
water
in
my
swale,
the
sod
is
dead
water
in
the
road,
a
whole
host
of
those.
When
a
complaint
comes
in,
we
never
have
a
really
a
timeline
to
it
to
know.
H
Our
solutions
for
fixing
the
problem.
If
it's
nothing
more
than
a
blocked
pipe
takes
crew
about
a
half
hour,
they
go
out
there
pop
the
by
Pope
and
dig
a
shovel
full
of
soil
out
in
front
of
the
pipe
and
the
water
starts
flowing.
The
more
involved
properties
could
involve
three
or
four
or
five
lots
of
thatched
floor
tom
that
we
have
to
cut
through,
and
it's
roughly
about
fifteen
hundred
dollars
per
lot
to
cut
through
that.
We
talked
a
few
months
ago
about
developing
a
program
where
we
look
at
dethatching.
H
Well,
we've
talked
to
some
landscapers
and
that
really
isn't
an
option
for
us
any
time
this
the
Assad
has
built
up
to
a
level
where
it's
blocking
drainage,
it's
too
late
for
dethatching.
They
recommend
that
if
we
had
a
good,
consistent,
dethatching
program
for
swales
that
are
in
good
shape,
they
wouldn't
get
too
bad
shape,
but
we're
not
going
to
solve
our
problem.
H
Does
the
sod
has
to
be
taken
up
anywhere,
where
we
have
the
problem
that
it's
blocking
drainage,
our
current
workload
right
now
we're
getting
about
50
repairs
per
year
in
some
of
them,
like
I,
said,
could
be
an
hour.
Some
of
them
could
be
three
four
days.
The
same
crews
that
do
these
repairs
are
also
the
guys
that
set
up
for
events
build
things
at
the
parks
whatever.
So
it's
not
a
crew,
that's
dedicated
to
drainage,
one
hundred
percent
of
the
time.
H
The
video
inspection
that
we
employed
is
saving
us
quite
a
bit
of
time.
Generally
in
the
past,
when
we
get
a
drainage
complaint,
we
go
out.
We
make
an
appointment
with
the
homeowner
we
go
out
and
talk
to
them.
Look
at
it.
It
may
have
just
rained
it
may
have
not
rained
in
weeks,
but
it
does
require
a
lot
of
staff
time
to
go
out
and
actually
make
an
appointment
and
talk
to
folks
about
what
we
already
know
is
happening,
but
just
to
appease
them
and
make
them
feel
like
there's
some
concern
there.
H
That
will
do
something
with
it.
We
pull
the
maps,
we
put
them
on
a
list
for
future
action
and
that
future
action
probably
isn't
coming
for
a
lot
of
folks
for
quite
a
while
the
video
inspection
program,
we
actually
put
three
cameras
on
three
different
vehicles
and
traveled
all
the
city
streets
in
one
day
and
logged
110
times
2
miles
of
swales
and
actually
have
a
video
of
them.
For
that
particular
time.
H
There's
a
picture
of
the
camera
not
very
expensive
about
three
hundred
dollars
each
considering
any
time
that
it
saves
us
staff,
nine,
twenty
thirty
dollars
an
hour
that
doesn't
take
long
to
pay
for
a
camera.
When
we
go
out
and
video
it,
we
end
up
with
a
video
something
like
Google,
Street
View,
where
we
actually
see
where
we've
gone.
We
can
see
the
picture
of
the
house
as
we
drive
by
and
anywhere
we
click
on
the
map.
We
actually
see
that
photo
for
that
day
of
that
position.
H
H
Unfortunately,
with
our
summer
rains
every
day,
two
days
three
days,
we
often
do
not
get
a
period
where
we've
had
no
rain
for
72
hours.
So
therefore,
people
swales
stay
wet
weeks,
summers
whatever
it
might
be,
and
it
still
meets
our
policy
of
72
hours
if
the
water
is
flowing
and
moving
72
hours,
the
mosquito
larvae
will
be
washed
down
the
drain,
but
so
our
policy
is
72
hours,
no
rain,
that
the
water
be
dissipated.
H
H
It
could
you
know
drizzle
here
a
drizzle
there
or
something
kind
of
throws
our
survey
off
kilter,
because
we
want
it
to
be
a
good,
hard
rain
across
the
city
for
a
couple
days
and
then
go
out
on
the
third
day
with
no
rain
and
video
it
here's
some
of
the
kind
of
pictures
we
got.
You
can
see
the
lower
left
corner
there,
there's
actually
a
swale
where
the
grass
has
died
from
water
sitting
there
too
long
water
along
the
road
there
in
the
cul-de-sac
and
the
top
right
corner
has
a
picture
of
a
sway.
H
H
We
went
through
the
entire
survey,
except
for
the
the
central
part
of
Punta
Gorda.
We
haven't
done
macgregor
lemon
those
streets
and
we
haven't
done
over
by
Boca
Grande
and
that
area.
Yet
we
video
done,
but
we
have
not
yet
gone
through
the
videos
and
logged
all
of
them
we're
still
working
on
that.
But
here's
what
we
came
up
with
for
problems.
We
have
broken
down
to
be
sipg
I
in
bsm
swale
driveways
are
we
talked
about
whether
or
not
we
wanted
swale
driveways
here
in
the
city.
H
We
actually
counted
how
many
swelled
driveways
we
have,
and
we
got
almost
3000
here
in
the
city,
swale
driveways,
so
an
effort
to
replace
those
real,
quick,
just
isn't
going
to
happen
there
here
and
there
they're
really
not
going
anywhere
anytime
soon.
What
we
did
find,
though,
that
we
have
fifteen
hundred
and
thirty
five
of
those
whales
have
a
muddy
residue.
H
That's
dried
up,
rusty,
dirty
that
folks
do
not
like,
probably
for
two
days
they
had
to
walk
across
water
around
water
to
get
to
their
mailbox,
but
on
the
date
we
actually
surveyed,
those
1535
were
dried
up
on
that
third
day.
Only
a
hundred
and
ten
of
them
actually
had
water
in
their
driveway.
On
that.
Third
day
done
to
the
sod
issue,
we
had
142
where
it
looks
like
they
couldn't
mow.
H
It's
real
close
to
meeting,
not
meeting
our
level
of
service,
but
we
only
actually
saw
76
with
standing
water
on
the
day
of
our
survey,
so
take
the
76
and
110.
We've
really
got
about
a
hundred
and
eighty
six
cases
where
they
do
not
meet
our
stated
level
of
service,
but
we
do
have
almost
1,900
folks
that
are
probably
not
happy
with
their
drainage.
H
We
wanted
to
bring
this
to
you,
make
you
aware
of
that,
because
we
could
have
potential
of
a
lot
of
folks
that
for
years,
they've
been
put
on
a
list,
but
for
years,
they're
not
getting
any
results.
So
this
is
our
attempt
to
quantify
it
and
make
reaffirm
our
the
direction
that
we're
heading
I'll
be
glad
to
answer
any
question.
H
It
depends
how
big
it
is,
how
some
of
our
worst
problems
might
have
very
quick
fixes.
We
did
one
on
Macedonia
a
couple
weeks
ago.
It
took
just
hour
and
a
half
two
hours
to
fix
just
open
up
one
fight
that
had
been
blocked,
but
others
could
be
the
whole
section.
Six,
seven
eight
houses
to
get
the
one
that's
worse
to
drain
so
that
they
all
vary
are.
H
We
have
not
had
any
recent
request
for
a
swale,
driveway,
they're
kind
of
out
of
style,
the
level
of
houses
that
they're
building
their
they're
generally
putting
in.
We
talked
about
requiring
it.
We
went
talked
to
the
design
board
or
someone
like
that.
I
went
and
spoke
to,
and-
and
they
had
no
objections
to
it-
probably
on
our
list
to
make
that
a
code
requirement
that
they
put
in
a
piper
culvert
of
some
sorts.
I
Just
have
a
question:
have
you
looked
at
the
east
side
at
all?
I
know
they
don't
have
a
lot
of
you
know
drainage
or
culverts,
and
that
type
of
thing
but
I
know
they
do
have
drainage
problems
over
there
and
I've
asked
them
if
they've
called
and
complained
went
because
they'll,
sometimes
some
of
the
yards
will
have
water.
H
The
east
side
at
the
north
end
mary
street
mark
MLK.
Those
streets
have
a
very
nice
drainage,
Testament
and
it
was
improved
with
a
recent
downtown
flooding.
But
when
you
get
south
of
Carmelita,
that's
part
of
our
project
area,
that's
coming
up.
We
did
video
it
we're
going
through
it
to
use
that
and
we
have
a
project
coming
up
this
year.
For
that
triangle
they
are
bounded
by
Carmelita,
Taylor
Cooper
and
the
railroad
tracks.
Okay,
thank.
B
D
Question
about
the
deep
thatching
did
the
expert
that
you've
talked
to
have
any
recommendation.
That
would
give
us
a
thoughts
on
how
we
might
expect
that
a
homeowner
once
we
have
spent
the
funds
to
replace
the
sadri
grade
and
and
correct
the
problem
that
then
they
might
have
an
annual
detaching
or
whatever
that
process
might
be.
That
could
keep
a
level
of
service
in
their
yard
up,
because
I
know
in
some
cases
where
you've
actually
looked
at
it.
D
It's
10
lots
to
get
to
the
drain
and
that's
going
to
be
a
lot
and
when
I
look
at
some
of
the
people
that
are
complaining.
Are
there
lot.
It
has
a
lot
of
that
yet
and
so
they're
expecting
us
to
fix
it
when,
in
fact,
you
know
it
really
is
a
cultural
thing,
and
if
we
started
to
to
educate
the
homeowner
about
what
they
needed
to
do
to
maintain
their
swale,
it
might
help
reduce
the
overall
problem
and.
C
B
D
It's
the
person
down
the
street,
so
you
go
down
the
street
and
you
try
to
tell
them.
You
know
you're
causing
a
problem.
Now
you
get
into
a
discussion,
and
so
it
becomes
this
culture
I've
been
struggling
with.
How
do
we
come
up
with
a
culture
that
you
know
some
kind
of
a
plan
that
helps
us
address
this
long
term.
A
D
Our
responses,
I'm
with
you,
Kim
I've,
been
struggling
with
as
a
master
gardener
I'm.
Looking
at
this
and
and
I'm
seeing
you
know,
I
I
know
what
the
problem
is,
and
but
we
are
the
ones
who
have
caused
by
shouldn't
say
caused.
We
are
the
ones
who
have
taken
on
that
responsibility
to
address
the
problem
by
just
having
a
program
where
we
just
go
out
and
fix
it
and
people
say
it,
and
so
we've
been
the
ones
who've
been
fixing
it.
So
now
it's
it's.
How
do
we
transition
that
that
thinking,
but
the
responsibility.
B
Well,
I
think
we're
talking
about
a
couple
of
things.
One
is
that,
as
you
said,
the
culprit
may
not
be
that
owner,
correct,
so
I
mean
so
you're
saying
to
them
take
care
of
the
problem,
but
it's
three
or
four
Lots
you
know
to
their
east
or
west.
The
other
thing
is
the
not
only
the
thatching
but
the
well
I
lost
it.
Whatever,
yes,
Howard
now,.
E
D
You
I,
you
know,
I,
think
that
we
need
to
discuss.
How
might
we
go
about
this
as
I
get
these
emails
and
I
and
I
I
understand
what
the
problem
is.
I've
actually
had
conversation
with
residents
and
said.
Let
me
tell
you
what
the
problem
is
and
I've
actually
had.
Somebody
who
said
well,
my
stuff
isn't
dreaming
and
the
drain
wasn't
very
far
away
and
it
was
in
their
own
yard,
and
I
said
if
you
would
detach
your
own
yard
this
would
drain
into
that
drain.
But
so
I
understand
the
issue.
It's
it's.
D
We
have
a
we've
created
a
program
that
is
it's
a
very
nice
program
and
if
we
want
to
continue
a
program
like
this,
it's
going
to
cost
us.
If
we
were
to
go
out
and
take
care
of
every
right
now
take
care
of
every
yard
possible
that
marks
identified.
It
would
cost
us
two
point:
eight
five
million
dollars
to
fix,
and
that's
that's
a
big
number
very
big.
D
It's
it's
almost
300,000
just
to
take
care
of
the
bad,
the
really
bad
ones
so,
and
we're
using
a
valorem
tax
dollars
to
do
that.
So
it's
a
matter
of
if
this
is
a
service
that
the
residents
want
and
they
want
a
service
like
this.
Then
residents
have
to
understand
that
there's
a
cost,
and
otherwise
there
is
something
that
residents
can
do
to
take
this
ownership
other
response
of
themselves
and
avoid
us
having
to
do
it.
Okay,.
B
So
what
up
again
what
I'm
hearing
is
so
far
is
having
the
homeowner
take
care
of
their
thatching
problems
as
they
can.
One
of
the
other
issues
is
that
culverts
do
eliminate
the
problem.
So
perhaps
we
might
consider
any
time
that
someone
is
redoing
a
driveway
or
something
like
that
part
of
our
code
would
be
you
put
in
a
culvert,
I
mean
I,
don't
think
it
can
ask
people
to
put
one
in
or
if
they
keep
saying
they
have
the
problem,
and
we
can
suggest
well.
I
I
E
B
E
Other
communities
when
I
say
other
many
other
communities
in
Florida
have
established
was
coldly
stormwater
utility
fee.
We
brought
that
up
about
when
we
talked
about
this
issue
about
seven
or
eight
years
ago,
mm-hmm
and
it
went
over
as
well
as
charging
people
for
boat
trailer
parking
went
over
like
a
lead,
balloon
mm-hmm.
E
E
B
I
D
D
Much
time
it
takes
me
personally
and
I
know
how
I
can
totally
respect
the
amount
of
time
it
takes
mark
and
the
public
works
team
to
address
these
issues
and
I
can
understand
the
frustration
of
the
residents
as
well.
I
have
seen
coldest
exit
that
water
is
just
standing
for.
You
know
weeks,
because
the
water
can't
go
anywhere
but
Carolyn.
A
H
G
B
One
of
the
things
that
we
also
need
to
be
concerned
about
when
people
want
to
put
in
a
culvert,
then
they
come
through
for
a
variance
variance
of
permission.
Permit
whatever
and
now
they're
told
that
their
driveway
is
too
wide.
It
was
their
original
driveway,
and
now
we
have
restrictions
on
the
width
of
the
driveway
I
think
there
needs
to
be
an
accommodation
for
those
people
whose
current
driveways
or
whatever
size
they
are
that
they
can
then
put
the
coverts
in
them.
I
know
we
hit
that
as
an
issue.
You
know.
I
Mean
if
we
want
to,
we
could
try
letting
the
homeowners
take
care
of
it,
thatch
and
all
of
that
kind
of
stuff,
and
if
we
keep
getting
the
problem
and
people
really
want
to
solve
it
or
if
they
come
and
say
we
want
you
to
offer
that
service.
We
want
this
storm
water
management.
You
know
drainage
fee,
then
leave
it
to
them.
G
D
Ad,
though
the
carpet
changing
a
driveway
from
a
swale
driveway
to
a
culvert
is
going
to
change
that
homeowners
situation.
It's
not
going
to
change
the
problem
in
cul-de-sacs
where
the
water
is
backed
up.
It's
only
going
to
make
it
livable
for
the
people
who
have
a
particular
home.
So
it's
they're,
two
different
issues
and
you.
B
D
Know
this
is
the
same,
its
patience,
its
the
same
problem.
It
is
like
what
we
do
in
some
cases
we
have
to
trash
pickups
a
week.
That's
a
nice
thing.
It
costs
our
residents
they're
willing
to
pay.
It's
again
is
this
something?
Maybe
it's
a
Howard
ask
the
community
kind
of
thing
for
are
you?
Are
you
willing
to
pay
more
to
have
us
remedy
these
situations
when
there
are
ways
that
you
yourself
can?
Can
they
didn't.
D
G
I
A
B
D
C
J
B
And
we
will
now
move
on
to
our
bicycle
friendly
communities
plan
with
team
final
boarding
city
staff
before
they
begin
I
did
forward
to
our
council
members
a
couple
of
video
links
that
Mitchell
Austin
had
provided
with
regards
to
presentations
or
speakers
regard
to
bicycle
friendly
walkable
communities,
and
if
you
had
a
chance
to
watch
them,
I
think
that
this
will
fit
right
in
Nancy.
That's.
K
Great
and
I'm
my
eager
to
hear
the
results
of
the
conference,
the
walkable
communities
conference
I
think
it's
very
very
nicely
linked.
I'm
nancy
Johnson
CEO
of
team
punta
gorda,
and
we
want
to
present
to
you
today
a
guide
for
applying
to
the
League
of
American
Bicyclists
bicycle
friendly
communities
program
in
your
council.
Packets
was
the
full
plan
which
is
too
long
to
present
this
morning.
We
will
just
review
the
highlights
in
this
presentation
and
take
your
questions.
K
What
is
a
bicycle
friendly
community?
Well,
you
know
this
is
a
beautiful
community
where
people
love
to
walk
and
ride
their
bikes,
and
it's
certainly
an
attraction
for
people
moving
into
the
community
to
know
that
they
can
ride
safely
and
have
many
opportunities.
The
League
of
American
Bicyclists
program
provides
a
roadmap
for
developing
such
a
community,
and
we've
made
many
strides.
K
It's
based
on
five
years,
which
will
review
with
you
and
it's
about
building
a
bicycle
cultures
where
citizens
from
eight
to
eighty
can
have
safe
places
to
ride
their
bikes
or
two
for
recreation
or
transportation.
There
are
only
16,
Laura
bicycle
friendly
communities
already
I
just
learned
that
our
neighbors
to
the
north
venice.
I
have
a
silver
designation
not
to
make
you
jealous
or
anything,
but
just
throw
that
out.
There
we've
been
working
at
this
for
quite
a
while,
together
the
city
and
team
punta
gorda
and
others
in
2011.
K
The
city
made
its
initial
application
to
the
League
of
American
Bicyclists
and
received
honorable
mention.
This
was
a
very
labor-intensive
process
for
urban
design
and
so
in
2013,
when
the
city
appointed
a
bicycle
and
pedestrian
coordinator.
Mr.
Austin
team
punta
gorda
responded
by
forming
a
bicycle
friendly
communities
committee
to
support
the
work.
K
This
is
a
highly
collaborative
effort.
Team
Punta
Gorda
is
the
convener,
but
almost
everybody
who's.
Anybody
in
the
world
of
cycling
comes
to
these
meetings
and
participates
the
police
department,
Fire
Department,
the
school
district,
the
Health
Department,
the
writers
clubs.
It's
a
very
large,
active
and
highly
participative
committee,
so
this
process
is
based
on
the
5
e's.
We
believe
this
can
only
be
achieved
through
shared
leadership.
There
are
90
questions
to
this
application.
Many
of
them
are
essay
questions
and
many
of
them
provide
suggestions
for
what
we
might
do.
K
So
we
propose
that
we
share
the
load.
Engineering
will
have
to
be
City,
Punta
Gorda,
we'll
have
to
agree
to
be
the
lead.
Obviously,
citizens,
don't
don't
do
highways
and
don't
do
bike
paths.
Cities
do
that
not
citizens.
The
enforcement
portion
of
it
will
be
well
covered
by
the
Punta
Gorda
police
department.
That
already
is
way
ahead
in
many
of
these
areas
and
we'll
hear
from
them
education,
which
is
will
be
shared
by
timber
no
gorda
and
the
Porta
gorda
Police
Department
will
work
together
on
public
education,
evaluation
and
planning.
K
All
the
partners
will
have
to
work
together.
It
will
take
all
of
us
contributing
each
our
parts
to
take
care
of
that
part
encouragement,
which
is
what
you
know
about
in
Punta,
Gorda
pedal
and
play
wheels
and
wings
all
the
bicycle
loaner
program,
all
the
things
that
we
already
do.
Team
Punta
Gorda
will
be
the
lead.
I'll
now
turn
the
podium
over
to
Mitchell
Austin.
Who
will
walk
you
through
engineering.
L
Thank
You
Nancy
for
the
record
Mitchell
Austin
urban
design
engineering
is
literally
where
the
rubber
meets
the
road
on
this.
In
order
for
the
city
to
be
a
bicycle
friendly
community,
we
really
need
to
get
the
infrastructure
right
in
order
to
make
bicycling
safe
and
convenient
not
only
for
the
bicyclists
but
for
all
roadway
users,
but
as
trans
motorists
alike.
L
Our
community
has
accomplished
a
lot
in
this
area.
Already
back
in
2007,
we
adopted
an
alternative
transportation
plan
which
gave
us
good
Pat
a
good
guide
for
bicycle
facilities
and
sidewalk
network
out
of
this
plan,
with
a
lot
of
community
desire
and
political
will,
we've
accomplished
great
things
with
our
park
or
pathways
system.
The
system
of
multi-use
recreational
trails
provides
a
solid
foundation
upon
which
to
build
the
bicycle
friendly
community,
while
the
punta
gorda
pathways
are
a
good,
solid
foundation.
They
are
capital
intensive
and
do
take
a
long
time
to
implement.
L
So
what
are
these
bicycle
infrastructure
best
practices?
Well,
the
city
has
had
a
great
deal
of
success
with
our
Punta
Gorda
pathway
system,
which
is
a
network
of
multi-use
paths.
The
system
is
great
as
it
is
now,
but
it
is
only
partially
complete
and
we
should
continue
to
work
towards
the
completion
of
that
envision
system.
However,
it
must
be
emphasized
that
the
pathways
themselves
are
capital
intensive
to
build
and
to
maintain.
L
Fortunately,
there
are
a
lot
of
bicycle
infrastructure
types
that
are
quite
cost
effective.
The
first
example
of
this
is
a
bicycle.
Boulevard
now
bicycle
Boulevard
takes
an
existing
roadway
that
is
low,
speed
and
low
traffic
volume
and
designates
it
as
a
preferred
bicycle
route
through
signage
and
shara
lane
markings.
Some
street
conditions
may
also
require
traffic
calming
techniques
to
enhance
the
safety
and
attractiveness
of
those
roadways
to
the
bicycling
public.
A
local
example
of
this
sample
project
would
be
Coronado
and
aqui
esta
in
the
punta
gorda
isles.
L
L
However,
unlike
the
more
expensive
multi-use
paths,
the
separated
bicycle
lanes
use
the
same
roadway
surface,
as
was
previously
reserved
for
Motor
Vehicles.
A
local
example
of
this
would
be
Elizabeth
Street
Elizabeth
Street
is
one
of
many
north-south
roadways
that
connect
businesses
and
residents
on
the
east
side
of
us
41
on
key
segments
of
this
roadway.
There
are
no
existing
driveway
connections
and
the
network
of
streets
provides
good
motor
vehicle
access
to
all
the
private
properties.
L
Finally,
I
want
to
talk
about
bicycle
lanes.
This
is
a
lane
of
traffic
that
is
reserved
for
bicycles,
the
Florida
Department
of
Transportation
recently
reallocated
some
roadways
space
on
the
US
41
bridges
for
bicycle
lanes.
An
example
project
of
that
for
us
in
the
city
that
we
could
implement
is
Nesbitt
Street.
This
section
of
roadway
is
approximately
one
third
of
a
mile
in
length,
and
currently
the
asphalt
with
is
36
feet
for
only
two
vehicular
travel
lanes.
So
it's
quite
wide.
L
With
a
little
bit
of
signage
and
some
roadway
markings
and
modification
to
the
traffic
signals
to
better
to
detect
people
riding
bicycles,
we
could
produce
two-thirds
of
a
mile
of
bicycle
lanes
for
only
30,000
hours.
So
again,
a
very
cost-effective
project
with
that
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
our
interim
police
chief
lewis
to
discuss
the
enforcement
component
of
being
a
bicycle
for
me
community.
She
flew.
J
Interim
police
chief
tom
lewis,
for
the
record,
we
are
very
fortunate
in
this
community
that
we
have
a
very
low
number
of
bicycle,
related
injuries
or
bicycle-related
traffic
crashes.
So
what
you'll
see
in
the
in
the
next
coming
slides
is
typically,
our
enforcement
is
always
paired
with
either
education
or
some
type
of
community
involvement
to
get
by
in
some
of
the
accomplishments.
To
date,
you
can
see
on
our
website.
We
have
posted
our
traffic
safety
and
enforcement
plan
has
a
number
of
different
bicycle
safety
related
resources,
as
well
as
some
statistics.
J
We
do
occasionally
write
some
tickets,
but
that's
not
very
common
from
the
enforcement.
We
obviously
have
our
pointer
police
mount
bike
patrol
five
members,
currently
we're
looking
to
expand
that
you
may
have
seen
a
three-foot
rule
stickers
on
the
back
of
our
patrol
cars,
which
is
now
going
to
all
city
vehicles.
We
also
do
bait
bike
operations.
Typically,
we
have
a
number
of
stone,
V
or
stolen
bicycles
in
the
city
each
year.
J
So,
in
response
to
that,
we
will
have
some
targeted
locations
to
stop
that
and
again
bicycle
rodeos
for
our
children
and,
of
course,
our
active
public
media
campaign
moving
forward
from
those
accomplishments
you
can
see.
This
is
morally
what
they
call
a
beep
model.
More
of
a
holistic
approach
includes
education,
which
also
includes
training
for
police
officers,
on
the
different
design
options
that
the
city
may
take
changes
in
bicycle
laws
that
may
change
I
mentioned
officer
training
we
get
about
an
hour
to
two
hours
annually.
J
J
Some
examples
of
how
we
connect
with
our
youth,
we
obviously
have
our
interactive
trailer,
would
play
a
lot
of
bicycle
safety,
videos
at
our
schools
and,
of
course,
our
bike,
rodeo
equipment-
and
we
wanted
to
put
this
in
here.
Other
public
safety
successes
as
it
relates
to
bicycles,
is
our
Punta
Gorda
fire
department,
medic
program,
what
an
awesome
thing
where
we
can
pair
a
police
officer
and
a
firefighter
paramedic
on
a
bicycle
at
very
large
events
and
bring
those
services
to
you
quickly
and
with
that
I
will
turn
it
back
over
to
nancy
Johnson.
K
Thank
You
chief
lewis,
we're
we're
proud
to
have
a
close
working
relationship
with
the
pgp
day.
They
already
do
a
lot
of
the
things
that
are
in
the
application,
so
they're
ahead
of
the
curve
public
education
is
very
important.
Our
goal
is
to
develop
a
broad-based
public
education
campaign
for
the
community
and
we've
begun
it
already,
and
it's
called
share
the
lane
you're
going
to
hear
a
lot
more
from
share
the
lane.
K
K
Also
include
bicycle
safety,
education,
information
for
all
different
levels
of
riders,
the
t-shirt
that
represents
it
is
called
I'm
a
spokesperson.
We
have
a
representative
in
the
audience
wearing
one.
Mr.
Armstrong
would
stand
up
for
a
second
there,
the
our
model
we
have.
We
brought
a
model
today,
very
good,
thank
you
Bob,
and
we
have
already
conducted
a
traditional
media
campaign,
but
this
year
we're
going
to
take
it
out.
You'll,
be,
as
I
said,
the
website
will
launch
very
shortly,
certainly
by
the
end
of
the
year.
K
It's
almost
done
and
our
media
campaign
this
year
will
be
multi
strategy.
You'll
start
to
see,
share
the
lane,
educational
materials,
public
service
announcements,
he
resources
on
the
website
with
links
and
special
events
such
as
bicycle
safety
month
and
we'll
use
social
media
to
reach
all
audiences.
But
this
is
really
the
heart
of
it
is
the
training
we
plan
to
fund
and
deliver
bicycle
safety
training
to
a
very
diverse
group
of
target
audiences
in
the
city.
It's
important
that
we
not
only
train
cyclists
but
that
we
train
drivers
how
to
behave
around
cyclists.
K
You
know
this
is
Punta.
Gorda,
Florida
and
people
come
here
from
all
over
the
country
with
different
ideas
about
how
to
behave
on
the
roads,
and
we
need
to
make
sure
that
people
understand
how
to
behave
in
this
town,
both
motorists
and
cyclists
and
pedestrians,
and
we'll
also
use
existing
youth
serving
organizations
to
deliver
the
same
messages
to
young
people.
But
this
is
our
plan
for
the
year.
L
Subject
now
near
and
dear
to
my
heart,
in
order
to
become
a
bicycle
friendly
community,
we
really
need
to
do
a
good
job
of
evaluation
and
planning.
Our
goal
here
should
be
to
develop
a
comprehensive
bicycle
master
plan
that
includes
the
efforts
of
all
of
our
partners,
both
in
the
public
sector
and
the
private
and
nonprofit
sectors.
L
To
date,
our
community
has
accomplished
a
lot
of
things
that
we
can
be
very
proud
of
from
our
existing
collaboration
with
team
Punta
Gorda
to
our
Complete
Streets
policy
and
our
ongoing
data
collection
efforts.
The
city
has
solid
planning
and
evaluation
tools
already
in
place
moving
forward.
We
need
to
build
on
those
accomplishments
by
updating
the
2030
alternative
transportation
plan
into
a
true
bicycle
and
pedestrian
master
plan
with
cost
affordable
capital
improvements
program.
L
Additionally,
the
city,
along
with
its
partners,
needs
to
produce
an
annual
report
card
which
will
serve
as
document
to
pro,
to
document
our
progress
and
address
changing
conditions
as
they
occur
in
the
timely
manner.
Now,
I
want
to
turn
it
over
to
mr.
Jerry
Fallon
to
discuss
the
encouragement
component
of
being
a
bicycle
friendly
community.
M
Good
morning,
madam
mayor,
ladies
and
gentlemen,
I'm
gerry
fallon
team,
putas,
gorda
encouragement
is
the
50
in
the
league's
template
of
becoming
a
bicycle
friendly
community
by
providing
lots
of
opportunities
and
support
for
safe
bicycling
as
recreation
and
transportation.
This
will
encourage
and
help
foster
a
culture,
so
citizens
will
be
more
inclined
to
use
their
bikes
with
our
gorgeous
scenery
and
climate
in
punta
gorda.
Encouraging
people
to
ride
their
bikes
is
about
the
easiest
job
in
the
planet.
M
So
by
strengthening
our
bike
culture,
our
citizens
will
be
more
encouraged
to
hop
on
their
bikes
to
make
a
run
to
the
post
office
out
of
the
bank.
This
is
a
friend
attend
a
meeting
or
meet
somebody
for
lunch.
A
strong
bike
culture
will
allow
parents
of
our
children
to
feel
good
about
sending
their
kids
off
to
school
and
their
bikes.
M
Viking
already
has
a
strong
presence
in
Punta
Gorda
sculture
we've
hosted
several
major
events,
there's
a
lifted
list
of
them.
Their
team
Pune,
gordas
pedalin
play,
which
attracted
635
writers
last
year,
continues
to
be
the
city's
premier,
cycling
event,
peace,
river
riders,
signature
event,
wheels
and
wings
at
336
riders
last
year
in
July,
their
hamster
wheel
was
scheduled
again
for
January
and,
of
course,
the
free
loaner
bicycle
program
had
five
thousand
users.
Last
year,
the
yellow
bikes
have
a
renewed
fleet
this
year
with
20
new
bikes,
the
soon
to
be
installed.
M
We
certainly
realize
how
what
do
we
are
live
in
this
community?
It's
a
community
that
has
voted
to
improve
infrastructure.
We
believe
investing
in
infrastructure
is
a
wise
use
of
our
tax
dollars,
and
you
have
certainly
delivered
long
and
impressive
list
of
accomplishments.
Thank
you.
Today.
You
can
place
another
solid
block
in
the
foundation
of
Protagoras
future.
M
By
supporting
this
proposal
and
pursue
the
League
of
bicycle,
the
league's
bicycle
friendly
community
status,
adopting
a
bicycle
master
plan,
will
not
only
put
us
in
good
standing
with
the
League
of
American
Bicyclists,
but
will
also
be
used
by
future
city
councils
for
their
Complete
Streets
initiatives,
but,
most
importantly,
when
applied
will
enhance
Protagoras,
livability
and
quality
of
life
by
increasing
mobility
for
citizens
of
all
ages
and
abilities.
We
ask
that
you
allocate
resources
annually
for
bicycle
infrastructure
and
aggressively
fund
its
implementation.
M
A
E
N
Courtney
doorbell
and
we're
a
bunch
of
hats
so
for
this
offbeat
Peace,
River
writers,
I'm,
the
hamster
wheel
is
attempt
by
the
peaceful
riders
to
bring
in
something
called
ultra
cycling.
These
are
people
who
push
themselves
beyond
any
level
of
performance
that
you
can
imagine.
Last
year
we
had
71
people
who
showed
up
to
try
to
ride
200
miles.
In
one
day
we
had
five
gentlemen
at
one
woman
who
managed
to
do
200
miles.
Wow.
N
Forget
what
the
exact
numbers
were,
but
we
had
probably
15
or
so
that
managed
to
do
a
hundred
miles
and
we
had
a
bunch
of
relatively
new
riders
who
came
out
to
try
to
do
62,
which
is
in
the
bicycle
world
as
a
metric
century,
and
so
this
year
we're
looking
to
bring
in
about
a
hundred
and
forty
people
who
are
going
to
take
an
attempt
at
200
miles.
And
you
have
no
idea
what
that's
like.
I'm
and
I've
done
the
century
numerous
times.
And
you
get
out
a
hundred
miles.
N
B
You,
sir,
we
have
accomplished
so
much,
you
know
in
terms
of
being
walkable
bicycle-friendly
already,
and
obviously
this
would
take
us
a
lot
further.
But
what
would
the
actual
designation
I
mean?
We
could
do
all
of
the
things
that
you're
asking,
but
why
would
we
have
to
apply
to
the
League
of
American
Bicyclists?
We.
K
You
know
it's
a
it's
an
honor
that
we
would
seek,
but
if
the
only
outcome
of
this
plan
is
that
we
have
a
fabulously
bicycle
friendly
community
for
our
citizens
and
we've
won
so
I
think
that
they,
the
goals,
are
parallel
they're,
giving
us
a
map
how
to
do
it
and
the
things
that
they're
telling
us
to
do
our
good
things,
they're
good
for
us,
so
I
think
it's
a
win-win
situation,
even
if
we
don't
achieve
it.
Okay,.
I
I
We
need
to
have
that
separate
lane,
a
lot
of
people
ride
on
the
pathways
and
the
sidewalks,
but
people
are
walking
there
also,
and
so,
when
you
get
the
real
bicycle
errs
a
cyclist
that
are
going
faster,
it's
better
for
them
to
be
on
the
road
and
because
otherwise
they
have
to
just
be
slow
moseying
along
on
the
pathways
and
with
our
older
residents.
They
don't
necessarily
know
they're
walking
there
biking,
they
don't
know
the
rules
which
side
of
the
sidewalk
should
I
be
on,
so
I
would
really
like.
