Description
The KCMO Sidewalk Program team shares information and progress updates on the status of sidewalks in Kansas City, facilitates a discussion and Q&A with residents, and talks through next steps with the program.
A
B
B
We
have
the
project
team,
our
sidewalk
program
manager,
several
folks
to
talk
about
the
progress
that
we've
made
so
far
on
sidewalks,
as
well
as
discuss
some
interesting
pilot
projects
that
we
have
underway,
and
then,
of
course
you
know
what's
up
next
for
the
sidewalk
program,
so
we're
very
excited
to
be
here
this
evening.
We
are
recording
this
meeting.
B
So
please
do
keep
keep
that
in
mind
and
we
will
be
sure
to
post
this
meeting
on
our
website
after
the
meeting
likely
sometime
tomorrow,
so
very
excited
that
you're
here
tonight,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
officially
start
our
slides
here
so
tonight,
again,
we're
joined
by
uday
monopoly
he's
my
colleague
in
public
works
and
our
sidewalk
program
manager,
kind
of
leading
the
charge
on
sidewalks
in
kansas
city.
Again
myself,
maggie
green.
B
We
have
mr
john
zimmerman
and
matt
kenny
that
are
from
tran
systems
and
are
there
on
the
project
team
as
well,
and
then
we
have
therese
pendleton
from
virio
who's,
helping
with
the
communication
side
of
things
and
engaging
in
the
chat
as
well,
and
so
we
are
glad
to
hear
to
have
this
conversation.
We
do
have
several
slides
that
we'll
run
through,
but
of
course,
if
you
have
any
questions
at
any
point,
please
feel
free
to
raise
your
hand,
use
the
chat.
B
We'll
leave
plenty
of
time
at
the
end,
for
a
discussion
as
well.
So
before
I
handed
over
the
project
team
just
want
to
cover
a
couple
of
housekeeping
items
about
the
meeting.
I
I
was
remembering
that
this
week
I
think,
we're
in
year
two
of
being
in
the
pandemic,
like
it
was
sometime
two
years
ago
this
week
or
next
week,
where
we
kind
of
went
into
shutdown.
B
So
by
this
point,
hopefully
we're
used
to
virtual
meetings,
but
of
course,
a
few
things
to
cover
just
our
standard
information
here,
please
do
keep
your
mic
muted
unless
you're
called
on
to
speak.
We
are
recording
this
meeting
again.
As
I
mentioned,
we'll
be
posting
this
recording
on
the
city's
website.
B
B
All
righty,
so
let's
go
through
what
we're
going
to
cover
this
evening,
so
we
will
start
with
a
background
on
the
go
kc
sidewalk
program,
we'll
run
through.
Like
I
mentioned,
a
progress
update
we've
been
hard
at
work.
You
know
we
have
made
a
lot
of
progress.
We
do
know
that
sidewalks
are
a
high
priority
in
all
neighborhoods
across
the
city.
This
is
something
that
uday
and
I
have
been
to.
B
I
mean
several
dozen
meetings,
whether
it's
neighborhood
meetings
or
council
updates
over
the
last
couple
of
years,
and
so
we've
heard
how
big
of
a
priority
sidewalks
are
in
every
corner
of
the
city
and
the
needs
and
and
the
way
sidewalk
walks
in
look
or
don't
look
is
very
different
in
every
corner
of
the
city.
So
we
definitely
understand
that
there
are
different
needs
and
priorities
around
sidewalks
across
the
board,
and
so
we're
excited
to
hear
specifically
from
tonight.
You
know
what
what
those
ongoing
concerns
and
priorities
are
for
you.
B
What's
coming
up
next,
we
will
be
undertaking
for
the
next
year
an
effort
to
do
a
lot
more
engagement,
a
lot
more
outreach
around
our
comprehensive
sidewalk
plan,
we're
at
a
point
in
the
program
where
we're
going
to
be
pivoting
from
the
old
backlog
of
sidewalk
locations
and
sidewalk
repair
to
the
next
level
of
repair
for
sidewalks
in
the
city,
and
we
really
are
going
to
count
on
conversations
with
you
all
and
feedback
we
received
from
the
community
on.
How
do
we
inform
sidewalk
prepare
into
the
future?
B
So
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that,
and
then
we
will
end
with
a
couple
of
slides
about
our
new
vision,
zero
initiative.
This
is
related
in
the
way
that
we
are
concerned
as
a
city
with
safety
and
accessibility
and
mobility
around
the
city
as
it
pertains
to
how
different
people
move
around
the
city,
and
there
really
is
a
safety
element
to
it,
and
everything
that
we're
doing
in
the
public
works
department
and
at
the
city.
C
Good
evening,
everyone
within
manipulate
with
public
works.
I
really
appreciate
me-
and
the
team
really
appreciate
your
time
this
evening,
to
give
you
a
quick
background.
When
the
jour
bond
was
passed
in
2017,
there
was
150
million
dollars
dedicated
to
sidewalks
over
20
years.
The
number
seems
like
really
huge,
but
when
you
break
it
down
per
year,
it
is
like
seven
and
a
half
million
and
mag.
If
you
go
to
the
next
slide,
I
can
explain
more
details.
C
In
that
seven
and
a
half
million,
it
is
broadly
categorized
into
two
categories.
One
is
the
ada
program
and
the
other
one
is
the
sidewalk
program.
The
idea
program
is
related
to
the
settlement.
We
have
the
department
of
justice
and
the
program
focuses
on
identifying
corners
throughout
the
city
and
make
them
ada
compliant.
C
C
So
we
started
initially
by
addressing
just
the
property
owners
who
reported
the
issues,
but
we
thought
that's
not
a
good
approach,
so
we
have
expanded
it
through
that
block,
when
I
say
block
it's
from
one
intersection
to
another,
so
we
have
been
doing
that
and
we
anticipate
this
to
be
completed
by
2025
and
the
second
part
of
the
program
is
inspections
so,
prior
to
2017,
we
didn't
have
any
data
of
where
the
sidewalks
are.
What
are
what
are
the
conditions
of
the
sidewalk
and
what
we
need
to
do
strategically
to
get
this
sidewalk
fixed?
C
So
we
started
the
inspections
program
in
2021
last
year
and
we,
as
of
today,
we
have
covered
over
1000
centerline
miles.
We
have
data
around
750
miles
in
our
asset
management
system
and
we
continue
to
gather
information
by
inspecting
the
sidewalks.
John
will
talk
a
little
more
about
that.
The
third
initiative
is
a
payout
match
fund.
C
Basically,
you
have
your
payout
in
in-district
payout
dollars.
Each
district
has
some
amount
and
those
dollars
are
funded
based
on
people
submitting
paya
request.
They
are
reviewed
by
your
pack
administrators
and
later
reviewed
by
your
council
members
and
adopted
in
the
city
budget.
So
there's
a
payout
match
fund,
which
we,
which
we
also
do
it's
not
a
large
amount
it
we
started
with
600
000
a
year.
This
is
the
first
year.
We
did
that
and
then
the
last
one
is
special
initiatives.
C
C
C
So
this
year
with,
we
initiated
two
pilot
programs.
So
when
we
look
at
sidewalks
prior
to
this
year,
there
were
only
two
options
which
we
used.
One
is
either
remove
the
sidewalk
and
replace
it
or
don't
do
anything,
but
the
cost
of
replacing
a
sidewalk
panel.
When
I
say
aside
to
a
panel
from
joint
to
joint,
it's
it's
expensive,
so
it
may
be
somewhere
between
750
dollars,
two
thousand
dollars.
C
So
what
we
have
done
is
we
looked
around
what
other
cities
have
done
and
we
we
saw
this
low
cost
technique
where
it
removes
the
tripping
hazard,
but
it
still
maintains
the
existing
sidewalk.
So
we
have
done
this
pilot
program
around
gregory
and
72nd
street
and
it
was
a
good
success
based
on
the
return
of
investment
of
the
sidewalks
based
on
the
results.
C
And
the
second
pilot
program
is
so
most
of
our
neighborhoods
are
older
neighborhoods.
We
have
big
trees
and
which
buckle
the
sidewalk.
That
has
been
a
major
problem,
especially
in
the
central
city
area.
So
what
we
have
done
is
our
our
initial
plan
was
just
to
re,
remove
the
tree
or
cut
the
tree,
which
may
not
be
the
right
solution
for
environment
as
we
want
to
save
the
trees
as
well,
but
also
make
sure
we
have
walkability
we
partnered
with
couple
of
agencies.
C
One
is
university
of
missouri,
kansas
city,
then
a
construction
company
gunter
and
a
rubber
way,
a
company
which
provides
that
recycled
rubber.
So
we
use
this
material
on
kenwood
between
41st
and
gilham,
and
we
we
put
in
this
rubberized
sidewalk
the
it
focuses
on
two
things.
One
is:
will
it
actually
save
the
trees
second
one
because,
because
of
the
breathability
it
provides,
the
rubber
provides.
The
second
one
is:
how
cost
effective
is
it
and
third
objective
is:
will
it
survive
a
winter?
C
B
And
I
just
wanted
to
add
really
quick
before
we
transition
to
the
next
section
here.
How
exciting
it
is
that
the
city
is
looking
at
pilot
programs
like
the
last
two
projects
around
the
city.
I
I
think
it
speaks
to
someone
mentioned
in
the
chat,
unconventional
solutions
and
and
testing
out
techniques
that
might
be
more
cost
effective.
Obviously
we
would
love
to
save
trees
as
many
as
we
can
in
all
of
our
neighborhoods.
D
Thank
you,
maggie
with
the
passage
of
the
geo
bond.
The
city
became
responsible
for
4
000
miles
of
sidewalk
and,
to
put
that
in
perspective,
that's
enough
sidewalk,
to
connect
kansas
city
to
the
panama
canal
and
with
so
many
sidewalks,
they
needed
to
inventory
and
review
the
condition
of
that
system
to
understand
how
to
best
manage
it,
similar
to
what
uday
pointed
out
and
the
geo
bond
required.
D
D
This
map
and
the
information
provided
is
on
the
city's
website.
So
you
can
look
at
that
to
get
more
information
or
more
details
about
that.
Next
slide.
Please,
to
complete
the
inventory
reviews.
The
city
hired
three
consultant
teams
and
they
were
tasked
with
the
reviews
of
sidewalks
ramps
and
curbs
and
other
items
for
each
of
the
priorities.
D
The
city
encouraged
the
use
of
innovations
to
enhance
the
data
collection
and
reduce
the
cost.
Some
of
the
field
reviews
have
been
completed
by
field
review,
crews
who
walk
the
site
and
that's
the
traditional
way
that
sidewalks
are
rated,
but
my
team.
We
actually
use
segways
for
some
of
our
inspections
and
that's
equipped
with
equip
equipped
with
measuring
devices
so
that,
as
they
ride
down
the
sidewalk,
they
pick
up
cracks
and
bumps
and
other
information.
D
The
city
required
formal
quality
checks
after
the
first
25
miles
of
each
team's
review,
and
then
at
the
final
data
was
submitted.
A
final
spot
check
was
completed
then
as
well,
and
that
was
important
to
make
sure
the
assessments
of
the
sidewalk
were
consistent
between
all
the
three
teams
and
all
the
different
devices
next
slide.
Please.
D
The
reviews
identified
were
sidewalks,
had
surface
cracks
of
a
quarter
inch
or
more
displacement
was
also
documented
for
tripping
hazards
of
a
quarter
inch
and
we
noted
severe
hazards
of
an
inch
or
more
of
displacement,
but
with
all
of
that,
we
also
looked
at
surface
spalling
and
rough
surface
of
concrete
and
with
all
that,
we
still
looked
at
ponding,
unapproved
materials,
driveways,
retaining
walls,
landscaping
and
other
ancillary
items.
So
it
was
a
full
review
of
the
sidewalk
and
the
surrounding
infrastructure
that
affected
the
sidewalk.
D
Sidewalk
ramps
were
reviewed
using
the
same
criteria,
but
we
also
looked
to
see
if
there
was
an
88
ramp
located
there
and
then
also
if
an
ada
detectable
warning
was
located
on
the
ramp
street
curbs
were
reviewed
for
condition
and
ponding
and
then,
as
another
level,
all
the
trees
that
were
within
a
few
feet
of
the
sidewalk
were
identified
and
those
that
obstructed
or
damaged
the
sidewalk
were
noted,
especially
well
as
in
addition
next
slide.
Please.
D
My
team
is
actually
on
the
central
region
and
we
are
reviewing
priority
five
sidewalks
this
year
and
so
far
the
data
has
confirmed
the
assumption
that
the
older
areas
of
the
city
will
have
a
high
percentage
of
sidewalk
and
ramps
out
of
repair,
just
simply
because
the
infrastructure
is
older
and
in
the
center
portion
of
the
city,
nearly
45
of
sidewalk
ramps
have
one
or
more
repair
issues,
and
this
doesn't
mean
they
need
to
be
replaced
right
away.
It's
just
that
they're
showing
their
age
and
they've
got
some
repair
needs.
D
So,
with
each
of
these
completed
reviews,
the
city
has
a
better
inventory
of
the
conditions
of
their
sidewalks,
and
this
map
shows
the
recorded
points,
repair
needs
and
it's
also
available
on
the
kcmo
website,
and
it's
actually
interactive.
So
you
can
zoom
in
all
the
way
down
to
your
street
and
your
house.
If
you
want
just
note
that
with
gis
systems,
things
don't
always
line
up
quite
exactly
so,
even
if
the
repair
points
are
like
floating.
In
your
yard,
it's
actually
for
your
sidewalk,
so
that's
normal!
E
Thanks
maggie
I'm
travis
pendleton
with
virio,
we
are
helping
with
the
community
engagement
and
communications
for
the
project.
As
maggie
and
jude
mentioned
earlier,
there
was
a
whole
lot
of
public
engagement
and
meetings
related
to
the
go
kc
sidewalk
program.
In
fact,
there
were
probably
maybe
over
50
meetings
that
were
held
throughout
the
city.
It
wasn't
just
meetings,
we
also
had
phone
calls
emails
and
other
ways
of
communicating
and
engaging
throughout
the
project.
E
E
So
one
of
the
things
that
we
heard
and
really
it's
a
lot
of
questions,
what's
the
goal
of
the
project
when
we're
talking
about
go
casey
sidewalks,
are
we
talking
about
continuous
repair
for
all
the
neighborhoods
or
just
spot
repairs
by
this
point
in
the
process,
this
is
around.
2019
people
had
already
seen
some
spot
repair
work
happening.
So
there
are
some
questions
about
that
and
we're
doing
more
than
that.
They
were
also
asking
about
the
tree
trimming
and
removal.
E
People
also
wanted
to
know
you
know:
what
are
we
going
to
do
for
blocks
that
don't
have
sidewalks?
How
are
we
going
to
adjust
those?
What
are
we
going
to
do
about
the
demand
analysis?
How
do
we
address
the
scoring
related
to
that
and
I'll
touch
on
that
again
and
you
they
will
touch
on
that
again
in
a
second.
E
There
are
also
some
questions
about
how
and
when
we
get
information
out
about
this
project,
there
is
a
website
for
it
casey
most
sidewalks.
I
think
jackie
in
my
office
will
pop
it
into
the
chat
for
you.
I
think
it's
up
earlier
in
the
chat
if
you've
got
access
to
that,
but
we'll
put
it
in
there
again.
We
do
have
a
website.
E
Everything
that
we're
doing
for
the
project
is
on
that
website
and
then
we're
trying
to
be
really
certain
that
when
we
have
meetings
and
events
that
we
let
you
know
that
we're
having
them
and
that
we
keep
sending
reminders
to
let
you
know
that
they're
out
there,
john
and
uday
have
already
talked
about
the
inspections
and
how
long
that's
going
to
take.
But
there
were
some
concerns
about
that
and
then
what
are
we
going
to
do
when
the
go
kc
bond
runs
out?
E
How
do
we
tackle
our
sidewalk
problems?
I
think
uday
showed
you
that
we're
going
through
like
2037.
there's
a
lot
of
work
to
be
done
by
that
time
and
there's
we
won't
be
able
to
finish
everything
by
then.
So
it's
a
little
undetermined
right
now,
how
far
we'll
be
able
to
go
in
terms
of
what
happens
when
the
bond
is
done,
but
there
were
some
concerns
about
just
looking
towards
the
future,
and
what
are
we
going
to
do?
E
They
also
have
lower
life
expectancies.
Looking
at
that,
data
can
also
be
a
measure
of
equity
where
we
have
had
continual
or
historic
investment
is
another
way
of
trying
to
measure
equity.
So
people
were
posing
some
ideas
in
relationship
to
that,
but
the
equity
conversation
and
the
priorities,
one
through
five
conversation
really
come
together
and
so
uday
is
going
to
talk
about
the
sidewalk
construction
comprehensive
plan
and
how
it
incorporates
equity
and
the
priorities.
C
Thank
you
trevis.
So,
as
trevis
and
john
maggie
were
talking
about,
we
since
2019,
we
went
to
a
lot
of
public
meetings
and
public
engagement.
When
we
went
throughout
the
city,
there
was
one
thing
which
accord
echoed
a
lot,
which
is:
when
will
I
have
the
opportunity
to
present
my
case
about
sidewalks
the
need
for
sidewalks.
Our
city
is
huge.
It's
like
350
square
miles,
different
districts
have
different
regions,
have
different
needs
up
north
of
the
river
or
way
south.
We
don't
have
sidewalks
in
the
central
city.
C
We
have
a
lot
of
sidewalks
which
are
in
disrepair
so
so
everyone
was
saying
we
need
an
opportunity
to
express
ourselves
and
there
are
lot
of
comments.
Trevis
highlighted
a
few
of
them.
We
took
all
that
information
back
processed
it
and
we
went
back
to
our
management
director,
shaw,
jason
walden,
and
then
we
also
went
back
to
our
council
and
consummate
bunch
is
on
the
call
as
well.
Who
is
one
of
the
champions
of
this
comprehensive
plan
and
we
said
hey.
What
we
are
doing
is
not
enough.
C
We
need
to
do
more
and
we
looked
around
a
lot
of
cities,
and
then
we
decided
that
these
are
the
factors
which
we're
gonna
influence
for
our
future
construction.
One
is
the
data
which
we
have.
Equity
plays
a
major
role
and
then,
instead
of
looking
block
by
block
or
intersection
to
intersection,
we
have
to
look
at
connectivity
between
point
a
to
point
b.
The
point,
a
to
point
b
may
be
different:
it
may
be
from
school
to
neighborhood.
It
may
be
from
grocery
stores
to
a
neighborhood.
C
It
may
be
from
a
transit
stop
to
a
work,
location
or
a
hospital.
It
differs
for
different
locations,
so
we
we
thought
we
would
look
at
the
shortest
path,
and
here
community
engagement,
that's
a
big
thing
which,
in
the
next
few
months
we
need
every
one
of
you
to
come
to
get
all
the
information.
You
have
your
issues
and
let
us
know
so.
C
There
will
be
two
meetings,
one
in
person
and
one
virtual,
and
we
are
going
to
collect
all
that
information
and
that
will
be
incorporated
in
our
future
construction,
sidewalk
and
condition,
and
we
are
also
going
to
look
at
bike.
Pet
crashes,
because
we
also
want
to
see
what
is
the
reason
why
these
crashes
are
occurring.
Is
it
because
the
sidewalks
are
missing
or
the
infrastructure
is
bad
or
whatever
reason
it
may
be?
C
C
So
the
next
steps,
if
you
don't
take
anything
from
this
meeting
there
is
one
thing
I
want
you
to
take
away.
There
are
12
12
meetings
throughout
the
city.
It
is
directed
at
each
council
district,
but
you
can
attend
any
of
this
council
district
and
please
come
back
to
us
with
comments
and
concerns
on
sidewalks.
We
are
gonna,
take
them
into
account
in
our
next
plan.
So
that's
one
key
takeaway
from
this
meeting.
We
will
still
continue
our
inspections
as
promised.
C
B
Okay,
so
I
think
we're
transitioning
to
the
next
topic,
but
before
I
switch
the
slide,
I
do
just
want
to
emphasize
again
that
we
were
intentionally
wanting
to
preview.
This
comprehensive
sidewalk
plan
this
evening,
understanding
that
we
are
collecting
feedback
tonight,
but
there
will
be
ample
opportunity
over
the
next
several
months
as
well.
So
please
do
let
your
neighbors
friends
family
know.
You
know
who
care
about
sidewalks
and
walkability
in
kansas
city
to
stay
tuned
and
stay
engaged
in
the
process
over
the
next
several
months.
B
So
switching
gears
slightly
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
vision,
zero
for
the
group,
while
we're
here
and
in
its
relation
to
accessibility
and
and
safety
on
our
roads
and
sidewalks
in
kansas
city.
A
couple
of
years
ago,
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
or
so
city,
council
and
the
city
passed
a
division,
zero
resolution
to
look
at
traffic
crashes
and
really
come
up
with
a
strategy
to
eliminate
fatalities
and
serious
injuries
on
our
roads.
B
B
So
there
are
several
components:
I'm
not
going
to
read
through
necessarily
this
whole
slide
here,
but
wanted
everyone
to
know
that
you
know
we're
looking
at
this
crash
data
to
inform
our
improvements
to,
as
uday
mentioned,
the
previous
slide,
to
also
help
inform
walkability
and
sidewalk
investments
as
well.
You
know
we
are
starting
this
year
with
some
improvements,
neighborhood
traffic
calming
intersection
improvements
that
will
impact
walkability
and
safety
for
pedestrians
as
well.
B
You
know
we're
looking
at
ways
to
reduce
speeds
around
the
city,
knowing
that
a
lot
of
neighborhoods
want
to
slow
traffic
down
on
their
streets
and
again,
there's
a
lot
of
engagement
and
involvement
and
evaluation
with
the
vision,
zero
program
as
well.
So
it
definitely
ties
to
walkability
and
the
pedestrian.
B
This
was
installed
to
make
the
street
safer
for
pedestrians
crossing
at
this
location.
It's
also
near
a
school
and
also
slow
traffic
down
on
this
street.
So
there
very
much
is
a
tie
into
you,
know:
pedestrian
safety
and
walkability
with
the
vision,
zero
initiative,
we're
also
looking
to
make
traffic
signal
upgrades
at
some
locations,
making
it
safer
for
pedestrians
to
cross
the
street.
B
Part
of
the
initiative
will
involve
protected
bike
lanes
and
installing
them
at
building
out
our
network
at
different
locations
as
well,
and
then,
as
I
already
mentioned,
traffic
calming
and
neighborhood
streets
to
really
slow
traffic
down
and
make
it
safer
for
our
neighbors
who
are
walking
to
school
or
walking
to
the
bus,
stop
or
whatnot
so
again,
vision.
Zero
is
very
important
to
us.
It
is
a
new,
newer
initiative,
but
we
will
start
to
see
projects
hitting
the
streets
in
our
neighborhoods
this
spring
and
over
the
summer.
B
So
we're
very
excited
about
that.
We
will
be
putting
out
more
information
about
a
public
meeting
specific
division-
zero
here
in
the
next
week
or
two.
So,
if
you're
interested
in
learning
more
about
this,
we
will
have
an
open
house
at
the
end
of
the
month
about
vision,
zero,
and
we
would
invite
you
to
attend
that
if
you're
interested
in
this
topic
as
well,
but
with
that,
I
think
that
concludes
our
formal
program.
But
I
did
want
to
give
a
quick
shout
out.
B
We
do
have,
I
believe,
two
elected
officials
on
the
line
council,
members,
boo
and
bunch
and
just
wanna
acknowledge
your
presence.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
I
think
we
also
have
a
public
improvements,
advisory
committee
representative,
jim
wanser,
on
the
line
as
well
so
didn't
know
if
you
all
wanted
to
say
anything
quickly,
but
we
wanted
to
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening.
F
Yeah
yeah,
oh
I've
got
a
kid
yelling
in
the
background
right
now,
maggie
I
just
wanted
to
hop
in
and
just
say,
thanks
to
to
you
and
uday
and
and
to
the
to
the
consulting
team
on
this
really
important
data
collection.
That
was,
I
think,
a
little
overdue
to
get
done,
but
what
a
great
data
set
this
is
to
have.
F
And
secondly,
I
just
wanted
to
mention
that,
as
as
many
of
you
know
and
as
the
staff
noted
in
in
in
the
next
few
months,
we're
going
to
be
embarking
on
the
next
phase
of
this
planning
so
that
as
we
move
out
of
out-
and
we
said
but
worth
repeating-
but
as
you
move
out
of
the
backlog
of
sidewalk
needs
through
3-1-1,
really
moving
into
more
strategic,
proactive
approach
to
sidewalk
planning
and
that's
what
this
this
next
phase
of
the
plan
is
really
set
to
accomplish.
I'm
really
excited
to
see
where
that
goes.
F
G
Maggie,
I
I
don't
have
much
to
add,
but
you
know
I.
I
live
right
in
the
middle
of
a
lot
of
areas
that
have
sidewalks
that
are
in
need
of
repairs,
and
I
hear
from
neighbors
and
constituents
often
so
this
is
something
that's
very
timely,
as
well
as
the
issues
with
vision,
zero,
a
couple
of
blocks
from
my
house
this
weekend
there
was
a
fatality
accident
on
and
another
accident
just
today,
so
it's!
G
B
Thank
you
so
much
so
with
that.
I
think
we
will
kind
of
transition
to
a
discussion.
Question
answer
we'll
probably
start
in
the
chat
and
work
through
any
comments
or
questions
that
have
been
shared
in
the
chat
and
then
you
know
feel
free
to
keep
adding
your
comments
into
the
chat
or,
if
you
prefer,
to
raise
your
hand.
We
also
do
know
that
there
are
a
few
folks
join
by
the
phone,
so
we'll
get
to
you
all
as
well,
but
travis.
E
Okay,
what
I'm
going
to
do
maggie
is
I'm
going
to
start
from
the
top
and
go
down
and
I'll
just
go
through
them.
So
there
was
a
lot
of
you
know.
Thank
you
for
the
information
that
we're
sharing.
But
when
we
were
talking
about
the
rubberized
sidewalks,
people
are
asking
about,
maybe
the
lifespan
of
those.
C
I
can
access
that
the
first
one
which
was
installed
and
the
company
which
we
are
working
with
it
was
like
20
years
ago.
They
installed
in
los
angeles,
and
they
are
installed
near
the
smithsonian
museum
in
dc,
so
different
climate.
They
are
still
holding
good.
So
we
only
know
data
that
it
works
for
now
for
20
years,
but
kansas
city
is
little
different.
C
We
have
too
many
freeze
cycles
that
which
also
affects
our
payments,
so
we
don't
know
yet
that's
what
based
on
the
information
which
umkc
collects
right
now
they
are
going
to
predict
how
long
they
are
going
to
last,
but
the
beauty
of
these
rubberized
sidewalks
is
so
let's
say
if
we
have
a
sidewalk
issue
right
now.
The
panel
is
five
by
five
five
foot
by
five
or
four
by
five.
C
We
have
to
take
that
entire
panel
out
of
it,
but
with
this
rubberized
sidewalk
you
can
even
make
a
cut
of
one
foot
by
one
foot
where
there
is
disrepair
and
you
can
replace
that
one
foot
by
one
foot
so
long
term.
It
should
be
cost
effective,
but
I
don't
exactly
have
an
answer
on
how
long
they
are
going
to
last
hope
that
answers
your
question.
E
That
question
was
from
aaron
aaron.
I
hope
that
was
okay,
if
not,
if
you
have
other
questions
drop
them
in
the
chat
or
you
can
raise
your
hand,
see
a
thumbs
up
on
that.
So
hopefully
that
covered
it.
There
are
some
questions
in
the
chat
like,
for
example,
from
katie
asking
for
the
website
link
to
the
map,
and
so
we've
dropped
that
into
the
chat
also
a
couple
of
times
the
other
there's
another
question:
I'm
wondering
how
long
this
slide
walks
stack,
how
long
the
sidewalks
last
compared
to
concrete.
E
C
E
Okay,
thank
you.
Here's
a
question
from
kelly
thompson
in
the
chat
she
asks.
Can
you
tell,
can
you
tell
her
when
or
if
their
neighborhood
sidewalks
will
be
replaced,
she's
in
the
roanoke
neighborhood
they
have
considered
applying
for
a
grant?
The
rebuild
kc
grant
to
be
specific
to
do
the
sidewalk
and
accessibility
ramp
replacement,
but
they
don't
want
to
double
up
on
the
funding
requests.
C
Sure
sure
travis,
there
are
a
couple
of
faults
on
that
question.
So
I'll
I'll
address
the
second
one
first,
so
you
can
always
apply
the
rebuild
kc
grant
as
of
now.
That
would
be
if
it
is,
if,
if
your
application
is
selected
for
the
grant,
that
would
be
the
fastest
way
to
replace
the
sidewalk,
because
the
deadline
is
march,
2022
march
22nd,
2022
and
if
it
is
approved,
I
think,
as
early
as
july,
you're
gonna
get
the
grant.
C
C
B
B
It
is
an
opportunity
to
fund
neighborhood
improvements.
The
money
is
coming
from
partially
american
rescue
plan
funds,
and
so
the
city.
It
was
a
priority
to
want
to
make
these
funds
available
to
neighborhoods,
to
nonprofit
groups,
to
individuals
who
want
to
make
small
neighborhood
improvements,
so
that
application
is
open
right
now,
funding
things
like
sidewalk
repair
and
park
updates,
and
you
know,
curb
repair
in
the
neighborhood
or
funding
training,
programs
or
workforce
programs.
So
there's
a
lot
of
information
on
the
project
website
that
we
put
put
up
there.
B
B
Kayak
public
improvement
advisory
committee
travis
just
put
that
link
in
the
chat,
I
think
the
shorthand
for
that
is
kcmo.gov
backslash
p-I-a-c
kayak,
and
that
is
also
an
opportunity
for
it's
an
annual
application.
Those
applications
are
due
in
august
of
every
year
and
we've
been
very
successful
in
coordinating
with
the
payet
committee
about
sidewalk
repair
across
the
city,
and
it
is
a
funding
source
that
each
council
district
gets
a
certain
amount
of
money
to
allocate
towards
neighborhood
improvements.
Every
year
we
do
have
a
payout
representative
on
the
line.
H
Hello,
I
would
just
say
that
there's
it's
been
a
growing
opportunity
over
the
last
few
years,
when
I
initially
started
with
pike.
Seven
years
ago,
we
sort
of
had
a
blanket
understanding
that
we
we
didn't,
do
sidewalks,
but
occasionally
we
did,
but
over
the
years
that's
the
need
became
so
relevant
and
a
lot
of
our
applications
are
about.
H
E
Okay:
let's
go
to
the
next
question
in
the
chat
this
is
from
katie
and
chris.
I
do
see
that
your
hands
up
so
after
we
answer
katie's
question
we'll
jump
over
to
you
so
get
ready.
Here's
katie
whert's
question
she
says
I
understand
my
street
is
priority.
Five.
I
have
a
city
tree
in
the
right
of
way
that
has
torn
up
the
sidewalk
in
front
of
my
house
to
the
point.
It
is
a
tripping
hazard.
E
C
E
I
Sure,
hey
maggie:
this
is
chris
koch
at
south
hyde
park.
I
know
we
chatted
a
couple
years
ago
right
before
coppit
hit
with
some.
I
think
they
were
ada
requests
that
were
on
the
docket
at
least
from
to
be
repaired
by
the
88
team.
But
those
were,
I
don't
know
if
they
were
postponed
or
canceled
altogether,
because
the
crews
were
reallocated
elsewhere.
Are
those
requests
going
to
become
active
again
and
do
you
know
if
there's
a
timeline
for
requests
that
were
previously
approved
but
on
hold
because
of
covid.
B
B
C
I
E
There
are
some
other
comments
after
katie
wert's
comment
in
the
chat.
Justin
just
had
a
comment
about
data-driven
solutions.
I
think
he's
liking
those,
but
he
didn't
elaborate
so
justin.
If
you
want
to
share
more
about
that.
You're
welcome
to
do
so.
There's
a
question
from
valerie
in
the
chat.
It's
back
to
the
priorities
and
she's
asking
is
the
condition
of
the
sidewalk
considered
in
determining
the
priority
level
of
the
repair.
C
So
if
I
understand
your
question
correctly,
valerie
the
priority,
the
inspection,
what
so,
let's
break
it
down
into
two
things:
whatever
we
are
inspecting
right
now
is
based
on
inspection
priority.
Whatever
inspection
priority,
it
doesn't
matter
as
long
as
it
as
long.
The
condition
is
bad
that
will
be
incorporated
in
the
comprehensive
plant.
C
C
So
there
has
been
an
administrative
regulation
which
passed
last
year
based
on
the
diameter
of
the
tree.
We
have
to
replace
number
of
trees,
for
instance
a
big
oak
tree.
If
we
remove
a
big
oak
tree,
we
have
to
replace
eight
trees
in
in
the
project
location
or
in
that
neighborhood
or
in
that
area.
So
whichever
is
possible.
E
A
E
C
B
And
we,
I
don't
know
that
I
are
prepped
for
like
the
legal
language
of
it
at
this
particular
meeting,
but
I
would
say
please
follow
up
with
us
via
email.
If
you
have
continued
questions
on
sort
of
what
the
legal
liability
would
be
between
the
city
and
the
property
owner,
that's
something
we
can
consult
with
our
law
department
and
get
you
more
information.
E
Thank
you
all.
I'm
gonna
go
back
to
the
chat.
This
is
a
question
from
logan
daniels
he's
asking.
If
we
submitted
sidewalks
in
our
neighborhood
renaissance
excuse
me:
they
submitted
sidewalks
in
their
neighborhood
renaissance
place
for
ada
issues,
so
that's
their
neighborhood
and
they
want
to
know
when
they
might
see
the
dots
in
the
interactive
map
with
all
the
dots,
because
the
area
is
completely
clear.
So
when
are
they
going
to
see?
Inspection
dots,
I
think,
is
the
question.
C
Yeah,
I
don't
know
what
priority
you
are
falling
under,
but
as
as
john
was
mentioning
we,
the
data
you
are
seeing,
is
only
750
miles
of
the
sidewalk.
There
is
another
300
miles
which
is
under
qa
qc
process.
I
know
most
of
central
would
fall
under
priority
four,
so
we
should
one
to
four.
So
we
should
have
that
information
updated
in
the
next
few
months,
but
if
it
is
still
not
there,
that
means
we
are
in
the
process
of
inspecting
the
sidewalks
and
as
and
when
it
gets
to
our
system.
E
E
You
dave
justin's
back
in
the
chat.
I
was
asking
about
his
data
solutions
and
he
was
saying
he
was
just
praising
the
data
driven
solutions,
aspect
of
the
project,
seeing
it
through
throughout
the
city,
and
he
feels
like
for
so
long.
We
have
been
grasping
at
straws,
but
now,
with
this
data,
we
can
make
informed
decisions
quote-unquote,
and
this
is
a
good
thing
for
sure.
E
That
was
a
really
positive
comment,
and
that
was
the
last
comment
that
we
have
in
the
chat.
We
have
five
minutes
to
go.
I
know
that
there
are
lots
of
people
still
online.
There
are
some
people
that
are
calling
in
so,
if
you're
calling
in-
and
you
have
a
question
or
comment
that
you
would
like
to
share,
you
would
need
to
hit
star
six
to
unmute
yourself.
So
we
can
hear
you,
but
please
do
that
if
you
have
something
that
you'd
like
to
share
tonight,.
C
You
need
we
need
to
work
with
the
parks
and
rec
department
to
take
down
any
trees
in
the
right
of
way.
So
there
is
a
process
for
it
and
if
you
think
311
is
not
helping
you
out
reach
out
to
me,
I
can
try
to
connect
with
you
and
see
what
can
be
done
and
we
can
try
to
connect
with
the
right
person
in
parks
and
recreation.
C
I
just
said
yeah
logan,
as
I
was
saying,
if
it
is
in
the
right
of
way,
it
is
not
in
your
private
property.
It
is
in
your
right
of
way
the
the
approach
is,
you
have
to
reach
out
to
parks
and
rec
department
and
they
will
come
and
evaluate
the
tree
that
it
can
be
removed
or
not.
If,
if
they
determine
it
to
be
removed,
then
we
need
to
talk
about
the
funding
process,
but
that's
that's
the
way
that
needs
to
be
addressed.
B
And
I
would
add
here
because
I
I
live
in
a
central
neighborhood
and
went
on
a
walk
yesterday
and
there
were
gumballs
everywhere.
So
I
I
can
also
relate
and
wanted
to
just
let
this
group
know
on
the
call
that
you
can
just
wouldn't
solve
the
sidewalk
clearing
of
gumballs
but
the
street
side
of
it.
You
can
request
street
sweeping
through
the
my
kc
mo
app,
which
is
3-1-1.
It
is
a
newer
service
request
that
was
added
a
few
months
ago
to
my
case
mo
in
311..
B
E
B
I'll
just
say
in
closing,
thanks
again
everyone
for
the
thoughtful
conversation
for
your
attention
this
evening
again,
look
look
for
more
updates
from
us
about
additional
engagement
opportunities
over
the
coming
months.
We
really
appreciate
everybody's,
you
know
thoughtful
participation
and,
of
course,
please
reach
out
to
uday
or
myself.
If
you
have
any
questions
pertaining
to
sidewalks
or
other
city
city
things
that
we
can
help
to
connect
you,
but
have
a
wonderful
rest
of
your
week
and
thank
you
and
have
a
great
night.
