B
A
I
did
hit
record
so
we
are
recording.
I
am
going
to
wait,
probably
one
or
two
more
minutes
before
we
officially
start
just
in
case
we
have
any
late
comers,
but
just
please
do
keep
in
mind
that
we
are
recording
at
this
point.
B
A
A
good
evening,
if
you
just
joined
us
we're
waiting
about
a
couple
more
seconds
before
we
officially
start,
but
thanks
so
much
for
joining
us
this
evening.
A
All
right,
everybody,
it's
603,
I'm
gonna
go
ahead
and
kick
us
off
here
this
evening.
My
name
is
maggie
green,
I'm
the
media
relations
manager
for
the
city
of
kansas
city
missouri.
We
are
here
this
evening
to
talk
about
sidewalks,
which
we
know
is
a
very
important
topic
to
residents
in
all
areas
of
the
city.
A
So
we're
very
excited
to
be
here
with
the
project
team
tonight
to
spend
some
time
with
you
all,
providing
an
update
on
the
program
and
and
hearing
from
you
about
your
your
thoughts
and
concerns
about
sidewalk.
So
I'm
going
to,
let's
see,
introduce
our
project
team.
A
We
have
this
evening,
a
few
speakers,
so
I
will
be
kind
of
helping
to
facilitate.
We
have
uday
monopoly.
Who
is
our
sidewalk
program
manager
with
the
public
works
department?
A
A
Managers
on
the
project,
team
and
you'll
also
hear
from
travis
pendleton,
who
is
a
on
our
project
communication
side
of
things
with
virio,
and
then
we
also
have
two
other
folks
from
virio,
jackie
and
maddie,
who
will
be
helping
us
to
help
facilitate
our
chat
this
evening
with
the
meeting.
So
before
we
talk
about
the
details,
I
did
want
to
kind
of
provide
a
overview
here
of
what
we'll
be
talking
about.
So
again,
we
have
folks
joining
us
in.
A
We
would
ask
if
you
were
joining
tonight
to
please
keep
your
mic
muted.
That
way,
we
can
minimize
our
background
noise
as
we're
going
through
our
discussion
tonight,
but
we're
very
excited
that
you
all
are
here
tonight.
We
will
provide
sort
of
a
background
on
the
sidewalk
program.
A
A
We've
also
we've
been
to
a
lot
of
public
meetings
and
discussions
and
heard
a
lot
of
feedback
from
residents,
and
so
that's
really
important
in
informing
where
the
sidewalk
program
heads
you
know
it's
been
several
years
since
we
did
our
sidewalk
road
show
back
in
2019,
we
did
a
series
of
public
meetings
and
gathered
a
lot
of
input.
A
I
know
uday
and
myself
have
have
also
been
to
lots
of
city
council
neighborhood
meetings,
neighborhood
association
meetings,
so
we
we've
been
sort
of
around
the
city
to
listen
about
and
hear
about
sidewalks,
and
so
we
we
do
want
to
kind
of
share
what
we've
learned
and
heard
and
why
that's
important
to
hear
your
feedback.
A
We
are
going
to
talk
tonight
just
briefly
about
sort
of
what's
next,
with
the
program
we're
over
the
next
year,
working
on
a
comprehensive
sidewalk
plan,
we're
at
a
point
in
the
program
where
we
are
looking
to
how
we're
going
to
inform
the
sidewalk
repairs
in
the
future
and
your
input
and
your
participation
will
be
really
important
in
informing
you
know,
sort
of
how
we
repair
sidewalks
in
the
future.
A
So
we're
going
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
and
and
some
next
steps
there
we'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
a
new
program
with
the
city
called
vision,
zero
and
that's
around
making
sure
our
streets
are
safe
for
everyone
to
move
around
and
trying
to
eliminate
traffic
crashes
in
the
city.
A
So
we'll
talk
very
briefly
about
that
at
the
end
and
then,
of
course,
we'll
leave
plenty
of
time
for
discussion,
questions
and
answers
as
we
move
about
the
the
presentation
so
really
quick,
a
couple
housekeeping
items,
please
do
stay
muted
unless
you're
called
on
to
speak.
A
We
are
recording
the
meeting
and
it
will
be
posted
and
available
on
the
project
website.
That's
kcmo.gov,
sidewalks,
we'll
make
sure
that
information
is
in
the
chat
for
everyone,
but
if
you
have
neighbors
that
weren't
able
to
make
it
tonight
or
can't
make
one
of
our
meetings
in
the
future,
we
will
have
all
of
the
recordings
and
all
of
the
videos
posted
online
so
that
you
can
re-watch
the
discussion.
A
Please
do
feel
free
to
use
the
chat
box
during
the
meeting.
So
travis
is
in
there
right
now
kind
of
typing
some
notes.
So
if
you
have
any
ideas,
questions
concerns.
If
you
have
a
technical
issue,
please
do
feel
free
to
use
the
raise
your
hand
button
or
our
chat
during
the
meeting,
so
that
we
can
engage
with
you
all
and
make
sure
that
we're
listening
to
your
concerns
throughout
the
meeting.
A
We
are
going
to
try
to
have
this
meeting
be
about
one
hour.
If
we
can't
get
to
your
question,
we
do
want
to
hear
from
you.
We
do
have
several
additional
meetings.
There
are
three
more
meetings
that
will
be
very
similar
in
nature,
but
please
also
do
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
us
directly.
Both
uday
and
myself
are
very
responsive
and
we
talk
with
residents
all
the
time
about
various
concerns,
so
we
do
want
to
make
sure
to
note
that
you
know
you
can
always
reach
out
to
us.
A
If
you
have
any
questions
or
concerns
before
we
go
on,
we,
we
are
kind
of
curious
who
who's
in
the
audience
here.
So
you
know
this.
This
is
a
a
general
city
public
meeting.
This
is
sort
of
geared
toward
the
northland,
but
we
know
we
have
lots
of
folks
on
the
line,
so
we
would
love
to
learn
about
who's
in
the
audience.
A
A
With
that,
I
am
going
to
go
ahead
and
turn
it
over
to
my
colleague
uday
to
kind
of
talk
through
a
little
bit
about
the
sidewalk
program.
In
the
background
about
the
program.
C
Good
evening,
everyone
thank
you
for
joining
us
this
evening,
so
just
giving
you
an
background
of
the
sidewalk
program
and
where
we
are
so
back
in
2017
when
the
bond
was
passed.
One
of
the
first
questions
was:
how
are
we
going
to
address
with
the
bond
money
which
was
passed
so
streets,
bridges
and
sidewalks
were
the
three
main
criteria
of
this
and
over
the
span
of
20
years
we
were
looking
at
150
million
that
that's
what
the
city
has
identified
so
prior
to
2017.
C
C
So
we
are,
as
I
mentioned,
we
it's
150
million
over
20
years
so
and
it's
almost
like
seven
and
a
half
million
per
year,
and
that
seven
and
a
half
million
per
year
is
broadly
classified
into
two
categories.
One
is
an
ada
program,
so
we
have
a
settlement
with
department
of
justice
to
make
sure
all
the
ramps
around
the
corners
are
accessible.
C
So
two
and
a
half
million
in
this
program
goes
to
repairing
and
addressing
the
accessibility
issues
throughout
the
city.
So
there
is
a
list
of
corners
around
intersections
which
we
keep
addressing.
C
So
if
there
is
something
new,
please
let
us
know
we'll
add
it
to
the
list
and
we'll
address
it
as
we
get
along
and
with
the
5
million
per
year
in
the
sidewalk
program,
it
is
classified
mainly
into
four
different
categories.
Again,
as
directed
by
our
city
council.
Our
first
priority
was
to
finish
all
the
spot,
repairs
which
were
three
one
ones
reported
between
2008
and
2016..
C
We
initially
started
with
just
addressing
that
property
who's.
Who
was
who
reported
the
3-1-1,
but
we
thought
this
is
not
the
right
idea
and
we
were
addressing
any
issue
within
that
block,
so
we
are
continuing
to
do
that.
Overall,
we
have
like
350
blocks.
Each
block
is
an
intersection
from
one
intersection
to
another
on
both
sides
of
the
street.
If
sidewalk
exists
and
we
are
around
around
2
8
to
250
to
280
as
of
today,
which
we
have
completed,
we
anticipate
based
on
the
current
funding
in
the
next
couple
of
years
by
2025.
C
All
these
backlog
will
be
addressed
moving
forward
like
what.
What
are
we
going
to
do
after
we
address
the
backlog
I'll
address
that
in
a
later
stage,
but
we
are
going
to
move
with
the
maintenance
priority
and
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
that.
But
when
we
pass
the
bond,
the
city
didn't
have
an
inventory
of
where
the
sidewalks
are.
What
are
the
conditions?
So
we
are.
We
have
done
a
lot
of
inspections
and
we
are
continuing
to
do
that.
C
We
almost
did
like
thousand
centerline
miles
of
sidewalk
inspections
to
know
the
condition
of
them.
So
we
are
we.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
do
that
until
we
inspect
the
entire
city.
There
is
also
a
pi
act
match
fund.
I'm
not
sure
if
everyone
heard
about
payat
payak
is
a
public
infrastructure
advisory
committee.
C
So
each
year
from
the
sales
tax,
one
percent
of
it
goes
throughout
all
council
districts
and
each
council
district
has
a
pool
of
projects
which
they
can
fund.
It's
usually
around
four
million
dollars
per
year,
which
is
in
the
public
right
of
it.
So
anyone
can
submit
the
application
and
once
it
is
reviewed
it
is
funded,
projects
are
done
and
the
last
one
is
special
in
initiatives.
So
we
started
to
pilot
programs
I'll
talk
a
little
bit
about
that
as
well.
Next
slide.
C
C
C
It
is
a
good
practice,
but
if
you
are
looking
at
the
entire
city,
we
won't
be
able
to
reach
the
entire
city,
fixing
all
the
sidewalk
issues.
So
what
we
have
come
up
with
is
we
are
trying
to
use
some
low
cost
techniques,
and
that
is
the
picture
which
shows
you.
There
was
a
tripping
hazard
before
and
then
we
used
a
specialized
technique
where
we
cut
this
concrete
and
make
sure
it
is
ada
compliant,
but
also
remove
the
tripping
hazard.
C
So
it's
almost
like
eight
times
the
return
of
investment
compared
to
replacing
them,
which
is
like
twice
so
this
one
of
our
pilot
pro
projects
and
the
next.
The
next
pilot
pro
project
mag-
if
you
wanna,
do
the
next
yeah
we
have
lot
of
trees,
especially
in
older
neighborhoods,
and
a
lot
of
a
lot
of
sidewalk
issues
are
because
the
trees
heave
the
sidewalks.
C
So
previously
we
had
only
two
options:
either
go
around
the
tree
or
kill
the
tree.
We
don't.
We
necessarily
don't
want
to
kill
the
tree,
but
we
also
want
to
make
sure
we
don't
create
hazardous
part.
So
we
have
partnered
with
umkc
university
of
missouri,
kansas
city
rubberway,
the
guys
who
develop
the
product
and
a
construction
company
gunter,
and
we
chose
a
test
location.
C
As
you
can
see,
there
was
a
big
tree
here,
there's
a
big
tree
and
it
heated
up
the
sidewalk,
so
we
removed
the
sidewalk
and
we
poured
the
rubberized
material
over
the
tree.
So
this
is
eco-friendly.
C
It
allows
breathability
for
the
trees,
so
the
trees
will
be
still
alive
and
then
it
will
also
have
the
opportunity
for
people
to
walk
near
the
trees.
So
this
is
something
we
are
looking
at.
We
already
implemented
it.
We
are
going
to
give
an
ear
and
see
the
results
from
umkc
based
on
feasibility
and
sustainability,
and
we
may
implement
it
throughout
the
city.
We
don't
know
yet.
A
And
I
would
just
add
to
what
peter
was
saying
to
just
emphasize
sort
of
the
importance
of
public
works
in
the
city
trying
out
and
testing
out
these
new
materials
and
new
techniques,
because
I
think
we're
always
looking
for
innovative
ways
to
save
costs,
to
make
our
repairs
go
further
and
longer,
and
so
it's
very
exciting
that
you
know
this
is
something
that
we're
able
to
try
out
and
we're
literally
testing.
It
right
now
hope
to
know
more
later
this
summer
or
fall
about
what
you
know.
A
Some
of
these
materials
are
going
to
be
allowing
us
to
do
across
the
city,
so
just
wanted
to
emphasize
that
it's
something
we're
very
excited
about
and
definitely
open
to
trying
new
ideas
in
at
the
city
to
make
sure
that
we
can
repair
sidewalks
in
all
areas
and
overcome
some
of
the
challenges
like
like
tree
roots.
D
D
The
city
worked
with
residents
and
community
leaders
to
develop
a
list
of
characteristics
to
identify
the
most
important
sidewalks
by
following
the
best
practices
of
other
cities
for
similar
programs
and
shaping
those
to
fit
the
kansas
city's
unique
needs.
The
final
system
was
adopted
with
that
in
place.
The
city
was
able
to
take
the
4
000
miles
of
sidewalks
in
the
city
and
classify
them
to
a
certain
priority
level
for
each
sidewalk
next
slide.
D
D
D
D
D
Some
of
the
field
reviews
have
been
completed
by
reviewers,
walking
the
sidewalks
and
just
noting
all
of
the
repaired
needs,
but
each
team
came
up
with
a
unique
way.
My
team
actually
used
the
segway,
which
is
shown
in
the
picture
here
and
that's
a
segway
with
equipment
attached
to
it.
So
as
they
ride
down
the
sidewalk,
it
picks
up
data
as
far
as
repairs
and
bumps
cracks.
Things
like
that.
D
We
came
up
with
a
data
protocol
for
the
city's
gis
so
that
when
uday
goes
through
and
looks
at
the
data,
it's
all
consistent
and
the
city
required
formal
quality
control
checks
after
the
first
25
miles
of
each
of
these
systems,
so
that
it
was
a
consistent
product,
inconsistent
assessment
and
then
again
at
the
end
of
the
data
collection.
When
the
data
was
submitted,
there
was
a
formal
quality
control
check
to
just
make
sure
everyone
was
on
the
same
page
and
that
improved
the
the
quality
of
the
finished
product
next
slide.
D
D
In
addition,
curbs
for
the
street
were
reviewed
for
condition.
Definitely
if
there
was
a
ponding
issue,
we
recorded
that
and
finally
trees
that
were
within
a
few
feet
of
the
sidewalk.
D
D
This
is
normal.
This
happens
when
you've
got
different,
coordinate
systems
in
play,
but
you
can
actually
see
where,
on
your
street
or
even
in
front
of
your
house,
sidewalk
repair
locations
were
noted
and
that
interactive
map
is
part
of
the
public
engagement
for
this
program.
And
now
we'll
highlight
that
effort
in
more
detail
with
trivis.
A
And
really
really
quick
before
we
turn
it
to
travis.
If
I
could
just
add
really
quick
here
that
sort
of
the
importance
of
this
data
collection.
Before
we
had
the
diobond
sidewalk
program,
we
did
not
have
an
inventory
of
the
conditions
of
the
sidewalks
and,
as
you
can
imagine,
through
john
kind
of
talking,
through
what
we're.
Looking
at
all
of
the
details,
all
the
nooks
and
crannies
of
our
sidewalks.
A
That
information
is
critical
for
us
to
know
how
to
prioritize
our
repairs
and
so
just
wanted
to
mention
that
that,
in
part,
because
of
the
voters
approving
the
gio
bond,
we
are
able
to
get
this
inventory
of
our
sidewalk
conditions,
which
is
a
huge
huge
help
to
us
in
informing
our
project
list.
So
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
quickly
at
the
end,
but
travis
will
turn
it
over
to.
C
I'm
gonna
add
one
more
thing:
sorry
trevis.
There
have
been
couple
of
questions
that
we
don't
see,
not
don't
see
a
lot
of
spots
on
the
northland,
so
you
can
see
on
the
map.
We
only
covered
less
than
one
third
of
the
city
so
far
so
based
on
the
budget
we
have
and
based
on
the
time
we
we
have
so
far,
we
are
inspecting
in
parts,
so
northland
everything
will
be
inspected
in
the
next
four
years
or
so
and
remaining
part
of
the
city
which
is
not
inspected
as
well.
E
Maggie,
how
about
okay?
There
we
go,
so
we
have
lots
of
time
to
work
on
this
or
there's
more
time.
You
can
expect
more
conversation,
matt
maggie
and
you
day
have
been
to
over
50
meetings
talking
to
people
about
sidewalks
and
listening
to
you
all
concerns,
and
so
we
had
public
meetings.
There's
been
phone
calls
emails
in
the
chat
right
now
you
can
email
you
day.
His
email
address
is
in
there
when
you
have
issues
and
concerns,
but
we
were
doing
we've
been
doing
that
for
a
couple
of
years
on
the
next
slide.
E
It
shows
just
a
bit
about
some
of
the
comments
that
we
got.
So
what
you're
seeing
is
the
sampling
is
not
intended
to
be
a
comprehensive
overview
of
everything
that
we've
heard,
but
we
just
wanted
to
pull
out
some
things
really
when
we
were
going
through
our
engagement
effort
a
couple
of
years
ago.
There
are
a
lot
of
questions.
Questions
about.
E
E
We've
got
a
pilot
program
that
has
to
do
with
what
to
do
with
the
trees
and
the
sidewalks,
and
at
the
time
when
we
were
doing
engagement,
we
had
community
members
who
brought
photos
to
the
meeting
about
how
the
trees
are
impacting
some
of
the
sidewalks
and
sometimes
it's
about
removing
the
trees.
Sometimes
it's
about
just
trimming
it
back.
So
there
were
some
concerns
and
questions
at
that
time.
E
We
also
had
questions
about.
Where
is
sidewalk,
inspection
and
repair
going
to
happen
in
relationship
to
the
bond?
We
heard
feedback
and
comments
about
getting
information
out
early
so
that
people
have
lots
of
time
to
participate
and
give
their
feedback.
We
keep
updating
the
sidewalk
website
and
the
link
to
that
is
in
the
chat
to
let
people
know
where
we
are
with
the
project
and
try
to
share
our
information
there,
as
well
as
well
as
having
more
than
one
meeting
and
being
available
for
more
meetings.
When
you
need
them.
E
People
are
asking
about
how
long
the
inspection
process
is
going
to
take,
and
you
just
outlined
that
we'll
be
at
this.
For
a
few
more
years,
there
were
comments
about
whether
or
not
we
would
have
interactive
reporting
and
so
again
that
map
that
john
showed
and
maggie-
and
you
they
were
talking
about-
will
help
with
some
of
that.
E
There
were
some
concern
also
about
when
the
bond
is
out.
What
are
we
going
to
do
about
funding?
I
think
the
slide
that
you
day
showed
earlier,
which
is
also
on
the
sidewalk
website
home,
to
address
that
some
of
the
bigger
comments
and
overall
concerns
that
people
had
had
to
do
with
how
we
reach
priority,
and
how
do
we
come
up
with
a
conversation
related
to
equity,
as
we
think
about
sidewalks?
E
E
There
there's
also
lower
life
expectancy,
and
so
the
public
excuse
not
public
works,
but
the
parks
and
recreation
department
received
a
grant
to
work
on
that
and
they
work
with
neighborhoods,
which
also
involved
umkc,
to
do
some
park,
centric
plans
for
those
areas
to
think
about
how
we
can
improve
recreation
and
improve
health
outcomes
in
those
communities
that
same
time,
there's
an
equity
component
there,
because
there's
concern.
Why
did
those
zip
codes
have
that
issue?
E
So
there
are
a
lot
of
there's
a
lot
of
concern
about
balance
and
fairness
and
meeting
people
where
they
are
and
the
community
a
couple
years
ago-
and
I
know
people
are
still
interested
in
it-
now
really
have
that
equity
focus.
The
comprehensive
plan
has
an
equity
lens
that
everything
is
being
looked
at,
so
if
you
all
have
been
to
the
mobility
or
the
livability
or
the
serviceability
meetings
related
to
the
comprehensive
plan,
you
would
hear
that
too.
E
C
Yep,
thank
you
travis.
So
as
as
maggie
and
travis
and
john
were
saying,
we
were
out
from
2019,
we
have
been
meeting
a
lot
of
people,
we
took
all
the
feedback
and
we
went
back
to
our
management,
director,
shaw
and
transportation,
director
jason
and
then
internally
we
had
this
discussion
and-
and
we
even
talked
to
city
council
and
the
the
what
you
are
seeing
right
now
on
the
screen
is
based
on
that
discussion.
Based
on
your
feedback
like
hey,
there
are
certain
things
which
are
missing.
C
C
So,
between
april
from
this
year,
there
will
be
12
community
engagements,
one
virtual
one
person
in
each
council
district
and
then
we
are
going
to
take
that
feedback
and
incorporate
in
this
process
and
come
up
with
a
new
construction
priority
matrix
and
that
will
drive
the
next
one.
Five
and
ten
year
plans
starting
2025
there'll,
be
some
like.
C
We
have
to
look
into
constructability
as
well,
because
we
want
some
shovel
ready
projects
as
well,
so
the
priority
may
change,
but
all
these
factors
will
be
will
be
considered
with
coming
up
with
the
new
comprehensive
plan.
So
yourself
who
have
attended
the
meeting,
your
friends,
your
community,
we
strongly
encourage
and
recommend
to
join
those
meetings
as
well
was
your
concerns
because,
as
you
see
it
is
your
input
will
be
a
major
factor
in
identifying
the
locations
where
sidewalk
needs
to
be
repaired,
put
in
new
sidewalks
but
connect
one
community
with
another.
A
And
if
I
could
just
add,
really
quick
here
that
that
we
are
very
excited
to
have
a
lot
of
upcoming
opportunities
to
continue
to
to
hear
your
feedback
and
your
neighbors
feedback,
and
so
tonight
is
one
of
those
nights
definitely
and
we're
we're
here
to
have
that
discussion.
But
there
also
will
be
these
additional
chances
this
summer,
spring
and
summer
to
continue
the
conversation.
A
So
we
will
be
posting
more
information
on
our
avenues
at
the
city
about
these
upcoming
meetings,
but
wanted
to
give
you
all
just
an
update
here
and
a
preview
that
this
is
coming
down
the
pipeline
very
soon.
We're
we're
excited
to
continue
the
process.
C
I'm
gonna
address
one
of
the
questions.
I
think
mr
steve
is
saying
that
so
the
inspection
program
which
we
are
doing
right
now
is
throughout
the
city.
We
had
to
pick
a
starting
point
and
based
on
the
priority
which
was
decided
earlier,
that's
where
we
started,
but
if
you
think
your
neighborhood,
your
sidewalks
needs
an
inspection,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
I
can
we
can
schedule
a
meeting
and
we
can
walk
through
and
identify
the
inspections
of
the
sidewalks.
C
And
having
said
that,
as
I
said,
our
next
step
is
have
these:
have
these
12
meetings
come
up
with
a
comprehensive
sidewalk
plan
and
it
will
be
adopted
by
the
city
council
next
year.
We
will
continue
our
inspections
for
the
next
four
or
five
years,
but
in
the
meantime,
we'll
try
to
finish
the
backlog,
which
is
the
three
one
ones
reported
between
2008
and
2016..
A
Okay,
so,
while
we're
here,
we're
gonna
switch
gears
slightly,
but
this
is
definitely
related
to
the
city's
mobility
and
and
access
goals
and
making
sure
that
we
have
safe
and
accessible
infrastructure
for
everyone.
So
we've
just
got
like
two
more
slides
and
then
we'll
open
it
up
for
ample
discussion
on
on
everything
that
we've
chatted
about
this
evening.
But
we
wanted
to
talk
just
briefly
about
our
vision,
zero
initiative
and
sort
of
the
importance
of
this
work
in
its
relation
to
pedestrian
safety,
and
you
know
access
and
safe
infrastructure
with
sidewalks.
A
So
we
we've
had
a
pretty
significant
and
alarming
increase
in
traffic
crashes
in
kansas
city
over
the
last
10
years.
So
over
the
last
decade,
our
fatal
crashes
have
increased
42
percent,
so
fatal
traffic
crashes
have
increased
42
percent
over
the
last
10
years.
That's
extremely
alarming
crashes
that
have
had
serious
injuries
have
increased
25
percent
over
the
last
10
years,
so
those
numbers
are
are
pretty
concerning
to
us
to
our
council
members
to
our
community
members
and
so
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
our
city
council
passed
an
ordinance.
A
A
policy
called
vision,
zero,
and
that
is
a
sort
of
a
nation
international
movement
to
really
look
at
the
way
that
we
design
and
enforce
and
engage
around
our
streets,
making
sure
that
they're,
safe
and
accessible
for
everyone
who's
using
them.
So,
whether
you're
in
a
a
walker,
a
wheelchair,
taking
the
bus
riding
your
bike,
driving
a
vehicle
or
walking
to
get
where
you're
going.
A
It
really
is
sort
of
a
holistic
look
at
our
transportation
system,
making
sure
that
we
are
considering
safety
at
every
single
corner
literally,
and
so
the
things
listed
on
this
on
this
slide
here,
you
know
I'll
kind
of
walk
through
it,
because
I
know
we've
got
a
few
folks
on
the
phone
here,
but
but
our
goal
is
to
eliminate
traffic
fatalities
and
serious
injuries
over
the
next.
A
You
know
five
to
ten
years,
we're
looking
at
several
pieces,
one
of
that
being
very
data,
driven
approach
and
looking
at,
where
are
crashes
actually
happening?
Where
are
we
seeing
these
traffic
incidences?
Where
are
areas
of
concern
based
on
the
data
and
having
that
inform
where
we
do
safety
improvements?
A
We
are
looking
to
implement
and
I'll
talk
about
that
in
a
second
actual
improvements
at
intersections
and
on
neighborhood
streets,
and
that's
something
we're
hoping
to
do
very
quickly
with
low-cost
improvements
that
can
really
make
an
impact
to
make
our
streets
safer
as
soon
as
we
can
we're
also
looking
at
ways
to
reduce
our
speed
city-wide,
we
hear
a
lot
in
neighborhoods
about
the
desire
to
slow
traffic
down
on
neighborhood
streets,
for
kids,
walking
to
school
or,
for
you
know,
neighbors
out,
walking
that
cars
drive
really
fast
and
so
we're
looking
at
ways
to
reduce
speeds
and
add
traffic
calming
to
our
neighborhood
streets.
A
Our
effort
also
looks
at
how
do
we
reduce
distracted
and
impaired
driving?
You
know
things
like
people
texting
on
their
cell
phone
when
they're
driving
and
the
safety
concern
that
comes
with
that.
Looking
at
how
do
we
engage
residents
about
this
work
and
and
how
important
it
is.
A
One
way
is
we're
trying
to
tie
in
this
message
and
this
information
into
meetings
like
this,
because
we
know
that
it's
very
important
to
have
the
conversation
about
safety
on
our
streets
and
making
sure
that
we're
hearing
your
concerns
and
aware
of
areas
that
we
should
be
looking
at
in
regards
to
safety
on
our
streets
and
sidewalks,
and
then,
of
course,
like
everything,
data
is
important
and
evaluating
our
improvements.
So
we're
also
looking
at
how
do
we
evaluate
this
initiative?
A
And
how
do
we
know
that
we're
successful
when
we
start
to
look
at
some
of
these
improvements?
A
A
lot
of
this
really
as
trevis
was
speaking
about
earlier
equity
is
very
important
and
making
sure
that
we
are
prioritizing
our
improvements,
that
that
will
have
the
biggest
impact
to
the
most
of
the
need,
and
so
that's
something
that
we're
using
data
off
the
crash
information
to
really
kind
of
drive
some
of
our
improvements
this
year.
So
what
this
involves
like
what
we're
doing
with
the
vision?
Zero
program,
as
I
mentioned,
there's
pilot
projects
that
are
pretty
low
cost
high
impact
projects
you
can
see.
A
This
photo
here
is:
what's
called
a
raised,
intersection
a
raised
crosswalk,
and
so
it
looks
a
little
bit
kind
of
like
a
speed
bump.
But
it's
actually
a
crosswalk.
That's
raised
a
little
bit,
so
it's
more
visible
to
vehicles.
It's
slowing
traffic
down
on
this
neighborhood
street,
so
that's
one
small
example
on
the
street
of
a
traffic
calming
project
that
we
did
in
a
couple
of
years
ago.
So
things
like
that.
We're
looking
across
the
city
to
prioritize
some
improvements
at
our
highest
crash
locations,
our
intersections.
A
And
then
we
are
also
looking
at
neighborhood
traffic
calming
so
areas
like
like
this
on
this
neighborhood
street,
that
we
can
slow
traffic
down
and
make
it
safer
for
people
walking
and
moving
about
their
neighborhood
streets.
So
this
is
a
pretty
big
initiative.
It's
looking
at
a
lot
of
different
pieces.
A
It
definitely
pertains
to
the
way
that
we
move
around
our
city
and
making
sure
that
it's
safe
for
everyone
who
is
moving
it
around
kansas
city,
and
so
this
is
just
the
very
first
year
that
we're
doing
these
projects.
We
very
much
intend,
year
after
year
after
year,
to
come
back
with
very
similar
improvements
at
different
intersections,
so
that
we
are
making
sure
that
all
the
streets
in
kansas
city
are
safe
for
for
everyone
using
them.
So
that's
sort
of
the
the
spiel
with
vision,
zero.
C
Think
maggie
you
have
covered
it
well,
if
there
are
any
questions,
we
would
be
happy
to
answer.
A
Okay,
so
with
that
that
sort
of
wraps
up
our
formal
presentation,
but
I
do
believe
that
the
public
works
director
might
be
on
the
line,
and
I
just
wanted
to
acknowledge
director
shock
he's
still
here
and
see
if
he
wanted
to
jump
in
and
add
anything
for
the
group
this
evening.
E
I
didn't
have
anything
to
add,
but
I
wouldn't
say
this
before
we
open
broadly
to
discussion
and
q
a
there
are
already
some
questions
in
the
chat,
so
you
might
want
to
start
there
and
then
take
any
additional
ones.
I
know
steve
had
one
about
his
neighborhood
and
what
to
do
when
you
have
really
dangerous
areas
and
it
taking
a
while,
you
know,
with
inspections
et
cetera,
to
get
to
them
in
terms
of
improvement.
C
So
if,
if
you
want
inspections
that
need
to
be
performed,
please
feel
free
to
reach
out
to
me.
I
think
I
already
received
an
email
from
joann
and
steve.
I'm
gonna
reach
out
to
you
and
we
will
schedule
something
and
we'll
look
up.
Look
at
your
neighborhood.
There
was
some
question
from
marty.
C
I
I
don't
know
about
the
two
locations
gaps.
There
is
one
project
which
will
start
this
summer
on
shorter
traffic
way
between
46th
and
47th.
So
it
will
connect
the
missing
piece
from
the
north
to
the
south,
where
our
parks
department
just
added
sidewalks,
underneath
the
bridge
for
for
the
second
gap.
If
it
is
not
on
the
list
or
the
location,
you
can
apply
for
payac
or
there
is
a
new
rebuilt
kc
grant,
which
I
think
the
due
date
is
march
22nd.
C
So
you
may
want
to
apply
for
that,
and
the
third
scenario
is,
as
we
are
doing,
the
sidewalk
comprehensive
plan
during
community
engagement.
If
you
wanna
talk
about
that,
we
will
add
it
to
our
list
and
once
we
review,
we
can
get
back
to
you.
So
those
are
the
three
avenues
you
have
if
a
sidewalk
is
missing
or
you
need
new
sidewalks.
C
I
think
address
steve's
question.
Yes,
renee
if
I
spelled
the
name
right
yeah,
yes,
even
if
you
have
no
sidewalks
curbs
or
gutters
it
doesn't
matter
in
the
sidewalk
comprehensive
plan.
We
are
going
to
consider
everything.
We
are
looking
at
mobility
for
people
from
one
point
to
another
and
if
you
don't
have
sidewalk
that
will
be
still
considered.
A
So
at
this
point,
if,
if
folks
have
additional
questions,
feel
free
to
keep
using
the
chat,
you
can
also
raise
your
hand,
and
I
know
that
we
have
a
few
folks
joined
by
the
phone
who
don't
have
access
to
the
chat.
So
if
anyone
who's
joining
by
phone
would
like
to
chime
in
with
any
comment
or
question,
we
would
love
to
have
you
time
in.

G
In
a
little
bit
late,
so
I
listened
to
your
presentation
before
I
was
able
to
get
on
my
computer,
so
I
may
ask
something
that
was
already
presented,
so
I
apologize
so
the
process
to.
I
guess
I
need
to
have
the
sidewalk
inspected
in
my
neighborhood
first
to
get
on
the
list
is
that.
D
C
C
G
I
have
I've
applied
for
pi
extending
for
each
of
the
last
four
years
and
have
been
denied
each
year.
We
get
the
rejection
letter
back
every
time,
so
I've
tried
that
avenue
and
have
not
been
successful
to
this
point.
A
Sure
and
payet
is
a
pretty
competitive
process,
so
it's
it's
definitely
one
option,
but
it's
it's
not
always
successful
for
neighborhoods
and
residents,
so
we
definitely
want
to
mention
it
as
an
option,
but
it's
we
hear
what
you
just
described
a
lot
too,
that
neighborhoods
have
have
applied
year
after
year,
unsuccessfully
because
it
is
such
a
competitive
process.
What
I
would
say
is
is,
please
do
take
a
look
at
casimo.gov
rebuild
casey.
A
That
info
is
also
in
the
chat
as
well.
It
is
a
new
grant.
The
application's,
like
one
page,
it's
designed
to
really
focus
on
neighborhood
projects
that
will
sort
of
help
with
connectivity
and
and
create
you
know
more
vibrant
neighborhoods.
A
We
do
have
we're
looking,
I
think,
about
10
million
dollars
for
that
grant
project
this
year,
and
so
there
is
an
open
application
right
now
for
the
next
couple
of
weeks
march.
22Nd,
as
uday
said,
is
the
deadline,
so
that
would
be
for
sidewalks
or
any
other
sort
of
neighborhood
improvement
that
your
neighborhood's
wanting
to
to
look
at
is
definitely
an
option
to
pursue.
That's
a
very
unique,
very
timely,
grant
open
right
now,
so
we
would
encourage
you
to
look
at
that
option
too.
A
G
Me
that
address
again
kcmo.gov.
What
was
what
rest
of
it.
A
K-C-Mo
gov,
slash,
rebuild
kc
and
the
applications
linked
right
there
and
we
purpose
purposefully,
designed
the
application
to
be
pretty
straightforward
and
easy
to
apply,
knowing
that
lots
of
residents
and
neighborhoods
would
want
to
access
it.
I
think
we've
had
close
to
300
applications
so
far,
ranging
from
community
improvements
to
training
programs
to
nuisance
abatement.
So
there's
lots
of
different
categories
of
people
asking
for
improvements
in
their
neighborhood
so
definitely
want
to
put
a
plug
in
for
that
resource.
Since
it's
available
right
now,.
G
Okay,
thank
you
maggie
and
thank
you
all
for
facilitating
this
and
hopefully
getting
it
all
put
together
appreciate
it.
Thank
you.
A
So
we
do
have
about
ten
minutes
until
seven
and
we
are
completely
fine
to
stay
here
for
the
next
ten
minutes.
So
please
do
feel
free
to
chime
in.
If
you
have
additional
thoughts,
concerns
comments.
You'd
like
to
share
with
us
today.
A
And
yes,
as
folks,
decide
to
to
pop
off
the
meeting.
We
just
do
want
to
thank
everyone
for
joining
us
tonight.
We'll
stay
on
for
a
few
more
minutes
in
case
anyone
thinks
of
a
last-minute
question
or
or
comment.
But
we
do
want
to
thank
everyone
for
your
time
this
evening
and
also
please
remember
that
this
is
recorded,
we'll
put
it
on
our
website
and
if
you
have
any
other,
neighbors
or
friends
or
family.
A
That
would
like
to
join
the
conversation,
we're
doing
a
very
similar
meeting
next
tuesday
march,
8th
again
on
march
15th
and
then
finally,
our
last
one
on
march
26th,
so
plenty
of
opportunities
to
to
join
the
conversation
and
help
us
spread.
The
word
for
sure.
A
For
those
that
are
still
on
the
meeting,
if
you
have
any
thoughts
or
or
ideas
about
the
meeting
format,
we
would
love
to
hear
about
that
as
well.
If
there
was
anything
that
we
missed
or
we
needed
to
cover
in
more
depth
or
an
explanation
that
you
needed
and
didn't
get,
we
would
love
to
have
your
feedback
about
the
meeting
format
as
well
as
we
look
to
improve
for
the
next
couple.
Meetings
coming
up.
E
A
I'll
go
first,
I
think
shouldn't
have
been
surprising,
but
it
was
is
that
sidewalks
are
a
priority
in
every
corner
of
the
neighborhood.
It's
a
it's
just
such
a
basic
piece
of
our
infrastructure
and
it's
an
important
thing.
Basic
access
to
two
sidewalks
is
so
important
in
every
corner
of
the
city,
so
that'd
be
one
part
of
it,
but
the
the
needs
for
our
sidewalk
system
is
very
different
depending
on
what
part
of
the
city
you're
in
so
as
folks
describe
tonight.
Sometimes
there
are
areas
where
there
were
no
sidewalks.
A
The
neighborhoods
were
built
without
the
sidewalks
without
curbs
and
gutter
in
other
areas
of
the
town,
the
center
city
part.
You
know
the
infrastructure
is
older,
and
so
it's
literally
crumbling
or
you
know,
trees
are
heaving
up
the
sidewalk.
So
it
definitely
says
to
us
that
our
approach
needs
to
be
specific
and
intentional
based
on
the
different
areas
of
the
city
and
that's
something
I
hope
you
know
we're
looking
forward
to
having
that
discussion
with
these
public
meetings
coming
up.
C
Yeah
for
me
trevis
the
magnitude
of
the
problem.
I
don't
think
we
anticipated.
C
E
I
said:
do
you
have
thoughts
about
maybe
something
that
surprised
you,
but
from
the
inspection
standpoint,
because
you
all
were
out
there
on
segways
and
others
trying
to
compile
data
and
bring
it
all
together,
you're,
seeing
a
lot
of
things
firsthand?
Is
there
anything
that
surprised
you
about
what
you
saw.
D
Well,
something
that's
always
been
an
issue
folks
that
use
wheelchairs
a
lot
of
times
will
prefer
to
go
into
the
street
rather
than
to
try
to
go
down
a
sidewalk,
because
once
you
get
to
a
sidewalk
ramp
and
you
look
down
the
street,
you
may
not
be
able
to
tell
that
there's
an
issue
halfway
down.
That's
going
to
stop
you
and
cause
you
to
go
back
around
so,
unfortunately,
there's
a
lot
of
folks
that
take
the
wheelchairs
out
into
the
street
just
because
they
know
that's
going
to
be
a
smoother
surface.
D
D
E
And
we
have
four
minutes
to
go
maggie.
E
Criteria
can
be
used
to
develop
projects
and
the
way
that
that
resonator
does
not
resonate
with
community
members
and
the
way
that
they
actively
get
involved.
It's
not
surprising.
It's
heartening.
I
think
it's
awesome
in
the
way
that
this
is
really
important
for
people.
It's
in
my
neighborhood.
We
have
sidewalks,
but
today
I
was
in
the
center
of
the
city,
and
I
was
walking
and
the
sidewalks
ran
out
and
we
were
at
a
location
that
is
meant
to
draw
people.
E
The
crossings
were
crazy.
There
were
a
lot
of
things
that
looking
at
an
aerial
photo
driving
by
it,
you're
not
going
to
have
the
experience
it
just
really
drove
home.
The
importance
of
sidewalks,
also
the
the
importance
associated
with
just
having
a
well-kept
community
and
well-kept
routes,
not
having
trash
along
the
route
that
you're
walking
on
in
addition
to
having
the
sidewalk
and
then
what
happens
if
you're,
walking
and
you're
on
the
edge
of
something
is
there
a
retaining
wall
there
or
not?
E
A
Well,
with
that
we're
at
6
58,
I
think
I
will
officially
close
out
the
meeting
for
the
purposes
of
the
recording,
thanks
again
to
everyone
who
joined
us
this
evening
for
a
great
discussion.
We
appreciate
everyone's
feedback
and
comments
and
concerns,
and
just
an
overall
great
great
meeting
and
and
appreciate
everyone's
willingness
to
listen
and
contribute.
So
next
up
is
the
meeting
on
mark
march,
8th
next
tuesday
we're
looking
forward
to
it.
Thank
you
and
please
do
feel
free
to
reach
out
for
any
additional
questions.
Thank
you.
