That's

or
the
streets
department
fiscal
year.
Twenty
seventeen
operating
budget,
the
streets
department,
looks
forward
to
this
upcoming
fiscal
year
as
we
embark
on
a
number
of
new
strategic
objectives
and
continue
our
exceptional
standard
of
servicing,
providing
clean,
green
and
safe
streets
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
B
To
achieve
our
goals,
we
request
a
general
fund
appropriation
of
125
million,
five
hundred
sixty
thousand
one
hundred
and

Twenty
seventeen.
The
department
delivers
a
number
of
services
that
are
critical
to
maintaining
public
health
and
safety
in
our
communities.
These
essential
services
include,
but
are
not
limited
to
curbside
trash
and
recycling
collection
for
over
five
hundred,
forty
thousand
households,
maintaining
all
traffic
control
devices
and
street
lighting.
B
The
construction
and
maintenance
of
320
bridges,
2225
miles
of
streets
and
world
way
also
snow
and
ice
removal.
The
streets
department,
streets
department,
employees
have
done
an
outstanding
job
during
recent
years,
fulfilling
our
mission
despite
significant
changes,
including
an
aging
transportation,
infrastructure
of
volatile
recycling,
market
uncertainty
in
state
and
federal
funding
and
an
aging
vehicle
fleet.
This
year
alone,
we
continue
to
maintain
our
curbside
recycling
rate
and
tonnage
at
historically
high
levels.
B
Our
anti-litter
and
community
engagement
efforts,
including
Philly
spring
cleanup
and
Philadelphia,
more
beautiful,
have
yielded
unprecedented
volunteers
and
cleaned
up
and
unprecedented
cleanup
project
citywide
and
our
special
public
events.
Cleaning
efforts
were
particularly
highlighted
during
the
department's
exceptional
work
as
part
of
the
papal
visit
and
the
Villanova
parading
cleanup.
We
also
continue
to
embark
on
strikes
that
we
hope
will
create
a
safer
and
more
efficient,
multimodal
municipal
transportation
that
work
for
all
users
of
the
public
right
away.
Maintaining
the
momentum
of
the
last
several
years.
B
Multiple,
multiple
and
very
projects
are
underway
to
improve
traffic
safety,
expand
alternative
transportation
modes
for
bicyclists
pedestrians
and
manage
traffic
throughout
the
city.
Our
state-of-the-art
traffic
operations
center
opened
this
past
fall.
Establishing
the
city
first
centralized
and
integrated
traffic
control
system,
and
we
are
continuing
our
ambitious
plan
to
modernize
the
city-owned
streets,
alley
lights
and
also
upgrade
with
energy-efficient
LED
lighting
this
winter,
the
streets,
department,
employees
and
partnership
with
those
in
other
City
departments
and
agencies
historically
manage
the
historic
blizzard
of
2016
we
drop.
B
We
would
drop
nearly
two
feet
of
snow
on
the
Philadelphia
air
during
the
mayor's
third
week
in
office,
all
primary
streets
and
nearly
eighty
percent
of
all
residential
streets
were
cleared
within
24
hours
of
the
end
of
the
storm.
The
government
stayed
open
through
the
regular
business
hours
on
Friday
january
twenty.
Second,
when
the
storm
initially
arrived,
the
government
stayed
open
throughout
the
business
day
and
was
one
of
the
fur
and
was
the
first
major
city
over
for
business.
On
monday.
B
The
department
has
a
number
of
critical
strategic
priorities:
plan
for
fiscal
2017
city
streets
and
world
waves.
What's
been
repaved
and
maintain
an
optimal
life
cycle
interval
in
order
to
maintain
a
local
street
network
in
a
state
of
good
repair.
The
department
is
therefore
embarking
on
a
long-term
plan
to
significantly
increase
paving
over
the
next
several
years.
The
department
is
also
engaged
in
a
strategic
approach
to
the
city's
overall,
safe
and
Complete
Streets
transportation
network
that
includes
significant
infrastructure
improvements
and
multimodal
and
comprehensive
focus
on
traffic,
pedestrian
and
bicycle
safety.
B
The
work
performed
directly
reflects
the
mayor
vision
of
zero
fatalities
by
implementing
traffic
calming
and
redesign
measures
to
prevent
speeding,
provides
greater
refuge
to
vulnerable
pedestrians
and
bicyclists
and
focuses
on
the
most
dangerous
parts
of
the
city's
transportation
network.
The
use
of
LED
lighting
to
enhance
visibility
and
increase
traffic
safety
and
create
a
sense
of
overall
Public
Safety
is
a
significant
component
of
this
overall
effort
on
the
sanitation
side
streets
is
implementing
a
major
recycling
initiative
targeting
residential
multifamily
structures.
We're
recycling
participation
has
traditionally
been
a
challenge.
B
The
initiative
will
include
a
citywide
will
include
a
citywide
outreach
and,
having
particular
focus
on
the
lower
performing
recycling
neighborhoods
throughout
the
city.
We
believe
this
initiative
will
significantly
increase
recycling
participation
during
the
city's
solid
waste
screaming
only
this
time
when
overall
recycling
market
is
stabilizing
and
as
a
result,
we
want
to
greatly
reduce
the
amount
of
refuse
in
the
city,
solid
waste
stream.
B
The
department
also
plans
to
conduct
a
feasibility
study
on
organics
as
part
of
the
recycling
efforts
and
to
expand
the
availability
and
use
of
larger
capacity
recycling
bins,
with
the
intent
of
adding
more
recyclable
material.
Our
department
hasn't
bought
and
has
a
remarkable
track
record
of
consistently
delivering
exceptional
levels
of
sanitation
and
transportation
service.
We
will
move
forward
towards
the
strategic
objectives
I
have
just
outlined,
with
the
confidence
derived
from
our
accomplishments
and
history
of
outstanding
service.
We
thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
testify
before
you
today.
A
You,
commissioner-
and
let
me
first
say
I
most
people
I
talked
to
they
certainly
agree
with
me.
I
think
your
department
did
a
great
job
and
that's
no
removal
I
mean
that
was
a
one
of
the
biggest
snow
storms.
I
think
we
had
and
the
streets
were
cleared.
I
think
you
know
very
promptly
and
the
city,
as
you
said,
the
city
is
back
running
quicker
than
I
thought
it's
going
to
be,
and
I
think
you
all
did
a
great
job
with
that.
Thank.
A
A
B
A
Always
are
in
ponoka,
alright
sounds
good.
Just
a
couple,
quick
questions
and
I
know.
Councilman
tom
has
some
questions
on
Street
repair
on
resurfacing
and
I
know:
there's
steps
that
su-mil.
Then
you
cut
around
the
utility
boxes
or
whatever,
and
then
you
pay
or
resurface
we
get
a
lot
of
calls
about.
It
seems
that
it
takes
a
fairly
long
time
on
some
streets.
Do
we
did
some
check
in
on
other
cities
and
at
least
we're
told
if
we're
being
told
the
truth,
that
New
York
Boston,
you
know
cities
like
that.
A
It
only
takes
a
couple
weeks
or
the
whole
process
to
be
fair,
I
think
I've
seen
it
take
least
in
my
neighborhood
about
six
to
eight
weeks
for
the
total.
Have
you
looked
at
ways
to
try
to
quicken
that
pace
a
little
bit
because
it
you
know
it's
sometimes
difficult
for
cars
to
travel
on
those
Mill
Street.
Sorry,
sir
yeah
there's.
B
A
C
A
C
B
C
Go
back
and
take
care
of
the
little
details
without
creating
a
street
or
block
that
was
ready
to
pave
until
everything
was
done.
So
we've
been
in
conversations
with
those
contractors,
we've
asked
them
to
provide
us
a
constant
stream
of
blocks
that
are
ready
to
pave
this
season,
and
so
far
they've
been
agreeable
when
we've
seen
that
the
amount
that
they're
prepping
for
us,
so
that
we
can
come
back
and
finish
the
paving
and
put
the
line
striping
is
coming
in
the
stream.
C
C
Thus
far
this
year,
our
average
is
about
seven
or
eight
days,
and
this
last
period
we
had
a
little
bit
of
a
bump
with
the
weather,
but
we
were
still
able
to
on
average
to
get
it
done
in
about
ten
days.
So
we
understand
that
there
was
an
issue
last
year,
we're
doing
everything
we
can
now
to
make
sure
that
that
does
not
recur.
Okay,.
A
I
appreciate
that,
because
I
said
we
that
was
something,
and
since
it
was
in
my
neighborhood
I
had
a
lot
whole
lot
of
people
tell
me
they
knew
where
to
find
me
just
one
more
thing
on
this.
Is
the
council
presidents
question
as
far
as
utility
ditches
fixing
plumber
stitches
I?
Guess
it's
the
best
way
to
say
at
what
coordination
is
there
with
either
utilities
or
say
a
private
plumber
to
know
they've
dug
up
the
street
and
and
how
does
that
work?
C
So
we
have
we've
had
similar
issues
because
of
the
volume
homework
this
going
on,
The
Situation's
a
little
bit
different
from
the
plumbers
and
the
utilities.
The
utilities
work
with
the
streets
department
and
typically
they're
involved
in
doing
a
temporary
restoration,
in
which
case
we'll
come
back
into
a
permanent
restoration
when
their
work
is
complete,
similar
with
the
plumbers
as
well.
C
One
of
the
things
that
we're
trying
to
do
in
order
to
fix
that
situation,
as
well
as
coordinating
with
the
water
department
right
and
so
what
they've
agreed
to
do
is
to
see
if
they
can
have
inspectors
out
in
the
field
to
make
sure
that
the
connections
are
good
and
those
inspectors
can
also
keep
us
informed
to
make
sure
that
that
temporary
restorations
adequate
when
we
need
to
come
back
or
if
we
need
to
come
back
and
do
more
work
or
get
after
the
plumbers.
Okay,.
A
That's
what
I
was
thinking
because
they're
at
least
I
supposed
to
take
out
a
permit
with
the
water
department
so
that
the
water
department
and
streets
department
communicate.
Maybe
that
can
can
move
things
along
again.
Is
there
a
time
frame
when
you
first
get
a
complaint?
I
guess
it
depends
on
the
on
the
issue,
how
long
it
takes
to
fix
a
plumber
stitch.
C
Okay,
so
we
try
and
get
back
within
45
days
from
the
permits
issue.
You
know
we
can
respond
to
these
things
as
they're
coming
in
as
311
calls
as
well.
So
sometimes
the
time
frame
is
a
little
bit
tighter.
If
it's
something
that's
supposed
to
have
been
taking
care
of
them,
we
need
to
go
back
from
when
the
call
comes
in
and.
A
Is
there
any
priority
given
as
far
as
being
a
bus
route
or
a
major
street,
or
is
it
because
I
know
oftentimes
when
it's
when
it's
a
large
ditch
a
bus
has
to
be
rebooted
and
people
trying
to
figure
out
where
to
catch
the
bus?
And
all
this
is
it's
that
any?
Is
there
any
prior
order?
Is
it
kind
of
first
come
first
serve
well.
C
B
C
D
B
Yes,
within
the
streets
department,
there
is
an
actual
Evan
flow
of
hiring,
especially
in
sanitation,
we're
all
staffing
/
based
on
track,
stunna,
jizz
and
during
the
summer
and
spring
months.
Trash
tonnage
is
a
higher
that's
when
we
staff
up,
but
as
the
tons
of
drop
in
the
winter
and
the
fall,
our
staffing
level
decreases.
We
have
a
attrition
rate
of
about
eight
percent,
I
would
say
so:
it's
not
us
land
employees
off
and
hiring
just
that.
B
D
E
Chris
Newman
Deputy
Commissioner
for
administration.
Most
of
that
was
over
time
associated
with
the
compactor
shortage
and
also
with
regard
to
snow
events
during
that
year,
so
that
so
that
would
be
over
time
associated
with
other
endeavors
that
the
streets
department
was
engaged
in.
Did
you
say
2015
just.
E
D
That's
twenty
percent
of
your
payroll.
It's
over
time.
That's
a
big
number!
Yes,
I
wanted
I
mean
overtime,
is
either
time
and
a
half
or
double
time
on
Sundays
I,
guess
right
correct,
so
we
could
at
least
probably
say
five
or
six
million
dollars
of
that.
If
we
had
it
stepped
without
overtime,
I
guess
right!
Well,.
E
D
B
Shouldn't
have
that
district
council
and
also
when
you're
looking
at
the
staffing
shortages.
One
thing
we
try
to
do
to
compensate
for
the
overtime
is:
keep
our
staffing
levels
at
a
certain
level.
If
I
don't
have
the
compactor
to
put
them
on
the
street,
we
weren't
going
to
do
the
hiring
so
you'll
see
higher
over
time
and
less
staff,
because
we
simply
didn't
have
the
compactors
or
truck
to
collect
the
trash.
So
that's
why
you
see
high
over
time-
and
you
see
a
very
low
staffing
number
okay.
D
The
LED
bulbs
that
you
guys
were
putting
it
I
notice
you're
doing
that,
but
what's
the
cost
of
that
was
probably
for
by
time
and
what
was
the
payback
and
is
that
something
that's
strictly
done
in
an
overtime
mode,
the
cost
of
the
labor,
the
other,
was
the
investment
in
LEDs.
What
was
the
payback?
Was
it
two
years
five
years
it
was
the
payback
girl,
no.
C
D
C
I,
just
so,
you
know
it's
going
to
be
variable
because
there's
a
few
factors
to
including
this,
we
have
different
wattages
of
LED.
Just
like
we
do
other
other
kinds
of
bulbs.
We
have
the
opportunity
to
increase
the
the
light,
the
amount
of
light
with
LED
and
there
have
been
requests
in
some
places
to
do
that
which
has
benefits
in
terms
of
security
and
safety,
but
it
does
sort
of
degrade
a
little
bit.
The
energy
savings,
also
in
some
of
the
LED
products,
were
actually
adding
more
light
in
terms
of
pedestrian
scale.
C
C
There
have
been
some
projects
which
we
have
done,
the
work
during
the
night
and
the
weekends.
Some
of
the
LED
replacements
are
done
in
the
course
of
regular
maintenance.
So,
since
we're
going
out
we're
changing
bulbs
on
a
certain
block
when
we
get
to
a
certain
threshold
of
bolts
that
need
to
be
replaced,
we'll
just
do
the
whole
block
and
led
in
the
course
of
the
maintenance
we
would
be
doing
otherwise.
Okay,.
D
One
last
question
and
page
three
I
just
understand
what
this
is:
it's
m
/
w
/
dbe
and
I'm
asking
the
question-
goes
in
fiscal
year:
16
it
was
down
the
14
million
in
fiscal
year.
15
I
was
22
million
in
14
was
23
million.
Any
reason
why
what
that
is
and
why
it
went
down,
which
is
good,
I'm,
just
curious
what
it
is
page
three
of
your
testimony
budget
told
them
out
to

E
D
E
F
Chair
good
afternoon
guys
and
thank
you
for
being
here,
I-
do
want
to
say
before
I
start,
I
really
appreciate
the
the
ability
of
the
streets
department
to
reach
out
to
us
and
our
staff.
We
get
a
ton
of
calls
and
requests
and
I
know
through
31
and
our
offices
and
I
have
to
say
streets
is
very
receptive,
responsive.
So
thank
you
very
much.
We
don't
say
that
about
all
the
departments.
So
we
appreciate
what
you
do
and
might
have
just
a
couple
questions.
F
C
Over
five
year
period
we
are
seeking
some
increases
in
the
budget.
We
have
not
had
an
increase
in
budget
this
time,
but
we
are
pursuing
grants
and
that's
been.
The
main
thing
that
we've
been
able
to
do
is
to
find
grants
that
are
funding
different
types
of
multimodal
projects
and
to
use
the
some
of
that
funding
to
pay
for
LED
improvements
and.
F
And
you
know,
as
we
install
more
and
more
the
LED
lights,
we
do
have
some
people
love
the
brightness
and
some
people,
don't
like
the
brightness
and
there's
it
I
guess:
there's
different
colors
of
it,
maybe
a
yellow
LED
or
a
dimmer
LED
compared
to
a
brighter
one.
Is
that
who
ways
that
decision
and
if
we
do
put
a
certain
light
up
there?
That
is
not
received
well
by
the
community?
Is
there
a
way
to
easily
change
that
or
no
well.
C
So
that
that's
been
a
major
concern.
We
do
have
the
opportunity
to
work
with
different
communities,
though,
to
figure
out
how
the
the
spread
of
the
light
is
directed,
and
sometimes
some
of
the
issues
that
people
have
with
glare
or
the
brightness.
It
has
to
do
with
the
way
that
the
light
is
sort
of
directed
off
the
sidewalk
or
maybe
directed
onto
the
buildings.
F
We
just
recently
had
a
hearing
with
verizon,
and
they
have
commented
that
it
seems
like
lately
has
been
very
good,
permitting
helping
permitting
for
them
to
I
guess
finish
out
their
build-out.
They,
they
I
think
they
had
said
they
were
requesting.
72
permits
and
weren't
receiving
them
is
that's
something
that
we
could
work
with
them
to
to
get
them
done.
C
You
know
verizon
has
made
some
changes
this
year,
which
has
made
it
a
lot
easier
for
us
to
get
the
information
from
them
that
we
need
to
get
from
them
in
order
to
issue
their
permits,
and
so
we're
encouraged
by
the
changes
that
Verizon
made
and
the
higher
level
of
engagement
that
they've
had
in
a
and
the
process
that
we've
had
in
place.
In
order
to
issue
the
permits.
That's.
F
Good,
that's
good
to
hear
I
mean,
and
we
were
also
willing
to
help
them
to
continue
that
and
we
have
to
work
together,
obviously
to
make
these
things
happen
and
plus
we're
also
understanding
the
the
neighbors
and
the
people
in
the
streets
that
are
being
dug
up
and
if
we
have
five
streets
in
one
area
does
up.
At
the
same
time,
it
could
really
cause
a
big
hardship.
F
A
couple
other
questions,
one
the
we
just
did
councilman
Johnson,
that
introduced
a
resolution
about
them
open
streets,
type,
bad
and
program
or
I,
guess,
special
event
that
is
done
in
other
areas
and
I
know
they're
looking
to
do
one
and
in
Philadelphia,
and
is
that
going
to
be
under
the
purview
of
streets?
Obviously,
but
is
it
going
to
be
under
the
new
Complete
Streets
or
is
it
going
to
be
under
house
that
could
work
will
be
in
charge
of
it?
Well,.
B
Initially
right
now,
it's
just
the
one
event
planned
in
October
I
think
this
will
be
more
of
a
conversation
that
we
had
to
check
out,
take
off
with
the
office
of
transportation
infrastructure,
of
how
it's
going
to
be
organized
moving
forward.
But
we
do
have
the
one
plan
open
streets
and
october
and
I
guess
taking
that
and
then
building
from
that
event,
it'll
be
something
that
we
have
to
talk
to
the
office
of
translation
infrastructure
about
how
will
how
did
that
moving
forward?
It.
F
F
We're
also
talking.
Obviously,
you
hear
the
conversation
always
about
bike
lanes
and
and
and
things
that
go
on
throughout
the
district.
Is
there
more
money?
That's
going
to
be
put
in
I,
know,
there's
so
many
streets
to
get
done
each
year.
Is
that
something
also
that
goes
into
the
formulas,
for
how
many
I
guess
redoing
streets
and
bike
lanes
will
be
added
to
that?
At
the
same
time,
we.
B
Always
try
and
integrate
all
forms
of
multimodal
when
you're
thinking
about
research
center
street.
We
service
industry,
we're
thinking
about
bike
lanes,
we're
also
thinking
about
what
other
safety
impacts
we
can
take
from
a
traffic
calming
measure
and
as
of
right
now
we
plan
on
17
more
miles
of
additional
bike
lane
and
this
upcoming
here
and
as
we
resurface,
we
do
try
and
evaluate
where
bike
lanes
would
be
most
beneficial
but
I.
Also,
commissioner,
wsw
yeah.
C
That
I
think
what
the
commissioners
saying
is
right.
I
should
add
to
that
that
you
know
we're
looking
at
a
longer-term
goal
and,
as
we
were
saying,
with
the
LED
improvements,
we're
looking
for
grant
opportunities
in
order
to
accomplish
that
news
broke
I'm
hopeful
that
we
can
get
the
money
in
from
DVR
pc
for
the
transportation
alternatives
program
or
what
we
call
the
tap
program
that
money
will
be
available
to
us
later
in
the
year.
C
F
F
We
won't
let
you
go
I'll
come
back
after
my
colleague
has
their
questions,
but
the
we
get
a
lot
of
complaints
and
I
mean
the
recycling
program
is
greatness.
City
I
mean
that
it
seems
like
everybody's
really
used
to
it.
Now,
understanding
and
you
know
the
process-
and
you
know
the
single
stream
aspect
of
it
really
works
well
to
get
people
to
to
do
it,
but
on
windy
days
and
days
where
we
have
some
really
bad
weather,
sometimes
it
adds
to
some
of
the
litter
throughout
the
city.
F
Is
it
possible
for
us
to
come
up
with
some
type
of
feature
or
some
type
of
lid
or
something
that
we
could
do
on
our
recycling
days
or
recycling,
bins
and
I
know
when
we
do
then
the
lids
break
and
but
there's
got
to
be
some
way
to
try
to
keep
some
of
this
trash
in
the
bins
before
they
get
picked
up
because
they
seem
to
blame
sanitation
when
it's
mostly
the
weather
it
actually
causing
the
problem?
Yes,.
B
We
do
understand
that
without
a
lid
there
can
be
little
conditioners
created.
The
issue
with
that.
Is
you
get
into
the
bend
replacement
business
as
we
talked
about
before,
where
we're
giving
lids
keeping
lid
replacement
business
we're
giving
lids
out
and
individuals
aren't
maintaining
their
lids,
but
we're
also
looking
at
larger
bends.
We're
looking
at
trying
to
somehow
either
put
an
RFP
together
find
some
kind
of
revenue
where
we're
able
to
give
bends
out
with
Liz.
This
is
something
that
we've
talked
about
this
Gus's
in
the
preliminary
stages.
B
We
did
do
an
evaluation
of
how
it
would
help
the
recycling
stream
if
we
had
larger
bins.
So
the
carts
are
something
that
we're
looking
at.
Unfortunately,
we
do
not
have
the
money
on
hand
to
purchase
them,
but
if
there's
an
opportunity
where
we
can
do
an
RFP
or
something
that
needs
to
we're
in
the
early
stages
of
considering
that
Thank.
F
G
I
see
your
folks,
your
guys
and
your
girls
out
morning,
noon
and
night
I
see
them
in
on
the
weekend
throughout
my
district,
and
you
know,
but
the
fact
of
the
matter
is
we
have
a
real
real
trash
dumping
problem
in
situation
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
and
no
matter
how
hard
they
work
or
how
much
they're
doing
to
try
to
get
the
city
cleaned
up.
You
know,
and
you
and
I
know
there's
a
couple
of
sites
in
particular
in
my
district.
G
We
don't
know
what's
in
that
concrete
and
that
construction
ways,
and
so
now
it
becomes
an
environmental
issue,
and
so
I
say
all
that
to
say
that
I'm
greatly
concerned
about
the
dumping
and
trash-
and
you
know
how
do
we
get
ahead
of
this
and
I
do
think
that
it
has
to
be
a
you
know
more
of
a
priority
now
that
it's
not
a
priority.
You
have
a
lot
of
priorities,
but
how
do
we
tackle
this
problem?
This.
B
Problem
is
a
multi-agency
problem.
When
you
look
when
you're
talking
about
the
contractors
itself,
you
talk
about
the
illegal
dumping
any
talking
about
the
cleanup
process.
That's
the
police.
Ellen
I
asked
US
Department
issue,
it's
something
that
we
have
to
work
together
to
try
and
get
ahead
of.
As
you
know,
we
we
approach
it
from
an
enforcement
standpoint.
We
approach
it
from
a
service
standpoint
as
you
know,
but
we
also
have
20.
B
We
have
some
20
cameras
that
were
actually
rotate
throughout
the
city,
I'm
about
to
say
where,
but
we
actually
don't.
Let
individuals
know
where
they
are
and
then
for
when
we
tried
to
do
it
on
three
more
rotation,
where
we
had
a
solar
power
cameras
and
certain
places
throughout
the
city.
So
far
we've
been
able
to
identify
properly
a
hundred
and
seventy-five
illegal
dumpers.
We
do
turn
it
over
to
neighborhood
services
for
prosecution,
so
we
are
pursuing
it
from
an
enforcement
standpoint.
B
We
are
pursuing
it
from
a
service
standpoint,
but
the
illegal
behavior
is
just
the
criminal
activity
that
we
haven't
been
able
to
get
all
our
hands
on.
When
you
have
world
contractors
without
licenses,
you
have
contractors
that
simply
don't
care,
that's
something
that
it's
just
a.
Nor
is
an
enormous
task
to
put
a
rope
around
these
particular
individuals,
so
we're
we're
trying
to
fight
it
from
every
aspect.
But
again
we
haven't
found
a
solution,
but
it's
not
something
that
we're
not
focusing
on
right.
G
Williams
has
been
you
know
at
this
for
a
long
time
and
I
know
that
you
know
we
all
feel
a
level
of
frustration
with
the
dumping
and
the
trash
and
trying
to
figure
out.
How
do
we
address
it
in
our
neighborhoods
and
it's
not
in
every
neighborhood.
You
know
there's
certain
neighborhoods
you
can
go
to
so.
G
H
You
Kevin
Thank
You,
councilman,
Carlton,
Williams,
Deputy
Commissioner
for
the
streets
department.
I,
concur
as
obviously
something
that's
unacceptable.
We
we
have
to
have
a
focused
effort.
Commissioner
Carlton
last
year
launched
a
new
campaign
called
pick
it
up
Philly,
which
is
to
remind
residents
how
to
report
these
issues
when
they
come
up.
The
best
way
to
combat
it
is
to
try
to
prevent
it
from
happening
in
the
first
place.
H
If
we
see
contractors
without
permits,
for
example,
that
should
be
reported
to
the
department,
ultimately
those
hot
spots,
we
try
to
rotate
those
cameras
around
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
not
not
publicly
announcing
it,
but
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we
address
it.
But
I
want
to
concur
with
the
things
that
you
say
without.
Stricter
enforcement
is
going
to
be
very,
very
difficult
to
try
to
curb
that
behavior.
H
G
Okay,
thanks
I'll
be
in
touch
on
another
matter.
I
just
wanted
to
check.
In
with
you.
Last
year
we
introduced
a
bill.
I
introduced
a
bill
that
was
scheduled
to
raise
about
3.4
million
dollars
through
increases
and
slight
increases
in
vehicle
registration
fees,
very
slight
increase,
and
so
those
monies
were
to
be
spent
on
safety
initiatives
with
the
streets
department,
speed
bumps.
You
know
things
of
that
nature.
Street
repaving
pedestrian
safety
matters
just
want
to
see.
Can
you
give
us
an
idea
of
how
much
has
been
received
so
far
and
how
that's
going
I
like.
B
Did
it
did
a
great
job?
Thank
you.
Well,
as
of
right
now
we
have
not
received
any
funds,
but
June
of
2016
will
be
the
first
installment.
It
only
be
a
partial
will
receive
190,000
this
June,
but
June
with
2017.
We
should
receive
the
3.4
million
moving
forward.
But
again
these
funds
are
all
going
towards
rover
servicing
and
safety
issues
along
our
roadways.
So
that's
all
the
money
is
dedicated
to,
but
again
the
initial
3.4
will
not
be
here
until
next
June.
H
You
how
can
I
thank
you
for
all
that
you
did
when
we
call
you
every
day.
I
was
late
coming
because
I
was
checking
on
some
potholes
and
in
fact
we
appreciate
the
work
being
done
because
I
don't
think
we
caught
up
last
year
and
I,
don't
know,
I
don't
think
it
was
you
all,
obviously,
because
you
always
take
care
of
us,
but
I
don't
know
what
the
administration's
rules
were
now
we're
getting
calls
again
about
people
who
are
asking
for
trash
cans
again.
B
You
talk
about
the
wire
basket
by
Councilwoman.
Are
you
talking
about
the
wire
baskets?
Are
you
talking
about
the
wire
baskets
yeah?
We,
we
do
have
the
adoptive
basket
program,
which
goes
through
Philadelphia
beautiful
committee,
where
they
can
request
a
basket
and
the
individuals
do
services,
but
one
issue
that
we
do
experience
in
a
lot
of
neighborhoods.
It's
just
illegal
dumping.
Individuals
think
that
this
wire
basket
of
their
personal
trash
can
and
where
they
know
that
it's
being
serviced
and
they
tend
to
bring
their
household
trash
around
these
wire
baskets
on
a
regular
basis.
B
So
we
we
still
encourage
the
adopter
basket
program,
but
we
are
very
particular
as
to
when
we
put
a
basket
up
and
where
we
put
it
up,
because
in
many
cases
residents
are
calling
us
to
come
get
them.
We
asked
you
for
the
basket
two
months
later,
they'll
come
get,
it
come,
get
it
and
that's
just
the
issue.
People
when
you
have
an
issue,
especially
on
some
business
quarters,
where
you
have
apartments
with
overcrowding.
B
You
have
apartments
with
with
no
storage,
and
people
know
that
that
truck
is
coming
every
day,
so,
instead
of
Cuba
department
or
keeping
it
somewhere
where
it
may
attract
ruins,
they
tend
to
take
advantage
of
the
wire
baskets
and
we're
ended
up
having
a
service
these
baskets,
not
just
for
the
basket
itself,
but
the
material
just
dumped
all
around
it.
I
have
a
photo
album
counseling
about
this
thick
and
the
worst.
B
What
I
saw
was
someone
had
a
toilet
next
to
the
wire
basket,
and
then
individuals
started
putting
trash
inside
the
toilet,
so
the
toilet
became
in
a
distal
trash
can
next
to
the
wire
basket.
So
it's
we
just
have
to
really
be
strategic
about
where
we
place
them
and
if
it's
really
benefiting
the
neighborhood.
Thank.
I
A
H
A
B
J
J
J
Listen.
The
the
first
question
for
me
and
I,
don't
know
if
it
came
up.
Is
this
issue
of
the
larger
capacity,
recycle
bins
and
we've
seen
them
pilot
in
in
other
neighborhoods
and
then
they
called
you
know
office.
They
go
visit
the
district
office
and
say
we
want
those.
We
need
those
you
know
what's
happening
with
the
pilot.
Has
it
ended?
Can
we
expand
it?
What's
the
status
wasn't.
B
Right
now
we
did
the
pilot
and
one
neighborhood
in
Northeast
and
one
neighborhood
in
the
northwest,
and
we
did
not
have
planning
extending
the
pilot,
because
we
got
great
results
from
the
pilot
now
we're
just
trying
to
find.
How
do
we
get
the
revenue
to
increase
this
to
other
neighborhoods?
These
containers,
if
we
were
to
go
citywide,
would
be
about
30
million
dollars.
We
bought
one
for
every
house.
J
J
B
J
Well,
I
would
be
very
interested
in
seeing
how
the
department
sort
of
unveils
on
Rosa
plan
or
any
kind
of
strategy
you
can
come
up
with
where
we
can
work
to
make
that
fee
standard
operating
procedure
for
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
It
worked
and
then,
when
you
have
something
that
works,
and
you
have
to
go
back
to
people
and
tell
them
I
know
you
saw,
then
you
want
it,
but
you
you
know
you
can't
have
it.
You
know
that's
something
we
would
like
to
do.
I.
B
J
B
J
And
I
heard
you
a
commission,
you
know
mentioned
so
the
the
wolves
associated
with
the
wire
events,
because
I
get
you're
right.
I
have
seen
in
some
regions
where
they
are
used
and
they
become
a
magnet
for
short
dumping.
But
then,
with
some
corridors
like
on
on
wadsworth
avenue
and
don
vernon
road
and
on
rising
sun
avenue
and
then
on
york
road,
they
can
become
an
asset
for
us.
J
So
what
if
we
are
working
in
conjunction
with
your
department,
particularly
for
those
that
where
we
you
have
them
in
storage,
maybe
we
could
work
on
a
corridor
by
cora
de
basis
to
conduct
some
sort
of
assessment,
with
the
expertise
of
your
department
to
see
whether
or
not
on
a
trial
basis.
We
put
some
of
them
back
to
work.
We're.
B
We're
definitely
willing
to
work
with
you,
but
one
thing
to
keep
in
mind
though
Councilwoman
is
these
baskets
require
extra
service,
so
the
more
baskets
I
put
up.
That's
actually
additional
staff
needing
the
services
baggage.
Something
baskets
need
to
be
serviced
up
to
three
times
a
day.
The
big
bellies
actually
saved
us
approximately
million
dollars
in
center
city
when
we
went
from
the
17
collection
today
tune
out
about
for
a
week,
so
expanding
our
wire
basket
network,
which,
right
now
we
have
over
a
thousand
big
bellies.
We
have
over
600
wire
baskets
throughout
the
city.
B
Expanding
that,
on
a
massive
level,
will
require
additional
staff
to
service
these
baskets
because
they're
not
on
the
same
dance
collection.
They
thought
the
weeks
or
the
crew
that
exists
won't
be
able
to
service.
Those
bastards
will
have
to
be
some
other
kind
of
fusions
and
shorter.
These
baskets
or
service
timely,
so.
J
I,
wouldn't
suggest
sort
of
an
additional
investment
I'm
just
talking
about
what
we
have
in
stock
and
storage.
Now
right
that
we've
taken
off
the
street
because
it's
been
replaced
by
big
belly
because
I'm
a
big
belly
advocate
right
but
I,
don't
think
we
have
enough
big
bellies
for
every
commercial
quarter
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia
right,
so
where
we
don't
have
enough,
if
it's
possible
that
we
could
get
the
Commerce
Department
streets
and
particularly
if
it's
any
kind
of
community
development
corporation
or
in
many
instances
it
may
not
be.
J
J
But
when
there's
a
shooting
is
called
cedar,
Brook
just
want
you
to
be
clear
about
the
region
I'm
talking
about
and
it
in
addition
to
that,
what
they
will
say
is
if
I
am
travelling
to
take
my
son
to
school
and
in
in
in
preschool,
you
can
drive
up
a
block
that
has
a
speed
bump
right.
It
has
a
speed
bump
and
then
I'll
have
someone
from
another
region
who
will
say
to
me
well.
J
Why
can't
we
have
a
speed
bump
at
this
location
and
we
will
say,
speed
bumps
are
illegal
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
You
can't
put
a
speed
bump
or
get
a
speed
bump
on
this
block.
Is
there
certain
criteria
or,
and
have
you
I
can't
be
the
only
one
who's
seen
speed
bumps
in
some
neighborhoods
and
not
in
others,
is
their
criteria?
Is
it
illegal
which
there
was
the
state
of
it
I'm.
C
J
A
C
C
C
What
we
decided
to
do
is
use
what
we
call
speak
cushions
speakers
there,
like
the
little
pillow
shapes
that
you
see
in
the
street
that
have
a
gap
in
between
them,
so
that
the
fire
department,
Police
Department
ambulance,
can
aim
their
tires
for
those
gaps
and
they
won't
get
that
bump
effect
that
undulation
in
the
vehicle
and
they
can
proceed
on
their
way.
A
little
bit
higher
speed,
so
speak
cushions
are
not
illegal
in
the
city
of
Philadelphia.
C
It's
the
it's
a
traffic
calming
measure
that
we
prefer
to
use
when
we're
trying
to
slow
down
traffic
on
local
streets.
We
can
work
with
penndot,
but
PennDOT
has
a
lot
more
resistant,
putting
them
on
the
arterial
streets
and
especially
the
state
routes
that
they
have
control
over
the
process
for
getting
traffic
calming
on
a
block
is
on
the
streets
department
website.
We
have
a
little
faq
and
a
lot
of
information
on
the
website
for
people.
C
Typically,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
either
working
with
the
council
people
to
identify
the
locations
where
these
should
go
in
or
we're
asking
the
residents
to
do
a
petition
and
to
get
back
to
us
with
about
I
think
we
have
about
75%
of
the
folks
on
a
given
block
that
we
want
to
agree
to
get
them
in
place.
The
thing
people
need
to
know
about
the
speed
cushions
is
that
you
know
there's
pros
and
cons
to
them.
C
Some
people
feel
like
having
them
in
their
neighborhood
or
having
them
in
front
of
their
house
is
a
detriment
to
them,
because
for
heavier
vehicles
there
can
be
a
noise
associated
with
them,
and
some
people
just
don't
like
them.
They
don't
want
them
on
their
block.
They
feel
like
the
traffic
in
a
given
situation
is
fine,
the
way
it
is
and
they
think
it's
an
intrusion
to
have
them
on
their
streets.
So.
J
Deputy
Commissioner,
you
just
gave
us
a
good
answer
and
a
mr.
Chairman
I
think
we've
been
asking
the
wrong
question
so
they're
bumps
and
humps,
and
cushion
cushions
yeah.
Okay,
all
right,
and
so
my
people
have
been
asking
for
the
wrong
thing.
So
so
one
will
make
sure
we
let
them
know
that
and
quickly.
Is
there
a
timeline
for
the?
How
long
does
it
take
to
apply
for
the
cushion
get
the
app
look
at?
How
long
should
I
tell
them?
If
I'm
at
a
meeting
and
I'm
sharing
this
information,
we.
C
A
A
Yeah,
but
just
let
me
jump
in
here
with
a
quick
question:
if
I
could
on
in
your
class
285
you
a
proposed
decrease
for
this
year
in
what's
called
rents.
Could
you
tell
me
why
there
was
a
spike
last
year
and
if
I'm
right,
I,
think
snow
removal
was
categories
is
categorized
as
rents
and
I'm
trying
to
figure
that
one
out
yeah.
E
That
rent
actually
corresponds
to
our
snow
contracts
for
our
snow
disposal
and
plowing
operations
that
are
contracted
out
and
we
paid
about
eight
million
dollars
a
little
over
eight
million
dollars.
This
year
we
were
budgeted
for
5.2,
so
that
amount
you're,
seeing
is
what
we
are
getting
this
year
that
we're
not
going
to
be
getting
next
year
next
year
will
be
budgeted
at
5.2
million
dollars
again
and.
E
B
To
make
a
note
of
councilman
is
what
we
talked
about
this
last
storm
that
we
had
yeah
when
you
look
at
the
cost
of
what
we
actually
expect
the
spread
of
what
we
did
spend.
We
look
at
the
storm
of
the
blizzard
of
2016.
The
plowing
operation
became
a
lifting
operation,
so
you
had
to
have
more
equipment
that
was
actually
lifting
snow
out
of
these
city
streets
more
so
than
just
plowing.
So
there
was
a
high
need
for
various
type
of
equipment.
D
B
The
one
thing
I
can
talk
about
a
mile
passing
on
the
chris
is
again.
The
compact
issue
got
increasingly
worse.
As
the
years
went
on.
We
add
our
words.
We
were
short
40
compactors
it
just
to
give
you
an
example:
a
compact,
the
services
up
to
a
thousand
households
per
day,
so
I'm
short
40
compactor,
that's
40,000
houses
that
I
have
to
pick
up
on
over
time.
B
So
that's
what
caused
and
Spike
Lee
over
time
over
the
last
few
years
having
to
pick
up
40,000
houses
on
on
average
through
some
peers
on
overtime
every
day,
and
simply
we
had
those
40
compactors.
The
trash
would
have
been
up
on
regular
time,
at
least
ninety
six
percent
of
it,
which
is
our
normal
on
time
rate.
Ninety-Six
percent,
when
we
have
our
full
complement
of
trash
compactors,
but.
B
Well
again,
we
all
department,
we
don't
purchase
compactors,
we
understand
we
need.
We
have
an
agreement
with
what
we
need,
but
that
we
have
not
had
the
ability
to
purchase
compactors
in
the
past,
but
moving
forward.
We
do
have
a
lion,
idol,
mal
capital
budget,
where
we
should
have
replaced
with
a
35
compactors
per
year,
which
should
get
us
in
a
state
of
good
repair.
How
many
years
Kris
and
eight
years
right.
D
B
Again,
we
talked
to
fleet
about
what
our
needs
are
and
whatever
their
budget
is,
I
don't
know
who
they
speak
with,
but
we
are
in
constant
compensate
conversation
with
fleet
about
what
we
need
and
they
understand
what
we
need
and
I.
Don't
know
what
lion
items
they
may
have
when
I
have
so
I
couldn't
say:
I'm.
D
B
When
we're
looking
at
what
we
saw,
what
we
needed
and
what's
in
the
budget,
we
in
a
vast
know
what
we
need
on
the
street,
so
in
turn,
when
we
get
the
compact
is
when,
were
you
were
to
utilize
them?
That
process
in
between
of
us
saying
what
we
need
and
when
it
delivered,
is
something
that's
beyond
our
control.
Okay,.
D
One
other
question:
other
cities,
Atlanta's
one
of
them-
are
using
and
sort
a
lot
of
our
buildings
in
Philadelphia
by
the
way
they're
using
the
rooftops
water
towers,
the
tops
of
lighting
poles,
municipalities
for
cellular
companies
to
gain
revenue
from
municipality,
and
I
think
I
was
informed
it
you
guys.
The
streets
department
issued
an
RFI
to
wireless
companies
to
explore
leasing
some
of
our
street
fixtures.
C
D
C
We
have
you
know
we
have
the
expertise
with
respect
to
other
fees,
but
we
don't
necessarily
have
expertise,
for
you
know
cellular
data
in
particular,
but
within
the
RFI.
What
we
are
going
to
ask
people
is
whether
they
have
expertise,
and
so
we
may
put
out
an
RFP
at
some
point
to
contract
with
someone
to
help
us
figure.
This
out,
I.
D
F
You
mr.
chair
I
know
that
our
red
bike
share
program
has
been
very,
very
positive
for
the
use
of
the
bikes
in
the
city
and
I
know
we're
expanding
that
as
their
additional
resources
being
put
into
the
budget
to
expand
bike
shares
that
come
with
grants.
Research
coming
through
the
trailer
city
budget,
the.
C
Bike
share
program
is
run
through
the
office
of
transportation
and
infrastructure
services.
I'm.
Sorry,
though,
the
bike
share
program
is
run
through
the
office
of
transportation
infrastructure
services.
Streets
department
plays
a
role
in
advising
them
about
the
sighting
of
the
stations
and
also
we're
involved
in
prying
of
extra
bike
lanes
and
facility
to
serve
the
station's.
They
might
be
better
to
answer
those
questions,
but
I
do
know
that
the
idea
is
that
bike
share
is
more
or
less
self-sustaining,
so
that
is
the
system
expands.
C
F
And
I
know
that
this
administration
has
a
big
interest
in
a
lot
of
construction.
That's
going
on
within
the
city,
so
I
mean
the
permitting
of
sidewalk
closures
and
street
closures
is
being
looked
at
and
is
do
we
see
that
as
becoming
since
all
the
development
that
is
happening,
a
bigger
issue
within
the
streets
department?
And
should
we
look
to
increase
the
resources
to
that
department
to
be
able
to
keep
up
the
speed
with
the
amount
of
permits
that
are
being
issued
and
I?
B
Fiscal
year
we
do
have
additional
bodies
being
added
to
our
right
away
unit.
We
currently
have
three
additional
bodies
again
with
the
building
boom
in
this
city
and
ensuring
that
we
do
that
the
permits
are
properly
apply
for
it's
going
to
take
an
effort
from
the
streets
department
and
not
just
the
right
away
unit,
but
the
streets
department
as
a
whole
I'll
have
a
yeah.
C
Also,
very
recently,
we
rolled
out
an
online
web
interface
for
our
street
closure.
Permit
system
which
allows
us
to
get
information.
That's
input
by
the
permit.
Applicate
saves
us
a
lot
of
time
and
it
also
increases
our
productivity
and
managing
permits.
So
those
kinds
of
things
when
we
get
them
up
and
running
I
think
it'll
it'll
sort
of
multiply
our
ability
to
address
the
volume
that
we
see,
which
is
very
significant,
and
it's
it's
increasing
exponentially.
As
you
know.
Yes,.
F
I
always
want
I
also
want
to
congratulate
you
on
the
work
with
Alan
I.
Now
that
I
guess
Commissioner
power,
you
came
from
streets,
nallen,
L&I
or
back
to
Al
and
I
understands
the
working
relationships
is
necessary
and
instead
of
pointing
fingers
at
each
other,
we're
there
to
say
whoever's
job
it
is.
F
One
of
us
will
get
it
done
and
work
together
to
do
that,
and
it's
not
it's
not
an
easy
job,
but
I
gotta
say
that
your
leadership,
Commissioner
and
leadership
of
Ellen
I
willing
to
work
together,
make
the
changes
necessary
or
important
to
move
the
city
forward.
So
thank
you
for
everything.
You've
done
so
far,
really
appreciate
it.
We're.
B
I
The
streets
department
continues
to
be
in
it
and
it
started
a
few
years
ago,
but
you've
continued
it
and
it
is
being
more
community-oriented
going
out
talking
to
people
meetings
in
the
evening
being
available,
whether
it
be
yourself
deputies,
somebody
at
the
level
that
is
the
right
level
to
to
talk,
listen,
get
back,
I,
find
when
I'm
talking
to
members
of
your
staff.
They
know
a
lot
more
about
what
I'm
talking
about
then
I
anticipated,
which
is
a
good
thing.
I
It's
usually
a
learning
curve
to
explain
things
and
just
there's
there's
a
culture
that
has
developed
that
I'm
glad
you
are
continuing
where
the
streets,
department
and
neighborhoods
are
becoming
partners
in
all
this.
So
that's
that's
one
piece
of
good
news
and
your
your
deputies,
your
top
level
managers
I
mean
they.
They
all
get
it.
I
think,
and
thinking.
H
I
Know
that's
what
the
mayor's
trying
to
do
and
and
I
think
he's
achieving
it
in
the
streets.
Department.
I
just
wanted
to
say
that
to
you.
Also,
on
a
very
positive
note,
the
I
thought
the
blizzard
more
than
anything
else
showed
our
capacity
to
really
dig
in
work,
our
butts
off
and
as
a
city
as
a
city
force,
and
you
and
I've
had
this
conversation.
I've
had
it
with
mayor,
Kenny
I
think
the
amount
of
money
we
spent
on
the
private
sector,
which
I
think
it
a
certain
point,
gets
weaker
and
weaker
in
its
production.
I
We
could
much
better
handle
by
increasing
our
capacity
particular
with
equipment.
I
think
that
the
manpower
I
think
it's
an
equipment
issue
and
I
was
just
wondering
if
there's
anything
in
this
budget
that
lends
itself
to
that.
Is
there
any
smaller
equipment,
better
equipment,
newer
equipment,
equipment
that
we've
found
to
be
useful,
whether
we
borrowed
it
from
the
parking
authority
or
somebody
else
that
we
would
have
in
our
inventory
and
they
would
be
helping
us,
but
we
would
have
more
capacity
just
within
our
own.
A
currently.

Core
services,
the
word
I-
should
use
the
coarser
with
equipment
that
we
need
for
core
services,
we're
trying
to
replace
that
first,
we
have
talked
about
other
ways
and
have
talked
to
the
attention
infrastructure
about
a
snow
fighting
equipment
that
dedicated
to
snow
fighting.
Again,
there
may
be
additional
resources
needed
with
that,
because
when
we
look
at
how
we
fight
snow,
almost
all
available
staffing
is
fighting
snow
right
now.
So,
even
if
we
had
60
pieces
of
equipment
outside
of
what
we
had,
you
may
not
have
the
people
to
operator
at
this
point.
I
I
think
I
understand
you.
Let
me
just
before,
because
you
mentioned
personnel
and
you
you,
you
don't
want
to
spike
personnel
for
a
short
period
of
time.
It's
one
thing
to
have
equipment
sitting
there.
It's
another
thing
to
have
a
person
not
working
11
months
a
year
because
they're
there
for
for
snow
removal,
but
other
cities
have
it's
an
all-hands-on-deck
policy,
Parks
and
Rec
public
property,
whomever
it
is
that
they
can
get
out
on
the
street.
They
man
that
equipment,
if
they
have
it
I,
don't
know.
I
If
we've
looked
at
that
the
other
area
is
intergovernmental
contracts
or
mo
use
between,
say
redevelopment
authority
parking
authority,
even
housing
authority
where
they've
got
manpower
there,
you
know
they
they
get
done
their
snow
removal.
It's
you
know
around
the
complexes
sidewalks
and
things
and
we
can
put
them
out
on
the
street
I,
don't
know
if
you've
looked
at
any
of
that
coordination.
Even
if
there's
a
payment
that
transfers
between
streets
and
one
of
our
city,
you
know,
city
and
one
of
the
agencies.
It
just
seems
like
an
opportunity
to
to
do
that.
Yeah.
C
I
would,
I
would
say
you
know
we
are
working
with
other
departments
and
that's
not
an
issue.
I
mean
we've
got
a
good
relationship
with
the
water
department,
for
example,
parks
and
recs,
and
so
we
do
work
with
them
recruiting
staff
that
they
have
in
order
to
work
with
us
on
our
snow
operation.
We
had
a
really
good
experience
with
PPA
this
winter,
so
we're
looking
to
explore
ways
to
continue
to
work
together
with
them.
I
G
There
is
a
technology
where
you
know
sanitation,
technicians
don't
have
to
lift.
You
know
like
a
trash
can,
or
you
know,
a
container
that
it
can
actually
be
picked
up,
and
that
would
be
helpful
in
the
sense
that
you
wouldn't
have
to
worry
about
again
injury.
So
I
don't
know
if
that's
something
that
is,
you
know
ever
in
the
sights
of
this
treats
department.
B
I've
actually
explored
this
a
number
of
times,
okay,
about
five
factors
that
come
into
that
when
you're
looking
at
the
mechanical
service,
they
add
between
seven
and
18
seconds,
to
each
lift
the
average
sanitation
crew
picks
up
about
two
houses
in
11
seconds.
These
particular
pieces
of
equipment
service
about
eight
hundred
households
per
day.
But
that's
only
one
can
one
household
you
pick
the
can
up
put
it
down,
move
to
the
next
I'll
go
pick
it
up
put
down
balloon:
X
household,
that's
not
including
the
sofa
the
mattresses.
B
7
18
seconds,
depending
on
the
proximity
of
the
trash
receptacle
and
one
issue,
is
we
will
have
to
change
our
words
of
what
we
accept
at
the
curve
was
currently
two
more
illegal
dumping,
because,
if
you're,
only
picking
up
that
one
can
that's
all
you're
allowed
to
put
out
in
these
municipalities.
Yeah.
H
Councilwoman,
just
on
a
comparison,
we
did
to
a
study
well
cycling
a
couple
of
years
ago.
In
it
one
average,
it
took
eight
odor
system
with
the
lifting
device
23
seconds
from
curb
to
truck
where
it
takes
us
11
seconds
with
a
three-man
crew.
Commissioners
right
some
of
the
challenges
that
we
faced
with
with
Toder
size
system
that
can
be
used
in
some
of
our
suburban
partner
areas
have
to
do
with
spacing
requirements.
H
G
B
B
G
G
And
one
last
question
going
back
to
the
speed
bumps
so
I
have
some
a
few
blocks
in
my
district
that
have
that
need
to
be
resurfaced
and
speed.
Bumps
were
placed
in
position,
but
the
street
is
just
all
kinds
of
great
I
mean
it
just
really
needs
to
be
resurfaced,
and
so
I
can't
understand
you
know.
Is
there
some
sort
of
criteria?
Was
there
some
thought
process
that
went?
It's
saying?
G
Is
there
a
criteria
that
we
look
at
say
this
street
is
not
in
condition
to
receive
it,
because
you
know
it's
a
lot
of
money
and
at
some
point,
you're
going
to
have
to
repave
that
street
I
hope
sooner
rather
than
later,
I
use
that
street
as
an
example
for
a
reason
but
I'm
hoping
it
at
some
point
soon:
you'll
repave
it,
but
then
the
money
that
went
into
providing
speed
bumps
for
that
neighborhood.
It
was
a
waste
well.
G
C
So
we
don't
have
to
destroy
the
speed
cushion
in
order
to
complete
the
paving.
There
will
be
a
scene,
that's
formed,
but
you
know
that's
something
we
can
manage.
I
think
the
East
grayish
lane
there
was
a
water
department
shop
there,
so
there
might
have
been
some
some
coordination
that
we
could
have
undertaken.
That
could
have
made
it
a
situation
better,
but
it
was
sort
of
out
of
our
control
when
water
had
to
go
in
and
do
some
work
there.
We
do
try
and
take
that
into
account.
C
Well,
that
is
something
that
we
are
keeping
our
eye
on
and
ideally,
we
are
trying
to
put
in
the
cushion
after
the
paving
has
taken
place,
but
it
is
a
balance
because
you
know
there
is
a
desire,
usually
these
neighborhoods,
that
have
that
stuff
in
there
right
away.
So
we
want
there
to
be
a
few
years
that
go
by
before
we're
back
paving,
but
we
do
have
some
opportunity
to
do
the
paving
after
the
cushions
are.
C
G
A
F
Question-
and
it's
just
on
the
speed
bump
is
because
every
district
gets
out
inundated
with
requests,
especially
for
small
street,
with
the
cushions
or
pillows
or
whatever
it
may
be,
but
does
it
also
have
a
problem
when
we're
plowing
these
streets?
When
you
have
these
cushions
or
bumps
and
involved
our.
C
F
C
When
the
request
comes
in,
what
we
try
and
do
is
to
do
an
investigation
just
to
be
sure
that
the
cushion
is
the
right
solution,
because
there's
other
things
that
we
can
do
often
to
address
the
problem.
And
so,
if
we
determine
that's
the
best
solution,
then
we'll
try
and
put
a
project
together
and
work.
Because.
F
C
Right
so
so,
one
of
the
things
that
we
look
at
is
whether
or
not
we're
pushing
traffic
on
the
parallel
streets
or
whether
there's
going
to
be
a
significant
impact
on
the
block
upstream
or
downstream,
from
where
the
cushion
is
being
put
in
and
as
we
go
back
and
look
at
the
policy
that
we
have
in
place.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
considering
is
how
to
notify
these
other
neighborhoods
or
these
other
blocks
that
there's
potentially
an
impact.
It
could
take
place
on
that
below.
F
C
F
C
J
You
mr.
chair,
and
will
be
brief,
I
want
to
thank
you
for
your
response
regarding
the
the
traffic
call
me
because
you're
absolutely
right.
What
happens?
Is
that
a
resident
in
one
section
of
the
city
of
Philadelphia,
who
is
on
a
block
where
you
know
traffic
is
zooming?
You
all
have
come
out
just
like
you
make
a
determination
whether
or
not
we
should
have
a
stop
sign
and
or
a
traffic
light
after
you've
conducted
your
engineering
study.
J
I
would
would
think
that
you
would
come
out
when
we
make
the
request
for
the
cushion
and
conduct
a
similar
study
to
see
if
it
was
appropriate,
but
when
people
travel
throughout
our
city
of
Philadelphia
and
they
go
and
see
something
in
another
region
and
they
come
back
to
think
it
will
make
our
streets
safer
or
calm
traffic
on
our
street.
You
can't
fault
a
resident
from
trying
to
find
a
way
to
make
their
street
state
so
I
want
to.
Thank
you
for
your
response
to
that
question.
J
My
final
question
is
in
regards
to
page
two
of
your
testimony
where
you
talk
about
the
department
embarking
on
a
long
term
plan
to
significantly
increase
paving
over
the
next
several
years,
and
with
that
being
said,
I
won't
ask
you
to
answer
it
now,
but
but
obviously
you
know
you
all
have
a
plan
for
paving
and
of
each
district
council
person.
Obviously
this
is
an
issue
of
major
importance
to
to
each
of
them
because
they
get
the
request
in
the
calls.
Why
not
my
street,
this
street
is
paid.
J
So
if
you
could
find
a
way
to
work
directly
with
the
district
council
people
to
make
sure
that
when
you
sort
of
you
know,
work
to
develop
your
plan
that
we
know
and
then
we
can
communicate.
You
know
what
what
we
proceed
for.
You
know
happening
in
the
future
in
our
respective
neighborhoods
throughout
our
districts.
We.
B
Do
try
what
will
council
president
and
counts
when
putting
our
paving
plan
together
for
each
upcoming
year,
so
we
definitely
want
to
keep
that
relationship
going
where
you
guys
are
aware
of
what
your
constituents
need
and
we
are
rare
with
the
CDs.
We
can
come
together
to
work
on
a
common
calls
and
deliver
the
service,
whereas
most
needed
yes,.
J
And
finally,
councilman
O'neill
job
of
my
thinking
and
that
while
I
thank
you
for
the
what
you
did
during
during
our
snowstorm
I
did
not
say
your
hearty
thanks
to
all
of
your
staff
who
have
been
attending
town
hall
meetings
since
I've
been
an
elected
official
since
2005,
and
these
guys
are
working
late
into
the
evening
and
they're
there
and
they're
there
at
every
meeting.
We
do
a
series
of
about
ten
of
these
meetings
twice
a
year
and
they're
always
out
and
or
if
we
have
another
meeting
that
we
just
put
together.
