JESS, IF YOU WOULD PLEASE PULL UP THE, THE POWERPOINT PRESENTATION.
UM, SO WE WANTED TO JUST KIND OF CIRCLE BACK.
UM, THIS SHOULD BE THE, THE POWERPOINT.
UH, WE WANTED TO CIRCLE BACK AFTER OUR MEETING IN JUNE WHEN THE BOARD APPROVED THE SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN FOR THE ROSEMONT SAFE ACROSS THE SCHOOL.
THE SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN INCLUDED THE TWO ADDITIONAL STREETS, UH, THAT WE WANTED TO PUT IMPROVEMENTS ON THAT ARE ADJACENT TO ROSEMONT ELEMENTARY AND ROSEMONT PRIMARY.
UM, UH, LET'S SEE, THOSE ARE STEVENS PARK, I'M SORRY, STEVENS FOREST AND MARY CLIFF.
UM, SINCE THEN, WE ARE WORKING ON THE DESIGN, GETTING THE DESIGN, UM, STARTED.
AND, UH, JOSEPH, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION THAT I SENT THAT THAT'S THE P D F.
UM, WE'VE GOT, I HAVE CAMERON ANDERSON,
ALL I HAVE, ALL I HAVE IS THE TWO THAT I'VE PUT UP SO FAR.
UM, THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A, UH, A POWER.
YOU DIDN'T RECEIVE A POWERPOINT PRESENTATION FROM ME TODAY.
THIS IS ALL I'M OP THIS IS ALL I'VE GOTTEN TODAY, THIS AND THE OTHER THING.
CAN YOU PUT THAT OTHER THING UP AND LET ME SEE IF THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR.
SORRY, EVERYONE JUST GIMME ONE SECOND.
SO WE'VE GOT, UM, KAREN ANDERSON FROM PUBLIC WORKS.
HE JOINED US FROM OUR, UH, OUR LAST MEETING.
AND WE'RE JUST GONNA DO A BRIEF RECAP OF, OF THE ROSEMONT SAFE ROUTES, THE SCHOOL PROJECT, UM, WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE GROUND, AND THEN A TIMELINE AND HOW, HOW, WHAT FRONT MANAGE EXPECTATIONS ON HOW LONG THESE, THESE KIND OF PROJECTS TAKE.
SO, UM, WITH THAT, CAMERON, DO YOU WANNA GO AHEAD AND KIND OF TAKE US THROUGH IT, THIS AERIAL VIEW OF WHERE THE IMPROVEMENTS ARE GONNA BE MADE? YEAH, YOU GONNA, NEXT SLIDE,
[00:05:01]
PLEASE.SO, UH, OVERALL
UH, ANOTHER, UM, CROSSINGS SIGNED.
OUR TEAM RECENTLY ADDED STEVEN FORESTS, MARY CLIFF, UH, UH, TO INCLUDE A TWO-WAY SIDE TRACK, UH, AS WELL AS
AND, UH, ALSO TO IMPROVE CURRENT BICYCLE FACILITIES.
I RECEIVED MORE APPROVAL FOR SUPPLEMENTAL, UH, LAST AUGUST AND
SO SINCE THEN, WE CURRENTLY, WE ADVANCE THE PROJECT.
UH, 60% IS 90% AND IT'S CURRENTLY UNDER TEXTILE REVIEW.
IF THEY HAVE ANY COMMENTS, UH, THEN WE'LL NEED TO ADDRESS THEM AND THEN WE'LL SEEK, UH, TEXTILE AND F P A.
UM, RIGHT NOW IT TAKES ABOUT SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS TO TURN AROUND AND ABOUT SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS TO RETURN TO THE FEDERAL.
SO, UH, WE HAD A BOARD REASON TO PRESENTATION IN, UH, JUNE, AND WE RECEIVED BOARD APPROVAL FOR SUPPLEMENTARY TWO, WHICH DOESN'T INCLUDE THE DESIGN OF, UH,
UH, AND ANTICIPATE WE WERE GOING TO COUNSEL, UH, SEPTEMBER 27TH TO
SO, UH, WE EXPECT, SO I JUST PUT
UM, SO WE ANTICIPATE THE WORK, UM, THE, THE SUBCONTRACT WORK STARTS OCTOBER, UM, HALF HAS ALREADY STARTED WORKING ON THE
SO WE SHOULD HAVE EVERYTHING FINALIZED WITH THE LAST MONTH, UM, AND THAT, THAT INTO ONE PACKAGE.
UH, GIVEN
SO JUST TO RECAP FOR AUGUSTINE AND MALISE, IN CASE SHE DIDN'T, UH, CATCH ALL OF THAT, THE SUMMARY IS THAT THE, THE ORIGINAL DESIGN, AND THAT WAS ALL THE PINK STREETS THAT YOU SAW, UM, ON THE, THE FIRST SLIDE, THEY'RE AT 90% ON THE DESIGN COMPONENT OF THAT, AND THEY'RE GOING BACK AND FORTH TDOT ON THAT TAKES A WHILE.
UM, AND THEN SIMULTANEOUSLY WE JUST WENT THROUGH THE APPROVALS SUPPLEMENTAL PIECE, WHICH ARE THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE APPROVED AT THE JUNE BOARD MEETING.
THEY'RE JUST ON MARY CLIFF STEVENS FOREST, AND, UM, WE'RE ABOUT TO GET ADMINISTRATIVE ACTION APPROVAL ON THAT FOR THE DESIGN COMPONENT.
[00:10:01]
AND THEN THEY'LL START DESIGNING AND THEY THINK THAT THE, THE, THE ORIGINAL DESIGN AND SUPPLEMENTAL DESIGN WALL KIND OF COME TOGETHER AND AS ONE PROJECT.AND THEN THAT WOULD BE FINALIZED.
THEN WE CAN GO INTO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE OR THE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING PHASE OF IT.
AND THEY HAVE NOT, UH, PUBLIC WORKS HAS NOT APPROACHED THIS BOARD FOR CONSTRUCTION FUNDING YET.
THEY ANTICIPATE COMING TO US AT OUR NEXT REGULARLY SCHEDULED BOARD MEETING IN DECEMBER WITH THAT REQUEST FOR BOTH THE ORIGINAL AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL.
AND THEN IF ALL THOSE IS PLANNED, UM, AFTER GOING THROUGH ALL THE, THE OTHER COMMITTEES AND COUNCIL APPROVAL AND SO, SO ON AND SO FORTH, HOPEFULLY, UH, COULD BEGIN CONSTRUCTION AS EARLY AS SPRING OF NEXT YEAR.
SO THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW THIS PROCESS WORKS AND THE TIMELINE ASSOCIATED WITH IT.
ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FOR CAMERON OR ME? I LIKE THE DESIGN'S BEEN AT 90% FOR PROFILE, RIGHT? UM, YES.
WHEN WE FIRST APPROACHED THE BOARD, UH, SO WE RECEIVED 90% AND WE TEXT THAT SO IT BACK AND FORTH.
I DON'T KNOW, UH, BOARD, HOW FAMILIAR ARE ALL OF THIS TERMINOLOGY WITH WHAT IT MEANS TO LET PROJECTS, UH, LET, LETTING REFER THAT REALLY JUST THE OPENING BACK KNOW, LET, UH, FRAUD PURPOSES ADVERTISE ADVERTISING PROJECT FOR A FEDERAL PROJECT.
WE HAVE ADVERTISE THREE WEEKS
SO, UH, THE PROCESS ITSELF TAKES MONTH.
WE ADVERTISE THE FIRST WEDNESDAY, UH, GO THREE WEDNESDAYS.
AND THEN I LIKE TO OPEN NOT THAT SAME PRODUCT, UH, TO GIVE CONTRACTORS THE OPPORTUNITY TO ASK QUESTIONS AND ADDRESS ANY COMMENTS THAT THE CONTRACTORS MAY HAVE.
AND THE LETTING OFFICIAL LETTING IS BEING DONE OCCURS, UH, FRIDAY AT 2:00 PM OKAY.
SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE, UM, THE, THE CONTRACTOR VISITS SELECTED BEFORE YOU COME TO THE BOARD WITH CONSTRUCTION FUNDING? WELL, WE HAVE TO, UH, VERIFY THE NUMBERS AND MAKE SURE RESPONSIBILITY COMPLETE, UH, ALL THE NUMBERS MATCH.
UM, ESSENTIALLY IT SHOULDN'T TAKE LONG I TO DO THAT, ESPECIALLY WITH THE CONTRACT WORK WITH BEFORE IT'S A NEW CONTRACTOR THEN KIND OF DIALS THE PROCESS OUT.
WE HAVE TO REQUEST, UH, BUSINESS RECORDS ON NATIONAL RECORDS, UH, TO MAKE SURE BONDING CAPACITY AND WE HAVE CAPACITY.
IT WAS A CONTRACT THAT WORKED FOR, IT'S LESS STRICT, UH, EASY, JUST CHECK THE NUMBERS.
IF THERE'S ERRORS IN THE BID, THEY WAVE THE ERRORS IN FAVOR OF THE CITY.
SO CALCULATOR, UH, LOWERS THE BID PRICE THAT TAKE OF THAT KANSAS.
UM, AND THEN ONCE WE HAVE THAT NUMBER, UM, JUST COME BACK AND SAY, HEY, THIS IS THE NUMBER AND
AND THEN THE BIDS END UP HIGHER SUPPORT.
QUESTIONS FROM ANYONE? NOT RIGHT NOW, BUT ONE, WELL, A PARTIAL QUESTION.
SO ONE THING THAT NICK BROUGHT UP IN THAT LAST MEETING WAS, UM, THERE IS ANOTHER CROSS, I'M NOT SURE, AND IT MAY IN OUR SIDE, BUT THERE, THERE ARE A LOT OF FAMILIES ACROSS
THAT'S, THAT'S SO, AND THERE MAY NOT BE AN IMMEDIATE SOLUTION.
I THINK NEXT QUESTION IS LIKE, YEAH, THEY'RE ACROSS FROM, FROM CECILIA SCHOOL.
[00:15:01]
IT'S THAT INTERSECTION WITH SLIDE CECILIA'S.UM, WE GO UP ONE TO SLIDE TWO.
SO IS THAT, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE, THE FIRST LINE? YES.
SO YOU'LL SEE IN THE BOTTOM RECTANGLE IN PURPLE, UM, THAT HERE, YEAH, RIGHT THERE.
WHERE, UM, THIS HAS BEEN BROAD SITTING DOWN
SO I KNOW WE'RE LOOKING AT
THIS MAY BE WHY WE JAMES IS FIRST PHASE OF DATA CONSTRUCTION.
AND CROSSWALKS IS PART OF THE STRATEGY FOR THE, IT MAY THAT THE STANDALONE CROSSWALK PROGRAMING MUST BE STRIPING, WHICH DOESN'T PROBABLY HELP A LOT COMPARED TO WHAT YEAH, GOOD.
OUTSIDE JUST RETRIP I THINK WOULD NEED A, IN ORDER TO DO SOMETHING MORE SUBSTANTIAL STUDY.
HOWEVER, THERE WAS GOTTA BE A ESSENTIALLY PRETTY READING MEMO.
I THINK SOME KIND ON A BOOK OBJECTION LEVEL.
THAT WOULD BE, YOU MAKE IT HALFWAY THE TRAFFIC PATH, RIGHT? SO THE AND AND RIGHT.
I THINK I SAW A HIGH LEVEL SKETCHES FROM, BECAUSE IT'S IN THE 2024 BOND.
I HAVE A, I ALREADY, UH, IS THERE GOOD FUNDING? JOSEPH, CAN YOU GO TO THE LAST SLIDE ON THIS, UH, POWERPOINT PLEASE.
YEAH, SO RIGHT THERE AT MARY CLOSE, THAT'S WHERE THEY'RE GONNA HAVE, THAT'S PHASE ONE, THE HUNDRED FOOT RIGHT AWAY, RIGHT? I THINK IT'S A HUNDRED FOOT RIGHT AWAY.
WHERE? CROSSING CLIFF RIGHT THERE, MARY CLOSE, LIKE THE WHOLE THREE LANES WIDE RIGHT.
DOESN'T IT'S A, YEAH, IT'S STRIKE OFF MARTIN, WHICH LEFT TURN.
AND THEN COMING FROM THE EAST, ESPECIALLY
SORRY, I WANNA MAKE SURE WE GET WHAT'S IN PLACE.
WE TALK ABOUT HOW THIS INTERACTS WITH OUR LARGER, UH, CHARTER PLAN.
WHAT'S ALL WE HAVE? ROBERT FORD? YEP.
ITEM NUMBER FIVE IS THE DAVIS GARDEN TIFF DISTRICT PROJECT PLAN REVIEW.
IF YOU RECALL, WHEN WE MET IN JUNE, WHICH IS A WHILE AGO, WAS IN THIS YEAR, UM, THE PROJECT PLAN, UM, IN ADVANCE OF THAT MEETING.
AND I KIND OF CHALLENGE EVERYBODY TO REVIEW IT.
THINK ABOUT, YOU KNOW, IT, IT'S BEEN, IT'S BEEN A WHILE SINCE IT WAS PUBLISHED.
SO IS THERE, ARE THERE ANY GAPS WHEN WE THINK ABOUT THE, THE DAVE SPART AND TIFF, ARE THERE ANY OTHER CHANGES THAT HAVE HAPPENED THAT WE THINK MIGHT NEED TO BE, UM, YOU KNOW, THAT MAY NOT BE REFLECTED BUT WE THINK WOULD ACTUALLY HELP DRIVE ADDITIONAL ECONOMIC ACTIVITY? AND SO, UM, I WENT THROUGH MY OWN REFRESHER ON IT,
[00:20:01]
THE GOALS, THE OBJECTIVES LAID OUT IN THE PLAN.UM, IT'S PROBABLY FROM THE JUNE PREP, JUNE PREP, BUT IF THERE'S ANY, ANYTHING THAT STOOD OUT IN PARTICULAR, UM, YOU KNOW, HOW DOES, HOW DOES THIS FIT IN, IN, INTO THE PLAN, HOW WE EFFECTUATE THIS, UM, WHAT WOULD THAT LOOK LIKE? I, UNLESS IF YOU COULD ADD ON TO THAT.
I'M JUST, I'M CURIOUS IF, UH, ANY OF THE BOARD MEMBERS HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO GO THROUGH AND, AND KIND OF THINK THROUGH, UM, THE DAVIS SERGEANT CHIEF DISTRICT AND, UM, I, I KNOW THAT THE, THE BOND PROGRAM, UM, THE NEEDS INVENTORY, I THINK THE THINGS THAT, THAT I'VE DISCUSSED WITH YOU AND THE SEVERAL CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE HAPPENED OVER THE LAST YEAR.
SO EVERYTHING, UM, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE, THE CROSSWALK FOR THE CUSTOMER THEATER THAT YOU MENTIONED MM-HMM.
YEAH, I HAVE A FEW, BUT I WANNA, IF ANYBODY HAS THOUGHTS, I CAN KIND OF JUST SHARE A FEW THINGS STOOD UP TO ME.
I'D SAY, UM, I, I DO THINK ONE OF THE AREAS LIKE KIND OF MAKES FUN.
WHAT, WHAT MAKES DAVIS TRIP ALL THE WAY TO LIKE MONTCLAIR.
IT'S KIND OF A REALLY FUN STRIP.
LIKE THERE'S BUSINESSES ON BOTH SIDES.
SO, BUT THERE'S VERY LIMITED PLACES TO CROSS.
AND SO A NEIGHBOR ACTUALLY REACHED UP TO CHIP GLASS AND CHAD CONNECT ME IN AND SHE BASICALLY SAID, HEY, I'D LIKE TO CROSS DAVIS TO GET TO THE
I LIVE NORTH OF DAVIS AND IT WOULD BE NICE AND FOR A LITTLE OF A SAFER CROSS, IT'S IN BETWEEN KIND OF TWO LIGHTS.
YOU HAVE THE EDGEFIELD LIGHT, UM, AND THEN YOU HAVE, I GUESS IT WOULD BE THE POLE LIGHT ON MUCH FURTHER DOWN, OR SORRY, YOU WOULD'VE THE
UM, AND SO THE IDEA WAS, YOU KNOW, WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE TO HAVE SOME KIND OF, YOU KNOW, BEACON, RIGHT? OR SOME KIND OF, SOME KIND OF ENHANCED ACROSS, RIGHT? WE WANTED TO ENCOURAGE, AGAIN, LIKE WE WANTED TO BE A WALKABLE DISTRICT, RIGHT? AND I GO TO STRAIGHT
UH, LIKE PEOPLE GO GET AT THE RESTAURANTS AROUND, RIGHT? AND THEY'LL WALK OVER TO, TO THE THEATER, RIGHT? SO WHAT WOULD IT LOOK LIKE TO PARTICULARLY, I THINK KESSLER HAVE, UM, AND THEN ENHANCED CROSSING I THINK ACTUALLY FITS TO LIKE, THE IDEA IS LIKE ONE OF THE GOALS TALKED ABOUT THERE SHOULD BE ENHANCED, UM, LIKE TRANSPORTATION THAT INCLUDES COMMUTING AND LIKE WALKABILITY, RIGHT? SO I, I THINK THAT WOULD, I THINK THERE'S A COUPLE KEY INTERSECTIONS.
WHERE WOULD THAT MAKE, WHERE WOULD THAT MAKE A LOT OF SENSE? UM, I THINK THE KESSLER IS REALLY ONE OF THOSE.
ANOTHER ONE THAT COMES TO MIND WOULD BE, WE'LL PAUSE THERE FOR ANYBODY HAS ANY COMMENTS ON THAT ONE BECAUSE I THINK IF IT'S WITHIN OUR GOALS AND CHARTERS, I THINK MY NEXT QUESTION IS LIKE, HOW DO WE ACTUALLY WORK TOWARDS MAKING A CHANGE WITH THAT? BUT UM, SO WOULD IT NEED TO BE SET? UM, IT SEEMS, WELL YOU LOOK AT THAT, UM, UM, THE FIRST THEY I THINK WAY THAT CONVERTED IT TO, YEAH, SO THIS IS, THIS IS LITTLE BIT REQUEST WOULD BE FOR, UH,
SHE WOULD WANT SIGNING ME TO INDICATE
UM, YEAH, THERE'S A PROCESS SETTING.
UM, SO I THINK FOR, SO I THINK MY QUESTION FOR, YEAH, I I TO THE BOARD, RIGHT? SO HOW, HOW DO WE GO BACK? LIKE HOW, WHAT'S THE PROCESS OF EFFECT? LIKE DO WE NEED TO TALK TO UM, LYLES, LIKE THE OWNER OF THE LER AND THEN SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR CROSSING? OR WE JUST
[00:25:06]
BECAUSE THAT SECTION'S ALREADY BEEN ADDRESSED, IT'S EASIER IF A PROJECT'S LIKE PENDING TO SAY, HEY, CAN YOU THROW THAT IN? BUT SINCE THAT'S ALREADY LIKE BEEN DONE, IT'S ALMOST LIKE A SEPARATE KIND OF GO BACK IN THESE KIND OF TRANSPORTATION.UM, THIS WOULD BE PROBABLY PART OF, PART OF CAR, THE
SO THE SERVICE, THIS PROCESS, I DON'T KNOW IF SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD
SO WHEN I WAS LOOKING AT THE PLAN FOR DAVIS, WHAT'S BEEN FUNDED, THE NEXT SECTION THAT I WAS WRITTEN IS FROM CLINTON, RIGHT? CLINTON INTERSECTION.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE, IT'S KIND OF LIKE THE, IT, IT'S WHERE ONE PROJECT, IT'S WHERE ONE PROJECT ENDS WHERE ONE STARTS IN MY OPINION, LIKE MAYBE IT HAS BEEN ADDRESSED, MAYBE IT HADN'T WAS ACTUALLY PART WELL GUESS POSSIBLE TO YEAH, BUT GUESS LOOKING AT OR JUST, ARE YOU TALKING, WHAT PROJECT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? TALKING ABOUT THE
DAVIS WAS AWARDED, I THINK DAVIS IS 2017.
THIS COUNTY FUNDS, THE ISSUE IS THAT PROJECT IS FROM ARTS ALL THE WAY
SORRY, THAT'S THE WHOLE PROJECT.
THAT'S THE WHOLE PROJECT THEY STARTED WITH THE VISION ARTS CAN'T AFFORD THAT.
YEAH, I DON'T THINK WE'RE GETTING HERE LIKE THAT BECAUSE I SAW IS MY RECOLLECTION, AMY AND I FOLLOWED OVER TO THEIR D SHE SAID RIGHT NOW, YEAH, IT'S NOT GONNA APPLY ABOUT WEEK.
SO
AND WE GONNA CANCEL HER ON DECEMBER.
I SPOKE WITH THE, UH, YESTERDAY.
WE CAN'T HEAR OUT HERE WHEN YOU GUYS START TALKING AND THE VOLUME GOES LOW ON YOUR END.
LIKE WHEN YOU'RE SPEAKING UP, WE CAN HEAR YOU.
WE WE'RE GONNA ADJUST HERE AND TALK LOUDER CAMERA'S RIGHT NOW.
AND IT'S THE, THE MICROPHONE CUTS OUT BECAUSE I THINK THE VOLUME IS JUST TOO LOW FOR IT TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU'RE ACTUALLY TALKING.
UM, I WAS SAYING THAT THE R F Q OR THE R F Q ONLY PROCESS FOR DAVID'S, UH, AT CAMP HAS ALREADY BEEN CONDUCTED.
SO IT SHOULD BE ONBOARDING CONSULTANT, UH, IN THE NEXT FEW MONTHS.
SO DESIGN WILL KICK OFF PROBABLY.
SO FOR US TO PIGGYBACK ON THAT AND MAKE THESE PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS THAT FOR THE CROSSWALK ON CLINTON, WE WOULD NEED TO JUMP IN DOWN AND START TALKING ABOUT HOW WE COULD PARTICIPATE.
SO THEY'RE CERTAINLY GONNA WANT MONEY.
[00:30:01]
GET IN NOW, UM, THE WAY IT'S INCLUDED IN THE SCOPE.DO YOU HAVE ANY, UH, I'M GONNA PUT YOU ON THE SPOT.
DO YOU HAVE ANY LIKE, BALLPARK ON WHAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT'S GONNA COST? UM, SAY IT'S AN R IF IT'S A HOT LIGHT, IT COULD BE LIKE 300,000.
UH, IF IT'S AN RR, LIKE YOU COULD GO FOR SOME SORT OF JUSTIFICATION.
THEN JUST KNOW A I JUST TRAFFIC, I'LL, I'LL PULL THE, I'LL TELL YOU.
SO WE KNOW HOW TO, TO MOVE FORWARD.
THE KE KESSLER UM, PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT.
I KNOW YOU'VE HAD OTHER IDEAS.
I THINK SOME OTHER PLACES WHERE I EITHER CROSSED OR I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE CROSSING.
ONE OF THE, ANOTHER ONE, IT'S THIS SECTION THAT'S ALREADY BEEN COMPLETE, BUT IT'S, IF YOU KNOW WHAT THE TYPO SECTION IS, RIGHT ON DAVIS, I GO TO THE COFFEE SHOP THERE A LOT.
UM, THERE'S A CROSSING AT LIKE, UM, IT WOULD BE AT VERNON.
SO IT'S HOW YOU CROSS FROM THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD TO GET TWO KIDS FROM PARK, RIGHT? LIKE THAT'S, THAT'S WHERE FAMILIES ACROSS FROM THE SOUTH NEIGHBORHOOD FROM DAVIS TO LIKE LITERAL JUST WALK DOWN VERNON AND YOU WALK RIGHT UP TO THE PARK.
AND SO AGAIN, PART OF OUR CHARTER AND OUR GOALS IS LIKE WE WANT MOBILITY ACROSS OUR GREEN SPACE, RIGHT? FROM COS CREEK TO SKI SPRINGS TO STEVENS PARK.
AND SO THINKING ABOUT THAT AS ANOTHER CONNECTION POINT THAT AGAIN, TAKING KIDS OVER THE PARK, YOU'RE TRYING TO CROSS THE STREET, THAT STREET WAS IMPROVED, THE BUILDINGS WERE BUILT, YOU KNOW, SO YEAH.
AND LIKE YEAH, THERE'S LIKE, SO FOR ME, I'M LIKE NOW MY, LIKE I GO TO THE DOCTOR THAT JUST PUT HER OFFICE SPACE.
UM, AND THIS IS JUST A QUESTION FOR STAFF, SORRY.
AND IT SEEMS LIKE THAT'S A PRETTY BASIC NEED, UM, THAT YOU'VE HIGHLIGHTED TO BE ABLE TO CROSS THE STREET AND GET TO THE PARK.
SUE, WAS THAT EVER IDENTIFIED ON THE NEEDS INVENTORY TO MAKE IT INTO THE BOND? YOU KNOW, I DON'T KNOW BECAUSE PART OF IT, SOMETIMES THERE'S LIKE A CHICKEN AND EGG SITUATION LIKE PARTS OF DAVIS WERE IMPROVED BASED ON WHAT EXISTED BACK THEN.
BUT NOW OTHER
SO I'M SURE, OH, I'M TALKING ABOUT THE CURRENT UP UPCOMING BOND.
I'M NOT SURE BECAUSE IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S ALREADY UM, A REQUEST TO PUT LINTON TO HAMPTON IN THE BOND PACKAGE.
SO I MEAN I THINK BE ADDED TO ANOTHER REQUEST, BUT YEAH, JUST TO CLARIFY, THE THE FULL HOLD ON.
I, FULL PROJECT WAS SCOPED INCLUDED THE PREVIOUS BOND AND UH, REQUESTED PARTNER PARTNERING IN DALLAS COUNTY.
SOMETHING THREE MILES LONG COST OF MY SEAT.
SO WE DIDN'T, WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY.
SO, SORRY, CAN YOU GO BACK TO THE UH, POWERPOINT PRESENTATION? UM, AND THE, ARE YOU LOOKING FOR THE ACT ACTIVE CAPITAL PROJECTS MAP? UH, YEAH, I'M MUCH MORE, AND THE REASON I SAID IT JUST SEEMS LIKE UNFORTUNATE FOR IT TO HAVE THE LIMITED FUNDS OF THE TIFF PAY FOR INFRASTRUCTURE THAT SHOULD BE PAID FOR BY THE BOND WHEREIN, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY FUNDS AND THE CITY FUNDS COULD BE LEVERAGED FOR PROJECTS, UH, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, UH, VERTICAL DEVELOPMENT INSTEAD OF THE BASIC INFRASTRUCTURE.
YEAH, UNFORTUNATELY IT SEEMS LIKE THERE'S LIKE THESE LITTLE TOUCHUPS THAT ARE NEEDED THAT NOBODY REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT BACK THEN BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY SOME DEVELOPMENT DIDN'T, HADN'T OCCURRED YET.
UM, JUST I GO TO SLIDE SEVEN PLEASE.
SO YOU KNOW, SINCE WE'RE IN THE BOND CYCLE NOW, RIGHT? JUST ONE WE'RE LOOKING FOR OR NO.
YEAH, I JUST WANTED, SO YEAH, I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.
SO THIS IS A 2017 BOND PROGRAM? IT IS A PARTNERSHIP AND THE OVERALL LIMITS CLINTON YEAH, THAT'S THREE MILES.
I'M SORRY, I I COULDN'T HEAR THAT WAS A 2017 BOND PROGRAM.
YEAH, I SAID IT IS ABOUT THREE MILES LONG.
THE COST TO CONSTRUCT THAT, UH, IT'S ABOUT THREE POINT, UH, 3.7 MILLION FROM
[00:35:01]
RECONSTRUCT, SO ABOUT 33 MILLION.UH, AND THAT'S CONSTRUCTION B CS.
SO THAT'S ALL THREE PHASES FROM AL TO HUNTING, RIGHT? YEAH.
SO ORIGINALLY WE THOUGHT WE BE ABLE TO COMPLETE PROJECT WITH THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT DO THAT.
SO ANYTHING UM, PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS IN CROSSWALKS ON, ON ANY INTERSECTION ALONG WEST DAVIS WOULD NEED.
WE WOULD NEED TO TALK TO GUS ABOUT WHICH PHASE THAT THAT IS PLANNED FOR AND SEE IF WE CAN PIGGYBACK ON IT.
SO ANYTHING PAST HAMPTON? PROBABLY IN THE 2024, BUT I WOULDN'T SAY, UM, BUT IF A PROJECT'S COMING, IF WE'RE GETTING READY TO RECONSTRUCT THE STREET OR SOMETHING, WE'RE ASPHALT ONLY BECAUSE THAT'S THE CHEAPEST THING YOU PUT UNTIL SOMETHING COMES AND RECONSTRUCTION.
THAT'S TO NOT, UH, WASTE TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
SO BECAUSE THERE'S THAT COMING PROJECT AND IF YOU WANT SPECIFICALLY CLINTON HAMPTON ADDITIONAL, IF YOU WANT MIDBLOCK CROSSING 10,000.
SO SO THE THE, THE CLINTON IMPROVEMENT WOULD BE AN ADD-ON TO PHASE ONE OF THE WEST DAVIS RECONSTRUCTION.
YEAH, WE NEED FROM CLINTON TO HAMPTON, THERE'S ANY ADDITIONAL CROSSINGS THAT IS TO ASK.
IF ANYTHING BEYOND AMGEN, IT'S WOULD BE A BANDAID APPROACH IF WE TRY TO DO IT BECAUSE IT WOULD BE A APPROACH.
SO THE MOST, YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU GO OUT WE COULD STRI JUST MAKE THE DOLLARS, UM, AND POTENTIALLY SIGNS THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE.
BUT ONCE WE STARTED GETTING ON JUST REGULAR SIGNAGE, YOU KNOW, POP SIGNALS OR
AL WAS BASICALLY FOR ALL INTENTS AND PURPOSES, UH, IF YOU QUITE WALK LEG, UH, ONE AT
IT BASICALLY FUNCTION LIKE
WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING MORE ON
I REALIZE THAT
YEAH, I THINK THERE ACTUALLY IS.
THAT'S LIKE THE, YEAH, THAT'S THE ACRONYM THOUGH.
THE ONE I KNOW WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
SO WE KNOW OUR LIMITATIONS ON, ON WEST STATES AND THANKFULLY WE KNOW THAT THE WHOLE THING IS GONNA BE REDONE, WHICH IS GONNA BE WHILE UM, WE CAN JUMP IN ON PHASE ONE, WHICH JUST SO HAPPENS TO, TO OUR BENEFITS SINCE THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF OUR CONCENTRATION, OUR NEED.
SO, SO OUTSIDE OF WEST DAVIS, WHAT OTHER THOUGHTS DO YOU HAVE? UM,
[00:40:01]
LET ME SEE.I THINK I FEEL LIKE ONE AREA THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPLORE, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S EXPLICITLY IN HERE, BUT THERE'S THIS IDEA OF LIKE PREPARATION FOR, IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD TOO IS I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD DOG DOGS, THERE'S NO DOG PARK OR ANYTHING.
SO IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD THERE IS A LIKE BRUNO SOMETHING, BUT THERE, THERE THERE'S LIKE, THERE ARE A COUPLE BUSINESSES ON DAVIS THAT GATOR PETS AND WHATNOT.
BUT UM, I WOULD BE CURIOUS ON WHERE OUR SPOT COULD BE WHERE IT'S EITHER LIKE CITY LAND ALREADY, IT'S JUST SITTING THERE NOT MAKING NEWS.
'CAUSE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF THOSE LIKE JUST RANDOM LOTS THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON ARE AWKWARD.
RIGHT? I FEEL LIKE THAT IS ANOTHER AREA THAT WOULD SERVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD WELL.
UM, AND I THINK THEY CONTINUING NEIGHBORHOOD WORK AND SO I THINK THAT'S WITHIN IT, BUT WITHIN KIND OF LIKE IT'S A RECREATION ASPECT.
I MEAN IF YOU DISAGREE OR ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT, BUT I FEEL LIKE THAT IS SOMETHING THAT ALONG DAVIS, THERE REALLY IS NOT LIKE A GREEN SPACE WHERE IT CAN LET YOUR DOG LIKE OFF THE LEASH AND GO.
SO TIPS OF OFTEN PARTICIPATED IN PROJECTS, SOMETIMES OPEN SPACE, BUT TRADITIONAL LIKE PARK STUFF, NOT SO MUCH.
ALTHOUGH I WOULD THINK THAT THIS SITUATION, IT MIGHT BE GOOD TO HAVE LIKE SOMEBODY FROM PARK SNAP COME TO AN UPCOMING MEETING AND TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY'VE BEEN LOOKING AT BECAUSE I WOULD BE VERY SURPRISED IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY STUDIED THE DOG PARK.
CONCEPT BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF DOGS IN AREA AND KNOWING THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, I WONDER IF THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN STUDYING THAT.
I KNOW THE SKATE PARK IS SOMETHING THAT'S ALREADY PROVING.
IT'S JUST KIND OF GET AN ASSESSMENT OF WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN
I CAN TALK TO PARKS AND SEE WHAT BEING CONTEMPLATED FOR THE
I, IS THAT SOMETHING THAT I KNOW THAT WITHIN OUR, OUR PLAN, UM, RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES TRAIL, UM, CREATING A PARK SEEN A COUPLE OF TIFF DISTRICTS HAVE HAD THAT IN THEIR, SPECIFICALLY THEIR PROJECT PLANS.
ORIGINALLY STATE THOMAS WAS UNSUCCESSFUL BECAUSE THEY WAITED TO THE END OF THE LIFE OF THE TIFF WHEN LAND WAS SO EXPENSIVE THEY COULDN'T AFFORD.
AND THEN AT THE, UM, IN THE MALL AREA, WE'RE TRYING REALLY HARD TO PROPERTY FOR A PARK UP AT THE GALLERY AREA.
BUT APART FROM THAT, OTHER DISTRICTS, UM, THAT HAVEN'T REALLY EXPLICITLY SAID WE'RE, WE'RE TRYING TO BUILD A PARK AS PART OF OUR MISSION.
WE'LL DO MORE, YOU KNOW, GAP FUNDING FOR IMPROVEMENTS.
LIKE STATE THOMAS WAS ABLE TO, AT THE END OF ITS LIFE, PUT SOME FUNDING INTO SPRUCING UP LIKE THE EDGES OF GRIGGS PARK, LIKE ADDING LIGHTS AND THAT TYPE OF THING.
BUT USUALLY IT'S MORE OF A GAP FILLER ENHANCEMENT RATHER THAN YEAH.
TAKING THE PLACE OF WHAT THE PARK DEPARTMENT WOULD KIND OF FUNDAMENTALLY LEARN IN THEIR BOT PROGRAM.
SO I'D BE CURIOUS WHAT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT HAS.
AND JUST THINKING ABOUT, I THINK PART OF THE INSPIRATION WAS, I ALWAYS FORGET THE NAME OF THE PARK.
WE PUT SEVEN IN MONTCLAIR ROSEMONT PLAZA.
AND I THINK THE IDEA WAS WE WOULD PARTNER WITH LIKE BELL BISHOP OR THE APARTMENT COMPOST THERE AND THEY WOULD HELP MAINTAIN IT.
THEY COULD ACTUALLY USE SOME MAINTENANCE.
THAT THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE, THE PERFECT SCENARIO FOR TIPS.
DEVELOPMENT COMES IN AND IT'S NEGOTIATED, WORKED OUT THAT AS PART OF THAT DEVELOPMENT, THE STONE PART COMES IN IT KIND OF YEAH.
AND MAYBE THAT'S WHERE IT WORKS IN, BUT LIKE THERE ARE, THERE WILL CONTINUE TO BE NEW DEVELOPMENTS COMING UP EXPLODE STILL FACILITATE THAT OR WOULD THAT FACILIT FACILITATE SOMETHING THAT'S MAYBE ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC AS OPPOSED TO SOME PRIVATE DEVELOPMENTS THAT HAVE MORE PRIVATIZED AREAS FOR THEIR DOGGIES? YEAH,
I MEAN, YOU KNOW, WE JUST DID, I KNOW THAT, UM, THAT THAT ROSE MY CLOSET, BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.
AND YOU KNOW, AS, AS EVIDENCED BY THIS CONVERSATION, THERE'S SOMETHING THAT MAKES SENSE THAT WE COULD POTENTIALLY PURSUE.
WE CAN WORK WITH OUR, OUR, UH, DEPARTMENTS AND SEE MM-HMM WHAT'S THE GAME PLAN AND KIND OF EXPLORE OTHER OPTIONS THE BEST USE THE WORK.
UM, AND I FEEL LIKE, AND MAYBE THIS WILL COME FROM HERE, BUT I FEEL LIKE I, I THINK MY,
[00:45:01]
MY KIND OF LIKE LAST FINAL PIECE WAS THE, UM, I FEEL LIKE DAVIS UP TO LIKE ON CLEAR IS PRETTY NICE TO WALK.THERE'S ACTUALLY SOME STILL GAPS LIKE THE SIDEWALK, I GUESS IT'S LIKE PHASE ONE OF CLINTON TO HAMPTON SHOULD ADDRESS THAT.
SO YOU CAN'T NECESSARILY WALK.
THERE ARE SOME, THERE'S CERTAIN SECTIONS OR SIDEWALKS MISSING.
YEAH, THE SIDEWALKS ARE PART OF THAT, UH, STREET SECTION.
AND THEN I FEEL LIKE ONCE YOU GET PAST HAMPTON, THEY GET REALLY PROUD.
YOU CAN'T PUSH FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS IF YOU GET AROUND.
SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING REALLY LARGER FEEL LIKE I KIND OF A VERY HIGH SPEND ALL MY TIME IN, IT'S PROBABLY TO SPARK, BUT I THINK WALKABILITY AND IT'S LIKE THERE'S A PRETTY BIG STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EAST AND WEST AND HAM.
SO I DO THINK THERE'S A SLEW OF BASIC LIKE, LIKE BASIC LIKE LIGHTING AND SIDEWALKS THAT I FEEL LIKE ADDING THAT IN COULD MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE LONG RUN.
MAYBE THAT, I GUESS THAT'S IN THE, LIKE THE, I DON'T KNOW, LIKE THE NEXT, THE 2030 BOND OR FOR WHEN THAT PHASE WOULD BE BE IN LIKE PAST HAMPTON, LIKE HAMPTON TO COCKLE HILL OR COCKLE HILL WEST MORE, UH, COCKLE HILL TO OR HAMPTON.
UM, THAT'S PART OF TWO AND THREE.
YEAH, THEY HAVE, UM, PHASE THREE IS COVILLE, WESTMORELAND
I'LL HAVE TO LOOK AT WHAT, WHAT ASK.
I LIKE THAT MIND THE FAST IS JUST LIKE WHAT'S, WHAT IS THE PLAN TO MAKE THAT MORE WALKABLE AND ACCESSIBLE? UM, IT'S, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE CROSSING CAMP HOSPITAL.
I MEAN DON'T QUOTE ME, I LEAVE THE PLANT PAST HAMPTON.
OH, THE WHOLE, THE WHOLE DAY CORRIDOR.
UM, OKAY, SO, SO I'VE COVERED EVERYTHING NOW I'VE COVERED SOME OF THE MAIN ITEMS THAT LIKE I, WHEN I LOOK AT THE, THE
DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANYTHING THAT'S, THAT STOOD OUT TO THEM OR, I MEAN IF NOT, THAT'S FINE, BUT JUST KIND OF CURIOUS.
WELL, MY THING HAS JUST ALWAYS BEEN, UM, UM, I THINK DAVIS, UM, TRAFFIC, UH, IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF IT IS, IS HOPEFULLY GONNA BE INTERESTING.
I THINK THAT'S, UH, A GREAT IDEA.
IT'S HAPPENED ALREADY WITH THAT ROSEMONT CLOSET.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, THAT'S JUST ALWAYS BEEN MY MAIN CONCERN WITH DAVIS COURT DISTRICT IS THE TRAFFIC.
DAVIS IS JUST, IT'S LIKE A, IT'S A HIGHWAY.
LIKE IT'S A HIGHWAY I'VE SEEN.
I MEAN A CAR RAN INTO A HOUSE JUST LAST YEAR, UH, BECAUSE SOMEBODY WAS DRIVING SO FAST.
UM, AND THEY CRASHED INTO A, LUCKILY NOBODY DIED.
SO, UM, TO SUMMARIZE, WE WE WANT TO TALK TO GUS ABOUT PHASE ONE, UM, POTENTIALLY DOING PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS AT THE CROSSING AT CLINTON AND VERNON.
THAT THOSE ARE ACTIVE PROJECT.
THOSE ARE, I TALK TO YOU GOOD, BUT NOT ME.
[00:50:04]
TOGETHER.AND I, I CAN START AND TWO THROUGH MARY CLIFF IN THERE TOO, BUT I KNOW THAT'LL BE IN THE LARGER EVENTUAL PROJECT.
SO THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT I THINK WE HELD OFF.
CAN WE GO BACK? I'M CURIOUS, CAN WE JUST PUT THAT SLIDE AGAIN WITH, UH, THE, THE STREETS? YES.
SO CAN YOU GO BACK
AND THEN THE STREET OR THE LINE ON TOP.
