11 00:00:19,660 --> 00:00:22,160 Why don't you go ahead and speak 12 00:00:22,160 --> 00:00:23,760 rather than make a decision. 13 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:25,420 >> I move approval. 14 00:00:25,420 --> 00:00:28,220 >> 15 00:00:28,260 --> 00:00:30,200 We have a second? 16 00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,240 >> I second. 17 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,900 >> Motion and seconded. 18 00:00:33,900 -->

approved. 23 00:00:39,980 --> 00:00:41,780 Thank you. 24 00:00:41,780 --> 00:00:44,580 Item B, receive a report and hold a 25 00:00:44,580 --> 00:00:46,780 discussion regarding the city of Denton 26 00:00:46,780 --> 00:00:47,520 transportation/mobility project status 27 00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:48,280 report. 28 00:00:48,280 --> 00:00:50,720 Go ahead. 29 00:00:57,060 --> 00:00:59,120 >> Mayor Perotem, sir, Mr. 30 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,660 Poulter is going to be removed via Zoom 31 00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:04,300 this morning so Logan is going to run the 32 00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:05,400 slides for him. 33 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:06,240 >> 34 00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:07,160 Morning, John. 35 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,060 >> 36 00:01:08,060 --> 00:01:09,140 Morning, everybody. 37 00:01:09,140 --> 00:01:10,360 My apologies. 38 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,100 I was in transit. 39 00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,580 So I pulled over to make sure I was 40 00:01:14,580 --> 00:01:15,400 completely safe. 41 00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:16,700 >> 42 00:01:16,700 --> 00:01:17,380 Construction? 43 00:01:17,380 --> 00:01:18,640 >> 44 00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:20,140 No, I'm good. 45 00:01:20,140 --> 00:01:21,680 I'm safe. 46 00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:24,220 So the first project we're going to 47 00:01:24,220 --> 00:01:26,980 talk about is the plan for the city of 48 00:01:27,020 --> 00:01:28,080 Denton. 49 00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,860 If you can make it smaller for everybody to 50 00:01:30,860 --> 00:01:33,420 see everything, that would be good. 51 00:01:33,420 --> 00:01:34,960 Right there is perfect. 52 00:01:34,960 --> 00:01:36,100 >> Okay. 53 00:01:36,100 --> 00:01:37,200 >> 54 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:40,540 So right now, if you will roll down to the 55 00:01:40,540 --> 00:01:43,040 next page, it's the text art report. 56 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,600 This project is anticipated to be -- we 57 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,140 were talking originally November, but if you 58 00:01:48,140 --> 00:01:51,100 roll down to the next page, we're thinking 59 00:01:51,100 --> 00:01:54,040 that it's probably -- what we're hearing now is 60 00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:55,340 October instead of November. 61 00:01:55,380 --> 00:01:57,820 And it's just because they're moving on the 62 00:01:57,820 --> 00:01:59,860 concrete and asphalt paving for the 63 00:01:59,860 --> 00:02:02,560 northbound lanes at a faster pace than they 64 00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:03,460 anticipated. 65 00:02:03,460 --> 00:02:05,420 So they're reporting internally to the 66 00:02:05,420 --> 00:02:08,320 county that they think it will be October when 67 00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:10,260 this project is substantially complete. 68 00:02:10,260 --> 00:02:11,660 Next project. 69 00:02:11,660 --> 00:02:13,940 So the 35E mayo project, the 35E 70 00:02:13,940 --> 00:02:16,860 layout, we're going to talk about that in a 71 00:02:16,860 --> 00:02:18,400 little bit more detail. 72 00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:21,000 So we're going to talk about that in a 73 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,580 little bit more detail. 74 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,740 So the 35E mayo project, the -- 75 00:02:25,740 --> 00:02:28,040 >> Excuse me, John, I just want to encourage 76 00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:29,820 councilmembers, since it's just frankly 77 00:02:29,820 --> 00:02:32,520 difficult for me to tell what you're doing up 78 00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,360 there, I'd say if you have a question, just go 79 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,720 ahead and speak up. 80 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:38,760 It can be a little more informal. 81 00:02:38,760 --> 00:02:41,200 And I think on the recording, our voices 82 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,760 are distinct enough from each other that we'll 83 00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:44,960 be able to follow. 84 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:45,760 Thanks. 85 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:46,960 Go ahead. 86 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:50,300 >> Okay, so the mayo project on 35, we're in 87 00:02:50,340 --> 00:02:53,100 September of '23, and we are anticipating those 88 00:02:53,100 --> 00:02:56,200 utilities to be completed by September of '23. 89 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,680 And as you scroll down, you'll see all the 90 00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:00,440 utilities that we're working on. 91 00:03:00,440 --> 00:03:03,680 And everybody seems to be confident that they'll 92 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:05,480 make that timeframe. 93 00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:09,760 And again, as we get closer to that September 94 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:13,720 timeframe, we will be able to do a modification 95 00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,720 and a 10-year plan to move the dollars from the 96 00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:20,240 out year to the September '23 timeframe. 97 00:03:20,260 --> 00:03:24,240 And this, again, does all of the work from Mayhill 98 00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:26,700 through the brinker overpass and all the way to 99 00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:30,000 the loop, loop 288, the frontage roads. 100 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:31,940 So it'll be permanent improvements on the 101 00:03:31,940 --> 00:03:33,280 frontage roads. 102 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:35,340 So in the future, when we come back to do the 103 00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:38,680 ultimate someday, it won't impact the frontage 104 00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,680 roads at all. 105 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,160 Next slide with more questions. 106 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,600 The merge, we will have the right of way 107 00:03:48,620 --> 00:03:50,760 completed this month. 108 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,560 There was one parcel left we had to get some 109 00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,560 paperwork worked out on. 110 00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,580 We've had our aesthetics meeting with TechStat 111 00:03:59,580 --> 00:04:02,580 and the city related to getting those aesthetics 112 00:04:02,580 --> 00:04:06,380 included in the plan set as they design the project. 113 00:04:06,380 --> 00:04:10,480 So we're ahead of the curve on this section of '35. 114 00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,520 And again, we've got August ready to let it to '23, 115 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:17,320 and the money is in that fiscal year of September '23. 116 00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,720 So we're right on the number right there. 117 00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,600 That's a $400 million project. 118 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,960 Next slide, unless there's questions. 119 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,340 And the utilities are the critical path item here, 120 00:04:28,340 --> 00:04:35,580 but everybody's working together on it. 121 00:04:35,580 --> 00:04:40,020 Okay, the interim job, it's essentially open to traffic. 122 00:04:40,020 --> 00:04:42,720 If you'll scroll down to the TechStat report, 123 00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:44,880 the reason we still have it as an active account is 124 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,360 they're still having to do some work at the 380 125 00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,980 intersection to do some median striping and get 126 00:04:50,980 --> 00:04:52,720 the signal conduit set up. 127 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:59,760 So once that striping and that signal adjustments are done, 128 00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:03,340 TechStat will close this project out and we can put a 129 00:05:03,340 --> 00:05:06,100 big green completed on it and move on to the next. 130 00:05:06,100 --> 00:05:09,680 And I've driven it, a lot of people have drove it. 131 00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:12,380 I feel like it is a safer section now. 132 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:15,640 And I think it was a plan that, I think Becky came up with it. 133 00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:19,380 But good job all the way around for everybody. 134 00:05:19,380 --> 00:05:21,860 >> If you hadn't said that, I was going to say it myself. 135 00:05:21,860 --> 00:05:25,420 I also have the question, do we know, my experience also, 136 00:05:25,420 --> 00:05:28,620 it doesn't seem to be backing up there now. 137 00:05:28,620 --> 00:05:31,620 But do we know like objectively? 138 00:05:31,620 --> 00:05:37,040 Now we have two people saying, it looks like it's working. 139 00:05:37,060 --> 00:05:42,340 If we got any kind of other way to assess? 140 00:05:42,340 --> 00:05:46,880 >> Yes sir, so if you drive like going northbound, 141 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:49,840 as you come around the merge into that situation, 142 00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,280 you'll see that they put up a sign. 143 00:05:52,280 --> 00:05:56,960 That's a yellow sign that says, congestion when flashing. 144 00:05:56,960 --> 00:06:02,020 And I've checked with Travis and TechStat like two days ago. 145 00:06:02,020 --> 00:06:06,360 And I've asked them, has that been triggered since the project 146 00:06:06,400 --> 00:06:08,160 was opened and they said, no. 147 00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:13,200 So it watches for congestion that was occurring before 148 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,940 and they warn you and it hasn't been needed to activate 149 00:06:17,940 --> 00:06:19,400 since they opened the traffic. 150 00:06:19,400 --> 00:06:25,120 >> Wow, that's a great answer, thank you. 151 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,320 >> Okay, I think I'm good on that one. 152 00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,420 All right, so 35 North. 153 00:06:29,420 --> 00:06:34,260 Again, we're in the right of acquisition process. 154 00:06:34,260 --> 00:06:35,620 We're almost done with that. 155 00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:38,420 It should be done by March of this year. 156 00:06:38,420 --> 00:06:42,760 We roll into the utility relocations. 157 00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,000 If you scroll down, you'll note that there are significant 158 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:49,540 utilities in this corridor as well that need to be worked on. 159 00:06:49,540 --> 00:06:55,280 And we're looking at being ready to go by December of '23 160 00:06:55,280 --> 00:06:57,240 from ready to let. 161 00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:01,380 And this is a $800 million job. 162 00:07:01,420 --> 00:07:06,880 So when it's ready to let, you may move one of the sections at 163 00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,720 a time because there's three sections here and they want to 164 00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,320 let them separately because if they go above a certain dollar 165 00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:17,240 amount, they have to do a design build and they don't want to do 166 00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,640 a design build. 167 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,540 But we're moving on this project. 168 00:07:20,540 --> 00:07:24,680 It's on track. 169 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,280 And let me know if y'all can't hear me now. 170 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:30,320 I'll get closer but it will make my head look like a pumpkin. 171 00:07:30,340 --> 00:07:32,740 You're audible to me. 172 00:07:32,740 --> 00:07:34,480 Anyone else? 173 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,920 Any difficulties? 174 00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:38,320 >> Yeah, John, we were having a little trouble hearing you from 175 00:07:38,320 --> 00:07:40,860 time to time so if you could just speak into the mic as much 176 00:07:40,860 --> 00:07:42,300 as you can, that would be great. 177 00:07:42,300 --> 00:07:44,660 >> I don't even know where the mic is on my computer. 178 00:07:44,660 --> 00:07:47,560 So I'll just face forward. 179 00:07:47,560 --> 00:07:50,240 >> It's usually at the top of the screen. 180 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:52,200 >> Okay. 181 00:07:52,200 --> 00:07:55,480 On the 3520 Frontage Roads, if you'll scroll down, 182 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,580 I think this is the one where we're having a little bit of 183 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:02,040 trouble with maybe, yeah. 184 00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:11,620 So we were trying to finalize the contract with HNTB but since 185 00:08:11,620 --> 00:08:13,720 we submitted this report to y'all, 186 00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:17,200 TechStock notified us today or yesterday that they've 187 00:08:17,200 --> 00:08:19,860 terminated the negotiations with HNTB because they couldn't get 188 00:08:19,860 --> 00:08:26,640 to a number that both sides like so they are starting new 189 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:31,400 negotiations with a new firm and I'll send out the electric, 190 00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,940 electronic version of this before y'all post it up on the 191 00:08:34,940 --> 00:08:37,540 website to make sure it's the most current information but 192 00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:42,020 they've terminated negotiations with HNTB so it'll be a little 193 00:08:42,020 --> 00:08:45,760 bit of time before we get somebody to do the design work 194 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:49,400 on this project. 195 00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,220 And that's pretty much it on that. 196 00:08:51,260 --> 00:08:57,300 Next, we're going to move to questions. 197 00:08:57,300 --> 00:09:06,840 All right, this is the US 380 section under construction. 198 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:08,840 Essentially, if you roll to the next report, 199 00:09:08,840 --> 00:09:10,880 I mean to the next page. 200 00:09:19,860 --> 00:09:27,900 They're fixing to switch over to the Phase 2 on this project 201 00:09:27,900 --> 00:09:32,300 because they're getting faster on the improvements on Phase 1 202 00:09:32,300 --> 00:09:35,700 than they were anticipating so they're moving into Phase 2 203 00:09:35,700 --> 00:09:39,240 quicker than they anticipated and so for the entire length of 204 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:43,880 the project, they'll be working on the westbound side as well 205 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:52,660 as the eastbound and the same on this project with the next 206 00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:55,960 contractor, the barricades are set. 207 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,960 If you roll to the text that report on the next page. 208 00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:06,940 >> This one? 209 00:10:06,940 --> 00:10:12,080 >> I think you went past it. 210 00:10:12,100 --> 00:10:14,340 I think there's a page before that. 211 00:10:14,340 --> 00:10:15,720 Yes, right here. 212 00:10:15,720 --> 00:10:21,020 Oh, okay, yeah, so on mine we've got a construction report 213 00:10:21,020 --> 00:10:27,820 now for 380, no, no, I apologize, it's the next page. 214 00:10:27,820 --> 00:10:32,100 So on 380 east, the contractor is going to be working both in 215 00:10:32,100 --> 00:10:41,100 Phase 1 and Phase 2, but the Phase 2 is the 10-foot sidewalk 216 00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:44,580 and the temporary construction both on eastbound and westbound. 217 00:10:44,580 --> 00:10:47,740 So they'll be working on both directions of the road, 218 00:10:47,740 --> 00:10:51,120 but they're primarily doing the eastbound roadway improvements 219 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,420 and the westbound will be the pedestrian improvements. 220 00:10:54,420 --> 00:11:04,220 So on the feasibility, we are waiting for crossroads and 221 00:11:04,220 --> 00:11:09,440 little land to respond to text that essentially they in the 222 00:11:09,460 --> 00:11:14,700 public hearing for the feasibility, they requested that 223 00:11:14,700 --> 00:11:18,400 an economic impact study be done to the impact to those 224 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,340 communities for a loss of development along the corridor 225 00:11:22,340 --> 00:11:25,140 that is being proposed. 226 00:11:25,140 --> 00:11:29,660 But Denton County has met with both Little Elm and Crossroads 227 00:11:29,660 --> 00:11:34,160 and told them that they would cooperate with those two 228 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:38,960 communities to find a new corridor for their economic 229 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:43,640 impact study, and so they need to communicate that to TxDOT 230 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:46,440 because we're conceding the point, the county is conceding 231 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:48,940 the point that it is an impact, so we don't need to do a study 232 00:11:48,940 --> 00:11:51,300 to determine if there's an impact. 233 00:11:51,300 --> 00:11:54,680 And so once they turn those statements in, TxDOT will close 234 00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:59,880 out the feasibility study and we'll move into the environmental 235 00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,480 phase of the blue section. 236 00:12:03,520 --> 00:12:11,600 And just recently last Tuesday, Denton County hired Chico Cope 237 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:15,700 to begin the environmental clearance for the brown section 238 00:12:15,700 --> 00:12:21,740 to add frontage roads to that section of 288. 239 00:12:21,740 --> 00:12:27,040 Unless there's questions, that's all I got. 240 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:31,820 Okay, 288 West, this is the section further out. 241 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:36,480 Our design concept conference on February 11th, basically setting 242 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:41,100 up the parameters that which we will design the project by. 243 00:12:41,100 --> 00:12:44,620 Took a while to get it set up, but Chico Cope got their 244 00:12:44,620 --> 00:12:48,640 marching orders, and like I tell Becky from time to time 245 00:12:48,640 --> 00:12:52,260 when we talk, the county's driving the boat on this, 246 00:12:52,260 --> 00:12:56,540 but the number one stakeholder out there obviously is the city 247 00:12:56,540 --> 00:12:59,240 because all of it's city and you've got a lot going on there, 248 00:12:59,280 --> 00:13:04,320 so anything we do, we make sure that Becky, from the county 249 00:13:04,320 --> 00:13:06,480 standpoint, that Becky and the city are included 250 00:13:06,480 --> 00:13:10,580 in those conversations. 251 00:13:10,580 --> 00:13:18,800 Next, okay, 1515, we had our kickoff for this one on February 252 00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:25,400 15th, and basically we began preliminary design work for the 253 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,940 bridge layout, that's going to be the critical path item there 254 00:13:27,960 --> 00:13:32,300 by Bonnie Bray and 35W, and essentially we went ahead and 255 00:13:32,300 --> 00:13:38,420 started doing the design work in advance of our environmental 256 00:13:38,420 --> 00:13:41,720 clearance because we're fairly confident that the technical 257 00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:44,520 reports will be accepted and no major changes, 258 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,320 so we're trying to buy some time on this project by speeding up 259 00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,460 the design before we get the re-eval done, 260 00:13:51,460 --> 00:13:55,260 so I think we're good on this one. 261 00:13:55,260 --> 00:13:57,740 Yeah, I think we're good. 262 00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:04,540 We hired half-associates for this project at last Tuesday's 263 00:14:04,540 --> 00:14:08,720 court, and we're working with them to get a scope and fee, 264 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,780 and as soon as we get them on contract, again, 265 00:14:11,780 --> 00:14:16,960 this is primarily a city of Denton and Crum stakeholders, 266 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:21,500 and so we'll include, the county will include both entities in 267 00:14:21,500 --> 00:14:23,820 the kickoff meetings to make sure that what we're doing is 268 00:14:23,820 --> 00:14:27,660 what everybody wants us to do. 269 00:14:27,700 --> 00:14:30,660 Next. 270 00:14:30,660 --> 00:14:34,500 All right, so this one, unless you got questions, 271 00:14:34,500 --> 00:14:37,440 you know, Becky, I think, is working with Travis, 272 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,840 and we've got some calculations done, 273 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,320 and we're just working through the best path forward on that, 274 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:50,620 and I don't know if Becky wants to add anything to that or not. 275 00:14:50,620 --> 00:14:52,620 John, I believe you covered it. 276 00:14:52,660 --> 00:14:58,560 City staff has met in the field with TxDOT to review the 277 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,600 construction that needs to happen on the roadway. 278 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:03,000 We're working through that collaboration. 279 00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:07,000 Daniel Kramer is leading that charge from our Deputy Director 280 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,280 of Operations for Streets, Drainage, and Traffic, 281 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,340 so we're coordinating, really working through that process, 282 00:15:12,340 --> 00:15:16,380 so we hope to have that resolved in the next few weeks, 283 00:15:16,380 --> 00:15:20,480 but for sure, the on-the-ground visit has already taken place 284 00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:24,360 based on the cores that were collected for that area. 285 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:34,840 Sorry, so what's the completion timing? 286 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,540 There's currently not a completion schedule. 287 00:15:37,540 --> 00:15:41,500 What the process happened was TxDOT had to go out 288 00:15:41,500 --> 00:15:44,740 and complete cores along this area and actually do pavement 289 00:15:44,740 --> 00:15:50,080 cores to find out, you know, what was the actual surface 290 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:55,180 below the asphalt top, so they've done that. 291 00:15:55,180 --> 00:15:58,560 They have presented that information to city staff, 292 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:02,260 and a walk-through was held week before last, 293 00:16:02,260 --> 00:16:04,260 really to walk through that area, 294 00:16:04,260 --> 00:16:06,640 look at the pavement markings on the ground. 295 00:16:06,640 --> 00:16:10,000 Now city staff is evaluating that to make sure that we're 296 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,580 in alignment with the proposed construction that TxDOT is 297 00:16:13,580 --> 00:16:18,420 proposing, being that it's not exactly a complete rebuild. 298 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:23,020 It's a different process that they're working through. 299 00:16:23,020 --> 00:16:26,460 Once the agreement has been made between TxDOT and the city, 300 00:16:26,460 --> 00:16:31,460 then TxDOT will move forward with the design of those plans 301 00:16:31,460 --> 00:16:34,860 and then work through that construction timeframe. 302 00:16:34,860 --> 00:16:37,140 So until those decisions are made, 303 00:16:37,140 --> 00:16:40,800 city staff has not had that opportunity to set the timeframe. 304 00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,640 It's going to be based on TxDOT's schedule. 305 00:16:43,680 --> 00:16:49,940 Just to add to that a little bit, the path we're taking is a 306 00:16:49,940 --> 00:16:53,740 maintenance path because Travis is going to be able to get out 307 00:16:53,740 --> 00:16:58,880 there sooner and with the lesser degree of design work and if he 308 00:16:58,880 --> 00:17:02,020 goes through his maintenance, and TxDOT has agreed to use 309 00:17:02,020 --> 00:17:04,320 maintenance dollars to get this done. 310 00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:09,400 So we were talking, you know, 18 months or so to get it to where 311 00:17:09,400 --> 00:17:10,400 we can go to construction. 312 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:14,140 We're talking about several months now instead of, 313 00:17:14,140 --> 00:17:16,900 you know, a year and a half. 314 00:17:16,900 --> 00:17:20,280 >> To go, to get to the start of construction. 315 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,820 >> Correct, because the one thing that's happened since we 316 00:17:23,820 --> 00:17:30,120 started this opportunity is that TxDOT's kind of shut the door 317 00:17:30,120 --> 00:17:34,320 on any kind of turn back programs that reduce capacity. 318 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:38,900 We're not reducing capacity, but TxDOT knows that they have, 319 00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:40,800 they're going to have to make these improvements whether or 320 00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:44,100 not the city then takes these projects off system. 321 00:17:44,100 --> 00:17:48,300 So they're less worried about the agreement between the city 322 00:17:48,300 --> 00:17:52,000 and the state now and they just know they've got to get the 323 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,880 project done quick. 324 00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:56,580 >> And Mayor Perot, just for context, we're only talking 325 00:17:56,580 --> 00:18:00,580 about the portion that is south of Hickory where the recent 326 00:18:00,580 --> 00:18:04,520 pack four phases one and two project was completed with the 327 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:09,520 water sewer and drainage in that area that's the specific area 328 00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:12,760 that I'm referring to with the comments I just made. 329 00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:15,100 >> Yeah, I appreciate that. 330 00:18:15,100 --> 00:18:17,760 You know, and I totally hear that we don't have timing 331 00:18:17,760 --> 00:18:22,400 because we haven't gotten to an agreement, you know, on exactly 332 00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,680 the plan objectives and so on. 333 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,540 But can you know, can you just help us because we have to 334 00:18:28,540 --> 00:18:30,920 respond to constituents? 335 00:18:30,940 --> 00:18:36,220 Is it likely to be multiple years? 336 00:18:36,220 --> 00:18:39,220 >> No, sir, I think that, I think with this type of work and 337 00:18:39,220 --> 00:18:42,900 the fact that TxDOT is going to use their maintenance to do it, 338 00:18:42,900 --> 00:18:46,220 that we could probably, because they're going to know what, 339 00:18:46,220 --> 00:18:49,060 we're going to know what they think they want to do and we're 340 00:18:49,060 --> 00:18:52,840 going to press them to do, you know, 30, 40% more than that 341 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:55,040 anyway, just our contingency. 342 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:59,200 And then we think by spring we can have these guys rolling 343 00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:05,620 because the design for a rehab is far less difficult than the 344 00:19:05,620 --> 00:19:07,180 design for a reconstruction. 345 00:19:07,180 --> 00:19:10,660 >> Yeah, no, I get that as far as when to get started. 346 00:19:10,660 --> 00:19:15,020 And then is that, from that point on, what's the sort of, 347 00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:17,720 I'm sorry to, you know, be a bit of a problem. 348 00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:22,540 What's the sort of range of plausible outcomes for, 349 00:19:22,540 --> 00:19:25,240 you know, the end date? 350 00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:27,560 >> This type of work would be like months, I think. 351 00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:33,480 Not like a year, I think it would be done in a paving season. 352 00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:35,880 >> Okay, that's helpful to understand, thank you. 353 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,080 >> And Mayor Pritz, we are going to be continuing to work with 354 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:44,280 TxDOT to make sure that we're all in alignment. 355 00:19:44,280 --> 00:19:47,620 So part of the walkthrough process was to evaluate the 356 00:19:47,620 --> 00:19:52,420 areas of which TxDOT anticipated needed to be repaired versus 357 00:19:52,420 --> 00:19:56,260 the areas of which the city believed there were opportunities 358 00:19:56,300 --> 00:19:58,260 to also make repairs on. 359 00:19:58,260 --> 00:20:00,600 So that's a collaboration, making sure everyone's in 360 00:20:00,600 --> 00:20:03,700 alignment and we're in agreement with the construction 361 00:20:03,700 --> 00:20:08,940 that needs to happen, not only EGLE itself, but also Elm and 362 00:20:08,940 --> 00:20:12,520 Locust, like I mentioned, to just south of Hickory. 363 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,480 And those agreements, once those are in alignment, 364 00:20:15,480 --> 00:20:19,320 then we'll work forward with making sure that they have that 365 00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,760 plan to actually execute that through their maintenance 366 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:24,520 program like John is referring to. 367 00:20:24,560 --> 00:20:28,500 So we're still in the phase of making sure that we're all in 368 00:20:28,500 --> 00:20:32,160 alignment based on the data that's been collected because 369 00:20:32,160 --> 00:20:35,300 obviously, you know, there may be things that TxDOT didn't 370 00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:37,900 necessarily think needed to be repaired, but the city does 371 00:20:37,900 --> 00:20:40,540 think needs to be repaired, or vice versa. 372 00:20:40,540 --> 00:20:47,280 So it's not a whole, you know, from beginning to end that every 373 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:51,120 single portion of those roadways are in agreement that need to be 374 00:20:51,160 --> 00:20:54,820 completely repaired when I say that I mean completely rebuild. 375 00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:57,000 So we're walking through that process with them. 376 00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,860 >> Yeah, I understand. 377 00:21:00,860 --> 00:21:03,000 You know, you get the gist of where I'm coming from, but it's 378 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,640 just really hard answering the people operating those 379 00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:10,700 businesses along there. 380 00:21:10,700 --> 00:21:13,880 Anybody else? 381 00:21:13,880 --> 00:21:18,420 Okay. 382 00:21:18,420 --> 00:21:20,380 >> I think the next- >> Councilmember Byrd, I believe, 383 00:21:20,420 --> 00:21:27,880 is going to speak. 384 00:21:27,880 --> 00:21:32,920 >> Okay, I have it, I have it. 385 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:38,660 I need for you all to go back to the slide that talks about the 386 00:21:38,660 --> 00:21:43,900 380 corridor and the work being done up and around where the 387 00:21:43,940 --> 00:21:54,180 frontage road is, where the 288 going north, and I do understand 388 00:21:54,180 --> 00:22:04,900 that the work is proceeding on 380 and moving west, and I don't 389 00:22:04,900 --> 00:22:09,640 understand, I don't have in my mindset about how long will that 390 00:22:09,660 --> 00:22:14,640 particular portion take, is that the lit date that we see? 391 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:16,980 >> Are you talking about the blue section across the lake that 392 00:22:16,980 --> 00:22:18,840 has ended the loop? 393 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:25,640 >> The 380 project and going up to 288 and looping around. 394 00:22:25,640 --> 00:22:28,080 >> So you're talking about the feasibility, that slide right 395 00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,580 there, yes. 396 00:22:29,580 --> 00:22:35,420 >> That's it, yeah, 380 feasibility study, and I don't 397 00:22:35,460 --> 00:22:40,560 see any dates or anything on there, but I am wanting to just 398 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:47,140 kind of get a ball figure idea of when will it finish up at the 399 00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:52,380 288, 380 section, I mean, how long is this going to take? 400 00:22:52,380 --> 00:22:57,740 >> Okay, so I think there is a project that's under construction 401 00:22:57,740 --> 00:23:03,380 right now, if you'll move up the report to the, move up to the 402 00:23:03,420 --> 00:23:08,760 2, 380s that are under construction, go for one more, 403 00:23:08,760 --> 00:23:11,800 keep one more, yeah, so this right here ties in, this right 404 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:15,700 there ties into the loop with the interim improvements, and it 405 00:23:15,700 --> 00:23:19,400 has a December 23 completion date, so all the work that we're 406 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:24,940 doing to add six lanes to 380 from the loop to 377, that work 407 00:23:24,940 --> 00:23:28,380 will be done December of next year. 408 00:23:28,380 --> 00:23:31,520 Now if you're talking about the eastern section, if you'll 409 00:23:31,540 --> 00:23:34,140 scroll down, we have a completion date on that as 410 00:23:34,140 --> 00:23:38,520 well, because we have the let date, so we're talking about 411 00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:43,960 January 22, they said it would be 36 months, so you're talking 412 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:51,740 about January 25, 22, 23, 24, 25 for it to be complete, and 413 00:23:51,740 --> 00:23:55,540 that's adding the six lanes and the raised median and all the 414 00:23:55,560 --> 00:24:01,540 interchanges at Nabotel, Legacy, 423, and 720. 415 00:24:01,540 --> 00:24:11,580 >> Okay, okay, and then on that 288 portion of that project-- 416 00:24:11,580 --> 00:24:15,160 >> Okay, the one that goes around the, that we just hired-- 417 00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:18,320 >> Yeah, the loop, yeah, the north loop, yeah. 418 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:22,020 >> Yeah, so if you'll go to the feasibility page-- 419 00:24:22,020 --> 00:24:23,620 >> Right there, that's it. 420 00:24:23,660 --> 00:24:26,760 >> Okay, so Denton County hired Pacheco Cope to do the 421 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:31,540 environmental study to put frontage roads and turn that part 422 00:24:31,540 --> 00:24:36,180 of the loop into a freeway so that the businesses can attach 423 00:24:36,180 --> 00:24:39,380 to the frontage road and not directly to the main lanes, and 424 00:24:39,380 --> 00:24:44,720 we will have those people on contract in the next 30 days, 425 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:48,760 and we are making, obviously, y'all are, from the county 426 00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:52,160 standpoint, that's where a lot of pressure from the city is 427 00:24:52,180 --> 00:24:56,460 getting, and so we'll make sure that we have PK very closely 428 00:24:56,460 --> 00:24:59,700 aligned with Becky and your development services as we move 429 00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:02,000 forward. 430 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,640 >> Are frontage roads built first before the main part of 431 00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,140 the highway? 432 00:25:07,140 --> 00:25:09,800 >> So right now you've got the main lanes out there on this 433 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,900 section of Loop 288. 434 00:25:12,900 --> 00:25:15,420 There's places in the other parts of the county and other 435 00:25:15,420 --> 00:25:20,280 parts of the region where frontage roads are first and then 436 00:25:20,320 --> 00:25:24,620 the main lanes come in, like on the Dallas North Toll Road, or 437 00:25:24,620 --> 00:25:28,260 it's like 35W where it's got main lanes and no frontage roads 438 00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:30,800 or we're coming back putting frontage roads on them or the 439 00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:36,340 loop, so it just depends on what people did back in the day. 440 00:25:36,340 --> 00:25:39,740 We're just trying to fix what's not there, which in this case 441 00:25:39,740 --> 00:25:41,340 is the frontage roads. 442 00:25:41,340 --> 00:25:43,600 >> Okay, thank you so much, I appreciate that. 443 00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:47,580 That gives me a better perspective of some 444 00:25:47,600 --> 00:25:50,720 conversations that are being had with some developers and you 445 00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:53,240 know, and just the growth more towards that way. 446 00:25:53,240 --> 00:25:57,480 I have a question here that a constituent asked. 447 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,080 Is it okay if I ask this question? 448 00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,000 I don't know where it belongs in the conversation, but while I 449 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:03,460 have the floor. 450 00:26:03,460 --> 00:26:10,660 She said, "I did have a question for Raymond, though," you know, 451 00:26:10,660 --> 00:26:12,700 I'm a teacher, I've got to throw my little commas and 452 00:26:12,700 --> 00:26:15,200 everything in there, I'm sorry. 453 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:19,780 I did have a question for Raymond, though, if it could be 454 00:26:19,780 --> 00:26:24,120 asked, and the question is, "Due to a portion of Bonnie Bray 455 00:26:24,120 --> 00:26:30,020 being closed and number seven, I guess it's the bus route, is 456 00:26:30,020 --> 00:26:35,160 rerouted, are the bus stops from Panhandle to University and 457 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:38,600 University going towards 35 being bypassed again, like they 458 00:26:38,600 --> 00:26:42,700 were a few years ago," so this sounds like this is apparently a 459 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:47,260 DCTA question or city question. 460 00:26:47,260 --> 00:26:49,800 I didn't know where to put that in the grand scheme of things 461 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,040 here. 462 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:55,180 >> Sure, Councilmember Bird, we will take that question and work 463 00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:59,540 with Raymond to find out the exact locations that this 464 00:26:59,540 --> 00:27:04,380 constituent is referring to and get that question clarified, so 465 00:27:04,380 --> 00:27:05,620 that's not a problem. 466 00:27:05,620 --> 00:27:07,460 >> Okay, thank you very much. 467 00:27:07,460 --> 00:27:08,480 All right, my time is done. 468 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:13,500 That's one from McGuire, anything else? 469 00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:15,720 You're ready to keep going? 470 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:20,940 >> I'd like to jump in, Logan, you read my mind with this slide 471 00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:24,440 there, just to talk a little bit about Phase 2 on Elm and Locust 472 00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,480 and just make you all aware of the conversations we're having. 473 00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,780 We know there's a lot of complicated issues going on 474 00:27:30,780 --> 00:27:33,520 here, obviously we have the water/wastewater project that 475 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,940 we're all hearing about, that part has been delayed for a 476 00:27:35,980 --> 00:27:38,420 number of years, we have the funding, we're ready to roll, 477 00:27:38,420 --> 00:27:41,920 we're just waiting on drainage issues and the road 478 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:43,160 construction there. 479 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,060 The drainage issues are significant, so we had a 480 00:27:46,060 --> 00:27:48,660 conversation with John just on Friday about how can we work 481 00:27:48,660 --> 00:27:51,900 with TechStock to look at funding for the drainage, where 482 00:27:51,900 --> 00:27:54,340 are we going to find other funding for drainage, because the 483 00:27:54,340 --> 00:27:58,300 drainage is kind of the linchpin to do a lot of the roadway and 484 00:27:58,300 --> 00:28:00,780 the water/wastewater project, so I think this is something, 485 00:28:00,780 --> 00:28:02,580 obviously when we have the turn back conversations and 486 00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:04,880 everything else, that we're going to be talking about 487 00:28:04,900 --> 00:28:07,780 frequently over the next few months, I'm sure, and just want 488 00:28:07,780 --> 00:28:10,520 to let you all know that we are actively working on trying to 489 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:12,880 coincide all these things because they all fit together, 490 00:28:12,880 --> 00:28:16,580 and the drainage piece really is kind of that first thing we 491 00:28:16,580 --> 00:28:21,160 need to figure out as we move forward on those projects. 492 00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:22,300 >> Thank you. 493 00:28:22,300 --> 00:28:33,100 >> And the glossary of terms is the last page, so unless you 494 00:28:33,140 --> 00:28:36,080 have questions, that's pretty much it for my side of the 495 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:38,100 story. 496 00:28:38,100 --> 00:28:41,780 >> You're not going to read the glossary? 497 00:28:41,780 --> 00:28:45,980 >> Only to put you to sleep. 498 00:28:45,980 --> 00:28:47,280 >> Don't say that, we were up late last night. 499 00:28:47,280 --> 00:28:48,820 That'd be a little too easy. 500 00:28:48,820 --> 00:28:49,860 >> Sorry. 501 00:28:49,860 --> 00:28:52,020 >> All right, well, thank you very much. 502 00:28:52,020 --> 00:28:55,000 Any other questions? 503 00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:57,460 Great, thanks, John. 504 00:28:57,460 --> 00:29:02,400 We'll move on to item C, receive a report and hold a discussion 505 00:29:02,440 --> 00:29:06,980 regarding the consideration of removing DCTA's wayside horn on 506 00:29:06,980 --> 00:29:09,000 Shady Oaks Drive. 507 00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:13,480 >> Okay, and I'll just stay up here because I'm giving the 508 00:29:13,480 --> 00:29:15,820 presentation. 509 00:29:15,820 --> 00:29:18,660 Good morning, hope everybody's doing well. 510 00:29:18,660 --> 00:29:20,680 Let me share my screen. 511 00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:31,800 All righty, so this is for the removal of the DCTA wayside horn 512 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,240 on Shady Oaks Drive. 513 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:38,400 A little background, in March of 2021, staff was contacted by a 514 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,680 resident concerned about the volume of the wayside horn at 515 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,980 the Shady Oaks Crossing. 516 00:29:43,980 --> 00:29:48,340 This intersection is currently a quiet zone implemented by DCTA. 517 00:29:48,340 --> 00:29:54,820 It is a quiet zone approved by the FRA. 518 00:29:54,820 --> 00:29:59,620 This railroad line is maintained by DCTA for the A train, and 519 00:29:59,660 --> 00:30:03,200 there are currently three DCTA wayside horns within city limits 520 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:06,800 at Sycamore, Shady Oaks, and Mayhill. 521 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:14,380 So we've been working with DCTA's consultant who also works 522 00:30:14,380 --> 00:30:19,440 with the FRA on the feasibility of removing the wayside horn. 523 00:30:19,440 --> 00:30:22,380 They confirmed that the wayside horn could be removed, but other 524 00:30:22,380 --> 00:30:25,380 requirements would have to be met to maintain the FRA quiet 525 00:30:25,380 --> 00:30:27,860 zone requirements. 526 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,520 So there's a few ways that you can maintain a quiet zone, and 527 00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:35,900 you can implement putting in medians across so people can't 528 00:30:35,900 --> 00:30:42,800 cross the intersection, but due to Curly Street and the Longhorn 529 00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:48,000 business over here on the bottom part of the map, that is not 530 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,240 going to be a feasible solution. 531 00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:55,620 So their recommendation is installing a four-quadrant gate. 532 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,620 Four-quadrant gate systems are gate at the crossing that 533 00:30:58,620 --> 00:31:02,920 sufficiently blocks, fully block traffic, highway traffic, 534 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,800 goodness, from entering the crossing when the gates are 535 00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:09,220 lowered, including at least one gate for each direction of 536 00:31:09,220 --> 00:31:11,500 traffic on each approach. 537 00:31:11,500 --> 00:31:14,540 So there are currently three intersections that have four 538 00:31:14,540 --> 00:31:17,940 quadrant gates in the city limits, Morse Street, Duncan, 539 00:31:17,940 --> 00:31:20,340 and Parker's Page Road. 540 00:31:20,340 --> 00:31:23,040 And then you can see over here what the four-quadrant gate 541 00:31:23,080 --> 00:31:28,020 looks like. 542 00:31:28,020 --> 00:31:31,480 So the cost estimate for installing the two exits and 543 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,260 removing the existing horn is about $126,000. 544 00:31:36,260 --> 00:31:39,220 This is an estimate and depends on material costs, including 545 00:31:39,220 --> 00:31:41,900 design and project management costs. 546 00:31:41,900 --> 00:31:45,560 If the mobility committee chooses to move forward, funding 547 00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:47,960 considerations will be put during the budget 548 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,100 consideration process. 549 00:31:51,140 --> 00:31:55,680 The timeline, so this will be once the wayside horn, or once 550 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:59,180 we start construction, you'll get a 60-day notice, construction 551 00:31:59,180 --> 00:32:03,580 time, and then 20-day notice to establish that does not begin 552 00:32:03,580 --> 00:32:07,060 until construction has completed. 553 00:32:07,060 --> 00:32:10,380 So the next step is receive and address direction provided by 554 00:32:10,380 --> 00:32:11,820 mobility committee. 555 00:32:11,820 --> 00:32:16,400 So we're just looking for a recommendation from you guys on 556 00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,040 how to proceed forward. 557 00:32:19,060 --> 00:32:21,460 Just to clarify, this is just one resident who's 558 00:32:21,460 --> 00:32:25,200 reached out to us. 559 00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:29,680 >> I'm sorry, what did the resident say? 560 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:32,680 >> They're concerned, so they live close to the Shady Oaks 561 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:37,840 Drive Crossing, and they can hear the wayside horn, and it's 562 00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:41,460 very loud, and they're wondering if we can remove it. 563 00:32:41,460 --> 00:32:43,480 >> Oh, yeah, okay. 564 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,020 I'm sure you've heard from more than one resident over the years 565 00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:48,500 on that. 566 00:32:48,520 --> 00:32:49,520 >> We have not. 567 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:52,760 We have only heard from one, yes. 568 00:32:52,760 --> 00:32:57,200 That has contacted us directly and has been in contact with CMO. 569 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:02,580 >> I can tell you that's like an applause line to talk about 570 00:33:02,580 --> 00:33:03,900 getting rid of that. 571 00:33:03,900 --> 00:33:06,540 I'll take questions and comments from other members, 572 00:33:06,540 --> 00:33:07,720 and I've got it. 573 00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:09,620 >> Vicki Burritt here. 574 00:33:09,620 --> 00:33:13,260 You all have actually received two, for sure, because I'm also 575 00:33:13,260 --> 00:33:17,820 one of those other people that have been affected by that horn, 576 00:33:17,860 --> 00:33:21,400 and I don't live near that area, but I know that I can hear that 577 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:26,500 horn because it's a different sound, it's a different sound 578 00:33:26,500 --> 00:33:31,260 from when the, you know, the regular train comes through. 579 00:33:31,260 --> 00:33:32,300 >> Yes, ma'am. 580 00:33:32,300 --> 00:33:35,040 >> And so if I'm standing in my backyard, and this has happened 581 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:40,320 to me several times, but because I don't live right there, but I 582 00:33:40,320 --> 00:33:45,180 know if I can hear that horn from where I live, others are 583 00:33:45,220 --> 00:33:50,960 just not, I don't think that they're just, or, you know, as 584 00:33:50,960 --> 00:33:53,900 annoyed about it as this gentleman is apparently, but I 585 00:33:53,900 --> 00:33:57,800 know that they're probably affected by it. 586 00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:01,440 I've heard that horn before several times, so I also added 587 00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:08,280 my name to the list of, you know, as a complainant. 588 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:09,300 >> Yes, ma'am. 589 00:34:09,300 --> 00:34:13,840 >> So I would definitely like to, did you have any additional? 590 00:34:13,880 --> 00:34:16,720 >> Oh, I mean, I just want to lend my support to what I think 591 00:34:16,720 --> 00:34:20,020 you were about to say, which is you live pretty far from that. 592 00:34:20,020 --> 00:34:21,260 >> I do, I live pretty far from there. 593 00:34:21,260 --> 00:34:22,960 >> From that crossing, and if you can hear it, that's loud. 594 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:23,980 >> I can hear it. 595 00:34:23,980 --> 00:34:27,600 1230 at night, I'm sitting on my back porch, and I said I can 596 00:34:27,600 --> 00:34:28,600 hear that horn. 597 00:34:28,600 --> 00:34:29,960 >> Yes, and if you're hearing the wayside horn at that hour, 598 00:34:29,960 --> 00:34:32,560 it's because DCTA is doing maintenance on the railroad 599 00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:35,760 track, and they're required to sound the horn for safety 600 00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:36,760 reasons. 601 00:34:36,760 --> 00:34:38,000 >> Right, I understand. 602 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:42,440 So I'd like to give direction for the city to move forward 603 00:34:42,480 --> 00:34:46,080 with that project. 604 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:50,420 >> And I concur, I would also like to move forward with that. 605 00:34:50,420 --> 00:34:54,320 >> So I have just a couple of questions. 606 00:34:54,320 --> 00:35:02,460 How much would it cost to make the lane-changing, I forget the 607 00:35:02,460 --> 00:35:05,360 exact terms in the backup, but, you know, one of the options was 608 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,760 doing this, another is, you know, there's a comment in the 609 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:12,000 presentation about the medians aren't adequate, but what would 610 00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:14,800 it cost to do that, to make it so that you can't change lanes? 611 00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:18,780 My understanding of the basic idea of the four gates so you 612 00:35:18,780 --> 00:35:23,220 can't go in the wrong lane and get around the gate, but the 613 00:35:23,220 --> 00:35:27,020 other way to accomplish that is with like a deep curb, is that 614 00:35:27,020 --> 00:35:28,120 the general idea? 615 00:35:28,120 --> 00:35:32,160 >> Yes, so you extend the median on both sides, but because of 616 00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:39,100 the placement of, I believe it's curly, you're not able to do 617 00:35:39,100 --> 00:35:40,600 that. 618 00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:41,460 >> Oh, okay. 619 00:35:41,500 --> 00:35:45,160 Yes, so curly street is too close to the intersection and you 620 00:35:45,160 --> 00:35:48,700 have to maintain, I can't remember off the top of my head 621 00:35:48,700 --> 00:35:53,040 what the length of the curb is, or of the median, and you have 622 00:35:53,040 --> 00:35:57,380 to maintain that length to be FRA compliant, and because of 623 00:35:57,380 --> 00:35:59,880 where curly street is, we can't meet that. 624 00:35:59,880 --> 00:36:00,980 >> So it's a fiscal obstacle. 625 00:36:00,980 --> 00:36:07,720 Okay, $126,000 is a lot of money, but it sounds like that's 626 00:36:07,720 --> 00:36:09,200 the only option you have. 627 00:36:09,220 --> 00:36:12,000 >> Yeah, I join the majority. 628 00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,120 >> Okay. 629 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,500 >> All right, I think anything else? 630 00:36:14,500 --> 00:36:16,360 We're good on, we're done with that item? 631 00:36:16,360 --> 00:36:19,500 >> I would just point out this was Logan's first presentation, 632 00:36:19,500 --> 00:36:20,800 so great job, Logan. 633 00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:22,800 >> Oh, hey, congratulations. 634 00:36:22,800 --> 00:36:25,140 >> Yay. 635 00:36:25,140 --> 00:36:32,280 >> So just to clarify, so the gate on the north side of the 636 00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:36,020 railroad tracks would be in between curly and the railroad 637 00:36:36,020 --> 00:36:39,020 tracks, right? 638 00:36:39,060 --> 00:36:41,520 >> I believe so. 639 00:36:41,520 --> 00:36:43,860 >> Oh, yeah, one other question. 640 00:36:43,860 --> 00:36:48,360 There's some discussion in the backup about the impact of 641 00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:50,360 presence sensors. 642 00:36:50,360 --> 00:36:54,160 Is it our plan to have presence sensors, or not, and it sounds 643 00:36:54,160 --> 00:36:57,840 like it must serve some purpose, but it sounds like they actually 644 00:36:57,840 --> 00:37:03,540 diminish safety, so that's what I'm asking. 645 00:37:03,540 --> 00:37:07,520 >> Are you talking about the FRA quiet zone requirements page? 646 00:37:07,540 --> 00:37:10,820 >> Yeah, yep. 647 00:37:10,820 --> 00:37:14,660 >> I'm not sure that wasn't DCTA's consultant's 648 00:37:14,660 --> 00:37:21,120 recommendation, so I will have to get back to you on that. 649 00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:25,260 >> Okay, sounds like, you know, most of the actions would be the 650 00:37:25,260 --> 00:37:30,000 same anyway to get the gates, but yeah, I'd like to understand. 651 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,980 >> Yeah, I believe they gave us the most feasible option, both 652 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:39,280 cost-wise and do-ability. 653 00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,880 >> Great, thank you. 654 00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:47,580 All right, I'll close that item and open item D, receive a report 655 00:37:47,580 --> 00:37:50,520 and hold a discussion regarding the project schedules and 656 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:53,960 sequencing of construction associated with the different 657 00:37:53,960 --> 00:37:58,360 phases of the I-35 widening and Bonnie Bray reconstruction 658 00:37:58,360 --> 00:38:00,400 projects. 659 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,540 >> Good morning, my name is Kyle Pettigrew, I'm a program manager 660 00:38:03,580 --> 00:38:08,480 with Capital Improvements and here to discuss the phasing 661 00:38:08,480 --> 00:38:13,580 between I-35 and Bonnie Bray and adjacent projects. 662 00:38:13,620 --> 00:38:33,740 Let me see, where's the share screen? 663 00:38:33,740 --> 00:38:35,800 First we'll go through an overview of the adjacent 664 00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:38,260 projects surrounding Bonnie Bray. 665 00:38:38,260 --> 00:38:41,200 So this map is a little bit zoomed out just to capture all 666 00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:46,620 of the projects, we do have it in an additional exhibit. 667 00:38:46,620 --> 00:38:51,620 So we have the I-35 city utility relocations, these are the 668 00:38:51,620 --> 00:38:57,620 relocations associated with TechStats expansion of I-35 from 669 00:38:57,620 --> 00:39:00,760 Mayhill to Loop 288 and then from the east-west split up to 670 00:39:00,760 --> 00:39:02,400 Milam Road. 671 00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:06,260 The timeframe of these improvements is quarter three of 672 00:39:06,260 --> 00:39:09,940 this year to quarter four of 2023. 673 00:39:09,960 --> 00:39:12,480 We have the Denton Municipal electric construction of the 674 00:39:12,480 --> 00:39:14,500 Hickory substation. 675 00:39:14,500 --> 00:39:17,240 This is a new electrical substation, it's on the east 676 00:39:17,240 --> 00:39:21,120 side of Bonnie Bray between West Oak and West Hickory. 677 00:39:21,120 --> 00:39:24,920 So the substation construction is from quarter four this year 678 00:39:24,920 --> 00:39:28,920 to quarter two of 2024 and they also have a small amount of 679 00:39:28,920 --> 00:39:32,320 duck bank construction in that area, underground duck bank, 680 00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:36,100 from quarter two to quarter four of 2024. 681 00:39:36,100 --> 00:39:39,560 We have the TechStat widening of I-35, so that's the widening 682 00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:45,140 and reconstruction that Mr. Polster reviewed earlier on I-35, 683 00:39:45,140 --> 00:39:48,840 again Mayhill to Loop 288 and from the east-west split to 684 00:39:48,840 --> 00:39:50,340 Milam Road. 685 00:39:50,340 --> 00:39:53,820 So their projects are slated for quarter four of next year to 686 00:39:53,820 --> 00:39:57,760 quarter four of 2027. 687 00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,420 In looking at this phasing, we discussed it with TechStat 688 00:40:00,420 --> 00:40:04,700 several times and we verified that traffic will not be 689 00:40:04,700 --> 00:40:08,340 rerouted along city streets during this time period. 690 00:40:08,360 --> 00:40:12,340 And TechStat is committed to maintaining their lane counts in 691 00:40:12,340 --> 00:40:14,700 the construction area during construction. 692 00:40:14,700 --> 00:40:19,180 So we have the quote of what they committed to below. 693 00:40:19,180 --> 00:40:25,320 Here's the Bonnie Bray reconstruction. 694 00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:32,820 So phase three, that's south of 35, that's the purple segment. 695 00:40:32,820 --> 00:40:36,820 That one is fully funded through RTR and utility funds. 696 00:40:36,860 --> 00:40:43,100 Phase four is the green segment from 35 to scripture. 697 00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:47,200 Design and acquisitions on that are funded through 2014 bond 698 00:40:47,200 --> 00:40:48,640 and RTR. 699 00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,040 We're working with the 2022 county bond program for the 700 00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:56,620 remainder of the construction funding. 701 00:40:56,620 --> 00:41:02,280 This project is in the same area as the current north-south 702 00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,780 Watermain phase three project. 703 00:41:05,820 --> 00:41:08,660 That's the project on Bonnie Bray installing the water 704 00:41:08,660 --> 00:41:10,160 transmission line. 705 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:13,300 So north-south water phase three includes temporary restoration 706 00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:16,860 of the road surface for the south bond lanes where the water 707 00:41:16,860 --> 00:41:19,760 line is being installed. 708 00:41:19,760 --> 00:41:22,900 That's set to be completed by quarter two of this year and 709 00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:25,140 we're exploring options to expand that temporary 710 00:41:25,140 --> 00:41:28,940 restoration to the north bond lanes due to the condition that 711 00:41:28,940 --> 00:41:35,680 they're in until this phase four, the full road reconstruction 712 00:41:35,720 --> 00:41:40,780 is scheduled to begin in 2024. 713 00:41:40,780 --> 00:41:44,220 Phase five is from scripture to US 380. 714 00:41:44,220 --> 00:41:46,820 That's the outline in pink. 715 00:41:46,820 --> 00:41:53,500 That is funded by 2019 bond funding. 716 00:41:53,500 --> 00:41:54,840 That's utilized by phase six. 717 00:41:54,840 --> 00:41:57,800 So as phase six is reimbursed by TechStat, that funding will be 718 00:41:57,800 --> 00:41:59,740 used for phase five construction. 719 00:41:59,740 --> 00:42:03,980 And then phase six is from US 380 to US 77. 720 00:42:04,020 --> 00:42:09,680 That's the blue segment on the northern end of Bonnie Bray. 721 00:42:09,680 --> 00:42:12,680 So that's funded through utilities and 2019 bond and that 722 00:42:12,680 --> 00:42:16,860 is reimbursable by TechStat. 723 00:42:16,860 --> 00:42:20,820 So here's an overall program schedule. 724 00:42:20,820 --> 00:42:27,060 The top part of it includes the adjacent projects and the bottom 725 00:42:27,060 --> 00:42:30,540 section includes the Bonnie Bray reconstruction. 726 00:42:30,540 --> 00:42:33,580 So a few notes on this. 727 00:42:33,600 --> 00:42:36,740 The Bonnie Bray program will overlap with these adjacent 728 00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:41,640 construction projects until mid 2026 when Bonnie Bray is set 729 00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:44,080 to be completed. 730 00:42:44,080 --> 00:42:47,960 TechStat has committed to maintain their traffic pattern 731 00:42:47,960 --> 00:42:51,960 and a high level traffic study suggests that the I-35 732 00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,800 construction will not have a significant increase of traffic 733 00:42:56,800 --> 00:43:01,060 on Bonnie Bray during that reconstruction. 734 00:43:01,100 --> 00:43:06,980 So Bonnie Bray phase four, we are working with the county bond 735 00:43:06,980 --> 00:43:09,440 to fund the construction portion. 736 00:43:09,440 --> 00:43:12,820 And then the further note that that pork pavement quality due 737 00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:14,720 to construction on the north-south water main phase 738 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:20,860 three, we're looking to remedy that through temporary surface 739 00:43:20,860 --> 00:43:24,420 restoration that would be designed to last until phase 740 00:43:24,420 --> 00:43:29,460 four of Bonnie Bray begins in 2024. 741 00:43:29,500 --> 00:43:33,300 So then here's just a overall construction heat maps. 742 00:43:33,300 --> 00:43:37,040 So on the left we have 2022. 743 00:43:37,040 --> 00:43:39,440 Any line in blue is a City of Denton project. 744 00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,300 Any line in red is a TechStat project. 745 00:43:42,300 --> 00:43:46,480 So if you notice the blue lines, we have construction, 746 00:43:46,480 --> 00:43:50,540 the utility relocations over at May Hill and right by the 747 00:43:50,540 --> 00:43:53,780 east-west split of 35 beginning. 748 00:43:53,820 --> 00:43:59,820 We have the north-south water finishing up their temporary 749 00:43:59,820 --> 00:44:03,600 surface restoration and then phase six and phase three, 750 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:07,100 the far southern end and the far northern end of Bonnie Bray 751 00:44:07,100 --> 00:44:08,340 beginning. 752 00:44:08,340 --> 00:44:14,840 Next year we would have all of the utility relocations for 753 00:44:14,840 --> 00:44:17,980 TechStat underway while phase six and phase three are fully 754 00:44:17,980 --> 00:44:21,320 underway for Bonnie Bray. 755 00:44:21,340 --> 00:44:25,520 2024 we would be done with the TechStat utility relocations, 756 00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,820 but they would begin their work in red while we're finishing up 757 00:44:28,820 --> 00:44:34,020 phase three and six and in the middle of phase four. 758 00:44:34,020 --> 00:44:39,660 And then 2025 to '26 on the far right we have TechStats work 759 00:44:39,660 --> 00:44:42,700 completing while Bonnie Bray is just finishing up phase five 760 00:44:42,700 --> 00:44:44,740 in the middle. 761 00:44:44,740 --> 00:44:49,140 Any questions on the coordination between the 762 00:44:49,140 --> 00:44:50,740 projects? 763 00:44:50,780 --> 00:44:53,420 >> Kyle, if I could just jump in real quick, just a little 764 00:44:53,420 --> 00:44:56,080 context, I think, you know, we really looked at a number of 765 00:44:56,080 --> 00:44:58,480 different options when we came up with this proposal. 766 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,620 We know that, I mean, and I think we tried to make it clear 767 00:45:00,620 --> 00:45:04,920 on the map, 2024 is going to be kind of a nightmare, right? 768 00:45:04,920 --> 00:45:07,060 I mean, we're going to hear a lot of comments. 769 00:45:07,060 --> 00:45:09,760 We're going to have a significant public outreach push 770 00:45:09,760 --> 00:45:12,060 to make sure everyone's aware of what's going on. 771 00:45:12,060 --> 00:45:16,100 But we're going to be fully prepared for questions and 772 00:45:16,100 --> 00:45:17,940 complaints and everything along with it. 773 00:45:17,980 --> 00:45:20,780 We looked at maybe phasing out Bonnie Bray and kind of 774 00:45:20,780 --> 00:45:24,540 extending the project, but really this was the best option 775 00:45:24,540 --> 00:45:27,880 to kind of rip the bandaid off and just do everything we can. 776 00:45:27,880 --> 00:45:31,580 So just a little context and all the work that went into this. 777 00:45:31,580 --> 00:45:34,560 >> Yeah, I definitely appreciate that and, you know, 778 00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,720 I think that this can be filed under growing pains. 779 00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:44,260 It sounds like staff has done the best they can to design a 780 00:45:44,300 --> 00:45:48,140 plan that will minimize those growing pains, but these are 781 00:45:48,140 --> 00:45:51,600 just the types of situations that we run into when a city is 782 00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,180 growing as fast as we are. 783 00:45:54,180 --> 00:45:57,280 >> I would mention too that one of the big decision points when 784 00:45:57,280 --> 00:46:02,140 staff, Kyle, myself, et cetera, worked with TxDOT and really 785 00:46:02,140 --> 00:46:05,160 understood how they're going to construct. 786 00:46:05,160 --> 00:46:08,260 Dallas District of TxDOT has a protocol that they follow. 787 00:46:08,260 --> 00:46:12,260 Kyle mentioned it, where they do not lower the level of service. 788 00:46:12,300 --> 00:46:15,220 So if there's three lanes out there today along 35, 789 00:46:15,220 --> 00:46:17,900 there's going to be three lanes out there during construction. 790 00:46:17,900 --> 00:46:20,540 And that really changes the way you think about that overall 791 00:46:20,540 --> 00:46:23,040 construction in both of those areas with those roadways 792 00:46:23,040 --> 00:46:24,040 and alignments. 793 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:27,500 So that was a very helpful tool when we had that conversation 794 00:46:27,500 --> 00:46:29,680 with TxDOT really to bring that forward. 795 00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:32,940 Not every district of TxDOT does that, but that is the 796 00:46:32,940 --> 00:46:34,980 Dallas District's protocol. 797 00:46:34,980 --> 00:46:40,380 >> Councilmember Byrd, any comments or questions? 798 00:46:40,420 --> 00:46:45,960 I have a number of ma'am, but go ahead if you've got some. 799 00:46:45,960 --> 00:46:50,260 >> So the Bonnie Bray phases, I don't know, I mean, it's 800 00:46:50,260 --> 00:46:52,960 probably too late in the game to kind of bring this up, but, 801 00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:56,840 you know, obviously they're numbered from south to north, 802 00:46:56,840 --> 00:46:59,800 but they don't go in chronological order. 803 00:46:59,800 --> 00:47:04,540 Is there perhaps some way we can more clearly communicate that to 804 00:47:04,540 --> 00:47:06,780 the public, because that's going to be a little confusing, I 805 00:47:06,780 --> 00:47:10,280 think, to the public that phase four is going to be the last one 806 00:47:10,320 --> 00:47:12,320 to get done, not phase six. 807 00:47:12,320 --> 00:47:15,960 >> You have a problem with phase six being before phase five, 808 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:18,400 basically being concurrent with phase three? 809 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,320 I don't understand why it's confusing about that. 810 00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:21,760 >> I think that's a good point. 811 00:47:21,760 --> 00:47:23,160 We can think about that, especially on the public 812 00:47:23,160 --> 00:47:24,160 outreach. 813 00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:26,660 I think the numbers really were derived from the bond program, 814 00:47:26,660 --> 00:47:28,640 right, because we had the 2014 and we were looking at these 815 00:47:28,640 --> 00:47:31,680 phases, the opportunity to have six go first with the external 816 00:47:31,680 --> 00:47:34,800 funding really drove some of that, but I think that's a good 817 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:37,180 point, especially as we are outward focused on how we 818 00:47:37,180 --> 00:47:38,220 message that. 819 00:47:41,220 --> 00:47:48,920 >> I was talking with a constituent one day, and every 820 00:47:48,920 --> 00:47:51,920 time I talk to someone, they're always talking about the roads, 821 00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,000 and so I thought maybe we would design a program and call it 822 00:47:56,000 --> 00:48:00,760 get mad, get mad again, then be happy. 823 00:48:00,760 --> 00:48:03,600 So maybe that might be something that will help put all of this 824 00:48:03,600 --> 00:48:04,840 in perspective. 825 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:08,840 We're already mad, we're going to get mad again, and then we'll 826 00:48:08,880 --> 00:48:10,840 be happy someday. 827 00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:15,780 My question does go to the Bonnie Bray. 828 00:48:15,780 --> 00:48:18,380 It looks like it was coming along quite fine to me. 829 00:48:18,380 --> 00:48:23,120 I drive down Bonnie Bray here and there, and it looks like, 830 00:48:23,120 --> 00:48:25,320 you know, you can see the progress on it. 831 00:48:25,320 --> 00:48:28,360 And from a layperson's perspective, it appears as though 832 00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,300 it's starting to kind of wrap up. 833 00:48:30,300 --> 00:48:34,240 But as we look here, it seems like there's quite a bit more to 834 00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:36,700 go through with that project if we're looking at it. 835 00:48:36,740 --> 00:48:39,080 Of course, from top to bottom. 836 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:43,680 So it appears to be okay, especially on the northern side 837 00:48:43,680 --> 00:48:47,040 where we're wrapping it up and then closer to 35. 838 00:48:47,040 --> 00:48:48,720 It looks like it's okay. 839 00:48:48,720 --> 00:48:53,460 So it looks like we'll have to do some media work on teaching 840 00:48:53,460 --> 00:48:56,760 and educating the public as to how it's going to go through. 841 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:57,920 >> Thank you. 842 00:48:57,920 --> 00:49:00,020 >> Yep. 843 00:49:00,020 --> 00:49:05,560 >> So I have, you know, some questions that, I don't know, 844 00:49:05,600 --> 00:49:10,240 they may be stupid questions, but the premise, as it was 845 00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:14,980 explained to me, I think by pre-TAM, who's on here now, 846 00:49:14,980 --> 00:49:19,980 by somebody, was behind the whole effort to do Bonnie Bray 847 00:49:19,980 --> 00:49:24,020 and why it's been so heavily funded by the state was precisely 848 00:49:24,020 --> 00:49:27,820 because they wanted it to be an alternate route while so much 849 00:49:27,820 --> 00:49:29,580 work was being done on 35. 850 00:49:29,580 --> 00:49:32,620 Now, if, as, you know, to me, this is like the big headline, 851 00:49:32,620 --> 00:49:35,320 but it's in the footnote, if they're going to keep the same 852 00:49:35,360 --> 00:49:40,660 number of lanes going on 35 throughout construction, 853 00:49:40,660 --> 00:49:46,500 so there really isn't a need for that, why are we doing it? 854 00:49:46,500 --> 00:49:51,000 And before you answer, you know, and, or get over being 855 00:49:51,000 --> 00:49:57,380 thunderstruck by the bluntness of that question, some of it 856 00:49:57,380 --> 00:50:01,760 clearly has to do with the high school under construction. 857 00:50:01,780 --> 00:50:06,660 How does the timing that we've been shown sync up with key 858 00:50:06,660 --> 00:50:07,860 dates for that? 859 00:50:07,860 --> 00:50:10,800 So those are my two questions to start with. 860 00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,660 Why are we doing it if it's not, if the original purpose is not, 861 00:50:15,660 --> 00:50:17,100 no longer needed? 862 00:50:17,100 --> 00:50:22,340 And is the answer in part the high school and development 863 00:50:22,340 --> 00:50:24,840 around that and how are we doing on that timing? 864 00:50:27,840 --> 00:50:32,440 So as far as why we're doing it, the work that's planned is an 865 00:50:32,440 --> 00:50:37,880 overall street reconstruction, which includes not just surface 866 00:50:37,880 --> 00:50:42,020 restoration, it's total removal of the pavement, it's repair of 867 00:50:42,020 --> 00:50:45,920 the subgrade and placing back brand new pavement. 868 00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:51,900 And the reason for it, especially down towards 35, is 869 00:50:51,900 --> 00:50:55,400 temporary repairs or surface repairs have a very short 870 00:50:55,440 --> 00:51:01,280 lifespan, so we can resurface it, but with the traffic that it 871 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:05,540 sees, it will, it will need to be resurfaced again, you know, 872 00:51:05,540 --> 00:51:07,080 within five years. 873 00:51:07,080 --> 00:51:10,660 So with the overall reconstruction, that's a big 874 00:51:10,660 --> 00:51:11,660 portion of it. 875 00:51:11,660 --> 00:51:17,060 And then I believe as far as phase six with the, with the 876 00:51:17,060 --> 00:51:21,500 connection with the high school, there's a, that with the state 877 00:51:21,540 --> 00:51:25,760 funding and with the construction of the new high 878 00:51:25,760 --> 00:51:28,900 school there, that was the decision that pushed phase six 879 00:51:28,900 --> 00:51:33,600 to be constructed before the rest of the phase out of sequence. 880 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:38,280 If I could just jump in and try to answer your question, I think 881 00:51:38,280 --> 00:51:40,840 to answer your question specifically, I don't, you know, 882 00:51:40,840 --> 00:51:44,680 the push that Bonnie and Bray wasn't for the temporary time 883 00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:46,980 while they're doing 35 construction, I think it was the 884 00:51:46,980 --> 00:51:51,220 long term to have that alternate route long term, not just 885 00:51:51,260 --> 00:51:52,260 during construction. 886 00:51:52,260 --> 00:51:57,040 So I think that's a difference in framing the conversation. 887 00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,200 >> And, okay, thank you for that. 888 00:52:00,200 --> 00:52:05,140 And then, okay, now I get that the reason six was accelerated 889 00:52:05,140 --> 00:52:08,240 so that it no longer makes sense to call it six was because of 890 00:52:08,240 --> 00:52:09,320 the school. 891 00:52:09,320 --> 00:52:11,240 So does that timing still work? 892 00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:14,220 I mean, I'm saying that because I don't know exactly what the 893 00:52:14,220 --> 00:52:16,660 timing needs are for the school. 894 00:52:16,660 --> 00:52:21,080 So are we still meeting that objective? 895 00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:22,120 >> I believe so. 896 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:24,360 There's current capacity up there, you know, with the 897 00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,920 expansion of six starting this year. 898 00:52:26,920 --> 00:52:31,860 I believe that's going according to the discussed schedule. 899 00:52:31,860 --> 00:52:35,500 >> Could we, you know, maybe have a follow up note on that, 900 00:52:35,500 --> 00:52:39,340 just to kind of confirm that that's still on target? 901 00:52:39,340 --> 00:52:40,880 >> Yep. 902 00:52:40,880 --> 00:52:42,840 >> Appreciate that. 903 00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:48,940 And my last question is, I notice in the footnotes that it 904 00:52:48,980 --> 00:52:51,980 says that when they have temporary closures, which may 905 00:52:51,980 --> 00:52:56,360 occur due to demolition of bridges and a couple of other 906 00:52:56,360 --> 00:53:00,960 conditions, they say it will not go on city streets. 907 00:53:00,960 --> 00:53:04,160 It will use the TxDOT network. 908 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:09,660 That means not Monte Bray, Locust and Elm, right? 909 00:53:09,660 --> 00:53:12,900 >> They, so whenever they have to do that, they'll submit a 910 00:53:12,900 --> 00:53:16,580 plan, you know, the TxDOT network that they have to reroute 911 00:53:16,580 --> 00:53:18,440 through has to be able to handle the capacity that they're 912 00:53:18,480 --> 00:53:19,480 planning to reroute. 913 00:53:19,480 --> 00:53:21,320 So they'll have to submit a plan. 914 00:53:21,320 --> 00:53:25,860 I know Elm and Locust are logical because they're close, 915 00:53:25,860 --> 00:53:29,380 but they might not be able to handle the capacity of traffic 916 00:53:29,380 --> 00:53:33,560 that TxDOT is needing to move, so it may, you know, 917 00:53:33,560 --> 00:53:36,020 be over towards Luke 288. 918 00:53:36,020 --> 00:53:38,460 >> Okay, because that, yeah, my reaction was that that would be 919 00:53:38,460 --> 00:53:40,540 sort of potentially disastrous. 920 00:53:40,540 --> 00:53:44,900 So there are alternatives that would be considered. 921 00:53:44,900 --> 00:53:46,240 Okay, good to know. 922 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:49,940 >> Mayor Pritam, to that question, we will confirm with 923 00:53:49,940 --> 00:53:52,040 TxDOT that that's not their anticipation. 924 00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:55,540 I haven't been aware or had any conversations that an alternate 925 00:53:55,540 --> 00:53:58,980 route or an alternate location would be moving folks from 35 926 00:53:58,980 --> 00:54:01,020 to Elm and Locust, nor has Kyle. 927 00:54:01,020 --> 00:54:05,160 So we will confirm that, but that's not what we understood 928 00:54:05,160 --> 00:54:07,420 from the information that we received or the conversations 929 00:54:07,420 --> 00:54:08,960 that we've had with TxDOT. 930 00:54:08,960 --> 00:54:11,860 They will look to have other locations that are TxDOT 931 00:54:11,900 --> 00:54:16,460 structures to move folks to and from. 932 00:54:16,460 --> 00:54:19,200 >> Yeah, it'd be great to hear what, you know, they think they 933 00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:23,780 might be leaning toward. 934 00:54:23,780 --> 00:54:25,020 That's all I have on this item. 935 00:54:25,020 --> 00:54:28,640 Anyone else have anything else? 936 00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,780 Okay, thank you. 937 00:54:29,780 --> 00:54:30,920 >> Thank you. 938 00:54:30,920 --> 00:54:33,860 >> So we'll move on to item E, staff report. 939 00:54:41,900 --> 00:54:44,400 All righty, so the first thing we're going to start off with 940 00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,700 today on the staff report is I'm going to ask Brett to come down 941 00:54:48,700 --> 00:54:50,200 and introduce himself. 942 00:54:50,200 --> 00:54:53,140 I'm happy to announce that we now have a new deputy city 943 00:54:53,140 --> 00:54:55,420 engineer who started on Monday. 944 00:54:55,420 --> 00:54:58,020 So I know you're all very excited, as you know, that our 945 00:54:58,020 --> 00:55:01,180 department was much needing this position for a period of time. 946 00:55:01,180 --> 00:55:05,620 And so we have a new deputy city engineer who started on Monday. 947 00:55:05,620 --> 00:55:08,120 So I know you're all very excited, as you know, that our 948 00:55:08,120 --> 00:55:11,460 department was much needing this position for a period of time. 949 00:55:11,500 --> 00:55:14,400 And so we are going to have Brett come down and talk to us a 950 00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:17,240 little bit about his background and give him an opportunity to 951 00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:21,440 introduce himself. 952 00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:24,540 >> Welcome, Brett. 953 00:55:24,540 --> 00:55:25,580 >> Thank you. 954 00:55:25,580 --> 00:55:27,240 My name is Brett Bourgeois. 955 00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:28,840 I'm the new deputy city engineer. 956 00:55:28,840 --> 00:55:33,480 And I come from California by way of Minnesota, have eight 957 00:55:33,480 --> 00:55:37,020 years of experience of design experience in California, then 958 00:55:37,020 --> 00:55:40,120 have about seven years of project manage experience. 959 00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,220 Just recently five of it up in Minnesota, managing a light rail 960 00:55:43,220 --> 00:55:48,260 project for Minneapolis and the city's areas and then just 961 00:55:48,260 --> 00:55:52,040 relocated here about two weeks ago and started on Monday. 962 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:55,000 So I decided to be working here and getting to know everybody 963 00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:57,500 and being part of the city. 964 00:55:57,500 --> 00:56:02,520 >> We are really glad to have you and I believe you've picked 965 00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:04,040 a really nice place to live. 966 00:56:04,040 --> 00:56:05,640 >> Yes, I'm liking it a lot. 967 00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:06,640 It's very nice. 968 00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,520 It's nice to be able to cold, nice to be able to go outside 969 00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:12,860 year-round and enjoying everything that Fenton and 970 00:56:12,860 --> 00:56:14,820 Texas has to offer. 971 00:56:14,820 --> 00:56:16,400 >> Excellent. 972 00:56:16,400 --> 00:56:19,420 >> There's certainly no shortage of work for you. 973 00:56:19,420 --> 00:56:20,100 >> I know there is. 974 00:56:20,100 --> 00:56:21,660 Thank you. 975 00:56:21,660 --> 00:56:23,600 >> Thank you, Brett. 976 00:56:23,600 --> 00:56:24,600 All righty. 977 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:27,040 So we'll move on to the staff report. 978 00:56:36,580 --> 00:56:44,120 Let me play a little bit of -- all righty. 979 00:56:44,120 --> 00:56:47,360 So first thing that we did, obviously, was introduce Brett. 980 00:56:47,360 --> 00:56:49,900 The second item that is currently on our report is to 981 00:56:49,900 --> 00:56:53,160 talk about the speeding concerns along Dallas Drive. 982 00:56:53,160 --> 00:56:58,700 I had some several Friday reports that we have put out, 983 00:56:58,700 --> 00:57:02,200 obviously, that y'all get a copy of and that backup information. 984 00:57:02,200 --> 00:57:06,140 You can see that there was a Friday report in October and 985 00:57:06,180 --> 00:57:09,620 then, of course, another one later in October and then 986 00:57:09,620 --> 00:57:11,780 another one that happened in November. 987 00:57:11,780 --> 00:57:15,180 And so just wanted to kind of bring up, and I'll go back to 988 00:57:15,180 --> 00:57:17,920 the very top, just to kind of talk through our action plan and 989 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:20,400 our next steps. 990 00:57:20,400 --> 00:57:24,960 So, you know, during the last meeting that we had in December, 991 00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,460 you know, there was a request to talk about the speeding concerns 992 00:57:27,460 --> 00:57:28,800 along Dallas Drive. 993 00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:32,900 Reminder, Dallas Drive is a TxDOT roadway, but the following 994 00:57:32,900 --> 00:57:35,840 Friday report items really were the steps that staff has taken 995 00:57:35,880 --> 00:57:39,180 forward to prepare that information for all of you to 996 00:57:39,180 --> 00:57:41,080 address those speeding concerns. 997 00:57:41,080 --> 00:57:43,980 We've been in contact with the police department and we have 998 00:57:43,980 --> 00:57:46,880 regular meetings with them to really talk about what the speed 999 00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,560 studies show, what the information is that's collected 1000 00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,700 and discuss what additional measures could happen or occur 1001 00:57:53,700 --> 00:57:57,120 to help with those speeding concerns. 1002 00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:00,660 I will tell you that Nathan, I know I've mentioned this before, 1003 00:58:00,660 --> 00:58:03,740 is leading the citywide speed study effort and this roadway 1004 00:58:03,760 --> 00:58:06,800 has been added as a part of that and we think that will give us a 1005 00:58:06,800 --> 00:58:10,340 good idea based on the data collected and he has a number of 1006 00:58:10,340 --> 00:58:12,540 collection points along this roadway. 1007 00:58:12,540 --> 00:58:15,980 And so we are anticipating, based on that information coming 1008 00:58:15,980 --> 00:58:19,420 back, then looking at the speed limit of this particular roadway 1009 00:58:19,420 --> 00:58:22,620 to see if any modifications need to be made in coordination with 1010 00:58:22,620 --> 00:58:24,920 TxDOT. 1011 00:58:24,920 --> 00:58:27,760 Until that, obviously, I know we've talked about the date for 1012 00:58:27,760 --> 00:58:31,400 that to be completed and then come to share that with council. 1013 00:58:31,420 --> 00:58:33,860 And of course, mobility committee would be late August, 1014 00:58:33,860 --> 00:58:37,740 early September and so when we do bring that forward, 1015 00:58:37,740 --> 00:58:40,500 we'll talk about if there's modifications that need to be 1016 00:58:40,500 --> 00:58:42,540 made in this area. 1017 00:58:42,540 --> 00:58:47,940 For now, I guess I should mention of course PD will 1018 00:58:47,940 --> 00:58:51,780 continue to enforce the concerns and I know a lot of the concerns 1019 00:58:51,780 --> 00:58:54,680 that have been mentioned, just recently we've had that 1020 00:58:54,680 --> 00:58:59,160 conversation even last week with PD and they put some additional 1021 00:58:59,180 --> 00:59:02,760 measures out there to look in those areas where folks are 1022 00:59:02,760 --> 00:59:09,300 exiting 35 at a higher rate of speed and then of course it goes 1023 00:59:09,300 --> 00:59:14,100 down to 45 immediately to 35 and then in some areas all the way 1024 00:59:14,100 --> 00:59:16,700 to 30 as you come through town. 1025 00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:20,240 I myself have received a speeding violation on that roadway 1026 00:59:20,240 --> 00:59:24,140 about 20 years ago so I understand the concerns and know 1027 00:59:24,140 --> 00:59:27,820 how hard it is at many times to, you know, 1028 00:59:27,860 --> 00:59:29,920 obviously take your foot off the gas. 1029 00:59:29,920 --> 00:59:34,420 And you have to stop blaming yourself. 1030 00:59:34,420 --> 00:59:39,060 That feedback sign on Bell headed northbound like just 1031 00:59:39,060 --> 00:59:41,540 north of Dallas Drive is that gets me every time, 1032 00:59:41,540 --> 00:59:43,340 every single time I go past that sign, 1033 00:59:43,340 --> 00:59:45,040 I go, oh my gosh, I'm speeding. 1034 00:59:45,040 --> 00:59:49,240 Right, it's definitely hard to realize so just I wanted to 1035 00:59:49,240 --> 00:59:52,440 mention that just simply because obviously we understand the 1036 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:55,240 concerns, we're working to address those. 1037 00:59:55,240 --> 00:59:57,540 We know that we're going to continue to hear concerns in 1038 00:59:57,580 --> 01:00:00,980 this area, want to take that time to put this as a part of 1039 01:00:00,980 --> 01:00:03,120 the speed study to see if there's additional improvements 1040 01:00:03,120 --> 01:00:04,180 that can be made. 1041 01:00:04,180 --> 01:00:08,560 Also understand that as 35 changes in that area and some of 1042 01:00:08,560 --> 01:00:12,100 those intersection connections change in that area, 1043 01:00:12,100 --> 01:00:15,900 it'll also change some of those exit and on ramps. 1044 01:00:15,900 --> 01:00:19,000 Same, you know, same thing happens as you're trying to 1045 01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:22,440 leave Dallas Drive to enter 35 in that left lane configuration. 1046 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:25,600 I know we also get concerns about that too so just wanted to 1047 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:27,920 bring that forward. 1048 01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,120 Talk about the next item. 1049 01:00:30,120 --> 01:00:33,420 The next item we discussed on our last meeting was the 1050 01:00:33,420 --> 01:00:37,320 intersection of Parkway Street and then Locust and Elm. 1051 01:00:37,320 --> 01:00:42,660 I know we mentioned that of course James in the back. 1052 01:00:42,660 --> 01:00:45,260 James is up there, yes he is, there he is. 1053 01:00:45,260 --> 01:00:48,100 So James and his staff, I think I mentioned this to you last 1054 01:00:48,100 --> 01:00:50,460 time, I mean literally on a Thursday night we're out there 1055 01:00:50,460 --> 01:00:54,100 working to get speed, I mean sorry, stop signs deployed. 1056 01:00:54,140 --> 01:01:00,140 Obviously as you're traveling southbound on Elm they now have 1057 01:01:00,140 --> 01:01:02,780 that red flashing light that notifies you of the stop sign 1058 01:01:02,780 --> 01:01:06,380 in that area and Nathan along with James, 1059 01:01:06,380 --> 01:01:09,420 those groups have worked together really to talk about 1060 01:01:09,420 --> 01:01:10,560 what our next steps are. 1061 01:01:10,560 --> 01:01:13,300 Staff has determined that a roadway diet in this area would 1062 01:01:13,300 --> 01:01:17,820 be feasible so we're going to be looking at taking Parkway to one 1063 01:01:17,820 --> 01:01:21,200 lane in each direction with some bike lane that will really take 1064 01:01:21,240 --> 01:01:25,040 us all the way around to the park to Schmitz I believe is the 1065 01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:29,540 name of that roadway so really helping with that repurposing of 1066 01:01:29,540 --> 01:01:33,580 that roadway which will also slow down some of the traffic in 1067 01:01:33,580 --> 01:01:36,740 that area so just wanted to bring that up. 1068 01:01:36,740 --> 01:01:40,180 These will be intersection enhancements and really pavement 1069 01:01:40,180 --> 01:01:45,520 markings and signage so no roadway changes per se besides 1070 01:01:45,520 --> 01:01:49,960 those frivolous extra things like the markings and the signs 1071 01:01:50,000 --> 01:01:53,400 so I wanted to bring that up to you. 1072 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:54,560 >> Excuse me Becky. 1073 01:01:54,560 --> 01:01:55,640 >> Yes sir. 1074 01:01:55,640 --> 01:02:01,380 >> Do you happen to know what is the crash history when it was 1075 01:02:01,380 --> 01:02:06,340 signalized and then at the various sort of treatments that 1076 01:02:06,340 --> 01:02:10,780 it's had since at those intersections? 1077 01:02:10,780 --> 01:02:12,680 >> I do not have that data. 1078 01:02:12,680 --> 01:02:15,480 I can obviously collect that data. 1079 01:02:15,480 --> 01:02:19,480 When I became aware of the situation of course the signals 1080 01:02:19,520 --> 01:02:24,120 were already removed and it was non-signalized and it was just 1081 01:02:24,120 --> 01:02:27,360 that stop obviously at Parkway as Almond Locust had that full 1082 01:02:27,360 --> 01:02:32,800 through traffic pattern but with those additional stop signs 1083 01:02:32,800 --> 01:02:35,680 you know obviously we're still seeing some crashes but I can 1084 01:02:35,680 --> 01:02:42,340 collect that data based on what recollection and what's in the 1085 01:02:42,340 --> 01:02:46,020 system from the police department without an issue. 1086 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:49,980 >> Yeah, if it's not too difficult I think it would be 1087 01:02:49,980 --> 01:02:53,180 just good to know what we're aiming for and whether what 1088 01:02:53,180 --> 01:02:56,060 we're doing is being effective or not. 1089 01:02:56,060 --> 01:02:58,520 >> Sure and I would just mention and I know I mentioned this 1090 01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:02,300 again last night you know folks have to get used to the new 1091 01:03:02,300 --> 01:03:05,340 patterns that's the reason for the flash on the stop sign you 1092 01:03:05,340 --> 01:03:09,900 know many folks travel that area every single day and it may 1093 01:03:09,900 --> 01:03:13,340 take them some time to make that muscle memory of that 1094 01:03:13,380 --> 01:03:17,140 intersection in that area so keep in mind that we have seen 1095 01:03:17,140 --> 01:03:21,880 some crashes just as we traverse between the transfer of no stop 1096 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:25,260 signs as an all-way stop from just a two-way stop so you know 1097 01:03:25,260 --> 01:03:29,360 we will see some of those types of crashes but we'll work with 1098 01:03:29,360 --> 01:03:32,100 PD to collect that actual data. 1099 01:03:32,100 --> 01:03:35,840 I will have to go back and have that data performed just to see 1100 01:03:35,840 --> 01:03:38,940 when the signal was there and what happened, why it was 1101 01:03:38,940 --> 01:03:42,100 removed and then work through that process but we can bring 1102 01:03:42,140 --> 01:03:45,080 that back as an update at next month with that additional 1103 01:03:45,080 --> 01:03:46,600 information for you. 1104 01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:49,280 >> I think that'd be great you know and so my expectation would 1105 01:03:49,280 --> 01:03:54,020 be you know shortly after you make any change there are 1106 01:03:54,020 --> 01:03:57,960 incidents and then they should go away right. 1107 01:03:57,960 --> 01:04:00,320 >> Yes, sir that would be our hope. 1108 01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:03,360 >> Yeah okay that'd be interesting to see thank you. 1109 01:04:03,360 --> 01:04:06,500 >> No problem sir so the next item that was mentioned at the 1110 01:04:06,500 --> 01:04:09,100 last meeting just to follow up was the read at the Roodell 1111 01:04:09,140 --> 01:04:12,760 Street widening concerns obviously in the Friday report 1112 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:15,840 on January 14 there was really an update of that didn't basic 1113 01:04:15,840 --> 01:04:18,600 services center proposal. 1114 01:04:18,600 --> 01:04:22,720 I wanted to just highlight that one of the focus areas was the 1115 01:04:22,720 --> 01:04:26,480 Fulton property which was located on Roodell Street and 1116 01:04:26,480 --> 01:04:29,180 that obviously we're still in preliminary plans of Roodell 1117 01:04:29,180 --> 01:04:33,480 Street extension and we're working through that 30% design 1118 01:04:33,480 --> 01:04:35,900 which is completed in that area but working through that final 1119 01:04:35,920 --> 01:04:39,660 funding before we would move forward with that project really 1120 01:04:39,660 --> 01:04:42,440 just that that's on hold at this time as we work through those 1121 01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:45,200 next steps I know there were questions about that particular 1122 01:04:45,200 --> 01:04:49,280 area and how Roodell and Mingo intersection would traverse 1123 01:04:49,280 --> 01:04:52,200 through that piece of property so just wanted to refer you back 1124 01:04:52,200 --> 01:04:54,380 to that Friday report. 1125 01:04:54,380 --> 01:05:01,580 >> Well if any the question you know that I was present for me 1126 01:05:01,580 --> 01:05:05,360 was to have a reconcile really just to get a shared point of 1127 01:05:05,380 --> 01:05:12,720 view from staff between your department and development on 1128 01:05:12,720 --> 01:05:16,160 whether that project is critically needed or not and 1129 01:05:16,160 --> 01:05:23,000 I was hearing from Jane who was referenced here that supposedly 1130 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:28,080 Ron Mangida has said oh yeah that's not a problem at all so 1131 01:05:28,080 --> 01:05:31,020 you know a very different point of view so what I'm really 1132 01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:36,880 looking for was the consensus staff you on the on how 1133 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:40,320 compelling the need is for the widening project. 1134 01:05:40,320 --> 01:05:43,760 >> Yes, sir and I have gone back and discuss with development 1135 01:05:43,760 --> 01:05:45,320 services and planning department. 1136 01:05:45,320 --> 01:05:47,460 I'm not sure that the information you received is 1137 01:05:47,460 --> 01:05:51,860 actually the information that was conveyed and it is a planned 1138 01:05:51,860 --> 01:05:56,200 capital project that's a part of the overall a CIP and it's a 1139 01:05:56,200 --> 01:06:00,340 bond project that was put through with the bond program 1140 01:06:00,380 --> 01:06:04,980 in 2014 and it is anticipated that definitely that's an area 1141 01:06:04,980 --> 01:06:07,980 in an intersection that needs to be improved at Rue Dell and 1142 01:06:07,980 --> 01:06:11,420 Mingo and then connect back into the existing roadway 1143 01:06:11,420 --> 01:06:14,120 infrastructure and that is the location that was currently 1144 01:06:14,120 --> 01:06:19,220 selected of course if you know council just makes a decision 1145 01:06:19,220 --> 01:06:22,660 that they no longer believe that that's the the right approach 1146 01:06:22,660 --> 01:06:25,900 and of course staff will take that information back and 1147 01:06:25,900 --> 01:06:30,100 receive that determination but I do not believe that the way 1148 01:06:30,140 --> 01:06:33,400 that that information was conveyed to you was the actual 1149 01:06:33,400 --> 01:06:36,880 correct way that it was conveyed and it is shown on our mobility 1150 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:41,180 plan and it is a approved project to the 29 or 2014 bond 1151 01:06:41,180 --> 01:06:42,520 program. 1152 01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:45,980 >> So at some point will there be a discussion of council 1153 01:06:45,980 --> 01:06:50,560 about the original rationale why it was on the plan and what 1154 01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:54,360 alternatives would be if we didn't do that or you know I 1155 01:06:54,400 --> 01:07:00,900 just there's always conflicting needs and we have to weigh how 1156 01:07:00,900 --> 01:07:05,600 compelling each is right so. 1157 01:07:05,600 --> 01:07:08,380 >> Sure, yes, sir, I would anticipate that that type of 1158 01:07:08,380 --> 01:07:10,840

So yes, ma'am okay. 1320 01:17:03,420 --> 01:17:08,480 >> Also I know for sure that a sign needs to be replaced or 1321 01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:12,520 cleansed. When you make when you're coming up on Dallas 1322 01:17:12,520 --> 01:17:15,720 Drive and you're going north on Dallas Drive. You make that 1323 01:17:15,760 --> 01:17:21,360 left turn into Duncan Street and then there's a sign on the 1324 01:17:21,360 --> 01:17:26,240 side of the road that says Duncan Street and then it says 1325 01:17:26,240 --> 01:17:33,200 Shady Oaks, Shady Oaks. No way down. And then there's a sign 1326 01:17:33,200 --> 01:17:36,640 that says Duncan Street right there for you know visitors to 1327 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:40,040 make that left turn into Duncan Street. It's just corroded. 1328 01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:43,180 I don't know. You can't see it. And so maybe that might be 1329 01:17:43,220 --> 01:17:47,080 when appears to be fairly small where maybe our drivers could 1330 01:17:47,080 --> 01:17:50,420 actually look to see where Duncan Street is. It might be 1331 01:17:50,420 --> 01:17:51,500 very helpful. 1332 01:17:51,500 --> 01:17:54,860 >> Sure, James is here today. I know he's listening. So 1333 01:17:54,860 --> 01:17:57,560 definitely will will look into that item. That's not a problem. 1334 01:17:57,560 --> 01:18:00,360 >> All right. Thank you. That's the only thing I have. 1335 01:18:00,360 --> 01:18:05,640 >> Mayor, kind of a follow on you know, Councilmember Byrd has 1336 01:18:05,640 --> 01:18:09,080 asked over the months, you know, but different specific 1337 01:18:09,100 --> 01:18:13,240 streets in Southeast Deton. But then we have this 2 minute 1338 01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:18,760 pitch from the mayor about how do we look at Southeast Deton 1339 01:18:18,760 --> 01:18:25,000 speed. And I just that got approved and I'm just curious 1340 01:18:25,000 --> 01:18:28,460 to know what does that entail then? Is that something 1341 01:18:28,460 --> 01:18:33,060 different? I mean, is that different from the citywide 1342 01:18:33,060 --> 01:18:37,840 speed study? What would the next steps be on that? 1343 01:18:37,880 --> 01:18:39,900 >> Sure, we're currently working through that process 1344 01:18:39,900 --> 01:18:43,980 with the public works team streets operations, Daniel 1345 01:18:43,980 --> 01:18:47,880 Kramer and Ethan Cox, general manager, really coordinating 1346 01:18:47,880 --> 01:18:51,060 that effort. We also want to make mention of those roadways 1347 01:18:51,060 --> 01:18:54,520 that are going to be a part of the citywide speed study. So 1348 01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:57,220 that we have that recollection and knowledge to share with 1349 01:18:57,220 --> 01:19:00,120 y'all of the information that we're going to be collecting in 1350 01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:04,140 that area. But that is something that's being worked on 1351 01:19:04,140 --> 01:19:06,700 through that process. So it's something we will have to bring 1352 01:19:06,740 --> 01:19:10,400 back to you when we're ready. We're not quite ready yet with 1353 01:19:10,400 --> 01:19:13,140 that level of detail and level of information. We could 1354 01:19:13,140 --> 01:19:15,680 possibly be ready for the next mobility committee meeting. And 1355 01:19:15,680 --> 01:19:19,880 if so, we'll bring that forward as an individual item. If not, 1356 01:19:19,880 --> 01:19:22,680 it would be at one of the following meetings after that 1357 01:19:22,680 --> 01:19:24,060 timeframe. 1358 01:19:24,060 --> 01:19:26,780 >> Okay, great. Just so we get, you know, whatever degree of 1359 01:19:26,780 --> 01:19:30,960 update you're prepared to give, you know, when we get together. 1360 01:19:30,960 --> 01:19:33,300 >> Yes, sir. 1361 01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,340 >> That's all I've got. So unless there's anything else, 1362 01:19:37,340 --> 01:19:41,000 last call. We'll go to concluding items. You could 1363 01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:44,240 make whatever your last thing is that you just thought of a 1364 01:19:44,240 --> 01:19:46,780 concluding item. Anyone? 1365 01:19:46,780 --> 01:19:49,880 >> Nothing. 1366 01:19:49,880 --> 01:19:52,880 >> All right. Thank you, everyone. And Billy, thank you 1367 01:19:52,880 --> 01:19:56,580 very much for accommodating me being remote. 1368 01:19:56,580 --> 01:19:58,880 >> Absolutely, sir. Have a nice day. 1369 01:19:58,880 --> 01:19:59,720 >> Have a good week. 1370 01:19:59,720 --> 01:20:01,160 >> Bye-bye.
