WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.800
 >> Okay. All right.

00:00:03.800 --> 00:00:08.700
 Well, this meeting of the Mobility Committee Wednesday,

00:00:08.700 --> 00:00:20.100
 October the 26th, 2022, 10 a.m. Our first item is

00:00:20.100 --> 00:00:25.600
 to have any individual consideration items

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:27.700
 on the agendas that individuals are able

00:00:27.700 --> 00:00:30.200
 to comment one time per agenda.

00:00:30.200 --> 00:00:31.700
 Each speaker is going to give a total

00:00:31.700 --> 00:00:34.200
 of three minutes per agenda item.

00:00:34.200 --> 00:00:36.700
 A requested speak card must be completed and returned

00:00:36.700 --> 00:00:41.800
 to the staff liaison before the committee considers the items.

00:00:41.800 --> 00:00:47.900
 Items for individual consideration, MC-22-029,

00:00:47.900 --> 00:00:54.300
 consider the approval of the minutes of September 28, 2022.

00:00:54.300 --> 00:00:56.000
 >> I move approval of the minutes.

00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:08.400
 >> Okay. MC-22-030, receive a report and hold a discussion

00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:12.100
 regarding the City of Denny's Transportation Mobility Project

00:01:12.100 --> 00:01:15.000
 Status Report.

00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:16.600
 Good morning, sir.

00:01:16.600 --> 00:01:29.100
 [ Inaudible ]

00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:31.900
 >> John Bolster, Innovative Transportation Solutions.

00:01:31.900 --> 00:01:37.700
 I'm here to give you an update on your transportation report.

00:01:37.700 --> 00:01:44.400
 So we'll start off with some good news.

00:01:44.400 --> 00:01:48.000
 As you may have noticed if you drive

00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:50.600
 around the southern part of the town,

00:01:50.600 --> 00:01:56.700
 2181 essentially was open to its final configuration back

00:01:56.700 --> 00:02:01.300
 on October 17th, so road is essentially open

00:02:01.300 --> 00:02:07.700
 and we're now doing punch list items, sod, painting,

00:02:07.700 --> 00:02:15.300
 some of the storm water prevention barricades.

00:02:15.300 --> 00:02:17.700
 They're up for construction, so it's essentially open

00:02:17.700 --> 00:02:22.400
 to traffic after nine years of trauma.

00:02:22.400 --> 00:02:25.700
 So that's good news there.

00:02:25.700 --> 00:02:27.700
 >> It's wonderful news.

00:02:27.700 --> 00:02:35.100
 >> Mayhill, at 35, the project is slowly creeping

00:02:35.100 --> 00:02:40.000
 up in cost, we're at 95 million bucks for that interchange

00:02:40.000 --> 00:02:43.900
 and fringe roads all the way to the new look.

00:02:43.900 --> 00:02:48.700
 The funding was included in its previous August approval

00:02:48.700 --> 00:02:51.900
 of the United Unified Transportation Plan

00:02:51.900 --> 00:02:58.500
 and we are still ready to let in 2023 assuming all

00:02:58.500 --> 00:03:02.900
 of these utilities that are listed here will meet their

00:03:02.900 --> 00:03:04.900
 deadlines or so.

00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:09.400
 Being told by tech site we won't be making these dates,

00:03:09.400 --> 00:03:12.400
 so we should be letting this project go

00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.700
 to construction in December of, it says June of 25,

00:03:17.700 --> 00:03:21.600
 but since we got the money in August,

00:03:21.600 --> 00:03:24.300
 it'll be the 23 timeframe.

00:03:24.300 --> 00:03:31.700
 You'll note that a lot of these numbers are highlighted,

00:03:31.700 --> 00:03:35.700
 the reason for that is because of two reasons.

00:03:35.700 --> 00:03:39.900
 One is we were needing to get additional funding previously

00:03:39.900 --> 00:03:43.300
 to the last six months and the other reason is

00:03:43.300 --> 00:03:48.100
 that in the past six months a lot of the costs have gone up.

00:03:48.100 --> 00:03:55.900
 So the I-35E merge project is at $431 million, it's a change

00:03:55.900 --> 00:03:58.300
 and we have those funds and again

00:03:58.300 --> 00:04:03.900
 that project will be letting September of next year.

00:04:03.900 --> 00:04:07.600
 Assuming all these utilities get relocated,

00:04:07.600 --> 00:04:12.500
 but again we're fairly confident that that will happen.

00:04:12.500 --> 00:04:18.800
 And then your I-35 North project, it's got been broken into,

00:04:18.800 --> 00:04:23.100
 it's essentially only three projects.

00:04:23.100 --> 00:04:28.100
 The blue project is the interchange associated

00:04:28.100 --> 00:04:34.900
 with the 455 project and it's going to be built with SN455.

00:04:34.900 --> 00:04:40.200
 Again, it's $792 million is what we have available

00:04:40.200 --> 00:04:45.300
 and right now it's at $749, so we didn't have to change the

00:04:45.300 --> 00:04:48.300
 dollars on it because we had enough money in the project.

00:04:48.300 --> 00:04:57.300
 35W Furnace Roads, this one six months ago we thought it was

00:04:57.300 --> 00:05:01.100
 $180 million, we asked for $188 million and got that approved

00:05:01.100 --> 00:05:08.500
 in the August UTP, they did a new cost estimate

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:12.700
 and their current estimate now is $321 million,

00:05:12.700 --> 00:05:17.600
 so somebody's going to have to pay the cost off for that one.

00:05:17.600 --> 00:05:24.100
 But again, we are, it has an actual let date of September 24,

00:05:24.100 --> 00:05:26.300
 so between now and then we'll figure out how

00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:30.500
 to cover a doubling across this project.

00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:36.900
 And this is from 407 North to essentially 2449,

00:05:36.900 --> 00:05:41.800
 where the Luke 28 will come in in the future.

00:05:41.800 --> 00:05:45.500
 And we're also working on picking up somebody

00:05:45.500 --> 00:05:49.800
 to do the Furnace Roads on the southern part of this project

00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:54.600
 in the next UTP update.

00:05:54.600 --> 00:06:01.000
 Okay, 377 and 380 project across the lake.

00:06:01.000 --> 00:06:04.900
 We are anticipating this project being completed

00:06:04.900 --> 00:06:06.400
 in December of next year.

00:06:06.400 --> 00:06:15.900
 There are various phases, we've just switched to our second phase

00:06:15.900 --> 00:06:23.600
 all year this month and so far we seem to be on track.

00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.300
 I haven't heard any problems with anything going on out there

00:06:26.300 --> 00:06:32.500
 and I'm assuming if there were problems we'd all hear about it.

00:06:32.500 --> 00:06:34.800
 U288 West Furnace Road project.

00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.200
 The chain to tail is in full on design.

00:06:38.200 --> 00:06:42.100
 It's part of what we're doing is working with the city

00:06:42.100 --> 00:06:46.200
 on some thoroughfare plan modifications

00:06:46.200 --> 00:06:50.600
 to make sure the Luke 28 is accommodating the needs

00:06:50.600 --> 00:06:54.400
 of those future roads when this project --

00:06:54.400 --> 00:06:56.800
 because when they initially designed this project,

00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:59.900
 they used an old thoroughfare plan.

00:06:59.900 --> 00:07:03.700
 So modifying the southern part of the project

00:07:03.700 --> 00:07:09.000
 to make sure it accommodates the city's current thoroughfare plan.

00:07:09.000 --> 00:07:17.700
 Again, it's not cheap as far as the Furnace Roads cost,

00:07:17.700 --> 00:07:23.500
 but we're confident by the time we get to the ready to let date

00:07:23.500 --> 00:07:25.800
 of April 26th that we'll have the money.

00:07:25.800 --> 00:07:30.400
 And remember, the reason why this takes so long from design

00:07:30.400 --> 00:07:35.400
 to ready to let is because of all the utilities out there,

00:07:35.400 --> 00:07:38.800
 the gas wells, the transmission lines.

00:07:38.800 --> 00:07:42.000
 There's a significant number of relocations just

00:07:42.000 --> 00:07:45.600
 with the gas wells along this corridor.

00:07:45.600 --> 00:07:51.100
 And then your 28080 Furnace Road project.

00:07:51.100 --> 00:07:55.200
 We've got ChicoCope working on that.

00:07:55.200 --> 00:08:00.400
 We met with the city earlier this month to get a handle

00:08:00.400 --> 00:08:04.200
 on the incredible number of developments that are going

00:08:04.200 --> 00:08:08.800
 on in this corridor, trying to accommodate, mitigate,

00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:12.400
 and otherwise avoid where possible.

00:08:12.400 --> 00:08:15.600
 But the whole reason we're doing it is because of the development

00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:16.900
 that wants to be in this corridor.

00:08:16.900 --> 00:08:21.200
 So that's our critical path item right now is to get a handle

00:08:21.200 --> 00:08:26.200
 on where the developments are and what can be done in the interim

00:08:26.200 --> 00:08:29.900
 to make sure that they are aware of what we're doing

00:08:29.900 --> 00:08:34.000
 and we're aware of what they're doing.

00:08:34.000 --> 00:08:40.800
 And so what we may end up doing is if we have some areas

00:08:40.800 --> 00:08:45.200
 where the project is in conflict with the development

00:08:45.200 --> 00:08:50.700
 and we can't mediate the issue, if the bottom program passes,

00:08:50.700 --> 00:08:56.600
 we may end up doing some preemptive land banking

00:08:56.600 --> 00:09:01.600
 on this corridor because we can't lose the corridor.

00:09:01.600 --> 00:09:03.600
 Bonnie Bray, segment seven.

00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:06.400
 We're including this and this project.

00:09:06.400 --> 00:09:09.500
 So over here on the far west side of the project

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:13.900
 for the loop 288 we're including the Bonnie Bray segment seven

00:09:13.900 --> 00:09:17.300
 into the 288 project because it also ties into the frontage road.

00:09:17.300 --> 00:09:20.600
 So again, it's Pacheco Coke who's doing that as part

00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:27.900
 of the 288 design and clearing that part

00:09:27.900 --> 00:09:31.500
 because that part's not clear right now.

00:09:31.500 --> 00:09:34.100
 1515, nothing really has changed here.

00:09:34.100 --> 00:09:40.200
 We're just continuing to work on finalizing the design.

00:09:40.200 --> 00:09:46.300
 And again, we are looking at a ready to let of October 2024

00:09:46.300 --> 00:09:53.500
 and we still need the $38 million but we're confident we'll get it.

00:09:53.500 --> 00:09:58.400
 1173, so we were going pretty quick and fast on this one

00:09:58.400 --> 00:10:01.900
 to add it to the 35 job but I just got called

00:10:01.900 --> 00:10:07.300
 from the engineer saying that the city

00:10:07.300 --> 00:10:11.800
 of Chrome has got some issues with the western part of it.

00:10:11.800 --> 00:10:15.500
 So we're going to go see if we can't meet with them and figure

00:10:15.500 --> 00:10:19.000
 out what their concerns are if there was an administration change

00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:22.800
 from the old mayor to the new mayor, opinions have changed.

00:10:22.800 --> 00:10:26.000
 So we may not hit our mark

00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:30.000
 for having the project what they call plans adequate which is

00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:32.300
 when the design gets far enough along

00:10:32.300 --> 00:10:34.300
 where the utilities can use those plans

00:10:34.300 --> 00:10:36.900
 to determine whether or not they're in conflict

00:10:36.900 --> 00:10:38.600
 so they can start moving.

00:10:38.600 --> 00:10:41.000
 We were thinking we'd get that in December or January.

00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.600
 We may end up not having that ability.

00:10:45.600 --> 00:10:47.800
 It won't happen some other time.

00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:55.400
 Outer Lube, this one is LJA is doing the work.

00:10:55.400 --> 00:10:59.000
 What we're looking at is on the eastern portion.

00:10:59.000 --> 00:11:04.700
 There isn't a logical term and I where Cohen kind of left off

00:11:04.700 --> 00:11:07.300
 because they didn't environmentally clear it

00:11:07.300 --> 00:11:10.100
 so they just simply built the road in a pasture

00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:12.800
 for lack of a better word for future development.

00:11:12.800 --> 00:11:17.000
 So we're working with Tech Stock to identify the logical term

00:11:17.000 --> 00:11:19.000
 and I and once we get that done then we'll start

00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:23.200
 into the hard part of the environmental clearance.

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.800
 Alma Locus, I'll leave this to Becky to talk about

00:11:26.800 --> 00:11:29.100
 but we did get the information from Tech Stock

00:11:29.100 --> 00:11:37.100
 and I think the city is reviewing those plans.

00:11:37.100 --> 00:11:39.100
 We are meeting internally next week to go

00:11:39.100 --> 00:11:42.300
 through the pavement section that's been submitted

00:11:42.300 --> 00:11:45.200
 and then I spoke with Travis actually last night

00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:48.600
 and we're going to work till meet and go through all

00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:50.700
 of our comments later part of next week.

00:11:50.700 --> 00:11:54.600
 So working through those logistics of the pavement section

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:56.600
 that was submitted, the design that was submitted,

00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:58.200
 just making sure we're all on the same page

00:11:58.200 --> 00:11:59.100
 so we can move forward.

00:11:59.100 --> 00:12:02.800
 So we know what we're doing as far as the limits

00:12:02.800 --> 00:12:05.400
 and we know what we're going to do as far as the improvements.

00:12:05.400 --> 00:12:07.700
 What we don't know is the pavement depth

00:12:07.700 --> 00:12:14.500
 and the effects consistent with what the city desires.

00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:16.900
 And then all the resurfacing in the city

00:12:16.900 --> 00:12:20.300
 of Denton proper has been completed and we are now

00:12:20.300 --> 00:12:21.800
 into the striping phase.

00:12:21.800 --> 00:12:25.900
 You'll see where there's where they're striping some

00:12:25.900 --> 00:12:27.700
 of the sections in the north.

00:12:27.700 --> 00:12:31.800
 It was kind of scary yesterday when I was coming back in town,

00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:33.800
 but we should be done by the end of the month

00:12:33.800 --> 00:12:40.300
 on all the striping on 35 resurfacing project in Denton.

00:12:40.300 --> 00:12:44.200
 I think that is it for me.

00:12:44.200 --> 00:12:49.100
 Don't forget to go vote for roads.

00:12:49.100 --> 00:12:51.600
 I'm not going to tell you how to vote.

00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:57.900
 It's just going to take a vote for roads and that's it for me.

00:12:57.900 --> 00:13:00.100
 Any questions?

00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:04.900
 >> Yes, I have a question in regards to the --

00:13:04.900 --> 00:13:06.700
 back to the loop.

00:13:06.700 --> 00:13:07.300
 >> The outlook?

00:13:07.300 --> 00:13:08.400
 >> The outlook.

00:13:08.400 --> 00:13:10.000
 >> Loop 288.

00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:10.700
 >> Okay.

00:13:10.700 --> 00:13:13.000
 >> The front edge road.

00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:14.500
 Right there.

00:13:14.500 --> 00:13:15.800
 >> Okay.

00:13:15.800 --> 00:13:17.400
 >> So I see that it's highlighted.

00:13:17.400 --> 00:13:19.800
 I see a highlight green.

00:13:19.800 --> 00:13:21.200
 >> This right here?

00:13:21.200 --> 00:13:22.800
 >> Yeah, and then it cuts through.

00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:25.300
 >> Yeah. So what -- okay.

00:13:25.300 --> 00:13:27.500
 I'll wait until you ask.

00:13:27.500 --> 00:13:29.100
 >> Go ahead.

00:13:29.100 --> 00:13:37.300
 >> So what we're attempting to do is to tie 380 to 35

00:13:37.300 --> 00:13:40.800
 because we're going to have direct connects at 35 here

00:13:40.800 --> 00:13:44.400
 on the loop and the intent is once this part

00:13:44.400 --> 00:13:49.000
 of the loop is basically a freeway with the front edge roads,

00:13:49.000 --> 00:13:52.300
 we want to make the traffic travel up and around the loop

00:13:52.300 --> 00:13:56.600
 to go -- it's just cutting through to go up on 288

00:13:56.600 --> 00:13:58.400
 and so then you can come in,

00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:01.800
 especially when you get the western part done, you can come

00:14:01.800 --> 00:14:06.700
 in and restrict truck traffic that's just going

00:14:06.700 --> 00:14:09.000
 through your community off of 380.

00:14:09.000 --> 00:14:10.700
 And so in order to make that movement,

00:14:10.700 --> 00:14:16.800
 we need to have a more direct movement from 382, 288,

00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:19.200
 and let me say that that is not the scale.

00:14:19.200 --> 00:14:23.500
 It won't be -- it's actually a lot tighter in,

00:14:23.500 --> 00:14:27.400
 but the intent is to have a direct movement.

00:14:27.400 --> 00:14:30.600
 And then if you want to go into town, you'll have to stop

00:14:30.600 --> 00:14:33.400
 and get off of the box and go through the signal.

00:14:33.400 --> 00:14:36.600
 So the intent is to make it go straight

00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:40.000
 over to 35 as fluidly as possible.

00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:55.200
 >> I-35 between the Oak and 380, as we know,

00:14:55.200 --> 00:15:02.000
 with the changes that were made, with the exit being so close

00:15:02.000 --> 00:15:07.300
 and you all pulled the exit back, it's just no --

00:15:07.300 --> 00:15:08.600
 it's no reasoning.

00:15:08.600 --> 00:15:11.000
 I mean, it just doesn't seem like there's anything else

00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.900
 that could be done because I got hung up in there one time.

00:15:13.900 --> 00:15:15.900
 >> Yeah, I get hung up there all the time.

00:15:15.900 --> 00:15:16.800
 >> And it's just --

00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:17.400
 >> Say it to one.

00:15:17.400 --> 00:15:21.000
 >> And it's so -- for me, it's so --

00:15:21.000 --> 00:15:26.400
 it's very scary to see all of those impatient people just pull

00:15:26.400 --> 00:15:28.800
 out in front of cars that are still traveling.

00:15:28.800 --> 00:15:35.000
 >> So the solution is that everything we just built there

00:15:35.000 --> 00:15:41.000
 is going to be torn out when the merge project goes

00:15:41.000 --> 00:15:43.800
 and there'll be a braided ramp there.

00:15:43.800 --> 00:15:47.200
 And so what a braided ramp is is what you need is people getting

00:15:47.200 --> 00:15:50.100
 on and getting off between Oak and 380.

00:15:50.100 --> 00:15:51.800
 That's why all those people are there.

00:15:51.800 --> 00:15:52.500
 >> They're there.

00:15:52.500 --> 00:15:53.000
 >> They're there.

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.600
 And so what we're going to do is your exit ramp will be

00:15:56.600 --> 00:15:59.600
 in the same location as your entrance ramp and it will go

00:15:59.600 --> 00:16:01.600
 up and over and get on a freeway.

00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:07.000
 So you'll separate the movements and that supposedly will solve

00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.300
 the problem because what's happening is everybody wants

00:16:10.300 --> 00:16:12.500
 to get on and off to the same location.

00:16:12.500 --> 00:16:14.900
 And just to put it in perspective, if you've gone

00:16:14.900 --> 00:16:18.400
 down south towards like North Fort Worth

00:16:18.400 --> 00:16:22.200
 where Western Center Boulevard is, those are braided ramps.

00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:22.800
 >> Okay.

00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:25.000
 >> So those big bridges where everybody's getting

00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:26.200
 on and off at the same time,

00:16:26.200 --> 00:16:30.400
 that's what will be there on 35.

00:16:30.400 --> 00:16:33.200
 So that should solve the problem.

00:16:33.200 --> 00:16:37.300
 >> So when I am -- I'm almost trying to explain

00:16:37.300 --> 00:16:39.000
 to my husband what's going on.

00:16:39.000 --> 00:16:39.800
 I was going to do this.

00:16:39.800 --> 00:16:41.200
 I got to do this.

00:16:41.200 --> 00:16:45.800
 That Mayhill and that 35.

00:16:45.800 --> 00:16:49.600
 And I notice that the Exxon looks like it's on its way out

00:16:49.600 --> 00:16:50.600
 or it's finally --

00:16:50.600 --> 00:16:54.400
 >> Yes, ma'am.

00:16:54.400 --> 00:16:56.400
 >> Explain to me what that's going to kind of look like.

00:16:56.400 --> 00:17:00.200
 >> So you see what Luke 288 at Golden Triangle Mall

00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:03.400
 on 35 looks like, the big interchange?

00:17:03.400 --> 00:17:05.100
 That's only 10 lanes.

00:17:05.100 --> 00:17:07.500
 What we're going to do at Mayhill is the same thing.

00:17:07.500 --> 00:17:09.800
 Only it will be 12 lanes that go under the freeway.

00:17:09.800 --> 00:17:12.900
 So it will be a significant larger footprint

00:17:12.900 --> 00:17:16.700
 because you have six lanes coming to Mayhill

00:17:16.700 --> 00:17:19.000
 and six lanes coming up from 2499.

00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:24.600
 So it will be a large structure with three lanes in dual Fs

00:17:24.600 --> 00:17:28.300
 and then a U-turn in both directions.

00:17:28.300 --> 00:17:35.900
 And so that 2499 Mayhill, it's going to run from 35

00:17:35.900 --> 00:17:39.400
 over to Woodrow like that.

00:17:39.400 --> 00:17:41.400
 All of that is being cleaned up.

00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.600
 >> So we've got three projects going on.

00:17:44.600 --> 00:17:50.200
 North of 35 at Mayhill, we are realigning Mayhill

00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:54.800
 through that track to tie it in and go straight up Mayhill,

00:17:54.800 --> 00:17:59.900
 take out that bend at Colorado and Edwards and get rid

00:17:59.900 --> 00:18:02.400
 of that great crossing of the railroad.

00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:10.900
 And then 35 interchange itself

00:18:10.900 --> 00:18:15.200
 with Mayhill will be the 12 lanes and then 2499

00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:17.000
 to the south is our six lanes.

00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:29.300
 >> Okay, so between Mayhill and Woodrow, Colorado and 35,

00:18:29.300 --> 00:18:33.400
 all of that is going to be a part of this project?

00:18:33.400 --> 00:18:35.400
 >> So we're negotiating that.

00:18:35.400 --> 00:18:40.100
 Because what happened is the old environmental document did not go

00:18:40.100 --> 00:18:47.300
 all the way north to Colorado.

00:18:47.300 --> 00:18:50.600
 And so we've got the Cog City of Denton,

00:18:50.600 --> 00:18:55.200
 Denton County project that's going to redo Mayhill at Colorado.

00:18:55.200 --> 00:18:57.000
 And so we're just figuring out how

00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.000
 to just close the gap between the two.

00:18:59.000 --> 00:19:00.100
 We'll figure it out.

00:19:00.100 --> 00:19:02.800
 >> That's what I hadn't heard, you know, all that time.

00:19:02.800 --> 00:19:04.200
 So I know that that is a big deal.

00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:06.400
 >> Yeah, we're not going to do all that work and then have it

00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.400
 with us, you'd all call stupid because we didn't fix that.

00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:12.600
 800 feet of pavement.

00:19:12.600 --> 00:19:14.000
 We'll fix that.

00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:16.200
 We'll get it one way or the other.

00:19:16.200 --> 00:19:17.600
 >> I'm holding your hand.

00:19:17.600 --> 00:19:20.400
 >> Everybody does.

00:19:20.400 --> 00:19:20.800
 >> Thank you.

00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:23.200
 It goes on.

00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.200
 >> I'm good.

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:24.600
 >> Yeah.

00:19:24.600 --> 00:19:25.800
 >> All right.

00:19:25.800 --> 00:19:27.500
 Easy.

00:19:27.500 --> 00:19:28.500
 >> Thank you very much.

00:19:28.500 --> 00:19:28.800
 >> Yeah.

00:19:28.800 --> 00:19:30.200
 >> Thanks.

00:19:30.200 --> 00:19:31.900
 >> I didn't bring anything, so.

00:19:31.900 --> 00:19:32.600
 >> Thank you, John.

00:19:32.600 --> 00:19:35.700
 >> All right.

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:41.900
 NC22032 received a report holding discussion

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:45.600
 against that direction regarding Bonnie Gray Street

00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:47.800
 Project Update.

00:19:47.800 --> 00:19:57.600
 [ Inaudible ]

00:19:57.600 --> 00:19:58.100
 >> Morning.

00:19:58.100 --> 00:19:58.900
 I'm Kyle Pettico.

00:19:58.900 --> 00:20:01.400
 I'm a program manager with Capital Improvement.

00:20:01.400 --> 00:20:05.700
 And so today, I'm going to give an overall update

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:09.200
 on all the projects associated with the Bonnie Gray Corridor

00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:14.200
 and as well as go into staff's findings regarding a potential

00:20:14.200 --> 00:20:17.100
 roundabout at Windsor and Bonnie Gray,

00:20:17.100 --> 00:20:22.300
 associated with the phase six of this project.

00:20:22.300 --> 00:20:23.500
 So here's an overview.

00:20:23.500 --> 00:20:25.600
 The Gantt chart at the bottom,

00:20:25.600 --> 00:20:28.900
 the colors match the map at the right.

00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:33.500
 So starting at the bottom from Rose Lawn to 35 is phase three,

00:20:33.500 --> 00:20:34.300
 Bonnie Gray phase three.

00:20:34.300 --> 00:20:39.000
 That one is currently bidding and is set to close next week.

00:20:39.000 --> 00:20:41.300
 So pending council award, we're looking

00:20:41.300 --> 00:20:45.700
 at a late four-four start construction.

00:20:45.700 --> 00:20:50.800
 And that's approximately an 18-month project.

00:20:50.800 --> 00:20:52.700
 Phase four is in green.

00:20:52.700 --> 00:20:56.100
 That is between I-35 and scripture.

00:20:56.100 --> 00:21:01.000
 That one has funding associated with the 2022 county bond.

00:21:01.000 --> 00:21:05.900
 And the estimated schedule on that pending the approval

00:21:05.900 --> 00:21:11.000
 of the funding is construction start in the beginning of 2024.

00:21:11.000 --> 00:21:13.900
 Phase five is scripture to U.S. 380.

00:21:13.900 --> 00:21:16.500
 That's in pink.

00:21:16.500 --> 00:21:19.600
 That is the same as phase four type

00:21:19.600 --> 00:21:22.700
 of bond 2022 county bond funding

00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:26.900
 and estimated construction start is early 2025.

00:21:26.900 --> 00:21:29.900
 Phase six is the one that we're talking about today.

00:21:29.900 --> 00:21:33.200
 That is U.S. 380, U.S. 77.

00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:39.500
 This one is completed in the design phase and we're ready

00:21:39.500 --> 00:21:42.800
 to send it out to bid pending one final parcel

00:21:42.800 --> 00:21:46.300
 that we have to acquire.

00:21:46.300 --> 00:21:49.200
 It's the -- since there's federal funding,

00:21:49.200 --> 00:21:55.900
 we need to have all the parcels acquired before we commit the project.

00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:58.700
 So regarding a proposed roundabout at Wednesday.

00:21:58.700 --> 00:22:02.600
 So the current plan for phase six that's complete includes construction

00:22:02.600 --> 00:22:07.900
 of a standard signalized intersection with this project

00:22:07.900 --> 00:22:14.000
 that would -- traffic signals, crosswalks for a standard intersection.

00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:20.700
 So on August 16th, 2022 council member Davis requested information regarding the viability

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:23.600
 of replacing that planned signal with a roundabout.

00:22:23.600 --> 00:22:30.300
 There was previous communication with staff that was provided where staff would --

00:22:30.300 --> 00:22:34.600
 was committed to look into the viability

00:22:34.600 --> 00:22:37.600
 and research the viability of a roundabout at that intersection.

00:22:37.600 --> 00:22:43.000
 So that's what we're trying to accomplish here even though the project's designed

00:22:43.000 --> 00:22:45.000
 and ready to go.

00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:51.900
 So in this presentation we examine the impacts of this roundabout

00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:58.500
 on the project cost and schedule, any impacts to traffic and then any impacts

00:22:58.500 --> 00:23:02.400
 to pedestrian and pedestrian traffic.

00:23:02.400 --> 00:23:08.000
 Here's a quick cost breakdown.

00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:13.300
 So running through each of these, we'd have to redesign the pavement,

00:23:13.300 --> 00:23:16.800
 redesign the drainage due to the increased footprint.

00:23:16.800 --> 00:23:23.100
 We'd have to add in some temporary pavement to maintain access during construction.

00:23:23.100 --> 00:23:28.300
 We would emit the signal at Windsor which would result in a credit.

00:23:28.300 --> 00:23:35.000
 But then we'd have to perform an environmental reevaluation due to the federal

00:23:35.000 --> 00:23:39.700
 or the textile funding. We'd have to require additional right-of-way

00:23:39.700 --> 00:23:42.200
 which looks -- is approximately a 12-month process

00:23:42.200 --> 00:23:46.000
 if anything most driven domain.

00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:49.600
 We would have to accommodate the fire station at this location.

00:23:49.600 --> 00:23:57.000
 So the proximity of the roundabout to the fire station would require a preemption signal

00:23:57.000 --> 00:24:03.900
 and a bigger traffic study to go into how that would work getting the engines out of the garage

00:24:03.900 --> 00:24:08.200
 and getting such folks proximity to an un-signalized intersection.

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:11.800
 And then we would also have a large utility relocation cost.

00:24:11.800 --> 00:24:15.500
 We're looking at approximately a two-year delay on this.

00:24:15.500 --> 00:24:22.200
 And base estimate $1 million cost of relocating utilities.

00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:28.400
 We'd have to remove a minimum of three EME towers and relocate a 42-inch water line

00:24:28.400 --> 00:24:30.900
 that would now be under the footprint of the roundabout.

00:24:30.900 --> 00:24:36.000
 So overall we're looking at approximately a three-year delay and $2 million additional cost

00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:42.900
 if we were to add a roundabout at this stage of the project.

00:24:42.900 --> 00:24:45.300
 Here's a brief overview of the utility concerns.

00:24:45.300 --> 00:24:56.200
 So in this overview, this yellow line here is the DME of 138 kVA transmission line.

00:24:56.200 --> 00:25:06.600
 And that's a picture of what the tower transmission line looks like that would have to be relocated to the left there.

00:25:06.600 --> 00:25:13.700
 And that's also the blue line represents the location of the 42-inch water transmission line.

00:25:13.700 --> 00:25:22.800
 So the reason for the 24-month schedule impact on these is both of these have up to 12-month lead times

00:25:22.800 --> 00:25:28.900
 on materials for procurement plus they have very, very limited windows in which we can shut these down

00:25:28.900 --> 00:25:38.500
 to perform any type of relocation because they're both large-scale transmission lines of water and electricity.

00:25:38.500 --> 00:25:45.600
 Regarding funding concerns that we uncovered with this analysis.

00:25:45.600 --> 00:25:52.800
 So due to the inclusion of FHWA funds, this project cannot be sent out to bid

00:25:52.800 --> 00:25:58.300
 until all of our clearance letters for right-of-way utility clearance letters are received.

00:25:58.300 --> 00:26:08.100
 So with that long utility relocation window and the additional right-of-way acquisition,

00:26:08.100 --> 00:26:16.500
 we're looking at a potential, again, 36-month delay to the schedule of the project.

00:26:16.500 --> 00:26:20.700
 So we would also risk, put our federal funds at risk.

00:26:20.700 --> 00:26:27.400
 So right now, we have $11.8 million in federal funding through TxDOT.

00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:33.900
 And if there's a substantial delay due to a late-stage redesign and this reevaluation

00:26:33.900 --> 00:26:37.200
 that the process would have to go through, we would put that funding at risk.

00:26:37.200 --> 00:26:41.600
 So I included a Gantt chart at the bottom showing the different stages of Bonnie Bray.

00:26:41.600 --> 00:26:47.500
 Bonnie Bray 6 is the blue line, again, showing that we're ready to begin this project

00:26:47.500 --> 00:26:51.700
 with construction estimated early next year.

00:26:51.700 --> 00:26:56.100
 The bottom line is if we would add a roundabout and include that 36-month delay,

00:26:56.100 --> 00:27:03.300
 showing that we wouldn't start construction until approximately 2026.

00:27:03.300 --> 00:27:10.100
 So we also analyzed the pedestrian concerns in this area because that's been a bit of a hot topic,

00:27:10.100 --> 00:27:12.900
 especially with the new high school openings.

00:27:12.900 --> 00:27:20.300
 So on this map, I have the new DISD high school highlighted along

00:27:20.300 --> 00:27:23.700
 with the proposed DISD elementary school.

00:27:23.700 --> 00:27:28.300
 This elementary school is estimated to be open in August of 2024.

00:27:28.300 --> 00:27:35.500
 So we're working that phasing in with the current plan for Bonnie Bray,

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:39.600
 the current construction plan to minimize the impact on that school.

00:27:39.600 --> 00:27:44.200
 But if we face the delay due to adding this roundabout,

00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:51.300
 we wouldn't be starting the improvements on Bonnie Bray until after that school is open.

00:27:51.300 --> 00:27:58.200
 We also had concerns regarding adding a non-signalized pedestrian crossing at that intersection

00:27:58.200 --> 00:28:03.200
 because with the roundabout not having a signalized crossing times,

00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.200
 the crosswalks would be basically pedestrians crossing live traffic.

00:28:08.200 --> 00:28:13.700
 So in discussion, this presents what is called a multiple-threat scenario

00:28:13.700 --> 00:28:19.100
 where if a pedestrian is crossing and the first car to see them stops,

00:28:19.100 --> 00:28:22.500
 as they're crossing in front of that car, the pedestrian can't see the second lane

00:28:22.500 --> 00:28:24.500
 and that second lane can't see the pedestrian.

00:28:24.500 --> 00:28:31.000
 So there's no signal to stop traffic that prevents a potential hazard to pedestrian travel,

00:28:31.000 --> 00:28:38.000
 especially considering that this is expected to be a major pedestrian route for both of these schools.

00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:41.500
 So with the Bonnie Bray phase 6 improvements,

00:28:41.500 --> 00:28:44.900
 a 10-foot mixed-use path is being added on the east side of the road

00:28:44.900 --> 00:28:53.900
 and a 6- to 8-foot wide sidewalk is being added along the west side.

00:28:53.900 --> 00:28:58.400
 And then we also had concerns about future expansion.

00:28:58.400 --> 00:29:02.400
 So with the traffic impact analysis performed in 2020,

00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:12.900
 a four-lane divided roadway is expected to be able to take us through 2014 with as far as capacity.

00:29:12.900 --> 00:29:22.400
 As soon as we start to exceed the 28,400 average daily trips,

00:29:22.400 --> 00:29:27.400
 we would have to upsize this to the Bonnie Bray to a six-lane roadway.

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:32.900
 That was initially anticipated to be common issue around 2040,

00:29:32.900 --> 00:29:40.900
 but that initial traffic analysis didn't take into consideration the development of these DISD properties

00:29:40.900 --> 00:29:47.900
 or the multifamily developments of the mark and the perch,

00:29:47.900 --> 00:29:52.400
 both of them in that Bonnie Bray corridor and the added traffic.

00:29:52.400 --> 00:29:57.400
 So a six-lane upgrade may be required before, earlier than 2040,

00:29:57.400 --> 00:30:04.400
 and this is just an example of what a six-lane roundabout would look like.

00:30:04.400 --> 00:30:10.900
 So through our analysis, staff leaves that replacing, at this stage of the project,

00:30:10.900 --> 00:30:15.400
 so late with this project ready to bid,

00:30:15.400 --> 00:30:20.900
 replacing that intersection, the plan's signalization improvements with a roundabout

00:30:20.900 --> 00:30:26.900
 would cause more negative than positive impacts on the community and on the project itself.

00:30:26.900 --> 00:30:33.400
 It would cause impacts on the traveling public due to pedestrian risks.

00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:43.400
 With crossing that, it would potentially risk a withdrawal of the federal funding that we have assigned to this project.

00:30:43.400 --> 00:30:51.400
 DISD would face a delay of the improvements in this area,

00:30:51.400 --> 00:30:59.400
 causing major traffic impacts on their routes to school when this would eventually take place.

00:30:59.400 --> 00:31:08.400
 And then the neighborhood also has had a lot of complaints about the intersection at Windsor and Bonnie Bray being a four-way stop,

00:31:08.400 --> 00:31:16.400
 and so the neighborhood is very much looking for the signal being installed there with this Bonnie Bray project.

00:31:16.400 --> 00:31:22.400
 So staff recommends against adding a roundabout this phase, but we're searching,

00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:30.400
 we're looking for feedback from Mobility Committee before we present this to Council.

00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:32.400
 Any questions?

00:31:32.400 --> 00:31:44.400
 I'm pretty sold. I tend to be roundabout, agnostic.

00:31:44.400 --> 00:31:54.400
 I don't know a ton about the data regarding their safety as far as collisions or collisions with pedestrians.

00:31:54.400 --> 00:31:58.400
 My first piece of feedback would be, before you bring it before Council,

00:31:58.400 --> 00:32:08.400
 I would say add something in regarding pedestrian safety and roundabouts as far as data.

00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:15.400
 Just so that, because I'm trying to anticipate what Councilmember Davis might say,

00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:25.400
 that depending on what the priorities are, is it worth $2 million if it's a lot safer? Maybe.

00:32:25.400 --> 00:32:30.400
 Is it worth $2 million if it's a little safer? Maybe not.

00:32:30.400 --> 00:32:37.400
 I think that that's a cost-benefit analysis for sure. My feedback would be it's probably not.

00:32:37.400 --> 00:32:41.400
 But I'd say bring that before Council.

00:32:41.400 --> 00:32:48.400
 So what concerns was, and this is a question for anybody in the room who has an idea,

00:32:48.400 --> 00:32:53.400
 what concerns was Councilmember Davis trying to address when he suggested the roundabout?

00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:55.400
 Was it primarily pedestrians?

00:32:55.400 --> 00:33:00.400
 I believe it's because there was communication between Council and previous staff

00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:04.400
 that a roundabout at this location would be analyzed.

00:33:04.400 --> 00:33:12.400
 And they provided emails of that effect to staff that wasn't communicated during the design process.

00:33:12.400 --> 00:33:17.400
 So the design went forward with a standard signal, a signalized intersection,

00:33:17.400 --> 00:33:23.400
 and we're just following up on providing the analysis and providing the information

00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:27.400
 that was promised previously but not communicated.

00:33:27.400 --> 00:33:34.400
 Okay. All right. So his main concern is just, hey, I heard this was happening. Is it not happening?

00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:35.400
 I believe so.

00:33:35.400 --> 00:33:40.400
 Not so much that he's pushing really hard for a roundabout necessarily?

00:33:40.400 --> 00:33:43.400
 Yeah. I would concur with what Kyle states.

00:33:43.400 --> 00:33:50.400
 We've just been made aware of a situation where there is previous communication that happened with previous staff.

00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:54.400
 None of us were here at that time that said, hey, we would evaluate it.

00:33:54.400 --> 00:33:58.400
 So we are wanting to go through the process to physically do the evaluation,

00:33:58.400 --> 00:34:05.400
 which I believe we've done so I'm confident with the work that Kyle's done to show, yes, it is a possible situation.

00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:10.400
 There are a million ways to design something, but from the staff's recommendation and perspective,

00:34:10.400 --> 00:34:13.400
 it slows the project down three years, adds additional $2 million,

00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:22.400
 and from a pedestrian perspective is maybe not the best-case scenario, and it negatively impacts DISD.

00:34:22.400 --> 00:34:24.400
 We actually met with DISD Monday.

00:34:24.400 --> 00:34:30.400
 And one of the things I know Kyle is aware of but I want to highlight is with you,

00:34:30.400 --> 00:34:38.400
 council has already passed an agreement for the Riney Road portion to be included as a part of the Bonnie and Mary Phase Six.

00:34:38.400 --> 00:34:45.400
 We've already coordinated with DISD through an interlocal agreement to add Riney Road construction to the Bonnie and Mary project

00:34:45.400 --> 00:34:51.400
 so that we are working to have even Riney Road improved before the new elementary comes on board too.

00:34:51.400 --> 00:34:57.400
 So all of that will be delayed to then after the – and if you've driven Riney Road,

00:34:57.400 --> 00:35:05.400
 you know the improvements need to be made before the school – it's a very narrow way also – before there's a ton of school traffic on there.

00:35:05.400 --> 00:35:08.400
 We're simply just bringing it forward so that we can get your recommendation.

00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:15.400
 It will go to council next Tuesday, but we felt that it was important to bring it forward just simply from the standpoint

00:35:15.400 --> 00:35:19.400
 that we were not aware of the conversations and it was brought to our attention.

00:35:19.400 --> 00:35:33.400
 So I guess my question is, was it – I guess Councilmember Davis asked you all to evaluate like the feasibility of adding a roundabout,

00:35:33.400 --> 00:35:38.400
 or was it that you were asked to evaluate or someone at some point was asked to evaluate

00:35:38.400 --> 00:35:48.400
 whether a roundabout at that intersection would be beneficial either for traffic flow, for safety, for pedestrians?

00:35:48.400 --> 00:35:51.400
 What was the request?

00:35:51.400 --> 00:35:59.400
 Yeah, the request that we received was basically to – would you look into if a roundabout could be constructed in that area?

00:35:59.400 --> 00:36:05.400
 There's not a lot of information. The information we received is approximately two sentences,

00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:14.400
 which is saying, "Hey, is there a possibility?" and staff saying, "Yes, we're happy to look into the possibility of putting in a roundabout in that area,"

00:36:14.400 --> 00:36:17.400
 which would have been a part of the design process if we would have been aware of it.

00:36:17.400 --> 00:36:19.400
 Yeah, yeah.

00:36:19.400 --> 00:36:25.400
 Which we would have done the feasibility assessment and my feelings, and I'm sure Kyle will concur,

00:36:25.400 --> 00:36:32.400
 but we would have still gotten to the same point of a signalized intersection at this location, even with the evaluation being completed.

00:36:32.400 --> 00:36:40.400
 Well, I'll say this. I mean, just my personal feedback, like if this were the work session that we're going to have in front of Council,

00:36:40.400 --> 00:36:48.400
 I would say my top priority there would be pedestrian safety and bike safety because, as you mentioned, there is a ton of multifamily going in there.

00:36:48.400 --> 00:36:57.400
 There are going to be two big schools. Ideally, all the folks who live in those multifamily will be sending their kids to walk to those schools,

00:36:57.400 --> 00:37:03.400
 so hopefully that will be very heavy pedestrian traffic and whatever.

00:37:03.400 --> 00:37:15.400
 If you can put something in here about what evidence you have that a signalized intersection is the safest option anyway, then yeah.

00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:20.400
 Because I know that for smaller roadways, sometimes a roundabout is safer for pedestrians, right?

00:37:20.400 --> 00:37:24.400
 But I think the idea is this is not going to remain a small roadway.

00:37:24.400 --> 00:37:30.400
 So six lanes of traffic is a lot longer to get across than a smaller intersection.

00:37:30.400 --> 00:37:36.400
 I would say I have major concerns about the idea of that becoming a six lane roadway at some point in the future,

00:37:36.400 --> 00:37:41.400
 given how dense it's going to be and hopefully how much pedestrian traffic there will be.

00:37:41.400 --> 00:37:45.400
 I would hope that we can keep it small to prioritize that pedestrian traffic.

00:37:45.400 --> 00:37:49.400
 But regarding the roundabout, I'm sold.

00:37:49.400 --> 00:37:55.400
 Sure. And I would say, too, that on Bonnie Rae Face 6, it has a ten foot side path on one side of the roadway

00:37:55.400 --> 00:38:00.400
 and a five to eight foot, depending on the location and the easement on the west side.

00:38:00.400 --> 00:38:04.400
 So we do have all of that as a part of the design that Kyle's been leading.

00:38:04.400 --> 00:38:13.400
 I wonder, too, if there was an element of this that was like the person who requested this

00:38:13.400 --> 00:38:19.400
 was interested in a roundabout for its traffic calming properties to keep traffic slow.

00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:29.400
 Is there anything else that's in the works in the area for keeping traffic slow on Bonnie Rae and on Windsor?

00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:37.400
 There's going to be multiple signalized intersections throughout. There's already a signal at 380 in Bonnie Rae.

00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:45.400
 There'll be one at Windsor. There'll be one at Riney, Barackoway, and then, of course, one at Bonnie Rae and 77.

00:38:45.400 --> 00:38:50.400
 So you're going to be stopping multiple times along that area where now you don't have that stop.

00:38:50.400 --> 00:38:52.400
 I don't know if there's anything you'd like to add.

00:38:52.400 --> 00:38:58.400
 Well, I think this is it. So we have the school zones that are being established in that area to slow traffic.

00:38:58.400 --> 00:39:00.400
 There we go. Okay. Yeah.

00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:07.400
 They're already implemented for the implementation of the high school, but we will have additional school zones with the new elementary school.

00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.400
 So my feedback would be, yeah, just include that, aside about that in the presentation.

00:39:12.400 --> 00:39:13.400
 Sure.

00:39:13.400 --> 00:39:22.400
 Okay. If the point of a roundabout is to slow people down, here are some other ways we're already planning to slow people down.

00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:26.400
 Thank you.

00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:36.400
 Well, I'm not sold on a roundabout because just the massive scale of what it would be in that area.

00:39:36.400 --> 00:39:37.400
 Right.

00:39:37.400 --> 00:39:41.400
 And the number of children. There's just going to be so many families.

00:39:41.400 --> 00:39:49.400
 You all have even been out there when they're doing football games and all of that. All of that's going to be taking place as well.

00:39:49.400 --> 00:39:53.400
 So on Saturday mornings, we're very, very busy.

00:39:53.400 --> 00:39:58.400
 With the parks. And that's another point that I didn't spend a lot of time focusing on.

00:39:58.400 --> 00:40:11.400
 It is in the presentation. It's bringing up with the new high school and with new drivers trying to navigate a complicated roundabout with a lot of school pedestrian traffic.

00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:19.400
 It's not a good solution, but we can add that. I can separate that out and add in some statistics to pilot it.

00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:27.400
 So when this comes to council, I'm sure I'm going to not agree with it going forward.

00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:42.400
 But my question is about Windsor. That's going to be a very large... Are we planning on expanding that in any way? Two lanes? What's going on on Windsor?

00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:55.400
 So Windsor improvements are included with the Westgate project that's currently in design. We're bringing the design contract, I think on the 15th of council, to kick that off.

00:40:55.400 --> 00:41:18.400
 So Windsor, the way it's necked down over by 35. So Windsor's going to be expanded when we rebuild Westgate, when we connect Westgate and log away to a through path there. Windsor's also going to be expanded out to 35 to its current configuration instead of necking down the two lanes.

00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:30.400
 And with the textile I-35 expansion, they're also constructing an overpass, Windsor overpass, to bring it across 35 at that location.

00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:51.400
 So that's going to just seal up that corner, that space there on the east side of Monterrey and of course the west side of Monterrey. I'm just noticing some construction, I guess they're moving utilities or something over there on Windsor.

00:41:51.400 --> 00:42:19.400
 So yeah, that's a sanitary sewer upsizing upgrade. So that's tied together with the sewer master plan, the wastewater master plan. That project's almost completed and that's related to the future utility improvements up around 288, 288, 77 and I-35 that corner.

00:42:19.400 --> 00:42:39.400
 Well that's, I didn't have any additional questions in that regard but I'm just, I'm not going to agree with it. We're just looking forward to having a really nice intersection here so we want to be pleased going through that way. Thank you.

00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:57.400
 Thank you, Sal. Appreciate the feedback and you will see it Tuesday at council. So we'll make some modifications to the presentation and move forward with bringing that to council on Tuesday.

00:42:57.400 --> 00:43:12.400
 Okay so we'll move on to EMC 22-031, Future Items for Mobility Committee Meeting 2022.

00:43:12.400 --> 00:43:23.400
 Alrighty. Thank you so much, Logan. So we don't have any additional items that you asked for from the last meeting, but do want to just kind of go through what's been on the standing agenda.

00:43:23.400 --> 00:43:37.400
 So Bonnie Bray, Kyle just did a great job of bringing you the update on Bonnie Bray Street. The Citywide Speed Study, I think we all know where that stands. We've had those conversations and that presentation was given on the 18th.

00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:57.400
 I will note what you will see coming back and Brett will be working on this with Ismael, our new transportation engineer, is the ordinances specifically related to the speed study and breaking that down into the school zone ordinance versus the ordinance to make the modifications to the roadways with the recommendation.

00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:05.400
 And that will not include the textile roadways at this point. So those ordinances you'll see come back, I believe, we currently have it slated for the December council meeting.

00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:19.400
 On Hickory Creek Road, Phase 3, we did provide an update in the September staff report. There are not a lot of updates to that besides construction has started and moving right along.

00:44:19.400 --> 00:44:34.400
 And then, of course, Ryan Road, same thing, we brought it back in September. And Ryan Road is still on hold until Hickory Creek gets to a point where the construction is to a point where we feel confident that we won't have both roads under construction at the same time.

00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:40.400
 I will mention that Ryan Road is a part of the Denton County bond trip 2022 package.

00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:51.400
 And then the TextDOT response, I just mentioned this, is that we've given all of that information to TextDOT. They told us it takes about six to eight months to receive the response on the citywide speed study.

00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:55.400
 And so we're going to be working through that with them.

00:44:55.400 --> 00:45:04.400
 That's really what we had on the agenda. I don't know if there's anything else that you would like to bring to our attention that you'd like for us to bring back.

00:45:04.400 --> 00:45:12.400
 And Logan, I don't have the date for the November meeting on the top of my head, but I know November and December are going to be coming here before you know it and going to be fast.

00:45:12.400 --> 00:45:24.400
 So one of the things we will want to make sure is that there's something on the agenda that we need to bring back forward because if there's not, there may not be any reason even to hold one of the committee meetings.

00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:33.400
 So let's talk through that. And if I'm open to hearing what you have that you'd like for us to bring forward.

00:45:33.400 --> 00:45:39.400
 I this is a direction.

00:45:39.400 --> 00:45:47.400
 The overlay project is that related to the Microsoft Microsoft.

00:45:47.400 --> 00:45:50.400
 It is now. Yes. Okay.

00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:56.400
 So how are you all going to be handling that situation. Sure.

00:45:56.400 --> 00:46:06.400
 So Microsoft specifically we can bring back a detailed report, you will be receiving a staff report in this Friday's report.

00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:15.400
 Ethan Cox is the director of streets drainage and traffic and I along with several other staff members have been working through that from a contractual perspective.

00:46:15.400 --> 00:46:21.400
 And we will be bringing that forward. Like I said in that in a Friday report item.

00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:31.400
 I mean Ethan's also been in contact with the individuals that made the presentations to counsel on I guess to Tuesday nights ago.

00:46:31.400 --> 00:46:44.400
 So as far as that overall process, not only are we working to make sure that the contractor comes back and we've been holding the contractor accountable to the measures of which they're supposed to be constructing.

00:46:44.400 --> 00:46:50.400
 We also are looking at process improvements internally. And that's something that's being evaluated in a part of that overall.

00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:55.400
 I currently is an ISR may turn to an LSR as we work through that.

00:46:55.400 --> 00:47:02.400
 But that should our anticipation is that will be in your Friday report this week. That's our goal.

00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:12.400
 Was this company nearly finished with that project or were they in the middle of it or were they just getting started when this presentation was done.

00:47:12.400 --> 00:47:21.400
 The contractor has been completed with the work for some time and the presentations that were brought forward are after the fact.

00:47:21.400 --> 00:47:32.400
 I've traveled some roads in my mind. I've said they should have done this road. Why was this road not done?

00:47:32.400 --> 00:47:42.400
 So would it be would it be OK for us to maybe go through it since we're kind of we're having to go back to the contract.

00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:48.400
 There are some roads out there that should have been included in this packet.

00:47:48.400 --> 00:47:57.400
 Yeah. So I will tell you with micro selling we're getting to the point where we're not going to be able to do additional construction when the temperatures get below 40.

00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:02.400
 You cannot do the construction. So we're at a very tight window holding the contractor accountable.

00:48:02.400 --> 00:48:13.400
 We're working to have them completed with everything by November 18th and we're actually meeting for the next three hours to go through this internally and then with the contractor on all of their improvement measures.

00:48:13.400 --> 00:48:23.400
 I would tell you there's particular criteria specifically related to the overall condition index to be used as a part of the overall micro selling.

00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.400
 That would be the same thing for crack sale, the same thing for mill and overlay.

00:48:27.400 --> 00:48:35.400
 So if there's particular red ways that you have questions about, I think the engaged in process is a fantastic way to submit that information.

00:48:35.400 --> 00:48:39.400
 Or if you have a list of women, you want to send it to the city manager's office for us to evaluate.

00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:45.400
 But I would tell you that any work to be completed would more than likely be something in next year's package.

00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:54.400
 And we would want to explain to you the reason why it's a micro sale versus a crack sale versus a mill and overlay as it meets the particular criteria.

00:48:54.400 --> 00:48:56.400
 Are you saying mill and overlay?

00:48:56.400 --> 00:48:57.400
 Mill and overlay.

00:48:57.400 --> 00:48:58.400
 And I-L-L.

00:48:58.400 --> 00:48:59.400
 Mill.

00:48:59.400 --> 00:49:00.400
 I-L-L.

00:49:00.400 --> 00:49:01.400
 And.

00:49:01.400 --> 00:49:02.400
 And.

00:49:02.400 --> 00:49:03.400
 Mill and overlay.

00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:04.400
 Mill and overlay.

00:49:04.400 --> 00:49:05.400
 Okay.

00:49:05.400 --> 00:49:09.400
 Yes, I'm sorry. Sometimes I talk really fast and my text is slaying deads and out.

00:49:09.400 --> 00:49:12.400
 Can you tell me if my perception is accurate here?

00:49:12.400 --> 00:49:13.400
 Okay.

00:49:13.400 --> 00:49:23.400
 Because we, you know, staff came to us with a presentation about the micro seal project and explained OPI to us.

00:49:23.400 --> 00:49:29.400
 And we learned about what the criteria were.

00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:35.400
 And am I correct in my perception that the criteria just kind of weren't followed?

00:49:35.400 --> 00:49:38.400
 It was a process error basically?

00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:44.400
 There are some criteria and decisions that were made that we would like to improve in the future.

00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:54.400
 And there are some standards that we're working around what we feel to be the best practice from a best management practice as to move forward.

00:49:54.400 --> 00:50:01.400
 But I will say that the majority of what we're working through right now is, you know, as always with anything, right?

00:50:01.400 --> 00:50:08.400
 We want to continuously improve and we want to make sure that we're adhering to the processes and procedures.

00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:12.400
 And some of those are things that we would like to document better, right?

00:50:12.400 --> 00:50:16.400
 So that's just a process and Ethan's working through those things.

00:50:16.400 --> 00:50:24.400
 But I would tell you in many of the cases too, the contractor did not perform to the level of accuracy that we're comfortable with.

00:50:24.400 --> 00:50:29.400
 And that's the reason why we're on week three of having a weekly meeting with them.

00:50:29.400 --> 00:50:44.400
 And so I would tell you that, you know, that's part of the process is making sure that the contractor is going back and completing the work in the way that we feel like is going to meet the expectation within the small time frame of window that we have.

00:50:44.400 --> 00:50:52.400
 And then of course next year Ethan and I both commit to making sure that it's done in a different manner.

00:50:52.400 --> 00:50:54.400
 Thank you. Thanks for handling that.

00:50:54.400 --> 00:51:00.400
 I mean, hey, mistakes happen in every organization and all you can do is learn from them.

00:51:00.400 --> 00:51:01.400
 Absolutely.

00:51:01.400 --> 00:51:10.400
 You know, especially since roads are, you know, aside from safety, it's the number one topic of any complaint.

00:51:10.400 --> 00:51:12.400
 We're complaining when the roads are bad.

00:51:12.400 --> 00:51:14.400
 We're complaining when they're getting fixed.

00:51:14.400 --> 00:51:18.400
 And then we complain when they're fixed because people are driving too fast.

00:51:18.400 --> 00:51:20.400
 So it just all goes together.

00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:21.400
 Sure.

00:51:21.400 --> 00:51:29.400
 But I was just very curious about, you know, where we were in terms of, you know, correcting.

00:51:29.400 --> 00:51:31.400
 So you can answer that question.

00:51:31.400 --> 00:51:40.400
 And I was certainly engaged in when I'm driving on the road, I'll be one of those people that will get out of my car and take a picture.

00:51:40.400 --> 00:51:41.400
 Sure.

00:51:41.400 --> 00:51:43.400
 And just, you know, to note it.

00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:50.400
 Because I've driven down a few roads and I thought they didn't even get this road, they didn't even get that road.

00:51:50.400 --> 00:51:51.400
 Right.

00:51:51.400 --> 00:51:52.400
 So thank you.

00:51:52.400 --> 00:51:53.400
 Yeah.

00:51:53.400 --> 00:51:56.400
 I'm going to let Ethan add.

00:51:56.400 --> 00:52:02.400
 I was just going to say to your last point about what's the plan for us to address some of the quality issues that we've seen.

00:52:02.400 --> 00:52:05.400
 That is really the purpose of the meetings with our contractor the last few weeks.

00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:09.400
 And we're actually meeting with them, like Becky said today, to review their repair plans.

00:52:09.400 --> 00:52:19.400
 And so I think that is something that we're hoping to line out not just within the staff report, but also communications to the community for those roadways that do need some additional addressing.

00:52:19.400 --> 00:52:28.400
 Did the city make the determination as to which roads were going to be done, or did we rely on this company?

00:52:28.400 --> 00:52:30.400
 No, that was performed by staff.

00:52:30.400 --> 00:52:32.400
 And I think that's where Becky's talking about.

00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:35.400
 There are some process improvements that we need to take a look at.

00:52:35.400 --> 00:52:43.400
 You know, generally the condition of the road is looked at in terms of prescribing maintenance and the type of maintenance that will be performed.

00:52:43.400 --> 00:52:47.400
 You know, for mill and overlay, you are looking at roads that are in good or better condition.

00:52:47.400 --> 00:52:49.400
 It's a preventative treatment.

00:52:49.400 --> 00:52:51.400
 You put a surface on top of the roadway.

00:52:51.400 --> 00:52:57.400
 That's really there to preserve the underlying pavement, prevent oxidation, prevent water from penetrating it.

00:52:57.400 --> 00:53:02.400
 So I think, you know, in some cases when you look at a roadway, you say, "Man, that really needs some work."

00:53:02.400 --> 00:53:07.400
 For micro seal, you're really looking at smaller or moderate, you know, defects like small cracks.

00:53:07.400 --> 00:53:10.400
 Maybe it was patched because a utility was cut.

00:53:10.400 --> 00:53:13.400
 Those are the types of things that we would look at for micro seal.

00:53:13.400 --> 00:53:20.400
 And I think just kind of looking at the process moving forward is making sure, like Becky said, we have a solid process to follow.

00:53:20.400 --> 00:53:22.400
 It's documented well.

00:53:22.400 --> 00:53:26.400
 And then when we push this out to the community, make sure that they understand, yes, your roadway is in good condition.

00:53:26.400 --> 00:53:34.400
 This is a preventative measure so we can make sure that the roadway lasts as long as the -- we can extend the roadway's life as long as we can.

00:53:34.400 --> 00:53:45.400
 Just a common thought process would be more aesthetics than the actual safety feature of the road.

00:53:45.400 --> 00:53:49.400
 Thank you all very much. Did you have anything else?

00:53:49.400 --> 00:53:56.400
 So I have, I guess, a question about -- so obviously 2181 is open now.

00:53:56.400 --> 00:54:09.400
 I know I've reached out to you and also to the county tech stat engineer just with some questions about certain intersections and disability issues and whatever.

00:54:09.400 --> 00:54:19.400
 And so I know that there's going to be kind of an ongoing process of monitoring those intersections, seeing if any other changes or adjustments need to be made.

00:54:19.400 --> 00:54:25.400
 Obviously, that's not a city roadway, so if people have concerns about it, they should not put it in engage then.

00:54:25.400 --> 00:54:26.400
 They can.

00:54:26.400 --> 00:54:27.400
 Okay.

00:54:27.400 --> 00:54:29.400
 So let me talk to you a little bit about that.

00:54:29.400 --> 00:54:33.400
 So Travis and I, Campbell and I, the area engineer for the county have a great relationship.

00:54:33.400 --> 00:54:36.400
 I'm sorry, for tech stat, have a great relationship.

00:54:36.400 --> 00:54:38.400
 He and I actually talked last night.

00:54:38.400 --> 00:54:45.400
 We typically, when we receive response from and engaged in that involves tech stat, we give specific contact information.

00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:54.400
 What he and I discussed last night, and I'm waiting on the information because Logan needs it, is actually providing not only the contact information and telephone number,

00:54:54.400 --> 00:55:00.400
 they have a system similar to Engage Denton where people can submit and I'm waiting on that information.

00:55:00.400 --> 00:55:02.400
 And he's working to get that over to us.

00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:09.400
 He also has links to their standard process of projects that are either in the planning, design, or construction phase.

00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:17.400
 When you're talking specifically about 2181, and you may or may not be aware of this, any signal within the city of Denton,

00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:24.400
 Ethan's team through Traffic Operations and James Andrews is responsible for, that's a collaboration that we do with tech stat.

00:55:24.400 --> 00:55:34.400
 And what I'd mentioned on 2181 is we've received a lot of feedback in regards to Cedar Creek, which is near Geyer High School, Sundown Ranch,

00:55:34.400 --> 00:55:39.400
 and then a couple of other intersections that the questions are about median cuts and signalization.

00:55:39.400 --> 00:55:48.400
 It even came from our own police department and our safety resource officers that are at those high schools, or at the high school I should say.

00:55:48.400 --> 00:55:54.400
 So we've worked on some collaboration. Brett's been a part of those signal conversations also.

00:55:54.400 --> 00:55:58.400
 And there will be some additional signals that are added in some of those locations.

00:55:58.400 --> 00:56:05.400
 Now I say that to tell you Sundown and Cedar Creek we know for sure we're going to be adding signals too.

00:56:05.400 --> 00:56:12.400
 There are other areas where possibilities of signals might be needed, but what we will do in coordinate with tech stat,

00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:22.400
 and I think probably what you've heard is, we will be working through a process to evaluate the road, the safety of the road,

00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:26.400
 the speed of the road, the concerns we get, the complaints if there's crash data.

00:56:26.400 --> 00:56:33.400
 Anything that is a data resource that we can say this is not operating or functioning the way the intention was.

00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:37.400
 And then that's where we would do evaluations of we need to look at this intersection,

00:56:37.400 --> 00:56:43.400
 a study needs to be performed to make sure it meets warrants is what it is called for a signal.

00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:47.400
 And so there's multiple areas throughout 2181.

00:56:47.400 --> 00:56:54.400
 And actually I'll expand that to tell you that tech stat and ourselves will be meeting next week

00:56:54.400 --> 00:57:00.400
 with Brett and Ethan and several other folks to actually talk specifically about signals

00:57:00.400 --> 00:57:03.400
 and areas of which we feel like there are additional signals that are needed.

00:57:03.400 --> 00:57:07.400
 There are a couple on 2499 that have come to our mind.

00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:10.400
 Brett is leading the entire program.

00:57:10.400 --> 00:57:18.400
 So it's a collaboration and there's an actual what's called the Highway Safety Improvement Program that Brett is currently managing.

00:57:18.400 --> 00:57:22.400
 We're single and you're aware of this because this is from RTC.

00:57:22.400 --> 00:57:25.400
 But the HSIP program, we have a number of signals.

00:57:25.400 --> 00:57:32.400
 One specific one that I know has been of interest is at Discovery Park and 77.

00:57:32.400 --> 00:57:34.400
 And so we do have the signal.

00:57:34.400 --> 00:57:38.400
 It's currently in design and Brett's leading that.

00:57:38.400 --> 00:57:42.400
 But we will be installing a signal at that location along with four other locations.

00:57:42.400 --> 00:57:46.400
 But I tell you that to say that those have received the funding.

00:57:46.400 --> 00:57:47.400
 We're paying for the design.

00:57:47.400 --> 00:57:51.400
 The construction is something TechStat pays for up until a certain extent.

00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:53.400
 And then sometimes we have to kick in additional funding.

00:57:53.400 --> 00:58:00.400
 But the approach we're going to use this year for submitting for new Highway Safety Improvement Program projects

00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:04.400
 is to actually involve TechStat on the areas and the PD on the areas

00:58:04.400 --> 00:58:11.400
 of which we've seen situations that maybe require or need an additional signal or large developments.

00:58:11.400 --> 00:58:18.400
 And we also are evaluating a list where certain developments are paying for a portion of a signal.

00:58:18.400 --> 00:58:21.400
 And so they've already put in some participation.

00:58:21.400 --> 00:58:23.400
 So that's something we could submit to say.

00:58:23.400 --> 00:58:25.400
 And I'm just using round numbers.

00:58:25.400 --> 00:58:28.400
 Development X already submitted $125,000.

00:58:28.400 --> 00:58:30.400
 The signal costs $600,000.

00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:33.400
 We're a fourth of the way there or whatever.

00:58:33.400 --> 00:58:37.400
 Can we get the other funding that's needed from TechStat?

00:58:37.400 --> 00:58:41.400
 So we've got several different areas and we're going to approach it a little bit differently this year.

00:58:41.400 --> 00:58:42.400
 That's great.

00:58:42.400 --> 00:58:43.400
 I'm really glad to hear that.

00:58:43.400 --> 00:58:45.400
 Very comprehensive answer.

00:58:45.400 --> 00:58:46.400
 That's fantastic.

00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:51.400
 Any sense of so like if something that's not a signal issue.

00:58:51.400 --> 00:58:53.400
 I'll trust that signal issues are in the works.

00:58:53.400 --> 00:58:57.400
 Like, for example, someone emailed me with a concern about like a visibility issue.

00:58:57.400 --> 00:58:59.400
 And I kind of just emailed that.

00:58:59.400 --> 00:59:00.400
 And he also emailed Travis.

00:59:00.400 --> 00:59:02.400
 And I think you emailed Travis Campbell about that.

00:59:02.400 --> 00:59:05.400
 And TechStat did something that took care of it.

00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:06.400
 Sure.

00:59:06.400 --> 00:59:14.400
 Would you prefer that those types of concerns be sent in through TechStat's version of Engaged In?

00:59:14.400 --> 00:59:18.400
 You know, I think TechStat's preference would be that the sooner they know about a concern,

00:59:18.400 --> 00:59:23.400
 the faster they can fix something, especially if it's a project in construction.

00:59:23.400 --> 00:59:27.400
 If I'm thinking about the one you were referring to where there were three concerns,

00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:31.400
 TechStat's working with the city on solutions in those areas.

00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:33.400
 Like a line of visibility issue?

00:59:33.400 --> 00:59:35.400
 Yes, a site issue.

00:59:35.400 --> 00:59:38.400
 And we actually met with them last Wednesday to go through all of those.

00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:41.400
 A couple of them have already been addressed or are working to be addressed.

00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:43.400
 There's one additional one that's a little bit more difficult.

00:59:43.400 --> 00:59:49.400
 But that response has been given back by TechStat to the individual who brought that to their concern.

00:59:49.400 --> 00:59:52.400
 My apologies for just asking a question that's about my personal curiosity.

00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:54.400
 But what was done to address it?

00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:55.400
 Just because I don't even know.

00:59:55.400 --> 01:00:00.400
 So in certain situations, if the sound wall was in the way, portions of the sound wall could be removed.

01:00:00.400 --> 01:00:05.400
 Or if in certain situations, a lot of times the line of sight is where the stop bar is,

01:00:05.400 --> 01:00:09.400
 because that's where cars have to go to, the stop bar might be moved up.

01:00:09.400 --> 01:00:12.400
 But then we worry about the conflict with the pedestrian traffic.

01:00:12.400 --> 01:00:17.400
 So the stop bar might be moved up, but the pedestrian traffic might have to be rerouted.

01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:23.400
 And so I'll give you an example where we actually pushed the pedestrian traffic kind of at more of an angle

01:00:23.400 --> 01:00:27.400
 and then brought it back across and brought it back up so that we could move the stop bar forward

01:00:27.400 --> 01:00:30.400
 so you could see to get to the intersection.

01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:34.400
 So there's intersection design that goes into those types of conversations.

01:00:34.400 --> 01:00:36.400
 Okay, thank you for that.

01:00:36.400 --> 01:00:37.400
 Of course.

01:00:37.400 --> 01:00:38.400
 That totally answers my question.

01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:42.400
 Okay, perfect. So anything particular that you see as a future item to bring forward?

01:00:42.400 --> 01:00:44.400
 I don't think so.

01:00:44.400 --> 01:00:48.400
 I mean, I even feel like the micro-sealed thing is fine for a Friday report for me.

01:00:48.400 --> 01:00:50.400
 I agree as well.

01:00:50.400 --> 01:00:52.400
 Okay, perfect.

01:00:52.400 --> 01:00:58.400
 So then I would say if anything comes up between now and maybe the week of Thanksgiving

01:00:58.400 --> 01:01:03.400
 or the week before Thanksgiving, then we will look to add it to the agenda.

01:01:03.400 --> 01:01:09.400
 If not, then it might be a possibility that the November 30th meeting, we might skip the November 30th

01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:10.400
 and have the December.

01:01:10.400 --> 01:01:11.400
 I know you mentioned that.

01:01:11.400 --> 01:01:12.400
 We don't have a December 1.

01:01:12.400 --> 01:01:14.400
 We don't have a December 1.

01:01:14.400 --> 01:01:19.400
 But we do have to solidify a 2022 schedule at the next meeting.

01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:21.400
 So we have to have another one.

01:01:21.400 --> 01:01:22.400
 Okay.

01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:25.400
 But it may be just doing that.

01:01:25.400 --> 01:01:27.400
 We're here for a question for Ben, I guess.

01:01:27.400 --> 01:01:33.400
 Is that something that can just be done via email?

01:01:33.400 --> 01:01:35.400
 It typically has to take a vote.

01:01:35.400 --> 01:01:36.400
 Yeah.

01:01:36.400 --> 01:01:37.400
 Okay.

01:01:37.400 --> 01:01:38.400
 We'll come back.

01:01:38.400 --> 01:01:40.400
 We'll come back in November.

01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:41.400
 I'm fine with November.

01:01:41.400 --> 01:01:45.400
 I'm probably not going to be here, but if you would press the finger.

01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:49.400
 Well, since I have no light, I'll be here.

01:01:49.400 --> 01:01:55.400
 We can work through that, too, if there's something that can be done fairly quick through the process.

01:01:55.400 --> 01:01:59.400
 And, you know, of course, John can always bring an update.

01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:03.400
 And there may be something we decide that's a topic maybe that we could bring forward.

01:02:03.400 --> 01:02:04.400
 We'll discuss it.

01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:09.400
 I'm thinking DCTA may also be here, but I'm not 100% on it.

01:02:09.400 --> 01:02:10.400
 Yeah.

01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:13.400
 So DCTA is trying to work to continue to bring you an update, too.

01:02:13.400 --> 01:02:19.400
 We're working to sync up where, Councilmember McGuire, your update's not at the same time as theirs.

01:02:19.400 --> 01:02:21.400
 So there's different.

01:02:21.400 --> 01:02:23.400
 So we can work through that.

01:02:23.400 --> 01:02:25.400
 So we'll see.

01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:27.400
 And I think that that makes sense.

01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:36.400
 And we'll make sure we bring forward the calendar, too, so that we can get the calendar set for the 2023 calendar year.

01:02:36.400 --> 01:02:39.400
 It's hard to believe we're already talking about that.

01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:40.400
 Well, then thank y'all.

01:02:40.400 --> 01:02:45.400
 If nothing else, I know we have the calendar, ITS report, possible DCTA.

01:02:45.400 --> 01:02:49.400
 And then we'll discuss internally if there's anything additional to bring forward.

01:02:49.400 --> 01:02:51.400
 And we appreciate it.

01:02:51.400 --> 01:02:56.400
 Thank you.

01:02:56.400 --> 01:03:00.400
 Well, we will close the meeting at 1110.

01:03:00.400 --> 01:03:01.400
 Thank you.

01:03:01.400 --> 01:03:02.400
 Thank you, everybody.

01:03:02.400 --> 01:03:03.400
 Thank you very much.
