00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.620
 >> Good morning, and welcome to the mobility committee, Wednesday, December the 20th, 8AM.

00:00:10.620 --> 00:00:16.300
 We've determined that a quorum is present, and we're going to convene in our regular

00:00:16.300 --> 00:00:19.180
 meeting this morning at 8AM.

00:00:19.180 --> 00:00:26.260
 Do we have any consent -- I'm sorry, citizens' comments on any agenda items, John?

00:00:26.260 --> 00:00:27.260
 Okay.

00:00:27.260 --> 00:00:29.860
 Then we'll move on to number two.

00:00:29.860 --> 00:00:39.160
 Commence for individual consideration, A, MC23-060, consider approval of the minutes

00:00:39.160 --> 00:00:41.000
 of November 29th, 2023.

00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:43.960
 Can we get a motion for approval?

00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:44.960
 >> I move approval.

00:00:44.960 --> 00:00:47.680
 >> I second, and -- or vote?

00:00:47.680 --> 00:00:48.680
 >> Aye.

00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:49.680
 >> Aye.

00:00:49.680 --> 00:00:50.680
 >> All right.

00:00:50.680 --> 00:00:51.680
 Ayes have it.

00:00:51.680 --> 00:01:02.740
 On to B, MC23-061, receive a report, hold a discussion regarding the City of Denton Transportation

00:01:02.740 --> 00:01:05.080
 Mobility Project Status Report.

00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:12.300
 >> Mr. Polster is not able to attend today, so we're going to have to hold that item.

00:01:12.300 --> 00:01:13.300
 >> Okay.

00:01:13.300 --> 00:01:14.300
 All right.

00:01:14.300 --> 00:01:15.300
 Well, yes.

00:01:15.300 --> 00:01:20.340
 >> Will that -- will the -- any updates will be consolidated into the January update?

00:01:20.340 --> 00:01:21.340
 >> Yes.

00:01:21.340 --> 00:01:22.340
 >> Okay.

00:01:22.340 --> 00:01:23.340
 All right.

00:01:23.340 --> 00:01:24.340
 Good.

00:01:24.340 --> 00:01:25.340
 Thank you for asking that question.

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:26.340
 All right.

00:01:26.340 --> 00:01:33.180
 Well, then we'll move on to C, MC23-068, receive a report, hold a discussion and approve the

00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:36.740
 Mobility 2024 meeting schedule.

00:01:36.740 --> 00:01:37.740
 >> So staff --

00:01:37.740 --> 00:01:38.740
 >> Do you have some information on that?

00:01:38.740 --> 00:01:46.080
 >> Staff is proposing to have the meetings the fourth -- Wednesday of the month, and

00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:51.860
 we provided in your backup a calendar that shows when they were following a council meeting.

00:01:51.860 --> 00:01:54.860
 So council meeting on Tuesday, then we have back-to-back.

00:01:54.860 --> 00:02:03.140
 We have a couple of them, but we're also proposing to move them to 10 a.m., instead of 8 a.m.

00:02:03.140 --> 00:02:06.940
 >> At this point, as a chair, I am okay with that.

00:02:06.940 --> 00:02:07.940
 I'll --

00:02:07.940 --> 00:02:08.940
 >> Yeah.

00:02:08.940 --> 00:02:14.020
 I think the two of us, as I recall the previous discussion, were fine with 8, 9, or 10.

00:02:14.020 --> 00:02:18.180
 We were fine with Wednesdays or whatever.

00:02:18.180 --> 00:02:24.300
 I think the constriction was Councilor McGee, who unfortunately is not here.

00:02:24.300 --> 00:02:29.940
 So I don't know whether that will, you know, be --

00:02:29.940 --> 00:02:33.420
 >> You're making a decision?

00:02:33.420 --> 00:02:34.420
 >> Yeah.

00:02:34.420 --> 00:02:40.820
 >> Well, did Councilor McGee give any indication of what he would like to consider?

00:02:40.820 --> 00:02:41.820
 Okay.

00:02:41.820 --> 00:02:46.940
 So I am going to look for a motion for approval.

00:02:46.940 --> 00:02:49.740
 >> I think this is direction, Chair.

00:02:49.740 --> 00:02:50.740
 >> Direction.

00:02:50.740 --> 00:02:57.780
 >> But, yeah, I'm okay with this, and I guess we can ask Councilor McGee to come bring this

00:02:57.780 --> 00:02:59.820
 back if this is not tenable.

00:02:59.820 --> 00:03:00.820
 >> Yeah.

00:03:00.820 --> 00:03:02.820
 Let's do that.

00:03:02.820 --> 00:03:14.980
 So this is just -- we have, I guess, tentatively and -- or let's say permanently made a decision

00:03:14.980 --> 00:03:22.200
 to approve the Mobility Committee 2024 meeting schedule, and is this for a motion, or are

00:03:22.200 --> 00:03:26.340
 we just approving what we suggested on last --

00:03:26.340 --> 00:03:27.340
 >> I think you have to vote on it.

00:03:27.340 --> 00:03:28.340
 >> I have to vote on it?

00:03:28.340 --> 00:03:29.340
 Okay.

00:03:29.340 --> 00:03:30.340
 So we're going to just look for a motion.

00:03:30.340 --> 00:03:31.340
 Would you like to motion that?

00:03:31.340 --> 00:03:32.340
 >> Yeah.

00:03:32.340 --> 00:03:33.340
 I'll move it, please.

00:03:33.340 --> 00:03:34.340
 >> All right.

00:03:34.340 --> 00:03:35.340
 And I'll second.

00:03:35.340 --> 00:03:44.620
 So we will vote yes to the affirmative for both of us, and 10, 10 to 12 is what we're

00:03:44.620 --> 00:03:47.620
 approving.

00:03:47.620 --> 00:03:48.620
 So the ayes have it.

00:03:48.620 --> 00:03:49.620
 Can we not get an aye?

00:03:49.620 --> 00:03:50.620
 >> Aye.

00:03:50.620 --> 00:03:51.620
 >> All right.

00:03:51.620 --> 00:03:52.620
 We got ayes have it.

00:03:52.620 --> 00:03:53.620
 Okay.

00:03:53.620 --> 00:04:02.220
 So then we're going to move on to DMC 23-076, Discussion, Consideration, and Recommendation.

00:04:02.220 --> 00:04:06.860
 Regarding the composition and direction of the City of Denton Mobility Committee.

00:04:06.860 --> 00:04:07.860
 Yes.

00:04:07.860 --> 00:04:10.100
 We need to have that discussion.

00:04:10.100 --> 00:04:19.860
 >> So this item I added to the agenda in response to dissolving the Traffic Safety Commission.

00:04:19.860 --> 00:04:26.060
 Council had made some comments when we brought the item forward about having different representation

00:04:26.060 --> 00:04:31.580
 on the committee, so I wanted to discuss the possibility of adding two seats to the Mobility

00:04:31.580 --> 00:04:38.900
 Committee that are, you know, community members, possibly previous Traffic Safety Commissioners,

00:04:38.900 --> 00:04:44.060
 and then that would make this committee no longer a council subcommittee, but it would

00:04:44.060 --> 00:04:55.060
 be an advisory committee to council, but wanted to get the committee's input, direction on

00:04:55.060 --> 00:04:57.620
 what you would like to see moving forward.

00:04:57.620 --> 00:04:58.620
 >> Yes.

00:04:58.620 --> 00:05:10.180
 >> So I know some of the discussion centered around getting that additional community input.

00:05:10.180 --> 00:05:16.980
 Some of the things that I think we weren't sure on is was there any requirements that

00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:25.140
 there be a council subcommittee to handle any particular business if we were to dissolve

00:05:25.140 --> 00:05:31.460
 and reform this committee with additional members and an additional structure, would

00:05:31.460 --> 00:05:32.460
 that break anything?

00:05:32.460 --> 00:05:36.780
 >> Not that I'm aware of, but Hillary, do you know if there's any?

00:05:36.780 --> 00:05:37.780
 >> No.

00:05:37.780 --> 00:05:43.540
 I'm not aware of it, but I'm also very new.

00:05:43.540 --> 00:05:46.540
 >> Is this your new assignment?

00:05:46.540 --> 00:05:49.540
 >> No, I'm just covering Ben.

00:05:49.540 --> 00:05:50.540
 >> Oh.

00:05:50.540 --> 00:05:56.420
 >> I did talk to Mac about it, and while it's not, you know, we could go either way.

00:05:56.420 --> 00:06:01.980
 We could add members to the Traffic Safety Commission, dissolve Mobility Committee, but

00:06:01.980 --> 00:06:07.460
 the recommendation was to dissolve Traffic Safety because we're having quorum issues,

00:06:07.460 --> 00:06:12.540
 and a lot of the items that we're bringing, we're bringing to both committees.

00:06:12.540 --> 00:06:22.380
 >> I think there is generally, you know, a consensus and approval to having some sort

00:06:22.380 --> 00:06:32.980
 of joint thing, kind of like the DCRC in some ways, but the -- yeah, I just want -- I don't

00:06:32.980 --> 00:06:34.580
 personally mind that reorganization.

00:06:34.580 --> 00:06:40.780
 I just don't want us to make sure we don't break some sort of state requirement that

00:06:40.780 --> 00:06:48.980
 four Mobility Communities, four municipal government, but as long as there's not -- then -- I saw

00:06:48.980 --> 00:06:56.820
 staff in the AIS had a recommendation of five, so to add two citizens.

00:06:56.820 --> 00:07:02.100
 Yeah, odd numbers are better than even numbers, as we're finding on DCRC.

00:07:02.100 --> 00:07:05.000
 >> We are finding them.

00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:13.980
 >> Yes, I -- the only challenge will be how those two are nominated, I think, would be

00:07:13.980 --> 00:07:17.300
 the challenging aspect.

00:07:17.300 --> 00:07:21.100
 I guess that would have to come before all of council.

00:07:21.100 --> 00:07:22.100
 >> Yes.

00:07:22.100 --> 00:07:26.980
 >> And you all will make the recommendation for us.

00:07:26.980 --> 00:07:29.300
 >> We can make a recommendation on how the --

00:07:29.300 --> 00:07:31.740
 >> How they're going to be nominated.

00:07:31.740 --> 00:07:35.340
 >> Yes, how the nomination process goes.

00:07:35.340 --> 00:07:36.340
 >> Okay.

00:07:36.340 --> 00:07:41.420
 Well, as far as I'm concerned, you know, I think it would be great to have some additional

00:07:41.420 --> 00:07:51.380
 ears, eyes and ears, citizenry, eyes and ears on this committee.

00:07:51.380 --> 00:07:58.740
 But explain to me how this committee -- this is for educational purposes -- how this committee

00:07:58.740 --> 00:08:08.020
 with just city council members on it is going to change the value of this committee with

00:08:08.020 --> 00:08:11.780
 having additional two citizens on it.

00:08:11.780 --> 00:08:18.220
 What's going to change in terms of the value of what we're doing here?

00:08:18.220 --> 00:08:22.260
 >> I think, you know, you'll still hear and see the same items.

00:08:22.260 --> 00:08:26.460
 It's just whether or not you want a different type of representation on your committee.

00:08:26.460 --> 00:08:32.420
 So ultimately, right now, you're a subcommittee of council, so you see the things in a little

00:08:32.420 --> 00:08:37.220
 bit more detail than the full council sees, especially on some of the projects, you're

00:08:37.220 --> 00:08:39.700
 able to dig in a lot more.

00:08:39.700 --> 00:08:44.900
 If you would like some more citizen input, then adding a couple of seats to the committee

00:08:44.900 --> 00:08:48.500
 may give you a different perspective before they get to council items.

00:08:48.500 --> 00:08:49.500
 But that's --

00:08:49.500 --> 00:08:52.500
 >> That's pretty much all I have to say.

00:08:52.500 --> 00:08:54.460
 >> Thank you, Chair.

00:08:54.460 --> 00:09:04.620
 Are there -- two things -- are there legal differences when we're an entire body of council?

00:09:04.620 --> 00:09:09.660
 That membership is one thing, and if you're -- if citizen members -- does that change

00:09:09.660 --> 00:09:15.980
 the kinds of materials that we can see, the kinds of discussions we can have?

00:09:15.980 --> 00:09:16.980
 >> No.

00:09:16.980 --> 00:09:17.980
 >> Okay.

00:09:17.980 --> 00:09:21.180
 >> No, it's all open to the public.

00:09:21.180 --> 00:09:29.100
 And does this committee have executive session?

00:09:29.100 --> 00:09:30.100
 And would that committee --

00:09:30.100 --> 00:09:36.420
 >> I don't.

00:09:36.420 --> 00:09:37.420
 >> I don't believe you do.

00:09:37.420 --> 00:09:39.340
 >> I don't think we do.

00:09:39.340 --> 00:09:40.340
 >> Okay.

00:09:40.340 --> 00:09:41.340
 >> Okay.

00:09:41.340 --> 00:09:51.900
 Well, we do have some boards and commissions that have a mix of council and citizens on

00:09:51.900 --> 00:09:52.900
 them.

00:09:52.900 --> 00:09:56.520
 So it would be very much similar to that.

00:09:56.520 --> 00:10:02.860
 It would no longer -- you know, it would just be an advisory committee, but like, EDP board

00:10:02.860 --> 00:10:07.340
 is one where you have a mix of current council members and community.

00:10:07.340 --> 00:10:08.340
 >> CRC.

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:09.340
 >> CRC.

00:10:09.340 --> 00:10:16.020
 >> Well, my biggest goal in the conversation and the things that went on in council is

00:10:16.020 --> 00:10:21.740
 to maintain that level of community input on these items.

00:10:21.740 --> 00:10:30.640
 You know, however we reduce the load on staff sort of was sort of up to staff to some degree.

00:10:30.640 --> 00:10:36.380
 That was my biggest concern about the dissolution of the traffic safety committee was keeping

00:10:36.380 --> 00:10:39.860
 that broader community feedback.

00:10:39.860 --> 00:10:46.860
 So if this isn't quite as broad as we had before, I think there was five members on

00:10:46.860 --> 00:10:47.860
 that committee?

00:10:47.860 --> 00:10:48.860
 >> Three.

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:49.860
 >> Three?

00:10:49.860 --> 00:10:50.860
 Oh, then it is nearly as broad.

00:10:50.860 --> 00:10:53.700
 Then there's really not much to complain about there.

00:10:53.700 --> 00:11:00.100
 >> And two of the seats were vacant and have been vacant for a while, so we were having

00:11:00.100 --> 00:11:01.100
 quorum challenges on that.

00:11:01.100 --> 00:11:06.700
 >> The quorum for the new committee would be any member?

00:11:06.700 --> 00:11:11.780
 So if there were -- so for instance, councilmember McGee is not here, we can maintain this quorum

00:11:11.780 --> 00:11:18.940
 with two councilmembers, but quorum on the new committee would be any member of the committee?

00:11:18.940 --> 00:11:19.940
 >> I would think so, yes.

00:11:19.940 --> 00:11:20.940
 >> Okay.

00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:26.700
 I mean, any member -- any collection over 50% of the committee?

00:11:26.700 --> 00:11:27.700
 Okay.

00:11:27.700 --> 00:11:28.700
 >> Okay.

00:11:28.700 --> 00:11:34.500
 And just like in DCRC, where we have specific rules that the chair needs to be a member

00:11:34.500 --> 00:11:42.340
 of council, we could potentially fine tune and expanded mobility committee's procedural

00:11:42.340 --> 00:11:43.340
 rules as well.

00:11:43.340 --> 00:11:44.340
 >> That's what we'll need.

00:11:44.340 --> 00:11:45.340
 >> Yeah.

00:11:45.340 --> 00:11:48.860
 Like if there's a preference for -- to ensure that the chair is a member of council, or

00:11:48.860 --> 00:11:56.700
 if there is a preference to ensure that quorum is a specific mix of members, we could draft

00:11:56.700 --> 00:11:57.700
 accordingly.

00:11:57.700 --> 00:11:58.700
 >> Okay.

00:11:58.700 --> 00:11:59.700
 That's what we'll need.

00:11:59.700 --> 00:12:00.700
 >> Yeah.

00:12:00.700 --> 00:12:01.700
 I would encourage that modeling of the --

00:12:01.700 --> 00:12:02.700
 >> Quorum of council.

00:12:02.700 --> 00:12:03.700
 >> The leadership of council, or of the body being from council.

00:12:03.700 --> 00:12:04.700
 >> Okay.

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:05.700
 Do you want chair and vice chair to be council, or just chair?

00:12:05.700 --> 00:12:06.700
 Does it matter?

00:12:06.700 --> 00:12:07.700
 >> Chair and vice chair.

00:12:07.700 --> 00:12:08.700
 >> Right.

00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:09.700
 Okay.

00:12:09.700 --> 00:12:10.700
 We can --

00:12:10.700 --> 00:12:11.700
 >> Definitely.

00:12:11.700 --> 00:12:22.700
 >> If only because that adds that extra layer to keep it sort of more, you know, well --

00:12:22.700 --> 00:12:23.700
 >> Okay.

00:12:23.700 --> 00:12:31.700
 >> Adding the advisory positions of the citizens to the committee, rather than -- I think that

00:12:31.700 --> 00:12:36.700
 helps with the merger and consistency with direction.

00:12:36.700 --> 00:12:37.700
 >> Okay.

00:12:37.700 --> 00:12:42.700
 So can we get a -- do we need -- we need a most -- is this -- we're just a recommendation

00:12:42.700 --> 00:12:43.700
 right now.

00:12:43.700 --> 00:12:44.700
 >> Just a recommendation.

00:12:44.700 --> 00:12:45.700
 >> Okay.

00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:47.700
 So yes, we -- I'd like to direct us to do that.

00:12:47.700 --> 00:12:50.700
 And it sounds like we have consensus here.

00:12:50.700 --> 00:12:51.700
 >> Yeah.

00:12:51.700 --> 00:12:55.700
 >> So we're going to move you off first and move forward with -- and then when this comes

00:12:55.700 --> 00:12:56.700
 -- this is going to come back to the council again.

00:12:56.700 --> 00:12:57.700
 >> Yes.

00:12:57.700 --> 00:12:58.700
 It will come to council.

00:12:58.700 --> 00:13:03.700
 >> And then we'll -- we can definitely be in agreement to dissolve the traffic safety

00:13:03.700 --> 00:13:04.700
 committee.

00:13:04.700 --> 00:13:07.700
 >> Are we -- are we coming back here first, or are we going straight to council?

00:13:07.700 --> 00:13:12.700
 >> I was planning on taking it to council just because I wanted to have the discussion

00:13:12.700 --> 00:13:18.700
 at the same time as the -- as dissolving traffic safety commission, so that the full council

00:13:18.700 --> 00:13:19.700
 kind of understood.

00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:22.700
 But if you'd prefer to bring it back here first.

00:13:22.700 --> 00:13:23.700
 >> No, I'm okay.

00:13:23.700 --> 00:13:26.700
 I was just asking for understanding the timeline.

00:13:26.700 --> 00:13:29.700
 I do have one other question, Chair, if you mind.

00:13:29.700 --> 00:13:30.700
 >> Yeah.

00:13:30.700 --> 00:13:36.700
 >> And that is the votes that we had on that item in council -- and I'll be mindful of

00:13:36.700 --> 00:13:45.700
 the agenda, but the -- were tied votes, which means -- makes that dissolution that you need

00:13:45.700 --> 00:13:46.700
 to come back.

00:13:46.700 --> 00:13:47.700
 >> Yes.

00:13:47.700 --> 00:13:55.700
 >> So this is a new -- completely new item to dissolve everything and then reform a new

00:13:55.700 --> 00:13:56.700
 hybrid committee?

00:13:56.700 --> 00:13:59.700
 Is that how we would handle everything?

00:13:59.700 --> 00:14:01.700
 As a new agenda item?

00:14:01.700 --> 00:14:09.700
 >> I think we could probably do it -- that's a good question.

00:14:09.700 --> 00:14:15.700
 I could see us, you know, taking the second whack at dissolving the traffic safety and

00:14:15.700 --> 00:14:28.700
 then a subsequent item to reform as the mobility/traffic safety -- yeah, committee.

00:14:28.700 --> 00:14:35.700
 Or it may just come down to what is simpler.

00:14:35.700 --> 00:14:37.700
 >> It would definitely be a separate item.

00:14:37.700 --> 00:14:43.700
 However, we can make sure that there's information provided in the agenda information sheet to

00:14:43.700 --> 00:14:48.700
 give some more context to dissolving traffic safety with, you know, the subsequent item

00:14:48.700 --> 00:14:51.700
 of changing the mobility committee makeup.

00:14:51.700 --> 00:14:52.700
 >> Okay.

00:14:52.700 --> 00:14:53.700
 >> Perfect.

00:14:53.700 --> 00:14:58.700
 >> Yeah, I -- yeah, if we can -- if that could come out in advance for council before we see

00:14:58.700 --> 00:15:03.700
 everything, that would be -- because I think a lot of the issues sometimes are surprises.

00:15:03.700 --> 00:15:04.700
 So.

00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:14.700
 >> Well, then, you know, we had to have the delay so we can have the discussion.

00:15:14.700 --> 00:15:17.700
 This is the discussion that we were kind of missing anyway.

00:15:17.700 --> 00:15:18.700
 >> Yes.

00:15:18.700 --> 00:15:19.700
 >> So it's time.

00:15:19.700 --> 00:15:21.700
 So, yes, please move forward with that.

00:15:21.700 --> 00:15:23.700
 Thank you very much for that item.

00:15:23.700 --> 00:15:38.700
 So we're going to move on to EMC 23-075.

00:15:38.700 --> 00:15:39.700
 >> Good morning.

00:15:39.700 --> 00:15:41.700
 Trevor Crane, director of capital projects.

00:15:41.700 --> 00:15:42.700
 >> Good morning.

00:15:42.700 --> 00:15:46.700
 >> And I will -- as soon as I find the exhibit.

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:47.700
 Perfect.

00:15:47.700 --> 00:15:51.700
 So I'm going to go through some of the staff reports today.

00:15:51.700 --> 00:15:55.700
 A lot of this you've already seen before, but we do have some updates.

00:15:55.700 --> 00:15:59.700
 So Bonnie Brade Phase 3, that project is currently under construction.

00:15:59.700 --> 00:16:00.700
 No issues there.

00:16:00.700 --> 00:16:01.700
 So moving forward.

00:16:01.700 --> 00:16:08.700
 Bonnie Brade Phase 6, no real updates yet, but we are still on track to bid that project

00:16:08.700 --> 00:16:14.700
 out in Q1 of next year, working through the last utility relocations, and then finalizing

00:16:14.700 --> 00:16:15.700
 our plans with TxDOT.

00:16:15.700 --> 00:16:17.700
 So it's in TxDOT's court.

00:16:17.700 --> 00:16:20.700
 They're giving us a couple more comments, and then we'll be ready to bid that project

00:16:20.700 --> 00:16:21.700
 out.

00:16:21.700 --> 00:16:22.700
 >> Okay.

00:16:22.700 --> 00:16:23.700
 We have a question.

00:16:23.700 --> 00:16:27.700
 >> I don't have any problems with this, but something that occurred to me in a previous

00:16:27.700 --> 00:16:31.700
 meeting, I meant to bring it up, and I think it's germane to any of these times when we're

00:16:31.700 --> 00:16:33.700
 phasing our projects.

00:16:33.700 --> 00:16:41.700
 I don't know that the oversight board always knows how long particular projects are forecast

00:16:41.700 --> 00:16:42.700
 to be.

00:16:42.700 --> 00:16:47.700
 So when we see it's a one-year, two-year, we've got a three-month delay or a nine-month

00:16:47.700 --> 00:16:50.700
 delay or we're two months early or whatever.

00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:58.700
 We don't have a framework of context for the goodness or badness of that phasing.

00:16:58.700 --> 00:17:06.700
 So if there was a way that we could get the information that this is 30% through a three-year

00:17:06.700 --> 00:17:13.700
 contract or something like that to where we understood the framework and context of phasing

00:17:13.700 --> 00:17:15.700
 for this and a lot of the other things, too.

00:17:15.700 --> 00:17:18.700
 I was going to ask John for that if he presented today.

00:17:18.700 --> 00:17:19.700
 >> Yeah.

00:17:19.700 --> 00:17:23.700
 And so we are working on something that would probably help out, but we're looking at doing

00:17:23.700 --> 00:17:28.700
 construction estimate or construction updates throughout the life of the projects and with

00:17:28.700 --> 00:17:32.700
 our communications team doing videos and updates.

00:17:32.700 --> 00:17:35.700
 So it's not just at the beginning of a project we're saying, "Hey, we're starting," and

00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:37.700
 at the end of a project, "Hey, we're finished."

00:17:37.700 --> 00:17:41.700
 We want to show that update as we're going, "Hey, we're actually out here doing work.

00:17:41.700 --> 00:17:42.700
 This is what it looks like.

00:17:42.700 --> 00:17:45.700
 These are where we're at with the project," and those types of things.

00:17:45.700 --> 00:17:50.700
 So I think we can absolutely bring that back and start doing some outreach like that.

00:17:50.700 --> 00:17:51.700
 >> Thank you.

00:17:51.700 --> 00:17:54.700
 >> You know, even on a spreadsheet, you know, just something visual.

00:17:54.700 --> 00:17:55.700
 >> Sure.

00:17:55.700 --> 00:17:56.700
 No problem.

00:17:56.700 --> 00:17:57.700
 We can do that.

00:17:57.700 --> 00:17:58.700
 That's easy.

00:17:58.700 --> 00:18:00.700
 Yeah, we keep all that stuff internally, so we can absolutely share that.

00:18:00.700 --> 00:18:03.700
 >> That would be great.

00:18:03.700 --> 00:18:07.700
 >> So Ronnie Road -- I'll switch to the map here in a second, but in the last meeting,

00:18:07.700 --> 00:18:11.700
 we talked about the Ronnie Road and kind of all what's going on in that area and how it's

00:18:11.700 --> 00:18:13.700
 affecting everything there.

00:18:13.700 --> 00:18:17.700
 So there are currently three capital projects that are happening in that area.

00:18:17.700 --> 00:18:22.700
 Bonnebrae Phase 6, which I just talked about, that one's looking to start construction,

00:18:22.700 --> 00:18:25.700
 probably start construction in Q2 of next year.

00:18:25.700 --> 00:18:30.700
 We also have what we call the Ronnie Road East project, and so that is going to be -- it's

00:18:30.700 --> 00:18:34.700
 probably easier for me to show you on the map as I'm talking.

00:18:34.700 --> 00:18:40.700
 So Bonnebrae Phase 6 is this red line that's running from US 77 all the way to 380.

00:18:40.700 --> 00:18:43.700
 This blue line right here is Ronnie Road East.

00:18:43.700 --> 00:18:44.700
 That's what we're talking about.

00:18:44.700 --> 00:18:49.700
 So it's going to pick up kind of from where Bonnebrae Phase 6 stops on Ronnie Road, right

00:18:49.700 --> 00:18:53.700
 in front of where the new elementary school is going to be, and then it will continue

00:18:53.700 --> 00:18:56.700
 out to the east to US 77.

00:18:56.700 --> 00:18:59.700
 That project is going to complete that road.

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:04.700
 It's going to widen it out to that full width, and there's also some parks trails that are

00:19:04.700 --> 00:19:10.700
 included in that project as well that will connect the new elementary school down to

00:19:10.700 --> 00:19:13.700
 North Lakes, and it will continue on down there.

00:19:13.700 --> 00:19:22.700
 So that project is currently slated to start in quarter one -- no, I'm sorry, quarter four

00:19:22.700 --> 00:19:24.700
 of 2024.

00:19:24.700 --> 00:19:26.700
 So it's currently under design right now.

00:19:26.700 --> 00:19:28.700
 We're almost at 30%.

00:19:28.700 --> 00:19:33.700
 That should be a pretty quick project to do, at least the roadway, and I'll get to kind

00:19:33.700 --> 00:19:35.700
 of some phasing here in a second.

00:19:35.700 --> 00:19:38.700
 And then the third project is the Westgate project.

00:19:38.700 --> 00:19:45.700
 So this is the one that will reconstruct North-South Westgate from Windsor up to Westgate.

00:19:45.700 --> 00:19:52.700
 It will also reconstruct the East-West Westgate, and it will connect East-West Westgate to

00:19:52.700 --> 00:19:53.700
 Bronco Way.

00:19:53.700 --> 00:20:00.700
 So this project will complete that North-South Westgate all the way up to Westgate -- East-West

00:20:00.700 --> 00:20:05.700
 Westgate connected to Bronco Way, and then we're going to work through renaming that

00:20:05.700 --> 00:20:12.700
 roadway to Bronco Way all the way from the frontage road to U.S. 77.

00:20:12.700 --> 00:20:13.700
 I have a question.

00:20:13.700 --> 00:20:15.700
 Sure, go ahead.

00:20:15.700 --> 00:20:17.700
 Very generic question.

00:20:17.700 --> 00:20:18.700
 Yeah.

00:20:18.700 --> 00:20:24.700
 When you all reconstruct a road like Riney Road and all of these roads that are no roads

00:20:24.700 --> 00:20:29.700
 and are becoming roads, how do you all determine the lighting?

00:20:29.700 --> 00:20:34.700
 I have a problem with lighting and trees.

00:20:34.700 --> 00:20:35.700
 Sure.

00:20:35.700 --> 00:20:40.700
 So we have started running photometric studies on all of our projects to determine what lighting

00:20:40.700 --> 00:20:43.700
 needs to happen, where it needs to go, all those types of things.

00:20:43.700 --> 00:20:48.700
 DME now has a new lighting standard that we design all our projects to.

00:20:48.700 --> 00:20:53.700
 So all these projects are going through that kind of -- including that complete streets

00:20:53.700 --> 00:20:58.700
 that we talk about a lot, is making sure that we are evaluating all the utilities, all the

00:20:58.700 --> 00:21:02.700
 pedestrian, all the roadway, lighting is included in that.

00:21:02.700 --> 00:21:06.700
 So those are one of the things that we're looking at as we design these projects and

00:21:06.700 --> 00:21:08.700
 adding into it if need be.

00:21:08.700 --> 00:21:10.700
 That's very helpful.

00:21:10.700 --> 00:21:17.700
 I think that one of my -- I guess I would call it a pet peeve that there is a lot of

00:21:17.700 --> 00:21:22.700
 lighting and then you drive down the roadway and then there's no lighting.

00:21:22.700 --> 00:21:23.700
 Right.

00:21:23.700 --> 00:21:26.700
 So hopefully this process that you all are going through --

00:21:26.700 --> 00:21:28.700
 Yes, ma'am, it's absolutely one of the things that we're considering.

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:32.700
 We don't want to put in a bunch of pedestrian walkway and then it's dark and no one wants

00:21:32.700 --> 00:21:35.700
 to use it because they're -- absolutely.

00:21:35.700 --> 00:21:39.700
 And then trees, we try to save trees wherever we can.

00:21:39.700 --> 00:21:43.700
 We design around trees if possible.

00:21:43.700 --> 00:21:46.700
 We don't like to tear out trees if we don't have to.

00:21:46.700 --> 00:21:49.700
 Trees like on a boulevard, should this be like a boulevard?

00:21:49.700 --> 00:21:54.700
 Because up here on this east side of Rainey that's in the blue?

00:21:54.700 --> 00:21:55.700
 Yes, ma'am.

00:21:55.700 --> 00:21:59.700
 I think there's like a little center line there.

00:21:59.700 --> 00:22:01.700
 If it's not, I'm in the wrong spot.

00:22:01.700 --> 00:22:04.700
 Yeah, it's a very narrow road, Rainey.

00:22:04.700 --> 00:22:09.700
 You know, broken space like Baby Bronco Way is very wide.

00:22:09.700 --> 00:22:12.700
 Sure, so we coordinate with our parks department.

00:22:12.700 --> 00:22:16.700
 Historically, parks has not been a part of those conversations.

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:20.700
 They kind of come in on the backside, on the back end of the projects and then start, you know,

00:22:20.700 --> 00:22:22.700
 do the landscaping, irrigation, those types of things.

00:22:22.700 --> 00:22:25.700
 We've started bringing them on the beginning of the project so that they can have --

00:22:25.700 --> 00:22:30.700
 they can start those conversations, include that in the project for us to complete while we're there.

00:22:30.700 --> 00:22:33.700
 It's cheaper, it's easier for us to do it while it's already there.

00:22:33.700 --> 00:22:38.700
 So we're bringing in our parks department and getting their feedback as a part of designing these projects.

00:22:38.700 --> 00:22:47.700
 Have you all ever done any kind of public input in regards to trees in the median?

00:22:47.700 --> 00:22:52.700
 So I would say not specific to trees if it comes up during those community meetings,

00:22:52.700 --> 00:22:55.700
 but that's absolutely a question we should be bringing up.

00:22:55.700 --> 00:23:00.700
 There's certain types of trees that work better in medians or work on the outside just because we don't want them to --

00:23:00.700 --> 00:23:01.700
 you know, we don't want them to grow out.

00:23:01.700 --> 00:23:05.700
 We want them to grow down because if you grow out, then you start breaking up concrete and those types of things.

00:23:05.700 --> 00:23:13.700
 So we work with parks department, our landscape, urban forestry -- I can't remember what its title is.

00:23:13.700 --> 00:23:14.700
 Haywood.

00:23:14.700 --> 00:23:21.700
 Yeah, I can't remember its title, but yeah, we have specific trees in our specifications that we allow in different areas.

00:23:21.700 --> 00:23:33.700
 And then the next question is, does all roadways that fits the criteria to possibly have trees,

00:23:33.700 --> 00:23:42.700
 will they have trees or is there a certain type of specification that they don't have trees?

00:23:42.700 --> 00:23:48.700
 Like I'm riding down the road, all the trees, then go down a little bit more, no trees.

00:23:48.700 --> 00:23:50.700
 How does that work?

00:23:50.700 --> 00:23:55.700
 Yeah, I'm not sure what the cutoff is for that, why we would have them or not have them.

00:23:55.700 --> 00:23:58.700
 So that's something I can look into and get back with you on.

00:23:58.700 --> 00:24:00.700
 I know we're adding them wherever we can.

00:24:00.700 --> 00:24:01.700
 Okay, we're adding them.

00:24:01.700 --> 00:24:04.700
 Yeah, but I'll definitely get you a more concrete answer on that.

00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:08.700
 Yeah, because I'm saying, okay, all the trees, no lighting.

00:24:08.700 --> 00:24:10.700
 No trees, all the lighting.

00:24:10.700 --> 00:24:12.700
 I don't know how that works.

00:24:12.700 --> 00:24:13.700
 Yes, ma'am.

00:24:13.700 --> 00:24:15.700
 Thank you for allowing me that answer.

00:24:15.700 --> 00:24:16.700
 Sure.

00:24:16.700 --> 00:24:26.700
 And then the last piece of Westgate will also widen Windsor from Westgate all the way to I-35, so this little piece down here.

00:24:26.700 --> 00:24:32.700
 That project is currently slated to start construction quarter four of 2024.

00:24:32.700 --> 00:24:37.700
 So if you've been tracking along with me, we're going to have all three of these projects under construction at the same time.

00:24:37.700 --> 00:24:47.700
 So we're already working through phasing of those projects to make sure that we're keeping traffic into and out of DISD,

00:24:47.700 --> 00:24:52.700
 looking at what we can do first, what can we do second, and kind of make sure that there's still traffic flowing in and out.

00:24:52.700 --> 00:24:58.700
 We've already started preliminary conversations with UNT and DCTA about their routes, those types of things.

00:24:58.700 --> 00:25:01.700
 I actually sat on a meeting yesterday with both of them.

00:25:01.700 --> 00:25:06.700
 So keeping those lines of communication open, making sure that we're coordinating with them.

00:25:06.700 --> 00:25:12.700
 And kind of pivoting as we need to to make sure we keep their services running as well.

00:25:12.700 --> 00:25:14.700
 I have another question about Ronnie Road.

00:25:14.700 --> 00:25:15.700
 Sure.

00:25:15.700 --> 00:25:24.700
 Did ISD and the new school coming up, what's the connection with that road and when they're going to finish their project?

00:25:24.700 --> 00:25:32.700
 So they actually delayed the building of their elementary school a year to allow us to get out there and try to get this done as fast as we can.

00:25:32.700 --> 00:25:38.700
 It was a CMO priority to move forward with the Ronnie Road East project that wasn't a project before.

00:25:38.700 --> 00:25:45.700
 But the little red piece that you see right here is being done as a part of Bonnie Gray Phase 6.

00:25:45.700 --> 00:25:50.700
 We have an interlocal agreement with the ISD and they paid for that piece.

00:25:50.700 --> 00:25:57.700
 But we didn't want to have a fully constructed roadway right in front of the elementary school.

00:25:57.700 --> 00:26:02.700
 And then this little piece that goes off to the off to the east just be that road narrow.

00:26:02.700 --> 00:26:07.700
 So we wanted to get out there and finish that project as quickly as we could.

00:26:07.700 --> 00:26:09.700
 Yes, sir. Yeah, the phasing.

00:26:09.700 --> 00:26:13.700
 I'm getting a lot of feedback from the community about that.

00:26:13.700 --> 00:26:18.700
 There there's a lot of not heartburn.

00:26:18.700 --> 00:26:28.700
 There's a little concern about the phasing here because there's no way to avoid for the northwest side of town, the high school, the new elementary school.

00:26:28.700 --> 00:26:32.700
 There's limited arterials in that region.

00:26:32.700 --> 00:26:43.700
 So they're still in the trusting phase, but they're nervous as heck right now because there's already traffic issues on Bonnie Gray and Windsor through that whole corridor and West Gate.

00:26:43.700 --> 00:26:53.700
 So there if we we we need to be really mindful of this because otherwise everyone's going to get it in their email.

00:26:53.700 --> 00:26:55.700
 Absolutely. We're very cognizant of that.

00:26:55.700 --> 00:26:58.700
 That's why we've started those conversations now.

00:26:58.700 --> 00:27:02.700
 We've got almost nine months until two of those projects kick off.

00:27:02.700 --> 00:27:11.700
 But I want to make sure that we've got a plan for that before we start having possibly three separate contractors all out there all doing their own thing.

00:27:11.700 --> 00:27:16.700
 And football games and drop off and projects and everything else for a functional.

00:27:16.700 --> 00:27:18.700
 Right. It's going to be a lot of coordination.

00:27:18.700 --> 00:27:19.700
 Valo Center, everything.

00:27:19.700 --> 00:27:30.700
 A lot of coordination, but we're up to the challenge and we're going to make sure that we're we're doing our due diligence and keeping that open as much as possible.

00:27:30.700 --> 00:27:31.700
 All right.

00:27:31.700 --> 00:27:33.700
 Hickory Creek phase three.

00:27:33.700 --> 00:27:35.700
 So not much of an update here.

00:27:35.700 --> 00:27:41.700
 Still working through the issue with the railroad, but planning on being back to construction first of the year.

00:27:41.700 --> 00:27:45.700
 And we don't anticipate that delaying the project.

00:27:45.700 --> 00:27:46.700
 Jamie Street.

00:27:46.700 --> 00:27:47.700
 So we did some research.

00:27:47.700 --> 00:27:53.700
 Jamie Street is actually included in neighborhood 5A, one of our 2019 bond projects.

00:27:53.700 --> 00:28:01.700
 So we're looking to begin construction in quarter one of next year with a tentative construction start in quarter two.

00:28:01.700 --> 00:28:06.700
 So I'm sorry, we're going to start design in quarter one of next year.

00:28:06.700 --> 00:28:09.700
 Start construction in quarter two of 2025.

00:28:09.700 --> 00:28:18.700
 And that'll be full street reconstruction along with utility replacement and sidewalk connectivity where we can.

00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:20.700
 McCain Street safety issues.

00:28:20.700 --> 00:28:25.700
 So the McCain sidewalks was approved as part of the 23-24 bond process.

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:28.700
 We have we've started design on that project.

00:28:28.700 --> 00:28:33.700
 It's going to complete the sidewalk connectivity from Woodrow to loop 288.

00:28:33.700 --> 00:28:39.700
 Depending on what the right of way we need to acquire is going to really drive the timeline there.

00:28:39.700 --> 00:28:43.700
 It's looking like we have a majority of the right of way we need on the south side.

00:28:43.700 --> 00:28:45.700
 So that's our plan right now.

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:48.700
 We're looking at making that connectivity on the south side.

00:28:48.700 --> 00:28:53.700
 We've also had some conversations with DME about putting in some temporary lighting out there.

00:28:53.700 --> 00:28:55.700
 That was one of the concerns raised last meeting.

00:28:55.700 --> 00:29:03.700
 So putting up some temporary lighting and then also folding in the permanent lighting into that sidewalk project as well if our funds allow it.

00:29:03.700 --> 00:29:07.700
 So that will already have the connectivity on the south side and then putting the permanent lighting.

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:15.700
 And then at some time in the future, we'll come back and do a full project to reconstruct bikini.

00:29:15.700 --> 00:29:18.700
 Does anybody have a question?

00:29:18.700 --> 00:29:26.700
 That's question educational question and I'll use McKinney Street as an example.

00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:32.700
 The majority the south side of McKinney Street between Woodrow and 288.

00:29:32.700 --> 00:29:38.700
 Those areas are developed for the most part, for the most part.

00:29:38.700 --> 00:29:43.700
 So this should be a kind of a no brainer type situation.

00:29:43.700 --> 00:29:51.700
 But then there is a certain section that is still not been sold or being used.

00:29:51.700 --> 00:29:53.700
 That's close to the park.

00:29:53.700 --> 00:30:15.700
 Yes. How does how does the city deal with or handle or resolve a situation where there is still land that hasn't been sold and not in a prospect of being sold right now.

00:30:15.700 --> 00:30:18.700
 And there is no sidewalk there.

00:30:18.700 --> 00:30:23.700
 How do we go about resolving something like sure. So that's kind of what I'm talking about is that right away acquisition.

00:30:23.700 --> 00:30:28.700
 So what will normally happen is through a development process, one of these buildings will come in as a part.

00:30:28.700 --> 00:30:33.700
 If we don't as a part of that construction, we require them to put in that sign right over there.

00:30:33.700 --> 00:30:37.700
 If we're ready to put in a sidewalk and no one has bought that partial yet or it's for sale,

00:30:37.700 --> 00:30:42.700
 then we will come in and buy the right of way that we need to put in the sidewalk and we'll make that connectivity.

00:30:42.700 --> 00:30:46.700
 So when I say depending on what right away we need, that's what I'm talking about.

00:30:46.700 --> 00:30:52.700
 We'll have to go and negotiate with those property owners and buy that piece of right away to install that sidewalk.

00:30:52.700 --> 00:30:55.700
 Okay. Yes, ma'am.

00:30:55.700 --> 00:31:05.700
 I'm going to bring this up in the matrix, but I have a question and exactly this for when when we do future items for the interchange of 380 and 288.

00:31:05.700 --> 00:31:10.700
 So I'm just sort of putting a pin in it now because I'm not sure it's for this agenda item.

00:31:10.700 --> 00:31:14.700
 But when we get to the right agenda item, I want to bring up this exact subject.

00:31:14.700 --> 00:31:16.700
 Perfect. Sounds good.

00:31:16.700 --> 00:31:20.700
 I'm going to hand it off to Korea to talk about signage.

00:31:20.700 --> 00:31:26.700
 Okay.

00:31:26.700 --> 00:31:28.700
 I bring this down a bit short.

00:31:28.700 --> 00:31:30.700
 Oh, yeah.

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:33.700
 Carina Maldonado, Transportation Planner with Transportation Services.

00:31:33.700 --> 00:31:37.700
 So this item is a follow up from our last meeting.

00:31:37.700 --> 00:31:42.700
 There was the presentation on bicycle etiquette for our facilities in the city of Denton.

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:52.700
 And the question came up regarding signage and where it's necessary when there's the allowance for bicycles to take up a full lane or have a share.

00:31:52.700 --> 00:31:54.700
 Oh, and maybe there's no signage there.

00:31:54.700 --> 00:32:06.700
 So staff did a little bit of that background research to make sure that if signage needed to be put up that we adequately did that and find out what regulating laws come into play.

00:32:06.700 --> 00:32:14.700
 So with this item, there's a couple of state requirements or state

00:32:14.700 --> 00:32:19.700
 legislation that that kind of speaks to what we would do.

00:32:19.700 --> 00:32:30.700
 So I provided that in the staff report and basically, you know, cyclists where they can take up the full lane, they would just go furthest to the right, whether they're signage or not.

00:32:30.700 --> 00:32:35.700
 The lack of signage would not determine the lack of a use of the facility.

00:32:35.700 --> 00:32:48.700
 And then something else that comes up in our Texas transportation code, I think, specific to limited access facilities and control facilities, which is, I think, particular to your question, Council Member Beck.

00:32:48.700 --> 00:33:04.700
 It would have to be by ordinance or by ordinance of the city or a resolution by the Texas Transportation Commission, limiting the ability of a cyclist to use those facilities, whether it be a frontage road off the or the actual use of that facility.

00:33:04.700 --> 00:33:12.700
 We know that it's dangerous, so we wouldn't really recommend a cyclist to use those facilities, but we can't really control their behavior at a certain point.

00:33:12.700 --> 00:33:28.700
 But for those instances, as for an example, if the city of Denton was to pass an ordinance specifically prohibiting the use of cyclists on Loop 288, for example, we would then have to go and put the signage ourselves.

00:33:28.700 --> 00:33:41.700
 Without the lack of signage by state law, they're allowed to use the facility as long as they use it correctly, which is to ride as far right as possible, unless there's a specific designation or separated facility.

00:33:41.700 --> 00:34:03.700
 So in general, you know, the signage wouldn't necessarily need to be up or not. However, we do proceed to use it just for wayfinding or education. We would just make sure that we follow the Texas manual on signage and I always forget the MUTCD, but we'll go ahead and find that.

00:34:03.700 --> 00:34:14.700
 We just dropped. Yes, they just the DOT just passed the 11th edition. So we'll see how Texas follows that.

00:34:14.700 --> 00:34:22.700
 So I don't know if there's any questions on this item, but generally staff just recommends evaluating on a case by case basis for signage for bicycle facilities.

00:34:22.700 --> 00:34:31.700
 And then just if we find additional educational information, we'll make sure to post that on our website or have that available.

00:34:31.700 --> 00:34:49.700
 Yes, sir. I think thank you for that cream I appreciate all that I think the if I remember the discussion last time that we're trying to get to improve safety more within our, our regular you know residential and arterials and collectors and things rather than

00:34:49.700 --> 00:35:02.700
 I mean I was using the example the highways as a, as a clear. This is bad idea to be anything but a car on a highway or a controlled access way. But,

00:35:02.700 --> 00:35:09.700
 although obviously they use them like when they they bike between Ray Roberts and Dallas they're going to take highways.

00:35:09.700 --> 00:35:24.700
 But I think the more issue is when there was conflicts because the issue came up with a like Parkway and Carol and some other places where there is ambiguity as to who who controlled the lane.

00:35:24.700 --> 00:35:40.700
 Like I think Carol and and see their oak or Parkway one of them, where they're sort of sort of a lane and sort of not a lane made it unclear like if a bike is going straight across an intersection the cars turning right.

00:35:40.700 --> 00:35:55.700
 You mean obviously the proper behaviors to yield to not kill people, but that it. I think we were more interested in what's the best practice signage in those cases.

00:35:55.700 --> 00:36:11.700
 I mean if you're, if staff feels like their comments address that then I'm good with letting letting it go but I feel like you, we will probably get feedback from the committee and from the community that there are pain points.

00:36:11.700 --> 00:36:18.700
 Yeah, we need to address, I'll say I didn't quite catch that specific request. It didn't quite come through.

00:36:18.700 --> 00:36:27.700
 But we can certainly look at that. As I mentioned, we do have to evaluate on a case by case basis for each facility.

00:36:27.700 --> 00:36:38.700
 The other thing we have to consider is sign clutter, because it would end up being counterintuitive to add additional signage in certain areas where maybe there's already five other signs.

00:36:38.700 --> 00:36:51.700
 So what we do need to look at is the context of those intersection the context of that facility, and then there's, there's multiple ways we could kind of come about with the way finding.

00:36:51.700 --> 00:37:00.700
 There's pavement markings we'd have to evaluate the maintenance cost of that and whether that's the right approach, or signage would be appropriate.

00:37:00.700 --> 00:37:09.700
 I think the other thing to consider is, we just mentioned this earlier is the adoption of the 11th edition of the MUT CD.

00:37:09.700 --> 00:37:26.700
 Prior to that the signage was not very, or the guidance on bike pit facilities I should say, was not up to date. And so that's what the city would have used for our city facilities on signage and pavement markings.

00:37:26.700 --> 00:37:36.700
 And so now with the new edition being out I think there's a little bit more options for us to consider on signage placement and type of appropriate signage.

00:37:36.700 --> 00:37:50.700
 So, we as staff and our traffic operations team would evaluate that. So if there's a specific area we need to look at and we mentioned Parkway in Oakland where it sort of transitions off, we'll look at that area and identify what the best signage is.

00:37:50.700 --> 00:37:59.700
 And then for other facilities, you know the community comes out and say there's a specific area that's not working for me we can evaluate that.

00:37:59.700 --> 00:38:03.700
 Question.

00:38:03.700 --> 00:38:26.700
 What part of the roadway construction process would the signage, or is the signage comes in after the project, and the you know it's put down and the houses are in and the, you know, the cars are coming, you know, like, like, like, like Bronco way.

00:38:26.700 --> 00:38:39.700
 Yeah, so I can speak to the development side of Trevor wants to speak on the capital project side but for development projects that come in. Typically the striping and the signage is reviewed during the civil engineering plans.

00:38:39.700 --> 00:38:45.700
 So they have to provide those plan sheets and provide them to us and we would evaluate based on those standards.

00:38:45.700 --> 00:38:59.700
 So, at least on the development review side that's when it would come in I would imagine that the capital project side it's just, again, during the design stage we would evaluate that, okay, so you're further up higher up into the process.

00:38:59.700 --> 00:39:01.700
 Thank you.

00:39:01.700 --> 00:39:03.700
 Anything else.

00:39:03.700 --> 00:39:08.700
 Anything else. I just want to confirm if we still want to follow up on.

00:39:08.700 --> 00:39:15.700
 We'll, we'll provide another update based on the specific these questions.

00:39:15.700 --> 00:39:23.700
 Thank you very much.

00:39:23.700 --> 00:39:35.700
 Well, we have the future items.

00:39:35.700 --> 00:39:43.700
 So we'll go through the future items for agenda. So by greater, the binary room update we'll keep that one on that's just a rolling update.

00:39:43.700 --> 00:39:46.700
 The right construction schedule map.

00:39:46.700 --> 00:39:54.700
 We would request to take that one off unless you want to just have a continual update on where we're at with those, those three projects.

00:39:54.700 --> 00:39:58.700
 I'm not sure we needed every month. Yeah.

00:39:58.700 --> 00:40:18.700
 The thing I was going to ask, and I made a note of is, and I went to look at discuss that and I see the map and there is like weekly street closure calendar but there's sort of, and correct me if I'm wrong, I didn't see a long term year long.

00:40:18.700 --> 00:40:29.700
 Two year long, three year long calendar to go along with the, the CIP map. So maybe we could have a calendar that just updated and have that discussed that.

00:40:29.700 --> 00:40:37.700
 So that we can reference the phasing specific to road closures or phasing or more of the capital projects and phasing because you already have the road closures.

00:40:37.700 --> 00:40:39.700
 Right. So that's weekly. That's nice.

00:40:39.700 --> 00:40:49.700
 But, but we, I can't look out into the future I'm like, oh in July, this road is going to be closed, even though I, you know that already.

00:40:49.700 --> 00:41:02.700
 Well I don't for those specifics so when a construction, when it's, when it's under construction we get a schedule from the contractor that says hey, within these two years, this is how we're going to structure our work.

00:41:02.700 --> 00:41:15.700
 And the problem with that is depending on all kinds of things they start moving things around. And we get those updates every month so our project team is reviewing those schedule updates, making sure that it makes sense making sure they're not doing things

00:41:15.700 --> 00:41:25.700
 we're not supposed to do, and all those types of things so I would be hesitant to post that because it changes so often. I don't want to be giving information that may change in the next week.

00:41:25.700 --> 00:41:32.700
 I think we can give an overall saying, well, I don't know. Let me think about that a little bit.

00:41:32.700 --> 00:41:39.700
 I would encourage us to do it anyway maybe with big bold letters that this may, this is subject to change.

00:41:39.700 --> 00:41:51.700
 Only, only because I think, you know, expectation management in my, in my career has been people digest changes better than surprises.

00:41:51.700 --> 00:42:03.700
 No, that makes sense. Yeah, let me let me think on that what's the best way to kind of present that and that we usually get that after we've been it out to construction so the contractor will come in on the C more projects that we're currently doing,

00:42:03.700 --> 00:42:16.700
 we get that a lot earlier so those will be a lot easier to kind of project out kind of where we're going to be within that project timeline but let me think on that a little bit I've got a note, and we'll see what's the best way to kind of present that information.

00:42:16.700 --> 00:42:22.700
 I'm thinking that since we talk on quarterly basis. Okay.

00:42:22.700 --> 00:42:35.700
 Then maybe you know, like a Janey Street, we don't need to continue to talk about that if we know, you know, I've already been given our, our notice that this quarter we're doing this on that quarter.

00:42:35.700 --> 00:42:50.700
 You know, just updating quarterly, you know, please consider that as well. Okay, and some maybe needed quarterly some maybe needed monthly I don't know. Okay, you all please make that determination but absolutely.

00:42:50.700 --> 00:42:55.700
 So, you know, things like Janey Street, you've already told us about that.

00:42:55.700 --> 00:42:59.700
 We've already got the McKinney Street.

00:42:59.700 --> 00:43:04.700
 And we know that we're still in the process of that will be a quarterly.

00:43:04.700 --> 00:43:18.700
 Yeah, and I'm looking at these and maybe it makes sense for kind of the construction projects to move those to quarterly instead of, you know, monthly because I've come and said the same thing, three times on Hickory Creek and Bonnie Bray so, and maybe.

00:43:18.700 --> 00:43:35.700
 So maybe move all the kind of construction one so 1234 and five to quarterly, and then also if there's any big updates we can bring those back and make sure we're, we're letting you know about them. Yeah, that looks like a lot of things there.

00:43:35.700 --> 00:43:46.700
 When they really are not right yeah it's a lot of the same updates. Unfortunately, we don't get a whole lot of changes from month to month.

00:43:46.700 --> 00:43:49.700
 Okay, so I think that takes care of one through five.

00:43:49.700 --> 00:44:01.700
 Number six, we will, I think we can remove that one but come back with a separate item specific to customer best question if you all are good with that.

00:44:01.700 --> 00:44:05.700
 downtown the city downtown parking study.

00:44:05.700 --> 00:44:10.700
 I think we have to bring that one back when when information is available.

00:44:10.700 --> 00:44:16.700
 The transportation service report that will start next month. Right. Yep.

00:44:16.700 --> 00:44:20.700
 Yes ma'am.

00:44:20.700 --> 00:44:28.700
 Mapping for sidewalk and bike corridor so we're going to bring that back once we complete GIS mapping layers.

00:44:28.700 --> 00:44:40.700
 Let me ask you something about that with them. So, you said once you complete the GIS mapping layers is will that that's an ongoing project right now. Yes ma'am.

00:44:40.700 --> 00:44:51.700
 And so, do you all think that you would be bringing that to us monthly or this that sounds like a monthly type thing.

00:44:51.700 --> 00:45:05.700
 I don't know what do you think. Sounds like it's, it's happening now. So they're working on completing the layers I think once we complete that then we'll come back and present that information maybe at that time we can determine how often you want to

00:45:05.700 --> 00:45:10.700
 get an update on that but I feel like it's a just a project that they're doing.

00:45:10.700 --> 00:45:22.700
 Yeah, just a one off. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I think we would come back and just say hey we've completed this is where it's at this is where it's looking this is where it's at where it looks like and then you do that quarterly.

00:45:22.700 --> 00:45:27.700
 It'll be an ongoing it'll be ongoing later so the layers will be there. Yes ma'am.

00:45:27.700 --> 00:45:33.700
 Yeah, it's just layers that they're adding on to the GIS map so interesting.

00:45:33.700 --> 00:45:41.700
 Alright, ITS update so we'll have another ITS update next month when I'm john's back in town.

00:45:41.700 --> 00:45:45.700
 And then the Ryan road update.

00:45:45.700 --> 00:45:50.700
 Y'all know what's going on with Ryan road so we'll, we've actually kicked off the construction on Ryan road again.

00:45:50.700 --> 00:45:57.700
 I mean, the design, but we won't go into construction till Hickory Creek three is almost done.

00:45:57.700 --> 00:46:05.700
 And I know customer back had something you want to add. Yes. Yeah, so it's a parking back to that item earlier.

00:46:05.700 --> 00:46:17.700
 I've talked with some of the, the owners of the properties, west of the southbound on ramp, the plant factory say joke memory center.

00:46:17.700 --> 00:46:23.700
 And then there's our DME staging field north of the shelter.

00:46:23.700 --> 00:46:33.700
 At 288 380. Okay. And it's my understanding that some of those owners have put monies into escrow for sidewalks.

00:46:33.700 --> 00:46:42.700
 And I understand that that's a text off facility going into a text that facility, which is the perfect storm of not getting anything done sorry text.

00:46:42.700 --> 00:46:54.700
 But can with what can we, what are our options for side path mobility.

00:46:54.700 --> 00:47:08.700
 Along that region, because there is extra demand for bike pad, because we have the shelter there unusual demand.

00:47:08.700 --> 00:47:27.700
 Because the people that utilize those services tend to not be car based. Right. And so, there is there is, again, an overlap of bike pad issues both safety of people walking along on ramps.

00:47:27.700 --> 00:47:48.700
 And this has been brought up in council before. And then in addition to that flow traffic because now there's a bunch of dirt destination pathing that, as we try to get to services that are creating problems because the, there's, there's no sanctioned pathway.

00:47:48.700 --> 00:48:06.700
 There's only filtering through people's private property, and that is causing some heartburn as we try to stitch all these services together, especially with monies being paid by the owners into an escrow cap for side paths.

00:48:06.700 --> 00:48:31.700
 Absolutely, I realize that's not our exact issue it's a text that issue but can we have updates on how the levers we can pull the pressure we can apply when how we can do this because these kinds of side pathing are our responsibility to do.

00:48:31.700 --> 00:48:47.700
 I think, but yet, we have to ask permission from text up because these are these right away is controlled by text. Absolutely so we do do sidewalks on text that right away I mean text that roadways all the time we've got one coming up on 38.

00:48:47.700 --> 00:49:00.700
 And we're also currently doing the one on loop 288 right near the shelter so let me check with text on that that specific corner to see where that money is, and what's going on with it they have plans.

00:49:00.700 --> 00:49:15.700
 One of the issues you just named or what drives the sidewalk PPI index that tells us what sidewalks coming next. So let me check on that corner specifically, and talk with text out and see where they're at what if they have plans coming up in the future if not maybe

00:49:15.700 --> 00:49:28.700
 that's something we need to start looking at making as connection pieces. I would love that and it's a small corollary and I'm not sure if it's the same item or, or can technically different item but the south of the shelter.

00:49:28.700 --> 00:49:42.700
 The new that new subdivision is putting in sidewalks but then there's a gap to the apartment complexes, we're going to connect it, you're going to connect it okay good because that connectivity is, it's the same problematic issues that I just described right.

00:49:42.700 --> 00:49:45.700
 Yeah, we've got it being designed right now.

00:49:45.700 --> 00:49:48.700
 Perfect.

00:49:48.700 --> 00:49:51.700
 I saw a gentleman the other day.

00:49:51.700 --> 00:50:01.700
 Two days ago I was on 288 South going towards 35, but between the shelter.

00:50:01.700 --> 00:50:25.700
 Between the, between this, well between Morris, sorry, or Audra, or I would even say 380 and more history.

00:50:25.700 --> 00:50:36.700
 That was trying to maneuver between more street and.

00:50:36.700 --> 00:50:40.700
 And I mean this down there is just no sidewalk.

00:50:40.700 --> 00:50:50.700
 But he was really really having a hard time. Okay, nearly to the point of me wanting to pull over and put them in my car and take him to taking him to where he needed to go.

00:50:50.700 --> 00:51:02.700
 So the, the need is immediate. Right. And so whatever that that takes. I'm sure you all are going to do your very best to, you know, make something happen.

00:51:02.700 --> 00:51:21.700
 I could have easily just fallen over. Right. So, you know, so it's, it's very real and somebody that doesn't have the mobility opportunity, you know we're just doing ourselves a disservice for not making sure all of us.

00:51:21.700 --> 00:51:36.700
 So just wanted to put that on the books there. Yes sir. Thank you chair. The other thing I wanted to bring up that the chair's comments were reminded me is some developers have talked to me about.

00:51:36.700 --> 00:51:55.700
 They don't know whether we have five foot side paths or 10 foot side paths. And, and I'm like, I'm that put me into doubt that I know what our requirements are, and I'm not sure this is an agenda item but if staff could get back in touch with me with the regulations.

00:51:55.700 --> 00:52:20.700
 Maybe share it here, share it to the whole committee. What the regulations are regarding side path with in various areas, I would, I would appreciate that I encouraged them to talk with staff as the experts on that item, but I told them I couldn't, I couldn't address that.

00:52:20.700 --> 00:52:26.700
 And if, you know, just just for my education I'd like to be aware.

00:52:26.700 --> 00:52:36.700
 You know, like, so I could say, pretty sure it's 10 but please go talk to staff, absolutely we can bring that back with the requirements are what we were what we require what the different sizes all those types of things.

00:52:36.700 --> 00:52:38.700
 Thank you. Yep, no problem.

00:52:38.700 --> 00:52:39.700
 Anything else.

00:52:39.700 --> 00:52:50.700
 Any roadways you want them to take a look at anything on your mind right now. My the big one was the 3280. Perfect. Thank you. Thank you very much.

00:52:50.700 --> 00:52:54.700
 Okay, so we're going to go on to concluding items.

00:52:54.700 --> 00:53:00.700
 Did you have any concluding items that you wanted to put out there for the people.

00:53:00.700 --> 00:53:05.700
 I don't have any additional items. Okay, I don't have any additional items either.

00:53:05.700 --> 00:53:09.700
 City, are we okay.

00:53:09.700 --> 00:53:16.700
 Alright, so I am going to conclude the meeting at 853.

00:53:16.700 --> 00:53:18.700
 Thank you.
