 TSC 20 - zero one seven receive report and hold a discussion and give staff

00:02:09.720 --> 00:02:13.080
 direction regarding the development of an ordinance allowing golf carts to

00:02:13.080 --> 00:02:21.440
 travel on city streets thank you mr. chairman Brian yawn city traffic

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:32.840
 engineer can you see the screen yes awesome so we're here today to talk

00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:38.880
 about golf carts and their place on city streets we've had a number of requests

00:02:38.880 --> 00:02:43.720
 over the past six actually started before Corona so probably close to a

00:02:43.720 --> 00:02:52.520
 year now requesting the city adopt an ordinance allowing the use of golf carts

00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:58.520
 on city streets primarily coming from the universities both universities like

00:02:58.520 --> 00:03:02.880
 to use the golf carts to maneuver around campus and most of the streets through

00:03:02.880 --> 00:03:09.840
 their campuses or city streets so it's generating the need so can a golf cart

00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:14.600
 use a city street yes the transportation code does allow limited use of golf

00:03:14.600 --> 00:03:20.320
 carts on city streets a golf cart and I can read this but basically if you're in

00:03:20.320 --> 00:03:25.520
 a master plan community on a golf course or on a public or private beach that's

00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:30.440
 one time you can use a golf cart on the street if you're honest if you're if

00:03:30.440 --> 00:03:38.480
 you're driving from your residence to a golf course that is less than two miles

00:03:38.480 --> 00:03:43.400
 from where your house or where the golf cart is normally placed and the roadway

00:03:43.400 --> 00:03:49.760
 is 35 miles an hour less you can by right use a golf cart on a and then the

00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:52.640
 third in which is kind of why we're here today is City Council made by

00:03:52.640 --> 00:03:58.880
 ordinance authorized golf cart use on city streets with some limitations and

00:03:58.880 --> 00:04:02.080
 we can talk about the limitations as you have that you know basically it has to

00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:07.080
 be a 35 mile an hour slower street so one of the stipulations is you have to

00:04:07.080 --> 00:04:11.360
 have a valid driver's license and liability insurance you have to add some

00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:15.520
 safety equipment that may or may not come as standard equipment on all golf

00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:21.200
 carts but there are stipulations that allow the golf cart to function more as

00:04:21.200 --> 00:04:25.480
 a vehicle than a golf cart because typically on a golf course you don't

00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:33.200
 need headlights and breaking lights and mirrors and so and then this is what

00:04:33.200 --> 00:04:37.560
 we're hearing again today well take it back this is a can we can we prohibit

00:04:37.560 --> 00:04:40.920
 golf carts so that's the complete hundred and eighty of what we're here

00:04:40.920 --> 00:04:44.400
 today for is can we by ordinance prohibit golf carts and the answer is

00:04:44.400 --> 00:04:51.160
 yes same same statutes that are listed in the transportation code so what would

00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:55.400
 be the advantages or disadvantages of allowing golf carts or using golf carts

00:04:55.400 --> 00:05:01.480
 on city streets versus a vehicle so one of the arguments from the golf cart user

00:05:01.480 --> 00:05:05.800
 is they're relatively inexpensive to own and operate so I'd rather than have it

00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:12.000
 by a vehicle if I wanted or something else if I wanted to drive say around

00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:18.000
 campus I'm UNT or MTW I can buy a fleet vehicle like a pickup or a sedan and I

00:05:18.000 --> 00:05:21.680
 can drive that up and down this you know the short trips that typically they make

00:05:21.680 --> 00:05:29.400
 or I can have a fleet of very small very efficient electric golf carts and they

00:05:29.400 --> 00:05:33.840
 have the range and the ability to do what I need to do with a lot less of a

00:05:33.840 --> 00:05:39.640
 footprint so golf carts do well for short trips much much better than a

00:05:39.640 --> 00:05:46.000
 vehicle easier to park environmentally friendly quiet if we're talking electric

00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:53.680
 more maneuverable typically than a normal vehicle and again the take up

00:05:53.680 --> 00:05:59.400
 less room in parking and again electric charging for a standard outlet the

00:05:59.400 --> 00:06:05.320
 disadvantages is the disadvantages are fairly limited travel speed so typically

00:06:05.320 --> 00:06:10.160
 an electric golf cart might top out around 25 miles an hour and again that

00:06:10.160 --> 00:06:13.000
 restricts the type of roads that we really want to put them on we don't want

00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:17.440
 them golf cart on University it just would not be appropriate they've got a

00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:23.200
 limited range for the charge versus a normal vehicle with a full tank of gas

00:06:23.200 --> 00:06:28.400
 even on a full charge they're gonna go 40 miles or less which means you have to

00:06:28.400 --> 00:06:34.360
 charge them more frequently again the low speeds have little the lower speed

00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:38.040
 vehicles have lower safety standards and passenger cars and this is what I was

00:06:38.040 --> 00:06:42.560
 talking about earlier most golf carts don't come with a lot of safety features

00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.280
 because they're not intended to be driven on a city street or operated as

00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:52.840
 a private vehicle on a roadway and then again they just lack general accepted

00:06:52.840 --> 00:06:56.880
 safety rating system so there's no crash tests they don't they don't have the

00:06:56.880 --> 00:07:02.840
 dummies and the crash test course established for golf carts or low speed

00:07:02.840 --> 00:07:10.560
 vehicle that's the other acronym that we'll use so why we're here today with

00:07:10.560 --> 00:07:14.880
 these things in mind and we can have a much more robust discussion when I'm

00:07:14.880 --> 00:07:18.960
 done but we want to determine if the city of Denton desires a golf cart

00:07:18.960 --> 00:07:25.080
 ordinance do we want to allow by right golf carts to use city streets with the

00:07:25.080 --> 00:07:29.360
 restrictions that we will place on using you know once we craft an ordinance we

00:07:29.360 --> 00:07:32.800
 can place whatever restrictions we want 35 mile an hour less to have to have a

00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:36.200
 driver's license I have to have liability insurance the carts themselves

00:07:36.200 --> 00:07:42.280
 have to have enhanced safety features seat belts we can craft whatever

00:07:42.280 --> 00:07:46.000
 stipulations we want there are plenty of places that have done this so we have a

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:51.600
 lot of go-bys so that's the first question is do we want to pursue golf

00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:55.800
 carts on city streets if the answer is yes we will proceed with the ordinance

00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:59.480
 development in fact I've already in doing some of the research I've already

00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:02.760
 started kind of putting together the elements that I think would be

00:08:02.760 --> 00:08:07.800
 appropriate we will bring those back to you in a future Commission meeting and

00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:13.680
 then once that is adopted or approved by this group we'll take that to council

00:08:13.680 --> 00:08:18.320
 for consideration as well so with that I'll open the floor I'll stop sharing my

00:08:18.320 --> 00:08:30.000
 screen and we can talk about golf carts and city streets it looks like most

00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:37.040
 people are muted so if you yeah if anyone has if anyone has a question they

00:08:37.040 --> 00:08:42.960
 may other counselors may go ahead are they are we looking at just around the

00:08:42.960 --> 00:08:50.960
 universities we can craft in our ordinance which streets would allow them

00:08:50.960 --> 00:08:57.080
 by right or we can craft which streets by characteristics so we it's really up

00:08:57.080 --> 00:09:07.240
 to us the two universities are the the the primary requesters of this so we

00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.220
 don't have a lot of private citizens that want to ride their their golf carts

00:09:11.220 --> 00:09:15.920
 or they've not requested that from us we primarily get the request from the

00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:20.000
 universities it's a lot easier for them to maneuver around campus in a golf cart

00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:26.520
 than it is in a standard vehicle or pickup so again which the streets that

00:09:26.520 --> 00:09:31.360
 we want them on would be up to the up to the council and again we can limit it by

00:09:31.360 --> 00:09:40.360
 name or by classification or both right I see them around TW quite a bit

00:09:40.360 --> 00:09:48.260
 accessing up Bell and I'm okay with that since it's 20 miles an hour so I would

00:09:48.260 --> 00:09:51.920
 say if we do this around the universities and the characteristics

00:09:51.920 --> 00:10:08.800
 should be named streets and speed limits like to add something to that I may so I

00:10:08.800 --> 00:10:14.720
 I'm an agreement I mean I like the idea that there's a restricted streets they

00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:18.680
 they can't go on streets that are more than 35 miles an hour and that to me

00:10:18.680 --> 00:10:24.680
 would simply be to protect them in case somebody got a golf cart that I work at

00:10:24.680 --> 00:10:30.520
 Texas Women's University sometimes students are use the golf carts I mean if

00:10:30.520 --> 00:10:36.600
 you got a student in a cart that didn't generally the TWA students are pretty

00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:42.500
 good but these ordinance would help keep them safe also I would think and I would

00:10:42.500 --> 00:10:47.880
 like to add that as somebody who rides a bicycle I mean I'm allowed to use all

00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:56.520
 the streets regardless of the speed on the street and you know I only need a

00:10:56.520 --> 00:11:00.440
 headlight and a tail light and I have brakes but I I don't have to have a

00:11:00.440 --> 00:11:07.680
 driver's license so to me I mean these are the you're actually asking a little

00:11:07.680 --> 00:11:13.480
 more I mean I I can't I can't always go over 25 miles an hour on my bike so I

00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:20.320
 think all these things are reasonable so I have to say so I would add that you

00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:25.120
 brought up a point that TWA does use the golf carts and one advantage of

00:11:25.120 --> 00:11:30.600
 allowing them on city streets right now they use the sidewalks which which to me

00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:34.720
 is more of a potential conflict with pedestrians than it is with other or as

00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:38.840
 much as it is with other vehicles I mean if you're if you're talking about low

00:11:38.840 --> 00:11:43.840
 speed facilities and and the golf carts can basically keep up with background

00:11:43.840 --> 00:11:49.320
 traffic that's that's less of a conflict than somebody who's walking at three to

00:11:49.320 --> 00:11:52.800
 five miles an hour and a golf cart that's moving at 20 miles an hour on the

00:11:52.800 --> 00:11:58.440
 same pathway I yeah I would agree yeah I mean I've actually you know use the golf

00:11:58.440 --> 00:12:03.800
 cart occasionally on campus and it is troublesome to ride behind people who are

00:12:03.800 --> 00:12:08.400
 walking I don't I don't want to run them over but at the same time you're trying

00:12:08.400 --> 00:12:12.640
 to get somewhere quickly that's why you have the golf cart so I think being able

00:12:12.640 --> 00:12:16.880
 to use the golf cart isn't it is nice

00:12:16.880 --> 00:12:27.400
 one piece of safety equipment that I would suggest is that reflective orange

00:12:27.400 --> 00:12:34.320
 triangle to be put on the back of them like you often see on tractors and in

00:12:34.320 --> 00:12:39.120
 Amish country on the back of buggies right

00:12:39.120 --> 00:12:57.040
 okay are there any other comments and if not do you so the agenda recommends that

00:12:57.040 --> 00:13:03.760
 we give staff direction is that does that mean we need a vote on this one or

00:13:03.760 --> 00:13:11.400
 is that just our verbal recommendations that we've art there it's not a vote

00:13:11.400 --> 00:13:16.480
 it's just do we have a consensus for the staff have a consensus of the board to

00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:21.400
 move forward on advancing the item I think right now I mean to certainly have

00:13:21.400 --> 00:13:27.400
 expressed support a consensus would be for so if you and mr. Baker would chime

00:13:27.400 --> 00:13:30.120
 in as well also I did get a message from Sarah

00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:35.920
 Fulwood that for the online commenting that there were no online comments

00:13:35.920 --> 00:13:42.360
 before the meeting and no callers just for the for the record thank you yes I

00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:49.960
 also support I support this measure so I think it's a good move Connie do you

00:13:49.960 --> 00:13:56.120
 have a comment of support or or not

00:13:57.120 --> 00:14:10.760
 you're muted Connie lower lower left hand there you go

00:14:10.760 --> 00:14:19.920
 I did do oh okay well on the on the golf carts I agree around the campuses but

00:14:19.920 --> 00:14:27.720
 not on city streets like you know there there a lot of traffic people of speeds

00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:34.960
 and stuff like yet I'd be more you know around the campuses not on city streets

00:14:34.960 --> 00:14:41.800
 not because they move too slow and like say it'd be a hazard to the vehicle so

00:14:41.800 --> 00:14:59.240
 but around campuses I think you would work great is this and in some of the

00:14:59.240 --> 00:15:03.880
 cases campus right correct me if I'm wrong but campus includes city streets

00:15:03.880 --> 00:15:10.000
 right so this like for example at TWU or UNT if we don't include city streets

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:13.840
 some city streets in this then that would preclude the golf carts from from

00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:17.880
 moving in pretty slow moving streets along the campus is that is that

00:15:17.880 --> 00:15:22.280
 correct yes sir about both universities have a

00:15:22.280 --> 00:15:27.920
 number of public city streets right so so would you still be opposed to that

00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:30.280
 Connie

00:15:38.920 --> 00:15:44.720
 can you hear me now okay well yeah the city there is city streets that run

00:15:44.720 --> 00:15:50.840
 through the campuses but most of those streets are 20 mile an hour not 30 most

00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:55.600
 of them are all 20 it goes through the campuses most of them most of them are

00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:03.680
 30 but they're on their outer edge so like I say that's that's the safety

00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:07.960
 reason with the vehicles is what I was talking about they don't move fast

00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:15.800
 enough and traffic so but like say most of them are 20 mile an hour in in the

00:16:15.800 --> 00:16:30.000
 in the schools so you're in favor of 20 miles per hour less is that your yes I

00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:37.080
 would around the campuses like say it'd be fine but like say 20 mile an hour is

00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:47.800
 what speed is around most both the universities okay so I'll just I'll stay

00:16:47.800 --> 00:16:52.380
 for the record I mean I trust if we move forward with this for the commission

00:16:52.380 --> 00:16:56.720
 identifies safe streets where this would be appropriate so I'm a little I'm

00:16:56.720 --> 00:17:00.400
 personally a little weary of putting too many limits on it because they may find

00:17:00.400 --> 00:17:05.840
 a street where it's 25 that's appropriate at near campus or in an

00:17:05.840 --> 00:17:11.520
 appropriate spot so I'm supportive of the measure in general so and we can put

00:17:11.520 --> 00:17:15.440
 for the record Connie has some reservations about speed limits in

00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:20.640
 certain city streets where would be a lot of does that do those comments allow

00:17:20.640 --> 00:17:30.800
 us to yes okay all right thank you everyone for the comments and I think

00:17:30.800 --> 00:17:38.480
 those will be really helpful so with that we can move on to item CTSC 20 - 0 1

00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:42.080
 8 receive a report for the discussion regarding the city of Denton's Americans

00:17:42.080 --> 00:17:59.480
 with disabilities 88 transition plan okay somehow I've frozen my screen I got

00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:18.440
 absolutely nothing okay I cannot minimize I can't see hold on you guys you

00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:28.260
 cannot see my screen correct nope I've lost my toolbar I don't know how I did

00:18:28.260 --> 00:18:35.240
 this but and my nothing works up here is does anyone else have a dude could

00:18:35.240 --> 00:18:45.480
 somebody else I could download the presentation do somebody else want you

00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:58.280
 want to pull up the presentation and then they can screw through and Brian I'm

00:18:58.280 --> 00:19:08.720
 downloading it I can you call it up making I got but I can't see it I got

00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:18.240
 you Brian okay I can do it all right technical difficulties there it is just

00:19:18.240 --> 00:19:27.960
 tell me when you want to go on this line and I'll make it up no that works we

00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:39.720
 have tech services in the room to try to help okay thank you think I'm in sharing

00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:48.720
 screen on our own somebody's share okay Daniel if you can stop sharing your

00:19:48.720 --> 00:20:04.400
 screen Brian has the presentation all right well now I know what now I don't

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:14.000
 let me go back to here no no we have to wait for Daniel to pop back in as well

00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:22.960
 okay there is yeah sorry I just connectivity issues my video off

00:20:22.960 --> 00:20:28.240
 shortly while I'm not talking all right let's try this again

00:20:36.800 --> 00:20:46.040
 can you see it yes awesome all right so this item is just an update of the ADA

00:20:46.040 --> 00:20:50.000
 transition plan that the city conducted several months ago completed several

00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:54.840
 months ago prior to Mark's departure I don't know that we have presented any of

00:20:54.840 --> 00:20:57.520
 this information to you so I wanted to bring it back just to show you where

00:20:57.520 --> 00:21:03.880
 some of the results of the study and our next steps moving forward so we

00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:09.080
 completed this plan late in 2019 basically what we what we accomplished

00:21:09.080 --> 00:21:15.160
 is through the use of a consultant is the identification of existing sidewalks

00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:21.880
 ramps crosswalks and traffic signals that are not in compliance with the

00:21:21.880 --> 00:21:29.880
 Americans with Disabilities Act and we also got a we've got a list of those

00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:35.400
 that fall short and a cost estimate to bring them into compliance so I'm just

00:21:35.400 --> 00:21:41.760
 going to go through a couple of examples this is curb ramps at traffic signals

00:21:41.760 --> 00:21:46.200
 you can look at the numbers that you evaluated they so the curb ramps lands

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:53.320
 in crosswalk which is a problem 684 were evaluated seven six hundred and seventy

00:21:53.320 --> 00:21:56.800
 eight are compliant pretty good compliance but when you get down to the

00:21:56.800 --> 00:22:01.840
 flare cross slope which is cross slope is always one of our biggest

00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:06.280
 considerations and concerns with with sidewalks and ramps we're only at fifty

00:22:06.280 --> 00:22:11.880
 five fifty six percent compliance so we've got some work to do at traffic

00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:16.200
 signals relative to grants a lot of these are older they predate the 88 act

00:22:16.200 --> 00:22:21.360
 but the requirements are that at some point we need to bring them into

00:22:21.360 --> 00:22:28.320
 compliance another one it signals the push button height and location again we

00:22:28.320 --> 00:22:32.440
 on some of the elements we're in really good compliance the orientation is

00:22:32.440 --> 00:22:38.020
 parallel to crossing ninety nine point one percent but when you get again to

00:22:38.020 --> 00:22:43.240
 the clear space and some of the requirements you may or may not be

00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:48.960
 familiar with but the push button needs to be in a particular location relative

00:22:48.960 --> 00:22:54.040
 to the curb ramp and the landing so some of these elements were you know

00:22:54.040 --> 00:22:58.040
 basically seventy one percent where we've got a seat so we've got some work

00:22:58.040 --> 00:23:03.800
 to do with push buttons as well they also looked at 740 miles of sidewalk

00:23:03.800 --> 00:23:09.360
 corridor and just really this is a fantastic asset management tool we now

00:23:09.360 --> 00:23:13.920
 know the condition and and some of the compliance elements of most of the

00:23:13.920 --> 00:23:18.920
 existing sidewalks in town so this table that you can't read which was your

00:23:18.920 --> 00:23:23.440
 we're not intended to necessarily but for every sidewalk segment every

00:23:23.440 --> 00:23:29.840
 corridor they prepared this analysis sheet they looked at different possible

00:23:29.840 --> 00:23:39.160
 problems the joints you know the surface the tripping hazards and they developed

00:23:39.160 --> 00:23:47.520
 a cost estimate for repairing those each of those items so as a summary we've

00:23:47.520 --> 00:23:55.000
 got set traffic signals again it's a number of different elements could be

00:23:55.000 --> 00:24:01.560
 curb ramps could be push buttons could be the pedestrian heads but we've got

00:24:01.560 --> 00:24:08.200
 several of them that are in great need like 31 are high priority out of our

00:24:08.200 --> 00:24:12.160
 hundred and twenty three total so and we've added signals since then but most

00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:16.560
 of the signals that we're constructing now are in full compliance as they're

00:24:16.560 --> 00:24:20.960
 constructed so we're we're meeting the the standards in the ADA with all new

00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:24.400
 construction so most of what we're seeing here that's not compliant is old

00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:27.920
 construction and some of it is very old construction some of the signals we have

00:24:27.920 --> 00:24:33.880
 in town are 30 34 years old so they certainly are not in compliance with the

00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:42.160
 act itself and then this is the sidewalk corridors look at as a as far as a

00:24:42.160 --> 00:24:49.040
 priority of repair or non-compliance 370 miles are in need of some kind of

00:24:49.040 --> 00:24:54.640
 adjustment and and with varying costs associated but so here's a here's a

00:24:54.640 --> 00:24:59.080
 summary of the compliance costs signalized intersections and if we just

00:24:59.080 --> 00:25:03.800
 look at let's just look at the total because even a low priority at some

00:25:03.800 --> 00:25:08.320
 point we're gonna have to address those but we've got four million almost five

00:25:08.320 --> 00:25:14.160
 million dollars in signal needs the sidewalks that are just in a corridor

00:25:14.160 --> 00:25:20.880
 so it's not necessarily associated with a signalized intersection just in

00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:27.480
 between blocks we've got 11 million dollars of need and then the curb ramps

00:25:27.480 --> 00:25:32.800
 is probably the biggest element that where we're non-compliant and again

00:25:32.800 --> 00:25:37.520
 that's primarily because a lot of them were put in quite some time ago and as

00:25:37.520 --> 00:25:43.800
 we as we reconstruct streets we we fix them but basically the consultant

00:25:43.800 --> 00:25:49.080
 identified over 18 million dollars of curb ramp needs for just to come into

00:25:49.080 --> 00:25:54.560
 compliance so a total of 34 million and these are all unfunded improvements

00:25:54.560 --> 00:26:00.200
 right now so our next steps are to develop a detailed project prioritization

00:26:00.200 --> 00:26:05.840
 so we've got the high medium low priority we need to identify projects and

00:26:05.840 --> 00:26:11.680
 put them into funding years basically put together a program for compliance

00:26:11.680 --> 00:26:17.720
 maybe looking five to ten years out and identifying those funding needs and then

00:26:17.720 --> 00:26:21.440
 we can once we know what we need the next five years in the next ten years

00:26:21.440 --> 00:26:25.080
 then we can start looking for those funding opportunities whether being

00:26:25.080 --> 00:26:31.440
 through bond elections or partnering with a an external agency like tech stop

00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:35.980
 or the North Central Texas Council of Governments so where that's where we are

00:26:35.980 --> 00:26:40.080
 we know what we've we know what we have or actually what we don't have we know

00:26:40.080 --> 00:26:44.160
 how much it's going to cost to fix it and our next steps and this was not part

00:26:44.160 --> 00:26:47.800
 of the scope of the contract with consultant is to put together an

00:26:47.800 --> 00:26:54.280
 implementation plan so that's right now staff is is working on identifying the

00:26:54.280 --> 00:26:59.680
 elements of our CIP that might satisfy some of these needs so we can pull that

00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:03.120
 out of the 34 million we don't want to double fund it and we don't want to do

00:27:03.120 --> 00:27:08.200
 it twice so as capital improvement projects are identified and funded and

00:27:08.200 --> 00:27:12.240
 go to construction if they include sidewalks or the ramps or the signal

00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.440
 rebuild we can take that out of this bigger list and what's left is what we

00:27:16.440 --> 00:27:23.320
 have to program over the next five ten fifteen years so with that that's the

00:27:23.320 --> 00:27:25.760
 end of my presentation I'll stop sharing and I will tell it we'll have a

00:27:25.760 --> 00:27:34.480
 discussion if you have questions I'll try and answer thank you Brian I have

00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:43.400
 two one question and one comment the question is will prioritization also

00:27:43.400 --> 00:27:51.880
 focus on higher you know higher use areas for example I think you all know

00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:56.200
 I've asked about a specific curb right here right by the square that prevents

00:27:56.200 --> 00:28:00.840
 people wheelchairs from accessing the square if they're coming on Hickory from

00:28:00.840 --> 00:28:06.400
 the Carol side and so I it would seem to me that that that's a high walking you

00:28:06.400 --> 00:28:12.800
 know high walking and wheelchair use area and so are we prioritizing based on

00:28:12.800 --> 00:28:18.480
 maybe density closeness to the core access to services like DCTA so I'm

00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:23.280
 curious about the what about the our prioritizing and my second comment is

00:28:23.280 --> 00:28:27.800
 just one that I brought up before I'm I would prefer instead of push buttons we

00:28:27.800 --> 00:28:31.240
 just have automatic walk signals everywhere and so I don't know if that's

00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:34.920
 something that can be considered but I think you know pedestrian shouldn't have

00:28:34.920 --> 00:28:38.760
 to ask permission to cross the street just like cars don't have to you know

00:28:38.760 --> 00:28:43.560
 push a button to get a green light so I think that that would be a better policy

00:28:43.560 --> 00:28:50.640
 and make her more walkable didn't everywhere that's safer for produce okay

00:28:50.640 --> 00:28:55.040
 so the first the first question is how are we going to prioritize and we have a

00:28:55.040 --> 00:28:58.040
 couple of options there is a prioritization system that was

00:28:58.040 --> 00:29:01.880
 established with the mobility plan update where we look at proximity to

00:29:01.880 --> 00:29:07.160
 schools large generators specific land use types that tend to generate

00:29:07.160 --> 00:29:16.680
 pedestrian traffic that certainly is one option we also have on our on our

00:29:16.680 --> 00:29:22.960
 website we have a more detailed prioritization methodology where we we

00:29:22.960 --> 00:29:26.760
 actually go out and collect data because another issue with specifically

00:29:26.760 --> 00:29:32.040
 pedestrian traffic and this is something that I've experienced in other cities is

00:29:32.040 --> 00:29:37.600
 if you've got a goat trail or cow path or whatever you want to call it and and

00:29:37.600 --> 00:29:41.440
 you can say you've got two and one is next to University Boulevard and one is

00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:49.920
 next to a residential collector then that high-speed high-volume roadway

00:29:49.920 --> 00:29:55.560
 introduces some risk factors that might not necessarily be grabbed by a

00:29:55.560 --> 00:30:01.800
 prioritization that looks at how many pedestrians are there and what's the

00:30:01.800 --> 00:30:05.600
 proximity to the different kind of land uses so we may want to fold in some

00:30:05.600 --> 00:30:10.320
 additional data take our mobility plan prioritization and fold in some some

00:30:10.320 --> 00:30:16.000
 adjacent street characteristic data and make a prioritization via that method so

00:30:16.000 --> 00:30:21.520
 we have some established pathways forward so we'll and we can we'll we can

00:30:21.520 --> 00:30:25.320
 talk about this in future meetings on how we want to know what are the right

00:30:25.320 --> 00:30:30.240
 criteria what the ranking if you want to use a point system so that if you're

00:30:30.240 --> 00:30:32.840
 next to a school if you're within a quarter mile of the school you get X

00:30:32.840 --> 00:30:40.760
 points if you're next to a large generator like heavy commercial a lot of

00:30:40.760 --> 00:30:44.280
 commercial a lot of retail or a park then you get X number of points and then

00:30:44.280 --> 00:30:48.880
 at the end of the day you add up all the points and that's a rank so then you can

00:30:48.880 --> 00:30:55.920
 that's one way relative to your your comment about the pedestrian detection

00:30:55.920 --> 00:31:01.320
 we are acquiring some hardware right now we're gonna put it on the on the square

00:31:01.320 --> 00:31:07.760
 not sure if you're aware but the council did decide to leave the the all-way

00:31:07.760 --> 00:31:14.600
 crossing in place it was previously no formerly known as all walk crosswalk so

00:31:14.600 --> 00:31:21.360
 in an effort to test some hardware we're gonna install one intersection with the

00:31:21.360 --> 00:31:27.760
 the passive detection and so we're gonna test it it adds some cost to the

00:31:27.760 --> 00:31:34.560
 installation but moving towards that not having to push a button approach so

00:31:34.560 --> 00:31:38.280
 there's two ways we can not push a button we can we can run the the

00:31:38.280 --> 00:31:42.720
 pedestrian concurrent with the signal so that when the signal comes green the

00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:47.780
 parallel pedestrian gets to walk the problem with that is most of our signals

00:31:47.780 --> 00:31:54.720
 are on there they're on a they're basically run free in the evenings and

00:31:54.720 --> 00:31:59.960
 off-peaks and so unless there's a vehicle to call up that associated

00:31:59.960 --> 00:32:05.120
 vehicular movement the pedestrian won't have the opportunity to get the call I

00:32:05.120 --> 00:32:08.640
 mean the walk signal unless they push a button so what we're trying to do is as

00:32:08.640 --> 00:32:15.040
 do like you said exactly the same way that a vehicle requests service it just

00:32:15.040 --> 00:32:20.420
 shows up and we have a camera or other device that detects its presence and

00:32:20.420 --> 00:32:29.800
 we're gonna try and do that same passive detection with pedestrians thank you I

00:32:29.800 --> 00:32:34.560
 appreciate that and to be clear my comment wasn't necessarily even I

00:32:34.560 --> 00:32:38.560
 appreciate I mean I think that's a compromise I would I would be in favor of

00:32:38.560 --> 00:32:43.200
 just automatic you know lights and we don't even need detection on any of

00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:47.640
 these but but I understand that we've already discussed this a lot so I just I

00:32:47.640 --> 00:32:51.360
 just wanted to kind of share that but yeah I would just to your your first

00:32:51.360 --> 00:32:56.000
 comment about prioritization I hope that the core would be prioritized right

00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.560
 again it's the most walkable area and it and although I've course like schools

00:32:59.560 --> 00:33:04.640
 are great addition to prioritization but when I say the core I generally mean UNT

00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:11.960
 TW DCTA and that kind of area that's the most the most walkable so I hope that

00:33:11.960 --> 00:33:16.240
 receives some because one broken sidewalk can you know we've already got

00:33:16.240 --> 00:33:20.040
 pretty decent sidewalks there but one broken one makes it inaccessible to

00:33:20.040 --> 00:33:23.200
 someone with a stroll wheelchair in particular but can make it more

00:33:23.200 --> 00:33:27.600
 difficult for strollers and things like that and so you know Hickory is about to

00:33:27.600 --> 00:33:31.760
 get redone a lot and hopefully the sidewalks and we'll get curb cuts and

00:33:31.760 --> 00:33:35.560
 spots where there's not there but anyway that's just that's just my comment

00:33:35.560 --> 00:34:00.320
 that's all I've got okay thank you any other comments from councilmember hey

00:34:00.320 --> 00:34:07.920
 with that one any oh yes I have one question on the funding if any of the

00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:17.320
 recent bonds funds would be applied to this particularly sidewalks yes I think

00:34:17.320 --> 00:34:27.680
 the the intent for the 2019 bond was to do gap infill and so you and I might

00:34:27.680 --> 00:34:32.040
 defer to Trey or maybe this is a discussion for another day for hitting

00:34:32.040 --> 00:34:38.280
 the fine points but a lot of times those capital dollars are not necessarily

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:43.280
 allowed to be used on what we considered maintenance so replacing or fixing a

00:34:43.280 --> 00:34:49.640
 broken sidewalk a trip hazard probably would not be considered eligible for bond

00:34:49.640 --> 00:34:53.600
 funding those are typically capital dollars but when you but if you do an

00:34:53.600 --> 00:34:58.840
 entire replacement program then I think we open up that eligibility a little bit

00:34:58.840 --> 00:35:03.440
 so the answer is yes and no not on small stuff but if we did an entire

00:35:03.440 --> 00:35:08.520
 programmatic we're gonna replace the you know two miles of sidewalk along X and Y

00:35:08.520 --> 00:35:11.880
 streets and I think we have the opportunity to use the bond funding and

00:35:11.880 --> 00:35:22.640
 I'll defer to Trey if he's got any further dad I do not okay so it just as

00:35:22.640 --> 00:35:27.740
 in a closing it it really depends on how we use them some I think we can make

00:35:27.740 --> 00:35:32.000
 them eligible but we have to be careful on making sure it's a capital project

00:35:32.000 --> 00:35:43.480
 not a maintenance project hey is there is there any other comments

00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:51.460
 I'm sorry one other thing I just thought of briefly I'll just I'll bring up is

00:35:51.460 --> 00:35:58.640
 that we've recently installed a new you know sidewalk and railing that's right

00:35:58.640 --> 00:36:03.880
 next to barley and board on the street and I will say I was a little

00:36:03.880 --> 00:36:10.840
 disappointed to look at the way that we're still getting I think a variety of

00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.640
 intersections of seeing where we instead of just having a flat area or having

00:36:15.640 --> 00:36:19.600
 access in all directions we have these like big concrete blocks we still are

00:36:19.600 --> 00:36:24.640
 not thinking about access across in that case there's no that was designed with

00:36:24.640 --> 00:36:28.960
 no crosswalk across the street which I think is increasing to the more highway

00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:34.520
 people on the square of cars and so I just hope that as we're adding new stuff

00:36:34.520 --> 00:36:39.040
 we're thinking about the most accessible means and not putting these weird large

00:36:39.040 --> 00:36:44.360
 concrete blocks unnecessary like I guess there's just a gear people directions

00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.240
 but if we just have those flat intersections those seem to be a lot

00:36:47.240 --> 00:36:52.480
 safer and then if we have had crosswalks I mean I think the intention where there

00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:56.440
 was was to deter people from crossing the street even though there's a cross

00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:00.760
 street right there behind Marley and board and direct them somewhere else

00:37:00.760 --> 00:37:05.440
 which is just not walkable it's not a way to design an urban area but so I

00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:10.120
 hope we can look at that because I still see like new stuff being designed not

00:37:10.120 --> 00:37:15.320
 using walkability in the core and so I just hope that that we can make the the

00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:19.240
 more walkable it is the more

00:37:19.240 --> 00:37:26.720
 okay

00:37:26.720 --> 00:37:40.560
 if there's not any further comments are there any further comments we are not

00:37:40.560 --> 00:37:45.320
 making any recommendations on this I read I don't think we need to even

00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:50.400
 necessarily give the staff directions so we can go and move on to our next item

00:37:50.400 --> 00:37:58.480
 our next item is item D TSC 20 - 019 staff update regarding the safe routes

00:37:58.480 --> 00:38:04.080
 to school bike scooter share programs and community input on mobility plan

00:38:04.080 --> 00:38:23.800
 okay sharing my screen okay can you see that okay so two items on our staff

00:38:23.800 --> 00:38:28.760
 report the first is safe route to school we have two active safe route to school

00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:35.680
 projects both are significantly funded through our partner groups of tex dot

00:38:35.680 --> 00:38:41.520
 and the cog the first is pecan Wilson and pecan Creek and Wilson elementaries

00:38:41.520 --> 00:38:47.840
 we've got about almost three-quarters of a mile a bit more of sidewalk post and

00:38:47.840 --> 00:38:54.440
 looking for we're moving into the design now hopefully a complete design by March

00:38:54.440 --> 00:39:00.080
 and then move into construction in 2021 and and with that amount of construction

00:39:00.080 --> 00:39:08.480
 probably six to eight months and possibly more it really depends on what

00:39:08.480 --> 00:39:11.840
 we find in the design phase but we're estimating that will be done sometime in

00:39:11.840 --> 00:39:19.000
 2022 and again a total cost our total funding right now is about five hundred

00:39:19.000 --> 00:39:24.720
 and fifty thousand dollars the second project is Jennings and Alexander formerly

00:39:24.720 --> 00:39:30.240
 known as Lee Elementary significantly longer stretches a sidewalk this is the

00:39:30.240 --> 00:39:39.920
 the Stewart Road sidewalk both sides from Sun Valley to Windsor that's been a

00:39:39.920 --> 00:39:47.760
 request for a long time now again a little bit very close to the same

00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:52.200
 timeline on that finishing up the design in July it's a little bit more to design

00:39:52.200 --> 00:39:55.000
 so it's probably going to take a little bit longer and then move into

00:39:55.000 --> 00:40:01.400
 construction and then again you're talking about a mile and a half plus on

00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:06.000
 can just sidewalk construction that's going to take some time and so we're

00:40:06.000 --> 00:40:11.400
 estimating end of end of 22 beginning of 23 for completion and about nine

00:40:11.400 --> 00:40:17.920
 hundred thousand nine sixty nine seventy thousand for total dollar cost there

00:40:17.920 --> 00:40:21.600
 but you can see that both of these between the just these two projects

00:40:21.600 --> 00:40:26.320
 we're leveraging 1.2 million dollars with our three hundred thousand dollar

00:40:26.320 --> 00:40:31.800
 match so we're doing a four to one and some of this money has been sitting idle

00:40:31.800 --> 00:40:35.880
 for a while and we're very anxious to get it under construction so we don't

00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:41.120
 lose it if if we wait long enough the cod will say well you didn't really need

00:40:41.120 --> 00:40:44.640
 that money we're going to give it to somebody who's ready to move so those

00:40:44.640 --> 00:40:48.200
 are our two active projects will be keep will be bringing you updates as we get

00:40:48.200 --> 00:40:53.200
 into design and construction for both of these safe route to school project we

00:40:53.200 --> 00:40:58.800
 did not receive any funding for this latest call the city of Dallas was

00:40:58.800 --> 00:41:02.720
 awarded all of the safe route to school money understand they have a great need

00:41:02.720 --> 00:41:05.760
 but we were a little bit disappointed we thought we had some good candidates and

00:41:05.760 --> 00:41:10.520
 we scored fairly well but not well enough to get money and the other one I

00:41:10.520 --> 00:41:13.760
 want to talk about is the bike scooter share program I don't know if you've

00:41:13.760 --> 00:41:18.560
 noticed but bail has left the building they have withdrawn from the Denton

00:41:18.560 --> 00:41:25.000
 market because of the inability to include a scooter element in their

00:41:25.000 --> 00:41:29.240
 program they no longer do bike only if they don't have a combined bike scooter

00:41:29.240 --> 00:41:37.280
 program they don't participate so they have left the the city and we were

00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:40.640
 originally they originally told us they would stay until the end of the year but

00:41:40.640 --> 00:41:47.120
 they have pulled out early and so we will be working with UNT and TWU and any

00:41:47.120 --> 00:41:54.240
 other partner to identify opportunities for our new vendor and the stipulations

00:41:54.240 --> 00:41:59.280
 and the conditions of that contract so stay tuned that will be coming back to

00:41:59.280 --> 00:42:10.040
 you soon and hopefully we'll have a new bike vendor early in 2021 and then the

00:42:10.040 --> 00:42:15.000
 last item is the community this is a virtual community meetings on the

00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.800
 mobility plan this is the last round of public input we are on meeting for

00:42:19.800 --> 00:42:24.680
 tonight we've had three we did the downtown the northern and the western

00:42:24.680 --> 00:42:29.760
 sections tonight is the eastern section and next week is the southern section so

00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:35.480
 basically these are virtual zoom webinar type meetings where we present the the

00:42:35.480 --> 00:42:41.080
 the plan as it sits sits now the draft plan and we're receiving feedback from

00:42:41.080 --> 00:42:47.240
 the community and folding that into the final plan which will be done probably

00:42:47.240 --> 00:42:54.000
 sometime in November and expectation is to move forward with adoption at the

00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:59.200
 earliest late this year but more likely in early 2021 just because we've got an

00:42:59.200 --> 00:43:04.320
 election in November and and I think the the sentiment is that we would rather

00:43:04.320 --> 00:43:08.640
 push that a couple months and give the new council opportunity to get

00:43:08.640 --> 00:43:14.920
 comfortable before we dump something as large and as important as the mobility

00:43:14.920 --> 00:43:20.680
 plan update on them so we're looking for again the final report from our

00:43:20.680 --> 00:43:25.480
 consultant probably in November and moving forward to council adoption

00:43:25.480 --> 00:43:32.720
 probably early 2021 any questions I'll stop sharing

00:43:32.720 --> 00:43:38.640
 it's been bright one one question what is the city's official position on

00:43:38.640 --> 00:43:42.160
 scooters for some reason I had thought that we had not actually adopted

00:43:42.160 --> 00:43:47.760
 importance on that what is the position I don't know that the city has stated

00:43:47.760 --> 00:43:54.180
 one I could be wrong but I know that UNT is opposed to allowing scooters on

00:43:54.180 --> 00:44:02.080
 campus so obviously that's a large share of the market from veos or any any ride

00:44:02.080 --> 00:44:08.520
 share providers standpoint if we can't capture the the college market then

00:44:08.520 --> 00:44:14.960
 we're missing part of our market totally but the other reason I think that

00:44:14.960 --> 00:44:19.120
 they're leaving is that they no longer do bike only so we we need to find a

00:44:19.120 --> 00:44:24.400
 vendor who does a bike only like be bike or or some other vendor and this gives

00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:27.520
 us the opportunity to look at the program and reevaluate do we want to do

00:44:27.520 --> 00:44:34.160
 doctor dockless do we want to do electric assist there it it may turn out

00:44:34.160 --> 00:44:38.760
 to be a benefit for us just because we get to reevaluate what we want in a

00:44:38.760 --> 00:44:45.720
 program and if and and it gives us the opportunity to discuss do we want have

00:44:45.720 --> 00:44:49.440
 the sentiments changed and do we want to allow scooters I don't think we're there

00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:53.920
 right now and in fact a lot of cities are pulling the scooters off the

00:44:53.920 --> 00:44:58.720
 streets and off the off the sidewalks just due to some safety concerns those

00:44:58.720 --> 00:45:05.840
 safety issues continue to exist and so they've got some seated scooters they've

00:45:05.840 --> 00:45:13.240
 got stand on scooters but the issue is do they belong on a sidewalk this goes

00:45:13.240 --> 00:45:18.160
 back to the very similar to the golf cart discussion is does a scooter that

00:45:18.160 --> 00:45:22.320
 can move at 10 to 15 miles an hour belong on a sidewalk with three to five

00:45:22.320 --> 00:45:27.040
 mile an hour pedestrians and do they belong on a 30 mile an hour or 35 mile

00:45:27.040 --> 00:45:33.480
 an hour city street it's just they're somewhere in between and it's it's a

00:45:33.480 --> 00:45:36.080
 difficult decision

00:45:36.080 --> 00:45:51.680
 okay I have a question if you're done with that okay I wasn't sure your

00:45:51.680 --> 00:45:55.760
 screens a little slow so I was trying to catch up so I do have a question about

00:45:55.760 --> 00:46:01.920
 the sidewalks that you're gonna put in over by the getting school is that on

00:46:01.920 --> 00:46:08.480
 both sides of Stewart yes only on one side both sides Wow so you're gonna take

00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:15.640
 are you gonna I'm curious because on one side because I I traveled that street

00:46:15.640 --> 00:46:21.880
 one side there's houses that back up with backyards do you is that I guess

00:46:21.880 --> 00:46:28.080
 part of that still city where the fences and I think you're speaking of the west

00:46:28.080 --> 00:46:35.600
 side yes yes so the fences and this is we will identify or we will confirm

00:46:35.600 --> 00:46:40.920
 that those fences that identify the backyard limitations that they are in

00:46:40.920 --> 00:46:46.520
 fact on the right away line even with that easement in place or that Parkway

00:46:46.520 --> 00:46:53.960
 distance available there's a lot of trees and a lot of utility poles so the

00:46:53.960 --> 00:46:57.960
 west side is going to be a challenge but we think that we've walked it twice with

00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:02.880
 the consultant and they think they can they can weave a sidewalk either between

00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:06.560
 the trees or we may have to move some utility poles but they think they can

00:47:06.560 --> 00:47:11.120
 get a sidewalk on the west side as well okay I was curious because yeah because

00:47:11.120 --> 00:47:16.840
 we sometimes all all right we'll ride that and and there is a bike bike lanes

00:47:16.840 --> 00:47:22.480
 on Stewart and I often see people walking in the bike lane so it's

00:47:22.480 --> 00:47:32.680
 definitely something that's needed this all right thank you I have one more

00:47:32.680 --> 00:47:38.080
 question if I can't since nobody's speaking so when you I wasn't able to

00:47:38.080 --> 00:47:44.040
 access one of the mobility mobility I can't talk they know the North mobility

00:47:44.040 --> 00:47:50.520
 plan are you do you go over everything because if I want to join tonight does

00:47:50.520 --> 00:47:55.800
 it's just on it's just the east side today right you'll or do you kind of go

00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:01.440
 over everything we we really focus on the geographic area but we we

00:48:01.440 --> 00:48:07.280
 structured these so that if if somebody could not attend the meeting session

00:48:07.280 --> 00:48:10.760
 that they were really interested in we can go back and answer questions

00:48:10.760 --> 00:48:16.520
 relative to that I will say that the and I think we're current the the

00:48:16.520 --> 00:48:20.840
 presentations are on the website and the question and answer also on the

00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:23.680
 website so you can see you can see the questions that were answered and the

00:48:23.680 --> 00:48:28.240
 responses that were given and you may want to do that it may answer you they

00:48:28.240 --> 00:48:31.680
 make somebody may have asked a question that you're gonna ask or you can show up

00:48:31.680 --> 00:48:37.160
 to any of the meetings and ask a specific question about another part of

00:48:37.160 --> 00:48:42.240
 town I think trade I believe we tried to craft the the captions so that it was a

00:48:42.240 --> 00:48:50.360
 focus on but not limited to a specific geographic area we don't we don't and we

00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:55.680
 talk about the general planning steps that were taken but we don't look at

00:48:55.680 --> 00:48:59.440
 the entire plan at any one of these meetings that would it would just be yeah

00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:04.360
 crazy yeah I mean I did look at the North part of the 10 when I realized I

00:49:04.360 --> 00:49:09.200
 couldn't get in like it was very last minute on my end so I understand what

00:49:09.200 --> 00:49:13.680
 somebody wasn't able to let me in in time but and I did look at like all the

00:49:13.680 --> 00:49:16.840
 comments not all of them there's a lot of comments but I looked at several

00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:21.160
 comments of specific spaces that I and it seemed like a lot of people have

00:49:21.160 --> 00:49:28.480
 contributed to you know to those maps we've had good turnout very good that's

00:49:28.480 --> 00:49:38.400
 the Western was probably the lightest but it's also probably the less the

00:49:38.400 --> 00:49:43.760
 least amount of changes happening over there okay alright thank you that's all

00:49:43.760 --> 00:49:56.640
 yeah did we lose our I think we did no I'm here sorry just connection problems

00:49:56.640 --> 00:50:07.880
 I'm just yeah meeting the video is there any other comment okay without any other

00:50:07.880 --> 00:50:14.440
 comments that is our last item and so this I think we can go ahead and adjourn

00:50:14.440 --> 00:50:20.880
 this meeting thank you very much thank you for your time thank you all
