DISCUSSION REGARDING THE CITY OF DENTON TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY STATUS REPORT, PLEASE.

GOOD MORNING. ALWAYS NICE TO HAVE YOU WITH US. >> I GET A LOT OF SKILL SETS, BUT COMPUTERS AREN'T ONE OF THEM. OKAY, SO WE DO HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS. WE'RE GOING TO GET RIGHT INTO THAT INFORMATION FAIRLY QUICKLY AS WE AS YOU KNOW, THESE ARE THE PROJECTS THAT WE'RE WORKING ON AND THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS WE'RE CHASING. SO NOT A SMALL AMOUNT. 35 NORTH WE HAVE A PROJECT THAT'S THEY INCLUDED ADDITIONAL MONEY IN THE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN THAT IS BEING VOTED ON TODAY. WILL BE MORE NEWS ON THAT IN A MOMENT. SO EACH OF THESE PROJECTS HAVE THEIR OWN LIFE CYCLE DEPENDING UPON THEIR UTILITIES. AND THAT DATES THAT WE ANTICIPATE ARE EITHER THIS MONTH OR ALL THE WAY OUT TO JUNE OF 2027. BUT THAT'S ABOUT A NINE MONTH PERIOD. AND IN TEXTILE TIMES, THAT'S ABOUT 15 MINUTES. SO.

>> LIKE DOG MINUTES. >> YEAH. DOG YEARS, PEOPLE YEARS, HIGHWAY YEARS. SO THIS IS JUST TELLING YOU WHERE WE ARE ON ALL THE UTILITIES WANT TO GET TO 35 W HERE IN A SECOND.

THIS IS A BREAKOUT VIEW ROAD. THIS IS AN ACTUAL PROJECT THAT WAS LET IN AUGUST. AND IT'S THAT SECTION JUST NORTH OF SANGER. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO GAMBLE, IT'S GOING TO BE

[00:05:05]

DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH THERE FOR A WHILE. AND THAT JUST TELLS YOU WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

THE MERGE, YOU KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE MERGE. WE HAVE HAD SOME SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC CHANGES AND WE CONTINUE TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC CHANGES. THE DIRECT THE GREAT BRAIDED RAMP THAT I KEPT TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO EVERYBODY WHAT THE BRAIDED RAMP WAS, IS NOW OPEN. I'M NOT SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, IT GETS YOU TO 380 STILL AND THERE'S STILL PROBLEMS THERE. BUT THIS PROJECT WILL BE GOING ON TILL 2030. AND RIGHT NOW THEY HAVE NIGHTLY LANE CLOSURES. SO IT'S WORSE TO BE THERE AT NIGHT THAN IT IS DURING THE DAY BECAUSE YOU GET LITERALLY STOPPED. MAYHILL. YEAH. SO YOU CAN SEE THAT WE'VE GOT THE BRAIDED RAMP THAT'S BEING BUILT JUST NORTH OF BRINKER BETWEEN BRINKER AND 288. THAT'S SO THAT THE TRAFFIC THAT GOES FROM EXITING NORTH OF MAYHILL TO BRINKER, IF THEY GO TO THE LIGHT, THEN WHEN THEY GO CONTINUE NORTH, THEY DON'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. 288 THEY'LL BE AFRAID TO GET THEM UP AND ONTO THE FREEWAY. AND THE TRAFFIC THAT WANTS TO GO FROM MAYHILL TO THE FREEWAY WILL BYPASS BRINKER ON A BRIDGE THAT'S ATTACHED TO THE EXISTING STRUCTURE, AND YOU'LL BE ABLE TO ENTER THE FREEWAY. SO YOU'LL START TO SEE MORE AND MORE STRUCTURES COME ONLINE. THE.

THE THING TO LOOK AT ON THIS REPORT EACH TIME IS PLANS FOR CHANGES IN TRAFFIC PATTERNS.

AND SO THE FULL CLOSURE. STARTED, I GUESS WHAT YESTERDAY. AND THAT'S GOING TO BE CLOSED TILL OCTOBER. SO IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO GET BUCKY'S NUGGETS, YOU'LL HAVE TO MAKE THE U-TURNS FOR A WHILE. NOW THE GOOD NEWS TODAY THE HIGHWAY COMMISSION IS MEETING ITEM SEVEN. ON THE AGENDA IS THE ADOPTION OF THE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN, AND THAT UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN INCLUDES FUNDING FOR ALL OF THESE SECTIONS OF 35 W FROM ALLRED, NORTH OF ALLRED, ALLRED.

ROBESON RANCH, OLD DENTON, 407 DENTON CREEK, AND 1171 IN THE FRONTAGE ROADS. IN BETWEEN ALL OF THOSE AND THEN SOUTH OF 1171. SO IT'S WHEN IT'S IT'S ACTUALLY THIS NUMBER HAS BEEN UPDATED.

IT'S MORE LIKE 550 MILLION INSTEAD OF THE 492. BUT THAT'S JUST GOTTEN UPDATED ABOUT TWO WEEKS AGO. BUT THAT'S 552 IS IN THE UNIFIED TRANSPORTATION PLAN. SO IN ABOUT 30 MINUTES OR SO, WHEN THEY APPROVE THE UTP, THEY DIDN'T GET ANY COMMENTS RELATED TO THIS ITEM. SO THEY'LL ADOPT IT. THE JUDGE IS DOWN THERE THANKING THE COMMISSION RIGHT NOW. SO WE'LL HAVE THIS FUNDED.

AND THE NEXT THING, WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO ON YOUR REPORT IS TAKE THIS ONE PROJECT SHEET, AND WE'RE GOING TO BREAK IT OUT INTO ALLRED, DENTON CREEK, I MEAN OLD DENTON. 407, ALL OF THE ALL THE INTERCHANGES, AND THEY'LL BE STANDALONE PROJECTS. AND WHAT HAPPENS AS SOON AS THE UTP IS APPROVED IS THEY WILL LET ANY PART OF THIS SECTION OF ROAD THAT GETS THROUGH THE UTILITY RELOCATIONS THAT WILL START REPORTING TO YOU LIKE WE'RE DOING ON THE OTHER PROJECTS FIRST. SO NOW THE BLUE SECTION IS AHEAD OF THE RED SECTION BECAUSE THEY'VE BEEN WORKING ON THE UTILITIES LONGER ON THAT ONE, BECAUSE THEY HAD FUNDING FOR IT FOR A LONGER TIME. BUT ANY SECTION THAT HAS UTILITIES THAT WE CAN GET RELOCATED, THE COMMISSION HAS SAID THEY WILL MOVE THAT PROJECT TO WHATEVER DATE WE CAN HIT. SO EVEN THOUGH IT'S IN YEAR FOUR, THE TEN YEAR PLAN, IT'S IN YEAR FOUR, THE TEN YEAR PLAN, BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T TOLD THEM WHEN WE THINK THE UTILITIES WILL BE RELOCATED, AS SOON AS WE GET THE UTILITIES, THEY THEY'LL MOVE IT TO THE RIGHT. LET DATE. SO 500 MILLION ISH PLUS OR -50 MILLION AND

WE'RE OFF TO THE RACES. >> GO AHEAD. YES, MA'AM. >> IS THE BREAKING.

>> IT UP JUST BECAUSE OF. WE KNOW THAT SOME UTILITY RELOCATIONS WILL BE DONE BEFORE OTHERS. OR ARE THERE OTHER REASONS FOR BREAKING THIS UP INTO MULTIPLE.

>> WELL, IT'S EASIER TO GET BETTER BIDS ON SMALLER PROJECTS, AND THERE'S NO REASON IF, SAY, ROBESON RANCH INTERCHANGE HAS ITS OWN UTILITY, IF IT'S READY TO GO BECAUSE THE UTILITIES ARE DONE, THERE'S NO REASON TO WAIT ON 1171 OR ALLRED. SO THERE'S A VALUE TO LOWER BID COSTS, AND

THERE'S NO REASON TO WAIT IF YOU'VE GOT THE PROJECT READY. >> SURE. SO IT'S LIKE A MIX OF

[00:10:04]

SEQUENCING AND VALUE OF BIDS SORT OF, OR HAVING WE WOULD HAVE MORE BIDS IF IT'S SMALLER

PROJECTS. >> YES. YOU ALWAYS HAVE MORE BIDS. IF IT'S A SMALLER PROJECT, THE THE MERGE PROJECT WOULD JUST WENT OVER IS A CLASSIC EXAMPLE. IT WAS A $500 MILLION

JOB. WE GOT TWO BIDDERS. YEAH. >> ALL RIGHT. >> THANK YOU. AND WE GOT HOSED ON THAT PROJECT. I DON'T KNOW IF I'M ALLOWED TO SAY THAT. ANY OTHER.

>> QUESTIONS SO FAR? >> OH SORRY. >> IS THIS IS THIS AN UNUSUALLY

LONG PROJECT? >> IT'S NOT THE LONGEST I'VE DONE. THE LONGEST I'VE DONE WAS FROM 330 TO 635 IN DALLAS ON THE 35 JOB, SO THAT WHEN IT WAS GOING, THAT WAS A 30 MILE LONG PROJECT. AND THAT WAS THAT WAS THE LONGEST PROJECT IN AN URBANIZED AREA IN THE COUNTRY

AT THE TIME. WOW. SO THIS IS PRETTY STANDARD. >> FIVE MILES.

>> OH, NO. WHAT THIS? FIVE MONTHS? WHAT. >> FIVE MILES?

>> OH, I DON'T. >> KNOW, FIVE MILES? IT'S NOT MONTHS.

>> IT'S ABOUT THAT FAR ON THE MAP. I CAN GET YOU THE. I CAN GET YOU THE LIMIT.

>> THAT'S OKAY. I JUST. >> WANTED YOU FIGURE FROM COUNTY LINE TO DENTON IS 15 MILES, SO IT'S PROBABLY EIGHT, TEN MILES. OKAY. RIGHT. ROUGHLY. BUT NO, IT'S NOT. AND IT'LL BE CONSTITUENT INDIVIDUAL PIECES ANYWAY, SO IT WON'T ABOUT THE TIME YOU GET RELIEF ON ONE PART, WE'RE GOING TO BREAK ANOTHER PART. SO IT'LL BE TRAUMATIC FOR A WHILE. 288 WE ARE NOW WORKING WITH TXDOT. THE COUNTY IS TO LOOK AT MAYBE FINDING THE NORTHERN OR SOUTHERN PART OF THE 288 SECTION, WHERE WE'RE STILL SHORT PARCELS, AND SEE IF THE COUNTY CAN DONATE FUNDS TO THE STATE TO IN ORDER TO ACQUIRE THE RIGHT OF WAY. SO ONCE, BECAUSE THIS NEW LOCATION, IF WE CAN GET THE RIGHT OF WAY, THE PROJECT ESSENTIALLY BECOMES READY TO LET BECAUSE THERE'S NOT ANY UTILITIES TO RELOCATE. SO WE'RE LOOKING TO SEE IF WE CAN'T BITE OFF A CHUNK OF THIS ROAD BY BUYING WHATEVER THE REMAINING PARCELS ARE, BECAUSE THERE'S ONLY A THERE'S WHAT, 20 PARCELS TO BE ACQUIRED. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT GETTING INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY BUSINESS ON SOME OF OUR STATE ROADS, BECAUSE THAT'S THE HOLDUP FOR TEXAS TECH SITE WENT FROM IN 2022 ISH, BECAUSE IT OVERLAPS BECAUSE THEIR YEARS OVERLAP, FISCAL YEARS OVERLAP THE YEARS FROM THEY HAD A BUDGET OF 400 MILLION, BUT ALL THE OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE WERE NOT DOING A VERY GOOD JOB OF ACQUIRING RIGHT OF WAY. SO THE DALLAS DISTRICT ALWAYS EXCEEDED THEIR BUDGET. SO IN 22, THEY BOUGHT $800 MILLION WORTH OF RIGHT OF WAY. SO WHEN WE GOT THEM READY TO ENVIRONMENTALLY CLEARED, THEY WENT STRAIGHT INTO BUYING RIGHT OF WAY FOR US ON ALL OF OUR PROJECTS BECAUSE WE GET THE RIGHT OF WAY AND UTILITIES DONE, THEN WE'RE READY TO LET. AND THEN WE WERE. THAT'S HOW WE WERE ABLE TO GET MORE PROJECTS FUNDED IN THE NORTH TEXAS AREA THAN OTHER PEOPLE, BECAUSE WE WOULD JUST GO AHEAD AND GET THEM READY, NOT KNOWING WHERE THE MONEY FOR CONSTRUCTION WAS COMING IN 2022, THREE ISH SPLITS OVER THE YEARS, IT WENT DOWN TO 500 MILLION. AND IN 2024 ISH, THEY WERE TOLD THEY HAD 330 MILLION, BUT THEY HAD TO HOLD BACK 10%. SO IT WAS LIKE 320 THAT THEY HAD. AND THEN THIS PARTICULAR THIS YEAR, THEIR BUDGET IS 195. SO THEY DON'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY THE RIGHT OF WAY FOR THE PROJECTS THEY HAVE FUNDED IN THE FOUR YEAR WINDOW. SO DENTON COUNTY AND OTHER COUNTIES WERE GETTING INTO THE RIGHT OF WAY BUSINESS, GIVING THEM THE MONEY, BECAUSE WE WERE GOING TO GO INTO DESIGN ON A LOT OF THESE PROJECTS. AND THERE'S NO REASON TO GO INTO DESIGN IF YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE TO GET IT READY TO LET BY GETTING THE RIGHT OF WAY AND UTILITIES RELOCATED. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE DOING A PIVOT TO A. QUOTE, ROSS GELLER PIVOT. GOOD.

>> SORRY. YEAH, YEAH. >> UNCULTURED. OKAY. LUKE 288 EAST AND 380 CONNECTOR. IT'S ACTUALLY THE NORTH SECTION. I'M GONNA HAVE THEM CHANGE THAT. WE CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT. WE ARE TECH SIDE HAS ASKED US TO COME BACK AND LOOK AT SHORTENING SOME OF OUR RAMP CONFIGURATIONS, MINIMIZING THE IMPACT TO THE MAIN LANES SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE DISCRETE PIECES OF FRONTAGE ROADS THEY CAN BUILD WITHOUT HAVING TO REALLY IMPACT A LOT OF THE EXISTING FACILITY. SO WE GAVE THEM AN ULTIMATE DESIGN. THEY LIKE IT, BUT THEY WANT US TO COME IN AND BREAK UP INTERIM CHUNKS SO THAT BECAUSE IT'S A BIG PROJECT AND THEY WANT TO BE ABLE TO START PUTTING FRONTAGE ROADS IN BASICALLY FROM ABOUT SHERMAN DRIVE EAST IS THEIR FIRST PREFERENCE, AND THEN THE SECOND ONE BE FROM LOCUST TO SHERMAN, AND THE LAST WILL BE

[00:15:05]

FROM LOCUST OVER TO BONNIE BRAE. SO WE'RE THE COUNTY IS COVERING THE COST, SO WE'RE BACKING UP, GIVING THEM BREAKOUT PACKETS SO THAT THEY CAN TAKE THOSE BREAKOUT PACKETS AND TRY TO GET

THEM FUNDED. >> JOHN, IS THIS ELEVATED? >> IT'S IT'S ELEVATED AT THE CROSS STREETS. THE DIRECT CONNECT FROM 380 UP AND OVER TO 288 IS. BUT ALL WE'RE DOING RIGHT NOW IN THE INTERIM IS GOING TO BE PUTTING FRONTAGE ROADS ON WHERE WE CAN. SO IT WILL BE GRADE SEPARATED AT THE MAIN CROSS STREETS, BECAUSE RIGHT NOW YOU CAN'T ACCESS 288 IF YOU DON'T ACCESS IT FROM A MAJOR STREET. KING ROAD, SHERMAN LOCUST, BONNIE BRAE. SO WE'RE GOING TO PUT INTERCHANGES WHERE THERE AREN'T ANY ON THOSE CURRENT CROSS STREETS. WE'RE MOVING KING ROAD OVER TO WINDSOR BECAUSE IT'S A BETTER ACCESS POINT. AND SO THE KING ROAD PEOPLE WILL GO INSTEAD OF IF THEY WANT TO GO NORTH, THEY'LL GO ABOUT A QUARTER OF A MILE, MAKE A U-TURN AND COME BACK NORTH. THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO CROSS BECAUSE WE'RE PUTTING THAT INTERCHANGE AT WINDSOR, BECAUSE KING ROAD CROSSED AT THE DIAGONAL AT A SKEW AND WINDSOR, WE WERE ABLE TO GET IT ON THE 90S. SO EVERYWHERE THAT THERE IS A MAJOR CROSS STREET, WE ARE GOING TO GRADE SEPARATE, AND THOSE THAT AREN'T GRADE SEPARATED WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CROSS OVER. THEY'LL HAVE TO COME TO THE NEXT CROSS STREET AND COME BACK TO ACT LIKE A FREEWAY. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO. 380 ULTIMATELY IS A FREEWAY. 288 SHOULD BE WE'VE BEEN PLANNING IT TO HAVE FRONTAGE ROADS FOR YEARS NOW. WE'RE GETTING TO IT, AND THEN WE'RE THE 288 SECTION FROM 35 AROUND TO 35 W THAT'S A FREEWAY SECTION WITH DIRECT CONNECTIONS AT 35 AND 35 W, AND THEN 380 OUT TO THE WEST IS PROBABLY GOING TO STAY A RURAL FREEWAY FOR QUITE SOME TIME. BUT THERE'S A LOT GOING OUT. WE ALL KNOW BECAUSE IT'S Y'ALL'S CITY.

THERE'S A LOT GOING ON OUT THERE. THIS IS A SUBSET WE PULL OUT AS A SUBSET OF THE PROJECT, BECAUSE YOU ALL HAD THIS AS BONNIE BRAE SEVEN, BUT COG AND COUNCIL RTC, WHICH I'LL GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON THAT IN A SECOND. RTC IS COMMITTED TO FUND THIS PROJECT. SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE INCLUDING IT IN THE 288 PROJECT. 1515 THIS IS A PROJECT WHERE THE. RIGHT OF WAY IS COMPLETED. WE'VE GOT SOME UTILITY RELOCATIONS THAT ARE GOING UNTIL 2027. THESE RIGHT OF WAY, I MEAN, THESE UTILITY RELOCATIONS AREN'T IMPACTING THE PROJECT BECAUSE UTILITY RELOCATIONS GET PAID OUT OF THE RIGHT OF WAY BUDGET. BUT THESE ARE ALL. NON COMPENSABLE. SO IT DOESN'T HIT THE BUDGET. SO WE'RE STILL PUSHING THEM TO MOVE THE UTILITY. SO COME DECEMBER 2027 STARTING WHEN WE KNOW FOR SURE WE'RE GOING TO HIT THAT MARK SOMETIME IN 2027.

WE'RE GOING TO START PUSHING THE STATE TO FIND THE MONEY TO DO THIS THIS WIDENING BECAUSE IT'S THEY'RE GOING TO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN? ONE OF TWO THINGS IS WHAT WE'VE BEEN SEEING OVER THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF IS THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF THE COST OF BECOMING LOWER THAN WHAT THEY ANTICIPATED. SO THEY HAD MONEY AVAILABLE. SO THEY WENT AROUND LOOKING FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE READY. AND SO THAT'S HOW WE GOT 377 ARGYLE PUT IN THAT JUST LET A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND WE GOT A PROJECT IN ROCKWALL. EXPEDITED FROM 28 TO TO JUNE OF 27 BECAUSE THEY HAD A HOLE IN THEIR, IN THEIR LETTING CYCLE BECAUSE THAT PROJECT DIDN'T MAKE. SO WE'RE FAIRLY CONFIDENT SINCE THIS IS A CLEAN PROJECT THAT STARTING IN FIRST QUARTER OF NEXT YEAR, WE'LL BE ABLE TO BE PUTTING OUR HAT IN THE HOPPER FOR WHEN PROJECTS DROP OUT ELSEWHERE.

THAT THIS WILL BE A CLEAN JOB TO PICK UP. 1173 HAS GOT A LITTLE BIT LONGER LEEWAY. THERE IS RIGHT OF WAY ISSUES THAT WE STILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH A LITTLE BIT. WE'VE GOT MOST OF THEM RESOLVED. WE THINK THE. WE'LL HAVE THE UTILITIES DONE BY MARCH OF NEXT YEAR, AND THEN WE'VE GOT SOME WORK WE HAVE TO DO IN. CRUM AT 156. SO WE'RE STILL WORKING ON. BUT AGAIN, IT IT IS NOT AS HIGH A PRIORITY AS 1515 AS FAR AS THE VOLUMES THAT DRIVE ON IT, BUT IT IS A PRETTY HIGH PRIORITY PROJECT FOR AS FAR AS I KNOW FROM Y'ALL, BECAUSE Y'ALL KEPT ASKING US TO CHASE IT DOWN. SO THIS WILL BE SIMILAR BOAT SOMETIME NEXT YEAR AS WELL. OKAY, THIS IS THE

[00:20:12]

OUTER LOOP. THIS ARE THESE ARE THE I KNOW IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S MORE THAN TWO, BUT THERE'S ONLY TWO ALTERNATIVES. THERE'S THE SOUTHERN AND THE NORTHERN ALTERNATIVE. THE SOUTHERN ALTERNATIVE IS THE TECHNICALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE. AND WE ARE ABOUT A MONTH AWAY. YEAH, ABOUT A MONTH AWAY FROM BEING ABLE TO, FROM A FEDERAL STANDPOINT, DECLARE THE SOUTHERN ALTERNATIVE IS ALSO THE, THE LOCALLY AND TECHNICALLY PREFERRED. SO BOTH OF THEM MATCH. SO AUBRY AND EVERYBODY TO THE EAST, ALL THEIR THOROUGHFARE PLANS MATCH THE PURPLE OR WHATEVER THAT COLOR IS. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE COLOR THAT IS. THERE'S ONLY FIVE COLORS. AND THEN WE GO BLUE TO MILAM. THERE'S A BIG RANCH OUT THERE AND WE'RE WAITING FOR THAT. THOSE FOLKS TO TELL US WHETHER THEY WANT US TO GO BEHIND THEIR HOUSE OR IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE. IT'S WE'RE AMBIVALENT. THEY JUST GOT TO LET US KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.

AND THEN WE TIE INTO MILAM. WE HAVE A MEETING NEXT WEEK WITH TXDOT BECAUSE TXDOT IS ALREADY BUILDING THAT SECTION OF ROAD THERE, AND WE NEED THEM TO EXPAND ONE OF THE SPANS A LITTLE BIT LONGER THAN WHAT THEY HAVE SO THAT WE CAN HIT WHERE WE NEED TO HIT. AT MILAM AT 35, BECAUSE WE WANT TO HIT THE PROPERTY LINE ON THE WEST SIDE OF 35, BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE COUNTY HAS ALL THAT LAND THAT THEY'RE DOING THAT BIG EXPO. SO WE GOT A LITTLE TWEAKING TO DO AT THE END. BUT. AND BY SEPTEMBER, EARLY, EARLY SEPTEMBER, LIKE THE 10TH OR SO WE ARE, WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO PROVIDE YOU ALL WITH A STATEMENT THAT SAYS WHATEVER THAT COLOR IS, IS THE TECHNICALLY AND LOCALLY PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE.

>> I THINK THAT'S MAUVE. >> MAUVE. I DON'T. >> USE THAT WORD VERY

FREQUENTLY. >> YEAH, I'M SUAVE AND DEBONAIR. THAT'S IT. SO I GOT THAT

THROUGH PRETTY QUICKLY. Y'ALL DIDN'T HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. >> ANY QUESTIONS?

>> EITHER I WAS BORING OR I WAS VERY THOROUGH. >> NO, YOU WERE VERY THOROUGH.

VERY THOROUGH. ALWAYS A PLEASURE. THANK YOU. CITY OF DENTON. TRANSPORTATION MOBILITY PROJECT STATUS REPORT. YES, PLEASE. NO. THAT WAS THIS. THAT WAS THAT? YES. DE MC 26-017.

[D. MC26-017 Staff Memorandum Light Audit on Bronco Follow Up Speed Cushions Impact on Emergency Response Times Denia Roselawn Audit Semi-Annual Transportation Services Report Future Items Matrix]

STAFF MEMORANDUM. YES, PLEASE. GOOD MORNING. >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIR AND

COMMITTEE MEMBERS. FARHAN BYRD, DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION. >> YES, PLEASE.

>> YES. SO UNDER LIGHT AUDIT ON BRONCO WAY, THE. I THINK CIP IS LOOKING FOR FUNDING THIS YEAR.

THEY COULD NOT FIND THE FUNDING FOR THIS INITIATIVE. AND THEN POSSIBLY NEXT YEAR THEY WILL ROLL IT TO THE PROGRAM FOR NEXT YEAR AND THEN TRY TO FIND FUNDING OPPORTUNITY.

>> OKAY. >> I WAS CURIOUS IF I COULD GET THE LIST OF CIP PROJECTS THAT ARE THAT THIS PROJECT IS SORT OF COMPETING WITH AND SORT OF WHAT THOSE RANKINGS ARE JUST, I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT OTHER PROJECTS ARE BEING CONSIDERED ACROSS THE CITY.

THANKS. >> WAS THIS YOUR. >> NO, I THINK IT WAS COMMITTEE

MEMBER PEN. YEAH. >> SO FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND, THIS PORTION OF LIGHTING, IT SAYS THERE'S 21 PENDING REQUESTS FOR STREET LIGHTING ON NON RESIDENTIAL AREAS. SO THIS

THIS IS ON A LIST OF NON RESIDENTIAL. >> THAT WILL BE ADDRESSED BY

OKAY. TYPEKIT. >> BECAUSE I KNOW THERE'S A NEIGHBORHOOD RIGHT THERE AND

AND A SCHOOL. >> YEAH. SO GOOD MORNING MOBILITY COMMITTEE. SETH GARCIA DIRECTOR OF CAPITAL PROJECTS. SO YES. SO DME HAS A PROCESS TO WHERE IF IT IS ACTUALLY WITHIN A NEIGHBORHOOD, NOT ON A PRIMARY OR SECONDARY ARTERIAL ROADWAY, THEY HAVE A FUNDING BUCKET WITHIN THEIR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM THAT FUNDS THOSE STREET LININGS, SPECIFICALLY WITHIN RESIDENTIAL AREAS. ANYTHING THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THAT GETS FUNDED THROUGH THE GENERAL FUND, NOT THROUGH DME STREET LIGHTING FUND. AND SO THAT WAS A DECISION MADE BY OUR

[00:25:03]

CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE WITH DME A FEW YEARS BACK. SO THE 21 PENDING REQUESTS ARE REQUESTS ON ROADWAYS LIKE TEASLEY, US 380 AREAS THAT ARE NOT WITHIN A ACTUAL RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD.
