[00:00:05]

>> GOOD MORNING. THIS IS THE SEPTEMBER 30TH MEETING OF THE MOBILITY COMMITTEE. WE HAVE A QUORUM. THE. IT'S. IT'S 1001 ON WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE FIRST ITEM OF BUSINESS IS A MC 26-018.

[A. MC26-018 Consider approval of the minutes of August 26, 2026.]

>> MOTION APPROVAL. >> A MOTION FOR APPROVAL. IS THERE A SECOND? SECOND.

EXCELLENT. A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION? THOSE IN FAVOR I I ANYONE OPPOSED?

[B. MC26-019 Staff Memorandum Pecan Creek Trail Update Pedestrian Lighting Feasibility on Bronco Way Non-Residential Lighting Projects List Quarterly Construction and TRiP Report Bike and Pedestrian Sidewalks for Denton Shopping Center Growing the Bike Bus Program Update Right Turn between Mockingbird on Audra Follow Up Parking & Bike Lanes on Streets Practical Examples Sidewalk Heat Intensity Follow Up Future Items Matrix]

PARDON. NOT DOCTOR, BUT I WAS SO CLOSE TO GETTING THAT RIGHT. >> ALL RIGHT.

>> GOOD MORNING. >> MORNING COMMITTEE MEMBERS. I'M SURE WE WILL TAG TEAM THIS MEETING. MISTER FARHAN BACK AND FORTH. SO FIRST UP WE HAVE THE PECAN CREEK TRAIL UPDATE. SO WE ARE AT 60% DESIGN WITH THE THREE SEGMENTS THAT ARE WITHIN THE CAPITAL PROJECT PIECE. IT'S ALL GOING TO BE ONE PROJECT. SO I BELIEVE IT'S SEGMENTS ONE, THREE, AND FOUR A ARE ALL GOING TOGETHER. WE AGAIN, THAT 60% DESIGN IS COMING BY THE END OF OCTOBER. AND WE'RE ANTICIPATING A Q 327 START OF CONSTRUCTION. SO MOVING MOVING FORWARD ON THAT ONE. PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING AND FEASIBILITY ON BRONCO WAY. SO I DID TOUCH BASE WITH DME AND WE CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE A CITY STANDARD FOR PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING AND TALKING WITH KIND OF THEIR ENGINEERING SUPERVISOR.

THE COST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ROADWAY AND PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING AND THEN JUST STANDALONE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING IS GENERALLY ABOUT THE SAME. SO IF WE WERE GOING TO LOOK AT ONE, OUR PREFERENCE WOULD BE LOOK AT THE ROADWAY LIGHTING FOR THE PEDESTRIAN. BECAUSE ONCE YOU INSTALL THE THE UNDERGROUND INFRASTRUCTURE WITH WIRING CONDUIT, THE ONLY PRICE DIFFERENCE IS BETWEEN THE POLES. I GUESS PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING POLES ARE ACTUALLY KIND OF EXPENSIVE BECAUSE THEY'RE MORE DECORATIVE THAN OUR STANDARD POLES. SO NOT A BIG COST DIFFERENCE THERE. AGAIN, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH DENTON ISD IF THEY APPROACH US ABOUT WANTING TO INSTALL THAT AND LOOK AT SOME SORT OF LICENSE AGREEMENT.

AND SO I BELIEVE ALSO I'M GOING TO TOUCH BASE WITH DENTON ISD. THEY ASKED ABOUT IT AND PROVIDE

AN UPDATE IN OUR JOINT MEETING ON OCTOBER 13TH. >> OKAY, GREAT. I JUST HAVE ONE

OTHER SORRY, ONE OTHER QUESTION. SURE. YES, MA'AM. >> SO IS IT I KNOW AS TECHNOLOGY HAS CHANGED AS FAR AS LIKE SOLAR POWERED LIGHTING, I'VE LOOKED ONLINE, EVEN JUST FOR MY OWN PROPERTY OR FOR MY NEIGHBORHOOD. IS THERE I UNDERSTAND THE PROBABLY THE PREFERENCE TO TO RUN WIRED LIGHTING. AND I NOTICED THAT THERE ARE THERE IS PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING, FOR EXAMPLE, AT NORTH LAKES PARK, LIKE ALONG A SIDEWALK THAT GOES TO THE DOCK.

I DON'T KNOW IF THOSE ARE WIRED, BUT IS THERE ANY PRECEDENCE TO CONSIDER DOING ANY, LIKE SOLAR POWERED LIGHTING THAT WOULD JUST REQUIRE A POLE AND THEN MOUNTING? I KNOW THOSE CAN BE KIND OF EXPENSIVE THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY'RE MUCH MORE HIGH POWERED.

>> YEAH. SO WHEN I TOUCH BASE WITH DME, WE DON'T HAVE ANY STANDARD FOR PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING. SO THEY DON'T THEY DON'T HAVE A WIRED PREFERENCE. THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLAR PREFERENCE. I TO BE HONEST, THAT IS SO FAR OUTSIDE OF MY REALM OF EXPERTISE. I WOULD WANT SOMEBODY FROM DME HERE TO EITHER ANSWER THAT OR PROVIDE YOU ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. SO I CAN ASK THEM ABOUT THAT. AND MAYBE WE CAN PROVIDE SOMETHING IN A FUTURE MANAGEMENT REPORT, OR MAYBE SINCE WE'VE TOUCHED THIS ONE 3 OR 4 TIMES, MAYBE I CAN JUST HAVE AARON BINION COME AND GIVE SOME INFORMATION ON THE CITY STREET LIGHTING PROGRAM. IF THAT.

>> WORKS, THAT WOULD BE GREAT. >> OKAY, PERFECT. >> ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THANK

YOU. >> YOU BET. OKAY. NONRESIDENTIAL LIGHTING PROJECTS. SO WE PROVIDED THE LIST OF NONRESIDENTIAL LIGHTING PROJECTS. I THINK IT WAS THE 21, 23, SOMETHING LIKE THAT FROM THE LAST TIME I RECEIVED IT. SO THOSE ARE THERE FOR FOR YOUR REVIEW. AGAIN, WE THE PROCESS KIND OF IS WE GO THROUGH THOSE AND REVIEW THEM AS PART OF THE CIP PROGRAM. OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS, WE HAVE NOT HAD MUCH FUNDING, IF ANY, REALLY ALLOCATED TO ANYTHING THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE RESIDENTIAL PROGRAM THAT DME DOES. WE DO HAVE HICKORY CREEK PHASE TWO STREET LIGHTING, WHICH IS LIGHTING GOING FORWARD WITH LIGHTING THE PORTION FROM RIVER PASS BACK TOWARDS 2499 OR TEASLEY ROADWAY. SO THAT IS A CURRENT CAPITAL PROJECT PLAN. BUT AGAIN, ONCE WE START THE NEW BUDGET CYCLE HERE NEXT FISCAL YEAR, WE WILL LOOK AT POTENTIALLY INCLUDING THOSE AGAIN FOR CMO AND COUNCIL

DIRECTION. >> GOOD, GOOD. >> OKAY.

[00:05:04]

>> ALL RIGHT. QUARTERLY TRIP IN CONSTRUCTION REPORT. SO I'M GOING TO HIT THE HIGHLIGHTS HERE. UNLESS YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS SPECIFICALLY, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO STOP ME. SO BONNIE BRAE, PHASE THREE. WE ARE GETTING SO CLOSE TO BEING SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLETE. ALL OF THE PAVEMENT IS OPEN RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF THE FOOTBALL STADIUM. SO NOT PROVIDING THE IMPACTS FOR THE FOOTBALL GAMES THAT WE WERE REALLY THE LAST THINGS ARE COMPLETING THE STAMPS AND CONCRETE, THE SIDEWALK PIECES AND THEN GETTING THE SIGNALS OPERATIONAL.

I BELIEVE RIGHT NOW THE TIMELINE FOR GETTING THE SIGNALS OPERATIONAL IS IN OCTOBER, WHICH WE ARE ALMOST THERE. WE'RE A DAY AWAY FROM OCTOBER. SO HERE IN THE NEXT MONTH, WE EXPECT TO GET THOSE FULLY OPERATIONAL AND UP AND RUNNING. AND THEN FOR A Q FOR

FINAL COMPLETION. BONNIE BRAE SIX, WE. >> ARE BEFORE YOU LEAVE THAT.

>> YES, SIR. >> WHEN DO YOU THINK THE. THE INTERCHANGE BETWEEN THE THE UNDER PART OF THE INTERSTATE AND BONNIE BRAE IN FRONT OF THE STADIUM WILL BE. THAT'S THAT'S

KIND OF A BIZARRE INTERCHANGE. >> YEAH, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION. I'D HAVE TO CIRCLE UP WITH TXDOT TO SEE THEIR PHASING ON THAT. THAT'S A PART OF THE MERGE PROJECT THAT'S CURRENTLY HAPPENING. TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW ALL OF THE EXACT SEQUENCING THAT THEY'RE WORKING

WITH ON ON THAT, BUT I CAN FIND OUT AND REPORT BACK NEXT MONTH. >> I CAN IMAGINE THAT WOULD BE

A BIG DEAL BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF. >> GRADE SEPARATION. YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. ESPECIALLY WHERE WE TIED ON WHERE THE NEW DRAINAGE BOXES COME UNDER. SO LET ME FIND OUT AND I CAN GET AN ESTIMATE ON WHEN THEY'RE EXPECTING WHAT PHASE THAT'S IN.

>> THANK YOU. >> YOU BET. SO BONNIE BRAE PHASE SIX. THE BIG THING IS WE ARE COMING UP ON OUR TRAFFIC SWITCH. SO HOPEFULLY IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS YOU'RE GOING TO SEE FOLKS GET MOVED OVER TO WHAT IS THE SOUTHBOUND LANES. AND WE WILL START WORKING ON THE OLD NORTHBOUND LANES. SO AGAIN, THIS IS GOING TO SIGNIFICANTLY HELP WITH THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT BONNIE BRAE AND 380 TO CREATE MORE SPACE. SO IT'S NOT THE TWO LANES. WE ARE WORKING WITH THEM TO GET THAT SIDEWALK IN ON THE WEST SIDE TO CONTINUE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS, GOING TOWARDS DENTON HIGH SCHOOL AND REEVES ELEMENTARY. THE OTHER BIG CHANGE THAT YOU'LL SEE OUT THERE IS ON THE SECTION FROM RINEY ROAD, BRONCO WAY, TOWARDS US 77. WE ARE NOW GOING TO HAVE TRAFFIC ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADWAY THERE. SO AGAIN, ONE LANE WILL BE CLOSED DOWN AS WE CONTINUE DOING THE SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS, THE STREET LIGHTING, ALL OF THOSE OTHER INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES. BUT WE DO HAVE PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT POSITIONS NOW. SO AGAIN, MAKING MAKING CURRENT PROGRESS OUT THERE. AND WE'RE LOOKING AT A

SPRING 2027 COMPLETION FOR SUBSTANTIAL. >> GO AHEAD.

>> SPRING NOT FOR THE WHOLE PROJECT, JUST FOR THE SIDEWALKS. BECAUSE IT SAYS PROJECT

COMPLETION. Q THREE. >> SORRY I MESSED THAT UP. SO IT IS IT IS SPRING OF 2726 FOR FINAL OR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. OKAY, FINAL COMPLETION IN Q3 OF 26.

>> AND THEN WHEN WHEN THOSE LANES ARE OPEN, ARE WE ARE THE DRIVEWAYS TO RAISE A RANCH GOING TO BE OPEN ANY TIME SOON, LIKE FOR PEOPLE TO ACCESS ANY OF THE SHOPS?

>> YES. ONCE WE ONCE WE MOVE EVERYBODY. OOPS, SORRY. ONCE WE MOVE EVERYBODY ONTO THAT SIDE, OUR PLAN IS TO HAVE ALL THOSE DRIVEWAYS OPEN. SO THOSE WILL BE THE ACCESS POINTS.

>> AWESOME. I THINK THAT WILL ALSO HELP A LOT WITH. >> THE TRAFFIC.

>> BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE I'VE BEEN GOING ALL THE WAY AROUND AND IT'S BEEN KIND OF A WILD

SITUATION. YES, MA'AM. OKAY. THAT'S GREAT. THANK YOU. >> PERFECT. YES, MA'AM.

>> I DON'T KNOW IF YOU EVEN MENTIONED FOR ME BONNIE BRAE FOR BE OR IF WE SKIPPED OVER THAT AND I SKIPPED IT TO BE CLEAR. SO ON THE THE LITTLE TIMELINE DOCUMENT WE WERE GIVEN, IT SUGGESTED CONSTRUCTION START POTENTIALLY NEXT YEAR. THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY TRUE BECAUSE I SEE PENDING FUNDING. IN OTHER WORDS, IT DOESN'T REALLY HAVE FUNDING AT THE MOMENT.

>> CORRECT? >> BOTH. BOTH. WHAT IS IT FOR AND FOR B OR IS IT FIVE. AND

FOR B FIVE AND FOUR. B DON'T HAVE FUNDING RIGHT NOW. >> CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT.

OKAY. >> YEAH. SO FIVE JUST GOT THE MILL OVERLAY PORTION THAT WAS COMPLETED IN JULY. SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING IT TO BUMP OUT FURTHER INTO THE 2030, 20, 31 RANGE LOOKING AT FULL RECONSTRUCTION. AND THAT WOULD BE AFTER WE MOVE FORWARD WITH FOUR B. YES, YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. WE DON'T HAVE ALLOCATED FUNDING FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE RIGHT OF WAY OR TO FUND THE CONSTRUCTION SECTION. SO WE'RE WE'VE LEFT IT IN THERE AS KIND OF WHAT'S PENDING. ANTICIPATED THAT ASK BEING IN THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR.

>> CIP OKAY, THANKS. >> OKAY. RONNIE ROAD EAST RURAL ROADWAY IS FULLY OPEN. WE GOT THE STRIPING IN FOR THE CROSSWALKS. WE ARE WAITING ON THE FLASHING BEACONS, I BELIEVE IS THE LAST THING. I'M HOPING A COUPLE MORE WEEKS THOSE WILL BE IN, AND THEN WE WILL FINALLY CLOSE OUT ALL OF THAT PROJECT. SO AGAIN, THEY WERE ABLE TO GET THIS ONE KNOCKED OUT THIS

[00:10:03]

WE'LL GET THIS ONE CLOSED OUT. >> YES, MA'AM. >> WHERE WILL THE FLASHING

BEACONS BE LOCATED? >> SO THEY ARE AT HARDAWAY AND RONNIE ROAD EAST. I BELIEVE IT'S HARDAWAY ON THE SOUTH. I DON'T REMEMBER IF IT'S HARDAWAY ON THE ON THE NORTH WHATEVER.

>> SO JUST AT THE HARDAWAY CROSSING. SO THAT'LL BE BASICALLY ONE CROSSING THAT

WILL HAVE THE FLASHING BEACONS. >> THAT IS CORRECT. THANK YOU. >> ALL RIGHT. WESTGATE ROAD PHASE ONE. WE DID COMPLETE THAT BACK IN APRIL OF 26. SO IT IS OPEN. THAT'S PROVIDING THE CONNECTION. EAST WEST BACK OVER TO THE SERVICE ROAD WESTGATE ROAD PHASE TWO. WE ARE AT 95% DESIGN. TEX DOT ACTUALLY CHANGED THEIR ALIGNMENT OF THE OVERPASS THAT GOES UP AND OVER WHERE WINDSOR WILL COME OUT. SO WE ARE ADJUSTING, TWEAKING SOME PLANS RIGHT THERE FOR WHERE OUR CONNECTION IS GOING TO BE. SO ONCE WE GET THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY ACQUIRING RIGHT OF WAY, AND THEN WE'LL BE LOOKING TO MOVE FORWARD IN CONSTRUCTION IN ABOUT A YEAR OR SO.

NEIGHBORHOOD FIVE BE OAKLAND DRAINAGE. SO WE ARE SPLITTING THAT PROJECT INTO TWO GMPS.

WE'RE GOING TO FOCUS ON BUILDING THE DETENTION POND BACK BEHIND THE MOVIE TAVERN.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST KIND OF NATURAL. SEQUENCING WAS GOING TO HAVE TO HAPPEN FIRST FOR US TO BE ABLE TO BUILD THE IMPROVEMENTS DOWN OAKLAND. SO OUR GOAL WITH KNOWING THE FAIR OPERATES THERE, WE DON'T WANT TO HAVE A MASS EXCAVATION PROJECT HAPPENING DURING THE FAIR TIMELINE. SO WE'RE ANTICIPATING HOPEFULLY GETTING OUT THERE AND STARTING THAT IN JANUARY. SO YOU'LL SEE A GMP NUMBER ONE, COME FORWARD TO CITY COUNCIL, HOPEFULLY DECEMBER, JANUARY TIMELINE TO START THAT CONSTRUCTION. TO BE CLEAR OF THE MASS GRADING OPERATION BY THE JULY ISH TIME FRAME. AND THEN WHILE WE DO THAT, WE WILL FINALIZE THE OAKLAND AREA ROADWAY AND DRAINAGE PLANS. WE'VE GOT A LARGE RELOCATION THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WITH ATMOS AS THEY KILL OUT ONE OF THE LAST LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS IN TOWN. SO WE'RE ACTIVELY COORDINATING A LOT ON THAT WITH TWTW IS ALSO BUILDING A NEW COLLEGE OF BUSINESS RIGHT THERE. THAT'S GOING TO REQUIRE NEW UTILITY CONNECTIONS. SO A LOT OF OVERLAP RIGHT THERE WITH WITH ALL THAT'S GOING ON ON OAKLAND STREET.

>> AND I WILL EMPHASIZE WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT ATMOS. SO ALL THE COMPLAINTS WE HEARD FROM THE HISTORIC OAK STREET NEIGHBORHOOD, WE'RE GOING TO BE HEARING THAT FROM THIS AREA BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO RIP IT ALL UP AT ONCE AND KEEP IT RIPPED OPEN WHILE THEY DO IT. TO

REPLACE THE LOW PRESSURE WITH THE HIGH PRESSURE. >> INTERMEDIATE PRESSURE.

>> MEDIUM PRESSURE. YEAH. AND THAT'S A VERY OLD SYSTEM OVER THERE IT IS. SO THAT WILL BE A HEADACHE FOR PEOPLE. THE QUESTION I HAD WAS ON THE TIMELINE. THERE WAS AN OAKLAND ONE AND AN OAKLAND TWO. AND I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE DIFFERENCE WAS. YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY IT ALL RIGHT NOW, BUT LIKE IF IT WAS ON DISCUSSED DENTON, I MIGHT FORGET HALF OF WHAT YOU

TELL ME ANYWAY. >> NO. >> SO IT'S WHAT I JUST PREVIOUSLY REFERENCED. IT'S THE POND. SO OAKLAND NEIGHBORHOOD FIVE, OAKLAND DRAINAGE GMP ONE WILL FOCUS ON THE POND NEXT TO THE FAIRGROUND PROPERTY. SO IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTION OF THE POND AND THE DAM STRUCTURE FOR THE POND. PHASE TWO WILL BE THE ACTUAL IMPROVEMENTS NEAR T W THAT INCLUDES AUSTIN, OAKLAND, TEXAS AND WITHERS.

>> OKAY. THANK YOU. GOOD. >> OKAY. MCKINNEY. SIDEWALKS. WE ARE COMPLETE. PEOPLE ARE USING THE SIDEWALKS. WE FINALLY GOT THE RAMP CONFIGURATION FIGURED OUT AT THE CORNER OF WOODROW. IF YOU SAW US REBUILD THAT THREE TIMES, WE HAD SOME STRUGGLES THERE WITH THE CONTRACTOR. BUT IT'S DONE. IT'S PUNCHED. WALKED. WE ARE IN CLOSE OUT. SO SO FAR I'VE SEEN A LOT OF FOLKS USING UTILIZING THAT SIDEWALK. IT LOOKS FANTASTIC. RYAN ROAD CURRENTLY AT 90% DESIGN. WE'RE IN ACTIVE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION. AGAIN, THIS IS GOING TO BE PENDING FUTURE CIP FUNDS FOR WHEN WE START CONSTRUCTION. I BELIEVE WE HAVE CONSTRUCTION FUNDING PLANNED OUT FOR NEXT YEARS TASK IN THE CIP TO GET STARTED. AND THEN HICKORY CREEK THREE, I BELIEVE LAST TIME I PROVIDED THE UPDATE THAT WE HUNG THE FINAL BRIDGE BEAMS OVER THE KANSAS CITY, CANADIAN PACIFIC, KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN RAILWAY, SO THEY ARE ON THEIR FINAL DECK PAWS. I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY GOES OUT THERE, BUT I WAS OUT THERE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND BOY, DOES IT LOOK DIFFERENT. SO OUR GOAL IS STILL TO POTENTIALLY HAVE TRAFFIC GOING ACROSS THE BRIDGE BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR. BUT OUR SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION FOR THE PROJECT IN ITS ENTIRETY WILL BE SPRING OF NEXT YEAR. AGAIN, WE'RE WORKING WITH MARIO AND COLA TO TRY AND GET AT LEAST ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC OPEN IN EACH DIRECTION AS FAST AS POSSIBLE TO HELP PROVIDE SOME RELIEF OUT THERE ON THE EAST, WEST, SOUTH, SOUTH OF.

>> TOWN THAT WILL TERMINATE AT 1830. >> CORRECT?

>> CURRENTLY CORRECT. AND THEN WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH TRANSPORTATION SERVICES. THEY WERE MONUMENTAL. CHANDRA AND FARHAN, IN HELPING US GET A SIGNAL IN THE CIP PROGRAM. SO

[00:15:02]

>> SO WILL THE SIGNAL BE JUST JUST BEFORE ONE GETS TO THE BRIDGE GOING NORTHBOUND? I

GUESS THAT'S NORTH. >> I'M GOING TO PUNT TO CHANDRA. >> GOOD MORNING. COMMITTEE MEMBERS. CHANDRA CITY TRAFFIC ENGINEER. THE SIGNAL WILL BE AT THE INTERSECTION OF 1830 AND HICKORY CREEK, SO IT WILL BE AT THE TERMINUS OF HICKORY CREEK PROJECT. WEST SIDE OF THE

BRIDGE. >> OKAY. WEST SIDE OF THE BRIDGE? YES. OKAY. THERE'S BEEN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT THAT LOCATION. OKAY. SO THAT'LL THAT'S GOING TO ACT TO SLOW

PEOPLE DOWN. YES. >> SO WE ARE WORKING ON ROPES AND RANCH AND THAT'S OUR IMMEDIATE PRIORITY. WE WILL SWITCH IT OVER TO THE HICKORY CREEK 1830 BEFORE END OF THIS

YEAR. >> OKAY. OKAY. VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, THANK YOU. YES,

MA'AM. >> FOR SETH, JUST TO BRIEF REVIEW, THE PRIMARY MULTI YEAR

DELAY FOR HICKORY CREEK WAS RAILROAD RELATED, CORRECT? >> YES. IT WAS THE RAILROAD MERGER. SO WE WERE REAL FAST. WE WERE ALMOST TO THE POINT OF HAVING A CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT WITH KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN WHEN THAT JOINT MERGER HAPPENED BETWEEN CANADIAN PACIFIC AND KANSAS CITY SOUTHERN. WE LITERALLY GOT AN EMAIL ON SATURDAY NIGHT THAT SAID WE'RE TERMINATING ALL TALKS. YOU CAN PICK IT UP WITH THE NEW ENTITY WHEN THEY FORMED. AND SO WE

STARTED ABOUT A TWO YEAR PROCESS OVER AGAIN. >> THANK YOU.

>> WHERE DOES THE 2000 GORILLA, 2,000 POUND GORILLA SIT ANYWHERE HE WANTS TO?

>> YEAH IT IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT. SO OKAY. AND THAT IS ALL I HAVE FOR THE CONSTRUCTION REPORT.

I'LL PASS IT BACK OVER TO FARAH. >> VERY GOOD. YES, SIR. OH. >> GOOD MORNING AGAIN. SO I HAVE NEXT THREE ITEMS. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR IF YOU WANT ME TO GO OVER, I CAN

WALK YOU THROUGH. >> I'M ANTICIPATING A QUESTION. GO AHEAD.

>> OKAY. SO WE TALKED ABOUT THE STRETCH NEAR THE DENTON SHOPPING CENTER. THAT'S RIGHT.

SO IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS NOT FEASIBLE. HOWEVER, THERE IS STILL A NEED. AND BASED ON, YOU KNOW WHAT? WE SEE PEOPLE WALKING AROUND NEEDING TO GET TO THE TO THE SHOPS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. HAVE, HAVE WE TALKED WITH TEXDOT ABOUT POTENTIALLY RECONSTRUCTING OR WHAT IT WOULD TAKE TO ADD SIDEWALKS? IS THAT IS THAT SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN DISCUSSED? I KNOW THAT I KNOW

THAT THIS STRETCH WAS RECONSTRUCTED NOT THAT LONG AGO. >> WE DID HIGHLIGHT AND DISCUSS THIS PARTICULAR SECTION, BUT THEY ARE SAYING LIKE, WHEN WE REDO THE ENTIRE 380 CORRIDOR, THAT'S WHEN THEY WILL BE ABLE TO BUILD IT. SO IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE. THERE IS SOME POWER UTILITY LINES, UNDERGROUND GAS LINES THAT NEEDS TO BE RELOCATED, AND SOME ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY NEED TO BE PURCHASED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. SO IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE. THE DOLLAR AMOUNT THAT WHAT WE GOT FROM THE CONTRACTOR IS WITHOUT MOVING OR THE UTILITIES OR PURCHASING ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY. SO IF THAT COST HAS TO BE INCLUDED, IT MIGHT CROSS MORE THAN $1 MILLION. AND SINCE THERE IS A SIDEWALK ON THE SOUTH SIDE AT TRAFFIC LIGHT, PEDESTRIANS CAN SWITCH OVER TO THE SOUTH SIDE AND THEN THEY CAN COME BACK TO THE NORTHERN SIDE IF THEY IF THEY WANT TO. AND FROM THE SHOPPING CENTER, THEY HAVE A DIRECT CONNECTION TO THE HINKLE DRIVEWAY AS WELL. SO IF THEY WANT TO GO TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD, SO THEY HAVE AN ALTERNATE ROUTE AS WELL. AND AS WE PUBLISH THIS TWO WEEKS AGO, THERE IS A CALL FOR A SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS FROM TEXDOT. SO WE ARE APPLYING THIS LOCATION TO CIP. BUT ONE, IT HAS TO BE SELECTED. TWO, IT WILL BE 3 TO 5 YEAR TIMELINE FOR IMPLEMENTATION. BUT WE DO PLAN TO. SUBMIT THIS PROJECT AND SEE IF IT GETS SELECTED BECAUSE OF THE PEDESTRIAN NEED.

>> OKAY. >> THAT THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I MEAN, I THINK THAT THE SECTION OF UNIVERSITY IS, IS VERY HIGHLY TRAFFIC. THERE'S A LOT OF PEOPLE THERE. IS THIS AN

[00:20:01]

>> SURE. YEAH, WE COULD EVALUATE THAT AND WE CAN DISCUSS WITH THEM. BUT LATELY THEY HAVE BEEN REDUCING FUNDINGS. AND FARHAN CAN HIGHLIGHT MORE ON THE FUNDING

STATUS FOR DC. >> AND I KNOW IT'S A BIG IT'S A BIG PROJECT.

>> SO JUST THIS YEAR, WE ANTICIPATE SIGNIFICANT DROP IN TRIP FUNDINGS. WE DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBER NOW, BUT IN THE MEETINGS IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED THAT IT WILL BE EVEN LOWER THAN HALF $1 MILLION. SO LESS THAN FIVE $500,000. BUT AS SOON AS WE FIND OUT THE EXACT NUMBER, THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO DEVELOP A PROJECT OUT OF THAT SCOPE FOR THE PROJECT.

>> AND IF THE IF IF THE CIP IS NOT FUNDED, HOW WOULD LET'S SAY THERE IS ENOUGH. IF I CAN, I DON'T HAVE TO CONTINUE DOWN THIS ROAD. BUT I'M JUST CURIOUS, LIKE, HOW ELSE COULD A PROJECT LIKE THAT BE FUNDED IF THIS IS SOMETHING I KNOW THERE ARE LIKE SOUTHEAST DENTON, THERE'S LIKE A SPECIFIC DESIGNATION. AND SO THEN THE ENTIRE CITY DECIDES, OKAY, WE WANT TO GO AHEAD AND REVITALIZE OR FUND A BIG PROJECT FOR THIS SPECIFIC AREA. HOW, HOW ELSE COULD ESSENTIAL INFRASTRUCTURE BE FUNDED? WOULD THE CITY HAVE TO BUY A PART OF THAT PRIVATE PROPERTY IN ORDER TO FORCE THE FORCE TO PUT IN A SIDEWALK? OR I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S OR SOMETHING YOU CAN

ANSWER OFFLINE? I'M CURIOUS. >> JUST LIKE. >> SO YES, FOR FOR PROJECTS OTHER THAN CIP OR FEDERAL FUNDED OR FEDERALLY FUNDED OR ENTITY FUNDED WILL STAFF IS PLANNING TO RELY ON PRIORITIZED PROJECT LIST THAT DOCTOR HAS DEVELOPED RECENTLY. WE ARE JUST FINALIZING IT AND ONCE IT IS IN PLACE THAT WE WILL. WE WILL RELY. WHEN IT COMES TO SELECTING THE PROJECTS FOR BIKE LANES OR SIDEWALKS WILL BE. STAFF WILL BE LOOKING AT PRIORITIZED PROJECTS AND. AND GOING GOING BY THE RANKING OF THOSE PROJECTS. IF THIS PROJECT

IS IN THAT LIST, THEN YES, IT WILL GET PRIORITY. >> OKAY. PLEASE PROCEED.

>> SO I THINK THE NEXT ITEM IS GROWING BUS, BIKE BUS PROGRAM THAT WE CURRENTLY HAVE AT NEW NEWTON RAYZOR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. I THINK IN THE LAST YEAR, MOBILITY COMMITTEE MEETING, COMMITTEE MEMBER BECK ASKED TO FOLLOW UP FROM RIVERA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ALEXANDER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE. STAFF REACHED OUT SEVERAL TIMES TO THE DASD THEY DIRECTED TO THE SCHOOL AND THEN THE SCHOOL DIRECTED TO PTA, BUT EVENTUALLY NO ONE FOLLOWED UP BACK. AND SO WE ARE AT THIS IMPASSE RIGHT NOW. BUT SINCE WE HAVE MORE WORK ON TRANSPORTATION, PROBABLY WE WILL BE SHIFTING TOWARDS OTHER PRIORITIES UNTIL IF WE HEAR BACK FROM THEM LATER. AND THE NEXT ITEM IS THERE WAS A REQUEST FROM COUNCIL MEMBER, FORMER COUNCIL MEMBER BYRD ON A MOCKINGBIRD ORDER FOR A RIGHT TURN LANE. THERE IS TWO INTERSECTIONS WITH THE SAME NAME WEST AUDRA WITH MOCKINGBIRD AND EAST AUDRA AT MOCKINGBIRD. THE WEST ORDER HAS ALWAYS TOP, BUT THERE IS NOT ENOUGH PAVEMENT WITH TO HAVE A RIGHT TURN LANE. THE PAVEMENT IS ONLY 31FT, SO STAFF IS INCLINED TO GIVE AN ALL WAY STOP, SIMILAR TO THE WESTERN SIDE AT THE EASTERN. SO THE VEHICLES WOULD BE NOT SPEEDING AWAY FROM THE INTERSECTION THAT CAUSES THE CRASHES, BUT IT'S NOT EVEN SEVERE TO HAVE A MAJOR.

BUT AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, WE PLAN TO CONVERT THE INTERSECTION INTO AN ALL WAY

STOP. >> OKAY. >> THANK YOU.

[00:25:12]

>> DOCTOR BYRD, ARE YOU UP? OH, BEG YOUR PARDON, PLEASE. >> GOOD MORNING, CHAIR AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS. THIS MEMORANDUM HAS BEEN DEVELOPED IN ANSWER ADDRESS THE QUESTION THAT WAS RAISED BY COMMITTEE MEMBERS REGARDING THE BICYCLE RACK PARKING AREA. AND STAFF DEVELOPED THIS MEMO TO ADDRESS THIS QUESTION. SO I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS ANY QUESTIONS OR

COMMENTS IF YOU HAVE. >> IF YOU COULD INTRODUCE YOURSELF.

>> SENIOR PLANNER, TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> I WAS GOING TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO SAY SOMETHING SINCE YOUR NAME WAS ATTACHED TO IT.

THE ONLY QUESTION I JUST GENERALLY HAD OR COMMENT IS I CONTINUE TO SEE WITH NEW PROJECTS, INCLUDING CITY FACILITIES, THAT SOME OF THE BIKE RACKS ARE BEING INSTALLED INCORRECTLY. THEY'RE ABOUT 90 DEGREES OFF WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE. AND SO I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THAT. OUR PARKING STANDARDS NEED TO HAVE MORE VISUALS IN THEM, OR IF MAYBE WE NEED TO DO A BETTER JOB OF REVIEWING SITE PLANS, WHICH IS STARTING TO GET INTO DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. SO I'M NOT SURE IF IT'S A SITE PLAN DESIGN REVIEW ISSUE OR LIKE PEOPLE NOT UNDERSTANDING WHAT IT'S SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE, OR BOTH.

>> CAN YOU RECALL A SPECIFIC LOCATION? >> YES, THE TENNIS CENTER THERE, 90 DEGREES OFF THE VILLAGES OF CARMEL PARK. THEY'RE 90 DEGREES OFF. AND THEN THE RENEGADE APARTMENTS, WHICH ARE BRAND NEW, THAT PARKING IS BASICALLY IN AN INACCESSIBLE OR DIFFICULT TO ACCESS LOCATION. THERE'S NOT REALLY SPACE TO PULL YOUR BIKE AROUND AND GET IT INTO THE PARKING CORRECTLY. SO THEY THEY PROBABLY INSTALLED IT CORRECTLY. THERE'S JUST NOT IT'S LIKE BUILDING A PARKING SPACE WITHOUT A DRIVEWAY TO GET TO THE PARKING SPACE IS A GOOD WAY TO PHRASE THAT. SO THAT COULD BE A SITE PLAN REVIEW ISSUE. IT COULD BE A, WE NEED A MORE VISUALS IN THE IN OUR STANDARDS, THERE'S SOMETHING KIND OF NOT WORKING QUITE RIGHT IN SOME

CASES. >> SO I THINK THE OBSERVATION IS CORRECT. IT IS PARTLY RELATED TO SITE PLAN REVIEW OR. AND ALSO MAYBE THE CONTRACTOR WHO IS INSTALLING WOULD NOT BE FOLLOWING. THE BEST APPROACH COULD BE THAT IF YOU SHARE THOSE LOCATIONS WITH STAFF, WE WILL AUDIT THOSE. IN ADDITION, STAFF WILL ALSO START LOOKING INTO THE PROCESS OF REVIEWING THOSE BEFORE THEY ARE IMPLEMENTED. SO WE WILL DEVELOP A PROCESS ON THE SITE. WE ARE ALSO DEVELOPING DETAILED CRITERIA. MANUAL UPDATES FOR TRANSPORTATION, AND IT IS PART

OF THAT AS WELL. >> OKAY. THANK YOU. >> YES, MA'AM.

>> THANK YOU FOR THE FOR THIS MEMO. SO AS COUNCIL MEMBER RUMOHR SAID, SOMETIMES WE SEE BIKE RACKS THAT ARE EITHER INCORRECTLY INSTALLED OR EVEN JUST INCORRECT. I KNOW AT THE BIKE RACKS BETWEEN NEWTON RAYZOR ELEMENTARY AND CALHOUN MIDDLE SCHOOL. SO THIS IS A BUILDING THAT WAS COMPLETED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. THEIR BIKE RACK IS THE THE WAVY LINE ONE.

AND WHEN WHEN KIDS PUT THEIR BIKES ON IT, MY CHILDREN'S BIKE TIRES HAVE ACTUALLY MELTED BECAUSE IT'S A METAL BIKE RACK. AND THE ONLY WAY YOU DO IT IS LIKE PUTTING YOUR BIKE TIRE OVER IT. SO WHAT, WHAT, WHAT CAN BE DONE? IF WE NOTICE IF IF BIKE USERS ARE NOTICING EITHER IT'S INSTALLED INCORRECTLY OR IF IT'S JUST IT DOESN'T MEET THE STANDARD, DO WE HAVE A PROCESS FOR. LIKE REQUIRING AN UPDATE TO, TO MAKE SURE LIKE, OKAY, THIS, WE NEED THE ACTUAL PROPER BIKE RACK ON. I KNOW THAT'S AN ISD PROPERTY, BUT HOW, HOW, HOW DOES THAT WORK? IF, IF

WE SEE SOMETHING THAT'S INCORRECT. >> THIS MEMO WAS DEVELOPED ONLY TO ADDRESS THE HOW WE CAN INCREASE THE EDUCATION OF INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE USING THESE RACKS BY. IN ORDER. YOUR QUESTION, BASED ON MY UNDERSTANDING, IS MOSTLY ABOUT THE. THE PROPER MATERIAL, THE PROPER DESIGN OF THE RACK. SO I THINK THAT WE NEED TO DISCUSS

IT FURTHER AND THEN GET BACK TO YOU. >> AND IN ADDITION, THE OPEN OPTION OF RENTING 311 THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL RESIDENTS AND CITIZENS AND ANY, NOT ONLY TRANSPORTATION, BUT IT IS OPEN FOR ANY OTHER ISSUES AS WELL. SO THEY COULD JUST SEND A

REQUEST OR INQUIRY THROUGH DENTON 311 AND IT'S EXPEDITED. >> OKAY.

>> AND MY ONLY OTHER QUESTION IS, I KNOW IN THE IN THE DC OR IN THE DESIGN CRITERIA MANUAL,

[00:30:07]

>> I CAN ANSWER. >> YES, PLEASE. >> GO AHEAD.

>> YOU KNOW A LOT ABOUT IT. >> WE WENT OVER THIS LIKE ON THIS COMMITTEE A YEAR OR TWO AGO. AND BASICALLY WHAT IN AN OLDER NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE AS MANY BIKE RACKS BECAUSE WE DIDN'T REQUIRE IT WHEN THAT WAS BUILT. AND WE CANNOT RETROACTIVELY GO BACK AND TELL PEOPLE TO UPDATE TO OUR STANDARDS WITHOUT THEM MAKING BIG CHANGES TO THEIR PROPERTY. BASICALLY, THERE'S LIKE TRIGGERS THAT CAUSE THEM TO BRING EVERYTHING UP TO STANDARD IN TERMS OF GETTING PEOPLE TO ADD PARKING. IT'S REALLY, YOU KNOW, MORE LIKE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE OR MAKE IT EASY TO, BUT WE CAN'T REALLY REQUIRE THEM TO WITHOUT THEM HITTING THAT TRIGGER. THAT WOULD CAUSE THEM TO COME UP TO STANDARD. WAS THAT YOUR MAIN QUESTION? AND THEN LIKE, AND THEN NEW BUILDINGS, THOUGH WE DO HAVE THAT STANDARD NOW, THERE IS A CERTAIN NUMBER OF PARKING THEY HAVE TO BUILD PER BUILDING. AND IT'S SIMILAR TO,

TO CAR PARKING. THERE IS ONE FOR BIKES AS WELL. >> NOW IS THERE?

>> I'M JUST CURIOUS, DO WE HAVE IF, IF THERE'S AN OLDER IF THERE'S AN OLDER BUSINESS OR SOMETHING, DO WE HAVE A REQUIREMENT FOR PARKING FOR VEHICLES? DO WE DO WE DO THAT

RETROACTIVELY? >> NO, THERE'S SUBJECT TO WHATEVER THE REQUIREMENT WAS WHEN IT WAS BUILT. AND SAME THING, IF THEY DO A MAJOR REDEVELOPMENT, THEY SUDDENLY TRIGGER THE REQUIREMENT TO BRING, LIKE ALL STANDARDS UP TO DATE. BASICALLY THAT WOULD BE

VEHICLE PARKING, BIKE PARKING. IT TRIGGERS A LOT. >> OKAY, OKAY.

>> OKAY. OKAY. NEXT. OKAY. >> SO THEN. >> SO ON THE SIDEWALK HEAT INTENSITY BACK IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR, STAFF PRESENTED SEVERAL OPTIONS AND DETAILED RESEARCH ON THE PROCESS AND APPLICABLE OPTIONS WHEN IT COMES TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF COATINGS OR MIXES FOR THE CONCRETE. AND ALSO THE ANALYSIS SUGGESTED, BASED ON DISCUSSION WITH THE CAPITAL PROJECTS. THE ANALYSIS SUGGESTED THAT THAT IT'S NOT FEASIBLE BECAUSE ANY TREATMENTS THAT WE THAT WE ADD TO THE EXISTING MATERIAL WOULD INCREASE THE COST BY 50 TO 60%.

AND THEN. IN ADDITION, THE THE FULL PROJECT LIFE CYCLE, THE LIFESPAN OF THIS MATERIAL THAT WE WOULD ADD TO CONCRETE WOULD NOT BE IS UNKNOWN. DIFFERENT LITERATURE AS YOU PASS THROUGH, DEPENDING ON THE MATERIAL TYPE PROJECTS, DIFFERENT LIFE. AND SO THAT WITH THAT UNKNOWN CAPITAL PROJECTS AND TRANSPORTATION HAD SEVERAL DISCUSSIONS. AND BASED ON THAT, WE STAFF IS RECOMMENDING THAT WE DO NOT ADD THIS MATERIAL TO OUR ONGOING OR FUTURE PROJECTS BECAUSE IT ADDS COST AND IT WILL. HAVE DIFFERENT COSTS BY THE CONTRACTORS AS WELL. AND BUDGET WOULD BE AFFECTED FOR THE PROJECTS. AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, WE DON'T KNOW HOW FREQUENTLY WE'LL HAVE TO UPDATE THAT TO TO MAINTAIN IT. AND ALSO FOR THE PILOT PROJECT, BASED ON DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CAPITAL PROJECTS, IT WAS ALSO DECIDED THAT SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY UNKNOWNS, WE DO NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE PILOT PROJECT AS WELL.

>> ANYTHING. >> SORRY, I'M TALKING SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO I UNDERSTAND, I CAN UNDERSTAND THE THE HESITATION OR THE DECISION TO NOT MOVE FORWARD WITH THE COATINGS. HAVE WE WHAT? WHAT? WHAT HAS BEEN DETERMINED AS FAR AS ADDING MORE SHADE WITH TREES? WE KNOW THAT THAT AREAS THAT HAVE SHADE THAT THAT THE ACTUAL ASPHALT MAY HAS A LONGER LIFESPAN. WE KNOW THAT THAT WOULD HELP PEDESTRIANS NOT FEEL OVERHEATED. THAT COULD IT COULD EVEN HELP A LITTLE BIT WITH THE HEAT COMING UP OFF OF THE STREET. SO FOR ANY

[00:35:01]

>> WE HAVE NOT RESEARCHED THAT ASPECT, BUT STAFF WOULD CIRCLE BACK ON THAT BECAUSE STAFF WILL DISCUSS THIS WITH PLANNING. THEY HAVE A TREE CODE AND THEY LOOK INTO THAT AND WE CAN DISCUSS WITH PLANNING AND PERHAPS AS A NEXT ITEM, THEY CAN BE HERE TO TO ADDRESS THAT.

>> OKAY. >> I THINK THAT'D BE INTERESTING.

>> YES, MA'AM. >> JUST ADD A LITTLE BIT OF COLOR TO THAT. WE ON DENTON DEVELOPMENT CODE REVIEW COMMITTEE, WE DID DO A LITTLE BIT OF TALKING WITH THE URBAN FORESTRY GROUP, AND THEY, I THINK THEY GAVE US A PRICE ON HOW MUCH WE SHOULD BE SPENDING EVERY YEAR TO GET TO THE GOAL THAT WE HAVE, WHICH I'M GOING TO FORGET ALL MY SPECIFIC NUMBERS, BUT THERE IS SORT OF THAT THE GOAL. AND THEN THERE'S THE DO YOU HAVE THE FUNDING FOR IT? AND TRYING TO NAVIGATE ALL OF THAT HAS HAS CERTAINLY BEEN CHALLENGING. BUT I MEAN, EVERYTHING I'VE BEEN READING IS, IS MORE FOCUSED ON IN TERMS OF COOL PAVEMENT OR WHATEVER IS, IS MORE FOCUSED ON THE SHADE AND LESS ON THE DOING FANCY THINGS WITH THE PAVEMENT ITSELF.

YEAH. >> I WOULD JUST ADD, WE'RE SEEING OTHER CITIES IN TEXAS THAT HAVE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF HEAT SAN ANTONIO, AUSTIN, HOUSTON. WE ARE NOW, I BELIEVE, ENTERING A TIME WHEN SHADE IS INFRASTRUCTURE. WE PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO GO WALK. IF WE COULD BUILD ALL THE SIDEWALKS THAT WE COULD POSSIBLY NEED IN THIS CITY. BUT IF IT'S TOO HOT FOR FOR ELDERLY, FOR YOUNG PEOPLE, FOR MOMS PUSHING STROLLERS AND THE HEAT, YOU KNOW, IS 140 DEGREES ON A SIDEWALK, IMAGINE THAT COMING UP INTO A, A STROLLER. NOBODY'S GOING TO EVEN USE THIS VERY EXPENSIVE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'RE WANTING TO PUT IN. SO I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE STAFF AND COUNCIL TO JUST REALLY REMEMBER, LIKE SHADE IS PART OF IS A HUGE PART OF, IN MY OPINION, HUGE PART OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO HOPEFULLY LET PEOPLE EVEN USE, USE THE INFRASTRUCTURE THAT WE'VE GOT TO MAKE IT MORE COMFORTABLE AND, AND ENJOYABLE.

>> YEAH. >> GOOD. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. THEN WE'LL.

>> JUMP TO OUR FUTURE ITEMS MATRIX. >> SO AGAIN, WE GOT A TON OF ITEMS KNOCKED OFF THE LIST. THIS TIME IT'S MY GOAL TO GET THIS TO ZERO ONE TIME. WHO KNOWS IF IT'LL EVER HAPPEN. BUT SO AGAIN, WE, I KNOW OF A FEW THAT WE TALKED ABOUT ADDING TODAY. SO WE'LL GET THOSE INCLUDED. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON ANY OF THESE.

>> ANYTHING TO REMOVE HERE. YES, MA'AM. >> I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY I'M HAPPY TO REMOVE THE ONES THAT HAVE YESES. AND I NOTICED THE EFFORT TO KNOCK A LOT OF THESE OUT THAT HAVE JUST BEEN LINGERING. SO WELL DONE. I MEAN, WE CAN AT LEAST HAVE A SHORTER LIST. SO, I MEAN, I HAVE NOTHING TO ADD TODAY AND I SUPPORT REMOVING THE ONES

YOU'VE PROPOSED. >> AND JUST AS A REMINDER, I DON'T KNOW IF WE COVERED IT, BUT WE DON'T NEED A FORMAL VOTE ANY LONGER. JUST IF, IF YOU WANT TO KEEP ANYTHING OR, OR WE

MISS ANYTHING ELSE THAT NEEDS TO COME BACK. >> SO I'M HEARING WE LOSE THE

LOSE THE LESSONS, THE YESES, AND KEEP THE BOTTOM TWO ITEMS. >> WELL, WE.

>> WE MIGHT REWORK THE, THE PEDESTRIAN, THE SIDEWALKS AT THE DENTON SHOPPING CENTER. I THINK WE WERE DISCUSSING THAT. RIGHT. SO WE WOULD NOT REMOVE THAT ONE OR WE COULD REWORK IT

A LITTLE BIT. >> YEAH, I THINK IT WAS MORE OF A REWORK.

>> OKAY. >> SO IF YOU'RE OKAY WITH IT, I THINK IT WOULD BE OUR PREFERENCE TO CLEAR IT AND THEN ADD IN A NEW ITEM FOR THE MORE SPECIFIC REQUEST. SIMILAR WITH THE DME KIND OF STREET LIGHTING, CLEAR THE ONES THAT ARE SITTING THERE AND COME BACK WITH THE

WITH THE NEW REQUEST IS. >> AND SAME THING FOR THE BIKE RACK. WHAT WERE WE SAYING? I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WE WERE. WE THOUGHT ABOUT RE TALKING ABOUT THAT AGAIN OR HAVING YOU SAID

MAYBE HAVE. >> ORDERED SOME LOCATIONS. >> YEAH.

>> WE'LL ALSO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION ON THAT AND AND THEN WE'LL BE ABLE TO LOOK INTO

THE CRITERIA AND SEE. >> OKAY. >> WHAT WORKS?

>> CHAIR. THE ONLY THING I THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE ADDING, AND I KNOW THIS MIGHT SEEM KIND OF OUT OF LEFT FIELD, BUT I, I LIKE TO GO THROUGH AND SEE I'M NOT ABLE TO ATTEND ALL OF THE MEETINGS, BUT I WAS ABLE TO LOOK THROUGH, I BELIEVE IT WAS THE MEETING FROM THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. THEY HAD A PRESENTATION RECENTLY ABOUT THEIR. THEY HAVE A PROJECT.

[00:40:04]

AGENDA? >> SURE. I GUESS PERHAPS SOMEONE FROM THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, WOULD THAT BE A GOOD AVENUE TO, TO, TO CONNECT WITH BUSINESSES?

>> I MEAN, I WOULD, I WOULD THINK WHOEVER AND I'M NOT I DON'T HAVE THE WHOLE PRESENTATION PULLED UP. I COULD PASS THIS ALONG, BUT MAYBE WHOEVER PRESENTED THIS, I THINK IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE CHAMBER WHO HELPED WITH THIS PROJECT, BUT I THINK IT WAS SOMEONE ON STAFF TOO. SO I DON'T KNOW. WAS ANYBODY THERE OR DID ANYONE KNOW WHAT ELSE I'M TALKING

ABOUT? OKAY, SORRY. >> I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO HEAR FROM WHOEVER IS KNOWLEDGEABLE.

PROBABLY NOBODY IN THIS ROOM, REALLY. SOMEBODY ON THE MORE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT BUSINESS SIDE. BUT HERE FROM AN OUTSIDE SPEAKER, COULD BE STAFF TO TALK ABOUT HOW ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AND TRANSPORTATION TIE IN TOGETHER BOTH MOVING OF GOODS AND MOVING OF PEOPLE AND WORKFORCE ATTRACTION, AFFORDABILITY, THAT KIND OF THING. I WOULD BE CURIOUS TO TO HEAR A PRESENTATION LIKE THAT FROM AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PERSPECTIVE.

>> CAN YOU FACILITATE THAT? >> YEAH, I THINK WE CAN CIRCLE UP AND AND SEE HOW WE CAN CONDENSE THAT MOBILITY FOCUS IN, AND THEN WORK WITH BRITTANY AND THE CHAMBER TEAM TO, TO SEE

WHAT WE CAN BRING BACK. >> I WOULD THINK THE CHAMBER WOULD BE A GOOD A GOOD FIRST

START. I MEAN, THEY'RE IN THE BUSINESS OF BUSINESS. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY.

>> OKAY. OKAY. ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. >> ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL SO

MUCH. >> OUR NEXT MEETING. >> OCTOBER 28TH, 10 A.M. RIGHT

HERE. >> BE THERE. YEAH. >> I JUST HAD ONE CONCLUDING

[3. CONCLUDING ITEMS]
