4:23 ↗ I know we actually don't have anybody

4:27 ↗ called in for public comment but

4:29 ↗ Cynthia's noted that she she was like to

4:31 ↗ actually speak for public comment okay

4:36 ↗ yes and I'm I would also like to her

4:39 ↗ housekeeping remind everybody to

4:41 ↗ announce who you are your name and when

4:54 ↗ and you have the floor okay

4:57 ↗ my name is Cynthia crass and I live in

4:59 ↗ downtown Issaquah I just want to say a

5:01 ↗ few words about what's been happening

5:04 ↗ lately the killing of George Floyd has

5:07 ↗ set off a response like we've never seen

5:08 ↗ before which white people are finally

5:11 ↗ beginning to reevaluate what it means to

5:13 ↗ be racist and what it means to be

5:15 ↗ anti-racist I'm late to the party and

5:18 ↗ new with this probably know less about

5:20 ↗ this than anybody but I think it's

5:23 ↗ important to think about this a little

5:24 ↗ bit we don't need to be intentionally

5:26 ↗ carrying out acts against individuals to

5:29 ↗ be perpetuating systemic racism much of

5:33 ↗ the guiding language in our MMP includes

5:35 ↗ aspirational comments about achieving

5:36 ↗ equity in general we need to examine our

5:39 ↗ work on transportation through the lens

5:41 ↗ of systemic racism and seek to

5:43 ↗ understand how our transportation system

5:45 ↗ contributes to it and to be more

5:47 ↗ explicit about racial inequity there's

5:50 ↗ much literature on the topic and I

5:52 ↗ suggest that we all try to get more

5:54 ↗ educated on this topic I don't have any

5:56 ↗ specific literature to recommend but I

5:58 ↗ found a well Joyce is just by searching

6:00 ↗ racism and transportation in a google

6:03 ↗ search there's a lot of material there

6:05 ↗ and I think like to really encourage us

6:08 ↗ to think deeply about that thank you

6:13 ↗ Cinthia

6:15 ↗ any other audience comments Stephen did

6:17 ↗ you give any other emails or messaging

6:23 ↗ therefore close public comments at 6:00

6:27 ↗ 11:00 p.m.

6:29 ↗ if you're ready we'll go into the

6:31 ↗ regular agenda items for this evening

6:32 ↗ first of which is the election of the

6:34 ↗ chair and vice-chair and for the record

6:37 ↗ I'll read in to from the agenda packet

6:40 ↗ what it is we're doing as required by

6:43 ↗ the transportation Advisory boards rules

6:45 ↗ and regulations article 3 section 1

6:48 ↗ officers the tab is required to take

6:51 ↗ action on the chair and vice chair

6:53 ↗ positions each chair and vice chair will

6:55 ↗ serve a one-year term which ends on

6:58 ↗ April 30th of each year the board does

7:00 ↗ not have to has not set limits for

7:03 ↗ consecutive terms at the start of the

7:06 ↗ tab meeting I will solicit nominate

7:08 ↗ nominations that this section and

7:10 ↗ conduct an election for both offices due

7:15 ↗ to this year's unique circumstances

7:17 ↗ which were which required cancelling

7:20 ↗ multiple board meetings the city staff

7:23 ↗ had suggested that I 9ml again and

7:27 ↗ Cynthia crass continued to serve in the

7:29 ↗ seats that were in and we have both

7:31 ↗ spoken with the staff and said that we

7:33 ↗ would be willing to do that and at this

7:35 ↗ moment though I would call for a

7:38 ↗ nomination for chair and vice-chair

7:44 ↗ I I'd like to nominate Nina and Cynthia

7:49 ↗ her chair and course air vice chair

7:52 ↗ thank you sue yatta are there any other

7:56 ↗ nominations this evening

8:02 ↗ we have one nomination to vote on and

9:12 ↗ a bit easier when you have really great

9:13 ↗ staff so thank you to Stephen I wouldn't

9:16 ↗ have volunteered to go around another

9:18 ↗ round if we didn't have such a capable

9:20 ↗ competent staff so thank you

9:23 ↗ and of course Nina as the chair is a lot

9:27 ↗ easier to be this chair Thanks

9:30 ↗ well I certainly second what you said

9:32 ↗ about working with Steven and staff you

9:35 ↗ make our lives much easier and that's a

9:38 ↗ lot of work and really appreciate it

9:41 ↗ hey with that I think we can move on to

9:43 ↗ the next agenda item

9:45 ↗ the mobility master plan schedule and

9:47 ↗ for that we have Steven to do a senior

9:49 ↗ transportation planner in the city of

9:51 ↗ Issaquah where is your Steven all right

9:55 ↗ thank you so I am going to move to

10:00 ↗ sharing my screen now so if you want to

10:04 ↗ go back to the full view I can stop for

10:07 ↗ discussion just let me know and then I

10:09 ↗ will stop sharing my screen so we can

10:12 ↗ kind of go to the floor group discussion

10:19 ↗ so for the first item I'm going to

10:20 ↗ quickly give an update on our the master

10:23 ↗ plan schedule

10:28 ↗ can everybody see my screen now

10:32 ↗ you

10:38 ↗ so really quick I'm gonna go through

10:39 ↗ what we've gone what we've done to

10:42 ↗ develop them the mobility master plan in

10:46 ↗ early 2019 we all work together and work

10:50 ↗ in tend conversations with community to

10:52 ↗ work in developing our guiding

10:55 ↗ principles in all of 2019 we the staff

11:00 ↗ project team worked with our consultant

11:02 ↗ to develop the planning context and

11:04 ↗ future needs reports want some of the

11:07 ↗ materials that you had reviewed before

11:08 ↗ tonight we also spent a lot of time in

11:11 ↗ 2019 and then some of the time in early

11:14 ↗ 2020 to talk about a lot of the major

11:16 ↗ policies and criteria the other

11:18 ↗ materials that you saw tonight and then

11:21 ↗ with the project needs we had some

11:25 ↗ discussions when we were talking about

11:26 ↗ the major policies and gaps in our

11:29 ↗ system that helped informed a lot of the

11:31 ↗ needs in terms of the type of policies

11:34 ↗ we're going to use to identify new

11:35 ↗ projects and then we also had some some

11:40 ↗ short discussions about outline needs

11:42 ↗ when it comes to what the mobility

11:43 ↗ master plan should look like we we did

11:46 ↗ talk about items that you were expecting

11:50 ↗ to see in the mobility master plan but

11:52 ↗ also stuff that you felt like you didn't

11:54 ↗ actually need to see

12:00 ↗ with everything going on we've had to

12:03 ↗ cancel a lot of meetings so we've

12:06 ↗ actually had to make a huge update to

12:08 ↗ our schedule and it all starts with

12:10 ↗ having our meeting tonight being able to

12:13 ↗ give you time to review a lot of the

12:15 ↗ materials before we move to a full

12:19 ↗ public release of a draft in early July

12:21 ↗ and then that would be helping prepare

12:24 ↗ us for a July 28th study session with

12:27 ↗ the City Council and then in late August

12:29 ↗ early September we're gonna be moving

12:31 ↗ for City Council adoption the reason why

12:34 ↗ there's two timeframes there is because

12:37 ↗ we're really trying to aim for late

12:39 ↗ August but if we receive a lot of

12:41 ↗ feedback behind making edits for the

12:43 ↗ mobility master plan will probably be

12:45 ↗ aiming for that early September time

12:49 ↗ the

12:50 ↗ for today what I'm hoping to do when

12:53 ↗ we're going through all the materials is

12:54 ↗ to briefly talk about all all the items

12:59 ↗ that we've talked about before and with

13:02 ↗ all the majority of the items that you

13:04 ↗ reviewed for tonight you actually have

13:07 ↗ had conversations about what went into

13:09 ↗ them this is just the latest reiteration

13:14 ↗ of what we had talked about with

13:19 ↗ we've also a few weeks ago formed a tab

13:22 ↗ ad hoc committee to help with going

13:25 ↗ through some of these materials because

13:26 ↗ we're not going to be able to go into

13:27 ↗ very fine detail of what the wording is

13:31 ↗ how things look and what I'm hoping to

13:33 ↗ do is that have all the tab members

13:36 ↗ speak tonight and give directions in

13:38 ↗ this ad hoc committee so I can work a

13:40 ↗ little bit closer with them and refine a

13:42 ↗ lot of the materials before we get to

13:44 ↗ the public release and also with after

13:47 ↗ the public release when we're just

13:48 ↗ continuing the development of the final

13:51 ↗ draft you will also get the opportunity

13:55 ↗ and early July to comment on the full

13:57 ↗ draft that gets released and you also

14:01 ↗ have the public comment period for the

14:02 ↗ July 28th study session when City

14:05 ↗ Council

14:05 ↗ although all the McCaul the feedback

14:07 ↗ that weren't collecting tonight and all

14:08 ↗ the food that were collecting from the

14:10 ↗ community in early July will go to the

14:12 ↗ City Council and in late July and then

14:15 ↗ right now I'm working on trying to

14:16 ↗ schedule a early August board meeting so

14:20 ↗ that we could come back together I can

14:23 ↗ share with you all the feedback that

14:24 ↗ we've collected or receive from the

14:26 ↗ committee around the mobility master

14:28 ↗ plan and we could give our board can

14:33 ↗ give their recommendation to the City

14:35 ↗ Council meaning for the adoption whether

14:38 ↗ in late August or early September

14:41 ↗ you

14:45 ↗ questions before I move on to the next

14:46 ↗ agenda item

14:54 ↗ you

14:57 ↗ not seeing any so ina

15:05 ↗ thank you sorry I had to step out for a

15:08 ↗ moment my internet crashed Thank You

15:10 ↗ Steven and seeing no questions my dad

15:13 ↗ cleared but I don't see anything since I

15:15 ↗ got back in we'll move on to the next

15:18 ↗ agenda item the review of the mobility

15:21 ↗ master plan policies and prioritization

15:23 ↗ criteria this is a discussion item so

15:27 ↗ after Steven gives us a presentation

15:29 ↗ we'll have an opportunity to discuss

15:31 ↗ these things I might mention here this

15:35 ↗ will be a fairly lengthy presentation

15:39 ↗ and you might want to ask a question

15:42 ↗ while Steven goes along I'll try to

15:44 ↗ follow the chat and I think Steven will

15:47 ↗ too

15:47 ↗ let's see if somebody needs to chime in

15:49 ↗ are the way through or do you want to

15:50 ↗ just take little breaks at certain

15:52 ↗ sections so actually what I'm going to

15:54 ↗ do because a lot of the these first

15:57 ↗ items we've seen before I'm just gonna

16:00 ↗ briefly describe what they are and then

16:02 ↗ I'm gonna open the floor for all the tab

16:04 ↗ members to ask any quickly refined

16:06 ↗ questions or provide comment there's no

16:08 ↗ actual presentation for this but I won't

16:10 ↗ I can go actually go through the

16:12 ↗ criteria if that helps

16:16 ↗ an overview and help since we haven't

16:18 ↗ met since January and it would help our

16:20 ↗ audience as well sure

16:24 ↗ so for the project valuation criteria

16:28 ↗ and I'll share my screen so I just bring

16:30 ↗ it up

16:32 ↗ the project

16:35 ↗ there is

16:40 ↗ so the criteria is one of the main items

16:43 ↗ that we have seen before we first saw

16:46 ↗ late last summer and then again in the

16:49 ↗ fall when when we were talking about

16:51 ↗ refining the policies but also trying to

16:55 ↗ figure out what our priorities are the

16:56 ↗ way the privatisation criteria will be

16:59 ↗ used is to score the project list so we

17:03 ↗ actually have a prioritized project list

17:05 ↗ in the draft plan itself but it also

17:08 ↗ helps us look at new projects that we

17:10 ↗ come up with the future to determine how

17:13 ↗ well it's meeting our guiding principles

17:19 ↗ instead of trying to go through word

17:21 ↗ word-for-word train edits I'm hoping

17:26 ↗ that the tab members can provide a lot

17:28 ↗ more feedback to the ad hoc committee in

17:31 ↗ direction if if something doesn't seem

17:33 ↗ right or something needs any type of

17:35 ↗ edits

17:37 ↗ Stephen missus 9a Milligan can you

17:40 ↗ remind us in this particular context

17:43 ↗ what are the steps towards approval and

17:45 ↗ that timeframe for us to get those that

17:47 ↗ feedback to the ad hoc committee or to

17:50 ↗ you

17:52 ↗ right now it's just providing feedback

17:54 ↗ tonight

17:59 ↗ so right now I'll open the fort for

18:02 ↗ everybody to talk about any of the items

18:04 ↗ that either stand out for questions or

18:06 ↗ comments it helps if you say in chat

18:10 ↗ that you have a comment or a question

18:11 ↗ because then I can call on you if you

18:14 ↗ haven't is there anyone who would wish

18:17 ↗ to speak and remember to introduce

18:19 ↗ yourself when you begin

18:26 ↗ I'm not seeing anyone Steven but I have

18:28 ↗ a couple questions sure

18:29 ↗ let me ask them they've inspired some

18:32 ↗ others in in the criteria of scoring

18:37 ↗ questions there's a discussion about

18:40 ↗ capacity on arterioles and I just wanted

18:43 ↗ to understand the definition is that you

18:47 ↗ get it you get points for increasing

18:49 ↗ capacity on arterioles you get four

18:51 ↗ points does arterioles include collector

18:54 ↗ arterioles

19:01 ↗ even I'm assuming this is Kendra

19:04 ↗ Breeland I'm with the consultant team

19:06 ↗ Dyna I don't actually have an answer to

19:10 ↗ that but I'd be happy to try to see if I

19:12 ↗ can get an answer to that

19:14 ↗ during the meeting or we will follow up

19:17 ↗ shortly it's a really good question do

19:20 ↗ you have a preference one way or the

19:22 ↗ other that might help us as well well

19:26 ↗ they are there seem to be quite

19:27 ↗ different roads and I would I would like

19:31 ↗ to know that in many cases without

19:36 ↗ looking at the map right now is in this

19:38 ↗ meeting it does not appear to me that

19:42 ↗ collector arterioles should have

19:43 ↗ increased capacity but I'm not I'm not

19:45 ↗ looking at the full inventory so I'm not

19:47 ↗ sure but that's kind of the way I was

19:48 ↗ leaving the reason for my question I'm

19:51 ↗ gonna look at it I suspect that we're

19:53 ↗ not using collector materials if it is

19:55 ↗ like true arterioles and above is what

19:58 ↗ we're looking at the capacity because

20:00 ↗ those are more those are the facilities

20:02 ↗ that really are people more regionally

20:05 ↗ estimations but we will pin to that and

20:08 ↗ either respond back during the meeting

20:10 ↗ or shortly thereafter

20:14 ↗ Kendra and I see that Coby has a

20:17 ↗ question would you like to have the

20:18 ↗ floor Coby are you ready

20:21 ↗ yes so my name is coby I was just

20:24 ↗ wondering this isn't a concern just a

20:26 ↗ general question I'm looking at the

20:28 ↗ criteria there's like 72 points and

20:35 ↗ um we're

20:37 ↗ singing injuries is only like is only 18

20:39 ↗ points so if there was a project that

20:41 ↗ might not be the most efficient but

20:43 ↗ would reduce injuries dramatically do

20:45 ↗ you think there's enough point

20:47 ↗ allocation towards those projects to get

20:49 ↗ them evaluated a high enough level to

20:52 ↗ actually get the project's done

20:58 ↗ you

21:01 ↗ I need a mute yes when we've had the

21:05 ↗ discussions about how to best balance

21:07 ↗ the points for the criteria we did

21:10 ↗ actually increase the the scoring to

21:13 ↗ where it is now because originally we

21:16 ↗ were trying to have it balanced with the

21:17 ↗ next criteria down but we added more

21:19 ↗ points because we we understood that

21:21 ↗ safety was a little bit higher priority

21:23 ↗ if the board would like to look at

21:26 ↗ increasing now we can take a look at

21:29 ↗ that and to rebalance the scoring

21:36 ↗ nobody does that answer your question

21:39 ↗ thank you

21:41 ↗ and yes are there any other questions I

21:44 ↗ don't see anyone in the chat but is

21:46 ↗ there anyone just

21:50 ↗ nope I don't see anyone I want to thank

21:53 ↗ you Kobe for that question because that

21:54 ↗ relates to another question that I had

21:57 ↗ had Stephen and I had talked about how

21:59 ↗ do we score when you haven't had an

22:01 ↗ accident yet you know you would over the

22:06 ↗ course of time because it's a recognized

22:09 ↗ unsafe situation and so he's working on

22:13 ↗ adding to the scoring an opportunity for

22:16 ↗ recognition of public outcry or public

22:22 ↗ comments about the safety of a have a

22:25 ↗ intersection or of a place

22:28 ↗ I have one more comment for the board

22:30 ↗ and I'm gonna do this myself and just

22:33 ↗ didn't have enough time to really fully

22:34 ↗ do this but while I was looking at this

22:37 ↗ chart what I thought would be helpful to

22:38 ↗ me and I'm just gonna say it out loud in

22:40 ↗ case it's helpful to others is that

22:41 ↗ we've got our principals on one side and

22:43 ↗ then you go through the chart and you go

22:44 ↗ down the path to how many points do you

22:46 ↗ get for that and I think if I looked

22:50 ↗ back so the principal and see if those

22:53 ↗ points correspond with the principal and

22:57 ↗ that will give you a good filter to see

23:02 ↗ whether the scoring which is the the

23:04 ↗ ultimate product satisfies a principal

23:09 ↗ that we're trying to achieve continue to

23:14 ↗ look at those and soon Stephen your

23:15 ↗ feedback after the meeting so that he

23:18 ↗ can finish that up

23:20 ↗ Stephen then are we ready to move on to

23:22 ↗ the next part of this section of the

23:26 ↗ agenda so now I can jump into the

23:31 ↗ policies yeah

23:37 ↗ so for the policies very similar to the

23:39 ↗ criteria we looked at them almost

23:41 ↗ parallel with the whole development of

23:44 ↗ this entire plan we and I'll just show

23:48 ↗ the front page of the memo

23:58 ↗ following the development of the guiding

24:00 ↗ principles we jumped into policy

24:03 ↗ development we initially started with

24:06 ↗ modal policies to talk about how we want

24:09 ↗ to approach different modes of travel or

24:11 ↗ different options travel of getting

24:13 ↗ around the city and then we moved into

24:15 ↗ more overarching policies a lot of what

24:19 ↗ you read in the memo while you remember

24:21 ↗ from our meetings which we've had we had

24:23 ↗ three meetings talking about the

24:25 ↗ policies late last summer late last fall

24:28 ↗ and then earlier this year we kind of

24:30 ↗ had a follow-up discussion on the

24:32 ↗ policies that are going master plan the

24:35 ↗ overarching policies though a little bit

24:37 ↗ different than the modal policies where

24:39 ↗ it's not just one particular mode of

24:42 ↗ travel that we're looking at and

24:44 ↗ particularly with safety and vision zero

24:46 ↗ it it really looks at all the different

24:49 ↗ modes of how people get around in pirate

24:51 ↗ and we're really looking at how to

24:53 ↗ prioritize safety under that overarching

24:55 ↗ policy and then additionally we also

24:59 ↗ talked about policies on climate change

25:01 ↗ and health and equity that unfortunately

25:04 ↗ we didn't have ready for this meeting

25:05 ↗ book they will that language will be

25:08 ↗ available in in the draft and to talk

25:10 ↗ about how that relates to transportation

25:12 ↗ even further so

25:17 ↗ just like the criteria I'm just doing

25:19 ↗ the brief review of what we've done and

25:23 ↗ a lot of the things that we talked about

25:26 ↗ I'm hoping that we can if there are

25:28 ↗ questions or comments we can point it to

25:31 ↗ the ad hoc committee to look at things a

25:33 ↗ little bit further

25:37 ↗ nine effect to you okay Thank You Steven

25:40 ↗ Oh so again I'm going to look for

25:43 ↗ questions or comments on the board on

25:46 ↗ this section the policies memo which

25:50 ↗ included not only safety but different

25:55 ↗ modes biped all those things and I have

25:59 ↗ a few questions but I'm looking for

26:00 ↗ someone to say in the chat that they

26:03 ↗ have a question or a comment

26:09 ↗ well until I see one I'll jump in and

26:12 ↗ ask a question Stephen on the safety

26:16 ↗ section we were just talking about how

26:19 ↗ in the criteria the criteria have

26:21 ↗ something for it identifying a an

26:24 ↗ intersection or a facility that is

26:26 ↗ unsafe and so in here that sort of

26:31 ↗ language would also have to be in this

26:33 ↗ policy too right when we make changes

26:36 ↗ they have to go back up to this

26:38 ↗ narrative

26:41 ↗ yes

26:45 ↗ waiting for somebody else to have a

26:47 ↗ question I have a few if you don't

26:51 ↗ I'm gonna go into pedestrian mode and

26:54 ↗ ask for you to remind me under was this

27:00 ↗ tr7

27:01 ↗ what what cheer it was chair - how did

27:05 ↗ we come to the standard of a

27:08 ↗ quarter-mile of sidewalks to a

27:13 ↗ destination

27:15 ↗ the quarter mile is a standard of

27:18 ↗ measurement for determining what's

27:20 ↗ actually walkable but when there's been

27:24 ↗ studies around how far people are

27:26 ↗ actually comfortable walking for a mile

27:27 ↗ is actually the distance that is used

27:34 ↗ basically around the country it's part

27:35 ↗ of the knack dough recommended or

27:37 ↗ federal recommendations related to what

27:39 ↗ we want to be welcome

27:43 ↗ yeah great Thank You Steven so you got

27:45 ↗ to have a question you have to introduce

27:47 ↗ yourself and you know the floor hi I'm

27:49 ↗ Sujata Goyal

27:51 ↗ so I actually also had a question about

27:53 ↗ the pedestrian edit and it could be that

27:56 ↗ I may be mixing things up but so in this

27:59 ↗ one it talks about so in our policy Tier

28:03 ↗ one streets have destroyed facilities on

28:06 ↗ both sides and then same with tier two

28:10 ↗ and I can't remember

28:12 ↗ so Newport you know near where Bellevue

28:17 ↗ is that part of Newport is that

28:19 ↗ considered Tier one like what size of a

28:23 ↗ street is that I'm curious and there's a

28:26 ↗ reason I'm asking something curious I

28:28 ↗ can't remember but I remember so right

28:31 ↗ now the way it's supposed to be built we

28:33 ↗ were going to put sidewalks on both

28:35 ↗ sides of the street and then at one of

28:38 ↗ our public comment periods one of the

28:40 ↗ RET you know a resident came and said if

28:43 ↗ you try to put sidewalks on both sides

28:45 ↗ of the street we're gonna create

28:46 ↗ significant environmental impact and can

28:50 ↗ we do sidewalks on one side and a

28:53 ↗ natural trail on the other and you know

28:56 ↗ I so we you know looking at the

29:00 ↗ conditions on the ground

29:01 ↗ we felt it made sense to require the

29:06 ↗ sidewalks on one side of the street and

29:10 ↗ not put them on the other side and I

29:13 ↗ guess what we're I'm getting to with

29:16 ↗ this is in these policies you know and

29:21 ↗ you know people love it or hate it do we

29:24 ↗ have and they are policies but as staff

29:27 ↗ you're gonna look at these and you're

29:29 ↗ gonna say okay in this situation I'm

29:31 ↗ supposed to do X Y do I have that

29:33 ↗ capacity so I guess the question is

29:36 ↗ right now at the level at which these

29:38 ↗ policies are being written they provide

29:42 ↗ some guidance but they still are

29:45 ↗ I mean they're they're still pretty bad

29:47 ↗ there's still you know kind of maybe

29:50 ↗ 5,000 7,000 square-foot level and I'm

29:52 ↗ just wondering do they provide you all

29:54 ↗ enough guidance that if a resident came

29:58 ↗ to you a staff level who's trying to

30:00 ↗ determine the design just say hey this

30:03 ↗ is the scenario would you feel that you

30:05 ↗ have enough guidance to move away from

30:10 ↗ something that these policies are saying

30:12 ↗ based on the conditions on the ground

30:14 ↗ and if not is there a is there aspect

30:19 ↗ you know is there an additional tool you

30:20 ↗ need is there some sort of

30:22 ↗ decision-making framework you need for

30:24 ↗ things that don't fit in the box nicely

30:27 ↗ that we want to add to the policies to

30:30 ↗ allow for transparent and flexible

30:34 ↗ decision-making inside the organization

30:37 ↗ to be able to implement these

30:42 ↗ that was a really long question I

30:43 ↗ apologize

30:47 ↗ be given it's yours to answer Thank You

30:50 ↗ Sujata okay it sounds like there's two

30:53 ↗ parts to your question the first beam do

30:56 ↗ we have what we need to answer the

30:58 ↗ question particularly then we'll use

31:00 ↗ Newport as an example but the answer is

31:02 ↗ yes and if a new resident were to come

31:05 ↗ to us and ask us is it going to be one

31:08 ↗ facility or what type of facility or is

31:10 ↗ it - two facilities in what type the

31:13 ↗ answer is it's gonna be one type of

31:14 ↗ facility for that major arterial outside

31:17 ↗ of the central his qua area the type of

31:21 ↗ facility will be based on the context on

31:25 ↗ the ground so four areas of Newport

31:27 ↗ where you have a little more density of

31:30 ↗ neighborhood being developed we're

31:32 ↗ probably going to be looking at a wider

31:33 ↗ facility like accommodate that type of

31:36 ↗ pedestrian volume if it's a little more

31:39 ↗ spread out where you have one driveway

31:42 ↗ going up the hill and all the residences

31:46 ↗ are up the hill and not necessarily

31:47 ↗ directly on Newport it's probably not

31:50 ↗ going to be as wide of a facility

31:51 ↗ because if the demand really isn't there

31:55 ↗ almost the communities is asking for it

31:58 ↗ now Newport is kind of unique because we

32:01 ↗ also have connections trail system we

32:03 ↗ have the mountain town Greenway Trail so

32:08 ↗ the facility is going to be reflecting

32:10 ↗ that - so actually on once that really

32:13 ↗ could be 10 12 foot wide walkway of some

32:17 ↗ kind we're multi-purpose trail to be

32:21 ↗ able to provide that now whether or not

32:23 ↗ we have enough and then the other part

32:25 ↗ of your question was do we have enough

32:26 ↗ tools to make changes or be a little

32:28 ↗ more transparent my answer is yes but

32:32 ↗ I'll ask Kendra to chip in on because

32:36 ↗ we've talked about a lot of different

32:37 ↗ policy other direction we can go with

32:39 ↗ the posts at least the language that we

32:40 ↗ have so I appreciate that question can

32:43 ↗ you guys hear me thank you sure okay

32:46 ↗ cool made me feel I'm almost like just

32:51 ↗ left my mic on they don't like the

32:53 ↗ beeping every time I come off I feel

32:55 ↗ like that's distracting for you all the

32:59 ↗ I think

33:00 ↗ you know Steven you know I appreciate

33:02 ↗ you we're developing policy citywide so

33:05 ↗ that makes it tricky and I think Sujata

33:08 ↗ I think you're you bring up a good point

33:10 ↗ that there are different local contexts

33:12 ↗ that exist within the city that do

33:15 ↗ necessitate different types of

33:16 ↗ treatments something that I think would

33:19 ↗ be an enhancement that we could make to

33:20 ↗ the policy framework based on the input

33:22 ↗ or receiving tonight would be to write

33:25 ↗ in kind of just some some more

33:27 ↗ discretionary language so then this is

33:29 ↗ the general intent however you know the

33:33 ↗ staff do have the discretion to modify

33:37 ↗ you know in certain cases where more

33:39 ↗ warranted that you can provide an

33:41 ↗ equivalent facility I think you're

33:42 ↗ providing a great example where we might

33:44 ↗ have a policy that suggests something on

33:47 ↗ both sides of the street but maybe you

33:48 ↗ can provide something that's much more

33:49 ↗ gracious on one side of the street in

33:51 ↗ some locations so we have worked with

33:56 ↗ cities to develop that sort of more it's

33:59 ↗ a flexible language and I think this is

34:01 ↗ warranted in that case and I would

34:03 ↗ actually point to the vehicular policies

34:05 ↗ we've already developed kind of that

34:07 ↗ level of flexibility so I think we could

34:09 ↗ enhance the pedestrian facilities to

34:11 ↗ provide similar levels of flexibility so

34:13 ↗ I appreciate that input that's something

34:15 ↗ is we're moving see that I'm sure showed

34:17 ↗ you we've got a very aggressive schedule

34:20 ↗ which we're excited about so I'm excited

34:23 ↗ about getting to an M&P with you guys

34:24 ↗ but these are kind of some of the touch

34:26 ↗ points that was really missed over these

34:28 ↗ last several months or what happens yeah

34:31 ↗ and I think you know ultimately like

34:33 ↗ when all of this is adopted we just want

34:35 ↗ to ensure that all of these

34:38 ↗ conversations etc provided the tools

34:41 ↗ that staff would need as they're sort of

34:44 ↗ going through the you know the slog of

34:46 ↗ designing and implementing projects that

34:49 ↗ when there is that gray area or that

34:52 ↗ variation they have the documentation

34:55 ↗ and the tools so if there is flexibility

34:58 ↗ like in our auto policy if there are

35:00 ↗ places where their flexibility is is

35:02 ↗ necessary being clear about what kind of

35:04 ↗ criteria we would you know like if it's

35:06 ↗ significant environmental impact or

35:08 ↗ super sloppy or cost for a little bit of

35:11 ↗ or you know whatever it may be that

35:13 ↗ we can provide that guidance and the

35:16 ↗ very you know and the circumstances

35:18 ↗ under which those variations could apply

35:24 ↗ excellent thank you sir Jetta and think

35:27 ↗ you can turn on Steven I'm not seeing

35:29 ↗ anyone else chime in in the chat window

35:32 ↗ you can say question or comment over

35:35 ↗ there and I'll call on you I have just a

35:38 ↗ couple more questions I'll ask well I

35:39 ↗ give people an opportunity to get their

35:43 ↗ courage up this Steven aura Kendra the

35:46 ↗ question has to do with when we have

35:48 ↗ facilities in the policy for having

35:51 ↗ sidewalks on one side in the case of

35:54 ↗ Newport that's unique because it's an

35:56 ↗ open space on the other side but in some

35:59 ↗ cases there's a sidewalk on one side and

36:02 ↗ there are homes or streets or you know

36:04 ↗ other facilities on both sides it just

36:08 ↗ doesn't have the it doesn't qualify for

36:10 ↗ sidewalks on both sides if you only have

36:13 ↗ sidewalks on one side how do you handle

36:16 ↗ safely crossing and as there are

36:18 ↗ corresponding crossings policy for that

36:24 ↗ even your muted yep

36:29 ↗ thank you for bringing that matter

36:30 ↗ because it's important to highlight that

36:32 ↗ we have actually had those conversations

36:34 ↗ of updating the city's cross crossing

36:37 ↗ guidelines and all our crossing policies

36:40 ↗ and so that is updating that was with

36:45 ↗ the intent to kind of go with these

36:47 ↗ pedestrian way policy updates as well so

36:51 ↗ when you have sidewalk on one side in

36:54 ↗ the Unity crossing the looking at the

36:57 ↗ context of you know the road type what

37:00 ↗ the with the line the visuals are with -

37:03 ↗ I how far can you see is there

37:06 ↗ streetlights like that all is taken to

37:09 ↗ account of the type of crossing or

37:11 ↗ crossing enhancements that are going to

37:12 ↗ be me be able to allow people to cross

37:15 ↗ that road comfortably

37:23 ↗ thank you even looking for more our

37:26 ↗ people have questions I have a bunch of

37:27 ↗ questions and some of them are just

37:29 ↗ kinda technical about whether they

37:30 ↗ there's an error and a map or something

37:33 ↗ like that those kind of housekeeping

37:34 ↗ things I'll just keep for later but I

37:37 ↗ would ask about the let me ask about the

37:43 ↗ bicycle facility man to see if I inspire

37:45 ↗ something out of one of my colleagues

37:47 ↗ like so we can't hear you can we but one

37:52 ↗ of my questions is

37:55 ↗ exemplified in the bike nap that the

37:57 ↗ Issaquah fell city road going eastbound

38:01 ↗ east like some young boulevard is

38:04 ↗ considered a bike route

38:08 ↗ I would never ride my bike on that and

38:10 ↗ so it's red of course because it's got a

38:12 ↗ low level of safety right but how would

38:18 ↗ you ever and why would you ever when

38:20 ↗ there are alternatives even upgrade that

38:23 ↗ road to have a low low I'm you know high

38:25 ↗ level of safety feeling me again with

38:28 ↗ that metric goes

38:31 ↗ of traffic stress is the term and I know

38:36 ↗ you're very correct it is an extremely

38:39 ↗ high stress facility I think what we

38:43 ↗ struggled with as a team is identifying

38:46 ↗ all parallel alternatives so the walk

38:50 ↗ and roll plan was actually I think the

38:52 ↗ plan that identified that as a priority

38:55 ↗ corridor I agree with you that the cost

38:59 ↗ is a city to develop that into something

39:02 ↗ that's welcoming for really any

39:05 ↗ population is pretty astronomical so I

39:10 ↗ don't think we have any easy answers on

39:12 ↗ that and that's why we've identified it

39:13 ↗ as a very high stress facility within

39:16 ↗ and and quite candidly that's why we

39:21 ↗ don't have super aggressive measures to

39:24 ↗ fix it because we haven't heard that as

39:26 ↗ a priority

39:34 ↗ Thank You Kendra yeah and Tom

39:37 ↗ I don't think we're able to hear you do

39:39 ↗ you want to try to say something

39:41 ↗ hi this is Tina city clerk Steven can

39:45 ↗ you unmute the call in number for Tom I

39:49 ↗ think you are overriding him there we go

39:53 ↗ okay Tom your phone line jimena yes we

39:59 ↗ can perfect okay that's why I'm Ben elf

40:02 ↗ okay I'm going to ask one more favor I'm

40:05 ↗ going to ask Steven can you mute the

40:08 ↗ video screen for Tom so that we don't

40:11 ↗ have any shows so I connected without

40:15 ↗ audio when I came back in Oh perfect

40:17 ↗ Suzy oh you should be turned off on the

40:19 ↗ computer great we'll let you manage your

40:22 ↗ volume and Mike on the phone line and

40:26 ↗ Stephen go refrain from using that so

40:29 ↗ that we don't double mute you thank you

40:32 ↗ now yes and I'll be myself fun but I'm

40:35 ↗ not talking perfect thank you

40:38 ↗ and tom did you have anything that you

40:40 ↗ were just dying to say that you haven't

40:42 ↗ had a chance yet

40:43 ↗ yeah I'll just delete the typing and

40:46 ↗ we're talking about Newport Road

40:52 ↗ and I agree with you the dangerous road

40:54 ↗ I usually write on the inside of the

40:55 ↗ curb line going up so I kind of feel

40:58 ↗ that a it's a great location to have a

41:01 ↗ cycle track from 900 all the way up to a

41:05 ↗ lake Montebello Bard put it all on one

41:07 ↗ side

41:14 ↗ thank you Tom I don't see anyone else

41:18 ↗ unless Cynthia shake your head did you

41:20 ↗ want to say anything you just agreeing

41:21 ↗ no I had put some things in the chat are

41:24 ↗ they not coming up no I'm just wondering

41:27 ↗ if you would like to state your comment

41:29 ↗ please oh okay

41:32 ↗ so this is Cynthia and I had a comment

41:36 ↗ about level of traffic stress but before

41:39 ↗ I give that comment I just want to say

41:41 ↗ that it is a little bit challenging

41:43 ↗ because we have a lot of documents and

41:45 ↗ we have a lot of overlapping content and

41:47 ↗ the video call makes it hard to toggle

41:50 ↗ between the different documents so it's

41:53 ↗ hard to know exactly when to make what

41:55 ↗ comment so I'll just throw this out

41:58 ↗ there and I don't know which memo it

42:00 ↗ belongs which thing it belongs in but I

42:03 ↗ did have some notes when I reviewed the

42:05 ↗ materials forgotten which document it

42:07 ↗ was the level of traffic stress

42:09 ↗ regarding so that map I'm gonna look at

42:13 ↗ it now so my comments about that were I

42:17 ↗ don't think anything is steep so I see

42:21 ↗ Park Drive so I'm not sure if this is

42:23 ↗ the right time for this but when I did

42:25 ↗ study that map and I do write all these

42:27 ↗ streets and I don't think anything as

42:28 ↗ steep as Park Drive should ever be green

42:33 ↗ I mean I ride a lot and that's a scary

42:38 ↗ are you referring to sentence we can

42:41 ↗ look at the same one Clark Park Drive

42:43 ↗ coming down from Highland you know when

42:46 ↗ you're coming good the pictures a figure

42:49 ↗ three a level of traffic stress on bike

42:51 ↗ priority corridors it's so there were I

42:57 ↗ had a couple comments about this the

42:59 ↗ rating the LTS rating or whatever the

43:01 ↗ the the actual quantifiable number so I

43:05 ↗ don't feel like anything that steep

43:08 ↗ should ever be anything less than a

43:13 ↗ three

43:14 ↗ and then I think some of them that are

43:16 ↗ threes are actually bores or just like

43:21 ↗ they're just terrible places to ride and

43:23 ↗ one of them is State Route nine hundred

43:26 ↗ and another one is the sunset

43:28 ↗ interchange which is one of my big pet

43:32 ↗ peeves because it connects to a lot of

43:34 ↗ green and that is the intersection when

43:37 ↗ you are at sunset and you have to cross

43:39 ↗ over a Nike it's treacherous and I see a

43:44 ↗ little tiny red dot there between the

43:47 ↗ green and yeah around the highway there

43:51 ↗ but anyway there

43:52 ↗ that's a terrible so I'm just wondering

43:56 ↗ if just like we have like level of

43:59 ↗ service basically failure it feels like

44:03 ↗ we should acknowledge some places where

44:05 ↗ it's just never going to be a great

44:07 ↗ place to ride

44:10 ↗ like maybe it's a koala fall city road

44:13 ↗ but some of these other ones anyway so I

44:14 ↗ had some those were my specific comments

44:17 ↗ on the level of traffic stress is that

44:21 ↗ clear enough I agree with the 900 I was

44:25 ↗ looking for the sunset one that you were

44:28 ↗ referring to

44:30 ↗ so as you travel westbound on sunset and

44:34 ↗ you make your way across I 90 at that

44:39 ↗ ring you pick up the trail there the sea

44:45 ↗ can see if you can you zoom into that

44:47 ↗ area

44:49 ↗ you won't be able to see what the

44:52 ↗ problem is

44:53 ↗ it's basically area it's a it's a design

44:59 ↗ on both sides of a 90s you're trying to

45:06 ↗ and I noticed there's a little red dot

45:08 ↗ or a little red extended dot and that is

45:12 ↗ I'm not sure what that refers to but

45:15 ↗ that whole thing is quite treacherous so

45:18 ↗ I'm not sure if the intent to that it's

45:19 ↗ for everybody to go underneath I 90 or

45:22 ↗ underneath the chamber and take the

45:25 ↗ trail all of it to the top and that

45:26 ↗ would be the main by corridor going up

45:28 ↗ to the top and I'm telling you that

45:30 ↗ Raylan not on the street

45:31 ↗ I'm telling you can you can't the trail

45:33 ↗ doesn't go all the way you cross on it

45:35 ↗ on the surface that goes over i-90 and

45:40 ↗ it's so it's sort of partially captured

45:44 ↗ with a little bit red but that whole

45:45 ↗ thing is pretty red yeah the trail

45:49 ↗ essentially ends at the crosswalk over

45:51 ↗ the i-90 off-ramp in the crosswalk dumps

45:57 ↗ you right into a blind intersection

45:59 ↗ where people are coming off i-90 if

46:01 ↗ they're heading up to the Sammamish

46:02 ↗ plateau they're making a channel turn

46:04 ↗ going right and there's a bunch of

46:07 ↗ bushes and every single time I cross

46:10 ↗ that I am terrified okay I'm not sure if

46:14 ↗ that's what that little red thing is but

46:15 ↗ on both sides of it it's it's terrible

46:19 ↗ and that's when I think that should be

46:21 ↗ fixed but then nine I made a point like

46:24 ↗ why would you descend this cool Fall

46:26 ↗ City Road where there's so many other

46:27 ↗ options and so there may be ones that we

46:30 ↗ just decided not to it doesn't make

46:35 ↗ sense to invest there but

46:37 ↗ any rate the main point I wanted to make

46:39 ↗ was I don't think that anything that has

46:41 ↗ a steep grade should be wonderful you

46:43 ↗ and then I think that nine hundred

46:47 ↗ should be four and maybe the set section

46:53 ↗ I don't know anyway

46:56 ↗ okay so I'll get together with Farrah

46:59 ↗ piers that look a little bit closer to

47:00 ↗ make sure that the grades are being

47:03 ↗ reflected on

47:05 ↗ and I think the only other point that I

47:07 ↗ would add to that Stephen and I think

47:09 ↗ this been made although it wasn't

47:10 ↗ stressed as much it's just interchange

47:12 ↗ is in general are just really scary

47:14 ↗ places to bite so I do want to stress at

47:17 ↗ the level of traffic stress is a bad way

47:21 ↗ of saying that but anyways that

47:22 ↗ methodology it uses certain variables on

47:27 ↗ the whole for segments it does pretty

47:29 ↗ good job helping you to get a good sense

47:32 ↗ of you know how does it feel from a

47:34 ↗ bicycle standpoint again unfortunately

47:37 ↗ we can't bike every single street in

47:39 ↗ Issaquah and give it a unique score

47:42 ↗ based on that though that would be best

47:44 ↗ practice but again that's not you know

47:46 ↗ within our scope of work

47:47 ↗ however what I would say is you know I

47:51 ↗ think for interchanges there's a lot of

47:53 ↗ other stressful factors that aren't

47:55 ↗ being captured in the methodology and I

47:58 ↗ think it would be good to recognize and

48:01 ↗ your point on grade as well take it I

48:04 ↗ believe we put some some consideration

48:07 ↗ into grades but we'll look into that

48:09 ↗ must even a little more closely okay one

48:13 ↗ last comment and that's um I think that

48:16 ↗ one thing that's not reflected on the

48:17 ↗ Newport way is it has really good

48:18 ↗ line-of-sight

48:19 ↗ it's not a terrible place to ride a bike

48:21 ↗ because of the long stretch of

48:24 ↗ straightaway it's got very good

48:25 ↗ line-of-sight I don't have any problem

48:26 ↗ riding I would call it a more of a three

48:28 ↗ or four Cynthia thank you did that

48:35 ↗ capture the question you put in the

48:38 ↗ queue that I messed up earlier in the

48:40 ↗ thank you agree the long stretch from

48:46 ↗ pretty much sunset all the way down that

48:50 ↗ portion okay

48:52 ↗ I'd agree I have a question for

48:55 ↗ everybody and that is that it seems that

48:58 ↗ the LTS chart is based on the walk and

49:01 ↗ roll priority bike corridors and one of

49:04 ↗ the things that were I'm hearing myself

49:06 ↗ and some others say is that we're

49:08 ↗ questioning he where a doors that were

49:13 ↗ outlined in the walk and roll plan what

49:16 ↗ would you do if you you know

49:19 ↗ basing this on an earlier policy but if

49:21 ↗ the earlier policy is faulty like the

49:23 ↗ elsevier out what it was he then

49:26 ↗ even you want try to answer that

49:33 ↗ I would say well then we go to update

49:36 ↗ the rock and roll band well we should

49:38 ↗ take another look at all the corridors

49:41 ↗ but that wasn't for hauling the Walker

49:45 ↗ roll that wasn't a part of this the

49:47 ↗ scope of this project this was primarily

49:49 ↗ looking at all the priorities in the

49:51 ↗ policy so that is something that we can

49:53 ↗ take a look at ultimately because the

49:55 ↗ Walker role plan was done several years

49:57 ↗ ago I mean it's gonna need another look

49:59 ↗ following the adoption of the mobility

50:01 ↗ master plan

50:06 ↗ all right thank you I don't any further

50:08 ↗ sorry this is Tom when you say take

50:11 ↗ another look does that mean looking at

50:12 ↗ all the connections or type of

50:14 ↗ connections

50:16 ↗ yes

50:20 ↗ you

50:22 ↗ hey anybody else any further questions

50:24 ↗ Tom do you have any more

50:29 ↗ no I do not Stephen I think we might be

50:33 ↗ able to move from this item if you want

50:37 ↗ to summarize a little bit before you go

50:39 ↗ into the next item the next item is the

50:43 ↗ mill building master plan outline when

50:46 ↗ I'm in context and future needs

50:47 ↗ assessment Cynthia has one last question

50:51 ↗ actually oh there you go

50:54 ↗ had my head down readin it's her to

50:57 ↗ monitor chat and renovating together at

50:59 ↗ the same time um so again honestly I

51:02 ↗ don't know where to put this well

51:04 ↗ there's a lot of different documents and

51:05 ↗ I'm just gonna lay it out there and

51:09 ↗ that's I can tie it to some of the

51:12 ↗ specific documents um I made some notes

51:16 ↗ when I was reading them but there's

51:18 ↗ really kind of an overall thing that

51:20 ↗ touches a few different things it's in

51:21 ↗ the policy memo about transportation and

51:23 ↗ about parking and I want to know if and

51:28 ↗ again I think we've seen a lot of these

51:30 ↗ materials this may be a new thought and

51:32 ↗ I've missed it in the past again

51:35 ↗ it's hard to keep track but what I want

51:37 ↗ to know is for transit that's outside

51:42 ↗ Sound Transit do we have any influence

51:45 ↗ over the Park & Ride facilities that

51:49 ↗ would be around those because I think we

51:55 ↗ really want to examine the

52:00 ↗ there's several it touches several

52:01 ↗ things including equity about investing

52:04 ↗ in parking structures around transit

52:07 ↗ there's a lot of I just remember in

52:09 ↗ planning school a lot of literature

52:11 ↗ around what happens to big transit areas

52:17 ↗ when there's park and rides for example

52:20 ↗ versus other kinds of development around

52:22 ↗ and I think that if we're serious about

52:25 ↗ equity and we're serious about you know

52:29 ↗ climate change and carbon emissions and

52:32 ↗ all those things and we should seriously

52:33 ↗ take a look at whether we want Park and

52:36 ↗ Ride facilities at new light rail I'm

52:40 ↗ not sure where to hitch consider what

52:42 ↗ different hooks to put this comment in

52:45 ↗ but I think that it's a habit and the

52:50 ↗ demand is here now to be able to ditch

52:53 ↗ your car at a parking right so you can

52:55 ↗ drive to your job or you can take

52:56 ↗ transit during peak hours to your job in

52:59 ↗ Seattle which is great and it's a great

53:02 ↗ place to start for a region but if you

53:04 ↗ think 10 20 30 years I just think that's

53:08 ↗ that's investing in an old way of

53:11 ↗ thinking about transportation and

53:13 ↗ thinking about communities and I don't

53:16 ↗ know exactly where to lodge this comment

53:20 ↗ but I noticed that some comments in the

53:22 ↗ policy memo and there was

53:24 ↗ I don't know I wrote it to page 23 and I

53:27 ↗ don't remember what document so it kind

53:30 ↗ of touches a few of these documents that

53:31 ↗ we've been presented with so sorry this

53:35 ↗ is Sujata so Cynthia are you talking

53:37 ↗ about things like instead of doing just

53:39 ↗ you know massive Perkin rides at these

53:41 ↗ transit centers are you talking about

53:43 ↗ like transit oriented development and

53:45 ↗ that kind of stuff is that cuz I like it

53:48 ↗ if you you know I would have don't

53:51 ↗ right what else

53:54 ↗ but transit was it's gonna turn into a

53:56 ↗ parking right here a place to ditch your

53:58 ↗ car so I'm I'm not directly promoting

54:01 ↗ transit oriented development but I

54:03 ↗ suppose by challenging the concept of

54:06 ↗ massive parking rides I don't know of

54:09 ↗ other things that are done with transit

54:12 ↗ stop the land-use around transit stops

54:14 ↗ so I think it's an indirect way of

54:16 ↗ saying transit oriented development but

54:21 ↗ you know we in the suburbs have this

54:22 ↗ habit of building these monstrous

54:24 ↗ facilities and they're expensive they're

54:26 ↗ free the demand seat

54:32 ↗ it's the supply I'm sorry and and and

54:35 ↗ they're most likely some of the most you

54:39 ↗ know these are people who are employed

54:41 ↗ they go to work every single day so they

54:42 ↗ have a job and they are probably more

54:45 ↗ likely to be they probably index high at

54:48 ↗ higher income levels than general

54:50 ↗ transit users so we give them this thing

54:52 ↗ for free and it costs a fortune and the

54:57 ↗ supply is not cannot keep up with demand

55:00 ↗ it's just all broken to me and becoming

55:04 ↗ a destination location for a

55:06 ↗ park-and-ride for everybody coming in

55:08 ↗ disqualify own into parking right as a

55:10 ↗ destination point they catch some sort

55:12 ↗ of transit you'd like to see I'm just

55:16 ↗ disappointed question is how to get

55:18 ↗ people there to get the transit without

55:19 ↗ having have their car to get there in a

55:22 ↗ way yes and there's a lot of information

55:27 ↗ about what happens you know ten and

55:29 ↗ twenty years after big transit stop has

55:33 ↗ big park and ride versus some other

55:35 ↗ kinds of like just more like what you

55:38 ↗ and Sujata are talking about and that's

55:40 ↗ what I want to make sure that we're

55:42 ↗ thinking about I don't know if we even

55:43 ↗ have that I mean is that is that even in

55:46 ↗ this in our scope with with regard to I

55:50 ↗ was looking at some of the principles

55:51 ↗ about preparing for you know for light

55:54 ↗ rail and that sort of thing I mean is

55:56 ↗ this

55:58 ↗ so I guess I'm just wondering if there's

56:01 ↗ even a place for this kind I mean

56:03 ↗ there's two questions one is what does

56:05 ↗ everyone else think and the other is is

56:06 ↗ there even a place within the scope of

56:08 ↗ what we're trying to accomplish to

56:10 ↗ insert this kind of thinking

56:13 ↗ you

56:17 ↗ I mean I would definitely agree it said

56:20 ↗ what you're saying about the idea

56:23 ↗ everybody having to get in their car to

56:25 ↗ get to the transit to get on a bus to

56:28 ↗ get to downtown well that seems like a

56:30 ↗ very odd combination of things and as

56:35 ↗ you know I think as light rail comes we

56:40 ↗ do as a city I would say and I think

56:44 ↗ within our transportation plan you know

56:46 ↗ if we know where that facility or those

56:48 ↗ facilities are gonna go it would make

56:51 ↗ sense for us to identify you know

56:55 ↗ knowing that this is you know 20 years

56:57 ↗ in the future or whatever identify

57:00 ↗ accessible routes of you know like safe

57:04 ↗ bike routes or safe walking routes I

57:08 ↗ think when we had that meeting with all

57:10 ↗ those other boards I remember I thought

57:14 ↗ they were saying something the the

57:18 ↗ growth management people I can't

57:20 ↗ remember the time for it but I think

57:24 ↗ they had mentioned something about

57:26 ↗ zoning and zone code and density

57:29 ↗ associated with these with this new

57:34 ↗ Transit Center coming online but I think

57:37 ↗ you know it for us and our purview just

57:39 ↗ ensuring that the policies we write

57:42 ↗ really you know the idea that we want a

57:44 ↗ more mobile more bicycle mobility safe

57:48 ↗ mobility inside our downtown core we

57:50 ↗ wanted to look like this that's where

57:52 ↗ the density is going blah blah blah I

57:54 ↗ think just by creating that kind of

57:57 ↗ network in our downtown core we're sort

58:00 ↗ of going to be hopefully de-facto

58:02 ↗ creating those opportunities once

58:04 ↗ transit does come I think part of the

58:07 ↗ bummers I think we only have really four

58:09 ↗ transit routes it's just circulate your

58:11 ↗ downtown where if you had a parking

58:13 ↗ structure downtown if you didn't have a

58:15 ↗ parking structure you'd have to have a

58:16 ↗ wagon wheel spoke of bus network

58:18 ↗ bringing people to that area which we

58:21 ↗ don't have that might be the

58:23 ↗ forward-looking thing as far as having

58:25 ↗ how do you address that people get into

58:27 ↗ example the transportation via bus or

58:30 ↗ another way

58:30 ↗ they don't have to drive their car

58:37 ↗ yeah and this is sorry and maybe this is

58:41 ↗ where that policy of the future

58:43 ↗ technology stuff comes in just I know it

58:46 ↗ you know king county parks we're doing

58:48 ↗ the trailhead direct so we're getting

58:50 ↗ these little shuttles that take people

58:53 ↗ from instead of building massive parking

58:55 ↗ lots at our natural areas we have these

58:58 ↗ little shuttles that will you know come

59:00 ↗ every 15 or 20 minutes and they pick you

59:02 ↗ up at a park and ride and then they take

59:05 ↗ you to the various natural areas on the

59:07 ↗ weekends and we've created routes and

59:09 ↗ it's significantly increased transit use

59:12 ↗ and access to record or giuse really

59:16 ↗ green spaces in the in the mountains to

59:19 ↗ sound Greenway so maybe those are the

59:21 ↗ kind of technologies or opportunities

59:24 ↗ that you know as that Transit Center is

59:26 ↗ coming online we have you know like real

59:30 ↗ shuttle or whatever go through these

59:32 ↗ little through our communities or we

59:34 ↗ order one on our phone or whatever and

59:37 ↗ it starts to reduce some of that need

59:39 ↗ for everybody to own you know three cars

59:42 ↗ and a house of two people and blah blah

59:43 ↗ blah so

59:48 ↗ so I I was actually gonna Cynthia thank

59:52 ↗ you for bringing this up because I was

59:53 ↗ actually gonna bring some of this up

59:55 ↗ better when we were going to talk about

59:57 ↗ the planning context report with the

1:00:01 ↗ current pandemic some of the major

1:00:04 ↗ things that have really been highlighted

1:00:06 ↗ in all this is that we can certainly

1:00:09 ↗ change how people get around or at least

1:00:12 ↗ how they access you know bundles of

1:00:15 ↗ information or or have conversations and

1:00:18 ↗ still get be productive as part of our

1:00:21 ↗ economy as part of our system and I

1:00:24 ↗ think Kendra and I could probably take

1:00:25 ↗ up an entire two hours just talking

1:00:27 ↗ about this if we you know we were

1:00:30 ↗ allowed to so I will bring this up back

1:00:35 ↗ again when we're talking about the

1:00:36 ↗ planning context report because I think

1:00:37 ↗ it's important to think about how this

1:00:43 ↗ current pandemic is really changing how

1:00:44 ↗ people are getting around we're not

1:00:46 ↗ getting around and still being able to

1:00:49 ↗ be productive and still be part of the

1:00:51 ↗ work force and still work virtually

1:00:56 ↗ the answer to your question and I think

1:00:59 ↗ it was a question not so much comment is

1:01:01 ↗ there are a lot of tools that we can use

1:01:04 ↗ so to reduce the need for people to meet

1:01:08 ↗ to drive their car to access transit

1:01:09 ↗ facilities and so Jonah touched a little

1:01:12 ↗ bit on with the trailhead to neck there

1:01:15 ↗ is advancement in technology so you can

1:01:17 ↗ develop different types of options for

1:01:19 ↗ people to get from either single-family

1:01:21 ↗ housing or multi-family housing to the

1:01:23 ↗ transit facilities you have now but you

1:01:26 ↗ can also expand on the type of transit

1:01:29 ↗ this transit system you have beyond just

1:01:32 ↗ the standard metro bus routes that you

1:01:35 ↗ see going and you know a couple blocks

1:01:38 ↗ away from your house

1:01:39 ↗ Metro can partner with different types

1:01:42 ↗ of third-party vendors that provide you

1:01:46 ↗ know scooters or bike share or even with

1:01:49 ↗ uber and lifts now we're moving into

1:01:55 ↗ more much more of a virtual world

1:01:58 ↗ how much of a need is is there for that

1:02:00 ↗ and how much which direction do we we go

1:02:03 ↗ our land use hasn't changed so their

1:02:05 ↗ needs are still there but the demand is

1:02:08 ↗ definitely changing especially as we see

1:02:11 ↗ how employers are responding to the

1:02:13 ↗ recent pension now I'm a I'm gonna stop

1:02:16 ↗ myself there in case anybody else had a

1:02:18 ↗ comment but I just wanted to quickly

1:02:19 ↗ respond to your question before I I

1:02:22 ↗ forgot what the question was

1:02:27 ↗ I do questions go ahead Cynthia I was

1:02:31 ↗ gonna say there is a specific question

1:02:33 ↗ buried in there and that's the next

1:02:35 ↗ major opportunity to impact the

1:02:42 ↗ existence of massive park and rides

1:02:44 ↗ it's suburban transit locations is light

1:02:47 ↗ rail do we as part of this process have

1:02:52 ↗ any input into or does the city of

1:02:55 ↗ Issaquah in general have input as to

1:02:57 ↗ whether that stop will be accompanied by

1:03:00 ↗ a massive park and ride like East Gate

1:03:02 ↗ or does the city of Asaph want get to

1:03:05 ↗ decide and does this transportation plan

1:03:07 ↗ have any input as to on that particular

1:03:10 ↗ that seems like a big trigger to me like

1:03:12 ↗ that it's so far in advance that now's

1:03:14 ↗ the time to be having that conversation

1:03:16 ↗ but I don't have any idea where that

1:03:18 ↗ decision gets made

1:03:22 ↗ pre-pandemic

1:03:24 ↗ the natural process for how this would

1:03:28 ↗ be is yes we would have a say on where

1:03:32 ↗ facilities go what throughout my be but

1:03:34 ↗ the sound Transit board and staff are

1:03:37 ↗ the ones that make the final decision on

1:03:40 ↗ where the routing is where the final

1:03:42 ↗ stations are as a community partner for

1:03:46 ↗ this route we have a very strong

1:03:48 ↗ influence on where station should go and

1:03:51 ↗ how access should be developed as part

1:03:53 ↗ of that system and whether it's

1:03:55 ↗ accompanied by a gigantic parking right

1:03:57 ↗ or not okay

1:04:01 ↗ Stephen I don't want to chime in too

1:04:04 ↗ much here but as part of the the MMP

1:04:08 ↗ you'll notice our transit policies

1:04:10 ↗ they're not super extensive at this

1:04:13 ↗ point Cynthia I think you're asking some

1:04:14 ↗ really really good questions one of the

1:04:17 ↗ when you know Stephen and I were scoping

1:04:19 ↗ this project we're talking about it is

1:04:21 ↗ that transit is obviously a really

1:04:24 ↗ important topic that could be addressed

1:04:27 ↗ in much more detail than its within this

1:04:29 ↗ scope and so I think you know something

1:04:32 ↗ that Stephen has previously mentioned

1:04:34 ↗ that you know he's thinking about is

1:04:36 ↗ more of a transit implementation plan

1:04:39 ↗ that's specific to transit

1:04:40 ↗ accommodations within his squad how

1:04:42 ↗ AIESEC la is a sound host of transit

1:04:46 ↗ which includes variety of just to

1:04:48 ↗ respond to your comment on you know

1:04:50 ↗ massive parking garage or local

1:04:53 ↗ connections to transit be it bicycle and

1:04:57 ↗ pedestrian Tod you is a sound idea

1:05:00 ↗ different first last mile connections

1:05:03 ↗ we've worked with some cities that have

1:05:05 ↗ actually asked the question do we want

1:05:06 ↗ to build a big parking garage would it

1:05:09 ↗ be cheaper just to give everyone

1:05:10 ↗ vouchers to be able to use TNCs

1:05:13 ↗ taxes and how long you know how many

1:05:16 ↗ rides with that that actually fund

1:05:19 ↗ before building another parking space

1:05:20 ↗ and suspense killer here is the answer

1:05:23 ↗ is a lot so I think there's a lot of

1:05:26 ↗ choices there we don't have the answers

1:05:28 ↗ we haven't dealt that deeply yet I think

1:05:31 ↗ that's something that in the coming

1:05:33 ↗ years you know probably I'm not going to

1:05:37 ↗ I'm not going to speculate on a time

1:05:39 ↗ frame for from Stephens team but I think

1:05:42 ↗ that is something that's an interest to

1:05:44 ↗ the city and is a part of the MMP we've

1:05:47 ↗ been expecting that that's going to be

1:05:48 ↗ kind of a next step implementation item

1:05:54 ↗ you have to add on what Kendra said and

1:05:57 ↗ then I'll just take one more minute and

1:05:59 ↗ then we can move on the original plan

1:06:03 ↗ and the plan is still to have deeper

1:06:05 ↗ conversations on transit following the

1:06:07 ↗ adoption we intentionally did not have

1:06:10 ↗ those conversations because we knew they

1:06:14 ↗ they were gonna be extensive I mean we

1:06:16 ↗ we are wanting to have community

1:06:17 ↗ conversations around station planning

1:06:20 ↗ around what type of access we want to

1:06:23 ↗ light rail or high speed high high

1:06:29 ↗ volume transit facilities and so being

1:06:33 ↗ able to do that we wanted to be able to

1:06:36 ↗ focus on just that as separate from the

1:06:39 ↗ master plan so we can focus on the

1:06:41 ↗ master plan first and then jump into

1:06:42 ↗ those deeper transit conversations how

1:06:46 ↗ that's gonna happen now we're not

1:06:48 ↗ entirely sure yet because Metro doesn't

1:06:51 ↗ even know what recovery orb and Sound

1:06:53 ↗ Transit don't even know where recovery

1:06:54 ↗ look like and they have even finalized

1:06:57 ↗ their forecast models yet so until all

1:07:02 ↗ that is done

1:07:05 ↗ we can have initial conversations but

1:07:08 ↗ those bigger conversations gonna have to

1:07:10 ↗ wait until we know what recovery looks

1:07:13 ↗ like and then we have a better idea of

1:07:15 ↗ what after recovery

1:07:20 ↗ this is a great discussion Cynthia I

1:07:22 ↗ really want to thank you for bringing

1:07:23 ↗ that up

1:07:24 ↗ excellent topic and one that I you asked

1:07:28 ↗ what we thought of it and I agree with

1:07:30 ↗ you and glad you brought it up I would

1:07:32 ↗ say to Stephen that Cynthia was maybe

1:07:36 ↗ where did this come from

1:07:38 ↗ Genta there's only one application for

1:07:42 ↗ large-scale parking facilities and I

1:07:44 ↗ think Cynthia may also be saying that

1:07:47 ↗ the the use of land or parking making of

1:07:53 ↗ itself be something that would look at

1:07:55 ↗ not just as a compliment to a Transit

1:07:59 ↗ Center but what is our policy about

1:08:02 ↗ parking facilities and maybe we'll we

1:08:06 ↗ could look at that sooner and get a feel

1:08:09 ↗ from the community and from the city

1:08:11 ↗ about how we could make things develop

1:08:15 ↗ the way that we wanted to develop

1:08:17 ↗ and the end of the future in the system

1:08:21 ↗ and probably maybe another thing to tie

1:08:23 ↗ into the parking center is if it could

1:08:24 ↗ be used for multiple things that was it

1:08:26 ↗ just parking for transit the city

1:08:29 ↗ parking for local business park there

1:08:31 ↗ are people commuting to Seattle

1:08:32 ↗ Washington work Costco a single facility

1:08:36 ↗ that could have multiple users supposed

1:08:39 ↗ to one just for transit and a parking

1:08:41 ↗ lot or across go another parking lot for

1:08:43 ↗ somebody else it could also have you are

1:08:47 ↗ can have at least you get combine it

1:08:49 ↗ with other other users and good we want

1:08:55 ↗ to have that conversation sooner rather

1:08:56 ↗ than later Steven thank you

1:08:58 ↗ excellent okay so the next item was are

1:09:00 ↗ y'all ready any objections objections

1:09:03 ↗ next item is a MMP outline planning

1:09:07 ↗ context and future needs assessment

1:09:09 ↗ right even sure

1:09:15 ↗ it's it's fairly short is it helpful for

1:09:18 ↗ me to actually put this on the screen or

1:09:19 ↗ just to quickly talk about it and then

1:09:22 ↗ open the floor what would you prefer

1:09:25 ↗ Nana I'd like it on the screen we're

1:09:27 ↗ watching it now but we may be watching

1:09:30 ↗ it again later other people may watch it

1:09:31 ↗ in the video form there are a lot of

1:09:33 ↗ people interested in a project so let's

1:09:35 ↗ help them

1:09:37 ↗ you

1:09:42 ↗ okay so for the outline we try to keep

1:09:47 ↗ the outline very simple and very

1:09:49 ↗ straightforward we want to start with an

1:09:52 ↗ executive summary to simplify a lot of

1:09:55 ↗ the main messages that we are really

1:09:57 ↗ trying to convey as part of the master

1:09:58 ↗ plan we've heard the feedback from the

1:10:02 ↗ board members that having something

1:10:05 ↗ especially up front that's very simple

1:10:07 ↗ has a lot of graphics but is able to

1:10:10 ↗ tell the story of what we're trying to

1:10:12 ↗ achieve with the master plan is is we're

1:10:14 ↗ hoping to convey that in the executive

1:10:16 ↗ summary following the executive summary

1:10:19 ↗ we have the introduction in the process

1:10:21 ↗ we're telling the story of how we got to

1:10:23 ↗ where we are today with the policies in

1:10:25 ↗ the master plan and then talking about

1:10:28 ↗ the planning context and future needs

1:10:30 ↗ really displaying what the city the what

1:10:35 ↗ the transportation system is well looks

1:10:37 ↗ like today and applying the guiding

1:10:40 ↗ principles to that to show what we need

1:10:42 ↗ or at least what we're missing to

1:10:44 ↗ achieve our goals so my questions

1:10:47 ↗ actually about that outline is are we

1:10:50 ↗ missing anything based on previous

1:10:52 ↗ conversations we've had about the

1:10:54 ↗ outline or does anything seem unclear

1:11:02 ↗ go ahead and put it in the chat whether

1:11:04 ↗ you have a comment or a question loved

1:11:07 ↗ all on you

1:11:09 ↗ Stephen can I bring into for the

1:11:13 ↗ conversation this has this has two parts

1:11:16 ↗ there's to the outline and then there's

1:11:18 ↗ the planning context and future needs so

1:11:20 ↗ the next part of this agenda item is

1:11:23 ↗ that kind of middle or one two three

1:11:27 ↗ four the fourth section is that correct

1:11:29 ↗ am I getting my understanding that's

1:11:32 ↗ correct

1:11:36 ↗ any questions out there

1:11:40 ↗ principles I'll ask let's see this a

1:11:42 ↗ little bit so when you get into the

1:11:44 ↗ planning context and future needs it's

1:11:46 ↗ not for many pages but they are totally

1:11:50 ↗ up front in the executive summary that

1:11:53 ↗ right

1:11:54 ↗ yes the guiding principles will be

1:11:56 ↗ outlined in the executive summary but

1:11:57 ↗ more importantly though it'll be part of

1:12:01 ↗ the plan or at least the introduction of

1:12:04 ↗ you know we had these conversations and

1:12:07 ↗ we determined these are what is we find

1:12:10 ↗ it important or our transportation

1:12:12 ↗ system

1:12:15 ↗ and tom has a question so let me call on

1:12:17 ↗ Tom you can state your question and and

1:12:20 ↗ flesh it out for us sure I was looking

1:12:23 ↗ that I wasn't sure with the guiding

1:12:24 ↗ principles is that where the policies

1:12:26 ↗ that we've been talking about is that

1:12:28 ↗ where that would be located it's time to

1:12:31 ↗ look through the major titles so there

1:12:34 ↗ so the section under introduction what

1:12:39 ↗ we're talking about

1:12:40 ↗ why developed the TMP now and give that

1:12:43 ↗ story of what we the feedback we got

1:12:47 ↗ from the community we concluded with

1:12:49 ↗ that what the guiding principles being

1:12:51 ↗ the ultimate goals that we're trying to

1:12:53 ↗ achieve but then guiding principles are

1:12:55 ↗ embedded in all three policies and the

1:12:58 ↗ criteria that we'll be using

1:13:01 ↗ okay answer in terms of specifically

1:13:04 ↗ said to be called out so they could read

1:13:06 ↗ through those and never

1:13:10 ↗ they could see what all our involves the

1:13:12 ↗ guiding bottles he's wearing as far as

1:13:13 ↗ how we did the evaluation

1:13:16 ↗ when you said throughout the document is

1:13:18 ↗ there one area that they it's really

1:13:21 ↗ clear for them or is it yeah so it'll be

1:13:23 ↗ it'll be called out specifically in the

1:13:25 ↗ executive summary but it'll be even more

1:13:27 ↗ called out in terms of like how they

1:13:28 ↗ were developed and list them all out in

1:13:30 ↗ the introduction as well okay

1:13:36 ↗ you

1:13:38 ↗ any other questions I have one more

1:13:41 ↗ even on the end of the outline that says

1:13:44 ↗ prioritized project lists

1:13:49 ↗ is that them are we getting to that sure

1:13:54 ↗ so the project list that we're gonna be

1:13:57 ↗ looking at tonight that is not going to

1:14:01 ↗ be that is not the prioritized project

1:14:03 ↗ that is just the general full project

1:14:05 ↗ list as as we've been able to collect it

1:14:08 ↗ they've they're separated in different

1:14:11 ↗ categories but the criteria that we've

1:14:15 ↗ been going over and we got review of

1:14:17 ↗ tonight we're going to apply that

1:14:18 ↗ criteria to those projects and score all

1:14:22 ↗ the projects and that's how we'll come

1:14:24 ↗ up with the prioritized projects when

1:14:28 ↗ would we do we see that and what's the

1:14:32 ↗ what's the life cycle of that getting to

1:14:34 ↗ some kind of approval or use after

1:14:36 ↗ tonight where you will work with the

1:14:38 ↗ ad-hoc committee with the priority going

1:14:40 ↗ through the prioritized project list

1:14:41 ↗ helping making sure there's enough

1:14:43 ↗ language that things seem clear and then

1:14:46 ↗ we're going to move to the full the

1:14:48 ↗ public release of the draft plan in

1:14:50 ↗ early July that'll be kind of the first

1:14:51 ↗ opportunity for the full tab to be able

1:14:54 ↗ to see the full prioritized projects

1:15:00 ↗ anybody else in the

1:15:03 ↗ chatbox we're not going very far though

1:15:05 ↗ we're just going to the second part of

1:15:06 ↗ this moving from the outline to the

1:15:09 ↗ planning context in future needs if

1:15:11 ↗ you're ready Steven we'll go to that and

1:15:13 ↗ if any of you have questions about the

1:15:15 ↗ list itself I'm just say so in the chat

1:15:17 ↗ window please sure

1:15:27 ↗ okay not seeing any questions I'll

1:15:30 ↗ briefly describe the planning context in

1:15:33 ↗ the future needs the

1:15:36 ↗ context is is our assessment of existing

1:15:39 ↗ conditions it lays out our

1:15:42 ↗ transportation as it looks today and and

1:15:44 ↗ it specifically looks at each of the

1:15:46 ↗ travel modes and travel Bay and travel

1:15:48 ↗ behavior of how our community gets

1:15:53 ↗ around and the future needs assessment

1:15:55 ↗ is is taking a you know a different

1:15:59 ↗ picture of applying our guiding

1:16:01 ↗ principles to our existing conditions

1:16:03 ↗ and describing what we're clearly

1:16:05 ↗ missing to meet our own goals of the

1:16:07 ↗ system in accordance with the guiding

1:16:09 ↗ principles is there anything specific

1:16:13 ↗ that you want me well actually should I

1:16:15 ↗ just open the floor now and go to

1:16:17 ↗ specific sections where there's

1:16:18 ↗ questions and comments

1:16:20 ↗ sure we can do that you're looking in

1:16:23 ↗ the chat for some questions

1:16:26 ↗ and

1:16:29 ↗ I can ask one to kind of get it started

1:16:32 ↗ throughout the paragraphs Stephen I

1:16:36 ↗ calling it in my little notes here

1:16:38 ↗ commentary in some of this there's a an

1:16:41 ↗ opinion about what something means or

1:16:44 ↗ why it's significant or whatever how is

1:16:47 ↗ this composed and and those kinds of

1:16:50 ↗ assessments made in the narrative

1:16:58 ↗ there are a certain section that you're

1:16:59 ↗ referring to or

1:17:06 ↗ you

1:17:22 ↗ you know on the fly I don't know if I

1:17:24 ↗ can come up with it that

1:17:26 ↗ when you go down into scrolling down

1:17:28 ↗ into the paragraphs though where it says

1:17:31 ↗ that we that what we have is good or is

1:17:34 ↗ adequate or is you know we have high

1:17:36 ↗ quality we have a really walkable

1:17:38 ↗ community or whatever you know win and

1:17:40 ↗ something gets that qualifier rather

1:17:45 ↗ than just saying what it is you know

1:17:49 ↗ what you say in some instances you say

1:17:52 ↗ we have so many miles of something

1:17:53 ↗ that's just a fact but in some cases it

1:17:56 ↗ says we have a really good system you

1:18:00 ↗ know or we have a really bad system you

1:18:02 ↗ know when those words are used where

1:18:05 ↗ does that come about and we may be clean

1:18:08 ↗ that up let the data speak for itself

1:18:13 ↗ I see you know a lot of the comments are

1:18:17 ↗ at least the descriptions of the data is

1:18:20 ↗ using you know our assessment comparing

1:18:24 ↗ with what we see as good facilities

1:18:27 ↗ versus bad facilities

1:18:29 ↗ I guess one example is looking at our

1:18:33 ↗ grids our grid system in Central Islip

1:18:37 ↗ Oliver for versus Old Town I guess one

1:18:41 ↗ of the descriptions that is and here is

1:18:42 ↗ it is that there is a better current

1:18:46 ↗ system in the old town area versus the

1:18:50 ↗ central is flow because we we have a

1:18:54 ↗ little more room system to be able to

1:18:55 ↗ connect whether it's vehicle traffic or

1:18:58 ↗ of his pedestrian bicycle that gives us

1:19:00 ↗ better options for how we can better

1:19:02 ↗ connect the neighborhood with central

1:19:04 ↗ risk well we're limited on a lot of

1:19:06 ↗ areas to be able to better connect which

1:19:09 ↗ is vice some new projects

1:19:13 ↗ projects are being proposed to create

1:19:16 ↗ new connections does that help answer

1:19:19 ↗ your question uh yeah it does a little

1:19:22 ↗ bit and I think what I do is go back and

1:19:23 ↗ look at it and maybe others may see some

1:19:27 ↗ something of what I'm looking at okay

1:19:30 ↗ and then question I was just gonna

1:19:35 ↗ respond to you I mean there there's

1:19:38 ↗ professional judgment that was put in

1:19:41 ↗ there yeah Eric your staff right now is

1:19:44 ↗ the primary author although we benefit

1:19:46 ↗ from a lot of edits and guidance from

1:19:48 ↗ Stephen um you know I I would say we

1:19:53 ↗ have tried to draw some conclusions to

1:19:57 ↗ make a document readable one to kind of

1:19:59 ↗ emphasize some ideas um I was looking I

1:20:03 ↗ was making sure we didn't in anywhere

1:20:05 ↗ say that something was bad we're good

1:20:08 ↗ I'm glad to say we didn't quite use

1:20:09 ↗ those terms but to the extent that you

1:20:12 ↗ feel like we've drawn an inappropriate

1:20:14 ↗ conclusion of based on you know kind of

1:20:18 ↗ your local knowledge we certainly

1:20:21 ↗ welcome

1:20:26 ↗ Oh looks like we've lost Steven

1:20:30 ↗ Oh even come back

1:20:34 ↗ I'd still be there he might have just

1:20:35 ↗ walked no I know he's got a yellow ring

1:20:37 ↗ Steven are you thinking about this is

1:20:39 ↗ Tom are you thinking about the

1:20:44 ↗ why there isn't a roadway Network grids

1:20:47 ↗ like self between sunset and second and

1:20:49 ↗ why we don't have something over in the

1:20:52 ↗ Tibbets Valley growth area but then

1:20:55 ↗ similar to that

1:20:58 ↗ I know time what I was thinking was the

1:21:00 ↗ the language used in the in the

1:21:02 ↗ narrative yen okay and I think that the

1:21:05 ↗ staff and Kendra have explained it that

1:21:09 ↗ there were based on expertise at certain

1:21:13 ↗ qualifications that they're sharing in a

1:21:15 ↗ readable fashion in the plan and I think

1:21:18 ↗ it is an appropriate invitation to say

1:21:20 ↗ that if any of it doesn't ring right to

1:21:23 ↗ us that we should say so so when you're

1:21:26 ↗ reading it if there is anything like

1:21:28 ↗ that then go ahead and say something

1:21:30 ↗ about it

1:21:31 ↗ and Robert has a question while we wait

1:21:33 ↗ for Stephen can anyone text Stephen Oh

1:21:36 ↗ his computer crashed

1:21:38 ↗ oh my gosh coming back soon okay I have

1:21:41 ↗ a question for Kendra that I think you

1:21:43 ↗ can answer it has to do with

1:21:47 ↗ our review cycle and in here there are

1:21:51 ↗ timeline expectations that are on it

1:21:55 ↗ just a little deeper in

1:21:59 ↗ in the document but given the kovat

1:22:04 ↗ emergency of the stay at home and the

1:22:06 ↗ changes and not yet coming back we have

1:22:09 ↗ a review cycle for this embedded in the

1:22:12 ↗ document so that whatever we might make

1:22:15 ↗ expectations of today could be easily

1:22:19 ↗ and not too far down the road corrected

1:22:21 ↗ if things don't go the way we think

1:22:23 ↗ they're going oh we've got Stephen back

1:22:28 ↗ I see that was a fast-food just in terms

1:22:32 ↗ of so Stephen that question that 9ns

1:22:35 ↗ this is about a review cycle so now what

1:22:38 ↗ I understand we're working under is that

1:22:40 ↗ you know we've been we have a week by

1:22:43 ↗ week schedule of pieces that we're

1:22:45 ↗ giving to Steve it because of course

1:22:47 ↗ documents are going through consultant

1:22:50 ↗ review and then staff review eventually

1:22:52 ↗ up to like ta be an ad hoc review I know

1:23:00 ↗ we've got Stephen shared that the

1:23:04 ↗ intention is for a draft and what I

1:23:08 ↗ don't know nine out to you and hopefully

1:23:10 ↗ Stephen can elaborate is where at what

1:23:13 ↗ point we need ad hoc review comments so

1:23:17 ↗ they can make it into that early July

1:23:19 ↗ draft

1:23:26 ↗ let me clarify my question if Marta

1:23:29 ↗ regarded the timelines that are stated

1:23:32 ↗ and expectations of certain things

1:23:34 ↗ getting done in 10 years or 20 years or

1:23:36 ↗ whatever they are how often do we review

1:23:40 ↗ this document we review it in one year

1:23:42 ↗ do we review it in five years and the

1:23:44 ↗ reason that it bring that up is obvious

1:23:47 ↗ because we should have something like

1:23:48 ↗ that but the other is that we're in such

1:23:50 ↗ a state of unknown right now with the

1:23:53 ↗ Cova demur gence ii stay at home impacts

1:23:57 ↗ not yet fully felt and we certainly have

1:24:00 ↗ not yet recovered from them so what

1:24:02 ↗ would be our review of final document to

1:24:08 ↗ see if what we thought was going to

1:24:11 ↗ happen is happening especially due to

1:24:14 ↗ the kovat emergency and impacts entrance

1:24:19 ↗ so whoever wants to answer that Kendra

1:24:21 ↗ or Stephen

1:24:23 ↗ well I'm gonna let Steven elaborate on

1:24:27 ↗ that because I mean what you're talking

1:24:28 ↗ is definitely far beyond the extent of

1:24:32 ↗ our contract I would say that most

1:24:35 ↗ communities do revisit their train plans

1:24:38 ↗ every five or so years to confirm the

1:24:42 ↗ right things however how do you bring

1:24:44 ↗ you have a great point we are at an

1:24:46 ↗ inflection point for travel modeling and

1:24:49 ↗ forecasting and I think you're making it

1:24:52 ↗ point that the world is changing so much

1:24:54 ↗ that what we're saying today I don't

1:24:57 ↗ know if we know if the trends that we've

1:24:59 ↗ relied on for a long period of time so

1:25:07 ↗ if I I think I heard most of the

1:25:10 ↗ question can you hear me okay okay is

1:25:14 ↗ the question that I heard was what how

1:25:17 ↗ often are we updating and particularly

1:25:20 ↗ because the pandemic has really changed

1:25:22 ↗ our system is being used

1:25:26 ↗ I typically the master plan is updated

1:25:31 ↗ probably every five seven years

1:25:34 ↗ parallel to a comp plan update because

1:25:38 ↗ we are replacing the translation element

1:25:43 ↗ of the comprehensive plan with mobility

1:25:45 ↗ master plan we would be providing

1:25:49 ↗ updates along with the other sections

1:25:51 ↗ now with that said

1:25:55 ↗ plan does get occasional updates every

1:25:58 ↗ year and there's no reason why we can't

1:26:01 ↗ continue to take a look particularly

1:26:03 ↗ because of the pandemic to look at new

1:26:06 ↗ data because even though our land use

1:26:10 ↗ hasn't change you know the demand has

1:26:13 ↗ shifted there's gonna be a lot more

1:26:15 ↗ people working from home in the near and

1:26:18 ↗ potentially long-term future that's

1:26:20 ↗ gonna be impacting how our systems being

1:26:23 ↗ used and where the needs are going to be

1:26:25 ↗ needed especially with looking at equity

1:26:30 ↗ you know the needs are gonna be

1:26:32 ↗ significantly different in our community

1:26:35 ↗ and the communities around us so I think

1:26:37 ↗ it's gonna be important to be taking a

1:26:39 ↗ look at this fairly regularly until the

1:26:42 ↗ system is a little more calm down

1:26:48 ↗ I know it's not a very straight answer

1:26:50 ↗ yes we're gonna update it every two

1:26:52 ↗ years but but it is it is very much kind

1:26:55 ↗ of playing it by ear with how everything

1:26:57 ↗ goes with recovery and post recovery

1:27:01 ↗ hmm thank you

1:27:04 ↗ thank you any other questions about

1:27:09 ↗ text in future needs

1:27:15 ↗ a man

1:27:16 ↗ [Music]

1:27:18 ↗ on to the next item on the agenda the

1:27:21 ↗ ability master plan project list and

1:27:25 ↗ again Stephen

1:27:29 ↗ thank you I am I'm having to pull

1:27:33 ↗ everything back of it so getting you

1:27:35 ↗ give me a quick minute and I apologize

1:27:41 ↗ that part of that I my computer just

1:27:43 ↗ completely crashed

1:27:46 ↗ same thing that happened to me early on

1:27:49 ↗ in the meeting you got back pretty quick

1:27:51 ↗ it's like getting dumped out of a boat

1:27:53 ↗ and then coming back in isn't it yes she

1:27:56 ↗ was

1:27:58 ↗ because suddenly I just got that

1:28:00 ↗ beautiful blue screen telling me that I

1:28:04 ↗ needed to open everything back up okay

1:28:06 ↗ so did we were there any further

1:28:08 ↗ measurements are there any further

1:28:11 ↗ questions on the planning context or

1:28:13 ↗ future needs are we moving on okay

1:28:16 ↗ some of the projects and then I will

1:28:22 ↗ share my screen on this one

1:28:32 ↗ okay

1:28:40 ↗ okay so with the project lists and I'm

1:28:44 ↗ gonna ask Kendra to help out on the

1:28:48 ↗ development of the project that's

1:28:49 ↗ because she and Sarah Peters our project

1:28:52 ↗ manager work extensively on putting this

1:28:55 ↗ together so they can help probably

1:28:59 ↗ better answer more of the questions but

1:29:02 ↗ the the development of this project was

1:29:05 ↗ really pulled from a lot of pre-existing

1:29:07 ↗ plans and project lists that the city

1:29:10 ↗ already had he quote from the walk and

1:29:12 ↗ roll plan be pulled from the city's

1:29:14 ↗ capital improvement plan we pulled from

1:29:17 ↗ the park strategic plan to pull out all

1:29:20 ↗ the city's translation prod pre-existing

1:29:23 ↗ projects and then we added on to it

1:29:25 ↗ using the policies that we've helped

1:29:28 ↗ with with your help develop to really

1:29:31 ↗ pinpoint gaps in our system and so

1:29:35 ↗ projects the first project through

1:29:38 ↗ project and I believe 97 are all

1:29:42 ↗ projects that have been previously

1:29:44 ↗ looked at and previous previously

1:29:46 ↗ assessed as far as the capital

1:29:48 ↗ improvement plan art of concurrency part

1:29:52 ↗ of the comp plan

1:29:59 ↗ and that was one of my questions is if

1:30:01 ↗ open houses were held for those and F

1:30:04 ↗ will have open houses for all the new

1:30:06 ↗ projects that from 5 to 98 on a 10-point

1:30:12 ↗ Kendra and we lost Steven again who

1:30:15 ↗ knows it why don't you do what you can

1:30:17 ↗ with Tom's question absolutely so I

1:30:20 ↗ actually just give maybe even a higher

1:30:22 ↗ level kind of perspective here we have a

1:30:25 ↗ hunt about a hundred fifty projects that

1:30:27 ↗ have come out they've come from a

1:30:28 ↗ variety of sources as Steven mentioned

1:30:30 ↗ the first roughly a hundred have come

1:30:32 ↗ from your existing plans and the

1:30:35 ↗ additional 50 have come from our other

1:30:38 ↗ analysis and to remind you we talked

1:30:40 ↗ about sidewalk standards we talked about

1:30:42 ↗ locations where we might expect to have

1:30:45 ↗ sidewalks on both sides of the street or

1:30:47 ↗ one side of the street and what we did

1:30:49 ↗ is a team as we compared your existing

1:30:51 ↗ structure that's in place to what we

1:30:54 ↗ said the standard would be and we

1:30:56 ↗ identified locations where

1:30:57 ↗ infrastructure didn't quite meet that

1:30:59 ↗ standard and that's how we created kind

1:31:01 ↗ of those additional 50 projects beyond

1:31:03 ↗ what you have today so I think to the

1:31:07 ↗ question that was Tom right Tom asked it

1:31:10 ↗ was a very good one how are we gonna get

1:31:12 ↗ community input first first of all I'd

1:31:15 ↗ say there's another step here that's

1:31:17 ↗ gonna be I think very helpful we have a

1:31:21 ↗ hundred and fifty projects and I think

1:31:22 ↗ something that we're all painfully aware

1:31:24 ↗ of is that it's highly unlikely that the

1:31:27 ↗ city is going to have money to fund all

1:31:29 ↗ 150 of these projects so some good

1:31:32 ↗ questions that we have is well how do we

1:31:34 ↗ decide which projects get funded and

1:31:37 ↗ that's really where we do look to that

1:31:40 ↗ evaluation criteria that we have worked

1:31:44 ↗ on with all of you and with staff

1:31:46 ↗ extensively think about well you know as

1:31:49 ↗ a part of this MMP we have identified

1:31:52 ↗ the things that we think are the most

1:31:53 ↗ important risk for our residents and the

1:31:57 ↗ criteria I actually do want to pull it

1:31:59 ↗ up again just I know I'm not sharing my

1:32:01 ↗ screen but I think it is it does bear

1:32:05 ↗ reminding you know kind of things that

1:32:07 ↗ you've said that are really important so

1:32:09 ↗ again projects abilities yeah I think

1:32:13 ↗ list up you want me to share my screen

1:32:15 ↗ and listen

1:32:17 ↗ um sure the the the project list or I

1:32:21 ↗ was just looking at the criteria that we

1:32:23 ↗ talked about earlier okay how Dante

1:32:25 ↗ creatures yeah to evaluate to

1:32:29 ↗ environmental sustainability how they

1:32:32 ↗ connect better connected squat with the

1:32:35 ↗ region I think I'm looking for preparing

1:32:38 ↗ for growth and I do and I'm not actually

1:32:41 ↗ I navigated away so I don't know if you

1:32:44 ↗ were sharing your screen Tom that's okay

1:32:46 ↗ if you're not

1:32:46 ↗ no I was not I was gonna help you sure

1:32:49 ↗ okay

1:32:50 ↗ and I've been trying I see Stevens back

1:32:55 ↗ so although I could share the content I

1:33:00 ↗ have it I do I have the ability

1:33:09 ↗ yeah I don't think I'm succeeding at

1:33:11 ↗ this are you guys seeing it looks like

1:33:15 ↗ I'm sharing are you you are able to see

1:33:17 ↗ it alright um Stephen I know you've been

1:33:20 ↗ away so we were just talking about this

1:33:23 ↗ 150 projects and what I was mentioning

1:33:26 ↗ is kind of next step is really looking

1:33:28 ↗ at how these 150 investments this we

1:33:31 ↗ know we can't we can't afford all of it

1:33:33 ↗ how they match up with these criteria

1:33:40 ↗ that we talked about and I think it is

1:33:42 ↗ really important I think you want to

1:33:43 ↗ highlight a few talk about improving

1:33:45 ↗ mobility within his plot and some of the

1:33:47 ↗ clear things that were looking at and we

1:33:51 ↗ already went through this at a previous

1:33:52 ↗ item but I do like do you have an equity

1:33:55 ↗ measure yeah how were you know really

1:33:58 ↗ helping folks within the city who maybe

1:34:01 ↗ don't have as many mobility

1:34:03 ↗ opportunities to move more efficiently

1:34:05 ↗ but we have kind of these 6v6 criterion

1:34:10 ↗ and out of these six criterion we have

1:34:13 ↗ several kind of more objective

1:34:15 ↗ quantifiable measures projects and so I

1:34:19 ↗ think to get back to your question I'm

1:34:22 ↗ gonna stop sharing my screen so we go to

1:34:25 ↗ things that Stephen or others might want

1:34:28 ↗ to share we the the step the technical

1:34:34 ↗ step that's going and that's going

1:34:35 ↗ forward with the consultant team right

1:34:36 ↗ now and we're working actually

1:34:38 ↗ partnership with staff is we're looking

1:34:40 ↗ at each and every one of those projects

1:34:42 ↗ and identifying how well each and every

1:34:45 ↗ one of those projects advances these

1:34:48 ↗ priorities and so the next step is for

1:34:52 ↗ you all to be for us to come back and

1:34:55 ↗ report to you or report to the ad hoc

1:34:58 ↗ committee in terms of what are those

1:35:00 ↗ projects that are the most consistent

1:35:03 ↗ and so again we know that we can't fund

1:35:06 ↗ 150 but what what is that what is that

1:35:10 ↗ more discrete number of projects that is

1:35:12 ↗ affordable within that horizon and so to

1:35:15 ↗ your question in sharing this with the

1:35:18 ↗ community you know if you would ask me

1:35:22 ↗ you know what probably some way it will

1:35:25 ↗ be possible for the community to see all

1:35:27 ↗ the different investments we've we've

1:35:29 ↗ looked at but a list of 150 isn't

1:35:32 ↗ terribly useful and can be very daunting

1:35:34 ↗ to look at takes a lot of time and so I

1:35:38 ↗ think what we're hoping to share with

1:35:40 ↗ the community is a more focused

1:35:42 ↗ Dieselworks saying we've you know done

1:35:44 ↗ pretty robust analysis and here's the

1:35:47 ↗ investments that we're recommending

1:35:48 ↗ moving forward with a much more discreet

1:35:51 ↗ level and I think at that point we

1:35:53 ↗ really do want to hear from the

1:35:54 ↗ community of this more focused this kid

1:36:00 ↗ is this you know generally meeting your

1:36:03 ↗ needs are there major gaps that we're

1:36:06 ↗ not addressing and something that I

1:36:08 ↗ stress I work with a lot of communities

1:36:10 ↗ going for a very similar process is that

1:36:13 ↗ this you know kind of more objective

1:36:15 ↗ quantifiable process that we've gone

1:36:18 ↗ through it helps us to focus it's a very

1:36:21 ↗ useful tool but I think at the end of

1:36:22 ↗ the day does required human touch to

1:36:25 ↗ make sure we're not missing things and I

1:36:27 ↗ think just I want to harken back to

1:36:29 ↗ Cynthia's comments the very beginning of

1:36:32 ↗ this I think you really you know spoke a

1:36:34 ↗ lot to my heart in terms of thinking

1:36:36 ↗ about is we're becoming more we're

1:36:38 ↗ structural racism in our society very

1:36:42 ↗ important considerations I think you

1:36:44 ↗ know it does I think require some

1:36:47 ↗ thought to make sure that the

1:36:49 ↗ transportation system that we're

1:36:50 ↗ recommending is a part of this MMP is

1:36:53 ↗ this a transportation system that's

1:36:55 ↗ really truly creating more mobility

1:36:59 ↗ opportunities or safety or comfort for

1:37:03 ↗ the full spectrum of baseball community

1:37:06 ↗ so I'm going to stop there to give the

1:37:09 ↗ floor back to the TV members and Steven

1:37:13 ↗ but hopefully that sort of helped answer

1:37:15 ↗ that question

1:37:17 ↗ yeah I'll go to you Steven we were Tom

1:37:21 ↗ had just thrown out a question so we

1:37:24 ↗ could continue while we waited for you

1:37:26 ↗ to come back um

1:37:28 ↗ Hitler might have said some things that

1:37:30 ↗ were inspiring you to comment to once

1:37:34 ↗ you go ahead and continue where you were

1:37:39 ↗ yes I remember when I was just listening

1:37:43 ↗ to the comments and the questions and

1:37:47 ↗ maybe I mean I was actually really close

1:37:50 ↗ to concluding summarizing what the

1:37:53 ↗ project list it's very straight forward

1:37:54 ↗ in terms of like what it was the biggest

1:37:56 ↗ questions for you is trying to figure

1:37:58 ↗ out know is there anything that you

1:38:02 ↗ think is missing is there anything to

1:38:05 ↗ the particularly the new projects

1:38:07 ↗ reflects a lot of the new policies that

1:38:10 ↗ we've discussed because that's where

1:38:11 ↗ they came from

1:38:12 ↗ identifying where there's gaps in our

1:38:15 ↗ sidewalk system my gaps in our bike

1:38:18 ↗ bicycle facilities or the type of

1:38:20 ↗ bicycle facilities that at least improve

1:38:23 ↗ this is a little bit I think before your

1:38:27 ↗ computer crash the first time you were

1:38:28 ↗ just talking about the first 98 where I

1:38:31 ↗ pray police been rented and whatnot

1:38:34 ↗ you're starting to talk about the next

1:38:35 ↗ group I'm not sure if you want to if

1:38:37 ↗ there's anything more to say about a

1:38:39 ↗ long same line just and how the next

1:38:42 ↗ group came about those are the ones

1:38:44 ↗ we're gonna be really looking at sure

1:38:46 ↗ sure the only thing I would say about

1:38:48 ↗ the first ninety seven ninety three

1:38:52 ↗ projects is that it's been a few years

1:38:55 ↗ since we've looked at them we look them

1:38:57 ↗ as part of the more recent yabby process

1:38:59 ↗ but it was more as financial updates

1:39:02 ↗ like making sure cost assessments about

1:39:04 ↗ today but as we move forward and kind of

1:39:07 ↗ answering the question on what happens

1:39:09 ↗ next after mobility master planners we

1:39:11 ↗ take it take a better you know a closer

1:39:14 ↗ look at this full project list determine

1:39:17 ↗ you know some of these projects have

1:39:19 ↗ been on the CA p or bin as part of

1:39:22 ↗ previous project list for a really long

1:39:24 ↗ time are they still relevant and we

1:39:26 ↗ start having those conversations again

1:39:28 ↗ the way our capital improvement program

1:39:31 ↗ has worked in the past is that the

1:39:34 ↗ we kind of kept a running list going you

1:39:37 ↗ know some some projects kind of come off

1:39:39 ↗ when there's no longer other than listen

1:39:42 ↗ a while since we've actually gone

1:39:44 ↗ through the exercise so I think

1:39:46 ↗ following the adoption of the mobility

1:39:48 ↗ master plans because you're having those

1:39:49 ↗ conversations around the full project

1:39:51 ↗ list and and determining what are our

1:39:54 ↗ higher priorities with the new project

1:39:58 ↗ lists I mean the biggest things to me

1:40:00 ↗ that I think is missing is is taking a

1:40:03 ↗ little bit closer look at transit

1:40:04 ↗ improvements and how access to our

1:40:07 ↗ transit facilities or our transit

1:40:10 ↗ network can be improved and it's missing

1:40:14 ↗ that primarily because we want to save

1:40:16 ↗ those transit conversations or later

1:40:18 ↗ when we have a deeper discussion around

1:40:20 ↗ light rail and what our transit system

1:40:22 ↗ should look like

1:40:26 ↗ and then now I will hand the floor over

1:40:28 ↗ back to the board on any comments or

1:40:31 ↗ questions

1:40:34 ↗ even I don't see any in the chat but are

1:40:37 ↗ there any questions about this

1:40:43 ↗ well you guys think about it it seemed

1:40:46 ↗ like that there were some questions in

1:40:47 ↗ the first section the one through 93

1:40:50 ↗ that might be items that are already

1:40:52 ↗ under construction or already been

1:40:55 ↗ completed is this when was this list

1:40:57 ↗ from the projects 1 through 93

1:41:03 ↗ it's not necessarily that they're all in

1:41:05 ↗ construction they're all under other

1:41:07 ↗ project lists so they're either on there

1:41:09 ↗ our capital improvement program or

1:41:11 ↗ they're under they were listed in the

1:41:13 ↗ park strategic plan or they were

1:41:16 ↗ identified in our our concurrency

1:41:25 ↗ are there any other questions about the

1:41:27 ↗ list

1:41:32 ↗ another question not this is tone not

1:41:37 ↗ yet I said I want to have a little more

1:41:39 ↗ time to read through each one of them

1:41:40 ↗ and kind of relate to where they are and

1:41:42 ↗ how to tie an existing project which I

1:41:45 ↗ have not onion

1:41:49 ↗ like Cynthia has a question go ahead

1:41:51 ↗ Cynthia she's going back through all my

1:41:54 ↗ emails and there was one of two two one

1:41:59 ↗ two three three three of three and I

1:42:01 ↗ appreciate that and I was trying to

1:42:03 ↗ figure out how I missed I guess I'm

1:42:05 ↗ gonna ask the dumb question here this

1:42:07 ↗ seems like a big body of work that we

1:42:09 ↗ should spend some time with I don't know

1:42:13 ↗ I don't understand I guess I'm just not

1:42:16 ↗ really clear on how or what we're doing

1:42:20 ↗ I understood Kendra's point and I think

1:42:23 ↗ that's a really useful exercise but this

1:42:27 ↗ is where the rubber meets the road and

1:42:29 ↗ I'm not like understanding I haven't

1:42:33 ↗ given it the time somehow I I think I

1:42:37 ↗ looked at the first three the fourth one

1:42:39 ↗ was literally hidden like it like it was

1:42:41 ↗ too many into the you know in the screen

1:42:42 ↗ and so it didn't show me there was a I

1:42:44 ↗ haven't studied this I guess I'm a

1:42:48 ↗ little bit confused about the process

1:42:50 ↗ and it seems like this is pretty

1:42:52 ↗ important and so I don't know what to do

1:42:56 ↗ because I bet if I spent some time with

1:42:58 ↗ this I would have an opinion and there

1:42:59 ↗ probably be robust discussion about it

1:43:02 ↗ am I the only one that's feeling a

1:43:03 ↗ little overwhelmed and lost by that 950

1:43:07 ↗ an ill-prepared know that I think that

1:43:11 ↗ was probably what I was trying to say

1:43:12 ↗ also is that you know Tillich states

1:43:15 ↗ observe them see how the tie-in with

1:43:16 ↗ existing projects and then exactly what

1:43:21 ↗ my feedback or comment is supposed to be

1:43:24 ↗ in regards to the specific projects or

1:43:28 ↗ however late or if they fit within the

1:43:30 ↗ policy or not fit within the policy I'm

1:43:31 ↗ not sure what my response or comment

1:43:33 ↗ back is supposed to be

1:43:37 ↗ I'm very good you guys Sujatha or kobe

1:43:41 ↗ do you want to say anything now or do

1:43:42 ↗ you want Steven maybe to talk about what

1:43:44 ↗ what is the expectation or what is our

1:43:48 ↗ role in this list what are you looking

1:43:52 ↗ for from us

1:43:56 ↗ yeah I'd like to hear from Stephen about

1:43:58 ↗ getting some direction based on and

1:44:01 ↗ comments on the upside sure I mean the

1:44:04 ↗ the expectation really was just to give

1:44:07 ↗ you an opportunity to look through the

1:44:10 ↗ project list before it gets released

1:44:12 ↗ because we haven't had a chance to look

1:44:15 ↗ at this yet and the opportunity now is

1:44:19 ↗ to help answer any questions about

1:44:20 ↗ what's in the project list what to look

1:44:22 ↗ for and in particular if you have

1:44:25 ↗ questions about specific projects where

1:44:27 ↗ they came from or how they eventually

1:44:30 ↗ will be scored by that back and for

1:44:32 ↗ specific questions can be answered later

1:44:34 ↗ on when we actually apply the criteria

1:44:38 ↗ so if I understand we will apply the

1:44:41 ↗ criteria to these projects as a group or

1:44:43 ↗ is that something we should look at now

1:44:44 ↗ why we're looking at the projects we

1:44:46 ↗ just try to understand them now yeah

1:44:50 ↗ yeah when I say we omit the the project

1:44:53 ↗ team is going to be applying the

1:44:54 ↗ criteria to the project list and then

1:44:56 ↗ we're gonna go through it make sure that

1:44:58 ↗ it's we're applying the criteria

1:45:01 ↗ correctly and then you'll see the final

1:45:02 ↗ scoring later

1:45:04 ↗ okay so that helps me you can be

1:45:07 ↗ applying the criteria so as I review the

1:45:10 ↗ sweat feedback - you need for me to get

1:45:13 ↗ to so that you can have that feedback

1:45:15 ↗ when you're looking at these and

1:45:17 ↗ applying the criteria it's primarily

1:45:21 ↗ just looking at maybe helping you

1:45:22 ↗ understand what the project this is the

1:45:24 ↗ primary questions I'm looking for

1:45:32 ↗ or Kobe do you have any comments or

1:45:34 ↗ questions about the list

1:45:40 ↗ okay and it's in it's clearly fine if

1:45:43 ↗ there aren't any questions we just

1:45:44 ↗ didn't want to put out a full draft plan

1:45:48 ↗ in July and not give you an opportunity

1:45:51 ↗ to see what the project list it looks

1:45:52 ↗ like to play around and you know helping

1:45:55 ↗ you understand what the project list

1:45:57 ↗ that's gonna be coming out so that's

1:45:59 ↗ good so hopefully timing the Wynwood you

1:46:03 ↗ want comments or any feedback that we

1:46:06 ↗ have back to you so you have time to

1:46:08 ↗ process that for your next time once we

1:46:11 ↗ have final scoring done we're gonna work

1:46:13 ↗ closely with ad hoc committee used in

1:46:16 ↗ China and Emma I'm thinking a look at

1:46:19 ↗ making sure that the criteria is being

1:46:21 ↗ applied correctly or the criteria is

1:46:22 ↗ being used or in a way that word that

1:46:25 ↗ the board is really discussed okay

1:46:27 ↗ Sophia any comments do you wanted back

1:46:30 ↗ to you guys the at all committee by

1:46:33 ↗ certain I'll follow up with that all

1:46:36 ↗ committee with more specific details

1:46:40 ↗ I have a couple of questions yes um I

1:46:45 ↗ think it's good to have a plan reference

1:46:48 ↗ number I don't know what what's DM and

1:46:50 ↗ and what order are these in

1:46:55 ↗ where are you looking right now sorry

1:46:57 ↗ I'm looking at page one of the project

1:47:00 ↗ the draft project list and there's a

1:47:05 ↗ column on the right-hand side

1:47:09 ↗ two-thirds of the way over that says

1:47:10 ↗ plan reference number okay - there's no

1:47:15 ↗ reference number

1:47:17 ↗ no I meant I'm sorry Alma you won and I

1:47:20 ↗ was just wondering what DM me it meant

1:47:24 ↗ there must be a plan that's abbreviated

1:47:26 ↗ diem

1:47:28 ↗ you

1:47:32 ↗ oh it's it's from the concurrency model

1:47:35 ↗ updates oh it's from that project list

1:47:39 ↗ I just the calm before that has an

1:47:41 ↗ abbreviated DM

1:47:44 ↗ that is the reference number in that

1:47:46 ↗ project list so DM 2 DM 3 DM for that's

1:47:49 ↗ the reference numbers hi mom

1:47:55 ↗ I can

1:48:00 ↗ but and then I was wondering also what

1:48:04 ↗ is there an order to these

1:48:08 ↗ if I may not yet so we is it totally

1:48:14 ↗ random well not totally I didn't think

1:48:18 ↗ as they were constructed and compiled

1:48:21 ↗ but what I would say is that in the next

1:48:24 ↗ iteration when you start seeing these we

1:48:26 ↗ can order them based on kind of their

1:48:28 ↗ point score because these are coming

1:48:30 ↗ from such a variety of sources that

1:48:32 ↗ we've kept for administrative tracking

1:48:35 ↗ purposes whether you know if it came

1:48:37 ↗ from currency they've got a DM if they

1:48:39 ↗ came from another and they might have a

1:48:41 ↗ TC

1:48:42 ↗ there's different names and that's it's

1:48:44 ↗ really just so that staff has a clear

1:48:46 ↗ idea of exactly where these come from

1:48:48 ↗ but as we start bringing these into the

1:48:51 ↗ MMP we'll be stripping out some of that

1:48:53 ↗ information that isn't really useful to

1:48:55 ↗ any mere mortal and ordering things more

1:49:00 ↗ based on their scoring or based on their

1:49:03 ↗ geographic location in the city we've

1:49:04 ↗ done that I have done that in

1:49:06 ↗ communities as well so one of the

1:49:09 ↗ reasons I asked the question was I was

1:49:10 ↗ wondering if it had anything to do with

1:49:12 ↗ how long they've been lying around

1:49:17 ↗ where they didn't stale or some getting

1:49:19 ↗ stale no um what Kendra said they really

1:49:24 ↗ aren't in personality it was more about

1:49:26 ↗ kind of the reference he and how we were

1:49:27 ↗ ordering for admission purposes but the

1:49:30 ↗ next version will be projecting a more

1:49:34 ↗ organized fashion

1:49:38 ↗ I think I'll put a quick comment in that

1:49:40 ↗ we really did look at this as kind of a

1:49:42 ↗ pencils up exercise today just share

1:49:46 ↗ with you kind of where we are and I

1:49:49 ↗ think to the point of you know I totally

1:49:51 ↗ get the question you've got a hundred

1:49:53 ↗ and fifty projects here you have about

1:49:56 ↗ 10,000 columns what are we supposed to

1:49:59 ↗ do in some of these and it's just more

1:50:01 ↗ to share with you the general concept of

1:50:03 ↗ the project list what we're doing with

1:50:05 ↗ it what the origins of it are and I

1:50:08 ↗ think in the next step it'll start being

1:50:10 ↗ lot more refined and make quite a bit

1:50:13 ↗ more sense

1:50:18 ↗ are there any other questions about the

1:50:21 ↗ list I have a really easy one softball

1:50:26 ↗ to you Steven the time frame this list

1:50:30 ↗ has concurrency how far in the future is

1:50:33 ↗ this view this list

1:50:38 ↗ how how far into the future is the list

1:50:41 ↗ oh yeah the projects were build-out

1:50:43 ↗ yeah project list is this for our growth

1:50:46 ↗ in the next thirty years what is it in

1:50:49 ↗ the next twenty eight twenty yeah I

1:50:51 ↗ think the full range is like twenty five

1:50:52 ↗ years

1:50:58 ↗ thank you that that helps a great deal

1:51:00 ↗ okay then there's just a couple more

1:51:02 ↗ items under this agenda with the map of

1:51:05 ↗ projects if you want to introduce us a

1:51:08 ↗ little of that and then the sidewalk

1:51:10 ↗ projects sure so the the mapper projects

1:51:13 ↗ is tied with the reference numbers to

1:51:15 ↗ that full project list so you can see

1:51:17 ↗ geographically where each of the

1:51:19 ↗ projects are located the

1:51:24 ↗ same goes for the sidewalk that one is

1:51:27 ↗ identifying locations of those

1:51:29 ↗ particular sidewalk projects as well as

1:51:33 ↗ the

1:51:36 ↗ tears that they're identified for

1:51:38 ↗ categories

1:51:41 ↗ so it's just the help is

1:51:42 ↗ the reference maps to help with you

1:51:45 ↗ referencing where all the projects are

1:51:48 ↗ located in the city

1:51:54 ↗ looking for questions from people does

1:51:56 ↗ anyone have a question

1:52:01 ↗ you know me I'm always ready with one

1:52:02 ↗ Cynthia do you have a question yeah yeah

1:52:05 ↗ Stephen yes it was cross-referencing the

1:52:09 ↗ sidewalk projects with the post policies

1:52:13 ↗ and looking especially at squawk

1:52:17 ↗ Mountain about where does where do we

1:52:20 ↗ have to have two sided sidewalks and

1:52:22 ↗ where do we not have two sided sidewalks

1:52:24 ↗ and that's one example of where these

1:52:26 ↗ two don't match and so heads up if

1:52:30 ↗ nothing else but I found that confusing

1:52:33 ↗ because they weren't the same you're

1:52:34 ↗ talking about what's on the map versus

1:52:36 ↗ what's on the ground now

1:52:39 ↗ the the two different the two maps are

1:52:41 ↗ different as referring to where policy

1:52:44 ↗ would require two-sided sidewalk

1:52:48 ↗ that's your one tear to your for

1:52:50 ↗ stopping signal and then the

1:52:53 ↗ corresponding map that's in the proposed

1:52:55 ↗ policies figure to be doesn't match this

1:52:58 ↗ map

1:53:02 ↗ okay so I will get together with Kendra

1:53:04 ↗ to look a little bit closer at all this

1:53:06 ↗ to make sure they are matching thank you

1:53:09 ↗ for bringing that up

1:53:15 ↗ not seeing anyone else with any

1:53:17 ↗ questions last call for questions this

1:53:19 ↗ is the last item of our agenda tonight

1:53:21 ↗ so if you who are inspired to ask a

1:53:24 ↗ question about something earlier in the

1:53:26 ↗ agenda I just have a general question so

1:53:35 ↗ next time we meet will that like I know

1:53:40 ↗ nothing certain with code and everything

1:53:42 ↗ but do you think it might be in person

1:53:44 ↗ if it's a month out it really depends

1:53:50 ↗ I'm planning for a virtual meeting

1:53:53 ↗ because we really don't know where we're

1:53:55 ↗ gonna be in the phases it could

1:53:57 ↗ potentially be an in-person meeting but

1:53:59 ↗ if the board has a preference well I

1:54:06 ↗ think we're going to take that into

1:54:07 ↗ consideration because what we don't want

1:54:08 ↗ to do is force people in a situation to

1:54:11 ↗ be somewhere they really don't want to

1:54:13 ↗ be so we'll have that conversation with

1:54:16 ↗ the chairs and with our city clerk

1:54:22 ↗ good question Emma and I want to come

1:54:24 ↗ back to that in just a moment in another

1:54:26 ↗ business if you are already I would move

1:54:29 ↗ into the report section and see if there

1:54:32 ↗ is a staff report tonight's evening I do

1:54:35 ↗ have a quick staff report so the first

1:54:38 ↗ is an item that I had talked to earlier

1:54:42 ↗ in the meeting on the downtown street

1:54:43 ↗ closures and I want to help answer any

1:54:46 ↗ questions about what that it is but just

1:54:49 ↗ briefly what that what we're doing is

1:54:51 ↗ we're closing down front Street between

1:54:53 ↗ sunset to dogwood and closing down alder

1:54:58 ↗ between first halves and first place

1:55:01 ↗ that's that middle crossing Street where

1:55:05 ↗ subway and Domino's is and in downtown

1:55:07 ↗ the idea right now is that section of

1:55:12 ↗ all there's actually the originally

1:55:13 ↗ planned festival street that was

1:55:16 ↗ designed in the streetscape plan several

1:55:18 ↗ years ago and so we're following that

1:55:19 ↗ footprint right now we're adding on

1:55:21 ↗ French Street particularly because of

1:55:24 ↗ this pandemic but also I mean that is

1:55:27 ↗ something that was identified as a

1:55:29 ↗ priority by the recovery task force to

1:55:32 ↗ be able to support the downtown

1:55:34 ↗ businesses to expand their outdoor

1:55:36 ↗ seating so they can better abide by

1:55:39 ↗ social distancing requirements there's

1:55:41 ↗ right now with social system

1:55:43 ↗ requirements there there are fairly a

1:55:45 ↗ lot of businesses being downtown they're

1:55:47 ↗ fairly limited in there and their

1:55:48 ↗ footprint to be able to follow and by

1:55:52 ↗ adequate service that makes sense for

1:55:54 ↗ you know the sales they need to maintain

1:55:56 ↗ their business so we're trying to expand

1:55:59 ↗ that outdoor seating so they can do that

1:56:01 ↗ and we're working with them by closing

1:56:04 ↗ the street and set iam barricades around

1:56:07 ↗ each of the businesses to define where

1:56:10 ↗ their service areas are because we're

1:56:13 ↗ defining the service areas the sidewalks

1:56:16 ↗ are actually going to be closed and

1:56:18 ↗ we're going to open up a 20-foot lane

1:56:23 ↗ down the middle that'll be used for

1:56:24 ↗ pedestrian bicycle way through all of

1:56:27 ↗ downtown so that way instead of using

1:56:29 ↗ the side sidewalks you'll be able to

1:56:32 ↗ ride your bike or walk through downtown

1:56:34 ↗ essentially using the roadway

1:56:36 ↗ and so there will have wayfinding

1:56:38 ↗ signage each of the areas will be well

1:56:40 ↗ defined so you can and see where and

1:56:43 ↗ each of the businesses will be able to

1:56:45 ↗ accommodate out there shooting there any

1:56:47 ↗ quick questions about that

1:56:50 ↗ yeah when would that be in place we are

1:56:56 ↗ planning to start that actually next

1:56:58 ↗ weekend so it'll be the closure starts

1:57:00 ↗ Friday June 26 it'll start in the

1:57:03 ↗ afternoon at 2 p.m. and then the roads

1:57:06 ↗ are open right back up at 10 o'clock

1:57:08 ↗ Saturday night or 10:30 exactly Saturday

1:57:11 ↗ night

1:57:12 ↗ Oh so it won't be one day - they may be

1:57:15 ↗ from Friday all the way through to

1:57:16 ↗ Saturday gratz ok

1:57:20 ↗ and then it'll open back up on Sunday

1:57:23 ↗ and right now we're gonna be doing this

1:57:25 ↗ for about two weeks monitoring the

1:57:28 ↗ community impacts to make sure because

1:57:29 ↗ we it is a pilot we want to make sure

1:57:31 ↗ that this isn't negatively impacting

1:57:33 ↗ it's actually achieving what we want it

1:57:35 ↗ to be which is helping the downtown

1:57:36 ↗ business and then after that two weeks

1:57:39 ↗ we're gonna determine whether or not we

1:57:41 ↗ want to continue either a couple weeks

1:57:43 ↗ more or through the summer the question

1:57:46 ↗ how's that being advertised to the city

1:57:49 ↗ and and president has spoken down so

1:57:52 ↗ they can come down and and and do that

1:57:56 ↗ enjoy the restaurants and whatnot so

1:57:58 ↗ some of its already started to hit

1:57:59 ↗ social media we are gonna hit social

1:58:04 ↗ media there fairly soon because this was

1:58:09 ↗ a recovery task force item it was a new

1:58:12 ↗ item for staff so we've been working on

1:58:14 ↗ actually pretty hard for last four weeks

1:58:16 ↗ to be able to pull this together and the

1:58:19 ↗ details are have been still finalized

1:58:22 ↗ just this week so all day

1:58:24 ↗ the heavier advertisement from the city

1:58:26 ↗ is gonna be coming now but the recovery

1:58:28 ↗ task force has been talking about this

1:58:29 ↗ for quite some time so the idea before

1:58:33 ↗ the closure is to have electronic signs

1:58:34 ↗ up when we do the closures so at least

1:58:37 ↗ traffic has some clear visibility on

1:58:40 ↗ French Street that the road is going to

1:58:41 ↗ be closed for the weekend and then we're

1:58:43 ↗ going to be going social media we're

1:58:45 ↗ going to be going on online networks to

1:58:48 ↗ make sure everybody knows what's going

1:58:49 ↗ on

1:58:50 ↗ also good that's because well we'll be

1:58:53 ↗ down there for that and I'll send a note

1:58:55 ↗ to our neighborhood here too that it's

1:58:56 ↗ coming up

1:58:58 ↗ it Cynthia had a question about the

1:59:00 ↗ frequency or you know

1:59:04 ↗ I think I answered the question

1:59:10 ↗ Thank You Steven anything else on staff

1:59:12 ↗ report my last quick tidbit for staff

1:59:17 ↗ reports a bit of a sad one my manager

1:59:19 ↗ Kurt is actually retiring at the end of

1:59:22 ↗ July so we will be down one more on our

1:59:27 ↗ staff we're sad to see him go but I just

1:59:30 ↗ want to let you all know that that he is

1:59:33 ↗ planning for retirement so happy for him

1:59:36 ↗ not so much for us

1:59:39 ↗ well I second that it's been such a

1:59:42 ↗ pleasure to have him on staff he's

1:59:43 ↗ really a what got such a wealth of

1:59:46 ↗ expertise and and of patience it's

1:59:49 ↗ really been great great for us and we

1:59:52 ↗ didn't have a chance to say goodbye he

1:59:54 ↗ said when does his retirement date at

1:59:57 ↗ the end of July end of July so you can

2:00:00 ↗ email him his email address is on the

2:00:02 ↗ website and say yeah congratulations

2:00:05 ↗ okay and then that's your last for the

2:00:07 ↗ staff report that's it I have nothing

2:00:10 ↗ for a chair report but maybe Cynthia

2:00:12 ↗ does do you have anything nope okay you

2:00:15 ↗ report looking at Kobe and actually I

2:00:22 ↗ was wondering if you could provide a

2:00:24 ↗ quick update on the recovery task force

2:00:26 ↗ I only talked about the one item is

2:00:29 ↗ there anything else that you you could

2:00:30 ↗ probably briefly talk about on the spot

2:00:34 ↗ they have been fabulous meetings and

2:00:37 ↗ I'll tell you they be

2:00:40 ↗ the track the cross-section of expertise

2:00:44 ↗ of volunteers from the city from people

2:00:46 ↗ who serve on development Commission's

2:00:47 ↗ people who serve in parks and people who

2:00:49 ↗ serve everywhere a Stephanie from our

2:00:52 ↗ group is on this task force and she has

2:00:56 ↗ been really great to give the point of

2:01:00 ↗ view of downtown Issaquah not just

2:01:03 ↗ retail but restaurants some really

2:01:05 ↗ important businesses so she's been

2:01:08 ↗ fabulous to see her there the mayor runs

2:01:11 ↗ the meetings and

2:01:14 ↗ as Steven indicated the use of the

2:01:19 ↗ information that's coming from the task

2:01:20 ↗ force is almost immediate and this is

2:01:22 ↗ happening now it's time to go now it's a

2:01:25 ↗ it's a really quick and actionable group

2:01:31 ↗ I'm trying to think of some of the other

2:01:32 ↗ things that we have been talking about

2:01:39 ↗ I don't think I can come up with it off

2:01:41 ↗ the top of my head but there they're

2:01:43 ↗ recorded and you can watch them and when

2:01:45 ↗ you watch them on YouTube you can speed

2:04:01 ↗ next public or when where does the MMP

2:04:04 ↗ go even if we're not meeting just remind

2:04:07 ↗ us what's next sure so after today the

2:04:10 ↗ MMB will hit the public release in early

2:04:14 ↗ July probably that second week in July

2:04:16 ↗ then it'll be under consideration or

2:04:21 ↗ review for the City Council at their

2:04:23 ↗ study session on July 28th

2:04:25 ↗ and then right now I'm aiming at August

2:04:29 ↗ 6th for our next tab meeting um I'll

2:04:32 ↗ send out a poll to make sure everybody's

2:04:35 ↗ able to so you don't need to tell me now

2:04:38 ↗ but just keep that in mind I'm kind of

2:04:40 ↗ looking at that date right now and we

2:04:44 ↗ probably the third week in August we're

2:04:48 ↗ aiming for adoption or the September 8th

2:04:55 ↗ Thank You Steven is there any

2:04:57 ↗ expectation or desire for any of us to

2:04:59 ↗ attend the July 28th meeting

2:05:02 ↗ um if you would like to I think I can

2:05:06 ↗ have a conversation with you and Cynthia

2:05:07 ↗ about whether or not you can share a lot

2:05:11 ↗ of the tab as either the staff break you

2:05:15 ↗ be part of the staff presentation or you

2:05:17 ↗ can be part of public comments leading

2:05:19 ↗ into this study session we could talk

2:05:22 ↗ about that you're on

2:05:24 ↗ but I think having the tab voice at the

2:05:27 ↗ study session would be helpful whether

2:05:29 ↗ it is part of it coming over as part of

2:05:31 ↗ the presentation

2:05:33 ↗ okay thank you and

2:05:35 ↗ in any case I think that even though

2:05:36 ↗ that's not on you know it's not our

2:05:39 ↗ meeting I think we should put that

2:05:40 ↗ meeting on our calendar July 28th for

2:05:43 ↗ City Council

2:05:46 ↗ information to all the town members to
