          [00:00:01]
WE'LL CALL THIS MEETING TO 
          [Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee on March 12, 2026]
ORDER. 
          AND, UH, THE FIRST ITEM ARE PUBLIC COMMENTS. 
          SO WE HAVE, ARE BOTH OF YOU GUYS GONNA SPEAK? YES, YES WE ARE. 
          SO, UH, UH, IT'S FIVE MINUTES, RIGHT? UH, YEAH. 
          SO THE ONLY FIVE MINUTES. 
          UM, AND THINK THE ONLY TWO SPEAKERS ARE, WE CAN BE A LITTLE FLEXIBLE, RIGHT? CORRECT. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, WE HAVE MARK WHITTY AND, UH, PATSON WITH THE RICHARDSON BICYCLE . 
          UH, NORM IS HANDING OUT A FEW HANDOUTS THEY PROVIDED, UH, KIND OF GO ALONGSIDE WITH WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. 
          SO, WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST? I'LL GO FIRST. 
          OKAY. 
          MARK. 
          JACK, MARK WHITTY WILL GO FIRST. 
          ALRIGHT, SO, UM, I'M GONNA FIRST TALK ABOUT THIS UPDATES AGENDA, OUR MISSION AND OUR LEADERSHIP, WHO WE WORKED WITH OF WORK. 
          WE'VE DONE TACTICAL URBANISM, WHICH IS A WAY TO GET THINGS DONE RELATIVELY CHEAPLY AND SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS. 
          OUR MISSION IS TO ADVANCE SAFE, CONNECTED, AND ACCESSIBLE FI OF ALL AGES AND CITY RICHON, EDUCATION, ADVOCACY, AND COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT. 
          LEADERSHIP OF RBC IS MATT PAYTON, MARCUS BENSON, AMY STEWART , AND ME. 
          UH, WE WORK WITH, UH, VARIOUS BIKE SHOPS, UH, RICHMOND BIKE MARK D BIKE SHOP, UH, DALLAS URBANS GREEN SPACE, BIKE STREET, BETTER BLOCK, DALLAS VILLE COALITION BIKE. 
          W THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE SINCE MAY, 2025, A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN A YEAR. 
          AND SO, UH, WE FORMED INTO A TEXAS NONPROFIT. 
          SO WE'VE WORKED WITH CITY FOR HUGE MAYOR PROCLAMATIONS 25 AND 26, UH, COUNTED PEOPLE PLANNING PROGRESS, GALLATIN AND WOODLAND PRESERVE UPDATES, CITYWIDE BIKE PARKING INITIATIVE. 
          WE SUPPORTED COWA TRAIL ACTIVATION, CREATED ALLIANCES OF DFW NONPROFITS, PROMOTED BIKE FRIENDLY BUSINESSES, LAUNCHED BIKE BUS INITIATIVES AND PARTNERED WITH BIKE STREETS. 
          SO TECHNICAL URBANISM OF WHAT IS REQUEST CITY COUNCIL TO CREATE AND IMPLEMENT TACTICAL URBANISM AND QUICK BUILD PROGRAMS. UH, WHEREAS THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLANS, Y IS A SPEED, COST AND SATISFACTION BENEFITS. 
          HOW, AND THAT'S USING EXISTING CONSTRUCTION SHIELDS RIGHT OF WAY AND TEMPORARY SIGNS. 
          UH, WE COULD START A PILOT PROGRAM IMMEDIATELY USING A TP TO VALIDATE THE PLAN. 
          SOLUTIONS ARE THE BEST FEEDBACK FROM PILOTS WILL LEAD TO COST SAVINGS ON DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION RESIDENTS LIKELY BE HAPPIER WITH THE FINAL RESULT. 
          UM, PAGE EIGHT SHOWS THE, UH, WHITE LEVEL GRAPHICS STRESS, OBVIOUSLY, UH, GREEN TO BLUE OR THE RESIDENTIAL AREAS, THOSE ARE THE LOW STRESS AREAS. 
          UM, YELLOW, RED ARE THE HIGH STRESS AREAS. 
          UM, NEXT PAGE NINE IS THE TRIP POTENTIAL AND THE, UH, IT'S COLOR CODED. 
          IT'S A HEAT MAP AND YOU KNOW, OBVIOUSLY THE AREAS WHICH RAISE POTENTIAL OR ROW AREA, UH, THAT AREA IN THE FAR SOUTHWEST CORNER OF RICHARDSON. 
          AND THEN SOME LIGHTER AREAS, BUT STILL SIGNIFICANT. 
          AND THE, UH, CITY, LIKE THE AREA AND, UM, UNIVERSITY TEXAS AT DALLAS. 
          UM, THE NEXT SLIDE 10 AS THE POTENTIAL FOR INCREASED WHITE TRIPS. 
          AND AGAIN, UH, THE EAST MAP IS SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS PAGE. 
          UH, DARKEST AREA. 
          THE MOST POTENTIAL IS THE BRICK ROW AREA. 
          UH, THEN THERE'S CERTAIN AREAS AROUND GALLATIN PARK AND WHATNOT THAT WILL ALSO, WE ALSO ENVISION A LOT MORE BIKE TRIPS IN THOSE AREAS. 
          UH, AND AGAIN, TECHNICAL URBANISM IS TO CREATE A COMPLETE  NETWORK IN ONE TO THREE YEARS, GET DATA AND RESULTS BEFORE THE DESIGN PHASE. 
          USE THE DATA TO EXIST FINAL DESIGN. 
          WE THINK THAT'S THE WAY TO DO IT. 
          THE MOST COST EFFICIENT, COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO DO IT. 
          UM, AND IT ISN'T US THAT CAME UP WITH THIS. 
          THIS HAS BEEN IMPLEMENTED AND TRIED IN OTHER CITIES WITH VERY 
          [00:05:01]
GOOD RESULTS. 
          UM, PHASE 12, YOU CAN SEE THE TACTICAL URBAN, UH, URBANISM IN LAWRENCE, KANSAS, UH, NEXT STREET, ST. 
          GEORGE AND PROVO, UTAH. 
          AGAIN, IT'S DIFFERENT. 
          THEY JUST USE HAY BALES AND ROSE PAINT TO DO THAT, AT LEAST INITIALLY. 
          UH, NEXT PAGE FOR LAUDERDALE, FLORIDA. 
          THEY JUST USE THOSE TO KIND OF BLOCKED IT OFF INITIALLY. 
          WHERE, UH, BOISE I, IDAHO, SAME THING. 
          THEY HAD GREAT RESULTS THERE AND IT ACTUALLY CREATES SOME GOOD INPUT INFORMATION AS A CORE CITIZENS. 
          THE CITY, BARCEL, SPAIN, THEY DID IT ALSO. 
          AND FINALLY LAST YEAR IS TIMES SQUARE WHERE THEY JUST BLOCKED ALL TIMES, SQUARE, PUT TABLES AND UMBRELLAS WITH CARROTS OUT THERE, LET PEOPLE USE IT. 
          AND IT WAS VERY SUCCESSFUL FOR THE LOCAL BUSINESSES WHEN THEY DID THAT. 
          ALRIGHT, SO, AND THEN I'LL TAKE OVER FOR THE SAFETY RECOMMENDATION. 
          SO I'M MARCUS BASSON WITH THE RICKSON BICYCLE COALITION. 
          SO THE THREE THINGS I'M GONNA TALK ABOUT ARE VICTIMS, ZERO STATEMENT, UH, SLIP SLASH SO IS THAT A NEW FIVE MINUTES THEN? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          DID YOU RESET? YES. 
          OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT, COOL. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO THE, UM, YEAH, SO I GUESS THE THREE THINGS ARE VISION ZERO STATEMENT, UH, SLIPPAGE SLASH BYPASS LANES AND FLASHING YELLOW ARROWS. 
          SO I DON'T HAVE AS MANY VISUALS PRETTY, SO I'LL DESCRIBE IT OR GO IN DETAIL. 
          SO THE VISION ZERO STATEMENT IS MORE OF A SAFETY STATEMENT. 
          MOST WORKPLACES ALREADY HAVE SOMETHING OSHA RELATED WHERE IT'S TO A BASIC LEVEL THAT YOU COULD, WHEN YOU COME TO WORK, YOU COULD LEAD THE SAME WAY THAT YOU CAME THERE. 
          SO THIS IS BASICALLY SAYING THE SAME THING FOR CITY ON STREETS, THAT JUST BECAUSE WHEN YOU TRAVEL FROM POINT A TO POINT B THROUGHOUT RICHARDSON, YOU COULDN'T BE AT AT SERIOUS RISK OF HARM OR INJURY JUST BECAUSE YOU WERE WALKING, CYCLING, OR DRIVING. 
          SO A LOT OF CITIES HAVE ADOPTED, LIKE, WHAT, WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO SEE IS SEE THE COMMITTEE, UH, RECOMMEND CITY COUNCIL ADOPT A STRONG AND MEANINGFUL STATEMENT. 
          SO SOMETHING THAT SAYS THE CITY AIMS TO AIM AT ZERO FATAL TRAFFIC FATALITIES OR SERIOUS INJURIES WITHIN THE LAST, WITHIN THE, UH, NEXT 20 YEARS. 
          SO MOVING ON TO, UH, PAGE 20. 
          SO THE SLIPPAGE SLASH FIVE PATCH LANES, AGAIN, I'M SORRY, I DON'T HAVE A WRONG VISUAL FOR THAT. 
          BUT BASICALLY THOSE ARE, THEY'RE COMMONLY, SEE IN RICHARDSON YOU'LL SEE 'EM AT MOST INTERSECTIONS, UH, WITH US 75 AND SOME OTHER ROADS LIKE, UH, PLANO AND RENNER ROAD, THOSE ARE JUST THE, UH, RIGHT HAND TURNING LANES THAT ALLOW PEOPLE DRIVING TO TURN RIGHT WITHOUT HAVING TO STOP. 
          SO BASICALLY, AND A LOT OF TIMES THERE ARE YIELDS, THERE ARE YIELD SIGNS OR FLASHING BEACONS FOR, FOR PEDESTRIANS TO CROSS. 
          BASICALLY I'M REQUESTING THE COMMITTEE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO CITY COUNCIL TO PILOT TEMPORARY CLOSING SOME OF THOSE S SLIPING LANES. 
          THE REASON I'M ASKING FOR THAT, THE RECOMMENDATION IS THAT IT'S VERY COMMON, ESPECIALLY IF YOU GO MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY FROM FIVE TO 7:00 PM YOU CAN GO OUT AND OBSERVE MOST OF THE SLIPPAGE LANES AND SEE SOMEONE WALKING, TRYING TO PASS, TRYING TO PASS. 
          AND IT'S A RARE, IT'S VERY COMMON TO SEE A 20 OR SO MORE CARS 'CAUSE KEEP ON WALK PASSING THROUGH WHILE THE ONE PERSON'S WAITING FOR AN OPENING TO GET ACROSS. 
          VERSUS WHAT'S SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN IS THAT THE, THE MOVING TRAFFIC IS SUPPOSED TO YIELD TO THE PEDESTRIAN AND LET THEM CROSS. 
          SO THE LAST THING I'VE GOT IS THE FLASHING YELLOW ARROWS. 
          BASICALLY WHAT THOSE ARE IS THAT THEY'RE A, UM, PART OF THE TRAFFIC, UH, TRAFFIC SIGNALS WHERE OCCASIONALLY THE, UH, THE LEFT TURN ARROW WILL, WILL, WILL TURN YELLOW AND THE FLASHING. 
          BUT THAT IS TO, BUT THAT IS FOR, TO LET DRIVERS KNOW THAT THEY CAN TURN LEFT WHEN IT'S SAFE TO DO SO. 
          THE, UH, THE SAFETY ISSUE THAT BICYCLE COLLISION HAS NOTICED IS THAT THE PEDESTRIAN WALK SIGNAL WILL OFTENTIMES BE ACTIVATED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE FLASHING YELLOW LEFT ARROW. 
          SO EVEN THOUGH A DRIVER IN THE VEHICLE IS SUPPOSED TO YIELD TO A PEDESTRIAN, UH, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, RECENTLY LONE STAR WHEEL HAS ACTUALLY HAD AN, AN A, A NEAR OR MISS WHERE A DRIVER ALMOST FAILED THE YIELD AND STOPPED ABOUT 10 FEET BEFORE HITTING SOMEONE WHO'S, WHO HAD AN ACTIVE WALK SIGNAL. 
          SO THE THING I'M ASKING FOR THE, UM, FROM THE VPAC IS TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO CONSIDER CHANGING HOW THOSE ARE PROGRAMMED. 
          SO ONE, THE SIGNAL THAT'S AN EXAMPLE IS A RENTER AND RALPH CREEK GOING EAST TO WEST WHERE YOU'RE CROSSING, I THINK IT'S EAST, I MAY HAVE IT MIXED UP, BUT BASICALLY RENTER AND, UM, RALPH CREEK, WHEN YOU PRESS THAT, THE CROSSING SIGNAL, THEY, WHEN YOU HAVE A WALK PHASE AND YOU'RE WALKING AND CROSSING OR RIDING YOUR BIKE THROUGH THE CROSSWALK, THE LEFT TURN ARROW STAYS RED. 
          SO, AND I THINK SIGNAL WISE, IT JUST GIVES THEM A GREEN EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER, SO THAT WAY DRIVERS CAN KEEP ON MOVING, BUT THAT WAY YOU, YOU SEPARATE THAT POTENTIAL CONFLICT. 
          SO, AND I GUESS TO SUMMARIZE WHAT WE JUST MENTIONED, SO BRION BIKE COALITION IS BASICALLY HERE TO HELP PEOPLE OF ALL ACRES AND ABILITIES TO RIDE BIKES FOR TRANSPORTATION INSIDE OF RICHARDSON. 
          SO WE'VE ALREADY DONE THE FEW PROJECTS THAT MARK DISCUSSED AND WE'RE ASKING, AND I KNOW BECAUSE OF THE LIMITATIONS, WHAT TEXAS OPENS MEETING AT, BUT I'M ASKING IN THE FUTURE MEETING FOR THE COMMITTEE TO, UH, 
          [00:10:01]
BRING UP THESE TOPICS OR FURTHER STUFF AND SEE IF THEY'RE WORTHWHILE TO RECOMMEND TO THE CITY COUNCIL. 
          SO, AND THEN ALSO BESIDES THOSE THREE, UH, SAFETY, UH, THE, THE THREE CONSIDERATIONS FOR THE TACTICAL ORGANISM, SLIP LANES AND FLASHING YELLOW ARROWS WE'RE ASKING, ALSO ASKING TO, UH, RECOMMEND A, UH, VISION ZERO STATEMENT. 
          SO THAT WAY IT'S SOMETHING THAT'S STRONG AND MEANINGFUL. 
          SO, AND THAT'S ALL, THAT'S ALL I HAVE. 
          SO THANK YOU VERY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THANK YOU VERY MUCH. 
          UH, VERY GOOD, VERY GOOD. 
          UH, UH, IDEAS AND THANKS FOR THE PACKET. 
          AND WE WILL, UH, I'M SURE WE'LL BE DISCUSSING ALL THOSE, ALL THOSE ITEMS, UH, IN THE NEAR FUTURE. 
          AND SO THANK YOU. 
          UH, AND THAT'S IT. 
          ANYBODY ELSE? OKAY, SO NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS APPROVAL OF THE MINUTES. 
          HAVE EVERYBODY HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT LAST, UH, UM, LAST MEETING'S MINUTES? ARE THERE ANY COMMENTS? ANYBODY FIND ANYTHING? YOU SAID WE DIDN'T HAVE A TIME AND ADJOURN, UH, WE DIDN'T HAVE, UH, PEOPLE'S SECONDS, BUT, BUT, UH, SO HAS ANYBODY, UH, MOVED TO APPROVE THE MINUTES? OKAY, DIANE, ANYBODY SECOND? I SECOND. 
          AND SO ALL IN FAVOR SAY AYE. 
          AYE. 
          ANYBODY OPPOSED? AYE. 
          WILL SIGN? NO, I GOT A LITTLE BIT OF G**O JUICE ON IT. 
          , I GUESS THAT STILL DOESN STILL? UH, STILL. 
          OKAY. 
          OKAY. 
          SO THEN THE NEXT, UH, SO NOW WE CAN GET INTO THE, UH, THE MEAT OF THE MEETING. 
          THE FIRST, UH, ITEM IS REVIEW AND DISCUSS THE WEST SPRING VALLEY PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENT PROJECT. 
          I KNOW THIS IS SOMETHING THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT FOR A LONG TIME. 
          IT'S LIKE YOU'VE GOT SOME ACTUAL ACTIONS, UH, TO TALK ABOUT. 
          SO I ASSUME YOU'RE GOING, UH, DANIEL, SUSAN, YOU'RE GONNA HEAR A LOT FROM ME. 
          OKAY. 
          WHICH ONE WE TALKED ABOUT, AND IT'S PROBABLY BEEN SINCE TO HERE SINCE WE TALKED ABOUT THIS PROJECT. 
          UM, A LITTLE BIT OF THE BACKGROUND ON IT, THIS, YOU KNOW, THE QUICK OVERVIEW, KIND OF A LOT OF THE STATES BACK TO 2021 WHEN THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS ADOPTED A REGIONAL PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ACTIVE PLAN WHERE WEST SPRING VALLEY WAS IDENTIFIED, UM, REALLY FROM COY TO GREENVILLE, UM, 20. 
          AND THAT KIND OF LED TO THE 2022, THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION AND PART WITH CITY AND COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, UH, CONDUCTED A ROAD SAFETY AUDIT, WHICH IS KIND OF A MULTIDISCIPLINARY, UM, STUDY WHERE WE WERE IN THE FIELD MULTIPLE DAYS OBSERVING HOW ARE PEOPLE MOVING, HOW ARE PEOPLE WALKING, BIKING, DRIVING, WHAT IS NIGHTTIME CONDITIONS, UH, WHAT ARE IT LIKE DURING SCHOOL PICKUP DROP OFF, KIND OF DIFFERENT KIND OF DAY. 
          IT KIND ALL THE EVIDENCE OF IT. 
          UM, AND, UH, DEVELOPING A REPORT, UH, IF KIND OF THE OUTCOME OF THAT WAS VERY RECOMMENDATION, UM, FROM THE RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, IN  PUNISHMENT AND THEY SALES TAX DOLLARS BACK TO THE CITIES, UM, CITY ARE LOOKING TO ALLOCATE SOME TO SAFETY IMPROVEMENT ON WEST SPRING VALLEY. 
          UM, AND THAT IS REALLY WHAT WE'RE STARTING TO WORK FOR IN IMPLEMENTING NOW. 
          UM, SO IN 2024, KINDA THE START WAS, YOU KNOW, THE ROAD SAFETY AUDITS, KIND OF A HIGH LEVELS, UM, STUDY ANALYSIS, UH, WHICH LED TO IN 20. 
          UM, SO WE DID KINDA A DEEPER TRAFFIC ANALYSIS, UM, AND A LOT OF THAT FOCUSED MORE ON KINDA THE WESTERN PIECE OF THAT CORRIDOR. 
          SO , UH, ZA BEING THE MAIN PIECE WHERE WE HAVE A LOT OF MULTIFAMILY ON ONE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A LOT OF KIND OF COMMERCIAL GROCERY STORES, THOSE KIND OF THINGS ON THE SOUTH SIDE. 
          UM, SO LOOKING AT THOSE, UM, PEDESTRIAN CROSSING SPECIFIC IN THAT AREA. 
          SO REALLY OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO THERE'S BEEN, UH, CONSTRUCTION THAT HAPPENED OUTTA THAT TRAFFIC SAFETY. 
          WHAT THAT'RE LOOKING AT, SO THIS IS KINDA ON THE LEFT SIDE, YOU'VE GOT CO WITH SIGNAL WISE, UH, WE HAVE A FEW MIDBLOCK CROSSINGS, WHICH WERE INSTALLED AS PART OF A PARTNERSHIP WITH DALLAS COUNTY. 
          UM, THOSE HAVE REALLY JUST BEEN SIGNED. 
          THEY HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING KIND OF BEYOND JUST, UH, REGULAR TRAFFIC SIGNS. 
          THE MARKINGS OUT THERE, UH, KIND OF TOWARDS THE RIGHT, YOU GOT A WATERFALL WAY. 
          AND THEN ON THE RIGHT HAND, UH, YOU HAVE ESPERANZA, WHICH GOES DOWN'S ANOTHER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SOUTH THERE. 
          AND THERE'S A TRAIL THAT, UH, TIES INTO DALLAS. 
          SO REALLY OUR FOCUS WAS KIND OF CROSSING IN THIS AREA AND ULTIMATELY GOING TO THESE THREE KIND OF YELLOW MIDBLOCK ROCK BLOCKS, HOW WE, UH, TRY TO CHANNELIZE PEOPLE TO THOSE CROSSINGS. 
          HOW DO WE MAKE THOSE SAFER? UM, AND SO WHAT WAS, UH, WHAT IS BEING IMPLEMENTED TODAY IS KIND OF THE ONE CLOSEST TO COIN IS A NEW PEDESTRIAN HYDRO BEACON, WHICH WE'LL TALK ABOUT HERE. 
          UH, AND THEN ON WATERFALL WAY THERE'S TWO OTHER NIP BLOCK CROSSINGS ON EACH SIDE OF THAT, UH, WHERE WE'RE LOOKING AT KIND OF AN ENHANCED, UH, RECTANGULAR RAPID FLASHING DEACON OR RFP. 
          UM, THOSE ARE 
          [00:15:01]
THINGS WE HAVE A LOT OF IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, UH, BUT THIS, THIS ONE WILL BE A, A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT. 
          UM, AND, AND I'LL TALK ABOUT THAT. 
          SO THE TWO SIGNAL, THERE'RE TWO DIFFERENT TYPES. 
          WE'RE KIND OF TALKING TO THE TWO DIFFERENCES. 
          PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON HAVE A RED LIGHT FOR DRIVERS. 
          SO DRIVER COMES UP, IF SOMEONE'S CROSSING IN THE CROSSWALK, THEY HAVE A RED LIGHT. 
          UM, THE SIGNAL LOOKS A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT, UH, 'CAUSE YOU CAN SEE IT'S LIKE THREE LIGHTS, THE TWO RED LIGHTS ON TOP AND A YELLOW LIGHT ON BOTTOM. 
          UM, AND PEDESTRIANS HAVE, IT'S KINDA WHAT YOU'D SEE AT A SIGNAL. 
          SO IT'S A WALK OR IT DON'T WALK VERSUS, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU SEE A LOT TODAY, WHETHER IT'S OWENS TRAILER ARAPAHOE, UM, OR YOU KNOW, PLANO ROAD AT HUFFINES. 
          SOME OF THOSE AREAS WE HAVE, UH, RECTANGULAR RAPID FLASHING BEACONS WHERE IT'S A WARNING LIGHT TO DRIVERS. 
          SO IT'S WARNINGS AND ENT CROSSWALK. 
          UM, BUT IF A WARNING'S NOT TELLING THEM THEY HAVE TO STOP, UM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S KIND OF THE LEGAL ASPECTS OF IF SOMEONE'S IN A CROSSWALK, YOU DO HAVE TO STOP LEGALLY. 
          BUT, UM, JUST DIFFERENT THAN A, UH, TRUE RED LIGHT, UH, THAT THE PEDESTRIAN HYBRID HYDRO BRAKES. 
          UM, AND FOR PEDESTRIANS, THERE'S NO REAL SIGNALIZATION FOR THEM TO SAY WALK OR DON'T WALK. 
          IT'S MORE, LOOK, YOUR GAP IN TRAFFIC. 
          UM, AND YOU ARE STILL NAVIGATING THAT. 
          SIMILAR TO KIND OF AN UNSIGNED . 
          UM, OUR ENHANCED VERSION OF AN RFP IS A LOT OF WHAT YOU'VE SEEN KIND OF EVERYWHERE ELSE WE HAVE. 
          WE HAVE THESE ROADSIDE ONES, KINDA LIKE THE PICTURE ON THE RIGHT THERE, WHERE IT'S KIND OF ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD. 
          YOU KNOW, ONE IN THE MEDIAN, ONE ON THE OUTSIDE. 
          UH, WHAT WE'RE ADDING ON WEST SPRING VALLEY IS THERE'LL BE AN OVERHEAD. 
          UM, SO REALLY, YOU KNOW, WITH THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC ON WEST SPRING VALLEY, UM, KIND OF EVERY LANE, WE WILL EQUALLY BE ABLE TO SEE IT. 
          IT'S KIND OF OVERHEAD, SO IT'S A LITTLE MORE OBVIOUS AND APPARENT, UH, WHEN THOSE, UH, ARE FLASHING TOWARDS THE DRIVERS. 
          UH, WE'LL ALSO HAVE THIS OUT THE SIDE MOUNTED ONES AS WELL. 
          BUT, UM, KIND OF HAVING THE OVERHEAD, UH, TO GIVE THAT ADDITIONAL VISIBILITY TO DRIVERS. 
          UH, AN EXAMPLE OF WHERE YOU MAY HAVE SEEN ONE, 'CAUSE THIS IS THE FIRST, UH, PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON IN RICHARDSON, UH, WOULD BE UP IN PLANO IF YOU'RE EVER ON BLUE BONNET TRAIL AND ON THE DRIVE. 
          UM, DALLAS HAS A FEW ALSOS, YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THESE. 
          THEY'RE, THEY'RE NOT NEW TO THE REGION BUTON. 
          UH, AND GOING BACK, WELL, THE HISTORY OF IT. 
          SO THEY ARE, UM, DESIGNED, THEY'RE, THEY'RE A BEST PRACTICE FROM THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION WITH SOME WEAKERS BEHIND SHOWING THERE IS KIND OF PROVEN SAFETY THAT IT IS THAT THE WHOLE RED LIGHT FULL DRIVERS, UM, HELPS IMPROVE THAT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. 
          UM, OKAY, WHAT I WAS SAYING, AGAIN, PEDESTRIANS ARE GONNA HAVE THAT WALK, DON'T WALK SIGNAL DRIVERS. 
          UM, IT'LL BE NEW, BUT THAT SIGNALIZATION, UM, UH, RED, THERE'S A SIGN THAT IT'S GONNA TELL YOU AS A DRIVER, HERE'S HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO TREAT IT. 
          UM, WITH EDUCATION ON THE WEBSITE, C NET SLASH CROSSWALK, UM, WHERE WE'VE GOT THIS BLOCK HERE UP THERE WHERE KIND BIT SOLID RED, ITS A STOPLIGHT. 
          UM, YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING. 
          UM, BUT THEN LITTLE CAR, LIKE SLASHING RED, UM, AND THEN YOU GET TO STREET IT LIKE A STOP SIGN. 
          UM, AND SO THAT, IT'S ONE OF THOSE TRYING TO NOT, UH, CREATE EXCESSIVE DELAY FOR VEHICLES, UM, JUST BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEDESTRIAN OR ADVISE SPECIALISTS GET THROUGH THAT INTERSECTION REALLY FAST. 
          UM, BUT ALSO MAKING THEM STOP VERSUS JUST KIND OF WARNING THEM THAT THEY MIGHT TO STOP. 
          UH, WITH IT BEING NEW, WE ARE DOING SOME KINDA EDUCATION INITIATIVE OUT OF IT. 
          AGAIN, I MENTIONED THE WEBSITE. 
          WE HAVE, UM, WE'RE MAKING SOME YARD SIGNS THAT WILL GET PLACED AT THESE LOCATIONS. 
          SO FOR PEDESTRIANS, UM, THEY'LL BE ABLE TO, IT'LL HAVE KIND OF A QUICK HOW TO USE IT FOR PEDESTRIAN. 
          SO KINDA LIKE WE TALKED ABOUT, WE'RE GONNA HAVE BOTH THESE SIGNAL TYPES HURRY UP. 
          SO MAKING SURE PEDESTRIANS UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE. 
          IT'LL BE ENGLISH AND SPANISH. 
          AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE A QR CODE THAT'LL TAKE THEM TO THE WEBSITE, UH, WHERE THEY CAN LEARN MORE. 
          UM, AND THEN, YEAH, THROUGH OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT, THEY'LL BE, UH, POSTING SOME THINGS ON VIRTUAL MEDIA TODAY AND REVIEW SOME OF THOSE, UH, KIND OF COMMUNICATION ELEMENTS THAT THEY HAVE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ANY QUESTIONS ON THIS ONE? FOR HOW LONG DOES THE RED STAY? I, I WOULD HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW, HOW LONG IT SAVED RED. 
          UM, I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THE TIMING OF THAT. 
          YEAH, YOU AT LEAST IT COUNT DOWN AS A PEDESTRIAN ON THAT. 
          YEAH, FINE. 
          YEAH. 
          SO IT'S THREE TIMES SIMILAR TO A SIGNAL FOR PEDESTRIAN, BUT YEAH, YOU'RE GONNA HAVE YOUR WALK. 
          UM, IT'S ALSO, YEAH, IT'S GONNA BE TIMED IN A WAY THAT AS A PEDESTRIAN, YOU'RE GETTING ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE ROAD. 
          IT'S NOT LIKE, HEY, I GET HALFWAY AND THEN RESTART IN THE MEDIAN. 
          IT'S A, IT'LL TAKE YOU ALL THE WAY STRAIGHT ACROSS, UM, AND BE TIMED THAT WAY. 
          UM, BECAUSE I KNOW THAT WE'VE HIT THOSE WITH BIG GROUPS AND THE ENTIRE GROUP HASN'T BEEN ABLE TO GET ACROSS, BUT THAT'S OKAY. 
          TYPICALLY, THEY'RE, THEY'RE, THEY'RE TIMED FOR, RIGHT? A PEDESTRIAN WHO MAY NOT HAVE A, A HIGH AMBULATORY PACE, RIGHT? MM-HMM 
          [00:20:01]
. 
          RIGHT. 
          SO YOU'LL VARY THE FIVE BASED ON HOW WIDE IT, HOW WIDE IT IS THERE. 
          SO I IMAGINE, RIGHT. 
          IT'S BASED, IT'S, YOU KNOW, X FEET PER SECOND. 
          YEAH. 
          IN TERMS OF THAT, UH, STANDARD. 
          YOU GOT THE , YOUR GROOMS GOING INTO DO NOT KNOW HOW TO BRING FLASHING, JUST STOP AND THEY WON'T BE YEAH. 
          OH, I KNOW WHERE THE, LIKE THE NORTH OR, WELL, ON ABRAMS, I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ON ABRAMS, BUT YEAH, THERE'S A NEW ONE AND YEAH, I'VE SEEN PEOPLE JUST STOP. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          . 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          AND THAT'S WHY IT IS, IT'S GONNA BE AN EDUCATION. 
          I HONESTLY, PROBABLY MORE FOR DRIVERS THAN ANYONE, JUST 'CAUSE THAT SIGNAL TYPE'S GONNA LOOK DIFFERENT FOR THEM AND YOU JUST BEHAVE A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENTLY. 
          UM, I WOULD RATHER THEM, YEAH, EVERYONE JUST STOP AND DO NOTHING THAN RUN THROUGH IT. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, IT'LL BE KIND OF EDUCATION AND IT'S ONE THAT, UH, WE'LL CONTINUE KIND OF MONITORING IT AS IT DOES TURN ON. 
          WE'RE EXPECTING, UH, BY THE END OF THE MONTH, GET TURNED ON. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UH, SO YEAH, IF YOU'VE DRIVEN DOWN THERE, YOU CAN SEE THEM ALL UP. 
          UH, SO JUST GETTING SOME OF THE PROGRAMMING IN. 
          UH, THE OTHER ELEMENT NOTICE IS, UH, JAR JUST UPGRADING ALL THEIR BUS STOPS IN THAT AREA. 
          UM, AND I KNOW, YOU KNOW, DARK HAS KIND A LARGER PROGRAM LOOKING AT ALL THEIR BUS STOP AMENITIES. 
          UM, AND, UH, WE'RE HOPING, UH, EITHER NEXT MEETING OR THE ONE AFTER, UH, TO HAVE DAR COME IN TO BE ABLE TO TALK MORE ABOUT KIND OF THEIR, THEIR BUS STOP AMENITIES, KIND OF HOW THEY'RE PUTTING SHELTERS, BENCHES, UM, ESPECIALLY KINDA WHAT ARE THOSE FEATURES OF THE NEW SHELTERS, UH, WHICH, UH, YOU CAN SEE SOME OF 'EM KIND OF IN THE UTD AREA ALONG SYNERGY AND THEN ALONG, UM, RENTER WEST OF COY, UM, PT G FROM SHELTER R UH, WHICH ARE DEFINITELY NICE AND A LOT OF SAFETY FEATURES. 
          UM, BUT THOSE ALL BE COMING INTO THIS AREA OF WEST SPRING AS WELL. 
          NOW, WHEN A PEDESTRIAN HITS THE BUTTON, DOES IT ACTIVATE IMMEDIATELY OR IS THERE LIKE A WAIT FOR THE TRAFFIC? SO YEAH, YOU'LL, YOU'LL HAVE TO WAIT. 
          ESPECIALLY WITH THIS ONE THAT'S SO CLOSE TO THAT CO AND SPRING VALLEY, UM, WE HAVE IT TIED TO THAT INTERSECTION. 
          SO A LOT OF THAT IT'S, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO BALANCE KIND OF VEHICLE MOVEMENT AND NOT BACKING UP THAT INTERSECTION, UH, WITH THIS, THAT, YEAH, THOSE WILL BE KIND OF CONNECTED AND HOW THEY'RE, HOW THEY'RE TIME. 
          SO THERE ARE, AND THAT'S ONE OF THOSE, THERE'S TRADE OFFS BETWEEN KIND OF, UH, HYBRID BEACON GIVING A STOP, BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO WAIT AS A PEDESTRIAN. 
          AND YOU MAY BE LIKE, 'CAUSE I KNOW THERE'S ONE IN, IN DALLAS THAT I KEEP PEOPLE, THEY NEVER PUSH THE BUTTON BECAUSE THERE'S LIKE, WELL, THERE'S TONS OF GAPS IN TRAFFIC. 
          I'M JUST GONNA GO WHEN I WANT. 
          I DON'T WANNA WAIT FOR THE WALK SIGNAL. 
          UM, VERSUS HYBRID OR, UH, THE RAPID FLASHING BEACON, YOU PUSH IT, THE LIGHTS TURN ON IMMEDIATELY, UM, BUT YOU'RE NOT GUARANTEED A CAR'S GONNA STOP. 
          NOPE. 
          SO THERE'S JUST TRADE US BETWEEN THE TWO OF KIND OF, WHICH KIND OF DELAY IN DECISION MAKING. 
          UH, YOU AS A PEDESTRIAN OR CYCLIST YOU'RE MAKING, JUST TO CLARIFY, IF THERE'S A PEDESTRIAN IN A MARKED CROSSWALK, THEY MUST STOP. 
          CORRECT. 
          LEGALLY CORRECT. 
          LEGALLY, LEGALLY DOESN'T HELP YOU. 
          RIGHT? YEAH. 
          , BUT 'CAUSE THEY'RE STILL BIGGER THAN YOU. 
          RIGHT. 
          BUT THEY'RE REQUIRED TO STOP BY WALKING. 
          THEY'RE NOT DO SO NOW, AND THE, AND THE WORD IS IN THE CROSSWALK. 
          IF THEY'RE STANDING ON THE SIDEWALK WAITING TO GET INTO THE CROSSWALK, THEY, YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT, THAT COUNTS. 
          RIGHT. 
          YOU KNOW, NOT REALLY. 
          IF IT'S BLINKING, YES. 
          OKAY. 
          IF IT'S BLINKING, YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          BUT NOT IF THEY'RE JUST WAITING. 
          RIGHT. 
          OKAY. 
          MR. CHAIR, IF I MAY, JUST A POINT OF CLARIFICATION TO DANIEL'S COMMENT ABOUT, UH, SYNCHRONIZING IT WITH THE SPRING VALLEY AND KOI. 
          UH, AGAIN, THERE WILL BE A LITTLE BIT OF A DELAY THERE SO THAT YOU CAN FLUSH YEAH. 
          AND CYCLE THROUGH THAT SIGNAL. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AS DANIEL SAID, WHAT YOU DON'T WANT EITHER THEN IS HAVING VEHICLES 'CAUSE IT'S RELATIVELY CLOSE. 
          RIGHT? RIGHT. 
          ESPECIALLY FOR THE EASTBOUND. 
          SO WHAT YOU DON'T WANT, AH, WHAT YOU DON'T WANT IS SAY AM OR PM RUSH HOUR. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND YOU HAVE X NUMBER OF VEHICLES GOING THROUGH THERE BACK UP INTO THAT INTERSECTION. 
          RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT. 
          NO, I THINK THAT, SO THAT, SO THERE'S, THAT'S A GREAT IDEA TO, TO TO, TO TIE THEM TOGETHER LIKE THAT. 
          WE ANTICIPATE THERE TO BE SOME LEVEL OF LEARNING CURVE. 
          AND I THINK DANIEL, DANIEL MAY TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SOME, SOME MARKETING, UH, OPPORTUNITIES AND SOME SIGNAGE OUT THERE WITH QR CODES TO, TO HELP. 
          OKAY. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          YEAH, SO THAT WAS KINDA WHAT I MENTIONED TO YOUR BOTTOM, THAT YEAH, THE BOTTOM GRAPHIC, WHAT, UH, EXAMPLE OF THE YARD SIGN THAT WE'LL BE PRINTING, UH, TO BE PLACED OUT THERE. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND SOME OF THIS IS PREPARATION. 
          THIS IS NOT THE ONLY PEDESTRIAN HYDRO BEACON. 
          WE HAVE FUNDING RIGHT NOW. 
          WE HAVE OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          I HEARD DEVELOPMENT. 
          UM, THE 
          [00:25:01]
NEXT ONE UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW IS ON SYNERGY. 
          UH, IT'S CONNECTED TO BEL TRAIL. 
          UH, SO KIND OF BETWEEN FLOYD AND POINT NORTH AND MIDWAY NEXT TO POINT NORTH PARK. 
          UH, WE HAVE ONE, UH, UNDER CONSTRUCTION RIGHT NOW. 
          UM, BUT THERE'S OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY, UH, FUNDED. 
          AND SO KIND OF HOW DO WE, UH, IMPLEMENT THIS KIND OF EDUCATION, UH, AS, AS NEW ONES COME ONLINE, UH, JUST WITH IT THAT, UH, JUST BEING NEW TO COMMUNITY, UM, BUT HAVING THE WEBSITE AS A, UH, A A RESOURCE KIND OF DEFINE BOTH, UM, YOU BE ABLE TO POINT PEOPLE TO THAT, UH, ESPECIALLY AS KIND THAT SOCIAL MEDIA AND OTHER OUTREACH. 
          AND YEAH, WE DO COMMUNITY EVENTS. 
          WE'LL TALK MORE ABOUT BIKE BIKE MONTH AND SOME OF THOSE WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE FLYERS AND AGAIN, POINT PEOPLE TO THE WEBSITE. 
          SOME INFORMATION WE HAVE ON, UH, ANY MORE QUESTIONS ON THE, UH, UH, WEST SPRING VALLEY PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT. 
          UM, ANYTHING ELSE? OKAY. 
          SO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, DANIEL, AGAIN, UH, IS GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. 
          THANK YOU. 
          SO ANOTHER KINDA ELEMENT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE WE, UH, EVALUATING HOW WE'RE COMMUNICATING ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UH, THIS WAS ANOTHER, UM, I HEARD IT FROM A, A FEW DIFFERENT SIDES. 
          SOME IS FROM KIND OF THE BIKE LEAGUE OF, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH THE COMMUNITY SURVEY, DOING THE BIKE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY, UH, APPLICATION. 
          UH, YOU KNOW, ARE PEOPLE, AS THEY FILL OUT THAT SURVEY, ARE THEY AWARE OF ALL THE INITIATIVES HE WORKING ON AND HAS ONGOING, UH, RELATED TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION. 
          UH, SIMILARLY, YOU KNOW, WE, WE COMMUNICATE WITH RESIDENT RESIDENTS OF RICHARDSON, BUT WITH THE LARGER BIKING, RUNNING, WALKING COMMUNITIES THAT, THAT USE RICHARDSON FACILITIES, HOW ARE, ARE THEY AWARE OF, UH, SOME OF THE THINGS ONGOING? UM, AND SO HOW DO WE KEEP PEOPLE INFORMED WITH THESE PROJECTS? UM, AS WELL AS HIGHLIGHTING CERTAIN SAFETY, YOU KNOW, PROGRAMS, EDUCATION CAMPAIGNS. 
          WE HAVE SIMILAR, YOU KNOW, TO WHAT WE WERE JUST TALKING ABOUT WITH NEW FACILITY TYPES COMING IN, UM, AS WELL AS ANNOUNCING UPCOMING EVENTS LIKE OUR BIKE ROADS WE'VE DONE, UM, OR EVEN, UH, WITHIN OUR CLOSURES. 
          UH, THINGS LIKE FOUNTAIN BELT, TRAILS, CAUSE, AND SILVER LINE THAT CAUSE KIND OF CLOSURES, TEMPORARY CLOSURES TO TRAILS. 
          UM, AND SO HOW DO WE HELP COMMUNICATE THAT OUT TO COMMUNITY NEEDS? UH, A LOT OF EXISTING THINGS WE HAVE ON ALREADY. 
          UH, SO WITH, YOU KNOW, THIS BPAC GROUP, UH, THESE ARE ALL, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC MEETINGS. 
          THEY'RE ALL AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. 
          THE PRESENTATION SLIDES ARE ALL AVAILABLE ONLINE. 
          UH, THE MEETING MINUTES, AUDIO RECORD, EVERYTHING'S AVAILABLE. 
          SO THIS IS ALL A WAY THAT WE'RE COMMUNICATING, UM, UH, ONGOING INITIATIVES IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE GOT THE BIKE RODEO, UH, WHICH WAS REALLY INITIATED OUT OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. 
          UH, WE'VE UPDATED THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION WEBPAGE, UH, TO REALLY INTEGRATE A LOT OF THE TRANSPORTATION, UH, ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. 
          UM, AND THEN EVEN THIS YEAR, OR ACTUALLY, YEAH, IT WAS EARLIER THIS YEAR, KINDA INTO LAST YEAR, UM, WE CREATED A IMPLEMENTATION STATUS PAGE, UM, OUT OF THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION. 
          UH, BECAUSE IN THAT PLAN THERE'S A WORK PLAN KIND OF OUTLYING SHORT TERM TERM, LONG TERM, UH, INITIATIVES. 
          UH, AND SO NOW WE'RE KIND OF TRACKING. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE A STATUS ON EACH OF THOSE, OF WHAT'S IN PROGRESS, WHAT'S UPCOMING. 
          UM, WE LINK TO CERTAIN THINGS, UH, LIKE BY PARKING REGULATIONS, THE COMPLETE STREETS POLICY. 
          UH, SO WE CAN, UH, KINDA SHARE HOW IS THAT PLAN GETTING IMPLEMENTED. 
          UH, SIMILARLY WITH ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROJECT UPDATES, UM, THAT PAGE WAS CREATED TO SHOW A MAP OF HERE'S THE FACILITIES THAT WERE BUILT AND KIND OF ON AT 2023 WHEN THE A TP WAS ADOPTED. 
          AND HERE'S EVERYTHING THAT'S BEEN BUILT SINCE. 
          AND HERE'S OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE FUNDED. 
          UH, SO YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW THAT NETWORK HAS GROWN OVER TIME. 
          UM, AND THEN WE DO HAVE ON THAT WE HAVE SUB PAGES FOR THE COTTON BELT TRAIL IN GREENVILLE, APA OR GREENVILLE AVENUE. 
          UH, JUST FOR THOSE KIND OF SPECIFIC INITIATIVES. 
          UH, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, OCCASIONALLY WE HAVE, UH, DIFFERENT UPDATES IN RICHARDSON TODAY OR WE CAN REVIEW, UH, THOSE ARE USUALLY MORE MAJOR THINGS LIKE COTTON BELT TRAIL, UH, MAJOR MILESTONES OUT OF THOSE PROJECTS. 
          UM, AND RICHARDSON TODAY, SOMETIMES WE'LL, WE'LL HIT ON THINGS LIKE, UH, ITEMS WE'VE TALKED ABOUT HERE WHERE LIKE THE KIND OF CONFLICT POINT, THE DRIVER EXIT AND KIND OF THAT IF YOU'RE ON A SIDEWALK, YOU'RE IN A BIKE LANE, UH, KIND OF THAT CONFLICT OF GETTING HIT IN THOSE POINTS. 
          AND, UH, THEY'VE A COMMUNICATION TO YOUR KIDS. 
          CREATED SOME GRAPHICS AND INFORMATION THAT'S BEEN ENRICHED IN TODAY, UH, TO HELP IN THAT. 
          UH, BUT ONE THING WE'RE LOOKING AT IS, UH, AND KIND OF LOOKING FOR Y'ALL'S FEEDBACK ON, IS CONSIDERING DURATION OF SOME KIND OF ACCESS TRANSPORTATION NEWSLETTER. 
          SO SIMILAR TO OTHER THINGS LIKE THE WEEKEND REVIEW, YOU CAN GO ONLINE, YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR NEWSLETTER, EVERYONE CAN KINDA OPT IN, UH, WHETHER THEY'RE A RICHARDSON RESIDENT OR, UH, OUTSIDE OF THAT, UM, UH, TO BE ABLE TO WRITE EMAIL UPDATES. 
          AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, WE CAN REVIEW HAPPENS ON A WEEKLY BASIS. 
          WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT DO THAT. 
          BUT, UM, 
          [00:30:01]
BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE THOSE UPDATES TO KIND OF A GROUP OF USERS WHO SELF-SELECT THAT THEY WANT, FIND OUT MORE INFORMATION ABOUT, UH, ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES IN THE COMMUNITY. 
          ONE OF THE DECISIONS YOU HAVE TO KIND OF MAKE WITH THAT IS WHAT DO YOU INCLUDE, UM, TO KIND OF ING, YOU KNOW, PROJECT DEPUTIES? WHAT ARE, YOU KNOW, LOT OF HERE, UM, ON, YOU KNOW, BIKE LANES,  TRAILS, WHAT ARE ALL THOSE KIND OF INFRASTRUCTURE COMPONENTS? SIDEWALK APPS, UM, INTERSECTION SAFETY UPGRADES, UH, THEN ALSO THAT SAFETY AND EDUCATION. 
          SO SEASONAL SAFETY REMINDERS, YOU KNOW, TALK KINDA FALL TIME. 
          YOU START DAYLIGHT SAVINGS, IT GETS DARKER EARLIER. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, LIGHTS, REFLECTIVE GEAR, UH, SOME OF THOSE THINGS. 
          UM, THEN EDUCATION ON NEW ELEMENTS LIKE THE PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACON, BUS STOP BIKE SIGNALS, UM, AS WELL AS LIKE SCHOOL ZONE SAFETY. 
          UH, AND THEN COMMUNITY EVENTS LIKE THE BIKE RADIOS, COMMUNITY RIDES, UM, AS WELL AS OTHER UPCOMING THINGS LIKE PUBLIC MEETINGS OR SURVEYS, UH, WHERE WE'LL TALK ABOUT THINGS LIKE TEXT DOTS, UH, ISSUE, BIKE PLAN SURVEY, UH, AND BE ABLE TO DO THAT. 
          UH, SO KIND OF THE DISCUSSION LOOKING FOR FEEDBACK ON IS, YOU KNOW, IS A NEWSLETTER BENEFICIAL? UM, IS THAT SOMETHING YOU THINK WOULD BE HELPFUL FOR THE COMMUNITY? IS THAT THE RIGHT FORMAT? A DIFFERENT FORMAT, UH, CONTENTS THERE, ANYTHING ADDITIONAL? ANYTHING YOU'RE LIKE, NO, DON'T DO THAT. 
          UM, SOME DECISIONS ALSO ARE, YOU KNOW, REFERENCES TO LOCAL BIKE SHOPS. 
          THEY ARE LOCAL TO THE COMMUNITY, BUT WE REFERENCE PRIVATE BUSINESS OR NOT PRIVATE BUSINESS, SIMILAR WITH LIKE COMMUNITY RIDES, UH, OR COMMUNITY RUNS. 
          ARE THEY, DO WE INCLUDE EVERYONE? IS IT BY REQUEST OR DO WE NOT INCLUDE ANYONE? UM, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, THOSE SOMETIMES GET ASSOCIATED WITH PRIVATE BUSINESSES. 
          AND SO DO WE REALLY WANNA BE INCLUDING THAT? UH, OR DO WE INCLUDE EVERYONE OR HOW DO WE, UH, MAKE SOME OF THE DECISIONS OF WHAT TO INCLUDE OR EXCLUDE? UH, AND THEN FREQUENCY, YOU KNOW, WE'RE RECOMMENDING PROBABLY STARTING AT LEAST AT MORE LIKE A QUARTERLY BASIS, UH, ESPECIALLY ON INFRASTRUCTURE. 
          THEY DON'T MOVE THAT FAST. 
          UM, AND SO KIND OF BEING ABLE TO PROVIDE, UH, UPDATES, UH, A QUARTERLY BASIS. 
          WE COULD DO SPECIAL ADDITIONS OF IF THERE ARE MAJOR MILESTONES IN BETWEEN. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, TODAY LOOKING FOR KIND OF FEEDBACK ON THAT. 
          AND THEN FROM THAT WE CAN LOOK AT WHAT ARE, WHAT ARE THOSE NEXT STEPS OF HOW TO, UH, TO MOVE FORWARD. 
          SO I'LL HAND IT TO YOU, MR. CHAIR. 
          SO, SO, SO YOU SAY THIS IS, UH, THE SAME AS OTHER CITY NEWSLETTERS. 
          HAVE YOU COMMUNICATED WITH OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CITY, UH, ON HOW SUCCESSFUL THEIR NEWSLETTERS ARE OR, SO IT DEFINITELY VARIES. 
          I'VE TALKED TO OUR COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT WITH IT, UM, AND YOU KNOW, THERE WAS KIND OF A CULTURAL ARTS AND EVENTS AND THAT WAS THE ONE THAT WENT THROUGH THERE THAT, THAT COMMITTEE. 
          AND THEY WERE LIKE, YEAH, THAT ONE HAS, LIKE, THEY HAVE MORE SUBSCRIBERS ON THAT THAN THEY HAVE FOR LIKE WEEKEND REVIEW, WHICH IS KIND OF THE GENERAL YEAH. 
          CITY. 
          AND SO IT DEFINITELY VARIES, YOU KNOW, SIMILAR TO, UH, YOU COMPARE LIKE HOW MANY PEOPLE TOOK THE SURVEY FOR THE SAFETY ACTION PLAN OR ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. 
          WE'LL TAKE IT FOR LIKE THE COMPREHENSIVE VISION RICHARDSON PLAN. 
          UM, PEOPLE ARE GONNA SELF-SELECT ON IT. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A SMALLER WINDOW. 
          PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY SPECIFIC WANTING TO LEARN ABOUT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION, UM, THEN WHO MAY CARE ABOUT ALL ONGOINGS IN THE CITY. 
          UH, WE CAN REVIEW. 
          UH, SO IT'S GONNA VARY. 
          YEAH. 
          SO, AND YOU'RE ASKING ABOUT ONE BIG ADVANTAGE. 
          WE ALWAYS KEEP, AT LEAST THOSE OF US OF, OF A CERTAIN PAGE, ALWAYS THINK OF A PAPER NEWSLETTER. 
          YOU KNOW, ONE BIG ADVANTAGE OF IT BEING AN EMAIL IS THE ABILITY TO PUT LINKS IN IT. 
          I KNOW THAT CERTAIN GROUPS AND CERTAIN, UH, INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT DOING, UH, YOUTUBE, UH, ARTICLES, WHATEVER YOU WOULD CALL OF YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON INTEREST TO, UH, TRANSPORTATION AND RICHARDSON AND LIKE LINKS TO THOSE MIGHT, MIGHT BE, MIGHT BE SOMETHING THAT COULD BE, UH, COULD BE PUT INTO A, INTO A NEWSLETTER LIKE THAT, THAT, THAT OFTENTIMES YOU DON'T SEE WHEN YOU THINK OF IT MORE THAN ELECTRONIC BECAUSE ALMOST LIKE A PORT UP, A EMAILED WEBPAGE WHERE IT LINKS TO OTHER THINGS AND SUCH. 
          DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY COMMENTS ON THIS? BUT UH, FOR THE PROJECT UPDATES, YOU KNOW, WHEN IT'S DONE IS EXCITING, BUT ALSO WING TRAILS ARE CLOSED DOWN. 
          IT'S LIKE FOR THE WATER MAIN PROJECT. 
          OH YEAH. 
          OR FOR WHEN THAT WAREHOUSE IS BEING BUILT ON PLANO, WHEN THAT WILL CLOSE, JUST KNOWING THAT BEFORE YOU HEAD OUT IS HELPFUL. 
          THAT'S A REALLY GOOD IDEA. 
          I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT. 
          I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF RUNNERS THAT WOULD SIGN UP FOR IT. 
          LIKE ME KNOWING TRAILS THAT ARE COMING, GETTING TO SEE THE HOT DEVELOP TRAIL AND PROGRESS ON THAT. 
          I YOU GREAT LIVING AGREE. 
          WOULD THIS BE HANDLED BY THE CITY OF COMMUNICATIONS DEPARTMENT OR SO THAT'S WHAT WE WORK ON. 
          THEY WOULD HELP US, YEAH. 
          BUILD THE TEMPLATE FOR IT. 
          UM, 
          [00:35:01]
ONE OF 'EM IS WORKING ON HOW DO WE FILL OUT CONTENT ON IT. 
          UH, I THINK SOME OF THE CONTENT WOULD OVERLAP HEAVILY WITH KIND OF WHAT WE PRESENT Y'ALL HERE. 
          UM, I THINK THAT'S, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO FIND SOME EFFICIENCY THAN THAT. 
          I WOULD IMAGINE THAT WOULD BECOME A AGENDA ITEM. 
          BUT WHAT DO ANY OF US HAVE THAT WE PLACE, I DO THINK QUARTERLY IS ABOUT THE RIGHT FREQUENCY. 
          WOULD LIKE TO SEE THAT MATCH UP WITH THE FEW WEEKS BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS FOR AT LEAST ONE. 
          I THINK WE GET A LOT OF THE PEDESTRIAN CONCERNS AROUND THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL YEAR. 
          UM, I WAS KIND OF PURE THING THAT BILL WAS THAT, YOU KNOW, WHAT PERCENT OF RICH POPULATION THE CITIZENS WOULD ACTUALLY SEE THESE THINGS OR, OR BE AWARE OF IT. 
          AND IS THERE ARE SOME OF THE WAY, YOU KNOW, TO REACH A WIDER PORTION OF THE CITY RATHER THAN MAKING THEM DO SOME AFFIRMATIVE THING LIKE THIS, PUT SOMETHING IN THEIR UTILITY BILL OR SOMETHING, YOU KNOW, ON A QUARTERLY BASIS OR A SEMI-ANNUAL BASIS OR WHATEVER. 
          JUST SAY, HEY, YOU KNOW, CHECK OUT OUR WEBSITE SO YOU'LL KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON IN THE CITY. 
          I DON'T KNOW, BUT, UH, I I CAN'T IMAGINE THERE'S TOO BIG OF A PERCENT OF THE POPULATION THAT WOULD EVEN BE AWARE OF THIS STUFF IS MY POINT. 
          YEAH, WELL I THINK IT'S, LIKE DANIEL SAID, WE MIGHT HAVE A FAIRLY SMALL IN TERMS OF A NUMBER, BUT IT MIGHT, IT'LL, IT'LL SELF-SELECT INTO THE PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN. 
          WELL, AND THAT'S TRUE, BUT I THINK IT CAN EXPAND OVER TIME WHERE OH YEAH, IT IS THE SIGN UP. 
          SO IT'S, YOU'RE SIGNING UP AND YOU'RE KIND OF GETTING IT REGULARLY. 
          YOU KNOW, THE, LIKE THE ACTUAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN WE HAD, I THINK IT'S A LITTLE BIT SHY OF A THOUSAND PEOPLE TOOK THAT SURVEY. 
          UM, BUT I THINK IT IS, ONCE YOU SIGN UP, TELL YOUR NEIGHBOR ABOUT IT. 
          I THINK IT IS WITH THE OVERALL INTEREST IN BIKING, WALKING, RUNNING, I THINK BE ABLE TO, ACROSS ALL OF THOSE ELEMENTS, I THINK WE'LL GET MORE INTEREST IN BEING, YOU KNOW, BIKE SPECIFIC OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WHERE YEAH, WE ARE GETTING THE RUNNERS AND THE FLEET FEED. 
          UM, AND, AND IT'S SOMETHING, YEAH, WHEN WE LAUNCH IT COULD BE, UM, WORKING WITH BUSINESSES LIKE FLEET FEED, BIKE MART, THE BIKE SHOP TO HELP PROMOTE IT AS WELL. 
          UH, OUR BIKE RODEO, WE'VE PUT OUT FLYERS, UH, JUST THAT THEY'LL POST AT THEIR STORES, UM, TO HELP KINDA BRING AWARENESS TO IT. 
          AND SO, BUT THIS MIGHT BE A CENTRAL THEN I THINK THIS WOULD BE BETTER THAN, LET'S GO TO THIS WEBSITE BECAUSE PEOPLE WILL FORGET ABOUT THE WEBSITE, BUT THIS THOUGH, AT LEAST GET A REMINDER AND THEN WE CAN ACTUALLY PUB, WE CAN PUBLICIZE THAT. 
          WE COULD PUT QR CODES ON, ON ON GIVEAWAYS AND STUFF LIKE THAT. 
          AND, AND THAT MIGHT ALSO BE A, A, A, UH, A  HOW MANY PEOPLE SIGNED UP IN THIS LAST QUARTER AND HOW MANY PEOPLE DIDN'T SIGN UP. 
          AND I ASSUME THERE'LL BE A, UH, UH, OR, OR I, I GUESS I SHOULDN'T ASSUME ANOTHER REALLY GOOD THING WOULD BE SUGGESTIONS AND, YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW, SO WE CAN REVIEW, UH, UH, WHAT, WHAT SUGGESTIONS PEOPLE THAT BELONG TO THE NEWSLETTER MIGHT, MIGHT PUT IN, I FORGET IF THERE'S ANOTHER PUBLIC INPUT PHASE TO SAFER STREETS, BUT FOR THINGS LIKE THAT YOU COULD CO-MARKET THE LIST. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THAT IS DEFINITELY TRUE. 
          YEAH. 
          IT'S A GOOD WAY TO KINDA HAVE THE DIFFERENT EVENTS AND SURVEYS, BEING ABLE TO HELP USE THAT PLATFORM TO YEAH, AND JUST PUT 'EM AT THE SHOPS LIKE THAT. 
          OH YEAH. 
          PLENTY SHOPS AND YEAH, YOU CAN PROBABLY SHOPS AND OTHER FAMILIES PROVIDE CONTENT. 
          OH YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          OK. 
          OKAY. 
          ANY MORE COMMENTS ON THAT? I THINK EVERYBODY AGREES THIS IS A GOOD IDEA AND THEN WE'LL JUST HAVE TO TRACK IT AS IT GOES ALONG TO SEE IF WE CAN MAKE IT MORE USEFUL, LESS CONFUSING OR, OR WHATEVER. 
          SO I'M SURE EVERYBODY WANTS TO GET ANOTHER AUTOMATED EMAIL WITHIN USEFUL INFORMATION, RIGHT. 
          , THAT'S ALL MY INFORMATION I GET FROM THE CITY. 
          , YOU FROM THE CITY? I DON'T EVER ACTIVELY GO. 
          NO. 
          IS A WEBSITE TO FIND. 
          YEAH, I JUST GO TO FIND OUT WHAT MY LIBRARY BOOKS ARE OVERDUE. 
          SO, UH, SO, UH, ANY ANY OTHER CO COMMENTS ON THIS SUBJECT? OKAY, THE NEXT ONE IS REVIEW AND DISCUSS. 
          BUS, BUS STOP DESIGN ALONG BIKE. 
          ALRIGHT, LITTLE BACKGROUND ON THIS IN THE END. 
          UM, SO AGAIN, WE WORK ON THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN. 
          YOU KNOW, WE'RE BUILDING A, A FEW NEW BIKE LANES. 
          WE'RE ENHANCING SOME BIKE LANES, UM, YOU KNOW, ESPECIALLY MOVING TOWARDS SEPARATED OR PROTECTED BIKE LANES. 
          UM, 
          [00:40:01]
WE HAVE SOME THAT OVERLAP AND COINCIDE WITH, UH, BUS ROUTES, UH, TRANSIT STOP ALONG THOSE ROUTES. 
          AND SO WE'RE LOOKING AT, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE BE A LITTLE MORE CONSISTENT AND CLEAR WHERE BUS STOPS ARE ALONG BIKE ROUTES AND MANAGING THOSE CONFLICT POINTS, UM, AND BEING ABLE TO CONSIDER ALL USERS IN THAT. 
          UH, SO WE ARE TALKING, WALKING, BIKING, AND, UH, THOSE USING TRANSIT. 
          UH, SO REALLY LOOKING AT THE SAFETY INTERACTIONS AND AT SAFETY INTERACTIONS BETWEEN BUSES AND BICYCLISTS AS WELL AS START LOOKING AT DESIGN. 
          SOME OF IT TURN INTO SAFETY TO CLEAN BUTTS AND BETWEEN LIGHTS AND PEDESTRIANS. 
          UM, AND THEN WHAT ARE THOSE IMPACTS ON BUS OPERATIONS AS WELL AS KIND OF OUR, OUR OVERALL, UH, VEHICLE OPERATIONS. 
          UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THE DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS ALSO HAVE TO LOOK AT AVAILABLE RIGHT AWAY. 
          UH, AND ALL OF THAT IS REALLY IN LINE WITH THE COMPLETE STREET POLICY THAT WAS ADOPTED IN 2024. 
          HOW WE'RE WORKING WITH OTHER AGENCIES LIKE DART, UM, AND ACROSS DEPARTMENTS AND IMPLEMENTING THAT, UH, KIND OF BEST PRACTICES, UH, HIGH QUALITY DESIGN ON OUR FACILITIES. 
          KIND OF LOOKING AT WHERE DO WE HAVE BIKE ROUTES WITH BUS STOPS. 
          WE REALLY DON'T HAVE THAT MANY. 
          UM, AND THAT'S VERY RELATIVE. 
          THEY'RE KIND OF FOCUSED IN TWO AREAS RIGHT NOW. 
          UTB AREA, YOU'VE GOT SYNERGY. 
          THAT'S PROBABLY ONE OF OUR HIGHEST AREAS. 
          SO SYNERGY BETWEEN WATER V AND FLOYD. 
          UM, WE'VE GOT BIKE LANES TODAY. 
          WE'VE GOT THE 8 83 BUS ROUTE, WHICH IS A RELATIVELY HIGHER FREQUENCY BUS ROUTE. 
          UM, AND WE DO HAVE A PROJECT FUNDED IN THAT AREA TO, TO LOOK AT ENHANCEMENTS, KINDA COMPLETE STREETS ENHANCEMENTS, UM, UH, FOR PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS AS WELL AS BIKE LANES. 
          UM, ALONG SYNERGY, UH, TO HELP KIND OF MANAGE SOME OF THE CONFLICTS AND IMPROVE SAFETY IN THAT, IN THAT CORRIDOR. 
          UH, ALSO YOU, THE AREA WE GET WATER VIEW FROM CAMPBELL TO FRANKFORT, UH, WHERE THERE'S ALSO ANOTHER, UH, THAT SAME 8 83 BUS ROUTE. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER AREA IS KIND OF THE RICHARDSON IQ AREA, A LITTLE MORE GENERAL. 
          UH, IN GENERAL YOU CAN SAY KIND OF COLLINS ALMA AREA. 
          SO YOU'VE GOT COLLINS FROM ALMA TO PLANO. 
          UH, WE'VE GOT A BUS, BUS ROUTE THERE. 
          THEN YOU'VE GOT, UH, KIND OF ALMA, WHICH TURNS INTO GROVE FROM COLLINS SOUTH TO UH, WOODALL, WHICH IS WHERE THEY TIE INTO, UM, THE ARAPAHO STATION THERE. 
          AND THEN THE OTHER ONE THAT'S FUNDED RIGHT NOW, IT'S UNDERDESIGNED, UH, IS EXTENSION OF THE COLLINS BIKE LANE FROM ALMA E. 
          GOT THE COST 75 UP TO CHEMICAL. 
          UM, AND AGAIN, THERE'S, AND SO THAT'S UNDER DESIGN. 
          AND SO THAT'S ANOTHER ELEMENT OF, UH, SPECIFICALLY WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT IT IS INSTALLING THOSE BIKE LANES. 
          HOW DO WE INTEGRATE THOSE BUS STOPS, UH, INTO THAT DESIGN? AND SO YOU'LL SEE SOME, LIKE ALMA, I GOT THE PICTURE ON THE TOP THERE. 
          UH, YOU CAN SEE THE BUS STOPS AT THE CURB, THE BUS, THEY JUST PULL INTO THE BIKE LANE. 
          UM, UH, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE NEEDING A DA ACCESS, UH, LOADING AND UNLOADING PASSENGER, SO THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO PULL ALL TOYOTA OVER THERE THINKING SOMETHING LIKE GREENVILLE WHERE WE ADDED THE CURB SEPARATORS. 
          WE DID SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON OMA. 
          UH, NOW YOU'VE CREATED AN ISSUE FOR THE BUS OPERATORS. 
          HOW DO THEY ACTUALLY PICK UP PASSENGERS, UM, AND MAINTAIN A DA COMPLIANCE. 
          UM, AND SO ONE, UH, ONE PROJECT UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW AND IT'S NEARLY FINISHED IS THAT PICTURE ON THE BOTTOM THAT'S ON COLLINS AT GLENVILLE, UH, WHERE, UH, YOU CAN KIND OF START TO SEE IT WHERE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE THAT'S THE BIKE LANE THAT'S COMING TOWARDS YOU, UM, UH, IN THE PICTURE. 
          AND THEN YOU'VE GOT THE SIDEWALK BEHIND ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE RED LINE. 
          UH, AND YOU CAN KIND OF SEE A JUT OUT FOR WHERE THE BUS SHELTER WOULD EVENTUALLY GO. 
          AND SO THIS LETS THE BUS STOP THE IN LANE, THE PEOPLE KIND WALKING ACROSS ARE GONNA HAVE TO CROSS THE BIKE LANE. 
          SO THAT'S WHERE WE'VE ENTERED THAT KIND OF BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN CONFLICT. 
          UM, BUT WE'LL BE ADDING MARKINGS TO KIND OF NOTIFY WHO HAS THE RIGHT OF WAY, WHO'S YIELDING WHERE THE BIKES ARE GONNA HAVE TO YIELD. 
          UM, BUT IT'S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE YOU START CREATING IMPACTS WITH GROUP RIDES, SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT, UM, IT'S GONNA KIND OF CHANGE THE DYNAMICS OF HOW THEY ARRIVE. 
          WHAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR HOW DO WE CONSIDER DIFFERENT DESIGN GUIDELINES IS, UH, TWO, SO THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF CITY TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS NCO AND THE AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF THE STATE HIGHWAY AND TRANSPORTATION OFFICIALS AASHTO, UH, THEY BOTH PUBLISHED, UH, NEW GUIDELINES AND THE KIND OF 24, 25, UH, 20 24, 20 25, UH, TIMEFRAME. 
          UM, AND THERE'S A LOT OF OVERLAP BETWEEN, BETWEEN THE TWO MANUALS, A LOT OF SIMILARITIES. 
          UH, BUT IN GENERAL THEY KINDA HAVE THREE CATEGORIES. 
          SO BUS BOARDING ISLAND, WE'LL WALK THROUGH EACH OF THESE BUS BOARDING ISLANDS, SHARED BOARDING AREAS, AND THEN A CURBSIDE BUS STOP THAT IS AN EXTRA SLIDE. 
          BUS BOARDING ISLANDS. 
          UH, THERE'S GONNA BE KIND OF FOR YOUR HIGHER FREQUENCY, HIGHER RIDERSHIP ROUTE. 
          SO THE BUSES ARE GONNA STOP IN LANE, HAVE A WHOLE SEPARATE ISLAND KIND OF, UH, BETWEEN THE DRIVING LANE AND THE BIKE LANE 
          [00:45:01]
WHERE YOU CAN HAVE YOUR BUS SHELTERS, YOUR BENCHES, PEDESTRIANS ARE CROSSING, UH, YOU'RE GETTING INTO THAT AREA. 
          I THINK HORSE RIGHT OF WAY THOUGH. 
          UM, UH, BUT IT CREATES KIND OF A SINGLE POINT WHERE PEDESTRIANS ARE CROSSING, THEY GET TO WAIT AND THEY'RE NOT EVER KIND OF CROSSING BIKES AS THEY'RE LOADING AND UNLOADING ON THE, UM, BUSES. 
          THE SHARED BOARDING AREA, UH, IS, IT'S A LITTLE NARROWER AND SO YEAH, YOU HAVE UM, YOU'RE NOT ABLE TO WAIT KINDA YOUR SHELTER WOULD BE BACK IN THE SIDEWALK AREA. 
          SO WHEN THE BUS SHOWS UP, THAT'S WHEN ALL YOUR PASSENGERS ARE GONNA BE CROSSING ACROSS THE BIKE LANE. 
          IT'S GONNA BE KINDA ACTIVE. 
          UH, BUT OUTSIDE OF THAT TIME EVERYONE'S GONNA BE WAITING BEHIND IT. 
          UH, AND THIS CURBSIDE BUS STOP, THIS IS KIND OF WHAT A LITTLE BIT WHAT ALMA IS TODAY, UH, WHERE YOUR BUSES, YOU'RE REALLY JUST GONNA KIND OF MARKET TO SAY, HEY, HERE'S WHERE A BUS IS GONNA COME IN AND YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO SHARE THAT SPACE AS A BIKE WITH THAT BUS. 
          UM, UH, BUT IT LETS THE BUS PULL OVER INTO THE BIKE LANE, UH, AND MAINTAIN THEIR A DA ACCESS. 
          THERE'S REALLY PROS AND CONS UH, IN EACH, YOU KNOW, THERE'S GOOD THINGS, BAD THINGS, KINDA MODERATE THINGS THAT, YOU KNOW, YOUR SAFETY INTERACTION, WHETHER YOU'RE LOOKING AT BIKE VERSUS BUS, YOU KNOW, BIKE VERSUS PEDESTRIAN, UH, YOU LOOK AT KINDA YOUR BYSTANDING COMFORT, UH, HOW ARE YOU MAINTAINING YOUR BUS OPERATIONS, UM, AND THEN YOUR RIGHT OF WAY REQUIREMENT, YOU KNOW, THE BUS OPERATION, YOU KNOW, MODERATE ON THE CURBSIDE BECAUSE NOW THE BUS IS HAVING TO EXIT THEIR TRAVEL LANE AND THEN NOW THEY'RE HAVING TO GET, ENTER BACK INTO TRAFFIC. 
          UM, VERSUS BEING ABLE TO STOP IN LANE, UH, LETS THEM UH, REALLY MAINTAIN OPERATIONS, UH, RIGHT OF WAY REQUIREMENTS VARY AND THAT'S WHY IT'S NOT FEASIBLE AND EVERY, EVERY QUARTER IN INDIA. 
          UM, AND THEN SOME OF IT IS THAT EDUCATION, UH, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU START HAVING PEDESTRIANS CROSS ACROSS THE BIKE PATH. 
          NOW, YOU KNOW, HOW ARE YOU COMMUNICATING THAT TO SOMEONE WHO MAY HAVE VISUAL DISABILITY, UM, YOU MOBILITY, DISABILITY OF HOW ARE THEY KNOWING WHERE TO GO AND UH, BE ABLE TO COMMUNICATE THAT, UH, WHEN IT IS NOT A COMMON DESIGN, UM, KIND OF WITHIN OUR REGION RIGHT NOW. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND THEN ESPECIALLY ON THE INFRASTRUCTURE SIDE, BUILDING THOSE ISLANDS COULD BE COSTLY AND FOR DAR IT LOSE ITS FLEXIBILITY FOR THEM TO MOVE BUS STOPS. 
          'CAUSE NOW YOU JUST INVESTED KINDA TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON THIS ISLAND THAT, UH, YOU LIKE THE WAY THAT BUS STOP IS 'CAUSE THAT'S WHERE IT'S GONNA STAY FOR A WHILE. 
          UH, THIS KIND OF ONGOING CONVERSATION AS WE COORDINATE WITH. 
          UM, BUT REALLY AS WE WORK ON PROJECTS WANTING TO GET FEEDBACK WHEN THEY COULD MAYBE CALL IN, UH, YOU KNOW, CONCERNS, UM, YOU KNOW, WHAT DO YOU LIKE, WHAT DO YOU DISLIKE ABOUT THE DIFFERENT DESIGNS AND, UH, DESIGN YOU HAVE WITH, UH, KINDA GIVING YOUR FEEDBACK ON THAT AS WE START EVALUATING THOSE WITHIN OUR DESIGN PROJECTS? WELL, I WOULD QUESTION, I'VE BEEN, I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DOING THIS, BUT I'VE BEEN RIDING THE  BIKE LANES, SO, AND THEY'RE GOING TO BE REALLY NICE WHEN THEY'RE FINISHED. 
          UM, BUT UH, YEAH, AND THEY'RE REALLY NICE RIGHT NOW EXCEPT OCCASIONAL GREAT BIG HOLES. 
          SO , I, I CAN'T RECOMMEND ANYBODY LYING THEM, BUT IF YOU KEEP YOUR EYE OUT THEY'LL PRETTY NICE. 
          BUT ANYWAY, ALONG THE ROUTE THERE ARE SEVERAL WHAT LOOK LIKE BUS STOPS AND I DON'T KNOW IF THEY ARE OR NOT, BUT WHAT CAUGHT MY EYE IS THEY HAVE BIKE PARKING IN 'EM, THEY HAVE BIKE RACKS. 
          ARE THOSE BUS STOPS OR DO YOU EVEN KNOW THOSE ARE MORE LIKE PARKLETS OR OKAY. 
          REST AREA. 
          WE DON'T HAVE ANY TRANSIT UP AND DOWN GLENVILLE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO, ALRIGHT. 
          UM, I KNOW WE DON'T NOW, BUT I WAS, I WAS JUST, BUT THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THEY LOOK LIKE. 
          THEY LOOK LIKE LITTLE BIKE PARKING SPACES BUT THEY'RE, BUT THEY'RE OPEN TO THE ROAD ALSO. 
          I'D HAVE TO LOOK BECAUSE THEY, I THINK, I KNOW THERE'S SOME BENCHES I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT. 
          I DON'T THINK THE BENCHES ARE THERE YET. 
          THERE. 
          THERE'S, AND THAT'S WHY I WAS ASKING BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THEY PUT UH, A COUPLE OF BIKE RACKS IN AND THEN THERE'S SOME OPEN SPACE AND I WASN'T SURE WHETHER THEY WERE GONNA PUT A, PUT A BUS STOP THERE OR JUST A BENCH. 
          BUT YOU'RE BASICALLY TELLING ME THESE ARE LIKE LITTLE BICYCLE REST AREAS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, YOU KNOW? OKAY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          SO IT WAS, I I I THOUGHT THAT WAS REAL INTERESTING 'CAUSE THERE'S MAYBE A HALF DOZEN OF 'EM GOING EACH WAY. 
          IT LOOKS LIKE THIS, BUT, BUT YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S NOT GONNA BE AS LONG AS, AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S NO BUS LINE DOWN GO. 
          CORRECT. 
          OKAY. 
          I THINK WHAT ISN'T NECESSARILY CAPTURED WITH THE CURBSIDE IS IF THERE IS A BIKER COMING UP AND THERE'S A BUS ALREADY STOPPED, THEY'RE GOING TO VEER OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND TRY AND GO AROUND. 
          AND SO IT'S NOT JUST THE BIKE BUS INTERACTION BUT THE BIKE TRAFFIC INTERACTION AS WELL. 
          I THINK IT'D PROBABLY BE FINE FOR ANYWHERE THAT YOU HAVE JUST A SIGN OR MAYBE EVEN JUST THE CONCRETE BENCH. 
          BUT IF THERE'S A 
          [00:50:01]
STRUCTURE THERE, IT SEEMS IT'S ALREADY A MORE PERMANENT STOP. 
          AND ESPECIALLY ALONG SYNERGY YOU HAVE THE 8 83, THE 2 32, THE 2 44 I THINK ALL IN THAT CORRIDOR. 
          YEAH. 
          AND SO I THINK THE HIGHEST LEVEL MAKES SENSE THERE BECAUSE WE KNOW THE DEMAND WILL BE THERE FOR DECADES. 
          AND THAT IS, AND THAT'S A GOOD POINT OF UM, KIND OF THE TWO CORRIDORS WITH FUNDING RIGHT NOW. 
          YEAH. 
          SYNERGY. 
          IT IS LOOKING AT ONE OF THE HIGHER LEVEL DESIGNS, UH, JUST KNOWING THE RIDERSHIP AND THE FREQUENCY OF TRANSIT, UH, THAT BEING THE OTHER PIECE, UM, VERSUS SOMETHING LIKE COLLINS IS A LOWER RIDERSHIP ROUTE. 
          AND SO IT'S AGAIN WORKING WITH DART UH, LOOKING AT MORE OF THAT CURBSIDE LOOKING AT HOW DO WE MAYBE MARKET DIFFERENTLY WHEREAS SOMETHING LIKE ALMA RIGHT NOW, UNLESS YOU SEE THE SIGN AS A CYCLIST, THERE'S NO, YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE AN IDEA THAT A BUS MIGHT PULL INTO YOUR LANE. 
          UM, AND SO HOW DO WE LOOK AT KIND OF PAVEMENT MARKINGS A LITTLE DIFFERENTLY ON THOSE? YEAH. 
          OTHER THAN THE SYNERGY PERRY. 
          I GUESS ONE THING, IT'LL BE KIND OF NICE IF OUR BIKE LANE TRAFFIC AND BUS USE INCREASES TO THE, TO THE POINT WHERE WE ACTUALLY START HAVING A PROBLEM HERE. 
          THAT'S KIND OF A NICE PROBLEM TO HAVE. 
          THAT IS ONE OF LIKE COLLINS WITH THE OTHER, LIKE ON COLLINS THE BUS IS ONLY GONNA COME LIKE ONCE AN HOUR. 
          SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A HIGH FREQUENCY BUS. 
          UM, AND IT IS, IT'S A LOWER RIDERSHIP, WHICH MEANS THE BUS, THERE'S NOT SO OUTSTANDING THERE, THE BUS ISN'T EVEN GONNA PULL IN ANYWAY. 
          UM, SO YOU'RE PROBABLY TALKING LESS THAN ONCE AN HOUR. 
          THERE MAY BE A CONFLICT, UH, VERSUS YEAH, LIKE THE SYNERGY. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          WE KNOW IT'S HIGH RIDERSHIP. 
          WE KNOW THAT BUS IS COMING PRETTY FREQUENTLY, UM, THAT IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO MANAGE THAT BIKE BUS CONFLICT MORE SO HAVE ANY RISD BUSES STOPPING WHERE THERE ARE BIKE LINES. 
          THAT WAS GOOD QUESTION. 
          AND UTD HAS THEIR OWN BUS LINE TOO. 
          I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR OFF CAMPUS THEY GO, IF ANY. 
          THE THE COMIC CRUISER ONE. 
          YEAH, YEAH, YEAH. 
          SO THAT'S THE 8 83 AND SO YEAH, WE'RE, THAT'S THE ONE THAT YEAH, ON SYNERGY IS, HAS THE MOST IMPACT. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, WE'D HAVE TO, YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD POINT ON KIND OF RICH AND ISD AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING. 
          YEAH. 
          I WOULD IMAGINE THE RESIDENTIAL BIKE LANES LIKE YALE AND APOLLO AND THOSE, AND OF COURSE WE'VE ALL KNOWN THE, THE DIFFICULTY OF THE BIKE LANES IN FRONT OF THE HIGH, LIKE IN FRONT OF NER AND STUFF. 
          THAT'S, THAT'S KIND OF BEEN A WELL KNOWN, YOU KNOW, PROBLEM FOR EVER SINCE THEY WERE PUT IN. 
          I THINK THE OTHER CONCERN WITH SCHOOL BUSES IS BIKES WOULD HAVE TO STOP AS WELL. 
          ALRIGHT, THAT'S TRUE. 
          AND SO IT'S DIFFERENT FROM PUBLIC TRANSIT. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND I KNOW THERE ARE STANDARDS FOR ALL THE HIGHWAY STUFF. 
          GREEN IS MOSTLY BICYCLES AND YOU HAVE THAT SORT OF RED, ALMOST A LITTLE BIT PURPLE IN THERE FOR BUSES. 
          IS IT POSSIBLE TO HAVE ALTERNATING GREEN IN THAT RED COLOR FOR WHERE THE BUS STOP WOULD BE? I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'RE THE STANDARD THAT COVERS. 
          SEE, INSTEAD OF HAVING THOSE BEAR PATCHES HAVE THE BUS COLOR IN THERE, I'LL LOOK AT THE STANDARDS BECAUSE THE, UH, SOME OF THE MANUALS THEY DID START CREATING A LITTLE BIT OF STANDARDIZATION TO IT. 
          UM, I THINK THE RED WAS USUALLY IN, IN A FULLY DEDICATED REQUEST SPACE, SO THEY'LL USE THE RED. 
          UM, VERSUS GREEN IS EITHER LIKE A DEDICATED BY SPACE, SOMETIMES LIKE KNOW , WE HAVE IT IN SOME PLACES WHERE THE GREEN BLOCKS KIND OF DESIGNATE THAT CONFLICT AREA WHERE IT'S LIKE, ALL RIGHT, THIS IS BIKE SPACE, BUT IT IS TRYING TO NOTATE THE TWO CYCLISTS ALSO THAT HEY, THERE MIGHT BE A CONFLICT IN HERE SOMEWHERE. 
          SO FOR CYCLISTS TO ALSO BE WATCHING. 
          UM, SO I THINK THAT GETS COMMUNICATED ON THE BOTTOM ONE A LITTLE BIT WHERE IT'S LIKE, ALL RIGHT, THE BLOCKS MEAN YOU MAY BE SHARING THE SPACE SOMEHOW. 
          UM, UH, BUT YEAH, I'LL, I'LL LOOK AT THE MANUALS AGAIN ON HOW WE DO THAT. 
          ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THE BUS STOP DESIGN? OKAY, SO NEXT WE'LL MOVE INTO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS JUST, UH, THERE'S A NUMBER OF ITEMS ON THE STATUS OF OUR ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES. 
          YES. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          YOU'LL BE DOING THAT TOO, SO. 
          OH YEAH. 
          ALRIGHT, THESE ARE GONNA KINDA QUICK ONES. 
          UH, GENERALLY KIND ONE SLIDE OR ITEM HERE, UH, BIKE MONTH. 
          WE WANNA COVER THIS, ESPECIALLY, YOU KNOW, BY THE TIME WE MEET NEXT TIME. 
          IF YOU WANNA BE BIKE MONTH ALREADY. 
          UM, MAY 3RD IS NATIONAL RIDE A BIKE DAY, MAY 6TH IS BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY. 
          UM, WHICH BIKE TO 
          [00:55:01]
SCHOOL DAY. 
          THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS, UH, THEY'RE STARTING PROMOTE SOME OF THEIR, UH, BIKE TO SCHOOL DAY WHERE THEY R ALONG BIKE AND UM, THEY TRY TO PROMOTE, PROVIDE RESOURCES TO SCHOOLS THAT SIGN UP THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS. 
          UM, SO IF YOU HAVE ANY CONNECTIONS TO ANY SCHOOLS, WE DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THEM SIGNING UP FOR THAT. 
          REGISTERING MAY 9TH, WE'LL BE HAVING OUR CITYWIDE BIKE RODEO, SIMILAR TO LAST YEAR. 
          THIS WILL BE AT HIGH PARK, UM, IN THE MORNING. 
          WE'LL BE SEEING ADVERTISING OUT HERE PRETTY SOON. 
          I KNOW WE'RE PARKING WITH IDFW AGAIN ON THAT. 
          UH, MAY 11TH. 
          THE 17TH, THE FLIGHT TO WORK WEEK. 
          UM, AND THEN REALLY SPECIFICALLY, WE'RE PARKING WITH DARK AGAIN ON MAY 15TH FOR BIKE TO WORK DAY. 
          UH, WHERE THAT WILL BE AT THE CITY LINE, FIELD STATION FROM FOUR TO 6:00 PM UM, AND THEN GO RIDE YOUR BIKE DOWN TO, UH, WILDFLOWER. 
          ALRIGHT, THAT IT STARTS DAY OF WILDFLOWER OFF MR. CHAIR. 
          YES. 
          SO MAY UM, THERE'S ALSO ON THE 27TH OF APRIL, THERE'S THE BIKE MONTH PROCLAMATION. 
          MM-HMM . 
          THAT THE MAYOR WILL BE PRESENTING TO MR. PEYTON AND I'M ASSUMING MEMBERS OF THE THE RBC BOARD AS WELL. 
          SO THAT MAY BE A OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU TO SUPPORT IF YOU'VE GOT THE EVENING OPENING FOR THAT. 
          MARK. 
          DID WE HAVE A TIME OF, ARE THEY DOING THAT BEFORE COUNCIL OR ? UM, I DON'T KNOW. 
          UM, I, I WAS ASSUMING THAT THAT WOULD BE AT THE FRONT END OF THE COUNCIL MEETING, BUT WE CAN GET SOME CLARIFICATION ON THAT. 
          WE'LL GET SOME MORE INFORMATION AND FOLLOW UP WITH EVERYONE ON APRIL 2ND. 
          COUNTING PEOPLE PLANNING PROGRESS. 
          THIS IS THE SECOND ANNUAL MOVING INTO NEXT YEAR, TAKING SOME OF THOSE LESSONS LEARNED FROM LAST YEAR AND THE, UH, THE GOOD THINGS AND THE BAD THINGS. 
          UH, SO THAT'LL START MAY 1ST. 
          UM, I WISH MICHAEL'S HERE TO TALK ABOUT IT MORE. 
          HE'S GETTING IT ALL SET UP RIGHT NOW, BUT HE DID GET THE SIGNUP LINK IS AVAILABLE NOW. 
          WE'RE DOING THAT A LITTLE DIFFERENT. 
          GET AN EXCEL SHEET SO YOU JUST GET TO PUT YOUR NAME IN AND UH, BE NICE AND NOT DELETE SOMEONE ELSE'S NAME. 
          UH UH BUT THAT WAY PEOPLE CAN KIND OF CHOOSE WHICH LOCATION WHILE IT'S SEPARATED. 
          'CAUSE SOME PEOPLE WANTED TO DO, LIKE, I COULD DO A WEEKDAY, BUT I CAN'T DO A WEEKEND OR I CAN ONLY DO WEEKENDS. 
          AND SO YOU CAN SIGN UP FOR, HEY, I WANT THE WEEKEND AT FIVE LOCATION, BUT I'M NEVER TAKING A WEEKDAY. 
          UM, UH, GIVING THAT FLEXIBILITY TO PEOPLE, UH, AND JUST TO BE ABLE TO GET IN THERE AND SELF. 
          THAT'S WHERE YOU WANNA, YEAH, I, OH, IT WAS SO MUCH HOT, HUH? IT LIKE, VERY GOOD . 
          SO YEAH, SO MICHAELS WE'RE UPDATING A FEW THINGS, UM, SIMPLIFYING, YOU KNOW, SOME, SOME OF THOSE LESSONS, YOU KNOW, AT AN INTERSECTION WE'RE TAKING AWAY TURNING MOVEMENTS, UHHUH, IT'S MORE JUST, UH, COUNT THE APPROACH ON EACH SIDE. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, ONE THING, WE'LL, WE'LL LOOK AT IT KIND OF UPDATING IS LOOKING AT KIND OF PERCEIVED GENDER HELMET USE. 
          UH, AND THEN LOOKING AT THE KIND OF ALTERNATE MODES, YOU KNOW, WITH THE SKATEBOARDS OR SCOOTERS OR, OR OTHER THINGS JUST TO, UH, TRY TO GET A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION. 
          I WANT, COULD, SHOULD WE ADD DOG WALKER AS A, AS A I'M SURE WE CAN. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          I, I'M JUST WONDERING IF THAT, WOULD THAT BE USEFUL? OR, YOU KNOW, OR WOULD, DOES ANYBODY CARE? THERE'S STILL PEDESTRIAN. 
          YEAH, THEY'RE PEDESTRIAN, BUT THEY'RE, I I, THERE'S A, THERE'S AN ADDED, UM, DANGER TO IT WITH A LEASH IN TERMS OF OTHER WID OR RUNNERS OR WHATEVER YOU'VE GOT, OR, OR, I'M THINKING OF TRYING TO DETERMINE A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PEOPLE THAT ARE, THAT ARE WALKING FOR EXERCISE. 
          EXERCISE AND OUR, AND THEN OUR WALKING FOR ROUTINE. 
          I, AND I, I JUST, WHERE I WAS WAS ABOUT HALF THE PEOPLE WERE WALKING DOGS. 
          THAT THAT WAS A VERY COMMON, UH, A COMMON THING. 
          AND I THINK IF IT WOULD'VE BEEN AN HOUR EARLIER, IT WOULD'VE BEEN EVEN MORE. 
          NO. 
          WALKING DOG. 
          I'M, I, I'M JUST THROWING THAT OUT THERE. 
          I COULD TALK IT TO MICHAEL AND SEE HOW WE COULD, WHETHER WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE USEFUL. 
          BECAUSE I'M THINKING YOUR WHOLE DESIGN FOR DOG WALKERS IS GONNA BE DIFFERENT THAN FOR JOGGERS OR, OR, UH, I GUESS NOT SO MUCH FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST OUT FOR A WALK, BUT, UH, WELL, BECAUSE IT IS DOG WALKERS. 
          THE OTHER YOU GET IT, LIKE, UH, STROLLERS OR SHOULD WE TALK, SHOULD WE TALK, SHOULD WE COUNT THE DOGS? IS THAT ? I HOPE FOR, FOR GINGER WE HAVE A CATEGORY OF, I DON'T KNOW. 
          OH. 
          BECAUSE I REALLY THINK IT'S GONNA BE AN AWFUL LOT OF, ESPECIALLY WITH A HELMET, I DON'T REALLY KNOW. 
          YEAH. 
          AND YOU KNOW, I DON'T WANT IT TO END UP WITH, YOU KNOW, IT'S 90% MALE BECAUSE PEOPLE COULDN'T FIGURE OUT I AM A GIRL, BUT SHORT HAIR. 
          YEAH. 
          [01:00:01]
YEAH. 
          WE CAN, WE CAN GET THAT. 
          UH, YOU'LL JUST STOP  JUST THAT WAY THAT YEAH. 
          SOMEONE WHO'S GUESSING DOESN'T JUST PUT EVERYONE UNDER ONE . 
          UM, BUT YEAH. 
          SO THAT'LL GET STARTED. 
          UM, AND YEAH, WE'LL START, WE'LL GET THAT EMAIL LINK OUT TO EVERYONE AS WELL. 
          UM, BUT YEAH, THESE, ALL THESE SLIDES WE GOT POSTED ONLINE, SO IT'LL BE AVAILABLE ONLINE AS WELL. 
          UM, BIKE FRIENDLY BUSINESS YOU MAY HAVE SEEN IN KIND OF, WE CAN REVIEW AND SOME OF THOSE. 
          UM, YOU KNOW, WE HAD TALKED PRIOR, KINDA LAST FALL, EARLIER THIS YEAR, THE CITY APPLIED IN OCTOBER LAST YEAR FOR THE BIKE FRIENDLY BUSINESS. 
          SO THIS DIFFERENT THAN BIKE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY. 
          UM, SO THIS IS THE CITY AS AN ORGANIZATION, UH, BEING, UH, AND WE, IN FEBRUARY THEY GOT ANNOUNCED THAT RICHARDSON WAS DESIGNATED WITH A SILVER AWARD SKIPPED OVER THE BRONZE THIS TIME. 
          SO, UH, SO GOOD NEWS IN THAT, UH, IT IS THE HIGHEST DESIGNATION AS A GOVERNMENT AGENCY IN NORTH TEXAS. 
          UM, AND I WANTED TO SAY WE'RE THE, THE ONLY, OR THE FIRST, BUT IT'S LIKE AN ASTERISK. 
          'CAUSE FORT WORTH WAS, BUT THERE'S WAS IN 2017, THEY NEVER RENEWED AND THEY GOT KIND OF ROLLED OFF THIS YEAR, UH, FOR NOT RENEWING. 
          DID AUSTIN NEVER, UH, AUSTIN. 
          YEAH. 
          WELL THAT WAS THE, THAT WAS NOT THE GOVERNMENT ITSELF. 
          YEAH. 
          WICHITA FALLS IS, AND SOME OF THE, THERE'S SOME IN KIND OF CENTRAL AND KIND OF HOUSTON AREA THAT, THAT HAVE BUSINESS NATIONS AS WELL. 
          UM, THERE'S SOME THAT ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER. 
          DOES THAT HELP WITH OUR FRAUD STATUS COMMITTEE? ? SO, YEAH. 
          SO THAT IS ANOTHER, THIS WAS A, UH, A RECOMMENDATION OUT OF OUR BIKE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY REPORT CARD WAS LOOKING AT BIKE FRIENDLY BUSINESS. 
          UM, AND IT WAS ONE OF THOSE KIND OF, THIS WAS A PLACE WE WANTED TO START. 
          UH, WHERE NOW IT'S AGAIN, KINDA THAT LEADING BY EXAMPLE OF LIKE, ALL RIGHT, THE CITY AS AN ORGANIZATION HAS, UM, AND SHOWING KIND OF THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TOWARDS IT. 
          UM, UH, THE DIFFERENT RESOURCES IT PROVIDES EMPLOYEES AS WELL AS BEING ABLE TO BE A DESTINATION FOR ALL THE VISITORS WHO COME TO, UM, THE LIBRARY, CITY HALL, UH, HAVING BIKE PARKING AND OTHER AMENITIES, UM, TO, TO ACCESS IT BY, BY BIKE. 
          AND THEN REALLY WHEN WE MOVE INTO THE NEW CITY HALL LIBRARY, IT'LL BE PROBABLY EVEN MORE ACCESSIBLE. 
          I WAS GONNA ASK IF IT WERE BASED ON FAKE, IT IS BASED ON ATION. 
          UM, UH, IS ONE YOU HAVE TO RENEW EVERY FOUR YEARS, SIMILAR TO THE COMMUNITY. 
          ONE WAS, WAS THERE STILL A REQUIREMENT TO PROVIDE FACILITIES FOR SHOWER? AND THEY ASK ABOUT IT, BUT IT'S NOT, IT'S NOT LIKE A HARD REQUIREMENT. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND YEAH, THERE'S ONE FOR, FOR LIKE THE CITY, UM, THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER. 
          IT'S KIND OF DOWN LOOKOUT JUST HERE AT PLANO THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY TOWERS THAT ARE AVAILABLE, UM, AS WELL AS THE CITY OFFERS FREE RECREATION CENTER MEMBERSHIPS TO EMPLOYEES. 
          SO THERE ARE ELEMENTS THE CITY DOES PROVIDE. 
          SO, UH, WITHIN THAT, BUT, UH, THE OTHER ELEMENT OF IT, YOU KNOW, ALRIGHT, BEING DESIGNATED NOW FOR THE CITY, UH, WE'RE HOPING TO BE ABLE TO KIND OF WORK WITH OTHER BUSINESSES, UH, WITHIN THE COMMUNITY TO ALSO KIND OF ENCOURAGE THEM TOWARDS BIKE BUSINESS, UH, COMMUNITY STATUS, WHICH, UM, KIND OF TIES IN WHERE YOU HAVE THE BIKE LEAGUE FROM OUR BIKE FRIENDLY COMMUNITY ONCE. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          THEY, THEY CURRENT RECOMMENDED US AS AN ORGANIZATION TO APPLY, BUT ALSO HOW DO YOU ENCOURAGE MORE BUSINESSES THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY? UM, BECAUSE I KNOW BIKE MART HAS HAD BEEN, AND I THINK THEY WERE ANOTHER, THEY DIDN'T RENEW AND KIND OF ROLLED OFF THAT SYSTEM. 
          PRETTY SURE THAT DEFINITION. 
          THEY BIKE FRIENDLY BUSINESS. 
          YEAH. 
          MM-HMM . 
          WELL WAS IT UTDA BIKE FRIENDLY UNIVERSITY OR SOMETHING? YES. 
          OR YEAH, UT D HAS A BIKE FROM THE UNIVERSITY. 
          DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT LEVEL THEY ARE FROM? SO WHY WOULD A BUSINESS NOT RENEW? IS, IS THERE A LARGE APPLICATION FEE? IT'S PRETTY NOMINAL FEE. 
          YEAH. 
          FILLING OUT. 
          YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          THERE'S, IT'S A FORM. 
          IT'S FEW PAGES, BUT IT'S EASIER THAN THE COMMUNITY, THE BIKE FROM THE COMMUNITY ONE. 
          BUT, UM, AND I THINK SOME PEOPLE, PEOPLE JUST FORGET, SO, AND FOR A BUSINESS IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A PRETTY GOOD SIZED BUSINESS, WOULDN'T IT? OR WOULD IT? THEY'LL DO IT FOR ANY BUSINESS SIZE REALLY. 
          MM-HMM. 
          SO, YEAH. 
          AND I THINK THEY KINDA SCALE THEIR SCORING, YOU KNOW? YEAH. 
          SMALLER BUSINESS. 
          IT'S GONNA BE A LOT DIFFERENT THAN LIKE THOUSANDS. 
          SO. 
          SO WAS THAT YOU AND MICHAEL IN THE PICTURE THEY POSTED OH YEAH. 
          . 
          SO I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE A COMMENT ABOUT, I DON'T KNOW IF THEY SEE A TYPICAL RICHARDSON CYCLIST. 
          THEY KNOCK US DOWN TO ROCK. 
          NO. 
          ALRIGHT, COUPLE MORE ITEMS. UH, TDOT'S DOING THEIR DALLAS DISTRICT BIKE PLAN. 
          DALLAS DISTRICT IS A, UH, FLYER AREA THAN JUST DALLAS COUNTY. 
          UM, SO I JUST WANTED TO BE AWARE OF THAT. 
          UM, WE DID DALLAS COUNTY, COLLIN COUNTY,  COUNTY ROCK BALL COUNTY. 
          SO THE SOUTHERN COUNTY'S THERE. 
          UM, THEY'VE GOT A SURVEY INPUT, UH, INPUT SURVEY OPEN, UM, LOOKING FOR IDEAS YOU CAN MARK ON THE MAP, ALL THOSE KIND OF THINGS. 
          UM, BUT THEY'RE STARTING THAT. 
          [01:05:01]
THEY HAVE A VIRTUAL PUBLIC HEARING OR PUBLIC MEETING OPEN. 
          SO I THINK THEY HAVE LIKE A RECORDED VIDEO AND SLIDES YOU CAN FLIP THROUGH ONLINE. 
          UM, THAT'S AVAILABLE NOW. 
          SO FEBRUARY 24TH THROUGH MARCH 24TH, UH, IS OPEN. 
          SO KIND OF LATER THIS MONTH THAT'LL CLOSE. 
          UH, DE LINK IS THERE AS WELL AS I THINK YOU ALL GOT A FLYER AND THERE'S NO FLYERS IN THE BACK FOR ANYONE WHATSOEVER. 
          NOTE ON THAT ONE. 
          YEAH, I WAS LOOKING THROUGH THAT THERE. 
          THE COMMENT THAT'S NOT ON SYSTEM BUT IS IN RICHARDSON, SO IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO GO LOOK THROUGH THE RICHARDSON THINGS FOR THINGS THAT TEXT DOT CAN'T ACTUALLY ADDRESS. 
          OKAY. 
          YEAH. 
          ONE OTHER INTERESTING THING ABOUT TXDOT, I WAS BEEN KEEPING AN EYE AS NOW THAT IT LOOKS LIKE I MIGHT ACTUALLY LIVE LONG ENOUGH TO SEE IT. 
          THE, UH, THE, THE LBJ, YOU KNOW, UH, UPGRADING FROM, YOU KNOW, 75 , THE CROSSINGS AT GREENVILLE, ABRAMS AND OR GREENVILLE AND ABRAMS. LET'S JUST STICK THOSE TWO, UH, LOOK LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE PRETTY EXTENSIVE BIKES, BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN LANES ON THE ACTUAL CROSSINGS. 
          AND I KNOW THESE DON'T ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE WITH RICHARDSON DIRECTLY, BUT ESPECIALLY GREENVILLE AND ABRAMS PRETTY CLOSE TO RICHARDSON. 
          MM-HMM . 
          AND AS WE LOOK AT, ONE OF THE THINGS I KNOW THAT AS A BPAC WE'VE ALWAYS TALKED ABOUT IS ONE THING WE ALWAYS HAVE TO DO IS, IS WORK ON COORDINATIONS WITH OUR NEXT, WITH OUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBORS. 
          AND IT WOULD SURE BE NICE AS THOSE PROJECTS ARE FINISHING, IF WE CAN SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP INCREASE THE ABILITY TO GET TO RICHARDSON, TO GET TO LBJ AND ACROSS THOSE THINGS. 
          DOES THAT, DOES THAT MAKE ANY SENSE? 'CAUSE I KNOW THAT'S ONE DIRECTION WHERE IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO GO ON A BICYCLE OR, OR, OR PEDESTRIAN OR ANYTHING IS SOUTH ACROSS LBJ INTO, INTO, UH, LAKE HIGHLANDS OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER THAT NEIGHBORHOOD IS. 
          SO I'VE BEEN IMPRESSED BY WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE THE BRIDGES ARE ACTUALLY GONNA HAVE. 
          HOWEVER, JUST THE WAY THESE THINGS OFTEN GO, I CAN SEE REALLY NICE, YOU KNOW, CROSSINGS THAT JUST DEAD END IN A, IN A, IN A, IN A TRASH STRING FIELD ON EITHER SIDE OR SOMETHING. 
          SO, SO I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALL SHOULD KIND OF KEEP OUR EYES OUT IN OUR OWN, UH, SPHERES OF INFLUENCE TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO HELP, HELP GET TO THE SOUTH, I GUESS IS WHAT I'M SAYING. 
          AND I DON'T KNOW. 
          OKAY. 
          THAT'S IT. 
          GOOD. 
          ALL RIGHT. 
          GO AHEAD. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          UH, . 
          . 
          SO THIS KIND OF TIES TO, UM, SOME ORDERS BY AL COALITION. 
          UH, THIS IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S THE CITY SAFETY ACTION PLAN, WHICH ANOTHER NAMED IS THE BID ZERO PLAN. 
          UM, SO ON FEBRUARY 16TH, WE PRESENTED TO COUNCIL, UM, THE PROJECT OVERVIEW, SOME PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT COLLABORATION THAT, UH, FROM THE SUMMARY UP TO THIS POINT THAT'S HAPPENED, UH, THE VISION STATEMENT AS WELL AS THE SUPPORTIVE GUIDING PRINCIPLES FOR THAT, THE SAFETY ANALYSIS AND THEN THE SUBSEQUENT HIGH NETWORK THAT GOT DEVELOPED OUTTA THAT SAFETY ANALYSIS. 
          UH, AND THEN THAT PRIORITIZATION OF THE HIGH NETWORK TO CREATE KIND OF TOP 10 CORRIDORS AND TOP 10 INTERSECTIONS OUT OF THAT PANTRY NETWORK. 
          UM, UH, FROM THAT CONVERSATION THERE WAS, UH, YOU KNOW, WE WERE LOOKING FOR KINDA GENERAL CONSENSUS THAT WE CAN KINDA KEEP MOVING THIS PLAN FORWARD. 
          UH, WHICH THEY HAD A FEW, UH, YOU KNOW, GOOD QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS, UM, THAT WERE TAKING THOSE TO, TO, YEAH, KEEP ADVANCING THE PLAN, BUT NOTHING MAJOR THAT KINDA, UH, MAKES US MOVE BACKWARD IN THE PLAN. 
          SO, UH, MOVING ALL THOSE, UH, ELEMENTS FORWARD, UH, NEXT STEPS IS LOOKING AT THAT KIND OF PRIORITY HIGH NETWORK, SELECTING SOME OF THE, SOME OF THOSE WERE A, UH, CONCEPT PLANS WHERE IT'S DEVELOPING KIND OF, ALRIGHT, HERE'S THIS HIGH CORRIDOR, WHAT ARE SOME KIND OF COUNTERMEASURES, UH, THAT MAY BE POSSIBLE, UM, AND SHOULD BE CONSIDERED ON, ON SOME OF THESE CORRIDORS. 
          UM, LOOKING AT THE STRATEGIES, WHICH THOSE MAY BE MORE LIKE POLICIES, PLANS, OTHER KIND OF PROCEDURES, UM, UH, DIFFERENT CHANGES, UH, FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PLAN. 
          UH, WE'LL HAVE A FINAL ROUND OF PUBLIC, UH, PUBLIC INPUT AND STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT, UH, WITHIN THIS PLAN. 
          YOU KNOW, WE PRESENTED THE LAST FEEDBACK MEETING ON THIS, BUT YEAH, WE HAVE AN INTERNAL STAKEHOLDER GROUP, UH, WHICH IS MADE UP OF, UH, DIFFERENT DEPARTMENTS WITHIN THE CITY. 
          AND THEN AN EXTERNAL GROUP, WHICH IS A LOT OF THE AGENCIES WE WORK WITH, LIKE, UH, DART, UH, THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS. 
          WE'VE GOT THE HOSPITALS ON THERE, UM, DIFFERENT COUNTIES, THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS. 
          UH, SO THOSE DIFFERENT AGENCIES WE WORK AT WOULD GET INVOLVED, UH, DIFFERENT TRANSPORTATION SAFETY ELEMENTS, UH, LOOKING LATER THIS SPRING, SUMMERTIME, UH, TO HAVE A DRAFT PLAN THAT WE WILL, UH, BE GETTING IN FRONT OF COUNCIL FOR THEIR REVIEW AND CONSIDERATION. 
          UM, AND THEN THE OTHER ELEMENT OF THIS KIND OF LARGER PROJECT, IT'S A DEMONSTRATION PROJECT, UH, WHICH WILL START LATER THIS SUMMER, UM, WHERE WE'RE REALLY PILOTING A, UH, GPS BASED, UH, EMERGENCY VEHICLE PREEMPTION. 
          UH, AND THAT ALL GETS VERY TECHNICAL, BUT IT'S KIND 
          [01:10:01]
OF EMERGENCY VEHICLES THAT THEY SHOW UP TO A TRAFFIC SIGNAL RIGHT NOW IS A KIND OF A LIDAR BASE. 
          IT'S HOW THEY COMMUNICATE TO GET A GREEN TO GO THROUGH. 
          UM, BUT THAT'S ALL LINE OF SIGHT. 
          SO IF THERE'S SOMETHING BLOCKING THAT LINE OF SIGHT, THEY DON'T GET THAT PREEMPTION VERSUS A GPS BASED SYSTEM. 
          IT KIND OF MAPS THE ROUTE AND, UH, GETS IN THE GREEN LIGHTS TO GET, UH, TO THOSE DESTINATIONS FASTER WHEN THEY'RE RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY. 
          UM, TESTING THAT, UM, TO KIND OF PILOT THAT AND LOOK AT THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A SYSTEM LIKE THAT. 
          DANIEL, IS THAT LICENSED BY VEHICLE? UH, SO YEAH, SO WE WOULD END UP HAVING KIND OF A DEVICE IN OUR SIGNAL AND THEN YEAH, IT WOULD, WE WOULD, UH, INSTALL A DEVICE PER WHATEVER VEHICLE. 
          SO WE'RE LOOKING AT FIRE STATION ONE. 
          WHERE IS THAT? UH, IT'S THE ONE AT GREENVILLE ON MAIN STREET, UH, EIGHT DAY TRANSITION PLAN. 
          THIS ONE'S REALLY ALIGNED WITH KIND OF THE SAFER STREET, UH, RICHARDSON PLANNING. 
          SO A LOT OF THAT PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT REALLY OVERLAPPED. 
          THE ONLINE SURVEY WENT THAT SAME TIME, KINDA AUGUST THROUGH OCTOBER OF LAST YEAR. 
          WE HAD THAT COMMUNITY MEETING, THE OVERLAP BETWEEN THE TWO PLANS ON OCTOBER OR AUGUST 26TH. 
          UM, AND THEN FROM ALL THAT PUBLIC FEEDBACK IS WHAT, HOW WE'VE BEEN DEVELOPING THE IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE. 
          UM, AND NOW WE'RE DEVELOPING DRAFT FOR THAT WHERE, UH, LATER THIS SPRING WE'LL BE, UM, GETTING THAT PLAN FINALIZED. 
          AND THEN, YEAH, HIGH LEVEL ON SOME OF THESE ACTIVE ATION PROJECTS. 
          UM, KAY JOHNSON, THAT'S THE ONE HERE. 
          UTD, KIND OF THE WEST SIDE, UTD, UM, THAT ONE, THEY'RE PLANNING TO WRAP UP KINDA APRIL TIMEFRAME OF THIS YEAR. 
          UM, THAT'LL ADD SOME BIKE LANE ALSO FILLING IN SIDEWALK GAPS IN THAT AREA, BUT ALSO ADDING BIKE LANES FROM NOW WATER VIEW. 
          UH, IT'LL GO ALL THE WAY OVER TO MIMOSA, UH, SO THAT IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE TRAIL LONG CAMPBELL, UH, BECAUSE I KNOW SOME OF THE TERM MOVEMENTS ACROSS THE TRAIL CAN BE SCARY. 
          UM, THIS GIVES YOU KIND OF A BACK ROUTE, UM, FOR, UH, CYCLISTS TO ACCESS THE COMMERCIAL AND, UH, RETAIL DEVELOPMENT THERE AT COY AND CAMPBELL, UH, COTTON BELT TRAILS UNDER CONSTRUCTION, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT HERE IN A MINUTE. 
          UM, BRECKENRIDGE TRAIL EXTENSION, THAT'S THE ONE UP IN KIND OF BRECKENRIDGE AREA. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY A PLANO PROJECT, BUT WE'D WANNA MENTION IT 'CAUSE IT IS KIND OF EXTENSION OF  TRAIL DOWN INTO THE BRECKENRIDGE PARK, UH, TO REALLY CON CONTINUE THAT ACCESS THROUGHOUT RICHARDSON, UH, FOR THAT TRAIL SYSTEM. 
          UH, GLENVILLE ROAD IS NEARING COMPLETION NOW, YOU KNOW, BILL, THOSE GUYS ON THE GROUND ON THAT ONE . 
          UM, BUT YEAH, THEY'RE, THEY'RE GETTING CLOSE. 
          UH, YOU'LL SEE SOME MARKINGS GOING OUT THERE, UH, PROBABLY IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO. 
          UM, NORTH COLLINS, THAT'S THE ONE I MENTIONED. 
          SO THAT'S THE ONE FROM ALMA, UH, ACROSS 75 UP TO CAMPBELL. 
          THAT ONE'S UNDER DESIGN. 
          UH, WE'RE WORKING WITH TEXT OUT ON THAT. 
          SO SOME OF THE SCHEDULES DEPENDENT ON, ON TDOT, BUT IT'S SUPPOSED TO BE BIDDING THIS SUMMER. 
          UM, BUT IT'S LIKELY THE END OF THE YEAR, EARLY NEXT YEAR BEFORE CONSTRUCTION ACTUALLY BEGINS. 
          ARAPAHOE TRAIL IS FROM, YOU KNOW, WE DID THAT ARAPAHOE PROJECT. 
          THERE'S A TRAIL UP TO 75 GOING WEST. 
          UM, THIS WILL TAKE THAT PROJECT UNDER 75 AND OVER TO CUSTER. 
          THAT'S UNDER DESIGN AS WELL. 
          UM, AND UH, SHOULD BE GOING UNDER CONSTRUCTION LATER THIS YEAR. 
          UM, WAS REALLY A LOT OF THE GOAL WITH THAT IS TRYING TO REOPEN IT, UH, GET THAT TRAIL OPEN, UM, ALONGSIDE THE, UM, CITY HALL OPENING. 
          UH, THERE'LL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE INFORMATION ON THAT AT, UH, SOME OF THE BOND, UM, MEETINGS UPCOMING HERE AS WELL. 
          UH, CENTRAL TRAIL ON THE SOUTH SIDE, THE CENTRAL TRAIL EX EXTENSION PROJECT, UM, THAT ONE WE ARE STILL SOMETIME THIS SPRING OR SUMMER, UH, IT'S LOOKING RIGHT NOW PROBABLY SUMMER BEFORE THEY'RE STARTING CONSTRUCTION. 
          UH, THAT WAS LED BY DALLAS COUNTY, UH, IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY DALLAS COUNTY'S, UH, WAITING FOR A FEW THINGS TO GET FINALIZED, UH, BEFORE THEY START THE BIDDING PROCESS. 
          AND THEN, YOU KNOW, THOSE JUST TAKE A LITTLE BIT OF TIME, UH, BEFORE YOU KNOW, THE DIRT REALLY STARTS TURNING, TURNING ON THOSE. 
          AND THAT ONE'S GOING TO HAVE A BIKE LANE ON GREENVILLE, RIGHT? IS THAT, SO THAT WILL BE A TRAIL ON GREENVILLE. 
          OH, A TRAIL WILL LOCK STREET TRAIL. 
          OKAY. 
          UM, AND SO THE, ONE OF THE SOUTHBOUND LANES OF GREENVILLE, UM, IS GONNA GET REMOVED AND IT'LL CREATE SPACE FOR AN TRUCTURE. 
          OKAY. 
          SO IT'LL BE A TRAIL BUT IN THE SPACE OF, OF OF WHERE ONE OF THE LANES GOT. 
          YEAH, AND IT'S Q YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          UM, AND THEN YEAH, IT'LL, IT KINDA CONNECTS ON BOTH ENDS ON BUCKINGHAM TO GET OVER TO THE EXISTING KIND OF END POINT OF THAT TRAIL. 
          UM, AND THEN ON THE SOUTH SIDE IT GOES DOWN WALNUT STREET FOR EAST OVER TO ABRAMS. UH, SO YOU CAN, YEAH. 
          AND THEN, AND THEN SEE IT WOULD BE REAL INTERESTING TO SEE IF DALLAS HAS A WAY TO GET SOUTH FROM THERE ACROSS, ACROSS 6 35. 
          YES. 
          I'D HAVE TO LOOK AT THEIR PLANS OF WHERE THEY HAVE CONNECTION POINTS FURTHER SOUTH. 
          UH, I KNOW WORKING WITH DALLAS COUNTY ON THE PLANNING STUDY THAT LED TO THIS PROJECT, UH, WAS ULTIMATELY, UH, A DALLAS PROJECT GOING WEST ON YES. 
          WESTLAND OVER TO TI BOULEVARD, UHHUH, AND THEN BEING ABLE TO TAKE TI BOULEVARD AND THEY WOULD ACTUALLY EXTEND IT ALL 
          [01:15:01]
THE WAY DOWN, UH, DOWN TO DOWN TO THE, UH, THE BUDDHIST TEMPLE. 
          SO YOU COULD GO DOWN AND GET TFU. 
          SO , THERE YOU GO. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          GOING INTO SOME OF THE PROJECTS OF COTTON BELT TRAIL, UM, THIS IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE LAST ONE THAT A LOT OF THE UTV AREAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION TODAY, ENCORE, UH, THE, YOU KNOW, WE GOTTA GET A LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH THEM THAT'S GETTING FINALIZED. 
          UM, AND THEN A LOT OF THE WORK IN CITY LINES GETTING, UH, UNDERWAY AS WELL. 
          THERE'S A FEW PICTURES. 
          WE DO HAVE A WEBSITE, UH, FOR THIS PROJECT. 
          WE HAVE NEWSLETTERS THAT WE GET MONTHLY THAT ARE POSTED UP THERE. 
          IN THOSE NEWSLETTERS. 
          THERE'S A LINK THAT YOU CAN SEE EVERY DRONE PHOTO THEY TAKE THAT ARE UPDATED MONTHLY THAT IF YOU, I WAS ACTUALLY DOWNLOADING TODAY, THERE'S LIKE 200 DRONE PHOTOS THAT YOU CAN GET ANYTHING YOU WANT. 
          UM, THIS IS GONNA BE THE CITY LINE AREA. 
          SO YOU CAN SEE THEY'VE GOT THAT BRIDGE BUILT, UM, ACROSS SPRING CREEK. 
          UH, THEY'RE STILL WORKING ON, UM, TAKING THAT TRAIL OVER TO RED MOON UP AT THE STATION. 
          THE TRAIL'S KIND OF ON THE, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THIS PAGE, UH, WHERE IT'LL GO ON KIND OF THE SOUTH SIDE OF CITY LINE DRIVE OVER TO RUTH, RUTH CREEK PARKWAY, WHICH TURNS INTO RUTH EAST DRIVE. 
          UH, YOU CAN SEE THE NEW TRAIL PARALLEL TO THE ROAD AND THEN IT TURNS INTO, IT TURNS INTO THE ROAD, UH, WHICH IS GONNA BE AN ON STREET TWO-WAY CYCLE TRACK. 
          UM, AND THEN KIND OF THE NORTH END OF THE STATION, IT TURNS BACK INTO A TRAIL AND YOU GET UNDER, UM, PGBT, UH, THERE'S, THEY'RE GONNA HAVE TO TEAR UP A LITTLE BIT. 
          THEY'VE GOT SOME REWORK TO DO. 
          THERE'S CERTAIN THINGS THAT WE'RE NOT, UM, COMPLIANT, BUT THEY'RE, UM, THEY'RE GETTING CLOSER ON THAT PIECE OF IT. 
          IN THE UT AREA. 
          UH, YOU KINDA, THIS IS THAT WATER VIEW LOOKING EAST. 
          UH, THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF THE TRAIL FOUR HERE. 
          UM, SO IT'S GONNA BE A CROSSING ON THE NORTH SIDE. 
          SO WE'VE GOT A LEFT SIDE WATER VIEW HERE. 
          UM, THAT'S NOT, THEY'RE STARTING SOME OF THAT'S GONNA BE A SIGNALED CROSSING, SO THEY'RE WORKING ON SOME OF THE EARLY UNDERGROUND WORK ON THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT IT'S NOT BUILT YET. 
          UH, BUT A LOT OF THAT TRAIL, UM, FURTHER TO THE EAST HAS BEEN BUILT ALREADY WHEN YOU GET CLOSER TO LIKE THE WATER TOWER. 
          UM, YOU CAN SEE THEY BUILT IT, IT KIND OF GOES, UH, DOWN THAT KINDA ACCESS DRIVE AND THEN YOU CAN SEE KINDA THE SPLIT THERE, UH, WHERE THE TRAIL GOES. 
          UM, AND THEN THEY'VE GOT A LOT OF THAT TRAIL BUILT ALONG SYNERGY IN THAT AREA. 
          UH, THERE'S A FEW GAPS IN THERE THAT'RE WORKING ON, BUT THEY'RE GETTING THERE. 
          YOU GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER NORTH AND THIS IS POINT NORTH AND YOU SEE RENTER AT THE TOP. 
          UM, THEY'RE GETTING READY TO START AT THE BRIDGES AND THAT'S KINDA THE HARDEST PART IS IT'S A LOT OF RETAINING WALL WORK. 
          UM, AND THEN THAT LONG GOLF RANCH UP TOWARDS RENTER. 
          IT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE THEY'VE DONE A LOT, BUT THEY ACTUALLY HAVE, BECAUSE IT'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE THEY'VE HAD TO EXTEND CULVERTS, UH, TO MAKE ENOUGH SPACE FOR A TRAIL TO PIT IN THROUGH THAT AREA. 
          KINDA SEE IT RIGHT THERE. 
          YEAH, YOU CAN SEE THERE'S A COUPLE CULVERTS IN THERE THAT THEY'VE GOT EXTENDED. 
          UM, AND SO IT SHOULDN'T BEEN TOO MUCH LONGER TO START SEEING SOME TRAIL, UH, GET FORMED IN THAT AREA. 
          GLENVILLE, UH, JUST A COUPLE ELEMENTS OF THIS. 
          SO THIS IS, THIS IS AT GLENVILLE, UM, UH, BUS STOP BIKE LANE PICTURE AGAIN. 
          SO THIS IS GONNA BE WHERE YOUR BIKE IS. 
          THIS IS YOUR SIDEWALK BACK HERE. 
          IT'S KINDA SEPARATED BY A RED RIBBON. 
          UH, THIS IS WHERE A FUTURE SHELTER CAN GO. 
          UM, AND SO KINDA AS PEOPLE WAIT A BUS SHOWS UP, THEY CAN JUST KINDA WALK ACROSS THE BIKE LANE. 
          UM, AND WE'LL HAVE SOME MARKINGS THERE AS WELL TO HELP, UH, GUIDE EVERYONE IN THAT, UM, CENTER. 
          UM, BILL, I THINK I SAW YOU POST A PICTURE ABOUT THIS. 
          YEAH, THE, THE SIGNAL'S GONNA HAVE SOME, UM, BITE SIGNALS SIMILAR TO GREENVILLE, ARAPAHOE. 
          UM, THERE'RE PROBABLY GONNA BE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME WITH THAT, SO WITH SOME DIFFERENT, UM, EQUIPMENT DELAYS ON THAT. 
          BUT THAT WILL BE COMING AND YEAH, THERE'S IN, IN THAT SIGN THERE'S GONNA BE A LITTLE CUTOUT AND THAT'S WHERE A BLUE LIGHT'S GONNA GO AND GET TIED INTO THE SIGNAL. 
          UM, BECAUSE YEAH, IT IS KIND OF A CAMERA THAT WILL BE DETECTING BIKES. 
          UM, AND SO THAT'LL LIGHT UP JUST TO GIVE THAT CONFIRMATION THAT YES, YOU HAVE TO DETECT IT AS A CYCLIST. 
          NOW WILL IT ALSO GET, I WONDER WILL IT ALSO PICK UP A PEDESTRIAN THAT'S COMING DOWN THE PEDESTRIAN SIDE OR SIDE OR WILL THEY HAVE A BUTTON THERE? THEY'LL HAVE A, THEY HAVE A, THEY'LL HAVE A BUTTON. 
          YEAH, PEDESTRIANS WILL HAVE A BUTTON. 
          UM, YOU GO OUT THERE TODAY, IT ACTUALLY WORKS AND YEAH, YEAH, DIFFERENT BECAUSE IT'S ALSO, IT'S A BUTTON YOU DON'T HAVE TO PRESS. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY, YOU CAN WAVE IN FRONT OF IT. 
          IT'S, I FORGET WHAT THE, THE DEPTH IS, BUT IT'S, IT CAN SENSE IT LIKE A FOOT OR TWO AWAY. 
          UM, SO YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO, YOU TOUCH THE BUTTON. 
          UM, BUT IT IS UP AND DOWN. 
          UH, GLENVILLE, UH, THE MARKINGS ARE COMING, BUT KIND OF ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE YOU'LL HAVE A SIDEWALK AND THEN IT'S A KIND OF A RANGE SIDEWALK LEVEL BIKE LANE, UH, TO SEPARATE YOU FROM TRAFFIC. 
          UM, BUT IT'D STILL BE A ONE-WAY BIKE LANE FACILITY. 
          AND TO CONFIRM, THAT'S STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION, RIGHT? YES, THAT IS STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION. 
          UM, THERE'S BIG HOLES IN IT, SO YEAH. 
          SO DON'T, SO DON'T RIDE THERE. 
          WELL, YEAH, UTILITY WORK, THERE'S STILL MOVING SOME OF THOSE HANDHOLDS 
          [01:20:01]
AND GROUND BOXES IN THERE THAT, THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FINDING A LOT OF HOLES IN THERE. 
          SO, AND THERE ARE BIG SIGNS THAT SAY CLOSE , THEY WARNED YOU. 
          YEAH. 
          ALRIGHT. 
          ANY KINDA QUESTIONS ON PROJECTS OR ANY OF THESE ELEMENTS? HEY, NO QUESTIONS. 
          OH, GO AHEAD. 
          I'M SORRY. 
          FOR WRAP TRAIL, IS THAT GOING ACROSS THE NORTH AND THEN THERE'LL BE A CROSSING? YES. 
          SO THAT IS UNDER DESIGN. 
          SO IT'LL HAVE, IT'LL BE A TRAIL ON THE NORTH SIDE. 
          UM, AND THIS IS ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE LOCATIONS THAT WE WILL HAVE, WE HAVE A PEDESTRIAN HYDRO PEAKING UNDER DESIGN, UM, CROSSING, CLEAN CUT FRONT ROAD. 
          IT'LL BE KIND OF LINED UP WITH THE ENTRANCE TO BE ABLE TO GET INTO THE LIBRARY. 
          THAT'S THE CLOSET FACILITIES. 
          IT'S GONNA BE LINED UP THAT, UM, WHICH ALSO IT ALIGNS WITH WHERE THE BUS STOPS ARE SO THAT IF SOMEONE IS TAKING A BUS TO AND FROM THOSE FACILITIES, THEY HAVE A SAFE CROSSING TO AT ACCESS THE BUS STOPS ON EITHER SIDE, BUT THE ACTUAL TRAIL, ONCE IT GETS TO THE WEST SIDE OF 75 WILL UTILIZE THAT STRIP OF LAND THAT THE CITY OWNS IN THEIR RENTAL SIDE. 
          CORRECT. 
          YEAH. 
          ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT? SO, UH, NOW WE HAVE SOME TIME THAT WE CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT JUST, UH, REPORTS OF ITEMS OF COMMUNITY INTEREST. 
          SO DOES ANYBODY HAVE, DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ON THERE? NO, I, I HAVE A COUPLE THINGS I'LL WALK THROUGH REAL QUICK AND THEN I, I'LL HAND IT OVER TO ANY OTHER QUESTIONS.

          THEY, WHILE THEY WERE IN BURLESON, UM, I HAD BEEN TALKING TO THEM AND UH, THEY CAME OUT AND BROUGHT THE ROBOT. 
          THAT'S WHERE THAT PICTURE IS. 
          IT'S ACTUALLY OUT, OUT FRONT HERE, THIS BUILDING. 
          MM-HMM . 
          UM, AND THEY DID A LITTLE LOOP ON THE SIDEWALKS AROUND THE, THE FACILITY HERE. 
          UM, PROVIDE KINDA A DEMONSTRATION OF WHAT THAT, WHAT THEIR DATA LOOKS LIKE. 
          SO, BUT WHAT I THOUGHT WAS REAL INTERESTING AND I READ ABOUT IT IN BURSON AND THEN ARLINGTON'S ALSO DOING IT AND THEN, UH, AND THEN OF COURSE ACROSS THE COUNTRY IS THAT, IS THAT IT, IT OBVIOUSLY IS SENSITIVE ENOUGH THAT AS IT GOES FROM BLOCK TO BLOCK DOWN THE SIDEWALK, IT ACTUALLY RECORDS HOW MANY MILLIMETERS, YOU KNOW, IT'S OUT OF ALIGNMENT. 
          AND THEY SAID THAT IF YOU PAY THEM THE MONEY, THEY'LL PRODUCE A MAP OF WHATEVER AREA YOU WANT AND IT'LL RATE ALL THE SIDEWALKS AND IDENTIFY THE PLACES THAT NEED THAT MOST NEED REPLACEMENT OR, OR REPAIR. 
          AND UH, I DON'T KNOW, TO ME THAT SEEMED LIKE A REAL GOOD USE FOR, FOR, FOR ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES TO HAVE IT OUT WALKING THE SIDEWALKS. 
          RIGHT. 
          AND YOU SAID THEY SAID THAT LIKE ONE OF THEIR EMPLOYEES CAN MANAGE ABOUT FIVE OF THE ROBOTS OR SO, OR YEAH, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. 
          THEY SAID THEY'RE SEMI-AUTONOMOUS, SO FOR THE MOST PART THEY CAN GO OUT ON THEIR OWN, BUT YEAH. 
          YEAH. 
          AND AND WHAT I READ WAS THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE. 
          YEAH. 
          WHAT I READ WAS THE BIGGEST NEGATIVE IS IT WAS, IT WAS, IT WAS FREAKING PEOPLE OUT, YOU KNOW, HAVE THESE ROBOTS, THE SIDEWALK, I DON'T KNOW THEY DELIVER, THEY DID IT WITH FOR IT, I FORGET. 
          YEAH. 
          THEY NAMED 'EM ALL THE COMPANY THAT'S DOING IT IN ARLINGTON. 
          THEY DON'T, THEY DON'T HAVE HU THEY HAVE, THEY LOOK LIKE THE DELIVERY ROBOTS. 
          THEY'RE THE BOXY

ONES AND I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW.

          YEAH, I I THINK IT WOULD PROBABLY BE BETTER TO HAVE THE, I, I DON'T KNOW IF I'D WANT THAT WALKING DOWN MY SIDE ANYWAY. 
          BUT I THOUGHT THAT IT LOOKED LIKE AN INTERESTING TECHNOLOGY. 
          PROBABLY VERY EXPENSIVE, BUT, ALRIGHT.

          KIND OF ON A CASE BY CASE THAT IF THE PEDESTRIAN, IF A PEDESTRIAN PUSHES THE BUTTON MM-HMM .
