Dec 16, 2025 Planning &amp; Zoning Commission Work Session

UM, AND I'VE BEEN MEANING TO ASK YOU, BUT THE SIGNAGE WENT UP THIS LAST WEEK.

SO SOCIAL POOR, I THINK IT'S CALLED BY TABLE 13.

DOES IT HAVE RIGHT FOR LIQUOR OR DOES IT NEED TO COME THROUGH SUP? YEAH, SO THE PREVIOUS, UM, BREAKFAST PLACE HAD A LIQUOR LICENSE.

BENEDICT.

I COULDN'T REMEMBER IF THEY HAD SERVED LIKE MIMOSAS OR NOT.

ANYWAY, OKAY.

SO THAT EXPLAINS THAT.

OKAY, THANK YOU.

ALRIGHT.

AND THEN THE NEXT, UM, YEAH, SO THE NEXT ITEM IS JUST A QUICK OVERVIEW OF ITEMS ON THE REGULAR AGENDA.

THE FIRST ITEM IS THE MINUTES OF THE OCTOBER 21ST PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION MEETING.

UM, I BELIEVE THERE WAS A QUESTION, I THINK YOU HAD SENT IN A QUESTION ABOUT MINUTES, CORRECT? YEAH.

YES, I DID.

DID I, DID I RESPOND TO THAT? NOPE.

APOLOGIZE.

DO YOU REMIND, DO DO I NEED TO REMIND YOU WHAT MY QUESTION WAS OR? NO, I REMEMBER.

I THOUGHT I RESPONDED, SO, OKAY.

I REMEMBER.

HEARING COMMENT CARD THAT THEY ARE OPPOSED TO, WE LEAVE IT AS THEY SPOKE DURING THE HEARING.

THE QUESTION WAS, UH, IN THE MINUTES REGARDING THE, UM, PUBLIC HEARING SPEAKERS, IF THERE NEEDS TO BE STATED IF THEY WERE FOR OR AGAINST A PARTICULAR ITEM.

UM, SO HISTORICALLY WE HAVE NOT IDENTIFIED, UM, BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SOME AGGRIEVED PARTIES WHERE STAFF HAS MADE A STATEMENT, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT A PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL WAS AGAINST AN ITEM AND THEY'VE COME BACK AND SAID THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY NOT AGAINST IT AND THEY WERE UPSET WITH HOW THEY WERE CLASSIFIED IN THAT REGARD.

SO UNLESS IT IS VERY, VERY CLEAR AND THEY MARK ON THEIR PUBLIC

[00:05:01]

AND SO, SO IS YOUR GENERAL AS YOU'RE JUST NOT DOING IT, BECAUSE I'M PRETTY SURE THERE WAS ONES THAT WERE ON THERE THAT FILLED OUT CARDS THAT WERE VERY ADAMANTLY OPPOSED OR WHATEVER.

CORRECT.

AND THEN IF ANYONE WANTS TO HEAR THEIR PARTICULAR COMMENTS, THEY CAN WATCH THE ONLINE RECORDING.

AND THEN THE NEXT ITEM WAS A REPL REQUEST.

THIS IS FOR THE ADDISON AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL DISTRICT.

IT IS ONE LOT.

IT IS ACTUALLY AN EXISTING LOT.

UM, AND THEY'RE GOING THROUGH A REPL, UM, WITH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROPERTY TO ESTABLISH SEVERAL EASEMENTS.

UM, THAT PARTICULAR ITEM IS NOT READY, SO IT'S RUNNING CONCURRENTLY WITH THE CIVIL PERMIT AND THE CIVIL, THERE WAS SOME THINGS THAT STILL NEED TO BE FLUSHED OUT WITH THE CIVIL PERMIT.

SO, UH, THE APPLICANT AS WELL AS STAFF IS SUPPORTING A 30 DAY EXTENSION OF THAT PARTICULAR ITEM.

SO NO FORMAL APPROVAL ACTION OR DENIAL ACTION ON THAT PARTICULAR ITEM.

WE'RE ASKING FOR A 30 DAY EXTENSION.

IT WOULD COME BACK BEFORE THE COMMISSION IN JANUARY.

UM, IT IS ANTICIPATED AT THAT TIME.

IT'LL BE READY FOR CONSIDERATION.

AND THAT WAS THE, JUST THE DEVELOPMENT WAS FOR THE RAA HANGAR, WHICH CAME BEFORE YOU ALL EARLIER THIS YEAR, MAYBE JUNE TIMEFRAME.

UM, THE THIRD ITEM IS THE PRESTIGE AMBIANCE HOOKAH LOUNGE.

UM, THIS, YOU'VE HEARD THIS ONE, THE LAST MEETING.

UM, IT'S THE SPECIAL USE PERMIT TO REUSE AN EXISTING, EXISTING BUILDING.

ANY QUESTIONS ON THAT? YEAH, YOU PUT A LOT OF RESTRICTIONS IN THERE.

WHAT, GIVE ME A GUT FEELING CHECK OF LIKE WHAT, WHAT KIND OF RESOURCES IT'S GONNA TAKE FOR YOU TO ALL KEEP UP ON THEM NOT DOING ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE BEING PROHIBIT PROHIBITED IN THEIR SURE.

USE PERMIT.

SO, UM, THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT WE CAN, UH, CONFIRM, UH, DURING THE CO PROCESS.

AND THEN WE WOULD RECONFIRM THEM THROUGH A, UM, TWICE A YEAR ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH INSPECTION, WHICH IS ESSENTIALLY THE FOOD HEALTH PERMIT.

UM, SO, AND THINGS THAT WE WOULD CHECK UP ON OCCASIONALLY, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, IF HYPOTHETICALLY IF WE WERE TO BE APPROVED TO BE TO CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT, WE COULD LOOK AT THEIR GOOGLE LISTING AND IF THEIR GOOGLE LISTING SAYS THEY'RE OPEN TILL 3:00 AM THAT'S A VIOLATION, AS AN EXAMPLE.

UM, A LOT OF THESE THINGS TOO, WE WOULD ADDRESS BY COMPLAINT.

SO IF WE IDENTIFY THERE IS A COMPLAINT, WE WOULD THEN NEED TO FOLLOW UP.

BUT IF WE DO NOT HAVE THOSE CONDITIONS IDENTIFIED, IT IS MUCH MORE CHALLENGING TO, UM, ENFORCE.

SO I GUESS WHAT I'M GETTING AT IS A LOT OF THIS THEIR OPERATION TIMES AND THAT IS OUTSIDE OF YOUR OFFICE HOURS.

SO YOU'RE OH, WE HAVE, WE HAVE, UM, CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS THAT WORK AFTER HOURS.

THAT'S WHAT I WAS GETTING.

THAT WAS MY NEXT QUESTION WAS IF THAT, SORRY.

NO, THAT'S OKAY.

SO WE'RE NOT TALKING OVERTIME GETTING KICKED IN FOR HAVING TO MONITOR.

SO WE HAVE A ROTATING SCHEDULE.

WE HAVE OFFICERS WORK EVERY WEEKEND, AND THEN WE DO, IT COULD BE OVERTIME OR WE COULD DO A, A SHIFTED SCHEDULE THAT'S VERY COMMON FOR OUR OFFICE.

THEIR CERTIFICATE OF OCCUPANCY.

I I JUST KIND OF THOUGHT YOUR GROUP KIND OF FELL MORE TO LIKE THE EIGHT TO FIVE MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND IF THIS STARTED TO BECOME A PROBLEM WHERE WE'RE HAVING TO PULL IN LIKE OVERTIME BECAUSE THEY'RE PUTTING MUSIC ON AND DA DA DA.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY.

YEAH, SO WE HAVE, TECHNICALLY WE HAVE COVERAGE EVERY DAY OF THE WEEK FROM AT LEAST, UH, SEVEN TO, UH, 7:00 PM THANK YOU.

I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS.

ONE IS, UH, WHAT DOES ENFORCEMENT LOOK LIKE? FOR WHAT SPECIFICALLY? SORRY, THEY VIOLATE THE HOURS OF THE NOISE OR THE RENTING OF THE SPACE OR WHATEVER.

WHAT DOES ENFORCEMENT LOOK LIKE? YEAH, SO IT DEPENDS ON EXACTLY WHAT IT IS.

SO I'LL USE THE, UM, HOURS OF OPERATION FOR THIS EXAMPLE, BUT TYPICALLY IT WOULD BEGIN WITH A NOTICE OF VIOLATION.

SO WE WOULD SEND THEM A FORMAL NOTICE.

UM, IT DOES IDENTIFY A COMPLIANCE DATE THAT WOULD TYPICALLY BE, UM, ABOUT 10 BUS, 10 BUSINESS DAYS.

THE COMPLIANCE DATE, IT COULD BE LESS OR MORE DEPENDING UPON THE SEVERITY AND THE TYPE OF, OF, UM, YOU KNOW, THINGS NEEDED TO COME INTO COMPLIANCE.

IF IT WAS, YOU KNOW, SIGNIFICANT CONSTRUCTION, THINGS LIKE THAT, THE COMPLIANCE DATE MIGHT BE LONGER, BUT FOR THIS EXAMPLE, IT WOULD PROBABLY BE 10 BUSINESS DAYS.

IF THEY HAVE NOT UPDATED, FOR EXAMPLE, ALL OF THEIR POSTINGS, HOURS OF OPERATIONS, THEN THEY COULD RECEIVE A FINE UP TO $2,000 PER DAY.

THE VIOLATION EXISTS.

NOW, IF THAT IS A CONTINUAL ISSUE, SO FOR EXAMPLE, IF THAT OCCURRED AT A BUSINESS WHERE THEY VIOL MADE ONE VIOLATION, THEY WERE CAUGHT AND THEY, THEY CORRECTED IT, UM, WE WOULD KIND OF LEAVE IT BE IF IT WAS A HABITUAL PROBLEM OR A REOCCURRING PROBLEM, WE COULD ESCALATE IT TO THE POINT OF, UM, REVOKING

[00:10:01]

AND MY SECOND QUESTION IS, IS THE APPLICANT THE OWNER OF THE BUILDING, POTENTIAL OWNER OF THE BUILDING? THAT IS CORRECT.

AND, UH, HE HAS INFORMED US HE'LL BE PRESENT TONIGHT.

UM, WE HAVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENTS THAT CAME IN AND IT'S REPRESENTING A NUMBER OF THINGS, ABOUT HOURS OF OPERATIONS OF LIKE, OR SIMILAR BUSINESSES.

CAN YOU CONFIRM, UM, THAT LISTING ACCURACY? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I WAS, UM, SO SORRY.

THIS, THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS UP.

I FORGOT TO MENTION IT.

UM, THIS, UM, WE GOT RECEIVED THIS EMAIL ABOUT, UH, PROBABLY ABOUT FOUR O'CLOCK THIS AFTERNOON.

UM, SPECIFIC TO THIS PARTICULAR ITEM.

UM, I BELIEVE YOU ALL RECEIVED IT VIA EMAIL AS WELL, BUT WE PRINTED OFF A COPY AND PROVIDED IT TO YOU.

AND IT IS SHOULD BE IN YOUR ONEDRIVE AS WELL FOR REFERENCE.

UM, LET ME LOOK HERE.

UH, SO LA PASHA, I CANNOT VERIFY THE FIRST ONE, WHICH IS X SHEHA.

I CANNOT VERIFY THE HOURS OF OPERATION ON THAT.

UH, LA PASHA IS REQUIRED TO CLOSE AT 2:00 AM ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND MIDNIGHT THE OTHER DAYS.

UM, THIS ACTUALLY, THIS PARTICULAR INDIVIDUAL, WHEN THIS CAME BEFORE YOU ALL IN OCTOBER, UM, THIS, THERE WAS A SIMILAR, I DON'T KNOW IF IT WAS THE SAME, BUT A SIMILAR EMAIL WAS SENT OUT.

UM, I ACTUALLY DOUBLE CHECKED AND LA PASHA PER ORDINANCE WAS REQUIRED TO CLOSE MIDNIGHT, UM, SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY, AND THEN 2:00 AM FRIDAY AND SATURDAY.

UM, THIS HAS BEEN CORRECTED.

THEY WERE SENT A NOTICE OF VIOLATION.

THEY WERE, UH, INFORMED THAT THEY WERE VIOLATING THEIR SUP AND IF THEY DID NOT CORRECT IT, THEY WOULD, IT WOULD BE REVOKED.

SO THAT IS 2:00 AM NOT 3:00 AM.

UM, ALL AMIR HOURS AREN'T LISTED.

ROYAL PALACE, UM, I BEL THAT MAY BE ACCURATE.

THAT PART ROYAL PALACE, A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND ON THAT ONE.

UM, THAT'S NUMBER FOUR ON THE LIST.

THAT SPECIAL USE PERMIT THAT THEY'RE OPERATING UNDER WAS APPROVED, I BELIEVE IN THE EARLY EIGHTIES.

I'D BE HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU.

UM, IT DOES NOT HAVE HOURS OF OPERATION LISTED AND IT IS, UM, CONSIDERED EITHER A OR POTENTIALLY IN SOME ASPECTS COULD BE CONSIDERED ILLEGAL NON-CONFORMING USE.

UM, SO WE HAVE DONE MULTIPLE SITE VISITS AND MADE SURE THEY'RE IN COMPLIANCE AND WE ARE ENFORCING WHAT WE ARE ABLE TO AT THIS TIME IS, IS THAT WHY WE DO LIMIT THESE APPROVALS NOW TO THE OP CURRENT OPERATOR? THAT IS ONE REASON.

I'VE GOT A COUPLE AS WELL, LESLIE, UNLESS YOU HAVE A THOUGHT TO FINISH UP.

NOPE, THAT WAS IT.

DID I LOOKED THROUGH THE PLANS OF THE BUILDING? I JUST WANNA CONFIRM.

I DIDN'T SEE AN ELEVATOR.

THERE'S NO ELEVATOR.

I'LL, UH, TD LR OR CAN YOU USE YOUR MIC PLEASE? SORRY.

UM, TASK TEXAS ACCESSIBILITY, UH, HAS AN EXCEPTION 3000 SQUARE FEET OR LESS.

UM, DOES NOT REQUIRE AN ELEVATOR.

I SEE.

I STILL DON'T LIKE IT, BUT I, I I SEE.

NO, I, I CHASE THAT BECAUSE YEAH.

UM, AND THEN THEY FINE.

SO YEAH.

HAS, SO THE OWNER WILL BE HERE TONIGHT.

HAVE THEY COMMENTED AT ALL ABOUT THE POTENTIAL COMPETITIVENESS IN KIND OF THE, UH, HOOKAH SPHERE WITH ANY RESTRICTIONS ON OUR RIGHT.

BECAUSE IF THEY CLOSE AT MIDNIGHT, BUT EVERYONE ELSE IS UP UNTIL TWO, UM, THEY HAVE NOT.

SOCIAL OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT? IS IT UNIQUE AMONGST NIGHTLIFE IS, I GUESS IS A, A QUESTION THAT, UM, SO I WOULD, THAT'S A LITTLE BIT TRICKY TO ANSWER.

MADE ANY COMMENTS RELATED TO THE COMPETITIVE NATURE OF THE NUMBER OF BUSINESSES IN, IN THE AREA? YEAH.

UM, ONLY THAT THEY WERE, YOU KNOW, DISPLEASED WITH THE CONDITION.

SURE, SURE.

UM, AND THEN LAST ONE, SO HAS, HAS ADDISON PD OR CODE ENFORCEMENT TALKED ABOUT ANY PATTERN OR ISSUE WITH THESE TYPES OF BUSINESSES? UH, AS FAR AS CRIME, OTHER, OTHER THINGS THAT MIGHT BOTHER SOMEBODY? YEAH, SO THERE HAVE BEEN, WE HAVE HAD MANY ONGOING CONTINUE TO HAVE AND HAVE HAD IN THE PAST ONGOING CONVERSATIONS WITH PD AS WELL AS, UM, FIRE ABOUT, SO TYPICALLY IF THERE IS ACTIVITY THROUGH THE NIGHT, UM, SOMETIMES IT IS NOT ALWAYS THE MOST DESIRABLE ACTIVITY MM-HMM .

UM, AND SOMETIMES, AND USUALLY ACTIVITY IN AN AREA THAT LATE AT NIGHT, UM, CAN LEAD TO, TO MORE CALLS FOR SERVICE AS AN NAME, AS AN EXAMPLE.

MM-HMM .

HAS IT OUTPACED SIMILAR DISTRICTS WITH BAR, YOU KNOW, BAR IS LIKE, UH, OVER BY SIDECAR

[00:15:01]

YEAH, THAT'S FAIR.

UM, SO I WOULD SAY YES FOR SOME OF OUR BUSINESSES THAT YOU SEE ON THIS LIST THAT WAS PROVIDED TO YOU THAT ARE OPEN, UM, INTO THE MORNING, EARLY MORNING HOURS.

UM, I WOULD SAY IT IS QUITE, UM, AS A GENERALIZATION, IT IS FAIRLY UNCOMMON FOR OUR RESTAURANTS THAT SELL ALCOHOL TO BE OPEN PAST 2:00 AM BECAUSE TABC REQUIRES THEM TO CLOSE IT TOO IF THEY HAVE A-T-A-B-C LICENSE.

SO THEREFORE, UM, THAT'S WHY I SAY IT'S HARD TO COMPARE 'CAUSE IT'S, IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT BUSINESS MODEL.

UM, BUT MOST OF THE TIME, SO THEN WHEN YOU'RE JUST LOOKING AT A BUSINESS THAT'S CLOSED FROM TWO TO FIVE AS AN EXAMPLE, AND A BUSINESS THAT'S OPERATING WITH BYOB FROM TWO TO FIVE, THERE IS USUALLY MORE CALLS FOR SERVICE AT THAT BUSINESS.

WE, WE ALSO HAD A DISCUSSION ON, UH, ADDISON'S SMOKING POLICY THAT THERE ISN'T MUCH, DO WE AS A PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION HAVE ANY MECHANISM TO RECOMMEND THAT THE COUNCIL LOOK AT THAT CAN, IS THERE ANY MECHANISM WHERE WE COULD SAY WE'D LIKE THE COUNCIL TO LOOK AT THAT, UM, AT THE SMOKING ORDINANCE? UM, SO AS, YES, THAT'S SOMETHING THAT AS STAFF WE CAN TAKE BACK TO THE CITY MANAGER'S OFFICE AND SAY THIS IS HAS BEEN SOMETHING THAT PNZ HAS ASKED FOR, UM, YOU'RE WELCOME TO REACH OUT TO YOUR COUNCIL MEMBERS AS WELL.

UM, THE TO ON THAT POINT, THIS IS THE SMOKING ORDINANCE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS FOR ADDISON FOR FOOD ESTABLISHMENTS.

UM, AND I'M GONNA BRIEFLY TOUCH ON WHAT APPLIES HERE.

IT SAYS SMOKE NON-SMOKING AREAS SHOULD BE SEPARATED WHERE FEASIBLE FROM SMOKING AREAS BY A MINIMUM OF FOUR FEET OF CONTINUOUS FLOOR SPACE.

SO NO SOLID BARRIER OF ANY KIND.

AND GENERALLY IT SHOULD BE VENTILATED AND SITUATED SO THAT WE'RE FEASIBLE SO THAT AIR FROM THE SMOKING AREA DOES NOT DRAWN INTO OR CROSS THE NON-SMOKING AREA.

AND IT MUST CLEARLY BE DESIGNATED BY SIGNAGE, SMOKING VERSUS NON-SMOKING.

UM, BUT OTHERWISE THERE'S NO PARAMETERS FOR THAT AS IT EXISTS TODAY.

WELL AS SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE PERMITTED USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS.

AND SO I DIDN'T KNOW IF THERE WAS A FORMAL PO A FORMAL MECHANISM WHEREBY THIS BOARD COULD SAY, THAT WAS MY QUESTION.

AND, UM, I WILL STATE HOWEVER, AS A CONDITION OF ANY SUP WHERE SMOKING IS INCLUDED, OR I GUESS SMOKING ISN'T INCLUDED.

UM, THE P AND Z COMMISSION CAN MAKE A REC CONDITION ON ANY APPROVAL RELATED TO SMOKING IF THEY SO CHOOSE.

HUH? SAY THAT AGAIN.

SO, JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, I DON'T, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS APPLICABLE, BUT IF THE COMMISSION WANTED TO RECOMMEND APPROVAL FOR THIS PARTICULAR APPLICATION TONIGHT, UM, THE COMMISSION COULD MAKE A RECOMMENDATION THAT A DESIGNATE OR THERE BE A DESIGNATED NON-SMOKING AREA THAT IS ENCLOSED BY WALLS.

OH, AS AN EXAMPLE.

I DON'T, I'M GONNA SAY WE COULDN'T, WE COULDN'T SAY LIKE, OH OUR, WE'RE GONNA APPROVE IT, BUT NO SMOKING'S ALLOWED , NO, I I THINK IT WOULD HAVE TO BE, IT WOULD HAVE TO BE A CON CONDITION OF RELATED TO THE USE .

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS ON THAT ONE? OKAY.

UM, AND THEN THE LAST ITEM IS, UH, ITEM FOUR IS A, ANOTHER AMENDMENT FOR AMLI TREE HOUSE PHASE TWO.

THIS IS SPECIFIC TO PHASE TWO AND SPECIFIC TO THE RETAIL COMPONENT AT THE FAR, UM, NORTH EAST CORNER, THE HARD CORNER OF MIDWAY AND BELTWAY DRIVE, THESE ARE THOSE TWO, UH, RETAIL PAD SITES.

ONCE IT WAS KIND OF VERY SIMILAR TO THE PREVIOUS, UM, CONSIDERATION YOU ALL HAD WITH THE TOWN HOMES IS IT WAS THAT WAS ALWAYS APPROVED SPECULATIVE SPECULATIVELY, UH, WITH VERY LITTLE DETAIL.

IT WAS ALWAYS INTENDED TO COME BACK FOR STEP TWO WHEN THEY HAD MORE DETAIL, A MORE FORM FIRM GRASP ON WHO THEIR TENANTS MAY BE.

UM, THEY DO NOT AT THIS TIME HAVE ANY SPECIFIC TENANTS.

THEY HAVE A, UM, A COUPLE THAT ARE LINED UP AND IF THEY ARE, I WILL DEFER TO THE APPLICANT IF THEY'RE WILLING TO DISCLOSE THEM.

I'M NOT SURE WHERE THEY'RE AT WITH, AT AT THAT STAGE.

UM, BUT THAT'S WHAT THIS IS SPECIFIC TO IS THOSE TWO, UM, USE THOSE TWO BUILDINGS IDENTIFIED AS 15 AND 16 ON THE PLAN.

UM, THIS DOES INCLUDE APPROVAL OF THE DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR THOSE TWO BUILDINGS AS

[00:20:01]

UM, I WILL NOTE THAT ALL OF THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE PERMITTED USE AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE FOR THEM TO BE CONSISTENT WITH THE M TWO ZONING DISTRICT AND THE UDC.

UM, SO FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE FORMER CODE RETAIL WAS EXTREMELY BROAD AND INCLUDED MANY SUBSEQUENT USES AS AN OVERARCHING USE.

THE NEW UDC SEPARATES MANY OF THESE USES INTO MORE SPECIFIC DEFINITIONS AND THEREFORE IN ORDER TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE WERE STILL CONTINUING TO BE ALLOWED FOR CLARITY PURPOSES, UM, THEY WERE ADDED TO THE LIST.

THE ONE, UM, I'M GONNA SAY DEVIATION IF YOU WILL, IS THE ADDITION OF AN ANIMAL GROOMING LAND USE.

AND THE DEFINITION FOR THAT, THE UDC DOES NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A SPECIFIC DE DEFINITION, UH, FOR ANIMAL GROOMING.

UM, AND THAT HAS BEEN PROPOSED IN THE RED LINE.

UM, I'LL ALSO ADD THAT EVEN THOUGH THESE USES ARE PERMITTED AS A PER ARE IDENTIFIED AS A PERMITTED USE, THEY'RE ONLY IDENTIFIED AS A PERMITTED USES.

PERMITTED USES IN BUILDINGS WHICH ARE IDENTIFIED FOR RETAIL ON THE SITE PLAN, WHICH IS BUILDINGS 15 AND 16 AS AN EXAMPLE.

THEY COULD NOT CONVERT A FEE SIMPLE TOWN HOME TO AN ANIMAL GROOMING BUSINESS.

UM, AND THEN THE OTHER, OH YEAH, ON THAT SLIDE, UH, IF YOU COULD GO BACK USES, SORRY.

YEP.

SO DO WE HAVE OTHER AREAS WHERE WE PERMIT ALCOHOL SALES AND CONSUMPTION OUTSIDE? IF I READ THAT CORRECTLY? DO WE HAVE ANY, UM, THAT IS ONLY ALLOWED BY SPECIAL USE PERMIT? DO WE HAVE ANY SUCH PERMITS? HAVE WE ISSUED YOU IT IT IS ALLOWED BY A SPECIAL USE PERMIT IN OTHER M TWO DISTRICTS.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OTHER PD HAS A SIMILAR STANDARD OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

AND WE COULD RECOMMEND THIS WITHOUT THAT INCLUSION.

CORRECT? YEAH.

UM, THE INTENT BEHIND THAT IS, FOR EXAMPLE, UM, POSTINO'S IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF THAT.

POSTINO'S HAS A, THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A WINE RETAIL COMPONENT AT THE FRONT OF THEIR RESTAURANT WHERE YOU COULD BUY WINE TO GO.

JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT ABOUT THE INTENT BEHIND THAT.

THIS INCLUDES CONSUMPTION THOUGH NOT SALES.

THAT IS HOW IT'S, THAT'S HOW THE CODE IS WRITTEN.

'CAUSE IT'S NOT INTENDED TO BE ON SITE CONSUMED, IT'S OFFSITE CONSUMPTION.

SO POSTINO'S GOT APPROVED FOR A RESTAURANT WITH BEER AND WINE SALES FOR OFF-PREMISE CONSUMPTION.

UM, THEN THE OTHER SUBSTANTIAL CHANGE WAS UNDER PARKING STANDARDS.

UM, NOT REALLY, NOT SO MUCH CHANGE, BUT ADDITION OF THOSE USES UNDER THE PARKING STANDARDS TO ALIGN WITH, UM, THOSE NEW PARKING STANDARDS WITHIN THE UDC.

UM, WHAT'S THEIR TOTAL PARKING THAT THEY HAVE ON SITE? UM, IT'S APPROXIMATELY 383 77.

ARE THEY REQUIRED TO PUT IN EV CHARGERS? UM, THEY ARE, THEY HAVE SEVERAL EV CHARGERS.

I CAN GET YOU A NUMBER.

I DON'T HAVE A NUMBER OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

I ASSUME IT WOULD BE IN COMPLIANCE WITH OUR CURRENT NEW, WITH NEW UDC SINCE THIS IS HAPPENING UNDER THE NEW UDC.

YEAH, WE PUT, WE PUT, THEY ACTUALLY FOR PHASE SPECIAL USE PERMIT FOR PHASE ONE, THEY ACTUALLY HAD TO, THEY WERE REQUIRED A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EV CHARGERS MM-HMM .

AND SO I DON'T, LET ME, LET ME CONFIRM AND I'LL MAKE SURE TO CLARIFY THAT I DON'T WANNA PROVIDE ANY INCORRECT INFORMATION.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? HAVE THEY HAD A CHANCE TO IDENTIFY WHERE THEIR DUMPSTER OH YEAH.

THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THAT UP.

LAST ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE, UM, PRESENTATION OF THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO, UM, LET'S SEE WHERE, SO I CAN'T SEE IT, BUT IMMEDIATELY SOUTH OF BUILDING 15, WHICH IS THE SOUTHERN MOST, UH, BUILDING SHOWN IN PINK THERE, UM, THERE IS ACTUALLY A VERY LARGE CENTRAL TRASH COMPACTOR THAT IT, THE INTENT IS THAT IT WILL SERVE THE ENTIRE SITE, INCLUDING THE TWO RETAIL BUILDINGS.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ALRIGHT, AND THE, THE APPLICANT, I'LL HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION AS WELL FOR THIS ITEM.

AND THEN THE

[3. Present and discuss the 2025 Draft Master Transportation Plan to include updates from the 2016 Master Transportation Plan, City Council input received at the October 28, 2025 City Council meeting, improved roadway cross-sections, incorporation of the Advance Addison 2050, pedestrian toolbox, and revised speed limits, public comments received, along with an overview of upcoming project recommendations as prepared by Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. in coordination with Town staff.]

UM, I'LL

[00:25:01]

LET OUR PUB DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING BECKY DIY, DO THAT PRESENTATION.

AND THEN SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS.

LESLIE.

HELLO EVERYONE.

MY NAME'S BECKY DIVINITY.

I'M THE DIRECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING SERVE AS THE TOWN CITY ENGINEER.

LET ME GET TO, SORRY.

IT'S OKAY.

I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE RIGHT AFTER THIS.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ALRIGHTY.

WELL, I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE TONIGHT WITH YOU TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.

UM, I APPRECIATE ALL OF THOSE OF YOU WHO TOOK THE TIME TO GIVE ME SOME COMMENTS.

I DID RECEIVE SOME OF THOSE, UM, JUST YESTERDAY, SO I HAVEN'T HAD A CHANCE TO ADDRESS ALL OF THEM, BUT HAVE, UH, READ THROUGH THEM ALL.

SO I'M JUST GONNA WALK YOU THROUGH KIND OF WHERE WE ARE, UM, TODAY AND, AND HOW THE PROCESS HAS MOVED FORWARD.

UM, I'VE BEEN WITH THE TOWN A LITTLE BIT OVER A YEAR, AND AS SOON AS I CAME TO THE TOWN, UM, THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WE WERE MOVING FORWARD WITH.

UM, AND THROUGH THAT PROCESS, UM, I NOTICED THERE WAS A COUPLE OF GAPS IN THE OVERALL PROPOSAL THAT WERE BEING SUBMITTED.

SO I REQUESTED THAT WE ADD A COUPLE OF DIFFERENT ITEMS, UM, TO THE OVERALL MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO I'M EXCITED TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THAT WERE THINGS THAT WERE NOT, UM, IN THE PLAN.

UM, I'VE WORKED ON PLANS IN OTHER CITIES THAT I'VE WORKED IN BEFORE, SO JUST KIND OF AN OVERVIEW.

UM, A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES AGREEMENT WAS PUT TOGETHER WITH KIMBERLY HOR AND ASSOCIATES, UM, THAT WAS TAKEN TO COUNSEL BACK NOVEMBER 12TH, 2024 IN THE AMOUNT OF $144,500.

UM, THAT DID INCLUDE THE ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN TOOLBOX THAT, UM, I HAD REQUESTED BE ADDED.

UM, AND COUNCIL DID, UH, MOVE FORWARD WITH THAT.

THE FIRST COUNCIL MEETING I ATTENDED, WHICH WAS OCTOBER 22ND OF 24, THE FIRST THING I HEARD OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF THE CITY COUNCIL WAS WE NEED PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

AND SO I WAS REALLY EXCITED TO BE ABLE TO ADD THAT.

UM, THE REASON WHY I'M HERE TODAY, UM, MS. ROSS NOTIFIED ME THAT THE COMP PLAN STATES THAT THE MTP, UM, DOES HAVE TO BE ADOPTED, UM, BY ORDINANCE AFTER REVIEWING THE PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION IN A PUBLIC HEARING AT A CITY COUNCIL MEETING.

SO WE'VE BEEN TO TWO COUNCIL MEETINGS.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAD A WORK SESSION ON SEPTEMBER 9TH, UM, WHERE WE WENT THROUGH THE OVERALL UH, PRESENTATION.

THEN WE CAME BACK ON OCTOBER 28TH AND WENT THROUGH AND HEARD, UH, COMMENTS AND QUESTIONS, UM, WERE ADDRESSED FROM THE COUNCIL AT THAT TIME.

WE SENT THAT DRAFT OUT TO YOU, UM, BACK IN NOVEMBER.

AND WE RECEIVED AT THE TIME OF THIS POSTING SEVEN COMMENTS.

WE'VE SINCE RECEIVED ABOUT, UH, 30 ADDITIONAL COMMENTS.

UM, THEN WE'RE HERE TODAY TO HAVE THE WORK SESSION.

I'LL BE BACK IN JANUARY, UM, FOR OUR RECOMMENDATION.

UM, AND THEN WE'LL WORK THROUGH, OUR PLAN IS TO GO TO THE LAST COUNCIL MEETING IN JANUARY TO HOLD THAT PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN THE OVERALL PLAN ADOPTION.

SO YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF, WHAT IS A MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN? UM, THE, THE TRUE DEFINITION YOU CAN SEE, UM, UH, RIGHT IN THE SLIDE BEFORE YOU.

UM, BUT HONESTLY, IT IS AN OVERALL DOCUMENT THAT IS TO PROVIDE MOBILITY THROUGHOUT A COMMUNITY, WHETHER IT'S VEHICULAR, BICYCLE, PEDESTRIAN IN OUR TOWN.

WE EVEN HAVE TRANSIT, WHETHER IT BE THE LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM OR WHETHER IT BE THE BUS SYSTEM.

AND SO THAT HELPS US CONNECT THROUGH ALL THE DIFFERENT MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, UM, TO BE ABLE TO LIVE, WORK AND PLAY WITHIN THIS ENTIRE TOWN.

SOME HISTORY.

UM, BACK IN 1998, THERE WAS AN MTP PUT TOGETHER THAT SHOWED OVERALL CAPACITY AND CONNECTIVITY OF ROAD, UH, ROADWAYS.

UM, THOSE GOALS, UM, WERE THEN PUT FORWARD IN THE 2016 TEAM PLAN TO CONTINUE WITH CAPACITY AND CONNECTIVITY.

UM, COMPLETE STREETS IS KIND OF A BUZZWORD THAT'S BEEN USED, I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD IT BEFORE.

UM, AS YOU'RE LOOKING AT WHAT ALL NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY OF A ROADWAY, UM, LOOKING AT ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES AND THEN FILLING IN SOME SIDEWALK GAPS.

UM, THE 25 PLAN REALLY WAS TO TAKE EVERYTHING FROM 2016.

AND THE TERMINOLOGY WE'RE USING NOW IS CONTEXT SENSITIVE CROSS SECTIONS.

SO I'LL GO INTO A LITTLE BIT GREATER DETAIL ON THAT.

THAT'S SOMETHING WE WORKED HEAVILY WITH LESLIE AND COREY AND OTHERS.

UM, ALONG WITH, UM, OUR DIRECTOR OF PARKS AND RECREATION TO ENSURE, WE'RE REALLY LOOKING AT WHAT IS THE OVERALL ROADWAY CROSS SECTION, UM, LOOKING AT MAKING THOSE CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH THAT PEDESTRIAN TOOLBOX.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE A TRAFFIC CALL TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLBOX ALSO.

SO LOTS OF INTEGRATION, LOTS OF COORDINATION, UM, REALLY ACROSS ALL DEPARTMENTS.

UM, THE FIRST WAS THE PLAN REVIEW AND TRANS, UH, INTEGRATION OF THE TRANSPORTATION.

SO THAT STARTED WITH LOOKING AT THE 2016, UH, TRANSPORTATION PLAN,

[00:30:01]

THE UDC AND THE 2021 TRAILS PLAN.

AND LOOKING AND SEEING HOW LOCALLY AND REGIONALLY ALL OF THESE PLANS CAN HELP BUILD ON EACH OTHER.

YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE, BUT INDIVIDUAL CITIES HAVE A TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

THOSE TRANSPORTATION, TRANSPORTATION PLANS THEN FEED INTO COUNTY TRANSPORTATION PLANS THAT THEN FEED INTO OVERALL LARGE TRANSPORTATION PLANS WHERE I SIT ON THE SURFACE TECHNICAL OR TRANSPORTATION TECHNICAL COMMITTEE FOR THE COUNCIL OF GOVERNMENTS.

THERE'S AN OVERALL LARGER PLAN, UM, THAT ALL OF THESE PLANS FEED INTO.

SECONDLY IS COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

UM, THERE'S SURVEYS AND OPEN HOUSES THAT WERE HELD, FOCUS GROUPS, POP-UP EVENTS.

A LOT OF THAT WAS HELD THROUGH, UM, THE UDC PROCESS AS YOU'RE AWARE OF.

UM, WE'VE GOTTEN FEEDBACK FROM RESIDENTS, EMPLOYERS, COMMUNITY GROUPS, UM, AND THAT REALLY HELPED SHAPE OVERALL PRIORITIES FOR THE PLAN.

WE USED THE GUIDANCE THAT WAS RECEIVED FROM THE ADDISON, ADVANCED ADDISON 20, UH, 50 REALLY, WHICH REALLY GROUNDED KIND OF THE OVERALL TOWN'S VISION.

I KNOW YOU'RE ALL VERY FAMILIAR WITH THAT.

UM, ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT WALKABILITY, TRANSIT ACCESSIBILITY, AND THEN FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY.

SO EVERYTHING THAT WE BUILD, UM, WITHIN THE RIGHT OF WAY TURNS INTO THE TOWNS THAT WE THEN HAVE TO MAINTAIN.

UM, AND SO LOOKING AT HOW WE CAN MAINTAIN THOSE ASSETS.

UM, THE MULTIMODAL NETWORK, UM, PLANNING MULTIMODAL IS A HUGE BUZZ WORD THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY IN THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY.

BUT REALLY LOOKING AT HOW WE IMPROVE THAT CONNECTIVITY, MAKE IT SAFE AND COMFORTABLE FOR ALL USERS.

NOT EVERYONE DRIVES A VEHICLE.

NOT EVERYONE RIDES A BIKE AND NOT EVERYONE WALKS TO AND FROM, BUT HOW DO WE BLEND THOSE AND BUILD THOSE ALL TOGETHER AND PLAN THOSE TOGETHER.

THEN OF COURSE THE TRANSIT COORDINATION.

UM, THAT'S FROM THAT FIRST LAST MILE.

SO THERE'S A LOT OF CONVERSATION THAT HAPPENS THROUGHOUT THE TRANSPORTATION COMMUNITY ABOUT INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT RIDE THE SILVER LINE WHEN THEY GET THERE.

HOW ARE THEY GOING TO GET TO THE OTHER LOCATIONS THAT ARE SURROUNDING? WHAT ARE THEY COMING TO, UH, SEE WITHIN THE TOWN OF ADDISON OR OTHER TOWNS, UH, THAT HAVE THE DART SILVER LINE.

UM, AND THEN REALLY LOOKING AT ALSO THAT GAP BETWEEN IF, HOW CLOSE IS IT TO A BUS STOP LOCATION.

UM, AND SO THERE'S ADDITIONAL, UM, DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRANSIT COORDINATION THAT YOU HAVE TO DO LOTS OF DATA.

UM, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE WE HAVE A TRAFFIC COUNTS DASHBOARD ON THE PUBLIC WORKS AND ENGINEERING PAGE THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY GO ON AND LOOK AT TRAFFIC COUNTS, AND I'LL GO INTO THAT IN A LITTLE BIT GREATER DETAIL.

BUT LOOKING AT CRASH DATA, WHICH IS COLLECTED, UM, THROUGH THE CRISP SYSTEM, LOOKING AT TRAFFIC PATTERNS AND THEN OBVIOUSLY KIND OF LAND USE, WHICH IS WHERE IT AUTOMATICALLY, UM, GOES INTO THE ADDISON, ADVANCED ADDISON 2050.

AND THEN I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT IT, BUT THAT CROSS-DEPARTMENTAL COLLABORATION WAS KEY WITH THIS OVERALL DOCUMENT.

UM, I FEEL LIKE THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PRODUCE A DOCUMENT THAT REALLY SUPPORTS ALL UM, NEEDS FOR THE TOWN, LOOKING AT ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, LOOKING AT LAND USE, LOOKING AT PARKS INFRASTRUCTURE, AND ALSO BEING COGNIZANT OF THE TYPES OF DEVELOPMENT THAT WE SEE THROUGHOUT THE TOWN, BUT THEN ALSO THE DEVELOPMENT THAT'S CURRENTLY ONGOING AND HOW WE TAKE A PLAN AND MAKE IT WHERE IT CAN ACTUALLY BE IMPLEMENTED.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT.

UM, WE HELD, UM, AN OPEN HOUSE IN JULY OF 2025 AT THE STONE COTTAGE RIGHT NEXT DOOR.

UM, WE DID SEND OUT AND, AND HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR SURVEYS TO BE OUT FOR QUITE SOME TIME.

UM, WE WERE AT THE SPRINGTOWN HALL, YOU MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE SEEN US THERE, BUT AT THE SPRINGTOWN HALL WE ACTUALLY HAD SEVERAL DIFFERENT BOARDS THAT WERE INTERACTIVE WHERE PEOPLE COULD GO AND PUT DOTS ON THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PEDESTRIAN TOOLBOXES THEY'D LIKE TO SEE.

UM, THERE'S BASICALLY A TOOLBOX, JUST LIKE YOU WOULD THINK, HAS MANY DIFFERENT LITTLE ELEMENTS WE CAN PULL OUT OF IT TO LOOK AT DIFFERENT INTERSECTIONS.

UM, THE OVERALL TOWN MAP GAVE US AN OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO PUT DOTS WHERE THEY HAD CONCERNS OR THINGS THAT THEY THOUGHT NEEDED TO BE IMPROVED.

UM, AND THEN ALSO THE FEEDBACK THAT WAS RECEIVED DURING THE ADVANCED ADDISON 2050 UM, PROCESS, UM, HELPED ALSO THROUGH THAT OVERALL DOCUMENT.

SO YOU CAN SEE SOME COMMENTS THAT WERE RECEIVED.

UM, THE DART BOARD, THE DOT BOARD WAS VERY, UM, INTERESTING.

AND THEN OF COURSE THOSE SURVEYS, WE LEFT THAT SURVEY OPEN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO GIVE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY.

AND WE DIDN'T JUST ASK RESIDENTS.

WE ALSO ASKED IN INDIVIDUALS WHO COME HERE EVERY DAY, I THINK YOU ALL KNOW LOTS OF PEOPLE VISIT OUR TOWN EVERY DAY.

UM, IT'S VERY INTERESTING.

WE ACTUALLY HAVE THREE PEAKS OF TRAFFIC THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

IT'S NOT JUST THE TYPICAL MORNING AND EVENING PEAK.

WE HAVE THAT, UH, LUNCH HOUR PEAK AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THROUGH OUR TRAFFIC COUNTS.

SO IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO GET THEIR FEEDBACK.

SO THROUGH THE ENGAGEMENT SURVEYS, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY, UH, THOSE WHO, UH, PUT THE INFORMATION OUT THERE.

UM, THOUGHT MOST IMPORTANT TRANSPORTATION ISSUES LIE.

UM, OF COURSE PEDESTRIAN SAFETY WAS LISTED AS NUMBER ONE.

SOME FOLKS LOOKED AT TRAFFIC CONGESTION AND YOU CAN SEE, UH, THE LIST GO ON.

AND THEN

[00:35:01]

USE OF MODE.

MOST PEOPLE, UM, SAID THEY USED THEIR PERSONAL VEHICLE.

THERE WERE QUITE A FEW WHO SAID THEY WALKED.

UM, AND THEN OF COURSE THERE'S SOME THAT BY USE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

AND THESE ARE THE RESULTS OF THE PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY TOOK THE SURVEY.

SO WHAT GUIDANCE DID WE RECEIVE FROM THE ADDISON, UM, 2050 PLAN? REALLY OUR OVERALL GUIDANCE THAT WE WERE INTERESTED IN WAS LOOKING AT THE MOBILITY GOALS, HOW TO MAKE THE COMMUNITY WALKABLE, HAVE THAT CONNECTED STREET, UM, USING THAT COMPLETE STREET AND CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN, LOOKING AT THE OVERALL TOD RECOMMENDATIONS TO IMPLEMENT, UM, WHAT IS A NEW, UM, CROSS SECTION AND MAKE SAFER, UH, CROSSINGS TO SUPPORT ADDISON.

UM, THE ADDISON CIRCLE AREA AND THE URBAN CENTER DESIGNATION.

UM, AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S VERY CLOSE TO THIS LOCATION, FUTURE LAND USE, LOOKING AT CROSS SECTIONS AND STANDARDS, UM, TO REDEVELOP WHERE SIDEWALKS ARE REQUIRED AND RIGHT SIZING THOSE STREETS FOR NEW PROJECTS.

A LOT OF THE COMMUNITY, YOU'LL SEE THAT SIDEWALKS ARE ABUTTING RIGHT UP NEXT TO THE CURB, BUT A LOT OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THROUGH THIS CONTEXT SENSITIVE DESIGN IS WHERE DO SIDEWALKS REALLY BELONG? HOW DO WE MAKE PEOPLE FEEL COMFORTABLE? HOW CAN WE GET PEOPLE TO USE THE OVERALL SIDEWALK AND MAKE IT MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING? AND THEN THAT COMMUNITY OUTREACH WAS CRITICAL.

UM, GETTING THAT STRONG SUPPORT, UM, FROM THE COMMUNITY AND MANY AREAS FOR SLOWER SPEEDS AND SAFER CROSSING AREAS, UM, WHICH THEN TURNS INTO PROJECTS FROM THIS OVERALL PLAN.

SO I TALKED ABOUT DATA.

UM, LOTS OF INFORMATION WAS COLLECTED, DAILY TRAFFIC VOLUMES WERE COLLECTED.

THAT'S WHAT YOU CAN SEE ON OUR DASHBOARD.

UM, YOU CAN SEE THE OVERALL TRAFFIC VOLUME GROWTH RATES.

THERE ARE TRAFFIC VOLUMES THAT INCREASE AND THERE ARE TRAFFIC VOLUMES THAT DECREASE THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE DOCUMENT.

UM, WE HAVE EXISTING LEVEL OF SERVICE ON THERE, UM, THAT THE TOWN HAS.

SO LEVEL OF SERVICE IS A THROUGH F AND SO YOU CAN SEE THOSE THINGS THAT WE ACTUALLY COLLECTED.

CRASH HEAT MAPS, UM, PEDESTRIAN TRIPS THAT WERE TAKEN, BICYCLE TRIPS THAT WERE TAKEN.

UM, LOOKING AT ROADWAY CHARACTERISTICS.

SO IS IT A TWO LANE? IS IT A FOUR LANE? IS IT A SIX LANE? WHAT'S THE SPEED LIMIT ASSOCIATED WITH THAT? AND WHAT IS THE OVERALL ROADWAY, UH, CLASSIFICATION.

AND THEN THAT, LIKE I TALKED ABOUT THAT FIRST LAST MILE, THAT TRANSIT CONNECTIVITY.

SO LOOKING AT HOW INDIVIDUALS WILL GO FROM THE SILVER LINE OR A BUS STATION BIKE THERE, WALK THERE AND USE THOSE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRANSIT, UM, SERVICES THAT ARE AVAILABLE.

SO TRAFFIC VOLUMES, UM, THAT DASHBOARD IS AN EXCELLENT RESOURCE.

I KNOW, UM, LESLIE AND HER TEAM, UH, GIVE IT OFTEN TO DEVELOPERS AS THEY COME THROUGH THE COMMUNITY TOO WHEN THEY'RE LOOKING AT DOING A TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS.

SO THEY HAVE AT LEAST A, A, UH, SOMETHING TO MEASURE BY.

UM, IT'S A PUBLIC FACING TOOL.

IT LOOKS AT OVERALL TRAFFIC VOLUMES, TURNING MOVEMENTS.

UM, IT'S ON 90 PLUS STREET SEGMENTS AND 37 INTERSECTIONS.

WE HAVE 37 INTERSECTIONS WITH 37 SIGNALS THROUGHOUT THE TOWN.

UM, AND THAT HELPS SUPPORT THOSE DATA-DRIVEN DECISIONS.

SO WE CAN SEE AT A PERIOD OF TIME DURING THE DAY, ARE INDIVIDUALS TURNING RIGHT? ARE THEY GOING STRAIGHT, ARE THEY TURNING LEFT? WHERE ARE THE CARS QUEUING? WHERE ARE WE SEEING THE STACKING? UM, WHERE ARE WE SEEING MOVEMENT THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE? SO THERE'S A RISE IN THE TRAFFIC COUNT OR A DECLINE IN THE TRAFFIC COUNT.

THAT'S WHAT WE DO IS TO ANALYZE THOSE.

UM, SOME OF THE MAJOR ARTERIALS THAT WE LOOK AT ARE BELTLINE, OF WHICH WE OWN EVERYTHING WEST OF THE UM, DNT.

UM, LOOK AT MARSH LANE.

MARSH IS VERY INTERESTING.

WE OWN SOME OF THE NORTHBOUND LANES UNTIL A CERTAIN INTERSECTION AND THEN WE OWN THE ENTIRE MARSH FOR A SHORT STRETCH.

UM, AND THEN MIDWAY, MIDWAY BEING THAT IT WAS UNDER CONSTRUCTION DURING THE TRAFFIC COUNTS, UM, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT YOU TYPICALLY COUNT, UM, DURING OBVIOUSLY CONSTRUCTION 'CAUSE IT'S NOT GONNA BE A TYPICAL PATTERN, BUT LOOKING AT THE SURROUNDING AREA TO SEE WHAT ARE THE TRAFFIC COUNTS AND MORE PEOPLE USING OTHER WAYS TO GET AROUND TOWN.

AND WE DID SEE THAT HAPPEN.

UM, THE GOOD THING WAS IN, IN MANY OF THOSE AREAS IS IF INDIVIDUALS WEREN'T TAKING MIDWAY AND MAYBE THEY MOVED OVER TO SURVEYOR, THEY WERE THEN DISPERSING ONTO BELTLINE AND NOT CONTINUING SOUTH AND GOING INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS AND TAKING TRAFFIC THROUGH THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT ON THE DASHBOARD.

AND THEN IT HELPS US FORECAST FUTURE TRENDS, UM, WITH REDEVELOPMENT, UM, AND LOOK AT WHAT THAT OVERALL GROWTH IS, UM, EXPECTED TO BE.

UM, IT HELPS US TO SHIFT FROM SHORT LOCAL TRIPS, FROM DRIVING TO WALKING TO HELP EASING CONGESTION.

UM, AND, AND IT HELPS US WITHOUT LOOKING AT, UM, COSTLY ROADWAY EXPANSIONS.

UM, SO THE DASHBOARD IS REALLY COOL.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GO ON AND LOOK AT IT.

I OBVIOUSLY GEEK OUT OVER STUFF LIKE THIS, BUT UH, I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO TAKE

[00:40:01]

THE CHANCE TO LOOK AT IT.

UM, YOU CAN SEE OBVIOUSLY FROM THIS GRAPH, BELTLINE ROAD IS THE, UM, HIGHEST ROADWAY OF VEHICLES TRAVELED PER DAY, UM, THAN WITH MARSH AND MIDWAY.

UM, AND THEN ALL THE WAY TO KELLER SPRINGS.

OBVIOUSLY KELLER SPRINGS IS IN A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT CONDITION RIGHT NOW SINCE IT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION, BUT IT'S INTERESTING TO SEE THE, THE TRAVEL MOVEMENTS THROUGH THOSE AREAS.

SO LEVEL OF SERVICE, I MENTIONED THIS EARLIER.

UM, THE TOWN OF ADDISON'S POLICIES ALLOW A LEVEL OF SERVICE A, UH, D OR BETTER.

UM, AND SO THROUGHOUT THE TOWN YOU CAN SEE ON THIS MAP WE HAVE DIFFERENT LEVELS OF SERVICE THAT ARE ACTUALLY CALCULATED.

UM, AND WHEN YOU GET TO D THAT MEANS THEY'RE STABLE FLOW.

WHEN YOU START GETTING LOWER, LIKE E AND F THAT MEANS PEOPLE ARE GOING SLOWER.

THEY'RE NOT MOVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AS FAST OR MAYBE GOING THROUGH THE ROADWAY AS FAST.

WE HAVE A FEW AREAS THAT ARE LIKE THAT.

OBVIOUSLY WHEN YOU GET REALLY CLOSE ON BELTLINE TO THE DNT, WE ALL KNOW THAT IT BACKS UP FROM THE DNT IF YOU'RE HEADED EASTBOUND.

UM, WHETHER PEOPLE ARE DISPERSING AND GOING NORTH SOUTH OR CONTINUING, UH, EASTBOUND.

UM, YOU ALSO SEE THAT SOME ON MARSH LANE.

UM, AS YOU MIGHT GUESS, WEST GROVE IS A VERY BUSY ROADWAY.

SO YOU CAN SEE THERE'S QUITE A FEW CARS THAT TRAVEL THAT AREA.

UM, BUT OVERALL THE CORE CORRIDORS THAT ARE OPERATING THAT'LL AT A LEVEL OF SERVICE, E OR F, UM, THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT TO EVALUATE FOR, UM, STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE THE ROADWAY.

SOMETIMES THAT'S DONE THROUGH SIGNAL ADJUSTMENTS.

UM, SOMETIMES THAT'S DONE THROUGH TURNING LANE MODIFICATIONS, GIVING A FREE LANE FOR A RIGHT TURN INSTEAD OF INDIVIDUALS HAVING TO QUEUE THAT MIGHT GO STRAIGHT AND RIGHT WITHIN THE SAME LANE.

UM, OR EVEN ROADWAY CONFIGURATIONS AT TIMES.

I KNOW THAT'S SOMETHING ON WEST GROVE SPECIFICALLY WE'RE LOOKING AT, UM, DUE TO THE SPEED AND THEN THE TRAFFIC PATTERN THAT WE HAVE IN THAT AREA.

SO CROSS SECTIONS ARE A VERY INTERESTING THING.

EVERY MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN HAS A LOT OF DIFFERENT CROSS SECTION.

UM, IT'S SOMETHING OBVIOUSLY THAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT EVERY TIME YOU SEE A PROJECT THAT COMES THROUGH THIS PROCESS.

UM, AND WE HAVE, UM, SEVERAL DIFFERENT ROADWAY CROSS SECTIONS.

UM, THE OVERALL GOAL, UM, OBVIOUSLY AS YOU KNOW, IS, UM, YOU'RE INCREASING MOBILITY AS, AS YOU SEE ON THE GRAPH AND INCREASING ACCESS AS YOU SEE THROUGH, UM, AS YOU MOVE TO THE, THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE GRAPH.

SO LOTS OF DIFFERENT PRINCIPAL ARTERIAL, MINOR ARTERIAL, URBAN COLLECTOR, RESIDENTIAL COLLECTOR, URBAN LOCAL, AND RESIDENTIAL LOCAL.

SO I'M GONNA GO THROUGH, UM, AND JUST KIND OF BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT WHAT THOSE GOALS ARE.

SO WE WANT THEM TO INCREASE FLEXIBILITY, WHICH ALLOWS US CROSS SECTIONS THAT, UM, CAN HELP US DELIVER MORE COST EFFECTIVE ROADWAY MODERNIZATIONS, WHICH WILL HELP WITH THAT CONTEXT AND AVAILABLE RIGHT AWAY.

SO LET ME TELL YOU WHAT THAT MEANS IN MY MIND.

UM, THAT MEANS THAT WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WHATEVER ROADWAY IS GOING TO BE PUT, UM, TO PLAY, WHETHER IT BE THROUGH A DEVELOPMENT, WHETHER THAT BE THROUGH, UM, A PROJECT THAT COMES UP THAT IS A CAPITAL PROJECT, WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT THAT CROSS SECTION MEETS THE NEED OF THE INDIVIDUALS IN THAT AREA.

SO IS IT A CROSS SECTION THAT NEEDS TO BE FLEXIBLE? AND WHEN YOU PUT REALLY HARD FAST RULES IN A DOCUMENT AND SAYS, THOU SHALT DO X AND YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A RIGHT OF WAY THAT'S THIS WIDE AND YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A STREET LANE THAT'S THIS WIDE AND YOU CAN ONLY HAVE A SIDEWALK THAT'S THIS WIDE AND MAKES IT A REALLY HARD PROCESS TO GO THROUGH.

'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF VARIANCES I HAVE TO REVIEW AND WORK WITH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES ON.

SO WHAT WE PREFER TO DO IS GIVE RANGES.

SO THAT IS GIVES US MORE FLEXIBILITY.

IT ALSO ALLOWS FOR MORE FLEXIBILITY WITH A PARKWAY OR, UM, LIKE I MENTIONED THE SIDEWALK.

UM, IT ALSO HELPS US GIVE DEVELOPERS, UM, AND HOLD THEM, GIVE THEM A CLEAR GUIDANCE, RIGHT? AND THEN HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE BECAUSE IT, IT GIVES US CLEAR ENFORCEABLE STANDARDS.

UM, SO THAT HELPS ALSO WITH THEM BUILDING THEIR PORTION OF THE ROADWAY AS THEY COME THROUGH WITH A DEVELOPMENT PROJECT.

AND THEN REALLY WE WANNA MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF OUR PROJECTS ARE MEETING THOSE DESIGN CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS, UM, TO MAKE SURE WE'RE HAVING WALKABILITY AS A KEY FOCUS WITH SAFETY AND THEN A QUALITY DESIGN.

SO SOMETHING I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS OVERALL, UM, PLAN BECAUSE IT DID GIVE US A NEW FLEXIBILITY WITH THE RANGES.

UM, INSTEAD OF SAYING EVERY LANE SHALL BE 12 FEET WIDE, THERE ARE AREAS WHERE WE ONLY NEED A 10 FOOT WIDE LANE AROUND AN 11 FOOT WIDE LANE.

AND THERE ARE MANY AREAS WHERE WE MIGHT WANT A FIVE FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK ON ONE SIDE, BUT A 10 FOOT WIDE SIDEWALK ON THE OTHER, WE DON'T NEED 10 FOOT ON BOTH SIDES.

THOSE ARE THINGS THAT WE'VE GOTTA BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT AND HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO GO THROUGH THE DESIGN PROCESS.

UM, AND THROUGH THIS DOCUMENT WE'RE ABLE TO DO SO.

UM, IT ALLOWS

[00:45:01]

US TO KIND OF ADAPT TO THAT OVERALL CON UH, CONTEXT.

UM, RIGHT SIZE ROADWAYS IS KIND OF A KEY TERM, UM, THAT WE TALK ABOUT, BUT RIGHT SIZING FOR THE AREA, WHAT IS THE, WHAT IS THE AREA'S NEEDS? IS THIS AN AREA WITH A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT TOWN HOMES WITH CONDOS? ARE THE INDIVIDUALS IN A A SENIOR LIVING FACILITY, IS THIS A NEIGHBORHOOD OR IS THIS AN AREA WHERE THERE'S GONNA BE A LOT OF BUSINESSES, RESTAURANTS, ET CETERA.

IT HELPS US KIND OF STREAMLINE THAT DELIVERY TO COORDINATE WITH DEVELOPERS AND GIVE THEM CLEAR EXPECTATIONS.

UM, I MENTIONED THESE BENEFITS, BUT REALLY TO ALLOW US TO IMPLEMENT LARGE SCALE ROADWAY UPDATES WITHOUT EXCESSIVE RIGHT OF WAY.

UM, ACQUISITION.

UM, THE TOWN WAS WORKING THROUGH SEVERAL PROJECTS BEFORE I GOT HERE AND HAS, UH, DELIVERED SEVERAL PROJECTS WHERE WE WERE GETTING SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT OF RIDE AWAY.

THAT'S NOT ALWAYS, UM, THE BEST WAY TO DO A PROJECT.

IT'S NOT A WRONG WAY TO DO A PROJECT, BUT IT CAN BE AN EXPENSIVE WAY TO DO A PROJECT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU'RE TAKING PEOPLE'S PARKING LOTS, YOU'RE TAKING THEIR TREES.

AND SO IF WE CAN GIVE OURSELVES THE FLEXIBILITY TO LOOK THROUGH AN OVERALL CROSS SECTION, FOR EXAMPLE, KELLER SPRINGS OR AIRPORT PARKWAY AND SEE IF THERE'S WAYS THAT WE CAN FLEX OR BEND WITHIN, UM, THE OVERALL CROSS SECTION, THEN WE CAN ALSO HELP, UM, THE TOWN BY NOT EXPENDING THOSE LARGE RIGHT AWAY COSTS.

UM, AND THEN IT PROVIDES CONSISTENCY.

UM, I'M ALL ABOUT BEING CONSISTENT.

WE WANT TO TREAT EVERYONE WITH THE SAME FAIR STANDARD AND ROLES, UM, NOT ONLY FROM A DEVELOPMENT STANDPOINT, BUT FROM A CAPITAL STANDPOINT.

AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE DESIGNING PROJECTS FOR US, WHETHER THEY'RE DOING IT FOR A DEVELOPER OR WHETHER THEY'RE DOING IT FOR OUR TOWN, UM, THROUGH A CAPITAL PROGRAM OR A BOND PROGRAM, THEY LIKE TO HAVE CONSISTENCY TOO BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO EXPECT WHEN THEY COME TO WORK AT ADDISON.

SO THIS OVERALL THOROUGH BEAR PLAN, UM, IT'S REALLY THAT, THAT GRAPHIC, THAT DOCUMENT THAT HELPS US UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT TYPE OF ROADWAY NEEDS TO BE IN WHAT AREA.

UM, THIS SHOWS THE MAJOR ADDISON STREETS.

IT DOES NOT SHOW THE RESIDENTIAL STREETS AND IT DESIGNATES A CLASSIFICATION AND A CROSS SECTION.

AND THERE'S MORE DETAIL OBVIOUSLY IN THE PLAN.

UM, THE NEW CLASSIFICATION THAT WE INTRODUCED WAS THIS URBAN LOCAL URBAN COLLECTOR, WHICH ALLOWED FOR BETTER WALKABILITY AND THEN ALSO MI UH, MIXED USE CAN BE IN THIS AREA.

SO WE THOUGHT THIS WAS A NEW THING WE REALLY SHOULD BE LOOKING AT TO ALLOW FOR AREAS WHERE INSTEAD OF HAVING REALLY STRICT RULES, THIS IS IN AN URBAN SETTING, BUT WE WANT TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE SIDEWALK TO HAVE THE PARKWAY.

UM, AND SO THAT'S A NEW CLASSIFICATION THAT WE CAME UP WITH THAT IS A BLEND OF SOMETHING THAT WE HADN'T HAD BEFORE.

UM, WHAT WE WILL DO THROUGH THIS PROCESS IS THEN MAKE SURE ALL OF OUR DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS ARE UPDATED.

I MEAN, AS I MENTIONED, THOSE THINGS ARE THE SAME THINGS WE GIVE TO ENGINEERS THAT ARE DESIGNING PROJECTS, WHETHER IT BE THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS OR THROUGH THE CAPITAL OR BOND PROGRAMS. UM, AND THEN IT HELPS US ALSO IDENTIFY THOSE FUTURE ROADWAY NETWORKS THAT NEED TO BE CONSTRUCTED TO HELP IMPROVE THAT CIRCULATION AND SUPPORT THE REDEVELOPMENT.

SO I KNOW THE MAP IS PROBABLY PRETTY SMALL ON YOUR SCREEN, BUT YOU CAN SEE THE DIFFERENT ROADWAYS AND THERE'S ONLY A FEW, UM, THAT ARE CONSIDERED, UM, URBAN LOCAL.

AND YOU'LL SEE THOSE IN THE, THE BLACK COLOR, UM, LOTS OF RESIDENTIAL STREETS.

UM, URBAN COLLECTOR IS THE, THE BLUE THAT WE'VE ADDED IN THE AREA.

DON'T BE CONFUSED WITH THE BLUE ADDISON TOWN LIMIT LINE.

UM, AND THIS IS OBVIOUSLY NOT UPDATED TO SHOW THE MONTFORD EXTENSION YET, UM, BUT EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROCESS.

SO AN ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN, ITS OVERALL GOAL IS TO INCORPORATE THE TRAILS MASTER PLAN.

UM, THE RECENT UPDATES YOU'VE SEEN, UM, THROUGH MIDWAY ON THE SHARED USE PASS AND THE VITRUVIAN CONNECTIONS.

UM, THOSE HELP BRING THE BICYCLE AND THE TRAIL PROJECTS THROUGH THAT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

IT ALLOWS FOR THE PARKS, UH, TRAILS MASTER PLAN.

THAT'S THAT LONG RANGE VISIONING PLAN.

IT HELPS US USE THAT AS A DOCUMENT THAT WE CAN MAKE.

NOW THE WALKABLE BIKEABLE COMMUNITY, UM, OBVIOUSLY NOT ALL PROJECTS HAVE IMMEDIATE PRIORITIES, UM, BUT IT DOES HAVE PRIORITIES, PROJECTS OUTLINED THAT THEY BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE DOING.

UM, AND THOSE ARE ONES THAT WE WORKED ON COORDINATING WITH THE PARKS, UM, THE UH, PARKS DEPARTMENT AND HELPED FACILITATE THOSE BY ADDING THESE TO THE OVERALL TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

SO KEEP IN MIND WE'VE GOT A ROADWAY OVERALL PLAN, BUT WE JUST TALKED ABOUT THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN.

THE ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN IS REALLY THAT TRAILS PLAN.

UM, AND THEN THROUGH THAT TRAILS PLAN WE WANNA LOOK AT THE PEDESTRIAN TOOLBOX.

AND THIS IS WHAT I MENTIONED TO YOU WAS THE KEY THING THAT I HEARD THE FIRST COUNCIL MEETING I CAME TO THAT I REALLY THOUGHT WAS SOMETHING WE COULD ADD.

UM, I WILL TELL YOU ONLY TWO OTHER CITIES IN TEXAS HAVE IT RIGHT

[00:50:01]

NOW.

UM, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I WENT TO OUR CONSULTANT AND SAID, I KNOW WE CAN DO THIS.

THERE'S NO REASON WHY NOT TO DO THIS.

I NEED SOMETHING WHEN INDIVIDUALS COME THROUGH OR WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT I CAN GO INTO THE TOOLBOX AND I CAN PULL THESE SIMPLE TOOLS OUT TO HELP IMPROVE THESE CROSSINGS, WHETHER THEY'RE IN RESIDENTIAL AREAS, WHETHER IT'S TRYING TO CROSS ADDISON ROAD, HOW CAN WE MAKE THESE THINGS HAPPEN? AND SO THIS TOOLBOX SHOWS SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS.

THERE'S 37 COUNTERMEASURES THAT ARE ACTUALLY THROUGH THE FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION.

THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT'S IN THE OVERALL TOOLBOX.

UM, YOU'LL KNOW THERE'S PEDESTRIAN HYBRID BEACONS YOU'VE SEEN THROUGH TOWN BEFORE.

THE LPI IS A LEADING PEDESTRIAN INTERVAL THAT'S ACTUALLY ON ONE OF OUR 37 SIGNALS OR SEVERAL OF OUR 37 SIGNALS WHERE IT GIVES ADDITIONAL SECONDS FOR A PEDESTRIAN TO BEGIN WALKING BEFORE THE SIGNAL ACTUALLY, UM, STARTS FOR THE CARS.

UM, YOU CAN SEE THE PEDESTRIAN COUNTDOWN, UM, CURB EXTENSIONS OR SOME PEOPLE CALL THOSE BULL BOUTS.

GIVE A LI LITTLE ADDITIONAL REFUGE FOR PEDESTRIANS BEFORE THEY CROSS THE STREET.

UM, SIDEWALKS, CROSSING ISLANDS, MIDBLOCK CROSSINGS, THERE'S ONE ON.

SO, AND THE ONLY THING THAT COUNSEL GAVE US, AND I'M GONNA TELL YOU A COUPLE OF THINGS COUNSEL GAVE US DURING OUR COMMENT SESSION WITH THEM IN OCTOBER.

ONE OF THE THINGS THEY GAVE US HERE WAS TO ADD LIGHTING TO THE TOOLBOX.

NOT ALL OF THE ITEMS ARE SHOWN ON THIS SLIDE AND LIGHTING IS ALREADY IN THE TOOLBOX.

UM, BUT DEFINITELY LIGHTING IS SOMETHING THAT'S CRITICAL WHEN YOU'RE CROSSING AN INTERSECTION OR WORK WALKING IN AN AREA SUCH AS SOME OF THE RESIDENTIAL, UH, CROSSINGS THAT WE HAVE THAT ARE THROUGHOUT A NEIGHBORHOOD, JUST BEING ABLE TO SEE WHAT, UM, IS HAPPENING IN THAT AREA AT NIGHT.

AS WE KNOW IN THE FALL IT GETS DARK, WHAT ABOUT 5 45 6? AND SO SOME PEOPLE AREN'T EVEN STARTING THEIR WALK AFTER DINNER OR WHATEVER THEIR CASE MAY BE.

SO HAVING THAT LIGHTING IS A NICE FEATURE.

UM, STAFF IS CURRENTLY WORKING ON UPDATING THIS AND, AND ADDING SOME ADDITIONAL ELEMENTS.

BUT THIS IS A 41 STARRED MAP THAT SHOWS TAKING THOSE LITTLE CIRCLES THAT YOU SAW BEFORE AND IMPLEMENTING THESE IN ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS.

AND SO BASICALLY THIS IS THE GUIDELINE THAT WE'RE WORKING THROUGH TO SAY THESE ARE THE IMPROVEMENTS WE THINK NEED TO BE MADE THROUGHOUT TOWN.

AND MOST OF THESE ARE ON OUR MAJOR ROADWAYS, BUT WE HAVE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM COUNCIL ON SOME OTHER AREAS THAT ARE NOT ON OUR MAJOR ROADWAYS THAT ARE ACTUALLY IN SOME RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

AND WE HAVE THOSE ALSO ON A LIST.

UM, BUT THESE, BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE THOROUGHFARE PLAN WORKS THROUGH THE PROCESS, THESE ARE REALLY ALL ON OUR MAJOR ROADWAYS.

AND I'M EXCITED ABOUT THIS BECAUSE THEN IT GIVES US A PRIORITY LIST.

IT GIVES US AN ORDER OF WHICH, AND THESE ARE NOT IN ORDER RANKING BY THE WAY AT THIS TIME, BUT IT GIVES US A PRIORITY LIST AND HOW WE CAN MOVE FORWARD WITH MAKING THESE INCREMENTAL CHANGES THAT HELP IMPROVE SAFETY.

THE TRAFFIC CALMING TOOLBOX.

I TALKED A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS.

UM, REALLY THE OVERALL GOAL IS TO HELP LOOK AT SPEED, HOW WE CAN MAKE DIFFERENT DELINEATION THROUGH OVERALL ROADWAYS.

LOOK AT INTERSECTION TOOLS.

UM, SPEED MANAGEMENT IS NOT VERY DIFFICULT REALLY IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT.

ONE OF THE SIGNS THAT'S OUT HERE ON QUORUM THAT GIVES YOU THAT DRIVER FEEDBACK, THAT TELLS YOU HOW FAST YOU'RE GOING, THAT'S A SPEED MANAGEMENT TOOL.

OTHER THINGS THAT ARE DONE ARE RAISED INTERSECTIONS.

SO THROUGHOUT THE INTERSECTION YOU MAY SEE IT RAISED, UM, ROADWAY DELINEATION.

THOSE ARE MARKINGS DIVIDERS, UM, THOSE TYPES OF THINGS.

YOU SEE INTERSECTION TOOLS, ROUNDABOUTS, JUST LIKE ADDISON CIRCLE, CURB EXTENSIONS I JUST SHOWED YOU IN STREET CROSSWALKS.

UM, PEDESTRIAN REFUGE ISLANDS.

SO SOMETIMES THE ROADWAY'S WIDE ENOUGH THAT YOU NEED PEDESTRIANS TO BE ABLE TO GET TO THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO STOP SO THAT THEN CARS CAN CLEAR BEFORE THEY CAN GET TO THE NEXT SIDE OF THE ROADWAY.

WE DON'T HAVE A WHOLE LOT OF THOSE HERE, BUT THERE ARE A FEW AREAS WHERE, UM, THAT DEFINITELY, UH, BECOMES AN ISSUE.

AND THEN ALSO LOOKING AT DIFFERENT WAYS WE CAN ENHANCE THE PAVEMENT, WHETHER IT'S TEXTURIZED PAVEMENT OR IF WE WANT TO DO STREET TREES TO MAKE IT A MORE, UM, APPEALING WALK, LANDSCAPING, UM, IN TREATMENTS WHICH THAT OVERALL IS HELPING MAKE SURE THAT PEOPLE FEEL SAFE, WANNA LIVE IN THAT AREA AND BE ABLE TO BE MOBILE IN THAT AREA.

AND THEN OF COURSE HELP THAT.

UM, OVERALL HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT.

SO WE LOOKED AND DID A SPEED LIMIT EVALUATION.

THERE'S A LOT OF STATISTICS OUT THERE ABOUT SPEEDS AND IF SOMEONE'S TRAVELING AT THIS SPEED, THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS.

UM, WHAT WE DID, AND TYPICALLY WHAT ENGINEERS DO IS USE THE 85TH PERCENTILE OF SPEED.

THAT MEANS THAT 85% OF THE PEOPLE ARE DRIVING THAT SPEED.

SO THAT IS AN AVERAGE THAT.

SO YOU CAN SEE WE LOOKED AT WEST GROVE QUORUM, ARAPAHOE, ADDISON ROAD, UM,

[00:55:01]

AND YOU CAN SEE THAT 37 MILES PER HOUR, JUST FOR EXAMPLE ON WEST GROVE WHERE THE POSTED SPEED LIMIT IS 40 MILES PER HOUR.

SO WHAT WE'RE REALLY WANTING TO DO IS USE ENGINEERING JUDGMENT INSTEAD OF JUST 85TH PERCENTILE.

AND THE NEW, UM, TEXAS MUNI, UM, MANUAL ON UNIFORM TRAFFIC, UH, DEVICES, WHICH IS THE T-M-U-T-C-D, UM, IT JUST CAME OUT AND IT ACTUALLY ALLOWS ENGINEERS TO HAVE MORE JUDGMENT ON ROADWAY SPEED INSTEAD OF JUST USING THE 85TH PERCENTILE, WHICH WAS WHAT WAS THE HARD FAST RULE.

SO THAT GIVES US SOME FLEXIBILITY.

WE CAN LOOK AT SPEED DATA AND THEN MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS.

AND SO WE ACTUALLY DID THAT ON THE NEXT SLIDE.

UM, WE LOOKED AT WEST GROVE ADDISON ROAD, KELLER SPRINGS AIRPORT PARKWAY, ARAPAHOE, QUORUM SPECTRUM, AND THEN ADDISON CIRCLE, I THINK YOU'RE ALL AWARE ON QUORUM, WE'VE ALREADY LOWERED THE SPEED LIMIT TO 25 MILES PER HOUR.

UM, SOME OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS BECAUSE OF THE 85TH PERCENTILE WERE TO LOWER THE SPEEDS.

UM, AND YOU CAN SEE IN MANY OF THESE WE'RE LOOKING AT LOWERING THE SPEEDS OF THESE ROADWAYS.

COUNSEL DID DIRECT STAFF TO LEAVE ADDISON ROAD AND ARAPAHO BOTH AT 40 MILES PER HOUR AND NOT LOWER THEM TO 35 MILES PER HOUR.

AND SO THAT IS THE PATH THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD ON THIS MAP, JUST ASSOCIATES WITH THE OVERALL PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS.

UM, AND THE MAP WILL BE UPDATED TO REFLECT COUNSEL'S COMMENTS.

AND WITH THAT, I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.

I KNOW THAT'S A LOT IN A VERY DETAILED REPORT.

UM, BUT THANK YOU ALL FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DID SUBMIT, UH, CON COMMENTS THROUGH CONVEO, I HAVE ALL OF THOSE.

UM, I'VE EVALUATED 'EM, I'VE ADDRESSED SOME OF THEM, UM, JUST THROUGH NOTES AT THIS POINT.

BUT WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU IN JANUARY, WE'LL HAVE THAT DOCUMENT COMPLETELY, UH, UPDATED WITH YOUR COMMENTS WE'VE RECEIVED.

SO I KEPT MY QUESTIONS IF I COULDN'T, I COMMENTED WHAT I COULD IN YOUR SYSTEM, BUT THESE ARE MORE PROBABLY CONVERSATIONAL QUESTIONS.

SO SURE.

GIVEN THAT COVID WAS IN 2020, DOES IT SEEM LOGICAL THAT IT'S INCLUDED AND DID IT MESS UP THE SKU STATS ON A LOT OF THESE THINGS? LIKE TO ME, I THINK YOUR ROAD COUNTS AND ALL THAT AND THAT WOULD'VE BEEN, PEOPLE WERE AT HOME, THEY WEREN'T GOING TO, THEY WERE NOT NORMAL TRAFFIC PATTERNS.

SO, UM, WE STILL LIKE TO USE THAT AS A BASELINE OF A YEAR JUST TO BE ABLE TO HAVE THAT DATA.

UM, THERE WERE TIMES WHERE PEOPLE WERE STILL USING THE ROADWAY NETWORK, BELIEVE IT OR NOT.

THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE AT HOME, BUT THERE WERE STILL FIRST RESPONDERS AND OTHER INDIVIDUALS.

SO 2020 IS STILL A NUMBER THAT IS USED THROUGHOUT THE DATA.

UM, BUT THE OVERALL COUNTS THAT WE WOULD ASSOCIATE WITH ARE THE MOST RECENT COUNTS THAT WE COLLECTED.

'CAUSE I, I STILL WOULD ARGUE THAT TRAFFIC PATTERNS WERE DIFFERENT DURING THAT TIMEFRAME.

AND I DON'T DISAGREE WITH YOU, IT'S JUST A BENCH MARK.

UM, IF BELTLINE HAS HIGH TRAFFIC COUNT, HOW COULD, LET ME BACK UP.

I, I SAT ON THE ADDISON 2050.

AND THERE WAS THIS BIG CONVERSATION ABOUT TRYING TO EITHER POTENTIALLY ELIMINATE A LINE A LAYING ON BELTLINE ROAD OR LIKE LOWERING SPEED LIMITS.

HOW DOES THAT WORK? BASED ON WHAT, FROM WHAT I TOOK ON THIS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE SUCH HIGH TRAFFIC COUNT ON THERE.

HOW COULD YOU CONSIDER EVEN REDUCING A LANE ON BELTLINE RED? I DON'T BELIEVE AT THIS TIME THAT THAT WOULD BE A RECOMMENDATION WE WOULD MAKE BASED ON THE TRAFFIC COUNTS.

I WAS NOT A PART OF THAT CONVERSATION, BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVE AT THIS TIME THAT IT'S JUST A SUCH A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE FOR THIS TOWN THAT I, I DON'T SEE HOW YOU GET AROUND THAT.

NEXT, UM, IN YOUR PEDESTRIAN AND BIKE SESSION SECTION MM-HMM .

UH, THERE WAS A LOT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT A TRAIL SYSTEM ALONG QUORUM.

AND FIVE FOOT ON THE OTHER.

AND I BELIEVE THAT'S A TRAIL THAT WAS LINKED INTO OTHER CITIES AROUND US.

COUNCIL MADE SOME BIG DECISION A COUPLE MONTHS AGO ABOUT ELIMINATING, I COULDN'T TELL FROM YOUR REPORT.

YOU DIDN'T REALLY DIVIDE YOUR, IT'S TWO DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND I THINK THEY ELIMINATED THE SOUTHERN ONE AND THE NORTHERN ONE'S STILL GOING ON OFF OF QUORUM.

AND, AND I COULDN'T TELL FROM YOUR REPORT HOW YOUR REPORT READ YOURS JUST KINDA READ AS QUORUM.

LIKE HOW DOES THAT AFFECT YOUR WORLD? , SO QUORUM NORTH OF THE DART RAIL, THE BIKE LANES WERE COMPLETELY REMOVED.

UM, AND THE OVERALL TRAIL SYSTEM OR SIDEWALK SYSTEM, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS AT THIS TIME.

WE ARE LOOKING AT IT AND EVALUATING THROUGH THE OVERALL CAPITAL PLAN, UM, THE BRICK PAVERS AND DOING AN ASSESSMENT OF THAT.

THAT WAS SOMETHING THAT WAS ADOPTED IN THE BUDGET ALONG WITH TREE WELLS SOUTH OF DART, UH, LIGHT RAIL SYSTEM ALL THE WAY TO WHERE THE ROADWAY TURNS AND GOES TO, UM, THE DNT.

THAT IS A PROJECT THAT COUNCIL JUST GAVE US DIRECTION ON.

UM, WHAT WE PRESENTED, UM, VERSUS WHAT WAS, UH, RECOMMENDED IS DIFFERENT.

UM, THERE ARE CERTAIN SECTIONS WHERE THERE WILL BE A TRAIL SYSTEM THAT'S 10 FOOT WIDE ON ONE SIDE

[01:00:01]

THERE WILL BE OTHER SECTIONS WHERE THEY'RE ASKING US TO EVALUATE IF WE CAN LEAVE THE EXISTING TRAIL THE WAY IT IS AND NOT TAKE AWAY SOME OF THE PARALLEL PARKING.

AND SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THE OVERALL REVIEW TO GET THAT FINAL DESIGN CONTRACT SO WE CAN START DESIGNING.

BUT EVERYTHING SOUTH OF DART WILL HAVE A TRAIL SYSTEM OF SOME SORT.

BUT THE T-BONE ON THE NORTH SIDE IS WHERE YOU REALLY ARE GOING INTO ANOTHER CITY.

CORRECT.

UM, WE ARE ACTUALLY MAKING CONNECTIVITY PIECES WITH THE, UM, CITY OF CARROLLTON AND THEN ALSO WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS AS A PART OF THE OVERALL BOUNDARY AGREEMENT.

UM, WE ACTUALLY HAVE CONVERSATIONS AND PART OF THAT DOCUMENT THAT TALKS ABOUT HOW WE ARE GONNA BE WORKING WITH DALLAS TO MAKE CONNECTIVITY TO VERDE VALLEY SO THAT PEOPLE HAVE SAFE CROSSING UNDERNEATH THE DNT.

AND SO THOSE CONNECTION PIECES WILL HAPPEN.

UM, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE JURISDICTIONS ARE AT THEIR OWN, UM, TIMEFRAME AS TO WHEN THEY IMPLEMENT THOSE.

BUT WE ARE NOT GOING TO EXTEND, UM, WHERE QUORUM COMES DOWN AND IS NOW GONNA MAKE A T INTERSECTION WHERE THE PARK IS.

WE ORIGINALLY WERE GOING TO GO, UH, WEST ON LANDMARK MARK TOWARDS, UM, FARMER'S BRANCH.

UM, WE ARE NOT GONNA BE MAKING THAT PIECE OF THE CONNECTIVITY.

IT'S GOING TO STOP SHORT OF THAT LOCATION.

THAT'S NOT ANY ISSUES WITH SOMETHING WE HAD ALREADY AGREED TO WITH NO.

IT DOES NOT.

THIS IS VERY TECHNICAL, BUT PAGE 61 OF YOUR REPORT, UHHUH , UM, OH NO, THAT WAS, THAT WAS MY QUE THAT WAS ANOTHER THAT TIED INTO IS BECAUSE SOME OF THAT I THOUGHT THEY HAD CHANGED.

I JUST LOOK AT PAGE 61 AND MAKE SURE LANGUAGE WAS OKAY ON IT BASED ON COUNSEL'S RECENT CHANGES OF THOSE THINGS.

AND THEN THERE'S A, DO YOU HAVE THE REPORT UP? YES.

THERE'S SOME PICTURES IN THERE OF RESIDENTIAL SIDEWALKS WHERE THERE'S LANDSCAPING BUFFERS BETWEEN, IT FEELS LIKE IT WAS NUMBER TWO.

THAT WAS LISTED.

I, I CAN'T EXACTLY REMEMBER THE ORDER AND I THINK IT WAS FOR RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS.

I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT THE FIRST ONE WAS.

I MEAN, THAT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT I, I'M AWARE OF THAT WE CURRENTLY DO.

SO THIS IS ALL JUST PURELY FOR FUTURE PLANS.

IS THAT, DO YOU HAVE A PAGE NUMBER? SORRY.

NO.

YEAH, IT'S A, I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT PAGE IT'S ON EITHER.

IT WAS WHERE IT GOT INTO SIDEWALK WITH AND SOME TREE PEDESTRIAN LIKE BUFFERS BETWEEN STREETS AND SIDEWALKS.

YEAH, LIKE KIND OF OH, OH, BACK ONE.

NO, THAT WAS, I THINK THAT WAS AT THAT PAGE THERE.

I MEAN THAT'S NOT REALLY HOW ANY OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS CURRENTLY ARE.

SO IS THIS ONLY FOR FUTURE PLANNING? THAT'S CORRECT.

AS SOMETHING WOULD BE COME THROUGH OR THAT I'M AWARE OF, I WAS GONNA ASK YOU OR WHERE IS THIS IN TOWN? 'CAUSE I DON'T REALLY KNOW THAT THAT EXISTS.

I HAVE NOT SEEN THIS CROSS-SECTION IN TOWN.

THIS IS JUST SOMETHING THAT, UM, HA WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO INSTALL.

THE TOWN CURRENTLY DOES NOT HAVE ANY PLANS, UM, THAT I'M AWARE OF TO MAKE ANY CHANGES TO ANY OF THE RESIDENTIAL CROSS SECTIONS.

WE HAVE ROADWAY CROSS SECTIONS THROUGHOUT TOWN THAT DON'T EVEN HAVE SIDEWALKS AND PEOPLE WALK ON THE ROADWAY.

IT JUST DEPENDS ON THE AREA AND HOW IT WAS DEVELOPED.

UM, IF THERE WAS A PROJECT TO COME THROUGH WHERE THIS MADE SENSE, WE WANTED TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO ADD THESE THINGS IF THAT WAS NECESSARY.

BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY RESOLUTION, SO THAT'S MORE FUTURISTIC.

MM-HMM .

AND THEN RANDOM THAT I THOUGHT OF WHILE WE WERE TALKING HERE THAT I WANTED TO DISCUSS WITH YOU.

SO ACROSS BELTWAY WHERE IT INTERSECTS INTERSECTS AT MIDWAY, THE NEW BIKE LANES GOT PUT THROUGH THERE AND THIS REALLY TIES INTO THE AM LEE HARD CORNER.

NOW UHHUH, , THEY HAVE CHANGED THAT WHERE YOU'VE LOST A RIGHT TURN RIGHT LANE AND I CAN ALREADY SEE THE AMWAY SITE'S NOT EVEN OPEN YET AND I CAN ALREADY SEE HOW BAD THE TRAFFIC'S STARTING TO BACK UP COMING HEADED EASTBOUND.

GONNA INCREASE THE TRAFFIC HEAVILY ON THAT CORNER FOR SURE.

WILL THAT BE REEVALUATED OR IS THERE A WAY TO GET ANOTHER LANE IN THERE OUT OF SOME OF THE AMWAY SITE AT ALL? LIKE IT'S JUST GONNA BE A STRAIGHT AND A RIGHT TURN'S GONNA ALWAYS BE IN THAT ONE LANE AND THAT'S IT.

SO, UM, I'M VERY AWARE OF THAT INTERSECTION .

UM, AND THE WAY THAT WE'RE MOVING THROUGH THAT, THAT'S ACTUALLY THE BIKE LANE PROJECT WAS ACTUALLY A PROJECT THAT THE PARKS DEPARTMENT, UM, LED.

AND SO WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH THEM.

UM, WE ARE WAITING ON THE OVERALL PERMANENT SIGNS TO COME IN THAT SHOW THE WAY THE ROADWAY IS SUPPOSED TO WORK.

AND THEN WE GIVE IT A TIMEFRAME TO SEE HOW IT OPERATES BEFORE WE LOOK TO MAKE ANY CHANGES.

WE WANT IT TO WORK IN THE OPERA, THE CONDITION OF WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED WITHOUT ALL THE SIGNAGE UP.

UM, OBVIOUSLY PEOPLE KNOW HOW THEY'RE OPERATING THROUGH THAT, BUT WE WANT TO GIVE THAT TIME, COUPLE OF MONTHS WE'RE EVALUATING IT, LOOKING AT THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL, LOOKING AT THE PA PATTERNS AND IF WE NEED TO MAKE ADJUSTMENTS, WE WILL MAKE ADJUSTMENTS IN THAT AREA.

SO WILL YOU DO IT AGAIN ONCE THEIR SITES ARE OPEN? WE WILL PROBABLY, IF IT'S OKAY NOW AND YOU DON'T MAKE ANY CHANGES TO IT, ARE YOU GONNA REEVALUATE AFTER? 'CAUSE THAT'S

[01:05:01]

AND, UM, WE WILL NOT, WE DON'T HAVE ANY PLAN CHANGES TO MAKE ANYTHING, UM, MODIFICATIONS TO THE AMLI SITE.

WE WOULD LOOK AT MODIFICATIONS TO THE INTERSECTION TO SEE IF INSTEAD OF A STRAIGHT AND RIGHT, IT NEEDS TO BE A LEFT AND THROUGH.

AND THEN WE MAKE THE INTERSECTION INSTEAD OF HAVING IT MAYBE WHERE NORTH SOUTH GOING AT THE SAME TIME AND EAST WEST IS GOING AT THE SAME TIME.

IT'S LIKE A THREE LEGGED INTERSECTION WHERE ONE SECTION GOES, THE OTHER SECTION GOES.

SO, UM, DEFINITELY SOMETHING WE'RE EVALUATING.

WE GET A LOT OF COMMENTS ABOUT THE BIKE LANES IN THAT AREA, THE TRAVERSING ACROSS MIDWAY IN THAT AREA AND THE TURNING IN THAT AREA.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY ON MY RADAR.

UM, BUT WE WANT TO GET IT WORKING THE WAY IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK BEFORE WE MAKE ANY CHANGES.

AND THEN MY BIG HANGUP, AND I PUT IT IN THE COMMENTS, BUT I REALLY WANT, I'M DYING TO KNOW BECAUSE I DIDN'T, I HAVEN'T SEEN IF YOU'VE REPLIED OR NOT, ARE YOU UPDATING THIS REPORT TO STATE THAT THE DART LINE, THE SILVER LINE IS ALREADY HERE? ABSOLUTELY.

I FEEL LIKE YOU'VE ALREADY DATED IT BEFORE IT GOES OUT IF YOU DON'T UPDATE THAT PART OF IT.

YES, OF COURSE.

WE ARE GONNA UPDATE THAT.

THANK YOU FOR THAT COMMENT.

UM, WHEN THIS DOCUMENT WAS PUT TOGETHER, OBVIOUSLY WE WEREN'T THERE YET.

UM, BUT WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DIDN'T MAKE A LOT OF DRASTIC CHANGES SO THAT YOU HAD A LOT OF RED LINES THAT YOU SEE.

BUT YES, ALL THE SILVER LINE STUFF WILL BE UPDATED.

IT'S EXTREMELY CONVOLUTED.

THAT WAS IT FOR ME.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANKS FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

I HAVE A QUESTION AS TO SCHEDULE.

I FEEL LIKE WE'RE ARE, ARE WE SUPPOSED TO HAVE OUR NEXT SESSION AT SIX? MM-HMM .

WELL, WE GOT, THERE'S, WE, WE CANNOT BEGIN EARLIER THAN 6:00 PM BUT WE CAN, UH, WRAP, WRAP THIS UP AND THEN START ON THE, IN THE REGULAR MEETING AFTER IT'S DONE.

GO AHEAD.

JUST QUESTION AND SCHEDULE.

OH, OH, I DID HAVE A QUESTIONS.

WE COULD BE HERE FOR A WHILE.

OH, OKAY.

UM, WE RAN INTO THIS ON MIDWAY AND THIS IS THE, THIS HAS TO DO WITH MARSH MARSH LANE.

CAN YOU EXPLAIN WHERE WE ON BOTH LANES, SOUTH AND NORTHBOUND AND WHERE IT CHANGES IS JUST NORTH ONLY AND WHAT ARE THE IDEAS ON, I NOTICED THERE WAS STUFF IN THERE ABOUT DOING WORK ON, ON MARSH AND IT'S NOT OUR ALL OF OUR RIGHT OF WAY.

THAT'S RIGHT.

SO, UM, MARSH INTERSECTIONS OF BELTLINE AND SPRING VALLEY ARE BOTH OWNED BY FARMER'S BRANCH.

SO THE SIGNALED INTERSECTIONS, THE TOWN OWNS, UM, MARSH LANE FROM BASICALLY KIND OF LIKE WHERE VITRUVIAN IS NORTH TO BELTLINE.

WE JUST OWN THE NORTHBOUND SIDE.

FARMER'S BRANCH OWNS THE MEDIANS AND THE SOUTHBOUND SIDE.

WHEN YOU GET NORTH OF BELTLINE TO THE CITY LIMITS, THE TOWN OWNS BOTH SIDES OF THE ROADWAY.

BUT FARMERS BRANCH OWNS THE INTERSECTIONS.

SO, UM, SO THIS KIND OF HA AND MY OTHER QUESTION IS, ARE WE GONNA MATCH THEIR SPEED LIMITS? I, YOU KNOW, I NOTICED ON THEY OWN IT ALL NOW.

SO WE, ON MIDWAY WE TOOK THE NORTHBOUND LANE FROM SPRING VALLEY UP TO UM, BELTWAY BELT, KEL SPRINGS, BELTWAY BELTWAY, ROUGHLY RIGHT.

AND WE ENDED UP, WE MADE A A, AN AGREEMENT WITH THEM.

THAT'S OUR PROPERTY NOW.

WE YES.

EXPANDED OUT.

SO SOUTH OF THERE, SOUTH OF, OF 6 35, THEIR SPEED LIMIT IS 35.

AND ONCE YOU GET THE SPRING VALLEY, OURS IS 40, RIGHT? YES.

I'M OKAY WITH THAT.

SO ENCOURAGE CHANGING THAT.

PARDON? I'M NOT, I'M NOT ENCOURAGE CHANGING THAT.

NOT, I'M NOT ENCOURAGING, BUT I'M SAYING, SO AT LEAST WE OWN LIKE AT SOME POINT BOTH DIRECTIONS.

IT'S A SPEED LIMIT AND ONCE YOU GET PAST THE SPOT, IT'S A DIFFERENT SPEED LIMIT.

THAT'S WHERE FARMER'S BRANCH MAKES THEIR MONEY.

YEAH, YEAH.

WELL COPS IS, SO I'LL BE HAPPY TO LOOK AT THIS, BUT, BUT WITH THIS, WITH THIS ONE SIDE, WE CAN'T HAVE A ONE SIDE ONE SPEED AND THE OTHER OTHER DIRECTION ON THE SAME STRETCH OF ROAD .

SO YEAH, WE'LL DEFINITELY LOOK TO SEE THE SPEED LIMITS THAT THEY HAVE POSTED.

I DON'T HAVE THAT MEMORIZED, BUT I'M HAPPY TO LOOK INTO THAT, SEE WHAT THEY HAVE.

AND WE WORK HEAVILY WITH FARMER'S BRANCH AND WE'LL ALSO LOOK AT OUR 85TH PERCENTILE, UM, WITH OUR TRAFFIC COUNTS IN THAT AREA AND SEE IF THERE'S ANY MODIFICATIONS WE NEED TO MAKE TO THE PLAN.

OUT OR SOMETHING BECAUSE IT GOT A LOT OF THAT GOING ON.

ONE OTHER WEIRD QUESTION, I MEAN, NOT A WEIRD QUESTION, BUT IT WAS SOMETHING I NOTICED IN THERE.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHY CELESTIAL ACCESS HAS INCREASED SO MUCH? I MEAN THE, THE USE OF A CELESTIAL IS THERE, I'M, IT KIND OF SHOCKED ME.

THAT WAS THE, THAT WAS THE HIGHEST INCREASE IN CUT THROUGH IS ALL EFFECTIVE.

THAT'S WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT.

I DON'T, I THINK IT'S A SCHOOL.

YOU THINK IT'S A, THE, YEAH.

DALLAS SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE.

DALLAS, THREE O'CLOCK.

WELL THEY DO, THEY PULL IN THERE AND THEN MAKE A U-TURN AND THEN COME BACK

[01:10:01]

AND NOW THIS YEAR, THANK YOU, UM, THIS YEAR IT SEEMS LIKE THAT THEY'VE FORMALIZED, UH, MORE FORMALIZED THEIR QUEUE.

SO THEY QUEUE UP AT, AT 2 45 ALONG MONTFORT AND THEN YOU'VE GOT CARS COMING NORTH THAT ARE TRYING TO COME AROUND AND UH, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE HEADING SOUTH TO GET IN THE QUEUE.

AND SO IT IS JUST, IT'S A MESS.

WE TRY TO AVOID IT AT THAT PERIOD OF TIME.

YOU'LL SEE SOME MODIFICATIONS TOO AS MONTFORT BOUNDARY EXTENDS.

NOW JUST A LITTLE BIT PAST CELESTIAL, UM, WITH, THROUGH THAT BOUNDARY AGREEMENT WE DID WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS, WE'RE WORKING ON FORMALIZING THAT CURRENTLY WORKING ON THE 9 1 1 SYSTEM TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE KNOWS THE AREAS OF WHICH WHO'S RESPONSIBLE.

UM, AND SO THAT'S A PROCESS WE'RE GOING THROUGH WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS.

BUT YOU'LL NOTICE ALSO THEY'RE NOT ALLOWING FOLKS TO PARK ON ROADWAYS THAT USED TO BE ABLE TO PARK ON SOME OF THE ROADWAYS TO PICK UP OR DROP OFF CHILDREN.

AND SO AS WE GET THOSE PAT TRAFFIC PATTERNS MORE SETTLED WITH THE NEW BOUNDARY ADJUSTMENT, OBVIOUSLY WE'LL BE DOING ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION IN THAT AREA TOO WITH MONTFORT.

WE'LL CONTINUE TO LOOK AT IF ADDITIONAL TRAFFIC COUNTS OR ADDITIONAL ROADWAY PATTERNS NEED TO BE EVALUATED.

SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT.

UM, BUT THE SCHOOL DOES HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH THAT AREA.

SO NOW THAT WE'RE, WE CONTROL IT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THERE.

YES SIR.

THE BOUNDARY AGREEMENT THAT WE JUST TOOK THROUGH COUNCIL AND THROUGH CITY OF DALLAS COUNCIL.

UM, WE NOW OWN ALL THE WAY TO JUST SOUTH OF THE CELESTIAL INTERSECTION ON MONTFORD AND WE'RE, WE CAN DO WHATEVER WE CAN MAKE MODIFICATIONS THAT INTERSECTION AS WELL.

I MEAN THAT'S ALWAYS BEEN A COMPLAINT FOREVER THAT THE SIGNAL LIGHTS THERE AND THAT GOING INTO OAKS NORTH HAS ALWAYS BEEN A, I MEAN, YEAH, WE WILL BE REDOING SIGNALS THROUGHOUT THAT ENTIRE AREA.

I'LL BE HAPPY TO SHOW YOU THE MONTFORT PLANS.

UM, BUT THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING THROUGHOUT THAT AREA.

AND CELESTIAL WILL BE AN INTERSECTION THAT WE LOOK AT TO SEE WHETHER OR NOT IT NEEDS A TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

IT MAY NOT WARRANT ONE, BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT'LL GO THROUGH THE OVERALL EVALUATION AND THEN SORT OF THE SAME JURISDICTION DEAL.

ARE WE, I HEARD THAT WE'RE WORKING ON MAKING SOME AGREEMENTS WITH DALLAS ON, ON BELTLINE EAST OF THE TOLLWAY.

NO SIR.

THOSE ARE NOT, UM, ANYTHING THAT WE'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH RIGHT NOW.

UM, WE FOCUSED IN ON MONTFORD AND THAT AREA IS WHAT IS A PART OF OUR OVERALL AGREEMENT.

SO WE EXTENDED THE PROJECT.

UM, WE NOW OWN FROM BELTLINE ALL THE WAY DOWN TO CELESTIAL OF MONTFORT.

BUT NOTHING BUT NOTHING ON BELTLINE ITSELF.

NO SIR.

'CAUSE THERE'S SOME, I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF WE OWN BELTLINE.

WE DO NOT OWN BELTLINE EAST, NO, EAST OF OF DNT.

THE EAST OF DNT.

YES SIR.

BUT WE, WE MAINTAIN THE MEDIA, WE MAINTAIN IT.

MM-HMM .

NOT THE ROADWAY, THE MEDIANS.

I'VE ONLY BEEN HERE A YEAR AND I'M STILL TRYING TO MEMORIZE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THE THINGS.

ARE THOSE MEDIAN, UM, IMPROVEMENTS FOR WHATEVER YOU WANT, UM, WANT TO CALL IT? ARE THOSE HIRES THAT WE'VE MADE WHERE THEY HAVE THE, UH, BLOCKS OR THE, THE BRICKS? THE VERTICAL BRICKS? YES SIR.

THOSE ARE, UM, MODIFICATIONS THAT WERE MADE THROUGH THE PARKS DEPARTMENT.

WE'VE DONE THAT.

YES, SIR.

AS WE HAVE, WE HAD ANY UH, UM, COMMENTS? NOT REALLY ANY COMMENTS THAT I'M AWARE OF.

UM, JUST A MODIFICATION THAT WAS MADE.

UM, WE ALSO HELPED THE CITY OF DALLAS.

THEY MOVED THEIR TRAFFIC SIGNAL BACK AND WE MOVED THE NOSE OF THE INTERSECTION OUTSIDE OF THE PEDESTRIAN CROSSING.

SO NOW PEOPLE HAVE, THROUGH CROSSING WE REPAINTED THE INTERSECTIONS AND COORDINATED THAT ALL WITH THE CITY OF DALLAS.

I WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH LEE, WITH THEIR DIRECTOR OF TRANSPORTATION ON MULTITUDE OF PROJECTS.

UM, AND SO WE'RE HAPPY WITH THE SUCCESS OF THAT AREA.

WELL, NO NEGATIVE COMMENTS THEN.

I HAVEN'T REALLY RECEIVED ANY.

NO, SIR.

I LOVE IT.

I THINK IT'S A GREAT IDEA.

WELL DONE.

I'LL LET THE PARKS DEPARTMENT KNOW.

UM, UH, SO QUESTION FOR LESLIE AND COREY.

FIRST, I SUBMITTED MINE AT KIND OF THE, THE LAST MINUTE ON CONVEO.

UH, EVERYBODY SEES IT 'CAUSE I DON'T SEE ANYONE ELSE'S COMMENTS IF ANYBODY ELSE MADE COMMENTS ON THE DRAFT FOR SOME REASON.

SO, UM, WE TOOK THE COMMENTS ALL DOWN, OR EXCUSE ME, NOT ALL DOWN.

WE DOWNLOADED ALL OF THE COMMENTS, UM, IN ADVANCE OF THE MEETING SO WE COULD BE PREPARED.

SO IF YOU SUBMITTED SOME THIS AFTERNOON, THAT'S NO PROBLEM.

UM, WE STILL HAVE THEM.

IT'S STILL OPEN.

WE HAVE SMALL SIZE AND A LOT OF TRANSIT CAPACITY.

UM, SO WE'LL JUST CONTINUE RESPONDING TO COMMENTS, UM, AS THEY COME IN.

SO, OKAY.

EXCELLENT.

SO I CAN, I CAN SUMMARIZE HERE, UM, A LITTLE BIT EASIER, SOME BREAK THROUGH ALL YOUR COMMENTS, I BELIEVE.

OKAY, PERFECT.

SO YOU, YOU KNOW, I REALLY LIKE THIS PLAN.

I THINK YOU GUYS DID AN EXCELLENT JOB OVERALL.

UM, THANK YOU.

SO YEAH, THE, THE BIG THING, UH, I WANTED TO BRING UP PUBLIC IS JUST KIND OF THINKING ABOUT OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH DART AS FAR AS, YOU KNOW,

[01:15:01]

GREAT IDEA FOR TEST BEDDING, NEW I, NEW IDEAS, YOU KNOW, LIKE BUS SIGNAL PRIORITIZATION.

I KNOW THAT'S ONE OF THOSE THINGS THAT SOUNDS SIMPLE.

JUST TWEAK THE LIGHTS.

BUT I KNOW IT'S VERY COMPLEX, BUT THERE'S LESS LIGHTS IN OUR TOWN THAN THERE ARE.

OURS COULD BE A GREAT IDEA TO KIND OF TEST THAT SO THAT WAY PEOPLE WHO ARE DRIVING WITH THE BUS GET TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHTS FASTER.

IT MAY NOT, UH, GET MAD AS ME AT MUCH.

UH, AND THEN, UM, ANOTHER THING THAT I WAS KIND OF CONFUSED BY, FRANKLY, FLABBERGASTED.

WHY IS QUORUM THROUGH ADDISON CIRCLE AN ARTERIAL OF ANY SORT? IS THERE ANY RATIONALE FOR THAT? SO THAT'S THE ROADWAY CLASSIFICATION THAT IT HAS BEEN FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.

EVEN WITH REDUCING THE SPEED, IT STILL HAS AN OVERALL ROADWAY CROSS-SECTION THAT IS MOST SIMILAR TO THE ARTERIAL.

I SEE.

AND SO THAT'S THE REASON WHY IT STAYED ARTERIAL.

AND, BUT WE CAN STILL DO, YOU KNOW, THE GOOD PEDESTRIAN STUFF.

'CAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF, UM, DESIRE FOR, YOU KNOW, PEAK SAFETY.

WE'VE HAD PETITIONS, WE'VE HAD COUNCIL MAKING MOVEMENTS AHEAD OF THIS PLAN, UM, WITH THE SPEED LIMITS THAT I THINK HAVE BEEN GOOD.

UM, I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS ODD THAT IT'S AN ARTERIAL.

UH, I CONSIDER AT LEAST THE ADDISON CI CIRCLE PORTION A A NEIGHBORHOOD STREET.

UM, AND I HOPE STAFF AND, UH, COUNCIL, WHAT HAVE YOU CONTINUE TO CONSIDER IT, UH, LIKE THAT LESS SO, MORE LIKE A CUT THROUGH.

UM, WHICH I DON'T THINK IS AN ISSUE WITH THIS PLAN.

JUST, JUST THOUGHT IT WAS, WAS, WAS INTERESTING.

UM, LET'S SEE.

ANOTHER COMMENT WAS, YOU KNOW, THE WAITING FOR REDEVELOPMENTS OR THAT'S HOW I PHRASED IT AS FAR AS LIKE GETTING NEW WAYS.

YOU, YOU WERE, YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT OTHER WAYS BEYOND GETTING RIGHT OF WAY TO IN INCREASE, UM, CONNECTIVITY.

I, I, I, I'D LOVE TO KNOW IF THERE'S ANY MORE DETAILS ON LIKE HOW DO WE GET, YOU KNOW, FOR EXAMPLE, THE BENT TREE PROPERTIES ON THE ADDISON ROADSIDE WHERE THERE'S NO SIDEWALK, DO WE HAVE TO REQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY TO GET SIDEWALKS RIGHT.

YOU KNOW, THAT, THAT SORT OF THING.

UM, SURE.

BECAUSE I JUST, I DON'T THINK WAITING FOR REDEVELOPMENT TO GET SIDEWALKS IS A GOOD ENOUGH EXCUSE.

UM, AND NOT THAT ANYONE'S MAKING THE EXCUSE ON THE STAFF SIDE.

I KNOW HOW DIFFICULT IT IS.

I JUST DON'T LIKE THAT THERE'S NOT SIDEWALKS EVERYWHERE TOO.

YEAH, NO, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT.

YEAH, THAT'S PART OF HAVING THE OVERALL SIDEWALK, UM, PROGRAM AND LOOKING AT THE TRIALS PLAN, UM, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A BUDGETARY ITEM THAT ALLOWS US TO DO SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS.

WE RANK THEM BASED ON OUR ASSET MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND FILL THE GAPS AND WORK WITH COG ALSO THROUGH FUNDING.

GOOD.

THAT'S AVAILABLE.

UM, AS FAR AS THE RIGHT OF WAY, THE APPROACH REALLY IN MANY CASES, IF WE DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY WHEN IT COMES TO SIDEWALK, IS TO GET A SIDEWALK EASEMENT MM-HMM .

VERSUS GETTING AN OVERALL RIGHT OF WAY TAKE WHERE WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO CONSTRUCT INSIDE THE EASEMENT, BUT WE DON'T OWN THE LAND.

SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WILL EVALUATE.

UM, THE AREA YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT WITH BEN.

TRUE.

THE ROADWAY IS VERY WIDE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT IF THE CROSS SECTION NEEDS TO BE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT IT IS TODAY.

MARSH OR WEST OF MIDWAY AND HOPEFULLY WE CAN PRIORITIZE THE EAST SIDE AND, AND GET THAT AS SAFE AS POSSIBLE UP TO THE TOLLWAY.

EXCELLENT.

YEAH, I THINK I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THAT, UM, ESPECIALLY IF WE, YOU KNOW, AS, AS DEVELOPMENT KIND OF CONTINUES THERE, UM, IT WOULD BE KIND OF ODD TO HAVE A SIDEWALK INTO ANYTHING WE APPROVE AT THAT GREENFIELD SITE THAT JUST ENDS.

UM, SURE.

THEN A COUPLE THINGS THAT I ADDED JUST OVER THE MEETING.

UM, IS THERE ROOM FOR KIND OF HIGHLIGHTING ALIGNED PLANS, REGIONAL PLANS? LIKE IN, DID I SAY IN THE GLOSSARY? EXCUSE ME, IN THE, YOU KNOW, KIND OF IN A REFERENCES SECTION SAYING, HEY, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT, WE KNOW NCT COG EXISTS THAT WAY IT'S JUST EASY TO SAY GO LOOK HERE FOR MORE DETAILS.

UM, AND WE CAN LOOK AT REFERENCING OTHER PLANS.

OKAY, PERFECT.

AND THEN FINALLY, UM, I NOTICED THERE WAS SOME BICYCLE, WELL, NO, TWO MORE THINGS.

I NOTICED THERE WAS A LOT OF BICYCLE TRAFFIC ON KIND OF THE, JUST SOUTH OF WEST GROVE ON ADDISON.

UM, AND I JUST REMEMBERED I ALWAYS SEE PILOTS RIDING SCOOTERS.

UM, HAVE YOU TALKED TO THE FLIGHT SCHOOLS AROUND TO SEE HOW THE PILOTS FEEL ABOUT THAT OR ANYTHING? I HAVE NOT TALKED TO THE FLIGHT SCHOOLS, BUT I DO, UM, PAY ATTENTION.

I'M ON THAT ROAD QUITE OFTEN.

UM, BETWEEN SCOOTERS AND BICYCLES, WE DO SEE INDIVIDUALS THAT ARE TRAVELING IN THAT AREA, WHETHER THEY'RE COMING FROM THE VENT TREE APARTMENTS DOWN TO THE FLIGHT SCHOOL, ET CETERA.

SO AS WE LOOK AT ADDISON ROAD AND IMPROVEMENTS TO BE MADE IN THE FUTURE MM-HMM .

THAT'S NOT A ROADWAY THAT WE'RE CURRENTLY LOOKING TO MAKE THE MODIFICATIONS TO, UM, LOOKING AT WHAT CROSS-SECTION WORKS IN THAT AREA, HOW FLEXIBLE CAN WE BE? UM, AND, AND HOW CAN WE MAKE IT SAFER FOR EVERYONE TO COMMUTE IN THAT AREA.

SO DEFINITELY SOMETHING ON OUR RADAR.

EXCELLENT.

AND MY FINAL COMMENT, UM, THE, UH, SOMETHING KIND OF POINTING TO, UH, THE COMMISSION AND MAYBE THE COUNCIL IS TAKING A LOOK AT, UH, THE MAP FOR THE PEDESTRIAN CRASHES AT BELTLINE.

HOW IT'S HIS TAIL OF TWO CITIES WHERE WE'VE IMPROVED BELTLINE, I THINK IT'S CALLED 1.5.

UH, THERE'S VIRTUALLY ZERO CRASHES DESPITE FAIRLY SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC ON THE RIGHT SIDE WHERE SIDEWALK COVERAGE IS A LITTLE DICIER, NOT, NOT AS AMENITIZED, NOT AS SAFE FEELING THERE ARE MORE PEDESTRIAN CRASHES OR MORE, YOU KNOW, INVOLVED CRASHES.

I THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY INTERESTING AND I THINK IT'S POWERFUL THAT SHOWS THIS INFRASTRUCTURE WORKS AND WE SHOULD FEEL PROUD OF WHAT WE DID ON THE WEST OF

[01:20:01]

BUT OVERALL, YOU KNOW, I LEFT MY COMMENTS.

I'M HAPPY TO TALK.

I LEFT A LOT OF COMMENTS.

WE CAN, WE CAN DO THAT OFFLINE IF NEEDED.

GREAT PLAN.

I LOVE IT.

UH, LOOKING FORWARD TO, UH, TALKING ABOUT IT MORE.

THANK YOU TYLER.

ALRIGHTY.

ANYTHING ELSE? YES, SO, UH, EAST SIDE BELT LINE, UH, SIMILAR COMMENTS TO SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES IN TERMS OF SIDEWALKS, UH, AND WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN EXERCISE OR BETTER USE, UH, EASEMENTS TO GET, UH, MUCH SAFER CONNECTIVITY TO THE, UM, WYNWOOD PARK AND TRAILS.

IT'S A VERY, VERY DANGEROUS SECTION OF ROAD WITH A LOT OF HIGH SPEED TRAFFIC.

UM, THERE'S CLEARLY GOTTA BE AN EASEMENT SINCE THERE'S, UM, POWER LINES RIGHT THERE ON THE ROAD.

AND I'D LIKE TO SEE US PUT THAT ON.

I DIDN'T SEE IT ON THE LIST AND I'D LIKE TO SEE IT PUT ON THE LIST.

SO THAT IS THE CITY OF DALLAS' ROADWAY, SO THAT'LL BE SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO DALLAS OWNS EVERYTHING.

BELTLINE EAST OF D AND TII BELIEVE WE OWN THE SIDEWALK ON, ON THE SOUTH SIDE.

ON THE SOUTH SOUTH.

THE FINANCE WHERE THE FINANCE BUILDING IS ON THE SOUTH SIDE OF THE ROADWAY.

WE DO OWN SIDEWALK IN SOME OF THOSE AREAS AND, AND WE'VE BEEN EVALUATING ACTUALLY, HOW DO WE MAKE THE SIDEWALK NOT BE ON THE EDGE OF THE CURB? THAT'S, AND SO I AND MOVE IT BACK, MAKE IT MORE SECURE.

I DIDN'T SEE IT IN THE PLAN THOUGH.

MAYBE I MISSED IT.

UM, IT'S NOT IN THE PLAN.

UM, THE PLAN'S NOT GONNA COVER EVERY SINGLE PROJECT THAT WE'RE EVALUATING.

YOU COULD START, YOU PUT A LOT OF STARS UP, I'M ASKING YOU TO GIMME A STAR.

SURE.

CAN YOU HAVE A STAR? YEAH, WE'LL SEE WHAT WE CAN DO.

I COULD SUPPORT THAT AS WELL.

I'VE WALKED THAT STRETCH BY THE STATE COUNCIL.

IT'S ICY.

IT'S, WE HAVE TO DECIDE WHICH WAY WE WANNA WALK.

DO WE WANNA BE HIT HEAD ON OR DO WE NOT WANNA SEE IT COMING? YEP.

AND SO, UH, I'M SYMPATHETIC TO THAT, UH, QUESTION.

DO WE HAVE REAL TIME DYNAMIC SIGNALING ANYWHERE, TRAFFIC SIGNALING ANYWHERE IN ADDISON? ALL OF OUR SIGNALS ARE REAL TIME SIGNALS.

ARE THEY DYNAMIC? DO THEY CHANGE OR ARE THEY JUST SET? UM, RIGHT NOW THEY'RE CURRENTLY ALL SET ON DIFFERENT SIGNAL, UH, DIFFERENT TIMING BASED ON WHAT THEY'RE ASSOCIATED WITH.

UM, WE ARE LOOKING AT AND PILOTING A NEW PROGRAM THAT WE'LL HAVE READY AT THE END OF JANUARY TO ACTUALLY NOT ONLY USE, UM, SOME SATELLITE, UM, UH, TECHNOLOGY INSTEAD OF USING THE CELLULAR TECHNOLOGY BECAUSE OF ALL THE EVENTS WE HAVE HERE.

A LOT OF TIMES OUR CELLULAR, UM, DOESN'T WORK WELL THROUGH OUR TRAFFIC SIGNALS.

BUT THEN ALSO LOOKING AT THAT DYNAMIC FLOW, WE ALSO HAVE FOLKS THAT ARE, THAT SIT AND EVALUATE DURING DIFFERENT TIMES OF THE DAY, UM, THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL.

SO WE'LL BE LOOKING AT LOOKING, LOOKING AT MAKING ADDITIONAL MODIFICATIONS.

SO CLARIFICATION, YOU'RE ROLLING OUT THE PILOT THEN, OR YOU'VE ALREADY DONE THE PILOT.

YOU DO YOU LIKE IT AND YOU'RE ROLLING OUT THE PROGRAM? WE ARE PILOTING A PROGRAM THAT WE WILL HAVE THE INFORMATION IN JANUARY AND THEN IF WE LIKE WHAT WE SEE AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN GET COMFORTABLE WITH, WE WILL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH THAT.

THEY'RE CURRENTLY ALL TIMED.

SO THERE'S NOBODY USING GOOGLE, UH, DATA THAT LOOKS AT TRAFFIC FLOW? NO, WE ARE NOT USING ANY KIND OF AI OR ANY KIND OF GOOGLE DATA AT THIS TIME.

UM, WE ARE EVALUATING THAT THOUGH.

THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S COMING.

I MEAN SOMETHING THAT ALL TOWNS ARE EVALUATING.

I ACTUALLY JUST EMAILED ABOUT 15 OTHER PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTORS TO GET INFORMATION TO SEE HOW AND WHAT THEY'RE DOING IF THEY'RE PILOTING DIFFERENT INFORMATION.

AND THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO ADOPT A PLAN IS USE THE EXISTING INFORMATION YOU HAVE AS THINGS CHANGE.

SO I I THINK IT'S A TERRIFIC PLAN, A GREAT DEAL OF THOUGHT.

I THINK ONE AREA THAT IS LACKING IS ADDRESSING THE CONGESTION OVERALL.

SO WE DO HAVE HIGH CONGESTION AREAS AND THERE'S A LACK, LACK OF SPECIFICITY IN TERMS OF HOW TO ADDRESS THAT.

THERE'S A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON WALKABILITY, ON MULTIMODAL, UH, THE VAST MAJORITY OF PEOPLE STILL DO IN CARS.

WE STILL HAVE HOTSPOTS AND I DID NOT SEE A LOT OF SPECIFICITY AT ALL, UH, AS TO PLANS OF HOW TO ADDRESS THAT.

AND I WOULD THINK THAT WOULD BE THE AVAILABLE DYNAMIC DATA WOULD BE ONE WAY WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO DO THAT.

UM, LASTLY, IS THERE ANY COMPELLING REASON THAT WE COULD NOT, UH, PUSH BACK CONSIDERATION OF THIS PLAN? UM, ARE THERE ANY HARD AND FAST LEGAL OR STATUTORY DEADLINES WHERE WE COULDN'T SAY WE'D RATHER CONSIDER THIS, UH, IN JUNE, LET'S SAY, AS OPPOSED TO JANUARY? UM, NOTHING LEGAL, JUST SIMPLY THAT THE, UH, COMMENTS WE RECEIVED FROM COUNSEL WERE EXTREMELY MINIMAL.

WE ONLY GOT REALLY TWO COMMENTS.

UM, WE'VE RECEIVED SEVERAL COMMENTS FROM YOU THAT WE FEEL LIKE WE CAN ADDRESS, UM, BASED ON WHAT WE'VE RECEIVED.

AND THIS PLAN WAS ORIGINALLY PLANNED TO BE ADOPTED IN THE AUGUST SEPTEMBER TIMEFRAME.

SO WE'RE TRYING TO GET IT DONE.

UM, IT IS THE EXISTING INFORMATION WE HAVE TO DATE

[01:25:01]

THAT'S THE REASON WHY THESE DOCUMENTS ARE UPDATED ON A FIVE YEAR BASIS.

UM, WE ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO AMEND THE PLAN AT ANY TIME IF SOMETHING SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGES.

UM, FOR EXAMPLE, IF SOMETHING WAS TO CHANGE WITH DART, WE WOULD HAVE THE ABILITY TO AMEND THE PLAN.

YEAH, THAT, THAT'S MY CONCERN FOR ONE OF SIX MITES.

WE'RE MAKING A DOCUMENT THAT'S SUPPOSED TO LAST FOR 10 YEARS AND THE DYNAMICS OF DART RIGHT NOW ARE OBVIOUSLY IN FLUX, UH, TO A LARGE DEGREE.

AND I, I DON'T KNOW WHY WE WOULDN'T CONSIDER HOLDING, UH, THIS IN ABEYANCE FOR SIX MONTHS UNTIL WE, AFTER WE SEE THESE OTHER CITY VOTES, UH, AND WE SEE WHAT THE POTENTIAL COST OR MAJOR CHANGES THAT IT MIGHT MEAN FOR THIS DOCUMENT.

UM, SO THAT WOULD BE MY PREFERENCE, WHICH UM, I JUST WANTED TO SURE.

VOICE.

YEAH, YOU'RE WELCOME TO HAVE YOUR OPINION.

I APPRECIATE YOUR FEEDBACK.

WITH THAT ELSE'S COMMENTS.
