THIS IS A REQUEST FOR THE INSTALLATION OF RED CURB, NO PARKING, UH, AT TWO, TWO DIFFERENT STORM DRAIN INLETS.
THEY'RE AT THE INTERSECTION OF EAST 22ND STREET AND B AVENUE.

AND THIS, UH, UH, RECORD THAT WE'RE PROPOSING IS FOR, UH, UH, ONE IS 40 FEET OF A RECORD AT STORM DRAIN ILET AND THE OTHER SIDE ON THE, UM, SOUTH SIDE OF 22ND STREET.
WE'RE ASKING 20 FEET OF CURB, NO PARKING AND STORM DRAIN EITHER.
UM, UH, THE PURPOSE, UM, I'M GOING TO SHARE MY SCREEN ON A STREET VIEW.
UM, AND WE CAN SEE THE TWO LOCATIONS.
UH, THERE IS A STORM DRAIN INLET HERE AND ANOTHER ACROSS THE STREET.
UH, WHY, UH, WE'RE, UH, WE'RE, WE'RE DOING THAT BASICALLY WE HAVE SOME, UH, WE HAVE AREA RESIDENTS THAT REQUESTED THE CITY TO DO SOME INVESTIGATIONS, UH, BECAUSE THEY'RE HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH THE FLOODING.
AND BASICALLY THIS AREA, UM, IS, UH, UM, BETWEEN THE, UH, 18TH STREET, UH, 22ND STREET, NATIONAL CITY BOULEVARD, AND THE AVENUE, BASICALLY, UH, IN ORDER FOR US TO REDUCE, UM, THE FLOOD, UH, RISK OF FLOOD.
WE'RE GOING TO DO SOME ENHANCEMENTS, UM, IN THE NEAR FUTURE.
BUT ANOTHER, UM, ENHANCEMENT THAT WE CAN DO THAT IS SOMETHING IS JUST, UM, UH, UM, YOU KNOW, SOME RED CURB AT, UH, AT SOME INLET IS JUST ADDING THIS, UH, NO HAVE NO PARKING IN THIS BO IN THIS TWO SIDES OF 22ND STREET.
[00:05:01]
PARKING, UH, UH, HAVING VEHICLE PARKED, UH, ADJACENT TO THE STORM ILET IS, YOU KNOW, CAN BE AN, AN ISSUE IS BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU, UM, THERE IS A RESTRICTIONS.YOU ARE, THE WATER THAT GOES IN THE ILET IS GOING TO BE REDUCED BECAUSE THERE IS A, A CAR THAT PARKED.
IT'S, YOU ARE NOT GOING, THE WATER DOESN'T GO EFFICIENTLY.
GO IN THE, SOME IN THE SUM SYSTEM.
AND BASICALLY, UM, BASICALLY EVEN FOR MAINTENANCE, YOU KNOW, WE, WE DON'T KNOW IF THERE ANYTHING IS BLOCKING THE, UH, THE STORM
BUT THIS, OUR RECOMMENDATIONS, UH, THE RECOMMENDATION HAS, UH, WILL SAY IS THE FILE ON THE ATTACHED LOCATION MAP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS.
AND, UH, UM, LEMME KNOW IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THAT.
SO THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO, TO DO THE RED, RED ZONE? YEAH.
UH, IT IS THE, UH, THE 40 FEET, LIKE I WOULD SAY, UM, AT, ON THE NORTH SIDE, UM, UH, IS, UH, WEST SIDE, WEST OF BE AVENUE, UM, 20 FEET ON THE, UH, SOUTH SIDE OF THE 27TH STREET, AND B, ADDING, UH, 20 FEET FOR THE LIGHTING LAW.
IS THERE ANYONE HERE TO COMMENT ON THIS AGENDA ITEM FOR B IN 22ND.
REALLY GLAD TO HEAR YOUR COMMENTS.
WE'VE BEEN IN PUSHING BUSINESS FOR SOME TIME, SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO SEE THIS COME TO FRUITION.
UM, BEING YOU, THE RESIDENTS LIVE IN THIS AREA THAT'S SLIGHT, PROBABLY LAST FEW YEARS.
UM, SO THESE RESIDENTS SIGNIFICANTLY START PROCESS HELPING, UH, POSSIBLY, UM,
SO WE'D LIKE TO COMBAT AS MUCH AS WE CAN CHANGE CLASS ENVIRONMENTS.
SO WONDERFUL, WE CAN CONTINUE, CONTINUE THE PROCESS MORE AND MORE.
DID EVERYONE UNDERSTAND THE RECOMMENDATION FROM STAFF? YES.
DO WE NEED ANY WHAT? NO, I DON'T.
THANK YOU FOR DECIDING THIS, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE BEEN IN FOR YEARS.
WE'VE BEEN LIVING HERE FOR 26, 26 YEARS NOW.
AND IT IS, UH, OTHER THING THAT WE REQUEST LONG, LONG TIME AGO IS THAT THE APARTMENTS THAT ARE RIGHT THERE, UH, THEY CAN FEED THE TRASH OF THEIR OWN TREES BECAUSE ALL THAT TRASH IS ON THE GROUND.
YESTERDAY, JUST YESTERDAY I WAS CLEANING IT TO PUSH IT TO THE CENTER OF THE STREET BECAUSE THE SWEEPER NEVER CLEANED THERE.
THE SWEEPER DOESN'T, IF THEY DON'T GO THERE, YOU'LL BE SAVING TIME TO DO OTHER STUFF BECAUSE THEY DON'T DO ANY, THEY DON'T SWEEP ANYTHING BECAUSE THE CARS ARE PARKED RIGHT THERE ALL THE TIME.
I HAVE SEEN CARS PARKED THERE FOR WEEKS, WEEKS, MONTHS, AND NOTHING HAPPENED.
I, I MEAN, THEY CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT, BUT WE'RE REQUESTING TO HAVE AT LEAST TWICE A MONTH SO THE SWEEPER CAN DO ITS JOB BECAUSE IT IS, UH, USELESS THE WAY IT IS AS RIGHT NOW.
DO YOU GUYS KNOW ABOUT THE CLICK FIX APP ON THE, WHERE YOU CAN PUT IN REPORTS OF, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THERE'S A CAR THAT'S PARKED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME, YOU CAN REPORT THAT SO THEN OUR TRAFFIC CONTROL PEOPLE CAN GO AND TAG THAT VEHICLE AND TAKE OTHER ACTIONS SO THAT IT GETS CEASES TO BE A PROBLEM.
BUT I DON'T HAVE PROBLEM WITH DAY PARK.
OR USUALLY THEY WANT
I DON'T THINK SOMETHING ALSO TO DO.
I HAVE SEEN OTHER STUDENTS LIKE OCEAN BEACH, PACIFIC BEACH.
THEY DO THAT FOR THE STREET CLEANER.
SO, AND THEN WE CAR PARK WHO PARK RIGHT THERE AND THE DAY THAT IT TO BE EMPTY, THEY GOT A TICKET EVEN MORE WHITE COMING INTO THE CITY TOO.
IS THERE ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO SPEAK ON THIS? OKAY.
SO, UM, ANY STAFF COMMENT ON THE AGENDA ITEM? NO.
I VOTE AND I MEAN, I MAKE A MOTION TO, UH, UH, ACCEPT STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND HAVE THE RED CURVES PAINTED AS DESCRIBED.
THANK YOU FOR, FOR COMING IN WITH THIS.
'CAUSE WE REALLY NEED TO ADDRESS FLOODING ISSUES AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO REALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TAKING THE TIME TO NOT ONLY MAKE THE, UH, REPORT, BUT, UH, REQUEST THE ACTION, BUT TO COME AND SPEAK TO IT AS WELL.
UM, YEAH, I DUNNO IF YOU WANNA NEED TO ADDRESS FOR THE, YEAH.
SO, UH, FREE SWEEPING, UH, FOR, UH, WE CALENDAR, WE HAVE A PROGRAM FOR THREE SWEEP SWEEPING, BASICALLY, UM,
[00:10:01]
UM, IF SOMEONE WANTS TO HAVE, UH, THE THREE SWEEPING SIGN, RIGHT, THAT PROHIBIT PARKING FOR A CERTAIN DAYS AND A CERTAIN HOURS, BASICALLY THAT WILL NEED TO BE SUBMITTED TO THE ENGINEER PUBLIC COURTS.BASICALLY, IT'S A PETITION THAT NEEDS TO BE SUBMITTED AND, UH, AND NEEDS TO GO TO
AND BASICALLY, BUT YOU CAN COME TO ENGINEER PUBLIC COURT PROVIDE, WE CAN PROVIDE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT, OR RELEASE THAT 20 SIGNATURE, I ASSUME, SORRY, 20 SIGNATURES.
UH, 60% OF WHATEVER, UH, PROPOSING, YOU KNOW, THE LIMITS, UH, CAN BE A BLOCK MINIMUM IF YOU WANT TO BLOCK 60% OF THE TWO BLOCKS, UH, OR PROPERTY OWNER SIGNED PETITION.
AND WE CAN CONSIDERING HAVING THE THREE SWEEP AND SIGN THAT MAKE THE, THE THREE SWEEPER, UH, YOU KNOW, UH, WE PROBABLY PARKING SO THE STREET SWEEPER CAN CLEAN ATE THE, THE, THE SIDE OF THE STREET, UH, APARTMENT RESIDENCE AS WELL, OR JUST THE CAN BE THE APARTMENT AS WELL.
UH, BUT IT'S GOING TO BE A, ALONG ALONG THE, THE STREET, RIGHT? UH, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CITY RIGHT AWAY.
YOU DON'T TO WAIT, UH, 22ND STREET WE'RE TALKING ABOUT? YES, YES.
CAN BE ONE SIDE, THE OTHER SIDE FOR THE APARTMENT.
I DON'T KNOW IF UP TO THE, UH, UH, PROPERTY MANAGER OF THE, UH, APARTMENT COMPLEX IF THEY'RE WILLING TO DO THAT BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I KNOW THAT HOW, UH, THE LIABILITY IS THEM, THE TREES RUNNING ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM ALL THE WAY FROM D TO A PRETTY MUCH WITHOUT ANY, THEY DO THE TRIMMING THE TREES, THEY JUST DON'T CLEAN UP BACK.
YEAH, YOU TAKE A LOOK, YOU TAKE LIKE, YEAH.
WELL, YOU CAN HAVE ENGINEERING AND WE CAN DISCUSS ABOUT PERFECT.
I WOULD CAUTION YOU TWO, JUST SO YOU KNOW, THE, THE NEXT STEP IN THIS PROCESS, NOW THAT WE'VE APPROVED THE MOTION, IT WILL GO TO THE, UH, CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
IT WILL BE PART OF THEIR CONSENT CALENDAR.
AND HOPEFULLY THAT HAPPENS IN DECEMBER.
WE, OR, UH, WE, WE DON'T KNOW THE DATES THE, THE CITY, THE CITY CLOSES DOWN FOR THE HOLIDAYS, SO THERE COULD BE A LITTLE BIT OF DELAY, BUT, UH, WE'LL MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE NOTIFIED WHEN THAT GOES TO THE CONSENT CALENDAR.
VERY TYPICALLY, THE, UH, IT'S APPROVED UNLESS SOMEONE COMES AND COMPLAINS AND CAUSES THE CITY COUNCIL TO HAVE FURTHER DISCUSSION OF THE ITEM, BUT MOST OF THE TIME IT'S JUST A, THEY REVIEW APPROVE AND IT GOES ON FROM THERE.
SO, BUT ENGINEERING WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL TO TAKE THEIR ACTION UNTIL AFTER THE VOTE FROM THE CITY COUNCIL TO ACCEPT OUR RECOMMENDATION.
SO IT MAY TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME, BUT THANK YOU FOR, FOR, AGAIN, FOR SUBMITTING THIS AND, UH, WE'RE SO GLAD THAT IT CAN GO FORWARD.
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA, AND YOU'RE WELCOME TO STAY IF YOU'D LIKE.
UM, BUT WE'RE GONNA MOVE ON FOR THE SECOND AGENDA ITEM ON OUR, ON OUR, UH, NEW BUSINESS.
IT'S ITEM NUMBER 2025 DASH 21.
THIS IS TO REQUEST THE INSTALLATION OF 70 FEET OF PARALLEL TWO HOUR PARKING, UH, ADJACENT TO CHRIS STONE, CHRISS STONEHILL, I MAY BE MISPRONOUNCING THAT.
DENTAL, WHICH IS LOCATED AT 9 0 5 EAST EIGHTH STREET.
UH, HOPEFULLY TO INCREASE PARKING TURNOVER FOR, UH, CUSTOMERS.
UM, DO WE HAVE ANYONE HERE TO SPEAK ON THAT ITEM? ACTUALLY, I'M PART, YEAH, I'M, I'M THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR THIS, UM, ITEM HERE.
WE'RE GONNA HAVE STAFF GIVE THEIR REPORT AND THEN I WOULD WELCOME YOUR COMMENT.
SO, UH, YOU CAN SEE IN THE REPORT, UM, MR.
HE STATED THAT VEHICLES PARKED ON THIS LOCATION ARE USUALLY LEFT THERE FOR WEEKS, MONTHS.
HE HAS TRIED PULLING THE, UH, PARKING, UH, SUITCASE FIX.
RIGHT? SHE SAYS THAT STILL THERE ARE STILL THERE ISSUES WAS FOR ME.
UM, EVEN THOUGH THEY DO HAVE OUTSIDE PARKING, IT'S MAINLY FOR EMPLOYEES AND THEY ALSO HAVE, UH, GREEN CURVE, OUR, LIKE, IN FRONT OF THE BUSINESS.
AND IT'S, UH, I THINK IT'S FOR THREE VEHICLES.
SO ANOTHER TECHNICALLY ON THE ADJACENT TO THE PROPERTY ROOM, UH, AT ANOTHER THREE VEHICLES.
UH, SO AS, UH, WE DID VISIT, WELL, I DID VISIT THE SITE AND THE FIRST TIME I WENT, UH, THERE WERE THREE VEHICLES THERE AND I WENT A
[00:15:01]
WEEK LATER AND THE TWO OF THE SAME VEHICLES WERE STILL THERE.SO YES, I GUESS PARKING IS THERE.
AND AS, UH, STAFF, WE DO RECOMMEND THE INSTALLATION HAVE THE
SO ARLENE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SPEAK? UH, YOU HEARD THE RECOMMENDATION, CORRECT? YES.
DO YOU HAVE, UH, COMMENTS THAT YOU'D LIKE TO MAKE? I WAS JUST, I KNOW THIS WAS, UH, ADDRESSED WITH MR. OMO.
UH, BECAUSE I WAS THINKING IF WE CAN EXTEND THAT TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THAT GATE, YOU KNOW, THE, AT THE END, I DUNNO.
'CAUSE WE, IN THE PAST, WE ALSO SAW VEHICLES BEING PARKED IN THAT TINY SPOT.
YOU KNOW, THEY, THEY, THEY LEAVE VEHICLES IN THAT, OR SOMETIMES, WELL, THEY HAVE FURNITURE THAT THEY DUMP IN THERE, IN THAT LITTLE TI UH, LITTLE SPOT THERE.
BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT IT'S NOT POSSIBLE TO DO THAT.
I THINK THERE WAS, I FORGOTTEN NOW THE REASON, BUT THAT'S STILL FINE.
BUT I WAS JUST THINKING IF THERE'S A POSSIBILITY THAT WE CAN EXTEND THAT, YOU KNOW, THE, THE, THE GREEN, UH, REGULATION TO THAT SMALL SPOT AT THE VERY TOP OF THE, YOU KNOW, BEFORE THE ALLEY.
IF THAT'S POSSIBLE, IT'S FINE IF IT'S NOT, THEN WHERE WE'RE GOOD WITH WHAT IS PROPOSED RIGHT HERE.
SO I SPOKE WITH, UH, JEAN ABOUT THIS, UH, APPLICANT, AND I THINK THERE'S ONLY SIX FEET AFTER THE DRIVEWAY AND OUR LENGTH FOR A PARKING SPOT, AND THE CITY IS 20 FEET.
WHAT WE CAN DO IS PUT A RED CURVE THERE SO PEOPLE, VEHICLES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK.
THAT WILL BE TO BE SEPARATELY REQUESTED OR CAN YOU GUYS, WE CAN GET, YOU CAN DO IT.
ANYONE ELSE HERE TO SPEAK ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? UM, I JUST HAVE ONE QUICK QUESTION.
I JUST WANTED MAKE IT REALLY QUICK.
UM, BUT CAN WE GO TO THE MAP AND ZOOM OUT? ARE THERE, IS THIS A RESIDENTIAL? OH, UP NORTH.
ARE WE TAKING ANY SPOTS FROM IT'S THAT WAY? THERE YOU GO.
BUSINESSES, UH, THERE BUSINESSES ON THE WEST SIDE AND A, UM, THERE'S A PROPERTY HERE WITH, THERE ARE FRONT E SEVENTH, AND THEY HAVE PLENTY OF PARKING LOT.
ANY OTHER STAFF DISCUSSION? NO, I THINK IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
I FREQUENT THAT AREA AND THERE SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA FOR, BECAUSE THERE'S MULTIPLE BUSINESSES THERE TOO, SO I FEEL LIKE THAT WOULD BE GOOD.
SO I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE DO NOT ONLY THE GREEN CURVE, BUT ALSO THE RED CURVE ALSO, UM, AS PART OF THE ACTION RELEASE.
SO ARLENE, THE SAME, UH, COMMENT APPLIES HERE WHILE WE'VE APPROVED, UH, BOTH THE GREEN CURB AND THEN ALSO THE, THE RED CURB TO BLOCK THE PARKING IN THAT ONE EXTRA LITTLE SPOT.
THE ITEM WILL GO TO THE CITY COUNCIL AS PART OF THEIR CONSENT CALENDAR.
SO THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT WILL NEED TO WAIT UNTIL THE APPROVAL FROM CITY COUNCIL BEFORE THEY GO FORWARD.
WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON, ON WHEN THAT HAPPENS.
HOPEFULLY IT'LL BE IN DECEMBER, BUT IT, GIVEN THE HOLIDAY SCHEDULES AND EVERYTHING, IT, IT COULD PUSH INTO THE, INTO JANUARY.
NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS 2025 DASH 22.
THIS IS THE REQUEST FOR INSTALLATION OF TWO DIFFERENT BLUE CURVES FOR DISABLED PERSON PARKING, UH, WITH SIGNAGE IN FRONT OF THE RESIDENCE AT
[00:20:01]
2 2 1 MELROSE STREET STAFF REPORT.UM, OBJECT MS COURSE OR DO WE YEAH.
DO WE HAVE SOMEONE HERE TO SPEAK? YES.
UH, I, UM, AM A PART OWNER OF THE RESIDENCE TO ADDRESS TO THE REQUEST 1913
AND I JUST WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT, THAT THE BLUE CURRENT DOESN'T, YOU KNOW, ENCROACH ON INTO POVERTY.
SO LET'S HAVE STAFF REPORT AND THEN WE'LL HAVE SOME DISCUSSION IF THAT'S OKAY.
SO ENGINEERING RECEIVED A REQUEST FROM MS. AVILAN RESIDENT OF 2221 MEL ROAD STREET, REQUESTING MULTIPLE LIQUOR, UH, SINGLE PERSON PARKING SPACES IN FRONT OF HER RESIDENCE, UH, FOR HERSELF AND OTHER FAMILY MEMBERS.
UH, IT IS FOUR, UH, RESIDENTS IN TOTAL
UM, SO HER CLAIM IS THAT PARKING IS AN ISSUE ON MILLER STREET, UH, WHICH IS WHY SHE REQUESTED, UM, SPACES IN
UH, STAFF DID CONDUCT A, A SITE VISIT, UH, CONFIRMING MS. S RESIDENCE DOESN'T HAVE A DRIVEWAY AND GARAGE, UH, MEASUREMENTS WERE TAKEN, UH, AND CONFIRMING THAT, UM, BASED ON THE DIMENSION, THE SLOPE, UM, THEY TECHNICALLY DON'T HAVE USABLE HOUSE STREET WORKING.
UM, AS PART OF THE SITE VISIT, UH, WE'LL CONFIRM THERE ARE, UH, THERE'S 36 FEET OF, UH, UH, STREET PARKING FILLED CURB IN FRONT RESIDENCE, WHICH WOULD, UH, ACCOMMODATE, UH, THE TWO SPACES EACH ONE MEASURING 18, UH, TO NICE.
UM, SO JUST ONE THING TO KNOW, THERE IS A LITTLE MORE BLUE CURVE, UH, AREA.
UH, SO JUST REVIEWING THE, THE THREE, UH, VERDICT.
SO THE FIRST ONE, YOU KNOW, POSSESSING THE, UH,
UM, AND THEN, YOU KNOW, JUST GOING BACK ON THE DIMENSIONS OF THE GARAGE AND THE DRIVEWAY, UH, SINCE THAT'S NOT TECHNICALLY CONSIDERED USABLE OFF STREET, THAT CONDITION IS ALSO MET.
UM, SO THEN JUST TO REITERATE, THESE DISABLED PERSON PARKING SPACES, UH, ARE NOT, UM, EXCLUSIVE FOR WHOEVER REQUESTED IT.
UH, SO WITH ALL THAT SAID, THE RECOMMENDATION IS TO INSTALL TO, UH,
YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT COVERAGE FOR THAT AREA.
DOES THAT, UH, LIKE THAT? YEAH, BECAUSE I COULD, I COULD SEE THAT BLUE IS STARTING TO GO, IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S STARTING TO GO PAST, YOU KNOW, THE PROPERTY LINE OF WHERE MINE SEE THOSE HEDGES ON THE FAR LEFT, THAT'S ON MY PROPERTY.
BUT THE PROPERTY, THE STREET PROPERTY IS SEPARATE FROM, FROM PROPERTY LINES FOR THE RESIDENCES.
AND YOU KNOW, YOU DON'T WANT, BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, THE WAY I UNDERSTAND
IT'S JUST AN APPROXIMATE THAT LINE.
YOU KNOW, BUT WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT, SO YEAH, YOU ALSO NOTICE, YEAH, THEY ALSO HAVE THAT OTHER DRIVEWAY TOO.
DID YOU DECIDE, YOU KNOW, WHEN DID YOU DECIDE ABOUT THAT DRIVEWAY? THAT'S RIGHT ON THE OUTSIDE.
SORRY, YOU SAID? YEAH, THAT RIGHT THERE, IT DOESN'T HAVE AN EIGHT THERE.
YEAH, THERE'S NO, UH, IT'S NOT FOR THEM TO DRIVE UP AND PARK THERE.
THAT'S FUNNY BECAUSE THEY, THEY CERTAINLY, THEY HAVEN'T BEEN USING IT LATELY, BUT THEY CERTAINLY PARKED THERE IN THE PAST.
THEN AT SOME POINT THEY, UM, YOU KNOW, THEY PUT THAT DRIVE ANYWAY JUST TO REMEMBER SUCH, UM, THEY USED TO DEPART
SO I, AT SOME POINT THEY DID USE THIS PARKING CASE.
[00:25:01]
CARS? IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S TWO CARS THAT CAN FIT IN THEIR DRIVEWAY CURRENTLY.THAT'S, THAT'S THE OTHER THING THAT'S REALLY INTERESTING.
I MEAN, I MEAN, WHEN WE, WHENEVER THIS PICTURE'S TAKEN, THERE'S ONLY LIKE THAT ONE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY EVERY TIME I GO THERE ON THE WEEKEND, YOU KNOW, THEY CHECK ON MY PROPERTY.
THERE ARE LIKE TWO CARS IN THEIR DRIVEWAY, THREE CARS IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE.
SOME OF 'EM, YOU KNOW, THERE'S BEEN TWO CARS IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE.
THERE'S ALL KINDS OF CAR CARS PARKED THERE.
THAT'S WHY, YOU KNOW, I YOU'RE CONCERNED.
WE RECEIVED THIS, UM, LETTER FROM, UH, NEARBY OPPOSITION, RIGHT? YEAH.
WE WENT THROUGH IT'S AN OPPOSITION.
I DIDN'T SEE SOMEBODY OPPOSED.
OH, REALLY? YOU WANNA SPEAK TO OH, YES, YES.
UM, HI, MY NAME'S MARGARITA FLORES.
I LIVE ACROSS THE STREET FROM 2221.
MY ADDRESS FOR THE RECORD IS 2230.
UM, MY HUSBAND AND MYSELF OWN THAT PROPERTY.
UM, WE, UH, THOSE TWO VEHICLES THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT SIDE, THE RA HYUNDAI AND THE ALTIMA HAVE BEEN THERE FOR FIVE YEARS.
UM, THIS INDIVIDUAL, MS. AVILA, UM, HAS JUST, SHE HAS THIS THING WITH MY HUSBAND WHERE SHE DOES NOT WANT TO MOVE HER CARS.
AND IT'S OKAY, SHE CAN STAY THERE, BUT AS YOU CAN SEE, THERE'S WEEDS GROWING.
UM, WE'VE HAD NOTES PUT ON OUR CARS THAT WE PARK RIGHT OUTSIDE HER STREET OR HER HOUSE.
UM, WE GET THE COPS CALLED ALL THE TIME.
UH, WHEN SHE LEFT THIS NOTE, SHE LEFT IT FOR MY NOW 25-YEAR-OLD SON WHILE I WAS IN CANCUN.
UM, AND I, I DID, UM, I'VE DONE THE CLICK UHHUH.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, SHE HAS CONNECTIONS.
SHE KNOWS THE COP THAT LIVES ON THAT STREET, UM, BROTHER DOWN.
UM, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S A MESS.
ALL THOSE RESIDENTS AND
THESE ARE PICTURES THAT I TOOK THIS MORNING OF THE VEHICLES.
SHE HAS FOUR VEHICLES WITH DISABLED PLATES.
SHE CLAIMS THAT ALL FOUR ARE HERS.
THAT ONE RIGHT THERE IS DRIVEN BY HER MOTHER THAT I THINK GLORIA IS PERZA.
UM, THIS IS THE VEHICLE THAT, LIKE I SAID, THEY'VE BEEN PARKED OUTSIDE MY HOUSE AND LIKE I SAID, I HAVE NO ISSUE, BUT MY GUESTS, MY FAMILY CANNOT PARK IN THAT AREA BECAUSE SHE COMES OUT HARASSING PEOPLE SAYING THAT THEY CANNOT PARK THERE.
UM, THIS IS WHAT HER HOUSE LOOKS LIKE ALL THE TIME.
THAT'S THE ONLY SPOT IN THE STREET THAT IS EMPTY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK THERE.
THAT, UM, IT'S A PATHFINDER HAS EXPIRED LICENSE PLATE AND IT'S FILLED WITH STUFF.
ACTUALLY, ALL THE PARTS ARE FILLED WITH HER BELONGINGS.
UM, THE DRIVEWAY, SHE DOESN'T USE IT.
I DON'T USE MINE, BUT I HAVE FIVE PARKING SPACES IN MY DRIVEWAY AND SHE CLAIMS THAT WHY CAN'T I, I NOT PARK IN MY DRIVEWAY IF I HAVE FIVE SPACES.
IF I WANNA PARK IN THE STREET, I CAN PARK IN THE STREET.
UM, LIKE I SAID, THIS IS THE CARS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN MOVED FOR FIVE YEARS.
SHE ROTATES, I'M SORRY, SHE ROTATES THE VEHICLES.
UM, IF I CALL PARKINSON ENFORCEMENTS, SHE ROTATES THE VEHICLES SO THAT THEY DON'T GET, HER PARKING ENFORCEMENT HAS TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE THEY'RE DISABLED PLATES, SHE CAN BE THERE AS LONG AS SHE WANTS FOR AS MANY YEARS AS SHE WANTS.
THERE ARE WHEAT GROWING UNDERNEATH THE CARS.
WE JUST GOT NEW PAVEMENT A FEW MONTHS AGO.
BUT THERE WAS PUDDLES OF OIL BECAUSE, AND I DO HAVE PICTURES AS WELL OF HER WORKING ON THE CARS, BRINGING MECHANICS TO WORK ON THE CARS BECAUSE THE CARS WORK.
UM, SO I'M OPPOSING TO THAT BECAUSE TO ME AND MY GUEST, THAT IS HER WANTING TO HAVE NOBODY PARKED THERE.
KEEP IN MIND, I HAVE A DISABLED SON WHO'S AN ADULT.
UM, WE DO HAVE TWO, UH, HANDICAP, UH, PLACE.
BUT LIKE I SAID, FOR US IT'S MORE MEANING TO PARK IN
[00:30:01]
A DRIVEWAY.UM, AND ONE OF, OKAY, THIS PICTURE, EXCUSE ME.
UM, SO SHE TENDS TO, SHE LIVES THERE, BUT SHE PARKS TWO HOUSES DOWN BECAUSE SHE HAS ISSUE WITH THESE PEOPLE.
KEEP IN MIND, I, I DON'T KNOW THE PEOPLE IN MY STREET BECAUSE I'M BUSY WORKING.
UM, BUT LIKE I SAID, THIS, THIS PERSON IS DOING NOT BECAUSE OF A NEED FOR HANDICAPPED FOR HERSELF OR HER SIBLINGS OR WHOEVER THE PEOPLE THAT LIVE IN THAT HOUSE ARE, BUT SHE'S DOING IT TO MONOPOLIZE THE PARKING SPACE IN THAT STREET, WHICH EVERYBODY'S ENTITLED TO BECAUSE WE ALL PAY PROPERTY TAXES.
AND IT'S UNFAIR THAT BECAUSE SHE HAS LIVED WITH HER MOTHER FOR THE LAST 53 YEARS, THAT SHE FEELS THAT SHE'S ENTITLED TO DO AS SHE PLEADS WITH THAT STREET.
IF MY FRIEND COMES OVER TO VISIT AND THEY SAY, SHE, I TELL HER, OH, YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST COME ON OVER.
YOU KNOW, WE'LL TAKE MY CAR TO LA HER CAR COULD NOT BE ON THE STREET.
'CAUSE SHE CALLS PARKING ENFORCEMENT LYING SAYING THAT THE CARS HAVE BEEN THERE FOR MORE THAN 72 HOURS.
WHAT DO THEY DO? THEY COME OVER, SLAP THE TICKET OR A WARNING TICKET AND IT'S NOT EVEN TRUE.
YOU KNOW, SO I'M OPPOSING TO THAT BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA GIVE HER CONTROL OF THAT SPACE, WHICH IS, IT IS NOT CORRECT.
IS SHE HERE? I WAS GONNA ASK THAT SAME QUESTION.
UM, SO DO YOU NOTICE THAT SHE HAS CARS? IT'S REALLY INTERESTING THAT THERE'S, THESE PICTURES HAVE, EVERY TIME I GO THERE ON THE WEEKEND AND CHECK ON THE HOUSE, THEY HAVE CARS PARKED IN FRONT OF MY ONE, MY, YOU KNOW THAT PLANE IN YOUR YARD? OH YEAH.
AND THEY DO THEIR STUFF IN MY YARD.
UM, IS, IS THIS PERSON WHO WROTE THIS HERE TODAY AS WELL? OR IS THIS AN ADDITIONAL PERSON? AN, I'M NOT SURE WHAT IT IS.
IT'S A LETTER BY A RESIDENT OPPOSING THE YEAH, IT'S ADDITIONAL.
AND THEN, SO THIS IS 22, A PERSON AT, UH, 2230 MILLIGRAM.
I HAVE SOME, UH, LETTER OF, HI, UH, GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE.
UM, I, UH, I WROTE THAT LETTER.
I'M NO PARKING ENFORCEMENT OFFICER THAT LIVES ON THAT STREET.
AND UH, ALSO CLOSEST TO THAT I'VE NEVER MET YOU.
MY NAME, UM, JUST UM, FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW, I DO NOT WORK ON MY OWN STREET.
SO THEREFORE I DO NOT RESPOND TO ANY OF THE COMPLAINTS, BUT I DO FEEL HOW WE FEEL
I HONESTLY, BECAUSE IT'S, THAT'S OKAY.
UM, IT'S A VERY DIFFICULT PERSON SITUATION.
BUT I'M THE ONLY ONE BECAUSE I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH FOR YEARS.
THANK FOR THE REQUEST THAT SHE BE HERE.
AND, AND SOMEBODY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND SOMETHING.
I TOOK TIME OFF MY WORK TO BE HERE.
I'M ALSO DISABLED VETERAN UP VISIT HER QUITE OFTEN.
UM, BECAUSE LIKE SHE STATED, SHE WORKS FROM HOME.
SO I'M A RETIRED VET, SO I DO VISIT HER.
AND EVERY TIME IT SEEMS LIKE THERE EYEBALLS THAT ARE IN YOUR FOREHEAD, LITERALLY YOU FEEL THREATENED BECAUSE YEAH.
ONE TIME, UH, MADDIE CALLED ME FROM THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE SHE HAD, SHE SLEPT HOME BECAUSE SHE HAD A FLAT TIRE AND JUST HAPPENED THAT HER CAR WAS PARKED IN HER PROPERTY.
AND SO SHE HAD PUT A NAIL IN HER TIRE.
SO IT IS BEEN, UH, SHE, SHE'S VERY VICIOUS TOWARDS EVERYTHING BECAUSE THE MINUTE YOU PARK IN HER SPOT, IT SEEMS LIKE SHE OPENS HER GARAGE AND SHE WOULD BE EYEBALLING YOU THE TIME FROM THE TIME YOU PARK UNTIL THE TIME YOU LEAVE.
AND LIKE I STATED, LIKE YOU CANNOT PARK THERE KNOWING THAT FEAR IS THAT YOU, SOMETHING'S GONNA HAPPEN TO YOUR CAR OR SOMETHING TO YOU, OR THEY'RE GONNA TOW YOUR VEHICLE.
UH, IT'S UM, SHE ALSO USES THE TRASH PINS.
UH, OUR TRASH PINS ON MONDAY, FRIDAY.
HER TRASH PINS ARE THERE BLOCKING THE SPACE.
IF SHE SEES THAT I'M GETTING MY HOUSE READY TO HAVE A GATHERING, SHE PUTS THE TRASH THERE.
HE'S 68 AND DISABLED, DISABLED AS WELL AS MY, OUR SON, HIS SON, MY STEPSON.
[00:35:01]
UM, SHE'S MADE IT TO COME OUT TO WORK DISRESPECTING MY HUSBAND USING F LANGUAGE, CALLING MY STEPSON WHO IS A BOT.UH, SHE USED THE WORD, YOUR A BAD WORD.
THAT'S ONGOING, PLEASE DON OVER THERE UNLESS YOU CALL THEM.
I'M GOING TO MAKE THEM VERY, WE'LL HAVE MORE COMMENT HERE IN ONE MOMENT.
I DO WANNA TAKE ADVANTAGE OF, UH, COMMITTEE MEMBER HERE THAT, UH, BEFORE SHE HAS TO LEAVE MY RECOMMENDATION, UH, I MOTION IS THAT WE CONTINUE THIS ITEM.
WE NOT APPROVE IT TODAY SINCE, UH, SUSANNA ISN'T HERE AND HAS NO ONE SPEAKING FOR HER, I'D LIKE TO REQUEST THAT, UH, WHEN WE DO CONTINUE, WHEN THIS ITEM IS, DOES COME BACK ON THE AGENDA, THAT WE REQUEST THAT THE SHE BE HERE, UM, TO SPEAK TO THIS ITEM.
BUT IS IT FAIR THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE OUT OF WORK TO, FOR HER, SHE HAS THE SAME OPTION.
SHE DOESN'T WORK THE SAME JOB.
SO IS IT FAIR THAT WE HAVE SHE KNOW AN ISSUE? YEAH.
THAT THEY HAVE TO TAKE OFF FROM WORK AND I'M SORRY.
LIKE, NO, I DON'T THINK, I DON'T THINK IT'S BECAUSE THE REASON, UM, THE MEETING IS ENDING.
'CAUSE SHE HAS TO BE, SHE HAS A, UM, APPOINTMENT.
THIS AGAIN, YOU DON'T, YOU DON'T NEED TO COME NEXT TIME BECAUSE VOICE.
WE HAVE YOUR, WE HAVE ALL YOUR COMMENTS ON THE RECORD.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE'RE STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN.
AND YOU KNOW WHAT, JUST LEMME KNOW IF I HAVE TIME AND I'LL, I'LL BE HERE BECAUSE LIKE I SAID, UM, AND ALSO JUST TO KEEP YOU ON THE LOOP, BE PREPARED BECAUSE SHE HAS NO RESPECT FOR POLICE OFFICER.
BUT EVEN THE, THE PREVIOUS MAYOR, SHE WORKED, SHE
SO EVERYTHING THAT'S DISCUSSED TODAY WILL BE CAPTURED.
OH, IT'S BEING RECORDED TOO OPEN.
AND SHE HAS TO BE SO THEN HAVE, YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
UM, OTHERWISE WE WON'T BE ABLE TO VOTE ON IT.
SO THAT'S WHY THERE HAS TO BE THREE, AT LEAST THREE.
UH, THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL OF YOU.
AND I'M SO SORRY THAT THIS IS HAPPENING.
UM, AND I'M SORRY THAT YOU HAD TO TAKE OFF WORK TODAY.
UM, BUT YOUR VOICES ARE HEARD.
WE'VE ALL TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT EVERYTHING THAT, THAT YOU GUYS HAVE SAID AND, AND PROVIDED FOR US AS WELL.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION AS WELL AND HAVE EVERYBODY'S VOICE ON, ON CAMERA.
BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, I MAKE A MOTION THAT WE CONTINUE THIS ITEM AND REQUEST, UH, THE SUSANNA AVILA TO BE PRESENT AT THE NEXT MEETING WHERE THIS DOES GET CONSIDERED.
THANK SO LET'S CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION.
ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO, OR YOU GUYS ARE WELCOME TO ADD MORE TO THE MORE TO THE DISCUSSION FOR MY OWN KNOWLEDGE, LIKE BE SAID THAT THE CHIEF DONE FOR THAT.
IN FRONT OF MY FRIEND, COLLEAGUE, HE SAID THEY STAY THERE FOREVER.
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IN REGARDS TO THAT? I'M NOT SURE.
CAN WE, IS THERE OPEN UP
UH, OUR, UM, LOOK AT THE TRASH ON MONDAY, THE TUESDAY THE, UH, STREET SWEEPER PASSES BY, BUT THEY DON'T DO ANYTHING BECAUSE THE PARTS DON'T MOVE.
THERE IS A, THE ORDINANCE FOR TRA UH, TRASH IS THE, THE CANS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE OUT ON THE STREET UNTIL THE, THE NIGHT OF TOUCH.
SO IT IS NOT CORRECT FOR THEM TO BE OUT ON THE STREET AT OTHER TIMES.
SO THE DAY BEFORE WHEN YOU HAVE PARTY'S, YOU KNOW, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
SO TO GET ENFORCEMENT OF THAT ITEM IS SET ALSO A CLICK FIX OR IS THERE IT IT IS A CODE VIOLATION.
IF I THINK IT BE THE PHONE NUMBER FOR NEIGHBOR SERVICES CALL, UM, I DO THE, UH,
ON MY PHONE, BUT NOBODY, SHE'S SUCH A TROUBLED PERSON.
CAN I, I I PLEASE YOU, ME, PLEASE.
I JUST WANNA READ MY LETTER I WROTE NOW.
[00:40:01]
RESIDENT HERE IN NATIONAL CITY NEXT WEEK IN OPPOSITION TO THE REQUEST OF THE TWO DESIGNATED BLUE CAR, BLUE CURVE DISABLED PARKING AT 2221 MEADOW STREET.I WANNA MAKE IT CLEAR THAT I DEEPLY SUPPORT ACCESSIBILITY FOR RESIDENTS WHO GENUINELY NEEDED FIREWOOD.
THIS REQUEST DOES NOT REFLECT THE TRUE PARKING HARDSHIP OR LACK OF ACCOMMODATION AT THE PROPERTY.
THE RESIDENT HAS A TWO CAR GARAGE AND THE DRIVER THAT FITS TWO MORE VEHICLES, YET NEITHER SPACE IS USED FOR PARKING.
INSTEAD, THE GARAGE AND THE DRIVEWAY ARE USED FOR STORAGE OR OTHER PURPOSES.
THIS HOUSEHOLD HAS FOUR VEHICLES WITH DISABLED PLATES PLUS TWO ADDITIONAL THAT'S LINGERING AROUND THE STREETS.
MANY OF WHICH ARE, MANY OF WHICH ARE REGULARLY PARKED ON THE STREET.
DESPITE SOME OF THEM NOT BEING DRIVEN AT ALL FOR YEARS, AS
INSTEAD, THESE CARS ARE BEING USED AS EXTRA STORAGE UNITS.
THIS ALREADY LIMITS PARKING AVAILABILITY FOR NEIGHBORS AND GRANTING THESE TWO ADDITIONAL WOOD PROOF SPACES WITH EFFECTIVELY GRANT THIS HOUSEHOLD PERMANENT EXCLUSIVE USE OF THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY.
THERE IS ALSO RECURRING ISSUE WITH THE RESIDENT, MAYBE HANDWRITTEN NOTES ON CARS, AS
THIS BEHAVIOR HAS CREATED ONGOING TENSION AND DISCOURAGES OTHER DISABLED DRIVERS FROM PARKING THERE, EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE PUBLIC SPACES AND THAT SHE HAS MENTIONED MOST OF THE STREET, THEY'RE ELDERLY PEOPLE SO THEY HAVE TO WALK HALF A WALK OR MORE JUST TO GET TO THEIR OWN HOMES.
UH, AS MENTIONED TOO, I'M ALSO A FRIEND OF HERS AND I'VE KNOWN HER SINCE ABOUT 2020.
UH, I LIVE DOWN THE STREET OR ON FIRST STREET AS SHE MENTIONED.
SHE HAS A DISABLED SON AND SOMETIMES HER HUSBAND HAS MEDICAL ISSUES.
SO WHEN SHE NEEDS SOMETHING SHE CALLS US AND WE RUN OVER THERE, WALK, DRIVE OVER THERE.
AND THEN, UM, R AND I HAVE DEATH, HEART ISSUES, TRYING TO FIND ANY PARKING, TRYING TO GET THERE.
UH, AND HOW MANY TIMES DO YOU CALL THE AMBULANCE FOR YOUR SON? ONCE A MONTH.
AND THEN THAT'S ANOTHER ISSUE.
YOU KNOW, SHE HAS HER CARS THERE, SHE'S TRYING TO MOVE THEM, TRYING TO GET THE AMBULANCE BECAUSE THE AMBULANCE CAN'T REALLY PARK ON THE STREET 'CAUSE HER SON IS LITERALLY.
SO IT'S JUST A LOT THAT WE TRY TO GET THERE AS FRIENDS TO HELP AND SEE WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND IT'S JUST THIS BIG ORDEAL.
AND YOU GUYS KNOW THE SPOT, IF WE HAVE TO FIND PARKING, WE HAVE TO GO ALMOST NEAR ALTO.
AND THERE'S NO WAY AS A SINGLE LADY, I'M GONNA GO DOWN THERE WHERE IT'S DANGEROUS, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE OFFICERS THAT WON'T LISTEN YOU PART OF PROBLEMS GOING.
SO IT MAKES IT EXTREMELY SCARY, UH, TO GO OVER THERE.
UH, SO I VISIT HER, UM, I VISIT MY CLOSE FRIEND WHO LIVES DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET FROM THIS RESIDENCE.
PARKING HAS BEEN COMING RECENTLY DIFFICULT.
MY FRIEND'S HOUSEHOLD HAS THREE FAMILY MEMBERS, TWO OF WHOM HAVE VALID HANDICAP PLACARDS, AND MANY OF US WHO VISIT OUR RETIRED MILITARY VETERANS WITH HANDICAPPED PLACARDS AS WELL.
YET WE ARE OFTEN DIVORCED TO PARK BLOCKS AWAY OR DEAL WITH MILLS PLACED ON THEIR VEHICLES.
I DO WANNA MENTION THAT IN THE TIMES THAT I HAVE BEEN OVER THERE, UM, IT'S LIKE SHE, SHE KNOWS WHO WE ARE AND, UH, ANY SHE HAS, UM, WE SAID ELABORATE HARASSED US ON SOCIAL MEDIA AS WELL, THAT SHE KNOWS OUR NAMES.
AND IF WE POST ANYTHING LIKE ON I OF NATIONAL CITY OR NATIONAL CITY NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH, SHE WILL, SHE'S ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT GOES THERE AND JUST MAKES NASTY COMMENTS ABOUT ANYTHING.
I CAN POST SOMETHING NICE I OF NATIONAL CITY AND SHE'LL COME OUT WITH RANDOM STUFF BECAUSE OF THE, SO I WANNA MAKE THAT, THAT IT'S ON UNFAIR.
SO FOR ALL THESE REASONS, I RESPECTFULLY URGE THE COMMITTEE TO DENY THIS REQUEST.
AT A MINIMUM, IF THE COMMITTEE DOES FEEL THAT COMPELLED TO APPROVE ANYTHING, IT SHOULD BE LIMITED TO AT LEAST ONE SPACE WITH CLEAR CONDITIONS ENSURING THAT IT IS USED PROPERLY BY ALL THE RESIDENTS ON THE STREET NOT TO BE INDEFINITELY, UH, FOR BIRTHDAYS.
ANYONE ON GONE? UM, MY GUYS ARE GONE.
ANYONE ELSE HERE SPEAKING ON THIS PARTICULAR ITEM? OKAY.
THEN WE'LL CLOSE OUT DISCUSSION OF THIS ITEM WHEN IT DOES GET CONTINUED, UH, WHEN IT DOES APPEAR, HOPEFULLY SHE'LL SHOW AND WE CAN CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION WITH HER.
UM, AND IF SHE DOESN'T SHOW, WILL YOU JUST MAKE THE DECISION? AND AGAIN, MY QUESTION IS, IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BE DONE IN REGARDS TO THOSE VEHICLES BEING PARKED FOR SUCH A LONG TIME WITH A BUNCH OF TRASH IN IT OR THERE'S THE 72 2 HOUR RULE? YEAH.
[00:45:01]
HOW THAT GOES.UM, DO YOU, IS THERE ANYTHING ELSE ON THERE ON THE BOOKS THAT WE SHOULD BE, HOW OFTEN DOES THE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS TO POST IT SAYING THAT THERE'S, IN ORDER TO TALK THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED? YEAH.
UM, WE CAN SEARCH ON THAT, BUT YEAH, WE HAVE SEVEN TWO HOURS, UM, UH, RESTRICTION AND THAT SHOULD BE COVERED.
YOUR CONCERN, BUT, UH, UM, EVEN WITH HANDICAP.
EVEN WITH HANDICAPS? I BELIEVE SO.
YOU PERSONALLY SPOKE WITH WHAT? THE PERSON IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES WITH THE PHONE AS THE MANAGER FOR PARKING.
HE TOLD ME HIS WORDS THAT CAN BE PARKED ON THE STREET AS LONG AS THEY NEED TO VERIFY THAT.
SO A TAKES TWO HOURS AND, AND YES.
GREEN CURB, THEY ARE EXTENDED TO THEM.
SO MAYBE, YEAH, BECAUSE I TOLD MAYBE THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE TIME PARKING, BUT THEY ARE NOT SENT TO 72.
THAT WAS MY UNDERSTANDING AS WELL.
MINE, HOWEVER, THE WAY IT WORKS, AND THAT'S WHY SHE WAS SAYING THAT IT IS, YOU KNOW, IT'S, IT'S, IT'S UNFORTUNATE IS THAT THE WAY IT WORKS, ONCE THE VEHICLES TAG SINCE NOW WE TAG THEM WITH, UM, UH, DIG CHALK MM-HMM
ONCE WE RETURN, IF THE VALVE DO NOT ALIGN AND IT WILL NOT ALIGN IF THE BE WAS, GETS, GETS WEAK, WE NAME IT, WE CANNOT ETHICALLY ISSUE A CITATION GOT.
AND THAT'S EXACTLY, WHICH I CANNOT SAY EXACTLY FOR SURE BECAUSE I SAID I DO NOT ENFORCE ON THAT.
BUT I KNOW MY COWORKER HE HAS SO, YOU KNOW, IF THEY CANNOT ENFORCE, IT'S BECAUSE THE VEHICLES ARE NOT COMPLYING AS FAR AS THE, OKAY.
SO WE'LL TAKE A LOOK AT THAT REGULATION AND SEE IF THERE, IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO, TO ENHANCE THE ENFORCEMENT LEGAL FOR US, UM, TO GO IN THE, ON THE STREET, TAKE THE PICTURE AND SAY IT IS JANUARY 12TH, HERE'S THE CARD TOMORROW, JANUARY 13TH IF WE SUBMIT THAT.
IF YOU SUBMIT THAT, IF YOU DO THAT, THERE'S NOTHING ILLEGAL ABOUT THAT.
TOOLS OUT OF OUR THREE FOR ENFORCEMENT, ENFORCEMENT, ENFORCEMENT VEHICLES ARE QUICK.
THIS SAME SYSTEM, WHICH IS THE LPR SYSTEM.
SO WE, YOU DID NOT HAVE TO LITERALLY SEE THE OFFICER COME OUT OF THE CAR, UH, FOR THOSE TWO VEHICLES AS LONG AS YOU PROMPTED FOR THE ENTIRE BLOCK TO CHOP ALL THE VEHICLES VIA LPR CAMERA TO, UH, FOR 72 HOURS, THEY CAN JUST DRIVE BY THE STREET AND IT GETS, UM, DIGITALLY BY.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING US AWARE OF THE ISSUES.
I'M SORRY YOU HAD TO TAKE OFF TIME FROM WORK TO DO THIS, BUT I'M GRATEFUL 'CAUSE OTHERWISE, WITHOUT YOUR INPUT WE MIGHT HAVE MADE A BAD DECISION.
I'M NOT, UM, WE CAN USE COURSE.
SO WE'RE MOVING ON TO ITEM FOUR ON OUR AGENDA, WHICH IS WELL, UH, ITEM NUMBER 2 0 2 5 DASH 23.
THIS IS OUR PRESENTATION ON THE SUSTAINABILITY NATIONAL CITY SUSTAINABILITY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING PATIENT THROUGH ALL OF THAT AND WITH OUR
[00:50:12]
WONDER ALL ALL.UH, SO TODAY, TODAY WE, WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU A, A PRESENTATION, UM, FOR THE PREVIEW, RIGHT? YEAH.
IT IS A NEW, IT IS A NEW GRANT THAT THE CITY RECEIVED FROM CALTRANS, UH, THROUGH THEIR COMPETITIVE, UH, SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES, UH, TRANSPORTATION PLANNING PROGRAM.
SO, UH, WE APPLIED FOR THIS, UH, A WHILE BACK AND IT IS, UH, JUST OVER $420,000.
AND IT IS TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY TO, UM, PREPARE A SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY PLAN FOR NATIONAL CITY.
SO, UH, WITH US TODAY, WE HAVE, UM, OUR CONSULTANT TEAM THAT IS GONNA BE HELPING OUR, OUR STAFF WITH THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND ANALYSIS AND IDENTIFYING PRIORITY PROJECTS IN EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE CITY.
UH, THESE PROJECTS WILL BE RELATED TO, UM, ACCESSIBILITY AND SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS, UH, FOR PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS THROUGHOUT THE CITY.
THAT'S THE, THE MAIN FOCUS OF, OF PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS IS THE PRIORITY.
SO WITH THAT, I'M GONNA INTRODUCE, UM, OUR CONSULTANT PROJECT MANAGER, AMY ELLI, UH, FROM KIMLEY HORN, AND THEN WE ALSO HAVE KRISTEN COPELAND.
LIKE, LIKE THE BIRD, KRISTEN HAM FROM AL AL TO PLANNING WHO'S GONNA LEAD OUR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT COMPONENT.
SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN OVER TO AMY AND SHE WILL GIVE AN OVERVIEW OF THE PROJECT AND SHE'S ALSO GONNA TALK ABOUT YOUR ROLE, UM, AS TRAFFIC SAFETY COMMITTEE MEMBERS IN THIS PROJECT.
I THINK WE ALREADY WENT OVER INTRODUCTIONS, BUT UM, AFTER THAT WE'RE GONNA GO INTO PROJECT OVERVIEW, LIKE STEVE SAID, TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE OUTREACH PLANNING, UM, AND THEN REVIEW THE PROJECTS MAP THAT WE'VE PUT TOGETHER AND SOME PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA.
SO FOR THE PROJECT OVERVIEW, UM, FIND THAT, WAIT, I GUESS.
BASICALLY, WE'RE JUST TRYING TO TELL YOU WHAT OUR TASKS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS, UM, PROJECT.
SO BREAKING IT DOWN INTO SIX DIFFERENT TASKS, TWO OF THOSE TASKS INVOLVE, UM, OUTREACH AND ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETINGS THAT HAPPEN THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS.
AND THEN DOES IT, UM, DEAL WITH ANY OF THE, THE, THE WATERFRONT AREAS, LIKE THE, UM, IT DOES, IT DOESN'T ADDRESS
THERE WON'T BE PROJECTS THAT LOOK AT CONNECTIVITY OKAY.
BETWEEN NEIGHBORHOODS AND SCHOOLS AND PARKS OR TRANSIT CENTERS.
UM, ACCESS TO THE WORKING WATERFRONT AND, UH, PORT AREA.
SO TO START WITH TASK ONE, WE'RE DOING AN EXISTING CONDITIONS TASK.
UM, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE PLANNING DOCUMENTS THAT ARE ALREADY EXISTING TODAY.
AND, YOU KNOW, THE REASON THAT STEVE WANTED TO HAVE THIS PARTICULAR PLAN WAS THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF, UM, PLANNING THAT'S BEEN DONE ON THE WEST SIDE, AS YOU MENTIONED, NOT AS MUCH ON THE EAST SIDE.
AND SO, UM, AS WE GET INTO THE OUTREACH, WE'LL TALK ABOUT HOW WE'RE GONNA BASICALLY MAKE SURE THAT ALL OF THIS PLANNING IS CITYWIDE AND DIVERSIFIED ACROSS ALL OF THE DIFFERENT NEIGHBORHOODS AND THE DIFFERENT PARKS AND CITY
UM, SO IN THIS TASK ONE AREA WE HAVE, UM, GOING TO THE PUBLIC AND ALSO TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AS WE ARE HERE TODAY, TO LOOK AT THE, UM, PRIORITIZATION FRAMEWORK AND FINALIZE THAT OR, OR FINALIZE IT FOR THE PUBLIC ESSENTIALLY.
UM, AND THEN IN TASK TWO WE'LL DO A FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT.
UM, WE'LL LOOK AT ALL OF THE ENTIRE PROJECTS LIST AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE FEASIBLE FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE.
UM, WE'LL ANALYZE EACH OF THE PROJECTS BASED ON THE DIFFERENT PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA, AND THEN WE WILL, AS A RESULT, HAVE A LIST OF PRIORITIZED PROJECTS.
CITYWIDE BASICALLY GIVES A FRAMEWORK FOR THE CITY TO SAY, AS FUNDING BECOMES AVAILABLE OR AS GRANT APPLICATIONS BECOME AVAILABLE, HERE'S THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS THAT ARE MOST IN NEED, UM, THAT, THAT WOULD
[00:55:01]
BE PRIORITIZED TO GO AFTER.WHO, WHO DECIDES THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA? SO WE WILL GIVE SOME CRITERIA HERE TODAY.
AS EXAMPLES AND RECOMMEND, RECOMMEND BASICALLY OUR CRITERIA CHARACTERIZATIONS.
AND THEN WE WILL HAVE, WE'LL GO OUT TO THE PUBLIC TO ASK THEM TO WEIGHT THOSE CRITERIA.
SO IT'S COMMUNITY DRIVEN, IT'S COMBINATION.
AND SO THEN, UM, ON THE RIGHT COLUMN THERE, WE HAVE TASK FIVE AND SIX, WHICH IS BASICALLY DEVELOPING THE FINAL PLAN, UM, AND TAKING IT TO, UH, PLANNING COMMISSION AND CITY COUNCIL FOR APPROVAL.
AND FEEDBACK LOOPS ALL IN BETWEEN THERE.
SO JUST ONE, ONE THING I'M WANTING TO NOTE.
YOU LOOK AT THE PURPLE, YOU CAN SEE THE, THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH OF THE PUBLIC OUTREACH.
IT, IT, IT STARTS, UM, IT, IT STARTS EARLY ON IN THE PROCESS AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY THROUGH.
SO THERE'S A LOT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF INFORMATION AND, AND ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS THAT WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING TO DO WITH THE PUBLIC, WHICH AMY AND KRISTEN WILL, WILL GET INTO.
BUT JUST AS AN EXAMPLE, UM, AND, AND AMY WE'LL GET INTO THIS WHEN SHE TALKS ABOUT THIS, LOOKING AT ALL THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS AND PLANNING LEVEL DOCUMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN PREPARED, IT IS AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP BECAUSE WE WANNA SEE NOT IN THE BOOKS TODAY THAT OUR COUNCIL HAS ADOPTED AS SUPPORTED BY THE COMMUNITY.
SO THAT COULD BE OUR BICYCLE MASTER PLAN, IT COULD BE FOCUS, GENERAL PLAN, AND THEN WE START TO OVERLAY ALL THESE DIFFERENT PROJECTS, WHICH OF THESE PROJECTS HAS BEEN COMPLETED, WHICH OF 'EM HAVE FUNDING AND ARE IN VARIOUS STAGES OF DESIGN CONSTRUCTION, AND WHICH OF THESE PROJECTS DON'T HAVE FUNDING? IT'S AN OPPORTUNITY TO REVISIT THOSE PROJECTS TO SEE IF THEY'RE TRULY PRIORITY FOR THE CITY.
AND THEN THE SECOND STEP IS, AS WE WORK THROUGH THE COMMUNITY OUTREACH, ARE THERE GAPS OR OTHER PROJECTS AND OTHER AREAS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE RESIDENTS THAT WE LOOK AT OPPORTUNITIES FOR SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY ENHANCEMENTS.
SO THIS TRULY THEN BECOMES A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN FOCUSED ON HEAD AND BIKE SAFETY AND ACCESSIBILITY.
AND THAT'S, THAT'S OUR ULTIMATE GOAL AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS.
AND THEN WHEN WE HAVE A PLAN LIKE THIS THAT IS SUPPORTED BY THE COMMUNITY, IS ADOPTED BY THE COUNCIL, IT THEN GIVES US, UM, A LOT BETTER STANDING AND GO OUT AND APPLY FOR GRANTS TO GET CAPITAL FUNDING TO ACTUALLY BUILD THE PROJECT BECAUSE WE CAN THEN IN THOSE GRANT APPLICATIONS SHOW THAT WE HAD THIS ROBUST COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROCESS SUPPORT, WHICH DROVE THESE PRIORITY PROJECTS.
AND NOW WE'RE ASKING FOR MONEY TO IMPLEMENT THESE PRIORITY PROJECTS.
SO THIS IS A, ANYTIME WE CAN GET GRANT FUNDING TO GO THROUGH, UM, THIS LEVEL OF COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT TO BET PROJECTS, PRIORITIZE PROJECTS, IT REALLY INCREASES OUR CHANCES OF GETTING COMPETITIVE GRANT FUNDING TO BUILD PROJECTS.
SO I JUST WANNA SET THE CONTEXT FOR WHY THESE, THESE PLANNING OPPORTUNITIES WHICH COME AROUND ONCE EVERY, YOU KNOW, FIVE YEARS OR SO, ARE SO IMPORTANT, SO VALUABLE.
AND I THINK THERE'S VALUABLE JUST BIT OF BACKGROUND THAT WE'VE JUST COME OFF A COUPLE DIFFERENT, UM, UH, THINGS.
USDG FUELS IS ONE WHERE THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF COMMUNITY, UH, ORGANIZATIONS, RESIDENTS, UH, WORKING TOGETHER, UH, BUSINESS BUSINESSES, ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO, UM, TO ACHIEVE COMMUNITY GOALS, UH, WITH THE CITY.
IN THIS CASE IT WAS ACTUALLY TO DEFEAT, UH, WITH USDG FUELS TO GET THAT DONE.
WE'RE FRESH NOW WITH THOSE RELATIONSHIPS.
AND I THINK RELATIONSHIPS, AS WE TALK ABOUT DOING THE PUBLIC OUTREACH, COMMUNITY PARTNERS, UH, ARE SUPER IMPORTANT TO ENGAGE AND HAVING THAT OUTREACH BE SUCCESSFUL.
UM, AND FURTHERMORE TOO, AS WE GO FORWARD, THERE'S A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT THINGS GOING ON.
UH, THE GREEN CORRIDOR PROJECT, THE NAME WITH BROWNFIELD, UH, WHERE THOSE RELATIONSHIPS CAN, IF WE CAN DO THE OUTREACH WELL AND ENGAGE, UH, THE EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE INVOLVED IN PROJECTS LIKE THAT, THEN WE'LL BE IN A MUCH BETTER, STRONGER POSITION OR GO FORWARD GRANT APPLICATIONS.
UH, MOST OF THE FUNDERS THAT I KNOW OF THESE DAYS ARE LOOKING FOR PARTNERSHIPS AND, YOU KNOW, REALLY COMMUNITY WIDE ENGAGEMENT, WHICH THESE ARE PROBABLY THINGS YOU ALREADY KNOW, BUT, UH, JUST WANT TO REINFORCE THAT WITH THE CAN.
IF WE CAN INVOLVE AS MANY OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN ACTIVE, ESPECIALLY
[01:00:01]
ACTIVE RECENTLY, UH, AS WE GO FORWARD, I THINK WILL BE, WELL THE CITY WILL BE WELL SERVED.THAT THAT'S REALLY VALUABLE FEEDBACK.
AND, AND HONESTLY, YOU KNOW, AMY'S GONNA GET INTO WITH THAT, THAT'S REALLY YOUR ROLE AT YOU.
YOU GUYS, PER OUR GRANT AGREEMENT, ARE GONNA SERVE AS THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND, AND GIVING US RECOMMENDATIONS, SUGGESTIONS, AND FEEDBACK TO HELP GUIDE THESE PROCESSES.
UM, WHAT YOU'RE GONNA FIND IS THAT WE HAVE CERTAIN TASKS AND GOALS WE HAVE TO ACCOMPLISH FOR THE GRANT.
HOWEVER, OUR APPROACH AND METHODOLOGY CAN BE DRIVEN BY FEEDBACK FROM YOU AS COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND FEEDBACK FROM THE PUBLIC.
SO WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT, UH, TAKING AN INITIAL STEP TO REVISIT WHAT ORGANIZATIONS ARE ALREADY WORKING TOWARDS SIMILAR GOALS AND PARTNERING AND GETTING THEIR FEEDBACK AS PART OF THE OUTREACH, I THINK THAT'S A REALLY, UH, VALUABLE, UM, YOU KNOW, RECOMMENDATION.
UH, PART OF THAT SHOULD BE TOO, I THINK, SO WE TALK ABOUT ACCESSIBILITY, BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT IF, UH, JUST FOR ONE EXAMPLE, IF IF AIR POLLUTION IS BAD, I DON'T CARE HOW ACCESSIBLE WE MAKE THINGS, PEOPLE ARE NOT GONNA JUMP ON THEIR, HAVE THEIR KIDS GO OUT ON THEIR BIKE, THEIR KIDS HAVE ASTHMA.
UH, THAT WOULD BE EXACTLY THE WRONG THING TO DO IF AIR QUALITY IS REALLY BAD.
SO IN TERMS OF ACHIEVING THE GOAL HERE, WHICH IS SUSTAINABLE ACCESSIBILITY, UH, CLIMATE, YOU KNOW, CLIMATE ISSUES, HEAT ISSUES, UM, ARE CERTAINLY, UM, YOU KNOW, NOT JUST HOW WE MOVE AROUND, IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT MOBILITY, BUT ENSURING THAT THE ENTIRE PICTURE OF, UH, WHAT IMPACTS, UH, USE OF, OF UM, ACCESSIBILITY, UH, IS I THINK GONNA BE SUPER IMPORTANT FOR US TO GAIN COMMUNITY SUPPORT.
SO HERE WE'VE GOT OUR, UH, SCHEDULE UP ON THE SCREEN NOW.
UM, AND SO STICKING WITH THAT PURPLE COLOR THAT YOU SAW BEFORE, UM, DOWN BELOW YOU CAN SEE ALL THE OUTREACH OPPORTUNITIES SPANS BASICALLY FROM HERE TODAY ALMOST, UM, ALL THE WAY, ALMOST TO THE END OF THE PROJECT WHEN WE GO TO CITY COUNCIL ADOPTION.
SO YOU CAN SEE THE, THE FOUR TASKS UP AT THE TOP THAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, THAT'S KIND OF THE, THE WORK THAT'S BEING DONE.
AND THEN THE OUTREACH, UM, ELEMENTS AT THE BOTTOM THAT ARE, YOU KNOW, PROVIDING FEEDBACK LOOPS INTO THOSE TASKS.
UM, SO KRISTEN, WE'LL GET INTO THE DETAIL ON EACH OF THESE DIFFERENT, UH, OUTREACH ELEMENTS, BUT BIG PICTURE WE'RE GONNA HAVE, UM, OUTREACH PHASE ONE, WE'RE GONNA HAVE WALK AUDITS AND KRISTEN WILL TELL YOU MORE ABOUT THE DETAILS OF THAT.
WE'LL HAVE THREE POPUP EVENTS, OUTREACH PHASE TWO, WE'LL HAVE A COMMUNITY WORKSHOP.
AND THEN OUTREACH PHASE THREE, WE'LL HAVE THE COMMUNITY ACTUALLY WEIGH IN ON THE PLAN ITSELF.
UM, AND THEN WE'VE GOT THOSE THREE POPUPS ONE ALREADY SCHEDULED HERE FOR, UM, 1213 AT THE KIMBALL HOLIDAY EVENT.
AND WE'VE GOT ONE ON THE BOOKS ALREADY.
YEAH, THAT'S, AND THAT'S A REALLY, THAT SHOULD BE WELL TO THAT'S A VERY GOOD CHOICE.
SO MOVING ON TO THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE'S ROLE.
UM, SO TODAY HERE WE'RE LOOKING FOR SOME FEEDBACK ON THE OUTREACH PLAN ITSELF AS WELL AS THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER.
AND THEN IN THE FUTURE, SOME FEEDBACK THAT WE'RE HOPING TO GET IS, UM, YOU KNOW, ON THE, THE WALK BY WALK BY AUDIT AND SURVEY FEEDBACK RESULTS, WE'LL BE PRESENTING THOSE TO YOU ALL AND, UM, GETTING FEEDBACK THERE.
AND THEN IN MEETING NUMBER THREE, WE'LL BE PRESENTING THE PRIORITIZED PROJECTS LIST.
AND THEN IN MEETING NUMBER FOUR, WE'LL BE PRESENTING THE DRAFT, UM, SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY PLAN.
AND ALL OF THESE WILL BE PRESENTED TO YOU ALL BEFORE IT GOES TO THE PUBLIC, ESSENTIALLY.
UM, AND, AND AS STEVE MENTIONED EARLIER, YOU KNOW, FEEDBACK SUCH AS YOU'VE ALREADY GIVEN CYNTHIA IS, IS HELPFUL WITH IN TERMS OF RELATIONSHIPS, ADVERTISING, HOW DO WE GET, HOW DO WE MAXIMIZE PARTICIPATION AT THESE EVENTS TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR FEEDBACK IS, IS BALLISTIC AND COMPREHENSIVE FOR THE WHOLE CITY.
I'M VERY EXCITED TO SHARE WITH YOU OUR OUTREACH PLAN, UM, MORE DETAILS TO COME, BUT THIS IS A HIGH LEVEL OVERVIEW OF WHAT WE PLAN FOR THIS PROJECT.
THE F FOR THIS WE'RE GET A PROJECT WEBSITE THAT IS GONNA BE A CLEARING HOUSE FOR ALL PROJECT RELEVANT INFORMATION.
PLACE FOR FOLKS TO ACCESS A WEB MAP WHERE THEY CAN ACTUALLY INPUT LOCATIONS WHERE THEY WANT THINGS.
AND, UH, AGAIN, GET MORE PROJECT INFORMATION, LEARN ABOUT ANY OF THE UPCOMING EVENTS.
WE'LL HAVE SOCIAL MEDIA POSTS, Y TALKED ABOUT THIS, UM, ANY POSTS THAT WE CAN PUSH OUT THROUGH NATIONAL CITY'S OWN COMMUNICATION CHANNELS, WE'D LIKE TO DO THAT JUST
[01:05:01]
ADVERTISING THE PROJECT AND ENCOURAGING FOLKS TO LEARN MORE BY VISITING OUR WEBSITE AND TAKING THE SURVEY SO THEY CAN SHARE THEIR INPUT.AND LIKE I MENTIONED, THEIR SURVEYS WILL HAVE A LONG AND SHORT FORM SURVEY JUST TO GET SOME QUICK HIGH LEVEL INFORMATION AND THEN A LONGER SURVEY TO GATHER MORE IN DEPTH INFORMATION, QUESTION LANGUAGES, ENGLISH AND SPANISH AS A PRIMARY.
IS THERE ANOTHER LANGUAGE THAT YOU OKAY, GOT.
UM, SORRY, I WE'RE NOT, I'M NOT NOT TAKING NOTES.
I GOT JONATHAN ON THE PHONE HERE.
HE IS TAKING NOTES FOR US TOO.
YEAH, I'M TAKING NOTES OVER HERE.
I'LL, I'LL TAKE MY, BUT YEAH, IF YOU DON'T MIND, UM, GREAT.
THANK YOU FOR, THAT'S REALLY HELPFUL.
WE CAN GIVE YOU GUYS ACCESS TO VIDEO RECORDING AS WELL.
SO JUST TO TALK ABOUT OUR ACTUAL ACTIVITIES AND EVENTS, UH, UH, AMY MENTIONED THAT WE'LL BE CONDUCTING SCHOOL BLOCK AUDITS OR NEIGHBORHOOD BLOCK AUDIT.
BUT WE'RE FOCUSING AROUND THE 10 SCHOOL CAMPUSES IN NATIONAL CITY GRADE, NATIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT, NATIONAL SCHOOL, DISTRICT, DISTRICT, THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.
UM, AND I'M A SUB PROCESS SCHOOL SPECIALIST, SO I BRING THAT LENS TO THIS PROJECT AS WELL AS MY OUTREACH ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCE.
AND SO I'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT MORE ABOUT WHAT THE WALK AUDITS WILL TELL IN THE NEXT FEW SLIDES.
UH, AMY MENTIONED IT, WE'RE GONNA BE SEEING YOU A LITTLE BIT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS WITH OUR POPUP EVENTS HAPPENING AT A KIMBALL HOLIDAY.
WE'VE ALSO WE'RE RECOMMENDING ELTO AND RECREATION CENTER PIGGYBACKING WITH A DISTRICT THREE EVENT.
AND THE MOVIES AT THE PARK AT, UM, LOST PALM POOL DATES TO BE DETERMINED.
THE COMMUNITY WORKSHOP, WE ARE PROPOSING IT BE HELD AT MARTIN LUTHER.
I'LL TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THOSE WORKSHOPS.
SO FOR A SCHOOL WALK AUDIT, UM, FOR ME AS AN ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL, STATE PROCESS, SCHOOL SPECIALISTS, THEY ARE THE MOST, ONE MORE BESIDES, UH, MARTIN LUTHER KING.
UH, DID YOU CONSIDER, UM, THE PEPPER PARK, THE AQUATIC CENTER? WE CAN DO WHATEVER YOU WANT.
THAT, THAT MIGHT BE ANOTHER, ANOTHER GOOD ONE.
SAY, DO YOU MIND SAYING IT AGAIN? FE PARK, PEPPER PARK, THE AQUATIC CENTER.
I KNOW WHEN THE PORT DOES THEIR MEETINGS SOUND AND THEY'RE PRETTY WELL ATTENDED.
IS THERE A PREFERENCE ON ONE LOCATION OR THE OTHER? I THINK IF WE'RE GONNA NEED MORE THAN ONE, UM, THIS HOLDS A LOT OF PEOPLE AND IT'S CENTRAL.
BUT IF WE'LL SEE HOW THINGS PROGRESS AND WANTING TO DO AN ADDITIONAL NICE VENUE OVER THERE, SEE WHAT KIND OF ATTENDANCE WE GOT.
BUT GIVEN THAT THIS IS CITY CITYWIDE, I MEAN THERE ARE A LOT OF THINGS ALREADY GOING ON ON THE WEST SIDE, BUT UH, I HAVE A POINT OF DISCUSSION ABOUT THE WORKSHOP COMING UP, SO WE CAN DEFINITELY REVISIT THAT, UM, IN THE FUTURE SIDE.
SO FOR THE SCHOOL BLOCK AUDITS, UM, LIKE I WAS SAYING IS THE MOST POWERFUL TOOL I HAVE AS A TRANSPORTATION PROFESSIONAL BECAUSE YOU ARE TALKING WITH PEOPLE ABOUT REALLY SENSITIVE, CHALLENGING, EMOTIONAL ISSUES, LISTENING TO FOLKS EARLIER TALKING ABOUT THE PARKING SITUATION.
I MEAN, YOU, YOU HAVE THAT KIND OF THING HAPPENING AT SCHOOL SITES ALL THE TIME.
SO IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE AS A TEAM LOOK TO IDENTIFY ANY BARRIERS TO WALKING OR BIKING AND ROLLING TO SCHOOL, BUT REALLY LISTENING, ENGAGING WITH SCHOOL AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS TO HEAR WHAT THEIR CONSUMER TERMS ARE ABOUT WALKING, BIKING, SAFETY, UM, AND GET THEM EXCITED ABOUT HAVING SOME PERMITS AND, AND PROMOTING MORE WALKING AND BIKING TO SCHOOL.
IT'S ALSO A WAY FOR US TO GROUND TRUTH THE AREA.
WE, I OFTEN LOOK AT MAPS, BUT THERE'S SOMETHING LIKE GETTING DOWN THERE IN PERSON AND SEEING WHAT'S GOING ON.
UM, MENTIONED THIS VERY BRIEFLY WHEN I'M LEADING A WALKOUT, WHICH I'LL BE DOING FOR ALL OF THESE, UM, WALKOUTS, IS I ASK PEOPLE JUST TO TELL ME WHAT THEY NOTICE AND WHAT FEELS UNSAFE.
UM, I'M NOT EXPECTING PEOPLE TO BE TRANSPORTATION PLANNERS, BUT I REALLY WANNA UNDERSTAND WHAT THEIR EXPERIENCES ARE.
SO IT'S FIRST ABOUT LISTENING TO WHAT THEY'RE TELLING ME, AND THEN WE ARE ABLE TO INTERPRET WHAT THEY'RE SAYING, WHICH THAT'S HOW WE COME UP WITH RECOMMENDATIONS.
WE DOCUMENTING BARRIERS OR PHYSICAL INSTRUCTIONS.
THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FROM VISTA WHERE SOMEONE HAS THEIR FRESH HANDS OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OFFERING.
AND THEN THINGS, THE OTHER SAFETY ISSUES LIKE TRASH
UM, A HISTORY OF THE LOCATION, LOT OF SHADE SEATING OPPORTUNITIES, THE THINGS THAT MAKE WALKING AND BIKING A SAFE ROOM, COMFORTABLE CHOICES FOR INTEREST BRING UP.
BUT RIGHT NOW, ONE OF THE BIGGEST SAFETY ISSUES, UM, PEOPLE ARE CONCERNED ABOUT BEING, UH, PICKED UP.
UH, SO THE ICE ICE ISSUE, THERE'S PLENTY OF,
[01:10:01]
UH, TRAUMA RIGHT NOW IN OUR COMMUNITY.UH, SO CERTAINLY THAT'S GONNA COME.
I WOULD CERTAINLY, I WOULD IMAGINE IT WOULD, UH, COME UP AS ONE OF THE BIG ISSUES, BARRIERS RIGHT NOW IS, UH, SURVEILLANCE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
UH, AND NOT JUST IN PERSON, BUT ALSO, UM, I'M NOT SURE WHAT WE DO WITH SURVEILLANCE WITH, UH, STREET LAMPS.
DO WE HAVE ANY, OR ARE STREET LAMPS HERE? DO THEY HAVE CAMERAS? THE THE CHALLENGE IS, IS, IS, UH, SO WE HAVE, WE HAVE AN INTERCONNECTED FIBER OPTIC OPTIC NETWORK, BUT IT IS, UM, IT IS PRIMARILY ON OUR, OUR MAJOR ARTERIALS LIKE NATIONAL CITY BOULEVARD PLAZA BOULEVARD.
AND WHENEVER WE HAVE CAMERAS, UM, ALONG THOSE CORRIDORS, WE CAN GET A FEEDBACK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THEIR OPERATIONS CENTER.
UM, BUT ONCE YOU START GETTING INTO THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, YOU CAN PUT UP A CAMERA AS A DETERRENT, BUT HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GET THAT FEED BACK TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT? SO IT'S, IT'S, IT'S, MOST PEOPLE WOULD RATHER THAT, THAT NOT HAPPEN IN STATES RIGHT NOW.
SO WE, YEAH, WE TYPICALLY, YOU KNOW, WE ARE NOT REALLY IN THE BUSINESS FROM AN ENGINEERING PERSPECTIVE, PUTTING IN CAMERAS FOR SURVEILLANCE.
UM, BUT YOU KNOW, THEY ARE BENEFICIAL, UM, IN CITY FACILITIES, YOU KNOW, UH, WE'VE HAD SOME PARKS, THINGS LIKE THAT.
UM, MOST OF OUR COMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURES TO HELP, UM, YOU KNOW, WITH OUR, UM, SIGNAL, OUR TRAFFIC SIGNALS AND, AND THINGS OF THAT NATURE, EMERGENCY VEHICLE, PREEMPTION, THESE ARE ALL OPPORTUNITIES TO IMPROVE OUR, UM, SAFETY AND OPERATIONS.
BUT YEAH, I, I, AGAIN, UH, I THINK WHAT INSTANCE IS HIGHLIGHTING IS IT'S NOT JUST LIKE, SOME OF THESE MIGHT NOT HAVE AN ENGINEERING SOLUTION MM-HMM
BUT FOR EXAMPLE, IF, UH, THERE'S, UH, IF, IF THERE'S A BLOCK THAT CHILDREN NEED TO WALK PAST TO GET TO SCHOOL, AND THERE'S THREE HOUSES THAT HAVE A BUNCH OF ROTTWEILERS THAT ARE JUMPING UP ON THE FENCE BARKING, THAT'S GOOD TO KNOW, BECAUSE NOW WE CAN, YOU KNOW, REFER THAT TO OUR CODE COMPLIANCE AND SEE IF THERE'S ON MY, ON MY STREET.
IT'S SO, SO AGAIN, IT GOES ABOVE AND BEYOND JUST WHETHER OR NOT THERE'S A MISSING SIDEWALK OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
AND, UH, RIGHT NOW WITH OUR, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY HAS SOME HELPFUL SURVEILLANCE, THE, WE HAVE ON, UH, I LIVE ON EAST FOURTH AND IT'S A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE FOR, UH, UH, PROSTITUTION.
AND SO A LOT OF THE, PARTICULARLY THE GIRLS WHO THE, I MEAN, YOUNG GIRLS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD, THEY HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT, UH, THEIR SAFETY AND, YOU KNOW, GIVEN WHO ELSE IS ON THE, ON, ON THE STREET AND THINGS LIKE THAT TOO.
SO WE, OUR STAFF IS VERY SENSITIVE TO THE REAL END PERCEIVED FEARS THAT PEOPLE HAVE ABOUT STRANGER DANGER AND PEOPLE TAKING THEM.
WE HAVE DEALT WITH THE ICE ISSUE PREVIOUSLY, RECENTLY, AND, YOU KNOW, THESE ARE MEANT TO BE A COMMUNITY WALK, BUT WE CAN PIVOT, WE CAN DO IT INDOORS, WE CAN DO IT AWAY.
IT'S, IT'S, IT'S TOTALLY FULL.
UM, BUT IT'S ABOUT HAVING CONVERSATION WITH THE STAKEHOLDERS YES.
AND TRAUMA INFORMED CONVERSATION.
UM, SO FOR OUR POPUPS, UH, THE INTENT IS TO SHOW UP A PLACE AS PEOPLE WILL BE INSTEAD OF MAKING THEM COME TO SOMETHING ELSE.
UM, AND, UH, REALLY EXCITED TO HEAR THAT THE KIMBALL HOLIDAY IS A GOOD EVENT.
SOUNDS LIKE THE OTHER ONES ARE GOOD TOO.
SO IT'S ALL ABOUT THE FIRST POPUP.
KIM, I WANTED TO CLARIFY, IS GONNA BE UNIT DIRECTIONAL.
THAT'S TO SHARE OUT THE INFORMATION ABOUT THE PROJECT AND DIRECT THEM TO THE, THE WEBSITE, AND THEN THE FUTURE POPUPS WILL HAVE MORE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THEM TO SHARE INPUT, UM, ABOUT SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION, AND THEN LOOK AT OUR DRAFT DELIVERABLES AND HELP US, UM, GREATER, REALLY MEANINGFUL SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY PLAN FOR THE COMMUNITY WORKSHOP.
ALSO, BIDIRECTIONAL, UH, SOLICIT NEEDS OPPORTUNITIES RELATED TO SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION.
HAVE THEM LOOK AT SOME OF OUR DRAFT PROJECT DELIVERABLES.
I, I'VE BEEN DOING THIS A REALLY LONG TIME.
MY RECOMMENDATION WOULD BE TO HAVE THIS BE HYBRID, WHICH MEANS IT DOESN'T NECESSARILY MATTER WHERE WE END UP POSTING IT, BUT THAT YOU'RE GIVING PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO LISTEN IN, CALL IN, AND NOT HAVE TO CHANGE, UM, TRAVEL, GET CHILDCARE, ET CETERA.
UM, WE'VE KIND OF PERFECTED THIS DURING THE PANDEMIC, AND IT, I, I, IT'S MY PREFERENCE TO DO THIS.
SO I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT A HYBRID APPROACH.
[01:15:01]
I KNOW YOU GUYS ARE FOCUSING ON THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS.I WORK FOR THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DISTRICT, ACTUALLY.
AND I KNOW THAT I THINK MONTHLY THE SCHOOLS HAVE LIKE A COFFEE WITH THE PRINCIPAL WHERE A LOT OF PARENTS GO.
SO MAYBE YOU GUYS COULD GO TO ONE OF THOSE MM-HMM
THAT WAY THE PARENTS ARE ALREADY THERE, SO YOU CAN GET A LOT OF FEEDBACK FROM THAT YOU WORK FOR NATIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND THAT, THAT'S A GREAT POINT.
IT'S INTERESTING IS, UH, WE TALKED TO KRISTEN.
UM, PART OF HER APPROACH IS NOT JUST SCHEDULING A TIME TO DO THE WALK AUDIT, BUT IT IS, UM, YOU KNOW, I'LL, I'LL BE ASSISTING WITH REACHING OUT TO, UM, UM, DR. BRADY.
AND, AND THEN SHE'LL PUT US IN TOUCH WITH THE PRINCIPALS.
WE, WE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT TAKING ADVANTAGE ONCE WE GET THOSE, UM, GET THE GREEN LIGHT FROM DR. BRADY, UM, GETTING ON THOSE SCHEDULES WITH THE PRINT COFFEE WITH THE PRINCIPAL.
SO IT'S REALLY, IT'S MORE THAN JUST A WALKOUT.
IT IS, UM, GETTING IN TO HEAR FROM THE PARENTS AND, UH, THOSE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SCHOOL INITIALLY TALKING ABOUT WHAT THEIR MAYBE TOP THREE CONCERNS ARE, AND THEN SCHEDULING THE ACTUAL BOOTS ON THE GROUND EVENT.
SO, UM, PART OF WHAT KRISTEN WILL BE WORKING ON IS, IS WHAT IS THAT APPROACH TO GETTING AN INITIAL, YOU KNOW, MEET AND GREET WITH, WITH THE SCHOOL AND PARENTS AND THEN TRANSITIONING TO THE ACTUAL WALK ON.
SO I THINK THAT'S, YEAH, MAYBE REACHING OUT WITH THE SCHOOLS OR THE PTA MAYBE.
OUR FIRST STEP WILL BE TO REACH OUT TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT AS YEAH.
AS STEVE WAS SAYING, AND THEN REACH OUT TO THE PRINCIPALS.
UM, BUT CERTAINLY WE'RE GONNA LEAVE AS PTA, BUT TOO YEAH.
TO BE A PART OF THE CONVERSATION.
AND I WANTED TO CLARIFY, THE COMMUNITY WORKSHOP IS ABOUT THE ENTIRE PROJECT, NOT JUST THE SCHOOL PART OF IT.
FIRES ARE KIND SCHOOL, NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFIC POPUPS AND COMMUNITY WORKSHOP ARE REALLY GONNA INFORM THE ENTIRE SUSTAINABLE MOBILITY PLAN.
UM, THAT MAYBE WILL BE LEADING, UM, BUT WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE HYBRID APPROACH? YOU LIKE, EH, I THINK IT'S A GOOD, OKAY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK? I DO KNOW THAT DURING THE FOCUS, GENERAL PLAN UPDATE, THERE WERE, UM, A LOT WAS DONE ON ZOOM BECAUSE IT WAS, WHEN THAT WAS KICKED OFF, THAT WAS, UH, YOU KNOW, HEIGHT OF THE PANDEMIC.
UH, AND IT REALLY DIDN'T, IT, THE ZOOM PART DIDN'T REALLY WORK THAT WELL.
UM, SO I KNOW IT CAN BE HELPFUL, BUT YEAH, WE'RE STILL ADVERTISING IT AS AN IN-PERSON EVENT, BUT IT'S KIND OF LIKE AN OFFERING OF THE, ON THE SIDE FOR ANYONE THAT'S CONCERNED ABOUT THE ACCESS TO INTERNET.
IT'S KEY TO HAVE IT AVAILABLE, BUT I, YEAH, JUST WE'LL, OKAY, GREAT.
IF YOU HAVE ANY INTER COMMENTS FROM ABOUT OUTREACH, WE CAN KEEP TALKING ABOUT THAT, BUT I'LL NOPE.
SO TALKING ABOUT THE PROJECTS THAT WE'VE BEEN, UM, PULLING TOGETHER FROM ALL THE DIFFERENT PLANNING DOCUMENTS, WE'VE LOOKED AT, I THINK 16 DIFFERENT DOCUMENTS IDENTIFIED 235 DIFFERENT PROJECTS FOR THE DOCUMENT.
UM, WE DID DO LIKE A SCREENING.
THERE WAS A LOT OF DUPLICATES TOO.
YOU KNOW, HARVARD DRIVE 2.0 MIGHT BE IN THREE DIFFERENT, IN THREE DIFFERENT PLANS.
SO WE'RE, WE'RE SCREENING DOWN 87 DUPLICATE PROJECTS.
UM, AND THEN WE'VE ALSO COMBINED A COUPLE PROJECTS THAT MAYBE WERE LIKE A SIDEWALK WIDENING PROJECT COMBINED WITH A BIKE LANE PROJECT ON THE SAME STREET.
WE'RE CALLING THAT A COMPLETE STREET PROJECT THAT'S COMBINED.
UM, AND SO THE FINAL LIST OF PROJECTS RIGHT NOW IS ABOUT A HUNDRED AND THIRTEEN NINETY ONE CORRIDOR AND 22 INTERSECTIONS.
UM, SO FROM THERE, OUR NEXT STEPS ARE GONNA BE TO ELIMINATE ANY PROJECTS THAT THE CITY HAS ALREADY COMPLETED.
AS YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN DOING A TON OF GREAT ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION WORK, SO OFF 10 YEARS, SO I MEAN MORE REALLY.
UM, SO WE'LL BE ABLE TO DOCUMENT ALL OF THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THIS REPORT, UM, AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, BE ABLE TO BE ABLE TO QUANTIFY THAT AND ALSO ELIMINATE THOSE.
SO THAT WILL GIVE US OUR BASELINE STARTING POINT OF THESE OBJECTS.
UM, AND SO FROM THERE, FROM THAT BASELINE, WE'LL BE USING ALL OF THE OUTREACH TECHNIQUES TO PULL IN NEW PROJECTS FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT THEY WANT TO SEE.
SO THE NEXT SLIDE IS, UH, DRAFT MAP,
UM, BUT THIS IS THE HUNDRED 13TH PROJECTS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED.
UM, AND, YOU KNOW, THIS IS REALLY, IT'S JUST A, WE'RE CALLING IT A DOCUMENT REVIEW SUMMARY.
UM, SO THIS IS NOT WHAT IS GOING TO BE THE RECOMMENDATION OF THIS PLAN.
AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A STARTING POINT FOR US TO GET A BASELINE KNOWLEDGE OF
[01:20:01]
WHAT'S BEEN PLANNED FOR AND APPROVED BY CITY COUNCIL ALREADY AS OF TODAY.UM, SO WE'RE JUST AT VERY BEGINNING STAGES RIGHT NOW AND MOVING INTO THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA.
SO, UM, ALSO IN REVIEWING ALL OF THOSE 16 DOCUMENTS, WE PULLED ALL OF THE DIFFERENT CRITERIA THAT THOSE DOCUMENTS USED TO PRIORITIZE PROJECTS, UM, AND KIND OF BOILED IT DOWN INTO THESE FIVE KEY CATEGORIES.
UM, DEMAND OF PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS, SAFETY GAP CLOSURE CONNECTIVITY, AND THAT COULD BE CONNECTIVITY TO VARIOUS THINGS.
IT COULD BE SCHOOLS, PARKS, TRANSIT, UM, YOU KNOW, VARIOUS DIFFERENT CONNECTIVITY CRITERIA, AND THEN ALSO PUBLIC SUPPORT.
AND SO, UM, WHILE THESE REPRESENT THE MOST COMMON CRITERIA THAT WE SAW, IT IS ALSO WHAT WE WILL BE, WE, WE RECOMMEND FOR THIS PLAN.
AND, UM, YOU KNOW, THIS IS KIND OF AN OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU ALL TO PROVIDE INPUT ON WHAT, IF THIS CRITERIA MAKES SENSE, UM, IF THERE'S SOMETHING ELSE THAT YOU WISH YOU WOULD WERE SEEING OR, UM, ANYTHING LIKE THAT.
AND FROM THERE, AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE WILL BE USING THE PUBLIC OUTREACH PLATFORMS TO WAIT THESE, SO WHICH OF THESE ARE MOST IMPORTANT TO YOU AS THE COMMUNITY? UM, AND WE'LL BE ABLE TO APPLY THAT WAITING SYSTEM TO ALL OF THE DIFFERENT PROJECTS,
BUT WE'RE REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THE NEXT STEPS AND ESPECIALLY GETTING STARTED WITH GETTING SOME INITIAL INPUT AT KIMBALL.
GETTING OUT THERE AND SPREADING THE WORD.
UM, WE'LL ALSO HAVE, UM, THE FLYERS WILL HAVE LIKE A QR CODE THAT GOES TO THE WEBSITE, WHICH GIVES THEM ACCESS TO PROVIDING INPUT.
UM, I, I WISH I HAD A LITTLE PREVIEW OF WHAT THE WEBSITE LOOKS LIKE, BUT YOU'LL BASICALLY BE ABLE TO GO ON THERE, PUT LITTLE PINPOINTS ON AND SAY, I WANNA BE SIDEWALKS HERE, OR, UM, LIKE TO SEE CONNECTED BIKEWAYS HERE.
UH, IT'LL BE REALLY USER FRIENDLY.
IT WILL ALSO BE ABLE TO BE USED IN THE FIELD DURING THE WALK AUDITS, SO IT'S ACCESSIBLE BY PHONE.
UM, SO KRISTEN WILL HAVE MAPS AND EVERYTHING OUT THERE FOR THE WALK AUDITS, BUT WE'LL ALSO BE ABLE TO GIVE ACCESS TO THAT, UM, PINPOINT SURVEY BY THE PHONE.
AND I JUST WANNA ADD ONE FINAL STATEMENT.
I'VE KNOWN STEVE FOR GOING ON DECADES, AND HE IS AN INCREDIBLE, VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR EXCITED WORKING WITH HIM.
AND I'M NAME ON THIS PROJECT,
THERE'S ONE THING I WAS A LITTLE HESITANT IN LOOKING AT THE PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA, AND I, I'M SURE IT PROBABLY IS IN HERE SOMEWHERE, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE, CLIMATE ACTION PLAN, THOSE KINDS OF THINGS ARE, UH, TOP OF MIND FOR A LOT OF OUR COMMUNITY RIGHT NOW.
SO WHERE DOES THAT KIND OF, WHERE IS THAT? AND WHEN, WHEN WE LOOK AT CRITERIA MM-HMM
SO, UM, SO EQUITY WAS A CRITERIA FOR ONE OF THE PLANNING DOCUMENTS THAT WE REVIEWED.
UM, AND WE CAN ADD IT AS A CRITERIA.
I THINK THERE'S ISSUES WITH USING THE TERMINOLOGY THESE DAYS.
UM, BUT WE CAN, YEAH, WE CAN
AND THERE'S A LOT OF DATA OUT THERE FOR NATIONAL CITY TO SAY LIKE, UM, YOU KNOW, ACCESS TO VEHICLES, HOW MANY HOUSE, HOW MANY, HOW MANY VEHICLES PER HOUSEHOLD IS THERE ACCESS TO OR, UM, UM, FREE MEALS FOR LUNCH FOR, FOR STUDENTS, THAT KIND OF THING.
WE HAVE ALL THE MAPS OF NATIONALITY.
WE CAN USE THAT AS A CRITERIA.
WELL, THERE'S HEALTH ISSUES TOO.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE OTHER THING THAT COMES INTO PLAY HERE IS THAT GREAT TO HAVE THE ABILITY, BUT IF YOU'RE IT HAS ASTHMA AND CAN'T DO ANYTHING, THEN IT'S, YEAH.
SO, AND ANOTHER THING, UM, YOU KNOW, STEVE AND I HAVEN'T TALKED TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS YET, BUT, UM, AN IDEA THAT I WAS THINKING ABOUT IS WHEN WE HAVE THIS MAP OF, OF ALL OF THE PROJECTS, UM, ONE THING THAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE IS NOT JUST A COMPREHENSIVE LIST, BUT ALSO A NEIGHBORHOOD LIST.
SO SAYING LIKE, PER EACH OF THE NINE NEIGHBORHOODS SO THAT IT DISTRIBUTED, EACH NEIGHBORHOOD HAS THEIR TOP FIVE PROJECTS OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
SO WE COULD DO THAT INSTEAD OF CRITERIA, THAT EQUITY CRITERIA, WE COULD DO THAT TO MAKE SURE IT'S DISTRIBUTED.
I'M, I'M NOT SURE YOU GUYS ARE THE EXPERTS.
I'LL START WITH KIND OF THE BUMMER ONE, THEN WE'LL GO WITH THE MORE FUN ONE.
UM, ON ALL OF THE OUTREACH THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DONE FOR THE LAST COUPLE
[01:25:01]
OF YEARS, INCLUDING PEOPLE FROM SAYING THE DATA BACKGROUND PEOPLE ARE OFFERING QR CODE.THERE'S A SUB SUBSET OF US WHO HAVE NEVER IN OUR LIVES LAID A QR CODE FOR.
SO I JUST WANNA REALLY EMPHASIZE, SO PLEASE HAVE THAT IF IT CAN.
OFTEN NOT, BUT OFTEN, BECAUSE I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY OF THOSE, NOT ONLY BEING A FRIENDS OF MINE HAVE SAID, I CAN'T PULL THIS OUT.
I'M NOT GONNA KILL MYSELF TO DO IT.
UM, AND THEN IN THE POSITIVE ONE, I HAVE A QUESTION FOR STEVE, WHICH IS, UM, SPEAKING OF THESE TYPES OF ENHANCEMENTS THAT, THAT PEDESTRIAN BICYCLE PATH THAT RUNNING FROM THE EIGHTH STREET AREA THROUGH IN, LIKE IN NANCY OVER TO PLAZA, WHAT'S, WHAT'S THE OPENING GATE FORECAST ON THAT OUTTA CURIOSITY? LUCA, WE'RE GETTING PRETTY CLOSE WITH WRAPPING THAT PROJECT UP FOR ESSENTIAL MOBILITY PORT.
WHEN, WHEN, UH, SHE'S ASKING WHEN CONSTRUCTION GONNA BE DONE WITH THAT YAY.
IT'S, UM, NOW IT'S THE 11TH, THE END OF THE MONTH.
UH, MOST LIKE VERY CLOSE TO
STARBUCKS PEOPLE WILL BE THRILLED TO HEAR THAT.
I THINK THAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ON, ON THE NORTHLAND OF EVENT AVENUE, THERE ARE HUGE, UM, I THINK WE ALL REMEMBER, UM, WE, WE HAVE, WE HAVE PHOTOS OF SEEING, UH, YOU KNOW, MOMS PUSHING THEIR KIDS IN STROLLERS DOWN THAT DIRT HILL JUST TO TRY TO GO DO SOME SHOPPING.
AND I THINK THAT'S THE MOST I IMPACT, THAT'S GONNA BE THE MOST IMPACTFUL PART OF THIS PROJECT.
SO IT, IT WAS ALSO THE MOST, UM, CHALLENGING TO CONSTRUCT, DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT.
BUT I THINK AS LUCA MENTIONED, MENTIONED IT SHOULD BE OPEN BEFORE, BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR.
THAT IS A HEAVILY, AS YOU KNOW, THAT'S A HEAVILY USED HERE.
AND A LOT OF THE FOLKS IN THE CITY WHO DRIVE EVERYWHERE, BUT YEAH, THAT'S A VERY COUPLE USED HERE, SO.
I WAS ASK FOLLOW QUESTION TO, WOULD A PAPER SURVEY WORK OR A PHONE NUMBER TO CALL TO SHARE INPUT BE HELPFUL? I THINK IN A LOT OF CASES THE QR CODES SURVEYS ARE JUST LEADING PEOPLE TO A WEBSITE AND PEOPLE ARE QUITE CAPABLE OF TYPING IN THE URL.
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY SOME OF THE SAN DIEGO STATE STUDENTS, THEY'RE JUST REALLY TRANSLATED ON THESE QR CODES IN LIEU OF DOING THAT.
WHAT WE'VE DONE BEFORE IS QR CODE IS THEY'RE FUN, BUT WE ALWAYS PUT LIKE A, A SMALL URL UNDERNEATH IT SO THAT WHAT, TO YOUR POINT, IT'S UM, THEY CAN TYPE IN THE WEBSITE.
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE LIKE 20 CHARACTERS THOUGH.
IT'LL BE A SMALLER ONE THAT THEY GETS HOME.
I DO THINK TOO THOUGH, THAT HALF THE, AND IF, IF YOU'RE DOING SOMETHING LIKE TEMPLE PARK DURING THE HOLIDAY EVENT AND YOU CAN GET SOMEONE WHILE THEY'RE MOTIVATED.
BECAUSE BY THE TIME, YOU KNOW, FOLKS GET HOME, THAT'S A OTHER STUFF.
ONE QUESTION, THE PEDESTRIAN NEWS, PEDESTRIAN AREA, LIKE OFF OF PLAZA BOULEVARD BY THAT STARBUCKS LIKE BENCH OF THAT HILL? YEAH.
AND STEVE, THERE A LIST OF PROJECTS BECAUSE I LIVE LIKE, LIKE TO THE BOULEVARD YES.
UM, YEAH, THAT, THAT, THAT'S IN, WE'RE ACTUALLY GONNA BE STUFF TO GET TO HER.
LIKE A COUPLE DIFFERENT BRANDS.
IS, UM, EIGHTH STREET AND VILLE, IS THAT THE ONE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT? THAT, THAT WE GOES FROM DOWNTOWN TO THE NAME NAVAL BASE.
THIS WAS, WE TALKED ABOUT WAS, UH, BECAUSE WE ALSO WHATEVER, BUT THERE'S EVELYN AT WORK, LIKE WHICHEVER THAT IS.
[01:30:02]
MANAGING THAT PROJECT.THAT'S THE STREET BRIDGE, REMEMBER? YEAH.
THAT'S THE STREET BRIDGE IS PART OF THAT.
