Um and 592 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:06,720 then there are three motions on your 593 00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:08,160 agenda as well. Before I get into those 594 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:11,400 motions, I did want to give you an 595 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:13,280 update on the East Lincoln storm drain 596 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:15,080 project. It's a stormwater authority 597 00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:18,200 project, but we talked about it at your 598 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:21,800 workshop um 2 weeks ago, and we talked 599 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:24,760 about the the curb bump-out um trying to 600 00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,880 to slow traffic to a traffic calming 601 00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,400 um heading 602 00:21:25,880 --> 00:21:29,880 um whenever for for vehicles that are 603 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:31,120 speeding heading eastbound on Lincoln 604 00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:32,560 instead of 605 00:21:31,120 --> 00:21:36,080 making that bend and continuing 606 00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:37,840 northbound on Old Harrisburg Road and 607 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,480 um having it neck down where they go 608 00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:41,720 into East Lincoln. 609 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:44,920 Um we had talked about 610 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:46,400 is just a curb bump street diet enough 611 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:49,680 to slow the cars down there. Should we 612 00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:51,120 also add a speed table like they did on 613 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:53,920 Broadway? 614 00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:55,960 The way we left that was we were 615 00:21:53,920 --> 00:21:58,400 everybody was definitely okay with the 616 00:21:55,960 --> 00:22:00,080 the the diet, the curb bumps, but we 617 00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:02,920 would like to get some counts, some 618 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,760 speed studies done to determine if the 619 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,320 next level, the speed table, is 620 00:22:04,760 --> 00:22:07,960 warranted or not. 621 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:10,160 Um at the time I thought that was a good 622 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:13,080 idea. I did not think about the fact 623 00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:13,920 that that street is under construction. 624 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,520 There's a significant [clears throat] 625 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:17,560 amount of construction that's happening. 626 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:19,880 All kinds of trenching, Columbia Gas has 627 00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:23,040 been out there for weeks. Trying to do 628 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:25,040 speed study at this time is not going to 629 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:27,680 provide the results that we are looking 630 00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:29,400 for. Um it's just there's too many 631 00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:32,120 flaggers, there's too much construction. 632 00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,720 People are going slow as it is. Um so I 633 00:22:32,120 --> 00:22:35,800 did want to give you an update that at 634 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,880 this time I just didn't think about that 635 00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:38,280 2 weeks ago when we were having this 636 00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:39,800 conversation. 637 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,360 Um so 638 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:43,960 uh I I had a chance to talk talk it over 639 00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:45,560 with staff. Um for now we think that our 640 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:48,280 recommendation would be to move forward 641 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:51,720 with the the bump-outs, um get the 642 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:54,000 street constructed like that, and then 643 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:56,520 from there, after that's done, then we 644 00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,600 can reanalyze it and take a look with 645 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:59,040 with the with the help of the police 646 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:01,920 department to see if we feel like 647 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,360 there's still an issue. Um I I 648 00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:07,120 understand 100% um President Moon's 649 00:23:04,360 --> 00:23:09,720 concern there that if we would we still 650 00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:10,600 could come back later and add a table 651 00:23:09,720 --> 00:23:12,880 where we're going to be doing the 652 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:14,680 bump-outs, you'd be cutting into a brand 653 00:23:12,880 --> 00:23:16,840 new asphalt surface. 654 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,600 I 100% share his concern with that. 655 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:21,240 There's there's it's one of my pet 656 00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:23,400 peeves as a as an engineer somebody that 657 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:24,760 that cuts into a brand new streets. And 658 00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,440 in case you didn't know this, I was one 659 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:28,200 of the architects for the streets 660 00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:31,120 degradation 661 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:32,880 ordinance that we have to preclude 662 00:23:31,120 --> 00:23:34,720 people from cutting into a brand new 663 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:35,760 street. So it is one of my pet peeves 664 00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,560 and I 665 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:39,000 we try to avoid that at all costs. But 666 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:41,520 in this case, I just don't know if 667 00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,920 there's any other good path forward. So 668 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:44,520 again, I think 669 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:46,640 the idea for now is to is to move 670 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:47,960 forward with the with the bump-outs. I 671 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,680 feel like that's going to provide some 672 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,600 pretty good results. 673 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:53,880 And I feel like if we would then follow 674 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:55,600 up once the streets paved and it's brand 675 00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:57,320 new asphalt, that's usually whenever the 676 00:23:55,600 --> 00:23:59,080 speed ticks up. 677 00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,640 So then we can put some 678 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:02,200 some counters down and and measure the 679 00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:04,360 speeds 680 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:06,960 next summer essentially. 681 00:24:04,360 --> 00:24:06,960 » I'll allow you. 682 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:12,400 » So aside from that, just have the three 683 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:15,120 motions that are on your agenda. The 684 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:16,840 first one is with regards to a grant 685 00:24:15,120 --> 00:24:19,680 application 686 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:21,400 that we that the stormwater authority 687 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,800 would like to submit. I actually already 688 00:24:21,400 --> 00:24:24,840 submitted it. It was due at the end of 689 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:26,440 last month. So this motion is 690 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,160 retroactively 691 00:24:26,440 --> 00:24:33,600 we need to file a resolution. It's 692 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:36,680 essentially that there is a 15% match to 693 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:38,920 this if the if the borough would receive 694 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:42,040 the grant, the borough would be 695 00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:43,360 responsible for 15% of that that total 696 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,760 price tag that you see there, that 697 00:24:43,360 --> 00:24:48,320 $456,000. 698 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:51,000 The stormwater authority is 699 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:52,800 agreeing to to pay that 15%. So it's 700 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,240 just a really formality that this has to 701 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,560 go through the borough. The borough 702 00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:57,680 applies for the grant, not the 703 00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:59,880 stormwater authority. 704 00:24:57,680 --> 00:25:01,520 That is for that channel wall between 705 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:03,720 Gillon and Alley, Carl L Street, the one 706 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,920 we've talked about plenty of times. It's 707 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:10,040 past way past its useful life. 708 00:25:06,920 --> 00:25:13,160 The wall with the same age, the same um 709 00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:15,240 structure just upstream of that along 710 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:17,640 Coone Alley failed a few years ago, as 711 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:19,480 we know. Um so, this one we're we're 712 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,320 hoping to get to this one 713 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,760 um with some grant money before it fails 714 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,400 as well. 715 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:26,360 Uh and we are the the other big hurdle 716 00:25:24,400 --> 00:25:27,880 with that is we have the design 717 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:30,640 basically done 718 00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:32,080 um submitted to DEP for permitting. 719 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:35,840 Um we are 720 00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:38,040 currently working on the 721 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:39,480 maintenance and operation agreements 722 00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:41,200 with the property owners. There's two 723 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:43,640 property owners, the one that owns the 724 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:46,000 Late Night Bites on the left side, 725 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:48,240 that's the City Mart, and then the one 726 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,000 on the north side was the old Ugly Mug 727 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:52,360 um property. So, we're we have reached 728 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,640 out to those property owners and we're 729 00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:56,280 in discussion with them on the permanent 730 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,760 ownership and and maintenance of those, 731 00:25:56,280 --> 00:26:00,080 and that will be required as well for 732 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,680 the grant application. Um should we fail 733 00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,920 with that effort, then the grant 734 00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:07,760 application would also fail. Um so, it 735 00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:11,440 just get withdrawn at that point. 736 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:14,440 The next uh motion is about um payment 737 00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:16,280 to Kinsley for the curb ramp 738 00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,640 replacements that they did earlier this 739 00:26:16,280 --> 00:26:22,200 this year. This is essentially just a 740 00:26:18,640 --> 00:26:24,000 formality, an administrative item. Um 741 00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:27,120 they asked for payment in exactly the 742 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:29,520 amount that they were contracted. Um so, 743 00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:30,760 um again, this is just a administrative 744 00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:35,000 formality. 745 00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:37,160 Um and then the last one is for um 746 00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:38,920 contract change order to do an extension 747 00:26:37,160 --> 00:26:41,800 time extension. So, Robbie just gave you 748 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:43,240 an update on the street work that we're 749 00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,240 proposing. 750 00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,480 Um 751 00:26:44,240 --> 00:26:47,960 the contractor would It's It's only a 752 00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:50,000 few days worth of work. They do crack 753 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:51,240 sealing in a couple of days. They do the 754 00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,080 chip seal in a couple days, and then 755 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:54,560 they put down the script type fog seal 756 00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:56,440 at the end in a couple of days. So, it's 757 00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,760 like a week's worth of work, but they 758 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,280 would like to get the crack sealing done 759 00:26:57,760 --> 00:27:01,320 now, like Robbie said, and then come 760 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:03,360 back later in the end of July. So, they 761 00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,120 can't fit it within 30 days. They got it 762 00:27:03,360 --> 00:27:07,080 We got to make it 60 days so they can do 763 00:27:05,120 --> 00:27:08,520 that at two different times. Uh which 764 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,440 makes sense and actually, if they do the 765 00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:12,520 crack sealing a little bit earlier and 766 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:14,560 let it hit with traffic, it actually 767 00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,920 works better. Um so, we would support 768 00:27:14,560 --> 00:27:17,640 this this 769 00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:19,520 change order. And the only other thing I 770 00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:21,440 wanted to add to Robbie's presentation 771 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,880 on that the the the street closures that 772 00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,080 are going to be associated with this is 773 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,840 and all the property owners are going to 774 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,480 get a door hanger, like Robbie said, 775 00:27:25,840 --> 00:27:30,480 letting them know this, but also the 776 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:32,600 this chip seal that that goes down, I 777 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:34,520 always like to remind everybody that it 778 00:27:32,600 --> 00:27:36,080 it's a two-step process. So, it first 779 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,200 comes down as a chip seal. It seems like 780 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,520 a normal chip seal. It is a 781 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,360 high-performance chip seal, so you don't 782 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,520 get quite as the same amount of whip 783 00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:44,320 off. Uh by whip off, you whenever your 784 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,800 tires run over it, the stones kick up on 785 00:27:44,320 --> 00:27:47,240 your cars, you that's what we we call 786 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:49,280 whip off.
