Mm-hmm. It has or it had a lot of fiber communications 108 00:06:57,200 --> 00:06:59,080 facilities over there? 109 00:07:01,160 --> 00:07:03,600 Have they been replaced or have they been? 110 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:09,500 I don't know that for certain. I do know though that anything that, you know, let's say we 111 00:07:09,500 --> 00:07:15,160 wanted to redevelop AT&T building, we want to make sure that it also works in regard 112 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:21,580 to our electric water sewer and our streets as well. So that would all be part of that 113 00:07:21,580 --> 00:07:32,240 development process? Yep. Mr. I appreciate all the work that's being done on this. I I've looked at 114 00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:41,040 several pieces as in my business privately and it's been challenging to know where to start 115 00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:48,800 because you don't know where the price is. I've watched not just just last several years but 116 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:54,860 decade of the property on the community center that has been available for sale 117 00:07:54,860 --> 00:08:00,580 not for sale no price is given there's nothing available for anybody to say you 118 00:08:00,580 --> 00:08:06,760 know that price I can at least back into a project concept if our zoning's are 119 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:12,540 what we want and our master plan is what we want and we don't vary from 120 00:08:12,540 --> 00:08:19,900 that, why don't we just sell it set a price and sell it and take the money that we have 121 00:08:19,900 --> 00:08:27,000 and put it to our infrastructure instead of people that aren't in the business trying 122 00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:30,580 to set parameters when we've already done that through land use. 123 00:08:31,140 --> 00:08:36,060 And we've already done that if we set it sells, but if if we have a set land use 124 00:08:36,060 --> 00:08:37,860 for that commercial property over there on 41. 125 00:08:38,980 --> 00:08:40,180 That's what they're going to build. 126 00:08:40,180 --> 00:08:47,580 So we've already told everybody this is what we want this building over here. We've already told everybody. This is what we want 127 00:08:47,580 --> 00:08:50,500 But without a sales price 128 00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,840 And you can we I'd like to visit on the council about this, but I can't I can't even 129 00:08:58,940 --> 00:09:01,000 attempt to put a project 130 00:09:02,300 --> 00:09:10,160 Together conceptually until I know what price I'm looking at now there if I come to one and you see the project concept 131 00:09:10,180 --> 00:09:16,640 and you say, no, if you'll do this, we might concede on this, or we might provide infrastructure 132 00:09:17,180 --> 00:09:20,520 for X if you'll do this instead. 133 00:09:21,400 --> 00:09:25,520 That's when that begins, but unless we're willing to stick a sign up there and say, 134 00:09:25,540 --> 00:09:33,320 this is for sale for X, I've never been able to reach the ability to come up with 135 00:09:33,320 --> 00:09:35,060 the concept to know what it is. 136 00:09:35,060 --> 00:09:40,140 And so, that slam down there at the community center has been set for a long, long time. 137 00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:48,380 And we seem to do that with ourselves, we parallelize ourselves into thinking that we 138 00:09:48,380 --> 00:09:54,020 know what to do with the market when if we could just get an offer on the property and 139 00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:58,900 get a concept in the hand, that's when we start negotiating what we could do to get 140 00:09:58,900 --> 00:09:59,600 what we want. 141 00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:07,420 But to try to do an RFI, or an RFP, and to try to tell people we're negotiating around 142 00:10:07,420 --> 00:10:11,980 the sales price, we don't, you know, depending on what you're going to do, we're not in the 143 00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:15,100 business, or most people in the business, the city is not in the business of real estate 144 00:10:15,100 --> 00:10:15,420 development. 145 00:10:16,220 --> 00:10:21,860 And so I'm just, I would look at it a little differently from my standpoint, and I've said 146 00:10:21,860 --> 00:10:26,460 the same thing for years, during, when it first came on for sale, why don't you 147 00:10:26,460 --> 00:10:27,140 just list it? 148 00:10:28,560 --> 00:10:33,520 And the marketing agent for that, get the best commercial agent you can possibly find 149 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:36,800 that has done this just like they do Pinnacle or anything else. 150 00:10:37,100 --> 00:10:39,140 They will put the whole sales deck together. 151 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:41,420 They will help you promote exactly what you want. 152 00:10:41,780 --> 00:10:44,140 Let the professionals do this. 153 00:10:44,780 --> 00:10:48,460 Set your price and tell them this is what you want. 154 00:10:48,860 --> 00:10:53,640 And let's get out of the business of trying to dictate our zoning already does it. 155 00:10:54,060 --> 00:10:55,760 We shouldn't have to get in the middle of that. 156 00:10:55,760 --> 00:11:01,540 just set your price. Bill I kind of disagree in that it's more than just the 157 00:11:01,540 --> 00:11:05,740 sales price of the property that we're looking for. The point is like I'm 158 00:11:05,740 --> 00:11:10,160 personally not convinced that we even want to sell this piece of property and 159 00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:15,540 doing the RFP like we can kind of decide like if we get X, Y, and Z then 160 00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:21,280 maybe it is worth it. Otherwise it might not be. It's not just about selling a 161 00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:26,760 of land. It's about like does it accomplish everything we want to accomplish and if it 162 00:11:27,300 --> 00:11:32,660 doesn't maybe we wait until it does. That's kind of my thought for reasonable answer. 163 00:11:32,940 --> 00:11:37,760 I'm just concerned that when you're out of money on infrastructure and we have an asset 164 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,220 that we're making no sales tax on whatsoever that we need to get the highest and best 165 00:11:42,220 --> 00:11:46,540 used cash out of that property and we know we're going to get something since it's 166 00:11:46,540 --> 00:11:51,160 commercial, we're going to get something out of that that's in the zone that we've already 167 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,120 put in our land use that we approved that that's what we want there. 168 00:11:55,320 --> 00:12:00,640 So we can sit with the property with no value on it yet to sell, and we're not making any 169 00:12:00,640 --> 00:12:01,660 tax revenue from it. 170 00:12:01,740 --> 00:12:06,200 We're in a definite period of time until we decide what we're going to ask of somebody. 171 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,400 I just think it's going to complicate it, especially on your big parcels. 172 00:12:10,620 --> 00:12:15,140 I just, but I mean, I appreciate what you're saying, but we've already done that 173 00:12:15,140 --> 00:12:15,620 in our land use. 174 00:12:15,620 --> 00:12:19,440 There's no, somebody can give us a still bid on something now, right? 175 00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:21,180 So we can consider that. 176 00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,700 So if somebody knows the property, they can, they can give us a still bid and 177 00:12:25,700 --> 00:12:26,620 we can consider that. 178 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,380 So that basically can happen right now for anybody interested in our properties. 179 00:12:31,700 --> 00:12:34,780 So nobody's going to give you until they know what you're really going to. 180 00:12:34,980 --> 00:12:41,780 They, they're going to know, so that the property is going to be like our 181 00:12:41,780 --> 00:12:46,400 thought process is to do the RFP, see what we get so that we can consider, especially 182 00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:52,840 on this building, that because we've got considerations around parking and a lot of 183 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:59,320 other things that tie into this particular piece. And so we would like to try the RFP 184 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:05,580 process to see what we got get and generate some interest in that. And then if we end 185 00:13:05,580 --> 00:13:09,900 up going down the route where we need to get it, go down and just strictly do it 186 00:13:09,900 --> 00:13:17,140 So I think that's option installment table, but we would like to be able to go down the RFP process first. 187 00:13:17,620 --> 00:13:22,600 Is that going to be on the bomb building on the property, community by the community center and all the all property? 188 00:13:22,800 --> 00:13:24,880 We're going to do the same process for all property. 189 00:13:24,880 --> 00:13:30,060 We'd like to start here and then learn from this and see what we do moving forward. 190 00:13:30,220 --> 00:13:34,280 That's why we're not doing a fire sale of like six properties all at once. 191 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,540 I don't have you talk to you know we're 15 years since the community 192 00:13:38,540 --> 00:13:43,780 probably yes we actually have a couple of different proposals brought to us 193 00:13:43,780 --> 00:13:50,340 they're not we need the RFP to set kind of put some more parameters around it so 194 00:13:50,340 --> 00:13:55,060 it's not just a concept on an act and that they're saying so I think if I 195 00:13:55,680 --> 00:14:00,080 think we would ask for you guys to let us let the RFP see what we get and kind 196 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:03,480 of learn from that process if we decide that's not a great process and we 197 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:07,100 want to do something different with the other properties, 198 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:09,460 then we can certainly go down the road. 199 00:14:09,620 --> 00:14:12,000 And again, right now, there is nothing hindering anybody 200 00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,300 from giving us a still bid on any of those properties. 201 00:14:15,100 --> 00:14:18,120 We are also going to be putting all of this on our website. 202 00:14:18,540 --> 00:14:21,960 We're actually, we're condensing any websites 203 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:23,700 because we have to also make all of our websites. 204 00:14:25,500 --> 00:14:26,300 ADA compliant. 205 00:14:26,380 --> 00:14:28,500 ADA compliant, all these things who are actually. 206 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:30,400 So we have like an investment in the site 207 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:31,080 and different things we're going 208 00:14:31,080 --> 00:14:36,280 put for putting that all onto our site and combining all of that so people will have very 209 00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:43,080 easy access to all of it. We have not done a good even just internally pushing those properties 210 00:14:43,080 --> 00:14:49,200 out in any way to know that they're even for sale. That is our thought process 211 00:14:50,060 --> 00:14:56,300 and so we would like to be able to do an RPRC with that. What if we did a professional services 212 00:14:56,300 --> 00:14:58,260 is from a marketing and real estate agent. 213 00:14:59,440 --> 00:14:59,980 I mean, we're going to. 214 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,620 We're going to spend all this money to duplicate what a professional commercial real estate agent 215 00:15:04,620 --> 00:15:09,080 does, and we're duplicating their services, and their professionals already have everything, 216 00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:14,160 all their websites, everything ready to go. That land for sale at the community center 217 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:21,540 has been over 16 years. Off and on, signs going up, signs going down.

Medians are high priority. Bike lanes are high priority. Roundabouts 739 00:47:56,290 --> 00:48:02,110 are high priority. Median refuge islands are high priority. Green infrastructure and street 740 00:48:02,110 --> 00:48:08,230 trees are high priority. Transit considerations are high priority. Bikeways at intersections 741 00:48:08,230 --> 00:48:14,510 are high priority. Pedestrian priority signals are high priority. None of these goals are 742 00:48:14,510 --> 00:48:20,150 by the new design. This is in an area adopted by you in the future land use map 743 00:48:20,150 --> 00:48:25,270 to be the second most intense place type urban corridor with high speed slip 744 00:48:25,270 --> 00:48:30,630 lanes, no pedestrian priority, no separated bike lanes, no trees, and an 745 00:48:30,630 --> 00:48:33,870 antiquated design that does not reflect current understanding of traffic 746 00:48:33,870 --> 00:48:39,770 safety and flow. The money spent on designing this death trap has been 747 00:48:39,770 --> 00:48:45,470 lost, the human lives of Bentonville residents have not yet been lost. Moving forward, as 748 00:48:45,470 --> 00:48:50,790 a council and mayor, I urge you to ensure Bentonville has a city engineer who will listen 749 00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:55,610 to the safe design policies you have adopted and not put future Bentonville residents 750 00:48:55,610 --> 00:48:57,110 at risk. Thank you. 751 00:49:01,300 --> 00:49:03,040 With that, we will go to the committee review. 752 00:49:04,360 --> 00:49:14,540 The library had discussed in a previous meeting to add more representatives of different organizations 753 00:49:14,540 --> 00:49:21,000 in the city to be member, ex-official members of the advisory board. 754 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:31,240 In this past meeting, we had the introduction of several of those new ex-official members, 755 00:49:31,240 --> 00:49:37,740 including one from the Community College and other organizations that are going to 756 00:49:37,740 --> 00:49:43,980 enrich with their opinions and their comments, the work of the advisory board. 757 00:49:44,480 --> 00:49:49,240 That is the main situation that we had on the library. As for the utility board, 758 00:49:49,340 --> 00:49:53,640 we discussed everything that was approved a little while ago. That's it. 759 00:49:53,640 --> 00:49:55,000 I don't have anything. 760 00:49:55,360 --> 00:49:56,920 Graphic and signage met. 761 00:49:57,620 --> 00:50:06,080 We did approve a crosswalk on John Shields in front of Crystal Flats in Legacy Village 762 00:50:06,540 --> 00:50:09,260 so that we can help them get to the dog park safely. 763 00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:18,380 We also approved the removal of signs at the crosswalk. 764 00:50:18,380 --> 00:50:26,140 stop signs, the crosswalk at Freestown Way on 3rd Street and Cross Creek, but it 765 00:50:26,140 --> 00:50:30,620 will be replaced, the crosswalk's not being removed, it will be replaced with 766 00:50:30,620 --> 00:50:35,640 the lighted sign, you know the crosswalk sign so that it helps traffic flow 767 00:50:35,640 --> 00:50:41,420 better and keeps kids safer. We also take the discussion on a roundabout 768 00:50:41,420 --> 00:50:48,520 Northwest Fifth and Bella Vista Road. We heard a lot of residents come talk to us 769 00:50:48,520 --> 00:50:54,520 about the hazards coming out of Fox Fire subdivision on to Walton and agreed to 770 00:50:54,520 --> 00:51:00,620 do a new traffic study there and look into completing the bike trail or at 771 00:51:00,620 --> 00:51:04,140 least access to that subdivision so the bikes can use the tunnel that goes 772 00:51:04,140 --> 00:51:12,400 under Walton as the safer route in crossing that street. The Oz kids bike and book fest 773 00:51:12,400 --> 00:51:21,300 library was approved and that'll happen on June 27th and we'll have our next meeting on 774 00:51:21,300 --> 00:51:22,700 April 6th. 775 00:51:25,360 --> 00:51:30,520 This was from the public art advisory board meeting from last month but 776 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:46,500 Oh, two weeks ago, we didn't do reviews last, the last meeting after the state of the I've had to leave right away. So anyway, I'm updating from the last meeting. Yeah. 777 00:51:47,020 --> 00:51:49,560 Um, this is a really cool thing. 778 00:51:49,560 --> 00:51:57,580 the Tom Hohen who is our one of our chairs went around and cataloged all of the public 779 00:51:57,580 --> 00:52:06,200 artworks in the city. We had been saying 117 or something like that for a long time and 780 00:52:06,200 --> 00:52:14,840 as of the first week of March there were 323 public artworks. So March 30th is opening 781 00:52:14,840 --> 00:52:21,100 day for practicing at Phillips Park and that weekend, the first weekend of games will be 782 00:52:21,100 --> 00:52:25,480 in mid-April and they'll be have the grand opening of Bentville Bat, which is a public 783 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:33,540 art that was commissioned for Phillips Park. And as far as the Jay and John De Shields 784 00:52:33,540 --> 00:52:40,900 roundabout, Crystal Bridges is working on the plan for formatting right now. The city 785 00:52:40,900 --> 00:52:47,480 had to make some changes and it was sort of an immediate need and everyone on the art 786 00:52:47,480 --> 00:52:52,440 board and Crystal Bridges wanted to congratulate the city staff on getting that all of those 787 00:52:52,440 --> 00:52:58,320 changes done very quickly. So let's give a shout out to them. Crystal Bridges are working 788 00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,600 on the skirting that will hold up to driving. It will be installed the first week of May. 789 00:53:04,240 --> 00:53:10,380 and the Crystal Bridges were waiting on their revised contract but the 790 00:53:10,380 --> 00:53:14,320 partnership is that the Crystal Bridges is funding the artwork and they'll own and 791 00:53:14,320 --> 00:53:18,560 maintain it on loan to the city and the city is responsible for site prep so 792 00:53:18,560 --> 00:53:23,420 that's just an example of the public private partnership to get more art 793 00:53:23,420 --> 00:53:32,150 and specifically in the roundabouts a lot really nice to see. I don't think I 794 00:53:32,150 --> 00:53:41,670 anything? Two things. One is the I concur on rainbow curve and I ever since we got 795 00:53:41,670 --> 00:53:47,910 rid of the flyover I'm I'm I still just I'm really concerned that dead ending 796 00:53:47,910 --> 00:53:54,750 everything into a tee is not going to handle things that I know we're moving 797 00:53:54,750 --> 00:54:00,770 forward I'm just really concerned about have we really are we sure that that 798 00:54:00,770 --> 00:54:06,270 That design is going to move traffic well enough and deal with some of the discussions 799 00:54:06,270 --> 00:54:07,710 that we heard tonight. 800 00:54:08,950 --> 00:54:13,270 I've heard my reasoning before on why I'm concerned about that. 801 00:54:13,710 --> 00:54:22,150 I just would like to really get some, if anybody else is concerned about it, just 802 00:54:22,150 --> 00:54:24,390 let's talk to about transportation behind the scenes. 803 00:54:24,950 --> 00:54:28,250 I just hope that it is the end result that we hope it is. 804 00:54:28,250 --> 00:54:32,190 and I'm just still have questions. 805 00:54:32,530 --> 00:54:34,070 And it just brought up tonight. 806 00:54:34,250 --> 00:54:35,170 My concerns is all. 807 00:54:35,730 --> 00:54:40,750 And so here's what I, I don't move a big project like that. 808 00:54:41,010 --> 00:54:43,590 We have to have counsel support in it. 809 00:54:43,690 --> 00:54:47,430 I'm not going to do these big projects and not have support. 810 00:54:47,550 --> 00:54:49,610 So if we need to get you in front of the engineers 811 00:54:49,610 --> 00:54:53,490 and you guys want to ask questions, we can do that. 812 00:54:55,730 --> 00:55:01,590 but we really need to, we need to, we do need to move projects forward. We have 813 00:55:01,590 --> 00:55:06,030 had a design, they did present the new design to you. I don't even know what 814 00:55:06,030 --> 00:55:11,890 it's been quite some time. It's taken us this long to acquire all of the land, 815 00:55:12,230 --> 00:55:17,270 get that, move the utilities, and be ready to actually go through bed with 816 00:55:17,270 --> 00:55:21,990 this project. So there is a ton of pre-work that's already been done in 817 00:55:21,990 --> 00:55:25,550 this project but the engineers when they came and told you that the design had 818 00:55:25,550 --> 00:55:30,090 switched they stood in front of you and told you why and that has been so if 819 00:55:30,090 --> 00:55:34,430 there were concerns I think we I mean I would have hoped that we would have 820 00:55:34,430 --> 00:55:40,190 addressed them by now but I am I am not wanting to move projects through that I 821 00:55:40,190 --> 00:55:44,510 don't have council support on because these projects are so hard to get done 822 00:55:45,310 --> 00:55:49,410 if I don't have your support on them we need to move to the next project 823 00:55:49,410 --> 00:55:55,990 to get done. I live in this traffic and this is this intersection is going out into our growth 824 00:55:55,990 --> 00:56:02,610 in southwest Bentonville and it is so needed to fix this intersection so please don't don't 825 00:56:03,450 --> 00:56:09,670 stop. It was a close body. I expressed my concern at the time that it may be to me 826 00:56:10,590 --> 00:56:18,560 who's not moving the traffic well enough. I just I'll visit with the engineering team and 827 00:56:18,560 --> 00:56:32,800 But it's already been passed and as council moved on with this it just and we've grown quite a bit since the design and I just I'll visit with the engineer and see what the movement is and what the rating will be after the intersection and discuss me. 828 00:56:32,920 --> 00:56:34,040 I'm not going to stop. I'm just. 829 00:56:34,180 --> 00:56:35,280 And I'm. 830 00:56:35,280 --> 00:57:03,260 We looked at this ad nauseum and traffic and signage and looked at all the studies and when we, they compared the data and the state helped us understand this at the volume of traffic that we would move with the flyover versus straightening up that intersection and putting more turn lanes and traffic control devices was significantly better going with the intersection rather than the flyover. 831 00:57:03,260 --> 00:57:05,920 And that's why we made that decision. 832 00:57:06,100 --> 00:57:07,880 We recommended that decision. 833 00:57:08,420 --> 00:57:10,640 You was also the host of the flyover. 834 00:57:11,080 --> 00:57:11,960 Yeah, yeah. 835 00:57:12,100 --> 00:57:13,580 That's why it was checked. 836 00:57:13,980 --> 00:57:15,980 The investment that we were trying to get 837 00:57:15,980 --> 00:57:17,200 in terms of traffic control. 838 00:57:17,380 --> 00:57:19,500 This is one of our worst intersections 839 00:57:19,500 --> 00:57:23,000 for delays, for crashes, for, I mean, it's... 840 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:24,320 Every day, multiple times. 841 00:57:24,820 --> 00:57:28,120 We also insulted state, met design. 842 00:57:28,460 --> 00:57:28,720 We did. 843 00:57:29,060 --> 00:57:32,480 And we've been working on it for several years. 844 00:57:32,480 --> 00:57:36,420 as we're ready to finally picking it to bed. 845 00:57:36,980 --> 00:57:39,820 It may not have trees, but it will significantly make it safer. 846 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:47,060 I want you to know how long it's been working on the project to get it to go to bed, right? 847 00:57:47,280 --> 00:57:53,060 And so if we have really big concerns with it, I would prefer to address them now 848 00:57:54,060 --> 00:57:57,900 before we get the project bid and move forward with the bid. 849 00:57:57,900 --> 00:58:11,900 So I have a related question further north at 102 and Walton is the state in charge of the waltz and turn lanes or are we because the I noticed the other night, I'm sure you're aware of this. 850 00:58:12,080 --> 00:58:16,660 The traffic backed up to turn left to center was past the post office. 851 00:58:17,040 --> 00:58:19,520 That intersection is one that we are. 852 00:58:19,940 --> 00:58:24,100 We have several entities interested in that intersection so we. 853 00:58:24,100 --> 00:58:41,780 But Walton is our, Walton is ours, but the intersection is, yes, is, I mean, it's a highway that's going through. So we have not taken, so, yes, I hope to have, I will bring something back on that because I've had some questions on, but we, we hope to have some partnership in. 854 00:58:41,780 --> 00:58:42,920 Except something. 855 00:58:43,300 --> 00:58:45,880 Could we look at maybe making both lines 856 00:58:45,880 --> 00:58:47,560 when arrow turns left? 857 00:58:48,020 --> 00:58:51,120 Maybe taking both lines with a can turn left 858 00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,160 if you're in that line and want to turn left 859 00:58:53,160 --> 00:58:55,960 or you could go straight during that left hand. 860 00:58:56,040 --> 00:58:58,300 So you're turning two lanes if people can. 861 00:58:59,180 --> 00:58:59,740 And empty after. 862 00:59:00,060 --> 00:59:01,040 The problem is there's only one, 863 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,180 it's only one left turn lane. 864 00:59:04,160 --> 00:59:05,160 Right, but if you turn, 865 00:59:05,320 --> 00:59:09,160 but if you turn the turn lane and the left lane 866 00:59:09,160 --> 00:59:15,340 And you had an additional light that could say okay if you're in both those lanes you could you could turn left 867 00:59:15,340 --> 00:59:18,820 You could actually empty out. Yeah, because when I went around the trap 868 00:59:18,820 --> 00:59:21,900 I don't go that way people do that they go around and I went around it 869 00:59:21,900 --> 00:59:25,620 It was like ghost town after you got around that there was nobody in those other two lanes 870 00:59:25,620 --> 00:59:29,460 And so maybe if we could adjust that to where people could go straight or left 871 00:59:29,460 --> 00:59:35,220 We could take and turn both of them into that intersection without doing any easement changes or anything 872 00:59:36,300 --> 00:59:38,480 similarly to where we could we could do 873 00:59:40,060 --> 00:59:49,340 Another intersection until anyway, but that was my thoughts on that intersection is maybe we can plan two lanes of them review this conversation and have them look at that and move. 874 00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:51,180 I'm sure it's frustrating. 875 00:59:51,660 --> 00:59:53,440 Well, it is. 876 00:59:54,240 --> 00:59:54,900 We have. 877 00:59:55,420 --> 00:59:57,980 It needs to be addressed that intersection needs to be addressed. 878 00:59:58,200 --> 00:59:58,560 Thank you. 879 01:00:00,300 --> 01:00:01,260 Mayor. 880 01:00:04,100 --> 01:00:12,120 Yes. I'm for Tray and Landscape. We meet on March 19th. So it'll actually be next week. 881 01:00:12,340 --> 01:00:22,220 But I also wanted to say thank you to David and his parks and rec for the wonderful and amazing tour of the Adult Recreation Center. 882 01:00:26,440 --> 01:00:40,020 I think we have been around and I don't have anything tomorrow. We do have them. We are hosting municipally here at the whole health. So hopefully you are able to attend at least some of that meeting. 883 01:00:44,800 --> 01:00:46,560 I'm looking forward to a ton of weight.
