00:01:48,820 --> 00:01:48,987
s of traffic safety.

61
00:01:48,987 --> 00:01:50,421
We

62
00:01:50,421 --> 00:01:52,390
re gonna highlight current

00:01:52,390 --> 00:01:53,758
city programs, projects, and

64
00:01:53,758 --> 00:01:54,358
initiatives regarding traffic

65
00:01:54,358 --> 00:01:54,530
safety.

66
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:55,460
We

67
00:01:55,460 --> 00:01:55,727
re going to show the city

68
00:01:55,727 --> 00:01:56,895
s

69
00:01:56,895 --> 00:01:58,763
financial commitment to Traffic

70
00:01:58,763 --> 00:02:00,197
City, uh, traffic safety.

71
00:02:00,197 --> 00:02:00,966
Uh, and then we

72
00:02:00,966 --> 00:02:02,167
ll conclude

73
00:02:02,167 --> 00:02:04,402
with city council having

74
00:02:04,402 --> 00:02:06,402
discussion.

75
00:02:06,838 --> 00:02:07,305
So first I want to get into the

76
00:02:07,305 --> 00:02:08,639
5 e

77
00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,390
s of traffic safety.

78
00:02:11,243 --> 00:02:13,211
Now the 5 years of traffic

79
00:02:13,211 --> 00:02:14,679
safety are a comprehensive

80
00:02:14,679 --> 00:02:16,800
approach to improving roadway

81
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:17,583
safety for everyone. Uh, now

82
00:02:17,583 --> 00:02:17,983
this is a framework that

83
00:02:17,983 --> 00:02:19,983
s

84
00:02:20,786 --> 00:02:22,755
evolved over time, uh, starting

85
00:02:22,755 --> 00:02:23,589
in the 1920s, this was actually

86
00:02:23,589 --> 00:02:24,889
the three e

87
00:02:24,889 --> 00:02:26,158
s of traffic safety.

88
00:02:26,158 --> 00:02:26,659
Uh, so over the years we

89
00:02:26,659 --> 00:02:26,835
ve,

90
00:02:26,835 --> 00:02:28,694
we

91
00:02:28,694 --> 00:02:28,873
ve evolved a bit and uh now

92
00:02:28,873 --> 00:02:29,160
it

93
00:02:29,160 --> 00:02:30,464
s, it

94
00:02:30,464 --> 00:02:32,298
s industry standard

95
00:02:32,298 --> 00:02:32,864
that we have these five e

96
00:02:32,864 --> 00:02:33,999
s.

97
00:02:33,999 --> 00:02:35,134
Oh,

98
00:02:35,134 --> 00:02:36,535
Is that a little better? Am I

99
00:02:36,535 --> 00:02:38,403
not talking in the mic? I

100
00:02:38,403 --> 00:02:40,840
apologize. Well, thank you guys.

101
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,774
Uh, so the five e

102
00:02:41,774 --> 00:02:43,676
s of traffic

103
00:02:43,676 --> 00:02:45,144
safety are comprised of

104
00:02:45,144 --> 00:02:47,113
engineering, education,

105
00:02:47,113 --> 00:02:48,748
enforcement, encouragement and

106
00:02:48,748 --> 00:02:50,983
evaluation, uh, now really do

107
00:02:50,983 --> 00:02:51,685
want to make it clear that

108
00:02:51,685 --> 00:02:53,685
these 5 e

109
00:02:54,387 --> 00:02:56,356
s, uh, this is really

110
00:02:56,356 --> 00:02:56,756
a community comprehensive

111
00:02:56,756 --> 00:02:57,590
approach, so it

112
00:02:57,590 --> 00:02:57,990
s not just the

113
00:02:57,990 --> 00:02:59,358
city, it

114
00:02:59,358 --> 00:03:00,559
s also really engaging

115
00:03:00,559 --> 00:03:02,959
the public as well.

116
00:03:03,430 --> 00:03:04,697
Uh, so engineering is designing

117
00:03:04,697 --> 00:03:06,466
and maintaining roadway

118
00:03:06,466 --> 00:03:08,335
infrastructure to reduce risk

119
00:03:08,335 --> 00:03:09,970
and protect

120
00:03:09,970 --> 00:03:11,304
Uh, Education is teaching

121
00:03:11,304 --> 00:03:13,673
people safe behaviors and

122
00:03:13,673 --> 00:03:16,576
building awareness for all road

123
00:03:16,576 --> 00:03:18,478
users, enforcement is promoting

124
00:03:18,478 --> 00:03:19,913
safe behaviors and deterring

125
00:03:19,913 --> 00:03:21,515
deterring dangerous choices

126
00:03:21,515 --> 00:03:22,683
through fair and consistent

127
00:03:22,683 --> 00:03:24,683
enforcement.

128
00:03:25,119 --> 00:03:27,519
Encouragement is creating a

129
00:03:28,489 --> 00:03:30,889
culture that supports and

130
00:03:31,491 --> 00:03:33,491
reinforces reinforces positive,

131
00:03:33,794 --> 00:03:35,290
safe choices, and evaluation is

132
00:03:35,290 --> 00:03:37,429
making database decisions to

133
00:03:37,598 --> 00:03:39,330
analyze risks and implement

134
00:03:39,330 --> 00:03:40,534
countermeasures to to

135
00:03:40,534 --> 00:03:42,534
continuously improve our

136
00:03:44,972 --> 00:03:46,972
programs and projects.

137
00:03:47,208 --> 00:03:50,208
So engineering safer streets by

138
00:03:50,311 --> 00:03:53,470
design. Uh, so the city has

139
00:03:53,470 --> 00:03:54,140
over 45, uh, current and in

140
00:03:54,140 --> 00:03:56,140
progress.

141
00:03:57,885 --> 00:03:59,187
Projects, programs, and

142
00:03:59,187 --> 00:04:00,955
initiatives regarding

143
00:04:00,955 --> 00:04:01,489
engineering and infrastructure,

144
00:04:01,489 --> 00:04:01,734
um.

145
00:04:01,734 --> 00:04:02,690
Don

146
00:04:02,690 --> 00:04:03,991
t have all day to talk

147
00:04:03,991 --> 00:04:05,760
about all of them. I wish I did,

148
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:06,661
but this is, is a, uh, only a 2

149
00:04:06,661 --> 00:04:07,950
hour meeting, so I

150
00:04:07,950 --> 00:04:08,897
m gonna just

151
00:04:08,897 --> 00:04:10,732
highlight some of the more

152
00:04:10,732 --> 00:04:12,599
important of the bunch.

153
00:04:12,599 --> 00:04:13,168
All right, is that any better?

154
00:04:13,168 --> 00:04:14,636
Ok, I

155
00:04:14,636 --> 00:04:16,370
m trying not to eat the

156
00:04:16,370 --> 00:04:18,370
microphone.

157
00:04:18,807 --> 00:04:20,241
Uh, so the first of which is

158
00:04:20,241 --> 00:04:21,309
our citywide lowering of speed

159
00:04:21,309 --> 00:04:23,309
limits, that

160
00:04:23,511 --> 00:04:25,547
s per ab 43 and ab

161
00:04:25,547 --> 00:04:27,449
382, uh, so we did our first

162
00:04:27,449 --> 00:04:29,817
cut at lowering speed limits,

163
00:04:29,817 --> 00:04:32,620
uh, in 2022 and back in MAY of

164
00:04:32,620 --> 00:04:35,290
this year, council approved uh

165
00:04:35,290 --> 00:04:37,626
for staff to lower, uh, um.

166
00:04:37,626 --> 00:04:38,994
Roadway speeds on 13 different

167
00:04:38,994 --> 00:04:40,128
roadways, and this is really

168
00:04:40,128 --> 00:04:43,310
something that I wanted to be

169
00:04:43,310 --> 00:04:44,466
clear, is creating real results,

170
00:04:44,466 --> 00:04:46,670
uh, our traffic engineering

171
00:04:46,670 --> 00:04:48,370
team completed a traffic, uh,

172
00:04:48,370 --> 00:04:51,140
speed survey back in the summer

173
00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:51,353
of 2025, and that showed that

174
00:04:51,353 --> 00:04:52,641
we

175
00:04:52,641 --> 00:04:55,641
ve lowered speeds across the

176
00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:57,513
city and averaged 2.2 mph. Uh,

177
00:04:57,513 --> 00:04:58,680
so really it that showing that

178
00:04:58,680 --> 00:04:58,884
we are doing the right things,

179
00:04:58,884 --> 00:04:59,849
we

180
00:04:59,849 --> 00:05:01,784
re going in the right

181
00:05:01,784 --> 00:05:03,852
direction, a great results.

182
00:05:03,852 --> 00:05:05,821
Uh, we have an initiative where

183
00:05:05,821 --> 00:05:08,523
we are red curbing within

184
00:05:08,523 --> 00:05:08,741
school zones, uh, per the

185
00:05:08,741 --> 00:05:09,992
state

186
00:05:09,992 --> 00:05:12,610
s daylighting law to make

187
00:05:12,610 --> 00:05:13,362
sure that pedestrians, uh,

188
00:05:13,362 --> 00:05:14,698
specifically students and

189
00:05:14,698 --> 00:05:17,698
parents, uh, there are more

190
00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,600
visibility, uh, for. Oh,

191
00:05:20,970 --> 00:05:22,572
perfect. Ok, um.

192
00:05:22,572 --> 00:05:24,874
For more visibility for those

193
00:05:24,874 --> 00:05:25,750
students and and uh parents as

194
00:05:25,750 --> 00:05:25,841
they

195
00:05:25,841 --> 00:05:26,776
re walking through

196
00:05:26,776 --> 00:05:27,777
crosswalks, we

197
00:05:27,777 --> 00:05:28,745
re enhancing

198
00:05:28,745 --> 00:05:30,146
visibility at pedestrian

199
00:05:30,146 --> 00:05:31,614
crossings where improving

200
00:05:31,614 --> 00:05:32,749
bicycle and pedestrian

201
00:05:32,749 --> 00:05:34,718
facilities were optimizing

202
00:05:34,718 --> 00:05:36,386
traffic signal performance, and

203
00:05:36,386 --> 00:05:37,954
we are initiating an adaptive

204
00:05:37,954 --> 00:05:40,257
signal timing pilot program, uh,

205
00:05:40,257 --> 00:05:41,758
those two last ones, the

206
00:05:41,758 --> 00:05:44,940
traffic signal related items

207
00:05:44,940 --> 00:05:45,528
are really important for our

208
00:05:45,528 --> 00:05:47,497
corridors to help reduce

209
00:05:47,497 --> 00:05:49,666
queuing, um, that helps reduce

210
00:05:49,666 --> 00:05:50,400
the number of crashes, um, red

211
00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:52,400
light running.

212
00:05:53,303 --> 00:05:55,239
Things of that nature.

213
00:05:55,239 --> 00:05:58,241
We have a safe routes to school

214
00:05:58,241 --> 00:05:59,943
program, um, every year our

215
00:05:59,943 --> 00:06:01,212
traffic engineering team works

216
00:06:01,212 --> 00:06:03,447
with the various school

217
00:06:03,447 --> 00:06:04,882
districts, and we come up with

218
00:06:04,882 --> 00:06:06,882
important pedestrian and

219
00:06:07,283 --> 00:06:09,387
bicycle improvements, uh, this

220
00:06:09,387 --> 00:06:09,886
is a snippet of some of the

221
00:06:09,886 --> 00:06:10,287
improvements that we

222
00:06:10,287 --> 00:06:12,287
ve done

223
00:06:12,957 --> 00:06:14,124
with our fiscal year 26 program

224
00:06:14,124 --> 00:06:16,394
that ended uh just a couple of

225
00:06:16,394 --> 00:06:18,462
months back on the top left, we

226
00:06:18,462 --> 00:06:20,980
have a new signalized uh

227
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:20,304
crosswalk along El Camino Real,

228
00:06:20,304 --> 00:06:21,132
that

229
00:06:21,132 --> 00:06:23,532
s at Crest Street.

230
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:25,470
Uh, bottom left is a new

231
00:06:25,470 --> 00:06:27,305
rectangular rapid flashing

232
00:06:27,305 --> 00:06:29,640
beacon at Requasia and then on

233
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:33,840
the right is a new rrfb at

234
00:06:34,412 --> 00:06:36,412
Vulcan and Glaucus.

235
00:06:36,514 --> 00:06:38,382
Not only do we care about

236
00:06:38,382 --> 00:06:39,850
having safe crossings for

237
00:06:39,850 --> 00:06:41,686
pedestrian and bicyclists along

238
00:06:41,686 --> 00:06:43,588
all of our roadways, but we

239
00:06:43,588 --> 00:06:44,723
also care about having safe

240
00:06:44,723 --> 00:06:47,123
crossings along the railroad

241
00:06:47,524 --> 00:06:49,524
tracks. Um.

242
00:06:50,862 --> 00:06:52,930
We have 3 distinct projects

243
00:06:52,930 --> 00:06:54,566
with 6 pedestrian and bicycle

244
00:06:54,566 --> 00:06:56,000
crossings, uh, that are in

245
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,602
progress right now uh with the

246
00:06:57,602 --> 00:06:59,137
city, uh, now some really great

247
00:06:59,137 --> 00:07:01,500
news, if, if you have not heard,

248
00:07:01,500 --> 00:07:03,574
uh, the city was actually

249
00:07:03,574 --> 00:07:05,144
awarded a $33.6 million dollar

250
00:07:05,144 --> 00:07:06,478
grant by the Federal Railroad

251
00:07:06,478 --> 00:07:08,313
Administration. Uh, we heard

252
00:07:08,313 --> 00:07:08,522
about a week and a half ago, uh,

253
00:07:08,522 --> 00:07:10,522
that

254
00:07:11,183 --> 00:07:13,510
s gonna help make these 3

255
00:07:13,510 --> 00:07:14,420
projects a reality. Uh, two of

256
00:07:14,420 --> 00:07:16,555
the, uh, renderings that you

257
00:07:16,555 --> 00:07:18,230
see here, uh, those are related

258
00:07:18,230 --> 00:07:20,423
toward Leucadia at grade

259
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:21,860
crossing projects. So again,

260
00:07:21,860 --> 00:07:23,860
really important safety

261
00:07:25,664 --> 00:07:25,859
infrastructure improvements.

262
00:07:25,859 --> 00:07:26,865
We

263
00:07:26,865 --> 00:07:28,534
ve been installing

264
00:07:28,534 --> 00:07:28,742
pedestrian refuge islands. So

265
00:07:28,742 --> 00:07:29,635
you

266
00:07:29,635 --> 00:07:31,504
re seeing more of these

267
00:07:31,504 --> 00:07:33,105
across the city. Uh, this

268
00:07:33,105 --> 00:07:34,507
really helps break long

269
00:07:34,507 --> 00:07:35,941
crossings into smaller, more

270
00:07:35,941 --> 00:07:38,341
manageable segments. Uh, this

271
00:07:38,410 --> 00:07:39,645
here is on Highway 101 at 8th

272
00:07:39,645 --> 00:07:42,450
Street. Uh, we recently

273
00:07:42,281 --> 00:07:44,617
installed a new refuge island

274
00:07:44,617 --> 00:07:46,386
on Lucadia Boulevard at Hygia.

275
00:07:46,386 --> 00:07:47,954
We have a new one planned for

276
00:07:47,954 --> 00:07:50,723
Saxony at the ymca, uh, and

277
00:07:50,723 --> 00:07:52,225
then we also have one, plan per

278
00:07:52,225 --> 00:07:53,393
council direction at the

279
00:07:53,393 --> 00:07:55,793
Village Parkway at Parkdale

280
00:07:56,796 --> 00:07:57,130
Lane.

281
00:07:57,130 --> 00:07:58,164
We

282
00:07:58,164 --> 00:08:00,100
re installing rectangular

283
00:08:00,100 --> 00:08:00,667
rapid flashing beacons or RRFBs,

284
00:08:00,667 --> 00:08:00,900
you

285
00:08:00,900 --> 00:08:01,300
re, you

286
00:08:01,300 --> 00:08:03,360
re seeing these

287
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:05,500
around town. Uh, this would be

288
00:08:05,500 --> 00:08:06,139
something that we would be

289
00:08:06,139 --> 00:08:08,139
installing at uncontrolled

290
00:08:08,374 --> 00:08:09,843
intersections to help provide a

291
00:08:09,843 --> 00:08:11,110
higher visibility for our

292
00:08:11,110 --> 00:08:12,312
pedestrians that are crossing

293
00:08:12,312 --> 00:08:13,180
the roadway. Uh, it

294
00:08:13,180 --> 00:08:15,480
s also an

295
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:16,750
active measure to improve

296
00:08:16,750 --> 00:08:18,619
driver awareness for pedestrian

297
00:08:18,619 --> 00:08:19,920
activity, and one of the really

298
00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:20,128
important aspects here is it

299
00:08:20,128 --> 00:08:21,621
s

300
00:08:21,621 --> 00:08:24,621
cost effective solution that we

301
00:08:24,658 --> 00:08:27,580
can deploy very quickly.

302
00:08:27,930 --> 00:08:28,162
Uh, leading pedestrian interval,

303
00:08:28,162 --> 00:08:29,463
uh, or lpi, that

304
00:08:29,463 --> 00:08:29,996
s a recent

305
00:08:29,996 --> 00:08:30,930
project that we

306
00:08:30,930 --> 00:08:32,466
ve installed at

307
00:08:32,466 --> 00:08:33,600
uh nearly all of our signalized

308
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:36,000
intersections, and what that

309
00:08:36,337 --> 00:08:37,705
does is that allows pedestrians

310
00:08:37,705 --> 00:08:39,106
to start crossing in the

311
00:08:39,106 --> 00:08:41,142
crosswalk before vehicles are

312
00:08:41,142 --> 00:08:42,376
able to go, um, and that really

313
00:08:42,376 --> 00:08:44,776
helps reduce conflicts between

314
00:08:46,380 --> 00:08:46,592
pedestrians and vehicles.

315
00:08:46,592 --> 00:08:48,820
We

316
00:08:48,820 --> 00:08:49,617
re improving visibility with

317
00:08:49,617 --> 00:08:50,651
our signal upgrades, so over

318
00:08:50,651 --> 00:08:51,252
the last couple months, you

319
00:08:51,252 --> 00:08:52,820
ve

320
00:08:52,820 --> 00:08:55,820
likely seen our initiative, uh,

321
00:08:56,190 --> 00:08:58,927
where we are starting to, uh,

322
00:08:58,927 --> 00:09:00,950
install a high visibility

323
00:09:00,950 --> 00:09:01,896
reflective traffic signal

324
00:09:01,896 --> 00:09:03,297
backplates uh on our traffic

325
00:09:03,297 --> 00:09:04,899
signals. So this really helps

326
00:09:04,899 --> 00:09:05,900
reduce red light running and

327
00:09:05,900 --> 00:09:06,767
certain types of intersection

328
00:09:06,767 --> 00:09:08,569
crashes.

329
00:09:08,569 --> 00:09:09,904
As an example, uh, this is

330
00:09:09,904 --> 00:09:11,904
Highway 101 at Lucadia

331
00:09:11,940 --> 00:09:13,407
Boulevard. Uh, you see the, the

332
00:09:13,407 --> 00:09:15,377
before on the left and the

333
00:09:15,377 --> 00:09:16,845
after on the right, and you see

334
00:09:16,845 --> 00:09:19,580
Leuccadia Roadside Park in the

335
00:09:19,580 --> 00:09:21,350
background, uh, really a nice

336
00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:22,985
heightened, uh, ability for us

337
00:09:22,985 --> 00:09:25,200
to, uh, show our uh traffic

338
00:09:25,200 --> 00:09:27,200
signals.

339
00:09:28,489 --> 00:09:28,705
Ok, onto e number 2, education.

340
00:09:28,705 --> 00:09:29,558
We

341
00:09:29,558 --> 00:09:31,558
re reaching residents,

342
00:09:31,660 --> 00:09:32,427
students and visitors.

343
00:09:32,427 --> 00:09:33,695
Uh, the sheriff

344
00:09:33,695 --> 00:09:35,297
s office does a

345
00:09:35,297 --> 00:09:37,466
know your limits campaign to

346
00:09:37,466 --> 00:09:38,667
help educate, uh, limits of

347
00:09:38,667 --> 00:09:39,668
intoxication for drivers. They

348
00:09:39,668 --> 00:09:41,937
go out to the community a

349
00:09:41,937 --> 00:09:43,305
couple of times a year, uh,

350
00:09:43,305 --> 00:09:43,512
really, really great event.

351
00:09:43,512 --> 00:09:45,512
i

352
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:47,943
ve been out before, um, and

353
00:09:47,943 --> 00:09:49,511
it helps individuals that are

354
00:09:49,511 --> 00:09:51,947
out on the town, understand

355
00:09:51,947 --> 00:09:54,150
what that level of intoxication

356
00:09:54,150 --> 00:09:55,718
truly feels like.

357
00:09:55,718 --> 00:09:57,186
You have bicycle education and

358
00:09:57,186 --> 00:09:59,988
safety courses, so our parks

359
00:09:59,988 --> 00:10:02,491
and rec department, um, twice a

360
00:10:02,491 --> 00:10:04,564
month they offer a 2 hour

361
00:10:04,564 --> 00:10:06,195
bicycle skills and education

362
00:10:06,195 --> 00:10:07,330
safety course, uh, this is

363
00:10:07,330 --> 00:10:08,130
always packed. Uh, it

364
00:10:08,130 --> 00:10:09,332
s a great

365
00:10:09,332 --> 00:10:10,667
event, highly recommend you

366
00:10:10,667 --> 00:10:11,634
attend it if you have not, uh,

367
00:10:11,634 --> 00:10:14,537
especially if you have a

368
00:10:14,537 --> 00:10:16,537
younger bike riders.

369
00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:18,942
And then we do e-bike safety

370
00:10:18,942 --> 00:10:21,310
training and public outreach.

371
00:10:21,310 --> 00:10:23,313
So on AUGUST 4th, uh, we had a

372
00:10:23,313 --> 00:10:25,140
joint city and Sheriff e-bike

373
00:10:25,140 --> 00:10:26,983
safety workshop.

374
00:10:26,983 --> 00:10:28,651
And on AUGUST 19th, city

375
00:10:28,651 --> 00:10:31,651
council held an e-bike safety

376
00:10:32,890 --> 00:10:34,890
public meeting.

377
00:10:34,900 --> 00:10:34,925
Ok, onto e number 3,

378
00:10:34,925 --> 00:10:35,392
enforcement. We

379
00:10:35,392 --> 00:10:37,392
re deterring

380
00:10:37,828 --> 00:10:39,796
dangerous behaviors.

381
00:10:39,796 --> 00:10:41,664
In fiscal year 26, uh, city

382
00:10:41,664 --> 00:10:43,133
council funded 2 new traffic

383
00:10:43,133 --> 00:10:44,567
enforcement deputies.

384
00:10:44,567 --> 00:10:45,469
Uh, the sheriff

385
00:10:45,469 --> 00:10:47,137
s office does

386
00:10:47,137 --> 00:10:48,272
monthly traffic blitzes with

387
00:10:48,272 --> 00:10:50,272
targeted enforcement.

388
00:10:50,974 --> 00:10:53,279
Uh, they do e-bike enforcement,

389
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:54,979
including seizures of e-bikes.

390
00:10:54,979 --> 00:10:56,480
And want to make a special note

391
00:10:56,480 --> 00:10:59,216
that city council is gonna hold

392
00:10:59,216 --> 00:11:00,584
a public meeting to discuss and

393
00:11:00,584 --> 00:11:02,984
explore the applicability of

394
00:11:03,454 --> 00:11:06,357
red light camera detection for

395
00:11:06,357 --> 00:11:06,990
sb 720 on SEPTEMBER 9th of this

396
00:11:06,990 --> 00:11:07,525
year.

397
00:11:07,525 --> 00:11:07,959
Now with that, I

398
00:11:07,959 --> 00:11:09,125
m gonna hand

399
00:11:09,125 --> 00:11:09,927
it over to Captain Watts to

400
00:11:09,927 --> 00:11:12,960
talk a little bit more about

401
00:11:12,960 --> 00:11:14,310
enforcement.

402
00:11:14,310 --> 00:11:15,133
Thank you, Dan, um, Captain

403
00:11:15,133 --> 00:11:15,600
Watts with the sheriff

404
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:17,680
s office

405
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:18,936
out of the North Coastal

406
00:11:18,936 --> 00:11:20,905
Station, um, you know.

407
00:11:20,905 --> 00:11:22,673
Where I fit in and in this

408
00:11:22,673 --> 00:11:25,673
conversation, I think is very

409
00:11:25,777 --> 00:11:28,113
important, um, and, you know,

410
00:11:28,113 --> 00:11:30,810
enforcement in itself is

411
00:11:30,810 --> 00:11:31,583
obviously important and we have

412
00:11:31,583 --> 00:11:33,385
done more we have really

413
00:11:33,385 --> 00:11:36,287
maximized our resources we have

414
00:11:36,287 --> 00:11:39,590
looked at how we can really

415
00:11:39,590 --> 00:11:41,660
change driver behavior with, um,

416
00:11:41,660 --> 00:11:43,161
maximizing enforcement, but.

417
00:11:43,161 --> 00:11:44,528
For me, more of the

418
00:11:44,528 --> 00:11:46,528
conversation, you know,

419
00:11:46,898 --> 00:11:47,765
education plays a huge piece in

420
00:11:47,765 --> 00:11:48,266
this as well, and that

421
00:11:48,266 --> 00:11:50,266
s why we

422
00:11:50,836 --> 00:11:51,570
have done a lot of education,

423
00:11:51,570 --> 00:11:52,203
um, one of the slides I

424
00:11:52,203 --> 00:11:54,203
ll show

425
00:11:55,107 --> 00:11:56,108
here in a second, you know, it

426
00:11:56,108 --> 00:11:57,142
captures how we

427
00:11:57,142 --> 00:11:58,444
ve maximize our

428
00:11:58,444 --> 00:12:00,346
enforcement, how we are doing

429
00:12:00,346 --> 00:12:01,846
more out on our roadways, uh,

430
00:12:01,846 --> 00:12:02,580
to change driver behavior, but

431
00:12:02,580 --> 00:12:04,216
what it doesn

432
00:12:04,216 --> 00:12:06,585
t capture is the

433
00:12:06,585 --> 00:12:08,720
countless contacts that we have

434
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:09,888
with the community that um you

435
00:12:09,888 --> 00:12:11,256
know, results in the, uh, in a

436
00:12:11,256 --> 00:12:11,490
warning or that it

437
00:12:11,490 --> 00:12:12,625
s a.

438
00:12:12,625 --> 00:12:12,833
Chance for education. It

439
00:12:12,833 --> 00:12:14,160
s a

440
00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:16,280
chance to have that

441
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,130
communication and, you know, I,

442
00:12:18,130 --> 00:12:19,398
I, I do believe that, uh, yes,

443
00:12:19,398 --> 00:12:21,233
enforcement is necessary, but a

444
00:12:21,233 --> 00:12:22,501
lot of times the person that

445
00:12:22,501 --> 00:12:23,669
leaves with a warning comes

446
00:12:23,669 --> 00:12:24,604
away with just as much as

447
00:12:24,604 --> 00:12:25,604
somebody that leaves with a

448
00:12:25,604 --> 00:12:26,639
ticket. So I think it

449
00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:28,508
s, uh,

450
00:12:28,508 --> 00:12:30,143
appropriate, um, that we

451
00:12:30,143 --> 00:12:32,111
balance that and we make sure

452
00:12:32,111 --> 00:12:33,313
that uh for one that we are

453
00:12:33,313 --> 00:12:35,615
doing that enforcement. We are

454
00:12:35,615 --> 00:12:38,615
maximizing it, but when there

455
00:12:38,618 --> 00:12:40,120
is room for education that we,

456
00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:41,154
uh, give some education. Um,

457
00:12:41,154 --> 00:12:42,488
another part of that that.

458
00:12:42,488 --> 00:12:44,488
Um,

459
00:12:46,920 --> 00:12:48,328
I think is equally important is

460
00:12:48,328 --> 00:12:49,696
the community and working with

461
00:12:49,696 --> 00:12:52,960
our community partners to

462
00:12:52,999 --> 00:12:55,670
address some of these, um,

463
00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:56,470
concerned areas on our roadways

464
00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:58,271
that need more focused

465
00:12:58,271 --> 00:13:00,600
enforcement or just need us to

466
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:00,273
go out there and see what the

467
00:13:00,273 --> 00:13:01,942
community

468
00:13:01,942 --> 00:13:03,710
s seeing, um, I, I

469
00:13:03,710 --> 00:13:05,746
mean recently we went out on a

470
00:13:05,746 --> 00:13:07,514
bike ride, um, and we actually

471
00:13:07,514 --> 00:13:08,982
rode with community members. We

472
00:13:08,982 --> 00:13:11,952
rode around the city and we

473
00:13:11,952 --> 00:13:13,554
looked at areas from their

474
00:13:13,554 --> 00:13:14,921
perspective on.

475
00:13:14,921 --> 00:13:16,590
Uh, where we could, we could do

476
00:13:16,590 --> 00:13:18,125
more enforcement and even other

477
00:13:18,125 --> 00:13:21,294
areas that we can improve as a

478
00:13:21,294 --> 00:13:23,764
whole with the city, um, so, uh,

479
00:13:23,764 --> 00:13:25,965
working with our community, um,

480
00:13:25,965 --> 00:13:28,869
and bringing them in has been

481
00:13:28,869 --> 00:13:31,272
such a reward working with Safe

482
00:13:31,272 --> 00:13:34,272
Streets and uh hearing the

483
00:13:34,608 --> 00:13:35,943
ideas and uh our our mts

484
00:13:35,943 --> 00:13:37,445
commission has been wonderful.

485
00:13:37,445 --> 00:13:39,480
They have really been a huge

486
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,682
help, um, but I think that that

487
00:13:41,682 --> 00:13:43,451
is important is really engaging

488
00:13:43,451 --> 00:13:45,451
with the community.

489
00:13:45,853 --> 00:13:47,455
Doing the enforcement and also

490
00:13:47,455 --> 00:13:48,922
that education and I will say

491
00:13:48,922 --> 00:13:51,659
you know as a whole, as we go

492
00:13:51,659 --> 00:13:55,259
into the slides, I think that

493
00:13:55,430 --> 00:13:57,731
that whole um circle approach

494
00:13:57,731 --> 00:13:59,167
is where and how we have gotten

495
00:13:59,167 --> 00:14:00,768
to where we are now. So next

496
00:14:00,768 --> 00:14:02,704
slide, please. So if you look,

497
00:14:02,704 --> 00:14:04,239
um, once again, uh, I have

498
00:14:04,239 --> 00:14:06,410
always said that I am always

499
00:14:06,410 --> 00:14:06,608
looking to maximize our

500
00:14:06,608 --> 00:14:07,542
resources. I

501
00:14:07,542 --> 00:14:09,542
m always looking

502
00:14:10,645 --> 00:14:11,813
for those, uh, deputy initiated

503
00:14:11,813 --> 00:14:12,947
activities, those proactive

504
00:14:12,947 --> 00:14:14,947
contacts to

505
00:14:14,950 --> 00:14:17,352
Improve. So improving off of,

506
00:14:17,352 --> 00:14:18,554
uh, 2025, you can see that we

507
00:14:18,554 --> 00:14:20,222
are continuing to approve this

508
00:14:20,222 --> 00:14:23,910
year. We are, we are ahead of

509
00:14:23,910 --> 00:14:24,326
where we were last year, and we

510
00:14:24,326 --> 00:14:25,994
continue that upward trend, um,

511
00:14:25,994 --> 00:14:28,464
and this is the momentum that

512
00:14:28,464 --> 00:14:29,931
we continue to strive for and

513
00:14:29,931 --> 00:14:31,900
and build upon, um, but you

514
00:14:31,900 --> 00:14:32,710
know.

515
00:14:32,710 --> 00:14:34,710
It

516
00:14:34,336 --> 00:14:36,205
s only meaningful if the

517
00:14:36,205 --> 00:14:38,206
results are meaningful, um, and

518
00:14:38,206 --> 00:14:39,775
so when I look at, ok, we are

519
00:14:39,775 --> 00:14:42,780
maximizing our enforcement, but

520
00:14:42,780 --> 00:14:43,979
the real goal is to change

521
00:14:43,979 --> 00:14:44,980
driver behavior so that our

522
00:14:44,980 --> 00:14:46,182
roadways are safer. So next

523
00:14:46,182 --> 00:14:46,749
slide please.

524
00:14:46,749 --> 00:14:47,617
So that

525
00:14:47,617 --> 00:14:49,117
s when this comes, you

526
00:14:49,117 --> 00:14:51,854
know, I, I constantly am

527
00:14:51,854 --> 00:14:53,890
looking at this to see monthly

528
00:14:53,890 --> 00:14:55,900
where we are as far as

529
00:14:55,900 --> 00:14:57,490
collisions throughout the city

530
00:14:58,727 --> 00:15:01,164
and as you can see, um, we are.

531
00:15:01,164 --> 00:15:03,800
We have less collisions this

532
00:15:03,800 --> 00:15:06,669
year so far than we did last

533
00:15:06,669 --> 00:15:09,339
year. Um, those are, uh, the

534
00:15:09,339 --> 00:15:10,707
results of everything I

535
00:15:10,707 --> 00:15:13,176
mentioned before and with the

536
00:15:13,176 --> 00:15:13,409
enforcement, but I really think,

537
00:15:13,409 --> 00:15:14,610
and I

538
00:15:14,610 --> 00:15:16,790
m optimistic to think

539
00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:17,513
that we are changing that

540
00:15:17,513 --> 00:15:18,448
driver behavior. People are

541
00:15:18,448 --> 00:15:18,982
slowing down with some of the

542
00:15:18,982 --> 00:15:19,648
measures that we

543
00:15:19,648 --> 00:15:21,648
ve done with

544
00:15:21,884 --> 00:15:24,688
the city, um, some of the

545
00:15:24,688 --> 00:15:26,880
infrastructure change, um, I

546
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:27,157
think people are paying more

547
00:15:27,157 --> 00:15:27,490
attention. Um, they

548
00:15:27,490 --> 00:15:28,625
re not on

549
00:15:28,625 --> 00:15:29,192
their cell phones like they

550
00:15:29,192 --> 00:15:29,393
were.

551
00:15:29,393 --> 00:15:30,760
They

552
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,628
re not speeding as much as

553
00:15:31,628 --> 00:15:31,828
they were, um, we

554
00:15:31,828 --> 00:15:32,162
re, we

555
00:15:32,162 --> 00:15:33,163
re

556
00:15:33,163 --> 00:15:35,566
really putting that message out

557
00:15:35,566 --> 00:15:36,600
to stop at stop signs, stop at

558
00:15:36,600 --> 00:15:37,735
red lights. Um, it

559
00:15:37,735 --> 00:15:39,269
s not worth.

560
00:15:39,269 --> 00:15:41,138
Running a red light or a stop

561
00:15:41,138 --> 00:15:44,800
sign, putting everybody else on

562
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:45,800
the roadway, um, in danger. So,

563
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:45,442
uh, I am happy we

564
00:15:45,442 --> 00:15:46,910
re with where

565
00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:48,846
we are. I think that, um, you

566
00:15:48,846 --> 00:15:51,248
know, the summertime, we get so

567
00:15:51,248 --> 00:15:53,750
many people that come into our,

568
00:15:53,750 --> 00:15:56,454
um, city to enjoy our beaches

569
00:15:56,454 --> 00:15:56,654
and our establishments, um, and

570
00:15:56,654 --> 00:15:58,220
that

571
00:15:58,220 --> 00:16:00,257
s when traditionally we

572
00:16:00,257 --> 00:16:01,993
have seen a rise in collisions,

573
00:16:01,993 --> 00:16:03,293
but I really think that because

574
00:16:03,293 --> 00:16:03,594
the word has gotten out, we

575
00:16:03,594 --> 00:16:05,594
ve

576
00:16:06,264 --> 00:16:07,865
placed, um, even our, uh,

577
00:16:07,865 --> 00:16:08,666
digital signs as you come into

578
00:16:08,666 --> 00:16:09,967
our community.

579
00:16:09,967 --> 00:16:10,868
To let people know, to slow

580
00:16:10,868 --> 00:16:11,569
down, um, we

581
00:16:11,569 --> 00:16:12,300
re paying

582
00:16:12,300 --> 00:16:13,700
attention. There

583
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:14,972
s more of us

584
00:16:14,972 --> 00:16:15,607
out there and we are doing more

585
00:16:15,607 --> 00:16:16,274
enforcement, so I

586
00:16:16,274 --> 00:16:17,410
m happy with

587
00:16:17,410 --> 00:16:17,275
where we are. There

588
00:16:17,275 --> 00:16:18,409
s still

589
00:16:18,409 --> 00:16:19,244
room for improvement. We will

590
00:16:19,244 --> 00:16:20,578
continue to improve.

591
00:16:20,578 --> 00:16:22,578
Next slide.

592
00:16:22,647 --> 00:16:24,916
Um, this was one of the areas

593
00:16:24,916 --> 00:16:26,751
that when I was looking at our,

594
00:16:26,751 --> 00:16:28,751
uh, DUIs.

595
00:16:30,555 --> 00:16:32,557
You know, um, I wanted, and we,

596
00:16:32,557 --> 00:16:34,593
I think, needed at the time and,

597
00:16:34,593 --> 00:16:36,127
um, when we presented it to the

598
00:16:36,127 --> 00:16:38,329
city and to the council and

599
00:16:38,329 --> 00:16:41,233
mayor that we really needed

600
00:16:41,233 --> 00:16:44,200
that extra enforcement for our

601
00:16:44,200 --> 00:16:46,271
DUIs and when we were able to

602
00:16:46,271 --> 00:16:47,639
add those two dui, uh, deputies

603
00:16:47,639 --> 00:16:49,374
that are solely out there

604
00:16:49,374 --> 00:16:50,876
looking to take these impaired

605
00:16:50,876 --> 00:16:53,876
drivers off our roadways to

606
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:56,448
make them safer. Um, we saw our

607
00:16:56,448 --> 00:16:56,849
arrests go up, but we also

608
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:58,484
started to.

609
00:16:58,484 --> 00:16:59,885
See that there were more ride

610
00:16:59,885 --> 00:17:01,200
shares at some of our

611
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:02,588
establishments at the end of

612
00:17:02,588 --> 00:17:03,889
the, at the end of the night,

613
00:17:03,889 --> 00:17:04,146
which is a positive thing

614
00:17:04,146 --> 00:17:05,240
that

615
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,525
s what we want. We want

616
00:17:06,525 --> 00:17:08,327
people to make those smart

617
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:09,962
decisions, not get in their car,

618
00:17:09,962 --> 00:17:10,262
um, while they, while they

619
00:17:10,262 --> 00:17:10,963
re

620
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:12,165
intoxicated, and that

621
00:17:12,165 --> 00:17:13,432
s where

622
00:17:13,432 --> 00:17:14,467
uh the know your limits. I

623
00:17:14,467 --> 00:17:15,534
think that was huge. We went

624
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:16,669
out there with the community

625
00:17:16,669 --> 00:17:20,269
and there were so many people

626
00:17:20,339 --> 00:17:21,440
that came up to our booth as an

627
00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:22,974
educational piece and they blew

628
00:17:22,974 --> 00:17:24,810
in our breathalyzer and they

629
00:17:24,810 --> 00:17:26,546
were astonished that they were

630
00:17:26,546 --> 00:17:27,480
over the legal limit, um, and

631
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:29,415
they.

632
00:17:29,415 --> 00:17:30,884
Many of them said, I thought I

633
00:17:30,884 --> 00:17:32,850
probably was ok to drive and

634
00:17:32,850 --> 00:17:32,952
they made smarter choices that

635
00:17:32,952 --> 00:17:33,787
night, and it

636
00:17:33,787 --> 00:17:34,287
s that ripple

637
00:17:34,287 --> 00:17:34,854
effect that we

638
00:17:34,854 --> 00:17:35,530
re looking for.

639
00:17:35,530 --> 00:17:35,855
So we

640
00:17:35,855 --> 00:17:36,655
ve done it twice, we

641
00:17:36,655 --> 00:17:38,655
ll

642
00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:42,261
continue to do those, um.

643
00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:43,863
And getting ahead of those DUIs

644
00:17:43,863 --> 00:17:45,866
is so important because if we

645
00:17:45,866 --> 00:17:48,734
can take them off the roadway

646
00:17:48,734 --> 00:17:50,403
before a collision, before they

647
00:17:50,403 --> 00:17:52,572
crash into our infrastructure,

648
00:17:52,572 --> 00:17:54,107
um, then we are all safer, and

649
00:17:54,107 --> 00:17:54,674
that is the commitment that, uh,

650
00:17:54,674 --> 00:17:55,675
I make. That

651
00:17:55,675 --> 00:17:56,743
s the commitment

652
00:17:56,743 --> 00:17:57,277
that our deputies are out there

653
00:17:57,277 --> 00:17:59,112
making.

654
00:17:59,112 --> 00:18:01,480
Next slide.

655
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:03,160
And then once again, when we

656
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:03,228
look at the results, um, yes,

657
00:18:03,228 --> 00:18:03,983
we

658
00:18:03,983 --> 00:18:05,352
re doing more enforcement,

659
00:18:05,352 --> 00:18:07,821
but what does that look like?

660
00:18:07,821 --> 00:18:08,756
And what it looks like is we

661
00:18:08,756 --> 00:18:10,756
re

662
00:18:11,658 --> 00:18:14,461
having less dui collisions. So,

663
00:18:14,461 --> 00:18:17,398
our infrastructure is not being,

664
00:18:17,398 --> 00:18:19,834
um, constantly, uh, hit, um, or

665
00:18:19,834 --> 00:18:22,234
roundabouts or are being

666
00:18:22,236 --> 00:18:22,412
navigated appropriately and, um,

667
00:18:22,412 --> 00:18:23,137
we

668
00:18:23,137 --> 00:18:25,720
re not seeing those

669
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,907
collisions as a result of

670
00:18:26,907 --> 00:18:27,708
impaired driving, um, so I

671
00:18:27,708 --> 00:18:28,876
think that, you know, as long

672
00:18:28,876 --> 00:18:30,111
as we keep those.

673
00:18:30,111 --> 00:18:30,678
Um,

674
00:18:30,678 --> 00:18:32,212
And we

675
00:18:32,212 --> 00:18:34,515
re, we continue to focus

676
00:18:34,515 --> 00:18:36,450
on, yes, the enforcement, but

677
00:18:36,450 --> 00:18:38,252
we should see some positive

678
00:18:38,252 --> 00:18:39,820
results as well. And I think we

679
00:18:39,820 --> 00:18:39,993
are seeing that. I think I

680
00:18:39,993 --> 00:18:41,356
m

681
00:18:41,356 --> 00:18:42,624
happy on the road that we are

682
00:18:42,624 --> 00:18:43,157
going. Like I said, there

683
00:18:43,157 --> 00:18:45,157
s

684
00:18:46,127 --> 00:18:48,429
always room for improvement, um,

685
00:18:48,429 --> 00:18:50,310
and I have committed many times

686
00:18:50,310 --> 00:18:52,800
that that will be my commitment

687
00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:54,669
is that we are consistently and

688
00:18:54,669 --> 00:18:57,690
constantly looking for outside

689
00:18:57,710 --> 00:18:58,907
of the box ideas, um, the

690
00:18:58,907 --> 00:19:00,750
traffic safety monthly, uh,

691
00:19:00,750 --> 00:19:00,274
enforcement, you know, that

692
00:19:00,274 --> 00:19:00,775
that

693
00:19:00,775 --> 00:19:02,610
s something that.

694
00:19:02,610 --> 00:19:03,411
It now has gotten to other

695
00:19:03,411 --> 00:19:04,245
cities. I

696
00:19:04,245 --> 00:19:05,130
ve had phone calls

697
00:19:05,130 --> 00:19:06,470
from other cities. I

698
00:19:06,470 --> 00:19:08,470
ve had, uh,

699
00:19:08,250 --> 00:19:10,850
phone calls from other station

700
00:19:10,850 --> 00:19:11,386
captains asking like, what are

701
00:19:11,386 --> 00:19:13,654
you guys doing over there? What,

702
00:19:13,654 --> 00:19:14,823
what, tell me more about these,

703
00:19:14,823 --> 00:19:15,570
um, enforcement days because

704
00:19:15,570 --> 00:19:16,858
it

705
00:19:16,858 --> 00:19:18,426
s not often that a captain

706
00:19:18,426 --> 00:19:20,329
and a lieutenants and all the

707
00:19:20,329 --> 00:19:22,264
sergeants and your detectives

708
00:19:22,264 --> 00:19:23,799
are all in uniform in a patrol

709
00:19:23,799 --> 00:19:24,199
car out making stops. And I

710
00:19:24,199 --> 00:19:25,434
m

711
00:19:25,434 --> 00:19:26,134
out there making stops and I

712
00:19:26,134 --> 00:19:28,134
m

713
00:19:28,170 --> 00:19:28,736
talking to the community, um,

714
00:19:28,736 --> 00:19:29,671
but that

715
00:19:29,671 --> 00:19:31,106
s important because it

716
00:19:31,106 --> 00:19:33,506
takes all of us.

717
00:19:33,509 --> 00:19:33,712
To make those changes. Um, so

718
00:19:33,712 --> 00:19:34,610
I

719
00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:37,880
m proud of the efforts that

720
00:19:37,880 --> 00:19:39,248
we have, uh, made, um, and we

721
00:19:39,248 --> 00:19:41,217
will continue to, to push

722
00:19:41,217 --> 00:19:42,818
forward, uh, roadway safety

723
00:19:42,818 --> 00:19:45,200
will be my priority. Vision

724
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,223
Zero, I do not want to lose one

725
00:19:47,223 --> 00:19:48,223
life on our roadways, um.

726
00:19:48,223 --> 00:19:50,626
And so anything and everything

727
00:19:50,626 --> 00:19:54,300
that I can do to prevent that

728
00:19:54,300 --> 00:19:55,640
and to educate our drivers, our,

729
00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:55,665
uh, bicyclists, our

730
00:19:55,665 --> 00:19:56,980
e-bicyclists, I

731
00:19:56,980 --> 00:19:58,980
m gonna

732
00:20:00,690 --> 00:20:02,469
continue to do that.

733
00:20:02,939 --> 00:20:04,874
And working with our uh with

734
00:20:04,874 --> 00:20:06,843
the uh traffic mobility

735
00:20:06,843 --> 00:20:08,744
commission, um, you know, when

736
00:20:08,744 --> 00:20:10,680
I started really looking at the,

737
00:20:10,680 --> 00:20:13,680
the information that we were

738
00:20:14,450 --> 00:20:15,180
providing them, um, it, it.

739
00:20:15,180 --> 00:20:17,180
It wasn

740
00:20:17,187 --> 00:20:20,187
t what, um, it needed

741
00:20:20,257 --> 00:20:22,292
to be. Um, if we truly want to

742
00:20:22,292 --> 00:20:24,660
give them the tools to, um,

743
00:20:24,660 --> 00:20:25,895
look at some of these areas or

744
00:20:25,895 --> 00:20:27,330
make some change, then we have

745
00:20:27,330 --> 00:20:28,199
to provide them with the

746
00:20:28,199 --> 00:20:30,434
information that they need to

747
00:20:30,434 --> 00:20:31,401
do that. Um, and, you know, the,

748
00:20:31,401 --> 00:20:31,835
the, the, well, that

749
00:20:31,835 --> 00:20:32,130
s how

750
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:33,336
we

751
00:20:33,336 --> 00:20:33,509
ve always done it. That

752
00:20:33,509 --> 00:20:34,338
s

753
00:20:34,338 --> 00:20:35,205
not good enough. If we can make

754
00:20:35,205 --> 00:20:36,106
it better, we

755
00:20:36,106 --> 00:20:38,506
ll make it better.

756
00:20:40,311 --> 00:20:41,979
And I was so happy and, and, um,

757
00:20:41,979 --> 00:20:43,247
appreciative to be able to sit

758
00:20:43,247 --> 00:20:44,949
down with, uh, some of the

759
00:20:44,949 --> 00:20:46,517
commissioners to really

760
00:20:46,517 --> 00:20:48,818
make this report something that

761
00:20:48,818 --> 00:20:51,550
was tangible and something that

762
00:20:51,550 --> 00:20:52,390
they could act upon, um, and we

763
00:20:52,390 --> 00:20:53,224
have gotten it to a point where

764
00:20:53,224 --> 00:20:54,910
I really think there

765
00:20:54,910 --> 00:20:56,910
s a lot

766
00:20:56,527 --> 00:20:59,527
there, um, next slide, please.

767
00:20:59,564 --> 00:21:01,365
One of the examples is we are

768
00:21:01,365 --> 00:21:04,365
now showing as the year

769
00:21:04,669 --> 00:21:05,503
progresses, what are traffic

770
00:21:05,503 --> 00:21:05,937
accidents where they

771
00:21:05,937 --> 00:21:07,537
re

772
00:21:07,537 --> 00:21:10,908
occurring and you can start to

773
00:21:10,908 --> 00:21:13,511
see on the map where our, you

774
00:21:13,511 --> 00:21:14,913
know, problematic or concerns

775
00:21:14,913 --> 00:21:17,115
are, and we need to

776
00:21:17,115 --> 00:21:18,783
start looking at those areas to

777
00:21:18,783 --> 00:21:20,752
see is, is it an enforcement

778
00:21:20,752 --> 00:21:23,621
issue? Do we need to do more

779
00:21:23,621 --> 00:21:25,490
enforcement? Is it, um, a

780
00:21:25,490 --> 00:21:27,825
result of infrastructure. What

781
00:21:27,825 --> 00:21:29,160
is that? And I think that by

782
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:29,827
providing them with this

783
00:21:29,827 --> 00:21:31,563
information, it

784
00:21:31,563 --> 00:21:33,563
s giving us

785
00:21:33,865 --> 00:21:35,667
that perspective and allowing

786
00:21:35,667 --> 00:21:36,935
us to start focusing in where

787
00:21:36,935 --> 00:21:37,536
we can make some positive

788
00:21:37,536 --> 00:21:39,536
change.

789
00:21:39,671 --> 00:21:41,206
Next slide. Same with our dui,

790
00:21:41,206 --> 00:21:42,941
uh, enforcement. This is, uh,

791
00:21:42,941 --> 00:21:44,910
one of the things that we

792
00:21:44,910 --> 00:21:47,246
started doing to show where

793
00:21:47,246 --> 00:21:48,347
these dui arrests are occurring

794
00:21:48,347 --> 00:21:50,115
and what wasn

795
00:21:50,115 --> 00:21:51,683
t captured in the

796
00:21:51,683 --> 00:21:54,860
previous slide that showed the

797
00:21:54,860 --> 00:21:56,540
total amount is a lot of these

798
00:21:56,540 --> 00:21:57,389
DUIs, um, they either are, by

799
00:21:57,389 --> 00:21:59,258
the time that we get behind

800
00:21:59,258 --> 00:22:00,492
them, we observed the impaired

801
00:22:00,492 --> 00:22:02,327
driving, and we are ready to

802
00:22:02,327 --> 00:22:02,661
make that traffic stop. They

803
00:22:02,661 --> 00:22:04,661
d

804
00:22:04,864 --> 00:22:05,864
be exited our city, so the

805
00:22:05,864 --> 00:22:07,166
contact happens in another

806
00:22:07,166 --> 00:22:09,166
jurisdiction.

807
00:22:10,569 --> 00:22:12,505
Or they have, uh, gone onto the

808
00:22:12,505 --> 00:22:13,673
freeway, the on-ramp, um, so

809
00:22:13,673 --> 00:22:15,475
that when we actually do make

810
00:22:15,475 --> 00:22:16,442
that arrest, it doesn

811
00:22:16,442 --> 00:22:18,442
t count

812
00:22:18,777 --> 00:22:21,147
in our statistics. It counts in

813
00:22:21,147 --> 00:22:21,347
the city of the arrest. Um, so

814
00:22:21,347 --> 00:22:22,348
there

815
00:22:22,348 --> 00:22:25,348
s actually more than what

816
00:22:25,417 --> 00:22:25,985
is, uh, being shown, but, um, I

817
00:22:25,985 --> 00:22:27,620
think it

818
00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:28,854
s interesting to see

819
00:22:28,854 --> 00:22:29,289
where these arrests are

820
00:22:29,289 --> 00:22:30,323
occurring.

821
00:22:30,323 --> 00:22:30,557
And I think with that I

822
00:22:30,557 --> 00:22:32,557
ll turn

823
00:22:33,626 --> 00:22:35,626
it back over.

824
00:22:36,596 --> 00:22:38,596
Ok.

825
00:22:38,999 --> 00:22:40,867
Uh, 4 encouragement, where we

826
00:22:40,867 --> 00:22:42,902
are developing positive habits.

827
00:22:42,902 --> 00:22:44,703
So, uh, here at the city, we

828
00:22:44,703 --> 00:22:47,730
have a culture built around

829
00:22:47,730 --> 00:22:48,809
safety where we are encouraging

830
00:22:48,809 --> 00:22:50,610
residents to consistently

831
00:22:50,610 --> 00:22:53,100
practice and promote safe

832
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:54,715
transportation habits daily.

833
00:22:54,715 --> 00:22:57,715
We have our school crossing

834
00:22:58,850 --> 00:23:00,254
guard program. Uh, this is a

835
00:23:00,254 --> 00:23:01,421
fifty-fifty cost share between

836
00:23:01,421 --> 00:23:02,455
the city and the school

837
00:23:02,455 --> 00:23:03,390
districts, and it

838
00:23:03,390 --> 00:23:05,258
s a

839
00:23:05,258 --> 00:23:07,658
cost-effective and safe program

840
00:23:07,761 --> 00:23:08,628
that helps uh keep our kids and

841
00:23:08,628 --> 00:23:09,114
parents safe while they

842
00:23:09,114 --> 00:23:11,114
re

843
00:23:11,665 --> 00:23:13,700
walking to and from school, uh,

844
00:23:13,700 --> 00:23:15,402
city council added a 15th

845
00:23:15,402 --> 00:23:17,471
crossing guard for fiscal year

846
00:23:17,471 --> 00:23:18,538
27, so really an awesome and

847
00:23:18,538 --> 00:23:19,840
important program for us here

848
00:23:19,840 --> 00:23:22,777
at the city, um, and the

849
00:23:22,777 --> 00:23:22,996
community.

850
00:23:22,996 --> 00:23:24,244
You

851
00:23:24,244 --> 00:23:25,479
ve likely seen our

852
00:23:25,479 --> 00:23:27,581
changeable message signs uh

853
00:23:27,581 --> 00:23:29,981
deployed throughout the city.

854
00:23:30,451 --> 00:23:31,919
This was a city council

855
00:23:31,919 --> 00:23:32,619
initiated request by the deputy

856
00:23:32,619 --> 00:23:33,454
mayor, um, and it

857
00:23:33,454 --> 00:23:35,256
s really been

858
00:23:35,256 --> 00:23:39,600
a, a great tool where we, we

859
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:41,462
are able to give um awareness

860
00:23:41,462 --> 00:23:42,730
and behavior feedback, uh,

861
00:23:42,730 --> 00:23:44,799
immediately, and that helps

862
00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:46,935
disrupt and interrupt a routine

863
00:23:46,935 --> 00:23:48,136
driving habits, so that way the

864
00:23:48,136 --> 00:23:48,336
hope and thought is while

865
00:23:48,336 --> 00:23:49,537
you

866
00:23:49,537 --> 00:23:51,940
re driving along, you are

867
00:23:51,940 --> 00:23:53,642
seeing some of these signs and.

868
00:23:53,642 --> 00:23:56,420
Creating good habits, uh,

869
00:23:56,440 --> 00:23:58,440
regularly.

870
00:23:58,460 --> 00:24:00,810
Our speed radar feedback signs.

871
00:24:00,810 --> 00:24:02,150
Uh, so these are, are wonderful

872
00:24:02,150 --> 00:24:03,151
to help give you an immediate

873
00:24:03,151 --> 00:24:04,653
um.

874
00:24:04,653 --> 00:24:05,654
Idea of what your speed is. I,

875
00:24:05,654 --> 00:24:06,555
I know you

876
00:24:06,555 --> 00:24:08,555
re not always

877
00:24:08,957 --> 00:24:10,259
looking at your speedometer. So

878
00:24:10,259 --> 00:24:12,428
the speed radar feedback signs

879
00:24:12,428 --> 00:24:14,263
do a great job of giving you

880
00:24:14,263 --> 00:24:16,298
that immediate feedback that

881
00:24:16,298 --> 00:24:17,599
really hopes to uh encourage

882
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:19,235
drivers to slow down when

883
00:24:19,235 --> 00:24:21,235
needed.

884
00:24:21,437 --> 00:24:23,837
And number 5 is evaluation

885
00:24:23,973 --> 00:24:26,509
where we are making data-driven

886
00:24:26,509 --> 00:24:28,909
decisions. So, Encinitas uses

887
00:24:28,910 --> 00:24:30,579
data analysis to direct

888
00:24:30,579 --> 00:24:32,114
resources in the appropriate

889
00:24:32,114 --> 00:24:33,715
location to increase roadway

890
00:24:33,715 --> 00:24:35,584
safety. Uh, an example of this

891
00:24:35,584 --> 00:24:38,584
is our local roadway safety

892
00:24:39,956 --> 00:24:42,358
plan, or lrsp, um, the lrsp is

893
00:24:42,358 --> 00:24:44,260
an has analyzed collision

894
00:24:44,260 --> 00:24:46,280
patterns and prioritize

895
00:24:46,280 --> 00:24:47,960
evidence-based countermeasures

896
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:48,698
like leading pedestrian

897
00:24:48,698 --> 00:24:50,166
interval and speed management

898
00:24:50,166 --> 00:24:50,700
to enhance safety. So that is a

899
00:24:50,700 --> 00:24:52,168
document.

900
00:24:52,168 --> 00:24:53,502
That we have compiled and that

901
00:24:53,502 --> 00:24:55,638
has been approved by council

902
00:24:55,638 --> 00:24:57,473
and it has projects uh that are

903
00:24:57,473 --> 00:24:58,675
uh based on priority that the

904
00:24:58,675 --> 00:25:00,760
city is currently moving

905
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:02,760
forward with implementing.

906
00:25:02,579 --> 00:25:04,980
Uh, I also wanted to touch base

907
00:25:04,980 --> 00:25:06,483
and, and uh speak briefly on

908
00:25:06,483 --> 00:25:08,318
our draft comprehensive safety

909
00:25:08,318 --> 00:25:09,853
action plan. Uh, so our

910
00:25:09,853 --> 00:25:11,853
comprehensive safety Action

911
00:25:12,556 --> 00:25:14,758
Plan or cisap, um, that is a

912
00:25:14,758 --> 00:25:15,759
document that similarly is data

913
00:25:15,759 --> 00:25:17,294
driven, um.

914
00:25:17,294 --> 00:25:19,261
And on that.

915
00:25:19,261 --> 00:25:21,164
We do have to make an update to

916
00:25:21,164 --> 00:25:23,330
the circulation element, which

917
00:25:23,330 --> 00:25:24,735
is currently underway. Uh, that

918
00:25:24,735 --> 00:25:26,436
includes the safe system

919
00:25:26,436 --> 00:25:27,303
approach. Uh, once our

920
00:25:27,303 --> 00:25:28,872
circulation element is

921
00:25:28,872 --> 00:25:31,872
finalized, uh, we will move

922
00:25:32,309 --> 00:25:33,943
forward with, uh, that draft

923
00:25:33,943 --> 00:25:35,312
csap to finalize the csap, uh,

924
00:25:35,312 --> 00:25:37,470
but did want to make clear that

925
00:25:37,470 --> 00:25:38,649
even though this is supposed to

926
00:25:38,649 --> 00:25:39,216
be a comprehensive safety

927
00:25:39,216 --> 00:25:39,782
action plan. It

928
00:25:39,782 --> 00:25:41,782
s actually not

929
00:25:42,385 --> 00:25:43,820
comprehensive. Um, it only

930
00:25:43,820 --> 00:25:45,723
discusses incis Boulevard and

931
00:25:45,723 --> 00:25:47,491
El Camino Real, uh, so that is

932
00:25:47,491 --> 00:25:48,225
another adjustment that we need

933
00:25:48,225 --> 00:25:50,160
to look at.

934
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:51,495
Uh, potentially for, uh, the

935
00:25:51,495 --> 00:25:52,630
finalization of our csap, uh,

936
00:25:52,630 --> 00:25:54,310
but the real important thing

937
00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:54,331
here is not the document or

938
00:25:54,331 --> 00:25:55,600
whether it

939
00:25:55,600 --> 00:25:56,600
s in draft or final

940
00:25:56,600 --> 00:25:58,350
form.

941
00:25:58,350 --> 00:25:58,569
Is the reality that we

942
00:25:58,569 --> 00:26:00,569
ve

943
00:26:00,905 --> 00:26:02,540
already as a city implemented

944
00:26:02,540 --> 00:26:03,674
40 of the near term projects.

945
00:26:03,674 --> 00:26:03,975
So, um, whether it

946
00:26:03,975 --> 00:26:05,742
s been

947
00:26:05,742 --> 00:26:07,311
finalized or not, we still

948
00:26:07,311 --> 00:26:08,780
utilize that document to

949
00:26:08,780 --> 00:26:10,514
determine important projects to

950
00:26:10,514 --> 00:26:11,182
move forward on.

951
00:26:11,182 --> 00:26:12,518
Uh, here

952
00:26:12,518 --> 00:26:14,520
s an example of our

953
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,870
lrsp. On the left is a little

954
00:26:16,870 --> 00:26:16,323
bit of a heat map, uh, that

955
00:26:16,323 --> 00:26:17,355
s

956
00:26:17,355 --> 00:26:18,822
collision, uh, based

957
00:26:18,822 --> 00:26:21,822
information, and then on the

958
00:26:22,127 --> 00:26:24,280
right, uh, that is one of the

959
00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,280
tables within the document that

960
00:26:27,499 --> 00:26:30,267
gives you a, an analyzed

961
00:26:30,267 --> 00:26:33,104
determination of uh based on

962
00:26:33,104 --> 00:26:34,606
cost of what are most um or

963
00:26:34,606 --> 00:26:36,341
highest intersection collision

964
00:26:36,341 --> 00:26:38,277
area um and prioritization

965
00:26:38,277 --> 00:26:40,277
would be.

966
00:26:41,613 --> 00:26:42,714
Now

967
00:26:42,714 --> 00:26:43,682
Even though there are a lot of

968
00:26:43,682 --> 00:26:43,982
great things that we

969
00:26:43,982 --> 00:26:45,517
ve been

970
00:26:45,517 --> 00:26:46,618
talking about, um.

971
00:26:46,618 --> 00:26:47,453
What have, what

972
00:26:47,453 --> 00:26:49,453
s the city

973
00:26:49,989 --> 00:26:51,824
really committed to these, uh,

974
00:26:51,824 --> 00:26:53,391
so the financial commitment has

975
00:26:53,391 --> 00:26:54,393
been extraordinary. Uh, when I

976
00:26:54,393 --> 00:26:56,629
started putting these numbers

977
00:26:56,629 --> 00:26:58,497
together, I, I was really,

978
00:26:58,497 --> 00:27:01,400
really actually amazed by uh by

979
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:02,935
all the, the money that we are,

980
00:27:02,935 --> 00:27:03,157
uh, putting towards the five

981
00:27:03,157 --> 00:27:05,157
e

982
00:27:06,672 --> 00:27:09,775
s, uh, so over the last two

983
00:27:09,775 --> 00:27:11,677
fiscal years, our expenditures

984
00:27:11,677 --> 00:27:13,312
plus the the estimated

985
00:27:13,312 --> 00:27:13,713
expenditures for this fiscal

986
00:27:13,713 --> 00:27:15,713
year.

987
00:27:16,748 --> 00:27:16,949
Or over $60 million. Uh, so

988
00:27:16,949 --> 00:27:18,949
that

989
00:27:19,180 --> 00:27:22,180
s $1.6 million for the two

990
00:27:22,288 --> 00:27:22,507
new traffic deputies.

991
00:27:22,507 --> 00:27:24,507
That

992
00:27:25,358 --> 00:27:27,758
s over $560,000 for a

993
00:27:28,561 --> 00:27:30,961
school crossing guard program,

994
00:27:31,464 --> 00:27:33,330
$58 million for roadway safety

995
00:27:33,330 --> 00:27:35,330
infrastructure improvements.

996
00:27:35,769 --> 00:27:37,137
$160,000 for a bike safety

997
00:27:37,137 --> 00:27:37,804
education, uh, so it

998
00:27:37,804 --> 00:27:39,139
s not just

999
00:27:39,139 --> 00:27:40,874
talk here at the city, really,

1000
00:27:40,874 --> 00:27:42,800
it is a huge investment and

1001
00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:43,877
extremely important to us.

1002
00:27:43,877 --> 00:27:46,179
Uh, so, ultimately, to conclude,

1003
00:27:46,179 --> 00:27:47,480
uh, the city has an integrated

1004
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,820
safety program.

1005
00:27:49,820 --> 00:27:49,416
We utilize the Five e

1006
00:27:49,416 --> 00:27:51,416
s

1007
00:27:51,751 --> 00:27:52,686
framework, we have a sustained

1008
00:27:52,686 --> 00:27:54,686
investment.

1009
00:27:55,489 --> 00:27:56,323
And we have a community

1010
00:27:56,323 --> 00:27:57,323
collaborative approach to

1011
00:27:57,323 --> 00:27:59,723
roadway safety and traffic

1012
00:28:00,294 --> 00:28:02,294
enforcement.

1013
00:28:03,497 --> 00:28:05,497
Thank you.

1014
00:28:05,966 --> 00:28:08,366
So for, I guess.

1015
00:28:08,869 --> 00:28:10,504
First of all, any questions of

1016
00:28:10,504 --> 00:28:10,905
clarification from city council.

1017
00:28:10,905 --> 00:28:12,239
If not, we

1018
00:28:12,239 --> 00:28:14,709
ll go to public. How

1019
00:28:14,709 --> 00:28:16,278
many speakers? 20 speakers, so

1020
00:28:16,278 --> 00:28:16,810
I mean we want to do public

1021
00:28:16,810 --> 00:28:17,144
input tonight. So we

1022
00:28:17,144 --> 00:28:18,980
re gonna

1023
00:28:18,980 --> 00:28:19,180
do the full 3 minutes and

1024
00:28:19,180 --> 00:28:21,180
that

1025
00:28:21,415 --> 00:28:23,317
s gonna take us an hour,

1026
00:28:23,317 --> 00:28:25,190
hopefully, people can be prompt

1027
00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:26,220
if you could, uh, the next stop

1028
00:28:26,220 --> 00:28:28,589
and the next, next up, if you

1029
00:28:28,589 --> 00:28:29,957
can move to the front row, just,

1030
00:28:29,957 --> 00:28:30,658
uh, keep it moving quickly. We

1031
00:28:30,658 --> 00:28:32,493
want to get through this an

1032
00:28:32,493 --> 00:28:34,929
hour, in an hour, so we have

1033
00:28:34,929 --> 00:28:38,365
time to, to discuss up here too.

1034
00:28:38,365 --> 00:28:39,900
So, with that, 1st 3 speakers,

1035
00:28:39,900 --> 00:28:42,900
Paul Chester, followed by Patty

1036
00:29:01,256 --> 00:29:03,991
Stoudemire, and then Ron Medek.

1037
00:29:03,991 --> 00:29:05,991
Hello.

00:29:06,328 --> 00:29:08,328
Hello.

1039
00:29:08,530 --> 00:29:10,530
I had 2

1040
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:13,350
I submitted two visual aids.

1041
00:29:13,350 --> 00:29:15,435
Uh, one, first one.

1042
00:29:16,839 --> 00:29:18,839
No.

1043
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,400
The first one that

1044
00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,400
That

1045
00:29:21,310 --> 00:29:23,712
s the 2nd 1, but the 1st 1

1046
00:29:23,712 --> 00:29:27,312
that I presented, uh, I had

1047
00:29:28,830 --> 00:29:29,840
submitted on the 14th to the uh

1048
00:29:29,840 --> 00:29:31,840
engineering department.

1049
00:29:32,421 --> 00:29:34,290
Uh, the second one was, uh, I,

1050
00:29:34,290 --> 00:29:36,391
I wrote to the.

1051
00:29:36,391 --> 00:29:38,527
Author of an article which was

1052
00:29:38,527 --> 00:29:40,927
in the Encinitas Advocate.

1053
00:29:41,330 --> 00:29:43,330
On the

1054
00:29:43,699 --> 00:29:45,201
7th of AUGUST after she wrote

1055
00:29:45,201 --> 00:29:47,201
an article about.

1056
00:29:48,470 --> 00:29:49,572
Uh, the deaths of children over

1057
00:29:49,572 --> 00:29:49,752
the last couple of years, let

1058
00:29:49,752 --> 00:29:51,140
s

1059
00:29:51,140 --> 00:29:53,509
hold the, uh, time for a minute

1060
00:29:53,509 --> 00:29:55,478
here. Um um, do we have both

1061
00:29:55,478 --> 00:29:57,800
and uh, you do? Ok.

1062
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:00,500
Just wanted to check, ok go

1063
00:30:00,500 --> 00:30:02,450
ahead the first one.

1064
00:30:02,618 --> 00:30:04,618
If I could

1065
00:30:08,358 --> 00:30:10,427
Go to the other one first.

1066
00:30:10,427 --> 00:30:13,730
Ok, has to do, this is the one

1067
00:30:13,730 --> 00:30:15,198
I had submitted to the engineer

1068
00:30:15,198 --> 00:30:17,198
department. The crosswalk,

1069
00:30:18,267 --> 00:30:20,667
which is an equestrian,

1070
00:30:20,770 --> 00:30:21,605
pedestrian crosswalk in on uh

1071
00:30:21,605 --> 00:30:23,173
El Camino.

1072
00:30:23,173 --> 00:30:25,173
Um, El Norte.

1073
00:30:25,776 --> 00:30:28,144
Uh, where there was fatality a

1074
00:30:28,144 --> 00:30:29,680
month ago.

1075
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:30,580
The problem there and I

1076
00:30:30,580 --> 00:30:32,516
ve been

1077
00:30:32,516 --> 00:30:34,518
walking and running this area,

1078
00:30:34,518 --> 00:30:35,850
jogging this area for over 40

1079
00:30:35,850 --> 00:30:37,850
years.

1080
00:30:37,421 --> 00:30:38,689
Is that

1081
00:30:38,689 --> 00:30:39,957
When during the summer when the

1082
00:30:39,957 --> 00:30:41,957
sun.

1083
00:30:42,392 --> 00:30:45,992
Comes up from the east right

1084
00:30:46,264 --> 00:30:49,000
down the road, it is blinding

1085
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,135
to cars headed eastward and,

1086
00:30:51,135 --> 00:30:51,936
and around 5 or 67 o

1087
00:30:51,936 --> 00:30:52,904
clock at

1088
00:30:52,904 --> 00:30:53,890
this time of year, it

1089
00:30:53,890 --> 00:30:54,439
s

1090
00:30:54,439 --> 00:30:56,400
blinding to those going

1091
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,276
westward, and that was involved,

1092
00:30:58,276 --> 00:30:58,843
that involved in that accident

1093
00:30:58,843 --> 00:31:00,277
or the driver didn

1094
00:31:00,277 --> 00:31:02,277
t see the

1095
00:31:02,647 --> 00:31:03,180
person and so what I

1096
00:31:03,180 --> 00:31:05,180
m think,

1097
00:31:05,583 --> 00:31:08,486
while they have blink, the

1098
00:31:08,486 --> 00:31:10,455
blinking blinking lights at the

1099
00:31:10,455 --> 00:31:10,722
crosswalk since the cars are

1100
00:31:10,722 --> 00:31:12,722
speeding.

1101
00:31:13,558 --> 00:31:15,958
like 40, 50 miles an hour.

1102
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:17,629
It would be better to have

1103
00:31:17,629 --> 00:31:19,629
another one.

1104
00:31:20,331 --> 00:31:22,734
That blinks 300 ft to the east.

1105
00:31:22,734 --> 00:31:26,380
On the west coast right at the

1106
00:31:26,380 --> 00:31:27,973
end of the uh Escondido Bridge.

1107
00:31:27,973 --> 00:31:30,973
Escondido Creek Bridge and also.

1108
00:31:31,900 --> 00:31:33,900
One

1109
00:31:33,479 --> 00:31:36,849
On the westbound, excuse me, on

1110
00:31:36,849 --> 00:31:38,817
the eastbound, west of the

1111
00:31:38,817 --> 00:31:40,686
crossing at the rise. There is

1112
00:31:40,686 --> 00:31:41,220
a, there is a diamond sign

1113
00:31:41,220 --> 00:31:43,188
there.

1114
00:31:43,188 --> 00:31:45,188
That says

1115
00:31:45,624 --> 00:31:48,527
Uh, trail crossing ahead, but

1116
00:31:48,527 --> 00:31:50,663
the drivers in those cars

1117
00:31:50,663 --> 00:31:52,430
cannot see that crosswalk until

1118
00:31:52,430 --> 00:31:54,934
7 seconds before they get to

1119
00:31:54,934 --> 00:31:56,602
that crosswalk.

1120
00:31:56,602 --> 00:31:58,838
The drivers on the going the

1121
00:31:58,838 --> 00:32:00,606
other direction.

1122
00:32:00,606 --> 00:32:01,274
Um, going westbound, it

1123
00:32:01,274 --> 00:32:02,741
s 4 to

1124
00:32:02,741 --> 00:32:04,243
5 seconds from the time they

1125
00:32:04,243 --> 00:32:04,844
get to the end of the bridge,

1126
00:32:04,844 --> 00:32:06,612
but they can

1127
00:32:06,612 --> 00:32:07,547
t really see that

1128
00:32:07,547 --> 00:32:08,514
blinking light because there

1129
00:32:08,514 --> 00:32:10,514
s

1130
00:32:10,916 --> 00:32:12,952
bushes that have overgrown and

1131
00:32:12,952 --> 00:32:14,754
block it. So that was our short

1132
00:32:14,754 --> 00:32:14,938
periods of time for somebody

1133
00:32:14,938 --> 00:32:16,656
who

1134
00:32:16,656 --> 00:32:18,190
s looking into the bright

1135
00:32:18,190 --> 00:32:18,758
sunshine, and that

1136
00:32:18,758 --> 00:32:20,293
s for

1137
00:32:20,293 --> 00:32:22,962
probably at least a couple of

1138
00:32:22,962 --> 00:32:24,597
months of the year. So I, by

1139
00:32:24,597 --> 00:32:26,132
putting the uh when the person

1140
00:32:26,132 --> 00:32:29,732
pushes a button to cross the

1141
00:32:29,903 --> 00:32:32,303
crosswalk. If those blink.

1142
00:32:33,373 --> 00:32:36,209
3 400 ft prior, I think the

1143
00:32:36,209 --> 00:32:38,678
speeding drivers would have a

1144
00:32:38,678 --> 00:32:40,380
better chance of being alerted

1145
00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:40,980
and slowing down.

1146
00:32:40,980 --> 00:32:41,515
So that

1147
00:32:41,515 --> 00:32:42,349
s, that

1148
00:32:42,349 --> 00:32:44,349
s involves that

1149
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:49,723
one, the 2nd, 2nd, um.

1150
00:32:49,723 --> 00:32:52,292
Yeah, sorry, 3 minutes goes by

1151
00:32:52,292 --> 00:32:52,793
quickly. Oh, ok. Well, second

1152
00:32:52,793 --> 00:32:54,280
one, yeah, I

1153
00:32:54,280 --> 00:32:55,729
m sorry, yeah, you

1154
00:32:55,729 --> 00:32:57,130
have to, we, we have to limit

1155
00:32:57,130 --> 00:32:58,732
it to 3, so.

1156
00:32:58,732 --> 00:33:00,000
We, and we have the written,

1157
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
written version you gave us.

1158
00:33:15,749 --> 00:33:17,749
Patty.

1159
00:33:18,686 --> 00:33:20,686
Wow.

1160
00:33:22,723 --> 00:33:23,658
Ok, um, mayor council road

1161
00:33:23,658 --> 00:33:24,992
safety, um, I

1162
00:33:24,992 --> 00:33:27,392
d like to thank

1163
00:33:27,428 --> 00:33:29,300
you, uh, the staff, the

1164
00:33:29,300 --> 00:33:30,731
mobility and traffic commission

1165
00:33:30,731 --> 00:33:33,168
and the council for all you

1166
00:33:33,168 --> 00:33:36,104
have done in the last 2 years

1167
00:33:36,104 --> 00:33:38,440
to improve road safety for all

1168
00:33:38,440 --> 00:33:38,707
modes of mobility.

1169
00:33:38,707 --> 00:33:40,800
Oh, here

1170
00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:42,800
s a clicker.

1171
00:33:42,143 --> 00:33:42,410
Uh, and I do believe you

1172
00:33:42,410 --> 00:33:44,410
re

1173
00:33:45,112 --> 00:33:47,715
willing to continue with these

1174
00:33:47,715 --> 00:33:49,284
efforts and more, some some in

1175
00:33:49,284 --> 00:33:51,552
our community are saying

1176
00:33:51,552 --> 00:33:53,488
efforts are not being made to

1177
00:33:53,488 --> 00:33:55,888
ensure safety and are

1178
00:33:55,890 --> 00:33:58,290
advocating for a complete

1179
00:33:59,561 --> 00:34:01,395
adaptation of this vision Zero

1180
00:34:01,395 --> 00:34:03,265
program citing success with

1181
00:34:03,265 --> 00:34:05,968
this program in Hoboken, New

1182
00:34:05,968 --> 00:34:08,368
Jersey, 9 years with no

1183
00:34:08,703 --> 00:34:11,407
fatalities, um, now I looked on

1184
00:34:11,407 --> 00:34:13,509
the Vision Zero website and it.

1185
00:34:13,509 --> 00:34:13,696
Looks like much of what they

1186
00:34:13,696 --> 00:34:14,760
re

1187
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:14,943
doing, you

1188
00:34:14,943 --> 00:34:16,378
ve already done,

1189
00:34:16,378 --> 00:34:17,580
maybe not all of it, but a lot

1190
00:34:17,580 --> 00:34:19,580
of it.

1191
00:34:21,517 --> 00:34:23,917
Now Hoboken, New Jersey,

1192
00:34:25,988 --> 00:34:27,988
population 60,000 in a 1.2

1193
00:34:28,958 --> 00:34:30,958
square mile area.

1194
00:34:31,527 --> 00:34:33,527
Encinitas population 60,000, 20

1195
00:34:34,197 --> 00:34:34,376
square miles, um, so Hoboken,

1196
00:34:34,376 --> 00:34:35,598
let

1197
00:34:35,598 --> 00:34:35,801
s see where it is. It

1198
00:34:35,801 --> 00:34:36,366
s

1199
00:34:36,366 --> 00:34:38,366
like a stone

1200
00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,468
s throw across the

1201
00:34:42,771 --> 00:34:44,974
Hudson River from midtown

1202
00:34:44,974 --> 00:34:47,377
Manhattan and that dark blue

1203
00:34:47,377 --> 00:34:49,245
line there is like their uh

1204
00:34:49,245 --> 00:34:50,913
mobile transport like a subway

1205
00:34:50,913 --> 00:34:53,716
going over, um, according to

1206
00:34:53,716 --> 00:34:55,451
Brave ai 75% of residents in

1207
00:34:55,451 --> 00:34:57,520
Hoboken, New Jersey do not own

1208
00:34:57,520 --> 00:34:57,721
a car attributed to the.

1209
00:34:57,721 --> 00:34:59,721
City

1210
00:34:59,955 --> 00:35:02,355
s high walkability, public

1211
00:35:02,893 --> 00:35:04,893
transport, and parking

1212
00:35:04,994 --> 00:35:06,997
difficulties and 80% of the

1213
00:35:06,997 --> 00:35:08,398
commuters travel to work

1214
00:35:08,398 --> 00:35:08,632
without a personal vehicle.

1215
00:35:08,632 --> 00:35:09,432
So they

1216
00:35:09,432 --> 00:35:11,832
re not really like

1217
00:35:12,836 --> 00:35:15,472
Encinitas, but his vision zero

1218
00:35:15,472 --> 00:35:17,574
foolproof of zero fatalities

1219
00:35:17,574 --> 00:35:20,574
for 2 consecutive years or more

1220
00:35:21,450 --> 00:35:21,945
in all cities it is implemented

1221
00:35:21,945 --> 00:35:23,945
in.

1222
00:35:24,381 --> 00:35:26,316
According to Chat gbt, cities

1223
00:35:26,316 --> 00:35:28,180
with two consecutive years of

1224
00:35:28,180 --> 00:35:28,219
zero fatalities. Well, they

1225
00:35:28,219 --> 00:35:30,219
didn

1226
00:35:31,540 --> 00:35:34,654
t have any, u, other than

1227
00:35:35,358 --> 00:35:38,358
Hoboken, New Jersey City had

1228
00:35:39,797 --> 00:35:41,798
one. Alexandria 10 year Alameda

1229
00:35:41,798 --> 00:35:43,668
one San Francisco, San Jose,

1230
00:35:43,668 --> 00:35:44,268
Fremont, Los Angeles, New York,

1231
00:35:44,268 --> 00:35:45,770
none.

1232
00:35:45,770 --> 00:35:47,805
So, uh, thank you, City of

1233
00:35:47,805 --> 00:35:50,575
Encinitas for all you have done

1234
00:35:50,575 --> 00:35:52,176
and will continue to do for

1235
00:35:52,176 --> 00:35:55,176
improving our road safety for

1236
00:36:01,152 --> 00:36:02,687
all in Encinitas.

1237
00:36:02,687 --> 00:36:03,922
Martin, I have a couple of

1238
00:36:03,922 --> 00:36:07,522
things that have come up, right?

1239
00:36:10,494 --> 00:36:11,963
Yes you did.

1240
00:36:11,963 --> 00:36:12,196
Do you want to uh work with him

1241
00:36:12,196 --> 00:36:13,932
and we

1242
00:36:13,932 --> 00:36:17,235
ll go to the next one

1243
00:36:17,235 --> 00:36:19,738
and insert you in later so.

1244
00:36:19,738 --> 00:36:21,139
Next 3 speakers, Peter Tobias,

1245
00:36:21,139 --> 00:36:24,139
followed by Johnny Durbin and

1246
00:36:32,150 --> 00:36:33,785
then John Eldon.

1247
00:36:33,785 --> 00:36:35,119
Good afternoon. My name is

1248
00:36:35,119 --> 00:36:37,119
Peter Tobias. I

1249
00:36:37,690 --> 00:36:39,658
ve lived at 564

1250
00:36:39,658 --> 00:36:41,727
Arden Drive just east of here,

1251
00:36:41,727 --> 00:36:43,495
about 3 blocks since 1980.

1252
00:36:43,495 --> 00:36:44,562
I strongly believe that we do

1253
00:36:44,562 --> 00:36:45,698
not have enough traffic

1254
00:36:45,698 --> 00:36:47,698
enforcement.

1255
00:36:47,699 --> 00:36:49,401
Whether that means more

1256
00:36:49,401 --> 00:36:51,103
deputies or more electronic

1257
00:36:51,103 --> 00:36:51,337
enforcement, we need it.

1258
00:36:51,337 --> 00:36:53,720
I don

1259
00:36:53,720 --> 00:36:54,974
t know whether the two

1260
00:36:54,974 --> 00:36:55,176
new traffic enforcement, I

1261
00:36:55,176 --> 00:36:57,176
don

1262
00:36:57,443 --> 00:36:58,845
t know where the two new

1263
00:36:58,845 --> 00:36:59,579
traffic enforcement deputies

1264
00:36:59,579 --> 00:37:00,579
mentioned in today

1265
00:37:00,579 --> 00:37:02,579
s paperwork,

1266
00:37:02,715 --> 00:37:04,484
but I have not seen them or

1267
00:37:04,484 --> 00:37:06,386
virtually any deputies in my

1268
00:37:06,386 --> 00:37:06,573
part of Encinitas.

1269
00:37:06,573 --> 00:37:07,953
Let

1270
00:37:07,953 --> 00:37:10,220
s talk about speed limits.

1271
00:37:10,220 --> 00:37:11,858
As you know, the city lowered

1272
00:37:11,858 --> 00:37:14,260
many speed limits a year or two

1273
00:37:14,260 --> 00:37:16,162
ago, but without enforcement of

1274
00:37:16,162 --> 00:37:17,763
those limits, all they do is

1275
00:37:17,763 --> 00:37:20,500
teach people that there are no

1276
00:37:20,500 --> 00:37:22,100
consequences to speeding.

1277
00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:23,970
Where do people speed in my

1278
00:37:23,970 --> 00:37:26,380
neighborhood, they speed on

1279
00:37:26,380 --> 00:37:27,374
Requeza between Walk West Lake,

1280
00:37:27,374 --> 00:37:29,409
and the freeway. The speed

1281
00:37:29,409 --> 00:37:31,645
limit there is 20 miles an hour.

1282
00:37:31,645 --> 00:37:34,347
But even the kids on their

1283
00:37:34,347 --> 00:37:36,682
e-bikes break that record.

1284
00:37:36,682 --> 00:37:38,251
If I try to observe it.

1285
00:37:38,251 --> 00:37:40,530
The traffic behind me honks

1286
00:37:40,530 --> 00:37:41,555
their horns.

1287
00:37:41,555 --> 00:37:43,891
Earlier this afternoon, I was

1288
00:37:43,891 --> 00:37:45,325
driving west on La Costa

1289
00:37:45,325 --> 00:37:47,294
between El Camino Real and the

1290
00:37:47,294 --> 00:37:48,762
freeway. I was passed by a car

1291
00:37:48,762 --> 00:37:49,964
going just under 70 miles an

1292
00:37:49,964 --> 00:37:51,964
hour.

1293
00:37:52,433 --> 00:37:53,734
I know that because briefly I

1294
00:37:53,734 --> 00:37:56,103
matched his speed and checked

1295
00:37:56,103 --> 00:37:57,571
my speedometer.

1296
00:37:57,571 --> 00:37:59,473
Another place they speed is on

1297
00:37:59,473 --> 00:38:01,876
the Coast Highway, coming north

1298
00:38:01,876 --> 00:38:03,810
out of Solana Beach. The 30

1299
00:38:03,810 --> 00:38:05,813
minute mile per hour speed

1300
00:38:05,813 --> 00:38:07,681
limit there is routinely

1301
00:38:07,681 --> 00:38:09,116
flouted despite

1302
00:38:09,116 --> 00:38:10,551
Informational science that we

1303
00:38:10,551 --> 00:38:10,743
saw earlier.

1304
00:38:10,743 --> 00:38:12,620
Let

1305
00:38:12,620 --> 00:38:13,488
s talk about red lights.

1306
00:38:13,488 --> 00:38:13,988
Most of the problems I

1307
00:38:13,988 --> 00:38:15,890
ve seen

1308
00:38:15,890 --> 00:38:18,960
are at the Ramble crossings at

1309
00:38:18,960 --> 00:38:20,461
d and e Streets on 101 downtown

1310
00:38:20,461 --> 00:38:22,263
because I spent a lot of time

1311
00:38:22,263 --> 00:38:24,232
in that part of the city.

1312
00:38:24,232 --> 00:38:25,834
A few weeks ago, I was trying

1313
00:38:25,834 --> 00:38:28,103
to back out of the single

1314
00:38:28,103 --> 00:38:28,369
parking space in front of

1315
00:38:28,369 --> 00:38:30,369
Mauricio

1316
00:38:30,372 --> 00:38:32,273
s Italian restaurant.

1317
00:38:32,273 --> 00:38:33,708
A truck horn blared as I was

1318
00:38:33,708 --> 00:38:35,710
backing up, and when I looked

1319
00:38:35,710 --> 00:38:37,450
to see what was going on, the

1320
00:38:37,450 --> 00:38:38,213
truck sped through the Ramble

1321
00:38:38,213 --> 00:38:40,348
Crossing as the light turned

1322
00:38:40,348 --> 00:38:42,284
red.

1323
00:38:42,284 --> 00:38:45,687
At that same intersection of d

1324
00:38:45,687 --> 00:38:47,722
and 101, 2 weeks ago, I started

1325
00:38:47,722 --> 00:38:49,390
to cross going west just after

1326
00:38:49,390 --> 00:38:51,126
the red lights came on and a

1327
00:38:51,126 --> 00:38:52,628
truck came out of d Street

1328
00:38:52,628 --> 00:38:53,896
headed east and turned left,

1329
00:38:53,896 --> 00:38:55,397
right in front of me.

1330
00:38:55,397 --> 00:38:57,765
When I tried to signal the

1331
00:38:57,765 --> 00:39:00,200
driver to stop, he certainly

1332
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,504
saw me well enough because he

1333
00:39:02,504 --> 00:39:03,138
gave me the finger.

1334
00:39:03,138 --> 00:39:03,772
We haven

1335
00:39:03,772 --> 00:39:04,907
t talked about stop

1336
00:39:04,907 --> 00:39:05,540
signs.

1337
00:39:05,540 --> 00:39:06,575
I haven

1338
00:39:06,575 --> 00:39:08,344
t talked about stop

1339
00:39:08,344 --> 00:39:09,912
signs. If you want to see how

1340
00:39:09,912 --> 00:39:12,180
people use stop signs in this

1341
00:39:12,180 --> 00:39:13,549
city. Go up here 100 yards to

1342
00:39:13,549 --> 00:39:14,817
the corner of Cornish and d

1343
00:39:14,817 --> 00:39:16,817
Street.

1344
00:39:17,285 --> 00:39:19,222
By the dog park across from the

1345
00:39:19,222 --> 00:39:21,657
library as I was walking down

1346
00:39:21,657 --> 00:39:23,593
here, I saw 4 cars go through

1347
00:39:23,593 --> 00:39:26,593
that stop sign without stopping.

1348
00:39:27,129 --> 00:39:28,698
Three of them slowed slightly,

1349
00:39:28,698 --> 00:39:29,565
and one of them simply sped

1350
00:39:29,565 --> 00:39:31,500
through.

1351
00:39:31,500 --> 00:39:33,469
Now I imagine that these things

1352
00:39:33,469 --> 00:39:34,904
happen all over town, and we

1353
00:39:34,904 --> 00:39:36,805
certainly need deputies and

1354
00:39:36,805 --> 00:39:39,805
hopefully more to enforce the

1355
00:39:40,777 --> 00:39:42,746
laws we need speed cameras, so.

1356
00:39:42,746 --> 00:39:45,615
Yeah, well, I, I, I, if I do it

1357
00:39:45,615 --> 00:39:47,617
for you, I have to do it.

1358
00:39:47,617 --> 00:39:48,118
Peter, Peter, I gotta cut you

1359
00:39:48,118 --> 00:39:49,152
off. I

1360
00:39:49,152 --> 00:39:50,820
m sorry. Yeah, we, we

1361
00:39:50,820 --> 00:39:53,220
get the message and.

1362
00:39:58,761 --> 00:40:00,761
We understand.

1363
00:40:00,797 --> 00:40:01,965
Good evening. Uh, my name is

1364
00:40:01,965 --> 00:40:02,833
Johnny Durbin. I

1365
00:40:02,833 --> 00:40:03,600
m an Encinitas

1366
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:03,834
resident.

1367
00:40:03,834 --> 00:40:05,102
I

1368
00:40:05,102 --> 00:40:07,237
d like to talk to you today

1369
00:40:07,237 --> 00:40:09,172
about Vision Zero.

1370
00:40:09,172 --> 00:40:11,141
From coast to coast, more than

1371
00:40:11,141 --> 00:40:13,210
100 towns and cities have

1372
00:40:13,210 --> 00:40:13,779
embraced Vision Zero or aspects

1373
00:40:13,779 --> 00:40:15,779
of it.

1374
00:40:16,347 --> 00:40:18,248
Places like Columbus, Ohio and

1375
00:40:18,248 --> 00:40:19,450
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where

1376
00:40:19,450 --> 00:40:20,417
traffic injuries have dropped

1377
00:40:20,417 --> 00:40:22,417
sharply.

1378
00:40:22,653 --> 00:40:24,287
We see it in mid-size towns

1379
00:40:24,287 --> 00:40:26,223
like our neighbors in Vista.

1380
00:40:26,223 --> 00:40:28,159
To guard Oregon.

1381
00:40:28,159 --> 00:40:28,343
And Hoboken, New Jersey, which

1382
00:40:28,343 --> 00:40:30,343
we

1383
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:33,898
ve already heard about.

1384
00:40:33,898 --> 00:40:34,899
With 9 consecutive years

1385
00:40:34,899 --> 00:40:36,600
without a single traffic

1386
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:38,401
fatality.

1387
00:40:38,401 --> 00:40:40,571
For masses of massive hubs like

1388
00:40:40,571 --> 00:40:42,140
New York, Los Angeles, and

1389
00:40:42,140 --> 00:40:43,574
Austin to suburban communities

1390
00:40:43,574 --> 00:40:45,574
like Deerfield, Florida.

1391
00:40:45,877 --> 00:40:47,511
In Oak Park, Illinois.

1392
00:40:47,511 --> 00:40:49,147
This is an incredibly diverse

1393
00:40:49,147 --> 00:40:50,215
list of cities with the same

1394
00:40:50,215 --> 00:40:51,716
commitment.

1395
00:40:51,716 --> 00:40:53,618
Safe streets are not a

1396
00:40:53,618 --> 00:40:55,787
political issue, but a shared

1397
00:40:55,787 --> 00:40:56,855
American priority.

1398
00:40:56,855 --> 00:40:58,223
Leaders in communities across

1399
00:40:58,223 --> 00:41:00,659
the United States are treating

1400
00:41:00,659 --> 00:41:03,600
road design as a core principle

1401
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:04,396
of their duty to ensure public

1402
00:41:04,396 --> 00:41:05,830
safety.

1403
00:41:05,830 --> 00:41:07,766
Vision Zero operates on the

1404
00:41:07,766 --> 00:41:09,601
core principle that human

1405
00:41:09,601 --> 00:41:10,535
nature or humans naturally make

1406
00:41:10,535 --> 00:41:12,200
mistakes.

1407
00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:13,405
And to account for this

1408
00:41:13,405 --> 00:41:15,240
physical to account for these

1409
00:41:15,240 --> 00:41:17,175
mistakes, physical road

1410
00:41:17,175 --> 00:41:19,575
environment should be designed

1411
00:41:19,611 --> 00:41:21,480
to absorb these mistakes

1412
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:23,615
without them resulting in death

1413
00:41:23,615 --> 00:41:25,584
or severe injury.

1414
00:41:25,584 --> 00:41:27,119
Vision Zero does this by

1415
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:29,119
leveraging physics, engineering,

1416
00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:31,890
and common sense.

1417
00:41:31,890 --> 00:41:33,325
It prioritizes roundabouts,

1418
00:41:33,325 --> 00:41:34,560
fixing crosswalks, and

1419
00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:36,610
utilizing smart technology to

1420
00:41:36,610 --> 00:41:37,263
manage speed and red light

1421
00:41:37,263 --> 00:41:39,263
running.

1422
00:41:39,698 --> 00:41:40,733
Towns across our country are

1423
00:41:40,733 --> 00:41:42,733
making meaning meaningful

1424
00:41:43,690 --> 00:41:44,570
changes to reduce and possibly

1425
00:41:44,570 --> 00:41:46,506
eliminate traffic deaths and

1426
00:41:46,506 --> 00:41:48,206
Encinitas scan too.

1427
00:41:48,206 --> 00:41:49,609
The future of American

1428
00:41:49,609 --> 00:41:51,244
infrastructure is one that

1429
00:41:51,244 --> 00:41:52,845
stops treating traffic deaths

1430
00:41:52,845 --> 00:41:54,713
as inevitable and starts

1431
00:41:54,713 --> 00:41:56,216
treating them as preventable.

1432
00:41:56,216 --> 00:41:57,550
Protecting our neighborhoods is

1433
00:41:57,550 --> 00:41:58,150
our collective responsibility.

1434
00:41:58,150 --> 00:42:00,150
Thank you.

1435
00:42:04,590 --> 00:42:05,792
Thank you.

1436
00:42:05,792 --> 00:42:07,627
John Eldon and following John

1437
00:42:07,627 --> 00:42:09,796
Eldon will be Ron Maddak.

1438
00:42:09,796 --> 00:42:11,865
And then Mike Doranski.

1439
00:42:11,865 --> 00:42:13,365
Hi, uh, John Eldon, just real

1440
00:42:13,365 --> 00:42:15,702
quick, I want to give credit

1441
00:42:15,702 --> 00:42:17,700
where credit is due. We

1442
00:42:17,700 --> 00:42:18,972
ve had

1443
00:42:18,972 --> 00:42:20,806
some resurfacing incis

1444
00:42:20,806 --> 00:42:22,806
Boulevard, uh, Lucadia

1445
00:42:22,942 --> 00:42:25,780
Boulevard and re-striping along

1446
00:42:25,780 --> 00:42:25,645
with opportunistic and the

1447
00:42:25,645 --> 00:42:26,213
results.

1448
00:42:26,213 --> 00:42:27,847
Are

1449
00:42:27,847 --> 00:42:28,482
near perfect.

1450
00:42:28,482 --> 00:42:29,383
So that

1451
00:42:29,383 --> 00:42:30,750
s been excellent as far

1452
00:42:30,750 --> 00:42:30,938
as Vision Zero, it sounds like

1453
00:42:30,938 --> 00:42:31,785
we

1454
00:42:31,785 --> 00:42:34,220
re already doing a lot of

1455
00:42:34,220 --> 00:42:34,821
that, as was mentioned earlier,

1456
00:42:34,821 --> 00:42:35,622
so I think that

1457
00:42:35,622 --> 00:42:37,900
s great. Uh,

1458
00:42:37,900 --> 00:42:37,658
the other one I wanna mention,

1459
00:42:37,658 --> 00:42:39,658
I think you

1460
00:42:40,394 --> 00:42:43,129
ll hear it from Ron

1461
00:42:43,129 --> 00:42:46,729
too, is that on Vulcan, for

1462
00:42:46,834 --> 00:42:49,170
instance, the crosswalk at

1463
00:42:49,170 --> 00:42:51,672
Orpheus is raised, and so we

1464
00:42:51,672 --> 00:42:53,340
have a slow as well as then you

1465
00:42:53,340 --> 00:42:55,176
also have the flashers and the

1466
00:42:55,176 --> 00:42:56,344
rest of it, and yeah, that

1467
00:42:56,344 --> 00:42:57,478
might be worth exploring. I

1468
00:42:57,478 --> 00:42:58,779
know we have to balance.

1469
00:42:58,779 --> 00:43:00,147
With what the fire department

1470
00:43:00,147 --> 00:43:02,547
needs. I get that.

1471
00:43:03,160 --> 00:43:04,619
Right, the first responders

1472
00:43:04,619 --> 00:43:06,788
have legitimate arguments as

1473
00:43:06,788 --> 00:43:08,523
far as traffic calming and road

1474
00:43:08,523 --> 00:43:09,890
design, but if we can work with

1475
00:43:09,890 --> 00:43:11,759
them, get them happy, and at

1476
00:43:11,759 --> 00:43:12,627
the same time slow down traffic

1477
00:43:12,627 --> 00:43:13,127
in general. I think we

1478
00:43:13,127 --> 00:43:14,662
re way

1479
00:43:14,662 --> 00:43:16,662
ahead.

1480
00:43:17,131 --> 00:43:17,398
And then finally there are

1481
00:43:17,398 --> 00:43:19,133
places I

1482
00:43:19,133 --> 00:43:20,935
m not 100% against

1483
00:43:20,935 --> 00:43:23,335
Ballards because, for instance,

1484
00:43:23,405 --> 00:43:23,587
at both ends of Sunset Drive,

1485
00:43:23,587 --> 00:43:25,307
we

1486
00:43:25,307 --> 00:43:27,241
ve squared the intersections

1487
00:43:27,241 --> 00:43:28,743
which are otherwise diverges

1488
00:43:28,743 --> 00:43:28,936
and merges, and I think that

1489
00:43:28,936 --> 00:43:30,879
s

1490
00:43:30,879 --> 00:43:32,280
been helpful on calming traffic

1491
00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,880
of those two. So anyway, thanks

1492
00:43:47,729 --> 00:43:51,132
a lot and keep up good work.

1493
00:43:51,132 --> 00:43:52,567
Um, Ron Matdoch Leenheim, um, I

1494
00:43:52,567 --> 00:43:54,703
wanna begin by thanking, uh, MR.

1495
00:43:54,703 --> 00:43:56,371
Nutter for a very good

1496
00:43:56,371 --> 00:43:56,805
presentation detailing

1497
00:43:56,805 --> 00:43:57,106
everything the city

1498
00:43:57,106 --> 00:43:57,840
s been

1499
00:43:57,840 --> 00:43:58,940
working on.

1500
00:43:58,940 --> 00:44:00,542
And although a lot has been

1501
00:44:00,542 --> 00:44:02,178
done, I think there is much

1502
00:44:02,178 --> 00:44:03,145
that needs to be done to

1503
00:44:03,145 --> 00:44:04,480
improve traffic safety in

1504
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:06,382
Encinitas.

1505
00:44:06,382 --> 00:44:08,350
Um, for many reasons, among

1506
00:44:08,350 --> 00:44:09,819
them the force build out

1507
00:44:09,819 --> 00:44:10,100
throughout San Diego County.

1508
00:44:10,100 --> 00:44:11,720
It

1509
00:44:11,720 --> 00:44:13,155
s definitely an increase in

1510
00:44:13,155 --> 00:44:14,190
traffic throughout town and

1511
00:44:14,190 --> 00:44:15,658
with it an increase in

1512
00:44:15,658 --> 00:44:17,260
irresponsible driving.

1513
00:44:17,260 --> 00:44:19,495
There are a number of roads

1514
00:44:19,495 --> 00:44:21,630
that lend themselves to this

1515
00:44:21,630 --> 00:44:22,699
dangerous behavior, and among

1516
00:44:22,699 --> 00:44:24,434
them is El Camino del Norte.

1517
00:44:24,434 --> 00:44:25,868
And I know it well. I bicycle

1518
00:44:25,868 --> 00:44:26,690
it every week and I still

1519
00:44:26,690 --> 00:44:27,300
didn

1520
00:44:27,300 --> 00:44:28,271
t realize it was a speed

1521
00:44:28,271 --> 00:44:30,271
corridor.

1522
00:44:31,240 --> 00:44:31,841
A few days after the crash, the

1523
00:44:31,841 --> 00:44:32,675
Tuch Fin Faddock

1524
00:44:32,675 --> 00:44:34,110
s life, my son

1525
00:44:34,110 --> 00:44:35,545
and I went to the trail

1526
00:44:35,545 --> 00:44:36,880
crossing and tape measured with

1527
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:38,348
a 50 ft tape measure what

1528
00:44:38,348 --> 00:44:40,583
appears to be the physical

1529
00:44:40,583 --> 00:44:42,583
evidence.

1530
00:44:43,220 --> 00:44:45,220
And um,

1531
00:44:45,589 --> 00:44:47,390
We did not have, um, thank you

1532
00:44:47,390 --> 00:44:48,925
for that, uh, admittedly we did

1533
00:44:48,925 --> 00:44:50,994
not have access to the vehicle

1534
00:44:50,994 --> 00:44:53,397
in order to be able to verify

1535
00:44:53,397 --> 00:44:55,299
that the fresh black skid marks

1536
00:44:55,299 --> 00:44:55,766
came from the Nissan z and we

1537
00:44:55,766 --> 00:44:57,668
didn

1538
00:44:57,668 --> 00:44:59,703
t have the electronic data

1539
00:44:59,703 --> 00:45:00,169
recorder, the sheriff

1540
00:45:00,169 --> 00:45:01,710
s

1541
00:45:01,710 --> 00:45:02,639
investigation committee team

1542
00:45:02,639 --> 00:45:04,639
does.

1543
00:45:04,742 --> 00:45:08,211
And um if one just looks at the

1544
00:45:08,211 --> 00:45:08,512
skid marks alone, 71 ft. It

1545
00:45:08,512 --> 00:45:10,413
s

1546
00:45:10,413 --> 00:45:12,115
clear this was the conditions

1547
00:45:12,115 --> 00:45:14,218
that this driver saw as he went

1548
00:45:14,218 --> 00:45:15,319
up the road 100 yards from that

1549
00:45:15,319 --> 00:45:17,319
crossing.

1550
00:45:17,320 --> 00:45:19,190
Very clear that he was well in

1551
00:45:19,190 --> 00:45:20,693
excess of what was a safe speed,

1552
00:45:20,693 --> 00:45:21,292
which was less, I

1553
00:45:21,292 --> 00:45:22,794
m sure, than

1554
00:45:22,794 --> 00:45:24,729
the 35 miles an hour that was

1555
00:45:24,729 --> 00:45:25,630
posted.

1556
00:45:25,630 --> 00:45:26,664
Unfortunately, there

1557
00:45:26,664 --> 00:45:28,599
s a subset

1558
00:45:28,599 --> 00:45:30,670
of drivers that are

1559
00:45:30,670 --> 00:45:32,467
incorrigible and dangerous to

1560
00:45:32,503 --> 00:45:33,400
all of us, and we can

1561
00:45:33,400 --> 00:45:34,839
t stop

1562
00:45:34,839 --> 00:45:36,740
them alone by trying to stop

1563
00:45:36,740 --> 00:45:38,176
their behavior. We need to

1564
00:45:38,176 --> 00:45:40,111
actually physically slow those

1565
00:45:40,111 --> 00:45:42,120
vehicles, and I think the

1566
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:43,948
committee should be formed to

1567
00:45:43,948 --> 00:45:45,517
use traffic devices that slow

1568
00:45:45,517 --> 00:45:48,486
vehicles on the roads that are

1569
00:45:48,486 --> 00:45:49,620
found to be the prime roads and

1570
00:45:49,620 --> 00:45:51,222
begin with us, we can look at

1571
00:45:51,222 --> 00:45:53,124
the whole city, but we can run

1572
00:45:53,124 --> 00:45:55,193
the most dangerous the devices

1573
00:45:55,193 --> 00:45:56,194
used to be such as.

1574
00:45:56,194 --> 00:45:57,161
Speed cushions raised

1575
00:45:57,161 --> 00:45:58,630
crosswalks, raised

1576
00:45:58,630 --> 00:46:00,131
intersections, speed tables,

1577
00:46:00,131 --> 00:46:02,000
rumble strips, roundabouts, as

1578
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:03,401
well as all other manner of

1579
00:46:03,401 --> 00:46:04,436
devices. We have people here

1580
00:46:04,436 --> 00:46:05,837
that are perfectly capable of

1581
00:46:05,837 --> 00:46:07,380
doing that, and I suggest to

1582
00:46:07,380 --> 00:46:07,772
the committee in my public

1583
00:46:07,772 --> 00:46:08,673
comment, and I

1584
00:46:08,673 --> 00:46:10,575
m gonna include

1585
00:46:10,575 --> 00:46:12,678
a close first responders, that

1586
00:46:12,678 --> 00:46:14,246
would be Chief Gordon and the

1587
00:46:14,246 --> 00:46:16,215
Captain Watts.

1588
00:46:16,215 --> 00:46:17,216
Um,

1589
00:46:17,216 --> 00:46:19,616
The second thing is

1590
00:46:19,618 --> 00:46:20,686
unfortunately we have some

1591
00:46:20,686 --> 00:46:21,487
infrastructure that

1592
00:46:21,487 --> 00:46:22,654
s been put

1593
00:46:22,654 --> 00:46:23,255
in place, which is also

1594
00:46:23,255 --> 00:46:24,523
dangerous. It

1595
00:46:24,523 --> 00:46:26,391
s cost 2 lives of

1596
00:46:26,391 --> 00:46:27,860
cyclists unnecessarily, uh,

1597
00:46:27,860 --> 00:46:28,860
which is a scandal. It

1598
00:46:28,860 --> 00:46:30,663
s also

1599
00:46:30,663 --> 00:46:31,730
caused multiple injuries, um,

1600
00:46:31,730 --> 00:46:34,500
especially on the South Beach

1601
00:46:34,500 --> 00:46:37,336
area, uh, we have a committee

1602
00:46:37,336 --> 00:46:38,804
now formed on the mtsc with

1603
00:46:38,804 --> 00:46:39,305
John Eldon and myself and we

1604
00:46:39,305 --> 00:46:40,740
re

1605
00:46:40,740 --> 00:46:41,940
looking forward to cooperation

1606
00:46:41,940 --> 00:46:44,143
and support from the city

1607
00:46:44,143 --> 00:46:45,445
council, uh, in a subcommittee

1608
00:46:45,445 --> 00:46:47,146
to evaluate, uh, with the

1609
00:46:47,146 --> 00:46:48,781
purpose of removing.

1610
00:46:48,781 --> 00:46:49,649
Dangerous and unnecessary bull.

1611
00:46:49,649 --> 00:46:51,649
Thank you.

1612
00:47:00,593 --> 00:47:02,593
Thank you.

1613
00:47:03,129 --> 00:47:03,315
Right, thanks for that, um.

1614
00:47:03,315 --> 00:47:04,563
I

1615
00:47:04,563 --> 00:47:06,566
d like to start by thanking

1616
00:47:06,566 --> 00:47:06,734
the council for hosting this.

1617
00:47:06,734 --> 00:47:08,134
It

1618
00:47:08,134 --> 00:47:09,402
s great to see the, um, the

1619
00:47:09,402 --> 00:47:10,337
turnout. Clearly a lot of

1620
00:47:10,337 --> 00:47:11,971
people are caring about street

1621
00:47:11,971 --> 00:47:14,400
safety, which is awesome.

1622
00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:15,108
Um, and to put it on a special

1623
00:47:15,108 --> 00:47:15,976
meeting. I appreciate it. You

1624
00:47:15,976 --> 00:47:17,310
guys spent a lot of time

1625
00:47:17,310 --> 00:47:19,279
working and coming and staying

1626
00:47:19,279 --> 00:47:20,780
up late and um I appreciate it.

1627
00:47:20,780 --> 00:47:21,849
Also, thank you for the staff

1628
00:47:21,849 --> 00:47:24,117
for the report and all the hard

1629
00:47:24,117 --> 00:47:25,352
work. I think we can all agree

1630
00:47:25,352 --> 00:47:27,821
that um staff has been

1631
00:47:27,821 --> 00:47:29,723
fantastic.

1632
00:47:29,723 --> 00:47:30,991
And it requires us to hold some

1633
00:47:30,991 --> 00:47:32,660
of this nuance in our minds as

1634
00:47:32,660 --> 00:47:33,727
we think through the current

1635
00:47:33,727 --> 00:47:35,620
situation because we can have

1636
00:47:35,620 --> 00:47:36,530
an amazing staff, a strong

1637
00:47:36,530 --> 00:47:38,980
council, a wonderful sheriff,

1638
00:47:38,980 --> 00:47:39,200
be working on a really

1639
00:47:39,200 --> 00:47:40,400
important projects, spending

1640
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:40,583
tons of money doing it. It

1641
00:47:40,583 --> 00:47:41,401
s

1642
00:47:41,401 --> 00:47:43,737
still not getting the result

1643
00:47:43,737 --> 00:47:43,908
that we want.

1644
00:47:43,908 --> 00:47:45,806
We

1645
00:47:45,806 --> 00:47:47,441
ve had 17 fatalities since

1646
00:47:47,441 --> 00:47:48,375
2016 for pedestrians and

1647
00:47:48,375 --> 00:47:48,835
cyclists.

1648
00:47:48,835 --> 00:47:49,210
That

1649
00:47:49,210 --> 00:47:49,610
s a lot.

1650
00:47:49,610 --> 00:47:50,510
So it

1651
00:47:50,510 --> 00:47:52,130
s gonna take some

1652
00:47:52,130 --> 00:47:52,279
leadership to admit that even

1653
00:47:52,279 --> 00:47:53,480
though we

1654
00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:53,680
re working hard, that

1655
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:54,414
there

1656
00:47:54,414 --> 00:47:56,450
s a gap between where we

1657
00:47:56,450 --> 00:47:57,251
are now and where we want to be.

1658
00:47:57,251 --> 00:47:59,954
And we need to figure out how

1659
00:47:59,954 --> 00:48:01,556
to bridge that gap.

1660
00:48:01,556 --> 00:48:02,890
Our community Safe Streets

1661
00:48:02,890 --> 00:48:03,110
Enitas came together after

1662
00:48:03,110 --> 00:48:04,325
Emery

1663
00:48:04,325 --> 00:48:05,994
s death last year. It

1664
00:48:05,994 --> 00:48:07,428
really hit Parkdale Lane hard.

1665
00:48:07,428 --> 00:48:08,960
We watched John and Bridget go

1666
00:48:08,960 --> 00:48:08,896
through what they

1667
00:48:08,896 --> 00:48:09,531
ve had to go

1668
00:48:09,531 --> 00:48:10,398
through, and we

1669
00:48:10,398 --> 00:48:12,798
ve just seen so

1670
00:48:12,967 --> 00:48:14,569
much pain across the community.

1671
00:48:14,569 --> 00:48:16,170
Our advocacy has always been

1672
00:48:16,170 --> 00:48:17,238
about

1673
00:48:17,238 --> 00:48:18,973
Stopping fatalities on the

1674
00:48:18,973 --> 00:48:20,976
streets, and it continues to be.

1675
00:48:20,976 --> 00:48:22,430
The Hoboken cases study is

1676
00:48:22,430 --> 00:48:22,217
actually just about process.

1677
00:48:22,217 --> 00:48:24,790
It

1678
00:48:24,790 --> 00:48:25,547
s not about what they did.

1679
00:48:25,547 --> 00:48:26,681
This goes into the 5th e

1680
00:48:26,681 --> 00:48:28,350
evaluation, I guess is gonna be

1681
00:48:28,350 --> 00:48:30,350
my request.

1682
00:48:30,619 --> 00:48:32,754
How do we draw a direct line

1683
00:48:32,754 --> 00:48:34,255
from the risks that are causing

1684
00:48:34,255 --> 00:48:34,489
the fatalities to the projects

1685
00:48:34,489 --> 00:48:35,223
that we

1686
00:48:35,223 --> 00:48:35,890
re spending money on

1687
00:48:35,890 --> 00:48:36,920
and make sure that we

1688
00:48:36,920 --> 00:48:37,580
re

1689
00:48:37,580 --> 00:48:37,626
getting the results that we

1690
00:48:37,626 --> 00:48:38,126
need. We

1691
00:48:38,126 --> 00:48:39,930
ve already had

1692
00:48:39,930 --> 00:48:40,496
multiple people come up here

1693
00:48:40,496 --> 00:48:42,297
and talk about what happened on

1694
00:48:42,297 --> 00:48:44,199
El Camino del Norte.

1695
00:48:44,199 --> 00:48:46,235
The community needs a place

1696
00:48:46,235 --> 00:48:46,869
after fatality to show up and

1697
00:48:46,869 --> 00:48:47,136
speak about what they

1698
00:48:47,136 --> 00:48:47,803
re

1699
00:48:47,803 --> 00:48:48,604
feeling, what they

1700
00:48:48,604 --> 00:48:50,573
ve seen,

1701
00:48:50,573 --> 00:48:52,400
share ideas, and we need to

1702
00:48:52,400 --> 00:48:52,875
address it. There

1703
00:48:52,875 --> 00:48:54,110
s been 6

1704
00:48:54,110 --> 00:48:55,711
fatalities since Brodie got,

1705
00:48:55,711 --> 00:48:55,908
got hit.

1706
00:48:55,908 --> 00:48:57,908
She

1707
00:49:00,215 --> 00:49:00,483
s just been 3 years.

1708
00:49:00,483 --> 00:49:02,285
I haven

1709
00:49:02,285 --> 00:49:03,753
t seen a single one of

1710
00:49:03,753 --> 00:49:05,753
those locations reviewed

1711
00:49:07,423 --> 00:49:08,891
publicly.

1712
00:49:08,891 --> 00:49:09,425
We might be doing some of this

1713
00:49:09,425 --> 00:49:10,493
already and that

1714
00:49:10,493 --> 00:49:11,594
s the request

1715
00:49:11,594 --> 00:49:12,461
for more transparency around

1716
00:49:12,461 --> 00:49:12,962
the 5th e. If we

1717
00:49:12,962 --> 00:49:13,329
re doing some

1718
00:49:13,329 --> 00:49:13,963
of this, let

1719
00:49:13,963 --> 00:49:14,630
s please make it

1720
00:49:14,630 --> 00:49:15,164
public. I think there

1721
00:49:15,164 --> 00:49:17,164
s a home

1722
00:49:17,433 --> 00:49:17,700
for it at mtsfc maybe somewhere

1723
00:49:17,700 --> 00:49:19,101
else.

1724
00:49:19,101 --> 00:49:19,334
Um

1725
00:49:19,334 --> 00:49:20,169
I don

1726
00:49:20,169 --> 00:49:21,870
t care if we call it

1727
00:49:21,870 --> 00:49:22,471
Vision Zero.

1728
00:49:22,471 --> 00:49:23,640
I don

1729
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:25,275
t care if we take

1730
00:49:25,275 --> 00:49:25,809
inspiration from Hoboken.

1731
00:49:25,809 --> 00:49:26,476
Or we just don

1732
00:49:26,476 --> 00:49:27,610
t want to see

1733
00:49:27,610 --> 00:49:30,847
any more kids get run over and

1734
00:49:30,847 --> 00:49:32,382
crosswalks.

1735
00:49:32,382 --> 00:49:35,318
So the request is that we have

1736
00:49:35,318 --> 00:49:37,287
some kind of fatality review.

1737
00:49:37,287 --> 00:49:37,469
Let the community come together.

1738
00:49:37,469 --> 00:49:39,220
Let

1739
00:49:39,220 --> 00:49:40,323
s get our crack stuff

1740
00:49:40,323 --> 00:49:44,523
working on it. I think we can

1741
00:50:00,277 --> 00:50:02,312
do this, you guys. Thank you.

1742
00:50:02,312 --> 00:50:03,514
Next 3 speakers Laura Russell,

1743
00:50:03,514 --> 00:50:05,914
followed by Travis Newhouse,

1744
00:50:10,187 --> 00:50:10,788
and then Chris Giles.

1745
00:50:10,788 --> 00:50:11,689
Hi, I

1746
00:50:11,689 --> 00:50:14,910
m Laura Russell, and I

1747
00:50:14,910 --> 00:50:16,193
want to thank the previous

1748
00:50:16,193 --> 00:50:17,762
speakers, uh, especially Ron

1749
00:50:17,762 --> 00:50:19,997
Medd, um, whos always been a,

1750
00:50:19,997 --> 00:50:21,799
if you could address us.

1751
00:50:21,799 --> 00:50:24,199
Yeah, thank you, helps.

1752
00:50:24,735 --> 00:50:26,970
That way we can hear you but

1753
00:50:26,970 --> 00:50:28,706
that was a somewhat heroic

1754
00:50:28,706 --> 00:50:30,108
testimony, and I want to thank

1755
00:50:30,108 --> 00:50:30,508
him for it. Um, I

1756
00:50:30,508 --> 00:50:32,508
m Laura

1757
00:50:32,910 --> 00:50:34,345
Russell. I live at the

1758
00:50:34,345 --> 00:50:36,580
intersection of Windmill Ranch

1759
00:50:36,580 --> 00:50:40,840
Road and El Camino del Norte.

1760
00:50:40,840 --> 00:50:40,785
And I think it bears repeating

1761
00:50:40,785 --> 00:50:42,287
what we

1762
00:50:42,287 --> 00:50:44,287
re actually talking

1763
00:50:45,900 --> 00:50:47,292
about today and that is

1764
00:50:47,292 --> 00:50:48,760
pedestrian fatalities. 6 weeks

1765
00:50:48,760 --> 00:50:51,160
ago, on JULY 10th.

1766
00:50:51,196 --> 00:50:53,698
I was sitting in my family room.

1767
00:50:53,698 --> 00:50:54,999
And with apologies to any

1768
00:50:54,999 --> 00:50:56,535
family or friends of the

1769
00:50:56,535 --> 00:50:59,400
deceased who MAY be here. I

1770
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:01,400
heard a thud.

1771
00:51:03,408 --> 00:51:06,100
I heard a screech of tires.

1772
00:51:06,100 --> 00:51:08,410
I heard voices yelling.

1773
00:51:08,447 --> 00:51:10,582
By the time I got my shoes on

1774
00:51:10,582 --> 00:51:13,185
and myself down to right where

1775
00:51:13,185 --> 00:51:14,787
the accident took place, a 17

1776
00:51:14,787 --> 00:51:17,787
year old girl had been

1777
00:51:18,990 --> 00:51:21,260
pronounced dead in one of the

1778
00:51:21,260 --> 00:51:22,828
enhanced crosswalks that people

1779
00:51:22,828 --> 00:51:24,196
in our area take as maybe as a

1780
00:51:24,196 --> 00:51:25,264
suggestion. They never stopped

1781
00:51:25,264 --> 00:51:27,233
there.

1782
00:51:27,233 --> 00:51:29,233
So,

1783
00:51:31,837 --> 00:51:34,173
I think one of my main concerns

1784
00:51:34,173 --> 00:51:36,420
is despite some.

1785
00:51:36,420 --> 00:51:37,976
Modest tributes that friends

1786
00:51:37,976 --> 00:51:40,790
and family have left for that

1787
00:51:40,790 --> 00:51:43,916
teenage girl at the site of the

1788
00:51:43,916 --> 00:51:45,585
accident, there is no other

1789
00:51:45,585 --> 00:51:47,387
acknowledgement that that

1790
00:51:47,387 --> 00:51:49,787
teenage girl died there.

1791
00:51:50,422 --> 00:51:52,580
Drivers can drive by with no

1792
00:51:52,580 --> 00:51:54,458
knowledge that someone just

1793
00:51:54,760 --> 00:51:56,760
died there.

1794
00:51:57,330 --> 00:51:59,366
So my request is that.

1795
00:51:59,366 --> 00:52:02,350
To dovetail on the previous

1796
00:52:02,350 --> 00:52:03,670
speaker, we need more public

1797
00:52:03,670 --> 00:52:05,670
acknowledgement of these

1798
00:52:06,907 --> 00:52:08,375
fatalities. Someone lost their

1799
00:52:08,375 --> 00:52:10,775
beautiful teenage daughter. And

1800
00:52:12,212 --> 00:52:15,150
I think the drivers who are

1801
00:52:15,150 --> 00:52:16,717
using our corridor to um

1802
00:52:16,717 --> 00:52:18,719
commute from Escondido to the

1803
00:52:18,719 --> 00:52:20,954
coast and back every day at

1804
00:52:20,954 --> 00:52:21,155
high speeds. I need to borrow

1805
00:52:21,155 --> 00:52:23,155
Bruce

1806
00:52:23,157 --> 00:52:24,580
s speed gun if I can. I

1807
00:52:24,580 --> 00:52:26,580
think the

1808
00:52:26,627 --> 00:52:27,194
Speed limit there is 35. It

1809
00:52:27,194 --> 00:52:29,194
s

1810
00:52:30,130 --> 00:52:31,650
people are going 40, 50, 60. I

1811
00:52:31,650 --> 00:52:31,799
stopped at the sheriff

1812
00:52:31,799 --> 00:52:33,233
s office

1813
00:52:33,233 --> 00:52:33,434
just before the meeting tonight.

1814
00:52:33,434 --> 00:52:34,368
They

1815
00:52:34,368 --> 00:52:35,369
re always so nice and

1816
00:52:35,369 --> 00:52:37,571
helpful, but they wanted to

1817
00:52:37,571 --> 00:52:39,273
know, well, when do you want us

1818
00:52:39,273 --> 00:52:39,674
to conduct a speed trap there

1819
00:52:39,674 --> 00:52:40,975
because that

1820
00:52:40,975 --> 00:52:43,375
s one of my

1821
00:52:44,411 --> 00:52:46,714
solutions. And I said, uh,

1822
00:52:46,714 --> 00:52:46,957
practically 24/7, uh, we hear

1823
00:52:46,957 --> 00:52:48,582
as we

1824
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:49,917
re sleeping at night, we

1825
00:52:49,917 --> 00:52:51,850
hear people racing during

1826
00:52:51,850 --> 00:52:51,919
commute hours, people are

1827
00:52:51,919 --> 00:52:53,919
racing.

1828
00:52:53,955 --> 00:52:54,789
Um

1829
00:52:54,789 --> 00:52:56,457
And frankly, I

1830
00:52:56,457 --> 00:52:56,692
m not picky.

1831
00:52:56,692 --> 00:52:58,359
I

1832
00:52:58,359 --> 00:52:59,260
ll take stop signs. I

1833
00:52:59,260 --> 00:53:00,428
ll take

1834
00:53:00,428 --> 00:53:00,605
speed bumps, whatever you

1835
00:53:00,605 --> 00:53:02,605
re

1836
00:53:04,599 --> 00:53:06,267
willing to give us. We need

1837
00:53:06,267 --> 00:53:08,169
physical impediments to

1838
00:53:08,169 --> 00:53:09,770
speeders on that road, and I do

1839
00:53:09,770 --> 00:53:13,970
thank you for all of your work

1840
00:53:21,490 --> 00:53:21,683
on that issue.

1841
00:53:21,683 --> 00:53:23,185
Hello, I

1842
00:53:23,185 --> 00:53:24,486
m Travis Newhouse, uh,

1843
00:53:24,486 --> 00:53:26,200
resident of District 2 and

1844
00:53:26,200 --> 00:53:27,356
member of Ensigns Bike Walk. I

1845
00:53:27,356 --> 00:53:28,490
just wanna start, uh, say thank

1846
00:53:28,490 --> 00:53:30,291
you to City council and staff

1847
00:53:30,291 --> 00:53:30,492
for the new bike rides at

1848
00:53:30,492 --> 00:53:31,793
Swami

1849
00:53:31,793 --> 00:53:33,461
s, uh, the upgrade from

1850
00:53:33,461 --> 00:53:34,663
the old wave style rack has

1851
00:53:34,663 --> 00:53:35,764
more capacity and much more

1852
00:53:35,764 --> 00:53:37,932
room for bikes with surf racks.

1853
00:53:37,932 --> 00:53:39,434
So thank you. Um, now on the

1854
00:53:39,434 --> 00:53:42,604
topic of safe streets. Uh, I

1855
00:53:42,604 --> 00:53:43,639
moved to Encinitas in 2011

1856
00:53:43,639 --> 00:53:44,939
because I found a neighborhood

1857
00:53:44,939 --> 00:53:46,410
where my kids could walk and

1858
00:53:46,410 --> 00:53:47,510
bike to school.

1859
00:53:47,510 --> 00:53:49,811
And back then, few bikes were

1860
00:53:49,811 --> 00:53:51,180
on the road. Adults or kids.

1861
00:53:51,180 --> 00:53:51,614
Parents that I knew at school

1862
00:53:51,614 --> 00:53:52,248
told me they didn

1863
00:53:52,248 --> 00:53:53,315
t feel safe

1864
00:53:53,315 --> 00:53:53,531
letting their kids ride, and

1865
00:53:53,531 --> 00:53:54,483
that

1866
00:53:54,483 --> 00:53:56,352
s why I got involved with

1867
00:53:56,352 --> 00:53:58,530
Encious Bike Walk.

1868
00:53:58,530 --> 00:53:59,455
This morning, I rode past

1869
00:53:59,455 --> 00:54:01,190
Oceannolano Crest on the way to

1870
00:54:01,190 --> 00:54:02,625
the barber. I saw dozens of

1871
00:54:02,625 --> 00:54:03,926
families on cargo bikes, kids

1872
00:54:03,926 --> 00:54:05,495
riding their own bikes, and

1873
00:54:05,495 --> 00:54:06,963
even more students walking.

1874
00:54:06,963 --> 00:54:08,230
When my own kids were young, I

1875
00:54:08,230 --> 00:54:09,432
only saw those numbers when we

1876
00:54:09,432 --> 00:54:11,670
organized a bike and walk to

1877
00:54:11,670 --> 00:54:12,368
school day. I was very happy to

1878
00:54:12,368 --> 00:54:14,337
see the improvement.

1879
00:54:14,337 --> 00:54:15,971
And that tells you something.

1880
00:54:15,971 --> 00:54:16,205
Demand for safe streets isn

1881
00:54:16,205 --> 00:54:17,273
t

1882
00:54:17,273 --> 00:54:18,700
hypothetical. It

1883
00:54:18,700 --> 00:54:18,941
s already here

1884
00:54:18,941 --> 00:54:19,843
every morning.

1885
00:54:19,843 --> 00:54:20,210
And I appreciate what I

1886
00:54:20,210 --> 00:54:22,178
ve seen

1887
00:54:22,178 --> 00:54:22,411
in the city do in the 15 years

1888
00:54:22,411 --> 00:54:22,879
that I

1889
00:54:22,879 --> 00:54:24,546
ve lived here, but I

1890
00:54:24,546 --> 00:54:26,116
think we can do more.

1891
00:54:26,116 --> 00:54:27,551
When I hear people talking

1892
00:54:27,551 --> 00:54:28,485
about e-bikes as a problem, I

1893
00:54:28,485 --> 00:54:30,485
cringe.

1894
00:54:31,288 --> 00:54:32,889
I see it as an opportunity.

1895
00:54:32,889 --> 00:54:34,624
Every person on a bike or

1896
00:54:34,624 --> 00:54:35,559
e-bike is one less car on our

1897
00:54:35,559 --> 00:54:37,559
streets.

1898
00:54:38,161 --> 00:54:39,329
We should be encouraging that

1899
00:54:39,329 --> 00:54:40,697
transportation choice by

1900
00:54:40,697 --> 00:54:42,466
providing safe streets that

1901
00:54:42,466 --> 00:54:43,867
give people of all ages the

1902
00:54:43,867 --> 00:54:45,135
freedom to get around.

1903
00:54:45,135 --> 00:54:47,700
While cutting traffic for

1904
00:54:47,700 --> 00:54:48,238
everyone.

1905
00:54:48,238 --> 00:54:48,805
Council members o

1906
00:54:48,805 --> 00:54:49,972
Hara and

1907
00:54:49,972 --> 00:54:51,400
Schaeffer, uh, you have talked

1908
00:54:51,400 --> 00:54:52,976
about routing bikes and

1909
00:54:52,976 --> 00:54:54,845
pedestrians onto calmer, safer

1910
00:54:54,845 --> 00:54:55,230
streets. I love that idea. And

1911
00:54:55,230 --> 00:54:57,230
I

1912
00:54:58,182 --> 00:54:59,717
m asking the city to build a

1913
00:54:59,717 --> 00:55:00,650
comprehensive calm street

1914
00:55:00,650 --> 00:55:01,819
network connecting our

1915
00:55:01,819 --> 00:55:02,486
neighborhoods to the places we

1916
00:55:02,486 --> 00:55:04,121
want to go.

1917
00:55:04,121 --> 00:55:05,856
So that we can get there safely.

1918
00:55:05,856 --> 00:55:06,690
Lowering the speed limits is a

1919
00:55:06,690 --> 00:55:07,570
good first step that we

1920
00:55:07,570 --> 00:55:09,570
ve

1921
00:55:09,126 --> 00:55:10,460
tried, but I still see drivers

1922
00:55:10,460 --> 00:55:11,495
speeding on streets in my

1923
00:55:11,495 --> 00:55:13,463
neighborhood like Gardena,

1924
00:55:13,463 --> 00:55:15,863
Melba, and Nardo Road.

1925
00:55:15,933 --> 00:55:17,668
Signs alone are not enough.

1926
00:55:17,668 --> 00:55:19,203
We need physical infrastructure.

1927
00:55:19,203 --> 00:55:20,738
We need streets to be built to

1928
00:55:20,738 --> 00:55:22,738
keep speeds low.

1929
00:55:22,740 --> 00:55:23,841
There are great examples in

1930
00:55:23,841 --> 00:55:25,176
Cardiff on Rubenstein Avenue

1931
00:55:25,176 --> 00:55:26,210
and Summit Avenue, where they

1932
00:55:26,210 --> 00:55:27,945
have chicanes that slow down

1933
00:55:27,945 --> 00:55:29,547
the speed of cars.

1934
00:55:29,547 --> 00:55:31,782
More of that is necessary in

1935
00:55:31,782 --> 00:55:32,950
Encinitas.

1936
00:55:32,950 --> 00:55:34,850
Safer streets are an

1937
00:55:34,850 --> 00:55:35,385
opportunity.

1938
00:55:35,385 --> 00:55:36,688
To give people transportation

1939
00:55:36,688 --> 00:55:38,123
choices.

1940
00:55:38,123 --> 00:55:39,824
Prevent deaths and injuries.

1941
00:55:39,824 --> 00:55:42,824
And to make every neighborhood

1942
00:55:53,710 --> 00:55:54,172
in Encinitas better. Thank you.

1943
00:55:54,172 --> 00:55:55,540
Hello, my name

1944
00:55:55,540 --> 00:55:57,476
s Chris Giles,

1945
00:55:57,476 --> 00:55:59,344
uh, district 2 and a member of

1946
00:55:59,344 --> 00:56:00,879
Encinitas Bike Walk. Uh, I want

1947
00:56:00,879 --> 00:56:02,347
to start off thanking all of

1948
00:56:02,347 --> 00:56:02,748
you and city staff for all the

1949
00:56:02,748 --> 00:56:03,682
work that

1950
00:56:03,682 --> 00:56:04,850
s been done because

1951
00:56:04,850 --> 00:56:05,683
there has been a lot of stuff

1952
00:56:05,683 --> 00:56:07,119
done.

1953
00:56:07,119 --> 00:56:09,540
Um, during the oral

1954
00:56:09,540 --> 00:56:10,889
communications at the last

1955
00:56:10,889 --> 00:56:11,724
mobility traffic Safety

1956
00:56:11,724 --> 00:56:12,892
commission meeting, a woman who

1957
00:56:12,892 --> 00:56:15,827
lives in the neighborhood west

1958
00:56:15,827 --> 00:56:17,196
of the 5 near Roquesa expressed

1959
00:56:17,196 --> 00:56:18,564
her concern that increased

1960
00:56:18,564 --> 00:56:20,566
traffic on Encs Boulevard was

1961
00:56:20,566 --> 00:56:21,900
leading to more, more motorists

1962
00:56:21,900 --> 00:56:23,202
using Riqueza and surrounding

1963
00:56:23,202 --> 00:56:25,871
neighborhood streets as a cut

1964
00:56:25,871 --> 00:56:26,740
through to cross the freeway.

1965
00:56:26,740 --> 00:56:27,473
She

1966
00:56:27,473 --> 00:56:28,574
s visibly frustrated by the

1967
00:56:28,574 --> 00:56:28,840
number of motorists and how

1968
00:56:28,840 --> 00:56:29,675
fast they

1969
00:56:29,675 --> 00:56:31,177
re driving. These

1970
00:56:31,177 --> 00:56:33,790
neighborhoods are where people

1971
00:56:33,790 --> 00:56:34,213
live. Children play, and people

1972
00:56:34,213 --> 00:56:36,582
walk their dogs, and these are

1973
00:56:36,582 --> 00:56:38,982
quiet city streets that

1974
00:56:39,180 --> 00:56:40,653
should not be used, uh, as

1975
00:56:40,653 --> 00:56:42,653
expressways for motorists

1976
00:56:42,755 --> 00:56:44,570
convenience. Riqueza is one of

1977
00:56:44,570 --> 00:56:46,326
the two routes where people

1978
00:56:46,326 --> 00:56:47,593
walking or biking can cross the

1979
00:56:47,593 --> 00:56:48,894
freeway without conflicting

1980
00:56:48,894 --> 00:56:51,130
with motorists entering or

1981
00:56:51,130 --> 00:56:53,330
exiting the 5. It is a key

1982
00:56:53,330 --> 00:56:54,200
route for kids riding their

1983
00:56:54,200 --> 00:56:56,600
bikes between several schools

1984
00:56:56,670 --> 00:56:58,238
downtown in the uh surrounding

1985
00:56:58,238 --> 00:56:59,573
neighborhoods. Unfortunately I

1986
00:56:59,573 --> 00:57:01,973
commonly see motorists driving

1987
00:57:02,107 --> 00:57:03,810
35 to 40 miles an hour across

1988
00:57:03,810 --> 00:57:06,580
the narrow freeway bridge where

1989
00:57:06,580 --> 00:57:08,848
kids share the lane. Crest.

1990
00:57:08,848 --> 00:57:10,984
And Melva are uh primary

1991
00:57:10,984 --> 00:57:12,285
connection for kids traveling

1992
00:57:12,285 --> 00:57:13,853
between East Encinitas and

1993
00:57:13,853 --> 00:57:15,756
schools, the park and the

1994
00:57:15,756 --> 00:57:17,357
community center, yet both of

1995
00:57:17,357 --> 00:57:19,125
these streets force kids on

1996
00:57:19,125 --> 00:57:21,161
bikes to share the same road

1997
00:57:21,161 --> 00:57:23,630
with motorists who often drive

1998
00:57:23,630 --> 00:57:24,564
above the speed limit.

1999
00:57:24,564 --> 00:57:25,199
This next part might sound like

2000
00:57:25,199 --> 00:57:26,100
it was rehearsed because it

2001
00:57:26,100 --> 00:57:28,670
s.

2002
00:57:28,670 --> 00:57:29,970
Kind of the same thing that

2003
00:57:29,970 --> 00:57:32,573
Travis just said, um, council

2004
00:57:32,573 --> 00:57:34,842
member Schaeffer, you have on

2005
00:57:34,842 --> 00:57:37,780
numerous occasions said that.

2006
00:57:37,780 --> 00:57:39,413
A solution to our motorists,

2007
00:57:39,413 --> 00:57:41,382
cyclist conflicts is for

2008
00:57:41,382 --> 00:57:43,250
cyclists to avoid arterial

2009
00:57:43,250 --> 00:57:44,719
streets and residential streets,

2010
00:57:44,719 --> 00:57:47,187
honestly, I agree with you. I

2011
00:57:47,187 --> 00:57:49,157
personally ride my bike and for

2012
00:57:49,157 --> 00:57:51,459
utility and transportation all

2013
00:57:51,459 --> 00:57:53,260
over Encinitas on a daily basis.

2014
00:57:53,260 --> 00:57:54,362
I primarily ride on residential

2015
00:57:54,362 --> 00:57:55,330
streets because it

2016
00:57:55,330 --> 00:57:57,198
s safer,

2017
00:57:57,198 --> 00:57:59,133
quieter and simply more

2018
00:57:59,133 --> 00:57:59,326
enjoyable to ride, but when

2019
00:57:59,326 --> 00:58:01,200
we

2020
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:02,804
re trying to encourage

2021
00:58:02,804 --> 00:58:04,439
cyclists of all ages and

2022
00:58:04,439 --> 00:58:05,390
abilities to ride on

2023
00:58:05,390 --> 00:58:05,840
residential.

2024
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,800
Streets, it doesn

2025
00:58:07,800 --> 00:58:08,443
t just mean

2026
00:58:08,443 --> 00:58:10,411
pushing them onto side streets

2027
00:58:10,411 --> 00:58:12,347
and then problem solved. Mixing

2028
00:58:12,347 --> 00:58:14,716
a young child or an older

2029
00:58:14,716 --> 00:58:17,152
cyclist riding at 12 miles an

2030
00:58:17,152 --> 00:58:17,348
hour with an impatient motorist

2031
00:58:17,348 --> 00:58:18,987
who

2032
00:58:18,987 --> 00:58:20,956
s driving 30 miles an hour

2033
00:58:20,956 --> 00:58:23,359
trying to get across town

2034
00:58:23,359 --> 00:58:25,600
quickly means more conflict and

2035
00:58:25,600 --> 00:58:26,827
more collisions for your idea

2036
00:58:26,827 --> 00:58:28,798
to be successful, and I do

2037
00:58:28,798 --> 00:58:30,566
believe that it can be. Those

2038
00:58:30,566 --> 00:58:32,568
residential streets need to be

2039
00:58:32,568 --> 00:58:33,836
designated as slow streets.

2040
00:58:33,836 --> 00:58:35,570
This means 20 mile an hour

2041
00:58:35,570 --> 00:58:37,390
speed limits.

2042
00:58:37,390 --> 00:58:38,273
Actual infrastructure that

2043
00:58:38,273 --> 00:58:40,273
physically slows motorist

2044
00:58:40,876 --> 00:58:42,444
traffic, such as speed cushions,

2045
00:58:42,444 --> 00:58:43,579
increased enforcement, and

2046
00:58:43,579 --> 00:58:43,758
possibly speed cameras. Let

2047
00:58:43,758 --> 00:58:45,346
s

2048
00:58:45,346 --> 00:58:48,840
build a network of slow streets

2049
00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:50,486
all over Encinitas that give

2050
00:58:50,486 --> 00:58:52,254
riding bikes or walking, the

2051
00:58:52,254 --> 00:58:52,888
freedom to move around town

2052
00:58:52,888 --> 00:58:53,856
safely and let

2053
00:58:53,856 --> 00:58:55,324
s start with the

2054
00:58:55,324 --> 00:58:56,525
residential corridor from Crest

2055
00:58:56,525 --> 00:58:58,194
to the east to the library in

2056
00:58:58,194 --> 00:59:01,794
downtown to the west. Thank you.

2057
00:59:05,801 --> 00:59:06,936
Next 3 speakers, Judy Burlfein,

2058
00:59:06,936 --> 00:59:09,936
followed by Connie Leslie, and

2059
00:59:16,179 --> 00:59:16,813
then Dennis Caden.

2060
00:59:16,813 --> 00:59:18,214
Hi, I

2061
00:59:18,214 --> 00:59:18,397
m Judy Burlfin, and I

2062
00:59:18,397 --> 00:59:19,816
m

2063
00:59:19,816 --> 00:59:20,316
also a member of Antonina

2064
00:59:20,316 --> 00:59:21,184
s

2065
00:59:21,184 --> 00:59:23,184
Bike Walk.

2066
00:59:23,687 --> 00:59:25,521
So thank you to the staff for

2067
00:59:25,521 --> 00:59:26,523
putting together a great

2068
00:59:26,523 --> 00:59:27,457
presentation, which I

2069
00:59:27,457 --> 00:59:29,259
m

2070
00:59:29,259 --> 00:59:31,495
guessing was maybe unfairly

2071
00:59:31,495 --> 00:59:32,929
short notice.

2072
00:59:32,929 --> 00:59:34,430
The two previous speakers

2073
00:59:34,430 --> 00:59:35,665
discussed a neighborhood

2074
00:59:35,665 --> 00:59:37,800
network, something that we can

2075
00:59:37,800 --> 00:59:39,736
all agree on.

2076
00:59:39,736 --> 00:59:42,172
But we must recognize that no

2077
00:59:42,172 --> 00:59:43,774
matter how great that

2078
00:59:43,774 --> 00:59:46,174
neighborhood network is one

2079
00:59:46,343 --> 00:59:48,378
must cross a major street to

2080
00:59:48,378 --> 00:59:48,679
get anywhere in this city.

2081
00:59:48,679 --> 00:59:50,679
I can

2082
00:59:51,480 --> 00:59:52,249
t go to Paullecky school

2083
00:59:52,249 --> 00:59:53,784
without crossing Encinitas

2084
00:59:53,784 --> 00:59:54,184
Boulevard and Vulcan.

2085
00:59:54,184 --> 00:59:55,185
Unless I

2086
00:59:55,185 --> 00:59:56,387
m willing to go way

2087
00:59:56,387 --> 00:59:56,920
out of my way.

2088
00:59:56,920 --> 00:59:58,822
I can

2089
00:59:58,822 --> 00:59:59,560
t go to my weight

2090
00:59:59,560 --> 01:00:00,991
trainer

2091
01:00:00,991 --> 01:00:03,227
s house in Spyglass

2092
01:00:03,227 --> 01:00:05,262
without crossing El Camino Real.

2093
01:00:05,262 --> 01:00:05,730
And when I was at Fox Pointe

2094
01:00:05,730 --> 01:00:06,764
Farms and I

2095
01:00:06,764 --> 01:00:08,699
d driven there and

2096
01:00:08,699 --> 01:00:10,868
drove parked on the other side

2097
01:00:10,868 --> 01:00:12,868
of Lucadia Boulevard.

2098
01:00:12,869 --> 01:00:14,471
There were 3 cars ready to hit

2099
01:00:14,471 --> 01:00:16,174
me as I crossed Lucadia

2100
01:00:16,174 --> 01:00:18,109
Boulevard as they turn right or

2101
01:00:18,109 --> 01:00:19,777
turned left.

2102
01:00:19,777 --> 01:00:20,611
So intersections are major

2103
01:00:20,611 --> 01:00:21,120
hazards. They

2104
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:22,947
re one of the

2105
01:00:22,947 --> 01:00:23,915
four focus areas of the Safe

2106
01:00:23,915 --> 01:00:24,415
Streets group. They

2107
01:00:24,415 --> 01:00:26,415
re high on

2108
01:00:26,750 --> 01:00:28,486
the list of the comprehensive

2109
01:00:28,486 --> 01:00:30,188
safety action plan, and they

2110
01:00:30,188 --> 01:00:32,560
are high on the list of

2111
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:33,758
Encinitas bike Walk, so how can

2112
01:00:33,758 --> 01:00:35,930
we improve the safety of our

2113
01:00:35,930 --> 01:00:37,610
intersections.

2114
01:00:37,610 --> 01:00:38,196
Many of the measures we have

2115
01:00:38,196 --> 01:00:39,864
installed around the city can

2116
01:00:39,864 --> 01:00:41,864
help.

2117
01:00:43,301 --> 01:00:44,736
Refuge islands, bulb outs, LPIs,

2118
01:00:44,736 --> 01:00:46,736
pedestrian scrambles, speed

2119
01:00:47,339 --> 01:00:49,273
radar signs, bicycle signals,

2120
01:00:49,273 --> 01:00:51,673
and quick build roundabouts.

2121
01:00:51,743 --> 01:00:54,580
But before we take any action,

2122
01:00:54,580 --> 01:00:55,800
we need a method of evaluating

2123
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:56,470
the measures we

2124
01:00:56,470 --> 01:00:57,649
ve installed,

2125
01:00:57,649 --> 01:00:58,884
and I learned today about some

2126
01:00:58,884 --> 01:00:59,350
of the evaluations you

2127
01:00:59,350 --> 01:00:59,784
ve done

2128
01:00:59,784 --> 01:01:00,586
already. I

2129
01:01:00,586 --> 01:01:01,587
d love to know if

2130
01:01:01,587 --> 01:01:01,794
there are more that we don

2131
01:01:01,794 --> 01:01:03,550
t

2132
01:01:03,550 --> 01:01:04,957
know about.

2133
01:01:04,957 --> 01:01:06,892
The real question is how do

2134
01:01:06,892 --> 01:01:09,328
speeds go down if we post lower

2135
01:01:09,328 --> 01:01:11,329
speed limits, so you said 2.2

2136
01:01:11,329 --> 01:01:12,464
miles. I think if we change

2137
01:01:12,464 --> 01:01:14,133
street design, we can bring

2138
01:01:14,133 --> 01:01:14,359
them down to what we

2139
01:01:14,359 --> 01:01:16,359
re

2140
01:01:16,434 --> 01:01:18,434
actually posting.

2141
01:01:20,238 --> 01:01:22,741
Do people stop at RRFBs and

2142
01:01:22,741 --> 01:01:25,578
what are the actual speeds on

2143
01:01:25,578 --> 01:01:29,178
roads with RFBs, not just the

2144
01:01:29,381 --> 01:01:31,381
posted speeds.

2145
01:01:31,750 --> 01:01:33,286
Do LPIs provide enough

2146
01:01:33,286 --> 01:01:35,621
protection, or do we need

2147
01:01:35,621 --> 01:01:37,756
pedestrian scrambles or no

2148
01:01:37,756 --> 01:01:39,791
turns when the walk button is

2149
01:01:39,791 --> 01:01:41,728
activated because the 3 seconds

2150
01:01:41,728 --> 01:01:42,495
that I get with the lpi gets me

2151
01:01:42,495 --> 01:01:43,997
right in the middle of the

2152
01:01:43,997 --> 01:01:46,733
intersection where they can hit

2153
01:01:46,733 --> 01:01:48,701
me from all directions.

2154
01:01:48,701 --> 01:01:50,970
Do flashing yellow light

2155
01:01:50,970 --> 01:01:51,670
signals help or only confuse

2156
01:01:51,670 --> 01:01:51,877
drivers.

2157
01:01:51,877 --> 01:01:53,106
There

2158
01:01:53,106 --> 01:01:55,474
s a lot of work to be

2159
01:01:55,474 --> 01:01:57,577
done. We have a plan with the

2160
01:01:57,577 --> 01:01:59,479
csap. We have the modal

2161
01:01:59,479 --> 01:02:02,149
alternatives project. I hope we

2162
01:02:02,149 --> 01:02:04,150
can be a little more methodical

2163
01:02:04,150 --> 01:02:06,519
and less arbitrary in our

2164
01:02:06,519 --> 01:02:08,550
approach. And lastly, I request

2165
01:02:08,550 --> 01:02:10,123
the next traffic engineer that

2166
01:02:10,123 --> 01:02:12,926
we hire, have it be someone who.

2167
01:02:12,926 --> 01:02:14,861
Knows about active

2168
01:02:14,861 --> 01:02:17,861
transportation and rides a bike.

2169
01:02:25,206 --> 01:02:25,461
Thank you.

2170
01:02:25,461 --> 01:02:27,461
I

2171
01:02:28,609 --> 01:02:30,978
m Connie Leslie and I live at

2172
01:02:30,978 --> 01:02:31,237
1892 Forestdale Drive, and I

2173
01:02:31,237 --> 01:02:32,946
m

2174
01:02:32,946 --> 01:02:35,315
here in reference to the

2175
01:02:35,315 --> 01:02:38,219
speeding cars on South Willow

2176
01:02:38,219 --> 01:02:40,555
Spring Road from Cyril Avenue

2177
01:02:40,555 --> 01:02:42,155
down to Encinitas Boulevard. I

2178
01:02:42,155 --> 01:02:42,390
do want to commend the

2179
01:02:42,390 --> 01:02:44,390
sheriff

2180
01:02:44,459 --> 01:02:46,393
s office. They did an

2181
01:02:46,393 --> 01:02:48,663
enormous effort to track

2182
01:02:48,663 --> 01:02:49,897
speeding cars last spring, and

2183
01:02:49,897 --> 01:02:51,666
there were a lot of people who

2184
01:02:51,666 --> 01:02:53,433
were very unhappy about the

2185
01:02:53,433 --> 01:02:55,136
tickets that they received. I

2186
01:02:55,136 --> 01:02:57,138
even have a sticker on my

2187
01:02:57,138 --> 01:02:58,640
Be on my speed dial that tells

2188
01:02:58,640 --> 01:03:00,408
me reminds me to drop down to

2189
01:03:00,408 --> 01:03:01,875
20 miles an hour, but people

2190
01:03:01,875 --> 01:03:03,875
forget.

2191
01:03:04,245 --> 01:03:06,214
And, um,

2192
01:03:06,214 --> 01:03:08,617
And I did speak with two of the

2193
01:03:08,617 --> 01:03:10,385
officers who were on the corner

2194
01:03:10,385 --> 01:03:11,820
of Orwell Avenue and Willow

2195
01:03:11,820 --> 01:03:13,922
Spring where they had set up

2196
01:03:13,922 --> 01:03:16,157
their stops, and I asked them,

2197
01:03:16,157 --> 01:03:19,160
why were they set up on Orwell,

2198
01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:20,795
because that was a flat surface

2199
01:03:20,795 --> 01:03:22,130
and cars coming in could

2200
01:03:22,130 --> 01:03:23,599
actually see the police

2201
01:03:23,599 --> 01:03:24,967
officers on the corner of the

2202
01:03:24,967 --> 01:03:27,803
road, and I said, the real

2203
01:03:27,803 --> 01:03:30,506
problem is over on Fairleigh

2204
01:03:30,506 --> 01:03:32,274
Avenue and down on Valleydale

2205
01:03:32,274 --> 01:03:34,760
Drive, where the road curves

2206
01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:34,809
and cars are speeding up, and

2207
01:03:34,809 --> 01:03:36,678
cars are.

2208
01:03:36,678 --> 01:03:38,614
Speeding going down, and the

2209
01:03:38,614 --> 01:03:40,649
officer said it was too

2210
01:03:40,649 --> 01:03:43,552
dangerous to set up a stop

2211
01:03:43,552 --> 01:03:45,921
there, so I think that speaks

2212
01:03:45,921 --> 01:03:46,989
for itself, um, so I

2213
01:03:46,989 --> 01:03:48,390
m here,

2214
01:03:48,390 --> 01:03:50,192
and, and I know the problem is

2215
01:03:50,192 --> 01:03:52,328
just going to get a lot worse

2216
01:03:52,328 --> 01:03:54,530
once the Goodson project goes

2217
01:03:54,530 --> 01:03:56,966
online, so, and that MAY be as

2218
01:03:56,966 --> 01:04:00,235
many as 300 more cars. So, uh,

2219
01:04:00,235 --> 01:04:01,971
I would like to see, and I know

2220
01:04:01,971 --> 01:04:04,371
that the emergency department

2221
01:04:04,407 --> 01:04:05,740
does not want speed tables or

2222
01:04:05,740 --> 01:04:05,874
speed bumps.

2223
01:04:05,874 --> 01:04:07,874
Uh,

2224
01:04:10,180 --> 01:04:11,614
They make over 200.

2225
01:04:11,614 --> 01:04:13,282
Uh drive-throughs every year

2226
01:04:13,282 --> 01:04:15,180
through that road, uh, many of

2227
01:04:15,180 --> 01:04:15,517
them come to my community

2228
01:04:15,517 --> 01:04:16,252
because we

2229
01:04:16,252 --> 01:04:16,786
re an elderly

2230
01:04:16,786 --> 01:04:17,987
community, so I don

2231
01:04:17,987 --> 01:04:19,987
t want them

2232
01:04:20,624 --> 01:04:22,325
to stop coming, but um, there

2233
01:04:22,325 --> 01:04:24,628
are other ways to deal with

2234
01:04:24,628 --> 01:04:27,664
this, and I would even consider

2235
01:04:27,664 --> 01:04:28,665
stop signs at Forestdale and at

2236
01:04:28,665 --> 01:04:30,670
Valleydale, I

2237
01:04:30,670 --> 01:04:31,334
d consider, uh,

2238
01:04:31,334 --> 01:04:33,734
speed tables, just anything

2239
01:04:33,836 --> 01:04:34,420
temporary for a while, and then

2240
01:04:34,420 --> 01:04:35,605
there

2241
01:04:35,605 --> 01:04:36,372
s just not enough signage,

2242
01:04:36,372 --> 01:04:37,740
they, there

2243
01:04:37,740 --> 01:04:39,209
s a sign saying 20

2244
01:04:39,209 --> 01:04:40,810
miles an hour when you

2245
01:04:40,810 --> 01:04:42,246
Turn on from Encinitas

2246
01:04:42,246 --> 01:04:42,613
Boulevard. And then there

2247
01:04:42,613 --> 01:04:44,613
s

2248
01:04:44,781 --> 01:04:46,316
another sign very close to 0,

2249
01:04:46,316 --> 01:04:47,184
but once you see that sign, you

2250
01:04:47,184 --> 01:04:47,684
forget, or maybe you don

2251
01:04:47,684 --> 01:04:49,684
t even

2252
01:04:49,919 --> 01:04:51,821
see it, and they just plow

2253
01:04:51,821 --> 01:04:54,224
right through, so, uh, I would

2254
01:04:54,224 --> 01:04:57,494
also like to see something with

2255
01:04:57,494 --> 01:04:59,130
a very large 20 mile an hour

2256
01:04:59,130 --> 01:05:00,665
painted on the hillside, coming

2257
01:05:00,665 --> 01:05:02,700
up that hill and going down

2258
01:05:02,700 --> 01:05:05,700
that hill, so people understand

2259
01:05:10,808 --> 01:05:12,710
that. So, thank you.

2260
01:05:12,710 --> 01:05:14,211
Good evening.

2261
01:05:14,211 --> 01:05:15,647
City council members. My name

2262
01:05:15,647 --> 01:05:19,170
is Dennis Caden in District one.

2263
01:05:19,170 --> 01:05:21,419
I want to, uh, take the time to

2264
01:05:21,419 --> 01:05:23,220
praise Encinitas here. I did

2265
01:05:23,220 --> 01:05:24,322
some comparisons on Hoboken, uh,

2266
01:05:24,322 --> 01:05:26,224
we already heard it

2267
01:05:26,224 --> 01:05:27,191
s a 1.3

2268
01:05:27,191 --> 01:05:28,727
square miles we

2269
01:05:28,727 --> 01:05:30,195
re 19.9 square

2270
01:05:30,195 --> 01:05:33,195
miles. Uh, Hoboken is called

2271
01:05:34,365 --> 01:05:37,535
the mile square City, um, they

2272
01:05:37,535 --> 01:05:39,935
have 28,000 units housing units

2273
01:05:40,906 --> 01:05:43,341
we have basically 24,000 of the

2274
01:05:43,341 --> 01:05:44,676
28,000. I found it interesting

2275
01:05:44,676 --> 01:05:46,711
they have less than 4.

2276
01:05:46,711 --> 01:05:48,711
400 single family.

2277
01:05:49,581 --> 01:05:51,830
Detached homes, so we have.

2278
01:05:51,830 --> 01:05:53,180
Just the opposite and we got

2279
01:05:53,180 --> 01:05:54,519
lots of neighborhoods with

2280
01:05:54,519 --> 01:05:55,870
people driving through and

2281
01:05:55,870 --> 01:05:56,255
stuff and that

2282
01:05:56,255 --> 01:05:58,655
s what makes it

2283
01:05:59,570 --> 01:06:01,159
such a special place, um, the

2284
01:06:01,159 --> 01:06:03,329
population per square mile is

2285
01:06:03,329 --> 01:06:03,502
45,000.

2286
01:06:03,502 --> 01:06:04,830
It

2287
01:06:04,830 --> 01:06:05,730
s the dense, it

2288
01:06:05,730 --> 01:06:07,233
s the most

2289
01:06:07,233 --> 01:06:09,233
densely, it

2290
01:06:09,368 --> 01:06:11,368
s the 4 densely

2291
01:06:14,600 --> 01:06:17,600
populated city in America where

2292
01:06:17,877 --> 01:06:20,277
3100 square miles, uh, persons

2293
01:06:20,947 --> 01:06:23,347
per household 2.02 versus r

2294
01:06:23,883 --> 01:06:26,520
2.54 and I noticed they have

2295
01:06:26,520 --> 01:06:28,354
persons over 65, we have almost

2296
01:06:28,354 --> 01:06:29,656
20% of our population loves

2297
01:06:29,656 --> 01:06:29,841
living here so much that they

2298
01:06:29,841 --> 01:06:31,841
don

2299
01:06:32,558 --> 01:06:34,727
t need to get out of a big

2300
01:06:34,727 --> 01:06:38,327
city and the number of streets.

2301
01:06:39,465 --> 01:06:39,665
Streets is 48 versus our 956.

2302
01:06:39,665 --> 01:06:40,833
That

2303
01:06:40,833 --> 01:06:42,969
s a lot of streets to try

2304
01:06:42,969 --> 01:06:44,537
to prevent, um, accidents and

2305
01:06:44,537 --> 01:06:45,305
things and I do believe most of

2306
01:06:45,305 --> 01:06:45,805
the accidents that we

2307
01:06:45,805 --> 01:06:47,540
ve had

2308
01:06:47,540 --> 01:06:49,910
right now is egregious as they

2309
01:06:49,910 --> 01:06:51,677
are, they were driver neglect

2310
01:06:51,677 --> 01:06:54,313
and, and that makes it even

2311
01:06:54,313 --> 01:06:54,491
worse.

2312
01:06:54,491 --> 01:06:56,183
We

2313
01:06:56,183 --> 01:06:57,117
re doing plenty like Vision

2314
01:06:57,117 --> 01:06:58,840
Zero here and I

2315
01:06:58,840 --> 01:06:59,553
m proud of what

2316
01:06:59,553 --> 01:07:01,880
the council has done. We have

2317
01:07:01,880 --> 01:07:03,156
something in Encinitas Hoboken

2318
01:07:03,156 --> 01:07:05,920
will never have.

2319
01:07:05,920 --> 01:07:06,727
On our circulation element and

2320
01:07:06,727 --> 01:07:08,228
John Eldon and I worked on it

2321
01:07:08,228 --> 01:07:10,264
when we first incorporated. We

2322
01:07:10,264 --> 01:07:11,965
have trails.

2323
01:07:11,965 --> 01:07:13,734
We have trails that have never

2324
01:07:13,734 --> 01:07:15,201
been prioritized on our

2325
01:07:15,201 --> 01:07:17,238
circulation element every time

2326
01:07:17,238 --> 01:07:18,380
we have a high density housing

2327
01:07:18,380 --> 01:07:18,739
element that there

2328
01:07:18,739 --> 01:07:19,540
s a trail to

2329
01:07:19,540 --> 01:07:20,340
go through. The trail gets

2330
01:07:20,340 --> 01:07:21,609
ignored.

2331
01:07:21,609 --> 01:07:23,100
And I think it

2332
01:07:23,100 --> 01:07:25,410
s time maybe we

2333
01:07:25,879 --> 01:07:28,449
could utilize the trails to get

2334
01:07:28,449 --> 01:07:28,782
bicycles off the main arterials

2335
01:07:28,782 --> 01:07:29,350
because they

2336
01:07:29,350 --> 01:07:30,718
re all gonna go to

2337
01:07:30,718 --> 01:07:33,688
the same place. Everybody wants

2338
01:07:33,688 --> 01:07:35,790
to get to the beach, so could

2339
01:07:35,790 --> 01:07:37,424
we please look into that.

2340
01:07:37,424 --> 01:07:38,659
Thank you very much. I love our

2341
01:07:38,659 --> 01:07:42,259
trails. I love our city. Thank

2342
01:07:43,865 --> 01:07:45,865
you.

2343
01:07:46,334 --> 01:07:47,368
Next 3 speakers, Karen Kan,

2344
01:07:47,368 --> 01:07:50,368

then Laura Grimmer.

2346
01:08:03,718 --> 01:08:04,619
Hi, I

2347
01:08:04,619 --> 01:08:04,860
m Karen Caden. I

2348
01:08:04,860 --> 01:08:06,755
m in

2349
01:08:06,755 --> 01:08:06,955
district one.

2350
01:08:06,955 --> 01:08:08,955
I

2351
01:08:11,360 --> 01:08:13,610
m the better half of Dennis I

2352
01:08:13,610 --> 01:08:14,429
wanna thank you guys for the

2353
01:08:14,429 --> 01:08:14,623
paving Lucchetti Boulevard. I

2354
01:08:14,623 --> 01:08:16,623
m

2355
01:08:17,498 --> 01:08:21,336
on there at least 6 times a day.

2356
01:08:21,336 --> 01:08:23,906
I also, um, and help improve

2357
01:08:23,906 --> 01:08:27,760
the uh Encinitas safe walk to

2358
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:29,760
Capri for um.

2359
01:08:29,511 --> 01:08:31,460
From uh uh Urania uh and

2360
01:08:31,460 --> 01:08:32,548
throughout Carter Street, an

2361
01:08:32,548 --> 01:08:34,183
area to protect our children

2362
01:08:34,183 --> 01:08:35,830
from windy roads, and it has

2363
01:08:35,830 --> 01:08:36,552
been working.

2364
01:08:36,552 --> 01:08:38,387
And I know you guys are gonna

2365
01:08:38,387 --> 01:08:40,322
be working on that too in your

2366
01:08:40,322 --> 01:08:41,924
program. I wanna thank you,

2367
01:08:41,924 --> 01:08:43,626
council for time, having a

2368
01:08:43,626 --> 01:08:45,394
special meeting today.

2369
01:08:45,394 --> 01:08:45,728
I also thank the sheriff

2370
01:08:45,728 --> 01:08:46,729
s

2371
01:08:46,729 --> 01:08:49,129
department. I was thinking

2372
01:08:49,432 --> 01:08:51,500
about what other people were

2373
01:08:51,500 --> 01:08:52,935
saying regards to um problems

2374
01:08:52,935 --> 01:08:53,336
in their neighborhood and other

2375
01:08:53,336 --> 01:08:54,700
places they

2376
01:08:54,700 --> 01:08:56,700
ve seen.

2377
01:08:56,773 --> 01:08:58,640
I think, you know, more

2378
01:08:58,640 --> 01:08:59,308
notification of traffic risk,

2379
01:08:59,308 --> 01:08:59,842
you know, to the sheriff

2380
01:08:59,842 --> 01:09:01,110
s

2381
01:09:01,110 --> 01:09:03,790
department or maybe they can

2382
01:09:03,790 --> 01:09:04,914
have another department to uh

2383
01:09:04,914 --> 01:09:06,382
pick up what problems are in

2384
01:09:06,382 --> 01:09:08,318
the city of Encinitas that can

2385
01:09:08,318 --> 01:09:10,220
refer to the tra the uh

2386
01:09:10,220 --> 01:09:13,590
sheriffs. I wanna share. I was

2387
01:09:13,590 --> 01:09:15,191
standing at a stop sign near

2388
01:09:15,191 --> 01:09:16,493
Capri School and a lot of

2389
01:09:16,493 --> 01:09:17,760
people going through the step

2390
01:09:17,760 --> 01:09:19,290
sign, and then one day a

2391
01:09:19,290 --> 01:09:21,264
sheriff showed up and stood

2392
01:09:21,264 --> 01:09:23,567
next to me, and every time they

2393
01:09:23,567 --> 01:09:24,334
saw the sheriff, they slammed

2394
01:09:24,334 --> 01:09:26,334
on.

2395
01:09:26,470 --> 01:09:29,873
The brakes, so I was thinking

2396
01:09:29,873 --> 01:09:32,543
about maybe having a cardboard

2397
01:09:32,543 --> 01:09:34,911
sheriff and staying there with

2398
01:09:34,911 --> 01:09:37,311
it. Ok, so, um.

2399
01:09:37,580 --> 01:09:39,783
As, as a community we should

2400
01:09:39,783 --> 01:09:41,783
show support.

2401
01:09:41,919 --> 01:09:45,519
Our council and city staff on

2402
01:09:45,556 --> 01:09:46,590
safe choices. I res I totally

2403
01:09:46,590 --> 01:09:48,590
respect the city

2404
01:09:48,893 --> 01:09:49,527
s framework of

2405
01:09:49,527 --> 01:09:51,527
the five e

2406
01:09:52,296 --> 01:09:53,763
s engineering, my My

2407
01:09:53,763 --> 01:09:55,763
favorite is education,

2408
01:09:56,433 --> 01:09:58,268
enforcement.

2409
01:09:58,268 --> 01:09:59,602
Engagement and evaluation

2410
01:09:59,602 --> 01:10:01,739
informed the sheriffs were, you

2411
01:10:01,739 --> 01:10:03,207
know, better results. I wanna

2412
01:10:03,207 --> 01:10:04,608
thanks for adding safer

2413
01:10:04,608 --> 01:10:07,800
improvements for our school

2414
01:10:07,578 --> 01:10:09,978
zones, more crossing guards,

2415
01:10:10,848 --> 01:10:12,717
safe rail crossings, improved

2416
01:10:12,717 --> 01:10:14,285
visibility for pedestrian

2417
01:10:14,285 --> 01:10:16,870
crossing and lowering speed

2418
01:10:16,870 --> 01:10:17,522
limits near schools. I want to

2419
01:10:17,522 --> 01:10:21,122
thank you so kindly for all

2420
01:10:27,232 --> 01:10:29,232
your work.

2421
01:10:29,668 --> 01:10:30,902
Last year at this time, Council

2422
01:10:30,902 --> 01:10:32,137
member Lyons proposed a

2423
01:10:32,137 --> 01:10:33,438
resolution.

2424
01:10:33,438 --> 01:10:34,372
The operative part was so

2425
01:10:34,372 --> 01:10:36,372
simple.

2426
01:10:36,441 --> 01:10:38,343
That I can read it out.

2427
01:10:38,343 --> 01:10:40,513
Quote, and it was a resolved

2428
01:10:40,513 --> 01:10:42,800
that the city of Encinitas

2429
01:10:42,800 --> 01:10:43,281
acknowledges long-standing

2430
01:10:43,281 --> 01:10:45,117
community support for traffic

2431
01:10:45,117 --> 01:10:46,218
calming, ratifies continued

2432
01:10:46,218 --> 01:10:48,120
city support for traffic

2433
01:10:48,120 --> 01:10:49,721
calming in Encinitas and will

2434
01:10:49,721 --> 01:10:51,423
continue to strive to improve

2435
01:10:51,423 --> 01:10:53,158
and support traffic calming and

2436
01:10:53,158 --> 01:10:54,590
traffic calming policies in

2437
01:10:54,590 --> 01:10:55,860
Encinitas.

2438
01:10:55,860 --> 01:10:56,195
She moved to approve.

2439
01:10:56,195 --> 01:10:57,963
And it didn

2440
01:10:57,963 --> 01:10:59,564
t even get a vote.

2441
01:10:59,564 --> 01:11:01,734
Not one of the rest of you

2442
01:11:01,734 --> 01:11:04,134
would second the motion.

2443
01:11:04,236 --> 01:11:06,305
One of you was just vehemently

2444
01:11:06,305 --> 01:11:07,573
opposed. You chose to interpret

2445
01:11:07,573 --> 01:11:09,573
this general pro-calming

2446
01:11:09,709 --> 01:11:11,344
language as an attack on one or

2447
01:11:11,344 --> 01:11:12,544
more of your pet projects. One

2448
01:11:12,544 --> 01:11:13,880
of you tried to have it both

2449
01:11:13,880 --> 01:11:14,610
ways. You said you wouldn

2450
01:11:14,610 --> 01:11:14,947
t

2451
01:11:14,947 --> 01:11:15,117
oppose the motion. You didn

2452
01:11:15,117 --> 01:11:16,181
t

2453
01:11:16,181 --> 01:11:17,617
support it either.

2454
01:11:17,617 --> 01:11:20,530
One of you had nothing to say

2455
01:11:20,530 --> 01:11:21,220
on the issue at all. Pretty

2456
01:11:21,220 --> 01:11:22,321
remarkable considering a child

2457
01:11:22,321 --> 01:11:24,321
had just died.

2458
01:11:24,890 --> 01:11:27,360
One of you at least engaged

2459
01:11:27,360 --> 01:11:28,927
constructively with the problem.

2460
01:11:28,927 --> 01:11:30,927
Council member Schaeffer

2461
01:11:30,964 --> 01:11:32,332
proposed a citywide traffic

2462
01:11:32,332 --> 01:11:33,320
study to identify specific

2463
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:35,320
problems.

2464
01:11:35,235 --> 01:11:37,270
He tried to move agendaizing it

2465
01:11:37,270 --> 01:11:39,706
for a future meeting. The chair

2466
01:11:39,706 --> 01:11:40,873
asked that he hold the motion,

2467
01:11:40,873 --> 01:11:42,750
but then the council never got

2468
01:11:42,750 --> 01:11:44,110
back to it after the original

2469
01:11:44,110 --> 01:11:46,110
motion failed.

2470
01:11:47,513 --> 01:11:48,148
I looked for any other mention

2471
01:11:48,148 --> 01:11:49,316
of COUNCILMAN Schaeffer

2472
01:11:49,316 --> 01:11:51,500
s ideas

2473
01:11:51,500 --> 01:11:53,860
at Futures meeting, and I found

2474
01:11:53,860 --> 01:11:55,122
a statement a few weeks later

2475
01:11:55,122 --> 01:11:57,900
that he was discussing it with

2476
01:11:57,900 --> 01:11:59,260
staff, but nothing else. No

2477
01:11:59,260 --> 01:11:59,259
such study is listed in

2478
01:11:59,259 --> 01:12:01,259
tonight

2479
01:12:01,662 --> 01:12:03,662
s staff report.

2480
01:12:03,697 --> 01:12:06,970
Everyone talks about safety,

2481
01:12:06,166 --> 01:12:08,602
especially after a tragedy, but

2482
01:12:08,602 --> 01:12:10,403
actions matter more than words.

2483
01:12:10,403 --> 01:12:12,106
When you put safety projects

2484
01:12:12,106 --> 01:12:13,740
with planned road diets on your

2485
01:12:13,740 --> 01:12:15,408
list of accomplishments, but

2486
01:12:15,408 --> 01:12:16,377
the record shows you took out

2487
01:12:16,377 --> 01:12:17,678
the road diets when you

2488
01:12:17,678 --> 01:12:18,790
approved them.

2489
01:12:18,790 --> 01:12:18,445
Your actions don

2490
01:12:18,445 --> 01:12:19,513
t match your

2491
01:12:19,513 --> 01:12:20,180
words.

2492
01:12:20,180 --> 01:12:21,115
When there

2493
01:12:21,115 --> 01:12:22,849
s a good idea for a

2494
01:12:22,849 --> 01:12:23,280
traffic study, but it can

2495
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,280
t

2496
01:12:25,786 --> 01:12:26,820
even get agenda.

2497
01:12:26,820 --> 01:12:27,521
Your actions don

2498
01:12:27,521 --> 01:12:29,223
t match your

2499
01:12:29,223 --> 01:12:32,260
words. And when you task the

2500
01:12:32,260 --> 01:12:34,195
mtsc with reporting on ways to

2501
01:12:34,195 --> 01:12:36,595
eliminate or minimize traffic

2502
01:12:36,831 --> 01:12:38,365
deaths, unquote. And the mtsc

2503
01:12:38,365 --> 01:12:40,100
year-end report includes no

2504
01:12:40,100 --> 01:12:41,703
specific action under that work

2505
01:12:41,703 --> 01:12:42,270
item, and then they take it out

2506
01:12:42,270 --> 01:12:44,205
of the next year

2507
01:12:44,205 --> 01:12:46,205
s.

2508
01:12:46,574 --> 01:12:46,908
Work items. Your actions aren

2509
01:12:46,908 --> 01:12:48,609
t

2510
01:12:48,609 --> 01:12:48,791
matching your words.

2511
01:12:48,791 --> 01:12:50,791
It

2512
01:12:51,246 --> 01:12:53,515
s past time for real action

2513
01:12:53,515 --> 01:12:54,349
to slow traffic and actually

2514
01:12:54,349 --> 01:12:54,950
improve safety. We

2515
01:12:54,950 --> 01:12:56,950
re spending

2516
01:12:57,218 --> 01:12:58,320
$15 million a year or $15

2517
01:12:58,320 --> 01:13:01,189
million over the past 3 years

2518
01:13:01,189 --> 01:13:03,910
to repave roads. Great. Repaved

2519
01:13:03,910 --> 01:13:04,393
roads do not actually slow

2520
01:13:04,393 --> 01:13:05,760
traffic. If anything to the

2521
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:07,696
contrary.

2522
01:13:07,696 --> 01:13:09,130
How about things that actually

2523
01:13:09,130 --> 01:13:10,399
slow traffic and actually

2524
01:13:10,399 --> 01:13:11,500
improve safety. I hope we hear

2525
01:13:11,500 --> 01:13:13,900
something about that tonight.

2526
01:13:22,678 --> 01:13:24,678
Thank you.

2527
01:13:24,813 --> 01:13:26,682
Good evening, Mayor Ehler, City

2528
01:13:26,682 --> 01:13:27,716
Council.

2529
01:13:27,716 --> 01:13:28,617
My name is Laura Grimmer. I

2530
01:13:28,617 --> 01:13:30,617
m a

2531
01:13:30,720 --> 01:13:32,489
founding member of Safe Streets

2532
01:13:32,489 --> 01:13:33,155
Encinitas, uh, first, a big

2533
01:13:33,155 --> 01:13:33,922
thank you to the sheriff

2534
01:13:33,922 --> 01:13:35,390
s

2535
01:13:35,390 --> 01:13:37,260
department, your presence in

2536
01:13:37,260 --> 01:13:37,960
our community is impactful and

2537
01:13:37,960 --> 01:13:38,427
based on the data you

2538
01:13:38,427 --> 01:13:39,428
ve shared,

2539
01:13:39,428 --> 01:13:41,970
it appears that things are

2540
01:13:41,970 --> 01:13:42,931
moving in the right direction.

2541
01:13:42,931 --> 01:13:43,633
We recognize the enormous

2542
01:13:43,633 --> 01:13:44,990
responsibility you

2543
01:13:44,990 --> 01:13:45,267
re carrying

2544
01:13:45,267 --> 01:13:45,501
right now.

2545
01:13:45,501 --> 01:13:46,803
And we

2546
01:13:46,803 --> 01:13:48,170
re encouraged that the

2547
01:13:48,170 --> 01:13:50,306
council will be discussing red

2548
01:13:50,306 --> 01:13:52,775
light cameras on SEPTEMBER 9th.

2549
01:13:52,775 --> 01:13:53,776
Additional tools can provide

2550
01:13:53,776 --> 01:13:55,144
much-needed support and

2551
01:13:55,144 --> 01:13:56,546
importantly, help keep our

2552
01:13:56,546 --> 01:13:58,546
deputies safer.

2553
01:13:58,948 --> 01:14:00,249
In the meantime, thank you for

2554
01:14:00,249 --> 01:14:01,818
continuing this difficult work.

2555
01:14:01,818 --> 01:14:03,252
And another big thank you to

2556
01:14:03,252 --> 01:14:05,256
staff. Your report was

2557
01:14:05,256 --> 01:14:06,756
informative, and we appreciate

2558
01:14:06,756 --> 01:14:08,224
the transparency in both the

2559
01:14:08,224 --> 01:14:10,224
process and execution.

2560
01:14:11,940 --> 01:14:13,764
We would love to ask to see

2561
01:14:13,764 --> 01:14:15,632
more regularly more regular

2562
01:14:15,632 --> 01:14:17,500
reports to continue to increase

2563
01:14:17,500 --> 01:14:18,680
transparency and accountability.

2564
01:14:18,680 --> 01:14:18,635
We hear what you

2565
01:14:18,635 --> 01:14:19,836
re saying and

2566
01:14:19,836 --> 01:14:20,703
we appreciate the progress that

2567
01:14:20,703 --> 01:14:22,538
is being made.

2568
01:14:22,538 --> 01:14:23,140
And we ask that you all hear us

2569
01:14:23,140 --> 01:14:25,108
too.

2570
01:14:25,108 --> 01:14:26,844
We know the city has projects

2571
01:14:26,844 --> 01:14:28,846
underway, but we need to ask an

2572
01:14:28,846 --> 01:14:30,140
important question.

2573
01:14:30,140 --> 01:14:31,481
Are these projects addressing

2574
01:14:31,481 --> 01:14:34,184
the places and conditions where

2575
01:14:34,184 --> 01:14:36,184
fatalities are occurring.

2576
01:14:36,320 --> 01:14:37,555
Repaving a road is important

2577
01:14:37,555 --> 01:14:39,523
maintenance, but by itself is

2578
01:14:39,523 --> 01:14:41,923
not a safety strategy.

2579
01:14:41,926 --> 01:14:43,594
If we have an opportunity to

2580
01:14:43,594 --> 01:14:45,229
improve safety as part of a

2581
01:14:45,229 --> 01:14:47,198
project, we should take it.

2582
01:14:47,198 --> 01:14:48,633
Every project that moves

2583
01:14:48,633 --> 01:14:50,268
forward without a meaningful

2584
01:14:50,268 --> 01:14:51,468
safety review.

2585
01:14:51,468 --> 01:14:53,704
Maybe a missed opportunity to

2586
01:14:53,704 --> 01:14:55,907
prevent the next serious crash

2587
01:14:55,907 --> 01:14:57,875
or the next fatality.

2588
01:14:57,875 --> 01:14:59,644
We all know the number of

2589
01:14:59,644 --> 01:15:01,611
vehicles on our roads is

2590
01:15:01,611 --> 01:15:03,480
continuing to grow rapidly.

2591
01:15:03,480 --> 01:15:04,916
We need to get ahead of that

2592
01:15:04,916 --> 01:15:05,950
growth. We need to identify

2593
01:15:05,950 --> 01:15:07,950
risks.

2594
01:15:09,820 --> 01:15:10,822
And act on them before another

2595
01:15:10,822 --> 01:15:12,822
family experiences the

2596
01:15:13,158 --> 01:15:14,592
unimaginable loss of a loved

2597
01:15:14,592 --> 01:15:16,460
one.

2598
01:15:16,460 --> 01:15:17,696
Or before another child is

2599
01:15:17,696 --> 01:15:20,365
involved in a life changing

2600
01:15:20,365 --> 01:15:20,550
crash.

2601
01:15:20,550 --> 01:15:22,400
We

2602
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:24,102
ve heard calls to return

2603
01:15:24,102 --> 01:15:24,669
teaching kids to stop, look and

2604
01:15:24,669 --> 01:15:26,271
listen.

2605
01:15:26,271 --> 01:15:28,271
Well,

2606
01:15:28,339 --> 01:15:29,674
I ask you, let

2607
01:15:29,674 --> 01:15:30,341
s stop blaming

2608
01:15:30,341 --> 01:15:31,643
the kids. Let

2609
01:15:31,643 --> 01:15:33,178
s look at the

2610
01:15:33,178 --> 01:15:34,679
infrastructure, look at the

2611
01:15:34,679 --> 01:15:35,914
intersections, look at the

2612
01:15:35,914 --> 01:15:37,849
conditions that MAY be

2613
01:15:37,849 --> 01:15:38,984
contributing to these crashes.

2614
01:15:38,984 --> 01:15:40,486
And most importantly, and I

2615
01:15:40,486 --> 01:15:41,754
thank you for tonight, Listen

2616
01:15:41,754 --> 01:15:45,390
to the people who live here and

2617
01:15:45,390 --> 01:15:45,623
use these roads every day.

2618
01:15:45,623 --> 01:15:46,825
We don

2619
01:15:46,825 --> 01:15:48,360
t have to agree on

2620
01:15:48,360 --> 01:15:50,396
everything, but we do need to

2621
01:15:50,396 --> 01:15:51,397
respect one another and work

2622
01:15:51,397 --> 01:15:53,199
together to do what is right

2623
01:15:53,199 --> 01:15:54,666
for our city.

2624
01:15:54,666 --> 01:15:56,301
The solutions we develop need

2625
01:15:56,301 --> 01:15:58,700
to be effective across all

2626
01:15:58,700 --> 01:16:00,380
viewpoints. They need to be

2627
01:16:00,380 --> 01:16:01,474
maintained across changes in

2628
01:16:01,474 --> 01:16:03,442
city leadership, and ultimately

2629
01:16:03,442 --> 01:16:04,610
needs to make, make our streets

2630
01:16:04,610 --> 01:16:05,277
safer for everyone. Um, I

2631
01:16:05,277 --> 01:16:07,246
m

2632
01:16:07,246 --> 01:16:08,213
running out of time, so I will

2633
01:16:08,213 --> 01:16:08,648
just say, um, as we

2634
01:16:08,648 --> 01:16:10,182
ve heard,

2635
01:16:10,182 --> 01:16:12,850
our kids are being struck and

2636
01:16:12,850 --> 01:16:13,152
killed in crosswalks.

2637
01:16:13,152 --> 01:16:13,330
This is ucceptable. We

2638
01:16:13,330 --> 01:16:15,330
re

2639
01:16:15,488 --> 01:16:16,889
asking, can the city

2640
01:16:16,889 --> 01:16:18,240
temporarily shift some

2641
01:16:18,240 --> 01:16:19,559
priorities and resources

2642
01:16:19,559 --> 01:16:21,327
towards the areas where the

2643
01:16:21,327 --> 01:16:23,727
greatest safety concerns exist.

2644
01:16:29,836 --> 01:16:31,804
Thank you.

2645
01:16:31,804 --> 01:16:33,373
Final Four speakers, Ellen Burr,

2646
01:16:33,373 --> 01:16:34,808
followed by Dave Dean, then

2647
01:16:34,808 --> 01:16:37,208
Sheila Cameron, and then

2648
01:16:50,790 --> 01:16:52,291
Caitlin Despain.

2649
01:16:52,291 --> 01:16:53,560
That was about the same

2650
01:16:53,560 --> 01:16:55,829
distance as a crosswalk that I

2651
01:16:55,829 --> 01:16:56,430
just walked down here.

2652
01:16:56,430 --> 01:16:58,430
I don

2653
01:16:59,732 --> 01:17:01,680
t use a cane yet or a

2654
01:17:01,680 --> 01:17:01,769
walker yet, but that

2655
01:17:01,769 --> 01:17:03,370
s pretty

2656
01:17:03,370 --> 01:17:05,370
fast.

2657
01:17:06,907 --> 01:17:09,410
And I just wanna make sure that

2658
01:17:09,410 --> 01:17:09,643
we are double checking that.

2659
01:17:09,643 --> 01:17:10,678
I don

2660
01:17:10,678 --> 01:17:11,450
t know whether it

2661
01:17:11,450 --> 01:17:13,450
s

2662
01:17:13,914 --> 01:17:15,683
pedestrian leading intervals or

2663
01:17:15,683 --> 01:17:17,551
leading pedestrian intervals

2664
01:17:17,551 --> 01:17:21,751
should be easy to do to make

2665
01:17:22,230 --> 01:17:23,590
sure that they are as long as

2666
01:17:23,590 --> 01:17:25,590
possible because.

2667
01:17:26,728 --> 01:17:28,663
People, 40% of our city

2668
01:17:28,663 --> 01:17:30,932
probably is under the 5 or

2669
01:17:30,932 --> 01:17:33,000
under or over the age of 60

2670
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:34,134
plus a number who are

2671
01:17:34,134 --> 01:17:35,470
handicapped, not everybody

2672
01:17:35,470 --> 01:17:37,380
rides a bike, Judy, I wish I

2673
01:17:37,380 --> 01:17:39,380
could.

2674
01:17:40,800 --> 01:17:42,444
Uh, so I think we need to focus

2675
01:17:42,444 --> 01:17:44,444
more on pedestrians.

2676
01:17:44,913 --> 01:17:47,115
And make sure that the

2677
01:17:47,115 --> 01:17:49,160
crosswalks and the bike lanes

2678
01:17:49,160 --> 01:17:49,250
are safe, so that means if it

2679
01:17:49,250 --> 01:17:51,250
s

2680
01:17:51,752 --> 01:17:51,958
gonna be paved next week, don

2681
01:17:51,958 --> 01:17:53,958
t

2682
01:17:54,189 --> 01:17:54,368
do it now, but there shouldn

2683
01:17:54,368 --> 01:17:56,368
t

2684
01:17:58,359 --> 01:18:00,762
be any cracks, any divots, any

2685
01:18:00,762 --> 01:18:03,665
potholes, anything that a bike

2686
01:18:03,665 --> 01:18:06,568
tire is gonna hit or an old

2687
01:18:06,568 --> 01:18:08,237
person or a young person is

2688
01:18:08,237 --> 01:18:09,838
gonna stumble over just we

2689
01:18:09,838 --> 01:18:11,373
could do some really easy

2690
01:18:11,373 --> 01:18:12,508
things I think that might make

2691
01:18:12,508 --> 01:18:13,174
a difference.

2692
01:18:13,174 --> 01:18:13,975
And I don

2693
01:18:13,975 --> 01:18:15,410
t want to be

2694
01:18:15,410 --> 01:18:18,147
crucified again for stop look

2695
01:18:18,147 --> 01:18:22,217
and listen, but I do think we

2696
01:18:22,217 --> 01:18:24,217
need to emphasize.

2697
01:18:24,820 --> 01:18:27,623
Awareness on every level and uh

2698
01:18:27,623 --> 01:18:29,692
i can write a check for.

2699
01:18:29,692 --> 01:18:30,659
Something to be produced if you

2700
01:18:30,659 --> 01:18:31,994
want me to.

2701
01:18:31,994 --> 01:18:32,294
Um,

2702
01:18:32,294 --> 01:18:33,195
Yeah, that

2703
01:18:33,195 --> 01:18:35,195
s it thanks.

2704
01:18:41,536 --> 01:18:43,439
Thank you.

2705
01:18:43,439 --> 01:18:45,441
Council, Mayor, staff, good

2706
01:18:45,441 --> 01:18:45,641
evening, Dave Dean. First, I

2707
01:18:45,641 --> 01:18:47,641
d

2708
01:18:49,978 --> 01:18:52,348
like to start off by thanking

2709
01:18:52,348 --> 01:18:53,816
the staff last Wednesday when I

2710
01:18:53,816 --> 01:18:56,152
spoke at City council about a

2711
01:18:56,152 --> 01:18:56,586
dangerous sign on b and 3rd.

2712
01:18:56,586 --> 01:18:57,920
By 9 o

2713
01:18:57,920 --> 01:18:59,889
clock the next morning,

2714
01:18:59,889 --> 01:19:01,558
it was removed in the crosswalk

2715
01:19:01,558 --> 01:19:02,692
was safe, so thank you for

2716
01:19:02,692 --> 01:19:04,560
listening. Thank you for

2717
01:19:04,560 --> 01:19:05,595
responding.

2718
01:19:05,595 --> 01:19:06,997
Next thing I

2719
01:19:06,997 --> 01:19:09,397
d like to suggest

2720
01:19:09,400 --> 01:19:11,102
is a safety sign, um, down on

2721
01:19:11,102 --> 01:19:14,102
Coast Highway, similar to one

2722
01:19:14,204 --> 01:19:16,573
they have in Del Mar, saying

2723
01:19:16,573 --> 01:19:17,808
bicycle enforcement zone.

2724
01:19:17,808 --> 01:19:18,441
In the last two days I

2725
01:19:18,441 --> 01:19:20,770
ve

2726
01:19:20,770 --> 01:19:21,445
watched over 10 bicyclists

2727
01:19:21,445 --> 01:19:23,780
going down Coast Highway

2728
01:19:23,780 --> 01:19:25,549
running red lights.

2729
01:19:25,549 --> 01:19:27,549
Exceptionally dangerous. 2 days

2730
01:19:27,851 --> 01:19:28,886
in a row, multiple red lights

2731
01:19:28,886 --> 01:19:30,886
run.

2732
01:19:31,355 --> 01:19:31,532
Final suggestion.

2733
01:19:31,532 --> 01:19:33,532
Let

2734
01:19:34,725 --> 01:19:36,626
s up our game and go with

2735
01:19:36,626 --> 01:19:39,260
making Encinitas the safest

2736
01:19:39,463 --> 01:19:41,463
city in America.

2737
01:19:41,966 --> 01:19:42,566
Speed kills, lower the speed

2738
01:19:42,566 --> 01:19:43,834
limit. I

2739
01:19:43,834 --> 01:19:46,170
m in favor of a

2740
01:19:46,170 --> 01:19:48,472
maximum speed limit of 25 miles

2741
01:19:48,472 --> 01:19:50,875
an hour in the entire city.

2742
01:19:50,875 --> 01:19:52,844
If it takes 10 minutes longer

2743
01:19:52,844 --> 01:19:54,378
to get across the city and

2744
01:19:54,378 --> 01:19:55,213
saves a life, who

2745
01:19:55,213 --> 01:19:56,980
s 10 minutes

2746
01:19:56,980 --> 01:19:58,416
is more important than saving a

2747
01:19:58,416 --> 01:19:58,614
life.

2748
01:19:58,614 --> 01:19:59,950
Let

2749
01:19:59,950 --> 01:20:00,417
s make it safe. Let

2750
01:20:00,417 --> 01:20:02,417
s lower

2751
01:20:13,697 --> 01:20:15,700
the speed limits. Thank you.

2752
01:20:15,700 --> 01:20:18,403
Good evening, Mayor and council,

2753
01:20:18,403 --> 01:20:20,403
Sheila Cameron.

2754
01:20:20,906 --> 01:20:22,274
A few years years ago, a

2755
01:20:22,274 --> 01:20:25,274
national park at a national

2756
01:20:25,410 --> 01:20:26,744
park, 3 young people died after

2757
01:20:26,744 --> 01:20:28,480
having been swept over a

2758
01:20:28,480 --> 01:20:30,449
waterfall.

2759
01:20:30,449 --> 01:20:31,583
Although plenty of signs were

2760
01:20:31,583 --> 01:20:31,850
already posted nearby. Don

2761
01:20:31,850 --> 01:20:33,385
t go

2762
01:20:33,385 --> 01:20:35,187
near the water, etc. They went

2763
01:20:35,187 --> 01:20:37,122
in anyway.

2764
01:20:37,122 --> 01:20:39,900
When the ranger was interviewed

2765
01:20:39,900 --> 01:20:40,659
by a concerned citizens, his

2766
01:20:40,659 --> 01:20:41,626
reply.

2767
01:20:41,626 --> 01:20:42,595
One thing I

2768
01:20:42,595 --> 01:20:44,595
ve learned after

2769
01:20:44,997 --> 01:20:47,466
over 30 years here in the park

2770
01:20:47,466 --> 01:20:48,200
is that you can

2771
01:20:48,200 --> 01:20:50,200
t protect

2772
01:20:50,502 --> 01:20:52,502
people from themselves.

2773
01:20:53,205 --> 01:20:55,608
We can believe and demand.

2774
01:20:55,608 --> 01:20:57,677
The other fixed things for us.

2775
01:20:57,677 --> 01:20:59,511
The other in this case being

2776
01:20:59,511 --> 01:21:01,140
our city government, however,

2777
01:21:01,140 --> 01:21:03,315
maybe what we should be doing

2778
01:21:03,315 --> 01:21:04,917
is standing in front of the

2779
01:21:04,917 --> 01:21:06,486
mirror and asking ourselves

2780
01:21:06,486 --> 01:21:08,486
some questions.

2781
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,422
Do we sometimes tend to drive

2782
01:21:10,422 --> 01:21:12,791
too fast, drive 10 to 20 miles

2783
01:21:12,791 --> 01:21:14,727
or more over the speed limit.

2784
01:21:14,727 --> 01:21:16,896
Have you pulled out from a

2785
01:21:16,896 --> 01:21:18,898
right-hand turn when we see

2786
01:21:18,898 --> 01:21:19,932
cars coming, but pull out

2787
01:21:19,932 --> 01:21:21,932
anyway.

2788
01:21:22,501 --> 01:21:24,904
Do we approach a yellow traffic

2789
01:21:24,904 --> 01:21:27,707
light and instead of slowing to

2790
01:21:27,707 --> 01:21:28,975
a stop, gun the gas and push

2791
01:21:28,975 --> 01:21:30,210
right through. Just saw that

2792
01:21:30,210 --> 01:21:32,210
two days ago.

2793
01:21:34,347 --> 01:21:36,416
Even when the light is red

2794
01:21:36,416 --> 01:21:38,685
This city government cannot

2795
01:21:38,685 --> 01:21:41,555
protect us from ourselves. It

2796
01:21:41,555 --> 01:21:43,190
is not their responsibility. We

2797
01:21:43,190 --> 01:21:43,356
are humans and individuals.

2798
01:21:43,356 --> 01:21:44,925
We

2799
01:21:44,925 --> 01:21:46,827
ve been given an abundance

2800
01:21:46,827 --> 01:21:48,295
of rules and physical

2801
01:21:48,295 --> 01:21:49,797
considerations to protect our

2802
01:21:49,797 --> 01:21:51,231
health and safety and the

2803
01:21:51,231 --> 01:21:51,598
safety of others when we

2804
01:21:51,598 --> 01:21:53,598
re

2805
01:21:54,670 --> 01:21:57,670
driving. What happens when we

2806
01:21:57,805 --> 01:22:00,205
get into these 2000 or 3000

2807
01:22:00,307 --> 01:22:01,909
pound automobiles are cocoons.

2808
01:22:01,909 --> 01:22:04,309
Their killing machines, while

2809
01:22:04,378 --> 01:22:07,948
in our cars, we have a sense of

2810
01:22:07,948 --> 01:22:09,884
entitlement only for ourselves.

2811
01:22:09,884 --> 01:22:11,819
Where and how did we learn to

2812
01:22:11,819 --> 01:22:14,655
drive? Was something missing in

2813
01:22:14,655 --> 01:22:16,590
our training, a moral compass

2814
01:22:16,590 --> 01:22:18,590
perhaps. Do we pass on bad

2815
01:22:18,590 --> 01:22:20,270
habits and indifference for

2816
01:22:20,270 --> 01:22:21,996
safety and rules of the road to

2817
01:22:21,996 --> 01:22:22,431
our children, so now we

2818
01:22:22,431 --> 01:22:24,399
re our

2819
01:22:24,399 --> 01:22:26,300
children. Our children are on

2820
01:22:26,300 --> 01:22:28,169
motorbikes and e-bikes, a

2821
01:22:28,169 --> 01:22:30,569
convenience for parents and

2822
01:22:31,380 --> 01:22:32,407
other concern and fearful

2823
01:22:32,407 --> 01:22:34,175
distraction from motorists

2824
01:22:34,175 --> 01:22:36,110
children are young, too

2825
01:22:36,110 --> 01:22:38,110
precious, too uninformed.

2826
01:22:39,948 --> 01:22:41,616
Uh, are the stats for accidents,

2827
01:22:41,616 --> 01:22:42,883
a generational phenomenon. They

2828
01:22:42,883 --> 01:22:43,150
are.

2829
01:22:43,150 --> 01:22:44,920
And I

2830
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:45,386
ve put here, I

2831
01:22:45,386 --> 01:22:47,386
ve had 3

2832
01:22:47,722 --> 01:22:50,722
accidents the last 6 years, not

2833
01:22:52,127 --> 01:22:53,795
my fault, 1825, 26 year olds,

2834
01:22:53,795 --> 01:22:54,997
and the last guy said to me,

2835
01:22:54,997 --> 01:22:56,365
Well, I saw you coming, but I

2836
01:22:56,365 --> 01:22:57,933
pulled out because I thought I

2837
01:22:57,933 --> 01:22:58,734
had more time, so I

2838
01:22:58,734 --> 01:23:00,636
m asking

2839
01:23:00,636 --> 01:23:03,105
you time the culprit? Are we

2840
01:23:03,105 --> 01:23:04,573
too much in a hurry, too

2841
01:23:04,573 --> 01:23:06,973
stressed, running late, trying

2842
01:23:07,420 --> 01:23:10,612
to do too much. If we think and

2843
01:23:10,612 --> 01:23:11,280
slow down, can we save us from

2844
01:23:11,280 --> 01:23:12,800
ourselves. That

2845
01:23:12,800 --> 01:23:12,480
s a start.

2846
01:23:12,480 --> 01:23:14,480
Thank you.

2847
01:23:22,258 --> 01:23:23,795
Thank you.

2848
01:23:23,795 --> 01:23:27,960
Good evening. Uh, my name is

2849
01:23:27,960 --> 01:23:29,640
Caitlin De Spain. I am a local

2850
01:23:29,640 --> 01:23:30,900
parent to an elementary and

2851
01:23:30,900 --> 01:23:32,835
middle school student, and we

2852
01:23:32,835 --> 01:23:33,636
bought a home here 12 years ago,

2853
01:23:33,636 --> 01:23:35,738
strictly in the neighborhood

2854
01:23:35,738 --> 01:23:37,542
that we knew we could walk our

2855
01:23:37,542 --> 01:23:38,608
kids to, and I still enjoy

2856
01:23:38,608 --> 01:23:40,343
doing that every day.

2857
01:23:40,343 --> 01:23:42,343
Um,

2858
01:23:43,713 --> 01:23:44,247
One of the things that concerns

2859
01:23:44,247 --> 01:23:45,180
me and why I

2860
01:23:45,180 --> 01:23:47,830
ve gotten the

2861
01:23:47,830 --> 01:23:47,617
courage to speak here tonight

2862
01:23:47,617 --> 01:23:48,150
is that I

2863
01:23:48,150 --> 01:23:49,919
m really concerned

2864
01:23:49,919 --> 01:23:51,420
about the speed of our drivers

2865
01:23:51,420 --> 01:23:53,822
in the community throughout. I

2866
01:23:53,822 --> 01:23:55,291
travel up and down El Camino

2867
01:23:55,291 --> 01:23:57,194
Real, multiple times a day,

2868
01:23:57,194 --> 01:23:58,260
driving my kids around to their

2869
01:23:58,260 --> 01:23:59,162
activities. And if I

2870
01:23:59,162 --> 01:24:01,162
m driving,

2871
01:24:01,998 --> 01:24:04,634
the posted 30, 35 mile per hour

2872
01:24:04,634 --> 01:24:05,802
speed limit. Cars are whizzing

2873
01:24:05,802 --> 01:24:06,360
around me, frustrated at me

2874
01:24:06,360 --> 01:24:07,304
that I

2875
01:24:07,304 --> 01:24:09,600
m going so slow.

2876
01:24:09,600 --> 01:24:09,239
So

2877
01:24:09,239 --> 01:24:11,239
I don

2878
01:24:12,810 --> 01:24:14,810
t think that

2879
01:24:16,345 --> 01:24:16,814
Posting a lower speed limit.

2880
01:24:16,814 --> 01:24:17,648
Will change drivers

2881
01:24:17,648 --> 01:24:19,283
behavior.

2882
01:24:19,283 --> 01:24:21,584
I think we need to hear more as

2883
01:24:21,584 --> 01:24:22,186
a community, what the plans are

2884
01:24:22,186 --> 01:24:24,186
to

2885
01:24:24,254 --> 01:24:26,654
Do more than that.

2886
01:24:27,791 --> 01:24:30,191
I do think that.

2887
01:24:31,796 --> 01:24:33,970
We need to know more about how

2888
01:24:33,970 --> 01:24:33,364
you are going to save our

2889
01:24:33,364 --> 01:24:34,398
children

2890
01:24:34,398 --> 01:24:37,134
s lives and make the

2891
01:24:37,134 --> 01:24:39,534
city safe for them.

2892
01:24:39,603 --> 01:24:41,400
And I need to know, how can we

2893
01:24:41,400 --> 01:24:42,206
make not losing another life a

2894
01:24:42,206 --> 01:24:44,206
top priority here.

2895
01:24:46,900 --> 01:24:47,512
Thank you for your time.

2896
01:24:47,512 --> 01:24:49,614
That concludes speakers on this

2897
01:24:49,614 --> 01:24:50,180
item.

2898
01:24:50,180 --> 01:24:52,490
ok, we

2899
01:24:52,490 --> 01:24:53,584
ve got, uh, 30 minutes

2900
01:24:53,584 --> 01:24:54,985
left, so I just keep that in

2901
01:24:54,985 --> 01:24:57,288
mind. We got 5 of us to get in

2902
01:24:57,288 --> 01:24:59,123
here and the discussion. I, I,

2903
01:24:59,123 --> 01:25:00,691
uh, punched in first, um.

2904
01:25:00,691 --> 01:25:02,260
I actually heard a lot of new

2905
01:25:02,260 --> 01:25:03,895
ideas, good ideas, maybe not

2906
01:25:03,895 --> 01:25:04,996
new ideas, but, uh, heard them

2907
01:25:04,996 --> 01:25:07,766
again, I guess is the best way

2908
01:25:07,766 --> 01:25:09,234
to put it, uh.

2909
01:25:09,234 --> 01:25:10,802
Is there one thing I always

2910
01:25:10,802 --> 01:25:12,137
like to ask the uh rhetorical

2911
01:25:12,137 --> 01:25:14,139
question. Is there one thing we

2912
01:25:14,139 --> 01:25:15,506
can do that can perfectly fix

2913
01:25:15,506 --> 01:25:15,701
all the roads? No, it, it

2914
01:25:15,701 --> 01:25:17,175
s

2915
01:25:17,175 --> 01:25:18,377
doing a lot of things is what

2916
01:25:18,377 --> 01:25:18,578
we have to do, and I think

2917
01:25:18,578 --> 01:25:20,578
that

2918
01:25:21,747 --> 01:25:23,381
s what we have been doing,

2919
01:25:23,381 --> 01:25:25,150
um, do roadway modifications

2920
01:25:25,150 --> 01:25:27,152
make roads perfectly safe.

2921
01:25:27,152 --> 01:25:28,820
Unfortunately, no. It all comes

2922
01:25:28,820 --> 01:25:31,390
back to driver behavior as a

2923
01:25:31,390 --> 01:25:32,590
component here.

2924
01:25:32,590 --> 01:25:34,590
Roadway construction is

2925
01:25:34,660 --> 01:25:36,195
important or, or, uh, design is

2926
01:25:36,195 --> 01:25:38,130
important, but we ultimately

2927
01:25:38,130 --> 01:25:40,132
have to change all of our

2928
01:25:40,132 --> 01:25:41,500
driver behaviors, ours, we all

2929
01:25:41,500 --> 01:25:43,569
have to drive at the speed

2930
01:25:43,569 --> 01:25:45,470
limit or under. I find myself

2931
01:25:45,470 --> 01:25:45,703
driving 5 miles under now.

2932
01:25:45,703 --> 01:25:46,639
And I

2933
01:25:46,639 --> 01:25:48,374
m very conscious about it

2934
01:25:48,374 --> 01:25:49,541
and I hope more people will do

2935
01:25:49,541 --> 01:25:51,310
that and we actually have seen

2936
01:25:51,310 --> 01:25:51,513
the data and I, I won

2937
01:25:51,513 --> 01:25:53,179
t go

2938
01:25:53,179 --> 01:25:55,179
recap that, so.

2939
01:25:56,480 --> 01:25:57,650
Um, if you could bring up the

2940
01:25:57,650 --> 01:25:57,838
slide about how much money

2941
01:25:57,838 --> 01:25:59,838
we

2942
01:26:00,486 --> 01:26:02,486
ve spent on

2943
01:26:03,656 --> 01:26:05,258
On enforcement versus roadway.

2944
01:26:05,258 --> 01:26:06,559
Because if you go look at some

2945
01:26:06,559 --> 01:26:06,992
of the, the bikeway

2946
01:26:06,992 --> 01:26:08,127
improvements we

2947
01:26:08,127 --> 01:26:09,962
ve done $4

2948
01:26:09,962 --> 01:26:10,429
million a mile, roughly.

2949
01:26:10,429 --> 01:26:10,697
That

2950
01:26:10,697 --> 01:26:11,498
s what it

2951
01:26:11,498 --> 01:26:12,765
s costing. Yeah,

2952
01:26:12,765 --> 01:26:15,234
look at the left there.

2953
01:26:15,234 --> 01:26:16,669
By the way, I went back and

2954
01:26:16,669 --> 01:26:17,170
checked before we put it in the

2955
01:26:17,170 --> 01:26:18,104
budget. I don

2956
01:26:18,104 --> 01:26:20,104
t know, what, 2

2957
01:26:20,440 --> 01:26:21,941
years ago, uh, to add the two

2958
01:26:21,941 --> 01:26:24,777
deputies, I went back and

2959
01:26:24,777 --> 01:26:26,847
looked 15 years, we had not

2960
01:26:26,847 --> 01:26:28,114
added a single traffic deputy.

2961
01:26:28,114 --> 01:26:29,282
15 years and it MAY have gone

2962
01:26:29,282 --> 01:26:31,818
back further. I just, I think I

2963
01:26:31,818 --> 01:26:32,919
ran out of data.

2964
01:26:32,919 --> 01:26:35,288
So we were flat. And so we

2965
01:26:35,288 --> 01:26:36,890
added the two.

2966
01:26:36,890 --> 01:26:37,257
I quite frankly, out of what

2967
01:26:37,257 --> 01:26:39,225
s

2968
01:26:39,225 --> 01:26:40,826
been happening and still not

2969
01:26:40,826 --> 01:26:41,328
seeing enough reduction in

2970
01:26:41,328 --> 01:26:41,728
speed even though we

2971
01:26:41,728 --> 01:26:42,950
ve seen

2972
01:26:42,950 --> 01:26:42,996
some. I

2973
01:26:42,996 --> 01:26:44,965
m gonna propose in the

2974
01:26:44,965 --> 01:26:46,166
next budget that we add 2 more.

2975
01:26:46,166 --> 01:26:47,967
And, and I think we need to,

2976
01:26:47,967 --> 01:26:49,436
and I think we need to all

2977
01:26:49,436 --> 01:26:50,537
consider that and we MAY even

2978
01:26:50,537 --> 01:26:53,273
do that before the next budget

2979
01:26:53,273 --> 01:26:53,507
and do it in mid-year. So, uh,

2980
01:26:53,507 --> 01:26:53,706
but it

2981
01:26:53,706 --> 01:26:54,274
s it

2982
01:26:54,274 --> 01:26:55,142
s important, you

2983
01:26:55,142 --> 01:26:56,644
know, it takes, it takes a

2984
01:26:56,644 --> 01:26:58,546
while to get them on board, but

2985
01:26:58,546 --> 01:26:58,979
you can see the cost. It, it

2986
01:26:58,979 --> 01:27:00,140
s,

2987
01:27:00,140 --> 01:27:00,981
uh, the first year is just

2988
01:27:00,981 --> 01:27:01,347
under a million, that

2989
01:27:01,347 --> 01:27:03,170
s because

2990
01:27:03,170 --> 01:27:04,719
you gotta get a car for each

2991
01:27:04,719 --> 01:27:07,688
one, each one of them. And then

2992
01:27:07,688 --> 01:27:10,491
it, it goes down to about

2993
01:27:10,491 --> 01:27:12,660
700,000 a year ongoing for 2,

2994
01:27:12,660 --> 01:27:13,861
and why 2 that covers, uh, both

2995
01:27:13,861 --> 01:27:15,861
shifts, right?

2996
01:27:15,930 --> 01:27:18,990
Um, quick question for, uh,

2997
01:27:18,990 --> 01:27:19,666
Captain Watts, how many traffic

2998
01:27:19,666 --> 01:27:21,569
deputies do we have as a whole?

2999
01:27:21,569 --> 01:27:22,603
What, what is adding to is what

3000
01:27:22,603 --> 01:27:25,603
kind of percentage increase in

3001
01:27:25,940 --> 01:27:28,340
our enforcement, so currently,

3002
01:27:28,443 --> 01:27:30,711
um, we staff 4 motors, so 4 on

3003
01:27:30,711 --> 01:27:32,813
the motorcycles, and then after

3004
01:27:32,813 --> 01:27:34,348
adding those two dui cars,

3005
01:27:34,348 --> 01:27:35,249
which also do enforcement,

3006
01:27:35,249 --> 01:27:37,649
speed enforcement, and other

3007
01:27:38,520 --> 01:27:39,186
enforcement. Um, we are at 7

3008
01:27:39,186 --> 01:27:40,221
cars, so it

3009
01:27:40,221 --> 01:27:42,900
s a significant

3010
01:27:42,900 --> 01:27:43,190
increase and 2 more would be a

3011
01:27:43,190 --> 01:27:43,558
very significant. So, so that,

3012
01:27:43,558 --> 01:27:43,759
that.

3013
01:27:43,759 --> 01:27:44,359
That

3014
01:27:44,359 --> 01:27:45,460
s one proposal. I just

3015
01:27:45,460 --> 01:27:45,894
wanna make sure we

3016
01:27:45,894 --> 01:27:46,294
re, we

3017
01:27:46,294 --> 01:27:48,230
re

3018
01:27:48,230 --> 01:27:50,599
looking at how much money we

3019
01:27:50,599 --> 01:27:51,633
have spent on roadway safety

3020
01:27:51,633 --> 01:27:52,734
versus what we

3021
01:27:52,734 --> 01:27:53,935
re spending on

3022
01:27:53,935 --> 01:27:54,903
additional traffic deputies,

3023
01:27:54,903 --> 01:27:56,538
school crossing guards, I think

3024
01:27:56,538 --> 01:27:58,740
it was a really good use of

3025
01:27:58,740 --> 01:27:59,408
money too. And, and bicycle

3026
01:27:59,408 --> 01:28:01,408
safety.

3027
01:28:01,410 --> 01:28:03,245
They, they all pale in

3028
01:28:03,245 --> 01:28:04,679
comparison to what we spent on

3029
01:28:04,679 --> 01:28:05,714
infrastructure, but

3030
01:28:05,714 --> 01:28:07,148
infrastructure will protect

3031
01:28:07,148 --> 01:28:09,485
that half mile, that quarter

3032
01:28:09,485 --> 01:28:10,619
mile, that mile, whatever we do.

3033
01:28:10,619 --> 01:28:10,853
But even then we

3034
01:28:10,853 --> 01:28:12,853
ve had

3035
01:28:13,155 --> 01:28:15,155
accidents.

3036
01:28:16,325 --> 01:28:19,270
At Cardiff, uh, Cardiff, uh,

3037
01:28:19,270 --> 01:28:20,296
the, uh, cycle trail, the uh

3038
01:28:20,296 --> 01:28:21,931
what do you call it, bike trail.

3039
01:28:21,931 --> 01:28:22,126
Yeah, the, the, uh.

3040
01:28:22,126 --> 01:28:23,399
We

3041
01:28:23,399 --> 01:28:25,368
ve had accidents, deaths

3042
01:28:25,368 --> 01:28:27,737
there. We had another death on,

3043
01:28:27,737 --> 01:28:29,238
on, on 2020 on Lucadia

3044
01:28:29,238 --> 01:28:30,740
Boulevard at an improved

3045
01:28:30,740 --> 01:28:31,107
separated bike lane. They

3046
01:28:31,107 --> 01:28:33,107
re

3047
01:28:33,409 --> 01:28:33,876
not a panacea for perfect

3048
01:28:33,876 --> 01:28:34,978
safety. It

3049
01:28:34,978 --> 01:28:36,345
s all gonna come

3050
01:28:36,345 --> 01:28:37,847
down to driver behavior

3051
01:28:37,847 --> 01:28:39,582
ultimately. So we really need

3052
01:28:39,582 --> 01:28:41,250
to change that and I, every

3053
01:28:41,250 --> 01:28:42,919
time, every opportunity I have,

3054
01:28:42,919 --> 01:28:43,686
I call on everyone, slow down,

3055
01:28:43,686 --> 01:28:44,870
even if you

3056
01:28:44,870 --> 01:28:45,521
re going slightly

3057
01:28:45,521 --> 01:28:46,522
slower, and I, yes, I have

3058
01:28:46,522 --> 01:28:48,425
people behind me honking too,

3059
01:28:48,425 --> 01:28:50,825
and I, and, but

3060
01:28:50,993 --> 01:28:51,661
You know, we gotta do it.

3061
01:28:51,661 --> 01:28:53,463
So that that

3062
01:28:53,463 --> 01:28:54,931
s one point, um.

3063
01:28:54,931 --> 01:28:56,566
Second item that I would

3064
01:28:56,566 --> 01:28:57,634
propose to this council is I

3065
01:28:57,634 --> 01:28:59,235
wanna go back through the

3066
01:28:59,235 --> 01:29:01,204
history first.

3067
01:29:01,204 --> 01:29:04,400
Um, we adopted this council,

3068
01:29:04,400 --> 01:29:06,143
not this council, but a council

3069
01:29:06,143 --> 01:29:09,143
adopted Vision Zero back in

3070
01:29:09,379 --> 01:29:12,979
2019 or it was, it was proposed.

3071
01:29:13,684 --> 01:29:16,153
It had, we adopted it in 2021.

3072
01:29:16,153 --> 01:29:18,355
So we do have a vision zero

3073
01:29:18,355 --> 01:29:20,357
plan. It is there. Out of that

3074
01:29:20,357 --> 01:29:21,926
came the local roadway safety

3075
01:29:21,926 --> 01:29:23,960
plan, which was written in

3076
01:29:23,960 --> 01:29:24,192
FEBRUARY of 2022, and if you

3077
01:29:24,192 --> 01:29:25,696
haven

3078
01:29:25,696 --> 01:29:26,330
t read it, uh, I would

3079
01:29:26,330 --> 01:29:26,964
recommend it. It

3080
01:29:26,964 --> 01:29:27,159
s very good.

3081
01:29:27,159 --> 01:29:27,898
It

3082
01:29:27,898 --> 01:29:28,232
s very analytical. It

3083
01:29:28,232 --> 01:29:29,232
s a

3084
01:29:29,232 --> 01:29:30,701
day.

3085
01:29:30,701 --> 01:29:33,101
Data-driven document, and then

3086
01:29:35,773 --> 01:29:35,998
out of that came the uh the um.

3087
01:29:35,998 --> 01:29:36,607
What

3088
01:29:36,607 --> 01:29:37,708
s that now? Oh, the, uh,

3089
01:29:37,708 --> 01:29:39,708
um.

3090
01:29:40,711 --> 01:29:42,346
What is it? Csap. I can never

3091
01:29:42,346 --> 01:29:42,547
remember the uh, um.

3092
01:29:42,547 --> 01:29:42,980
What

3093
01:29:42,980 --> 01:29:44,980
s the, what

3094
01:29:45,348 --> 01:29:46,750
s the, uh,

3095
01:29:46,750 --> 01:29:48,750
comprehensive safety action

3096
01:29:48,820 --> 01:29:50,588
action plan, which is actually

3097
01:29:50,588 --> 01:29:51,550
less if you, you read it, it

3098
01:29:51,550 --> 01:29:53,550
s

3099
01:29:53,570 --> 01:29:54,225
actually less uh quantitative

3100
01:29:54,225 --> 01:29:54,926
and, and a little less data

3101
01:29:54,926 --> 01:29:55,627
analytics. It

3102
01:29:55,627 --> 01:29:56,694
s a little more

3103
01:29:56,694 --> 01:29:58,263
policy driven.

3104
01:29:58,263 --> 01:30:00,298
What I would propose is that we

3105
01:30:00,298 --> 01:30:02,167
bring that back in the not too

3106
01:30:02,167 --> 01:30:03,601
distant future and regenize it

3107
01:30:03,601 --> 01:30:04,736
because I think the only, only

3108
01:30:04,736 --> 01:30:07,405
person that was on council at

3109
01:30:07,405 --> 01:30:08,707
the time was, uh, uh, council

3110
01:30:08,707 --> 01:30:10,308
member lines. The rest of us

3111
01:30:10,308 --> 01:30:10,496
are, are new after this. And so

3112
01:30:10,496 --> 01:30:12,496
I

3113
01:30:13,678 --> 01:30:15,614
d like to have us regenize

3114
01:30:15,614 --> 01:30:16,981
and review those two, similar

3115
01:30:16,981 --> 01:30:18,349
to what we did in the case of

3116
01:30:18,349 --> 01:30:20,252
flooding when we brought back

3117
01:30:20,252 --> 01:30:20,519
the q3 report a couple of years

3118
01:30:20,519 --> 01:30:21,586
ago. It

3119
01:30:21,586 --> 01:30:23,354
s a chance for this

3120
01:30:23,354 --> 01:30:24,989
council to buy in and make

3121
01:30:24,989 --> 01:30:26,892
modifications to that very same

3122
01:30:26,892 --> 01:30:28,460
plan and then per potential.

3123
01:30:28,460 --> 01:30:30,860
Essentially direct updating it,

3124
01:30:31,296 --> 01:30:33,231
which I think is one of the,

3125
01:30:33,231 --> 01:30:35,633
one of the reoccurring themes I

3126
01:30:35,633 --> 01:30:36,602
hear is we want better data,

3127
01:30:36,602 --> 01:30:39,200
more appropriate data. Quite

3128
01:30:39,505 --> 01:30:43,705
frankly, I, I look at that and

3129
01:30:44,743 --> 01:30:46,345
both the csap and the lr lrsp

3130
01:30:46,345 --> 01:30:48,214
both basically look at

3131
01:30:48,214 --> 01:30:50,182
What problems or where most of

3132
01:30:50,182 --> 01:30:51,717
the crashes and fatalities and,

3133
01:30:51,717 --> 01:30:52,718
and serious injuries are coming

3134
01:30:52,718 --> 01:30:52,912
from. Guess what? They they

3135
01:30:52,912 --> 01:30:54,520
re

3136
01:30:54,520 --> 01:30:55,921
coming from speeding,

3137
01:30:55,921 --> 01:30:57,391
distracted driving, running

3138
01:30:57,391 --> 01:30:58,925
stop signs, running stoplights,

3139
01:30:58,925 --> 01:30:59,358
and drunken driving. That

3140
01:30:59,358 --> 01:31:00,792
s in

3141
01:31:00,792 --> 01:31:02,895
both of those reports if you go

3142
01:31:02,895 --> 01:31:04,196
back and read them tonight.

3143
01:31:04,196 --> 01:31:04,763
And and so I think we

3144
01:31:04,763 --> 01:31:06,763
ve done a

3145
01:31:07,367 --> 01:31:09,635
lot of the work. We just need

3146
01:31:09,635 --> 01:31:10,570
to maybe familiarize not only

3147
01:31:10,570 --> 01:31:12,305
ourselves but probably the

3148
01:31:12,305 --> 01:31:14,975
public. So, I, I would propose

3149
01:31:14,975 --> 01:31:16,610
that, uh, we agendize that at a

3150
01:31:16,610 --> 01:31:17,910
future meeting, hopefully

3151
01:31:17,910 --> 01:31:18,411
OCTOBER, maybe, you know, it

3152
01:31:18,411 --> 01:31:19,790
depends on where it

3153
01:31:19,790 --> 01:31:20,547
ll fit in,

3154
01:31:20,547 --> 01:31:22,516
but sooner better.

3155
01:31:22,516 --> 01:31:24,250
Uh,

3156
01:31:24,250 --> 01:31:26,219
And, and then, I, I think I

3157
01:31:26,219 --> 01:31:28,219
will, uh,

3158
01:31:28,789 --> 01:31:32,250
Yield at that point because, uh.

3159
01:31:32,250 --> 01:31:32,659
We had 11 last point.

3160
01:31:32,659 --> 01:31:34,461
Um, and I

3161
01:31:34,461 --> 01:31:35,896
m going to quote

3162
01:31:35,896 --> 01:31:37,831
Fabian Gunnell, because you

3163
01:31:37,831 --> 01:31:39,433
said actions matter more than

3164
01:31:39,433 --> 01:31:41,834
words. That is so true.

3165
01:31:41,834 --> 01:31:43,470
Uh, when When I went back and I

3166
01:31:43,470 --> 01:31:45,472
looked at the emergency

3167
01:31:45,472 --> 01:31:47,308
declaration and, you know, we

3168
01:31:47,308 --> 01:31:48,309
could declare an emergency.

3169
01:31:48,309 --> 01:31:49,810
What happened the last time I

3170
01:31:49,810 --> 01:31:51,111
was on the council when we

3171
01:31:51,111 --> 01:31:51,711
declared an emergency, and

3172
01:31:51,711 --> 01:31:52,145
quite frankly, I didn

3173
01:31:52,145 --> 01:31:54,145
t know

3174
01:31:54,281 --> 01:31:57,318
what it, it had expired. But I

3175
01:31:57,318 --> 01:31:59,318
learned that later.

3176
01:31:59,753 --> 01:32:01,421
All the response was, what

3177
01:32:01,421 --> 01:32:02,756
additional powers does the

3178
01:32:02,756 --> 01:32:03,624
council get from declaring an

3179
01:32:03,624 --> 01:32:04,910
emergency, and it

3180
01:32:04,910 --> 01:32:05,592
s really

3181
01:32:05,592 --> 01:32:07,600
almost none. What, what that

3182
01:32:07,600 --> 01:32:10,660
council did back then with me

3183
01:32:11,299 --> 01:32:12,800
on it, is we put up the uh the

3184
01:32:12,800 --> 01:32:14,168
flashing road signs, right,

3185
01:32:14,168 --> 01:32:16,971
with the messaging signs. We

3186
01:32:16,971 --> 01:32:18,907
printed a whole bunch of, of.

3187
01:32:18,907 --> 01:32:20,741
Science, uh, yard signs that

3188
01:32:20,741 --> 01:32:22,741
went out.

3189
01:32:22,810 --> 01:32:25,146
But everything else, all the,

3190
01:32:25,146 --> 01:32:27,949
the actions as, as Fabian would

3191
01:32:27,949 --> 01:32:28,749
call it, those all came out of

3192
01:32:28,749 --> 01:32:29,917
council action that

3193
01:32:29,917 --> 01:32:30,251
s long term

3194
01:32:30,251 --> 01:32:31,185
and that we

3195
01:32:31,185 --> 01:32:32,520
ve been working on

3196
01:32:32,520 --> 01:32:35,223
and building on, building on

3197
01:32:35,223 --> 01:32:36,991
the local road safety plan,

3198
01:32:36,991 --> 01:32:38,527
building on the csap building

3199
01:32:38,527 --> 01:32:38,746
on all the work that staff

3200
01:32:38,746 --> 01:32:39,694
s

3201
01:32:39,694 --> 01:32:41,196
been doing, building on the

3202
01:32:41,196 --> 01:32:41,462
work that that the sheriff

3203
01:32:41,462 --> 01:32:43,365
s

3204
01:32:43,365 --> 01:32:45,000
captain has done to increase

3205
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:46,701
enforcement and change driver

3206
01:32:46,701 --> 01:32:46,935
behavior. So, um,

3207
01:32:46,935 --> 01:32:48,704
I don

3208
01:32:48,704 --> 01:32:49,671
t, I don

3209
01:32:49,671 --> 01:32:51,273
t know that

3210
01:32:51,273 --> 01:32:52,473
words and declarations are the

3211
01:32:52,473 --> 01:32:53,942
most important thing here

3212
01:32:53,942 --> 01:32:56,578
tonight, I think, as Fabian

3213
01:32:56,578 --> 01:32:58,578
said, actions.

3214
01:32:59,515 --> 01:32:59,709
Actions very particular actions.

3215
01:32:59,709 --> 01:33:00,820
Let

3216
01:33:00,820 --> 01:33:00,983
s, let

3217
01:33:00,983 --> 01:33:02,983
s continue building

3218
01:33:03,485 --> 01:33:04,652
better roads, safer roads where

3219
01:33:04,652 --> 01:33:05,722
appropriate.

3220
01:33:05,722 --> 01:33:06,254
Uh, let Let

3221
01:33:06,254 --> 01:33:06,789
s continue the

3222
01:33:06,789 --> 01:33:08,789
enforcement. Let

3223
01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:10,926
s add to the

3224
01:33:10,926 --> 01:33:12,695
enforcement and there were some

3225
01:33:12,695 --> 01:33:14,263
great ideas, the cutout of the

3226
01:33:14,263 --> 01:33:15,931
sheriff is kind of similar to

3227
01:33:15,931 --> 01:33:18,200
having the car, uh, an unmanned

3228
01:33:18,200 --> 01:33:19,201
car parked, uh, there too. And,

3229
01:33:19,201 --> 01:33:20,102
and by the way, I

3230
01:33:20,102 --> 01:33:22,102
ve seen that

3231
01:33:22,338 --> 01:33:23,639
and watched that and people jam

3232
01:33:23,639 --> 01:33:24,774
on their brakes at the stop

3233
01:33:24,774 --> 01:33:26,175
sign when they come up to a

3234
01:33:26,175 --> 01:33:26,409
corner and see a police car. So

3235
01:33:26,409 --> 01:33:27,310
I don

3236
01:33:27,310 --> 01:33:28,644
t know if we buy a bunch

3237
01:33:28,644 --> 01:33:29,712
of used cars, paint them black

3238
01:33:29,712 --> 01:33:30,980
and white, and put them out

3239
01:33:30,980 --> 01:33:32,481
there. But their ideas like

3240
01:33:32,481 --> 01:33:34,481
that, but

3241
01:33:34,584 --> 01:33:35,151
My bottom line here.

3242
01:33:35,151 --> 01:33:37,200
What we

3243
01:33:37,200 --> 01:33:38,525
re doing is not one

3244
01:33:38,525 --> 01:33:40,155
action, it

3245
01:33:40,155 --> 01:33:41,825
s a complete breadth

3246
01:33:41,825 --> 01:33:42,958
of actions. There are many, and

3247
01:33:42,958 --> 01:33:43,158
I think you heard tonight that

3248
01:33:43,158 --> 01:33:43,460
that

3249
01:33:43,460 --> 01:33:44,127
s what we

3250
01:33:44,127 --> 01:33:46,127
ve been doing.

3251
01:33:46,162 --> 01:33:47,364
We will continue to do, uh, as

3252
01:33:47,364 --> 01:33:49,320
the council changes over this

3253
01:33:49,320 --> 01:33:50,500
next year, I hope future

3254
01:33:50,500 --> 01:33:51,200
councils will continue that.

3255
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:52,202
So with that, I

3256
01:33:52,202 --> 01:33:53,636
ll yield.

3257
01:33:53,636 --> 01:33:55,636
COUNCILMAN Schaffer.

3258
01:33:55,772 --> 01:33:58,172
Thank you, Mayor. Um.

3259
01:33:58,208 --> 01:33:59,409
Uh, I do believe that this is

3260
01:33:59,409 --> 01:34:02,178
obviously a very important to

3261
01:34:02,178 --> 01:34:03,680
all of, of Encinitas and when

3262
01:34:03,680 --> 01:34:03,914
we look at the different models,

3263
01:34:03,914 --> 01:34:04,480
and I

3264
01:34:04,480 --> 01:34:04,815
m just gonna go through

3265
01:34:04,815 --> 01:34:05,582
the list I

3266
01:34:05,582 --> 01:34:07,284
ve written kind of

3267
01:34:07,284 --> 01:34:07,550
in order. The RRFBs, I think

3268
01:34:07,550 --> 01:34:08,510
that they

3269
01:34:08,510 --> 01:34:09,887
re great. I think

3270
01:34:09,887 --> 01:34:10,888
that they need, uh, a lead time

3271
01:34:10,888 --> 01:34:11,922
for the driver, cause it

3272
01:34:11,922 --> 01:34:12,900
s a,

3273
01:34:12,900 --> 01:34:12,755
it

3274
01:34:12,755 --> 01:34:13,790
s, an, it

3275
01:34:13,790 --> 01:34:15,358
s an, a push and

3276
01:34:15,358 --> 01:34:16,560
activated immediately when you

3277
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:16,760
activate it, uh, I think

3278
01:34:16,760 --> 01:34:17,795
there

3279
01:34:17,795 --> 01:34:18,896
s a false confidence that

3280
01:34:18,896 --> 01:34:20,430
sometimes where people feel

3281
01:34:20,430 --> 01:34:21,231
like they can walk like a

3282
01:34:21,231 --> 01:34:21,465
normal stoplight where they

3283
01:34:21,465 --> 01:34:22,700
re

3284
01:34:22,700 --> 01:34:23,600
all the cars have the yellow,

3285
01:34:23,600 --> 01:34:25,690
they have time to slow down,

3286
01:34:25,690 --> 01:34:26,103
and then a red to come to that

3287
01:34:26,103 --> 01:34:27,605
stop, um.

3288
01:34:27,605 --> 01:34:27,838
On a number of occasions I

3289
01:34:27,838 --> 01:34:29,507
ve

3290
01:34:29,507 --> 01:34:31,800
seen myself in Cardiff and also

3291
01:34:31,800 --> 01:34:32,443
in Lucadia. People push the

3292
01:34:32,443 --> 01:34:32,876
button and walk, and it

3293
01:34:32,876 --> 01:34:33,911
s a

3294
01:34:33,911 --> 01:34:34,990
false confidence and I, I don

3295
01:34:34,990 --> 01:34:35,379
t

3296
01:34:35,379 --> 01:34:36,814
want to keep creating a false

3297
01:34:36,814 --> 01:34:37,614
confidence. I want stuff that

3298
01:34:37,614 --> 01:34:37,789
actually works, so if there

3299
01:34:37,789 --> 01:34:39,183
s a

3300
01:34:39,183 --> 01:34:39,360
way to do that, I know that

3301
01:34:39,360 --> 01:34:41,850
I

3302
01:34:41,850 --> 01:34:43,120
ve talked about this before,

3303
01:34:43,120 --> 01:34:44,389
Ensenada in, in a, a country

3304
01:34:44,389 --> 01:34:45,824
that supposedly is, is lesser

3305
01:34:45,824 --> 01:34:46,791
than us, has a countdown on

3306
01:34:46,791 --> 01:34:48,326
their yellow lights, their,

3307
01:34:48,326 --> 01:34:49,260
their, uh, the yellow on the

3308
01:34:49,260 --> 01:34:49,560
light signal. I

3309
01:34:49,560 --> 01:34:49,760
m not sure

3310
01:34:49,760 --> 01:34:50,728
that

3311
01:34:50,728 --> 01:34:52,397
s something that we could

3312
01:34:52,397 --> 01:34:53,565
look into, but having a the one

3313
01:34:53,565 --> 01:34:55,534
time that you can know that the

3314
01:34:55,534 --> 01:34:56,636
timing of the light is when the

3315
01:34:56,636 --> 01:34:57,601
crosswalk is.

3316
01:34:57,601 --> 01:34:59,104
Counting down and you see the

3317
01:34:59,104 --> 01:35:00,572
light go yellow, you know.

3318
01:35:00,572 --> 01:35:02,730
How much more time there is,

3319
01:35:02,730 --> 01:35:02,974
and it gives you that that

3320
01:35:02,974 --> 01:35:04,409
confidence and now the driver

3321
01:35:04,409 --> 01:35:05,577
from a distance, especially

3322
01:35:05,577 --> 01:35:07,546
with the speeds of the vehicles.

3323
01:35:07,546 --> 01:35:08,680
The distance you can be from a

3324
01:35:08,680 --> 01:35:09,480
light, uh, let

3325
01:35:09,480 --> 01:35:10,849
s say South El

3326
01:35:10,849 --> 01:35:11,850
El Camino Real, uh, down there

3327
01:35:11,850 --> 01:35:13,785
by the college. You could be

3328
01:35:13,785 --> 01:35:15,187
going at the 55 miles an hour

3329
01:35:15,187 --> 01:35:16,789
and that light changes, you

3330
01:35:16,789 --> 01:35:18,924
know, whatever the, the timing

3331
01:35:18,924 --> 01:35:20,259
is, so you, you have cars

3332
01:35:20,259 --> 01:35:21,727
driving at a, a greater speed

3333
01:35:21,727 --> 01:35:23,727
at different times.

3334
01:35:24,496 --> 01:35:26,650
Uh, I think, um, Fabian brought

3335
01:35:26,650 --> 01:35:27,499
up, you know, the actions, I

3336
01:35:27,499 --> 01:35:28,367
would say the, the slow is

3337
01:35:28,367 --> 01:35:29,568
important. I think that

3338
01:35:29,568 --> 01:35:31,568
separate is better.

3339
01:35:32,471 --> 01:35:34,273
So I think that, you know, Judy

3340
01:35:34,273 --> 01:35:35,207
Berlein brought up the idea of

3341
01:35:35,207 --> 01:35:36,809
the intersections that you do

3342
01:35:36,809 --> 01:35:38,310
have to cross the major

3343
01:35:38,310 --> 01:35:38,878
thoroughfares, that would be a

3344
01:35:38,878 --> 01:35:40,878
help.

3345
01:35:42,214 --> 01:35:43,916
For us to have these separate

3346
01:35:43,916 --> 01:35:45,840
um mobility locations where

3347
01:35:45,840 --> 01:35:46,485
that are safer streets, but

3348
01:35:46,485 --> 01:35:48,200
when we do have the points of

3349
01:35:48,200 --> 01:35:50,156
crossing, uh, that are most

3350
01:35:50,156 --> 01:35:51,857
used that we can hammer those

3351
01:35:51,857 --> 01:35:52,391
locations for enforcement. I

3352
01:35:52,391 --> 01:35:53,426
think that

3353
01:35:53,426 --> 01:35:55,228
s a comprehensive

3354
01:35:55,228 --> 01:35:57,797
approach to start separating as

3355
01:35:57,797 --> 01:35:59,198
much as possible bikes and um

3356
01:35:59,198 --> 01:36:00,133
and cars. There are gonna be

3357
01:36:00,133 --> 01:36:01,267
locations where they are gonna,

3358
01:36:01,267 --> 01:36:03,235
you know, meet up, but in those

3359
01:36:03,235 --> 01:36:04,404
locations, we, we hammer down

3360
01:36:04,404 --> 01:36:05,838
on, uh, again, Melba, I

3361
01:36:05,838 --> 01:36:07,140
m sorry,

3362
01:36:07,140 --> 01:36:07,327
uh, Blo and Nia Boulevard. It

3363
01:36:07,327 --> 01:36:08,800
s

3364
01:36:08,800 --> 01:36:08,290
been talked about. There

3365
01:36:08,290 --> 01:36:08,642
s

3366
01:36:08,642 --> 01:36:09,175
schools there. It

3367
01:36:09,175 --> 01:36:10,410
s a lot of.

3368
01:36:10,410 --> 01:36:12,779
Uh, issues. I actually had a

3369
01:36:12,779 --> 01:36:13,780
good friend, uh, older brother,

3370
01:36:13,780 --> 01:36:15,148
uh, get hit there, uh,

3371
01:36:15,148 --> 01:36:17,183
thankfully lived, but was 8

3372
01:36:17,183 --> 01:36:17,384
months in the hospital, so, uh,

3373
01:36:17,384 --> 01:36:18,451
that

3374
01:36:18,451 --> 01:36:20,554
s back in the, the mid 80s,

3375
01:36:20,554 --> 01:36:22,589
so this is not something new to

3376
01:36:22,589 --> 01:36:24,224
the city, um.

3377
01:36:24,224 --> 01:36:25,259
I think the traffic blitzes

3378
01:36:25,259 --> 01:36:25,459
have been working. I think

3379
01:36:25,459 --> 01:36:26,693
we

3380
01:36:26,693 --> 01:36:28,295
re at the point with the

3381
01:36:28,295 --> 01:36:30,130
omnipresence that uh.

3382
01:36:30,130 --> 01:36:31,531
The sheriff, you know,

3383
01:36:31,531 --> 01:36:32,899
represents, and the reason that

3384
01:36:32,899 --> 01:36:33,767
the omnipresence works is that

3385
01:36:33,767 --> 01:36:34,768
you see a sheriff, you know, on

3386
01:36:34,768 --> 01:36:35,690
this street and two streets

3387
01:36:35,690 --> 01:36:35,669
over, you

3388
01:36:35,669 --> 01:36:36,537
re not gonna speed

3389
01:36:36,537 --> 01:36:36,722
because you just saw a sheriff,

3390
01:36:36,722 --> 01:36:37,338
you

3391
01:36:37,338 --> 01:36:37,570
re not sure you

3392
01:36:37,570 --> 01:36:39,570
re gonna

3393
01:36:39,606 --> 01:36:41,508
see one again, uh, around the

3394
01:36:41,508 --> 01:36:42,810
corner, so something along the

3395
01:36:42,810 --> 01:36:44,780
lines of maybe announcing the

3396
01:36:44,780 --> 01:36:45,546
traffic, traffic blizzards. I

3397
01:36:45,546 --> 01:36:47,314
think people have been hammered

3398
01:36:47,314 --> 01:36:48,849
enough now where if we announce

3399
01:36:48,849 --> 01:36:50,170
the traffic blicits, it might

3400
01:36:50,170 --> 01:36:51,118
actually get the, the value

3401
01:36:51,118 --> 01:36:52,219
that we want before people even

3402
01:36:52,219 --> 01:36:54,221
get on the road that morning.

3403
01:36:54,221 --> 01:36:55,622
They MAY leave earlier, so

3404
01:36:55,622 --> 01:36:56,923
whether you do it that morning

3405
01:36:56,923 --> 01:36:58,910
or not, just announcing it

3406
01:36:58,910 --> 01:36:59,127
might be enough to.

3407
01:36:59,127 --> 01:36:59,494
To change the behavior and

3408
01:36:59,494 --> 01:37:00,961
we

3409
01:37:00,961 --> 01:37:02,463
re doing it enough where the

3410
01:37:02,463 --> 01:37:02,642
person MAY or MAY not know that

3411
01:37:02,642 --> 01:37:03,330
it

3412
01:37:03,330 --> 01:37:04,364
s happening that morning,

3413
01:37:04,364 --> 01:37:05,767
and it might give them the

3414
01:37:05,767 --> 01:37:06,434
value to just, uh, and if you

3415
01:37:06,434 --> 01:37:07,368
put it the night before or

3416
01:37:07,368 --> 01:37:08,169
something like that and it

3417
01:37:08,169 --> 01:37:09,700
starts to change that behavior

3418
01:37:09,700 --> 01:37:11,390
a little bit over time, you

3419
01:37:11,390 --> 01:37:13,375
know, week after week, um, it

3420
01:37:13,375 --> 01:37:16,975
starts to, uh, make that change.

3421
01:37:18,246 --> 01:37:20,281
Uh, I do believe that the

3422
01:37:20,281 --> 01:37:21,649
static displays, the, the using

3423
01:37:21,649 --> 01:37:22,384
the volunteer, uh, sheriff,

3424
01:37:22,384 --> 01:37:24,519
like, you know, just seeing the

3425
01:37:24,519 --> 01:37:26,287
black and white, it, it

3426
01:37:26,287 --> 01:37:26,988
automatically uh creates, uh,

3427
01:37:26,988 --> 01:37:28,988
that change.

3428
01:37:29,590 --> 01:37:31,159
So in areas where it might be

3429
01:37:31,159 --> 01:37:32,159
uh too dangerous or, uh, I

3430
01:37:32,159 --> 01:37:33,395
forget who it was that spoke

3431
01:37:33,395 --> 01:37:34,620
about it. It was this young

3432
01:37:34,620 --> 01:37:34,729
lady over here. I don

3433
01:37:34,729 --> 01:37:35,162
t, Laura,

3434
01:37:35,162 --> 01:37:37,562
no, no, it wasn

3435
01:37:38,167 --> 01:37:39,701
t Laura.

3436
01:37:39,701 --> 01:37:41,670
Connie, yeah Yeah, Connie,

3437
01:37:41,670 --> 01:37:43,505
Connie, yeah. So the idea is to

3438
01:37:43,505 --> 01:37:45,440
have, uh, maybe to be able to

3439
01:37:45,440 --> 01:37:46,875
put some static displays out in

3440
01:37:46,875 --> 01:37:47,909
the locations where it just

3441
01:37:47,909 --> 01:37:48,944
slows down the traffic before

3442
01:37:48,944 --> 01:37:50,245
we have the problem again I

3443
01:37:50,245 --> 01:37:51,213
know we wanna hammer people, we

3444
01:37:51,213 --> 01:37:53,182
wanna give them tickets, but

3445
01:37:53,182 --> 01:37:54,149
really we want to save lives.

3446
01:37:54,149 --> 01:37:54,583
So if, if it

3447
01:37:54,583 --> 01:37:55,584
s only about

3448
01:37:55,584 --> 01:37:56,618
tickets, then we MAY not be

3449
01:37:56,618 --> 01:37:56,986
saving the lives if we don

3450
01:37:56,986 --> 01:37:58,787
t

3451
01:37:58,787 --> 01:38:00,289
just get the behavior to change

3452
01:38:00,289 --> 01:38:01,357
over the course of time. Um,

3453
01:38:01,357 --> 01:38:03,325
and then I have talked about

3454
01:38:03,325 --> 01:38:05,428
this over, uh, there are

3455
01:38:05,428 --> 01:38:05,728
Parts of the world, uh, it

3456
01:38:05,728 --> 01:38:07,697
s

3457
01:38:07,697 --> 01:38:08,763
got to spend some, some time in

3458
01:38:08,763 --> 01:38:10,532
Australia last year for a

3459
01:38:10,532 --> 01:38:12,434
number of weeks, and the fact

3460
01:38:12,434 --> 01:38:13,169
is they use roundabouts

3461
01:38:13,169 --> 01:38:15,938
significantly better than we do.

3462
01:38:15,938 --> 01:38:17,806
I think in this city because of

3463
01:38:17,806 --> 01:38:19,609
our, um, the freeway that goes

3464
01:38:19,609 --> 01:38:20,576
through town and the uh the uh

3465
01:38:20,576 --> 01:38:21,678
railroad track that goes

3466
01:38:21,678 --> 01:38:23,146
through town, it changes our

3467
01:38:23,146 --> 01:38:23,358
lights so significantly that we

3468
01:38:23,358 --> 01:38:25,358
can

3469
01:38:26,416 --> 01:38:28,384
t get to the consistent

3470
01:38:28,384 --> 01:38:29,319
mobility of our traffic and so

3471
01:38:29,319 --> 01:38:30,186
we want to have a better

3472
01:38:30,186 --> 01:38:31,921
lighting system. We want to

3473
01:38:31,921 --> 01:38:32,956
have a better, uh, flow for the

3474
01:38:32,956 --> 01:38:33,256
thoroughfare, so people don

3475
01:38:33,256 --> 01:38:34,290
t

3476
01:38:34,290 --> 01:38:36,192
leave the thoroughfare.

3477
01:38:36,192 --> 01:38:38,161
That go through residential

3478
01:38:38,161 --> 01:38:39,296
streets where kids and

3479
01:38:39,296 --> 01:38:40,664
bicyclists and pedestrians

3480
01:38:40,664 --> 01:38:41,831
should be using those roads on

3481
01:38:41,831 --> 01:38:42,380
a more regular basis. Again,

3482
01:38:42,380 --> 01:38:42,666
I

3483
01:38:42,666 --> 01:38:42,933
m not telling people I

3484
01:38:42,933 --> 01:38:44,468
m not

3485
01:38:44,468 --> 01:38:46,402
going into this boulevard, but

3486
01:38:46,402 --> 01:38:46,837
it, it does, it has its, it

3487
01:38:46,837 --> 01:38:48,371
s

3488
01:38:48,371 --> 01:38:49,406
natural issues. So if we were

3489
01:38:49,406 --> 01:38:50,707
gonna do roundabouts instead of

3490
01:38:50,707 --> 01:38:53,760
doing one here, one there, you

3491
01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:54,100
know, uh, a grant here or there,

3492
01:38:54,100 --> 01:38:55,578
uh, have a comprehensive plan

3493
01:38:55,578 --> 01:38:57,140
of what it would look like. Do

3494
01:38:57,140 --> 01:38:59,383
we need 20? Do we need 50? Do

3495
01:38:59,383 --> 01:39:00,483
we need, you know, 100 in this

3496
01:39:00,483 --> 01:39:02,850
town to actually make the

3497
01:39:02,850 --> 01:39:03,387
traffic flow at, at a rate that

3498
01:39:03,387 --> 01:39:05,222
actually gets us from point a

3499
01:39:05,222 --> 01:39:06,790
to point b.

3500
01:39:06,790 --> 01:39:08,790
Consistent with the

3501
01:39:08,925 --> 01:39:10,925
availability of less.

3502
01:39:12,620 --> 01:39:12,329
Uh, direct, blunt crashes,

3503
01:39:12,329 --> 01:39:14,980
which we

3504
01:39:14,980 --> 01:39:16,366
ve shown in videos

3505
01:39:16,366 --> 01:39:17,668
here before that the

3506
01:39:17,668 --> 01:39:19,403
roundabouts lower the

3507
01:39:19,403 --> 01:39:20,504
fatalities in, uh, because of

3508
01:39:20,504 --> 01:39:20,695
the angle of the accident. It

3509
01:39:20,695 --> 01:39:21,706
s

3510
01:39:21,706 --> 01:39:23,107
an off kilter. It

3511
01:39:23,107 --> 01:39:24,375
s not in the

3512
01:39:24,375 --> 01:39:25,409
direct t-bone or head-on

3513
01:39:25,409 --> 01:39:25,876
collision model. So if we

3514
01:39:25,876 --> 01:39:26,477
re

3515
01:39:26,477 --> 01:39:27,879
going to do something of that

3516
01:39:27,879 --> 01:39:30,515
nature instead of just having

3517
01:39:30,515 --> 01:39:32,450
12 or 31 here, 1 there. What

3518
01:39:32,450 --> 01:39:33,951
would it look like to have a

3519
01:39:33,951 --> 01:39:35,951
comprehensive, uh, roundabout

3520
01:39:35,987 --> 01:39:37,254
plan in this city.

3521
01:39:37,254 --> 01:39:37,437
Um, and then something I don

3522
01:39:37,437 --> 01:39:38,423
t

3523
01:39:38,423 --> 01:39:40,558
think people are talking about

3524
01:39:40,558 --> 01:39:42,526
enough, but with what the onset

3525
01:39:42,526 --> 01:39:43,695
of the waymos and some of these

3526
01:39:43,695 --> 01:39:45,290
rideshare programs in the

3527
01:39:45,290 --> 01:39:47,290
bigger cities.

3528
01:39:47,465 --> 01:39:49,670
Uber started in, in dc, started

3529
01:39:49,670 --> 01:39:49,500
in la and San Francisco, and

3530
01:39:49,500 --> 01:39:50,502
now it

3531
01:39:50,502 --> 01:39:51,200
s all over the entire

3532
01:39:51,200 --> 01:39:51,802
world, so it

3533
01:39:51,802 --> 01:39:54,239
s only a matter of

3534
01:39:54,239 --> 01:39:56,642
time that we see rideshare in

3535
01:39:56,642 --> 01:39:57,675
the, uh, transportation as a

3536
01:39:57,675 --> 01:39:58,843
service coming our way and

3537
01:39:58,843 --> 01:40:01,446
seeing what that might look

3538
01:40:01,446 --> 01:40:03,849
like as at a greater capacity

3539
01:40:03,849 --> 01:40:06,718
of what it would, uh, how long

3540
01:40:06,718 --> 01:40:09,588
it looks like until we might

3541
01:40:09,588 --> 01:40:10,822
have 20%, 30%, uh.

3542
01:40:10,822 --> 01:40:12,900
Unmanned vehicles, you know,

3543
01:40:12,900 --> 01:40:13,910
driving and.

3544
01:40:13,910 --> 01:40:14,793
You know, taking people to

3545
01:40:14,793 --> 01:40:16,361
point a to point b, seeing what

3546
01:40:16,361 --> 01:40:18,397
that does for the safety

3547
01:40:18,397 --> 01:40:19,865
overall, um.

3548
01:40:19,865 --> 01:40:20,933
With regards to the, the

3549
01:40:20,933 --> 01:40:22,234
sensors and the ability for

3550
01:40:22,234 --> 01:40:23,702
those vehicles to drive the

3551
01:40:23,702 --> 01:40:24,505
exact speed limit, not going

3552
01:40:24,505 --> 01:40:25,670
over. There

3553
01:40:25,670 --> 01:40:27,205
s no human error in

3554
01:40:27,205 --> 01:40:28,140
that remodel. Obviously the

3555
01:40:28,140 --> 01:40:28,406
technology has to be there, but

3556
01:40:28,406 --> 01:40:29,141
it wouldn

3557
01:40:29,141 --> 01:40:30,242
t be a bad idea for

3558
01:40:30,242 --> 01:40:31,410
us to have an onset of what

3559
01:40:31,410 --> 01:40:31,643
that looks like in the city and

3560
01:40:31,643 --> 01:40:32,378
if that

3561
01:40:32,378 --> 01:40:33,546
s something that we

3562
01:40:33,546 --> 01:40:34,747
want to head towards, uh, as

3563
01:40:34,747 --> 01:40:37,147
those become more available.

3564
01:40:37,684 --> 01:40:39,652
Um, thank you, I rest.

3565
01:40:39,652 --> 01:40:43,252
Ok, and uh council member lines.

3566
01:40:45,925 --> 01:40:46,459
Thank you Mayor, um, I

3567
01:40:46,459 --> 01:40:47,260
m, I

3568
01:40:47,260 --> 01:40:48,270
m,

3569
01:40:48,270 --> 01:40:49,862
I wanna thank the public for

3570
01:40:49,862 --> 01:40:51,640
being here. I really feel like

3571
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:52,532
this opportunity for everyone

3572
01:40:52,532 --> 01:40:53,900
to speak was really valuable,

3573
01:40:53,900 --> 01:40:56,302
and I appreciated all your

3574
01:40:56,302 --> 01:40:57,937
comments. Thank you. I always

3575
01:40:57,937 --> 01:40:59,339
learned a lot and, um, thank

3576
01:40:59,339 --> 01:41:00,740
you for putting the effort into

3577
01:41:00,740 --> 01:41:02,740
coming.

3578
01:41:05,790 --> 01:41:07,470
Um, so I, I do want to, uh,

3579
01:41:07,470 --> 01:41:07,314
start by saying I appreciate my

3580
01:41:07,314 --> 01:41:08,949
colleague

3581
01:41:08,949 --> 01:41:11,450
s comments so far. Um,

3582
01:41:11,450 --> 01:41:12,986
I will make it 3 so far that

3583
01:41:12,986 --> 01:41:13,186
are really, that, uh, I

3584
01:41:13,186 --> 01:41:14,388
m

3585
01:41:14,388 --> 01:41:15,389
really in support of some of

3586
01:41:15,389 --> 01:41:15,822
the things they

3587
01:41:15,822 --> 01:41:17,822
ve already

3588
01:41:17,824 --> 01:41:21,424
suggested, and, uh, so what I

3589
01:41:21,428 --> 01:41:24,965
wanted to, uh, to do is to

3590
01:41:24,965 --> 01:41:25,232
first just say that I share the

3591
01:41:25,232 --> 01:41:26,667
community

3592
01:41:26,667 --> 01:41:29,670
s concern about the

3593
01:41:29,169 --> 01:41:30,738
safety of our children, and I

3594
01:41:30,738 --> 01:41:32,439
feel where, where my

3595
01:41:32,439 --> 01:41:33,707
through line is on roadway

3596
01:41:33,707 --> 01:41:34,308
safety has to do with our

3597
01:41:34,308 --> 01:41:34,775
children, and we

3598
01:41:34,775 --> 01:41:36,410
re in the

3599
01:41:36,410 --> 01:41:38,479
position where we can lead as

3600
01:41:38,479 --> 01:41:40,548
the governing body, and I, I do

3601
01:41:40,548 --> 01:41:41,982
want to see us take some action

3602
01:41:41,982 --> 01:41:43,982
at this juncture.

3603
01:41:44,385 --> 01:41:46,286
Um, right now, also, staff is

3604
01:41:46,286 --> 01:41:47,187
bringing this forward to us to

3605
01:41:47,187 --> 01:41:47,360
say, oh, these are the things

3606
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:48,255
we

3607
01:41:48,255 --> 01:41:48,723
ve done, and we

3608
01:41:48,723 --> 01:41:49,724
re hearing

3609
01:41:49,724 --> 01:41:50,224
from the public saying these

3610
01:41:50,224 --> 01:41:51,125
are the things we

3611
01:41:51,125 --> 01:41:52,930
d like you to

3612
01:41:52,930 --> 01:41:53,270
do. So we

3613
01:41:53,270 --> 01:41:54,929
re at a juncture

3614
01:41:54,929 --> 01:41:56,164
where we can give staff some

3615
01:41:56,164 --> 01:41:57,464
clear direction. So, I do want

3616
01:41:57,464 --> 01:41:59,367
to leave this meeting with

3617
01:41:59,367 --> 01:42:01,669
giving staff some clear

3618
01:42:01,669 --> 01:42:04,539
direction, um, on where I would

3619
01:42:04,539 --> 01:42:06,273
like to see us move forward and

3620
01:42:06,273 --> 01:42:07,642
also to compliment what my

3621
01:42:07,642 --> 01:42:10,420
colleagues are already saying

3622
01:42:10,111 --> 01:42:12,480
here from the dais. I feel like

3623
01:42:12,480 --> 01:42:15,480
our, uh, sheriff has done.

3624
01:42:15,883 --> 01:42:18,353
A really, really good job.

3625
01:42:18,353 --> 01:42:18,527
Kudos to Captain Watts. Um, I

3626
01:42:18,527 --> 01:42:20,540
d

3627
01:42:20,540 --> 01:42:22,900
like him and his team to

3628
01:42:22,900 --> 01:42:24,626
continue to do a great job and

3629
01:42:24,626 --> 01:42:27,429
be as well funded as we need,

3630
01:42:27,429 --> 01:42:28,964
and I look forward to future

3631
01:42:28,964 --> 01:42:30,498
discussion on that. If more

3632
01:42:30,498 --> 01:42:32,267
funding is valuable and how it

3633
01:42:32,267 --> 01:42:34,168
will be used, I will be open to

3634
01:42:34,168 --> 01:42:36,700
supporting it, but I do wanna

3635
01:42:36,700 --> 01:42:38,474
make sure I give a shout out on

3636
01:42:38,474 --> 01:42:40,676
that. What I would like us to

3637
01:42:40,676 --> 01:42:40,976
do here now then is to do as

3638
01:42:40,976 --> 01:42:42,478
well as he

3639
01:42:42,478 --> 01:42:44,478
s doing, um.

3640
01:42:44,879 --> 01:42:46,848
And that has to do more with

3641
01:42:46,848 --> 01:42:48,784
what action are we going to

3642
01:42:48,784 --> 01:42:50,519
take to have our roadways be

3643
01:42:50,519 --> 01:42:53,519
safer, not just the enforcement.

3644
01:42:53,522 --> 01:42:57,122
I want to start by saying,

3645
01:42:58,560 --> 01:43:00,596
I was at the um mts, uh,

3646
01:43:00,596 --> 01:43:01,964
commission meeting on AUGUST

3647
01:43:01,964 --> 01:43:03,432
10th, where a lot of the

3648
01:43:03,432 --> 01:43:04,567
community came forward to talk

3649
01:43:04,567 --> 01:43:05,568
about their concerns for

3650
01:43:05,568 --> 01:43:06,803
roadway safety, and the

3651
01:43:06,803 --> 01:43:07,837
commission was also talking

3652
01:43:07,837 --> 01:43:09,505
about their work plans. So it

3653
01:43:09,505 --> 01:43:11,107
was really good to hear the

3654
01:43:11,107 --> 01:43:13,676
community concerns. One of my

3655
01:43:13,676 --> 01:43:16,760
friends, Bill Shen, said,

3656
01:43:16,145 --> 01:43:18,547
Something that I think is

3657
01:43:18,547 --> 01:43:20,830
really poignant, and that is

3658
01:43:20,830 --> 01:43:22,519
vehicle drivers go the speed

3659
01:43:22,519 --> 01:43:24,788
the road invites them to go,

3660
01:43:24,788 --> 01:43:25,989
and I, I noted that at the time

3661
01:43:25,989 --> 01:43:26,222
and I thought, well, that

3662
01:43:26,222 --> 01:43:28,222
s

3663
01:43:28,291 --> 01:43:30,920
really another one of my

3664
01:43:30,920 --> 01:43:31,795
guiding principles when the

3665
01:43:31,795 --> 01:43:33,929
roadway allows a driver to go

3666
01:43:33,929 --> 01:43:36,900
fast, they will be invited to

3667
01:43:36,900 --> 01:43:40,203
go fast. And so I will, I will

3668
01:43:40,203 --> 01:43:42,500
place a lot of my emphasis more

3669
01:43:42,500 --> 01:43:43,240
on our roadway design and what

3670
01:43:43,240 --> 01:43:43,806
we can do to make our

3671
01:43:43,806 --> 01:43:45,806
pedestrians.

3672
01:43:46,376 --> 01:43:48,245
And our bicycles safer

3673
01:43:48,245 --> 01:43:48,427
Uh, I also support the fact

3674
01:43:48,427 --> 01:43:49,613
we

3675
01:43:49,613 --> 01:43:51,715
ve done a lot of research on

3676
01:43:51,715 --> 01:43:53,383
this already. We already have a

3677
01:43:53,383 --> 01:43:55,419
couple of data-driven documents.

3678
01:43:55,419 --> 01:43:57,988
The local road safety plan is

3679
01:43:57,988 --> 01:44:00,958
the one that was approved in

3680
01:44:00,958 --> 01:44:02,760
2022 and it has some really

3681
01:44:02,760 --> 01:44:03,727
outstanding, uh, data.

3682
01:44:03,727 --> 01:44:04,995
Uh, I just, I

3683
01:44:04,995 --> 01:44:07,970
ll just call to a

3684
01:44:07,970 --> 01:44:09,367
few things and then suggest

3685
01:44:09,367 --> 01:44:11,101
that we might consider these as

3686
01:44:11,101 --> 01:44:13,570
we go forward, looking at what

3687
01:44:13,570 --> 01:44:15,472
we do to make our pedestrian

3688
01:44:15,472 --> 01:44:17,308
and bicyclists safer on the

3689
01:44:17,308 --> 01:44:18,910
roadway and thus make everyone

3690
01:44:18,910 --> 01:44:21,178
safer on the roadway.

3691
01:44:21,178 --> 01:44:23,114
For example, in this

3692
01:44:23,114 --> 01:44:25,249
data-driven document, they have

3693
01:44:25,249 --> 01:44:27,118
safety measures or what they

3694
01:44:27,118 --> 01:44:29,518
call countermeasures, and they

3695
01:44:29,654 --> 01:44:31,455
recommend, uh, these, uh,

3696
01:44:31,455 --> 01:44:33,855
projects, specific projects for

3697
01:44:34,291 --> 01:44:36,691
funding. For example, they

3698
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:38,162
articulate signal timing. They

3699
01:44:38,162 --> 01:44:39,964
articulate this document

3700
01:44:39,964 --> 01:44:41,320
articulates dilemma zones,

3701
01:44:41,320 --> 01:44:42,733
dilemma zones are where there

3702
01:44:42,733 --> 01:44:43,368
are a lot of an intersection

3703
01:44:43,368 --> 01:44:44,669
where there

3704
01:44:44,669 --> 01:44:46,938
s a lot happening.

3705
01:44:46,938 --> 01:44:49,174
Uh, they articulate bite boxes.

3706
01:44:49,174 --> 01:44:50,909
They articulate, uh, bike.

3707
01:44:50,909 --> 01:44:54,509
Markings and maybe the one I

3708
01:44:55,180 --> 01:44:57,140
want to land on is they, um,

3709
01:44:57,140 --> 01:44:58,517
outlined pedestrian crossings

3710
01:44:58,517 --> 01:45:00,318
with enhancements, the safety

3711
01:45:00,318 --> 01:45:01,753
measures associated with

3712
01:45:01,753 --> 01:45:03,422
pedestrian crossings at

3713
01:45:03,422 --> 01:45:05,422
intersections or wherever

3714
01:45:05,524 --> 01:45:06,891
pedestrians are crossing, and

3715
01:45:06,891 --> 01:45:08,927
the projects that are

3716
01:45:08,927 --> 01:45:10,462
articulated in this document

3717
01:45:10,462 --> 01:45:12,330
that at that time were

3718
01:45:12,330 --> 01:45:15,200
suggested to move forward as

3719
01:45:15,200 --> 01:45:17,600
the highest priority locations

3720
01:45:20,172 --> 01:45:20,739
only cost $292,000. So, um, I

3721
01:45:20,739 --> 01:45:22,739
wanted to.

3722
01:45:22,974 --> 01:45:25,210
Show that as an example of if

3723
01:45:25,210 --> 01:45:26,879
we really focus on where get

3724
01:45:26,879 --> 01:45:27,790
get staff to come back as we

3725
01:45:27,790 --> 01:45:27,880
re

3726
01:45:27,880 --> 01:45:29,315
talking about, you know,

3727
01:45:29,315 --> 01:45:29,548
looking at this document, maybe

3728
01:45:29,548 --> 01:45:30,483
we don

3729
01:45:30,483 --> 01:45:30,683
t need a full update

3730
01:45:30,683 --> 01:45:31,918
that

3731
01:45:31,918 --> 01:45:33,719
s going to take 9 months,

3732
01:45:33,719 --> 01:45:35,220
but maybe what we do is look at

3733
01:45:35,220 --> 01:45:37,230
this document, identify where

3734
01:45:37,230 --> 01:45:38,224
those top priorities are and

3735
01:45:38,224 --> 01:45:39,959
then challenge ourselves to

3736
01:45:39,959 --> 01:45:41,828
find the funding right away.

3737
01:45:41,828 --> 01:45:43,262
Sometimes it might just be

3738
01:45:43,262 --> 01:45:45,198
signal timing. Sometimes it

3739
01:45:45,198 --> 01:45:47,333
might just be the advanced

3740
01:45:47,333 --> 01:45:48,668
timing on the pedestrian

3741
01:45:48,668 --> 01:45:49,680
activated lights. Let

3742
01:45:49,680 --> 01:45:49,277
s find

3743
01:45:49,277 --> 01:45:50,336
that.

3744
01:45:50,336 --> 01:45:50,670
Lowest hanging fruit, and let

3745
01:45:50,670 --> 01:45:52,205
s

3746
01:45:52,205 --> 01:45:53,106
go for it right away. Let

3747
01:45:53,106 --> 01:45:55,106
s

3748
01:45:56,900 --> 01:45:59,790
take action. Um, and so I would,

3749
01:45:59,790 --> 01:46:02,820
I would be in support of

3750
01:46:02,820 --> 01:46:04,217
focusing on um these pedestrian

3751
01:46:04,217 --> 01:46:04,394
crossings at intersections, and

3752
01:46:04,394 --> 01:46:05,485
I

3753
01:46:05,485 --> 01:46:06,820
d be happy to consider

3754
01:46:06,820 --> 01:46:08,540
additional funding and how we

3755
01:46:08,540 --> 01:46:08,855
can move this forward as soon

3756
01:46:08,855 --> 01:46:09,623
as possible. I

3757
01:46:09,623 --> 01:46:11,623
ll rest.

3758
01:46:15,610 --> 01:46:17,610
Cap.

3759
01:46:17,997 --> 01:46:19,566
Ok, uh, council member of San

3760
01:46:19,566 --> 01:46:20,968
Antonio, thank you. Uh, thank

3761
01:46:20,968 --> 01:46:22,502
you, Mayor. Um, I just wanna

3762
01:46:22,502 --> 01:46:24,204
say thank you, uh, thank you,

3763
01:46:24,204 --> 01:46:26,540
staff. Thank you, Dan, thank

3764
01:46:26,540 --> 01:46:27,974
you, Captain Watts for the

3765
01:46:27,974 --> 01:46:29,420
excellent report. Thank you for

3766
01:46:29,420 --> 01:46:31,420
what.

3767
01:46:31,612 --> 01:46:32,813
You guys do for the city, um,

3768
01:46:32,813 --> 01:46:33,914
obviously, the numbers show

3769
01:46:33,914 --> 01:46:35,916
that you guys are doing

3770
01:46:35,916 --> 01:46:37,417
wonderful, um, work for the

3771
01:46:37,417 --> 01:46:38,352
city. Dan, great job on getting

3772
01:46:38,352 --> 01:46:38,554
this report together. I know

3773
01:46:38,554 --> 01:46:40,554
that

3774
01:46:41,622 --> 01:46:43,290
s a lot of work and I.

3775
01:46:43,290 --> 01:46:44,425
I believe that we are doing a

3776
01:46:44,425 --> 01:46:46,425
lot.

3777
01:46:46,560 --> 01:46:47,661
But can we be doing more?

3778
01:46:47,661 --> 01:46:48,620
Of course, that is what we

3779
01:46:48,620 --> 01:46:49,950
re

3780
01:46:49,950 --> 01:46:49,997
here for. We

3781
01:46:49,997 --> 01:46:50,932
re here to

3782
01:46:50,932 --> 01:46:51,432
continue the work. We

3783
01:46:51,432 --> 01:46:52,967
re here

3784
01:46:52,967 --> 01:46:53,164
to continue to build on what

3785
01:46:53,164 --> 01:46:54,869
we

3786
01:46:54,869 --> 01:46:55,670
ve done now into the future,

3787
01:46:55,670 --> 01:46:57,137
um.

3788
01:46:57,137 --> 01:46:59,137
I think

3789
01:46:59,206 --> 01:47:00,942
Everyone here in this room.

3790
01:47:00,942 --> 01:47:03,611
Is here for the same thing.

3791
01:47:03,611 --> 01:47:05,113
Fewer injuries.

3792
01:47:05,113 --> 01:47:05,412
I, I believe in Vision Zero. I

3793
01:47:05,412 --> 01:47:06,180
believe it

3794
01:47:06,180 --> 01:47:06,365
s, I do, I think

3795
01:47:06,365 --> 01:47:08,365
it

3796
01:47:08,550 --> 01:47:09,550
s possible. I, I truly in my

3797
01:47:09,550 --> 01:47:10,170
heart, I, that

3798
01:47:10,170 --> 01:47:10,385
s the, that

3799
01:47:10,385 --> 01:47:10,985
s

3800
01:47:10,985 --> 01:47:11,453
the goal. That

3801
01:47:11,453 --> 01:47:12,587
s where we want

3802
01:47:12,587 --> 01:47:13,788
to shoot for. So we want to

3803
01:47:13,788 --> 01:47:15,290
shoot for that goal.

3804
01:47:15,290 --> 01:47:15,957
Um,

3805
01:47:15,957 --> 01:47:17,359
So I, I don

3806
01:47:17,359 --> 01:47:17,858
t, I don

3807
01:47:17,858 --> 01:47:19,327
t brush

3808
01:47:19,327 --> 01:47:19,861
vision zero off. I think it

3809
01:47:19,861 --> 01:47:20,862
s

3810
01:47:20,862 --> 01:47:21,162
an important goal. I think it

3811
01:47:21,162 --> 01:47:22,664
s

3812
01:47:22,664 --> 01:47:23,665
something we should be shooting

3813
01:47:23,665 --> 01:47:25,665
for, um,

3814
01:47:26,334 --> 01:47:29,270
is no road deaths. Nobody wants

3815
01:47:29,270 --> 01:47:29,638
My kids are 3 and 5. My 5 year

3816
01:47:29,638 --> 01:47:30,305
old thinks he

3817
01:47:30,305 --> 01:47:30,492
s, you know, he

3818
01:47:30,492 --> 01:47:32,140
s

3819
01:47:32,140 --> 01:47:33,800
a teenager now. He wants more

3820
01:47:33,800 --> 01:47:33,774
and more.

3821
01:47:33,774 --> 01:47:35,774
Uh,

3822
01:47:35,944 --> 01:47:37,813
Rope to go down the hill to go

3823
01:47:37,813 --> 01:47:39,248
over here to go, and I, I live

3824
01:47:39,248 --> 01:47:41,583
off El Caminolo Don Norte, so

3825
01:47:41,583 --> 01:47:43,919
my sister lives on Cole Ranch,

3826
01:47:43,919 --> 01:47:44,219
um, and Lone Jack, so.

3827
01:47:44,219 --> 01:47:45,870
That doesn

3828
01:47:45,870 --> 01:47:46,421
t seem that far when

3829
01:47:46,421 --> 01:47:46,609
we walk over there, but I know

3830
01:47:46,609 --> 01:47:47,990
it

3831
01:47:47,990 --> 01:47:49,358
s just a matter of time. He

3832
01:47:49,358 --> 01:47:50,826
already went too far.

3833
01:47:50,826 --> 01:47:52,394
Sorry to go on a tangent here,

3834
01:47:52,394 --> 01:47:53,895
but he already went too far and

3835
01:47:53,895 --> 01:47:55,630
we let that leash out a little

3836
01:47:55,630 --> 01:47:56,198
bit too, too much. He went

3837
01:47:56,198 --> 01:47:57,650
someplace he wasn

3838
01:47:57,650 --> 01:47:58,533
t supposed to

3839
01:47:58,533 --> 01:47:58,734
be. So that alone for me,

3840
01:47:58,734 --> 01:47:59,368
that

3841
01:47:59,368 --> 01:47:59,568
s like one of those things

3842
01:47:59,568 --> 01:48:00,870
that

3843
01:48:00,870 --> 01:48:02,805
s like, oh.

3844
01:48:02,805 --> 01:48:03,840
A tense moment like.

3845
01:48:03,840 --> 01:48:04,139
That that could easily happen.

3846
01:48:04,139 --> 01:48:05,841
And that

3847
01:48:05,841 --> 01:48:08,241
s what makes that.

3848
01:48:08,310 --> 01:48:10,179
You know, the, I think it was,

3849
01:48:10,179 --> 01:48:12,115
uh, some, somebody, a gentleman

3850
01:48:12,115 --> 01:48:14,650
brought up our first Paul, um,

3851
01:48:14,650 --> 01:48:16,850
that.

3852
01:48:16,850 --> 01:48:16,853
Signalize light coming up when

3853
01:48:16,853 --> 01:48:17,120
you push the button that it

3854
01:48:17,120 --> 01:48:19,120
s

3855
01:48:19,589 --> 01:48:21,557
actually, uh, ahead of that in,

3856
01:48:21,557 --> 01:48:22,926
um, that rfp.

3857
01:48:22,926 --> 01:48:25,295
Great idea. I mean, I thought

3858
01:48:25,295 --> 01:48:26,229
that was a wonderful idea.

3859
01:48:26,229 --> 01:48:26,495
Um, because you

3860
01:48:26,495 --> 01:48:27,830
re right,

3861
01:48:27,830 --> 01:48:28,731
people drive. I, when I leave

3862
01:48:28,731 --> 01:48:30,367
that our neighborhood and I

3863
01:48:30,367 --> 01:48:32,301
drive down that that road.

3864
01:48:32,301 --> 01:48:34,701
People, people do, I.

3865
01:48:35,400 --> 01:48:37,941
Go down that road pretty quick.

3866
01:48:37,941 --> 01:48:39,900
Um, I actually saw one of my

3867
01:48:39,900 --> 01:48:40,430
neighbors with Bruce

3868
01:48:40,430 --> 01:48:41,878
s um speed

3869
01:48:41,878 --> 01:48:42,813
gun at the corner, clocking

3870
01:48:42,813 --> 01:48:43,913
people when I left my

3871
01:48:43,913 --> 01:48:45,282
neighborhood one day, um, and

3872
01:48:45,282 --> 01:48:45,782
he stopped me. He was like,

3873
01:48:45,782 --> 01:48:46,650
Marco, look what I

3874
01:48:46,650 --> 01:48:48,650
m doing.

3875
01:48:49,219 --> 01:48:50,287
Um,

3876
01:48:50,287 --> 01:48:50,529
So everybody here, I know we

3877
01:48:50,529 --> 01:48:50,720
re,

3878
01:48:50,720 --> 01:48:52,122
we

3879
01:48:52,122 --> 01:48:54,900
re all here for the, for the,

3880
01:48:54,900 --> 01:48:54,525
for the same reason. I

3881
01:48:54,525 --> 01:48:55,225
m not

3882
01:48:55,225 --> 01:48:55,826
here to say I

3883
01:48:55,826 --> 01:48:56,400
m right, you

3884
01:48:56,400 --> 01:48:56,659
re

3885
01:48:56,659 --> 01:48:57,861
wrong, I

3886
01:48:57,861 --> 01:49:00,397
m here because I want

3887
01:49:00,397 --> 01:49:01,799
to continue the work that we.

3888
01:49:01,799 --> 01:49:04,134
We are here talking about

3889
01:49:04,134 --> 01:49:05,202
I think, uh,

3890
01:49:05,202 --> 01:49:05,636
When I think about what

3891
01:49:05,636 --> 01:49:07,636
s

3892
01:49:08,390 --> 01:49:09,473
happening right now, I love

3893
01:49:09,473 --> 01:49:11,141
hearing the community come

3894
01:49:11,141 --> 01:49:12,243
forward with your ideas and the

3895
01:49:12,243 --> 01:49:14,243
evaluation, Mike.

3896
01:49:14,478 --> 01:49:16,347
I always love talking to you.

3897
01:49:16,347 --> 01:49:17,548
Um, you have a lot of great

3898
01:49:17,548 --> 01:49:20,318
input and I love what, what you,

3899
01:49:20,318 --> 01:49:21,618
the, the passion you bring, um,

3900
01:49:21,618 --> 01:49:23,988
so I always welcome those talks.

3901
01:49:23,988 --> 01:49:25,957
I,, I, I love talking to Laura.

3902
01:49:25,957 --> 01:49:28,459
I, I can sit here and, and name

3903
01:49:28,459 --> 01:49:30,762
off people. I went on a bike

3904
01:49:30,762 --> 01:49:33,162
ride with another concerned

3905
01:49:36,670 --> 01:49:38,300
citizen, um, and I very spry,

3906
01:49:38,300 --> 01:49:39,938
took me from Santaguido up and

3907
01:49:39,938 --> 01:49:40,972
over the hill up to Riquesa. I

3908
01:49:40,972 --> 01:49:42,600
think she was trying to

3909
01:49:42,600 --> 01:49:42,374
actually kill me because she,

3910
01:49:42,374 --> 01:49:43,441
the amount.

3911
01:49:43,441 --> 01:49:45,844
Time she took me over this hill

3912
01:49:45,844 --> 01:49:47,312
was.

3913
01:49:47,312 --> 01:49:50,581
Insurmountable for me but I did

3914
01:49:50,581 --> 01:49:52,484
it and I lived. But I did see.

3915
01:49:52,484 --> 01:49:52,784
From her point of view and from

3916
01:49:52,784 --> 01:49:53,617
the biker

3917
01:49:53,617 --> 01:49:55,387
s point of view, what

3918
01:49:55,387 --> 01:49:58,323
that, what these roads do look

3919
01:49:58,323 --> 01:50:00,826
like, and it makes sense to me,

3920
01:50:00,826 --> 01:50:01,326
um, I, along with what, um,

3921
01:50:01,326 --> 01:50:02,194
Deputy Mayor o

3922
01:50:02,194 --> 01:50:03,161
Hara and um

3923
01:50:03,161 --> 01:50:05,464
council member Schaffer bring

3924
01:50:05,464 --> 01:50:06,131
up the safer routes off the

3925
01:50:06,131 --> 01:50:06,831
main roads. That

3926
01:50:06,831 --> 01:50:07,699
s exactly what

3927
01:50:07,699 --> 01:50:08,434
I think when I talked about

3928
01:50:08,434 --> 01:50:10,434
with.

3929
01:50:10,803 --> 01:50:12,700
Um, our concerned citizens are

3930
01:50:12,700 --> 01:50:12,905
concerned biker that it made so

3931
01:50:12,905 --> 01:50:15,140
much sense to me when I

3932
01:50:15,140 --> 01:50:15,908
actually wrote it that.

3933
01:50:15,908 --> 01:50:17,609
There are issues here that we

3934
01:50:17,609 --> 01:50:18,244
can fix.

3935
01:50:18,244 --> 01:50:20,460
Um, and I

3936
01:50:20,460 --> 01:50:21,480
ll take that with me

3937
01:50:21,480 --> 01:50:22,681
just from that first, firsthand,

3938
01:50:22,681 --> 01:50:24,817
that first person point of view.

3939
01:50:24,817 --> 01:50:25,100
Um,

3940
01:50:25,100 --> 01:50:26,752
Let

3941
01:50:26,752 --> 01:50:27,853
s see here.

3942
01:50:27,853 --> 01:50:29,254
Um, again, I

3943
01:50:29,254 --> 01:50:29,689
m not trying to

3944
01:50:29,689 --> 01:50:30,323
say we

3945
01:50:30,323 --> 01:50:31,690
re doing everything

3946
01:50:31,690 --> 01:50:33,192
possible, but

3947
01:50:33,192 --> 01:50:33,626
The amount of things that we

3948
01:50:33,626 --> 01:50:34,660
ve

3949
01:50:34,660 --> 01:50:34,860
listed off here, it, it

3950
01:50:34,860 --> 01:50:35,940
s, it

3951
01:50:35,940 --> 01:50:36,529
s

3952
01:50:36,529 --> 01:50:38,931
quite a bit, and I, you know, I

3953
01:50:38,931 --> 01:50:40,366
look at the 4 priorities of

3954
01:50:40,366 --> 01:50:42,350
safe streets, speeding

3955
01:50:42,350 --> 01:50:42,902
intersections, DUIs, distracted

3956
01:50:42,902 --> 01:50:43,269
driving. I know we

3957
01:50:43,269 --> 01:50:43,449
ve we

3958
01:50:43,449 --> 01:50:44,570
ve

3959
01:50:44,570 --> 01:50:45,438
listed all of these things on

3960
01:50:45,438 --> 01:50:45,641
here, of all the things we

3961
01:50:45,641 --> 01:50:47,440
ve

3962
01:50:47,440 --> 01:50:48,641
done to

3963
01:50:48,641 --> 01:50:51,641
To mitigate these things or

3964
01:50:51,811 --> 01:50:52,479
help them or try to fix them

3965
01:50:52,479 --> 01:50:53,846
and again, we

3966
01:50:53,846 --> 01:50:54,460
ve done a lot.

3967
01:50:54,460 --> 01:50:55,815
There

3968
01:50:55,815 --> 01:50:56,116
s more to be done, and I

3969
01:50:56,116 --> 01:50:57,250
think that

3970
01:50:57,250 --> 01:50:59,152
s where I, I keep

3971
01:50:59,152 --> 01:51:00,520
going back to is I know that it

3972
01:51:00,520 --> 01:51:00,718
keeps coming back to.

3973
01:51:00,718 --> 01:51:01,888
You

3974
01:51:01,888 --> 01:51:03,990
re not doing enough or we

3975
01:51:03,990 --> 01:51:06,293
need to do more, but our work

3976
01:51:06,293 --> 01:51:07,600
is never done here. We could

3977
01:51:07,600 --> 01:51:08,695
probably stop talking about

3978
01:51:08,695 --> 01:51:10,230
this, get something passed, and

3979
01:51:10,230 --> 01:51:11,131
stop talking about it, but

3980
01:51:11,131 --> 01:51:11,565
something else will happen or

3981
01:51:11,565 --> 01:51:13,565
we

01:51:13,734 --> 01:51:16,169

3983
01:51:16,169 --> 01:51:16,379

3988
01:51:21,475 --> 01:51:21,941
button topic.

s campaign season. This

3997
01:51:31,719 --> 01:51:32,720
might kill me. But what it, it

3998
01:51:32,720 --> 01:51:33,720

3999
01:51:33,720 --> 01:51:34,121

4016
01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:49,470

s just at

4021
01:51:53,140 --> 01:51:53,320

01:51:53,320 --> 01:51:53,540
Let

4023
01:51:53,540 --> 01:51:53,875

4026
01:51:55,543 --> 01:51:57,943
real look at it.

4027
01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:01,249
Um,

4028
01:52:01,249 --> 01:52:02,650
I think we, I think.

4029
01:52:02,650 --> 01:52:03,218
Uh

4030
01:52:03,218 --> 01:52:04,119
Again, I, I

4031
01:52:04,119 --> 01:52:04,686
ll just say this

4032
01:52:04,686 --> 01:52:05,186
also as well, so I

4033
01:52:05,186 --> 01:52:05,363
ll, and then

4034
01:52:05,363 --> 01:52:05,620
I

4035
01:52:05,620 --> 01:52:07,210
ll, I

4036
01:52:07,210 --> 01:52:07,255
ll, uh, and we

4037
01:52:07,255 --> 01:52:09,255
re short

4038
01:52:09,423 --> 01:52:10,358
on time. Um, I would support,

4039
01:52:10,358 --> 01:52:12,394
you know, additional traffic

4040
01:52:12,394 --> 01:52:13,861
deputies. I, I know that

4041
01:52:13,861 --> 01:52:15,263
traffic the behavior when I see

4042
01:52:15,263 --> 01:52:15,731
a cop, I know I, I don

4043
01:52:15,731 --> 01:52:17,132
t drive

4044
01:52:17,132 --> 01:52:19,968
fast, but I mean, I, I want to

4045
01:52:19,968 --> 01:52:21,803
lead by example, so I, I try to

4046
01:52:21,803 --> 01:52:22,738
really try to slow myself down

4047
01:52:22,738 --> 01:52:23,380
in my van, even when i

4048
01:52:23,380 --> 01:52:24,439
m going

4049
01:52:24,439 --> 01:52:25,174
downhill on Riquesa, I can just

4050
01:52:25,174 --> 01:52:25,384
not press on the gas. I

4051
01:52:25,384 --> 01:52:25,574
m, I

4052
01:52:25,574 --> 01:52:26,208
m

4053
01:52:26,208 --> 01:52:27,876
already speeding.

4054
01:52:27,876 --> 01:52:29,778
So I try to lead by example

4055
01:52:29,778 --> 01:52:30,120
because just like Bruce.

4056
01:52:30,120 --> 01:52:30,546
I don

4057
01:52:30,546 --> 01:52:31,546
t want to be the one

4058
01:52:31,546 --> 01:52:32,848
going, hey, that was a mayor

4059
01:52:32,848 --> 01:52:33,949
driving by. That was a council

4060
01:52:33,949 --> 01:52:36,251
member driving by. He just sped

4061
01:52:36,251 --> 01:52:37,119
right by me.

4062
01:52:37,119 --> 01:52:38,687
So, um, I

4063
01:52:38,687 --> 01:52:40,421
ll rest there, but.

4064
01:52:40,421 --> 01:52:40,596
I really do think this, whether

4065
01:52:40,596 --> 01:52:40,765
we

4066
01:52:40,765 --> 01:52:41,857
re it

4067
01:52:41,857 --> 01:52:42,900
s like, it feels like

4068
01:52:42,900 --> 01:52:42,591
it

4069
01:52:42,591 --> 01:52:43,224
s this. I don

4070
01:52:43,224 --> 01:52:43,398
t, I don

4071
01:52:43,398 --> 01:52:44,627
t

4072
01:52:44,627 --> 01:52:46,929
feel that. What I feel is like

4073
01:52:46,929 --> 01:52:48,830
you guys are giving us what we

4074
01:52:48,830 --> 01:52:51,433
need to hear and that maybe

4075
01:52:51,433 --> 01:52:52,300
that bit of abrasion or whatnot

4076
01:52:52,300 --> 01:52:53,836
with the way, however you wanna

4077
01:52:53,836 --> 01:52:54,837
to word it, gives us the, the

4078
01:52:54,837 --> 01:52:55,704
impetus to be like, all right,

4079
01:52:55,704 --> 01:52:57,640
like,

4080
01:52:57,640 --> 01:52:59,275
We gotta do more.

4081
01:52:59,275 --> 01:53:00,760
So, uh, I

4082
01:53:00,760 --> 01:53:00,476
ll rest. Ok. And

4083
01:53:00,476 --> 01:53:02,476
Deputy Mayor o

4084
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:06,549
Hara.

4085
01:53:06,549 --> 01:53:07,984
Um, I wanna thank everybody for

4086
01:53:07,984 --> 01:53:09,986
their input today. Thank the

4087
01:53:09,986 --> 01:53:11,187
public for showing up today and

4088
01:53:11,187 --> 01:53:11,788
really participating. Um, I

4089
01:53:11,788 --> 01:53:12,388
think we all, it

4090
01:53:12,388 --> 01:53:14,690
s clear we all,

4091
01:53:14,690 --> 01:53:15,258
we all share your, your

4092
01:53:15,258 --> 01:53:16,192
concerns. It

4093
01:53:16,192 --> 01:53:18,192
s never-ending

4094
01:53:18,928 --> 01:53:21,230
task for us up here, um.

4095
01:53:21,230 --> 01:53:23,199
I wanna

4096
01:53:23,199 --> 01:53:24,534
Cover a couple of quick things

4097
01:53:24,534 --> 01:53:24,801
that, that I think aren

4098
01:53:24,801 --> 01:53:26,436
t on

4099
01:53:26,436 --> 01:53:28,436
this report.

4100
01:53:28,605 --> 01:53:29,139
And, you know, one is, I think,

4101
01:53:29,139 --> 01:53:30,906
um,

4102
01:53:30,906 --> 01:53:32,906
You know,

4103
01:53:33,760 --> 01:53:34,378
Certainly

4104
01:53:34,378 --> 01:53:36,113
When I walked in the building,

4105
01:53:36,113 --> 01:53:38,480
um,

4106
01:53:38,480 --> 01:53:40,684
a couple of years ago, I felt

4107
01:53:40,684 --> 01:53:41,718
like staff looked at unique

4108
01:53:41,718 --> 01:53:43,420
situational approaches to

4109
01:53:43,420 --> 01:53:44,220
things and individual sites,

4110
01:53:44,220 --> 01:53:45,322
intersections, intersection

4111
01:53:45,322 --> 01:53:45,822
where piecemelling a city

4112
01:53:45,822 --> 01:53:47,623
together.

4113
01:53:47,623 --> 01:53:49,893
Um, and I look at the things

4114
01:53:49,893 --> 01:53:51,561
like the csap and the, the

4115
01:53:51,561 --> 01:53:52,462
local roadway projects and, uh,

4116
01:53:52,462 --> 01:53:53,830
the other products and I look

4117
01:53:53,830 --> 01:53:54,765
at the circulation element

4118
01:53:54,765 --> 01:53:56,100
coming back and with the

4119
01:53:56,100 --> 01:53:57,168
partnership of council member

4120
01:53:57,168 --> 01:53:58,169
Chief are really pushing that

4121
01:53:58,169 --> 01:54:00,904
circulation. I want to come

4122
01:54:00,904 --> 01:54:01,839
back. We see this more holistic

4123
01:54:01,839 --> 01:54:02,273
plan coming together and it

4124
01:54:02,273 --> 01:54:03,407
s a

4125
01:54:03,407 --> 01:54:06,407
compliment to staff on their

4126
01:54:06,710 --> 01:54:08,512
hard work on it. Um, and while

4127
01:54:08,512 --> 01:54:10,180
we do address situational

4128
01:54:10,180 --> 01:54:10,353
pieces in there. Um, the city

4129
01:54:10,353 --> 01:54:11,415
s

4130
01:54:11,415 --> 01:54:12,984
approach has become more

4131
01:54:12,984 --> 01:54:14,218
systemic and looking at the

4132
01:54:14,218 --> 01:54:15,119
whole picture and within that,

4133
01:54:15,119 --> 01:54:17,119
the goal is 0.

4134
01:54:17,121 --> 01:54:19,157
Death. The goal is always zero

4135
01:54:19,157 --> 01:54:19,350
deaths to our ability.

4136
01:54:19,350 --> 01:54:20,158
It

4137
01:54:20,158 --> 01:54:20,824
s a shared responsibility

4138
01:54:20,824 --> 01:54:22,360
between the government and the

4139
01:54:22,360 --> 01:54:24,360
public.

4140
01:54:24,796 --> 01:54:26,698
Um, I have an 11 year old

4141
01:54:26,698 --> 01:54:27,332
daughter, and just like anyone

4142
01:54:27,332 --> 01:54:28,166
else here, I don

4143
01:54:28,166 --> 01:54:29,567
t live on a

4144
01:54:29,567 --> 01:54:30,201
busy street in Maine Arterial

4145
01:54:30,201 --> 01:54:30,602
in the city because I don

4146
01:54:30,602 --> 01:54:31,302
t

4147
01:54:31,302 --> 01:54:32,137
want my daughter playing on a,

4148
01:54:32,137 --> 01:54:33,380
on a busy street. I want to be

4149
01:54:33,380 --> 01:54:34,372
able to go out and play in the

4150
01:54:34,372 --> 01:54:35,540
middle of the street like you

4151
01:54:35,540 --> 01:54:37,308
see in movies. Um, even within

4152
01:54:37,308 --> 01:54:39,177
that, I live on a quiet street.

4153
01:54:39,177 --> 01:54:40,245
She has to go 400 yards up the

4154
01:54:40,245 --> 01:54:40,979
street so that she can see any

4155
01:54:40,979 --> 01:54:42,314
car that comes around the

4156
01:54:42,314 --> 01:54:44,282
corner and they can say, game

4157
01:54:44,282 --> 01:54:46,118
on, and hop off. When she

4158
01:54:46,118 --> 01:54:47,886
crosses our street.

4159
01:54:47,886 --> 01:54:50,522
Yell out the kitchen window.

4160
01:54:50,522 --> 01:54:50,765
Look both ways.

4161
01:54:50,765 --> 01:54:51,557
It

4162
01:54:51,557 --> 01:54:52,490
s never ending. It

4163
01:54:52,490 --> 01:54:53,592
s a

4164
01:54:53,592 --> 01:54:54,493
shared responsibility between

4165
01:54:54,493 --> 01:54:55,894
everybody using the road. And

4166
01:54:55,894 --> 01:54:56,128
we all realize that up here,

4167
01:54:56,128 --> 01:54:56,895
and we

4168
01:54:56,895 --> 01:54:57,796
re all working to move

4169
01:54:57,796 --> 01:54:59,864
forward with that, with its

4170
01:54:59,864 --> 01:55:01,100
pedestrians.

4171
01:55:01,100 --> 01:55:03,402
Cyclist vehicles and how they

4172
01:55:03,402 --> 01:55:04,536
all interact together.

4173
01:55:04,536 --> 01:55:05,437
And, and that

4174
01:55:05,437 --> 01:55:07,837
s never messed up

4175
01:55:09,140 --> 01:55:10,142
here by anybody up here, um,

4176
01:55:10,142 --> 01:55:10,743
staff has really bought into

4177
01:55:10,743 --> 01:55:12,210
this idea and and done a

4178
01:55:12,210 --> 01:55:12,444
fantastic job with it. City

4179
01:55:12,444 --> 01:55:13,450
manager

4180
01:55:13,450 --> 01:55:14,980
s office has really

4181
01:55:14,980 --> 01:55:17,817
done a great job on it. Um, and

4182
01:55:17,817 --> 01:55:18,917
I want to touch on the, the

4183
01:55:18,917 --> 01:55:20,219
unique situations like that,

4184
01:55:20,219 --> 01:55:20,620
that is also the second piece

4185
01:55:20,620 --> 01:55:22,620
that isn

4186
01:55:24,230 --> 01:55:24,212
t in there is

4187
01:55:24,212 --> 01:55:25,991
We

4188
01:55:25,991 --> 01:55:27,593
re meeting on site more

4189
01:55:27,593 --> 01:55:27,768
often than ever before, whether

4190
01:55:27,768 --> 01:55:28,494
it

4191
01:55:28,494 --> 01:55:28,687
s a council member, whether

4192
01:55:28,687 --> 01:55:29,996
it

4193
01:55:29,996 --> 01:55:30,186
s a city manager, whether

4194
01:55:30,186 --> 01:55:31,264
it

4195
01:55:31,264 --> 01:55:33,800
s the staff, um, and I can

4196
01:55:33,800 --> 01:55:34,800
look at an example of a great

4197
01:55:34,800 --> 01:55:35,668
example of that is that the

4198
01:55:35,668 --> 01:55:36,502
ymca, where we

4199
01:55:36,502 --> 01:55:37,937
re replacing

4200
01:55:37,937 --> 01:55:39,705
those chicanes with stop signs.

4201
01:55:39,705 --> 01:55:41,541
We met with the ymca Seacrest,

4202
01:55:41,541 --> 01:55:43,142
a number of the neighbors.

4203
01:55:43,142 --> 01:55:44,678
Staff was out there. The city

4204
01:55:44,678 --> 01:55:47,480
manager was out there, myself,

4205
01:55:47,480 --> 01:55:49,480
and we watched.

4206
01:55:49,482 --> 01:55:50,750
A failed infrastructure piece.

4207
01:55:50,750 --> 01:55:51,751
The shakes, we watched cars, we

4208
01:55:51,751 --> 01:55:52,210
watched an nctd bus. I

4209
01:55:52,210 --> 01:55:52,285
m

4210
01:55:52,285 --> 01:55:52,886
ashamed I

4211
01:55:52,886 --> 01:55:53,954
m ashamed to say it,

4212
01:55:53,954 --> 01:55:54,287
drive right over it.

4213
01:55:54,287 --> 01:55:56,287
Like it wasn

4214
01:55:56,356 --> 01:55:58,580
t even there.

4215
01:55:58,580 --> 01:55:59,493
Um, so infrastructure is great.

4216
01:55:59,493 --> 01:56:00,226
But we want to go back and make

4217
01:56:00,226 --> 01:56:01,728
sure it works. And I

4218
01:56:01,728 --> 01:56:02,396
m really

4219
01:56:02,396 --> 01:56:02,696
Glad and you didn

4220
01:56:02,696 --> 01:56:02,895
t put, you

4221
01:56:02,895 --> 01:56:03,597
didn

4222
01:56:03,597 --> 01:56:04,598
t put it on the, on the,

4223
01:56:04,598 --> 01:56:05,165
on the report, but I think you

4224
01:56:05,165 --> 01:56:05,416
should have. Like, you

4225
01:56:05,416 --> 01:56:06,266
re out

4226
01:56:06,266 --> 01:56:07,434
there.

4227
01:56:07,434 --> 01:56:07,767
Checking in on the projects

4228
01:56:07,767 --> 01:56:08,801
that you

4229
01:56:08,801 --> 01:56:09,937
re doing, do they work

4230
01:56:09,937 --> 01:56:11,571
with us and listen to the

4231
01:56:11,571 --> 01:56:11,772
residents on that. And I think

4232
01:56:11,772 --> 01:56:12,639
that

4233
01:56:12,639 --> 01:56:13,974
s a huge step in the right

4234
01:56:13,974 --> 01:56:14,156
direction for all of the stuff

4235
01:56:14,156 --> 01:56:15,408
we

4236
01:56:15,408 --> 01:56:16,910
ve talked about today. Um,

4237
01:56:16,910 --> 01:56:17,910
so, you know, as a result,

4238
01:56:17,910 --> 01:56:18,411
we

4239
01:56:18,411 --> 01:56:19,446
re taking the chicanes out

4240
01:56:19,446 --> 01:56:20,714
with the help of the ymc. We

4241
01:56:20,714 --> 01:56:20,903
came together to put up a stop.

4242
01:56:20,903 --> 01:56:21,849
We

4243
01:56:21,849 --> 01:56:22,549
re going to be putting a

4244
01:56:22,549 --> 01:56:22,849
stop sign, um, and we

4245
01:56:22,849 --> 01:56:23,149
ll go

4246
01:56:23,149 --> 01:56:23,617
back and we

4247
01:56:23,617 --> 01:56:24,170
ll check and see

4248
01:56:24,170 --> 01:56:24,585
how that

4249
01:56:24,585 --> 01:56:26,187
s working. Pedestrian

4250
01:56:26,187 --> 01:56:26,754
island in there, everything. Um,

4251
01:56:26,754 --> 01:56:27,187
so I think that

4252
01:56:27,187 --> 01:56:27,655
s something,

4253
01:56:27,655 --> 01:56:28,220
you know, I, I

4254
01:56:28,220 --> 01:56:28,222
m sure you

4255
01:56:28,222 --> 01:56:28,789
didn

4256
01:56:28,789 --> 01:56:29,123
t want to toot your own

4257
01:56:29,123 --> 01:56:29,790
horn, but I

4258
01:56:29,790 --> 01:56:31,425
m gonna toot it for

4259
01:56:31,425 --> 01:56:32,225
you. I think I really

4260
01:56:32,225 --> 01:56:33,760
appreciate that.

4261
01:56:33,760 --> 01:56:34,896
The staff is going in that

4262
01:56:34,896 --> 01:56:35,730
direction with all these, these

4263
01:56:35,730 --> 01:56:36,864
safety measures and listening

4264
01:56:36,864 --> 01:56:37,640
to our residents and, and what

4265
01:56:37,640 --> 01:56:37,831
they

4266
01:56:37,831 --> 01:56:40,231
re having to say.

4267
01:56:44,505 --> 01:56:46,473
Um,

4268
01:56:46,473 --> 01:56:48,676
I think, you know, I, I think

4269
01:56:48,676 --> 01:56:50,778
those ideas, signal timing,

4270
01:56:50,778 --> 01:56:51,913
dilemma zones, bike boxes, bike

4271
01:56:51,913 --> 01:56:52,880
markings, ped crossing

4272
01:56:52,880 --> 01:56:53,180
enhancements. I think you

4273
01:56:53,180 --> 01:56:54,582
re

4274
01:56:54,582 --> 01:56:55,216
referring to the csap, which is

4275
01:56:55,216 --> 01:56:55,683
on here, and I

4276
01:56:55,683 --> 01:56:55,949
m, I

4277
01:56:55,949 --> 01:56:56,317
m really

4278
01:56:56,317 --> 01:56:56,684
happy that we

4279
01:56:56,684 --> 01:56:57,685
re doing it. I

4280
01:56:57,685 --> 01:56:59,220
know the staff will bring all

4281
01:56:59,220 --> 01:57:00,255
of those back to us.

4282
01:57:00,255 --> 01:57:00,722
As urgently as possible.

4283
01:57:00,722 --> 01:57:00,956
Obviously, that

4284
01:57:00,956 --> 01:57:01,188
s why we

4285
01:57:01,188 --> 01:57:02,990
re

4286
01:57:02,990 --> 01:57:04,926
here, because these things are

4287
01:57:04,926 --> 01:57:07,270
a top priority in the city, so.

4288
01:57:07,270 --> 01:57:07,249
As they come back, uh, I

4289
01:57:07,249 --> 01:57:08,196

4290
01:57:08,196 --> 01:57:09,290
please keep bringing them back

4291
01:57:09,290 --> 01:57:09,330
as quickly as possible, but I

4292
01:57:09,330 --> 01:57:09,898
think you

4293
01:57:09,898 --> 01:57:11,320
re already doing that,

4294
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:11,700
and I expect that to continue.

4295
01:57:11,700 --> 01:57:13,700
So thank you.

4296
01:57:16,204 --> 01:57:17,305
Um,

4316
01:57:42,664 --> 01:57:44,660
rather than get rid of.

4325
01:57:49,994 --> 01:57:51,374
We

4326
01:57:51,374 --> 01:57:51,567

4327
01:57:51,567 --> 01:57:52,141
Let

in that, please send me an

4333
01:57:57,800 --> 01:57:57,713
email. Let

4335
01:57:57,911 --> 01:57:58,347
Let

01:57:58,347 --> 01:57:58,747
s do it. Let

4337
01:57:58,747 --> 01:57:59,449
s go to the

4338
01:57:59,449 --> 01:58:00,490
school board, ask why that

4339
01:58:00,490 --> 01:58:00,483

4340
01:58:00,483 --> 01:58:00,683

that

4342
01:58:01,417 --> 01:58:02,230
s still going forward

4343
01:58:02,230 --> 01:58:02,852
because we

4344
01:58:02,852 --> 01:58:04,187
re all working

4345
01:58:04,187 --> 01:58:05,287
together, the schools residents

4346
01:58:05,287 --> 01:58:06,822
and us, and we want to make

4347
01:58:06,822 --> 01:58:07,230
that happen. So, um, I think

4348
01:58:07,230 --> 01:58:07,757
that

4349
01:58:07,757 --> 01:58:08,691
s an important question.

4350
01:58:08,691 --> 01:58:08,925
It needs to, it

4351
01:58:08,925 --> 01:58:10,260
s worth

4352
01:58:10,260 --> 01:58:11,260
mentioning, um,

4353
01:58:11,260 --> 01:58:11,861
You know, it

4354
01:58:11,861 --> 01:58:12,610
s great that

4355
01:58:12,610 --> 01:58:14,610
there

4356
01:58:14,196 --> 01:58:15,798
s a, uh,

4357
01:58:15,798 --> 01:58:17,300
GoFundMe for Larry the crossing

4358
01:58:17,300 --> 01:58:19,350
guard. Uh, I hope they make it.

4359
01:58:19,350 --> 01:58:20,604
He seems to be a great guy, and

4360
01:58:20,604 --> 01:58:20,904
attribute to the community, um,

4361
01:58:20,904 --> 01:58:21,370
whether it

4362
01:58:21,370 --> 01:58:21,872
s political or not,

4363
01:58:21,872 --> 01:58:22,205
it doesn

4364
01:58:22,205 --> 01:58:22,606
t matter. He

4365
01:58:22,606 --> 01:58:23,373
s a great

4366
01:58:23,373 --> 01:58:23,707
guy. Um, but let

4367
01:58:23,707 --> 01:58:26,107
s get him his

4368
01:58:26,343 --> 01:58:26,599
job back.

4369
01:58:26,599 --> 01:58:28,599
Let

4370
01:58:29,379 --> 01:58:32,349
s do it. Um, so, I, I would

4371
01:58:32,349 --> 01:58:32,522
push for that. Um.

4372
01:58:32,522 --> 01:58:33,817
I

4373
01:58:33,817 --> 01:58:35,585
ll give you another quick

4374
01:58:35,585 --> 01:58:36,953
story. I visited my dad this

4375
01:58:36,953 --> 01:58:38,953
year, um.

4376
01:58:39,823 --> 01:58:44,230
In his town, which is a pretty

4377
01:58:44,194 --> 01:58:46,930
small town. Um, and, um,

4378
01:58:46,930 --> 01:58:48,930
Country roads, uh.

4379
01:58:48,933 --> 01:58:51,135
Not a pedestrian in sight,

4380
01:58:51,135 --> 01:58:52,136
probably not a cyclist in sight,

4381
01:58:52,136 --> 01:58:52,970
um.

4382
01:58:52,970 --> 01:58:54,471
Just the roads you want to have

4383
01:58:54,471 --> 01:58:56,207
like.

4384
01:58:56,207 --> 01:58:58,409
You know, fast rental car and

4385
01:58:58,409 --> 01:58:59,810
hit the gas and go down. Um,

4386
01:58:59,810 --> 01:59:02,810
speed limits are all 30 miles

4387
01:59:04,115 --> 01:59:05,820
an hour. Everyone goes 29.

4388
01:59:05,820 --> 01:59:05,749
And, and you won

4389
01:59:05,749 --> 01:59:06,717
t find anybody

4390
01:59:06,717 --> 01:59:08,453
speeding.

4391
01:59:08,453 --> 01:59:09,521
You know how the city pays its

4392
01:59:09,521 --> 01:59:11,521
taxes?

4393
01:59:12,523 --> 01:59:14,523
Tickets.

4394
01:59:14,658 --> 01:59:15,260
You go, you go 31 miles an hour

4395
01:59:15,260 --> 01:59:15,493
and you

4396
01:59:15,493 --> 01:59:15,927
re, we

4397
01:59:15,927 --> 01:59:17,862
re watching

4398
01:59:17,862 --> 01:59:19,430
sirens in the back window,

4399
01:59:19,430 --> 01:59:20,765
pulling you over, um, you know,

4400
01:59:20,765 --> 01:59:21,766
it, it as much as we don

4401
01:59:21,766 --> 01:59:23,134
t want

4402
01:59:23,134 --> 01:59:25,360
to become enforcement centric,

4403
01:59:25,360 --> 01:59:25,570
it, it, it makes a difference.

4404
01:59:25,570 --> 01:59:26,204
And it, it

4405
01:59:26,204 --> 01:59:27,906
s, we just have to,

4406
01:59:27,906 --> 01:59:30,775
the reality of it is it makes a

4407
01:59:30,775 --> 01:59:32,744
big difference. Um, I, I

4408
01:59:32,744 --> 01:59:33,879
absolutely support, uh, the,

4409
01:59:33,879 --> 01:59:35,130
the, and the two deputies are

4410
01:59:35,130 --> 01:59:36,381
looking for what the needs are,

4411
01:59:36,381 --> 01:59:37,616
what we can afford, when we can

4412
01:59:37,616 --> 01:59:39,217
afford them, um, and moving

4413
01:59:39,217 --> 01:59:40,619
forward and, and really, I know

4414
01:59:40,619 --> 01:59:40,985
that our, our sheriff

4415
01:59:40,985 --> 01:59:41,886
s

4416
01:59:41,886 --> 01:59:42,887
department is very responsible

4417
01:59:42,887 --> 01:59:43,954
in telling us what their needs

4418
01:59:43,954 --> 01:59:44,489
are.

4419
01:59:44,489 --> 01:59:45,390
And we

4420
01:59:45,390 --> 01:59:46,425
re dedicated to making

4421
01:59:46,425 --> 01:59:47,226
sure that those needs are there

4422
01:59:47,226 --> 01:59:48,527
so you can do your job

4423
01:59:48,527 --> 01:59:49,561
effectively. So I, I fully

4424
01:59:49,561 --> 01:59:49,795
support, uh, the mayor

4425
01:59:49,795 --> 01:59:50,862
s idea

4426
01:59:50,862 --> 01:59:51,230
on that. I think that

4427
01:59:51,230 --> 01:59:52,998
s really

4428
01:59:52,998 --> 01:59:54,660
great. Um,

4429
01:59:54,660 --> 01:59:54,466
I would like to add, I, I

4430
01:59:54,466 --> 01:59:56,466
d

4431
01:59:56,634 --> 01:59:58,404
like to see us approach other

4432
01:59:58,404 --> 01:59:59,437
cities and the county because I

4433
01:59:59,437 --> 02:00:01,173
think the county is a big part

4434
02:00:01,173 --> 02:00:03,173
of this, uh,

4435
02:00:03,309 --> 02:00:04,410
To have a a real healthy

4436
02:00:04,410 --> 02:00:05,177
discussion about entry points

4437
02:00:05,177 --> 02:00:05,410
within the city, because I,

4438
02:00:05,410 --> 02:00:06,780
what I

4439
02:00:06,780 --> 02:00:07,146
ve heard a lot of times

4440
02:00:07,146 --> 02:00:07,512
up here from our people who

4441
02:00:07,512 --> 02:00:09,281
ve

4442
02:00:09,281 --> 02:00:09,648
come up, um, Michael Durancy

4443
02:00:09,648 --> 02:00:10,616
s

4444
02:00:10,616 --> 02:00:11,217
mentioned it, you know, people

4445
02:00:11,217 --> 02:00:11,583
come up and they

4446
02:00:11,583 --> 02:00:12,985
re entering

4447
02:00:12,985 --> 02:00:14,530
the city quick.

4448
02:00:14,530 --> 02:00:15,921
And how do we, how do we

4449
02:00:15,921 --> 02:00:16,142
address that? And I think

4450
02:00:16,142 --> 02:00:16,689
that

4451
02:00:16,689 --> 02:00:17,490
s something we have to

4452
02:00:17,490 --> 02:00:17,824
partner with. And, and I don

4453
02:00:17,824 --> 02:00:18,390
t

4454
02:00:18,390 --> 02:00:18,658
know if that

4455
02:00:18,658 --> 02:00:19,525
ll happen

4456
02:00:19,525 --> 02:00:20,560
overnight, but we gotta start

4457
02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:20,730
the conversation. So let

4458
02:00:20,730 --> 02:00:21,360
s

4459
02:00:21,360 --> 02:00:21,526
start the conversation. Let

4460
02:00:21,526 --> 02:00:22,995
s

4461
02:00:22,995 --> 02:00:24,620
be the ones who start it.

4462
02:00:24,620 --> 02:00:24,998
Um, so I, I, I

4463
02:00:24,998 --> 02:00:26,431
m gonna look to,

4464
02:00:26,431 --> 02:00:26,618
to the mayor to help, you know,

4465
02:00:26,618 --> 02:00:27,166
let

4466
02:00:27,166 --> 02:00:28,400
s craft something together

4467
02:00:28,400 --> 02:00:30,300
to go to the other the other

4468
02:00:30,300 --> 02:00:30,436
mayors, the county supervisor,

4469
02:00:30,436 --> 02:00:30,677
and let

4470
02:00:30,677 --> 02:00:31,700
s, let

4471
02:00:31,700 --> 02:00:31,938
s write a letter

4472
02:00:31,938 --> 02:00:32,671
that says, hey, we want to get

4473
02:00:32,671 --> 02:00:33,639
going on this and see what they

4474
02:00:33,639 --> 02:00:35,639
wanna do.

4475
02:00:37,310 --> 02:00:39,310
Um,

4476
02:00:40,913 --> 02:00:42,449
Lastly, you know, I think.

4477
02:00:42,449 --> 02:00:43,483
We try to silo issues up here a

4478
02:00:43,483 --> 02:00:43,850
lot of times, and, and it

4479
02:00:43,850 --> 02:00:45,418
s

4480
02:00:45,418 --> 02:00:45,751
natural, it happens because

4481
02:00:45,751 --> 02:00:46,820
you

4482
02:00:46,820 --> 02:00:48,255
re talking about a very

4483
02:00:48,255 --> 02:00:49,322
specific project or a very

4484
02:00:49,322 --> 02:00:51,322
specific outcome.

4485
02:00:51,625 --> 02:00:53,625
And

4486
02:00:53,927 --> 02:00:54,928
I want to implore everybody up

4487
02:00:54,928 --> 02:00:55,950
here who

4488
02:00:55,950 --> 02:00:55,795
It

4489
02:00:55,795 --> 02:00:56,530
s here because they

4490
02:00:56,530 --> 02:00:57,965
re upset

4491
02:00:57,965 --> 02:00:59,132
about

4492
02:00:59,132 --> 02:01:01,401
Traffic and traffic measures

4493
02:01:01,401 --> 02:01:01,576
and traffic safety.

4494
02:01:01,576 --> 02:01:03,403
It

4495
02:01:03,403 --> 02:01:03,904
s not just traffic safety.

4496
02:01:03,904 --> 02:01:05,471
It

4497
02:01:05,471 --> 02:01:08,410
s a multitude of issues. I,

4498
02:01:08,410 --> 02:01:10,440
i urge you to.

4499
02:01:10,440 --> 02:01:11,946
Find out, ask the state, hey,

4500
02:01:11,946 --> 02:01:13,280
this, this housing mandate is

4501
02:01:13,280 --> 02:01:13,713
creating a dangerous situation

4502
02:01:13,713 --> 02:01:15,713
in our city.

4503
02:01:15,883 --> 02:01:17,351
Why?

4504
02:01:17,351 --> 02:01:18,819
What are we doing? What are we

4505
02:01:18,819 --> 02:01:19,787
trying to do? Get involved in

4506
02:01:19,787 --> 02:01:20,721
other issues. E-bikes, we just

4507
02:01:20,721 --> 02:01:22,289
spent

4508
02:01:22,289 --> 02:01:23,858
Hour and a half last time

4509
02:01:23,858 --> 02:01:24,925
talking about e-bikes and the

4510
02:01:24,925 --> 02:01:26,527
management of it and the

4511
02:01:26,527 --> 02:01:27,961
challenges of it, um, get

4512
02:01:27,961 --> 02:01:29,897
involved in the e-bike

4513
02:01:29,897 --> 02:01:30,765
conversation. Um, there are

4514
02:01:30,765 --> 02:01:31,498
multiple layers of any

4515
02:01:31,498 --> 02:01:31,671
discussion we have up here, and

4516
02:01:31,671 --> 02:01:32,366
I

4517
02:01:32,366 --> 02:01:32,833
m only hitting those because

4518
02:01:32,833 --> 02:01:33,468
we

4519
02:01:33,468 --> 02:01:34,501
re talking about traffic

4520
02:01:34,501 --> 02:01:34,869
today, um, but there

4521
02:01:34,869 --> 02:01:36,137
s multiple,

4522
02:01:36,137 --> 02:01:36,871
multiple areas we can go to

4523
02:01:36,871 --> 02:01:38,380
rather than silo over let

4524
02:01:38,380 --> 02:01:38,672
s

4525
02:01:38,672 --> 02:01:39,907
realize everything is

4526
02:01:39,907 --> 02:01:40,174
interconnected, um, and look at

4527
02:01:40,174 --> 02:01:40,575
it. That

4528
02:01:40,575 --> 02:01:41,675
s the way I know

4529
02:01:41,675 --> 02:01:42,644
council looks at it from every,

4530
02:01:42,644 --> 02:01:43,911
all 5 of us out there, city

4531
02:01:43,911 --> 02:01:45,346
manager office and our staff

4532
02:01:45,346 --> 02:01:46,480
are trying to work things every

4533
02:01:46,480 --> 02:01:48,480
interconnecting in that

4534
02:01:48,715 --> 02:01:49,116
holistic approach. Um um.

4535
02:01:49,116 --> 02:01:49,484
But I think that

4536
02:01:49,484 --> 02:01:50,685
s where part

4537
02:01:50,685 --> 02:01:52,120
of where we have to go and look

4538
02:01:52,120 --> 02:01:53,188
at those questions. Otherwise

4539
02:01:53,188 --> 02:01:53,788
they become too simple and they

4540
02:01:53,788 --> 02:01:54,689
become black and white, and

4541
02:01:54,689 --> 02:01:56,658
these are not black and white

4542
02:01:56,658 --> 02:01:57,958
issues. These are very gray

4543
02:01:57,958 --> 02:01:59,594
issues of how do we get the

4544
02:01:59,594 --> 02:02:00,428
best outcome. Some of it is the

4545
02:02:00,428 --> 02:02:00,622
responsibility, as you

4546
02:02:00,622 --> 02:02:01,229
re

4547
02:02:01,229 --> 02:02:02,630
hearing the responsibility of

4548
02:02:02,630 --> 02:02:03,632
the driver. Some of it is

4549
02:02:03,632 --> 02:02:04,766
responsibility of the, some of

4550
02:02:04,766 --> 02:02:06,101
it is the infrastructure, and

4551
02:02:06,101 --> 02:02:07,369
we want to address all that the

4552
02:02:07,369 --> 02:02:08,904
best we can. You know, I think,

4553
02:02:08,904 --> 02:02:10,839
um,

4554
02:02:10,839 --> 02:02:12,240
Just to reiterate the, the

4555
02:02:12,240 --> 02:02:13,508
e-bike discussion did include a

4556
02:02:13,508 --> 02:02:14,442
large portion of education. I

4557
02:02:14,442 --> 02:02:14,810
know the city, um, and this

4558
02:02:14,810 --> 02:02:15,244
elsewhere wasn

4559
02:02:15,244 --> 02:02:15,451
t in there. So

4560
02:02:15,451 --> 02:02:16,111
you

4561
02:02:16,111 --> 02:02:17,178
re gonna move forward with

4562
02:02:17,178 --> 02:02:17,846
some educational pieces and I

4563
02:02:17,846 --> 02:02:19,314
m

4564
02:02:19,314 --> 02:02:20,749
Sure that all traffic mode

4565
02:02:20,749 --> 02:02:21,750
modalities will be included in

4566
02:02:21,750 --> 02:02:23,850
that educational piece that

4567
02:02:23,850 --> 02:02:24,119
came out of the e-bike

4568
02:02:24,119 --> 02:02:24,375
conversation. So, um,

4569
02:02:24,375 --> 02:02:26,375
I

4570
02:02:26,388 --> 02:02:28,388
m

4571
02:02:29,757 --> 02:02:29,940
This job will never end, and we

4572
02:02:29,940 --> 02:02:31,760
won

4573
02:02:31,760 --> 02:02:33,262
t rest until we get

4574
02:02:33,262 --> 02:02:34,496
Safest sea as we can possibly

4575
02:02:34,496 --> 02:02:35,898
get.

4576
02:02:35,898 --> 02:02:37,399
And the safest city will be

4577
02:02:37,399 --> 02:02:38,934
with the least possible deaths

4578
02:02:38,934 --> 02:02:39,368
we can get across the way. If

4579
02:02:39,368 --> 02:02:40,403
if it

4580
02:02:40,403 --> 02:02:40,804
s 0, great. If it

4581
02:02:40,804 --> 02:02:41,871
s 1,

4582
02:02:41,871 --> 02:02:43,172
great, we want it to be as

4583
02:02:43,172 --> 02:02:43,539
close to 0 as we can get it

4584
02:02:43,539 --> 02:02:43,906
though, and we

4585
02:02:43,906 --> 02:02:44,740
re always going

4586
02:02:44,740 --> 02:02:45,141
to be moving forward. And even

4587
02:02:45,141 --> 02:02:45,408
when we think we

4588
02:02:45,408 --> 02:02:46,475
ve got it

4589
02:02:46,475 --> 02:02:46,663
right.

4590
02:02:46,663 --> 02:02:48,110
We

4591
02:02:48,110 --> 02:02:48,610
re all committed to moving

4592
02:02:48,610 --> 02:02:49,878

Ok. Um, so, uh, I think I

4633
02:03:33,890 --> 02:03:34,324

02:03:34,324 --> 02:03:35,592
I

4635
02:03:35,592 --> 02:03:38,592
ve heard a specific actions.

4636
02:03:38,629 --> 02:03:39,897
Number one is to, uh, agendaize

4637
02:03:39,897 --> 02:03:41,565
the, uh, certainly within the

4638
02:03:41,565 --> 02:03:43,500
framework of the, uh, the

4639
02:03:43,500 --> 02:03:45,870
circulation element, goals and

4640
02:03:45,870 --> 02:03:46,436
policies, uh, coming back and

4641
02:03:46,436 --> 02:03:47,905
going through the

4642
02:03:47,905 --> 02:03:50,305
recommendations in the local

4643
02:03:50,708 --> 02:03:52,900
road safety plan and the

4644
02:03:52,900 --> 02:03:53,377
comprehensive safety action

4645
02:03:53,377 --> 02:03:53,551
plans, um, because they

4646
02:03:53,551 --> 02:03:53,744
re,

4647
02:03:53,744 --> 02:03:53,977
they

4648
02:03:53,977 --> 02:03:54,277
re, they

4649
02:03:54,277 --> 02:03:55,120
re slightly

4650
02:03:55,120 --> 02:03:55,379
different and, and one

4651
02:03:55,379 --> 02:03:57,280
s more

4652
02:03:57,280 --> 02:03:58,515
focused on a handful of streets,

4653
02:03:58,515 --> 02:03:59,830
uh, comprehensive plan really

4654
02:03:59,830 --> 02:04:01,830
only looks.

4655
02:04:01,486 --> 02:04:03,554
To the major streets and, um, I

4656
02:04:03,554 --> 02:04:04,889
did have one question for, uh,

4657
02:04:04,889 --> 02:04:06,790
council member Lyons. The

4658
02:04:06,790 --> 02:04:08,159
200,000, is that in the

4659
02:04:08,159 --> 02:04:08,659
comprehensive safety action

4660
02:04:08,659 --> 02:04:09,394
plan. I, I didn

4661
02:04:09,394 --> 02:04:09,794
t see that in

4662
02:04:09,794 --> 02:04:10,360
there. No, it

4663
02:04:10,360 --> 02:04:10,595
s, uh, it

4664
02:04:10,595 --> 02:04:12,595
s in

4665
02:04:13,531 --> 02:04:15,500
the local road safety plan. Um,

4666
02:04:15,500 --> 02:04:16,000
I did not, uh, yeah, it

4667
02:04:16,000 --> 02:04:18,000
s page

4668
02:04:18,903 --> 02:04:20,903
45. Ok, page 45.

4669
02:04:20,939 --> 02:04:21,806
And, and so I think there

4670
02:04:21,806 --> 02:04:23,806
s

4671
02:04:24,309 --> 02:04:25,577
gonna be more detailed

4672
02:04:25,577 --> 02:04:26,378
directives coming out of there,

4673
02:04:26,378 --> 02:04:26,569
you know, one thing that I

4674
02:04:26,569 --> 02:04:27,245
m

4675
02:04:27,245 --> 02:04:29,480
looking for, and I think it

4676
02:04:29,480 --> 02:04:31,817
came up tonight multiple times

4677
02:04:31,817 --> 02:04:33,351
is the RRFBs and how can we

4678
02:04:33,351 --> 02:04:34,386
make them safer because quite

4679
02:04:34,386 --> 02:04:34,584
frankly, I, I.

4680
02:04:34,584 --> 02:04:35,119
I

4681
02:04:35,119 --> 02:04:36,120
m not sure I

4682
02:04:36,120 --> 02:04:36,521
ve, I

4683
02:04:36,521 --> 02:04:37,755
ve seen

4684
02:04:37,755 --> 02:04:38,924
examples where I think we even

4685
02:04:38,924 --> 02:04:40,926
talked to the others talked

4686
02:04:40,926 --> 02:04:41,102
about it. Uh, the people don

4687
02:04:41,102 --> 02:04:41,760
t

4688
02:04:41,760 --> 02:04:41,959
necessarily stop for them.

4689
02:04:41,959 --> 02:04:42,861
They

4690
02:04:42,861 --> 02:04:44,296
re not sure what to do on

4691
02:04:44,296 --> 02:04:46,665
a flashing yellow. So, but, but

4692
02:04:46,665 --> 02:04:48,660
there is actually in the uh

4693
02:04:48,660 --> 02:04:50,660
comprehensive safety action

4694
02:04:51,200 --> 02:04:53,371
plan, there is a uh

4695
02:04:53,371 --> 02:04:53,571
implementation strategy 3.2.

4696
02:04:53,571 --> 02:04:54,239
I

4697
02:04:54,239 --> 02:04:55,207
m sorry, uh, there, there was

4698
02:04:55,207 --> 02:04:56,342
one in there that talks about

4699
02:04:56,342 --> 02:04:58,377
this, also talks about

4700
02:04:58,377 --> 02:05:00,413
increased use of uh.

4701
02:05:00,413 --> 02:05:02,715
Speed signs and so, so this is,

4702
02:05:02,715 --> 02:05:03,849
this is a I opened this up.

4703
02:05:03,849 --> 02:05:05,551
This is a multivariable. There

02:05:13,126 --> 02:05:14,193
re not slowing any

4709
02:05:14,193 --> 02:05:15,360

02:06:08,315 --> 02:06:08,681
is nobody complaining. That

4740
02:06:08,681 --> 02:06:10,681
s

4741
02:06:10,718 --> 02:06:12,186
the pinnacle of performance. So,

4742
02:06:12,186 --> 02:06:12,375
but hopefully, Warren, Warren

4743
02:06:12,375 --> 02:06:14,375
s

4744
02:06:15,456 --> 02:06:17,491
got me quieted down at my, my,

4745
02:06:17,491 --> 02:06:18,425
uh, ai, uh, agent over there

4746
02:06:18,425 --> 02:06:18,826
speaking for me.

4747
02:06:18,826 --> 02:06:19,827
Um, i

4748
02:06:19,827 --> 02:06:22,530
m gonna go back. Number 2

4749
02:06:22,530 --> 02:06:24,765
is, uh, work with, uh, city

4750
02:06:24,765 --> 02:06:27,501
manager and sheriff on the, uh,

4751
02:06:27,501 --> 02:06:28,168
need, logistics and funding and

4752
02:06:28,168 --> 02:06:28,870
funding for an and funding and

4753
02:06:28,870 --> 02:06:29,470
funding for an additional 2 and

4754
02:06:29,470 --> 02:06:30,671
funding and funding for an

4755
02:06:30,671 --> 02:06:32,600
additional 2 traffic deputies

4756
02:06:32,600 --> 02:06:34,141
likely at mid-year budget would

4757
02:06:34,141 --> 02:06:34,509
be my guess. So, and then the

4758
02:06:34,509 --> 02:06:35,343
thing we didn

4759
02:06:35,343 --> 02:06:36,677
t talk about much,

4760
02:06:36,677 --> 02:06:38,646
all those people mentioned it,

4761
02:06:38,646 --> 02:06:41,460
is continue pushing the

4762
02:06:41,950 --> 02:06:42,282
education, um, I, I went to the,

4763
02:06:42,282 --> 02:06:43,818
uh, sheriff

4764
02:06:43,818 --> 02:06:45,487
s, uh, meeting with

4765
02:06:45,487 --> 02:06:46,655
the, with the city, the session.

4766
02:06:46,655 --> 02:06:46,829
I thought it was excellent. I

4767
02:06:46,829 --> 02:06:47,822
d

4768
02:06:47,822 --> 02:06:48,323
like to see it repeated. I

4769
02:06:48,323 --> 02:06:48,523
d

4770
02:06:48,523 --> 02:06:50,523
like.

4771
02:06:50,759 --> 02:06:53,661
To see it videotaped and, and

4772
02:06:53,661 --> 02:06:54,696
add that as yet another

4773
02:06:54,696 --> 02:06:56,640
education component, so I think

4774
02:06:56,640 --> 02:06:57,164
those are the, the three

4775
02:06:57,164 --> 02:06:57,621
actions out of this meeting,

4776
02:06:57,621 --> 02:06:58,103
and I

4777
02:06:58,103 --> 02:06:58,534
m sure there

4778
02:06:58,534 --> 02:07:00,369
ll be more

4779
02:07:00,369 --> 02:07:02,304
in short order I would add the

4780
02:07:02,304 --> 02:07:04,704
for the circulation elephant

4781
02:07:04,706 --> 02:07:06,175
separating the having a a safe

4782
02:07:06,175 --> 02:07:07,242
travel lanes for the bikes.

4783
02:07:07,242 --> 02:07:08,610
Some, something of that nature,

4784
02:07:08,610 --> 02:07:09,310
just a, a, a proposed so we can

4785
02:07:09,310 --> 02:07:10,645
have something to start with

4786
02:07:10,645 --> 02:07:13,315
and go or, or do you, I, I

4787
02:07:13,315 --> 02:07:16,952
would do that right in with the,

4788
02:07:16,952 --> 02:07:18,187
uh, lrsp, uh, um, comprehensive

4789
02:07:18,187 --> 02:07:18,787
safety action plan at that

4790
02:07:18,787 --> 02:07:19,388
meeting, and we

4791
02:07:19,388 --> 02:07:20,289
ll bring it up

4792
02:07:20,289 --> 02:07:21,757
there and if we need to

4793
02:07:21,757 --> 02:07:23,259
separate it out as a

4794
02:07:23,259 --> 02:07:24,693
circulation as long as it comes

4795
02:07:24,693 --> 02:07:26,429
back, but my plan was during

4796
02:07:26,429 --> 02:07:27,830
that meeting to do everything

4797
02:07:27,830 --> 02:07:28,597
within the framework and

4798
02:07:28,597 --> 02:07:30,800
understand that we need to

4799
02:07:30,800 --> 02:07:32,234
update any policies in the

4800
02:07:32,234 --> 02:07:33,201
current circulation element. Ok.

4801
02:07:33,201 --> 02:07:35,201
Yeah.

4802
02:07:36,272 --> 02:07:37,273
With the, did you wanna? Ok

4803
02:07:37,273 --> 02:07:37,774
ok, yes, thank you. All right,

4804
02:07:37,774 --> 02:07:39,774
so I

4805
02:07:40,176 --> 02:07:41,377
m just gonna recap, um, if

4806
02:07:41,377 --> 02:07:42,544
that is the motion that goes

4807
02:07:42,544 --> 02:07:43,979
forward. So, um, I will work

4808
02:07:43,979 --> 02:07:45,481
with staff. Obviously, the

4809
02:07:45,481 --> 02:07:48,481
local road safety plan was

4810
02:07:48,885 --> 02:07:50,987
adopted back in AUGUST of 2022.

4811
02:07:50,987 --> 02:07:52,689
Um, the comprehensive safety

4812
02:07:52,689 --> 02:07:54,190
action plan was completed. It

4813
02:07:54,190 --> 02:07:55,491
was brought to, I want to say

4814
02:07:55,491 --> 02:07:56,693
the mobility and traffic Safety

4815
02:07:56,693 --> 02:07:58,995
Commission in either APRIL or

4816
02:07:58,995 --> 02:08:00,630
MAY of 2025. Ok, yep, I got my

4817
02:08:00,630 --> 02:08:02,365
dates right. Dan is signaling

4818
02:08:02,365 --> 02:08:03,966
me. Um, so obviously one has

4819
02:08:03,966 --> 02:08:05,301
been done and adopted, another

4820
02:08:05,301 --> 02:08:06,736
one has not been adopted by

4821
02:08:06,736 --> 02:08:07,737
council but has been finished.

4822
02:08:07,737 --> 02:08:09,205
So we will definitely bring

4823
02:08:09,205 --> 02:08:10,340
those forward so council can

4824
02:08:10,340 --> 02:08:12,800
see those and then depending on

4825
02:08:12,800 --> 02:08:13,420
what comes out of that, we MAY

4826
02:08:13,420 --> 02:08:14,770
have different asks because we

4827
02:08:14,770 --> 02:08:15,946
did have consultants work on

4828
02:08:15,946 --> 02:08:18,382
both of those to let you know.

4829
02:08:18,382 --> 02:08:18,916
I can definitely work with um

4830
02:08:18,916 --> 02:08:20,884
Captain.

4831
02:08:20,884 --> 02:08:21,952
And my finance team to look at

4832
02:08:21,952 --> 02:08:22,920
different financing and yes,

4833
02:08:22,920 --> 02:08:24,287
Mayor, it would be mid-year

4834
02:08:24,287 --> 02:08:25,656
cause because we need to get

4835
02:08:25,656 --> 02:08:27,257
through our audit as we

4836
02:08:27,257 --> 02:08:28,625
normally do and end of the year,

4837
02:08:28,625 --> 02:08:29,960
um, so we can do that. And then

4838
02:08:29,960 --> 02:08:32,362
as far as education, absolutely.

4839
02:08:32,362 --> 02:08:33,998
And one of the things is we

4840
02:08:33,998 --> 02:08:35,866
have additional funding, um, to

4841
02:08:35,866 --> 02:08:37,701
work on bike education, um,

4842
02:08:37,701 --> 02:08:40,700
with the MOUs with the schools,

4843
02:08:40,700 --> 02:08:40,671
um, they did not, um, take the

4844
02:08:40,671 --> 02:08:41,710
money. They didn

4845
02:08:41,710 --> 02:08:42,573
t want to

4846
02:08:42,573 --> 02:08:43,507
pursue the mou, so we do have

4847
02:08:43,507 --> 02:08:45,642
additional funding. So we are

4848
02:08:45,642 --> 02:08:45,816
going to use that for whether

4849
02:08:45,816 --> 02:08:46,777
it

4850
02:08:46,777 --> 02:08:47,345
s driver education, bike

4851
02:08:47,345 --> 02:08:47,527
education, absolutely we

4852
02:08:47,527 --> 02:08:47,945
re

4853
02:08:47,945 --> 02:08:49,847
gonna use that.

4854
02:08:49,847 --> 02:08:50,915
For that good as well. So I

4855
02:08:50,915 --> 02:08:52,115
just wanted to circle that up

4856
02:08:52,115 --> 02:08:53,550
if you guys make that.

4857
02:08:53,550 --> 02:08:54,840
Ok.

4858
02:08:54,840 --> 02:08:55,253
So I

4859
02:08:55,253 --> 02:08:57,388
ll make that in the form

4860
02:08:57,388 --> 02:09:00,258
of a motion and, uh.

4861
02:09:00,258 --> 02:09:01,192
Second, I got a 2nd.

4862
02:09:01,192 --> 02:09:04,495
You need to read it back, I

4863
02:09:04,495 --> 02:09:04,963
think.

4864
02:09:04,963 --> 02:09:06,564
So it

4865
02:09:06,564 --> 02:09:08,660
s to agendaize at a

4866
02:09:08,660 --> 02:09:09,934
future meeting to be determined

4867
02:09:09,934 --> 02:09:11,336

02:09:12,137 --> 02:09:15,106

02:09:23,315 --> 02:09:24,349
department.

4878
02:09:24,349 --> 02:09:25,217
To explore the feasibility of

4879
02:09:25,217 --> 02:09:28,217
adding two deputies at the

4880
02:09:28,253 --> 02:09:30,253
