Welcome to you now. My name is Kevin O'Neill. I'm the chair. My colleagues.

00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000

00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:36,000
And then we will go to...

13
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:38,000
That heo doctor, off the agenda.

14
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:42,000
For two weeks, actually four.

15
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Just hold it for two weeks.

16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Okay.

17
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,000
Oh, no, I'm sorry, off doctor.

18
00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Yes, I'm sorry.

19
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I'm sorry.

20
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Thank you, guys. No problem.

21
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:55,000
And we'll read our one and only ordinance.

22
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
2, 6, 0, 7, 0, 0.

23
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
Authorizing the manager of procurement services to execute

24
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
a term in supply contract for archwood.

25
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000
Environmental for contract number.

26
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
EV, 4, 3, 7, 5.

27
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
Household has it as waste operations and

28
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
Authorizing the manager of procurement services

29
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,000
to amend the contract in exercise five,

30
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:16,000
one year or no options.

31
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Good morning.

32
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Good morning.

33
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
Keely Golden assistant chief procurement officer

34
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:27,000
with the General Services Department.

35
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,000
I have Jessica Jensen operations officer with

36
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:33,000
water services department with me today.

37
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,000
This ordinance request is to approve contract EV,

38
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,000
4, 3, 7, 5.

39
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,000
For household hazardous waste operator and operations

40
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
for the water services department.

41
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
There request for proposal was issued on November 24,

42
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
2025 and closed on January 7, 20, 26.

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
The city received two submissions from our

44
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,000
quid environmental and clean harbors environmental services

45
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:01,000
with an award made to our quid environmental.

46
00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:03,000
We did request the supplier be here today,

47
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:06,000
but they were out of town and not able to attend.

48
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:12,000
The $1,470,379 and 16 cent contract has an initial term

49
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,000
of one year with five annual renewal options.

50
00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:18,000
I will now turn the presentation over to Jessica to cover more

51
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:21,000
information on the scope and project requirements.

52
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Good morning, Jessica Jensen operations officer,

53
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:26,000
Kansas City.

54
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:29,000
So this contract provides the continued operation

55
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
and management of Kansas City's household hazardous waste

56
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000
facility and related mobile collection events

57
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000
by our quid environmental.

58
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:42,000
On average, this facility serves approximately 1,035 vehicles

59
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:46,000
or customers and processes approximately 100 and 20,000

60
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
pounds of household hazardous waste each month.

61
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:55,000
We will now take a look at the

62
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000
demand for the essential service.

63
00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Our quid will provide the trained personnel,

64
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:03,000
equipment, supplies, transportation, and technical expertise

65
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,000
needed to safely collect and manage materials such as paint,

66
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:11,000
solvents, pesticides, automotive fluids, batteries,

67
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:13,000
fields, and other household chemicals.

68
00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:15,000
The contractor is responsible for screening,

69
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:19,000
and we will now take a look at the

70
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:20,000
local regulations.

71
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,000
In partnership with the American Regional Council,

72
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
household hazardous waste and art would also provide

73
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
support for mobile household hazardous waste collection

74
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,000
events in 10 area communities.

75
00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:35,000
We also have four mobile events within the city of Kansas City

76
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:36,000
every year.

77
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:39,000
The scope includes cleaning the facility,

78
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,000
completing required regulatory reporting and

79
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:43,000
record keeping, supporting approved emergency

80
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
response and legal dumping activities, and collecting

81
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
hazardous waste from city facilities.

82
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Our quid will continue operating a swap shop,

83
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:55,000
and establish the recycled paint program which promotes

84
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
reuse, reduces disposal costs, and diverts

85
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
usable material from landfills.

86
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Our quid environmental is the incumbent provider and has

87
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
extensive experience operating facility and mobile

88
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:07,000
collection events.

89
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
We have had no issues with their performance,

90
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
regulatory compliance, or customer service.

91
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
A wording this contract will ensure residents

92
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
continue to have a safe and reliable option for

93
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
disposal of household hazardous waste.

94
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,000
Thank you.

95
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:23,000
We're happy to answer any questions.

96
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Thank you.

97
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:30,000
Let's have a robust 20-minute conversation about

98
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
hazardous waste.

99
00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:37,000
You said how many households is that a thousand households?

100
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:38,000
It's approximately.

101
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
This is just an average on what we serve monthly is

102
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
1,000 and monthly.

103
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:44,000
1,000.

104
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:45,000
That's approximately.

105
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
We keep track of how many vehicles come through the facility,

106
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,000
so it's not necessarily just households as people

107
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:52,000
could cargo.

108
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:55,000
We don't necessarily know that for sure when we

109
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
just verify that they're an ID and a resident of Kansas City.

110
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:03,000
How many mobile events does this contract allow for?

111
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
It's 14.

112
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:09,000
14 mobile events in addition to the monthly,

113
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,000
in addition to the drop-offing.

114
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Yes, we have one stationary location and that is open

115
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
four days a week.

116
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:21,000
The 14 events are they all throughout the city

117
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
and every council district?

118
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:28,000
We don't do, sorry, the districts.

119
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
The district that the household has a place is

120
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
I believe is in third district, so we don't do one there.

121
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
Then we do the city-wide recycling one at the

122
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:44,000
manual tech, which is in third district.

123
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,000
Then we try to represent the other.

124
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000
We have four of them, so we rotate them between district.

125
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:54,000
We're having one in one, two, six and four.

126
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
Okay, great.

127
00:05:56,000 --> 00:06:01,000
How do people know what type of community outreach do we do to

128
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,000
let people know about the service?

129
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,000
Is that a part of the contract to where we're

130
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:09,000
communicating the service to the public?

131
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,000
Not part of this contract, no.

132
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,000
We let all the council people know when it's on their

133
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:18,000
calendars for the mobile events.

134
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:22,000
So there's fires that go out for that.

135
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:25,000
We have like a set two in the first part of the year and then two in the last

136
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:28,000
half of the year, so we have one that's coming up in September.

137
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
And then we'll have another one in October.

138
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:34,000
So we'll start setting out fires and like council people know.

139
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
We've also been willing to talk at town hall meetings

140
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
that people would like us to, but that's not part of

141
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
our code contract.

142
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:46,000
It just seems like the size of having five hundred thousand

143
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
more than five hundred thousand residents.

144
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:51,000
It just seems like it might be low and I'm not sure

145
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,000
people really know about the service that is offered.

146
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:00,000
And maybe there's a way that we can get the word out a little bit

147
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,000
more.

148
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:02,000
Yeah.

149
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:03,000
I'm happy to work with communications on that.

150
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,000
Okay.

151
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,000
Thank you.

152
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:10,000
Councilman Robinson's point.

153
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000
It's some of these because I know that when we do our district

154
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:18,000
dropoffs one of those of the two that we do includes hazardous

155
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
risk waste is that part of this contract.

156
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,000
Yes.

157
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Yeah.

158
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Those will be the mobile events.

159
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:26,000
So I'm not sure exactly what all you do in every one of your council,

160
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:29,000
but I know that we provide household hazardous waste for four of the pickups

161
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
so one in each district.

162
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:35,000
So I know that the one in sixth district is coming up and I believe that

163
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,000
burns in the back is the location that we're doing it at for their

164
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
parking lot because we need something that's large enough to do that.

165
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:46,000
And then the other one is at risk and is in October.

166
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
So just one other question.

167
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,000
Mr. Chair.

168
00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,000
So we've had a lot of conversations about solid waste and making sure

169
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
the right things go in the right places.

170
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:00,000
It relates to trying to preserve our laying fields and all of the things.

171
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:10,000
So would you wish your opinion about the number of households we serve?

172
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
Do you feel like we're having an adequate impact in serving the city or

173
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:16,000
is there room?

174
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Do we need to improve the number of folks who are using this service?

175
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000
And does this contract allow for that target?

176
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
I think we're doing an adequate job of serving the community.

177
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I always think we can do better.

178
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,000
However, the facility is also aging, right?

179
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:37,000
So we're operating at about 150% of what that facility should be doing.

180
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:41,000
We just installed another loading dock.

181
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:45,000
So that's allowed us to utilize the facility that we currently have.

182
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,000
So we're trying to expand as much outreach as and update the facility as needed.

183
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:55,000
But currently the facility is undersized for the community that we do have.

184
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Okay.

185
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
I don't want to open up a can of work.

186
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
So I'll leave it there for this contract.

187
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
Thank you though for your bet.

188
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:03,000
Insight.

189
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Any other questions?

190
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:08,000
I don't think I see a hand up for Lindsay.

191
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
So I would.

192
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:13,000
Is there any public testimony on this?

193
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,000
There's not public testimony for this ordinance.

194
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:17,000
I would entertain a motion.

195
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:18,000
Okay.

196
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,000
Wonderful.

197
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Is Arc Wood environmental?

198
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Are they here?

199
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
Did you want to recognize?

200
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Oh, I don't see them.

201
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,000
No.

202
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:25,000
They were out of town.

203
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:26,000
Oh, I'm sorry.

204
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:27,000
I'm sorry.

205
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
I just want to make sure.

206
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:30,000
All right.

207
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:31,000
Mr. Chair.

208
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,000
Are you ready for a motion?

209
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,000
Okay.

210
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:34,000
I move the ordinance.

211
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:35,000
Number two, 60, 170.

212
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:37,000
We'll see what we report out of committee with a recommendation.

213
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,000
It would be answered to pass.

214
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Thank you.

215
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:40,000
Thank you.

216
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:41,000
All those in favor.

217
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:42,000
All right.

218
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000
All right.

219
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:44,000
All right.

220
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Second.

221
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,000
Thank you very much.

222
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Thank you.

223
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:52,000
I might advise those in the audience that for the finance committee that starts at nine

224
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:55,000
thirty or five, whatever.

225
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
The ordinance is regarding the royals will be held today.

226
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,000
I don't want to, if you're, if you're here for that, that will not be held today.

227
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
So, just wanted to notify you.

228
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
They're not on the DACA today.

229
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
The finance.

230
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:13,000
No.

231
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
The finance will notify.

232
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
We are off for two weeks.

233
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
So, it would have to be after that.

234
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Correct.

235
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:28,000
Correct.

236
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,000
All right.

237
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:30,000
Thank you.

238
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
Let's see if we can find our vote.

239
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Okay.

240
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Presentation.

241
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,000
Yes.

242
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,000
We have a present.

243
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Are they here?

244
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Public works as a.

245
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
Here.

246
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,000
Thank you.

247
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
There we are.

248
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:44,000
There we are.

249
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:45,000
There we are.

250
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:46,000
There we are.

251
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,000
I thought everybody here was here to hear your conversation.

252
00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,000
Your presentation.

253
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Yes.

254
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Excuse me.

255
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:57,000
Excuse me.

256
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,000
I guess you didn't have to make a decision.

257
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
That's okay.

258
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:13,000
No.

259
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
You didn't have to make a decision.

260
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,000
You saw yesterday on the case here.

261
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,000
Yes.

262
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
Public presentation.

263
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:27,000
On safe.

264
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
Across.

265
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Crosswork campaign.

266
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:33,000
Good morning Chairman or Neil members of the Transportation

267
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,000
Infrastructure Operations Committee.

268
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:38,000
My name is Jason Waldron and I'm the Transportation Director of Public Works.

269
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
With me today, it's Salina Zaffraper.

270
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,000
In the NGLory.

271
00:11:41,000 --> 00:11:46,000
Over here to present on ordinance 24097, which is also effectively.

272
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
Title Vision zero road safety audits and safe.

273
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Across.

274
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:53,000
Crosswork compliance.

275
00:11:53,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Excuse me.

276
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:55,000
Excuse me.

277
00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:56,000
Excuse me.

278
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,000
Good morning everyone.

279
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:05,000
Again, my name is NGLory.

280
00:12:05,000 --> 00:12:07,000
With me as Salina Zaffraper.

281
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:12,000
And we're going to share with you some of the progress that has been made in implementation

282
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:18,000
specifically given the directives of ordinance 24097.

283
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:24,000
That includes the identification of 10 high injury network.

284
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:31,000
Intersections and 10 high injury network corridors for the performance of road safety audits,

285
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:37,000
as well as implementation of a crosswalk compliance program.

286
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:46,000
This is just a summary of that ordinance, which was approved in 2024.

287
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:52,000
We'll start with a summary of the work that has been conducted on the road audits.

288
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:57,000
Since that was a piece of our directive in addition to the crosswalk program.

289
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:01,000
The goal of road safety audit is to answer these questions.

290
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:08,000
A road safety audit in summary is a formal review of roadway and intersection conditions.

291
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,000
That includes operations and safety issues.

292
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:21,000
The goal of that review is to identify potential safety concerns and opportunities for improvement for all users.

293
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:31,000
That includes drivers, pedestrians, cyclists, and transit users, and in particular, vulnerable road users.

294
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,000
The work involved in that is a pre-meeting.

295
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:39,000
And certainly first identifying the locations on the high injury network for that work.

296
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:45,000
This slide summarizes the 10 high injury network intersections for which audits were performed.

297
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:50,000
The road safety audit included data collection analysis and field reviews.

298
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:58,000
First for each location, there was a pre-meeting with the team from the audit and then a formal field visit,

299
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:03,000
which in some cases depending on the length of the corridor or intersection complexity.

300
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Took hours or an afternoon.

301
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:10,000
A few other details about that work.

302
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:19,000
There was an ordinance required for the amendment to the consultant team contract, which was approved in May of 2025.

303
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,000
That team consisted of emergency McDonald's with trek design.

304
00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000
The audits themselves were identified very quickly after that approval.

305
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:36,000
And we're performed across the two months fan last summer between July 25th and September 23rd.

306
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:44,000
And if we advance to the second slide for corridors, these are the 10 corridors for which audits were completed as well.

307
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:50,000
In the fourth quarter of 2025, we received initial reports.

308
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:57,000
And those reports were reviewed across a fourth quarter of last year and in the first quarter of 2026.

309
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Those reports are now in a draft final.

310
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:07,000
State. And we are using the results of that work, which identified safety countermeasures for all of these

311
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:16,000
locations to inform the work we are implementing this fiscal year. Here is a summary of what

312
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:24,000
that looks like so far. We are engaging with council district aids to share progress in honing in on

313
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:32,000
coordination points for resurfacing, design updates for work that may be in process,

314
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,000
and also pipelining work to feed into the city's capital improvement program.

315
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:43,000
For this fiscal year, in particular, we are targeting improvements on nine of the ten intersections,

316
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:52,000
and one of those locations, which involves railroad coordination, we are advancing for additional study.

317
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:59,000
And we are targeting to make improvements in four or five of the corridors for which the audits were performed.

318
00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:06,000
The night three corridor, we are updating a design and the audits are feeding into those updates,

319
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:16,000
and we will complete these improvements to the extent that our awarded budget allows us to optimizing that opportunity.

320
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:23,000
Are there any questions?

321
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:30,000
All right. This slide summarizes some of the engagement that I have shared already.

322
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:38,000
We have shared the Vision Zero 2025 accomplishments that I believe was distributed in February of

323
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:46,000
2006, and also we continue to conduct Vision Zero quarterly meetings on the most recent occurring in March and June.

324
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:55,000
And I did mention as we pipeline some of this work that was informed by the audits achieved through the ordinance that you

325
00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:02,000
approved. We are fine-tuning the list for next year's work and those improvements across the summer.

326
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:09,000
We've had three meetings so far to hone in on that work and the scope.

327
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:17,000
All right. We'll now pivot to the CrossWat Compliance program and where we stand with that program's implementation.

328
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:21,000
Good morning. Thank you for having us here this morning.

329
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:29,000
Safe across is the second part of the ordinance that, there we go. I can see the screen now.

330
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:36,000
So the second half of the ordinance requires that we do a safety that CrossWat Compliance study.

331
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:48,000
And so we are engaging in safe across which is an educational campaign that utilizes compliance studies to measure changing driver habits and uses the findings for social norming.

332
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:56,000
It includes installations of statues that you see there on the right hand of the screen as well as compliance studies.

333
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:02,000
It also includes a public education and outreach component.

334
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,000
So you may be wondering what a compliance study is.

335
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:17,000
So a compliance study evaluates the human factor such as the ability and willingness of drivers to yield and gives insight into a pedestrian's comfort level at a particular crosswalk.

336
00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:24,000
When we are identifying sites for compliance studies, there are specific requirements that we need to keep in mind

337
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:31,000
and we have been doing that, for example. None of these CrossWat can be as signalized intersections.

338
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:40,000
They can be at midblock crossings, uncontrolled or they could be enhanced with rapid rectangular flashing beacons.

339
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
They could not be at Hawk signals.

340
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:49,000
Another thing we need to consider is the amount of traffic that goes along the corridor with the Crosswalk.

341
00:18:49,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Typically we want more than 2,000 vehicles per day, but we also don't want so much traffic on the corridor that it could create hazard for the staff conducting the assessment or corridors that exhibit high excessive speeds.

342
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:15,000
So something in the middle is ideal. Ideally we also have no more than 2 lanes of traffic.

343
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:26,000
If we do have 2 lanes in each direction, we should have a 6-foot median for that crosswalk as well.

344
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:29,000
So how are compliance studies conducted? First we select the sites.

345
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:33,000
We've been working towards that over the last couple of months.

346
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:42,000
We conduct a site assessment at each of these Crosswalk locations, a site assessment verifies that the Crosswalk is marked, signed and in good condition.

347
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:55,000
We've done that informally for all the sites that we've been looking at so far, but we will conduct a formal site assessment right before each baseline compliance study as well.

348
00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:03,000
So some specifics about the compliance studies. We will be conducting them every quarter in the fall winter spring and summer.

349
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:12,000
We will have 18 sites total. That's three sites per council district. However, we're not going to be conducting 18 compliance studies every quarter.

350
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:23,000
The idea is to rotate the compliance studies throughout the year. So we'll have two control sites every quarter and four variable sites.

351
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:31,000
These are the locations that we've proposed for the Crosswalk compliance studies. There are three locations per district.

352
00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:38,000
They adhere to those criteria and requirements that we spoke about earlier.

353
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,000
Sorry, we just need to get a lot of people coming in.

354
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Okay. I'll speak to them.

355
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:45,000
We'll do.

356
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Sorry.

357
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:53,000
Okay. Most of these are on our hindering network or on your it.

358
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:59,000
Signature element of the safer Cross is the student Walker and Mr. Walker statues.

359
00:20:59,000 --> 00:21:04,000
They should be in high pedestrian zones. They should be highly visible.

360
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,000
There are a reminder for drivers to yield to pedestrians.

361
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:14,000
We've purchased and received 28 Mr. Walker's 14 student walkers this year in two phases.

362
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:19,000
We proposed installing up to four Mr. Walker's district and two student walkers.

363
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,000
The first phase of that will be two locations per district.

364
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000
We've come up with some ideas for these areas.

365
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:35,000
These high activity areas based on midemare for regional council activity centers layers.

366
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:42,000
And we're looking for further input on where you'd like to see your Mr. Walker and student Walker.

367
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:45,000
Implementation in 2025.

368
00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:49,000
We hit the ground running with the RSA scope as Angie mentioned earlier.

369
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:57,000
Also in 2025 some of our staff attended safer cross training at the Mid-America Regional Council to get

370
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:04,000
the correct on what the program entails as well as what we can expect moving forward towards implementation.

371
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Earlier this year we started regular coordination calls with safer cross as well as contracting negotiations and modifications.

372
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:16,000
In the spring we issued POs to fabricate the statues.

373
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:24,000
And then in the summer we've been developing the locations that we just discussed as well as received the statues.

374
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:31,000
We've also been holding a series of coordination meetings with council district aids for awareness and input.

375
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Communications is a big part of this program.

376
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,000
We've been working with city columnist to develop a KCMO branded safer cross logo.

377
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
You'll see the one on the right.

378
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
That spring field uses.

379
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:45,000
That's their city specific logo for safer cross.

380
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:53,000
We've also been looking at how we can inform pedestrians and drivers with the signage for the compliance.

381
00:22:53,000 --> 00:23:04,000
So on the side you'll also see a sign that is on existing poll that we're also considering.

382
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:08,000
This is a timeline basically what we just spoke about.

383
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:19,000
The main takeaway here is that there are a lot of activities to do before official kickoff which we anticipate in September.

384
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:21,000
And here are key next steps.

385
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:25,000
Finalizing priority locations for the statues.

386
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:33,000
Doing our baseline compliance studies in late September and in kickoff.

387
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:40,000
Focusing on communications and promotion of the campaign and then continuing with our quarterly compliance studies.

388
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Thank you.

389
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
I didn't mean to rush it.

390
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,000
You know, councilwoman Robinson has a lot of questions.

391
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:51,000
Thank you very much.

392
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,000
Any question for my colleagues?

393
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Just.

394
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
Just thank you for the presentation.

395
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:00,000
I'd love to follow up there to just hear more detail.

396
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
I know that busy day.

397
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:07,000
So thank you for preparing with us through the noise and stuff and rushing.

398
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,000
So thank you so much for the book to catch up more and appreciate.

399
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:13,000
We appreciate the presentation on this.

400
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:14,000
Thank you.

401
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
You got two minutes.

402
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:17,000
Cool.

403
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:22,000
I'm chair said that because they're we're not taking up the royals.

404
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:25,000
That we will have a couple more questions but no seriously.

405
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,000
This is important because the matter of life and death.

406
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:35,000
Are my colleague and I we got into, you know, a interesting conversation.

407
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:39,000
I appreciate his leadership in making sure that we have resources.

408
00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:43,000
That's a theory to do adequate communication and engagement.

409
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:51,000
My passion comes to this issue because the majority of the fatalities are in the third district.

410
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,000
So this is a life and death issue.

411
00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:02,000
I just returned from Denver and at every intersection there was a crosswalk.

412
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:07,000
There's no need to do a audit to figure out where the crosswalk needs to be.

413
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:08,000
They're there.

414
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:14,000
Their street does not also require a marker for where the car is supposed to stop.

415
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:19,000
So let's go back to your design.

416
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:22,000
Which is like where the design for the crosswalk.

417
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
I think it's a site assessment.

418
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Yes.

419
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:26,000
Yes.

420
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:27,000
Yes.

421
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,000
Which is to a car supposed to stop.

422
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:31,000
The next one.

423
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:35,000
There's one that shows it.

424
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,000
There's one that shows it.

425
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:37,000
There's one.

426
00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,000
Is this something that we're utilizing now?

427
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
I've not seen it.

428
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,000
Yeah.

429
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:45,000
I think you're referring to both the stop bar and a yield bar.

430
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
And that is a standard requirement of a crosswalk painted intersection.

431
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:51,000
So our crosswalks right now have the sharty.

432
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:56,000
So most of them should have actually a solid stop bar.

433
00:25:56,000 --> 00:26:01,000
In some instances we do have the sharty field as well.

434
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Do all of our crosswalks.

435
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:08,000
Our intersections have pedestrian crosswalks.

436
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:12,000
That's not every intersection the city has a crosswalks.

437
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:19,000
Can you please provide for us what the budgetary cost would be to have crosswalks?

438
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:24,000
Are there crosswalks at every intersection where there is a fatality?

439
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:28,000
Or has been identified by vision zero as a problem intersection?

440
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
Do we have crosswalks there?

441
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:36,000
My, I would venture to guess their locations where we've had fatalities with our no crosswalks.

442
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,000
Okay.

443
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:38,000
We need to know that.

444
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:39,000
Please.

445
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:50,000
And we need to figure out a way to ensure that those locations are first on the list as relates to implementation of this work.

446
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:53,000
The sign, the percentage sign.

447
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:55,000
So amazing idea.

448
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:56,000
Thank you.

449
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
That's great show.

450
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:01,000
You know, the percentage of folks who are doing the right thing.

451
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:10,000
And I was paying close attention to myself as in driving in Denver and everyone else.

452
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,000
They were, they were stopping at that marker.

453
00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:16,000
But it's at every crosswalk.

454
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,000
And the reason why that's important is because sometimes you have to stop there.

455
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
Sometimes you don't.

456
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
If it's not at every intersection.

457
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000
So how do we change behavior if it's not standard at every stop sign.

458
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
If we don't have the markers at every stop sign.

459
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:36,000
So the, the investment in communication is great.

460
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:41,000
But the behavior change comes where I don't put my seat belt on.

461
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Some of the time I put it on every time.

462
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,000
I drive.

463
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
And so if we don't have this that each intersection.

464
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:53,000
It's a problem as it relates to how people are going to behave behind the wheel.

465
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:54,000
And that's concerning for me.

466
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:59,000
And I think that it needs to be at every intersection.

467
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Can you go back to the slide where it has the, the signage, the percentage of compliance.

468
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Okay.

469
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
Is that digital?

470
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:13,000
This one here, no, it's not digital.

471
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:16,000
Okay, so that's going to be lagging, lagging indicator.

472
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
And so they have to figure out.

473
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:22,000
Yes, after the compliance studies are conducted every quarter.

474
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,000
Someone goes out and updates the number.

475
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:30,000
Have we talked to KCPD about increased enforcement.

476
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
For crosswalk compliance.

477
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:33,000
Yes.

478
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,000
Specifically.

479
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,000
Is there a law on the books that requires people to stop.

480
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
Okay, okay, so that's the thing.

481
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
I just want to make sure I'm covering the basis.

482
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Okay, good question.

483
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:46,000
So have we talked to KCPD about that?

484
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:50,000
In addition to, you know, I always, you know, carrots are important.

485
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:53,000
Like, this is important to communicate.

486
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:57,000
But we also need additional reinforcements.

487
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
Has there been a discussion made about that?

488
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:03,000
We have a routine monthly coordination meeting with KCPD.

489
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:08,000
And I say over the last couple of years that is that coordination you're asking about is really improved.

490
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
And so we public works in the police.

491
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:11,000
We'd like us.

492
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:12,000
So we meet every month.

493
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:13,000
We talk about these issues.

494
00:29:13,000 --> 00:29:15,000
And I got to say thank you to them.

495
00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:17,000
They've been really supportive of the vision zero enforcement.

496
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,000
Because to your point, we can engineer so much.

497
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,000
We can educate so much.

498
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:23,000
But we have to have that third leg of enforcement as well.

499
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Okay, thank you.

500
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,000
So just to wrap up to make sure we're on the same page.

501
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:32,000
You're going to provide for us information about the intersections and the costs.

502
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:38,000
That's necessary to make sure that all of our intersections have crosswalks.

503
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
To help with that behavior change, right?

504
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
And to make sure that all of those areas are safe.

505
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:48,000
And then you're going to provide information about prioritizing areas where there's been

506
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:52,000
fatalities and have been identified by vision zero.

507
00:29:52,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Again, thank you to Councilman Bunch for his leadership in making sure we have that data set from vision.

508
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:07,000
So make you sure that we have that information as well to the committee. Is that fair? Thank you, copy.

509
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:12,000
For clarification, I really want all intersections or just signalized intersection.

510
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:21,000
No, I want to know what the investment is required to make sure all intersections have the crosswalks.

511
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,000
Thank you.

512
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:26,000
Thank you, guys. Any other questions?

513
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
With that, thank you very much.

514
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
Thank you very much, sir.

515
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:31,000
Thank you very much.

516
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Yes.
