1
00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:06,740
So, thank you all for coming out tonight. We're talking about our updated national mobility plan.

2
00:00:07,340 --> 00:00:10,800
Free's in Nichols is the consultant for the city on this.

3
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:17,200
And without further ado, I'm going to turn over to Eddie Aust to introduce his team and to get the steady start.

4
00:00:17,560 --> 00:00:21,440
Very good. Thank you very much. I'm going to stand up. I've been sitting all day.

5
00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:28,640
So, I'm going to stand up and then I'll turn it over to Brian Crook's, Brian is leading the master mobility plan effort.

6
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:36,300
I'm Eddie Haas. I was here in 2017 when we developed the mobility plant update then at the time.

7
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:44,280
We also developed another finance tool called Capital Recovery fee that seems to be a real hit with some folks and others maybe not so.

8
00:00:44,840 --> 00:00:49,940
But anyway, the mobility plan is critically important piece of planning.

9
00:00:50,560 --> 00:00:57,300
Not only does it contemplate how the city is going to grow long-term and it's rooted in your comprehensive plan or future land use plan.

10
00:00:57,300 --> 00:01:03,640
It's important that this mobility plan take a look at how things are going to be over the next 20 years.

11
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:09,280
So we are going through a travel demand modeling process to take a look at year 2045.

12
00:01:09,420 --> 00:01:11,960
What are the travel demands going to be?

13
00:01:12,020 --> 00:01:15,140
How might that affect the current network as currently planned?

14
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:17,300
And then we'll make some adjustments from there.

15
00:01:18,020 --> 00:01:19,820
We are working with a steering committee.

16
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:21,780
I see some committee members here tonight.

17
00:01:21,960 --> 00:01:22,780
Thank you for coming.

18
00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:25,560
We will be working with a steering committee.

19
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:31,080
we will be providing inputs, things that we have heard from this public meeting, so that they

20
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:36,180
understand the kinds of things that we're hearing, but we'll meet with them three or four

21
00:01:36,180 --> 00:01:41,260
times throughout the process and we come up with draft recommendations before we roll the

22
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:47,240
thing out for another town hall there will be another town hall later the summer early fall

23
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:54,200
when we have the draft plan. So we are working with this here committee. The third thing is when

24
00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,940
You signed in, there was a little QR code, hopefully you had a chance to take a look at that.

25
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:03,300
That's a little link to a survey that we have, hopefully it won't take 10 or 15 minutes.

26
00:02:03,780 --> 00:02:07,320
Just an attitude and a survey about traffic and transportation.

27
00:02:07,940 --> 00:02:11,740
What are some things that can be done better by the Transportation Network?

28
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,400
So if you get a chance, please take that that helps us in our planning process.

29
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:23,180
One last thing, so I mentioned the capital recovery fee, recommendations that are developed

30
00:02:23,180 --> 00:02:31,020
as part of this mobility plan will also fuel the update to the cap recovery program list.

31
00:02:31,680 --> 00:02:33,540
So by law, those two have to be synced together.

32
00:02:34,260 --> 00:02:35,880
So there's kind of two efforts going on there.

33
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:38,380
There's a mandated update on the cap recovery program.

34
00:02:38,860 --> 00:02:40,060
So this will help inform that.

35
00:02:40,180 --> 00:02:42,180
So we got two things really going on tonight.

36
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,120
So we've got about 20 minute overview of the works that we're doing.

37
00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,420
Then we'll take a few minutes of general questions.

38
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:56,320
The idea is to get to these breakout tables all the maps are the same on either side, but Brian will be on one side

39
00:02:56,320 --> 00:02:57,420
I'll be on the other

40
00:02:57,420 --> 00:03:03,740
So then that way if there's any, you know, direct questions you might have we can try to answer those you can point to things on the map

41
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:06,660
But if you have some big ideas we'd love to hear those also

42
00:03:06,660 --> 00:03:11,500
Okay, so without further ado, I'll turn it over to Brian Kricks. You want to stand up or sit down?

43
00:03:12,780 --> 00:03:17,440
Stand up, stand up for a while. Thank you very much, Eddie. So thank you all for coming out tonight

44
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:22,740
We do appreciate it. Public involvement is really, really important component of the planning process.

45
00:03:23,920 --> 00:03:27,200
And we value your input. And that's why we're here today.

46
00:03:28,640 --> 00:03:34,500
So introductions, again, this is Eddie, Eddie Haas, Brian Crooks, and we're working with

47
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:47,420
Christopher Syms with the City of League City to develop a new

48
00:03:47,420 --> 00:03:55,580
So before we get in to talk about the specifics of the Therapher plan, we want to kind of give a brief overview of what Therapher planning is.

49
00:03:55,860 --> 00:04:02,040
And in its asset, it's a framework that access a guide to develop the transportation network to accommodate future demand.

50
00:04:08,690 --> 00:04:09,450
Okay, so what are the benefits?

51
00:04:09,950 --> 00:04:11,910
It access a guide for key decisions.

52
00:04:12,630 --> 00:04:14,710
And again, we talked about a framework for future mobility.

53
00:04:15,530 --> 00:04:17,830
It helps us preserve right of way, which is very important.

54
00:04:17,890 --> 00:04:21,670
We want to make sure that we have enough right of way to build roadways if we need it.

55
00:04:21,670 --> 00:04:25,630
We also don't want to build too much, but make sure we have the right size to manage the

56
00:04:25,630 --> 00:04:26,050
development.

57
00:04:26,470 --> 00:04:30,330
It is a living document, it's a policy document that can be used as reference.

58
00:04:32,130 --> 00:04:33,450
How do we develop a 34 plan?

59
00:04:33,670 --> 00:04:37,690
Well, as we see, and we talked about stakeholder public involvement is key.

60
00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:39,950
We review existing plans and projects.

61
00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:44,470
We'll conduct a safety analysis by looking at crash data, which we'll show you shortly.

62
00:04:45,130 --> 00:04:48,090
We have a vision statement, goals, and objectives that we create or follow.

63
00:04:48,090 --> 00:04:53,710
We look at travel patterns and demographics to see where the growth is, and how people are using the network.

64
00:04:54,490 --> 00:04:58,430
We look at existing issues and needs, and we have those maps out here today for you to look at.

65
00:04:58,650 --> 00:05:00,510
And then we also look at thoroughfare design standards.

66
00:05:00,770 --> 00:05:07,010
We want to make sure that our design standards and league cities are consistent across the network,

67
00:05:07,250 --> 00:05:11,890
and also they provide a good connectivity with adjacent cities.

68
00:05:12,870 --> 00:05:18,850
And from that, oops, excuse me, and from that, we get a plan report, we get updated roadway functional classes,

69
00:05:19,390 --> 00:05:24,810
we get a new therapy plan map, and we get an implementation and action plan to take those ideas

70
00:05:24,810 --> 00:05:29,190
and put them into actual plans, policies, and programs that will help us develop the roadway network.

71
00:05:30,950 --> 00:05:31,870
So how do I use it again?

72
00:05:32,070 --> 00:05:39,090
We use it as a guide, we use it as a reference, we use it as a mechanism to ensure appropriate roadway cross sections.

73
00:05:39,090 --> 00:05:41,830
We use this as a tool to coordinate planned development.

74
00:05:42,130 --> 00:05:58,710
One of the best things we see with Thurford plans are the outputs is just getting local and regional agencies to coordinate and school districts and other key stakeholders to understand each other's needs and use that cooperation coordination to develop plans that actually work for communities.

75
00:05:59,550 --> 00:06:02,090
And we also use it for resource for local data requests.

76
00:06:02,090 --> 00:06:08,510
we can use the crash data or some of the travel or demographic data as the baseline for future studies as well.

77
00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:11,910
So keys for a success for a third of our plan.

78
00:06:12,350 --> 00:06:19,310
One is we want effective data collection analysis. We want to make sure we're using the latest data, the right data for us to make the right decisions.

79
00:06:19,510 --> 00:06:23,670
We want to make sure that we have continuous stakeholder involvement like talking with you folks today.

80
00:06:24,150 --> 00:06:28,090
We want to make sure we have flexible recommendations and action plan that's

81
00:06:28,090 --> 00:06:32,070
pragmatic and reasonable, and then we want to make sure that the plan just doesn't

82
00:06:32,070 --> 00:06:36,510
sit on a shelf that we're constantly looking at it, refreshing it, as we move forward,

83
00:06:36,610 --> 00:06:39,410
as new development things, new development plots come forward.

84
00:06:39,650 --> 00:06:44,690
If we need to make changes, or revisit decisions, we can continue to do that.

85
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,580
When we do look at three different plans, they don't occur in a vacuum.

86
00:06:49,980 --> 00:06:55,240
There are all sorts of other external influences outside the community that impacted, and

87
00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:57,820
we're briefly to go over some trends that are happening in transportation.

88
00:06:58,060 --> 00:06:58,900
One thing is funding.

89
00:06:58,900 --> 00:07:03,460
The federal government is offloading a lot of funding responsibilities on the state and local

90
00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:07,380
governments, and that puts additional stresses on those funding mechanisms.

91
00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:13,520
We're seeing climate change, resilience, and people are more concerned about the impact

92
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:15,140
of transportation on the environment.

93
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:21,140
There's a real movement towards traffic safety and an understanding that we just can't

94
00:07:21,140 --> 00:07:22,080
build our way out of congestion.

95
00:07:22,180 --> 00:07:25,300
We need to look at other alternatives when we develop our transportation network.

96
00:07:25,300 --> 00:07:30,380
There's always been a push towards the bike pen, but now we're seeing things called micro-movility,

97
00:07:31,220 --> 00:07:37,700
which are smaller, self-propelled vehicles that can take the place of these regular bike

98
00:07:37,700 --> 00:07:43,000
pad. Those are becoming more and more influential. Usually in larger cities, but they are happening

99
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:55,280
in small cities as well, like e-bikes. We are seeing more e-commerce, remote work. We're seeing

100
00:07:55,280 --> 00:07:58,240
about talking about flying taxi caps.

101
00:07:58,520 --> 00:07:59,820
I think we're a little bit of ways from that,

102
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,820
but people are starting to talk about that.

103
00:08:02,700 --> 00:08:06,360
We're also seeing a move to reconsider housing choices,

104
00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,460
just having a larger understanding of the housing types

105
00:08:10,460 --> 00:08:12,500
and this missing little housing,

106
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:14,340
that's starting to talk more and more about it.

107
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,080
The impacts of COVID-19 is one as well as other ones

108
00:08:17,080 --> 00:08:18,600
that we're unsure of.

109
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:19,960
So lots and lots of influences.

110
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:21,420
And again, there's other external forces

111
00:08:21,420 --> 00:08:23,020
like changes to decision makers,

112
00:08:23,020 --> 00:08:32,300
changes in city regional plans, changes in funding, taxes and regulations that all impact how we build our transportation networks.

113
00:08:34,160 --> 00:08:36,620
And so let's get to the third of our plan, update itself.

114
00:08:37,660 --> 00:08:41,820
Our project is still working with the city is, again, we do plan input, which is

115
00:08:41,820 --> 00:08:47,800
recording with the city to collect data and coordinate between agencies to get stakeholder input and click more data.

116
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,260
We're looking at forecast growth and growth and travel behavior.

117
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:57,360
We have some of the maps show the forecast travel volumes and we're working with ACAC to get

118
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:57,860
modulated.

119
00:08:58,180 --> 00:08:59,460
Maybe do a model run.

120
00:09:00,060 --> 00:09:02,860
Again, we talked about public involvement, plan development.

121
00:09:03,780 --> 00:09:07,380
We're doing network review and doing other recommendations.

122
00:09:07,700 --> 00:09:10,680
We're going to do that roadway design classification review.

123
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,900
The plan map and report is the final product and then just general project management.

124
00:09:17,380 --> 00:09:23,140
So, the project process, again, you can see where we're starting right now, we've had the kick off,

125
00:09:23,220 --> 00:09:25,860
we're doing a plan-in, but now we're doing the stakeholder meeting.

126
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:31,220
And as we move forward, we'll start doing more demographics network review, plan development.

127
00:09:31,700 --> 00:09:36,480
The biggest thing here is the third fair plan sign-off between the capital and recovery

128
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:36,860
fee.

129
00:09:36,980 --> 00:09:45,080
So, as soon as we start trying to build determined impact fees for roadways, we have to have

130
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,580
If there are a plan pretty much buttoned up, otherwise it's going to cost us a lot of money.

131
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,960
So there is this hand off that's going to occur after the plan is finalized and then we'll

132
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:57,820
finish off developing the third of our plan and then in parallel we'll be developing the

133
00:09:57,820 --> 00:09:58,580
impact fees.

134
00:10:01,960 --> 00:10:06,120
So let's talk about what we've found so far through our initial data analysis.

135
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,180
So this is the community overview.

136
00:10:08,280 --> 00:10:14,580
This is taken from the US Census and just give you some very basic overview here.

137
00:10:14,580 --> 00:10:19,880
We see the population cohorts, which is, I think,

138
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:21,980
which is middle graph for this age profile.

139
00:10:22,200 --> 00:10:23,320
We're seeing that basically the population

140
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:27,620
is relatively evenly distributed throughout all the

141
00:10:27,620 --> 00:10:30,080
in-home classes, which means there's good representation

142
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,260
of all age groups throughout the city, except when

143
00:10:32,260 --> 00:10:34,200
they get very old or because the population drops.

144
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:38,640
We see really, really good internet access and access

145
00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:39,560
to mobile phones.

146
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:43,140
We have a relatively healthy housing stock.

147
00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:50,580
We have good household incomes and we have a lot of white color jobs and good homeownership.

148
00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:55,360
So overall basically we have a very healthy community that have a lot of good disposal income.

149
00:10:55,480 --> 00:11:03,900
Lots of very well educated population which means they're probably going to be very highly mobile and have lots of traffic activity which is what we're seeing.

150
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:13,120
And then when we look at the transportation profile in and of itself we see here about 40% of people with 40% of employees

151
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,780
within the city drive less than half an hour to work.

152
00:11:17,340 --> 00:11:19,760
But we do have about 20% of the drive over an hour.

153
00:11:20,360 --> 00:11:23,380
We see that most people have automobiles,

154
00:11:23,940 --> 00:11:26,440
and they're about 6% that don't have an automobile,

155
00:11:26,700 --> 00:11:28,480
but that doesn't mean they don't have access to one,

156
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:29,500
but that is a concern.

157
00:11:30,140 --> 00:11:31,520
Again, we see a very young cities.

158
00:11:32,020 --> 00:11:33,640
When we look at the population by generation,

159
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:36,260
we have millennials, generations, e-in generation alpha,

160
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:38,960
which are very, very young populations

161
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:40,900
comprise the majority of the population.

162
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:48,920
We have a very, very high, very well-educated population and for commute to work, almost

163
00:11:48,920 --> 00:11:54,700
everybody commutes by car, and surprisingly, 9% of people remote work, which is kind of

164
00:11:54,700 --> 00:11:58,620
consistent with what we're seeing. That is actually the second biggest commuting, which is

165
00:11:58,620 --> 00:12:00,900
the decision not to commute.

166
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:06,280
Again, population here, this is from the ACHAC forecast

167
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:11,240
from 2020 to 2045. They're showing a lot of forecast growth in the southwest corridor,

168
00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:27,280
And then along the proposed Grand Parkway to FM646 along the south, with employment growth, it's a little bit more dispersed, but there is a strong growth along the proposed Grand Parkway route FM646 as well.

169
00:12:27,940 --> 00:12:31,820
In terms of development, this was taken from our water and wastewater group.

170
00:12:31,820 --> 00:12:40,840
They, again, they show a large development that the pink along the Grand Parkway then, again, scattered development, parcel development throughout the city.

171
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:52,180
So, what about the actual roadway network itself? Well, this is the 2018 Theraphyr planet you've seen on your board and this is going to form the foundation for the Theraphyr planet update.

172
00:12:52,180 --> 00:12:58,160
We can see that there's a very well-defined system of arterioles and collectors and that there are spread

173
00:12:59,460 --> 00:13:01,980
appropriately throughout the city at proper intervals.

174
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:09,280
When we look at projects and planning, we can see all the various projects that are in various stages of planning that

175
00:13:09,280 --> 00:13:13,280
doesn't mean that they're all going to get built next week, but they're in very they're doing

176
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:21,380
design or doing environmental clearance. We know with the Grand Parkway right now and Chris I'll let you jump in if you want to.

177
00:13:22,540 --> 00:13:28,160
If you really want to, it's planned for construction in 2526 with a completion date in

178
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,440
2029 as of right now.

179
00:13:33,640 --> 00:13:38,260
We also did, we will look at traffic counts and we look at screen lines so we can see

180
00:13:38,260 --> 00:13:40,020
how people are moving in and out of the city.

181
00:13:40,660 --> 00:13:45,880
And so what we're seeing here right now is that most of the traffic is happening, most of the

182
00:13:45,880 --> 00:13:51,360
access and egress into and out of the city is happening in the central part followed by the

183
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,620
Eastern portion and then the Western portion.

184
00:13:55,380 --> 00:13:59,840
Okay, but when we look at traffic volumes itself, we're seeing that again, most of the

185
00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,800
traffic volume is hopping along 45 again with some major traffic flows hopping along

186
00:14:04,800 --> 00:14:08,340
Main Street and SH96.

187
00:14:09,100 --> 00:14:13,940
We also notice in 2045 with the addition of the Grand Parkway, we're not really seeing

188
00:14:13,940 --> 00:14:17,620
as big an impact as we would expect along the entire roadway network.

189
00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:24,320
We are seeing it continuing along FM646, but we're not necessarily seeing it extend to the

190
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:28,480
rest of the network, which is a little surprising, but we're going to revisit that when we do

191
00:14:28,480 --> 00:14:30,580
our analysis as we continue on with the study.

192
00:14:32,650 --> 00:14:37,250
Commuter flows, this is a little bit confusing, so I'm going to walk you through it.

193
00:14:37,510 --> 00:14:43,150
This is from the Census Bureau, and it's looking at basically a commuter flows into and out

194
00:14:43,150 --> 00:14:44,430
of the city overall.

195
00:14:44,430 --> 00:14:48,390
So what it's showing you here is that most people leave

196
00:14:48,390 --> 00:14:50,710
league city to work in other communities.

197
00:14:51,410 --> 00:14:53,370
Only a very small percentage of people actually live

198
00:14:53,370 --> 00:14:54,890
and work within league city.

199
00:14:55,450 --> 00:14:56,770
And for those people that do leave,

200
00:14:57,230 --> 00:14:59,970
they are going sort of up 45 towards you.

201
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,180
Or to the surrounding communities adjacent to league city.

202
00:15:06,820 --> 00:15:12,500
In terms of accidents, this is access from 2013 to 2022 that we took from the text.database.

203
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:21,200
And this is all accidents and then we put the fatal accidents above. There's been roughly around 50 fatal accidents in the past 11 years.

204
00:15:21,720 --> 00:15:28,960
Most of these accidents are happening on text.run facility, so interstate, state highways, farm to market roads.

205
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:36,440
But we are seeing on occasion some fail accidents occurring on the local roadway network and we're seeing these little spots.

206
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:46,260
These little blurs where there are some accidents and activity not fail accidents happening within a community which tells us there might be opportunities for us to implement some programs to improve roadway safety.

207
00:15:46,600 --> 00:15:48,640
But we're going to look into that a bit more.

208
00:15:50,430 --> 00:15:52,410
Issues and needs we've already had a stakeholder meeting.

209
00:15:52,610 --> 00:15:53,010
We came down.

210
00:15:53,110 --> 00:15:54,230
We talked to the school districts.

211
00:15:54,630 --> 00:15:57,930
We talked to the city and we talked to various community leaders.

212
00:15:57,930 --> 00:16:01,050
And we develop this issues and needs map.

213
00:16:01,250 --> 00:16:03,010
Based upon what we've collected so far,

214
00:16:03,310 --> 00:16:05,990
we do have copies of these maps on the boards

215
00:16:05,990 --> 00:16:07,890
so you can look at them in a little bit more detail.

216
00:16:08,510 --> 00:16:10,290
But we're seeing, you know, they're telling us

217
00:16:10,290 --> 00:16:12,250
accident locations, areas of congestion,

218
00:16:12,370 --> 00:16:15,150
where we need sidewalks and things like this,

219
00:16:15,350 --> 00:16:16,010
and planned development.

220
00:16:16,130 --> 00:16:17,290
So you can look at those maps,

221
00:16:17,390 --> 00:16:18,710
and when we do our breakout sessions,

222
00:16:19,170 --> 00:16:20,410
you can provide additional comments.

223
00:16:20,610 --> 00:16:21,750
We'd really appreciate that.

224
00:16:24,180 --> 00:16:26,060
So now that with this is sort of ends our presentation,

225
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:27,320
so what do we need for you?

226
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:28,040
We need your input.

227
00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:32,520
But you guys are the transportation experts, you live in this community, you travel throughout

228
00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:38,100
this community, you have intimate knowledge that we want to gather so that we can make

229
00:16:38,100 --> 00:16:42,220
the best decisions and help put together the best mobility plan we possibly can.

230
00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:45,760
There's also a survey we've talked about, and you talked about earlier, we'd love for you to

231
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:50,080
take that survey, takes around five minutes, and there's also an opportunity for you to

232
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:52,260
click on a map and provide comments.

233
00:17:00,620 --> 00:17:01,640
OK,

234
00:17:11,600 --> 00:17:14,160
and why do you think they need a commuter rail train?

235
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:27,700
OK, so your concerns are really solutions to make the roadway safer.

236
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:34,360
Whether that's adding in some form of other transportation mode or just improving traffic safety.

237
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:35,560
Would that be?

238
00:18:08,700 --> 00:18:09,620
OK, sure.

239
00:18:21,810 --> 00:18:25,830
Well, let's make sure we get your comments when we do our breakout sessions that we write

240
00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:29,650
them down, so they're recorded, and then our team can have a look at that.

241
00:18:29,930 --> 00:18:34,750
You know, somebody else has already brought that up about transportation services for

242
00:18:34,750 --> 00:18:37,950
special needs, so we want to make sure that's included in the input session.

243
00:18:50,780 --> 00:18:50,880
Okay.

244
00:18:51,380 --> 00:18:52,940
We'll talk afterwards, okay?

245
00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:54,240
Is there any questions?

246
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:54,880
I

247
00:19:22,910 --> 00:19:24,470
think it applies to people.

248
00:19:24,470 --> 00:19:28,750
People are almost in the case of constantly, and it's been worse and worse and worse

249
00:19:28,750 --> 00:19:29,510
and worse than ever.

250
00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:30,490
Okay.

251
00:19:30,890 --> 00:19:32,850
Well, please, we do have maps.

252
00:19:33,230 --> 00:19:38,110
We want you to go and mark up the maps where you think the problems are or what your concerns

253
00:19:38,110 --> 00:19:38,570
are.

254
00:19:38,750 --> 00:19:42,750
This is why we have the public meaning so that you can make sure that those concerns are written

255
00:19:42,750 --> 00:19:42,930
down.

256
00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:45,840
I think

257
00:20:12,150 --> 00:20:17,330
when it comes to the bus route in a call from Mars, that is strictly a school

258
00:20:17,330 --> 00:20:19,190
district decision not to sit.

259
00:20:19,510 --> 00:20:25,550
So we look at it from a state that gets there exactly in the middle of the city, but the

260
00:20:25,550 --> 00:20:31,830
actual traffic direction comes from the CSA, so it's a bit of an office.

261
00:20:32,130 --> 00:20:35,970
I know that's totally an interesting question, but I have a doubt that I'm seeing one more

262
00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:52,970
So what I know we've been one of the tools that we have on the top of all, is the one of all of us are the

263
00:20:52,970 --> 00:20:54,470
third things I have.

264
00:20:54,650 --> 00:20:57,430
These are even media to me, and they're the one product.

265
00:20:58,630 --> 00:21:06,750
So we have multiple time activities, just a few years of safe rock school, right

266
00:21:06,750 --> 00:21:12,690
for us, or sidewalks, and those areas, we've been unsuccessful in securing any

267
00:21:12,690 --> 00:21:14,930
more of which work, or I think, all of that in process.

268
00:21:15,770 --> 00:21:19,370
We work with the developers that they come in on the main and why hence they're

269
00:21:19,370 --> 00:21:20,010
in the future.

270
00:21:20,490 --> 00:21:27,230
So that's not really the answer for a quick day, so I should say.

271
00:21:47,850 --> 00:22:00,170
And there are programs, I don't know, if you're doing safe routes to school through HGAC, they offered there's a specific program to try and improve, make this kids traveling to school safer.

272
00:22:00,170 --> 00:22:05,230
We did talk to some stakeholders already, the school districts, we did talk to them.

273
00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:10,970
They did make us very clear that they're concerned about the safety of kids going to school.

274
00:22:11,470 --> 00:22:17,750
We do also have crash data so we can look at where are the accidents, where pedestrians

275
00:22:17,750 --> 00:22:23,850
and cyclists have been hit, not all accidents are reported, but we can look into it and it

276
00:22:23,850 --> 00:22:28,010
should help us with all those things that should help, but please make sure we get your comments

277
00:22:28,010 --> 00:22:32,350
down and please mark up the maps before you leave about the areas that you're concerned about

278
00:22:32,350 --> 00:22:35,930
and market so that we know exactly the areas that you're concerned about.

279
00:22:36,270 --> 00:22:39,850
And this is exactly what we want you to do in the public meeting as to tell us your concerns.

280
00:22:40,450 --> 00:22:41,570
Mark them down.

281
00:22:42,430 --> 00:22:46,570
Don't please just don't leave, go ahead and mark up a map, make a note so that we know exactly

282
00:22:46,570 --> 00:22:48,470
what you're talking about.

283
00:22:49,010 --> 00:22:51,230
Is there any other comments for right now?

284
00:22:54,040 --> 00:22:54,200
Okay.

285
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,260
So what we're going to do is we're going to go into a breakout session, which means

286
00:22:57,260 --> 00:22:59,380
The idea and I will each take half the room,

287
00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,000
and we have a map for you to mark up,

288
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:03,760
and we have the boards, and we have a chart,

289
00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,820
so we can talk to you about any issues that you have.

290
00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,340
Feel free to talk to us about really anything

291
00:23:09,340 --> 00:23:11,160
we're getting transportation and league city,

292
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:13,680
and make sure that you get any input that you have

293
00:23:13,680 --> 00:23:15,880
or concerns you have are marked down,

294
00:23:16,020 --> 00:23:17,960
so we can go back, look into them,

295
00:23:17,980 --> 00:23:19,800
and formulate a response and make sure

296
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,120
that your concerns are included in any kind of plan update.

297
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:26,440
Okay, is there anything else to Chris?

298
00:23:49,380 --> 00:23:53,180
That doesn't mean that those portions of the city are quite late

299
00:23:53,180 --> 00:23:57,140
or that it's not called the road to what the city says

300
00:23:57,140 --> 00:24:01,540
that it's not called or to what the city says.

301
00:24:04,730 --> 00:24:08,270
So the issue for the city is that it's not our kind of interesting

302
00:24:08,270 --> 00:24:10,410
and it's not that they can't be corrected.

303
00:24:10,790 --> 00:24:11,730
They can't be paid.

304
00:24:11,730 --> 00:24:20,210
It's a whole different government agency, and it's not a quick process to get it through.

305
00:24:20,990 --> 00:24:28,050
So when you're talking about these to the fourth way, you know, we have to call them.

306
00:24:28,050 --> 00:24:29,610
We have it for the set process.

307
00:24:29,830 --> 00:24:33,470
They say it's a way to get it through to our CFB.

308
00:24:33,730 --> 00:24:34,070
It's fun.

309
00:24:34,290 --> 00:24:34,730
It's fun.

310
00:24:34,950 --> 00:24:35,450
It's fun.

311
00:24:36,350 --> 00:24:37,430
It's a lot of CFB projects.

312
00:24:41,970 --> 00:24:50,210
So you have a work in the set of process, it is to get text off, talk, content, you're competing with

313
00:24:50,210 --> 00:24:57,950
and which other things stop running in the region and to say that there's much more complex

314
00:24:57,950 --> 00:25:03,730
process to be included in half of the project. So again, I'm not saying that that's not something

315
00:25:03,730 --> 00:25:09,210
we don't really want to be able to have concern about that. But I just want to point out that it's a

316
00:25:09,210 --> 00:25:14,310
different process when you thought they would work if you could see that in the past.

317
00:25:15,490 --> 00:25:19,950
Again, and just let me add a little bit of thing. There are, depending on the, it's a lot of

318
00:25:19,950 --> 00:25:26,330
it depends on improvement. Some projects, it's very competitive to get funds. Some projects,

319
00:25:26,330 --> 00:25:33,990
The district already has funds that they disperse out to the cities based upon a different process.

320
00:25:34,810 --> 00:25:41,470
So obviously the bigger like the commuter rail projects, the high speed rail projects, the overpasses,

321
00:25:41,610 --> 00:25:47,130
those are going to be much more competitive than if we're doing like a small safety treatment project.

322
00:25:51,860 --> 00:25:56,800
So when we look at improvements while we like, everybody likes the big projects,

323
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,980
right? Everybody likes it. But the reality is you can get a lot of good benefits from these small projects.

324
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:09,200
And text out, one thing that text that does look for is projects that are shovel ready because there's always projects that get delayed and deferred.

325
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:15,760
And suddenly the text out has a bit of money left over at the end of the fiscal year. So if you have some small projects that are ready to go,

326
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,260
you have a really good, I'm not, it's not guaranteed, but you have a chance of actually getting funds to build those projects.

327
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,300
So, but there are also other, yes sir,

328
00:26:32,650 --> 00:26:33,450
main at 45.

329
00:27:10,780 --> 00:27:11,540
We can,

330
00:27:19,030 --> 00:27:24,430
we'll have to, we'll have to go through and see what, you know, if people say, well, we want to have a space port in Galveston.

331
00:27:24,430 --> 00:27:26,810
We're probably not going to submit that to text.

332
00:27:27,070 --> 00:27:29,190
But if it's what we're looking for, I mean,

333
00:27:29,430 --> 00:27:30,870
everything that you say is recorded.

334
00:27:31,390 --> 00:27:34,290
It goes in the plan, goes like, it's recorded as a comment.

335
00:27:35,070 --> 00:27:37,230
But what we do is we look for, we go through the comments,

336
00:27:37,550 --> 00:27:39,910
and we generally see things that are happening,

337
00:27:40,410 --> 00:27:43,910
or we see specific things that we haven't heard of that are

338
00:27:43,910 --> 00:27:46,510
are concerned, like the young lady mentioned about services

339
00:27:46,510 --> 00:27:47,730
for disabled people.

340
00:27:47,850 --> 00:27:49,450
Well, we got to jump on that.

341
00:27:49,850 --> 00:27:52,390
Okay, that's not, that's not going to slip through the cracks.

342
00:27:52,390 --> 00:27:58,290
we're definitely going to contact partners and find out exactly what do, do our due diligence

343
00:27:58,290 --> 00:28:02,670
to find out exactly what services are provided and make sure that there is going to be some

344
00:28:02,670 --> 00:28:10,730
information in the mobility plan talking specifically about services for disabled persons. Absolutely.

345
00:28:15,540 --> 00:28:21,180
Okay, well let's, when we just take a few minutes and then we'll break out into groups, please go ahead

346
00:28:21,180 --> 00:28:25,880
and do the survey if you can't stay. We hope that you can all stay and please make sure we write

347
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:31,060
any comments, mark up the maps, please leave as much information as you possibly can so that

348
00:28:31,060 --> 00:28:34,120
we can use that to help us update the mobility plan.

349
00:28:37,460 --> 00:28:43,440
30 days, and we've talked about, we may open it up later on because right now a lot of schools

350
00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:46,880
are closed, so we haven't been able to distribute this for a minute, but it is open.

351
00:28:47,760 --> 00:28:52,420
It doesn't take you as something that you can do while you're at the dentist's office or it doesn't take

352
00:28:52,420 --> 00:28:55,500
for a long time to design for that you can do it on your phone, so it's very, very quick.

353
00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,460
All right, well thank you very much for coming and we look forward to talking to you some more.
