And for those who are watching at home and are not familiar with what that is, there's the highest designation of what a country can receive for travel or not. And what that means is that U.S. government employees are not allowed to travel in a Haiti. It is considered an extreme risk of crime and other challenges that can come if you go to that country. So it is not a safe place according to our own U.S. government. And it frankly has not been for a very 74 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:37,320 long time. And to see that we're suddenly declaring and ripping apart the temporary protected 75 00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:43,620 status for the thousands of patients that live in this community and across mighty county 76 00:10:43,620 --> 00:10:50,480 is incredibly, to me personally, disturbing. I mean, I think that we are a country that should 77 00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:58,480 welcome people who are in really horrible situations and are not able to go home. And this is 78 00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:03,200 think something that I believe is the right thing for our community to do, and then also I 79 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,580 want to highlight as well the economic case that has been made where thousands upon thousands 80 00:11:08,580 --> 00:11:14,020 of Haitian Americans who are here on this TPS status are actually working in our community, 81 00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:20,220 in our full members of our community in many ways, including the gentleman, the Charles just mentioned. 82 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,160 So it's really unfortunate to have this just ripped apart and to have families essentially being sent 83 00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:30,640 back to a place that our own government says is unsafe, is just not acceptable to me, and I think 84 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:31,820 our village would take a stand. 85 00:11:32,100 --> 00:11:36,000 And part of the reason why, as well, that I want to bring this, is that we're in a very sensitive 86 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:42,720 time period, according to the last I checked, tomorrow is the day that a lot of these Haitians 87 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,160 can lose their TPS. 88 00:11:45,220 --> 00:11:50,260 And it's also currently in the Senate, and our actual local congressional delegation, 89 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:56,460 Congressmen, Hemenas, and Congresswoman Maria Salazar, and Congressmen Diazville are all voted 90 00:11:56,460 --> 00:12:00,500 to keep TPS on the books, but it's still stuck in the Senate at the moment, and whatever 91 00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:04,320 pressure that we can play as a local government and also as residents of this community 92 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:10,440 end of this state to the Senate message to both Senator Rick Scott, and also Senator Ashley 93 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:10,700 Moody. 94 00:12:10,940 --> 00:12:11,820 We have to do our part. 95 00:12:12,420 --> 00:12:15,400 So, I want to put this out there and ask for your support, and once again, thank you 96 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:15,940 very much. 97 00:12:17,610 --> 00:12:24,350 Very good.

They're all going to be sent back. 170 00:17:34,860 --> 00:17:37,260 And it, frankly, to me, is appalling. 171 00:17:37,460 --> 00:17:45,900 I have worked with a number of people who are from Haiti, over the years, and are descended 172 00:17:45,900 --> 00:17:49,060 from people who came to this country from Haiti. 173 00:17:51,320 --> 00:17:57,480 And I wholeheartedly support this, and I would ask the Vice Mayor if he would allow me to 174 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,480 be named as a co-sponsor on this. 175 00:18:01,270 --> 00:18:02,990 Anyone else want to be a co-sponsor as well? 176 00:18:02,990 --> 00:18:07,630 Yeah, I was going to ask, so I think you have everybody that looks like a perfect time. 177 00:18:08,230 --> 00:18:08,770 Thank you, my bear. 178 00:18:09,030 --> 00:18:09,450 Thank you. 179 00:18:09,550 --> 00:18:10,330 Anyone else? 180 00:18:10,970 --> 00:18:11,250 Yes. 181 00:18:12,210 --> 00:18:17,990 I think it's wrong to send these folks back to a country where they may be killed. 182 00:18:18,570 --> 00:18:21,130 Really, it's 80s and such bad shape. 183 00:18:21,950 --> 00:18:29,630 So I'm supportive of this, and I hope that our senators, Moody and Scott will support it. 184 00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:31,110 We'll support bringing it forth. 185 00:18:31,110 --> 00:18:37,170 because it's wrong, it's absolutely wrong to send them back to that desperate situation in Haiti. 186 00:18:39,830 --> 00:18:42,430 Great. Anything else? Yes, Vice Mayor? 187 00:18:42,750 --> 00:18:47,810 Yeah, I also, since the mayor's office is here, I also wanted to point out that her office has been working on this issue, 188 00:18:47,810 --> 00:18:50,330 and I wanted to say thank you. So that's all. 189 00:18:52,120 --> 00:18:55,260 All right, thank you. If I didn't, I think I mentioned at the beginning, 190 00:18:55,780 --> 00:19:00,700 but me a divain is here tonight from Mayor Daniela Livingkov's office. 191 00:19:01,140 --> 00:19:03,260 Thank you for joining us. 192 00:19:03,260 --> 00:19:07,120 anything else? All right, then all those in favor? 193 00:19:07,540 --> 00:19:12,040 All right. Anyone opposed?

You've never come at least that I've seen. 196 00:19:22,580 --> 00:19:26,490 I've been here for more than a minute, never come to a meeting before, 197 00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:31,500 but you felt so passionate about this that you chose to leave your home 198 00:19:31,500 --> 00:19:44,660 and come over this evening, so I just want to say thank you, I think that speaks volumes about the people, speaks volumes about you for sure, but certainly about the compassion we have here in our beautiful village, so thank you. 199 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,680 All right, we have item 3b with somebody move it. 200 00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:57,520 Madam Mayor, before we make the motion, I just make a request on some language to include in that because it's slightly different since this is an emergency special meeting. 201 00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:58,180 Okay, sure. 202 00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,680 Is this on the item we just passed? 203 00:19:59,680 --> 00:19:59,920 Let's go. 204 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,460 It's on the one that we're going to, that was why. 205 00:20:02,460 --> 00:20:02,780 Okay. 206 00:20:04,460 --> 00:20:14,840 I would just ask that, if whoever moves it, that you move its consideration in accordance with the emergency terms of section 2-44B of the village code. 207 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:17,460 Okay. Would somebody move it? 208 00:20:17,580 --> 00:20:20,580 With that language, it's been moved. Is there a second? 209 00:20:20,620 --> 00:20:21,400 Thank you. 210 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,420 All those in favor? 211 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:24,320 Anyone opposed? 212 00:20:25,100 --> 00:20:25,840 All right. 213 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:29,700 Madam Clerk, can you read the item? 214 00:20:32,720 --> 00:20:40,440 Item 3B is a resolution urging Miami-Dade County to conduct an expedited feasibility study 215 00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:47,020 to evaluate reducing the posted speed limit on Southwest 87th Avenue in the vicinity of the 216 00:20:47,020 --> 00:20:50,740 new bridge located near Southwest 164th Street. 217 00:20:51,220 --> 00:20:57,200 Expressing concerns regarding increased vehicle or speeds and the safety of pedestrians 218 00:20:57,200 --> 00:21:03,600 bicyclists, motorists, and nearby residents, requesting the implementation of appropriate traffic 219 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:10,000 calming and safety measures as warranted, directing the manager to transmit this resolution 220 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,240 to the appropriate officials. This resolution is sponsored by Council Member Patrick Fiori. 221 00:21:17,900 --> 00:21:22,040 Thank you. I would, I'm going to turn it over to Council Member Fiori. If I could, though, 222 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,920 At some point, Councilmember, we had a meeting today. 223 00:21:26,340 --> 00:21:33,780 Mr. Vain was part of the meeting with several directors and staff from public services 224 00:21:33,780 --> 00:21:41,280 with Miami-Dade County to talk about this and other, I am more emergency type items. 225 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:46,100 So at some point, if you would allow the manager just to give an update on that, I would 226 00:21:46,100 --> 00:21:46,840 appreciate it. 227 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:47,620 Thank you, Madam Mayor. 228 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,660 I wasn't aware of that, so I wanted to do the resolution. 229 00:21:50,840 --> 00:21:51,220 Thank you. 230 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:59,140 Basically, since we were having this emergency meeting tonight, this is an emergency as far 231 00:21:59,140 --> 00:22:04,340 as it affects the life, health, property, and public peace of village residents, you've 232 00:22:04,340 --> 00:22:09,900 all received the emails or phone calls as I have concerning already the speeding. 233 00:22:10,140 --> 00:22:19,080 It's only been four or five days, I guess, since the bridge opened and I don't, I know we 234 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:25,740 passed a resolution sponsored by the mayor, our mayor here several months ago, for the 235 00:22:25,740 --> 00:22:33,000 county to get involved in this. But the issue I believe is expediency in regards to the 236 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:38,820 safety. I mean, there was, again, according to the email and I know the police were out there. 237 00:22:38,820 --> 00:22:45,720 There was almost a tragic incident, I believe, with a child and a bike. I don't have all the 238 00:22:45,720 --> 00:22:54,500 details. But I think before I was not aware until the clerk told me today that I thought 239 00:22:54,500 --> 00:22:59,440 school started like August 25th, there's something. But now I hear it's like a two-and-a-half 240 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:05,420 weeks or three weeks less than three weeks. So there's a sense of urgency here. And basically 241 00:23:05,420 --> 00:23:10,420 you can all read the resolution. Again, it wasn't aware that the mayor had a meeting with 242 00:23:10,420 --> 00:23:17,120 County Mayor today so, but you know, I still think we should pass this on and do everything 243 00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:25,220 we can through our manager to get the County Public Works to move on this and I'll turn 244 00:23:25,220 --> 00:23:26,100 it over to the manager. 245 00:23:26,300 --> 00:23:27,560 Thank you, Madam Mayor. 246 00:23:28,780 --> 00:23:29,120 Thank you. 247 00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:30,760 Thank you, Councilman Fury. 248 00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:38,320 Just to briefly summarize the meeting that we held today with Miami-Dade Counter County 249 00:23:38,320 --> 00:23:41,020 at the request of Mayor Cunningham. 250 00:23:42,340 --> 00:23:49,160 The county public works department was represented in that meeting, and we presented together 251 00:23:49,160 --> 00:23:56,800 with the Palmetobay Municipal District, the Sheriff's Office here, a number of compelling 252 00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:02,360 safety concerns that we thought the county needed to take immediate action on. 253 00:24:02,360 --> 00:24:16,740 3 in particular. Number 1 in Councilman Fiori, you've already brought up the Crosswalk situation, both at 87th and 164th Street, and at 87th and 163rd Terrace. 254 00:24:17,360 --> 00:24:29,020 There are existing Crosswalks that are there. The East West Crosswalks, that is the ones that would cross 87th Avenue are unmarked. 255 00:24:29,020 --> 00:24:56,540 There's no striping, there's no warning that there's a crosswalk, and it's compounded by the fact that the crown of the bridge is such that vehicles, whether you're traveling north or south across the bridge, you're potentially in a position of not having enough reaction and stopping time if there's someone in the middle of the crosswalk, again, either north or south of the bridge. 256 00:24:56,540 --> 00:24:59,980 We brought that and the the shower. 257 00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:06,740 Service office here went out, did an assessment, and that was frankly their assessment that we passed 258 00:25:06,740 --> 00:25:12,100 on to the county. Our recommendation to my immediate county, Department of Transportation and 259 00:25:12,100 --> 00:25:20,540 Public Works, is that they modify the location of the crosswalks. Currently, they're in a position 260 00:25:20,540 --> 00:25:27,140 that due to the construction of the bridge makes it in our assessment unsafe for pedestrians 261 00:25:27,140 --> 00:25:50,180 crossing the county will meet our sheriff's onsite tomorrow morning and then next week I think on Tuesday the engineers will come out again in the morning and will meet both public works director the sheriff and myself on the bridge and we're looking at that being on Tuesday morning. 262 00:25:50,180 --> 00:25:57,340 The second issue that we presented was the overall level of speeding on 87th Avenue. 263 00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:03,440 Again, mainly north of the bridge and both in the morning and in the afternoon. 264 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:11,160 Just to give you a frame of reference on the first day of the week that the bridge was open on Monday. 265 00:26:11,900 --> 00:26:15,180 The sheriff's office handed out 13 tickets. 266 00:26:15,180 --> 00:26:18,840 It's been double digits every day of the week. 267 00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:21,820 Today I'm told and this was a few hours ago. 268 00:26:22,240 --> 00:26:23,560 They were already at 10. 269 00:26:24,420 --> 00:26:29,740 So we're handing out double digits, double digit worth of tickets. 270 00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:37,520 And we do believe the speed limit itself on 87th Avenue should be looked at. 271 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:44,280 We recommended a reduction from 168th to 150 second streets 272 00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:50,100 that the county reduced from 30 miles per hour to 25 miles per hour. 273 00:26:51,220 --> 00:26:54,060 Again, that is something that the county can get on immediately. 274 00:26:54,740 --> 00:26:58,920 We also recommended that the county in place, permanent, 275 00:26:59,020 --> 00:27:04,760 or pedestal-mounted, radar speed signs. 276 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:10,580 We currently have our trailers out there, and the Sheriff's Office here 277 00:27:10,580 --> 00:27:17,120 has strategically placed trailers, both north and speed trailers, north and south of the bridge. 278 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:22,780 They do have an effect on how fast people are traveling, and we think they should 279 00:27:22,780 --> 00:27:28,780 be made permanent and, again, on a pole or a pedestal type mounting. 280 00:27:30,220 --> 00:27:38,720 So to summarize the three big points were the pedestrian crossing, 164th, 163rd tires. 281 00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:48,240 The overall speed limit reduced that to 25, put in a number of permanent radar speed 282 00:27:48,240 --> 00:27:49,020 warning signs. 283 00:27:49,460 --> 00:27:56,680 There was also several locations where signs, both speed signs and other directional 284 00:27:56,680 --> 00:28:04,520 signs have been obscured by vegetation or trees or the emplacement of the sign and where 285 00:28:04,520 --> 00:28:06,380 the bridge was built. 286 00:28:06,380 --> 00:28:14,660 We made recommendations to the county that they either trim the vegetation or relocate the sign as would be appropriate. 287 00:28:15,460 --> 00:28:18,600 There's a number of other great ideas that residents have submitted. 288 00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:27,320 We're going to work with the county in a more deliberate manner after the county does a detailed traffic study. 289 00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:36,400 They have the engineers that made a good point that the best way to do it would be after 290 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:42,500 school goes back and the traffic pattern stabilizes the county will do a more detailed 291 00:28:42,500 --> 00:28:49,300 traffic study and will be able to in place additional traffic calming and traffic control 292 00:28:49,300 --> 00:28:51,480 measures based on data. 293 00:28:51,480 --> 00:29:00,080 The county also informed us that they had done a recently, before the bridge opened, they had done a traffic study to update 294 00:29:00,080 --> 00:29:04,320 camps, traffic patterns, and things like that. 295 00:29:04,660 --> 00:29:11,920 So when they do the post-opening study, they'll have very recent data that they can compare it against. 296 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:13,420 That's a quick summary. 297 00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:16,480 Happy to answer any questions that any of you may have. 298 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:20,120 Are there questions to the manager, Vice Mayor? 299 00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:21,920 Yeah, thank you for that. 300 00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,560 So by the sounds of it, the county is waiting for school to start and then they're going 301 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:30,420 to do a traffic study and then do implementation of whatever ideas come out from that study. 302 00:29:31,420 --> 00:29:37,300 I want to be clear Mr. Vice Mayor, for the three items that we thought they could do immediately. 303 00:29:37,820 --> 00:29:40,000 They're going to take a look at doing them immediately. 304 00:29:40,540 --> 00:29:44,360 To answer your question on the more holistic, 305 00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:50,600 traffic, traffic, traffic control, yes, after the traffic patterns have stabilized. 306 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:55,820 Sure. And I guess my next question would be, I remember this council approved a 20 307 00:29:55,820 --> 00:29:59,880 hour speed limit, and I'm wondering if we decide to wear those signs and implement. 308 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:10,900 In the next fiscal year, I'm wondering if that area can be prioritized for that 20, in this surrounding area. So that, especially if they start getting cut through, we're already responding to that. I'm wondering if that's a possibility. 309 00:30:11,700 --> 00:30:12,900 We certainly can. 310 00:30:13,160 --> 00:30:29,980 Perfect. And the last question is, I know that there's discussion about potentially doing some pop-ups or temporary measures in place in terms of the actual intersections around 87th Avenue, specifically talking about potentially converting some of the four-way stops into many roundabouts. 311 00:30:29,980 --> 00:30:34,300 or other improvements that we've done elsewhere in the village with temporary pop-up materials. 312 00:30:34,660 --> 00:30:38,660 I'm wondering if that's part of our consideration, if that's something the county could consider as well. 313 00:30:39,120 --> 00:30:41,880 So that's a great question Mr. Vice Mayor. 314 00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:51,560 Fewer members as part of our safe streets for all project, they actually scoped out at 160th and 87th 315 00:30:51,560 --> 00:31:02,100 have a quick build round about. In April, once we got the detail plans from our consultant, 316 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:10,600 we went to Miami-Dade County. We provided the conceptual diagram of how that intersection 317 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:16,120 would look. That's another of the items that the county wants to do a detailed traffic 318 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:22,840 study on. So at this time, they're not opposed to it. They do recognize the importance of keeping 319 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:29,480 traffic moving on 87th Avenue. That'll cut down the cut through traffic through the neighborhoods 320 00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:36,540 to the minimal extent possible. So they're not opposed to it. They just want to see the data 321 00:31:36,540 --> 00:31:37,060 Thank 322 00:31:39,560 --> 00:31:41,320 you. 323 00:31:41,500 --> 00:31:41,760 Questions? 324 00:31:43,740 --> 00:31:44,820 I have some questions. 325 00:31:45,260 --> 00:31:45,660 I have a manager. 326 00:31:46,460 --> 00:31:49,980 Was there any discussion about the South 87th Avenue, 327 00:31:50,120 --> 00:31:53,800 below the bridge, South the bridge, in terms of the four-way stop, 328 00:31:54,020 --> 00:31:56,300 and all the right turn signs going into Mountbrook? 329 00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:59,340 You mean down at 174th or? 330 00:31:59,340 --> 00:31:59,800 Yes. 331 00:32:00,940 --> 00:32:03,680 No ma'am, that did not come up in the meeting today, 332 00:32:04,020 --> 00:32:06,640 but we do intend to bring that up, 333 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:14,360 because we've requested that when this post-opening study is done, it includes the entirety of 334 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:22,600 87,000 years through Palmetto Bay. So really, all the way up to at least 144th, but starting at 335 00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:28,800 184th, so it wouldn't include the Malvaric area. But we did not talk about that today, it answered your 336 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:29,020 question. 337 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:37,880 If I could, and just a piggyback, first of all, thank you if you would me to Mayor 338 00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:41,080 of being caught for putting today's meeting together so quickly. 339 00:32:41,740 --> 00:32:47,500 I had reached out to Ron's Sunday on Monday with a little more urgency, and so I appreciate 340 00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:47,960 that. 341 00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:53,260 The manager has actually, and you highlighted it, has been working, well you've been working 342 00:32:53,260 --> 00:33:00,200 with the county forever, but you've also specifically, as it relates to this, has been working 343 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:07,760 with the county March 23rd was the date of the email that you sent to the staff. 344 00:33:07,760 --> 00:33:25,080 I don't know if there was a response if the commissioner's office responded to try and help us move forward with some of these highlighted two items here, which was the warrant analysis for the removal of northbound and southbound stop signs. 345 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:51,200 at the current all-way stop at 155 and 87 and replacement of all-way stop signs at 160 and 87 with a, I'm sorry, replacement of, not placement, with a quick build, many traffic circle and you share the conceptual design from our safe routes, safe routes home planning. 346 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:59,220 I on a couple of days ago and I know Mark, I think you're meeting with a group on 87th Avenue. 347 00:33:59,820 --> 00:34:08,200 I met with a group and really just succinctly asked them because they've got a WhatsApp group that's got a lot going on. 348 00:34:08,840 --> 00:34:18,280 I asked one individual if you could just run through what you feel is the most, you know, a greachous safety issues. 349 00:34:18,280 --> 00:34:27,660 So, first of all, Pat, Councilmember Fiori, thank you for bringing the item, I appreciate 350 00:34:27,660 --> 00:34:31,120 and I do want to co-sponsor, I'm sure my colleagues do as well. 351 00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:37,360 But what I really appreciated about the residents was that they highlighted, they're very 352 00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:42,690 clear on the fact that they know that the traffic study should not be done until after there's 353 00:34:42,690 --> 00:34:50,450 maximum traffic which will be after the school year starts and they highlighted a handful 354 00:34:50,450 --> 00:34:56,810 seven items and that was specifically what I had asked for which was you know you can 355 00:34:56,810 --> 00:34:59,590 see the text I'm not in there their neighborhood. 356 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,520 Group chat. But I said, you can see the text, could you go through and just identify those things that 357 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:13,560 are safety to life as the way I consider them. So I do want to say thank you to the residents 358 00:35:14,240 --> 00:35:21,720 that contributed in that way with the professionalism and knowledge that, hey, we're being impacted. 359 00:35:22,660 --> 00:35:26,740 And we know that, you know, down the road, we're going to have to wait for some things. But there 360 00:35:26,740 --> 00:35:30,060 some things that are immediate in nature. 361 00:35:30,620 --> 00:35:33,540 And so, as I said to the county today, 362 00:35:33,900 --> 00:35:37,820 you know, I, one of the reasons why I'm so happy 363 00:35:37,820 --> 00:35:40,940 that we have this item in addition to the number of emails 364 00:35:40,940 --> 00:35:45,140 that we have, the fact that we had a police officer go out 365 00:35:45,140 --> 00:35:50,140 and do survey and bring back our sergeant brought back 366 00:35:50,140 --> 00:35:55,220 what he felt were real concerning issues that, 367 00:35:55,220 --> 00:36:00,200 but you know, it's just a matter of, you don't see it until you know, until you're using it. 368 00:36:00,420 --> 00:36:05,580 I was able to bring those back and have that conversation with the county for me and for us. 369 00:36:05,580 --> 00:36:07,900 I feel like it's very important that we're documenting. 370 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:14,440 Because it is, and again, I know that Dr. Colley will come back. 371 00:36:14,720 --> 00:36:21,360 I'm sure with some, and sounds like we're moving forward with meeting on site. 372 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:27,360 I had suggested, I think it's going to be, I know there's going to be a partnership and 373 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:36,260 working for it, but we have to also be diligent in documenting, because I, and I shared 374 00:36:36,260 --> 00:36:44,780 with you the video, when I was driving over to tonight, I said, well, let me go down 87th Avenue 375 00:36:44,780 --> 00:36:49,300 I rarely do because I'm far enough east, I can take 80 second Avenue. 376 00:36:51,260 --> 00:36:58,340 But so I drove down 87th Avenue and I saw four or five kids on E-bikes. 377 00:36:58,680 --> 00:36:59,460 Little people. 378 00:36:59,620 --> 00:37:01,380 I mean, they were little people. 379 00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:02,300 They were little kids. 380 00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,000 There's small little E-bikes I've ever seen. 381 00:37:04,040 --> 00:37:07,520 I don't know if they're scooters or if they're, you know, I don't know the designation 382 00:37:07,520 --> 00:37:08,640 for some of these things. 383 00:37:09,580 --> 00:37:12,180 And they were crisscrossing the bridge. 384 00:37:12,180 --> 00:37:20,820 They're children, it's summertime, and they were drawn to one of the most attractive things on that route, water. 385 00:37:22,100 --> 00:37:26,560 So, there's a gate there, there are little bikes, you know, they pulled up to the water area. 386 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:30,760 I mentioned in the manager, I think we're going to have to talk about signage, et cetera. 387 00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:38,940 He hit, especially with the, with the county, you know, the, this component where someone 388 00:37:38,940 --> 00:37:44,500 observed that a child almost get hit by a car and then our police assessment indicated 389 00:37:44,500 --> 00:37:46,820 that they believe there's an issue there. 390 00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:54,380 We also talked about, as the manager mentioned, stop sign 163rd Street in 87th Terrace, because 391 00:37:54,380 --> 00:38:01,440 You can't see it. The sign's obstructed from 168 to 168th on 87th Avenue. There are no stop signs. 392 00:38:01,460 --> 00:38:09,720 It's become a race track. We talked about speed. We're taking, we're doing our part as it relates to having our deputies, 393 00:38:10,580 --> 00:38:18,380 you know, be there during peak hours. And they also said thank you for the police presence. 394 00:38:18,380 --> 00:38:28,640 They talked about people rolling right through stop signs at 160 at the 87th, which I've observed as well, that's on the north south, because you're already on a roll, right? 395 00:38:29,200 --> 00:38:39,940 You're driving, just cross the bridge, and then you get to 160th, which is really only just a few blocks away, and several people have blown that stop sign completely. 396 00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:48,200 Pointed out two, which I know will resonate with a few of my colleagues, and definitely with Mr. 397 00:38:48,280 --> 00:38:53,320 Eric Tolberg, there's a bike path on the bridge, and there's no bike path anywhere else. 398 00:38:54,240 --> 00:38:59,420 So, cyclists, they come off the bridge, I guess they're supposed to head over to the sidewalks. 399 00:38:59,420 --> 00:39:02,740 And I also mentioned, because I know this would be more of a long-term project. 400 00:39:02,740 --> 00:39:09,240 But if you want folks to be pedestrians to be safely walking in an area, you have to provide them 401 00:39:09,240 --> 00:39:13,500 and comfortable, safe walking space. 402 00:39:14,060 --> 00:39:16,640 And so the sidewalks, I know there have been some repairs 403 00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:21,500 over the years, but the sidewalks on that county street 404 00:39:21,500 --> 00:39:23,360 are largely in disrepair. 405 00:39:25,060 --> 00:39:27,700 So making sure that that occurs. 406 00:39:30,460 --> 00:39:31,420 And yeah, and that's it. 407 00:39:31,740 --> 00:39:36,140 And again, I know that we're going to make some motion here, 408 00:39:36,140 --> 00:39:59,840 But I want, for those that are viewing and those that I've spoken to, you know, it's not, it wasn't my resolution that got the manager working on with the county to, you know, start looking at potential problems and finding potential solutions, it was just the fact that he knows his job well. And so starting, even probably, 409 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:07,280 Before March, if I had made a wider request, yeah, I'm sure there's emails dating even before that. 410 00:40:08,840 --> 00:40:16,000 So, you know, I would say very directly me to the mayor and I will reach out to her to thank her. 411 00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:28,380 You know, and I know Bobby Joe, I think was on today's call and offered to come, but you know, we need to see some, some implemented, 412 00:40:30,460 --> 00:40:35,200 solutions as soon as possible. I do get, we want to see how people, where are people 413 00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:43,220 going to be walking? Well, right now, you know, if something happens, I can't say, well, 414 00:40:43,280 --> 00:40:47,620 we were going to look at that after August 13th. I'm so sorry you got hit by a car today, 415 00:40:48,140 --> 00:40:55,060 but, you know, we're going to be looking at potentially putting in crosswalk. So even if it's 416 00:40:55,060 --> 00:40:57,840 something that can temporarily, I've seen it done before, 417 00:40:58,220 --> 00:41:00,160 something that can be temporarily done, 418 00:41:00,160 --> 00:41:04,160 and if it doesn't match the study, whenever that study is done, 419 00:41:05,200 --> 00:41:09,220 then you have to repaint the road there and move it like I said. 420 00:41:09,260 --> 00:41:11,060 I've got a gallon of paint, if you need paint, 421 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,180 I'm sure someone will chip in for yellow paint too, 422 00:41:14,240 --> 00:41:15,800 so we can make it happen. 423 00:41:16,400 --> 00:41:19,420 I think it's just, I know I'm making light of it, 424 00:41:19,460 --> 00:41:23,960 but it's not light, and we're getting the comments 425 00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:32,180 and the outreach on a regular basis, and as I said on Saturday, listen, I am all in and 426 00:41:32,180 --> 00:41:40,340 have been there to shoulder all of the complaints, all of the meetings, that's my role. 427 00:41:40,380 --> 00:41:44,580 The only problem is not, this is not my project. 428 00:41:44,980 --> 00:41:50,700 If it were my project, if it was a city project, it would be easier to say, hey, Mr. Manager, 429 00:41:50,700 --> 00:41:53,760 We've got some problems here, can you resolve these problems? 430 00:41:54,580 --> 00:41:59,660 So, whatever can be done to get things moving along so that the residents know that it's 431 00:41:59,660 --> 00:42:06,000 not like ribbon cutting and then, you know, a footnote, like, oh yeah, maybe this is 432 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,480 as perfect as we thought it was. 433 00:42:08,240 --> 00:42:11,080 I'm sorry to be late for the point, but I do feel passionate about it. 434 00:42:11,420 --> 00:42:13,980 So, I appreciate you carrying that message back. 435 00:42:14,620 --> 00:42:15,940 So, I'd like to co-sponsor. 436 00:42:16,040 --> 00:42:17,340 I'm sorry for being long-winded, 437 00:42:20,500 --> 00:42:21,720 but are there other co-sponsors? 438 00:42:21,720 --> 00:42:25,160 I've got Vice Mayor, you've got a full house. 439 00:42:25,720 --> 00:42:27,300 Thank you to my colleagues. 440 00:42:27,540 --> 00:42:32,500 I want to thank you, Madam Mayor, for your taking the personal initiative along with the manager 441 00:42:33,240 --> 00:42:34,640 and the Vice Mayor also. 442 00:42:35,780 --> 00:42:43,160 So again, the point of this resolution is really for expediency because time is a luxury that the 443 00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:44,160 residents don't have. 444 00:42:44,580 --> 00:42:45,620 So thank you all. 445 00:42:46,060 --> 00:42:50,420 And if you can get a doctor up pretty quick, I can sign up right here and pass it off to me 446 00:42:50,420 --> 00:42:51,520 before she leaves. 447 00:42:53,080 --> 00:42:53,800 I have a pen. 448 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:55,380 Madam Mayor? 449 00:42:55,860 --> 00:42:59,380 I want to thank our esteemed city clerk for helping me with this. 450 00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,040 Today was done at the last minute on a day that I was working. 451 00:43:03,100 --> 00:43:04,480 And a million other things going on. 452 00:43:04,660 --> 00:43:06,620 So I want to thank her personally. 453 00:43:07,020 --> 00:43:08,560 Her name is Missy Arrocha. 454 00:43:08,780 --> 00:43:09,340 Mr. Manager. 455 00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:09,920 Congratulations. 456 00:43:10,740 --> 00:43:11,840 That's what her name is. 457 00:43:12,680 --> 00:43:13,420 Thank you. 458 00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:14,780 Yes, Vice. 459 00:43:16,480 --> 00:43:16,760 Yes. 460 00:43:17,300 --> 00:43:18,060 Thank you, Vice Mayor. 461 00:43:18,060 --> 00:43:20,460 Yeah, so to your point about making some motions, 462 00:43:20,760 --> 00:43:23,400 yeah, I actually just had to base on our conversation. 463 00:43:24,060 --> 00:43:26,580 I'd like to make a motion to also request the county 464 00:43:26,580 --> 00:43:28,900 included in any studies that they do the consideration 465 00:43:28,900 --> 00:43:33,100 of expanding any bike paths and also the repair conditions 466 00:43:33,100 --> 00:43:35,600 of the sidewalks in 87th Avenue as well. 467 00:43:35,820 --> 00:43:36,920 So that's my motion. 468 00:43:38,120 --> 00:43:42,080 We're willing to add appropriate pedestrian crosswalks. 469 00:43:42,080 --> 00:43:42,820 That's who yes. 470 00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:43,300 Okay. 471 00:43:44,140 --> 00:43:45,240 Did you capture all that? 472 00:43:45,480 --> 00:43:47,060 That's three additional things. 473 00:43:47,060 --> 00:43:53,320 things, that's your motion.
