land use and transportation networks

119
00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:45,759

month. Uh, and the golden spoke ride

127
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:04,720
that we try to coordinate with in most

128
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:06,400
of our communities. Every May we

129

celebrate bike month along with the rest

130
00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:10,320
of the country. One major event that

131
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,560
occurs every year is the free golden

132
00:05:12,560 --> 00:05:15,120
spoke ride celebrating the 100 plus

133
00:05:15,120 --> 00:05:17,039

134
00:05:17,039 --> 00:05:19,199

135
00:05:19,199 --> 00:05:21,840
is taking place on Saturday, May 16th

136
00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:24,080

people of all ages and abilities.

138
00:05:25,919 --> 00:05:28,479
Several mayor's bike rides are being uh

139
00:05:28,479 --> 00:05:30,240
dovetailed with the Golden Spoke Ride,

140
00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:32,479
including Draper West Jordan. Full event

141

145
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:44,720
many others. If you haven't done that

146
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:48,320
one, that's a fun one to do. Um,

147
00:05:48,320 --> 00:05:50,320
a lot of we've been growing it seems

148
00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,800
like every year in Draper it's probably

149
00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,440
doubled in size each time. Um, for other

150
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:57,440
bike month activities, the locally

151
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,560
published cyclingwest.com website has a

152
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:02,800
full list of activities that we can drop

153
00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:04,479
a full link in the chat then include the

154
00:06:04,479 --> 00:06:07,039
following in the follow-up email. Um,

155
00:06:07,039 --> 00:06:08,800
would anyone like to share bike month

156
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,479
activity they are looking forward to in

157
00:06:10,479 --> 00:06:17,189
their city that they have planned?

158
00:06:17,199 --> 00:06:19,919
Mayor, the city I live live in, Provo,

159
00:06:19,919 --> 00:06:22,160
always does an awesome bike to anywhere

160
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:23,919
day as opposed to bike to work day. And

161
00:06:23,919 --> 00:06:26,560
there are several breakfast stations um

162
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,479
set up throughout the city. So, sort of

163
00:06:28,479 --> 00:06:30,240
no matter where you're going, you can go

164
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,000
and hit some breakfast up. And

165
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,319
typically, we take our kids to school

166
00:06:34,319 --> 00:06:35,919
late and just hit up all the breakfast

167
00:06:35,919 --> 00:06:38,800
stations with them. It's pretty fun.

168
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,880
In Draper, we're doing the Saturday

169
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:42,639
ride, the mayor's bike ride, and we we

170
00:06:42,639 --> 00:06:46,000
do about 22 miles. We go south down the

171
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,919
Jordan River Trail, and we start at the

172
00:06:47,919 --> 00:06:49,919
Rotary Park, and we come out through

173
00:06:49,919 --> 00:06:52,080
Lehi and come back across the bridge and

174
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,080
back into Draper. It's been It's a fun

175
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,960
ride. We had I think we had 27 people

176
00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:59,199
last year do it, so we're excited for

177
00:06:59,199 --> 00:07:01,759
it. Um it it's getting bigger and bigger

178
00:07:01,759 --> 00:07:06,230
as it goes along. Anybody else?

179
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:07,840

00:07:18,240 --> 00:07:21,680
>> Yeah, I would.

185
00:07:21,680 --> 00:07:25,280
>> Dave Dave Eltus. All right, Dave.

186
00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:27,840
>> Yeah, just a a couple couple things. One

187
00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:31,680
is if you do if anyone uh does have bike

188
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:33,599
month activities, if they can please

189
00:07:33,599 --> 00:07:36,160
email me, I can add it to our calendar

190
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:40,560
of events. Um, I think we have most of

191
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:42,800
the ones that you mentioned today. Um,

192
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:45,120
and there's a bunch of others that are

193
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,639
on there um that were not mentioned um

194
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:51,520
that various entities are are doing.

195
00:07:51,520 --> 00:07:54,720
There's a a slugat alleycat race.

196
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,599
There's the well the golden spoke. Um

197
00:07:57,599 --> 00:07:59,599
Salt Lake City doesn't have their date

198
00:07:59,599 --> 00:08:02,240
yet for their mayor's bike to work day.

199
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,800
Um, and there's a variety of other

200
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,720
things including the right of silence on

201
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:11,919
uh it's the third Wednesday of May which

202
00:08:11,919 --> 00:08:13,440
honors people who have been hit and

203
00:08:13,440 --> 00:08:18,240
killed by um hit killed or hurt by cars.

204
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,560
Um couple other quick things. Um I think

205
00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:25,039
later on in the this meeting you have on

206
00:08:25,039 --> 00:08:29,199
the agenda the fallout from SB242.

207
00:08:29,199 --> 00:08:32,320
Uh just so you know, that's made a mess

208
00:08:32,320 --> 00:08:34,880
of many, many things in Salt Lake City.

209
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,760
And if I were mayors of other

210
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,240
communities uh on the Wasatchet front,

211
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:42,800
I'd be wary that this might at some

212
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:46,640
point come to haunt them as well. Um

213
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,040
anything that any of you can do to push

214
00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:52,080
back against uh I I think the driving

215
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:53,839
person behind all this is probably

216
00:08:53,839 --> 00:08:56,240
Stuart Adams and Mike Schultz. um pushed

217
00:08:56,240 --> 00:08:59,120
back against their uh the policy and

218
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,440
this has just really made a mess of

219
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:04,640
things and kept bike lanes off of 7 East

220
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:07,519
for example, kept the extension of the

221
00:09:07,519 --> 00:09:11,200
protected bike lane on Third West by

222
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,959
Pioneer Park uh among many others. Um

223
00:09:14,959 --> 00:09:18,800
lastly, um I it's been a while since

224
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,760
I've been to this committee, but uh 3200

225
00:09:21,760 --> 00:09:25,600
West um would be a great project for

226
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,680
WFRC and any of the communities that are

227
00:09:29,680 --> 00:09:33,760
along 3200 West to um finish off the

228
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,320
bike lane that would uh that has the

229
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:38,720
potential from going from 500 south to

230
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:44,000
12,000 south. Um, it's probably 90 80%

231
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,200
done, but it would make an incredible

232
00:09:47,200 --> 00:09:50,560
uh length of the valley bike route uh

233
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:54,640
with just a bit of fine-tuning. So, um

234
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:58,959
anyway, hope WFRC andor uh communities

235
00:09:58,959 --> 00:10:02,640
like West Jordan, um West Valley City,

236
00:10:02,640 --> 00:10:05,519
um I think Riverton, etc. could take

237
00:10:05,519 --> 00:10:08,480
that on. Um thanks so much. And I I'll

238
00:10:08,480 --> 00:10:11,040
put my email in the chat if anyone wants

239
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:15,680
to email me uh details of their bike um

240
00:10:15,680 --> 00:10:18,720
bike month events. Thanks.

241
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:20,480
>> Thanks, Dave. I also enjoyed your

242
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,640
legislative recap email. I just got

243
00:10:22,640 --> 00:10:25,519
that. That was a the uh fashion show, if

244
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:28,240
you will. That was great. Um is there

245
00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,800
anyone else like to make a general

246
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:36,069
public comment to the committee?

247
00:10:36,079 --> 00:10:38,240
» You're not the public. You're not the

248
00:10:38,240 --> 00:10:40,480
public. Hold on. Anybody else like to

249
00:10:40,480 --> 00:10:43,519
make public comment?

250
00:10:43,519 --> 00:10:45,200
All right, we'll close public comment

251
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,120
and our next item. Did you want to make

252
00:10:47,120 --> 00:10:48,640
Ellen? Did you want to make a statement

253
00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:49,519
or something? Go ahead.

254
00:10:49,519 --> 00:10:51,519
>> No, mine is ever mine is ever so brief.

255
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:53,680
I just wanted to say I rode the train up

256
00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:55,440
here and found out why this meeting

257
00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,600
starts at 9:15. It is so perfect. So,

258
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,399
take front runner. It's great.

259
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:04,800
>> Thank you. All right. Next item. If

260
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:07,360
you'll recall at our last meeting, Hugh

261
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:10,000
asked us to come up with as a group what

262
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,680
we wanted to accomplish in 2026 as the

263
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,760
active transportation committee. And

264
00:11:15,760 --> 00:11:17,440
Hugh is going to go over all of your

265
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:19,760
responses and we can have a discussion

266
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:25,590
about about that. Go ahead, Hugh.

267
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:27,040
» Thank you, Mayor. And I also want to

268
00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:28,560
recognize

269
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,959
uh Commissioner Facel from Morgan who's

270
00:11:30,959 --> 00:11:35,360
with us. Thank you for being here. Okay.

271
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,440
So, as mentioned, we asked in our last

272
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:39,040
meeting, uh, what does the committee

273
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:40,720
want to achieve during this calendar

274
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,160
year? And thought, oh, well, let's go

275
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,360
over this with you a little bit and see

276
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,160
if we can talk about it and, um, get

277
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:50,160
some get some direction from you all

278
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,670
moving forward.

279
00:11:53,680 --> 00:11:56,399
So,

280
00:11:56,399 --> 00:11:58,240
I don't know what that was. Okay,

281
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,279
perfect. Okay. Click, click, click, someone's room.

282
00:12:03,279 --> 00:12:05,600
The goal of this discussion, any hockey

283
00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:07,120
fans out there? I know we got like

284
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:09,200
everybody's in. Was anybody into hockey

285
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:10,959
when it was just the Grizzlies or is

286
00:12:10,959 --> 00:12:13,440
this like a mammoth thing only? Just a

287
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:16,320
mammoth thing. I was curious about that.

288
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:18,639
The goal of the discussion today is to

289
00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:20,320
narrow down some of the topics that you

290
00:12:20,320 --> 00:12:23,440
all expressed in our last meeting and to

291
00:12:23,440 --> 00:12:25,040
find out how we can utilize our

292
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:26,320
remaining three meetings and what the

293
00:12:26,320 --> 00:12:29,040
best format is to sort of discuss what

294
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,279
we come up with today. So at the end of

295
00:12:31,279 --> 00:12:32,720
this discussion, we'll have some polls

296
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:34,720
for you. Again, prepare, you know, have

297
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:36,880
your phone ready to go. You can um sign

298
00:12:36,880 --> 00:12:39,680
in to that polling question. But

299
00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:41,920
narrowing narrowing down topics and

300
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:43,360
what's the best way to approach those

301
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:45,839
for the rest of the year.

302
00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:49,360
Get rid of that discussion.

303
00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,160
So read all of these. Don't read all of

304
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:53,680
these. But this is all the content that

305
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:55,360
you gave us. Uh the intention is not for

306
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:57,600
you to read this slide at all, but to

307
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,120
give you an idea of all the great

308
00:12:59,120 --> 00:13:02,000
feedback that we got. What we did do was

309
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:05,839
take all of that feedback and um used

310
00:13:05,839 --> 00:13:07,839
our Google Gemini platform here to say,

311
00:13:07,839 --> 00:13:09,120
"Okay, we'll break these into

312
00:13:09,120 --> 00:13:11,279
categories, right, and put them into

313
00:13:11,279 --> 00:13:14,959
different buckets." And so this is what it came up with. So my

314
00:13:14,959 --> 00:13:16,480
question to you is we can go through

315
00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:18,560
these and we'll look at some of the more

316
00:13:18,560 --> 00:13:20,240
specific responses. Some have been

317
00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:25,120
edited for clarity and um brevity. But

318
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:26,880
which of these topics right now do you

319
00:13:26,880 --> 00:13:28,959
want to jump into and look at the more

320
00:13:28,959 --> 00:13:31,519
specific responses? We can click on any

321
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:42,790
of these and just jump to that category

322
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,120
or I will choose the event. Oh yes,

323
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:47,440
Commissioner Fel.

324
00:13:47,440 --> 00:13:49,440
>> I think they're all important.

325
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,600
Um, but as far as which one to start

326
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:55,040
with, infrastructure and connectivity

327
00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:57,279
would probably be

328
00:13:57,279 --> 00:13:59,120
well maybe that's not number one.

329
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,600
Planning and policy. We've got that. We

330
00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:03,760
just heard it in public comment about

331
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:07,279
the planning and the policies. And I

332
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:09,199
mean, all of those things are important

333
00:14:09,199 --> 00:14:12,160
to me because I can't get anything going

334
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,040
in Morgan County yet and I need help.

335
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:20,079
>> Juggle. Okay. Well, let's start with we can we'll get to all of these. Um,

336
00:14:20,079 --> 00:14:21,760
we'll start with infrastructure and

337
00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:23,360
connect connectivity. So, I think that's

338
00:14:23,360 --> 00:14:24,639
what you started with, right? This was

339
00:14:24,639 --> 00:14:26,800
your first thing you said.

340
00:14:26,800 --> 00:14:27,360
All right.

341
00:14:27,360 --> 00:14:30,079
>> This is Joy and I agree with that one.

342
00:14:30,079 --> 00:14:33,279
>> Okay. Thank you, Mayor Petro.

343
00:14:33,279 --> 00:14:35,040
So, these were the responses under that

344
00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:36,880
specific category. Better network

345
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,399
connectivity and connections to transit

346
00:14:40,399 --> 00:14:43,279
assistance working with UD do support to

347
00:14:43,279 --> 00:14:45,600
advance neighborhood byways. help

348
00:14:45,600 --> 00:14:47,839
implement safe, user-friendly AT

349
00:14:47,839 --> 00:14:50,480
facilities. Make implementation of bike

350
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,629
facilities easier.

351
00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:59,519
Any thoughts? Just real quick, fire on

352
00:14:59,519 --> 00:15:03,360
yes. No

353
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:05,519
on any of these. And we'll have a chance

354
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:07,519
to do some ranking later, but

355
00:15:07,519 --> 00:15:08,880
>> I'd say all of them.

356
00:15:08,880 --> 00:15:14,790
>> Okay. All of them.

357
00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:16,320
I just want first real quick

358
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:17,600
impressions. You don't have to dwell on

359
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:18,480
it too much.

360
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:20,320
>> Assistance with U dot.

361
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,399
>> Assistance with UD dot. Okay. Getting

362
00:15:22,399 --> 00:15:24,320
that.

363
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,480
>> Well, I I think the support for

364
00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,959
neighborhood byways and helping people

365
00:15:28,959 --> 00:15:30,880
to understand what that is and the

366
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:33,120
efficacy and especially for cities on

367
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,839
tight budgets. It's really

368
00:15:35,839 --> 00:15:37,040
>> smart.

369
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:39,519
>> Okay, that's very good. Mayor Petro,

370
00:15:39,519 --> 00:15:40,800
you're drawn on my screen. Is there

371
00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,519
anything specific you want to Did I

372
00:15:43,519 --> 00:15:46,320
misspell something?

373
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:48,480
That's okay.

374
00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,079
Vendeline, your your hand is up. Would

375
00:15:50,079 --> 00:15:52,000
you like to comment?

376
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,079
>> Um, yeah, just a quick comment sort of

377
00:15:54,079 --> 00:15:56,880
from the municipal perspective. You

378
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,959
know, there's of course always money

379
00:15:58,959 --> 00:16:02,720
involved in these things and um oftent

380
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:06,240
times for larger facilities

381
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,839
um we oftentimes rely on federal money

382
00:16:09,839 --> 00:16:17,040
and um I wonder if we as this committee

383
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,120
uh need to talk with people to

384
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,079
make sure that on the federal end that

385
00:16:24,079 --> 00:16:28,160
the federal agencies And maybe the our

386
00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:30,639
Utah federal delegation understands how

387
00:16:30,639 --> 00:16:33,440
important the federal money is. And it

388
00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:35,360
seems there are some headwinds in that

389
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:39,199
regard in Washington DC right now.

390
00:16:39,199 --> 00:16:41,120
>> Great comment. Cameron is here and we'll

391
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:43,360
be talking about that in uh I think the

392
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,199
next item. So, thank you for bringing

393
00:16:45,199 --> 00:16:47,920
that up. Okay, I'm going to jump back to

394
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,560
our categories here. Next one. Jory.

395
00:16:50,560 --> 00:16:52,000
Well, I was just going to add, I don't

396
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:55,759
know if everybody knows UD do has a um

397
00:16:55,759 --> 00:16:58,000
trails division right now that's helping

398
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,480
implement the UTN um and then they also

399
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:02,800
have regional planners. So, if you don't

400
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:04,480
know that, at least on the coordination

401
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:06,880
with UD do piece before, reach out to

402
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,679
both groups um could be helpful.

403
00:17:09,679 --> 00:17:13,990
>> Thank you.

404
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:15,839
Planning the policy. The next one I

405
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:18,480
think Mr. fac said

406
00:17:18,480 --> 00:17:20,240
it's like engaging with my teenagers

407
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,230
here at dinner.

408
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,640
Prioritize ATN communications and plan

409
00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:28,640
development.

410
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,320
More planning for outlying areas to

411
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,400
connect to the Wasatch front and

412
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:33,840
highlight successful planning

413
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,270
implementation.

414
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:45,110
Any first impressions on any of these?

415
00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:46,480
Miranda, please.

416
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:47,840
>> Sure, I'll just weigh in. No, I think

417
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,160
these are great. I um looking at like

418
00:17:50,160 --> 00:17:52,000
communicating

419
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,400
uh prioritizing active transportation is

420
00:17:54,400 --> 00:17:55,840
great. I think over the past few years,

421
00:17:55,840 --> 00:17:58,400
we've obviously seen a lot of support

422
00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,640
for active transportation in some ways,

423
00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:04,480
right? The state has uh invested a lot

424
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:07,039
in active transportation, $45 million

425
00:18:07,039 --> 00:18:09,440
ongoing every year for the active

426
00:18:09,440 --> 00:18:11,039
transportation investment fund or the

427
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:13,600
Utah Trail Network. Um, but we're also

428
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:15,679
seeing a lot of other different types of

429
00:18:15,679 --> 00:18:17,520
push back around active transportation

430
00:18:17,520 --> 00:18:19,919
in other ways. And so finding ways to

431
00:18:19,919 --> 00:18:22,640
continue to communicate the importance

432
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,200
of active transportation, its value in

433
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,600
our transportation system within our

434
00:18:27,600 --> 00:18:29,360
communities, etc., I think is important

435
00:18:29,360 --> 00:18:32,080
not only to lawmakers uh who are making

436
00:18:32,080 --> 00:18:35,120
policies um but also to residents so

437
00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:39,440
that they understand um and feel um feel

438
00:18:39,440 --> 00:18:40,880
like they want to use these facilities

439
00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:42,240
as well.

440
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:45,280
Thank you.

441
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,160
Any else? Others? I'll jump back. Oh,

442
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,200
Council Member Burch,

443
00:18:49,200 --> 00:18:50,720
>> that second bullet point on there is

444
00:18:50,720 --> 00:18:52,160
really really important to the Tilla

445
00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:53,679
Valley right now. I don't know if that's

446
00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:57,760
where that came from, but uh we're we'd

447
00:18:57,760 --> 00:19:02,000
really like to actively pursue that as a means to solve some of our issues

448
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:03,200
out there.

449
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:06,240
>> Great. Thank you.

450
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:13,110
Okay. Anybody want to pick the next one?

451
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:14,000
funding

452
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,200
>> funding and programming. All right. So,

453
00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:18,880
funding for trail preservation and

454
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:23,350
easements.

455
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:26,000
Um, which I actually think there was a

456
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:27,919
bill that passed that might help with

457
00:19:27,919 --> 00:19:29,919
that. Miranda might talk about that.

458
00:19:29,919 --> 00:19:32,960
Seed funding, funding for trail design,

459
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:43,190
and funding for commuter routes.

460
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,600
un uninspiring. Is that what

461
00:19:47,600 --> 00:19:51,039
Wendellin please?

462
00:19:51,039 --> 00:19:54,640
Um, one thought that came to my mind um

463
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:58,160
on funding and programming is maybe it

464
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,840
would be a good idea to have a a UTN

465
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:03,520
representative

466
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:06,240
sort of permanently at the

467
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:11,430
transportation committee.

468
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:13,679
» Hey, I have a question about the last

469
00:20:13,679 --> 00:20:16,720
bullet. Um, because it looks like the

470
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,320
third and the fourth. So the first one

471
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,400
is more of a recreational component and

472
00:20:20,400 --> 00:20:24,240
then the the fourth one is looking at

473
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,320
when you say commuter routes is that

474
00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:30,240
comprehensive for just like act like

475
00:20:30,240 --> 00:20:32,400
connections to activity nodes or because

476
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:35,039
it just seems like it's focused on just

477
00:20:35,039 --> 00:20:36,799
workforce. It's kind of like that same

478
00:20:36,799 --> 00:20:38,720
mentality for roadway design of like

479
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:40,799
getting people to their jobs instead of

480
00:20:40,799 --> 00:20:43,039
like those local trips. So

481
00:20:43,039 --> 00:20:45,200
>> yeah, I did not write this myself,

482
00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,919
right? This is uh somebody else put this

483
00:20:47,919 --> 00:20:49,600
in there, but it's a good thought. Does

484
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,880
anybody else have a thought on that when

485
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,799
you hear the term commuter route? What

486
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:55,679
does that say to you?

487
00:20:55,679 --> 00:20:58,480
>> Well, I I really like uh Dee's train of

488
00:20:58,480 --> 00:21:00,880
thought there because um you know in

489
00:21:00,880 --> 00:21:03,520
Cottonwood Heights obviously and then to

490
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:06,240
the South Sandy and Draper and I know

491
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:08,320
who's chairing this meeting uh you know

492
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,360
we have these arterials that uh is how

493
00:21:11,360 --> 00:21:14,400
people get well to work. So there's that

494
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:16,320
issue is what leaps into my mind for

495
00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:19,760
commuter and I've long thought by

496
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,240
working with UTA and UD do a combination

497
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,000
that people can think of active

498
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,640
transportation to get to frankly some

499
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:30,080
rapid uh routes as opposed to all our

500
00:21:30,080 --> 00:21:32,159
bus service in Salt Lake County. Well,

501
00:21:32,159 --> 00:21:34,799
not all of it. Most of it is is local

502
00:21:34,799 --> 00:21:37,280
routes that people who work for a living

503
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:39,200
don't have time to take to get anywhere

504
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,760
from the suburban areas of Sandy,

505
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,640
Collwood Heights, and and um Draper, for

506
00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:46,880
example. But I I really like the

507
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,440
thinking of local,

508
00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:51,039
which is why I'm such an advocate for

509
00:21:51,039 --> 00:21:52,880
neighborhood byways because you can do

510
00:21:52,880 --> 00:21:55,120
something immediately. But this idea of

511
00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:56,880
people getting around because a small

512
00:21:56,880 --> 00:22:01,760
percentage of AT users go long distances

513
00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:04,159
from what I can comprehend. And so we

514
00:22:04,159 --> 00:22:06,240
really need to think of those three mile

515
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,840
trips within three miles

516
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,320
>> regardless of the term.

517
00:22:12,320 --> 00:22:15,440
Um the only bullet point up there that

518
00:22:15,440 --> 00:22:18,240
sort of implies what should we focus on

519
00:22:18,240 --> 00:22:21,039
funding is the fourth bullet. Other than

520
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:24,159
that, it's sort of amorphous about where

521
00:22:24,159 --> 00:22:26,960
are the priorities for funding. So, I'm

522
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:31,430
just reflecting on that.

523
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,000
» One more.

524
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,080
I agree with all that, but that's good

525
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:40,000
for just the Wasatch front. Um, so I

526
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,280
mean, sure, if we could get to the

527
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:45,679
Wasatch Front, it'd be great, but um, I

528
00:22:45,679 --> 00:22:48,240
think funding for trail design in

529
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,960
particular, I have a special project and

530
00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,400
other counties are working on it

531
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:55,600
already. Um, but we basically need

532
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,000
funding for the trail design.

533
00:22:58,000 --> 00:22:59,360
>> Start it up, get it going.

534
00:22:59,360 --> 00:23:01,520
>> Well, it's not necessarily start up. The

535
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:03,280
idea is there. It's just the engineering

536
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:05,280
that has to be done with it. That's

537
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:06,640
where we're having trouble.

538
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:09,120
>> Okay. Thank you. All right, we'll keep

539
00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,360
moving.

540
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,280
We got the top. These are at the top.

541
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:14,880
These not listed in any specific order,

542
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:16,960
but we've done the the three listed

543
00:23:16,960 --> 00:23:21,510
first.

544
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:23,600
» Well, I'll always give a plug for

545
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:25,280
maintenance.

546
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,280
That is something that for many city

547
00:23:27,280 --> 00:23:31,200
councils, the budgeting for maintenance

548
00:23:31,200 --> 00:23:35,600
and uh bringing that as a priority. Uh,

549
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,600
I know it needs to happen in my city.

550
00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,039
>> Yeah, let's look at what the comments

551
00:23:39,039 --> 00:23:41,919
were around this.

552
00:23:41,919 --> 00:23:44,880
Uh, I clicked the wrong one or I have it

553
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:47,039
on the wrong

554
00:23:47,039 --> 00:23:49,360
There we go. Sweeping of trails,

555
00:23:49,360 --> 00:23:51,679
shoulders, and bike lanes. Understand

556
00:23:51,679 --> 00:23:54,159
the safe system approach. Uh, what it

557
00:23:54,159 --> 00:23:55,760
means for road design, functionality,

558
00:23:55,760 --> 00:23:57,840
and circulation. How that affects active

559
00:23:57,840 --> 00:24:00,640
transportation, ebike and e- motorcycle

560
00:24:00,640 --> 00:24:03,280
laws, and safety issues.

561
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:06,630
Anything

562
00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:08,720
jump out to y'all?

563
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,480
>> Ebikes.

564
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,400
and lack of safety, especially

565
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:14,880
for children and youth.

566
00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:15,520
>> Yep.

567
00:24:15,520 --> 00:24:18,720
Ebikes is a growing concern and

568
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:23,029
will continue to grow.

569
00:24:23,039 --> 00:24:24,720
» Thank you, Council Member Graph. Yep.

570
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:31,110
Okay,

571
00:24:31,120 --> 00:24:33,120
Travis.

572
00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:35,200
Evans with you do. Everybody give

573
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:39,029
him a hand.

574
00:24:39,039 --> 00:24:40,320
» I Yeah, if I knew I was going to be the

575
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:41,520
only one here, I would have wore my full

576
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,679
U DOT Yeah. uniform. I would have got my

577
00:24:43,679 --> 00:24:45,360
reflective gear, my hard hat,

578
00:24:45,360 --> 00:24:48,159
everything. But, uh, no. So, I am on the

579
00:24:48,159 --> 00:24:50,080
uh committee working with DPS to set up

580
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:52,320
the uh the registration and the

581
00:24:52,320 --> 00:24:55,360
education portion of the uh the new law

582
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:58,400
that was passed, the HP, I think 381

583
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:02,400
uh that uh outlines the e motorcycle

584
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:04,720
versus ebike and all the different laws

585
00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:06,880
related to those. So, uh it is in the

586
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,720
works. Uh it does go into effect May

587
00:25:08,720 --> 00:25:10,960
6th. Uh but the education and

588
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,960
registration program will be another

589
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,400
year after that.

590
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,320
>> Okay. And we'll maybe hear a little bit

591
00:25:16,320 --> 00:25:17,919
more about that from Miranda in our

592
00:25:17,919 --> 00:25:19,840
legislative update. Jory, do you have

593
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:20,080
your

594
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,159
>> I mean, the only one I'm I'm looking at

595
00:25:22,159 --> 00:25:24,799
these three bullets, you know, the as

596
00:25:24,799 --> 00:25:26,640
Travis mentioned, the third one, there's

597
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:29,440
some work being done on that. The second

598
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,559
one, did UD do just finish some new

599
00:25:32,559 --> 00:25:35,760
design guidelines or new design with

600
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:37,679
active transportation

601
00:25:37,679 --> 00:25:40,240
on on roads? I thought there was

602
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:41,919
something with that that was get in the

603
00:25:41,919 --> 00:25:44,480
works. Utah Tra Network is working on

604
00:25:44,480 --> 00:25:46,880
specific designs for their program.

605
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:48,559
>> The first one is the only one that I

606
00:25:48,559 --> 00:25:52,960
see, you know, just keeping the the bike

607
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:55,360
lanes, shoulders, everything kind of

608
00:25:55,360 --> 00:25:57,919
cleaned up, right? Like I don't see

609
00:25:57,919 --> 00:26:00,159
sweepers out there that often um doing

610
00:26:00,159 --> 00:26:02,080
that and it's right where everything

611
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,480
gets kicked from the travel lanes. So

612
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:06,080
that'd be the only one I'd see on here

613
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,919
that doesn't really have any movement

614
00:26:07,919 --> 00:26:10,320
forward. Or even in the winter, you

615
00:26:10,320 --> 00:26:13,120
could add any trail upkeep, you know,

616
00:26:13,120 --> 00:26:14,559
plowing them, stuff like that.

617
00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:14,799
>> Yeah.

618
00:26:14,799 --> 00:26:16,799
>> I mean, not this last winter.

619
00:26:16,799 --> 00:26:18,240
>> Not this last winter. No.

620
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,080
>> Well, I I will underscore what you just

621
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,400
said and especially with state routes. I

622
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:24,480
know in Cottonwood Heights, the sweeping

623
00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:28,720
uh of the Highly Road, SR 210 and SR

624
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,679
190. I was just riding down and the bike

625
00:26:31,679 --> 00:26:33,440
lane that I was supposed to ride in had

626
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,000
so much debris. I was in the car lanes

627
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:37,919
where they're moving at 50 to 60 miles

628
00:26:37,919 --> 00:26:40,480
an hour. So, thank you for bringing that

629
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:42,559
underscoring that.

630
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:44,720
>> I also Hugh I just have one last comment

631
00:26:44,720 --> 00:26:46,080
about that. Um because when I think

632
00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:48,320
about design and safety, one of the more

633
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,559
expensive ticket items is when you think

634
00:26:50,559 --> 00:26:52,400
about crossings and the type of

635
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,480
signalization and and safety treatments

636
00:26:54,480 --> 00:26:56,880
that you need there. So, I don't I see I

637
00:26:56,880 --> 00:26:58,240
don't see those up there. I see like the

638
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:00,720
general um and maybe that would fall

639
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,240
under the safe systems approach. So

640
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:04,080
you're looking at like typologies that

641
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,600
would probably say it needs like this

642
00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:07,919
type of countermeasure, but that's

643
00:27:07,919 --> 00:27:09,520
something that I think to keep in mind,

644
00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:10,799
right? A hawk signal is pretty

645
00:27:10,799 --> 00:27:13,840
expensive. So um and really required at

646
00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:15,440
a lot of our roads because of the right

647
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,720
of ways and the speeds.

648
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,200
>> I could also add that um in gentrifying

649
00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,320
cities where schools are closing, we

650
00:27:24,320 --> 00:27:25,919
have an elementary school in Cottonwood

651
00:27:25,919 --> 00:27:27,919
Heights that is closing. And so now the

652
00:27:27,919 --> 00:27:29,919
children that live north of Fort Union

653
00:27:29,919 --> 00:27:31,679
Boulevard, if they want to walk to

654
00:27:31,679 --> 00:27:33,279
school, we'll have to cross Fort Union

655
00:27:33,279 --> 00:27:36,880
Boulevard. We only have one viable Hawk

656
00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:40,159
signal in that area. So I'm extremely

657
00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:42,000
concerned. Uh and I don't think this is

658
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:43,440
just in Cotwell Heights. There's a lot

659
00:27:43,440 --> 00:27:45,440
of elementary schools closing and we

660
00:27:45,440 --> 00:27:47,760
need to really think about the crossing

661
00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:50,480
across uh arterials or collectors for

662
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:52,960
children.

663
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:53,919
>> All right, I'm going to move through

664
00:27:53,919 --> 00:27:56,000
these last two for the sake of time.

665
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,360
collaboration organizational

666
00:27:57,360 --> 00:27:59,440
development. This was an interesting

667
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:01,600
one. Drafting a comprehensive charter or

668
00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:05,440
memorandum of

669
00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,520
something on working as a committee with

670
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,240
all the partners and communities. Keep a

671
00:28:10,240 --> 00:28:12,320
broad multis- sector approach to address

672
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,789
all aspects of transportation.

673
00:28:16,799 --> 00:28:22,630
Any quick thoughts, quick impressions?

674
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:26,960
Ted, I see your finger. uh button

675
00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,279
>> I'm just I I'm now I'm thinking aloud

676
00:28:29,279 --> 00:28:31,200
which is always a bad idea especially

677
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,000
for me but I I think that this committee

678
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:37,520
can bring that multis- sector kind of

679
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,440
perspective to a lot of these issues and

680
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,080
it might be a unique role for ATC which

681
00:28:42,080 --> 00:28:44,960
then in turn suggests so who might we be

682
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:46,480
missing.

683
00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:49,360
Thank you.

684
00:28:49,360 --> 00:28:51,039
And the last one, advocacy and

685
00:28:51,039 --> 00:28:52,799
education. So make cities look good when

686
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,200
they implement at policies and projects.

687
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,200
Work with institutions on the state and

688
00:28:57,200 --> 00:28:59,600
federal level to shift the mode split by

689
00:28:59,600 --> 00:29:01,520
allocating transportation sources in

690
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,159
resources in new ways and education

691
00:29:04,159 --> 00:29:13,029
period.

692
00:29:13,039 --> 00:29:15,200
My opinion is education is the biggest

693
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,240
thing starting when they're young.

694
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,159
>> Okay. Education of the general

695
00:29:20,159 --> 00:29:21,039
population then

696
00:29:21,039 --> 00:29:24,080
>> general population and and uh that way

697
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:26,799
kids grow up knowing the laws and

698
00:29:26,799 --> 00:29:28,640
parents learn the laws that they should

699
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,960
have known when they were a kid

700
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,880
>> and and that way we can maybe have a

701
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,679
little bit more safety in in our

702
00:29:35,679 --> 00:29:38,640
travels. Even driving is the same thing.

703
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:40,640
You're driving and you don't care about

704
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,440
the bicyclist, but you should be. And

705
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,600
you need to think that that road is not

706
00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,320
yours. It's everybody's road. And you

707
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:50,559
need to be concerned about those things.

708
00:29:50,559 --> 00:29:52,720
And I think that's education starts in

709
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,159
the young age.

710
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:56,320
>> Thank you.

711
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:57,760
>> Yes, please. Do you mind using a

712
00:29:57,760 --> 00:30:01,029
microphone?

713
00:30:01,039 --> 00:30:02,960
» Uh, sorry. Just press the button right

714
00:30:02,960 --> 00:30:04,960
below. Turn green. Perfect. And thanks.

715
00:30:04,960 --> 00:30:06,559
So, Holly Pearson from Salt Lake County,

716
00:30:06,559 --> 00:30:08,080
and I didn't get to introduce myself at

717
00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:09,279
the beginning of the meeting, but nice

718
00:30:09,279 --> 00:30:12,399
to see you all. Um, yeah, education I I

719
00:30:12,399 --> 00:30:15,200
think is so crucial for this because,

720
00:30:15,200 --> 00:30:17,840
uh, well, two aspects of it. U, one, I

721
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,640
think a lot of people don't think of

722
00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,039
bicycling or active transportation as a

723
00:30:23,039 --> 00:30:25,039
kind of convenient or viable means to

724
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:26,480
get around. And so I think just

725
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,960
educating about um resources that are

726
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,720
available about you know secure bike

727
00:30:30,720 --> 00:30:33,039
parking or lockers for commuters or you

728
00:30:33,039 --> 00:30:36,080
know facilities like that options to you

729
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:39,840
know bike to transit and and kind of

730
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:42,399
tying that in with um things that people

731
00:30:42,399 --> 00:30:44,399
are concerned about more broadly and

732
00:30:44,399 --> 00:30:45,679
making a connection like with air

733
00:30:45,679 --> 00:30:47,440
quality. So on you know bad air quality

734
00:30:47,440 --> 00:30:50,240
days having sort of a push to connect

735
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,240
the dots with with active transportation

736
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,000
in that way. And the other aspect of

737
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:55,760
education is actually ties back to

738
00:30:55,760 --> 00:30:59,279
safety. So I don't know how strong it is

739
00:30:59,279 --> 00:31:01,440
currently, but but driver education

740
00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:03,200
around bike safety. Not just educating

741
00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:04,640
cyclists about safety, but educating

742
00:31:04,640 --> 00:31:07,440
drivers about how to keep cyclists and

743
00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,919
pedestrians safe. Um, so those two

744
00:31:09,919 --> 00:31:11,600
aspects of education I think are really

745
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,399
important to work on. I appreciate that.

746
00:31:14,399 --> 00:31:16,799
I think in the in the manual that

747
00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:18,480
students get to get their driver's

748
00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:20,159
license, I think there's maybe like a

749
00:31:20,159 --> 00:31:22,720
paragraph about biking in that whole

750
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:24,720
manual. So, DD, did you have something?

751
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,320
>> Thanks. You I feel like I I love all

752
00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:27,760
this stuff so much. So, I could have a

753
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:30,240
comment about every slide. Um, another

754
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:32,399
thing with education too is like we

755
00:31:32,399 --> 00:31:33,760
found when we went to the Bike Utah

756
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,520
Summit last year, which was it was a

757
00:31:35,520 --> 00:31:38,640
great event. um people talking about how

758
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:40,240
folks in their in their cities maybe

759
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:41,679
they come to a public meeting and they

760
00:31:41,679 --> 00:31:43,120
had no idea that you could bring a bike

761
00:31:43,120 --> 00:31:45,360
onto Frontr Runner or you could bring a

762
00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:47,039
bike onto tracks or how do you get your

763
00:31:47,039 --> 00:31:49,440
bike onto the bus and I think it's

764
00:31:49,440 --> 00:31:51,600
really important to show that there's a

765
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,399
lot of options for multimmodal travel

766
00:31:54,399 --> 00:31:56,720
and that also starts with education and

767
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:58,799
providing spaces for people where you

768
00:31:58,799 --> 00:31:59,919
know taking them out of that

769
00:31:59,919 --> 00:32:01,919
intimidating environment of being on the

770
00:32:01,919 --> 00:32:03,440
road in front of a bus and not sure

771
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,200
where you should put your bike right so

772
00:32:05,200 --> 00:32:07,200
having these kind of like safe places

773
00:32:07,200 --> 00:32:08,880
where people are just learning and can

774
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:12,159
ask whatever questions they want.

775
00:32:12,159 --> 00:32:14,080
>> And uh there's a plug put in for Bike

776
00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:15,519
Utah who does a lot of its education

777
00:32:15,519 --> 00:32:17,760
work with youth and can come to your

778
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,000
communities. I know uh we just saw a

779
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:21,679
paper for my daughter in fourth grade

780
00:32:21,679 --> 00:32:23,600
who's going to go through bike safety

781
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,840
training put on by Bike Utah. So

782
00:32:25,840 --> 00:32:29,840
resources there for sure. Okay, let's uh

783
00:32:29,840 --> 00:32:32,720
keep moving. please join and help help

784
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,799
me rank some of this stuff for the

785
00:32:34,799 --> 00:32:36,480
remainder of our meetings on what to

786
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,399
focus on because there's a lot there and

787
00:32:38,399 --> 00:32:41,840
we can't get to it all all the time. Um

788
00:32:41,840 --> 00:32:44,399
but if we can

789
00:32:44,399 --> 00:32:46,559
focus some of our remaining resources

790
00:32:46,559 --> 00:32:49,840
for this year that would be great. This

791
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:51,519
if you haven't joined you still can join

792
00:32:51,519 --> 00:32:54,480
on the next slide. So this is ranking

793
00:32:54,480 --> 00:32:57,440
the categories in order of importance

794
00:32:57,440 --> 00:32:59,919
has them there.

795
00:32:59,919 --> 00:33:02,080
Go ahead and just you can drag and drop

796
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:04,880
I think um or just click in the order

797
00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:08,320
that you think is the most appropriate.

798
00:33:08,320 --> 00:33:10,080
Funding and programming, infrastructure

799
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:12,399
and connectivity, planning and policy,

800
00:33:12,399 --> 00:33:13,840
design, safety, maintenance,

801
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,200
collaboration, organizational

802
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:18,399
development, advocacy and education. And

803
00:33:18,399 --> 00:33:19,919
right out of the blocks, funding and

804
00:33:19,919 --> 00:33:21,679
programming into the lead, planning and

805
00:33:21,679 --> 00:33:23,760
policy. Oh, nope. Design, safety,

806
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,840
maintenance.

807
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:40,630
Yeah. So, just take take a a moment

808
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,559
and I have one more question for you as

809
00:33:42,559 --> 00:33:44,399
far as

810
00:33:44,399 --> 00:33:46,640
after ranking the categories, how should

811
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:50,320
we go about um working on these things

812
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:53,760
together? What's the best

813
00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:56,399
uh

814
00:33:56,399 --> 00:33:58,559
theater is not the right word. platform.

815
00:33:58,559 --> 00:34:02,480
Maybe it's a better word. Do that.

816
00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,159
Okay, I'm gonna give a five second

817
00:34:04,159 --> 00:34:07,440
countdown. Five, four, three, two, one.

818
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,159
That's probably faster than five, but

819
00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:12,720
so how should we approach these? We've

820
00:34:12,720 --> 00:34:14,800
had a thought about doing mini workshops

821
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,240
during these meetings. We have three

822
00:34:16,240 --> 00:34:19,359
more this year. Um try and set up

823
00:34:19,359 --> 00:34:21,520
extended workshops outside of these

824
00:34:21,520 --> 00:34:24,000
meetings. um have somebody come in and

825
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,639
do sort of a lecture format uh to the

826
00:34:26,639 --> 00:34:28,879
committee um standard presentation

827
00:34:28,879 --> 00:34:32,399
format which um you know we do some you

828
00:34:32,399 --> 00:34:33,919
know keep doing what you're doing or if

829
00:34:33,919 --> 00:34:35,679
there's something else and way we should

830
00:34:35,679 --> 00:34:38,000
approach this and engage the active

831
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,560
transportation committee um and

832
00:34:40,560 --> 00:34:43,280
participants if there's an other feel

833
00:34:43,280 --> 00:34:49,909
free to put that in the chat

834
00:34:49,919 --> 00:34:51,440
and Mayor Walker I'm sorry I'm taking so

835
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,040
much time we're wrapping up and we can

836
00:34:53,040 --> 00:34:54,720
move on to the next thing here in just a

837
00:34:54,720 --> 00:34:56,320
moment.

838
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,720
But I appreciate the engagement

839
00:34:58,720 --> 00:35:11,990
uh on this topic.

840
00:35:12,000 --> 00:35:15,119
Good. Many workshops coming out on top

841
00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:20,069
so far.

842
00:35:20,079 --> 00:35:22,000
Okay. I don't see anybody else actively

843
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:23,920
taking that poll. So, thank you very

844
00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:29,040
much. And I think with that,

845
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:35,829
I'm done. Appreciate it.

846
00:35:35,839 --> 00:35:38,560
All right. Thank you everyone. Um, let's

847
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:41,200
go our ne our next item. Uh we're gonna

848
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,920
have Cameron Carter Miranda talk to us a

849
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,520
little bit about state and federal

850
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,440
funding since that's always that was the

851
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:50,800
number one topic on those surveys on act

852
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:53,119
for active transportation projects. So

853
00:35:53,119 --> 00:35:55,119
who's take go ahead Cameron?

854
00:35:55,119 --> 00:35:56,960
>> Thank you. I'm Cameron Carter with Bike

855
00:35:56,960 --> 00:36:00,800
Utah. Um Hugh asked me to speak a little

856
00:36:00,800 --> 00:36:02,560
bit about our engagement work with

857
00:36:02,560 --> 00:36:04,320
Senator Curtis around the surface

858
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:07,119
transportation reauthorization bill. So,

859
00:36:07,119 --> 00:36:08,800
if you don't know, Congress has been

860
00:36:08,800 --> 00:36:10,960
working for about a year on this

861
00:36:10,960 --> 00:36:13,920
legislation. Um, they do this about

862
00:36:13,920 --> 00:36:15,760
every 5 years. So, the last one was the

863
00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:17,520
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act

864
00:36:17,520 --> 00:36:20,160
passed in 2021, which expires September

865
00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,520
of this year. So, um, this bill will

866
00:36:23,520 --> 00:36:25,839
reauthorize all transportation funding

867
00:36:25,839 --> 00:36:27,920
at the federal level. It'll set funding

868
00:36:27,920 --> 00:36:30,640
levels, um, decides project eligibility

869
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:33,440
for grants and formula funding. and then

870
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:35,839
um it may adjust some distribution to

871
00:36:35,839 --> 00:36:37,599
states, NPOS's and local governments.

872
00:36:37,599 --> 00:36:39,839
So, it's a really big bill um has a lot

873
00:36:39,839 --> 00:36:42,240
of implications for funding um the state

874
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:45,359
and local level.

875
00:36:45,359 --> 00:36:48,320
Um we have heard from our partners,

876
00:36:48,320 --> 00:36:50,320
Rails to Trails Conservancy, they're a

877
00:36:50,320 --> 00:36:52,240
national nonprofit that does similar

878
00:36:52,240 --> 00:36:55,359
work. Um we've heard that some senior

879
00:36:55,359 --> 00:36:56,960
members of Congress want to fund only

880
00:36:56,960 --> 00:36:58,720
traditional infrastructure, meaning

881
00:36:58,720 --> 00:37:00,720
roads and bridges. So, no support for

882
00:37:00,720 --> 00:37:02,880
walking and biking. there's this idea of

883
00:37:02,880 --> 00:37:05,359
moving back to what they call basics.

884
00:37:05,359 --> 00:37:08,400
Um, which is really problematic because

885
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:10,640
of course active transportation is

886
00:37:10,640 --> 00:37:12,400
really beneficial for local governments

887
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,200
and a lot of cities wouldn't be able to

888
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:16,640
build this type of funding without

889
00:37:16,640 --> 00:37:18,079
matching support from the federal

890
00:37:18,079 --> 00:37:20,960
government. Um, active transportation

891
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,599
funding also has significant benefits.

892
00:37:23,599 --> 00:37:26,000
Um, it reduces congestion by shifting

893
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,400
trips to walking and biking, improves

894
00:37:28,400 --> 00:37:30,160
safety, reducing fatalities and

895
00:37:30,160 --> 00:37:33,599
injuries. um supports economies, local

896
00:37:33,599 --> 00:37:35,599
businesses and then of course mental

897
00:37:35,599 --> 00:37:37,200
health, physical health and social

898
00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,920
connection. So I think all of us know

899
00:37:39,920 --> 00:37:41,599
active transportation is important and

900
00:37:41,599 --> 00:37:43,440
we have been advocating with Senator

901
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:46,320
Curtis to help him understand and

902
00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,359
advocate for these at the federal level.

903
00:37:49,359 --> 00:37:51,440
Um

904
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:51,599
sorry

905
00:37:51,599 --> 00:37:53,200
>> to interrupt Cameron. Is there a way can

906
00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:57,440
you close the box of you on there? Yeah,

907
00:37:57,440 --> 00:37:58,720
>> perfect. Now we can see everything.

908
00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:00,240
Thank you.

909
00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:03,510
Thanks.

910
00:38:03,520 --> 00:38:05,920
Okay, so this slide shows the breakdown

911
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:08,960
of active transportation funding. The

912
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:10,720
biggest program is the transportation

913
00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:13,280
alternatives. This is 1.5 billion

914
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:15,440
annually and it's for all sorts of

915
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:17,920
projects big and small. The recreational

916
00:38:17,920 --> 00:38:19,760
trails program is mainly for off-

917
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,720
streetet recreational trails. And then

918
00:38:22,720 --> 00:38:24,240
there are a bunch of multimodal

919
00:38:24,240 --> 00:38:26,720
discretionary grants. So the ATIP

920
00:38:26,720 --> 00:38:30,560
program here um is mainly for closing

921
00:38:30,560 --> 00:38:33,520
regional gaps. So like bridges, tunnels,

922
00:38:33,520 --> 00:38:36,720
uh major crossings in AT networks. It

923
00:38:36,720 --> 00:38:38,560
was authorized at 200 million annually

924
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,119
but was only funded one time at 45

925
00:38:41,119 --> 00:38:42,640
million.

926
00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:44,480
U raise grants, also called build

927
00:38:44,480 --> 00:38:47,359
grants, um these are are typically large

928
00:38:47,359 --> 00:38:50,560
regional projects. Um SS4A grants are

929
00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:52,560
for more safety focused projects and

930
00:38:52,560 --> 00:38:55,119
then reconnecting communities grants are

931
00:38:55,119 --> 00:38:58,800
for projects that address uh communities

932
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:00,880
that have been divided by highways or

933
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:04,240
railroads. So in total there's about $5

934
00:39:04,240 --> 00:39:06,560
billion in active transportation funding

935
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,880
that's been authorized. Not all of this

936
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:10,480
has actually been spent. We know a lot

937
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,320
of these grants were frozen and then

938
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,480
eventually rescended last year. Um

939
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:19,440
this next slide shows just the the pie

940
00:39:19,440 --> 00:39:22,160
of surface transportation funding. So

941
00:39:22,160 --> 00:39:25,440
the $5 billion is about 4.4% of all

942
00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:28,640
surface transportation funding. Um so

943
00:39:28,640 --> 00:39:30,720
again it's a small share but it has

944
00:39:30,720 --> 00:39:32,320
really important and significant

945
00:39:32,320 --> 00:39:35,520
benefits at the local level.

946
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,160
Um we organized a signon letter last

947
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,800
October uh with other nonprofit partners

948
00:39:40,800 --> 00:39:44,079
and eight cities. Um this was a a

949
00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:46,240
national effort that we coordinated with

950
00:39:46,240 --> 00:39:47,920
the Rails to Trails Conservancy. There

951
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:50,800
were over,200 signatures on that letter

952
00:39:50,800 --> 00:39:52,800
uh in support of active transportation

953
00:39:52,800 --> 00:39:55,359
funding. We also hosted an indistrict

954
00:39:55,359 --> 00:39:58,000
meeting with Senator Curtis at his Provo

955
00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:00,320
office. So we we brought some Provo

956
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:02,800
folks um the Provo city mayor and city

957
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:05,040
council member, Kevin and Shauna from

958
00:40:05,040 --> 00:40:06,800
MAG joined us and some people from

959
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,160
BikeWalk Provo and Bike Orum. Um, and

960
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:11,839
then we are also hosting a community

961
00:40:11,839 --> 00:40:13,760
ride for Celebrate Trails Day that

962
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,520
Senator Curtis's staff will be joining

963
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,160
us for Saturday, April 25th. If anyone's

964
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,160
interested, we're meeting at Vineyard

965
00:40:20,160 --> 00:40:24,240
Front Runner Station at 10:00 a.m.

966
00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:27,599
Um, last slide here is just uh this is

967
00:40:27,599 --> 00:40:30,079
what we've been asking for. So,

968
00:40:30,079 --> 00:40:31,440
strengthen and grow transportation

969
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:32,960
alternatives, the recreational trails

970
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:35,440
program, secure dedicated funding for

971
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:37,920
the ATP program. Again, there there's

972
00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:39,599
authorized funding, but it hasn't

973
00:40:39,599 --> 00:40:42,000
actually been funded as intended. And

974
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:44,000
then preserving and deploying multimodal

975
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:45,760
discretionary grants, many of which were

976
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,839
rescended and and frozen. So, um, just

977
00:40:49,839 --> 00:40:52,400
in general, Senator Curtis has been very

978
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,880
supportive of these programs and and he

979
00:40:54,880 --> 00:40:57,760
says that he will be, uh, pushing for

980
00:40:57,760 --> 00:41:00,400
them. He said he's also wants to fund

981
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:02,480
specific projects with Deermarks. I know

982
00:41:02,480 --> 00:41:04,160
he's working with Provo City and likely

983
00:41:04,160 --> 00:41:08,079
many others for those projects. And um

984
00:41:08,079 --> 00:41:10,160
he also suggested that we're likely to

985
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,480
see a shift towards more formula funding

986
00:41:12,480 --> 00:41:16,960
and less discretionary grants. Um

987
00:41:16,960 --> 00:41:19,200
that's all I know. So I I don't think

988
00:41:19,200 --> 00:41:21,599
the bill's been released yet, but we

989
00:41:21,599 --> 00:41:24,480
will likely see that soon um since the

990
00:41:24,480 --> 00:41:27,119
current one expires in September.

991
00:41:27,119 --> 00:41:35,910
Um open to questions if there are any.

992
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:37,839
Cameron, have you had any other

993
00:41:37,839 --> 00:41:40,720
engagement with other um members of our

994
00:41:40,720 --> 00:41:43,040
federal delegation at all?

995
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:45,760
>> Um,

996
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,680
not much. No. So, we've mainly been

997
00:41:47,680 --> 00:41:49,680
engaging with Senator Curtis because he

998
00:41:49,680 --> 00:41:52,079
has shown to be supportive of biking and

999
00:41:52,079 --> 00:41:55,680
walking in the past. Um, and we've sent

1000
00:41:55,680 --> 00:41:58,960
messages to the other five and there

1001
00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:03,200
hasn't been much of a response honestly.

1002
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:05,119
>> Maybe I could weigh in here Cameron with

1003
00:42:05,119 --> 00:42:06,400
just a few thoughts regarding

1004
00:42:06,400 --> 00:42:09,920
reauthorization. One is that um first

1005
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:12,000
WFRC is really appreciative of our

1006
00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,560
partners uh like Bike Utah, Rails to

1007
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:18,000
Trails for continuing to um prioritize

1008
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:19,760
and highlight the importance of these

1009
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:22,160
active transportation programs in the

1010
00:42:22,160 --> 00:42:24,560
surface uh re surface transportation

1011
00:42:24,560 --> 00:42:26,400
reauthorization. And a lot of what

1012
00:42:26,400 --> 00:42:28,079
Cameron has shared is we're hearing

1013
00:42:28,079 --> 00:42:29,760
similar things. that's very consistent

1014
00:42:29,760 --> 00:42:32,880
in that. Um, yeah, there's a a push for

1015
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:39,359
a return to basics. Um, and uh, and also

1016
00:42:39,359 --> 00:42:43,040
that we're hearing um, the House uh,

1017
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:44,720
we're hopefully going to be seeing

1018
00:42:44,720 --> 00:42:47,359
within the next few weeks uh, some

1019
00:42:47,359 --> 00:42:49,359
language out of the House for uh,

1020
00:42:49,359 --> 00:42:51,920
reauthorization. The Senate isn't quite

1021
00:42:51,920 --> 00:42:55,200
there. Um and so while the bill expires

1022
00:42:55,200 --> 00:42:58,400
in September, uh we may potentially see

1023
00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:01,839
a um an extension. This has happened in

1024
00:43:01,839 --> 00:43:04,400
the past for I think almost all of the

1025
00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:06,079
previous surface transportation

1026
00:43:06,079 --> 00:43:09,680
reauthorizations. Um and so we may not

1027
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,839
see this reauthorized on time. It could

1028
00:43:11,839 --> 00:43:14,800
be extended at current funding levels.

1029
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:17,520
Um still still TBD. I will say one of

1030
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:20,079
the reasons why working uh with Senator

1031
00:43:20,079 --> 00:43:22,319
Curtis makes a lot of sense in this case

1032
00:43:22,319 --> 00:43:25,440
is because Senator Curtis sits on the

1033
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:27,599
Senate uh environment and public works

1034
00:43:27,599 --> 00:43:30,720
committee. Uh so he has a more direct

1035
00:43:30,720 --> 00:43:33,200
role in the surface transportation

1036
00:43:33,200 --> 00:43:36,400
reauthorization. And so WFRC has also

1037
00:43:36,400 --> 00:43:38,640
been working with Senator Curtis. We

1038
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:42,720
also have uh Congressman um uh

1039
00:43:42,720 --> 00:43:44,560
Congressman Owens and Congressman

1040
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:45,920
Kennedy who sit on the House

1041
00:43:45,920 --> 00:43:47,440
Transportation and Infrastructure

1042
00:43:47,440 --> 00:43:49,280
Committee. So, we've been uh working

1043
00:43:49,280 --> 00:43:53,520
with them as well on uh supporting

1044
00:43:53,520 --> 00:43:56,240
uh one of the the WFRC priorities that

1045
00:43:56,240 --> 00:44:01,119
we're asking them to prioritize is uh um

1046
00:44:01,119 --> 00:44:03,760
sorry, I'm losing my words. um is

1047
00:44:03,760 --> 00:44:06,000
formula funding that goes to

1048
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,839
metropolitan planning organizations like

1049
00:44:07,839 --> 00:44:10,640
WFRC. Cameron uh mentioned one of the

1050
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:12,720
programs, the transportation alternative

1051
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:14,640
program, which is a formula program that

1052
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:16,800
we receive funding for. And so the

1053
00:44:16,800 --> 00:44:19,119
importance of ensuring that Congress

1054
00:44:19,119 --> 00:44:20,720
reauthorizes

1055
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:23,599
um these core programs that give us the

1056
00:44:23,599 --> 00:44:25,040
funding that we need to do the work that

1057
00:44:25,040 --> 00:44:27,280
we do. And so, uh, we've been engaging

1058
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,040
with our congressional delegation quite

1059
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:31,920
a bit as well. Um, and they have been

1060
00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:34,160
helpful, responsive. Senator Curtis,

1061
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:35,760
especially him and his team have been

1062
00:44:35,760 --> 00:44:38,160
really great. So again, we just want to

1063
00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:40,319
uh thank Bike Utah and some of our other

1064
00:44:40,319 --> 00:44:43,200
partners for also, you know, this this

1065
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:44,480
collaborative teamwork that we're doing

1066
00:44:44,480 --> 00:44:48,319
to ensure that not only Utah, but NPOS's

1067
00:44:48,319 --> 00:44:52,079
that local governments um nationwide um

1068
00:44:52,079 --> 00:44:54,240
come out in a in a positive place with

1069
00:44:54,240 --> 00:44:56,720
this next uh transportation bill. So

1070
00:44:56,720 --> 00:44:58,319
thanks for sharing, Cameron. Yeah,

1071
00:44:58,319 --> 00:45:01,280
Commissioner.

1072
00:45:01,280 --> 00:45:05,839
>> Um so have we contacted like Congressman

1073
00:45:05,839 --> 00:45:07,359
Malloy

1074
00:45:07,359 --> 00:45:10,880
uh cuz she's a super hard worker and uh

1075
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,839
I think isn't she on the infrastructure

1076
00:45:13,839 --> 00:45:15,680
committee

1077
00:45:15,680 --> 00:45:18,240
appropriations. So that would be a good

1078
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:20,480
person to talk to and to work with and

1079
00:45:20,480 --> 00:45:23,200
plus you why have we not talked with

1080
00:45:23,200 --> 00:45:25,599
Senator Lee? We know

1081
00:45:25,599 --> 00:45:27,680
>> Yeah, good question. So we we've had uh

1082
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:30,480
at least at WFRC we've had outreach to

1083
00:45:30,480 --> 00:45:32,079
all of our members of the congressional

1084
00:45:32,079 --> 00:45:34,560
delegation. So each year we at least go

1085
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:36,960
out once at least once a year to go meet

1086
00:45:36,960 --> 00:45:39,359
with them all. And um this last time in

1087
00:45:39,359 --> 00:45:41,440
February and we went uh surface

1088
00:45:41,440 --> 00:45:43,760
transportation reauthorization was a

1089
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:45,920
topic of discussion for all of the

1090
00:45:45,920 --> 00:45:47,280
members of our delegation. So we did

1091
00:45:47,280 --> 00:45:49,680
meet with Senator Lee. Uh we also met

1092
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:54,000
with Representative Mallaloy um and the rest of the Utah delegation

1093
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,359
sharing the importance of these

1094
00:45:55,359 --> 00:46:03,349
programs. So,

1095
00:46:03,359 --> 00:46:06,240
» and thank you. Thank you very much. All

1096
00:46:06,240 --> 00:46:09,760
right. Next, M Miranda's up with a

1097
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,200
legislative update

1098
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:15,520
recap.

1099
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:20,560
Bad news session. No, I don't know.

1100
00:46:20,560 --> 00:46:24,000
Right. Thank you, Mayor. Appreciate it.

1101
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,560
Um,

1102
00:46:26,560 --> 00:46:29,040
let me just pop this up for everybody.

1103
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:31,200
Well, so session has been over for a

1104
00:46:31,200 --> 00:46:35,040
little over a month now. Um, I think

1105
00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:37,200
this week is my last of like these

1106
00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:39,119
presentations. It feels like for a

1107
00:46:39,119 --> 00:46:41,040
pretty consistent amount of weeks. We're

1108
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:42,560
still talking about what happened during

1109
00:46:42,560 --> 00:46:45,760
the legislative session. Um, which is

1110
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:49,599
important. Um, but anyways, I I want to

1111
00:46:49,599 --> 00:46:51,599
highlight a few a few different things.

1112
00:46:51,599 --> 00:46:53,520
obviously focus towards active

1113
00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:55,280
transportation for this group

1114
00:46:55,280 --> 00:46:57,599
specifically. Um but first want to just

1115
00:46:57,599 --> 00:46:59,200
highlight some of the resources that

1116
00:46:59,200 --> 00:47:01,920
WFRC has if you weren't aware of them.

1117
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:05,440
Um on our government affairs um web page

1118
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:07,200
we have our bill tracker, our

1119
00:47:07,200 --> 00:47:10,560
appropriations tracker, um policy briefs

1120
00:47:10,560 --> 00:47:12,480
on certain bills that passed this

1121
00:47:12,480 --> 00:47:14,720
legislative session. So uh if you're

1122
00:47:14,720 --> 00:47:16,800
curious, highly suggest heading there

1123
00:47:16,800 --> 00:47:18,800
for more information, more detailed

1124
00:47:18,800 --> 00:47:21,680
information. Um, if you do have

1125
00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:23,280
questions, I'll also note and maybe I'll

1126
00:47:23,280 --> 00:47:25,119
have Commissioner Fackerel hold it up.

1127
00:47:25,119 --> 00:47:26,400
Commissioner, do you see that postcard

1128
00:47:26,400 --> 00:47:28,480
you have right next to you if you want

1129
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:31,119
to hold that up to the group? We have um

1130
00:47:31,119 --> 00:47:33,280
these legislative summary postcards. I

1131
00:47:33,280 --> 00:47:34,960
have some by the door if folks want to

1132
00:47:34,960 --> 00:47:38,160
snag one on the way out. Um, that we've

1133
00:47:38,160 --> 00:47:40,400
put together at WFRC to really highlight

1134
00:47:40,400 --> 00:47:42,880
what we felt were some of the top

1135
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,880
transportation focused pieces of

1136
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,720
legislation and appropriations that

1137
00:47:46,720 --> 00:47:48,880
passed this legislative session. I think

1138
00:47:48,880 --> 00:47:50,640
that document right there is the most

1139
00:47:50,640 --> 00:47:53,760
succinct um quick reference for some of

1140
00:47:53,760 --> 00:47:56,000
those some of those big uh outcomes from

1141
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,599
the session. So feel free to grab one of

1142
00:47:57,599 --> 00:47:59,599
those. I think folks will some of our

1143
00:47:59,599 --> 00:48:00,880
someone from our team will hopefully

1144
00:48:00,880 --> 00:48:02,960
drop that in the chat as well if we get

1145
00:48:02,960 --> 00:48:05,839
the chance. Um

1146
00:48:05,839 --> 00:48:08,160
so let's quickly walk through what

1147
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,680
happened during the legislative session.

1148
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:12,960
I want to highlight two key themes that

1149
00:48:12,960 --> 00:48:18,160
WFRC took away from the session. Um it

1150
00:48:18,160 --> 00:48:20,000
you know each session has its own

1151
00:48:20,000 --> 00:48:23,040
character has its own you know feeling

1152
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:25,200
to it and these were two that we felt

1153
00:48:25,200 --> 00:48:28,319
was one that some funds were shifted

1154
00:48:28,319 --> 00:48:31,200
from existing transportation

1155
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,880
um resources or needs and put towards

1156
00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,040
housing related infrastructure needs. So

1157
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:39,760
there was kind of a shift um where you

1158
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,839
know there were probably five years or

1159
00:48:41,839 --> 00:48:44,400
so where we saw really significant

1160
00:48:44,400 --> 00:48:46,800
one-time and ongoing investment into the

1161
00:48:46,800 --> 00:48:48,880
transportation system upwards of

1162
00:48:48,880 --> 00:48:51,040
billions of dollars each year for

1163
00:48:51,040 --> 00:48:54,880
transportation. Um the you know funding

1164
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:57,119
wasn't quite available for that these as

1165
00:48:57,119 --> 00:48:59,200
we're seeing moving forward these these

1166
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,599
years and the focus is kind of shifting

1167
00:49:01,599 --> 00:49:04,720
towards other needs like housing. Um on

1168
00:49:04,720 --> 00:49:07,119
top of that we also uh one of the key

1169
00:49:07,119 --> 00:49:09,520
themes with some new tools were released

1170
00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:12,720
to address infrastructure demands. Um

1171
00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:15,599
for example the transportation utility

1172
00:49:15,599 --> 00:49:18,319
fee that local governments can impose to

1173
00:49:18,319 --> 00:49:20,960
fund their transportation needs. Um

1174
00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:24,960
certain grant uh and loan programs for

1175
00:49:24,960 --> 00:49:27,280
uh transportation and other housing

1176
00:49:27,280 --> 00:49:29,520
related infrastructure. So those are

1177
00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:31,680
some of the key themes from from the

1178
00:49:31,680 --> 00:49:33,839
session that we felt uh were important

1179
00:49:33,839 --> 00:49:37,040
to note. Um I'm going to talk about

1180
00:49:37,040 --> 00:49:39,599
three I think three different bills that

1181
00:49:39,599 --> 00:49:43,359
had some active transportation related

1182
00:49:43,359 --> 00:49:46,960
um aspects to them. Uh some years we see

1183
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,760
more AT bills than other years. This

1184
00:49:49,760 --> 00:49:51,200
year it was maybe a little bit more

1185
00:49:51,200 --> 00:49:53,200
mild. Um but there there were some

1186
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,079
significant ones. So um in this previous

1187
00:49:56,079 --> 00:49:58,640
discussion we had a lot of conversation

1188
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,520
about some of the the key themes. One of

1189
00:50:01,520 --> 00:50:07,680
those was uh ebike safety. Um, so HB 381

1190
00:50:07,680 --> 00:50:09,440
e-mobility device amendments by

1191
00:50:09,440 --> 00:50:12,640
Representative Cutler addressed or uh

1192
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,400
attempted to start addressing some of

1193
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:17,760
those concerns regarding ebike safety,

1194
00:50:17,760 --> 00:50:20,640
including uh making technical changes to

1195
00:50:20,640 --> 00:50:22,720
reduce confusion between ebikes and

1196
00:50:22,720 --> 00:50:25,200
electric motorcycles, establishing

1197
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:28,720
safety requirements for um for young

1198
00:50:28,720 --> 00:50:32,000
ebike users, uh establishing helmet

1199
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,480
requirements. Um there there's a lot

1200
00:50:34,480 --> 00:50:38,000
with within this bill. Um WFRC wasn't

1201
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:41,359
like in the weeds of um of working out

1202
00:50:41,359 --> 00:50:44,000
the the ins and outs of this bill. So if

1203
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,559
you know Travis at UD do wants to add

1204
00:50:46,559 --> 00:50:51,119
anything more about about this and what UD do is going to do moving forward

1205
00:50:51,119 --> 00:50:53,040
or you I don't know if you were involved

1206
00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:55,040
in those conversations as well, but feel

1207
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:56,559
free to weigh in if you feel like you

1208
00:50:56,559 --> 00:51:01,839
want to add any color to to this bill or how it maybe came to be or came to

1209
00:51:01,839 --> 00:51:03,760
pass.

1210
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:07,040
No. Okay.

1211
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:11,440
Um, second bill worth worth noting uh is

1212
00:51:11,440 --> 00:51:15,680
Senate Bill 242. This we regarded as the

1213
00:51:15,680 --> 00:51:18,559
transportation omnibus, meaning that

1214
00:51:18,559 --> 00:51:22,960
there this bill had I don't know 20 to

1215
00:51:22,960 --> 00:51:26,079
30 different transportation related

1216
00:51:26,079 --> 00:51:28,559
provisions included in this bill and

1217
00:51:28,559 --> 00:51:29,920
there were a handful of active

1218
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:31,599
transportation related provisions as

1219
00:51:31,599 --> 00:51:33,440
well. So, I have those highlighted here.

1220
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:40,000
The bill did a lot more than just what I have noted. So, notably um and uh

1221
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:42,160
and and we've talked about this um

1222
00:51:42,160 --> 00:51:44,000
before in the past and then we had some

1223
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:45,760
public comment related to this as well.

1224
00:51:45,760 --> 00:51:48,720
This uh amends provisions related to

1225
00:51:48,720 --> 00:51:50,640
highway reduction strategies in Salt

1226
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:54,000
Lake City. This was a follow-up bill, a

1227
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:57,040
follow-up provision in the bill to SP

1228
00:51:57,040 --> 00:52:00,720
195 from last legislative session. Um

1229
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:04,480
the bill made quite a few changes um in

1230
00:52:04,480 --> 00:52:07,040
into what was what is being required of

1231
00:52:07,040 --> 00:52:08,960
Salt Lake City regarding highway

1232
00:52:08,960 --> 00:52:11,920
reduction strategies including um

1233
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:15,040
expanding the their study area um

1234
00:52:15,040 --> 00:52:16,880
requiring that they codified their

1235
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,079
tiered road structure. So tiered roads

1236
00:52:20,079 --> 00:52:22,559
uh one through four tiers uh and

1237
00:52:22,559 --> 00:52:25,359
limiting certain uh highway reduction

1238
00:52:25,359 --> 00:52:28,800
strategies again um lane narrowing on

1239
00:52:28,800 --> 00:52:32,079
street parking some of those things um

1240
00:52:32,079 --> 00:52:35,280
uh lane widths on uh each of these

1241
00:52:35,280 --> 00:52:40,319
tiered roads. Um and and uh those tiers,

1242
00:52:40,319 --> 00:52:42,240
like a tier one road, which is more of a

1243
00:52:42,240 --> 00:52:44,000
regionally significant road, has

1244
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:48,079
different requirements than a uh local

1245
00:52:48,079 --> 00:52:50,800
um a a smaller non-regionally

1246
00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:54,960
significant road. Um I I certainly don't

1247
00:52:54,960 --> 00:52:58,240
want to like whitewash, you know, the

1248
00:52:58,240 --> 00:53:00,400
challenges associated with this or how

1249
00:53:00,400 --> 00:53:02,559
challenging this is for Salt Lake City.

1250
00:53:02,559 --> 00:53:05,520
Obviously, this has been um I know a lot

1251
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,040
of members, especially in the active

1252
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:09,200
transportation community, have shared

1253
00:53:09,200 --> 00:53:12,319
their concerns with this bill. Um and we

1254
00:53:12,319 --> 00:53:15,920
of course don't want to see um you know,

1255
00:53:15,920 --> 00:53:18,160
these types of provisions who where it's

1256
00:53:18,160 --> 00:53:19,680
just specific to Salt Lake City

1257
00:53:19,680 --> 00:53:21,520
obviously bleed out into other

1258
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:28,720
communities. Um uh but I will say one positive thing uh is that UDOT and

1259
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:32,319
UTA have both expressed sorry UD do and

1260
00:53:32,319 --> 00:53:35,359
Salt Lake City have both expressed

1261
00:53:35,359 --> 00:53:37,760
optimism and of course willingness in

1262
00:53:37,760 --> 00:53:40,640
working together to address what is

1263
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:43,520
being required of them in this bill. And

1264
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:46,240
um so I'll just I'll just share that

1265
00:53:46,240 --> 00:53:49,280
optimism in that both of those partners

1266
00:53:49,280 --> 00:53:50,800
with you know obviously great

1267
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,480
transportation teams that we work with

1268
00:53:52,480 --> 00:53:56,960
regularly um are are willing to uh find

1269
00:53:56,960 --> 00:54:00,160
the be best road best path forward in

1270
00:54:00,160 --> 00:54:02,400
addressing these requirements. So that's

1271
00:54:02,400 --> 00:54:03,920
maybe just one thing I wanted to note

1272
00:54:03,920 --> 00:54:06,880
there. A sorry, excuse me. A few other

1273
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:08,800
things that the bill did is that it

1274
00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:13,680
defies it defines in code um the Utah

1275
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:16,160
trail network. This is important for

1276
00:54:16,160 --> 00:54:19,040
various reasons important for future

1277
00:54:19,040 --> 00:54:21,280
changes in code related to active

1278
00:54:21,280 --> 00:54:24,000
transportation. Um, but Utah Trail

1279
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:26,000
Network is now established in state

1280
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,400
code. And notably, this bill uh allows

1281
00:54:30,400 --> 00:54:32,400
the active transportation investment

1282
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:35,520
funds um which I mentioned before, $45

1283
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,760
million ongoing for active

1284
00:54:37,760 --> 00:54:39,680
transportation for the Utah Trail

1285
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,880
Network um can be used for corridor

1286
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,520
preservation um where that that use

1287
00:54:45,520 --> 00:54:48,640
wasn't explicitly stated before. So,

1288
00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,559
positive there. Um that was one of the

1289
00:54:50,559 --> 00:54:52,400
items that Hugh had mentioned. And then

1290
00:54:52,400 --> 00:54:55,200
lastly, uh on the the same vein of

1291
00:54:55,200 --> 00:54:58,240
quarter preservation, HB481, this is the

1292
00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:00,640
transportation minibus, which had

1293
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,720
slightly less provisions um than the uh

1294
00:55:04,720 --> 00:55:07,440
Senate Bill 242. But this would allow

1295
00:55:07,440 --> 00:55:10,079
for local quarter preservation funds,

1296
00:55:10,079 --> 00:55:13,760
meaning um that counties have imposed uh

1297
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:15,760
to be used for regionally significant

1298
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:18,480
active transportation projects

1299
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:20,880
identified in uh regional transportation

1300
00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:23,200
plans. for first and secondass counties.

1301
00:55:23,200 --> 00:55:26,800
So again, more flexibility in how these

1302
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:29,599
funding resources uh local governments

1303
00:55:29,599 --> 00:55:32,480
have available. Um more flexibility in

1304
00:55:32,480 --> 00:55:35,040
how they can be used um by local

1305
00:55:35,040 --> 00:55:37,200
governments. So again, a really positive

1306
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:39,520
outcome there.

1307
00:55:39,520 --> 00:55:42,559
Um just lastly I'll just again in theme

1308
00:55:42,559 --> 00:55:45,119
in in terms of higher broader themes

1309
00:55:45,119 --> 00:55:46,319
other things that happened during the

1310
00:55:46,319 --> 00:55:49,440
session regarding uh appropriations

1311
00:55:49,440 --> 00:55:52,079
there was new addition a a a new

1312
00:55:52,079 --> 00:55:55,119
additional funding mechanism for transit

1313
00:55:55,119 --> 00:55:57,440
passed for the transit transportation

1314
00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:01,200
investment fund um it's modest growth um

1315
00:56:01,200 --> 00:56:03,280
over time that would take a portion of

1316
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,640
state sales tax to go to the TTIF um but

1317
00:56:06,640 --> 00:56:09,119
still a a great step in the right ction.

1318
00:56:09,119 --> 00:56:11,200
I had mentioned uh regional

1319
00:56:11,200 --> 00:56:12,720
infrastructure

1320
00:56:12,720 --> 00:56:15,359
uh for unlocking housing development. So

1321
00:56:15,359 --> 00:56:18,559
there's several grant and loan funds now

1322
00:56:18,559 --> 00:56:21,280
available for local governments. Um

1323
00:56:21,280 --> 00:56:26,400
technical assistance that uh WFRC, UD do

1324
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,960
and the other AOGs provide to our some

1325
00:56:28,960 --> 00:56:31,520
of our more smaller more rural

1326
00:56:31,520 --> 00:56:34,400
communities. Um that funding was

1327
00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:36,319
restored because it was previously cut.

1328
00:56:36,319 --> 00:56:38,400
And so we're happy that the legislature

1329
00:56:38,400 --> 00:56:41,280
continues to see the value um in

1330
00:56:41,280 --> 00:56:43,119
providing technical assistance to

1331
00:56:43,119 --> 00:56:44,319
communities that don't have the

1332
00:56:44,319 --> 00:56:47,440
technical expertise on staff um and

1333
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:50,160
allow and relying on other partners uh

1334
00:56:50,160 --> 00:56:52,799
like the AOGs to do that. And then

1335
00:56:52,799 --> 00:56:54,720
lastly, I kind of mentioned some of the

1336
00:56:54,720 --> 00:56:58,400
shifting of um transportation

1337
00:56:58,400 --> 00:57:01,920
uh funds. U DOT took some some pretty

1338
00:57:01,920 --> 00:57:04,319
significant hits to their budget this

1339
00:57:04,319 --> 00:57:09,119
year. um uh a gas tax reduction uh

1340
00:57:09,119 --> 00:57:12,480
caused um some reduction in uh

1341
00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,480
transportation revenues that now they'll

1342
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:17,440
have to um unfortunately delay some

1343
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:19,520
projects. There were other impacts to

1344
00:57:19,520 --> 00:57:23,280
some of their funds. um not UD do of

1345
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:24,960
course is taking this in stride

1346
00:57:24,960 --> 00:57:27,760
adjusting um their programs as needed

1347
00:57:27,760 --> 00:57:30,880
but just notable compared to pre years

1348
00:57:30,880 --> 00:57:33,280
past where there was a lot of new

1349
00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,119
funding going into the transportation

1350
00:57:35,119 --> 00:57:38,160
system. So um that's all I have to share

1351
00:57:38,160 --> 00:57:41,280
from this session. Of course would

1352
00:57:41,280 --> 00:57:43,599
like anyone else to weigh in. Um I know

1353
00:57:43,599 --> 00:57:45,520
a lot of us here track things during the

1354
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:47,599
session and so if anyone has any

1355
00:57:47,599 --> 00:57:56,789
thoughts feel free um to to share

1356
00:57:56,799 --> 00:57:58,480
Miranda I'll share something from our

1357
00:57:58,480 --> 00:58:01,920
partners down in MAG and

1358
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:04,400
uh there was a a bill getting run

1359
00:58:04,400 --> 00:58:07,280
regarding

1360
00:58:07,280 --> 00:58:10,559
uh canals basically but like water water

1361
00:58:10,559 --> 00:58:13,520
conveyances and when the holder of that

1362
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,599
conveyance or that easement is

1363
00:58:15,599 --> 00:58:18,079
abandoning it. Uh the idea was that

1364
00:58:18,079 --> 00:58:20,079
they'd have to put that out and allow

1365
00:58:20,079 --> 00:58:22,160
cities to possibly take over that

1366
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:25,200
conveyance method. And the idea that

1367
00:58:25,200 --> 00:58:28,000
maybe it could be converted into a

1368
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,200
trail. So it's like a a tie to try and

1369
00:58:31,200 --> 00:58:33,280
get more trails as canals perhaps get

1370
00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:34,240
abandoned.

1371
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:36,079
>> Is that ringing? I know it didn't pass

1372
00:58:36,079 --> 00:58:38,000
or go anywhere, but does that ring a

1373
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:38,640
bell? And

1374
00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,000
>> you know, unfortunately, it's not

1375
00:58:40,000 --> 00:58:40,960
ringing a bell. It's not like a

1376
00:58:40,960 --> 00:58:42,559
transportation one. So, yeah.

1377
00:58:42,559 --> 00:58:44,160
>> Well, well, I guess the question is was

1378
00:58:44,160 --> 00:58:48,000
that I know we've seen some of those um

1379
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,000
some of those bills in the past

1380
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:53,440
regarding um water conveyances and

1381
00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:56,000
canals specifically in the past. I know

1382
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:58,240
that that's those haven't passed because

1383
00:58:58,240 --> 00:58:59,839
of some of the challenges working with

1384
00:58:59,839 --> 00:59:03,040
the canal district districts. Is that

1385
00:59:03,040 --> 00:59:06,720
right? Sure. Um, I wasn't aware of that

1386
00:59:06,720 --> 00:59:09,040
this session, Hugh, but if I did miss

1387
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:11,680
that, then I should definitely kind of

1388
00:59:11,680 --> 00:59:12,720
get up to speed on that.

1389
00:59:12,720 --> 00:59:14,079
>> Sorry, I'm not trying to call you out by

1390
00:59:14,079 --> 00:59:16,160
any means. This is I think it was kind

1391
00:59:16,160 --> 00:59:18,960
of couched in a weird one that maybe W4C

1392
00:59:18,960 --> 00:59:20,319
wasn't watching because it didn't have

1393
00:59:20,319 --> 00:59:22,480
anything to say transportation anywhere,

1394
00:59:22,480 --> 00:59:23,760
but I don't know if anybody else around

1395
00:59:23,760 --> 00:59:26,160
the table or online knows anything more

1396
00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:29,680
about it, but okay. Again, this is Yeah,

1397
00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:31,760
Mag said, "Hey, what about this thing?"

1398
00:59:31,760 --> 00:59:33,599
So, I just wanted to bring it up. Well,

1399
00:59:33,599 --> 00:59:35,440
Hugh, it's pretty hard to figure out all

1400
00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:36,799
the bills because there were over a

1401
00:59:36,799 --> 00:59:39,839
thousand proposed I think in our

1402
00:59:39,839 --> 00:59:41,839
>> I think that was maybe their I think it

1403
00:59:41,839 --> 00:59:44,240
was perhaps the highest number of bills

1404
00:59:44,240 --> 00:59:48,160
introduced um before which yeah it's

1405
00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,400
hard it's hard to keep on top of all of

1406
00:59:50,400 --> 00:59:51,599
them as you know mayor

1407
00:59:51,599 --> 00:59:53,119
>> especially good that it's a small

1408
00:59:53,119 --> 00:59:55,119
government state so we want to keep that

1409
00:59:55,119 --> 00:59:57,760
government small so we do the thousand

1410
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:00,319
mark in bills anyway Miranda I did want

1411
01:00:00,319 --> 01:00:02,000
to say just before you leave I really

1412
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:03,119
want to thank you because you did an

1413
01:00:03,119 --> 01:00:06,160
excellent job this year at that session.

1414
01:00:06,160 --> 01:00:08,880
Um, you have a nice calm demeanor. Um,

1415
01:00:08,880 --> 01:00:12,240
and you and it was hectic on all fronts

1416
01:00:12,240 --> 01:00:14,000
because and a lot of this transportation

1417
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:17,040
stuff came to fruition at the last like

1418
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,040
it often does, but some of this big

1419
01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,599
stuff got messed with and and came apart

1420
01:00:21,599 --> 01:00:23,359
or came together depending on your point

1421
01:00:23,359 --> 01:00:25,920
of view at the last minute. And so you

1422
01:00:25,920 --> 01:00:27,760
did a really good job. I I just want to

1423
01:00:27,760 --> 01:00:29,760
thank you personally. I observed you.

1424
01:00:29,760 --> 01:00:32,319
were hard. We were well served by

1425
01:00:32,319 --> 01:00:33,680
your work there and you're you're doing

1426
01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,160
a good job. I also appreciate this. I

1427
01:00:36,160 --> 01:00:38,000
think this is really cool. If you tried

1428
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,440
to do this for all the bills, it'd be

1429
01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:41,520
about Bible size. So, you did a great

1430
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,599
job with this. So, again, thanks. We're

1431
01:00:43,599 --> 01:00:44,960
lucky to have Morirana. Good work.

1432
01:00:44,960 --> 01:00:46,240
>> Awesome. Thank you, mayor.

1433
01:00:46,240 --> 01:00:50,079
>> Next item up is um Hugh is going to talk

1434
01:00:50,079 --> 01:00:52,400
to us about the transportation

1435
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:54,880
improvement program funding for biking

1436
01:00:54,880 --> 01:01:02,309
and walking projects.

1437
01:01:02,319 --> 01:01:03,599
Thanks, mayor. One of the fun things

1438
01:01:03,599 --> 01:01:05,359
about being the staff lead is I get to

1439
01:01:05,359 --> 01:01:07,280
speak to you all um more than other

1440
01:01:07,280 --> 01:01:11,510
folks, which I appreciate.

1441
01:01:11,520 --> 01:01:17,520
So every year um WFRC goes through

1442
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:20,000
a new transportation improvement program

1443
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:22,240
to recommend projects that are applied

1444
01:01:22,240 --> 01:01:25,599
for uh from local governments for

1445
01:01:25,599 --> 01:01:28,799
funding. And Cameron mentioned this,

1446
01:01:28,799 --> 01:01:30,960
these are part of these formula funds

1447
01:01:30,960 --> 01:01:33,680
that are authorized by Congress to come

1448
01:01:33,680 --> 01:01:37,359
down in our case to NPOS's. um in in

1449
01:01:37,359 --> 01:01:38,960
some cases it's UD do that's handling

1450
01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:42,480
these areas for Tilla and Morgan but the

1451
01:01:42,480 --> 01:01:46,640
programs that WFRC handles directly um

1452
01:01:46,640 --> 01:01:48,720
are these four that you see up on the

1453
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:51,440
screen this is a snapshot uh from our

1454
01:01:51,440 --> 01:01:54,079
website uh so if you go to our website

1455
01:01:54,079 --> 01:01:55,920
you can find these and you can learn

1456
01:01:55,920 --> 01:01:57,440
more about the specific programs but

1457
01:01:57,440 --> 01:01:59,440
it's the congestion mitigation and air

1458
01:01:59,440 --> 01:02:00,960
quality

1459
01:02:00,960 --> 01:02:03,440
the surface transportation program which

1460
01:02:03,440 --> 01:02:05,680
is the largest uh pot of

1461
01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:08,079
and sort of all-incclusive um for

1462
01:02:08,079 --> 01:02:09,520
transportation projects the

1463
01:02:09,520 --> 01:02:11,280
transportation alternatives program TA

1464
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:13,040
program that Cameron was talking about

1465
01:02:13,040 --> 01:02:15,599
and then uh the relatively new carbon

1466
01:02:15,599 --> 01:02:17,599
reduction program. So just raise of

1467
01:02:17,599 --> 01:02:19,680
hands people familiar with these

1468
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,720
programs have heard the terms before.

1469
01:02:22,720 --> 01:02:27,440
Yeah. Okay. Pretty well. So um as I

1470
01:02:27,440 --> 01:02:28,640
mentioned every year we receive

1471
01:02:28,640 --> 01:02:32,480
applications and then um those

1472
01:02:32,480 --> 01:02:34,480
applications get uh recommended for

1473
01:02:34,480 --> 01:02:38,559
funding and just want to go over those

1474
01:02:38,559 --> 01:02:40,720
funds uh the recommendations that were

1475
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,160
made recently by the transportation

1476
01:02:44,160 --> 01:02:46,319
coordinating committee technical

1477
01:02:46,319 --> 01:02:50,400
advisory committee or transcom tax.

1478
01:02:50,400 --> 01:02:53,040
Before we do that

1479
01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:54,319
you still have your phone out. It's the

1480
01:02:54,319 --> 01:02:56,400
same slido thing that you don't have to

1481
01:02:56,400 --> 01:03:00,480
change it on. But um over the last 10

1482
01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:03,760
years, just a little quick quiz, how

1483
01:03:03,760 --> 01:03:05,359
much money has been programmed to

1484
01:03:05,359 --> 01:03:07,760
specific active transportation projects

1485
01:03:07,760 --> 01:03:12,960
in the WFRC urban area through the TIP?

1486
01:03:12,960 --> 01:03:15,280
And I say specific because there's a lot

1487
01:03:15,280 --> 01:03:17,920
of money that gets spent on sidewalks

1488
01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:19,680
and bike lanes as part of larger

1489
01:03:19,680 --> 01:03:21,920
transportation projects. But this is a

1490
01:03:21,920 --> 01:03:24,559
question about specific transportation

1491
01:03:24,559 --> 01:03:26,400
projects that aren't part of a larger

1492
01:03:26,400 --> 01:03:28,880
one.

1493
01:03:28,880 --> 01:03:34,000
>> You is that first one. Um the 43.5 is

1494
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:35,440
that million or is that

1495
01:03:35,440 --> 01:03:37,520
>> I'm sorry. A million. Yes. I missed the

1496
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:40,319
M. Just $43.

1497
01:03:40,319 --> 01:03:42,799
Well, you could choose that if you want

1498
01:03:42,799 --> 01:03:46,720
real. Yeah. Yeah,

1499
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:48,480
that's right. We we crowdfunded that

1500
01:03:48,480 --> 01:03:51,119
with pennies from people's piggy banks.

1501
01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:56,559
So yeah, just so you know, um I'll show

1502
01:03:56,559 --> 01:03:59,280
the the answer right now, but looks like

1503
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,640
majority of people are thinking 73 plus

1504
01:04:02,640 --> 01:04:05,760
million dollars. And here's a breakdown

1505
01:04:05,760 --> 01:04:08,880
of um the last 10 years, not including

1506
01:04:08,880 --> 01:04:11,680
the current year of where that money has

1507
01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,400
been spent. So tap in blue and the

1508
01:04:14,400 --> 01:04:16,000
transportation alternatives congestion

1509
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:18,400
mitigation air quality or CMAC in red

1510
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:20,480
and surface transportation program in

1511
01:04:20,480 --> 01:04:23,440
that uh yellowish orange throughout the

1512
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:25,200
years.

1513
01:04:25,200 --> 01:04:26,880
You can see how it's ebbed and flowed,

1514
01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,280
but we've had a really um number of

1515
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,720
healthy years as well. And carbon

1516
01:04:32,720 --> 01:04:34,319
reduction program again is a relatively

1517
01:04:34,319 --> 01:04:35,680
newer program, so you don't see that

1518
01:04:35,680 --> 01:04:37,359
green show up until later because it

1519
01:04:37,359 --> 01:04:38,559
wasn't available in those previous

1520
01:04:38,559 --> 01:04:42,319
years. All told, there's been 73 plus

1521
01:04:42,319 --> 01:04:44,000
million dollars programmed from these

1522
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,640
program u these programs. Thank you

1523
01:04:46,640 --> 01:04:49,359
workclap. That's great. So just to give

1524
01:04:49,359 --> 01:04:52,000
you an idea of how much money is being

1525
01:04:52,000 --> 01:04:53,680
spent through these programs again on

1526
01:04:53,680 --> 01:04:55,920
specific um active transportation

1527
01:04:55,920 --> 01:04:57,839
projects.

1528
01:04:57,839 --> 01:04:59,359
Um

1529
01:04:59,359 --> 01:05:02,079
we have two urbanized areas in the WFRC

1530
01:05:02,079 --> 01:05:03,839
area. One is the Ogden Leighton urban

1531
01:05:03,839 --> 01:05:06,000
area. I'll go over those projects first

1532
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,640
just to give you an idea again of how

1533
01:05:08,640 --> 01:05:12,160
many projects are

1534
01:05:12,160 --> 01:05:14,720
there we go were requested from each

1535
01:05:14,720 --> 01:05:16,319
program. How much money was

1536
01:05:16,319 --> 01:05:17,520
approximately available for each

1537
01:05:17,520 --> 01:05:19,440
program. So in that surface

1538
01:05:19,440 --> 01:05:22,400
transportation program

1539
01:05:22,400 --> 01:05:25,520
17 projects were applied for over $64

1540
01:05:25,520 --> 01:05:29,200
million requested um and about not quite

1541
01:05:29,200 --> 01:05:32,640
$12 million to actually program CMAC.

1542
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:34,960
Um, not quite. It's a little over $24

1543
01:05:34,960 --> 01:05:36,960
million requested, just over three to

1544
01:05:36,960 --> 01:05:41,760
program. And the TAP, uh, 1.3

1545
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:44,559
requested and about 1.1 million

1546
01:05:44,559 --> 01:05:47,920
available. And carbon reduction, um,

1547
01:05:47,920 --> 01:05:50,880
over $16 million requested and just over

1548
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:54,240
$1.3 million available. So, a lot of ask

1549
01:05:54,240 --> 01:05:56,160
um, compared to the needs or the

1550
01:05:56,160 --> 01:05:57,599
resources available. A lot of needs

1551
01:05:57,599 --> 01:05:59,440
compared to the resources available.

1552
01:05:59,440 --> 01:06:00,559
>> I'm just going to go over specific

1553
01:06:00,559 --> 01:06:02,160
biking and walking projects. Not

1554
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:03,119
everything that was applied for.

1555
01:06:03,119 --> 01:06:04,240
>> May I interrupt you,

1556
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:04,880
>> please?

1557
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:08,319
>> So that does not include any of the UTN.

1558
01:06:08,319 --> 01:06:09,839
>> Correct.

1559
01:06:09,839 --> 01:06:14,480
Does not include UTN projects.

1560
01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:16,960
Clickity click. Uh so in North Salt

1561
01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:18,880
Lake, they applied for a sidewalk. Part

1562
01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:20,720
of the reason is to let you know what

1563
01:06:20,720 --> 01:06:22,480
was being recommended by the tax. Part

1564
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:23,760
of the reason is to expose you to the

1565
01:06:23,760 --> 01:06:25,680
type of projects um that are getting

1566
01:06:25,680 --> 01:06:27,200
recommended to think about for your

1567
01:06:27,200 --> 01:06:30,000
communities. What might you apply for?

1568
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:31,440
And so this example in North Salt Lake

1569
01:06:31,440 --> 01:06:33,440
City is in Cutler Drive. It's a sidewalk

1570
01:06:33,440 --> 01:06:34,960
improvement

1571
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:37,839
and um to fill in gaps on one side of

1572
01:06:37,839 --> 01:06:40,880
the street. Uh it has a new UTA bus

1573
01:06:40,880 --> 01:06:43,599
route there. People getting off in the

1574
01:06:43,599 --> 01:06:45,680
um industrial and work district, but

1575
01:06:45,680 --> 01:06:47,520
also leads to several schools that are

1576
01:06:47,520 --> 01:06:50,079
along this route. They requested um

1577
01:06:50,079 --> 01:06:52,319
$790,000

1578
01:06:52,319 --> 01:06:55,359
and u recommended from the tax for

1579
01:06:55,359 --> 01:06:58,720
$790,000 plus dollars. If you have a

1580
01:06:58,720 --> 01:07:00,240
specific question about these, let me

1581
01:07:00,240 --> 01:07:01,440
know. But I'm going to go through them

1582
01:07:01,440 --> 01:07:03,359
because there's there's quite a few. In

1583
01:07:03,359 --> 01:07:06,319
Ogden, they requested an extension of um

1584
01:07:06,319 --> 01:07:08,559
SR39 shared use path is on the north

1585
01:07:08,559 --> 01:07:10,960
side of the road as you head up into

1586
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,520
Ogden Canyon, not Ogden Canyon itself.

1587
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:16,480
This is phase two of that project. Uh

1588
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:19,280
multi-use path and requested $488,000

1589
01:07:19,280 --> 01:07:21,599
plus dollars and were recommended at

1590
01:07:21,599 --> 01:07:23,359
that amount of money. And I'll talk

1591
01:07:23,359 --> 01:07:25,920
about next steps um here in just a

1592
01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,039
minute. post post recommendation.

1593
01:07:29,039 --> 01:07:31,599
Um, Green Bike in Ogden requested um

1594
01:07:31,599 --> 01:07:34,880
some funds to purchase a van that will

1595
01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:36,640
pick up bikes and distribute them. As

1596
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:38,559
you can imagine, uh during commute

1597
01:07:38,559 --> 01:07:40,640
times, especially there'll be a dock,

1598
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:42,480
let's say at the Front Runner station,

1599
01:07:42,480 --> 01:07:43,680
um where there's a bunch of bikes there

1600
01:07:43,680 --> 01:07:45,200
that people grab and then head to their

1601
01:07:45,200 --> 01:07:46,400
destinations and then all of a sudden

1602
01:07:46,400 --> 01:07:48,880
there's no bikes there anymore and there

1603
01:07:48,880 --> 01:07:50,799
might be um bikes full somewhere else.

1604
01:07:50,799 --> 01:07:52,799
And so this van helps to redistribute

1605
01:07:52,799 --> 01:07:55,280
their system. Right now, I think there

1606
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,960
are redistributing bikes on an actual

1607
01:07:58,960 --> 01:08:00,880
cargo bike and carrying things around so

1608
01:08:00,880 --> 01:08:01,839
they could be a little bit more

1609
01:08:01,839 --> 01:08:04,079
efficient. So, they were recommended for

1610
01:08:04,079 --> 01:08:08,480
funding at just over $92,000.

1611
01:08:08,480 --> 01:08:10,799
Uh, in Clearfield, they have an

1612
01:08:10,799 --> 01:08:13,359
ambitious project to build a bridge um

1613
01:08:13,359 --> 01:08:16,960
over SR 193. There is a high school

1614
01:08:16,960 --> 01:08:19,359
here, junior high, and an elementary

1615
01:08:19,359 --> 01:08:20,960
school. A lot of kids crossing the

1616
01:08:20,960 --> 01:08:23,759
roadway. um really expensive project and

1617
01:08:23,759 --> 01:08:26,159
we mentioned seed money earlier as we

1618
01:08:26,159 --> 01:08:28,400
were talking about uh some things to

1619
01:08:28,400 --> 01:08:30,719
consider and this is very much a seed

1620
01:08:30,719 --> 01:08:33,199
type project of $2 million being

1621
01:08:33,199 --> 01:08:35,520
recommended even though the project cost

1622
01:08:35,520 --> 01:08:38,319
is over 20 million.

1623
01:08:38,319 --> 01:08:40,480
So that was all of the Ogden Leighton

1624
01:08:40,480 --> 01:08:41,920
urban area. Now we'll jump into Salt

1625
01:08:41,920 --> 01:08:45,359
Lake. You can see in the SDP over 121

1626
01:08:45,359 --> 01:08:48,400
million requested um not quite 23

1627
01:08:48,400 --> 01:08:51,359
million to program CMAC over 40 million

1628
01:08:51,359 --> 01:08:54,239
requested just over six to program in

1629
01:08:54,239 --> 01:08:58,239
TAP $ 33 million requested 2.1 to

1630
01:08:58,239 --> 01:09:01,359
program carbon reduction 32 million

1631
01:09:01,359 --> 01:09:04,799
requested uh 2 million uh 2.6 6 million

1632
01:09:04,799 --> 01:09:07,359
to program. So, same story, a lot of

1633
01:09:07,359 --> 01:09:09,920
need um compared to the resources

1634
01:09:09,920 --> 01:09:12,080
available. But projects that were

1635
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,799
recommended in Midvale, this is um

1636
01:09:14,799 --> 01:09:17,040
buffered bike lanes on Bingham Junction

1637
01:09:17,040 --> 01:09:19,359
Boulevard, including um pedestrian

1638
01:09:19,359 --> 01:09:22,560
crossing this location in a busy in uh

1639
01:09:22,560 --> 01:09:24,799
commercial area. Requested just over

1640
01:09:24,799 --> 01:09:27,279
400,000 and were recommended for

1641
01:09:27,279 --> 01:09:29,679
$400,000.

1642
01:09:29,679 --> 01:09:32,239
South Jordan Shields Lane multi-use

1643
01:09:32,239 --> 01:09:34,960
path. This is phase two of this project.

1644
01:09:34,960 --> 01:09:39,359
Um uh was one of the behavs

1645
01:09:39,359 --> 01:09:43,040
uh recognized corridors. Um reconstructs

1646
01:09:43,040 --> 01:09:44,719
or reconfigures the road to add a

1647
01:09:44,719 --> 01:09:48,400
multi-use path on one side uh 12 to 14

1648
01:09:48,400 --> 01:09:51,520
ft and

1649
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,120
um between two programs. This was

1650
01:09:53,120 --> 01:09:55,199
recommended for $4 million out of the

1651
01:09:55,199 --> 01:09:58,320
5.2 million requested.

1652
01:09:58,320 --> 01:10:00,560
Uh West Jordan and Midvail. This is a

1653
01:10:00,560 --> 01:10:03,040
Jordan River bridge crossing. So, a

1654
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:04,880
crossing of the Jordan River uh between

1655
01:10:04,880 --> 01:10:06,880
the two cities. It literally lands in

1656
01:10:06,880 --> 01:10:09,440
both cities. There's a request to tie in

1657
01:10:09,440 --> 01:10:10,960
existing neighborhoods to existing

1658
01:10:10,960 --> 01:10:15,120
parks. Um and 1.2 requested. A million

1659
01:10:15,120 --> 01:10:18,320
dollars is being recommended there

1660
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:21,360
in South Salt Lake City. This is part of

1661
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:23,360
the what we call the gap on the Parley

1662
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:27,520
Trail um along 300 West. ties to the

1663
01:10:27,520 --> 01:10:30,960
existing 300 well close to the 300 west

1664
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:34,080
cycle track in Salt Lake City. Um this

1665
01:10:34,080 --> 01:10:38,159
is uh over $1 million request. Um the

1666
01:10:38,159 --> 01:10:39,760
numbers here are a little skewed because

1667
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:41,679
we did some refining and it's going to

1668
01:10:41,679 --> 01:10:43,040
be more expensive than what was

1669
01:10:43,040 --> 01:10:46,000
originally the original project cost. So

1670
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:47,360
they got a little bit more money based

1671
01:10:47,360 --> 01:10:50,239
on that uh new cost evaluation. So just

1672
01:10:50,239 --> 01:10:53,840
over $1.1 million being recommended

1673
01:10:53,840 --> 01:10:56,480
in Bluffdale. Um if anybody's trying to

1674
01:10:56,480 --> 01:10:58,640
go down in the Bluffdale area, 146

1675
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,080
South, there's a big project going on

1676
01:11:00,080 --> 01:11:03,120
down there. Um but just to the west of

1677
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:06,320
this be some improvements to 146 South

1678
01:11:06,320 --> 01:11:09,920
um after that tunnel is all fixed. And

1679
01:11:09,920 --> 01:11:11,600
for the bike and pet improvements, this

1680
01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:16,480
is uh protected bicycle lanes

1681
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:19,280
along there requesting 1.5 million and

1682
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:23,280
got uh recommended for 1.5 million.

1683
01:11:23,280 --> 01:11:25,280
uh South Salt Lake again Gregsson

1684
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:27,120
neighborhood byway neighborhood byways

1685
01:11:27,120 --> 01:11:30,239
were mentioned earlier in the meeting uh

1686
01:11:30,239 --> 01:11:32,800
connecting to track stations um

1687
01:11:32,800 --> 01:11:34,320
eventually into Salt Lake City's

1688
01:11:34,320 --> 01:11:36,880
neighborhood byway system and Fifth Park

1689
01:11:36,880 --> 01:11:41,120
requested 962,000 received 633 in

1690
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:43,199
recommendations.

1691
01:11:43,199 --> 01:11:46,560
uh Salt Lake City and Green Bike uh

1692
01:11:46,560 --> 01:11:49,760
looking to expand their station areas um

1693
01:11:49,760 --> 01:11:52,880
more coverage, more bikes, uh looking to

1694
01:11:52,880 --> 01:11:56,159
do ebikes as well. And they requested

1695
01:11:56,159 --> 01:11:58,719
over 700,000 and were recommended for

1696
01:11:58,719 --> 01:12:00,800
$400,000.

1697
01:12:00,800 --> 01:12:03,360
And I believe the last project um is in

1698
01:12:03,360 --> 01:12:05,280
Sandy is if you're familiar with the

1699
01:12:05,280 --> 01:12:09,760
Sandy Amphitheater uh there on off SR

1700
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:12,159
209. Originally, they were looking at

1701
01:12:12,159 --> 01:12:16,239
doing um a a hawk crossing of SR 209

1702
01:12:16,239 --> 01:12:18,159
because they have some overflow parking

1703
01:12:18,159 --> 01:12:19,440
to the south side that they've

1704
01:12:19,440 --> 01:12:21,760
contracted with uh the Inter Mountain

1705
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:25,440
Hospital system there. Um but upon

1706
01:12:25,440 --> 01:12:27,280
conversations with UDAT and others, it

1707
01:12:27,280 --> 01:12:28,880
was deemed that the Hawk would actually

1708
01:12:28,880 --> 01:12:31,360
not be um great there, but there's a lot

1709
01:12:31,360 --> 01:12:32,880
of people moving back and forth across

1710
01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,719
the venue and so a tunnel is probably

1711
01:12:34,719 --> 01:12:37,199
more appropriate. So the cost here is

1712
01:12:37,199 --> 01:12:39,280
for their original concept of the hawk,

1713
01:12:39,280 --> 01:12:40,880
but if you do the tunnel, it's more like

1714
01:12:40,880 --> 01:12:44,159
a $5 million project. And after those

1715
01:12:44,159 --> 01:12:45,760
conversations were had is recommended

1716
01:12:45,760 --> 01:12:49,760
that 3.5 million be put towards a tunnel

1717
01:12:49,760 --> 01:12:52,800
uh to the Sandy Amphitheater.

1718
01:12:52,800 --> 01:12:55,760
Oh, last one. Um

1719
01:12:55,760 --> 01:12:58,480
128 South in Riverton, again part of BI

1720
01:12:58,480 --> 01:13:01,520
Bikeways network, um they're requesting

1721
01:13:01,520 --> 01:13:04,159
some funds to install the protected

1722
01:13:04,159 --> 01:13:06,480
bicycle lane, two-way bicycle lanes on

1723
01:13:06,480 --> 01:13:09,600
this stretch of 128 South uh between

1724
01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,920
their parks. And this gets you also to

1725
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:13,280
the Jordan a connection to the Jordan

1726
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:15,040
River, which is pretty great. And they

1727
01:13:15,040 --> 01:13:18,239
requested 976,000 were recommended for

1728
01:13:18,239 --> 01:13:21,679
that amount. So that was a lot. Um but

1729
01:13:21,679 --> 01:13:24,239
again what's being recommended in those

1730
01:13:24,239 --> 01:13:27,280
programs now is the breakdown of TAP

1731
01:13:27,280 --> 01:13:31,679
CAMAC STP and CRP across um the two

1732
01:13:31,679 --> 01:13:35,040
urban areas in WFRC and it is over $15

1733
01:13:35,040 --> 01:13:37,679
million that's been recommended. So um

1734
01:13:37,679 --> 01:13:40,159
quite a shot in the arm um to add on to

1735
01:13:40,159 --> 01:13:42,880
that 73 million plus assuming this all

1736
01:13:42,880 --> 01:13:44,960
moves forward. uh next steps for these

1737
01:13:44,960 --> 01:13:46,159
projects, they'll be considered by the

1738
01:13:46,159 --> 01:13:48,159
transportation coordinating committee.

1739
01:13:48,159 --> 01:13:52,159
Um and then the WC council will release

1740
01:13:52,159 --> 01:13:53,760
the transportation improvement program

1741
01:13:53,760 --> 01:13:55,360
for public comment. There'll be a 30-day

1742
01:13:55,360 --> 01:13:57,760
public comment period in the summer and

1743
01:13:57,760 --> 01:13:59,760
then it'll come back and be approved as

1744
01:13:59,760 --> 01:14:01,040
part of the state transportation

1745
01:14:01,040 --> 01:14:02,560
improvement program. So, still some

1746
01:14:02,560 --> 01:14:04,320
steps to be done, but those are their

1747
01:14:04,320 --> 01:14:07,120
current recommendations.

1748
01:14:07,120 --> 01:14:11,760
Any questions? Sorry, that was a lot.

1749
01:14:11,760 --> 01:14:14,000
Anybody excited about anything that they

1750
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:14,719
saw?

1751
01:14:14,719 --> 01:14:18,239
>> This is Joy. I'll comment here. Um, you

1752
01:14:18,239 --> 01:14:19,520
know, as you look through all these

1753
01:14:19,520 --> 01:14:21,600
projects, I gotta tell you, it's it's

1754
01:14:21,600 --> 01:14:23,920
tough on the cities when you have a, you

1755
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:26,800
know, a $17 million

1756
01:14:26,800 --> 01:14:28,960
uh spend. And yet, you know, every

1757
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:30,800
little bit, even this 2 million for

1758
01:14:30,800 --> 01:14:32,480
Clearfield City, I'm sure, would stand

1759
01:14:32,480 --> 01:14:35,280
out because we are still in the process

1760
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:37,760
of funding our pedestrian bridge for our

1761
01:14:37,760 --> 01:14:39,840
active transportation trail connection.

1762
01:14:39,840 --> 01:14:47,360
So, I guess I'm what I'm saying is you need to start now regardless of what

1763
01:14:47,360 --> 01:14:49,920
your pro how big your project is because

1764
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:53,040
it takes a while to fund them.

1765
01:14:53,040 --> 01:14:55,199
>> Thank you, Mayor.

1766
01:14:55,199 --> 01:14:57,280
Mr. Taco,

1767
01:14:57,280 --> 01:14:59,600
>> I have couple of big questions for

1768
01:14:59,600 --> 01:15:03,830
everybody in here

1769
01:15:03,840 --> 01:15:06,960
and I hope it doesn't offend somebody

1770
01:15:06,960 --> 01:15:13,760
and it may. Um, as your cities and area

1771
01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:16,960
are planning

1772
01:15:16,960 --> 01:15:19,280
developments,

1773
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:22,000
how come there's not as much thought

1774
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:25,679
going into future visions

1775
01:15:25,679 --> 01:15:28,719
of what it should be along with active

1776
01:15:28,719 --> 01:15:30,480
transportation?

1777
01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:31,920
And I have that big question for

1778
01:15:31,920 --> 01:15:34,320
everybody to ask yourselves that as

1779
01:15:34,320 --> 01:15:37,199
you're doing your planning. And I know

1780
01:15:37,199 --> 01:15:39,840
how hard it is to get some people to go

1781
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:44,080
from traditional to futuristic, but we

1782
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,280
might want to be continuing to look at

1783
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:49,760
planning.

1784
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:51,920
I mean, we don't know. I mean, we know

1785
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:54,480
how many kids we've had. We know how

1786
01:15:54,480 --> 01:15:56,480
many grandkids we're going to have

1787
01:15:56,480 --> 01:15:57,920
approximately. I mean, you know,

1788
01:15:57,920 --> 01:15:59,520
generally it's going to continue to

1789
01:15:59,520 --> 01:16:03,199
grow, but why are we not thinking

1790
01:16:03,199 --> 01:16:05,520
more to the future when we're doing

1791
01:16:05,520 --> 01:16:07,280
these planning so we don't have to put

1792
01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:11,520
so much into it now to take care of all

1793
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,000
these problems we now have.

1794
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:17,040
>> In other words, look at the planning for

1795
01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:19,199
the long range instead of just looking

1796
01:16:19,199 --> 01:16:21,600
at currently.

1797
01:16:21,600 --> 01:16:23,440
>> And that's probably a great segue to our

1798
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:26,640
next item if I'm not mistaken. So,

1799
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:29,840
comment. Thank you.

1800
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:32,080
Mayor Walker.

1801
01:16:32,080 --> 01:16:36,239
>> All right, Byron, go ahead. You're next.

1802
01:16:36,239 --> 01:16:40,320
>> Alrighty. Good morning, everyone.

1803
01:16:40,320 --> 01:16:44,000
Uh, I am Byron Head. I'm a community

1804
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:46,000
planner in our community and economic

1805
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:47,600
development group. here to talk to you

1806
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:51,520
today about our most recent round of

1807
01:16:51,520 --> 01:16:53,199
transportation line use connection

1808
01:16:53,199 --> 01:16:55,600
program awards uh specifically those

1809
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:58,719
that relate to active transportation. So

1810
01:16:58,719 --> 01:17:00,800
you're all likely familiar with our TLC

1811
01:17:00,800 --> 01:17:02,719
program. It's kind of become our our

1812
01:17:02,719 --> 01:17:06,320
staple uh uh technical assistance

1813
01:17:06,320 --> 01:17:10,480
program. Um we do this in conjunction in

1814
01:17:10,480 --> 01:17:12,480
partnership with UD do UTA and the

1815
01:17:12,480 --> 01:17:14,159
governor's office of planning and budget

1816
01:17:14,159 --> 01:17:16,800
to support cities as they um work to

1817
01:17:16,800 --> 01:17:18,960
implement the Wasatch Choice vision uh

1818
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:21,440
and create their centers um enhance

1819
01:17:21,440 --> 01:17:23,920
access to opportunities, provide people

1820
01:17:23,920 --> 01:17:26,960
with um real travel options and maximize

1821
01:17:26,960 --> 01:17:30,080
the value of public uh investments.

1822
01:17:30,080 --> 01:17:32,960
Um the kind of range of projects that we

1823
01:17:32,960 --> 01:17:36,960
can do through the TLC program um range

1824
01:17:36,960 --> 01:17:39,920
from very high level 30,000 foot bar

1825
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:42,800
looking um into the future kind of

1826
01:17:42,800 --> 01:17:45,199
general plans and transportation master

1827
01:17:45,199 --> 01:17:47,360
plans and stuff like that uh all the way

1828
01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:49,280
to implementation strategies and

1829
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:51,360
ordinances and things that are much more

1830
01:17:51,360 --> 01:17:54,080
uh focused on the here and now and

1831
01:17:54,080 --> 01:17:57,040
smaller geographic area.

1832
01:17:57,040 --> 01:18:00,400
Um so the program uh as a whole awarded

1833
01:18:00,400 --> 01:18:03,520
15 new projects this year um with a

1834
01:18:03,520 --> 01:18:07,120
total of almost $1.8 million in funds.

1835
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:10,960
Um the active transportation directly

1836
01:18:10,960 --> 01:18:13,040
related projects. uh we have five of

1837
01:18:13,040 --> 01:18:16,480
those with about $640,000 in project

1838
01:18:16,480 --> 01:18:18,400
funds and that doesn't include several

1839
01:18:18,400 --> 01:18:20,080
general plans that we're also going to

1840
01:18:20,080 --> 01:18:22,159
be doing that will certainly have you

1841
01:18:22,159 --> 01:18:24,640
know a a link to active transportation

1842
01:18:24,640 --> 01:18:28,480
but maybe not as a a full focus. Um so

1843
01:18:28,480 --> 01:18:30,719
yeah, active transportation is alive and

1844
01:18:30,719 --> 01:18:33,040
well in the communities uh along the

1845
01:18:33,040 --> 01:18:36,640
Wasatch Front and uh our our AOG area as

1846
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,920
well.

1847
01:18:37,920 --> 01:18:39,920
Um here's the list of the five projects

1848
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,320
we'll be we'll be undertaking. Uh we

1849
01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:44,640
have one in Davis County, two in Salt

1850
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:48,320
Lake County, and two in Weber County.

1851
01:18:48,320 --> 01:18:50,080
And then I'll just briefly go through

1852
01:18:50,080 --> 01:18:53,679
each one of these um for you. Um Davis

1853
01:18:53,679 --> 01:18:55,600
County Regional Trails Wayfinding

1854
01:18:55,600 --> 01:18:58,239
Signage Plan. Um, this is going to be a

1855
01:18:58,239 --> 01:19:01,600
project to look at unifying the signage

1856
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:04,320
and information and and striping and all

1857
01:19:04,320 --> 01:19:07,679
that stuff for three regional trails

1858
01:19:07,679 --> 01:19:09,920
within the county. Those being the DNRG

1859
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:11,920
trail, the Legacy Trail, and the West

1860
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:14,560
Davis Corridor Trail.

1861
01:19:14,560 --> 01:19:16,719
Next up is Draper's uh transportation

1862
01:19:16,719 --> 01:19:18,400
master plan. And don't worry, Mayor

1863
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:20,320
Walker, we will also take care of the

1864
01:19:20,320 --> 01:19:22,640
MAG portion of Draper. We won't leave

1865
01:19:22,640 --> 01:19:24,480
the south side of the mountains out

1866
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:27,920
here. Um, this will incorporate the new

1867
01:19:27,920 --> 01:19:29,440
stationary plans that were recently

1868
01:19:29,440 --> 01:19:31,679
adopted by the city as well as the river

1869
01:19:31,679 --> 01:19:33,600
to range project that we're working on

1870
01:19:33,600 --> 01:19:36,000
finishing up this year. Uh, identify

1871
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:38,239
priority connections and, uh, try to

1872
01:19:38,239 --> 01:19:40,400
anticipate the impacts and needs related

1873
01:19:40,400 --> 01:19:42,480
to the point development and also

1874
01:19:42,480 --> 01:19:44,080
provide the city with an impact fee

1875
01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:48,320
facilities plan. Um, next up is Mil

1876
01:19:48,320 --> 01:19:50,400
Creek. We'll be doing a feasibility

1877
01:19:50,400 --> 01:19:52,400
study to try and find a connection

1878
01:19:52,400 --> 01:19:55,920
across 215 for the city. We have uh you

1879
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:57,120
know kind of the neighborhood behind the

1880
01:19:57,120 --> 01:19:59,360
Canyon Rim Shopping Center and then the

1881
01:19:59,360 --> 01:20:01,600
neighborhood on the west face of the

1882
01:20:01,600 --> 01:20:03,840
like Granger Peak Foothills that there's

1883
01:20:03,840 --> 01:20:05,440
really no good way to connect with those

1884
01:20:05,440 --> 01:20:08,000
right now. And so this is a project to

1885
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:09,600
try and find a way to connect across

1886
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:15,920
this big barrier um made by the highway.

1887
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:17,920
And then up in Weber County, Ogden

1888
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:19,840
Valley, newly incorporated city. Very

1889
01:20:19,840 --> 01:20:22,239
exciting. They're be be doing uh a lot

1890
01:20:22,239 --> 01:20:24,560
of the work that needs to be done to

1891
01:20:24,560 --> 01:20:27,280
create an initial vision for the city uh

1892
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,800
with their general plan and then also

1893
01:20:28,800 --> 01:20:30,560
doing a transportation master plan and

1894
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:32,800
zoning roadmap. So they want to ensure

1895
01:20:32,800 --> 01:20:34,880
that their their land uses are

1896
01:20:34,880 --> 01:20:38,000
strategically located um to again enable

1897
01:20:38,000 --> 01:20:40,080
those transportation choices because

1898
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,199
even if you have a great 10 mile linear

1899
01:20:43,199 --> 01:20:45,120
facility connecting a neighborhood with

1900
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,440
a grocery store, not very many people

1901
01:20:47,440 --> 01:20:49,199
are going to choose to to use that when

1902
01:20:49,199 --> 01:20:51,040
it's going to take you an hour or two to

1903
01:20:51,040 --> 01:20:54,000
get there. Um and then also this plan

1904
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:56,800
will uh or project will ensure that

1905
01:20:56,800 --> 01:20:58,960
existing and planned recreational trail

1906
01:20:58,960 --> 01:21:01,920
networks are connected via uh you know

1907
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:03,679
walking and biking modes so that people

1908
01:21:03,679 --> 01:21:05,679
can get to and from their recreation

1909
01:21:05,679 --> 01:21:07,199
without having to necessarily get in

1910
01:21:07,199 --> 01:21:09,600
their car.

1911
01:21:09,600 --> 01:21:11,679
And then uh our last project is up in

1912
01:21:11,679 --> 01:21:13,600
West Haven. This is kind of a a follow

1913
01:21:13,600 --> 01:21:16,000
on from a project awarded last year

1914
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:17,600
dealing with the city's land use element

1915
01:21:17,600 --> 01:21:19,040
of their general plan. This will be

1916
01:21:19,040 --> 01:21:20,640
their transportation element and

1917
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:23,199
transportation master plan for the city.

1918
01:21:23,199 --> 01:21:25,840
Um they want to again identify some

1919
01:21:25,840 --> 01:21:29,120
priority connections. They'll um include

1920
01:21:29,120 --> 01:21:31,760
a an active transportation element to

1921
01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:33,760
identify what new facilities they need

1922
01:21:33,760 --> 01:21:36,080
as they continue to grow. And then the

1923
01:21:36,080 --> 01:21:37,840
plan will also include some traffic

1924
01:21:37,840 --> 01:21:39,600
calming recommendations to make it a

1925
01:21:39,600 --> 01:21:41,199
more pleasant experience for anyone

1926
01:21:41,199 --> 01:21:44,800
who's out on the roads that is not in a

1927
01:21:44,800 --> 01:21:47,199
car.

1928
01:21:47,199 --> 01:21:51,280
And that is all I have uh for you today.

1929
01:21:51,280 --> 01:21:53,600
I will uh turn back over to Mayor Walker

1930
01:21:53,600 --> 01:21:57,669
if there are any questions.

1931
01:21:57,679 --> 01:21:59,840
» All right. Thank you, Byron. That that's

1932
01:21:59,840 --> 01:22:03,040
great. Great use of the money, too. Um

1933
01:22:03,040 --> 01:22:04,960
item nine is next and it's the preferred

1934
01:22:04,960 --> 01:22:07,600
scenario outline map for review for our

1935
01:22:07,600 --> 01:22:11,360
review and comment with WF sorry WFRC

1936
01:22:11,360 --> 01:22:13,040
will give a brief overview of the public

1937
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:17,120
comment period for the 2027 through 2055

1938
01:22:17,120 --> 01:22:23,110
regional transportation plan. Go ahead.

1939
01:22:23,120 --> 01:22:28,400
» Okay. Um, so our uh preferred scenario

1940
01:22:28,400 --> 01:22:30,560
map is now uh the draft preferred

1941
01:22:30,560 --> 01:22:32,000
scenario map is now available for public

1942
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:34,159
comment. Um, and I can show you here on

1943
01:22:34,159 --> 01:22:36,159
our website how to navigate to that. Um,

1944
01:22:36,159 --> 01:22:37,840
the quickest way probably just to scroll

1945
01:22:37,840 --> 01:22:40,560
down to our news. You'll see right here

1946
01:22:40,560 --> 01:22:41,840
and you can click on that and then

1947
01:22:41,840 --> 01:22:43,920
there's a link. Um, but if you also want

1948
01:22:43,920 --> 01:22:48,480
to go and navigate, um, you can go to

1949
01:22:48,480 --> 01:22:51,199
our regional transportation plan and

1950
01:22:51,199 --> 01:22:54,960
then scroll down to the in progress 2027

1951
01:22:54,960 --> 01:22:58,560
2020 2055 RTP and then from there scroll

1952
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:01,440
down here to review the draft scenario.

1953
01:23:01,440 --> 01:23:03,679
So once you get to that um, page will

1954
01:23:03,679 --> 01:23:05,920
look like this. Um, you can select from

1955
01:23:05,920 --> 01:23:07,440
roadways, transit or active

1956
01:23:07,440 --> 01:23:09,840
transportation projects or all three at

1957
01:23:09,840 --> 01:23:12,000
once. Um, and I'll just show you really

1958
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,480
quickly what the AT map looks like. Um,

1959
01:23:14,480 --> 01:23:16,960
so you can zoom into

1960
01:23:16,960 --> 01:23:20,320
um, a region. Um, you have your line

1961
01:23:20,320 --> 01:23:22,080
projects here, your point projects where

1962
01:23:22,080 --> 01:23:23,760
that's like a grade separated crossing

1963
01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:27,840
or an grade crossing. Um, and then to

1964
01:23:27,840 --> 01:23:29,679
add a comment, you'll come over here to

1965
01:23:29,679 --> 01:23:31,760
the right hand side where it says click

1966
01:23:31,760 --> 01:23:33,760
here to leave a comment. You'll drop a

1967
01:23:33,760 --> 01:23:35,920
little pen here. Um, it could be on an

1968
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:37,280
existing project or maybe there's

1969
01:23:37,280 --> 01:23:39,520
something else that you'd like us to to

1970
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:42,400
know or to point out. Um, enter your

1971
01:23:42,400 --> 01:23:45,520
name, the city you're with. Um, and then

1972
01:23:45,520 --> 01:23:46,639
your comment and then that'll be

1973
01:23:46,639 --> 01:23:49,280
available for us to review. Um, you can

1974
01:23:49,280 --> 01:23:52,480
also change the base map if it's a

1975
01:23:52,480 --> 01:23:54,560
little bit unclear from this one. Um,

1976
01:23:54,560 --> 01:23:56,000
you can come in here and look at, say,

1977
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:58,080
satellite imagery. Um, can maybe help

1978
01:23:58,080 --> 01:23:59,360
contextualize a little better where you

1979
01:23:59,360 --> 01:24:02,639
are on the map. Um, there's some other

1980
01:24:02,639 --> 01:24:04,800
base maps available as well.

1981
01:24:04,800 --> 01:24:06,800
um to maybe make the road facilities

1982
01:24:06,800 --> 01:24:09,360
more clear. Um and then following this

1983
01:24:09,360 --> 01:24:11,199
public comment period between now and

1984
01:24:11,199 --> 01:24:13,760
our fall workshops, we will be um

1985
01:24:13,760 --> 01:24:15,120
looking at how these projects should be

1986
01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,520
phased. So we're looking at uh we're

1987
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:18,960
scoring them against each other based on

1988
01:24:18,960 --> 01:24:20,239
different criteria like how well they

1989
01:24:20,239 --> 01:24:22,560
connect into the regional network um how

1990
01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,719
they improve safety a number of criteria

1991
01:24:24,719 --> 01:24:26,239
scoring those projects against one

1992
01:24:26,239 --> 01:24:27,760
another and then also looking at the

1993
01:24:27,760 --> 01:24:30,480
available funding um and looking at how

1994
01:24:30,480 --> 01:24:31,920
those should be phased into sort of

1995
01:24:31,920 --> 01:24:35,760
decade long buckets. Um yeah any

1996
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:40,470
questions?

1997
01:24:40,480 --> 01:24:42,480
