DISCUSSION – Traffic Calming Update from Public Service Council Member Spadafore mentioned the discussions at the past meetings, and asked for an update from Mr. Kilpatrick. Mr. Kilpatrick confirmed he was aware of the streets where people expressed concern on speeding, but they are not sure if they are actually interested in “traffic calming” mechanisms. Currently a number of those streets have traffic volume and speed surveys, will look at the areas that have gone through traffic calming and find out where things were addressed and not addressed. He did present a map of what they have done so far, and stated he would forward that to Committee. His office will evaluate the study that has been done on traffic calming, parking regulations and priorities which might come back in a budget amendment. Mr. Kilpatrick was asked to provide examples of traffic calming options. Those included were speed humps, which are most cost effective; curb extensions, bump outs, and median islands. Another unique alternative he added was alternate parking within block to block. Council Member Garza asked what the cost of a speed bump would be and what determines if one is needed, and was told it would be roughly $5,000 and the process includes a determination of at least 500 vehicles/day and 85th percentile of 35 mph. These are installed only on straight sections not on curves, nor steep hills over 5% grade. They can also not go on primary or secondary fire routes or major streets. Council Member Garza asked for a study on Deveonshire and Alpha, and was told there was one done, but Mr. Kilpatrick was not sure when it was presented back to the neighborhood for their input on the plan. If the neighborhood approves of a plan, then it goes before the Traffic Board and Public Service Board for final approval. Council Member Spadafore asked if Council could see in the 2020/2021 budget funds for areas, particularly one area a year, which could roughly cost $100,000. Mr. Kilpatrick confirmed it could depend on the Administration’s plan. Council Member Garza asked for speed bump on Ellendale, and Mr. Kilpatrick stated they would have to look at the speed data first. Council Member Spadafore asked about the status of the bike traffic calming that was discussed and confirmed at an earlier Committee meeting, with its initial location of Saginaw. Mr. Kilpatrick acknowledged the discussion and the supply in stock, but stated he would have to check on the status with MDOT since it is their road. OTHER Council Member Spadafore asked for an update from Mr. Kilpatrick on “wheel-free zones” signage in the downtown area. Mr. Kilpatrick stated he would follow up on the status. Council Member Spadafore discussed changing the rental license requirements so that the landlord have to provide trash service as part of the licensing process. The OCA will continue to research and work on an ordinance amendment to address that. Council Member Garza recapped calls he had been getting about the change to trash carts instead of bags. Mr. Kilpatrick asked for Council to find out who at the City is telling the residents it was Council and the Mayor that made the decision because he had spoken to staff about providing the correct information. The request for the change came directly from the  DRAFT CART group. He concluded the explanation by stating there will be a “soft roll out” bi-weekly mid December. DISCUSSION – Capital Area Disability Network AARP Age-Friendly Parks Report Mr. Kilpatrick relayed information from the Parks Director that to address each item in the report would be costly, but they could look at age friendly changes. Council Member Dunbar asked if they have looked into grants, but Mr. Kilpatrick was not able to provide information on that. Council Member Spadafore stated he would speak to Mr. Kaschinske about the long- term ADA compliance items.
