If not, 25 received and filed. Do any Council members  5 1 have any announcements at this time? 2 MR. MCANDREW: I have two quick 3 ones. So this Thursday, the Victor Alfieri 4 over in West Side, all are welcome, dine in or 5 take out. It's their monthly luncheon. It's a 6 week early. 7 It's Thursday, October 23rd, 11:30 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., North Main Avenue. They have 9 polenta or pasta and meatballs or half and 10 half, $12 for members, $14 for nonmembers. 11 Also, in addition to that, this Saturday, 12 October 25th, 4 to 6, Scranton DPW parking lot, 13 the Local 2305 Scranton DPW workers will be 14 having their trunk or treat. 15 It's over at Poplar Street at their 16 headquarters. And then I think they'll have a 17 live DJ, decorations. These DPW workers and 18 their families do a fantastic job with this 19 every year. So it's a good one to hit out of 20 all the trunk and treats. And that is all I 21 have. Thank you. 22 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 23 Anyone else? 24 MR. VOLDENBERG: FOURTH ORDER. 25 CITIZEN PARTICIPATION.  6 1 MR. SMURL: First, John Pocius. 2 MR. POCIUS: John Pocius, resident 3 of Minooka section of Scranton. First of all, 4 I want to say I'm here tonight as a citizen. 5 I'm not here representing anybody except 6 myself, okay? 7 I went to a public meeting at 8 Lackawanna College on this project. And I 9 can't even remember how long ago it was. And 10 the administration said they're going to come 11 back with another public meeting. 12 And if I didn't catch it -- my wife 13 didn't watch it on your Council meeting last 14 week on the caucus, I wouldn't have known. So 15 I come over tonight just to see what I could 16 find out about this. I jotted down some notes. 17 I'm going to try to make some quick comments 18 here. 19 I'm glad to say that for anything 20 like this to happen, it had to have an 21 engineering study. And it appears -- and I 22 can't verify it, but it looked like the city 23 engineer might have did the study that went to 24 PennDOT. 25 I was told it was over 400 pages.  7 1 It's was a pretty extensive report. One thing 2 I did like about the presentation was a lot of 3 this isn't set in stone because it's a trial 4 basis with removing of the signals and 5 different things like that. 6 I know there was a question brought 7 up last week. But all traffic signals are 8 owned by the municipalities in which they are 9 erected in. You have to take out the permit. 10 You're responsible for maintenance and 11 everything else. 12 So I thought there was a question. 13 You do own every signal in Scranton. Ten years 14 ago when I was still the City Engineer, we were 15 involved in a CBG federal downtown traffic 16 signal which updated 48 signals throughout the 17 city. 18 I don't know what transpired since 19 2015 when that project was closed out and today 20 that allows the signals -- some of these to 21 change to stop signs. I heard talks tonight 22 about slower traffic. And these are a couple 23 pages I have out of the MUTCD, which is the 24 Municipal Guide for Traffic Control Devices. 25 And it's highlighted here, are there  8 1 any instances that yield or stop signs should 2 not be used for speed control. So if they are 3 saying stops are going to slow traffic down, 4 that's not something you want to do. 5 And where this is another thing. 6 I'm quoting from the MUTCD. Where traffic 7 control signals are justified, the multiway 8 stop is an interim measure that can be 9 installed and quickly to control while 10 arrangements are being made for installation of 11 traffic signals. 12 It seems like we're reverse of that. 13 We have a signal. We want to take it back out 14 and put stop signs in. Maybe it's warranted in 15 some intersections. The warrants may not be 16 met, you know, so many cars and stuff like 17 that. 18 But I think they have to look at 19 this. My biggest concern on the whole thing 20 looking at this from my experience, is that the 21 bump-outs. If these have full curbing tapering 22 down into the handicap access points across the 23 street, I don't see how large vehicles such as 24 a fire truck is going to be able to make the 25 turn without encroaching on the bump-outs.  9 1 And if they're curbed into the 2 intersection before they drop, I don't know how 3 that's going to work because at the most, 4 they're going to have two 12 foot lanes at the 5 throat. And I don't think that's -- so my 6 question is, did they look at the turning 7 movements for larger vehicles, especially 8 delivery trucks which we do get delivery trucks 9 in the downtown and tractor-trailers in the 10 morning to make deliveries into businesses at 11 an early time. 12 Did they look at in the study 13 it's -- because there was a concern for 14 pedestrians and everyone else, installing those 15 flashing beacons which they have at the 16 university and some of the trail crossings in 17 the city. They're extensively used in the 18 state of Delaware. I've seen them on Route 1 19 throughout the shore points down there. 20 And they are relatively inexpensive 21 and that could be possibly a safeguard if they 22 do go to stop signs that they, you know, 23 somebody could push the button in it. But 24 again, most people don't push the buttons. 25 And I was told a long time ago in  10 1 life that there's only one thing you can't fix 2 in life and that's being stupid, you know what 3 I mean? Everything else can be fixed. But 4 people won't take the time to do it. 5 Two quick comments and I want to get 6 out of here. If they change Penn Avenue to two 7 way, what's going to happen to all that 8 diagonal parking down there? That's going to 9 be a loss of a lot of parking down on Penn 10 Avenue, the 300 block. I think that should be 11 looked at to see if they accounted for that. 12 Because if you go two ways, you 13 can't have -- I was never a big fan of diagonal 14 parking but it got put in. It seems to be 15 working down there. 16 DR. ROTHCHILD: That block is going 17 to be an exception with that remaining one way 18 for the -- because of the diagonal parking. 19 MR. POCIUS: Okay. Thank you. I 20 didn't know that, Dr. Rothchild. Thank you 21 very much. And just another thing too, I was 22 the surveyor of record for when the train 23 station became the first hotel back in the late 24 80s or the late 70s. 25 And the wall we're fixing is  11 1 actually the Radison's wall. So I don't know 2 what they did. There would have to be 3 easements or whatever for that. I don't want 4 to go over my time. I thank you for listening 5 to me. I hope you'll take these comments back 6 to the administration. Any questions? 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, Mr. Pocius, 8 that 2015 study, what was the name of that 9 study? 10 MR. POCIUS: Oh, no, the city 11 received -- PennDOT received 7 million dollars 12 or 6 or 7 million dollars, federal money -- all 13 federal money to rehab all -- replace the 14 traffic signals in downtown Scranton. It got 15 expanded and we went out as far as like on 16 Wyoming Avenue all -- like to Poplar and past 17 Poplar Street and we went out to the next 18 street out. 19 I think it's -- I forget which one 20 it is -- Larch, excuse me. And we went up and 21 did some work on Moosic Street at those signals 22 and everything else. So that project was 23 closed out around 2015. So we -- and there was 24 change orders. 25 And just one more thing just to let  12 1 you know, I've been probably at every vault 2 that's in the City of Scranton down there. And 3 there's still a lot of vaults left. So that's 4 another concern for this project here, okay? 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: Can you send -- can 6 you e-mail us those questions that you just 7 had? 8 MR. POCIUS: Yeah, I'll try to put 9 it together. 10 DR. ROTHCHILD: Can you send them to 11 us? 12 MR. POCIUS: I'm not a good emailer. 13 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. 14 MR. POCIUS: I'm okay with that, 15 okay? 16 DR. ROTHCHILD: Or if you want to 17 give a copy to Miss Carrera. 18 MR. SCHUSTER: Can we pull them from 19 the meeting? 20 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll pull those -- 22 MR. POCIUS: See if it's what I said 23 or something like that if you -- before you 24 send it or whatever? 25 MR. VOLDENBERG: No, need. I'll  13 1 pull them from the transcript. 2 MR. POCIUS: Okay. Thank you. 3 Thank you very much. 4 DR. ROTHCHILD: Okay. Thank you. 5 MR. SMURL: Joan Hodowanitz. 6 MS. HODOWANITZ: Joan Hodowanitz, 7 Scranton. I heard tonight that the 2026 budget 8 will -- the draft will be ready in about 10 9 days or so. I just want to let people know 10 that and ask Frank if we could have a paper 11 copy sent to the Albright Memorial Library and 12 a second copy down to Nancy Kay Holmes so that 13 people can stop by the libraries if they want 14 to exam it. 15 It's much easier to go to the 16 library than it is to try to come into the City 17 Hall to do that. A lot of people for whatever 18 reason prefer to sit down with a paper copy. 19 So when they are ready for prime time, if you 20 could send two copies to the library for the 21 Albright and Nancy Kay Holmes. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: We do provide the 23 Albright. And I'll make sure that Nancy Kay 24 Holmes gets a copy. 25 MS. HODOWANITZ: That's very  14 1 helpful. DPW, do they have a new director yet? 2 MR. SMURL: Do not. 3 MS. HODOWANITZ: Oh, Good grief. 4 Nobody wants to make a buck in this town, okay. 5 MR. KING: I believe they did an 6 interview. I know there were some interviews 7 done. 8 MS. HODOWANITZ: Getting close? 9 MR. KING: I don't know how close, 10 but I'm told there was some interviews. 11 MS. HODOWANITZ: Okay. Well, that's 12 progress. How about progress on DPW union's 13 contract, you know, because it's probably -- 14 pay raises for them are probably not going to 15 be reflected in next year's budget which means 16 that that will have to be retroactively paid. 17 Oh, public service announcement, 18 hopefully people know that Thursday night at 6 19 p.m. at Brennan Hall at the University of 20 Scranton is the debate for the candidates for 21 County Commissioner. And I mention it because 22 what happens in the county, especially with 23 reassessment and taxes it's going to directly 24 impact Scranton. 25 So it would probably behoove people  15 1 who live in Scranton to check in and go to that 2 debate to see who's best qualified to fill that 3 third chair long-term. Although, I hear Brenda 4 Sacco is being sworn in tomorrow as County 5 Commissioner. You can't make this stuff up, I 6 swear. 7 So that's Thursday, October 23rd, 8 6 p.m., Brennan Hall in the Pearn Auditorium. 9 It ought to be interesting. With regard to 10 this streetscape, one thing I want to ask Chief 11 Judge and I didn't have time to do it, I 12 remember hearing last week that one of the -- 13 go ahead and -- I heard last week during the 14 caucus that one of the purposes of the street 15 sign -- or the stop signs was to slow the 16 movement of traffic from block to block. 17 Okay, if that is true, will it not 18 also slow the movement of emergency vehicles 19 from block to block? As it stands now with 20 traffic lights, you can make all the lights 21 going down the road green or red. But if you 22 have stop signs, aren't you going to have to 23 slow down and check both ways block after 24 block? 25 Will that not slow down the response  16 1 time of emergency vehicles as they pass through 2 the downtown or am I crazy? Okay. And I have 3 a question. We still don't have a state 4 budget. And it doesn't look like one is going 5 to be signed within the next couple of days. 6 Has that affected money that we get 7 for the city's pensions, the MMO? Does anybody 8 know or any other money that we get from the 9 state? 10 MR. SMURL: Joan, I don't see -- I 11 wasn't notified of anything affecting us now. 12 But I don't know about the MMOs. I don't know. 13 MS. HODOWANITZ: Yeah, because, you 14 know, I mean -- 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: Mr. Smurl, that 16 money has already been received. It comes from 17 a separate fund. 18 MS. HODOWANITZ: But are there any 19 other buckets of money that are going to be 20 held until the budget is approved because we're 21 on the verge of providing our own draft budget, 22 you know. If it's not one of -- I know it is 23 impacting the county big time. And they are 24 very concerned about that. Okay. That's all I 25 have for tonight. Thank you.  17 1 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Joan. 2 MR. SCHUSTER: That question was 3 asked last week, correct? 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: I believe it was. 5 It's funded by out-of-state insurance 6 companies, a 2 percent fund. 7 MR. SCHUSTER: Can we ask -- I 8 believe I -- I could swear last week I asked -- 9 can we just ask the Business Administrator if 10 there are any funds in the city budget that are 11 affected by the state impasse? 12 MR. VOLDENBERG: That will be 13 affected by it, okay. I will. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. 15 MR. SMURL: Les Spindler. 16 MR. SPINDLER: Good evening, 17 Council, Les Spindler, city resident, 18 homeowner. To piggyback on what Joan said 19 about the fire trucks having or any emergency 20 vehicle having to stop at the stop sign, I 21 remember Fire Chief Judge said last week that 22 he likes changing a one way to two way streets 23 because it will save them time and every second 24 counts in a fire. 25 Well, if every second counts,  18 1 stopping at a stop sign is going -- is not 2 going to help with them getting to the fires 3 faster. I said from day one it's ridiculous 4 putting stop signs in. 5 John Pocius said in a report that he 6 had does not slow down the traffic. We cannot 7 put stop signs in to replace traffic lights. 8 It's ridiculous. And it's -- lives are going 9 to be lost. And if lives are lost, whoever 10 votes to pass this, the blood will be on your 11 hands. 12 And as Joan also said a couple 13 times, they took a study. What did the study 14 do? Did they ask any people that live downtown 15 or anybody that lived in the city if what they 16 thought about this? No, they didn't. But last 17 week Channel 22-28, did a poll if people 18 thought it was a good idea to replace traffic 19 lights with stop signs. 20 85 percent of the people voted it 21 wasn't a good idea, 85 percent. That tells you 22 what the people think of this stupid idea. 23 It's ridiculous and it shouldn't be done. And 24 I'm going to say it again, I think this should 25 be tabled until January when a new Council  19 1 takes place because I know the three of you are 2 just going to do what the Mayor says and you're 3 going to pass it. 4 You don't care what the people say. 5 Like I said, the blood will be on your hands 6 when people are killed. Another thing, they 7 want to put bike lanes in. Bike lanes are 8 going to be on the right-hand side. If I want 9 to make a right turn, how do I know if a bike 10 is coming up along side of me? More injuries 11 or deaths. 12 This study is ridiculous. These 13 people are -- you couldn't -- the two of them 14 couldn't even answer Tom Schuster's questions. 15 They had to debate it for five minutes. They 16 didn't know what the hell he was talking about. 17 It's a -- this whole thing should be scrapped. 18 It's ridiculous. 19 Changing the subject, on Dorothy 20 Street where we had that road subsidence, a few 21 weeks ago I guess the gas company and the water 22 company were there. And they painted lines. 23 And I guess they are going to be working. It 24 was right near where the road subsidence was. 25 Now today I walked by again and it  20 1 was -- was the water company I think paints 2 green lines. It was a green line painted, one 3 arrow pointing towards the road subsidence, 4 another one pointing away from. 5 So it looks like they are eventually 6 going to start working on that. So could 7 Council maybe send a letter to the water 8 company and see when this work is going to get 9 started because pretty soon the bad weather is 10 going to be setting in. They're not going to 11 have time to do it then. 12 They better get going. I guess that 13 means they're going to be digging it up somehow 14 because they wouldn't be painting those lines. 15 All right. That's all I have tonight. Thank 16 you for your time. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Spindler. 18 Bob Bolus. 19 MR. BOLUS: Bob Bolus, Scranton. 20 First off, what I heard here tonight is an 21 absolute joke, a build out, slippery slopes 22 coming off the sidewalk for handicap without 23 ridges or abrasion in the cement, blacktop 24 you're going to put down that gets corroded 25 real fast from salt and everything else that  21 1 you would put on, calcium. 2 But turning radius for a 3 tractor-trailer, how the hell are you going to 4 make a turn here coming down there and trying 5 to figure out how you're going to turn the 6 truck around? It's a simple question for them 7 and they can't answer it. 8 Now with a build out, you're 9 narrowing the road, you're narrowing the 10 radius. And red lights, people go through stop 11 signs just as quick as they're going to go 12 through a damn red light. 13 And you're going to put in bicycle 14 lanes. Down on Wyoming Avenue yesterday, a 15 clown coming the wrong way on Wyoming Avenue on 16 his bicycle. So what good is a lane going to 17 do when you got no common sense? So you could 18 look at a lot of the stuff you want to change, 19 but putting two way traffic and then trying to 20 make a right-hand turn. I had an incident 21 right here in Scranton with a tractor-trailer 22 where an idiot went and passed me on the 23 right-hand side and created an accident. 24 So this is the issues you got to 25 look at. And I didn't hear any of that tonight  22 1 including the fire department with bigger 2 engines and equipment trying to make a turn. 3 All the lights should go red like they do in 4 every other municipalities, so should they for 5 the police car or ambulances and that 6 eliminates this ridiculous thing that we saw 7 here. 8 One thing I'm going say very clear 9 is, you got to worry about people -- handicap 10 going down the slope. I mean, that scared the 11 hell out of me. The tax assessor has been sued 12 by me. 13 So there is not going to be a 14 certification of the tax assessment, not for a 15 long, long time because the commissioners can't 16 do it and I'm stopping it on behalf of the 17 people in this community once and for all 18 instead of being taken advantage by dictators. 19 The city has been -- I'm a lifelong 20 resident here. And when I saw was the kings 21 protest with Cappellini and Gaughan with 22 Cappellini looking like a total, total ass as 23 far as I'm concerned. I was there and listened 24 to him screaming and yelling. 25 That's our flag. And I say our  23 1 flag, not anybody else's flag. That's our flag 2 and you respect that flag. If you were a 3 veteran you wore a uniform. Your president was 4 your president, not a king and they sat here 5 like idiots babbling out there the other day. 6 Why the hell didn't they say 7 something when Joe Biden was the president? 8 Was he a king or was he a queen, what the hell 9 was he? Nobody knows when we changed the 10 street. So for people to stand out here was 11 just a total disgrace. 12 I brought one of my trailers. That 13 was the trailer I used against Harris and 14 Tampon Tim. Pelosi as a centaurian, Harris 15 riding her back, Hillary leading her and Joe 16 Biden kissing her ass. That's what we went 17 through here. 18 And these are the idiots that ran 19 the country beforehand. And you call Trump a 20 king? No, he's the President of the United 21 States. And we had uniforms no matter what 22 president was there and the colonel could back 23 me up. 24 We went to do what we had to do, not 25 stand on street corners like imbiciles out  24 1 here. And that was just totally -- when I see 2 this guy that wants to be Commissioner, 3 Cappellini out there screaming and yelling and 4 every -- like, what the hell are you doing? 5 Gaughan stood there the last time 6 and says he's not there as a commissioner. 7 He's there as a private citizen. But a couple 8 days he had an article that said, oh, if you're 9 a commissioner, you're a commissioner, period, 10 if you're running. 11 Well, I'm asking for his 12 resignation. I'm filing a suit to remove him 13 because either you are or you aren't. Enough 14 of the games against the people in this 15 community. 16 And last off, I am running for Mayor 17 again. I decided. I've spoken with the higher 18 court. They're looking to overturn where I was 19 kept off the ballot by the rogue Charlie Spano 20 who illegally filed to keep me off there. And 21 a judge backed him up. 22 He had to go through the district 23 attorney to do it and he didn't do that. So 24 I'm coming back. And I'm coming back here to 25 kick ass and see it happens. And I want to see  25 1 everybody stand up for the people in this 2 community to make those damn hospitals employee 3 owned once and for all. 4 Everybody including your 5 commissioners, your senators and everybody else 6 on the Democrat party, get the lead out and 7 take care of it and worry about the people. 8 Make them employee owned. Thank you. 9 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Bolus. 10 Lee Morgan. 11 MR. MORGAN: Good evening, Council, 12 Lee Morgan. What I have here today is that the 13 city has an opportunity to spend millions of 14 dollars in grant money. And the Council is 15 going to spend it. And the Mayor is going to 16 spend that money whether it's a good idea or 17 not. 18 And it's really a tragic idea for 19 the city. This project has no merit. But we 20 have to spend the money. We'll come up with a 21 million reasons why we should do that. The 22 Chief of Police, the head of the fire 23 department, the representatives that sat at 24 this table today, either work for the Mayor or 25 their organization is tied to state government  26 1 or city government, not anybody representing 2 the people. 3 Now, when you take a look at their 4 opinions and their ideas, are they flawed or 5 aren't they? I don't think you're capable of 6 making those decisions, not to say that you 7 couldn't figure it out possibly. But this is a 8 complicated issue. And the way the city is 9 now, there were studies done at the time and 10 it's right as it stands. 11 Now, you tried to make the downtown 12 into a neighborhood and it's not. It's a place 13 to conduct business. But since the city is so 14 poorly managed -- and Scranton isn't the only 15 city that's poorly managed. There's a lot of 16 them, okay. 17 But going forward with this project, 18 you just have an opportunity to spend a lot of 19 money and you're going to spend it whether it 20 has any value or not even at the detriment to 21 the residents because they don't really matter. 22 They can't even afford their taxes. 23 You know what we really need in this city is we 24 need a group of elected officials that 25 understand one thing. We have one functioning  27 1 hospital up by Nay Aug Park, okay. We have 2 tons of children coming out of public education 3 that aren't properly educated and aren't ready 4 to go to college, the vast majority of them. 5 So we need remedial education 6 programs because we're going to pass the city 7 onto somebody some day and they're going to 8 have to have the ability to run it. 9 You know, as I watch the city spin 10 after 40 years of coming here, I was thrilled 11 to see John Pocius come here today. You know, 12 I watched him when he was a Council member and 13 the discussions that we had here at that time 14 with Mr. Hazzouri and various other people. 15 They were informed. And they were intelligent. 16 They didn't need the solicitor to 17 tell them anything. They'd tell the solicitor 18 things. We've lost that. We've lost the 19 ability to have a mayor that can run the city. 20 And when you take a look at the 21 Hilltop project, we have a former mayor 22 involved in that project. We're still taking 23 yard signs down. That was his number one 24 thing. Chris Doherty was great at doing that. 25 Take a look at who brought the city  28 1 to its knees, Chris Doherty did. He sued the 2 public -- he sued the unions in the city. He 3 didn't care how much money it cost, bankrupted 4 the city, built the parking garages. We're 5 sitting here today talking about more slots. 6 We need to sell that Parking 7 Authority assets off completely and get out of 8 the parking business and get rid of the 9 authority and go like this and just wipe our 10 hands of that. 11 The one last thing I have here is, 12 you know, I made a video about the Lookout. 13 Maybe somebody watched it and they decided that 14 they're going to fix it. Well, you know, when 15 you do that project, you need not hire a large 16 company to do that project. 17 You need to hire somebody that knows 18 what they're doing that's a stonemason. You 19 need three guys to do that project. And the 20 person who mixes the mortar's got to know what 21 they're doing so that that project will be 22 there for 85 more years. 23 And not only that, how you place 24 them stones and where they're at. They're 25 probably thrown over the Lookout. Somebody's  29 1 got to collect them. And they may have to take 2 that wall apart and reassemble it. So we need 3 to not go to can we spend a ton of money. 4 We have to hire somebody that knows 5 what they're doing, knows how to make the 6 mortar, knows how to put the wall back together 7 again because I think that wall was built by 8 the WPA or the WPC. 9 And those people knew what they were 10 doing back in that time because they built a 11 lot of structures with stone, okay, and just 12 going half assed and doing it is just a 13 complete disgrace to something as important to 14 this city's history as that Lookout is. Thank 15 you. 16 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Morgan. 17 Ron Ellman. 18 MR. ELLMAN: Good evening, Council. 19 I wish I could speak to you all like Bob Lesh 20 did in 2018, if you remember that episode. 21 Firstly, Mr. King, in leaving the Council, I 22 know you have the legalities on your side. But 23 your shameful biassed support for Cognetti's 24 heinous intentions downtown you -- this -- you 25 people are trying to -- the three of you to  30 1 obligate the city ramrodding this walkability 2 nonsense as soon as possible. 3 There is not a reason in the world 4 it can't be done after elections except, you 5 know, it would fail in a vote. But then 6 there's a possibility three of you might not 7 return. You know how elections go. 8 I find it so hard to believe that 9 Chief Carroll sits here advocating this 10 walkability nonsense, the removal of gas paying 11 automobiles for completely illegal use of the 12 roads for EVs that aren't insured, inspected or 13 licensed. 14 There is no -- no telling how old 15 the people are driving them, what -- it's just 16 complete lunacy to consider this at this time, 17 27 million dollars for nothing except enhanced 18 downtown, a bunch of lousy tax cheats 19 complaining all the time about -- as little as 20 they pay, like, reassessment. I wonder how 21 many of them reassessed the little taxes they 22 had. 23 You know several years ago, I don't 24 remember when 10, 12 years ago, a poor soul was 25 killed in front of Boscov's on that  31 1 intersection. I stood right here and said when 2 I grew up in Memphis, they had a system -- the 3 lights were red, nobody moved. 4 And the other lane the lights were 5 red, nobody moved. Then for a minute or so 6 nobody could drive anywhere, turn or anything 7 and people would run all over the place. It's 8 accident -- there's no accidents that way. 9 There is no problem. 10 There is no $240,000 for some clown 11 to con the city out of more money. It's just 12 such a waste that you're talking about, 13 concrete and paint costing 27 million dollars 14 needlessly. 15 I know -- I guess I sort of what you 16 say on the streets using the term loosely like 17 Mr. Little knows what I'm talking about, the 18 people you meet and talk to. I haven't -- I 19 just haven't heard nobody say anything 20 favorable. 21 It doesn't matter Republican, 22 Democrat, independent, there's nobody -- just 23 like it was said last week, if it's not broke, 24 don't fix it. Cognetti is a failure. Don't 25 vote for failure. Please, I know it's needless  32 1 for me to ask you, but don't let this go 2 through now and obligate our city to 27 million 3 dollars in nonsense like this. Thank you. 4 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Ellman. 5 Krysten Xanthis. 6 MS. XANTHIS: Good evening, Council. 7 I'm here just to state an opinion. I don't 8 know if many of you walk the downtown -- 9 throughout most of downtown. I do. I'm sure 10 many other people do, probably other people in 11 this room probably have. 12 But I care for a lady. I'm an aide 13 to a lady that is in Delaware Towers. She 14 likes to go out like most people. She's 86 15 years old. But she never uses a walker or 16 she's stuck in a wheelchair if she's out if 17 it's for a long period of time. 18 Trying to push a wheelchair when 19 there's a stop sign across the road is very 20 hard because I have done it on the parts where 21 there's no streetlights. 22 So if you could imagine what it's 23 going to be like if they want to take out all 24 the lights to put more stop signs in, it will 25 be a lot worse. I mean, I don't understand,  33 1 you know, if it -- I know I probably stated 2 these words before, but it's been this way for 3 how long with these streetlights. Now all of a 4 sudden, it seems they want to change it which 5 doesn't make sense. 6 Onto the other point, I don't know 7 if either of you know that Green Ridge Street 8 and Dickson Avenue, there is a bus sign that's 9 at the corner there just before it gets up to 10 the light at Green Ridge Street. 11 Trying to get off the bus, stand 12 there and across the way there's a stop sign on 13 the opposite side where the Dickson -- where 14 you come off Dickson. Well, as you cross, if a 15 car lets you cross that's on that side where 16 you're trying to cross, the car that's turning 17 where the stop sign is, they don't stop. 18 They'll try to keep going as you're 19 crossing. So, you know, I mean, try the 20 streetlights downtown, you press the button, 21 the button turns, says to walk and cars go. So 22 try to imagine what it's going to be like with 23 stop signs everywhere throughout town. 24 I mean, maybe somebody could look 25 into stop signs for or a streetlight for Green  34 1 Ridge Street where the buses let off, but they 2 all tell me that is state road. But I just 3 want everyone to know that it's not going to be 4 very pleasant. I think maybe everybody should 5 walk down there a few times before this is 6 done. Thank you. 7 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Evan 8 Xanthis. 9 MS. XANTHIS: Good evening, Council. 10 My name is Evan Xanthis. I live on Dickson 11 Avenue. First of all, I want to thank you, Mr. 12 McAndrew. He put a 15 mile an hour sign in 13 front of my house. Then they came weeks later 14 and put in the road, slow school. 15 But I could count on one hand how 16 many people pay attention to the sign. It's 17 pathetic. We have two schools in one block, 18 two senior homes in one block. Yesterday after 19 school there was a collision at the four-way 20 stop sign on Delaware and Dickson. 21 There could have been a child there 22 crossing. I'm worried about these kids, some 23 of them are handicapped, some of them blind, 24 some of them have wheelchairs. Then we have 25 the kids from the school who kids will be kids.  35 1 They start hitting each other. They punch each 2 other. They go into the road. On Dickson 3 Avenue it should be a one-way street. 4 1700 block of Dickson Avenue has 5 CHOP Out Hunger across the street which brings 6 in tractor-trailers twice a week for food for 7 underprivileged children. Try to go up Dickson 8 Avenue. There's tractor-tractors, Blue Ribbon 9 Ice Cream delivery to the school. 10 And then up the street we have 11 Center For Independent Living. Next door to me 12 I have a senior building, across the street I 13 have a senior building. They're all coming 14 out. That street is ridiculous. It's a narrow 15 road. Something has to be done. 16 So yesterday after the accident, a 17 half hour later we start the ATV races on 18 Dickson Avenue. Is that a law against that? I 19 mean, that's ridiculous. 20 Okay. This has nothing to do with 21 this. But I want to thank Mr. King for 22 sticking up for the Scranton School District 23 weeks ago. My children both graduated the 24 Scranton School District. My daughter works 25 very hard as a home health aide.  36 1 She also works for her union. She's 2 a union worker. My son is in his third year of 3 residency at Temple University Hospital. He 4 worked at three different hospitals for the 5 last two years. He is going -- he's worked I 6 think approximately 12 years to become this 7 doctor, which now the government isn't funding 8 research. 9 So things are slowing down, which I 10 am just proud of my kids. We grad -- I 11 graduated from Scranton School. They are great 12 schools. My son went to the Schreyer's Honor 13 College. He graduated from there at Penn State 14 University. 15 He got scholarships for Temple. He 16 went to Concordia University in Montreal. He 17 graduated and Penn State, Temple Med School. 18 I'm sorry, but I don't like people criticizing 19 the Scranton School District. 20 My children grew up in the library. 21 I was working and my mom would take them to the 22 Childrens Library this big, and they would 23 spend their summer there going there every day. 24 As they grew up, they went to the library. 25 They both became quite educated. I don't know.  37 1 I don't see a bad education in the public 2 school district. 3 I think people should go more to the 4 public school districts. You learn a lot. I 5 can't criticize anybody. I want to thank Frank 6 for putting up with me when I call about 7 Dickson Avenue. I'm very sorry. But I worry 8 about the kids. 9 Mr. McAndrew, if you could do 10 anything, I don't know if there's a thing they 11 could put -- like my son was in. He said, why 12 don't they put one of those things that tells 13 you how fast you're going because nobody goes 14 15 miles an hour on that street. 15 MR. MCANDREW: Mr. Voldenberg, will 16 you please request a traffic study? 17 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. 18 MS. XANTHIS: And that's why the 19 four-way stop sign, not a good idea. It 20 doesn't do anything. Nobody stops. I was 21 waiting for Colts bus with my daughter. I saw 22 two people. I was shocked. They actually 23 stopped. I was going to give them an award. 24 Anyway, thank you very much. 25 MR. SMURL: Thank you. John Thomas.  38 1 MR. THOMAS: John Thomas, Scranton. 2 I don't come every week to speak. As you know 3 when you heard me in the past I'm a terrible 4 speaker. I'm just not a good public speaker so 5 bear with me. I agree with what Evan was 6 talking about and her daughter about Dickson 7 Avenue. 8 And we've been here several times as 9 you know in the past. Really take a good look 10 at it, you know, traffic study, just the 1700 11 block. And as far as the stop signs, that's 12 not a good idea. You know, down Lackawanna 13 Avenue, Mulberry Street, the lights -- make 14 sure the current lights are working properly. 15 And if they are not, you get new 16 lights. And the thing -- I can't name all the 17 streets, but Lackawanna Avenue and particularly 18 Mulberry Street, obviously you got to have 19 lights there. If you could make it, you go for 20 a couple blocks it will stay green. 21 Where as some of -- a lot of streets 22 like on Wyoming Avenue if you go the street, 23 you come to a -- you get a green light and you 24 come and the next block, red, you know what I'm 25 saying? There's no coordination in the lights.  39 1 Something like that could be done, people look 2 at that. 3 As far as Saturday, they had the all 4 kings rally. I don't like talk about the 5 federal government here. This is not federal 6 government business. I don't agree with the 7 title no kings. It's no dictator. 8 This man sitting in the oval office 9 as of today, is an authoritarian. He rolls out 10 the red carpet for Putin, a dictator. Nobody 11 says anything. He's telling Republican 12 Senators and Congressmen not to talk to the 13 Democrats. He don't believe in legislation. 14 I don't think he knows -- 15 understands legislation. And, you know, it's a 16 terrible situation. The Affordable Care Act, 17 they might get rid of it now. They have to 18 give the tax credits. And, you know, an awful 19 lot of people -- people who have money, they 20 are not going to be able to afford their health 21 insurance because premiums are going to go 22 skyrocket. 23 And you got to comment on Mr. Bolus. 24 He had his trailer there this past Saturday. 25 And I spoke about this last November. He had  40 1 that same trailer just before the election last 2 year. I was there Saturday. 3 You know, something ought to be 4 done. It's not -- that's not political. It's 5 disgusting. The things that are on that 6 trailer are disgusting. It's profanity is what 7 it was. 8 And I know Council and I know the 9 Mayor and the administration -- I know 10 nothing's going to be done about it. And that 11 goes for anybody, not just the one person. 12 Something like that is just terrible. All 13 right. Thank you for your time, Council. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Thomas. 15 MR. FOX: Good evening, Council. I 16 was here two weeks ago about a sidewalk on 7th 17 Avenue that my special needs son fell in. And 18 it ended up he sprained his knee. He pulled a 19 ligament. They said they were going to send 20 DPW down there to look at it. 21 And I go by there every day, 22 sometimes a couple of times a day. I see 23 nobody, you know, looking at it let alone walk 24 it. And then I was also told you don't know if 25 the city owns it or privately owned. It's two  41 1 weeks. 2 I'm not hearing nothing. I got a 3 phone number. I called the phone number, 4 voicemail. I leave a message. I leave my 5 e-mail. Nobody is getting in touch with me. 6 And again, when you're talking about 7 these -- which I didn't know now until tonight, 8 these bike tracks or whatever, again, if it's 9 not broke, don't fix it. You got money to do 10 this, but where is the money to fix these 11 sidewalks where a special needs child is 12 falling and tearing his leg up. 13 So I was just hoping that, like, if 14 somebody could get in touch with me. I mean, 15 two weeks, I mean, it's not 1925. It's 2025. 16 It's not like you have to go look through a 17 steel file cabinet. This should be on computer 18 who owns that sidewalk. So I'll appreciate if 19 somebody -- 20 MR. KING: Where is it, 7th Avenue 21 and where? 22 MR. FOX: Right around the corner. 23 It's, like, across from that credit union down 24 from I believe it's a Ukrainian church. 25 MR. KING: Oh, okay.  42 1 MR. FOX: Yeah. 2 MR. SMURL: Mr. Voldenberg, can you 3 find out -- 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: That was submitted 5 to Code Enforcement. I'll follow up and see 6 where they're at on that. 7 MR. FOX: Yeah, cuz that's what I 8 got two weeks ago. And then when I called here 9 about the status, I get a voicemail. I leave 10 my name, my phone number, my e-mail. Two weeks 11 and, like, nobody knows who owns this. Thank 12 you for your time. Appreciate it. 13 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Mark 14 Margavitch. Mr. Voldenberg, can you find out, 15 look on our map just see if we can figure out 16 who owns it if it is city owned. I don't 17 believe it is city owned. 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: They have that 19 information. I'll followup and get a status. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: And the reason why 22 he's not getting a return call from them. 23 MR. SMURL: Okay. 24 MR. MARGAVITCH: Good evening, 25 Council. Mr. Smurl, at the South Side meeting  43 1 recently this past Wednesday, you made a 2 comment and said we desperately need to do 3 something with the hospital which is hopefully 4 coming soon. I was just wondering, can you 5 clarify what hospital are were alluding to at 6 that meeting? 7 MR. SMURL: Which hospital I was 8 speaking of? 9 MR. MARGAVITCH: Yeah, which 10 hospital -- 11 MR. SMURL: That one was -- that 12 night it was Geisinger was the hospital. 13 MR. MARGAVITCH: Okay. Is there 14 anything going on with the parking garage 15 coming back? 16 MR. SMURL: I'm sorry? 17 MR. MARGAVITCH: The parking garage 18 was voted on at one time and voted down. 19 MR. SMURL: Correct. 20 MR. MARGAVITCH: Is it involving the 21 parking garage by chance or no? 22 MR. SMURL: There was supposed to be 23 a whole new project, whether it's coming out or 24 not, I don't know. 25 MR. MARGAVITCH: Okay. Okay, next,  44 1 I want to talk about an issue that seems like 2 it's not getting the attention it should. In a 3 recent Council election -- and this was the 4 most previous one, a candidate was accused of 5 collecting forged signatures on the petition to 6 get on the ballot for the primary. 7 And this individual was charged and 8 was still allowed to be -- run in the general 9 which I couldn't understand. But in our city, 10 we certainly have had our fair share of 11 corruption and lack of integrity. 12 And I do have a question for, 13 Mr. Smurl, again as to why that -- the 14 withdrawal did happen and switch parties to an 15 independent. I read the article in the 16 Times-Tribune dated March 17th from Jeff 17 Horvath. 18 And I do have some additional 19 questions. Now, you quoted -- it quoted you 20 Mr. Smurl as follows: 21 "It came to my attention over the 22 weekend that some of my campaign people got a 23 bit overzealous and actually got the signatures 24 that were not verified." 25 I was wondering if you could tell me  45 1 how did you become aware of this? 2 MR. SMURL: I don't remember. I'll 3 have to think about it. 4 MR. MARGAVITCH: I guess my question 5 to everyone would be, if somebody robbed a bank 6 and they returned the money six days later, 7 should they still be charged with robbery? And 8 I ask that because, Mr. Smurl, do you believe 9 you broke the election laws by submitting an 10 affidavit that was false? 11 MR. SMURL: I'm sorry, what did you 12 say? 13 MR. MARGAVITCH: I said, do you 14 believe you broke the election laws by 15 submitting an affidavit that was false and that 16 was regarding the signatures -- 17 MR. SMURL: If I had known at the 18 time it was false, of course. 19 MR. MARGAVITCH: But my point was, 20 do you know how long you had submitted that? 21 MR. SMURL: I don't remember. 22 MR. MARGAVITCH: It was March 11th 23 and it took until March 18th or 17th, one or 24 the other. I'm sorry, I don't have the date 25 down where you actually withdrew. I think it  46 1 was the 17th. That was article from Jeff 2 Horvath. 3 And I just was -- you know, I do 4 think it's a big deal. I don't think the 5 intention was malice. But I do think it's a 6 big deal because there's other candidates that 7 they did follow all the rules. And, you know, 8 I feel like it's a loophole that you were able 9 to switch as an independent because the, you 10 know, the rules weren't followed and 11 unfortunately, it was an affidavit. 12 Are you aware of anyone who may have 13 contacted you or signed your petition that had 14 contact from law enforcement looking into that? 15 Are you aware of anyone that would have signed 16 or yourself that had any investigation done 17 from law enforcement? 18 MR. SMURL: I don't know what you 19 are saying. 20 MR. MARGAVITCH: With this -- the 21 affidavit, it was -- on the back of the 22 petitions when you have the signatures, you 23 have the person who passes the petition around. 24 And then as a candidate, I believe we sign for 25 the expenses and we sign to make sure that  47 1 everything is accurate. 2 So you have a person who passes the 3 petition around. They have them witness all 4 the signatures. 5 MR. SMURL: Correct. 6 MR. MARGAVITCH: So I was wondering 7 if anyone on your petition was contacted that 8 signed it from any type of law enforcement that 9 you're aware of or if you were contacted? 10 MR. SMURL: Oh, I believe a lot of 11 people were contacted. 12 MR. MARGAVITCH: Okay. Well, I 13 mean, I really want this to be clean up and 14 I'll end by this. Your campaign slogan is 15 actions speak louder than words. To me, 16 submitting that affidavit incorrectly is a lack 17 of respect to the campaign rules. 18 I don't believe we should have a 19 loophole switching parties and not admitting 20 the serious error in the filing of the false 21 affidavit. To me, it speaks volumes. And I'm 22 just a little shocked that more people aren't 23 talking about it. That's all. Thank you. 24 MR. SMURL: Sorry I'm not perfect 25 like you, pal. Thank you. Leslie Collins.  48 1 MS. COLLINS: Good evening, Council. 2 I'm Leslie Collins. I am the President and CEO 3 of Scranton Tomorrow. And I am here this 4 evening to voice Scranton Tomorrow's support 5 for the City of Scranton's downtown streetscape 6 project. 7 For those of you who don't know, 8 back in 2018 Scranton Tomorrow hosted a public 9 forum. And we contracted with urban planner -- 10 a renowned urban planner Jeff Speck. And we 11 brought him here to really share national best 12 practices for issues such as walkability and 13 newer and updated urban design strategies. 14 The forum was held at the University 15 of Scranton and was a standing room only 16 discussion. And that was a clear indicator to 17 us that stakeholders within the community did 18 have an interest in urban design and most 19 definitely in walkability. 20 And there were significant amount of 21 questions that were posed to Jeff about best 22 practices and areas that he compared to 23 Scranton and how -- what the outcomes of those 24 were. 25 So it was an in-depth discussion and  49 1 we did follow up the following day with a 2 breakfast with Jeff that continued that 3 conversation. So our interest in the city's 4 plan is relevant. 5 And since the time that we did have 6 this forum with Jeff and numerous discussions, 7 the city has brought Jeff back to the area, I 8 believe twice at two public forums that were 9 very well attended at Lackawanna College. 10 They have continued to do in-depth 11 assessment of the downtown district. And I do 12 believe that they have assembled a team of 13 professional engineers that worked in 14 conjunction with the Pennsylvania Department of 15 Transportation. 16 And I think that piece is really 17 significant in the plan because that means that 18 it is up to the standards of the Commonwealth. 19 Also, we believe that that pairing between the 20 professional teams really brings a plan that is 21 grounded in best practices. 22 And it's looking at outdated 23 infrastructure and challenging traffic 24 patterns. And I think that coming from a 25 perspective of Scranton Tomorrow where we work  50 1 every day in the downtown district, we would 2 say that two very, very important elements for 3 us are the outdated infrastructure and those 4 challenging traffic patterns. 5 And we do hear from the downtown 6 businesses specifically developers often on 7 those challenges. So we are encouraged that 8 this plan addresses those issues. From a staff 9 perspective, I can tell you that as we are in 10 the district on a daily basis, we see cars 11 travelling at high rates of speed and merely 12 using the downtown streets as a passthrough 13 verus them really at a speed where they could 14 take in and visualize all of the great assets 15 that the downtown has. 16 And that is an important fact that 17 we have heard from the downtown businesses that 18 they would like to see, you know, traffic 19 calmed in some manner so that their business 20 really can be, you know, visualized in a better 21 manner with slower traffic. 22 We do observe cars going down one 23 way streets on a daily basis. Our office is on 24 Linden Street. And it's a daily occurrence 25 where we have two -- one to two cars, three  51 1 cars. We have had multiple conversations with 2 police officers and they've done a wonderful 3 job of doing everything they can to stop that. 4 But it is still a daily occurrence. 5 And we also have witnessed on numerous 6 occasions pedestrians crossing with a walk 7 signal giving them the go ahead to cross the 8 street while at the same time vehicles have the 9 green light and which creates a, obviously, a 10 dangerous conflict between pedestrian and 11 vehicle. 12 What we value greatly in this plan 13 is that it details both existing challenges and 14 what we see as emerging opportunities. It 15 focuses on issues that we have heard throughout 16 our years in the downtown which are pedestrian 17 walkability, the safety issue between vehicle 18 versus pedestrian, traffic calming measures, 19 and how do we assist them in improving the 20 visibility of their small business, so all very 21 relevant elements. 22 I should mention I did come in late 23 to caucus. I came in at the tail end of a 24 conversation about outreach to the businesses. 25 I do want to mention that we were not charged  52 1 with outreach to the businesses. 2 However, we have had conversations 3 with businesses that have relayed concerns to 4 us throughout, you know, recent times and we're 5 hoping that the plan would address after, you 6 know, a really fine detailed review of the 7 plan. 8 We did go back to the Ritz Theater 9 who had a concern in the past about the bump 10 outs and how that impedes their business. So 11 we did go back and relay the information from 12 the plan regarding the bump outs for what would 13 be proposed in their area. 14 And we also did have in depth 15 conversations with Downtown Deli who has 16 throughout, you know, recent times had concerns 17 with the water runoff on the corner of Penn and 18 Biden as well as traffic calming and turning on 19 one way -- turning on one-way streets the wrong 20 way. 21 So we did have those two 22 conversations. I just did want to bring that 23 to light. But those were the two that we have 24 had. We have not received any phone calls 25 regarding the plan. And I think that should be  53 1 noted. 2 In the past we have had discussions 3 regarding parking and had a lot of 4 conversations. Which is -- just real 5 quickly if I -- just real quickly if I could 6 just say that do we anticipate that there will 7 be, you know, an adjustment period to the plan, 8 yes, certainly we do. 9 I think that we would all expect 10 that there would be some adjustments. But 11 listening to caucus this evening, it appeared 12 as though the engineers and the city seemed to 13 feel that there would be a response time to any 14 of those concerns. 15 So I do thank you for your time and 16 I would appreciate review of the plan and 17 hopefully your support. 18 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 19 MR. SCHUSTER: Miss Collins, so the 20 list we got, this is a list from the city. 21 It's not from Scranton Tomorrow. 22 MS. COLLINS: That is not from 23 Scranton Tomorrow, no. And I do know we did 24 have conversations with the city and they did 25 let us know that they were doing outreach.  54 1 But when we saw certain elements in 2 the plan that we knew had been discussed with 3 us from businesses and were concerns and hopes 4 that they would be included in the plan, we did 5 that reach out. 6 MR. SCHUSTER: Yeah, some of the 7 things that were discussed in the plan, the 8 vaults under some of the fronts of the 9 businesses on their sidewalks, the water that 10 sits at Downtown Deli, things like that, I 11 mean, these are things -- this is you talk 12 about aging infrastructure and also the 13 challenge in traffic patterns, this is the 14 aging infrastructure. 15 Some of the things that I find that 16 I disagree with the plan are the traffic 17 lights. So when we talk about Downtown Deli, 18 I'm fully in agreement that they need something 19 fixed, places like Osaka and in front of say 20 DaVinci's where those vaults are, that needs to 21 be fixed, some of the bump outs, curbs, 22 stormwater, and things like that downtown. 23 So some of these businesses aren't 24 really affected by the streetlights per se, 25 but they're going to gain some improvements to  55 1 their aging infrastructure around their 2 businesses. 3 MS. COLLINS: Correct. But like I 4 said, I did not speak with that list of 5 businesses. But there are support letters from 6 the two businesses that we did discuss it with 7 because we knew that those were concerns 8 specifically of theirs. 9 MR. SCHUSTER: All right. Thank 10 you. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Rik Little. 12 MR. LITTLE: Hello, Scranton, Rik 13 Little. How much does it cost to speak an 14 extra, like, three minutes in the five minute 15 thing? Is there a way to do that? 16 MR. SMURL: There's a way to do it. 17 If you are representing multiple businesses in 18 downtown Scranton and you have been doing that 19 for many, many years I will clear this -- you 20 will stop. 21 MR. LITTLE: I can't hear you. 22 MR. SMURL: I said if you represent 23 multiple businesses -- that's what Scranton 24 Tomorrow is all about is to deal with our 25 downtown businesses and help them grow.  56 1 So if somebody that represents them 2 and wishes to come here and speak, I will allow 3 it. That's my decision. 4 MR. LITTLE: If I get multiple 5 businesses -- 6 MR. SMURL: If you are going to 7 represent them, yes. 8 MR. LITTLE: And I could get three 9 extra minutes. 10 MR. SMURL: You're on your time. 11 MR. LITTLE: Oh, I'm on my time. 12 MR. SMURL: Yes, you are. 13 MR. LITTLE: Well, I don't think 14 that's fair for government. 15 MR. SMURL: Well, it's not your 16 decision. 17 MR. LITTLE: It should be a separate 18 meeting, I think. But I'm running for a job of 19 Mayor. And I think things have to get better 20 around here the way the government works, 21 especially the municipal government. Everybody 22 seems to have forgot about the municipal 23 government. 24 They don't even take into account 25 what the municipal part of it is. I mean, the  57 1 Scranton YMCA is in Dunmore. The Scranton 2 Housing Authority is run by Lackawanna County. 3 Nothing is Scranton's anymore. And the job I'm 4 going for, what do they do? 5 Well, they appoint the commissioners 6 for the Scranton Housing Authority and for code 7 enforcement, the police department, the fire 8 department to enforce laws. But the laws are 9 plastic. They're elastic. They're changing 10 all the time. 11 This thing about the streets is 12 crazy, crazy. Just -- they always come at you, 13 all the media and all the discussions about 14 health and safety. I thought we solved that. 15 You know, I've lived here for 20 years watching 16 them go through three different parking meter 17 systems and this -- making it a two-way street 18 from a person who has broken my wrists three 19 times in the 20 years I've been here tripping 20 on the cracks and the sidewalk falling down, 21 breaking both my wrists. 22 That happened three times. And, you 23 know, and then I go into the system here. The 24 system, healthcare system. I broke my leg in 25 2017. That is the day I started growing my  58 1 beard and I'm living in Scranton Housing 2 Authority. 3 And I'm watching the social workers 4 and everybody close in on me. They gave me 5 50,000 things of Vitamin D, which was helping 6 me. And then I get up Abington Manor which is 7 an old folks home. I totally understand that 8 the elderly abuse that they talk about, 9 especially during Covid. 10 But there has to be -- people just 11 don't know what's going on. As I said at the 12 so-called debate, I wasn't even debating 13 anybody. They didn't even set it up that way. 14 We don't even have a League of Women Voters 15 anymore. 16 But, you know, we're all lost souls 17 living in a fishbowl year after year. Reading 18 the Times-Tribune, like, what is reality in 19 this town because the other day this no kings, 20 no kings is about King George. And the only 21 really no kings thing that I see going on is 22 the Bar Associations, Bar stands for British 23 Accredited Registry. That is one-third of our 24 constitutional government. 25 They're not even teaching it in  59 1 schools anymore. All they're teaching is 2 cultural Marxism where everybody is a victim of 3 an oppressor. And I guess the oppressor is -- 4 you know, the other days it was like the 5 oppressor is billionaires and Donald Trump. 6 And these were paid protesters. 7 They all left at the same time to catch a bus. 8 We need a chance in Scranton to give the people 9 a voice -- a voice. So I'm hoping people vote 10 for me for Mayor because the only thing that 11 happened at the debate, they're arguing about 12 lawsuits that happened years ago. 13 There's a lot of lawsuits going on. 14 There's too much problem with the judiciary 15 getting involved in all of this stuff and them 16 fooling people that the people are represented 17 by -- by, you know, Lackawanna Pro Bono or 18 Northeast Penn Legal. 19 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Little. 20 MR. LITTLE: Yeah, okay. Well -- is 21 this happening next week too? 22 MR. SMURL: Pardon me? 23 MR. LITTLE: Are you here next week? 24 MR. SMURL: Yes. 25 MR. LITTLE: Okay.  60 1 MR. SMURL: Gus Fahey. 2 MR. FAHEY: Good evening, Council. 3 Thanks for having me speak. I'm Gus Fahey from 4 Scranton. I'm very much in favor of the 5 downtown connectivity study. I think we're far 6 overdue for a sort of refresh, a look at what 7 our downtown uses are for. 8 From what I understand, Joe Corcoran 9 told me that the reason that the downtown 10 streets are organized the way they are is 11 because of the Globe Store. Globe Store wanted 12 people going, you know, zipping right down to 13 their store and getting sort of stuck downtown. 14 So to me, that means that there's 15 sort of high time to take a good look at what 16 the city needs now and in the future. And so I 17 thought it was very insightful for Wayne Evans 18 to bring in Jeff Speck, to bring in a renown 19 urbanist to take a look at Scranton and to see, 20 like, what kind of insights that he could bring 21 to make downtown more vibrant, to make downtown 22 more liveable, to make downtown more safe for 23 pedestrians. And so I think that really helped 24 a lot of us -- 25 MR. SMURL: Please. Sorry, Mr.  61 1 Fahey. 2 MR. FAHEY: -- who are thinking 3 about these issues, that are interested in 4 these issues because you did bring a lot of 5 things that are counterintuitive at first, you 6 know, to -- that makes it safer to have stop 7 signs rather than lights for certain streets to 8 have certain kind of level of traffic volume. 9 And so it's counterintuitive -- it 10 was counterintuitive insight to share that it 11 was from a national expert that he brought to 12 us. So I think that really sort of helped some 13 of us that were thinking about these kinds of 14 issues. 15 And I think in particular downtown, 16 one of the things that Jeff Speck said is that 17 there are so many more people that want to live 18 in walkable places than there are that actually 19 live in walkable places. So most of us live -- 20 most of the country lives in places where it's 21 really very car centric. 22 But Scranton is different because we 23 were designed to be really neighborhood 24 specifically. You could sort of walk to 25 everything that you needed from a church, to  62 1 the store, to the school. They were all sort 2 of centered in your neighborhood. 3 So I think we're really in a very 4 good position to take advantage of these new 5 populations that are moving into Scranton. And 6 especially in the downtown where you have 7 retirees that are looking for just low 8 maintenance. 9 They want to live in condo. They 10 don't want to have to deal with a yard and all 11 of that. And they want to be able to walk 12 around the downtown businesses. And then young 13 people that are moving in, they really want to 14 live in a place where there's not required for 15 them to necessarily have a car. 16 And so we want to attract those 17 populations as well. And so I think designing 18 a downtown that sort of responds to their needs 19 would put us in a better position for growth. 20 And I think we also need to be prepared for the 21 train coming because that also -- I think our 22 downtown really should be prepared to deal with 23 potential new growth that's coming from that as 24 well. 25 So not only do I think that it's  63 1 warranted to make our streets two ways to make 2 sure you could go around the courthouse, to 3 make it easier to get around and to make it 4 safer to get around. But I also think that 5 some of that logic could be extended into the 6 neighborhoods as well. 7 So I think that young people, 8 especially are looking for places where they 9 can bike around. And if we make it safer for 10 biking, then I think we'll have more growth in 11 our neighborhoods as well. So if you could get 12 to the downtown from the neighborhoods, you 13 don't necessarily -- have to live in the, you 14 know, higher rent districts of the downtown, 15 you could still sort of make it down there 16 without having a car or without a family having 17 an additional car. 18 Part of the reason that I am so 19 enamored with sort of walkable places is that 20 if you don't have a car payment or if you don't 21 have an additional car payment for your family, 22 you're halfway to affording a new mortgage. 23 You're half way to being able to buy a home in 24 your family in your place of residence in your 25 community.  64 1 So I think like saving money and 2 making a walkable place, I think that responds 3 to not only the populations that we're trying 4 to attract now. But when we think into the 5 future and maybe people that aren't necessarily 6 represented here, but younger people are really 7 looking for places that are more walkable and 8 bikable and safe and they could really sort of 9 get around. So that is why I would encourage 10 you to adopt the plan. Thanks. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Fahey. 12 That is it for our sign-in sheet. Anybody else 13 wish to address Council? 14 MS. KOLOSKY: Good evening. I will 15 be very fast. I have one thing to say, whether 16 we have stop signs or whether we have red 17 lights. We shouldn't be looking at the 18 businesses as we're driving by. We should be 19 looking at the roads so we don't hit anybody or 20 go in the back end of some other vehicle. 21 Okay, that's the end of that. 22 Now, the only other thing I want to 23 quickly ask is if anybody found out anything 24 more about the code blue thing that when I 25 mentioned it last week I believe somebody said  65 1 that they were going to see if they could find 2 out anything when I asked if I should be going 3 to the county. 4 DR. ROTHCHILD: The question about 5 the temperature. 6 MS. KOLOSKY: Yes, about raising it. 7 DR. ROTHCHILD: I did bring it up at 8 the last unsheltered task force meeting that I 9 attended. And that's a discussion I think they 10 were open to to see if that's something that 11 needs to be changed. I know that they had 12 mentioned that the Fire Chief, it's usually his 13 discretion as to when they open the code blue. 14 Like, he keeps an eye on the weather 15 and then we'll take that into account whether 16 it's a lot of expected snow or windchill 17 factors that are dipping. So he's the one that 18 ends up making the call as to when the Code 19 Blue Shelter opens. 20 MS. KOLOSKY: The Fire Chief makes 21 that call. 22 DR. ROTHCHILD: Um hum. 23 MS. KOLOSKY: Who's the Fire Chief? 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: Chief Judge, John 25 Judge.  66 1 MS. KOLOSKY: John Judge. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes. 3 MS. KOLOSKY: Okay. Thank you. 4 DR. ROTHCHILD: It's something that 5 they can consider but -- 6 MS. KOLOSKY: So he's the person I 7 have to harass. 8 DR. ROTHCHILD: But in the past, 9 they have gone by the standards of the county. 10 But that is when the county had some more 11 resources like a code blue themselves -- 12 MS. KOLOSKY: Okay. So it's the 13 county -- 14 DR. ROTHCHILD: But -- 15 MS. KOLOSKY: It's the county and 16 the Fire Chief then? 17 DR. ROTHCHILD: The county has had 18 their own standards in the past. And so I 19 think that 20 degree number that it came from 20 that. But the city has our own, like, we could 21 make it at our own discretion if we feel it 22 needs to be higher than that. 23 MS. KOLOSKY: So it's basically the 24 Fire Chief. 25 DR. ROTHCHILD: Yes.  67 1 MS. KOLOSKY: Okay. Thank you. 2 DR. ROTHCHILD: Thank you. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Doris. 4 Anyone else? 5 MR. COYNE: Tom Coyne, Minooka. The 6 Mayor put out a video for the Recovery Act 7 stating that she had a bunch of meetings and 8 stakeholders before the Recovery Act. 9 I did a right to know on that 10 meeting. I asked who the stakeholders were, 11 who was at the meetings. There were no 12 records. There were no stakeholders. 13 Obviously it was just the Mayor's group 14 deciding what they wanted to and calling their 15 own group stakeholders. 16 I'm sick and tired of hearing 17 stakeholders over citizens. Why are the 18 citizens that you represent not the 19 stakeholders in this city? Businesses come and 20 go. Residents are here hopefully for a 21 lifetime. But sadly that's not the case 22 because we do not listen to our citizens. 23 We listen to stakeholders. Like 24 our charity for the shelter, pack up and leave 25 after they collect the money. Now, when I come  68 1 to an intersection that's two -- two of them 2 are one ways, each car has a straight option 3 and a turn option. 4 Total options in that intersection 5 are four possible moves, straight turn and 6 straight turn. Now, if I come to an all way, 7 each intersection has three options, center, 8 left and right. Each cover or 12 possible 9 turns. 10 Which is safer, a pedestrian that 11 has to watch four possible turns or a 12 pedestrian that has to watch 12 possible turns? 13 Is 12 less than 4? Is splitting your attention 14 between 12 easier than splitting between 4? 15 Moving on, stop signs in the plan 16 once they are down they can't go up. So just 17 like the Nay Aug Park slide, what I expect is 18 thieves in the night they'll be removed and 19 someone will go oops, but we can't replace it 20 after it's done. 21 We have seen that action beforehand 22 where they come and rip stuff out, destroy it, 23 and then there's no going back. 24 I see the same play happening with 25 these lights. You think the stop signs will  69 1 have calm and are safer. I have questions for 2 you then. Say you have two people like 3 Mr. King racing to catch a light, but at the 4 light they must stop. 5 At a stop sign they'll get mad and 6 stalling at each stop sign and they'll tap the 7 brakes and go through. They'll get just as 8 aggravated. They'll pull up quick. Hit the 9 brakes, pull through. It won't slow them up. 10 A stop light at least has a chance to slow them 11 up for two minutes. 12 A stop sign has a chance for them to 13 stop and tap the brake and go through because 14 they want to get where they're going just like 15 rushing through to beat a light. You think 16 stop signs are safer and calmer. 17 Are you ready to tell Scranton's 18 children on Halloween if they have the option 19 to cross at a red light or cross at a four-way 20 stop sign they should go and stop -- they 21 should go and cross at a four-way stop sign 22 because they'll be safer crossing at the 23 four-way stop sign than a light. 24 I remember growing up I was told to 25 cross at the green and not in between because  70 1 streetlights were safer. If that is not the 2 case, we need to reeducate our children to 3 cross at stop signs, especially on Halloween 4 for the safety of the children. 5 Now, let's talk about it from a 6 driver's position. I'm making a right-hand 7 turn, bike lane is the left. I then look right 8 to the traffic coming. I check again, left, 9 right. And then as I start to make the turn, I 10 look left opposite of that walk because I'm 11 looking to see if any traffic is coming down to 12 go through the light at me or is coming from 13 straight head to cut into my lane. 14 So at that point where I go I'm 15 turning this way, I look this way, check it, 16 that way, check it, back again. Look at the 17 traffic, look for pedestrians, look at the 18 traffic as I'm turning. My attention is not on 19 the people crossing because I'm looking 20 opposite of the people as I'm making that curb. 21 That's how you do it when you're 22 making those turns. And stop signs don't even 23 give you that option. I think it's a bad idea. 24 We're in the cusp of an election. And we need 25 to not buy a dog and pony show. Listen to the  71 1 citizens' feedback because it's important. 2 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 3 MR. ARGENTA: Good evening, Council, 4 Virgil Argenta, Scranton. Mr. Smurl, last week 5 you were asked by a resident if you were going 6 to vote yes regarding the issue with the 7 downtown streetscape lights and stop signs. 8 You said yes. 9 That's very concerning that your 10 mind is made up before the public has had a 11 chance to weigh in and the Council has 12 thoroughly discussed it. Now, Mr. Pocius, 13 former city engineer brought up some valid 14 questions and concerns. 15 Doesn't your yes predetermine, 16 undermine the democratic process and disregard 17 the input of your constituents? How can you 18 ensure that all voices are heard and considered 19 if you have already made up your mind? This is 20 not the type of representation that we need in 21 the city right now. 22 Regarding the board members, a few 23 weeks ago there was 62 board members, give or 24 take who failed to submit their required 25 financial statement. It raises concerns about  72 1 accountability and ethics. 2 Do you have a number of how many 3 complied, Mr. Smurl, and how many didn't 4 comply? 5 MR. SMURL: Mr. Voldenberg, did we 6 send that to the Law Department? 7 MR. VOLDENBERG: We did. We 8 supplied them with the list. 9 MR. ARGENTA: What's the outcome for 10 these members who are not in compliance and 11 thumb their nose? They know when they were 12 going to get on the board that they need to 13 have the financial statements? What are they 14 hiding? When will they be removed from their 15 board seats? They're in clear violation, also 16 an ethics violation. 17 Recently, another board who abruptly 18 departed an elected seat due to rumored 19 wrongdoing in investigations, do you believe 20 it's in the best interest of our community for 21 this individual to hold a position on one of 22 our city boards considering the importance from 23 ethics and integrity and public service? 24 We all know who this person is. It 25 might be time we get a better handle on our  73 1 city boards. Regarding the other issue with 2 the police lateral programs, you voted on that. 3 Do we have any information on how that is going 4 to take effect? Do we have any guidelines or 5 anything that we could pass onto anybody for 6 that lateral program for the police department? 7 MR. SMURL: Well, I suppose we could 8 ask the Chief. Mr. Voldenberg, if that's 9 immediately implement or -- 10 MR. ARGENTA: I think that's 11 important being that we're down, you know, many 12 officers that it was a hurry up rush deal that 13 we pass this through just like we're doing here 14 with the streetscape. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will. I'll ask 16 that question tomorrow. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. 18 MR. MANCINI: It's a two-page 19 handout, Mrs. Carrera. Thank you. Good 20 evening, Council, Scranton city residents, Mike 21 Mancini, Scranton. Honesty and integrity 22 speak volumes when you are an elected official. 23 Tonight the mayoral debate from last 24 Thursday and the removal of 15 traffic light 25 intersections downtown, the words you choose  74 1 define who you are. Your character follows you 2 just like your shadow. We witness quite the 3 character flaw by the face of our city. 4 Paige Cognetti told our citizens and 5 voters that our city is safe. That was a lie. 6 Council members, in front of you and will be 7 posted to my Facebook page is a breakdown from 8 the beginning of 2020, ending 2024. These are 9 the same crime statistics provided by the city 10 to the state. 11 They could be found on Google by 12 typing PAUCRS in the search bar. From 2020 13 through 2024, 10,072 have been charged with a 14 crime with only 19,081 arrested; 14 murders, 19 15 arrests; 378 rapes, only 22 arrested; 145 16 robberies, 22 arrest; 1,241 aggravated 17 assaults, 435 arrests; 2,995 simple assaults, 18 1,044 arrests; 799 burglaries, 91 arrests; 19 4,100 larceny thefts, 319 arrests; 324 motor 20 vehicle thefts, 13 arrests; 76 arsons, 15 21 arrests. Do these numbers sound safe to you? 22 20 percent were arrested in five 23 years. Numbers do not lie. Paige Cognetti 24 does. 8,091 charged remain unprocessed. How 25 many warrants is that? There is no warrants  75 1 departments to pick up these individuals, 356 2 rapes in five years for victims without 3 justice. 4 And Paige may even read these 5 numbers because I too know the feeling of the 6 word impact. What kind of impact has Paige 7 caused? This is one of so many things that 8 we've allowed an outsider to change. 9 Restructuring our amazing police department has 10 caused these incidents without justice. 11 As you look through these numbers, 12 think of every individual who did not ask to be 13 impacted or violated. I would like each of you 14 after the remainder of my five minutes tell 15 your city what you think looking at these 16 numbers. Do you think it's been safer in the 17 last five years? I would like the Chair of 18 Public Safety to start this discussion. 19 Mr. McAndrew, you see the future in 20 our city daily with your students and your 21 grandchildren. You speak from the heart. You 22 see things for what they truly are. The other 23 four chairs need to strive to become like you. 24 On behalf of those impacted or 25 violated, how many warrants are outstanding?  76 1 Do we have a warrants department? What's the 2 oldest warrant? What's the process? Why do we 3 have over 900 warrants that are not processed? 4 The face of the place has an extra set of doors 5 downstairs as if she doesn't feel safe. 6 To her citizens, after hearing these 7 numbers, do you feel safe? Now, let's talk 8 about safety in a different manner, removing 15 9 traffic light intersections and replacing them 10 downtown without -- with stop signs is not a 11 good plan. I do like the rest of it. 12 Traffic lights cost 550,000 an 13 intersection. These traffic lights need to 14 remain. Here's why. Traffic lights are 15 generally safer for pedestrians and cyclists 16 because they provide a clear designated time to 17 cross. 18 Crashes at traffic lights are less 19 likely to be fatal compared to those at stop 20 signs. The risk of serious accidents at stop 21 sign controlled intersection is because drivers 22 may run a stop sign or not come to a complete 23 stop. These are called accidents because they 24 happen. 25 Changing the 15 intersections will  77 1 cause a serious risk down and impact businesses 2 that already notice changes because of the 3 meter changes. 8.25 million to replace these 4 intersections. Once this part of the 5 streetscape plan fails, there's greater risk to 6 those downtown if this plan passes in its 7 current form. 8 You heard this evening about safety 9 and the risks that the face who wants out of 10 this place has provided to each of her 11 citizens. Do not risk your future on an 12 outsider. Two days today -- I'm sorry, two 13 weeks today, your future depends on you. Vote 14 for character, not failure. God bless our 15 Scranton Police Department. Good evening, 16 Council. 17 MR. SMURL: Thank you. Anyone else? 18 MR. VOLDENBERG: FIFTH ORDER. 5-A. 19 MOTIONS. 20 MR. SMURL: Mr. King, do you have 21 any motions or comments? 22 MR. KING: A comment, can we, Mr. 23 Voldenberg, just send a question over to the 24 Chief -- Chief Judge concerning the bump outs 25 handling turns by buses, fire trucks,  78 1 tractor-trailers as was mentioned this evening? 2 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 3 MR. KING: And also ask him if he 4 feels as though it would -- with stop signs it 5 would slow response time for the fire trucks. 6 The one thing I do like about the study is that 7 there's going to be 90 days. 8 So like once it's implemented, we're 9 going to have 90 days to figure out, okay, in 10 all the engineering studies they've done, it 11 appeared as though -- well, that's how we came 12 up with the plan. Not all intersections are 13 switching to stop signs. Some are. 14 You know, the study leaves lights 15 where they are safer and where it makes sense 16 and it puts in stop signs where it's safer and 17 where it makes sense. So, you know, I want to 18 be able to allow the opportunity for this plan 19 to be implemented and see what changes need to 20 be made after 30, 60, 90 days because, you 21 know, at the end of the day, I drive a lot. 22 I drive a ton. And I know. I see 23 people when the lights are starting to turn 24 yellow if they think they could make it, 25 they're hitting the gas. They're not hitting  79 1 the brake. And faster cars cause greater 2 damage than slower vehicles that stop at stop 3 signs. So that's just kind of all I have to 4 say about that. Thank you. 5 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 6 Mr. Schuster, do you have any motions or 7 comments? 8 MR. KING: If I could mention too 9 just really quickly -- I apologize. You know, 10 we say that the red lights are safer, I mean, a 11 year or two ago, maybe two and a half, three 12 years ago someone was killed right at this 13 corner here at Mulberry Street and North 14 Washington. 15 And we had someone killed at the 16 corner of North Washington and Linden Street. 17 And somebody mentioned 2018 someone was killed 18 at Lackawanna and Wyoming Avenue. You know, 19 all corners with lights and, you know, there is 20 never going to be a perfect solution that, you 21 know, we have to say. 22 And, you know, do people run stop 23 signs, yeah, they absolutely do. Do they run 24 red lights, yes, they absolutely do. I like 25 the idea of slowing. I believe that it will  80 1 slow traffic down. I won't be going through 2 town once those stop signs are put up downtown 3 to get to Clarks Summit. I will tell you that. 4 I'll go around 81 and do what we 5 have to do. That's why on highways, they have 6 loops around cities, you know, whatever, if 7 it's 84 -- not 84, but down around Washington, 8 DC, they have loops that go around so that they 9 are not flying through the downtown areas. So 10 that's what I believe. That's all. Thank you. 11 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. King. 12 MR. KING: Appreciate it. 13 MR. SMURL: Sorry, Mr. Schuster. 14 MR. SCHUSTER: No, it's all right. 15 All right. I will -- I'll speak -- Mr. Pocius 16 came in and he asked several questions. Mr. 17 Voldenberg, I believe you are going to take a 18 look at the video and get those -- extrapolate 19 those questions out of what he had said and 20 take a look at it. 21 Mr. King asked about bump outs and 22 whether our fire trucks and larger vehicles 23 could make those turns. I did ask that 24 question last week to Mr. Judge. And he said 25 that they base those designs off of the turning  81 1 radius on some of our fire department trucks. 2 But I would like to see what the answer comes 3 back as. 4 Sometimes it comes back different. 5 Today there was a hearing for 1405 Cherry 6 Street. I do know that the individual, the 7 Defendant didn't show up for the hearing today. 8 So can we just ask the Law Department what are 9 the city's next steps when it comes to this? 10 Maybe it was shut down by the zoning 11 board back in April. They're continuing to 12 operate. But if we could see what is the city 13 going to do as its next steps regarding this 14 business. 15 MR. VOLDENBERG: I will, sir. 16 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you. I also 17 got a message on the way over here about seeing 18 if we could get the street sweeper over to the 19 16 and 1700 block of Wyoming Avenue. I do 20 believe there's some construction and road work 21 being done over there. 22 MR. VOLDENBERG: I'll request that. 23 MR. SCHUSTER: Thank you very much. 24 I'll just touch on this. Leslie Collins was 25 here tonight. She gave us two, you know, two  82 1 things, aging infrastructure and challenging 2 roadways or traffic patterns downtown. 3 I do agree with a lot of this 4 proposal, especially aging infrastructure. A 5 lot of these business -- and I do agree with 6 these businesses. I'm not disagreeing with 7 these businesses. There is aging 8 infrastructure around their business. 9 And they -- I mean, it's time to 10 improve it. So on that aspect of this, I do 11 agree with it. I could reach out to the 12 Business Administrator. I could meet with her 13 and see who else on this team is willing to 14 meet coming up. 15 What I asked last week is just for 16 us to slow this down, get input. There's been 17 several times that we moved forward with 18 things. And we haven't got all the input. And 19 we get feedback from the citizenry after it's 20 passed. I could think of at least three things 21 that we've done this with. 22 In the last week or so I've knocked 23 on many doors. I spoke to many residents. And 24 I've only had one that's been in agreement 25 other than some that came tonight and spoke  83 1 tonight and some of the letters that we got. 2 And some of those letters we got, I 3 know these individuals. And I know why they 4 would be for this project. And again, it's 5 aging infrastructure. Looking at courthouse 6 square, I don't like the removal of those 7 street lights in and around that area. 8 When it comes to courthouse square, 9 there's only businesses on one side of the 10 road. If there was businesses on both sides of 11 the road where cars could park and come at 12 businesses from different angles, I'm in 13 agreement with this. But at this point in time 14 it's only the courthouse that's there. 15 And at this point, there is parking 16 on both sides of the road. So there are access 17 to all of these businesses. So let's see where 18 this goes. Again tonight, I'll ask that we 19 just pump the brakes on this and make sure 20 we're getting all the input that we need. 21 A lot of the people and even 22 businesses on this list that I spoke to in the 23 last few days were unaware of this project was 24 even happening. So the word still isn't out 25 that this is occurring and many people are  84 1 unaware of it. That's all for tonight, Mr. 2 Smurl. 3 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. Schuster. 4 Dr. Rothchild, do you have any motions or 5 comments? 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: Just a couple with 7 regard to the walkability study and the 8 legislation tonight that we're considering and 9 based off of a lot of comments that we've 10 received, I know there was a question about 11 whether or not Council members have walked 12 downtown. 13 I walk downtown all the time. I 14 frequent a lot of businesses downtown, 15 restaurants, coffee shops. I love coming 16 downtown. And I even with getting the list of 17 intersections that would have potential 18 changes, since then I've driven and walked 19 downtown through many of those intersections to 20 just picture it for myself as to what it would 21 look and feel like with those changes. 22 And I know that there are many of 23 those intersections that I could see changing 24 to stop signs from the signals that don't have 25 as much traffic and that I personally would  85 1 still feel safe and in crossing if there are 2 stop signs. 3 I think a lot of people act like 4 they've never crossed an intersection with a 5 four way stop before either by driving or 6 walking. And I know I do it all the time. I 7 have even in my neighborhood. And I live near, 8 like, nearby a pretty busy intersection with a 9 four way stop. 10 And I've crossed there with my dogs, 11 with my children. And I've even asked my four 12 year old if she knows how to cross an 13 intersection with a four way stop and she was 14 able to articulate to me what you would do when 15 you get to that -- to that intersection and 16 stopping making sure any vehicles that are 17 coming are also stopping before you cross. 18 And even, you know, us frequently, 19 like, giving the waive off to the driver so you 20 know that they say see and making eye contact. 21 Things like that are important and most of us 22 have learned that when you are a pedestrian and 23 walking. 24 And I have been to other cities too 25 where in the city there are intersections that  86 1 are four way stop. Philadelphia being one of 2 them where I've walked around quite a bit and 3 haven't really come into those issues. 4 So I, you know, I do see it as being 5 a change for people. But I also think in our 6 minds it's -- and the way that it's been 7 portrayed it's as if all of downtown is going 8 to be changing from lights to four way stops 9 which is not the case. 10 It's just at these intersections 11 where they found that it's warranted. So, you 12 know, I think it's worth a shot. It's 13 something that we've been told we can reverse 14 if there are intersections that we find should 15 not be a four way stop and should, in fact, be 16 a signal. 17 And that might be maybe there's 18 traffic backing up somewhere along the line 19 they need to still keep the signal there. So, 20 I mean, I do feel more comfortable with that 21 being an option and not necessarily being 22 permanent. And that's all that I have to add 23 to that for now. Thank you. 24 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Dr. 25 Rothchild. Mr. McAndrew, do you have any  87 1 motions or comments? 2 MR. MCANDREW: Yeah, I might as well 3 speak to caucus tonight and what occurred. 4 First of all, before that, I'm thrilled that 5 Mr. Pocius came here, right, okay, he said he's 6 speaking as a citizen or resident. But he was 7 also the former City Engineer. 8 So I take that as a second opinion. 9 Why not? We relied on his expertise in the 10 past. I'm thrilled he chimed in, you know, and 11 he brings a different perspective that he's not 12 in favor of changing the traffic lights to four 13 way stops. So I appreciate his expertise and 14 opinion, helps reenforce mine. I'm thrilled he 15 was here. 16 Also, so this is the second caucus 17 that the engineer and some administration came 18 tonight. And I'm still confused. First of 19 all, I said, okay, they admitted they only had 20 two meetings, which is fine. And, you know, 21 Council was invited. 22 Well, we get invited to a lot of 23 meetings and studies where these groups 24 present. But most of the time they are during 25 the day when we're working. Let's face it. Or  88 1 I get invited to the meeting a day before or an 2 hour before. 3 So it's not fair to say you were 4 invited. There was only two in the past two 5 years where I would have brought up these 6 concerns. But in addition, so the past two 7 weeks, you know, like stated tonight, okay, we 8 have to change the stop signs. It's safer. 9 It's safer. 10 Data says that it's safer and all 11 the research we did states that it's safer. 12 But we're going to do a trial. But in the same 13 breath prior to that statement, the City 14 Engineer says, well, you know, if you want to 15 change this -- if you vote against this, this 16 might not pass because we have to go back to 17 PennDOT with the permits. 18 And it's all permit related. And 19 it's based on years of information versus 20 criteria that's different now. So I'm finding 21 it hard to believe that there is wiggle room 22 for some of the businesses and associations 23 that are supposedly in contact that they could 24 address their concerns moving forward. 25 It doesn't look like that to me.  89 1 Like I said earlier, the decisions were made 2 two years ago. I don't see the wiggle room 3 because in one breath they say we'll take in 4 consideration, there's ongoing discussion. But 5 you want to make some changes, it affects the 6 criteria and the permits that took so long to 7 get we might not be able to get. 8 So I'm still confused with all this. 9 I don't like being confused. Or I don't want 10 to say misled, but the information every week 11 changes a little bit. And so I'll speak more 12 to on the question, but that's where I stand 13 with this. And I still -- they haven't changed 14 my mind yet or convinced me otherwise. 15 In addition to that, I just want to 16 report out. So September 2nd I got a response 17 from the city administration. This is 18 regarding Meridian Avenue and Luzerne Street 19 and Railroad Avenue and Luzerne Street about 20 the turning lanes being repainted. 21 So -- and so I finally got an answer 22 that makes sense. So parts of Luzerne Street 23 are on the 2025 pave list. However, the 24 section at Luzerne and Railroad is not on the 25 paving list.  90 1 So now they are going to take a look 2 at it and pave the crosswalks. They're going 3 to prioritize this because I brought this up, 4 like, three or four times. But they said 5 previous attempts to complete this work, I 6 didn't know they were even going to attempt to 7 complete because I didn't get a response, you 8 know, they state that it was interrupted by 9 weather. 10 So I hope before, you know, we get 11 the obvious weather coming that this gets 12 completed. So I'm taking them on their word 13 for that. And that is all I have. 14 MR. SMURL: Thank you, Mr. McAndrew. 15 Earlier tonight Chief Judge was saying how it 16 speeds up response time. But it wasn't -- what 17 he was speaking about if going through downtown 18 if you had to go, say, to somewhere across from 19 the courthouse, a restaurant on Adams Avenue, 20 when the fire department goes out they have to 21 turn left, go up Mulberry, turn left on 22 Washington, go down another block, turn right 23 on Biden, then go up another block and turn 24 left on Adams. 25 You go six blocks to get to a block  91 1 that you're a block and a half away if the 2 roads are two ways. That's what he was 3 talking about speeding up, not changing traffic 4 lights and stuff. And that is what that was 5 all about. So I wanted to straighten that out. 6 Also, today PennDOT was back up at 7 the Harrison Avenue bridge. And they did seal 8 all of the cracks -- all of the surface cracks 9 that were visible. They also did it last year. 10 They said they would continue doing it as long 11 as they were cracking. 12 And also, our budget, administration 13 said the budget is completed -- almost 14 complete. And we should have it by the end of 15 the month. My last meeting with the budget is 16 actually tomorrow afternoon with the 17 administration. 18 So I hope that it's -- it stays at 19 no tax increase and that we get it by the 30th. 20 That's it, Mr. Voldenberg. 21 MR.

READING BY TITLE - FILE OF THE 5 COUNCIL NO. 97, 2025 - AN ORDINANCE - 6 INSTALLING ALL-WAY STOPS IN CERTAIN DOWNTOWN 7 INTERSECTIONS FOR ADDED PEDESTRIAN SAFETY. 8 MR. SMURL: You've heard reading by 9 title of Item 6-A. What is your pleasure? 10 MR. KING: Mr. Chairman, I move that 11 Item 6-A pass reading by title. 12 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 13 MR. SMURL: On the question? 14 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, this 15 is installing of the all way stops. As I said, 16 I spoke to many people over the last few days. 17 I hope that this could slow up somewhat. I'm 18 going to vote no to 6-A tonight rather than 19 make that motion to table and we'll get it to 20 Seventh Order and we'll see where we go from 21 there. 22 But I would like to get some more 23 input from the city businesses. I'd like to 24 get some more input from individuals in the 25 city. But I mean, that WBRE survey came out,  99 1 85 percent are saying no. And the numbers I'm 2 getting in person from individuals that I know 3 and constituents that I represent are also 4 saying they don't like it. 5 As I said earlier, two pathways 6 here, aging and infrastructure. I'm all for 7 improving aging infrastructure downtown. Those 8 challenging traffic patterns, some of that I 9 beg to differ. And some of these stop signs 10 moving to all four way stops I'm in agreement 11 with. 12 Near CYC up on Vine, I'm in 13 agreement with that stop sign. Some of the 14 ones in the more central downtown area I am 15 not. 16 MR. KING: On the question, I wonder 17 how many people in that WBRE study or poll, 18 what have you, actually know or understand the 19 study or understand how much work and time that 20 has gone into this and that there's a 90 day 21 phase to make adjustments if determined, so 22 just wondering that. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Also, the way that 24 poll was phrased made it seem like all lights, 25 traffic lights were being removed downtown. So  100 1 it really -- 2 MR. KING: Which isn't the case. 3 DR. ROTHCHILD: -- clearly explain 4 the scope of the changes. 5 MR. SCHUSTER: That's not the case. 6 I knew that was going to be brought up tonight. 7 I knew someone of my -- individuals up here 8 were going to say that tonight. You know, here 9 we go time and time again rush things through. 10 What I'm hearing from the public out in the 11 public most people are unaware of it. 12 And again, as we said with that 13 poll, most people are unaware of the whole 14 plan. And we're also getting last minute 15 legislation again. It's coming out at the last 16 minute saying there's a time constraint on it 17 and it must go through. 18 I mean, mistakes that we made time 19 and time again that I'm trying to avoid. 20 MR. MCANDREW: Okay, so on the 21 question, is the investment worth it? I like 22 most of the plan. We need the sidewalks. We 23 need the paving. We need new storm drains. We 24 need some of the facade. We need -- I would 25 love to see the lights around the Radison and  101 1 that fixed. 2 I'm in favor for most of it. But 3 that doesn't mean I have to like all of it. So 4 since last week I've had the opportunity to 5 speak to residents, retired and current police 6 officers and retired and current State 7 Policemen, none of them thought the change -- 8 the changing of traffic lights to four way stop 9 was a good idea, none of them. 10 I took my own poll. And what they 11 would like to see is more of the investment 12 made into the neighborhoods. And I know the 13 administration will say we're doing some here 14 and some there. But I think they would like to 15 see more of this money being spent downtown 16 into their neighborhoods because this will be 17 very costly to change these lights to four way 18 blinking stops with another light blinking on 19 top of it. 20 It's going to cost a lot of money 21 and a lot money to maintain. So I agree with 22 that. So and like most, I also saw the results 23 of the WBRE/WIU28-22 InstaPoll. I don't know. 24 It's a poll. Maybe the --you know, and I 25 thought well, maybe they're not all residents.  102 1 And it doesn't matter because they might be 2 customers that come downtown just as much as 3 the residents. 4 So I value their opinion. And so 5 they took the time to fill out -- fill it out. 6 Did they know the whole plan, the thousand page 7 plan? I don't even know it. So but I value 8 their opinion. People use polls all the time. 9 Every election they rely on them and they're 10 constantly taking them. So there is some value 11 to it. So I put some value to it. 12 And, you know, I sit at this seat at 13 the pleasure of the taxpayers and the residents 14 that I represent. I don't report to anyone in 15 City Hall. But I do report to all of you, 16 meaning the residents. And guess what, I'm 17 listening. So once again, you know, my 18 position is replacing lights with stop signs is 19 not just inconvenient but I really believe it's 20 dangerous. 21 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, I 22 just want to add that if this legislation was 23 to be voted down, then as was reiterated to us 24 tonight and explained that they would need to 25 go back to the state where they already  103 1 submitted plans for the permit and that process 2 could be lengthy and could jeopardize the use 3 of ARPA funds for these projects, so not only 4 jeopardizing the changes from the signals to 5 four way stops, but then also the other things 6 included in this plan that may not be possible 7 without those funds, so just wanted to mention 8 that that was another reason that I'll be 9 voting for this piece. 10 MR. MCANDREW: I'd like to also add, 11 but, guess what, they're going to spend the 12 money. If these lights got voted down, that 13 money is going to be spent on everything else. 14 They say there's a little wiggle room. Like I 15 said, I don't know if I believe it or not. 16 But, okay, we know the money has to 17 be spent by '26. We get it. They're going to 18 spend it. So I don't think that is just on the 19 whole project or affects the sense of urgency. 20 MR. SMURL: Thank you. All those in 21 favor signify by saying aye. 22 MR. KING: Aye. 23 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 24 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? 25 MR. SCHUSTER: No.  104 1 MR. MCANDREW: No. 2 MR. SMURL: The ayes have it and so 3 moved. 4 MR. VOLDENBERG: 6-B. READING BY 5 TITLE - FILE OF THE COUNCIL NO. 98, 2025 - AN 6 ORDINANCE - AUTHORIZING THE CONVERSION OF 7 CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THE DOWNTOWN FROM ONE-WAY 8 STREETS TO TWO-WAY STREETS AND FROM TWO-WAY TO 9 ONE-WAY STREETS AS OUTLINED AND SPECIFIED 10 HEREIN. 11 MR. SMURL: You've heard reading by 12 title of Item 6-B. What is your pleasure? 13 MR. KING: Mr. Chairman, I move that 14 Item 6-B pass reading by title. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Second. 16 MR. SMURL: On the question? 17 MR. SCHUSTER: On the question, I 18 brought it up earlier in the meeting around the 19 courthouse, there's only businesses on one side 20 of the street. And there is parking on both 21 sides. As I stated before, at this point in 22 time what I'm hearing from the residents is 23 that the residents don't like it. 24 Those individuals that are saying 25 they do like it are businesses that do need  105 1 some improvements with their aging 2 infrastructure. And I will agree with them. 3 Is this worth it to the business? 4 Have we talked to all of them and do they 5 agree? And the list that we got from them 6 about the businesses was slightly misleading 7 because it made us believe that all of these 8 businesses were in agreement with this plan. I 9 don't know how many of them are or aren't. 10 MR. SMURL: All those in favor? 11 MR. MCANDREW: Also, the same people 12 that I spoke to regarding the four way stops 13 felt the same way about the changing the one 14 ways to two ways. And I again, have the same 15 questions regarding the merchants that were 16 contacted, not contacted, maybe once, maybe 17 phone call, maybe e-mail. 18 They sent us -- because it was 19 requested last week we got in our packet, 20 they're all highlighted. I don't know what the 21 highlighted means. Were they contacted two 22 years ago? Some of them have told us that we 23 don't even know what's going on because there 24 was only really one information session they 25 might have been invited to.  106 1 And then Scranton Tomorrow -- well, 2 then the Business Administrator said, oh, yeah, 3 we, you know, we had Scranton Tomorrow take 4 care of that. And then Leslie Collins said, 5 well, we did a piece of it. We were tasked 6 with some -- not really tasked, but we did some 7 of it. So it's unclear to -- I was led to 8 believe that the ones that were highlighted 9 were in favor of everything. 10 That's not the truth. So I don't 11 know why we got that. And, you know, once I 12 saw it just highlighted business owners and no 13 rationale or no explanation of, like, each one 14 how they felt, okay, some are getting -- 15 Downtown Deli. That's something visible that 16 should have been taken care of already. 17 So maybe they were waiting on this 18 project, which is fine. So, you know, standing 19 water is dangerous no matter what. That's not 20 something that would have to voice their 21 concerns and beg to be part of the program or 22 this project. It should have been taken care 23 of already or, you know, benefit of the doubt 24 they were going to take care of it when they 25 did the overall project.  107 1 MR. KING: On the question, I'm not 2 aware of any business owner that has come here 3 to City Hall to -- City Council meeting to 4 express their concerns about not wanting this. 5 So I find that compelling. 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: On the question, I 7 don't -- I don't expect that even if they did 8 ask every business on that are you in agreement 9 with this piece of legislation, are you in 10 agreement with this one and like so forth if 11 100 percent of them would be in agreement with 12 every piece and that's okay that we could have 13 differences on this and I appreciate the 14 discussion. 15 I also appreciate and respect the 16 responses that we've received from the 17 administration, those have spent so many -- so 18 much time studying this and planning it out to 19 make sure that it does work the best that it 20 can. 21 And Miss Cipriani did clarify and 22 respond to Councilman McAndrew's questions 23 tonight. And she said that it's been over the 24 last year. She said it was her staff who 25 personally made phone calls or physically went  108 1 to these places of businesses and spoke with 2 them about the potential changes. 3 And I don't know if he's calling her 4 a liar because you keep -- 5 MR. MCANDREW: Come on. 6 DR. ROTHCHILD: -- saying that what 7 she said wasn't actually true or at least from 8 your account. 9 MR. MCANDREW: First of all, I 10 didn't call her a liar. 11 DR. ROTHCHILD: You're saying 12 supposedly over the last two years and I don't 13 know if it was an e-mail or what. She 14 clarified tonight -- 15 MR. MCANDREW: She said some. 16 DR. ROTHCHILD: She said so -- 17 MR. MCANDREW: Some were called, but 18 not all of them. I spoke to ones that they 19 said they weren't. 20 DR. ROTHCHILD: I think they've made 21 attempts to call all of these. 22 MR. MCANDREW: Come on. All right, 23 whatever. 24 DR. ROTHCHILD: I'm saying what her 25 explanation tonight and her response for your  109 1 questions was not valid. 2 MR. MCANDREW: I didn't say it 3 wasn't valid. It wasn't clear enough for me. 4 I like clarity. 5 DR. ROTHCHILD: All right. I 6 thought it was -- I thought it was clear. And 7 we have the list. And they have highlighted 8 the majority of them that they were able to get 9 in touch with and speak with about these 10 changes. So I appreciate that work being done. 11 And that's good enough for me. 12 MR. SMURL: Thank you. All those in 13 favor signify by saying aye. 14 MR. KING: Aye. 15 DR. ROTHCHILD: Aye. 16 MR. SMURL: Aye. Opposed? 17 MR. SCHUSTER: No. 18 MR. MCANDREW: No. 19 MR. SMURL: They ayes have it and so 20 moved. 21 MR. VOLDENBERG: 6-C.
