[West Side Traffic Control Meeting on November 9, 2022]
[00:01:10]
YEAH, FOR EVERYBODY, JUST I DON'T THINK THAT'S WORKING. OKAY I WANT TO SAY THANK YOU, FOR YOU GUYS BEING CONCERNED ABOUT WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR COMMUNITY TOO OFTEN, THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED, YOU KNOW? PEOPLE COMPLAINED. THEY SEND US EMAILS. THEY DO ALL THAT KIND OF STUFF, BUT THEN THEY DON'T FOLLOW UP AND THEY DON'T TURN OUT AND THEY DON'T DO THINGS LIKE THIS. SO, TAKING YOUR TIME ON A WEDNESDAY NIGHT TO COME OUT AND LISTEN TO THIS IS IMPORTANT.
BUT THEN WHAT YOU DO WITH IT GOING BACK INTO YOUR COMMUNITY, EVEN THOUGH YOU SAID THERE'S KIND OF AN APATHETIC GROUP OUT THERE. IF SOMETHING'S WRONG, THEY'RE MORE THAN HAPPY TO COMPLAIN TO PEOPLE ABOUT IT, AND WE GET THAT AND WE WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR EVERYBODY. SO THANK YOU FOR BEING COMING OUT ON A WEDNESDAY AND ALSO TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. I'VE SEEN THIS BRIEFING ALREADY. IT'S PRETTY EXTENSIVE WHAT THEY'VE DONE TO TRY AND WORK ON SOME OF THE PROBLEMS AND I KNOW WE'VE GOT MORE EMAILS TODAY ABOUT SOME OF THE ISSUES IN THEIR SCHOOLS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, SO IT'S A CONTINUING PROBLEM, AND IT WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO BE AND INCREASINGLY WORSE PROBLEM UNTIL IT GETS BETTER. SO THANK YOU. THANK YOU BEAR. SO THE REST OF FOLKS I EVER WITH US FOR THE PRESENTATION THAT WE GOT YOU AND WEB WITH THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT. HE'S GOT ALL YOUR LONG TERM STRATEGIES IN PLACE. WHEN WE GET TO TALKING HIM. YOU GET THE PEPPER HIM WITH WHAT IS THE FUTURE GOING TO LOOK AND FEEL LIKE OPTIMAL LEFT INTO THE AUDIENCE, RIGHT? WE'VE GOT 18 DAILY. HE'S OUR CRIME ANALYST. SO WHEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE ALL THE NUMBERS COME FROM, FROM THE PD, STAT, THAT'S THE GENTLEMAN. IT'S GOING TO GET ALL THAT STARTED OFF FOR US RIGHT THERE. IF WE NEED NUMBERS, HE'S GONNA BE THE ONE THAT'S GONNA PULL THEM FOR US. WHERE'S THAT CLICKER AT REAL QUICK SO WE CAN GET STARTED. PARK UP HERE INSTEAD. EVERYBODY STILL HEAR ME, OKAY? GREAT. SO QUICK OVERVIEW LIKE I WAS SAYING EARLIER. THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF DATA THAT WE'RE GOING TO HIT WITH YOU TONIGHT, BUT MOSTLY IT REALLY IS ABOUT DIALOGUE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A TOWN HALL STYLE MEETING. IT'S REALLY ABOUT US CONNECTING WITH YOU AND MAKING SURE WE UNDERSTAND THE GRATITUDE. OF WHAT THE PROBLEMS ARE. MY HAT'S OFF TO YOU, SIR. YOU CAME OUT YOU BROUGHT TO CANCEL. YOU GOTTA ELEVATED UP.
HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE THIS GETTING ATTENTION. THAT THAT IT WARRANTS WITH THAT SAID, WE'RE ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS INTO THIS INITIATIVE. SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE DATA POINTS, THERE'S NOT A LOT THERE. DON'T LET THAT BIRD YOU DON'T LET THAT WORRY YOU RIGHT NOW, AS WE GO FORWARD FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS WILL CALCULATE AND WE'LL WE'LL BUILD A GREAT A LOT OF DATA THAT BETTER ARTICULATE WITH THE TRUE PROBLEM IS. WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THREE YEARS IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR FORM ENGINEERING, ENCOURAGEMENT, EDUCATION ENFORCEMENT AND EVALUATION.
THAT'S JUST SOMETHING TO BOUNCE AROUND YOUR HEAD. EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. WHEN IT COMES TO THIS INITIATIVE EVOLVES AROUND THESE AROUND THESE FIVE CONCEPTS RIGHT HERE. WE DON'T EDUCATE PEOPLE. WE DON'T INFORM PEOPLE. WE DON'T ENCOURAGE PEOPLE. WE DON'T SEEK THAT VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE. FOR ALL THE TRAFFIC LAWS OUT THERE. THEN IT PERPETUATES THE PROBLEM. SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT ENFORCEMENT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE OUT OF THE 90 PLUS TRAFFIC STOPS THAT WE HAVE DONE SINCE THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS THAT WE STARTED THIS ONLY ABOUT HALF OF THOSE WHO TRANSLATED TO A CITATION AGAIN. DON'T LET THAT WORRY YOU. THE MAIN THING IS BRINGING PEOPLE'S DRIVING HABITS TO THEIR ATTENTION IN A VERY FORMAL MANNER, SO WE CAN CURVE THAT TYPE OF BEHAVIOR. AS WE'VE LOOKED AT THE DATA SO FAR, AND WE SHOW YOU SOME OF THIS DRONE FOOTAGE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF MINUTES. HERE'S WHAT'S ACUTELY OBVIOUS TO US.
ENFORCEMENT IS ONLY JUST GONNA GO SO FAR. THE REAL SHORT TERM AND THE REAL LONG TERM STRATEGIES COME FROM THE ENGINEERING SIDE OF THINGS. WE'VE GOT TO GET OUT THERE, AND WE'VE GOT TO EXPLAIN TO YOU WHAT TEXAS IS DOING WITH THE TOWN OF PROSPEROUS DOING AND HOW ALL AND HOW THEY ALL FIT IN TOGETHER TO GIVE US THE COMPREHENSIVE, LONG TERM SOLUTION. WHEN WE GOT THIS
[00:05:04]
THING STARTED, WE DID A LOT OF ANNOUNCEMENTS OVER OVER SOCIAL MEDIA. HOW MANY OF YOU GOT TO SEE THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT WENT OVER SOCIAL MEDIA? GOOD DEAL. PROSPER FIRE DEPARTMENT WORK CLOSELY WITH US TO BE ABLE TO GET THE DRONE FOOTAGE. SO WHEN YOU GET A CHANCE, YOU CAN THANK THEM FOR THE FOR THE DRONE FOOTAGE. DO I HAVE THE CONVERSATION TODAY? WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT SPEED TRAILERS. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE WE HAVE A COUPLE OF SPEED DRIVERS THAT DEPLOYED THROUGHOUT THE WEST SIDE OF TOWN AS WELL AS AROUND THE STAR TRAIL, PART OF THE ISSUE AS WELL. THE GOOD NEWS IS ON NOVEMBER 4TH. WE GOT TWO NEW BRAND NEW SPEED TRAILERS DELIVERED TO US THAT WILL ROLL INTO THE PHONE, SO JUST KIND OF A QUICK OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S GOING TO LOOK LIKE FOR THE NEXT 45 MINUTES OR SO. THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES START OFF AS STILL SHOTS , BUT AS WE GO INTO IT, YOU'RE GOING TO SEE SOME OF THE FOOTAGE. THIS RIGHT HERE HAS TO DO WITH THE SCHOOL THAT'S AROUND THE STAR MIDDLE AREA, NOT A LOT OF TRAFFIC CONGESTION IN THIS VIDEO RIGHT HERE. DON'T LET THAT ALARM YOU. WE STILL KNOW WE GOT PROBLEMS WHEN IT COMES TO CROSSWALKS AND MAKING SURE FOLKS GET TO THERE SO THEY SO THEY CAN USE THE CROSSWALK. LET ME RUN THIS FOOTAGE FOR YOU HERE BRIEFLY. AGAIN NOT A LOT TO SEE IN THIS AREA HERE. BUT AS WE GET MORE TOWARDS THE WINDSONG RANCH AREA. YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT OF CONGESTION WITH MUCH OF YOU ARE VERY FAMILIAR WITH THOSE AREAS. THIS IS JUST TO LET YOU KNOW THAT OVER ON THE WINDSONG RANCH AREA RIGHT AROUND A LITTLE HARD BLOCK OF WINDSONG IS WHAT WE DEPLOYED. THE FIRST SPEECH TRAILER WANTED QUESTIONS WE GOT EARLIER ON. WE WERE KIND OF TALKING BEFORE BEFORE THE MEETING STARTED, AS DOES THE SPEED TRAILER CAPTURE CARS COMING FROM BOTH DIRECTIONS. THE SHORT ANSWER IS NO. IT ONLY CAPTURES THE TRAFFIC. THAT'S COMING TOWARDS THIS BE TRAILER OVER TIME THROUGH OUR DEPLOYMENT SCHEDULE. WE'RE GOING TO MOVE THESE SPEED TRAILERS THROUGHOUT THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE AREAS THAT WERE TRYING TO COLLECT THE DATA ON WE GET ALL DIRECTIONS OF TRAVEL WILL AGGREGATE THAT DATA OVER A PERIOD OF TIME, AND THAT WILL GIVE US A CLEAR IMAGE OF WHAT? HOW MANY CARS FAST DO THOSE AREAS. WHAT'S YOUR AVERAGE SPEEDS ARE BETWEEN THAT THE MEDIUM BELOW AND THE TOP OUT SPEEDS AS WELL. I THINK THESE NEXT FEW SLIDES REALLY DO SHOW THE MAGNITUDE OF WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH. WE TALK ABOUT DRAGHI ROAD AS WELL. FIRST OF ALL EVERYBODY IN THE AUDIENCE, SEE THE VIDEO FOOTAGE. OKAY. IF YOU CAN'T, THEN WE CAN LOOK ON THAT TV OVER THERE TO THE LEFT OF YOU. AS A DRONE KIND OF PANS AROUND, IT GOES BACK TOWARD 3 80 BACK TO THE LEFT HERE IN A MAN'S GOING TO PIVOT BACK AROUND THAT'S GOING TO GO BACK TOWARDS THE WEST. BUT WHAT YOU'RE GONNA SEE IS WE LOOK AT THIS DRONE FOOTAGE RIGHT HERE IS A PRETTY STEADY FORWARD TRAFFIC. AROUND THIS ENTIRE ROAD ALL THE WAY DOWN TOWARDS 13 85. SO GIVE IT JUST A MINUTE. WE'LL PIVOT BACK AROUND HERE. IS THIS WHAT YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH WHEN YOU'RE OUT ON THAT ROAD? YES, YES. AND AGAIN AS WE MOVE AROUND THE ROAD GETTING THE FISH TRAVELING SWING BACK TOWARDS 13 85. IT'S NOTHING BUT TRAFFIC CONGESTION. LET'S SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AT AT NIGHTTIME NIGHTTIME BRINGS A WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING WHEN YOU SEE THE MAGNITUDE OF THE HEADLIGHTS IN THERE AS WELL. THIS TIME WE'RE GONNA BE LOOKING OUT DIRECTLY WEST FROM 13 85.WE'RE GONNA PAN BACK TOWARDS UNIVERSITY. WHAT WE'RE SEEING IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS REPORTED TO US.
AND WHAT'S KIND OF UNLESS THEY TRACKED IT. BUT WHAT'S REALLY ALARMING ABOUT THIS FOOTAGE IS THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE AND FEELS LIKE FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. RIGHT? SO SOMEONE JUST TRYING TO GO OUT AND RUN A SIMPLE ROUTINE OR SIMPLE ERRAND. GO TO THE GROCERY. IT'S TAKEN AN EXCEPTIONAL AMOUNT OF TIME. PLEASE UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IS NOT LOST ON US AT ALL. ALL RIGHT. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET SOME REALLY GOOD SOLUTIONS IN THERE. I'M GONNA STOP HER REAL QUICK FOR JUST A MINUTE. I JUST WANT TO JUST HAVE BASIC CONVERSATION BEFORE BEFORE WE GET INTO DATA. UH HAVE YOU EVER BEEN STOPPED BY A POLICE OFFICER BEFORE? ALRIGHT FAIR ENOUGH.
WELL, I CAN RAISE MY HAND AS WELL. WHAT I WANT YOU TO WHAT I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND FOR THAT IS THAT WHEN WE'RE OUT THERE DOING THAT VERY IMPORTANT. ENFORCEMENT ACTION. IT'S TO GET VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE. THAT IS OUR SOLE PURPOSE OUT THERE IS TO GET THE VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE SO WE CAN KEEP EVERYBODY SAFE OUT THERE. WE WANT TO BE AS A PLEASANT EXPERIENCE AS IT POSSIBLY CAN BE UNDERSTAND, SOME PEOPLE SAY, WELL, THAT USUALLY TRANSLATES TO A CITATION.
SOMETIMES IT DOES. SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T LATER ON. WE GO OVER THE SLIDES, AND YOU SEE HOW MANY VERBAL WARNINGS THAT WE'VE GIVEN AS WELL UNDERSTAND THAT IS THE EDUCATION PROCESS OF THINGS.
LET'S GO BACK TO THOSE SPEED TRAVELERS FOR JUST A HOT MINUTE. THOSE ARE ALSO AN EDUCATION PROCESS. WE WERE TALKING EARLIER . WE KNOW THAT WHEN PEOPLE SEE THOSE SPEED TRAILERS, THEY'RE GOING TO ADJUST THEIR SPEED. SO YOU'RE ASKING YOURSELF? HEY, ARE WE REALLY CAPTURING THE ACTUAL
[00:10:01]
SPEED THAT MOST PEOPLE DRIVE OUT THERE? WELL, WE MAY NOT BE, BUT WE'RE STILL GETTING AVERAGE OF WHAT IT LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE, BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, WE'RE SLOW IN THE CARS DOWN. THAT IS OUR NUMBER. ONE OBJECTIVE IS TO GAIN THAT VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE. SO LET'S SPEED TRAILERS STARVE AS DATA COLLECTION. THEY SERVE AS AWARENESS AND THEY HELP US ACHIEVE. THAT VERY IMPORTANT GOAL, SO I'M GOING TO PAUSE. WE QUIT FOR JUST THE PDC. YES. WHAT? DO YOU MIND IF I PAPER THAT OVER HERE TO HUMANS SINCE HE HANDLES THOSE THINGS? OKAY OKAY. I'M GONNA GO AND JUST STOP TALKING ABOUT THE PD SIDE FOR JUST A MOMENT TO HUMAN JUST KIND OF TALK ABOUT SOME OF THE INFRASTRUCTURE ISSUES BECAUSE WHEN WE GET DONE WITH THIS, WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT DATA. WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT WHAT THE P D IS GOING TO BE DOING OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF WEEKS, AND THEN I REALLY WANTED TO START HAVING CONVERSATION SHARING QUESTIONS SO THAT WE'RE NOT MISSING ANYTHING THAT WE CAN BE DOING MORE MORE SO FOR YOU. FAIR ENOUGH RIGHT? ANYONE TO COME UP WITH? THANKS, CHIEF. OKAY? SO YOU MAY HAVE TO HELP ME DRIVE YOUR SLIDES ALMOST STEAL SOME OF YOUR PRESENTATION HERE. OKAY SO MY WORK BACK BACKWARDS A LITTLE BIT BASED ON SOME OF THE SLIDES THAT CHEAPER SHOWED YOU WE ALL KNOW THAT THE BIG, I GUESS.SOLUTION IS GOING TO BE WHEN TEXTILE GETS 3 80 WIDEN AND 13 85 WIDE AND BUT WE KNOW THAT'S THAT'S GOING TO BE SEVERAL YEARS DOWN THE ROAD. WE'RE FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO 3 80 IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. THE TEXT OUT, IS EXPLAINING THAT CURRENTLY BUT BUT UNFORTUNATELY YOU KNOW, THAT'S STILL TWO YEARS OUT BEFORE THEY WILL BE COMPLETE. BUT WHAT THAT WILL BRING, OF COURSE, WILL BE SIX LANES OF 3 80 THAT'LL BRING OVERPASSES AT 4 , 23 AND LEGACY AND TILL SO, THAT'S GONNA MAKE A DRAMATIC IMPACT. I THINK TO A LOT OF WHAT WE'RE SEEING NOW AS FAR AS TRAFFIC GOING DOWN THE ROAD TRYING TO JUST BISECT AND GET AWAY FROM 3 80, SO I THINK THAT'S GONNA BE A HUGE HELP THERE. I'M JUST GONNA SHOW YOU CAN GO TO AND YOUR VIDEO. LET ME USE THIS SLIDE HERE. SO REALLY, TO PREPARE FOR THAT. YOU KNOW THE 3 80 PROJECT TEXT OUT SPENDING ROUGHLY 136 MILLION FOR THAT, UH, THEY'RE DESIGNING CURRENTLY. 13 85 FROM 3 80 FURTHER NORTH. THAT'S ABOUT, UM , THREE YEAR PROJECT OUT BEFORE THEY'LL START CONSTRUCTION ON IT . IT'S A LITTLE LESS THAN 200 MILLION AHEAD OF THAT. THE TOWN IS RECENTLY IS AWARDED $40 MILLION WORTH OF ROAD PROJECTS IN THE AREA. THAT ARE UNDER CONSTRUCTION. YOU MAY SEE SOME WORK GOING ON OUT THERE, SO THAT'S A LITTLE BIT OF AN INTERMEDIATE GAP TO HELP PROVIDE SOME RELIEF, AND THAT'S TO EXPAND THE ROAD FROM WINDSONG, THE RETAIL CENTER UP TO FISH TRAPS SO THEY WILL GET FOUR LANES BUILT IN THEIR EXPAND THE INTERSECTION THERE TO KEISHA TO FISH TRAP. THEN IT WILL EXPAND. ALSO. FISH TRAP FROM THE ROAD ALL THE WAY OVER TO TEAL PARKWAY DOES INCLUDE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL IT FISH TRAP AND WINDSONG PARKWAY. SO I KNOW THAT THAT PROJECTS UNDERWAY NOW AND IT SHOULD BE 12 MONTH COMPLETION FOR THAT PROJECT. THE OTHER PIECE THAT PEOPLE HAVE HAD CONCERNS WITH OVER THE YEARS AS THE REMAINING PIECE OF FISH TRAP. BETWEEN STEVER ELEMENTARY IN THE DNT NOTICE. THERE'S A LOT OF POWER POLES OUT THERE. THINGS ARE BEING RELOCATED. THOSE UTILITY RELOCATIONS ARE NEAR COMPLETION AND THAT CONTRACTOR YOU WILL SEE THEM SHORTLY START MOBILIZING. THAT PROJECTS A LITTLE LONGER. THAT'S A YOU KNOW, ROUGHLY A TWO YEAR PROJECT, BUT WHEN THAT'S DONE, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE FOUR LANES ALL THE WAY FROM THE ROAD.
TO THE D N T. SO THAT'S GOING TO BE A HUGE IMPROVEMENT THERE. SO THAT'S SOME OF THE KIND OF SAY SO MUCH. BUT THE SHORT TERM ROAD EXPANSIONS THAT THE TOWN HAS ONE OF THE LARGER PROJECTS THAT THE TOWN HAS BEEN PUSHING. IS MENTIONED THE FOUR LANES THAT WILL HAVE A G ROAD FROM 3 80 UP TO FISH TRAP, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU WENT OUT AND VOTED AND VOTED FOR PROP. EIGHT AND DIDN'T COUNTY AND SAW THAT PAST 74% 1 OF THE MAIN PROJECTS THAT THE JUDGE HAD ON HIS LIST WAS FOR THE EXPANSION OF THE ROAD FROM 3 80 UP TO 13 85. AND WHAT THAT IS, IS AS MENTIONED WILL HAVE FOUR LANES WHEN WE'RE DONE NEXT SUMMER OF THE ROAD UP TO FISH TRAP. BUT WITH THAT LEAVES IS TWO LANES FROM FISH TRAP OVER TO 13 85. AND WHAT WE ASKED THE COUNTY TO PUTTING THAT PROPOSITION IS TO ACTUALLY EXPAND SIX LANES FROM 3 80 ALL THE WAY TO 13 85. SO THAT'S ADDING ANOTHER TWO LANES FROM WHAT WE'LL FINISH UP TO FISH TRAP AND THEN EXPAND FOUR LANES WITH A NEW BRIDGE FROM FISH TRAP ALL THE WAY TO 13 85. SO THAT'S A HUGE PROJECT THAT WE'RE GONNA
[00:15:04]
BE PUSHING PRETTY HARD. WE DIDN'T COUNTY AND TEXT TO SEE IF WE CAN'T GET IN THE HOPPER PRETTY QUICK NOW THAT THAT'S PASSED. YES, MA'AM. SO WE REQUESTED ALL THE WAY DOWN FROM FROM 3 80. ALL THE WAY TO 13 85. SO THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD COMPLETE THAT SECTION THROUGH THEIR, UM AND THEN JUST SOME. YES.DO YOU UNDERSTAND? THE OTHER? THE TOWN HAS LONG AND STAR AFFAIRS IS YOU'RE RIGHT. IT'S THE IT'S THE LANDS. WE HAVE A LITTLE BIT LARGER BUFFER THAN YOU SEE IN MOST COMMUNITIES WITH THE LANDSCAPING AND THE BURNING AND THE OPEN OPEN FENCING. SO THERE'S NONE. THERE'S NO SOUND BARRIERS PROPOSED. THE TOWN TO TOWN DOESN'T HAVE SOUND BARRIERS AS PART OF ITS THOROUGHFARE SCREENING REQUIREMENTS. TEXT OUT ON A TEXTILE ROADWAY, THEY'LL THEY'LL RUN THROUGH THAT KIND OF NOISE ANALYSIS. AND DO THAT, IF IT'S REQUIRED, BUT THE TOWN DOES NOT HAVE THAT.
SO SO, OUR PROJECT THAT'S CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. JUST GET THE FOUR LANES COMPLETED UP TO FISH TRAP. AND SO THEN WHAT PASSED IN THE DEN COUNTY BOND WOULD AT LEAST GET THE DESIGN STARTED. AND THE CONSTRUCTION? I DON'T KNOW IT WILL TAKE A WHILE FOR THEM TO GET THE DESIGN COMPLETE. WE'RE ASKING AGAIN AGAIN IF THEY CAN GET THAT FUNDING. YOU KNOW ONCE THAT BOND PASSED. THEY STILL THAT'S YOU KNOW, MULTI YEAR PROGRAM AND OUR HOPE IS THAT WE CAN GET IN THERE EARLIER. AT LEAST GET THIS DESIGN STARTED BECAUSE THAT'S GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME TO GET THAT'S THE SIX LINES UNDER DESIGN. OUR TYPICAL ON A FOUR LANE OR EVEN A SIX LANE DIVIDED ROADWAYS BEEN 45 MILES AN HOUR. SO WE HAVEN'T HAD ANYTHING MORE THAN THAT. SO AGAIN. I DON'T HAVE A TIME FRAME FOR THAT. BUT I DO KNOW ARE FOUR LANES IS GETTING ABOUT 12 MONTHS OUT TO COMPLETE THAT. AND THEN I DO KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF CONCERNS WITH THE ACACIA INTERSECTION. WE DID GO OUT THERE. PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT. YOU KNOW, WE'VE GONE OUT THERE TWICE NOW AND DONE IT. TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANT WAS PRETTY SHOCKED AT THE LAST ONE WE DID TAKING ACCOUNT THE TRAFFIC OUT THERE TODAY, PLUS THE PROJECTION WITH IT BEING FOUR LANES STILL DIDN'T MEET THE TRAFFIC WARRANT. SO AS SOON AS WE GET COMPLETE WITH THE FOUR LANES A YEAR FROM NOW WE'RE GOING TO DO ANOTHER TRAFFIC SIGNAL WARRANTS SO AH! I DON'T HAVE THE EXACT NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE. A THIRD PARTY CONSULTANT GOES THROUGH THERE AND THEY DO. THERE'S A BELIEVE A CRITERIA. SO IT'S NOT JUST THE TRAFFIC INTERSECTION, BUT IT'S DIFFERENT. YEAH PERIODS OF PEAK TIME THAT THEY LOOK AT AS WELL AS PEDESTRIANS AND OUR LOOK AT ACCIDENT DATA. YOU NAME IT. YES, MA'AM. WHY CAN THERE NOT BE A LIGHT OR STOPS ON THERE WHEN YOU HAVE ONE RIGHT UP HERE AT COLEMAN AND FIRST STREET OF FOUR WAY, AND THERE'S NO WAY THERE'S THAT MUCH TRAFFIC THERE. WELL WE ACTUALLY YEAH. WE HAD TO DO THE SAME ANALYSIS THAT COLEMAN THAT IS RIGHT HERE TO JUST TALK ABOUT IT PERSONALLY. SO WE HAVE TO. WE HAVE TO USE THAT IT'S A THEY DON'T HAVE THAT AMOUNT OF TRAFFIC THAT'S OVER THERE. WELL, IT'S NOT JUST THE YOU HAVE A LOT OF YOU DO HAVE A LOT MORE. ONE THROUGH THROUGH G. YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT BOTH DIRECTIONS. THEY HAVE TO GO THROUGH AGAIN. IT'S A STATE CRITERIA THAT THEY HAVE TO FOLLOW THEM. OKAY, THAT'S SETTLED. YEAH, WE HAD TO GO THROUGH THAT BEFORE. WE COULD DO THE HALLWAYS STOP THROUGH THERE, BUT NOW WE DID. I KNOW. ONE OF THE CONCERNS WAS TRAFFIC WAS BLOCKING THE INTERSECTION. WE
[00:20:01]
HEARD. I THINK PEOPLE JUST NOT LETTING PEOPLE IN THOSE SIGNS AREN'T WORKING. SO MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING. THAT'S PROBABLY SOMETHING WE CAN HOPEFULLY, ADDRESS TONIGHT IS PUT THAT ON THE LIST OF, YOU KNOW. OKAY? OKAY? OKAY? APPRECIATE IT. SO KIND OF THIS MOVIE KIND OF FURTHER EAST . YOU KNOW, WINDSONG PARKWAY. I KNOW WE'VE HAD A TOWN HALL MEETING A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO. SOME RESIDENTS, YOU KNOW, THEY'RE JUST VOICING CONCERNS WITH WINDSONG PARKWAY AND THE TRANSITION OF THE SPEED COMING FROM LIKE ON A NON RESIDENTIAL INTO THE RESIDENTIAL AREA. YOU ASK THE QUESTION ABOUT WHEN YOU KNOW WHAT DOES IT TAKE OUT? WHAT'S THAT POLICY OF WHEN YOU CAN HAVE A DIGITAL SPEED LIMIT SIGN, AND SO CURRENTLY THE POLICY IS IF THERE'S A SPEEDING ISSUE ON EITHER MINOR OR MAJOR ROADWAY WITHIN TOWN. AH! THAT'S WHEN WE CAN CAN INSTALL THAT. LUCKILY YOU'LL HAVE IF YOU ARE IN ONE SONG. YOU'LL HAVE A GREAT DEVELOPER. AND WE'VE JUST REACHED AN AGREEMENT. WE'RE WORKING ON THE DEAL POINTS FOR THAT TO BRING TO THE TOWN COUNCIL. THEY HAVE AGREED TO ACTUALLY INSTALL AT THEIR COST AND MAINTAIN IF ANYTHING, HAPPENS LONG TERM AND PUT ONE OF THOSE DIGITAL NO SPEED LIMIT SIGNS AS YOU'RE TRANSITIONING FROM THE 35 TO 25 SO HMM. JUST WE'RE STILL DOING THE DEAL POINTS. SO THEY'VE GOT GUY WENT BACK AND FORTH. AND, UH, YOU KNOW, HAS AGREED TO FUND IT. AND SO THEY NOT ONLY THAT, BUT, YOU KNOW, WE ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL CROSSWALK SIGNS THAT BOTH ACACIA INTERSECTIONS TO TRY TO BRING AWARENESS. UM IT DIDN'T MEET OUR WARRANT FOR FLASHING CROSSWALK SIGNAGE. BUT TELL US ALSO AGREED HATE IF THEY IF THEY ALL FUND THOSE AND THE TOWN DOES DOES SOME JUST MINOR MAINTENANCE. WOULD WE BE WILLING TO DO THAT? WELL, WE'RE PUTTING THAT IN AGREEMENT AS WELL. SO TELL US, IT'S NOT ONLY FOR THE DIGITAL RADAR SPEED LIMIT SIGN, BUT ALSO PUTTING THOSE PEDESTRIAN ACTIVATED PUSH BUTTONS THAT ARE LIKE ON G. YOU'LL SEE TWO SETS OF THOSE GO IN THERE AND INDICATION AND BOTH THOSE INTERSECTIONS ONE ONCE ON. GOING SOUTH. TOWARDS 3 80. THEY'RE ON THAT INTERSECTION BEFORE YOU SEE THOSE FLASHING YELLOW LIGHTS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE MOVED BACKWARDS TO SAY, HEY, YOU NEED TO WATCH FOR PEOPLE HERE. THERE ARE KIDS CROSSING.WOULD YOU IF YOU LOOK AT THE FIRST INTERSECTION NORTH OF 3 80 YOU COME OUT ACROSS WATER.
YOU'RE LOOKING UP THE HILL TO YOUR LEFT. AND YOU'RE LOOKING DOWN THE HILL TO YOUR RIGHT AND THE CARS ARE JUST FLYING DOWN THE HILL AT YOU IF YOU'RE TRYING TO MAKE A LEFT YOU GOT TO TAKE YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS AND MAKE A LEFT OUT OF THERE. AND YOU KNOW, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. UM SO IF YOU'RE HEADING OUT OF OCCASION TO G ROAD UM, TO TAKE A LEFT. UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THE TRAFFIC IS BACKED UP YOU CANNOT SEE TO GET OUT. I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY ACCIDENTS THERE HAS BEEN.
SHOCKED ME IF THERE ISN'T BUT IT'S VERY, VERY BAD EVERYDAY I WHEN I PICK HIM UP FROM SCHOOL, I'VE GOT TO GO THROUGH THERE AND THE TRAFFIC BACKS UP BY THE TIME HE GETS OUT OF SCHOOL, THREE O'CLOCK UM I USUALLY HAVE TO GUN IT ACROSS THE STREET TO GET INTO CROSS WATER. BECAUSE IT'S UM A REALLY, REALLY BAD BLIND SPOT. IT'S ALSO A BLIND SPOT FOR US TO GET OUT RIGHT THERE AT OCCASION AT CROSS WATER UM, PRETTY SEVERELY. OKAY WE'LL LOOK AT THAT. I KNOW WHEN AND I'LL MENTION SO WHEN WE DO WIDEN THE FOUR LANES THROUGH THERE WILL HAVE TO ADD ADDITIONAL FLASHERS AND HOPEFULLY YOU KNOW, LIKE YOU'VE SEEN IT PROBABLY ON COID OR IN A COUPLE OF AREAS WHERE
[00:25:02]
YOU HAVE TO TRAIL CROSSINGS LIKE THAT, SO WE'LL HAVE MORE FLASHES THROUGH THERE, AND THEY'LL BE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE ROAD IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. MAYBE THAT'LL HELP A LITTLE BIT, BUT, YEAH, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S MAYBE SOME MONITORING WE CAN DO AS FAR AS IF PEOPLE AREN'T STOPPING. YES, SIR. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO GIVE ME YOUR PHONE NUMBER. I'M GONNA CALL YOU PERSONALLY, WE WILL COORDINATE SOME TARGETED ENFORCEMENT AND WELCOME OUT THERE WILL ACTUALLY BE CALLED FLAG RADARS, FLAG. THE, UH FLAG RADIATORS. WE'RE JUST GOING TO STOP TRAFFICKING. TRY TO CLEAR SOME OF THE OTHER THAT WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO DO IS WE DON'T WANT TO PUT KNOBS ARE OUT THERE TO THE POINT THAT WE MAKE THE PROBLEM WORSE, BUT I THINK HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF PRESENCE OUT THERE AND HELPING CLEAR THAT OUT, WE'RE PROBABLY MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE. WELL, WE'LL BE WORKING ON THAT FOR YOU AS WELL. YOUNG AGENTS MAKING COPIES NOTES ON THOSE ATOMS. OKAY I WOULD WELCOME YOUR PRESENCE OUT THERE, BUT I KNOW THAT YOU GUYS HAVE A PLAN AND EVERYTHING BUT I KNOW YOU'VE DONE STUDIES. BUT UNTIL YOU LIVE THERE, YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW DANGEROUS IT IS TO LEAVE YOUR HOME. GOING TO WORK IN THE MORNING, COMING HOME IN THE AFTERNOON OR LEAVING. TO GO TO DINNER. OR ANYWHERE. I KNOW YOU'VE DONE THESE STUDIES, BUT I DON'T REALLY THINK YOU UNDERSTAND HOW DANGEROUS AND SCARY THIS IS. IT'S TO THE POINT WHERE FAMILIES CHOOSE NOT TO LET THEIR CHILDREN CROSSED THE STREET TO GO OVER TO THE LAGOON OR GO DOWN TO THE OTHER SWIMMING AREA. OR EVEN GO GO TO WALK TO SCHOOL BECAUSE IT IS JUST TOO. TOO DANGEROUS. I MEAN, YOU TAKE IT INTO YOUR OWN HANDS WHEN YOU GO UP THERE JUST ACROSS I MEAN, THERE'S A BLIND SPOT, AND THEN THERE'S JUST PEOPLE THAT ARE JUST FLYING THROUGH THERE. WE WORK DIRECTLY WITH YOU ON SOME SPECIFIC DATES, TIMEFRAMES AND WE'LL COME OUT THERE AND WE WILL LITERALLY STOPPED TRAFFIC AND WE'LL SEE WHAT TYPE OF IMPACT IT MAKES ON THERE. WE CAN'T THROW A LOT OF RESOURCES THAT ON A CONTINUOUS BASIS, BUT WE ARE GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE AFTER THEY WERE REALLY GOOD PEOPLE FOR YOU BECAUSE OUR HOMES ACTUALLY BACK UP TO G THAT IS PERFECTLY SIT THERE IN OUR LIVING ROOM.LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW WAVING AT PEOPLE. WELL, THEN THEY CAN WAVE AT US BECAUSE WE'LL BE OUT THERE WITH YOU. OKAY WE WILL GET THAT ON THE SCHEDULE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING CLOSELY WITH YOU ALL OF THOSE ISSUES AND I KNOW YOU ALL HAVE A PLAN AND I APPRECIATE IT. I REALLY REALLY DO. BUT IN THE SHORT TERM, THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. THE QUANTITY. BIT OF STOP SIGNS TRAFFIC CONTROL DOES NOT REQUIRED AND HOW FAR THEY ARE FROM. IT IS ANE THAT. I KNOW THERE'S A COUPLE OF RESIDENTS AND I THINK, EVEN IN THE H O A REPRESENTATIVES AS WELL AS TELL US AND HOW THEIR STUDIES BUT WE ARE, WE CAN MAKE THAT PUBLIC INFORMATION. AND TO YOUR POINT, I THINK IT'S MORE THAN JUST THE NUMBERS. IT'S HAVING A REALLY GENUINE SINCE YOUR CONVERSATION ABOUT WHAT THE DELTA IS. THIS IS WHAT THE DATA SHOWS. NOW THIS IS WHERE WE'RE HINDERED. THIS IS WHAT IT HAS TO BE BEFORE WE CAN TAKE THOSE NEXT STEPS. NOT THAT WE'RE GOING TO CREATE SOME ENVIRONMENT TO ACHIEVE THAT, BUT I THINK THE LEVEL OF UNDERSTAND THAT WILL BE VERY IMPORTANT NUMBERS ARE ARE ONE THING. BUT PERSPECTIVE AND UNDERSTANDING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. LIKE I SAID, WHEN, WHEN WE GET THE FOUR LANES IN YOU KNOW, HOPEFULLY WE'LL GET SOME FEEDBACK. IT'S ALMOST LIKE PLAYING A LITTLE BIT OF FROGGER WHEN YOU GOT TWO LANES RIGHT NEXT TO YOU DOING THIS? HOPEFULLY HAVING A LITTLE BIT OF THE GAP, EVEN THOUGH YOU'LL HAVE TO GET HALFWAY TO THE MEDIAN BEFORE YOU CAN CONTINUE THAT CROSSING. THIS IS MY EXPERIENCE THAT DOES HELP THAT YOU'RE ONLY LOOKING FOR TRAFFIC COMING ONE WAY BEFORE YOU GET TO THE MEDIAN AND THEN LOOKING THE OTHER WAY BEFORE YOU FINISH THE CROSSING TIMES, I WILL BE A LITTLE BIT BETTER SCENARIO. THE MEDIUM SHOULD BE, UH, SHOULD BE ROUGHLY 40 PLUS FEET BECAUSE AGAIN AND ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE, YOU KNOW.
THE OTHER FIFTH AND SIX LANES WILL BE INTERIOR INTERIOR THAT SO PLENTY OF ROOM. GOING NORTH ON. OH, AND IF YOU DON'T GET IT. RIGHT THERE. THEY'RE COMING. THEY'RE THEY'RE COMING. THEY'RE COMING UP ON 4 23. THEY DON'T WANT TO GET OVER AND TURN LEFT, SO THEY GO UP THROUGH AND THEN THEY TURN INTO THE BACKSIDE OF RACETRACK AND FISH THROUGH THE PARKING LOT THERE AND GET BACK
[00:30:01]
ON 3 80 SO THAT THEY CUT ALL THOSE PEOPLE. THE REAL ISSUE IS THEY DID COME OUT AND THEY PUT UP NO. IF YOU YOU TURNED, SO THEY KEEP GOING FURTHER NORTH, WHERE THEY'RE TURNING INTO CROSS WATER. AND DOING A LOOP THE LOOP AND GETTING BACK OUT. HMM.YOU COULD PROBABLY HARD TO MORE POLICE OFFICERS. JUST TO SIT THERE. RIGHT DID THEY GO PUBLIC WORKS IS GONNA PUT SOME NOTE THROUGH TRAFFIC SIGNS THAT BOTH INTERESTED, BUT ONE IS A JUSTIFICATION OR JUST IT'S JUST THE OCCASIONAL. WE DIDN'T HAVE THE ONE ACROSS. THERE'S NOT ONE AT THE OTHER END YET, SO WE NEEDED. THAT'S ONE THING. THANK YOU WERE GOING TO, BUT THEY HAVEN'T DONE AND THEN JUST A COUPLE OTHER ITEMS THAT, UH, JUST WE'VE HEARD, UH. IS THE WIND SONG AT 3 80 INTERSECTION, THE LIGHT THERE THAT IS CONTROLLED BY THE CITY OF FRISCO . WE DO HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM. UM WE ALL KNOW THAT THREE EIGHTIES THE PRIORITY FOR THE TRAFFIC, BUT MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT WE DO HAVE A GREEN ARROW. FOR A WHILE.
THERE DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF GREEN TIME, BUT THEY HAVE. I THINK THEY HAVE BEEN PREACHED IT. SO IS IT. FOR TWO CARS THROUGH THERE, OKAY, WHAT THEY WERE TELLING ME IT WAS LIKE IN THE IN THE MORNING. IT'S LIKE 16 SECONDS. MIDEI'S 14 SECONDS AND PM'S 18 SECONDS, WHICH IS NO WAY. OKAY? WELL, I'M NOT GOING TO BE. I SAID SO. OKAY, WELL, I'M GONNA GO CHECK IT. CALLED HIM LOOKING OKAY? BUT WHAT YOU HAVE AND. AND WHAT ALSO HAPPENS IS COMING THE OTHER WAY COMING OUT OF HOLLYHOCKS GOING ACROSS. THEY HAVE A GREEN PROTECTED, RIGHT? NO. SOMETIMES I LIKE DOESN'T EVEN TURN AROUND. YOU'LL SIT AT HOLLY HOCK. THE LIGHT WILL, THERE WILL BE AN ARROW TO HOLD STRAIGHT CARS, RED CARS WILL COME AND THEN 3 80 TRAFFICKERS BY AGAIN. AND I'VE SAT AT THAT, LIKE FOR THREE TIMES, IT NEVER TURNED GREEN. IT'S READY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE DOING WITH THAT INTERSECTION, BUT IT IS NOT THE WAY FRISCO HAS DESCRIBED IT TO YOU. IF YOU YOU KNOW, YOU MAY HAVE MY CONTACT INFORMATION. IF NOT, I'LL MAKE SURE YOU HAVE IT. UM IF YOU KNOW THE TIMES, WRITE THOSE DOWN YOUR DOCUMENT THAT STUFF I'D SAY ANYBODY YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA CALL. MAYBE WE CAN MAKE THAT PUBLIC. YOU WRITE DOWN THE INFORMATION THAT BEST TIMES, YOU KNOW, FIRST GO HAS CAMERAS OUT THERE AND SO THEY'RE ABLE TO GO BACK AND THEY'VE GOT A LOT BETTER TECHNOLOGY AND THEY CAN GO IN AND KIND OF SEE WHAT'S GOING ON. IF SOMETHING'S HAPPENED WITH THE SIGNAL, OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT'S NOT TRIPPING THE SIGNAL. STUFF LIKE THAT HELPS US TREMENDOUSLY. IF YOU'RE OUT THERE AND YOU SEE IT.
AND IF IT'S NOT OPERATING CORRECTLY, THEY'RE USUALLY PRETTY PRETTY RESPONSIVE. SO, LIKE I SAID IT AS MUCH AS YOU CAN SQUEEZE OUT OF THERE, BUT I'LL GO CHECK THE THEIR THEIR NUMBERS ON THE LEFT TURNS. WE ARE ALSO LOOKING TO SEE. YOU KNOW, THERE'S THAT MEDIUM THERE.
IF THERE'S ANY POSSIBLE WAY WE CAN WORK WITH THE DEVELOPER. THEY OWN THAT LAND AND SEE IF WE CAN SQUEEZE ANOTHER LEFT TURN LANE OUT OF THERE. THERE'S NO ONE LEFT TURN LANE OUT OF WINDSONG TO GET ON 3 80. WE'RE TRYING TO SEE IF THERE'S ANY WAY WE WORK WITH WINDSONG, TOO.
CONSTRUCT ANOTHER LEFT TURN LANE THAT MIGHT HELP, YOU KNOW, GET A LOT OF COUPLE MORE CARS OUT EACH TIME. SO THAT IS KIND OF A LITTLE BIT MORE OF A SHORT TERM. A SOLUTION TO HELP THROUGH THERE. THEN ANOTHER PROJECT WE GOT ON THE HORIZON IS THE EXPANSION OF THE TEAL INTERSECTION SO THERE MAY BE ANOTHER WAY TO GET OUT. WE'VE ACQUIRED THE LAND FOR THAT TWO WEEKS AGO. FINALLY SO WE'VE GOT THE PLANS THAT FORBID THAT WILL ACTUALLY HAVE A FULL INTERSECTION ON OUR SIDE OF THE INTERSECTION OF TWO AND 3 80. SO THAT WILL BE FOR US, LISA. BIG IMPROVEMENT IN WHAT'S OUT THERE NOW DOES THAT CORRESPOND WITH MAKING THIEL FOUR LANES, THEN MAYBE IT'LL BE A FORWARD. IT WOULD BE A GOOD BIG PEOPLE BE A FOUR LANE WITH BILL LAUGHS. IT WILL BE A FULL INTERSECTION, AND ULTIMATELY IT WILL BE A FOUR LANE AS IT GOES ALL THE WAY UP THE FISH TRAP TO IMAGINE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS AN OPINION ON THEIR ABILITY TO GET OUT TO 3 80 IN THE MORNING BECAUSE THAT TRAFFIC BACKS WAY UP WAY PAST THE FIREHOUSE. YOU KNOW, SO I DON'T KNOW IF THEY'VE RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR ABILITY TO RESPOND OUT OF THERE AT CERTAIN
[00:35:01]
TIMES OF DAY. YEAH WE ACTUALLY HAD TO WORK WITH HIM. THEY HAVE A SOME EQUIPMENT NOW WHERE THEY CAN ACTUALLY TRIP THE SIGNAL. WHEN THEY HAVE TO GET OUT. THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT DID OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS BECAUSE YOU'RE RIGHT FOR A WHILE THERE, THEY WOULD GET OUT AND GET STUCK. SO THERE WE DID WORK WITH FRISCO TO GET SOME EQUIPMENT WHERE THEY CAME FROM THEIR FIREHOUSE. THEY'RE ABLE TO PUSH A BUTTON AND SET THAT SIGNAL OFF. SO BY THE TIME THEY GET IN THERE APPARATUS IN THEIR HEAD DOWN THERE. THAT SIGNAL SHOULD CLEAR IT OUT. SO IF YOU GOOD FRIENDS WITH ANYBODY FIRE DEPARTMENT YOU NEED TO GET THROUGH THERE DIDN'T GO. SO THAT'S JUST PROBABLY MORE TIME THAN I WAS ALLOTTED. BUT THAT JUST KIND OF QUICK OVERVIEW OF THINGS WE'VE DONE LIKE CHIEF SAID. WE'RE KIND OF HERE TO JUST GATHER. YOU KNOW MORE INFORMATION, BECAUSE I'M SURE THERE'S OTHER THINGS THAT ARE OCCURRING OUT THERE THAT WE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF. AND NOT JUST DENIED BUT AGAIN. ANY TIME AND LIKE, SAID MORE DATA YOU CAN GIVE US ON WHAT YOU'RE SEEING OUT THERE TIMES. DURATION IS THE BETTER. WHEN I MOVED HERE. SHE WAS A TWO LANE BUMPY DIRT ROAD. AND YOU CAN SIT OUTSIDE AND HEAR THE CHICKENS AND THE COWS EVERY MORNING, AND NOW I JUST HEAR CONSTRUCTION TRUCKS AND PEOPLE'S MUSIC AND PEOPLE WAVING AT ME AND SAYING HI FROM THE ROAD, SO IT'S A LITTLE FRUSTRATING. HAD NO IDEA IT WAS GOING TO DO THIS.I UNDERSTAND REAL QUICK BEFORE WE LET HUMAN TAKE A SEAT AND I GO BACK TO THE MAIN PODIUM MEMBERS OR ANYBODY ONLINE THAT HAS ANY QUESTIONS FOR HEALING WITH REGARDS TO THE ENGINEERING SIDE. OKAY? IF THEY CHANGE THEIR MIND. WOULD YOU JUST MAKE SURE WE KNOW SO WE CAN GET THEIR QUESTIONS ANSWERED TO YES, SIR. MA'AM. SO THAT'S WHAT I EXPECT THAT I EXPECT THAT MOST OF DIALOGUE IS REALLY GONNA YOU KNOW, IT'S GONNA SWIRL AROUND WHAT THE FUTURE LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE, BUT WE ALL LEAVE HERE AND GO SOME MORE STATS, BUT WE'VE MADE SOME NOTES UP HERE. WOULD YOU LOOK OVER THEM WITH US AND MAKE SURE WE DIDN'T TRANSCRIBE ANYTHING DOWN? IN INCORRECTLY, SO WE'RE GOING TO THE RIGHT AREAS AND WE WILL PERSONALLY CONTACT YOU. I'LL BE OUT THERE AND WE'LL WORK ON THIS TOGETHER AS FAR AS THAT ENFORCEMENT SIDE GOES. WE SHOW YOU SOME OF THE DATA REAL QUICK THAT GETS COLLECTED FROM THE SPEED TRAILERS. MY FIRST OF ALL, WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THE ENFORCEMENT SIDE. WE HAVE A DASHBOARD SYSTEM THAT ATTRACTS EVERYTHING. IT DOES IT MORE SO BY MINUTES, SO WE TRANSLATE THIS TWO HOURS SINCE WE'VE KICKED THIS INITIATIVE OFF. WE'RE PROBABLY ABOUT THE THIRD WEEKEND TO IT RIGHT NOW. WE'RE SITTING AT 30 PLUS HOURS OF ENFORCEMENT. I CAN TELL YOU MOST OF THAT ENFORCEMENT HAS TAKEN PLACE OVER IN THE WIND SOG RANCH AREA. IT'S JUST SEEMED TO WHAT WE HAD THE GREATEST AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS. WHAT YOU SEE ON THE SCREEN BEHIND ME IS YOU GOT TO DIFFERENT AREAS. THE PATROL DIVISION. THOSE WERE THAT'S COMPRISED OF THE MEN AND WOMEN THAT ANSWER ALL THE CALLS FOR SERVICE. SO BETWEEN CALLS FOR SERVICE THIS. THIS IS THEM DOING THE END THE ENFORCEMENT OUT THERE. WE DO HAVE A SMALL TRAFFIC UNIT THAT WE HOPE TO GROW SOON. BUT FOR RIGHT NOW, YOU KNOW THEY'RE ABLE TO DEDICATE SOME TIME OUT THERE AS WELL. WHAT COMES OUT OF THAT ENFORCEMENT OUT THERE. THIS DATA HERE IS DATED BACK TO MONDAY. THE NUMBERS ARE MUCH HIGHER RIGHT NOW, BUT 84 TRAFFIC STOPS 40 CITATIONS, 47 WRITTEN WARNINGS AND CONSENSUAL CONTEXT . LET ME TELL YOU WHAT A CONSENSUAL CONTACT IS. OKAY THAT'S PROBABLY AN OFFICER SIT IN THE STATIONARY REAL QUICK AND SOMEONE COMING UP AND MAYBE SAYING, HEY, THANKS FOR SPENDING SOME TIME OUT HERE. WE'VE HAD A LOT OF ISSUES OR SOMEONE MAY HAVE STOPPED THEM. ASK FOR DIRECTIONS OR MAY SAY, HEY, CAN YOU JUST HELP ME BECAUSE I'M STUCK IN TRAFFIC, BUT CONSENSUAL CONTACT BASICALLY MEANS IT WAS NOT AN END AND ENFORCEMENT ASPECT OF THINGS. TALKING ABOUT THE SPEED TRAVELER DATA. WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE WINDSONG WRENCH AREA. WE FIRST PUT IT OUT THERE. WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF CLOUDY DAYS. UNFORTUNATELY CLOUDY RAINY DAYS DON'T TRANSLATE TO A LOT OF SOLAR ENERGY TO KEEP THOSE THINGS SPUN UP AND RUNNING. SO A LITTLE LESS TIME THAT WE WANT OUT THERE, BUT ON AN AVERAGE WE'RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 3000 CARS WITHIN A 24 HOUR TIME FRAME. THAT PASSED WITHIN THAT 1100 BLOCK OF WINDSONG RANCH TO YOUR POINTS EARLIER, REMEMBER WILLING TO TALKING ABOUT THE DATA THAT'S COMING AT IT. WE'RE NOT TALKING ABOUT THE POSING DATA. CORRECT. SO YOU'RE GOING YOU'RE GOING TO THE DIRECTION OF LESS TRAFFIC BECAUSE GOING SOUTHBOUND LIKE YOU NEED TO TURN THAT THING AROUND NORTHBOUND BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE PROBLEM IS. WE ARE WE AGAIN. YOU YOU GET USED TO SEEING SPEED TRAILERS BECAUSE I CAN SAID EARLIER. ARE THEY IN EDUCATION PROCESS? YES THEY ARE. ARE THEY COLLECTING DATA? YES, THEY ARE. BUT WE'RE GOING TO BE MOVING THEM AROUND A LOT. WE REALLY NEED TO GET THE TWO NEW ONES IN WHICH WE'RE GRATEFUL TO DO THAT, AND YOU'LL SEE A MATTER A LOT A LOT MORE. AND IF I CAN'T
[00:40:04]
LAST DRESS. THAT'S ENOUGH. IF YOU SEE A SPEED TRAIN OR SOME WHEN YOU GO HEY, YOU KNOW WHAT? THAT'S REALLY NOT WHERE I THINK IT SHOULD BE. I SINCERELY GENUINELY MADE YOU TO SEND ME AN EMAIL. PICK UP THE TELEPHONE AND CALL ME. I PROMISE YOU WILL GET IT MOVED WHEREVER YOU THINK IT'S GOING TO HAVE THE BEST IMPACT RIGHT? TO THE POINT THAT YOU SAID EARLIER, MA'AM, YOU SAID SOMETHING THAT REALLY THAT REALLY TOUCHES MY HEART, OKAY? THE REALITY IS WE CAN STUDY DATA . WE CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS, BUT UNTIL WE'RE RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, YOU'RE CORRECT.WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THE FULL PERSPECTIVE THAT YOU DO, AND THAT'S WHY IT'S SO IMPORTANT.
YOU SHARE THAT INFORMATION WITH US SO WE CAN PIVOT OUR RESOURCES . MARLEY AND WE CAN ACTUALLY MAKE A DIFFERENCE FOR YOU. OKAY, LET'S GO BACK TO THE DATA HERE. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE WINDSONG BRANCH. THAT AVERAGE SPEED WAS 26.8. SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY GOING NO WAY WELL TO THIS GENTLEMAN'S POINT EARLIER. PEOPLE CAN SEE THAT TRADE WHEN IT PROBABLY DID SLOW THEM DOWN.
WE HAVE SOME OTHER EQUIPMENT THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE UTILIZING THE WAY BEST I CAN DESCRIBE. IT IS IF YOU'VE GOT A COUPLE OF DEVICES THAT GO ACROSS THE ROADWAY THAT FEED INTO A LITTLE BLACK BOX THAT WILL ALSO COLLECTED DATA FORCE. WE'RE LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT TIMING AND THE RIGHT LOCATION THAT WE CAN PUT THOSE BUT YOU'LL SEE. THOSE WILL BE FORTHCOMING TOO, AS WELL. ADD OR UNDER THE LIMIT WAS ABOUT 30% ABOUT 36% OF THOSE VEHICLES TRAFFICS AND OVER THE LIMIT WAS NO SURPRISE HERE. A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE WERE OVER THE AVERAGE SPEED MENTOR OVER THE SPEED LIMIT. HIGHEST RECORDS THAT WERE ABLE TO CAPTURE WAS ABOUT 3% THAT WAS BETWEEN 45 TO 49 MILES AN HOUR. YOU'LL SEE THAT'S REALLY CONSISTENT WITH STAR TRAVEL AS WELL. UH WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE STAR TRAIL DATA, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 43 79 IN TERMS OF TOTAL VEHICULAR TRAFFIC THAT PAST BUT THAT'S OVER A FIVE DAY TIMEFRAME WHERE WE HAVEN'T BROKEN THAT DATA DOWN TO JUST DAYS TRAFFIC AS WE GO TO ANALYZE THINGS, THEN WE'LL BREAK THAT DOWN MORE AS WELL. BUT YOU CAN SEE WHAT THE AVERAGE SPEED IS THERE 25.27 40% OF PEOPLE AT OR UNDER THE LIMIT AND AGAIN PRETTY CLOSE TO THAT 50.9 OR THAT 59.5. IN THE SAME RANGE AND THERE AS FAR AS THE 45 TO THE 49 BEING THE TOP SPEEDS ACHIEVED IN THERE, SO THIS IS SIMPLY JUST A SNAPSHOT OF THE DATA THAT WE CAN GET FROM THOSE SPEED TRAILERS. I CAN TELL YOU THAT IN THEIR DESIGN AND THEIR PURPOSE. THIS REALLY ISN'T WHAT IT'S MEANT FOR, BUT IT'S A BLESSING THAT IT DOES ALL THESE THINGS FOR US AS WELL. SO AND TO YOUR POINT EARLIER, SIR, ANY OF THIS DATA YOU WANT TO SEE? SEND ME AN EMAIL. I WILL SEND IT TO YOU. THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THAT IS THAT IS THAT IS CONFIDENTIAL.
IF YOU GET SOMETHING, AND YOU NEED SOMEONE TO HELP YOU TRANSLATE IT. WE HAVE A GREAT TRAFFIC UNIT. THEY'RE VERY INTELLIGENT WHEN IT COMES THAT DATA. AND THEY'LL HELP BREAK THAT DOWN FOR YOU. HMM THIS THING RIGHT IN HERE. THIS REALLY IS JUST KIND OF A RECAP OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAD TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, SO I'M JUST GONNA GO TO THIS NEXT SLIDE AND JUST KIND OF FINISH UP THE CONVERSATION. BUT FIRST WITH THAT QUESTIONS, YEAH, HANG ON, SO GOING BACK TO THE DATA. SPECIFICALLY THE WINDSONG DATA. DOES THAT TELL YOU THAT THERE'S A SPEEDING PROBLEM ON THAT ROAD? I WILL TELL YOU THAT. IT DEPENDS ON WHO YOU TALK TO. FROM AN OFFICER STANDPOINT, I WOULD SAY THAT THERE'S A SPEEDING PROBLEM AFTER THAT'S WHY YOU'LL CONTINUE TO SEE OFFICERS OUT THERE DOING THE ENFORCEMENT FROM AN ENGINEERING STANDPOINT, I CAN'T SPEAK TO WHAT THE TRUE CRITERIA IS FOR THEM TO ACTUALLY MAKE A CHANGE OUT THERE. I DON'T WANT TO SPEAK TO IT INCORRECTLY, BUT, UM, DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO THAT ABOUT WHAT? THE DATA POINTS LOOK LIKE? THAT SHOWS LIKE WHAT WE CALL AN 85TH PERCENTILE SPEED. DOES IT HAVE THAT ON THEIR EVERYBODY? I SUSPECT THAT THE DATA, YOU KNOW , YOU JUST LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS YOU KNOW, AVERAGES ARE IDEAL WITH DATA FOR LIVING RIGHT AVERAGES IS VERY POOR MEASURE OF SOMETHING. WHAT YOU WANT TO LOOK AT IS LIKE PERCENTILES, RIGHT? WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE 90TH PERCENTILE SPEED OCCURRING ON THAT ROAD? THE AVERAGE BEING OVER THE LIMIT BY 1.8 MILES AN HOUR ON SUCH A LOW LIMIT ROAD WHERE SIX OUT OF 10 CARS ARE OVER THE SPEED LIMIT TELLS YOU THAT PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING REALLY , REALLY SLOW ON THAT ROAD, WHERE IT'S DRAGGING OUT AVERAGE DOWN. PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY DOING NO LESS THAN 20 MILES AN HOUR ON THERE, SO FOR THE AVERAGE TO BE FOR THE NUMBER OF CARS TO BE 60% ARE OVER THE LIMIT THAT TELLS YOU THAT THE VAST MAJORITY OF THAT TRAFFIC IS EXCEEDING SPEED GOING OVER THAT SECTION OF RAID. OKAY? YES. SO. ME LOOKING AT THAT. THAT'S JUST SAYS THERE'S A PROBLEM WITH SPEED ON THIS ROAD THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, AND YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T ENFORCE 24 HOURS A DAY, SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. AND I, AND I BET YOU THAT THAT DATA IS GOING TO LOOK REMARKABLY WORSE WHEN YOU TURN THAT SPEED. INDICATOR AROUND THE OTHER. AND GET THE NORTH DONT TRACK. I THINK IT'S GONNA LEARN REMARKABLY WORSE WHENEVER WE GET MULTIPLE SPEED TRAILERS AND WE BEGIN TO AGGREGATE THE DATA AND WE CAN FURTHER DIVE INTO IT. I
[00:45:01]
THINK IT'S GOING TO SUBSTANTIATE EXACTLY WHAT YOU SEE OUT THERE. IS THAT YOU'VE GOT EXCESSIVE TRAFFIC AND THERE YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE DRIVING AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS. NO, IF ANDS OR BUTS SO IT'S A MATTER OF WHAT WHAT KIND OF IMPACT CAN WE MAKE WITH ENFORCEMENT. WE WILL CONTINUE TO BE OUT THERE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO RAMP THAT UP. WE CAN'T BE OUT THERE 24 HOURS A DAY, SO WE DO PIVOTAL BACK TO THE ENGINEERING SIDE OF THINGS. UH I CAN TELL YOU CAN LOOK AT LOTS OF SURROUNDING CITIES AND THINGS THAT THEY WERE DONE FROM TRAFFIC ISLANDS, ALL KINDS OF DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE WHAT WE MIGHT CONSIDER AESTHETICALLY PLEASING TO BE ABLE TO SLOW TRAFFIC DOWN.BUT THAT GETS INTO THE COMPREHENSIVE LONG TERM STRATEGIES FOR THE OVERARCHING DEVELOPMENT OUT THERE, SO I THINK THAT AS THEY DEVELOP THE ROADS, AND AS MORE TRAFFIC DEVICES COME IN, IT WAS SURELY SLOW PEOPLE DOWN BECAUSE THERE WILL BE MORE TRAFFIC COLLAPSE THAT WILL BE MORE FULL WAY. STOP SIGNS. OVER TIME AS WE DEVELOP THAT, THAT THAT INFRASTRUCTURE THERE'S LESS OF AN OPEN ROADWAY FOR SOMEONE TO BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THE SPEEDS THAT THEY ARE ACHIEVING. NOW I KNOW THAT'S NOT ANYTHING THAT YOU GET REALLY EXCITED ABOUT TONIGHT. BUT I DO WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT DYNASTY EXACTLY WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT AGAIN. THIS IS JUST THE INITIALS. COLLECTION OF DATA. IT'S GOING TO PAINT A PROBLEM THAT IS MUCH WORSE. IT'S GOING TO BASICALLY ILLUSTRATE NOT ONLY THE CONGESTION THAT YOU SEE UP THERE, BUT IT'S GOING TO VALIDATE THE SPEEDS THAT YOU BELIEVE YOU WERE WITNESSING. I THINK YOU WANT TO ADD THAT FROM ENGINEERING SIDE. THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION, SIR. IT DOES. BUT WHAT I WOULD EXPECT TO SEE IS THAT THIS DATA COMES IN RIGHT. WE'RE GOING TO START TO HAVE TO TALK ABOUT WHAT ARE THE MITIGATIONS THAT ENGINEERING IS GOING TO COME UP WITH. TO DEAL WITH THAT NOW, OBVIOUSLY PUTTING SPEED CONTROL INDICATORS OR SPEED INDICATORS IN THERE IS PROBABLY GOING TO INFLUENCE IT RIGHT. BUT I JUST WANT TO IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO UNDERSTAND LIKE WHAT IS THE CRITERIA FOR GETTING MORE TYPES OF CONTROL DEVICES. I E STOP SIGNS. PUT IN AND WHAT NEEDS TO WHO IS IN CONTROL OF THOSE DECISIONS AND WHAT DATA NEEDS TO SHOW TO GET THEM. JACK KNOWS, JACK. YOU KNOW THIS TOO WELL, DON'T YOU OVER THERE LIKES PROSPER. SO AS FAR AS YOU KNOW, WILL STOP SIGNS FOR ONE. YOU KNOW THEY HAVE SHOWN THOSE ARE NOT A DEVICE THAT REALLY CONTROLS SPEED. YOU KNOW , 50 PUT A STOP SIGN IN SOMEBODY'S GOING TO TRY TO READ UP AND SPEED UP TO MAKE UP LOST TIME. IF IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT'S WARRANTED, SO WHAT YOU GO THROUGH AS YOU GO THROUGH YOU FIRST. TRY TO HIT EDUCATION. I MEAN, HOPEFULLY YOU HAVE ENFORCEMENT PIECE THAT THE THAT THE PD IS TRYING TO DO NOW, THEN YOU GET INTO THAT EDUCATION PIECE. YOU TRY TO BLAST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN IN THE COMMUNITY. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY HAVE A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION. WOULDN'T YOU KNOW TRAFFIC THAT GOES OUT THERE TODAY, BUT YOU PROBABLY HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO LIVE OUT THERE, TOO. SO WHAT CAN WE DO ON THE EDUCATION PIECE TO LET PEOPLE KNOW? HEY THIS IS FOR YOUR NEIGHBORS. YOU KNOW, SLOW DOWN. HOPEFULLY SOME OF THE ENGINEERING PIECES WITH TELUS, PUTTING SOME OF THAT OTHER INTELLIGENCE STUFF OUT THERE MIGHT HELP AT LEAST PROVING SOME MORE AWARENESS TO THAT. BUT WHEN IT COMES DOWN TO TRUE TRAFFIC CALMING. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE LOOK FOR THE COMMUNITIES. UH PHYSICAL. THERE'S CONCERN OUT THERE. UH WE HAVE ACTUALLY WORK WITH THEM TO HAVE THEM FUN WITH JUST THE ANALYSIS OR THE TRAFFIC CALMING STUDY. I THINK WE LOOKED AT THAT AS A POTENTIAL OUTBREAKS OF PROSPEROUS THOUGHT. MAYBE A COUPLE $1000 AT THAT POINT TO DO THIS STUDY. AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING THAT THE THAT WE WILL WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY DO THE STUDY AND THAT THERE'S SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT THERE ARE RECOMMENDED THROUGH THERE AGAIN AS IT BE, YOU KNOW SOMETHING HARD, SOME SORT OF HEART IMPROVEMENT THERE LIKE YOU, CHIEF SAID. IF IT'S SOMETHING THAT NARROWS THE ROAD OR RUMBLES THE ROAD OR JUST SOMETHING THAT THAT BRINGS AWARENESS OF YOU KNOW THE DIS TRAFFIC CALMING OR SLOWING TRAFFIC DOWN. THOSE ARE THE KIND OF VICES THAT WE WOULD LOOK AT THROUGH THAT STUDY. WHAT IS YOUR QUESTION? THANK YOU, HELEN. ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT THE DATA. THERE'S A LOT MORE OF THAT TO COME. WE ALL GET DONE. WE'RE GOING TO BE REALLY IN A DAY WITH DATA, BUT WE'RE GOING TO ACT ON THE DATA. ANYTHING ONLINE REAL QUICK BEFORE WE MOVE TO THE NEXT SLIDE, MA'AM QUESTIONS NO, SIR. SO AGAIN. THIS IS JUST IT REALLY JUST KIND OF TALKS ABOUT. WE GOT SOME SPEED TRAILERS OUT THERE KIND OF WHERE WE HAD HIM PUT OUT. UM WE WE'VE GOT SOME DASH BOARDING SYSTEMS AT THE PD USES TO BE OVER THE CAPTURE THESE PROJECTS IF YOU WANT TO SIT DOWN AND VISIT ME, ACTUALLY WITH THE DASHBOARD LOOKS, LOOKS AND FEELS LIKE, UM AND THEN, UM, JUST THE TOTAL COMPREHENSIVE LIVE RECORDING OF THIS THIS ENTIRE PROJECT. IT'S KIND OF REALLY IMPORTANT. WE GO BACK TO WHEN WE STARTED OUT. WHAT BROUGHT US ALL HERE TOGETHER. TONIGHT WAS THE WILLINGNESS TO COME FORWARD AND YET HIGHLIGHT ANOTHER MAJOR
[00:50:04]
ISSUE THAT WE'RE TRYING TO DEAL WITH. WHEN WE TRY TO MANAGE GROWTH. YOU'VEU' GOT SOME VERY EXPERIENCED FOLKS THAT NO ONE IN THE FRONT ROWS UP HERE HAVE BEEN THROUGH THIS AND THEIR IMMEDIATE AREA. IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE WILL BE NO. SO WE'RE BOTH. THERE WILL BE NO MAGIC WAND THAT MAKES IT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. BUT WHAT MY COMMITMENT WITH THE PDS COMMITMENT IS AND I THINK THE TOWN AS AS AS A WHOLE WAS THAT WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER TO BE ABLE TO IMPROVE THE QUALITY OF LIFE THAT YOU HAVE OUT THERE NOW. THAT'S ONLY GONNA WORK IF WE CONTINUE TO DO THINGS JUST LIKE THIS RIGHT HERE WHEN WE WRAP THIS UP HERE AND JUST A COUPLE OF MINUTES. IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT IF YOU WOULD HAVE TO GET YOUR EMAIL, SIR, BUT LET ME SEE IF YOU'RE OKAY. SHARING YOUR EMAIL WITH ME. WE CAN HAVE CONVERSATIONS BACK AND FORTH. THE ONE THING LAST YEAR WITH PEOPLE ALL THE TIME IS YOU'RE CARRYING A HUGE BURDEN. YOU'RE CARRYING A HUGE BURDEN OF THINGS THAT ARE BOTHERING YOU. PLEASE DON'T DO THAT. PLEASE DON'T HANG ON TO IT. AND PLEASE DON'T KEEP IT SO CLOSE. YOU GOT TO GET IT TO ME SO WE CAN TAKE ACTION ON IT MAY NOT ALWAYS BE ABLE TO GIVE YOU THE ANSWER THAT YOU WANT AS FAST AS YOU WANT IT, BUT WE WILL GET THERE. YES, MA'AM, YOU GOT A QUESTION? I THINK ONE OF MY MAJOR CONCERNS IS IN THE EVENT OF A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.FIRE AND POLICE CANNOT GET THROUGH FISH TRAP AND G TO GET TO THAT EMERGENCY AND AT THAT CONCERNS ME IT CONCERNS ME. IT'S I HEAR POLICE GOING DOWN. HAVING NORTH ON G TWO THAT FISH TRAP INTERSECTION ALL THE TIME. AND YOU JUST HEAR THEIR SIRENS AND THEY'RE SITTING STILL BECAUSE THEY CAN'T GET THERE AND THAT'S A BIG CONCERN. WHAT IF IT WAS A MEDICAL EMERGENCY? WHAT IF IT WAS YOUR WIFE, YOUR CHILD, AND THEY COULDN'T GET THERE? YEAH. I CAN TELL YOU THAT FROM THE PROCESS OF POLICE DEPARTMENT AND ANY OF THE OFFICERS I WORKED WITH FROM SURROUNDING AGENCIES AS FAR AS THAT GOES ANY OF OUR PUBLIC SAFETY. WE ALWAYS TREAT IT LIKE IT WAS ONE OF OUR FAMILY. WE'RE DOING OUR VERY BEST WITH THE EQUIPMENT THAT WE GOT. AND THEN THE RESOURCES WE HAVE TO GET TO YOUR TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE TAKEN CARE OF. YOU HAVE MY WORD ON THAT MAN. SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT UNDERSTAND WHAT THAT PERSPECTIVE IS. SO CAN YOU TELL US WHAT THE ALLOCATION OF OURS FOR ENFORCEMENT ARE LIKE FOR THE AREA? HOW IS THAT? HOW WAS THAT DONE? IS THERE A SPECIFIC TARGET OF ENFORCEMENT PROVIDED A WEEK IS IT SPLIT AMONG SPECIFIC TIMES OF DAY? MAYBE THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SHARE SO THAT WE'RE GONNA I MEAN, NOT SHARE WHEN THEY'RE GOING TO BE THERE, BUT UNDERSTAND WHEN THE TARGETED ENFORCEMENT ENFORCEMENT HOURS ARE AND HOW MUCH TIME IS BEING DEDICATED. TO THEIR BECAUSE I THINK I SAW I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TIME SPAN OF THAT GRAPH AT TWO BAR GRAPH THAT YOU HAVE, AND IT LOOKED LIKE IT WAS 10 HOURS.
TRIAL OF DIRECT TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT, WHICH I'M ASSUMING IS SOMEONE BUT, YOU KNOW, SITTING ON PATROL TRYING TO IDENTIFY VIOLATORS. IT IS SO THE SHORT ANSWER IS YES, WE HAVE NO PROBLEM SHARING WITH YOUR NEIGHBORHOODS WHEN WE'RE GOING TO BE OUT THERE DOING IN ENFORCEMENT AND WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR, IF YOU DIE AGGRESSED OR WHAT WE SAID EARLIER ARE SO INTENDED TO GET THAT VOLUNTARY COMPLIANCE. WE DON'T WANT TO ISSUE A LOT OF A LOT OF CITATIONS. UH I CAN TELL YOU RIGHT NOW AS FAR AS SPECIFIC, NARROW TIME. FOR ENFORCEMENT. WE HAVEN'T NARROWED THAT DOWN YET, BUT WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FIRST COUPLE OF WEEKS YESTERDAY IN PATROL OFFICERS OUT THERE COLLECTING DATA. NOW WE'RE STARTING TO LOOK AND SAY, OKAY, WE TAKE THE DATA . WE TAKE THE FEEDBACK WE GOT FROM THE OFFICERS THAT WERE ACTUALLY OUT THERE DOING THE ENFORCEMENT. ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK FROM THIS GROUP ANYONE ELSE THAT WE CAN GET IT FROM, AND THAT STARTS US TO NARROW DOWN OUR FOCUS. SO WE CAN REALLY IMPACT THE MOST TROUBLESOME TIMEFRAMES. AND WE START WORKING ONE ON ONE WITH THESE LADIES HERE AND ANYONE ELSE THAT WANTS TO GIVE ME A PHONE CALL THAT WILL HELP US NARROW THAT TIMEFRAME DOWN, BUT I WILL SHARE ALL THAT DATA WITH MY QUESTION IS, IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE TARGETING ENFORCEMENT THERE, WHAT IS THE WHAT IS THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ENFORCEMENT YOU'VE DONE ON A PER WEEK BASIS IN THAT PARTICULAR NEIGHBORHOOD RELATIVE TO WHAT IT WAS. TWO OR THREE MONTHS AGO, SO WE CAN PULL THAT DATA FOR YOU. YOU DON'T HAVE IT READY TONIGHT, BUT I CAN DEFINITELY GET THAT DATA FOR YOU. I MEAN, I THINK IT'S JUST QUANTIFIES. THE LEVEL OF EFFORT TO POLICE DEPARTMENT IS MAKING HERE SO THAT WE CAN UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH ADDITIONAL ENFORCEMENT HAS PUT ON. I'M NOT LOOKING TO GIVE ADVANCED WARNING OF WHEN THE ENFORCEMENT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. IT'S MORE AROUND UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS, YOU KNOW, I SEE THAT THEY'RE THERE. IT FEELS LIKE THEY'RE MORE FREQUENTLY, RIGHT. BUT OBVIOUSLY YOU GUYS ARE GONNA HAVE DATA THAT THAT SAYS CORRECT IN IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. FIVE TIMES AS MUCH THIS LAST TWO WEEKS AS WE WERE THE PREVIOUS, YOU KNOW, TIME PERIOD OR WHATEVER THE NUMBER IS JUST TO HAVE A COMMUNITY UNDERSTAND THE LEVEL OF EFFORT YOU'RE PUTTING IN. YES, SIR. AIDEN WE'VE GOT ALL THAT DOWN. I WILL TELL YOU THAT WE WILL GET BACK TO THE OFFICE TOMORROW AND WE'LL START. WE'LL START WORKING ON THAT. AND I THINK BY THE MIDDLE OF NEXT WEEK WE CAN HAVE YOU THE DATA TO BUILD A STARE THAT STORY FOR YOU SO ANYTHING
[00:55:06]
YOU NEED LIKE THAT. JUST ASK. YES, MA'AM. OKAY SO I JUST HAVE TWO THINGS THAT I WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS LIKE THEM, UM, BACK UP TO THE ROAD. UM WHEN THE CITY DECIDED TO TAKE DOWN THE SCHOOL ZONE. UM WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED. THE REASON WHY THERE ARE NOT CHILDREN WALKING TO SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET ACROSS THE STREET. OKAY? THAT CREATED A SPEEDWAY. UM. I LIVE FURTHER DOWN ACROSS WATER HEADING TOWARDS CRACKER. AND THE EXCESSIVE SPEEDING THAT COMES FROM, UM FISH TRAP. GOING DOWN TOWARDS 3 80. IS ABSOLUTELY CRAZY. AT TIMES I HAVE LOST A TREE. BEHIND MY HOUSE. SOMEBODY HITTING IT. I HAVE SEEN CAR PARTS. ALL UP AND DOWN THE ROAD.SOME PEOPLE HAVING ACCIDENTS. UE WATCHING TV ABOUT 23 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING HEARD A CAR SPEEDING DOWN. AH G. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I HEARD THE WRECK. I CALLED THE POLICE. UM BUT. WE SEE THIS CONSTANTLY AND YOU KNOW? I WANT MY CHILD TO BE ABLE TO WALK TO SCHOOL IF HE WANTS TO. BUT I'M NOT GONNA LET HIM BECAUSE THE SIGN AS IT IS, IS NOT ADEQUATE AND IT WON'T BE ADEQUATE WHEN YOU ADD ANOTHER ONE THERE. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO TAKE A NOTE. UM I'VE WORKED FOR HOME BUILDERS FOR NINE YEARS. AND THE COMMUNITY THAT I WORKED FOR. HAD A CROSSWALK SIGN THAT LOOKS LIKE A TRAFFIC SIGNAL RUNS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE STREET. EXCUSE ME, RUNS ALL THE WAY ACROSS THE STREET. AND HAS SIGNALS RED SIGNALS OVER EACH OF THE LANES. AND IT MAKES PEOPLE STOP. THE ONE WE HAVE. NOT AT ALL. EVEN ON HALLOWEEN. WE ALMOST GOT RAN OVER. AND THERE'S KIDS RUNNING ALL OVER THE PLACE. SO UM I DESPERATELY WOULD IMPLORE. YOU ALSO LOOK INTO THAT BECAUSE THE EXISTING CROSSWALK SIGNAL IS NOT GOING TO BE ADEQUATE, ESPECIALLY WHEN WE WIDEN THE ROAD. UM, BUT THE SPEEDING IS REALLY, REALLY BAD AND I'M REALLY AFRAID IT'S GOING TO BE THE WORST WHEN WE WIDEN THE ROAD. I KNOW IT'S GOING TO HELP WITH TRAFFIC. SO I'M HAPPY ABOUT THAT. UM BUT THE SPEEDING IS VERY EXCESSIVE. WHEN THERE'S NOT TRAFFIC. I CAN ATTEST TO THAT. AT FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. YOU CAN HEAR THE CARS FROM FISH TRAP GOING TO 3 80 JUST HAULING IT. AND IT'S PRETTW MONEY THROUGH FRIDAY. SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT FIVE O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING. THERE WILL BE AN OFFICER THERE TOMORROW MORNING. SO YOU CAN TURN YOUR RING CAMERA ON THAT WE'LL SEE THAT ONE. FOR SURE TO SET AN ALARM. YOU CAN LAY THERE AND YOU CAN COUNT.
OKAY THAT'S IT'S FIVE. OKAY, IT'S FINE. OH IT'S TIME TO GET UP NOW, BECAUSE NOW THE CARS ARE JUST RACING. BUT WE'LL BE OUT THERE ON THAT AGAIN THAT THAT IS EXCELLENT FEEDBACK. I KNOW IT'S HEARTFELT WHENEVER YOU SHARE WITH US, BUT THAT'S THAT'S EXCELLENT FEMALE. YOU COUPLE THAT WITH DATA, YOU COUPLE THAT WITH THE ANECDOTAL THINGS THAT WE ALL KNOW FROM FROM WHAT WE SEE AND HELP US CREATE A BETTER STRATEGY. YES, MA'AM. ACTUALLY I WOULDN'T SUGGEST YOU WERE COMPLAINERS ARE RAPPERS AT ALL I WOULD. I WOULD ECHO THAT YOU'RE JUST CONCERNED THAT IS PERFECTLY FINE CAN BE OKAY. ALRIGHT, WELL REAL QUICK. WE HAVE BEEN HERE FOR WHAT? AROUND AN HOUR OR SO I'M HAPPY. YES, SIR. MAJOR THOROUGHFARE CRAFT, OKAY, ARE SUBDIVISIONS HAVE A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE SPEEDING PROBLEM? AND THEN OH, SUBDIVISIONS THROUGHOUT PROSPER. I WAS A PRESIDENT. FOR ABOUT FOUR YEARS. ANOTHER PRESIDENT. GET OUR NEIGHBORS. SLOW DOWN. YOU CAN PUT YOUR SIGNS UP. THEY SEE IT AND THEY SLOW DOWN FOR THAT DAY. NEXT DAY I'VE HAD SOMEBODY GOT ABOUT 50 MILES AN HOUR. DOWN CURTAIN, WHICH I CALL RACETRACK 11. LIKE CREOLE IS RACE TRACK, TOO. THE
[01:00:05]
PROBLEM IS, THERE'S NO STOP SIGN. STRAIGHT SHOT. JUST BARRELED UP. AND I DON'T WANT TO. DOGS, CATS, KIDS. IT'S THOROUGHFARES. I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS THAT BAD, AND I REALLY FEEL SAD. SNICKERS IN MIND. THEY'RE DEALING WITH IT. BUT STILL, THE SUBDIVISIONS ARE MAJOR MAJOR ISSUE ALSO. YEAH, I CAN TELL YOU THAT. I DON'T WANT TO USE THE WORD SKIRT BECAUSE THAT'S NOT THE RIGHT THING. WE RECEIVE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ON A REGULAR BASIS ABOUT ABOUT TRAFFIC. I'LL SHARE WITH YOU THE DASHBOARD. WE CAN DO IT THROUGH THE TEAMS ME AND I'LL SHOW YOU KIND OF HOW WE MANAGE ALL THESE THINGS AS THEY COME IN. AND WE SEND OUR OFFICERS THAT AS MUCH AS WE CAN TO DO THE TO DO THE ENFORCEMENT THAT'S THE TOWN GROWS, OUR FORCE WILL GROW AS WELL. WE'LL HAVE MORE RESOURCES THAT THAT WE CAN PUT OUT THERE, BUT WHAT WE'LL DO IS WE CONTINUE TO MOVE IT AROUND TO MAKE THE IMPACT. WE WANT TO START OUT. KIND OF LIKE WE'RE DOING WITH THE THIS THIS INITIATIVE NOW. LITTLE BIT OF CITATIONS OF EDUCATION WILL BE CITATIONS.ORBIT OF EDUCATION, THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THIS INITIATIVE HERE IS THAT EDUCATION PROCESS IS GOING TO SELL YOU BUT SURELY COME TO AN END. AND EVERYONE THAT GETS STOPPED IS GOING TO FEEL THE IMPACT OF GETTING A CITATION AS A COURTESY. WE ARE EDUCATING PEOPLE. BUT THAT WILL STOP AND IT WILL BE THE SAME THING WHEN WE GET BACK INTO THE NEIGHBORHOODS. GO AHEAD, SIR. DO YOU HAVE ANY, UM DATA THAT TELLS YOU HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU'RE PULLING OVER ARE WITHIN THE NEIGHBORHOOD VERSUS TRAVERSING THE NEIGHBORHOOD OR NOT.
PRESIDENTS OF THE AREA IT IS NOW WE'LL HAVE TO PULL THAT DATA OUT OF THE OUT OF THE COURT SYSTEM.
BUT WHEN YOU ISSUE A CITATION, YES, WELL, WE KNOW RIGHT OFF THE BAT IF YOU'RE A RESIDENT OR NOT, AND IT CAPTURES ALL THE FINITE DETAILS. OF ONE'S ADDRESS. AND, YES, WE CAN PULL THAT DATA TOO, AND THAT THAT HELPS US WITH THE EDUCATION PROCESS AND ALSO HELP US FOCUS WHEN WE'RE DOING THE ENFORCEMENT AS WELL. SO WHEN WE STARTED GOING TO HIT YOU WITH MORE AND MORE DATA, YOU CAN LOOK TO SEE THAT AS WELL. YES, SIR. WHAT YOU HAVE MENTIONED STOP SIGNS. B BUT NOT A GOOD DETERRENT. EXPLAIN. THINK ARE SUDDENLY. REALLY NEEDS SOME STOP SIGNS, PARTICULARLY AT KING'S TO YOU. WERE KEPT LIVES. YOU HAVE TO PULL OUT ON THE LAKE TRAIL. AND THERE'S BEEN SMALL ACCIDENTS ON YOUR MANY TIMES. BECAUSE THERE'S NO STOP SIGN ON. PUBLIC TRAIL. SAME THING ON KIRKWOOD SPRINT SHUT ALL THE WAY TO THE END OF AND I CAN'T SEE FOR PUTTING A COUPLE OF STOP SIGNS STOP MIGHT REALLY HELPED. BUT YOU KNOW YOU'RE THE ENGINEER. YOU LOOK NOT BASED SO. YOU WANNA MAKE MAKING LAKE TRAIL AND KING. FEW MAKE OUT A FOUR WAY STOP. YOU MIGHT SAVE SOME LIVES.
SPECTACULAR. AND WE CAN WE CAN UPLOAD AGAIN KIND OF A LITTLE BIT OUT OF MY WHEELHOUSE. BUT YOU KNOW, WE'VE HAD STUDIES THAT THEY'VE DONE AGAIN. I'M SURE EVERYBODY'S SEEN STOP SIGNS AND LOCATIONS WHERE YOU'RE LIKE, WHY IS IT A STOP SIGN HERE AND THEN YOU ACTUALLY DON'T STOP BECAUSE YOU'RE LIKE, WHY IS THERE A STOP SIGN HERE? THERE'S NO REASON TO STOP. SO THAT'S WHERE YOU'VE GOT TO BE CAREFUL. YOU COULDN'T START OFFICER GIVEN THE TICKET AND I WON'T TELL YOU ABOUT IT.
YOU KNOW, WE HAD EDUCATED COUNCIL MEMBER MANY YEARS AGO ABOUT ONE TO STOP SIGN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD. AND IT GOT TO A POINT FINALLY, WHERE THEY'RE, LIKE, TAKE IT OUT BECAUSE NOBODY STOPS THERE. YES JUST SO WE'VE GOTTA THAT'S LIKE, SO WE GOT TO GO THROUGH THOSE WORN ANALYSIS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY DO MEET THAT CRITERIA. YOU KNOW, I AGREE WITH YOU. YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD YOU KNOW, ADHERE TO THAT, BUT, YEAH, THEY JUST THEY DON'T SHE DON'T CRAIG HAS THE PROBLEM TO YOU. AND I KNOW I KNOW EVERY ALL OF THEM DO AND YOU'RE RIGHT. AND THE SAD THING IS IT'S NOT MY WIFE. IT'S MY NEIGHBORS.
ABSOLUTELY NOT ME. BECAUSE I HAVE MY WIFE TELLS ME, GRANDPA, I DRIVE VERY BOTH HAVE THAT PROBLEM, BUT THAT IT IS JUST YOU KNOW, IT'S ACTUALLY IT'S THAT EDUCATION PIECE. IT'S JUST HOW YOU KNOW HOW DO YOU HOW GREAT I THINK IT AGAIN. WINDSONG THERE'S SOME AREAS THAT HAVE THAT TRAFFIC THAT'S COMING FROM CONSTRUCTION AND YOU EXPERIENCE THAT FOR YEARS. THAT WILL LIGHTEN UP A LITTLE BIT. THAT'LL THAT'LL HELP. AND THEN HOW DO YOU ESPECIALLY IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD. HOW DO YOU JUST LET PEOPLE KNOW? I'M YOUR NEIGHBOR. YOU NEED TO SLOW DOWN.
SOMETIMES I WISH STOP SIGNS WITH THE ANSWER. AND YOU KNOW, I'VE JUST SEEN TOO MANY GO IN THAT HAD TO COME OUT. I KNOW PEOPLE HAVE ASKED FOR SPEED UPS. YOU KNOW, AND THAT'S JUST SOMETHING THAT THE TOWN DOESN'T DO. I'VE DONE THAT IN OTHER COMMUNITIES AS WELL. THAT'S A THAT'S A DETERRENT FOR EMERGENCY RESPONSE . SO UNFORTUNATELY, THAT'S NOT A DEVICE THAT WE HAVE AT OUR
[01:05:07]
DISPOSAL TO PUT IN TO ADDRESS THAT. IN THOSE JUST EDUCATION AND. I'D LIKE TO THROW TENNIS BALLS OR SOMETHING OUT IN THE ROADWAY. BUT THAT WOULD GET ME IN TROUBLE. YEAH. KIRK KIRK.WHAT'S A GOOD ONE TO YOUR PARK ON THE STREET? PEOPLE PARKING ON THE STREET. SOMETIMES THAT KIND OF HELPS, YOU KNOW, SIDE OF ME WHEN I WALK MY DOG WHAT YOU DO EVERY DAY SLOW DOWN. YES, NEIGHBORS. SO AGAIN. WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR ABOUT AN HOUR OR SO. I'M HAPPY TO STAY AS LONG AS YOU WANT TO STAY THIS SEASON, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT'S PRODUCTIVE FOR EVERYONE. SO THERE'S REALLY NOTHING ELSE FROM THE PD FOR US TO PRESENT TO YOU OTHER THAN SPECIAL. THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT. UH I HOPE YOU'LL KEEP THIS ENGAGEMENT GOING ON ALONG ALONG WITH THIS. I HOPE YOU'LL SHARE THE INFORMATION WITH US. MY COMMITMENTS WILL ACT ON IT AND WE KEEP INFORMED AS TO WHAT THE OUTCOMES ARE OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS, SO I'LL OPEN UP FOR QUESTIONS ONE MORE TIME.
BEFORE WE KIND OF WRAP THINGS UP. SIR. YOUNG LADIES IN THE BACK ROOM. THE WISE GENTLEMAN IN THE FRONT ROW. NO, WE'RE GOOD. YOU'VE GOT LOTS OF QUESTIONS FOR ME. WE'LL WE'LL ANSWER THOSE PARTICULAR QUESTIONS SO SOME OF YOU WERE CARVING UP, I THINK TO WRITE DOWN SOME CONTACT.
INFORMATION FOR US WILL CUE THAT UP INTO A DISTRIBUTION LIST TOMORROW. I'LL SEND IT OUT IF IT'S OKAY IF I PUT YOU ON THAT DISTRIBUTION LISTS. ALSO IT'LL BE EASIER IF I CREATE A DISTRIBUTION LIST FOR THIS CORE GROUP. ONCE WE START THIS FEEL FREE TO ADD ANYBODY YOU WANT TO IF THEY WANT TO BE ON THE DISTRIBUTION LIST. THEY CAN LET ME KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO WANT TO DO IS STILL A FEW MORE MINUTES FROM YOU. AND THEN I LIKE FOR YOU YOUNG LADIES TO LOOK AT THE NOTES THAT WE TOOK TO MAKE SURE WE HAVEN'T MISSED ANYTHING. AND FOR YOU, SIR, I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE TALK ABOUT DATA POINTS AND MATRIX SO THAT WE'RE GIVING YOU SOMETHING ACTUALLY MAKES SENSE TO YOU THAT SOUND GOOD. SO FOR THOSE THAT ARE ONLINE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR JOINING US AND THOSE THAT CAME IN PERSON SPECIAL THANKS TO YOU ALL AS WELL. THANK YOU
