 But it is 5.30 and I will be calling the public perks meeting to order. I'll start out with a roll call, all the person deckers here, all the person item. All the person, Remy. Here. All the person Salazar. Here. All the person Rust. Here. Okay, everyone's here, look. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Okay, I think we can skip the introductions of committee members and staff. Everyone knows everyone here. So we'll start, we'll go right to number five approval minutes from January 24th. I move to approve the minutes. Second. Motion made and seconded. Any discussion on those minutes? All in favor? Aye. Opposed? Chair votes aye. Those are approved. Number six. Resolution number 132-2223, February 6th, 2023. Resolution authorizing the appropriate city officials to enter into a contract with JT Engineering Incorporated for design services related to the Taylor Drive and Wilgus Avenue intersection. I have a picture of it right up there. Mr. Chairman, if it's all right with you. It was recorded. I know you get it. We heard it saying it. Yes. Okay. Okay. This is like David has approved. This is the intersection of Wilgus and Taylor Drive, which I assume I'm sure everyone's familiar with. In the capital improvements for next year, 2024, which was approved by the common council, is the reconstruction of this intersection for obvious reasons. It's just, it's just, it needs to be upgraded. It's all the radius is for all moving vehicles are way too small. It's not pedestrian friendly. I think some right hand turn lanes, for instance, if you're coming eastbound on Wilgus Avenue, probably next to the movie theater, I think there needs to be a right hand turn lane. Kind of in a blue car is right there. That's, I'm just thinking that's probably what's got to be done. And the equipment is very, very dated. What is this about 30 years old? Yes. Things failing underground. Yeah. Just this intersection just, it just needs to be upgraded. And so that's the, we have it for construction 2024. So that's why we want to get on further design right now for the intersection. And when it comes to designing an intersection like this with the signals and new radiuses, it's a specialty. That's why you want to bring a consultant on this intersection, try to get the design done this summer and then put it out like next winter or next fall for construction in 2024. This will have the newer style signal with the larger arms and you'll have the two signal heads vertically over both lanes. Have you been seeing more and more common? So it'll be upgraded. And again, we have some, some pedestrian access, but yeah, it really needs to be upgraded. There's, I don't believe, do we have push buttons out here? I believe so. Most of them don't work because we have the wrong wires to keep everything else going. That's what's happening. I remember putting this intersection in Mike. I don't think we had enough conductors back then for even the left turn signals. So you were talking about pedestrian. Are you going to also consider sort of like other pedestrian bike lanes? They're going to be some port of bike access. But there's like, you know, you've got that thing down on Taylor. A lot of people might this way. Yeah, well, that's definitely something we'll take a look at. I live over in this area. And every, every, every, this mayor has got put in, you see a lot more pedestrian traffic down here and we need to make that connection a lot better. And I'm sure there's some kind of bicycle lanes or some very minimal sidewalks. Yeah, sidewalks. Cause there is sidewalks in front of, I noticed in front of Panera and Meyer, which I find really interesting because I'm like, I'm using the sidewalks, but I guess once you, if you put sidewalks here, the likelihood of people walking would make a lot more sense. And also I believe David told me if I'm wrong, I think in 2024 the intersection by the DOT is getting done at Taylor and 23 just to the south. So then that'll all kind of tie in together. Both these ramp signals, this one and the one to the south of the bridge, those are being upgraded to as well as part of the DOT who are funding majority of that. Right. So this whole section of y'all. Yeah. You got to look at pedestrian here. Right here, you got a pedestrian trying to cross, but there's no walk or don't walk signal. Yeah. Yeah. So we do get a lot of traffic back and forth. It was really, I mean, when the mall was really going, that was part of it was with the movie theater kids going back and forth to the mall in between. Can you do it? Yeah, I echo what Amanda says a lot too. Like any kind of like this kind of construction, if we could make it pedestrian and like friendly, that's good. And then you have to see for crossing signals to calm down and all that. Oh, yeah. Do they make the noise now? Do you think so? Yeah. Yeah. Yes. There's some of the push buttons as well. Yeah. For the handicapped. Yeah, yeah. Kind of unrelated. So these are actually going by the state that these signals. So do we, do we maintain them for the state that? Okay. So it's state will install and put them in. And if something's wrong with them, it's really up to us to city to maintain them. Okay. But in terms of future upgrades and so forth, they'll maintain our paid costs. And for instance, also if we feel there's additional sidewalk needs to be added, we just pick up that cost. They feel it's above and beyond what they're liable for. Okay. It's a good program. Yeah. Go ahead. Thank you. Is there anything underneath the ground that we have to worry about? But now that we have it all ripped up and you're going to redesign it, is there anything underneath that should? Yeah. So that we need to change? Yes. Paid in the dam. Okay. So. Conduids, new wiring. That'll be all part of it. Not sewer, not sewer, water, no. Well, that will be, that will be, we'll look at the televising, but we're not getting into that section of payment. Are we looking at doing a complete reconstructors this month? Mainly just signals. At the end of, no, I think, especially, you know, I think, I think especially at Wilgus and Taylor, you're going to see the intersection. We'll look at the Wilgus and Taylor, bro. Like right here, we know. Right here. This way. Turn this way. And look at these babies right there. Those faces. They're bad. You got to get those fixed. Yeah. Yeah. And again, that would fall back in the city. Right. Any kind of sanitary. That type of stuff. Yes. We'll look at the underground sanitary storm. Yeah. Make sure. The last thing you want to happen is. Right. We rip it all up. We're back and something happens. We're going to rip it up all over. It's not good. That doesn't look good. Joe. Joe. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. Never happened. I moved here to prove. I'll second it. I made a second in any other discussion. All in favor. Aye. If you opposed, share votes. Aye. That is proved. Okay. We're on number seven. Any other motion. Either. I move here. Take a vote. Okay. All in favor? Aye. Aye. Okay. All in favor? Aye. Okay. All in favor? Okay, you're adjourned. Thank you.
