City Council - Regular Meeting

Hi, thanks for going through this. We know there's been a lot of community interest in particularly the downtown station, but also this move, this consideration of whether a move away from Hub and Spoke to a more gridded system, as you called it, is the right move for the system today. So I appreciate you going back over that. In each of these things, you outlined the timeline. Are they proceeding on parallel tracks or in sequence?

Yeah, I think for community interest, I think the community would prioritize this one, so I'll just flag that. And is this one, the downtown transit facilities, at our retreat you highlighted that we serve six million buses go through our station and two go through the Go Triangle station or something like that?

So a staggering difference. So that step, the downtown transit facilities part, that is where we would evaluate if it might be appropriate to distribute some of the lines over to that one.

One last one for me, and then I'll make the motion. It's just that if folks who are interested in the outcomes of these studies, should we expect that we'll see you back at this podium in nine months?

Great, thank you so much, I appreciate it. And so with all of that, I will move to authorize the city manager to, whatever you need me, move to authorize the thing.

So Taisha, just for clarification, if we look at number two, the full board can agree to meet in person, but allow the subcommittee to meet virtually.

I'm happy to make a motion. Yeah, I appreciate this opportunity. I appreciate you evaluating it. You know, these are volunteers, and I think some of these subcommittees have like two and three people on them, and I think offering these Volunteers and staff more flexibility and how these subcommittees are meeting will just facilitate the flow of their work more easily and so I would motion to proceed with option two which allows the Subcommittees to meet differently than their parent commission second All right all in favor that motion aye aye all opposed nay, and that is unanimous.

I did have a question. When will we see the bridge, did you say with the timeline?

All right, well, motion to authorize the execution of the First Amendment.

Hi, Philip. Thanks for being here today. I just wanted to thank you for all of the work that the commission does across the community, and thank you for being here today. I did just want to make note that I am in receipt of your universal design proposal, and I've shared it with some relevant staff members, so I hope I can help the commission in the year ahead move forward that conversation.

My question was on universal design, so since my colleague mentioned it, I will pass.

So fast. I just have my office hours next Wednesday the 14th at Bedford Food and Drink, 6 to 8 PM. We moved so fast, that's all I got. Okay.

Move to uphold the chairperson's request for removal of Mr. Thomas and elevate John Evans to the position and declare an alternate vacancy. And then I'd also like to nominate Rachel Abbott for that alternate vacancy slot.
