“I have a couple of questions before we wrap up. The first was in the first section, I was curious with the new employee parking lot, how many spaces is that going to be able to accommodate?”

“Okay, great. And then perhaps a bit of a clarifying question. When you guys referenced in the I Street project some of the issues and concerns, speeding was one of them. You had also noted cars leaving the road. Are people trying to send it? Like are they launching their vehicles or what does that mean?”

“My question would follow what we heard from Councilmember Sturgis. In the space of the private property owners that might be affected by the repairs, do you know how many parcels that is along the designated area?”

“And then with that, if there's a property owner that wants to be included in the city project for repair, how would payment work for that individual? Would they need to pay up front? Do they have installment plans? What are those options for those individuals?”

“and then from my own standpoint i was going to say i'm very excited to see the considerations for biking uh incorporated into the high street project i think as with most people if you only get three choices on a survey uh in your biking you want people not to be speeding right next to you so i think that that speeding likely entails um both bicycle and pedestrian safety as much as anything. When we add that section that you had shown, I think you said it would be connecting that last portion up by, I think it's Copper Gate. Yes. Will that give us a full connection all the way down to 15th or…”

“And then on the image that you have on the slide that shows filling in the pedestrian bike gaps, I think it shows a six-foot two-way bike lane and then a two-foot gap. And zooming in a lot, it looks like there's a little something. Is there going to be... In the buffer?”

“Great. I think that always makes a big difference for people who are trying to bike in and around and near traffic, feeling a little bit safer. So that's really great to see. And then I had had a resident actually take me through on I Street and show me a biking enthusiast who was saying, look how nice this is. Look at these trees through here. You know, this could be a really great asset for people who want to be able to do more transit that way. So they seem like great improvements. Thank you. Council, any last questions?”

“that I had had on the bridge repairs when you said that there was kind of a set of things that needed to be corrected. Some could be handled by staff, and some would need to be completed by a contractor. Are there any that would shut down the bridge during repairs, or will it be able to stay open?”

“All right, if there's no other questions, I have one last piece, which is I was also excited to see the cricket field being added into the mix. Having played one season fairly poorly, I used to have to go all the way out to Redmond to be able to play in practice. So being able to have that in our region and in our area for our community I think would be really nice. And even if I wasn't good at it, it's actually quite a lot of fun. especially when you get to be a batsman. Council doesn't have any other questions. This was a great update. Thank you for compiling all of the many, many projects…”
