“What we're talking about here is limited to a very specific area of the city, not the entire area of the city itself, but two areas that were mapped out earlier.”

“So what I'm wondering here is, I'm looking at the map. It's a small area. And are we thinking, if we want to get this into the general plan and clean up the amendments a little bit, is this kind of being used, what I'm thinking, as a template for something further down the road? Or is this simply to this very small area is kind of where my head's at right now. That's what I'm wondering because there's a whole lot of stuff and stuff that needs to be brought in to the general plan, I get that. But it's only specific to this area that we're talking about right now.”

“What I'm getting out of this, where my mind went, was air rights in Manhattan on a microcosm. But it's kind of the same concept.”

“Commissioner Roach? So I have a few questions. And I know this is just a sip, but look, if we can't get it now, when do we get it? Couple of questions dialing way back to the projects that have been gone, going Novato, Boulevard in particular, between DeLong and 7th. I'll believe it when I see it. Okay. Is that going to be completed this year? No, sir. Okay. I have a really hard time that we can't even get some sidewalks in for people that need them more than anybody. I see people, ladies, pushing their kids in strollers. And the city comes across, as far as I'm concerned, as indifferent to…”

“Do we see any more houses being taken or not?”

“It's not directed to you, but it's just nuts as far as I can see it. And that's really how I stand. On that three-way, we're talking about three lanes, is there going to be an island with a curb in the middle? Or is it just going to be flat? And if we're talking about white paths, is that going to just be a line painted on the road? Or is there going to be a designated path there? Same thing holds true for sidewalks. I mean, this is years on. I've lived in this city for 15 years. I lived on the corner of Pine and Nevada Boulevard. I know it. And I just don't get it. And it's frustrating to…”

“So elementary school kids ride their bikes on that road to school in the morning. I just don't get it. And that's where I stand with it. Two years, wow. I tell you what, six months should have been done. Where are we going jumping forward? There were three other outstanding ones. How long has this been in play? For 10 years is it? When did it finally get going and when was the study? And I tell you what, when I heard all these commit, we're going to do a study for $300,000, another study for $300,000 when I was listening to this and I'm thinking, wait a minute, are all of those studies for…”

“And is that where the road narrows to one lane?”

“But OK, so with that and the Spirit River that you're talking about there, we're holding off because the impact of what you're talking about there is all along there? Or where are we going with this?”

“So with that said, is it asking too much that we have to wait for this study, a $300,000 study, to get crosswalks at San Andreas and San Marin? That is just so base. And is that going to hold up even taking these most basic and elemental measures to make common sense approaches to that street?”

“Right, action like a crosswalk painted. That's not asking too much. And when we're doing these initiatives, we're going to be asked to approve here tonight. It just, come on, man. Okay, powers that be. That's where it's at. Big picture, I get it. But Simmons, there's the study. I don't see $300,000 to remedy the obvious, and it sounds like we're not gonna have anything happen at a basic intersection, which is San Andreas and San Marin that we're talking about, if we're talking about high school and stuff, let alone the people that we need to cross that road, which is a very wide road. And I…”
