I certainly regret the extra traffic and frustration that the First Avenue water main replacement project is causing you and your neighbors. I can assure we are working with the contractor to move as expeditiously as possible to re -open First Avenue. I will follow-up with our staff on your concerns of speeding and not stopping at the stop signs. I will also have someone in our Police Department contact you about the larger public safety concerns that you have. The Police Department is working extremely hard and finding success in addressing some of the concerns that you have mentioned in your email. Extra resources have been dedicated to the larger neighborhood this summer. Again, someone will reach out to you so that your questions and concerns can be addressed in greater detail. Thank you again for writing. We will continue to work hard to address all of the items you have noted in your email. Sincerely, Geoff Fruin City Manager From: Drop, Ann M <ann-drop@uiowa.edu> Sent: Thursday, July 11, 2019 4:36 PM To: Council <Council@iowa-city.org> Subject: road construction and police department I am writing to express concern about two issues that are affecting our neighborhood. 1) Road construction that is tying up 1st and 2nd Avenues between Court Street and Friendship Street. The traffic has recently been redirected to 3rd Avenue as the work is being done. The change of the traffic pattern has caused problems on 3rd Avenue. Our street is a quiet one. Cars that do come down it areon the street come with a destination. Now both city buses and cars travel down the street well over the 25mph speed limit; often not stopping at the stop sign on 3rd and Friendship. Three people in the neighborhood have called the police station over the past week and two calls have been made to the bus depot. All calls have asked for help in getting the traffic to slow down so the people are on our 2 blocks are safe but we have not seen an interest on the part of the city to help. One caller was told that the expense of either a police presence or a sign like those on 7th Avenue had not been written into the budget of this project. With no city workers on site for over a day it seems the project will go on past the July 15th end day that is stated online. 2) The increase in criminal activity that has been seen on the South/Southeast part of town since the closing of the police station in the Pepperwood Mall area is a safety concern. Shooting of car windows, shootings into the air at Mercer Park, the large number of bike thefts that people report to the police but that the police refuse to address is not acceptable. These are real problems we are living with and we are all trying to understand why no one at the city level/in the police department is concerned about them. In our neighborhood, people talk to each other and everyone is worried about their safety. I hope you can all look into these problems and come to soem real time help for our neighborhoods on this this of town. Ann Marie Drop 511 3rd Avenue Iowa City 52245 319-330-1537 Item Number: 8.b.

I was disappointed to be disturbed in the peace and quiet of my own home by city -sanctioned fireworks on July 20. Quiet is an important social good. We need quiet to enjoy our lives. Noise harms us and reduces the quality of our lives. The air is part of our commons, something shared. When people put noise in the air, they are polluting the commons. Throughout the day, we must put up with noise from lawnmowers, weed trimmers, leaf blowers, lawn edgers, construction equipment, traffic, planes, sirens, et cet. Evening is when we have quiet for activities that require it. Fireworks used to be used only on the Fourth of July. In recent years, they have become common at many kinds of events throughout the year. More distressing is the trend toward noisy fireworks and away from tall, pretty, quiet fireworks. More and more now, fireworks are just noise for the sake of noise. Why would you want to impose that on the citizens of Iowa City who are sitting quietly in their own homes? Why should such a cost be imposed on us so that a few people can enjoy fireworks live? I am not choosing to pay that cost and I resent having it imposed on me. I moved here in May from a noisier city where one year I was disturbed by noisy fireworks eight times in a five- month period and was once shaken from by bed at 10:30 p.m. by booming fireworks that sounded like bombs going off right above my house. I was pleased when I learned that Iowa City prohibits fireworks and issues fines to people for using them. Although my sleep was disturbed on two or three nights around the Fourth of July, the noise was not as bad as what I have usually experienced. Yay! One more reason to feel good about moving here. But what's the point of prohibiting fireworks by citizens if you're just going to allow fireworks displays that are so noisy that they enter everyone's living room throughout the city? On July loth? Just two weeks from the last noisy fireworks? How often is the noise of fireworks going to come into my home? Restricting fireworks to the Fourth of July would be a reasonable compromise between tradition and respect for residents. Thank you for considering my suggestion. regards, Rick Marolt Item Number: 8.f. i CITY OE IOWA CITY www.icgov.org August 6, 2019 ATTACHMENTS: Description Email to Council: Form Based Codes: Nancy Purington Kellie Fruehling From: Nancy Purington <nancypurington@gmail.com> Sent: Wednesday, July 24, 2019 7:21 PM To: Council Subject: Form -Based Codes Great presentation and discussion this evening on Form -Based Codes. Thank you. As a citizen whose neighborhood is currently involved in big changes this was a refreshing discourse about a much needed practice. As citizens, developers, commissioners, counselors and staff we need a common code, language, to use when comparing and contrasting elements of city planning, design and construction concepts at work to build and renovate successful neighborhoods. When speaking the same language we reduce confusion and bring about understanding. I find that the most problematic aspect in communication when talking to staff, commissioners and councilors regarding a common issue is the absence of common understanding. It does seem like a Tower of Babel. Everyone has a different perception or interpretation of the issues, and my assessment process cannot make sense from the lack of consensus. I mentioned once the "Office of Circumlocution" when describing my experience in this realm. Tonight I see that it is a common experience on both sides of the table. I hope you can find a fast track to including these concepts into your City Planning practices for all to benefit. Thank you all for your service. Nancy L.

Washington Street Iowa City, Iowa 52240 Mayor Throgmorton and Council, The Iowa City Downtown District (ICDD) would like to thank the City of Iowa City and Council for the ongoing support and investment to the placemaking efforts in downtown over the past three years. These efforts have proven to be a powerful way to shape and create dynamic, healthy activation of spaces, with a primary focus on the Black Hawk Mini Park. We wanted to provide City staff and Council some updates and insights into planned efforts for the space For 2019, the final renovations were completed in June and shortly after Black Hawk Mini Park reopened, we started our placemaking efforts in the space that combined "Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper" methods and some temporary amenities. Based on survey results, feedback from community members and our own experience with the space, seating, shade and amenities that "soften" the area are still a priority. In an effort to answer these needs, we have installed six picnic tables that were locally designed and built to provide accessible and unique seating options. In the last week, the picnic tables have also provided a paid artist opportunity, and now act as another public art feature. Additionally, new moveable planters were constructed to match new aesthetic of the space and add another dimension of landscaping for the park. The larger project underway for the space is a seasonal shade structure designed by Martin Gardner Architecture and fabricated by City Construction. This structure could be placed in the space year after year from Spring until Fall. The design is an original and thoughtful piece that will provide the much needed shade and even more landscaping opportunities. The new temporary shade structure will be a beautiful yet non-invasive structure that will leave plenty of free and open space for other uses in the space. Attached is a rendering of the shade structure to be installed in the space, Spring 2020. As for the future of the placemaking efforts, as an organization, we are thrilled to continue this important activation and believe through the lessons of the past three years, we have the ability to have an even larger impact with larger projects revolving through the space each year.

Your letter is very timely — the City is about to embark on a comprehensive operations analysis of the entire transit system. We will be reviewing all routes, stops, service areas, fares, and hours of operation to see how the City can enhance service for a greater number of residents. The study is expected to begin after the University and School District commence activities this fall. There will be multiple opportunities for public input and I strongly encourage you to get involved and weigh in throughout the process, which will take the better part of the year to complete. We will ensure your comments are considered in the process. In the meantime, I will add your contact information to our list of interested parties so that we can keep you apprised throughout the study.

Thank you so much for your time, and please let me know if this format is not feasible for you! Best, Adin Herr Intern, Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County adinherr@Rmail.com Dear City Council of Iowa City, My name is Adin Herr and I recently graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in social work. I recently finished a practicum at Neighborhood Centers of Johnson County, where I was responsible for the implementation of the YES! Program. Several of our youth lived in mobile home parks without an accessible bus line, so I was responsible to drive them back and forth for programming three times a week. To my knowledge, there are twelve mobile home neighborhoods in the area. Most of them are within a ten-minute walk of a bus stop. However, the Lake Ridge, Breckenridge Estates, Sunrise Village, and Modern Manor are notable exceptions. Those living in Lake Ridge apartments have to walk for 15 minutes and cross a busy highway. The nearest stop to Breckenridge is a 40 - minute walk for 40 minutes down the highway. If stops 8341, 7607, and 7609 were utilized, Sunrise Village and Modern Manor residents could reduce their 20 -minute walk to 10 minutes. Given that many residents of manufactured housing have a lower income and cannot always afford automobiles, it is essential that they should be able to access public transportation. For children and elderly folks, walking for twenty minutes or across a highway is not feasible. All of these residents, even Breckenridge, are valuable members of the Iowa City community. Treating them accordingly means they should have access to affordable public transportation, whether they live inside of city limits or not. For the sake of kids and parents I spent my summer working with and future residents of these neighborhoods, please consider the following: • Using stop 8331, 7606, or 7609 on an active bus route. Even if it is not "used enough", it is better for residents of Sunrise Village and Modern Manor to have access to affordable transportation than no access at all. • Placing a stop near Lake Ridge, eliminating the necessity for residents crossing or walking along the highway. This condition is unsafe, and Westport Plaza passing through Lake Ridge would not significantly delay its arrival at stop 8022 across HWY 6. • Running a bus line, or shuttle bus out to Breckenridge Estates three times a day. The residents are valuable, working members of the Iowa City community who live out there because the cost of living is cheaper. Because they are a lower income community, they would benefit greatly from a bus line or daily shuttle. Having a regular bus gives adults the chance to work, run errands without an automobile, and children the chance to do something during the summer time. Please help the residents of these communities improve their quality of life by providing access to transportation, an opportunity many of them do not currently have. Thank you so much for your time. I am able to offer more information and statistics if you desire and am proud to be a resident of the Iowa City community!
