Jerr Davld.onl Thank you Mr. Mayor. lam aolngl~ be very brier on my remarks and Ihen ellborale on anYlhlnglhal you would like me 10 elaboralo on. I am sure Ihal by lhl.lime you are gelling qulle ramlllar wllh Ihe Issue al hand. As Ihe MIYor Indlcaled, on Ihe 21s1 you received your Inlllallnformlllon aboullhls. You directed us al Ihllllme 10 pUII08elher Informallon on Ihe npense Involved wllh Ihe varlou. allernallves. Tho public works Ilafr has done Ihlland you have received II. In addlllon you seolhe renderings here which give some more Ipeclflc Inrormallon. Especially wllh respecllo dwelling unlls Ihal would need 10 be removed ror Ihese IWO specific allernallves. To rellerale or lusllO .Iarl. The Issues Ihal.lafr were given Involve \WO 1~lngs. One Is Ihe bridge on Summll 51. and Ihe prospeclor Ihll bridge reaching Ihe end 0( lis userul lICe wllhln approllmalely rour year.. Basically trying to .Iay ahead or Ihat Issue and allow ror an orderly procell to replaco that .Iructure or whalever council would lubsequenlly decide. Secondly, we were requested to look Inlo the Issue or traffic on Summit 51. This requell came rrom a neighborhood group ropresenllng Sum mil 511hal mado desire known to council and counclllhen directed slafr 10 look Inlo Ihal. 50 theso are Ihe lWO points Ihal we keep coming back 10 as a reason slarr conducled the study. A couple or clarlrlcallons first orr to Ihe Informallon you did receive. Thele are Ihlngl thai have beon broughl up In discussion wllh Iho neighborhood groups thll provlous wook. I thought ror council's beneflll would lust very briefly go Ihrough Ihom. AI the discussion on tho 21111 bollevo I said at that lime that our underslandlng and looking vory preliminarily allho allornallvos was Ihllllhe cosl esllmales we rell were In Ihe same raoge. Now Ihe , . . , I . 'I I , . 1 . I, I , I " " rl ,/f . Zt fl. -,' . ~ _ :J C _ '5 page 2 i t ~ \ I I I I I I ; I I I Inrnrmatlon that you have received Indicates that there Is lome variation and especially with the Seventh Ave. alternative there Is quite a bit higher cost. than we had anticipated. Thl.1s do .pecltlcally to the need to relocate rather Ihan lUll movo ovor Iho la..III. .ub.tatlo., equlpmentlhat wa.there. Thalli aboutthreo quarters or the elpense for that alternative now and pUlllln a sllghlly dltferent light for you. or the remaining alternlllve.IhereIs cerlalnly a range or elpenle which I am sure Is a concern to you. lIowever when considering the very long tern decision thai Is Involved here perhaps they are stili relatively within the ballpark or each olher. Second thing I. you may note the price dltferenllalln the OlpenlO or a brldgo at the Summit St.loeatlon, at the Governor St. location. I bellove specltlcally we list S I million for the Summit St.locallon and $600,000 for the Governor St.locatlon. The reason for that II the need for the approach work between Sheridan and Walnut Involved with Ihe Summit Street alternative. The bridge will be slightly wider than the ellstlng pavement because or the federa' regulations that will be Involved with designing that S1ructure. To taper back In to the ellstlng pavement will Involve eltra work. On Governor, the Governor alignment, that lame type or approach work Is included In the pavement line or that elpense detail. Third thing. You may also note that In the Governor St. alignment there Is no dltference In the elpense to construct a two lane bridge and a four lane bridge. The reason for that Is that there Is very little dltference In !he elpense In doing that. Public works Informed me that they recently received a cost estimate for a bridge at another location In low. City that Is under consideration. The dltference between a four I.ne alternative and a two lano allernatlvo wa. $60,000. Thoro really Is not a great deal of dltference and that Is why those are approl. the same. There would be a slight amount or dltference of course Increased for the four lane. But not considerable. There has also been some speculation about the fed. standards that the pUblic works dept. would use because of the fed. money that Is Involved In this project and what those requirements might do to the width we would have to conslruct a new structure. In fact, the pUblic works dept.lnformed me that when they are designing a new structure whether fed. funds are Involved or not, essentially the same specltlcatlons are used, The federal specltlcatlons, AS_Is the name or the group that publishes them, are considered essentially the state of the ar! and that Is what pUblic works uses regardless It there Is federal money or not , . i I I , ...,~'.,~"" j.., ..,~ "d:-: , . .-,-,...,.'.'j' ..,.",.- i.,'...'."., " rl' ::3 2 ' l --- - '5 pago 3 i' ! Involvod. 18uess I point that probably needs to be mlde 1811n Ind sort ot goes without slylng Is thlt you hive I very complel dltrlcult Issue berore you. And It has Ilia beon frustrallng for Italf becaule wo IIko to come to you with I planning Iludy and have a very good Idea ot what the bost wlY to proceed Is. II mikes It easier Cor your decision making process IS well. This Is one that Is very dlfrlcullln that respect. There Ire I range ot perspectives to look It this Issue. IIlvlng met with Individuals and groups represenllng all otthose perspecllves. Ills very dlCflcultln thltllken by themselves, elch perspective Is rellly quite reasonable. Ills cerlalnly reasonable for the peoplo on Summit 51. and Kirkwood Avo. to prefer to hive traffic reduced on thl!lr Itreot. Ills cerlalnly realonable Cor people Ilong Seventh Ave. Ind the Governor 51. allgnmenlto wlntto preserve Ihelr neighborhood In the manner In which they are accustom to having II. Itls also reasonable for the approl. " Ihe people represenllng 30,000 trips a dlY which arc taken atross those railroad tracks between First Ave. and Dodge St. on an ave. day. It Is reasonable for those motorists to elpectln arterial street system which would Cunctlon erriclenlly Ind IlIow thom to access In area or Iowa City that has In ract become a very automobile orlonted Irea. The hwy.'6 and hwy.'1 corridor Is an arel where, because otthe development that has occurred there, It Is dlrrlcull or the other modes ottran~portallon to compete down there. The central business district, walking, taking the bus. arc all very viable options. But In this area or Iowa City they arc not viable. With that I want to entertain any questions, elaborate on anything that you would like based on the materials that you have received. Kubby/l have a question. This Is dlrricult because we hive to look long range, If we werllto maintain tho Itatus quo and replace the Summit St. bridge without doing anything else. Maybe not even doing or not doing some tratrle control measures. Does that rulfll our needs long" term In terms or arterial streets. Davldson/l hate to evade the quesllon by simply saying that that requires some nollon or what Is the most Important thing. Certainly preserving the ellsllng sltuallon preserves a street system that when we are designing IlreetsyslomsIs nOlgeometrleally tho way we would like to have II. There are too many dOll legs and thlogs to go around. So It proserves a street system that on a strlclly technical basis we would like to Improve. But with the other Issues taken into conslderallon, I think certainly that alternallvo gives you something thai Isn't going to " , ! ,. .\ I , .. i I' , , \ I , I i i f . r , . f t ! , ~ t ( .

I really don'l Ihlnk Ihe lramc concerns that we have h~re In Iowa Clly to that .cale, Kubbyl So It may nol be the most convenient way or movlns tramc but II wlll movo tramc In a rouonablo amount or limo and In a rOllonablo way? Davldsonl Every thins you laid up 10 the reasonable plrllthlnk Is somelhlns we can conclude. Kubbyl All those thins. are ludgmental. Davldlonl Yel, precisely, they are ludgmenlAl. Larsonl jerf,thalls the Issue I want to compliment you on with the public hero, I think It I. entirely proper that you have given u.the allernallveland Ihe Informallon and yet withheld from making a policy decision that I think Is at the heart or Ihe alternallves. I think Ihatls emlly whal staff should do Is give us Ihe Informallon, make recommendallons where Itlsn'\ necessarily a judgement or perspective or value typo decision. Give us the Info we need 10 IUK8le and decide which or those perspectives and value judgements we need to make but nOI make Ihem for us and I appreciate you doing th:at. ^, a fringe beneW or a Ilde effecl or that. the pUblic w., somewhat milled Into thinking thlt allthe.e allernallve. are being equally weighted by council. I just wanted to apologize to the pUblic and those that thought thai all these allernallves were belos equllly looked at In some w.ys. In my mind Ills as plain IS the nose on your face that some or these IlIernallve'lust don't make any sense alall. I think only Is you hive no sense or neighborhood at all do you consider anything other Ihln ait. A or all, ^ I. I am sorry for Summit St.thlllt has become busy as It has, I think some thing. noed to bo dono about that but I cln'llmaglne closing Summll SI. brldse. I am jusl'orry It became an Issue that the public had no way of knowing whether tho council was about to do .omolhlna that s~emed crazy 10 them or whelher these were juslthaoretlcal allernallves. The way you did your lob properly. I think we lust gave the public the wrong Impression to some eJtentand I apologize for that. The only quesllon I have faclually that you might have given us and I might have missed It Ie how Is the traffic on Summit St. changed a. compared to Governor and Dodge and other slreel.ln thai area that are arterial. Davldsonl Probably Ihe mosl slgnlflcanl change that we have noled which wu Inlllally brought to our aUenllon by the Summit St. neighborhood group Is thallrarflc has Increased In recenl years, In tho lasllhree year.

There Istrarnc control on Summit St. and seems to be one ISlue and come how that has gOllen twisted around Into arterlaltrarne rlow In S.B. Iowa Clly. II would leem to be prudent to discuss one without discussing the other necessarily, rr you want a short term solution to the Summit St. problem. I can envision an ouulder coming to Iowa City and lust looking It the map and looking at 5.8. Iowa City and saying what are Ihe mlJor arteries and what can we do to Improve the .Ituallon and one Improvement would be to widen Summit St. because It Is the only two way direct link between Burlington and Keokuk. Blcuse me, Burllnglon and Kirkwood Islhe Ilreels nO'flstand. I am lure that would be dllSlllsracllon to many people. II seems to me that you have got two Issues here and maybe you ought to address them separately.

Either on Keokuk and Kirkwood or on Kirkwood and Dodgo and even on Bowery and Dodge. I don't think you need those huge things especially IJ' you rollow the neighborhoodS wish. Kubby/I hm one quick queltlon ror you. Where do you get the esllmate thatlJ' we built our own bridge Ihat was the same .1Ie IS the current Summit St. bridge that It would be S500,OOO. Kuensll/ You are r1gurlng out that the bridge w1l1 be S600,OOO and which w1l1 be 31 (eet wide. I have a reeling that these estimates are estimates. As WIS mentioned bdore, the clly got an Incredible estimate ror a (our lane bridge which '9111I be almost atlhe price or a two lane bridge, What I am .ugg~stlng Is tho dlJ'rerence betweon S600,OOO and S500,OOO Is not that much Is you get what you want and you are nol lert with a monstrosity. Ambr./I havo a question sir on your engineering report. Do you have I wrlllen reportlhll you could give us certified by an engineering r1rm. Kuensll/ We don't have a wrlllen report.

Thlt melns the subslructure or the bridge Is absolutely solid. It's the wooden structure. It might scaro you whon you look allt Ind you think my God It Is a wooden bridge Ind made or wooden beams. It ISlbsolutely solid. What people arc concerned with Is ",hat Ihe city had 10 do rive years ago. They first tried to put wooden boards down Ind then put Isphalt on It and they retllud It didn't hold. The clly then had to redo It Ind put corruglted metal down and then riut they put three Inches or Isphalt down and then they put rive Inches of asphalt and It hIS held very nicely. Larson/l don'l mean to dolay this ellher john but I WII under the Impression that the bridge had to be replaced In somellme between now and four years from now. If that Is not the case, I would like to know about It. llorow./1 would like to Investigate that too becauso the way I undersland It Is any bridge engineer or In engineer for bridges has a range or years In which they can make In educated guess as to how long I bridge stays. You can ellher give a conservative estimate or 4.~ years or you c.n glvo a liberal ostlmalo or up II) 20 yom. I don't think this Iw anything that we have IClually seen from an engineer. Larson/l saw It from Slove and that was four yeau. Four years and twenty years Is a big dlfrerence. Atklnsl Those Inspections arc performed by the slale and Ihey will tell us when It has to be replaced. Kubbyl Could we gol a report from our city engineer who Inspects the brldgo, Alklns/l am sure we could but It Is not goln8 to carry the same wolght. Horow.1 The question I would really like asked to the state engineer Is the range that any engineer has the training to make ellher a conservative or liberal estlmale. Any Iguell I would really like to ask them point blank what Is the range or yen. within which they arc maklnglhls estimate. Alklns/ I am sure we can ask Ihat but a bridge Inspector that you draw Ihat doosthe Inspection Is 80ln8to delermlne the determine the rinal Issue. Larson/ Well, we've been told by the slate that we have to look at repairing It within rour years. Atklns/ Yes. In a short period of time. Kuen~1I1 Two things.

It was slrong and so well buill. You can ask Mr. Schmadake who remembers thatlcene very well. The olher Ihing Ihatl rorgolto mention to you Is that what we presenled rrom nelghborlor the Summit 51. neighborhood Is basically plan A I. Nobody on Summit 51. ever sUggesled to lake out a bridge and not 10 have a bridge. We lubmltted to the clty,lhe neighborhood coordinator and a planner, we submitted to thom a plan.

It seems 10 me thltthe primary people using Dodge St are the people coming Into town rrom out or town and coming all the way Ihrough on Dodge St. Where the primary trarrle on Summit II In town people coming rrom the mulde. Ir that assumption Is true and somebody can shoot It down Ir you like. I'm lust throwing Ihls oul ror discussion.

I hive some very real concerns about IncreasIng traffic on Summit I hive lone year old child, a four year old child. We live on the weSlslde or the street. It won't be long before they're trying to go acrou Summit street to go to school. That quite honestly bothers me. If our alternative Is a new brIdge, I think we should hold' the width of the brIdge down to the current width rather than Increase It. That's alii have to say. Rod ShUlll S. Governor Street. I heard I lot 01 things I liked tonlghtlnd they were said more eloquently thin I cln. There seemed to bel good concerns that people don't want more traffic. I didn't hear anyone requesting traffic control to give them more traffic, and they want to preserve neighborhoods. I'm In favor or all that so I don't have much to say about that, but towards your question, Counsellor Courtney, one thing that occurred to me, I travel these routes all the time. I come out of an IlIey onto Summit It all hours and Igo down all these slreels. I really don't feel that there'. I !Ingle problem with traffic compared to most cities I've lived In. Nonetheless, for what we're used to and how Itlncreasos, thllt's whIt bothers 1111 of us. It could be thlllthere Is a dlsproportlonllte amount of traffic thllt's Increased on Summit. They're nOI desirous of that and people are not desirous of taking a surplus from there and put It somewhere elso. One slreotthat's constructod to handle moro traffic Isn'tgolllng, Is Dodge Street.
