Below is their invitation: In April 2014, Iowa City was fortunate to have walkability and livability expert, Dan Burden, visit, take a tour of our community, and facilitate an input session with our own stakeholders. Dan and his team are returning to Iowa City for a workshop this fall. We will have the opportunity to utilize Dan's expertise on issues and plans specific to Iowa City, including a sneak peak at the upcoming Complete Streets Policy that will be considered in future months. The Blue Zones team would like to invite you to join us on Wednesday, October 29th at the Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center for an interactive conversation with Dan Burden on making Iowa City walkable, bikeable, and livable. The workshop will be two part. We recognize that your time is valuable, and are asking for your commitment to attend Part 1, from 9:00am- 10:15am. You are welcome to stay for Part 2, from 10:30- 12:00pm, where city staff will be consulting with Dan on specific future projects. Dan Burden is an internationally recognized authority on livable and sustainable communities, healthy streets, traffic calming, and bicycle and pedestrian programs. Over the past 35 years, he's helped more than 3,000 communities become more livable, walkable, and sustainable. Please let me know if you have any questions. The City is grateful for this opportunity and looks forward to a productive workshop with Mr. Burden. i g' A ORRipm •��: - �..�._ CITY OF IOWA CITY IP3 MEMORANDUM Date: September 15, 2014 To: Tom Markus, City Manager From: Sarah Walz, Associate Planner Re: Status update on the South District Plan INTRODUCTION Iowa City's Department of Neighborhood and Development Services will host a community planning workshop for Iowa City's South District on Monday, October 6, from 7:00 -9:00 PM at Grant Wood Elementary School in the gymnasium. The workshop will consider new neighborhood development and explore opportunities to strengthen existing neighborhoods in South Iowa City (areas south of Highway 6 and east of the Iowa River). DISCUSSION Staff will introduce the principles that guide sustainable neighborhood development in Iowa City, including connectivity, walkability, housing diversity, and neighborhood commercial areas. These principles are included in the IC2030 Comprehensive Plan and are essential elements in all of our district plans. Attendees will break into groups to discuss topics such as housing and quality of life and new neighborhood development; streets and transportation (walkability and transit); existing and future commercial areas; and creating a sense of place, including strengthening neighborhood identity. To encourage participation in the event, postcard invitations will be mailed to more than 4,000 addresses in the district by September 19. Announcements have also been posted on all Iowa City buses and have been provided to neighborhood associations, manufactured housing parks, and various organizations that operate in South Iowa City. An announcement also appears on the City's website at www.icgov.orq /southic. The web page includes a survey intended to gather information from community members about what they value and what they would change about South Iowa City. Information gathered from the survey will inform the workshop discussions. Staff will lead a public bicycle tour of South Iowa City on Saturday, September 20, from 9:00- 11:00. This is an opportunity for community members to "Get to Know South Iowa City." The tour will introduce riders to the extensive park and trail system, the Grant Wood and Wetherby neighborhoods, Iowa City's investment in flood replacement housing, and other residential developments in the district. The bike tour provides a unique way to experience the neighborhoods and the components that determine connectivity and walkability in the area. CONCLUSION After developing background information on the South District and meeting with individual neighborhood representatives and organizations over the summer, the public workshop on October 6 is the first large public session in this planning effort. Staff intends to hold additional planning sessions and focus discussions this fall and winter, working toward a draft district plan in early 2015. Guest editorial: Old design guidelines should not be applied today - The Park Record Page 1 of 1 From the City Manager Guest editorial: Old design guidelines should not be applied today UV-1U-1 Baird M. Smith, FA/A, FAPT, Alexandria, Virginia I P4 Posted: 0910912014 05:09:44 PM MDT ParkRecord.com Guest editorial: Old design guidelines should not be applied today I've been a professional in historic preservation since 1972, having been born and raised in Salt Lake. I've visited Park City many, many times over those years from my home in Alexandria, Virginia. I have had preservation projects all over the mid - Atlantic and am finding repeatedly that the Secretary of Interior's standards and guidelines, basically from 1980, are being used with very little modification all over the country. In general, these were intended for individual projects. There was never the expectation that they would be applied to an entire city center. We never dreamed how successful historic preservation might be. The application of these outdated government standards has had several outcomes that I'm seeing many times over: 1. Growth in historic cities of existing companies, organizations or families is greatly hindered as additions to buildings, or increasing the heights of buildings, is minimized. Successful businesses and organizations over a 40 year period have to move out. 2. What might be considered to be the normal growth of a city center only occurs horizontally. The footprint of the city center expands and taller, newer buildings are on the perimeter. I believe that the core activities within a city move to the perimeter, including hospitals, police, courts, schools, major shopping and large grocery stores.This has an impact to the health and the vitality of the core. 3. The only buildings left in the city centers generally have small footprints. These are good for restaurants and boutiques, but not for businesses that might double in size when successful. We then have historic districts in city centers where the highest and best use is tourism, rather than business, banking and public service. 4. The worst part is the application of these design guidelines along with the fact that they have been totally integrated into the building permit and zoning regulations. While historic preservation and architectural design are generally based on subjective decisions of worth and merit, the repeated application of the guidelines over the years has resulted in increasingly rigid, prescriptive requirements for design. The "guidelines" are now black and white, it is either ok or rejected, because the same question has been faced before and the decision before must apply today. The interpretations of the guidelines are wound so tightly they will never be undone. Our colleagues with new building design have coined the term "smart growth." This means it is innovative, sustainable, and meeting today's needs. Too bad there is not a similar movement called "smart preservation." http:// www. parkrecord .com/opinion/ci_26500407 /guest - editorial 9/15/2014 From the City Manager IP5 Uber ride -share service hits D.M. today; officials balk A popular ride - sharing service will debut today in Des Moines despite opposition from officials who say the company is not welcome unless it goes through the city's permitting process. Uber, a San Francisco, Calif. -based company that operates in more than 200 cities worldwide and more than 100 in the U.S., is expected to start booking rides at noon today. However, City Councilwoman Christine Hensley says the company would be violating city ordinances that govern taxicabs and shared transportation. Chief among them is a requirement that drivers be licensed as a cab service. "We have to underscore how significant this is in the fact that they will need to meet taxicab regulations or we will pursue them and take appropriate legal action," Hensley told The Des Moines Register. "We will be looking at it and try to determine what that would mean." Uber officials say they will continue to communicate with the city to create guidelines that can be beneficial to both parties. "The approach we take with all the cities is we look forward to working with them, hoping to craft common sense regulations that will recognize that this is coming," said Pooneet Kant, Uber's general manager for regional expansion. John Stineman of Des Moines said bringing the company to the city would mean convenience, as well as lower prices. He regularly dials up the service when he visits other cities. He says the backlash aimed at Uber is common when new ideas take shape. "Uber is disrupting a very settled marketplace," said Stineman, executive director of the Heartland Technology Alliance. "Every so often something comes along that sets everything else on its side. When consumers rush to it, you have to take notice." Local transportation companies said opposition to Uber has to do with keeping passengers safe rather than limiting competition. "Public safety is largely the area of major concern," said Mike Beecher, spokesman for Trans Iowa, which operates Yellow Cab and Capitol Cab in Des Moines. "Competition is always going to be there and we have no issues in that regard." Uber's service recruits drivers to offer rides to others using their personal cars. Using a smartphone application, customers can request a driver to pick them up and get them to their destination. Uber has been one of the most successful to take on ride - sharing, along with companies like Lyft, also based in San Francisco. But as it navigates in an arena dominated by taxicab and limousine services, the company has fought numerous unfair practices charges. German officials this week banned Uber because the company violates Germany's Passenger Transport Act, which governs who can transport others. Closer to home in Omaha, city officials last week cited Lyft and Uber drivers for misdemeanors for violating state laws related to for -hire transportation. It appears the company may be headed for the same fate in Des Moines. In other markets, Uber has announced it would pay for tickets received by its drivers and also announced in Germany that it would continue to operate, according to reports. "Uber has an almost unbelievable amount of arrogance," said Dave Sutton, spokesman for the Washington -based Taxicab, Limousine & Paratransit Association. "There have been cities that have said you must cease and desist. The company has publicly announced that it would continue to operate in those cities." Sutton said his organization takes issue with Uber's approach to the industry, essentially skirting laws established long ago that ensure passenger safety. "They are circumventing the rules and are attempting to self - regulate," Sutton said. "Long ago, in cities across America, there was a great deal of risk involved when you had people transported in vehicles by strangers. Because of this risk, they established laws to make sure the consumer is protected. Uber is circumventing these laws." The company has created a background check for drivers that examines driving records, county and federal courthouse records, motor vehicle records and the sex offender registry, according to a news release. Nick Gerhart, Iowa's insurance commissioner, said his office has no issue with Uber. In fact, he says, he has used the service in other cities. However, last month he released an advisory that warned potential drivers to make sure their insurance covers any possible scenarios related to driving others. "If someone wants to use this service to make a little bit of extra cash, we want them to understand what their coverage does and does not cover," he said. "The last thing we want is for someone to get in an accident and think they are covered when they are not." Kant said an increasing number of Des Moines residents had been researching the company's website, hoping to see that Des Moines was next on Uber's list. That led to the decision to launch in central Iowa. "It's another choice for consumers so we are excited to provide that," he said. "A lot of areas around Des Moines are not served well by the taxis in this area. There are a lot of dead zones where it will be far easier to get an Uber ride. I don't think we are being competitive. It's just a new option in places where they didn't exist before." From the City Manager To help promote the service, Uber will offer five free rides in Des Moines for any user during the first week. The company has spent the last several months recruiting and training local drivers, spokeswoman Jennifer Mullin said. Uber did not share the number of drivers it has in the Des Moines area, but Kant said the company could use more. Uber's impending arrival has been debated at City Hall on a regular basis and Hensley said, ultimately, the service needs to be monitored through licensing. Stineman says the fact that Uber chose Des Moines, whether the city welcomes it or not, shows the area's progressive nature. "They are doing very well and being selective about where they go," he said. "For Des Moines to be on that list, it puts us in good company to be on the map with Chicago, Minneapolis and Washington."

Tyler, Texas, is building out new sidewalks that are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act as part of the Metropolitan Planning Organization's Pedestrian Master Plan. The new sidewalks will tap into $1,648,322 in funds from the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Alternatives Program. Goal According to KLTV, the new sidewalks in Tyler are a component of the Texas Department of Transportation Enhancement Grant Sidewalk Project. The project calls for 7.2 miles of ADA compliant sidewalks throughout Tyler. The city will receive a maximum of $1,648,322 in federal funding through the Texas Department of Transportation. The federal dollars will reimburse Tyler for 80 percent of construction costs. The new sidewalks will increase mobility and access for all residents, including those with disabilities. Federal Funding The federal dollars will come from the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Alternatives Program. The administration's grants are allocated to Transportation Enhancement activities that involve surface transportation projects falling under at least one of 12 categories such as: • Pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure • Safety and education programs for pedestrians and bicyclists • Environmental mitigation • Scenic or historic highway programs Other programs supported through the Texas DOT enhancement initiative involve bridge and trail construction, streetscape projects and pedestrian malls. ADA Compliance Under the Americans with Disabilities Act, sidewalks should be wider than three feet to accommodate all pedestrians. The sidewalks should have a slope of no more than 2 percent, and there should be no fixed items protruding into the walkway. Other ADA transit standards include: Curb ramps or other sloped areas should be placed at all new or altered pedestrian walkways crossing a street, road or highway • Time allotted for pedestrians to cross the street should consider walkers traveling less than 3.5 feet per second • Alternate accessible routes should be provided when construction blocks public sidewalks All sidewalk construction projects should take into account the needs of blind and low- vision pedestrians at intersections, as well as those with specific mobility demands. Connector and Repairs The Federal Highway Administration is also offering a $397,884 transportation alternative grant to Erwin, Tennessee, for a downtown connector project. Erwin aims to add 4,000 feet of new sidewalks connecting a five mile trail to different access points throughout the downtown area. The goal of the project is to make it easier for residents to access commercial and recreational opportunities in Erwin via an extensive, pedestrian - friendly trail, TriCities reported. Existing roadways connecting residents to cultural and business sections of Erwin are limited and experience heavy traffic. The connector sidewalks will make the five -mile pedestrian trail more functional for navigating the downtown areas and avoiding areas of traffic congestion. San Benito County Today reported residents of Hollister will have access to federal funding to support repairs of dilapidated sidewalks in their neighborhoods. Leveraging $375,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's Community Development Block Grant Program, Hollister will fix up sidewalks in low- or moderate - income neighborhoods. The federal funding will be used alongside a sidewalk repair loan program lending individual loans to residents to help them fix their own sidewalks at a 2 percent interest rate. Walking the Walk EfficientGov has reported on similar sidewalk projects funded by the FHA as more communities look to modernize their pedestrian walkways.

The report analyzes some of the costs and benefits of law enforcement using body - worn video technology. "Law enforcement agencies across the nation are contemplating how best to use body -worn cameras and these guidelines will help them weight the costs and benefits," said COPS Office Director Ronald L. Davis. "There are many considerations when implementing a body -worn camera and this report will help chiefs and sheriffs make the best decision for their jurisdiction." The publication was developed jointly by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) and COPS through a cooperative agreement under the FY 2013 Community Policing Development Program. PERF conducted research on the use of body -worn cameras, identified promising practices and lessons learned from the field, and produced a set of guidelines for agencies interested in implement a body -worn camera program. Included in this effort was a one -day executive session with more than 200 police chiefs, sheriffs, scholars, representatives from federal criminal justice agencies, and other experts present to share experiences and lessons learned about body -worn cameras, to identify promising practices from the field, and to engage in a dialogue about the issues surrounding cameras.

I understand that your 1st question has been resolved by the Streets Departments. As for your concern with the Lexington Gate, the gate is not taken down for the start of leaf pick -up as the original traffic calming agreement with the neighborhood from 2001 indicated that the gate would only be open from November— March to allow through traffic during winter months. In practice, this is to allow for snow removal and the gate is typically taken down when the snowplows are put on the trucks. I hope this answers your question.

One is so big, I ruined a tire hitting it in the rain. If someone walking stepped in it, they could break an ankle. I feel the reason this street is not taken care of is, the famous gate. This gate means people can't drive through, so no need to fix it. Second. The gate. Why can't it be taken down when the leaf pick up starts? The city employees have to unlock, open, shut and re lock it when they take a load of the leaves and all equipment through it. It is a terrible inconvenience for your and my employees. If you would ask all the street people, including garbage, re cycling, etc. they would tell you they do not like it. I know there is no chance of getting it permanently taken down.
