recommend passage of resolution adopting special assessments in the amounts of $263, $222.71 for the 27th Avenue Northeast resurfacing project and passage of resolution requesting the Board of Estimate and Taxation authorize the city's issuance and sale of assessment bonds in the amount of $263,222.71 for the project.

the reason 27th Avenue Northeast would need resurfacing is due to the high volume of extremely heavy freight trucks using it to access trucking businesses on 27th Avenue Northeast and on University Avenue.

That pavements are projects are based on a uniform rate and method across the entire city regardless of truck routes or traffic volumes and regardless of the cost of the specific projects. So, um property owners along truck routes or heavy traffic routes do not pay any more than other um locations.

The proposed MnDOT-led cooperative project consists of reconstructing University Avenue Southeast and Fourth Street Southeast from Central Avenue to 35W.

the sidewalk that they're talking about replacing on 4th Street was replaced not even 3 years ago by the um the Biden infrastructure bill. It was made ADA compliant... to assess us, you know, homeowners to to pay for it to be redone again just seems kind of crazy.

I'm kind of wondering why you guys go and take the lead pipes out, I was told, before you come and do this resurfacing. So, and then you come back and do the resurfacing. How come everything isn't done at one time?

street reconstruction projects do not assess any more or less based on the amount of sidewalk that the that the street reconstruction replaces. So, any sidewalk assessments are one time. Paving do not charge the residents any additional cost.

So, there is a connection on some of these reconstruction projects in that we try to coordinate work when there needs to be things like lead service line replaced. Um and so, we always try to do that coordination. I will have to check offline about whether that's if or how many of those lead service lines might be replaced as part of this project.

Over the years, our office has noted that the need for a sustainable funding source outside the solid waste and recycling enterprise fund to develop the zero waste projects and programs for commercial, multi-family, and industrial sectors to meet our citywide zero waste goals.

an exclusive franchise fee through an organized commercial collection system was ultimately selected as the most applicable option for the city to pursue.

The total estimated time to full implementation is approximately 9 years.

this gives us a clearer road map on how to move this work forward. I know you mentioned in the presentation also around the timeline being, you know, estimate of 9 years, and in the report you also note that this is a conservative timeline. Um and I want to note we can, as we've done with a variety of initiatives too, go as fast or as slow as we want depending on the will of this body.

we do think this is a viable plan. I mean, it is going to take some time, but this is you know, from what we've seen across the country, a viable funding source to continue to drive zero waste and diversion policies to make to get us greener.

The Minneapolis Transportation Action Plan is derived from the Minneapolis 2040 Comprehensive Plan. Um the Comprehensive Plan sets the vision for where we go with transportation in the city. The Minneapolis Transportation Action Plan sets the how for how we get there.

There are 59 strategies included in the plan and 325 actions.

this is just my sincere thanks to public works for making this a living document. I remember the construct of this Transportation Action Plan. It wasn't easy.

How are we doing on the plan?

If some people can recall last term, we had a huge debate and conversation around the restructuring of plans due to government structure where again, what I love most about the Transportation Action Plans is very clear of what's in kind of the administration's wheelhouse where our legislative action steps. And from my understanding, there's based off of the city attorneys' advice that we're going to have to adjust how we do these type of plans now and how we're incorporating legislative feedback or policy integration into these plans.
