101	4/15/2021	Dianne Yee	on behalf of Tim Courtney - after reviewing the Grand Avenue Mobility Project, has two requests: 1. Please make Grand and Mandela fully protected for bicycles, with concrete forward islands and narrow turn radius. This can be done with a truck apron for large vehicles. 2.

TDA Article 3 funds are granted on a reimbursement basis and eligible costs must be incurred within three years of award. The grant for the Short Cut Stair Path was awarded in Fiscal Year 2016-17 and expired on June 30, 2019.

149	2/21/2019	Scott Blanks	Reported frustration with issues he reported on SeeClickFix not being resolved or resulting only in patch fixes. One issue is about the wooden bridges like the one on the south-east corner of the Racine St and North St intersection that often gets knocked out by weather or people parking their cars on it. While there needs to be a more permanent fix than these wooden bridges, the issue is marked “resolved” when the bridge wood has been replaced without fixing the underlying issue.	Commissioner Wheeler urged people to continue reporting problems of all sizes to SeeClickFix because even if the City cannot immediately fix larger projects, it still calls the issue to the attention of the City and gives them a sense of how important the issue is to people. Commissioner Parreiras called it a priority that all the wooden bridges be replaced with safer, longer term fixes.	This is a drainage issue that needs long term fix. DOT staff recommended submitting a curb ramp request from the City's curb ramp online request page. Scott could not submit request because it required a digital signature.

The RRFB at this intersection is slated to be changed to a full signal with the ATF Safe Routes to Schools grant. It can be programmed at that time for recall.
