Recommendation to Accept the Work of Ranger Pipeline Inc. for Cyclic Sewer Rehabilitation Project, Phase 12, No. P.W. 01-15-01. (Public Works 602)
I pulled F and G kind of together. So it was just more of a kind of another update about the same area because that's Park and Otis. And if you could give a brief status update on where we are on the sewer replacement because during periods of heavy rain it was last week, we still see a lot of flooding along shoreline. So maybe kind of a brief update and maybe some anticipated date when we might be able to see relief, you know, from these these big pools of standing water. Sure. Two separate issues. We have separate sanitary and storm system. So the sanitary system, which was the construction work that we were doing, has nothing to do with the flooding that we're seeing. That's our storm system. The items on the agenda tonight are the acceptance of work from Ranger Pipeline's Who is our sewer construction contractor. That job replaced a pressurized sewer pipe that goes from the South Shore Shopping Center down to Chrissy Park. That pipe failed. This work replaced it. It was successfully done under budget. We have a brand new pipe in the ground, so that works, done really well. We are seeing the benefits of it now as we speak. Well, if. It's really not related, then maybe we could have, you know, staff come back after the beginning of the year with an update. On. The weather, not hold up this item. For sure. Yeah. And we do have key staff that would be able to speak to the storm flooding issues in that area. Well, that would be helpful after the first of the year, right. Any other member, Ashcraft, as long as staff is coming back to talk about key flooding issues, you're probably aware that the Main Street Ferry parking lot was pretty severely flooded, more than the usual area, but pretty much all. Over. Whatever day that was last week that we had such heavy rain. So, yes, heavy rains combined with king tides. So the water really has nowhere to go. So if there are flooding issues, we definitely saw them this past storm. We love the water, though. Okay. I'm of approval of the two items, two F and two G. Second. Thank you. Thanks. And I wanted to give our city manager an opportunity to share. So if community members find something in the area that they want repaired, they go to. So they go to see Click Fix actually is a program that the public works department manages. And it's very you take a picture of it, you put a little description of it, and there's a response from staff. It gets routed to the appropriate staff and you can track the progress of that request. So we encourage citizens to use that. So that includes the flooding areas. So that being said, all of us in favor I bushwhackers unanimously think so that's items to EF and to G. And now we move on to. Hey, Ben Brody. Yeah, I think it's Jay. Oh. Actually, I did. Remember Ashcroft. Okay. Okay. Okay. So I wasn't here last time for the first reading of this ordinance, but I did go back and read the agenda item, the staff report. And I also emailed, but only very recently, to staff my concern. All right. I'm just pulling this up. Yes. Hi, Mr. Garland. Thank you. So. We we have before us this ordinance that establishes a residential permit, a residential parking permit system for neighborhoods in our city. And homeowners associations, procedures and whatnot. The precipitating factors seemed to be the overflow parking from the Harbor Bay Ferry terminal. And my concern and why I pulled this is that. We have, as is often the case, more than one competing interests that we need to resolve. And I want to make sure that we are. Addressing everything we're juggling, but we're keeping all the balls up in the air. And just judging from communication I've had from fairy riders, and maybe they weren't as informed as they should have been, or maybe the process wasn't quite as informative as it could have been. But my concern is that if we are going to allow for homeowners associations to have permit parking only on their neighborhood streets, and these are there's a couple of particular developments in proximity to the Harbor Bay Ferry terminal. But at the same time, we haven't provided sufficient alternatives to folks who do need to drive cars and or maybe we've provided alternatives, but we haven't done as robust a job of marketing them. And so people aren't aware of them, which is almost the same as not having them there. I always think it's better to get the public information out ahead of time, even a month in advance. I know. Well, I won't go into it. I'm I'm really pleased. I've because I've been a very squeaky wheel. You all know, I've been nipping at your heels on the the parking and you did. We've gotten the no parking signs down on north off of North Loop Road there in the vicinity of the child care centers, which is helping. And I'm hearing from these parents of young children who can park dropped their children off, walked into the end of the road and take the shuttle that the Harbor Bay Business Park is allowing people to use to get to the ferry terminal. But as far as the line, is it 19 or 21, 21, 21, which is apparently a free shuttle and now it's on time. When did that start? How was it noticed? And what's the ridership so far in the time, however long it's been since since it's been started? Sure. I keep on standing up just to sit down, but I'm actually going to ask Jennifer. I get better at the AC Transit. He didn't have a description for you like the air. Good evening, Mayor. Councilmembers. Welcome, Councilmember Bella. So we have we did actually do some marketing for the line of them. But let me step back a little bit because probably about over the last six months we've been working with AC Transit to really improve that line.
