OK? SESSION. 28. THANK YOU, SIR. MAYOR COUNCIL APPRECIATE THE TIME THIS AFTERNOON, WE GET TO
[CALL TO ORDER]
[2023 Development Recap]
TALK ABOUT MY FAVORITE TOPIC AND THAT IS DEVELOPMENT. YEAH, YOU'RE ALL EXCITED AS WELL. I WAS EXPECTING MORE. COME ON, GUYS. UM, SO WE HAD A RECORD YEAR LAST YEAR. I'M GONNA HIGHLIGHT SOME OF THOSE RECORD ACHIEVEMENTS AND THEN TALK ABOUT SOME CONSTRAINTS AND SOME OTHER THINGS GOING ON, UH, IN THE DEVELOPMENT CLIMATE RIGHT NOW THAT POTENTIALLY EXPANDED THROUGH 2023. SO I'M GONNA JUMP RIGHT INTO IT. AS I MENTIONED, WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT OF NUMBERS, DEVELOPMENT TRENDS. WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT NOT NOTEWORTHY PROJECTS, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA TALK ABOUT THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES TONIGHT. SO FIRST OFF TRENDS. RESIDENTIAL IS STRONG. NON-RESIDENTIAL IS STRONG. IF YOU DRIVE THROUGH THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, YOU'LL KNOW THAT TO BE TRUE. YOU SEE IT EVERYWHERE. UM SO WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? IN TERMS OF NUMBERS, SO THE CITY OF MCKINNEY IS NOW ALMOST 215,060 0.2 SQUARE MILES APPROACHING THAT 70 THRESHOLD YOU CAN SEE RECORD YEAR FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION VALUE IN 2023 1.472 MILLION. COPS OR 1.472. BILLION WITH A B 9 MILLION. I APOLOGIZE, UM, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT TOPS LAST YEAR'S PREVIOUS RECORD 1.3 BILLION. SO AGAIN, MCKINNEY CONTINUES TO GROW CONTINUES TO BE A THRIVING ECONOMY, AND WE'RE VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT. SO NON-RESIDENTIAL YOU HEARD ME. SAY IT. RESIDENTIAL NON-RESIDENTIAL ALL STRONG. YOU CAN SEE IT HERE AGAIN. IF YOU LOOK AT LAST YEAR'S NUMBERS, SO YOU'RE GOING TO SEE A DIP DOWN. WELL, WHY IS THAT, MICHAEL? SO THIS YEAR 485 MILLION IN NON-RESIDENTIAL CONSTRUCTION VALUE LAST YEAR, 685 MILLION DIPPED DOWN. BUT MICHAEL, YOU SAID IT WAS STRONG. WELL KEEP IN MIND. LAST YEAR'S NUMBER WAS INFLATED BY ONE PERMIT FROM RAYTHEON. THAT WAS $216 MILLION. IF YOU TAKE THE 216. MILLION DOLLARS OFF THE TOP THIS YEAR EXCEEDS LAST YEAR'S SO, UM, AGAIN VERY, VERY STRONG. 129 NON-RESIDENTIAL BUILDING PERMITS THE MOST SINCE 2001. SO WHEN I SAY VERY STRONG, VERY, VERY STRONG. THANK YOU FOR THAT CLARIFYING POINT ON THE RAYTHEON YES, SIR. HELPFUL SO WHERE IS THAT NON-RESIDENTIAL? UH, DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY HAPPENING? YOU CAN SEE ALL THE DOTS ON THE MAP. UH, VARIOUS LAND USE TYPE SHOWED VERY DIFFERENT COLORS. BUT YOU CAN SEE KIND OF DISPERSED ALL OVER THE COMMUNITY , SO WE'RE NOT TARGETING THAT NON-RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT. ONE AREA. IT LITERALLY IS DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY. SO UH, AGAIN, A GOOD POSITIVE SIGN OF GROWTH IN THE IN THE ENTIRE CITY. RESIDENTIAL AGAIN CONTINUES TO REBOUND. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT OUR SINGLE FAMILY PERMIT NUMBER IS UP 1853 TOTAL 1500 OF THAT IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY AGAIN, 300 OR SO IN TRINITY FALLS PARKWAY OR TRINITY FALLS MUNICIPAL UTILITY DISTRICT AGAIN. WE DON'T CONSIDER FOR THIS PRESENTATION. WE DON'T INCLUDE THE CONSTRUCTION VALUATION IN TRINITY FALLS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T BENEFIT THE CITY. UM SO YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THE 300 15 BUILDING PERMITS.CONSTRUCTION VALUATION IS NOT INCLUDED IN THAT $495. IF YOU INCLUDE THEM, IT'S EVEN HIGHER, BUT KNOWING THAT IT DOESN'T DERIVE ANY BENEFIT TO THE CITY'S TAX BASE. WE'VE WANTED TO EXCLUDE THAT AND THEN MULTIFAMILY CONTINUES TO BE STRONG AS WELL. MICHAEL WOULD YOU SAY? UM FORGIVE ME IF YOU CAN GO BACK. YES, SIR. THAT'S QUITE A JUMP FROM 2022 TO 2023 UNDERSTANDING THAT 22 2 TOOK A STEP BACK, BUT IT'S NOT PAINTED TREE IS THAT ACCOUNTING FOR A LOT OF THE 2023 PAINTED TREE WAS HUGE. YOU'LL SEE ON THE NEXT SLIDE, A KIND OF WHERE THE PERMITS ARE ISSUED AND YOU'LL SEE RIGHT THERE. NORTH OF 380 WEST OF HARDIN. YOU'LL SEE A MASSIVE CLUSTERING OF DOTS THAT IS PAINTED TREE. YOU'LL ALSO SEE SOME DOTS UP THERE IN TRINITY FALLS PARKWAY AND THEN HONEY CREEK JUST TO THE WEST OF TRINITY FALLS PARKWAY. BUT THIS GIVES YOU A GOOD IDEA. YOU'VE GOT SOME, UH CLUSTERING OF DOTS OVER THERE IN WILLOW WOOD TO THE EAST SIDE OF HIGHWAY FIVE. BUT I WOULD VENTURE TO OR I WOULD SUBMIT TO YOU THAT YES. PAINTED TREE COMING ONLINE LATE LAST YEAR, UH, RESULTED IN A SIGNIFICANT JUMP IN THOSE PERMANENT NUMBERS. SO LET'S JUMP TO SOME NOTEWORTHY PROJECTS. SO YOU'VE SEEN THE DATA YOU'VE SEEN
[00:05:06]
WHERE THEY DISTRIBUTED IN THE COMMUNITY. SO LET'S VISUALIZE WHAT THOSE PROJECTS ACTUALLY LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE. SO HERE'S ONE WE'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT PAINTED TREE CAME ONLINE LATE LAST YEAR. UH THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE AMENITIES. UH, OUT THERE AT THE COMMUNITY ON THIS THE BOTTOM PORTION OF THIS SLIDE , YOU'LL SEE THE MASTER PLAN OVER THERE ON THE LEFT SIDE. UH, AND THEN AN AERIAL IMAGE OF KIND OF WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ON THE GROUND ON THE RIGHT SIDE, SO VERY EXCITED OVER 3000 NEW RESIDENTIAL UNITS WILL BE COMING TO PAINT A TREE IN ITS LIFE CYCLE. WE PROJECT ABOUT THREE PEOPLE PER DWELLING UNIT AGAIN. FLUCTUATES BETWEEN MULTIFAMILY AND SINGLE FAMILY, BUT YOU CAN ESTIMATE 9 TO 10,000 PEOPLE AT BUILD OUT WILL CALL PAINTED TREE HOME, SO IT'S A SIZABLE SIZABLE COMMUNITY. UH IN OUR NORTHWEST SECTOR JUST SOME PERSPECTIVE, THOUGH 1000 ACRES 10,000 UNITS. BIG BIG TIME STONERIDGE RANCH 6000 ACRES. SO THINK ABOUT THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS THAT CALL STONEBRIDGE HOME. UM SO WHILE THIS IS A BIG DEAL FOR THE NORTHWEST SECTOR STILL KIND OF KEEP IT IN COMPARISON WITH STONE BRIDGE BACK IN THE DAY. HIGHLAND LAKES 200 ACRES ABOUT 1000 MULTIE 1000 SINGLE FAMILY RESIDENTIAL UNITS. BRAND NEW LITERALLY JUST OPENED UP ASTOR PARK. IT'S IN OUR NORTHWEST SECTOR, UH, JUST EAST OF CUSTER ROAD NORTH OF 1461. THIS WILL HAVE ABOUT 1000 SINGLE FAMILY UNITS, SO YOU CAN SEE THE TRENDS THAT WE STARTED SEEING EARLY IN THE 20 TWENTIES. CONTINUED NORTHWEST SECTOR CONTINUES TO BE OUR PRIMARY GROWTH AREA. IT'S NOT ON NOT UNFORESEEN. WE'VE BEEN PLANNING FOR THIS GROWTH, WHICH IS WHY WE PARTNER WITH OUR ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT ON SOME OF OUR C IP PROJECTS. WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THAT HERE IN A SECOND, BUT, UM DEFINITELY A LOT OF ACTIVITY IN OUR NORTHWEST SECTOR. NON-RESIDENTIAL HEBE. EVERYBODY LOVES HEB. I'D BE REMISS TO GIVE A DEVELOPMENT PRESENTATION WITHOUT IT, BUT, UH, VERY EXCITED. THEY WERE ABLE TO OPEN IN JULY OF 23, AND HOPEFULLY THEY'LL DEVELOP ANOTHER FACILITY IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY VERY SOON. WEST GROVE ON THE SOUTHEAST CORNER OF CUSTER AND, UH, 380 ABOUT 100 AND 30,000 SQUARE FOOT OF RETAIL, COMMERCIAL FOOD AND BEVERAGE, UH, ALREADY PERMITTED WITH MORE TO COME ALREADY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. YOU CAN SEE ON THE TOP SLIDE, UH OR ON THE TOP OF THE SLIDE THE SHELL BUILDING THAT YOU'RE SEEING THERE IS WHOLE FOODS THAT WILL EVENTUALLY BE WHOLE FOODS. YOU SEE THE CHICK FIL A ON THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT HAND CORNER AND THEN THE LEFT HAND CORNER IS ACTUALLY WHAT IT WILL LOOK LIKE WHEN IT'S ALL BUILT OUT, UH, HERE LATER THIS YEAR. HARDEN IN 380. SO THIS IS THIS PROJECT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART BECAUSE IT PROVED THE MARKET WRONG. SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HEARD BEFORE THIS DEVELOPMENT GOT UNDERWAY WAS THERE'S NO DAYTIME POPULATION IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? BASICALLY THE SENSE IS THAT EVERYBODY LEAVES TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR WORK. AND SO A LOT OF RESTAURANTS SAID WELL, WE WON'T GO TO MCKINNEY BECAUSE THERE'S NO DAYTIME POPULATION. OK SO THESE GUYS CAME IN AND WHAT HAVE THEY DONE? PROVE THE MARKET WRONG. IF YOU GO THERE FOR LUNCH. IT IS PACKED EVERY ONE OF THEM. IF YOU BUILD IT, THE PEOPLE WILL COME AND THEY DID.AND SO I WOULD SUBMIT TO ANY OF THE RESTAURANTS OUT THERE OR ANY OF THE RETAILERS OUT THERE THAT MIGHT BE WORRIED ABOUT MCKINNEY'S DAYTIME POPULATION. DON'T WORRY. LOOK AT THIS. IT'S A SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT'S POSSIBLE. IF YOU INVEST IN THE CITY OF MCKINNEY. VERY VERY EXCITED ABOUT, UM, THE HARDENED AND 380 INTERSECTION MORE TO COME ON THAT DEVELOPMENT. TOPS EAST SIDE REDEVELOPMENT. EVERYBODY'S HEARD ABOUT TUBS. THEY'RE A GRAND OPENING WILL BE MARCH 9TH. WE'RE EXCITED TO HAVE THEM INVESTING, UH, IN OUR HISTORIC DOWNTOWN, UM, EXCITED TO SEE KIND OF THE LIFE THAT THAT WILL BRING BACK INTO OUR EAST SIDE. SO VERY, VERY EXCITED TO SEE THIS PROJECT. UH, COME TO FRUITION. AGAIN MUCH LIKE A HEB. I WOULD BE REMISS TO NOT GIVE AN UPDATE ON THE CITY HALL PROJECT. WE'RE EXPECTING A SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION LATER THIS YEAR WITH CITY STAFF MOVING IN, UH, FIRST PART OF NEXT YEAR. OBVIOUSLY I'M NOT GONNA READ ALL OF THE DEPARTMENTS THAT WILL CALL CITY HALL HOME BASE. BUT I THINK WHAT WE ARE MOST EXCITED ABOUT IS NOT ONLY WILL IT BE A CENTRAL HUB WHERE WE CAN COLLABORATE AND COORDINATE MORE EFFICIENTLY TOGETHER. BUT CITY HALL WILL ALSO SERVE AS KIND OF A COMMUNITY HUB FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THERE WILL BE IS THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN RENT OUT AND USE BEYOND IT. JUST BEING A PLACE FOR, UH, CITY EMPLOYEES LIKE ME TO OFFICE OUT OF SO VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT CITY HALL, UH, OPENING LATER THIS YEAR, UM, BUT STARTED CONSTRUCTION IN LATE 22 EARLY 23. ALSO DOWNTOWN
[00:10:06]
REDEVELOPMENT. WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE MOVE TO THE CITY HALL? WHAT HAPPENS TO THIS PROPERTY? WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES BUILDING? SO AS THE COUNCIL KNOWS, WELL, WE'RE, UH, PARTNERING WITH A DEVELOPMENT PARTNER TO REDEVELOP AND REIMAGINE WHAT THE FUTURE OF THESE PROPERTIES LOOK LIKE. WE'RE KIND OF INTO PHASE FOUR BUT EXCITED TO SEE WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS FOR THESE FOUR PROPERTIES AS THEY MOVE INTO, UH, THE NEAR FUTURE.TRANSITIONING A LITTLE BIT TO INFRASTRUCTURE. SO ALL THESE LAND USES COMING IN BRING PEOPLE BRING POPULATION BRING BUSINESSES BRING A WHOLE NUMBER OF THINGS WITH IT, BUT IT CHOKES AND WILL NOT SUCCEED WITHOUT PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE TO SUPPORT IT. SO WE'VE BEEN PARTNERING WITH TECH DOT FOR YEARS AND YEARS TO SEE HIGHWAY FIVE. RECONSTRUCTED UM, WE'RE ACTUALLY SEEING PROGRESS ON THAT. WE ANTICIPATE THAT THE LET DATE FOR PHASE ONE WILL BE LATE 24. THIS YEAR, FIRST PART OF 25 AND THEN PHASE TWO. LET UH LET DATE MID 2026 SO AGAIN. WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT HIGHWAY FIVE RECONSTRUCTION FOR DECADES, AND IT'S FINALLY HERE VERY, VERY EXCITED FOR WHAT THAT WILL DO FOR NOT ONLY THE CITY OF MCKINNEY, ESPECIALLY THE EAST SIDE. ALSO INFRASTRUCTURE. ALL THAT POPULATION COMING CONGESTION ON 380. IF YOU'VE BEEN ON 380, YOU KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF CONGESTION. SO WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THE 380 BYPASS AS EARLY AS 2015 8. YEARS LATER, WE HAVE A RECORD OF DECISION. WHAT THAT MEANS FOR THE COMMUNITY IS TEXTILE WILL BE IN A POSITION WHERE THEY CAN GO AND ACQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY AND BEGIN FINALIZING DESIGN PLANS FOR GETTING THIS ROAD BUILT SO VERY EXCITED AGAIN WASN'T ALL POSITIVE. WE DIDN'T GET EVERYTHING THAT WE WANTED, BUT FOR THE REGION, I THINK HAVING THIS ASSET ON THE GROUND WILL BE A MASSIVE MASSIVE WIN FOR THE REGION. SIMILAR TO 380 BYPASS.
WE'VE GOT THE SPUR 399 EXTENSION AGAIN. BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT SINCE 2017. AND SO FIVE YEARS LATER, WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE RECORD OF DECISION. UH VERY, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE, UH, IMPACT THIS WILL HAVE ON OUR EAST SIDE, ESPECIALLY MCKINNEY NATIONAL AIRPORT. VERY VERY IMPORTANT ASSET THAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO PARTNERING WITH TECH DOT UH, AND THE CARGO.
SO LET'S TALK ABOUT SOME THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES AS YOU ALL WELL KNOW, UH, LOCAL CONTROL CONTINUES TO BE FROM MY VANTAGE POINT. THE ATTACK ON LOCAL CONTROL CONTINUES TO BE THE SINGULAR ISSUE THAT AFFECTS WHAT ME AND MY TEAM DO EVERY DAY. NOW WE'RE TRYING TO COUNTERACT THAT WITH SOME THINGS THAT I'LL TALK ABOUT, BUT, UH THE BIGGEST THREAT SIMPLY IS THE ATTACK ON LOCAL CONTROL. HERE'S A BRIEF SUMMARY OF JUST SOME OF THE BILLS THAT HAVE BEEN PASSED OVER THE LAST, UH FIVE OR SIX YEARS. 17 WE ALL REMEMBER SENATE BILL SIX, WHICH ATTACKED OUR ABILITY TO ANNEX PROPERTY 2019 2430. 2439 AFFECTED ARE IMPACTED OUR ABILITY TO GOVERN ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN AND, UH THINGS OF THAT NATURE. 3167 MANDATED THAT WE APPROVE PLATS WITHIN A CERTAIN WINDOW AND THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACTED OUR ABILITY TO BE FLEXIBLE WITH OUR CUSTOMERS. WE WERE UNABLE TO FACILITATE BUSINESS AS THEY WERE COMFORTABLE WITH WHEN THAT BILL WENT INTO WENT INTO LAW 929 29 AGAIN, UH, PROPERTY OWNER NOTICES AND COSTLY NOTICES AT THAT EVERY TIME WE WANT TO MAKE A CHANGE THAT MIGHT IMPACT THE LAND USE 2038. I'M GONNA TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT HERE IN A SECOND, BUT 3699 AGAIN IMPACTING OUR ABILITY TO GET ROADWAY EXACTIONS OR INFRASTRUCTURE EXACTIONS BIG CHALLENGE AS WE CONTINUE TO PLAN FOR THE GROWTH AND EXPANSION OF OUR BUILT OUT COMMUNITY. SO 2038. WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE? SO 2038 SENATE BILL 2038 ALLOWS PROPERTY OWNERS TO PETITION TO GET OUT OF OUR E TJ. WHY DOES THAT MATTER? SO THE J IS THE AREA THAT THE CITY WILL EXPAND INTO THROUGH ANNEXATION THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS IF WE ARE, UH IF A PROPERTY IS NOT IN OUR E TJ, WE CAN'T ANNEX IT. WHY DOES THAT MATTER, SO WE'RE PLANNING INFRASTRUCTURE FOR ALL OF THESE AREAS. WE'RE PLANNING ROADWAYS FOR THESE AREAS. WE ARE BUILDING OUT INFRASTRUCTURE FOR PROPERTY THAT MAY NEVER NEED IT OR MAY NEVER BENEFIT FROM IT. AND SO THIS IS JUST ONE OF THE CHALLENGES WITH SENATE BILL 2038 . BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT THE IMPACT OF IT SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 23 WHEN IT WENT INTO LAW WE'VE HAD IT'S KIND OF DIFFICULT TO READ, BUT WE'VE HAD 697 ACRES PETITION TO GET OUT OF OUR TJ, ONE SQUARE MILE 640 ACRES. WE'VE
[00:15:04]
HAD OVER ONE SQUARE MILE PETITION TO GET OUT OF OUR E TJ THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT AND WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AND CONTINUE TO EXPAND WITH TIME. SIGNIFICANT IMPACT TO OUR MASTER PLANNING EFFORTS TO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENTS, AND THESE ARE JUST THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG SO SIGNIFICANT SIGNIFICANT CONCERNS AND AGAIN WE CAN GO ON AND ON ABOUT ATTACKS ON LOCAL CONTROL, BUT I'LL STOP HERE TO SAY IT'S A SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE FOR US. SO WHAT ARE WE DOING? WHAT ARE WE DOING IN RESPONSE TO SOME OF THESE, UH, THESE CHALLENGES FROM STATE LAW SO FIRST OFF, WE'RE LOOKING FOR PARTNERS PARTNERSHIPS ON THE LEFT SIDE.YOU WILL SEE AAA PARTNERSHIP THAT YIELDED ANNEXATION. THE RED PROPERTY WAS INVOLUNTARILY ANNEXED BY THE CITY BECAUSE WE HAD A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE GREEN PROPERTY. VERY VERY, UM, NEW PARTNERSHIP. I WILL OFFER AT THAT ON THE EAST SIDE. ALSO A PARTNERSHIP. IF YOU ANNEX THE GREEN AREA, WE'LL BUILD THE YELLOW AREA, THE YELLOW AREA BEING WILMOUTH ROAD. IT'S AC IP PROJECT. UM AND SO I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT C IP AND THE POWER OF OUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM WHAT IT CAN DO BEYOND PARTNERSHIPS. SO WHAT CAN C I PROJECTS DO TRAFFIC AND SAFETY PROJECTS? UH, WASTEWATER DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS. YOU CAN SEE THEM ALL PICTURED HERE. SO WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF THOSE C? I PROJECTS I'VE ALREADY MENTIONED WILM ROAD. VERY VERY EXCITING PROJECT. WILMOUTH ROAD IS KIND OF OUR MULTILANE CORD OR MULTI LANE ROUNDABOUT CORRIDORS KIND OF OUR TEST CORRIDOR. UM WE'LL TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THE FIRST MULTI LANE ROUNDABOUT. UM, HERE IN A SECOND , BUT RIDGE ROAD OR WILMOUTH ROAD WAS VERY IMPORTANT FOR US, BECAUSE ONE IT WAS A PARTNERSHIP . WE WERE ABLE TO LEVERAGE THE ANNEXATION OF OVER 300 ACRES IN OUR NORTHWEST SECTOR BECAUSE WE CAME TO THE TABLE WITH THIS PARTNERSHIP AGAIN. IT ALSO ADDS IT SERVES A COMMUNITY NEED. IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT WITH THE CONGESTION ON 380, HAVING ANOTHER EAST WEST ROUTE IS SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACTFUL IN A POSITIVE WAY TO THE TO THE RESIDENTS THAT LIVE IN THIS AREA, SO WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT PROJECT. UM, COMING FORWARD, UH, IN THE VERY NEAR FUTURE. I MENTIONED THE FIRST MULTILANE ROUNDABOUT, SO FUNNY STORY RIDGE ROAD IF YOU WANNA LEARN HOW TO DRIVE. I KNOW THERE ARE SOME SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH MULTIMILLION ROUNDABOUTS. IF YOU WANT TO LEARN HOW TO DRIVE A MULTI LANE ROUNDABOUT. NOW IS THE TIME. THERE'S NOT A LOT OF PEOPLE OUT THERE. UH, THE LONGER IT'S THERE, THE MORE PEOPLE WILL GET ON IT. BUT I WILL TELL YOU THE FIRST DAY WAS OPEN. I WENT OUT THERE WITH MY WIFE AND I DID ABOUT 10 LOOPS ON THAT INTERIOR CIRCLE, AND MY WIFE SAID, OK, MICHAEL, IT'S TIME TO STOP. SO I HAD TO GET OFF OF IT, BUT, UH, IT'S A GREAT OPPORTUNITY VERY, VERY EFFICIENT. BETTER FROM A MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION STANDPOINT, AND I THINK ONCE FOLKS GET THE FEEL FOR THEM, UH, THEY'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF C IP PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY PERTAINING TO CONGESTION. EVERY EVERYBODY KNOWS AT THE NORTHEAST CORNER OF HARDIN BOULEVARD AND COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY IS THE MISD STADIUM AND YOU KNOW ON A AN EVENT, WHETHER IT'S FOOTBALL OR WHATEVER ELSE IS GOING ON OUT THERE, TRAFFIC CAN BE A LITTLE BIT TEDIOUS AT TIMES, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE DOING IS BUILDING PORTIONS OF COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY WERE ALSO INCLUDING A TRAFFIC SIGNAL AT THAT INTERSECTION AT AND COLIN MCKINNEY PARKWAY TO EASE ACCESS IN AND OUT OF THE STADIUM SITE DURING THE SPECIAL EVENTS, SO, UM, VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE WORK GOING ON DOWN THERE. ONE LAST THING THAT'S NEW FROM PAST YEARS IS THE INTERACTIVE DEVELOPMENT DATA THAT WE'RE PUTTING OUT THERE, SO WE RECOGNIZE THAT PEOPLE CONSUME INFORMATION IN DIFFERENT WAYS. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT LIKE A TABLE. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT BE VISUAL LEARNERS. SOME PEOPLE MIGHT WANT TO INTERACT WITH THE DATA, SO WE'VE GOT A WEBSITE CREATED TO SUPPORT OUR ANNUAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT THAT ALLOWS FOLKS TO MANIPULATE AND PLAY WITH THE DATA IN A WAY THAT MAY BE HELPFUL FOR THEM AGAIN NEW THIS YEAR TIP OF THE CAP TO THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT. PO, THIS TOGETHER? VERY VERY EXCITING RESOURCE. SO IF YOU'RE A DATA JUNKIE LIKE ME FEEL FREE TO DIVE IN, I THINK YOU'LL BE PLEASANTLY SURPRISED. SO WITH THAT I WILL STAND FOR ANY QUESTIONS. WHEN ARE YOU GUYS GONNA GET TO WORK? I GO. WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BUILD THE ROUNDABOUT SOUTH OF VIRGINIA AND RIDGE? HEY UH, SPEAKING WITH GARY GRAHAM. I WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU. I SAW THE FLASHING RED STOPLIGHT STOP SIGNS OUT THERE. THERE'S BEEN INSTALLED.
YEAH, I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO SEE IF THAT RESULTS IN ANY REDUCTION OF ACCIDENTS OUT THERE, BUT I'M ASSUMING YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO NEED MONTHS AND MONTHS OF DATA, IF NOT YEARS, WITH THOSE
[00:20:01]
INSTALLED WE HAVE AT THE ROUNDABOUT BEFORE THEN. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS. TO SEE THAT, UH, LAKE FOREST AND WEYMOUTH. AGREED EVERYBODY AGREES WITH YOU AGAIN. COUNCIL THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT.
