We do have been from Stanger if there any project specifics 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:05.920 - Thank you 00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:07.920 - questions from the board on this item 00:14:07.920 --> 00:14:12.480 - So we talked a little bit 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.800 - yesterday in the work session about the 00:14:16.800 --> 00:14:25.420 - About engineering's preferences on the way that this is handled. Could you just recap a little bit 00:14:25.420 --> 00:14:26.160 - about the 00:14:26.160 --> 00:14:34.740 - The date span that we're approving and then also the type of restrictions 00:14:34.740 --> 00:14:41.080 - That would be approved. Yeah, at least requested by engineering. Yeah, absolutely 00:14:41.920 --> 00:14:46.910 - So I would say engineering staff's position is a little bit indifferent as to the length of this 00:14:46.910 --> 00:14:48.460 - requested closure period 00:14:48.460 --> 00:14:54.060 - We've had similar projects that took a shorter time span, but that might be crew specific crew 00:14:54.060 --> 00:14:54.700 - dependent 00:14:54.700 --> 00:14:57.720 - So it might just be resources being allocated 00:14:57.720 --> 00:15:05.420 - As far as the need for closure the submitted MOT there's going to be a few tweaks to it just some 00:15:05.420 --> 00:15:06.760 - additional signage things like that 00:15:06.760 --> 00:15:10.440 - Some of the local access there's still questions on 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:13.120 - So any points of this project? 00:15:13.120 --> 00:15:17.630 - I'm going to work very closely with Ben to make sure that we're keeping as much as that open for as 00:15:17.630 --> 00:15:18.680 - long as we can keep 00:15:18.680 --> 00:15:19.840 - open 00:15:19.840 --> 00:15:23.640 - Making sure that you know things aren't just being closed for the sake of being closed 00:15:23.640 --> 00:15:26.520 - And you know alleviating much of that 00:15:26.520 --> 00:15:29.600 - public nuisance as we can 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:34.360 - Is there any 00:15:34.360 --> 00:15:38.240 - Anticipation that one lane will remain open 00:15:39.080 --> 00:15:46.640 - During this closure or is the request from May 27th through August 1st to be both lanes 00:15:46.640 --> 00:15:50.160 - Potentially closed through the duration. Yes, so 00:15:50.160 --> 00:15:57.320 - We don't have that specifically lined out, but that'll be the goal to keep those as open as we can 00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:04.550 - So the specific constraint here is as you get closer to that West 17th roundabout that lane narrows 00:16:04.550 --> 00:16:05.320 - quite a bit 00:16:05.760 --> 00:16:10.160 - As you go further north, there's more shoulder width to work in 00:16:10.160 --> 00:16:13.780 - And then of course we want to make sure that we're not putting traffic in a position to where they're 00:16:13.780 --> 00:16:14.280 - going to be 00:16:14.280 --> 00:16:18.520 - Putting any kind of pressure on any of those open excavations even several feet away 00:16:18.520 --> 00:16:23.560 - The sub grade can be affected by heavy traffic flow. I 00:16:23.560 --> 00:16:29.640 - Think because it's such a long time frame and there were so many questions about 00:16:29.640 --> 00:16:34.840 - Not sure what will be open when I'm wondering if we can get a report partway through the summer 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.280 - Just how it's gone and for traffic flow 00:16:37.280 --> 00:16:40.480 - Yeah, that would be helpful for the board to get midway through 00:16:40.480 --> 00:16:46.240 - Great, thank you. Yeah 00:16:46.240 --> 00:16:52.040 - All right any public comments on this item 00:16:52.040 --> 00:17:00.040 - Yeah, you're welcome I just wanted to add that as part of this closure a 00:17:00.840 --> 00:17:06.800 - Requirement will be that there is a full depth repave of the lane where the street cut is that is 00:17:06.800 --> 00:17:07.680 - we're going to be a requirement 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:09.240 - of engineering 00:17:09.240 --> 00:17:11.240 - for the permit 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:14.160 - Thank you 00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:25.160 - Any public comments on this item if you're on zoom and you want to make a comment 00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:29.400 - You can use the chat function or the raised hand function to let us know if you're in the room 00:17:29.400 --> 00:17:31.400 - You're welcome to approach the microphone 00:17:31.400 --> 00:17:41.400 - All right, seeing none is there a motion I move that we approve the lane and road closures for Arlington 00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:42.740 - multifamily project 00:17:42.740 --> 00:17:47.560 - And I second I will call the roll crone. I Cox Deckard. I 00:17:47.560 --> 00:17:50.280 - motion passes 00:17:50.280 --> 00:17:55.240 - Next is approved temporary lane closures for hub to utility relocation 00:17:55.240 --> 00:17:57.240 - I 00:17:57.240 --> 00:18:09.840 - Know Maria McCormack from engineering. This is a request for a phased set of lane closures 00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:12.680 - for utility relocations 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:18.200 - For hub to which is going up on the north side of town 00:18:18.200 --> 00:18:23.640 - It will be bordered bordered by 17th Street to the south 19th Street to the north 00:18:24.480 --> 00:18:27.920 - Washington Street to the west and Lincoln Street to the east 00:18:27.920 --> 00:18:31.920 - They are proposing a phased closure of three weeks 00:18:31.920 --> 00:18:34.280 - per phase 00:18:34.280 --> 00:18:40.920 - To relocate the water sanitary and storm. They are also doing a full-depth 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:44.120 - repave of the roads 00:18:44.120 --> 00:18:47.880 - They will also be doing sidewalks tree plots 00:18:49.560 --> 00:18:54.560 - In conjunction with all of this then they will be putting in the final layer of asphalt 00:18:54.560 --> 00:18:58.300 - When the project is complete, I believe that is in 00:18:58.300 --> 00:19:02.720 - June of 27 00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:07.080 - So they'll get the roads will get rebuilt but they will leave the top layer of off the tip top 00:19:07.080 --> 00:19:08.680 - final layer of asphalt off 00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:11.320 - Which is standard practice 00:19:11.320 --> 00:19:18.200 - In in these situations you see this a lot in new public improvement developments 00:19:18.200 --> 00:19:22.760 - They'll build out the roads, but they'll leave the top layer of asphalt off so that it's not 00:19:22.760 --> 00:19:24.400 - damaged during construction 00:19:24.400 --> 00:19:32.650 - So this request is for the closures of North Washington Street East 19th Street and North Lincoln 00:19:32.650 --> 00:19:33.000 - Street 00:19:33.000 --> 00:19:35.480 - There will be additional utility 00:19:35.480 --> 00:19:41.040 - Relocation work in 17th Street, which we will come back to you at another time 00:19:41.040 --> 00:19:46.880 - For those closures. This closure does not include any work on 17th Street at this time 00:19:47.760 --> 00:19:49.160 - Thank you 00:19:49.160 --> 00:19:54.200 - Questions from the board on this item. So just confirming what I heard the dates for these closures 00:19:54.200 --> 00:19:54.800 - are summer 00:19:54.800 --> 00:20:00.240 - 2025 and the project is expected to be done in summer 2027. Yes 00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.480 - You're welcome 00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:12.280 - Yeah, if you can just introduce yourself, yeah name Jesse Graver I represent WC treehouse the 00:20:12.280 --> 00:20:13.360 - developer 00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:19.920 - And core space is the owner. So the closure that we are requesting will be for 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:27.120 - This summer and we would reopen the roads prior to IU school season starting 00:20:27.120 --> 00:20:33.060 - With the exception of the final coat of asphalt, which would be done at the end of our building 00:20:33.060 --> 00:20:34.960 - project in June of 2027 00:20:34.960 --> 00:20:38.160 - So that we will maintain 00:20:38.960 --> 00:20:46.540 - Maintain residential traffic to every property affected throughout the construction 00:20:46.540 --> 00:20:53.080 - But because of the separation of utilities required between water and sewer 00:20:53.080 --> 00:20:58.400 - We are basically going to have to dig up the entire road as we go 00:20:58.400 --> 00:21:06.480 - And so the temporary will be you know milled asphalt and or gravel and steel plates 00:21:06.480 --> 00:21:12.560 - But we will maintain, you know for all residences on those streets. We will remain 00:21:12.560 --> 00:21:15.480 - Maintain full-time access to their properties 00:21:15.480 --> 00:21:18.760 - and then with the 00:21:18.760 --> 00:21:24.440 - Commitment to having the base asphalt down and the curbs poured before the start of school of 00:21:24.440 --> 00:21:27.440 - 26 and 25 26 season 00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:34.360 - And can you describe what pedestrian access looks like to those other properties? 00:21:36.000 --> 00:21:42.520 - So currently there is no pedestrian access there there are no sidewalks along 00:21:42.520 --> 00:21:45.000 - Washington at all 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.800 - There are sidewalks along the there are some sidewalks along the north side of East 19th Street 00:21:51.800 --> 00:21:59.080 - And there are some sidewalks along the east side of North Lincoln. I believe the sidewalks 00:21:59.080 --> 00:22:04.040 - There they're disconnected. I believe that they will leave as much sidewalk 00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:11.080 - That's there on those sides that are not affecting their closures. They will leave as much of that 00:22:11.080 --> 00:22:11.680 - open as possible 00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:16.840 - Because the sidewalks that they're the pedestrian facilities that they are building 00:22:16.840 --> 00:22:19.440 - are within their properties 00:22:19.440 --> 00:22:21.560 - so 00:22:21.560 --> 00:22:25.920 - This is not an area that has really much pedestrian infrastructure at all at this point in time 00:22:25.920 --> 00:22:31.740 - So they really aren't impacting any pedestrian infrastructure 00:22:32.760 --> 00:22:39.860 - Because there's none there. Mm-hmm. And our MOT also includes a POT. So there is a pedestrian 00:22:39.860 --> 00:22:46.000 - Pedestrian maintenance of traffic plan. That's right. That's being implemented as well as 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.440 - Basically what sidewalks are there will have if they're if they can't keep them open 00:22:50.440 --> 00:22:54.120 - They will have a diversion right next to where the sidewalks were. Okay 00:22:54.120 --> 00:22:59.880 - Any other questions 00:23:00.720 --> 00:23:06.270 - I'm just looking at the notice of temporary road closure included in the packet and that goes 00:23:06.270 --> 00:23:08.160 - through August 24th 00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:10.960 - it looks like 00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:14.120 - The closure dates on this staff report go 00:23:14.120 --> 00:23:19.840 - Through August 13th. Yeah, I think we have just a little bit of extra wiggle room in there 00:23:19.840 --> 00:23:25.040 - Okay, I just I literally just went three weeks per on the calendar 00:23:25.040 --> 00:23:29.640 - And I think that their closure just gives them in a little bit of extra wiggle room 00:23:29.720 --> 00:23:34.480 - Okay, and I thought that you know, we would rather be done sooner than later 00:23:34.480 --> 00:23:38.720 - Especially because I you classes start again Monday, August 25th 00:23:38.720 --> 00:23:46.200 - I'm sure you're aware up in that area. So the move outs will begin August 1st 00:23:46.200 --> 00:23:52.520 - They usually do August 1st move out August 15th move in so it'll really start to pick up 00:23:52.520 --> 00:23:57.320 - They're heavy in that very first part of August. So it's you know, the sooner the better up there 00:23:57.800 --> 00:23:59.800 - Yeah 00:23:59.800 --> 00:24:07.800 - Yes, no, they're at the epicenter they have worked really hard to get this closure down 00:24:07.800 --> 00:24:12.480 - And they have shortened it significantly from their initial request 00:24:12.480 --> 00:24:16.200 - So 00:24:16.200 --> 00:24:22.880 - Any other questions any public comments on this item 00:24:23.880 --> 00:24:25.880 - I 00:24:25.880 --> 00:24:36.640 - Move that we approve the temporary road closures for hub to utility relocation and I second 00:24:36.640 --> 00:24:39.960 - I will call the roll Caron. I Cox Deckard. I 00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:42.480 - motion passes 00:24:42.480 --> 00:24:47.640 - Next up. We have approved addendum number one to BFD logistics center with Weddle Brothers 00:24:51.680 --> 00:24:55.240 - Good evening max Litwin deputy chief with Bloomington Fire Department 00:24:55.240 --> 00:25:01.880 - This addendum is to expand the use of public safety bond funds to encompass some items that were 00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:04.240 - uncovered during the planning and development stage 00:25:04.240 --> 00:25:07.880 - of this project of which the majority of them consisted of 00:25:07.880 --> 00:25:10.400 - upgrades and requirements 00:25:10.400 --> 00:25:14.960 - Udl requirements to the parcel as well as some significant amount of site work that was needed 00:25:14.960 --> 00:25:20.280 - Questions on this item 00:25:21.280 --> 00:25:25.000 - Any public comments on this item? 00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:34.730 - Seeing none is there a motion. I move that we approve addendum number one to BFD logistics center 00:25:34.730 --> 00:25:37.000 - with Weddle Brothers 00:25:37.000 --> 00:25:43.420 - And I second I will call the roll Caron. I Cox Deckard. I motion passes 00:25:43.420 --> 00:25:49.520 - Next is a thank you. Thank you approve closure requests for popular development 00:25:49.520 --> 00:25:51.520 - It 00:25:51.520 --> 00:26:01.840 - Was missing the s 00:26:01.840 --> 00:26:06.120 - That's all right, so it's Alex Gray from engineering so 00:26:06.120 --> 00:26:14.280 - FA Wilhelm is working on the poplar's development with IU and they are requesting some additional 00:26:14.280 --> 00:26:15.200 - closure 00:26:16.520 --> 00:26:21.800 - To help working on the building and for those that don't really know where poplar's is it is along 00:26:21.800 --> 00:26:23.040 - East 7th Street between 00:26:23.040 --> 00:26:25.040 - North Dunn and North Grant 00:26:25.040 --> 00:26:30.850 - So it encompasses those kind of blocks and then on the back side is an alley that's right by the 00:26:30.850 --> 00:26:32.200 - parking garage there 00:26:32.200 --> 00:26:35.200 - so this request 00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:39.400 - Would be that they would add to their additional closure 00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:43.860 - Which is where they have the bike lane on seventh closed between North and Grant they would like to 00:26:43.860 --> 00:26:45.040 - add the sidewalk on the 00:26:45.520 --> 00:26:49.100 - Eastern side of North Grant Street and close that as well 00:26:49.100 --> 00:26:54.230 - That way they can push their fence out and have a little bit more space on that side when they go 00:26:54.230 --> 00:26:55.280 - through and start doing 00:26:55.280 --> 00:26:57.280 - masonry work 00:26:57.280 --> 00:27:05.360 - And this closure they would like to have it be from May 29th to July 25th 00:27:05.360 --> 00:27:08.040 - of this year and 00:27:11.080 --> 00:27:16.520 - Let me see they originally normally the way the code is is that 00:27:16.520 --> 00:27:23.040 - If there isn't if there's a potential to where to do a walk around we like to do one in this 00:27:23.040 --> 00:27:23.620 - instance 00:27:23.620 --> 00:27:27.080 - there is a concern that if we put a walk around which would be on 00:27:27.080 --> 00:27:33.600 - Adjacent to the sidewalk it would make it where that's the cars and everything else that was in 00:27:33.600 --> 00:27:34.960 - that area would not be able to 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:41.230 - Make the turn from 7th on to grant because there's a bump out that is over at the entrance which 00:27:41.230 --> 00:27:43.000 - makes the turn radius a little 00:27:43.000 --> 00:27:46.640 - too sharp for most vehicles and so we didn't think that was 00:27:46.640 --> 00:27:48.880 - reasonable to 00:27:48.880 --> 00:27:53.640 - Kind of allow because then it would essentially close grant which is not what we want 00:27:53.640 --> 00:27:56.520 - so we have requested them to 00:27:56.520 --> 00:27:58.960 - do a 00:27:58.960 --> 00:28:03.930 - Just a regular sidewalk detour and then we also had some discussion about whether or not we wanted 00:28:03.930 --> 00:28:04.720 - to put it at mid-block 00:28:04.720 --> 00:28:10.790 - Which would be kind of a less of the sidewalk closed and that would utilize the alley and then kind 00:28:10.790 --> 00:28:12.080 - of the curb ramps there 00:28:12.080 --> 00:28:17.040 - but we found that those were not a DA accessible and we didn't want to 00:28:17.040 --> 00:28:22.350 - Have someone go through and use those and there was also concern of lighting if it was going to be 00:28:22.350 --> 00:28:23.000 - lit enough at night 00:28:23.000 --> 00:28:30.050 - So we just said that they can use 6th Street and then 7th. So we'll use a full block closure for 00:28:30.050 --> 00:28:30.840 - the sidewalk 00:28:32.360 --> 00:28:34.600 - And then as a note 00:28:34.600 --> 00:28:37.440 - They will have some additional 00:28:37.440 --> 00:28:40.200 - sidewalk closure in 00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:42.200 - 2026 but we'll 00:28:42.200 --> 00:28:44.240 - Have more information when it gets time 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:52.320 - Thank you questions from the board 00:28:52.320 --> 00:28:57.840 - Any public comments on this item 00:29:01.000 --> 00:29:06.710 - Seeing none, is there a motion? I move that we approve the closure request for Poplar development 00:29:06.710 --> 00:29:08.340 - and I second 00:29:08.340 --> 00:29:14.560 - I will call the roll crown. I Cox Deckard.

We had months of delay 00:29:59.440 --> 00:30:01.440 - finally getting this 00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:08.220 - All taken care of and this is just to formalize the contract with Renaissance for the 22,000 for 00:30:08.220 --> 00:30:09.360 - demolition on the awning 00:30:09.360 --> 00:30:15.480 - We're hoping to get reimbursed some of that from the state, but we're still waiting to hear 00:30:15.480 --> 00:30:23.600 - Questions from the board any public comments on this item 00:30:27.640 --> 00:30:29.640 - Seeing none 00:30:29.640 --> 00:30:32.800 - Is there a motion 00:30:32.800 --> 00:30:36.320 - Miranda do you have something? 00:30:36.320 --> 00:30:41.440 - Thank you seemed quiet I 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:46.600 - Moved that we approved the contract with Renaissance ink for demolition of the awning at the Street 00:30:46.600 --> 00:30:48.640 - Division and I second 00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:51.940 - I will call the roll Caron.
