| 0 | 18. | Communication | Communication from the Department of Public Works relating to the status of Traffic-Calming and Complete Streets projects to address reckless driving and to provide a safer infrastructure for bicyclists and pedestrians.
Minutes note: Kevin Muhs - City Engineer
Ald. Bauman said that following up with Capital Improvements asked Mr. Muhs if there is a list of funded and unfunded projects for budget amendments because some of the council members would like to put more money on these on the assumption that the funds will be used.
Mr. Muhs said that they are working on an actual estimate and what would be the dictating factor of the capacity to utilize the funds at any given calendar year. He added that traffic calming needs are strong citywide. He said that they are going to get an estimate of additional funds that could be utilized based on staffing, consulting and contractor capacity.
Ald. Bauman said that the deadline is tomorrow. He also said that 5 year backlog for sidewalks makes the city looks bad.
Traffic Calming Update:
-Near the end of the construction season.
Rapid Implementation Projects:
-Almost all concrete and striping pavement marking works are done.
-Still working on installing signage on Burleigh, on the Sherman Park area and around UWM campus. He added that those orange barrels will stay out until the signage is up.

-Nearing the end of the city funds that went for reckless driving initiative for physical infrastructure.
-Concrete is done except for the W Galena project that will be done next week.

-There is one ARPA project (last one) that will let for construction on 2024 (reduction lanes and protected bike lanes) on Highland Av between 35th St and 20th St.
