Which would you like to do first thank you I think I'll do leaf blowers of 463 00:46:45,00 --> 00:46:50,17 course so I want to talk to you about leaf blowers. I think you know that leaf 464 00:46:50,18 --> 00:46:57,11 blowers purse pollute but did you know that one hour of. Gasoline 465 00:46:57,12 --> 00:47:00,98 powered leaf blower use emits the same amount of pollution as 466 00:47:00,99 --> 00:47:07,55 a sedan driving from here to Denver that's when our plea for our use and also in 467 00:47:08,11 --> 00:47:14,05 some time next year the pollution the total amount of pollution put out by gasoline 468 00:47:14,06 --> 00:47:20,54 and diesel powered. Small off the road engines such as mainly lawn equipment 469 00:47:21,04 --> 00:47:25,47 that amount of pollution will exceed all of the pollution put out by said Dance by 470 00:47:25,48 --> 00:47:32,03 Sadam automobiles that's going to happen some time next year so I the Air Quality 471 00:47:32,04 --> 00:47:36,76 Management District is conducting another leaf blower exchange where they want to 472 00:47:36,77 --> 00:47:42,28 encourage commercial gardeners and gardeners who work for schools in other 473 00:47:42,29 --> 00:47:49,24 nonprofit organizations to turn in their gasoline or. Diesel 474 00:47:49,25 --> 00:47:53,21 powered lawn equipment leaf blowers and get 475 00:47:53,27 --> 00:47:56,28 a battery operated run equipment at 476 00:47:56,29 --> 00:48:01,50 a large discount and that it used to be that there was only one brand being offered 477 00:48:01,51 --> 00:48:07,20 in this exchange program but now six brands participate so I've left two kinds of 478 00:48:07,21 --> 00:48:08,80 flyers at the back one is 479 00:48:08,81 --> 00:48:12,65 a booklet that describes the six participating companies and all the different 480 00:48:12,66 --> 00:48:18,49 kinds of equipment there that are involved and the other is a. It's a flyer 481 00:48:18,50 --> 00:48:20,38 a bilingual flyer that has 482 00:48:21,16 --> 00:48:25,60 a program goals eligibility and all the details of this process how to go about 483 00:48:25,61 --> 00:48:32,54 doing that. So that's merely about our spiel and my other public comment 484 00:48:32,55 --> 00:48:37,31 is. As I want to tell you about two exciting events that are coming up out today in 485 00:48:37,32 --> 00:48:42,03 a heritage is hosting these or at the first one is actually being co-hosted with 486 00:48:42,04 --> 00:48:46,82 the library and that is out a diddy on April sixth and that's 487 00:48:46,83 --> 00:48:50,58 a fun programs as three pm at the library it's 488 00:48:50,59 --> 00:48:57,43 a fun program where out to dinner residents. Display their musical talents singing 489 00:48:57,44 --> 00:49:02,89 or playing songs that they've written about how to Deena. And if you're motivated 490 00:49:02,90 --> 00:49:06,12 to write a song I think there's still time to get her to submit 491 00:49:06,13 --> 00:49:10,85 a song to the committee just contact them to deny heritage but that's that's 492 00:49:10,86 --> 00:49:17,03 a two hour event at the library April sixth three pm. And the second event I want 493 00:49:17,04 --> 00:49:18,16 to tell you about is 494 00:49:18,71 --> 00:49:23,66 a third Thursday program also in April April eighteenth we're going to have 495 00:49:23,67 --> 00:49:29,91 a program on the urban heat island effect as effect on public health and what you 496 00:49:29,92 --> 00:49:34,07 can do to mitigate it and then we'll have one of the ways you can mitigate it by 497 00:49:34,08 --> 00:49:35,57 the way I'll let you in on 498 00:49:35,58 --> 00:49:40,70 a secret is trees and so we will also have two speakers on trees what's happening 499 00:49:40,71 --> 00:49:42,71 to trees and out to dinner so be 500 00:49:42,72 --> 00:49:48,50 a great program the first speakers. Someone from the Department of Public Health 501 00:49:48,51 --> 00:49:51,60 she's a great speaker and it's going to be 502 00:49:51,93 --> 00:49:56,80 a great program that's April eighteenth at seven pm here at the Community Center 503 00:49:57,87 --> 00:50:04,16 thank you thank you so much. That's OK That concludes the 504 00:50:04,20 --> 00:50:05,99 general public comments 505 00:50:06,88 --> 00:50:13,63 a special presentation. That will be. Vision zero action 506 00:50:13,64 --> 00:50:20,50 plan. Much to the bill 507 00:50:20,91 --> 00:50:21,14 for. 508 00:50:41,53 --> 00:50:42,16 But I do. 509 00:50:50,94 --> 00:50:51,38 Know you're 510 00:50:51,42 --> 00:51:24,75 a courier there. With 511 00:51:24,76 --> 00:51:31,53 extreme. OK so they cue first 512 00:51:31,54 --> 00:51:36,55 off to Dorothy for providing technical assistance here Good evening and thank you 513 00:51:36,56 --> 00:51:40,52 to the town council for inviting me here tonight to talk about 514 00:51:40,80 --> 00:51:46,38 a new county traffic safety initiative called Vision zero My name is Matt dubio and 515 00:51:46,39 --> 00:51:47,23 I'm with L.A. 516 00:51:47,24 --> 00:51:54,10 County Public Works and if you go to the next slide please some of you may 517 00:51:54,11 --> 00:51:58,30 have already be familiar with this initiative because we have presented a other L. 518 00:51:58,31 --> 00:52:01,52 To Dean a dense specifically the safe streets were 519 00:52:01,53 --> 00:52:06,34 a group that Dorothy long leads by show of hands just out of curiosity how many 520 00:52:06,35 --> 00:52:10,88 people are familiar with vision zero. OK 521 00:52:10,89 --> 00:52:15,32 a few. So for those of you who are not familiar vision zero as 522 00:52:15,33 --> 00:52:21,49 a traffic safety initiative to eliminate traffic fatalities. It is 523 00:52:21,50 --> 00:52:26,31 a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to enhancing traffic safety it brings 524 00:52:26,32 --> 00:52:32,12 together engineers planners law enforcement public health officials and 525 00:52:32,13 --> 00:52:37,87 professionals and folks like you are communities the vision zero concept is 526 00:52:37,88 --> 00:52:43,49 centered around recognising that people make mistakes then that everyone is human. 527 00:52:44,51 --> 00:52:48,08 Vision zero approach recognizes this and it's necessary to look at our 528 00:52:48,09 --> 00:52:53,29 transportation system differently so that those mistakes are less likely to lead to 529 00:52:53,54 --> 00:52:59,56 severe injury or death so as part of our initiative we will be looking at 530 00:52:59,83 --> 00:53:06,42 engineering enhanced Mintz educational programs focused in Foresman and evaluation 531 00:53:07,16 --> 00:53:13,69 too to combat those traffic fatalities and severe injuries vision zero 532 00:53:13,73 --> 00:53:17,24 originated in Sweden in the late one nine hundred ninety S. 533 00:53:17,55 --> 00:53:20,93 And has been adopted by many jurisdictions across the U.S. 534 00:53:21,75 --> 00:53:25,43 In recent years pacifically and started in the U.S. 535 00:53:25,44 --> 00:53:30,44 In New York City. In two thousand and fourteen they launched their vision zero 536 00:53:30,45 --> 00:53:36,61 initiative and since then traffic fatalities have declined by twenty nine percent 537 00:53:36,87 --> 00:53:43,06 so we know that it does work if it's implemented properly New York City also has 538 00:53:43,07 --> 00:53:43,44 seen 539 00:53:43,45 --> 00:53:49,29 a reduction of forty five percent in pedestrian fatalities alone. Because of these 540 00:53:49,30 --> 00:53:54,41 successes in New York City vision zero has been adopted in many other U.S. 541 00:53:54,42 --> 00:54:00,88 Cities including Denver San Francisco Seattle our neighbors at the city of 542 00:54:00,89 --> 00:54:01,50 L.A. 543 00:54:02,32 --> 00:54:09,05 As well as others. So why is vision zero in 544 00:54:09,09 --> 00:54:15,13 unincorporated county of Los Angeles so important over the past five years we've 545 00:54:15,14 --> 00:54:19,64 seen an upward trend in the number of people killed and severely injured in traffic 546 00:54:19,65 --> 00:54:25,82 collisions on our streets that we maintain in the county this is obviously not what 547 00:54:25,83 --> 00:54:31,07 we want to see with vision zero all of our efforts will be aimed at reversing this 548 00:54:31,08 --> 00:54:37,61 trend. You know when when hearing statistics it's very easy to forget that 549 00:54:37,74 --> 00:54:41,41 each one of these numbers up on the screen represents 550 00:54:41,42 --> 00:54:47,74 a person's life if you can go to the next slide please this map it shows all the 551 00:54:47,75 --> 00:54:51,12 collisions that have occurred in the five year period from twenty thirteen to 552 00:54:51,13 --> 00:54:55,49 twenty seventeen and the red dots up here they represent 553 00:54:55,71 --> 00:55:02,26 a collision that resulted in at least one fatality so each red dot is one collision 554 00:55:02,70 --> 00:55:08,77 but it's important to know that one collision could result in multiple deaths. And 555 00:55:08,78 --> 00:55:13,13 the yellow represents those collisions resulted in 556 00:55:13,14 --> 00:55:19,34 a severe injury. So as you can see collisions are happening everywhere throughout 557 00:55:19,49 --> 00:55:20,75 the county but there's 558 00:55:20,79 --> 00:55:27,22 a large concentration of those collisions in our more urbanized areas. On 559 00:55:27,23 --> 00:55:33,00 average more than eighty people lose their lives annually on our roadways each year 560 00:55:34,00 --> 00:55:37,43 this means that more than eighty families have to mourn the loss of 561 00:55:37,44 --> 00:55:44,28 a loved one could be fathers mothers sons daughters partners grandfathers 562 00:55:44,32 --> 00:55:47,37 grandmothers. You know so it is 563 00:55:47,38 --> 00:55:54,28 a large issue that we are up against but were were excited to take on the task 564 00:55:54,29 --> 00:55:57,23 and lower these numbers so as 565 00:55:57,24 --> 00:56:02,88 a continue on with the presentation this evening I would just encourage everyone to 566 00:56:02,89 --> 00:56:09,31 keep in mind the vision zero is more than and just reducing statistics that these 567 00:56:09,32 --> 00:56:12,60 numbers actually represent a person's life 568 00:56:12,98 --> 00:56:18,34 a person's life that was that was lost so your support in this initiative in your 569 00:56:18,35 --> 00:56:23,82 leadership in your community to enhance traffic safety will will help us eliminate 570 00:56:23,83 --> 00:56:28,40 traffic fatalities and severe injuries throughout this throughout the region next 571 00:56:28,41 --> 00:56:31,66 slide. This is 572 00:56:31,67 --> 00:56:35,48 a little bit hard to see if you're in the back of the room but to better understand 573 00:56:35,49 --> 00:56:38,02 what leads to fail in severe injury collisions we took 574 00:56:38,03 --> 00:56:44,75 a look at the top primary collision factors and. Table there indicates that the 575 00:56:44,76 --> 00:56:49,40 highest percentage countywide was found to be unsafe speeding at nineteen percent 576 00:56:49,54 --> 00:56:50,19 that was 577 00:56:50,58 --> 00:56:56,96 a Throughout the entire county. Next slide. In regards to vehicle 578 00:56:56,97 --> 00:56:59,63 speeds we know that higher speeds make avoiding 579 00:56:59,64 --> 00:57:04,00 a collision more difficult and can increase the severity of the collision the 580 00:57:04,01 --> 00:57:08,40 relationship between speed and injury severity is especially critical when 581 00:57:08,41 --> 00:57:11,44 a collision involves a person riding 582 00:57:11,45 --> 00:57:16,90 a bicycle or walking. And this little graphic here shows if 583 00:57:16,91 --> 00:57:22,12 a person walking is struck by a vehicle travelling at forty miles an hour there's 584 00:57:22,13 --> 00:57:28,19 a ninety percent chance that they will be killed. If we reduce the speeds to twenty 585 00:57:28,20 --> 00:57:34,28 miles an hour that percentage drops to ten and so speed definitely still plays an 586 00:57:34,29 --> 00:57:40,71 issue. In this next slide. So 587 00:57:40,72 --> 00:57:45,92 a little bit about how we came up with this plan to the board recognize that 588 00:57:45,93 --> 00:57:51,76 traffic deaths were trending upwards and they took action in two thousand and 589 00:57:52,37 --> 00:57:58,41 twenty sixteen they directed colleagues said the Department of Public Health. In 590 00:57:58,42 --> 00:58:04,01 consultation with several other departments including public works to analyze data 591 00:58:04,02 --> 00:58:06,53 and report back on what it would take to implement 592 00:58:06,59 --> 00:58:13,13 a vision zero initiative for the unincorporated County communities This led to of 593 00:58:13,17 --> 00:58:13,47 about 594 00:58:13,48 --> 00:58:18,07 a fifty page report that highlighted the need through statistics and other means 595 00:58:18,85 --> 00:58:25,22 for vision zero initiative proposed in the report proposed approaches and how to 596 00:58:25,23 --> 00:58:28,54 implement a vision zero initiative including the need to have 597 00:58:28,58 --> 00:58:31,14 a. Partnership structure 598 00:58:31,57 --> 00:58:38,52 a communication plan and an action plan among other things and then in February of 599 00:58:38,53 --> 00:58:43,11 two thousand and seventeen they took action again in unanimously passed 600 00:58:43,15 --> 00:58:49,29 a another board motion that directed public works and department public health to 601 00:58:49,30 --> 00:58:54,18 Kohl lead the vision zero initiative and implement the strategies and actions that 602 00:58:54,19 --> 00:58:59,33 were described in that fifty page report that I had mentioned. Next slide. 603 00:59:00,95 --> 00:59:05,07 So public works and public health have been leading the day to day coronation to 604 00:59:05,08 --> 00:59:10,92 develop an action plan however we've been working extremely closely with all of our 605 00:59:10,93 --> 00:59:16,35 partners at other county departments and our regional partners. 606 00:59:17,77 --> 00:59:22,29 Such as the part apartment Sheriff's Department and the California Highway Patrol 607 00:59:22,77 --> 00:59:27,31 who are both here tonight as you know during the development of the action plan 608 00:59:27,32 --> 00:59:31,20 itself as you're aware the C.H.P. 609 00:59:31,49 --> 00:59:36,64 Provides track of traffic enforcement for corporate county areas and including. 610 00:59:38,45 --> 00:59:43,54 We've also engaged with community based organizations as well as other nonprofit 611 00:59:43,55 --> 00:59:50,15 organizations to gain their valuable feedback next slide. So we 612 00:59:50,16 --> 00:59:56,16 discussed discussed previously the contributing factors to traffic collisions in 613 00:59:56,20 --> 01:00:01,78 the unincorporated Los Angeles County communities speeding one being one of them so 614 01:00:01,79 --> 01:00:06,28 Next we wanted to better understand where these fatal and severe injury collisions 615 01:00:06,29 --> 01:00:11,22 were actually occurring so in addition to analyzing the primary collision factors 616 01:00:11,23 --> 01:00:17,41 we conducted in in-depth data analysis to determine where where projects and 617 01:00:17,42 --> 01:00:24,01 programs were most needed. Our analysis showed that fifty percent of traffic 618 01:00:24,02 --> 01:00:29,47 fatality and severe injury collisions occurred in just three point seven percent. 619 01:00:30,53 --> 01:00:35,73 Of on incorporate County roadways just to give you an idea the three point we 620 01:00:35,77 --> 01:00:41,23 maintain about thirty four hundred lane miles of roadways throughout the 621 01:00:41,24 --> 01:00:45,58 incorporate county areas so that three point seven percent amounts to about one 622 01:00:45,59 --> 01:00:48,14 hundred twenty five miles. This was 623 01:00:48,15 --> 01:00:54,83 a huge I hope an ing statistic for us basically if we focus our efforts on just 624 01:00:54,84 --> 01:00:59,61 three roughly three percent four percent of our roadways we will have addressed 625 01:00:59,65 --> 01:01:05,13 fifty percent of the traffic fatality and severe injury collisions that occur on 626 01:01:05,14 --> 01:01:10,66 our roadways. So next. We defined 627 01:01:10,70 --> 01:01:16,45 a collision concentration corridor as any half mile roadway segment that contains 628 01:01:16,46 --> 01:01:21,36 three or more fatal or severe injury collisions within the last five years and 629 01:01:21,37 --> 01:01:27,25 that's twenty thirteen and twenty seventeen. And this map up on the screen shows 630 01:01:27,99 --> 01:01:31,60 the red lines on the map show that the streets where these played on severe injury 631 01:01:31,64 --> 01:01:38,29 collisions are occurring right here in El to Diena. We have. To do you know drive 632 01:01:38,81 --> 01:01:44,75 and that's approximately from go to Lake. We have Lake 633 01:01:45,16 --> 01:01:52,00 approximately from Kill verus to Woodbury and then we have Elma Lino from Mendocino 634 01:01:52,01 --> 01:01:58,83 into Woodbury as well. Well to Dino wide unsafe speeding 635 01:01:58,84 --> 01:02:05,26 accounted for ten percent of the fatal and severe injury collisions and the top 636 01:02:05,27 --> 01:02:09,94 mode of fatal in severe injury collisions in this particular area was pedestrian 637 01:02:09,95 --> 01:02:16,81 collisions and that was at twenty seven percent. If you can go to the next 638 01:02:16,82 --> 01:02:23,74 slide please and I just want to know that our action plan which everyone if you had 639 01:02:23,75 --> 01:02:29,14 picked up the flyer there's flyers in the back regarding vision zero they look look 640 01:02:29,15 --> 01:02:29,87 like this has 641 01:02:29,88 --> 01:02:33,92 a lot of information on it regarding where you can go online to find our action 642 01:02:33,93 --> 01:02:35,09 plan and I'll get into that 643 01:02:35,10 --> 01:02:40,62 a little bit but in this action plan that map that we just saw is on page thirty 644 01:02:40,63 --> 01:02:43,24 six so if you want to take 645 01:02:43,25 --> 01:02:47,51 a note of that if you don't have time to read the entire thing thirty six page 646 01:02:47,52 --> 01:02:53,96 thirty six does show them the map of this community. So we discussed briefly the 647 01:02:53,97 --> 01:02:58,17 contributing factors to traffic collisions in an incorporeal Los Angeles area is 648 01:02:58,74 --> 01:03:00,17 speeding be a one of them like 649 01:03:00,18 --> 01:03:06,65 a like I mentioned. And like I said the map is on page thirty six pictured on this 650 01:03:06,66 --> 01:03:08,57 slide here is 651 01:03:08,58 --> 01:03:12,76 a table of the top twenty collision concentration corridors where traffic 652 01:03:12,77 --> 01:03:18,29 fatalities and severe injuries are occurring This is county wide over the next five 653 01:03:18,30 --> 01:03:23,50 years the roadways on this list and I know it's probably extremely hard to see in 654 01:03:23,51 --> 01:03:29,54 the back. This is where we will focus our vision zero efforts I mean in the county 655 01:03:29,55 --> 01:03:34,49 will see project funding to implement vision zero projects specifically on these 656 01:03:34,50 --> 01:03:41,03 corridors now when you review the plan and if you. Get Enough I said to see this 657 01:03:41,04 --> 01:03:45,39 table and I apologize I should have blown that up for you but it isn't the plan. 658 01:03:46,78 --> 01:03:52,55 Even though that I'll to Dina is not listed on this top twenty the county will 659 01:03:52,56 --> 01:03:57,36 still be actively working in this particular community to incorporate vision zero 660 01:03:57,37 --> 01:04:03,97 concepts into new projects as opportunities arise so this 661 01:04:03,98 --> 01:04:10,00 initiative is really to focus our our county efforts. 662 01:04:11,06 --> 01:04:17,99 On reducing and eventually eliminating countywide traffic fatalities as I mentioned 663 01:04:18,00 --> 01:04:19,38 earlier and as you saw it is 664 01:04:19,42 --> 01:04:26,12 a large county wide issue with that said. Like I 665 01:04:26,13 --> 01:04:32,75 mentioned this top twenty will be our focus for specific vision zero 666 01:04:32,76 --> 01:04:38,20 driven projects however there are many things in the plan which I'll mention here 667 01:04:38,21 --> 01:04:38,28 in 668 01:04:38,29 --> 01:04:45,25 a minute that will contribute and. Address issues that you're seeing right here 669 01:04:45,26 --> 01:04:46,30 in your own community. 670 01:04:52,68 --> 01:04:57,50 They'll be programmatic efforts that will benefit the community such as the school 671 01:04:57,51 --> 01:04:59,41 program I know the met earlier there was 672 01:04:59,42 --> 01:05:06,33 a mention of the safety of school kids locally so there were definitely invested 673 01:05:06,34 --> 01:05:11,92 in Safe Routes to School Program and safe routes the senior program as well. If you 674 01:05:11,93 --> 01:05:17,38 go to the next slide visions your action plane continues our focus on enhancing the 675 01:05:17,39 --> 01:05:22,74 safety of our streets. It will guide our departments over the next five years to 676 01:05:22,75 --> 01:05:26,65 eliminate traffic fatalities in our communities by two thousand and thirty five so 677 01:05:26,66 --> 01:05:30,91 our goal is to eliminate all traffic fatalities in the county by twenty thirty five 678 01:05:30,91 --> 01:05:37,11 . In this plan will take us for the next five years we develop the plan in 679 01:05:37,12 --> 01:05:41,73 collaboration like I said earlier with multiple car and apartments and the C.H.P. 680 01:05:42,02 --> 01:05:46,79 In includes about sixty five actions that will take to reduce fatal and severe 681 01:05:46,80 --> 01:05:52,05 injury collisions the actions Oregon ised under five objectives which are listed 682 01:05:52,31 --> 01:05:54,98 appear on the slide and include 683 01:05:54,99 --> 01:06:01,11 a mix of changes to engineering infrastructure new programs like I mentioned 684 01:06:01,12 --> 01:06:06,43 earlier safe houses schools safe streets for seniors and focused education and 685 01:06:06,44 --> 01:06:08,95 enforcement efforts by the C.H.P. 686 01:06:09,84 --> 01:06:13,98 As they mentioned earlier during their report they're going to have some upcoming 687 01:06:14,97 --> 01:06:20,77 events here right here in El to Dino regarding. Mention distracted driving there's 688 01:06:20,78 --> 01:06:26,04 also great programs that they do for paired driving and something that's being more 689 01:06:26,05 --> 01:06:31,60 prevalent that we're seeing is drug driving. And of course we're going to do much 690 01:06:31,61 --> 01:06:38,33 much more analysis data analysis and. Reporting and transparency 691 01:06:38,34 --> 01:06:43,83 out to all of our constituents and we of course want to 692 01:06:43,84 --> 01:06:49,09 a belly way everything that we put in to make sure it is actually working. If you 693 01:06:49,10 --> 01:06:55,05 can go to the next slide please speed. King of putting things in in the ground 694 01:06:55,96 --> 01:07:00,11 across the county will be looking at many of our current practices and guidelines 695 01:07:00,15 --> 01:07:05,17 to see where enhancements can be made. These actions and maybe infrastructure 696 01:07:05,18 --> 01:07:10,70 changes like I mentioned left turn arrows enhanced cross walks which you call 697 01:07:11,10 --> 01:07:17,65 visibility crosswalks. Curveball belts and those are pictured up in the upper left 698 01:07:17,66 --> 01:07:22,43 hand corner there in those short in the crossing distance for pedestrians crossing 699 01:07:22,89 --> 01:07:25,39 the street and they also have 700 01:07:25,43 --> 01:07:31,85 a the ability to. A traffic calming effect for 701 01:07:32,58 --> 01:07:37,31 cars and vehicles because they need to slow down because it's a slower 702 01:07:37,67 --> 01:07:42,44 a smaller. Turning radius around the curb so 703 01:07:42,48 --> 01:07:49,14 a lot of beneficial things that could be coming your way. Next I 704 01:07:49,15 --> 01:07:55,26 please. The vision zero action plan is available online 705 01:07:55,52 --> 01:08:01,08 and the public period review period runs through March thirty first and there's 706 01:08:01,09 --> 01:08:05,09 multiple ways for the community to get involved and comment on the plan so we would 707 01:08:05,10 --> 01:08:09,37 encourage you to do so. On line through vision zero L.A. 708 01:08:09,38 --> 01:08:12,56 County dot com where you can download the plan in and take 709 01:08:12,57 --> 01:08:18,50 a look you can shoot us an e-mail vision zero at P. W. L. 710 01:08:18,51 --> 01:08:25,38 A county dot gov Please note that. We are no longer D.P.W. It is P.W. 711 01:08:26,33 --> 01:08:31,11 Nonetheless the e-mail address if you have e-mailed us previously D.P.W. 712 01:08:31,12 --> 01:08:34,67 Still does work but the new address is P.W. 713 01:08:35,67 --> 01:08:36,24 And we've set up 714 01:08:36,25 --> 01:08:43,15 a. Toll free hotline as well and you can also mail in your 715 01:08:43,16 --> 01:08:49,25 comments now for those of you who may not be tech savvy there are hard copies of 716 01:08:49,26 --> 01:08:55,10 the plan at all unincorporated county libraries that you may go in and check out. 717 01:08:56,72 --> 01:09:02,23 And with that I like you don't open it up for discussion or any questions that the 718 01:09:02,24 --> 01:09:08,49 council or community has just. Going to just 719 01:09:08,50 --> 01:09:11,94 a second for the council members to reassemble. 720 01:09:40,53 --> 01:09:47,18 Council members and you can do with the new Metro that it be built right now I 721 01:09:47,19 --> 01:09:52,08 understand that it won't be completed October thirtieth two thousand and twenty. 722 01:09:55,49 --> 01:10:00,97 When the when the rail is going across an intersection. 723 01:10:02,17 --> 01:10:09,13 There there's no. Bells that ring there is no what he call 724 01:10:09,14 --> 01:10:13,26 it the guard thing that comes down to the arms here they are nothing coming down 725 01:10:13,53 --> 01:10:13,97 you just see 726 01:10:13,98 --> 01:10:19,63 a little sign at the top that just blink blink blink. And I think cars you know 727 01:10:19,64 --> 01:10:23,29 just go across because you don't hear anything coming and then the next thing you 728 01:10:23,30 --> 01:10:24,67 know here comes the rail is there 729 01:10:24,68 --> 01:10:29,77 a specific intersection on the end of thanks in road Dale and cringe help on the 730 01:10:29,78 --> 01:10:36,57 bar on the end of exposition in Queens shelf one of our Ok so not in this community 731 01:10:36,61 --> 01:10:40,88 not at not over here OK that's where and that's where I'm I'm usually we're in that 732 01:10:40,89 --> 01:10:45,09 OK And you know you don't hear anything usually 733 01:10:45,10 --> 01:10:51,77 a bell or some kind of noise or something it's very quiet and in the winter Yeah 734 01:10:51,99 --> 01:10:58,03 I can tell you from my experience in the past I used to work for construction 735 01:10:58,78 --> 01:11:02,89 actually on the goal line projects when the this first got put in and I can tell 736 01:11:02,90 --> 01:11:09,55 you that each individual community. Has their specific requests and desires 737 01:11:09,56 --> 01:11:15,10 regarding rail crossings. And some communities 738 01:11:15,98 --> 01:11:18,44 bells are too much of 739 01:11:18,58 --> 01:11:25,09 a. Noise nuisance. With that the the 740 01:11:25,38 --> 01:11:30,34 Metro always tries to I don't speak on behalf of Metro but they always try to 741 01:11:30,35 --> 01:11:37,13 balance the two meaning the community's concerns as well as safety and 742 01:11:37,31 --> 01:11:40,15 just yesterday I was near L.A. 743 01:11:40,16 --> 01:11:47,11 Trade tech and they're all around Washington and heel and metro rail with like in 744 01:11:47,12 --> 01:11:50,85 the middle of the of the street but the cars were still going through the rail with 745 01:11:50,86 --> 01:11:57,15 waiting for the cars that go on and then when the cars by that yes so any 746 01:11:57,16 --> 01:12:03,70 unincorporated County communities where rail lines do cross intersections 747 01:12:04,64 --> 01:12:11,61 we look at and do extensive. Timing of the signal and we 748 01:12:11,62 --> 01:12:17,03 call it preemption and so the signal timing can be adjusted in such 749 01:12:17,04 --> 01:12:23,53 a low. Way to provide. Either priority to vehicles or priority to the trains 750 01:12:23,54 --> 01:12:30,32 themselves the traffic signal timing can get quite. Complicated when you 751 01:12:30,33 --> 01:12:36,08 have several different movements that need to take place but everything is tried we 752 01:12:36,09 --> 01:12:42,97 try to balance everyone's movement accordingly so that when yours if 753 01:12:42,98 --> 01:12:46,01 you're driving when you're come upon a red light 754 01:12:46,02 --> 01:12:51,09 a train is going by you're not sitting there for you know two minutes three minutes 755 01:12:51,70 --> 01:12:55,98 because all that does is create more greenhouse gas emissions than one that while 756 01:12:55,99 --> 01:12:57,86 you're sitting there idling So there really is 757 01:12:57,87 --> 01:13:04,03 a balance and we tried to make that happen so by the time the real that that the 758 01:13:04,04 --> 01:13:11,00 complete it all of that should be and gets in the water correct yes Metro 759 01:13:11,04 --> 01:13:16,96 works closely with the local jurisdictions for the unincorporated county areas they 760 01:13:16,97 --> 01:13:23,35 work closely with us. For any crossings that come through the road right away it's 761 01:13:23,35 --> 01:13:27,24 . But they would be working like in the city of L.A. 762 01:13:27,25 --> 01:13:28,05 Where you're 763 01:13:28,65 --> 01:13:32,63 a lot of the items what you're mentioning are locations that are mentioned in the 764 01:13:32,64 --> 01:13:33,37 city of L.A. 765 01:13:33,79 --> 01:13:40,10 I would imagine they'd be working with them as well. OK and some member Jones. 766 01:13:42,79 --> 01:13:49,50 You can an hundred it excited me and I printed it out I went through it and I got 767 01:13:49,51 --> 01:13:54,39 excited but I was also concerned I'm excited about the idea of better 768 01:13:54,40 --> 01:14:01,11 infrastructure leading to eliminating fatal unsafe ear severe injuries and but I'm 769 01:14:01,12 --> 01:14:06,09 concerned because of the low number of infrastructure projects that will be 770 01:14:06,10 --> 01:14:12,94 completed over a two to five year period. Compared to L.A. City the city of L.A. 771 01:14:13,20 --> 01:14:18,22 It's you guys are doing two projects a year or two projects in 772 01:14:18,23 --> 01:14:19,89 a five year period L.A. 773 01:14:19,90 --> 01:14:25,81 Maybe did one hundred. So if for example the fifteen. 774 01:14:27,58 --> 01:14:33,70 Projects on page seventy four implementing fully protected left turn 775 01:14:33,71 --> 01:14:40,71 facing at two intersections along. Collision concentration corridors 776 01:14:40,72 --> 01:14:43,71 in a two to five year period it seems like 777 01:14:43,72 --> 01:14:46,77 a very low number you're only doing two in 778 01:14:46,78 --> 01:14:53,63 a two to five year period and so that means will be even further behind the 779 01:14:53,64 --> 01:14:59,98 curve if you're doing all of the on incorporated and we're not really even in the 780 01:15:00,64 --> 01:15:07,25 beginning plans. And then what I wonder is 781 01:15:07,55 --> 01:15:12,73 are you looking at pedestrian safety or is it the cars you're more concerned about 782 01:15:12,73 --> 01:15:16,38 . Because it just seems like in my opinion 783 01:15:16,39 --> 01:15:20,75 a lot more could be done in two to five years and that would include out to Dina 784 01:15:21,51 --> 01:15:22,00 there's 785 01:15:22,81 --> 01:15:29,65 a lot more in here that I just thought that the time period allowed you to do more 786 01:15:29,66 --> 01:15:31,87 work. You know that 787 01:15:32,05 --> 01:15:38,89 a lot more could be done than. Two intersections in two to five years is not very 788 01:15:38,90 --> 01:15:41,50 much when you're talking about L.A. 789 01:15:41,51 --> 01:15:45,20 County So what I'd like to do is I would like to make 790 01:15:45,21 --> 01:15:50,54 a motion that the out the dean at Town Council in the safe streets Committee I know 791 01:15:50,55 --> 01:15:51,35 we only have two and 792 01:15:51,36 --> 01:15:57,41 a half weeks but that we review this between zero and see how we can make it better 793 01:15:57,45 --> 01:16:03,67 because they are taking input they've listed in newspapers asking for input and 794 01:16:03,68 --> 01:16:09,44 that we put our input in there so that we can help you make it more efficient and 795 01:16:09,45 --> 01:16:15,53 more effective for our community we don't want to miss out on an opportunity for Al 796 01:16:15,54 --> 01:16:21,69 to Diena So that's my motion if chair will OK. 797 01:16:23,28 --> 01:16:28,94 Again thank you for your comments what I will suggest is that the executive 798 01:16:28,95 --> 01:16:34,57 committee. I'm with you do March thirty first. 799 01:16:36,08 --> 01:16:39,89 And let me do this let me be for you to council member. 800 01:16:43,20 --> 01:16:50,07 Well of first of all of I didn't know what council member Jones says here so I 801 01:16:50,46 --> 01:16:52,49 we were looking forward to having 802 01:16:52,50 --> 01:16:58,97 a deeper discussion with the Safe Streets committee and council members and even 803 01:16:58,98 --> 01:17:04,97 community members who want to better understand and that was going to be my 804 01:17:04,98 --> 01:17:11,40 question within this time frame you know we can come up with some you know General 805 01:17:11,52 --> 01:17:18,18 priorities at the same time. You know it be good to know what's most effective for 806 01:17:18,19 --> 01:17:24,09 me like What are you looking for in this ten day period whatever we have left now. 807 01:17:25,90 --> 01:17:32,03 You know so I don't know if you can help us in any form yes. Just so during one 808 01:17:32,04 --> 01:17:34,39 moment for protocol purposes there was 809 01:17:34,40 --> 01:17:41,09 a motion and I did not OK perfect now we can talk about that so there is 810 01:17:41,10 --> 01:17:47,42 a motion and probably second that so now off with discussion so go ahead 811 01:17:48,01 --> 01:17:48,89 sure so there are 812 01:17:48,90 --> 01:17:52,88 a lot of different points made and I'll try to remember and address each one of 813 01:17:52,89 --> 01:17:58,37 them if I don't think these please remind me so this action plan like you mentioned 814 01:17:58,38 --> 01:17:58,92 is for 815 01:17:58,93 --> 01:18:04,53 a five year period. Since we're just beginning this action plan this is the first 816 01:18:04,76 --> 01:18:06,46 five years of it there's 817 01:18:06,47 --> 01:18:13,31 a lot of things in this plan that will have us beginning to revamp and look 818 01:18:13,32 --> 01:18:19,77 at all of our current guidelines so you may not see infrastructure 819 01:18:19,78 --> 01:18:25,62 projects particularly happening on the roadways around us but I assure you we will 820 01:18:25,63 --> 01:18:32,60 be working on revamping guidelines in seeing where we've been where there are those 821 01:18:32,61 --> 01:18:39,31 holes are and so that not only will help the areas where the pollution 822 01:18:39,32 --> 01:18:46,00 concentration corridors are or the top. Twenty Lis but it will help. All 823 01:18:46,01 --> 01:18:48,65 communities because if you have 824 01:18:48,66 --> 01:18:55,15 a particular concern you know our investigation section within within the public 825 01:18:55,16 --> 01:18:57,23 works you can give them 826 01:18:57,24 --> 01:19:01,87 a ring and they will come and investigate it now that doesn't provide those new 827 01:19:01,97 --> 01:19:08,11 guidelines they will go ahead and be following that could be. You know. 828 01:19:09,48 --> 01:19:12,59 We don't know what guidelines will need revamping right now but we're committed to 829 01:19:12,60 --> 01:19:17,56 looking at all of our current guidelines traffic related and seeing if the 830 01:19:17,57 --> 01:19:21,93 thresholds need to be lowered or what what needs to happen in order to make it 831 01:19:22,54 --> 01:19:28,39 a more robust type of guidelines so everyone will be following those new revamped 832 01:19:28,40 --> 01:19:33,61 guidelines Additionally as I mentioned before they'll be programatic changes say 833 01:19:33,62 --> 01:19:34,88 for us a school programs 834 01:19:34,89 --> 01:19:41,71 a process in your program that those programs are going to be. Likely rolled out 835 01:19:41,72 --> 01:19:48,49 countywide. You know we will start likely in the areas where the collisions are 836 01:19:48,50 --> 01:19:55,02 more prevalent but that doesn't mean that your community won't have the benefit of 837 01:19:55,03 --> 01:20:01,97 having that. That answers some and then left turn phase and you mentioned that 838 01:20:01,98 --> 01:20:06,85 there would be two two particular projects now that that is 839 01:20:06,89 --> 01:20:13,29 a minimum obviously and that does not preclude us from 840 01:20:13,48 --> 01:20:19,06 from going in and doing more than that and doing more than that outside of the 841 01:20:19,07 --> 01:20:25,78 closure of concentration orders as it stands now. Our group currently has. 842 01:20:27,46 --> 01:20:34,05 Left turn phasing requests in they analyze those that have nothing to do with the 843 01:20:34,06 --> 01:20:39,51 vision zero plan. So if there is a you know 844 01:20:39,56 --> 01:20:46,49 a request from the community. Indicates you know we we really think that you know 845 01:20:46,50 --> 01:20:52,47 a left turn arrow should be put in here because people just can't find enough gaps 846 01:20:52,48 --> 01:20:53,27 to make 847 01:20:53,28 --> 01:20:59,45 a left turn at whatever intersection. We're not shutting down from your community 848 01:20:59,46 --> 01:21:06,15 just because of this plan. We want to hear that we will take that in and we won't 849 01:21:06,16 --> 01:21:09,98 VESA gay that if it does indeed warrant 850 01:21:10,06 --> 01:21:13,44 a left turn. Facing 851 01:21:13,45 --> 01:21:17,93 a left turn arrow you know we will look at putting that in if there's 852 01:21:17,97 --> 01:21:24,91 a bill about funding to do so so I think. I think you had dressed 853 01:21:24,92 --> 01:21:30,20 one of the questions that was going to ask you and that is going to come back to 854 01:21:30,21 --> 01:21:37,10 you they funded the vision is their vision zero but and you 855 01:21:37,11 --> 01:21:42,37 and I take an input and now I hear you now to Dean and we do know that. 856 01:21:44,11 --> 01:21:50,83 Some areas and corridos that we like what will power that one vision zero 857 01:21:51,07 --> 01:21:57,80 zero Easdale and so on those projects and what not projects on those ever. 858 01:21:58,01 --> 01:22:05,00 As you say and we can reach out to you the Public Works and say OK this is 859 01:22:05,01 --> 01:22:09,91 the traffic concern that will be consistent with divisions there and then you 860 01:22:09,92 --> 01:22:14,86 advice to get it and hopefully they'll be funded but the key thing is funding is 861 01:22:14,87 --> 01:22:20,97 there money that he set aside to be able to actualize visions interest so 862 01:22:21,01 --> 01:22:27,59 a lot of this right now where the action plan is out for review the plan is in and 863 01:22:27,60 --> 01:22:32,82 I apologize I didn't mention it in my formal presentation but the plan is once we 864 01:22:32,83 --> 01:22:39,61 get formal comment back. We will address those comments the best we can put it in 865 01:22:39,62 --> 01:22:45,03 a final document and present that to the board sometime this summer. Or in early 866 01:22:45,04 --> 01:22:51,93 summer and at that point. That actual report will go in 867 01:22:51,97 --> 01:22:53,86 with what it will take 868 01:22:53,87 --> 01:22:59,34 a funding request if you will of what it will take to carry this out at that point 869 01:22:59,35 --> 01:23:03,39 then the board. Will make 870 01:23:03,40 --> 01:23:08,28 a decision on you know where exactly the the funding for all of this may come from 871 01:23:08,55 --> 01:23:14,44 now we have course always have grand opportunities and I know that this particular 872 01:23:14,45 --> 01:23:20,72 community has always been great at. Partnering with us in putting in those those 873 01:23:20,73 --> 01:23:25,92 grants and most recently with. Skag grants over the whole of the whole group. 874 01:23:27,15 --> 01:23:32,44 Unfortunately we didn't we're not awarded that for this community but you know I 875 01:23:32,45 --> 01:23:39,21 would encourage all of us to continue to seek those opportunities and where we're 876 01:23:39,22 --> 01:23:45,00 definitely willing to to partner with you in those opportunities and so that's why 877 01:23:45,01 --> 01:23:51,76 I mentioned earlier as opportunities arise in this particular community we will try 878 01:23:51,77 --> 01:23:58,39 to put in. Vision zero type improvements 879 01:23:58,40 --> 01:24:04,79 although they're not vision zero driven projects if that makes sense OK 880 01:24:05,33 --> 01:24:09,95 thank you member want to sleep quick quick comment or question so that we can take 881 01:24:09,96 --> 01:24:15,54 your vote and share some time so we can we can have more conversations but in the 882 01:24:15,55 --> 01:24:16,00 aisle to D.N.A. 883 01:24:16,01 --> 01:24:23,59 Match the areas that you highlighted. Dr El Molino and Lake. Are 884 01:24:23,63 --> 01:24:29,07 consistent with traffic deaths and severe injury. 885 01:24:30,39 --> 01:24:36,59 But as to to Stix go. Just every week or every month we get reports traffic 886 01:24:36,60 --> 01:24:43,34 collision involving pedestrians. Many of them occur along Woodbury Fair 887 01:24:43,35 --> 01:24:49,20 Oaks. You know Fair Oaks along Woodbury to Woodbury by far every time I see 888 01:24:49,21 --> 01:24:54,53 something that comes from our fire that breaks down the traffic collisions is 889 01:24:54,54 --> 01:25:00,76 Woodbury because of the speeds and then highest traffic collision is usually Fair 890 01:25:00,77 --> 01:25:05,08 Oaks and Woodbury and then collectively based on the C.H.P. 891 01:25:05,09 --> 01:25:07,87 Data Lake Avenue from out the in 892 01:25:07,88 --> 01:25:14,08 a drive to where Elliott School is that California is also has 893 01:25:14,12 --> 01:25:17,37 a lot collision so. So 894 01:25:17,38 --> 01:25:23,88 a vision zero is looking at said you know death and severe injury when it's doesn't 895 01:25:23,89 --> 01:25:30,14 seem to really address high traffic collisions which also include pedestrians and 896 01:25:30,15 --> 01:25:35,21 bicyclists and you're right by definition in the success of other. 897 01:25:36,72 --> 01:25:42,21 Jurisdictions around the country by definition vision zero is to address those 898 01:25:42,22 --> 01:25:43,54 collisions that result in 899 01:25:43,55 --> 01:25:49,28 a fatality or severe in. And that's not to say that we should turn 900 01:25:49,29 --> 01:25:54,93 a blind eye to you know every type of collision that occurs out there. 901 01:25:56,18 --> 01:26:03,18 Vision zero the concept behind it is that our built environment should 902 01:26:03,19 --> 01:26:08,60 be in such a manner that when a collision occurs because 903 01:26:08,61 --> 01:26:14,69 a root we're not going to avoid collisions this is not to. Avoid collisions but 904 01:26:14,70 --> 01:26:21,68 when exclusion occurs it should not be impactful enough to cause 905 01:26:21,69 --> 01:26:25,88 somebody to lose their life or cause somebody to be wheelchair bound for the rest 906 01:26:25,89 --> 01:26:32,76 of severe injury. So you're right this plan addresses the severe 907 01:26:32,77 --> 01:26:39,59 injury and fatalities first. But. As far as traffic safety is 908 01:26:39,60 --> 01:26:45,07 concerned. Those areas are you know still obviously 909 01:26:45,08 --> 01:26:51,21 a concern to you and perhaps to the rest of the community and for which we would. 910 01:26:53,14 --> 01:26:58,00 You know investigate what what could be done there it would fall underneath the 911 01:26:58,01 --> 01:27:03,94 vision zero Breland but that's not to say that something couldn't be done to 912 01:27:03,95 --> 01:27:10,85 address those issues OK Before we I think we need to take you for in dangerous time 913 01:27:10,89 --> 01:27:17,03 and then you can go more in-depth into that may not. And I'd like to I'd like to 914 01:27:17,04 --> 01:27:23,59 ask you council member walking if we take this motion because it's directed 915 01:27:23,64 --> 01:27:30,55 to the Safe Streets which you the chair. Is that something that you will be able 916 01:27:30,56 --> 01:27:37,53 to stay within the time ramps. Before we take the. OK and council member 917 01:27:38,14 --> 01:27:43,30 JONES Is that something that you might be hot if so that we can have something and 918 01:27:43,31 --> 01:27:47,75 so that I want to do this on the record OK now that is 919 01:27:47,76 --> 01:27:54,53 a motion. From council member wanting second that. I'm sorry council member 920 01:27:54,54 --> 01:28:01,22 Jones second dead by council member Robinson. To have the 921 01:28:01,23 --> 01:28:08,23 safe streets lead in and provide an additional information. As to 922 01:28:08,24 --> 01:28:15,18 what Denise office how to deal as to the good will respect to 923 01:28:15,24 --> 01:28:22,13 Vision zero OK we can work out the language later but in in 924 01:28:22,14 --> 01:28:27,30 a nutshell that's what you are asking for correct Yes OK So you've heard the motion 925 01:28:27,34 --> 01:28:33,57 and. All in favor. And I want to pose it. 926 01:28:35,05 --> 01:28:41,65 And when I abstain in. OK that it is that will be it and again 927 01:28:41,69 --> 01:28:47,35 we appreciate you time coming in. Here is there no other question from counsel. 928 01:28:48,75 --> 01:28:53,90 OK a comment Yeah very quickly this well so just this completes we had 929 01:28:53,91 --> 01:28:59,29 a really great town hall actually the last two years of safe streets and it has 930 01:28:59,30 --> 01:29:04,98 been consistent that walkability is the number one concern walking safely around Al 931 01:29:04,99 --> 01:29:11,75 to Dina speeding up there to number two and this time around because people got 932 01:29:11,76 --> 01:29:18,68 a little smarter in learning from safe streets traffic calming. Is number three 933 01:29:19,09 --> 01:29:25,99 for our priorities that's up thank you cancer member Robinson. Hi Mr Du 934 01:29:26,00 --> 01:29:32,84 Bill math thanks for coming out. I just wanted to ask quickly since you're 935 01:29:32,85 --> 01:29:36,57 aware of this communities interest in this topic generally in your part of our 936 01:29:36,58 --> 01:29:43,17 recent save for us to school study around Jackson Elementary So you know there's 937 01:29:43,18 --> 01:29:48,44 energy around that issue in particular how can all to Diena and other 938 01:29:48,48 --> 01:29:53,30 unincorporated communities that are super and gauged around traffic safety be 939 01:29:53,31 --> 01:29:57,79 a part of shaping some of the actions that directly relate to those interests like 940 01:29:57,91 --> 01:29:58,16 there's 941 01:29:58,17 --> 01:30:03,01 a couple safe routes related actions in here how do we raise our hands and make 942 01:30:03,02 --> 01:30:08,28 sure that we're in the loop as you guys do that work well I think the first step 943 01:30:08,29 --> 01:30:14,76 which you've already taken to be honest was implementing the.

Of P. 1045 01:39:26,71 --> 01:39:29,73 Right now out on the road out on the street asking for 1046 01:39:29,74 --> 01:39:35,28 a recruitment. Firm to help us with that process we want to make sure that we get 1047 01:39:35,83 --> 01:39:40,57 the absolutely best permanent director that out of the unit deserves so that is in 1048 01:39:40,58 --> 01:39:46,38 process right now the deadline for the piece is this Friday and we hope to have. 1049 01:39:47,67 --> 01:39:50,61 A recommendation to the board next Monday there's also 1050 01:39:50,62 --> 01:39:56,01 a strategic planning committee the strategic planning committee will be focused on 1051 01:39:56,33 --> 01:40:01,67 updating the strategic plan which is due to expire I think in July but we're going 1052 01:40:01,78 --> 01:40:02,09 we had 1053 01:40:02,10 --> 01:40:08,19 a little delay obviously So the goal there is to have it completed by September 1054 01:40:08,54 --> 01:40:09,14 there's already 1055 01:40:09,35 --> 01:40:16,20 a community committee that's formed by KATY CLARK And Jason Capella and they've had 1056 01:40:16,21 --> 01:40:21,85 their first meeting last week.

Present at least 1064 01:40:54,22 --> 01:40:58,23 a conceptual plan for primarily eighty eight because that is 1065 01:40:58,24 --> 01:41:03,90 a critical issue of both our sites but also updating the branch which in my mind 1066 01:41:03,91 --> 01:41:07,92 needs a lot of attention so there is a facilities report that was done about 1067 01:41:07,93 --> 01:41:13,39 a year ago and they'll use that as the basis for what they plan to do. But it will 1068 01:41:13,40 --> 01:41:18,05 also give us some phasing the facilities plan I think was about five million 1069 01:41:18,06 --> 01:41:22,28 dollars and needed and obviously we don't have five million dollars but the 1070 01:41:22,29 --> 01:41:28,29 architect will help us phase incrementally what what we should do moving forward 1071 01:41:28,65 --> 01:41:29,35 and finally 1072 01:41:30,19 --> 01:41:36,00 a little sad note we had an employee.
