Either of us are happy to answer any questions. We do not have any changes to our proposal. Colleagues, any questions council. It's not necessarily a question, but it's more of the statement and know that I've met with you all last year earlier this year. And I notice even in your presentation you out of Maine about you guys. Look at your data every 5 years. And I know when I met with your
teen, one of my concerns was putting bus more on the East side. This going the east. I know in one direction going towards while more towards Pendleton Pike. And I might mention it going towards Washington Square Council Harkin also counts the brow and so there's plenty infrastructure that's going on is and that a new subdivision is actually about to be built right there at 42nd and German Church road. I know you guys like I said, look at your data every 5 years. But the east side a steady growing. And so I think that data needs to be looked at. More less than 5 years. And especially with the quality of life planned this coming to the Far East Side, which can sleep graves. And I we're on a call and you should be getting a cop pretty soon. And so we need to be looking
at more bus stops. And I will be partnering with Councilor Brown to see what that looks like because I know part of my section my district goes over into Lawrence and I know I have a another concern of mine one of the things they told me was. Something about sidewalks and I'm having conversations about more sidewalks as well. So that is what I want to say. If we can look at the data. You know, less than 5 years because communities like District 15 is growing. And I know that my constituents is gonna need in already been reached out about having more bust stops coming on the Far East side and then it doesn't help that I go to one of the biggest churches that resides right there in my district. And so I get to hear the
stories away. My my fellow sus, you know. Fellows of, you know, cities and brothers. I get to hear those stories from my own pastor and his co executive pastor and from the Church of what the that means as well. Thank you. Council around. Was calm just yeah. Thank you for your calm. And I want to make sure that everybody understands we do a full review every 5 years. But that is not mean that we are not always looking at the data. So as new developments come in, absolutely, we will take another look at that make sure that we're providing right routes right places. Thank you for your comment. One more thing I want to have taken a note from my fellow here. He made it a point to make sure his libraries Get some work it. And so the next year's you guys come before the budget bus stops, I'm
probably gonna say the same things. So just be prepared day. Thank you. Thank you. Any other questions so Thank you, MR. As one council oz and back up on You know, been here. It 6 year on this committee. And I just want to add a little extra 100% right? Everything you said and I said that your predecessor all the time is that the there's also quality in those stops. There are too many stops still exist today that are just assign in a ditch. And that doesn't do anybody any good, especially in inclement weather. So when you're considering that stops, you know, certainly I was there be a lot of the best on the blue line. But in around all these other streets between Washington I think you
guys call it like 42nd at there's there's a lot of opportunity for him. Quality of stops. I couldn't agree with you more we spend. We set aside about a million dollars a year to make improvements to our bus stops and we've been able to leverage through our foundation largely some additional grants areas, persistent poverty through some in dpw. I think its I p Graham so that we can really multiply that. So I can remember the exact number. But it's tens of millions of dollars in the last several years. We are moving forward fast as we can to get stops improved. Our service committee meeting this month. We're going to go over in great detail. How are making progress on our ada, accessibility. So if any of
you are interested in tuning in, we'll have a full report. An assessment of the progress we made of last year's. But I agree with you. We continue to Thank I was actually just a New Orleans and there trolley and bus stops are. Really nice. And so to both points there, that would be good. Do you think as we roll into later this year, possibly early next year, we could get a report on our bus stops. How many of them? I know we have 3 or 4 classifications for them. I think. Where we're at how many of them are still just those polls in the middle of nowhere. Or no to thank you all. Take a motion. Can. All right. All those in favor of moving closer to 85 to do prefer to the full council to do pass recommendation, say Aye. Aye. It seems. I scene. All right. Thank you. Thank
you. Have a good rest today. Library board year on proposal to 85 adopt the operating and maintenance budgets and tax levies of the Indianapolis public.
