afternoon , and he has talked 10 other staff members, clarifying just how much ,s £<XIII ao thisamtrnct.
He explained that this is the one where we traded the major renovation of the Broadwa:. S inccrsection.
for the other pn,jcct we had in the ISTEA list , which was 10 widen BroacJ,.-ay . He c:om::>CIIICd thal his
memory was 11.iat this also included some work on the Broadway bridge. which the -indicacs is true.
He noted you can't quite tell that from the project funding provisions . but he und<nlams we hav1: some
funhcr clarifo:ation on what is going 10 be done with the bridge , as "''Cll as the street..
Director Esterly e-:olaincd thal the original projccl. thal was 10 deal "'ith the mte rcmng,c. largely involved
the lengthening of the bridge. so the ope ning for 28S was increased from four lanes co su: la!lcs. And tha.t.

,naaJ things to happen on Broadway. We could put in landscape mediarts in lhc addi1ional space tluu is
aclled. We will also have dcdicaled left lum pockets for both nonh bound and south bowid traffic. He
m:mnwncd that lhe additional bencfil to thal will be that lhe wandering movemcni of 1he lanes ... as you gel

~f:il!,•or Bwns asked wh:11 impact it would have on lhc 3300 and 34Cl0 blocks or Soulh Broadway . He

wcd;cd out during the design process and that ""'1ld include lhosc businesses.
•
Th.:s amtrac:t., Mayor Bums said, is for design. not for constru ction . Director Esterly staled this contract is
re. dcsip-the way the budget iJ being scheduled in lhc ISTEA progmmming right now. ~,ere 'l·ou ld be •
a :-car hiaus in lhcn:. when wc WO<lldo 'I be tining ani1hing in 1999 and then wc are funded again in 2000
fmr Qlll5IJUCtlon. But , he adviiCd. a.s many of Council know. the Presidcn1 , jusl in U1e last couple or days.
h.zs si gned the new JSTEA legislation that co,·ers the time period we are in now. That puts more money
im1:, the program and we arc not quite sure what that impact uill be . Dircc 1or Este rly said, to directl y
aDSa1Cr lus question. this project right now is just for design.
Ccmncil Member Waggoner asked. even during lhe des ign process , ir lhere is lh c pabli c in\'Ol\'cmcnl tl•ll is
ooll'l!lal u;lh a highway proje ct. Director Esterly said yes, bui lhis is n liulc bil different than ltighway
pa:,ects we have done in the past. He explained llmt in the I~ couple or yea rs the cities in the metro area
waded out a deal \\ith llte Department of Transportation 10 allow local govcmments to mana ge their own
6:derally funded projects. This is the first one we arc involved witl1 and basically. he noted . when he says
we~ allowed to manage it. we arc going to manage it by hiring a c:onsulta.nt to do the \\Ork. Pan or tliat
pc,cea •1lllid include a signilicanl involvemenl by the public and by businesses in Ute area. Mr. ESlerly
adliscd lhal pan or lhc complicaled nalW'C or Ute project is probably why COOT backed out or wan ling 10
daip tills project lhcmsclvcs . He staled Otey pushed very hard to gel us to le, Utcm design Otis project and
l!!""1 Ibey 1''Cnl oo a toor of Ute site and Otey 1alkcd abou1 Uie problems, block by block and b'1.liness by
business. and lhcy ha\'e chosen nol to pursue designing 1his project.
Camel Member Waggoner said. his poi1\l being. that tl1 ey arc not going to be out in ll1c cold. they arc
gi:mg tD know whal is going on. because here is going to be some publi c process. Director Esterly advised
tile v.ilcJle purpose of wh ere we arc righl n ,w is to proceed and gel n project where !Ju:rc is a co nsensus
bu.ili around jt. tliat has tJ1e endorsement 01 the City and the endorsement or the folks "ho arc out tl1erc.
T1he fimJ approvaJ comes throJg.h when ,,.,e agree to build tl1e project and \lie come up "ith our m,11ch thc.n .

compliance with the Junc 9, 1998 Wic1-llar. Mayor Bums Slid he unde.-lds this invol\'cs th e
Honon propeny . City Attorney Bnn--11h11 was com:ct. He advin lhll whal happened. in this
ca.!C, is that the Honon property went i.alo -.,., and an independent buyer came in and purchased the
property. They really dida't do all of their~ he said. and the City's demolition lien and the
Housing Alllhontys mollgage ore both ia pllOllil)· to thiJ; penon doing the projccl. He e.<plaiDed that what
tl1cy fowld is I.bat they canllOI compleie die ...,a. which is I wplex. with tllC City's lien in pince. When
this was in the process offorcclosun:. be.au:L6e City anticipated taking this property. 1!icn l! would
simply remove its own lien and we would '-'t 01'""1 the property at that j.<>iot and tlicn put a Projeet
Bwld house tl1ere . Mr. Brotzman staled that !!be q,ution is. do they want to waive tl1c lien for this
independent pony that is goin, co put a dupla lberc. He noted this previously came Ill Co uncil in a fonn
tlmt proposed anytl1ing from, single family 6'dling up to a four-pie,. Council's response at that time was
they weren't going to r<SJ)'lml to the geacral cmnmen ts. that they wanted a more specific plan. Also, he
noted. Council V.'IS opposed LO a four-pk,< illl 6is loc::ltion. thus they now have a proposal to waive the lien
if the)• put this proposed dt;ple.x in pl-.
Council Member Clapp said she wanled so ask--..aayor Bums a qucsu on as. she opined. he was the most
qualified 10 answer it. having been on the Haasing Authority for 25 years. She said ii was her
understandin g that once we scrape a prupcrcy.:. ad pul a Project Build hom e on it. our chances or
recovering some.: of tJ1c m.itial cost fo r I.he SDg,c arc greater th.w if we just handed it over to somebod v else
to deve lop it. She asked if that is right. In m!bcr words. she said. 1f we put a Project Build home on tJtis "'C
coul d recou p some of our initiaJ COSI from~ scrape . She asked 1f th.at is correct. Mayor Bums sta ted that
is what we normall y do with Project Build. lie pointed out th.11 we alrc.idy have a rehab loan on this
propcny. He advised that Debbie Mcdloc:11.. Oiair or the Ho usini Autl1 ority. \\~S pre.<enl Ma) or Bums
noted that one of tl1c concerns. tlmt he tbougiia the Hou sing Authority lmd and he ccnainl y had. was tliat
tl1r.y get paid back on that loan . Bccwsc. llcsaid. :is they ma y reca ll they got some rather sc,cre critici sm
from some State politicians on tltis projccl. iia,,.;,,g that we would never get paid back on tltis loan and it
was all a waste . He s:lid he thinks we an be paid back . 111c otl1cr co ncern he has had. and the Ci ty has
h.id . is that the structure they actually "-antc&!l llD put on I.lie site vinua lly had no setback and just the design
or it was a concem BuL he said. he thoug!::: :the question she "as aslcing was if we put a ProJect Build

we don't know of any applOYal, for the 4 ~illion aciru1ion.,J dollars. A lot of Ilia, mo..,cy was geared toward

City Mlnlger Sean adviocd that he had one lut item on Uic project itself, He said he lrnows Pete ,.
Callhorpe bu a groat n:putadon and he n:ally dld odd lo the project. bu t he wasn't sun,, bccawe , tis so
involved with so many other projc:cU uound the U. S., wnether or not he was Iha! .. cited abou, lni, or not.
Mr. Sean commented that he WCN1ld aay that by the end of !he day Mr. Callhorpe was very excl• .:d about
what,,..,., doing here. Wlicn he uted him why, Mr. Callhorpe said It is because many or these l)'pes or
pl'ojocu arc geared toward elite typc1 or communities with transit and kind or very high end types of
communities and lhls is one of the few , if only , mailUIRanl type or community, transit oriented
developments in the nation. And he aays that he lhlnks lhls can be a rul model for other communities who
arcn~ jUSI at the very high end, to ~ly embrace some mixed use type of development. So , Mr. Sears said.
he is \'Cl)' oriented to lhls and it docs go back 10 the daycare. Because. he commented, he knows he wants
10 try 10 promote , not just the elite people getting on the light rail , but ii is really the working class people,
the middle =am people, who feel like they can partic ipate with this too. Thal is why they have some
component about daycare in lht'.rc . He opined we arc trying to work with' ·~ but it is kind of both an RID
and a focus to make it community wide . He '3id he thought thnl was an inh. -csting comment to pass on.
