SO THE PUBLIC WORKS HAS COME UP WITH A PILOT PROGRAM FOR RUMBLE STRIPS. SO WE'RE GOING TO APPROPRIATE $9,000 FOR THE PILOT ON 40TH STREET FOR RUMBLE STRIPS. JUST CURIOUS, ARE THEY?

SO I WAS JUST WONDERING, AND OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, THAT WOULD BE LIKE THREE SPEED HUMPS AND SIGNAGE, RIGHT? HOW DOES THIS COMPARE IN COST? SO LIKE THE $9,000 IS IT TO ME IS STILL A CRAZY AMOUNT. AND SO LIKE HOW MUCH OF A DISTANCE DOES THIS COVER THIS. AND I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE DISTANCE WILL BE BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN IT LAID OUT. I KNOW FROM A COST PERSPECTIVE WE WERE COMPARING. I THINK IT MIGHT MAY BE ABOUT A THIRD LESS THAN WHAT WE WOULD HAVE PAID IF WE HAD DONE SPEED HUMPS INSTEAD. THANK YOU. BUT IT'D BE ABOUT TWO SPEED HUMPS. EXACTLY. AND YOU HAVE TO DO A MINIMUM OF TWO. AND OUR PROBLEM, AND I'M SURE EVERYBODY ELSE HAS THIS PROBLEM, IF WE PUT THEM ON 41ST STREET, THEN 40TH, THEY, YOU KNOW, PEOPLE START TO GO TO 40TH AND 43RD OR, YOU KNOW, SO THEN WE WIND UP HAVING TO PUT THEM ON THE, THE, THE STREETS NEXT TO THEM.

MY I JUST WANTED ONE MORE QUESTION. YOU SAID THAT THEY COULDN'T USE THE BELVEDERE. COULD YOU EXPLAIN WHY THAT IS? IT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION. I BELIEVE THEY'RE GETTING READY TO DO WHATEVER CHANGES IT IS TO THE BELVEDERE. RIGHT. THEY HAD TO CHANGE VENUES TWICE. ACTUALLY, IT'D BE NEWS TO ME. BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT'S NOT ACCURATE. I'M WONDERING IF CONSTRUCTION IS ALREADY UNDERWAY. HOW DOES THAT IMPACT A MYRIAD OF OTHER EVENTS, SPECIFICALLY WORLD FEST THAT'S HELD ON LABOR DAY WEEKEND? SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY INFORMATION ON WHAT'S GOING ON AT THE BELVEDERE AND WHY NONPROFITS ARE RESTRICTED FROM USING IT AT THIS CURRENT TIME, I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHY. AND I DID NOT ASK THAT QUESTION BECAUSE I DIDN'T THINK ABOUT IT, TO BE HONEST. I KNOW THAT THEY HAD TO CHANGE VENUES TWICE BECAUSE THIS IS AN EVEN THOUGH THIS IS OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, THERE ARE SAFETY REASONS AT THIS POINT IN TIME. AND SO THEY CHANGED VENUES TO A MORE CONTROLLABLE SPACE. I DO KNOW THAT, BUT NOT ABOUT THE BELVEDERE IN PARTICULAR. ALL RIGHT. YES, COUNCILMAN, I KNOW THAT THERE IS CONSTRUCTION IN FRONT OF THE KENTUCKY CENTER RIGHT NOW, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT GOES AROUND TO THE BACK OR NOT, BUT I'M NOT AWARE OF ANY ANY CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY ON THE BELVEDERE ITSELF.

IT SEEMS LIKE SOMETHING THAT A PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT WOULD HAVE. SO WHY IS ABC RENTING THEM? FROM WHAT I'M GUESSING IS A FOR PROFIT THIRD PARTY. THESE ARE PARTICULAR KINDS OF BARRICADES THAT WE AS A CITY DO NOT HAVE. THESE ARE USED TO CREATE QUEUING SECTIONS FOR PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO WALK DOWN THE STREET IN SEPARATE DIRECTIONS, BECAUSE THAT WAS ONE OF OUR BIGGEST PROBLEMS. SO THEY ARE METAL.
