And out. Much much more on this in coming years, I promise. My immediate thought after the presentation is that although our accessibility implementation plan was called out I want more clarity on the role and priority of accessibility here. A major lesson of our failed efforts to improve safety downtown is that accessibility is a major barrier to project success if it is not prioritized from the start. #accessibility #ADA

Councilor Snook after fixing some audio problems asks how the Planning Commission can contribute to this as required by state law. Deputy City Manager Freas confirms the Planning Commission will be involved and this will be incorporated into the Comprehensive Plan in accordance with state law. (Thank you!)

Councilor Payne notes that there are state and federal code barriers that make it hard for us to address urban transportation needs. True! I have this on my workplan for this legislative year. Mr. Chambers confirms this will be considered as part of this plan. #VALeg

Councilor Payne noting that the most dangerous places like 5th Street are also the most difficult to fix. Mr. Chambers confirms this is true. This has been noted in plan after plan for many years. https://www.29news.com/2022/04/20/new-memorial-unveiled-5th-st-charlottesville/

SIXTEEN! Yes! The last one is "Performance metrics and monitoring guidance". This one has been much on my mind in the last few months. Councilor Fleisher is even more passionate than me on this topic. There needs to be some way for the public to know what is happening, when it is happening, what is done, what is on hold or canceled, who to direct questions to. #transparency

Nine is "Policy updates needed for regional plans associated with regional growth patterns" Believe it or not there are other localities surrounding Charlottesville but they are much more automobile dependent and they work and shop and eat and socialize and go to school here. We have to work with them for this to work at all. We have a long way to go here. #regionalism #TJPDC https://infocville.com/2026/05/08/in-a-divided-vote-mpo-policy-board-moves-forward-with-two-smart-scale-projects-without-city-support/

I'm up and fully caffeinated. I think we have eight more deliverables to get through. Seems like a lot! Starting an hour and five minutes in #cville https://www.youtube.com/live/S-aH2eZU71s?si=NeUS7NpqQ638fX0f&t=3952

Eight is "Guidance for emerging and reported needs and solutions and changes to the traffic calming request process" We do have problem report and ticketing system thanks I believe to former city communications head Brian Wheeler which is so much better than our previous "nothing" system, but yes huge opportunities for improvement here. https://www.charlottesville.gov/666/Service-Request

City staff and Councilor Oschrin attended the National Association of City Transportation Officials this year. I find them an essential resource here in congested, car-dependent North America. I remember when I was the only one here talking about NACTO best practice and now I am learning about the newest and best methods from city staff. We have come a long way in just a few years here. #NACTO https://nacto.org/our-work/

Mistakes were made. Hopefully a net improvement.

The fence has been heavily tunneled under over the years, I’m thinking chicken wire
