that. The 6th District will be visited in May and the 1St District in June. We will then look at a location within each of those districts. We will end with coffee and then have some feedback. We will have representatives from the Administration come with us. I said a little bit earlier, for some individuals,they may not have visited their whole district and this would be a great opportunity to do so. I think everyone wants to live in a clean and safe neighborhood. Councilmember Scott stated, A lot of stuff happened last ye like hurricanes and such. A lot of AEP people were pulled to focus on those situations and they did not do a portion of the 11t and 2nd Councilmanic Districts for Light-Up South Bend last year. They are going to do it this ye . We met with Maggie Betz, as she is the new liaison person for AEP. We also met with Public Works and Engineering. They are on schedule to start that and they will let us know when. They will double up to play catch up. We looked at the 3rd and 6th Councilmanic Districts as well. There was definitely more need in those areas and then we will move to the 4th and the 5th Councilmanic Districts after that. We will do some kick-off press announcements as well. As of today, they say we have a need for three hundred and fifty (350). These are usually in the residential areas. He went on,Engineering will take input as well. What they do is they go out and they will actually map the lumen radius of each light to see how far it goes.Before that,we didn't even have a policy. It was just whoever complained got a light and whoever didn't say anything didn't get a light. Now, City Engineering is going out and measuring this. They have a GIS map with all the lights on it and that might be available to the public. I know they had been talking about it. Committee Chair White then stated,We will also be talking about curbs and sidewalks.Those will be addressed on our walking tours. We will be working closely with Administration on that. Councilmember Scott stated, I've been driving the bus routes to see where the stops are and they did not do a good job. I have one (1)that moved to be right after a stoplight. There are even some right before roundabouts. Councilmember Oliver Davis stated, If you could put something together, that would be great. I am talking with people on TRANSPO and we will come make a presentation in April. Committeemember Jo M.Broden stated,I think there is a lot of energy in the neighborhoods about these placements of these bus stops. If there is a way to identify these locations and actually pinpoint it on a map, that would be beneficial. Councilmember Scott stated, I want to show examples and I was wanting to go to TRANSPO to be honest. Councilmember Broden is right because this is something we need to look at. Committeemember Broden stated, There needs to be a formal presentation and formal feedback. I would prefer to have that here because people know where to find us. They may not know where TRANSPO is. Committee Chair White stated, Council members should start looking in their districts too, prior to that meeting. 3
