Subject: BP W Approval of Site work and New Shelter Installation at West Village
Hi Kathy and Krin,
We'd like to request that the approval of site work a new shelter outside of the West Village apartment complex to be
added the agenda for the September BP W Meeting. Please see the attached documents, which indicate a new larger
shelter(12'x6'), located across the street from the existing one. I've included this request as a single page pdf,which
we're hoping can be added as an additional exhibit to our existing shelter agreement that was signed by the Mayor in
May(also attached with this page inserted). Please advise if we'll need additional signatures or if we need to approach
this differently.
Please also confirm if this will make the agenda, and feel free to reach out to me with any questions, or if additional
information is needed.
Best,
-Megan

Bike Walk Tompkins(BWT)and the Ithaca-Tompkins County Transportation Council (ITCTC)commissioned a survey from
Yasannin Miller Group(YMG)to investigate current bicycling use, interest in bicycling more, and attitudes towards bicycling
from people who lived within a five-mile radius of downtown Ithaca, NY. BWT, ITCTC, and City of Ithaca staff contributed to
the writing of the survey questions, and YIVIG collected responses from a representative sample of 382 residents in February
2018, primarily through a randomized phone survey.This executive summary highlights several key findings.The full report
from YIVIG and an index of all survey questions can be accessed online at bikewalktompkins.org/2018survey.

A more complete picture of bicycling in and around Ithaca
emerges when respondents were asked about their bicycling Work

during warmer months (see Figure 2).Among residents, 53%

While there may be multiple reasons for this, such as fewer
students being present in Ithaca during the warm season,the
survey found that almost 9 in 10 students did not have regular access to a working bicycle, which limits the number of stu-
dents who could bike.This survey was conducted before a widely-available bikeshare system started in Ithaca.

2018 LIME TRIP DATA ANALYSIS
AY 1, 2019
Prepared by
Hector Chang

Ume provides trip data exports for all bicycle rides In Ithaca to the City of Ithaca and Bike Walk Tompkins.The
data export records the following information for each trip:a unique trip ID number,start coordinates(latitude
and longitude),start date and time,end coordinates,end date and time,and an estimation of distance
traveled.Trip data is devoid of Info Identffying the user of the bike and the specific bike that was used.
To confirm the integrity of the data,we trips made by Lime users as recorded on the
consumer appto the trip data provided by the company. Lime collects GPS and timest mpdotmhnmtwo
sources:the GPS module integrated into the lock as well as the user's smartphone.By cross-referencing trips,
wc were a0detu determine that starVandmpond|notes and time are highly accurate because they are sourced
from the bike'a lock.Distance travelled data is not am accurate because it is sourced from users'smartphones.
Therefore,this analysis only uses coordinate data and time data corrected to match Eastern Time.
Lime separates data exports by vehicle type,so we can determine whether a trip was made on a pedal bike or
e-bike. Using time data,we calculated the duration of each trip and whether the trip was made before
("summer")or after("fall")Lime's expansion into Collegetown and East Hill on August 17,2018. Furthermore,
using coordinate data,we calculated the trip distance as the crow flies,the start and end altitude above sea
level,and the intersecting census block.This allowed us to determine whether someone rode uphill or downhill
and what point of interest,neighborhood,municipality,and county they started and ended their trip.
Figure I- HieranohynfData Provided bK Lime(left two columns)and Data Computed for This Analysis(right)
The data was then imported into Tableau for analysis. In 2018,there were 89,245 individual trip records for
Lime's vehicles across the Southern Tier. For this analysis,we filtered for rides that started or ended within
Tompkins County,which brought the number of records down toO5,784. Lastly,wm also filtered out rides that
were likely to be short"test rides,"defined as all rides that have start and end locations less than 0.05 miles
apart(i.e.the length of an average Ithaca city block)with a trip duration of less than 10 minutes.This leaves us
with 77°606trips to analyze,which|sBike Walk Tompkins'best meWmote for the bona fide number ofrides

Bicycling is affected e seasons,and Urne ridership followed the seasons of Ithacaclosely.After its
launch at the end of April 2018, Lime had consistent ridership of around 11,250 rides per month throughout
the summer from May until August.With the return of students to Ithaca,Lime°s expansion into Collegetown,
and the introduction of its Lime-E electric bikes, Lime°s ridership reached nearly 13,500 in September.The
return of cold weather and subsequent fleet reduction,however,brought ridership down to 2,850 in
December.
Higher ridership figures in the start of the system were likely influenced by free trial periods, low rates for pedal
bikes,wide availability of coupons, ideal weather for bicycling,and the appeal of a new mode of transportation.
Lower ridership figures in the latter half of the year were likely influenced by less ideal weather, higher rates for
e-bikes compared to pedal bikes,fewer discounts available,and fewer bicycles available as more of the fleet
was put into storage.

DAY OF WEEK RIDERSHIP
During its more stable summer months,the Lime system in Tompkins u averaged between 35 rid
es
per day,with a slight increase in rides on weekend days compared to weekdays (see Figure 3). During the fall
semester,the most popular days to ride are also on the weekends,with a noticeable increase on Sunday.The
lower totals for the days of the week during the fall semester can be accounted by the lower ridership from
October through December.

TIME OF DAY RIDERSHIP
Because one can take Lime trips one-way,the weekday peak hour for tlha Lime system in Tompkins County is 5
PM with no corresponding AM peak.On weekends,activity peaks at 1 PM and steadily decreases after that.
Activity after midnight is minimal but still existent,even at 4 AM.Activity picks up again at 8 AM.

TRIP DURATION
Looking at trip duration data on Figures 6 and 6,there is a very clear right-skewed curve with a peak(or mode)
at the 6-minute mark.The median trip duration is 10 minutes and the average trip duration is 26 minutes.The
reason for this discrepancy in averages,and the right-skewness of the charts, is the higher number of long
bicycle rides during the summer as well as riders who forgot to lock their bikes after ending their trip.Table 1
demonstrates this tendency for longer bike rides in the summer. It also shows that rides on the electric bikes
take less time than those on a pedal bike.

ELEVATION CHANGE
Most Ume riders did not use the bikes to go up or down fthaca's steep hills;more than 60%of rides went up or
down less than 20 feet in elevation (see Figure 8).Even when filtering forjust the rides that occurred in the fall
semester after Lime expanded into Collegetown, uphill rides that climbed 150 feet or more made up less than
5%of all rides combined(see Figure 9). For reference,the elevation change from downtown to Stewart Avenue
is 170 feet,followed by 260 feet to Eddy St,and 325 feet to College and Dryden (see Table 2).

After the expansion of Lime Into Collegetown,downhill rides became more frequent Nearly 10%of all rides
during the fall semester went down elevations of 150 feet or more(see Figure 8).This preference for downhill
riding over uphill is not surprising,particularly when there's no need to bring the bikeshare bicycle back uphill.

The introduction of Lime-E pedal-assist electric bikes in late September was seen as a way to address the
difficulty of bicycling up the steep hills of Ithaca.Preliminary data shows that the discrepancy between downhill
and uphill riding reduced n looking e ridership of Ume-E bikesthemselves(see Figure ). In
fact,among Lime-E rides that changed 50-100 feet in elevation,there were more that went uphill than
downhill. Nevertheless,there were more rides going downhill than uphill overall. Bike Walk Tompkins will
continue to monitor-Lime-E rides to see if these findings hold up as more people use the bikes in 2019.

Trumansburg and Dryden.Since the bicycles can be ridden past municipal boundaries,some riders have used
them to go to neighboring municipalities that are not served by Lime such as the Village of Cayuga Heights and
the Town and Village of Lansing,The only local municipality that was not been visited by a Lime vehicle in 2018
is the Village of Freeville.

As evidenced by Figure 11,within the flats of Ithaca nearly all streets have been visited at least once by a
Limeike or Lune-E since the system's launch.Using GIS software,we can create heatmaps based on the trip
start and end locations(see Figures 12 and 13).These maps show downtown Ithaca as a very strong hub of
activity, but also highly active are the West State Street corridor,Greenstar,Wegmans,Collegetown,the Ithaca
Farmers Market,and TCAT bus stops with frequent service,among other areas.

To understand the use of Lime within the City of Ithaca and surrounding urban and suburban neighborhoods,
we separated the Urbanized Area of Ithaca into 13 distinct neighborhoods to be able to count the number of
rides starting and ending in each neighborhood (see Figure 13).While some neighborhoods are consistent with
the general community consensus of their boundaries(ex. Fall Creek,Southside),other neighborhoods used in
this analysis are an amalgamation of different neighborhoods and even municipalities.This is because the
number of Lime rides would be too low to be noticeable if these amalgamated areas were subdivided into the
actual neighborhoods.

Table 4 ranks the neighborhoods by number of trips started within them.Of note is the difference between
trips taken before the fall semester started compared to while the semester was ongoing.While Downtown,
Fall Creek,and Northside remain at the top,activity In and aroundCollegetown and Cornell Increased tenfold
as Lime expanded Into these areasand studentsreturned for classes.

Looking at trip end locations on Table 5,we see a similar pattern where trips in Collegetown and the Cornell
Campus expanded tenfold as Lime began placing bikes on East Hill in the fall.An analysis of end locations is
important because it shows the places people want to go by bike, rather than where they started.Table 6

| GENERAL SYSTEM FLOW
UMM
By comparing total trip starts and ends in each neighborhood on Table 7,we can understand the general flows
of Lime riders in Ithaca in the summer. From this comparison,we find that trips that originate In neighborhoods
on top of a hill(i.e Collegetown, Maplewood& East Hill)generally do not return.Similarly,there is an outward
flow of rides from the downtown Core to outlying neighborhoods(i.e. Northside,Southside,South Meadow).
This may be caused by the fact that Lime places more bikes in the downtown core,and some people may
choose a different mode of transportation for their return trip.

As Lime expanded into East Hill neighborhoods in the fall,the strong downhill flow from Collegetown and
Maplewood strengthened further,These downhill rides ended in downtown,replacing the outward flow from
that neighborhood that was seen in the summer.Outlying neighborhoods in the Flats, however, are still net
receivers of rides,These patterns become more apparent in the next subsection.

Using the start and end locations,we can determine the number of rides between neighborhood origin_
destination(0-D)pairs.As an example,we can determine how many rides started in West Hill and ended in
Collegetown.With 13 distinct neighborhoods defined in our spatial analysis,that means that rides could be
counted amongst a possible 169(13 x 13)neighborhood origin-destination pairs.Tables 9 and 10 show the
top 10 neighborhood O-D pairs in the summer and fall respectively.

6y comparing the two tables above,we can see that the top 4 rides in eftherseason happen within
between Downtown and Fall Creek,which made up more than 1 in 4 Lime rides in the summer and almost 1 in
5 Lime rides in the fall.The biggestchange the drop of rides in the Waterfront
neighborhood,composed of the Ithaca Farmers' Market and Stewart Park.While this 0_D pair had the fifth
highest ridership in the summer, it was ranked 17th in the fall and therefore not on Table 10.Another big
change is rides within Collegetown became the 6th mostfrequent O-D pair in the fall,after Lime expanded
to that neighborhood. In fact,while the top 10 0-D pairs made up nearly half of all rides within the Ithaca
Urbanized Area in the summer,the top 10 O-D pairs in the fall only made up 36%of all rides in that season
because of the increasing usage of Lime starting and ending in neighborhoods on East Hill.The chord

NEIGHBORHOOD-TO-NEIGHBORHOOD SPATIAL FLOW
Because Lime only provides location data for the start and end of each trip and not the points in between,we
cannot build an accurate street-by-street ridership model. However, using the neighborhood origin-destination
pair data and some logical assumptions,we can build a schematic diagram of the flow of Lime rides between
neighborhoods that accounts for the trips that were made between two neighboring neighborhoods but also
the trips that traversed through those two neighborhoods to go someplace else.
To build the schematic diagram,three assumptions were made.The first is that the 13 distinct neighborhoods
that were defined for this analysis are to be connected in a geographically relevant way as described on Figure
16.What this means is that,for example,all trips originating from West Hill and going somewhere else will use
the link between West Hill and West End(and traverse through the West End)to get to their destination
neighborhood.

® &South Hill

The second assumption is that all rides will take the path with the fewest links between their originating
neighborhood and destination neighborhood. For example,this analysis assumes that all rides that go from
Cornell Campus to Waterfront will connect through Fall Creek instead of a longer route.Therefore,a limitation
of this analysis is that it cannot account for rides that may have taken a more circuitous path.The limited
geographic data provided by Lime prevents us from accounting for longer routes.
Page 17
The third assumption is that,in cases where a neighborhood O-D pair has several paths with the same number
of links,we chose the path that followed the most"logical"geographic orientation.For example,for trips
between Collegetown to Waterfront,there are three possible paths of equal length between the two
neighborhoods. In the analysis,we assumed that all trips between those two neighborhoods took the path
through Downtown and Northside instead of the other two other path choices.The thinking behind this
decision is that there is an uphill climb between Collegetown and Cornell,and Northside is closer than Fall
Creek to the Ithaca Farmers Market,a popular destination in the Waterfront neighborhood. Due to this
assumption,an additional inherent limitation of this analysis is that of trust in the data analyst's judgement.
Spreadsheets used for the analysis are available upon request.
With those assumptions in place,we assigned each of the 169 possible neighborhood origin-destination pairs
a specific Opath"of connecting neighborhood links and counted the occurrences of each link.Tables 11 and
12 show the top 10 neighborhood links in the summer and fall,respectively, based on this analysis.As
expected,the Fall Creek-Downtown link is at the top for both seasons. In second and third place, however, is
the Downtown-Southside and Southside-South Meadow links.The spatial analysis reveals the influence of
trips between South Meadow and neighborhoods north and east of Downtown on the Downtown-Southsid e
link.This deeper analysis demonstrates the shortcoming of relying solelyon neighborhood origin-destination
pairs,which only accounts for where people started and ended their Lime rides but not the links and
Intermeclate neighborhoods where they most likely went through on said rides.

By combining the numerical results of the analysis with the diagram on Figure 16,we can create a graphical
representation of the flow of Lime rides amongst the 13 neighborhoods In the urbanized area of Ithace. In
Figures 17 and 18,the thickness of the lines between neighborhoods is representative of the estimated
number of trips for each neighborhood link,and the thickness of the oval around each neighborhood is
representative of the number of trips that happened solely within that neighborhood.We also added a ratio on
each link,which shows how directional the flow of bikes is on each link.

By comparing the two diagrams,we can see that the Fall Creek-Downtown-Southside-Soulth Meadow axis
carries a significant proportion of Lime rides In both the summer and fail.Other strong links across both
seasons include the Downtown-West End and the Downtown-Northside links,the latter aided by a seasonally
strong link between Northside and Waterfront most likely caused by the popular Ithaca Farmers Market.
Secondary links that show consistency between summer and fall include the Fall Creek-Northside-West End-
Southside axis,the connection to West Hill,and the connection to South Hill.
As previously stated, links within neighborhoods on East Hill and between these neighborhoods and the flats of
Ithaca were affected by the lack of bikes on the hill during the summer.Once bicycles were placed on East Hill
neighborhoods in the fall,a clear pattern emerges where many of the trips that start on the hill end up in the
flats. For example,five bikes go down from Collegetown to Downtown for every one that goes up. However,we
also see trips along an emerging Collegetown-Cornell-North Campus axis,which has shallower gradients
particularly well-suited to the Lime-E pedal-assist electric bikes.

ART, SOCIAL SCIENCE AND SOCIAL VISION
In the perceptual rendering of human experience and thought,art both reflects
social existence, and asserts the possibility for transforming social existence.A 's capacity
for transformative perception holds potential for enriching social science,given society's
inability to resolve its twin existential dilemmas,'namely growing economic inequality and
escalating climate change,Any practical solution to either of these dilemmas depends upon
social transformation,This,in turn,depends uponpeople's capacity to envision
transformation and its rationale, as well as the final result.Positive social transformation is
possible to the extent that leaders,along with a significant number of people,hold fast to a
clear vision of what needs to change and how a new society can come about.
Social transformation is presently underway due to innovations in science and
technology,giving humanity the opportunity to consciously shape its own future.This
proposition is evident when examining rates of change over the past 50 years (Ford 2014;
Green 2019;`Kaku 1998), Since their invention in the 1960s,microprocessors have grown
in processing power exponentially,as has scientific knowledge, This suggests that future
economic,social and political structures will be organized around qualitatively different
logic,and that the character of this difference will be determined by what people do,
Our proposed multidisciplinary collaboration is between an artist and a social
scientist, It deploys a sculpture to inspire and organize thinking on the present state of the
world (economically and ecologically),and to imagine future possibilities about what can
and should be, The proposed sculpture "Anthro ocene ill be placed on Cornell campus
and is a large hollow circle, 12' ig ,comprised of industrial relics,trashed car parts,
crushed and welded to an interior frame, The colors of the parts illustrate climate
temperature zone; chrome bumpers at the top and bottom represent the Arctic/Antarctic,
the adjacent level made from green and yellow parts corresponding bodies of water and
plant life,and the equator region is red and orange corresponding to the warmer equatorial
region. Solar lights are affixed within the crushed parts,illuminating the structure at night,
mimicking earth's solar halo on its dark side and symbolizing`sustaina ilityn'
The round form illustrates unity and our shared space on earth; cause and effect.
e meaning is: what goes around comes around.Industrial fossil fuels are the largest
source of greenhouse gasses,and automobiles symbolize the destructive use of industrial
era technology for private profit,At earlier stages of development,the auto industry
provided mass industrial employment. Cars were a symbol of social status and seeming
efficiency. Humanity now has the technological capacity to build electric cars,and more
broadly,to establish new sets of relationships that address the public purpose for planetary
balance benefitting from the ever-evolving tools of science,
Description civi / r ject
The sculpture is designed by artist Monica Franciscus (2019) and built in
collaboration with a team of welders and contractors,Taitem Engineering(201 ) has
provided stamped structural drawings
Viewers may interact directly with the Anthropocene sculpture by walking through
it; it is slightly sunk into the ground,There will be a plaque nearby with a website address
where the public can partake in a questionnaire,and offer commentary,The website will
feature the project rationale, and a blog.
Several separate audiences will engage with the sculpture. First, Cornell scientists,
among the architects of the ongoing scientific revolution,will be interviewed for their take
on the present global economic and ecological crises and possible solutions. Second,the
sculpture will engage local residents whose feedback is particularly interesting given that
Ithaca is within the"rust belt region"which has been dein ustrialiing since the 1970s,-The
proposal is integrated with a large undergraduate class ( Soc 101;taught y the principal
investigator) to experiment with the sculpture as a component of the curriculum. The
students will conduct interviews (a Human Subjects IRB application is currently under
review). The artist will approach elementary,middle and high schools to conduct
workshops about t e sculpture,to discuss art and society and how materials in the
sculpture convey social concepts.
Visitors will be encouraged to leave comments on the we site,and a set of self-
selected DSoc 1101 students will analyze these comments and the questionnaire,and
respond a set of four structured questions,and the responses posted to a research blog.
These students will have substituted their final examination for work on the sculpture
research, namely interviewing scientists,analyzing the survey data and posting findings to
a class sponsored research blog.
The artist will respond to the stu ents'posts,and the principal investigator will
utilize these interactions to facilitate a two-way dialogue between social science concepts
and art. The boundaries of each discipline will be explored,and forms of fruitful interaction
identified,
This project aims to:
1) Illustrate and conceptualize the frontier between art and social science,and possibilities
for stimulating and inspiring awareness and efforts toward social transformation; 2)
determine the extent that citizens'and scientists'conceptualization fit real possibilities for
sustainable and equitable development under the options presented by current
technological means and scientific trends; 3) estimate how scientists and citizens define
and understand the conceptual interrelationships between su t in bility,inequality,
science and technology,and the extent that the sculpture assists in furthering this
understanding.

The towering sculpture stands a full 20 feet tall. The piece is designed with an armature or skeleton of
steel tubing that will be bolted together on site, in keeping with the conceptual thread of my portfolio
the outer layer would be made mostly of recycled steel tubing with sizes ranging from 1, 2 and 4-inch
square and welded together. This material was chosen for its durability in the natural elements. This will
provide a maintenance free public sculpture long into the future. Each piece of the outer layer would
have a patina that would create a spectrum of natural colors to blend with fall colors of the region. The
entire piece will be sprayed in a clear finish to ensure a lasting protective coat.

In July, I received an extremely high water and sewage bill for the house I own at 110 Highland
Avenue, Crystal at the City Chamberlain's office told me I should contact you about appealing
the bill. I have included a copy of that bill for your reference.
The property was at the time being rented to undergraduate tenants who attend Cornell.
Investigation by my property manager at the time, Tracy Martineau, revealed that there was a
running toilet that my tenants had just let continue to run without informing me or Tracy.
Neither I nor Tracy ever received a notice from the city alerting us of higher than expected
water usage, which I have been informed is standard procedure. Because we never received
this notice, we were unaware of the problem until receiving the July bill. Upon receiving the
bill, Tracy immediately investigated and discovered the problem, and the toilet has now been
fixed. I am appealing with the hope that you might grant me some relief from this extremely
high bill which totaled $2,887.05.
Crystal also informed me that the normal appeal process involves and hearing with the Board
that necessitates I appear in person. However, I currently live in California, so appearing in
person is highly impractical for me. If indeed I am granted a hearing, would it be possible to caF
into the hearing or have someone else represent me there?
One other complicating factor is that I have just sold the house. The sale is expected to close by
September 30th and this water bill needs to be settled before closing. Would it be possible to in
any way expedite the appeal process, or could I pay the bill upfront and perhaps be reimbursed
by
oth the city if the appeal is granted after September 3
