That doesn't make sense <br />to review final data results and make a decision based on that when it doesn't include the <br />entire pilot period. What would be the point of breaking that apart except for showing a <br />month to month trend analysis to see how the data changed throughout the pilot as time <br />passed by, which was not done by the Kimley and Horn? You are saying that you can look at <br />the trend of the two reports, but did the city actually do that? Why wouldn't Kimley Horn <br />actually prepare that comparison then? This does not make any sense. <br />As far as the collision data, yes, you can wait 3 to 5 years after the change and compare to the <br />previous 3-5 years prior to pilot, but you could have also just compared the previous year to <br />the pilot year and compared that data, but they did not do that either. <br />In addition, a question mark was used in the final report - what legitimate data warehouse <br />manager submits a final report with a question mark to a city client? It's absurd. Why would <br />they leave out the biggest factor of all - that the population has increased from pre-pilot <br />through the pilot and continues to increase because the City approved all the new <br />developments of commercial and residential buildings in downtown? How does 7 more <br />people biking or 20 more people walking justify this pilot when we have over 77K in <br />population before the development and it has grown?? <br />Does anything about this report honestly, really, make sense to you? I know you are well <br />educated and have had great experience in city urban planning and transportation. This can't <br />possibly make sense to you. Though my specialty is in healthcare policy, management, finance <br />and administration, I have a masters in public administration from NYU Wagner and worked <br />with many urban planning professors and students as well. This data and how it is being used <br />to make management decisions for a city that is in the middle of growth, is grossly negligent. <br />From a research, statistical, and frankly, logical standpoint, the data analysis is severely lacking <br />8.A. - Page 67
