So So So So So So Columns to order First item on the agenda is approval of the minutes Does anybody have any questions or comments or amendments? I have a motion to approve the minutes Second So The second item is to review application phases Review the revised phase one application score sheet, which you have in front of you Which comes just before we actually use this document So So glad you put them in that order We'll know what we're doing I'm gonna turn this over to Celeste to explain Why we had to change or why we had to update this to meet our current needs I Think we have struggled with this a little bit from time to time and this is really just a draft We wanted any additional input but Faith put this together based on our comments and based on some of the struggles that we were having and that some of the things Just needed to be reworded To be a little bit more clear. So this will be With the council with our Commission's approval. This will be our new score sheet Which we will still use I guess the old score sheet today and then we will enact the new one If everybody has a chance to look at it, if you've seen it before Go ahead and make your comments now if you need some time we will Discuss this afterwards. So the part that has actually been updated is is highlighted This part this part yeah, yeah Yeah, so that's the that's the new changes Yeah You don't have a red one at all. Okay. Okay. I got it. Yeah, so you're one that's does anybody have any questions about this? It definitely needed to be done sometimes when we you know when this whole plan was put together It's hard to know exactly how things are gonna change and what things even though how many people look at this document You just never know our experience. But anyway, thank you for doing that Well, I also feel like as we've been a commission we've encountered things that we didn't recognize that we were going to you know encounter so this has been a process of learning But also I want us all to think that the Commission is kind of a fluid thing that we can change things Anytime that we need to these documents are just documents that we can amend when we need to so and I appreciate everybody's agility and Flexibility in that regard. Yeah So anyone make when I make a motion to approve this amended document move to approve Second second it all in favor. Say aye So moved and the third item on the agenda The fourth item is the phase one application the Shropshire Avenue asphalt art project. So we have guests. Would you please approach? podium Hello again You can all hear me. Okay So, my name is Alice Hilton I'm a member of Living Streets Lexington, which is an organization in Lexington that works towards streets that are are really You know, like welcoming inviting and safe public spaces for everyone I'm also I'm joined by Halston who's an artist and member of Living Streets, Lexington and Hana with a principal planner with The Office of Strategic Outreach with outreach and strategic planning and Then David Filiatro who is an engineer with traffic engineering side and then Brandi Peacher With the complete streets managers is also here So if there are questions, which are too complicated for me, which seems highly likely then then we've got a team Yes So if you wouldn't mind scrolling Okay Okay So the reason one of the reasons that Living Streets Lexington is involved in this project is that one of our three focus areas? Is really anything that kind of opens up streets? In a way that makes them feel kind of more accessible more approachable and more welcoming to residents regardless of how they're getting around and I think especially kind of as a A common ground for neighbors and for residents to meet and build connections Streets are our largest kind of piece of public infrastructure in Lexington And so we're just looking for ways to really emphasize that they're public places that are for for everyone And we also part of why we're doing this is to try and go through this initial process and Make this, you know figure out how to kind of formalize this to make it as easy and accessible And really easy to navigate for any person or organization who might come after us in Terms of working with planning in terms of working with engineering and kind of when when applicable working with the Public Art Commission So we we really believe in the power of asphalt art is just a tool to invite lots of different people into sort of an artistic process and I think that the kind of the power of people coming together and painting the road together is really We're in it. I mean, we care a lot about the final product We care about you know, very beautiful art installed on the street But I would say that for me and for our organization We also care just as much if not more about the process and how that art is designed and especially how it's installed And that it be installed kind of together in a communal like community driven community centered way And So that that brings me to our map we have a map this time Apologies for not having one last time and so with with We incorporated Andrews feedback that there's already lots of really great space striped off on Lewis Street The that is kind of a canvas for painting And then we have a few areas on Shropshire that will be striped off and painted that will have also some some kind of Not minor the point is is the paint in the process and getting this project down But also these changes will have some traffic calming Effects as well. And so if anyone I'll stop here And if anyone has questions about this specifically then I think David's probably the the person to answer those Any questions, so would the paint go where the pink is on that map? That's right. Okay. Yeah, it won't all be pink Do you all have concepts for these yet for the like for the actual art We don't know we we're hoping we're gonna identify the artist and then work with the artists for concepts But I best practice for this kind of project is that the the the designs be pretty big and geometric and colorful So, okay, we know it'll at least it'll at least be that And and tell us again just for the sake of anyone that wasn't here last time You have Involvement in this it's a very much a collaborative project. Yeah, so we will be working with kind of all of the community centers Within a you know, we'll be working with Charles Young with William Walsh With Castlewood as much as possible with the neighborhood association and then this so Street Fest is sort of It is in May. It'll be May 16th, and we'll do that process again of Hopefully at that point the new lines will be installed on Shropshire And so we'll again do that process of bringing out, you know Temporary flower paint and just just letting everyone paint whatever they want. So So when you say the new lines you mean where those asterisks are the yellow stars, okay, and they'll go across the like which direction though parallel with the street or So they'll they'll basically where there's white on that map that that will be the new lines And so the up in the top where good loyal intersects with Shropshire Those are called curb extensions and basically they're just kind of bringing that that that that that that that that that that that They're just kind of bringing that curb out a little bit further Yeah, please David Philiatry traffic engineering. So yeah, if you go if just looking at here a top one. Oh, I see those these basically demarks where Traffic and the art artistic area Separate exactly. So that's what you can imagine something Similar will these white lines will be in the inside would be the artwork Are those cones or barriers already in place there? I can't remember. No, not not current No, the bought those deflectable bollards and they're not flexible bollards. So they'll be put in after the artwork Likely if we find and say they wouldn't necessarily have to be there especially some of these parts are low-speed But we certainly could look at trying to put some of these in and see like it makes sense for safety Yeah, some of it, you know in the so like down here. They're they're bollards already in I've seen some yeah, and then some of the parking lot areas I'm not sure bollards would necessarily be but maybe some areas where we're altering, you know quote-unquote altering the curb line and Only artistically altering because they're still you know, is some of your funding paying for the bollards or does that come from another source? Yes, okay Well, my last name is Lewis and so I've always had kind of pretend ownership over that Street, so I'm really excited I just want to confirm so your new request of from the public's arts commission is for $39,000 Which is different from what was my application. So 39. Okay, great. Thanks Thanks that we suggested Yes, I think with that that question then will take us into our our new budget So we we added some more surface area by bringing in Lewis Street And then also Nathan was kind enough to meet with Hanna and with Brandis who's also on this team Just to help us develop kind of a more a more realistic and more granular budget So yeah, we it's as you see laid out We do have the funding from district one secured and then the rest of the match will come from Living Streets, Lexington time and services So, yeah, I think again if you have any any questions or comments, I'm happy to take a stab at them one quick question I'm sorry, you were you faded out there for just a second. So you were saying that This is your allocation. You've got what just describe that again your money. Yes So we're asking for 39,000 from a public art commission. We have 5,000 committed from district one funding Okay, and then we have the 3,000 in kind donation from Have a question how long are they supposed to last? So that that's a great question. It really depends on the material that you use I think that we right now our plan is to use a combination of street bond, which is an approved sort of traffic Road painting that lasts for a pretty long time It lasts anywhere from one to five years And then I think we also are thought and we're gonna work I think we're gonna work with the artists to kind of figure out what the best combination of materials is because this is This is new for all of us, but for some of them I think we won't need that really like intense kind of paint and we'll probably use something like like tennis court paint asphalt paint The fact that that all of this none of it is intended to be driven on should help it last a lot longer The asphalt art projects that are in crosswalks or in intersections that get driven on tend to look pretty dingy pretty quickly So, yeah, and and we have that the line item for maintenance So we'll we're committed to for five years going to to keep it looking looking nice and then at that point the road will be Up for repaving at some point in the next few years after that. So yeah So do you have my just back to money for one one second when you said I thought you said when you were saying that From other sources or these are other sources or do you have other money that you feel like is Gonna come in. Are you all doing fundraising or anything like that? Or we that's not our plan currently Yeah, if it felt this is this is your this is our budget Yeah, and then if in five years, let's say it is repaved. What's the plan? Do you all have a future plan for that? I'm just curious if I feel like once you've installed this in a neighborhood, it's gonna be super disappointing if it's gone Yes, I mean, I think Maybe like a two-part answer It's going first it will we will very much hinge on our sort of storytelling and our communication about this project And then second, you know, I think it's it's I think it's fair to say it could be TBD And it could be a thing that we you know, maybe come back and we say can we have funds again for a whole new redesign? I think what can be interesting about these projects is and why they they can potentially fit really well into kind of other quick build city based projects is You know those those kind of quicker installs, you know that are sort of testing concepts and redesigns They they sometimes can lead to something more permanent in which case, you know, the art can either Serve to kind of highlight that or it can be something that's like more permanently Incorporated when there's something like concrete when there's something more fixed so I think it's the real true answer is it's fluid and it's Unknown, but I think it's I think we're pretty comfortable with committing through the materials that we use and through an agreement with the artist to maintaining four or five years and We'll just do our part to be communicating to residents and the neighborhood, you know, this is what this is This is you know, not I don't know. I don't know the Statue of Liberty something that will last for you know centuries We hope anyway, I Hope that answered the question. It does. Thank you To consider be considered permanence, too. So yeah for us. Yeah, and I was wondering Andrew you may know this is there a Timeline of rotation for city roads to be repaved or is it just all based on the there is David could probably talk more about There's kind of two two different tracks though, it's like collectors and larger roads are on they're repaved via effectively a list of pavement condition so They're scanned every three or four years every road is and then repaid based on the condition of the roadway and then the local roads Are repaved I think councilmembers get a particular say and at least at least a portion of those and so And then it's all coordinated. I mean the ideally We're gonna know that there, you know, this project goes forward not gonna repave it in in a year and a half So and things like that, so we'll they'll be the streets and roads be well aware of what's what's going on there and the condition So yeah It doesn't include regular maintenance outside of the pavement, but yeah, exactly You have done a really good job doing research and connecting with all the right People to get this done, right? Anybody have any questions or comments? Yeah, I had a question about the bike lanes on Shopshire Are those going to remain in place? Are we gonna repaint because they're very faded right now, and I know you kind of have a portion Shown at the intersection when you're kind of painting right before we get to town branch Commons And that's where people would transition out of town branch Commons in the bike lane. So are those going to remain? Yeah, well, we'll definitely I was just gonna say that I'm having a meeting with another traffic engineer tomorrow afternoon actually Joe Edmiston and we're gonna sit down and You know that lovely little map with you know, pink and stuff is fine for this purpose But they're gonna need something, you know engineer standard So he and I are gonna work together and that's absolutely something I can talk to him about you know, is this something we can because we're gonna need that drawing for the The company that's contracted to stripe the roads in the city And so I can talk with Joe and sort of feel from him. Is it possible that we can also get those restriped? But yeah, there's no plan to remove them Okay, can you show us where the bike lanes are they're on the far end of the shop Shire They're on both sides of the road. So there's like a four-foot strip. I see that Yeah, it's very faded It's a bike lane so that you can I think it's the legacy trail that comes from the north side that comes down to town Branch Commons and that's the cut through so I just want to make sure that we're not Putting a bunch of artwork and painting where the bike are supposed to be Right Yeah Very pro bike over here. Yeah. Have you guys talked to Scott Thompson all about? Yes. Yes. Yes He's we were just when was that last Friday? I think we talked with him. Yeah, okay good question Yeah, this is great. I like the additions on Lewis. I think that's gonna be perfect around the park Well, that was thanks to you. I think it's a great idea I just want to commend you for that. I like the way this flows through the site I think the kind of leads the viewer the patron, you know down through the space and thank you for revising the budget I think having Public Art Commission's investment and Significant portion of that going to a professional artist is appreciated that we have that artistic design in the process And then I like the idea that you you're gonna test this space out in the spring as I understand it Temporarily and then that will lead to you know more information to go on for the design for the permanent piece so and the and then finally the the approach of using a Street festival while the streets are shut off and people are there to address the safety concerns I think was was a brilliant approach to so, thank you If we have if we don't have any more questions, and I'm gonna kindly ask you to step out for a second and We will reconvene after we do our scoring Thank you, just a minute Let's talk about Let's do this now that I started let's talk about that. Yeah, we score. We are Yeah, this is the way we're gonna do from now on cool and then they come back in they come We like to order them out well because we had some awkward moments with some people we were not gonna approve it Yeah, then we had to do This is easy exactly, but it's president We're gonna say no, we're gonna make you leave first. Yeah, okay, so Celeste hasn't has an idea. Do you wanna I? think perhaps We should fast-track this one. I do I feel like they're they're very organized We think we might just want to fast-track this one and do phase one phase two As one and just approve it today and not do scoring. Oh, no, we can't do scoring Yeah, we have to do the scoring we need the scoring But I'm just I'm suggesting that if the scores are good that we just move them ahead Well one of the thing I was just talking with I was just talking with Andrew briefly about this I mean if there is like any possibility to Either coordinate with With other folks in the city or include additional funds to Do the restriping of the bike lanes there? I don't know just wanted to throw that out there But I just feel like it would be nice if all together to do it all together So we do need traffic Well, I think really it needs to kind of all be done together Let's ask him about that And that funding could come from traffic engineering They may have the money to do that Anyway, since it needs to be done or the council district one office could pay to get it done So the money is probably I'm not gonna say it's there, but it could Andrew you are you comfortable asking them that question when they come back? So this So this old this application actually still has the old numbers on it And It's now been changed on the original phase one application It says proposed budget for the project at 20. That should be 47 And then they're requesting 39 instead of 16 I think the revised budget is a good move a move in the right direction So I was afraid to set precedent that a project of this scale You know, we want to make sure that the artist is getting paid and that we're allocating enough budget to make sure it's successful We're setting a better precedent Well, here we go prove to faster Okay Total be 60 instead of 64 in the in the scoring sheet The scoring total says one and just mark on the bottom if you agree to fast track No, I'm just talking about 64 points equals 80 percent. Oh, yeah, that's math math doesn't add up. I've gotcha It should be 60 right? Oh I see 80% of 60. What is 80% of 60? I get it 65 80% of 80 48 Because we have total of 60 not hundred Seven and eight or question seven and eight yes and no are it's ten points for yes zero points for now It says it up here at the top right into the zero to ten points Okay, okay, so the total would be 80. Yeah confusing Confused when you said, I guess we're using the old sheet I'm sorry. All right. No, I had to have it approved first. Okay, I like this better Well, if it hadn't approved we could have used the old sheet It is good. I like it much faster and today's there. Okay, so what do we bring? Jill welcome. Yeah. Hey, do you miss the presentation? Okay We're using this new form the one that doesn't have as much on it The cooler proved the kinder gentler, okay the kinder yeah, it is So, I guess I'll collect those Oh, yeah, I'm here for dialogue Yeah, thank you faith, it's like we're going to get him Oh Yes So and then everybody make note that they're gonna do something it was at May 16th They're gonna have a little outdoor festival or something But she said May 16th May 16th Did you say that there's an event on May 16th, okay May 16th called Street Fest Street Fest Would you know what time it starts? Okay We all love this project. Yeah, really impressed Yeah, and Andrew has one question Yeah, so I just wanted to Confirm that you guys are going to coordinate with the city to get the funding for the striping and have that done at the same time if possible Yeah, we're hoping to have the striping done before striping season starts, which is March as my understanding So we need to we need to get in there before the contractors are too busy Yeah, we just want to make sure that was done at the same time as this project. It'll be done before. Yeah, ideally Okay, there's a striping season there's a striping yeah We have decided to fast-track this and it's approved and we really look forward to seeing the artist design and seeing you again We're looking forward to Mayfest for outdoor Street Fest. Okay. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. I really appreciate it Thank you guys The Next item on the agenda is to discuss of the review of the financial summary And that is the paper with the green Thank you again faith your hard work And any questions about this Yeah Not sure I can answer it, but go ahead and try me This looks this is really great and super helpful I wanted to go down to the to the items in blue which are funds that are being held Obviously, it looks like we have Mill around a million in held unspent funds The MLK underpass project is a project that's been Attempting to get up and going a number of times And so I was wondering if there is the potential to discuss If there were a viable plan for that to come forward increasing that funding. I Think I just had a meeting about it yesterday wonderful. And I think Brandy Peter has some thoughts on it. She has a project going nearby and that I think you know about and Because she mentioned that she talked to you about it. So I feel like this There's some synergy there and I feel like it's breathing new life into the potential Also in my meeting there seemed to be a super positive feeling that we can overcome the barriers that we've hit Seem to really stop stymie the project and that was the state and there seems to be a little bit of movement there So I think this is a classic example of where you get a no a no a no and right before you give up Someone goes let's try this. So I am very encouraged about it That's not to say that we're green light all the way, but I'm super encouraged about it So I really want us to keep that alive and I do think it will need additional funding. There's no question about it Okay, so do you feel like that's something we should just discuss when the time comes well when I do maybe have a little bit More information but it could be and also I'd like to maybe come up with a new budget that would give us the amount that We actually that we would need but I feel like this is more alive now than it was Even last week, so I feel good about it. That's the only one that's been kind of Stymied is the MLK the other ones I have movement, you know, and things are going forward MLK was for some time seemed dead in the water, but it's not anymore Just for actually maybe this is new business but related to the budget I'm wondering if with Breeders Cup coming in the fall if we might want to consider a Pot of money to do some activation. I know that we're we're dedicated towards permanent public art but we term permanent as two years or more and there would be an opportunity to do something that would be two years or so Installation that would start in advance of Breeders Cup being here that could really activate some of the corridors That you know people will be utilizing during that time We did that the last Breeders Cup and we utilize some corridors Commission funds to do a I think at that time It was an 18 month installation that did leave some lasting impact Along some of those spaces So I just wanted to toss that out there while we're looking at the budget that there might be an opportunity for Public Art Commission to consider Doing something very present, you know in advance of that event Do you have in mind that this would be something that would be a long corridors or a one piece kind of thing? It could it could take either form But I think activating multiple pieces along some of the through fairs could be an interesting way to Create a bigger splash last the last The last time Breeders Cup was in town we did I think about 12 sculptures along Newtown Pike and leading leading out for sales road and Again, it wasn't Public Art Commission doing that but it was corridors Commission Investing in it But it just I just wanted to put that out there as we're looking at the budget that there might be an opportunity to partner with some other Entities in town to do something, you know kind of bigger for that. That would be I think this is maybe something that we should And when it's Breeders Cup, tell me again the dates. I believe there's a There's a push to do a series of events and things the last week of October Does it leave us a great deal of time I'm wondering if we Perhaps need to put together subcommittee that will work on this In a very focused way. Is anyone interested in being on a Breeders Cup subcommittee? Okay, so we're saying it's not on there alone who else would like to do it Sheila, okay I'm on the corridors Commission as well. So I Okay. All right. I'm writing these down faith Because last time I couldn't remember anything Nathan you got me and Nathan. Yeah, I mean can you okay? All right, Andrews Andrews Andrews a given he has to be on all the committees. It's just kind of amazing what we all bring to the table. Yeah It's a nice mix. Yeah Okay, so that will be a subcommittee that we will Email you guys maybe you Doodle poll or something to get you all together on a date and you get that started. I love that suggestion. Thank you. Yeah, great Okay, any other questions about the financial summary All right, then we will move on beyond that and discuss efforts for community outreach and again I'm gonna defer to Celeste. You've already given us a little bit of an update Well, this is This is the area of faith that we were going to talk about the Gainesville, yeah, so what you think yeah, okay I just didn't know if that wasn't the whole thing The goal was just to talk about how much of the budget that we have in ways that we can get more people to apply Yes Community outreach I have a couple of suggestions, but I do want to give you all an update on the Gainesville project But community outreach I was thinking we might actually need to and I don't know what the rules are This might be a big no, but that we might need to do some Some outreach in the public that tells people who we are and what we're doing I do feel like we don't have from the greater community We don't have people sort of breaking down the door to bring us their projects I feel like there's art projects that people don't realize that could be funded And that we could help with that So I'm a little bit worried that we're still in this sort of layer up here and people don't know that we exist So I don't know if we need to do billboards or flyers or lots of social media posts or what we need to do But I feel like the outreach all of us have a responsibility for this outreach But also maybe we need to do something in the in the vein of actually Advertising so I wanted you all to be thinking about that That's a thing that I think we probably need to discuss maybe at a future meeting But to put your thinking caps on about ways that we can do more visible outreach that the Public Art Commission is open for business And want to help I feel like we are not moving this forward in a much bigger way that we are able to do So I'd like to do that also, I feel like Even within governments of people and it's very encouraging that Hanna came to us with this but I feel like there's a lot of Projects that even are percolating here in city government that they don't realize that that we can help with so No matter where you are in your work life or life If you guys will talk up the Public Art Commission And then we can talk about maybe doing something a little bit more more visible the update Oh, and as Faith mentioned also Members, so we do have a couple of applications for members The we have a one architect and one LFU CG opening so we We have received an application from Clive pole who is an architect here in Lexington and also a sculptor So I like the idea that he was could be double duty a little bit He's a metal like large-scale sculptural sculptor not like Gary Bibbs, but but sculptor so That is to be considered. I don't know how you all feel about it We've asked a couple times for for recommendations, and they're not really rolling in But I would like very much to fill both of these positions So if how do you all feel about Clive pole? Do we want to move forward with him? He could come to a meeting and talk to us if you'd like I'm not sure how those that's usually handled because we haven't done it in a while. Yeah Anything you I mean, I don't think it's I don't think it's okay to assume everybody knows who Clive pole is I do Yeah, many of us do but I think at the very least he's more than willing to come You know chat with us or talk to us, but it'd be great. Yeah, and could we also get his application and review it? I know Clive pole very well, and I worked with him for five years and still have a great relationship with Clive And he's absolutely wonderful and his brother helped write the yes Oh, you all might remember Graham Graham was one of our initial members, right? And then I had coffee with Clive to discuss his interest and he did seem very okay. He's super When he first mentioned, you know that he would maybe be interested I We met and talked and he just seemed like he all of his thinking about public art in Lexington is very beneficial And and he does have this wonderful experience, so I was pretty enthusiastic about it But I do want everyone to see the application. I do want everyone to get to know Clive through his Website it pole Rasa pole is the name of his firm He is the only one left both the the first pole and the Rosa Rasa have both left But there is still Clive working as an architect here in Lexington And at the Pam Miller downtown art center, we showed his art sometimes so I knew him from from that too So anyway, thank you for your comments Jill. Yeah, I have one question When do we want to have these positions filled? Well, there isn't necessarily a deadline But the fact that I receive an email every month saying here are the open positions So I'm a little bit more, you know aware of it. And so every time I get one, I think all right We've got to fill these positions. So That's why we got to work on that and those are just really honestly as commissions go only having two vacancies It's not bad. We have a pretty good healthy group, especially when everybody shows up So I'm not worried about it, but I would like to fill the positions both of them ASAP I do have another recommendation and I'll I'll see if I put the architect. Yes. Okay. Yeah, so I'll forward that to you Sure, just email it to me. That'd be great. You know, what is the other position open? No, but I just want to What is the other position opens architect an LF you CG employee? Okay So I vacated that right to become the mayor's representative so now that my old position is open So we can send you names you can send me names. I actually I might as well go ahead and just say this Um, I actually thought about Hana who presented today. She is Not Alice, but Hana who with asphalt art the problem would be they would be Coming to us from time to time for money for asphalt art But she would have to recuse herself each time in that you know, what is Hana? It's roar. She works in planning She is the community outreach person in planning. Okay? And has brought if she is actually the person that researched and sort of decided asphalt art was a Lexington project And so but I've met with her a couple times about asphalt art and and actually Brandi mentioned her too. She was like Perhaps Hana would be a good so I immediately thought no because she's gonna be Requesting funding from time to time, but then faith mentioned she could always recuse herself. So Because it won't be that often. So that's just one that I have not approached her. I've not talked to her about it She knows nothing about that, but it did come up in conversation that she might possibly be a good choice But I I do want to say this again out loud I am entertaining possibilities. If you all will email me these recommendations. I don't know what I don't know So if you guys will send me these recommendations, we'd love to And what I do is just reach out to the person and say would you like to apply and then the official application happens? Okay, okay, thanks. Yeah, thanks for explaining that and you're absolutely right. We do need to do more outreach. I've thought about that for a while Well, if you guys would actually Email with some suggestions there I think we would have the budget to do I don't know an ad in Chevy Chaser or we could do an ad in the Paper or we could do I mean, I'd love something that a publication that reached far and wide. I'm not sure I mean, I guess smiley Pete would be Chevy Chaser and Southsider but if we could do something that would just And definitely social media. We need to do something on that I'll talk to Susan Straub about that But we need the community at large to understand that this is a great resource But Anyway, I just I really want to see us I want this to be like four or five things every time, you know, I mean like people bringing us all these projects What about reaching out to the public schools and all the art teachers and the public school Specifically, I mean my daughter's very active in the arts and they have all the old students have a lot of ideas And if the art teacher can help Organize it and represent is that a good? Well, there's a there isn't actually arts department at the Fayette County Public Schools at Catherine Lothar And we could leave her that information and she could disseminate it You know to all the public teachers and public art teachers and all that. We just need to get the word out That's just it's just you know, whatever method possible would be fantastic We we could have some like actual event that invite people and share and we could have like one pager with QR code two steps how you can do it because I I'm even I'm not a UK anymore. But professors over there like they I mentioned that they're like, oh, I didn't know about that Like they just don't know. Yes, I run into this all the time I'll say something about the Public Art Commission and people have no idea. I think you've touched on something though I think if we just put maybe a flyer with a QR code out in every coffee shop and every classroom and everything That might be the easiest way to disseminate this information is so people can be curious and maybe follow up with a QR code I like the sound of that So if it's okay with everyone, I think for our next meeting. We'll make that a part of our Agenda that we will discuss that further and in the meantime faith and I can work on some designs faces Amazing at that and she can come up with maybe a cool flyer and we can maybe start there with a flyer Is that agreeable to everybody? All good ideas Okay anymore. Oh the gains weight. Oh games weight. Yes, so we met with Georgia and faith and Andrew was there. Yeah, we met with Councilmember Beasley and who was great She knows a lot about Gaines way and a lot about the park and we missed you Roseanne We want you to be part of this If you can if you can do it Oh shoot, did we okay, I'm so sorry. Oh Oh Well, I didn't do we do I don't think I did an invite It was just sort of like we're gonna be meeting at the pan Miller. We met up on the second floor We'll do it again because we we only barely got into it But I definitely want you to be part of that. We did enough to put this survey together. Yeah. Yes so if you guys will look at the survey the Council aid for Amy Beasley put this Mason put this together So we thought to get some community involvement in that area that we would send They have what did she say like? 3,000 or something on her mailing list. She's got a huge mailing list. They were gonna send out a survey for Public interest in an input on what people would like to see in that park because those of us who were on that committee That went to the park and looked around we we spun our wheels a little bit about that There was just so many possibilities and so many places and do we want to be in the water? Do we want to be on the land? Do you know do we want it visible from the road? Do we want it to be closer? to the school, the playground, there was a lot of questions. So we realized that maybe what we need is input from that community. So this is, it's only two questions so far, but we wanted, I think it was sent out to you guys to add a question if you wanted to. So if you guys will take a look at that and before the next meeting, if anybody wants to add, I mean, I'm sorry, it would need to be like right away to add a question. Otherwise, this is the survey that's going to go out, these two questions. Do we have a copy of that? I don't think we have it. In this? I don't, I don't see it. Yeah, it's also a very active community center, as you know, and so there's going to be, some of these surveys are going to be there with a box. They will be there in a box, and of course, Council Member Beasley will be talking about it in all her meetings. But we're hoping to get input on, so if you don't have the thing, it's short. The questions are, when you visit Gainesway Park, which areas or features do you use most often? And what kinds of art, creative features, or design elements would you like to see included in Gainesway Park? I sort of like the simplicity of the two questions. I thought it was just very, what else do we need to know? So I had told Mason that unless anyone changed their mind today and wanted to add anything, that we would green light this survey. Not that we have to green light it, but I mean, we would give them our thumbs up on their survey. So this is going to go out, like Georgia said, to community centers, it'll go out on their mailing list, and we should get some good input. So that's the update on that project. We wanted to stop our ideas and all of our brainstorming until we get some public input. Is the input going to Faith or to Mason? It's going to go to all of, I mean, Faith and Mason, and we're all going to look at it, and we'll bring it to you guys next time. Okay, great. Can I, sorry, can I suggest one question to add, is just where they would like to see art? Sure. We can ask people to get specific. Yeah, it might help to get a focal point. That is, that is, we did talk a lot about that because it's a huge park. It's huge. And the visibility really changes because of the little rolling hills. So yeah, yeah, I think it's good. Well, if you guys remember, the discussion was about, we kind of focused on wanting to put something in the water, and also under the bridge, and those ideas got somewhat dampened by the fact that Parks was like, please, please, please, do not put anything else in the water. They've had maintenance problems with all of the fountains and the lights and everything in the water. So they asked emphatically that we not pursue that. Then we talked about the bridge, but we, I had some concerns, Andrew, like you said, by that time with the storm drains, we didn't want to attract children to get into the water to look at something. So we sort of dampened that down. Then we talked about maybe on the bridge. But then we realized, I think when you came to the park with us, Roseanne, you had mentioned that there's that little promontory, you know, there's that little flat place up there that would also be a great sculpture if we wanted to do something kinetic or something very interesting up there that was really eye-catching. So I think the problem with the Gaines Way project is there's just too many possibilities. So we really just need to work now to bring it down to a couple of really good viable possibilities. And then, I think you mentioned this in the meeting, at that point, we turn it over to an artist and they go with it. You know, then they begin to create what will actually be the real creative input on it. So we just need to start getting these steps made. So this is the first step is getting the public input. And Jill, I will send this to Mason today to add that question. Okay. Make sure you're on the mailing list, Roseanne. Yeah, and Roseanne, I'm so sorry. I'm not sure how that happened, but we'll look into that. And then we did, because we, Roseanne, it was so cold and horrible. We just met upstairs at the Pam Miller. So we mentioned that day, we have to go back to the site, but nobody wants to go until it's a little bit less. So you didn't really miss a huge amount. Mainly what we were doing is just re-coalescing to start this again. And Amy Beasley's great. She really is. She and Mason are really excited about this and really are engaged in their communities. Yeah, she has impressive knowledge of every inch of that place. She does, yeah. Yeah, it was great. All right, these are all wonderful ideas. I feel like this has been a very fruitful gathering. And is there any old business? Any more new business, Nathan? You're usually the new business guy. Just the comment about potentially breeder's cup. Yeah. Put that seed and we can think about it. Got a lot of seeds planted today. Yeah. All right. Well, any public comment? I guess not. Motion to adjourn. So moved. Second. All right, all in favor say aye. Aye. Thank you, Georgia. Thank you everyone. See ya. See ya. See ya. First you say aye. Second again, say aye. Second to second say aye. Baby love, my baby love. I need you, oh I need you. But all you do is treat me bad. Break my heart and leave me sad. Tell me what did I do wrong to make you stay away so long. Cause baby love, my baby love. Been missing you, miss kissing you. Wake up, today's gonna be a good day. Wake up, today's gonna be a good day. Need to hold you once again my love. Feel your warm embrace my love. Don't throw our love away. Please don't do me this way. Not happy like I used to be. Loneliness has got the best of me my love. Baby love, my baby love. I need you, oh I need you. Why you do me like you do. After I've been true to you. So deep in love with you. Baby, baby, ooh. Till it's hurting me, till it's hurting me. Baby love, don't throw our love away. You'd think that people would've had enough of silly love songs. But I look around me and I see it isn't so. Some people wanna fill the world with silly love songs. And what's wrong with that? I'd like to know. Cause here I go again. I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Ah, I can't explain the feeling, baby. Now can't you see? Ah, she gave me more, she gave it all to me. Now can't you see? What's wrong with that? I need to know. Cause here I go again. I love you. I love you. Love doesn't come in a minute. Sometimes it doesn't come at all. I only know that when I'm in it, it isn't silly. Love isn't silly. Love isn't silly at all, baby. guitar, bass, & drums play rock Where are we at, Bash? We are at the famous, the historic Kentucky Theatre, downtown Lexington, Kentucky. And what a great place to celebrate what we're celebrating today. And do you know what we're celebrating? It's unbelievable. It's our last episode of Season 2. It's hard to believe it was two seasons, right? I remember starting in late 23 when we started working on this project. And we have had so much fun with it. And we've learned a lot, too, I think. And we've gotten to be really good friends. It's been a great, great project. But before we do what we're going to do today, which we're going to have some fun with, we want to thank, enjoy the popcorn, right? We want to thank some people. So first of all, Chief Weathers. Hey, is this the theatre for Die Hard? It's my favorite Christmas movie. It's not a Christmas movie. You know, we haven't seen you since Episode 1. And now you show up at the theatre here, and you're at the wrong place. Oh, man. So, Chief Weathers and the command staff have been fantastic. Men so supportive of this project. And we really, really appreciate them. We appreciate all of the guests that we've had on. We've worked with so many different topics, so many special guests. And we can't forget the production crew behind the scenes. They're amazing. Lex TV is phenomenal. We have had so much fun with them, getting to know them. They are fantastic. So talented, and they have been so supportive of this project. They have done a fantastic job. And let me just say, it's the viewers, right? We have had so many people have come up to us in the community, outside the community, outside the state that have come up to us and said, hey, we watched the show. We absolutely love it. And we've learned so much about the police department, about policing, about police technology, all the different things we talked about. So we really just want to thank everybody and thank you at the end of Season 2 for everybody's involvement and everybody's support of this project. Let's get ready for Season 3. I can't wait for that. So today we are going to go back. We're going to watch some highlights of the first two seasons. And we're actually going to look at some bloopers. That should be the fun part. And we've got our popcorn here at the historic Kentucky Theater. So sit back and let's watch Season 1, Season 2 highlights and bloopers. Do you remember earlier this year? It was like one of the coldest days of the year. How could I forget? And we did the patrol episode. It was so cold. Well, that's the thing about patrol. Every day is different. Every shift is different. Every, I mean, you see, you obviously go to work every day. Knowing that you can see the worst of the worst. And that's what a lot of people don't realize. I don't think about patrol is that, you know, somebody has to respond to these things, right? And it all starts with patrol. We're your first line of defense. We get the calls. We initiate the initial report before it goes to its specified bureau or detective that it's going to go to. And if an officer wants to follow up with that particular case, they can get with that detective that gets assigned that case. And they'll assign it to them as well. And they can work in unison with that detective to see this case, if it goes all the way through the court system and if it has to go to trial and stuff like that. So we do like doing that because there's a few cases that just hit home. You're just like, oh man, can I follow through with this case? Whether it's domestic or narcotic related or you got someone and it closes out like five to six burglary reports because they've been tied to all these other, you know, criminal offenses. And you remember when we did the motor episode and Larry Wilcox from Chips came in. Absolutely love that. Yeah. Good morning and a happy day to everybody in Lexington and the PD department. God bless you. You mentioned that you rode before, before the show and that you went through police motorcycle training. Was there any differences in what you knew before you went through training compared to after you went through training? You think your riding changed a lot? Yeah, it really changed a lot. You know, most of the stuff that I knew before were problem areas that get in the way in terms of police training. But, you know, for example, just your head placement in terms of what you look at and where you're looking at things that you don't want to be looking at because you're going to hit them. You know, they always say, don't look at the rock in the middle of the road because you're going to hit it now, right? Which, sure enough, you do, right? And, you know, then turning, you know, it's always looking about what people forget is that police bike's very heavy, number one. And it's a lot of, you know, the difficulty is all the slow riding. The inertia and the balancing of the bike when you're just braking and clutching and barely moving through traffic and trying to balance it in kind of weird areas. So, you know, we got really good at that. And doing figure eights in a small rectangle without laying the bike down is always an issue. And that's why I always say that, you know, anyone can ride a motorcycle fast, but not many can ride it really, really slow. High-speed braking was another issue. You know, I didn't know anything about that. And so my braking was usually just the rear brake. CHP train different where you use both brakes and easily use them. So, you know, I probably laid the bike down multiple times and all that, but you have those bars on the side that it falls on. So that spares you a little bit. Yeah, without gloves and, you know, some pads and stuff, it can bruise you up a little bit, but once you learn how to do it, it's not a big deal. And then, so braking was one issue. High-speed braking in terms of where the rear end comes around and says hello to you. The motorcycle, I exaggerating to make my point, but it does come around. And, you know, that's pretty intimidating. But once you learn how to do it, you know, look pretty cool when you come in hot and that happens, it's not a big deal, right? And then also, you know, being quiet and logical instead of emotional so that you can process information on a motorcycle because you have another, you have multiple other factors going on. And do you also remember a couple months ago, one of my favorite episodes, canine unit, with all the puppy dogs. Everybody loves the dogs. So how do we use the dogs? What are the purposes and what do we have? Patrol dogs, we have different types of dogs. What do we have? Yeah, so our primary three things are going to be patrol dogs, narcotic dogs, and bomb dogs. Obviously, we use dogs because they smell better than us. So the main breeds that you're going to see is, obviously, your typical German Shepherd. That's what everybody thinks about for a police dog. We also have Belgian Malinois. We have a Dutch Shepherd. And then, obviously, you saw Raya. We have Lab, Floppy Ears dogs sometimes for single-purpose use. Okay. What is the difference between the three, the patrol, narcotics, and bomb? So the patrol dogs, they're going to be used primarily whenever we need to find subjects who have committed crimes. Whether it's someone's broken into a building, they've committed a violent crime, and we need to track their odor and find them for the sake of us and the public. Your explosive dogs, I'm sure Chaz can go into it more. This is going to be for your big events to make sure that we don't have any explosives hidden. And then narcotics, primary use is going to be for vehicles that we suspect there's narcotics inside. So I know we talked about the different types of dogs. Are they multipurpose, or do they just, if that's a narcotics dog, that's just a narcotics dog? Yeah. No, most of our dogs are dual-purpose. We'll have, I think we have two single-purpose dogs. One was Raya, who you spoke with earlier. Yeah, I spoke with her. Yeah, spoke with her. She's an explosives dog, and that's her only job. We have another narcotics detection dog, and he's with our narcotics unit. He's only narcotics. All the other dogs are dual-purpose, which means they'll do patrol, which is apprehension, finding people, finding evidence, and they're also either narcotics or explosives. My dog, Kato, is a dual-purpose patrol and bomb dog, so he does both. When we look for the dogs, we look for a dog that is environmentally sound. We need to make sure that they're comfortable in every environment because they can be really weird out there in the world. We look for dogs that have great noses. Pat mentioned their best feature for us is their nose. It helps us locate what we need to find, whether it's missing people, criminals, narcotics, explosives. So we always look to make sure that they have a really good hunt drive and that they hunt and that they have really good changes and they can find things. First, it's just the ball because they know what a ball is. It's easy to see. They have a lot of ball drive and that they hunt methodically, so they're always checking and looking and hopeful that they're going to discover something because that makes the training take a lot better than if they didn't care. And you remember going up in the helicopter doing the air support unit and you did a fly-along with us? Yes, and I didn't get sick. You didn't get sick, and that was a good thing, right? Nicole, you used to be in a cruiser on the ground, so we're about 1,000 feet right now over the city. What are your thoughts? What do you think about it? Do you like it? I love to fly, so I think this is awesome. The first time I flew, I didn't know our cruisers had our P numbers on the hood because I was like, how do you tell whose is who? That helps us out a whole lot because there's been several times that we would have to reposition cruisers, and by having that P number on top of the car, we can certainly tell where everybody's at. It's definitely a different perspective from up here. You know, it's truly a bird's-eye view, so again, it's all about safety, keeping the officers safe, but also keeping the citizens safe. So there's, and we also, we do a lot of large-scale events. We're command and control for UK football games. Anytime we've got a large traffic event where we can monitor traffic flow up here and advise arteries to go green and assist with traffic flow. So there's all different types of uses for this. One of the benefits from us, a lot of times a call will be dispatched, and we can get over the call relatively quickly to get the ground units information that they need. For instance, it may be an accident on I-75. We're able to get over there pretty quick and let them know what they've got, how it's going to impact traffic flow, what kind of fire apparatus is going to be needed, different things like that. So we do not have to worry about stop lights up here. We are right now, we're about 70 miles per hour as far as ground speed goes. We do everything by knots, but we're roughly about 70 miles an hour right now. So we always maintain about a 60-knot forward airspeed just in case we were to lose an engine. Bell Aircraft says that we can do an autorotation and land safely as long as we've got that forward airspeed. So you'll never see us hovering in the air. It's only on takeoff and landing. So, question. Yes, ma'am. Is the visibility better like in the wintertime because you have all these trees and the leaves and we can't see through them like spring, summer, but if we're trying to find someone in the wintertime, is it better when there's no leaves on the trees? That is a great question. So a topical flight officer loves wintertime because we don't have leaves and it does, the visibility is completely different. How we compensate for that is flight patterns. We adjust those a little bit in the summer when we've got a lot of foliage. And then we also have the thermal imager using the port looking infrared before we're on board. So depending on how thick the vegetation is, we'll utilize that a lot of times if we have somebody fleeing on foot or if we have a lost subject on the ground, we'll be able to use the port looking infrared to detect body heat and try to locate them that way through foliage. And one of our most recent episodes was the drones. The drones, I always loved the technology. So when the drones were put into patrol, we put one in each sector and we trained two pilots each shift for each sector. Those folks train quarterly according to policy, so they come in and do their quarterly training. We do a night training to make sure they're proficient in their skills. And those drones have proven to be very beneficial for finding not only missing folks but also suspects that are wanted in crimes. So do we have some success stories? We have a lot of success stories. Fortunately, we've been able to find some missing people, missing children that have been either run away or gotten away from home that they can't find their way back. We've been able to use that. But more importantly, we've been able to protect our officers on scene when they're responding to calls. One specifically happened within the last year where a person had assaulted their significant other, fled in a vehicle, and then the police got behind that vehicle. The person wrecked and then fled into a wooded area. What you have there is a wooded area where somebody can take up an advantage against the police. We were able to use the drone and find a heat signature. What that did is allow the officers to form a perimeter and call that person out to them rather than potentially harming not only our officers but the suspect that was in there. It makes an overall safe environment because once again you have that third perspective and you're able to say, we know we see you in there. You need to come out to us. And that person actually did give up. And that's just one of many success stories where we've been able to find folks that have fled from traffic stops or domestic violence or any kind of crimes in our community. We've been able to dispatch those drones from the patrol officers that have those with them, put those up immediately after and find these folks. Man, that was great. Who puts all this together? That was some pretty great material, let me just tell you. And Tyler Rowlett, he's our producer, our editor with the project with LexTV. He's awesome. Awesome. Fantastic job. Surely we don't have any bloopers though, do we? I've got a whole folder. I keep all of them. I don't believe it. You do? Yeah, I've got two years worth. Let's check some out. Well, that's not my fault, that's his fault. Keep it down. Hey, we are back here with Sergeant Gary Thurman with... Let's start over. That's on the bloopers, okay. Do what? I'm having one of your moments. We are here with Matt Grayhouse, commander of the... Oh God. Commander of Oh God. All right. All right. 1917. Why don't you play your video games back there? I still don't have anything to hold on to. Right there. There you go. Oh, Jesus. That's just... All right. Man, it is two seasons. It's hard to believe. It's hard to believe. It was fun today though, going back and watching. We've had so much fun doing this project. And are you ready for season three? Yes. So I know we've interviewed a whole lot of specialized units already in the first two seasons. Who do we have lined up coming up for season three? We've still got many, many specialized units. I know that we already have some planned as far as E911, the 911 center, where everything starts, when people call the police department, call the fire department. And we've got the emergency response unit, our SWAT team. We're going to be talking with them. So we've got other partnerships, other specialized units, a full lineup for season three. I'm excited. I am too. So we, again, thank everyone for watching. You're Lex PD. And make sure that you join us for all of our episodes on season three. We'll see you next time. Wake up. Today's going to be a good day. Wake up. Today's going to be a good day. Wake up. Today's going to be a good day. Wake up when they're going to rise in the sun. Step two.

Your little hands wrapped around my finger. And it's so quiet in the world tonight. Your little eye lids flutter. I'll take you in, turn on your favorite night light. To you, everything's funny.

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up. Don't you ever grow up. It could stay this simple. I won't let nobody hurt you. Won't let no one break you. Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up. Hi, I'm Liz Sheehan, and I'm the council member for the 5th District here in Lexington. And we're going to talk to you today about the Her Story project that's going on in 2026 for Lexington. And I have Liza Holland here from the League of Women Voters of Lexington, and Mandy Higgins, the executive director of the Lexington History Museum. So thank you both for being here with me today to talk over this new and exciting project. Thank you so much for having us. Yeah. Liza, can you tell me a little bit about the project, just kind of a general overview? Absolutely. Stand With Her Story is an initiative based upon the fact that women, historically, have been very underrepresented in history. And so we thought doing something that might overrepresent us a little bit might be a really neat idea. So this is an all-call for stories about how women are making our society work. It could be everything from a six-year-old saying, my mom is the best, to someone who has an employee that just always lifts the morale, all the way up to Isabel Yates as an icon and everything in between. So it's a quantity versus quality type of an initiative. And all of the people who are submitted their stories will live in a display here at the Lexington History Museum. So you can come and visit and type in the name and be able to see the impact that those women have made. Thank you. And so this started with the League of Women Voters of Lexington, but you are now partnering with the History Museum and we're in the Lexington History Museum right now. Mandy, tell us a little bit about this partnership. How it has evolved and what the History Museum's role is going to be. Yeah. So Liza came. Liza kind of cold called me, which was great. Instead, I have this idea and I think the museum would be a great partner. And so we met at Martins. You know, if someone wants to nominate Martins, that might be a great one. And had a conversation about the importance of what the work that we can do in uplifting women's stories. So the Lexington History Museum tells everybody in Lexington stories. And we were immediately really intrigued with this idea of being a place where you could come to learn a little bit more about everyday Lexingtonians, as well as our most well-known folks. So we started talking about how we could do that, how we could honor women. It came to the conclusion that a permanent kiosk of nominated and self-nominated stories would allow us to do that. And then what's so exciting for us and for history lovers is that we're going to get stories we never had before to understand Lexington. And so we're really excited to see what people nominate and what kind of stories we can tell. That tells a lot about the larger Fayette County over the course of its 250 years and how we're thinking about ourselves today. Yeah. And we're standing next to some great women of Lexington history. Like we've got Isabelle Yates here and Pam Miller here, among some other women that are highlighted. But this this is a broader call. Right. So we oftentimes think about like award winners or you have to do something grand, you know, to be nominated for an award. But this is broader than that. So it's not an award, but it's like a recognition of, like you said, all the everyday people. So tell me a little bit more about the stories you'd like to share or some examples of of who to nominate. You mentioned a couple before. Yeah. So for me, history is made by all of us. Right. So any any one of us are impacting the people around us every day. Those are the stories we want. The person who made sure that kids went to school with shoes every day, but we didn't know their name. Or the Fortune 500 banker who made sure that a small business got a loan, which led to the next thing. And we didn't know the banker's name. Right. We only know about that business that took off. We want those stories because that tells us so much about who we are and who this community is and who it could be if we all knew all of these sorts of things. And we also want for individuals to realize their own power in this. Right. That you every day are interacting with people that you are making a difference when you're doing that and you may not know it. So this is a chance for me to nominate a friend or a colleague who I see doing really incredible work and for that to be recorded in history. And it doesn't just stop with me knowing they did it. Now, everybody has a chance to know they did it. Yeah. And I think the stories can not only recognize someone whose work might have not gotten recognized in the past, but also can inspire others to do something that they might see as like a simple task, but really has an impact on someone else's life and the growth of Lexington overall. So tell me a little bit about how to nominate someone. We try to make it as easy as possible. We do have flyers that we're kind of placing around town with little QR codes. But you can go to the league's website, which is LWV Lexington dot com and slash her story will get you right there. And so it's a short form that it'll ask for your name, your the name of your nominee, a little bit, about 250 words, up to 250 words. Doesn't have to be that long about the person. We're also asking when this impact happened, because maybe it was a grandmother that, you know, from several generations ago that made some sort of an impact. And then you can upload pictures or a little video or whatever you'd like to, to be able to contribute to your story. Then we're we're excited that in March, we're going to do a reading of all the names that have been submitted down at the stand. So everybody will be able to have their their name. publicly brought forward. And then we're real excited about the opportunity to maybe get more people into the museum so that they could come in, type in Lee Sheehan, and see the wonderful impact that you've made. Well, maybe. So tell us where the stand is too, because not everyone might be familiar with that, because that is also an achievement for our community. It really is. Very few monuments are made for women. And Breaking the Bronze Ceiling was an organization really designed to make that happen here in Lexington. And so there is this gorgeous, super tall statue of suffragettes that is on the backside of the blue building. So I believe that's on High Street. Yeah, so you can see that monument downtown. But that's where the reading of the names for all of those in this project will be. So the call to action here is for you to think of 1, 2, 3, 5, 10 women whose stories that you want to recognize. And then go to the League of Women Voters of Lexington's website and submit those stories so they can be preserved and everyone can know about all of the great things going on in Lexington. Thank you, everyone. ["BREAKING THE BRONZE CEILING"] Says she's had enough of me. I've had enough of her, too. I might as well go on and set her free. She's already turned me loose. No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong. That's just the way it sometimes goes. Sometimes two people just don't get along. It's time to hit the road. Goodbye, farewell, so long. Bye-a-ponios, good luck. Wish you well. Take it slow. Easy come, go easy go. We tried to work it out a hundred times. 99, it didn't work. I think it's best we put it all behind before we wind up getting hurt. No hard feelings, darling, no regrets. No tears and no broken hearts. Call it quits, calling off all bets. It just wasn't in the cards. Goodbye, farewell, so long. Bye-a-ponios, good luck. Wish you well. Take it slow. Easy come, go easy go. Easy come, go easy go. So you're leaving in the morning on the early train. Well, I could say everything's all right. And I could pretend and say goodbye. Got your ticket, got your suitcase, got your leaving smile. Well, I could say that's the way it goes. And I could pretend that you won't know that I was lying. Because I can't stop loving you. No, I can't stop loving you. No, I won't stop loving you. Stop loving me. Why should I? Went to the taxi, to the station, not a word to say. And I saw you walk across the road for maybe the last time. I don't feel it harder, could be longer. I'm the railway train. And when I hear the whistle, I'll walk away. And you won't know that I'll be crying. Because I can't stop loving you. No, I can't stop loving you. No, I won't stop loving you. Why should I? I'll be by your side. I'll always be here by your side. I'll always be here by your side. I never wanted to say goodbye. I'm always here if you change, change your mind. So you're leaving in the morning. Leaving in the early train. Well, I could say everything's all right. And I could pretend and say goodbye. But that would be lying. Because I can't stop loving you. Can't stop loving you. No, I can't stop loving you. No, I won't stop loving you. Why should I? Because I can't stop loving you. Can't stop loving you. No, I can't stop loving you. It's all I can do.
