Apr 28, 2021 Technical Advisory Committee

[*This meeting was joined in progress* 1. DRAFT Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Multimodal Transportation Priorities List (MMPL)]

[00:00:04]

IN ORDER TO TRACK TO PROJECT PROGRESS, THIS SLIDE SHOWS A SUMMARY OF FULLY FUNDED PROJECTS REMOVED FROM THE LAST YEAR'S MPO.

YOU MAY WONDER WHAT IS FULLY FUNDED PROJECTS.

ALL OF [INAUDIBLE] THAT THE PRODUCT NEEDED HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMED IN THE MOST RECENT WORK PROGRAM OR TIP.

NO ADDITIONAL FUNDS ARE NEEDED.

THERE ARE FOUR [INAUDIBLE] PROJECTS ARE FULLY FUNDED AND ONE [INAUDIBLE] PROJECT FULLY FUNDED, ONE ROADWAY PROJECTS FULLY FUNDED, AND THE TWO SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND THE SAFETY PROJECT FULLY FUNDED.

THIS IS TOTAL 8 PROJECTS GRADUATED FROM THE MPO IS NOT KERRIED OVER INTO THIS MPO.

SO THE [INAUDIBLE] ALSO INCLUDES [INAUDIBLE] PRIORITIES.

FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT THE [INAUDIBLE] OF PRIORITIES, PLEASE REFER TO THE LAST SECTION OF THE MPO IN THE ATTACHMENT AND THE SAME THING, YOU CAN ALSO FIND THE SECTION IN THE MPO WEBSITE.

SO WITH THAT, THE TEAM IS HERE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU BOTH.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MPO? I DO NOT SEE ANY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BOTH OF YOU.

THE NEXT NONACTION ITEM IS ABOUT THE MPO'S PERFORMANCE MEASURES DASHBOARD, MR.

[2. Broward MPO Performance Measures Dashboard]

ALL RIGHT, GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR.

GOOD AFTERNOON, TAC MEMBERS PAUL FLAVIEN BROWARD MPO DATA SERVICES MANAGEMENT TASKED WITH MAKING SURE THAT THE MPO IS IN COMPLIANCE WITH ALL PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

AND AS PART OF THAT, THE MPO [INAUDIBLE] ABOUT TWENTY EIGHTEEN DECIDED TO BUILD A PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD.

NOW, WHAT THIS ALLOWS US TO DO IS TO BE ABLE TO SHARE OUR PROGRESS IN TERMS OF HOW WE ARE DOING PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

SO WITH THAT, I WILL BE SHARING MY SCREEN AND GO THROUGH A QUICK DEMONSTRATION OF THE DASHBOARD ITSELF.

NOW, CAN YOU ALL SEE MY SCREEN? YES, WE CAN. OK.

AND CAN YOU HEAR ME CLEARLY? I SHOULD ASK THAT AS WELL.

IF YOU CAN SPEAK UP A LITTLE BIT, THAT WOULD BE GREAT.

OK, CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW? YES, BETTER. OK, AWESOME.

NOW, FIRST THING, I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU HOW TO GET TO THE DASHBOARD, RIGHT? YOU GO TO THE MPO'S BEAUTIFUL WEBSITE, YOU GO TO RESOURCES, YOU GO TO MY SIDEWALK AND YOU CLICK ON PERFORMANCE MEASURES ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE.

NOW IT TAKES YOU HERE.

YOU CLICK ON THIS LOVELY GRAPHIC HERE.

AND VOILA, IT TAKES YOU TO THIS PAGE, THE FIRST PAGE OF THE DASHBOARD ESSENTIALLY TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE BROWARD MPO.

WHAT IS IT? WHAT WE DO? IT GOES DOWN AND TALKS ABOUT PERFORMANCE MEASURES A LITTLE BIT, GIVES A LITTLE BIT SOME STATS ABOUT BROWARD POPULATION, NUMBER OF JOBS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, POPULATION GROWTH.

AND [INAUDIBLE] HERE TALKS ABOUT HOW THE BROWARD MPO IS GOVERNED AND I'LL MOVE YOUR ATTENTION ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE HERE.

YOU SEE THE SCORECARD NOW, THIS IS A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO KNOW WHERE EXACTLY WHERE WE ARE AS FAR AS PERFORMANCE MEASURES, BECAUSE IT JUST GIVES YOU THE NUMBERS YOU CLICK ON THERE. IT WILL TAKE YOU HERE, SCORECARD, SAFETY, WHICH IS A PERFORMANCE MEASURE ONE, AND IT TELLS YOU HOW WE'RE DOING.

NOW, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE A VISION ZERO GOAL.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE NOT MEETING THAT GOAL.

BUT YOU CAN SEE ON THE FAR RIGHT HOW WE'RE TRENDING.

RIGHT. THE CRASHES IN THE FATAL CRASHES WERE SORT OF NOT TRENDING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION, BUT SERIOUS INJURIES AND SERIOUS INJURY RATES PER 100 MILLION VEHICLES MILE TRAVELS WE'RE TRENDING IN THE RIGHT WAY AND THE NON MOTORIZED FATALITIES AND SERIOUS INJURIES, WE ARE TRENDING IN A GOOD DIRECTION IN THAT.

SO WE'RE GOING DOWN.

THE OTHER PERFORMANCE MEASURES ON THE PM2 WHICH IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITION.

ESSENTIALLY WHAT THAT IS, IS PAVEMENT CONDITIONS AND BRIDGE CONDITIONS.

[00:05:03]

SO LAST TIME WE SET TARGETS OF THOSE WAS LIKE THREE AND A HALF, THREE YEARS AGO.

SO WE'LL BE SETTING NEW TARGETS FAIRLY SOON HERE.

AND AGAIN, YOU SEE HOW WE'RE TRENDING HERE, RIGHT? EVERYTHING IS GOOD EXCEPT FOR THE NON INTERSTATE PAVEMENT CONDITIONS THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION. SYSTEM RELIABILITY, THAT'S MORE ABOUT HOW RELIABLE IS YOUR PERSON'S TRAVEL ON EITHER THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM OR THE NON-INTERSTATE SYSTEM.

AND AGAIN, HERE YOU SEE, WE'RE DOING WELL; WE'RE DOING OK.

AT LEAST HERE ON [INAUDIBLE] RELIABILITY, WE'RE MAINTAINING.

TRENDS IN ASSET MANAGEMENT, AGAIN, DOING WELL AND A NEW ONE, WHICH IS THE PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AGENCY SAFETY PLAN, ESSENTIALLY TRANSIT SAFETY TARGETS, WE DON'T HAVE A TREND LINE YET BECAUSE THIS YEAR WAS THE FIRST TIME WE ACTUALLY SET TARGETS ON THAT ONE.

SO, AGAIN, THIS IS JUST A QUICK AND DIRTY SCORECARD.

AND IF YOU WANT TO GO IN-DEPTH, YOU WILL CLICK ON, LET'S SAY, SAFETY.

NOW I'LL TAKE YOU TO THIS LOVELY PAGE, AND AGAIN, IT TALKS ABOUT SAFETY.

IT HAS A HEAT MAP OF CRASHES IN BROWARD FOR THE LAST FIVE YEAR PERIOD, ESSENTIALLY BETWEEN TWENTY FIFTEEN AND TWENTY NINETEEN.

AND IF YOU CLICK ON HERE, WE DEVELOP A HIGH INJURY NETWORK, ESSENTIALLY WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF CRASHES HAPPENING, SERIOUS INJURIES AND CRASHES AND FATALITIES, THOSE THINGS.

NOW, THIS IS THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK IN BROWARD, ESSENTIALLY FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS, BETWEEN TWENTY FIFTEEN AND TWENTY NINETEEN.

AND IF YOU CLICK ON THIS THIRD ONE HERE, IT GOES INTO THE ONES THAT HAVE HIGH INJURY, YOU KNOW, THAT HAVE FIVE OR MORE CRASHES, THOSE ACTUAL SEGMENTS THEMSELVES YOU CAN DRILL DOWN AND ACTUALLY SEE WHERE THEY ARE.

NOW, ONE OF THE REALLY GOOD THINGS ABOUT THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE? DASHBOARD IS IF YOU CLICK THIS LITTLE ICON HERE, LITTLE BLUE ICON, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE INFORMATION THAT IS ON THE DASHBOARD EITHER AS A GIS, GEOJSON OR AS AN EXCEL, AS A CSB, AND YOU COULD DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH.

YOU CAN DO YOUR OWN. AND ALSO, YOU ACTUALLY KNOW ALL THE MAPS, ALL THE DATA CAN BE DOWNLOADED. THAT'S AWESOME.

BY THE WAY, THIS MAP HERE IS FOR ALL CRASHES.

RIGHT. AND ONE OF THE REALLY COOL THINGS THAT WE DID, WE ALSO DEVELOPED A HIGH INJURY NETWORK FOR JUST BIKE AND PED, WHICH IS HERE.

SO, AGAIN, I KNOW THIS IS AN AREA OF EMPHASIS FOR US IN BROWARD, BIKE AND PED CRASHES ARE REALLY IMPORTANT AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE TRENDING THAT LYING DOWN.

SO, AGAIN, YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE ARE.

AND THEN AGAIN, THIS IS THE REALLY, REALLY HIGH SEGMENTS, YOU CAN COME IN HERE, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD THE INFORMATION AGAIN IF YOU WANT TO USE IN GIS, OR YOU COULD USE IT IN EXEL TO DO ANALYSIS.

YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ALL THAT.

NOW, THIS IS SAFETY AND WE ESSENTIALLY DO THE SAME THING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITIONS.

AGAIN, BRIDGE CONDITIONS AND PAVEMENT CONDITIONS.

AGAIN, I THINK BRIDGES ARE I KNOW I'VE HAD A LOT OF INTEREST FROM MUNICIPALITIES ASKING ABOUT WHAT KIND OF CONDITIONS THAT THEIR BRIDGES ARE IN.

YOU CAN COME IN HERE, YOU COULD DOWNLOAD THIS INFORMATION AS WELL.

CLICK ON THIS, WHETHER IT'S CSV OR GIS, DOWNLOAD IT, YOU KNOW, AND CHECK HOW THE BRIDGES IN YOUR CITY ARE DOING. AGAIN, WE HAVE ALL THE METRICS HERE.

AGAIN, ALL THE THINGS THAT YOU SAW IN THE SCORECARD, THEY'RE HERE, IT'S JUST MORE IN-DEPTH INFORMATION HERE.

IN PAVEMENT CONDITIONS, YOU SEE GREEN IS GOOD, YELLOW IS FAIR, RED IS POOR AND [INAUDIBLE]. ONE OF THE COOL THINGS ABOUT THIS TALK ABOUT THESE THESE GRAPHS HERE AS WELL, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH THE DASHBOARD, WHAT WE DO, WE TRY TO, SINCE WE ARE IN 1TMA MIAMI-DADE AND PALM BEACH.

WE TRY TO WHATEVER METRICS WE HAVE, WHICH YOU TRY TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE COMPARING OURSELVES WITH OUR NEIGHBORS TO THE NORTH AND TO THE SOUTH.

WELL, IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO THAT, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU CAN DO IS CLICK HERE.

AND CLICK HERE AND YOU CAN JUST SEE BROWARD, RIGHT? AND THEN YOU CLICK IT BACK AND IT BRINGS OUR FRIENDS BACK SO AGAIN AND SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, SAME DEAL.

YOU HAVE THE INFORMATION HERE FOR YOU TO SEE AGAIN.

ALL INFORMATION YOU SEE HERE CAN BE DOWNLOADED BY CLICKING ON THIS AND SOME OF THESE GRAPHS AND BARS, YOU CAN ALSO DOWNLOAD AS A PNG SO YOU CAN TAKE THIS INSERTED INTO A PRESENTATION. YOU'RE OFF AND RUNNING.

WE ALSO HAVE TRENDS IN ASSET MANAGEMENT AND ALL INFORMATION CAN BE CLICKED ON AND

[00:10:07]

ALL THE INFORMATION YOU SEE HERE IS THE SAME INFORMATION THAT AS PART OF THE SCORECARD, BUT AGAIN, MORE IN-DEPTH INFORMATION FOR TRI-RAIL AND BCT AND HERE, OBVIOUSLY, AND THEN AGAIN, THE TRANSIT SAFETY, ALL THE NEW INFORMATION FOR THIS.

NOW HERE, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE ANYTHING THAT YOU COULD CLICK AND DOWNLOAD BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY, IT'S FIRST YEAR.

WE DON'T HAVE ANY PRECEDING INFORMATION.

SO WITH THAT, THAT'S ALL I HAVE.

IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE THEM.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR PAUL? THIS INFORMATION IS FANTASTIC.

GREAT JOB. WE'RE HERE TO SERVE.

PAUL HAD SHARED EARLIER THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE LOOKING AT IT TWICE A DAY, JUST KEEPING UP TO DATE ON THE DATA.

THREE TIMES ON THE WEEKEND.

YES, SIR, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, PAUL.

VERY WELCOME, MADAM CHAIR.

SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NEXT NON-ACTION ITEM, WHICH IS UPDATE ON MOBILITY HUBS AND

[3. Mobility Hubs/Complete Streets and other Localized Initiatives Program (CSLIP) Program Updates and Introduction of Evaluation Criteria]

HI, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, THIS IS KERRIE MCNEIL.

CAN EVERYBODY HEAR ME OK? YES, WE CAN. AWESOME.

OK, SO GOOD AFTERNOON.

TODAY, WE ARE GOING TO BE GOING OVER THE CSLIP AND MOBILITY HUBS PROGRAM UPDATES.

THIS WILL BE A JOINT PRESENTATION.

IT WILL BE MYSELF AND CHADWICK BLUE.

OK, SO WHY ARE WE HERE? WE'RE HERE TO GO OVER THE UPDATES TO BOTH PROGRAMS, CSLIP [INAUDIBLE] COMPLETE STREETS AND OTHER LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM.

I WILL BE MANAGING THIS PROGRAM.

I'M SURE YOU ALL KNOW CONOR CAMPOBASSO, HE RAN THE PROGRAM FOR MANY YEARS.

HE HAS LEFT THE MPO AND GONE ON TO OTHER OTHER ENDEAVORS.

SO I AM HERE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE ON THE NEW POINT OF CONTACT.

SO I WILL JUST KEEP GOING.

AND THE MAIN POINT TODAY IS TO SHARE THE DRAFT OR THE PROPOSED EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR BOTH THE CSLIP AND MOBILITY HUBS, APPLICATION PROCESSES, AND, OF COURSE, GATHER YOUR INPUT AND COMMENTS BEFORE SEEKING ADOPTION.

SO WE WILL SEE THIS ITEM AGAIN.

IT WILL COME BACK IN JUNE, THE EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR BOTH CSLIP AND THE HUBS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

ALL RIGHT, SO TO RECAP, THE MPO'S MISSION IS TO COLLABORATIVELY PLAN, PRIORITIZE AND FUND THE DELIVERY OF DIVERSE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS, AND CSLIP'S MISSION IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR SMALL LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS WHICH IMPROVE THE SAFETY OF MOBILITY FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION USERS IN BROWARD.

SO IT IS A COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM THAT OFFERS OPPORTUNITIES FOR FEDERAL FUNDING.

WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS CSLIP FUNDS? PROJECTS SUCH AS COMPLETE STREETS PROJECTS.

SO THAT'S BIKE LANE, SIDEWALKS, ETC..

SAFETY AND SECURITY PROJECTS, WHICH CAN INCLUDE TRAFFIC CALMING, INTERSECTION RECONFIGURATION, SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES WHICH COULD INCLUDE MOBILITY HUBS AND GREENWAYS AND TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS, THINGS LIKE ITS INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND TRANSIT SIGNAL PRIORITY AND TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES.

THANK YOU SO PROJECTS TO DATE.

JUST A QUICK RECAP OF THE PREVIOUS CYCLES.

CYCLE ONE 18 PROJECTS WERE AWARDED OVER 10 DIFFERENT AGENCIES AT A TOTAL OF THIRTY SIX AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS.

CYCLE 2, 12 PROJECTS AWARDED TO 10 AGENCIES FOR THIRTY THREE MILLION DOLLARS.

AND CYCLE THREE 15 PROJECTS WERE AWARDED TO 13 AGENCIES FOR THIRTY ONE POINT NINE MILLION DOLLARS. AND JUST A QUICK MENTION THAT CYCLE 4 PRIORITY LIST HAS BEEN APPROVED AND THE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN VETTED.

AND THEN CYCLE FIVE, PROJECTS ARE IN THE VETTING PROCESS.

OK, THE CSLIP PROCESS, I'LL TRY TO GO THROUGH THIS RATHER QUICKLY, BUT WE'LL HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AT THE END, IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, WE'D BE HAPPY TO GO BACK.

SO APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT, AT THIS STAGE, THE APPLICANT WILL HAVE A PRE APPLICATION MEETING WITH THE MPO AND THE MPO OFFERS A WORKSHOP EVERY CYCLE, AND THEN, OF COURSE,

[00:15:01]

I BELIEVE THE MINIMUM TIME FRAME ALLOWED IS SIX WEEKS FOR THAT APPLICATION SUBMISSION WINDOW. AND THE EVALUATION RANKING FIRST AN INITIAL ELIGIBILITY CHECK IS RAN AND THEN THE EVALUATION RANKING OCCURS AND FURTHER DETAILS CAN BE FOUND ON THE CSLIP POLICIES.

AND THEN THE BOARD WILL APPROVE, THE MPO BOARD WILL APPROVE THE TENTATIVE RANKED LIST OF PROJECTS AND THEN THE PROJECT VETTING PROCESS BEGINS AND THEN, OF COURSE, PROGRAMMING.

AND THEN AFTER PROJECT PROGRAMMING, THE MPO BOARD WILL APPROVE FUNDED PROJECTS AND THOSE ARE APPROVED WITH [INAUDIBLE] PROGRAM.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT, CSLIP POLICIES, SO JUST HAVE A COPY HERE OF THE MOST UP TO DATE POLICIES THAT ARE ON THE WEBPAGE AS OF JUNE 2020.

THE POLICIES, A COUPLE OF THINGS TO POINT OUT IS THERE'S A THREE MILLION DOLLAR CAP ON THE CONSTRUCTION COSTS FOR THE PROJECTS.

THE POLICIES GO OVER THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION.

INCLUDED IN THAT IS PUBLIC OUTREACH AND RESOLUTIONS OF SUPPORT, MANDATORY MEETINGS ARE REQUIRED WITH THE APPLICANT TO MEET WITH THE MPO STAFF PRIOR TO APPLICATION SUBMITTAL AND THE EVALUATION RANKING CRITERIA, THE POLICY SPEAK TO THE WEIGHTING OF THE DIFFERENT CRITERIA. AND WE WILL LOOK AT REVISING OR UPDATING THESE POLICIES AS WE GO THROUGH REVISING THE EVALUATION CRITERIA.

SO IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT NEEDS TO BE UPDATED, WE WILL TAKE A LOOK AT THIS AND WE'LL BRING IT TO YOU. NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

OK, PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS, ALWAYS LOOKING TO IMPROVE, I THINK DEVELOPING BRANDING, HOST WEBPAGES, INTERNALIZING THE CSLIP APPLICATION, IT WILL STILL BE AN ONLINE FILLABLE APPLICATION AND THEN THE IN-HOUSE EVALUATION TOOL.

SO THE MPO HAS A INTERNAL STAFF WHO'S WORKING ON A PROGRAM EVALUATION TOOL WHICH WILL EVALUATE NOT JUST CSLIP PROJECTS, BUT OTHERS AS WELL.

SO WORKING TO IMPROVE COORDINATION WITH THE PROGRAM EVALUATION TOOL.

AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO SEE CONSISTENCY AMONG THE VARIOUS MPO PROGRAMS. SO I WILL GO A LITTLE BIT MORE INTO WHAT WE'RE GOING TO PLUG INTO THE TOOL IN A MINUTE.

SO NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

OK, SO WE ARE LIKE I SAID, WE ARE PROPOSING MODIFICATIONS TO THE EXISTING CSLIP SCORING CRITERIA TO BRING THEM IN LINE WITH THE SIX CRITERIA FOR PROJECT PRIORITIZATION FROM THE TWENTY FORTY FIVE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, OR MTP 2045.

AND THESE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS ALSO INCORPORATE LESSONS LEARNED AND UPDATE OLDER DATA SETS USING THE EVALUATION TOOL.

SO HAVE SOME LESSONS LEARNED THAT LEFT US WITH AND LOOKING TO IMPROVE.

SO, NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT, THE CURRENT THEMES FIRST CSLIP IN THE CURRENT EVALUATION CRITERIA ARE SAFETY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, CONNECTIVITY AND MOBILITY.

AND SO WE ARE MERGING THESE WITH THE MTP THEMES, WHICH ARE MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, SAFETY, EQUITY, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND ECONOMIC VITALITY.

AND THE NEXT SLIDE WE'LL GO INTO THE PROPOSED DRAFT CRITERIA.

ONCE AGAIN, THIS IS THE CRITERIA AND THE DATA THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT AND THE PROPOSED WEIGHTING OF THIS CRITERIA THAT WE ARE EXPLORING.

SO THIS IS DRAFT AND WE WILL COME BACK TO YOU NEXT MEETING IN JUNE WITH MORE DETAIL.

BUT WHAT WE WANT TO PRESENT TO NOW, WE HAVE UNDER THEME OF SAFETY, LOOKING AT CRASH DATA FOR VEHICULAR AND NON-VEHICULAR BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN AND LOOKING AT EXPLORING USING THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK DATA THAT FLAVIEN JUST WENT OVER IN HIS PRESENTATION.

SO AGAIN, THAT IS SERIOUS CRASHES THAT RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR FATALITIES.

AND THERE IS A HIGH PRIORITY WEIGHT TO THAT CRITERIA.

ACCESSIBILITY, LOOKING AT LOCAL ACTIVITY CENTERS SUCH AS COUNTY LIBRARIES, HOSPITALS, LOCAL LIBRARIES AND CITY HALLS, MPO MOBILITY HUBS AND ACTIVITY CENTERS, SPECIFICALLY THE

[00:20:01]

CONNECTION TO EXISTING FACILITIES, TRANSIT STOP LOCATIONS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, PARKS, COLLEGES, UNIVERSITIES, AND ALSO LOOKING AT POPULATION DENSITY.

AND THAT ALSO HAS A HIGH WEIGHT.

EQUITY, LOOKING AT THE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING EQUITY ASSESSMENT, WHICH IS A PREVIOUS STUDY AND SET OF DATA THAT THE MPO HAS PRODUCED, LOOKING AT THE COMPOSITE SCORE, WHICH IS KIND OF THE OVERALL SCORE, AND ALSO LOOKING AT THE ZERO CAR HOUSEHOLDS.

SO THAT IS GOING INTO THE MEDIUM WEIGHT HERE.

AND THEN SECOND, [INAUDIBLE] IN THE MEDIUM WEIGHT IS MOBILITY, LOOKING AT TRAFFIC DATA TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND LEVEL OF SERVICE, SO WE'RE FOCUSED ON CONGESTION AND VOLUMES.

AND THEN THE LAST TWO ECONOMIC VITALITY, LOOKING AT THE REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTERS OR THE MTP ACTIVITY CENTERS FOR CSLIP, SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT MOBILITY HUBS, COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREAS, OR CIAS AND THE BROWARD NEXT ACTIVITY CENTERS AND THEN ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP.

YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE DATA USED IN BROWARD MPO'S EXTREME WEATHER AND CLIMATE CHANGE RISK TO THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM IN BROWARD COUNTY.

THAT'S A REPORT THAT WAS PRODUCED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DATA FOR THE VULNERABILITY OF REGIONAL ROADWAYS IN BROWARD COUNTY.

THEY HAVE RATINGS, DIFFERENT TIERS ASSIGNED TO THEM.

SO AND I'LL NOTE AT THE BOTTOM THE SPONSOR READINESS.

THAT'S SOMETHING TO BE DETERMINED.

STILL WORKING ON THAT. BUT IT WILL BE AN ADDITIONAL CRITERIA TO MEASURE THE ABILITY AND COMMITMENT OF LOCAL AGENCIES TO DELIVER PROJECTS.

AND I WILL HAND IT OVER TO MR. BLUE, CHADWICK. HE WILL LEAD THE REST OF THE PRESENTATION.

GREAT. WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH, KERRIE.

GOOD AFTERNOON, MADAM CHAIR, MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.

MY NAME IS CHADRICK BLUE.

I'M A PROJECT COORDINATION MANAGER HERE AT THE BROWARD MPO.

BUT FOR ALL PRACTICAL PURPOSES, JUST THINK OF ME AS THE MOBILITY HUBS GUY RIGHT NOW.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. ALL RIGHT, SO WHAT I WANT TO TALK ABOUT TODAY IS, FIRST OF ALL, WHAT A MOBILITY HUB IS, BUT ALSO REAL QUICK, THE FACT THAT WE HAVE A MOBILITY HUBS PROGRAM HERE AT THE MPO, BUT WE'RE LOOKING TO TURN IT INTO MORE OF A COMPETITIVE ANNUAL PROCESS LIKE CSLIP. SO IF ALL THE MEMBERS ARE FAMILIAR WITH CSLIP OR [INAUDIBLE] SOME OF THE OTHER PROGRAMS THAT WE HAVE HERE AT THE MPO, AGAIN, WE'RE TRYING TO MIRROR THE SUCCESS AND TURN THIS INTO AN ANNUAL PROCESS.

SO WITH THAT, FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT A MOBILITY HUB IS.

WHEN WE ARE TRYING TO IDENTIFY MOBILITY HUB LOCATIONS.

WE LOOK AT EXISTING TRANSIT ACCESS POINTS.

NOW, THAT'S JUST A FANCY WAY OF SAYING WE'RE LOOKING FOR AN AREA WITH A CONCENTRATION OF TRANSIT ACTIVITIES.

THAT INCLUDES HIGH TRIP GENERATION, HIGH TRANSFER RATES AND ALSO IN AREAS OF HIGH ECONOMIC REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL.

NEXT SLIDE. OK, SO HERE IS A PICTURE OF DOWNTOWN FORT LAUDERDALE.

THIS IS NORTHWEST SECOND STREET.

AND, YOU KNOW, IT'S A NICE STREET, YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAD A MONSTER TRUCK OR IF YOU DRIVE MAYBE A 20 FOOT LINCOLN TOWN CAR, BUT YOU CAN SEE FROM LOOKING AT THIS THE STREET ENTIRELY WAS DESIGNED FOR VEHICLES.

AT THE TIME IT WAS CREATED, PEDESTRIANS, YOU KNOW, IT WASN'T REALLY THE THOUGHT THAT EVERYONE WAS GOING TO BE BIKING AND WALKING AROUND.

NEXT SLIDE. SO THIS IS A RECENTLY COMPLETED DOWNTOWN FORT LAUDERDALE MOBILITY PROJECT, SO YOU CAN SEE WHAT WE'VE DONE HERE.

WE'VE TAKEN THAT FOUR LANE DEAD END.

YOU DON'T NEED FOUR LANES TO GO TO THE DEAD END THERE.

SO WE'VE SHRUNKEN THAT DOWN.

WE'VE RECLAIMED SOME OF THE STREET.

WE'VE INCLUDED BUFFER BICYCLE LANES.

CONSTANTLY, THAT'S THE THING THAT THE CITY HAS COME TO US ASKING FOR PROTECTED BICYCLE LANES OF SOME TYPE BECAUSE PEOPLE FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE FOR OBVIOUS REASONS.

AND ALSO, YOU'LL SEE GAPS ON THE SIDEWALK WERE FILLED IN, THE LANDSCAPING WAS ADDED ALONG WITH PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING, AND THIS AREA IN PARTICULAR WAS RIPE FOR THIS, BECAUSE YOU HAVE POTENTIALLY THE TRI-RAIL COASTAL LINK STATION COMING INTO THIS AREA.

BUT YOU YOU HAVE BRIGHTLINE ALREADY THERE.

YOU HAVE THE TMA SEND TROLLEYS, YOU'VE GOT ALL THE SCOOTERS, THE DOWNTOWN INTERSECTING IN THIS AREA, DEPENDING ON WHAT MONTH IT IS, IF THOSE ARE ALLOWED OR NOT.

BUT AND THEN ALSO, OF COURSE, THE BROWARD COUNTY CENTRAL BUS TERMINAL RIGHT THERE.

[00:25:03]

ALSO KNOWING AT THE SAME TIME THAT THERE ARE EMPTY PARCELS AND THE SURROUNDING AREA THAT WILL ABSOLUTELY BE DEVELOPED WITHIN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS OR SO.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF SOME OF THE PLANS AND PROJECTS THAT THE MPO HAS CURRENTLY GOING ON; THIS IS THE LIST.

SO, AS I MENTIONED, FORT LAUDERDALE, THAT WAS OUR FIRST MOBILITY HUB.

THAT WAS THE BABY. AND WE JUST FINISHED CONSTRUCTION LAST MONTH ON THAT, SUBSTANTIAL CONSTRUCTION. SO WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

THEN, WE ALSO HAVE PLANS FOR CYPRESS CREEK.

THERE'LL BE SOME IMPROVEMENTS AROUND THE MPO OFFICE AND HOLLYWOOD AT [INAUDIBLE] 7 AND 84. THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD WITH SOME MOBILITY HUB WORK.

THEY'LL BE LOOKING TO GO INTO PROCUREMENT, HOPEFULLY LATE THIS FALL.

AND THEN PEMBROKE PINES HAVE JUST COMPLETED A MOBILITY HUBS MASTER PLAN IDENTIFIED SOME SHELTER IMPROVEMENTS ON PINES BOULEVARD, ALONG WITH SOME MULTIUSE PASS AND SOME ADDITIONAL PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS.

AND THEN CORAL SPRINGS, JUST FINISHED A MOBILITY HUB MASTER PLAN THAT, YOU KNOW, GAVE THE CITY A LOT TO THINK ABOUT.

THEY'RE DEALING WITH SOME DEVELOPMENTS TAKING PLACE AROUND THEIR CITY HALL RIGHT NOW.

SO AT THIS MOMENT, THE TIMING DIDN'T SEEM QUITE RIGHT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH SOME OF THOSE IMPROVEMENTS. BUT, AS I MENTIONED, THEY HAVE A COMPLETED MOBILITY HUB MASTER PLAN THAT GIVES THEM GUIDANCE ONCE CERTAIN THINGS COME ONLINE FOR THEM.

AND THE SAME FOR PLANTATION SUNRISE.

THEY HAD RECENTLY COMPLETED MOBILITY HUB MASTER PLANS WITH BOTH OF THOSE MUNICIPALITIES.

CAN YOU GO BACK ONE? AND THEN I'M SORRY, THIS PHOTO RIGHT HERE, THESE ARE SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT WILL BE GOING INTO THE HOLLYWOOD, AS I MENTIONED, [INAUDIBLE] SEVEN EIGHTY FOUR.

THEY'LL BE GETTING NEW SHELTERS AND FDOT HAS ALREADY I CAN'T TAKE CREDIT FOR THE BICYCLE LANES. FDOT IS PUTTING THOSE IN THEMSELVES.

BUT YOU CAN SEE HOW WE'RE TRYING TO TIE IN THESE VARIOUS TRANSIT IMPROVEMENTS THAT ARE HAPPENING BY OTHER AGENCIES.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND SO THIS SLIDE SHOWS KIND OF TYPICALLY WHAT HAPPENS WHEN WE DO A MOBILITY HUB MASTER PLAN, AND SO IT STARTS OFF WITH THIS THING CALLED PLANNING FRAMEWORK.

ESSENTIALLY THE MPO THIS IS AN EFFORT THAT'S LED THROUGH THE MPO WITH THE PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITIES. WE HIRE A SUBCONSULTANT.

IN THE PAST WE USED HTTB AND WHAT THEY WERE ABLE TO DO IS, AS I MENTIONED, THEY DO A PLANNING FRAMEWORK. SO THEY LOOK AT THE ENTIRE EXISTING CONTEXT OF THE STUDY AREA THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT. THEY GATHER ALL THE PLANS, ALL THE TRANSIT PLANS, ANYTHING THEIR CRAS HAVE BEEN DOING. WE TRIED TO LEAVE NO STONE UNTURNED TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE THEY ARE AND SORT OF WHERE THEY'RE GOING.

AND AS PART OF THAT ALSO COMES A MARKET ANALYSIS.

AND MANY TIMES THAT INCLUDES VALUE CAPTURE.

WE'RE ABLE TO FIND SOME LOW HANGING FRUIT FOR THIS CITY, BUT ALSO SOME LONG TERM GOALS.

AND AS PART OF THIS, THERE'S A LOT OF OUTREACH THAT'S DONE.

SO TYPICALLY WE DO ONLINE SURVEYS AND THEN WE GO OUT IN PERSON WITH IPADS AND SUCH AND TRY AND REALLY CONNECT WITH THE TRANSIT RIDERS BECAUSE AS TRANSPORTATION PLANNERS, WE CAN SIT HERE ALL DAY AND KIND OF, YOU KNOW, COME UP WITH SUGGESTIONS AND THINGS TO DO.

BUT IF YOU'RE NOT REALLY TALKING TO WHO'S ACTUALLY RIDING THE BUSSES AND FINDING OUT WHAT THEY WANT, YOU'RE MISSING A BIG PART OF THE EQUATION.

SO AFTER THE PLANNING FRAMEWORK, THAT LEADS US INTO THE MASTER PLAN, WHICH GIVES US OUR DESIGN CONCEPTS AND THE PRETTY PICTURES AND RENDERINGS EVERYONE'S ALWAYS HAPPY TO SEE.

AND AS PART OF THAT, YOU KNOW, WE PUT TOGETHER AN IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY TO OUTLINE HOW THE CITY OR THE MUNICIPALITY CAN ACHIEVE THE VISION THAT'S OUTLINED IN THE MOBILITY MASTER PLAN. AND ALSO PART OF THIS IS OBTAINING NEPA CLEARANCE, WHICH ISN'T ALWAYS VERY FUN, BUT IT IS NEEDED WHEN USING FEDERAL FUNDS.

AND SO ONCE THAT'S COMPLETED, THEN WE GET TO MOVE INTO 30 PERCENT DESIGN, WHERE WE START TO RESEARCH ALL THE PERMITTING THAT THE CITY WILL NEED TO UNDERTAKE IN ORDER TO LEAD THE CONSTRUCTION EFFORTS IF ANY TRAFFIC STUDIES ARE NEEDED.

AND OF COURSE, THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS FINALLY TO GENERATE COST ESTIMATES.

ONCE THAT'S DONE, WE MOVE TO THE NEXT PHASE, WHICH IS THE FINAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION.

AND THIS IS WHERE YOU SEE SORT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK GOING ON, SUCH AS THE SUBDISCIPLINE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE MUNICIPALITY AND THE MPO, OUTLINING EACH AGENCY'S ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FROM THE INCEPTION OF THE PROJECT TO THE COMPLETION.

AND ALSO AS PART OF THIS, BECAUSE THE MOBILITY HUB FUNDS USED FTA 5307 FUNDS.

THE MPO STAFF IS REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION IN TRAMS, WHICH IS THE TRANSIT AWARD

[00:30:02]

WE FILL OUT AN APPLICATION, THEY REVIEW IT, AND ONCE THEY HAVE, YOU KNOW, RUBBER STAMP THAT OR APPROVED IT, THAT'S WHEN THE FUNDS THEN BECOME AVAILABLE FOR THE CITY TO DRAW DOWN ON. AND THEN THAT LEADS US TO THE LAST STEP, WHICH IS THE PROJECT COMPLETION.

IT'S NEVER REALLY OVER EVER, YOU KNOW, IN LIFE.

AND SO EVEN WHEN THE PROJECT'S DONE, THE MUNICIPALITIES ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING WHATEVER ASSETS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED FOR THEIR USEFUL LIFE.

AND BESIDES, YOU KNOW WHAT I MENTIONED ABOUT THE USEFUL LIFE.

THERE'S ALSO A NATIONAL TRANSPORTATION DATABASE REPORTING THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ANNUALLY.

SO THERE'S JUST A FEW LOOSE ENDS TO ALWAYS BE MINDFUL OF.

AND THEN BELOW THAT, YOU CAN SEE, OF COURSE, THE MUNICIPALITIES THAT I MENTIONED, YOU CAN SEE WHERE THEY'VE ALL SORT OF FALLEN CURRENTLY, WHERE THEY ARE IN THEIR STAGE OF THE MOBILITY HUB DEVELOPMENT.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. SO THIS IS YOU KNOW, YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH THIS SLIDE FROM KERRIE MCNEIL'S PRESENTATION EARLIER, BUT FOR THE MOBILITY HUBS, WHAT WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT IS MARKET READINESS, NETWORK READINESS AND SPONSOR READINESS.

AND SO THOSE ARE THE THREE THINGS THAT THEN WE BREAK DOWN OUR DATA SETS INTO.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE ON THE RIGHT HAND SIDE, AS KERRIE HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, WE ALSO TRY TO TIE THEM INTO THE EXISTING MTP THEMES THAT WERE DEVELOPED BY MPO STAFF.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT EQUITY, ACCESSIBILITY, ECONOMIC VITALITY, MOBILITY, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

OK, NOW THIS IS WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD HERE.

THIS IS WHAT WE ARE PLANNING ON RANKING THE APPLICATIONS THAT COME IN BASED ON.

AND SOME OF YOU MAY BE SORT OF SCRATCHING YOUR HEADS A LITTLE BIT, MAY BE TOO POLITE TO EVEN ASK IT, SINCE WE HAVEN'T OPENED UP TO QUESTIONS.

BUT YOU MAY BE WONDERING WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CSLIP AND HUBS? BECAUSE THEY KIND OF AND MAYBE THEY SOUND A LITTLE BIT LIKE THE SAME THING.

THEY'RE SIMILAR IN CERTAIN WAYS, BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT IN WAYS.

AND SO WHILE CSLIP IS INTERESTED IN ACCESS TO TRANSIT, YOU KNOW, THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THOSE MISSING SIDEWALKS ARE PUT INTO PLACE.

AND ANY MISSING BICYCLE LANE THAT'S NOT CONNECTING TO ANOTHER FACILITY, THEY'RE INTERESTED IN THAT. WHILE THE HUBS, OUR MAIN FOCUS IS ON MOBILITY AND THE EXISTING TRANSIT ROUTES, YOU KNOW, AS I MENTIONED WITH FORT LAUDERDALE, WE WANTED TO BRING ALL OF THE TRANSIT OPTIONS THAT ARE FLOATING AROUND, KIND OF INDEPENDENT TOGETHER IN A WAY.

AND SO GOING BACK TO THIS SHEET THAT YOU SEE HERE, THIS IS HOW WE ARE ANTICIPATING OR THINKING AT THIS POINT HOW WE'D LIKE TO WRITE THE APPLICATIONS THAT WILL BE RECEIVING SOMETIME LATER ON THIS SUMMER WHEN WE OPEN THIS PROGRAM UP.

SO STARTING FROM THE TOP, YOU CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, WE'VE GOT THE MARKET READINESS.

WE'VE GOT EQUITY, ACCESSIBILITY AND ECONOMIC VITALITY IN THERE.

AND SO EQUITY, WE THOUGHT THAT WAS REALLY HIGH FOR US BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE INVESTMENT THAT WE'RE DOING IS IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE SERVING THE RIGHT COMMUNITY.

SO, FOR INSTANCE, YOU KNOW WHAT WOULD WORK, MAYBE, I'M GOING TO PICK ON FORT LAUDERDALE A LITTLE BIT, BUT WORK ON RIO VISTA, YOU KNOW, IS NOT THE SAME THING THAT WE WOULD DO IN SISTRUNK OR ANOTHER NEIGHBORHOOD LIKE THAT.

SO WE WANT TO BE REALLY MINDFUL.

AND AGAIN, WE'RE GOING BACK TO THE TOOLS THAT THE MPO HAS ALREADY ESTABLISHED THROUGH THEIR PLANNING AND EQUITY ASSESSMENT COMPOSITE SCORE TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE. AND THEN YOU MOVE DOWN THE LIST.

AND SO WE HAVE THAT AS RANKED HIGH AND THEN YOU MOVE DOWN THE LIST AND YOU HAVE ACCESSIBILITY. AND I WON'T READ ALL OF THOSE TO YOU, EVERYONE CAN SEE THE SCREEN HERE.

BUT, YOU KNOW, WE'RE INTERESTED IN YOUR CLOSE PROXIMITY TO UNIVERSITIES, SCHOOLS, COLLEGES. AND THEN BELOW THAT, THE ECONOMIC VITALITY IS THE SAME THING.

WE DON'T WANT TO PUT A HUB SOMEWHERE WHERE THERE'S NOTHING REALLY AROUND.

YOU KNOW, IT MAKES SENSE TO HAVE IT WHERE THERE'S ACTIVITY AN ACTIVITY CENTER.

AND I'M SURE, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE UNDERSTANDS THAT.

I DON'T NEED TO BELABOR THAT POINT.

AND THEN BELOW THAT, I THINK IT'S INTO THE NETWORK READINESS.

SO YOU HAVE YOUR MOBILITY, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARD.

AGAIN, WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE EXISTING TRANSIT ROUTES.

THAT'S WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT.

WE'RE LOOKING AT COMMUNITY SHUTTLE ROUTES.

WE'RE LOOKING AT TRI-RAIL, ANYTHING THAT'S THERE NOW.

IN THE PAST, THERE'S A TENDENCY SOMETIMES TO LOOK AT PROMISE SERVICE OR THINGS THAT ARE LIKE COMING DOWN THE PIPELINE.

BUT INTERNALLY, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT AND WE WANT TO SORT OF MOVE AWAY FROM THAT.

WE WANT TO CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE PROMISED SERVICES THAT THE CITIES ARE UNDERTAKING.

BUT WE DON'T WANT TO PUT ALL OF OUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET IN CASE THEY DON'T HAPPEN.

SO, AGAIN, WE REALLY FOCUS ON THE PRESENT AND THE NOW.

AND OF COURSE, SAFETY, BIG THING.

[00:35:01]

SO WE ARE LOOKING AT CRASH DATA, SIGNAL FOUR DATA, HIGH INJURY NETWORK TO KIND OF FIGURE OUT WHERE THE PROBLEM AREAS ARE AND HOW WE CAN ADDRESS AND ALLEVIATE SOME SAFETY CONCERNS. AND LASTLY OR SECOND TO LAST IS ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP.

IT'S NOT A GOOD IDEA TO PUT A MOBILITY HUB RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A FLOODPLAIN.

SO WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT.

AND SO AS KERRIE HAD MENTIONED EARLIER, WE HAVE A SERIES OF DATA SETS THAT WILL ALLOW US TO LOOK AT CORRIDORS THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND WHERE WE CAN WE WILL CERTAINLY ADDRESS THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MOBILITY CONSTRUCTION.

WE'RE ABLE TO DO SOME SOME CLIMATE MITIGATION A LITTLE BIT, BUT WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE NOT BUILDING ON A SINKING ISLAND, IF YOU WILL.

AND THE LAST POINT, THE BOTTOM, THE SPONSOR READINESS.

THIS IS AN IMPORTANT COMPONENT, BUT WE'RE STILL FLESHING OUT ALL THE DETAILS, BUT AT THIS POINT, WE'RE LOOKING KIND OF THAT, YOU KNOW, PAST MPO PROJECT DELIVERY WITH MUNICIPALITIES. HAS THERE BEEN ANY PROBLEMS IN THE PAST WITH CERTAIN PROJECTS? IT'S A SENSITIVE SUBJECT BECAUSE TRUST ME, IDEAL AND TEAM TYPE ACTIVITIES.

IT'S NEVER JUST ME DOING SOMETHING.

AND SO A LOT OF TIMES YOU'LL HAVE A PROBLEM IN A PROJECT, BUT IT'S NOT REALLY THE CITY'S FAULT, EVEN THOUGH MAYBE THE CITY GETS A BAD RAP FOR IT.

SO WE'RE AWARE OF THOSE THINGS WHERE WE'RE WILLING TO WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS.

BUT WE DID WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING IN TERMS OF SPONSOR READINESS AND THAT CAN BE AS SIMPLE TOO AS ACTIVE COMMUNITY SUPPORT, OR IF THE CITIES ARE ALSO PLANNING ON PROVIDING ANY SORT OF LOCAL FUNDS OR ANY MATCHING FUNDS.

WE'LL BE WORKING OUT THE DETAILS ON THAT.

BUT WE'RE THINKING POSSIBLY AT THIS POINT THAT MIGHT BE A LOWER WEIGHTED SCORE, TOO, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT IT'S THE POTENTIAL TO KIND OF GET OUT OF CONTROL A LITTLE BIT.

AND SO WE DON'T WANT TO HURT ANY FEELINGS.

BUT AT THE SAME TIME, IT'S WE WANT TO KNOW THAT WE HAVE A WILLING PARTNER AS WELL.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE. AND SO JUST TO SORT OF WRAP THIS UP, WE'LL TALK ABOUT THE NEXT STEPS IN THIS PROCESS. OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE HERE TODAY TO GET ANY FEEDBACK THAT THE MEMBERS OF THE TAC/CAC THIS EVENING HAVE.

I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT, YOU KNOW, THE DATA SETS ARE CORRECT OR IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT, MADAM CHAIRMAN, IF YOU LOOK AT SOMETHING AND YOU SAY ABSOLUTELY NOT WITH THIS DATA SET, WELL, WE'RE HERE TO LISTEN AND TAKE IN ALL THE FEEDBACK.

AND THEN FROM THERE, WE PLAN ON DOING AN ON ACTION ITEM TO THE BOARD IN MAY AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK IN JUNE TO TAC/CAC TO TELL YOU KIND OF WHERE WERE.

WE HEARD YOU GUYS. THIS IS WHAT WERE ABLE TO DO.

AND THEN FINALLY, WE WILL PRESENT TO THE MPO BOARD FOR ADOPTION IN JULY.

AND NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO WITH THAT, THAT IS OUR CONTACT INFORMATION AND WE'RE HAPPY TO TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE OR COMMENTS AT THIS TIME.

DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS TO PROVIDE ON THIS ONE? THIS IS NICK FROM BCT, HOW ARE YOU? GOOD, HOW ARE YOU? QUICK QUESTION.

GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, KAREN.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE, NOT REALLY A QUESTION, MORE SO A COMMENT.

I JUST WANT TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT BROWARD COUNTY IS ABOUT TO BEGIN OUR TRANSIT SYSTEMS PLAN, WHICH IS GOING TO PRIORITIZE THE NEXT 30 OR SO YEARS OF OUR HIGH CAPACITY NETWORK, BRT AND RAIL.

AND SO AND I HAVE A FEELING ONCE THAT NETWORK KIND OF GETS SOLIDIFIED, YOU KNOW, IT CERTAINLY IS SOMETHING THAT COULD BE FED INTO KIND OF THIS MOBILITY HUBS.

I THINK IT WILL CRYSTALLIZE A LITTLE BETTER FUTURE PLANNING FOR MOBILITY HUBS.

ONCE WE HAVE KIND OF THAT SOLID VISION MOVING FORWARD FOR WHERE WE'RE GOING TO DO HIGH CAPACITY NETWORK. THAT'S A GREAT COMMENT.

THANK YOU, MR. [INAUDIBLE], I DO THINK THAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT FOR US TO INCLUDE AND BE MINDFUL OF AS WELL. THANK YOU.

CHADWICK, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOUR STUFF.

SO IN TERMS OF MOVING FORWARD, I KNOW WITH FORT LAUDERDALE, THE FIRST ONE, THE CITY HAD MANAGED THAT PROCESS.

BUT THEN CYPRESS CREEK, I BELIEVE, IS BEING DONE BY DOT.

DO WE KNOW WHAT THE PROCESS IS GOING TO BE MOVING FORWARD? SO, YEAH, THIS ALSO TOUCHES KIND OF ALSO ON A BIGGER THING ABOUT [INAUDIBLE] AND THE POSSIBILITY THAT THE MPO WILL HAVE THIS DELIVERY PROJECT ARM.

AND SO THANKFULLY, I'VE BEEN TASKED TO LEAD IMTECH AND SO I CAN KIND OF DEFER THIS A

[00:40:03]

BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, I'M SURE, AS YOU'RE AWARE, KAREN, FROM THE PROJECT IN FORT LAUDERDALE, THERE'S A LOT TO IT. YOU KNOW, IT SOUNDS GREAT IN PRINCIPLE AND THE DEVIL'S ALWAYS IN THE DETAILS. AND SO WE'RE DEFINITELY AWARE OF THAT.

BUT I CAN TELL YOU, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE CITY CHOOSES TO DELIVER THE PROJECT OR [INAUDIBLE] OR IF SOMEHOW WE CAN SWEET TALK FDOT INTO DOING IT, I AM ALWAYS HERE TO ASSIST THE CITIES THROUGH THE PROCESS AND AS WELL AS THE OTHER STAFF.

WE RECOGNIZE THAT IT'S SCARY.

THERE'S A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, REGULATORY LANGUAGE AND IT'S NOT ONE OF THESE THINGS WHERE I JUST LIKE THROWING AT YOU AND KIND OF WASH MY HANDS AND GO AND TAKE LIKE A SIX WEEK VACATION WHILE YOU'RE PULLING YOUR HAIR OUT.

SO WE'RE CERTAINLY THERE TO WORK WITH WITH YOU, WITH THE MUNICIPALITIES AND DETERMINE WHAT'S THE BEST APPROACH FOR THEM.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS RELATED TO MOBILITY HUB CRITERIA? I THINK THEY LOOK GREAT, THEY MAKE SENSE IN TERMS OF MOBILITY HUB.

IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS IF AFTER NOW THEY THINK OF THINGS BETWEEN NOW AND THE VOTE? ABSOLUTELY, YES.

IF WE CAN GO BACK MAYBE ONE SLIDE JUST SO THAT WE CAN HAVE OUR EMAILS UP AND JUST MAKE SURE IF YOU WANT TO TAKE A SCREENSHOT WITH YOUR PHONE OR WHATEVER, YOU KNOW, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO REACH OUT TO US AT ANY TIME DURING THIS PROCESS.

SO IF SOMETHING COMES TO YOU LATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, I KNOW, YOU KNOW, MOBILITY HUBS KEEP ME UP ALL NIGHT LONG.

SO IF YOU CAN'T GO TO SLEEP, YOU THINK OF SOMETHING, PLEASE SEND IT TO ME AND WE'LL MAKE SURE TO INCORPORATE IT AND MAKE IT PART OF THE RECORD.

GREAT, AND I DID HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR KERRIE IN TERMS OF YOUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

CAN WE GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE CSLIP CHART? YEAH, THAT ONE.

SO THERE'S A BUNCH OF DIFFERENT THINGS UNDERNEATH THAT ACCESSIBILITY.

ARE THEY ALL LUMPED TOGETHER OR ARE THEY TAKEN INDIVIDUALLY? HOW DO YOU ENVISION THAT MEASURE BEING RANKED? SURE, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION.

AND SO THERE ARE A LOT OF A LOT OF ITEMS UNDER ACCESSIBILITY.

WE DO HAVE THEM DIVIDED UP INTO, FOR EXAMPLE, TRANSIT STOP LOCATIONS IS SEPARATE FROM PUBLIC SCHOOLS, IS SEPARATE FROM PARKS AND COLLEGES, WHICH IS SEPARATE FROM POPULATION DENSITY. SO WE HAVE DIFFERENT DATA SETS FOR A LOT OF THOSE.

FOR EXAMPLE, CONNECTION TO EXISTING FACILITIES, THAT'S DONE MANUALLY.

SO THAT IS NOT A PARTICULAR DATA SET.

TRANSIT STOP LOCATIONS COMES FROM THE BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT GIS.

LET'S SEE, POPULATION DENSITY COMES FROM ANOTHER DATA SET FROM BROWARD COUNTY PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT DIVISION.

SO IF THERE'S A PARTICULAR QUESTION YOU HAD ABOUT ONE OF THEM, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

THEY ALL WILL HAVE THEIR OWN POINTS IN SCORING AND THEY ARE SEPARATED OUT, YES.

OK, AND THEN IN TERMS OF SAFETY, SO IT'S GREAT THAT YOU'RE SPECIFICALLY LOOKING AT THE FATALITIES AND SERIOUS INJURY.

SO JUST GENERAL CRASH NUMBERS AREN'T USED AT ALL IN THIS RANKING? ANOTHER GREAT QUESTION, BECAUSE WE ARE STILL IN THE DEVELOPMENT PROCESS AND STILL HAVE NOT TOTALLY DISMISSED USING ALL CRASHES.

WE ARE LOOKING AT THE FULL CRASH DATA SET FROM SIGNAL FOR OVER A PERIOD OF FIVE YEARS.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT USING THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE FULL CRASH DATA.

AND SO IF YOU HAVE ANY FEEDBACK ABOUT THAT, ANY CONCERNS ABOUT USING THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK, AS OPPOSED TO FULL CRASH DATA, YOU KNOW, THIS IS MAYBE [INAUDIBLE] BRING IT UP AND, YEAH.

MY PERSONAL OPINION, MAYBE IT'S A LOWER SCORING, A LOWER, DEFINITELY THE WHERE PEOPLE ARE DYING OR BEING INJURED TO THE POINT WHERE THEIR LIFE IS ALTERED.

[00:45:05]

BUT WE DO SEE PLACES THAT MAYBE THERE ARE THOSE LEVEL CRASHES, BUT THERE'S STILL AND I THINK SHOULD BE RANKED HIGHER MAYBE THAN A PLACE THAT HAS NO CRASHES.

SO DEFINITELY NOT AT THE SAME LEVEL OF SEVERITY, BUT I THINK OVERALL CRASHES SHOULD BE PUT IN THERE SOMEWHERE. OK, THANK YOU FOR YOUR FEEDBACK.

YEAH, DEFINITELY STILL LOOKING AT THAT AND YOU KNOW, THE POINT OF LOOKING AT THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK WAS SINCE THERE ARE SO MANY CRASHES ALL OVER BROWARD COUNTY, TENS OF THOUSANDS OF CRASHES OVER THOSE FIVE YEAR PERIOD, JUST TRYING TO NARROW IT DOWN TO THE PROJECTS LOCATED ON CORRIDORS WITH THE MOST CRUCIAL NEEDS.

SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE LOOKING AT THAT.

BUT I WILL MAKE NOTE OF THAT.

THANK YOU. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION I HAD WITH THE MOBILITY CATEGORY.

IS THAT JUST LEVEL OF SERVICE FOR VEHICLES OR IS THAT MULTIMODAL LEVEL OF SERVICE? SO ACTUALLY, SO SINCE WE MADE THIS TABLE ABOUT A MONTH AGO, WE'VE BEEN CONTINUING TO WORK ON THIS AND WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING AT JUST USING THE TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND USING THE AEDT DATA FOR THAT. SO THE TRAFFIC VOLUME PER LANE AND POSSIBLY NOT USING LEVEL OF SERVICE.

SO AND I'M SORRY, CAN YOU REPEAT IT? I DON'T KNOW IF THAT ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION? YES, IT'S JUST CARS.

JUST CARS. AND I KNOW YOU HAVE YOUR SET MTP THEMES, BUT I HAVE HEARTBURN OVER SAYING MOVING CARS IS ABOUT MOBILITY TOTALLY.

LIKE, I DON'T KNOW. I JUST IT'S ONLY ABOUT MOVING CARS.

IT'S NOT REALLY ABOUT MOBILITY OF EVERYBODY IS MY HEARTBURN WITH THE TITLE.

PETER, DO YOU MIND IF I JUMP IN HERE, MADAM CHAIR? IS THAT ALL RIGHT? SURE.

SO I THINK ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN DISCUSSING HERE, KAREN, IS NOT NECESSARILY MEASURING AN IMPROVEMENT IN LEVEL OF SERVICE.

I THINK WHEN KERRIE MENTIONED THAT WE'RE LOOKING NOW AT TRAFFIC VOLUME PER LANE, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE EXPOSURE THAT SOMEONE WOULD HAVE TO TRAFFIC VOLUME PER LANE AS PART OF THE FACILITY. RIGHT. SO IN THEORY, IF YOU'RE BEING EXPOSED TO HIGHER TRAFFIC VOLUMES PER LANE, THERE'S A GREATER NEED THAN FOR BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN FACILITIES, WHICH IS WHAT CSLIP FUNDS. SO, WE'RE NOT LOOKING AT IT FROM THE SIDE OF THE COIN OF HOW ARE WE IMPROVING LEVEL OF SERVICE. WE'RE TRYING TO SAY, OK, HOW ARE WE PROTECTING THE VULNERABLE USERS ON THE ROADWAY BASED ON THE EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES OUT THERE? GOT IT. I GET IT, THANK YOU.

NO PROBLEM. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? AS CHADWICK MENTIONED, WE'LL BE VOTING ON THESE NEXT ROUND, SO IF YOU HAVE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS ON THIS WILL DETERMINE OUR NEXT SET OF GRANTS AND HOW WE RANK ON THOSE THAT ARE PRETTY IMPORTANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT AND MAKE SURE, OK, AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

WELL, THANK YOU AGAIN, MADAM CHAIR, FOR ALLOWING US TO PRESENT.

THANK YOU, CHADWICK. YES, THANK YOU.

AND PLEASE, IF YOU THINK OF SOMETHING, REACH OUT TO US.

WE WILL BE COMING BACK IN JUNE SO THAT YOU HAVE SOME TIME.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO OUR NON-ACTION ITEM, WHICH IS A REPORT FROM PARTNER AGENCIES.

[4. Report from Partner Agencies - Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) - Eminent Domain Relief Ordinances]

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, AND GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU AND TO THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT ON THIS TOPIC.

THIS IS THE OPENING SLIDE, OBVIOUSLY SO DEFINED SIMPLY AS EMINENT DOMAIN IS THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT, BE IT FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LEVELS TO TAKE PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR PUBLIC USE WITH JUST COMPENSATION.

NEXT, PLEASE. OF THE VAST MAJORITY OF PROPERTIES THAT ARE AFFECTED BY EMINENT DOMAIN ARE PARTIAL ACQUISITIONS, THESE ARE JUST SOME SOME RUDIMENTARY EXAMPLES OF WHAT SOMETHING LIKE THAT MIGHT LOOK LIKE.

AND THE APPRAISERS THAT WE HIRE, WE HIRE CONSULTANT FEE APPRAISERS WHO HAVE A TEAM OF SUBCONSULTANTS THAT INCLUDE ENGINEERS, LAND PLANNERS, GENERAL CONTRACTORS OF THOSE FOLKS, YOU KNOW, IN AN ATTEMPT TO MITIGATE THE IMPACTS OF ACQUISITIONS SUCH AS THIS REPAIR WHAT

[00:50:07]

A VARIANCE FROM EXISTING LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE.

AND AS SUCH, THE NEED FOR EMINENT DOMAIN ORDINANCES COMES INTO PLAY.

NEXT SLIDE. FLORIDA LAW REQUIRES THAT WHEN A CONDEMNING AUTHORITY IS PROPOSING A CURE PLAN AS PART OF A COMPENSATION PACKAGE TO AN OWNER THAT ANY VARIANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THAT CARE PLAN, THAT IT'S RECENTLY PROBABLE THAT THOSE VARIANCES CAN BE GRANTED.

OBVIOUSLY, THE PHRASE REASONABLY PROBABLE IS A SUBJECTIVE ONE.

AND WHEN NO EMINENT DOMAIN ORDINANCES EXIST, THAT GRANDSTANDING TO A CONDEMNING AUTHORITY TO SUBMIT A PROPOSED CURE PLAN FOR A REVIEW AND FORMAL APPROVAL, ESTABLISHING THAT REASONABLE PROBABILITY REQUIRES OTHER METHODS THAT INVOLVE RESEARCHING PAST VARIOUS APPROVALS WITHIN THE MUNICIPALITY OR LOCAL GOVERNMENT, AND IN ADDITION TO THAT, OBTAINING STAFF LEVEL APPROVAL OR ENDORSEMENT OF THE PLAN.

NOW, NEITHER OF THOSE IN THE NORMAL COURSE ARE BINDING TO THE CITY OR COUNTY, AND AS SUCH, IT BECOMES AN ITEM OF UNCERTAINTY.

AND ABSENT OF THAT, THAT UNCERTAINTY OFTEN UNDERMINES THE CREDIBILITY OF A COMPENSATION FIGURE THAT THE DEPARTMENT OR ANY CONDEMNING AUTHORITY IS PROPOSING TO AN OWNER, AND IT DOES TEND TO WEAKEN THE NEGOTIATION POSITION AND CREATE SOME DOUBT IN THE MINDS OF LANDOWNERS, BUSINESS OWNERS, HOW THOSE IMPACTS WILL ULTIMATELY AFFECT THEIR PROPERTY.

NEXT SLIDE. AND IT'S THOSE UNCERTAINTIES THAT WELL CRAFTED EMINENT DOMAIN ORDINANCE COULD HELP TO ELIMINATE. HERE ARE SOME BENEFITS OF AN ORDINANCE THAT IT CREATES A FORMAL AND ORDERLY PROCESS FOR ALL AFFECTED PARTIES TO FOLLOW.

ELIMINATES THE UNCERTAINTY OF [INAUDIBLE] APPROVAL AND THE ASSOCIATED COMPENSATION WITH THAT CURE PLAN. PROVIDES A TANGIBLE ASSURANCE THAT A PROPOSED CURE COULD BE PERMITTED AND IMPLEMENTED. SO AN OWNER CAN GO IN TO A CITY THAT GRANTS THAT APPROVAL AND PULL A PERMIT TO ACTUALLY BUILD THAT CURE PLAN.

AND IT ALLOWS FOR THE CONTINUED LEGAL USE OF PROPERTIES MADE NONCONFORMITY BY THE PARTIAL ACQUISITION AND PROVIDES A FIRM FOUNDATION FOR THOSE APPRAISAL AND COMPENSATION FIGURES.

NEXT PLEASE. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FROM ONE OF MANY ORDINANCES THAT HAVE BEEN ADOPTED BY OWNERS THAT IT GRANTS THAT STANDING TO THE CONDEMNING AUTHORITY.

THERE ARE SOME THAT EXIST THAT DON'T GRANT THAT STANDING.

AND WHEN ONE STANDING ISN'T GRANTED TO A CONDEMNING AUTHORITY TO OFFER A PROPOSED CURE PLAN, THAT HAS VARIANCES AS PART OF THEM, WE GOT TO GO THROUGH THE OTHER PROCESS BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE THE STANDING, THE CONDEMNING AUTHORITY DOESN'T HAVE THE STANDING TO ACTUALLY SUBMIT A FORMAL PLAN TO GET REVIEWED AND APPROVED.

WHEN YOU HAVE THIS LANGUAGE IN THERE THAT AFFORD THE CONDEMNING AUTHORITY ABILITY TO DO THAT, IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S WHAT AN OWNER WOULD HAVE TO DO.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT'S THE ONLY PLAN THAT WOULD WORK.

THE OWNER STILL HAS THE ABILITY THROUGH THEIR EXPERTS, WHICH, BY THE WAY, THAT THE DEPARTMENT IN OUR CASE, WE PAY FOR THE PROPERTY OWNERS, LEGAL COUNSEL AND ANY AND ALL EXPERTS THAT THEY WOULD NEED TO FORMULATE THEIR CURE PLAN AND THEIR PROPOSALS.

BUT YOU CAN HAVE MORE THAN ONE PLAN THAT A LOCAL GOVERNMENT WOULD SEE FIT TO APPROVE.

SO GRANTING THAT STANDING IS CRITICAL FOR A CONDEMNING AUTHORITY TO BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH THAT PROCESS. SOME PEOPLE HAVE SAID, WELL, YOU KNOW, WHY DON'T YOU JUST GO IN WITH THE

[00:55:02]

I MEAN, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CERTAINLY WOULD ENCOURAGE AND SEEK OUT.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT, BUT IN REALITY, IT JUST IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

OFTENTIMES, PROPERTY OWNERS ARE REPRESENTED BY LEGAL COUNSEL TO ENCOURAGE THEM NOT TO PURSUE THAT. SO THAT'S THE HINDRANCE FOR US, SO WHEN WE DON'T HAVE THAT, WE GO THROUGH THE OTHER MEANS BY WHICH WE ESTABLISH A REASONABLE PROBABILITY OF THOSE CURES BEING APPROVED. AND THOSE ALWAYS HAVE THAT UNCERTAINTY BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH WE MIGHT HAVE SOME RECORDS OF PAST HISTORY OF THINGS BEING APPROVED SUCH AS THAT.

AND WE HAVE THE LOCAL PLANNING AND ZONING DIRECTOR OR STAFF MEMBERS SAYING THAT THEY WOULD THEY WOULD ADVOCATE THIS IN FAVOR FOR APPROVAL BEFORE A BOARD OR COMMISSION.

AND IN THE END, IT'S NOT A BINDING THING.

SO THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHERE WE MAKE OFFERS TO OWNERS AND FOR WHATEVER REASON, THINGS CHANGE, OPINIONS CAN CHANGE OR PERSONNEL CHANGE.

A STAFF MEMBER WHO MIGHT HAVE GRANTED THAT VERBAL APPROVAL OR EVEN WRITTEN APPROVAL MIGHT LEAVE EMPLOYMENT WITH THAT PARTICULAR CITY OR COUNTY.

AND A NEW PERSON COMES IN, MAY HAVE A DIFFERENT OPINION.

AND WHEN PROPERTY OWNERS AND BUSINESS OWNERS RAISE THESE ISSUES, I THINK THEY'RE LEGITIMATE CLAIMS. THEIR CONCERNS ARE THAT WHAT THE DEPARTMENT'S COMPENSATION FIGURE, THROUGH CONSULTING APPRAISERS AND LAND PLANNERS AND ENGINEERS, ARE BASED ON A PLAN THAT THEY'RE NOT ASSURED THEY CAN BUILD. I'VE OFTEN SAID THAT THE OWNER THEMSELVES COULD TAKE IT IN, TAKE THE DEPARTMENT'S CURE PLAN TO THE CITY AND RUN IT THROUGH THEMSELVES WHEN THERE'S NO STANDING. BUT THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.

AND BY VIRTUE OF THAT, WE'RE LEFT TO NEGOTIATE WITH WITH THAT LEVEL OF UNCERTAINTY.

NEXT SLIDE. THESE ARE SOME CITIES THAT THERE ARE OTHERS, THESE ARE JUST SOME EXAMPLES OF CITIES THAT HAVE ADOPTED EMINENT DOMAIN POLICIES THAT HAVE THAT STANDING LANGUAGE IN.

IF YOUR CITY DOESN'T HAVE THESE, I WOULD STRONGLY ENCOURAGE YOU TO AT LEAST LOOK INTO IT WHEN THESE PROJECTS ARE COMING, AND IT'S NOT JUST FOR THE DOT, THE BENEFIT OF DOT; IT'S ANY CONDEMNING AUTHORITY, AND QUITE FRANKLY, IT'S FOR PROPERTY OWNER AND ANY TENANT ON THOSE PROPERTIES THAT WANT TO KNOW THAT THE CURE PLAN THAT THE CONDEMNING AUTHORITY IS OFFERING AND THE COMPENSATION ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PLAN IS ONE THAT THEY COULD GO AND GET A PERMIT AND BUILD OUT WITHOUT WITHOUT ANY ISSUES.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

AND I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS IF ANYBODY HAS.

THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. RAMOS? I DO NOT SEE ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.

OK, SO OUR NEXT IS JUST COMMITTEE REPORTS OF PAST MEETINGS.

AND SOME ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANYTHING THEY'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH THE GROUP? MEMBERS? NO? GOOD. AND WE HAVE PARTICIPATION REPORT, AND THEN LASTLY, THERE IS AN UPCOMING

[3. Southeast Florida Transportation Council - Coastal Link Commuter Rail Workshop - April 30, 2021]

IT LOOKS LIKE AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION TO HAVE.

I ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY TO JOIN THAT IF THEY'RE INTERESTED.

AND THAT'S ALL WE HAVE.

AGAIN, AS A NOTE, THE NEXT TWO MEETINGS ARE MAY AND JUNE WILL BE WITH ACTION ITEMS, SO WE WILL NEED ATTENDANCE IN PERSON FOR THOSE.

THERE ARE SOME IMPORTANT ACTIONS WE NEED TO TAKE TO MOVE THE PROCESSES ALONG FOR THOSE.

I SEE, MIKE, YOU'VE UNMUTED YOURSELF.

DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO ADD? NO, MADAM CHAIR, I THINK YOU'VE SAID IT ALL.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS I WANTED TO COMMENT ON.

AND GREAT JOB AS USUAL.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU ALL.

GOOD TO HAVE YOU HERE. SEE YOU NEXT MONTH, MAY 26TH.

YES, THANK YOU ALL.

THANK YOU.
