May 13, 2021 Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization Workshop

[00:00:01]

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

JUST A BIT OF HOUSEKEEPING FOR YOU.

SO WE HAVE ALL OF OUR POLICY BOARD MEMBERS AS A PARTICIPANT IN THE MEETING AND AFTER EVERY PRESENTATION, WE'RE GOING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO RAISE YOUR VIRTUAL HAND.

THAT MEANS YOU JUST GO DOWN TO THE PARTICIPANTS ICON IN THE TOOLBAR AND THEN THERE'S THE RAISE HAND.

AND THAT WILL SIGNIFY THAT YOU WILL BE PUT IN ORDER THAT YOU RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND I CAN CALL ON YOU TO ASK YOUR QUESTION OF EACH OF THE PEOPLE THAT ARE PROVIDING THE PRESENTATION TODAY.

THIS IS, OF COURSE, 100 PERCENT VIRTUAL.

SO WELCOME, EVERYBODY.

I KNOW I'VE RECEIVED SEVERAL MESSAGES THAT SOME OF YOU ARE A LITTLE UNDER THE WEATHER AND WE FULLY UNDERSTAND IF YOU NEED TO GO TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AT ANY GIVEN POINT.

SO.

LET'S GO AHEAD AND ADVANCE TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

THE VERY FIRST ITEM ON TODAY'S WORKSHOP IS THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

[1. DRAFT Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 Multimodal Transportation Priorities List (MMPL)]

THIS IS PETER GIES, SYSTEMS PLANNING MANAGER WITH THE BROAD METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION.

HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY.

I'M ALSO JOINED BY MY COLLEAGUE, DR.

CHEN, WHO IS GOING TO TAKE OVER IN THE SECOND HALF OF THIS PRESENTATION.

BUT THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST IS AN ANNUAL LIST THAT WE DEVELOPED FOR THE MPO BOARD TO ULTIMATELY TRANSMIT TO THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION OF OUR PRIORITY PROJECTS FROM THE LONG RANGE PLAN THAT WE ULTIMATELY WOULD LIKE THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO PROGRAM WITH FUNDING BOTH STATE AND FEDERAL FUNDS.

SO I WANT TO MAKE YOU ALL AWARE THAT THIS TIME FOR THE WORKSHOP, IT IS A NON ACTION ITEM.

OBVIOUSLY, WE'RE HERE TODAY IN A WORKSHOP ENVIRONMENT PRESENTING THIS IS AN INFORMATIONAL ITEM, BUT NEXT MONTH YOU WILL SEE THIS AS AN ACTION ITEM TO VOTE ON.

SO TO THE PURPOSE OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION IS INFORMATIONAL TO LET YOU ALL KNOW WHAT IS IN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

AND THEN WE WILL BE SEEKING A VOTE NEXT MEETING IN JUNE ON THIS ITEM.

SO A QUICK HIGH LEVEL ABOUT THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

AS I MENTIONED, IT DOES STRADDLE BOTH THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, WHICH IS OUR LONG RANGE PLAN AND OUR FIVE YEAR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

AND HERE AT THE MPO AT A STAFF LEVEL, WE LIKE TO CALL THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST THE BRIDGE BETWEEN THESE TWO PLANNING PRODUCTS BECAUSE IT HELPS FUNNEL PROJECTS FROM THE LONG RANGE PLAN THAT ARE KIND OF THOUGHT OF AT THE HIGH LEVEL AND THROUGH INTO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM WHERE THE PROJECT ACTUALLY GETS FUNDED AND MOVES THROUGH THE DELIVERY PROCESS.

SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE A HANDBOOK, A GUIDEBOOK FOR FDOT OF WHAT THEY SHOULD PROGRAM INTO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM OR WHAT YOU MIGHT CALL YOUR CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

SO NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO HERE'S A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT IT.

I'M NOT GOING TO JUMP INTO THE NITTY GRITTY, BUT AS I MENTIONED, YOU KNOW, WE DEVELOP OUR LONG RANGE PLAN, WHICH YOU SEE HERE IN THE DARK BLUE EVERY FIVE YEARS, WHICH IS BASICALLY WHAT WE USE AS OUR LONG RANGE GUIDE FOR PROJECTS THAT WE ULTIMATELY PROGRAM INTO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

WHAT YOU SEE HERE IN THE LIGHT BLUE IS HOW WE HANDLE PROJECTS FROM THE LONG RANGE PLAN AND HOW THEY GET INTO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM.

AND THE WAY THAT WE DO THAT IS THROUGH THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

SO YOU CAN SEE IN THE FIRST LIGHT BLUE BOX HERE THAT YOU SEE ON THE LEFT HAND SIDE OF THE SCREEN, PROJECTS FROM THE MTP ARE INCLUDED IN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST, AND WE MAKE SURE THAT WE UPDATE THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST ON AN ANNUAL BASIS TO ACCOUNT FOR PROJECTS THAT GET FULLY PROGRAMED FOR PROJECTS THAT MAY MOVE UP OR DOWN AS A RESULT OF PROJECTS MOVING IN AND OUT OF THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

SO IT IS A LIVING DOCUMENT IN THAT REGARD WHERE WE UPDATE IT EVERY YEAR TO REFLECT THOSE CHANGES.

WE USE THAT MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST TO PROVIDE FDOT WITH A GUIDEBOOK TO PROGRAM THE AVAILABLE REVENUES THAT THEY HAVE.

THOSE AVAILABLE REVENUES DO TYPICALLY OCCUR IN THE NEW FIFTH YEAR SINCE FDRT DOES HAVE A FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM, NEW REVENUES ARE ALWAYS AVAILABLE ON THE NEW FIFTH YEAR.

SO THIS MULTIMODAL PART IS JUST TO HELP PROGRAM PROJECTS.

IN THAT NEW FIFTH YEAR, WE BRING THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST TO THE MPO BOARD FOR APPROVAL.

AND THEN THAT HELPS US DEVELOP THE FINAL TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM, WHICH YOU WILL SEE THEN THE FOLLOWING YEAR.

SO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM THAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE ADOPTED HERE IN JUNE NEXT MONTH IS ACTUALLY BEEN DEVELOPED WITH PROJECTS FROM THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST THE PREVIOUS YEAR.

SO THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST KIND OF KICKS OFF THE BEGINNING OF THE NEW WORK PROGRAM CYCLE.

SO THINK OF THIS PRESENTATION AS THE START TO NEXT YEAR'S WORK PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT CYCLE.

SO WE DO THINGS WITH A LOT OF LEAD TIME HERE BECAUSE WE HAVE A LOT OF COORDINATION.

SO ON THIS SLIDE HERE, THIS JUST GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT WE INCLUDE IN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

AGAIN, THERE'S THAT BRIDGE GRAPHIC SINCE I MENTIONED THAT THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST IS REALLY THAT BRIDGE BETWEEN THE TWO PLANNING PRODUCTS OF THE MTP AND THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AND THEN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES.

WE INCLUDE QUITE A BIT OF DETAIL.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT ARE ORGANIZED BY THE MTP FUNDING PROGRAMS.

[00:05:01]

SO, FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE PROJECT LAST CYCLE GOT DESIGN FUNDING, WELL WE WILL SHOW THAT DESIGN FUNDING IN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES, BUT THEN ALSO SHOW THAT THERE'S STILL CONSTRUCTION FUNDING THAT NEEDS TO BE APPLIED TO THE PROJECT IN ORDER FOR IT TO BE CONSIDERED FULLY FUNDED.

AND THAT'S HOW WE REPORT ON THE FUNDING PROGRESS IN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

THE FINAL ITEM THAT WE INCLUDE IN HERE IS THE CONCEPT CALLED PROGRAM READY, WHERE WE'D LIKE TO DEMONSTRATE TO FDOT THAT THIS PROJECT IS READY FOR PROGRAMING.

IT HAS ALL THE SCOPE OF WORK AND HAS THE NECESSARY COST ESTIMATE.

IT HAS THE RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FROM THE LOCAL AGENCY.

AND THIS IS BASICALLY A VISUAL CUE FOR THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO KNOW THAT, YES, THIS PROJECT MADE IT INTO LONG RANGE PLAN.

IT HAS ALL OF THE NECESSARY, REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION IN ORDER FOR THAT PROJECT TO MOVE FORWARD TO IMPLEMENTATION.

AND IF WE GO INTO THE NEXT SLIDE, WE'LL JUMP INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL ABOUT WHAT PROGRAM READY IS.

SO, AS I MENTIONED, PROGRAM READY REALLY MEANS THAT THE PROJECT HAS THE SCOPE OF WORK.

IT HAS A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT FROM THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT.

WE HAVE A GOOD COST ASSESSMENT AND WE'VE SHOWN PARTNER COLLABORATION.

WE NEED ALL FOUR OF THESE ITEMS TO BE CHECKED AS A YES IN ORDER FOR THE PROJECT TO BE CONSIDERED FOR PROGRAMING, IF A PROJECT SITS ON THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITY LIST WITH A NO IN ANY OF THESE ICONS FDOT IS AUTOMATICALLY GOING TO SKIP IT BECAUSE THAT PROJECT IS NOT READY FOR PROGRAMING BECAUSE IT IS MISSING ONE OF THESE ITEMS. NEXT SLIDE.

THE OTHER THING THAT WE DO AS PART OF THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST IS WE ORGANIZE ALL THE PROJECTS BY THE FUNDING PROGRAMS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, AND WE ALSO TRIED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALLOCATE THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDING THAT WAS ADOPTED BY THE BOARD WITHIN THE MTP.

SO YOU CAN SEE HERE AT THE BOTTOM, WAY BACK WHEN, IF YOU WERE PART OF THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN ADOPTION CYCLE, YOU'LL REMEMBER YOU WILL REMEMBER WE HAD A DISCUSSION ABOUT THE ALLOCATION OF IMPERTURBABLE FUNDING BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT FUNDING PROGRAMS. AND WE TRIED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE MEET THAT ON AN ANNUAL BASIS BY ONLY SHOWING PROJECTS WITHIN THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST THAT CAN BE FUNDED UP TO THAT FUNDING THRESHOLD WHERE THE PERCENTAGE SHOWN ON THE SCREEN HERE NEXT SLIDE.

SO WE HAD SOME CHANGES FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST CYCLE THAT WE JUST WANTED TO MAKE YOU AWARE OF.

AND THEY'RE MORE JUST FUNCTIONAL CHANGES AS A RESULT OF SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED WITH PROJECT DELIVERY AND ONCE AGAIN, OUR MTP FUNDING PROGRAMS. SO I'M SURE MANY OF YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE LAP TRANSITION FOR THE COMPLETE STREETS AND LOCALIZED INITIATIVES AND COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN FUNDING PROGRAMS. THAT'S THE CSLIP AND CSMP PROGRAMS WHERE FDOT EXPRESSED THE DESIRE FOR ALL OF THOSE PROJECTS TO TRANSITION TO THE LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM DELIVERY MECHANISM.

AND WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES REFLECTED THAT PROJECTS THAT WERE ONCE BEING DELIVERED BY DOT ARE NOW BEING DELIVERED BY THE LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM AND THAT THEY HAD ALL THE NECESSARY RESOLUTIONS AND COMMITMENTS IN PLACE IN ORDER TO DELIVER THE PROJECT VIA THE LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM.

SO WE ALSO ARE ACTIVELY REPROGRAMING PROJECTS THAT WERE INITIALLY TAKEN OUT OF THE DRAFT TENET OF WORK PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY WERE WAITING FOR THIS LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM COMMITMENT.

WE ARE NOW REPROGRAMING THOSE PROJECTS IN PRIORITY ORDER THAT THEY WERE ALWAYS HELD IN IN PREVIOUS YEARS AS PART OF THIS EFFORT.

AND WE DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AND YOUR STAFF'S PATIENCE AND HARD WORK DURING THIS PROCESS.

WE KNOW IT WASN'T EASY, BUT WE DO TRULY APPRECIATE THE COOPERATION AND THE DILIGENCE THAT YOU ALL EXERCISED IN HELPING US GET TO THIS POINT AND MEET FDOT'S REQUEST TO TRANSITION THESE PROJECTS TO LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAMS, TO LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM MECHANISM.

WE KNOW IT WASN'T NECESSARILY OUR CHOICE OR OUR DESIRE, BUT OUR PARTNERS AT DOT REALLY WANTED THIS TO HAPPEN.

AND YOU ALL HELPED US IN THAT PROCESS.

AND WE APPRECIATE IT, NEXT SLIDE.

SO THE FINAL CHANGE THAT WE HAVE HERE IS THAT WE ADDED SOME PROGRAM FUNDING THRESHOLDS AND WHAT WE MEAN BY PROGRAM FUNDING THRESHOLDS IS THAT IF YOU LOOK AT THE FUNDING GOAL PERCENTAGE THAT YOU SEE AT THE TOP HERE, SAY FOR AS AN EXAMPLE, THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN PROGRAM AT TWENTY FIVE PERCENT.

THIS WAS THE ADOPTED PROGRAM FUNDING THRESHOLD FOR THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

AND WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO SIGNAL TO DOT IS THAT IF YOU GO BELOW THIS LINE, YOU'VE EXCEEDED THAT TWENTY FIVE PERCENT MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDING THAT MAY BE AVAILABLE FOR THAT YEAR.

AND IF YOU'RE GOING TO PROGRAM A PROJECT BELOW THAT LINE, YOU SHOULD PROBABLY REACH OUT TO THE MPO BECAUSE WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THOSE HIGH PRIORITY PROJECTS ARE BEING PROGRAMED AHEAD OF THAT, SINCE THEY ARE WITHIN THAT PROGRAM FUNDING THRESHOLD LINE.

AND WHAT THAT DOES IS ENSURE STABILITY BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS. SO IT MAKES SURE THAT WE HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING IN THE COMPLETE STREETS AND LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM FUNDING POT AND WE HAVE ENOUGH FUNDING IN THE COMPLETE STREETS, MASTERPLAN POT IN THE ROADWAY POT SO THAT ALL OF THE PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE PRIORITIZED WITHIN THE PLAN CAN ACTUALLY BE FUNDED WITH MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDING.

IF WE DUMP ALL OF OUR FUNDING INTO ONE PROGRAM, WE OBVIOUSLY LOSE THEN THE FUNDING FOR THE OTHER PROGRAMS.

[00:10:19]

CHEN, WHO'S GOING TO RUN THROUGH SOME OF THE DETAILS OF THIS YEAR'S MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST AND GIVE YOU SOME SUMMARY STATISTICS AND FUNDING INFORMATION.

SO, DR. CHEN, TAKE IT AWAY.

THANK YOU, PETER.

GOOD MORNING, BOARD MEMBERS AND WELCOME GUESTS.

MY NAME IS JIHONG CHEN PROJECT THE PROGRAM MANAGER WITH [INAUDIBLE] MPO PETER ADDRESSED THE PRESENTATION, MPOS PLANNING PROCESS LIKE TRANSITION FUNDING CIRCLES.

NOW LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURE OF THE MPO.

THE MPO INCLUDES 132 PRODUCTS.

AMONG THE 132 PRODUCTS THERE ARE TWO UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM PRODUCTS, 30 CSLIP PRODUCTS.

29, COMPANY STREET MASTER PLAN PROJECTS, ONE MOBILITY HUB PRODUCT, 51 ROADWAY PRODUCTS, 5 TRANSIT PRODUCTS AND 14 SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND THEN SAFETY PRODUCTS.

FOR DETAILS OF THE PRODUCTS, PLEASE REFER TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 MULTIMODAL PRIORITY LIST.

YOU CAN FIND THIS DOCUMENT IN THE PACKAGE OF THE MEETING AND ALSO YOU CAN ALSO YOU CAN ALSO VISIT ITS FORWARD MPOS WEBSITE.

YOU CAN FIND THIS DOCUMENT UNDER THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS PROGRAM SECTION.

[INAUDIBLE] LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE FUNDING PICTURE FOR THE MPO THIS SLIDE SHOWS THE AMOUNT BY PROGRAM AND OWNERSHIP.

SINCE THE PRODUCTS INCLUDE THE PRODUCTS, BOTH LOCAL AND STATE, ABOUT FIFTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS ARE NEEDED FOR PRODUCTS ON LOCAL ROAD TO COMPLETE THOSE PRODUCTS.

ABOUT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ARE NEEDED FOR PRODUCTS ON STATE FACILITY.

COMPANIES STREET MASTER PLAN NEEDS ABOUT ONE SIXTY TWO MILLION DOLLARS FOR PRODUCTS ON LOCAL AND IT NEEDS ABOUT THIRTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS FOR PRODUCTS ON STATE [INAUDIBLE].

THE MPO INCLUDES ONE MOBILITY HUBS PRODUCTS.

THE PRODUCT NEEDS ABOUT TWO HUNDRED THIRTY TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS TO ACCOMPANY THE PRODUCT, THE PRODUCT IS ON THE LOCAL FACILITY.

ROADWAY PROGRAM NEEDS ABOUT TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS TO COMPLETE PRODUCTS ON LOCAL ROADS AND NEED ABOUT ONE POINT THREE BILLIONS FOR PRODUCTS ON STATE FACILITIES.

TRANSIT PROGRAM NEEDS ABOUT TWO BILLION DOLLARS FOR PROJECTS ON LOCAL PRODUCTS AND NEEDS ABOUT ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR PRODUCTS ON STATES THE FACILITY.

SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND THE SAFETY PROGRAM NEEDS ABOUT ONE POINT SIX BILLION DOLLARS FOR PROJECTS ON LOCAL.

AND NEEDS ABOUT ONE HUNDRED AND SIX MILLION DOLLARS FOR PRODUCTS ON STATE FACILITY, THE MPOP ALSO INCLUDES FUNDING FOR UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM FOR THE ACTIVITY OF PLANNING.

THE MPO INCLUDES FIVE HUNDRED SIX MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE UPWP PROGRAM.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

IN ORDER TO TRACK PROJECT PROGRESS.

[INAUDIBLE] STAFF PREPARED A FULLY FUNDED PROJECT, AT LEAST.

[INAUDIBLE] THIS IS PRESENTED IN THIS SLIDE.

YOU MAY WONDER WHAT IS A FULLY FUNDED PROJECT, THE PROJECT [INAUDIBLE] HAS BEEN PROGRAMED IN THE MOST RECENT WORK PROGRAM AND PIP NO FURTHER FUNDING NEEDED.

SO THERE IS EIGHT PROJECTS IS FULLY FUNDING.

[INAUDIBLE] THOSE EIGHT PROJECTS INCLUDED FOUR SUSTAINABLE PROJECTS, ONE COMPANY STREET MASTER PLAN PROJECTS, ONE ROADWAY PRODUCTS.

TWO SYSTEMS MANAGEMENT AND SAFETY PROJECTS AND ALSO THE MPO [INAUDIBLE]

[00:15:04]

WITH THAT THE TEAM IS HERE, IT'S READY TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. GIES AND DR. CHEN, THERE IS A HAND UP.

MR. WELCH, YOU'RE RECOGNIZED.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE.

AS ALWAYS.

I DO HAVE SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT SOME OF THE PARTICULAR PROJECTS.

IS THIS THE APPROPRIATE TIME, BRYAN, OR CHAIR? ABSOLUTELY.

ALL RIGHT.

FIRST OF ALL, ON THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN PROJECT NUMBER 29 IS THE ATLANTIC BOULEVARD FROM NORTHWEST 31ST AVE TO NORTHWEST 6 AVE.

AND THAT DOES INCLUDE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING, ALTHOUGH IT'S REFERRED TO AS DECORATIVE.

I LIKE TO THINK ABOUT IT AS MORE FOR SAFETY.

IS THERE A WAY THAT WE CAN.

BETTER UNDERSTAND IF THESE PROJECTS ARE ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE THIS SAFETY LIGHTING FUNDING, AND IS IT ALSO A CONSIDERATION IN THE SURTAX PROJECTS FOR REQUIRING PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING FOR SAFETY? SO I CAN ACTUALLY ANSWER THAT FLORIDA HAS WHAT THEY CALL A GREEN BOOK STANDARD IN ORDER TO HAVE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING AND THE CRITERIA ARE QUITE STRAIGHT, LIKE THEY HAVE TO BE NEAR AN UNDERPASS OR SOMETHING WHERE THE SUN DOESN'T SHINE AND IT'S ONLY LIMITED TO A CERTAIN NUMBER OF FEET AROUND THOSE FEATURES.

SO PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING DOWN MAIN STRETCHES OF ROADS ARE ACTUALLY NOT ELIGIBLE UNDER THE GREEN BOOK STANDARD AND FOR SURTAX SURTAX MIRRORS THE STANDARD FOR FDOT.

SO THAT SAME LANGUAGE WAS ACTUALLY INCORPORATED INTO THE INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT.

OK.

ALL RIGHT.

AND THEN PROJECT NUMBER FORTY AND FORTY TWO AND FORTY THREE UNDER ROADWAY THE FORTY FOR INSTANCE, THE WILES ROAD TALKS ABOUT BEING EXPANDED FROM THE TURNPIKE TO POWER LINE FROM FOUR TO SIX LANES.

DO WE HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE ABOUT PLANS TO WIDEN WILES ROAD FROM THE TURNPIKE WEST TO LYONS? SO I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION, COMMISSIONER WELCH.

OK, THANKS.

NO PROBLEM.

AS A PART OF THE TWENTY FORTY FIVE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN DEVELOPMENT.

ONE THING THAT STAFF DID IS WE TOOK A LOOK AT THE OUTPUTS OF THE MODEL.

AND THIS PROJECT WAS ONE OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT CAME UP FROM A SEGMENT THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED OVERCAPACITY.

THE OTHER SEGMENT DID ACTUALLY I ACTUALLY DID NOT COME UP, THE ONE THAT YOU WERE REFERRING TO, AND I BELIEVE YOU SAID IT WAS WEST OF THE TURNPIKE, RIGHT? YES.

AND AS OF NOW, THERE ARE NO PLANS TO TO WIDEN THAT WESTERN SEGMENT.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO REMIND YOU THAT THAT PROJECT, LOOKING AT IT, YOU'LL SEE ON THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST THAT THE MPT TIME FRAME IS 2031 TO 2035.

SO THAT PROJECT IS WHAT WE CALL IN AN OUTER TIME BAND, AND IT'S STILL SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED.

HOWEVER, IT'S GOING TO BE A WHILE BEFORE THAT PROJECT IS PROGRAMED AND THERE WILL LIKELY BE ANOTHER ONE OR TWO METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN UPDATES BETWEEN THEM.

AND THAT MAY CAPTURE THEN THE WESTERN SEGMENT AS WELL AS THAT COMES UP AND SHOWS UP ON THE REGIONAL NETWORK AS BEING OVER CAPACITY.

WELL, THAT'S.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND THEN UNDER THAT SAME SECTION, THE PROJECT'S FORTY TWO AND FORTY THREE APPEAR TO BE THE SAME.

BUT IF THEY'RE NOT.

CAN YOU TELL ME WHY THEY'RE HOW THEY ARE DIFFERENT.

THEY ARE IN FACT DIFFERENT.

ONE IS THE SOUTH [INAUDIBLE] WHICH IS THE WESTERN RAIL THAT [INAUDIBLE] RUNS ON, WHEREAS THE OTHER ONE IS OF THE FCC CORRIDOR, WHICH IS THE EASTERN RAIL WHERE YOU SEE A LOT OF FREIGHT TRAINS AND BRIGHT LINE RUNNING ON.

OK, WELL, THAT WAS EASY UNDER THE CSLIP PROJECTS, THE OUR CITY HAS THE JOHNSON ROAD SHARED USE PATHWAY, WHICH WE'RE SO ANXIOUS TO GET AS OTHER CITIES ARE ON THEIR OWN PROJECTS.

BUT WE SEE THAT IT'S NOW UNFUNDED THROUGH 2026.

WE THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE A BIT EARLIER THAN THAT.

DID SOMETHING HAPPEN? AND COMMISSIONER WELCH, COULD I ASK YOU TO PROVIDE ME WITH A PRIORITY NUMBER THERE.

IT'S THE PROJECT 10 EXCUSE ME, UNDER THE CSLIP.

IT'S ON PAGE 18 OF THE 69 PAGES DOCUMENT.

YEAH.

IS THAT HELPFUL? YES, IT IS, AND I'M SORRY, WOULD YOU MIND REPEATING YOUR QUESTION AGAIN, BECAUSE I WAS SEARCHING FOR THOSE AS YOU WERE ASKING THE QUESTION, OK, I SHOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU THE PAGE FIRST.

[00:20:01]

IT'S THE COCONUT CREEK JOHNSTON ROAD SHARED USE PATHWAY.

YEP.

AND THEN YOUR QUESTION WAS SPECIFICALLY THAT YOU WERE EXPECTING FUNDING TO COME UP IN 26.

24 ACTUALLY.

SO I'M GOING TO MAYBE RELY ON ONE OF THE MOBILITY TEAM MEMBERS TO CHIME IN HERE, BUT I BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE PROJECTS THAT IS GOING TO BE DELIVERED VIA THE LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM.

AND ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE NEEDED TO DO AS PART OF THAT LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM DELIVERY IS REASSIGN THE FUNDING THAT MAY HAVE BEEN THERE IN THE PAST.

AND WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH FDOT.

AND THIS IS THE FIRST STEP WITH A MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST TO REASSIGN THAT FUNDING TO THOSE PROJECTS.

I WOULDN'T FRET JUST YET.

AGAIN, THIS IS WHERE THIS IS BASICALLY THAT FIRST STEP IN TRYING TO REASSIGN THE FUNDING.

SO WHAT WE'VE DONE AND YOU'LL SEE THAT WITH ALL THE PROJECTS ABOVE THAT IS ALL THOSE PROJECTS THAT TRANSITION TO THE LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM HAVE ZERO DOLLARS FOR FUNDING FROM 22 THROUGH 26.

THAT'S BECAUSE ALL THAT FUNDING NEEDS TO BE REALLOCATED THIS UPCOMING CYCLE.

OK, AND THEN THE LAST ONE I PROMISE IS THE UNDER THE SAFETY PROJECTS.

IS THERE ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO SUBMIT A REQUEST FOR TO FUND THE INTERSECTION SAFETY STUDY FOR LYONS ROAD AT ATLANTIC BOULEVARD [INAUDIBLE] SO COMMISSIONER WELCH, THAT'S A FANTASTIC QUESTION AND ACTUALLY VERY A VERY PERTINENT ONE, BECAUSE WE HAVE JUST STARTED CONVERSATIONS WITH FDOT ABOUT THEM OPENING UP THEIR POT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FUNDS TO LOCAL PRIORITIES.

AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE'RE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THEM TO STAND UP A PROCESS IN ORDER TO ALLOW LOCALS TO DO THAT.

SO WE MAY NOT CAPTURE IT THIS CYCLE, BUT WE'RE HOPING WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO WORK WITH THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES TO BRING FORWARD SAFETY PROJECTS THAT CAN COMPETE FOR BOTH MPO FUNDING AND ALSO FOR FDOT HIGHWAY SAFETY IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM FUNDING.

SO I THINK SIT TIGHT ON THIS ONE AND YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING COME UP WITHIN THE NEXT YEAR WITH RESPECT TO OUR SAFETY PROGRAM ON THIS ITEM.

THANK YOU FOR INDULGING ME.

I APPRECIATE IT.

OK, THANK YOU, COMMISSIONER.

AND NEXT UP, I SAW THIS GENTLEMAN TAKING COPIOUS NOTES DURING THE PRESENTATION, SO THESE SHOULD BE GREAT QUESTIONS.

VICE MAYOR CARN.

WAS ACTUALLY DRAWING A PICTURE.

I'M TEASING.

THANK YOU, MR. GIES, FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I WANTED TO I'VE BEEN WITH THE MPO FOR A LITTLE BIT NOW, AND I NEED TO GO BACK TO A SLIDE.

THE PROGRAM THRESHOLD SLIDE, PLEASE.

AS A PERSON THAT PREFERS DETAIL, I COULD NOT FOLLOW YOU.

IS THERE A WAY TO USE A MOUSE OR SOMETHING TO SHOW US WHAT FIGURES YOU'RE LOOKING AT ON THAT SNAPSHOT OF A TABLE THERE? SO WE ACTUALLY DON'T INCLUDE THE FIGURES HERE.

THESE ARE NUMBERS THAT WE INCLUDE ON THE BACK END.

AND THE REASON WHY IS BECAUSE THERE'S SO MANY DIFFERENT FUNDING POTS THAT ARE AVAILABLE.

AND WHAT WE'RE CALCULATING FROM IS A LARGE SPREADSHEET OF NUMBERS OF REVENUE FORECASTS.

NO, NO, I WASN'T TALKING ABOUT THE NUMBERS THEMSELVES.

I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE FORMAT.

YOU WERE TELLING US SOMETHING NEEDS TO FALL BELOW IF IT FALLS BELOW A THRESHOLD.

I GOT IT.

I APOLOGIZE.

SURE.

I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW TO FOLLOW THIS SCREEN.

THUS UNDERSTOOD THIS HERE IS A SNAPSHOT OF ONE OF THE PAGES AND MAYBE WHAT I CAN DO.

REBECCA, IF I COULD SHARE MY SCREEN, I'LL BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU WHAT IT ACTUALLY LOOKS LIKE IN THE DOCUMENT.

AND LET ME GO AHEAD.

LET ME SHARE MY SCREEN HERE.

HOPEFULLY YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THAT NOW.

YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THE MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST.

JUST JUST EXPLAIN TO US WHAT YOU MEAN BY THRESHOLD AND.

YEP, SO LOOKING HERE AT THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN, YOU'LL SEE THAT WE HAVE PROJECTS IN PRIORITY ORDER.

AND IF I SCROLL DOWN TO PROJECT NUMBER 10, YOU WILL SEE HERE THAT HERE IS THAT PROGRAM FUNDING THRESHOLD AFTER PROJECT NUMBER 10.

AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO INDICATE HERE IS THAT PROJECTS BELOW NUMBER 10 ARE TECHNICALLY BEYOND THE FUNDING THRESHOLD THAT WE'VE ALLOCATED AS PART OF THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN FOR THIS CYCLE.

I'M SORRY, WHERE IS THE THRESHOLD? THE RED DASH LINE.

THE RED DASH LINE, THAT IS CORRECT.

MEANS THAT THAT'S THE FLOOR.

THAT IS CORRECT.

FOR THIS CYCLE.

THAT WOULD BE THE FLOOR.

THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT A PROJECT CAN'T GET FUNDED OUTSIDE OF IT, BECAUSE SOMETIMES YOU'LL SEE HERE WE HAVE PROJECTS THAT MAY BE A NO OR CAN'T MOVE FORWARD.

WE JUST ARE SIGNALING TO FDOT TO CONTACT THE MPO IF THEY'RE GOING TO GO BELOW THAT FLOOR BECAUSE IT TECHNICALLY EXCEEDS THAT FUNDING THRESHOLD.

THAT'S WHAT MY EYES COULD NOT CATCH THAT DASH LINE WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT IT BEFORE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT.

NO PROBLEM.

WOULD YOU GIVE US A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPLANATION ON THE UPWP? AND I MAY LEAN ON OUR CHIEF OF STAFF, MIKE RONSKAVITZ, HERE TO ANSWER THAT

[00:25:04]

GOOD MORNING.

BOARD MEMBERS, WELCOME.

SURE, WHAT WE DO IS PART OF OUR BUDGET, WHICH IS OUR UPWP IS THE UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM.

SO BASICALLY THAT'S OUR BUDGET, OUR OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE MPO.

WHAT WE DO IS, IS WE HAVE SEVERAL FUNDING SOURCES AND WE HAVE OUR PLANNING DOLLARS.

WE HAVE OUR FEDERAL TRANSIT DOLLARS.

AND WE CAN ALSO USE WHAT'S CALLED HERE ARE SU DOLLARS OR THE MPO ATTRIBUTABLE DOLLARS TO SUPPLEMENT OUR BUDGET.

AND THIS IS THE REQUEST.

IN ORDER TO DO THAT, IT MUST BE ON THE PRIORITIES LIST IN ORDER TO REQUEST THIS MONEY TO USE FOR THE OPERATIONS OF THE MPO.

AND THIS IS WHAT THE GRAPHIC THAT YOU HAVE UP HERE WHERE IT SHOWS THE PRIORITIES LIST.

THIS IS WHERE WE REQUEST THAT MONEY AND WHEN WE MAKE THE REQUEST, IT'S FOR THE NEW FIFTH YEAR OF THE WORK PROGRAM.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THAT'S ALL MR. GIES.

THANK YOU, MR. CALETKA.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU FOR THOSE GREAT QUESTIONS, AS ALWAYS.

NEXT UP, WE HAVE VICE MAYOR, COLBOURNE.

SHE DISAPPEARED.

YES, I'M HERE.

YES, THANK YOU.

WONDERFUL.

I JUST HAVE A QUESTION ON THE LOT, ON THE LOT PROJECTS THAT IT SAYS THAT YOU HAD TO BE RESUBMITTED TO THE TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM.

TWENTY THREE.

TWENTY SEVEN.

IS THAT GOING TO DOES THAT MEAN THAT THE FUNDING YEAR MAY CHANGE TO A DIFFERENT FUNDING YEAR, WOULD IT'LL BE PUSHED OUT, OR IS IT GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE FUNDED FOR THE YEAR THAT IT WAS APPROVED FOR? SO THAT'S THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION, COMMISSIONER COLBOURNE, AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO NOW AS PART OF THE REPROGRAMING IS WE'RE TRYING TO KEEP THOSE PROJECTS WHOLE TO THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE.

SO IF THEY WERE FUNDED, SAY, IN TWENTY FOUR, WE ARE ACTIVELY WORKING WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO MAKE SURE FUNDING IS AVAILABLE FOR THAT PROJECT TO BE DELIVERED VIA LAP IN TWENTY FOUR.

NOW, AS PROJECT COST CHANGE BECAUSE OF THE LAP PROCESS, SOME PROJECTS MAY HAVE TO MOVE OUT, BUT WE DON'T KNOW THAT YET BECAUSE WE HAVEN'T GONE THROUGH THE PROGRAMING PROCESS.

BUT I WILL SAY TO YOU THAT WE ARE ABSOLUTELY STRIVING TO MAINTAIN THE FUNDING YEAR THAT THE PROJECT WAS ORIGINALLY PROGRAMED FOR AS PART OF THE LAP DELIVERY PROCESS.

BUT I WANT TO BE UPFRONT AND SAY THAT MAY NOT BE THE CASE WITH EVERY PROJECT.

WELL, I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO DO THAT BECAUSE YOU'RE ASKING THESE CITIES THESE [INAUDIBLE] TO BUDGET.

THOSE PROGRAM IN THOSE YEARS, SO IF YOU CHANGE THAT, THEN IT WILL AFFECT OUR BUDGET AS WELL.

COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND, AND THOSE ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT WE'VE BEEN SHARING WITH FDOT AND I KNOW GREG I SEE YOU'VE UNMUTED YOURSELF, SO YOU PROBABLY WANT TO JUMP IN HERE.

YES, I ACTUALLY DO.

AND THANK YOU, PETER.

COMMISSIONER, WE ARE WORKING REALLY HARD RIGHT NOW WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO YOU KNOW, BASICALLY WHEN YOU MAKE A COMMITMENT TO OUR GOVERNMENTS AND YOU PROGRAM MONEY AND YOU'RE IN YOUR CIPS, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE TO BE ABLE TO HONOR THAT COMMITMENT AS WELL.

AND THAT'S SUPER IMPORTANT.

AND WE'RE, YOU KNOW, TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT TO THEM AS WELL.

AND, YOU KNOW, WE WENT THROUGH A LITTLE BIT OF A HICCUP FINANCIALLY WITH THE COVID EXPERIENCE, BUT WITH THE TWO BILLION DOLLARS BEING APPROPRIATED INTO FROM THE AMERICAN CARE ACT, INTO THE DOT BUDGET, WE THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO BRING EVERYTHING BACK WHOLE.

I KNOW THAT STEVE BRAUN IS ON ON THE ATTENDEES SIDE.

SO, STEVE, I'M HOPING YOU'RE LISTENING TO THIS BECAUSE THIS IS ONE OF MANY QUESTIONS WE ARE GETTING, WHETHER IT'S THROUGH THIS WORKSHOP OR THROUGH OTHER VEHICLES OF COMMUNICATION.

BUT, YOU KNOW, THE LOCAL AREA PROGRAM IS AN AREA THAT REALLY HAS TO BE UNDERSTOOD BY LOCAL GOVERNMENTS.

AND THEN THE FACT THAT THEY'RE BEING REQUESTED TO PROGRAM AND USE STAFF FOR THIS DELIVERY SYSTEM MEANS THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE ADEQUATE TIME FOR THEIR BUDGETING.

AND I DON'T KNOW IF STEVE WAS MOVED OVER TO AS A PANELIST, IF HE'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO THIS.

[INAUDIBLE] IS HE OVER?

[00:30:01]

HEY, GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YEAH, I SAW IT I MUST HAVE BEEN SWITCHED OVER BECAUSE I SAW SOMETHING, AN OPTION TO UNMUTED WHICH WASN'T THERE A FEW MINUTES AGO.

WELCOME.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

THANK YOU, GREG.

YEAH.

AS GREG MENTIONED, WE UNDERSTAND REALLY SOME OF THE CHALLENGES HERE FOR THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES.

WE ARE WORKING CLOSELY WITH NPR AND OBVIOUSLY OUTREACH TO THE MUNICIPALITIES AS WELL.

SO I DON'T HAVE MUCH MORE TO OFFER EXCEPT I DID HEAR THE CONVERSATION HERE AND THE POINTS ARE ALL NOTED.

DO YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS [INAUDIBLE] NO, NO, THAT'S FINE.

I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THESE COMMITMENTS ARE MADE TO THE MUNICIPALITY ARE HONORED.

YOU KNOW, OUR STAFF WORK REALLY HARD TO GET TO THIS POINT WHERE WE HAVE THESE PROJECTS APPROVED AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT BUDGETING AND BUDGETING FOR THEM IN A CAPITAL PROJECT.

SO WE REALLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE ISN'T ANY CHANGES WITHOUT US KNOWING AND HOPEFULLY THERE AREN'T ANY OTHER CHANGES IN A NEGATIVE WAY.

NEXT UP.

ABSOLUTELY.

NEXT UP IS VICE MAYOR SIMMONS'.

ALL RIGHT, GOOD MORNING.

TOOK ME A LITTLE BIT TO GET THE MUTE BUTTON, YOU KNOW, GOOD MORNING, BUT YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I JUST HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND THEY'RE KIND OF GENERAL.

SO FOR ANYONE THAT CAN ANSWER THIS.

FOR THIS MULTIMODAL PRIORITIES LIST DID THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS, DID ANY PROJECT FULLY FUNDED OR PARTIALLY FUNDED.

I WOULD HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE LIST AND I'M SORRY THAT ONE I DON'T HAVE IN FRONT OF ME.

I KNOW THE CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS HAS PROJECTS THAT ARE ON THE LIST AS A RESULT OF SUBMITTING FOR THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN AND LIKELY FOR OTHER PROGRAMS AS WELL.

BUT MAYBE WE CAN GET BACK TO YOU ON THAT ONE.

ABSOLUTELY.

AND I GUESS WHENEVER YOU GET BACK TO ME ON THAT, I CAN CONTINUE WITH MY LINE OF QUESTIONING.

SO I WILL ALLOW ANY ONE OF MY OTHER COLLEAGUES TO ASK QUESTIONS IF THEY NEED TO.

PETER, ABOUT THIS QUESTION, WE HAVE ATTACHMENT IN THE MISSING PACKAGE THERE HAVE AT LEAST A FULLY FUNDED PRODUCTS, AND THIS INCLUDES THE CITY NAME YOU CAN FIND IT FROM THERE.

SO I CAN SAY THAT THERE IS A PROJECT I'M TRYING TO SEE.

NO, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE A LITTLE BIT MORE LOOK AT THIS.

I'M SORRY, COMMISSIONER SIMMONS, BUT I'LL GET BACK TO YOU.

YEAH, NO WORRIES.

YES.

AND I SAW THE BACK UPS AND I SAW EVERYTHING.

THERE'S A REASON WHY I'M ASKING MY QUESTION.

SO, YEAH, LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU GET BACK TO ME.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

MUCH APPRECIATED, COMMISSIONER JAFFE.

I BELIEVE HE'S MUTED.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

I JUST WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT DISCUSSION THAT VICE MAYOR COLBOURNE HAD ABOUT THE FUNDING ON THE LAP PROJECTS.

WE JUST IN THE CITY OF WESTON WE JUST HAD THIS DISCUSSION WITH MR. STUART.

AND I'M GLAD MR. BRAUN IS ON BECAUSE I JUST WANT TO BE FAIR TO EVERYBODY THAT MR. STUART HAS BEEN AN ADVOCATE BEYOND BELIEF.

I'M TRYING TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE LAP FUNDING AND IT IS A SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.

BUT I JUST WANT TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT, THAT MR. STUART HAS HAS HAD EXTENSIVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE CITY OF WESTON AND OUR ASSISTANT CITY MANAGER TRYING TO CORRECT OR FIND OR FIND A BETTER SOLUTION FOR ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES AS VICE MAYOR COLBOURNE SAID WHEN YOU HAVE THOSE BUDGETS IN THERE AND THEN SOMETHING HAPPENS TO THE FUNDING.

SO I JUST WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT.

THANK YOU STUART.

THANK YOU.

MR. CALETKA.

ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

I DON'T SEE ANY MORE HANDS UP.

I'LL GIVE A BRIEF MOMENT JUST IN CASE SOMEBODY WANTS TO PUT IN A QUESTION BEFORE WE MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.

BRYAN MR. CALETKA.

YEAH, I THINK I ACTUALLY I PULLED UP THE CORAL SPRINGS PROJECT.

AND JUST FOR COMMISSIONER SIMMONS TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON THE FIRST ONE BEING CORAL RIDGE DRIVE FROM ROYAL PALM BOULEVARD TO WYNDHAM CIRCLE, AND THAT'S ACTUALLY FUNDED IN 2021 AT SEVEN POINT ONE FIVE MILLION.

WE HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT IN CORAL SPRINGS CALLED CORAL RIDGE DRIVE FROM SOUTH GATE TO ROYAL PALM BOULEVARD FOR 21 AND SIX POINT SIX MILLION.

THERE IS A THIRD PROJECT ON NORTHWEST 39TH ST FROM CORAL RIDGE DRIVE TO NORTHWEST

[00:35:03]

AT THREE HUNDRED AND TEN THOUSAND.

THERE IS A FOURTH PROJECT AT UNIVERSITY DRIVE FROM NORTHWEST 28TH STREET TO STATE ROAD 84, WHICH IS SAMPLE ROAD AND THAT IS CONSTRUCTION AS ALL THE WAY.

IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S IN YEAR 2022 FOR TWO POINT FIVE EIGHT MILLION.

WE HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT IS UNIVERSITY DRIVE, SOUTH OF SOUTHGATE BOULEVARD TO NORTH RAMBLEWOOD, WHICH IS A MULTI-YEAR PROJECT WITH ENGINEERING AND THEN CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING STARTING IN TWENTY TWO, FOR, EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY MILLION OR EIGHT HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND AND CONSTRUCTION IN TWENTY FIVE FOR EIGHT POINT TWO MILLION.

WE HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT ON SAMPLE ROAD FROM UNIVERSITY TO BELMONT AND THAT HAS ENGINEERING IN 2021 AND 2022 FOR ABOUT FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS.

AND THEN CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS COME IN TWENTY FOUR FOR TWO POINT FIVE MILLION FOR A TOTAL OF TWO POINT NINE OR THREE MILLION DOLLARS IF YOU CALL IT SOME CHANGE.

ANOTHER PROJECT UNIVERSITY DERIVED FROM SAMPLE ROAD TO 40TH, AND THAT HAS CONSTRUCTION DOLLARS SCHEDULED FOR 2023 ONE POINT TWO MILLION.

WE HAVE ANOTHER PROJECT, THE UNIVERSITY DRIVE FROM 40TH TO THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

THAT'S A SERIES OF RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION AND THEN CONSTRUCTION FOR A PROJECT TOTAL OF TWENTY ONE POINT FIVE MILLION.

BUT OF THAT IN 2022, ONE POINT TWO MILLION IS RIGHT AWAY.

ACQUISITION 2023 STARTS CONSTRUCTION AND IS BASICALLY IS COMPLETE BY THE 2025 YEAR AND THEN TURNPIKE PROJECTS WE CAN GO INTO AS WELL.

BUT I'M GOING TO.

COMMISSIONER SIMMONS, DID YOU WANT TO TALK ABOUT TURNPIKE PROJECTS.

NO WE CAN LEAVE IT AT THAT.

AND SO THOSE PROJECTS, THAT'S FROM THE PREVIOUS LIST, CORRECT, OR THE PREVIOUS SETS? YES, THAT'S WHAT YOU ASKED WHAT WAS PROGRAMED.

RIGHT.

RIGHT, RIGHT.

I GUESS WHAT I WAS LOOKING AT WAS, I GUESS THIS.

LAST YEAR, I GUESS I'LL JUST HAVE TO DIG A LITTLE BIT MORE.

I'LL BE HONEST, THE BACKUP'S [INAUDIBLE] FULL OF INFORMATION, JUST TAKES A LITTLE BIT TO PARSE THROUGH.

AND SO I HAVE TO KIND OF LOOK AT THAT.

IF I HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS, IF I NEED TO EMAIL YOU ALL, I WILL.

YEAH, I WAS JUST TRYING TO LOOK AT PREVIOUS LISTS VERSUS KIND OF WHAT WE'RE GOING TO BE VOTING ON IN JUNE.

AND I WAS WONDERING.

HOPE THEY'LL ULTIMATELY FOR THE OTHER CITIES AS WELL.

YOU KNOW, IF THERE WERE CITIES WHO CONTINUE TO NOT HAVE PROJECTS FUNDED, I MEAN, I KNOW WE HAVE IN CORAL SPRINGS, BUT I WAS JUST CURIOUS AS TO, YOU KNOW, IF THERE ARE CITIES IN THE MPO THAT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO CONTINUE, YOU KNOW, HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO SECURE FUNDING FOR PROJECTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SO THAT'S JUST KIND OF WHAT I WOULD MY LINE OF THINKING.

BUT LIKE I SAID, IF I HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS AND I'LL CONTINUE TO LISTEN AND ALL THE MEETINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, I CAN ALWAYS EMAIL YOU ALL OR FOLLOW UP THAT WAY.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU, COMMISSIONER, AND OUR ENTIRE TEAM.

YOU KNOW, PART OF THAT IS THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND STAFF REQUESTS, YOU KNOW, TAKES AS PETER SAYS, IT'S ALWAYS THE NEW FIFTH YEAR.

I THINK MIKE ALSO SAID THAT, YOU KNOW, THAT WE ARE ALWAYS PROGRAMING FOR.

AND SO, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY PROJECTS, YOU KNOW, THEY TAKE TIME TO BAKE, BUT THEY ALSO TAKE TIME TO APPLY FOR AND, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE MULTIPLE PROCESSES FOR THAT TO OCCUR.

AND WE REALLY LOOK FORWARD TO, YOU KNOW, THE CITY TAKING, YOU KNOW, AS MUCH ADVANTAGE AS POSSIBLE OF THE FEDERAL PROCESS.

AND ONCE AGAIN, THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR SIMMONS, FOR YOUR QUESTIONS AND ANY TIME THAT YOU HAVE A QUESTION, WE REMAIN AVAILABLE.

THANK YOU, DR. CHEN, AND THANK YOU, MR. GIES FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION.

WE ARE MOVING ON TO THE SECOND WORKSHOP ITEM, WHICH IS THE BROWARD MPO

[2. Broward MPO Performance Measures Dashboard]

AND OUR RESIDENT EXPERT, MR. FLAVIEN IS GOING TO PRESENT.

THANK YOU, MR. CALETKA.

GOOD MORNING.

BOARD MEMBERS PAUL FLAVIEN, I'VE BEEN A SERVICES MANAGER FOR THE MPO AND ALSO THE STAFF MEMBER TASKED WITH MAKING SURE THAT THE MPO IT COMPLY WITH PERFORMANCE MEASURES THAT ARE FEDERALLY MANDATED.

THIS MORNING, THE ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO JUST SHOW YOU A PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD.

BUT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR HAS ALSO ASKED ME TO SHOW YOU WHAT WE CALL OUR STATE OF THE SYSTEMS REPORT.

SO THESE TWO WONDERFUL PRODUCTS THAT WE CREATE HERE AT THE MPO WE DO THEM ON A YEARLY BASIS.

WE UPDATE YEARLY WE STARTED BOTH OF THEM AROUND THE 2018 AND AGAIN, I'LL START WITH THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD AND I'LL TRANSITION OVER TO THE STATE OF THE SYSTEM REPORT.

SO WITH THAT FIRST THING YOU PROBABLY WANT TO KNOW, HOW DO YOU GET TO THE

[00:40:04]

RIGHT.

WELL, IF YOU GO TO OUR WEBSITE, YOU WOULD GO TO RESOURCES, YOU WOULD GO TO MY SIDEWALK.

THE REASON YOU GO TO MY SIDEWALK IS BECAUSE THIS IS THE PLATFORM THAT THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD IS BUILT ON.

AND YOU WOULD ALSO CLICK ON PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD.

YOU WOULD COME HERE AND ALSO CLICK ON THIS GREAT PICTURE OF THE BROWARD MPO LOGO.

AND FIRST PAGE YOU GET TO ESSENTIALLY TALKS ABOUT WHAT IS THE BROWARD MPO.

YOU KNOW, IT GOES INTO, YOU KNOW, WHAT WE ARE, WHAT OUR FUNCTIONS ARE, OUR VISION STATEMENT AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

IT GOES DOWN AND YOU HAVE SOME STATISTICS ABOUT THE MPO AREA.

ESSENTIALLY, THIS MAP IS BROKEN DOWN BY MUNICIPALITY.

SO YOU CAN JUST SCOOT OVER AND ACTUALLY SEE THE POPULATION OF THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES IN BROWARD NUMBER OF JOBS GO ALL THE WAY DOWN, POPULATION GROWTH, THINGS LIKE THAT, HOW THE MPO IS GOVERNED THINGS LIKE THAT.

THAT'S THE FIRST PAGE NOW THE SECOND PAGE YOU SEE TALKS ABOUT THE STATE OF SYSTEMS REPORT.

BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO THERE YET.

WE'RE GOING TO GO TO THE THIRD ICON HERE, WHERE IT SAYS SCORECARD.

NOW, IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE A SNAPSHOT OF WHERE THE MPO IS AS FAR AS PERFORMANCE MEASURES, YOU CAN JUST GO CLICK ON THE SCORECARD AND IT TELLS YOU AS YOU KNOW, AND WE ADOPTED SAFETY TARGETS IN JANUARY.

IF YOU REMEMBER, THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE, A VISION, ZERO TARGET.

SO YOU SEE, I MEAN, WE HAVEN'T MET THEM.

BUT IF YOU GO ALL THE WAY TO THE RIGHT ON THE ON THE TREND LINE, YOU COULD SEE THERE ARE CERTAIN TARGET MEASURES THAT WERE ACTUALLY TRENDING IN A GOOD DIRECTION AND SOME THAT WERE NOT RIGHT.

SO, AGAIN, THIS IS WHY WE KEEP WORKING AND WE KEEP PLANNING AND WE INCORPORATE THINGS LIKE SAFETY PROGRAM INTO THE MPO MPT AND FUNDING THOSE PROGRAMS. WE ACTUALLY HAVE, I THINK A COUPLE OF THOSE ACTUALLY WE'RE WORKING ON RIGHT NOW AND WE'RE ACTUALLY WORKING WITH FDOT TO ACTUALLY MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE DRIVING SAFETY, AS YOU KNOW, AS AN IMPORTANT THING FOR THE BROWARD REGION.

AND OF COURSE, ALL THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES, INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITIONS, WHICH IS ABOUT BRIDGE CONDITIONS AND PAVEMENT CONDITIONS, THOSE ARE FOUR YEAR MEASURES.

WE SET THOSE BACK, I THINK, IN 2018.

SO WE'LL PROBABLY BE REVISITING THOSE SOMETIME LATER THIS YEAR.

AS YOU CAN SEE, AGAIN, WE'RE TRENDING REALLY WELL IN THOSE MEASURES, EXCEPT FOR ONE WHICH IS [INAUDIBLE] PAVEMENT THAT IS IN GOOD CONDITION.

SYSTEM RELIABILITY ESSENTIALLY IS HOW RELIABLE THE INTERSTATE SYSTEM, HOW RELIABLE IS THE NON INTERSTATE SYSTEM AND HOW GOOD IS TRUCK TRAVEL TIME, RELIABILITY.

AGAIN, WE ARE GOOD.

WE ARE TRENDING IN A GOOD DIRECTION IN ALL OF THOSE.

WE ALSO HAVE TRANSIT ACTIVE MANAGEMENT.

THAT'S PART OF THE FGA PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

WE DON'T REALLY HAVE A TREND LINE ON THOSE YET, BUT WE'RE WORKING TO ACTUALLY GET THOSE IN FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT SAFETY.

THIS IS GOING BE ONE THAT YOU ADOPTED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN JANUARY.

AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME, AGAIN, WE HAVE NO HISTORICAL DATA ON THAT, ACTUALLY.

SO, AGAIN, THIS IS A SCORECARD.

IF YOU JUST WANT TO SEE WHERE WE'RE AT SNAPSHOT.

YOU GO THERE.

NOW, IF YOU WANTED TO REALLY DRILL DOWN INTO THE SAFETY PORTION YOU WOULD CLICK ON HERE AND IT WOULD TAKE YOU TO THE SAFETY PAGE.

AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS THAT WE HAVE, THE HEAT MAP OF THE CRASHES IN BROWARD.

NOW, THIS IS DATA FROM 2015 TO 2019 THIS A HEAT MAP OF THAT DATA.

NOW, ONE OF THE THINGS YOU CAN DO, THERE'S LIKE THREE MAPS HERE.

YOU CAN CLICK ON THE SECOND LITTLE BULLET HERE AND IT WILL TAKE YOU TO WHAT WE CALL WHAT WE CALL IS A HIGH INJURY NETWORK.

ESSENTIALLY, THESE ARE THE ROADWAY SEGMENTS OF ROADWAY WHERE YOU HAVE A LOT OF ESSENTIALLY FLAT OUT FATAL INJURIES AND SERIOUS INJURY OR INCAPACITATING INJURIES, SERIOUS INJURIES.

AND THEN IF YOU CLICK THE THIRD ONE HERE, WHAT IT SHOWS YOU IT DRILLS DOWN EVEN DEEPER INTO THE ACTUAL SEGMENTS YOU CAN CLICK ON HERE AND IT'LL TELL YOU, FOR EXAMPLE, YOU HAD SEVEN TOTAL CRASHES, FOUR FATAL THREE SERIOUS.

AND ONE OF THE REALLY, REALLY GOOD THINGS ABOUT THESE DASHBOARD AND THIS IS ONE OF THE THINGS I STRESS WHEN I PRESENTED THIS TO [INAUDIBLE] IS IF YOU CLICK ON THIS LITTLE ICON HERE, YOU CAN ACTUALLY DOWNLOAD THE DATA THAT'S INCLUDED IN THE MAP AND THE GIS YOU KNOW, AS A PICTURE, YOU CAN INCLUDE IN THE PRESENTATION OR, YOU KNOW, TAKE THE INFORMATION AND DO YOUR OWN ANALYSIS ON IT, SO IT'S REALLY, REALLY COOL.

ONE OTHER COOL THING YOU COULD DO WITH THIS ACTUALLY IS YOU CAN HIT THIS BUTTON HERE AND IT ACTUALLY GOES ALL THE WAY UP AND YOU CAN ZOOM IN AND SEE, YOU KNOW.

KNOW EXACTLY WHERE SOME OF THOSE CRASHES HAPPENED, SO.

[00:45:02]

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DO WITH THIS DASHBOARD IS WE MAKE SURE THAT SINCE BROWARD IS PART OF A MIAMI URBANIZED AREA WHICH WHICH IS ON THE INCLUDES THE PALM BEACH TPA AND MIAMI DADE TPO WE WANT TO SEE HOW WE'RE DOING IN COMPARISON TO THOSE OTHER TWO MPOS THAT ARE IN OUR URBANIZED AREA.

AND YOU CAN SEE BROWARD IS BLACK, MIAMI-DADE IS BLUE, PALM BEACH IS GREEN.

NOW, IF YOU JUST WANTED TO SEE BROWARD.

YOU CAN JUST COME DOWN HERE AND CLICK ON THIS AND WE MOVE THEM AND SEE HOW WE'RE DOING.

YOU KNOW, NOW THIS IS SHOWING A BAD SIGNAL.

WE'RE TRENDING UP FOR ACTUALLY FOR FATAL INJURIES, FIVE YEAR PERIOD.

SO THAT'S NOT NECESSARILY A GOOD THING TO SEE.

SO ONE OF THE OTHER THINGS YOU COULD DO IF YOU WANTED TO SEE THE ANNUAL ALL THE ANNUAL DATA THAT WE HAVE FOR FATALITIES IN BROWARD, THIS GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO 2006.

AND THE LATEST DATA THAT WE HAVE MADE IT VERY POSITIVE THAT WE HAVE A SHIPMENT THAT WAS 2019.

SO THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE PASS RATE AND ALL THESE OTHER THINGS.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID AS WELL, WHEN THE BIG ISSUES IN BROWARD ACTUALLY IS HEAD AND BIKE INJURIES.

SO WE ALSO HAD A HIGH INJURY NETWORK DEVELOPED THAT MAP FOR SPECIFICALLY BIKE IMPAIRED FATALITIES AND SERIOUS INJURIES.

SO THIS IS WHAT YOU SEE HERE.

AND AGAIN, YOU CAN VIEW OUR STATS OR YOU CAN COME IN AND CLICK ON THIS ICON AND YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ANY INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT FROM THIS MAP AND BE ABLE TO ANALYZE IT.

OR IF YOU JUST WANT A PICTURE TO PUT IN A PRESENTATION, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD IT AS A PICTURE IN AND USE IT AND USE IT FOR THAT.

NOW, WE ARE GOING TO PAY YOU ESSENTIALLY FOR EVERY ONE OF THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE AREAS, INFRASTRUCTURE CONDITIONS.

THIS MAP HERE SHOWS YOU THE BRIDGES THAT ARE IN GOOD CONDITION, FAIR CONDITION, AND POOR CONDITION.

NOW YOU SEE A WHOLE LOT OF GREEN IN BROWARD, A LITTLE BIT OF YELLOW, WHICH IS FAIR AND HARDLY ANY RED.

SO WE'RE REALLY IN GOOD SHAPE AS FAR AS BRIDGE CONDITIONS IN BROWARD.

WE ALSO HAVE A MAP FOR PAVEMENT CONDITIONS.

AGAIN, GREEN IS GOOD.

YELLOW IS FAIR RED IS BAD.

WE DON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT OF RED IN BROWARD.

SO AGAIN, THAT'S THAT'S REALLY, REALLY GOOD IN THE STATE [INAUDIBLE] ACTUALLY.

AND AGAIN, ANOTHER THING THAT WE DO, WE COMPARE OURSELVES TO OUR NEIGHBORS, MIAMI-DADE AND PALM BEACH COUNTY.

SO YOU SEE THAT THERE WE DO THE SAME THING FOR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE, WHICH IS AGAIN TRAVEL TIME RELIABILITY AND TRUCK TRAVEL TIME RELIABILITY.

WE HAVE DATA GOING, YOU KNOW, INTERSTATE TRAVEL TIME NOW.

I KNOW THAT WE HAD THAT TRANSIT ASSET MANAGEMENT NOW FOR THE TRANSIT ASSET MANAGER.

OBVIOUSLY, WE ONLY HAVE TO WHAT ARE CALLED TIER ONE TRANSIT AGENCIES IN BROWARD, WHICH IS [INAUDIBLE] IN BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT.

SO WE HAVE THAT INFORMATION HERE.

WHAT WE DO IS WE TAKE THAT DATA AND WE OUR PERFORMANCE TARGET IS ACTUALLY A REGIONAL TARGET WHICH INCORPORATES THAT GOING TO INDIVIDUAL TARGETS INTO ONE.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE HERE.

AND YOU ALSO MENTIONED ABOUT HOW MUCH ROLLING STOCK THEY HAVE AND ALL THIS YOU KNOW, THIS INFORMATION, AGAIN, ALL OF THIS DATA IS ABLE TO BE DOWNLOADED AND USE BY YOUR STAFF OR BY YOU TO BE ABLE TO DO WHAT YOU WANT TO DO.

AND AGAIN, WE HAVE THE SAME THING FOR PUBLIC TRANSIT SAFETY, WHICH IS THE LATEST PERFORMANCE MEASURE THAT WOULD REQUIRE YOU TO LOOK AT NOW, ESSENTIALLY WRAPS UP THE PERFORMANCE MEASURE DASHBOARD.

NOW, WHAT WE'LL DO NOW IS TRANSITION OVER TO THE STATE OF THE SYSTEM REPORT.

NOW, THERE'S A COUPLE OF WAYS YOU CAN GET TO IT.

YOU CAN GO TO OUR WEBSITE AND NAVIGATE TO IT, OR YOU COULD STAY HERE IN THE PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT DASHBOARD AND CLICK ON THE SECOND, YOU KNOW, ICON HERE AND YOU GO ALL THE WAY DOWN.

AND INTERESTED IN LEARNING MORE ABOUT BROWARD TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND YOU CLICK HERE AND IT WOULD TAKE YOU.

RIGHT HERE TO OUR SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REPORT.

NOW THE SYSTEM PERFORMANCE REPORT IS A SNAPSHOT OF ALL OF OUR MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, NOT JUST WHAT WE'RE REQUIRED TO DO FOR PERFORMANCE MEASURES, BUT IT ALSO INCLUDES AIRPORTS, SEAPORTS, LAND FREIGHTS, ALL THIS INFORMATION.

WE HAVE STATISTICS ABOUT HOW MANY FLIGHTS ARE COMING IN AND OUT OF [INAUDIBLE] AIRPORT, HOW MUCH GOODS AND SERVICES ARE MOVED OUT OF PORT EVERGLADES CRUISE PASSENGERS, ALL KINDS OF INFORMATION LIKE THAT.

SO, AGAIN, THIS IS THE FIRST PAGE SEE OUR [INAUDIBLE] THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ON THERE, ALONG WITH THE LITTLE BLURB ABOUT WHY THIS REPORT IS SO GREAT.

[00:50:04]

IT IS [INAUDIBLE] GET AN OVERVIEW OF BROWARD THE LAND USE, POPULATION, EMPLOYMENT TALKS A LOT ABOUT HOW IS THE COMMUTING AND HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION AFFORDABILITY, NOW AGAIN MOST OF THE DATA THAT WE'RE USING AND A LOT OF DATA THAT WE'RE USING FOR THE OVERVIEW IS FROM THE CENSUS AMERICAN COMMUNITY SURVEY.

THE LATEST THAT WE HAVE NOW IS THE 2019.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE HERE.

AND THEN IT GETS INTO THE HEART OF THE REPORT.

RIGHT.

OUR ROADWAY SYSTEM.

HOW STATISTICS ABOUT THAT, THE TRANSIT SYSTEM, AGAIN, WE'VE ALSO INCORPORATED PERFORMANCE MEASURES INTO IT.

BUT AGAIN, IT'S MORE THAN THAT.

WE HAVE STATISTICS ABOUT OUR ENTIRE MULTIMODAL TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, AIRPORTS, SEAPORTS, WATERWAY, LAND FREIGHTS, ALL OF THAT.

SO, AGAIN, WHAT WE REALLY WANTED TO DO IS HAVE IT IN A VISUALLY GRAPHIC WAY, YOU KNOW, VISUALLY PLEASING THAT WAY.

AND THE INFORMATION IS NOT NOT A WHOLE LOT OF WORDS, BUT A LOT OF GOOD GRAPHICS.

WHERE THE INFORMATION THAT WE WANT TO CONVEY IS RIGHT THERE FOR YOU TO SEE.

AND YOU GET IT LIKE HERE RIGHT.

[INAUDIBLE] INCOME SPENT ON HOUSING BOOM, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE INFORMATION RIGHT THERE YOU SEE IT, YOU'RE GOOD.

TALKS ABOUT OUR ROADWAYS, TALKS ABOUT ROADWAY SAFETY.

TALKS ABOUT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY SYSTEM AGAIN WE INCORPORATED PERFORMANCE MEASURES IN THERE, BUT AGAIN, IT GOES BEYOND THAT, OUR TRANSIT SYSTEM, THE NUMBER OF BUS RIDES, THE RIDERSHIP FOR BOTH BCT [INAUDIBLE] THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES RELATED TO THAT.

TRANSIT SAFETY, BIKE AND PEDESTRIAN INFORMATION.

AGAIN, WE IN THIS REPORT PUT IN THE TOP TEN INJURY NETWORK CORRIDORS FOR BIKING, PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES IN BROWARD AND WE ESSENTIALLY RANKED THEM HERE IN HERE.

SO YOU CAN GO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT.

WE HAVE AGAIN INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CSLIP PROGRAM, OUR CAP PROGRAM, OUR AIRPORTS.

INFORMATION ABOUT OUR SEAPORTS, HOW ARE WE DOING AS FAR AS AN AIRPORT COMPARED TO OTHER MAJOR AIRPORTS IN THE COUNTRY? HOW PORT EVERGLADES IS DOING IN TERMS OF IT'S BUSINESS LINES, YOU KNOW, HOW MUCH OF IT YOU KNOW, HOW IT BREAKS IT DOWN HERE BY A [INAUDIBLE] FOOD PRODUCTS AND THINGS LIKE THAT, HOW ARE THEY DOING IN TERMS OF ALL OF THE BUSINESS LINES THAT THEY HAVE? AND AGAIN TALK ABOUT LAND FREIGHTS, WE TALK ABOUT OUR PERFORMANCE MEASURES.

AGAIN INCORPORATING EVERYTHING TYING IN EVERYTHING SEAMLESSLY ONE INTO THE OTHER.

SO IT'S A SHORT REPORT, YOU KNOW, BASICALLY TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE PAGES.

WE HAD NOT ANTICIPATED PRINTING IT FOR THIS YEAR BECAUSE OF COVID.

BUT I THINK WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY THROUGH OUR MIO TEAM THAT WE'D PROBABLY BE ABLE TO PRINT THIS REPORT.

SO IF ANY OF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ACTUALLY GETTING THIS REPORT, PLEASE CONTACT EITHER ME OR CAROL HENDERSON OUR DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT AND GOVERNMENT OUTREACH HERE AND WE'LL SEE IF WE CAN GET YOU A REPORT.

SO WITH THAT, I THINK I'M DONE.

AND ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE, I'LL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO TAKE.

THANK YOU, MR. FLAVIEN, ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS FROM OUR POLICY BOARD FOR THIS PRESENTATION? ALL RIGHT, I DON'T SEE ANY SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION, IT WAS VERY INFORMATIVE IN SHOWING OUR BOARD HOW TO ACCESS THIS INFORMATION SO THEY CAN LET THEIR MUNICIPALITY KNOW AND YOUR COLLEAGUES KNOW ON THE DATA.

I DO SEE THERE WAS A QUESTION SNUCK IN VICE MAYOR CARN.

THANK YOU.

MR. CALETKA.

I WANTED TO BEGIN MY REMARKS ON THIS ONE BY SAYING THAT ARE THE GOALS THAT WE SET IN THE PERFORMANCE MEASURES TO REMIND US THAT OUR COMPANY IS NAMED MPO AND NOT GOD? SETTING A GOAL OF ZERO IS UNREALISTIC TO ME, SO I WANT TO KNOW HOW WE COME UP WITH SUCH A GOAL AND HOW DOES THAT THAT'S NOT MEETING THAT GOAL.

DOES THAT AFFECT ANYTHING ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION? ACTUALLY THAT IS AN EXCELLENT QUESTION, BECAUSE WHEN WE WERE FIRST SETTING THE VISION ZERO GOAL, WELL, ACTUALLY WHAT WE WANTED TO ESSENTIALLY SUPPORT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND THE VISION ZERO GOAL.

THERE WAS A ROBUST CONVERSATION HAD ABOUT THIS PARTICULAR TOPIC WITH OUR TAC AND WITH THE BOARD.

ESSENTIALLY, IT BOILS DOWN TO THIS COMMISSIONER, HOW MANY DEATHS ARE ACCEPTABLE TO THE MPO? AND THAT WAS THAT QUESTION WAS POSED.

[00:55:02]

MY HEART, BUT IF I'M ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO'S AN IRRESPONSIBLE DRIVER, I INTENTIONALLY LOAD UP BEFORE I GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AND RUN OFF THE STREET AND DIE.

THAT'S NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY.

I DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE TO THESE GOALS.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A YEAR AFTER YEAR.

AND WE SAW THE TRENDS GOING UPWARD.

IT'S JUST GOING TO BE A YEAR AFTER YEAR.

WE DON'T NEED IT.

AND WHAT DOES THAT SAY? WE'RE NOT DOING A GOOD JOB.

WELL, THAT'S WHY.

THAT'S WHY, ACTUALLY, IT'S NOT JUST OUR EFFORT FDOT IS PUTTING IN A ROBUST EFFORT IN ACTUALLY.

EDUCATION OF DRIVERS, AS YOU CAN SEE, YOU DRIVE DOWN A MAJOR ROAD OR INTERSTATE, YOU WILL SEE SIGNAGE ESSENTIALLY SAYING YOU KNOW DRIVE [INAUDIBLE] THERE'S THE EDUCATION COMPONENT TO IT.

BUT THERE'S ALSO THINGS THAT WE CAN DO AS FAR AS MAYBE OUR ROADWAY GEOGRAPHIES THAT WE CAN CHANGE.

WE COULD STUDY ROADWAYS WHERE WE SEE A LOT OF, YOU KNOW, CRASHES AND CAN SEE WHAT CAN WE ACTUALLY DO AND WE'RE DOING THAT WITH THE FIRST PART OF THE MTP.

THAT'S ONE OF THE PROGRAMS THAT YOU AS A COMMISSIONER ON OUR BOARD, YOU FUNDED.

AND WE'RE ACTUALLY DOING THAT.

FDOT IS DOING THAT, WE'RE DOING THAT.

SO IT'S A WHOLE EFFORT THAT WE'RE PUTTING TOGETHER TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO BEND THAT CURVE IN ANY SHAPE BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT.

WE MAY NEVER BE ABLE TO GET TO ZERO, BUT THE WHOLE POINT OF IT IS TO ACTUALLY MAKE A CONCERTED EFFORT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE TRYING TO BEND THAT CURVE DOWN AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE YEAR OVER YEAR NUMBERS, MOST OF THE SAFETY TARGETS WERE ACTUALLY SEEING A TREND, YOU KNOW, EITHER LEVELING OR TRYING TO COME DOWN TO THE RATE OF FATALITIES, RATE OF SERIOUS INJURIES GOING DOWN, THE RATE OF SERIOUS INJURIES AND FATALITIES BY COMPARED IS ACTUALLY TRENDING DOWN AS WELL.

SO NOW WE HAVE TO DO, LIKE YOU SAID, A BETTER JOB OF WHETHER IT'S EDUCATION OR WHETHER ROADWAY DESIGN OR WHATEVER IT IS TO ACTUALLY GET TO WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY GET ALL OF THOSE FROM PERFORMANCE MEASURES AREAS TO ACTUALLY COME DOWN.

AND AGAIN, IT'S GOING TO TAKE ALL OF US SHOWED ME THREE ARROWS THAT WERE TRENDING UP.

AND THAT JUST SAYS TO ME THAT MY EFFORTS ARE NOT GOOD OR I THOUGHT THEY WOULD PRODUCE, THEY'RE NOT PRODUCING THE RESULTS THAT I THOUGHT THEY WOULD PRODUCE.

SO I WOULD RECOMMEND THAT WE GO BACK AND HAVE THAT DISCUSSION WITH THIS BOARD TO HELP US UNDERSTAND.

I LIKE TO UNDERSTAND AND I DON'T SEE HOW WE DON'T HAVE ANY RED ON PAVEMENT CONDITIONS.

DRIVING IN BROWARD IS HORRIBLE.

I'M JUST GOING TO SAY IT.

I'M A MEMBER OF THE MPO.

I HAVE TO GO THROUGH HOLES THE ROADS ARE HORRIBLE IN BROWARD AND MOST CASES WHERE I DRIVE, I DON'T DRIVE EVERYWHERE, BUT MOST OF THE PLACES I DRIVE THE ROADS ARE HORRIBLE.

SO I DON'T KNOW HOW WE HAD NO RED MARKS THERE.

[INAUDIBLE] COMMISSIONER WE WE'LL BE BRINGING PERFORMANCE MEASURES TO YOU ON A YEARLY BASIS AND AGAIN, AT THAT TIME, WE ABSOLUTELY CAN HAVE THAT CONVERSATION ABOUT, YOU KNOW, WHERE WE NEED TO GO, WHERE WE NEED TO BE AS FAR AS THOSE MEASURES.

ABSOLUTELY.

I THINK THAT'S A WORKSHOP ITEM FOR A LATER DATE I RECOMMEND IT.

OK.

YES, ABSOLUTELY.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

I KNOW THAT EVERY TIME THIS HAS COME UP, IT HAS GENERATED ROBUST CONVERSATION AMONG THE BOARD MEMBERS AND TODAY IS NO DIFFERENCE.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS ON.

NEXT QUESTION IS FOR MAYOR GANZ.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO MY COLLEAGUE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND AS AN MPO MEMBER I'M NOT COMFORTABLE BECAUSE STAFF JUST LAID IT OUT.

THE GOAL IS THAT IS HOW MANY DEATHS ARE TOLERABLE, I GUESS YOU COULD SAY, I BELIEVE THAT WAS THE QUOTE FOR THE MPO, AND AS FAR AS I'M CONCERNED, IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE ZERO OR ACCEPTABLE.

I BELIEVE WAS THE TERM IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE ZERO.

WE'RE NOT GOING TO ACHIEVE THAT BECAUSE THERE ARE THINGS THAT CERTAINLY ARE OUT OF OUR CONTROL BUT IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE ZERO.

I WOULD NEVER WANT TO GO ON RECORD SAYING THAT I THINK FIVE IS AN ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT

[01:00:04]

SO AS A BOARD MEMBER, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THAT EVEN LINE OF QUESTIONING WOULD COME UP.

IS IT AN UNATTAINABLE GOAL? CERTAINLY WITH CIRCUMSTANCES OUT OF OUR CONTROL? YES, PROBABLY.

MOST LIKELY.

BUT I WOULD NEVER WANT TO GO ON RECORD AND SAY I'M OK WITH THIS AMOUNT OF DEATHS IN ORDER TO MEET SOME MAGICAL MYSTERY LINE TO JUDGE HOW WELL YOU DO IN THIS POSITION.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE LINE OF QUESTION WITH ALL DUE RESPECT.

I DID NOT I WASN'T HERE WHEN THE ZERO GOAL WAS SET.

I DID NOT SAY THAT I HAVE AN ACCEPTABLE NUMBER.

I WANTED US AS A BOARD SINCE WE'RE IN A WORKSHOP TO UNDERSTAND THAT THE DERIVATION, THE PHILOSOPHY AND MR. FLAVIEN EXPLAINED IT TO US.

AND I DID SAY, I KNOW WE COULD NEVER MEET IT.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT I HAD TO SAY ABOUT IT, AND THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP.

ALL RIGHT, I APPRECIATE EVERYBODY'S COMMENTS ON THAT STAFF HAS TAKEN NOTE OF YOUR COMMENTS, AND IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DECISION OF THE POLICY BOARD AND IT WILL BE REVISITED.

AND WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION ON THIS ISSUE.

MOVING ON TO THE NEXT PRESENTATION, WE ACTUALLY HAVE A TAG TEAM TODAY.

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

MS. MACNEIL.

HI, GOOD MORNING, THANK YOU.

CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME? YES, MA'AM.

ALL RIGHT.

SO MY NAME IS KERRIE MACNEIL.

I AM TAKING OVER FOR [INAUDIBLE] AS THE CSLIP MANAGER.

SO TODAY WE HAVE A PRESENTATION ON THE CSLIP PROGRAM UPDATES AND AN INTRODUCTION OF THE REVISED EVALUATION CRITERIA.

THANK YOU.

SO WHY ARE WE HERE AGAIN? PROVIDING AN UPDATE ON THE COMPLETE STREETS AND OTHER LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM OR CSLIP WE'RE GOING TO SHARE THE PROPOSED REVISED CSLIP EVALUATION CRITERIA AND OF COURSE, GATHER INPUT AND COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD BEFORE SEEKING ADOPTION.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

OK, RECAP A LITTLE REFRESHER, WHAT IS CSLIP THE MPOS COMPLETE STREETS AND OTHER LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM PROVIDES FUNDING FOR SMALL LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS WHICH IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND MOBILITY FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION USERS IN BROWARD COUNTY.

WHAT TYPES OF PROJECTS DOES CLSIP FUND? CSLIP THE COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM CAN FUND PROJECTS SUCH AS COMPLETE STREETS SAFETY AND SECURITY PROJECTS, SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES AND TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS.

SO TO DATE, THERE WERE 18 PROJECTS AWARDED TO 10 DIFFERENT AGENCIES IN CYCLE ONE, WHICH I BELIEVE WAS BACK IN 2016 FOR A TOTAL OF THIRTY SIX AND A HALF MILLION DOLLARS, CYCLED TO 12 PROJECTS, WERE AWARDED TO 10 AGENCIES FOR A TOTAL OF THIRTY THREE POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

AND CYCLE THREE 15 PROJECTS WERE AWARDED TO 13 DIFFERENT AGENCIES FOR A TOTAL OF THIRTY ONE POINT NINE MILLION DOLLARS.

THE CSLIP PROCESS STARTS WITH APPLICATION DEVELOPMENT, THE MPO MEETS WITH APPLICANTS BEFORE THEY SUBMIT AND THERE'S A WORKSHOP HELD EVERY CYCLE.

THEN, OF COURSE, THE APPLICANT SUBMITS THE PROJECT.

THERE'S A SIX WEEK WINDOW OPEN FOR SUBMITTAL AND THEN EVALUATION AND RANKING BEGINS AFTER THAT PRELIMINARY PRIORITY LIST IS APPROVED BY THE BOARD.

AND THEN THE VETTING PROCESS BEGINS WITH FDOT.

AND THEN LAST IS THE PROGRAMING STEP NEXT SLIDE PLEASE.

OK, SO WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS PROGRAM UPDATES.

WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT THE POLICIES THE LAST TIME THE POLICIES WERE UPDATED WERE ALMOST A YEAR AGO, JUNE 2020.

SO WE ARE TAKING A LOOK AT THOSE POLICIES AND SEEING WHAT NEEDS TO BE REVISED SO THAT WE HAVE CONSISTENCY WITH THE NEW EVALUATION CRITERIA.

AND, OF COURSE, MR. GIES MENTIONED EARLIER THIS MORNING THE TRANSITION TO DELIVERING PROJECTS VIA LAP.

WE ARE ALSO INTERNALIZING THE CSLIP APPLICATION.

IT'LL STILL BE AN ONLINE FILLABLE APPLICATION.

AND WE HAVE A TEAM [INAUDIBLE] WORKING ON DEVELOPING A NEW EVALUATION TOOL IN HOUSE.

OK, SO WE'RE 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.

AND THE PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS WILL ALSO INCORPORATE LESSONS LEARNED

[01:05:03]

THE CURRENT THEMES IN CSLIP EVALUATION CRITERIA ARE SAFETY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, CONNECTIVITY AND MOBILITY, AND WE ARE MERGING WITH THE MTP THEMES OF MOBILITY, ACCESSIBILITY, SAFETY, EQUITY, ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND ECONOMIC VITALITY.

OK, SO YOU'LL SEE THOSE SIX THEMES ON THE LEFT AGAIN HERE IN THIS TABLE, SO THIS IS A SUMMARY TABLE OF THE THEMES AND THEN THE CORRESPONDING CRITERIA THAT WE ARE PROPOSING TO USE.

AND THEN IN THE RIGHT HAND COLUMN FURTHEST TO THE RIGHT IS THE PROPOSED WEIGHTING OF THAT CRITERIA.

SO I'LL GO OVER THIS BRIEFLY AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE'LL HAVE TIME FOR QUESTIONS AFTER THE PRESENTATION.

SO WITH THE THEME OF SAFETY, WE'RE LOOKING AT CRASH DATA, SPECIFICALLY THE HIGH INJURY NETWORK DATA, WHICH AGAIN IS CRASHES THAT RESULT IN INCAPACITATING INJURIES OR DEATHS, AND LOOKING AT BOTH VEHICULAR AND NON VEHICULAR MEANING PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE .

ACCESSIBILITY LOOKING AT CONNECTION TO EXISTING FACILITIES, HOSPITALS, LOCATIONS OF HOSPITALS, PUBLIC LIBRARIES, CITY HALLS, PARKS, PUBLIC SCHOOLS, ALSO PUBLIC COLLEGES AND PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES, TRANSIT STOP LOCATIONS AND POPULATION DENSITY.

NOW MOVING TO THE MEDIUM WEIGHT, LOOKING AT EQUITY, SPECIFICALLY THE COMPOSITE EQUITY SCORE FROM THE MPOS TITLE SIX TRANSPORTATION PLANNING EQUITY ASSESSMENT AND THAT COMPOSITE SCORE TAKES INTO ACCOUNT THE POPULATION LIVING BELOW POVERTY LEVEL.

THE OLDER ADULTS MEANING SIXTY FIVE PLUS ETHNIC MINORITIES, RACIAL MINORITIES, POPULATIONS WITH LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY, POPULATIONS WITH DISABILITIES AND YOUTH.

AND THEN ALSO LOOKING AT ZERO CAR HOUSEHOLDS.

MOBILITY, ASSESSING THE TRAFFIC VOLUME PER LANE ON BOTH STATE ROADWAYS [INAUDIBLE] AND THEN ECONOMIC FATALITY.

LOOKING AT THE REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTER, SPECIFICALLY THREE OF MTP KEY ACTIVITY CENTERS.

SO THAT'S MOBILITY HUBS, CANDIDATE MOBILITY HUBS, COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AREAS OR CRAS.

AND BROWARD NEXT ACTIVITY CENTERS ALSO LOOKING AT EMPLOYMENT DENSITY.

AND THE LAST ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP, USING THE DATA FROM THE BROWARD MPOS EXTREME WEATHER AND CLIMATE CHANGE RISK TO THE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM AND BROWARD COUNTY REPORT.

SO SPECIFICALLY USING THE REGIONALLY IDENTIFIED VULNERABLE CORRIDORS FROM THAT REPORT AND DOWN AT THE VERY BOTTOM, NEXT TO THE ASTERISK IS SPONSOR READINESS.

SO WE ARE CONSIDERING ADDITIONAL CRITERIA TO MEASURE THE ABILITY AND COMMITMENT OF LOCAL AGENCIES TO DELIVER PROJECTS, AND THAT WILL HAVE MORE OF A LOW RATE.

AND THAT INCLUDES THINGS LIKE OFFERING BONUS POINTS FOR PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY INCLUDED IN THE MPO APPROVED PLAN, THINGS LIKE THAT.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

OK, SO OUR NEXT STEPS ARE TO CONTINUE TO WORK TOWARDS FINALIZING THE EVALUATION CRITERIA, WEIGHTING AND SCORING, TO REVISE THE POLICIES, AND THEN TO PRESENT TO THE TAC AND CAC THE RECOMMENDATION OF REVISED POLICIES, RECOMMENDATION OF ADOPTION OF THIS REVISED POLICIES BY THE MPO BOARD IN JUNE 2020 AND THEN COME TO THE BOARD IN JULY 2 1.

AND THAT'S IT.

SO IF ANYBODY HAS ANY QUESTIONS, I AM HERE.

OK, I SEE NO HANDS RAISED, SO THANK YOU FOR YOUR GREAT PRESENTATION, MS. MACNEIL, AND WE'LL MOVE ON TO MR. BLUE.

THANK YOU.

WELL, THANK YOU SO MUCH, MR. CALETKA, AND GOOD MORNING, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN OF THE BOARD.

MY NAME IS CHADWICK BLUE.

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

AND THIS MORNING, I'M HERE TO GIVE THE BOARD A BRIEF UPDATE ON THE MOBILITY HUB PROGRAM AND DISCUSS SOMETHING SIMILAR AS TO WHAT MS. MACNEIL HAD JUST PRESENTED REGARDING UPDATED EVALUATION, SCORING AND CRITERIA.

SO.

WELL, I GUESS I JUST ALREADY SPOKE ABOUT THAT.

BUT AGAIN, YES, WITH THIS SLIDE UPDATING THE BOARD I WANT TO SHARE THE EVALUATION

[01:10:04]

NEXT SLIDE.

SO, FIRST OF ALL, I WANTED TO START OFF AND BRIEFLY TALK ABOUT WHAT IS MOBILITY HUB.

SO A MOBILITY HUB IS EXISTING TRANSIT ACCESS POINTS.

AND THAT'S JUST KIND OF A FANCY WAY OF SAYING WE LOOK AT THE CONCENTRATED AREAS OF TRANSIT ACTIVITIES WHERE THERE'S HIGH ONBOARDING TRIP GENERATION, ALL THAT GOOD STUFF.

WE LOOK WHERE ALL THE TRANSIT RIDERS ARE GOING.

AND WE ALSO LOOK AT, YOU KNOW, WE TRY TO PLACE THE MOBILITY HUBS IN AREAS OF EITHER HIGH DEVELOPMENT ALREADY EXISTING OR IN AREAS THAT HAVE HIGH REDEVELOPMENT POTENTIAL THEMSELVES AND JUST QUITE HAVEN'T MAYBE BEEN DEVELOPED OUT YET.

NEXT SLIDE.

OK.

AND SO THIS RIGHT HERE, THIS IS IN DOWNTOWN FORT LAUDERDALE.

THIS IS AT NORTHWEST SECOND STREET.

AND THIS IS PART OF THE THREE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLAR MOBILITY HUB PROJECT THAT WE RECENTLY COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION ON.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE FROM YOU KNOW, THE EXISTING STREET PRIOR, IT WAS DESIGNED ENTIRELY AROUND CARS.

YOU KNOW, IF YOU'VE GOT A BUNCH OF VEHICLES, YOU'VE GOT TWO LANES GOING DOWN TO A DEAD END ROAD THERE.

SO NEXT SLIDE.

THIS IS THE AFTER PHOTO OF THE PROJECT THAT I JUST MENTIONED, NOW THAT WE'VE COMPLETED IT AND AS PART OF THE IMPROVEMENTS, THIS AREA IS ABOUT FOUR SQUARE BLOCKS.

AND AS YOU SEE, WE HAVE WIDER SIDEWALKS.

WE HAVE PROTECTED BICYCLE LANES, LED PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING, SHADE TREES AND LANDSCAPING THAT WERE INSTALLED.

AND IT REALLY, REALLY TRANSFORMED THE AREA.

AND THE REASON WE SELECTED THIS AREA IN PARTICULAR IS BECAUSE, AS I MENTIONED, HIGH CONCENTRATION OF EXISTING TRANSIT ACTIVITIES.

YOU HAVE THE CENTRAL BROWARD COUNTY BUS TERMINAL LOCATED THERE THAT HAS ONBOARDING AND OFFBOARDING FOR TRI- RAIL SHUTTLES AND OTHER LOCAL COMMUNITY SHUTTLES.

YOU ALSO HAVE BRIGHTLINE RIGHT ACROSS THE TRACKS AND THE POTENTIAL FOR THE TRI RAIL COASTAL LINK STAFF TO BE IN THIS AREA AND ALONG WITH ALL OF THE SCOOTERS AND [INAUDIBLE] CYCLES THAT ARE ALL AROUND THIS AREA.

SO WE THOUGHT THAT THIS WOULD BE A GREAT AREA TO TRY TO IMPROVE THE PEDESTRIAN EXPERIENCE BY OFFERING SAFE CONNECTIONS TO ALL THESE TRANSIT AMENITIES.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THIS IS A LIST OF THE CURRENT MOBILITY PROJECTS THAT THE BROWARD MPO IS WORKING ON.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE HAVE QUITE A FEW SOME ARE IN THE PROCESS OF DEVELOPING THE MOBILITY HUB MASTER PLAN AND OTHERS ARE MOVING TOWARDS CONSTRUCTION.

SO, AS I MENTIONED, FORT LAUDERDALE, IT'S JUST COMPLETED CONSTRUCTION.

THIS PHOTO ON THE RIGHT IS AT STATE ROAD SEVEN AND HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.

THERE'S A MOBILITY HUB IN HOLLYWOOD THAT WILL BE GOING UNDER CONSTRUCTION, HOPEFULLY IN THE FALL IF ALL GOES WELL WITH PROCUREMENTS WE ARE VERY EXCITED ABOUT THAT.

AND IT WILL INCLUDE PEDESTRIAN LIGHTING, NEW SHELTERS AND SOME OTHER PEDESTRIAN AMENITIES.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

AND THIS SLIDE JUST TALKS ABOUT A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE PROCESS INVOLVED IN GOING THROUGH MOBILITY ENTAILS AND SO IN THE BEGINNING WE DO A PLANNING FRAMEWORK THAT INCLUDES A MARKET ANALYSIS.

WE LOOK AT EXISTING SITE CONDITIONS, AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS THAT WE DO IS WE DO A LOT OF PUBLIC OUTREACH AS A PART OF THAT.

I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE WHEN PLANNERS COME INTO COMMUNITIES AND TELL THE LOCAL COMMUNITY WHAT THEY NEED.

SO WE MAKE SURE TO, AS I MENTIONED, DO THE OUTREACH HEAR WHAT THEY WANT TO DO, AND THEN WE MOVE FORWARD IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PLAN.

AND SO, AS YOU SEE, THAT THEN GETS YOU INTO THE MASTER PLAN WHERE YOU START TO WORK ON YOUR DESIGN CONCEPTS, YOU GET TO DO FUN STUFF WITH NEPA AND NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, AND THEN THAT MOVES US ON TO 30 PERCENT DESIGN WHERE WE RESEARCH RIGHT OF WAY AND JURISDICTION, IDENTIFY ANY PERMANENT NEEDS THAT WILL BE DONE AND ADDITIONALLY WITH ANY TRAFFIC STUDIES.

AND THEN THAT LEADS US INTO FINAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, WHICH OF COURSE, I DON'T NEED TO EXPLAIN.

BUT AS A PROPONENT OF THAT, WE DO ENTER INTO A RECIPIENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE BROWARD MPO AND THE MUNICIPALITY THAT OUTLINES EACH AGENCY'S ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.

AND THEN THE LAST STEP AFTER THE PROJECT IS DONE, YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE ANYTHING ELSE IN LIFE, IT'S NEVER REALLY DONE BECAUSE THERE'S THE MAINTENANCE OF ALL THE ASSETS THAT NEED TO BE HANDLED FOR THEIR USEFUL LIFE.

SO CONTINUING TO MONITOR AND CONTROL WITH COMPLIANCE.

AND BELOW THAT, YOU CAN SEE WHERE SOME OF THOSE MUNICIPALITIES FALL THAT I HAD PREVIOUSLY SHOWN YOU, WHERE THEIR PROGRESS IS CURRENTLY.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO THIS IS SIMILAR TO MS. MACNEIL'S SLIDE, YOU'LL SEE WHAT WE'RE PROPOSING FOR THE HUB CRITERIA IS WE'RE LOOKING AT MARKET READINESS, NETWORK READINESS AND SPONSOR READINESS.

AND WE'RE ALSO TRYING TO KEEP IT IN LINE WITH THE THEMES THAT MR.

[01:15:03]

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

AND HERE IS YOU KNOW, THIS IS THE MAIN THING HERE.

THIS IS THE CHART OF WHICH WE ARE SUGGESTING AND THE WEIGHTS FOR THESE VARIOUS ITEMS THAT WE WILL BE LOOKING AT, SUCH JUST AS KERRIE HAD MENTIONED IN HER SLIDE, WE'VE GOT THE EQUITY, ACCESSIBILITY AND ECONOMIC VITALITY FALLING INTO MARKET READINESS HERE.

AND THEN I WON'T READ THROUGH ALL THE DATA CRITERIA, BUT YOU CAN SEE WHAT DATA WE'RE LOOKING AT AND WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO.

SO, FOR INSTANCE, WITH ACCESSIBILITY, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE TO PUT A HUB OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE KIND OF.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT CLOSE PROXIMITY TO SCHOOLS AND UNIVERSITIES, CITY HALLS, HOSPITALS.

WE WANT TO PUT THEM WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE.

AND WE, YOU KNOW, AS I MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY, BUT ALSO BELOW THAT, THEN IT TURNS INTO LOOKING AT LAND USE.

SO WE HAVE, YOU KNOW, REGIONAL ACTIVITY CENTERS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO IDENTIFY AND ALSO LOOKING AT FUTURE LAND USE.

AND THEN BELOW THAT, YOU'VE GOT NETWORK READINESS.

SO MOBILITY, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND MOBILITY IS RANKED VERY HIGH.

THAT ESSENTIALLY WHAT A MOBILITY HUB IS, IS TO OFFER SAFE AND SECURE WAITING AREAS AND CONNECTIONS FOR PEOPLE TAKING VARIOUS MODES OF TRANSPORTATION.

SO WE THOUGHT THAT THAT WAS, YOU KNOW, THAT RANKED UP THERE, VERY HIGH, JUST LIKE EQUITY ABOVE AND ALSO BELOW THAT YOU HAVE SAFETY.

SO WITH CARRY CSLIP IS LOOKING AT ALL KINDS OF THINGS LIKE VEHICULAR, NON VEHICULAR DATA SOURCES, THE HUBS, AT THIS POINT WE'RE LOOKING MORE AT PEDESTRIAN CRASHES AND BICYCLE CRASHES INVOLVING VEHICLES.

IT'S NOT NECESSARY TO KNOW EVERY KIND OF ACCIDENT THAT OCCURS ON 95, FOR INSTANCE, BECAUSE WE'RE NEVER GOING TO PUT A HUB ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE HIGHWAY LIKE THAT.

SO THERE'S A SLIGHT DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HOW WE'RE LOOKING AT THE CRASH DATA WITH HUBS AND CSLIP.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, BELOW THAT, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE NOT INVESTING OUR FEDERAL FUNDS IN AN AREA, FOR INSTANCE, THAT'S PRONE TO FLOODING OR, YOU KNOW, MIGHT BE UNDERWATER IN 20 YEARS OR SO AS PART OF THE MOBILITY HUB WORK.

WE REALLY LOOK AT CLIMATE RESILIENCY, WHAT THE IMPACT IS OF A HUB.

AND IF WE DO DO A CONSTRUCTION AREA THAT IS PRONE TO FLOOD, WE WANT TO FIGURE OUT A MITIGATION PLAN WHEN WE'RE IN CONSTRUCTION, WHETHER THAT BE ZEROSCAPE LANDSCAPING THAT CAN ABSORB WATER OR CURB AND GUTTER INSTALLATIONS, WE TEND TO LOOK AT ALL OF THOSE THINGS.

AND THEN AT THE LAST VERY, VERY BOTTOM, THAT'S ALMOST WRITTEN LIKE A DRUG COMMERCIAL, LIKE A DISCLAIMER.

WE HAVE THE SPONSOR READINESS DOWN THERE AND SO SPONSOR READINESS RIGHT NOW.

WE'RE THINKING ABOUT WEIGHTING THAT AS LOW.

BUT WHAT WE WANT TO DO IS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A WILLING PARTNER.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE MUNICIPALITIES PAST EXPERIENCE AND DELIVERING PROJECTS WITH THE MPO.

HAVE THEY HAD ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE? ALSO, DO THEY HAVE SUPPORTIVE PROJECTS IN THE AREA? ARE THEIR LAND USES CONDUCIVE TO A HUB LOCATION? ALL OF THOSE TYPES OF THINGS THAT WE'LL BE LOOKING AT AND THE DETAILS EXACTLY OF WHAT ALL THAT WILL MEAN ARE TO COME AT A LATER DATE.

BUT AS I MENTIONED, WE DO BELIEVE THAT AT THIS POINT THEY WILL HAVE THE WAITING FOR THAT BELOW BECAUSE WE DON'T NECESSARILY WANT TO PENALIZE A CITY THAT HAS HAD SOME PROBLEMS IN THE PAST.

BUT WE DO WANT TO SOMEHOW BE ABLE TO MAKE NOTE OF IT.

AND SO IF THEY ARE AWARDED A MOBILITY HUB PROJECT, WE'RE AWARE THAT THEY MAY NEED A LITTLE EXTRA HELP.

AND, YOU KNOW, EVERYONE KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE GETTING INTO FROM THE VERY BEGINNING.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

SO THIS BASICALLY CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION, VERY SIMILAR TO WHAT MS. MACNEIL HAD SAID.

WE WANT TO GET ANY COMMENTS THAT THE BOARD HAS REGARDING THESE CRITERIA.

IF YOU THINK WE'RE TOTALLY OFF, YOU'D LIKE TO SEE SOMETHING HIGHER.

YOU KNOW, LET ME KNOW.

I'M A BIG PROPONENT OF SELF PRESERVATION, SO I WILL MAKE THE CHANGES SO THAT I CAN COME BACK AT A LATER DATE AND PRESENT IT TO YOU.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE'VE ALREADY PRESENTED SOME OF THIS TO THE TAC AND CAC WE WILL BE COMING BACK BASED ON THE COMMENTS THAT WE RECEIVED FROM THE BOARD TODAY TO LET THEM KNOW KIND OF WHERE WE STAND AND THEN ULTIMATELY COME TO YOU IN JULY FOR A FORMAL ADOPTION OF THE POLICIES.

CSLIP AS KERRIE HAD MENTIONED, THEY ALREADY HAD MANY, MANY SUCCESSFUL CYCLES.

THIS WILL BE THE FIRST OPEN COMPETITIVE CYCLE FOR US, AS FOR THE MOBILITY HUBS, SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT, BUT WE ALSO KNOW THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE SOME GROWING PAINS AND I FULLY EXPECT TO COME BACK NEXT YEAR AROUND THE SAME TIME WITH SOME ADJUSTMENTS ONCE WE'VE HAD OUR FIRST CYCLE OPEN WITH A RECOMMENDATION TO TWEAK AND

[01:20:02]

SO WITH THAT, I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS THAT THE BOARD MAY HAVE.

THANK YOU, MR. BLUE, AND WE DO HAVE A QUESTION VICE MAYOR COLBOURNE.

YES, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I JUST I WANTED A CLARIFICATION THAT THIS WAS THE FIRST AND I RAISED MY HAND BEFORE HE STATED THAT THIS IS THE FIRST TIME.

SO THE ONLY OTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS WHAT TIME FRAME IN TERMS OF THE CYCLE ARE WE LOOKING AT FOR THIS? YES, MA'AM, THAT'S A GREAT QUESTION AT THIS POINT, MY RECOMMENDATION IS TO HAVE A SIMILAR PROCESS TO CSLIP.

SO THE APPLICATIONS, I BELIEVE WE'D OPENED THEM UP, DO AN ADVERTISEMENT, LET ALL THE MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNMENTS OF THE MPO KNOW AND THAT THEY HAVE APPROXIMATELY MAYBE SIX TO EIGHT WEEKS TO SUBMIT APPLICATIONS FOR OUR REVIEW.

AND THEN IT'LL ESSENTIALLY TAKE MAYBE ANOTHER SIX WEEKS FOR STAFF TO REVIEW THEM.

SO JUST TO GIVE YOU A BALLPARK IDEA, IF EVERYTHING GOES WELL AND WE'RE ABLE TO OPEN UP THE CYCLE IN SAY AUGUST SOMETIME, I'M THINKING THAT WE WOULD COME BACK TO THE BOARD IN NOVEMBER OR DECEMBER FOR A RECOMMENDATION AND A RANKING OF THE PROJECT'S REWARD AT THAT POINT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

WE ALSO HAVE A QUESTION FROM VICE MAYOR CARN.

THANK YOU MR. CALETKA.

I WANTED TO THANK YOU, MR. BLUE, FOR THE PRESENTATION.

I WANTED TO ASK, HAS ANY CONSIDERATION BEEN GIVEN GIVEN TO CITIES RIGHT NOW WHO ARE ANTICIPATING THE LOCAL SHUTTLE PROGRAM.

WITH THAT MANY POINTS, IF A CITY HAS A LOCAL SHUTTLE PROGRAM TO THEIR APPLICATION.

YES, SIR, THAT'S AN EXCELLENT QUESTION AS WELL.

WE ABSOLUTELY LOOK AT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY SHUTTLE ROUTES THAT THE MUNICIPALITIES ARE RUNNING, ESPECIALLY NOW THAT, YOU KNOW, THE COUNTY HAS PASSED THEIR PAY SURTAX.

THERE'S MONEY AVAILABLE FOR THE MUNICIPALITIES, FOR THESE COMMUNITY SHUTTLE ROUTES.

I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE JUST FINISHED MOBILITY HUB MASTER PLAN STUDY FOR PLANTATION.

AND WHEN WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT, THEY WERE STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THEIR COMMUNITY SHUTTLE ROUTES.

SO EVEN THOUGH WE'VE COMPLETED THE MASTER PLAN PROCESS FOR THEM, WE'VE BEEN GOING BACK EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS OR SO JUST TO FIND OUT KIND OF WHERE THEY ARE, BECAUSE IT IS A NEGOTIATION BETWEEN THE MUNICIPALITIES AND BCT ON WHERE THE ROUTES WILL GO.

BUT WE ABSOLUTELY LOOK AT THAT.

IT'S A MAJOR COMPONENT.

THANK YOU, SIR.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

AND IT LOOKS LIKE THAT'S ALL OF THE QUESTIONS THAT WE HAVE AT THIS MOMENT, SO I WANT TO THANK MS. MACNEIL AND MR. BLUE FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM, WHICH IS THE REVIEW OF THE COASTAL LINK

[4. Review of the Coastal Link Workshop]

GOOD MORNING.

GOOD MORNING.

MY NAME IS CAROL HENDERSON AND I'M DIRECTOR OF INTERGOVERNMENTAL AND OUTREACH.

I'M GOING TO PRESENT A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF THE COASTAL LINK WORKSHOP HOSTED BY SEFTC ON APRIL 30TH.

SO WHAT IS SEFTC? SEFTC IS THE SOUTHEAST FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION COUNCIL, COMPRISED OF THE THREE MPO'S, MIAMI-DADE TRANSPORTATION PLANNING ORGANIZATION, PALM BEACH TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY, AND, OF COURSE, OUR OWN BROWARD METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION.

THE WORKSHOP HAD A NUMBER OF PRESENTERS, AND THIS SLIDE GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF THE PARTICIPANTS.

SO WHAT IS THE COASTAL LINK? PREVIOUSLY KNOWN AS THE TRI RAIL COASTAL LINK, THE GOAL IS TO BRING COMMUTER RAIL ON THE FLORIDA EAST COAST RAILWAY AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE MAP, THE GREEN LINE IS WHERE THE CSX LINE IS, AND THAT'S WHERE TRI-RAIL RUNS CURRENTLY.

AND THE BLUE LINE IS THE FECR LINE.

AND THAT'S WHERE THE COASTAL LINK WILL TRAVEL ON.

ALTHOUGH THERE IS A LOT OF HISTORY, I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW MILESTONES BETWEEN 2013 AND 2018.

AT THAT TIME, AN MOU WAS CREATED BETWEEN THE THREE AGENCIES, FDOT SFRTA REGIONAL PLANNING COUNCILS BRIGHTLINE, FORMERLY ALL ABOARD FLORIDA, STARTED REVENUE SERVICE IN 2018 AND BROWARD PASSED THE TRANSPORTATION SURTAX.

SO WHERE DO WE STAND ON COMMUTER RAIL? WELL, SFRTA STANDS READY TO ASSIST THE COUNTIES TO COMPLETE AN INTEGRATED COASTAL LINK SYSTEM SEAMLESSLY CONNECTED.

IT WOULD BE A TRUE REGIONAL COMMUTER RAIL.

[01:25:03]

BRIGHTLINE PRESENTED A ROAD MAP MOVING FORWARD, BRIGHTLINE HAS ENTERED INTO AN MOU WITH THE COUNTY, THE COUNTY HAS HIRED A CHIEF NEGOTIATING OFFICER AND FDOT HAS INITIATED A P D&E STUDY.

BUT IF YOU LOOK AT IT, BRIGHTLINE STILL NEEDS TO COMPLETE A NUMBER OF STEPS, WHICH INCLUDE DEFINING STATION LOCATIONS, CORRIDOR APPRAISALS, RIDERSHIP DESIGN, TO NAME A FEW OF THE ITEMS. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK TO THE SOUTH, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY HAS ALREADY INITIATED THE FIRST OF ADDITIONAL STOPS AVENTURA TO MIAMICENTRAL IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND THIS IS THE FIRST OF ADDITIONAL STOPS PLANNED IN MIAMI-DADE.

IN BROWARD COUNTY, THE PD&E STUDY IS UNDERWAY.

YOU CAN SEE WHERE WE'RE AT MAY LATER IN THE YEAR, THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC KICKOFF MEETINGS FOLLOWED IN 2022 WITH PUBLIC WORKSHOPS AND A PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THE STUDY LIMITS ARE HIGHLIGHTED WITH THE PD&E STUDY, AND IF YOU LOOK AVENTURA TO DEERFIELD BEACH IS PART OF THIS, INCLUDING THE POMPANO CROSSOVER AND THE POMPANO CROSSOVER IS WHERE THE TWO RAIL LINES CAN INTERCHANGE CSX AND FEC.

THERE'S GOING TO BE CONTINUED EVALUATION OF THE CROSSING OF THE NEW RIVER IDENTIFYING STATION LOCATIONS AND OF COURSE, THE ANALYSIS OF THE EAST AND WEST TRAFFIC FOR CROSSINGS AND THE STATIONS.

IN 2019, THERE WAS A STUDY THAT WAS COMPLETED BY FDOT AND IT PROVIDED 4 SOLUTIONS FOR THE NEW RIVER CROSSING AND THIS IS BEING REEVALUATED AGAIN WITH THE NEW PD&E STUDY.

TO THE NORTH PALM BEACH COUNTY IS LOOKING FOR FUNDING, SO THEY'RE A LITTLE BEHIND THE OTHER TWO COUNTIES.

THE NEXT STEPS ARE TO FINALIZE PLANS SUCH AS THE NEW RIVER CROSSING THE STATION LOCATIONS, ALONG WITH OTHER DETAILS ON A BUDGET.

ONCE THEY HAVE BEEN DETERMINED, FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE AVAILABLE.

AND THOSE FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDE PRESIDENT BIDEN'S BUILD BACK BETTER PLAN, CAPITAL INVESTMENTS, NEW STARTS INFRASTRUCTURE RAISE GRANT PROGRAM, FORMERLY THE BUILD AND THE SURTAX ALLOCATIONS.

THIS WORKSHOP HAD OVER TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY PARTICIPANTS AND THREE MEMBERS OF OUR TEAM ORGANIZED IT, PAUL CALVARESI, RENEE CROSS AND AMANDA CHRISTON.

IT WAS SO SUCCESSFUL, ANOTHER ONE IS PLANNED IN ABOUT SIX MONTHS.

SO IF YOU WANT TO SEE THE VIDEO RECORDING OF THE WORKSHOP, YOU CAN GO TO OUR AGENDA PAGE AT BROWARDMPO.ORG AND THANK YOU.

HAVE A GREAT DAY.

THANK YOU, MRS. HENDERSON, WE CAN TAKE QUESTIONS AT THIS TIME, JUST RAISE YOUR VIRTUAL HAND.

THAT'S USUALLY INDICATION OF A GREAT PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, MRS. HENDERSON.

THERE WERE NO QUESTIONS.

SO WE WILL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.

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

AND THIS IS ABOUT EMINENT DOMAIN RELIEF ORDINANCE THIS IS BEING PRESENTED BY MR. RAMOS.

GOOD MORNING, MR. CALETKA AND BOARD MEMBERS, THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT TODAY.

MY NAME IS VICTOR RAMOS.

I AM THE DEPUTY RIGHT OF WAY MANAGER OF THE VALUATION SECTION HERE AT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION'S 4TH DISTRICT IN FORT LAUDERDALE.

MY PRESENTATION INTENDS TO HIGHLIGHT THE BENEFITS OF EMINENT DOMAIN ORDINANCES ASSOCIATED WITH THE RIGHT OF WAY ACQUISITION PROJECTS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

OK, THE EMINENT DOMAIN SIMPLY STATED, AND THERE'S DIFFERENT VARIATIONS, BUT GENERALLY FOLLOW THE SAME THEME THAT THAT POWER OF THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, STATES AND MUNICIPALITIES TO TAKE PRIVATE PROPERTY FOR USE FOR PUBLIC USE FOLLOWING THE PAYMENT OF JUST COMPENSATION.

NEXT, SLIDE.

MOST OF THE PROPERTIES IMPACTED BY AN EMINENT DOMAIN TAKING INVOLVE PARTIAL ACQUISITIONS.

THIS IS A CRUDE REPRESENTATION THAT I PUT TOGETHER HERE OF THIS AS AN EXAMPLE AND THESE PARTIAL ACQUISITIONS CAN AND OFTEN DO DISRUPT THE DESIGN AND USE OF AFFECTED PROPERTIES, APPRAISER'S, TOGETHER WITH THEIR TEAM OF SUB CONSULTANTS, ATTEMPT TO

[01:30:01]

AND THESE CURES ARE ALSO A MEASURE OF COMPENSATION TO OWNERS.

A CURE IS ESSENTIALLY A DESIGN OF WHAT THE REMAINDER PROPERTY COULD LOOK LIKE AFTER A ROADWAY CONSTRUCTION PROJECT IS COMPLETE.

OFTEN, THESE CURES DO REQUIRE VARIANCES FROM LOCAL LAND DEVELOPMENT CODES FOR SUCH THINGS AS LANDSCAPE BUFFERS, BUILDING SETBACKS, LOT SIZE, AMONG OTHERS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

FLORIDA LAW REQUIRES THAT AUTHORITIES CONDEMNING AUTHORITIES, ESTABLISH THAT THE OBTAINING OF A VARIANCE APPROVAL AND ASSOCIATED WITH A CURE IS RECENTLY PROBABLE.

AND OBVIOUSLY THAT THE PHRASE REASONABLE PROBABLE IS QUITE SUBJECTIVE.

SO WHEN EMINENT DOMAIN ORDINANCES DO NOT EXIST THAT GRANT A CONDEMNING AUTHORITY, THE ABILITY TO SUBMIT A CURE PLAN FOR A FORMAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL, ESTABLISHING THAT REASONABLE PROBABILITY REQUIRES OTHER MEASURES.

NORMALLY, IT INVOLVES RESEARCHING PAST VARIANCE APPROVALS WITHIN A GIVEN CITY TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY RECORDS OF SIMILAR APPROVALS BEING GRANTED THAT WOULD MIRROR WHAT IS BEING SOUGHT AS PART OF A CURE AND ALSO TO OBTAIN STAFF LEVEL ENDORSEMENT OF THE PROPOSED CURE PLANS.

NEITHER OF THOSE OFTENTIMES ARE BINDING NOR PROVIDE THE DESIRED LEVEL OF ASSURANCE THAT ALL PARTIES IN PART OF AN EMINENT DOMAIN PROCESS WOULD SEEK.

THE ABSENCE OF THOSE APPROVALS CREATES SOME DEGREE OF UNCERTAINTY REGARDING THE CURE'S ULTIMATE OF PROVABILITY, AND THIS UNCERTAINTY UNDERMINES, TO SOME EXTENT CREDIBILITY AND WEAKENS NEGOTIATION POTENTIAL AND CREATES DOUBTS AND RIGHTFULLY SO, CREATES SOME DOUBTS IN THE MINDS OF LANDOWNERS AND BUSINESS OWNERS THAT ARE ULTIMATELY IMPACTED BY THESE PARTIAL ACQUISITIONS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THIS UNCERTAINTY CAN BE MITIGATED TO SOME EXTENT WITH A WELL CRAFTED ORDINANCE AND NUMEROUS MUNICIPALITIES HAVE ADOPTED ORDINANCES SUCH AS THIS, THESE ORDINANCE CAN CREATE A FORMAL PROCESS.

IT'S AN ORDERLY PROCESS THAT ALL PARTIES AFFECTED BY THESE THINGS CAN FOLLOW ELIMINATES THAT UNCERTAINTY, AS I SAID, AND THE APPROVABILITY OF A CURE.

IT CREATES A TANGIBLE ASSURANCE THAT THE PROPOSED CURE UPON WHICH OF JUST COMPENSATION IS BASED IS SOMETHING THAT WOULD BE PERMITTED AND COULD BE IMPLEMENTED AND ALLOWS FOR THE CONTINUED LEGAL USE OF PROPERTIES MADE NONCONFORMING BY A PARTIAL ACQUISITION AND OFFERS A FIRM FOUNDATION UPON WHICH THESE APPRAISALS AND COMPENSATIONS OFFERS ARE BASED AND NEGOTIATIONS.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THE IDEA IS TO CREATE A DEFINED PROCESS WITH RULES AND GUIDELINES THAT FOLLOWING DEALINGS WITH AN EMINENT DOMAIN ACTION.

SOME ORDINANCES ARE MORE COMPREHENSIVE THAN OTHERS.

BUT ONE KEY PROVISION IS HAVING AN ORDINANCE THAT GRANTS A STANDING TO A CONDEMNING AUTHORITY TO SUBMIT CURE PLANS FOR A FORMAL REVIEW AND APPROVAL LANGUAGE SUCH AS THIS, AS YOU SEE HERE ON THE SIGN, IS ONE EXAMPLE.

NOW, THAT DOES NOT MEAN OR SUGGEST THAT AN OWNER AFFECTED BY AN EMINENT DOMAIN ACQUISITION WOULD BE OBLIGATED TO IMPLEMENT THAT CURE.

BY ALL MEANS, OWNERS HAVE THE ABILITY TO SUBMIT THEIR OWN CURE PLANS FOR CONSIDERATION AND APPROVAL, AND THEIR EXPERTS WILL ADVISE ALL THE COST AND IMPACTS RELATED TO ALL THAT.

AND NEGOTIATIONS WOULD FLOW FROM THERE.

AND THERE IS SOME LEVEL OF MINDSET THAT ONLY ONE CURE COULD WORK.

BUT OFTENTIMES THERE MAY BE MORE THAN ONE WAY TO CURE A PROPERTY.

AND A CITY MAY BE IN A POSITION TO SAY EITHER ONE OF THESE WILL WORK FOR US.

SO HAVING THAT STANDING IS CRITICAL FOR A CONDEMNING AUTHORITY, NOT HAVING IT WE'D HAVE TO GO THROUGH THE OTHER MEASURES I STATED EARLIER AND THAT UNCERTAINTY WOULD PERSIST.

NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE.

THESE ARE SOME SAMPLE ORDINANCES THAT HAVE THESE MEASURES WITH CITIES THAT

[01:35:02]

THERE ARE OTHERS I MAKE MYSELF AVAILABLE AND PROVIDE THESE COPIES TO ANYBODY THAT'S INTERESTED.

BUT IF YOUR CITY DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE SOMETHING TO CONSIDER, ADOPTING SOMETHING, ALONG THESE LINES TO HELP ALL PARTIES INVOLVED OWNERS CONDEMNING AUTHORITIES AND YOUR YOUR LOCAL STAFF IN THE PROCESS OF AN EMINENT DOMAIN ACQUISITION PROJECT.

AND THAT CONCLUDES MY PRESENTATION.

AND I'M OPEN TO QUESTIONS IF ANYONE SHOULD HAVE SOME.

OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

AND THERE IS THE CONTACT INFORMATION, IF YOU THINK THAT THIS MIGHT WORK FOR YOUR MUNICIPALITY, YOU CAN REACH OUT TO MR. RAMOS AND LET HIM KNOW AND THEN HE'LL START WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF ON MAKING IT HAPPEN.

SO ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRESENTATION? OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR A GREAT PRESENTATION.

I DON'T SEE ANY QUESTIONS SO WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PRESENTATION, WHICH IS ALSO FROM OUR PARTNER AGENCY, THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

[6. Report From Partner Agencies - Florida Department of Transportation - SW 10th Street Connector Preferred Alternative]

IT'S ABOUT SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET AND PRESENTING IS MR. BOSTIAN.

GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY [INAUDIBLE] SW 10TH STREET PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE, I'M HERE TODAY WITH MR. PHIL SCHWAB AND PHIL IS A CONSULTANT PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT AND ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY.

SO, WE DO HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION TODAY WITH REALLY JUST A BRIEF VIDEO.

WITH THAT I'M GOING TO GO AHEAD AND HAND IT OFF TO PHIL JUST TO GO OVER THIS.

THANKS, ROB.

AND GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY.

I DID WANT TO POINT OUT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THIS GRAPHIC IN THE SHORT VIDEO ROB HAD MENTIONED.

BUT SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET IS THE BLUE HERE, AND IT ACTUALLY IS ADJACENT TO TWO OTHER STUDIES, THE GREEN BEING THE I-95 EXPRESS LANES, AS WELL AS THE CONNECTION RIGHT AT I-95 TO SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET, AS WELL AS THE TURNPIKE INTERCHANGE.

PD&E STUDY IS LOOKING AT NEW OR ADDITIONAL CONNECTIONS AT THAT INTERCHANGE.

SO SW 10TH STREET IS THE CONNECTION, THE EXTENSION OF THE SAWGRASS TO GET TO I-95 IF YOU GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

SO WE'VE HAD SOME SIGNIFICANT CHANGES THROUGHOUT THE YEARS WORKING ON THE STUDY, DIRECT RESULT OF PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT, THE FIRST THREE ITEMS YOU SEE THERE HAPPENED A LITTLE EARLIER IN THE PROCESS WHERE WE WERE ABLE TO MOVE AN OVERPASS FOR MOTORWAYS COMMUNITY FURTHER TO THE WEST, OUTSIDE OF THEIR INTERSECTION.

ALSO, WE REMOVED THE TRUCK RESTRICTIONS TO THE CONNECTOR LANES AND REMOVED OR WE'RE NOT TOLLING THE CONNECTOR LANES.

THE LAST THREE CAME ABOUT REALLY WHEN THE CITY CHALLENGED THE DOT AND CHALLENGED THE TEAM THAT WE CAN DO BETTER.

THEY ALSO WORKED WITH US TO DEVELOP SOLUTIONS TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS, WHICH INCLUDES INCORPORATING A 12 FOOT SHARED USE PATH THROUGH THE LIMITS OF THE PROJECT.

AND ALSO THE MOST SIGNIFICANT IN MY MIND IS THE I-95 CONNECTION TO NOT ONLY THE EXPRESS LANES, BUT ALSO THE GENERAL USE LANES.

THIS HELPED REALLY TAKE EVEN MORE TRAFFIC OFF OF THE LOCAL LANES, AND IT ALSO HELPED CREATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE A LARGER BUFFER AND MORE LANDSCAPE OPPORTUNITIES AS THE PROJECT MOVED FORWARD, WHICH YOU'RE GOING TO SEE IN THE SHORT VIDEO WE HAVE, WHICH IS COMING UP NEXT.

THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS NEARING COMPLETION OF THE SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET CONNECTOR PD&E STUDY AND REACHED A DECISION ON A PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE.

SW 10TH STREET CONNECTOR STUDY LIMITS SHOWN HERE IN BLUE BEGINS AT THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY NEAR THE INTERCHANGE WITH FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE AND EXTENDS TO I-95 IN BROWARD COUNTY, AN ADJACENT STUDY ALONG I-95 SHOWN IN GREEN WILL ADD EXPRESS LANES AND CONNECTOR RAMPS TO I-95.

THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION HAS EVALUATED SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES THROUGHOUT THE STUDY, AND AFTER CONSIDERING ALL INPUT TO DATE, FDOT SELECTED THE WITHOUT RAMP ALTERNATIVE, WHICH PROVIDES THE BEST BALANCE OF BENEFITS WHILE MINIMIZING IMPACTS.

ALTHOUGH ADDITIONAL LOCAL ACCESS RAMPS EAST OF POWERLINE ROAD OF THE WIDTH RAMP ALTERNATIVE PROVIDES MORE ACCESSIBILITY.

THEY DO NOT PROVIDE BETTER TRAFFIC FLOWS.

BY CONTRAST, THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE MEETS ALL THE NEEDS OF THE PROJECT, WHILE ALSO MINIMIZING THE IMPACTS ALONG THE LOCAL LANES AND STILL PROVIDES LOCAL ACCESS TO AND FROM THE CONNECTOR LANES EAST OF MILITARY TRAIL.

THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE HAS BOTH REGIONAL AND LOCAL BENEFITS.

BY COMPLETING THE REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION NETWORK, THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE REDUCES CONGESTION AND DELAY ALONG LOCAL SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET, WHILE ALSO IMPROVING TRAFFIC FLOW, OPERATIONS, SAFETY, EMERGENCY RESPONSE, EVACUATION AND PROMOTING

[01:40:07]

IN FACT, THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE WILL HAVE 22 PERCENT LOWER TRAFFIC LEVELS IN 2040 THAN IN 2016 ALONG LOCAL SW 10TH STREET, A CLOSE UP VIEW OF THE LOCAL LANES LOOKING EAST HELPS VISUALIZE SOME OF THE BENEFITS AND REDUCTION OF IMPACTS AND THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE ACHIEVES, INCLUDING A CONTINUOUS 12 FOOT WIDE SHARED USE PATH ALONG THE SOUTH SIDE.

INCREASE IN BUFFER AREAS FROM THE ROAD TO THE COMMUNITIES, MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LANDSCAPING, PRIVATE PROPERTY AND EXISTING LARGE TREES CAN BE AVOIDED AT WATERFORD COURTYARD'S, TRANSMISSION POLES REMAIN IN APPROXIMATELY THE SAME LOCATION.

THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE IS ANTICIPATED TO BE APPROVED BY THE FDOT OFFICE OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT BY GRANTING LOCATION AND DESIGN CONCEPT ACCEPTANCE THIS SUMMER, THE PROJECT WILL MOVE INTO THE FINAL DESIGN PHASE, WHERE ADDITIONAL PROJECT DETAILS WILL BE DEVELOPED AND SHARED WITH THE PUBLIC.

FDOT WILL CONTINUE TO ENGAGE THE PUBLIC AS THIS PROJECT ADVANCES.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN THE SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET CONNECTOR PD&E STUDY.

OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT.

WE ALREADY HAVE A QUESTION IN QUEUE COMMISSIONER WELCH.

YES, THANK YOU.

GOOD PRESENTATION, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION IN REGARD TO THE WESTBOUND TRAFFIC.

WEST OF THE TURNPIKE AND HEADED TOWARDS THE SAWGRASS.

I WONDERED IF YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO ADDRESS WHETHER THE LYONS ROAD ADVANCED U-TURN IS GOING TO BE THE ONLY WAY THAT WOULD BE ACCESSING IT BACK ONTO THE TURNPIKE.

THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION, I'M SURE YOU'RE AWARE THAT THAT IS A SEPARATE PD&E STUDY OR PROJECT [INAUDIBLE] ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY THAT'S BEING CONDUCTED BY THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE.

AND THEY ARE CURRENTLY STILL LOOKING AT THEIR EARLIER ALTERNATIVES AND CONCEPTS.

I DO BELIEVE THEY PLAN TO BE REACHING OUT PUBLICLY BY THE END OF THIS LATE SUMMER WITH THEIR ALTERNATIVES, LIKE AN ALTERNATIVE'S WORKSHOP, AND THEY'LL BE DISCUSSING THE CONCEPTS THEY DEVELOPED AND THEN GETTING INPUT AND THEN FURTHER REFINING THOSE.

WELL, I KNOW THIS MIGHT SEEM OBVIOUS, BUT YET I JUST NEED TO ASK IT IS, ARE YOU NOT WORKING IN TANDEM WITH THEM IN REGARD TO THE SAWGRASS AND THE TURNPIKE? YES, WE ARE WORKING VERY CLOSELY ON THE PROJECTS TO MAKE SURE THE TWO ARE COMPATIBLE AND THAT THEY ARE WELL COORDINATED.

BUT THE PROJECT, THE SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET PROJECT, IS MUCH FURTHER ALONG IN THE OVERALL PROCESS.

THEY'RE STILL IN THEIR EARLIER PHASE AND STILL DEVELOPING THEIR CONCEPTS.

AND THEY HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO THE POINT WHERE THEY'VE PROVIDED THOSE CONCEPTS TO THE PUBLIC, AND TO THE CITIES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS LIKE YOURSELF.

OK.

SO THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO HAVE FURTHER INPUT ABOUT THE IMPACT WEST OF THE TURNPIKE.

YES YOU WILL.

OK.

WELL, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH, COMMISSIONER.

AND OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM OUR DEPUTY VICE CHAIR, JOHNSON.

YES, THANK YOU.

I DON'T REALLY HAVE A QUESTION, I JUST HAVE A COMMENT, AND I WANTED TO JUST COMMENT THAT I'M DELIGHTED THAT THIS PROCESS SEEMS LIKE IT'S FINALLY WINDING ITS WAY DOWN THROUGH ALL THE ROADS WE'VE BEEN WALKING ON FOR SO MANY YEARS.

AND I WANT TO THANK FDOT AND ALL THE PARTNERS IN DEERFIELD BEACH AND ALL FOR ALL OF THIS AND SAY I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO IT GOING AHEAD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU, DEPUTY VICE MAYOR, AND IT'S NOT A SURPRISE OUR NEXT QUESTION COMES FROM MAYOR GANZ.

THANK YOU AND I APOLOGIZE FOR SOME NOISE OUTSIDE MY WINDOW HERE, BUT I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR MR. BOSTIAN REGARDING THE ISSUES THAT WE HAVE HAD ON THE EAST PART OF THE PROJECT WHEN IT COMES TO THE PUBLIC'S AND THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY WE HAVE THERE TO THE SOUTH.

HAVE WE RESOLVE THOSE ISSUES WITH THIS RECOMMENDATION.

YES, WE HAVE AT THIS POINT IN TIME AND [INAUDIBLE] MANY OF THE MEETINGS WE'VE HELD WITH THOSE BUSINESSES, THE NEWPORT BUSINESS CENTER PARTICULARLY, AND GETTING THEIR FEEDBACK, WE MADE THE CHANGE TO NOT RESTRICT THAT MOVEMENT COMING OUT OF THE NEWPORT

[01:45:06]

AND IT WILL BE BOTH MOVEMENTS.

THE LEFT TURN AN THE RIGHT TURN WILL BE MOVING FORWARD INTO THE NEXT PHASE, THE DESIGN PHASE.

EXCELLENT.

THANK YOU, ROBERT.

BUT I WILL SAY THIS.

THERE ARE STILL MANY PEOPLE HERE IN THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH THAT WOULD NOT LIKE TO SEE THIS PROJECT MOVE FORWARD AT ALL.

AND IS THIS PROJECT WHAT WE ORIGINALLY TALKED ABOUT? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

THIS RESOLUTION IS NOWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT WE INITIALLY HAD CONVERSATIONS ABOUT.

IT'S BEEN A LONG PROCESS.

I WILL SAY THIS.

I THINK THEY'VE DONE AN OUTSTANDING JOB, THOUGH IT'S BEEN PAINFUL AT TIMES.

YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE WE'RE AT AND GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF JUST HOW THIS HAS PROGRESSED AND HOW THEY HAVE REALLY TAKEN TO LISTENING TO THE PUBLIC IS THIS RECOMMENDATION IS NOT SOMETHING THAT I WOULD SUPPORT AS AN ELECTED OFFICIAL.

THIS IS NOT MY PREFERRED CHOICE, BUT IT IS THE PREFERRED CHOICE OF THE MAJORITY OF THE PUBLIC.

SO THEY WEREN'T INFLUENCED JUST BY ELECTED OFFICIALS AND SIMPLY TRYING TO APPEASE US.

THEY TOOK THE INFORMATION WITH WHAT THE PUBLIC WANTED.

AND THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER ON THIS PROJECT.

LIKE I SAID, IT'S VERY UNPOPULAR IN MANY AREAS HERE IN THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH.

BUT WE UNDERSTAND THAT THE REGIONAL IMPACT IS THERE.

WE KNOW THAT THIS IS GOING TO BENEFIT TRAFFIC TIMES IN THE FUTURE.

AND IN THE END, I WANT TO THANK THEM FOR THEIR HARD WORK ON THIS PROJECT AND THE MEMBERS OF THE MPO WHO HAVE BEEN PATIENT, WHO HAVE SUPPORTED THIS AND HAVE SUPPORTED OUR CITY AND OUR EFFORTS TO TRY TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE A PROJECT, ITS IMPACT ON US IN A NEGATIVE [INAUDIBLE] AT BEST, WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE AS FAR AS MINIMAL AT BEST.

BUT CERTAINLY THIS IS A PROJECT THAT I THINK WE COULD HANG OUR HAT ON.

AND I APPRECIATE ALL THE HARD WORK THANK YOU.

THAT'S A SERIOUS COMPLIMENT AND IT'S VERY MUCH APPRECIATED, I KNOW, ON BEHALF OF THE MPO STAFF AND THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

I'LL GIVE A BRIEF MOMENT FOR ANYBODY ELSE WHO WANTS TO EITHER MAKE A COMMENT OR ASK A QUESTION.

ALL RIGHT.

SEEING NONE.

THANK YOU, GENTLEMEN, FOR THE GREAT PRESENTATION.

WE WILL MOVE ON.

WE'VE GOT TWO MORE.

SO WE'RE ROUNDING THE CURVE HERE.

AND NEXT UP IS BTACTICAL PILOT PROJECT.

[7. BTactical Pilot Project]

OK.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYBODY, AND THANKS FOR ATTENDING TODAY'S WORKSHOP.

CAN I GET TO THE NEXT SLIDE, PLEASE? THANK YOU.

I'D ACTUALLY LIKE TO ANNOUNCE THE WINNER OF THE FIRST BTACTICAL AWARD, WHICH IS THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH.

AND THIS IS A REALLY WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO WORK WITH THE CITY, TO COME UP WITH A PILOT PROJECT THAT WILL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO COME TO FRUITION, OBVIOUSLY WITHIN THE YEAR AS OPPOSED TO FIVE, SIX YEARS DOWN THE ROAD.

THAT SAID, I'D LIKE TO ALSO THANK ALL OF OUR MEMBER GOVERNMENTS THAT DID APPLY FOR THE AWARD, WHICH YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

AND IF WE HAD MORE MONEY, WE WOULD BE ABLE TO DO MORE.

AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU TO ONE DAY FULFILL THE ABILITY TO BTACTICAL.

AND WITH THAT, I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO STEPHANIE GARCIA, WHO IS OUR ENGINEER ON RECORD ON THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT.

AND SHE'S GOING TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT THE SPECIFICS OF THE DEERFIELD BEACH PROJECT.

THANK YOU SO MUCH STUART I'M STEPHANIE GARCIA LEADING THIS EFFORT, AND I REALLY WANT TO CONGRATULATE TO THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH.

THIS WASN'T AN EASY DECISION BECAUSE WE RECEIVED MANY, MANY GOOD CREDITS FROM THE DIFFERENT MUNICIPALITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AND THIS IS A REMINDER THAT WE REALLY WANT YOU TO KEEP BEING STAY TUNED, BECAUSE WE ARE GOING TO, OF COURSE, RENOVATE THIS CYCLE BECAUSE WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.

WHAT OTHER AREAS IN YOU NEED A TACTICAL URBANISM IMPLEMENTATION.

SO WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

PERFECT.

SO THE PROJECT, RIGHT? EVERYONE IS WAITING.

SO WE SELECTED THAT THE NE 3RD AVENUE CORRIDOR IN THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH FROM SAMPLE ROAD TO NORTHEAST 44TH STREET.

THIS CORRIDOR IS REALLY INTERESTING.

AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE MAP, WE HAVE DIFFERENT CRITERIA THAT WE USE IN ORDER TO SELECT IT.

THE FIRST ONE WAS THE HIGH INJURED NETWORK.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE HIGH INJURED NETWORK IS OVERLAPPING THE SEGMENT IN DIFFERENT

[01:50:01]

SO THE FIRST ONE IS ON NE 44TH STREET IN THE NORTH SIDE.

THEN WE HAVE NE 41ST STREET, AND THEN WE HAVE SAMPLE ROAD.

SO THAT WAS THE FIRST CRITERIA.

THE SECOND CRITERIA THAT WE CHOSE WAS BUNDLE AREAS.

SO THE BUNDLE AREAS ARE AREAS THAT WE IDENTIFIED IN THE COMPLETE STREET MASTERPLAN THAT ARE IDENTIFIED AS HIGH DEMAND AREAS FOR BETTER FACILITIES IF FOCUSING ON [INAUDIBLE] BIKES.

ALSO, THERE ARE AREAS WHERE THERE IS HIGH EQUITY AREAS.

SORRY ABOUT THE REDUNDANCY.

YEAH, THOSE ARE HIGH EQUITY AREAS.

SO WE HAVE BUNDLE A AND BUNDLE B IN THE SOUTH SIDE.

AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THE MODELS WORK.

WE HAVE THREE DIFFERENT SCHOOLS, ONE NE 48TH IS IN DEERFIELD BEACH IS [INAUDIBLE] HIGH SCHOOL THEN WE HAVE TEDDER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND ON THE SOUTH SIDE WE HAVE CRYSTAL LAKE MIDDLE SCHOOL.

BUT NOT ONLY THAT, WE ALSO HAVE BROWARD HEALTH NORTH HOSPITAL IN THE SOUTH SIDE.

SO THIS IS REALLY AN AREA THAT NEEDS OUR ATTENTION AND THAT'S WHY WE DECIDED TO SELECT THIS PROJECT.

OK, SO NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS, WHAT IS THE SCOPE AND AS MY FRIEND [INAUDIBLE] WAS SAYING WE REALLY WANT TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY.

SO THE SCOPE THAT YOU SEE IN THIS SLIDE IS SOMETHING PRELIMINARY.

SO WE ARE THINKING ABOUT INTERSECTION IMPROVEMENTS, WAYFINDING AND INFORMATIONAL SIGNAGE TO DIRECT PEOPLE TO CROSS SAFELY TRAFFIC CALMING FEATURES IN ORDER TO SLOW DOWN TRAFFIC .

CROSSWALKS WITH THE CURRENT SURFACE TREATMENT.

AND THIS IS THE FUN PART, RIGHT? WE WANT TO WORK WITH THE COMMUNITY IN ORDER TO IDENTIFY WHAT IS THAT THAT IDENTIFIES THE IDENTITY INDICATOR OF THE COMMUNITY.

AND THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THAT TITLE, MAKE BROWARD BETTER AT TEDDER THIS IS A BETTER NEIGHBORHOOD.

SO IN TALKING ABOUT A PUBLIC OUTREACH.

YOU HAVE AN INVITATION IN YOUR INBOX TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WORKSHOP, WE HAVE TO WORKSHOP ONE PERSON THAT WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 5TH.

AND YOU HAVE A VIRTUAL WORKSHOP THAT YOU CAN ALL ATTEND.

IF YOU WANT TO LEARN A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS YEAR AT DEERFIELD BEACH.

THE VIRTUAL WORKSHOP IS ON JUNE 9TH.

AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT EVERYONE CAN ATTEND VIRTUALLY FROM THEIR HOME.

SO WHAT I WANT TO REALLY DO HERE IS THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL OF US, NOT ONLY FOR THE MPO AND THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH BUT FOR ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY THAT WANT TO LEARN ABOUT [INAUDIBLE] URBANISM AND HOW TO ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY IN A SCOPING PROCESS.

SO, OF COURSE, IF WE WANT TO THANK CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH AND OUR TEAM ESPECIALLY TO [INAUDIBLE] PROGRAM, A SERVICES DIRECTOR AND YOU KNOW, IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, LET ME KNOW.

I'D BE HAPPY TO TO REPLY TO YOUR EMAILS OR CALLS.

AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS HERE, I'M MOST HAPPY TO RESPOND.

FANTASTIC.

THANK YOU.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE A QUESTION FOR MS. GARCIA? OK, SEEING NONE, GREAT JOB, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THE PRESENTATION.

AND FINALLY, THE LAST PRESENTATION THAT WE HAVE TODAY IS GOING TO BE

[8. *2021 Legislative Update]

I WANT TO MAKE SURE YOU CAN HEAR ME.

YES, SIR.

THANK YOU.

SO YES WE ARE GOING TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE OVERVIEW OF WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE PAST MONTH AND WHAT WE CAN LOOK FORWARD TO OVER THE SUMMER.

SO IF WE CAN GO TO THE NEXT ONE, SO EARMARKS HAVE RETURNED, AND SO ALL THIS INFORMATION CAME FROM A FEDERAL LOBBYIST AT HOLLAND & KNIGHT AND EVERYTHING AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS HURRY UP AND WAIT.

SO WE KNEW THESE WERE COMING.

WE KNEW IT WAS HAPPENING.

WE JUST DIDN'T KNOW WHEN.

AND THEN WE WE GET THE WORD AND WE HAVE TO MOBILIZE QUICKLY.

SO HERE YOU YOU'LL SEE THE FOUR PROJECTS WE SUBMITTED FOR EARMARKS.

THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT GET WRITTEN TO LAW THAT THEY WILL BE FUNDED.

THE TWO HIGHLIGHTED IN GREEN FROM CONGRESSWOMAN WASSERMAN SCHULTZ DISTRICT SHE LIKED THEM SO MUCH BUT WASN'T ABLE TO GET THEM TO THE EARMARK PROCESS.

SO IF WE GO TO THE NEXT SLIDE.

WE WENT THROUGH THE REAUTHORIZATION PROCESS AND HERE ARE ALL THE PROJECTS THAT BROWARD COUNTY ALL THE MUNICIPALITIES THE MPO'S SUBMITTED TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT FOR THE REAUTHORIZATION PROCESS, AND YOU CAN SEE THEIR SPREAD FAIRLY EVENLY THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY.

YOU NOTICE A GAP IN THE MIDDLE.

AND THAT'S BECAUSE DUE TO CONGRESSMAN ALCEE HASTINGS UNTIMELY PASSING HIS SINCE THERE'S NO ELECTED OFFICIAL IN THAT OFFICE, STAFF IS NOT ALLOWED TO SELECT PROJECTS FOR THAT AREA.

SO IT'S VERY UNFORTUNATE THAT WE WEREN'T ABLE TO GET PROJECTS IN THERE.

BUT WE'RE HOPING THAT THIS PROCESS CONTINUES.

AND NEXT TIME WE'LL BE ABLE TO FILL IN THESE GAPS.

[01:55:01]

AND I'D LIKE TO BRING THIS BACK TO OUR FIRST PRESENTATION FROM MR. GIES AND HIS DEPARTMENT.

AND WITH THAT PLANNING, WITH THAT LEVEL OF DETAIL, WE WERE ABLE TO REACT QUICKLY AND GET FUNDING FOR NEARLY 20 MILLION DOLLARS WORTH OF PROJECTS.

AND AS WE ADVANCE FUNDING OF THAT, WE BACKFILL THAT WITH OTHER PROJECTS THAT MR. GIES DEPARTMENT HAS TO ADVANCE.

AND YOU'LL SEE ON HERE THERE'S ALSO SEVERAL CITIES THAT SUBMITTED NEW REAUTHORIZATION REQUESTS AND THE BROWARD MPO'S [INAUDIBLE] SUPPORT TO THE RESPECTIVE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

AND THESE ARE ALSO GOING TO BE FUNDED.

AND I REALLY NEED TO GIVE A LOT OF CREDIT TO OUR INTERNAL STAFF AND OUR STAFF AT HOLLAND AND KNIGHT, WHO WE PROVIDED ALL THE TECHNICAL INFORMATION WE GAVE TO THEM, THEY ENTER THIS.

A LOT OF THESE ARE PROCESSES THAT HAD GONE AWAY FOR A WHILE, SO THEY DID A LOT OF HANDHOLDING ON THE FEDERAL SIDE TO GET THESE THROUGH.

THEY PROVIDED THEIR EXPERTISE NOT JUST TO US, BUT ALSO TO CONGRESSIONAL STAFF.

AND IF IT WASN'T FOR THIS PARTNERSHIP AND THIS ARRANGEMENT, WE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO BRING THIS THROUGH.

AND LAST THING I REALLY WANT TO POINT OUT, AS YOU SEE IN PURPLE, NUMBER 12 THE TRI-RAIL ROLLING STOCK.

THAT WAS A REQUEST TO BOTH CONGRESSMAN WASSERMAN SCHULTZ AND CONGRESSWOMAN WILSON'S OFFICE, WHERE OF THE 10 MILLION REQUESTS, IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO GET FIVE MILLION.

AND AS A REGIONAL NOTE, ALL THREE MPO'S SUBMITTED TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CONGRESSIONAL LEADERSHIP AND LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE TRI RAIL WITH MORE ROLLING STOCK MEANING ADDITIONAL TRAINS TO TAKE ADDITIONAL CAPACITY SO THEY CAN RUN MORE SERVICE DOWN THE CORRIDOR.

SO WITH THAT, I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO LAURA AND LISA AT HOLLAND AND KNIGHT TO GIVE US AN UPDATE.

AS WE'VE BEEN ON THIS CALL, THEY'VE SENT SEVERAL EMAILS ABOUT NEW ITEMS THAT ARE COMING UP IN WASHINGTON.

SO YOU'RE HEARING EVERYTHING FRESH OFF THE PRESSES.

GOOD MORNING.

THANK YOU, PAUL.

WE'RE GOING TO START WITH TRANSPORTATION AUTHORIZATION AND THEN LISA IS GOING TO GO INTO THE APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS AND THEN WE'LL ROUND IT OUT FOR INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND, YES, THERE'S GOT TO BE ANOTHER INFRASTRUCTURE WEEK IN ABOUT THREE WEEKS.

BUT THEY PROMISE THIS ONE IS REAL.

ON SURFACE TRANSPORTATION, THE COMMITTEES ON BOTH THE SENATE AND HOUSE ARE DRAFTING.

WE WERE HEARING THAT ON THE SENATE SIDE.

THIS IS THE SENATE AND ENVIRONMENT PUBLIC WORKS COMMITTEE WHO WE'VE MET WITH AND PITCHED OUR MPO PILOT PROGRAM IS GOING TO RELEASE A DRAFT NEXT WEEK.

SO AS SOON AS WE GET IT, WE WILL HAND IT OVER TO Y'ALL AND TO YOUR LEADERSHIP.

AND THEN THEY'RE EXPECTED TO MARKUP THEIR BILL THE LAST WEEK OF MAY BEFORE THEY RECESS FOR MEMORIAL DAY.

ON THE HOUSE SIDE IS TRANSPORTATION INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE, WHO WE'VE ALSO MET WITH AND SHARED OUR LANGUAGE RECENTLY.

AND THEY SEEM VERY SUPPORTIVE AS WELL AS THE SENATE.

AND THEY'RE PLANNING TO MARKUP THIS LAST WEEK OF MAY TOO.

AND THEY HOPING TO RELEASE THEIR TEXT REALLY, REALLY SOON.

LISA.

SORRY.

GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE.

JUST ON THE APPROPRIATIONS FRONT DATE UPFRONT, WE'VE GOT SOME INTERESTING ANALYSIS THIS MORNING ON A COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING REQUEST THAT GOT SUBMITTED TO CONGRESS.

THOSE ARE THE EARMARK REQUESTS FOR THE ANNUAL APPROPRIATION BILL.

SO THESE ARE SMALLER IN SIZE AND ARE FOR PROJECTS THAT CAN BE COMPLETED IN THE NEXT ONE TO TWO YEARS.

THE HOUSE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE IS GOING TO BEGIN MARKING UP THEIR BILLS IN JUNE.

AND THEN THE SENATE HAS FORMALLY ANNOUNCED THEIR PROCESS TO SUBMIT THE COMMUNITY PROJECT FUNDING REQUEST FOR THE SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE SIDE.

BUT JUST ONE NOTE HERE.

BOTH SENATORS, SENATOR RICK SCOTT AND SENATOR MARCO RUBIO ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN THAT PROCESS.

SO JUST WANTED TO KIND OF FLAG THAT FOR YOU ALL.

AND THEN WE SHOULD FIND OUT, TOO, ONCE THE HOUSE TRANSPORTATION AND INFRASTRUCTURE COMMITTEE STARTS TO RELEASE THEIR BILL AND MARKUP THEIR BILL.

WE SHOULD OBVIOUSLY SEE WHAT THOSE DOLLAR ALLOCATION AMOUNTS WILL BE FOR EACH MEMBER AND HOW THOSE PROJECTS WILL BE FUNDED.

WE'VE ALREADY KIND OF DONE AN INTERNAL ANALYSIS ON THIS AND YOUR BROWARD COUNTY DELEGATION FOR THE PROJECTS THAT THEY'VE ALL SUBMITTED THEY WERE HITTING THAT SWEET SPOT BETWEEN THE 15 TO 20 MILLION DOLLARS.

SO THE DOLLAR AMOUNTS THAT WE WERE REQUESTING, I THINK, IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE CAN SEE, YOU KNOW, BE APPROVED IN THE LEGISLATION AS IT MOVES FORWARD.

AND JUST ONE MORE NOTE ON THE TRI RAIL ROLLING STOCK.

CONGRESSWOMAN LOIS FRANKEL, SHE'S NOT ON THE LIST BECAUSE SHE REPRESENTS MOSTLY PALM BEACH COUNTY, BUT DID WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT SHE ALSO SUBMITTED A FUNDING REQUEST FOR THE TRI RAIL ROLLING STOCK.

SO BETWEEN ALL THE VARIOUS DIFFERENT MEMBERS OF CONGRESS THROUGHOUT THE BROWARD, PALM BEACH AND MIAMI, WE WILL SEE, YOU KNOW, A GOOD AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE TRI RAIL

[02:00:06]

AND THEN WE ARE ALL KIND OF VERY POSITIVE ABOUT THIS PROCESS.

WHEN WE STARTED IT, THERE WERE LOTS OF RESTRICTIONS PUT ON TO FUNDING.

FOR EXAMPLE, THEY'RE NOT EXPECTING THAT THEY WOULD NOT FUND PROJECTS MORE THAN ONE PERCENT OF THE DISCRETIONARY BUDGET.

AND THEY JUST DID ANALYSIS OF ALL THE REQUESTS THAT GOT SUBMITTED AND THEY'RE UNDER BUDGET.

SO EVERYBODY IS FEELING KIND OF GOOD SO FAR WHERE WE'RE AT ON THIS.

AND THEN LASTLY, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE DID FLAG FOR PAUL AND GREG THIS MORNING IS THAT THERE WAS LEGISLATION INTRODUCED EARLIER THIS WEEK MAKING MPO'S INCLUDE GREENHOUSE GASES IN THEIR LONG RANGE PLANNING.

AND SO THIS WAS A BILL THAT WAS INTRODUCED BY CONGRESSMAN LLOYD DOGGETT FROM TEXAS, ALONG WITH 20 OTHER MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.

AND IT IS SOMETHING THAT I THINK YOU COULD POSSIBLY SEE IN A SURFACE TRANSPORTATION REAUTHORIZATION BILL.

SO THAT'S IT FROM WASHINGTON.

AND JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON INFRASTRUCTURE, AS YOU KNOW, THE PRESIDENT INTRODUCED HIS INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE, AMERICAN JOBS PLAN, WHICH IS 2.25 TRILLION OVER EIGHT YEARS.

AND THEN A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, THE SENATE REPUBLICANS HAD A COUNTEROFFER AND THEIR BILL WAS FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY EIGHT BILLION DOLLARS OVER FIVE YEARS.

THE DIFFERENCE IS REPUBLICANS FOCUSED ON TRADITIONAL INFRASTRUCTURE SUCH AS TRANSIT AND RAIL AND HIGHWAYS, AVIATION AND WATER, WHEREAS THE PRESIDENT NOT ONLY INCLUDED TRADITIONAL, BUT ALSO ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS AND HOUSING IN THE POWER GRID AND BROADBAND AS WELL.

TODAY, THE PRESIDENT HAS INVITED THE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP OF THE AUTHORIZATION COMMITTEES WHO OVERSEE TRANSPORTATION, AND HE HAD A GOOD MEETING YESTERDAY WITH SENATE AND HOUSE REPUBLICAN LEADERSHIP.

THEY VERY MUCH WANT TO DO THIS ON A BIPARTISAN BASIS.

FINGERS CROSSED.

NOT SURE THAT COULD HAPPEN, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE WE'RE BECOMING CLOSER AND CLOSER TOGETHER.

SO WE'LL KEEP YOU POSTED ON THAT TOO.

THANK YOU.

SO WE DO HAVE CANDICE ERICKS OF TRIPP SCOTT ERICKS TO GIVE A STATE UPDATE, BUT I THINK THIS IS A GOOD BREAKING POINT IF WE WANTED TO FOCUS ON ANY QUESTIONS FOR OUR FEDERAL LOBBYISTS AT HOLLAND AND KNIGHT.

SO, MR. CALETKA, DO WE SEE ANY HANDS RAISED? NO HANDS ARE RAISED.

OK, SO THEN WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO MS. ERICKS WITH TRIPP SCOTT ERICKS, WHO NORMALLY WOULD BE IN OUR BOARDROOM GIVING THE STATE UPDATE BUT SHE'S IN TALLAHASSEE FOR A SPECIAL SESSION.

YES, SO THANK YOU, PAUL, AND I'M ALSO JOINED WITH LAUREN JACKSON, AND ROBBIE IS SITTING NEXT TO ME AS WELL, AND CHRIS, I THINK, IS TRAVELING UP.

SO, AS ALWAYS, WONDERFUL TO SEE EVERYBODY.

WE DO WISH WE WERE HOME.

UNFORTUNATELY, WE HAVE NOT LEFT TALLAHASSEE.

SO GREETINGS.

IT'S A RAINY DAY HERE.

SO WE'VE BEEN OUT HERE SINCE JANUARY.

SO LOOKING FORWARD TO COMING HOME HOPEFULLY NEXT WEEK.

BUT WOULD THAT REALLY JUST WANTED TO SAY IT WAS A VERY BUSY SESSION, BUT IT WAS NON-CONTROVERSIAL REALLY ON THE TRANSPORTATION FRONT.

YOU KNOW, WE'RE CONSTANTLY WORKING TO ENSURE THAT THE MPO HAS A SEAT AT THE TABLE, NOT ONLY WITH THE TRANSPORTATION GROUPS IN TALLAHASSEE, BUT ALSO AROUND THE STATE.

SO AND I'LL GIVE A LITTLE EXAMPLE OF KIND OF WHAT WE'VE BEEN INVOLVED WITH THIS SESSION AS WELL.

BUT WE ARE CONSTANTLY, LIKE I SAID, MAKING SURE THAT THE MPO HAS ITS OWN VOICE, BECAUSE I KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE WHEN WE PRESENTED THAT MANY OF YOU THAT SIT ON THE MPO BELONG TO OTHER ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE CITY, SUCH AS THE COUNTY, SUCH AS SFRTA THAT HAVE DIFFERENT AGENDAS, SAME AGENDAS, SOMETIMES SIMILAR A LITTLE BIT HAVE FLAP OVER.

BUT REALLY, THE MPO HAS ITS OWN AGENDA.

SO WE ARE REALLY MAKING A STATEMENT AND UNIQUELY MAKING SURE THAT PEOPLE KNOW THAT THE BROWARD COUNTY MPO HAS A SEAT AT THE TABLE, THEY HAVE AN AGENDA AND THEY HAVE ISSUES THAT AFFECT THEM.

AND SO THAT'S WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING NOT ONLY THIS SESSION, BUT OBVIOUSLY IN PREVIOUS SESSIONS.

BUT THE MAIN THING IS I DO WANT TO SAY THANKS TO ESPECIALLY TO REBECCA, BUT ALSO TO GREG AND PAUL AS WELL, AND TO EVERYBODY HERE.

[02:05:01]

AND IT WAS VERY NERVE WRACKING FOR ME BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY HAVING EVERYBODY TRY AND DO THAT SEAMLESSLY UP HERE AND ACTUALLY BRINGING IN THE DELEGATION AND BRINGING IN, OBVIOUSLY, SECRETARY THIBEAULT, IT WAS WONDERFUL TO HAVE GREG THERE FOREFRONT WITH THE SECRETARY ALSO AS THE POINT OF TRANSPORTATION.

BUT WE HAD OBVIOUSLY, FOR MANY OF YOU WHO ATTENDED, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT.

WE HAVE THE DELEGATION, LIKE I SAID, WE HAVE THE SECRETARY, BUT WE ALSO HAD THE MAJORITY OF ALL THE AGENCY HEADS.

WE HAD THE CABINET INVOLVEMENT.

WE HAD THE SENATE PRESIDENT.

WE HAD THE NEXT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE.

SO REALLY, IT WAS WONDERFUL TO HAVE ALL THAT.

WE REALLY KEPT ATTENDANCE PRETTY MUCH THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE FIVE HOURS.

SO JUST A BIG SHOUT OUT TO YOUR TEAM THAT ACTUALLY MADE A WONDERFUL, WONDERFUL EVENT HAPPEN UP HERE, BUT SURROUNDING AND KNOWING THAT THE MPO WAS HOSTING IT.

SO IT WAS A WONDERFUL EVENT FOR THAT, BUT ALSO FOR KIND OF A SPOTLIGHT ON THE MPO.

SO A FEW THINGS THAT WE'VE ALSO BEEN WORKING ON THIS YEAR.

I GOT INVITED TO A NEW GROUP, WHICH IS WONDERFUL ON BEHALF OF THE MPO AND

[02:10:43]

AND WE HAVE TWO OTHER FORMER SECRETARIES OF DOT THAT SIT WITH US WEEKLY ON TUESDAYS AND DISCUSS LEGISLATION AND DISCUSS POSSIBLE LEGISLATION.

SO I KNOW THAT MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING ON FLEXIBILITY LANGUAGE UP HERE IN TALLAHASSEE, AS LAUREN LIKES TO SAY TO ME CONSTANTLY, THAT EVERYBODY IN TRANSPORTATION KNOWS THAT THE MPO WANTS MORE FLEXIBILITY.

AND SO WE ARE WORKING ON THAT CONSTANTLY WITH THE SECRETARY AND HIS OFFICE UP HERE.

I JUST SPOKE TO THEM AGAIN YESTERDAY.

SO I THINK WE'RE MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION TO GETTING ON THE SAME PAGE IS SOMETHING THAT WE CAN REALLY MOVE THE NEEDLE ON FOR NEXT YEAR.

MOVING INTO THE SUMMER I'M GOING TO SEND IT OVER TO LAUREN IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES, JUST TALK ABOUT THE SESSION.

BUT I DO WANT EVERYBODY TO BE AWARE THAT MOVING INTO THE SESSION THIS SUMMER AND IN THE NEXT MONTH AND A HALF, WE HAVE ALREADY SET UP MEETINGS WITH LEGISLATORS THAT HAVE HELD THE DOT PACKAGES THIS SESSION AND ALSO THE CHAIRS AND THE PEOPLE WHO ARE GOING TO BE SITTING ON THIS COMMITTEE.

CLEARLY, AS I MENTIONED IN OUR LAST PRESENTATION, WE HAVE A NEW SENATE PRESIDENT AND A NEW SPEAKER, AND THEY'VE CREATED ALL NEW COMMITTEES.

[02:15:34]

SO EDUCATING THEM AND EDUCATING THEM ABOUT US IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

SO WE SPENT THE SESSION DOING THAT AS WELL.

AND THEN ALSO FLORIDIANS FOR TRANSPORTATION IS HAVING THEIR BIG CONFERENCE THAT WE WILL BE ATTENDING.

AND THAT'S ALSO IN THE AREA WHERE THE NEXT SENATE PRESIDENT AREA IS IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.

SO IT'S OVER ON THE WEST COAST.

YOU'LL BE INVOLVED IN THAT.

AND I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE MPO FOR SOMETHING THAT THEIR INVOLVEMENT AND THEIR DIRECTION.

SO MAINLY THE SUPPORT THAT THEY HAVE GIVEN REGARDING THE DELEGATION LEGISLATION UP HERE.

ALSO THIS SESSION, FOR AN EXAMPLE, LIKE WITH THE PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE SAFETY LEGISLATION BY REP HUNSCHOFSKY, GREG AND I SPOKE.

WE WERE ABLE TO HELP WITH THAT.

BUT THE MAIN THING WAS THAT THE FACT IS SUPPORTING OUR DELEGATION AND SUPPORTING THE THINGS THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO BROWARD AND THINGS THAT WE NEED TO DEAL WITH UP HERE IN BROWARD, I THINK ARE EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

AND THEN ALSO LASTLY, BEFORE I SEND IT OVER TO LAUREN AGAIN, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT WE HAVE THE WASHINGTON SUMMIT COMING UP, WHICH I KNOW IS A FEDERAL ISSUE.

BUT YET I'M WORKING CLOSELY WITH WITH GREG AND PAUL ON THAT BECAUSE I CHAIRED THE TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE FOR THE CHAMBER.

BUT I ALSO SIT ON THE ISSUES COMMITTEE.

SO MAKING SURE THAT OBVIOUSLY THE RIGHT HAND AND THE LEFT HAND KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOING IN COLLABORATION, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT.

SO WITH THAT, I'LL TURN IT OVER TO LAUREN AND SHE'LL GO OVER THE LEGISLATION THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON AND WHAT HAPPENED UP HERE IN TALLAHASSEE AND WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW.

AND WE'LL COME BACK FOR QUESTIONS FOR ANYBODY WHO HAS ANY OR ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

HEY EVERYONE AND I'LL TRY TO BE REALLY QUICK, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS IS THE FINAL END OF THE PRESENTATIONS TODAY, BUT THE BUDGET ENDED UP IN A REALLY GREAT SPOT.

THEY PASSED ONE HUNDRED AND ONE BILLION DOLLAR BUDGET AND THAT WAS ABOUT TWO POINT THREE BILLION OF STATE FUNDING.

AND THEN THE REST WAS FEDERAL FUNDING.

IN TERMS OF THAT INCREASE THAT WE SAW, THEY ALSO ALLOCATED SIX POINT SEVEN BILLION OF THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN DOLLARS THAT WE CAN ANTICIPATE GETTING AND THEN SET ASIDE THE REST OF THAT INTO OUR RESERVE FUNDS.

SO WE HAVE ABOUT SIX BILLION IN RESERVES AT THIS POINT OR AFTER THE FEDERAL FUNDING AND ALL IS SAID AND DONE.

THE WORK PROGRAM WAS NINE POINT TWO BILLION, AND THEN THERE WAS AN ADDITIONAL TWO BILLION IN THE AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN DOLLARS THAT WAS ALLOCATED TO THAT TO BACKFILL ANY ISSUES WITH THE WORK PROGRAM.

AND THOSE PROJECTS THAT WERE DELETED OR DEFERRED DURING THE COVID-19 CRISIS.

AND ALSO PART OF THAT IS AN EARMARK.

TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION DOLLAR EARMARKED TO SEAPORTS AS WELL FOR ANY SEAPORTS THAT WERE IMPACTED FOR CRUISE OR CARGO TRAFFIC THAT WAS IMPACTED DURING COVID-19.

THAT WAS PRETTY CRITICAL BECAUSE SEAPORTS WERE NOT INCLUDED IN ANY OF THE FEDERAL PACKAGES THAT HAVE PASSED JUST YET.

HOPEFULLY THERE MIGHT BE SOMETHING IN THIS INFRASTRUCTURE PACKAGE FOR THE SEAPORTS, BUT OBVIOUSLY THEY WERE VERY IMPACTED BY COVID AND SO WE WERE ABLE TO GET THAT 250 MILLION EARMARKED TOWARDS THEM.

ONE OF THE BIGGEST BILLS THAT PASSED THIS YEAR WAS THE STATE WIDE FLOODING AND SEA LEVEL RISE INITIATIVE.

THAT WAS A HUGE EFFORT.

AND THE SPEAKER WORKED VERY CLOSELY WITH THE AMERICAN FLOOD COALITION ON THAT BILL.

I KNOW A LOT OF YOU ARE PART OF THE AMERICAN COALITION, AND THE SPEAKER GAVE A LOT OF INFLUENCE TO THEM IN THAT PACKAGE.

SO THAT WAS REALLY HUGE.

IT'S ONE OF THE MOST AGGRESSIVE PLANS IN THE COUNTRY FOR TACKLING SEA LEVEL RISE INFRASTRUCTURE.

AND ALSO, AS PART OF THAT DEAL, THE LEGISLATURE DECIDED TO GUARANTEE AN ALLOCATION ONE HUNDRED AND ELEVEN POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLAR ALLOCATION ANNUALLY FROM DOCK STAMPED TAX REVENUE TO THE RESILIENCY GRANT FUND THAT'S CREATED IN THAT PACKAGE.

SO THAT'S ONE HUNDRED MILLION GUARANTEED EVERY YEAR GOING TO THAT.

THEY ALSO ALLOCATED FIVE HUNDRED MILLION IN AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN DOLLARS TO GET THAT GRANT FUNDING STARTED.

SO THAT WAS AN EXCITING.

A BILL THAT CAME OUT OF THIS SESSION THIS YEAR AND THE GOVERNOR ACTUALLY SIGNED IT YESTERDAY.

IN TERMS OF TRANSPORTATION, AS CANDICE SAID IT WASN'T SO CONTROVERSIAL THIS YEAR, THE DOT WAS ABLE TO GET ITS PACKAGE THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF HIGHWAY SAFETY AND MOTOR VEHICLES WAS ABLE TO GET ITS PACKAGE THROUGH.

THEY WERE SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO WHAT THEY HAD ATTEMPTED TO PASS LAST YEAR.

AND THEN THERE WAS ALSO ANOTHER TRANSPORTATION PACKAGE THAT WAS NOT FROM EITHER AGENCY, WHICH ALSO PASSED AS WELL.

AND THAT PACKAGE INCLUDED SEVERAL ISSUES.

ONE OF THOSE WAS AN ISSUE THAT CANDICE AND I HAD ACTUALLY HAD BEEN WORKING ON FOR OUR AIRPORT, WHICH EXEMPTS THEM FROM A PROHIBITION ON THE SAME COMPANY, DOING BOTH DESIGN, INSPECTION, DESIGN, BUILD AND INSPECTION SERVICES ON THE SAME CONTRACT.

WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE SEAPORTS EXEMPTED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

AND SO THIS WAS FOLLOWING UP AND AT THE REQUEST OF OUR AIRPORT, GETTING THEM EXEMPTED, AIRPORTS EXEMPTED AS WELL FROM THAT PROHIBITION.

IT ALSO INCLUDED A REPEAL ON MIAMI-DADE'S TBA.

THEY HAVE A PROHIBITION CURRENTLY TO WHERE THEY CAN'T ASSESS THEIR GOVERNMENTAL MEMBERS, GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY MEMBERS FEES.

AND SO THAT WAS ACTUALLY REPEALED IN THAT BILL AS WELL.

AND THEN FINALLY, IT ALSO INCLUDED A PREEMPTION ON BALLOT INITIATIVES THAT REGULATE

[02:20:01]

AND WHILE THAT PREEMPTION APPLIES TO ALL SEAPORTS, IT ONLY APPLIES TO BALLOT INITIATIVES.

ORIGINALLY, THAT BILL WOULD HAVE PREEMPTED ALL LOCAL GOVERNMENT REGULATION OF SEAPORTS, WHICH WAS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR PORT EVERGLADES, OBVIOUSLY, BECAUSE WE ARE A COUNTY RUN SEAPORT.

AND SO WE WORKED VERY EXTENSIVELY ON THAT BILL TO ENSURE THAT PORT EVERGLADES WAS CARVED OUT OF THAT PREEMPTION.

BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, THE BALLOT INITIATIVE LANGUAGE PASSED AND THAT IS TARGETING SPECIFICALLY KEY WEST BECAUSE THE CITY OF KEY WEST HAD PASSED A BALLOT INITIATIVE THAT RESTRICTED THE SIZE OF CRUISE SHIPS AND ALSO REQUIRED CERTAIN ENVIRONMENTAL RECORDS FROM THOSE CRUISE SHIPS.

SO THAT'S WHAT THAT IS TARGETING.

FOR EMERGING TECH THERE WAS A BILL THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED AN ELECTRIC VEHICLE GRANT PROGRAM AND WOULD HAVE CREATED FEES FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLES.

AND THAT BILL DID NOT PASS.

BUT THEY DID EXPAND THE USE OF DRONES.

THEY AUTHORIZED AUTONOMOUS DELIVERY VEHICLES.

AND ALSO THERE WERE SEVERAL BILLS THAT PREEMPTED LOCAL GOVERNMENTS FROM REGULATING ENERGY AND UTILITIES AND POWER FOR TRANSPORTATION.

SO THE MAIN THING IS THEY DIDN'T WANT CITIES BANNING GAS STATIONS IN THEIR JURISDICTIONS OR MANDATING ANY CERTAIN TYPE OF TRANSPORTATION ENERGY, SUCH AS ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGING STATIONS AT GAS STATIONS OR PREVENTING PEOPLE FROM USING NATURAL GAS IN THEIR HOMES.

I GUESS APPARENTLY A COUPLE OF LOCAL GOVERNMENTS HAD BEEN CONSIDERING THOSE TYPES OF ORDINANCES.

AND SO THE LEGISLATURE WANTED TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF THAT.

SO THAT WAS ALSO AN INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT AS WELL.

FOR SAFETY CANDICE MENTIONED THAT THE BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY PACKAGE FROM REPRESENTATIVE HUNSCHOFSKY AND SENATOR BOTH PASSED.

SO THAT WAS A REALLY GREAT THING.

ONE BILL THAT DID NOT PASS WAS THE MID BLOCK CROSSWALK BILL.

THAT WAS THE BILL THAT WOULD HAVE REQUIRED DOT TO REQUEST AUTHORIZATION TO CHANGE ALL THE MID BLOCK CROSSWALKS FROM YELLOW FLASHING LIGHTS TO RED FLASHING LIGHTS.

AND EVEN IF THEY DID NOT GET THAT AUTHORIZATION FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, THAT MEANT THAT THEY WOULD THEN HAVE TO TAKE THEM DOWN OR REMOVE THEM.

IT ALSO WOULD HAVE REQUIRED AN ENGINEER TO SIGN OFF BEFORE ANY MID BLOCK CROSSWALKS WERE NEEDED.

BUT THAT WAS ACTUALLY A CHANGE THAT WAS MADE FOR THE LEAGUE OF CITIES OR THAT THE LEAGUE OF CITIES WAS ABLE TO NEGOTIATE OUT OF THAT PACKAGE.

BUT THAT PACKAGE ULTIMATELY DID FAIL.

IT PASSED THE HOUSE, BUT NOT THE SENATE.

ANOTHER PACKAGE THAT DID PASS THAT'S ACTUALLY REALLY HUGE IS PIP REFORM, WHICH I KNOW IT'S JUST FOR EVERYONE TO KNOW YOUR CAR INSURANCE WILL BE CHANGING.

THEY'VE CHANGED FROM PERSONAL INJURY PROTECTION, THE NO FAULT SYSTEM THAT FLORIDA HAS HAD FOREVER AND EVER IS NOW GOING TO MANDATORY BODILY INJURY COVERAGE.

SO JUST AN FYI ON THAT AND THEN JUST TO ROUND IT OUT WITH GOVERNMENTAL ENTITY ISSUES, THEY PASSED THE COVID-19 LIABILITY PACKAGE, WHICH WAS A REALLY BIG BILL AS WELL, AND THAT GRANTED STRONG COVID-19 LIABILITY PROTECTIONS TO GOVERNMENTAL ENTITIES ALONG WITH HEALTH CARE ENTITIES AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS, ET CETERA.

AND THEN ANOTHER THING THAT FAILED JUST TO BE AWARE OF WAS ALSO AN FRS REFORM PACKAGE THAT THE SENATE PRESIDENT IS A PRIORITY FOR THE SENATE PRESIDENT.

WE DO EXPECT THAT BILL TO COME BACK.

WE ALSO EXPECT THE MID BLOCK CROSSWALK BILL TO COME BACK AS WELL.

SO JUSTIFY FYI ON THAT.

BUT BUT THE HOUSE NEVER ENTERTAIN THE FRS REFORM PACKAGE.

BUT WE DO EXPECT FOR THE SENATE PRESIDENT TO CONTINUE HIS EFFORTS ON THAT NEXT SESSION.

AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY IT IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS.

THANK YOU.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE A QUESTION FOR OUR ADVOCATES? YES, VICE MAYOR CARN.

THANK YOU, SIR.

I DIDN'T HAVE A QUESTION, I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO THESE GREAT WORKERS THAT WE HAVE THESE GREAT ADVOCATES IN OUR CORNER.

IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK.

I'VE BEEN ON THE ADVOCACY TRAIL BEFORE.

I'M SURE I'M PREACHING TO THE CHOIR, BUT IT TAKES A LOT OF WORK.

AND WE CERTAINLY THANK YOU FOR ALL THE HARD WORK THAT YOU DO FOR BROWARD.

YES, I ECHO THOSE COMMENTS.

THANK YOU, VICE MAYOR.

ANYBODY ELSE HAVE A COMMENT OR A QUESTION? OK, THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING AND PROVIDING THAT UPDATE, I WANT TO THANK THE MEMBERSHIP FOR WATCHING ALL THESE INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATIONS TODAY.

YOUR TIME IS VERY MUCH APPRECIATED.

OUR NEXT BOARD MEETING IS ACTUALLY ON JUNE 10TH, AND I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO YOU IN THE NEAR FUTURE TO GET VOLUNTEERS TO COME INTO THE OFFICE SO THAT WE HAVE A PHYSICAL QUORUM AND ALLOW THOSE MEMBERS THAT WANT TO REMAIN REMOTE TO DO SO.

AND IT WILL BE UP TO YOU.

SO I'LL THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR ANYBODY WHO VOLUNTEERS FOR THE IN-PERSON QUORUM THAT IS MANDATED BY THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND.

MR. CALETKA BEFORE YOU SAY GOODBYE TO EVERYBODY, I WANT TO MAKE SURE EVERYBODY REMEMBERS.

THE JUNE 10TH MEETING IS ALSO OUR GENERAL ELECTION.

SO THAT'S FOR CHAIR, VICE CHAIR, DEPUTY CHAIR, AS WELL AS EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBERS.

SO THAT IS COMING UP ON JUNE 10TH.

SO THAT'LL BE AT THE TOP OF THE MEETING.

AND THAT PREPARES US FOR THE FOLLOWING NEW BUDGET YEAR.

JULY ONE IS OUR NEW BUDGET YEAR.

AND THAT ACTUALLY JULY MEETING THE NEW BOARD WILL BE SEATED YOU KNOW, AS FAR AS THE LEADERSHIP.

AND THE LEADERSHIP, JUST TO REMIND EVERYBODY, NOT ONLY HANDLES OUR LEGISLATIVE SIDE, BUT A LOT OF THE DAY TO DAY OPERATIONAL UPWP ISSUES THAT WE HAVE AND MR. CALETKA, I WANT TO THANK YOU AND THE ENTIRE TEAM, OUR TEAM, FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER.

MEMBERS, WE TOTALLY APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

AND REALLY, YOU KNOW, WE HAD UP TO ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR PEOPLE AT ONE POINT.

I REALLY THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, THESE TYPE OF FORUMS ARE ALSO USEFUL FOR US.

BUT WE'RE GOING TO GET BACK TO THE IN-PERSON MEETINGS AS WE START OUR NEW BUDGET YEAR.

AND, YOU KNOW, THANKFULLY, HOPEFULLY GET AHEAD OF THE VIRUS.

AND WITH THAT, BACK TO MR. CALETKA.

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY, FOR YOUR TIME.

YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL REST OF YOUR AFTERNOON.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO AREN'T FEELING QUITE WELL, GET WELL SOON.

SO THAT WAY WE CAN ALL ROLL UP OUR SLEEVES AND GET BACK TO WORK.

ALL RIGHT.

THANK YOU AND HAVE A GREAT DAY.
