[6. MPO Surtax Services Updates: http://www.browardmpo.org/index.php/current-projects-studies/surtax]

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

MY NAME IS MY NAME IS KATRINA [INAUDIBLE].

BUT YOU CAN CALL ME KAT.

I'M THE PRIMARY POINT OF CONTACT FOR APPLICATION AND READINESS REVIEWS FOR MCPS.

SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE ALREADY MET ME BY SCHEDULING A ONE ON ONE MEETING TO DISCUSS MCPS OR TO CONDUCT A READINESS REVIEW FOR A CYCLE ONE MCP.

TODAY'S UPDATE PRESENTS A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF PROGRESS MADE AND NEW TOOLS FOR MCPS.

AFTER MEETING WITH THE COUNTY LAST YEAR, IMPROVEMENTS WERE MADE TO THE PROGRAM.

THERE ARE THREE PRIMARY OBJECTIVES FOR THE MPO TO IMPROVE THIS YEAR'S APPLICATION CYCLE.

A RECENTLY LAUNCHED WEBSITE AS A VALUABLE RESOURCE TO THE CITIES PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR CYCLE ONE PROJECTS AS THEY ARE THE COUNTY'S PRIORITY FOR FUNDING AND TO HELP CITY SUBMIT NEW MCPS THROUGH THE DATABASE THAT CAN BE ACCESSED ON THE NEWLY LAUNCHED WEBSITE.

THE ROLE OF THE MPO IS TO EDUCATE, TRAIN AND SUPPORT MUNICIPALITIES WITH MCP PROJECTS, AND THE MPO IS EDUCATING MUNICIPALITIES BY INFORMING THE CITIES ON MATTERS LIKE ELIGIBILITY. ELIGIBILITY.

I'M SORRY, WHICH IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED BY THE COUNTY, RANKING AND RECOMMENDATION AND OTHER RELEVANT PROCESSES TO MCPS.

TRAININGS ARE ALSO LED BY THE MPO, SUCH AS HOW TO COMPLETE FUTURE APPLICATIONS.

SUPPORT IS PROVIDED TO MUNICIPALITIES BY PROVIDING ASSISTANCE IN IDENTIFYING NEW PROJECT IDEAS TO SUBMIT OR TO HELP DIFFERENT CITIES CONNECT WITH THE COUNTY TO OBTAIN FUNDING AGREEMENTS FOR EXAMPLE.

THE MPO HAS TWO PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES, WHICH IS TO RANK AND RECOMMEND PROJECTS.

AFTER MPOS RECOMMEND A PROJECT, THE COUNTY CURRENTLY HAS TWO AVENUES TO THEN FUND THE PROJECTS. THE FIRST AVENUE IS WITHIN THE MAG, OR THE MINIMUM ANNUAL GUARANTEE IN WHICH CYCLE ONE PROJECTS ARE THE PRIORITY.

THE SECOND AVENUE IS EXCEEDING THE MAG, WHICH IS OF THE COUNTY HAS TO INITIATE.

THE MAG IS ONLY 10 PERCENT OF THE ENTIRE SURTAX PROGRAM.

MORE INFORMATION ON THE MAG WILL BE SHARED.

THE MPO RECOMMENDS MCPS WITHIN THE MAG, SO THAT'S OUR PRIMARY ROLE.

THERE ARE ABOUT FOUR PROGRAMS BEING FUNDED BY THE SURTAX.

I'M SORRY THE 10 THE THE 10 PERCENT OF THE MAG.

HOWEVER, IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT ONLY THE MUNICIPAL CAPITAL PROJECTS IS IN THE REALM OF THE MPO.

THE MPO RECOMMENDED ALMOST $20 MILLION OF MCPS IN THE LAST YEAR.

THE CYCLE ONE PROJECTS ARE THE ORIGINAL 110 MCPS THAT WERE ORIGINALLY SUBMITTED AND ARE THE PRIORITY FOR FUNDING AS THEIR RANKINGS DO NOT CHANGE UNTIL THE PROJECTS ARE IMPLEMENTED OR WITHDRAWN BY THE MUNICIPALITY.

IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND THAT NEW MCPS WILL NEED TO BE RESUBMITTED EACH YEAR AND WILL NOT HOLD THEIR RANKING.

UNLIKE CYCLE ONE PROJECTS, WE CURRENTLY ARE WORKING WITH MUNICIPALITIES TO IDENTIFY AND SUBMIT NEW PROJECTS FOR THE UPCOMING CYCLE.

PROGRESS IS BEING MADE BY THE COUNTY TO ACCELERATE A CYCLE ONE.

MCPS A MAJORITY OF THE ALLOCATED FUNDING, 75 PERCENT HAS IOAS THAT HAVE BEEN EXECUTED OR IN PROGRESS OF EXECUTION.

THIS MEANS THAT FUNDING FOR NEW MCPS MAY BE AVAILABLE MUCH SOONER THAN ANTICIPATED.

EACH YEAR PER AMENDMENT TWO THE MPO WILL OPEN THE APPLICATION PERIOD ON THE SECOND FRIDAY OF MARCH FOR 28 DAYS.

AFTERWARDS, THE MPO REVIEWS THE APPLICATIONS AND RANKS TO THE PROJECTS TO THE MAP ADMINISTRATOR BY JUNE 1ST.

YOU CAN VISIT THE WEBSITE AND CLICK ON THE DOCUMENTS TAB TO REVIEW THE MPO'S POLICIES AND PROCEDURES FOR EVALUATING UMCPS.

I ACTUALLY WILL SHOW YOU HOW TO GET THERE IN JUST A MOMENT.

THIS IS THE HOME PAGE OF THE NEW WEBSITE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, AND I DON'T BELIEVE WE

[00:10:04]

BUT I DO A WORKSHOP.

I DO. WE DO WORKSHOPS AT THIS POINT ON A MONTHLY BASIS UNTIL THE ENDING OF THE APPLICATION PERIOD ENDS.

AT THIS POINT, IT'S GOING TO BE APRIL 8TH.

YOU CAN ALSO FIND THE HOW CAN WE HELP US FORM ON THERE AND YOU CAN SCHEDULE A MEETING TO DISCUSS MCPS WITH US.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS [INAUDIBLE]? ANY QUESTIONS FROM ONLINE? NO QUESTIONS. GREAT, THANK YOU FOR THE UPDATE.

NEXT, WE'LL MOVE INTO THE ACTION ITEMS, OUR FIRST ACTION ITEM AND OUR ONLY ACTION ITEM IS

[2. MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE the Complete Streets and Other Localized Initiatives Program (CSLIP) Cycle 6 Priority List of Projects, Directing MPO Staff to Work with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Staff on the Vetting and Programing of Viable Projects]

HI, GOOD AFTERNOON, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

MY NAME IS KERRIE MACNEIL WITH THE BROWARD MPO, AND I'M HERE TODAY TO GIVE YOU AN UPDATE ON CYCLES FOUR AND FIVE OF THE CSLIP PROGRAM, AS WELL AS THE CURRENT CYCLE CYCLE SIX.

SO AS MOST OF YOU MIGHT KNOW, CSLIP STANDS FOR COMPLETE STREETS AND OTHER LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM AND QUICK OVERVIEW.

THE INTENT OF THE PROGRAM IS TO PROVIDE FUNDING FOR SMALL LOCAL TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS WHICH IMPROVE THE SAFETY AND MOBILITY OF FOR ALL TRANSPORTATION USERS IN BROWARD.

AND THE COMPETITIVE GRANT PROGRAM CAN FUND PROJECTS SUCH AS, BUT NOT LIMITED TO COMPLETE STREETS PROJECTS, ADA IMPROVEMENTS, MOBILITY HUBS, BIKE RACKS, TECHNOLOGY ADVANCEMENTS, TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES AND SO ON.

SO AS STATED BEFORE, WE'RE GOING TO GO OVER THE FINAL RESULTS FOR THE PROJECTS THAT WERE PROGRAMED FOR CYCLES FOUR AND FIVE, WHICH WERE FROM 2020 AND 2021, AND THEN ALSO GO OVER AN UPDATE TO THE RANKINGS FOR CYCLE SIX, WHICH IS THE CURRENT CYCLE FOR 2022, AND THEN CSLIP MOVING FORWARD. SO AN UPDATE FOR CYCLE FOUR AND CYCLE FOUR FINAL RESULTS.

SO WE ARE ABLE TO FUND FIVE PROJECTS FROM FIVE DIFFERENT AGENCIES FOR A TOTAL OF THIRTEEN POINT NINE MILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING.

OH, SORRY, CYCLE THE CYCLE FOUR SO FOR CYCLE FIVE, WE'RE ABLE TO FUND FOUR PROJECTS FROM FOUR DIFFERENT AGENCIES FOR A TOTAL OF SIX POINT ONE MILLION DOLLARS IN FUNDING.

SO IF YOU'D LIKE TO SEE MORE INFORMATION ABOUT WHICH PROJECTS WERE FUNDED, THOSE NINE PROJECTS, YOU CAN FIND THE LIST OF THE PROGRAM PROJECTS ON THE CSLIP WEB PAGE.

IF YOU GO TO PAST AWARDS, THEY'RE LISTED THERE.

THERE'S A LINK TO THE THE FULL LIST.

LETTERS HAVE BEEN SENT TO AGENCIES WITH AWARDED PROJECTS, AND THEN IF YOU'D LIKE TO LOOK AT THE DETAILED FUNDING INFORMATION, IT CAN BE FOUND IN THE BROWARD COUNTY CITIZEN'S REPORT. SO THESE ARE ALL HYPERLINKS HERE IN THIS POWERPOINT.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO TAKE A LOOK THERE AND THE MPO AND FDOT WILL BE WORKING WITH INDIVIDUAL AGENCIES AS THEIR PROJECTS MOVE FORWARD THROUGH THE DIFFERENT STAGES AND ONTO CYCLE SIX.

THE CURRENT CYCLE.

THE APPLICATION CYCLE CLOSED NOVEMBER 10, 2021.

WE'VE RECEIVED 16 ELIGIBLE APPLICATIONS FROM 13 DIFFERENT AGENCIES AND OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS SINCE NOVEMBER, WE'VE BEEN EVALUATING AND PRIORITIZING THE PROJECTS, SO I'LL GO AHEAD AND GET INTO THE RANKED LIST.

FONT IS A LITTLE BIT SMALL, SO BUT HOPEFULLY YOU CAN SEE IT A LITTLE BIT BETTER ON YOUR MONITORS IN FRONT OF YOU.

SO FROM FROM THE LEFT HAND SIDE, YOU CAN SEE THE HIGHLIGHTED BLUE IS THE OBJECTIVE RANK, SO THAT'S WHAT WE DO FIRST.

IS THE PROJECTS ARE DIGITIZED OR GEO CODED AND THEY'RE PLACED INTO THE THE RANKING TOOL GIS BASED RANKING TOOL.

AND SO THEY EARN POINTS BASED ON THE DIFFERENT CRITERIA FOUND IN THE CSLIP CRITERIA CHART. AND WE GET A, YOU KNOW, A TOTAL SCORE.

AND THEN THE NEXT STEP IS WITH THE CSLIP PROGRAM WE HAVE, WE APPLY ROUNDS OF FUNDING.

SO SINCE AN AGENCY CAN APPLY FOR TWO PROJECTS IN ONE CYCLE, IF THEY APPLY FOR TWO PROJECTS, THE THEY HAVE BASICALLY THE SECOND PROJECT THAT RANKS LOWEST OUT OF THE TWO THAT THEY SUBMIT, IT GETS BUMPED TO THE SECOND ROUND OF FUNDING.

SO THIS BLUE LINE HERE BETWEEN 13 AND 14, THAT REPRESENTS FUNDING ROUND TWO.

SO THAT'S WHERE YOU SEE THE CITIES WHO SUBMITTED.

THAT'S THEIR SECOND PROJECT THAT THEY SUBMITTED.

[00:15:01]

THEY CAN INCLUDE IN THEIR RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT.

THAT'S A PART OF THEIR PROJECT'S APPLICATION, THAT THEY PRIORITIZE ONE PROJECT OVER THE OTHER AND THEY COULD DO A SWAP IF IF ONE IF THAT PROJECT THAT THEY PRIORITIZE RANKS LOWER THAN THE OTHER. THE ONLY CITY HERE OR AGENCY HERE THAT DID DO THAT IS CITY OF HOLLYWOOD, AND IT JUST SO HAPPENED THAT THE PROJECT THAT THEY PRIORITIZE RANKED HIGHER ANYWAY.

SO THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE OBJECTIVE IN THE ROUND RANKS.

SO THE FINAL RANKINGS YOU CAN SEE HERE WE HAVE AGAIN 16.

THE FIRST EIGHT ARE ON THIS SLIDE AND THEN IN A MINUTE I'LL GO TO THE SECOND EIGHT ON THE SECOND SLIDE AND AGAIN YOU CAN SEE THAT BLUE HORIZONTAL LINE REPRESENTING THE FUNDING ROUND. SO ANYTHING ABOVE THE BLUE LINE IS ROUND ONE, AND ANYTHING BELOW THE BLUE LINE IS AROUND TWO. OK, SO MOVING FORWARD, PENDING THE BOARD'S APPROVAL, THE APPLICATIONS WILL BE VETTED BY MPO AND FDOT STAFF AND THEN CYCLE SIX SITE VISITS WILL TAKE PLACE IN THE SPRING SUMMER OF THIS YEAR.

AND THEN, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW, NEXT CYCLE, CYCLE SEVEN WILL BE DUE AND IS ANTICIPATED TO BE DUE IN NOVEMBER OF 2022.

SO IT'S NEVER TOO EARLY TO START WORKING ON YOUR APPLICATIONS FOR NEXT YEAR.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE PRE-OP MEETINGS IN THE FALL OR SUMMER, FALL TO, YOU KNOW, CALL ME OR REACH OUT TO ME AND START TALKING ABOUT YOUR PROJECTS AND GET YOUR APPLICATIONS READY AND PARTNER RESOLUTIONS AND FDOT LETTERS OF SUPPORT.

DEFINITELY START THOSE EARLY BECAUSE THEY DO TAKE, TAKE A WHILE OR EVEN CAN TAKE EVEN LONGER THAN 6 TO 8 WEEKS.

AND AS ALWAYS, ANY UPDATES WILL BE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE.

CSLIP WEBPAGE AND THAT'S IT FOR ME.

IF YOU ALL HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, I'M HERE.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU, KERRIE. QUESTIONS, NICK.

THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

IT'S NOT REALLY AS MUCH OF A QUESTION, JUST REALLY A COMMENT AND JUST A NOTE FOR THE FOR THE RECORD AND FOR THE FOLKS HERE THAT, YOU KNOW, AS THESE PROJECTS GET FUNDED AND PRIORITIZED, WE HIGHLY ENCOURAGE MUNICIPAL APPLICANTS HAVE BEEN AWARDED FUNDING FOR CSLIP TO COORDINATE EARLY WITH BROWARD COUNTY TRANSIT HERE TO ENSURE THAT THE PROJECTS THAT ARE MOVING FORWARD FOR DESIGN MEET TRANSIT STANDARDS MOVING FORWARD.

AND BECAUSE THAT'S A MAJOR PART OF KIND OF THE CSLIP MAKING SURE THAT TRANSIT COORDINATED IN THE PROCESS. SO THANK YOU.

THANK YOU FOR THAT, NICK. MICHAEL.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I MAY HAVE MISSED IT.

WAS THERE A TOTAL SUMMARY OF OF THE PROJECT COST FOR CYCLE SIX ON THE CSLIP AWARDS? SO THE CYCLE SIX PROJECTS HAVE NOT BEEN AWARDED YET.

THEY'VE JUST BEEN RANKED.

AND SO THEY STILL NEED TO GO THROUGH THE FDOT VETTING BEFORE WE AWARD THEM.

BUT THERE IS THE THE TOTAL PROJECT COST IS IN THE FURTHEST RIGHT HAND SIDE COLUMN FOR THIS PROJECTS IN CYCLE SIX.

IS THAT WERE YOU LOOKING FOR THE TOTAL OF EVERY PROJECT THAT WAS RANKED? YES. SO MAYBE I JUST NEED AN EXPLANATION.

ON CYCLE FOUR, WE HAD ALMOST 14 MILLION, IN CYCLE FIVE IT WAS HALF OF THAT.

SO WHAT'S THE DISCREPANCY? IS IT BASED ON ON FUNDING AVAILABILITY OR IS IT BASED ON PROJECT SUBMITTAL? AND THEN I WAS INTERESTED TO SEE WHAT CYCLE SIX WAS GOING TO POTENTIALLY PRODUCE FOR AVAILABILITY. SO JUST THERE WAS A, LIKE I SAID, TWICE AS MUCH AVAILABLE FOR CYCLE FOUR, THEN CYCLE FIVE.

AND THEN I WAS CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT WHAT WAS ELIGIBLE FOR CYCLE SIX? SO GREAT QUESTIONS.

SO FOR CYCLE FOUR, YES, THE TOTALS FOR CYCLE FOR THE PROJECT COSTS, IT IS MUCH GREATER THAN THAN CYCLE FIVE.

SO IT DOES IT.

THE PROJECTS, THE COST OF THE PROJECTS FOR CYCLE FOUR VERSUS CYCLE FIVE, THEY DID VARY.

YOU KNOW IT.

YOU KNOW, THE MINIMUM PROJECT COSTS FOR A PROJECT APPLICATION IS $500000 FOR CONSTRUCTION AND THE MAXIMUM TWO MILLION.

SO THOSE TOP FIVE PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED IN THE TOP FOUR PROJECTS THAT WERE FUNDED.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD HAVE A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS THAT WERE LESS THAN A MILLION DOLLARS AND THEN A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS THAT WERE CLOSER TO $2 MILLION.

HOWEVER, I JUST WANT TO NOTE THAT THAT TOTAL THERE, LIKE THE 13 MILLION THAT DOES INCLUDE NOT JUST CONSTRUCTION COSTS, BUT IT'S CAN BE CONSTRUCTION, DESIGN, LOCAL MATCH, THINGS LIKE THAT. SO THAT DOESN'T REFLECT JUST THE CONSTRUCTION COST.

[00:20:03]

IT'S SPEAKING TO THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING.

I KNOW THAT THE AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING, IT'S MORE COMPETITIVE THAN IN THE PAST FOR THE THE THE CURRENT CLSIP CYCLE AND THEN FOUR CYCLES FOUR AND FIVE.

I DON'T KNOW IF ANYBODY IF.

YEAH, BUT. OK, THANK YOU.

OK, CHAIR. THANK YOU, BILL.

IF I COULD ABSOLUTELY ADD TO THAT, SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAS CHANGED FUNDAMENTALLY IS THE MPO BOARD ADOPTED A NEW POLICY ON HOW WE SHARE TO DIFFERENT PROGRAM AREAS THE FUNDS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THE MPO.

AND SO THE CSLIP SHARE OF FUNDS HAS BEEN REDUCED TO FREE UP SPACE FOR INCREASED EMPHASIS IN SAFETY IN OUR COMPLETE STREET MASTER PLAN.

SO THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE SEEING THE DIFFERENCE WHERE FROM FOUR TO FIVE IS AND THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO SEE MOVING FORWARD.

THAT'S MORE OF THE ORDER OF MAGNITUDE.

WE'RE LOOKING AT A HANDFUL OF PROJECTS A YEAR, DEPENDING UPON HOW THEY RANK AND WHAT THE REQUEST IS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO AFFORD UNDER UNDER THE MPO'S POLICY FUNDING POLICY THAT WAS ADOPTED AS PART OF OUR 2045 PLAN.

SO I HOPE THAT ANSWERS YOUR YOUR QUESTION IF I COULD FOLLOW UP ON THAT, BECAUSE THAT WAS MY SAME EXACT QUESTION.

SO WHEN WE GET TO THE ACTUAL, IF THEY QUALIFY AND IF THEY'RE ELIGIBLE, WILL THAT NUMBER REDUCE DOWN TO THE FOUR OR FIVE APPROXIMATELY? OR DO WE HAVE MORE OVERALL MONEY IN THE MPO WALLET THIS YEAR? SO THERE'S MORE PROJECTS SO THAT 25 PERCENT IS MORE MONEY? IF YOU DON'T MIND KERRIE, I'M GOING TO HANDLE THIS ONE AS WELL.

SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT THAT'S HAPPENING IS THAT WE'RE TRYING TO BETTER BALANCE EXPECTATIONS WITH AVAILABLE FUNDING.

SO THAT'S WHY YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SEE THE NUMBERS OF PROJECTS YOU DID IN THE PAST.

AND ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE'RE DOING THAT IS BECAUSE WE'VE MADE COMMITMENTS TO YOU IN EARLIER YEARS WHERE WE LIKE CYCLE FOUR WHERE THERE WERE A LOT OF PROJECTS THAT WERE MOSTLY FUNDED FOR DESIGN.

WE STILL HAVE TO FUND THOSE CONSTRUCTION.

SO WE STILL HAVE A LOT OF FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS AHEAD OF US TO FUND ALL THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN APPROVED AND IN THE PIPELINE.

SO YEAH, WE'RE WE'RE TRYING TO BALANCE THE AVAILABLE FUNDS WITH WITH PROJECTS.

THE GOOD NEWS IS, OK, SO I DON'T WANT TO BE ALL DOOM AND GLOOM IS THAT BECAUSE OF THE NEW TRANSPORTATION BILL THAT'S PASSED, WE DO ANTICIPATE IN FUTURE YEARS THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE RECEIVING A LITTLE BIT MORE MONEY AS AN MPO.

AND THAT'S GOOD NEWS ACROSS THE BOARD AND ALL OF THE PROGRAMS. IT MEANS THAT WE'LL BE ABLE TO DO MORE.

AND YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WE'RE WORKING WITH OUR PARTNER FDOT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE. AND AS SOON AS THAT BECOMES SOLID, WE'RE GOING TO WORK, YOU KNOW, ON BEHALF OF ALL OF US HERE TO TO LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES TO ADVANCE AND PROGRAM AND AGAIN FINALIZE THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE AND COMMITMENT THAT WE'VE MADE IN PREVIOUS YEARS.

OKAY. AND APOLOGIES, CHAIR.

I FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.

BILL CROSS BROWARD MPO STAFF.

THANK YOU. SO THEN JUST ONE FINAL CLARIFICATION.

SO THOSE OF US WHO ARE ABOVE THE BLUE LINE, IT DOES NOT MEAN WE'RE GOING TO GET FUNDING.

IT'S JUST THIS. WE'RE APPROVING THE RANKING AND THEN WE'LL SEE WHERE WE'RE AT FOR FUNDING ONCE WE GET TO THAT POINT.

CORRECT. THAT IS CORRECT.

YES. YES.

GREAT. THANK YOU, MAXINE.

THANKS, KEN. EVEN THE PROJECT IS NOT FUNDED, BUT IT IS ALREADY QUALIFIED.

IT WILL BE AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRED FOR THE NEXT CYCLE OR WE HAVE TO APPLY AGAIN? SO IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO REAPPLY OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE SAME PROJECT IN THE RUNNING FOR THE NEXT CYCLE, YOU DO TECHNICALLY NEED TO REAPPLY.

SO YOU WOULD SUBMIT THE SAME, YOU KNOW, I MEAN, UNLESS ANYTHING NEEDS TO BE UPDATED OR YOU WANT TO UPDATE THE SCOPE OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT, YES, YOU WOULD HAVE TO REAPPLY IN THE NEW CYCLE, YOU KNOW, HAVE A PRE-APPLICATION MEETING, FILL OUT THE ONLINE APPLICATION.

AND IF ANYTHING, LIKE A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT OR ANY, YOU KNOW, PUBLIC OUTREACH, IF IT'S BEEN A WHILE, YOU WOULD NEED TO UPDATE THAT FOR THE FOR THE NEW CYCLE.

OK, I SEE. CYCLE FIVE, WE HAVE A HUNDRED DOLLAR [INAUDIBLE] PROJECTS AND I THINK CYCLE FOUR PIPE, PROJECTS FOR PIPE.

SO THIS [INAUDIBLE] EXPECTING MORE THAN FIVE OR LESS THAN FOUR OR FIVE? IS THERE ANY PREDICTION FROM YOUR SIDE THAT HOW MANY PROJECTS CAN BE FUNDED AND YOU ALREADY KNOW, THE DOLLAR AMOUNT OR I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN SPEAK TO THE DOLLAR AMOUNT.

THAT WOULD BE GREAT. I'LL LET BILL CROSS ANSWER THAT.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, BILL.

AGAIN, THROUGH THE CHAIR. SO THE ANSWER IS THAT IT DEPENDS UPON THE SIZE OF THE DIFFERENT

[00:25:02]

WE KIND OF SORT OF KNOW WHERE WE ARE, BUT WE'RE WAITING FOR THOSE FINAL NEW NUMBERS TO COME FROM THE NEW TRANSPORTATION BILL, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WILL OCCUR OVER THE NEXT FOUR OR FIVE MONTHS AS WE WORK WITH WITH DOT TO FINALIZE THOSE NUMBER.

SO, YOU KNOW, IN GENERAL, THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT 20 PERCENT AND WE WERE AT $30 MILLION.

SO, YOU KNOW, IN ROUGH NUMBERS, YOU'RE LOOKING AT SIX MILLION A YEAR THAT WE CAN PROGRAM.

BUT WHAT YOU CAN'T FORGET IS THAT WE DON'T PROGRAM SIX MILLION EVERY YEAR JUST ON NEW PROJECTS BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KEEP FUNDING THE LATER PHASES OF OF THOSE PROJECTS THAT WERE AWARDED EARLIER. SO THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE IS SO WE DO HAVE SOME COMPETING PRIORITIES WITH THAT CASH.

AGAIN, I'LL MENTION THAT, YOU KNOW, THERE IS NEW MONEY COMING FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT, SO THAT'S GOING TO HELP US THIS YEAR.

WE'RE WE'RE STILL WAITING ON THOSE NUMBERS TO BE FINALIZED.

SO HOPEFULLY SOME GOOD NEWS TO COME.

BUT I WOULD SAY STAY TUNED ON THAT, THAT QUESTION.

OH, THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

ANY MORE QUESTIONS FOR CARRIER BILL ON THIS? I HAVE ONE MORE QUESTION TO ASK ABOUT THIS FOR THE NEXT CYCLE.

WHAT IS THAT? IS THERE ANY TIMELINE FOR THE PUBLIC OUTREACH IF I DO THAT TODAY? IT WILL BE CONSIDERED FOR CYCLE SEVEN OR IT HAS A CERTAIN TIME LIMIT.

OK, IT HAS TO BE DONE WITHIN SIX MONTHS, THREE MONTHS.

DO YOU HAVE ANY GUIDELINE ON THAT FOR PUBLIC OUTREACH? YES. SO IT'S NOT WRITTEN IN STONE.

LIKE WHEN THE CUTOFF TIME IS.

BUT I WOULD SAY IF YOU CONDUCT NEW PUBLIC OUTREACH BETWEEN CYCLES SIX AND SEVEN, IT WOULD BE, YOU KNOW, RELEVANT AND IT WOULD BE UP TO DATE IF YOU DID PUBLIC OUTREACH IN 2022 AND THEN SUBMITTED YOUR APPLICATION IN NOVEMBER OF 2022.

YEAH. OH YEAH.

RIGHT. THANK YOU. DO WE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FROM MEMBERS ONLINE? NO. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? LAST CALL IN THE ROOM.

NO. SEEING NONE. I WILL ASK FOR A MOTION TO APPROVE THE COMPLETE STREETS.

AND OTHER LOCALIZED INITIATIVES, PROGRAMS CYCLE SIX PRIORITY LIST OF PROJECTS DIRECTING THE MPO STAFF TO WORK WITH THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STAFF ON THE VETTING AND PROGRAMING OF VIABLE PROJECTS.

MOTION WAS MADE BY [INAUDIBLE] SECONDED BY MICHAEL RIGHETTI.

ANY COMMENTS? CONCERNS. SEEING NONE, NONE.

TIME TO VOTE.

GOOD MOTION PASSES.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU, KERRIE.

NEXT, WE'RE GOING TO MOVE TO OUR NON-ACTION ITEMS.

[1. MOTION TO RECOMMEND THE BROWARD MPO BOARD APPROVE Amendments/Modifications to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2022 - 2026 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) to Program Additional Funding Allocated to the Broward MPO in the Recently Passed Federal Transportation Bill - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA): Amendments: A.

FM # 4455201: CITYWIDE BUS SHELTERS - VARIOUS LOCATIONS ]

DR. CHEN.

HI, THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR, COMMITTEE MEMBERS.

GOOD AFTERNOON TO YOU, JIHONG CHEN WITH BROWARD MPO.

THE BOARD APPROVED THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 TO 2026 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IN JULY 2021.

TODAY WE ARE PROPOSING AMENDMENTS AND THE MODIFICATION TO THE TIP.

YOU MAY HAVE SEEN THIS CORE PRODUCTS OF THE BROWARD MPO FOR MANY, MANY TIMES.

YOU SEE, THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM IS ONE OF THE CORE PRODUCTS.

AMENDMENTS AND MODIFICATION TO FISCAL YEAR 2022 TO 2026 TIP AND RESULTING FROM INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND THE JOBS ACT.

SO WE ALL KNOW THE PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED THE IIJA ON NOVEMBER 16, 2021.

SO THIS LAW COVERS FIVE YEARS FROM FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2022 TO FEDERAL FISCAL YEAR 2026.

IT REAUTHORIZED THE FIX AMERICA'S SURFACE TRANSPORTATION ACT.

THIS IS THE PREDECESSOR OF THE IIJA.

SO THE IIJA EXTENDS AND INCREASE FORMULA FUNDING FOR TRANSPORTATION, AND IIJA PROVIDES

[00:30:06]

FROM THE HIGHWAY SIDE.

FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION IS CONTINUING TO RELEASE IMPLEMENTATION GUIDANCE FOR PROGRAMS IN THE IIJA.

THOSE FORMULAS FUNDS WILL BE PASSED PASSED DOWN TO STATES.

LOOK AS. SO QUICK SO QUICK.

ROLE OF THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

THE CENTRAL OFFICE ALLOCATES AND PROVIDE GUIDANCE FOR FORMULA FUNDS TO DISTRICTS AND THE MPOS. RIGHT NOW, THIS [INAUDIBLE] IS WAITING FOR GUIDANCE FROM CENTRAL OFFICE TO USE FORMULA FUNDS.

AT THIS POINT, FORMULA FUNDS ARE NOT READY TO BE PROGRAMED TO BE AUTHORIZED BY FDOT.

BUT IT'S A BROWARD MPO STAFF MAKE AN ESTIMATE TO THE CHANGE TO IT IS ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS . THE BROWARD MPO ATTRIBUTES TO FUNDS INCLUDE THREE PROGRAMS. FIRST ONE IS TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT AREA FUNDS.

WE ALSO CALL TMA FUNDS.

THE FUNDING CODE IS [INAUDIBLE] IN THE TIP.

AND THE SECOND IS TRANSPORTATION ALTERNATIVE PROGRAM FUNDS.

THE FUNDING CODE IN TIP IS TAIOU AND ALSO HAVE A NEW PROGRAM CARBON REDUCTION PROGRAM.

THIS JUST FROM THE IIJA.

THIS PROGRAM IS BRAND-NEW.

SO FROM THE CHART ON YOUR LEFT, YOU CAN SEE THE INCREMENT FOR EACH PROGRAM.

FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] FUNDS INCREASE ABOUT SIX MILLION DOLLARS.

THIS ESTIMATE AND FOR THE [INAUDIBLE] FUNDS INCREASE ABOUT ONE MILLION DOLLARS FOR THE NEW PROGRAM.

CARBON REDUCTION PROGRAM IS GENERATED ABOUT ONE POINT TWO MILLION DOLLARS.

FOR YOUR SUMMARY, THE INCREMENTS ANNUALLY ABOUT EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS FOR BROWARD ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS.

SO TO BE PROACTIVE TO CHANGE, THE BROWARD MPO STAFF PROPOSED TIP AMENDMENTS AND THE MODIFICATIONS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2022 TIP, WE PRIMARILY WILL FOCUS ON THE SPENT MONEY IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2022.

WE ALSO PROPOSE TO ADD NEW MONEY FOR THE 2023 TO 2026 FOR UPWP PROJECTS.

THE TOP THREE PRODUCTS IS UPWP PRODUCTS.

WE'RE PROPOSING TO ADD THREE MILLION DOLLARS FOR EACH FISCAL YEAR TO THE UPWP PRODUCTS.

THE FIRST PRODUCT IS THE [INAUDIBLE] PROJECTS A SECURITY CAMERA AT THE BROWARD TRI-RAIL STATIONS. THIS PROJECT'S PROGRAMED IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2023 DRAFT THE 22 WORK PROGRAM THE BOARD APPROVED IN NOVEMBER 2021 BROWARD MEETING.

THIS REQUIRES THE ONES ABOUT EIGHT THOUSAND EIGHT HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS FUNDS FROM FISCAL YEAR 2024 TO FISCAL YEAR 2022.

FOR MORE INFORMATION, YOU CAN LOOK AT THE ATTACHMENT THERE HAVE [INAUDIBLE] TIP PAGE IN THEIR EXISTING CONDITION AND THE PROPOSED CONDITION.

THE FIRST PROJECT IS ALSO SFRTA PRODUCTS, IS A TRI RAIL ROLLING STOCK PRODUCTS, FOR THIS PRODUCT. WE PROPOSE TO ADD ABOUT ONE POINT FIVE MILLION DOLLARS FUNDS TO FISCAL YEAR 2022, AND THAT LAST ONE IS THE PRODUCT LOCATED SUNRISE [INAUDIBLE] OF SUNRISE FOR CITY WIDE BUS SHELTER IMPROVEMENT.

[00:35:05]

THE LAST OF THREE PROJECTS IS [INAUDIBLE] FUNDS FROM FEDERAL HIGHWAY ADMINISTRATION THROUGH TRANSIT TO FEDERAL TRANSIT AUTHORITY.

THE THE FIFTH, FOURTH AND THE FIFTH, THOSE FUNDS [INAUDIBLE] SFRTA AND THE LAST ONE [INAUDIBLE] TO BOARD MPO.

SO ANY QUESTIONS? THANK YOU ANY QUESTIONS REGARDING THIS ITEM.

I HAD A QUESTION, CAN YOU TALK MORE ABOUT WHAT THE $3 MILLION A YEAR TO THE MPO MIGHT BE USED FOR? THE THOSE THREE MILLION DOLLARS.

YOU KNOW, WE WE JUST ESTABLISHED A SAFETY PROGRAM, RESILIENCY STUDY AND COMPLETE STREET PLANNING ACTIVITIES FOR THOSE THREE MILLION DOLLARS.

IT'S CLEAR ENOUGH? WE HAVE A VIRTUAL RAISED HAND.

YES, WE HAVE HAZEL ROGERS.

HAZEL, GO AHEAD. GOOD AFTERNOON. CAN YOU HEAR ME? WE CAN HEAR YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES. YES, HAZEL, WE CAN.

OK, THANK YOU.

GOOD AFTERNOON, EVERYONE.

MY QUESTION AS IT RELATES TO THAT $3 MILLION, CAN THAT BE USED TO PROVIDE FOR CAMERAS AT MAJOR BUS SHELTERS ON HEAVILY TRAFFICKED HIGHWAYS AND ROADWAYS? CAN WE USE THAT FOR CAMERAS? THOSE IS, I THINK, IS THOSE FOR THE PLANNING STUDY, NOT FOR CONSTRUCTION, I DEFER THIS QUESTION TO MR. BILL CROSS. OK, THANK YOU, BILL.

YEAH, SURE. SO IF YOU COULD REPEAT THAT QUESTION, I'M NOT SURE I CAUGHT THE THE ENTIRETY OF IT. [INAUDIBLE] YES, PLEASE REPEAT YOUR QUESTION. OK.

YES, I WAS ASKING WHETHER OR NOT THE $3 MILLION IN ANY OF THOSE FUNDS CAN BE USED FOR CAMERAS AT OUR MAJOR ROADWAYS LIKE 441 AND OPEN PARK BOULEVARD OR ANY OF OUR MAJOR BUS SHELTERS? OK, SO AS THE FUNDS ARE CURRENTLY SET HERE, THOSE FUNDS WOULD BE USED FOR PLANNING, THEY WOULD NOT BE USED FOR CONSTRUCTION.

DOES THAT ANSWER YOUR QUESTION? HELLO, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, WE CAN HEAR YOU OK.

ALL RIGHT, THOSE FUNDS MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO BE USED AS YOU'RE STATING, DO YOU HAVE ANY FUNDS THAT YOU COULD APPLY TO THAT CATEGORY? ABSOLUTELY, THERE ARE DIFFERENT FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR THAT TYPE OF WORK, AND THAT WOULD BE SOMETHING WE'D BE GLAD TO SIT DOWN AND TALK TO YOU ABOUT, UNDERSTAND WHAT SPECIFICALLY YOU'RE LOOKING AT AND AND GIVE YOU KIND OF THE LAY OF THE LAND AS IT WERE FOR, YOU KNOW, WHERE, WHERE TO WHERE TO LOOK FOR FUNDING FOR THAT.

OK. SECURITY CAMERAS IS IMPORTANT.

THEY'RE VERY IMPORTANT TODAY.

SO THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU, BILL. MAYBE CAN YOU DO A LITTLE BIT OF A BACKGROUND OF WHY THESE WERE CHOSEN? I'M SURE THERE'S A VERY GOOD REASON OF WE NEED TO BE QUICK AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

SURE, I'M GLAD TO DO THAT AGAIN THROUGH THE CHAIR.

SO THE THE THE THOUGHT PROCESS AND SO SO TWO THINGS.

ONE IS THAT BECAUSE THE BILL PASSED AT THE VERY END OF LAST CALENDAR YEAR, IT WAS A BILL THAT TAKES EFFECT IMMEDIATELY.

AND SO THERE ARE MONIES THAT ARE AVAILABLE CURRENT YEAR, WHICH PRESENTS A CHALLENGE FOR US AS WELL AS FLORIDA DOT ON HOW TO CONSUME THOSE DOLLARS.

SO THAT'S ONE ISSUE WE'RE TRYING TO DEAL WITH.

HOW DO WE CONSUME THEM RAPIDLY? THE OTHER ISSUE, AS YOU HEARD FROM SOME OF MY EARLIER RESPONSES, IS WE DON'T YET HAVE FINALIZED NUMBERS, SO WE GOT TO HURRY UP AND SPEND THE MONEY, BUT WE DON'T EXACTLY KNOW HOW MUCH WE HAVE YET. SO THAT'S THE CHALLENGE.

AND HONESTLY, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS THAT WE CONVERTED THIS OVER FROM AN ACTION TO AN

[00:40:04]

WE UNDERSTOOD THAT AS LATE AS JUST YESTERDAY, FEDERAL HIGHWAY TRANSMITTED SOME ADDITIONAL DETAIL AND INFORMATION TO FLORIDA DOT.

HOPEFULLY, THAT'S GOING TO PROVIDE A LITTLE MORE CLARITY.

AND THEN WHEN WE COME BACK TO YOU NEXT MONTH, HOPEFULLY WE'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT BETTER NUMBERS HERE.

BUT AS FAR AS THE PHILOSOPHY ON WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO WITH THE MONEY, THE PROJECTS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE LIST THERE, THAT YOU'LL SEE THOSE WERE CSLIP PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY COMMITMENTS THAT WE HAD MADE TO YOU.

THERE ARE OPPORTUNITIES TO ADVANCE THOSE BY FLEXING THEM TO FTA.

THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE ONCE WE FLEX THE MONEY OVER TO FTA, THEN IT STARTS LIKE A CLOCK, YOU KNOW? AND SO IT'S, YOU KNOW, AGAIN, WORKING WITH DOT.

THE SENSE WAS THAT THESE WOULD BE THE EASIEST PROJECTS TO TO RECEIVE THIS MONEY AT SUCH A LATE DATE. SO THAT WAS A BIG PART OF WHY THOSE PARTICULAR PROJECTS WERE SELECTED.

THE THREE MILLION FOR THE UPWP, AS AS DR.

CHEN MENTIONED. YOU KNOW, WE HAVE DIFFERENT AREAS OF EMPHASIS MOVING FORWARD THAT HAVE BEEN PUT ON US BY BOTH FEDERAL HIGHWAY AS WELL AS THE STATE.

THE KEY AREA IS SAFETY, AND SO SOME OF THIS MONEY WILL BE USED TO, I'M GOING TO SAY, KIND OF PRIME THAT PUMP OF OF OUR NEW SAFETY PROGRAM THAT WE'RE STANDING UP.

WE'RE GOING TO BE GIVING YOU MORE PRESENTATIONS ON THAT MOVING FORWARD.

WE'RE VERY PROUD OF THE WORK THAT WE'VE DONE WITH OUR PARTNERS, WITH THE COUNTY, WITH FDOT. WE'VE PUT IN PLACE A REALLY GOOD PROCESS THERE.

AND SO SOME OF THAT MONEY WILL GO TO SUPPORT SOME OF THAT.

SOME OF IT WILL GO TO SUPPORT OTHER COMPLETE STREET MASTER PLAN WORK THAT WE'RE ADVANCING. SO THERE'S VARIOUS PIECES AND PARTS TO IT.

BUT IN GENERAL, THAT THAT'S WHERE IT'S GOING, IT'S GOING TO THE PLANNING EMPHASIS AREAS THAT WE'RE COMMITTED TO TO DELIVER.

[INAUDIBLE] THANKS.

I DO HAVE A QUESTION. CITYWIDE BUS SHELTERS.

IS IT FOR? I SEE THE CSLIP.

IS IT FOR NEW BUS SHELTERS? AS YOU JUST HEARD OUR HONORABLE MEMBER, SHE MENTIONED THAT SECURITY CAMERA AT BUS SHELTERS. SO THAT DEFINITELY THAT IS ONE OF THE ELEMENT OF THE BUS SHELTER TO ENHANCE THE SECURITY. THE CITYWIDE BUS SHELTERS IT CAN BE USED ONLY FOR NEW BUS SHELTERS.

IT CAN BE USED TO RETROFIT OR DO SOME ADDITIONAL WORK AT THE EXISTING BUS SHELTERS? LIKE WE CAN PUT SOME ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT ALONG WITH THE CAMERA.

THAT CAN BE ONE OF THE WAY WE CAN GENERATE THE PROJECT.

OK? AGAIN, THROUGH THE CHAIR.

SO THE RESPONSE IS THAT THIS WAS A DISCRETE PROJECT THAT COMPETED FOR FUNDING THROUGH THE CSLIP PROJECT SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

AND SO IT'S WITH THE CITY OF SUNRISE.

IT LISTS OUT THE SPECIFICS OF WHAT IS GOING TO BE PURCHASED, THE NUMBER OF SHELTERS THAT TYPE OF. SO THIS IS A DISCRETE PROJECT THAT WAS ALREADY PROGRAMED IN THE TIP.

IT WAS SITTING OUT THERE IN 2025 AND BECAUSE OF THE MONEY BECOMING AVAILABLE AND BECAUSE THIS WAS A PROJECT THAT WE COULD, WE COULD FLEX IT TO FTA FUNDS.

IT WOULD ACTUALLY COME TO THE MPO.

WE WOULD THEN SUB RECIPIENT TO THE CITY THAT PROVIDED THE KIND OF FLEXIBILITY THAT WE NEEDED TO CONSUME THESE DOLLARS ON THIS REALLY AGGRESSIVE SCHEDULE OF THERE'S LESS THAN A HALF YEAR LEFT THROUGH THE END OF THIS FISCAL YEAR, SO THERE'S NOT REALLY OPPORTUNITY FOR NEW BUS SHELTERS.

THOSE WERE ALREADY PREVIOUSLY IDENTIFIED, COMPETED FOR THE MONEY.

THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS FROM VIRTUAL? NO, GREAT THANK YOU, AND WE'LL SEE THIS ITEM AGAIN NEXT MEETING FOR THE ACTION, OK.

[1. Report from Partner Agencies - Florida's Turnpike Enterprise - South of I-595 to Wiles Road PD&E]

THE TURNPIKE IS GOING TO PRESENT ON THEIR PROJECT TO THE PD&E.

GOOD AFTERNOON, TAC MEMBERS.

MY NAME IS VICTORIA WILLIAMS AND I'M SERVING AS TURNPIKES LIAISON TO BROWARD MPO.

TODAY, WE'D LIKE TO GIVE YOU AN OVERVIEW AND UPDATE ABOUT THE PD&E STUDY OF THE MAINLINE TURNPIKE TO WIDEN IT FROM I-5 JUST SOUTH OF I-595, UP TO WILES ROAD.

IT IS MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE OUR PROJECT MANAGER, JAZLYN HEYWOOD.

SHE'S HERE WITH A TEAM OF OUR TURNPIKE EMPLOYEES AND CONSULTANTS REPRESENTING THE TURNPIKE TO GO OVER THIS.

SO LET'S GO AHEAD WITH THE PRESENTATION.

THANK YOU, JAZLYN.

THANK YOU, VICTORIA. GOOD AFTERNOON TO EVERYONE, AS VICTORIA SAID.

[00:45:02]

SO I CAN CONTROL IT.

SO THE LIMITS I'M GOING TO REPEAT MYSELF PROBABLY FOR THE THIRD TIME, BUT IT'S SOUTH OF I595 SORRY TO WILES ROAD AT APPROXIMATELY 17 MILES IN LENGTH.

IT DOES INCLUDE THE POMPANO BEACH SERVICE PLAZA AND THERE ARE SIX EXISTING INTERCHANGES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

BECAUSE IT IS A 17 MILE PROJECT, WE ARE WE HAVE BEEN COORDINATING WITH SEVERAL LOCAL AGENCIES AND THAT COORDINATION WILL GO THROUGH THE END OF THE PD&E STUDY.

SO THEY'RE LISTED THERE, I REALLY CAN'T SEE THEM, BUT I'M SURE THAT YOU CAN.

THERE'S 11 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS AND THAT WE ALSO ARE COORDINATING WITH BROWARD COUNTY, BROWARD MPO AND OUR PARTNERS AT FDOT DISTRICT FOUR.

SO THE PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED IS THE REASON WHY THE STUDY TEAM IS ARE EVALUATING ALTERNATIVES. SO BASED ON THE PROJECT NEEDS ARE BASED ON OBSERVED AND PROJECTED DEFICIENCIES WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS.

SO FOR THIS PROJECT, THE PROJECT NEEDS INCLUDE ENHANCING SAFETY, ACCOMMODATING TRAVEL DEMANDS FOR THE YEAR 2045.

I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT PD&E STUDY LOOKS HAS A 20 YEAR PLANNING HORIZON, SO WE'RE LOOKING AT 2045 NEEDS.

WE'RE LOOKING TO IMPROVE TRAVEL TIME RELIABILITY, AS WELL AS REGIONAL CONNECTIVITY AND ENHANCING EMERGENCY EVACUATION AND RESPONSE.

BASED ON THOSE PROJECT NEEDS WITHIN THE 17 MILES PROJECT LIMIT PROJECT ALTERNATIVES WERE DEVELOPED THAT WIDENED TURNPIKE MAINLINE TO 10 LANES WITH CONSIDERATION FOR MANAGED LANES, WE'LL GET INTO THAT.

PROVIDING A CONTINUOUS AUXILIARY LANE BETWEEN INTERCHANGES AS NEEDED.

THIS IS MOSTLY WITHIN THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE PROJECT FROM 595 TO ABOUT ATLANTIC BOULEVARD. YOU'LL SEE IT'LL BE 10 PLUS LANES AND ALSO IMPROVING THE EXISTING SIX INTERCHANGES. THAT MEANS MOST OF THE TIMES THERE ARE OVERPASS BRIDGES, SO WE'RE LOOKING TO WIDEN THOSE OVERPASS BRIDGES TO ACCOMMODATE THE LANES BELOW.

ADDING SLIP RAMPS AND WIDENING OFF RAMPS IS NEEDED AND RECONFIGURING.

MOST OF THESE INTERCHANGES ARE IN A TRUMPET STYLE CONFIGURATION, SO RECONFIGURING THEM TO ELIMINATE THAT CONFIGURATION AND CONSIDERING TWO NEW INTERCHANGES, AS SHOWN IN BLUE ON YOUR SCREENS, WHICH IS AT OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD AND CYPRESS CREEK ROAD.

AND THESE THESE NEW INTERCHANGES ARE MOSTLY AGAIN TO RELIEVE THE EXISTING CONGESTED INTERCHANGES. SO WHAT DO WE MEAN BY WE WHEN WE SAY MANAGED LANES, IT IS NOT AN EXTRA CHARGE, THEY USERS PAY THE SAME TOLL THAT THEY WOULD PAY AND ON ANY OTHER LANE IN THE TOLL ROAD. THEY DO HAVE TO USE SUN PASS, BUT IT DOES SERVE THE LONGER TRIPS.

SO INSTEAD OF HAVING HAVING TO MIX WITH THE TRAFFIC ENTERING AND EXITING AT THE AT THE EXITS, AND IT ALLOWS FOR TRUE MOVEMENT AND ALSO ALLOWS FOR BUS TRANSIT.

SO THAT'S WHAT HOW THE TURNPIKE CONSIDERS MANAGED LANES TO BE.

ALL RIGHT, SO WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS, THERE IS A MAJOR UTILITY THAT CONSTRAINS OUR PROJECT ALTERNATIVES FOR THE SEGMENT FROM I-595 TO ATLANTIC BOULEVARD.

THERE IS ONE GAS LINE AT THIRTY SIX INCHES.

FGT FLORIDA GAS TRANSMISSION AND FDOT ENTERED INTO A LEGAL AGREEMENT IN 2013 THAT THAT COVERED NOT JUST TURNPIKE AND BROWARD COUNTY, BUT SYSTEM WIDE.

WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IF AND WHEN TURNPIKE ENCROACHES INTO THE FGT SPECIFIED WIDTH.

SO IN THIS CASE, IT ALSO DEFINED HOW WIDE THAT SPECIFIED WIDTH IS.

SO ONE GAS LINE THAT'S SPECIFIED WIDTH IS THIRTY THREE FEET.

TO THE NORTH, FROM ATLANTIC BOULEVARD TO WILES ROAD, THERE ARE TWO GAS LINES AN 18 INCH AND TWENTY FOUR INCH.

AND ACCORDING TO THE LEGAL AGREEMENT, THE SPECIFIED WIDTH IS NOW 60 FEET.

AND IN THIS CASE, IT SPANS THE NORTHBOUND PAVED SHOULDER.

SO ANY CERTAIN IMPROVEMENTS WITHIN THE SPECIFIED WIDTH WOULD TRIGGER THE NEED TO RELOCATE THE GAS LINES OUTSIDE OF FDOT'S RIGHT OF WAY AND WIDENING OF THE TURNPIKE MAINLINE INTO THE SPECIFIED WIDTH IS ONE SUCH TYPE IMPROVEMENT.

SIXTY FEET OF ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THE RELOCATED GAS LINES, AND AT THE END OF THE DAY, FGT MAKES A DETERMINATION AS TO WHAT THE NEAREST PRACTICAL LOCATION IS. WE HAD TO MAKE SOME ASSUMPTIONS IN THIS STUDY.

[00:50:05]

SO THIS IS WHERE THE GAS LINES ARE NEAR THE EASTERN EDGE OF THE RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THE GAS LINE AND THE SPECIFIED WIDTH WILL BE UNIMPACTED BY CENTER WINDING, WHICH MEANS WINDING TO THE OUTSIDE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

SO THAT'S THAT TURQUOISE BLUE.

AND THAT WOULD ACCOMMODATE FOR TRAVEL, FOR GENERAL USE LANES, ONE MANAGED LANE IN EACH DIRECTION AND AN AUXILIARY LANE.

AGAIN, AS I MENTIONED BETWEEN THE INTERCHANGES IN THIS IN THIS PORTION OF THE PROJECT, THAT'S NEEDED. SO THAT WOULD BE THE PROJECT ALTERNATIVE FROM SOUTH, FROM SOUTH OF I-595 TO SOUTH OF ATLANTIC BOULEVARD.

NOW, FOR THE PORTION FROM SOUTH OF ATLANTIC BOULEVARD TO WILES ROAD, ABOUT A FOUR MILE SEGMENT, LET ME JUST STEP BACK A LITTLE BIT.

SO THIS PROJECT KICKED OFF IN NOVEMBER OF 2019 AND WE HAD A PUBLIC KICKOFF MEETING.

IT WAS IN PERSON, IT WAS AN OPEN HOUSE FORMAT AND WE NOTIFIED THE COMMUNITIES THAT OF THE START OF THE PD&E STUDY.

WE RECEIVED SUBSTANTIAL COMMENTS FROM RESIDENTS WITHIN WYNMOOR VILLAGE WITH REGARDING THE THE WIDENING WITHIN THE SEGMENT AND ALSO WIDENING TO THE WEST WITHIN THIS SEGMENT AND NOISE AND QUALITY OF LIFE IMPACTS.

SO BASED ON THAT INPUT, THE TEAM LOOKED AT THE THREE ALTERNATIVES WITHIN THIS SEGMENT, WHICH IS BASED ON COMMUNITY INPUT, WHICH IS WIDENING TO THE WEST, WIDENING ON THE CENTER ALIGNMENT, WHICH MEANS WIDENING THE ROAD IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND WIDENING TO THE EAST.

ALL THREE ALIGNMENTS.

ALL THREE ALTERNATIVES, I SHOULD SAY, WOULD PROVIDE THE SAME THING, WHICH IS FIVE LANES IN EACH DIRECTION, BUT EACH WOULD HAVE ITS OWN IMPACT AND ITS OWN COST.

BECAUSE THE PROJECT IS SO LONG, WE KIND OF HAD TO COMPRESS THIS PRESENTATION, SO WE WE HAD SORRY, WE HAD TO SQUEEZE THREE GRAPHICS ON ONE SLIDE, BUT THESE SHOW THE THREE PROJECT ALTERNATIVES WITHIN THIS SEGMENT, WHICH IS AGAIN TO THE WEST, CENTER AND TO THE EAST. THE TOP ONE WIDENING TO THE WEST WOULD BE WITHIN AN EXISTING STATE RIGHT OF WAY.

THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHT, AGAIN, IS THAT FGT SPECIFIED WIDTH WHICH IF WE WIDEN INTO IT, THE GAS LINES WOULD HAVE TO BE RELOCATED.

60 FEET OF ADDITIONAL RIGHT OF WAY WOULD BE NEEDED.

WE MADE THE ASSUMPTION THAT IT WOULD BE WIDENED TO THE TO THE EAST WITHIN THE CITY OF POMPANO BEACH, WHICH WOULD MEAN RELOCATIONS OF HOMES AND BUSINESSES WITHIN THE CITY OF POMPANO BEACH.

AGAIN, FGT TEAM MAKES THE FINAL DETERMINATION AS TO WHAT THEY CONSIDER TO BE THE MOST [INAUDIBLE] PRACTICAL LOCATION OUTSIDE OF FDOT'S RIGHT OF WAY.

SO THOSE THOSE ARE THE THREE ALTERNATIVES WIDENING ON A CENTER ALIGNMENT AND WINDING TO THE EAST WOULD BOTH TRIGGER THE NEED TO RELOCATE THE FGT GAS LINES AND WOULD HAVE MORE COMMUNITY IMPACTS AND BE COSTS MORE COSTLY.

SO WE HAVE OUR EVALUATION MATRIX.

THIS IS NOT ALL THE THINGS THAT CAN BE COMPARED, OF COURSE, BUT WE THESE ARE THE CATEGORIES THAT WE COMPARED AND BASING OUR COMPARISON.

WIDENING TO THE WEST WITHIN THIS SEGMENT WITHIN EXISTING STATE RIGHT OF WAY WOULD HAVE THE LEAST IMPACTS AND THE LOWEST COST.

WE DO HAVE A NUMBER OF INTERCHANGES BECAUSE OF TIME RESTRICTIONS, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GO OVER ALL OF THEM. WE DO HAVE THE TWO NEW INTERCHANGES AT THE OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD AND CYPRESS CREEK ROAD, WHICH WE'RE GOING TO JUST SHOW SOME GRAPHICS, SOME RENDERINGS AS TO WHAT IT COULD LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE.

AND WE'RE GOING TO COVER SOME IMPROVEMENTS THAT WE'RE PROPOSING TO MAKE AT THE COCONUT CREEK PARKWAY INTERCHANGE.

SO THE FIRST ONE BEING OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD, THIS IS THE EXISTING OVERPASS.

THIS IS HOW IT LOOKS TODAY, AND THIS IS HOW IT CAN POTENTIALLY LOOK IN THE FUTURE WITH A NEW FULL INTERCHANGE.

THE ROCK ISLAND ROAD WOULD HAVE TO BE REALIGNED.

THE INTERSECTION WITH OAKLAND PARK RECONFIGURED TO IMPROVE OPERATIONS.

SO THE THE ACCESS TO AND FROM THE TURNPIKE WOULD BE OFF THAT RAMP CONNECTOR ONTO ROCK ISLAND ROAD TO AND FROM.

THEN HERE IS THE ONE THAT CYPRESS CREEK ROAD.

THIS WILL ONLY BE A PARTIAL INTERCHANGE.

SO THIS IS THE EXISTING CYPRESS CREEK ROAD, MACNAB ROAD OVERPASS, AND THIS IS WHAT PARTIAL INTERCHANGE COULD LOOK LIKE IF BUILT, PROVIDING SOUTHBOUND OFF ACCESS AND NORTHBOUND ON ACCESS.

AT COCONUT CREEK PARKWAY, WE DID LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF OF TRYING OUR BEST TO PULL TURNPIKE AWAY FROM STAYING WITHIN RIGHT OF WAY AND PULLING AS MUCH AS WE CAN AWAY FROM THE WYNMOOR VILLAGE.

SO LET ME SEE IF THERE'S ANY ANIMATION.

[00:55:01]

SO THAT OUR LOOP RAMP THE EXISTING LOOP RAMP WILL BE REMOVED SO THAT SOUTHBOUND ON ACCESS WILL BE PUT INTO THE SOUTHWEST QUADRANT.

SO DRIVERS ON COCONUT CREEK PARKWAY, EITHER DIRECTION WILL BE ABLE TO ACCESS SOUTHBOUND TURNPIKE FROM THERE.

AND THEN THE SOUTHBOUND OFF MOVEMENT.

THAT RAMP IS GOING TO BE PULLED CLOSER TO THE TURNPIKE MAINLINE.

SO THE REMOVAL OF THIS LOOP RAMP SHOULD BE OF A BENEFIT TO THE RESIDENTS JUST ADJACENT TO TO THIS AREA.

AND OF COURSE, HOW COULD I FORGET THE GRAPHICS? SO THE GRAPHIC, THE TOP GRAPHIC SHOWS THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND THE BOTTOM GRAPHIC SHOWS WHAT THAT COULD LOOK LIKE.

THE REMOVAL OF THE RAMP, THE REALIGNED SOUTHBOUND OFF RAMP AND THAT POTENTIAL NOISE WALL.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE NOISE WALL WILL BE AT THE EXISTING STATE RIGHT OF WAY A MAXIMUM OF TWENTY TWO FEET HIGH BECAUSE OF WIND LOAD.

BUT I WANT TO POINT OUT THE LANDSCAPING THAT WILL REMAIN THAT'S NOT ON, THAT'S ON WYNMOOR VILLAGE PROPERTY AND WILL REMAIN IN THE FUTURE.

ALL RIGHT, SO I THINK THIS IS LIKE MY SECOND TO LAST SLIDE.

SO WE HAD A VIRTUAL PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING AND AN IN-PERSON VIRTUAL I SORRY IN PERSON PUBLIC INFORMATION MEETING JUST LAST WEEK, JANUARY 18TH AND 19TH.

MOST CHOSE TO PARTICIPATE VIRTUALLY.

WE HAD OVER 200.

WE'RE STILL GETTING THE COUNTS IN, BUT IT'S ABOUT 250 PEOPLE THAT JOINED VIRTUALLY, AND WE HAD A LOW TURNOUT IN PERSON, ABOUT 50.

BUT WE DID RECEIVE A LOT OF COMMENTS THAT WILL HELP US TO THAT WILL HELP INFORM THE STUDY PROCESS AS WE MOVE FORWARD.

WE'RE LOOKING TO TAKE THIS THING TO PUBLIC HEARING, THIS STUDY TO PUBLIC HEARING IN THE SUMMER OF 2020 THIS YEAR AND WRAP IT OUT, WRAP IT UP AT THE END OF THIS YEAR.

OF COURSE, THINGS CAN.

THAT CAN SLOW DOWN BASED ON A NUMBER OF FACTORS ONE BEING PUBLIC OUTREACH, ADDITIONAL PUBLIC OUTREACH EFFORTS.

SO THIS SCHEDULE HAS SHOWN IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE.

ANY QUESTIONS MYSELF, JAZLYN AND MY SUPERVISOR WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER AND.

THAT IS THE PRESENTATION, THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.

THANK YOU. QUESTIONS, MICHAEL.

GOOD AFTERNOON. THANK YOU FOR THE PRESENTATION.

JUST A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS, SO REGARDING THE IN-PERSON AND VIRTUAL MEETINGS, THERE'S A REQUEST FOR SOME TRANSPARENCY.

AND SO THERE WAS INQUIRIES ON THOSE QUESTIONS THAT DID GET SUBMITTED IF THE IF THE DEPARTMENT OR THE TURNPIKE COULD PROVIDE MAYBE A QUESTION TO ANSWER LINK TO THE PROJECT WEBPAGE, I UNDERSTAND THAT THERE'S PROBABLY SOME DUPLICITY IN THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE SUBMITTED, BUT THERE'S A FEAR THAT, YOU KNOW, MY WHAT I'M HEARING IS MY QUESTION DIDN'T GET ADDRESSED AT THE VIRTUAL MEETING.

YOU HAD A SERIES OF THOSE THAT YOU HAD ADDRESSED THAT WERE IN ADVANCE OF OF YOUR PRESENTATION. SO THAT SO THAT THAT WOULD BE ONE THING I THINK WOULD WHICH WOULD HELP, RIGHT? THAT SOMEBODY KNOWS THAT THEIR QUESTION IS AT LEAST BEING FOLDED INTO THE PD&E OR YOU MAY HAVE A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THAT.

THIS MIGHT BE FOR THE MPO STAFF.

HAS THIS PROJECT BEEN IDENTIFIED EITHER IN THE 2040 OR THE 2045 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN? OH, YES. I APOLOGIZE.

I'M DOING DOUBLE DUTY IN THE SOUND ROOM, SO WOULD YOU JUST MIND REPEATING YOUR QUESTION AGAIN? YEAH, JUST AS A NEED, SHE HAD IDENTIFIED ON ONE OF HER SLIDES THE PURPOSE IN NEED AND AND I WAS JUST CURIOUS IF THE IF BROWARD MPO STAFF HAD HAD IDENTIFIED THIS AS A LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION NEED FOR, YOU KNOW, FOR THAT FORECAST OF 2045 OR WHAT WAS WHAT WAS THE MPO'S POSITION ON IT? SO JUST FOR THE RECORD, PETER GEESE WITH A BROWARD METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION.

SO FOR THE TURNPIKE, WE TYPICALLY COORDINATE WITH THE TURNPIKE ON THEIR LIST OF PROJECTS, AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THEY PROVIDE TO US SINCE IT IS THEIR FACILITY.

IT IS AN ENTERPRISE FUND.

THEY DID COME TO US WITH THIS PROJECT AND IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN AS A RESULT BASED ON THE MODEL RUNS.

[01:00:02]

IN THE MODEL RUN ANALYSIS INCLUDED BOTH AN EIGHT LANE, AN EXISTING SIX LANE, AN ALTERNATIVE EIGHT LANE AND AN ALTERNATIVE TEN LANE? SO IT LOOKED AT THE EXISTING CONDITIONS AND OUT TO 2045 THEN WITH THAT, SO WE DIDN'T LOOK AT IT IN THE CONDITION OF AN EIGHT OR TEN LANE.

SPECIFICALLY, I'D HAVE TO RELY ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE TO SEE WHAT THE ACTUAL NUMBERS ARE IN TERMS OF WHAT IT WOULD LOOK LIKE WITH AN EIGHT LANE CONFIGURATION AND THEN 10 LANE CONFIGURATION.

I SEE JAZLYN NODDED, SO.

RESPOND TO THAT. SO JUST AS A REMINDER, THE TURNPIKE PERFORMED A PD&E STUDY IN 2006 TO ADDRESS DEFICIENCIES.

BACK THEN, LOOKING AT A 2030 DESIGN YEAR AND THE TURNPIKE WAS WHAT WAS RECOMMENDED TO BE WIDENED TO EIGHT LANES BACK THEN IN 2006.

SO HERE WE ARE ABOUT 20 YEARS LATER AND NOW WE'RE LOOKING AT 2045 TRAVEL NEEDS, BASED ON THE TRAFFIC TRAFFIC ANALYSIS PERFORMED.

THE EIGHT LANES ARE NEEDED NOW AND THE 10 LANES WOULD BE NEEDED BY THE YEAR 2040.

SO AS I RECALL, WHEN WE MET IN 2019, WE HAD A COMMITMENT FROM FROM THE ENTERPRISE THAT AN EIGHT LANE ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE PART OF THE ANALYSIS, AND THE PRESENTATION YOU PROVIDED TODAY INCLUDED JUST 10 LANES.

AND IT JUST DEPENDED ON THE GEOMETRY OF WHERE THOSE 10 LANES WERE GOING TO GO.

WHAT WHAT HAPPENED TO THAT COMMITMENT FOR AN 8 LANE? THE TEAM DID LOOK AT EVALUATE THE EIGHT LANES.

THE EIGHT LANES ARE NEEDED WITHIN THAT SEGMENT NOW, AND I GUESS A PD&E STUDY LOOKS AT A 20 YEAR HORIZON, SO IT'S NEEDED NOW.

IT'S DEFICIENT NOW AND IT'S NEEDED.

SO WE DID LOOK AT THE EIGHT LANES AND 10 LANES WOULD BE NEEDED BY 2040.

UNDER YOUR YOUR SLIDES, MAYBE FOR YOUR PRESENTATION TODAY WERE DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS PROVIDED IN MY PACKET.

SO. YES, BUT I HAVE IT SO YOU CAN YOU CAN REFER TO IT AND I WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION. SO THE WAY THE EFFECTS AND EVALUATION PORTION.

WHAT SLIDE NUMBER? FORTY ONE I HAVE.

I HAVE IT. IS THERE A PERCENTAGE THAT'S THAT'S GIVEN ON ON THE WEIGHTS OF EACH ONE OF THOSE CATEGORIES? CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT THAT IS? SO JUST EXPLAIN TO EVERYONE THAT WE'RE SPEAKING ABOUT THE EFFECTS EVALUATION THAT WILL BE PERFORMED ON A SOCIAL, CULTURAL, NATURAL AND PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT.

SO THERE IS NO WEIGHTED VALUE ASSIGNED TO TO MAKE TO PRIORITIZE ONE OF THESE OVER THE OTHER. OK, YOUR CRASH DATA THAT WAS PROVIDED I HAVE A SLIDE NUMBER EIGHT.

YES.

FOR A PD&E STUDY THAT'S COMING FORWARD IN 2022.

YES. YOUR YOUR CRASH DATA IS 10 YEARS OLD.

THERE'S A RESPONSE TO THAT.

IT'S AND I THINK I'M GOING TO NEED HELP.

ANDREW, MAYBE IF YOU CAN HELP ME, BUT IT'S WHERE WE PULL THE DATA FROM.

THERE'S MANY SOURCES OF DATA.

FINISH THAT OFF FOR ME, PLEASE, ANDREW.

SO YOU KNOW, THIS PD&E STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO, AND AT THE TIME WHEN WE STARTED THE PD&E STUDY, WE'RE USING THE MOST RECENT CRASH DATA AVAILABLE PROVIDED BY FDOT.

TYPICALLY, THERE'S A TWO TO THREE YEAR LAG BETWEEN THE TIME THAT YOU START YOUR PD&E STUDY AND THE TIME THAT THE LAST AVAILABLE DATA SET FOR CRASH DATA VIA THE FDOT, AVAILABLE RESOURCES BECAUSE THEY GO IN AND CLEAN THE DATA.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE DONE TO MAKE SURE THE DATA IS ACCURATE.

SO THE DATA WILL BE UPDATED AS PART OF THE 2022 PD&E.

WELL, NO, THE PDE& STARTED SEVERAL YEARS AGO.

SO YOU KNOW, RIGHT NOW WE ARE NOT IN THE PROCESS OF UPDATING THE DATA.

I MEAN, IF WE MOVE FORWARD INTO DESIGN AND THERE'S ANOTHER NEED TO LOOK AT CRASH DATA.

WE WILL. BUT FOR THIS PD&E STUDY, THAT'S JUST A SAMPLING OF WHAT THE CRASHES LOOK LIKE.

WE WOULD ALSO DO A PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS.

WE HAVE TO DO THAT AS PART OF OUR INTERCHANGE ACCESS REQUEST THAT LOOKS INTO THE FUTURE.

SO, YOU KNOW, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE DATA WAS FOUR OR FIVE YEARS OLD OR TWO OR ONE YEARS OLD, THE DATA TRENDS STILL SHOW AN INCREASING LEVEL OF CRASHES HISTORICALLY OVER TIME. THAT'S IMPORTANT.

THE DATA SHOWS THAT THE CRASH TYPES, YOU KNOW, WE HAVE ABOUT A THIRD OF THEM BEING REAR END CRASHES, WHICH IS ASSOCIATED WITH CONGESTION.

THAT'S NOT GOING TO CHANGE WITH NEWER DATA.

SO, YOU KNOW, WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH THE DATA THAT WE HAVE RIGHT NOW, AND WE DON'T THINK THAT, YOU KNOW, PULLING NEW DATA WILL STEER THE PROCESS ANY DIFFERENTLY.

[01:05:04]

SURE. SO SIX OF THE INTERCHANGES ARE GOING TO BE IMPROVED, TWO NEW ONES.

IT LOOKS LIKE I DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC INFORMATION, BUT GENERALLY ON YOUR MAPS, YOU HIGHLIGHT CRASH DATA SIGNIFICANCE IN HIGHER LEVELS AT OR NEAR THE INTERCHANGES WHERE YOU HAVE THE TRUMPET STYLE 1960S DESIGN INTERCHANGE THAT ARE GOING TO CHANGE.

SO IS THERE MODELING THAT'S SHOWING THE IMPROVEMENTS FOR THESE EIGHT NEW INTERCHANGES AND HOW THAT WOULD AFFECT ALL OF THE ALTERNATIVES THAT ARE BEING PROPOSED AS IT RELATES TO CRASH DATA? YEAH. SO AS PART OF OUR INTERCHANGE ACCESS REQUEST, THIS IS A DOCUMENT THAT WE HAVE TO PREPARE TO JUSTIFY THE NEW INTERCHANGES AND IT'S A CORRIDOR LEVEL TRAFFIC REPORT. WE WILL DO A PREDICTIVE ANALYSIS AND THAT'LL TAKE INTO ACCOUNT THE NEW GEOMETRY BEING PROPOSED AT THESE INTERCHANGES.

YOU'RE RIGHT, WHENEVER YOU HAVE AN INTERCHANGE, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE CRASHES, AND THAT'S DUE TO THE JUST EMERGING AND DIVERGING OF TRAFFIC.

IT'S ADDITIONAL CONFLICTS REGARDLESS OF WHETHER YOU HAVE A TRUMPET OR YOU HAVE A DIAMOND.

YOU'RE ALWAYS GOING TO SEE THAT ADDITIONAL CONFLICT POINT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TRAFFIC ENTERING AND EXITING THE SYSTEM.

OK. AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION WOULD GO BACK.

THANK YOU, ANDREW. REGARDING THE NOISE MITIGATION YOU EXCLUDED, THERE'S A COMMUNITY TO THE SOUTH THAT'S ALSO WITHIN CITY.

WHAT IS THAT TO THE CROWN OF THE ROAD? OR IS THAT TO EXISTING GRADE? BECAUSE THE. THE EXISTING GRADE.

SO YOU WOULD SAY THAT THE POSITIVE DRAINAGE THAT'S ALONG THE TURNPIKE IS, YOU KNOW, JUST A SWALE. THERE'S REALLY NO DRAINAGE SYSTEM THAT'S THAT'S THERE.

IT'S A LOWER GRADE, MUCH LOWER GRADE THAN THAN THE CROWN OF THE ROAD.

IT'S PRETTY EVIDENT WHEN YOU WHEN YOU DRIVE ON THE TURNPIKE, YOU CAN SEE THAT THE DRAINAGE THAT'S THERE.

SO WHERE THE RIGHT OF WAY LINE AND LIMITS ARE IS NOT THE SAME AS ELEVATION HEIGHT AS THE CROWN OF THE ROAD. SO IF IT'S FIVE FEET LOWER, EIGHT FEET LOWER THAN THE CROWN OF THE ROAD, A 22 FOOT HIGH WALL JUST NEEDS TO KIND OF BE IN PERSPECTIVE OF PROVIDING IT.

AND THEN ON YOUR ILLUSTRATION, YOU SHOWED WYNMOOR WITH THE RAMP AND THE WALL, THE WALL BEING SUBSTANTIALLY FURTHER AWAY FROM VEHICLE TRAFFIC.

I DON'T KNOW HOW MITIGATION IS GOING TO HELP WITH THAT TYPE OF ILLUSTRATION, BUT IF IF NOISE MITIGATION IS YOUR EFFORT HERE, YOU WOULD THINK THAT THE WALL WOULD BE IN PROXIMITY TO THE TRAVEL LANES. SO IT'S IT'S AROUND THE DRAINAGE LEAK.

YES, THIS THIS IS AT THE THAT'S THAT'S A VERY INTERESTING STATEMENT YOU JUST MADE, BUT THAT THAT IS THIS.

IT'S A RENDERING. SO.

YEAH, BUT BUT WE ARE IN THIS ONE LOCATION.

WE'RE TAKING THE LANES AND MOVING IT AWAY FROM FROM WYNMOOR VILLAGE, WHICH IS WHAT THEY WHAT WE'VE BEEN ASKED TO DO.

WE HAVE NO OBJECTION TO THE DESIGN FOR THE INTERCHANGE, YES, BUT I WOULD THINK THAT THAT WALL WOULD WOULD PERFORM BETTER, NOT AT THAT DISTANCE FROM FROM THE TRAFFIC, BUT COULD BE MY I'M NOT A NOISE MITIGATION EXPERT, BUT IT'S JUST THANK YOU FOR YOUR EFFORT IN THIS PROJECT AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WITH US AND OTHER CITIES IN THE AREA. SO THANK YOU. I APPRECIATE THAT.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE MORE QUESTIONS, BUT I THINK MR. [INAUDIBLE] WANTS TO MAKE A STATEMENT.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR. APPRECIATE IT.

I JUST WANTED TO CLARIFY A PREVIOUS ANSWER THAT I GAVE WITH RESPECT TO ITS INCLUSION IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

YES, IT WAS INCLUDED IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN, BUT I WANT TO BE CLEAR IT WAS JUST THE PD&E. IT WASN'T THE ACTUAL DESIGN OR CONSTRUCTION OF THE PROJECT THAT HAS NOT BEEN PROGRAMED IN THE TURNPIKE WORK PROGRAM.

IT IS SIMPLY THE PD&E THAT IS IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN.

THANK YOU. GREAT.

THANK YOU. NEXT, WE HAVE A VIRTUAL GUEST WITH A QUESTION, MAYOR ROGERS.

GO AHEAD. THANK YOU.

CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES.

[INAUDIBLE] HELLO, THIS IS MAYOR ROGERS, CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES, WE CAN. OK, THANK YOU.

I WAS LOOKING AT THE OTHER NEW INTERCHANGE ONE AT OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD.

AND I'M ALSO INTERESTED IN THE PARTICIPATION FROM THE COMMUNITY THAT WILL BE IMPACTED BY THAT INTERCHANGE AND TO BE MORE SPECIFIC, THE HOSPITAL AS IT RELATES TO NOISE AND WE HAVE SOME CHALLENGES ALREADY IN THAT AREA UNDER THE TURNPIKE IN MY CITY.

SO I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TALK TO SOMEONE ABOUT THAT.

[01:10:04]

THAT'S THE CLOSEST COMMUNITY TO ROCK ISLAND ROAD.

SO EVERY THE LOCAL AGENCIES DO HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT INCREASED TRAFFIC ALONG OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD, BUT THEY REALLY ARE INTERESTED IN HAVING THIS THING CONSTRUCTED.

WE MET WITH THE CHIEF OF STAFF, SOMEONE REALLY HIGH UP AT FLORIDA MEDICAL CENTER, AND THERE ARE ALSO REALLY INTERESTED IN HAVING THIS INTERCHANGE BUILT.

OF COURSE, IT WOULD PROVIDE MORE IMMEDIATE ACCESS TO AND FROM THE TURNPIKE.

SO WE WE HAVE MET WITH CITY OF LAUDERHILL AND WE CONTINUE TO MEET WITH THEM AND THE OTHER SIDE ON THE EAST SIDE.

I THINK IT'S LAUDERDALE LAKES.

SO WE HAVE REALLY DONE OUR DUE DILIGENCE WITH REACHING OUT TO TO NOT JUST THE LOCAL AGENCIES, BUT THE [INAUDIBLE] ASSOCIATION AT THIS LOCATION.

OK, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I KNOW THE COMMUNITY, THE HOSPITAL HAVE AN INTEREST IN SEEING THIS EXIT OR INTERCHANGE, AS WE WOULD CALL IT, AND IT'S A LONG TIME COMING.

NUMEROUS DISCUSSIONS OVER MANY YEARS.

THANK YOU, MAYOR. AND THEN WE HAVE QUESTION FROM THE AUDIENCE, MS. ROSE. THANK YOU, [INAUDIBLE], IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU ALL AGAIN.

AND DO YOU MIND IF I TAKE MY MASK OFF? JUST VERY BRIEFLY REPRESENTING THE CITY OF COCONUT CREEK, I'M SHEILA ROSE.

I'VE BEEN FOLLOWING THIS PROJECT FOR MANY, MANY YEARS AND IN FACT WAS IN ATTENDANCE AT A MEETING WITH THE TURNPIKE EXECUTIVES WHEN THEY MADE THIS COMMITMENT TO STUDY AN EIGHT LANE ALTERNATIVE.

AND WE ARE STINGING BECAUSE, AS YOU SAW IN THE ALTERNATIVES PRESENTED THAT FROM 595 TO ATLANTIC BOULEVARD, THERE'S A PROPOSAL THAT INCLUDES WIDENING ABOUT THE CENTER LINE, WHEN YOU SHIFT TO NORTH OF ATLANTIC BOULEVARD.

THE PROPOSAL IS TO SHIFT THE ENTIRE WIDENING PROJECT TO THE WEST SIDE OF THE CORRIDOR.

SO IT IS NOT JUST IT IS FOUR LANES PLUS POTENTIALLY AUXILIARY LANES AND THE BUFFER REQUIRED TO ACCOMMODATE THE MANAGED LANES.

THE CONCEPT OF MANAGED LANES IN THE COCONUT CREEK VICINITY APPEARS TO NOT EVEN ALLOW COCONUT CREEK RESIDENTS TO ACCESS THEM.

SO WE STRUGGLE WITH THAT CONCEPT AS WELL.

WHAT I ASK IS THAT INSTEAD OF LOOKING AT THESE TURNPIKE PROJECTS THAT COME BEFORE YOU AND AND RUBBER STAMPING THEM IS THAT YOU REALLY LOOK AT WHETHER THIS IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF BROWARD COUNTY TO CONTINUE WIDENING EXPRESSWAYS AND FREEWAYS TO PROVIDE FOR PRINCIPALLY SINGLE OCCUPANCY VEHICLES.

A 10 LANE OR A 10 LANE PLUS PROJECT HAS SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS, AND IT IS DESIGNED PRINCIPALLY FOR SINGLE OCCUPANCY VEHICLES.

THIS GROUP HAS PRIORITIZED COMPLETE STREETS, TRANSIT MOBILITY AND ADDRESSING THE ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH CHANGING BROWARD COUNTY TO BEING A COUNTY THAT'S SUSTAINABLE.

INTERESTING IN FDOT'S MISSION, THE WORD ENVIRONMENT IS NOT EVEN INCLUDED.

I LIVE IN EAST POMPANO AND MY HOUSE IS GOING UNDERWATER.

I THINK THIS IS A CRITICAL ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED.

IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PROJECT THAT IS FORECASTING STRAIGHT LINE GROWTH OF CARS TO 2045, I URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHETHER THIS TYPE OF ALTERNATIVE IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF BROWARD COUNTY.

SET ASIDE THE SIGNIFICANT IMPACTS TO OUR ELDER COMMUNITY AND ONE OF OUR LOWEST INCOME COMMUNITIES IN COCONUT CREEK, WHO ARE NOW BEING PRESENTED WITH AN ALTERNATIVE THAT PUTS A TWENTY TWO PLUS FOOT NOISE WALL IN THE BACKYARDS OF THEIR TOWN HOMES THAT ARE LITERALLY ALREADY CRUMBLING.

THE NOISE IS SO OVERWHELMING IN THAT LOCATION TO THINK THAT A NOISE WALL.

MAYBE IT WILL BENEFIT THEM, RIGHT IF THEY'RE STANDING IN THE SHADE IN THEIR BACKYARD, BUT IT CERTAINLY WON'T BENEFIT THE NEIGHBOR.

IT WON'T BENEFIT THE RESIDENTS ACROSS THE STREET, AND IT WON'T BENEFIT THOSE THAT ARE LIVING IN THEIR SECOND AND THIRD STORIES.

SO I URGE YOU TO THINK ABOUT WHETHER ALLOWING THESE THINGS THAT COME THROUGH AS SORT OF ROUTINE ANALYZES OF EXPANSIONS AND CONTINUATIONS OF BUILDING EXPRESSWAYS IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF BROWARD COUNTY.

SO I JUST WANT YOU TO PUT YOUR THINKING CAPS ON.

AND YOU KNOW, FROM THE CITY OF COCONUT CREEK, WE ARE AGGRESSIVELY OPPOSED TO THIS PROJECT. WE CERTAINLY SUPPORT THE INTERCHANGE MODIFICATIONS.

I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF GOOD THINGS THAT COULD COME OUT OF THIS PROJECT, BUT WITH A

[01:15:02]

THANK YOU, SHEILA. GOOD TO SEE YOU.

ANY OTHER QUESTIONS, [INAUDIBLE]? THANKS, HONORABLE. I DO HAVE A QUESTION.

THAT'S NOT A QUESTION, ACTUALLY, I DO HAVE A REQUEST.

IS IT POSSIBLE THAT YOU CAN MAKE A PRESENTATION TO OUR CITY COMMISSION, AS YOU HEARD FROM OUR HONORABLE MAYOR? SHE GOT SOME [INAUDIBLE] ON THIS PROJECT, BUT WE HAVE OTHER COMMISSIONERS, AS WE, YOU KNOW, WILL BE HEAVILY IMPACTED DUE TO THE NEW INTERSECTION THAT YOU ARE PROPOSING. YOU HAD A STAFF LEVEL MEETING.

YES, I HAVE THE POINT OF CONTACT FOR CITY OF LAUDERDALE LAKES AND WE HAD MEETING AND I KNOW THIS PROJECT SINCE 2016, BUT I DO HAVE A REQUEST THAT I THINK YOU CAN MAKE A PRESENTATION TO OUR CITY COMMISSION.

OF COURSE. THEY SAY THEY'LL FEEL COMFORTABLE AND THEY'LL BE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THIS PROJECT TO LET THE COMMUNITY KNOW THAT OUR PROJECT IS COMING AND HOW THEY'LL BE BENEFITED. SO THE TEAM WILL REACH OUT DIRECTLY TO THE COMMISSION.

AND YOU CAN COORDINATE THROUGH ME.

WILL DO.

OK, THANK YOU, MR. GOOD. GO AHEAD. THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

I JUST WANT TO THANK THE LAST SPEAKER, MS. ROSE, FOR POINTING OUT SOME OF THE IMPACTS THAT ARE ON COCONUT CREEK.

YOU ALL KNOW THAT DEERFIELD CERTAINLY HAD A VERY SIMILAR EXPERIENCE WITH THE SOUTHWEST TENTH STREET CORRIDOR, AND IT WAS ONLY BECAUSE OF THIS BODY, THE MPO BOARD, THAT HELPED TO MAKE THAT PROJECT A MUCH MORE ACCEPTABLE, COMMUNITY FRIENDLY, SUSTAINABLE AS WHAT MS. ROSE WAS SPEAKING TO.

SO I SEE THAT THE REPORT HERE WAS FOR THE PROJECT THAT GOES FROM 595 TO WILES ROAD, AND I BELIEVE THAT MS. ROSE MAY BE SPEAKING ABOUT THE PROJECT THAT MAY BE FURTHER NORTH OF THAT, AS WELL AS THAT, CORRECT? IF. NO.

EXCUSE ME. THANK YOU, MR. GOOD. THE PD&E STUDY IS FROM 595 TO JUST NORTH OF WILES ROAD, BUT AS YOU KNOW, THERE ARE A SERIES OF PROJECTS THAT ARE ALL COMING TOGETHER.

THE NEXT SECTION NORTH WOULD BE WILES ROAD TO THE TENTH STREET INTERCHANGE, THE TENTH STREET PROJECT.

THE ADDITIONAL INTERCHANGE MODIFICATIONS AT THE TURNPIKE AND THE SAW.

I MEAN AT THE TURNPIKE AND THE SAWGRASS.

AND THEN EXPANSIONS THAT ARE PROPOSED FURTHER TO THE NORTH SO THAT THE DECISIONS THAT ARE REACHED TODAY HAVE IMPLICATIONS ON ALL THOSE PROJECTS DOWNSTREAM OR UPSTREAM OR ACROSS STREAM, AS THE CASE MAY BE.

SO I GUESS I HAVE A QUESTION WHEN WHEN WILL THIS PD&E COME BEFORE THE MPO FOR APPROVAL? OR DOES IT BECAUSE IT'S A TURNPIKE PROJECT? YEAH, AS AS YOU MENTIONED, YES, IT IS A TERM PROJECT IS GOING TO.

WE ARE GOING TO PRESENT THE PROJECT.

ONCE WE ARE MOVING INTO THE PUBLIC HEARING, WE'RE GOING TO COME BACK AND SHOW BASICALLY THE ALTERNATIVE THAT WE ARE RECOMMENDING TO MOVE FORWARD FOR THE PUBLIC HEARING.

[INAUDIBLE] SO WHAT? YEAH, MY NAME IS HENRY PINZON.

I AM THE TURNPIKE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ENGINEER.

THANK YOU, SIR. I.

BUT WHAT IS THE SCHEDULE FOR WHEN THIS IS? WHEN IS INTENDED TO COME BEFORE THE MPO? IT'S GOING TO BE BY THE END OF THIS YEAR.

BY THE END OF THIS YEAR? YES.

AND WILL BE WILL WE BE RECEIVING MORE REPORTS IN REGARDS TO THE PUBLIC PROCESS? YES, WE ARE GOING TO CONTINUE THE PUBLIC PROCESS.

AS JUSTIN MENTIONED, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MEETINGS AGAIN.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE, WE CAN MEET WITH THE CITY AGAIN AND THAT ARE WE'RE OPEN HERE TO CONTINUE THE ENGAGE IN THE PUBLIC AND THE ELECTED OFFICIALS AND ALSO THE CITIES AND COUNTIES. YEAH. THANK YOU.

SO I JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE MY COLLEAGUES HERE TO PAY ATTENTION TO THIS HERE.

LIKE MS. ROSE HAS SPOKE SOMETIMES SOME OF THESE THINGS COME BEFORE US, AND THEY'RE OF SUCH A MAGNITUDE THAT AND SOMETIMES THEY'RE REALLY OF A DISTANCE TO US THAT WE REALLY DON'T REALLY KNOW HOW THAT IMPACT IS JUST SOUNDS GOOD, YOU KNOW, BECAUSE IT MOVES TRAFFIC. BUT BUT CERTAINLY THE CHARACTER OF A COMMUNITY IS VERY, VERY IMPORTANT.

WHEN IT'S YOUR COMMUNITY, YOU KNOW HOW IMPORTANT IT IS.

SO, YOU KNOW, YOU ALL HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK WITH YOUR BOARD REPRESENTATIVE, I THINK IS VERY IMPORTANT JUST TO KEEP THAT ON THE RADAR.

[01:20:02]

SO THANK YOU AGAIN. MS. ROSE FOR BRINGING THAT TO OUR ATTENTION.

THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR.

THANK YOU, MR. GOOD, MR. PEREZ. THERE YOU GO.

THANK YOU. YES.

A QUESTION FOR JAZLYN.

THE ONE OF THE MAIN ISSUES, I GUESS FOR RESIDENTS IS THE NOISE, BUT ALSO GLARE FROM THE LAMPS USED IN THE RIGHT OF WAY TEND TO BE AN ISSUE FOR RESIDENTS LIVING DIRECTLY ADJACENT TO THESE ROADS.

WILL HOODS BE USED ON THESE LAMPS TO SHIELD THESE PROPERTIES FROM, YOU KNOW, LIGHT SPILLAGE OR GLARE FROM THE LAMPS? I DON'T KNOW THE EXACT ANSWER TO THAT, BUT THAT'S SOMETHING I'LL HAVE TO TAKE A LOOK AND TAKE THAT BACK TO THE OFFICE AND SEE HOW THEY ADDRESS THAT.

OK? OK. AND ALSO FOR THE NOISE.

OFTENTIMES, THESE WALLS JUST ACT AS ECHO CHAMBERS.

OR HAVE THERE BEEN ANY, YOU KNOW, EXAMINATION AS TO OR, I GUESS, EXPLORATION AND USING TREES OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT TO DAMPEN THE NOISE.

SO IT'S NOT JUST BOUNCING OFF THE WALLS AND, YOU KNOW, NOT HAVING MUCH EFFECT OR BENEFIT TO THE NEIGHBORING PROPERTIES.

I ALSO AM NOT A NOISE EXPERT, BUT I DID HEAR HIM SPEAK ABOUT THAT AS WELL, SO I'LL ALSO HAVE TO FOLLOW UP ON THAT QUESTION.

OK. THANK YOU FOR THOSE QUESTIONS.

YEAH, THANK YOU. DOES ANYBODY ELSE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS? IF YOU'RE ON THE LINE, PLEASE RAISE YOUR HAND.

AND IN THE MEANTIME, I DO HAVE ONE WITH THE MCNAB ROAD CYPRESS CREEK INTERCHANGE.

THAT CURVE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS.

WE HAVE A LOT OF WE HAVE FATALITIES AND CRASHES AT THAT CURVE ALREADY AND ADDING A SIGNAL THERE IS JUST A LITTLE CONCERNING WHERE WHERE THE LIGHT IS THERE, PEOPLE ARE COMING UP OVER THE HIGHWAY AND COMING AROUND CORNERS AND MAYBE NOT EXPECTING THAT TO BE THERE.

SO I JUST I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AND THE IMPACTS DOWNSTREAM TO THE RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS THERE AND WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN FOR THEM.

THANK YOU. WE HAVE A VIRTUAL HAND RAISED REBECCA.

YES, WE HAVE MAYOR ROGERS.

MAYOR ROGERS. GO AHEAD.

THANK YOU. CAN YOU HEAR ME? YES WE CAN. I JUST WANT TO DITTO SHEILA ROSE'S COMMENTS AS IT RELATES TO THE NOISE AND ALSO TO.

ALTHOUGH FOR THE MEDICAL NEW OWNERS ATTENDED THE MEETINGS, THEY MIGHT NOT BE PRIVY TO SOME OF THE DISCUSSIONS WE'RE HAVING HERE WITH PROFESSIONAL STAFF.

DID WE LOSE HER? MAYOR ROGERS? HER TECHNOLOGY MAY HAVE FROZEN, UNFORTUNATELY, OR IT GOT CUT OFF.

WEATHER GOING ON BEHIND US, I SEE.

[INAUDIBLE] AS IT IS OUR HONORABLE MAYOR, AS YOU ARE PLANNING TO SCHEDULE A MEETING WITH THEM, MAYBE YOU CAN HAVE ALL KIND OF QUESTIONS THAT SHE MAY HAVE.

AND I'LL TALK TO HER ON IT.

OKAY, THANK YOU. YOU CAN SEND ME HOW SOON YOU CAN DO THAT PRESENTATION.

I'LL GIVE YOU THE DATES SO YOU CAN WORK ON IT.

WE'LL DO. THANK YOU.

MAYOR ROGERS, AGAIN, WE ARE BACK.

NO. SO, DAVID WALKER.

YES, I THINK IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL JUST FOR FDOT TO GIVE US AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EXTENT. I'M SORRY, I'M OVER HERE IN THE CORNER AND WAS IT JAZYLN? YES.

HER AND HER TEAM HAVE BEEN AMAZING IN TERMS OF PUBLIC OUTREACH, ESPECIALLY WITH THE [INAUDIBLE] ASSOCIATION. SO I DO WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.

BUT JUST TO REITERATE SOMETHING THAT JP HAD MENTIONED OR MR. PEREZ, IT'D BE BENEFICIAL FOR THE MUNICIPALITIES TO HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EXTENT FDOT CAN COVER WHEN IT COMES TO NOISE DAMPENING MECHANISMS. BECAUSE I KNOW IN OUR MEETINGS, ESPECIALLY WITH THE [INAUDIBLE] ASSOCIATION, THEY MADE MENTION OF DIFFERENT TIER MECHANISMS WITH LANDSCAPING BUFFERS ALONG THE WALLS.

AND YOU KNOW, I HAVE TO TELL YOU, IT DIDN'T SEEM LIKE FDOT WAS NECESSARILY INTERESTED OR ABLE TO COVER THOSE EXPENSES.

SO JUST HAVING THAT UNDERSTANDING, I THINK, WOULD BE VERY BENEFICIAL FOR THE

[01:25:01]

I'LL HAVE TO DO SOME MORE RESEARCH AND GET BACK TO YOU GUYS ON THAT.

OKAY. THANKS.

ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WILL ECHO MR. GOOD. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO REACH OUT TO THE TURNPIKE AND MAKE SURE YOU GET OUTREACH AND EXPRESS YOUR OPINIONS NOW.

I WOULDN'T WAIT TILL THIS SUMMER WHEN IT'S THE PUBLIC HEARING THAT'S REALLY TOO LATE, SO.

AND SHARE WITH YOUR COMMISSIONER OR BOARD MEETINGS YOUR CONCERNS IF YOU'RE IMPACTED BY THIS. THANK YOU.

NEXT, WE'LL MOVE ON TO THE NEXT ITEM, WHICH IS THE MPO FEDERAL AND STATE LEGISLATIVE

[2. 2022 Broward MPO Federal & State Legislative Priorities]

SO EVERY YEAR, THE BROWARD MPO ADOPTS SORRY POLICIES, FEDERAL PLANNING PRIORITIES AT THE FEDERAL AND STATE LEVEL.

SO THESE WERE ADOPTED ON DECEMBER 9TH, AND THIS IS WHAT GUIDES STAFF AND OUR BOARD MEMBERS ON TRYING TO INFLUENCE FEDERAL AND STATE TRANSPORTATION POLICY OVER THE NEXT YEAR. THIS IS VERY PERTINENT FOR TWO REASONS.

ONE, AS WE KNOW, STATE SESSION IS IT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.

OUR LEGISLATURE OUR LEGISLATORS BUSY DRAFTING VARIOUS BILLS THAT IMPACT OUR TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS. ALSO, WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE IIJA, THERE ARE A LOT OF NEW PROGRAMS WHERE THEY HAVE REACHED OUT TO STAFF AND TO MPOS AND TO VARIOUS TRANSPORTATION ORGANIZATIONS TO HELP CRAFT THE RULEMAKING THAT GOES ALONG WITH SOME OF THE NEW AND EXISTING PROGRAMS. SO I'M GOING TO START WITH THE FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE PRIORITIES.

THERE'S A STARK DIFFERENCE BETWEEN, YOU'LL NOTICE BETWEEN FEDERAL AND STATE AND THAT THE FEDERAL ONES ARE VERY BROAD.

THIS IS AT THE ADVICE OF OUR FEDERAL ADVOCATES WHO SUGGESTED TO KEEP THINGS AS BROAD AS POSSIBLE TO GIVE US FLEXIBILITY AND TO INFLUENCE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

MEANWHILE, IN THE STATE IS THE OPPOSITE.

I'LL GET INTO THAT. SO WE'VE BROKEN DOWN EACH ONE TO THREE CATEGORIES FIRST ONE SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY.

THIS IS LOOKING AT CARBON SUPPORTING CARBON REDUCTION PROGRAMS AND THE NEW PROGRAMS IN THE IIJA, WHICH OF WHICH THERE ARE MANY NEW SAFETY PROGRAMS. PREVIOUSLY, SAFETY WASN'T CALLED OUT AS MUCH AS IT HAS AS IT IS NOW, AND THERE ARE SEVERAL PROGRAMS SPECIFICALLY GEARED AT SAFETY.

NEXT WE'RE LOOKING AT INFRASTRUCTURE.

THESE COVER THE GAMUT FROM NEW TECHNOLOGIES, WHERE WE'RE LOOKING TO INVEST IN.

EXISTING TECHNOLOGIES AND EXISTING SYSTEMS SUCH AS ROADS, BRIDGES, SEWER LINES.

OK, LOOKING AT FUNDING TO REPLACE AND IMPROVE THOSE OK, AND ALSO INCREASED FUNDING FOR CAPITAL INVESTMENTS FOR TRANSIT AGENT OR TRANSIT PARTNERS.

AND THE THIRD CATEGORY AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL IS FUNDING FLEXIBILITY.

IT'S TO GIVE OUR BOARD THE FLEXIBILITY AND THE FUNDING TO PROVIDE PROJECTS WHICH MEET OUR LOCAL AND REGIONAL NEEDS.

ALL RIGHT. THIS IS THROUGH THE SURFACE TRANSPORTATION BLOCK GRANT, WHICH IS OUR MAIN FUNDING SOURCE. IT'S ALSO THROUGH PARTICULARLY THE HIGHWAY TRUST FUND, WHICH IS WHERE THAT FUNDING IS, WHERE OUR FUNDING COMES FROM.

AND THEN MOST IMPORTANTLY TO US IS OR NOT MOST IMPORTANTLY, BUT ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'RE ALSO POINTING OUT IS TO USE CURRENT CENSUS NUMBERS IN THE FORMULAS.

FOR THESE, YOU DON'T KNOW, THE NEW ONE OF THE IIJA IS FUNDED AT THE ALL.

THE FORMULA FUNDING IS USING THE 2000 CENSUS POPULATION DISTRIBUTION.

SO, MADAM CHAIR, SINCE WE'RE ON FEDERAL, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TAKE QUESTIONS NOW OR DO YOU WANT TO WAIT UNTIL THE END? OK.

SO NOW ON THE STATE SIDE, ONCE AGAIN, THESE ARE MUCH MORE SPECIFIC JUST BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE TWO BODIES OPERATE, OPERATE.

SO ONCE AGAIN, ON SAFETY AND SUSTAINABILITY BEING MORE SPECIFIC, WE'RE LOOKING AT EXPANDING REGULATIONS ON DISTRACTED DRIVING.

OK. AND THEN IN GENERAL, INCREASING CLIMATE MITIGATION FUNDS.

OK. AGAIN, FUNDING FLEXIBILITY, YOU'RE SEEING THEMES IN THESE.

OK. WE WANT OUR BOARD, OUR BOARD TO BE ABLE TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY TO DELIVER THE PROJECTS WE NEED, AND THIS IS PARTICULARLY LOOKING AT THE SIS FUNDING.

OK. AND I KNOW MR. CROSS IS MOST INTERESTED IN LOOKING AT TRIP FUNDING AND BEING ABLE TO FLEX THAT AND APPLY THAT AS WE NEED. OK.

AND THE LAST ONE WHICH YOU WON'T SEE ON THE FEDERAL IS THE MPO EXPANSION.

AS AS YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THE MPO BOARD.

[01:30:03]

AND LASTLY, IT'S TO ALLOW OUR MPOS BECAUSE WE ARE REGIONAL AND THERE ARE SOME OTHER MPOS ACROSS THE STATE WHICH HAVE EVEN LARGER BOUNDARIES THAN US, AND THEY STILL HAVE TO CONDUCT MEETINGS IN PERSON.

SO WE WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO VIRTUAL MEETINGS.

WITH THAT, WE'RE DONE. GREAT, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR PAUL OR JAD? NO, YOU'RE GOOD, THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR TIME. OUR NEXT ITEM ON THE AGENDA IS THE COMPLETE STREETS

[3. Complete Streets Initiative Walking Audits]

MY NAME IS BENJAMIN RESTREPO, TRANSPORTATION ENGINEER HERE AT THE BROWARD MPO, AND I'M NEW, THE NEW PROJECT MANAGER FOR THE WALKING AUDITS HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY.

SO IN THIS PRESENTATION, I'M GOING TO GO THROUGH A COUPLE OF THINGS JUST KIND OF GIVE A REFRESHER OF WHAT OUR WALKING AUDITS PROGRAM IS, WHAT WE'VE DONE IN THE PAST AND WHERE WE'RE GOING IN THE FUTURE.

SO WALKING AUDIT IS BASICALLY A SAFETY AUDIT OF A CORRIDOR.

AND WHAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ABOUT THESE AUDITS IS WE DO IT ON FOOT, SO WE GET THAT PERSON OR THAT HUMAN SCALE FEEL WHEN WE'RE WALKING THROUGH THE CORRIDORS.

SOME OF THE THINGS WE WE LOOK TO DO IN THE WALKING AUDITS IS ENGAGE THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND STAKEHOLDERS, IDENTIFY ACTION ITEMS THAT WILL HELP IMPROVE OUR MULTIMODAL SAFETY.

AND THEN THE BIGGEST THING ABOUT OUR WALKING AUDITS IS THEY HELP CONTRIBUTE TO WRITING OUR SCOPES, OF OUR PROJECTS, ON OUR COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN.

SO THIS SLIDE IS TO GIVE YOU A REFRESHER THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN.

WHAT THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN DOES IS HELPS GUIDE FUTURE INVESTMENT OR COMPLETE STREETS IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDES AND PRIORITIZED LIST OF PROJECTS BASED ON TECHNICAL DATA DRIVEN ANALYSIS, AND IT'S DRIVEN BY SOCIAL EQUITY AND MULTIMODAL DEMAND.

WHAT'S REALLY GOOD ABOUT THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN OR WHAT WE USE THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN FOR WHEN IT'S IN REGARDS TO THE WALKING AUDITS IS WE USE THAT PRIORITY LIST TO FIGURE OUT WHAT CORRIDORS WE'RE GOING TO CONDUCT A WALKING AUDIT AND WE DON'T WANT TO REINVENT THE WHEEL. SO WE JUST GO DOWN THE PRIORITY LIST.

AND WHICHEVER ONE'S NEXT ON THE LIST IS THE CORRIDOR WE'RE GOING TO AUDIT.

PARTNERSHIP IS REALLY KEY.

SO AS WE'RE GOING DOWN THE LIST OF THE COMPLETE STREETS MASTER PLAN, WE REACH OUT TO LOCAL CITIES AND SEE IF THEY'RE INTERESTED IN BECOMING A HOST CITY FOR OUR WALKING AUDIT.

AND THEN ALSO OTHER TYPES OF PARTNERSHIP OR NONTRADITIONAL PARTNERSHIPS IS WITH AARP, YMCA, ELECTED OFFICIALS AND SO ON.

AND SO THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF WHAT OUR WALKING AUDIT PROGRAM IS.

IT STARTS WITH PREP WORK, SO THIS IS LIKE A PRE WALK BEFORE WE GET THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS OUT IS ALSO A DESKTOP REVIEW OF THE CORRIDOR, JUST SO WE CAN SET THE TONE FOR WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO AUDIT ON THE CORRIDOR.

AND THEN AFTER THE PREP WORK, WE ACTUALLY CONDUCT THE AUDIT WITH COMMUNITY MEMBERS, STAKEHOLDERS, PROFESSIONALS AND TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES, AND THEN ALSO WITH THE NONTRADITIONAL MEMBERS SUCH AS THE YMCA AND ELECTED OFFICIALS.

AFTER OUR AUDIT, WE GO INTO OUR WORKSHOP AND OUR WORKSHOP IS WHEN WE GATHER EVERYTHING WE FOUND ON THE AUDIT AND WE HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH EVERYONE WHO WAS INVOLVED WITH THE AUDIT. AND THEN WE TAKE THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS AND THEN WE MAKE A WALKING AUDIT REPORT AND THEN THAT REPORT IS THEN SHARED WITH ALL THE COMMUNITY MEMBERS.

SO THIS IS JUST AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT OUR PRE WALK CORRIDOR ASSESSMENT IS.

THIS IS MAINLY DONE WITH OUR CONSULTANT, MPO STAFF AND MAYBE SOME CITY STAFF.

THIS IS JUST BEFORE WE GET ALL THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER.

AGAIN, THIS IS JUST TO SET THE TONE.

WHAT IS IT THAT WE'RE GOING TO LOOK FOR? HOW DO WE ENCOURAGE COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO OR HOW DO WE HOW DO WE RECOMMEND WHAT COMMUNITY MEMBERS SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR WHEN THEY'RE WALKING ON THE AUDITS? THE WALK IS TYPICALLY TWO TO FOUR GROUPS.

IT DEPENDS ON THE SIZE OF THE CORRIDOR, THE LENGTH OF THE CORRIDOR THAT WAS SELECTED.

GROUP SIZES RANGE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 10 AND 15 PEOPLE.

GROUP LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR FACILITATING DISCUSSION AND ENTERING FEEDBACK AND DATA.

THAT'S WHY WE HAVE THIS SLIDE OF OUR FOR THIS PICTURE OF OUR IPADS AND CAMERAS.

INSTEAD OF WRITING THINGS DOWN ON A PIECE OF PAPER THAT MAY DELAY OUR AUDIT OR TRYING TO REMEMBER WHAT WE SAW AND WRITE IT DOWN LATER, WE TAKE INTERACTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND SOFTWARE SO THAT WE CAN START IMPLEMENTING WHAT WE OR NOT IMPLEMENTING, WE START INPUTTING WHAT WE FOUND WHILE WE'RE WALKING THROUGH THE CORRIDOR.

SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT OUR AUDITS GROUPS LOOK LIKE, AND THESE ARE SOME OF THE

[01:35:05]

ENHANCE CROSSWALK VISIBILITY.

MAYBE ADD SOME BIKE LANES IF WE HAVE EXTRA PAVEMENT OUT THERE.

OBVIOUSLY, WE HAVE A GROUP OF ABOUT EIGHT PEOPLE THERE, AND IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE WE ALL FIT IN THE SIDEWALK. SO, YEAH, A RECOMMENDATION LIKE WIDER SIDEWALKS WILL DEFINITELY COME UP THE WORKSHOP.

THIS IS PICTURES OF PAST WORKSHOPS THAT WE'VE DONE ON FOR THESE WALKING AUDITS.

SO YOU CAN SEE WE HAVE A ROLLOUT OF THE CORRIDOR AND EVERYONE IS JUST FREE TO TO MAKE COMMENTS, INTERACT AND SHARE IDEAS.

THE REPORT. AFTER OUR WALKING AUDITS, WE DO DOCUMENT EVERYTHING THAT WE FOUND AND EVERYTHING, EVERY RECOMMENDATION THAT COMES OUT EITHER FROM A STAKEHOLDER OR A TECHNICAL EXPERT. WE TAKE THAT AND THEN WE VET IT.

TECHNICALLY, WE SAY, HEY, WHAT CAN FIT IN THIS CORRIDOR AND WHAT ARE REALISTIC EXPECTATIONS THAT WE CAN DO ON THIS CORRIDOR? SO THEN AFTER WE VET OUT ALL THE RECOMMENDATIONS, WE CATEGORIZE IT EITHER BY SHORT TERM, MID-TERM AND LONG TERM.

AND THEN THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS WHEN WE DO THESE WALKING AUDITS IS THAT SAFETY'S FIRST. SO THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF SOME OF THE OUTCOMES THAT'S COME UP FROM PAST WALKING AUDITS, WE CONDUCTED A WALKING AUDIT IN PEMBROKE PINES ON UNIVERSITY DRIVE BETWEEN PINES BOULEVARD AND TAFT STREET.

SO RIGHT NOW THERE IS A PROJECT THAT IS IN DESIGN WITH FDOT, SO WE WERE ABLE TO RECOMMEND FINDINGS OR THINGS THAT CAME FROM THE WALKING AUDIT, AND IT WAS ABLE TO CHANGE THE DESIGN, SUCH AS BICYCLE FACILITY ON BOTH SIDES OR DEDICATED BICYCLE FACILITY ON BOTH SIDES OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE SPECIAL EMPHASIS CROSSWALKS, IMPROVED DRAINAGE.

WE NOTICED THERE'S A LOT OF DRAINAGE ISSUES OUT THERE WHEN WE DID THE WALKING AUDIT BACK SO MANY YEARS AGO. SO THAT WAS MORE OF A LONG TERM IMPROVEMENT.

SHORT TERM IMPROVEMENTS, SUCH AS THE ONE WE'VE DONE IN DEERFIELD BEACH WAS JUST BASIC MAINTENANCE THINGS THAT CAN BE QUICK FIXED.

AND THEN WHAT WAS REALLY GOOD ABOUT THESE, THESE QUICK FIX THINGS THAT HELPED FDOT PRIORITIZE MAINTENANCE REPAIRS ALONG THE CORRIDOR SO THAT THEN THEY DIDN'T HAVE TO PROGRAM A BIGGER PROJECT THAN FIX EVERYTHING LATER DOWN THE ROAD.

SO THIS MAP JUST KIND OF SHOWS YOU WHERE WE'VE BEEN ALL ALONG.

BROWARD COUNTY, AS YOU CAN SEE, WE'VE HIT A FEW A FEW CITIES, AND WE HOPE THAT THIS PROGRAM KEEPS CONTINUING SO THAT WE CAN EVENTUALLY HIT ALL THE CITIES IN OUR COUNTY.

THE NEXT TWO CITIES THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE CONDUCTING, THE WALKING AUDITS ARE GOING TO BE FORT LAUDERDALE AND MIRAMAR.

WE ARE RIGHT NOW COORDINATING WITH THE CITIES, TRYING TO CREATE A METHODOLOGY AND THEN SCHEDULE THE ACTUAL WALKING AUDIT.

IDEALLY, THE WALKING AUDIT WOULD BE DONE BETWEEN MARCH AND APRIL, AND THEN IN JUNE WE WOULD FINALIZE THE REPORTS AND SEND IT OUT TO EVERYONE.

SO IF YOU HAD A NEW YEAR'S GOAL TO GET OUT AND WALK MORE, WE INVITE YOU ALL TO COME JOIN US ON OUR WALKING AUDIT AND IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU CAN ASK ME OR MY INFORMATION IS ON THE SCREEN.

GREAT. THANK YOU. BENJAMIN, DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WALKING AUDIT PROGRAM? ALL RIGHT.

NO. THANK YOU.

THANK YOU.

SO NEXT ITEMS ARE JUST A COMMITTEE REPORTS ON WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THE PAST MONTH AND

[ COMMITTEE REPORTS - no discussion ]

[ ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS ]

REGISTER NOW. IT'S COMING SOON, FEBRUARY 17TH AND 18TH IN MIAMI.

AND I THINK THAT IS IT, REBECCA.

THAT IS ALL WE HAVE.

SO IF ANY MEMBERS HAVE ANY COMMENTS BEFORE WE CLOSE THE MEETING, ANYTHING YOU'D LIKE TO SHARE? NO.

GREAT. THANK YOU.

HAVE A GREAT WEEK. WE'LL CLOSE THE MEETING.
