[1. MOTION TO APPROVE an Amendment to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2020 - 2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP): Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) - Roll-Forward Report With Staff Recommendations]

COUNCILLOR WOULD YOU PLEASE READ ACTION ITEM ONE. YES SIR. THAT IS MOTION TO

[00:30:04]

APPROVE AN AMENDMENT TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2020 THROUGH 2020 FOR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. SO OUR DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION ROLL FORWARD REPORT WITH STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS. OKAY. AND WE HAVE A SHORT PRESENTATION BY MRS. CHEN.

CHAIR. BOARD MEMBERS. GOOD MORNING. GOOD MORNING. THE WHOLE TRAIN PROGRAM IS THE PROGRAM MANAGER WITH BROWARD MPO. IS TIME OF THE YEAR TO PROCESS FORWARD [INAUDIBLE] PROCESS FOR THE BROWARD MPO.

GO FORWARD [INAUDIBLE] IS ALSO CALLED ROLL FORWARD [INAUDIBLE] AMENDMENT IS A FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE NEWLY ADOPTED TIP IN JULY YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW THE CORE PRODUCTS OF THE BROWARD MPO JUST LIKE A PIPELINE PROJECTS IN THE METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN MORE TOOLS AT MULTI-MODAL PRIORITY LIST AND THEN MORE TO THE TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT A PROGRAM FOR IMPLEMENTATION. THE OTHER CORPORATE ACTS ALSO INCLUDE UNIFY THE PLANNING WORK PROGRAM [INAUDIBLE] PLAN AND PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN. RIGHT NOW WE ARE AS A TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM. WHY IS ROLL FORWARD PART NEEDED? MARCH OR APRIL. THE BROWARD MPO RECEIVES A TIP DATABASE FROM THE [INAUDIBLE] THE DATABASE IS GENERATED FROM THE [INAUDIBLE] WORK PROGRAM FROM HERE THIS SPLITS INTO TWO PARTS. ONE PASS IN BLUE INDICATES THE BROWARD MPO USES THE DATABASE TO DEVELOP TIP AND PROCEEDS IN JULY. AND OTHER PASS INDICATES THE STATE APPROVES THE TENDENCY [INAUDIBLE] PROGRAM. ON JULY 1ST. AFTER JULY 1ST [INAUDIBLE] FOR EACH MPO. WHAT KIND OF PROJECTS ARE INCLUDED IN THE ROLL FORWARD? PROJECTS WAS SUPPOSED TO GET AUTHORIZED AND ENCUMBERED PRIOR TO JUNE 30 BUT GIVEN OUT BECAUSE OF REASONS IN ORDER TO CONTINUE RECEIVING FUNDS THOSE PRODUCTS HAVE TO BE INCLUDED IN THE NEW WORK PROGRAM AND THE NEW TIP PRODUCTS WILL AUTOMATICALLY GO FORWARD IN THE WORK PROGRAM. BUT NOT AUTOMATICALLY ROLL FORWARD IN THE TIP. AND ALSO YOU'RE ONE OF THE WORKER PROGRAM AND THAT TIP SHOULD ALWAYS MATCH. THE BROWARD MPO HAS TO AMEND THE NEW TIP TO REFLECT THOSE PRODUCTS IN THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT. SO SEPTEMBER OR EARLY OCTOBER.

THE BROWARD MPO PROCESS IS A ROLL FORWARD [INAUDIBLE] APPROVES THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT. [INAUDIBLE] INTO THE NEW TIP AND A NEW TIP COMES INTO EFFECT ON OCTOBER 1ST YEAR TO YEAR SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT IT ROLL FORWARD REPORT THIS YEAR. THERE ARE ONE HUNDRED THIRTY NINE PROJECTS WORTH OF ABOUT TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS FROM THE ROLL FORWARD. AMONG THE TWO HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.

ABOUT 230 MILLION DOLLARS [INAUDIBLE] MAKES UP ABOUT 92 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL ROLL FORWARD OF FUNDING AMOUNT. ABOUT 15 MILLION DOLLARS [INAUDIBLE] MAKES UP ABOUT 7 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL ROLL FORWARD FUNDING AMOUNT AND ABOUT 2 MILLION DOLLARS ACCOUNTS FOR ABOUT 1 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL ROLL FORWARD FUNDING AMOUNT. AND ALSO THE BROWARD MPO STAFF RECOMMEND TO REMOVE ONE PRODUCT FROM THE ROLL FORWARD A REPORT BASED ON THE BOARD ACTION OCTOBER 12 2017. THIS PROJECT IS A [INAUDIBLE] PROJECTS. IT WOULD HAVE WIDENED THE 10 PACK [INAUDIBLE] FROM ATLANTIC BOULEVARD TO [INAUDIBLE] FROM 6 MONTHS TO 10. THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT ALSO INCLUDES THE 15 PROJECTS WORTH ABOUT ONE POINT FOUR MILLION DOLLARS OVER THE BROWARD

[00:35:02]

MPO'S [INAUDIBLE]. THIS SLIDE SHOWS A LIST OF THOSE OF PRODUCTS. THE MAJORITY OF THOSE PROJECTS AS MPO'S MOBILITY PRODUCTS WITH THAT IS END OF MY PRESENTATION. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER GREEN. I PUSHED THE BUTTON BEFORE I SAW ONE OF THE SLIDES BUT I WANT TO ASK YOU IN THE ROLL FORWARD THE FUNDS YOU HAD IN THE PIE CHART WHERE TRANSIT HIGHWAY AND RAIL COULD YOU GIVE ME SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WOULD BE LISTED UNDER TRANSIT THAT WE WILL EXPECT.

THERE HAVE BEEN TRANSIT SECTION [INAUDIBLE] BASICALLY A MAJORITY OF THE TRANSIT PROJECTS THAT ARE FUNDED AND HAVE TO ROLL FORWARD BECAUSE OF THE WAY THE FEDERAL AND STATE FUNDING IS AND SO SOME OF IT IS ATTRIBUTABLE FEDERAL PASS THROUGH DOLLARS THAT GO FROM FTA THROUGH DOT TO BCT. AND THEN THERE'S SOME OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE ALSO LISTED IN THERE AS WELL. I THINK MIKE IS PULLING IT UP AS WE SPEAK. BUT IN THE ATTACHMENTS BECAUSE THIS IS A VERY LARGE DOCUMENT.

I BELIEVE WHAT THE BOARD MEMBERS ASKING IS JUST A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF LIKE.

IS IT GOING TO BUSES. IS IT GOING LIKE WHAT IS THE CHEAT SHEET VERSION OF WHAT TRANSIT. IT SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO DO CLIFF NOTES VERSION OF THAT AND WE WILL.

THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM. I'M JUST TAKING A QUICK LOOK AT IT RIGHT NOW IT LOOKS LIKE THERE'S CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS WHICH IS USUALLY FOR BUSES. LET'S SEE SECTION 53 0 9 GRANTS FOR THE LIVABILITY GRANT. THAT'S NOT THAT BIG THOUGH. YEAH. AND THIS IS BY FAR YOU KNOW TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE OUT OF THAT TOTAL. NINETY TWO PERCENT.

DON'T GET USED TO THIS IDEA OF THE TRANSIT GETTING A WHOLE BUNCH OF MONEY ALL THE TIME BECAUSE IT'S NOT. YEAH WELL. BUT IT'S THE GOOD NEWS BUT IT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE BUDGET YEARS AND THAT'S WHAT ENDS UP HAPPENING BECAUSE OF HOW THE EXPENDITURES ROLL. BUT FOR THOSE OF YOU AND ALAN HAS BEEN WHISPERING IN MY EAR OVER HERE IF YOU GO TO THE AGENDA ITEM AND AT THE BOTTOM OF THE AGENDA ITEM THERE'S THE LINK TO THE ATTACHMENT THE ATTACHMENT TAKES YOU TO THE PAGE AND THAT WILL SHOW YOU ALL THE THINGS THAT ARE ROLLING FORWARD. I MEAN BUT I WILL PROMISE IN THE FUTURE BECAUSE IT'S A GREAT QUESTION THAT WE WILL HAVE A CHEAT SHEET GUIDE TO EXACTLY WHAT PROJECTS THEY ARE SO THAT WAY IT'S QUICK FOR YOU ALL TO SAY THAT'S JUST JUST TO LET YOU KNOW WE ALSO GOT SOME PARKING RIGHT LOTS AND THERE'S SOME OTHER CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS FOR LIKE [INAUDIBLE] THOSE ARE PART OF THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT. WHAT PERCENTAGE OF THE TWO HUNDRED AND TWELVE MILLION IS FOR THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT FOR BUSES. IT DID LIKE JUST BALLPARK BECAUSE IF IT SAYS GAP IMPROVEMENTS HOW MANY MILLION.

I KNOW THEY PLACED [INAUDIBLE] HONESTLY I FEEL AWKWARD GIVING YOU THE NUMBER BECAUSE THERE'S SEVERAL LINES HERE AND I WOULD HAVE TO ADD IT ALL UP AND THEN KIND OF FIGURE IT OUT BUT WE CAN GET THAT INFORMATION FOR YOU. MR. CHAIRMAN I SUGGEST THAT THE STAFF PUT THAT TOGETHER AND THEN SEND IT OUT RIGHT AFTER THE MEETING IS OVER WITH EVERYBODY SO YOU CAN SEE THE EXACT BREAKDOWN. A LOT OF PEOPLE SHAKING THEIR HEAD DOWN THE INFORMATION SO LET'S DO THAT. I DO HAVE TWO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC THAT HAS WISHED TO SPEAK ON ITEM NUMBER ONE. THE FIRST IS MR. SADA.

THIS IS YOUR TIME TO SPEAK SAYS ITEMS 1 AND 2 JUST 2. AND OK WHAT ABOUT MR. BROWN IS IT THE SAME. OKAY GREAT. ALL RIGHT. ANYBODY ELSE FROM THE PUBLIC WISH TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM. OK. WITH THAT BEING SAID IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE WINNING A MOTION TO APPROVE. I CAN'T GET A MOTION AND A SECOND. OKAY. ALL RIGHT MR. POTTER YOU'RE RECOGNIZED. YEAH. I'M A LITTLE CONFUSED ON THE PAGE SIXTY TWO SHOWS US THE

[00:40:10]

TOTAL. I THINK THE NUMBER WAS JUST OVER A MILLION DOLLARS OF PROJECTS. AND YET THERE IS A LARGER LIST OF 64 PAGES IS A HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THESE NUMBERS NOW WHICH IS MPO ATTRIBUTABLE FUNDS INCLUDED IN THERE IS A PROJECT THAT I BELIEVE IS TOTALLY COMPLETE. YET IT SHOWS 482 WORDS FOR HIS TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR THAT PROJECT. ONLY FOUR POINT EIGHTY TWO DOLLARS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE NUMBERS AND THE PROJECTS. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TWO LISTS. THE FILLMORE AND YOU'RE I THINK YOU'RE REFERRING TO WHICH ONE. ANDREW'S EXTENSION OR THE FILLMORE OR FORTY ONE FROM HALLANDALE BEACH TO FILLMORE STREET. OKAY SO THAT VERY SMALL AMOUNT IS BASICALLY CLOSING OUT COSTS. AND THE REASON WHY IT'S LISTED WITH THE 4 IN THIS AREA IS THAT IS MPO ATTRIBUTABLE WHICH IS A MUCH SMALLER PIECE OF THE TOTAL PIE. THAT'S FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO DOLLARS TO CLOSE THAT. YES SIR. OKAY. ALL RIGHT. WELL WE'RE NOT VOTING YET. THAT'S WHY NOW KNOW WE CAN RECOGNIZE. YEAH WE HAVE THEM. UH EMOTION IN A SECOND AND WE'RE IN DISCUSSION WITH TELL. I THINK THERE WAS A JUST A GLITCH. YEAH I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN IT'S TIME. AND BY THE WAY THE FEDS LOVE OUR VOTING SYSTEM. THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WAS ACTUALLY HIDDEN THE CERTIFICATION THAT YOU'RE SATISFIED WITH THE ANSWER. YES. OKAY GREAT. ALL RIGHT. SO I DON'T SEE ANYBODY ELSE IN THE QUEUE. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND FOUR ACTION ITEM ONE DO WE STILL HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. OKAY NOW WE GOT A MOTION IN SECOND. IT'S NOW TIME TO VOTE. OKAY. IT LOOKS LIKE IT PASSES TWENTY FIVE TO ZERO. SOMEBODY SNUCK AWAY. IT LOOKS LIKE NO.

TWENTY FIVE PRESENT.. HE VOTED I BELIEVE BROWARD MPO REBECCA SCHULTZ IN THE CORNER HERE. I WASN'T ABLE TO UPDATE THE ATTENDANCE FOR TIM RYAN BEFORE WE WERE ABLE TO VOTE FOR THIS ONE. OKAY. AND THEN HE WALKED AWAY COMMISSIONER RYAN IS PRESENT. HE'S HE'S LIKE AND THEN HE WALKED AWAY. JASON YES. HE NEEDS TO VOTE THOUGH IS WHAT THE POINT IS. UNLESS HE WANTS TO BE SHOWN IS NOT AS WELL AS THE CHAIR I'M SUPPOSED TO HOLD THE VOTE. SO THAT'S ON ME. VERY DELICIOUS BAGEL. WHICH I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO MINE AS WELL. YEAH. SO WE APOLOGIZE. BOARD MEMBER RYAN WE WEREN'T ABLE TO ADD YOU TO THE QUEUE FAST ENOUGH BUT WE DID HOLD A VOTE AND THERE'S 24. SO YOU'D BE TWENTY FIFTH WOULD YOU LIKE IT FOR THE RECORD TO REFLECT YOUR VOTE FOR ACTION ITEM 1.

THIS IS FOR ITEM TWO. READY. OK WE'RE MOVING ON TO ACTION

[2. **MOTION TO APPROVE the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Four Draft Tentative Work Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 - 2025]

ITEM NUMBER TWO. MR. COUNCILLOR WILL YOU PLEASE READ THE ITEM BY TITLE.

MOTION TO APPROVE THE THREE DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT FOR DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2021 THROUGH 2025. ALL RIGHT. WE HAVE MISS [INAUDIBLE]. OH WE ARE GETTING THE DISTRICT SECRETARY O'REILLY THANK YOU IT'S REAL QUICKLY IT'S MY PLEASURE TO INTRODUCE DISTRICT SECRETARY TERRY FROM DISTRICT 4 O'REILLY AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT EVERYBODY REALIZES THIS IS NOT JIM WOLF. THANK YOU GREG. I THINK. GOOD MORNING EVERYBODY. MY NAME IS JERRY O'REILLY DISTRICT SECRETARY DISTRICT 4. HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY AGAIN AND PRESENT OUR WORK PROGRAM. LESLIE WILL STEP UP LESLIE [INAUDIBLE] STEP UP AND GO INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL WITH YOU BUT I JUST WANTED TO GIVE YOU A QUICK OVERVIEW OF HOW THINGS ARE GOING AND THE DOT SINCE I LAST STOOD HERE. SO ONE BIG CHANGE SINCE I WAS LAST HERE IS WE HAVE A NEW SECRETARY SO A NEW SECRETARY FOR THE DOT BUT AN OLD FACE. IT'S KEVIN TEBOW. HE PREVIOUSLY WORKED IN FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE AS AS A DIRECTOR THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS LEFT WENT TO THE PRIVATE SECTOR CAME BACK TO THE DOT AS ASSISTANT SECRETARY UNDER STEPHANIE KOPPLE LOOSES

[00:45:02]

WHEN SHE WAS IN TALLAHASSEE AS THE STATE SECRETARY AND HE SERVED THERE FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH HER AND THEN HE MOVED ON TO CONSULTING INDUSTRY AGAIN AND NOW HE'S BACK AT THE DOT. SO KEVIN KNOWS THE PROCESSES KNOWS THE AREA WOULD HAVE BEEN DEEPLY INVOLVED IN LOTS OF PROJECTS WAS A BIG PART OF SECURING FUNDING FOR FIVE NINETY FIVE WHEN IT WHEN IT MOVED AHEAD. SO SO IT'S GOOD TO HAVE KEVIN BACK. HE KNOWS WHAT WE'RE DOING AND HE KNOWS THINGS WE CAN DO TO IMPROVE TO TRY AND IMPROVE THE DOT IMPROVE WHAT WE'RE DELIVERING IN THE SERVICE WE'RE DELIVERING FOR MAIN AREAS HE'S CHOSEN TO FOCUS ON. SO THERE'S NOTHING REALLY SURPRISING SAFETY IMPROVING SAFETY MOBILITY. HOW DO WE MOVE PEOPLE AND GOODS MORE EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY AND NOT JUST CARS AND VEHICLES BUT PEDESTRIANS AND CYCLISTS AND A LOT OF THOSE FOLKS WHO ARE LESS PROTECTED ON OUR ROADWAYS. YOU'VE SPOKEN ABOUT A LITTLE BIT EARLIER SAME SAME IDEA A BIG FOCUS ON HOW DO WE MOVE THE NEEDLE IN SAFETY SO HOW DO WE GET SOME INCREMENTAL IMPROVEMENT IN SAFETY AND WE'RE DOING A LOT OF TALK ABOUT THAT AT THE. ANYTIME YOU TALK ABOUT SAFETY YOU CAN TALK ABOUT THE FOR EASE OF SAFETY AND I'M SURE YOU'VE HAD PRESENTATIONS ON THIS BEFORE BUT THE EASE WOULD BE ENGINEERING EDUCATION ENFORCEMENT AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE SO THE DEPARTMENT HAS A ROLE TO PLAY IN EACH OF THOSE AS DO MUNICIPALITY AS DO A LOT OF OTHER AREAS. OUR BIGGEST FOCUS TYPICALLY IS IN THE ENGINEERING SIDE OF THE BUSINESS AS WELL AS WE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCT ROADWAYS AND MAINTAIN THEM ON BRIDGES. WE ALSO HAVE A ROLE TO PLAY IN EDUCATION AND EDUCATION EDUCATING PEOPLE ABOUT ISSUES ENFORCEMENT WE DEAL WITH FAIRLY REGULARLY. BUT IT'S MORE ON THE ON THE WEATHER AGENCY SIDE AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE ISN'T JUST AN AMBULANCE A FIRE TRUCK THE POLICE RESPONDING WITH AN INCIDENT. IT'S ALSO THE COORDINATION EFFORTS OF THE STAFF WHEN THEY GET THERE A LOT OF THAT'S DONE THROUGH TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT CENTER ESPECIALLY FOR THE INTERSTATE. I THINK WHAT YOU'LL SEE IN THE DEPARTMENT OVER THE COMING YEARS IS MORE INCREASED FOCUS ON THE EDUCATION COMPONENT AND HOW WE GET OUT TO PEOPLE AND EDUCATE THEM OF WHAT THEY CAN BE DOING DIFFERENTLY TO IMPROVE SAFETY ON OUR ROADWAYS FOR EVERYBODY. YOU CAN ENGINEER ANY ROAD YOU CAN MAKE IT MEET THE STANDARDS PERFECTLY YOU CAN HAVE THE PERFECT LANGUAGE ALL THE SIGNING IS CORRECT THE STRIPING IS CORRECT BUT FOR SOME REASON PEOPLE WILL STILL RUN OFF THE ROAD RUN INTO A BARRIER WALL RUN INTO SOMEBODY ELSE. A LOT OF IT'S DISTRACTED DRIVING A LOT OF THE RUN OFF THE ROAD INCIDENTS THAT WE'RE SEEING NOWADAYS AND WE'LL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON THAT. I THINK WE'LL PUT A LOT MORE EDUCATION EFFORT IN AND YOU'LL SEE PROGRAMS START IN DOT THAT WE HAVEN'T BEEN DOING I EXPECT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF YEARS. THIS HASN'T BEEN A GREAT YEAR FOR FUNDING REALLY. THE LEGISLATURE DIDN'T TAKE ANY MONEY OFF US. THE LEGISLATURE DIDN'T GIVE US ANY MONEY FOR IT FOR OUR REGULAR WORK PROGRAM EITHER. ESTIMATES ARE UP FOR CONSTRUCTION NOT NOT CRAZY BUT ESTIMATES ARE GOING UP CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATES. ESTIMATES FOR RIGHT AWAY AND LAND ARE ALSO GOING UP SO THAT THAT PRESSURE TO HOLD THE WORK PROGRAM TOGETHER WITH INCREASED ESTIMATES IS ALWAYS THERE. OVERALL THE WAY WE BUILD OUR WORK PROGRAM IS ON REVENUE PROJECTIONS AND THOSE REVENUE PROJECTIONS ARE DONE STATEWIDE EVERY EVERY YEAR TWICE A YEAR ACTUALLY. AND THE MOST RECENT PROJECTIONS FOR TRANSPORTATION. SO THIS IS LOOKING AT THINGS LIKE GAS TAX REVENUE AND IS PROJECTED TO KEEP ON GOING AS THEY EXPECT IT TO GO UP A LITTLE BIT OR DOWN A LITTLE BIT. GAS TAX IS PROJECTED TO GO DOWN A LITTLE BIT. AND THAT'S REFLECTED IN THIS WORK PROGRAM YOU'LL SEE TODAY. THERE'S ALSO LESS RENTAL CAR SURCHARGE WHICH FORMS A FAIRLY GOOD PART OF OUR PROGRAM LESS VEHICLE REGISTRATIONS LESS PEOPLE VIA BUYING VEHICLES AND PAYING REGISTRATION TAX COMPARED TO WHAT WE THOUGHT OR AT LEAST COMPARED TO WHAT THE FORECASTERS THOUGHT. WE ALSO GET SOME SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY FOR THE PROGRAM FROM DOCUMENTARY STOP STOCK STAMPS YOU PAY FOR REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS THAT'S ACTUALLY GONE UP A LITTLE BIT. SO YOU ADD ALL THOSE TOGETHER SUBTRACT OUT THE ONES GOING DOWN THE IMPACT ON THE WORK PROGRAM AS A WHOLE SO OVER THE FIVE YEARS AROUND THE STATE IS TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE MILLION REDUCTION. SO WE BUILT THE WORK PROGRAM WITH THAT IN MIND. AND SO THAT MEANT WE DIDN'T ADD A LOT OF PROJECTS A COUPLE OF THINGS GOING ON AND AROUND THE COUNTY THAT ARE WORTH AT LEAST MENTIONING A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE INTERSTATE. SO I 95 IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION NOW RIGHT THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY PRACTICALLY. STARTING FROM THE SOUTH THE NORTH YOU KNOW WE HAVE THE EXPRESS LANES OPERATING ON 95 FROM THE

[00:50:04]

COUNTY LINE TO NORTH OF STERLING RIGHT NOW. LAST YEAR WE HIRED A CONTRACTOR 450 MILLION DOLLARS TO REBUILD OR AT LEAST ADD TO THE INTERCHANGE OF NINETY FIVE AND FIVE NINETY FIVE AND THAT PROJECT STRETCHES TO THE SOUTH DOWN TO HOLLYWOOD AND UP TO BROWARD BOULEVARD. SO THAT WILL PROVIDE RAMPS THAT WILL CONNECT DIRECTLY FROM THE MIDDLE OF FIVE NINETY FIVE TO THE MIDDLE OF I 95 AND ALSO IMPROVE AND BUILD THE EXPRESS LANES TO THAT STRETCH OF ROADWAY SUNRISE NORTH. THE COMMERCIAL HAS BEEN UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR A FEW YEARS. WE EXPECT COMPLETION IN EARLY 2021. THIS SECTION FROM OUR COMMERCIAL NORTH TO AROUND HILLSBOROUGHUGH IS COMPLETE FROM THE SANDS. THE PAVEMENT IS THERE AND YOU CAN DRIVE ON A SWING OR DRIVE AND THERE YOU HAVE THE THE BENEFIT OF THE LANES. IT'S NOT COMPLETE FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE TUBULAR [INAUDIBLE] AREN'T THERE. WHILE WE HAVE THE TOTAL ENTRIES THERE THEY'RE ALL JUST IN TESTING MODE AND ARE NOT CHARGING RIGHT NOW AND WE DON'T HAVE THE DEFINED ENTRY EXIT POINT FOR THE EXPRESS LANES THERE. AND THE REASON FOR THAT IS WE REALLY NEED TO START AS A SYSTEM FROM SUNRISE UP TO HILLSBOROUGHUGH. SO ON THAT PROJECT TO THE SOUTH FINISHES YOU'LL SEE US PUTTING THOSE ALL THOSE DELINEATED AS IN DEFINING THE ACCESS POINTS AND MOVING FORWARD THERE. THE SECTION FROM HILLSBOROUGHUGH AT THE GLADE STARTED CONSTRUCTION BACK IN JULY OF 17 IT'S MOVING AHEAD REALLY WELL ANTICIPATED TO BE COMPLETE IN THE SUMMER OF 21 AND THEN WHILE IT'S IN PALM BEACH COUNTY BUT PROBABLY OF INTEREST GLADES UP TO LINTON IS ALSO JUST STARTING CONSTRUCTION BUT IT'S JUST STARTED AND IT WILL BE COMPLETED LATE 2023 SO. SO THAT WILL GET THE ADDED LANES ALL THE WAY FROM THE COUNTY LINE RIGHT UP TO LINTON BOULEVARD WHICH WILL BE NICE TO BE DONE AND COMPLETE. SO THIS IS JUST A FEW PICTURES FROM FROM THAT COMMERCIAL TO SOUTHWEST TRANSACTION. THIS WAS WHEN IT STARTED UNDER CONSTRUCTION. ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY TWO MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT AND THEN THIS IS IT NOW. SO YOU CAN SEE THE LANES ARE COMPLETE YOU PAVEMENT ALL DOWN AND PEOPLE HAVE A CHANCE TO RIDE ON IT. ULTIMATELY WE'LL COME BACK ADD THE [INAUDIBLE] DEFINE THE ENTRY EXIT POINT THE SPACES THERE IT'S STRIPED OUT RIGHT NOW BUT AS SOON AS THE SECTION TO THE SOUTH IS FINISHED WE WILL THEN MOVE ONTO THAT. SO WE DON'T JUST WORK ON THE INTERSTATE AND YOU JUST DON'T DEVELOP PROJECTS FOR THE INTERSTATE. HERE'S AN INTERESTING ONE THAT FINISHED DURING THE YEAR THE DAVEY PARK AND RIDE LOT AND YOU MAY REMEMBER THIS CAME ABOUT BECAUSE WE'D BUILT THE PARK AND RIDE LOT BUT IT WAS TREMENDOUSLY SUCCESSFUL IT SURGED BY BCT ROUTE 114 WHICH IS THE SUNRISE TO THE MIAMI CIVIC CENTER THE EXPRESS BUS. SO BEFORE WE STARTED WHAT YOU'RE SEEING IN THAT LEFT HAND PICTURE WAS HAPPENING REGULARLY WITH CARS JUST PARKED WHEREVER THEY COULD PARK LIKELY ILLEGALLY. WE WERE WE HAD ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE SPACES IN THAT LOT. WE WERE REGULARLY COUNTING AND THE REASON OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY SO. SO THAT'S WHY EVERYBODY SAID WE NEED TO IMPROVE THIS RELAY IT OUT FIND A BETTER WAY TO INCREASE THE SPACES. SO WHILE WE DIDN'T BUY ANY PROPERTY WE WERE ABLE TO INCREASE THE SPACES TO TWO HUNDRED AND SIX AN EXTRA HUNDRED AND ONE SPACES. THE COUNTS ARE STILL AROUND 150 HUNDRED AND FIFTY FIVE. WE WERE ABLE TO ADD THOSE ADD DETECTORS AND THEN YOU SEE THE SIGNS AND EIGHTY FOUR I'LL TELL YOU HOW MANY SPACES ARE AVAILABLE AND THAT AND THAT'S JUST USING YOUR TECHNOLOGY THAT'S AVAILABLE THAT YOU'LL SEE US USE ON TRUCK STOPS. WE HAVE SIMILAR TYPE THINGS FOR TRUCKERS NO ONE HAS A PLACE AVAILABLE BUT IT'S VERY USEFUL FOR PARK AND RIDE LOTS TO SO. SO USERS CAN SEE THAT. BUT VERY SUCCESSFUL UP IN WELL USED. AND HERE IT IS FINISHED. SO SO YOU CAN SEE LOTS OF CARS IN THERE THE DAY IT OPENED REALLY IT WAS EVERYBODY BACK IN IT WHO WAS ALWAYS IN IT AND ROOM FOR A LITTLE EXPANSION TOO WHICH IS GREAT. SO THE MPO CONTINUES TO PUT A FOCUS ON ON THE COMPLETE STREETS PROJECTS AS GREG MENTIONED THEY COME IN MANY FORMS AND THIS PARTICULAR ONE WAS DONE AS A LOCAL AGENCY PROGRAM I THINK IN THE CITY OF SUNRISE FINISHED IN JUNE OF NINETEEN TWO MILLION ONE POINT SEVEN MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT. AND THEN WHAT YOU SAW BEFORE ON THAT TOP LEFT PICTURE A LITTLE BIT DURING CONSTRUCTION AND THEN WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE NOW. SO THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT DID ACTUALLY HAVE A LANE REMOVED BUT THAT ALLOWED THIS BIKE LANE PEOPLE TO PUT INTO A BUFFER BIKE LANE AND A LOT OF ENHANCEMENT. SO REALLY TURNED OUT NICE. I USUALLY GIVE YOU A NUMBER SO I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU AGAIN THIS YEAR AND THIS PROGRAM

[00:55:01]

YOU'LL SEE THAT YOU FOCUSED ONE HUNDRED AND NINETY MILLION DOLLARS ON SIDEWALK AND BIKE IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS THAT ARE EXCLUSIVELY FOR THAT. NOW THAT DOES NOT TO SAY EVERY OTHER PROJECT IN THE WORK PROGRAM DOESN'T INCLUDE BIKE LANE IMPROVEMENTS ON SIDEWALKS A GOOD EXAMPLE IS YOUR PROJECT ON LOCKS ARE PATCHY ROAD UP AND AND THE PARK LAND AREA WHERE THAT'S A MAJOR PROJECT. A LOT OF MONEY ASSOCIATED WITH IT. SO IT'S CATEGORY ISN'T SIDEWALK AND BIKE EVEN THOUGH THAT'S ONE OF THE MAIN FOCUSES. IT'S JUST HOW WE COUNT THE MONEY. AND THEN OUR BIG PROJECT THAT'S UPCOMING IN THE WORK PROGRAM IS SOUTHWEST 10 ST CONNECTOR. SO I THINK WE LAST PRESENTED ON THIS BACK IN JULY. THE PUBLIC HEARING IS SCHEDULED FOR OCTOBER 29TH THE DOUBLETREE AND HILTON. WE STARTED THIS STUDY. I THINK WE KICKED OFF ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO OR JUST OVER TWO YEARS AGO. THE PROJECT IF YOU REMEMBER WAS IN I THINK THE FUNDING WAS IN 24 25 FOR MONEY THAT WAS WHERE I FIRST GOT PUT. THEN WE ANNOUNCED WE ADVANCED IT BECAUSE THERE WAS AN INFLUX OF MONEY. THEN WE ANNOUNCED THAT THE WORK PROGRAM LAST YEAR WAS WE DIDN'T GET THE MONEY. IT GOT MOVED BACK OUT AGAIN TO 20. IT WAS SPLIT IN TWO PROJECTS FISCAL YEAR 24 AND 25. AND NOW THE WORK PROGRAM YOU HAVE HAS SHOWS THIS BEING MOVED BACK INTO 23 FISCAL YEAR 23 WHICH IS IT WHICH IS GOOD. THE CONSTRUCTION IS SOMEWHERE IN THE REGION OF SIX HUNDRED AND SIX HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION IS THE ESTIMATE SALTS. SO IT'S A LOT OF MONEY PLUS THERE'S A LOT OF UTILITY RELOCATION ON AND WE WERE ABLE TO WORK OUT THAT ALL PUBLIC UTILITIES IN THE CORRIDOR WILL BE PAID FOR AND ADD TO THE PROJECTS. SO. SO THERE'S NO NO IMPACT ON THE PUBLIC AGENCIES WHO HAVE UTILITIES THERE WHICH IS GOOD. YOU KNOW A LOT OF PUBLIC INPUT ON THIS PROJECT YOU'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT IT OVER THE YEARS WE'VE WE'VE HAD MANY MANY MEETINGS. SO WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO SEE WHEN THIS IS BUILT AND OPENED IS THAT IT'LL BE CALLED A MANAGED LANE SO. SO LET ME EXPLAIN WHAT A MANAGED LANE MEANS. IT'S A LANE THAT'S CONSTRUCTED THAT YOU CAN USE TECHNIQUES TO MANAGE THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC IN IT. SO ON I 95 IN BROWARD AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY WHERE WE KNOW THE ROAD IS OVER CAPACITY AND ARE DOING OUR BEST JUST TO KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING WE KNOW THAT THE RIGHT TECHNIQUE THERE NOW IS WE'RE CHARGING TOLL A LOT OF IT'S JUST A 50 CENT STALL IN BROWARD BUT IN MIAMI THAT INCREASES AS THE FLOW INCREASES AND THEY HAVE ONE LAST LANE ON THE INTERSTATE DOWN THERE WHICH IS PROBABLY THEIR BIGGEST ISSUE. OTHER TECHNIQUES TO MANAGE TRAFFIC IS YOU COULD RESTRICT TRUCKS SO NO TRUCKS WILL BE MANAGEMENT OR YOU COULD SAY ONLY TRUCKS THAT WOULD BE MANAGEMENT THINGS YOU MIGHT SEE IN THE FUTURE AS AS AS AUTOMATED VEHICLES COME ABOUT MAYBE OF THE LANE AND IT'S ONLY AUTOMATED VEHICLES OR MAYBE YOU HAVE A LANE AND IT'S ONLY VEHICLES THAT AREN'T AUTOMATED YOU KNOW SOME SITES THAT WILL FLIP. SO WE PROTECT THE ABILITY TO DO THAT. BUT HOWEVER ON SOUTHWEST TENTH STREET. SO FOR THE PURPOSES OF OUR STUDY IT'S CALLED A MANAGE LANE. WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE OPEN IT NOW THERE WON'T BE ANY TOLL CHARGED AND IT WILL ALLOW TRUCKS IN. SO WE'LL OPERATE AS A NORMAL LANE AND JUST LIKE YOU WOULD DRIVE ON NOW ON THE INTERSTATE. BUT IT WILL BE FOR THE PURPOSES OF STUDY IT'S CALLED MANAGED SO THAT WE HAVE THE FLEXIBILITY IN THE NEXT 10 YEARS 20 YEARS WHENEVER WE WOULD WANT TO COME BACK AND SAY WHAT'S THE RIGHT WAY TO CONTROL THIS. WE CAN IF THAT EVER HAPPENS WE'D BE BACK TALKING TO YOU GUYS HAVING PUBLIC MEETINGS AND DISCUSSING IT. SO WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN NOW. WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARING AND WE PRESENT THE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE. WE GET ALL THAT INPUT AND THEN A FINAL DECISION IS MADE AND THEN WE DON'T ACTUALLY GET A CONTRACTOR ON BOARD FOR ANOTHER TWO AND A HALF TO TWO YEARS THE MONEY IS IN FISCAL YEAR 20 THREE. SO THE EARLIEST THAT WE COULD HAVE A CONTRACTOR AND HIRE THEM IS IS AROUND JULY OF 22. SO THAT'S TWO AND A HALF YEARS AWAY. WE WILL SPEND THIS PERIOD AFTER THE PUBLIC HEARING WHEN THE DECISION IS MADE WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS WE'LL PROBABLY BACK AT THE NPL PRESENTING ON THAT. TIE AND DOWN THE ACTUAL DESIGN. SO WE'VE BEEN STUDYING THE WHOLE CADRE BUT THERE'S A LOT OF DETAILS THAT WE DON'T GET INTO DURING THE PROJECT DEVELOPMENT PHASE THAT WE WILL GET INTO THE BIG DETAILS AND INTERACT WITH THE PUBLIC INTERACT WITH ALL THE STAKEHOLDERS TO TIE THOSE DOWN IN THE DOCUMENTS THAT CONTROL THE CONTRACTOR [INAUDIBLE] OR THE RFP FOR FOR THE FOR THE PROJECT. SO YOU YOU'LL SEE THAT HAPPENING TRUE OUT THE NEXT TWO YEARS OR SO. AND THEN I'M GOING TO TURN IT OVER TO LESLIE WHO WILL GET INTO A LITTLE BIT MORE DETAIL OF THE PROJECTS YOU'VE SEEN ARE THE PROJECTS THAT ARE IN THE PROGRAM AND THE DOCUMENTS IN FRONT OF YOU. AND THEN I'M HERE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS I SHOULD SAY THAT WE HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE HERE. IT'S PROBABLY WORTH MENTIONING THEM SO

[01:00:06]

THAT THE MAIN PEOPLE THAT RUN THE DISTRICT IS MYSELF I TRIED TO STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY BUT I'VE GOT TWO DIRECTORS HOWARD WEBB CONTROLS EVERYTHING CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE TRAFFIC OPERATIONS AND THEN EVERYTHING PRE CONSTRUCTION SO PLANNING OUR PROJECT DEVELOPMENT ACQUIRING RIGHT AWAY AND DESIGN PLANS. STEVE. RON AND THEN WE STAND UP TO THE PEOPLE JUST SO THEY KNOW THAT THE AUDIENCE ISN'T AS BIG AS THEY THOUGHT. BUT LESLIE NEEDS TO BE YOUR BEST FRIEND BECAUSE SHE CONTROLS THE MONEY SO SHE WILL COME AND TALK A LITTLE. LESLIE GOOD MORNING. THANK YOU SECRETARY O'REILLY. LESLIE WEATHERALL DISTRICT 4 PROGRAM MANAGEMENT ADMINISTRATOR. HAPPY TO BE HERE WITH YOU TODAY. SECRETARY O'REILLY DID A GREAT JOB OF KIND OF GIVEN AN OVERVIEW OF WHERE WE ARE. AND WITH THAT I'M JUST GOING TO JUMP RIGHT INTO THE VERY VERY VERY BUSY MAP THAT YOU SEE THERE. WE DECIDED TO DO THIS MAP THIS YEAR TO SHOW YOU ALL PICTURES REALLY VISUALLY OF WHERE ALL THE MONEY IS GOING. HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY LOTS OF DIFFERENT THINGS ON THE MAP THERE BUT JUST KIND OF WANTED TO COUCH IT FROM SOME GENERAL TERMS FOR YOU. SO A LOT OF THE ORANGE THAT YOU SEE ON THE MAP IS RESURFACING PROJECTS RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS THINGS OF THAT NATURE. A LOT OF THE STUFF YOU SEE IN GREEN ARE CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS OR STUDIES THAT ARE GOING TO EVENTUALLY LEAD TO A CAPACITY IMPROVEMENT. AND OF COURSE MOST OF THOSE CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS YOU ALL PRIORITIZE HERE AT THE MPO AND THEN COLLABORATE WITH THE DEPARTMENT TO ULTIMATELY PUT INTO PRODUCTION AND THEN CONSTRUCTION. A LOT OF THE YELLOW THAT YOU SEE ON THE MAP ARE A LOT OF STUDIES THAT ARE ACTIVELY UNDERWAY FOR EXAMPLE ON THE BOTTOM LEFT OF THE MAP. YOU'LL SEE SOME YELLOW THERE THAT TIES INTO U.S. 27. OF COURSE THAT'S A CAPACITY PROJECT THAT WE'RE STUDYING TO WIDEN THAT LAST SECTION OF PINES THAT WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS WITH THE MPO AND THE LOCAL MUNICIPALITIES. AND THEN WE'VE GOT A LOT OF STUFF THERE OF COURSE ON THE UNIVERSITY CORRIDOR. WE'VE GOT ALL OF THE CONTINUE TO DO ALL OF THE TRANSIT CORRIDOR STUDIES AND THE PROJECTS THAT CONTINUE TO COME OUT OF NOT ONLY THAT STUDY BUT THE STATE ROAD SEVEN STUDIES ET CETERA. THE BLUE ON THE MAP IS PROBABLY THE PART THAT IS NEAR AND DEAR TO THE EMPEROR'S HEART ESPECIALLY IS BECAUSE MOST OF THE BLUE THAT YOU SEE THERE COMES OUT OF YOUR COMPLETE STREETS.

LOCALIZED INITIATIVES PROGRAM AND IN THE FUTURE WILL BE YOUR. DID I GET THAT WRONG? STREETS LOCALIZED INITIATIVE PROGRAM AND THEN YOUR NEW PROGRAM WHICH IS YOUR COMPLETE STREETS MASTERPLAN. SO WHILE THOSE PROJECTS DON'T YET SHOW UP ON THE MAP I CAN TELL YOU THAT WE WERE ABLE TO PROGRAM A FEASIBILITY STUDY THIS YEAR BASED UPON THIS NEW PROGRAM THAT WAS ADDED INTO THE MPO SHOWS LIST OF PRIORITY PROJECTS TO MOVE FORWARD. THOSE PROJECTS ULTIMATELY THAT ARE NOW COMING OUT OF THAT PROGRAM THAT YOU ALL HAVE CREATED HERE AT THE MPO. SO AGAIN ALL THE BLUE THAT YOU SEE THERE ON THE MAP ARE A LOT OF THOSE COMPLETE STREETS LOCALIZED INITIATIVE PROGRAMS AND OF COURSE SECRETARY O'REILLY SPOKE TO THOSE NUMBERS BIKE EXCUSE ME BIKE LANE SIDEWALK PROJECTS AND HE ALSO SHARED OF COURSE THAT JUST BECAUSE IT'S NOT A BIKE LANE SIDEWALK PROJECT PROPER DOESN'T MEAN WE'RE NOT DOING THAT IN ALL THE OTHER PROJECTS THAT WE DO LIKE THE RESURFACING JOBS IN THE CAPACITY JOBS THAT YOU ALSO SEE THERE UP ON THE LIST. AND THAT IS THE MAP WE HAVE IN THE PRESENTATION. RIGHT. IT IS A VISUAL REPRESENTATION OF THE CITIZENS PLAN THAT WE PROVIDED FOR YOU JUST TO SHOW THIS I WANT TO GIVE KUDOS TO DOT FOR PUTTING THIS TOGETHER THEY'VE DONE THIS SO IN THE FUTURE WE'LL WORK WITH THEM TO COME UP WITH CLEARER MAPS JUST LIKE THE ROLL FORWARD REPORT THE FIRST TIME WE'VE EVER DONE THAT TYPE OF REPORT. WE'LL WORK WITH LESLIE AND THE TEAM OUR PARTNERS AT DOT TO MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A CLEANER MAP BUT THERE IS WAYS TO EXPLAIN THIS VISUALLY AND I'D LIKE TO BREAK IT DOWN BY LOCAL GOVERNMENT AND BY COMMISSION COUNTY COMMISSIONER DISTRICT SO THERE'S A WAY TO SEE IT. THANK YOU FOR THE FEEDBACK. WE'LL WORK ON THAT FOR THE FUTURE. ONE OF THE THINGS I DID WANT TO POINT OUT WAS WHEN WE DID COME TO THE TAC MEETING A WEEK OR TWO AGO WE DIDN'T YET HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION FROM CENTRAL OFFICE ON SOME OF OUR SOURCE PROJECTS AND THERE WERE SOME ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE REFLECTED IN THE PACKAGE THAT YOU RECEIVED. THEY JUST NEED TO QUICKLY GO OVER. THERE WERE A COUPLE OF PROJECTS THAT WERE DEFERRED WITHIN THE WORK PROGRAM. SO THEY'RE STILL IN THE WORK PROGRAM THEY'RE JUST IN A DIFFERENT YEAR. AND WE HAD THAT. AND THESE ARE ALL INTERSTATE RELATED PROJECTS. SO NINETY FIVE AT SUNRISE BOULEVARD AND I 75 AT ROYAL PALM. IN ADDITION WE HAD SOME MOTEL PROJECTS AT THE AIRPORT. THAT SHIFTED WITHIN THE PROGRAM AS WELL. AND THEN WE HAD A NUMBER OF OTHER

[01:05:04]

INTERSTATE PROJECTS WE HAD I 75 AT PINES I 95 AT DAVEY I 95 AT SHERIDAN AND THEN I 95 AT BROWARD. THOSE PROJECTS WE WERE EXPECTING TO COME INTO THE NEW FIFTH YEAR AND UNFORTUNATELY WE WEREN'T ABLE TO SUPPORT THOSE WITH A LOT OF THE REVENUE REDUCTIONS THAT SECRETARY O'REILLY SPOKE TO SAID YOU JUST WANT TO PROVIDE THAT CLARIFICATION TO THE INFORMATION THAT YOU HAVE THERE. AND WHILE THE CONSTRUCTION MAY HAVE BEEN MOVED OUT WE'RE STILL WORKING ON THE DESIGN AND APPLICABLE RIGHT AWAY PHASES AS NECESSARY SO THAT IF FUNDING DOES BECOME AVAILABLE EARLIER WE'RE READY TO GO AND CAPTURE THAT FUNDING RESOURCE EARLY IF AGAIN IT DOES BECOME AVAILABLE EARLIER FROM CENTRAL OFFICE. AND OF COURSE SECRETARY O'REILLY MENTIONED THAT SOUTHWEST 10 IS IN FISCAL YEAR 23. THAT IS A CHANGE FROM THE DOCUMENTATION THAT YOU HAVE AS WELL AND YOUR DOCUMENTATION IT SHOWS IN AN OUTER YEAR WE'RE ABLE TO ADVANCE THAT TO FISCAL YEAR 23. I ALSO WANTED TO SHOW THIS MAP TO BE ABLE TO SHOW YOU ALL THAT WE DO ALSO PARTNER WITH THE RAIL ENTITIES THE AIRPORTS AND THE SEAPORT TO PROVIDE THEM FUNDING AS WELL TO JUST HIGHLIGHT THAT SO THAT WE COULD KIND OF SEPARATE IT FROM KIND OF THE HIGHWAY BICYCLE PEDESTRIAN MODES AND SHOW YOU THAT WE'RE A MULTI-MODAL AGENCY AND WE CONTINUE TO PARTNER WITH THOSE ENTITIES AS WELL SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD ALL OF OUR MODES OF TRANSPORTATION HERE IN BROWARD COUNTY AND OF COURSE SOME PICTURES OF OUR MOTOR PARTNERS. WE DO CONTINUE TO SUPPORT [INAUDIBLE].

WE PROVIDE APPROXIMATELY 50 MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR ANNUALLY TO SUPPORT THE OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF TRIAL WHICH OF COURSE IS ANOTHER AND ANOTHER MODE OF TRANSPORTATION TO SUPPORT OUR NEEDS HERE IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA REGION AND THAT WAS ALL I HAD AND I'M HAPPY TO ENTERTAIN ANY QUESTIONS AND OF COURSE SECRETARY O'RIELLY IS HERE AS WELL. WE ARE OF COURSE LOOKING FOR AN ENDORSEMENT TODAY OF THE DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM FISCAL YEAR 21-25. OK. THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO THE WAY THAT I'M GOING TO RUN THIS IS WE'RE GOING. I'M GOING TO CALL ON MEMBERS OF THE BOARD AND THEN I'M GOING TO DO THE PUBLIC RECOGNIZE THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH AND THEN CALL ON THE REPRESENTATIVE FOR DEERFIELD BEACH AND THEN RETURN BACK TO THE BOARD MEMBERS. IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS FOLLOWING THAT. SO FIRST UP IS VICE CHAIR ORTIZ. THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN. I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE SECRETARY O'REILLY. HE'S LOST AS MUCH WEIGHT AS I DID. BUT YOU LOOK GOOD. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND LET ME ALSO SAY FOR THE RECORD SECRETARY O'REILLY O'REILLY HAS ALWAYS BEEN VERY VERY HELPFUL TO ALL THE CITIES PARTICULARLY PEMBROKE PINES WHEN WE HAD A 75 AND PINES BOULEVARD WITH THE NEW SHOPPING CENTERS. HE WAS ALWAYS VERY VERY HELPFUL ALONG WITH STACY AND THE REST OF THAT CREW TO HELP US OUT. AND I APPRECIATE THAT. COUPLE OF THINGS I DON'T LIKE. I 75 AND PINES BOULEVARD IS A NIGHTMARE. EVERY DAY THERE'S AN ACCIDENT. EVERY DAY IT SEEMS AND PINES INVESTIGATES IT VSO INVESTIGATES IT. FDOT INVESTIGATES IT. WHILE I APPRECIATE THE STUDY WE NEED TO GET THE MONEY THERE TO FIX THIS. IT'S A MAJOR MAJOR INTERSECTION. I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT TO YOU. SO PLEASE LET'S GET THAT WHATEVER WE HAVE TO DO TO GET THAT FUNDING. AND THE OTHER PART IS IN A CONVERSATION WITH YOU ABOUT SOUTHWEST 10 STREET PRIOR TO THE MEETING. THERE IS SOME CONFUSION AGAIN ABOUT THIS MANAGEABLE LANES. SO I WANT YOU. I KNOW OTHER PEOPLE ARE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT BUT I KNOW YOU EXPLAINED A LITTLE BIT. BUT BEFORE WE COULD VOTE ON THIS TO GO FORWARD WE NEED TO HAVE A COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF IT. SO IT'S JUST MY OPINION. MR. CHAIRMAN. OK.

THANK YOU SIR. BOARD MEMBER SIMMONS THIS IS NOT REALLY A QUESTION BUT I GUESS MORE OF A STATEMENT. THIS IS MY SECOND MEETING AND I WOULD SAY MAYBE MY FIRST AND A HALF MEETING SINCE I DID LEAVE EARLY LAST MEETING BUT WHEN I WAS RUNNING FOR OFFICE I RECENTLY GOT ELECTED WITHIN MY FIRST YEAR. ONE OF THE THINGS I'VE TALKED A LOT ABOUT WAS TRANSPORTATION. AND AS I STUDIED PAST DOCUMENTS AND OUT OF ALL THE THE MAPS AND STUFF THAT I HAVE SEEN THROUGHOUT ALL OF THIS A LOT OF IT IS OUT EAST AND THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. WE LOVE THE EASTERN CITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY BUT WE GOT TO GET SOME LOVE OUT WEST. I MEAN MY CITY ALONE I KNOW SAYS WE HAVE EVERYTHING UNDER THE SUN BUT ATTENTION TOWARDS OUR TRANSPORTATION. AND IT'S A FULLY BUILT OUT CITY. WE'RE GETTING MORE AND MORE CONGESTED EVERY SINGLE DAY. AND WHEN WE DO SEE THESE MAPS A LOT OF THE STUFF IS TAKING PLACE OUT EAST. AND I AND THERE ARE A LOT OF THERE ARE A LOT OF YOU KNOW OUR MEDIAN AGE IS 30 35 36. AND WE'RE TRYING TO BRING EVERYBODY BACK FROM THEIR COLLEGES AND TO COME WORK IN OUR CITY. HOWEVER A LOT OF THE TIMES IS THERE'S NO THERE'S VERY THERE'S VERY UNDERUTILIZED CONNECTIVITY TO FORT LAUDERDALE TO OUT

[01:10:05]

EAST AND STUFF LIKE THAT. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE CHOOSING NOT TO NECESSARILY LIVE OUT WEST. SO I JUST WANT US TO REALLY MAKE SURE THAT GOING FORWARD I DON'T REALLY I CAN'T SAY I DON'T CARE WHAT'S HAPPENED IN THE PAST BECAUSE I WAS I SHOULD CARE BUT THAT I'M HERE NOW I'M GOING TO MAKE SURE I ALWAYS KNOW EVERYONE UP HERE ABOUT MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE CITIES OUT WEST.

SO THAT'S IT. YES. MR. O'REILLY WE HAVE A RESPONSE. JUST A QUICK COMMENT ON THAT ISSUE BECAUSE I I'M IN THAT GENERAL AREA AS WELL SO. QUICK REMINDER WE'RE JUST PRESENTING THE DOT'S WORK AND OBVIOUSLY WHAT YOU PRIORITIZED BUT ON THIS MAP YOU'LL SEE EVERY ROLE THE DOT IS GOING TO RESURFACE AS WELL IN CORAL SPRINGS AND THROUGHOUT MOST OF THE COUNTY EXCEPT MAYBE DOWN IN PEMBROKE PINES ALL THE STATE ROADS STOP AT PRETTY MUCH UNIVERSITY DRIVE SO YOU DON'T SEE ANYTHING THAT WE'RE WORKING ON A STATE ROAD THAT'S COULD BE A SAFETY PROJECT. IT COULD BE RESURFACING PROJECT THOSE TYPE OF IMPROVEMENTS ANYWHERE WEST OF 75 BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT STATE ROADS AND THAT'S SOMETHING I'VE SPOKEN TO THE COUNTY ABOUT. I KNOW THERE'S SOME COUNTY BOARD MEMBERS HERE I'VE TALKED ABOUT YOU KNOW THERE'S OTHER ROADS THAT MAYBE OUR LESS TRAFFICKED AND UNLESS LESS OF A STATEWIDE REGIONAL FOCUS ON COUNTY BY FOCUS THAN ALL THE CONNECTORS THAT ARE STATE ROADS OUT SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE AS WE MANAGE TRAFFIC AND MANAGE THE MOVEMENT OF PEOPLE AND USE THE TOOLS WE HAVE. YOU WANT TO CONNECT ALL THE ROUTES SO WHETHER THAT'S TRUE INTELLIGENT TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND THINGS BUT WE HAVE TALKED WE DIDN'T GET VERY FAR. A LITTLE BIT ABOUT SWAPPING ROADS SO THAT WE WOULD CONNECT TO THE SAWGRASS AND ALL THE YOU KNOW ON ATLANTIC ON SUNRISE ON COMMERCIAL ALL THOSE ROADS YOU GO UP TO SAMPLE THAT TYPE OF THING AND IN RETURN THEN TO BE A SET OF ROADS WE WOULD GIVE BACK TO THE COUNTY. BUT BUT WE CAN TALK ABOUT THAT AGAIN BUT THAT'S PROBABLY WHY YOU'RE SEEING A LACK OF LOVE AT WEST TO UNIVERSITY. ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU BOARD MEMBER. THANK YOU. YOU HAD THE PICTURES OF 64 ON THERE WITH RIGHT NEAR MY HOUSE AND IN MY CITY. IT WAS A GREAT PROJECT AND IT GREATLY IMPROVED THE NEIGHBORHOOD RESIDENTS THERE ARE VERY HAPPY. YOU GOT IT DONE REALLY ON TIME BASICALLY WAS ALL REALLY GOOD AND YOU JUST TURNED THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD AROUND AS FAR AS THE WAY IT LOOKS SO JUST A GREAT PROJECT I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THAT. THE OTHER THING IS IT'S A STRANGE THAT LESLIE MENTIONED THAT YOU GUYS FUND [INAUDIBLE] FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE. AND I WAS COMING THIS MORNING. I WAS THE FIRST CAR CAUGHT THE TRAIN AND A [INAUDIBLE] PASS BY ME. SO I KNOW YOU KNOW WHO IS ACTUALLY MAINTAINING THEM BUT THAT TRAIN WAS DIRTY DISGUSTING. THE PRINTING ON THE WAS JUST FADED SO PERHAPS YOU COULD TALK TO THEM SINCE YOU'RE FUNDING THEM ABOUT CLEANING THOSE TRAINS UP I'M SURE IT DOES GO THROUGH MY CITY ABOUT MAYBE YOU KNOW CITIES HAVE TO LOOK AT IT EVERY DAY LIKE OAKLAND PARK AND SUCH. IT'S JUST A BAD REPRESENTATION OF WHAT TRIBAL SHOULD BE.

IN MY OPINION. YES SIR PLEASE. I CAN DO MORE THAN [INAUDIBLE] I SIT ON THE BOARD. 50 MILLION GETS YOU A SEAT AT THE TABLE.

BUT I'LL BRING THAT BACK AND I'LL TALK TO THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR ABOUT THAT. YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT THE OUTSIDE OF THE TRAINS. WE JUST STARTED DISCUSSING FADED AND [INAUDIBLE] OVERSIGHT. I MEAN THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE NEW EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR RIDES THE TRI RAIL TRAINS HIMSELF REGULARLY MOST DAYS. SO. SO I THINK IT'D BE VERY EASY TO GET THAT ADDRESS. APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.

I WANT TO USE CHURCH PRIVILEGE TO GO AHEAD AND RECOGNIZE THE SFRTA MEMBER HERE NEXT BOARD MEMBER RYAN THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN. IT'S NICE TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

SECRETARY O'REILLY AND PART OF WHAT WE'RE DOING OVER AT SFRTA RIGHT NOW IS WE ARE ENGAGED IN A BUSINESS EFFICIENCY ANALYSIS OF HOW WE COULD DO SOME COST CUTTING MEASURES AND ALSO HOW WE CAN BETTER MANAGE YOUR ORGANIZATION. I KNOW THAT YOUR INPUT HAS BEEN VERY IMPORTANT. WE HAVE COMMISSIONED A STUDY AND IT ENDED UP GOING TO I THINK ACOM THAT IS DOING THE STUDY AND WE'RE AWAITING THE RESULTS. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE SEEN ANY OF THE RESULTS BUT. AS CHAIR OF THE SFRTA'S BOARD I HAVE NOT SEEN ANY OF THEM. PART OF I THINK WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO WITH OUR EFFICIENCIES IS UP SO MUCH BETWEEN 80 90 PERCENT OF OUR BUDGET IS CONTRACTED OUT OUTSOURCED TO THE VARIOUS VENDORS FOR OPERATION MAINTENANCE. BOTH OF THE RAIL LINES AND OF THE CARRIAGES. SO WHAT COMMISSIONER SCHOFIELD BROUGHT UP IS ONE OF MANY

[01:15:05]

ASPECTS THAT WE ARE DISCUSSING WHERE OUR FOCUS IS MAINLY BEEN ON ACTUALLY THE CLEANLINESS OF THE INSIDE OF THE CARRIAGES MORE THAN THE OUTSIDE. BUT I HOPE THAT YOU WILL BRING THIS UP AND WE'LL SEE WHAT KIND OF RESPONSE AND IF YOU CAN ASK THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO HAVE THAT VENDOR THAT'S IN THAT'S RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT ASPECT OF OF OUR MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION CONTRACT TO BE THERE. I'D APPRECIATE IT.

THE QUESTION I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU ACTUALLY HAD TO DO WITH YOUR DISCUSSION AND JUST YOU PASSED OVER IT VERY BRIEFLY. AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. I LOOKED AT A STUDY THAT WAS DONE BY A BUSINESS EVALUATION COMPANY BCG BOSTON CONSULTING GROUP AND IT LOOKED AT THE BOSTON AREA AND HOW AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES MIGHT BE INTEGRATED INTO THAT METROPOLITAN AREA. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU OR ANY OF YOUR STAFF HAVE SEEN THAT STUDY BUT IT REALLY HAD A LOT OF VARIABLES DEALING WITH DEMOGRAPHICS DEALING WITH THE LAYOUT OF THE ROADS WHETHER IT WAS MORE OF A METROPOLITAN OR SUBURBAN AREA AND HOW YOU WOULD BEST ACHIEVE AN INTEGRATION OF AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES WITH THE EXISTING AND EXPANDED MASS TRANSIT SYSTEM. I'M GOING TO SUGGEST THAT IN YOUR FIVE YEAR WORK PLAN THAT PERHAPS YOU MAY COMMISSION A SIMILAR STUDY DOWN HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. WOULD THAT BE SOMETHING THAT WOULD COME UNDER THE AUSPICES OF DISTRICT 4 FDOT OR WOULD THAT BE MPO OR [INAUDIBLE]. HOW DO YOU FORESEE THAT STUDY BEING CONDUCTED AND YOU KNOW ESTABLISHING THE PARAMETERS FOR THE STUDY ASSAULT ANSWER JUST THAT QUESTION. IT COULD BE EITHER ARE BUT IT COULD DEFINITELY BE THE DOT TEAM. SO THE STATE OF FLORIDA WANTS TO BE ON THE CUTTING EDGE FOR AUTOMATED VEHICLES CONNECTED VEHICLES. WE HAVE SOME OF THE BEST LEGISLATION AND MOST ADVANCED LEGISLATION IN THE COUNTRY FOR TO ALLOW IT. WE'VE PUT A HUGE INVESTMENTS ALONG WITH FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE INTO A TEST TRACK. I'LL OPEN THE I FORGET THE EXACT NAME OF LOCATION OVER NOW. YES TURNPIKE HERE. AUBURN NOW AND THAT SO PEOPLE CAN TEST VEHICLES IN THAT AREA. THE DEPARTMENT WE IDENTIFIED IN OUR WORK PROGRAM WITH STATE FUNDS HAVE TO START SETTING ASIDE 20 MILLION A YEAR FOR THE TYPE OF STUDIES YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. SO THERE IS MONEY AVAILABLE. I COULD GO AFTER TO TRY AND FUNDS SOMETHING LIKE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. THE FIRST ONE YOU'RE GONNA SEE IN OUR REGION THAT WE'RE DOING IS AS A PROJECT IS IN ACTUALLY IN THE IN THE PALM BEACH AREA. AND IF YOU'RE FAMILIAR WITH PALM BEACH STATE ROAD 710 KIND OF GOES ON THE DIAGONAL FROM THE PORT DOWNTOWN RIGHT OUT TO THE TO THE GLADES AREA. THAT'S A HEAVY TRUCK CROWD. SO SO WE'RE LOOKING TO COOPERATE WITH THE TRUCKERS PUT DEVICES ON THE ROADWAY SO THE TRUCKERS KNOW WHAT'S THE CONGESTION LIKE WHEN IS THERE A SIGNAL COMING UP WHAT COLOR MIGHT IT BE. AND TRY AND AUTOMATE BETWEEN THE TRUCKERS AND THEY WOULD KNOW WHAT'S HAPPENING ON THE ROADWAY. THAT'S JUST ONE PROJECT THAT WE'RE DOING OF MANY AROUND THE STATE AND DIFFERENT TRIALS OF THINGS BUT. BUT TO GET BACK TO YOUR ORIGINAL QUESTION THE RIGHT PLACE TO DO A STUDY YOU COULD DEFINITELY COME FROM OUR MONEY BUT WE WOULD WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH CRAIG AND THE STAFF ON DOING THAT FOR THE DOT IT'S VERY DIFFICULT SO IT'S VERY MUCH LIKE IF YOU REMEMBER AND I'M DEFINITELY DATING MYSELF BUT A VHS AND BETAMAX AND [INAUDIBLE].

THE PEOPLE DRIVING AUTOMATED VEHICLES CONNECTED VEHICLES IS THE INDUSTRY AND THE INDUSTRY DOES NOT WANT TO SHARE IDEAS AND THEY ALL HAVE DIFFERENT IDEAS. SO IF YOU GOT IN A ROOM WITH A WITH A FORD EXECUTIVE THEY WOULD THE MOST THEY WOULD TELL YOU IS PUT DOWN REALLY GOOD STRIPES MAKE SURE THE SIGNS ARE REALLY CLEAR AND EASY TO READ. AND A VOLKSWAGEN COMPANY ARE A DIFFERENT COMPANY WILL HAVE DIFFERENT THOUGHTS ON HOW THEY'RE GOING TO INTERACT WITH THE INFRASTRUCTURE TO MANAGE VEHICLES SO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS TAKEN A STEP BACK APPROACH AND SAID LET IT DEVELOP.

LET'S SEE WHAT INDUSTRY COMES UP WITH WHICH AREAS ARE LEADING WHAT TYPE OF TECHNOLOGY. SO IT'S VERY HARD FOR A STATE TO REACT. ANOTHER BIG PICTURE PERSPECTIVE IS AT YOUR WHOLE BUSINESS IS DEVELOPED AROUND HOW MANY PEOPLE GO WHERE AND WHAT AREAS AND WHAT MODES DO THEY USE EXCEPT NEW MODES ARE BEING INVENTED EVERY DAY.

YOU CAN USE A SCOOTER YOU CAN USE UBER YOU CAN USE LYFT AND PROBABLY ONCE WE HAVE A NEW NARRATIVE. HOW DO YOU PREDICT HOW MUCH TRAFFIC IS GOING TO BE ON THE ROAD COULD BE LESS OR MAYBE IT COULD BE WAY MORE BECAUSE PEOPLE WHO WHO NOW MAYBE DON'T FEEL SAFE GOING ON A VEHICLE DON'T WANT TO DRIVE. MAYBE YOUR SITE ISN'T GREAT THEY CAN JUMP IN AN AUTOMATED VEHICLE AND BRING THEM FROM A TO B OR THEY JUMP INTO AN

[01:20:02]

UBER SO WE'RE IN A REAL THRESHOLD ON HOW YOU DO PROJECTIONS FOR TRAFFIC. HOW DO YOU DECIDE LIKE A LANE WIDTH WAS VERY EASY A BUS FROM MIRROR TO MIRROR IS MAYBE 10 AND A HALF ELEVEN FEET WHILE THAT'S THE WIDTH OF THE LANE. A CAR IS A CERTAIN WIDTH YOU GIVE IT A WIDTH WELL IF YOU ADD AN AUTOMATED VEHICLE ONLY LANE MAYBE IT COULD BE WAY NARROWER OR MAYBE YOU CAN GET MORE THAN YOU USED TO HAVE. IF YOU DO THAT AND IT'S AN ASPHALT ROAD YOU WILL DIG BIG DEEP ROOTS IN THE ROAD BECAUSE WE DON'T TEND TO GO STRAIGHT. WE TEND TO WANDER NOT ME BUT BUT OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD DOES ALL THOSE TYPE OF THINGS GOING ON. THE TURNPIKE IS DOING SOME GOOD WORK ON HOW YOU WOULD PREDICT THE TRAFFIC IN THE FUTURE THAT I'VE SEEN SOME PRESENTATIONS ON. BUT FOR OUR INDUSTRY IT'S VERY MUCH A TURBULENT TIME IN HOW THAT WILL HAPPEN. BUT YES THE STUDY AND YES I'LL BRING BACK THE THE VEHICLE WASHING UP TO THE NORTH. WELL THANK YOU SECRETARY O'REILLY AND ACTUALLY IF ANY OF YOUR STAFF WANTS ANY INFORMATION ON THE LINK OR ACCESSING THAT BOSTON STUDY PLEASE CONTACT MY OFFICE AND I DO APPRECIATE YOUR INPUT ON THIS. NOW WE HAVE A LOT OF ISSUES THAT WE'RE COVERING ON THIS FIVE YEAR WORK PLAN AND HOW DO YOU PROPOSE THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET MORE MONEY OUT OF TALLAHASSEE SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE RIGHT PROJECTS SOUTHWEST'S 10TH STREET IS A GREAT EXAMPLE. YOU LOOK AT A MAP AND IT'S LIKE A MISSING PIECE ON THE ROADS THE SAWGRASS STOPPED IT HAPPENED 30 YEARS AGO. WHY DID IT STOP. WHO KNOWS. BUT THAT CAN COMPETE COMPETE. WELL. THAT CAN COMPETE WELL WITH WITH OTHER PROJECTS AROUND THE STATE AND AND MONEY FOR BIG PROJECTS ISN'T IT'S A COMPETITION. IT'S A NEEDS BASED. WHERE DOES IT GO. I THINK THE REGION NEEDS TO WORK HARD ON WHAT IS OUR FOCUS ON TRANSIT BECAUSE EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT YOU KNOW IF I WANT TO BUILD A BIG TRANSIT PROJECT. I'VE ALWAYS SAID IT'S THE WORD I'LL NEVER BE SAID AGAIN LIKE VOLDEMORT. BUT THE WAVE YOU KNOW THE PROJECT THAT SHALL NOT BE NAMED. THE FUNDING MECHANISM FOR THAT WAS 50 PERCENT FEDERAL 25 PERCENT LOCAL 25 PERCENT STATE. AND THAT'S A VERY TYPICAL FUNDING MECHANISM. PEOPLE MIGHT GO AFTER 50 PERCENT STATE 50 PERCENT LOCAL BUT REGIONS LIKE ORLANDO TAMPA JACKSONVILLE THEY'RE GETTING THEIR ACT TOGETHER GETTING THEIR PROJECTS LINED UP AND THEY WILL GRAB THAT STATE FUNDING. MIAMI HAS A SMART PLAN AND YOU KNOW IT'S PROVEN A LITTLE BIT HARDER FOR THEM TO DEVELOP IT. BUT WHAT THEY AT LEAST HAD A PLAN AND THEY'RE TRYING TO WORK TOWARDS THAT AND TRYING TO LINE UP FUNDING. SO IF OUR AREA DOESN'T GET WE'LL MISS THE BOAT YOU KNOW THERE ISN'T AN UNLIMITED SOURCE OF FUNDS EITHER FEDERAL OR STATE AND IF OTHER PROJECTS THAT ARE GOOD ARE IN THE PIPELINE AHEAD OF US THEY'LL GET THE MONEY. SO I REALLY THINK THAT THOSE BIG PICTURE PROJECTS THE REGION NEEDS TO GET OUR ACT TOGETHER AND WHAT WE'RE DOING. WELL I'VE BEEN ACCUSED SOMETIMES IN MY ABSENCE THAT I DON'T BRING ANY ISSUES FROM TRI RAIL HERE BEFORE THIS BOARD. BUT WITH REGARD TO THIS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN WOULD YOU ENVISION. AND YOU MENTIONED IT AS TRANSIT ORIENTED ENVISION SOME TYPE OF A MERGER OF TRI RAIL WITH SOMETHING THAT MIGHT BE OPERATED EITHER PRIVATELY OR A P3 ON THE COASTAL LAKE. SO WITH THESE PARALLEL RAIL LINES AND OBVIOUSLY WITH THE COASTAL LINK BEING ABLE TO CONNECT UP WITH COMMUTER RAIL THE LARGE METROPOLITAN AREAS OF DOWNTOWN MIAMI FORT LAUDERDALE WEST PALM BEACH THE AIRPORTS THE SEAPORTS. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ENVISIONING WITH BROWARD COMING FORWARD WITH A COMPREHENSIVE TRANSIT PLAN. SO I THINK FROM A BIG PICTURE PERSPECTIVE YES.

I DON'T HAVE A CRYSTAL BALL ON OUR FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM IS A PAPER DOCUMENT WITH PROJECTS IN IT. SO SO THERE IS NOTHING THERE THAT SPEAKS TO WHAT YOU'VE JUST SAID. SHORT OF THERE IS A PROJECT TO BUILD A COASTAL LINK. IT'S FUNDED FOR DESIGN IT'S FUNDING FOR ALL THE STUDIES BUT BUT IT'S NOT MOVING FORWARD BECAUSE OF ALL OF THE VARIOUS ISSUES BUT MOSTLY IT'S PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER. I THINK WE NEED TO REALIZE THAT MIAMI IS SOUTH OF US AND A LOT OF PEOPLE TRAVEL SOUTH TO GO TO WORK AND A LOT OF PEOPLE TRAVEL THROUGH OUR REGION AS WELL. HOW WE DO THAT EFFICIENTLY. WE'VE GOT TWO HUNDRED FOOT CORRIDORS A LINE OWNED BY THE DOT TEAM OR TRI RAIL RUNS ON A LINE OWNED BY A PRIVATE ENTITY WHERE FREIGHT RUNS AND NOW INTERCITY SERVICE RUNS. WHAT'S MOST EFFICIENT FOR OUR REGION. I THINK GREG I WANT TO SPEAK ON YOUR BEHALF FOR THE EMPLOYEES BEHALF BUT YOU'VE HAD IT IN YOUR

[01:25:01]

PLAN FOR INNUMERABLE YEARS THAT THERE SHOULD BE COMMUTER SERVICE ON THE FEC LINE. THE DOT FULLY AGREES WITH THAT. HOW DO YOU GET THAT PRIVATE ENTITY TO THE TABLE AND DELIVER THAT SO THAT IT WORKS FOR THEM WORKS FOR TRIAL AND WORKS FOR THE REGION. AND YOU KNOW SOMEBODY NEEDS TO TAKE THE LEAD IN THAT AND TRY AND MAKE IT WORK. WELL I'VE ALWAYS SAID THE ONLY WAY THAT YOU'RE GONNA GET THE FEC ARE TO THE TABLE IS YOU HAVE TO HAVE SOMETHING THAT THEY WANT. SO MAYBE IF WE PERHAPS CONTINUE THIS DISCUSSION AT THE LEVEL OF TRI LEVEL TRI RAIL AND ENGAGE GREATER WITH THE MPO ON ON HOW WE MIGHT ENGAGE IN A COLLABORATIVE WAY NOT ANTAGONISTIC WAY THE EXISTING COMMUTER RAIL WE HAVE ON THE WEST LINE WITH THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HAVE.

YOU KNOW OBVIOUSLY KEEPING THE DOOR OPEN FOR A PROFIT MOTIVE PROFIT MOTIVE FOR THE FECR AND OBVIOUSLY ANY KIND OF COMMUTER RAIL HAS TO BE FOR THE MOST PART IT HAS TO BE SUBSIDIZED BY BY PUBLIC MONEY. SO IF WE CAN ENGAGE IN THAT DISCUSSION PERHAPS THAT'S HOW WE CAN BRING THE FBC TO THE TABLE IS THE FACT THAT WE WE COLLECTIVELY THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO BE SUBSIDIZING A SIGNIFICANT COMPONENT OF THAT COMMUTER RAIL LINE ON THE COASTAL LINK EVEN THOUGH IT WILL HAVE MUCH MUCH GREATER RIDERSHIP IT STILL WON'T BE SOMETHING THAT ON THE FARE BOX ALONE WILL IT BE ABLE TO PAY FOR OPERATIONS YOU KNOW MUCH LESS EVERYTHING THAT'S GOING TO BE CONDUCTED WITH THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AT ALL OF THE SITES OF THE STATIONS ALONG THAT ROUTE. NO I AGREE FULLY. A GOOD COMMUTER RAIL ARE THE AVERAGE AROUND THE COUNTRY MIGHT BE 25 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR IS PAID BY FARES. SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT 75 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR IS PAID BY THE BY THE PUBLIC SECTOR AND [INAUDIBLE] IT'S 18 OR 19 CENTS IS FAIR AND 81 CENTS READY TO SENSE IS IS PUBLIC MONEY STATE MONEY LOCAL MONEY AND FEDERAL MONEY. SO ANY COMMUTER SERVICE WILL HAVE TO BE SUBSIDIZED. I DON'T THINK NEW YORK SUBWAY OPERATES AT A PROFIT. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER GREEN MY QUESTION DOES NOT HAVE TO DO WITH A PARTICULAR PLAN BUT I'M JUST WONDERING IF THE STATE AS IT BUILDS SIDEWALKS IN LOTS OF LOCATIONS AND I'M GLAD YOU ARE.

WILL THERE EVER BE A SITUATION WHERE SOME PERVIOUS SIDEWALKS WILL BE TRIED THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. I KNOW WE'VE BUILT SOME PAIR OF PERVIOUS PAVEMENT IN PARKING LOTS. SO COULD WE SHOULD WE. I MEAN THAT'S A GOOD POINT. I HONESTLY DON'T KNOW DOES ANYBODY HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON THAT. WHY DON'T WE GET SOME DETAILS ON THAT BECAUSE IT'S A GOOD IDEA IT'S BEEN DONE IN PARKING LOTS WHERE YOU CAN'T DRAIN PROPERLY. BUT HISTORICALLY THE ONES I'M THINKING OF THEY ENDED UP HAVING PROBLEMS LONG TERM. WE'LL DO SOME RESEARCH BRING IT BACK TO YOU. TRUE GREG AND GET IT A LITTLE BIT. OK. I KNOW IN PALM BEACH COUNTY DID YOU HAVE SOME PARKING LOT. OH I'M SORRY. THIS IS ROBERT [INAUDIBLE] FROM THE FLORIDA PALMER TRANSPORTATION. THE PARKING LOTS THAT ARE I GUESS IN THE SOUTH FLORIDA REGION. THEY DID THEY DO THEY WORK PRETTY WELL BUT THEY ACTUALLY BACKING THEM EVERY DAY. THEY HAVE A PROBLEM WITH GETTING THEM CLOGGED. THEY HAVE THEY HAVE A SPECIAL EQUIPMENT BECAUSE THEY DO WHENEVER IT DOES RAIN IT DOES PERFECT. BUT IT BRINGS BASICALLY KIND OF SOILS AND OILS AND THINGS SO THEY CLOG UP VERY QUICKLY. SO THEY ACTUALLY VACUUM. THEY USE A BIG BACKING TYPE TRUCK PRETTY MUCH EVERY SINGLE DAY TO BACK IN THOSE LIGHTS. SO YOU HAVE SOME CONCERNS WITH SIDEWALKS AND THINGS OF HOW TO KEEP THEM FROM CLOGGING UP AND HOW TO KEEP THAT PERVIOUS ABILITY KIND OF INACTION. AND THAT'S WHY I WAS JUST ASKING ABOUT SIDEWALKS SOMETHING THAT WOULD HAVE NO CARS ON IT. SO IT'S A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SITUATION AND I DON'T KNOW WHY EVERYONE'S SO RELUCTANT. I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT A SIDEWALK COULD NOT LAST A CERTAIN NUMBER OF YEARS THAT IT WOULD BE OK WE'LL DO THE RESEARCH AND BRING IT BACK. OK. THANK YOU. WELL I KNOW AT LEAST ONE OF THE ANSWERS FOR THAT IF YOU WANT TO GO DOWNSTAIRS AFTER THE MEETING AND WALK TOWARDS THE TRAIN STATION THEY HAD A SEMI PERMEABLE PERMEABLE SURFACE OVER THERE.

BUT IT'S ALL CLOGGED UP. SO IT'S JUST A SOLID SURFACE NOW. AND THE REAL REASON IS THAT YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH WHY THEY DON'T MAKE SIDEWALKS LIKE THAT WHEN YOU WALK OUT THERE EVEN WITH YOUR OXFORD STYLE SHOES YOU'LL FIND OUT VERY QUICKLY THAT IT'S VERY LADY UNFRIENDLY. CHECK IT OUT. YEAH. I'M BEING SERIOUS. IT'S IT'S UNFRIENDLY TOO.

[01:30:07]

WANTED TO ASK A SPECIFIC QUESTION ABOUT THE MAP THAT YOU SHOWED US THERE THAT ABOUT THE COMPLETE STREETS THING. WE HAD AN EXTREMELY UNPOPULAR LITTLE PROJECT THAT'S UPCOMING IN LIGHTHOUSE POINT IN DEERFIELD OF WIDENING OUR BIKE LANES AS PART OF THE COMPLETE STREETS PROJECT. BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THIS MAP HERE I SEE US STILL IN TOTAL ISOLATION THERE SO THAT OUR LITTLE PARK THAT'S GOING TO BE IMPROVED ISN'T CONNECTING WITH ANYTHING NORTH SOUTH EAST OR WEST WHICH IS ONE OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT OUR PEOPLE HAD. SO MY QUESTION JUST IS DO YOU HAVE PLANS OR HOW DO WE GET PLANS TO MAKE CONNECTIVITY SO THAT WE HAVE A DECENT BIKE LANE GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN U.S. ONE OR ALL THE WAY WEST ON HILLSBOROUGHUGH OR SAMPLE ROAD SO THAT THERE'S SOMETHING I CAN EXPLAIN TO MY PEOPLE IF THEY EVER SEE THIS MAP THEY'RE GOING TO HOLLER ABOUT IT AGAIN. [INAUDIBLE] GOOD MORNING RICARDO [INAUDIBLE] WITH THE BROWARD MPO. ABSOLUTELY YES. THE CONNECTION IS THAT CONNECTIVITY IS VERY IMPORTANT AND THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE WERE ACTUALLY WORKING ON RIGHT NOW AS PART OF THE MESSAGE THAT WE ACTUALLY IDENTIFY THIS AREA AS AN AREA NEEDED OF CONNECTIONS. SO WE HAVE THAT WHAT YOU DON'T SEE IN THIS MAP IS ACTUALLY EXISTING FACILITY. SO THERE IS A LOT MORE CONNECTIONS IN THIS. SO DEFINITELY THAT'S SOMETHING THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. WE'LL BE WORKING ON IT. YEAH. AND WE HAVE THE MAP AVAILABLE SO YOU CAN SEE WE'RE GOING TO SHARE IT WITH YOUR. BECAUSE I THOUGHT I'D SEEN A MAP THAT SHOWED MORE THAN WHAT I GUESS THERE IS THERE IS MORE THAN THAT.

YES ABSOLUTELY. THIS FOR THE RECORD. AGAIN WE WILL REASON THAT RICARDO WILL SEND THAT DIRECTLY AFTER THE MEETING BUT THAT SAID YOU KNOW FOR THE RECORD THIS IS JUST THE FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM. AND EVEN THE U.S. ONE PROJECT THAT'S NOT SHOWING ON THAT BECAUSE IT'S FUNDED AND IT'S MOVING. RIGHT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. REMEMBER JAFFE. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. I JUST WANTED TO SAY AS A 30 YEAR RESIDENT OF WEST BROWARD AND A COMMUTER DOWN TO THE MIAMI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT I WANT TO THANK THE SECRETARY FOR YOUR MOST RECENT COMPLETE PROJECT OF THE ICE SEVENTY FIVE EXPRESS LANES. I THINK THE GOAL WAS TO DECREASE THE VEHICLE TRAVEL TIME DURING PEAK HOURS AND YOU DEFINITELY HAVE DONE THAT. I WANT TO CONGRATULATE YOU AND THANK YOU FOR THAT. AND I DO LIKE YOUR FOR EASE IN TERMS OF THE ENGINEERING ON OUR PROJECT THE EDUCATION AS IT WERE AS TO ENFORCEMENT I CAN'T SPEAK ABOUT THAT YET. AND THERE'S BEEN NO EMERGENCIES I'VE SEEN ON THAT HIGHWAY LATELY. SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THAT. IT'S REALLY DECREASE THE TRAVEL TIME FOR RESIDENTS OF WEST BROWARD. MR. SECRETARY YEAH. YOU CAN EXPECT WHEN WE DID THAT PROJECT TO MAKE IT ALL FUNDABLE ON WORK WE DIDN'T RESURFACE 75 AT THE SAME TIME. SO WE WILL BE COMING BACK RESURFACING I SEVENTY FIVE AND WE'LL ACTUALLY BE ADDING SOME GUARDRAIL TO STOP PEOPLE CROSSING OVER LEST THEY BE TEMPTED TO TRAFFIC BILLS YOU KNOW PEOPLE MIGHT THINK THEY COULD JUST CROSS SO. BUT THERE BE STILL EMERGENCY ACCESS FOR FIRE AND ALL THAT. BUT IT'S BEEN A GREAT SUCCESS PROJECT. YES THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER CAN'T YOU MR. CHAIR. I'LL JUST DO ONE OF MY COMMENTS AND IT'S AN OVERALL COMMENT JUST AS WE SPOKE ABOUT THE SECRETARY. THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR THE PRESENTATION JUST LIKE WE SPOKE ABOUT THE MAP AND MAKING IT CLEAR. I READ THROUGH THE DETAIL OF ALL OF THE COMMENTS THAT CAME BACK. I THINK THAT THE MPO IN COORDINATION WITH THE EFFORT OUGHT TO ESTABLISH AN ACRONYM TABLE THAT YOU SHOULD PLACE IN EVERY DOCUMENT THAT YOU PUBLISH TO US SO THAT I'M NOT UP TO 12 O'CLOCK AT NIGHT REFERENCING AND FINDING THE ACRONYMS. YOU KNOW I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT I HAD FOR BREAKFAST ALREADY SO THEY SLIP OUT SOMETIMES. THANK YOU SIR. POINT TAKEN. THANK YOU AND I WOULD LIKE TO RECOMMEND YOU ATTEND THE TRAINING THAT THE MPO SEE PROVIDES BOARD MEMBERS BECAUSE THEY ACTUALLY GIVE YOU A FULL MANUAL WITH ALL ACRONYMS AND I'M NOT GOING TO REFERENCE IT. SO. OKAY PUT IT ON THE DOCUMENT. THANK YOU. THANK YOU SIR. FORMER CHAIR BLATTER. THANK YOU. THE MOST FRUSTRATING OPPORTUNITY CONTINUES TO BOTHER ME IS SERVICE ON THE FEC TRACKS. I THINK THERE'S A LEADERSHIP VOID HERE. I DON'T SEE ANYBODY TAKING A LEADERSHIP ROLE WHETHER IT'S A 40 YEAR BROWARD COUNTY FEC OR WHATEVER IT IS. NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO GRAB HOLD OF THIS AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I KNOW THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF OBSTACLES IN CREATING A PASSENGER RAIL SYSTEM ALONG THE FEC. YOU HAVE A QUESTION OF THE BRIDGE OR THE TUNNEL WHICHEVER NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. PROBABLY A 10 YEAR PROJECT FROM BEGINNING TO END FROM FROM THINKING ABOUT IT TILL BUILDING IT MAYBE A HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS. WHO KNOWS WHAT STUDIES HAVE BEEN DONE. YOU HAVE THE IDEA THE QUESTION OF THE ACCESS AT THE AIRPORT STILL NOT RESOLVED THAT'S A COUNTY ISSUE. WE JUST APPROVED A

[01:35:02]

RECOMMENDATION I SHOULD SAY FOR DEVELOPMENT OF A SITE WHICH WE CALL A UNIVERSITY STATION WHICH WILL BE BUILT WHETHER THERE THERE'S A TRAIN OR NOT. BUT BROWARD COUNTY IS MISSING AN OPPORTUNITY HERE TO IMPROVE THE TAX BASE BY ALLOWING THE DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE FEC TRACKS. I'LL CALL IT THAT BECAUSE EVERYBODY UNDERSTANDS IT. WE'RE FILLED WITH DEVELOPMENT THAT HALLANDALE HOLLYWOOD POMPANO BEACH ALL THE CITIES FORT LAUDERDALE FOR SURE ALL THE CITIES ALONG THE ROUTE ARE READY TO DEVELOP PROPERTY OR ENCOURAGE THE DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTY. IT ISN'T HAPPENING. AND SO I HAVE NUDGED GREG ON THIS FOR YEARS. WHO'S IN CHARGE. IS THIS A RESPONSIBILITY. IS THIS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR THE MPO TO SAY WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A LEADERSHIP ROLE EVEN THOUGH WE DON'T HAVE AUTHORITY TO DO THAT. JERRY SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE ANSWER IS BUT I THINK YOU'RE STUCK IN THE SAME PLACE THAT I AM. WE NEED IT. WE WANT IT. THE PUBLIC WANTS IT. WHO'S GOING TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. SO I THINK THE IDEA COMMENTS FROM OUR FROM COMMISSIONER RYAN YOU KNOW WHERE THE ONE BODY THAT WAS CREATED IN THIS REGION FOR TRANSPORTATION ISSUES WAS THERE WAS THE S.F. 48 SOUTH FLORIDA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION ASSOCIATION AND THAT'S PROBABLY THE RIGHT PLACE BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT GREG CAN GO TO MIAMI AND AND TELL THEM WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO HELP MAKE THIS WORK OR OUR PALM BEACH. AND AT THE END OF THE DAY THERE HAS TO BE SOMEBODY PAYING OPERATING FUNDS. AND AGAIN NOT AN MPO PURVIEW. SO GREG HAS BEEN DEEPLY INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT FOR A LONG TIME AND IS ABOUT AS FRUSTRATED AS I AM WITH IT. BUT NO IT IS AN OPPORTUNITY POTENTIALLY IS GOING TO BE MISSED IF SOMETHING DOESN'T HAPPEN. WELL MAYBE THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY. MY FINAL COMMENT WAS THE CREATION OF A TRANSIT AUTHORITY THAT CAN MAKE THAT HAPPEN IS AS AN UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION FOR ALL THE TRANSIT PROVIDERS WE HAVE NOW. THANK YOU. ALL RIGHT. BOARD MEMBER RYAN THANK YOU MR. CHAIRMAN. I JUST WANTED TO COMMENT ON VICE MAYOR BLANCHARD'S REMARKS. THIS PROPOSAL OF COMMUTER RAIL ON THE EASTERN TRACKS ON THE FEC TRACKS WHICH STARTED THE SOUTHERN TERMINUS WHICH IS MIAMI CENTRAL. AND IT WOULD RUN NORTH TO WEST PALM AND PERHAPS NORTH OF WEST PALM. IF YOU'VE STUDIED THE ISSUE YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WE DON'T HAVE COMMUTER RAIL OPERATING IN MIAMI DADE AND MIAMI DADE IS AHEAD OF BROWARD COUNTY ON THIS. THE REASON BEING IS WE HAVE NOT EVEN GOTTEN AN ACCESS FEE PROPOSAL FROM THE FEC SO YOU CAN CALL A LEADERSHIP ISSUE. I CAN SAY THERE'S BEEN A LACK OF OF ANY IMPETUS OR EFFORT ON ON THE PART OF THE FEC TO MOVE FORWARD ON IT. AND I MEAN I KNOW THAT YOU'VE BEEN WORKING ON THIS ISSUE WITH REGARD TO A COMMUTER RAIL STATION AND I WOULD SAY I WOULD THINK THAT YOU'D BE AWARE OF THE FACT THAT MIAMI DADE DOES NOT HAVE COMMUTER RAIL AND FOR THAT REASON THE FEC HAS NOT COME UP WITH THAT PROPOSAL AND I KNOW THAT COMMISSIONER O'REILLY THAT YOU'RE WELL VERSED ON THIS ISSUE AND YOU'VE TAKEN A VERY POSITIVE APPROACH ABOUT TALKING ABOUT US TRYING TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY RATHER THAN IN SOME KIND OF COMBATIVE MANNER. BUT PERHAPS YOU CAN DISCUSS WHY THE FEC WON'T EVEN GIVE MIAMI-DADE A FIGURE ON THE ANNUAL ACCESS FEE TO TO OPERATE WHETHER IT BE FEC TRAINS OR OR SOME TRI RAIL TRAINS ON THE ON THE EASTERN LAKE IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY. DO YOU HAVE ANY INFORMATION ON WHY WE CAN'T GET THAT ACCESS FEE. I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO INFORMATION BUT YOU'RE 100 CENT RIGHT THEY HAVE NOT ENGAGED ON THAT DISCUSSION WITH ANY COUNTY AND I ASSUME IT'S LIKE A LOT OF THINGS IN LIFE IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY.

YOU KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW BUT THEY HAVE NOT ENGAGED IN ANY COUNTY ON THAT DISCUSSION. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. ABSOLUTELY. THANK YOU. WE'RE MOVING ON TO THE PUBLIC COMMENTS. WE DO HAVE TWO SPEAKERS SIGN UP AND POSSIBLY MORE. THE FIRST ONE THAT'S GOING TO BE RECOGNIZED AS MR. SADA. GOOD MORNING. I APPRECIATE IT.

MY NAME IS MAX OUT ON THE TOWN MANAGER FOR HILLSBOROUGHUGH BEACH AND I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF THE MPO TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND I'M COMING BEFORE YOU TO SPEAK RELATED TO THE 10TH STREET CONNECTION AS YOU'LL HEAR PROBABLY SOME OTHER SPEAKERS AND I THINK MY FELLOW FRIENDS AND COLLEAGUES FROM DEERFIELD BEACH WE STAND AND SUPPORT WITH THEM WE'RE NOT AGAINST THE PROJECT BY ANY STRETCH. WE THINK THE CONNECTOR IS HIGHLY IMPORTANT. WE THINK HOWEVER THAT THE DESIGN IS NOT QUITE COMPLETE. IT REALLY CIRCLES AROUND THREE PRIMARILY FOCUSES ALL RELATED TO THE MANAGE LANE.

FIRST IT'S I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR EQUAL ACCESS FOR THAT MANAGE LANE FOR ALL

[01:40:01]

TRAFFIC CONSIDERATIONS. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT CRITICAL FEATURE AND I THINK IT AFFECTS THREE DIFFERENT SYSTEMS SPECIFIC WAYS. FIRST THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THE GREEN. FIRST THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS WE CERTAINLY I THINK IF ANYONE LIVED OR TOOK A TOUR OR TOOK A TOUR OF THOSE VERY CHARMING NEIGHBORHOODS ALONG 10TH STREET YOU WOULD SEE THAT THE LAST THING YOU WOULD WANT TO DO IS WITH A MANAGE LANE PUSH ALL THE SEMI TRAILERS DUMP TRUCKS AND ALL THE LARGE TRACTOR TRAILERS ONTO THE SURFACE STREETS WHERE THE SAME ROADS WITH A BICYCLIST PEDESTRIANS AND FAMILIES JUST LIKE ALL OF US THAT LIVE IN BROWARD COUNTY WOULD BE. SO THAT'S MY FIRST CONCERN. THE SECOND CONCERN IS WITH THE DESIGN. THERE'S NO GREEN SPACE. AGAIN THINKING OF THE HARMONY BETWEEN THE PROJECTS THAT WE DEVELOP AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THEY GO THROUGH. THAT'S A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT. AND FINALLY FOR GOODNESS SAKE I JUST THINK IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO REALIZE THAT WHEN WE DO THESE PROJECTS AND IT'S OUR LEGACY WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION THOSE THAT LIVE IN THE AREA AND CERTAINLY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS MOVE FORWARD AND THEY EXIST AND THEY HELP US MOBILIZE THROUGHOUT THE COUNTY BUT NOT AT THE EXPENSE OF ANY NEIGHBORHOOD. SO AGAIN LET ME JUST MAKE SURE I'M NOT I'M NOT AGAINST THE PROJECT BY ANY STRETCH WORKING IN HILLSBOROUGH BEACH LIVING IN FORT LAUDERDALE. I TRAVEL ALL OVER THE COUNTY BUT I ALSO I'M A VICTIM WHEN I SEE THESE MANAGE LANES AND I SEE THE TRACTOR TRUCKS AND THE DUMP TRUCKS GOING ONTO THE VERY SAME STREETS THAT I MIGHT BE RIDING WITH MY KIDS. SO WHAT I WOULD URGE YOU TO DO PLEASE MR. JUST INSTRUCT OR RECOMMEND TO THE DOT THAT THEY BRING IT BACK TO DESIGN AND RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR US TO HAVE HARMONIZING BETWEEN OUR PROJECTS AND THE NEIGHBORHOODS. AND THAT'S ALL. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU SIR. THE NEXT PUBLIC SPEAKER IS MR. BROWN GOOD MORNING. MY TOWN MANAGER STOLE A LOT OF WHAT I'M ABOUT TO SAY. SO I'LL JUST MINIMIZE IT. MY NAME IS ANDREW BROWN. I'M A COMMISSIONER WITH THE TOWN OF HILLSBOROUGH BEACH. I'M HERE TO SPEAK IN FAVOR OF THE 10TH STREET CONNECTOR. HOWEVER AGAINST ITS CURRENT DESIGN SPECIFICALLY IN THE FOLLOWING TWO AREAS THE MANAGED LANE I AM AGAINST ANY INCLUSION OF A MANAGED LANE. THE GOAL OF THE CONNECTOR SHOULD BE TO MOVE ALL TRAFFIC VERY QUICKLY FROM THE SAWGRASS TO I 95 AND SHOULD BY NO MEANS PUSH LARGE TRUCKS ALONG THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND NEIGHBORHOODS SURFACE STREETS WHERE PEDESTRIANS AND BICYCLISTS WILL BE TRAVELLING. BICYCLISTS ARE AN ISSUE BECAUSE WE HAVE A BIG ISSUE WITH THEM DOWN IN HILLSBOROUGHUGH. SO THAT IS A REAL CONCERN. HARMONIZING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THE 18 RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE COAT. T SHOULD BE VERY MUCH FOLLOWED AND THE ENGINEERS SHOULD PLACE A GREATER EMPHASIS ON HARMONIZING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENT BY MINIMIZING TRAFFIC ALONG THE SURFACE STREETS AND BY MAINTAINING MORE GREEN SPACE ALONG THE CORRIDOR. I WOULD URGE THE MPO TO DIRECT F.DOT TO FOLLOW THE GOALS OF THE RESIDENT COAT AND THE OUR FRIENDS AT THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH COMMISSION. THANK YOU. THANK YOU. IS THERE ANY OTHER MEMBER OF THE AUDIENCE THAT WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK ON THIS ITEM RECOGNIZING THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH WINNING CHAIR GALACTICA VICE CHAIR AUDIENCE AND DEPUTY CHAIR. GOOD. MY NAME IS TODD DROPSY. I'M THE VICE MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH. I AM ALSO THE CHAIR OF THE COAT COMMITTEE. COMMISSIONER CARR AND THAT'S THE CITIZENS OVERSIGHT ADVISORY TEAM. AND I'M HERE TO OBJECT TO NOT THE SOUTHWEST 10 STREET PROJECT BUT TO THE FUNDING BEING MOVED UP TO THE TWENTY TWENTY THREE TWENTY TWENTY EXCUSE ME FROM TWENTY FOUR TO TWENTY THREE. LISTEN I KNOW THIS PROJECT BETTER THAN ANY PERSON IN THIS ROOM. SOUTHWEST 10 STREET GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF MY DISTRICT. I'M THE ONE THAT GETS THE PHONE CALLS FOR SOUTHWEST END STREET. I KNOW THE NEIGHBORHOODS ON SOUTHWEST 10 STREET DURING SEASON RESIDENTS FROM MY COMMUNITIES CANNOT GET TO WORK BECAUSE THEY CANNOT GET OUT OF THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS BECAUSE SOUTHWEST 10 STREET IS BACKED UP. I KNOW THIS. I GET THE CALL SO I KNOW SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE TO SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET. THAT'S WHY BEFORE I WAS EVER ELECTED I WAS ON THE COACH TEAM AND I WAS THE CHAIR OF THE CODE AND I AM STILL THE CHAIR OF THE COACH TODAY AND WE MET FOR TWO YEARS AND MADE 18 RECOMMENDATIONS THAT THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SHOULD TRY TO FOLLOW WHEN PUTTING A DESIGN

[01:45:04]

TOGETHER FOR THIS ROADWAY AND SOME OF THOSE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE TO BE CREATIVE. NO FLYOVERS AND TO DEPRESS YOU KNOW SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET AND WE WERE SHOWN PICTURES VERY EARLY ON DURING THE COAT PROCESS OF WHAT A SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET COULD LOOK LIKE. IT WOULD HAVE GREEN SPACE WOULD HAVE NICE LANES TO IT BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT HAS HAPPENED HERE AND THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS PROJECT HAS BECOME.

AND THAT'S NOT THE FINAL ALTERNATIVE THAT'S BEING PRESENTED ON OCTOBER 29.

SOMEHOW THIS HAS MORPHED INTO YOU HERE MANAGE LANES BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT IT'S REALLY EXPRESS LANES. THESE ARE EXPRESS LANES THAT ARE GOING THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF THE CITY OF DEERFIELD BEACH YOU HAVE CENTURY VILLAGE TO THE NORTH AND YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL IMMEDIATELY TO THE SOUTH. IT'S NOT LIKE FIVE NINETY FIVE WHERE THERE'S A BUFFER IN BETWEEN YOU HAVE RESIDENTIAL IMMEDIATELY TO THE NORTH AND SOUTH SIDES OF EACH SIDE OF THIS PARTICULAR ROADWAY AND IT'S MORPHED INTO LIKE I SAID THIS EXPRESS LANE CONCEPT AND I THINK THE FATAL FLAW DURING THE PD PROCESS IS THAT IT HAS NOT STUDIED OR LOOKED AT OR CONSIDERED A GENERAL PURPOSE LANE CONNECTION FROM NINETY FIVE IN THE SAWGRASS TO SOUTHWEST TENNESSEE AND I THINK THAT'S THE FLAW AND THAT WHICH NEEDS TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT BECAUSE WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT THE FDOT HIS OWN TRAFFIC STUDIES WILL TELL YOU THAT THE LOCAL 10 STREET TRAFFIC WILL HAVE TWICE LOCAL TO LOCAL 10TH TREE WILL HAVE TWICE AS MUCH TRAFFIC ON IT THAN THE EXPRESS LANES WILL HAVE. SO WE'VE CREATED BY THESE EXPRESS LANES YOU'VE CREATED ALL THESE ADDITIONAL SLIP LANES AS A RESULT OF IT AND THE SLIP LANES HAVE REDUCED THE GREEN SPACE IF NOT ELIMINATED TOTALLY THE GREEN SPACE FROM THE NICE GREEN PICTURES THAT WE SAW AT THE BEGINNING. IN ADDITION TO THAT THESE SLIP LANES HAVE REDUCED THE DEPRESSED SECTION WHICH WAS A MAJOR RECOMMENDATION OF THE CODE TEAM BECAUSE THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT WAS TO DEPRESS AS MUCH IF NOT ALL OF 10 STREET AS YOU CAN FOR THIS 2 PLUS MILE CORRIDOR. NOW IT'S LESS THAN ONE EIGHTH OF A MILE THAT WILL BE DEPRESSED AND ALL OF THAT IS DEPRESSED IS ONE OF THESE SLIP LANES THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT WHICH IS NECESSARY BECAUSE OF THE EXPRESS LANE CONCEPT. SO I JUST WANT YOU TO PICTURE OF THIS WAS IN YOUR CITY. WHAT WOULD YOU WANT. GOING TO YOUR CITY WE'RE NOT OBJECTING TO THIS BUT WE WANT IT RIGHT. WHEN I WAS HERE THE LAST TIME I SPOKE TO YOU WAS THE MEMBERS UP HERE MY FELLOW ELECTED OFFICIALS ARE SAYING WE ONLY GET ONE CRACK AT THIS AND LET'S DO IT RIGHT. AND THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING YOU AGAIN. LET'S DO IT RIGHT. LET'S CONSIDER ALL OF THE ALL THE ALTERNATIVES AS PART OF THE PD ANY PROCESS NOT JUST ONE. I THINK THE QUOTE RECOMMENDATIONS WERE USED TO JUSTIFY THE EXPRESS LANE SYSTEM. THE QUOTE RECOMMENDATIONS WEREN'T USED AS THE GUIDE GOING FORWARD AND I THINK THAT IS THE CRITICAL DIFFERENCE GOING FORWARD. AND I DISAGREE RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH THE CHAIRMAN THAT A GENERAL PURPOSE LANE CONCEPT VERSUS AN EXPRESSWAY CONCEPT IS A MINOR DETAIL TO BE STUDIED AND BROUGHT TO THE PUBLIC GOING FORWARD.

THIS HAS BEEN A VERY DIFFICULT PROCESS. I WAS AT THE INDEPENDENTS VAGUE COMMUNITY ABOUT LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AGO AND THERE WERE NO RENDERINGS THAT WERE GIVEN TO THEM AS TO WHAT THIS CONCEPT WOULD LOOK LIKE AND WE'RE TWO WEEKS AWAY FROM THE FINAL RECOMMENDATION. HOW IS THAT TRANSPARENT TO THE CITIZENS. HOW WOULD YOU EXPLAIN IT TO YOUR CITIZENS IF THIS WAS IN YOUR COMMITTEE COMMUNITIES HOW THIS PROJECT SHOULD GO FORWARD. THINK OF THE SITUATION THAT DEERFIELD BEACH IS IN AND WE'RE JUST ASKING FOR SOME COOPERATION GOING FORWARD ON THIS SO THAT WE'RE ABLE TO PRESENT TO OUR RESIDENTS THE BEST PROJECTS FOR DEERFIELD BEACH BECAUSE ONCE THIS PROJECT IS DONE FDOT IS GOING TO MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PROJECT. BUT DEERFIELD BEACH IS STUCK WITH THIS FOREVER. WE ALL ASK. THAT'S THE TERMINOLOGY THE VERNACULAR WE USE AS ELECTED OFFICIALS. WHAT IS MY ASK FOR YOU TODAY. MY ASK IS THAT YOU TELL THE F.DOT TO GO BACK AND STUDY AS PART OF THEIR PD ANY PROCESS. ALL OF THE ALTERNATIVES NOT JUST THEIR ALTERNATIVE FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT AND TO CONSIDER A GENERAL PURPOSE LINE CONNECTION TO SW 10TH STREET WHICH I THINK WILL ALLEVIATE A LOT OF THE ISSUES THAT WE ARE HAVING. WHEN YOU HAVE A GENERAL PURPOSE LINE IT'S BASICALLY CONSIDER LIKE A RAMP A TWO MILE RAMP BETWEEN THE TWO FACILITIES INSTEAD OF EXPRESSWAY. THE ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION WILL DECREASE NOISE IT WILL DECREASE THE FOOTPRINT OF THIS PROJECT. THAT'S WHAT WE SHOULD BE STUDYING AND FOCUSING ON NOT HOW DO WE ZIP THROUGH. THERE'S ISSUES WITH THE TOLLING AS WELL. MR. CHAIRMAN I HAVE ADDITIONAL TIME I SEE THAT I'M OUT LATE. YES. THANK YOU. WITH RESPECT TO THE TOLLING I MEAN YOU HEARD THAT THERE'S NO TOLLING TODAY BUT WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW. WHEN WILL THE TOTAL INCOME. WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT HOW THAT STORY GOES. SO AS OF NOW THE TRUCKS WE'RE GOING TO USE LOCAL 10TH STREET

[01:50:02]

ONLY. SO YOU WOULD HAVE BIKE LANES AND SEMI TRACTORS RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER.

WELL NOW THE SEMI TRACTORS ARE ALLOWED ONTO THE EXPRESS LANES BUT THEY'RE ONLY ALLOWED ON THE EXPRESS LANES TO THE EXTENT OF THIS CORRIDOR. SO THEY HAVE TO GET OFF BEFORE THEY GET ON I 95 OR THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY WHICHEVER DIRECTION THAT YOU'RE GOING WHEN YOU TOLL IT. THEN THE TRACTOR TRAILER PROBABLY WON'T BE ALLOWED THERE ON THERE AT ALL. AND THEN THEY'RE GONNA BE BACK ON THE LOCAL SW 10TH STREET. SO WE NEED TO THINK THIS THROUGH ALL THE WAY WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO JUSTIFY TO ALL OF OUR RESIDENTS THE PROJECT WE HAVE TO BE TRANSPARENT DURING THIS PARTICULAR PROCESS. I HAVE BEEN ASKING FOR TWO YEARS OR MORE FOR 3D MODELING TO SHOW THE RESIDENTS WHEN THEY OPEN THEIR FRONT DOOR WHAT ARE THEY GETTING. WHAT AM I LOOKING AT. WHAT AM I GOING TO SEE ON SW 10 STREET. AND TO DATE WE DON'T HAVE THAT. I WAS AT A COAT MEETING ABOUT A WEEK AGO WHERE THEY STARTED THE 3D MODELING THAT MAY BE PRESENT AT THE OCTOBER 29 HEARING BUT I THINK THE RESIDENTS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SEE THAT INFORMATION. I THINK THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT. RIGHT NOW IT'S JUST A FLAT ROAD PLOT THAT HAS DIFFERENT COLORS ON IT AND I DON'T THINK THAT A RESIDENT CAN SEE WHAT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A GREEN COLOR AND A BLUE COLOR LOOKS ON A FLAT MAP. SO WHEN I GO BACK TO MY RESIDENCE WHEN YOU GO BACK TO YOUR RESIDENTS TO EXPLAIN IN THIS PROJECT HOW DO WE JUSTIFY IT IF WE HAVEN'T GIVEN THEM ALL OF THE INFORMATION AND STUDIED ALL OF THE OPPORTUNITIES AND THAT'S WHAT I WOULD ASK THAT YOU ASK F.DOT TO DO TODAY. THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER GRANT THANK YOU VERY MUCH. IF I COULD GET THE CONTROLLER BECAUSE I THINK IT'S GREAT TO TALK ABOUT THIS VERBALLY. IT'S BETTER IF YOU ACTUALLY SEE SOME VISUAL SO YOU CAN REALLY HAVE AN UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS PROJECT. I WON'T BORE YOU WITH THE LONG HISTORY OF THIS BUT THIS GOES BACK TO 2015 EARLY RENDERINGS INITIAL DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS AND BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER TO TALK ABOUT THIS AND YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THERE ISN'T A BUS LOAD OF PEOPLE HERE ANYTIME WE'VE HAD THIS WITH THE MPO I HAVEN'T SHOWN UP WITH A PLETHORA OF RETIREES ANGRY WITH PITCHFORKS AND TORCHES READY TO GET EVERYBODY'S SCALP AS WE DISCUSS THIS ISSUE THE CITY DEERFIELD BEACH COMES TO THE TABLE KNOWING THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO HAPPEN HAVE BEEN FULLY SUPPORTIVE THIS ENTIRE PROCESS. THIS PROCESS HAS BEEN NOT BEEN CLEAN. IT HAS BEEN UGLY AND IT HAS NOT BEEN PRODUCTIVE IN THE WAY SOME OF YOU MIGHT THINK IT IS.

AND IT'S IMPORTANT AND I HOPE THAT I CAN GET EVERYONE'S ATTENTION IN LOOKING AT THIS. THIS RIGHT HERE IS THE EXISTING ROADWAY. THIS IS WHERE WE'RE AT. I BELIEVE ALL OF US CONSIDER THAT TOOK A LOOK AT THIS PROJECT AND LET'S SEE IF I CAN DO THIS CORRECTLY. WE HAVE SAWGRASS I'D ONLY 5 WHICH IS A GENERAL PURPOSE LINE AND WE HAVE LOCAL 10TH STREET WITH THE EXISTING 45 MILE PER HOUR. NOW IN THIS STRETCH AND THIS CONNECTOR FROM THE SAGA OUT FROM THE TURNPIKE TO I 95 ARE ACTUALLY FROM MILITARY TRAIL THAT THE TURNPIKE. YOU HAVE FIVE LIGHTS AND YOU HAVE A 45 MILE PER HOUR SPEED LIMIT THERE. WHAT IS COMING FORWARD IN THE NEAR FUTURE HERE IS THIS MANAGED LANE PROJECT. NOW LET'S TALK ABOUT WHAT MANAGED LANES ARE MANAGED LANES HAVE. YOU TALKED ABOUT ACRONYMS BEING CONFUSING. THEY REFERENCE MANAGE LANES FIVE DIFFERENT WAYS AND IT IS VERY VERY CONFUSING FOR ANYBODY IN THE PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A MANAGE LANE. AND I'LL BREAK IT DOWN REALLY SIMPLE WHAT IT IS. THE SECRETARY MADE A GOOD POINT. IT'S A WAY TO MANAGE TRAFFIC BUT THE WAY THEY DO THERE'S ONLY TWO WAYS THEY DO IT. EITHER THEY ALLOW TRUCKS OR THEY DON'T ALLOW TRUCKS OR THEY TOLL IT AND IT'S AN EXTRA TOLL ON TOP OF IT. IT'S WHAT MANY OF US HAVE CALLED A MERCEDES LANE. IT IS FOR THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THE MONEY TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO BE TRANSPORTED ON THEIR THIS PROJECT UP UNTIL JULY OF THIS YEAR. MATTER OF FACT TWO DAYS BEFORE THIS PROJECT TOOK PLACE. THIS IS WHAT THIS PROJECT WAS AND I DON'T THINK ANY OF YOU UP HERE ARE GOING TO VOTE ON THIS. UNDERSTAND WITH WHERE WE'RE HEADED IN THIS THIS MANAGE LANE WAS GONNA HAVE NO TRUCKS FROM SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY TO I 95. THEY WOULD HAVE THE MANAGED LANE. THIS IS THEIR MERCEDES LANE. THEY WERE GONNA HAVE THROUGH THERE AND EVERY SINGLE TRUCK WILL BE DUMPED ON THE LOCAL ACCESS ROAD OF 10TH STREET WITH A REDUCED MILE PER HOUR 35 MILE PER HOURS. SAME LIGHTS SAME PROBLEMS THAT WE HAVE NOW 10 MILES SLOWER WITH EVERY SINGLE SEMI TRUCK GOING ON THERE. FOR THOSE WHO WORRY ABOUT COMMERCE AND TRYING TO MOVE THINGS AROUND. I KNOW THE CITIES IN THE WEST THAT HAVE ALL THEIR BUSINESSES AND HOW IMPORTANT THAT IS AND OUR EASY ACCESS TO THE AIRPORTS INTO THE PORTS. CAN YOU IMAGINE ON THIS STRETCH OF ROAD SPINNING THREE QUARTER OF A BILLION DOLLARS AND WE'RE GONNA GO BACK TO OUR RESIDENTS AND SAY OH BY THE WAY NO TRUCKS ARE ALLOWED IN THAT BUT YOU CAN GET THROUGH IF YOU PAY THE EXTRA TOLL. OH WE MIGHT NOT TOLL IT. WE'RE NOT REALLY SURE AT LEAST NOT RIGHT NOW WE'RE GOING TO BUT GUESS WHAT. ALL THE TRUCKS ARE ON THE LOCAL LANES. THEY WOULD HAVE HAD OUR HEADS. THEY WOULD'VE THOUGHT WE WERE CRAZY TWO DAYS BEFORE THE JULY MEETING WHICH THEY MADE THIS PRESENTATION. THEY CHANGED THEIR MIND. THEY FINALLY CAME TO THEIR SENSES. THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT NOW. THEY HAVE A MANAGED LANE WHICH TRUCKS ARE ALLOWED IN THE CORRIDOR BECAUSE THIS IS ALL A CANAL THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A

[01:55:04]

CONNECTOR. THEY STILL HAVE YOU WILL NOTICE AND THE RED LINES THESE ARE THE MANAGED LANES WITH NO TRUCKS. SO YOU'VE GOT THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY IN WHICH NO TRUCKS ARE ALLOWED EXCEPT IN THE GENERAL PURPOSE LANE THAT ARE GOING TO BE ABLE TO MERGE OVER IN THE PURPLE LANE WHICH IS OUR NEW MANAGE LANES WHICH WILL BE ALLOWED ONLY TO HAVE TO EXIT WHEN THEY GET TO NINETY FIVE TO BE ABLE TO GET BACK INTO THE MANAGED LAND AND TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE LANES ON 95 BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED IN THE RED LANES ON NINE NINETY FIVE. AND IT'S WORSE WHEN YOU HEAD WEST BECAUSE IF YOU'RE HEADING WEST THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN GET ON IT IF YOU'RE A SEMI TRACTOR TRAILER IS YOU HAVE TO EXIT GENERAL PURPOSE LANES AND 95 YOU HAVE TO GET ON THE LOCAL 10TH STREET AT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND THEN SLIP OVER TO GET ON TO THE NEW MANAGE LANES TRUCKS ALLOWED ONLY TO EXIT AGAIN THREE MILES LATER OVER AT THE TURNPIKE. DOES THAT MAKE A LOT OF SENSE TO ANY OF YOU. THIS IS THE PROBLEM THAT I THINK WE RECREATE IT HERE. WE'VE GOT CONFLICT AREAS. THIS IS NOT EVEN KEEPING INTO MIND THE SPAGHETTI LOGIC AND IN THE NEW PROJECT THAT THEY HAVE FOR THE TURNPIKE IN WHICH YOU'RE GOING TO ADD A GIANT PILE OF OVERPASSES BECAUSE YOU'RE ADDING ENTRANCES AND EXITS AND ACCESS POINTS TO THE TURNPIKE WHICH DON'T EXIST TODAY. SO YOU'VE GOT THESE TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS IN WHICH YOU'RE HAVING TRAFFIC GOING TO HAVE TO ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE IN AREAS JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE DECIDED ALONG THE WAY TO MAKE THIS A MANAGED LANE PROJECT. THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS WAS EVER INTENDED TO BE. THAT'S NOT WHAT ALL OF US WHO VOTED TO MOVE THIS FORWARD THOUGHT THIS WAS GOING TO BE WHAT WE HAVE HERE AND WHAT IS EXISTING THERE. THIS IS WHAT WE ALL THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE. HOW DO YOU CONNECT THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY IN I NINETY FIVE WITH A GENERAL PURPOSE LANE IN WHICH YOU DON'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS AND YOU CAN MOVE IN AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED AND BYPASS ALL THE BAD TRAFFIC WE HAVE NOW. AND YOU KEEP THE LOCAL EXISTING ROAD FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WANT TO GET OFF AND COME TO DEERFIELD BEACH OR WANT TO GET ON THERE AT DEERFIELD BEACH. THAT'S WHAT WE WANTED. THEY'VE GIVEN US SOMETHING ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. AND IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING WHEN WE COME TO THESE MEETINGS WE'VE BEEN TURNING OUR TAIL AND CHASING TAIL ON THE FACT THAT THE TRUCK THING IS AN ISSUE THEY CREATE ISSUES AND THEN SOLVE THEM AND PAT THEMSELVES ON THE BACK. THEY ACTUALLY PUT OUT A TWEET TWO DAYS AGO THAT SAID HEY DEERFIELD BEACH WE HEARD YOU WOULD ALLOW TRUCKS ON THAT CONNECTOR. YOU KNOW MANY PEOPLE WENT WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT. AND WE'RE GOING ALLOW TRUCKS ON THE CONNECTOR. THAT'S ABSURD.

THEY CREATED THAT PROBLEM THAN THEY SOLVED IT. THEY PAT THEMSELVES ON THE BACK. LOOK THEY'VE DONE A LOT OF HARD WORK. I'M NOT GOING TO TAKE THAT AWAY FROM THEM. BUT DON'T CONFUSE SOME OF THE WORK THAT'S BEEN DONE FOR ACCOMPLISHMENT BECAUSE AS MY VICE MAYOR POINTED OUT TODAY WE JUST HAD A MEETING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO IN WHICH THEY DIDN'T THEY WEREN'T PREPARED FOR. THEY HAVE SET A HARD DATE OF THE TWENTY NINTH FOR THE FINAL DESIGN MEETING AND TWO TO THREE DAYS AGO THEY JUST SCHEDULED ANOTHER MEETING WITH THE NEIGHBORHOOD THAT'S SUPPOSED TO TAKE PLACE A WEEK BEFORE THIS MEETING. HOW ARE THEY GOING TO DIGEST WHAT THOSE RESIDENTS HAVE TO SAY AND INCLUDED IN THIS TWENTY NINTH MEETING. WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THEY SET A MEETING AND A RUSH TO TRY TO FILL EVERYTHING IN BEFORE THEY GOT TO IT AS OPPOSED TO GETTING ALL THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW. ALL THE RENDERINGS ALL THE POSSIBILITIES TOGETHER AND THEN CALLING A MEETING THEY'VE GONE ABOUT IT THE WRONG WAY. SO THIS IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST DESIGN. THIS GOES BACK TO JUST TELLS YOU HOW LONG I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS. 2015 DECEMBER. THIS IS WHAT THEY CALL THE TURBO LANE. THIS IS WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA GET SOMETHING SIMILAR TO THAT. THEY MOVED IT FORWARD TO THIS. THIS IS MAY 5TH OF 2016. THIS IS WHAT GOT MY RESIDENTS TO THE TABLE THIS IS WHAT WE WERE SOLD ON BY THE MPO BY GREG STEWART. BUT EVERYBODY WAS INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT. THERE'S A WAY TO DO THIS AND DO THIS RIGHT AND THIS IS WHAT WE THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA GET. NOTICE THESE LITTLE PARK TOPS ON TOP OF THEIR PROGRESSING FORWARD 2018. THIS IS WHAT THEY STARTED TALKING ABOUT AND SAYING LOOK WE STILL HAVE THESE SUBMERGED ROADWAYS. YOU'LL NOTICE THERE'S NO NEED FOR NOISE WALLS. THIS IS OPEN GREEN AND YOU STILL HAVE THE ABILITY TO MOVE THROUGH. NOW THEY DID START CALLING IT MANAGE LANES THEN BUT ALL OF US ASSUME THAT THAT JUST MEANT THE EXPRESSWAY BECAUSE THEY CALL IT SO MANY THINGS. THIS IS GOING TO BE THE CONNECTION MILITARY TRAIL WE KNEW AND THEY TOLD US IN THE BEGINNING. DON'T WORRY ABOUT HOW IT CONNECTS. WELL WE HAVE TO AND YOU SEE THAT WE STILL HAVE HIGHER OVERPASSES AND THIS PROJECT GOING BACK THEN. BUT TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THIS IS WHAT THEY'RE GIVING US NOW. JULY 11TH 2019. THIS IS THE PROJECT. IT'S A CONCRETE JUNGLE. THIS IS NOT WHAT WE WERE PROMISED. THIS IS NOT WHAT BROUGHT US TO THE TABLE. THIS LACKS CREATIVITY IN MY OPINION IT CREATES PROBLEMS AT THE KEY ENTRANCE AND EXIT EXIT POINTS OF THIS CONNECTOR. THIS IS NOT IN THE SPIRIT OF WHAT THIS BOARD HAD INTENDED FOR IT TO DO. YOU WILL NOTICE THAT THIS IS NOTHING LIKE WHAT WE STARTED WITH. THIS IS WHERE WE WERE BROUGHT TO THE TABLE. AND THIS IS WHAT WE'RE GETTING NOW I WILL TELL YOU

[02:00:05]

THIS WE DON'T TAKE THE POSITION THAT THIS PROJECT SHOULD BE KILLED. WE ASKED TO GO BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD ON THIS. WE FEEL THAT THEY CAN BE CREATIVE WITH THIS.

I THINK THAT HAS BEEN LACKING IN THIS ENTIRE PRODUCT PROJECT. I BELIEVE WITH SECRETARY O'REILLY SAID IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY USUALLY WELL FROM THE VERY FIRST MEETING OF THE COAT COMMITTEE. THEY WERE TOLD THAT THIS PROJECT WOULD BE SEVEN HUNDRED AND FIFTY TO A BILLION DOLLARS. THE PRICE TAG SHOULDN'T SHOCK ANYBODY HERE. MY COLLEAGUE HAD IT RIGHT. WE'VE GOT ONE TRACK. ONE CHANCE TO GET THIS RIGHT PLEASE. I ASK ALL OF YOU TO THINK ABOUT IF IT WAS YOUR CITY KNOWING HOW FAR WE'VE COME AND ALL THE WORK WE PUT INTO THIS THAT WE DON'T HAVE THEM RUSHING THIS FINAL PROJECT THAT WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PULL THE FUNDING ON THIS PARTICULAR SECTION LET THEM COME BACK IN A FEW MONTHS WITH A BETTER DESIGN THAT'S MORE REPRESENTATIVE WHAT THE PEOPLE WANT AND LET'S DO OUR JOB ON THIS PLEASE. I ASK.

THANK YOU SIR. AND ONE THING THAT I'M GOING TO TELL YOU IS THAT THIS BOARD ONE OF THE REASONS I ENJOY SERVING ON THIS BOARD SO MUCH IS WE HAVE A LONG HISTORY OF WHEN THERE'S AN IMPACT OF COMMUNITY. WE SUPPORT THEM. I KNOW THAT THEY HAVE DONE THAT FOR MY COMMUNITY. THEY'VE DONE IT FOR SUNRISE. THEY'VE DONE IT FOR COCONUT CREEK AND WE CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THE COMMUNITIES. AND THE REASON WHY I'M SAYING THAT IS BECAUSE I KNOW FDR IS LISTENING IN THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW AND I CAN TELL YOU THAT WHEN THEY CAME TO GIVE ME AN UPDATE ON SW TENTH STREET MY COMMENTS WERE FOLLOW THE CODE FOLLOW THE CODE FOLLOW CODE AND. AND THERE'S TWO WAYS THAT IT CAN HAPPEN.

OPTION NUMBER ONE IS THEY FOLLOW AND MAKE EVERYBODY HAPPY EVEN IF IT'S A MORE EXPENSIVE PRICE TAG. SMALL PRICE TO PAY TO KEEPING THE COMMUNITY HAPPY AND LIVABLE.

OR THERE'S A SECOND WHICH IS WE'RE GOING TO DO WHAT WE WANT TO ANYWAYS. AND WHEN IT COMES BACK TO THE MPO WE'LL KILL IT FOR A THIRD TIME AND THEN WE CAN START OVER ON THE FOURTH CHANCE. SO THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS AND I HAVE A DEPUTY VICE CHAIR.

GOOD. WE'D LIKE TO SPEAK. THANK YOU MR. MAYOR. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. GREAT COMMENTS. FROM THE CHAIR. MAYOR GANTZ AND CERTAINLY THE MR. GORSKI AND AND OTHERS.

I'LL JUST SAY THAT AS YOU INDICATED I THINK IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I KNOW THAT THIS MPO AS IT IS RIGHT NOW GREATLY VALUES THE INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC. IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU KNOW WHEN WE'RE OUT IN OUR RESPECTIVE COMMUNITIES WE WE SUPPORT THE MPO INITIATIVES. BUT WE ALSO CONTINUE TO SAY AND I'VE HEARD IT FROM OUR OWN MPO STAFF THAT WE VALUE THE PUBLIC INPUT AND IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE LISTEN TO THAT PUBLIC INPUT IN THE DECISIONS THAT WE'RE MAKING AND THERE'S YOU KNOW SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET'S BEEN COMING FOR QUITE SOME TIME. WE ALL KNOW THE CRITICAL NATURE OF THIS PROJECT AND THE NEED THAT THAT IT NEEDS TO HAPPEN TO ENSURE THAT CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN SAWGRASS AND NINETY FIVE. BUT I'M I'M STILL TROUBLED I GUESS I COULD USE BY THE FACT THAT THERE'S JUST DISCONNECT FROM WHAT THE COOK COMMITTEE WAS ADDITIONALLY PROVIDED THE ADDITIONAL RENDERINGS THAT ARE ON OUR SCREENS RIGHT NOW TO WHERE YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING WITH AT THIS POINT IN TIME WHICH IS MORE CONCRETE THAN ANYTHING ELSE. AND SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I THINK IT ALSO SPEAKS VOLUMES THAT YOU HAD INDIVIDUALS HERE FROM HILLSBOROUGH SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF DEERFIELD. IT'S COMMENT IN A NEIGHBORING CITY AND SO I THINK THAT THAT'S PRETTY IMPORTANT WHEN YOU HAVE TWO MUNICIPALITIES COMING BEFORE US AND AND EXPRESSING KIND OF THIS SIMILAR CONCERNS. SO I KNOW THAT THE CHAIRMAN WHEN HE'S WHEN HE SPOKE SPOKE ABOUT ISSUES OF THE MANAGED LANE SPOKE ABOUT HOW NOW THERE'LL BE NO TOLLS AND THE WORD NOW WAS USED QUITE OFTEN. SO IT CONCERNS ME THAT NOW DOESN'T MEAN FOREVER. AND SO YES ALTHOUGH WE ALWAYS WANT THE OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE A LOOK AT OUR TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENTS AND HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO CHANGE THEM AS THE NEED ARISES IT IS A CONCERN WHEN YOU'RE TRYING TO PUT A PROJECT SUCH AS THIS IN PLACE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR CHANGE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CHANGE WHAT'S BEEN I THINK PROMISED TO IF NOT PROMISE ARE SHARED WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THOSE THAT REPRESENTS THESE COMMUNITIES. SO I'M SOMEWHAT CONCERNED ABOUT THAT AS WELL. SO I GUESS FOR ME

[02:05:01]

TRYING TO I KNOW WE'VE HEARD COMMENTS ABOUT MOVING THE PROJECT FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR TO I GUESS FORWARD WHAT I'M GETTING IS TO AFFORD SOME MORE TIME TO ALLOW MORE TIME FOR THESE COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS TO BE HASHED OUT. WHAT WHAT CAN BE DONE BY THE MPO TO ACCOMPLISH THIS TASK AND I'M GOING TO ASK STAFF DEPUTY CHAIR ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE HAVE IS THE CODE PROCESS. YES THE ACRONYM WE THEN MOVE TO ANOTHER ACRONYM ONCE THAT HAPPENS THEN THE BOARD PRIORITIZED THE PROCESS AND IT GOES OVER TO WHAT IS A [INAUDIBLE] STUDY ANOTHER ACRONYM AND THAT IS OUTSIDE OF THE MPO.

THAT LEAVES OUR WORLD AND THEN GOES OVER TO THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION THE PICTURE IN FRONT OF YOU NOW AND UPON THE BOARD IS YOU KNOW HONESTLY THAT WE THOUGHT IT WAS A GREAT IDEA AND WORKING WITH THE CITIES AS WELL AS THE COMMUNITIES ON THAT CORRIDOR. THIS IS WHAT WE WERE RECOMMENDING THROUGH THE PD ANY PROCESS IT VETTED OUT VARIOUS ENGINEERING TERMS. ONE OF THE THINGS WE DIDN'T KNOW AT THE TIME FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROJECT IS THE BURIED FP KNOW FACILITY AT POWERLINE THERE WAS SOME CONVERSATION WE HAD ABOUT THE WATER AND MAIN THAT RUNS FROM ONE LAKE TO ANOTHER THAT THE CITY HAD. SO THERE WAS CONVERSATIONS ABOUT WHAT WE HAD ALWAYS ENVISIONED ON OUR SIDE OF THE TABLE THAT THIS WOULD BE THE SAWGRASS CONNECTING INTO NINETY FIVE MANAGE LANES DIFFERENT CONVERSATION SAME THEORY IS THE CONNECTION WHEN YOU GET THROUGH THE PD AND A PROCESS THEY START EVALUATING AND THEY WENT THROUGH VARIOUS AREAS AND I WOULD PREFER DOTY ADDRESS WHAT THEY'VE DONE. WHAT WE'VE SEEN AT THE END WASN'T WHAT WE STARTED WITH AND THAT IS FACTUAL YOU KNOW BUT IT'S JUST IT'S A PROJECT THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE AND I THINK NO ONE IN MY QUESTIONING. MY QUESTION IS NOT THAT THE PROJECT DOESN'T NEED TO GET DONE. THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT THE MPO DO WAS LOOK. MY QUESTION WAS THERE HAS BEEN MENTIONED THAT THE PROJECT BE DELAYED A YEAR TO AFFORD THE ORGANIZATIONS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HASH OUT. I THINK THEY'RE THERE'S SOMEWHERE THERE'S THERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY HERE FOR SOME COMPROMISE POSITIONS. CLEARLY THERE'S TWO DIFFERENT SITUATIONS. I HEARD FROM THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT UTILITIES WERE GOING TO BE HANDLED BY EFFORT. SO I JUST WANT TO UNDERSTAND AS AN MPO BOARD CAN WE DELAY THE PROJECT FOR AN ADDITIONAL YEAR TO AFFORD ADDITIONAL TIME. BECAUSE WHAT CONCERNS ME AND I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT IT HEARING IT NOW IS THAT WE ALLOW IT TO GO TO CODE AND THEN IT GOES TO ANOTHER PROCESS AND NOW WE'RE HEARING IT'S OUT OF EMPLOYEES HANDS. SO WHAT WE WERE ENVISIONING WAS MAYBE GOING TO HAPPEN IS NOW BASICALLY WE'RE BEING TOLD THIS IS THE OPTION THAT WE'RE GOING WITH AND THEREFORE IT DOESN'T AFFORD US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO THE OPTION AT HAND. IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE TELLING ME. I'M LITERALLY SAYING YOUR ROLE NOW OUR ROLE AS AN AGENCY IS THE APPROVAL OF THE BUDGET OR NOT. AND THAT BECOMES THE THE THE STICK THAT YOU HAVE. THE BIGGER THING THAT THROUGH NEGOTIATIONS WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS GOING TO BE THE QUESTION WHETHER DEERFIELD NEGOTIATES NOW WHETHER IT TAKES TWO YEARS OR THREE YEARS. THIS IS THREE YEARS OUT.

THIS WAS FIVE YEARS OUT ORIGINALLY WHEN WE WERE TALKING ABOUT IT THE OTHER DAY. THIS HAS BEEN MOVED UP SO WE'VE BEEN BLESSED BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE POWERS THAT BE UP IN TALLAHASSEE THAT THEY'RE WILLING TO GIVE US SOME MONEY. I CAN'T GIVE YOU THE ANSWER ON THE MPO SIDE. ALL WE CAN DO IS THE BOARD HERE AND THIS IS YOU AS OPPOSED TO WE YOU CAN EITHER DECIDE TO SAY NO TO THE PROJECT AND SAY THE MONEY DOESN'T WORK AND THEY MOVE IT OUT OR YOU DON'T. AND THAT LITERALLY IS THE CONVERSATION THAT I'VE NEVER RECOMMEND IS THE ZERO SUM GAME WHERE IT'S IT'S LIKE OK WE'RE GONNA TAKE THE MONEY AWAY. WE HAVE DONE THAT BEFORE. OK. WELL I'M AT THE POINT WHERE MY QUESTION IS AND I THINK THAT IT WAS REFERENCED THAT WE MOVED THE PROJECT OUT TO AFFORD GREATER OPPORTUNITY FOR DIALOGUE. I DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE HAS INDICATED THAT THEY'RE IN OPPOSITION TO THE PROJECT BUT I WOULD THINK THAT IF THIS WAS OCCURRING WITHIN ANY ONE OF OUR COMMUNITIES AND I WILL TELL YOU IF IT HAPPENS WITHIN AN AREA THAT I REPRESENT AND THE RESIDENTS SEE SOMETHING COMING THEY WANT TO MAKE SURE THERE IS AMPLE OPPORTUNITY AND YES THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SOME TIME BUT THEN IT'S BEEN A MOVING TARGET. THE PROJECT HAS BEEN SHIFTING. I MEAN WE JUST HEARD IT SHIFTED JUST A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO. NOW THERE'S ANOTHER PUBLIC HEARING JUST HAPPENING A COUPLE OF WEEKS AHEAD OF US. SO IT IS A MOVING TARGET. SO AND ONCE THIS IS DONE THIS IS DONE FOREVER IT'LL BE AN IMPRINT IN THAT

[02:10:01]

COMMUNITY IT'LL BE AN EFFORT BY THIS MPO. I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE WE GET IT RIGHT.

AND SO DELAYING A PROJECT FOR A YEAR IF THAT'S GOING TO GO FORWARD AND I THINK THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING FROM MANAGEMENT'S APOLOGIES IF THEY HAVE A LITTLE BIT MORE TIME THEY FEEL THAT THEY CAN WORK OUT SOME OF THESE LOGISTICS. I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT IT'S DID IT AND WE SHOULD CONSIDER IT. AND THAT'S THE EXTENT OF MY COMMENTS. OK. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER AND TROTSKY HELLO. YOU'RE THERE AS SOMEONE WHO TRAVELS THIS YEAR. SOMEONE WHO TRAVELS THIS REGULARLY. I'M GLAD IT'S BEEN MOVED UP. BUT AS A LOCAL REPRESENTATIVE I WISH THERE WERE MORE ELEMENTS TO IT THAT WE'RE TAKING INTO ACCOUNT WHAT THE AREA THAT'S AFFECTED BY IT WANTS. IS THERE SOMETHING I AM VERY HESITANT TO VOTE FOR. A DELAY IN ANY FUNDING BECAUSE AS I'VE SEEN IN SOME OF THE PROJECTS THAT ARE HUGELY IMPACTFUL IN OUR COMMUNITY. ANY EXTRA TIME THAT'S GIVEN SOMETIMES ENDS UP BEING TWO TO THREE YEARS BECAUSE WHILE WE SAY WE MIGHT WANT TO DELAY IT A YEAR WE'RE AT THE MERCY OF THE FUNDERS. WE'VE HAD PROJECTS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO BE STARTING ALREADY AND THEY'RE NOW TWO THREE YEARS OUT. SO I'M CONCERNED ABOUT DELAYING IT. SO I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT THE OPTIONS ARE WITHOUT A DELAY. THAT WOULD BE MAKING THE PROJECT LOOK MORE LIKE WHAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE. MR. SECRETARY DO YOU WANNA RESPOND. JERRY O'REILLY DISTRICT SECRETARY. YEAH I'LL I'LL TRY. SO WE WERE HERE LAST JULY AND GAVE PRESENTATIONS ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OPTIONS. THAT ONE THAT'S ON THE WALL I GUESS WAS WRONG BEFORE IT WAS EVEN ENGINEERS ON BOARD. WOULD I BE RIGHT IN SAYING THAT. SO IF YOU DREW THAT WITH DIMENSIONS THAT PROBABLY LOOKED LIKE REAL SCALE. BUT ANYWAY. SO I THINK IT'D PROBABLY BE GOOD THAT THE BOARD AS A WHOLE UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PROJECT IS NOW AND WHAT'S INVOLVED IN THE PROJECT. SO YOU SO YOU GET A PRESENTATION AND THEN DECIDE WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. IF IT'S ME I WOULD NEVER GIVE UP THE MONEY. SO SO THAT'S ME.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE TIME TO CONSIDER. SO SO JUST THE PROCESS TODAY JUST TO MAKE SURE WE'RE ALL CLEAR ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO WE HIRED CONSULTANTS AT THE END OF THE PROCESS. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME ANYBODY'S TAKEN SURVEYS. THAT'S THE FIRST TIME HE'S MEASURED ANYTHING WE GO THROUGH THE PROCESS. WE HAVE TWO ALTERNATIVES WORKSHOPS AND THE ALTERNATIVES WORKSHOPS ARE TO SHOW ARE ALL THE DIFFERENT THINGS WE COULD DO HERE. AND HOW DO WE HOME IN ON WHAT WE BELIEVE IS THE RIGHT ONE. AND WE DID THAT AND THAT'S HOW WE GET WHERE WE ARE TODAY. AND THEN WE PUT TOGETHER ALL THE DOCUMENTS THAT ARE NEEDED TO HAVE A PUBLIC HEARING AND THEN ONCE THAT'S FINISHED AND THE PUBLIC ACTUALLY SUPPORT IT AND IT'LL COME BACK TO THE MPO TO SAY IF THEY SUPPORT IT WE DO TWO YEARS OF THE ACTUAL DESIGN WORK. THAT'S WHEN THE REAL WORK IS DONE TO DESIGN IT LAY IT OUT AND THEN YOU BUILD IT. SO IS THERE OPPORTUNITIES FOR LOTS OF STEPS IN THE WAY. THERE IS. IF IF YOU'D PREFER TO SEE NOW IN MORE DETAIL HEY. THE CITY HAS LOTS OF ISSUES. LET'S UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY ALL ARE. AND SO THAT WE COULD MAYBE HAVE A MORE. CONVERSATION SO WE PRESENT TO YOU WHERE WE GOT HERE AND A BIT MORE DETAIL SO YOU UNDERSTAND IT. WE COULD MOVE OUT THE PUBLIC HERE. RIGHT. YOU COULD DO THAT. SO THAT MIGHT BE AN ACTION YOU COULD TAKE AND SAY WELL LET'S MOVE THAT OUT. LET'S LET'S UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS IS HOW A LOT OF WORK HAS BEEN DONE ON THIS CORRIDOR. A LOT OF WORK A LOT OF PUBLIC MEETINGS. IF IF THE MPO THINKS WE DON'T WANT THIS ALTERNATIVE WE WANT A DIFFERENT ONE AND THAT'S ONE OF THE ONES WE'VE WORKED ON THEN. THEN IT'S THERE AND YOU CAN DEFINITELY KNOW THE COST YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE YOU KNOW ALL THAT TYPE OF THING. SO I THINK YOU REALLY GOT TO DECIDE. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THIS TODAY BECAUSE IT'S PART OF THE OVERALL WORK PROGRAM. YEAH. AND THEN TO BUILD ON THE SECRETARY'S COMMENTS BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA SEE THIS AGAIN AT THE TYPE WHICH COMES IN JULY. THEN YOU SEE IT AGAIN EVERY TIME WE DO THE WORK PROGRAM. SO THIS LITERALLY WILL GO THROUGH THE PROCESS AND WE'LL HOPE THE CITY WILL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY UP THE FINAL DESIGN BEFORE YOU GOT A CONTRACT. YEAH BUT BUT WITH THE TIME WHEN THE PROJECT WAS IF YOU

[02:15:05]

THOUGHT WELL LET'S NOT DO THE PUBLIC HEARING IT THAT'S ESPECIALLY I THINK IF IF IT WAS ME BEFORE I AM TAKING A VOTE TO SAY IT WAS THE PROJECT OUT OF HERE I'D WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROJECT WAS I WAS VOTING ON ON THE DETAILS OF IT. WE HAD THE ABILITY TO DO THAT IF THAT'S WHAT YOU WANT. IF YOU THINK HAVING ENOUGH INFORMATION NOW JUST SO THERE IS TIME TO ADAPT THIS. YEAH. YES. YEAH. THE ACTUAL DESIGN WORK ISN'T DONE YET. NOT UNDER STANDING AS FAR AS THE EYE AGAIN WITH LOCKS APACHE ROAD. I AM VERY WARY OF GIVING UP MONEY WHEN IT'S THERE. WE'VE HAD MONEY THAT ALL OF A SUDDEN WE WEREN'T GETTING FROM THE STATE ANYMORE SO THAT IS MY CONCERN. WE MIGHT SAY ONE YEAR BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THE FUNDING WILL BE THERE. BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE DOING ANYTHING THAT THERE ISN'T BUY IN FROM THE LOCAL COMMUNITIES BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HERE MANY TIMES FOR MY COMMUNITY AND WHETHER IT'S BEEN HURT OR NOT. I WANT TO BE THE EXAMPLE THAT I WISH OTHERS WOULD BESTOW UPON OUR COMMUNITY. SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WHAT THEY'RE ASKING FOR IS TAKEN INTO CONSIDERATION WHILE ALSO BEING MINDFUL OF THE FACT THAT IF WE DELAY A YEAR THE FUNDING WHILE WE MAY WANT IT TO BE THERE A YEAR LATER IT MAY NOT. BUT I THINK IF YOU SEE THE BIGGER PICTURE OF WHAT THE PROJECT IS AND YOU MAKE A DECISION THIS ISN'T THE PROJECT WE CAN DO. THEN THAT'S THE TIME TO MAKE THAT DECISION. I I THINK THERE'S ENOUGH DETAILS KNOWN ABOUT THIS PROJECT AND THE STUDIES DONE THAT THAT DECISION COULD BE MADE NOW. THE ACTUAL HARD CORE ENGINEERING. THERE'S NO POINT IN DOING IT. SPENDING TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS AND THEN DECIDING WE DON'T WANT TO BUILD THIS RIGHT. THAT'S JUST MONEY DOWN THE DRAIN. AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED 30 YEARS AGO.

SO. SO WHY WOULDN'T ADVISE THAT IF IF YOU THINK LET'S DO THAT BEFORE DOES ANY PUBLIC HEARING WE COULD DEFINITELY DO THAT THIS TIME. BUT ALL THE ALTERNATIVES HAVE BEEN LOOKED AT. WE CAN PRESENT THOSE TO YOU AND SHOW YOU WHAT THEY ARE. WE CAN EXPLAIN THE PROCESS. WE CAN SHOW YOU PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THIS CARD OR TO MAKE A DECISION. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER YOU FINISHED. OK. BOARD MEMBER GANTZ THANK YOU. LOOK I'M GETTING THE MONEY FASTER IS GREAT BUT IT DOESN'T HELP YOU. IT'S FOR A PROJECT THAT YOU DON'T WANT OR ISN'T RIGHT. SO THIS IS THE SECOND MPO MEETING THAT THIS PROJECT HAS COME BEFORE HIM WHICH WE'VE HAD A CHANGE AT THE VERY LAST MINUTE. AND THIS IS TYPICAL OF F.DOT. I APPRECIATE THEM LETTING US KNOW RIGHT AWAY BUT IT IS IT CAN BE LENIENT AT THE LAST MEETING IN JULY THAT FINALLY TWO DAYS BEFORE WE HAD THIS PRESENTATION TO SIGN OFF TO MOVE FORWARD THEY FINALLY SAID GUESS WHAT. WE'RE GONNA ALLOW TRUCKS ON THE ROAD REALLY TWO DAYS BEFORE ALL THESE YEARS WORKING ON THIS PROJECT. AND IT TOOK YOU THAT LONG TO FIGURE OUT THAT MAYBE YOU SHOULD ALLOW SEMI TRUCKS IN THIS AREA. I THINK THAT'S WRONG. I THINK COMING BEFORE US LAST NIGHT AT SEVEN O'CLOCK SIX O'CLOCK IN THE EVENING IT WAS 6:00. I GOT A CALL FROM THE PROJECT MEN SEND THEM FUNDING'S BEEN MOVED UP A YEAR. GREAT. NOW WHAT DO I TELL ALL MY RESIDENTS I'VE BEEN SELLING THEM FOR THE LAST SIX TO EIGHT MONTHS TO THE YEAR OF WHEN THIS TIMELINE IS IS ON FOR. NOW IT'S BEEN CHANGED YET AGAIN I GUARANTEE YOU THAT THE NEXT TIME WE HAVE ANOTHER PRESENTATION ON THIS THERE WILL BE ANOTHER LAST MINUTE CHANGE BY THEM AND IT'S EXTRAORDINARILY FRUSTRATING FOR ME TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT. I BELIEVE THIS PROJECT IS OVER AND ENGINEERED. I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF PULLING FUNDING ON IT. I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA OF KILLING THE PROJECT BUT IT IS OVER ENGINEERED. SHOULD I WAIT I GUESS I'LL WAIT. ALL RIGHT MR. RYAN CAN YOU PLEASE RETURN BACK TO YOUR SEAT. I HAVE FIVE OTHER SPEAKERS. IT WOULD BE NICE OF YOU TO ACTUALLY LISTEN TO THOSE OF US WHO ARE MAKING PRESENTATIONS ON THIS AS CHAIRMAN. I'M GLAD. RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THINK I HAVE THE CHAIR I BELIEVE THIS THIS IS A CONGENIAL MEETING. YES BUT YOU'RE ALSO HAVING A CONVERSATION WHICH IS RUDE IF YOU DON'T MIND. I HAVE THE CHAIR. THANK YOU. OH THE FLOOR. THANK YOU THE PROBLEM WITH THIS IS THAT THEY HAVE INSISTED ON MAKING THIS A MANAGED LANE PROJECT. THEY ARE CHANGE THEY'VE CHANGED IT UP. THIS SHOULD BE A CONNECTOR ROAD THAT HAS A GENERAL PURPOSE LANE THAT ACCOMMODATES A TEAM THAT ACCOMMODATES THE MANAGE LANE. IT SHOULDN'T BE A MANAGED LANE PROJECT THAT IS GOING TO ACCOMMODATE THE SMALL SECTION HERE. THEY HAVE A WAY OF DOING THIS THAT DOESN'T OVER ENGINEER IT. THE COMPLEXITY IS ALREADY GOING TO BE THERE WHEN YOU TRY TO CONNECT THE TURNPIKE INTO THIS

[02:20:03]

PROJECT. IT'S GOING TO BE VERY VERY DIFFICULT TO TRY TO GET ALL OF THAT INTO THIS VERY SMALL AREA. I DON'T HAVE A TIME MACHINE TO GO BACK AND SAY WE SHOULD NEVER DEVELOP SOME THESE RESIDENTIAL AREAS IN THAT STRETCH. I'M WILLING TO CONCEDE THAT YOU CANNOT GO UNDERGROUND NEXT TO QUIET WATER PARK AND PUT THE LAKE IN JEOPARDY. I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT BUT THEY HAVE. WE TALK ABOUT IT IN GOVERNMENT WHEN WE GO AHEAD AND WE PEOPLE COME IN THEY WANT TO DEVELOP SOMETHING. WE THINK THIS IS A GREAT IDEA. LET'S GO AHEAD AND DEVELOP THIS. BUT THEN THEY GO TOO FAR AND WE HAVE TO PULL THEM BACK IN. THIS IS OVERENGINEERED FOR THE AREA IT'S 15 POUNDS OF SUGAR AND A 10 POUND BAG IT'S TOO MUCH. IT CAN'T IT CAN'T WITHSTAND IT. THEY HAD THE ABILITY TO BREAK UP THEIR MANAGE LANE SYSTEM A LITTLE BIT EARLIER ON THE SAWGRASS TO ALLOW THOSE TRUCKS TO EASILY SLIDE INTO THIS. THIS GENERAL GENERAL PURPOSE ROAD THEY HAVE THE ABILITY TO DO THAT ON NINETY FIVE AS WELL. AND IT WOULDN'T WORK A LOT BETTER AND BE A LOT SMOOTHER. THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKING. I HATE TO SAY LET'S KICK IT OUT A YEAR AND LOSE THE FUNDING. I GET THAT I DON'T WANT TO DO THAT BUT THIS IS NOT RIGHT. WHAT THEY'RE DOING AT THE VERY LEAST THEY NEED TO KICK OUT THE PUBLIC HEARING AT THE VERY LEAST GET THEIR DUCKS IN A ROW AND AND GET THE RENDERINGS THAT WE'VE BEEN REQUESTING AND HAVE THEM UP FOR THE PUBLIC TO LOOK AT. IT IS VERY STRANGE FOR THE SECRETARY TO COME HERE AND TELL ALL OF US WHEN WE'RE ABOUT TO VOTE ON FUNDING. YOU SAY IF YOU WANT TO KNOW WHAT THE PROJECT REALLY IS I'M HAPPY TO SHOW IT TO YOU. DON'T YOU THINK TODAY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE DAY TO DO THAT. WE'RE SIGNING OFF ON IT. YOU CAN DO IT AT A LATER DATE. TELL US WHAT THE PROJECT IS. I THINK THAT'S THE PROBLEM IS THAT WE ARE CONSTANTLY GETTING THESE THINGS WITH A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION WITH NOT A FULL UNDERSTANDING WITH THE FULL COMPLEXITIES.

HOW MANY OF YOU SHOW OF HANDS ACTUALLY THOUGHT THE TRUCKS WERE GOING TO BE ALLOWED ON THIS ROAD THE ENTIRE TIME. THAT'S WHAT THE IDEA WAS RIGHT. OH WE DIDN'T. I GUESS YOU GUYS DID IT. I WAS THE ONLY ONE AND MAYBE ONE OR TWO OTHERS BUT OTHER TRUCKS WERE ALWAYS GONNA BE ALLOWED IN THIS ROAD TO ACTUALLY GET THAT CHANGE BACK IN JULY OF THIS YEAR. TELL US SHOULD TELL ALL OF US THAT SOMETHING IS NOT GOING RIGHT HERE. THAT'S ALL I ASK. I APPRECIATE THE TIME AND I DON'T MEAN TO CALL OUT A COLLEAGUE BUT I THINK IT IS RUDE AND I DON'T LIKE TO FIGHT WITH ANOTHER COMMISSIONER. I DON'T LIKE TO BE NON COLLEGIATE BUT I THINK IT IS RUDE AT TIMES WHEN THAT HAPPENS. THANK YOU. THE COMMISSIONER HAS LEFT. WE HAVE SEVERAL SPEAKERS AND THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR BROWARD COUNTY. AND SO I KNOW THAT THERE IS EMOTION COMING UP WITH ONE OF THE SPEAKERS I ASSURE YOU EVEN IF THERE IS A MOTION AND A SECOND WE WILL GO INTO DISCUSSION AND EVERYBODY WHO HAS REQUESTED TO SPEAK WILL HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY. BOARD MEMBER SOUTHFIELD THOUGH I'VE BEEN TRYING TO FOLLOW MUCH AS I CAN'T HAVE A MINUTE TO MAKE ALL YOUR MEETINGS ORDER IN DEERFIELD I'VE MADE IT WATERWAYS I BELIEVE IN THE HURRICANE A VACATION AND BEING SICK AND MISSED THE OTHERS I WAS PLANNED I DO HAVE THE ONE FOR THE TWENTY NINTH ON MY REFRIGERATOR I WAS GONNA MAKE THAT WHEN I WAS EVEN FOLLOWING IT TRYING TO FOLLOW AS SLOW AS I COULD AND IT WASN'T QUITE AWARE OF QUITE EVERYTHING YOU'RE SAYING AND I'M I'M NOT REALLY SURE HOW I WANT TO HANDLE THIS. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROJECT TO THE REGION BUT IT'S EQUALLY OR MAYBE MORE IMPORTANT THAT THE CITY MOST INVOLVED IS SATISFIED TO TO WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN IN YOUR CITY THAT THIS IS THIS IS THAT THIS IS THEIR BACKYARD. WE HAVE TO WE HAVE TO RESPECT THAT. AND I DO UNDERSTAND. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN WE KNOW IT ALL. ALL PROGRAMS. WE'RE NOT GONNA BE HAPPY AND 100 PERCENT OF EVERYTHING BUT AT LEAST WE NEED TO SHOW THAT WE'VE LISTENED. AND I'M NOT SURE IF I'M THE DESIGNERS INVOLVED. LISTEN. I MEAN I'VE SEEN PICTURES OF ENTIRE BRIDGES BEING MOVED TO ONE OF WATERWAYS. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY MOVED THAT ONE BRIDGE ED ENTRANCEWAY OR SOMETHING I THOUGHT WAS PRETTY GOOD. AND THEN THEY EXPLAINED HOW THEY COULDN'T DO THE DEPRESSION BECAUSE OF THE LAKE. THEY WERE AFRAID TO IN A GAME WITH THE LAKE ACQUIRE WATER PARK WHICH YOU UNDERSTOOD THAT BIT FURTHER EAST. I'M NOT SURE WHY WHAT THE ISSUES ARE DOWN THERE. SO IF WE IF WE PLAYED THE LEVEE PROJECT BY YOUR PICTURES DIRECTOR WE'RE GONNA LOSE THE FUNDING FOR THIS. I'M VERY I WOULD BE VERY CONCERNED NO DIFFERENT THAN THAT. THE PROJECT THAT WE SHOULD NOT SPEAK ABOUT WHICH IS THE WAVE. ANYTIME YOU HAVE ANYTHING YOU NEVER LET GO OF MONEY BECAUSE YOU NEVER YOU SET A PRECEDENT. THE DESIGNERS APPARENTLY THEY ARE JUST. IT APPEARS THAT THEY'RE NOT LISTENING TO THE CODE TO THE TO THE CITY INVOLVED HERE AND WE AS A MPO WE'RE SUPPOSEDLY JUST BIG GOVERNING BOARD ABOUT TRANSPORTATION IN OUR REGION. YOU TELL ME WE CAN'T SAY HAVE A SAY IN THAT AND SAY LISTEN YOU GUYS LISTEN TO THE CODE. LISTEN TO THE FEARFUL PEOPLE YOU KNOW MAKE THEM HAPPY BECAUSE WE NEED THIS IN OUR REGION UNTIL THEY DO THE PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE SELECTED ALTERNATIVE. AND THAT'S THE PDA PROCESS. THE PRELIMINARY DESIGN AND ENGINEERING. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I WOULD THEN COME TO THE BOARD AND SAY OK THIS IS

[02:25:03]

ACTUALLY THIS I LIKE IT BECAUSE YOU KNOW MAYOR GAINS COULD CHANGE AGAIN YOU KNOW HE'S RIGHT. AND LISTENING TO THE CONVERSATION TODAY I'M SURE THEY'RE BUSY THINKING ABOUT IT. SO I THINK THAT'S THE POSITIVE SIDE OF THIS. AND I WOULDN'T WANT TO LET THE MONEY GO OUT OF THE WORK PROGRAM BECAUSE WE'VE GOT A COUPLE OF YEARS TO ONCE THEY ACTUALLY DO SOME HARD ACTUALLY ENGINEERING THAT WE COULD MAYBE LET IT GO FOR TODAY. I MEAN PASS IT TODAY AND THEN WATCH THIS CLOSELY AND THEN NEXT YEAR IF THEY HAVEN'T FOLLOWED THE CODE OR SATISFIED TO THE CITY WE STOP IT AT THAT POINT. YES SIR YOU CAN. THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE SATISFACTORY TO THE CITY OF DEERFIELD. AN IDEA I'LL TAKE MYSELF. I THINK THE CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS THIS PUBLIC MEETING THAT THEY'RE ABOUT TO HAVE IS THE FINAL DECISION ON WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS GOING TO BE AND THAT IS MY CONCERN. AND I AGREE WITH YOU. YES THAT WOULD BE THAT WOULD BE FINE. BUT THE PROBLEM IS AND HAVING GONE THROUGH THIS PROCESS SO LONG IN MY RESIDENTS ARE NOW NOT TRUSTING AT THE POINT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS IS THAT ONCE THIS DECISION HAS BEEN MADE AND THIS MEETING THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE ON THE TWENTY NINTH. ONCE THAT HAPPENS THERE'S NO MORE DISCUSSION ON WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS. THAT'S IT. AND CAN WE ASK THEM TO DELAY THE TWENTY NINTH PRESENTATION. WELL THIS IS THIS IS WHAT I'M GOING TO RECOMMEND BECAUSE I'VE BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH TO KNOW THE PROCESS VERY BACKWARDS AND FORWARDS. YOU CAN ACTUALLY KILL THE PROJECT DAYS BEFORE IT GOES TO CONSTRUCTION SO TO SPEAK. YOU CAN YOU CAN KILL IT WHEN IT COMES TO THE T IP FOR THE YEAR IT IS GOING TO BE CONSTRUCTED. THEY DON'T LIKE IT WHEN YOU DO THAT BUT THAT IS AN ACTION THAT THIS BOARD CAN DO. I THINK I CAN FEEL FREE TO KNOW THAT THERE'S A LOT OF F DOT STAFF IN THE AUDIENCE RIGHT NOW. THEY HAVE LISTENED TO EVERYBODY SAY THE SAME THING. THIS IS AN IMPORTANT PROJECT BUT WE'RE GOING TO SUPPORT THE LOCAL COMMUNITY THAT IS BEING IMPACTED. TAKE THAT NOW WITH THE GRAIN SALT BUT WITH THE UTMOST IMPORTANCE BECAUSE THE OTHER THING I'M LISTENING TO IS THAT THIS IS NOT A FINAL PUBLIC OUTREACH. WE ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE IN THE FUTURE. AND AS THE PROJECT CHANGES WE WILL HAVE MORE PUBLIC INPUT MEETINGS TO BE SHARED WITH THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND TO GO DOWN THAT CHECKLIST OF WHAT COAT ITEMS HAVE BEEN CHECKED OFF THAT LIST WITH THE MOST RECENT DESIGN I AM RECOMMENDING THAT WE DO PASS THIS TODAY.

AND IF SOMEBODY MAKES A MOTION WHICH I THINK TWO SPEAKERS OUT WE'RE GONNA HAVE A MOTION BEING MADE THAT WILL BE THAT THIS IS NOT THE FINAL PUBLIC OUTREACH AND THAT YOU NEED TO INCORPORATE THE COMMENTS THAT WERE SAID HERE BY THE MEMBERSHIP TODAY CONTINGENT ON APPROVAL OF THIS BUDGET TODAY. AND MR. DIRECTOR DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING. YEAH I JUST ACTUALLY CONFIRMED WITH THE DISTRICT SECRETARY THAT ARE ALSO WILLING TO POSTPONE THE PUBLIC HEARING ON THE TWENTY NINTH AND THIRTIETH WHENEVER IT IS TO FURTHER ADDRESS SOME OF THE COMMENTS THAT WERE BROUGHT UP AND ANOTHER WAY FOR MR. SOCIAL NOT TO ATTEND. JUST KIDDING ON YOU AND WE'RE GONNA SPEND THE HOLIDAYS TOGETHER. OKAY. THANK YOU FORMER CHAIR BUTNER. I HAVE SOME QUESTIONS SOUND LIKE STATEMENTS BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND THIS. ALL WE'RE BEING ASKED TO DO IS TO CONTINUE THE ALLOCATION OF FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT NOT THE PROJECTS SPECIFICALLY THAT IS CORRECT SIR. THANK YOU. I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP THIS MONEY.

WE WILL NEVER SEE IT AGAIN. I DON'T THINK ANYBODY WANTS TO GIVE IT UP BECAUSE THE PROJECT ITSELF IS SO IMPORTANT. IN FACT WHEN WHEN WE APPROVED IT HERE AT THIS LEVEL EVERY MEMBER OF THIS BOARD LITERALLY STOOD UP AND CHEERED AND SAID THANKS HEAVENS THAT SOMEBODY HAD THE GUTS TO BRING IT UP AGAIN BECAUSE WE WE KNEW WHEN IT WAS REJECTED BEFORE THAT IT WAS IT WAS A DISAPPOINTMENT IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED. THIS NEEDS TO HAPPEN. AND IF THE ISSUES ARE DESIGN I FOLLOW WHAT MOST OF MY COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID WHICH IS THE COMMUNITY RULES THE COMMUNITY RULES. I DON'T KNOW HOW WE GOT FROM THIS SIMPLE BEAUTIFUL INNOVATIVE PROJECT HERE WHICH HAD THESE PLATFORMS OVER THE ROAD WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN PARKS ON TOP OF THEM AND PLAYGROUNDS AND WHATEVER TO SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE THE DAN RYAN EXPRESSWAY IN CHICAGO. IF YOU'VE EVER DRIVEN ON THAT SO I DON'T MEAN TO CRITICIZE ANYBODY THAT DID THAT. THAT WORKS FOR THE DEPARTMENT TRANSPORTATION WHO CAME UP WITH A DESIGN BASED ON WHAT THEY THOUGHT WOULD WORK BEST BUT I WOULD LIKE TO. I WILL SUPPORT IN FACT IF YOU DON'T MIND I WILL MOVE THAT WE APPROVE THIS AND ACCEPT THE DEPARTMENT'S MOVIE THE DATE OF THAT MEETING FOR A PAST OCTOBER 20. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE. I'LL

[02:30:01]

MAKE A MOVE. EMOTIONALLY APPROVE THIS. I BELIEVE WE HAVE A FRIENDLY AMENDMENT ADDITION MOTION. MR. BLATTER WHAT'S THE AMENDMENT. I HAVEN'T SPOKEN TO THE DEPUTY CHAIR. GOOD. ISN'T THAT NICE. SO YOU SPOKE EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING AND TO START ON THAT I'D LIKE TO MAKE A FRIENDLY A MOMENT AMENDMENT THAT THE PUBLIC HEARING BE DEFERRED UNTIL SUCH TIME AS THE RENDERINGS ARE SHARED WITH THE MPO 3D PITCHER OK. THE AMENDMENT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED BY THE MOTION MAKER. UH WE'RE GONNA GIVE A BRIEF MOMENT FOR UH MISS SCHULTZ TO TYPE IT IN AS A MOTION AND THEN AS A SECOND AND THOSE RENDERINGS UH WE'RE INCLUSIVE OF A 3D PILOT MODEL SIMILAR TO WHAT'S BEEN SHARED. WE'LL BRING THAT WITH THE DEPARTMENT. OKAY. SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND THEN THERE'S IS THERE A SECOND OKAY. THERE WE GO. AND SO WE WILL NOW GO INTO DISCUSSION FOR THIS MOTION. BOARD MEMBER JOHNSON. YES. I JUST WANTED TO ADD THAT I'VE BEEN PART OF THIS PROCESS FOR 30 YEARS SINCE I LIVED IN DEERFIELD ORIGINALLY AND I'VE SEEN ALL THE DISCUSSION OF THIS AND I WAS THERE WHEN THE BUSES DID COME DOWN TO THE MPO ETC. SO I ONLY WANT TO SAY STRONGLY AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SAID THIS. DON'T LET THIS MONEY GET AWAY FROM US RIGHT NOW. AND I THINK WE'RE TAKING THE RIGHT PATH TO POSTPONE A PUBLIC HEARING AND TO TRY AND GET THIS CLOSER TO WHAT EVERYBODY WANTS WE MAY HAVE TO COMPROMISE ONE WAY OR ANOTHER A LITTLE BIT NOT A LOT. BUT PLEASE LET US GO FORWARD AND TRY AND GET THIS WORKED OUT. THANK YOU. OKAY. BOARD MEMBER JAFFE THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. I JUST WANT TO SAY ON THIS SOUTHWEST 10 STREET CONNECTOR I'M VERY MUCH IN FAVOR OF EASING THE TRAFFIC FROM THE SAWGRASS TO I 95 AND I DON'T WANT TO LOSE THE FUNDING FOR THIS PROJECT BUT I HAVE A COUPLE OF COMMENTS IN TERMS OF WHEN YOU APPROVE A PROJECT AT A MUNICIPAL LEVEL FOR THE F.DOT AND THEN YOU GO BACK AND CANCEL THAT PROJECT. WE JUST HAD THAT HAPPEN IN THE CITY OF WESTON AND IT REALLY DOESN'T LOOK FAVORABLY UPON THE MUNICIPAL BODY. SO I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR TO THE BOARD HERE IF WE DO APPROVE A PROJECT IT WOULD BE NICE IF IT WAS UNANIMOUS AT THIS BOARD LEVEL BECAUSE IT WOULD STRENGTHEN THE PROJECT WITH THE COMMUNITY AND THAT BEING SAID I DO UNDERSTAND ALL THE IMPLICATIONS GOING ON WITHIN THE COMMUNITY BECAUSE I WOULD LIKE A LITTLE HISTORY OF HOW IT WENT FROM BEING A MANAGED LANE WHERE NO TRUCKS WITH TRUCKS ALLOWED TO A MANAGE LANE WHERE NO TRUCKS WERE ALLOWED AND PUSHING THAT TRAFFIC ONTO THE LOCAL STREETS WHICH TO ME DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A VERY REASONABLE PROJECT FOR THOSE RESIDENTS IN THAT COMMUNITY. I DO LIKE THE AMENDMENT WHERE WE WOULD PUSH OUT THE PUBLIC MEETING UNTIL WE HAD A PRESENTATION TO FURTHER CLARIFY EVERYTHING THAT WAS IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT THIS BOARD WANTS. AND LASTLY I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I DO WORK IN A PROFESSION THAT HAS A LOT OF ACRONYMS AND ONE THING THAT WE ALWAYS SAID WAS I HAD SOMEONE WHO IS VERY EXPERIENCED TELL ME BEFORE YOU LET THE PLANE MOVE FORWARD ON THE AIRPLANE ON AN AIRPLANE YOU CAN PUT THE BRAKES ON A PARKING BRAKE IT'S A RED LIGHT DON'T RELEASE THAT PARKING BRAKE AND DON'T TURN THAT RED LIGHT OFF AND MOVE THIS AIRCRAFT UNTIL YOU ARE 100 PERCENT SATISFIED THAT IT'S GONNA BE A SAFE OPERATION I LIKE THAT SIR. FOR INSTANCE LAST YEAR. THAT'S A GOOD BOARD MEMBERS SIMMONS. THANK YOU MR. CHAIR. SO I HAD A NUMBER OF QUESTIONS AND THEY ALL GOT ANSWERED BY MANY OF MY COLLEAGUES HERE ON THE BOARD. I GUESS ALL I WANT TO SAY IS THAT TO REITERATE IS THAT NO ONE ACTUALLY SAID THEY'RE IN FAVOR OF KILLING THE PROJECT. I THINK WE ALL HAVE UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT SOMETHING DOES HAVE TO GET DONE. I DO WANT MY MY FRIENDS IN DEERFIELD TO KNOW THAT I AND I'M SURE I'M NOT ALONE I'VE HEARD THE CONCERNS THAT YOU'RE RAISING BUT I ALSO HAVE HEARD FROM COLLEAGUES ON THE BOARD AS FAR AS THE FUNDING. THE FUNDING FOR THIS TO AT LEAST KEEP THE PROJECT GOING. IT'S SOMETHING THAT IS IMPORTANT. AND IF I'VE UNDERSTOOD AND HEARD CORRECTLY THIS IS NOT THE FINAL SAY NOT THE FINAL DESIGN NOT THE FINAL

[02:35:03]

CONSTRUCTION. I LOVE THE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT BY DEPUTY VICE CHAIR. GOOD. I HAVE LOOKED AT THE TITLE STILL LAND AND EVERYBODY'S TITLES BUT I AM HOPING AND I AM HOPING AND I AND I PLAN TO MAKE EVERY SINGLE MEETING THAT I CAN MAKE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE THE BOARD AND HOPEFULLY FDI BECAUSE I KNOW THEY'RE GOING TO GO OUT AND CONTINUE TO DO PRESENTATIONS IN THE COMMUNITIES AND THE SURROUNDING CITIES AS WELL THAT THE ALTERNATIVE IS THAT YOU ALL AND THAT THE CODE HAS RECOMMENDED ARE INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT. I WILL SAY THAT THE MAY 5TH 2016 DESIGN IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE SEEN THAT AND I'M NOT SURE IF IT WAS BECAUSE OF PRICE CONCERNS OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT AS TO WHY THAT WAS SCRAPPED. BUT I DEFINITELY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT WE ARE BASICALLY GIVING WHAT THE AFFECTED CITY WANTS BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY AS SOMEONE THAT FIGHTS TREMENDOUSLY FOR HOME RULE THAT YOU KNOW WE'RE CLOSEST TO THE PEOPLE AND WE HEAR THEM EVERY DAY. AND SO IF THAT IS THE DESIGN THAT THEY ARE WARNING THEN WE GOT TO DO OUR BEST TO TRY TO GET THAT SOMEHOW SOME WAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU MR. STEWART. VERY QUICKLY MR. CHAIRMAN I DO ALSO THIS WITH THE DISTRICT SECRETARY AND ONE OF THE IDEAS IS ACTUALLY HAVE THE DOT COME DURING OUR RETREAT AND WE SET UP THE BOARD ROOMS ON THE SIDE WHERE YOU HAD MORE INTIMATE CONVERSATION THAT WE SET THAT UP FOR THE UP FOR THE RETREAT SO THE DISCUSSION OF SOUTHWEST'S 10TH THAT WILL BE JANUARY. SO THE DISCUSSION OF SOUTHWEST TENTS CAN GO THROUGH THERE AND YOU CAN HAVE THE EXACT LEAVE. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED. THIS IS HOW THIS WAS HOW THIS LOOKED AND THEN YOU CAN HAVE THE DIRECT ONE ON ONE CONVERSATIONS. DOES THAT ACCEPTABLE MAKE IT SO THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER SHARIF OH YES. MR. CHAIR I WAS JUST POINTING OUT A POINT OF ORDER ON THE MOTION. SURE. MR. BLATTER MADE THE MOTION. GOOD. SECONDED THE MOTION WITH AN AMENDMENT WITH A FINE FRIENDLY AMENDMENT.

BUT ON THE SCREEN IT SAYS MARGARET BATES AND LARRY SILL FEEL SO I THINK THEIR RECORD WOULD BE WRONG THEN. WELL I WAS. WHEN WE COME TO A VOTE I WAS GOING TO CLARIFY WHAT I'M VOTING ON. AND WHO MADE THE MOTION AND SECONDED. I'M JUST I'M JUST A WILLING PARTICIPANT. OH YES. THAT'S WHY WE LOVE YOU. OK. SO I'M READY. OKAY. BOARD MEMBER DANCE. THANK ALL OF YOU I DO FEEL HEARD AND I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT AND YOU KNOW I REALLY DO. I APPRECIATE IT. AND I THINK OFF DUTY YOU HEARD IT LOUD AND CLEAR. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH HIM IN THE FUTURE. OKAY PERFECT. I DON'T SEE ANY MORE REQUESTS TO SPEAK SO I'M JUST GONNA REITERATE THAT THE MOTION IS TO APPROVE WITH THE CONTINGENT THAT THE PUBLIC OUTREACH MEETING FOLLOW A PRESENTATION TO THE MPR WITH 3D RENDERINGS AND HAVE THE PUBLIC OUTREACH AFTER THAT DATE. IT WAS MADE BY MR. BLATTER AND SECONDED BY MRS. GOODE. ARE WE READY TO VOTE. YEAH. OKAY. LET US VOTE. MR. GREEN. OH JOHNSON. OKAY. AND YOU LEFT. MAYOR TRAN TELL US LEFT. OK. ALL RIGHT. IT'S APPROVED UNANIMOUSLY. TWENTY THREE VOTES IN FAVOR.

OKAY. MOVING ON TO THE THIRD ACTION ITEM COUNCILLOR WILL YOU PLEASE READ IT BY

[3. MOTION TO APPROVE the Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) Draft Tentative Five-year Work Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2020/21 - 2024/25]

TITLE. YES. A MOTION TO APPROVE THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE DRAFT TENTATIVE FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020 21 THROUGH 2024 25. OK THANK YOU. AND MISS WILLIAMS. THANK YOU VICTORIA WILLIAMS WITH FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE. LET'S GO OVER THE FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM FOR FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE. AS YOU KNOW THESE ARE PROJECTS THAT ARE FUNDED WITH TOLL REVENUE. AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING ON THE DISTRICT FOR HANDOUT INCLUDES A COUPLE OF THINGS THAT I'VE HEARD SOME GREAT COMMENTS ABOUT THE VERY LAST PAGE. PAGE 9 GIVES YOU A MAP AND IT SHOWS THE PROJECTS THROUGHOUT THOSE FIVE COUNTIES. BUT THE GOOD NEWS HERE IS BROWARD HAS THE LION'S SHARE OF DISTRICT FORCE TURNPIKE FUNDING. WE ALSO PROVIDE YOU WITH SOME ACRONYMS AND THAT'S ON PAGE 1 ALONG WITH THE PHASES FOR EACH PROJECT.

WHAT THAT REALLY MEANS EMV IS ENVIRONMENTAL AND SO ON. STARTING ON PAGE TWO BROWARD COUNTY PROJECTS THE MAJOR PROJECTS. LET'S START AT THE BOTTOM OF THE

[02:40:03]

SAWGRASS. THERE IS A WIDENING THAT INCLUDES SOME INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS AND THAT STARTS AT THE VERY BOTTOM GOING FROM SOUTH TO SUNRISE BOULEVARD TO SOUTH OF ATLANTIC. THIS PROJECT IS INCREASING THE NUMBER OF TRAVEL LANES FROM SIX TO 10 AND IT WILL INCLUDE TWO EXPRESS LANES IN EACH DIRECTION THAT WE PLAN TO IMPLEMENT UPON COMPLETION OF THE SAW GRASS WIDENING PROJECTS BETWEEN SUNRISE AND STATE ROAD 7. ASIDE FROM THOSE REGULAR PAVEMENT WIDENING WORK RECONSTRUCTION RESURFACING AND MILLING WE'RE GOING TO WORK ON SOME INTERCHANGES. SOUTHERN SUNRISE BOULEVARD MILEPOST 1. PAT SALERNO DRIVE MILEPOST TWO AND A HALF OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD AND COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD. WE'RE LOOKING ALSO AT PROVIDING A NEW INTERCHANGE AT NORTHWEST EIGHTH STREET. THAT WOULD BE LOCATED AT THE VERY BOTTOM A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF MILEPOST 1 SUNRISE. ON PAGE THREE YOU'LL SEE CONTINUING NORTH FROM ATLANTIC TO STATE ROAD 7. ANOTHER WIDENING FROM SIX TO 10 LANES WITH THE SAME PROPOSAL OF TWO EXPRESS LANES IN EACH DIRECTION TO BE IMPLEMENTED WHEN THE WIDENING WORK IS DONE. WE'RE LOOKING AT ENHANCING SOME INTERCHANGES THERE AS WELL SAMPLE ROAD CORAL RIDGE AND UNIVERSITY DRIVE. YOU'LL SEE THAT THE PROJECT JUST BELOW IT IS GOING TO BREAK OUT THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WE'RE GOING TO USE TO IMPROVE WEST ATLANTIC BOULEVARD INTERCHANGE AT MILEPOST 8. WE NEED TO DO SOME WORK THERE LOOKING AT ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT ENGINEERING SO THAT'S ALL SHOWN IN THE YEAR FISCAL YEAR OF 22. A LITTLE BIT OF RIDE AWAY MIGHT BE NEEDED THERE AND THE MAJORITY OF CONSTRUCTION FUNDING IN FISCAL YEAR 20 TO. PAGE 4 SHOWS YOUR RESURFACING AND AS YOU'RE PROBABLY AWARE THAT'S TO ENHANCE SAFETY. SO THAT'S AT THE TOP END OF SAWGRASS MILEPOST 19 TO 21. THE PARTICIPATION WITH DISTRICTS PROJECT ON THE SOUTHWEST 10 ST CONNECTOR IS THE NEXT ITEM IT JUST SHOWS OUR PARTICIPATION. WE HAD INITIALLY PUT THAT IN FISCAL YEAR 24 AND WE HAVE ADJUSTED IT. THAT'S WHAT YOU SEE NOW IS THE NEW HAND OUT TO MOVE THAT MONEY INTO FISCAL YEAR 23 AS WE ARE SIMPLY A PARTNER WITH DISTRICT IN THIS IMPORTANT PROJECT RESURFACING OF OUR MAINLINE GOT SOME MORE SAFETY ENHANCEMENTS COMING OUT. CAN WE WORK ON THAT RIGHT AWAY. DO OUR P.E. IN FISCAL YEAR 21 AND THE MAIN CONSTRUCTION IN FISCAL YEAR 22 THAT'S GOING FROM POMPANO SERVICE PLAZA WHICH IS WHERE TURNPIKE HAS MY OFFICE AND ABOUT EIGHT MILES SOUTH. SO THAT'S THE LOCATION OF THAT. IF ANYONE WANTS MORE DETAILS ABOUT PALM BEACH COUNTY PROJECTS THAT'S INCLUDED ON PAGE FIVE SIX AND SEVEN. SOME HIGHLIGHTS OF THAT ARE WE'RE GOING TO IMPROVE THE PLAZA TO ENHANCE PARKING IN WEST PALM AND DO SOME OTHER WIDENING EFFORTS IN THE NORTHERN END OF PALM BEACH COUNTY. ALL ELECTRONIC TOLLING IS A PROJECT THAT SPANS THE LENGTH OF THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE. THAT'S REMOVAL OF TOLL BOOTHS. AND WE'RE GOING CASHLESS AS YOU'RE WELL AWARE HERE IN BROWARD WE'VE BEEN ACTIVELY REMOVING THOSE TOLLBOOTHS COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AND WE'RE GOING TO TAKE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR OUR ENGINEERS TO ENHANCE SOME OF THOSE RAMPS. SOME OF THE ACCESS POINTS SO THAT IT'S NO LONGER A SINGLE POINT OF ENTRY THAT'S NEEDED FOR THE TOLLING TO OCCUR. WE'RE NOT GOING TO LET FOLKS HAND US CASH ANYMORE OUT THOSE IN THOSE BOOTHS AND THE BOOTHS. HOPEFULLY YOU WON'T HAVE TO SLOW DOWN TO NAVIGATE THEM. THIS GOES ALL THE WAY UP TO OUR MAIN LINE THREE LAKES TOLL PLAZA AND THAT INVOLVE 30 RAMPS. AND WHAT WE'RE HOPING THERE IS THAT FOLKS WILL RECOGNIZE THE BEST WAY TO PAY YOUR TOLL IS GOING TO BE WITH A PREPAID TOLL ACCOUNT USING A TRANSPONDER. YOU CAN USE ONE THAT IS FROM FLORIDA THE SUN PASS ACCOUNT OR GEORGIA OR NORTH CAROLINA QUICK PASS OR PEACH PASS.

THEY'RE ALL INTEROPERABLE. THOSE ARE THE ONLY STATES WHERE INTEROPERABLE WITH AT THIS POINT. BUT IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO USE THAT METHOD YOU'RE GOING TO BE BILLED TOLL BY PLATE AND THERE'S A HIGHER TOLL FEE AS WELL AS A SERVICE CHARGE INVOLVED. SO IF ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT OUR PROJECTS I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER. THERE ARE SOME QUESTIONS. FIRST UP FORMER CHAIR BUTNER I COULD RECYCLE THIS FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS BUT THE MOST AWKWARD INTERCHANGE SYSTEM IS ON HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD. IT NEVER SEEMS TO YOU I WOULD BE. I WOULD THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART IF THERE WAS ANYTHING ON IT THAT SAID PLANNING WILL BEGIN BUT THERE'S

[02:45:05]

NOTHING SO THAT YOU CAN TELL ME THAT WELL MAYBE WE'LL HIT IT NEXT YEAR BUT THERE HAS TO BE SOME REASON FOR ME TO GO BACK TO MY COMMISSION AND MY STAFF THAT I KNOW HAS BEEN POUNDING ON YOU PEOPLE AND SAY WE DIDN'T GET ANYTHING AGAIN. SO WHAT AM I GOING TO DO THIS YEAR. HOLLYWOOD AT MAINLINE OR AT SAWGRASS HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD THAT I 90 AT THE TURN BY AT THE MAINLINE TURNPIKE WELL. CHAIRMAN BLANTON I WANT TO GIVE YOU THE BEST INFO AND I DON'T KNOW IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD SO I'M GONNA HAVE TO BRING THAT ONE BACK. I APOLOGIZE. I WANT A PERSONAL CALL. OKAY.

ALL RIGHT. BOARD MEMBER AGAINST ONE OF THE THINGS I DON'T SEE ON HERE IS THE WIDENING OF THE TURNPIKE FROM HILLSBOROUGHUGH BOULEVARD UP INTO PALM BEACH COUNTY. I KNOW THERE'S BEEN SOME ISSUES WITH THAT. WE ARE DESPERATELY IN NEED OF A SOUND WALL. WE'VE BEEN TOLD THAT THE SOUND WHILE ONLY HAPPENS WHEN CONSTRUCTION HAPPENS.

CONSTRUCTION WAS READY TO GO AND THE SOUND WALL WAS GOING TO HAPPEN. BUT NOW I UNDERSTAND AND WE'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOR ABOUT 25 30 YEARS. SOMETHING ABOUT PROJECTS IN DEERFIELD BEACH IT SEEMS TO TAKE DECADES BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE A GAS LINE. THERE WAS SOME LITIGATION AND THERE WERE STILL SOME ISSUES SO THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE RIGHT AWAY. IS THAT SO. IS THAT EVER GOING TO HAPPEN MUCH LIKE FORFEITURE BLOTTERS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. THE TURNPIKE IS GOING TO PRESENT TO THIS BOARD NEXT MEETING THE RESULTS OF OUR PG&E STUDY OF WIDENING THE TURNPIKE FROM I FIVE NINETY FIVE TO WHILES. NOW THIS IS A DIFFERENT PD THIS STUDY THAN THE ATLANTIC TO WILES SEGMENT AND THAT PROJECT MANAGER WILL COME FULLY PREPARED TO GIVE YOU A PRESENTATION AT YOUR NEXT BOARD MEETING ABOUT THE STATUS THERE. BUT THE WILD WILD ROADS IS THE NORTHERN PORTION. YES IT'S WHERE IT ENDS. I'M TALKING ABOUT NORTH OF THERE. NORTH OF WILES ROAD NORTH OF TENTH STREET NORTH OF HILLSBOROUGH.

RIGHT. WE HAVE THE SEGMENT FUNDING FOR THE STOPPING AT WALLS AND I NEED TO RESEARCH FURTHER. YOU WERE SAYING GREG WHAT YOU HAD IN MIND ON THAT. YEAH ACTUALLY AND FROM WALLS ROAD NORTH END PALM BEACH IT'S GONNA BE ANOTHER PD ANY THAT THEY'RE GONNA BE WORKING ON WHICH WILL THEN ADDRESS THE SOUND WALLS AND AS WELL AS THE GAS LINE.

BUT THEIR PROJECT PEOPLE WILL BE HERE NEXT MONTH. WE'VE WE'VE ARRANGED FOR THAT AND THAT WILL BE GREAT FOR YOU TO BRING UP WHAT I CAN ALSO SAY IS THAT WE HAVE A TRENDS REPORT THAT WE ANALYZE AND UPDATE EVERY YEAR WITH OUR UNFUNDED NEEDS AND IT IS A HIGHLIGHT IN OUR UNFUNDED NEEDS. SO WE'RE LOOKING AT PERHAPS IN THE NEXT THE PERIOD OF FIVE TO 10 YEAR FROM TODAY THAT THIS COULD BE BECOME SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE FUNDED. WE HAVE IT IN OUR NEEDS AND THAT'S WHAT WE NORMALLY LOOK AT. ALONG WITH THE THOSE PRIORITIES TO FUND. SO I APPRECIATE YOU BRINGING THAT UP AND I'M GONNA BRING IT BACK TO OUR HEADQUARTERS. AND MAYOR BY THAT TIME YOU'LL BE JOINING ME IN THE GRAY HAIR CLUB THAT'S ON THE WAY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION. BOARD MEMBERS. THANK YOU. CRT CRT ARTEMIS MAIDEN NAME WAS FAR WORSE. JUST SO I HAVE A QUICK QUESTION ON SIGNAGE FOR THE CITY'S FOUR EXITS. IS THERE ANY CONSIDERATION OR ANY PLANS FOR THAT. ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW A LOT OF CITIES HAVE CHANGED THEIR LOGOS THEY'RE MODERNIZING THAT LOOK. A LOT OF THE EXITS ON 95 FOR EXAMPLE AND THINGS LIKE THAT.

I'M WONDERING IF THERE'S ANYTHING THAT'S BEING THOUGHT OF MAYBE FOR AN OVERPASS AND AN EXIT FOR EXAMPLE COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD IS REALLY TAMARACK IN NORTH LAUDERDALE IS IS THE CLOSE ARE THE CLOSEST CITIES THERE. BUT THERE ARE OTHERS TO THE EAST OR YOU KNOW HOWEVER YOU HAVE IT. IS THERE ANY THOUGHT BEHIND THAT OR ANY PLANS FOR THAT. I CAN GET THAT PROJECT MANAGER TO GIVE ME AN ANSWER ABOUT WHAT GOES INTO IT. I DO ALSO HAVE CONTACT THAT THE F.DOT SIGNAGE AREA. THERE ARE SOME VERY DETAILED CRITERIA ABOUT WHAT SIGNS CAN GO ON THE TURNPIKE. BUT NORMALLY THERE THERE'S THIS KIND OF INTERACTION. WHEN WE COME IN INDIVIDUALLY DO OUR OUTREACH MEETINGS BEFORE PROJECTS. PLANNING IS COMPLETED.

HAVE DOWN HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA FROM THE NORTHEAST HAVE YOU GIVEN ANY CONSIDERATION TO COOPERATING WITH THE EASY PASS THAT'S SO PREVALENT IN NEW YORK NEW JERSEY THAT PENNSYLVANIA. YES I'D BE HAPPY TO TELL YOU LITTLE INFO ABOUT THAT THANK YOU FOR ASKING. SUN PASS HAS BEEN TRYING TO MAKE THEIR TRANSPONDERS INTEROPERABLE NATIONWIDE. THERE IS A FEDERAL LAW THAT REQUIRES IT FROM THE STATES THAT WE HAVE OUR PROGRAMS TO BE ABLE TO WORK WITH EACH OTHER. THE NORTHEAST E Z PASS SYSTEM IS HUGE. IT'S VERY LARGE. THERE IS A SMALL LOCAL TOLLING AUTHORITY IN FLORIDA. E PASS AND IT IS IN ORLANDO CENTRAL FLORIDA EXPRESSWAY. THEY SELL A TRANSPONDER THAT SEND OR OPERABLE WITH EASY PASS AND IT'S NOT THE SUN PASS BUT YOU KNOW FULL DISCLOSURE. THEY WENT AHEAD AND MADE IT HAPPEN. WE HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO THAT AT SOME PASS. I WAS AT THAT WONDERFUL SON TRACKS THE NEW ELECTRIC ELECTRONIC VIEW AND CONNECTED VEHICLE FACILITY WHERE I ASKED SOME OF THOSE FOLKS INVOLVED HOW LONG AND THEY WERE NOT OPTIMISTIC ABOUT IT HAPPENING VERY SOON. IS IT A QUESTION OF THE DEVICE ITSELF OR JUST THE AGREEMENT WITH THE OTHER JURISDICTION. IT'S A LITTLE OF BOTH. AND SO TO FIX THE DEVICE PROBLEM THE TRI READER PROCESS WHERE THESE OVERHEAD GANTRY IS NEED THREE WAYS TO HEAR THE TRANSPONDER SOME PASS TOOK THE INITIATIVE TO REPLACE ALL ACCOUNT HOLDERS TRANSPONDERS FOR FREE. THAT HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND I THINK ANY ACCOUNT HOLDER WOULD REMEMBER THAT OF COURSE I MISS THE BEEP ON MY OLD ONE USE TELL ME WHEN THE TOLL WAS TAKEN. BUT TO SAVE COST WE MADE ARES COMPLIANT BUT NOW RIGHT NOW IT'S NOT SOMETHING THAT WE'RE SEEING NOW OPTIMISTICALLY IS HAPPENING VERY SOON. BUT YOUR RESOLVE ON THAT WOULD BE IF YOU CARE TO PUT YOUR MONEY INTO A PREPAID TOLL ACCOUNT AT CENTRAL FLORIDA EXPRESSWAY. IT IS STILL TOTALLY INTEROPERABLE WITH ALL OF FLORIDA. THANK YOU. YES I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO KEEP WORKING ON IT. THANK YOU. THANKS. THANK YOU. BOARD MEMBER SHARIF I'M JUST HERE.
