[1. MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District Four Draft Tentative Work Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 - 2031]

ON THE SECOND PAGE. SO THE FIRST ACTION ITEM IS MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT FOUR DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM

[00:05:02]

FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027 TO 2031.

AND WE HAVE VICTORIA PETERS FROM FLORIDA'S DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION, WHO WILL BE PRESENTING.

HI. GOOD EVENING. THANK YOU SO MUCH, CHAIR.

MY NAME IS VICTORIA PETERS FROM DISTRICT FOUR, FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT THIS EVENING.

VERY EXCITING NEWS. AND THIS WORK PROGRAM.

SO WE START OUT WITH OUR COVER PAGE, SOME LOCAL PICTURES, AND THEN WE START OUT WITH SOMETHING I'M VERY FOND OF. THAT'S THE DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM. WE'LL THAT KIND OF GIVES YOU AN IDEA OF HOW IT FLOWS.

SO HERE WE ARE IN THE TOP RIGHT WHERE IT SAYS JULY THROUGH OCTOBER.

WE ARE PREPARING THE COORDINATION.

WE'VE ALREADY DONE THAT WITH YOUR MPO STAFF.

WE HAVE BALANCED THE DRAFT TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM TO THE ALLOCATIONS THAT WE RECEIVED.

AND NOW WE ARE PRESENTING THE DRAFT TENTATIVE TO ALL THE COMMITTEES YOURSELF AND THEN ONWARD TO THE BOARD. SOMETHING EXCITING IS TOMORROW NIGHT.

DISTRICT FOUR HAS THEIR PUBLIC HEARING.

YOU CAN VIEW IT TWO WAYS.

YOU CAN COME IN PERSON DOWN AT 3400 WEST COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD AT OUR DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS AT THE AUDITORIUM THAT IS OCTOBER 23RD, WHICH IS AT 630. LATER ON IN THIS PRESENTATION, YOU'LL HAVE A QR CODE AND IT WILL GUIDE YOU TO THE REGISTRATION AND ALSO HOW TO ATTEND VIRTUALLY IF YOU'D LIKE TO, IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT IN PERSON.

SO THEN WE MOVE ON TO DECEMBER AND DECEMBER.

WE SUBMIT THE TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM.

SO THE DRAFT BECOMES A TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM ONCE IT'S VETTED AND SUBMITTED.

AND THEN IT GOES OFF TO THE GOVERNOR AND THE LEGISLATURE AND THE FLORIDA TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION, BETTER KNOWN AS THE FTC AND THE DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE.

THEN IT MOVES ON TO JANUARY, WHERE WE HAVE THE PUBLIC HEARINGS.

THE LEGISLATURE CONVENES, AND THEN THE FINAL TENTATIVE DRAFT WORK PROGRAM IS SUBMITTED TO THE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICE FOR HIS APPROVAL.

AND THEN AFTER THE STATE LEGISLATURE AND THE GOVERNOR APPROVES ON JULY 1ST, OUR DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY ALSO APPROVES IT.

AND THIS DRAFT BECOMES THE FINAL APPROVED WORK PROGRAM.

AND THEN THE CYCLE STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. AND THAT'S WHY IT'S ALWAYS SHOWN IN THIS WHEEL.

AND OF COURSE, JUST SO YOU KNOW, OUR CYCLE FOLLOWS THE LEGISLATIVE CYCLE.

SO IT'S A LITTLE SOONER THIS YEAR.

MAYBE YOU REMEMBER LAST YEAR WE WERE HERE IN LIKE DECEMBER. SO WHEN THE LEGISLATURE CONVENES SOONER, WE HAVE TO GET IT READY TO PRESENT TO THEM SOONER.

SO HERE WE ARE. AND THEN JUST SOME UPDATES THAT WE HAVE WITH WHAT WE HAVE BEEN GOING THROUGH OUR WORK PROGRAM AND D FOUR.

SO THIS IS JUST STARTING UP AT THE TOP LEFT F DOT YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY EVERY MONTH IT SAYS ON AN ANNUAL BASIS THAT WE UPDATE CONSTRUCTION AND RIGHT OF WAY COSTS. BUT A LOT OF OUR PROJECT MANAGERS AND WE, YOU KNOW, UPDATE IT ON A REGULAR BASIS.

ALL THOSE COSTS INCREASES.

OVERALL PROJECT COSTS DID INCREASE IN RESPECT TO LAST YEAR.

FUNDING ALLOCATIONS WERE LOWER THIS CYCLE.

WE CALL IT A CYCLE WORK PROGRAM CYCLE THIS YEAR.

THEY WERE LOWER THIS YEAR THAN THE PRIOR YEARS.

CHANGES OCCURRED IN THE REVENUE PROJECTIONS FROM MOST RECENT REVENUE ESTIMATING CONFERENCE, WHICH IMPACTED OUR ULTIMATE ALLOCATIONS, WHICH THEY GIVE TO US TO PROGRAM THE PROJECTS WITH.

SO OUR GOAL IS THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION IS TO MAINTAIN PROJECTS THAT ARE ALREADY COMMITTED IN THE FIRST FOUR YEARS.

THOSE ARE CALLED THE COMMON FIRST FOUR YEARS RELATED TO SAFETY, PRESERVATION AND MAINTENANCE.

NEW PHASES OR NEW PROJECTS ARE GENERALLY PROGRAMED IN THE NEW FIFTH YEAR.

AND THIS YEAR, OUR NEW FIFTH YEAR IS FISCAL YEAR 31.

SO THE WHOLE FIVE YEARS IS FY 27 TO FY 31, WITH 31 BEING THE NEW FISCAL YEAR, AND WE'RE REALLY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE THE DISTRICT FOR WORK PROGRAM IS BALANCED TO THE ALLOCATIONS WHICH WE RECEIVED.

SO STARTING OFF WITH SOME PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS IN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.

THE LOP OR LIST OF PROJECTS.

NUMBER 12 FIBER INSTALLATION ALONG THE SFRC CORRIDOR.

FEASIBILITY STUDY WAS PROGRAMED FOR ALMOST $1 MILLION.

AND WE RECOGNIZE THAT FIBER IS A VERY IMPORTANT PRIORITY FOR BROWARD AND FIBER BEING THE BACKBONE OF OPERATIONS AND SFRC AND THEN WE GO MOVE ON TO HIGHWAYS AND FREIGHT.

SO NUMBER FOUR IS POWERLINE ROAD FROM SOUTHWEST 10TH STREET TO BROWARD PALM BEACH COUNTY LINE. WE CURRENTLY HAVE A FEASIBILITY STUDY WHICH IS ONGOING.

AND WE PROGRAM THIS YEAR A PDE, WHICH WILL START IN FY 29 FOR $2 MILLION.

THE NUMBER FIVE STATE ROAD SEVEN.

AT COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, WE HAVE A P.D.A, WHICH STARTS IN CURRENT YEAR, WHICH IS FY 26 FOR $2 MILLION.

NEWLY PROGRAMED IS A DESIGN PHASE, WHICH WILL START IN FISCAL YEAR 31 FOR $3.5 MILLION. THIS SCOPE MAY INCLUDE WIDENING SIDEWALK AND BIKE LANES.

ONWARD FOR NUMBER SEVEN, WE HAVE SHERIDAN STREET FROM DIXIE HIGHWAY TO

[00:10:05]

US. TO US ONE. SO WE HAVE AN ONGOING FEASIBILITY STUDY.

AND THE SCOPE FOR THAT IS BIKE LANES AND SIDEWALKS.

WE HAVE A P, D AND E FUNDED IN.

OH THANK YOU. AND WE HAVE A P, D AND E FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR 2829.

AND THIS YEAR, NEWLY FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR 31 FOR $1.1 MILLION OF THE DESIGN PHASE.

WE ALSO HAVE OAKLAND PARK AT STATE ROAD SEVEN.

THE FEASIBILITY STUDY IS ACTUALLY ONGOING NOW, AND WE HAVE A PD THAT WAS DEFERRED TO FISCAL YEAR 27 FOR $2 MILLION.

NUMBER 15 WAS COPANS. COPANS ROAD GRADE SEPARATION AND SFR.

AND THAT IS FEASIBILITY STUDY BEING DEFERRED FROM FISCAL YEAR 27 TO 28.

THAT WAS ALSO DEFERRED.

SO WE MAY ACCESS SPECIAL GRANT FUNDING.

AND WE'RE WAITING FOR FEASIBILITY RESULTS TO MOVE FORWARD.

NUMBER 16 EAST ORANGE DRIVE FROM DAVIE ROAD TO STATE ROAD SEVEN.

WE HAVE A FEASIBILITY STUDY ALREADY PROGRAMED FOR FY 28 THIS YEAR.

WE FUNDED THE DESIGN PHASE IN FISCAL YEAR 31 FOR $610,000.

THE SCOPE MAY INCLUDE ADDING A CENTER TURN LANE AND LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS.

LOP NUMBER 17 IS SOUTHWEST, 1/48 AVENUE FROM BASS CREEK TO MIRAMAR PARKWAY. WE CURRENTLY HAD A P, D AND E HAVE A PDE STUDY IN FISCAL YEAR 27.

NEW THIS CYCLE WE'VE ADDED THE DESIGN PHASE.

WE FUNDED IT IN FISCAL YEAR 30 FOR $1.7 MILLION.

JUST CONTINUING ON TO SOME MORE PRIORITIES.

WE ARE AT NUMBER 19 AT ATLANTIC BOULEVARD, AT STATE ROAD SEVEN, AND WE PROGRAMED A FEASIBILITY STUDY THIS CYCLE IN FISCAL YEAR 31 FOR $300,000.

OAKLAND PARK AT POWERLINE ROAD.

WE ADDED SOME FUNDING.

WE ADDED SOME FUNDING TO THE SCOPE, TO AN ALREADY EXISTING PROJECT, TO THE AMOUNT OF $300,000.

DANIA BEACH BOULEVARD FROM US ONE TO A ONE A.

WE PROGRAMED A FEASIBILITY STUDY IN FISCAL YEAR 29 FOR $300,000.

AND THEN THIS PROPERTY UNDER HIGHWAYS AND FREIGHTS IS WAS NUMBER SEVEN IN THE LOP LIST FROM CALENDAR YEAR 24 IS MIRAMAR PARKWAY FROM SOUTHWEST 1/72 AVENUE TO DIKES ROAD.

WE FUNDED THE DESIGN IN FISCAL YEAR 29 FOR $800,000.

NOW WE HAVE SOME INFRASTRUCTURE HARDENING PROJECTS.

WE WERE ABLE TO FUND FEASIBILITY STUDIES FOR THESE VARIOUS LOCATIONS WITHIN OUR FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM, TOTALING ALMOST $3 MILLION FOR THE LIST THAT WE HAVE HERE, INCLUDING HALLANDALE BEACH BOULEVARD ATLANTIC FROM UNIVERSITY DRIVE TO STATE ROAD 869, ANOTHER ATLANTIC STUDY FROM US ONE TO A1, A OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD FROM STATE ROAD SEVEN TO I-95, UNIVERSITY DRIVE FROM ATLANTIC BOULEVARD TO COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD, AND ALSO UNIVERSITY DRIVE FROM SUNRISE BOULEVARD TO BROWARD BOULEVARD.

AND WE HAVE MORE INFRASTRUCTURE HARDENING PROJECTS.

WHAT WE WERE ABLE TO DO THIS YEAR, WHICH IS I THINK WAS VERY INNOVATIVE, WAS WE HAD A LOT OF REQUESTS FOR CONVERTING TRAFFIC SIGNAL SPAN WIRES TO MAST ARMS. WE WERE ACTUALLY, I THINK, ABLE TO PROGRAM ALL OF THEM.

SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE SPLIT THEM UP TO OFF SYSTEM AND ON SYSTEM, AND WE GROUPED OUR, OUR ENGINEERS ACTUALLY WORKED ON GROUPING THE LOCATIONS, WHICH MADE SENSE. SO THE PAGE YOU'RE LOOKING AT NOW ARE ALL SYSTEM LOCATIONS.

WE WERE ACTUALLY ABLE TO FUND A COUPLE OF PHASES.

WE HAVE THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR 27 FOR A HALF A MILLION.

AND THEN THE DESIGN PHASE WAS ALSO FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR 29 FOR 1.3 MILLION.

THAT'S FOR THE LOCATIONS LISTED ON THIS PAGE.

AND THEN WE GROUPED THE SIGNAL SPAN WIRES TO MAST ARMS FOR ON SYSTEM LOCATIONS.

WE PUT THE DESIGN IN FISCAL YEAR 31 AT $300,000.

THE GROUPING THAT YOU SEE HERE, WHICH ARE QUITE A QUITE A FEW.

THEN WE MOVE ON TO THE PROJECTS THAT THAT REQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY OR WE ANTICIPATE THAT WILL REQUIRE RIGHT OF WAY.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS FOR CONVERTING TRAFFIC SIGNALS SPAN WIRES TO MAST ARM.

THESE ARE ON SYSTEM LOCATIONS ON THIS PAGE WHERE RIGHT OF WAY IS REQUIRED.

WE PUT DESIGN IN FISCAL YEAR 31 IN THE AMOUNT OF $1.3 MILLION.

AND THEN WE HAVE SOME CIS CIS, THE STRATEGIC INTERMODAL SYSTEM.

WE HAVE SOME STRATEGIC I MEAN, I'M SORRY, CIS PROGRAM CHANGES.

[00:15:03]

THE FIRST ONE IS FORT LAUDERDALE-HOLLYWOOD INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT.

AUTOMATED PEOPLE MOVER FUNDING WAS ADVANCED TO FISCAL YEAR 27 FOR $20 MILLION.

AND THEN WE HAVE SEVERAL DEFERRALS.

THE PROJECTS, OF COURSE, ARE STILL IN THE PROGRAM. IT WOULD BE A PHASE THAT WAS DEFERRED I-95 RAMPS FROM COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TO NORTH ANDREWS AVENUE FRONTAGE ROAD. THE RIGHT OF WAY PHASE WAS DEFERRED TO FISCAL YEAR 30 I-95 FROM COMMERCIAL BOULEVARD TO NORTH OF CYPRESS CREEK.

THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE WAS DEFERRED TO FISCAL YEAR 32.

I-95 FROM MIAMI DADE COUNTY LINE TO GRIFFIN ROAD.

THESE INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS, DESIGN AND RIGHT OF WAY PHASES HAVE BEEN DEFERRED TO FISCAL YEAR 36 AND I-95 FROM PEMBROKE ROAD TO HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.

THE INTERCHANGE TO ADD LANES RIGHT OF WAY PHASE IS DEFERRED TO FY 36, AND I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE CIS IS REALLY THE STATE PROGRAM.

IT'S TALLAHASSEE'S PROGRAM, AND WE ALWAYS PRIORITIZE ACCORDING TO OUR VETTING, HOW WE WORK WITH THE LOCALS AND WHAT WE CAN DO.

SO THIS YEAR, THE CIS DID TAKE A BIT OF AN ALLOCATION HIT.

AND OUR DEFERRALS PRIMARILY RESULTED AS A REDUCTION IN ALLOCATIONS.

AND THE STATEWIDE REPRIORITIZATION.

BUT PLEASE NOTE THESE WERE NOT DELETED.

IT WAS A PHASE THAT WAS DEFERRED.

AND MANY TIMES THE PHASES ARE ALSO DEFERRED NOT JUST FOR FUNDING, BUT BECAUSE THEY START WORKING ON THE SCOPE.

THEY REALIZE THEY HAVE TO CIRCLE BACK, MAYBE REACH OUT TO THE LOCALS, LOOK AT OTHER ALTERNATIVES.

AND MANY TIMES IT IS FUNDING.

SO THOSE ARE JUST, YOU KNOW, SOME OF THE THINGS THAT WE SEE WHEN WE WORK WITH THE CIS. SO ADDITIONALLY, SOME OTHER FUNDED PROJECTS I THINK IS VERY GOOD. IT GIVES OUR COMMITMENT TO SAFETY.

IF YOU LOOK AT THIS PAGE, WE HAVE SOME FUNDED SOME VERY GOOD PROJECTS.

WE HAVE ADVANCED A WRONG WAY DRIVING DETECTION SYSTEM, WHICH THERE'S SOME HIGH PRIORITY LOCATIONS FOR BROWARD COUNTY.

THE I 95 RAMPS. WE HAVE ADVANCED THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE TO FY 26 FOR $2.4 MILLION.

I 75 ALLIGATOR ALLEY ELECTRONIC TOLLING CONVERSIONS.

THE CONSTRUCTION IS IN 28 FOR $10.5 MILLION.

AND THEN THE MAST ARM REPLACEMENT PROJECTS FOR BROWARD COUNTY.

WE HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY STARTING IN FISCAL YEAR 26.

THAT WAS ADDED FOR 1.3 MILLION.

AND THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE FOR THE BROWARD MAST ARMS IS 20 AND FY 28 FOR ALMOST 5 MILLION. AND WE ALSO HAVE A REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION MANAGEMENT CENTER WHERE WE HAVE THE DESIGN STARTING IN FISCAL YEAR 26 FOR 4.5 MILLION.

AND WE HAVE THE CONSTRUCTION PHASE IN 29 FOR 38 MILLION.

OKAY. AND THEN THIS IS AGAIN THE WORK PROGRAM PUBLIC HEARING PAGE.

IF YOU FOLKS WOULD LIKE TO JOIN US IT IS TOMORROW NIGHT AT 630.

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO CAN'T JOIN IN PERSON, YOU CAN.

EVEN IF YOU WANT, YOU CAN SCAN THIS QR CODE NOW OR WHATEVER.

AND I THINK IT'S ONLINE TOO.

AND YOU CAN REGISTER THERE AND ATTEND VIRTUALLY.

WE'RE EXCITED FOR HOPEFULLY A BIG TURNOUT THIS YEAR.

WE FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS WORK PROGRAM.

WE DID HAVE A REDUCTION IN ALLOCATIONS AND SOME OTHER SOME OTHER REDUCTIONS, BUT DESPITE THAT, WE HAVE A REALLY GOOD, STRONG WORK PROGRAM THAT SPEAKS, I THINK, TO OUR COMMITMENT OF SAFETY AND WORKING WITH YOUR MPO, WHO WORKS VERY HARD TO ADVANCE YOUR PRIORITIES.

AND I'LL TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.

I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY ALSO TO PRESENT TONIGHT.

WE APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU. SURE.

MICHAEL. HELLO. OKAY. GOOD EVENING.

VICTORIA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DETAILED PRESENTATION.

AND I HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS.

AND IF YOU DON'T HAVE THE ANSWER RIGHT AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

AND THERE'S A LOT OF DATA HERE.

PERHAPS YOU COULD GET BACK TO THE GROUP THROUGH THE CHAIR AND THE CAC AND THE MPO LATER AT SOME FUTURE DATE I-95 AND INTERCHANGES WERE MENTIONED TO DEFER TO FISCAL YEAR. 2036. HOWEVER, I'M WONDERING IF THE PACKAGE WE ARE VOTING ON HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH GOING AHEAD WITH THE DESIGN AS PRESENTED LAST TIME FROM FDOT TO THIS BOARD, AND THE FINANCIAL PROJECT ID NUMBER IS 439170-1-22-2 AND FEDERAL

[00:20:02]

ID NUMBER D AS IN DELTA 421 DASH 105, B AS IN BRAVO.

SO THAT'S THE AREA ON I-95 SOUTH OF TAFT STREET DOWN TO THE DADE COUNTY LINE, INCLUDING THE THREE INTERCHANGES THAT HAVE BEEN DEFERRED AT HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD, PEMBROKE ROAD AND HALLANDALE BEACH BOULEVARD.

AND I'M SO SORRY, SIR.

IS YOUR QUESTION IS SPECIFICALLY FOR THE DESIGN.

IF THERE'S SOMETHING THAT HAS CHANGED IN THE DESIGN WHICH CAUSED IT TO BE DEFERRED? NO. ARE THEY GOING TO CONTINUE WITH THE DESIGN AND, AND ESTIMATING THE, THE COST AND THE, SO FORTH OF THESE IMPROVEMENTS AS, AS THE DEFERMENT IS IN FORCE.

DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? I THINK IF I, IF I COULD THROUGH THE CHAIR.

SO NORMALLY DOT FOR JUST ABOUT ALL THEIR PROJECTS, CERTAINLY SIGNIFICANT ONES LIKE THIS, THEY REVIEW THEIR COST ESTIMATES PRETTY MUCH ON AN ANNUAL BASIS. SO I THINK YOU CAN REST ASSURED THAT DURING THE DEFER DEFERMENT PERIOD, THEY WILL CONTINUE TO YOU KNOW, LOOK AT THEIR COST ESTIMATES.

I SEE WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. UPDATE THOSE AS NECESSARY.

WELL. MY, WHAT I WAS TRYING TO GET AT IS THAT THE THESE WHAT I SEE IS SOMEWHAT OTHER THAN AN IMPROVEMENT IN THE CASE OF THE THREE INTERCHANGES AND ESPECIALLY THE LANES THE WAY THEY'RE CONFIGURED.

I UNDERSTAND THERE BE SOME PEOPLE CALL THEM BRAIDED LANES.

AND THE DESIGN ALSO APPEARS TO PUT AN INCREASING BURDEN ON HALLANDALE BEACH BOULEVARD THAT WOULD PRESENTLY GO TO PEMBROKE ROAD SOUTHBOUND AND CONVERSELY, NORTHBOUND, THAT WOULD GO TO PEMBROKE ROAD.

THE EXTRA LANES WILL DUMP ONTO HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.

AND THEN THERE'S THE QUESTION OF THE PARALLEL AT GRADE CROSSINGS WITH THE SOUTH FLORIDA RAIL CORRIDOR. SO THOSE ARE TWO ITEMS. AND THE THIRD, OF COURSE, IS WHEN ALL WAS SAID AND DONE, AS WE WERE PRESENTED TO BEFORE THE THE LEVEL OF CONGESTION WOULD BE D START OF CONSTRUCTION AND AT THE FINISH OF CONCLUSION OF CONSTRUCTION, IT WOULD BE LEVEL SERVICE.

D SO AGAIN, THE QUESTION IS, AND YOU DON'T HAVE TO ANSWER THIS RIGHT AWAY.

ARE YOU GOING TO DO IS THE STATE GOING TO ADHERE TO THE DESIGN AS PRESENTED IN THE LAST MEETING TO THIS BOARD? CAN I, CAN I ASK, SIR, WHEN WAS THE LAST MEETING? THAT WAS IT. MAYBE A PROJECT MANAGER THAT CAME.

SO I WANT TO MAKE SURE WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE SAME PROJECTS, BECAUSE THE PROJECTS THAT WERE DEFERRED ARE FURTHER NORTH OR RIGHT AROUND HERE ON I-95.

WHAT I THINK YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT IS SOUTH OF 595 TO THE MIAMI DADE COUNTY LINE.

YES. OKAY. SO THAT PROJECT IS ATTACHED, I BELIEVE, THIS EVENING AS AS A ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM AT THE BOTTOM.

OR MAYBE THAT JUST WENT TO THE.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU KNOW WHAT? IT DID NOT COME HERE, BUT THAT PROJECT IS IF YOU LOOK AT OUR BOARD AGENDA FOR NEXT THURSDAY, YOU WILL SEE THE LATEST AND GREATEST FROM THE PROJECT MANAGER AT FDOT.

MY UNDERSTANDING IS THAT FDOT HAS BEEN MEETING WITH ALL THE CITIES ALONG THAT STRETCH OF 95, AND THEY HAVE REACHED A CONSENSUS ON A CONCEPT FOR WHAT THOSE IMPROVEMENTS ARE GOING TO LOOK LIKE. THAT IS NOT REALLY A CORE PART OF THIS DISCUSSION TONIGHT. ON THE TIP THAT THAT'S BILL, I WAS PROVIDED WITH THIS INFORMATION FOR HIM TO COME TO ATTEND THE MEETING.

WERE THERE GOING TO BE DISCUSSING IT ON THE 29TH? I DON'T KNOW. I DON'T KNOW IF HE KNOWS ABOUT THIS MEETING.

WHAT? OH, YEAH. PROVIDED THAT MICHAEL PROVIDED THAT TO YOU.

YES. AND THAT CAME FROM WHERE DID THIS COME FROM, MICHAEL? I CAME FROM MICHAEL.

I BELIEVE LAST TIME. IF I CAN CLEAR THIS UP SOMEWHAT.

LESLIE WEATHERALL WAS THE PRESENTER FOR THAT.

YES. SO AFTER THAT PRESENTATION, LESLIE WAS NOT ABLE TO BE HERE.

[00:25:06]

WE WOUND UP HAVING TO SKIP HER PRESENTATION DURING THE BOARD.

AND SO THERE WERE CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN MYSELF AND OTHERS WITH WITH THE DISTRICT STAFF. THE DECISION WAS TAKEN TO PROVIDE THE INFORMATION ON THAT PROJECT AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM ONLY, AND I MY APOLOGIES.

I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS ALSO GOING TO BE PART OF THE CAC AGENDA, BUT NO, ONLY ON THE BOARD.

IT WAS. SO AGAIN, IF I COULD MR. SMITH, POINT YOU TO THE MPO BOARD AGENDA PACKAGE, WHICH WILL BE PUBLISHED TOMORROW, I BELIEVE.

REBECCA, TOMORROW. YES.

SO THE THE THE INFORMATION, ALL THE BACKUP, THE PRESENTATION FROM MISS WEATHERALL WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE MPO BOARD PACKAGE THAT WILL BE PUBLISHED TOMORROW.

AND IF YOU LOOK DOWN TO THE BOTTOM, IT WILL BE AN ADMINISTRATIVE ITEM, BUT THE FULL PRESENTATION WILL BE THERE.

BUT AGAIN, MY UNDERSTANDING FROM TALKING TO HER IS THAT THEY HAVE RESOLVED THE OUTSTANDING CONCERNS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.

I THINK THAT'S BEEN ALMOST A TWO YEAR PROCESS.

AND I THINK THERE'S GENERAL CONSENSUS NOW ON THE OVERALL CONCEPT THAT WILL BE MOVING FORWARD WITH ARE WE IS THE VOTE TONIGHT PART OF THAT CONSENSUS? I'M SORRY, IS THE WHAT TONIGHT IS THE VOTE.

OUR VOTE THIS BOARD'S VOTE TONIGHT PART OF THAT CONSENSUS.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROJECT IS IN THE TIPI DON'T OR I'M SORRY THE DRAFT TENTATIVE.

I DON'T THINK IT'S IN THE DRAFT. TENTATIVE I DON'T THINK SO EITHER.

SO WHERE THE WHERE THE PROJECT IT'S GOING THROUGH THE THE PA PROCESS.

SO I DON'T THINK ANY ANY FURTHER ADDITIONAL PHASES HAVE BEEN FUNDED.

AND I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING IN THE TIP. WE WENT THROUGH THIS 600 PAGES GUYS.

WE WE SPENT HOURS. WE WENT THROUGH EVERY ONE.

AND I'M PRETTY SURE I WOULD REMEMBER THAT ONE, BUT I, I, I CAN'T GUARANTEE IT BECAUSE IT WAS 600 PAGES.

WELL, I MIGHT HAVE, I MIGHT HAVE DOZED OFF AT ONE POINT, I DON'T KNOW. YOU KNOW, BILL, I CAN CHECK TONIGHT OR LATER AND I CAN DO A CONTROL F, AND IF I SEE IT, I CAN LET YOU KNOW AND LET YOU KNOW WHAT PROJECT WAS WAS. AND I CAN EVEN ASK LESLIE IF WE HAVE ANY FUTURE PHASES PROGRAMED ON THIS.

BUT I THINK WHERE IT'S AT RIGHT NOW, I DON'T THINK WE HAVE ANY FUTURE PHASES PROGRAMED. IF THERE WERE A QUESTION, I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND SOME WITH THE CHAIR'S PERMISSION. I WOULD LIKE TO AMEND ANY VOTE THAT WE TAKE TONIGHT THAT WOULD RESTRICT OR OR REMOVE ANY CONSENT FROM THE THE THREE PROJECT AND THE THE PROJECT FEDERAL NUMBERS THAT I USED TO REMOVE THAT FROM ANY CONSENT OF OUR.

WELL, IF I UNDERSTAND CORRECTLY, WHAT WAS TOLD IS THAT IT IS NOT PART OF THIS THE INFORMATION THAT WE'RE GOING TO BE VOTING ON.

VERY WELL, THAT SETTLES THAT.

THANK YOU. ALRIGHTY. MAX.

HI, VICTORIA. JUST A QUICK COMMENT AND A QUICK QUESTION OVER HERE.

THANK YOU. SO I'M GOING TO BE AT THE MEETING TOMORROW, SO MAYBE WE CAN TALK IN MORE DETAIL TOMORROW SO THAT WE DON'T DRAG ON THIS MEETING.

I JUST DID A QUICK CONTROL F THROUGH THE WHOLE DOCUMENT A COUPLE DAYS AGO TO SEE IF I HAD THE PROJECTS THAT I WANTED TO SEE IN THERE BASICALLY.

AND I DIDN'T SEE THE FEASIBILITY STUDY FOR ELECTRIFICATION OF THE SFQ, WHICH IS ON THE BROWARD MPOS LOP.

I JUST PERSONALLY WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SEE THAT IN THERE. AND THEN MY QUESTION IS WHEN THE COUNTY DOES A PROJECT ON FDOT OWNED RIGHT OF WAY, DOES IT HAVE TO SHOW UP IN THE WORK PROGRAM? THE REASON WHY I ASK IS THE BROAD PRIMO PLAN, RIGHT? WE'RE GOING TO BUILD A BUNCH OF BRT AND LIGHT RAILS, AND THEY'RE ALL BASICALLY ON STATE ROADS. AND I DIDN'T SEE ANY OF THOSE PROJECTS ON THE WORK PROGRAM.

SO I JUST DON'T KNOW IF FDOT HAS TO INCLUDE THEM IN THIS DOCUMENT.

I WILL FIND THAT OUT FOR YOU.

THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

I WILL FIND THAT OUT FOR YOU, MAX. YEAH.

I'LL ASK I'LL ASK OUR WORK PROGRAM.

AND I WANTED TO GO BACK TO THE ELECTRIFICATION.

WE DID, WE REALLY, REALLY VETTED.

WE LOOKED THROUGH ALL OF THE IT'S UNDER THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SECTION THE ELECTRIFICATION. AND WE ARE LOOKING AT SYSTEMS AS A WHOLE.

WE ARE ALSO WE HAVE SOME NEW DIRECTION AS FAR AS PROGRAMING GOES IT'S BASICALLY VALUE TO EVERY DOLLAR SPENT. NOT THAT THERE'S NO VALUE IN ELECTRIFICATION OF THE, OF THAT, BUT WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO LOOK AND SEE HOW WE'RE GOING TO FUND CONSTRUCTION.

SO I BELIEVE THAT HAD A VERY BIG BECAUSE I WORKED ON THESE PROJECTS, I DON'T HAVE IT OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD, BUT I BELIEVE THAT HAD A VERY BIG

[00:30:02]

CONSTRUCTION DOLLAR AMOUNT TO IT.

SO WE CAN'T THAT WAS, I THINK THAT WAS THE HESITATION IS WE LOOKED AT THAT DOLLAR AMOUNT, BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE SOME INFORMATION FOR YOU FOR THAT. BUT IT'S IN MY IT'S I CAN GRAB IT.

IT'S, IT'S IN MY PILE OVER HERE THAT I BROUGHT.

BUT THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS IS WHEN WE MOVE FORWARD NOW PROGRAMING PROJECTS, WE NEED TO LOOK AHEAD AT.

CAN WE FUND CONSTRUCTION AND NOT JUST DO ANOTHER STUDY OR DO SOMETHING AND WE SPEND MONEY AND THEN THINGS GO UP ON A SHELF.

SO WE HAVE TO REALLY LOOK TO THE FINAL PHASE ACTUALLY BEING CONSTRUCTED.

AND THAT I KNOW THAT THAT WAS ONE OF THE REASONS WE DIDN'T THIS CYCLE, THIS TIME AROUND DID NOT PROGRAM THE ELECTRIFICATION.

BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WON'T BE LOOKED AT AGAIN. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT WON'T BE VETTED AGAIN. NOT EVERY SINGLE PROJECT ALWAYS GETS PROGRAMED EVERY CYCLE, RIGHT. YOU KNOW, SO JUST AS AN FYI.

YEAH. NO WORRIES. YEAH, OF COURSE, OF COURSE.

BUT THAT'S A THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION. YOU HAD THE OTHER QUESTION.

YEAH. AND THE REASON THAT I WANTED TO ASK THAT ONE SPECIFICALLY IS ALSO BECAUSE A LOT OF THE STUFF IN THIS WORK PLAN, IT'S INTERSECTIONS OR ADDING LANES OR SOMETHING THAT'S ON A PRIMO CORRIDOR.

AND IT WOULD REALLY SUCK IF, YOU KNOW, WE BUILT A BRT ON OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD, AND THEN TWO YEARS LATER, WE RIP UP THE INTERSECTION AGAIN.

SO IF I COULD, THROUGH THE CHAIR, I'D LIKE TO ADD TO THE RESPONSE TO THIS FIRST TO YOUR QUESTION OF THE WORK PROGRAM.

SO AS YOU KNOW, THE PRIMO PLAN IS A BROWARD COUNTY PAY THROUGH BY THE PENNY SALES TAX, ALL THE REST. SO IT DOES SHOW UP IN THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT FINANCIAL DOCUMENTS.

SO THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO BE LOOKING TO, TO SEE THOSE DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE TO SHOW UP IN THE STATE NOW. I THINK LIKE THE OAKLAND PARK CORRIDOR, THEY'RE PROPOSING TO FUND ALL OF THAT 100% LOCALLY FUNDED.

SO THERE'S NO STATE OR FEDERAL DOLLARS IN THERE.

HOWEVER, IT SHOULD SHOW UP, MOST LIKELY IT WILL BE IN OUR TIP THAT WE ADOPT IN JULY, BECAUSE WE DO OFFER ALL OF OUR PARTNER AGENCIES THE OPPORTUNITY FOR REGIONAL PROJECTS TO MAKE US AWARE OF THEM AND TO HAVE IT INCLUDED INTO OUR FEDERAL DOCUMENTS.

SO THAT'S PART OF OUR ROLE AS THE MPO IS TO HELP PULL ALL OF THAT IN AND REPORT IT ALL OUT. SO THAT'S THE KIND OF, I THINK A MORE REFINED RESPONSE TO THAT.

YOUR OTHER QUESTION, MAX. I DO WANT TO POINT OUT, BECAUSE I THINK THE MPO DOES HAVE PERHAPS JUST A LITTLE BIT OF DAYLIGHT BETWEEN OURSELVES AND OUR PARTNER FDOT ON THE FEASIBILITY STUDIES, WE HAVE A SERIES OF FEASIBILITY STUDIES THAT WE IDENTIFIED IN THE, IN OUR METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN ON PURPOSE, WE PUT THOSE ALL UP AS TOP PRIORITIES BECAUSE THEY'RE JUST FEASIBILITY PLAN.

WE HAVE NO CONSTRUCTION PLAN FOR THE ELECTRIFICATION.

THERE IS NO FUNDING. THERE'S NO FUNDING IN OUR MTP IT IS SOLELY FOR A FEASIBILITY STUDY.

SO I THINK YOU'LL SEE THAT AGAIN COME UP AT THE TOP OF THE LIST FOR OUR FEASIBILITY AGAIN THIS YEAR. AND WE'LL WORK WITH FDOT TO SEE IF WE CAN'T GET THAT FUNDED YOU KNOW, SOONER RATHER THAN LATER.

BUT THEY, YOU KNOW, IT'S ALWAYS A BALANCE.

THERE'S ALWAYS A LIMITATION ON HOW MUCH IN ANY GIVEN YEAR, AND I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE MPO.

IN OUR NEW 2050 PLAN, WE DID IDENTIFY A BUNCH OF FEASIBILITY STUDIES THAT WE ASKED THEM TO FUND, BUT THAT'S THAT'LL STAY UP AT THE TOP OF THE LIST. THANK YOU. THANK YOU.

BILL, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FOR THAT EXPLANATION.

MAX, I ALSO WANT TO TELL YOU FROM JUST FROM MY EXPERIENCE, DOES IT MEAN FOREVER THAT IF IF THE PROJECTS DON'T HAVE ANY STATE FUNDING OR ANY MPO FUNDING ON THEM, THEY WON'T SHOW UP IN OUR WORK PROGRAM? IF THAT, IF THAT HELPS, BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE LOOKING FOR LIKE PART OF A PROJECT THAT MIGHT BE IN THEIR COUNTY IMPROVEMENT PLAN OR PROGRAM AND IT DOESN'T SHOW UP IF IT DOESN'T HAVE ANY OF THE FUNDING FROM THE STATE OR THE MPO FUNDING, WE DON'T PUT IT IN OUR WORK PROGRAM.

I DON'T KNOW IF THAT HELPS. THANK YOU, VINCENT, AND GOOD EVENING. YOU MENTIONED THE FIBER OPTIC, AND I JUST WASN'T SURE ABOUT WHERE IT WOULD BE AND HOW IT WOULD COME INTO PLAY FOR WHAT YOU USE IT FOR AS FAR AS THAT WORKS.

AND THE OTHER ONE WAS YOU MENTIONED A PEOPLE MOVER FOR THE AIRPORT.

NOW, WOULD THAT BE LIKE A TRAM OR WOULD THAT BE.

I'M GOING TO CALL IT THE MAD.

CALL IT THE MAGIC CARPET GOING THROUGH THE TERMINAL WHERE PEOPLE ARE JUST STANDING ON IT, GOING ON IT. SO I THINK IT'S THE MAGIC CARPET THAT YOU'RE REFERRING MAGIC CARPET.

SO THE FIBER, THE FIBER INSULATION I THINK WE PROGRAMED THE FIBER INSTALLATION AS A FEASIBILITY STUDY ALONG THE SFC CORRIDOR.

AND I KNOW THE MPO IS VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS.

ALSO WHEN YOU LOOK TOWARDS OPERATIONS, FUTURE OPERATIONS, I THINK THE FIBER WAS CONSIDERED VERY IMPORTANT TO THE OPERATIONS TO BILL, THERE WAS A LOT IN THAT ABOUT THE FIBER INSTALLATION AND THE IMPORTANCE TO THE BROWARD MPO, BUT IT LAYS A LOT OF THE FOUNDATION FOR FUTURE WORK AND UPGRADES.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO FUND THAT.

BUT IT WAS, IT COVERED, IT COVERED A WHOLE BUNCH OF THINGS.

[00:35:01]

I THINK THE FIBER BECAUSE IT'S.

YEAH, YEAH. THAT WAS, I THINK THEIR JUSTIFICATION WAS FOR THE INTERCONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE STATIONS FOR REAL TIME SECURITY MONITORING OF THEIR VIDEO CAMERAS AND ALSO AS A TRUNK LINE FOR SOME SIGNALIZATION CORRIDOR IMPROVEMENTS THAT WERE, THAT WAS IT. YEAH.

WELL, IT WOULD DEFINITELY BE A LOT EASIER TO INSTALL AND A LOT LIGHTER CABLES AND SO ON AND SO FORTH. SO IT SHOULD BE SHOULD WORK OUT A LOT BETTER THAN, THAN WHAT'S THERE FOR THE INFRASTRUCTURE NOW. THANK YOU.

YOU'RE WELCOME. YOU'RE WELCOME. THANK YOU. AND BILL, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. AND THE PEOPLE MOVER, IT SEEMS, SEEMS LIKE IS THAT GOING TO GO LIKE IN ALL THE TERMINALS OR FOR $20 MILLION? IT SEEMS KIND OF I DON'T KNOW, KIND OF PRICEY I'LL SHARE WITH YOU.

SO IT'S A LOT OF IT'S BEING FUNDED BY THE AIRLINES FAA.

GOT IT. SO BUT IT'S A, IT'S A REALLY NICE PROJECT.

IT'S GOING TO CIRCULATE BETWEEN ALL OF THE TERMINALS AND IT'S GOING TO COME OUTSIDE OF THE FENCE. SO EVERYTHING ON THE INSIDE OF THE FENCE IS GOING TO BE FAA FOR THE.

I'M GUESSING THAT 20 MILLION IS PROBABLY SUPPORTING THE PORTION THAT COMES OUTSIDE THE FENCE. IT'S GOING TO GO ACROSS THE FEC INTO A NEW INTERMODAL.

YOU KNOW, THE KIND OF THE DONUT HOLE THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RAMPS.

YES. YEAH. WELL, THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEW INTERMODAL FACILITY BUILT THERE.

AND THERE WILL BE A STATION ON THAT PEOPLE MOVER THAT WILL SERVE THAT AS WELL.

THIS IS REALLY NEEDED BECAUSE I MEAN, YOU GUYS GO DOWN THERE, YOU KNOW, THE PARKING IS. YEAH. SO IT'S HORRIBLE.

IT'S YEAH, IT'S LONG OVERDUE.

SO I'M ACTUALLY HAPPY.

IT SOUNDS INTERESTING AND SOUNDS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING NEEDED.

I'M BASICALLY I'M AN AVIATION ADVOCATE.

SO YOU GOT A FRIEND AT THE AIRPORT.

ALRIGHT. I DO HAVE A FEW QUESTIONS BEFORE WE MOVE ON.

FIRST I'LL START WITH A COMMENT.

I JUST WANTED TO SAY HOW HAPPY I AM BY SEEING THE NUMBER OF PAGES CONCERNING INFRASTRUCTURE HARDENING. I AM JUST SO HAPPY THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PRIORITY.

I THINK INDIVIDUALS HAVE HEARD ME SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I LIVED THROUGH WILMA AND SEVERAL OTHERS AND THE COUNTY HAD THIS PROGRAM TO HARDEN AND CHANGE OUT OUR UTILITY POLES.

AND IT'S 20 YEARS LATER AND IT HASN'T HAPPENED.

SO I'M REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THIS.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS.

I DO HAVE ONE QUESTION.

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS POSSIBLE.

IS IT POSSIBLE FOR MAST ARMS TO ACTUALLY HAVE THEIR OWN ELECTRICITY? AND SO WHILE WE'RE HARDENING THE INFRASTRUCTURE IN THAT REGARD, IF THE POWER GOES OUT THOUGH THEY BASICALLY ARE NOT ABLE TO PERFORM THEIR JOBS.

SO IS THAT PART OF THE STUDY? I WOULD HAVE TO FIND OUT.

THAT'S A VERY GOOD QUESTION.

I HAVE SEEN I SHOULDN'T JUST SAY THIS, BUT I'VE SEEN MASKED ARMS WITH THEIR OWN LITTLE POWER SUPPLY. WHEN I, WHEN I LIVED IN FORT MYERS, I USED TO GO OVER THE CALOOSAHATCHEE BRIDGE AND WE HAD MAST ARMS AND THEY HAD THEIR OWN LIKE, YOU KNOW, CATCHING THE SUNLIGHT. SO I, I WILL FIND OUT.

I'LL FIND OUT FROM OUR IT PEOPLE AND OUR STAFF AND SEE IF THEY CAN HAVE THEIR OWN ELECTRICITY IN THE EVENT OF A STORM OR WHEN THE POWER GOES OUT.

PERFECT. ONE FOLLOW UP QUESTION CONCERNING THIS.

AND AGAIN, THIS IS JUST BEAUTIFUL.

I LOVE THIS THE PRIORITY FOR SOME OF THESE, I'M VERY INTERESTED IN THE HIGH OCCUPANCY AREAS, HOSPITALS, SCHOOLS PLACES WHERE, WHEN A HURRICANE'S COMING.

WE HAVE INDIVIDUALS GOING THERE TO HUNKER DOWN.

I UNDERSTAND HOW WE WANT TO DO THIS, BUT IS THAT ALSO GOING TO BE EXPLORED CONCERNING FUTURE PROJECTS? OH, PLEASE LET ME ANSWER THIS.

OKAY. VICTORIA. SO THROUGH THE CHAIR, THE ANSWER IS YES.

OKAY. RIGHT NOW, THE MPO HAS A RESILIENCY STUDY UNDERWAY THAT IS LOOKING AT HOW DO WE BETTER PRIORITIZE AND IDENTIFY.

AND SO EXACTLY TO YOUR POINT, ONE OF THE THINGS THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED AS A KEY METRIC IS HOW DO WE CAPTURE A CONNECTION TO WHETHER IT'S THE POLICE DEPARTMENT, THE HOSPITALS, BUT LIKE KIND OF THAT KEY CORE INFRASTRUCTURE.

SO THAT IS VERY MUCH SOMETHING THAT'S BEING STUDIED CURRENTLY.

AND FUTURE PRIORITIZATION WILL BE BASED UPON THIS STUDY THAT.

SO WE'LL ADDRESS THAT.

AND ONE FINAL QUESTION.

IS THERE A STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS.

NO SIR THERE IS THERE'S NOT.

THIS IS KIND OF THE USUAL.

WE RECEIVE THIS DOCUMENT FROM DOT.

[00:40:02]

VERY LATE. WE LITERALLY JUST HAD IT IN OUR HANDS A COUPLE OF DAYS.

SO WE'RE NOT ABLE TO BE PREPARED FOR A STAFF RECOMMENDATION HERE NOW.

WE WILL BE PREPARED FOR THE BOARD.

BUT I WILL SAY THAT OVERALL YOU KNOW, WE'RE, WE'RE PRETTY HAPPY WITH WHAT WE SEE.

IT'S NEVER A PERFECT DOCUMENT.

THERE HAVE BEEN SOME SIGNIFICANT POLICY CHANGES THAT ARE FLOODING THAT, YOU KNOW, COMING DOWN INTO THIS DOCUMENT THAT REFLECT ACTIONS THAT WERE TAKEN IN THIS LAST LEGISLATIVE SESSION. THAT'S NOT REALLY ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DIRECTLY IMPACT HERE AT THIS POINT IN TIME. SO I WOULD SAY UNOFFICIALLY, I'D ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO VOTE IN THE AFFIRMATIVE TONIGHT.

I DO THINK TAKEN ON THE WHOLE, THIS IS A GOOD, A GOOD DOCUMENT. IT DOES TRY TO ADDRESS THE MPO IDENTIFIED PRIORITIES, AS YOU'VE SEEN WITH THE RESILIENCY.

SO BUT BUT BUT THERE IS NOT AN OFFICIAL STAFF RECOMMENDATION FOR TONIGHT.

OKAY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS CONCERNING THIS ACTION ITEM? NOT SEEING ANY. WE CAN GO AHEAD AND MAKE A MOTION.

SO WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.

ANY FURTHER DISCUSSIONS CONCERNING THIS ITEM? NOT SEEING ANY. WE'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE.

OH, I APOLOGIZE ROSANNA.

THE THE ATTENDANCE DIDN'T UPDATE WHEN YOU CAME IN.

CAN YOU TELL ME VERBALLY AND I WILL ADD IT AFTER IF.

YES. THANK YOU. OKAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH, VICTORIA.

WE WILL GO TO OUR NEXT AGENDA ITEM.

[2. MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE the Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise (FTE) Draft Tentative Five-Year Work Program for Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 - 2031]

MOTION TO RECOMMEND BROWARD MPO APPROVE THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE DRAFT.

TENTATIVE FIVE YEAR WORK PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEAR 2027 TO 20 2031 JAMES BROWN JR.

WILL BE PRESENTING. WELCOME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I AM THE MPO LIAISON FOR FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE ENTERPRISE, AND I AM HERE TO PRESENT OUR TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM FOR FISCAL YEARS 27 THROUGH 31.

THIS IS A NICE PICTURE OF THE TURNPIKE MAINLINE LOOKING SOUTH TOWARDS THE HARD ROCK CASINO AT GRIFFIN ROAD.

OUR FACILITIES IN BROWARD COUNTY, WE DO HAVE 56 TOTAL MILES OF FACILITY, 26 MILES OF OUR TURNPIKE MAINLINE ANOTHER EIGHT MILES OF THE SOUTHERN PART.

WHAT? I'M HITTING HERE.

SHE CAN CLEAR THIS BACK.

YEAH. I THINK THIS THING'S CAUSING IT.

GUYS ARE SEEING ALL THE PRESENTATION CAN GO BACK.

PERFECT. OKAY. ALL RIGHT, HERE WE ARE.

SO, 26 MILES OF TURNPIKE MAINLINE.

YOU HAVE ANOTHER EIGHT MILES SOUTH STATE ROAD 821.

REFER TO THAT AS THE SPUR.

THE SOUTHERN PART OF THE COUNTY, WHICH TIES INTO THE HOMESTEAD EXTENSION.

AND THEN ANOTHER 22 MILES OF SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

THANK YOU. THANK YOU. I WANTED TO SHOWCASE THIS YEAR YOUR $2 AT WORK, AND WE LOOKED AT OUR PROJECT ON THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY, THE INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENTS AT ATLANTIC BOULEVARD.

THAT PROJECT STARTED IN FISCAL YEAR 23.

WE ANTICIPATE THAT TO FINISH THIS DECEMBER, FOUR MONTHS AHEAD OF SCHEDULE.

THE TOTAL COST OF THAT PROJECT WAS $85 MILLION.

WE CAN DISCUSS THIS ALL GRASS TRAILHEAD AT ATLANTIC BOULEVARD IS NOW OPEN.

THAT OPENED IN SEPTEMBER.

VISITORS CAN NOW ENJOY NEWLY RECONSTRUCTED ROAD AND PARKING LOT.

WE DID ENHANCEMENTS TO REDUCE THE FLOODING IN THAT AREA.

NEW GUARDRAILS AND ADDITIONAL PARKING SPACES FOR PEOPLE TO ENJOY THAT.

IN YOUR PACKAGE, YOU DID RECEIVE OUR SUMMARY OF PROJECTS.

WE PUT THIS TOGETHER EVERY YEAR.

AND JUST TO GO OVER THAT SO YOU CAN KIND OF NAVIGATE THROUGH THAT.

THE FIRST PAGE ALWAYS HAS OUR CONSTRUCTION, WHICH HAS BEEN RECENTLY COMPLETED OR UNDERWAY. YOU'LL SEE A LOT OF SEGMENTS IN THERE OF SAWGRASS THAT'S UNDER CONSTRUCTION IN SOME SEGMENTS. PAGE FOUR IS THE BROWARD COUNTY PROJECTS AND THOSE.

I'LL BE GOING OVER WITH YOU IN A FEW MOMENTS.

BUT THAT IS ANYTHING THAT'S BEEN FUNDED FOR CONSTRUCTION OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

WE HAVE ALLOCATED JUST OVER $1 BILLION IN THIS TENTATIVE WORK PROGRAM FOR PROJECTS IN BROWARD. PAGE 16. IT'S NOT ON THIS SLIDE, BUT PAGE 16 IS A NICE SNAPSHOT.

[00:45:01]

IT'S A MAP OF BROWARD AND ALL OF OUR PROJECTS.

SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE ALL OF THEM.

THE PROJECT IDS, A QUICK DESCRIPTION.

SO I ALWAYS RECOMMEND GOING TO PAGE 16 AND THEN PAGE 19.

THAT IS OUR MAJOR PROJECT LIST THAT HAS A PHASE FUNDED, BUT THERE IS NOT CONSTRUCTION FUNDED YET. SO YOU'LL SEE A PROJECT IN THERE FOR A, P, D AND E STUDY. MOST OF THOSE PROJECTS HAVE BEEN FUNDED WITH SOME DESIGN FUNDING.

SO NOW I'M GOING TO GO OVER OUR PROJECTS.

THE FIRST ONE I WANTED TO REFERENCE IS THE IMPROVEMENTS AT COCONUT CREEK PARKWAY INTERCHANGE. THAT DESIGN WILL IS FUNDED FOR FISCAL YEAR 27 AND THE CONSTRUCTION IS FOR FISCAL YEAR 29. IT'S GOING TO ENHANCE CAPACITY THERE.

THE TRUCK MOVEMENTS ARE GOING TO BE ENHANCED.

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A DIRECT CONNECTION TO NORTHBOUND TURNPIKE FROM BLOUNT ROAD.

THAT'LL BE VIA BRAIDED RAMP AND A ROUNDABOUT.

SO NONE OF THE TRUCK TRAFFIC HAS TO INTERACT WITH MARTIN LUTHER KING.

AND THERE'LL BE A DIRECT SOUTHBOUND RAMP AT THAT LOCATION AS WELL.

THE NEXT I'LL DISCUSS IS THE POMPANO BEACH SERVICE PLAZA.

WE'RE LOOKING AT PARKING IMPROVEMENTS FOR TRUCKS AND PASSENGER CARS, BUT PRIMARILY THERE'S A NEED IN THE STATE FOR TRUCK PARKING.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT EACH OF OUR SERVICE PLAZAS TO SEE WHAT WE CAN DO TO INCREASE CAPACITY AT POMPANO BEACH.

FISCAL YEAR 31 IS THAT PROJECTS FUNDING FOR CONSTRUCTION, AND WE'RE LOOKING TO DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF SPACES FOR TRUCK PARKING THERE.

ANOTHER ONE I CAN REFERENCE IN DISTRICT FOUR IS FORT PIERCE.

AND WE'RE ALSO LOOKING TO DOUBLE THE PARKING SPACES.

AND THEN FINALLY AT THE BOTTOM, WE HAVE THE TURNPIKE MAINLINE WIDENING CONSTRUCTION OF THAT WIDENING FROM 6 TO 8 LANES.

WE REFER TO THAT AS THE SPUR.

THAT SECTION DOWN THERE IS RIGHT AT THE HARD ROCK STADIUM.

SO THAT IF YOU WANT TO PLACE THAT AND THAT'S CONSTRUCTION IN THAT AREA.

NEXT, I'M GOING TO GO FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP JUST BECAUSE IT'S EASIER AS FAR AS THE CONNECTIVITY OF THOSE SEGMENTS.

BUT WIDENING THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY FROM SOUTH OF NORTHWEST EIGHTH STREET TO SOUTH OF SUNRISE BOULEVARD, AND THAT CONSTRUCTION FUNDING THAT THERE IS A RESIDUAL ALLOCATION THAT IS CURRENTLY IN CONSTRUCTION NOW, BUT THAT HAS BEEN ALLOCATED FOR ANYTHING THAT MAY BE NEEDED AT THE END OF THE PROJECT.

AND YOU'LL SEE A COUPLE OF THOSE.

THE NEXT PROJECT THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS SAWGRASS FROM SOUTH OF SUNRISE TO NORTH OF OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD.

THIS SEGMENT HAS A LOT OF UTILITY WORK, WHICH HAS SOME FUNDING.

FISCAL YEAR 27. THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THIS IS FISCAL YEAR 27.

TOTAL COST OF THIS SEGMENT $363 MILLION.

BUT IT DOES HAVE ENHANCEMENTS TO THE IMPROVEMENTS OF SUNRISE AND OAKLAND PARK INTERCHANGES WITH SAWGRASS, AS WELL AS NEW RAMPS TO AND FROM NORTH PORT SALERNO DRIVE. SO THAT INTERCHANGE SPECIFICALLY IS A PARTNERSHIP PROJECT WITH THE CITY OF SUNRISE AND BROWARD COUNTY.

AND THEN THE NEXT SEGMENT NORTH OF OAKLAND PARK TO SOUTH OF ATLANTIC.

AGAIN, THIS IS SIMILAR TO THE FIRST ONE I DISCUSSED.

IT'S A RESIDUAL REMAINING EXPENDITURE THAT'S BEEN ALLOCATED FOR THE END OF THAT PROJECT.

THE NEXT IS AGAIN FROM THE BOTTOM TO THE TOP WIDENING OF THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY NORTH OF SAMPLE ROAD TO SOUTH OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE.

THAT SEGMENT IS BEING WIDENED TO 6 TO 8 LANES.

CONSTRUCTION WAS ALLOCATED IN FISCAL YEAR 26.

SO IN THIS YEAR FOR $130 MILLION.

BUT AGAIN, THIS WILL LOOK AT CORAL RIDGE DRIVE.

WE'RE LOOKING TO DO A DIVERGING DIAMOND INTERCHANGE IMPROVEMENT AT THAT LOCATION.

AND THE CONSTRUCTION FOR THAT IS IN FISCAL YEAR 29.

NEXT MOVING IS TO SOUTH OF UNIVERSITY DRIVE TO US 441 CONSTRUCTION FUNDED IN FISCAL YEAR 27 FOR $159 MILLION. AND THAT WILL LOOK AT IMPROVING UNIVERSITY INTERCHANGE.

AND THEN ON THE TOP OF THAT, WE HAVE US 441 TO EAST OF TURNPIKE MAINLINE.

THAT IS INCLUDE RAMP IMPROVEMENTS AT TURNPIKE AND SOUTHWEST 10TH.

WE'RE GOING TO LOOK AT THE LIONS ROAD INTERCHANGE AND THAT CONNECTIVITY TO MAKE THAT A LOT EASIER. WE'RE GOING TO EVENTUALLY GAIN ALL MOVEMENTS FROM SOUTHWEST 10TH, WHERE THAT CONNECTS WITH TURNPIKE.

THAT IS THE ULTIMATE GOAL.

THAT PROJECT IS FUNDED FOR CONSTRUCTION IN FISCAL YEARS 30 AND 31 FOR JUST UNDER $300 MILLION. THESE NEXT THREE PROJECTS REFER TO SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY FUTURE RESTRIPING,

[00:50:01]

SO THEY'RE ALL RESTRIPING PROJECTS TO PREPARE FOR OUR FUTURE WIDENING SEGMENTS.

WE HAVE A SEGMENT OF WIDENING, AND IT HAS THE MILEPOST THERE, BUT THEY'RE FUNDED IN THE YEARS FISCAL YEAR 31, 28, 29, BUT THEY JUST REFERENCE DIFFERENT SECTIONS THAT WILL NEED TO HAVE THE RESTRIPING DONE FOR THAT CONNECTIVITY.

IF YOU THINK ABOUT SAWGRASS, WE'RE DOING IT IN SEGMENTS.

SO WE MAY WIDEN A SEGMENT, BUT THE CONTINUOUS SEGMENT IS NOT WIDENED YET. SO THEY HAVE TO GO BACK AND MAKE SURE ALL OF THE STRIPING IS CONTINUOUS.

I'M GOING TO NOW DISCUSS THE PROJECTS THAT HAVE FUNDING ALLOCATED FOR EITHER A, P, D AND E STUDY FOR DESIGN OR FOR RIGHT OF WAY.

THESE PROJECTS DO NOT HAVE ANY FUNDING FOR CONSTRUCTION YET.

AND THE FIRST ONE I'LL LOOK AT IS THE TURNPIKE INFRASTRUCTURE WIDENING INITIATIVE.

THIS IS FROM STATE ROAD 91.

RIGHT AGAIN AT THE END OF THE COUNTY WHERE IT CONNECTS WITH STATE ROAD 821 OR THE HOMESTEAD EXTENSION UP TO 595. AND THIS IS THE STUDY FOR THAT AREA IN FISCAL YEAR 28.

NEXT MOVING, WE'RE LOOKING AT IMPLEMENTING RAMP IMPROVEMENTS AT GRIFFIN ROAD.

THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED FOR DESIGN AND FISCAL YEAR 31.

AND IT'S GOING TO FOCUS ON THAT NORTHBOUND RAMP MOVEMENT.

SO IF YOU'RE ON GRIFFIN TO GET ON, NORTHBOUND TURNPIKE CAN BE A LITTLE CHALLENGING WITH ORANGE THERE.

AND THERE'S SOME LIGHTS THAT YOU HAVE TO GET THROUGH.

AND WE'RE GOING TO BE ADDRESSING THAT IN THE DESIGN IS IN 31.

NEXT WE'RE LOOKING AT I I5 95 TO SUNRISE.

AND THAT SECTION AGAIN, WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DESIGN TO START IN FISCAL YEAR 29, ALLOCATED $600 MILLION TOWARDS THAT PROJECT.

AND AGAIN, THE TURNPIKE MAINLINE WIDENING FOR THE MAJORITY OF THE SEGMENTS IS LOOKING TO BE WIDENED FROM 6 TO 10 LANES.

NEXT IS THE CONSTRUCTION OF A NEW INTERCHANGE AT OAKLAND PARK BOULEVARD.

I AM HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THIS WAS ACCELERATED BY TWO YEARS FOR THAT DESIGN TO START.

ORIGINALLY, THIS SEGMENT INCLUDED SUNRISE TO OAKLAND PARK, AND IT WAS GOING TO BE INCLUDED AS PART OF THAT WIDENING PROJECT.

BUT WE'VE ACCELERATED. WE'VE PULLED IT OUT TO REALLY GET THAT INTERCHANGE IN PLACE.

SO WE'RE LOOKING AT THE DESIGN TO START ON THAT IN FISCAL YEAR 29 FOR $16 MILLION.

WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH THE BROWARD MPO.

THEY'RE DOING A MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN RIGHT NOW WITH THE CITY OF LAUDERHILL, AND WE'VE BEEN COORDINATING WITH REGARD TO ANY REQUESTS THEY MAY HAVE FOR THAT.

THAT AREA WE HAD ACQUIRED THAT GOLF COURSE IN THE NORTHWEST QUADRANT THERE TO BE UTILIZED FOR THIS NEW INTERCHANGE.

AND LAST ON THAT PAGE IS THE WIDENING OF THE MAIN LINE FROM COMMERCIAL TO ATLANTIC.

THERE'LL BE SOME ENHANCEMENTS TO COMMERCIAL INTERCHANGE.

LOOKING AT IN THIS DESIGN AS WELL AS THEY'RE LOOKING AT THE CYPRESS CREEK PARTIAL INTERCHANGE. SO THAT WOULD BE A NEW PARTIAL INTERCHANGE OFF OF THE MAIN LINE.

AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE NORTH RAMPS.

SO IT WOULD BE NORTHBOUND ON SOUTHBOUND OFF.

MOVING ON. WE'RE LOOKING AT THE WIDENING OF THE TURNPIKE MAIN LINE FROM ATLANTIC BOULEVARD TO SAMPLE. WE HAVE DESIGN STARTING IN FISCAL YEAR 29 AT $17 MILLION RIGHT AWAY IN FISCAL YEAR 30 FOR 13 MILLION.

I WILL POINT OUT THIS SECTION DOES INCLUDE THE SOUTH OF ATLANTIC TO COWPENS, WHICH THE TURNPIKE IS GOING TO WIDEN TO EIGHT LANES.

IT'S GOING TO BE A PHASED APPROACH IN THAT IN THAT SEGMENT.

AND ULTIMATELY, IT WOULD GO TO A TEN LANE WIDENING WHEN THE LEVEL OF SERVICE IN THAT AREA REACHED A LEVEL SERVICE D, BUT I DID WANT TO POINT THAT OUT, THAT THAT SEGMENT ITSELF HAS A SEGMENT WITHIN IT THAT WILL BE WIDENED TO EIGHT LANES.

NEXT WE HAVE SAMPLE ROAD TO GILES DESIGNED FOR THAT FISCAL YEAR 27.

AND THEN WE HAVE WILES TO THE COUNTY LINE TO PALM BEACH.

THAT DESIGN IS AGAIN IN FISCAL YEAR 27.

THE LAST ONE IS A P, D AND E STUDY.

THAT'S GOING TO START.

AND IT'S IT'S MAINLY LOOKING AT THE SOUTH PART OF PALM BEACH COUNTY TO STUDY THE WIDENING THERE TO TEN LANES.

THE LOGICAL TERMINUS WOULD BE FROM SAWGRASS TO GLADES.

SO THAT'S, YOU MAY, YOU MAY ASK, WHY IS PART OF BROWARD INCLUDED IN THAT PDE STUDY? IT'S JUST THE LOGICAL FOR THE FOR THE, FOR THE TERMINUS. BUT THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT THAT P, D AND E KICKING OFF IN FISCAL YEARS 28.

AND THAT WRAPS UP MY PRESENTATION.

I DID WANT TO END WITH A SAFETY NOTE WITH REGARD TO NATIONAL TEEN DRIVER SAFETY WEEK, WHICH IS THIS WEEK. AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT ADDRESSING THE HIGH RATES OF CAR CRASHES AMONG TEEN DRIVERS. SO IT'S THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR THIS AGE GROUP IN THE UNITED STATES. AND THIS WEEK REALLY EDUCATES OUR TEENS,

[00:55:04]

PARENTS AND COMMUNITIES ABOUT SAFE DRIVING BEHAVIORS.

AND WITH THAT, I'LL OPEN IT UP TO ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE. ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS? VINCENT. GOOD EVENING.

HOW ARE YOU? GOOD. GLAD THAT THE TURNPIKE IS GETTING MAJOR OVERHAULS.

IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S GETTING THERE BY STATE ROAD 820.

ALSO NEAR MY LOCATION AND WHERE IT'S IT'S ALWAYS A MESS OVER THERE WITH TRAFFIC GETTING ON AND THE TRAFFIC IS REALLY SEVERELY BACKED UP.

AND ON THAT, IT SEEMS LIKE THERE WAS ABOUT, I'M GOING TO GO WITH ABOUT 15 YEARS AGO ON THE EASTERN AND WEST SIDE OF THE TURNPIKE.

THEY BOUGHT BUSINESSES AND HOMES THERE.

AND IT JUST FINALLY GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO STARTING TO WIDEN THAT PROJECT OVER THERE BY STARTING LIKE BY HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD.

IT LOOKS LIKE GOING UP TO GRIFFIN IF I GOT IT CORRECT.

AND MY QUESTION IS, I BELIEVE THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO PUT AN ON RAMP COMING FROM EAST TO WEST TO GO NORTHBOUND, I BELIEVE, AND THEN ANOTHER ONE GOING FROM DIRECTLY FROM WEST GOING ON TO THE TURNPIKE.

NO STOPPING, NO BACKUPS BECAUSE IT'S I'M, I'M ASSUMING THAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN ONCE THIS PROJECTS ARE DONE.

IF YOU CAN ELABORATE ON IT.

YEAH, SURE. SO WHAT YOU'RE REFERENCING FIRST, WE ARE LOOKING TO UTILIZE PART OF A SHOULDER THERE AS A T, S, M AND O PROJECT. IT'S IN TWO SEGMENTS.

AND WE'RE LOOKING TO ADD AN ADDITIONAL LANE JUST FOR CAPACITY.

AND THAT IS TO BE IN PLACE.

WHAT I KNOW THAT WE HAVE A P, D AND E STUDY, WHICH IS GOING TO START.

SO IT'S GOING TO START FROM 821 UP TO 595, WHICH IS GOING TO INCLUDE HOLLYWOOD BOULEVARD. THAT STUDY WILL ADDRESS YOUR SECOND.

THE SECOND PART OF YOUR QUESTION IS THOSE MOVEMENTS AT HOLLYWOOD, BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT THOSE ARE NEEDED. YEAH.

OKAY. AND WHEN WHEN IS THAT SCHEDULED TO BE COMPLETED? BECAUSE I SEE DUMP TRUCKS COMING IN ALL DAY, EVERY DAY AND FULFILL, YOU KNOW, SO IT'S YEAH, THAT'S GOOD.

FINALLY, THAT LAST FISCAL YEAR.

SO WE'RE ESTIMATING MAYBE A THREE YEAR TIME FRAME ON THAT.

OKAY. YOU KNOW, AND I, AND I DO LIKE YOUR, YOUR PICTURE OF THE TURNPIKE OVER THERE THAT YOU HAD WITH THE HARD ROCK, BUT THERE WAS NO CARS ON THE TURNPIKE.

CAN WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT AND HAVE IT LIKE THAT ALL THE TIME? YEAH, YEAH, THERE USUALLY ARE A LOT OF CARS.

THANK YOU. CHRISTOPHER.

GOOD EVENING. BASICALLY, I THINK THE HAZE ALREADY OUT OF THE BARN ON THIS ONE. BUT I DO WANT TO ASK THE PANTHERS CURRENT CONTRACT WITH AMARANT ARENA EXPIRES IN 2033. AND THE COUNTY DOES HOLD FIVE YEAR EXTENSION PERIODS THAT CAN GO OUT TO 2043.

AND LOOKING AT THE 363 MILLION THAT IS BEING ALLOCATED FOR SOUTH OF SUNRISE BOULEVARD, NORTH OAKLAND, PARK BOULEVARD AND AND PAT SALERNO DRIVE, I HAVE TO IMAGINE A LOT OF THAT MONEY IS ALLOCATED BECAUSE OF THE SUCCESS OF THE PANTHERS AND HOW MUCH THE ARENA DRAWS THESE DAYS, BUT WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR THE ARENA, WHICH HAS BEEN TALKED ABOUT WITH VINNY VIOLA'S OWNER OF THE PANTHERS, OF MOVING THE TEAM DOWNTOWN.

IS THAT MONEY BEING SPENT PRUDENT WITH ESPECIALLY THAT SUBSTANTIAL AMOUNT.

IF THE TEAM IS TO UP AND MOVE OVER TO THE DOWNTOWN AREA OF FORT LAUDERDALE AS OPPOSED TO STAYING OUT IN SUNRISE.

THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

WE ARE WIDENING THE ENTIRE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY TO TEN LANES EXCEPT FOR A SMALL SECTION UP IN THE NORTH PART AROUND CORAL RIDGE DRIVE.

SO THE WIDENING PROJECTS HAVE BEEN IN THE PLANS FOR THAT AREA.

THAT EXPENSE OF THAT SEGMENT IS SO HIGH BECAUSE IT INVOLVES TWO EXISTING INTERCHANGES PLUS THE NEW INTERCHANGE THAT THEY WANT TO HAVE THE ACCESS AT PAST SALERNO.

SO YEAH, IT'S IT'S PART OF THE MASTER PLAN FOR SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

SO IT'S, IT'S GOING TO BE WIDENED REGARDLESS OF ANY, RIGHT. SO WHETHER THEY'RE AT THE ARENA OR NOT OR WHATEVER IT DRAWS, I, I UNDERSTAND, I FIGURED IT WAS ALREADY A LATE QUESTION, BUT I WANTED A GOOD QUESTION.

I WANT TO MAKE A POINT OF THAT. SURE. DARREN, FOR YOUR PRESENTATION.

IN, IN EACH ONE OF THE SLIDES YOU SHOWED THE FISCAL YEAR AND THE FUNDING COLUMN.

MY QUESTION IS THE FUNDING COLUMN IS THAT IN $2,025 OR THE DOLLARS YOU EXPECTED TO SPEND IN THE FISCAL YEAR ASSOCIATED WITH THAT PROJECT? IS THERE IN TODAY'S DOLLARS? SO YOU'LL BE COMING BACK FOR MORE MONEY LATER? YEAH, ESSENTIALLY. OKAY.

THANK YOU. CHRISTINE. HI.

YES. YOU MENTIONED WIDENING TO TEN LANES.

[01:00:01]

WHAT WHAT IS THE CURRENT NUMBER OF LANES OUT THERE NOW? WHICH FACILITY YOU'RE REFERRING, I GUESS SAWGRASS.

SAWGRASS 626. YEAH. AND WHAT OTHER ALTERNATIVES ARE EVER EXPLORED? IS IT IS IT ALWAYS JUST WE HAVE TO WIDEN.

WE HAVE TO WIDEN BECAUSE WE WE OBVIOUSLY WILL RUN OUT OF SPACE.

AND THAT DOESN'T SEEM LIKE A SUSTAINABLE SOLUTION.

YEAH. OUR OUR REACTION IS BASED ON CAPACITY NEED.

SO. AND IF THE FACILITY WE HAVE A TRAFFIC TRENDS REPORT THAT WE RUN STATEWIDE EVERY YEAR. SO EVERY YEAR WE RANK ALL OF OUR FACILITIES, ALL OF OUR INTERCHANGES, AND WE CAN SEE WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE A NEED. THERE HAS BEEN A LONG STANDING NEED TO WIDEN THE SAWGRASS EXPRESSWAY.

SO I CAN ONLY SAY FEEL MORE SAFE WHEN IT'S WIDER.

I DON'T PARTICULARLY LIKE SAWGRASS.

IT'S GOING TO BE MORE SAFE.

YOU'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE ENHANCEMENTS IN TECHNOLOGY AND LIGHTING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO GET WITH IT. IT'S AN EVACUATION EVACUATION ROUTE FOR PEOPLE TO GET TO TURNPIKE MAINLINE, TO GO NORTH TO GET TO 95, TO GET TO I-75.

SO IT'S A MAJOR ROUTE THAT'S UTILIZED IN THE WEST PART OF THE COUNTY.

YEAH. YES. I JUST WISH THERE WERE MORE OPTIONS.

WE KEEP LOSING GREEN SPACE, AND I'M MORE INTERESTED IN GREEN SPACE THAN LANES OF TRAFFIC. BUT THANK YOU.

OKAY. THANK YOU. YOU'RE WELCOME.

ARE THERE OTHER QUESTIONS? IT'S ON MY LIST.

I DO HAVE QUESTIONS, THOUGH, AND I'M FOLLOWING UP WITH WHAT CHRISTINE SAYS. SO WE HAVE 56 LANES.

THAT IS PART OF THE ENTERPRISE.

HOW MANY OF THOSE ALREADY ARE AT TEN LANES? IT'S 56 MILES OF SIX MILES.

I'M SORRY. HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE AT TEN LANES? CURRENTLY, NONE OF THEM ARE.

SO NONE OF THE. NOT UNTIL ALL OF THOSE SEGMENTS OF THE SAWGRASS ARE COMPLETED WITH CONSTRUCTION WILL IT BE A CONTINUOUS TEN LANE FACILITY.

OKAY, THE TURNPIKE MAINLINE, WE'RE GETTING INTO THE DESIGN SEGMENTS, SO IT'S GOING TO BE A WHILE FOR THOSE.

YEAH. AND I'M FOLLOWING UP WITH WHAT CHRISTINE IS SAYING.

SO WHAT HAPPENS AFTER TEN LANES? YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

YOU KNOW, WHEN I FIRST JOINED THIS BOARD, ONE OF THE THINGS WAS THAT WAS TOLD TO ME IS WHEN YOU EXPAND A ROADWAY BECAUSE IT'S CONGESTED, IT'S SORT OF OPENING UP TRAFFIC, BUT EVENTUALLY IT BECOMES CONGESTED AGAIN.

SO YOU'RE ESSENTIALLY NOT SOLVING THE PROBLEM.

YOU'RE JUST PUSHING IT OFF A FEW YEARS.

AND SO I'M FOLLOWING UP WITH HER QUESTION.

I'M SORRY IF I KEEP USING YOUR NAME CHRISTINE.

IS THAT IS THIS SUSTAINABLE? WE ARE BETWEEN THE OCEAN AND PROTECTED LAND.

WE DON'T HAVE SPACE. WE'RE GOING TO HIT TEN LANES, PROBABLY IN THE MID 30S.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? IT'S COUNTY PLANNING.

DEVELOPMENT PLANNING. AGAIN WE'RE CITIZENS.

AND WE FEEL I FEEL I CAN'T SPEAK FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT.

IT IS NOT A GOOD FUTURE FOR US TO KEEP BUILDING.

WE DO NEED TO MOVE PEOPLE, BUT WE ARE MOVING VEHICLES, WHICH IS VERY IMPORTANT, BUT IT'S NOT A BALANCED APPROACH AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM I THINK MANY OF US HAVE.

IF THERE IS A NATURAL DISASTER, YES, WE DO NEED ROADWAYS, BUT WE ALSO NEED RAILWAYS, WE NEED AIRPORTS, WE NEED OTHER MODES OF TRANSPORTATION.

AND WE SPEND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS EVERY YEAR ON ROADWAYS.

AND FOR US, FOR ME, I KEEP SAYING US, I APOLOGIZE.

FOR ME. IT SEEMS THAT IT IS ONE SIZE FITS ALL WHEN TO TURNPIKE OR TO THE DISTRICT.

BOTH. ACTUALLY SINCE YOU'RE HERE AND YOU'RE REPRESENTING FLORIDA'S TURNPIKE.

WE KEEP SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY, AND I'M NOT QUITE SURE IT'S A GOOD USE OF OUR DOLLARS. AND YES, STATUTORILY, YOU CAN SPEND MONEY ON ANY OTHER KINDS OF MODES OF TRANSPORTATION, I GET THAT.

BUT IT JUST SEEMS TO ME WE'RE SPENDING SO MUCH MONEY ON SOMETHING WE KNOW IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. SO CHRISTOPHER.

SORRY, CHAIR, MAYBE NOT REAL QUICK.

I JUST WANTED TO PIGGYBACK OFF WHAT CHAIR WAS SAYING AND THE FACT OF.

AND, SIR, I UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT YOUR POSITION BEING HERE THIS EVENING, BUT I HAVE A HARD TIME WRAPPING MY MIND AROUND.

WE'RE GOING FROM TEN LANES NOW.

[01:05:01]

EVERYBODY IS BOTTLENECKED ON TWO LANES ALL THE WAY, TRYING TO GET OUT OF THE STATE OR UP 95.

AND NOW WE'RE FACING A VERY SIMILAR SITUATION.

YOU KNOW, WE'VE MENTIONED HURRICANES QUITE A BIT THIS EVENING. I UNDERSTAND IF YOU GO BACK TO THE EARLY 1900S OR THE 22 HURRICANE THAT BLEW, YOU KNOW, THE TRAIN OFF THE TRACKS AND THE KEYS.

SO MAYBE THAT'S NOT THE SAFEST WAY POSSIBLE.

BUT IF WE'RE GOING TO DO TEN LANES, SHOULDN'T WE BE LOOKING AT THE REST OF THE STATE? SO WE ALL HAVE AN EXIT STRATEGY COMING OUT OF SOUTH FLORIDA RATHER THAN THE SAWGRASS, WHICH KIND OF JUST LOOPS AROUND.

AND YOU EITHER HAVE TO GO DOWN ALLIGATOR ALLEY, OR YOU HAVE TO TAKE TWO LANES ON THE TURNPIKE, OR MAYBE THE 4 TO 6 LANES YOU GET ON 95.

I THINK YOU SHOULD BE EXPLORING THAT AS WELL. AND I, AND I REALLY HOPE THAT YOU'RE GOING COUNTY BY COUNTY TO DO SO.

SO THAT US HERE IN SOUTH FLORIDA, IF WE ARE EVER UNDER A, YOU KNOW, HAVING TO GET OUT OF HERE WE HAVE THAT CAPABILITY INSTEAD OF BEING BOTTLENECKED. YEAH, THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.

THE SPECIFIC MENTION TO SAWGRASS WITH WAS WITH REGARD TO THE TEN LANE QUESTION WE HAVE A $10 BILLION TURNPIKE WIDENING INITIATIVE OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS.

SO WE'RE NOT JUST LOOKING AT BROWARD PALM BEACH, WE'RE WIDENING THE FACILITY ALL THE WAY UP TO ORLANDO AND BEYOND.

SO IT IS A CONTINUOUS FACILITY THAT'S BEING WIDENED.

THE MAJORITY OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF IT'S A MAJOR HURRICANE EVACUATION ROUTE.

A LOT OF IT IS DUE TO THE NEED.

BUT IT IS A STATEWIDE INITIATIVE.

YEP. THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? NOT SEEING ANY. WE'LL GO AHEAD AND CALL FOR THE VOTE.

THE MOTION. I'M SORRY. THANK YOU.

DARREN AND JOHN. THANK YOU.

WE HAVE A FIRST AND A SECOND.

ANY OTHER CONVERSATION OR QUESTIONS CONCERNING THE MOTION? NOT SEEING ANY. WE'LL CALL FOR THE VOTE.

GO AHEAD.

OKAY. SO. ARE WE GOOD? WE'RE GOOD. OKAY, WONDERFUL.

THANK YOU SO MUCH. ALRIGHTY.

I JUST WANT TO REMIND EVERYONE WE ARE AT 707 AND SOME OF US NEEDS TO LEAVE AT 6 OR 8.

ALRIGHTY. MOTION TO RECOMMEND OUR THIRD AGENDA ITEM.
