MPO Executive Director Ms. McLaughlin - no report other than what is in the agenda. 7. Committee Chair Reports 7.A.1. Citizen Advisory Committee Chair Report Mr. Ortman, Senior Planner, presented the Chair Report provided in the packet. 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 6 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) 7.B.1 Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) Chair Report Lorraine Lantz presented the Chair Report provided in the packet. Noted that not having a quorum is unusual for the committee. Confirmed that changes suggested by the committee have been made in the Transportation Improvement Program. Noted that lengthy discussion held on reaffirming support for Local Agency Program (LAP) projects, including reimbursement of funds, better communication regarding MPO process, priority timing changes, Calling for Projects for new third year instead of fifth year and its potential problems with solutions. Committee discussion showed support for adding safety projects to SU. 7.C.1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Chair Report Mr. Bonness, gave Chair Report included in packet. Regarding Naples Pathways Coalition’s (NPC) Paradise Coast Trail Vision, explained the vote in which six were in favor and three were opposed or abstained in support of the resolution. The committee member from Marco Island voted against the resolution because the NPC’s Vision does not include trail connections to Marco Island. Provided more detail on committee voting on Vanderbilt Drive sidewalk versus a pathway and deleting Immokalee Rd. project. Expanding SU project priorities – add safety based on bike/ped safety; return funding amount to original categories when feasible; have unfunded project list in-place. Councilman Brechnitz asked why Marco Island excluded from Paradise Coast Trail Vision. Mr. Bonness, NPC received letters of objection from Conservancy raising issues that need to be worked out. Councilman Brechnitz, evaluating impacts on mangroves should be part of the feasibility study; a single letter from a private entity should not exclude Marco Island from feasibility study. Ms. McLaughlin recommended addressing the issue in more detail under agenda item 9E. 7.D.1 Congestion Management Committee Chair Report N/A. 7.E.1 Local Coordinating Board (LCB) N/A 8. Regular Board Action (Roll Call Required) A. Approval of Amendment to Fiscal Year 2019 – 2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Mr. Ortman introduced the topic. Commissioner McDaniel moved Approval; Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Roll call vote was taken with the motion passing unanimously. Commissioner Solis Yes Councilwoman Middlestaedt Yes Councilman Brechnitz Yes Commissioner McDaniel Yes Commissioner Fiala Yes Councilman Buxton Yes Commissioner Saunders Yes B. Adopt Fiscal Year 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 7 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) Mr. Ortman presented the Executive Summary included in the packet. Commissioner McDaniel – How often do we review this? I was looking at the interchange improvements. I think the partial interchange at Vanderbilt ought to be added into this, get it on the list. Ms. McLaughlin – The priority list in this year’s TIP is last year’s priority list. The list you’ll be adopting today will go into next year’s TIP. Commissioner McDaniel – It’s not on either list, this year’s or last year’s and if it’s not on a list, it’s not a priority. Commissioner Solis – We haven’t had any discussions about that. I requested at last meeting that we have a discussion whether it’s even feasible to do a partial interchange in that location. But I don’t think we can add something as a priority if we haven’t discussed about it. We need to understand the process for identifying priorities. Ms. Mclaughlin – We’ll go into more detail about the process later on the agenda. Projects have to be identified in the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) in order to be prioritized for the TIP. The Vanderbilt partial interchange was not recognized as a need in the 2040 LRTP. Priorities generally come from the LRTP’s Cost Feasible Plan. None-the-less, due to previous Board discussions on this topic, FDOT has included a feasibility study for the partial interchange in its large study for I-75 as a precursor to this MPO having to invest money in doing an Interchange Justification Report (IJR). Commissioner McDaniel moved approval; Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Roll Call vote taken with motion passing unanimously. Commissioner Solis Yes Councilwoman Middlestaedt Yes Councilman Brechnitz Yes Commissioner McDaniel Yes Commissioner Fiala Yes Councilman Buxton Yes Commissioner Saunders Yes 9. Regular Board Action (No Roll Call) A. Adopt by Resolution 2019 Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Priorities Ms. McLaughlin gave a brief presentation on the new TRIP priorities for 2019, which must be adopted by Resolution. Noted late arriving change - the County has removed Veteran’s Memorial Blvd. due to timing issue. Commissioner McDaniel: when are these priorities picked? We haven’t had a joint meeting in a couple of years. Ms. McLaughlin projects initiated by staff; ideally Boards would vote together in a joint meeting; but Boards are acting independently this year. Ms. Scott: TRIP requires 50/50 match so won’t see a lot of annual changes unless the Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) changes. Will cover in more detail in upcoming item 10A on the agenda. Did you have a specific project? Immokalee and Randall dropped off. Ms. Scott, It’s being funded by County Sales Tax referendum. Commissioner McDaniel moved approval. Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Carried unanimously. 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 8 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) B. Approve 2019 Congestion Management, Highway, Bridge and Transit Priorities Ms. McLaughlin provided an overview of the 2019 Congestion Management, Highway, Bridge and Transit Priorities, reporting on advisory committee actions and recommendations. The Congestion Management priorities are new this year. Corkscrew Road has been added to the Highway Project Priorities for 2019 under the new category of Safety, noted Board’s previous approval of safety as a category. The 2019 Bridge project priorities remain the same as last year. County staff submitted new Transit Priorities for 2019 based on adopted plans. Commissioner Fiala – Please remind us what “SU” stands for. Ms. McLaughlin – Surface Transportation- Urban funds, now known as the Surface Transportation Program (STP) Block Grant program allocated to the MPO due to its status as a Transportation Management Area (TMA). This is where the Board has a very direct say in prioritizing funds, but it is a cooperative process with FDOT. Councilwoman Middelstaedt moved approval. Commissioner Solis seconded. Motion passed unanimously. C. Approve 2019 Bike-Pedestrian Priorities Ms. McLaughlin presented an overview of advisory committee recommendations regarding the 2019 Bike- Pedestrian Priorities, explaining that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee voted to eliminate the Shared Use Path on Immokalee Rd. which County staff concurs with. BPAC also voted to delete Vanderbilt Dr as a priority, but later included it as a bicycle lane instead of a sidewalk by a show of hands. Ms. Scott gave a Powerpoint Presentation (available upon request) describing the right-of-way and drainage constraints that led to the design to add sidewalks to both sides of the roadway. The project in the current TIP is to construct the sidewalk on the east side of the roadway. There is no available ROW to add bike lanes or to widen the sidewalk. This section of roadway is signed at 35 mph. It is a very well used area from perspective of bikes and pedestrians. Commissioner Solis –In order to put the bike lanes in, it would require additional ROW of both sides? Ms. Scott – Potentially. Probably a little more than 10’ on both sides, adding impervious surface, probably have to increase drainage. Would have to look at water quality again. It’s a big issue, this is a direct release into the bay. Commissioner McDaniel – In order to have it entirely functional, why don’t we add elevated sidewalk over the drainage. Ms. Scott – We are saying we are fine with sidewalk. If the Board wants to direct staff to change the Scope of the project, that will significantly change the project. Our recommendation is to continue forward with the project as described in the TIP. Commissioner Solis moved approval. Commissioner Saunders seconded. Motion passed unanimously. D. Approve the Selection Committee’s ranking and authorize entering into negotiations with Tindale Oliver for a contract related to Request for Professional Services (RPS) Number 19-7562, “Collier County Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Mr. Ortman provided a briefing on the Request for Professional Services, and the Selection Committee’s ranking of the top three firms out of the four who submitted. Commissioner Fiala questioned what Jacobs Engineering did right the first time and wrong the second time. Ms. McLaughlin reported that the Selection Committee felt that Jacobs Engineering had the strongest submittal, but when it came to the presentation, Tindale Oliver hit all the key points. Commissioner Fiala moved approval; Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Approved unanimously. 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 9 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) E. Adopt Resolution Supporting Naples Pathways Coalition’s Paradise Coast Trail Vision Ms. McLaughlin introduced the Resolution supporting the Naples Pathways Coalition’s (NPC) Paradise Coast Trail Vision. Jim Wood, Kimley-Horne, consultants to the NPC, gave the presentation, which is included in the meeting packet. (All presentations are available upon request.). The Feasibility Study will bring a lot of clarity to answer the questions raised – available ROW, types of funding available, breaking the project down into phases. Concluded by addressing Councilman Brechnitz’s remarks made earlier. Intent is to build something that is part of a larger system. Not intended to be exclusionary in anyway. There are other facilities planned – paved shoulders, bike lanes for example – all the work done for the Bike/Ped Master Plan. Councilman Brechnitz – With all the large developments going in, why wouldn’t it make sense to have a Shared Use Path along 951? A Feasibility Study should determine what’s feasible. Why eliminate it without studying the feasibility? Ms. McLaughlin – This was studied as part of the development of the Bike-Ped Master Plan. At the time it was determined to limit potential environmental impacts due to sensitivity of abutting lands. If the Board wishes to direct staff to look at it again, staff will do so and report back in the Fall, I would recommend that the Board put that responsibility on your staff for the time being rather than on the Naples Pathways Coalition. Councilman Brechnitz – We don’t know the extent of the impacts. We don’t know the mitigation. A feasibility study would tell us that. Ms. McLaughlin – Yes, but the Feasibility Study would have to expend a great deal of its resources on studying this, you can see that the rest of the Vision doesn’t go through environmentally sensitive land. Marco Island has not been excluded in the Bike-Ped Master Plan, it hasn’t been forgotten or ignored. We did have support from our advisory committees at the time. Not to say we couldn’t look at it again and we probably should. It’s just a caution that it would be expensive to review. Commissioner Solis – Clarified that the Naples Pathways Coalition is going to engage in a study and it is their study, they are going to raise funds for it. This is an effort by the NPC to help us envision this interconnectivity. They are asking the Board to support just the vision of it. They are not asking us to include Marco Island in our Bike-Ped Master Plan. That’s our plan. This is their plan. They want to do it consistent with our Bike-Ped Master Plan. Ms. Avola - Yes, the corridor we are showing is not intended to be the only trail within Collier County. We would like to see this come to fruition and everyone connect to it, but we don’t want it to be a twenty-five year environmental struggle with the Conservancy or any other entity. This is a very ambitious project for a small nonprofit to undertake. If it is successful, we’ll have an easier time overcoming some obstacles in the future and connecting the whole County. That’s our vision, but this is the first chunk. It falls in line with the Bike-Ped Master Plan. Mr. Wood – This is not going to be done in isolation. Will involve MPO, County and other partners over time. Ms. McLaughlin – I think what we’re going to find that the NPC is raising funds to help with a Feasibility Study but most likely will be seeking additional funds at some point; if they are asking for State and Federal funds at some point, it will become a County or MPO study if those funds are used. Commissioner Fiala – Is there a study interested parties could read in anticipation of adding this connection to Marco Island in the future? Ms. McLaughlin – I think MPO staff has to provide you with all the information we have available that we’ve received from the Conservancy. Commissioner Taylor – Clearly this would qualify as a project for the use of TMA SU funds, but how would the resolution apply? We have to be clear what we are going to do here. Clearly this is a recreational trail. Environmental Justice is not part of it. We need to clarify the intent. Commissioner McDaniel – What portion of the resolution do you specifically have heartburn over? 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 10 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) Commissioner Taylor – We have clear ranking criteria – does this fill an Environmental Justice need? This is a recreational trail, one of the benefits described is to attract tourism. There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s a reason for it. But there are very few working folks that may use it. Commissioner McDaniel - Please define what you mean by Environmental Justice (EJ)? The environmental impacts will come from the feasibility study. Commissioner Taylor – I understand EJ is two-fold. It has to do with the environment, but it also has to do with transportation and access to work. Can the Director explain in more detail? Ms. McLaughlin – EJ does have two parts. First you have to identify communities having EJ concerns including having a large minority population, high rate of poverty, lack of car ownership among other factors. We’ve mapped that for Collier County. One, related to building transportation facilities such as freeways for example - you don’t put a lot of impacts on those communities without considering whether that’s a wise thing to do or not. Two, the flip side is providing equal access to the benefits of transportation infrastructure, such as the ability to move around safely by nonmotorized travel. We’ve captured that in the Bike-Ped Master Plan. Regarding the NPC’s Pacific Coast Trail Vision, as we gain more knowledge about what needs to be done on particular segments, we will have to discuss how we move those into the mix of other priorities identified in the Bike-Ped Master Plan. But because the corridors go through a very heavily urbanized area, commuters are going to use them. In fact, the case is made in the Bike-Ped Master Plan that in an urban area, a Shared Use Path serves a transportation function. The only recreational facilities in the Bike-Ped Master Plan are in those large, green swaths shown on the map. Commissioner Taylor – If that’s the case, it solves that problem. If it’s transportation, it can be justified for using those funds [SU]. Ms. McLaughlin – That’s why the resolution says that to the extent the vision is consistent with the Bike-Ped Master Plan, the Board supports it. Commissioner Saunders – Commissioner Solis is correct. We are simply supporting this concept. I don’t think we have to add anything to the resolution. I’ll make a motion to support. Commissioner McDaniel – Second. Councilman Buxton – It seems to me that the NPC is funding this. They’ve raised $60,000. I believe they need $150,000 or more. They haven’t asked us for any money. All they want is for us to say “OK, you can go ahead raising money.” That’s all they want from us. It’s not about environmental studies or anything else. Commissioner Fiala – I do want us to study how Marco Island can be a part of this, not as part of this resolution, but study it on the side to put it in place for the future. Commissioner McDaniel – I would like to see an inclusion of Marco Island in the process especially if they help with the funding. What is the significance of the green dotted line on the map? Ms. McLaughlin – It’s the Golden Gate Canal; proposed through public input; remains very hypothetical; we would have to look at adjoining land uses. Commissioner McDaniel - Second question, one part of the corridor connects up to Lee County, but the other corridor stops in Immokalee. What happened to the discussion of a multiuse path on SR82? Why is there no connection up into Hendry County and Lee County? There is a Shared Use Path proposed on SR82 now and it would be “low hanging fruit” to extend the corridor to include it. Ms. Avola – Our study area, as the NPC – is limited to Collier County. We would like to connect with Lee County, but we are still in the preliminary stages of developing a Scope of Work for the feasibility study. 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 11 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) Mr. Wood – A key issue is how the study would be scaled, how it could be scaled-up to connect to other counties. At a minimum, the study needs to answer questions about available ROW and other costs within Collier County. Commissioner Solis – I want to make sure what exactly we are talking about. This isn’t about any specific trail. NPC is proposing to do a feasibility study within corridors that are miles wide. You are looking at opportunities of what could be done. You are not speaking about specific trails now. Mr. Wood – Correct. The feasibility study will start to depict potential alternative alignments, but not get out ahead of the next phase – environmental studies. Councilman Brechnitz – The conceptual corridor is wide and general, but it does not include Marco Island which has 70,000 people living there during high season. Councilwoman Middelstaedt - Neither is Everglades City included, but that’s ok. Councilman Buxton – It’s been moved and seconded. Call for the vote. Commissioner Saunders moved to adopt the resolution. Commissioner McDaniel seconded with direction to MPO staff to study potential connections to Marco Island. Motion passed 7:1, with Councilman Brechnitz voting against. 10. Presentations (May Require Board Action) A. Joint MPO, FDOT and Local Agency Presentation on Project Programming Ms. McLaughlin began the presentation with an overview of MPO plans, policies, procedures and annual production schedule. Ms. Peters presented on FDOT’s plans, policies and 5-year work program development process and timeline. Ms. Scott presented an overview of how the County identifies and prioritizes projects, and illustrated how the entire process – MPO, FDOT, County and Local Agencies – is reliant upon plans adopted by each governmental entity. Emphasized that the TIP must be consistent with the Statewide TIP. FDOT production report card discourages changes in first fiscal year of the TIP. Consider it locked in. Second year of the TIP is difficult to modify also. Third, fourth, fifth year have time to make changes and we should have that dialogue. The MPO and FDOT portion of the presentation is included in the meeting packet. All presentations are available upon request. Commissioner Solis – Projects on County CIP come through AUIR process? Ms. Scott - Yes and No, starts with LRTP. Some projects on CIP are outside of the first block in LRTP, will hold these aside until next LRTP update. Short range and long-range planning go hand in hand. B. New Policies Regarding Project Prioritization and Programming Ms. McLaughlin gave a report on discussions MPO staff has held with the Technical, Citizens and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees (TAC, CAC, BPAC) on expanding project priorities to include safety projects and developing a mechanism to reconfirm local governing body support for projects prior to expenditure of any state or federal funds. Recommended expanding the lists of prioritized projects to include safety projects while maintaining the current 40/40/20 split over a 5-year period for budgeting purposes and requiring adoption of a resolution reconfirming support of a project by the local government the year prior to the year of expenditure in the TIP. Noted that Board may not feel that a change in policy is needed because better communication throughout the process would alleviate any need for a formal check-in point. 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 12 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) Commissioner Taylor – I think we need a check in point. Commissioner McDaniel: I agree. Members change [on governing bodies], staff changes over time too. There is also a staff recommendation to continue with the 40/40/20 split. Ms. McLaughlin – Yes, there is quite a lot of fluctuation in SU box, as it fluctuates, staff would come up with language that will continue to budget according to the 40/40/20 split, keeping the 100% per year over a 5-year period. As funds fluctuate and money becomes available, we would have another list, similar to the unfunded priority list discussed earlier to draw projects from to spend the funds down. Keep the 40/40/20 split and start funding safety. Commissioner McDaniel – What do the percentages refer to? Ms. McLaughlin - 40% Congestion Management, 40% Bike Ped, 20%Bridge. Commissioner McDaniel moved approval of staff recommendation. Councilman Buxton second. Passed unanimously. B. FDOT Presentation on Old US 41 PD&E Study Mr. Andrews, FDOT - gave a presentation on the Old US 41 Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study. The presentation is included in the meeting packet and available on request. The study will analyze safety, capacity improvement alternatives and multimodal alternatives on Old US 41 between US41 and Bonita Beach Road. Project goals include increasing roadway safety, providing accommodations for pedestrians and cyclists, and facilitating the movement of people and freight. The project number in the MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is 4351101. The construction phase has not yet been programmed. The project website will be up and running soon. Please call me in the Bartow office with any questions. Commissioner Taylor – A unified vision will require a great deal of compromise between the County and Bonita Springs. How do we accomplish this? Does the MPO need to get involved? Bonita Beach Rd. is also an issue. When should the Collier MPO approach the Lee County MPO? Ms. Scott – Recommend allowing FDOT to gather data and come up with typical sections in order to have a very informed conversation with Lee County MPO. We know from our AUIR that the roadway is currently exceeding its Level of Service. We are currently building the Veterans Memorial extension which comes to Old 41. In another five years we’ll have another roadway that connects to this. When FDOT comes up with typical sections we’ll be able to come up with a solution that works for both entities. Bike/ped is very important to the County. At the time we met with Mr. Andrews, the County had not yet adopted a Complete Streets policy. Our Complete Streets policy differs from Bonita Springs. Bonita’s is more geared towards bike/ped and ours is geared towards all users, consistent with FDOT’s Complete Streets policy. This is one of the small pockets of industrial zoning and that is very important to us from an economic development standpoint. Tourism is also important, people want to be able to get from Vanderbilt Beach to Bonita by bike and we’re trying to accommodate all users. Commissioner McDaniel – I agree with Commissioner Taylor. We need communication across County lines well in advance of plans for construction. 11. Distribution Items None. 12. Member Comments Commissioner Solis – Would like to congratulate FDOT staff on completion of Trail Blvd sidewalk, it actually looks pretty good and people are using it. 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 13 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) Commissioner McDaniel – 1) I would like FDOT to look again at the intersection of SR82 and Corkscrew – we did an enormous amount of improvement to that intersection not long ago, but now traffic has to go beyond the striped line coming out of Corkscrew Rd. in order see the traffic to safely traverse the intersection. 2) Ms. Scott, south of the Immokalee bend coming onto Corkscrew Rd, I want the County to look at extending the double-laning up to the Sanctuary. We had a terrible accident there two days ago – someone pulled out of Wild Turkey and tried to pass a dump truck. Look into putting a double lane there that allows passing coming off that curve coming out of Cypress Swamp. 13. Next Meeting Date Regular Meeting – September 13, 2019 – 9:00 a.m. 14. Adjourn With no further comments Councilman Buxton adjourned the meeting at approximately 12:00 p.m. 4.A.1 Packet Pg. 14 Attachment: 6-14-19 MPO Board Minutes (10030 : June 14, 2019 Meeting Minutes) 09/13/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Approval of a zero dollar Change Order to PO 4500195107 for the Transit Impact Analysis (Contract #16-6562, Tindale-Oliver & Associates, Inc.) OBJECTIVE: For the MPO Board to approve a zero dollar change order to allow additional time for its consultant to complete the Transit Impact Analysis. CONSIDERATIONS: The Collier MPO has adopted and procures goods and services under the policy set forth in the Collier County Procurement Ordinance (Ordinance No. 2017 -08, as amended). Under Section 19.3.a, Contract Administration, of that Ordinance, change orders issued under a purchase order or contract that exceed ten percent (10%) of a current Board approved aggregate amount, or twenty percent (20%) of the current Board approved number of days must be approved by the Board. In this instance, the attached Change Order seeks approval to add a period of additional days more than 20% of the original MPO Board approved contract. Because the Collier MPO Board approves all its own contracts with vendors, all future proposed change orders that exceed those threshold amounts will be brought to the MPO Board for approval. Those under the threshold amount will be administratively processed and made part of the contractual record. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: This item is administrative in nature and does not require committee action. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of the change order.

CONSIDERATIONS: The MPO Board received information from the Executive Director at the February 8, 2019 meeting that the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council (SWFRPC) had agreed to attend TAC meetings if they were added as voting members. The MPO Board discussed this at the February Board meeting and again at its March Board meeting. The Board provided direction to staff to explore the possibility of adding the SWFRPC to the TAC as a voting member. At the same time the SWFRPC position was discussed, the representative for the Conservancy of Southwest Florida requested that it be added to the TAC as a voting member as well. Both the SWFRPC and the Conservancy are both currently non-voting members of the TAC. Florida Statutes, Section 339.175(6)(d) addresses the mandatory creation and general composition of the members of the MPO’s Technical Advisory Committee, as follows: (6) Powers, duties, and responsibilities.- … (d) Each M.P.O. shall appoint a technical advisory committee, the members of which shall serve at the pleasure of the M.P.O. The membership of the technical advisory committee must include, whenever possible, planners; engineers; representatives of local aviation authorities, port authorities, and public transit authorities or representatives of aviation departments, seaport departments, and public transit departments of municipal or county governments, as applicable; the school superintendent of each county within the jurisdiction of the M.P.O. or the superintendent’s designee; and other appropriate representatives of affected local governments. In addition to any other duties assigned to it by the M.P.O. or by state or federal law, the technical advisory committee is responsible for considering safe access to schools in its review of transportation project priorities, long-range transportation plans, and transportation improvement programs, and shall advise the M.P.O. on such matters. In addition, the technical advisory committee shall coordinate its actions with local school boards and other local programs and organizations within the metropolitan area which participate in school safety activities, such as locally established community traffic safety teams. Local school boards must provide the appropriate M.P.O. with information concerning future school sites and in the coordination of transportation service. As required by the statute, the membership of the TAC includes representatives of the appropriate affected agencies as described in the first underscored section above but arguably should also include the Collier County School District as a voting member. In addition to any other duties the MPO assigns the TAC Advisory Committee, it is primarily responsible for advising the MPO on issues involving safe access to schools during its review of transportation project priorities, long-range transportation plans, and transportation improvement programs. After meeting with the Deputy County Attorney, staff recommends that the SWFRPC and the Collier County School District be included as voting members on the TAC. The SWFRPC is a voluntary association of counties and cities that was formed in 1973, under the laws of Florida. They are uniquely qualified representatives of the six counties (Charlotte, Collier, Glades, Hendry, Lee, and Sarasota) and can provide valuable regional input into the transportation planning process. The Statute creates a 4.C Packet Pg. 19 09/13/2019 primary role for the TAC Advisory Committee on safe access to schools; therefore, it is also appropriate that the School District be added as a voting member. Staff’s recommendation regarding the TAC’s designated representative of an environmental agency is distinct. First, the Statute speaks to the TAC’s members in terms of “affected local governments” and not organizations. Second, although the MPO may direct its TAC Advisory Board to perform such duties as it wishes, the TAC’s primary role involves opining on safe access to schools and other such planning prerogatives of the MPO. As noted above, the TAC is mandated to coordinate its actions with “ . . . other local programs and organizations with the metropolitan area which participate in school safety activities, such as locally established community traffic safety teams.” Notably, there are multiple environmental agencies within Collier County and Florida, which represent multiple interests; sometimes not all with a unified voice. Based on all of the aforementioned, staff recommends that it would be inappropriate to reclassify the Conservancy as a voting member on the TAC but that it should remain as a valuable non - voting member on the committee. The TAC bylaws have been modified to be consistent with the MPO bylaws and to add the SWFRPC and the Collier County School District as voting representatives. Other primarily non-substantive revisions are shown in the strikethrough/underline format included as Attachment 1. The clean bylaws are included as Attachment 2. The MPO bylaws will need to be amended to be consistent with the changes to the TAC bylaws. The proposed changes to the MPO bylaws are shown in strikethrough/underline format as Attachment 3. The clean bylaws are included as Attachment 4. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The TAC reviewed and endorsed the revisions to the TAC bylaws at their August meeting. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: For the Board to approve the proposed revisions to the TAC and MPO bylaws and authorize the Chair to sign the documents.

Agency Reports Ms. Peters, FDOT Liaison to the MPO, reported that FDOT is facing a very tight schedule for releasing the draft tentative Work Program; plan is to hold the epublic hearing on October 7th at the Collier County library on Orange Blossom Rd, and that Eric Ortman, MPO Senior Planner, would also be present. The Work Program “snapshot” may be released as early as mid-September; she will send it to the MPO as soon as it becomes available. The Committee Chair emphasized the importance of getting it out to the agencies as soon as possible. FDOT will host Mobility Week activities from October 25 to November 1, 2019 and they hope to get Collier County involved this year. FDOT will host a public meeting at the IFIS building in mid- September on SR82 project from Gator Slough to SR29. Ms. McLaughlin, MPO Director, reported that she had learned through the process of working with FDOT to stop work on the Naples Beach Access project that formal MPO Board action is required to remove a project from the TIP. She reminded TAC members that sponsoring agencies will be required to adopt resolutions reconfirming support of projects that are programmed for expenditure in the next Fiscal Year of the TIP, and that she would contact individual staff members to go over the list of applicable projects for their agencies. The MPO staff distributed the draft 2020 MPO calendar and asked that members notify her of any comments in time to take formal action approving the calendar next month. Committee Actions  Endorsed the Roll Forward Amendment to FY2020-20204 TIP  Endorsed the 2019 Priority Planning Project – the 2045 LRTP. The TAC had an extensive discussion regarding the changing FDOT work program policies and wanted to ensure MPO compliance with all FDOT funding allocation rules/requirements and the LRTP deadline  Endorsed the TAC Bylaw Revisions. The TAC voiced concerns that the new quorum requirements may make attaining a quorum more difficult and that the absence of a quorum would mean that the committee could not review or discuss the agenda. MPO staff stated that they would call an emergency meeting if there was a lack of quorum and an agenda item required TAC comment and/or review before proceeding to the MPO Board. The importance of attending meetings was discussed based on the LRTP items planned for all future agendas.  Endorsed the Park and Ride Scope of Services after discussion of including ridesharing and Uber as users of a potential public facility not just CAT.  Endorsed the Transit Development Plan and Comprehensive Operational Analysis Scope of Services. The TAC discussed the timing of the TDP and coordination with the LRTP and questioned the percentage of DBE stated in the scope. Reports and Presentations  Bill Gramer, Jacobs Engineering, presented an overview of the 2045 LRTP planning process that covered the following topics: o LRTP Schedule 7.B.1.a Packet Pg. 79 Attachment: TAC Chair Report September 2019 (10019 : Technical Advisory Committee Chair Report)     o Phase 1 Deliverables – Public Involvement Plan and Existing Conditions Analysis o Vision, Goals and Objectives o Performance Measures and Targets o Project Evaluation Criteria o Next Steps  TAC members made several comments on the presentation, the draft PIP and the Goals and Objectives, including: o That BEBR high population projects may need to be considered in addition to medium to make sure the LRTP is adequately prepared for growth o Evaluation criteria needs work -some are too subjective and need clearer definition. The evaluation criteria example in the presentation was not the same as the matrix in the whitepaper. The example was very specific, the whitepaper is too vague. o How will M-CORES influence LRTPs and the travel demand model? o Concerns that ACUNE won’t be out until June 2020, TDP won’t be ready until September 2020 and M-CORES task force recommendations won’t be available until October 2020 – how can all of this be integrated into the LRTP? o From the Conservancy – add goals to incorporate Complete Streets; maintain or restore natural wetland flows; clarify evaluation criteria – how will scores be determined, how will impact on achieving climate change goal be measured? How will safety be measured? o Request for MPO staff to make general corrections in the draft document including: – Goodland doesn’t have a CRA; Appendix says “boards” instead of “committees”; correct the reference to Conservancy of SW Florida; add Naples CRA and Marco Island Chamber of Commerce to Adviser Network; o Why pay for display ads in 4 newspapers, when they have not proven to be effective o Why is there only one goal addressing multimodal – should give more priority to connectivity, analyze variety of scenarios o For Vision – look at the County’s Community Character Plan and consider adding back a reference to freight or goods o Include TAC in emails to Adviser Network – they can help get the word out via email and social media, PTNE can include information on buses.

Agency Reports Mr. Agacinski gave the FDOT report: • Announced that Debra Chesna was the new D1 Bicycle Pedestrian Coordinator. • The next solicitation for SunTrail applications may be this fall but still awaiting final decision. Reports and Presentations Committee members, on behalf of their respective MPO member entities, presented the projects being submitted for consideration of SU funds for the next new fifth year (FY24/25). The application process has been revised to align with the MPO Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan adopted in March 2019. The Board will be asked to adopt a prioritized list of these bicycle and pedestrian projects in June 2020. Ten projects were submitted; the preliminary combined cost estimate for the projects is $16.3 million; there is $4.1 million of available SU funds. Committee discussion primarily focused on three general topics: • Should certain projects be separated into two separate projects given their geographic separation? • Were other treatments better than those proposed for certain projects, e.g., would a bike lane be better than a sidewalk? • Should the Freedom Park Pedestrian Overpass be considered ineligible based solely on the cost estimate of $6 million? Committee Actions: • Voted 9:1 in favor of not separating any of the submitted projects into separated projects • Voted 9:1 in favor of declaring the Freedom Park Overpass ineligible based solely on its $6 million cost estimate The next regularly scheduled meeting is on September 17, 2019 at 9:00 a.m. 7.C.1.a Packet Pg. 83 Attachment: BPAC Chair Report Sept 2019 (10036 : Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee Chair Report) 09/13/2019 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Local Coordinating Board Chair Report OBJECTIVE: For the MPO Board to receive a report from the Chair of the Local Coordinating Board (LCB) related to recent LCB actions and recommendations.

CONSIDERATIONS: Each March, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Work Program Office provides the FDOT Districts with the Tentative Work Program that is to be adopted on July 1. The MPO’s TIP incorporates the Tentative Work Program, and is also adopted by Ju ly 1. Year one of the TIP and the Work Program should always match. However, when the new TIP and Work Program are adopted on July 1, there are often projects that were supposed to get authorized and encumbered prior to June 30 (i.e., when the previous TIP and Work Program were in effect), but did not. These projects will automatically roll forward in the Work Program, but will not roll forward in the TIP. Hence, the TIP must be amended to include these projects and match the Work Program. This is accomplis hed by what is known as a Roll Forward TIP Amendment. The FDOT Work Program Office prepares a Roll Forward Report which is the source for the projects included in the Roll Forward Amendment (Attachment 1). The Roll Forward Amendment will not be recognized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) until October 1st which is the effective date of the “new” TIP. Attachment 2 is FDOT’s request letter for the amendment. The MPO has completed the following public involvement steps as required by the MPO’s Public Participation Plan for TIP amendments: • coincides with review of the amendment by the TAC and CAC • announced on the MPO website • distributed via e-mail to applicable list-serve(s) The comment period began on August 15th and ends with the MPO Board meeting on September 13th; as of August 30th, no public comments had been received. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS: The Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) unanimously endorsed the Roll Forward Amendment at their August 27, 2019 meeting. The Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) did not meet due to lack of a quorum. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve the FY2020-2024 Roll Forward Amendment to the TIP.

The workforce development program must serve as a tool to address the construction labor shortage by recruiting and developing a group of skilled workers for infrastructure projects to increase the likelihood of projects remaining on time and within budget. • FDOT may administer workforce development contracts with consultants and nonprofit entities, such as local community partners, Florida College System institutions, and technical institutions or centers. These entities will provide support for workforce recruitment; training curriculum for road and bridge construction projects; and support services to remove barriers to work. • FDOT will develop performance and outcome metrics to ensure accountability and to measure the benefits and cost-effectiveness of the program. • By June 30, 2020, and annually thereafter, FDOT will provide a report to the Governor, President of Senate, and Speaker of the House of Representatives describing these activities and containing any recommendations relating to future program refinements. • Beginning in FY 2019/2020 though FY 2021/2022, FDOT will provide $2.5 million per year for these activities.

OBJECTIVE: To approve a Supplemental JPA which will allow studies currently programmed i n the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP) to be eligible to be billed to the current grant agreement (G0581), and to authorize the Chair to execute the agreement and any related documents. CONSIDERATIONS: The Supplemental JPA provides for the Departments participation, using FTA Section 5305(d), “Metropolitan Planning Program” and State cash match financial assistance, in the Agency’s (Collier MPO) eligible expenses associated with FTA Section 5305(d) funded planning tasks. The current JPA states that FTA § 5305(d) funds are used for transit planning studies that are identified in the 2016/17-2017/18 Unified Planning Work Program (“UPWP”). The MPO has completed all identified studies shown within the UPWP except for the Transit Impact Analysis which is currently underway. After completion of the Transit Impact Analysis, there will be approximately $70,000 remaining that can be reprogrammed to another transit study that is identified in the current UPWP. The Supplemental JPA (Attachment 1) was created to amend the current agreement to allow for studies identified in the current (FY 18/19-19/20 UPWP) to be funded with the agreement. This will allow staff to spend down older grant funding prior to utilizing new grant funding. The current JPA (Attachment 2) terminates on December 31, 2020. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: This is a contractual matter and was not taken to the committees. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: For the Board to approve the Supplemental JPA and authorize the Chair to execute the agreement. Prepared By: Brandy Otero, Principal Planner ATTACHMENT(S) 1.

CONSIDERATIONS: Currently, the MPO has $461,282 to fund the LRTP. The total contract with the additional services proposed by the consultant, Jacobs, brings the total cost to $590, 418. The MPO is requesting to use SU funds to make up the difference. In order to do this, the LRTP must be included as a priority on the MPO’s list of Priority Projects. The planning priority list is included as Attachment 1. MPOs have a history of “banking” funding by saving each year in order to pay for LRTPs. This allows us to pay for a document that has a sizeable cost every five years. Recently, FDOT has started enforcing a Work Program rule, which states that if more than 20% of the annual allocation is carried forward, the MPO is determined to be out of compliance with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) “80/20 Rule” (Attachment 2). The 80/20 Rule limits an MPO’s ability to use Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG), which we refer to as “SU Box funds”, for their Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). This rule allows an exclusion for using SU funds to develop an LRTP, with the stipulation that the LRTP must be included in the MPO’s List of Priority Projects. COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The TAC reviewed this item at their August meeting and recommended approval. The CAC did not meet due to lack of a quorum.

CONSIDERATIONS: The MPO Board received a presentation at their May meeting shortly after the initial Notice to Proceed was issued on April 9, 2019. Jacob’s Engineering has prepared a draft Public Involvement Plan for the Boards’ review and comment, which is included as Attachment 1. The draft 2045 Goals and Objectives and Evaluation Criteria were reviewed by the Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) the August meeting. The committee made the following comments: o The Bureau of Economic Research (BEBR) high population projects may need to be considered in addition to medium to make sure the LRTP is adequately prepared for growth o Evaluation criteria needs work -some are too subjective and need clearer definition. The evaluation criteria example in the presentation was not the same as the matrix in the whitepaper. The example was very specific, the whitepaper is too vague. o How will Multi-Use Corridors of Regional Economic Significance (M-CORES) influence LRTPs and the travel demand model? o Concerns that Adaptation of Coastal Urban and Natural Ecosystems (ACUNE) Natural won’t be out until June 2020, Transit Development Plan (TDP) won’t be ready until September 2020 and M-CORES task force recommendations won’t be available until October 2020 - how can all of this be integrated into the LRTP? o From the Conservancy - add goals to incorporate Complete Streets; maintain or restore natural wetland flows; clarify evaluation criteria - how will scores be determined, how will impact on achieving climate change goal be measured? How will safety be measured? o Request for MPO staff to make general corrections in the draft document including: - Goodland doesn’t have a CRA; Appendix says “boards” instead of “committees”; correct the reference to Conservancy of SW Florida; add Naples Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) and Marco Island Chamber of Commerce to Adviser Network; o Why pay for display ads in 4 newspapers, when they have not proven to be effective o Why is there only one goal addressing multimodal - should give more priority to connectivity, analyze variety of scenarios o For Vision - look at the County’s Community Character Plan and consider adding back a reference to freight or goods 10.A Packet Pg. 151 09/13/2019 o Include TAC in emails to Adviser Network - they can help get the word out via email and social media, Public Transit and Neighborhood Enhancement Division (PTNE) can include information on buses. The draft vision statement, goals and objectives, and evaluation criteria are included in Attachment 2. The consultant will provide a presentation and update the Board on the tasks that have occurred over the summer and will lead a discussion related to updated Goals and Objectives and evaluation criteria.

The Collier MPO is primarily responsible for managing the demands on the Collier County area existing transportation network,which includes the City of Naples,City of Marco Island,and Everglades City,and planning for future needs.The Collier MPO was established in 1982 following the Federal Highway Act that requires urbanized areas to develop transportation plans and programs as a condition to receive federal capital or operating assistance.The Collier MPO is governed by federal law (23 USC 134),with regulations included in 23 CFR 450, and uses federal,state and local funds to carry out a Comprehensive,Cooperative and Continuing (3-C)planning process that establishes a county wide vision for the transportation system.The Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP)is a central part of achieving this vision.The Collier MPO is currently governed by a nine (9)member board of elected officials. This PIP is consistent with the Collier MPO Public Participation Plan (PPP)adopted February 8,2019. 10.A.1 Packet Pg. 156 Attachment: LRTP Public Involvement Plan (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan 4 The major steps in the public participation process are matched to the following major milestones in the LRTP development process: •Land Use and Socioeconomic Data Development •Data Review and Analysis •Needs Plan Development •Transportation Alternatives •Alternatives Testing •Financial Resource Analysis •Cost Feasible Plan •Draft 2045 LRTP •Adoption During each phase, various techniques for outreach and information sharing will be employed. These techniques include public workshops, focus groups, public hearings, newsletters, website, and public service announcements. Each phase's outreach techniques are detailed this PIP.

Collier County has an estimated 2017 population of 356,774. The 2017 Median Household Income in Collier County is $62,407 compared with $50,883 for the state of Florida as a whole. The 2017 Percent of Households Below Poverty Level is 13% in Collier County, compared with 16% for Florida.1 Collier County Land Use Characteristics 1 2017 American Community Survey (ACS) 5-yr. Estimates, Tables S0101, DP03, CP03 Collier County has large land areas that are mostly State and Federal conservation lands (see Conservation Lands on map to the left). The conservation lands provide recreational opportunities and help sustain the area’s natural environment. They also constrain development. These conservation lands buffer Collier County from the intense traffic impacts and pressures that interconnectivity brings to urban areas. As a result, Collier County has a minimal system of Federal Aid Eligible roadways, which constrains the availability of State and Federal funding for the MPO. 10.A.1 Packet Pg. 159 Attachment: LRTP Public Involvement Plan (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan 7 The primary goal of the PIP is to ensure that all citizens regardless of race,color,religion,national origin,sex,age, disability,or familial status,have an equal opportunity to participate in the MPO’s decision-making process.This PIP was developed to comply with Federal and State public involvement requirements for MPOs in Florida. Federal public involvement requirements specific to the LRTP state that the following parties should be included in the development of the LRTP: Public agencies Representatives of public transportation employees Public ports Freight shippers Providers of freight transportation services Private providers of transportation Representatives of users of public transportation Representatives of users of pedestrian walkways and bicycle transportation facilities Representatives of the disabled Other interested parties using the participation plan developed consistent with 23 C.F.R.450.316(a). Federal Strategies for Implementing Requirements for LRTP Updates for the Florida MPOs (January 2018)states that for LRTPs,MPO Boards,their advisory committees,and the public,should have the opportunity to periodically review the LRTP products,interim tasks,and reports that result in the final LRTP documentation.Furthermore,this guidance also states that final adopted LRTP documentation should be available electronically via the Internet;it should be available at the MPO offices,no later than 90 days after adoption.

The goals and objectives of the transportation plan are also established to help realize this vision. The goals and objectives of the LRTP ultimately guide the entire LRTP development process by creating the basis for a decision-making framework through which projects can be evaluated and ranked against one another to define and document project priorities. Planning Partners for the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) 2045 LRTP Update include the Collier MPO Board and committees, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), MPO Adviser Network, local tribal governments, Lee County (through the Lee County MPO Interlocal Agreement), and other various outreach partners in the community. As part of an initial outreach, the Collier MPO staff addressed the MPO Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) and Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) during their regular meetings on May 20, 2019, to request input on their vision for the 2045 LRTP Update. Initial input received from the TAC included: • Adding a goal related to consideration of sea level rise and coastal vulnerability • Adding a goal or emphasis area to address autonomous / connected vehicles. This White Paper documents the proposed Vision, Goals and Objectives, and Evaluation Criteria of the 2045 LRTP Update, which build upon the existing Collier MPO 2040 LRTP. These proposed elements are intended to be reviewed, discussed, and revised if desired, by the MPO Board and committees. During the LRTP Update process, the MPO Board staff and consultants will periodically attend MPO Board and Committee Meetings to present 2045 LRTP Update findings and request input from Board and committee members. Input, as well as revisions resulting from this outreach, will be documented in the Public Involvement Plan Summary Report and be reflected in the 2045 LRTP Update. As an example, the comments provided by the TAC at their May 20th, 2019 meeting have been incorporated into Goals 10 and 11 of this White Paper. Proposed Draft LRTP Vision Statement A draft vision statement was presented to the MPO Board at the May 10, 2019, meeting and to the CAC/TAC on May 20, 2019. Based on comments made during the MPO Board and committee meetings, the consultants and staff expanded the draft vision statement to read as: “The Collier MPO 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan envisions the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of people and goods while addressing current and future transportation demand, environmental sustainability, and community character.” However, input on the draft vision is required from the MPO Board and committees to ensure the vision best reflects the vision for the 2045 LRTP Update. “The Collier MPO 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan envisions the development of an integrated multimodal transportation system to facilitate the safe and efficient movement of people and goods while addressing current and future transportation demand, environmental sustainability, and community character.” 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 185 Attachment: Goals Objectives and Decision Making Framework (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update) 3 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan Proposed Goals and Objectives The Collier MPO 2045 LRTP Update will address federal mandates for regional transportation planning. The current transportation legislation, Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act), was signed into law on December 4, 2015, and establishes requirements for developing LRTPs. In January 2018, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) issued the Federal Strategies for Implementation Requirements for LRTP Updates for the Florida Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) .1 This document notes that MPOs are now required to address the following New Planning Factors: • Improve the resiliency and reliability of the transportation system, and reduce or mitigate storm water impacts of surface transportation; and • Enhance travel and tourism. MPOs are now required to consider the following 10 Federal Planning Factors in the planning process: Source: FDOT MPO Program Management Handbook, Rev July 2019 1 https://fdotwww.blob.core.windows.net/sitefinity/docs/default-source/content/planning/policy/metrosupport/resources/lrtp-expectations- 2018.pdf?sfvrsn=cfb8b8c6_0 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 186 Attachment: Goals Objectives and Decision Making Framework (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update) 4 Listed below are the proposed 2045 LRTP Goals and Objectives. The first eight goals and associated objectives originated in the 2040 LRTP. These were presented for consideration to the Collier MPO Board on May 10, 2019. Two additional proposed goals and associated objectives were added in response to the one of the New Planning Factors as well as input received from the May 20, 2019, TAC Meeting. Proposed Goals 9 and 10 address sustainability and resiliency, which are becoming more important in transportation planning as extreme weather events such as flooding, severe heat, and intense storms threaten the long-term investments that Federal, State, and local governments have made in transportation infrastructure. Additionally, The FDOT Office of Policy Planning issued Guidance for Assessing Planning Impacts and Opportunities of Automated, Connected, Electric and Shared-Use Vehicle. 2 in May 2018, which notes that a key role of MPOs in supporting the transition to an Automated, Connected, Electric and Shared- Use (ACES) future, will include developing policies and prioritizing projects that encourage shared use of vehicles. Therefore, new FDOT requirements state that LRTPs, must at a minimum: • Assess capital investment and other measures necessary to make the most efficient use of existing transportation facilities to relieve vehicular congestion, improve safety, and maximize the mobility of people and goods. Such efforts must include, but are not limited to, consideration of infrastructure and technological improvements necessary to accommodate advances in vehicle technology, such as autonomous technology and other developments. [s.339.175(7)(c)(2), F.S.] In response to the new FDOT requirement, Goal 11: Consider Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (A/V) Technology in Future, was added. The 2045 LRTP proposed goals and related objectives are listed below. The Goals provide a framework for what the LRTP is trying to achieve. The Objectives (bullets under goals) provide specific metrics on how to achieve each goal. The proposed list requires discussion, analysis, and input amongst MPO Board and committee members to determine if these goals and objectives will best meet the longer-term vision. Changes to consider include adding new goals, refining the proposed goals, as well as addition and refinement of the proposed objectives. 2045 LRTP Proposed Goals and Associated Objectives 1. Goal: Ensure the Security of Transportation System for Users • Enhancing important evacuation routes • Maintain a sound emergency management plan for Collier County 2.

Goal: Promote Multi-modal Solutions • Increase public transit ridership • Increase the number of covered bus shelters • Increase the miles of sidewalks • Increase the miles of bike paths and multi-use trails • Improve air quality • Improve quality of life • Promote healthy living 8. Goal: Promote the Integrated Planning of Transportation and Land Use • Coordinate with local governments to assure transportation plans and programs are supportive of local land use plans • Coordinate with local governments to assure land use decisions support a sustainable transportation system • Assure that local growth management objectives are reflected in transportation plans and programs • Assure that transportation plans and projects promote economic and environmental sustainability for Collier County • Assure that local governments are viewed as team members in the development of transportation plans and individual projects 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 188 Attachment: Goals Objectives and Decision Making Framework (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update) 6 9. Goal: Promote Sustainability in the Planning of Transportation and Land Use • Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve the quality of life • Promote compatibility between transportation improvements and planned land use and economic development patterns • Minimize the environmental impact of future growth and transportation • Improve the sustainability of communities through increased housing choice and reduced auto-dependency • Ensure that mobility benefits positively affect low income residents • Engage a diverse public in the development of the region’s transportation system 10. Goal: Consider Climate Change Vulnerability and Risk in Transportation Decision Making • Identify key climate impacts of concern (rising sea levels, hurricanes, etc.) • Identify sensitive assets and thresholds for impacts • Identify, evaluate, and adopt strategies to address identified vulnerabilities • Screen projects during planning to avoid making investments in particularly vulnerable areas • Include resilience in the criteria for evaluating projects for funding • Evaluate facilities repeatedly repaired or replaced 11. Goal: Consider Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (A/V) Technology in Future • Currently FDOT District One is focused on deployment and safety issues so that they can prepare for the impacts of this transformative new technology; therefore, there is currently little guidance on implementing this technology into future planning programs. New guidance and developments will be considered during the LRTP process. 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan Proposed Evaluation Criteria Like the proposed goals and objectives, the following proposed Evaluation Criteria (see Table 1) build upon the Evaluation Criteria in the 2040 LRTP. Evaluation criteria are used to evaluate and then compare how well potential transportation projects meet the goals and objectives. Each goal is assigned a weighting factor which places more emphasis on certain goals that require more focus in the Collier MPO transportation system. The purpose of having a project evaluation criterion is to show the advantages and disadvantages of the proposed projects in relation to each other. Ultimately this type of evaluation is used to shape the recommendations and prioritize transportation projects in the Needs Assessment and Cost Feasibility Plan. The proposed Evaluation Criteria presented in Table 1, require discussion, analysis, and input amongst MPO Board and committee members to determine if they are effective in prioritizing transportation projects. Additional changes to consider include revising the evaluation criteria to reflect new or different data sources; and revising the weighting factors to best reflect current priorities and the MPO’s adopted performance targets. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 189 Attachment: Goals Objectives and Decision Making Framework (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update) 7 Table 1.

Draft 2045 LRTP Evaluation Criteria Goal Evaluation Criteria 10. Consider Climate Change Vulnerability and Risk in Transportation Decision Making (Goal received a weighting factor of 1) Project promotes transportation infrastructure resiliency in the face of climate change and sea level rise = 3 (minor), 4 (medium), 5 (major) 11. Consider Autonomous and Connected Vehicles (A/V) Technology in the Future (Goal received a weighting factor of 1) Project enhances the ability to introduce A/V Technology in the Future = 3 (minor), 4 (medium), 5 (major) Transportation Performance Management (TPM) Reporting Requirements in the LRTP According to FDOT’s MPO Program Management Handbook, Chapter 9.7.1 TPM Reporting Requirements in the LRTP, MPOs are required to provide ongoing performance information and progress towards achieving performance targets in the LRTP. The LRTP must include a description of all applicable performance measures and targets used in assessing the performance of the transportation system in the MPO planning area. The LRTP must also include a System Performance Report (SPR) that evaluates the condition and performance of the transportation system with respect to the MPO’s performance targets. The SPR must include progress achieved by the MPO in meeting the performance target in comparison with system performance recorded in previous reports, including baseline data. If Collier MPO chooses to develop multiple scenarios when developing the LRTP, the SPR must include an analysis of how the preferred scenario has improved the conditions and performance of the transportation system and how changes in local policies and investments have impacted the costs necessary to achieve the identified performance targets. Currently, there is no standard template or guidance from FHWA or FTA for the required description of the applicable performance measures and targets or for the SPR. However, FDOT has created templates MPOs may use to develop LRTP language specific to each MPO. This documentation can be included in the body of the LRTP or as an appendix. The requirement to include a SPR in the LRTP only has to be met at the time that the LRTP is updated. It does not have to be updated when the LRTP is amended. In 2012, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21) Act established performance-driven and outcome-based requirements to align Federal transportation funding with national goals and track progress towards achievement of these goals. The purpose of this performance-based program is for states departments of transportation, MPOs, and public transportation providers to invest resources in projects that, collectively, make progress toward achievement of the national goals. The figure below presents the Federal Transportation Performance Management Framework.3 The FAST Act in 2015 affirmed this TPM approach by requiring MPOs to establish performance targets 3 FDOT Office Policy Planning, MPO Program Management Handbook, Revised July 2019 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 191 Attachment: Goals Objectives and Decision Making Framework (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update) 9 for each measure to be achieved within a specified time period. MPOs are required to provide ongoing performance information and progress towards achieving performance targets in the LRTP and must include a SPR on all applicable performance measures and targets used in assessing the performance of the transportation system in the MPO planning area and include a system performance report. The system performance report in the LRTP only has to be met at the time that the LRTP is updated (not during amendments). Source: FDOT MPO Program Management Handbook, Rev July 2019 On November 9, 2018, Collier MPO adopted FDOT’s performance measures and targets for safety, pavement condition, bridge condition, and system performance, and the local Transit Agency Targets established by the Board of County Commissioners. Since the SPR is a new requirement, the initial LRTP Update will focus on baseline performance. MPO staff reported on progress made concerning the required TPM measures and targets to the MPO Board in 2018 and will do so again in 2019. The 2045 LRTP SPR will incorporate the most current performance data available at the time it is finalized. MPO staff’s current understanding of the new requirements is that the Cost Feasible Plan (CFP) constitutes the “preferred scenario” and as such, the SPR must include an analysis of how the CFP will improve the conditions and performance of the transportation system baseline conditions, and how the LRTP policies and project priorities have impacted the costs necessary to achieve the identified performance targets. Collier MPO’s adopted performance measures and targets are shown in Table 2 on the following page. 10.A.2 Packet Pg. 192 Attachment: Goals Objectives and Decision Making Framework (10032 : Envision 2045 - Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update) 10 Table 2.

Pledge of Allegiance Councilman Hutchison led the Pledge of Allegiance. Commissioner McDaniel made a motion to allow Commissioner Saunders to participate by telephone due to exceptional circumstances. Second by Commissioner Fiala. Carried unanimously. 4. Approval of the Agenda, Previous Minutes, and Consent Items A. Approval of Appointment to the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (Larry Smith, PE) B. Approve the Second Amendment to the MPO Lease Agreement and the Amended and Restated Staff Services Agreement between the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization and the Collier County Board of County Commissioners C. April 12, 2019 MPO Board Meeting Minutes Commissioner Taylor moved to approve the Agenda, Previous Minutes, and Consent Items. Second by Councilwoman Middelstaedt. Carried unanimously. 5. Public Comments for Items not on the Agenda Rae Ann Burton - Has a concern with the County-owned land on the Randall curve; whatever is built there will either enhance or destroy the rural environment. Of the three proposals presented at public meeting, Shy Wolf Sanctuary received the most votes - 64. What is built in the area must benefit Golden Gate Estates and not the developers. The money from the sale belongs to GAC Land Trust and all should be used for the benefit of Golden Gate Estates. 6. Agency Updates A. FDOT Ms. Peters – Gave an update on the Trail Blvd. sidewalk project. Final inspection completed; contractor working with FDOT on punch list items. Lighting final inspection completed. Signalization final inspection held, punch list generated. FDOT has held a series of meetings with the Lighthouse of Collier - Center for Blindness and Vision Loss. FDOT has followed up by installing Audible Ped Signals (APS) at a number of intersections throughout Collier County. Ms. Peters will continue to follow up with local law enforcement and the Community Traffic Safety Team regarding the Lighthouse’s concerns about red light running. Commissioner Taylor - What is the progress regarding the red-light running devices and is it an FDOT issue or is it a legislative issue? Ms. Peters - On this type of matter FDOT partners with law enforcement on information they receive from local citizens, where these occurrences are identified. Then law enforcement takes over. Commissioner Taylor - Requested update on intersection cameras that were removed. Secretary LK Nandam - FDOT does not manage that program. By statute, cameras can be installed if enforcement agencies choose to. FDOT has a permit process to follow when placed on state roads. Councilman Buxton - Requested information on the managed lanes study on I-75. Mr. Burch – FDOT is studying I-75 Corridor through Lee/Collier Counties, Sarasota/Manatee/Charlotte and I-4/ in Polk County. Purpose is to investigate future needs of I-75 - capacity needs, adding lanes (up to 8-10). Study will consider all types of managed lanes, including express lanes, freight lanes, HOV lanes, and regular general use lanes. Study will review all existing interchanges; determine improvements needed to accommodate more lanes 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 226 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach or general operation improvements. FDOT has agreed to look at potential new interchanges including one at Vanderbilt Beach Rd in Collier. Lee/Collier County study will cost about $10 million; take 4-5 years to complete. $11 million in Sarasota/Manatee and Charlotte and $11 million in Polk County. Data collection varies from how many people are on the road, where they get on, where they get off, why are the drivers using it, are they local trips, are they long distance trips, noise, etc. to determine need to expand number of lanes.. Widening I-75 will cost billions of dollars; this is a long-term project. Commissioner McDaniel - Total cost of study comes out to $30 million. Secretary LK Nandam - FDOT selected a consultant to do these studies and is in contract negotiations. An interstate program manager consultant was hired for the overall program, responsible for creating community and public engagement plan. Regular updates will be given to MPO. The outcome will include plan geometrics and priority list. Commissioner McDaniel – Understands process is lengthy and complex, but constituents cannot fathom the cost. No surprise that costs have risen to $10 million/mile for FDOT to build a road - should be done differently. Commissioner Fiala - If it takes five years just to do the study, how is it going to help the building process if the growth in population is happening so rapidly? How valid the study is when there are other processes such as bidding that will need to be completed before construction can begin. Secretary LK Nandam - the study will define what I-75 is going to look like. As funding becomes available, segments will be tackled in order of priority. If there is a time gap, a minor re-evaluation will be done to make sure the study is still valid. Councilman Brechnitz - Designing 100 miles of road and taking four years for just a study is puzzling to the average citizen. Mr. Burch - The study is very in-depth with many State and Federal rules, guidelines, and requirements ranging from endangered species, noise, air, etc. It is a complex process, but ensures use of State and Federal funding to make improvements. Commissioner McDaniel - MPOs provide the forum for communication for people to express where those needs are and for prioritization. The people who drive in these areas are the ones who really know the deficiencies in the system. Mr. Burch – Study has in-depth communications plan involving outreach to local businesses, residents and government officials. Maintaining the communication and level of commitment to the residents and elected officials will not only be important to the project but important to the Department. B. MPO Executive Director Ms. McLaughlin - Announced Ms. Brandy Otero as the new Principal Planner for the Collier MPO. Ms. Otero’s previous position (Senior Planner) was advertised and closed on Thursday. The Naples Pathway Coalition (NPC) approached Ms. McLaughlin requesting an MPO Board resolution of support for the Paradise Coast Trail Vision. Checking in with the Board before introducing a draft resolution to the advisory committees. Will limit resolution’s statement of support to how the NPC vision relates to the recently adopted Bicycle & Pedestrian Master Plan (BPMP). The vision is consistent with the SUNTrail network and the proposed Spine Trail Network in the BPMP. Ms. McLaughlin asked the Board if they are comfortable with her pursuing this resolution with the committees. Commissioner McDaniel - Concerned that the map shows a wide path through areas that don’t have roads, particularly that go out along I-75 and through the middle of Golden Gate Estates, and the wide path along US 41. Concern is based upon the previous direction and discussions regarding the River of Grass Greenway issue. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 227 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commission Saunders – Agreed with Commissioner McDaniel regarding being cautious not to send out the wrong signal. He supported the resolution. Councilman Hutchison - Inquired about the new resolution and how it differs. Ms. McLaughlin explained that it is consistent with BPMP. The proposed study corridor that goes east and north to Immokalee and would connect Golden Gate Estates, Ave Maria, and Immokalee is included in the BPMP, because it came out in public meetings as a desired connection. However, how to make these connections has not been determined and needs to be studied further. Councilman Hutchison - Does staff have a map showing which portions of the Vision are old and which are new? Ms. McLaughlin - Will bring back a map that differentiates the existing alignment for the SUNTrail with what is new. The map will be part of the advisory committee review. Ms. Avola - NPC hired Kimley-Horn as consultants to make the vision become a reality and put together a plan. The NPC has worked together with Trinity Scott and the MPO to come up with an off-road multi- use path system that is in unison with BPMP. She explained how it would improve the area, make safer commuter transportation for citizens in Immokalee/Ave Maria/ Golden Gate, provide a recreation corridor, and healthier lifestyle. The wide swath indicated would be the proposed study area. The next step would be a feasibility study. Being that the trail would be approximately 70 miles long, it would also become a destination trail. The NPC is exploring all sorts of funding options private and public. The project is still in the preliminary stages. Commissioner McDaniel - What luck has NPC had coordinating with FPL? There are enormous transmission lines crossing the state that are sorely unutilized. Ms. Avola – NPC will work with FPL as part of the next step however the vision has some very strong connections and NPC will be looking at utilizing utility corridors and canals. Councilman Brechnitz – Requested a copy of the first plan and the second plan to better understand what is proposed. Commissioner McDaniel – asked that this item be brought back in June. Ms. McLaughlin confirmed, added that the resolution will be presented to the advisory committees in May and the Board in June. 7. Committee Chair Reports 7.A.1. Citizen Advisory Committee Chair Report Ms. Brown provided a summary to the Board of the Chair report contained in the packet, adding that the turn-out of committee members has been very good and discussions very lively. She has comments on other items on the agenda which she will address at the appropriate time. 7.B.1 Technical Advisory Committee Chair Report Ms. Lantz provided a summary to the Board of the Chair report contained in the packet, noting that questions and comments regarding the UPWP and the TIP amendment had been addressed and expected that would be the case also with the draft TIP in June. 7.C.1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Chair Report Mr. Ortman read the Chair report contained in the MPO packet to the Board . 7.D.1 Congestion Management Committee Chair Report 7.E.1 Local Coordinating Board (LCB) Commissioner Fiala provided a summary to the Board based on the Chair report in the packet. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 228 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach 8. Regular Board Action (Roll Call Required) A. Approval of Amendment to Fiscal Year 2019 – 2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Mr. Ortman - FDOT requested an amendment for a project located in Everglades City (Copeland Ave.). It was requested to better meet the needs of Everglades City and to ensure planning consistency and authorization of federal funds. The amendment is required because the project limits are being corrected to go from .2 miles to .93 miles which constitutes a major change. The original project was submitted for Datura St. and Broadway Ave. and the length was approximately .2 miles. The application changed from Datura/Broadway to Copeland Ave. The State’s system still showed the project length as .2 miles, so this amendment will correct that. The TAC asked if the southern limit of the project was correct. Staff researched and determined that the southern limit of the project was correct as shown. The TAC and CAC unanimously endorsed the amendment. Commissioner McDaniel - Requested that staff ensure this project coincide with road improvements scheduled in the area. Commissioner Solis made a motion to approve the Amendment to Fiscal Year 2019 – 2023 Transportation Improvement Program. Second by Councilwoman Middlestaedt. Roll call vote was taken with the motion passing unanimously. Commissioner Taylor Yes Commissioner Solis Yes Councilwoman Middlestaedt Yes Councilman Brechnitz Yes Commissioner McDaniel Yes Commissioner Fiala Yes Councilman Buxton Yes Commissioner Saunders Yes Councilman Hutchison Yes 9. Regular Board Action (No Roll Call) A. Approval of Amendment to FY 18/19-19/20 Unified Planning Work Program Commissioner McDaniel moved to approve the Amendment to the FY2018/19 -2019/20 Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). Second by Commissioner Taylor. Carried unanimously. B. Approval of the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Planning Grant Application and Resolution 2019-05 Commissioner Fiala moved to approve the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Planning Grant Application and Resolution 2019-05. Second by Commissioner McDaniel. Carried unanimously. C. Approve Use of SU “Box” Funds to Cover Cost Over-Run on Financial Project Number 4350131, “ITS Integrated/Standardized Network Communication.” 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 229 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Ms. McLaughlin - Current and more up-to-date cost estimates brought the project in at a higher cost. Funds are available to cover the additional project cost. By Board policy this item is being brought to the Board for discussion. The original estimate was $850,000. The project came in at $258,409 over the estimated cost. If approved, FDOT would use the remainder of the MPO FY19 SU “Box” funds [$37,268] and $221,141 from FY20 leaving a balance of $505,468. The proposal meets the eligibility criteria - FDOT recommended this project be considered, and Collier County can meet the deadlines. Commissioner Taylor moved to approve the use of SU “Box” Funds to Cover Cost Over-Run on Financial Project Number 4350131, “ITS Integrated/Standardized Network Communication.” Second by Councilwoman Middlestaedt. Carried unanimously. D. Approve Joint FDOT-MPO Joint Certification Statement Ms. McLaughlin - MPO Board approval is needed for the Chair to sign the annual Joint MPO/ FDOT Certification Statement. FDOT has made the determination that Collier MPO’s documentation is in order and is considered to be low risk. Under noteworthy practices and achievements, staff has expanded efforts in public engagement and collaboration with partner agencies, examples include collaborating with the City of Naples and the NPC on the bike tourism map, recently completing the Golden Gate Walkability Study, and the completion of the new Public Participation Plan and Bicycle Pedestrian Master Plan. Commissioner Taylor moved to approve the Joint FDOT-MPO Certification Statement. Second by Councilwoman Middlestaedt. Carried unanimously. 10. Presentations (May Require Board Action) A. FDOT SR29 Oil Well Rd to SR82 Project Development and Environmental Study (PD&E) Update Ms. Gwen Pipkin presented the PowerPoint “SR29 Project Development & Environment Study” highlighting:  A public hearing was held on Nov. 15, 2018 to present the preferred alternative. The preferred alternative included: o 4 lane divided highway from north to south o Reconfigured signalized intersection where 29 meets Westclox and at CR 846 o Adding roundabout at SR 29 and SR 82 o Reconfigured signalized intersection where the new alignment of SR 29 meets the existing SR 29 north of Westclox Street/New Market Road o Roundabout at SR 29 and SR 82  64 citizens attended the public hearing.  A petition with over 1,000 signatures requesting a crosswalk at the intersection of Westclox by the hospital area.  Other comments were received regarding Preferred Alternative, bike / pedestrian accommodations, support/opposition of roundabout at SR29 and Westclox St, and impacts for property owners on parcels.  Immediate actions that were taken after the meeting: adjustment of roadway alignment to avoid impacts to airport park and reviewed pedestrian crossing options for Westclox.  Total costs estimated at $166,736,000.  Traffic operations evaluating interim intersection improvements at SR 29 and Westclox Street.  On July 18th the SR 82 project from Gator Slough Rd. to SR 29 to add a roundabout will be let. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 230 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commissioner McDaniel – What provisions are made for pedestrians crossing at a roundabout? Ms. Pipkin - Modern roundabouts have an entry that is queued off to the right. There is an entry on the roundabout that has a crosswalk. Pedestrians only cross one direction at a time. It is a two-phase move for pedestrians. Ms. Brown - Pleased with the aggressive action that is being taken regarding Immokalee. Recommends installing a right merge lane on SR 29 and 82 that goes south into Immokalee and a west merge lane for SR 82 and SR 29 to alleviate traffic. Agrees with Commissioner McDaniel and does not feel a roundabout is safe for a heavy commercial traffic at a big intersection. Inquired about an overpass for better traffic fluidity and asked if it is possible to change at this stage. Commissioner McDaniel - The project is scheduled to be let on July 18th and the roundabout is part of the project. He has researched roundabouts and the number of crashes may not go down, but the number of fatalities is reduced significantly. Ms. Brown – When will the red light at SR 29 and Westclox be installed? Ms. Pipkin is following up on that item. The traffic signal is one of the options to address the issues. Ms. Brown would like to see improvements before season starts again. Commissioner McDaniel is working with the private sector to help identify funding for the project. B. Draft FY2020 – FY2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Eric Ortman presented the PowerPoint “FY2020- FY2024 Transportation Improvement Program” highlighting:  TIP divided into three sections, projects divided into nine different sections  Total funding increased by 24% from $398 M to $493 M  Majority of funding will go to Highway and Maintenance  All Transportation Performance Measures and Targets will be included in TIP with Consensus Planning Document  Appendix has been added  GIS maps produced, clearer and more accurate than Google Earth  Major Projects include: o Widening Projects-  SR82: SR29 to Hendry Co Line  SR 29: Oil Well Rd to Hendry Co Line o Resurfacing Projects-  I-75: Toll Booth to Broward Co: CST FY22  US41: CTS in FY 21,22,23 o Major Interchange Project  I-75 @ SR951; CST FY24 o New Projects and Major Added Phases-  16th St Bridge: New Bridge  I-75@Pine Ridge: PD&E  Airport Rd: Adding Thru Lanes  SR951: Tower Rd to Manatee Rd  Bike/Ped Projects Funded for Construction 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 231 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commissioner McDaniel – There is an item later in the agenda regarding the City of Naples not pursuing the Beach Access Sidewalk Project, however the project is still in the draft TIP. Ms. McLaughlin - City of Naples has submitted an official request to remove the project. It takes a while to go through the FDOT internal process. It is still shown in their Work Program, but an amendment should be presented sometime in the near future. Ms. Peters explained the project could not be fully removed due to the money that has been spent on the project. It must stay this year in the TIP because of the funding spent on the design phase. However next year the construction phase will be removed. It may not show up as an amendment, but it should not appear in next year’s work program. Commissioner McDaniel - Regarding SR29& SR 82, The priority should be put where people are in fact traveling. Secretary Nandam - The north segment is part of the work program for construction because it is a very small segment. The project is less than $9 million. The segment mentioned by Commissioner McDaniel is still the priority. Commissioner McDaniel – Projects where people are traveling should be given priority. It is imperative due to the many fatal accidents that have happened over the years. Councilman Hutchison - Project 4404371 described as a sidewalk/bike lane project on South Golf Drive, from Gulf Shore Blvd to US 41(running down south side of Naples Beach Hotel and golf course). Councilman Hutchison inquired about how that work would correspond with the work being done on the hotel project. Ms. McLaughlin stated that the MPO staff will check with City of Naples Streets and Drainage Department staff, agreeing that coordination is needed because of this new development. Councilman Hutchison - There are 50 to 60 vehicles parked in the right of way on various days. Is there a plan to limit parking or provide notice that parking is not allowed? Overwhelming number of vehicles park on that right-of-way close to the beach; need to plan to accommodate that or provide public notice that parking is not allowed. Water quality is very important to this state, there should be a reconsideration or alternative to pouring concrete so close to a large body of water. Ms. McLaughlin will reach out to City of Naples staff and request a presentation since this is going to be a locally-led project. Councilman Hutchison - Is any work planned on US 41from Golden Gate Parkway to 5th Ave., such as infrastructure improvements, road changes, lane diets? Secretary Nandam - There is a drainage/infrastructure issue on that segment of US41. FDOT is working on identifying funding to rebuild the drainage on US 41. Currently, FDOT is performing a study taking into account the goals of the City of Naples and Collier County. A time frame for this project has not yet been identified. Councilman Hutchinson - Why is the project not in the current Work Program if it is being studied now and what category of project does this fall under? Secretary Nandam - The study is being done by in-house design consultants; the type of project cannot be defined until the study is completed. Councilwoman Middelstaedt - Regarding Part 5 City of Everglades, packet page 328 - Everglades City has discovered a document that states the County is responsible for the maintenance of 29 (surfacing, signage, striping) and the City’s responsibility is maintenance of landscaping on the median. There have been 3 nearly fatal accidents on the roadway. The City has been reviewing the issues from a liability standpoint and has discovered this document. The agreement will be brought to the County soon. MPO needs to be aware. Mr. Ortman - A CAC member from Everglades City brought this 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 232 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach issue to attention at CAC meeting. Ms. McLaughlin - The MPO is deferring to Collier County to do the research. The results can be brought to the MPO. Commissioner Solis – Asked about the status of the widening of Vanderbilt Beach Road (VBR) east of Goodlette to 41. Ms. Scott stated that the project is within the 5-year work program and design has begun. C. FDOT Statutory Formula Report Ms. Peters presented and explained the FDOT Statutory Formula Report contained in the packet. Key points included:  This Statutory Formula Equation is not a true reflection on how the Department distributes funding; these numbers only represent the funds that the Department is required to provide 80% on.  Collier County is healthy, looking at total funds  The goal is to reach out and to collaborate with local partners. D. 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Kick-off Presentation Ms. Jones presented the PowerPoint “Envision 2045 Collier MPO Long Range Transportation plan” highlighting:  Purpose of the 2045 LRTP  2045 LRTP Requirements  Planning Emphasis Areas that must be addressed  Differences with the LRTP compared to the 2040 Opportunity for public input and outreach  2045 LRTP Schedule  2045 LRTP Goals Ms. Jones asked the Board for their vision related to growth and the future transportation system in Collier County. Councilman Hutchison - UBER made its initial public offering. What will be different, in terms of planning for autonomous vehicles, that will be fundamentally different to accommodate those kinds of changes? Ms. Jones It is difficult to predict how it will look in the future. There is policy in place that allows for the testing of autonomous vehicles. It will be a while before anything is implemented on the roadway network. There are several ongoing studies and as information becomes available, the Board will be updated. Councilman Hutchison asked if traffic will be mitigated to some extent or will it be a wash with population growth. Ms. Jones There is a potential for more vehicles in the future. Secretary Nandam - The industry is still trying to figure out what the change will mean. FDOT has issued policy direction on how to incorporate the technology into the planning process for the 2045 LRTP. The 2045 LRTP update will not give the clear vision as to what it will look like in the future. FDOT is focused on testing technology. The real impact will occur at the land-use planning level. With autonomous vehicle markets working the way they do, the way land use planning is done will be completely different particularly in determining the number of parking spaces needed. The impact to traffic infrastructure will also be different. Over the next five to ten years, the land use changes will be identified, and what the impact of those changes are to the infrastructure will be evaluated. Councilman Brechnitz – Suggested reviewing studies completed by Tesla and other communities that have already begun to plan for autonomous vehicles. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 233 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commissioner McDaniel – LRTP is completed every 5 years. The goal is to adjust the needs with the circumstances that are currently prevalent as the plan is updated. Tennessee and Louisiana are building 100-mile segments of automated connected vehicle infrastructure now. The studies are showing that there may be as much as a 30% reduction of cars in the future. E. Naples Beach Access sidewalk projects No. 4371851 Ms. McLaughlin - Presented an update on the Naples Beach Access sidewalk project. City Council voted to deny a maintenance agreement for the project and requested the project be terminated. She wanted to discuss what can be done to try to avoid having projects incur costs and then have the project dropped for one reason or another. Explained it could be because the project was not scoped properly, lacked feasibility, community changes, and then projects get dropped after spending time and money in planning. Referred to letter submitted by Mr. Greg Strakaluse that is in the packet. Explains what happened at length. MPO staff will discuss possible preventative measures with the advisory committees. As projects move forward, there may be a mechanism to have the agency requesting funding check in with their governing body to ensure there is still support for the projects. Secretary Nandam - The MPO has limited resources and over $400k was spent on design. There is a reason the Work Program is brought to the committees and the Board. When the Work Program is brought forward, it’s a good time to comment on projects, not only the new 5th year but the 4 preliminary years as well. Councilman Hutchison - The project was first conceived over 5 years ago. Ms. McLaughlin explained that the process is to program projects in the new 5th year of the work program. In addition, there is a lag between design and construction of 2 years. Councilman Hutchison - Effective communication to the people who are involved and to the people who are affected would help alleviate these types of circumstances. In a 10-year span much is changed. In the last few years water quality has become very important and this project was very close to a large body of water. Councilman Buxton - No one wants unnecessary spending. The makeup of people living in the area has changed by 80%. The taxpayers that now live in that location came to the Council and demanded this project not go through. Secretary Nandam – The MPO needs to figure out the effective communication strategy for all the projects and make sure that the MPO prioritization process keeps that in mind so that educated decisions can be made on where to continue spending resources. Councilman Hutchison - Build in the infrastructure piece that points us back to effective communication. Commissioner McDaniel – Many people don’t understand the length of time that projects take to complete. Projects are easily 7 or 8 years out once they are initiated. Communication is imperative to educate the public on the process. F. Draft 2019 Project Priorities Ms. McLaughlin - Priorities are still being vetted by the advisory committees. The Board will be asked to adopt priorities at the June meeting. When these projects are brought to the Board, staff wants to ensure that the projects are doable, feasible, and desired. Presented the draft priorities in the packet. Regarding new Highway Priority – MPO staff suggested adding Corkscrew Road to the 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 234 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Highway priorities list as a safety project. Collier County’s engineering group recommended this proposal. Commissioner Taylor – Question about the proposed diverging diamond on Pine Ridge Rd. Ms. Scott - This priority is only for the I-75 interchange area. The amount shown is only a cost estimate. $31 million in funding included as part of the County’s sales tax referendum. The County is working with FDOT to bridge the funding gap. The PD&E will begin around October 1st and hopefully validate the County’s previous study that shows the diverging diamond would work. This still needs to remain a priority so FDOT can come to the table and partner with the County to complete the corridor. Commissioner McDaniel – Corkscrew Road is already in process. Ms. Scott - Collier County has developed construction drawings. The road is in both Collier County and Lee County. Collier County has been trying to partner with Lee County to have them come up with their half of the funding. Collier County has requested safety funds from FDOT, but there are strict eligibility criteria for safety funding. This will give it another avenue to potentially receive funding. Ms. McLaughlin - Summarized the remaining priorities. Councilman Hutchinson – Questioned how projects get on lists. Ms. McLaughlin - Agency staff submitted projects for funding. Councilman Hutchinson – There are issues with Lake Park Elementary and congestion. Cars are queuing onto Goodlette-Frank Road and causing an issue. Ms. McLaughlin – Evaluating the queuing at schools is part of the Transportation System Performance Report project that is just getting underway. Ms. McLaughlin – Continued presenting priorities. There have been adjustments and updates to the Transportation Regional Incentive Program priorities. Strategic Intermodal System has no changes. The Transit Priority list has just been received by Collier County and will be taken to advisory committees. Commissioner McDaniel – Would like to see a partial interchange at Vanderbilt and I-75 brought into the priority list at some point. Would be a huge benefit to the community. Noted that comments are needed by next week in order to be included in the priorities for adoption. 11. Distribution Items None. 12. Member Comments Commissioner Solis - My understanding is that the interchange at Vanderbilt & I-75 has been looked at and that there were certain restrictions that may or may not make it feasible. Secretary Nandam - A planning level analysis has been incorporated into the PD&E Study for I-75. The answer on that study would hopefully be available sooner than five years. Commissioner Solis - requested that the presentation explaining the MPO, FDOT and local agency project funding and planning process be given again. Ms. McLaughlin – Staff will coordinate with FDOT so the presentation will be given in June. Commissioner McDaniel - There has been a change in the dynamic between school planning and road infrastructure. With the ‘School Choice’ option, parents can choose their child’s school and drive the students, potentially adding to the number of vehicles on the roadway. There has been no cost- consideration for the impacts on our infrastructure to support the intensity of what is transpiring with 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 235 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach schools. Would like to see the MPO make some suggestions and adjustments with regards to the impact fees that schools collect, and potentially having a portion of those fees set aside to assist with planning, engineering, future development, and construction costs. Lee County School District offers school choice, but they bus their students. The school bus systems have around 10 thousand route trip changes a year. Going forward this will need to be addressed. Councilman Hutchison - The safety of our children and the ones who are transporting them should be important to our community and the MPO. The TIP 2020-2024 draft described 10 planning factors, one of which is to increase the safety of the transportation system for motorized and non-motorized users. A project called Vision Zero has been adopted which calls for zero fatalities, zero serious injuries, etc. Heart attacks are often covered up by the trauma resulting from vehicle accidents. There is a network of Automated External Defibrillators (AED) in the City of Naples. There is an opportunity to extend the knowledge of A.E. D’s and their locations and abilities to save lives in the most heavily traveled roadways in Collier County. Would like staff to explore the merit of adding AED signage to FDOT assets along highways and appropriate bicycle/pedestrian pathways in Collier County. Asked that through a consensus decision from the MPO Board, the Executive Director and FDOT be directed to review the merits of increasing the safety of Collier transportation system by incorporating A.E.D wayfinding signage at appropriate locations. Could be reviewed? Secretary Nandam – Vision Zero is a goal that is adopted by FDOT. It is a syst ems based approached. However, wayfinding signage is a local community initiative. FDOT will be a partner, but it should be a local effort. Councilman Hutchinson – Suggested adding it to the same signs advertising food and gas on I-75.

Committee Chair Reports 7.A.1. Citizen Advisory Committee Chair Report Mr. Ortman, Senior Planner, presented the Chair Report provided in the packet. 7.B.1 Technical Advisory Committee Chair Report 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 238 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Lorraine Lantz presented the Chair Report provided in the packet. Noted that not having a quorum is unusual for the committee. Confirmed that changes suggested by the committee have been made in the Transportation Improvement Program. Noted that lengthy discussion held on reaffirming support for LAP projects, including reimbursement of funds, better communication regarding MPO process, priority timing changes, Calling for Projects for new third year instead of fifth year and its potential problems with solutions. Committee discussion showed support for adding safety projects to SU. 7.C.1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) Chair Report Mr. Bonness, gave Chair Report included in packet. Regarding Naples Pathways Coalition’s (NPC) Paradise Coast Trail Vision, explained the vote in which six were in favor and three were opposed or abstained in support of the resolution. The committee member from Marco Island voted against the resolution because the NPC’s Vision does not include trail connections to Marco Island. Provided more detail on committee voting on Vanderbilt Drive sidewalk versus a pathway and deleting Immokalee Rd. project. Expanding SU project priorities – add safety based on bike/ped safety; return funding amount to original categories when feasible; have unfunded project list in-place. Councilman Brechnitz asked why Marco Island excluded from Paradise Coast Trail Vision. Mr. Bonness rNPC received letters of objection from Conservancy raising issues that need to be worked out. Councilman Brechnitz evaluating impacts on mangroves should be part of the feasibility study; a single letter from a private entity should not exclude Marco Island from feasibility study. Ms. McLaughlin recommended addressing the issue in more detail under agenda item 9E. 7.D.1 Congestion Management Committee Chair Report N/A. 7.E.1 Local Coordinating Board (LCB) N/A 8. Regular Board Action (Roll Call Required) A. Approval of Amendment to Fiscal Year 2019 – 2023 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Mr. Ortman introduced the topic. Commissioner McDaniel Moved Approval Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Roll call vote was taken with the motion passing unanimously. Commissioner Solis Yes Councilwoman Middlestaedt Yes Councilman Brechnitz Yes Commissioner McDaniel Yes Commissioner Fiala Yes Councilman Buxton Yes Commissioner Saunders Yes B. Adopt Fiscal Year 2020-2024 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) Mr. Ortman presented the Executive Summary included in the packet. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 239 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commissioner McDaniel – How often do we review this? I was looking at the interchange improvements. I think the partial interchange at Vanderbilt ought to be added into this, get it on the list. Ms. McLaughlin – The priority list in this year’s TIP is last year’s priority list. The list you’ll be adopting today will go into next year’s TIP. Commissioner McDaniel – It’s not on either list, this year’s or last year’s and if it’s not on a list, it’s not a priority. Commissioner Solis – We haven’t had any discussions about that. I requested at last meeting that we have a discussion whether it’s even feasible to do a partial interchange in that location. But I don’t think we can add something as a priority if we haven’t discussed about it. We need to understand the process for identifying priorities. Ms. Mclaughlin – We’ll go into more detail about the process later on the agenda. Projects have to be identified in the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) in order to be prioritized for the TIP. The Vanderbilt partial interchange was not recognized as a need in the 2040 LRTP. Priorities generally come from the LRTP’s Cost Feasible Plan. None-the-less, due to previous Board discussions on this topic, FDOT has included a feasibility study for the partial interchange in its large study for I-75 as a precursor to this MPO having to invest money in doing an Interchange Justification Report (IJR). Commissioner McDaniel moved approval; Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Roll Call vote taken with motion passing unanimously. Commissioner Solis Yes Councilwoman Middlestaedt Yes Councilman Brechnitz Yes Commissioner McDaniel Yes Commissioner Fiala Yes Councilman Buxton Yes Commissioner Saunders Yes 9. Regular Board Action (No Roll Call) A. Adopt by Resolution 2019 Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Priorities Ms. McLaughlin gave a brief presentation on the new TRIP priorities for 2019, which must be adopted by Resolution. Noted late arriving change - the County has removed Veteran’s Memorial Blvd. due to timing issue. Commissioner McDaniel: when are these priorities picked? We haven’t had a joint meeting in a couple of years. Ms. McLaughlin projects initiated by staff; ideally Boards would vote together in a joint meeting; but Boards are acting independently this year. Ms. Scott: TRIP requires 50/50 match so won’t see a lot of annual changes unless AUIR changes. Will cover in more detail in upcoming item 10A on the agenda. Did you have a specific project? Immokalee and Randall dropped off. Ms. Scott It’s being funded by County Sales Tax referendum. Commissioner McDaniel moved approval. Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Carried unanimously. B. Approve 2019 Congestion Management, Highway, Bridge and Transit Priorities Ms. McLaughlin provided an overview of the 2019 Congestion Management, Highway, Bridge and Transit Priorities, reporting on advisory committee actions and recommendations. The Congestion Management priorities are new this year. Corkscrew Road has been added to the Highway Project Priorities for 2019 under the new category of Safety, noted Board’s previous approval of safety as a category. The 2019 Bridge project 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 240 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach priorities remain the same as last year. County staff submitted new Transit Priorities for 2019 based on adopted plans. Commissioner Fiala – Please remind us what “SU” stands for. Ms. McLaughlin – Surface Transportation- Urban funds, now known as the Surface Transportation Program (STP) Block Grant program allocated to the MPO due to its status as a Transportation Management Area (TMA). This is where the Board has a very direct say in prioritizing funds, but it is a cooperative process with FDOT. Councilwoman Middelstaedt moved approval. Commissioner Solis seconded. Motion passed unanimously. C. Approve 2019 Bike-Pedestrian Priorities Ms. McLaughlin presented an overview of advisory committee recommendations regarding the 2019 Bike- Pedestrian Priorities, explaining that the Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committee voted to eliminate the Shared Use Path on Immokalee Rd. which County staff concurs with. BPAC also voted to delete Vanderbilt Dr as a priority, but later included it as a bicycle lane instead of a sidewalk by a show of hands. Ms. Scott gave a Powerpoint Presentation (available upon request) describing the right-of-way and drainage constraints that led to the design to add sidewalks to both sides of the roadway. The project in the current TIP is to construct the sidewalk on the east side of the roadway. There is no available ROW to add bike lanes or to widen the sidewalk. This section of roadway is signed at 35 mph. It is a very well used area from perspective of bikes and pedestrians. Commissioner Solis –In order to put the bike lanes in, it would require additional ROW of both sides? Ms. Scott – Potentially. Probably a little more than 10’ on both sides, adding impervious surface, probably have to increase drainage. Would have to look at water quality again. It’s a big issue, this is a direct release into the bay. Commissioner McDaniel – In order to have it entirely functional, why don’t we add elevated sidewalk over the drainage. Ms. Scott – We are saying we are fine with sidewalk. If the Board wants to direct staff to change the Scope of the project, that will significantly change the project. Our recommendation is to continue forward with the project as described in the TIP. Commissioner Solis moved approval. Commissioner Saunders seconded. Motion passed unanimously. D. Approve the Selection Committee’s ranking and authorize entering into negotiations with Tindale Oliver for a contract related to Request for Professional Services (RPS) Number 19 -7562, “Collier County Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) Mr. Ortman provided a briefing on the Request for Professional Services, and the Selection Committee’s ranking of the top three firms out of the four who submitted. Commissioner Fiala questioned what Jacobs Engineering did right the first time and wrong the second time. Ms. McLaughlin reported that the Selection Committee felt that Jacobs Engineering had the strongest submittal, but when it came to the presentation, Tindale Oliver hit all the key points. Commissioner Fiala moved approval; Councilwoman Middelstaedt seconded. Approved unanimously. E. Adopt Resolution Supporting Naples Pathways Coalition’s Paradise Coast Trail Vision Ms. McLaughlin introduced the Resolution supporting the Naples Pathways Coalition’s (NPC) Paradise Coast Trail Vision. Jim Wood, Kimley-Horne, consultants to the NPC, gave the presentation, which is included in the meeting packet. (All presentations are available upon request.). The Feasibility Study will bring a lot of clarity to answer the questions raised – available ROW, types of funding available, breaking the project down into 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 241 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach phases. Concluded by addressing Councilman Brechnitz’s remarks made earlier. Intent is to build something that is part of a larger system. Not intended to be exclusionary in anyway. There are other facilities planned – paved shoulders, bike lanes for example – all the work done for the Bike/Ped Master Plan. Councilman Brechnitz – With all the large developments going in, why wouldn’t it make sense to have a Shared Use Path along 951? A Feasibility Study should determine what’s feasible. Why eliminate it without studying the feasibility? Ms. McLaughlin – This was studied as part of the development of the Bike-Ped Master Plan. At the time it was determined to limit potential environmental impacts due to sensitivity of abutting lands. If the Board wishes to direct staff to look at it again, staff will do so and report back in the Fall, I would recommend that the Board put that responsibility on your staff for the time being rather than on the Naples Pathways Coalition. Councilman Brechnitz – We don’t know the extent of the impacts. We don’t know the mitigation. A feasibility study would tell us that. Ms. McLaughlin – Yes, but the Feasibility Study would have to expend a great deal of its resources on studying this, you can see that the rest of the Vision doesn’t go through environmentally sensitive land. Marco Island has not been excluded in the Bike-Ped Master Plan, it hasn’t been forgotten or ignored. We did have support from our advisory committees at the time. Not to say we couldn’t look at it again and we probably should. It’s just a caution that it would be expensive to review. Commissioner Solis – Clarified that the Naples Pathways Coalition is going to engage in a study and it is their study, they are going to raise funds for it. This is an effort by the NPC to help us envision this interconnectivity. They are asking the Board to support just the vision of it. They are not asking us to include Marco Island in our Bike-Ped Master Plan. That’s our plan. This is their plan. They want to do it consistent with our Bike-Ped Master Plan. Ms. Avola - Yes, the corridor we are showing is not intended to be the only trail within Collier County. We would like to see this come to fruition and everyone connect to it, but we don’t want it to be a twenty-five year environmental struggle with the Conservancy or any other entity. This is a very ambitious project for a small nonprofit to undertake. If it is successful, we’ll have an easier time overcoming some obstacles in the futur e and connecting the whole County. That’s our vision, but this is the first chunk. It falls in line with the Bike-Ped Master Plan. Mr. Wood – This is not going to be done in isolation. Will involve MPO, County and other partners over time. Ms. McLaughlin – I think what we’re going to find that the NPC is raising funds to help with a Feasibility Study but most likely will be seeking additional funds at some point; if they are asking for State and Federal funds at some point, it will become a County or MPO study if those funds are used. Commissioner Fiala – Is there a study interested parties could read in anticipation of adding this connection to Marco Island in the future? Ms. McLaughlin – I think MPO staff has to provide you with all the information we have available that we’ve received from the Conservancy. Commissioner Taylor – Clearly this would qualify as a project for the use of TMA SU funds, but how would the resolution apply? We have to be clear what we are going to do here. Clearly this is a recreat ional trail. Environmental Justice is not part of it. We need to clarify the intent. Commissioner McDaniel – What portion of the resolution do you specifically have heartburn over? Commissioner Taylor – We have clear ranking criteria – does this fill an Environmental Justice need? This is a recreational trail, one of the benefits described is to attract tourism. There’s nothing wrong with that. There’s a reason for it. But there are very few working folks that may use it. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 242 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commissioner McDaniel - Please define what you mean by Environmental Justice (EJ)? The environmental impacts will come from the feasibility study. Commissioner Taylor – I understand EJ is two-fold. It has to do with the environment, but it also has to do with transportation and access to work. Can the Director explain in more detail? Ms. McLaughlin – EJ does have two parts. First you have to identify communities having EJ concerns including having a large minority population, high rate of poverty, lack of car ownership among other factors. We’ve mapped that for Collier County. One, related to building transportation facilities such as freeways for example - you don’t put a lot of impacts on those communities without considering whether that’s a wise thing to do or not. Two, the flip side is providing equal access to the benefits of transportation infrastructure, such as the ability to move around safely by nonmotorized travel. We’ve captured that in the Bike-Ped Master Plan. Regarding the NPC’s Pacific Coast Trail Vision, as we gain more knowledge about what needs to be done on particular segments, we will have to discuss how we move those into the mix of other priorities identified in the Bike-Ped Master Plan. But because the corridors go through a very heavily urbanized area , commuters are going to use them. In fact, the case is made in the Bike-Ped Master Plan that in an urban area, a Shared Use Path serves a transportation function. The only recreational facilities in the Bike-Ped Master Plan are in those large, green swaths shown on the map. Commissioner Taylor – If that’s the case, it solves that problem. If it’s transportation, it can be justified for using those funds [SU]. Ms. McLaughlin – That’s why the resolution says that to the extent the vision is consistent with the Bike-Ped Master Plan, the Board supports it. Commissioner Saunders – Commissioner Solis is correct. We are simply supporting this concept. I don’t think we have to add anything to the resolution. I’ll make a motion to support. Commissioner McDaniel – Second. Councilman Buxton – It seems to me that the NPC is funding this. They’ve raised $60,000. I believe they need $150,000 or more. They haven’t asked us for any money. All they want is for us to say “OK, you can go ahead raising money.” That’s all they want from us. It’s not about environmental studies or anything else. Commissioner Fiala – I do want us to study how Marco Island can be a part of this, not as part of this resolution, but study it on the side to put it in place for the future. Commissioner McDaniel – I would like to see an inclusion of Marco Island in the process especially if th ey help with the funding. What is the significance of the green dotted line on the map? Ms. McLaughlin – It’s the Golden Gate Canal; proposed through public input; remains very hypothetical; we would have to look at adjoining land uses. Commissioner McDaniel - Second question, one part of the corridor connects up to Lee County, but the other corridor stops in Immokalee. What happened to the discussion of a multiuse path on SR82? Why is there no connection up into Hendry County and Lee County? There is a Shared Use Path proposed on SR82 now and it would be “low hanging fruit” to extend the corridor to include it. Ms. Avola – Our study area, as the NPC – is limited to Collier County. We would like to connect with Lee County, but we are still in the preliminary stages of developing a Scope of Work for the feasibility study. Mr. Wood – A key issue is how the study would be scaled, how it could be scaled-up to connect to other counties. At a minimum, the study needs to answer questions about available ROW and other costs within Collier County. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 243 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commissioner Solis – I want to make sure what exactly we are talking about. This isn’t about any specific trail. NPC is proposing to do a feasibility study within corridors that are miles wide. You are looking at opportunities of what could be done. You are not speaking about specific trails now. Mr. Wood – Correct. The feasibility study will start to depict potential alternative alignments, but not get out ahead of the next phase – environmental studies. Councilman Brechnitz – The conceptual corridor is wide and general, but it does not include Marco Island which has 70,000 people living there during high season. Councilwoman Middelstaedt - Neither is Everglades City included, but that’s ok. Councilman Buxton – It’s been moved and seconded. Call for the vote. Commissioner Saunders moved to adopt the resolution. Commissioner McDaniel seconded with direction to MPO staff to study potential connections to Marco Island. Motion passed 7:1, with Councilman Brechnitz voting against. 10. Presentations (May Require Board Action) A. Joint MPO, FDOT and Local Agency Presentation on Project Programming Ms. McLaughlin began the presentation with an overview of MPO plans, policies, procedures and annual production schedule. Ms. Peters presented on FDOT’s plans, policies and 5-year work program development process and timeline. Ms. Scott presented an overview of how the County identifies and prioritizes projects, and illustrated how the entire process – MPO, FDOT, County and Local Agencies – is reliant upon plans adopted by each governmental entity. Emphasized that the TIP must be consistent with the Statewide TIP. FDOT production report card discourages changes in first fiscal year of the TIP. Consider it locked in. Second year of the TIP is difficult to modify also. Third, fourth, fifth year have time to make changes and we should have that dialogue. The MPO and FDOT portion of the presentation is included in the meeting packet. All presentations are available upon request. Commissioner Solis – Projects on County CIP come through AUIR process? Ms. Scott - Yes and No, starts with LRTP. Some projects on CIP are outside of the first block in LRTP, will hold these aside until next LRTP update. Short range and long-range planning go hand in hand. B. New Policies Regarding Project Prioritization and Programming Ms. McLaughlin gave a report on discussions MPO staff has held with the Technical, Citizens and Bicycle and Pedestrian Advisory Committees (TAC, CAC, BPAC) on expanding project priorities to include safety projects and developing a mechanism to reconfirm local governing body support for projects prior to expenditure of any state or federal funds. Recommended expanding the lists of prioritized projects to include safety projects while maintaining the current 40/40/20 split over a 5 -year period for budgeting purposes and requiring adoption of a resolution reconfirming support of a project by the local government the year prior to the year of expenditure in the TIP. Noted that Board may not feel that a change in policy is needed because better communication throughout the process would alleviate any need for a formal check-in point. Commissioner Taylor – I think we need a check in point. 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 244 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach Commissioner McDaniel: I agree. Members change [on governing bodies], staff changes over time too. There is also a staff recommendation to continue with the 40/40/20 split. Ms. McLaughlin – Yes, there is quite a lot of fluctuation in SU box, as it fluctuates, staff would come up with language that will continue to budget according to the 40/40/20 split, keeping the 100% per year over a 5-year period. As funds fluctuate and money becomes available, we would have another list, similar to the unfunded priority list discussed earlier to draw projects from to spend the funds down. Keep the 40/40/20 split and start funding safety. Commissioner McDaniel – What do the percentages refer to? Ms. McLaughlin - 40% Congestion Management, 40% Bike Ped, 20%Bridge. Commissioner McDaniel moved approval of staff recommendation. Councilman Buxton second. Passed unanimously. B. FDOT Presentation on Old US 41 PD&E Study Mr. Andrews, FDOT - gave a presentation on the Old US 41 Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) Study. The presentation is included in the meeting packet and available on request. The study will analyze safety, capacity improvement alternatives and multimodal alternatives on Old US 41 between US41 and Bonita Beach Road. Project goals include increasing roadway safety, providing accommodation s for pedestrians and cyclists, and facilitating the movement of people and freight. The project number in the MPO’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is 4351101. The construction phase has not yet been programmed. The project website will be up and running soon. Please call me in the Bartow office with any questions. Commissioner Taylor – A unified vision will require a great deal of compromise between the County and Bonita Springs. How do we accomplish this? Does the MPO need to get involved? Bonita Beach Rd. is also an issue. When should the Collier MPO approach the Lee County MPO? Ms. Scott – Recommend allowing FDOT to gather data and come up with typical sections in order to have a very informed conversation with Lee County MPO. We know from our Annual Update and Inventory Report (AUIR) that the roadway is currently exceeding its Level of Service. We are currently building the Veterans Memorial extension which comes to Old 41. In another five years we’ll have another roadway that connects to this. When FDOT comes up with typical sections we’ll be able to come up with a solution that works for both entities. Bike/ped is very important to the County. At the time we met with Mr. Andrews, the County had not yet adopted a Complete Streets policy. Our Complete Streets policy differs from Bonita Springs. Bonita’s is more geared towards bike/ped and ours is geared towards all users, consistent with FDOT’s Complete Streets policy. This is one of the small pockets of industrial zoning and that is very important to us from an economic development standpoint. Tourism is also important, people want to be able to get from Vanderbilt Beach to Bonita by bike and we’re trying to accommodate all users. Commissioner McDaniel – I agree with Commissioner Taylor. We need communication across County lines well in advance of plans for construction. 11. Distribution Items None. 12. Member Comments Commissioner Solis – Would like to congratulate FDOT staff on completion of Trail Blvd sidewalk, it actually looks pretty good and people are using it. Commissioner McDaniel – 1) I would like FDOT to look again at the intersection of SR82 and Corkscrew – we did an enormous amount of improvement to that intersection not long ago, but now traffic has to go beyond the striped line coming out of Corkscrew Rd. in order see the traffic to safely traverse the 11.A.1 Packet Pg. 245 Attachment: Letter to FDOT- Naples Beach Access Sidewalks_WITH ATTACHMENTS (10025 : Letter Requesting Termination of Naples Beach intersection. 2) Ms. Scott, south of the Immokalee bend coming onto Corkscrew Rd, I want the County to look at extending the double-laning up to the Sanctuary. We had a terrible accident there two days ago – someone pulled out of Wild Turkey and tried to pass a dump truck. Look into putting a double lane there that allows passing coming off that curve coming out of Cypress Swamp. 13. Next Meeting Date Regular Meeting – September 13, 2019 – 9:00 a.m. 14.

Thibault, Secretary Florida Department of Transportation 605 Suwannee Street Tallahassee, FL 32399-0450 Dear Secretary Thibault: On behalf of the Florida Metropolitan Planning Organization Advisory Council (MPOAC), we are pleased to transmit our 2019 Freight Priorities Program project list to FDOT for your consideration. This annual program, now in its second year, provides Florida’s MPOs with the opportunity to identify and promote freight priority projects throughout the state that facilitate freight mobility, promote economic growth, and support the goals of the Florida Transportation Plan (FTP). This list represents projects on State Roadways that are construction ready. Each project was reviewed and evaluated by the MPOAC to ensure consistency and relevance, and the project list has been approved by the Freight Advisory Committee, the Staff Directors’ Advisory Committee, and the Executive Board Committee. With our approval process complete, the MPOAC respectively submits the attached list of 30 projects (representing 14 MPOs and six (6) FDOT Districts) to FDOT. We request that the Department review and consider these priorities during the annual update to FDOT’s Five-Year Work Program across all relevant funding programs (e.g., NHFP, SIS, District Discretionary). The list is organized alphabetically by MPO within each FDOT District with each project representing a high priority ranking. In addition, a summary sheet is attached to share program highlights for this year’s submissions. We intend to reach out to your staff over the next few months to identify any priority projects the Department was able to advance as well as discuss ways we can improve the list for 2020. If you have any questions about the program or the process, please do not hesitate to contact Carl Mikyska, and please reach out directly to your MPO partners to discuss specific projects.

The FPP’s objective is to collaboratively develop a comprehensive list of projects that represents the unified input of the MPOAC. The MPOAC will update and endorse the FPP’s project list on an annual basis. Project Selection Overview The 2019 FPP Project List contains all project submissions that passed the agreed upon vetting process. The vetting process reviewed each project submission for program eligibility by verifying project information and whether each project was ready for construction funding. Key activities included: 1. The 2019 Call for Projects was distributed via email to each MPO on February 20th. The request included a program fact sheet, instructions, and a check list template. 2. Training webinars were scheduled and conducted on February 28th and March 6th to provide technical assistance to MPO staff. One-on-one phone calls were also conducted to answer specific questions. 3. MPOs were asked to complete and submit check lists for up-to-3 eligible projects. Project checklists were reviewed for completeness. Requests for additional information were submitted to each MPO. 4. Final checklists were reviewed and used to develop the 2019 FPP Project List, which was approved by the MPOAC’s Freight Committee, Staff Directors’ Advisory Commit tee, and Executive Board on April 30th. Summary of 2019 FPP Project List Highlights for the 2019 project list include:  14 of Florida’s 27 MPOs submitted a total of 30 projects representing over 93 miles of roadway.  Projects were provided by MPOs for 6 FDOT Districts.  100% of projects submitted have a PD&E completed, underway, planned, or not needed.  24 of 30 projects are on designated SIS roadways, and 9 are on the NHFN.  Funding requests totaled $2.7 billion across 30 projects; 12 asked for funding to be advanced ($375M); 15 asked for projects to be funded ($2.2B); and 3 asked for both advancement and funding ($87.6M).  All projects support at least 3 FTP goals with the majority supporting 5 or more.  Project list includes FDOT’s two FY2019 INFRA grant applications falling within MPO jurisdictions.                                                              1 “Metropolitan Planning Organizations” is not an exclusive term.
