Agenda 03/25/2025 Item #16B 2 (Authorize the electronic submission to fund the design of the widening of Santa Barbara Boulevard/Logan Boulevard from Painted Leaf Lane to Pine Ridge Road project)3/25/2025 Item # 16.B.2 ID# 2025-551 Executive Summary Recommendation to authorize the electronic submission of the County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) and the Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Applications with the Florida Department of Transportation to fund the design of the widening of Santa Barbara Boulevard/Logan Boulevard from Painted Leaf Lane to Pine Ridge Road project in the amount of $6,200,000. OBJECTIVE: To provide the design for a widened segment of Santa Barbara Boulevard/Logan Boulevard from Painted Leaf Lane to Pine Ridge Road that will optimize traffic flow, reduce delays, and improve the roadway network. CONSIDERATIONS: On December 2, 2024, Collier County was informed that FDOT was requesting projects for both County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) and Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) priorities for fiscal year 2030/2031. Both project applications must be submitted no later than March 31, 2025, for consideration for CIGP and TRIP funding. CIGP funds are awarded to projects that relieve congestion on the State Highway System and are consistent with established plans in the area. TRIP funds are awarded to local government projects that improve regionally significant transportation facilities. Collier County is planning to widen Santa Barbara Boulevard/Logan Boulevard from Painted Leaf Lane north to Pine Ridge Road. This will improve a 2.5 mile segment that will be expanded from a 4-lane facility to a 6-lane divided arterial roadway. There are currently varying segments of pedestrian and bicycle facilities that will be completed to create a pedestrian and bicycle network. This project is eligible for the call for both CIGP and TRIP funds. The project is located approximately 1 mile east of I-75 and in between Exit 105 - Golden Gate Parkway and Exit 107 – Pine Ridge Road. Within Collier County, there are only a few north-south roads that have regional connectivity to Lee County, including Logan Boulevard, Livingston Road, US41, and Vanderbilt Drive, which is a mostly 2-lane constrained coastal roadway. Due to its proximity to I-75 and its regional connectivity to Lee County, Logan Boulevard acts as a parallel reliever to State Highway System (SHS) facilities I-75. An improved roadway network is not only needed for commuting purposes, but also critical to improve access for emergency responders, including fire departments, medical services, and law enforcement. The additional capacity provided by the improvements will provide for a more efficient connection between many community resources, including existing neighborhoods, churches, a hospital, and commercial businesses. Further, the project will provide for the efficient movement of people, goods, and services, as well as improve the multimodal connections inside the County’s urbanized area. This facility will improve travel reliability by decreasing travel times, reducing vehicle miles traveled, reducing congestion, and reducing emissions from idling vehicles. There will also be a reduced need for road maintenance, as reduced vehicle miles traveled on the roads means less maintenance, operations, and improvement costs to the parallel facilities. The project is listed in the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Needs Plan. The design is currently in the County’s 5-Year Work Program FY2025-2029. The 5-Year Work Program is tied to the County’s Capital Improvement Element (CIE), which will be amended or updated as necessary, should this project be awarded CIGP or TRIP funds. The project will meet all applicable federal, state and local requirements, including Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Approval of this item will authorize the Department Head of the Transportation Management Services Department (or designee) to sign and electronically submit all required documents. This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective transportation system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitors. FISCAL IMPACT: The projected design phase costs are estimated at $6,200,000. The project is currently in the County’s FY2025/2029 5-Year Capital Work Program. The total grant amount requested is up to $3,100,000 which is the maximum award amount. The $3,100,000 grant request equates to 50% of the project design phase costs. If awarded, Collier County would provide a local match of 50% of the total project costs from the following sources: impact fees, gas taxes and/or general fund revenues. Budget amendments will be presented to the Board for approval Page 1702 of 5415 3/25/2025 Item # 16.B.2 ID# 2025-551 upon receiving the grant award. GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This project is consistent with the County’s Growth Management Plan (GMP) and the MPO’s Long Range Transportation Plan. In addition, the application supports the Goals, Objectives, and Policies outlined in the Transportation Element, Intermodal and Multi-Modal Transportation Sub-Section of the GMP. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed by the County Attorney, raises no legal issues and requires majority vote for approval. -JAK RECOMMENDATIONS: To authorize the electronic submission of the County Incentive Grant Program (CIGP) and Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Applications.

Horseshoe Drive Naples, FL 34104 239-252-8192 2. Complete description of the project, including a location map Collier County will expand Santa Barbara Boulevard/ Logan Boulevard (Santa Barbara/Logan) from Painted Leaf Lane to Pine Ridge Road from a 4-lane to a 6-lane facility. This project will improve two and a half miles of Santa Barbara/Logan as shown in Figures 1 and 2 below. The project also completes the pedestrian and bicycle network which currently consists of a continuous sidewalk on the west side of the road and an intermittant sidewalk with gaps on the east side of the road. This project will also assist with regional safety and evacuation as it is identified as a regional evacuation route by the Southwest Florida Regional Planning Council.

Detailed description of how the project would reduce congestion on the state highway system: In January 2020, Lee and Collier Counties completed the Logan Blvd. Extension project which created an additional north-south connection between the two counties and the first connection east of I-75. Today, Logan Blvd. functions as an established alternative parallel corridor to I- 75 and alleviates some of the congestion through the I-75 corridor between Lee and Collier Counties. Santa Barbara/Logan is currently a major north-south collector within Collier County. Santa Barbara / Logan is approximately 1 mile east of I-75 and therefore serves as a parallel regional reliever to the SIS facility. This segment of Santa Barbara/Logan is parallel to I-75 between Exit 107 - Pine Ridge Road and Exit 105 – Golden Gate Parkway and directly connects to the Golden Gate City area and the Estates. Creating an improved parallel facility may incentivize commuters to remain on Santa Barbara/Logan as they commute to Lee County from Golden Gate City instead of using it for only a portion of their commute to Lee County via I-75. This facility is also a vital part of the entire corridor which is used for longer trips of intra and inter- county travel. Logan Blvd. is an integral part of the Collier County transportation network and serves as one of the few connections to Lee County which creates a regional transportation system. According to the Collier MPO’s Origin and Destination Report, dated December 9, 2022, evaluating high employment locations from the destination perspective provides insight into the number of people working in Collier County and living in another county. The study also found that more than 90,000 trips a day start in Collier County and end in Lee County indicating a strong travel connection between the two counties. As a vital north-south facility parallel to I-75, many of these commuter trips can use Santa Barbar/Logan instead of I-75. The report also detailed trip characteristics and interactions for various subareas within Collier County which have significant trip interactions with Lee County. According to the report, the sub areas of Golden Gate accounts for 106,000 daily trips. In addition, 136,000 daily trips originate from the Urban Estates. The Report concluded that these areas are significant contributors to the overall travel patterns within the region. Regional connections are essential for developing transportation strategies to address congestion and improve mobility across the Southwest Florida Region. This project will improve the current Level of Service (LOS) on Santa Barbara/Logan as well as add capacity and relieve congestion on I-75. It will also enhance emergency response, evacuation routes, and access. The project will also enhance the system of local roads and streets. The proposed project will improve the multimodal connection inside the County’s urbanized area. The corridor will relieve traffic congestion on the State Highway System (SHS) and provide for the increased traffic flow and efficient movement of people, goods, and services. The additional capacity will provide for a more efficient connection between many local and regional assets including existing neighborhoods, a library, churches, a nearby hospital, and commercial businesses. While not on the SHS, the segments of Santa Barbara/Logan are classified as Urban Major Collectors on the Federal Functional Classification map approved by FHWA on February 5, Page 1706 of 5415 Page 4 of 8 2025, and listed on the FDOT Federal Aid Mileage Report dated September 25, 2024. The referenced maps are included in the supplemental documentation attached. This facility will improve travel reliability by decreasing travel times, reducing vehicle miles traveled, reducing congestion, and reducing emissions from idling vehicles. An improved roadway network is not only needed for commuting purposes, but also critical to improve access for emergency responders including fire departments, medical services, and law enforcement. Further, the proposed improvements would relieve traffic congestion on I-75, as well as improve the multimodal connections inside the County’s urbanized area. There will also be a reduced need for road maintenance, as reduced vehicle miles traveled on the roads means less maintenance, operations, and improvement costs to the parallel facilities. Without State assistance, the County will be required to wait until enough local funding is collected to fully fund the project, further delaying traffic congestion relief to I-75. This project will provide safety benefits to all modes of transportation by creating bike lanes and sidewalks and reducing traffic congestion. The project also completes the pedestrian and bicycle network as the project area currently has a continuous sidewalk of varying widths (from five to six feet) on the west side of the project area and a five-foot sidewalk on the east side from 17th Ave. SW north to Pine Ridge Road. The provision of a consistent network of pedestrian and bicycle facilities will create better alternatives to cars and encourage a mode shift. Reducing the number of cars on the road not only lowers road maintenance, but it also constructs a safer intermodal transportation system. The addition of more modal opportunities within the existing right-of-way (where possible) minimizes the network lifecycle costs and contributes to improved regional development, improved air quality and positive environmental and sustainable contributions for the future. The project will also help reduce crashes resulting in serious injuries and fatalities and thereby improving overall traffic operations. Collier County crash data includes 1,302 crashes in the project area between February 28, 2020, and October 24, 2024. Five of the crashes resulted in fatalities, including three pedestrians. Traffic incidents, crashes and fatalities take time for incidence response teams to investigate and resolve. The improvements and the pedestrian and bicycle facilities within the project will help reduce the number of transportation-related serious injuries and fatalities within Collier County and help achieve FDOT’s Target Zero efforts. Collier Area Transit (CAT) has 4 routes and 11 transit stops within this 2 ½ mile area. Nine of the transit stops are shared, serving Golden Gate Route 15, Golden Gate City Route 16, Pine Ridge Route 20, and Golden Gate Pkwy – Goodlette Rd. as shown in Figures 3, 4, 5, and 6, below.

(Add additional pages if needed): Santa Barbara Boulevard is a north south major collector roadway from Rattlesnake Hammock Road (CR864) at the south to Green Boulevard at the north. Santa Barbara Boulevard changes name to Logan Boulevard from Green Boulevard to Bonita Beach Road (a Lee County Road) at the north. In January 2020, Logan Blvd. opened as the newest north/south connectors to Lee County and is the only connection of the two counties east of I-75. Logan Boulevard Extension was designed to take traffic and congestion off of I-75 and relieve other north/south facilities such as US41, Old US41, and Livingston Road. Santa Barbara Blvd. and Logan Blvd. are currently classified as Urban Major Collector Roadways which distribute trips from arterials to ultimate destinations. Santa Barbara/Logan is designed to carry trips entering and leaving urban areas, and it provides continuity for rural principal arterials that intercept urban boundaries. The roadway is approximately 1 mile east of I-75 and therefore created a parallel facility which carries regional traffic and creates an alternative to using I-75. Santa Barbara/Logan intersects residential areas with some commercial at the major intersections. Santa Barbara/Logan will be expanded from a 4-lane to a 6-lane facility. The project also completes gaps in the pedestrian and bicycle network which was designated as a need in the MPO’s 2019 Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan. According to the Collier MPO’s Origin and Destination Report, dated December 9, 2022, evaluating high employment locations from the destination perspective provides insight into the number of people working in Collier County and living in another county. The study found that more than 90,000 trips a day start in Collier County and end in Lee County indicating a strong travel connection between the two counties. The report also detailed trip characteristics and interactions for various subareas within Collier County which have significant trip interactions with Lee County. According to the report, the sub areas of Golden Gate accounts for 106,000 daily trips. In addition, 136,000 daily trips originate from the Urban Estates. These areas are significant contributors to the overall travel patterns within the region. Regional connections are essential for developing transportation strategies to address congestion and improve mobility across the Southwest Florida Region. This project will improve the current Level of Service (LOS) on Santa Barbara/Logan as well as add capacity and relieve congestion on I-75. It will also enhance emergency response, evacuation routes, and access. The project will also enhance the system of local roads and streets. The proposed project will improve the multimodal connection inside the County’s urbanized area. The corridor will relieve traffic congestion on the State Highway System (SHS) and provide for the increased traffic flow and efficient movement of people, goods, and services. The additional capacity will provide for a more efficient connection between many local and regional assets including existing neighborhoods, a library, churches, a nearby hospital, and commercial businesses. While not on the SHS, the segments of Santa Barbara / Logan are classified as Urban Major Collectors on the Federal Functional Classification map approved by FHWA on February 5, 2025, and listed on the FDOT Federal Aid Mileage Report dated September 25, 2024. The referenced maps are included in the supplemental documentation attached. This facility will improve travel reliability by decreasing travel times, reducing vehicle Page 1714 of 5415 4 miles traveled, reducing congestion, and reducing emissions from idling vehicles.

Does the project support facilities that serve national, statewide or regional functions and function as an integrated transportation system? Yes ☒ No ☐ How? Yes, the project will improve two and a half miles of Santa Barbara / Logan Blvd. and will improve the north south transportation choice for travel within the region and enhance the system of local roads and streets. The project is approximately 1 mile east of I-75 and the additional infrastructure improvement will add capacity, mobility options, and improve operations along the corridor which will then alleviate congestion and delay on major state and reginonal roads. Traffic along Santa Barbara / Logan Blvd. is expected to continue to grow and this project provides a parallel route to I-75 for intra-county travel. 2. Is the project identified in the capital improvements element of a comprehensive plan that has been determined to be in compliance with part II of chapter 163, after July 1, 2005, or to implement a long-term concurrency management system adopted by a local government; further the project shall be in compliance with local government comprehensive plan policies relative to corridor management? Page 1738 of 5415 2 Yes ☒ No ☐ (Attach (CIE) Page) 3. Is the project consistent with the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS)? Yes ☒ No ☐ How? Yes. The proposed lane expansion will increase capacity in this parallel corridor to I-75. Santa Barbara / Logan Blvd. provides connectivity between interstate interchnages (exit 105 – Golden Gate Parkway and exit 107 – Pine Ridge Road) and principal and minor arterials within Lee and Collier Counties. The expansion will add transportation route choices for people, goods, and freight. 4. Is there a commitment of local, regional or private matching funds? Yes ☒ No ☐ Prioritization Considerations 1. Is the project in compliance with local corridor management policies? Yes ☒ No ☐ Describe Yes, the capacity improvements adhere to the Collier County Access Management Policy #13-257, which follows FDOT access management criteria. 2. Describe how this project implementation will manage growth. The proposed project will improve the multimodal connection inside the County’s urbanized area. The corridor will relieve traffic congestion on the State Highway System (SHS) (US41 and I-75) and provide for the efficient movement of people, goods and services. The additional capacity will provide for a more efficient connection between many community assets including existing neighborhoods, schools, and commercial businesses. 3. Describe how the project will improve regional mobility within the Regional Transportation Area. The project will improve choices for travel within the region. Traffic on I-75 is expected to continue to grow. This improvement will add capacity, mobility options and improve operations on a parallel facility to I-75 between the exits at 105 - Golden Gate Parkway and 107 – Pine Ridge Road, which directly effects the operations of I-75. Improving efficiency and effectiveness of existing paralled facilitied will enhance mobility for the region. In addition, Logan Blvd. continues north to Lee County and can be used as a parallel facility for intra-county travel. The Collier MPO participates in Joint meetings with its regional partner – Lee County MPO. The Lee County and Collier MPO jointly adopted a Regional Transportation Network, which is included in the supplemental documentation. Please also reference the Collier-Lee Regional Roadway Network Map, Adopted by each MPO in May 2017 and the Joint TRIP Priority List. Page 1739 of 5415 3 4. Describe why priority should be given to the project based on the following: • Provides connectivity to the SIS, • Supports economic development and goods movement in rural areas of critical economic concern, • Are subject to local ordinances that establish corridor management techniques, • Improve connectivity between military installations and the Strategic Highway Network (STRAHNET) or the Strategic Rail Corridor Network (STRACNET). The project will provide a better connectivity to I-75 and US41. This will also provide economic development and goods movement between Lee and Collier counties and the Southwest Florida region. The corridor falls under the Collier County Access Management Policy #13-257. The County Policy closely follows FDOT’s access management criteria. There are no STRAHNET routes or military installations within Collier County. This project does not negatively impact or provide benefit directly to the STRAHNET or STRACNET. 5. How TRIP funding will accelerate the project’s implementation? The design and advanced construction of this project is in the County’s budget for the next 5 years. TRIP funds received would provide the County with the opportunity to expedite construction of this vital capacity improvement project. 6. Will the local government with jurisdiction adopt the FDOT level-of-service standard? Yes ☒ No ☐ Page 1740 of 5415 4 Program Guidance for Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) Background Pursuant to Section 339.2819, F.S., the 2005 Legislature created within the Department a Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) for the purpose of providing funds to improve regionally significant transportation facilities in regional transportation areas created pursuant to s. 339.155(5). Regionally significant transportation facilities include: • Regional transportation corridors such as highway, waterway, rail, and regional transit corridors that serve major regional commercial, industrial, or medical facilities; • Regional transportation hubs such as passenger terminals (examples include commuter rail, light rail, intercity transit and intermodal transfer centers), commercial service and major reliever airports, deepwater and special generator seaports, and major regional freight terminals and distribution centers. • All facilities on the SIS and Emerging SIS are regionally significant. Other regionally significant facilities serve as an integral part of an interconnected regional network. The purpose of the TRIP is to provide an incentive for regional planning; to leverage investments in regionally significant transportation facilities (roads and public transportation); and link investments to growth management objectives. The intent for the use of these funds is to generate additional capacity through growth in the transportation program. All proposed projects will be evaluated in light of this policy. The department shall allocate funding available for TRIP by statutory formula to the districts. (Equal parts of population and motor fuel tax collections). Local/Regional Funding Sources for TRIP Match The percentage of state matching funds provided from the TRIP shall be matched on a dollar for dollar basis by eligible funds or eligible in-kind sources as described below. TRIP funds may be used to fund up to 50 percent of the non-federal share of the eligible project cost for a public transportation facility project. • Projects on the State Highway System: The District/MPO may use Federal funds attributable to urbanized areas over 200,000 population (XU funds) or Local funds for the required match. • Projects off the State Highway System but on the Federal System: The District/MPO may use Federal XU funds or Local funds for the required TRIP match. If XU funds are used to match projects off the State Highway System, the 25% match required for XU must be provided by local funds. (e.g. $100 XU = $75 pure federal and $25 local) Page 1741 of 5415 5 • Projects off the State Highway System and Federal System: Local funds must be used for the required match. • SIB Loans: Funds loaned from the State Infrastructure Bank may be used to fund up to 25% of the required match for TRIP funds. Future repayments must be made from Federal XU or Local funds. • Public Transportation Projects: The match for TRIP must come from a local funds. XU funds cannot be used as the local match. TRIP is intended for capital expenses, not operational. TRIP funds cannot be used to purchase replacement buses, but they can be used to add capacity and service to a regionally significant route. • Federal earmarks may not be used as a match. In-Kind Match for TRIP In-kind services are goods, commodities, or services received in lieu of cash payments. (a) Goods and commodities should be valued based on their current market value in accordance with generally accepted accounting standards as determined by the Office of the Comptroller. The value for land donated should be determined in accordance with guidelines established by the Office of Right of Way. (b) The excess of an in kind match valued in excess of the required match will not generally be applied towards another project. On a case by case basis, an exception may be made for project segments in a regional corridor that are part of an implementation plan for that corridor. (c) In accepting in-kind matches for TRIP funds, the districts need to exercise caution in distinguishing between the “funding” requirements and the “cash” requirements. For example, there is a $10 million construction project for which a local government is seeking TRIP funds. Normally the match split would be $5 million TRIP and $5 million local. If a local government offers $4 million in right of way and $1 million in cash, technically they have met the local match requirement. However, there is still a $4 million cash requirement that must be met through some source of funding in order to pay the $10 million total. Districts will have to determine the source(s) for the remaining $4 million cash requirement, taking into consideration such issues as whether the project is on or off the Federal and/or State Highway System. Right of Way Contributions and Acquisition Procedures (a) Only those properties necessary for the qualified project itself are eligible for local government matching contribution credit. Rights of way for prior projects are not eligible. Page 1742 of 5415 6 (b) Projects with Federal funds: Rights of way must be/have been acquired in accordance with the federal Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition Policy Act (Uniform Act). 42 U.S.C. 4601, et sec., 49 CFR Part 24 and 23 CFR Part 710 (c) Projects without Federal Funds and on the State Highway System: Rights of way must be/have been acquired in accordance with the laws and rules applicable to Florida DOT. This includes providing relocation assistance to displaced persons in accordance with Rule Chapter 14-66, Florida Administrative Code. (d) Projects without Federal Funds and off the State Highway System: Rights of way acquired by the local government may be accepted for contribution credit regardless of the acquisition method or procedures used. However, if the acquisition procedures do not comply with the Uniform Act, this will preclude the use of Federal funds in the future. Other Match Issues (a) Private funds may be part of local matching funds required for a TRIP project. (b) Rural Areas of Economic Concern may be eligible for a waiver of or reduction in the required match for TRIP funds (see section 3.5 of the Work Program Instructions for guidance on the Rural Economic Development Initiative). Only that portion of the project that falls within the qualified Rural Area is eligible for the waiver.

Project and scope development are essential in the process of accurately programming projects with our partner agencies, therefore by way of this letter, it is requested your agency begin the annual process of identifying projects for submission. The Department requests that the following be submitted by the deadlines noted below. A preliminary list of priority projects March 31, 2025 Final approved list of priority projects June 30, 2025 Please submit Congestion Management (CMS) and Transportation Regional Incentive Program (TRIP) applications to your District 1 liaison no later than March 31, 2025. As a reminder, only Transportation Alternative (TA) applications are required to be submitted through GAP. These applications are due by March 31, 2025. District staff will review the information provided for completeness and funding eligibility. Once all information and data has been received, staff will coordinate further evaluation for constructability. A considerable amount of coordination is essential to developing an Page 1744 of 5415 Chairman McDaniel Page 2 accurate scope and cost estimate for each project and staff will closely communicate with MPO/TPO staff, as well as local government contacts, throughout the process. Chapter 339.175, Florida Statutes require MPO/TPOs to develop and submit an annual list of priority projects based upon project selection criteria which considers the Strategic Intermodal System (SIS), its connectors, other regionally significant facilities, and the following: 1. An approved MPO/TPO Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) 2. The Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Plan 3. Transportation management system procedures 4. MPO/TPO public involvement process Generally, priorities will be considered for programming in Fiscal Year 2030/2031 unless an opportunity arises to fund a project or project phase earlier. A final adopted/approved list of priority projects must be submitted to FDOT by June 30, 2025, at which time further consideration for programming and funding will be evaluated as the Draft Tentative Five-Year Work Program is developed over the summer/fall time frame. For modal programs, FDOT staff will contact transit, aviation, and port managers directly to request submissions for new projects. While MPO/TPOs are not required to prioritize modal program projects, it is important for modal agencies to share their priorities and continue to coordinate with their MPO/TPO.
