Topics • Introduction • Project Prioritization • Transit • Highways • Non-Motorized Facilities • Financial Resources • Draft Cost Feasible Plan
Introduction • The Draft Cost Feasible Plan is a financially constrained version of the 2035 Needs Plan based on available revenue (federal, state & local) through the year 2035. • The Draft Cost Feasible Plan contains the most important projects (priorities) indentified in the Needs Plan. • These projects are the source for the TPO’s future priority projects.
Introduction • Staff is requesting the Board to review and approve the 2035 Draft Cost Feasible Plan. • Public Review and Comment Period • August 12th through December 9th. • 2035 MVP Public Hearing and Final Adoption is scheduled for December 9th.
Eight Scoring Criteria: • Previous Plans (2060 Plan, PTA Expansion) • Regional Connectivity and Accessibility (Transit Centers/Park and Ride Lots) • Transit Potential • Urban Form and Planned Growth • Public Input Transit Evaluation Criteria & Scoring
Additional Considerations • PTA Plan represents first five years of cost affordable transit improvements • Subsequent phasing will be based on project ranking with the following considerations emphasized: • Anticipated route productivity (ridership) • Available projected revenues • Public input • Timing of growth – implement improvements in growth areas concurrent with anticipated development
State Intermodal System (SIS) Cost-Feasible Projects in Polk County Source: SIS Long Range Capacity Plan (Approved 2009)
Highway Project Prioritization – Non-SIS Roads • Based on Approved 2035 Goals & Objectives • Multi-Modal System Development • Environmental Sustainability • Regional Support • Freight & Goods Movement • Efficiency & Interconnectivity • Safety & Security • Public Input
Non-SIS Road Project Prioritization (cont’d) • Candidate projects evaluated by whether they would: • Complete or fill gap(s) in system • Connect directly to desired destinations or facilities • Lie within specific designated areas • Address problems or enhance designated facilities • Satisfy need(s) expressed by public
Non-motorized Facilities • Top 100 Projects identified for: • Bicycle Improvements – typically done as part of road projects • Sidewalk Improvements – done as part of road projects or stand-alone enhancements • Multi-Use Trail Projects • Typically done as funding & opportunities arise
Central Polk Parkway • PD& E study underway • $30 to $36M needed to fund Design in Cost Feasible Plan • Right-of-Way & Construction Unfunded • Seek Additional Funding through: • Next SIS Plan - TRIP • Federal Earmark(s) - Private Sources • Toll Revenues
DRAFT * Assumes operating needs phased in over life of plan
Funding Set-Aside for Other Projects • $80 M reserved for 2016 - 2035 • For Congestion Management Projects, to be determined: • Sidewalk Projects • Multi-Use Trail Projects • Intersection Improvements • Intelligent Transportation System Enhancements
Questions / Comments • Action Requested: Approve Draft Cost Feasible Plan for Public Distribution & Feedback • The Citizens and Technical Advisory Committees recommend that the TPO Board approve the 2035 MVP Draft Cost Feasible Plan.
Non-SIS Project Evaluation Criteria & Scoring Methodology (Cont’d.) • Environmental Screening GIS Tool Used to Evaluate Potential Degree of Effect on Natural & Man-Made Environment • Analyzed project impact within 500’ buffer • Scores based on # of features found or % of buffer area falling within: Wetland Areas Recreational Areas Wildlife & Habitat Areas Prime Farmlands Flood Hazard Areas Historic/Arch. Sites Special Areas (e.g. Green Swamp Contaminated Sites
Non-SIS Road Project Prioritization (cont’d) • Relative Weight (%) assigned to each category divided by maximum points for that category to arrive at weighted scores • Ranking based on weighted scores • Ranked project list divided into Tiers I, II and III
