Missoula’s LRTP Process Envision Missoula Report Cost and Revenue Analysis Missoula Growth Workshop Public Survey Final Public Review of Plan (Open House) Modeling Ranking Criteria Base Case Scenario Modeling Fiscally Constrained 2035 Planning Scenario Envision Missoula Summit 4 Project Lists Draft Plan Document Final Plan Document Architecture Scenario 2035 Planning Scenario LRTP Project Report Modeling Modeling Vision Scenario Envision Missoula Workshops Planning Summit Report
Public Involvement • Visioning workshops November 13, 14, 15 • Planning Summit February 13, 14 • Explored the land use/transportation relationship
Public Survey • Conducted by University of Montana • Shows key priorities of public • What improvements they found most important
Roadway Expansion Bicycle/Pedestrian Projects Transit Operating and Capital Investments Enhancements for other Modes Operations Maintenance Intersection Improvements ITS Potential Transportation Projects
Why Are We Here? • We are here to define needs for the LRTP in light of what we have learned up to this point. At this point needs may be FUNDED or UNFUNDED. Funding and prioritization will come later in the process What project are defined as “Needs”
Project Categories • Current Needs (today’s deficiencies) • Accruing Needs (things we will need by 2035) • Illustrative Needs (things we will need after 2035) • “Parking Lot” (things we probably won’t need, given the public visioning process and land use/development directions)
Where Do LRTP Projects Come From? • Have are derived from multiple sources: • Existing project lists from Public Agencies • Envision Missoula • Needs Created by Future Development • Safety Consultations • Other ideas
Project Source -- Safety Consultations • Friday April 4 • Missoula County Engineering • Higgins-Hill-Beckwith • Reserve/Mullan Safety & Congestion • Reserve St Corridor Safety & Congestion • Desmet Interchange Safety Improvement • Palmer St Signal • Safety Improvement SW Missoula
Project Source -- Safety Consultations • Missoula County Education/Behavioral • SKSC Education Programs (DUI & seatbelt focus) • TV & Radio PSAs (designated drivers & buckle up) • Responsible Alcohol Training (servers) • Child Passenger Safety (training & inspection) • Bait & Belt Campaign (seatbelt rewards) • Home Free Missoula (cab rides home) • Your Choice 2007 (DUI re-inactment)
Project Source -- Safety Data • MT high crash locations include: • US 93 north & south of Missoula • I-90 east and west of Missoula • US 12 from US 93 to Lolo Pass • Ped crashes inside city steady to decreasing, outside city trending up • Bike crashes inside city steady but high, outside city steady • Motorcycle crashes inside and outside city slowly increasing in context of rapid increases statewide
Needs will be costed against available revenue to define the “funding gap” Needed projects will be prioritized for funding using criteria from the public survey & public involvement Those with the highest score will be recommended for funding Recommended “service package” will be reviewed for key environmental issues Recommended service package will be modeled with respect to travel demand and air quality Next Steps
