3 Thursday, August 18, :30 am Meeting Minutes Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority Streets and Freeways Subcommittee Mulholland Conference Room, 15 th floor Members and Alternates Present: Bahman Janka (Chair), Steve Novotny (M, Caltrans), Jimmy Shih (A, Caltrans), Inez Yeung, (A, County of Los Angeles), Brad Lindahl (A, South Bay Cities COG), Allen Thompson (No. County Trans Coalition), Charles Herbertson (A, Westside Cities), Elizabeth Shavelson (A, Las Virgenes/Malibu), Debbie O Leary (M, San Fernando Valley COG), Fulgene Asuncion (M, Metro), Arsen Mangasarian (M, City of Los Angeles), Dale Benson (M, Pedestrian Coordination), Stephanie Chin (M, SCAG). 1. Call to Order (Bahman Janka, Chair, San Gabriel Valley) The meeting was called to order at 9:39 A.M. 2. Approval of June 16, 2016 Minutes (Subcommittee) The minutes were approved with no abstentions. 3. Chair Report (Bahman Janka) No report was provided. 4. Metro Report (Fulgene Asuncion, Metro) Ms. Asuncion announced that Metro will be holding Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) overview workshops on Tuesday, September 6, 2016, from 10 A.M. to 12 P.M., and Wednesday, September 7, 2016, from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M., in the Mulholland Conference Room. Ms. Asuncion also stated that Nancy Marroquin will be transferring from the TIP group to the Long Range Transportation Planning department and will no longer be the main contact for TIP inquiries. Metro will inform the committee of the new contact person for TIP matters. Ms. Asuncion announced that the Metro ExpressLanes Round Two Net Toll Revenue Reinvestment Expenditure Plan will go to the Executive Management Committee for approval on August 18, The Plan is expected to go to the Metro Board for approval on August 25, Handouts of the June 30, 2016 California Transportation Committee (CTC) meeting summary were distributed in lieu of an oral report. 5. Caltrans Update (Steve Novotny, Caltrans)

4 Mr. Novotny stated that results of the Active Transportation Program (ATP) Cycle 3 will be announced in Fall The Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) deadline was Friday, August 12, HSIP results will also be announced in Fall 2016 and programmed into the Federal Transportation Improvement Program (FTIP) in December Applications selected for Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the Systemic Safety Analysis Report Program (SSARP), a subprogram of HSIP, were published on July 15, 2016 on the Local Programs website. Mr. Novotny reminded the Subcommittee that the end of the federal fiscal year is approaching. Any E-76 forms that have not been turned in should be submitted to the District 7 office by August 19, 2016, and to Caltrans Headquarters by August 26, Call Recertification/Deobligation/Extension (Fanny Pan, Metro) Ms. Pan stated that Metro staff went to the Planning and Programming Committee on August 17, 2016, for the annual recertification, deobligation, and extension process. The item was pending Board approval on August 25 th. Every year, Metro recertifies project funds for the upcoming fiscal year; deobligates projects that have come in under budget or have been canceled; and extends current projects. In August 2016 Staff recommended to the Metro Board to adopt the Revised Lapsing Policy. The Revised Policy will allow project for a one-time 20 months extension to the Call for Project grants. Instead of lapsing projects per programming year (currently, each programming year has a three-year lapsing date three-years), there will be one lapsing date three years from the final programming year. In addition, there will be incremental milestones that the project sponsors will have to meet throughout the life of a project. These milestone dates will be agreed upon when executing funding agreements. If the project sponsor does not meet the milestone dates, a Recovery Plan must be submitted to Metro detailing the steps the project sponsor will take to get the project on schedule. Metro staff is also recommending that the Board adopt a Project Readiness Criteria. When initiating a funding agreement, Metro will ask the project sponsor to make sure that the project is on the City s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) list. The project needs to have City Council approval of the project s staffing plan, schedule, and Local Match commitment. These three items will need to be included in the City Council s report before finally executing the funding agreement. This will allow projects to be managed on a cash flow basis. Funds will be released phase by phase, so the project sponsor will need to show that it has completed a phase before moving to the subsequent phases. Brad Lindahl (League of Cities - South Bay Cities COG) asked if the amendment will be forthcoming shortly for projects that have received extensions. Ms. Pan responded that, as soon as the Board approves these extensions, Metro staff will be sending notifications to the project sponsors. However, if the Board does approve the revised Lapsing Policy, Metro will need to change its boilerplate language in the funding agreement. Sponsors may contact Ms. Pan at panf@metro.net if they have not heard from the Metro project manager and wish to speed up the process.

5 Elizabeth Shavelson (League of Cities - Las Virgenes/Malibu) asked for a status update on Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) recommendations on project appeals. Ms. Pan responded that projects whose appeals were approved were asked to return to TAC in Some projects will require a mid-year report to Metro in December Ms. Pan concluded by stating that the Planning and Programming Committee approved these changes to the Call process. 7. Connected Corridors Interstate 210 Corridor (Allen Chen, Caltrans) Mr. Chen stated that the Interstate 210 Corridor program is a pilot program by Caltrans. Caltrans wants to take proactive measures to mitigate congestion in the region through a multimodal approach. The project in this corridor is the first step toward creating a regional program. Entities involved in the I-210 Corridor include the cities of Pasadena, Arcadia, Duarte, and Monrovia; the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works (DPW); and Caltrans. Caltrans functions as a road operator, while Metro and Foothill Transit operate transit in the area. In this Pilot project, Caltrans is pre-designating alternative routes in the case of an incident or freeway closure. In the past, Caltrans has simply notified drivers that a freeway is closed without providing information on alternative routes. The project focuses on major incidents on the freeway system, and its foundation is a data exchange between Caltrans and the involved cities traffic signal systems. Caltrans uses an Aimsun model to assess current conditions and, using alternative measures, to make projections of expected outcomes. The model can then allow Caltrans to make recommendations for detour routes. Mr. Chen announced that the project s stakeholders will hold a workshop the week of August 22, 2016, to discuss responsive plan generation and how the modeling works in the area. Connected Corridors is a statewide program. Caltrans is undertaking two Pilot Programs: the I-210 Corridor and I-80 in the San Francisco Bay Area. The I-210 Corridor pilot program area consists of the segment of I-210 between SR-134 on the west and I-605 on the east. The construction and response plan will stretch further east to Azusa as part of the model. The Caltrans model looks at multimodal operators in the area: freeways; arterials; light rail transit; commuter rail; express commuter buses; and parking facilities. Project stakeholders include Caltrans, Metro, LA County Department of Public Works (DPW), City of Pasadena, City of Arcadia, City of Monrovia, City of Duarte, Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG), San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments (COG), Foothill Transit, and UC Berkeley Partners for Advanced Transportation Technology (PATH). Mr. Chen stated that there were close to 500 incidents per month along the corridor in These were all unforeseen incidents with durations of more than two hours. In the event of an incident, Caltrans can reprogram its ramp meterings following a preselected detour route. Caltrans also coordinates with the cities on pre-planned traffic signal

6 schema in order to re-route traffic through city streets going back to the freeway. There will be dynamic messaging signs (detour signs) that can inform motorists how to get back to the freeway. This plan is expected to be automatic. The Aimsun model will run predictions and come up with an optimal route selection. Caltrans invested $20 million in State Highway Operation and Protection Program (SHOPP) funds for improvements to the freeway and ramp meter signals. Caltrans also received $6 million in Call for Projects grants for the project. With input from corridor cities and the county, Caltrans will manage traffic system signal improvement and detection improvement at intersections in order to meet detour needs. Currently, the project is in the high-level design phase. Caltrans and the corridor cities are defining their roles in the project and what it will take to operate the new traffic management system. According to Mr. Chen, the project is expected to launch in July 2018, when the freeway improvements and Call projects have been completed. Outreach is also taking place, with Caltrans holding workshops and providing newsletters on the project s progress. Referring to the aforementioned August 2016 workshop, Mr. Chen elaborated on responsive plan generation. Responsive plan generation is based on preselected routes that Caltrans and the corridor cities have agreed upon. Additionally, the Aimsun model uses real-time data to analyze the traffic system s performance. Using historical data and looking at changes in the current traffic flow, the model can come up with a predicted outcome. The data will be stored for future use, and the model can do a post-analysis and evaluate how effective Caltrans s response was. The information from the model can be passed to transit users as well as motorists. Giving people better information can encourage people to use transit and alternative routes to get to their destinations in the event of an ongoing incident (e.g. over a period of 24 hours). Caltrans is responsible for the central system of the project. UC Berkeley PATH is modeling the design of the system. Modeling has been done for the entire freeway segment and over 495 intersections. Caltrans will work with all the stakeholders to determine what conditions would require that Caltrans execute an active traffic response plan. Caltrans will record and store all the data so that Caltrans and other organizations can use this data in the future, including actions that Caltrans has taken during major events. Mr. Chen pointed out that for city events, such as the Rose Parade, Caltrans can use the model for planning purposes and to account for any unforeseen activities and incidents in the area. Data can be taken from Caltrans s freeway management system, cities, 511, and social media (e.g. Waze). All of this data can be used in conjunction with historical data for modeling and for generating a response plan. Once a response plan is generated, Caltrans will make recommendations to the cities on what to do. Cities will have the option to follow the response plan. Cities can see what is going on in the whole system without integrating their own traffic signal management systems into Caltrans s framing system. If the cities do wish to lock step with Caltrans s ramp metering system, they can choose to integrate their own systems with that of Caltrans. Mr. Chen stated that response plan generation must be agreed upon unanimously among all stakeholders, not by majority vote.

7 Mr. Chen provided a visual example of the Aimsun model. The model puts all freeways and all major arterials on cross-intersections. The model can be used for planning, real-time operation, and performance measurement (in terms of the actual outcome compared to the expected outcome). The model takes several elements into account for both freeways and intersections. Mr. Chen is hopeful that Caltrans can deploy this program to other heavily congested parts of Los Angeles. He described the project as active traffic management rather than just closing freeways and ramps. Caltrans and cities can pre-design some areas but change traffic signal patterns so drivers do not go through certain neighborhoods in the event of a major incident. It is ultimately up to the city to take actions and execute plans that fit its own needs. Mr. Janka stated that Pasadena and other San Gabriel Valley cities have been working with Caltrans on this project for about two years. Meetings with Caltrans and UC Berkeley PATH have taken place every four to six weeks. Mr. Chen stated that other cities in the county will not have to go through this test period like the San Gabriel Valley cities are now. The design and outreach process will be fine-tuned, and there will not be a high learning curve for future potential Connected Corridors deployments. 8. LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Feasibility Study (Julia Salinas, Metro) Ms. Salinas announced that the Active Transportation team is taking the results of the LA River Bike Path Gap Closure Feasibility Study to the Metro Board meeting in September The LA River Bike Path Gap Closure will close a gap between two long sections of the current bike path. The first segment runs from Burbank to Elysian Valley, and the second segment runs over 20 miles from Long Beach to the Vernon/Maywood area. There is an eight-mile gap between these two segments. Ms. Salinas stated that the gap closure project is integral to creating a backbone for an integrated, complete bike path for the whole county. Without this piece of the path, there cannot be a network effect of having bike access everywhere. Part of the northern segment of the current bike path, where the river has a soft bottom and where there is still some natural landscaping, will also be subject to the river revitalization efforts undertaken by the City of Los Angeles. The path simply stops and leaves bicyclists with nowhere to go. The end of the southern segment, an industrial area in Vernon and Maywood, also abruptly leaves riders with no infrastructure. Ms. Salinas addressed a common question regarding an on-street alternative to building the path along the river. Currently, there is a very circuitous alternative route, one that the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition navigates every year. This route is not a nice experience, since riders are battling for road space with trucks and freight in a primarily industrial area. The east side of the river has some communities, but the area is hilly and has narrow streets. There is no equivalent on-street alternative route. In order to provide a high-quality biking experience in the area, Metro needs to look at the river itself. Within the project area, the Study looked at a three-mile buffer around the corridor. In the area, currently 26% of the population uses modes of transportation other than a car as a

8 primary mode of transportation. This community is different from the county overall, where only 11% of the population does not use a car as a primary mode of transportation. Even though the project area has over a quarter of people getting around without a car, there is very little bicycle, pedestrian, and transit infrastructure for the community. Compared to the rest of the county, the area has a high poverty rate and a low median income of less than $32,000 (compared to the county median of $55,000). Ms. Salinas stated that this project is a high priority due to the fact that this is a disadvantaged community that is underserved by infrastructure. Ms. Salinas provided some examples of similar bike path projects in other cities. The first example she discussed was the Julian Walsh Greenway in Phoenix, Arizona. Parts of the path go along washes, and most of the streams in the area are, as in Los Angeles, dry for most of the year but turbulent when heavy rain comes. The Phoenix project has people walking and biking sharing the path, which is the vision for the LA path as well. The second example Ms. Salinas mentioned was in Philadelphia along the Schuylkill River. It is a successful, newer path with parts right next to the river and others as overcrossings. The LA River path would be similar in this respect of alternating between more and less room for the path along the river. The Philadelphia path is primarily a transportation facility, not a recreational one. The LA project would be different in this respect. Metro has finished the feasibility study which noted some difficult engineering challenges to overcome in the area; however, it is possible to build the bike path in the area from an engineering standpoint. The Study also looked at the benefit to the community of network connectivity and found that there is a strong need for more connectivity. Safety is also an important consideration and will continue to be part of the conversation. There will be different safety issues to look at, depending on the different types of treatments used along the path. Some proposals look to put the path at the bottom of the river channel, but this brings up issues with what to do with the path when it rains. There are also issues of personal safety when the path is separated from the street and all the activities on the street, as is the case with the Ballona Creek path. The Study also looked at what Metro would need to do in terms of environmental clearance and permitting. In addition to preparing an Environmental Impact Report (EIR), Metro would need to go through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process and to coordinate with the Army Corps of Engineers. If changes need to be made in the river channel, Metro will need a hydromodification permit. Ownership along the river changes frequently along the bank and within the river. There is private ownership of the river bank and in the channel itself. However, according to Ms. Salinas, operations and management responsibilities of the river along the eight-mile project area all fall under the County of Los Angeles. The Study analyzed three different alternative alignments for the bike path: on the top of the bank, embedded in the side with a cut, or on the channel bottom. Though the channel bottom would be an option in Los Angeles, it would bring up some safety issues.

9 Ms. Salinas stated that putting a path through the area will take creative engineering. The study also looked at aerial structures (i.e. bridging) which will inevitably be part of the project. Aerial structures will be the way that the path can connect to overcrossings in the area, and this is mainly due to the constrained nature of the path. There is rail operating right next to the path, and the river is right alongside the corridor as well. Bridging would only be necessary in short segments for these connections. In parts of the path where there is not a lot of room at the top of bank, bridges could be used, albeit at a higher cost. There are other projects taking place along the LA River. The 6 th Street Bridge is currently being rebuilt. The City of Los Angeles is revitalizing the river at the northern end of the project area. Other bridge replacement and construction activities are also occurring. Metro would look to coordinate its efforts with these other projects. Ms. Salinas stated that no significant hydraulic impacts are expected to result from the project. Metro may need to prove this finding of insignificance to the Army Corps of Engineers, depending on the type of path chosen. Ms. Salinas mentioned that, even in the most impactful case of placing the path in the river, there was a very small change in the modeling for how the river would flow and function and in the river s flood control capacity. The biggest matter to consider in this case is the amount of permitting Metro needs to do and to what extent Metro needs to demonstrate to the Army Corps of Engineers that the project is not a problem. Ms. Salinas pointed out that some of the bridges along the path are historical. If Metro needs to modify or connect to any of these bridges, the project would need to keep in character with the existing bridges. The cost of the project is estimated to be between $200 million and $320 million. These figures include a 40% contingency as well as the costs of permitting and designing. The range is consistent with best practices for estimating costs in the area and with per-mile costs for Call projects along the river that involved similar engineering. The cost also includes access points to the path. Ms. Salinas stated that the path must connect to the community to have value and will not be valuable if it just goes through the area without access points. The study considered an access point every half-mile, which is consistent with most other paths in the area and globally. Throughout the environmental clearance process, Metro will need to engage with the community to see what trade-offs for the path are acceptable. Metro and the community will need to decide whether or not less visibility from the street would justify lower costs for the path. Hydraulic performance also needs to be considered. Ms. Salinas repeated that the result of the Study will be shared with the Metro Board in September The Active Transportation team is hopeful that the project will be granted to go forward to the Project Approval/Environmental Document (PA/ED) phase. Metro will then begin procuring a consultant anticipated to come on board in Summer 2017 in order to take the project through the design requirements for CEQA, NEPA, and the Army Corps of Engineers. The PA/ED phase would also include the Alternatives Analysis for the project.

10 Metro s contact with the Army Corps of Engineers has been limited, but Metro has kept the Army Corps informed throughout the process of the Feasibility Study. Metro is providing the Army Corps with an advance letter that informs the Corps that Metro is working on a project in the area. Metro anticipates that the Army Corps will not need to respond to the letter, but it is possible that the Corps could respond saying not to do the project due to hydrological impacts. Mr. Janka asked Ms. Salinas if the Study found if there could be a path that is literally along the river. Ms. Salinas responded that Metro can put a path all next to the river but that this is why the cost estimates are high. Not all parts of the potential path are clear of obstacles, utilities, or other transit services. The path could be at the top of bank the whole way through, but it would not always be a perfectly straight path. Cantilevering out over the river and building bridges to get over things would make construction more complicated and expensive. Mr. Janka then asked if Metro has an idea of what the current bike and pedestrian use is on the existing segments of the path, even though the build it and they will come factor could help the project. Ms. Salinas replied that there are some bicycle counts but reiterated that there is discontinuity along the path. A few hundred people per day utilize the southern segment of the path, but this depends where the counts are conducted. Much of the current use is recreational because the path does not connect to job centers. Ms. Salinas then pointed out that Vernon has 50,000 jobs and is working on a bicycle plan as a way to help blue-collar workers in the area. New bicycle infrastructure could greatly increase ridership on the path by connecting people to places of employment, though there are no estimates of how much this increase would be. 9. ATP Cycle 3 Update (Shelly Quan, Metro) Ms. Quan stated that applications for ATP Cycle 3 were due on June 15, The State received 456 applications this year, which is a decrease from 617 applications received from Cycle 2. The average funding request per project was higher for this Cycle than in previous cycles. There were 70 applications from Los Angeles County for Cycle 3, a decrease from 90 applications from Cycle 2. The funding request per project in Los Angeles County is about the same for this Cycle as in previous Cycles. The State is currently scoring the applications and will have recommendations by the end October The CTC will adopt the statewide program in December 2016 and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) program by March The MPO Program is administered by SCAG, and SCAG is selecting the infrastructure programs in the same way as in past cycles. A new feature of the program this year is a supplemental Call for Projects for planning and non-infrastructure projects. SCAG took its regional guidelines to the CTC for approval, and the CTC approved the guidelines in the middle of August. The anticipated release for the supplemental Call is September 2016, with applications due in November Recommendations will be made in December. Ms. Quan then mentioned that Mitch Weiss of the CTC stated that future ATP extension requests will be scrutinized closely. Metro has been working with representatives from the

11 ATP Technical Advisory Committee to discuss project delivery issues. To address these issues, Metro has drafted a survey to administer to jurisdictions in the County to determine where these jurisdictions are having issues in the application and project delivery processes. Charles Herbertson (League of Cities Westside Cities) asked if SCAG s supplemental Call is just for planning projects or if it is also for physical projects. Ms. Quan replied that the Call is just for planning projects, not for capital infrastructure. Mr. Janka asked if funding for the supplemental Call is separate from the regular ATP process. Ms. Quan answered that the funding for this program is coming from part of SCAG s MPO share of the ATP funds and will be combined with part of SCAG s existing Sustainability Planning Grants Program. Ms. Shavelson asked if SCAG is the primary administrator of the grants for the supplemental Call and if the program functions in the same way as the Sustainability Planning Grants Program does. Ms. Quan stated that, for projects selected in the supplemental Call, SCAG will administer the funds in the same way as it does for Sustainability Planning Grants. Funds for other infrastructure projects selected by SCAG will not be administered by SCAG. Ms. Shavelson followed up, asking if an agency would have to be the lead applicant for a supplemental Call project. Ms. Quan answered that eligible applicants are the same as for the ATP program. Arsen Mangasarian (City of Los Angeles) asked to make sure if the applications for the supplemental Call are coming in September. Ms. Quan replied that the applications do come out in September and are due in November. 10. State and Federal Legislative Update No report was provided. 11. New Business No report was provided. 12. Adjournment The meeting was adjourned at 10:47 A.M. The next meeting for the Streets and Freeways Subcommittee will be held on September 15 th at 9:30 a.m. on the 15 th floor, Mulholland Conference Room.

26 Wednesday, August 31, ADOPT the following Federal Transit Authority Title VI compliance findings: 1. Findings of Attachment B that the Metro bus system conforms to the adopted Passenger Loading Standards and results in no disparate impact on minorities. Conformance of the Metro Rail system cannot accurately be determined at this time due to the sampling methodology; and 2. Findings of Attachment C that the Metro bus system and rail system conform to the adopted Headway Standards and result in no disparate impact; and 3. Findings of Attachment D that neither of the Metro bus or rail systems meets the adopted On-Time Performance Standards. Only 43.5% of weekday bus lines meet the 80% on-time standard, with 42.4% on Saturday and 54.8% on Sunday line meeting this measure. Only on Sundays do bus lines designated as minority lines have compliance that is over 10% worse than the non-minority lines, thus creating a disparate impact. The low levels of attainment for these standards suggests that a comprehensive review of on-time performance standards and operating practices is necessary, and 4. Findings of Attachment E that Metro and its fixed route operating partners are in conformance with the adopted System Accessibility Standard; and 5. Findings of Attachment F that Metro bus and rail service passenger facilities are in conformance with the adopted Passenger Amenities Standards; and 6. Findings of Attachment G that the Metro bus system is in conformance with adopted Vehicle Assignment Standards. Conformity of the Metro rail system was reviewed in early May 2016 and was impacted by the initial delivery of new light rail vehicles and the recent start of operation of the Metro Gold Line Foothill Extension. Only 15 of 235 new vehicles had been accepted at that time with most, of necessity, assigned to the Metro Gold Line. Metro rail system conformance should be reviewed at a later time after new vehicle deliveries are substantially complete. Page 12 Printed on 8/31/2016
