5 FLORIDA-ALABAMA TPO TPO MEETING MINUTES 9/7/16 Page 2 A. CALL TO ORDER Vice Chairman Williamson called the meeting to order. B. APPROVAL OF AGENDA 1. Chairman Williamson called for approval of the agenda Commissioner Robertson moved to approve the agenda. Councilman Bare seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. C. PUBLIC FORUM D. CONSENT There were four speakers from the public. Alan Gray, from First City Development stated that he is asking the TPO to consider moving 17 th Avenue landing project to a higher priority than number 30. Mr. Gray stated that it would be better if it was done at the same time as the new bridge. It would not be good to have a bridge that works and a landing that does not. Mr. Gray further stated that his concerns are with safety and hurricane evacuation. It should take priority over the Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) plan projects and should be done immediately. This would be the right way to do it. Mr. Dana, representative from Vision Pensacola spoke of the public advisory committee that consists of rotary groups, city councils, FDOT staff, and citizens. Mr. Dana stated that they are concerned about other projects but the circumstances have changed. The traffic count expects to grow by 2040 and they are concerned with seeing collisions just about every other day. Ms. Williams, FDOT, stated that they are going to do a re-evaluation. Ms. Williams discussed the importance of sharing where the 17 th Avenue project is in the process. Mr. Justice, consultant to FDOT, spoke with a brief PowerPoint presentation on the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) study of SR30 (US 98) Gregory Street and Bayfront Parkway at 17 th Avenue. Mr. Justice discussed a proposal of the roundabout and stated that the purpose of this study was to improve safety conditions for vehicular and multi-modal traffic, improve traffic operations, and improve hurricane evacuation efficiency. 17 th Avenue will be realigned and will include a bicycle lane. Mr. Justice stated that they are confident in this alternative. 1. Approval of August 2016 meeting minutes Commissioner Robinson called for approval of the June 2016 minutes Commissioner Barry moved to approve the August 2016 TPO meeting minutes.

Consideration of Resolution FL-AL 16-29: Adopting the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-FY 2022 Project Priorities Mr. Kramer, WFRPC, presented with a PowerPoint presentation. Three public workshops were held from June 13 through June 15, TPO and Advisory Committee workshops were held on July 11 and August 15, Mr. Kramer further stated that comments received are included

6 FLORIDA-ALABAMA TPO TPO MEETING MINUTES 9/7/16 Page 3 in the agenda enclosure. The TIP includes locally funded projects. Mr. Kramer discussed ranking criteria. The completed projects were removed from the list and projects scheduled for construction in the first three years are moved to the committed list. The project priorities includes aviation projects provided by Pensacola International Airport and Peter Prince Field, port projects furnished by the Port of Pensacola, bridge replacement projects, and Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ) projects. The adopted priorities will be sent to Alabama and FDOT in October and then FDOT will present the FY Tentative Work Program in December. Mr. Kramer stated that the TCC voted to move the 17 th Avenue project to number 13 on the list after the US 98 project (number 12). The CAC moved to recommend the 17 th Avenue project be moved to number 1 with the caveat that there is outside funding for it. Councilman Wingate stated that he is in favor of moving it to number 1 on the list if the opportunity is there. Commissioner Robinson stated that the floor is open for more in-depth discussion on this item. Councilman Spencer stated that he shares Commissioner Robertson s concerns on what makes this an adequate priority and why it should be moved up and that he would like to hear from Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to explain better. Mr. Paulk stated that the project does not have to be at a certain level of funding and discussed that the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) do not have a set dollar amount that they are going after but do for the top three priorities which are considered shovel ready. With the project being at number 30, it would be hard for Secretary Barfield to take it to Tallahassee to lobby for funds. At number 13 it would compete for State dollars. The higher the priority the better chance for funding. If FDOT does not have a set amount for the 17 th Avenue project then they have to find it. Mr. Paulk noted that the TPO does have the authority to make priority changes. Commissioner Robertson asked what if the city or county looked at adding some Local Option Sales Tax (LOS) funds and what would that do to the project. Mr. Paulk responded that he does not know if the city or county could allocate those funds quickly enough to be officially put on the table. Councilman Bare asked why the project cost twice as much as the US 98 project. Mr. Paulk replied that it is just a needs plan assessment but they are currently looking at the cost estimate to be lower than that at about $20 million dollars. Councilman Bare asked if there is any way to tie that cost in with the bridge replacement fund. Mr. Paulk replied no because those funds are bridge replacement funds and have to go to a bridge project. Councilman Bare asked if moving the 17 th Avenue project will negatively affect other projects. Mr. Paulk stated no and that the 17 th Avenue project will not take away from other project funding. Councilman Messick asked if the 17 th Avenue project is moved to number 13, if number 13 would be moved to number 30 or if everything will shift down because he is worried about project number 14 being pushed back. Mr. Paulk stated that all priorities will shift down a number but funds will not be impacted. Commissioner Williamson stated that it should not be moved in front of other projects that have been waiting a long time and that he supports moving it to number 13, but not to number 1. Councilman Johnson stated that he thinks it should be included in the scope with the bridge project and that the landing coming off the bridge is just as important as the bridge project itself. He understands the importance of the landing, especially during a storm situation. Councilman Johnson stated that he is for moving it up. Commissioner Barry stated that he appreciates the effort to try to get funding as soon as possible and asked if the project is added to the scope with Skanska would it be in the lower range of the dollar amount. Mr. Paulk stated yes and that in the design/build phase it would be refined. Commissioner Barry stated that he can support moving the project after the US 98 project to number 13. Councilman Bare stated that the ranking seems artificial when looking at the funding. Councilman Bare stated that he agrees that the US 98 project should not be moved and recommends that the 17 th Avenue project be moved to number 13. Commissioner

7 FLORIDA-ALABAMA TPO TPO MEETING MINUTES 9/7/16 Page 4 Salter stated that he also agrees with moving the project to number 13. Councilman Spencer stated that he fully respects and appreciates the comments made, however, he feels that they need to exercise fluidity, and that he recommends the 17 th Avenue project be moved to number 1. It is a window of opportunity for Skanska to be awarded this project. Commissioner Lynchard stated that moving the project to number 13 would be a clear sign of working together versus moving it to number 1 where it will look like one side is more important than the other. Commissioner Lynchard further stated he would like assurance from FDOT that there will not be a negative impact on other projects. Mr. Paulk replied that there is a caveat that will be placed in the amendment that clarifies funding for other projects will not be jeopardized. Councilman Wu stated that it is crucial to start it as soon as possible not just for Pensacola but for everyone. Commissioner Barry motioned to have the 17 th Avenue project supplement the bridge contract if funding becomes available, and if not then move it to number 13 behind the US 98 project. Councilman Spencer moved to recommend the TPO authorize the TPO chairman sign Resolution FL-AL adopting the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-FY 2022 Project Priorities with the changes to move project number 30 (17 th Avenue Interchange) to project number 1 in the Non-Strategic Intermodal System (SIS) Project Priorities and the corresponding priorities will move down one each with the caveat that it will not impact existing priorities normal funding; and, if funding from cost savings from other projects in the state does not fund this project for construction by September 7, 2017, the 17 th Avenue Interchange project will move from number 1 priority to number 13 priority behind the US 98 from Bayshore Drive to Portside Drive project. Councilman Wingate seconded the motion. Mr. Paulk stated that the goal will be to locate funds quickly. Ms. Washnock stated that she would like to go over the advisory committee recommendations again and that the TCC recommends moving the 17 th Avenue project to number 13 and the CAC recommends moving it to number 1. Ms. Washnock further stated that Secretary Barfield stated he would also like to see the project moved up to receive funding.

63 Clean Cities Building Partnerships to Cut Petroleum Use in Transportation The U.S. Department of Energy s (DOE s) Clean Cities program advances the nation s economic, environmental, and energy security by supporting local actions to cut petroleum use in transportation. At the national level, the program develops and promotes publications, tools, and other unique resources. At the local level, nearly 100 coalitions leverage these resources to create networks of stakeholders. The coalitions support fleets by providing technical assistance for implementing alternative and renewable fuels, idle-reduction measures, fuel economy improvements, and emerging transportation technologies. Clean Cities was established in 1993 in response to the Energy Policy Act of 1992 and is housed within DOE s Vehicle Technologies Office. Since its inception, Clean Cities has saved more than 7.5 billion gallons of petroleum. In doing so, the program has been a catalyst for transportation projects that advance U.S. energy independence, transform local markets, support regional economic development, and reduce harmful vehicle emissions. Goal and Strategies Clean Cities is on track to meet its goal of saving 2.5 billion gallons of petroleum per year by To achieve this goal, Clean Cities employs three strategies: Replace petroleum with alternative and renewable fuels, including biodiesel, E85, electricity, hydrogen, natural gas, and propane Reduce petroleum consumption through technologies and strategies that improve fuel efficiency Eliminate petroleum use through idle reduction and other fuel-saving technologies and practices. VEHICLE Florida-Alabama TECHNOLOGIES TPO Agenda OFFICE Adams 12 School District in Colorado has successfully implemented a propane project adding 12 propane buses to their fleet. So far the buses have had low maintenance costs and above average reliability, and are a favorite among district school bus drivers. Photo by Dennis Schroeder, NREL Clean Cities at Work Clean Cities efforts support reduced dependence on petroleum at the local, state, and national levels. Clean Cities activities include: Building partnerships with local coalitions of public- and private-sector transportation stakeholders Developing unbiased and objective information about alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, and other strategies to cut petroleum use Advancing interactive, data-driven online tools to help stakeholders evaluate options and achieve goals Collecting and sharing best practices, data, and lessons learned to inform choices and build a strong national network Clean Cities Cumulative Petroleum Savings Billions of Gallons Providing technical assistance to help fleets deploy alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, and idle-reduction measures Working with industry partners and fleets to identify and address technology barriers Empowering local decision makers to successfully implement the best petroleum reduction strategy for their circumstance Seeding local alternative fuels markets through projects that deploy vehicles and fueling infrastructure.

Clean Cities coalitions are comprised of businesses, fuel providers, vehicle fleets, state and local government agencies, and community organizations. These stakeholders share information and resources, inform public policy, educate the public, and collaborate on transportation projects. Nationwide, nearly 15,000 stakeholders participate in Clean Cities coalitions, and through their collective efforts they are transforming local and regional transportation markets. Rochester East Tennessee Middle-West Tennessee Alabama Dallas/Ft. Worth Honolulu Vermont Western NC Raleigh/Durham Charlotte South Carolina Georgia Louisiana Houston/ Galveston Southeast Louisiana Tampa Central Florida Southeast Florida Each coalition is led by an on-the-ground Clean Cities coordinator, who tailors projects and activities to capitalize on the unique opportunities in their region. Stakeholders in Clean Cities coalitions gain access to a wide array of resources, including networking opportunities with fleets and industry partners, workshops, individualized assistance, information resources, funding opportunities, and outreach support. They may also receive public recognition for their efforts to cut petroleum use. To help meet program goals, each coalition has an annual goal to increase its total petroleum savings by 15% over the previous year. Clean Cities coalitions host events for stakeholders to share information, work with fleets to determine the best fuel/technology options, and collaborate on projects that cut petroleum use.

65 VEHICLE TECHNOLOGIES OFFICE January 2016 Page 3 Transforming Transportation Since 1993 Clean Cities strives to reduce U.S. dependence on petroleum. The program s successes include the following: Saved more than 7.5 billion gallons of petroleum Placed nearly 500,000 AFVs on the road Averted more than 6.8 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2014 alone Grew from six Clean Cities coalitions in 1993 to nearly 100 today, covering about 80% of the U.S. population Convened nearly 15,000 public and private stakeholders as members in local Clean Cities coalitions. Clean Cities Accomplishments Clean Cities has helped deploy hundreds of thousands of alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs) and fueling stations that serve a growing market. The program has also aided in the elimination of millions of hours of vehicle idling and helped accelerate the entry of new transportation technologies into the marketplace. Increasing Access to Alternative Fuels Over the years, Clean Cities has provided matching funds and leveraged resources to help communities lay the foundation for alternative fuels and vehicles. The results of those projects have enabled communities to achieve more widespread adoption of AFVs, alternative fuels, and petroleum reduction practices. DOE projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) seeded local alternative fuel markets by deploying large numbers of AFVs and establishing new fueling infrastructure across the country. The success of these projects has significantly increased the availability of alternative fuels and enabled a growing number of fleets to choose AFVs. With this increased market penetration, many fleets are now making additional investments or purchasing AFVs for the first time. Clean Cities projects have also helped establish natural gas corridors along heavily traveled routes in California, Utah, and New York; networks of propane fueling stations in many cities; and E85 fueling stations along several corridors such as the I-75 route from Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, to Miami, Florida. Partnering With Private Sector Leaders Clean Cities launched the National Clean Fleets Partnership to help private-sector leaders identify barriers and pursue solutions to cut petroleum use. Through the partnership, Clean Cities provides large private-sector fleets with resources, expertise, opportunities for peer-to-peer information exchange, and technical assistance as they evaluate and incorporate alternative fuels, advanced vehicles, and fuel-saving measures into their operations. The program has 27 partners that have deployed more than 26,000 alternative fuel and advanced technology vehicles. Supporting Community Readiness Clean Cities funding opportunities have helped communities address obstacles and plan for and develop strategies to support the adoption of AFVs. The Community Readiness and Planning for Plug-In Electric Vehicles and Charging Infrastructure awards and the Alternative Fuel Market Project awards resulted in 36 projects supported with $19.6 million from DOE. Depending on local needs, awardees focused on efforts like streamlining permitting processes, revising codes, training emergency personnel, educating the public, and developing incentives. Through these awards, local public-private partnership stakeholders collaborated on plans to deploy AFVs, enhance local infrastructure, improve fleets, and build community awareness to help reduce U.S. petroleum dependency and build a clean transportation future. To further support community readiness, Clean Cities also launched the Plug-In Electric Vehicle (PEV) Readiness Scorecard (afdc.energy.gov/pev-readiness). The scorecard helps communities assess their readiness for the arrival of PEVs and electric vehicle supply equipment.

The recent improvement on Detroit and the new intersection of Detroit/N. Palafox has made this traffic short cut to Nine Mile Rd more viable which has increased commuter traffic through the neighborhoods to the point of gridlock. As part of this task the CONSULTANT will develop a framework analysis of the corridor. A framework analysis is an analytical tool that provides a general overview of a project area and reviews how the project relates, connects and/or influences its contextual relationships. Task 5.0 Crash Data Analyses TPO STAFF shall obtain crash data for a five-year period. This data will be used to identify high crash locations as well as crashes involving bicyclist and pedestrians. The CONSULTANT shall use the crash data to complete an analysis of the crashes occurring along the corridor. Task 6.0 Existing and Future Traffic Conditions The purpose of this task is to provide a general evaluation of the existing and future LOS along the study corridor. The latest version of the FDOT LOS Tables or operation analysis software (i.e., Synchro and HCS) will be utilized to define existing and future operating conditions. Accomplishment of these objectives will occur through the activities described below. Existing Traffic The CONSULTANT shall prepare a spreadsheet tabulation showing location and specific values for: 1) the percent of daily traffic occurring in the peak hours, 2) the directional distribution of travel during the peak hours, and 3) the daily and peak hour truck percentages (where available). Traffic Adjustment Page 64 of 85

76 The CONSULTANT shall adjust the actual counts to represent annual average daily traffic volumes using weekly seasonal adjustment factors provided by Escambia County for FDOT. Existing Intersection and Roadway Segment Analyses The CONSULTANT shall determine the existing intersection and roadway segment AM and PM peak hour levels of service for the study corridor using the most recent version of Synchro and reporting the results in Highway Capacity Software (HCS) format. Future Intersection and Roadway Segment Analyses The CONSULTANT shall use the most recent version of Synchro to perform intersection and roadway operational analyses for the study area. The Synchro analyses results will be reported in the HCS format for this study. The future roadway segment analyses will be completed for the segments between or approaching the study area intersections as identified above. The analyses will consist of analyzing the impacts of alternative improvements and may include signal optimization, review of turn-lane lengths, turn-lane installation, and turn prohibitions and possible driveway closings. The analyses will consider: 1. Conflict points at turn-lanes 2. Continuous middle turn-lanes 3. Access spacing 4. Increased capacity by adding a continuous turn-lane The following analyses will be conducted for each intersection: 1. Existing PM No-Build PM Build PM Task 7.0 Develop Complete Street Concepts One of the goals of the FDOT is to implement a policy that promotes safety, quality of life, and economic development in Florida. This policy is implemented through a context-sensitive system of Complete Streets. While there is no singular design prescription for Complete Streets, generally, Complete Streets: 1. Are designed and operated to enable safe access for all users; 2. Provide safe movement for pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, and transit riders of all ages and abilities; 3. Make it easy for cyclist and pedestrians to cross the street, including at high-demand midblock locations; 4. Allow transit to run on time and make it safe for people to walk to and from transit stops. The CONSULTANT will develop various Complete Street concepts for the corridor. These concepts will Page 65 of 85

77 include any needed transportation improvements identified in the previous tasks. The newly-released FDOT Complete Streets Implementation Plan will be utilized as well as other nation-wide resources to guide the development of the Complete Streets concepts. Task 8.0 Deliverables (all reports will be in Adobe PDF) The CONSULTANT shall provide the following documents: 1. Monthly Progress Reports The CONSULTANT shall provide a monthly progress report to the TPO Staff. The report is required regardless of project status or payment request. 2. Pre-Draft CMP Report The CONSULTANT and the TPO STAFF shall prepare and submit an electronic copy of a Pre-Draft CMP Report for review and comment prior to preparing a Draft CMP Report for the TPO and advisory committees review and comment. 3. Draft CMP Report - The CONSULTANT and the TPO STAFF shall prepare and submit two (2) hard copies and eight (8) CDs of the draft report for Escambia County staff, FDOT and FHWA for review. The draft report will be posted to the TPO s website and made available to the TPO and advisory committees for review and comment. The comments from the TPO Staff, Escambia County Staff, FDOT, TPO and advisory committees will be incorporated into the final report as appropriate. Aerials that display recommendations will be presented in the report. 4. Final CMP Report The CONSULTANT shall incorporate comments from the state, federal and local governing boards and workshop presentations into the final CMP Report as appropriate. Ten (10) hard copies and twelve (12) CD s will be submitted to the TPO Staff for distribution as follows: Escambia County Two (2) color hard copies and two (2) CDs FDOT - Two (2) color hard copies and two (2) CDs FHWA - One (1) color hard copy and one (1) CDs TPO and Advisory Committees Will be provided a link where the report may be downloaded. TPO Staff -Five (5) color hard copies and five (5) CDs will be maintained by TPO staff. Task 9.0 Americans with Disabilities Act The CONSULTANT will adhere to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 when developing recommendations for this corridor. The ADA is a wide-ranging civil rights law that prohibits, under certain circumstances, discrimination based on disability. Task 10.0 Additional Services If through the course of the project any additional tasks are determined to be needed by the CONSULTANT, TPO, Escambia County or FDOT the cost must be determined and negotiated, and a change order must be processed by the TPO before the work is performed. If the CONSULTANT conducts the work first and requests payment afterwards the CONSULTANT risks not being paid for the work. Page 66 of 85

CONSENT There were three speakers from the public. Ms. April Williams, FDOT, introduced Mr. Shawn Justice, consultant to FDOT. Mr. Justice spoke with a brief PowerPoint presentation. Mr. Justice discussed the Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study of SR30 (US 98) Gregory Street and Bayfront Parkway at 17 th Avenue. The purpose of this study is to improve safety conditions for vehicular and multi-modal traffic, improve traffic operations, and improve hurricane evacuation efficiency. Mr. Justice displayed the proposed location of the roundabout in the PowerPoint. Mr. Justice further stated there will be pedestrian signals and crossings for pedestrian safety. Ms. Bennett asked about access on the west side. Mr. Justice stated that there will be access. Ms. Bennett asked if there will be traffic signals for high peak traffic times. Mr. Justice stated no and that the roundabout will be projected for high volume traffic and will reduce it. Ms. Bennett asked how people will get to Bayfront Parkway. Mr. Justice replied that there will be a fork off to exit to Bayfront. Ms. Bennett asked if Graffiti Bridge will be affected. Mr. Justice stated that Graffiti Bridge will not be touched. Ms. Mayall stated that 17 th Avenue floods a lot and asked how that will be handled. Mr. Justice stated that they will determine if it will be an issue. They held a meeting in March 2016 and will hold another meeting in March 2017 or sooner. Ms. Mayall asked if notices were sent to the local residents within 500 feet. Mr. Justice replied yes. Mr. Dana, representative from Vision Pensacola spoke of the public advisory committee that consists of rotary groups, city councils, FDOT staff, and citizens. Mr. Dana stated that the traffic count expects to grow by 2040 and they are concerned with seeing collisions just about every other day. Mr. Dana stated that the 17 th Avenue project should be moved to number 1 on the project priorities list. Ms. Bennett, CAC member, spoke of her safety concerns with Fairfield Drive and Pontiac Drive where there are plants blocking people s views. There is a hill on both sides and drivers can t see each other coming and going. Mr. Paulk, FDOT, replied that he is not familiar with that but he will coordinate and see. Ms. Bennett further stated that she is concerned with large buses and that they are a traffic obstruction. Ms. Bennett suggested buying Jitney buses because they are smaller and cause less pollution. Mr. Hunt stated to Ms. Bennett that she may need to attend the county board meetings because the buses are county owned. Mr. Hunt noted that there are better buses being used that run on Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). 1. Approval of August 2016 meeting minutes Chairman Hunt called for approval of the August 2016 minutes Ms. Mayall moved to approve the August 2016 CAC meeting minutes. Mr. Kilmer seconded the motion and it passed unanimously. Page 76 of 85

88 E. ACTION ITEMS 1. Consideration of Resolution FL-AL 16-29: Adopting the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-FY 2022 Project Priorities Ms. Bennett moved to discuss the consideration of Resolution FL-AL 16-29: Adopting the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-FY 2022 Project Priorities. Mr. Jeffries seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously. Mr. Kramer, WFRPC, presented with a PowerPoint presentation. Three public workshops were held from June 13 through June 15, TPO and advisory committee workshops were held on July 11 and August 15, Mr. Kramer further stated that comments received are included in the agenda enclosure. Edits to existing priorities are highlighted in blue. Page 9 includes Mr. Dana s comments. Mr. Kramer further stated that he will recommend adoption at the TPO meeting on September 7, Mr. Kramer stated that the TCC recommended moving the 17 th Avenue project (number 30) to number 13 behind the US 98 project (number 12) and that the caveat was part of the recommendation. The funding for other projects will not be affected. Ms. Bennett asked what happens when it is moved to number 13. Mr. Paulk stated that the others will move down the list but number 13 was chosen so that it falls just behind the US 98 widening project. Ms. Bennett stated that it would be better to put the bridge replacement project and 17 th Avenue project together to save money. Mr. Paulk stated that if it is moved up any higher it would be competing for funding and that the priorities should match the funding available. Ms. Bennett asked if moving the 17 th Avenue project to number 1 would jeopardize the current number 1 project (Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Plan Projects). Mr. DeVries stated that he is concerned about funding if it is moved to number 1. ITS has been number 1 for a long time. Mr. Kilmer stated that he is concerned if it is moved to number 1 the board is not going to pass it and that moving it to number 13 may be the best option. Mr. Ellis stated that the consensus is that they want the project to happen with the bridge project. Chairman Hunt asked if the previous workshop ranked the project to number 2 as the highest. Mr. Kramer replied yes but then they changed it to number 13. Mr. Agnew stated that he disagrees with ranking the project and that it should coincide with the bridge project but it lays in the hands of the professionals. Mr. McClellan stated that he agrees with Mr. Agnew and that it should not be ranked and should be done the same time as the bridge project. Mr. DeVries stated that the savings from the bridge bid cannot be used for the 17 th Avenue project, but has to be used for other bridge projects only. Ms. Bennett stated that it seems like not putting the project at number 1 would jeopardize the savings and the convenience of doing the construction together at the same time. Mr. Kilmer stated that he does not understand this concern and believes the project should be ranked at number 2 so that it does not take precedence over the ITS project. Ms. Bennett moved to recommend the TPO authorize the TPO chairman sign Resolution FL-AL adopting the Fiscal Year (FY) 2018-FY 2022 Project Priorities with the changes to move project number 30 (17 th Avenue project) to project number 1. Mr. McClellan seconded the motion and it was passed with two opposing votes by Chairman Hunt and Mr. Kilmer. 2.

Mr. Paulk, FDOT, presented items E.2. through E.5 (Enclosures B through E) together and stated that they are recommended to ensure FDOT can authorize funding for these projects. To receive funding, the projects must be included in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Ms. Bennett asked to clarify that this is for street lighting. Mr. Paulk replied yes. Mr. McClellan asked what kind of lighting these will be. Mr. Paulk replied Light-emitting diode (LED) lights like the ones on US 98 in Gulf Breeze and Navarre. Mr. McClellan asked if they are wildlife friendly. Mr. Paulk replied that these lights will only be at the intersections. Ms. Kammerdiener moved to recommend the TPO authorize the TPO chairman to sign Resolution FL-AL amending the FY Transportation Improvement Program to Add Lighting Retrofits on SR 292 (Barrancas Avenue) from 2nd Street to West Herman Avenue; Resolution FL-AL amending the FY Transportation Improvement Program to Add Lighting Retrofits on SR 295 (South Navy Boulevard) from Sunset Avenue to CR 298A (Jackson Street); Resolution FL-AL amending the FY Transportation Improvement Program to Add Lighting Retrofits on SR 298 (Lillian Highway) from North 69 th Avenue to North 57 th Avenue ; and Resolution FL-AL amending the FY Transportation Improvement Program to Add Lighting Retrofits on SR 281 (Avalon Boulevard) from SR 8 (I-10) East Bound Ramp to Carroll Road.

90 bridge is 0.56 miles long and was built in They are looking into funding sources and it is a $30 million dollar project shared between Escambia and Santa Rosa Counties. It was the only east and west connection after Hurricane Ivan. Mr. DeVries further stated that they are seeking TPO support for FDOT bridge replacement funding and prioritization. It is a county bridge with the main funding for replacement coming from limited county resources. It qualifies for county road Federal aid but there is only $15 million dollars for the program statewide. There is not enough funds. Mr. DeVries noted that Mr. Shawn Ward is on board with moving it up on the priority list. Mr. McClellan asked what the bridge rating is. Mr. DeVries stated it is a 4 but it is structurally and functionally obsolete. Mr. McClellan stated that the Theo Baars Bridge has major deficiencies and asked if a Project Development and Environment (PD&E) Study has been done on it. Mr. DeVries replied that it is not a structurally deficient bridge and that a PD&E study has been done. Mr. Kilmer moved to recommend the TPO authorize the TPO chairman sign Resolution FL- AL approving a letter of support requesting the addition of Quintette Road Bridge # to the Statewide Bridge Replacement Program Priority List.
