Consent Item 11A: October Minutes
French Broad River Metropolitan Planning Organization Board Meeting October 31, 2013 Minutes
WELCOME AND HOUSEKEEPING Jan Davis called the meeting to order and asked for introductions. The Ethics statement was read. Public Comment One submitted by email, in support of E5504 improvements to Vance Birth place, improved sidewalk on Meadow Road and Victoria Road. Buncombe County Commissioner David King thanked the board for taking a look at the N Leicester Hwy project, and in speaking to the community. He does not have a preference for the road, he isn t impacted by the project but he has heard that they need a road. He does not know what the right road is but he has spoken to many individuals from the community, they have looked at the plans and think there has been a good deal of adjustments made, keep in mind that it is not our road it is the communities road and they do not want to lose this project, it might not be the best option but it is a project. David King wants to show that at the community level government can work, and he is not asking for himself he is asking for the community. Jan Davis thanked David King and stated that the project will be visited in depth at next month s meeting. It was made clear by NCDOT at the meeting that if it goes back for changes it may very well lose its funding. Buncombe County Commissioner Joe Bealcher thanked Jan Davis for his service and the job he does, and spoke about the I 26 connector project, he speaks to the 10% number for safety in the new funding formula, he doesn t feel this is enough, wants everyone to lock arms on I-26, and speaks to the Leicester project and wants it to move forward in whatever form. Approval of the Agenda Eddie Henderson motioned to approve September Consent Agenda, Jerry VeHaun seconded, and the motion was approved. Jan Davis Mentioned the APD tragic loss of an officer this week. No arrangements have been made yet; the family is from out of town. Please keep the family in prayers. A moment of silence was observed. Jan Davis pointed out the importance to move the I-26 connector forward, if anything positive is to come of this loss. To date there has been no loss of life on the bridge. REGULAR UPDATES (JOINTLY WITH LAND-OF-SKY RPO) NCDOT Division 13 Rick Tipton provided NCDOT Division 13 updates, also posted on FBRMPO website at http://fbrmpo.org/tip/ I-26 bridges over Pond Road scheduled for April 2016 completion, a little behind schedule Bridge painting of Jeff Bowen bridge currently ongoing there are some tarps visible scheduled for completion in late October, a little behind schedule Bridge contract project including some Buncombe County deck replacements-weaver Boulevard, Monticello Road, Elk Mountain Rd they have been nearly completed with a new concrete surface Flyover bridge from I-26 West to I-40 West has been mostly completed, required some night time closures not too much impact to traffic; should be on time for planned completion date

Legislative Updates Paul Black provided an update on legislative developments. SPOT work group had final meeting. Still waiting on final decision on awarding points to MPO/RPO s and Local Officials or NCDOT Division Engineers. Feds hopefully Fed transportation plan will be reviewed soon. Presentation of Strategic Transportation Investments Pam Cook, NCDOT TPB, showed latest video on Strategic Transportation Investments. She then presented a slideshow. Josh King and Paul Black discussed the facilities within the RPO/MPO region. The numbers in red on the presentation represent the most recent numbers based on the SPOT 3 workgroup efforts. Paul Black explained the ongoing work of staff and the Prioritization Subcommittee. John Connett asked about the process for local municipalities to participate in the project. Jay Swain explained that the money put in by Municipalities lowers the NCDOT cost so it raises the score, and NCDOT returns 50% of the investment back to the donor area in the regional category. Pam points out that as the process goes along it will be a learning process and she has confidence in the collaboration efforts of all the parties. Jay Swain mentioned that there is a transition period in between the old funding process and the new one. If projects have gotten into construction contracts by July 1, 2015 they will go ahead, if not they have to go back into the scoring process. LOSRPO Adjournment
There was no RPO meeting. Subcommittee/Workgroup Reports, Staff Updates and Housekeeping Paul Black provided updates regarding staff changes, subcommittee and workgroup activities. No questions were raised. CONSENT AGENDA A. Eddie Henderson motioned to approve the September Minutes, Don Farr seconded, and the motion carried. B.

These are projects that came from local governments that are in the LRTP or SPOT in some cases but not the CPT, just want to make the plans line up, two projects made it in to SPOT not in the other plans both in Henderson County- Brick yard and Highland Lake, worked with TPB. Eddie Henderson motioned to approve the CTP Amendments, Jerry Vehaun seconded, and the motion carried. FBRMPO BUSINESS A. TIP Prioritization and Potential New Projects Lists Included in packet all projects that are in the CPT and have not moved forward, these don t include Madison County they were not in the MPO at the time. Henderson County has submitted 10 projects for consideration. We would like for Board members to work with their TCC reps to come up with projects from this list that they feel need to move forward. The chances of any of the remaining CTP projects making it to SPOT are slight. Nothing is required today; need to make the final selection by May if possible we don t meet in June or July because of light attendance. B. Complete Streets Future Cross Section Recommendations Lyuba Zuyeva explained the Resolution is a result of 9 months of work from CSSC and local group meetings in each county to review and make recommendations for each projects. The CSSC discussed and approved these recommendations as well as the TCC. These recommendations are not the final design as far as the sidewalks or Multi Use Paths. It is a guideline for the designers. Last week Paul Black and Lyuba Zuyeva revisited Maggie Valley with NCDOT staff to clarify termini. Doug Dearth motioned to adopt the resolution, Leroy Roberson seconded, and the motion carried. C. Complete Streets Subcommittee Membership/Potential Workgroup Discussion Lyuba Zuyeva explained that the membership list is for reference, the recommendation is for sub-committee to be work group instead of Sub-Committee. Holly Jones motioned to change the Subcommittee to a Workgroup, Steve Caraker seconded, and the motion carried.

Consent Item 11C: Changes to the Federal Functionally Classified Network A combination of the MPO boundary change and new guidance from FHWA prompted a review of Functionally Classified Roads. NCDOT-TPB staff and MPO staff identified 59 changes or additions to the system. Maps of all 59 changes, grouped by county are posted on the ftp site, [link here] A brief explanation of functional class from the FHWA publication Highway Functional Classification Concepts, Criteria and Procedures, 2013 Edition: Our nation's roadway system is a vast network that connects places and people within and across national borders. Planners and engineers have developed elements of this network with particular travel objectives in mind. These objectives range from serving long-distance passenger and freight needs to serving neighborhood travel from residential developments to nearby shopping centers. The functional classification of roadways defines the role each element of the roadway network plays in serving these travel needs. Over the years, functional classification has come to assume additional significance beyond its purpose as a framework for identifying the particular role of a roadway in moving vehicles through a network of highways. Functional classification carries with it expectations about roadway design, including its speed, capacity and relationship to existing and future land use development. Federal legislation continues to use functional classification in determining eligibility for funding under the Federal-aid program. Transportation agencies describe roadway system performance, benchmarks and targets by functional classification. As agencies continue to move towards a more performance-based management approach, functional classification will be an increasingly important consideration in setting expectations and measuring outcomes for preservation, mobility and safety. Maps for each change are grouped by county and available for download: Buncombe: http://fbrmpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/buncombe_fcmaps.pdf Haywood: http://fbrmpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/haywood_fcmaps.pdf Henderson: http://fbrmpo.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/henderson_fcmaps.pdf Staff recommends approval of this item.

Item 14A: Consideration of U-3301 (NC 63/New Leicester Highway) Changes from NCDOT At their April meeting, FBRMPO adopted a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) project to match the $10 million safety improvements for this corridor in the LRTP. That project does not align with the State s version of the same document, the STIP. The Federal Highway Administration requires the two documents be in harmony before proceeding with any federal funding. In response to community concerns about the scope of the project and the MPO s decision to recognize the smaller project in the STIP, NCDOT redesigned the project. The full, 4-lane median section has been reduced slightly and the proposed roundabouts eliminated in favor of conventional 4-way intersections with signals where appropriate. The NCDOT staff asked the MPO to reconsider the project in the TIP. Under the new Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law, any project not funded for construction in the STIP/TIP by July 1, 2015 will lose its guaranteed funding and be subject to the competitive prioritization process. If the project as shown in the STIP is reinstated in the MPO s TIP, this project will be funded for construction within the guaranteed window. Reinstatement will require the MPO to revisit the 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and push projects to out years in order to make up the funding gap of around $20 million between the two plans. A revisit of the item from the February 2013 meetings: Amend the 2035 LRTP by pushing a project worth at least the value of the $20 million difference between the current LRTP project ($10 million for spot improvements and turn lanes/signals in strategic locations) and the TIP project ($29.6 million for 4-lane divided & Leicester roundabouts). Staff reviewed a few ways to approach which project(s) might be shifted, and settled on using the projects with the lowest SPOT 2 scores. Those projects are as follows: A-0010AC, I-26 north of Weaverville. Score 8.52, LRTP cost $59.1 Million. This was the lowest scoring project in the LRTP. R-4406B, US 19 widening. Score 9.43, LRTP cost $39.75 Million. This was the only other project in the LRTP to score less than a 10. By comparison, Sweeten Creek Road (our highest scoring project) received a 71.69. For reference, the U-3301 project was scored in SPOT 1. It scored 39.31, putting it at 16th out of 40 projects that were given a quantitative score: the middle to the top of the pack. For reference, the high score was 87.19 (I-4700, the Buncombe section of I-26 south of I-40). The low was 8.0 (U-4739, Amboy Road). Seven projects did not have enough data to score. Buncombe County recently removed the growth node status from Leicester in their land use plan, but business-as-usual growth projections continue to show Leicester as a growth area of the county. Staff has no stance on this item and requested the TCC make a recommendation to the board.
Item 14B: Short List of Projects to Submit for SPOT Scoring During the October meeting cycle, the MPO requested that local governments and agencies look at projects in the CTP and provide a short list of projects that did not receive scores in prior SPOT prioritizations. The MPO will get a minimum of 14 new projects for the SPOT office to provide quantitative scores, with a few additional projects allowed because we consolidated or removed some existing projects. That quantity is not known as of the agenda packet publication. The MPO will need to choose which projects will move ahead by their January meeting to meet the deadline for SPOT. The MPO staff noted 6 projects that are in the LRTP that have not yet been scored by the SPOT office and request that these be considered for inclusion: Route Route Name From / Cross Street NC-63 Leicester Hwy Patton Ave US 70 US 70 Azalea Rd WDR WDR WDR WDR Phase 3: Swannanoa River Rd/Thompson St WDR Phase 4: Riverside Drive WDR Phase 5: NC 81/Swannanoa River Rd + Azalea Rd US 74/S.

Item 14C: Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program revisit for Fiscal 2015 Work Program NCDOT Public Transit Division contacted MPO staff to ask if there were plans to include a Transportation Demand Management item in the next work program. They paid for a study that we saw last year, and the TCC directed to staff to postpone consideration of a program. The Public Transit Division has to submit their budget for review, and needs to know if we are interested in pursuing 50% funding for a position that would manage the TDM program for the region. Staff has not identified match at this time, and the recommendation is to postpone until Fiscal 2016 unless the position can be paired with funding for a Mobility Manager position to cover most or all of the match prior to the 2016 budget cycle.
