The presentation was in response to the comments and concerns of the MPO Policy Board and the Martin County Engineering staff. At the MPO Policy Board Meeting on May 17,2010, Martin County Engineering staff expressed disagreement with the traffic projections for this project. County staff had concerns about the proposed roadway design and whether the traffic analysis is in agreement with the County's Comprehensive Growth Management Plan's Future Land Use Map and population projections. Two of the MPO Board members questioned why a diamond-type of configuration is not being implemented for the SR 76 interchange, given earlier discussions with FOOT. The consultant responded that based on the traffic analysis, the diamond-type configuration was not feasible. ISSUES Ouring the presentation on September Ist, the FOOT consultant showed a slide that had an expansion of the bridge over the Turnpike (west ofthe SR76/195 Interchange) to six lanes. (Please see attached.) The TAC and CAC both had concerns about whether this bridge expansion was necessary. MPO and County staff have been working with the staff of the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council on the 2035 Regional Long Range Transportation Plan, and have found that the 2030 model, which was used for the SR76 PO&E Study, appears to have some inaccuracies in the traffic data. The TAC requested a special meeting before the September 20 th MPO Policy Meeting, in order to have a sensible recommendation for the Board. Because the CAC expressed similar concerns about this project, I believed that a Joint CAC/TAC meeting would be beneficial. 4A RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommendation Provide input. FISCAL IMPACT Recommendation Cost estimates for improvements identified by this study are developed after the study is completed.

TRIP is funded through General Revenue Funds made available through the 2005 growth management legislation. TRIP funds are distributed to the FDOT Districts based on a statutory formula and require a 50% match. In order to qualify for TRIP funding, in 2006 the Martin MPO, S1. Lucie TPO, and Indian River MPO established a new regional entity called the Treasure Coast Transportation Council (TCTC) to address the prioritization of regional projects. The voting membership ofthe TCTC consists ofthe Chairperson and one other member of the Policy Board ofeach ofthe Treasure Coast area's MPOs. ISSUES Although TRIP funding was not available last year, FDOT has informed the three Treasure Coast MPOs that $568,581 is available for application. This amounts to $189,527 per county, and these monies will be programmed for FY2013/14. The staffofthe Martin, S1. Lucie, and Indian River MPOs recommend this year's TRIP funding be put towards improvements along the Florida East Coast (FEC) corridor in anticipation of passenger rail service operating in the Treasure Coast region. Indian River and S1. Lucie MPOs are proposing to put the their portion of the TRIP funds toward train stations along the FEC tracks in their respective counties. Martin has already received ARRA funding for its Transit Depot in Downtown Stuart along the rail corridor, however, the ARRA funds are only paying for the building itself. Hence, MPO staff is recommending that Martin's portation of the TRIP monies fund the exterior amenities of the transit depot, including bus parking/circulation, passenger access and covered walkway. The TCTC is scheduled to meet on Thursday, September 30 th to discuss and approve this year's TRIP project application. The meeting will be held in the S1. Lucie Commission Chambers at 2:00pm. I 4B RECOMMENDED ACTION Recommendation Recommend to the MPO Board approval of using $189,527 (Martin's portion of the $568,581 in TRIP funding) for the exterior amenities of the Transit Depot, including bus parking/circulation, passenger access and covered walkway. FISCAL IMPACT Recommendation $568,581 in TRIP funding for the Treasure Coast region, which includes $189,527 for Martin County APPROVAL MPO Page I of I

Unfortunately, Fri Sept 17th is also our monthly TCRPC Board meeting (the Board meets on the third Friday of the month - 9:30 AM - noon), so_ I won't be able to attend actually be presenting an overview of passenger rail in Florida to the Council with detailed presentations about the rail projects relevant to the Region (high speed rail, intercity passenger rail/ Amtrak, and Tri-Rail/SFECC study). I'd be happy to give the same presentation to a future TAC or joint meeting if you prefer.
