DEFERRED: Amendment to the Palm Beach MPO s adopted 24 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) I-95 at Glades Road This item was deferred to the March agenda. 2.B. TABLED: Amendment to the Palm Beach MPO s adopted 24 LRTP Florida s Turnpike MS. ALISON STETTNER, Turnpike Planning Manager presented this item. She highlighted the Turnpike system in Palm Beach County including the traffic growth, improvements needed, and currently funded projects. She explained that the Turnpike intends to widen the mainline in Palm Beach County from six (6) to ten (1) lanes between Broward County and Boynton Beach Boulevard, and from four (4) to eight (8) lanes from Boynton Beach Boulevard to north of Indiantown Road, and that the additional capacity will be provided in the form of managed lanes. She noted that this requires an LRTP amendment, as the current LRTP only includes eight (8) lanes from Broward County to Boynton Beach Boulevard, six (6) from Boynton Beach Boulevard. to PGA Boulevard, and four (4) lanes from PGA Boulevard to north of Indiantown Road, and that the LRTP does not identify the need for managed lanes. She reviewed the current project status of the Boynton Beach Boulevard to Lake Worth Road project and noted a Design Public Information Meeting will be held on Thursday, March 3 th at 5:3 p.m. at the West Boynton Recreation Center. MS. STETTNER also reviewed the regional project of all electronic tolling within Palm Beach County. She highlighted the express lanes philosophy and background of why they are being implemented. She noted that toll rates are based on demand and as traffic increases the rates increase with no cap. She stated that due to constraints this will be the last time widenings are made to this facility, as additional widenings would have large impacts and right of way acquisitions. She showed a video provided by the Florida s Turnpike that explained express lanes. Dr. Kim DeLaney and Mr. Wil Hicks joined the meeting at 9:15 a.m. A lengthy discussion ensued regarding revenue allocation, double tolling and increased tolls during peak times, use of park and ride lots, capacity concerns, tolling procedures during an emergency, lessons learned from I-95 express lanes, interchange improvements, among other concerns brought up by members. Several committee members requested the MPO staff s opinion or recommendations regarding this issue. MR. UHREN stated the LRTP identified the need for the additional lanes in the cost feasible plan but that MPO staff had not rendered an opinion regarding the need for capacity beyond that or whether the introduction of managed lanes was warranted. He noted that the Turnpike presentation was to be sufficient in supporting or opposing the request. Further discussion ensued. MOTION to RECOMMEND APPROVAL of the requested Amendment to the Palm Beach MPO s adopted 24 LRTP with a request that the MPO Governing Board establish a policy regarding the express lanes, and that the Turnpike include a separate study of park and ride lots in this corridor. Motion by Mr. Khurshid Mohyuddin. No second, motion failed. 4

At least 1 Campaign annually Conduct crosswalk safety campaigns in hot spots in this plan The Palm Beach MPO conducted the Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Study to formally analyze five years of pedestrian and bicyclist crash data in Palm Beach County and develop evidence-based recommendations for safety countermeasures, educational strategies, and performance targets. Crash data from 21 to 214 were obtained and analyzed from the Florida Department of Transportation s () Unified Basemap Repository (UBR). A total of 1,743 traffic collisions with pedestrians and 1,534 traffic collisions with bicyclists were recorded from the timeframe studied. Hospital data from the Florida Department of Health s (FDOH) Florida Injury Surveillance Data System provided unique insights into injuries that are not recorded in the traffic collision data, particularly juvenile bicyclist crashes. PBC Educate children on pedestrian and bicycle safety skills Palm Beach County School District Safe Routes to School, SafeKids, WalkSafe, BikeSafe, Palm Beach YMCAs, and FAU CUES All K-12 Schools Implement Curriculum annually Educate adults on bicycle safety skills League of American Bicyclists Adult Education Organizations,, Palm Beach MPO, Local Municipalities, and AARP At least 1 Training annually Local Law Enforcement and Local Municipalities CTST and Alert Today Alive Tomorrow, and League of American Cyclists At least 1 Campaign annually Implement bike light safety campaigns to educate and distribute bike lights to cyclists in each hot spot and corridor identified in this plan Source: National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) Pedestrian Fatalities by Year Pedestrian/Motor Vehicle Traffic PBC Pedestrian/Non-Motor Vehicle Traffic 212 Year Pedalcyclist Fatalities by Year Pedalcyclist/Motor Vehicle Traffic Pedalcyclist/Non-Motor Vehicle Traffic Count Partners Source: FDOH Injury Surveillance Data System Lead Agency Count Initiative Pedalcyclist Source: FDOH Injury Surveillance Data System Bicyclist Fatalities At a Glance Year Crash density and hot spot analysis maps were prepared based on the UBR data. Ten clusters of hot spots and 1 high crash corridors were identified. The following tables show recommended countermeasures based on the crash data. Additional studies including pedestrian road safety audits may be needed to further the implementation strategy. Quantifiable safety targets and performance measures are valuable because tracking progress will determine if the initiatives are meeting the targets. The Palm Beach MPO will monitor the Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Performance Measures and Targets with the ultimate goal of zero incidents and will work with partner agencies to achieve the Safety Initiatives. Potential Countermeasure: Pedestrian Hybrid Beacons Potential Countermeasure: Flashing Yellow Arrow Potential Countermeasure: Speed Monitoring Devices 11 Pedalcyclist and bicyclist are generally interchangeable terms for this purpose, a person on a vehicle powered solely by pedals.

13 A QUICK GUIDE TO MOTIONS AND VOTING Motions are statements that describe a proposed action or decision. Although the formality may seem cumbersome, the process of making motions ensures that no decision is accepted without the opportunity for discussion and a vote. Types of Motions Main motion A motion must be made and seconded to initiate discussion on an issue. Substitute motion To propose an alternative action to the main motion. Up to two substitute motions may be on the floor at one time. If a substitute motion passes, it does away with the prior motions. If it fails, the prior motion comes back up for consideration. Friendly amendments These are editorial changes that may be allowed if the maker and seconder of the motion do not object. Call the question A motion to end debate and vote on the motion at hand. If seconded and passed, the main motion is then voted on. If no second or fails, discussion continues. (The Chair can choose to end debate.) Motion to table Non-debatable. If seconded, discussion ends and must be voted on immediately. A subsequent motion to take from the table is required to reopen discussion. Motion to reconsider Can only be made by a Representative on the prevailing side of a previous vote. If seconded and passed, it rescinds the previous vote and brings the motion back for discussion. Any Representative who voted on the prevailing side may make a motion for reconsideration at the meeting during which the vote was taken, or at the next regularly scheduled meeting unless the action for which the vote was taken has been completed by the next regularly scheduled meeting and cannot be undone. Making a Motion A Representative of the committee proposes a motion: I move that Motions require that a second Representative of the committee agrees to consider the proposal to ensure that the proposal is meaningful to more than one person. A Representative of the committee chooses to second: I second, or I second for discussion if you want to be clear that you are not in support but want to entertain a conversation about the proposal. Without a second the motion will die. Once the committee has had a chance to speak in favor or against the motion, the Chair will lead a vote. Voting Representatives must be physically present to vote. At any given meeting, if a Representative is absent, the Alternate may vote in place of the absent Representative. Verbally: Voting members signify votes by saying Aye/Yes or Nay/No. Show of hands: If requested by the Chair or staff, voting Representatives keep hands raised until all votes have been counted Roll Call: If requested by the Chair, a Representative, or the MPO Executive Director, the recording secretary will call the roll. A tie vote shall be interpreted as a failure to pass. 13
