4 BACKGROUND The Bay County 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) Update began when the Bay County Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) approved the Scope of Services on August 27, The 2040 LRTP consists of 10 primary tasks that are identified below: Public Involvement Program Data Development Goals and Objectives Evaluation Criteria Financial Resources Transportation Land Use Alternatives Needs Assessment Cost Feasible Plan Air Quality Conformity Final and Summary Report A major element in the development of an LRTP is the adoption of the Needs Plan. This Technical Report describes the 2040 Needs Plan process and is organized into eight sections: Existing plus Committed Analysis Steering Committee Meetings Public Review Adopted 2040 Needs Plan and Costs 2040 Needs Plan Deficiencies 2040 Needs Plan compared to 2035 Needs Plan Purpose and Needs Statements Appendices Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 1

5 EXISTING PLUS COMMITTED ANALYSIS To determine what roadway projects are initially needed, an Existing plus Committed Network is established. The Existing plus Committed Network is comprised entirely of major arterial and collector roads, within the study area, plus new or expanded (committed) roadways funded for construction between 2010 and These projects are then coded into the transportation model and the model is run with the 2040 land use data to determine deficiencies. Deficiencies are based on volume to capacity ratios. To determine the transportation needs for the year 2040, the traffic model is run using the Existing plus Committed Network and projected future land use in The inputs to the model considered several local government master plans including the Bay County Sector Plan. One of the outputs of this model is a map showing the road deficiencies. The deficiency map is one of the tools to help determine where and what type of roadway improvements are needed to meet demand of future growth on the infrastructure. For this analysis, the following table was utilized. Daily v/c Ratio Congestion Level Borderline Congested 1.1 to 1.3 Congested Higher than 1.3 Very Congested The list of projects, as well as the map of the Existing plus Committed Network along with the deficiencies, is included in Appendix A. Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 2

6 STEERING COMMITTEE MEETINGS Another way of soliciting public involvement beyond the traditional public workshops was the establishment of a Steering Committee. The Steering Committee was established at the September 2014 TPO Advisory Committee Meetings. The membership of the Steering Committee is identified in Appendix B. The Steering Committee met three times for input on the 2040 Needs Plan. At the August 18, 2015 Steering Committee Meeting, an update on the Port of Panama City, the Northwest Florida Beach International Airport, Tyndall Air Force Base, and Panama City Community Redevelopment Agency Projects was presented by the TPO s General Planning Consultant in addition to the projects recommended for inclusion in the 2040 Needs Plan. At the September 15, 2015 Steering Committee Meeting, an update on Freight Issues was presented by the Florida Department of Transportation. In addition, an update on Bay Town Trolley and the Naval Coastal Systems Center was presented by the TPO s General Planning Consultant in addition to the projects recommended for inclusion in the 2040 Needs Plan. After reviewing the material in the above presentations, it was determined that express bus routes should be included in the 2040 Needs Plan Projects. The projects listed in the freight documents were already included in the roadway projects in the 2040 Needs Plan. Most of the projects mentioned by the Port and Airport pertained to operational improvements and improvements within their property boundaries. However, the northern airport connection was included as an aspirational project. It was also determined that roadway improvements would consider multi-modal improvements such as bicycle lanes, sidewalks, and bus routes. The Steering Committee recommended at their November 2, Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 3

8 PUBLIC REVIEW In September 2015, two public meetings regarding the 2040 Needs Plan were held. The first public meeting was held at the First Baptist Church in Lynn Haven on September 15, 2015 at 4:30 p.m. The second meeting occurred at the A.D. Harris Learning Center on September 17, 2015 at 4:30 p.m. A PowerPoint presentation of the LRTP process and the Needs Plan component was presented at each of the three meetings, followed by an open house format where individuals could review maps of the draft Needs Assessment Roadway and Transit projects and ask questions of the LRTP planning staff. The advertisements were placed in the Panama City News Herald, mailed to members of the Transportation Information Network, and included on the LRTP web site and Facebook pages. The Transportation Information Network is comprised of members of the TPO and Advisory Committees as well as citizens who have expressed an interest in transportation planning in Bay County. Approximately 170 people are listed in the Transportation Information Network. In addition, a newsletter was also prepared and e- mailed to members of the Transportation Information Network. A copy of the newsletter is located in Appendix C. Public outreach to the following community groups was also conducted regarding public input into the development of the 2040 Needs Plan. A summary of the questions asked and responses to the questions were sent to the organizer of the groups with a request to distribute to their members. Callaway City Council on February 24, 2015 at Callaway Arts and Conference Center. Glenwood Working Partnership on March 22, 2015 at Glenwood Community Center in Panama City. East Bay Rotary Club on April 20, 2015 at Rodeo's Restaurant in Callaway. Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 5

Bay County Economic Development Alliance on September 9, 2015 at Florida State University Bland Center in Panama City. Bay County Chamber of Commerce on October 2, 2015 at Florida State University Panama Holley Academic Center in Panama City. Lynn Haven City Council Meeting on October 6, 2015 at Lynn Haven City Council Chambers. Kiwanis Club on October 14, 2015 at St. Andrews Yacht Club. Lynn Haven Rotary Club on October 28, 2015 at Panama Country Club. Panama City Beach Rotary Club on October 29, 2015 at Fishale Tap House in Panama City Beach. The last technique to involve feedback from the public was development of a transportation survey. This survey was distributed at each outreach event. The survey was also located on the TPO s web site for people to complete. Over 220 surveys were completed throughout the study process. The summary of the results are located in Appendix D. A summary of the Steering Committee s meetings as well as the public outreach including the survey results was presented to TPO and Advisory Committee for their review prior to voting on the 2040 Needs Plan projects. Projects that were included in the 2040 Needs Plan based upon the public outreach were: two park and ride lots; express bus routes to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport; compressed natural gas fueling stations; and the regional trails program.

10 ADOPTED NEEDS PLAN AND COSTS Some LRTPS in Florida have used transportation costs identified in a statewide FDOT book called Transportation Costs. However, FDOT District III representatives have mentioned the costs identified in this book are not realistic for the FDOT District III region. Therefore, the TPO Staff and FDOT District III Staff agreed to develop reasonable costs to be utilized for this LRTP. The agreed upon unit costs are identified in Appendix G. These 2014 costs are typical for project phases in District III. The costs were furnished by the FDOT District III Work Program Production Division. The preferred 2040 Needs Plan was presented to the Technical Coordinating Committee, the Citizens Advisory Committee, and the Bay County Transportation Planning Organization on December 2, A list of the meetings dates and actions appear below. The adopted 2040 Needs Plan Map and Projects are listed in Appendix F. December 2, 2015 Technical Coordinating Committee (TCC) Meeting The TCC recommended approval with the following changes: (1) Add CR 389 (East Avenue) from CR 390 to Baldwin Road; (2) SR/CR 389 (East Avenue) from Baldwin Road to Sherman Avenue; and (3) add language to the Operation and Maintenance Section of the Final Report for local contribution for Bridge Replacement Projects. December 2, 2015 Citizens Advisory Committee (CAC) Meeting The CAC recommended approval with the following changes: (1) Add CR 389 (East Avenue) from CR 390 to Baldwin Road; (2) SR/CR 389 (East Avenue) from Baldwin Road to Sherman Avenue; and (3) add language to the Operation and Maintenance Section of the Final Report for local contribution for Bridge Replacement Projects.

11 December 2, 2015 Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) Meeting The TPO approved the 2040 Long Range Transportation Needs Plan with the following changes: (1) Add CR 389 (East Avenue) from CR 390 to Baldwin Road; (2) SR/CR 389 (East Avenue) from Baldwin Road to Sherman Avenue; and (3) add language to the Operation and Maintenance Section of the Final Report for local contribution for Bridge Replacement Projects. The costs of the 2040 Needs Plan Projects are listed in Appendix G. The costs are based on the unit costs listed in Appendix E and were refined where necessary based upon Projects Development and Environmental Studies as well as the local knowledge of the area based upon Steering Committee review of the Needs Plan Projects. Listed below are the costs of the Needs Plan for Highways, Transit, and nonmotorized. The total cost of the 2040 Needs Plan is $2,191,915,252. Please note that this cost does not include the aspirational projects shown in the adopted 2040 Needs Plan list. The aspirational projects are listed as projects that are needed beyond However, these projects are also identified because of their potential transportation impacts to the region. Lastly, as a result of consultation with the Bay County staff, the needs plan projects associated with Bay County Sector Plan are: West Bay Parkway from US 98 (SR 30) to US 231 (SR 75) SR 388 from East of Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport to SR 77 Powerline Road from West Bay Parkway to SR 79 at Loop Road Connection Gulf Coast Parkway Extension from SR 77 to US 231 (SR 75) Back Beach Bypass from Loop Road to Nautilus Street Express Bus Service to Airport from Panama City Beach to Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport Recreational Trails Program Total 2040 Needs Plan Costs Shown by Project Category Roadway Projects $2,151,365,252 Public Transportation Projects $11,300,000 Mobility Programs $29,250,000 Total $2,191,915,252 Aspiration Projects $1,418,058,371 Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 8

12 2040 NEEDS PLAN DEFICIENCIES Deficiencies for the adopted 2040 Needs Plan are illustrated in Appendix H. Deficiencies are determined from the 2040 Northwest Florida Regional Transportation Model. The 2040 socio-economic data that was developed in coordination with the Land Use Subcommittee was utilized in the development of the forecast deficiencies. The data was used by the model to produce travel demand on the roadway network. This demand is analyzed as volume to roadway capacity or Volume to Capacity (V/C). The analysis that was completed identified facilities that are expected to experience various levels of congestion in year For this analysis, the following V/C Ratios were used: Daily v/c Ratio Congestion Level Borderline Congested 1.1 to 1.3 Congested Higher than 1.3 Very Congested As indicated on the map, most of the deficiencies are addressed by the 2040 Needed Improvements. The next step in the process is to reduce the adopted 2040 Needs Plan to a 2040 Cost Feasible Plan. The 2040 Cost Feasible Plan process is documented in an additional Technical Report.

15 PURPOSE AND NEEDS STATEMENTS A Purpose and Needs Statement is a requirement of the State of Florida regarding the Efficient Transportation Decision Making (EDTM) process. The ETDM process is a streamlined way to receive input from different environmental agencies early in the process regarding a roadway capacity project. The following are the Purpose and Needs Statements for each roadway capacity project in the 2040 Needs Plan. 1) West Bay Parkway US 98 at Walton County Line to SR 388, east of SR 79 New 4-lane divided roadway West Bay Parkway / SR 388 east of Panama City International Airport Entrance to west of SR 79 Widen from 2 to 4 lanes, divided West Bay Parkway SR 388 to CR 388, north on SR 77 New 4-lane divided roadway This project has been included in previous Cost Feasible Plans as a Potential Toll Project (it was previously been referred to as the Gulf Coast Parkway Extension). The benefits of the new facility include improving mobility and interconnectivity in the regional transportation network and enhancing traveler safety. Additionally, the improvements will provide better access to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport, improve hurricane evacuation and emergency response capabilities, promote economic development in the region, and increase capacity and relieve existing and anticipated traffic congestion, particularly along the US 98 corridor. 2) Gulf Coast Parkway Extension from SR 77 to US 231 / SR 75 - New 4-lane divided roadway This project has been included in the 2035 and 2040 LRTPs and a Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) study is currently underway. This project has been included in previous Cost Feasible Plans as a Potential Toll Project. This project will connect SR 77 to US 231, thus providing improved connectivity within the region. Both SR 77 and US 231 are evacuation routes and a connection between these routes will assist with evacuating during emergencies. 3) Gulf Coast Parkway / Star Avenue (CR 2315) US 231 / SR 75 to County Line Widen/new facility from 2 to 4 lanes, divided This project has been included in previous Cost Feasible Plans as a Potential Toll Project. A Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) study is currently underway for this project. The purpose of the proposed Gulf Coast Parkway is to improve mobility by increasing the regional transportation network, increase security of the Tyndall Air Force Base (AFB), enhance economic development in Bay and Gulf Counties, and improve emergency evacuation of Gulf and Bay Counties. These goals will be achieved by: Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 12

16 1. Reducing travel times for residents from southeast Bay and coastal Gulf counties to employment centers in Panama City. 2. Providing a more direct route between US 98 in Gulf County and freight transfer facilities on US 231 within Bay County. 3. Improving access between Gulf County Enterprise Zones along CR 386 and US 98 and the major freight transportation route out of Bay County, US Providing a direct route for tourists traveling US 231 to reach vacation and recreation opportunities in south Gulf County. 5. Providing a more direct route from south Gulf County to the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. 6. Increasing traffic capacity of existing roadways; in particular, the currently congested sections of US 98 (Tyndall Pkwy). 7. Improving security for the Tyndall AFB by providing an alternative route to US 98 around Tyndall. 8. Providing an alternative to existing emergency evacuation routes. 9. Providing a new corridor consistent with the adopted Bay County Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP); and the adopted Bay County and proposed Gulf County Comprehensive Plans. 4) Power Line Road West Bay Parkway to SR 79 New 4-lane divided roadway This project was identified in the previous Needs Plan. This proposed roadway would provide an alternate for US 98, thus alleviating congestion on US 98. It will connect to a project currently referred to as the Loop Road which will begin at SR 79 and travel east to tie into US 98 at Pier Park Road. Having this alternative would be beneficial to freight carriers throughout the area. US 98 is an evacuation route, so this would provide an alternate evacuation route. The need for this project is based upon evaluation of future land use and traffic demand along the project s corridor. It will be the third link in a roadway that will ultimately parallel US 98 from Nautilus Road to the West Bay Parkway into Walton County. 5) Gulf to Bay Highway / CR 386A US 98, West of Mexico Beach, to County Line New 4-lane divided roadway This project has been identified in previous Cost Feasible Plans as a Local or TRIP Funded Project. The proposed new roadway would provide an alternate route to US 98 through Mexico Beach and would also serve as a bypass around Mexico Beach. A Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) study is currently wrapping up on this project. 6) US 98 / SR 30A / Panama City Beach Parkway Mandy Lane to Thomas Drive / CR 3031 Widen from 4 to 6 lanes, divided The need for improvements along this corridor was identified in the previous Needs Plan. This need is based upon evaluation of future land use and traffic demand along the project s corridor. Overall the US 98 corridor provides east / west regional access, connecting the Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 13

17 beach areas of the Florida Panhandle and southern Alabama, as well as, providing access to multiple military establishments in the area. This segment provides northwest / southeast regional access for the approximate 7.55 miles between Mandy Lane and Thomas Drive / CR The proposed facility would provide additional northwest / southeast capacity and acts as a parallel facility to Power Line Road and Front Beach Road. The Florida Department of Transportation is currently working towards including all of US98 through District 3 on the SIS. If this occurs the TPO would like to see this project become a high SIS priority project. 7) US 98 / Thomas Drive Interchange, Phases II and III a. Hathaway Bridge, west approach, to over Thomas Dr New 3-lane elevated roadway b. Hathaway Bridge, west approach, to over Thomas Dr - New 2-lane connection to Back Beach Rd c. New elevated roadway to Front Beach Rd New 2-lane connector d. New elevated roadway to Thomas Dr New 2-lane flyover e. Hathaway Bridge, west approach, to Thomas Dr 3 lanes to 2-lane Frontage Rd The need for this interchange was included in the previous Needs and Cost Feasible Plans. This project is also a SIS Priority. This project would greatly improve connectivity between Panama City and Panama City Beach. US98 is also an evacuation route, so this improvement would assist with evacuating residents. 8) US 98A / SR 30 / Front Beach Rd- Deluna Place to Richard Jackson Boulevard, 2 - lane divided and dedicated transit lanes This project was identified in the previous Needs Plan. It is a Panama City Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Project, which includes reconstruction of the existing rural 2- lane roadway to provide a 2- lane urban roadway and a dedicated transit lane in each direction as well as sidewalks, bicycle lanes, land- and street-scaping, ITS fiber optic communication to enhance transit and signal operations, and a drainage system that catches & treats all stormwater runoff along the corridor. The Front Beach Road Improvement Project will result in development of a vibrant multi-modal transportation corridor, which will serve the beach front tourism and commerce corridor and will be an important link in the transit connection to the new Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport. It will promote long-term economic growth in a manner that is sustainable for generations to come. The project is designed to enhance economic competitiveness by making more efficient use of multiple modes of transportation leading to reduced fuel consumption, reduced automotive pollutants and greater personal health through walking and biking. 9) SR 22 (Wewa Highway) Business 98 to Gulf Coast Parkway Widen from 2 to 4 lanes, divided This project was included in previous Cost Feasible Plans and a segment is currently included on the TPO s Non-SIS priority list. This project would provide needed capacity for the growth occurring on the eastern side of Bay County. This project is also planned to lead Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 14

18 into the planned Gulf Coast Parkway. SR 22 / Wewa Highway is an east-west minor arterial. It provides important regional access with its connections to US 98 and Tyndall Air Force Base. The widening of the facility from two to four-lanes is intended to provide additional east / west capacity in Panama City and will be a parallel to CR 28 / E. 11th Street to the north and US 98 Bus/SR 30 to the south as well as being an alternative to Cherry St. 10) CR 390 SR 77 to US 231 Widen from 2 to 4 lanes, divided This project was identified in the previous Needs Plan. CR 390 between SR 77 / Ohio Ave and SR 75 / US 231 is a critical link for the transportation system in this portion of Bay County. It is the only roadway that travels from SR 77 to US 231 in this area. It provides a connection to Gulf Coast Community College and Florida State University's Panama City Campus. The roadway is currently experiencing congested conditions that are only expected to get worse as traffic volumes in the area increase. CR 390 is also a designated hurricane evacuation route. This is a top priority for Bay County. FDOT has recently begun a PD&E study on this segment. 11) SR 79 / Arnold Road SR 30 / US 98A / Front Beach Road to SR 30A / US 98 / Panama City Beach Parkway CRA Project E, Capacity improvement, widen from 2 to 4 lanes, divided Since SR79 is an evacuation route, the widening of SR 79 will increase the ability for residents in the southwest portion of Bay County to evacuate during emergencies. This corridor is also a vital link for travel to and from Panama City Beach and is part of the Panama City Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) plan. 12) Powell Adams Drive SR 30 / US 98A / Front Beach Rd to L.C.

US 231 is a major regional corridor that provides access to I-10 and US 98. US 231 is also a major north-south evacuation route, so improving traffic flow along this corridor would lower evacuation times. FDOT recently began a Project Development and Environmental (PD&E) study on this segment. 28) SR 20 Washington County Line to US 231 Widen from 2 to 4 lanes, divided This project was in the previous Needs Plan. The need for this improvement was identified in the regional model and takes into account improvements within Bay County and the adjoining counties. SR 20 is a major east-west corridor providing a parallel facility to both US 98 and I-10. It is also an evacuation route. It has been included in the 2040 Needs Plan as an Aspirational Project in that the need for this project is beyond the 2040 planning horizon. 29) SR 368 / 23rd St SR 390 / Beck Ave to US 231 / SR 75 Multi Modal Study Portions of 23rd Street have been identified in previous plans for widening and for multimodal improvements. During the development of the 2040 LRTP this corridor was identified as a corridor that should not be widened due to the impacts it would have on the surrounding communities. Therefore, a multimodal study was identified as needed to determine safety, bicycle, pedestrian and transit projects that could be developed to increase mobility along the corridor. 30) CR 389/East Avenue CR 390 to Baldwin Road Widen from 2 to 4 lanes, divided The proposed four lane improvement to CR389 between CR390 and US 231 / SR 75 was identified in previous Needs Plans. The need is based upon evaluation of future land use and traffic demand along the project s corridor. The proposed improvement to CR 389 begins at CR390 in Lynn Haven. The proposed improvement will end at US 231 / SR 75 in Hiland Park / Springfield area. This proposed 4-lane facility provides north / south capacity and is a parallel corridor to SR 77 from CR 390 to US ) CR 389/East Avenue Baldwin Road to Sherman Avenue Widen from 2 to 4 lanes, divided The proposed four lane improvement to East Avenue/CR 389 between Baldwin Road and Sherman Avenue was identified in previous Needs Plans. The need is based upon evaluation of future land use and traffic demand along the project s corridor. This proposed 4-lane facility provides north / south capacity and is a parallel corridor to SR 77 from CR 390 to US 231. Bay 2040 LRTP Needs Plan Report 19

23 32) US98/SR30 at Tyndall Air Force Base Grade Separated Interchange This project involves a one mile segment of SR 30 (US 98) centered at the intersection of SR 30 and Airey Avenue/Tyndall Drive in an unincorporated portion of Bay County on federal land of Tyndall AFB. The proposed improvements consider a new intersection configuration to separate Tyndall AFB traffic from through traffic, and an overpass to improve on base traffic flow. The recommended alternative is alternative seven, which is a Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI) at Tyndall Drive/Airey Avenue, and an overpass on SR 30 at Louisiana Avenue. FDOT is undertaking a PD&E study of SR 30 (US 98) at Tyndall AFB. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has approved the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) for public availability. 33) East 39 th Street Extension Camryns Crossing to Transmitter Road This project was identified by Bay County as an extension/connection for further promote a grid network in the area. The addition of this roadway to the network will relieve SR389 (East Avenue) and to a lesser degree CR 390. This need is based upon evaluation of future land use and traffic demand along the project s corridor. The proposed improvement is to a facility that provides an additional east / west capacity. 34) Star Avenue SR22/Wewa Highway to US231/SR75 Widen to 4 lanes This project has been identified as a need in numerous plans. The West Bay Parkway project alignments that are being considered will have direct impact on this project. Currently the preferred alignment is expected to use and improve this segment of Star Avenue. Should this be the ultimate alignment, then the need for this project will be addressed by the West Bay Parkway project. The widening of Star Avenue is need to address forecast deficiencies along the roadway due to the continued growth in the area surrounding the corridor. Specifically industrial growth in the East Bay area and in Town of Parker at the paper mill and the newly proposed port facility in the Millville community. 35) CR2321 US231/SR75 to SR77 Widen to 4 lanes This project has been identified in previous Needs Plans and is needed to address the existing and forecast congestion along the roadway. This need is based upon evaluation of future land use and traffic demand along the project s corridor. This improvement will provide relief to SR77 as development continues to move north along that corridor in the Southport area. 36) CR2321/CR390 Major intersection improvement At this location CR2321 and CR390 intersect US231 in close proximity to one another. Additionally, they intersect at odd angles. There are safety and capacity issues at this location. Bay County is working with the FDOT and adjacent property owners to develop and operational improvement that involves reconfiguration of these intersections as well as a service road between CR390 and CR2321.
