1 AGENDA ITEM C-2 Public Works STAFF REPORT TMP Oversight and Outreach Committee Meeting Date: 4/23/2019 Staff Report Number: TMP Regular Business: Provide feedback and recommend to City Council approval of the prioritization strategy for projects identified for the Transportation Master Plan Recommendation Staff requests feedback from the Oversight and Outreach Committee (the Committee) and recommendation to City Council regarding the prioritization strategy for the projects identified for the Transportation Master Plan. Policy Issues The development of a Transportation Master Plan was included as one of the top six priority projects in the City Council s adopted 2018 work plan and was included again as one of the top five priorities in the 2019 work plan. It was also one of the highest priority implementation programs in the 2016 general plan circulation element. The Committee will help guide the Transportation Master Plan process to a successful completion. Background The Transportation Master Plan (TMP) and Transportation Impact Fee (TIF) Program is the highest priority program following the adoption of the ConnectMenlo general plan land use and circulation elements in November An abbreviated summary of the work to-date is provided below; more detail is available on the project website (menlopark.org/tmp) and in the most recent City Council staff report (Attachment A). The TMP process was kicked off in June 2017 and started with outreach events during the summer and fall of 2017 to collect community feedback on transportation issues within the City. City Council also appointed the 11-member Oversight and Outreach Committee (Committee) in August The Committee s roles and responsibilities are outlined in Attachment B. Staff has met with the Committee seven times from October 2017 to December 2018, reviewing the goals, prioritization criteria and most recently, the draft strategies and recommendations. Since the Committee meeting on December 6, 2018, the City Council has taken two actions on the TMP: February 12, 2019: Modified the scope of work and next steps in response to Committee feedback in December 2018 March 26, 2019: Modified the goals of the TMP to incorporate Congestion Management, as detailed below. Referred the prioritization strategy to the Committee for consideration at their April 23, 2019 meeting. The four goals of the TMP are: 1. Safety: Vision Zero Eliminate traffic fatalities and reduce the number of non-fatal collisions by 50% by City of Menlo Park 701 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA tel

2 Staff Report #: TMP Sustainability: Enable the City to meet the goals of the Climate Action Plan, including a 27 percent greenhouse gas emission reduction. 3. Choice: Design transportation projects to accommodate all modes and people of all abilities. Encourage the use of lower emission modes such as walking, biking and transit. 4. Congestion Management: Manage traffic congestion to reduce travel time on City streets and minimize cut-through traffic on neighborhood streets, including the encouragement of the use of lower emission modes such as walking, biking, and transit, and prioritizing the safety of children, seniors, and the public. Analysis In order to help facilitate feedback from the Committee on the prioritization strategy, staff and the consultant team have prepared a workbook for this meeting (Attachment C). The workbook includes a description of staff s proposed prioritization strategy, how it would be applied, and provides information on how the strategy has evolved to incorporate community feedback over the past several weeks. The strategy was modified to simplify the process and to provide a better visual indication of how projects meet the different criteria. The workbook also reiterates the purpose and goals of the TMP and the roles and responsibilities of the Committee for context, and provides a summary of the connection of the Committee s action to next steps in the TMP development and the upcoming community engagement efforts. Questions to prompt Committee members on key areas of consideration and feedback at the April 23, 2019 meeting are provided. Staff recommends Committee members use the workbook to prepare for the meeting. Committee members are welcomed to send staff questions to clarify materials or provide additional information in advance of the meeting. Prior proposals of the prioritization strategy included numerical values for each criterion and grouping of the projects by implementation timing and cost. Staff and the consultant team have modified the prioritization strategy based on feedback received from the Committee, City Council and members of the public to simplify the process and to provide a better visual indication of how projects meet the different criteria and builds on the implementation groups. The projects are identified on whether they do not meet, partially meet or fully meet each criteria. Then, the projects are separated into two tiers. The Tier 1 projects are projects that fully meet one or more of the key criteria, including safety, congestion management, greenhouse gas reduction, transportation sustainability, and schools and provide a transportation network connection. Thirty-one of the projects have been identified as Tier 1 and they are shown on the map in Attachment D and summarized in the tables in Attachment E. Tier 1 projects are the high priority projects that the City would plan to implement first and as funding and staffing resources are available. The remaining projects are considered Tier 2 Opportunity projects. The Tier 2 projects are still important to the transportation network, but are considered lower priority and would be implemented over time and when there are opportunities to include the projects such as when a street is being repaved or an adjacent property is being developed. The Tier 2 projects are summarized in the tables included in Attachment F. Next Steps and Schedule The consultant team has also started preparing the cost estimates for the projects to include in the TIF program, and staff met with the Complete Streets Commission (CSC) TMP subcommittee to get initial feedback on the regrouping and reorganizing of the project list. The CSC subcommittee also provided additional feedback on bicycle routes and how they would connect various destinations within the city which staff is incorporating into the prioritization criteria. Staff has also been working on responses to Committee member Barnes questions and will have a separate document ready at a later date. City of Menlo Park 701 Laurel St., Menlo Park, CA tel

3 Staff Report #: TMP Following this meeting, staff will be returning to the City Council for their approval of the prioritization strategy. An online survey and community open house would follow. The project schedule had previously targeted an online survey and community open house for May/June 2019, however, the schedule has been pushed back in order to allow for additional feedback from the Committee on the prioritization strategy. In the past, the City has tried to avoid holding community meetings during the summer due to vacation schedules and potential for less community engagement. Staff is recommending that the Committee provide a recommendation on whether the project proceed with moving forward with the project and including a community workshop during the summer or to delay the community workshop to the fall. Below is the proposed project schedule, assuming community engagement proceeds over the summer months, currently anticipated to occur in July. If engagement is delayed until fall, adoption of the TMP is anticipated to occur in spring 2020, an approximate 3 to 4 month delay: Table 1: Proposed project schedule Task Schedule Committee meeting No. 8 review of prioritization strategy April 23, 2019 City Council approval of prioritization strategy May 21, 2019 Community workshop and online open house July 2019 City Council study session of draft TIF Program update May 21, 2019 (tentative) City Council adoption of TIF Program update Fall 2019 Committee meeting No. 9 and CSC review of draft TMP Fall 2019 City Council review and adoption of TMP End of 2019 Major project milestone accomplishments and deliverables will continue to be posted on the City project website (menlopark.org/tmp).

11 Purpose of the TMP In 2016, the City of Menlo Park adopted ConnectMenlo, an update to the Land Use and Circulation elements of its General Plan. The Circulation Element program included preparation of a Transportation Master Plan (TMP) that includes roadway system improvements and updates to the Bicycle Master Plan and Sidewalk Master Plan. The TMP will bridge the Circulation Element s policy framework and individual improvement projects by: Identifying a comprehensive list of citywide infrastructure projects and strategic programs to enhance the transportation network Ranking individual projects and programs for implementation using goals and criteria identified by the community Identifying potential funding options for implementation, including updating the Transportation Impact Fee Program. The TMP will provide a roadmap for the implementation of needed improvements, showing how each improvement fits into the context of the City s goals and in relation to one another. By providing this context and prioritization of projects, it will improve efficiency, shorten implementation timelines, and improve the City s effectiveness in pursuing funding opportunities. The TMP is a planning document and each of the projects in the TMP will need to go through its own design, outreach and construction phase. The TMP is also a living document that can be updated as priorities and transportation conditions change. Goals of the TMP Safety Vision Zero Eliminate traffic fatalities and reduce the number of non-fatal collisions by 50% by Sustainability Enable the City to meet the goals of the Climate Action Plan, including a 27 percent greenhouse gas emission reduction from 2005 levels by Choice Design transportation projects to accommodate all modes and people of all abilities. Encourage the use of lower emission modes such as walking, biking and transit. Congestion Management Manage traffic congestion to reduce travel time on City streets and minimize cut-through traffic on neighborhood streets, including the encouragement of the use of lower emission modes such as walking, biking, and transit, and prioritizing the safety of children, seniors, and the public. 3

12 The Planning Process We are here! Initiation Transportation Data Summary Community Engagement: Vision & Goals Strategies & Recommendations Working Paper Prioritization Community Engagement: Strategies & Recommendations Draft TIF Draft TMP Adoption Once the prioritization system is finalized following this OOC meeting and approved by City Council, the planning team will present the recommended improvements and prioritization system to the public. The team will then consider the public s feedback and produce a draft TMP for Planning Commission and City Council review. Public Outreach The upcoming public outreach phase will consist of the following activities: Online Survey and Open House The City will build a website for community members to learn about the project and provide input on the recommendations. The site will feature a map-based tool to help community members sort through different categories of projects and find the projects that matter most to them. Bike routes for key destinations in the city will also be mapped. Community Open House The Open House will be an opportunity for community members to visit various stations to learn about the TMP and the recommendations and interact with the planning team while leaving feedback on the prioritized list of projects. Additional Outreach Events The City will plan up to three supplemental outreach activities to reach community members who are not already participating the the process. This could include pop-up meetings, briefings to neighborhood groups, or other activities. The results of the online survey and a summary of feedback received through the various activities will be available for the public and decision-makers to review prior to adoption of the TMP. Q1: Do you have any questions about the planning process or schedule? Q2: What information do you think should be highlighted for public input? Q3: Do you have any recommendations for making the TMP materials more accessible to the public? Q4: What kind of feedback would be most helpful to get from the public? Q5: Do you have any ideas for increasing public participation? How are you able to help? Q6: Do you have any suggestions for the supplemental outreach activities? Q7: Should we hold the community open house during the summer or wait until fall? 4

13 What will the TMP look like? The TMP will be drafted with the following elements: Statement of Goals Identification of key issues for walking, bicycling, driving, and transit use in Menlo Park based on information from working paper and community input Discussion of strategies to address key issues and achieve goals Prioritized list of projects Implementation Plan How will the TMP be used? The TMP will help Public Works staff and decision makers answer these important implementation questions: What are we building? In what order? How will we fund it? 5

14 Prioritization and Implementation What are we building? In what order? 190+ Total Recommended s How will we fund it? Local Funds 124 projects are sorted into five categories based on scale and complexity. These 124 projects do not include citywide, funded, or deleted/removed projects. Categories Large Infrastructure Complex Design Complex Outreach Straightforward Regional Regional projects are not ranked but would be built in coordination with other agencies. s in these three categories are ranked according to their abilities to meet the community s goals. The highest ranked projects are prioritized as Tier 1. All other projects are Tier 2. Straightforward projects are not ranked and would be built through an annual program in the City s operating budget. Priorities Tier 1 Tier 2 Discretionary TIF/Fees Grants/ Taxes A variety of funding sources go to support the Capital Program CIP Budget 24% Streets & Sidewalks 15% Transportation The CIP Budget includes funding for all projects in the CIP including streets & sidewalks and transportation projects Implementation Plan Funding and priorities are matched. Available funding is allocated to projects according to priority and opportunity. If additional funding needs are identified, the City may pursue additional sources. Council would adopt the funding plan and priorities annually. 6

15 Background Prioritization helps the City to organize the long list of projects. By categorizing and ranking the projects, the City can focus efforts and resources on projects that best meet the goals of the TMP. The framework was developed through an iterative process including feedback from the City Council. An earlier version of the framework was included in the Strategies and Recommendations Working Paper that considered the seven criteria listed on the next page. The framework also used a numerical scoring system. However, even with this prioritization system, City staff heard feedback that the long list of projects remained difficult to navigate. The prioritization framework has since been revised to simplify the process and better align the project list with the City s five-year Capital s Program (CIP), beginning by grouping the long list of projects into five categories based on implementation timing and cost. s could then be prioritized within their categories, removing the competition for resources between projects that can be implemented quickly and those that would require more dedicated staff time, effort, and financial resources. The scoring system has also been simplified to use a qualitative scale that considers a projects overall abilitity to meet the criteria rather than a numerical system. The framework is diagrammed on page 6 and described in more detail below. Categories s were sorted into the following five categories based on their scale, complexity, and cost: Large Infrastructure s that require more design and outreach and cost more than $1 million Complex Outreach s that require more outreach due to on-street parking removal Complex Design s that require more design, but cost less than $1 million Straightforward s that are easy to implement and lower in costs Regional s where the City would not be the Lead Agency The Regional and Straightforward categories were not prioritized. Regional projects are those for which the City of Menlo Park would not be the Lead Agency, and the City would need to work collaboratively with other agencies to implement them. The Regional projects were all determined to be of great significance to achieving the goals of the TMP. The Straightforward projects would be easy to implement and lower in cost. The Straightforward projects are planned to be implemented in an annual program over a five-year time period. 7

16 Prioritization Criteria s in the Large Infrastructure, Complex Design, and Complex Outreach categories were scored based on how well they match the following criteria, which were based on the goals of the TMP and refined with input from the OOC and City Council. Safety s that improve safety and close gaps in the pedestrian and bicycle network. The safety benefit of each project was assessed based on location-specific collision history and safety countermeasures approved by the Federal Highway Administration. Congestion Management s that manage congestion and minimize cut-through traffic. These projects were evaluated based on the anticipated magnitude of benefit to residents and drivers in Menlo Park. Where data was readily available, the magnitude of benefit was estimated. Congestion management projects include roadway geometry changes, traffic signal modifications, signalization of existing unsignalized intersections, grade separation at railway crossings, and grade separation of highways and intersections. Greenhouse Gas reduction & Person Throughput s that promote fewer emissions and help to achieve the City s Climate Action Plan goals. The projects were evaluated based on the anticipated reduction in vehicle miles traveled with respect to mode shift away from single occupant vehicle trips made within Menlo Park. Transportation Sustainability s that promote the use of bicycles, pedestrian, and public transit modes. Additional consideration was given to projects that promote multiple modes and non-single occupant vehicle travel. School Nearby s that improve access and accommodate all travel modes to and from a school. s near schools were evaluated based on their relative benefit of improving access to schools in conjunction with their proximity to campuses throughout Menlo Park. Sensitive Population s located near daycares or senior centers, and within a Community of Concern, as defined by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. Green Stormwater Infrastructure s that provide ways to incorporate green stormwater infrastructure. The projects were assessed on the anticipated level of opportunity to incorporate green infrastructure when feasible into existing and new transportation infrastructure projects. 8

17 Scoring System Example Tiers Tier Safety* Congestion Management* GHG Reduction/Person Throughput* Transportation Sustainability* School Nearby* Sensitive Population Green Infrastructure After being ranked using the prioritization criteria, the 85 projects in the Large Infrastructure, Complex Design, and Complex Outreach categories were prioritized into Tier 1 and Tier 2 projects. Tier 1 Tier 1 projects are anticipated to have the greatest impact in achieving the goals of the TMP and would significantly benefit transportation network users by fully meeting at least one of the key prioritization criteria and provide a transportation network connection. 31 of the 85 projects in the Large Infrastructure, Complex Design, and Complex Outreach categories were designated as Tier 1 projects. 1 A Tier 2 1 B 2 C Tier 2 Opportunity projects are also anticipated to help achieve the goals of the TMP but do not fully meet any of the prioritization criteria. Tier 2 projects would be implemented over time and when there are opportunities to include the projects such as when a street is being repaved or an adjacent property is being developed. 54 projects in the Large Infrastructure, Complex Design, and Complex Outreach categories were designated as Tier 2 projects. 2 D Q8: Do you have any questions or concerns regarding the methodology? 2 E = Fully Met Criteria = Partially Met Criteria EMPTY = Did Not Meet Criteria *Key Criteria 9
