Minutes of Technical Advisory Committee Meeting, March 13, 2019

Minutes of the meeting of the Technical Advisory Committee held on Wednesday, Wednesday, August 14, 2019 at 2:30 p.m. in Room 1107 of the La Crosse County Administration Center, 212 6th St N, La Crosse, WI. Members Present: Loren Schwier, Bill Waller, Becky Lakowske for Ginny Loehr, Kurt Wayne, Chris Dahl, Jim Kuehn (ph), Bob Fisher, Adam Lorentz, Charlie Handy, Jarrod Holter. Members Excused: Francis Schelfhout, Ron Chamberlain, Bobbi Retzlaff, Ginny Loehr. Others Present: Michael Erickson, Steve Flottmeyer. Staff Present: Peter Fletcher, Jackie Eastwood. Peter Fletcher called the meeting at 2:30 pm. Introductions were done. 1) Approval of the Minutes of the March 13, 2019 TAC Meeting:

Jarrod Holter motioned to approve the minutes for March 13, 2019; Charlie Handy seconded. All were in favor.

2) Welcome to Peter Fletcher as the new Director of the LAPC:

Peter Fletcher welcomed everyone to the meeting and then commenced to provide some personal background on his education and past planning positions. He came to the LAPC from the Mississippi River Regional Planning Commission. He then went on to highlight some of his goals for the LAPC.

3) Recommendation to Approve Amending the 2019-2020 Planning Work Program:

Peter Fletcher referred to a document that summarized the reasons for the amendment. In response to a question by Kurt Wayne, Jackie Eastwood stated that she had corresponded with MnDOT regarding their funding and that no adjustments needed to be made. The budget changes occur only on the Wisconsin shares. Jim Kuehn stated that the money would be offered to the transportation management areas (TMAs) because they contribute a portion of their revenues to the smaller MPOs. Jarrod Holter motioned to recommend to the Policy Board to approve amending the 2019-2020 Planning Work Program; Kurt Wayne seconded. All were in favor.

4) Recommendation to Approve Amending the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement Program: Peter Fletcher highlighted the changes in the 2019-2022 TIP stating that the changes are illustrated in red and that the amendment was triggered because of two projects that were obligated a significant amount of federal funding. Jackie Eastwood added that the TIP sheets presented included the grouped projects list that she failed to include in their mailout. The full list has been on the website. She added that we are still in the 15-day public comment period and that the last opportunity for comment will occur at the Policy Board meeting on August 21. Charlie Handy motioned to recommend to the Policy Board to approve amending the 2019-2022 Transportation Improvement Program; Adam Lorentz seconded. All were in favor.

5) Surface Transportation Program-Urban: Michael Erickson from the Wisconsin Department of Transportation provided some handouts that listed the 2020-2025 program allocations and provided examples of how local projects have affected

Page 3: DATE SEPTEMBER FROM PETER FLETCHER DIRECTOR TO …€¦ · Peter Fletcher, Jackie Eastwood. Peter Fletcher called the meeting at 2:30 pm. Introductions were done. 1) Approval of the

funding and scheduling. He stated that the application materials are on the WisDOT website and that the applications needed to be turned into the MPO by the end of August.

6) Local Studies Program: Peter Fletcher stated that the LAPC would have about $92,550 available for local studies, but staff would like up to $73,500 reserved toward the LAPC share of aerial photography and for employment data both of which will be used to update the travel model. Mr. Fletcher directed a question to Jim Kuehn regarding eligibility to which Mr. Kuehn responded that the photography would be an eligible activity, but we need to prorate the County portion.

7) September agenda items: • Recommend approval of the 2020 work program activities and budget—not the full work

program • Rank STP-U projects • Recommend approval of the 2020-2023 Transportation Improvement Program

8) Other Business, Adjourn, Next meeting to be announced:

The next TAC meeting will occur on September 11. Charlie Handy motioned to adjourn at 3:20 pm; Kurt Wayne seconded. All were in favor.

STP‐U Program Project Prioritization Criteria Adopted May 18, 2011 

  Support the economic vitality of the metropolitan area, especially by enabling global 

competitiveness, productivity, and efficiency. 

Economic Development: This criterion attempts to reflect the positive impact a transportation project may have on the economic vitality of the area. 

6 Points: The project would have a high, positive impact on economic activity. 

4 Points: The project would have a moderate, positive impact on economic activity. 

2 Points: The project would have a low positive impact on economic activity. 

0 Points: The project would have no positive or would have a negative impact on economic activity. 

  Increase the safety and security of the transportation system for motorized and non‐motorized 

users. 

Safety & Security: This criterion is based on an assessment of existing safety and security problems and the extent to which the proposed project will reduce such problems. Crash statistics and standards should be used when considering roadway and bicycle/pedestrian projects, while safety aspects of passengers and employees should be considered for transit projects. Security aspects of projects may include, but not be limited to, traffic cameras, pedestrian‐scale lighting, access control, or IT infrastructure for emergency response. 

6 Points: The project would have a high positive impact on safety and security. 

4 Points: The project would have a moderate positive impact on safety and security. 

2 Points: The project would have a low positive impact on safety and security. 

0 Points: The project would have no impact on safety and security.   Increase the accessibility and mobility options available to people and to freight. 

Congestion relief: This criterion is based on an assessment of existing congestion problems and the impact a proposed project may have in reducing such problems.  

6 Points: The project would have a high positive impact on reducing congestion. Examples include projects that construct a new road, add lanes to an existing facility, or reconstruct an existing facility with accommodations for all users. These projects could include mobility options (bicycle, pedestrian, and transit) to help relieve roadway congestion. 

4 Points: The project would have a moderate positive impact on reducing congestion. Examples include projects that would provide auxiliary lanes, left‐turn bays, or park‐and‐ride lots; fill gaps in the sidewalk system; add bicycle and/or transit accommodations within the project right‐of‐way. 

Page 9: DATE SEPTEMBER FROM PETER FLETCHER DIRECTOR TO …€¦ · Peter Fletcher, Jackie Eastwood. Peter Fletcher called the meeting at 2:30 pm. Introductions were done. 1) Approval of the

Page 2 of 5 

2 Points: The project would have a low positive impact on reducing congestion. Examples include projects that address congestion through operations rather than through added capacity. 

0 Points: The project would have little to no positive impact on reducing congestion.   Mobility and accessibility options: This criterion rewards projects that improve the mobility 

and accessibility of users within the transportation system through improved connections and design. Projects that fill critical gaps in the system, remove barriers, or improve the geometrics of intersections to accommodate vehicle turning movements would receive points under this criterion. 

6 Points:  The project would complete critical connections, remove barriers, provide intersection improvements, or enhance the grid system. 

4 Points:  The project would moderately improve the mobility and accessibility of system users. These projects would include infrastructure improvements to intersections to accommodate users. 

2 Points:  The project would only slightly improve the mobility and accessibility of system users. 

0 Points:  The project would have no positive impact on improving mobility and accessibility.   Key component of transportation system: This criterion gives weight to projects according to 

their overall relationship with the rest of the transportation system.  

6 Points: The project would have a high, positive impact on the overall transportation system (i.e. projects that occur on principal arterials or that provide a critical link in the transportation system). 

4 Points: The project would have a moderate, positive impact on the overall transportation system (i.e. projects that occur on minor arterials). 

2 Points: The project would have a low, positive impact on the overall transportation system. 

0 Points: The project would have little to no positive impact on the overall transportation system. 

  Promotes implementation of local/regional land use plans: This criterion is an indicator of how 

well the transportation project promotes the implementation of adopted local and regional land use and transportation plans, and how the project affects the region as a whole. 

6 Points: The project implements recommendations of adopted plans and improves the transportation system of the region as a whole. 

4 Points: The project helps promote adopted plans and improves the transportation system of more than one municipality. 

2 Points: The project is consistent with adopted plans. 

0 Points: The project has little to no relationship to adopted plans.

Page 3 of 5 

Multimodalism: This criterion rewards projects that accommodate more than one mode of travel. 

6 Points: The project accommodates more than three modes of travel. 

4 Points: The project accommodates only three modes of travel. 

2 points: The project accommodates only two modes of travel. 

0 Points: The project accommodates only motor vehicles.          Protect and enhance the environment, promote energy conservation, and improve quality of life.   Impacts on the natural environment: This criterion rewards projects that enhance or have 

minimal negative impact on, for example, the region’s farmland, forestland, bluffs, wetlands, or rivers. 

6 Points: The project would enhance or have no negative impact the region’s natural environment. 

4 Points: The project would have minimal negative impact on the region’s natural environment. 

2 Points: The project would have some mitigable negative impact on the region’s natural environment. 

0 Points: The project would have significant negative impact on the region’s natural environment. 

  Energy Conservation: This criterion credits those projects that promote a shift from the single‐

occupancy vehicle (SOV) to other modes such as transit, pedestrian, and bicycle, or to carpooling. 

6 Points: The project would directly reduce SOVs (i.e. high‐occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes, most projects that enhance transit service, bicycle/pedestrian projects that are commuter‐oriented). 

4 Points: The project would indirectly reduce SOVs. 

2 points: The project would have low impact on reducing SOVs. 

0 Points: The project would have no impact on reducing SOVs.  

Social and community effects: This criterion assesses the impact a project has on the social, community, or human environment.  

6 Points: The project would enhance neighborhoods or community livability to a high degree. 

4 Points: The project would enhance neighborhoods or community livability to a moderate degree. 

2 Points: The project would enhance neighborhoods or community livability to a low degree. 

0 Points: The project would not enhance neighborhoods or community livability.

Enhance the integration and connectivity of the transportation system, across and between modes, for people and freight. 

Intermodal/multimodal connectivity: This criterion credits projects that provide for an interconnection with other modes (transfer points). An intermodal project that provides connections to truck, rail, and barge, for example, would be considered a three‐mode transfer point. 

6 points: The project provides a transfer point (or points) for three or more modes. 

4 Points: The project provides a transfer point (or points) for two modes. 

2 Points: The project that provides a transfer point (or points) for one mode. 

0 Points: The project that accommodates only one transportation mode.   Promote efficient system management and operation. 

Supports efficient land use patterns: This criterion rewards those projects that promote an increase in density (population and/or employment), serve areas of mixed land uses, and reduce auto dependency. 

6 Points: The project meets all three criteria (density, mixed use, and auto dependency). 

4 Points: The project meets two of the criteria. 

2 points: The project meets only one criterion. 

0 Points: The project meets none of the criteria.  

Cost effectiveness: This criterion reflects the degree of use each mode is expected to attain as a result of a candidate project compared to the costs of the project (i.e. number of bus riders attracted per day). Using an estimated cost of the project, a measure of the project’s cost‐per‐user may be calculated to provide a point of comparison among the projects. 

6 Points: The project is highly cost effective. 

4 Points: The project is moderately cost effective. 

2 Points: The project is not very cost effective. 

0 Points: The project is not at all cost effective.

This is a main corridor into and out of Holmen. The current roadway is narrow and the traffic volumes high. It goes

through a residential area that includes an elementary school. The proposed improvement will provide for safe

pedestrain and bicycle accomodations that do not exist today. The widening of the driving lanes will provide for safer

operation of motor vehicles and the improved pavement structure will facilitate freight in a manner that allows the

COunty to avoid even seasonal weight limit postings.

Key Program Requirements Confirmation

Please confirm your understanding of the following project conditions by typing your name, title and initials in the boxes at the bottom of this page. A Head of Government/Designee with fiscal authority for the project sponsor, not a consultant, must initial below AND sign the next page of this application.

a. All Federal Funding will be limited at the estimate amount unless an increase is approved by WisDOT. Additional costs incurred over the limit will be 100% the responsibility of the project sponsor.

b. A federally funded design project must be tied to a construction project. Stand alone design projects are no longer eligible for funding (this does not apply to MPO area projects).

c. Only new projects may apply, existing projects are ineligible for additional funds through the new cycle process. Existing projects requiring additional funds are encouraged to use the existing Project Change and Cost Increase processes.

c. Federally-funded projects must be designed in accordance with all applicable federal design standards (even if the design for a federally-funded project was 100% locally funded).

d. The sponsor must provide matching dollar funding of at least 20% of project costs.

e. The sponsor must not incur costs for any phase of the project until that phase has been authorized for federal charges and the WisDOT Region has notified the sponsor that it can begin incurring costs. Otherwise, the sponsor risks incurring costs that will not be eligible for federal funding.

f. As the work progresses, the state will bill the project sponsor for work completed which is not chargeable to federal/state funds. Upon completion of the project, a final audit will be made to determine the final division of costs. If reviews or audits show any of the work to be ineligible for federal funding, the project sponsor will be responsible for any withdrawn costs associated with the ineligible work.

g. The project sponsor will pay to the state all costs incurred by the state in connection with the improvement that exceed federal financing commitments or are ineligible for federal financing. In order to guarantee the project sponsor’s foregoing agreements to pay the state, the project sponsor, through its duly authorized officers or officials, agrees and authorizes the state to set off and withhold the required reimbursement amount as determined by the state from any moneys otherwise due and payable by the state to the municipality.

h. If the project sponsor should withdraw the project, it will reimburse the state for any costs incurred by the state on behalf of the project.

i. For 100% locally funded design projects, costs for design plan development and state review for design are 100% the responsibility of the local project sponsor. Project sponsors may not seek federal funding for only state review for design projects.

j. The sponsor agrees to state delivery and oversight costs by WisDOT staff and their agents. These costs include review of design and construction documents for compliance with federal and state requirements, appropriate design standards, and other related review. These costs will vary with the size and complexity of the project. The sponsor agrees to add these costs to the project under the same 80% federal and 20% local match requirements.

k. Transportation construction projects using federal funds except sidewalks, are likely general improvements that primarily benefit the public at large and for which special assessments cannot be levied under s. 66.0703, Wis. Stats. Municipalities desiring to obtain the required local project funding through special assessments levied against particular parcels should seek advice of legal counsel. See Hildebrand v. Menasha, 2011 WI App 83.

Key Program Requirements Confirmation

Please confirm your understanding of the following project conditions by typing your name, title and initials in the boxes at the bottom of this page. A Head of Government/Designee with fiscal authority for the project sponsor, not a consultant, must initial below AND sign the next page of this application.

a. All Federal Funding will be limited at the estimate amount unless an increase is approved by WisDOT. Additional costs incurred over the limit will be 100% the responsibility of the project sponsor.

b. A federally funded design project must be tied to a construction project. Stand alone design projects are no longer eligible for funding (this does not apply to MPO area projects).

c. Only new projects may apply, existing projects are ineligible for additional funds through the new cycle process. Existing projects requiring additional funds are encouraged to use the existing Project Change and Cost Increase processes.

c. Federally-funded projects must be designed in accordance with all applicable federal design standards (even if the design for a federally-funded project was 100% locally funded).

d. The sponsor must provide matching dollar funding of at least 20% of project costs.

e. The sponsor must not incur costs for any phase of the project until that phase has been authorized for federal charges and the WisDOT Region has notified the sponsor that it can begin incurring costs. Otherwise, the sponsor risks incurring costs that will not be eligible for federal funding.

f. As the work progresses, the state will bill the project sponsor for work completed which is not chargeable to federal/state funds. Upon completion of the project, a final audit will be made to determine the final division of costs. If reviews or audits show any of the work to be ineligible for federal funding, the project sponsor will be responsible for any withdrawn costs associated with the ineligible work.

g. The project sponsor will pay to the state all costs incurred by the state in connection with the improvement that exceed federal financing commitments or are ineligible for federal financing. In order to guarantee the project sponsor’s foregoing agreements to pay the state, the project sponsor, through its duly authorized officers or officials, agrees and authorizes the state to set off and withhold the required reimbursement amount as determined by the state from any moneys otherwise due and payable by the state to the municipality.

h. If the project sponsor should withdraw the project, it will reimburse the state for any costs incurred by the state on behalf of the project.

i. For 100% locally funded design projects, costs for design plan development and state review for design are 100% the responsibility of the local project sponsor. Project sponsors may not seek federal funding for only state review for design projects.

j. The sponsor agrees to state delivery and oversight costs by WisDOT staff and their agents. These costs include review of design and construction documents for compliance with federal and state requirements, appropriate design standards, and other related review. These costs will vary with the size and complexity of the project. The sponsor agrees to add these costs to the project under the same 80% federal and 20% local match requirements.

k. Transportation construction projects using federal funds except sidewalks, are likely general improvements that primarily benefit the public at large and for which special assessments cannot be levied under s. 66.0703, Wis. Stats. Municipalities desiring to obtain the required local project funding through special assessments levied against particular parcels should seek advice of legal counsel. See Hildebrand v. Menasha, 2011 WI App 83.
