Membership to the KATS Citizen Advisory Committee was renewed for 3 members.

CITIZENS’ COMMENTS

No citizen comments were made.

FY 2017 – 2020 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM AMENDMENTS

Proposed amendments to the FY 2017-2020 Transportation Improvement Program were included in the meeting materials. The proposed amendments follow the meeting minutes.

Start reported that the amendments were for RCKC and MDOT projects. The US-131 Project over Amtrak and KL Avenue is to change the project scope from bridge restore and rehabilitate to bridge replacement. Baker thanked MDOT on behalf of Oshtemo Township for coordinating the US-131 Project to accommodate the necessary space for a bike path for the KL Avenue Project from 11th Street to Drake Road.

Minkus reported that in 2017 the RCKC had a project to widen N Avenue east of Sprinkle to 3 lanes. The proposed amendment for E N Avenue Project at Grand Trunk Western Railroad will install new gates further back. The RCKC plans to extend the 3 lane section.

Stepek reported that there were state funded projects which were not included in the proposed amendments. The first is for the installation of a new traffic signal near Bell’s Brewery. The second is for a minor rail project.

MOTION by Stefforia, SECOND by Minkus, “to recommend Policy Committee approval of the proposed amendments to the FY 2017-2020 Transportation Improvement Program.” MOTION APPROVED.

MDOT SAFETY PERFORMANCE MEASURE RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT

A copy of the Resolution of Support for MDOT Safety Performance Measures was included in the meeting materials. Start reported that the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act legislation requires that performance measures be incorporated into the transportation planning process. States are to establish performance measure targets and the Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) are to either establish its own targets or adopt those of the state. Start reported that MDOT has adopted its 2018 Safety Performance Measure Targets. State targets are based on five-year rolling averages. He reported that the targets for fatalities and nonmotorized fatalities and serious injuries reflect the upward trend in these crashes since setting a decrease in fatalities is not attainable if the trend is an increase. He emphasized that the goal of MDOT and KATS is still to reduce fatal and severe injury crashes. Dewey reported that KATS would have the opportunity to reassess the targets for Safety Performance Measures next year and that every MPO in the State of Michigan is adopting the State targets. Stefforia asked if other MPOs had added language to the Resolution of Support to indicate that the goal was zero fatalities even though the State and MPOs are adopting targets that are increasing and voiced concerns with adopting the resolution without language indicating how the MPO is addressing its safety goals. She asked what would happen if the state fails to meet it targets. Start replied that if the State fails to meet its targets, it will be required to spend all federal safety funding on safety projects. Latham reported that this is already done in the State of Michigan. There is no penalty to KATS if the State fails to meet its targets. If KATS adopted its own targets, it would be held accountable. Members discussed potential safety studies, safety data analysis, MDOT Safety Audits and MDOT evaluation of high crash intersections, as well as factors other than road design and engineering which are factors in crashes such as distracted driving and the need for safety education. Minkus commented that the targets are based on the 5 year rolling averages and that KATS has to have a goal that isn’t based on history. Baker noted that this was what the resolution was lacking, an explanation that the targets are what is expected based on a statistical trend and not what the MPO wants to happen. Latham indicated that the Metropolitan Transportation Plan addresses KATS safety goals. Chair Forth tabled discussion and action on the MDOT Safety Performance Measure Resolution of Support so that an amendment regarding the safety goals of KATS could be prepared. NATIONAL FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM CHANGE REQUEST A copy of the proposed changes to the National Functional Classification (NFC) System was included in the meeting materials. Start reported that the RCKC had an in-depth evaluation its road system and developed recommended changes to the National Function Classification System as a result. KATS staff evaluated the RCKC proposed changes to the NFC.

Stepek indicated that KATS agreed with the recommendations of RCKC except for one recommendation. Additional changes can be proposed at a later date if traffic volumes change. Minkus noted that the RCKC supported this decision. Stefforia observed that the bullet summary was incorrect. Discussion followed on the proposed changes to the NFC. Minkus requested that since the bullet list was incorrect, the motion be made based upon the recommendations contained within the report. MOTION by Hummel, SECOND by Bittner, “to recommend Policy Committee approval of the recommended changes to the National Functional Classification System.” MOTION APPROVED. TECHNICAL COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP ATTENDANCE A copy of 2017 Technical Committee Attendance was included in the meeting materials. Start reported that Technical Committee Bylaws require that members miss no more than 3 meetings to maintain voting membership. Voting is restored once the member attends 3 consecutive meetings. Start requested that members review their listed Technical Committee PROJECT MAP Start reported that Arndt has been working on a Project Map of projects included in the Transportation Improvement Program and Capital Improvement Programs for current and future projects. The Road Commission of Kalamazoo County and Kalamazoo County Planning and Development will be developing a map which will use KATS layer and incorporate utility projects. Arndt presented on the Project Map. The purpose of the map is to assist in project coordination and scheduling. Stepek requested that members for feedback on whether there was additional project information they would like included. MDOT SAFETY PERFORMANCE MEASURE RESOLUTION OF SUPPORT Chair Forth asked members to return to the MDOT Safety and Performance Measure Resolution of Support. Latham suggested the following language based upon Goal 1 of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan: WHEREAS, the Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan, Goal 1 is to Improve the Safety and Security of the Transportation System and:

Provide a surface transportation system that is safe through best engineering practices. Include appropriate methods to enhance the security of the surface transportation system. Encourage educational efforts to improve motorized and Non-Motorized user behavior and the

joint use of the transportation system. Stefforia suggested the new section be added as the 3rd item on the Resolution of Support. MOTION by Stefforia, SECOND by Deisler, “to adopt the Resolution Supporting State Safety Targets for Calendar Year 2018 as amended.” MOTION APPROVED. PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION UPDATES Vice-chair Schultz reported that as of January 1 Metro Transit has switched its name to Metro. The roll-out will take place over a period of time and will include new bus wraps, new logos and signage. Metro has added new hours of service on 11 routes to 6:00 p.m. More information is on Metro’s website at www.kmetro.com. Metro is working with the City of Kalamazoo on bus stop improvements in core

neighborhoods. The Central County Transportation Authority and the Kalamazoo County Transportation Authority will be meeting on Monday. STATUS REPORTS ROAD STATUS REPORTS City of Kalamazoo: The Pitcher Street project from E. Michigan Avenue to Kalamazoo Avenue and the West Michigan Avenue and Howard Street traffic signal project are in the February letting. The Vine Street project from Davis to Westnedge came in approximately 5% under estimate. City of Portage: The S. Westnedge Avenue project from Romence Road to Mall Drive is in the March letting. The W. Centre Avenue project will be in the April letting. The Oakland Drive at Vanderbilt Avenue project and the Portage Road at Lakeview Drive project are targeted for the May letting. Milham Avenue is expected to be closed for railroad work in May. Road Commission of Kalamazoo County (RCKC):

Work on the draft Capital Improvement Program is wrapping up. A second public hearing will be held regarding zoning ordinances on January 18 at 7:00 p.m.

NEW BUSINESS Start reported that the Transportation Asset Management Council (TAMC) has changed how local agencies will apply and receive funding for reimbursements for PASER data collection on local roads. This process will now be handled by the Metropolitan Planning Organizations and Regional Planning Organizations. KATS has received a small amount of additional funding for this purpose. Proposals and estimates were requested from local agencies interested in the program. The priority for asset management funding will be required PASER data collection on federal-aid roads. Stefforia reported a group of local elected officials and staff members established the Kalamazoo Region Bike Route Committee to implement the proposed routes contained on Map 7 of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Discussion followed on concerns with the impact of the RCKC Sign Policy update on the Kalamazoo Region Bike Route. It was noted that the authority for signs in the right of way on RCKC roads is under the authority of the Board of Road Commissioners of the County of Kalamazoo. Members with concerns were asked to submit comments to the RCKC staff, the Road Commissioners of the County of Kalamazoo, or attend the next public meeting regarding the policy. The Sign Policy update is a potential action item at the Board of Road Commissioners January 23 meeting. Stepek reported that a Transportation Improvement Program Project Prioritization Process Subcommittee Meeting would follow the Technical Committee Meeting.

PROPOSED NFC REVISIONS

The Kalamazoo Area Transportation Study

5220 Lovers Lane, Suite 110 Portage, MI 49002

(269) 343-0766

February 2018

What is NFC? National Functional Classification (NFC) is a federal grouping system for public roads. The state coordinates a statewide review of the entire NFC system with the responsible public road agency officials. All NFC designations must have Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) approval. There are NFC individual revisions and the NFC statewide review. Individual revisions are usually initiated by the local agency between statewide reviews and are for a specific route. The statewide review invites all appropriate agencies to participated and review all their NFC values. Functional Classification Review Process As stated from the Michigan Department of Transportation Begin the review of NFC by studying the current NFC map for the local area. Be aware of changes that have occurred since the last NFC statewide review and how those changes have affected traffic. If changes are significant, the functional classification may need to be modified. After initial review, follow the process steps for a NFC re-classification.

1. Appropriate officials should review all the sent materials plus the new FHWA Highway Functional Classification guidance. MPO’s will work within their structure to contact and invite all appropriate agencies.

2. Contact the RPA or MPO to attend a group meeting at an MDOT region or Transportation Service Center (TSC) office with the MDOT NFC coordinator.

3. Determine major changes that occurred in the last 10 years that can affect the function of the roads and mark where and what they are on the map. Select routes that are improperly classified to discuss with the MDOT NFC coordinator.

4. Clearly highlight the proposed NFC route revision(s) on the map. Mark each NFC proposal with a “Map ID” of your choosing to correspond with the “Map ID” in the NFC worksheet. For MPO’s, it is recommended to create a separate proposal package for any proposed Other Principal Arterials and NHS revisions. Send a copy to MDOT.

5. Fill out a NFC worksheet for each NFC route revision request that is reference by the “Map ID” you created and identified on the map.

6. For each proposed functional classification revision upgrade, if the State of Michigan’s Non-Trunkline Federal-Aid (NFTA) count is unknown or from a traffic count collection year prior to 2013, supply electronic MI-Format traffic counts by email to MDOT-NFC@michigan.gov.

7. The mailed “package” of proposal materials supplied to MDOT will include a letter from the responsible local official. The letter includes a list of proposed NFC changes adopted through the local and MPO process. The list will reference the maps and worksheets. Proposed routes should be listed with full street names, to and from descriptions, current NFC, proposed NFC, and length (miles). There is a check box option on the worksheet if there are no changes; this is to show that the system has been reviewed.

Identifying the Functional Classification of a Roadway Network A primary objective of the functional classification system is to connect traffic generators with a roadway network that channelized trips logically and efficiently. When developing a functional classification network in a given area, the same basic procedures should be followed, whether the functional classification is applied in a rural or an urban area. These procedures do not eliminate

judgement from the classification process, but when used as a guide, they help to apply judgment in a sound and orderly fashion.

1. Identify traffic generators. In rural areas, traffic generators may be population centers; recreation areas, consolidated schools, and shipping points. In urban areas, traffic generators may be business districts; air, rail, bus and truck terminals; regional shopping centers; colleges and universities; hospital complexes; military bases; industrial and commercial centers; stadiums; fairgrounds; and parks. Regional traffic generators adjacent, but outside of the area of interest, should also be identified.

2. Rank traffic generators. Traffic generators should be categorized based on their relative ability to generate trips and be first stratified into urban and rural groupings. Traffic generates thought to be significant enough to be served by a Major Collector or higher should be categorized into five to eight groups. Traffic generators with similar significance should be placed in the same group. These groups will be used to identify the functional classification of connecting roadways. Population, sales tax receipts, retail trade, visitation and employment are some examples of factors to consider when ranking traffic generations according to their significance.

3. Map traffic generators. Traffic generators should be mapped using graduated symbols of varying sizes and/or colors according to the group to which the generator belongs. This will produce a visual representation of the ranking. For example, the group of generators ranked highest should all be symbolized with the largest symbol.

4. Determine the appropriate functional classification to connect traffic generators. To determine the functional classification of roadways, work from the highest mobility facilities first by identifying Interstates, Other Freeways & Expressways, Other Principal Arterials, then Minor Arterials and Collectors (Major, then Minor). Then, by definition, Local Roads will be all of the roadways that were not classified as Arterials or Collectors. In other words, begin with a wide, regional perspective to identify Principal Arterials, then gradually move to smaller, more localized perspectives as Minor Arterials, Major Collectors and Minor Collectors are identified. In this process, consider the size of the traffic generators connected and the predominant travel distances and “travel shed” served.

Proposed NFC Revisions 8th Street from KL Avenue to M-43 (Location #1 on the map). This section of 8th Street is located in urban Oshtemo Township and is currently categorized as a Major Collector with an average daily traffic count of 2,833. 9th Street carries the majority of the north/south traffic between KL Avenue and M-43 and has a higher priority on the NFC as a principal arterial. Also, 8th Street is restricted for use by trucks by Oshtemo Charter Township Ordinance No. 478/519. RCKC recommends changing 8th Street from NFC Major Collector to Local Road designation. KATS Recommendation KATS agrees with the recommendation made by RCKC. U Avenue from Portage Road to 23rd Street, 23rd Street from U Avenue to TU Avenue, TU Avenue from 23rd Street to Sprinkle Road (Location #2 on the map). The section of U Avenue from Portage Road to 23rd Street is located in urban Schoolcraft Township and is currently categorized as a Local Road with an average daily traffic count of 2,394. The section of 23rd Street from U Avenue to TU Avenue is located in urban Schoolcraft Township and is currently categorized as a Local Road with an average daily traffic count of 1,492. The section of TU Avenue from 23rd Street to Sprinkle Road is located in urban Schoolcraft Township and Brady Township and is

currently categorized as a Local Road with an average daily traffic count of 2,151. The connectivity of the county primary road and the NFC is lacking the recommended spacing in this urban area. ADT counts for this area warrant change. RCKC recommends changing U Avenue, 23rd Street, and TU Avenue from NFC Local Road to Urban Minor Collector designations. KATS Recommendation KATS agrees with the recommendation by RCKC. 26th Street from UV Avenue to TU Avenue, UV Avenue from 26th Street to 29th Street (Location #3 on the map). The section of 26th Street from UV Avenue to TU Avenue is located in urban Brady Township and is currently categorized as a Major Collector with an average daily traffic count of 2,000. The Section of UV Avenue from 26th Street to 29th Street is located in urban Brady Township and is currently categorized as a Major Collector with an average daily traffic count of 1,163. RCKC recommends changing UV Avenue and 26th Street from NFC Major Collectors to Local Road designations. KATS Recommendation KATS agrees with the recommendation by RCKC. Park Circle Drive from Sprinkle Road to M Avenue, Old Cork Street 750’ West of Park Circle Drive (Location #5 on the map). The section of Park Circle Drive from Sprinkle Road to M Avenue is located in urban Comstock Township and is currently categorized as a Local Road with an average daily traffic count of 1,368. The section of Old Cork Street from 750 feet west of Park Circle Drive is located in urban Comstock Township and is currently categorized as a Major Collector with an average daily traffic count of 2,703. RCKC Recommends changing Park Circle Drive from a NFC Local Road to Urban Minor Collector and changing Old Cork Street from a Major Collector to Local Road designation. KATS Recommendation KATS agrees with the recommendation by RCKC.
