301 Datura Street, West Palm Beach, FL 33401 │ 561.725.0800 │ PalmBeachTPA.org 1 2. ACTION ITEMS A. MOTION TO ADOPT a Resolution approving Amendment #1 to the TPA’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) The TPA adopted the 2045 LRTP on December 12, 2019 following approval of several motions to direct staff to add or remove specific road construction projects from the draft LRTP. One such motion removed the following two projects from the draft LRTP: • TPA013: Widening of SR 7 from 2 to 4 lanes from Okeechobee Boulevard to 60th Street in FY 20-24 at a cost of $20M, and • TPA014: Construction of the SR 7 extension as a new 4-lane roadway from 60th Street to Northlake Boulevard in FY 20-24 at a cost of $53M. Later in the meeting, a TPA board member directed staff to bring a draft LRTP amendment to the TPA advisory committees and Board in February to consider inclusion of these projects in the LRTP. Following the meeting, another TPA board member requested reconsideration of the removal of these projects from the LRTP. To facilitate these requests, TPA staff have attached: 1. A draft resolution to amend the LRTP to include these two projects, including an exhibit highlighting modifications to the adopted 2045 LRTP. 2. A draft FDOT presentation explaining the purpose and need for the projects, their history, and the impact of approving the LRTP amendment. 3. A draft City of West Palm Beach presentation identifying concerns with the projects. 4. Correspondence received from stakeholders expressing support for the projects. 5. A listing of public comments received through Feb. 12 related to the projects. Additional information about the SR 7 projects, including traffic studies, public comments received after Feb. 12, and environmental analysis, is available at www.PalmBeachTPA.org/SR7 TAC: Recommended adoption 18-3 with Representatives from the City of West Palm Beach and Town of Jupiter dissenting. CAC: Recommended adoption 9-3 with Representatives from the cities of Boca Raton, Boynton Beach and West Palm Beach dissenting. BTPAC: Recommended adoption 9-5 with a request to modify bicycle facilities using updated FDOT design standards to support users of all ages and abilities. Representatives from the cities of Boca Raton, Boynton Beach, West Palm Beach, School District of Palm Beach County and the Disabled Community dissented. A roll call vote is required. B. MOTION TO ADOPT a Resolution approving the 2020 Safety Targets Pursuant Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) performance measure implementation requirements, the TPA is required to establish 2020 Safety Targets by February 27, 2020. For the past two years, the TPA Board has adopted the State’s safety targets of zero (0) traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries. TPA staff recommends continuing the adoption of the targets of zero (0). TPA staff will present the attached Palm Beach County crash data for calendar years 2012-2019 and 5-year averages for all 27 Florida MPOs for calendar years 2009 to 2018. The draft Resolution is also attached. TAC/CAC: Recommended adoption unanimously. BTPAC: Recommended adoption 13-1 with the Representative from the City of West Palm Beach dissenting. TPA Governing Board Agenda Page 2 2 C. MOTION TO ADOPT a Resolution opposing HB 1371/SB 1000 requiring all mid-block crossings to be signalized or eliminated HB 1371 and SB 1000 proposes to require signalization or removal of any public highway crosswalk which is located at any point other than at intersection with another public highway. Palm Beach County has nearly 700 crosswalks on the federal aid eligible roadway network alone. Adoption of this legislation will inhibit pedestrian and bicycle mobility, promote higher vehicle speeds, and ultimately compromise safety for our vulnerable roadway users. The draft resolution is attached along with a map of all unsignalized crossings on the federal aid network. 3. INFORMATION ITEMS A. Vision Zero Action Plan Report On April 18, 2019, the TPA adopted a Vision Zero Action Plan including 25 actions that seek to influence policy, funding and culture to improve safety for all users of our transportation system. The TPA Board also directed staff to report progress annually each February to coincide with safety target selection. TPA staff will highlight elements of the attached progress report for activities undertaken in 2019. B. I-95 at Glades Road FDOT project manager and consultants will present on the Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) concept for the I-95 at Glades Road interchange. There is no backup for this item. C. Florida Bicycle Month TPA staff will provide an update on Florida Bicycle Month activities in March and encourage municipalities to do a Florida Bicycle Month Proclamation to celebrate and support bicycling in their community. A sample proclamation is attached and also available along with a calendar of events at www.BikePalmBeach.org. D. Public Participation Plan (PPP) Annual Report Card The TPA Board adopted the PPP in October 2017 and directed staff to report annually on the effectiveness of the various participation strategies. TPA staff will review the attached 2019 PPP Annual Report Card. E. Partner Agency Updates Agency staff from Palm Tran, SFRTA/Tri-Rail, FDOT and/or Palm Beach County Engineering may provide brief updates on items relevant to the TPA. 4. ADMINISTRATIVE ITEMS A. Correspondence 1. Letter from FHWA and FTA regarding the TPA’s adoption of the 2045 LRTP and confirming the TPA can resume processing Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) amendments and FHWA and FTA will resume approving State TIP amendments for TPA projects. B. Special TPA Reports 1. Subsidy Award Report for Palm Beach County League of Cities 50th Annual Tri-Cities Barbeque C. Routine TPA Reports 1. Public Involvement Activity Report for December

VERY IMPORTANT: All eligible plans of a Participating Employer are considered to be a single plan for purposes of compliance with Code Section 457(b). Thus, if is a Participating Employer has more than one eligible plan (or additional investment options under a 457(b) arrangement with more than one vendor), the Participating Employer is responsible for ensuring that all of its arrangements, treated as a single plan, comply with the 457(b) requirements, including but not limited to, the requirements listed below.

• Compliance with the requirement to distribute excess deferrals (an excess deferral means the amount of deferrals for a calendar year that is more than the basic limit, the age 50 catch-up limit, and the special 457 catch-up limit).

Proposed Location – SR 7 Project

• Southern Segment - Widening SR 7 to 4 lanes between Okeechobee Blvd. and 60th Street. • Northern Segment - 4-lane extension of SR 7 between 60th Street and Northlake Blvd.

SR 7 Project Timeline

• 2015 - FDOT sought Environmental Resource Permit (ERP) from South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to construct/operate SR 7 Project • 2016-17 - SFWMD proposed to issue ERP, City challenged ERP, ALJ recommended issuance, Final Order approved ERP & City appealed to 4th DCA • 2018-19 – 4th DCA overturned SFWMD Final Order and ordered a new hearing, case was transferred to DOAH & hearing scheduled for August 2019 • June 2019 – FDOT modified SR 7 Project & FDOT learned through discovery project was not permittable • July 2019 – FDOT withdraws SR 7 ERP application to avoid a loss at the new hearing • July 2019-January 2020 – FDOT is modifying road design to come up with permittable project • December 2019 – Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (PBTPA) votes to remove SR 7 Project from the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) • February 20, 2020 – PBTPA Governing Board scheduled to consider amendment to add back the SR 7 Project 4 DRAFT

Impacts of SR 7 Project

• Adverse Water Quality Impacts to Grassy Waters Preserve • Roadway Spill Risk • Floodplain Encroachment • Flooding in Ibis Development From Road • Faulty Bridge Design • Wetland Impacts • Threatened and Endangered Species Impacts • Impacts Cannot Be Mitigated

Nutrient Impacts of SR 7

SR 7 Stormwater runoff discharges to Ibis and then Grassy Water Preserve

6 DRAFT

55 2/12/2020

Nutrient Impacts of SR 7

• Phosphorus levels increase by 88% and nitrogen levels increase by 42% in stormwater discharge to GWP • Water quality modeling and observations confirm violation of narrative nutrient water quality standard in GWP

Hazardous Spill Threat

• A 500-gallon spill of a hazardous chemical, such as dry-cleaning fluid (PCE) (600 times greater than the concentration triggering a cleanup response) into the M-Canal would reach Control 4 in 16 hours • Hazardous chemicals passing Control 4 would potentially shutdown of the City’s water treatment facility • Notification by emergency responders to the City can take more than 16 hours • Potential contamination throughout the regional system

8 DRAFT

56 2/12/2020

SR 7 Floodplain Encroachment

SR 7 Causes Ibis Development Flooding • High flow rates from SR 7 into Ibis will cause home and road flooding under 25- year and 100-year storm events • SR 7 discharges will prevent emergency response access to Ibis under extreme storm events • Extremely high flow rates will damage treatment ponds and canals within Ibis • Extremely high flow rates will exceed Ibis pump capacities 10 DRAFT

57 2/12/2020

SR 7 Faulty Bridge Design

• Design of bridge over Ibis spillway causes backwater effect Approximate • Water backing up into Location of Ibis preserve Spillway Bridge • Risk of flooding

SR 7 Wetland Impacts

• Direct impacts will destroy 58 acres of wetland and secondary impacts will harm 119 acres of wetlands in and around Grassy Waters Preserve

• Other than the Grassy Waters Ecosystem, which includes the Ibis Preserve, no other oligotrophic wetlands comparable to the historic Everglades exist within the Eastern Palm Beach County Basin. 12 DRAFT

58 2/12/2020

Inadequate Wetland Impact Mitigation

• SR 7 Right-of-Way was originally split between FDOT and Palm Beach County • This allowed use of County Pine Glades Mitigation Area to mitigate impacts associated with its part of the right-of-way • FDOT proposed to use Dupuis Reserve as mitigation for its part of the right-of-way • In April 2018 County transferred its right-of- way to FDOT • County no longer has any real estate interest in roadway

Inadequate Wetland Impact Mitigation

• As a result of 2018 right-of-way transfer, SR 7 is no longer a County Project • Pine Glades can only be used to mitigate impacts from County projects • Pine Glades is no longer a viable mitigation area for SR 7 • 42.70 wetland units, totaling over 159 acres of direct and secondary wetland impacts are now unmitigated • No new mitigation has been identified

14 DRAFT

59 2/12/2020

Impact to Endangered Snail Kite

The Everglades Snail Kite is listed by both the State of Florida and the federal government as an endangered species. Snail kites continue to thrive in the Grassy Waters Ecosystem due to the protection and management of the preserve by the City of West Palm Beach.

The SR7 project, as proposed, will adversely impact water quality, wetlands and snail kites.

All photos taken within Grassy Waters Preserve

Unknown Costs of SR 7 Project

FDOT’s estimated construction costs of $50M to extend SR 7 from 60th St. to Northlake Blvd. do not take required changes to the SR 7 into account Costs not taken into account: • Redesign and elevation of bridges and road • Redesign to address floodplain and compensation • Redirecting and managing stormwater in another location • Cost of new wetland impact mitigation

16 DRAFT

60 2/12/2020

Unknown New Stormwater Destination

If Ibis Development is Not Available, Where Will the Stormwater Go?

What Will the True Cost of SR 7 Be?

FDOT has not updated its cost estimates to account for necessary changes to SR 7 – FDOT Still estimates $50 Million for 60th St. to Northlake Blvd.

Updated estimates accounting for needed changes show estimated costs of $117 Million or more

18 DRAFT

61 2/12/2020

No Need for SR 7 Project • Need determination for SR 7 was based on traffic analyses performed in 2006 • Since then, new development has moved to the west, and new road projects have followed • Other County road extension and expansion projects address new traffic • Over 80 new County road projects were approved as part of the 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan • Increased traffic capacity from other new roads makes SR 7 project unnecessary

SR 7 Should Not Be Added to the LRTP

• SR 7 Project will impact environment and public health and safety • Nutrient Impacts to Grassy Waters Preserve • Roadway Spill Risk • Floodplain Encroachment • Flooding in Ibis Development • Faulty Bridge Design • Harm to wetlands • Harm to endangered snail kite • Lack of mitigation

• No need for SR 7 given changes in development and numerous new proposed roads

• No information on how SR 7 issues could be addressed or how much it might cost to address them

• Updated analysis of traffic need and SR 7 costs must be conducted and evaluated 20 DRAFT

1002 The Capitol 402 South Monroe Street On December 12, 2019, The Palm Beach Transportation Authority removed the State Road 7 Tallahassee, FL 32399 extension from the Long Range Transportation Plan. This decision significantly affects the Phone : (850)7 17-5086 western communities of Palm Beach County. In particular, this decision has a crucial impact on District 86, which includes Wellington, Royal Palm Beach, Loxahatchee Groves, Haverhill, STAFF; sections of Greenacres, and unincorporated parts of West Palm Beach.

Thomas J. Valeo Legislative Assistant It is fair to note that a 9-8 vote approved the removal of the State Road 7 extension from 60th St. to Northlake Blvd, and four members were recorded as being absent from the meeting. As Melissa Santoro District Aide such, I respectfully ask for your consideration in bringing forth an amendment at your next meeting that will amend the Long Range Transportation Plan to include the State Road 7 Extension Project. COMMITTEE MEMBERSHIP: February 20, 2020, is the Palm Beach TPA's next scheduled meeting. I hope to hear from you Rules Committee before this meeting regarding this request to bring the SR 7 extension project back into the Commerce Committee Long Range Transportation Plan.

Dear Mr. Uhren:

The Village of Royal Palm Beach supports the expansion and extension of State Road 7 between Okeechobee Boulevard and Northlake Boulevard and objects to the action of the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency in removing the expansion and extension from the Palm Beach 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan.

The northward extension of State Road 7 is an essential component of long-standing plans to increase the connectivity of major roadways serving the Central Western Communities of Palm Beach County, with a goal of relieving congestion, increasing economic development, and improving public safety and emergency ingress/egress; and the incomplete connection of State Road 7 is a regional problem; and should continue to be a State, County and regional priority.

For more than two decades the Village of Royal Palm Beach has consistently and unanimously supported the extension of State Road 7 north to Northlake Boulevard and will continue to support this effort. We request reconsideration of the action taken by the Governing Board of the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency at its December 12, 2019 meeting and restore the expansion and extension of State Road 7 to the 2045 Palm BeachLRTP.

A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF INDIAN TRAIL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT RESTATING SUPPORT FOR EXPANSION AND EXTENSION OF STATE ROAD 7 BETWEEN OKEECHOBEE BOULEVARD AND NORTHLAKE BOULEVARD; OBJECTING TO THE ACTION OF THE PALM BEACH TRANSPORTATION PLANNING AGENCY REMOVING THE EXPANSION AND EXTENSION OF STATE ROAD 7 FROM THE PALM BEACH 2045 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN; DEMANDING RECONSIDERATION OF THIS ACTION; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

WHEREAS, Indian Trail Improvement District (the "District") is an independent special district of the State of Florida located within the unincorporated area of the Central Western

Communities of Palm Beach County, which provides and maintains drainage, roads and recreational public facilities to its residents and property owners, and;

WHEREAS, population and related traffic is growing exponentially m the Central

Western Communities, in part predicated on the availability of an adequate regional roadway system; and

WHEREAS, State Road 7 has been identified as a critical element of that roadway system; and

·wHEREAS, the northward extension of State Road 7 is an essential component of long- standing plans to increase the connectivity of major roadways serving the Central W estem

Communities of Palm Beach County, with a goal of relieving congestion, increasing economic development, and improving public safety and emergency ingress/egress; and

WHEREAS, the incomplete connection of State Road 7 is not just a problem for The

Acreage, it is a regional problem; and

68 ·wHEREAS, the extension and expansion of State Road 7 north from Okeechobee

Boulevard to Northlake Boulevard has long been and should continue to be a State, County and regional priority; and

WHEREAS, for more than two decades the Board of Supervisors have, in numerous ways, consistently and unanimously supported the extension of State Road 7 north to Northlake

Boulevard and devoted resources to that effort, which support is memorialized in, but not limited to, the following Resolutions or other official actions:

• "Resolution of the Board of Supervisors Urging the Metropolitan Planning Organization to Recommend the Extension of State Road 7 be Included in FDOT's Five-Year Plan" adopted at its Regular Meeting of May 19, 1997; and

• "Resolution of the Board of Supervisors Supporting the State Road 7 Alternative Proposal for a Thoroughfare Road", adopted at its Regular Meeting of January 24, 2000;and

• "Resolution of the Board of Supervisors Relating to State Road 7 Extension "Reliever Road" (Okeechobee Boulevard to Northlake Boulevard)", adopted at its Regular Meeting of March 26, 2008; and

• At its Regular Meeting of December 8, 2010, the Board ratified its support for the extension of State Road 7 from 60th Street North to Northlake Boulevard and directed resubmittal of the Resolution of March 8, 2008 as well as other evidence of community support; and

• "Resolution of the Board of Supervisors Reaffirming the District's Support for the Extension of State Road 7 North to Northlake Boulevard", adopted at its Regular Meeting of December 18, 2013; and

• "Resolution of the Board of Supervisors Expressing Objection to The Postponements of the Construction of the State Road 7 Extension (60th to Northlake) Project to Fiscal Year 2020 and Requesting that the State Road 7 Segment from 60th to N01ihlake be Constructed in Fiscal Year 2016", adopted at its Regular Meeting of January 7, 2015; and

WHEREAS, any negative environmental impacts of extending State Road 7 north to

Northlake Boulevard have been adequately mitigated through sensitive roadway design, which mitigation has been thoroughly reviewed by all independent regulatory authorities; and

69 ·wHEREAS, on December 12, 2019, the Governing Board of the Palm Beach

Transportation Planning Agency (PBTPA) on December 12, 2019, by a single vote in an unscheduled, unannounced and arbitrary manner, deleted plans to widen State Road 7 from two to

1 four lanes between Okeechobee Boulevard to 60 h Street North and to construct State Road 7 from

1 1 60 h Street North as a four lane road from 60 h Street North to Northlake Boulevard from the

PBTPA's 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). The action of the PBTPA was taken over the objections of the Florida Department of Transportation, Palm Beach County and the directly affected municipalities in the Western Communities without the opportunity for proper public comment and without technical support or proper review of its consequences; and

WHEREAS, this unprecedented, unjustified and arbitrary action by the PBTPA's

Governing Board is inconsistent with decades of thoroughly vetted plans for future regional roadway construction in the Western Communities that address the interests of all affected stakeholders, including the municipalities in which the roadway may be physically located; and

"WHEREAS, the actions of the Governing Board of the PBTPA will, if not reversed, have a devastating impact on Indian Trail Improvement District's roadway system and the more than

2045 Palm Beach LRTP.

PASSED AND ADOPTED this 22nd day of January 2020.

I continue to be concerned by the authorities insist on running SR 7 adjacent to the water supply for West Palm Beach. It has been made very clear the potential of a disaster occurring and yet they cannot seem to be able to work on any other alternatives other than the original plan. Perhaps it's time for an outside environmental X SHARON BROSS 10732 Orchid Reserve DriveWest Palm Beach 2/11/2020 9:59 agency and governing authority to mediate this situation. The plan calls for jogs, a low lying bridge, and with all the growth on Northlake Blvd. to the west of SR 7, why isn't it being considered to extend the road through the Acreage to serve the exploding population that will be moving into the new developments?

Besides the immediate impact and damage to the environment which we should be protecting for our children, grandchildren and future generations, and once done can never be reversed, the long term is equally dim. The disruption of wildlife which has occupied this area for thousands of years will forever alter their breeding and habitat.

With the thousands of cars that will traverse this road daily, the pollution from fossil fuel exhaust, the rubber worn of tires, leaking oil from cars onto the road which will eventually find its way into our precious waterways, and the trash strewn about by careless or uncaring motorists challenge the very essence of what we should all be working so hard to protect. Money should not be the motivator here, there's a much bigger picture that must be considered. I am a resident not living too far from the proposed extension and can't believe with the new communities going up on Northlake that the expansion would not be going through. How dare PBG allow so much new growth without a plan for the 3000plus new homes and businesses X Patty Chait 11130 Osprey Lake Lane Palm Beach Gardens 2/11/2020 10:27 going up. We can not get out of our developments now in the mornings and traffic at a standstill in the early evenings. If I had known when I purchased my home there that it was not going to be an alternate route I would never have bought there. Please don't allow this to not happen There are only two east/west through arteries between Pratt-Whitney and the turnpike and I95 for eight(8) miles. Already, there is massive traffic passing from 6:30 AM-9:30 AM going east and between 4:00-6:30 PM. There is an enormous community being constructed west of IBIS. If State Road 7 is completed to Northlake it will surely necessitate a traffic light at the intersection of State Road 7 and Northlake. With the added traffic from the large community, expected to be completed within 5 years, the traffic will certainly be compounded. The traffic light will slow the traffic flow even more and thus extend the major traffic even longer than already X Benjanin Franklin exists. An added traffic light would mean that there would be 3 traffic lights within 1/2 mile. It might be 10318 Orchid Reserve DriveWest Palm Beach 2/11/2020 10:35 prudent for some intelligent people in the area of traffic control to spend some days observing and visualizing the impact that additional traffic and an additional traffic light might have on the area and artery. A major event (accident/chase) closed down Northlake going west. More traffic begets more accidents, especially in irritated motorists. Picture the route a person must take if they live west off Northlake to get home if the west bound lane is closed. This, along with the environmental concerns is well beyond evidence to delay the construction of extending State Road 7 to Northlake. The proposed extension of SR-7 through the Grassy Waters Nature Preserve is horribly short sighted. The environmental impact is not being fully understood. In the best case scenario, the impacts will not be good for this essential environmental resource. In the worst case, irreversible damage will be done to our native X Joseph Amodeo 8406 Quail Meadow Way West Palm Beach 2/11/2020 10:58 wildlife to say nothing of our essential water resources in my opinion, the risks far exceeded any potential benefits that may result in further destroying that which makes living in this county so attractive in the first place.

Any new projects SHOULD NOT NEGATIVELY affect surrounding areas in order to beautify their area.

The love of money on full display by our county government and politicians. What a shame but no surprise. As presented this is an ill conceived plan. Putting SR7 anywhere near Grassy Waters jeopardizes the countyâ€™s drinking water and the environment. If you must build this road, go further west along Coconut X Jesse Faber 10385 Terra Lago Drive West Palm Beach 2/11/2020 14:03 Road where thereâ€™s lots of space for it and it wouldnâ€™t have the potential to negatively impact the drinking water supply for the entire county.

I have lived out in BayHIll for over 25 years and know the need to add the extension of SR7.

76 Summary of Public Comments related to LRTP Amendment #1 Support Oppose First Name Last Name Comment Address City Submittal Date With traffic increasing all the time in the area it is imperative to increase entrance and exit roads to the Acreage. If you live in this growing area the only ways out are across Northlake Blvd,East, South on Coconut to Orange and State Rd 7, South on Royal Palm Beach Blvd to Okeechobee and South on Seminole Pratt Whitney to Southern Blvd . Construction of Ancient Tree on Northlake Blvd along with Westlake which will impact 60th St will increase traffic drastically. We must have an alternative route north-south that connects to Northlake Blvd. Going east on Northlake from Seminole Pratt Whitney there are few roads that run North-South. Once you pass Coconut there is no N-S road until you reach the Beeline Hwy. If there is an accident on Northlake X Lynn Sweetay 14136 82nd St N Loxahatchee 2/11/2020 15:16 during rush hour (as I once experienced) there is no way to go south or north to get another route. The only choice is to turn around and go back west on Northlake or sit in bumper to bumper traffic until it is cleared (in my case 2 hours). Unfortunately the thing we love about the Acreage, its surroundings of natural areas and open spaces is our limiting factor for growth. Extension of State Road 7 up to Northlake would give us an alternate route without dramatically increasing a "web of roads" which would spoil the country feel of the area.

I am vehemently opposed to the SR7 project as it is currently presented. Having reviewed many of the presentations on the topic it seems quite obvious that the risk to our West Palm Beach water supply as well as the risk of flooding within Ibis far exceed any benefit to be gained from the road construction.

It's also very unclear to me what the real cost of the project will be. Different presentations seem to present different numbers.

Where's the accountability if this far into the planning there's no clear price tag associated with the project?

Other areas in the county have experienced increased traffic due to overdevelopment like our community has, however they have multiple alternative route options they can seek. The acreage residents really only have 2 options right now to get out. The few roads that we do have out here are already congested due to the amount of people that drive to and from work everyday. Our side roads such as coconut and orange have too many cars on them during peak hours. I canâ€™t tell you how many times Iâ€™ve been stuck at home because the roads were backed up.

They need to follow through with that agreement and be held accountable as not doing so would threaten the lives of people living in our community. The acreage/loxahatchee community has been in need of this critical infrastructure for years, and without the SR7 extension there will be no way for our communities to evacuate if needed. Public safety needs to come first. Please build this extension, our community desperately needs it.

Good day, With all the new developments coming out here, ie; Ancient Tree (where they cut down all the trees) and Westlake ( that no one wants here), we will definitely need the 441 extension built. The roads are already becoming over crowded as it is and Seminole Pratt, orange blvd and coconut will need relief from the traffic as more of these cookie cutter houses are built out here. Residence that live along the side streets of coconut already have a hard enough time trying to pull out onto coconut with the amount of traffic that travels along the road, especially during rush hour. The 441 extension is a necessity! Although it's an evil necessity that will push a lot of wild life out of their homes, it is still a necessity. So as long as we can design the extension in the same manner as the current road, with gates and barricades blocking both sides and protecting the preserves, X Lauren Robbins Loxahatchee 2/11/2020 21:58 I believe we can make this extension work for both wild life and traffic. Please look at the long term, negative effects that will take place out here if the extension is not built. The extension will even help fire rescue and emergency crews get from one side to another at a faster rate as well.

Also, now to get off topic.. at Seminole pratt and northlake, I know there are plans for a 3 way traffic signal, but that will only back up northlake traffic even more during rush hour. Instead, consider a round about, all that would need to be done is to excavate the land just in front of the canal bank to make room for a large enough round about that can accommodate all the larger trucks and trailers that pass through there. A round about is more sufficient at that 3 way intersection then a light would be.

Thank you for your time and i do hope you consider approving this extension for the benefit of the community that is slowly being destroyed by developers.

The SR7 extension needs to be put back on the Palm Beach County Long Range Plan. Taking it off was an enormous mistake.

I am asking that you please place the SR7 extension back into the plan. I don't understand why it was pulled to begin with. I heard that the Ibis community is using what was the beginning of the extension as their own private road and have even put a gate at the end of it. Why are they the only ones that can use it? I also heard that it is their community that is against the completion of this project. They should not be allowed to use any X Santiago Amador part of the road for their own access. The entrance to their community should be closed off with barriers along 5856 Whippoorwill Circle Westlake 2/11/2020 23:12 the end of the SR7 extension and everyone should use their main entrance to enter and exit. If they are against the extension they should made made to be against all of it, not get to enjoy the piece that benefits them while opposing the remainder of the project that benefits the entire area.

As a resident of Palm Beach County my entire 56 years of life and of the Acreage for 30 years, the 441 extension is something that has been on the books, funded and ready to construct for many, many years. The issues and delays are beyond frustrating and make absolutely no sense. How a select few people and lawyers have allowed this project to be delayed, stopped and removed from the long range road plan is beyond wrong. So let me make it official, yes, we want the extension to happen, we need the extension to happen. The road network system in the Acreage area is completely insufficient and is not appropriate for the amount of homes in and around the area. As for the 441 extension, this will allow a roadway on the outskirts of the community X Catherine Probst 15134 67TH CT N LOXAHATCHEE 2/12/2020 6:32 for commuters and emergency vehicles to have options for getting from Point A to Point B.

Unfortunately, people don't take the time to attend meetings with busy lives and family commitments. It's not fair that at this point, this input process is being asked for and any determination made based on public input. This has been done over and over again. Build the road!

As a resident the fact that West Palm Beach and Ibis have the ability to stall this important improvement that has X Amanda Radigan 16093 WHIPPOORWILL CIRCLEWESTLAKE 2/12/2020 9:53 been planned for over 20 years is astonishing.

Since 1972, the future of SR7 has been known. A gravel road, there for years, is now blocked off. The existence of Ibis was, and is, contingent on this extension. Residents of Ibis enjoy a private back entrance, on the taxpayer dime, for the northern portion of this extension already built. Ibis is not unique in their behavior of blocking roads in order to "protect their lifestyle". Andros Isles, Bayside, Avenir and Riverwalk residents, also created with similar contingencies, including SR7, have leagued with Ibis on this matter. The residents of these developments should note, their presence has impacted all of us in the western communities who moved here to pursue a wide open, dirt road, "country" lifestyle. Free from the degree of traffic, lights, and crime seen in high density areas. Free to draw our own water from the ground and sustain ourselves. Free to live with our livestock, enjoy the natural tree canopy, flora, and fauna, see the night sky, and introduce our children to rural life. Our properties produce vegetables, fruits, eggs and more, much of which those frequenting farmers X Lisa El-Ramey 3828 B Road Loxahatchee 2/12/2020 10:08 markets in the area enjoy. The City of West Palm Beach's argument of the quality of their water being affected is moot, since the mere presence of all the above developments directly impacts Grassy Waters Preserve and encroaches on it's historic footprint. The additional argument of the pristine nature of these waters is also in doubt given the amounts of chemicals placed into these areas to "maintain" them. ALL of these developments destroy the environment which is required for the residents of the western communities to assert their right to Life, Liberty and pursuit of Happiness proclaimed in our country's own Declaration of Independence. So, while all who live in the western communities would like to see the clock turned back and have none of the developments, current or future, exist. In the case of SR7, this extension MUST be allowed to progress. This is essential to relieve the pressure and traffic placed on the rural residential roads of surrounding communities long in existence before the offending developments arrived.

If there is ever an emergency and we need to evacuate, 3 roads leaving the acreage is no where near enough. X Leanne LaLonde 13615 61 Lane North West Palm Beach 2/12/2020 15:48 And with all the new construction happening on Northlake, there needs to be another outlet to go north/east.

X Vickie Demerski Please extend State Road 7 traffic is Terrible 13556 Hamlin Blvd West Palm Beach 2/12/2020 16:14

Please begin the planned connection of State Rd 7 from Okeechobee to Northlake Blvd as planned a million years ago at this point. The County continues to approve housing development but no roads to go along with it. This is decision making at it's finest for those not having to deal with our traffic issues.

We need a solution to our ongoing, daily traffic congestion getting out of the Western Communities in the morning and getting back in at night. Traffic has nowhere to go which causes drivers to cut through traffic on X Diana Barr 12397 63rd Lane N. West Palm Beach 2/12/2020 16:16 our residential roads and increases noise in our neighborhoods. We're also experiencing a tremendous increase in big trucks, commercial vehicles and construction traffic through our neighborhoods because the only way to get to Northlake from Okeechobee is to take the 441 Extension to Coconut, RPB Blvd to Coconut or RPB to Persimmon to Coconut Blvd.

The extension would also improve emergency response times for our firefighters, EMTs and police. Hello I have been living in Loxahatchee for over 27years. Palm Beach County western commuties fought to have the 441 extension completed and it needs to be put back into the plan. It should have never been removed.

94 Summary of Public Comments related to LRTP Amendment #1 Support Oppose First Name Last Name Comment Address City Submittal Date I find it incomprehensible that years ago there was an (much needed) agreement entered into with the City of WPB and now they can go back on it just like it never happened. What if we all did that?!! SR7 extension is very X Arlene Moore much needed. Are we to wait until there is an evacuation emergency and loss of life before it is decided to do 15086 86Th Rd N Loxahatchee 2/12/2020 16:53 the right thing?!! If this is what happens I've loss all respect for our decision makers and will reflect that when given the opportunity. I am really concerned with the increased amount of traffic through our Equestrian neighborhood due to the massive building projects and Westlake. SR7 was partially built as a reliever road, however, it is extremely hard to get on it in the Morning Rush hour as people heading South will not stop or slow down to let people on from Orange, Persimmon, Orange Grove etc. Also, this road should go all the way through to Northlake, as people that live North take SR7 as far as they can then cut through our neighborhood and congest our smaller Royal palm Blvd and Coconut and all of the side streets. X sandra browning I strongly agree with completing the project to extend SR7 from 60th to northlake as well as widening SR7 from 4272 123RD TRL N WEST PALM BEACH 2/12/2020 16:55 Okeechobee to 60th.

I Strongly support the plan to extend SR 7 from 60th to Northlake TPAO14 FM 2296646

The reliever Road was never completed to northlake and all of the traffic heading North is now dumping off X KURT ZEIDLER 4272 123RD TRAIL NORTHROYAL PALM BEACH 2/12/2020 17:04 into our small side streets causing risk and hazard to our equestrian community. Additionally, our side streets are becoming so congested. it is almost impossible to get onto SR7 from Eastbound Orange Grove or Eastbound Persimmon as South bound Traffic will not let you in. Traffic then backs up into the neighborhood that are single lanes with school bus stops.. Very dangerous

Single‐county MPO/TPOs that encompass the entire limits of the county are calculated using the total county fatalities, serious injuries and traffic volumes as published. Multiple‐county MPO/TPOs that encompass the entire limits of each of their included counties are calculated using the fatalities, serious injuries and traffic volumes summed for all of the included counties and are combined totals and rates calculated based on combined totals and combined traffic volumes. MPO/TPOs that do not encompass whole counties are not calculated at the MPO/TPO level but the county calculations for each included county are presented in the lower table.

DATA SOURCES: fatality and serious injury counts from Florida Dept. of Transportation (FDOT) State Safety Office's Crash Analysis Reporting (CAR) database as of November 25, 2019: any figures that include the 2018 data are preliminary at this time and may change with future updates; traffic volumes as published by the FDOT office of Transportation Data and Analytics at http://www.fdot.gov/planning/statistics/mileage‐rpts/

1. The average number of fatalities per year is the sum of the annual total fatalities for each year in the range divided by 5, to one decimal place. Fatalities are individuals listed on a Florida Traffic Crash Report (FTCR) form with injury code “5” – fatal (within 30 days). 2. The average number of serious injuries per year is the sum of the annual total serious injuries for each year in the range divided by 5, to one decimal place. Serious injuries are individuals listed on an FTCR form with injury code “4” – incapacitating. 3. The average fatality rate is an average of the yearly rate figures for the years in the range, to three decimal places. Each yearly rate is calculated by dividing the total number of fatalities for the year by the total traffic volume for the year. Traffic volume is expressed in 100 Million Vehicle‐Miles and is the Daily Vehicle‐Miles Traveled (sum for the region of the counts of vehicles per day times the length of the segments associated with the traffic) times the number of days in the year, divided by 100,000,000. This yields an annual volume of Vehicle‐Miles. The number of fatalities divided by the traffic volume is the annual fatality rate. This measure averages the five annual rates within the measurement window and does NOT use the cumulative five‐year fatalities over the cumulative five‐year traffic volume. 4. The average serious injury rate is an average of the yearly rate figures for the years in the range, to three decimal places. Each yearly rate is calculated by dividing the total number of serious injuries for the year by the total traffic volume for the year. See (3) above for an explanation of traffic volume. The same traffic volume figure is used here in the same way. 5. The average number of combined fatalities and serious injuries for bicyclists and pedestrians is per year is the sum of the annual total bicyclist and pedestrian fatalities and total bicyclist and pedestrian serious injuries for each year in the range divided by 5, to one decimal place. Bicyclist and pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries are individuals listed on an FTCR form as Non‐Motorist with a Non‐Motorist Description code of “01” (pedestrian), “02” (other pedestrian (wheelchair, person in a building, skater, pedestrian conveyance, etc.)), “03” (bicyclist) or “04” (other cyclist) and with injury code “5” – fatal (within 30 days) or injury code “4” – incapacitating.

Subject: Expiration of the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency's Directions 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan

Dear Madam Chair:

On October 31, 2019, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) sent a letter to the Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA) regarding the expired Directions 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP). That letter outlined the consequences of the expired LRTP on the TPA's Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).

We have been notified that on December 12, 2019 the Palm Beach TPA Governing Board adopted the new 2045 LRTP. With this adoption, the TPA can now resume processing TIP amendments and FHWA and FTA will resume approving STIP amendments for the TPA projects.

Both agencies stand ready to provide technical assistance to the TPA. If you have any questions please contact Stacie Blizzard, FHWA, at (850) 553-2223 or by email at Stacie.Blizzard<@dot.gov, or Robert Sachnin, FTA, at (404) 865-5606 or by email at [email protected].

Sincerely,
