CHAMBERLAIN: Hello. If folks 3 can go ahead and get seated. We'll be starting 4 shortly with the presentation. Thank you. Good 5 afternoon, although it feels like evening with the 6 weather, but my name's Anna Chamberlain. I'm with the 7 District Department of Transportation, and we are the 8 project sponsor for the Long Bridge, EIS. And with me 9 tonight I have David Valenstein with FRA. And I also 10 want to acknowledge Kate Youngbluth with DRPT, who's 11 the project sponsor. And we have us with the -- 12 tonight also elected official Jeremiah Montague, Jr. 13 He's an ANC Commissioner here in the crowd. What -- 14 thanks, again, you guys for coming -- sorry. I feel 15 like I have to bend over so much -- for joining us for 16 the public hearing for the Draft Impact Statement for 17 the Long Bridge Project. It also contains the Draft 18 Section for 4(f) Evaluation and the Draft Section for 19 the 106 Programmatic Agreement. The Draft EIS was 20 completed in accordance with the National 21 Environmental Policy Act of 1969 which is known as 22 NIFA, and you'll hear us refer to NIFA, DDOT and FRA H-5 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Public Hearing October 22, 2019 Page 4 1 are also conducting consultation for the Long Bridge 2 Project complied with the Section 106 and the National 3 Historic Preservation Act of 1966. 4 And, finally, the Draft EIS contains, 5 as I mentioned, the Draft Section of the 4(f) 6 Evaluation which refers to the section within the U.S. 7 Department of Transportation Act of 1966. The formal 8 public comment period on the Draft EIS, and all of the 9 documents I just mentioned, began in September 5 with 10 our release, and they'll close next week on October 11 28. 12 In addition to speaking at this hearing 13 here tonight, you can provide comments in writing, and 14 if you prefer not to speak in front of an audience you 15 can also provide comments to the court reporter 16 directly following the open public comment session. 17 So for -- I'm assuming most of you guys 18 know, hopefully -- I see a lot of familiar faces 19 who've been here to the many meetings we've had over 20 the years -- Long Bridge Project consists of potential 21 improvements to the railroad bridge and all the 22 related infrastructure that's located between (RO) H-6 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Public Hearing October 22, 2019 Page 5 1 Interlocking which is in Arlington, Virginia near the 2 Long Bridge Park, and it goes into the district near 3 the (LE)Interlocking which is on 10th Street, SW. The 4 existing bridge and the railroad corridor are owned by 5 CSX Transportation, and it currently has two tracks 6 over the Potomac River and immediately north and south 7 of it there are three tracks. 8 It should be noted that although it's 9 called Long Bridge Project it actually involves five 10 additional projects that are over roadways, including 11 a historic bridge over the GW Parkway, and the Long 12 Bridge itself is a contributing element to the East 13 and West Potomac Parks Historic District. 14 The purpose of the project is to 15 provide additional long-term railroad capacity to 16 improve the reliability of railroad services through 17 the corridor. Currently there's insufficient 18 capacity, resiliency, and redundancy to accommodate 19 the projected demand in future railroad services which 20 we completed under the Phase 2 analysis. There's 21 plenty of information in the DIS and also on our 22 website showing the projected train volumes for both H-7 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Public Hearing October 22, 2019 Page 6 1 passenger and rail, and other users, and the project 2 that is needed to address these issues to ensure that 3 the Long Bridge Corridor continues to serve as a 4 critical link connecting local, regional, and national 5 transportation network. 6 So here's the No Action Alternative. 7 And all EIS is part of the NIFA process. You 8 evaluate, what's called, a No Action Alternative which 9 consists of the existing transportation network, plus 10 any planned projects that are not directly involved 11 with this particular project in the area within the 12 area by 2040. So all the other projects there's the 13 VRE expansions that are occurring outside the project 14 area, adding a -- the -- further tracks and also the 15 DC to RVA. 16 It represents the baseline, 17 essentially, for which all the other actions are 18 compared against. The No Action is consistent with 19 the purpose of need -- sorry, it is not consistent 20 with the purpose need because it does not eliminate 21 the bottleneck, and it does not provide redundant 22 infrastructure. Glad everyone's awake. H-8 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Public Hearing October 22, 2019 Page 7 1 So here are the two Action Alternatives 2 that were evaluated as part of the DEIS and the Action 3 Alternatives only vary in whether we retain the 4 existing Long Bridge, the actual bridge over the 5 Potomac River, and the railroad bridge over the GW 6 Parkway. So, Alternative A as you see the alignments 7 are the same, but Alternative A would retain, as I 8 mentioned, the existing bridges and it would build a 9 two new -- it would build a new two-track bridge over 10 the Potomac River and the GW Parkway. 11 The Alternative B would build all new 12 bridges. So it have two new two-track bridges and it 13 would replace all of the existing bridges. So both 14 Alternatives would expand the railroad corridor from 15 two tracks to four tracks between the (RO) 16 Interlocking and the (LE)Interlocking. And FRA and 17 DDOT have selected Alternative A, which I mentioned 18 it's a -- you maintain the existing Long Bridge, and 19 that we found is because it has lower capital costs, 20 shorter construction duration, and fewer impacts than 21 the other alternative. 22 In addition, as part of the 4(f) H-9 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Public Hearing October 22, 2019 Page 8 1 mitigation, we're proposing an independent bike-ped 2 structure upstream of the new bridge, crossing the 3 Potomac River. And the crossing would be -- would 4 provide an important connection within the regional 5 trail system as it would link the Long Bridge park in 6 Virginia, the Mount Vernon Trail, and the East Potomac 7 Park. And DRPT, as I mentioned, the project sponsor 8 is committed to constructing the ped-bike crossing as 9 part of the Record of Decision that's required to move 10 this project forward. 11 And here I'll move on to David. 12 MR. VALENSTEIN: Good evening, 13 everyone. As Anna mentioned, my name is David 14 Valenstein. I'm with the Federal Railroad 15 Administration, a part of Operating Administration of 16 USDOT, and were the federal lead agency for this 17 project. I'm going to walk you through some of the 18 impacts and next steps for the project. 19 The next -- let's see. The next -- 20 this slide and the next one as well highlights some 21 key temporary and permanent impacts of the Action 22 Alternatives. Key impacts are those that H-10 www.CapitalReportingCompany.com 202-857-3376 Public Hearing October 22, 2019 Page 9 1 differentiate among the alternatives, those that are 2 major, those that the agency stakeholders, and the 3 public have expressed interest. Key construction 4 impacts are generally related to the location of 5 construction staging, and access for construction 6 vehicles and equipment. They include interruptions to 7 two-track operations on the existing Long Bridge to 8 create track shifts and realignments. Traffic control 9 measures, temporary lane closures, temporary lane 10 shifts on the GW Parkway, I-395, and Main Avenue, SW, 11 impacts to the yellow line Metrorail service for 12 construction of the -- of -- over the existing portal.

    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider

    2019 NCBJ Annual Meeting in Washington, D.C. - Early Ideas Regarding Extracurricular Activities for Attendees and Guests to Consider There are so many things to do when visiting D.C., many for free, and here are a few you may have not done before. They may make it worthwhile to come to D.C. early or to stay to the end of the weekend. Getting to the Sites: • D.C. Sites and the Pentagon: Metro is a way around town. The hotel is four minutes from the Metro’s Mt. Vernon Square/7th St.-Convention Center Station. Using Metro or walking, or a combination of the two (or a taxi cab) most D.C. sites and the Pentagon are within 30 minutes or less from the hotel.1 Googlemaps can help you find the relevant Metro line to use. Circulator buses, running every 10 minutes, are an inexpensive way to travel to and around popular destinations. Routes include: the Georgetown-Union Station route (with a stop at 9th and New York Avenue, NW, a block from the hotel); and the National Mall route starting at nearby Union Station. • The Mall in particular. Many sites are on or near the Mall, a five-minute cab ride or 17-minute walk from the hotel going straight down 9th Street. See map of Mall. However, the Mall is huge: the Mall museums discussed start at 3d Street and end at 14th Street, and from 3d Street to 14th Street is an 18-minute walk; and the monuments on the Mall are located beyond 14th Street, ending at the Lincoln Memorial at 23d Street.

Ciii•l1111 Bethesda, Maryland Senior Mobility and Accessibility Needs and Barriers Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Senior Mobility and Accessibility Needs and Barriers Study, funded through the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board Transportation/Land-Use Connections (TLC) Technical Assistance Program, brought together stakeholders in the Greenbelt community and solicited residents’ input to: Identify key areas where Greenbelt’s older adult and disabled populations are underserved, and Recommend transportation projects to best serve these populations. To accomplish this, a Needs and Barriers Assessment was conducted to identify transportation needs and barriers for older adults and people with disabilities living in Greenbelt. The assessment includes a review of demographic and land use data, outreach to the community through a survey and meetings with stakeholders in the Greenbelt community. Following these efforts, options were developed to address the needs and barriers identified. The Needs and Barriers Assessment found that the majority of older adults live in the northwest section of Greenbelt. The percent increase in population for the age 90 and over group from 2000 to 2010 is significantly

    2018 Pavement Management Program

    CITY OF ST. PETERS 2018 PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOREWORD The purpose of the City of St. Peters pavement management program is to provide well-maintained, high quality streets, sidewalks and traffic control systems at the lowest reasonable cost. Planned levels of maintenance must be carefully correlated with available funds to achieve the best possible level of service across the City. This program book lists the streets, sidewalks, street signs, pavement markings and traffic signals scheduled for repair or replacement during the coming season in each political ward of the City. Prior to the individual ward sections are summary lists for scheduled sidewalk, concrete and asphalt street repairs, sign replacements, traffic signal improvements, and pavement marking operations. All projects are listed in order of need. Listings of all projects, in the general order they will be performed, will be available at the Street Department website, www.stpetersmo.net. These listings will be updated periodically as the projects are completed, or conditions warrant a schedule change. In addition to the 2018 repair projects, listings of tentative repair and maintenance projects for 2019, which are currently un-funded, are shown. Street, sidewalk and traffic system repair and maintenance are hazardous and stressful jobs, which may not be understood by the general public. Operations are performed in the public road right-of- way during hot weather, and often under heavy traffic conditions. We thank those individuals who give their dedication and best effort in carrying out the details of this program. 2018 Pavement Management Program i Forward TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword .........................................................................................................................i Table of Contents ..........................................................................................................
