III. Action Items
A. Review and Approval of March 10, 2021 BPAC Meeting Minutes
MOTION: A motion was made Mr. Daun to approve the March 10, 2021 BPAC meeting minutes. The motion was seconded by Mr. Dodzik and carried unanimously.
B. Review and Recommend Approval of Resolution 2021-## Amending the FY 2020/21 to 2024/25 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
Mr. Harris stated this TIP amendment programs $1.443 million for the design and right-of-way of a pedestrian crossing on International Speedway Boulevard (ISB). Several years ago, FDOT completed an ISB Pedestrian Connectivity Study and Safety Assessment; Phase 2 of the assessment looked at the section of ISB at Lincoln Street and Adams Street and recommended a pedestrian crossing within those limits. It was a long-term safety recommendation and specified further engineering would be required. FDOT completed another study in April of 2020 to narrow down the location of the pedestrian crossing and look at other issues such as right-of-way and type of signalization needed. They decided to put a mid-block crossing at Lockhart Street in front of the Bethune Cookman Center for Civic Engagement. There will be a new crosswalk, signs and a mast arm; it will either be a pedestrian hybrid beacon like there is in front of Mainland High School or another type of beacon such as a rectangular rapid flashing beacon (RRFB). This amendment adds funding to FDOT’s Work Program for design and right-of-way; design in the current fiscal year and right-of-way next fiscal year.
Mr. Daun commented that Lockhart Street is a major north/south street between ISB and Orange Avenue; the only options for those north/south corridors are MLK Boulevard or Lockhart Street which is by the Brickyard Restaurant. That is a busy intersection and he asked why that location was chosen over other less travelled places.
Mr. Harris replied FDOT took pedestrian counts as part of the study and made note of Lockhart Street and the intersections on either side; Adams Street and Lincoln Street. Those are fully signalized intersections but a crossing was needed mid-block. It was FDOT’s recommendation to put the crossing at Lockhart Street based on data collected, turning movements of the nearby intersections and where pedestrians were already crossing.
Mr. Daun asked if the option of a pedestrian bridge over ISB for Bethune Cookman University was considered.
Mr. Harris replied he did not think so; that was considered when improvements were discussed at Daytona State College and Mainland High School but they installed a full signal at the college and a pedestrian hybrid beacon at the high school instead. There was not enough right-of-way for a pedestrian bridge.
Ms. Burgess-Hall stated she was part of an evaluation done in that area years ago and the consensus was that a pedestrian overpass was not feasible. She asked if the crossing at Lockhart Street will include an accessible pedestrian signal (APS); not just because of students but the theater and the Brickyard Restaurant are also in that area. It would not be unusual for a blind person to cross in that area.
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Minutes April 14, 2021 Page 2 6
Chairperson Eik asked for clarification that this project came out of a study named “Pedestrian Mid-Block Crossing Study” yet the recommendation appears to be at an intersection.
Mr. Harris replied the recommendation is for a crossing at an unsignalized intersection at Lockhart Street and ISB.
Chairperson Eik referred to the project cost of $912,000 and the additional future cost of $531,412; he asked how they came up with that future cost amount and what it is for.
Mr. Harris replied there will be a construction phase that is not included in this amendment; there will need to be additional funding for construction.
Chairperson Eik stated he hopes in the future FDOT provides enough information so that we do not have to ask these questions; if they want more money, they need to tell us what it is for. This is an important project and the committee needs all the information it can get.
Mr. Harris replied the schools, Bethune Cookman University, Daytona State College, and Mainland High School, generate a lot of pedestrian traffic. Students do not always use the intersections to cross so this improvement is needed.
Mr. Lodge commented that he travelled Lockhart Street recently and it is a nice street with no stop signs; it is a north/south travel street. When turning onto Lockhart Street from ISB he had to stop to allow students to cross; the traffic signals were a quarter-mile in either direction and they do not stop traffic long enough for them to cross. It was the same when he exited Lockhart Street.
Mr. Aufdenberg asked what the funding source was.
Mr. Harris replied advanced construction SA funds; federal funds FDOT receives that are similar to the TPO’s SU funds.
Mr. Oebbecke asked why the additional funds were not included in the total project cost; he asked why fiscal years 2024/25 were zeroed out.
Mr. Harris replied the funding for construction is not shown because most likely it is not available in the fiscal year needed; probably 2023 or 2024. We can expect another TIP amendment when that funding is identified for the fiscal year needed.
Mr. Oebbecke asked if they know how much will be needed at this point.
Mr. Harris replied no, but they most likely will know when the design is complete.
Ms. Burgess-Hall asked how she could make a recommendation to include APS.
Mr. Harris replied the recommendation today is for funding the Work Program for design and right-of-way acquisition.
Mr. Oebbecke asked if the additional $531,412 was for right-of-way acquisition.
Mr. Harris replied that is likely part of the construction cost since it is for FY 2024/25; the design will start this year and continue into next year, and the right-of-way phase will start next fiscal year as well. We do not know when the right-of-way phase will end but normally FDOT will program construction a minimum of two years out so that $531,412 in additional funds is most likely for construction.
Mr. Hall stated if they plan for APS at the time of construction it will cost less than if they install it after the fact; he strongly recommends it be looked at in the design phase.
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Minutes April 14, 2021 Page 3 7
Mr. Harris agreed and stated APS will be installed when the project is constructed it will be consistent with other signals and the pedestrian hybrid beacon along ISB.
Discussion continued.
MOTION: A motion was made by Ms. Burgess-Hall to recommend approval of Resolution 2021-## amending the FY 2020/21 to 2024/25 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and that the project description include APS. The motion was seconded by Ms. Belin and carried unanimously.
IV. Presentation and Discussion Items
A. Presentation and Discussion of Transportation Safety
Ms. Bollenback gave a PowerPoint presentation of transportation safety and stated this has been a difficult presentation to assemble as there have been recent incidents as well as the recent release of the Dangerous by Design Report. We are doing good, hard work relating to safety and to see crashes increasing is difficult. Safety is complicated and there is not a silver bullet to fix the issue. The TPO is only one agency that participates in the effort and we will continue to do so. She reviewed the five ”E’s” of safety; evaluation, engineering, enforcement, encouragement and education. She noted FDOT has added emergency response and four “I’s” to their list; information, innovation, insight and investment. We have to figure out how to use all the different strategies to make a safer transportation system. We should also consider equity and empathy; there are populations that are disproportionately impacted by unsafe conditions. Empathy is important because if we are not concerned enough about others we will continue to have increasing crashes. The participants in this process include FDOT, local governments, MPOs, law enforcement, advocacy groups, health agencies and users of the transportation system. It is important to recognize that this is not someone else’s problem fix; it is the responsibility of everyone involved. She explained FDOT’s “Vision Zero” policy and stated it is intended to be a shift in the way we think about transportation safety. Over the last few decades, transportation safety has been viewed as an inevitable byproduct of transportation. She suggested we approach it like the airlines do a plane crash or Votran views a transit-related crash and determine if the event could have been prevented and if so, why it was not and how it could be prevented in the future. FDOT has three plans that guide their safety approach across the state; the Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP), Highway Safety Plan (HSP) and the Highway Safety Implementation Plan (HSIP). These plans outline the strategies they will pursue based on a review of the data. She will send a link to FDOT’s website where the plans are available for review. She reviewed portions of the plans and stated FDOT had 394 safety projects in 2018 statewide totaling approximately $155 million. FDOT is clear about what is important to them and they are identifying ways to fix the issues. The TPO wants to support and complement FDOT’s efforts.
She continued the presentation and reviewed some of the TPO’s resources including required efforts such as the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP), planning studies, project priority list, etc. She explained FDOT’s safety target of Vision Zero. Targets were established a few years ago and FDOT submitted their first two-year report; the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) determined that the state has not made significant progress towards meeting its safety goals; TPO activity supports those goals. The role of the TPO is to prioritize projects and target funding, complete planning studies, set safety targets and conduct public education and outreach. The challenge is the TPO is but one organization and does not write the laws, enforce the laws, or build projects; however, we can influence funding of projects, promote awareness and educate the public. The question is what else can we do; she asked members to provide input on what additional information they may need to provide direction and if there is a study or data analysis they think that needs to be completed.
Mr. Daun stated the TPO has done an excellent job of being in the forefront by seeking solutions rather than denying the problem and he commends staff for doing so. However, he disagrees that speeding is a problem because data from urban areas, such as US 1 in Dade and Broward Counties, may have six lanes of traffic with a speed limit of 50 miles per hour (mph) but they do not have the number of crashes we do with fewer traffic lanes. The big issue he sees is jaywalking and illegal mid-block crossings as well as impaired pedestrians which is an issue in our area. Jaywalking could be addressed by installing barricade fencing like they have by the
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Minutes April 14, 2021 Page 4 8 Daytona International Speedway and should be considered at the new crossing at Bethune Cookman University. The same for US 1; there is a soup kitchen and homeless services where a number of patrons are inebriated. Slowing cars down will only create more congestion in our community; other communities do not have the same fatality numbers we do yet they move more traffic with less incidents.
Ms. Bollenback agreed that it is not always a driver issue as pedestrian behaviors need to change as well. When there is not a recognized pedestrian crossing between traffic signals in areas with a lot of pedestrian activity like SR A1A, it has been shown that people will take the shortest path. The design of our transportation system needs to recognize human behavior and help facilitate safe interaction between vehicles and bicyclists and pedestrians. It is important that crosswalks are installed in the right places and pedestrians are channeled to them.
Ms. Burgess-Hall asked what the impact was of drivers making right turns on a green light when a pedestrian also has the right-of-way; she has seen this to be a problem.
Ms. Bollenback replied not all drivers are fully aware of the Florida law that requires they yield to pedestrians. She is not sure what the statistics show on that but she can look into it. The bigger question is how to change it and what to do to make drivers aware and to ensure pedestrians are cautious.
Mr. Coletti stated that bicyclists have the same rights and privileges as pedestrians but many drivers are unaware of it. When people move here and get their Florida driver’s license, he would like to also see them receive information so that they are aware of the rules that may be different in Florida from other states. He would also like to see signage so drivers start understanding they must yield to bicyclists and pedestrians.
Mr. Oebbecke commented that in Ponce Inlet, a problem they have on SR A1A is that they cannot light the crosswalks because of sea turtle nests; he asked at what point do we consider pedestrian safety more important than an impact to the turtles on the beach.
Ms. Bollenback replied that is an ongoing problem along the coast of Florida to protect nesting sea turtles which is a valid concern. There are many varying lighting solutions to ensure people can cross safely; embedded lighting solutions have been used in many areas; they light when crossed and are dark other times.
Mr. Oebbecke commented there are numerous crosswalks along SR A1A that are especially dangerous at dusk when people are migrating from the beach; it seems to be an increasing danger. He asked what considerations are being looked at regarding electric scooters, bicycles, etc.; we are being inundated with them and they are riding them on sidewalks at speeds of 35 mph and are increasing in number.
Ms. Bollenback replied that is a topic to address at a future meeting; the fact is there are going to be more and more different types of vehicles and they are here to stay.
Mr. Dodzik stated for decades there has been the “Click it or Ticket” campaign regarding wearing seatbelts; he asked about having a public service announcement (PSA) that bicycles and pedestrians have the right-of-way.
Ms. Bollenback replied there is not a silver bullet to encourage certain behavior; we need to adapt design to what human nature will encourage. In some cases that may mean partnering with law enforcement.
Discussion continued.
B. Presentation and Discussion of the Draft List of Prioritized Bicycle/Pedestrian and B/P Local Initiatives Projects
(Handout)
Mr. Harris stated the draft list of prioritized bicycle/pedestrian and B/P Local initiatives projects are provided as a handout and were emailed prior to the start of the meeting. There will be another draft in May and the final draft list will be adopted in June. Information changed or added is shown in green and projects being removed are stricken in red. He reviewed the updates to the Tier A priority list and noted that the three Port Orange
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Minutes April 14, 2021 Page 5 9 sidewalk projects were submitted individually but the city wants to bundle them and design them together. They may not be constructed together but will be designed together. He reviewed the changes to the Tier B list and noted project number four, the Ponce Inlet Mobility Project, was on the list last year; however, the city committed to a higher local match and as a result, the BPAC Project Review Subcommittee awarded it six extra points and it moved up the list. He continued and reviewed the Tier C project priority list for feasibility studies.
C. Presentation and Discussion of the Draft List of Shared Use Non-Motorized (SUN) Trail Projects
(Handout)
Mr. Harris referred to the SUN Trail priority project list and noted last year, a Tier B list was added that included projects ready to be funded. They are projects that are not in the FDOT Work Program but are projects the TPO feels are priorities. He reviewed the changes to the Tier A priority list and referred to the Spring to Spring Trail gap in DeLand from Lake Beresford Park to Grand Avenue; this project was split into three sections for design but the construction and the three design phases have moved out of the Work Program. He had a discussion with Ms. Stephanie Moss, FDOT, and stated that it had something to do with COVID-19. He intends to add it to the Tier B because it is still a priority for the TPO.
Ms. Ardito stated that Volusia County has taken that part of the project over because of unresolvable right-of- way issues by FDOT.
Mr. Harris continued reviewing the SUN Trail draft priority list.
Mr. Aufdenberg asked if a “year submitted” column could be added.
Mr. Harris replied yes.
V. Staff Comments → Update on Constant Contact
Ms. Blankenship announced the TPO’s first Constant Contact newsletter went out late last month; the focus was on Florida’s Bike Month. Positive feedback was received and it was posted on Facebook and Twitter. She asked members for suggestions for future newsletter articles and thanked Mr. Daun for suggesting the Pershing Highway Trail.
→ Update on Microsoft Teams
Ms. Blankenship announced the TPO will be switching from the GoToMeeting video platform to Microsoft Teams in May. The main reason for the switch is for American’s with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility; GoToMeeting is not accessible for screen readers or closed captioning while Microsoft Teams is. It is also more cost effective for the TPO. It will be a little different but very similar to GoToMeeting; members will click on a link to join the meeting. More information will be forthcoming.

VII. BPAC Member Comments
Mr. Daun announced that the Lyft ride-sharing app now allows you to rent electric bikes, scooters, etc. Visitors may also rent alternative vehicles instead of cars. He directed his next comments to FDOT; he referred to the Oakridge Boulevard project and the bike lane over the Seabreeze Bridge to SR A1A and that FDOT had public meetings and received comments from the residents regarding this project. Although they removed the hotel valet drive there are no shade trees and FDOT did not consider the public comments received about that. He referred to the Dangerous by
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Minutes April 14, 2021 Page 6 10 Design Report released last month and stated that regardless of the statistics, this has been a long-standing issue with bicycle and pedestrian fatalities in District 5; the finger pointing and blaming has damaged the trust within the community of addressing an issue that is the purview of FDOT. He is concerned and disappointed and would like FDOT to reconsider their position.
Mr. Aufdenberg stated he would like to thank Volusia County, the city of Daytona Beach, Votran or whoever was involved in installing the new sidewalk along Clyde Morris Boulevard. The project did not come through this committee so he does not know who to thank. It is important to him as a bicyclist because that road does not have a shoulder and the speed limit is 45 mph so he chooses to not take a lane; it has improved access and the Votran bus stop is also a huge improvement. There is now a complete sidewalk on both sides of Clyde Morris Boulevard from Beville Road to Dunlawton Avenue. He referred to the Bicycle/Pedestrian Survey FDOT is conducting and encouraged members to complete it; the TPO has sent the information out.
Ms. Belin stated that last month she announced she had attended a focus group meeting in Ormond Beach regarding their Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan; she also attended a public meeting on March 31, 2021. There were approximately 60 people in attendance; the consultant interviewed people in several focus groups for input. She remains in contact with them and has provided them her comments. There will be a follow-up meeting in October.
Mr. Lodge stated he and his wife took a trip to Boynton Beach recently; they took their bikes and just explored and got lost. It was a weekend bike vacation and they enjoyed it so much they are doing it again in New England and Hawaii. He referred to the cities of Deltona and DeBary and their parks and recreation economic plans and stated their desire is to become a bicycle vacation destination. Visitors could ride to Daytona Beach, Sanford or DeLand.
Mr. Coletti directed his comment to Ms. Moss, FDOT; he referred to SR A1A in Flagler Beach from South 8th Street to South 24th Street where FDOT has repaired the road, and requested sharrows and signs be installed that state bikes may take the lane. The summer season is approaching and bicyclists will be riding SR A1A; it is not wide enough for both a vehicle and a bicycle.
Ms. Moss replied she would look into it.
Ms. Ardito commented that regarding Boyton Beach, the city and developers worked together and decided it would be to the developer’s benefit to make everything bike friendly. They have many agreements in place that make it so bikeable. She would like to see something similar occur in Volusia County.
Ms. Burgess-Hall commented her concern with FDOT is the logic behind the new mid-block pedestrian crossings along SR A1A not including APS or stoppage for vehicles. She has not been there yet but has received reports from other people.
Ms. Moss replied she would get with the traffic operations department to get some information.
Ms. Moss referred to the FDOT Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan survey Mr. Aufdenberg mentioned and stated they have already received some responses; she encouraged members to complete it. She referred to Mr. Hamilton’s comments in the chat section regarding speed and stated that is something they will cover in the District 5 Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Plan. She referred to the Florida Bicycle/Pedestrian Safety Coalition and announced she is the District 5 champion for it; there are many resources available for education, encouragement and outreach for local governments to use. She announced this same group has a High Visibility Enforcement Program that is designed to increase awareness; they contract with local law enforcement agencies in high priority locations where there are high bicycle/pedestrian fatalities and serious injuries. Those law enforcement agencies that contract with FDOT can receive funding to do extra enforcement to help improve conditions for people who walk and bike. The contract cycle will begin in July. In Volusia County, Daytona Beach Police Department, Ormond Beach Police Department and Port Orange Police Department all participated. Volusia County, Deltona, DeLand, Holly Hill, South Daytona and New Smyrna Beach did not participate. They will reach out to these law enforcement agencies to participate in the next cycle.
Mr. Aufdenberg stated Bike/Walk Florida has a very good social media campaign where they do high visibility enforcement of crosswalks; he asked if that was part of their program or if it was separate.
Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee Minutes April 14, 2021 Page 7 11 Ms. Moss replied it is a separate program but it is a very good program that everyone should check out.

III. ACTION ITEMS
B. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION 2021-## AMENDING THE CONNECT 2045 LONG RANGE TRANSPORTATION PLAN (ROLL CALL VOTE REQUIRED)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The River to Sea TPO is seeking to amend the Connect 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) to reflect updated funding for the Central Florida Commuter Rail System Phase II North Expansion. This project will make needed track modifications to extend SunRail service from the existing northern terminus at the DeBary station north to the DeLand station.
At the time of adoption of Connect 2045 in September of 2020, this project was not included in the current 5-year TIP and specifics associated with this project, such as project timing and costs, were not known. Accordingly, the project was referenced in Connect 2045 as an aspirational and unfunded transit project. Since the adoption of the long-range transportation plan, funding details have been identified to support the Phase II North connection. The proposed amendment will add this project to the Connect 2045 Coast Feasible Plan.
Public outreach for the Connect 2045 LRTP amendment requires a 30-day notice and comment period, which began on April 25, 2021 and extends to the TPO Board meeting on May 26, 2021.
The proposed amendment includes revisions to Chapter 5, Chapter 6, and Appendix D of Connect 2045. These changes are presented in strike-through and underline format.
Resolution 2021-## and Connect 2045 LRTP Amendment 1 are provided with this agenda packet for your review.

15 Ri er to Sea Transportation Planning Organi ation TPO Conne t ong Range Transportation Plan RTP Amendment 1 O er ie The River to Sea TPO is seeking to amend the Connect 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan to reflect updated funding for the Central Florida Commuter Rail System Phase II North Expansion. This project will make needed track modifications to extend SunRail service from the existing northern terminus at the DeBary station north to the DeLand station.
At the time of adoption of Connect 2045 in September of 2020, the SunRail Phase II North Expansion project was not included in the current five-year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and specifics associated with this project, such as project timing and costs, were not known. Accordingly, the project was referenced in Connect 2045 as an aspirational and unfunded transit project. Since the adoption of the long-range transportation plan, funding details have been identified to support the Phase II North Expansion. The proposed amendment will add this project to the Connect 2045 Coast Feasible Plan.
Materials are provided for public review reflecting the proposed amendment to Connect 2045. Proposed changes in the following Connect 2045 Chapters and Appendix are shown in strike through and underline format:
Chapter 5 - Needs Assessment and Scenario Planning • Text revisions to the SunRail section on Page 5-4 to reflect the programmed funding • Map revisions to Figure 5 to depict the location of the future DeLand SunRail Station
Chapter 6 - Transportation Plan • Revisions to Table 6-9 on Page 6-14 to reflect the funding amount for the SunRail Phase II North Expansion project in the FY 2020/21 FY 2025/26 TIP
Appendix D Long Range Transit Element • Revisions on Page 1 of Long Range Transit Element Table to reflect the funding details forDRAFT the SunRail Phase II North Expansion project shown in the first row

FLAGLER COUNTY PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION Flagler County Government operates the Flagler County Public Transportation (FCPT) service. This service began in 2004 under contract with the Florida Commission for Transportation Disadvantaged and today operates as a pre-scheduled, demand-response transportation system. Demand for services centers on transportation for employment, education, non-emergency medical transportation, and quality of life trips. Specialized services include general passenger assistance and wheelchair assistance. The River to Sea TPO continues to support FCPT in its plans to provide improved service. Most recently the TPO conducted a Fixed Route Service Transit Operations Plan in an e ort to build upon the needs identified in the existing TDP. As of the adoption of Connect 2045, Flagler County is in the process of updating their TDP and is expected to complete the plan by September 2021. The current TDP identifies the following fixed route service:
• Route 1 - Blue Route: Cypress Point Walmart - Bunnell via Belle Terre Parkway/SR 100 • Route 2 - Red Route: Advent Health Hospital - Flagler Beach via SR 100 • Route 3 - Green Route: Cypress Point Walmart - Matanzas High School via Old Kings Road • Route 4 - Black Route: Cypress Point Walmart - Matanzas High School via Belle Terre Parkway • Route 5 - Yellow Route: Cypress Point Walmart - Matanzas High School via Palm Harbor Drive • Route 6 - Orange Route: Cypress Point Walmart - Matanzas High School via Florida Park Drive SUNRAIL SunRail was established as a 61-mile commuter rail system serving Central Florida, of which 49 miles are currently in operation. The 32-mile first phase of SunRail, which opened in 2014, serves 12 stations and links DeBary to Sand Lake Road, south of Orlando. Phase II South, which opened in 2018, serves four additional stations, south to Poinciana. Additionally, tThe original Interlocal Agreement between the partners included a Phase II North expansion which is intended to will extend service from the City of DeBary to the City of DeLand. This Phase II North expansion is programmed for funding in Fiscal Year 2020/21.currently being evaluated by the Central Florida Commuter Rail Commission. The DeBary SunRail station has approximately 300 parking spaces and a bus and passenger drop-off area. Votran provides feeder bus service to the DeBary SunRail station. Three feeder bus routes, funded by the Florida Department of TransportationTransportation (FDOT), serve the SunRail station in DeBary: Routes 31, 32, and 33. These routes operate Monday-Friday during SunRail’s peak hours only. At the time of the adoption of Connect 2045, operations and management of SunRail is under the responsibility of FDOT. Transitionransition to an independent agency for governance is currently being evaluated and a plan is anticipated to be presented in Summer 2022. Once the transition is complete, the TPO expects a more comprehensive planning effort to occur that will address the role of SunRail as part of its long-range planning. DRAFT This plan’s acknowledgement of transit as an integrated part of the long range planning process is evident in Connect 2045’s project prioritization process and technical scoring criteria. Roadway needs projects were scored higher where there are existing transit routes on the corridor and if the project provides connections to multimodal hubs/stations (e.g. SunRail station, Votran Transfer Plaza, Intermodal Transit Facility). Further discussion regarding the prioritization process and the technical scoring criteria can be found later in this chapter. Additionally, input received during the public involvement process also included support for increased connectivity to transit.

A detailed table including existing, committed, and aspirational transit projects with associated costs can be found in Appendix D. These projects include ehnancements to existing routes, new fixed-routes, trolley/ circulator services, and expanded on-demand service. Existing transit routes and proposed service expansion opportunities are depicted in Figure 5. Bicycle-Pedestrian Needs The TPO has consistently supported the development of bicycle, pedestrian, and regional trails throughout the planning area to provide improved connectivity and mobility options. Consideration of the needs of cyclists and pedestrians is critical in the development of a long range plan. The assessment of roadway project needs must also take into account factors such as safety for cyclists/pedestrians, as well as multimodal connections to other modes (e.g. transit) and regional trail networks. The TPO’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan, an important companion to Connect 2045, serves as the guide for decision-making in prioritizing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Although the identification and advancement of specific bicycle-pedestrian projects takes place outside of the LRTP process, these needs are addressed as a program in Connect 2045. This means that funding set-asides provide for the long-range advancement and implementation of these projects. This is further explained in Chapter 6. Input from the public is also important when planning for future bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure, and implementation of related programs. Through the public involvement process, participants expressed interest and support for safe and connected bike lane networks, trails, and scenic byways. The TPO’s Bicycle/Pedestrian Advisory Committee (BPAC) was also consulted throughout the development of Connect 2045, including the identification of project needs. The BPAC is responsible for reviewing plans, policies and procedures as they relate to bicycle and pedestrian issues in the TPO planning area. Similar to transit, the prioritization process and technical scoring criteria for roadway needs projects considered factors such as whether the project added a new bicycle/pedestrian route (e.g. sidewalk, bicycle lane) or added additional Complete Streets elements. Complete Streets are roadways designed to accommodate all users and may include elements such as sidewalks, bicycle lanes/paved shoulders, dedicated bus lanes, pedestrian crossings, and roundabouts. Figure 6 depicts Regional Trail needs which consist of corridors identified as part of the Florida Greenways and Trails System and Shared-UseDRAFT Nonmotorized (SUN) Trail Network, and are consistent with the TPO’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan.

IV. PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE DRAFT FY 2021/22 TO 2025/26 TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (TIP)
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The TPO is required by 23 U.S.C. 134(j) Florida Statute 339.175 to develop a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). The TIP is a program of transportation projects covering a period of five years. The TIP is developed and formally adopted by the TPO each year. It must be consistent with the Long Range Transportation Plan, and required for projects to be eligible for funding under title 23 U.S.C. and title 49 U.S.C. Chapter 53. The TIP is developed in cooperation with FDOT, local governments, public transit operators and the public.
The TIP lists capital and non-capital surface transportation projects supported with state and/or federal funds. Also required to be included are all regionally significant projects requiring an action by FHWA or FTA regardless of funding source and projects that implement paratransit plans required for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. Florida law also requires the TIP to include a list of locally and privately-funded projects for informational purposes. Due to its relatively large size we are providing the draft TIP and a report comparing the draft TIP to the current adopted TIP for viewing and downloading from the TPO’s website at:

IV. PRESENTATIONS AND DISCUSSION ITEMS
D. PRESENTATION AND DISCUSSION OF THE REVISED DRAFT LIST OF SHARED USE NON-MOTORIZED (SUN) TRAIL PROJECTS
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
In 2015, the Shared-Use Non-Motorized (SUN) Trail Network was created by the Florida Legislature as a component of the Florida Greenways and Trails System. The network consists of multiuse trails separated from motor vehicle traffic and constructed with an asphalt or concrete surface. The draft List of SUN Trail Projects is not prioritized. All projects on the draft list are considered “Tier A” (one or more phases funded in the FDOT five-year work program) or “Tier B” (projects ready for funding). The revised draft List of SUN Trail Projects is provided with this agenda packet for your review. Revised text is underlined (additions) or stricken (deletions).
ACTION REQUESTED:
NO ACTION IS REQUIRED UNLESS OTHERWISE DIRECTED BY THE BPAC
