CONSENT AGENDA
6. 2016-2025 MTIP Additions/Modifications Mr. Pierceall asked for a motion to approve the Consent agenda item or pull it for discussion. The MTIP amendment extends a sidewalk construction project schedule to allow additional time for planning and design, delaying ROW from FY 16 to FY 17 and construction from FY 17 to FY 18 at the request of the municipality.

Mr. Humphries motioned to approve the 2016-2025 MTIP amendment for project #C-5623 on Cramer Mountain Road from Baltimore Drive to S. New Hope Road. Mr. Turner seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
REGULAR AGENDA
7. CTP Map Amendment Mr. Paredes explained that the CTP map amendment was required in order to amend the Catawba Crossings’ functional classification from freeway to boulevard. He further explained that the amendment is a necessary modification for the project’s SPOT 5.0 submittal at the Regional Tier.
Mr. Turner ask why we are making this specific change and Mr. Bailey with NCDOT explained that this change makes our CTP designation consistent with the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization’s CTP map designation.
Mr. Hutchins expressed that this project was divisional in scope and not regional.
After vigorous discussion from various members and staff, a motion was made.
Mr. Humphries motioned to approve the CTP map amendment as presented. Mr. Bishop seconded the motion and the motion passed with one dissenting vote from Mr. Hutchins.
8. 2045 MTP Financial Assumptions Mr. Paredes explained that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) requires a financial plan as part of all Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTP). The MTP covers all modes of transportation and must be fiscally constrained with respect to anticipated future transportation revenues.
He further explained that Financial Assumptions for the 2045 MTP have been developed by MPO staff in consultation with NCDOT and adjacent MPOs. These assumptions will be used to create fiscally constrained project lists for the 25-year MTP by established horizon years: 1. 2018-2025 2. 2026-2035 3. 2036-2045
The following assumptions are included: • TIP revenue assumptions have been provided by NCDOT • Estimated GCLMPO population numbers were used to determine the percentage of
11 available funding for each STI funding category (Regional or Divisional). o NC Budget and Management 2015 Standard Estimates were used to update population shares in the 2045 MTP • 2% annual inflation rate o It was verified that this is a reasonable approach with NCDOT, FHWA, and the other MPOs in the region
Mr. Paredes stated that a decision must be made as to the percentage of funds to go to non- highway projects. In the 2040 MTP, 13% was the recommended set aside funding percentage for non-highway projects. No less than 4% is mandated to use for non-highway projects, but no more than 15%.
After brief discussion from various members and staff, a motion was made.
Mr. Permenter motioned to approve all financial assumptions as proposed. Mayor Beam seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
9. 2045 MTP Fiscally Constrained Draft Project Lists Ms. Gates stated that using ranking criteria approved by the MPO Board in May, as well as the financial assumptions in the previous agenda item, GCLMPO staff has developed fiscally- constrained draft project lists for highway, bicycle and pedestrian, aviation, and public transportation for the 2045 MTP.
She explained to the Board that once approved, a 30-day public comment period will need to run from August 1 to 30, 2017, and the following public meetings have been scheduled:
1. August 23rd, 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM; Lincoln County Citizen’s Center; Lincolnton, NC, 2. August 24th, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM; Gastonia City Hall; Gastonia, NC, and 3. August 24th, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM; “Shelby Alive”; Shelby, NC.
After presentation, review, and discussion of the proposed 2045 MTP projects lists by mode, the Board made a motion.
Mr. Hutchins motioned to approve the draft 2045 MTP fiscally-constrained project lists as presented and to approve a 30-day public comment period (August 1-30, 2017). Mr. Permenter seconded the motion and the motion passed unanimously.
10. Prioritization 5.0 (P5.0) Update Ms. Gates explained that the NCDOT uses a transparent, data-driven method for prioritizing transportation investment decisions called Prioritization. The prioritization process allows potential transportation improvement projects to be submitted to NCDOT for scoring and ranking at the statewide, regional and division tier levels. She further explained that based on approved criteria such as safety, congestion, benefit-cost and local priorities determine whether a project receives funding.
At its May 25, 2017 meeting, the GCLMPO Board approved a transportation project ranking and prioritization methodology for transportation projects included in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). It was understood at that time that the MTP methodology would also be utilized for P5.0 project submittal. By using a similar methodology for both MTP and SPOT projects, it will be easier to generate data-driven scores for all candidate transportation projects and the GCLMPO will know which transportation projects rank high enough for SPOT submittal.
12
Ms. Gates presented the DRAFT P5.0 Project Submittal List which includes projects for all modes that have scored the highest utilizing the approved ranking methodology. She requested that Board members carefully review the DRAFT list to ensure that we are including the highest priority projects for each community and the MPO area. She mentioned that the GCLMPO can submit 26 projects per mode (highway, bike/ped, aviation, and public transportation). GCLMPO staff will also be coordinating with NCDOT Division 12 on projects that they may submit on our behalf.
Ms. Gates informed the Board on the remaining P5.0 schedule:
1. MPO staff will continue to vet DRAFT P5.0 Project Submittals with TCC and Board members 2. MPO staff will coordinate with NCDOT Division 12 staff on potential project submittals 3. MPO staff will test potential project in SPOT On!ine to determine potential scores 4. GCLMPO TCC will review and recommend approval of the FINAL P5.0 Project Submittals at the September 13, 2017 TCC meeting 5. The MPO Board will receive public comment on P5.0 Project Submittals, as well as approve the project list at the September 27, 2017 Board meeting 6. MPO staff will submit projects through SPOT On!ine by the September 29, 2017 deadline
11. State Board of Elections and State Ethics Commission Merged into One New State Board Mr. Pierceall provided background on the State Board of Elections merging with the NC State Ethics Commission. This item was for information only at this time.

CONSENT AGENDA
Agenda Item #6
To: Board Members and Interested Persons From: Randi P. Gates, AICP, Senior Planner Date: September 28, 2017 Subject: 2018-2027 TIP, 2040 MTP Amendments, and Air Quality Conformity Determination
BACKGROUND:
With the adoption of the 2018-2027 TIP by the NCDOT Board of Transportation in August, amendments to the GCLMPO 2040 MTP are required, as well as an air quality conformity determination. The air quality conformity determination is required due to the Clean Air Act’s requirement that an MPO’s plans and programs conform to the purpose of the state implementation plan (SIP) for achieving air quality standards. Conformity to the purpose of the SIP means that the transportation activities will not cause new violations of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), worsen existing violations, or delay timely attainment of the NAAQS.
A public comment period was held July 10 – August 8 to receive comments on all of these associated documents. A total of eleven (11) comments were received. The public comments and responses are attached.
ACTIONS REQUESTED:
1. Approve a Resolution Finding the GCLMPO 2040 MTP and 2018-2027 MTIP in Compliance with the Clean Air Act and Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act 2. Approve a Resolution Adopting the 2018-2022 MTIP 3. Approve a Resolution Adopting an Amendment to the 2040 MTP

45 1.0 Introduction The purpose of this report is to document compliance with the provisions of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) and the Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21). The conformity determination for the FY 2018-2022 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) is based primarily on a regional emissions analysis that utilized the transportation networks in adopted and conforming 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plans (MTPs) and the resulting emissions modeled by the North Carolina Division of Air Quality (NCDAQ). The Transportation Conformity Determination for the 2040 MTP updates for the Metrolina Area [Cabarrus-Rowan Metropolitan Planning Organization (CRMPO) , Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization (GCLMPO), and Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization (CRTPO)] was completed on May 2, 2014. The Conformity Determination Report (CDR) for the 2040 MTP updates is available on the following websites:
Cabarrus-Rowan MPO: http://crmpo.org/Plans/Transportation-Conformity
Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln MPO: http://gclmpo.org/draft-transportation-conformity-report/
Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization: http://www.crtpo.org/plans- programs/metropolitan-transportation-plan
The FY 2018-2022 TIPs for the Metrolina Area (Cabarrus-Rowan MPO, Gaston-Cleveland- Lincoln MPO and the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization) contain a number of project changes which required 2040 MTP amendments and a new Transportation Conformity Determination for the Metrolina Area. The FY 2018-2022 TIP conformity determination for the Metrolina Area includes a new regional emissions analysis that captures all the 2040 MTP project changes to ensure that the FY 2018-2022 TIPs are direct subsets of the 2040 MTPs.
The MPOs and the NCDOT are required by 23 CFR Parts 450 and 500 and 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93 to make a conformity determination on any newly adopted or amended fiscally-constrained MTPs and TIPs. The intent of this report is to document the transportation conformity determination for the FY 2018-2022 TIPs for the Metrolina Area and projects from the FY 2018- 2022 State TIP for the donut area in Union County. In addition, the United States Department of Transportation (USDOT), specifically, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) must make a conformity determination on the MTPs and TIPs in all non-attainment and maintenance areas. The Metrolina Area is maintenance for the 2008 8-hour ozone.
Transportation Conformity Determinations for the 2040 MTP amendments for the Metrolina Area were approved as follows:
Cabarrus-Rowan MPO: TBD Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln MPO: TBD Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization: TBD The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) (for the donut portion in Union 1
46 County in the Metrolina Ozone Maintenance Area): TBD
By these actions, the MPOs and NCDOT demonstrated that the 2040 MTP amendments are consistent with Section 176(c) of the Clean Air Act, the State Implementation Plan (SIP), MAP- 21, and 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93. These conformity demonstrations were documented by the MPOs and NCDOT in this report. This report includes the regional emissions analysis comparison prepared for the 2040 MTP amendments demonstrating that emissions in each of the analysis years of the MTP (2025, 2030, and 2040) are less than the motor vehicle emissions budget established by the SIP in accordance with 40 CFR Part 93 and approved by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). (See Appendix A for details on budgets set in the SIP.)
AMENDED PROJECTS As noted above, the 2040 MTP amendments includes changes in the timing of projects included in the FY 2018-2022 TIP for the Metrolina Area. Changes in the horizon years for these regionally-significant projects resulted in having to do new regional emissions analysis for this transportation conformity determination. As agreed upon by the interagency consultation partners, the regional emissions analysis work for this process began on March 27, 2017 and was completed on June 12, 2017. Details related to the interagency consultation associated with this conformity determination can be found in Appendix D.
Non-exempt projects that represent a change in timing of an existing MTP project may be required to be part of travel demand model assumptions for the appropriate analysis year. All projects in this amendment are included in the travel model assumptions for the appropriate horizon year. This amendment also provides an opportunity to incorporate the most current cost estimates as required in the fiscal constraint requirements for the MTPs. No significant overall cost or fiscal capacity changes are associated with the changes of costs for some projects. This conformity analysis will focus on the project changes presented below:

AMENDED FISCAL CONSTRAINT DETERMINATION
As part of the federal transportation planning requirements 23 CFR Parts 450 and 500 for MTPs, the costs of implementing transportation programs and projects included in MTPs are compared with the funding expected to be available. These MTPs’ financial analyses were developed in response to the requirements for “financially constrained plans”.
These MTPs consider capital costs and operation and maintenance (O&M) costs associated with the preservation and continued operation of the existing transportation system, as well as the costs associated with the recommended expansion of the transportation networks included in the MTPs. The MTPs also describe revenues from all sources that will be available to pay for capital and O&M costs. Each MTP describes in detail its own financing plan.
Assumptions for revenues and expenditures are the same as shown in the original 2040 MTP Conformity Determination Report because overall costs of projects did not change significantly.
2.0 Relationship of the MTP and TIP In accordance with 40 CFR Parts 51 and 93, the TIP is a direct subset of the MTP if the following conditions are met:
The TIP is consistent with the conforming MTP such that the regional emissions analysis performed on the MTP applies to the TIP;
The TIP contains all projects which must be started in the TIP’s timeframe to implement the highway and transit system envisioned by the MTP in each of its horizon years;
All federally funded TIP projects which are regionally significant are part of the specific highway or transit system envisioned in the MTP horizon years; and 4
49
The design concept and scope of each regionally significant project identified in the TIP is not significantly different from that described in the MTP.
The number of travel lanes of each regionally significant project identified in the TIP is not significantly different from that described in the MTP.
This report documents that the TIPs for FY 2018-2022 are a direct subset of the 2040 MTPs for the Cabarrus-Rowan MPO, the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln MPO, the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization and the projects from the donut area in Union County that is the responsibility of the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The 2040 MTPs for these areas are fiscally constrained and are consistent with 23 CFR Part 450 Subpart C. This conformity determination is based on the most recent estimates of the emissions and the most recent planning assumptions (including population, employment, travel and congestion estimates available) as determined by the appropriate MPOs and NCDOT. It has been demonstrated in the Conformity Determination Report that the 2040 MTPs conform to the provisions of the CAAA of 1990 and MAP-21. Also, the 2040 MTPs conform to the purpose of the SIP in accordance with 40 CFR Part 93.
Copies of the 2018-2022 TIPs and the FY 2018-2022 STIP (for the donut portion in Union County) are attached to this report in Appendix C.
3.0 Latest Planning Assumptions The planning assumptions used to develop the Conformity Determination Report are the latest planning assumptions in the 2040 MTP that were approved by the respective MPOs and NCDOT. Estimates of future population and employment are less than five years old. The vehicle age distribution and fleet mix distributions used as input to the emission model were based on the current data from North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles. This data is also less than five years old.
4.0 Interagency Consultation The FY 2018-2022 TIP has undergone interagency consultation as required in the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A Subpart 2D 2002-2003 inclusive. Interagency consultation meetings involving the MPOs, NCDOT, NCDAQ, FHWA and USEPA- Region 4 were held on March 14, 2017, June 6, 2017 and July 13, 2017. A summary of issues raised and responses, along with any written agency comments, are provided in Appendix D.
5.0 Public Involvement The FY 2018-2022 TIP was reviewed by the public in accordance with the Public Involvement Policies of the Cabarrus-Rowan MPO, the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln MPO, the Charlotte Regional Transportation Planning Organization and the NCDOT. This report was also made available for public review by the Rocky River Rural Planning Organization (RPO). Copies of citizen comments and agency responses to them are attached to this report in Appendix E. The newspaper advertisements for public review and comment period are attached to this report in Appendix F. 5

# Name Organization Address E-Mail Date Received Comment Response
I’m new to Gaston county. And unfortunately, I’m out of town on the 3rd, that’s why I’m sending an email. In regards to the newspaper article in the Good News Gaston on July 25th, 2017 on the front page, I would like to see more bicycle lanes in our area (near Bethesda Oaks), corner of Titman and S. New Hope Road. Not only would it benefit my family, but our community too, including the school on the corner (Piedmont Charter High Your comment has been received and will be shared with NCDOT and the Town of Cramerton as we begin Bethesda Oaks, 1 Julie Brame Citizen [email protected] 7/27/2017 School). With a growing epidemic of childhood obesity, adulthood diabetes and obesity on the rise, in this region of North Carolina, we could all benefit from this being available. I believe tying it in with Project #U5821 to scope out the widening project on S New Hope Rd. The Town is underway with a Bicycle Plan for the Gastonia could be useful… if your expanding the street what better time to make a bike lane. What a fabulous experience it is to bike to the grocery store with a backpack on your back, & come home with groceries for dinner. Town and S New Hope Rd is within the Town’s limits for a small stretch. Please consider this worthy investment! For our community and especially our future…children. 2 Trish Patrick Citizen [email protected] 8/1/2017 Strongly support planning for NC 73 expansion and BUS 16 expansion and all supporting intersections. The widening of NC 73 is a funded project in the 2018-2027 STIP (R-5721 and R-5859). Using an existing crossing of the Catawba River through passenger rail service would help eliminate congestion on I-85 using existing rail right-of-way. Service would start in Kings Mountain as the western most stop. The GCLMPO staff completed the Gastonia Rapid Transit Alternatives Study: Corridor and Modal Options Traveling through Gastonia, Belmont, Charlotte Douglas Airport, downtown Charlotte, and into the transit center. From there passengers can be bused to all points in Charlotte. This reduces CO2 emissions by reducing cars 3 Scott Neisler City of Kings Mountain Kings Mountain [email protected] 8/3/2017 in 2005. In the upcoming 2045 MTP Update, GCLMPO staff will continue to look at and promote rapid traveling on I-85. Also increasing ridership to points past Charlotte. We have more demand for projects than funds to pay for it. We have to be smarter in using existing transportation right-of-ways. I realize that it will take transit including passenger rail. negotiations with Norfolk Southern, but the time to start is now. With a timetable of being ready to start within 8 to 10 years. Thank you for accepting my comments.
The existing Gaston Parkway on the GCLMPO CTP map currently begins at I-485 in Mecklenburg County and heads west through southern Gaston County and connects to US 321 north of Dallas. GCLMPO staff 4 Scott Neisler City of Kings Mountain Kings Mountain [email protected] 8/3/2017 The Gaston Parkway project needs to be planned as an outerbelt road to I-485. Connecting Catawba Crossing to I-485 and going west to Exit 10 moving north to connect to Hwy 16. will make this comment available to the TCC and MPO Board, at which time a discussion can occur regarding a CTP map amendment to extend this future road from US 321 to NC 16 within Gaston County.

The Catawba Crossings project is included in the GCLMPO CTP, as well as a project listed in the 2040 MTP. 6 John Scheitler Citizen Belmont 8/3/2017 We are in extreme need for the Catawba Crossing bridge linking Belmont (South Point Rd) to Charlotte. I have lived in Belmont for 3 years and the traffic is worse every year. Moving forward, the GCLMPO will be submitting the Catawba Crossings project for ranking and prioritization in P5.0 for funding in the future 2020-2029 STIP. The Catawba Crossings project is included in the GCLMPO CTP, as well as a project listed in the 2040 MTP. 7 Steve Mundy Citizen Gastonia [email protected] 8/3/2017 More ways across the Catawba River Moving forward, the GCLMPO will be submitting the Catawba Crossings project for ranking and prioritization in P5.0 for funding in the future 2020-2029 STIP.

REGULAR AGENDA
Agenda Item #7
To: Board Members and Interested Persons From: Randi P. Gates, AICP, Senior Planner Date: September 28, 2017 Subject: 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) Fiscally-Constrained Project Lists
BACKGROUND:
Utilizing approved ranking criteria and financial assumptions, fiscally-constrained project lists for highway, bicycle and pedestrian, aviation, and public transportation were developed for the draft 2045 MTP.

GCLMPO staff plans to submit Beaty Road as a modernization project to improve the roadway to current Thank you for being willing to take citizen input. I've found out about this via the website. Here's an important matter that is needed to be heard for political and tax reasons, as voters could be design standards by increasing the lane and/or shoulder width, as well as adding turn lanes at intersection to help improve organized against a status quo in our area, that is glaring: In Gaston County just South of New Hope Rd, Beaty Road is in urgent need of expanding. Beaty Road all the way to Union Road below it. The through lane mobility. road is very dangerous (regular accidents due to the closeness of opposite traffic cars) and even 6 inches can mean the difference between a serious accident or injury. This should have a paved median of some type, or four lanes. There is no shoulder either, which would help. Local residents are talking about the roads being badly outdated in a big way, which you all need to take seriously for political voting reasons. I myself cringe every time I have to drive with my family in tow opposite of a huge Ryder moving truck or a semi or a large utility truck. Passing is too close on this narrow old road, it needs to be replaced. This is why I'm bothering to write about it to you. We have a lot of voters, we're made up of lots of neighborhoods like Eagles Walk, Kinmere, and Catawba Hills, plus 3 David Keuss Citizen Gastonia [email protected] 8/1/2017 others. To us neighbors it seems like our large amount of tax dollars are not helping improve anything near where we live. I wanted to give the team there a fair heads up to improve Beaty Road as well as Union Road near Patrick and Beaty Road, so that it is not a 1940's/1950's narrow roadway that is very dangerous. This needs to be an organized political petition if nothing really change except a fairly useless online map. The residents here, it is worth noting, joke around with each other about the long-term road plans on the online maps as never going to happen. This is because of decades of nothing happening, they've learned to be skeptical of any promise on this. This is not a good consensus developing in this area about how we're being held back in a critical service (good roads). I believe that a fix to Beaty & Union is a good solution for you all politically and also for safety of citizens. Both are good reasons to act, a win-win. This is also an obstacle to growth of this area, which is not good for the county/region's competitiveness if the roads are the same as they were in the 1950's. I would like to let you know there are a lot of us who are as voters happy being ignored with the bad shape and narrow nature of Beaty Road and Union Road near Beaty/Patrick. Hopefully you all take this seriously. If not, I'll help organize the petitions and newspaper articles to get it to happen.

Date # Name Organization Address E-Mail Comment Response Received The final phases of the Shelby Bypass are designated as sibling/carryover projects to the initial project phases currently under construction. The final phases are considered funded in the 2018-2027 STIP.
Included in this letter are my public comments related to the 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan and other related issues. I am also supportive of many other projects on the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), but my comments in this letter are related to some of the most important projects in our area. I realize that many of my comments are about projects that are already being contemplated and/or prioritized. Within the boundaries of the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization (GCLMPO), and other planning organizations across the United States, prioritization is important. Lawsuits in 1206 Legislative Bldg Rep. Kelly E. state and federal court, federal permitting requirements, and financial constraints can hinder projects from moving forward; those of us who serve in state government neither control the federal 14 House Representative 16 W Jones St [email protected] 8/14/2017 Hastings procedural rules nor the federal permitting requirements. Nobody knows when lawsuits and/or the threat of lawsuits will end, if ever, and we can’t force the federal officials to change the permitting Raleigh, NC 27601-1096 process. Therefore, we need to move forward with projects that can actually start and/or be completed. At the federal level, there are also numerous laws, regulations, and conformity issues that can’t be ignored. No major transportation project gets built without the approval of the federal government; this includes most, if not all, new-location bridges and roads. Lawsuits, fiscal constraints, and other hurdles related to new-location highways and bridges are driving my decision to support projects that can actually start and/or be completed. For example, the final phases of the Shelby bypass and other projects recently received prioritization points; I contacted many of the MPO members and the division engineer to advocate for these points. The first phases of the bypass started under a previous formula, before the Strategic Transportation Investments (STI) law. Therefore, we had to prioritize projects and advocate for the prioritization points, especially if a project did not score as well as expected. We spent years working with MPO members and the division engineer to make sure other projects, including a toll road that could not be built, did not financially constrain projects that could progress. Statewide Mobility projects are 100% data drive and therefore not eligible to receive local prioritization/input points. The previously proposed Dallas Cherryville Highway widening from 2 to 4 lanes did not score well for P4.0. Since that time, Widening I-85 from N.C. 273 to U.S. 321 in Gaston County is a statewide mobility project; it did not need prioritization points. It is one of the most, if not the most, extensive statewide mobility projects Division 12 has proposed a safety improvement project which will add 4 passing zones at various points along the corridor. in Division 12. We are not sure how other phases of I-85’s widening and other projects will score in the prioritization process, but they might need scarce prioritization points. I’m advocating for these The S Main Street (SR 1001) bridge over the railroad, just south of NC 150? According to the NCDOT Bridge Replacement and other projects that can start and/or be completed. website, the bridge is listed as a functionally obsolete, but not structurally deficient, with an overall sufficiency rating of By the way, I support the widening of I-85 without tolls. I use the word “toll” to refer to the common understanding of tolls and toll lanes. In fact, I spoke against the tolling of I-85 in Gaston and 46.96. It also has a Posted Single Truck Weight of 14 tons and a Posted Tractor-Trailer Semi-Truck Weight of 19 tons. Cleveland counties when a former member of the GCLMPO suggested tolling. The two remaining I-85 widening project phases/segments will be scored in P5.0. STIP #I-5985 (I -85 widening from US 74 to Other projects within the GCLMPO and the division are important. According to the division engineer, the Dallas-Cherryville Highway improvements seem to be moving forward. We advocated for the SC Line) from 4 to 6 lanes is in the developmental STIP and the potential exist for this project to be combined with the I- these improvements for years and we appreciate the support we’re receiving from the staff at Division 12. 85 widening segment from US 321 to US 74 as one environmental document.

Improving the turn lanes and replacing the bridge would greatly enhance mobility and safety. This project should be prioritized. Widening projects for U.S. 29/74 including bridge replacements across the South Fork River - Bridge 82 (350082) and the 1206 Legislative Bldg Rep. Kelly E. Improving N.C. 150 is important to Gaston, Cleveland and Lincoln counties and the whole state. We are pleased with the recent resurfacing projects on N.C. 150 and we understand the improvements widening of Wilkinson/Franklin Boulevard including a bridge replacement project across the Catawba River - Bridge 91 15 House Representative 16 W Jones St [email protected] 8/14/2017 Hastings at the intersection of 74/Marion Street and N.C. 150 are viewed favorably. In fact, I’ve mentioned to some of our GCLMPO members and others that improving/widening N.C. 150 is important, and I (350091) will both be submitted as P5.0 Regional Tier highway projects. Raleigh, NC 27601-1096 told them they need to prioritize this project. We do not need to waste time on projects that face extraordinary hurdles. Improving N.C. 150 and other projects might need prioritization points and we don’t need to add frivolous projects to fiscally constrained lists that will unnecessarily constrain funds and waste scarce prioritization points. I am supportive of improvements to U.S. 29/74 and Wilkinson/Franklin Boulevard. Replacing bridges and improving Wilkinson/Franklin Boulevard, which is called Build a Better Boulevard, will be great for this division, region and state. Replacing and widening the Catawba River Bridge 91 (350091) to six lanes is important. The current bridge is dangerously narrow. Replacing and widening Bridge 82 (350082), where it crosses the South Fork, to six lanes is also important. It seems dangerously narrow and inhibits efficient commercial freight passage on the vital U.S. 74 corridor; replacement to meet modern standards seems in order and should help with development, access, and safety. This is important to the people of the division, region and state, and both bridge replacements to six lanes will improve access to the airport in Charlotte and the proposed River District. I also support digitalized traffic signals as part of this project. Build a Better Boulevard and digitalized signals could greatly enhance access to the airport in Charlotte and the proposed River District in Mecklenburg County.
Comments made here focus on the wide array of projects discussed planned and funded and now are under construction within GCLMPO geographic area. Our focus on improving and resurfacing and paving rural roads is paying off and we need to continue this effort. Many people in our state comment about how they are pleased with the resurfacing of so many roads. We are thankful for the ongoing support. I received great responses from NCDOT personnel when we had problems with bridges near Alexis, Stanley, and High Shoals, and I received courteous and prompt responses when we had problems with the Buffalo Creek Bridge and other bridges in our area. Some bridge replacements and other projects have been delayed by federal permitting requirements; the division engineer keeps us informed about the progress. Those of us serving in state government don’t control the federal permitting process. NCDOT personnel promptly updated me on the progress of the project on Sparrow Springs Road in Gaston County. The widening of N.C. 180 in Cleveland County appears to be moving forward and the new weigh station near Bessemer City is an asset for the whole state. Improving the Lower Dallas Highway is another worthwhile project that is important. 1206 Legislative Bldg Rep. Kelly E. As a side note, CSX improved numerous railroad crossings in our area, and we are thankful for their responses and efforts. 16 House Representative 16 W Jones St [email protected] 8/14/2017 Hastings There is a complicated mix of state and federal transportation law, and it is not my goal to oppose projects for the sake of opposing projects. For example, at least one toll project fiscally constrained Raleigh, NC 27601-1096 other key projects within the current GCLMPO boundaries. Under the new STI law, the toll road scored poorly, and it was entangled in a federal lawsuit. Due to these and other reasons, I decided to support other projects that could move forward. I can’t possibly mention every important project, but I am hopeful that the prioritization process will continue. My comments are focused on projects in or close to the 110th House District; however, as a House Transportation Committee chairman, I work with people to improve transportation projects that positively impact all of North Carolina. We are aware that N.C. Transportation Secretary Jim Trogdon, before becoming secretary, helped bring the national momentum of strategic transportation investments to our state. Others filed the bill, but he helped bring the issue to the table. Thankfully, hundreds of millions of dollars will be invested in all types of transportation infrastructure within our MPO and division, and billions will be invested statewide, in the near future. Common-sense prioritization efforts, accountability, efficiency, and support from the taxpayers make these and future investments possible.

Stony Point Rd. was much lighter than it is today. Not only has the Town of Waco grown in those 62 years, so have the surrounding communities. The daily volume of cars, trucks and busses that cross the bridge would have had to more than triple in the past 6 decades. The bridge is showing wear and needs to be strongly considered for replacement. Another area of concern with the current bridge 52 John Barrett Mayor, Town of Waco [email protected] 8/24/2017 would be its weight capacity. In 1955 the traffic crossing the bridge would have been mainly passenger cars and light trucks. Daily traffic today includes multiple tractor-trailer 18 wheelers; Case Farm feed trucks, and other dual and triple axel trucks hauling commerce into, out of and through the Waco Community. We are concerned for the continued safety of all persons crossing the bridge and would be interested in opening communications to address its replacement.

Catawba Crossings also would provide new and improved access to and from I485 both north and south and to I77 both north and south. In addition to the project’s impact throughout the larger region, it would provide new and improved access to and from Charlotte Douglas Airport and its intermodal Center for southern Gaston County, Belmont, Gastonia, Cramerton, McAdenville, Mount Holly and northern York County.

It's my belief that our great community will continue our unique identity as we become more accessible to Mecklenburg County, and that we need to embrace the geographic proximity and foster positive relations with Charlotte and Mecklenburg. Stronger access will foster those relationships. Mary Catherine 67 Citizen Gastonia, NC [email protected] 8/30/2017 Walker I personally drive in to Charlotte for graduate school classes and other meetings at least twice a week. Last week, I was stuck in traffic on I-85S for about 45 minutes in a 2 mile stretch (where 485 merges into 85). Forty-five minutes for 2 miles! That made the over all travel time from my destination (normally 30 minutes) over an hour. This takes away from time that our residents could spend working, being with their families or serving our community. If there were another option for commuters to utilize, a lot of these quality of life traffic issues could be alleviated.

The roads in this area are the same as they have been for more than 30 years, two lane road with soft shoulders. 71 Wil Neumann Citizen Cramerton, NC [email protected] 8/30/2017 South Carolina is sending more and more people North through Belmont and Cramerton as they head to work in downtown Charlotte or North Mecklenburg. Traffic is increasing and our road are the same. The Catawba Crossings project is included in the GCLMPO CTP, as well as a project listed in the 2040 MTP. Moving forward, Growth is here and we need to plan. Fifty percent of the resident of Gaston County live in in the East and Southeast of the county and they are closer to the $16 Billion Economic engine that is Charlotte the GCLMPO will be submitting the Catawba Crossings project for ranking and prioritization in P5.0 for funding in the future Douglas International Airport. They just finished a $1.2 B expansion and have begun work on a $2 B expansion that will include a 12,000-foot runway for non-stop flights to Asia. 2020-2029 STIP. 72 Wil Neumann Citizen Cramerton, NC [email protected] 8/30/2017 As a community, we must also address the 19 million tons of coal ash at the Allen plant, Belmont. This coal ash can be used in many processes to provide concrete for retention wall blocks, sound barrier along the Phase I of the I-85 widening project, and bridge material for 13 new bridges and 6 new interchanges along this project. The concrete can be used to build the Catawba Crossing and the new airport runway that will need more than 7.2 million cubic feet of concrete just for the runway. Let’s work together in the Charlotte Metro Region to keep industry, residents and their tax dollars in North Carolina instead of sending them south. The Catawba Crossings project is included in the GCLMPO CTP, as well as a project listed in the 2040 MTP. Moving forward, As the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce, I want to express my support and that of our Chamber for the Catawba Crossings project that is currently the GCLMPO will be submitting the Catawba Crossings project for ranking and prioritization in P5.0 for funding in the future being reviewed by the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Planning Organization. 2020-2029 STIP.
Gaston Regional Chamber of Catawba Crossings will provide a much needed additional connection to I-485, the Charlotte-Douglas International Airport, the emerging River District, and Mecklenburg County in general. 73 Brad Drury Gastonia, NC [email protected] 8/30/2017 Commerce Gaston County currently has only four crossing over the river with none of them located in the southern part of our county.
Catawba Crossings will be an important vehicle to aid in the continued economic health of our region as well as relieve congestion in our transportation corridors. On behalf of the Gaston Regional Chamber of Commerce, I want to thank you for the opportunity to express my support for this effort. Please let me know if you have any questions.
The Catawba Crossings project is included in the GCLMPO CTP, as well as a project listed in the 2040 MTP. Moving forward, the GCLMPO will be submitting the Catawba Crossings project for ranking and prioritization in P5.0 for funding in the future 2020-2029 STIP. On behalf of CaroMont Health, I wish to commend the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Municipal Planning Organization on the thoroughness of this review and the efforts made to engage with citizens and businesses in this important endeavor. I am pleased to submit these comments pertaining to the Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln Metropolitan Transportation Plan in support of the Catawba Crossings Project and urge managing parties to make the implementation of this project a top priority for citizens in our county and across the region. CaroMont Health is an independent healthcare system headquartered in Gastonia. Anchored by CaroMont Regional Medical Center, a 435-bed acute care hospital, the system has facilities and physician offices in five counties and two states. The expansive scope of our healthcare system, both in service offerings and geography, requires that our patients, medical teams and employees rely on our county to provide the needed infrastructure and services. At CaroMont Health, three key groups are at the center of every decision we make - our patients and their families, our employees and our community. We have considered them in the comments to follow. There is a well-known saying in healthcare that states, "Time is tissue." For major health crises like heart attacks, stroke and trauma, time is of the essence. Every second counts when a major organ is 2525 Court Drive Gastonia, deprived of adequate oxygen, and in these moments, quick access to health care facilities is critical. The shutdown of a roadway or major traffic delay could, in some cases, mean the difference 74 Chris Peek CaroMont Health [email protected] 8/30/2017 NC 28054 between recovery and permanent damage to a person's health. The Catawba Crossings Project would serve to relieve congestion across the region's road networks, make our roadways safer and alleviate delays not only for general transit, but for emergency response as well. Every day, families are moving in and businesses are considering our region for relocation. We are mere miles from the 5th busiest airport in the country and the 6th in the world - things are happening here, and we must be sure our infrastructure can support an influx of commerce and industry. The approval and expedited implementation of this plan is critical to support the population and economic growth coming to our region. In a state that grows by nearly 100,000 people each year, with nearly half of that growth happening in Wake and Mecklenburg Counties, being poised to accommodate this growth and use it to strengthen our local economy is critical. Additionally, we must make useable land accessible to major roadways - a key component of economic growth and development - and we must have bypasses and connectors that allow for the transport of goods and services without detour or delay. In closing, our vision at CaroMont Health is to promote individual health and vibrant communities. We firmly believe the forward movement of this project will help our community achieve both. CaroMont Health appreciates the opportunity to provide these comments in support of this project and the benefit it provides our community.
The Catawba Crossings project is included in the GCLMPO CTP, as well as a project listed in the 2040 MTP. Moving forward, Gaston Regional Chamber of This access [Catawba Crossings] is essential to the future of Gaston County. The reasons have been eloquently stated.

Agenda Item #8
To: Board Members and Interested Persons From: Randi P. Gates, AICP, Senior Planner Date: September 28, 2017 Subject: Prioritization 5.0 (P5.0)
BACKGROUND:
NCDOT uses a transparent, data-driven method for prioritizing transportation investment decisions. Through the process, called “Prioritization (P)”, potential transportation improvement projects are submitted to NCDOT to be scored and ranked at the statewide, regional and division levels, based on approved criteria such as safety, congestion, benefit-cost and local priorities. These scores and other factors are used to determine whether a project receives funding.
At its May 25, 2017 meeting, the GCLMPO Board approved a transportation project ranking and prioritization methodology for transportation projects included in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). It was understood at that time that the MTP methodology would also be utilized for P5.0 project submittal.
The DRAFT P5.0 Project Submittal List includes projects for all modes that have scored the highest utilizing the approved ranking methodology for the 2045 MTP. Following a recommendation from the MTP/P5.0 Subcommittee, projects were vetted with the local communities as well as NCDOT to develop the list of 26 projects per mode (highway, bicycle/pedestrian, aviation, and public transportation) that can be submitted for P5.0 scoring.
MPO staff has worked to input projects (in draft form) into SPOT On!ine to get preliminary scores. Due to some projects scoring lower, MPO staff has tested additional projects for discussion by the MPO Board. Preliminary scores will be provided at the Board Meeting.
NEXT STEPS:
1. The MPO Board will receive public comment on P5.0 Project Submittals, as well as approve the project list at the September 28, 2017 Board meeting. 2. MPO staff will submit projects through SPOT On!ine by the September 29, 2017 deadline. 3. All quantitative scores will be released by the end of March 2018 as well as the draft list of programmed Statewide Mobility projects. 4. GCLMPO will assign local input points to Regional Impact projects beginning in April with the draft list of programmed Regional Impact projects released by the end of August 2018. 5. GCLMPO will assign local input points to Division Needs projects beginning in September. 6. The 2020-2029 Draft STIP is scheduled to be released in January 2019.
ACTION REQUESTED: Discuss and approve the P5.0 Project Submittals

TCC ACTION: Recommended approval of the draft P5.0 Project Submittal List and also supported MPO staff testing additional projects to identify those that may score better. TCC requested that MPO staff share project scores with them prior to the MPO Board meeting so they can better prep their respective Board members.

Gaston-Cleveland-Lincoln MPO (GCLMPO) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Project Ranking Process
APPROVED BY THE MPO: September 22, 2016September 28, 2017
BACKGROUND AND PROCESS: This ranking process is used to evaluate and prioritize CMAQ projects for funding within the GCLMPO region. The MPO has $2.9 million to assign for projects in Federal Fiscal Years 2018-2019. These funds require a minimum 20 percent local match, and the MPO has established a minimum $250,000 CMAQ cost share for candidate projects. For projects competing for partial funding, MPO staff will coordinate with affected project sponsors to see if they can accept partial funding, or would require full funding to proceed. In the event that partial funding The MPO may decide to fund a less expensive, lower-ranking project, or leave the remaining funds unassigned and offer them to other projects as requested.
PROJECT RANKING CRITERIA
1. Pollutant Reduction (25 30 points possible): This is the most important consideration for a project. How many kilograms of the four main pollutants: Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Particulate Matter 2.5 microns in diameter (PM 2.5), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), and Carbon Monoxide (CO), will the project reduce over the lifetime of the project? NOx, due to its role in Ozone formation, is the most important pollutant in the region, with PM the second most important. VOCs and CO are currently not found in high enough concentrations to significantly affect air quality, so emission reductions are not considered as a part of the pollutant reduction in this process. The MPO will perform the calculations based on information provided by the applicant, and review by a GCLMPO project ranking committee.
Pollutant reductions are calculated by taking the calculated yearly NOx reductions and 25 percent of the PM 2.5 reductions, and then summing the two numbers. This yearly number is then multiplied by the number of years in the project lifetime. The result is the lifetime pollutant reduction.
EXAMPLE: A project will annually reduce NOx by 1,000 kilograms per year and PM2.5 by 1,000 kilograms per year. The applicant would take all of the NOx benefits and 250 kilograms (25 percent) of the PM2.5 reductions, and sum them. The net pollutant reduction would then be 1,250 kilograms.
The generalized project lifetimes are as follows:
a. Bus Purchase- see Federal Transit Administration schedule for lifetime b. Transit Operations Improvements- length of program funding c. Park and Ride Lots- 20 years d. Intersection Improvements- 10 years
- 1 - 121 e. Signal Improvements- 5 years f. HOV/ HOT Lanes- 20 years g. Telecommuting Center- 10 years h. Advocacy and Education- length of program funding i. TMO and TMAs- length of program funding j. Sidewalks, Bike Lanes, and Greenways- 20 years k. ITS Capital Improvements- 10 years l. ITS Operations Improvements- 3 years m. Truck Stop Electrification- 10 years n. Retrofit Technology- 5 years o. Other Project- see GCLMPO staff
The lifetime pollutant reduction point breakdown is as follows: a. 100,000 or more kilograms removedover 250 kg = 25 30 points b. 75,000-99,999200-250 kilograms removed = 20 25 points c. 50,000-74,999150-199.9 kilograms removed = 15 20 points d. 10,000-49,999100-149.9 kilograms removed = 10 15 points e. Less than 10,00050-99.9 kilograms removed = 5 10 points e.f. Less than 50 kilograms removed = 0 points
2. Project Cost Effectiveness (20 points possible): What is the CMAQ cost per kilogram of pollutant removed over the life of the project, with kilograms removed defined by the weighting process from Criteria #1? Projects that fall in the more-cost effective categories will receive additional points. The category breakdowns are as follows: a. $24.99 or lessLess than $5,000 per kilogram removed = 20 points b. $25.00-$49.99$5,000-$6,999 per kilogram removed =15 points c. $50.00-$99.99$7,000-$9,999 per kilogram removed = 10 points d. $100.00-$199.99$10,000-$11,999 per kilogram removed = 5 points e. $200.00$12,000 or more per kilogram removed = 0 points
3. Transportation Impact (15 points possible): Will the proposed project improve the transportation system? Will it improve freight movement or non-single occupant vehicle (SOV) travel? Will the project address an identified non-vehicular safety issue? If it reduced vehicular congestion, just how much congestion does it eliminate in terms of hours of delay per day? a. Promotes multi-modal options, including freight movement (Yes = 5 points, no = 0 points) b. Improves vehicular, pedestrian, or bicyclist safety (Yes = 2 points, no = 0 points) c. Reduces congestion (0 points for non-traffic project, 2 points for projects that do reduce congestion, but did not perform calculation). The following scores are for those applicants who performed a before and after analysis of congestion: 1) Less than 10 seconds of delay per vehicle reduced = 4 points 2) 10-20 seconds of delay per vehicle reduced = 6 points 3) Greater than 20 seconds per vehicle reduced = 8 points
4. Policy and Information Sharing (5 points possible): Does the project intend to educate the public or community decision makers on how to improve air quality? Does the applicant attempt to make institutional change in organizations to reduce pollution? (Yes = 5 points, no = 0 points) a. Distributes best practices to public and decision makers
- 2 - 122 b. Involves institutional changes to agency regarding air quality and transportation c. Educates the public through educational signage or kiosks included as a part of the project.
54. Project Readiness (15 points possible): Has an Engineer’s Estimate been completed for the project? Does the project require environmental review? Has the applicant implemented projects in the past that are of similar complexity? Has the applicant implemented previous CMAQ projects, or projects similar in complexity? Has the applicant completed any LAPP Training within the past 5 years? a. Engineer’s Estimate 1) An Engineer’s Estimate has been completed for the project = 5 points 2) An Engineer’s Estimate has not been completed for the project = 0 points ab. Environmental considerations 1) Environmental study not prepared = 0 points 2) Environmental document already received, Anticipated categorical exclusion, or no environmental review required = 5 points bc. Sponsor’s ability to implement: does the applicant have a proven record implementing projects of similar type or difficulty?Has the applicant completed any LAPP Training within the past 5 years? 1) Yes = 10 5 points 2) No = 0 points
65. Project Maintenance and Management (10 points possible): Has the applicant anticipated the ongoing maintenance and management obligations of the project? Does the applicant have a plan, and capability, for maintenance and supervision of completed project? a. Plan and resources in place = 10 points b. No committed or identified plan and resources = 0 points
76. Concurrency with Existing Plans (10 points possible): Has the proposed project been identified through a previous planning effort? Does the project help address an issue identified in one of the following types of plans? a. Transportation (MTP, TP, CTP, Bicycle Plan, Pedestrian Plan, or other locally adopted transportation plan or list for community) b. Land Use or Comprehensive Plan c. Recreation Plan d. Economic Development Plan

Agenda Item #10
To: Board Members and Interested Persons From: Julio Paredes, Planner Date: September 28, 2017 Subject: 2018 NCDOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Grant Initiative – GCLMPO Support
BACKGROUND:
The NC Department of Transportation is accepting applications from communities for the 2018 Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning Grant Initiative. This program provides funding for municipalities across the state to develop comprehensive bicycle and pedestrian plans, as well as corridor plans. Plans funded are not for one specific project, but represent a comprehensive strategy for expanding bicycle and pedestrian opportunities within a given municipality. The plans address facilities, programs, policies and design guidelines that encourage safe walking and bicycling.
MATCHING GRANT FORMULA:
NCDOT planning grant funds will be provided on a sliding scale, based on municipal population, as shown in the table below. Neither in-kind services nor other state or federal funds from NCDOT can be used for local participation. As NCDOT draws the Powell Bill funds from the Highway Fund, they also may not be used as the local participation match.
ESTIMATED COSTS:
THE ROLE OF THE MPO:
The approval processes and procedures of MPO organizations should be followed by any municipality applying for funding. A resolution by the local MPO is required.
