Introduction

The Transportation Improvement Program of the Central Massachusetts Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMMPO), commonly referred to as the “TIP”, is a federally required planning document that lists all highway, bridge, transit and intermodal projects in the Central Massachusetts planning region that are programmed to receive federal-aid funding. In this most current TIP, projects are listed for federal fiscal years 2012 through 2015. Projects of regional & statewide significance as well as projects that improve air quality are also listed in the TIP document. Non federal-aid (NFA), or state-funded, projects are included as well, an example being the state’s Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP). Cognizant of limited statewide transportation funding resources, the annual program of projects must demonstrate financial constraint within the federal-aid funding targets established for each of the state’s MPOs by the Office of Transportation Planning.

The transportation staff of the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC), working on behalf of the entire CMMPO, revises the TIP project listing on an annual basis. Amendments and adjustments to the TIP also occur periodically. The CMMPO’s local members are the Commission, the Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA) and six local elected officials, while the state members are MassDOT and MassDOT-Highway Division. Project priorities (among other policy matters) are also considered by the CMMPO Advisory Committee.

The prioritization process combines an exchange of project information and evaluation of project importance. An established set of Transportation Evaluation Criteria (TEC) factors is considered for each eligible project. The CMRPC transportation staff, working with the MassDOT-Highway District #2 & #3, accumulates engineering design, right-of- way and environmental status information for each TIP project. If necessary, appropriate community personnel and/or engineering consultants are also contacted to obtain design status updates. Throughout the development of the TIP, the CMMPO oversees an extensive outreach effort, following their endorsed Public Outreach Program (POP), that provides ample opportunity for public involvement and participation. Typically commencing in late winter, the TIP development process ends in September when the CMMPO acts to endorse the finalized project listing.

At that time, the CMMPO Endorsed TIP is forwarded to MassDOT where it is combined with the TIPs produced by all of the MPOs throughout the state. The resulting document, referred to as the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), is forwarded to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for approval. Only after obtaining these approvals can federal-aid transportation funds be made available to construct the projects included in the TIP.

Summarized below are some of the major techniques, procedures and approaches used in the region’s annual TIP development effort:

• Visualization Techniques: The use of in-house GIS capabilities to indicate project locations using aerial photography and Pictometry images as well as digital photographs taken in the field.

• Environmental Consultation: Through periodic meetings, engaging the environmental community in dialogue regarding key areas of environmental concern associated with both current and proposed TIP projects, along with potential mitigation strategies. Further, continuing to evolve a cooperative process that considers existing conservation, economic, historic and land use plans when projects are being considered for placement on the TIP. GIS based “Environmental Profiles” are also used to provide a visual reference to environmental constraints and challenges.

• Environmental Justice: Continuing staff participation in statewide efforts aimed at establishing a standard approach to assessing both the benefits and adverse impacts resulting from TIP projects proposed for implementation in identified “EJ” areas.

• Highway Safety Improvement Program: Projects analytically derived through an operational “HSIP” will be considered for TIP programming by the CMMPO.

• Congestion Mitigation Air Quality: The completion of required calculations and the compilation of other standard materials necessary to support projects programmed under the “CMAQ” funding category. Attending meetings of the CMAQ Consultation Committee in order to obtain project approval as necessary and to stay informed on other state activities and potential new requirements for the CMMPO region.

• Intelligent Transportation Systems: Fully considering the potential for “ITS” applications, both stand alone and project-specific, throughout the development of the TIP project listings for highway and transit. Staff provides ITS overviews to both the CMMPO and their standing Advisory Committee.

• Transportation Evaluation Criteria: Continuing to utilize the “TEC” established by EOT-OTP in the development of the 2012 to 2015 TIP project listing. Potential regional target-funded projects will be evaluated for each of the TIP’s four fiscal years. The results of the evaluation, along with other critical benchmark data concerning project status and readiness as requested by the CMMPO, are used to assist in the selection of TIP target projects for review and eventual approval by the CMMPO. It is envisioned that this will be a continuing, cooperative process among the RPAs, RTAs, MassDOT and the MassDOT-Highway district offices.

The following standard procedures are employed:

1. Select a set of projects to evaluate (or re-evaluate, as appropriate) 2. Gather and record data 3. Evaluate and score projects 4. Summarize results and report to CMMPO for review and approval 5. Develop Draft TIP project listings for CMMPO review and approval

• Public Outreach: Insuring early involvement of local legislators, chief local officials, stakeholders, citizens and other interested parties through the CMMPO’s formal Public Outreach Program (POP) with full consideration of the principles of Environmental Justice, including special meetings such as community-targeted TIP information sessions. The region’s communities will continue to be contacted periodically by staff, on behalf of the CMMPO, for project information and status updates.

• Implementing Agencies: As deemed necessary, meeting with the MassDOT District #2 and #3 Directors and staff as well as staff from OTP and the Capital Expenditure and Program Office (CEPO) as needed to develop project information. Similarly, as necessary, meeting with the WRTA Administrator concerning transit-related projects.

• Technical Assistance: Providing limited technical assistance to municipalities and public agencies as applicable in completing and submitting Project Need Forms (PNF) detailing potential highway and bridge projects for initial MassDOT review. When submitting PNFs for potential new projects, the communities are asked to prioritize their new requests and any other projects previously programmed for target funding.

701 CMR 7.00 Use of Road Flaggers and Police Details on Public Works Projects

701 CMR 7.00 (the Regulation) was promulgated and became law on October 3, 2008. Under this Regulation, the CMR is applicable to any Public works Project that is performed within the limits of, or that impact traffic on, any Public Road. The Municipal Limitation referenced in this Regulation is applicable only to projects where the Municipality is the Awarding Authority.

For all projects contained in the TIP, the Commonwealth is the Awarding Authority. Therefore, all projects must be considered and implemented in accordance with 701 CMR 7.00, and the Road Flagger and Police Detail Guidelines.

By placing a project on the TIP, the Municipality acknowledges that 701 CMR 7.00 is applicable to its project and design and construction will be fully compliant with this Regulation.

This information, and additional information relative to guidance and implementation of the Regulation can be found at the following link on the MassDOT Highway Division website: http://www.massdot.state.ma.us/Highway/flaggers/main.aspx

11 The Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs (EEA) is pleased to provide this Smart Growth/Smart Energy Toolkit on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Toolkit provides easy access to information on planning, zoning, subdivision, site design, and building construction techniques that can make smart growth and smart energy a reality in your community. The materials are designed to increase understanding of smart growth/smart energy tools and policies, as well as how to customize and apply the techniques to suit local circumstances. The Commonwealth encourages communities to adopt and implement these smart growth/smart Click here to access energy measures in order to realize the many environmental, Governor Patrick's fiscal, and social benefits of smarter energy and smarter land Clean Energy & use. Smart Growth-Smart Energy webpage! Integration of Smart Growth / Smart Energy into Comprehensive Planning

Planning - the importance of context to successful implementation of smart growth/smart energy techniques

Successful implementation of these measures will require planning. Adoption of any of the techniques included here will require customization, and communities should not simply copy and use model bylaws, either those provided here or found elsewhere, without Interactive Case modifications to address circumstances within the community. Ideally, users of this Toolkit Study Map will take a comprehensive approach. At a minimum, once a decision has been made to pursue implementation of a particular technique, such as open space residential design, community meetings will be needed to answer basic questions about how the model provided will be customized to meet local needs and goals.

12 Municipalities have important choices to make when implementing any of these techniques including the areas within the community where a technique will be applied and the appropriate permitting authority and mechanism. To ensure that choices are made on the basis of a good understanding of citizen desires, communities are encouraged to plan in advance of, and involve the public prior to, implementing any of these techniques. Especially considering that a two-thirds vote at town meeting or by city council will be required for zoning approval, understanding or arriving at a consensus about community objectives and planning techniques is important early in the adoption process. Master, community development, open space, housing, transportation, capital facilities, climate action, and other types of plans all provide a foundation for reaching such consensus; the public process associated with planning greatly increases the odds of adoption.

Comprehensive Planning in the Urban Setting

Achieving Smart Growth / Smart Energy on the Community Scale

An important point that should be kept in mind when utilizing this Toolkit is that smart growth or smart energy objectives are unlikely to be accomplished via the passage and implementation of a single technique. While each technique in this Toolkit will achieve certain important goals, and move a community in the direction of smart growth and smart energy, a more comprehensive approach is likely to be necessary. Another reason to plan in advance of implementing the measures included in the Toolkit is to determine a mix of techniques necessary to achieve municipal goals. Included below are several typical scenarios illustrating how smart growth and clean energy initiatives often involve a long-term and multi-faceted

campaign to realize a community's vision.

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts offers several incentives to implement smart growth/smart energy plans, regulations, and site and building designs. The Commonwealth Capital Policy provides financial incentive to communities to adopt clean energy practices and apply smart growth principles. MGL Chapter 40R provides incentive payments when "smart growth zoning districts" are adopted and, again, when building permits are issued. In addition, agencies of the Commonwealth, including the Department of Housing and Community Development and the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs, offer technical assistance.

13 Sustainable Development Principles The Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall care for the built and natural environment by promoting sustainable development through integrated energy and environment, housing and economic development, transportation and other policies, programs, investments, and regulations. The Commonwealth will encourage the coordination and cooperation of all agencies, invest public funds wisely in smart growth and equitable development, give priority to investments that will deliver good jobs and good wages, transit access, housing, and open space, in accordance with the following sustainable development principles. Furthermore, the Commonwealth shall seek to advance these principles in partnership with regional and municipal governments, non-profit organizations, business, and other stakeholders.

1. Concentrate Development and Mix Uses Support the revitalization of city and town centers and neighborhoods by promoting development that is compact, conserves land, protects historic resources, and integrates uses. Encourage remediation and reuse of existing sites, structures, and infrastructure rather than new construction in undeveloped areas. Create pedestrian friendly districts and neighborhoods that mix commercial, civic, cultural, educational, and recreational activities with open spaces and homes.

2. Advance Equity Promote equitable sharing of the benefits and burdens of development. Provide technical and strategic support for inclusive community planning and decision making to ensure social, economic, and environmental justice. Ensure that the interests of future generations are not compromised by today's decisions.

3. Make Efficient Decisions Make regulatory and permitting processes for development clear, predictable, coordinated, and timely in accordance with smart growth and environmental stewardship.

4. Protect Land and Ecosystems Protect and restore environmentally sensitive lands, natural resources, agricultural lands, critical habitats, wetlands and water resources, and cultural and historic landscapes. Increase the quantity, quality and accessibility of open spaces and recreational opportunities.

5. Use Natural Resources Wisely Construct and promote developments, buildings, and infrastructure that conserve natural resources by reducing waste and pollution through efficient use of land, energy, water, and materials.

6. Expand Housing Opportunities Support the construction and rehabilitation of homes to meet the needs of people of all abilities, income levels, and household types. Build homes near jobs, transit, and where services are available. Foster the development of housing, particularly multifamily and smaller single-family homes, in a way that is compatible with a community's character and vision and with providing new housing choices for people of all means. 7. Provide Transportation Choice Maintain and expand transportation options that maximize mobility, reduce congestion, conserve fuel and improve air quality. Prioritize rail, bus, boat, rapid and surface transit, shared-vehicle and shared-ride services, bicycling, and walking. Invest strategically in existing and new passenger and freight transportation infrastructure that supports sound economic development consistent with smart growth objectives.

8. Increase Job and Business Opportunities Attract businesses and jobs to locations near housing, infrastructure, and transportation options. Promote economic development in industry clusters. Expand access to education, training, and entrepreneurial opportunities. Support the growth of local businesses, including sustainable natural resource-based businesses, such as agriculture, forestry, clean energy technology, and fisheries.

9. Promote Clean Energy Maximize energy efficiency and renewable energy opportunities. Support energy conservation strategies, local clean power generation, distributed generation technologies, and innovative industries. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions and consumption of fossil fuels.

10. Plan Regionally Support the development and implementation of local and regional, state and interstate plans that have broad public support and are consistent with these principles. Foster development projects, land and water conservation, transportation and housing that have a regional or multi-community benefit. Consider the long-term costs and benefits to the Commonwealth.

The CMMPO TIP document customarily includes a comprehensive overview of the proactive public outreach process used throughout the development of the TIP. As seen from the “TIP Development Schedule”, from June through August 2011 the CMMPO guided the CMRPC staff as the TIP project listings and supporting documentation were compiled. Further, the CMMPO Advisory Committee provided ongoing technical advice concerning the compilation of the TIP.

The TIP project listings for highway and transit evolved from the preliminary and draft project listings to that eventually endorsed by the CMMPO. During July, the Draft TIP document was released by the CMMPO for the federally-required 30-day public review and comment period. In addition, a public meeting was held on August 17, 2011 to discuss the compilation of the TIP and to allow for the submittal of public comment. (The minutes from the public meeting are included in this document.) Finally, on August 24, 2011 after considering all submitted comment from various decision makers, stakeholders and other interested parties, the CMMPO voted unanimously to endorse the 2012 to 2015 TIP.

30-DAY PUBLIC REVIEW & COMMENT PERIOD: SUBMITTED COMMENT SUMMARY

All substantive comment received on the Draft TIP during the 30-day public review and comment period, summarized on the following pages, was brought before the CMMPO for their full consideration prior to the commencement of document endorsement proceedings. In response to the comments, the TIP project listings and documentation were edited and refined by staff as needed and as approved by the CMMPO.

17 RAR September 12, 2011 Final Public Comment Summary September 2011

Re: Annual Development of the 2012 to 2015 TIP Project Listing ______

Overview

The Central Massachusetts Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMMPO) is the transportation policy and project selection body for the planning region. The Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission (CMRPC), as the agency that provides technical staff to the CMMPO, has been directed to commence the annual development of the Transportation Improvement Program (“TIP”) through a proactive public outreach process. The TIP development schedule established by the CMMPO for this year’s effort is attached for your reference.

21 Ultimately approved by the CMMPO, the federally required TIP lists all eligible highway, transit, intermodal and bicycle & pedestrian projects in the region that are programmed to receive federal-aid funding. Based on recent federal requirements, the TIP includes an emphasis on safety projects and projects that both reduce congestion and improve air quality. In addition, projects of regional and statewide significance, such as Interstate Maintenance and High Priority Projects (HPP) identified by the Congress, are also included in the TIP document.

The CMMPO has indicated that communities should fully realize that the TIP project listing is financially constrained within the federal-aid funding targets provided to each planning region in the Commonwealth by the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT). Copies of the current TIP’s highway and transit-related project listings can be viewed at cmrpc.org. As is evident from the listings, a backlog continues to exist at this time. A number of communities in the region already have projects that are fully accepted by MassDOT and programmed to receive a portion of the limited federal-aid funding anticipated to be available, many having commenced the necessary design process.

Community Responsibilities

Each year, when the development of the TIP begins, communities in the planning region with federal-aid highway projects already underway are asked to provide a status update to the CMMPO in order to measure design readiness. The requested status updates should indicate the current stage of project design, right-of-way and environmental requirements as well as any other information the community wishes to convey to the CMMPO. Idle projects lacking community support may potentially be dropped from the TIP by the CMMPO.

CMMPO member MassDOT wishes to remind the region’s communities that new federal-aid eligible project proposals may be submitted throughout the year. Due to ongoing budgetary constraints, low cost projects in the range of $1M to $2M that address safety and congestion may be considered. (These project proposals can be submitted anytime during the year.) Additionally, it is highly recommended that communities preparing to submit a new project contact their MassDOT Highway Division office for guidance on the

22 project development process. The required Project Need Form (PNF) can be found at the following web link: http://www.mhd.state.ma.us/default.asp?pgid=content/projectReview &sid=about

All requests for new highway or bridge projects must originate from that community’s Board of Selectmen or, as appropriate, a town administrator/manager acting on its behalf. When submitting a project for consideration by the CMMPO, fully realize that local responsibilities often include funding project design and the acquisition of permanent right-of-way and temporary easements and any environmental requirements. Any new, low-cost project submittals to the CMMPO, as stated above, must be accompanied by MassDOT’s completed PNF.

Communities should know that the number of projects seeking federal- aid funding far exceed the resources available to the CMMPO. Further, the CMMPO considers a wide range of factors when assessing project readiness for placement on the TIP.

Important CMMPO Deadline

The initial public outreach period for the development of the 2012 to 2015 TIP project listing is now underway. Status updates on existing federal-aid highway projects should be forwarded to Rich Rydant, Transportation Project Manager, by the close of business on Tuesday, July 12, 2011. The CMMPO will consider all submitted materials at their July 13th meeting. Earlier community correspondence previously forwarded to the CMRPC staff will also be recognized as part of the status update effort. Again, inactive projects lacking community support have the potential to be removed from the TIP listing by the CMMPO.

Summary materials for the annual TIP development effort are available online at cmrpc.org and at the CMRPC office. Any questions or requests for additional information can be directed to Rich Rydant, Project Manager, at (508)-459-3312 or [email protected].

Regional planning group sets public meetings on transportation

WORCESTER—The Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission is hosting two public meetings on regional transportation planning Wednesday.

The meetings will be held at noon and 6 p.m. on the second floor of Union Station, 2 Washington Square.

Documents slated for discussion include the transportation improvement program, which lists projects slated for federal funding and the 2012 regional transportation plan, a 20‐year transportation planning blueprint.

All documents can be found online at www.cmrpc.org.

34 CMRPC – the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission – is inviting the public to attend meetings to discuss important transportation planning documents soon to be finalized. Two public meeting sessions are scheduled for August 17, 2011 in Union Hall on the 2nd floor at Union Station, Worcester, MA. A daytime session will begin at 12:00 noon and an evening session will start at 6:00 PM. Both meetings will include a staff presentation and are considered excellent opportunities to learn about the region’s broad range of transportation planning efforts. Time will also be available for questions and answers.

As conducted throughout the nation on a regional basis, transportation planning is a cooperative process designed to encourage and include involvement by all interested groups, including the business community, environmental organizations, the traveling public, freight operators, and all using or affected by the system. It’s accomplished through a transparent and active public participation process conducted by the local Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), which includes members of the state Department of Transportation (state DOT), transit operators, and local government officials and planners.

MPOs have been assigned with transportation planning authority and responsibility, and were created in order to ensure that existing and future expenditures for transportation projects and programs would be based on a comprehensive process. Federal funding for transportation projects and programs is channeled through the MPO. Regulations require that appropriate planning processes be undertaken as part of demonstrating eligibility and worthiness for federal transportation funds - money that largely pays for many of the major infrastructure improvements undertaken in the United States and that support much of public transportation activity as well. The local organization with responsibility for these functions is the Central Massachusetts Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMMPO). CMRPC is one member of that ten-member group. CMRPC also provides staff and transportation planning functions for the CMMPO.

Many of the essential functions of the MPO result in planning documents, several of which will be discussed at the August 17 meetings. The general public and other affected constituencies must be involved in all essential planning functions; the 2011 Public Outreach Plan (POP) outlines how this will be done. Allocation of resources for planning studies and evaluations are included in a Unified Planning Work Program; the 2012 UPWP will be reviewed. The Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) lists all specific transportation projects in the region programmed to receive federal-aid funding in upcoming years, both highway and transit; the 2012-2015 TIP will be presented for comment. Lastly, but probably most importantly, the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP), covering a planning horizon of at least twenty years, sets the path that will guide continued mobility and access for people and goods, efficient transportation system performance and preservation, and a better quality of life for all.

The 2012 RTP, the final document to be reviewed and opened for comment at these sessions, is a comprehensive document that addresses all major modes of transportation in the region, and includes chapters on demographics, the environment, livability, safety, security and a broad range of programs and analyses while recommending major improvement projects. The RTP is a statement of the way the region plans to invest in the transportation system, such as which activities and approaches are preferred, and which specific areas are in need of attention. It

35 includes both long- and short-range strategies and actions that lead to the development of an integrated intermodal transportation. It addresses projected demand for transportation services, considering regional land use, development, housing, and employment issues and trends. The RTP attempts to outline policies, strategies, and by using an approach that considers roadways, transit, nonmotorized transportation, and intermodal connections, working together. Cost estimates and reasonably available financial sources for operation, maintenance, and capital investments are considered, as activities that are unlikely to be funded cannot be anticipated to take place. Preservation of existing roads and facilities and making efficient use of the existing system are of necessity primary approaches and activities. The regional RTP and that of the State must be consistent with each other. As it is a larger-scope planning document, the CMMPO’s RTP is only updated every four years.

Be sure to attend one of the August 17 meetings and let us know how you feel about current issues of interest and importance in local and regional transportation planning and the priorities that should be in place for the spending of our limited financial resources. All draft documents can be viewed on-line at www.cmrpc.org. Paper copies are available upon request at the CMRPC office at Union Station. Staff will continue to digest, combine and summarize the reactions that we obtain from all parties of interest. The CMMPO itself will ultimately guide and endorse the final version of the document. A federally required 30-day public review and comment period established by the CMMPO in July will end on August 23, 2011. All written comments will be accepted until 4:00 PM on that day. All ideas and suggestions will be considered as we move along in the planning process, whether or not they are incorporated in the final planning documents.

PUBLIC COMMENT NOTES

From the 12:00 Noon session:

RTP

• Transit service in the Blackstone Valley should be reexamined for feasibility; coordination with the Heritage Corridor Park efforts could be of mutual benefit.

• Transit service need more attention in general; need more state and local agency representation; mode change facilitation has to start now for best long term effects.

TIP

• Private business person from Millbury questioned “legitimacy” of Governor Patrick’s past statements about fixing the Route 146/Boston Road situation; feels that reconstruction work should already be underway.

• Developer Ken Hecht who wishes to build/promote the Boston Road area made a plea to move the Route 146/Boston Road project from the 2014 TIP year to the 2013 year by moving Northbridge’s Sutton Street back a year. He made an exhaustive, personally customized presentation regarding perceived benefits and his view of the superiority of the Route 146/Boston Road project to that of Sutton Street in Northbridge.

• Northbridge town manager Ted Kozak spoke in favor of retaining the 2013 TIP year positioning of the town’s Sutton Street project, one which has been under consideration for years, first accepted by PRC in 1995.

POP

• Citizen applauded greater publicizing of “MPO Document” meeting times and multiple meetings. She suggested that staff tape such meetings for further dissemination.

From the 6:00 PM session:

TIP

• State Representative George Peterson said he attended the meeting and wanted to speak after he was called earlier by Northbridge town manager Ted Kozak. The Representative spoke in favor of the town of Northbridge’s Sutton Street project, indicating that it first was conceived in 1994, and that the road is long overdue for repair. He noted that in the case of the Route 146 project that a prior developer was going to be contributing to the intersection improvements, but the economy soured and that project was withdrawn. As a result, Governor Patrick hoped to be able to improve the intersection with Stimulus funds from the American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA), but those funds appear to have dried up. Representative Peterson said that he supports accelerating the Route 146 project if Stimulus funds can be found, but if not, that project should not supplant Northbridge’s Sutton Street project in 2013.

• A presentation was made by Ken Hecht, Hecht Development, and proponent of a potential development adjacent to the Route 146/Boston Road intersection, regarding the Sutton intersection. He made a case for why this project should be completed prior to Sutton Street in Northbridge. He proposed doing a “flip” of these projects between FY 2013 and FY2014. Mr. Hecht’s request is based on the commitment made by Governor Patrick as well as the significant “return on investment” the Route 146/Boston Road project would have over the Sutton Street project in Northbridge. Representative Peterson took the Mr. Hecht’s business card after listening to his presentation.

• Joe Deliso, Vice Chairman of the Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce, recommended moving the Route 146/Boston Road project from 2014 to 2013, on behalf of the full Chamber. He cited Governor Patrick’s 42 commitment to complete the project by 2013 (as stated at last year’s Legislative Breakfast sponsored by the Chamber), the significant efforts of Chamber membership to court economic development to that area, the presence of a willing developer, the economic contribution to the area, and a window of opportunity that should not be missed. The Sutton Street project in Northbridge is considered “a nice” project, but offers far less economic return.

• An overview of the TIP’s highway element was provided by Project Manager Rydant. Program Manager Blunt presented the TIP’s transit element and also reviewed the HPP/earmark projects, particularly the Blackstone Valley Visitor’s Center on the site of the Rome Building along Route 146 near McKeon Road.

• Joe Deliso asked where does the design of the BV Visitor Center need to be before these funds can be accessed and the project built. Program Manager Blunt responded that the majority of the listed funding is likely for site work, however due to the changed scope of the project (due to the arson at the Rome Building), CMRPC does not have a revised funding breakdown for the project. Rydant indicated the JHCBRVNHCC had forwarded a letter providing a brief project status update.

• There was discussion about the two major WRTA facility projects, 1) the Transfer Hub planned adjacent to Union Station and the Maintenance & Operations (M&O) facility slated to be constructed along Quinsigamond Avenue. In response to the question about dates for construction, the Hub should be finished in late 2013; the M&O facility in late 2014.

• Joe Deliso (representing himself as a Sutton town resident), referred back to the RTP for this comment about how the intersection of Route 146 and Boston Road was the largest “standstill” or bottleneck that he encounters in the region. Also, increased vehicle crash incidents have been anecdotally observed since the MassPike connection was made. Numerous vehicles appear to run red lights at the intersection, particularly when traveling in the southbound direction, perhaps in part due to high travel speeds and limited sight distance. In terms of highway projects that improve efficiency, as outlined in the RTP, why is this not at the top of the list? Mary Ellen responded that MassDOT’s 2007‐2009 Crash Data does not shows this intersection in the Top 200, however staff was planning to seek updated

43 crash data for this location. In terms of traffic volume, there is a consensus that this is a busy intersection.

UPWP

• Question from West Boylston Planning Board member regarding Livability and what it consists of and where can it be found in the UPWP? Program Manager Blunt answered that it is included under Task 3.9 and includes “Walkability” workshops, Safe Routes to Schools coordination, bicycle and pedestrian counts and some transit/pedestrian access management work.

ADJOURNMENT

• Rich reiterated that RTP, TIP and UPWP comments must be received on Tuesday, August 23rd by 4:00 PM. POP comments are due by September 7, 2011. All comments may be sent to the attention of Rich Rydant at the CMRPC address.

The attached Excel workbook contains the proposed federally-funded highway program for FFY2012- 2015. The workbook contains a summary table and individual tables for each of the program years which are to be used in the development of the FFY2012 -2015 regional TIPs and the FFY2012 -2015 STIP.

As you know, on June 9, 2011 FHWA provided us with written financial guidance for the FFY2012- 2015, this guidance is attached. The financial guidance for each of the four years (2012 -2015) is $560 million dollars, a $40 million dollar reduction from the guidance FHWA provided in FFY2011 and more recently this year. FHWA has removed the $40 million of anticipated redistribution from the estimate of funding, thus $40 million dollar reduction.

At the June 24th monthly MARPA meeting, David Mohler discussed the implications of the reduced estimated federal funding to the MPO and statewide highway program. The attached regional targets are a result of that discussion and seeks to minimize the impact resulting from the $40 million dollar reduction to both the MPO regions and statewide program. In general, this reduction is addressed though reductions to the Regional Major Infrastructure program and minor reductions to the regional targets as follows:

• 2012 Regional Major infrastructure program unfunded and the regional target amounts remain unchanged from FFY2011-2014 guidance. • 2013 Regional Major Infrastructure program reduced and regional targets reduced relative to FFY2011 - 2014 guidance. • 2014 Regional Major Infrastructure program reduced and regional targets reduced relative to FFY2011 - 2014 guidance, • 2015 no reductions.

Specific notes by FFY FFY 2012

• There is no regional CMAQ target, however CMAQ-eligible projects are certainly allowed and encouraged.

64 • Statewide Enhancements program is funded at $3.5 million in FFY2012. The Enhancements incentivizing program of spend $2 of regional enhancements funding,receive $1 of statewide Enhancements funding is in effect again in 2012. • Statewide FFY2012 HSIP, Safe Routes to Schools, ITS, IM, NHS and Bridge project listings will be provided shortly. Regions should program these statewide category projects which will be occurring within their region. Further programming guidance will be included with these project listings.

FFY2013

• The regional CMAQ target has been restored to $20 million in 2013 • Statewide Enhancements program is funded at $3.5 million in FFY2013. The Enhancements incentivizing program of spend $2 of regional enhancements funding, receive $1 of statewide Enhancements funding is in effect again in 2013. • Statewide FFY2013 HSIP, Safe Routes to Schools, ITS, IM, NHS and Bridge project listings will be provided shortly. Regions should program these statewide category projects which will be occurring within their region. Further programming guidance will be included with these project listings. • FHWA has instructed us to address the Year of Expenditure (YOE) by increasing the project cost of projects in the second, third and fourth year of the TIP by a inflation factor. We have established 4% for each year as the inflation factor. Please inflate the current project cost estimate by this 4% factor and program the project with this inflated cost. The financial constraint of the TIP is to be established on total inflated cost of the programmed projects in the year. Please include a note explaining the use of the Year of Expenditure inflation factor on the TIP listing for this year.

FFY2014

• The regional CMAQ target remains at $20 million in 2014 • Statewide Enhancements program is funded at $3.5 million in FFY2014. The Enhancements incentivizing program of spend $2 of regional enhancements funding, receive $1 of statewide Enhancements funding is in effect again in 2014. • Statewide FFY2014 HSIP, Safe Routes to Schools, ITS, IM, NHS and Bridge project listings will be provided shortly.

65 • FHWA has instructed us to address the Year of Expenditure (YOE) by increasing the project cost of projects in the second, third and fourth year of the TIP by a inflation factor. We have established 4% for each year as the inflation factor. Please inflate the current project cost estimate by this 12% factor and program the project with this inflated cost. The financial constraint of the TIP is to be established on total inflated cost of the programmed projects in the year. Please include a note explaining the use of the Year of Expenditure inflation factor on the TIP listing for this year.

8-25-2011

General

• Please include both Paul F. Maloney, P.E. and William Gordon, P.E. on the membership list for the MPO, as Ex-Officio members. • Please enter the Total Cost and project status update (i.e., 75% design) for each project listed on each element of the TIP. • In all elements having earmarks programmed; ensure the project for which the earmark is programmed is fully funded, and ready to advance to construction. Earmarks will be removed from the TIP element for projects not meeting these requirements.

Page 70 – 2012 TIP Element

• For the Worcester Blackstone project, section 1C, the project status is 25% design. This is not optimal for a year one TIP project. This comment was made in an earlier draft and no response was given. Please explain when the RPC and District expect the next submission of plans and the anticipated advertisement timeframe.

Page 72 – 2013 Element

• Project 602037 (Worcester Intersection) is programmed discontinuously, on the 2013 and 2015 elements. Previous comments by District 3, in reply to this comment, explained that the projects are separate and distinct. If this is the case, remove reference to both projects, in each element’s comment field. • The Worcester Blackstone Visitor Center project (605063) should not be programmed if the project is not ready to advance to construction. It has a status update of 25% design. Please explain whether this status has changed recently and if it is anticipated to advance during the 2013 construction year, provide a timeframe in the comment field. • It is noted that the CMAQ minimum target has not been met. Please work with Mass DOT to identify an appropriate project that is eligible for this funding.

Page 74 – 2014 Element

• It is noted that, as currently programmed, the STP target is exceeded. Financial constraint must be demonstrated before the endorsed TIP can be approved by FHWA and FTA. Follow-up discussion on this issue is necessary. • The Worcester project (604893) has an earmark programmed. Assuming that this is ready to advance to construction, and is fully funded, please correct the funding source

79 entry. TI is shown in the funding category, and HPP is noted in the comments. Please rectify this and identify the earmark number explicitly, in the funding source field. • It is noted that the HSIP minimum target has not been met. Please work with Mass DOT to identify an appropriate project that this funding can address safety deficiencies on. • Same comment with regard to CMAQ.

Page 76 – 2015 Element

• As mentioned in comments above, Project 602037 (Worcester Intersection) is programmed discontinuously, on the 2013 and 2015 elements. Previous comments by District 3, in reply to this comment, explained that the projects are separate and distinct. If this is the case, remove reference to both projects, in each element’s comment field. • It is noted that the HSIP minimum target has not been met. Please work with Mass DOT to identify an appropriate project that this funding can address safety deficiencies on. • For the oxford project (604507), plase provide the updated design status.

The TIP Project Listing sheets seem to have been printed in the document a second time (in their entirety).

Page 108 – Financial Constraint – Highways

• There is no Financial constraint page. It was noted to be forthcoming. It appears that the 2011-2014 TIP arget financial constraint analysis was entered with the note that the update would follow. Please ensure that this information is updated. This should have been sent out in the draft document that was made available for public review and comment.

4.) Project Selection

The Central Massachusetts Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMMPO), by virtue of its endorsement of the FY 2012 to FY 2015 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), agrees that the inclusion of projects in FY 2012 (first year of the TIP) is sufficient for project selection purposes as allowed by the provisions of SAFETEA-LU. Any project listed within FY 2012 can proceed with programming during FY 2012 without additional action on the part of the MPO.

Furthermore, as emphasized in testimony at the December 2006 Federal Certification Review of the CMMPO’s planning process, let it be specifically known that the projects included in the TIP are selected through the region’s ongoing Comprehensive, Continuing, and Cooperative (3C) Transportation Planning Process with full consideration of the principles of Environmental Justice.

TIP project priorities, once established by the CMMPO, lead to the selection of projects that can most effectively and efficiently utilize the limited funding, both federal and state, that is available to the region while maintaining financial constraint. These priorities are derived from the extensive public outreach efforts conducted on behalf of the entire CMMPO (CMRPC, WRTA, MassDOT and its Highway Division), as overseen by the CMMPO Advisory Committee and the WRTA’s Advisory Board, as well as various planning studies listed below, completed either by staff or hired consultants, which provide both quantitative and qualitative data.

• Regional Transportation Plan (RTP): Transportation projects of all types must be reflected in the comprehensive RTP in order to be eligible for inclusion in the TIP project listing. The document provides an overview of both the existing and future projected condition of all major modes of transportation in the region, including intermodal activities. An extensive public outreach process accompanies the development of the document, prepared every four years.

• Management Systems (MS): Materials available through various management systems also lend support to projects included in the TIP:

Congestion Management Process (CMP) - The regional CMP monitors key roadway segments, critical intersections and MassDOT-maintained Park and Ride facilities. Staff produces a CMP Progress Report on an annual basis. Projects programmed on the TIP are often generated through this process.

Bridge MS - This information is maintained by MassDOT-Boston and supported by bridge inspection reports compiled by the five MassDOT District offices.

82 Structurally Deficient (SD) and Functional Obsolete (FO) bridge listings are provided to the regions that assist the CMMPO in prioritizing those structures in need of attention.

Pavement MS - MassDOT oversees the condition and repair needs of NHS and STP designated roadways. The regional staff offers PMS services and assistance to member communities for town-maintained state numbered routes and locally maintained roadways.

Safety MS - Data is maintained by MassDOT - Highway and supported by vehicle crash report information compiled from various sources statewide. Top 200 accident location listing compiled on state level is provided to the region. Recently, staff has participated in the development of the state’s Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP).

Other related activities include:

Transportation Evaluation Criteria - The “Transportation Evaluation Criteria” set forth by MassDOT predecessor organizations are utilized in the development of the TIP project listings. Potential regional target-funded projects are evaluated when considered for programming. The results of the evaluation, along with other critical benchmark data concerning project status and readiness, are used to assist in the selection of TIP target projects for review and eventual approval by the CMMPO. It is envisioned that this will be a continuing, cooperative process among the RPAs, RTAs, MassDOT and its Highway Division district offices.

Transit Planning - Staff works closely with the WRTA to identify capital and operations needs for both fixed route transit and complimentary paratransit services. The WRTA Advisory Board oversees this process. Statewide guidance concerning transit issues is often provided by EOT.

Freight Planning - MassDOT efforts on behalf of the (now dormant) Massachusetts Freight Advisory Council (FAC) have resulted in the identification of statewide freight issues and priorities. A state rail plan has been developed. Regional staff is often requested to assist in such efforts, being familiar with the various aspects of local intermodal facilities. Regional Freight Planning Progress Reports are available.

Traffic Monitoring - At times referred to as the “Seventh Management System”, an aggressive annual traffic count program is carried out by the regional planning staff. The regional count program is supplemented by traffic volume data collected by MassDOT on the Interstate System and other major NHS roadways.

• Corridor Planning Studies (CPS): Based upon the recommendation of the CMMPO either prepared by staff, or by hired consultants, these efforts often utilize regional travel demand modeling in order to develop future traffic volume projections and to determine associated air quality impacts. Recently, staff has

83 completed a number of “Corridor Profile” efforts, streamlined studies that utilize the results of the ongoing management systems. These studies inevitably result in the compilation of a comprehensive listing of improvement options to be considered by the host communities.

• Competitive Programs: The staff is often charged with the responsibility of conducting the regional solicitation and screening process for any of a number of specially funded programs, such as Congestion Mitigation Air Quality (CMAQ), Transportation Enhancements, Transportation Demand Management (TDM)/Transportation Management Association (TMA) and, less frequently, National Scenic Byways, Public Lands Highway (PLH), Safe Communities and Transportation and Community and System Preservation (TCSP). Projects selected through a regional process, overseen by the CMMPO, which are subsequently approved by either MassDOT and/or EOT, will be reflected in the TIP listing.

• Congressional Earmarks: As required by SAFETEA-LU legislation, staff will include the High Priority Projects (HPP) identified by the U.S. Congress as recipients of earmarked funding as is feasible and appropriate. On the state level, projects approved by the Legislature, such as those included in a Transportation Bond Bill, are similarly reflected in the TIP listing.

5.) Amendment / Modification Procedures

Regional Summary

The Central Massachusetts Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMMPO) by virtue of its endorsement of the FY 2012 - FY 2015 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) agrees to the following definitions/examples regarding Amendments and Modifications to the TIP:

An Amendment is called for when there is a significant change to the TIP. It will require formal action by the CMMPO. Examples of significant changes would include additions or deletions of projects, movement of highway projects from Year 3 (FY ‘14 and beyond) to Year 1 (FY ‘12) and other actions (such as significant cost or scope changes) deemed to necessitate formal action.

A Modification is called for when lesser actions affecting the TIP may be accommodated through an administrative procedure of the CMMPO. A modification to the TIP may include movement of a project from Year 2 (FY ‘13) to Year 1 (FY ‘12), movement from one funding category to another and the movement of FTA-09 Year 3 (FY ‘14) projects to Year 1 (FY ‘12). The underlying purpose of this mechanism is to provide a degree of flexibility in programming projects in the CMMPO Endorsed TIP.

Further, a recommendation will be obtained as needed from the CMMPO Advisory Committee concerning whether an Amendment or Modification procedure is appropriate.

FHWA Guidance on TIP/STIP Amendment and Modification Procedures

The projects in the first year of an approved STIP shall constitute an “agreed to” list of projects for subsequent scheduling and implementation. For a project to receive federal funds, it must be programmed in the current fiscal year of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP. FHWA will only authorize projects and FTA will only approve grants for projects that are programmed in the current fiscal year of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP.

If an implementing agency wishes to proceed with a project not included in the current fiscal year of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP, a STIP amendment or administrative modification must be made. Due to the fact that the Massachusetts STIP is an aggregation of 13 regional TIPs, a TIP(s) will have to be amended or administratively modified in order to amend or adjust the STIP. The minimum thresholds and corresponding required actions of a TIP amendment and modification are outlined below. The state and CMMPO may set stricter thresholds or require additional actions. A TIP/STIP may be amended or modfied at any time (as long as air quality conformity is maintained).

TIP Amendments

The state and MPOs are required to make a formal amendment to the TIP if an implementing agency seeks federal-aid funding for:

• A project that is not programmed in the first three years of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP.

• Project scope or cost changes that are significant in character or size.

• A FTA-administered project that is programmed in the current fiscal year of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP where there is a change in scope of more than 20% of the total programmed amount. (Total programmed amount is the authorized amount for a Regional Transit Authority set by ISTEA and affirmed by subsequent transportation legislation, and can include carryover funds from previous fiscal years and funds deobligated from previous grants.)

A public participation process shall be conducted by the respective MPO according to an MPO endorsed Public Outreach Program and shall include adequate public notice of public involvement activities and a public comment period of at least 30 days.

After the MPO formally endorses the TIP amendment in a public meeting, the MPO shall provide a copy of the endorsed amendment and conformity determination action (see the air quality conformity considerations listed below) to FHWA/FTA to indicate that an amendment to the STIP is forthcoming from the State.

TIP Administrative Modifications

At the option of the state and MPOs, an administrative modification to the TIP can be made rather than a formal amendment for the following projects for which federal funds are sought by an implementing agency:

• A project that is programmed in the first three years of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP but is not programmed in the current fiscal year.

For projects funded with FHWA administered funding categories:

• A project programmed in the current fiscal year of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP where the total project cost has increased by 10% or more for projects costing $10 million or more.

• A project programmed in the current fiscal year of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP where the total project cost has increased by $1 million or more for projects costing less than $10 million. For projects funded with FTA administered funding categories or FHWA flexed funds:

91 • A project programmed in the current fiscal year of the current FHWA/FTA approved STIP where the total project cost exceeds the TIP/STIP total FTA programmed amount by more than 10% but less than 20%. (Please note that for the programming of FTA Section 5309 Discretionary Funds, only funds that have a specific earmark, i.e. committed by Congress, may be programmed in fiscal year 1 or 2 of the TIP/STIP. Discretionary funds that are “reasonably expected to become available” may be programmed in fiscal year 3 and then administratively modified to fiscal years 1 or 2 when the project receives a specific earmark.)

Expeditious procedures for the TIP administrative modifications shall be developed by the state and MPOs and reflected in the respective MPO Public Outreach Program. If no such expeditious procedures are developed, formal amendment procedures must be followed.

When a TIP modification is agreed to by the state and MPO, the MPO shall provide a copy of the TIP modification and conformity determination action (see the air quality section below) to FHWA/FTA to indicate that a modification to the STIP is forthcoming from the State.

The TIP modification procedure can be used if an implementing agency seeks federal-aid funding of projects programmed using federal-aid in the previous fiscal year of the previous FHWA/FTA approved STIP. However, this situation should not happen if projects that have not been advertised are programmed in subsequent years of new TIPs/STIP as outlined in the TIPs/STIP development procedures.

Air Quality Conformity Considerations of TIP Amendments or Modifications

A conformity determination must be made when a TIP is amended or administratively modified unless the amendment or administrative modification consists entirely of projects that are not air quality sensitive. If this exception is the case, it shall be explicitly reflected in the TIP amendment/modification along with a statement that the original TIP conformity determination still applies. (Air quality sensitive projects include projects such as regionally significant projects, exempt projects that were included in the analysis of the RTP conformity determination, Transportation Control Measures from the SIP, etc.)

If there is reprogramming of air quality sensitive projects such that a new conformity analysis is needed, an amendment to the RTP shall be developed and endorsed along with a new conformity analysis and determination (consultation procedures still apply). The amended or administratively modified TIP conformity determination would then be based on the amended RTP conformity analysis. A less favorable option is to determine conformity of just the TIP amendment/modification. This option is only allowable if the programming of projects in the TIP is consistent with the RTP (consultation procedures still apply).

10 Article II - PURPOSE 11 12 The overall purpose of the Advisory Committee is to involve the public in 13 transportation planning that supports the MPO process. At the direction of the 14 Central Mass Metropolitan Planning Organization (CMMPO), the Advisory 15 Committee advises it on transportation policy and planning. The Advisory 16 Committee provides a forum for broad public participation, technical and citizen 17 input in the transportation planning process. It brings together public agencies, 18 elected and appointed officials, transportation providers, environmental interests, 19 technical experts, specialists, business persons and citizens concerned with 20 transportation plans and programs. This effort should encompass all modes of 21 transportation and the needs of all citizens, including: 22 23 A. The solicitation and consideration of input from all groups and citizens 24 concerned with, interested in, and/or affected by MPO transportation plans or 25 programs. The Committee shall make an effort to seek out and consider the 26 needs of those traditionally underserved by existing transportation systems. 27 28 B. The dissemination of information about CMMPO plans or decisions to its 29 representative constituencies. 30 31 C. By its activities, ensure involvement of the public throughout the CMMPO 32 transportation planning process. 33 34 D. At the Direction of the CMMPO, provide recommendations based on 35 public input and specialized knowledge to the CMMPO in preparation of the 36 following specific transportation plans and programs: 37 38 1. Amendments and updates to the CMMPO Regional Transportation Plan; 39 2. Amendments and updates to the CMMPO Transportation Improvement 40 Program; 41 3. Projects within the CMMPO Transportation Improvement Program for 42 state or federal funding; 43 4. The CMMPO Public Outreach Plan; 44 5. The Unified Planning Work program (UPWP); and 45 6. Other tasks as requested by the CMMPO.

141 46 E. Develop associations with other organizations interested in transportation 47 issues, including serving as a liaison between the CMMPO and organizations to 48 which the Advisory Committee member may belong. Advisory Committee 49 members will each keep their respective organizations and interests informed 50 about the work of the CMMPO and will bring their concerns to the CMMPO. 51 52 The CMMPO must approve any activities of the Advisory Committee beyond the 53 charges listed in these bylaws. Any written and verbal communication from the 54 Advisory Committee to the public, including media, shall be done in consultation 55 with the CMMPO. 56 57 In support of these objectives, Central Massachusetts Regional Planning 58 Commission staff, under direction of its Executive Director, shall be assigned to 59 the Advisory Committee within the scope of work reflected in the Unified Planning 60 Work Program and subject to its budgetary limitations.

143 From: Bill Moisuk Sent: Friday, November 19, 2010 1:58 PM To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Major items from TE meeting

“Lively discussion”, nearly two hours

Historically‐oriented member felt non‐trail non‐highway projects were deemphasized in process – actually still eligible (I had to ask if eligibilities remained same, though). Later walked out on meeting in her ire

State emphasis on funding Baystate Greenway so heavy that it’s misread and misconstrued. It will be MassDOT’s top priority ONLY if a) areas overprogram enhancements or b) enhancement money goes unused, back to state. Eligible programmed projects of any type up to a region’s share will be matched 1:2 by state. Materials need to be rewritten

State will be putting up website to guide applicants (eligibility, apply to DOT, etc etc) over the next couple of months

This simplification seems better, though I have mixed feelings about state getting first app/review. On the one hand, they can deal with the eligibility misunderstandings/problems (hopefully – they seem to think this doesn’t occur), yet on the other they are often heavy‐handed in advancing their particular priorities

Design money will no longer be eligible for TE funding. This is felt to be offset by the fact that proponents no longer have to contribute/find/generate 10% of the construction funding

1:2 plus apps directly to state seem to add up to “pressure” to program TE despite our other needs, but MA has been far behind in total usage nationally and 1:2 at least appears to be a sweet deal

Unable to address how projects “in the pipeline” (begun, not programmed) will be dealt with – esp design money apps

I’ll hold my notes on this and can answer any further questions of course. Committee was NOT disbanded, may review website materials and other program overview rewrites.

TRANSPORTATION ENHANCEMENTS PROGRAM IMPROVEMENTS November 1, 2010

In order to support important policies and initiatives that promote walking and bicycling, such as its GreenDOT Policy Directive and the Healthy Transportation Compact, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) needs a robust and effective Transportation Enhancements (TE) Program. In coordination with regional planning representatives, a study Advisory Committee, and the public, MassDOT is implementing the following plan to improve the Massachusetts TE program by rationalizing the program process and providing it with increased funding.

Transportation Enhancements Project Development Process. Under the current process, TE project proponents complete a TE program application process to determine TE funding eligibility. If accepted for TE eligibility, proponents must then initiate the MassDOT Highway Division project development process. Having these two processes in series is redundant, inefficient, lengthens project development, and creates an obstacle to using TE funds for eligible projects and activities. • Eliminate the Redundant TE Program Application Process. The TE pre-application, final application, and the Enhancements Steering Committee (ESC), the body which has reviewed these applications to determine funding eligibility, are eliminated. • Integrate TE Eligibility Review into the MassDOT Project Development Process. Proposed TE projects now enter the MassDOT Highway Division project development process directly. TE project proponents submit a Project Need Form (PNF) then a Project Initiation Form (PIF) to initiate the Highway Division project development process. These forms now include TE program information, and TE eligibility is determined by Highway Division staff in the project development process. • Maximize Use of TE Funding for Eligible Activities. MassDOT Highway Division road and bridge projects may include elements that are eligible for TE funding, such as sidewalks, bicycle facilities, landscaping, streetscape improvements, and environmental and drainage improvements. With the requirement for TE program application and ESC approval eliminated, it is now much easier for Highway Division staff to identify and take credit for TE spending on all projects. • Provide Early Project Coordination and Technical Support. TE project proponents (typically municipalities) are encouraged to coordinate closely with Highway Division District staff and regional planning agency (RPA) staff from the earliest stages of project development. MassDOT Planning is developing on-line TE program guidance and training to support proponents.

Transportation Enhancements Funding. A central issue for the Massachusetts TE program is low spending levels due to competition for federal obligating authority. Programming of TE projects has principally been left to the metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs), which have historically focused their federal programming and obligation authority on other transportation priorities. • Increase Statewide TE Funding. MassDOT has long had a central pool of TE funding, but this “Statewide TE” funding pool has been very limited, with only $500,000 annually in recent years. Beginning in FY2011, this Statewide TE allocation has been increased to $3.5 million per year. • Use Statewide TE Funding to Match Regional TE Spending. In order to maximize the effectiveness of the Statewide TE funding, MassDOT will use it to match TE funds programmed by metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) at a two-to-one matching rate: for every $2 programmed by the MPO for TE projects, MassDOT would provide a $1 match from the Statewide TE funds. In FY2011, $2 million in Statewide TE funding has been allocated to the Route 70 stormwater remediation project in Clinton and Boylston, and the remaining $1.5 million will be available to match TE funds programmed by MPOs; in the future, the full $3.5 million will be available for matching MPO TE programming. These funds will be made available to MPOs through a weighted allocation based on the MPOs’ regional target funding levels; MPOs will be able to claim up to their maximum

Transportation Enhancements page 1 of 2 November 1, 2010 145 allocation by programming at least twice as much TE spending in that year’s Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). Any unclaimed Statewide TE funds will be redistributed to other MPOs. • Give Precedence in TE Funding for State Priorities. MassDOT priority for use of Statewide TE funding is to expand the Commonwealth’s network of shared-use paths, so MassDOT will allocate TE funds based the priorities listed below. These priorities will guide allocation of an MPO’s share of the Statewide TE funding, as well as allocation of any unclaimed Statewide TE funds to be redistributed. 1. Bay State Greenway Priority 100 (BSG 100). The Bay State Greenway, a key recommendation of MassDOT’s 2008 State Bicycle Transportation Plan, is a seven-corridor, 740-mile network of on- road and off-road bicycle facilities that connect urban centers, recreational areas, and other destinations throughout the Commonwealth. The BSG 100 is a list of the highest priority 100 miles of proposed shared-use paths that would provide the greatest shared-use path system connectivity improvements for urban centers, and the greatest transportation utility of proposed shared-use path projects. 2. Bay State Greenway Shared-Use Paths. If an MPO has no elements of the BSG 100, or if the BSG 100 elements are not developed to a point of being able to use TIP funding, then the next priority for use of Statewide TE matching funds would be other BSG shared-use paths. 3. Other Shared-Use Paths. Similarly, if an MPO has no elements of the BSG or if those are not ready for funding, the next priority for use of Statewide TE matching funds would be other shared- use paths. 4. Other TE Projects and Activities. Similarly, if an MPO has no shared-use paths or if those are not ready for funding, the next priority for use of Statewide TE matching funds would be other TE projects or activities. This includes TE-eligible elements of roadway projects (as discussed above). This maximizes each MPO’s opportunity to claim its allocation of Statewide TE funds. • Require Proponents to Fund Project Design. As with other project types, TE project proponents are required to fund planning and design in order to ensure municipal commitment to a project. However, TE project proponents are no longer required to provide a 10 percent match for construction, a cost which is roughly comparable to the planning and design cost. Except where MassDOT has made a prior commitment to provide TE funding for design, projects will no longer be eligible to receive TE funds for design, effective November 1, 2010.

Meeting Summary

General Discussion

Welcome and Introductions Jim Cope opened the meeting at approximately 10:00 a.m. All present briefly introduced themselves.

Meeting Notes – November 4, 2010 Two corrections were offered – Anne McGahan recommended that the phrase “an air quality benefit” be added to the second sentence of the first italicized paragraph on page 2, and George Snow (not Bill Moisuk) noted that the Westminster-South Street intersection wasn’t on the state’s Top 200 Crash List on page 5 in the italicized section under Montachusett Region. A motion was made to accept the November 4 meeting notes as corrected, which passed unanimously.

Boston Region

Somerville – Assembly Square Anne McGahan gave an overview of the Assembly Square Orange Line Station project in Somerville. This project includes adding a new Orange Line Station between Wellington and Sullivan Station. The air quality analysis for this project estimated the demand that the new station would likely generate and identified its effect on neighboring Orange Line Stations, bus routes in the corridor, and mode of access for the horizon year of 2030. She pointed out that the project is in the Regional Transportation Plan and was funded in part through ARRA. The Boston MPO has programmed $10 million of a total of $50 million for the project. Funds would be flexed to FTA. The project is related to a Transit Oriented Development.

Air Quality Summary Adding a transit station at Assembly Square reduces the number of auto trips produced and attracted to the study area. These diversions reduce the number of vehicle miles traveled that occur in the region resulting in a reduction in emissions. The VMT reductions are estimated at 9,100 on an average weekday in the 2030 build scenario. Six pollutants examined in the analysis are shown below. The pollutants are Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrous Oxide (NOx), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), Particulate Matter (PM), and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The memorandum includes a range of reduction for each pollutant. The information provided below is the lower range.

Average Weekday Emissions Reductions Due to Reduction in Passenger Vehicles in 2030

Pollutant Auto VMT CO (kg) NOx (kg) VOC PM 2.5 PM 10 CO2 (kg) Diversions Reduction (kg) (kg) (kg)

1,400 9,100 27.82 1.45 1.8 1.16 2.49 5,181.54

Don Cooke of EPA asked what was the horizon year. Anne McGahan of the Boston MPO indicated that the modeling work had set 2030. Don asked whether a year sooner than 2030 could be used, since the project will be operating before then. Anne said that she would look into whether an interpolation could be done. If so, she will send it out to the members of the committee.

A motion to approve the project’s eligibility was put forward and seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Central Massachusetts

Auburn – Southbridge Street (Route 12)/Washington Street (US Route 20) Bill Moisuk of the Central Massachusetts Regional Planning Commission gave a brief presentation on this intersection project. He noted that the project is already programmed in the TIP, and that most of the project is ineligible for CMAQ funding. However, one intersection appears to be eligible. It involves eliminating a double stop and adding a second left-turn lane, reconstructing the traffic signal system including retiming and coordination with other signals in the area, and upgrading signs and pavement markings. The estimated cost is $500,000.

Rana Al Jammal of PVPC asked about whether new sidewalks would be provided as part of the project. [Response?]

A motion to approve the project’s eligibility was put forward and seconded, and the motion passed with all in favor except for one abstention.

Worcester – Pleasant Street/Chandler Street/Mower Street Bill Moisuk provided background information on this complex intersection that includes a 4-way intersection that has six approaches, which results in a significant amount of congestion. The

Prepared by the Office of Transportation Planning 2 152

current alignment creates multiple conflict points, and it is aggravated by on-street parking, a split in southbound traffic channeling, and multiple curb cuts that give access to local business establishments. A reconfiguration is planned to optimize operations, and signals will be upgraded.

A motion to approve the project’s eligibility was put forward and seconded, and the motion passed with all in favor except for one abstention.

Worcester – Park Avenue/Highland Street Again, Bill Moisuk presented an improvement project involving the intersection of Park Street and Highland Street, which is next to Elm Park. Signals will be coordinated and upgraded and some channelization and alignment improvements will be made.

A motion to approve the project’s eligibility was put forward and seconded, and the motion passed with all in favor except for one abstention.

Worcester – Highland Street-Belmont Street Corridor, 4 Intersections Bill Moisuk gave an overview of this project that runs along the Highland Street corridor between its intersection with Lancaster Street and the Belmont Street-Worcester Center Boulevard crossing (Lincoln Square). The road network in this area serves many major traffic generators as well as handling substantial flows of north-south and east-west vehicle movements. The work emanates from a 2007 functional design report of 18 intersections performed by VHB. Two of the intersections covered in the report have been rebuilt, and six additional locations were determined to show reductions of delay if improvements were made.

A motion to approve the project’s eligibility was put forward and seconded, and the motion passed with all in favor except for one abstention.

Cape Cod

Dennis – Route 134 Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Lev Malakhoff made a brief presentation on the Route 134 improvement project, which will involve the addition of five-foot bicycle lanes and sidewalks as well as alignment improvements and signal upgrades. The project along Route 134 between Route 28 and Upper County Road is about 1.3 miles long, and this will provide a short-cut to the Cape Cod Rail Trail. Sidewalks and crosswalks will be provided along the east section of Upper County Road to serve a residential area.

A motion to approve the project’s eligibility was put forward and seconded, and the motion passed unanimously.

Pioneer Valley

Belchertown – Main Street/Maple Street/Jabish Street Rana Al Jammal presented this project, which will include traffic signal and roadway improvements, including widening to permit the establishment of a left-turn lane on South Main Street and widening of Jabish Street to allow an exclusive right-turn lane. Bicycle and pedestrian improvements, such as pedestrian phases in the signals and bicycle lanes, are part of the project.

Prepared by the Office of Transportation Planning 3 153

Bill Moisuk asked about the traffic analysis, which shows an excessive delay after the improvements are completed. Rana responded that they will review this further, particularly regarding the assumptions that were made.

A motion to approve the project’s eligibility was put forward and seconded, and the motion passed with all in favor except for one abstention.

Other Business

Alternative Fuel Vehicles – MassDOT Fleet Jim Cope reported that discussions are underway regarding acquisition of alternative fuel vehicles for the MassDOT fleet, potentially including additional hybrid and compressed natural gas vehicles. Additional information will be available at the next meeting of the committee.

Clean Air and Mobility Program – FY 2011 Jim Cope reported that the Boston MPO has selected projects to be funded from the Clean Air and Mobility Program, which was programmed in the regional TIP. The projects will be brought before the CMAQ Consultation Committee at its next meeting.

Next Meeting

The next meeting of the committee will be held in mid-June.

Good morning folks

Regarding tomorrow's TIP DAY conference calls, this is what I hope can happen

BRPC goes to District 1 (9:00-9:15)

FRPC and PVPC will go to District 2 (9:15 - 10:15)

MRPC and CMRPC will go to District 3 (10:15 - 11:15)

The phone number the districts will call is: 866-648-9462, to be followed by code 4585148. This will connect you to the Boston group here.

District 1 will obviously call in first. At the end of the BRPC session, the district will stay on the line, and district 2 will call in at the appropriate time. This connects both districts into Boston, and the discussion will continue with Franklin and Pioneer Valley beginning with the district 1 projects

District 1 can then hang up, and we will continue with the FRPC and PVPC projects.

At the end of that session, district 2 will stay on the line, and district 3 will call in at the appropriate time. We will do MRPC and CMRPC district 2-specific projects; then continue with district 3 projects.

Does this sound feasible to you all? If you have any questions or concerns, please call me at 617.973.7335. Otherwise, looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow, and thanking you in advance, I am,

166 Date: August 10, 2011 Location: CMRPC, 2 Washington Square, Union Station, Worcester Topic: Environmental Consultation Session for the development of the 2012-2015 TIP and the 2012 RTP Attendance: Andrea Briggs, Mass. Department of Environmental Protection Sujatha Mohanakrishnan, Staff Bill Moisuk, Staff Rich Rydant, Staff Shalini Sen, Staff

The August 10, 2011 ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTATION SESSION held as part of the development of the 2012-2015 CMMPO Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and the 2012 CMMPO Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) began at 10:10 AM.

Rich Rydant began the session with around-the-room introductions. The meeting is planned and held as an opportunity for the environmental community to both comment on the draft Regional Transportation Plan and as well as the annual TIP project listing and to provide input into the evolving consultation process.

Rich first talked briefly about the 2012 Regional Transportation Plan. It includes many maps and other materials that reference the environmental features and concerns of the region. For the first time, an entire chapter is devoted to environmental issues, covering air quality, energy sources and uses, climate change concerns, and the concept of “livability”. It addresses what has been done regionally in the recent past and what could be done in the near future. Along with general transportation planning themes and goals, the document also includes a list of planned major infrastructure projects, selected by the CMMPO, which could be undertaken given anticipated funding levels.

The 2012-2015 TIP was next discussed, including an overview of the annual development process with its project status updates and other responsibilities and communications due from individual communities. Special air quality aspects of the process were outlined, including conformity efforts for the state’s agreements with the EPA regarding ozone levels, special projects funded by CMAQ monies, and ongoing and upcoming emphases on the reduction of greenhouse gas levels.

The CMMPO continues to compile “Environmental Profiles” for project concepts early in the planning process so that potential challenges and opportunities can be identified while changes in plans are still practical and feasible. Staff hopes that the environmental community can help identify areas where constraints apply as well as potential mitigation strategies where total avoidance of environmental impact is not possible.

General discussion ensued. Some of the topics and areas discussed are listed below:

• A coordinated meeting with the CMRPC land use staff also in attendance might result in improved, growing attendance

167 • Featuring stormwater regulation concerns would also help; it is a hot topic in the environmental community

• The environmental community itself is a bit fractured or “siloed”; there is no one group or source that can coordinate a recommended contact list. Many agencies are indeed unaware of what others are doing

• Much activity is keyed to implementation or formal/final paperwork. It’s more difficult, but perhaps more rewarding, to get people involved at the planning stage

• Examining project issues and concerns for type of challenges and their location might show patterns that can lead to plans for early mitigation or for problem areas that can be more routinely checked in advance of project finalization

• An entity that can inject itself into preplanning screening with early mitigation / general overview advice would be very helpful

• The CMMPO via staff hopes to build a “toolbox” that can help proponents and other stakeholders consider environmental concerns earlier in the process. One way this could be made even more “real” to users would be via a white paper or handout that cited actual past examples of difficult situations and how they might be avoided in the future. Interview the project implementers for their take on what could have been done faster and better with proper knowledge and foresight, and share their experience

• Staff agreed to work with DEP in a joint effort to firm up staff’s environmental contact list; to add local agencies and people that may have been overlooked, and to cull out state agency contacts when better local, direct ones can be made

• Stormwater regulations are leading to increased public education efforts soon, if the agency can help somehow. Also, many towns are going to need to map all their culverts and other water control features. A joint project with local college interns or the like could be beneficial to town, environmental and transportation staff simultaneously

• DEP has grant money for clean energy implementation. If transportation or land use staff at CMRPC have appropriate projects, we may have a great basis for further close cooperation in the near future

Staff plans to continue to interact with the environmental community and learn how best to obtain and introduce environmental advice and input early in the ongoing transportation planning process. We seek any and all ideas on establishing means to promote regional environmental mitigation on a general scale, whether by policy and strategy or by particular actions and activities. We hope also to develop a “toolkit” that can assist communities and other project proponents with injecting appropriate levels of environmental thinking and planning into transportation project and policy concepts development in a timely manner.

This meeting adjourned at 11:30 AM.

Environmental Justice Review

178 Environmental Justice Outreach Efforts

The CMMPO staff attempts to engage environmental justice community members to take an active role in transportation planning. This is accomplished through traditional outreach methods and by ongoing relationship building that leads to on-going dialogue on the needs of individuals traditionally under-represented in the transportation process.

The CMMPO staff meets regularly with Common Pathways, a grassroots community activist organization that is “a coalition of Greater Worcester’s organizations and residents working together toward a healthier community for all”. Common Pathways’ mission is to engage low income and minority groups to advocate for themselves, alongside and integrated with other demographic groups that have typically taken more of a lead, such as white-colored middle income groups. Common Pathways has designated improving transportation to be one of their fundamental goals for a healthy community. CMMPO staff is a member of its Transportation Subcommittee where multimodal transportation needs of Environmental Justice (EJ) populations within the greater Worcester area (which contains the highest concentration of EJ populations for the region) are discussed. CMMPO staff has most recently assisted Common Pathways in organizing a forum to encourage employers to participate more actively in the transportation needs of their current and potential employees. In the summer of 2010, Common Pathways held “Neighborhood Conversations” with a number of local stakeholder groups.

CMMPO staff also includes members of EJ community groups on the CMMPO Advisory Committee. Through the Advisory Committee, staff is able to communicate ongoing studies, with emphasis on topics that highlight the needs of this special population. Through committee efforts, Walkable Community Workshops let by CMMPO staff are being planned for EJ areas that show high bike and pedestrian crashes in the recently completed safety analysis. The safety analysis is also being used to aid in TIP project designs. The Advisory Committee reviews and weighs in on TIP projects, both during development and during public review periods.

Because transit is of particular interest to EJ communities, the CMRPC assists the WRTA, a CMMPO member, is assessing the impact potential changes to EJ neighborhoods, and holding meetings in areas potentially affected. These meetings provided an opportunity to receive public comment in comfortable surroundings within walking distance of homes.

This past year, CMMPO staff continued to participate in a Worcester Mass in Motion grant effort. The effort was to research where policies set by public and private entities may be impeding healthy living initiatives. Through this effort and the efforts of CMMPO Advisory Committee members, efforts are being made to better inform EJ populations about roadway design hearings, and explaining why they are important to attend. Over the past year, design hearings have included more conversation about walk and bicycling issues.

Congestion Management Process (CMP) Summary

183 Congestion Management Process

Description

MassDOT predecessor agencies, the RPAs, the MBTA, other RTAs and the former Caravan for Commuters developed the Massachusetts Congestion Management Process (formerly the Congestion Management System or CMS) as a cooperative effort. Although considered a statewide system, CMRPC has been responsible for both developing and operating the region’s CMP on behalf of the CMMPO within the flexible framework established during the program’s development in the mid-1990s. Participating state agencies have and are expected to continue providing technical support to the RPAs. An operational CMP is required for all metropolitan areas in air quality nonattainment that have been designated as Transportation Management Areas (TMAs), including the CMMPO region.

The CMP within the CMMPO region includes focus segment roadways, critical intersections and Park-and-Ride facilities that were identified utilizing the criteria developed by the early Technical Team. CMRPC staff will continue to refine the established focus segment network through ongoing public participation activities and updates to the regional travel demand model. The CMMPO will also propose and evaluate alternative strategies to meet the needs identified for each congested corridor, intersection or Park-and-Ride facility. These strategies may include Transportation Systems Management (TSM) improvements, capital investments, Transportation Demand Management (TDM) techniques, and the deployment of Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) technologies. As the selection of alternative strategies has been a cooperative effort between the state and the RPAs, intraregional solutions to identified deficiencies are also considered appropriate.

The public participation effort associated with the CMP will continue to be conducted. The CMMPO Advisory Committee has and will continue to provide guidance, insuring that the local communities are informed of ongoing CMP activities. Ongoing CMMPO public participation efforts will continue to provide opportunity for review and comment.

Procedures

CMRPC’s responsibilities for the 2012 program year will include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following:

1. CMP Analyses: As necessary, staff will continue to identify, evaluate, and select strategies to alleviate measured congestion. TMC data, physical intersection inventories and signal timing & phasing data (as reflected under Task 2.2) will be utilized to conduct capacity analyses at identified critical intersections. (Data collected at some intersections will be evaluated as part of Task #3.1, which describes the development of a Bottleneck Reduction Program). Travel Time and Delay study information will also be analyzed. Based on the results of the analyses, improvement options will be suggested as appropriate to address quantified congestion. This may include signal warrants analyses and, where determined necessary, the compilation of basic conceptual improvement

184 plans. Some of these intersections will be monitored in order to measure traffic growth and the effectiveness of recent improvement projects. The results of the Berlin Park-and- Ride facility utilization study will also be analyzed and compared to previous studies. All work will be documented and presented in GIS maps and associated databases.

2. Integrate results from the CMP data collection and analysis into the preparation of the 2012 CMP Progress Report.

3. Public Outreach Program (POP) Activities: Staff will continue to coordinate ongoing CMP activities with the region’s communities through the MPO Advisory Committee.

4. Inventory Past CMP-Derived Suggested Improvement Options: Staff will catalogue past CMP-derived suggested improvement options and compare them to both existing and potential TIP projects. Also, consideration will be given to the host community receptiveness, participation, and priority. Additionally, staff will suggest groupings and/or series of improvements, such as Transportation Systems Management (TSM) techniques (signals, signs, and markings) as well as higher cost solutions where deemed necessary. Lastly, staff will suggest alternative plans for the implementation of suggested improvements.

Subject: Systematic approach to low cost safety improvements at intersections - Workshop September 28, 2010 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM

Good morning - This is to confirm your space at the one day FHWA workshop on September 28, 2010 between 9:00 AM - 3:30 PM. The workshop will be held in MassDOT District 3 (403 Belmont Street, Worcester, MA). If this is received in error, please let me know. Attached is the agenda.

In an effort to keep the workshop on this tight time schedule, please arrive on-time. Additionally, in an effort to save time during lunch, we are including a menu from a local establishment for lunch, Elsa's Eatery (http://www.elsaseatery.com/menu.html). If you would like to preorder your food, please let me know your order by Thursday, September 23, 2010. You can pay when you arrive at the workshop (please try to bring exact change and add 20% to your food order for tax, delivery and tip). Food will be delivered promptly at noon. Lunch time soft drinks will be provided so there is no need to order drinks.

FHWA has provided the data package (pdf) in advance of the workshop and I have attached it to this email. This will be reviewed in great detail at the workshop. This package shows the statewide severity, crash cluster information, and straw man inputs, organized by countermeasure. The last three tables are the state-wide summary of countermeasure benefits and costs (Table 83) and distributions by RPA in terms of estimated number of intersections to improve (Table 84) and costs (Table 85).

The detailed threshold reports for each RPA/MPO (zip file, saved in Excel 2003 format) are also attached. These are organized by countermeasure (in the same order as shown in the package) and list all of the intersection locations where the number of crashes exceeds the thresholds set in Tables 74-82 in the data package. Because these listings are quite long, the grouping feature in Excel was used so that it would be easy to expand and collapse the information based on what the user wanted to review. This too will be discussed in detail.

188 If you have any questions, prior to the workshop, please let me know.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Thank you,

Bonnie Polin MassDOT Highway Division

------Back on September 28, 2010, the Federal Highway Administration presented a one day workshop on systematic approaches to low cost intersection safety enhancements to over 35 people, including representatives from all MassDOT Districts and 11 RPAs/MPOs. This workshop described the benefits of the systematic low cost approach to intersection safety (see attached report) and provided a tool to ensure that HSIP qualified projects are available and can be prepared in a relatively quick manner to fill funding gaps in regional TIP targets. It also provided more diversity to have safety project improvements performed at the local level within the regions by providing a funding source for the improvements that has not been available in the past for work on local roadways not eligible for funding under other traditional funding categories.

190 Based on that workshop, MassDOT decided to pursue this approach to stop-controlled intersections which is consistent with strategies in our Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) to reduce fatal and injury crashes at intersections. The proposed improvements will consist of the "basic set of sign and pavement markings", which research has shown to have a crash reduction factor of 40%. The set of improvements includes the following items, where feasible and practical: • Doubled up (left and right) oversize, advance intersection warning signs with street name sign plaques, on the mainline, uncontrolled approaches • Doubled up (left and right) oversize, advance "stop ahead" intersection warning signs, on the stop controlled approaches • Doubled up (left and right) oversize, "STOP" signs • Installation of a minimum 6 foot wide raised splitter island on the stop approach (if feasible, and no widening is required) • Properly placed stop bar(s) • Removal of any foliage or parking that limits sight distance • Double arrow warning signs at the stem of T intersections Using the 2006-2008 crash data, 648 stop-controlled intersections were identified as having 9 or more crashes. Fifty-seven (57) of those intersections are under the MassDOT jurisdiction, five (5) are DCR jurisdiction and 586 intersections are locally owned. The attached Excel file includes a listing of the resulting intersections and summary tables of intersections by RPA / District and jurisdiction. The following steps should be taken to advance this program. • Review the identified intersections to make certain they are in fact correctly identified as stop-sign controlled intersections, the identified jurisdiction is correct and whether or not there have been improvements made or planned at these locations. The MassDOT Safety Management Unit will review the intersections identified as "State controlled" and requests the MPOs to work with the local communities to review the intersections identified as "locally controlled". The attached spreadsheet should be completed and returned to Bonnie Polin ([email protected]). To assist in this process, Google Map links are included to view the intersections. • Prepare sketches and item quantities for improvements Based on the above information, the MassDOT Safety Management Unit will prepare sketches (with item quantities) of improvements at each of the state-controlled intersections. The MassDOT will assist the MPOs to work with the local communities to prepare sketches (with quantities) of the locally controlled intersections. The MPOs will work with the local communities to ensure that the communities are in favor of the prepared improvements. • Prepare project bid packages. The above can then be prepared into project bid packages. Separate packages will be prepared. One package will be prepared for the State-controlled intersections and separate packages will be prepared for the locally controlled intersections, by MPO. • The State-controlled intersections will be improved as a 2012 HSIP Statewide Project. The locally controlled intersection improvements will be packaged and ready to go, pending funding availability in the regional targets for HSIP or in Statewide HSIP. We ask you, as a first step, to review the locally controlled intersections within your region and to verify that they are in fact, stop-sign controlled intersections, correctly identified as locally controlled intersections and that no recent improvements were made to the intersection (or are planned for the near future). Please complete the columns at the end of the attached table and return to Bonnie Polin ([email protected]) by July 1, 2011. Feel free to contact Bonnie with any questions.

I-495/Route 9 Study

204 From: Cenizal, Callida (DOT) [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, August 05, 2011 9:31 AM To: MaryEllen Blunt Cc: Richard Rydant Subject: Language 495/9 study

Hi Mary Ellen,

I recall you mentioning to me the need for some language in the RTP or UPWP concerning the I-495/Rte. 9 Study. Here is some language below, lifted from the scope of work and from what the Boston MPO has included in their documents: "The purpose of this project is to conduct a study that will evaluate and address transportation issues concerning the interchange of Interstate 495 and Route 9 in the Towns of Westborough and Southborough and the surrounding region. This study will include the analysis of a number of roadway concepts, including non-interchange scenarios that are similar in scope to the analyses conduced previously for the Route I-495 Corridor Study. A recommended plan of future transportation improvements (short-term and long-term), based on the alternatives analysis, will be the end product of this project. The limits of this study along Interstate 495 extend from one mile north of Route 9 to one mile south of Interstate 90. On Route 9, the study extends from one mile west of Interstate 495 (including the interchange ramps at Route 9/Computer Drive/Research Drive) to one mile east of Interstate 495. On Interstate 90, the study extends from one mile west of Interstate 495 to one mile east of Interstate 495."

Let me know if you want more information; the Boston MPO went into a lot more detail in their documents.

Thank you, Calli

3.) Listing of Regionally Significant Projects

One project included within the region’s 2012 to 2015 Transportation Improvement Program has been identified as “regionally significant”. The project is as follows:

1.) Worcester – Shrewsbury: Route 9 Bridge over Lake Quinsigamond

The following pages provide a summary of this forthcoming project.

206

MassDOT Highway Division

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Background The Kenneth F. Burns Bridge carries Route 9, known as Belmont Street in Worcester and Turnpike Road in Shrewsbury, over Lake Quinsigamond. This is the fifth crossing to be built at this location, the first being a floating bridge that consisted of logs chained together to carry horse-drawn wagons on the Boston -Worcester Turnpike. The current structure dates from 1916 and has been repaired and reconfigured several times throughout the past ninety years. An evaluation of the structure conducted by MassDOT Highway Division in 2008 determined that the Burns Bridge had deteriorated beyond repair and should be replaced. A system of temporary supports, routinely monitored by Highway Division has been installed in the Burns Bridge to ensure public safety between now and replacement of the structure.

Current Process MassDOT Highway Division has assembled a design team to conduct a type study and develop the design of the chosen replacement bridge type, known as the preferred alternative, to the 25% design level. The current design team will also develop the “design/build” package which will guide the work of the contractor that will be chosen to build the new bridge.

The type study process is a preliminary evaluation of the bridge types considered for the replacement bridge and consists of the following:

• Coordination with stakeholders including members of the public, the municipalities of Shrewsbury and Worcester, recreational users of the lake, major regional institutions such as UMass Medical and others; • Evaluation of possible bridge types; • Identifying environmental permitting requirements; • Identifying preliminary staging alternatives, potential ROW impacts and environmental impacts; • Establishing preliminary costs for each possible bridge type; and • Selection of a preferred alternative to recommend to MassDOT

The type study will define the basis upon which MassDOT selects a preferred alternative bridge type to progress to the 25% design level and ultimately the preparation of a design/build procurement package.

207

Selecting A Preferred Alternative Selecting a preferred alternative is one of the major tasks of the 25% design process. A wide range of factors go in to deciding which type of bridge is appropriate for a given location. Factors that will help make this decision with regard to the replacement span for the Burns Bridge include, but are not limited to:

• Cost to build and maintain the new structure • Opportunity to use accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques to reduce construction duration • Environmental and right-of-way impacts • Traffic Impacts • Aesthetics

Involving the Public MassDOT is committed to meaningful, effective public involvement and invites abutters, users of Lake Quinsigamond, and representatives of regional institutions to participate in this initiative. The 25% design process is not the only opportunity, but is one of the best opportunities, for stakeholders to become involved in the design of the replacement structure for the Kenneth F. Burns Bridge. MassDOT Highway Division will hold briefings throughout the 25% design phase to provide members of the public with the opportunity to voice their questions and concerns; learn about the project and comment on the proposed bridge types.

While the decision regarding what bridge type is actually constructed ultimately resides with MassDOT Highway Division, the public’s input with regard to this choice is taken seriously. MassDOT strives to incorporate all comments received to the extent possible given the scope, cost and schedule constraints for this project.

Looking Ahead to Construction MassDOT Highway Division anticipates issuing a design/build procurement package in Spring 2011 with construction anticipated to start in the Fall of 2011. Given the significance of the Burns Bridge in the local and regional transportation network, the design team will develop construction and traffic management plans that help to minimize disruption to commuters and other bridge users.

Accommodating All Users During Construction MassDOT Highway Division understands the importance of the Kenneth F. Burns Memorial Bridge to all users. During construction, two east and westbound lanes will be maintained during peak hours to ensure the continued smooth flow of traffic. MassDOT is also aware of the important role the bridge plays for local pedestrians, particularly in crossing from homes on the Worcester side of the lake to shopping and dining amenities in Shrewsbury. MassDOT will maintain pedestrian access on at least one side of the bridge at all times

208 during construction. For temporary pedestrian detours to either side of the bridge, MassDOT will provide safe pedestrian access at all times in compliance with American with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards.

209 BURNS BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT

OVERVIEW

The Kenneth F. Burns Bridge: The Kenneth F. Burns Bridge is a concrete deck arch span bridge comprised of a total of six arches and a viaduct. The bridge carries Massachusetts Route 9, known in the project area as Belmont Street or Turnpike Road, over Lake Quinsigamond, between the City of Worcester and the Town of Shrewsbury. Role: Route 9, and the Burns Bridge, both play a major role in the local and regional transportation network. According to traffic counts obtained in July, 2008, a total of 47,700 cars travel over the Burns Bridge each weekday. Project History: Originally constructed in 1916, the Burns Bridge was the fifth crossing of Lake Quinsigamond to be built. The current bridge has been repaired and rehabilitated several times throughout its lifespan. Analysis undertaken by MassDOT Highway Division in 2008 showed that the current bridge has deteriorated beyond repair and must be replaced. MassDOT will work with the community build a replacement bridge that meets their needs. Project Goal: To select a bridge type that will provide for a speedy, cost-effective, and aesthetically pleasing replacement for the Burns Bridge so that Route 9 can continue to carry local and regional traffic safely and effectively. Project Cost: Approximately $137 Million. 80% of the funding will be provided by the Federal Highway Administration with the remaining 20% coming from MassDOT Division of Highways. Project Timeline: The project is currently in the pre-25% design phase. Construction is expected to begin in 2011. An Accelerated Bridge: The Accelerated Bridge Program commits $3 Billion over the next eight years to repair or replace structurally deficient bridges in Massachusetts. The Burns Bridge will be replaced under this program using a “design/build” approach that will minimize disruption associated with project and help to contain costs. Keeping Traffic Flowing: Given the major role played by Route 9, MassDOT Highway Division will ensure that traffic continues to flow during construction. At this time, the project’s design team is analyzing different ways to accomplish this goal ranging from lane shifts on the existing structure to creation of a full temporary bridge. Some disruption to traffic flow is inevitable during this necessary replacement however the Highway Division will work to keep it to a minimum throughout construction. Public Involvement: The bridge plays a major role in the day-to-day lives of local residents and area commuters. A number of properties closely abut the Burns Bridge. Lake Quinsigamond is heavily used by recreational and sport boaters. MassDOT Highway Division is committed to the meaningful involvement of all stakeholders. Later this year, the Highway Division will launch a website that will allow users to sign up for email alerts regarding the project, read about the progress of work, and submit comments to the project team.

FHWA Guidance on Advance Construction

AC projects are to be listed in the TIP and/or STIP in both the year that the project is to be implemented and the year in which the conversion takes place. Use of AC is subject to the availability of other than federal funds (e.g. state funds) in the year in which the project is to be implemented, and the availability of federal funds in the year in which the AC project is to be converted to a regular federal-aid project. Therefore, funding for the project, for the year in which the project is to be authorized, should be shown in the TIP and/or STIP as “other than federal funding” and appropriate notification should be provided in the TIP and/or STIP so it is clearly understood that these “other funds” are available and that future federal funds may be committed to these AC projects. For the year in which the conversion to federal funds is scheduled to take place, the project would be listed in the TIP and/or STIP as a federally funded project. The conversion would free up state funds that would then be available for use in that year. The total of the converted AC projects and other projects programmed for federal expenditure in a given year will be limited to reasonably available federal funds for that year (“available or committed” for the first two years of a TIP/STIP in a nonattainment or maintenance area). Additionally, the programming of federal funds is constrained by annual authorized funding.

From a public involvement perspective, this will both assist stakeholders and other interested parties in their understanding of the AC concept and will also aid decision makers by clarifying that they may be constraining future uses of federal funds to honor the commitment made to the AC improvement. It is essential that the parties involved in developing and processing the TIP and/or STIP clearly understand that inclusion of an AC project in the TIP and/or STIP in the year the project is to be implemented, represents agreement with possible conversion to federal funding (and inclusion in a subsequent TIP and/or STIP) when federal funds become available and the decision is made to convert.

The plans are at 25% design level and the City is waiting for comments from MassDOT Bridge Division. It is expected that the plans will move forward quickly and that this project can be advertised in 2012

Project Description, May 2007

Earmarked HPP projects #918 & #4288 are intended to fund the Design and Construction of infrastructure improvements envisioned as part of the ongoing Kilby-Gardner-Hammond Neighborhood Revitalization Initiative in the City of Worcester. According to the HPP project’s Congressional sponsors, it is their intent that the earmarked funding totaling $1.8 million be used to design and construct a new bicycle/pedestrian path linking the Kilby-Gardner-Hammond neighborhood to the Boys & Girls Club and other community facilities within the immediate area. This project is intended to complement a recent reconfiguration of local neighborhood streets.

The HPP project’s Congressional sponsors have further indicated that they also intend the earmarked funding to be used for the acquisition of real property to be developed as a municipally-owned parking facility within the Kilby-Gardner-Hammond Neighborhood.

It is envisioned that the reconfigured road network, bicycle/pedestrian path and parking facility will together create a safer pedestrian environment and relieve traffic congestion in this densely populated area of Worcester.

218

Project Description Update, June 2007

Based on earlier FHWA review of the Kilby-Gardner-Hammond HPP project description provided by the Congressional sponsors, it was indicated that there is sufficient flexibility in the statutory language, “infrastructure improvements” and “reconfigure Kilby-Gardner-Hammond area road network,” to conclude that the activities required for the design and construction of a pedestrian path and bikeway, appear to be activities eligible for federal-aid funding under the HPP projects referenced.

However, based on their understanding of the project, FHWA did not believe the proposed parking facility would meet the eligibility requirements for approval as a “Fringe and Corridor Parking Facility”. They noted that the costs associated with the replacement of parking spaces lost due to the reconfiguration of the area roadway network under a Federal-aid Highway project could be applied to the cost of constructing a municipally owned parking facility on a one-to-one basis. Under this situation, these costs could be eligible under the HPP project descriptions noted. Parking spaces constructed in excess of the one-to-one replacement ratio would need to be funded with other than Federal-aid funds. If there is not sufficient lost parking available to justify the replacement parking facility envisioned and it was the intent to provide for the development of this parking facility under HPP Projects, FHWA recommended that the project description be clarified through future legislation.

223 Grand Trunk Trail (Multi-Use)

SAFETEA-LU HPP#: 2439 State ID#: MA 162 Earmarked Activity: Design & Construction Communities: Towns of Southbridge & Sturbridge Proponent: Army Corps of Engineers, Westville Dam Contact: ACE, Thomas Chamberland ______

Project Description, April 2008

The Town of Sturbridge has requested the release of $45,000 in funds designated for HPP #2439 for the purpose of designing a 3.5 mile multi-use trail known as the Grand Trunk Trail, Westville Section. The earmarked federal-aid funds will be matched with $5,000 from the towns of Sturbridge and Southbridge for total design fund of $50,000. This funding will be used for final design and permitting.

The proposed trail will start at the intersection of River Road and Farquhar Road in the Town of Sturbridge and end at West Street in the town of Southbridge. The trail will follow a southeasterly direction along the Quinebaug River, using Town of Sturbridge property and portions of the abandoned Grand Trunk rail bed. It will continue through the Westville Lake Flood Control project owned and operated by the Army Corps of Engineers, onto property owned by the Town of Southbridge (using the completed section of the Heritage Trail), ending on West Street, adjacent to West Street Elementary School.

The Town of Sturbridge seeks to administer the design contract, meeting MassHighway guidelines for design. The selected design/engineering firm is CME. It is anticipated that design and permitting will take about 1 year to complete. For discussion, planning and budget calculation purposes, the trail has been divided into 10 segments, along with 4 main budget work items. The project proponents are allowing for 10% design and planning and a 10% contingency fund. In general the project scope includes:

• Design, permitting and constructing 3,901’ of new trail (from tree removal to final surface)

224 • The trail ownership is as follows:

1. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE): 1631’ 2. Town of Sturbridge: 1854’ 3. USACE Morse easement: 416’

• Design and reconstruction of an 8 car parking lot at the trail head

The project includes benches, interpretive kiosks, and Federal ADA proposed rule trail compliance. The trail design will be a 10’ wide stone dust surface with 2’ grass shoulders on each side for a total width of 14’. A 6’ gravel sub grade will be applied over soil stabilization fabric where the new section of trail is being constructed. Cross drains and drainage structures will be installed, repaired, or upgraded as necessary. In general, all new trail grades will not exceed 8% over 200’ so as to meet ADA guidelines. In those areas where grades exceed 6%, an appropriate soil stabilizer will be combined with the stone dust to make the trail more resistant to erosion. One (1) ADA compliant bench will be installed for every 3000’ of trail. Existing trail surfaces that essentially meet the final design criteria will be reconstructed through the application of additional stone dust along with shoulder and drainage repairs.

225 HPP # 2439 DRAFT request: Design and Construct trail from Sturbridge to Southbridge The Town of Sturbridge requests release of $ 44,000.00 in funds from HPP # 2439: for the purpose to design a ¾ (three quarter) mile trail known as the Grand Trunk Trail, Westville Section. These design funds will be matched with $8800.00 from the town of Sturbridge for total design fund amount of $52800.00.

These funds will be used for final design and permitting of 3901’ of trail. The trail will start at the western side of the Ed Calcutt Bridge and go to the intersection of River and Farquhar Rd in the Town of Sturbridge. A portion of this section, 1631’, will be on Federal Flood Control project owned lands of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, 2309’ are owned by the Town of Sturbridge and 416’are under permanent easement to the Town of Sturbridge. This section of trail will provide the missing connection to make the trail continuous from The U. S. Army Flood Damage reduction Project, Westville Lake, 200 Marjorie Lane in Southbridge to River Rd in Sturbridge, a distance of 2.8 miles. (Ortho Map attached)

The Town of Sturbridge seeks to administer the design contract, and has met several times with Mr. Arthur Frost, District 3 Engineer to review design considerations and the two sections that will be constructed... A pre-qualified Mass Highway design/engineering firm, CME, will provide engineering services. We request the release of $ 44,000.00 funds, to which the Town of Sturbridge will match $8800.00, the required 20% match for a total design expenditure of $52,800.00. We anticipate this design and permitting portion to take about 1 year.

The released funds will accomplish the following work: 100% required design and permitting for 3901’ of new trail in Sturbridge. The trail design will be a 10’ wide stone dust surface with 2’ grass shoulders for a total width of 14’ designed to meet Federal ABA proposed rule trail compliance. Drainage structures will be installed, repaired, upgraded where needed. Several areas where grades do exceed 6% and other area where appropriate soil stabilizer will be used in the stone dust surface to harden the trail to erosion. In general design will comply with Mass Highway design standards or waivers requested. The trail ownership is as follows (all distances approximate) until final design completed, 1: U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Fee: 1631’ 3: Town of Sturbridge, 1854’ 4: Not yet acquired, Morse easement 416’ (All under USACE Easement for flooding)

We are requesting Mass Highway administration of the construction contracts. A Challenge Partnership Agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Town of Sturbridge will be executed to allow work on those portions of the trail that are owned in Fee by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.

226 227 Main & Maywood Streets

SAFETEA-LU TI#: 177 State ID#: MA 213 Earmarked Activity: Design & Construction Community: City of Worcester Proponent: Clark University City Contact: Worcester DPW & Parks, Joseph Borbone Contact: Clark University, Jack Foley, VP ______

Project Status, August 2011

Worcester DPW&P is preparing a Request for Proposals to hire a design team. A consultant will be on-board by the end of the fiscal year.

Project Description, April 2008

The HPP earmark language for this project states “Design and construct roadway and streetscape improvements along Main Street and Maywood Street, Worcester”. Neighborhood advocate Clark University has developed preliminary plans for roadway and streetscape improvements along this section of Main Street. The conceptual plans were presented to the community through the Main South CDC and St. Peter’s Parish. The project architect (Lamoureux & Pagano) has also presented preliminary design concepts to Worcester DPW & Parks.

As a project proponent, Clark University is seeking to link the federal-aid roadway and streetscape project with a joint development project between the University and St. Peter’s Parish on adjacent private property owned by the two institutions. The project proponents fully understand that the earmarked HPP funding can only be used to construct the improvements planned within the public right-of-way. The area targeted for improvements encompasses the section of Main Street from Maywood Street to Downing Street and may potentially include limited work at the front of the city- owned University Park.

An intended result of the earmarked improvements is to provide a more pedestrian-friendly streetscape along this segment of Main Street. Neckdowns will be used to reduce street crossing distances and brick crosswalks will be used to delineate pedestrian safe zones. Other aspects of the HPP project include roadway and sidewalk improvements, new overhead lighting as well as various streetscape amenities.

228 A final design for the project is anticipated in early to mid 2009. Early plans call for the initial implementation of the project’s public-related aspects followed by the joint development project planned by both Clark University and St. Peter’s Parish. The project proponents intend to work closely with MassHighway and the city of Worcester throughout the design and construction process. To date, Clark University has provided funding for the preparation of preliminary design plans as well as necessary soil tests.

MASSACHUSETTS BLACKSTONE RIVER BIKEWAY WORCESTER - BLACKSTONE

Project Description: This project involves the construction 28 miles of the Blackstone River Bikeway through the communities of Worcester, Millbury, Sutton, Grafton, Northbridge, Uxbridge, Millville and Blackstone as part of a federally-designated heritage corridor. The completed bikeway will ultimately provide a shared use path connection between the Cities of Worcester, MA, and Providence, RI. Background: The ROW acquisition associated with the project, as well as anticipated costs for construction, have always been significant challenges to completion of the bikeway. If the project is built through the TIP using Federal funds, the design must meet Federal guidelines. The high cost and significant environmental impacts of the project identified in the draft EIR prompted a reassessment of this approach. Status: DCR has agreed to accept full project management responsibilities for the Blackstone River Bikeway. DCR will first work toward completing the design, permitting and construction of Segments 1, 2 and a portion of 3 (Blackstone, Millville and Uxbridge). These segments will complete the bikeway between the RI State line and Riverbend Farm in Uxbridge, a DCR-owned property. Recognizing the right of way and environmental challenges, DCR will use a greenways approach to move toward completion of the remaining portion of the bikeway between Riverbend Farm and the completed Segment 6 in Millbury and Worcester, traversing Uxbridge, Northbridge, Sutton, Grafton and Millbury, and including Segment 5. This means that the bikeway will be built to reflect the various challenges that are present, including use of off-road segments, on-road segments, soft surfaces, and reduced cross-sections. Segment 7 (PROJIS #454778) will begin at the terminus of Segment 6 at Brosnihan Square and will have dual Worcester termini at City Hall and Union Station. The City of Worcester and the Blackstone Valley Corridor Commission will complete the design, with MassDOT oversight, using a combination of Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands (ATPPL) federal grant funds and HPP earmark funds. The construction estimate is currently $2.5 million and will be funded through an HPP earmark. That funding appears on the FY 2013 element of the draft FY 2012-15 TIP currently released for public comment. D3 contact is Arthur Frost (508.929.3837) Cost: The total cost to build the proposed off-road bikeway, conforming to AASHTO and MassDOT guidance, had been estimated at $70 million, exclusive of ROW costs. It is likely that the cost under the current approach will be significantly less, but those costs have not yet been estimated. There is an additional $2.8 million allocated for MassDOT’s contract for preliminary design and the EIR (with Parsons Engineering). These remaining funds, as well as an additional $1.2 million, will be transferred to DCR through an inter-agency agreement. This $4 million will be used to fund design of the bikeway between the RI State line in Blackstone and Riverbend Farm in Uxbridge. MassDOT has transferred $34 million in Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP) funds to DCR. DCR proposes to use a portion of these funds that had been identified for pedestrian bridges toward construction of this phase of the Bikeway.

232 BRIEFING MEMORANDUM BLACKSTONE RIVER CORRIDOR PROJECT July, 2011 Prepared by Recreation Facilities Planning, Department of Conservation & Recreation

Project Background: • In 1985, the Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor (known after 1999 as the John H.Chafee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor) was designated by the United States Congress, following the path of the Blackstone River from Providence to Worcester. This designation set in motion the vision of creating a continuous bike and pedestrian corridor from Worcester, Massachusetts to Providence, Rhode Island. • The distance of the Heritage Corridor from Worcester to Providence totals 48 miles. • The Blackstone River Heritage Corridor connects historic and cultural sites, natural resources, recreation facilities, and commercial and residential areas.

Progress Update (Rhode Island): • In 1997, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and Department of Transportation began work on the first Rhode Island segment of the corridor. • Rhode Island has made significant progress on their proposed 20 mile section (MA border to Providence). They have completed and opened 10 miles of multi-use recreational path between Valley Falls Heritage Park in Cumberland and River’s Edge Park in Woonsocket. • Additional segments are under design to extend the path further through Woonsocket to the Massachusetts border and south into Central Falls and Pawtucket.

Progress Update (Massachusetts): • In 1996, a study undertaken by MassDOT (MHD at the time) and the DCR (DEM at the time) produced a plan for seven segments of trail linking Worcester with Blackstone, Massachusetts and the Rhode Island border. Following is an update for each of these 7 segments:

• Segment 1 (Blackstone/Rhode Island Border to Central Street Millville, 3.5 miles):

¾ MassDOT transferred, via an ISA, $850,000 to DCR to design this segment. ¾ DCR has award the design contract to the consultant team of VHB and FST. Design work began in Fall, 2010.

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS · EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL AFFAIRS Department of Conservation and Recreation 251 Causeway Street, Suite 600 Boston MA 02114-2119 617-626-1250 617-626-1351 Fax www.mass.gov/dcr 233

• Segment 1 (continued): ¾ MassDOT transferred via an ISA an additional $4,000,000 to DCR for design of Segments 1 & 2 and construction of Segment 1. ¾ Complexity of analysis and design for bridges, and development of multiple bid packages will result in a design fee increase of approximately $673,500. DCR’s ABP funds will cover this design cost increase. Total design fee for Segment 1will total $1,523,800. ¾ Preliminary cost estimate for construction of all of Segment 1 equals $15,256,265 ($13,256,265 for all bridges and viaducts, and $2,000,000 for the pathway and park amenities). NOTE: With 25% contingency this total cost estimate equals $19,675,020. ¾ DCR has complete ownership of this entire segment, as part of the SNETT corridor, with the exception of 2 locations where the DCR right of way overlaps the Providence and Worcester Railroad right of way. Negotiations have commenced for the rights for this greenway to access the P&W overlap land areas. ¾ There will be temporary easements required at 7 locations along the corridor for bridge construction access. There are 2 permanent drainage easements needed. ¾ Due to cost and complexity of viaducts, the project scope has been modified with recommendation to cut Canal Street bridge, St. Paul St. bridge, single span viaduct and seven span viaduct. Cost implications follow below. ¾ Costs of elements proposed to be removed from Blackstone Segment 1 project: St. Paul bridge = $448,100; Canal St. bridge = $1,469,400; single span viaduct = $1,484,000; seven arch viaduct = $6,120,000. Total cost estimate for elements being cut from Blackstone Segment 1 = $9,521,500 (with 25% contingency totals $11,901,875).

• Total cost estimate for remaining seven bridges that will be done with DCR ABP funding for Blackstone Segment 1 totals approximately $6,115,140 (with 25% contingency totals $8,153,520). Adding pathway and park amenity cost of $2,000,000 (funded from DOT ISA, not ABP) brings the present total cost estimate for constructing reduced section of segment 1 to $8,115,140 (estimate with 25% contingency totals $10,153,520).

• Segment 2 Uxbridge – 3 miles: Segment 2 was approaching 75% design, but due to a number of complications MassDOT chose to allow the contract with Cullinan Engineering to expire. Since a portion of Segment 2 from Center Street to Route 146a

234

will require local permitting only, and no land acquisitions, DCR recommends including this portion of Segment 2 in the Segment 1 design project. DCR has taken over the completion of design for Segment 2, and estimates the cost to complete the design at $350,000. This design fee will be covered by recent funds (totaling $4,000,000) transferred to DCR from DOT as an amendment to the original $850,000 ISA. Total DCR funds presently available for the project, outside of the DCR ABP, totals $4,850,000. • DCR anticipates starting Segment 2 design work in late, 2011.

• Segments 3, 4 & 5 (Uxbridge to Millbury – 16 miles): This section comprises the most complex 16 miles of the entire project. MassDOT was managing a $5,200,000 design contract with Parsons Engineering for these segments, but decided to terminate this work in 2009. As the design evolved over the prior two years, it became increasingly clear that implementation of these segments as an off-road bike/pedestrian transportation corridor, built to ASHSTO standards, would be extremely difficult and costly. The cost estimate for just construction was approaching $60,000,000, not including any right of way work which would be extensive. The projected environmental impacts were also very significant, and mitigation sites and plans were not yet developed.

NOTE: Regarding the future of Segments 4, 5 and the remainder of 3 DCR has recommended the project scope be revised and that this portion of the project move forward at a later date as a “greenway” (not an ASHTO standard multi- use path). A greenway will allow both bicycle and pedestrian use, but we would have much more flexibility in designing a corridor that would be far less costly and have much less impact on the natural environment. We should also consider designing on-road sections when off-road sections don’t make fiscal or environmental sense. This approach has been presented and supported by key state and local elected officials, DOT, and the National Park Service. It is also recommended to evaluate these sections as a Greenway through a feasibility study to review alternative alignments and path cross sections for Segments 3- 5.

• Segment 6 (Millbury to Worcester – 3.5 miles): This segment between Rte. 122A and Rte. 290 was constructed as part of the Rte. 146/MA Turnpike Interchange project. It has been open to the public for three years. The DCR is working with MassDOT and DCAM on completing the formal transfer of care and control of this segment to DCR.

235

• Segment 7 (Rte. 290 to Worcester City Common, via Union Station – 2.5 miles): This segment is under design through DOT. DOT has hired the consultant team of FST and VHB to do this design. DCR will have minimal involvement in this segment. We will provide design input, especially as it relates to connecting with Segment 6.

Acquisition Needs for Segments 1, 2, and Portion of 3: • Two drainage acquisitions required for Segment 1 (all DCR property - SNETT). • Two access acquisitions are required from the P&W Railroad for Segment 1 • Segment 2 requires a moderate number of acquisitions (10 takings from 3 owners, 14 permanent easements, and 39 temporary easements). It is very difficult to cost estimate this effort. Some towns have stated that they were confident many would be gifts. A safe assumption is that it could cost as much as $1,000,000 and as little as $200,000. • The portion of Segment 3 is not advanced enough to know exact acquisition needs, but there would be a number of required takings. DCR already owns about half of this proposed section. • A portion of the $4,850,000 ISA funds may be used to assist DCR with acquisition work on segments 2 and 3.

Summary: DCR and MassDOT have proactively negotiated a solution to moving the Blackstone River Corridor Project forward in the most efficient manner. We agreed that moving all present focus onto Segments 1, 2 and a portion of 3 made the most sense. As part of the agreement related to ABP funding, DCR and elected officials agreed to earmark $15,000,000 of DCR’s ABP funding toward completing development of the eleven bridges in Segment 1. We have further agreed to utilize $4,850,000 from two ISA’s on design of Segments 1 and 2, and construction of Segment 1.

DCR anticipated product delivery includes: • Full construction of most of Segment 1, from the depot parking lot to the 146A (eliminates two bridges and 7 arch and single arch viaducts). Projected construction start –spring, 2012. • Complete 100% design and permitting for Segment 2. Cost = $350,000. Projected start of design and permitting – fall, 2011. • Complete design and permitting for section of Segment 3 (122N in Uxbridge to DCR’s Riverbend Farm Heritage Park, total length = 3.5 miles). Cost = $450,000. Projected start of design and permitting – fall, 2011. • Utilize any remaining funds from $4,850,000 ISA on acquisition needs in Segments 1, 2 and 3.

236

• DCR will need additional federal/state or private funding to implement construction of Segment 2 and the section of Segment 3. Preliminary construction cost estimate = $7,000,000 for Segment 2 and $4,000,000 for Segment 3. Neither MassDOT nor DCR currently have any funding to support this, so we would seek help from the Congressional delegation.

Permitting Background & Needs: • An ENF was filed for the Blackstone River Bikeway Project in October of 2005. On 11/14/05 the Secretary of EOEEA issued a Certificate granting a Phase 1 Waiver for Section 2 (Millville and Uxbridge) of the project and a scope for a single EIR for Sections 3, 4 and 5. Given the proposed project changes this was revised, and a new ENF was filed with EOEEA for Segment 1, and a portion of Segment 2 (from Centre Street, Millville to Route 146a in Uxbridge) in April 2011. A Certificate was issued in May 2011. • In order for the federal environmental review (NEPA) of Sections 1, 2 and 3 to be eliminated, we will have to demonstrate that Sections 1, 2, and 3 are a standalone project. We feel confident that a meeting including DCR, MassDOT and FHWA should be able to achieve this objective. • Standard permitting will be required for Segment 1, 2 and the proposed section of Segment 3. These segments will require a Variance from the Wetlands Protection Act. • A Notice of Intent was filed with the Blackstone Conservation Commission in the Spring 2011. An Order of Conditions was issued for the project in May 2011. • The approved strategy will be to separate permitting for segments 1, 2, and part of 3 from the rest of the project. • DCR and its consultant team of VHB and FST have held meetings with MEPA, DEP, and the Army Corp of Engineers. We have received our MEPA Certificate for Segment 1, and are waiting on completion of the 401 and 404 permit process. • Anticipate having all permitting complete in winter, 2012.

239 College of the Holy Cross McKeon Road Safety and Gateway Improvement Project

Project Request Amount: $1.1 million

Actual Recipient Name: College of the Holy Cross

Locality and State: Worcester, Massachusetts

Project Description: McKeon Road Safety and Gateway Improvements.

Project Status: The plans are at the 25% design level. The design should progress quickly and the project may be ready to bid next year.

Narrative: Over the past two years, the character of McKeon Road has changed significantly as the result of unrelated transportation, environmental and economic development initiatives that have coalesced at the same time. To accommodate pedestrian safety in the face of a dramatic increase in traffic volume in commercial carriers and local traffic, the College has proposed the installation of sidewalks and traffic lights along the 2,900 linear feet of College-owned property bordering McKeon Road. It has also proposed a redesign of its fencing and entrance to accommodate safety and aesthetic issues related to the development of a highly trafficked and highly visible gateway into both the College campus and the City of Worcester.

The increased usage of McKeon Road is the result of the Massachusetts Highway Department’s designation of the two-lane city thoroughfare as the direct link between the nearly completed two-lane Rt. 146 project and the three-lane I-290 Eastbound. Safety concerns are compounded with the increased recreational and tourist traffic anticipated from the incorporation of property on the eastern side of McKeon Road into the John H. Chafee Blackstone River Valley Heritage Park Corridor. Corridor-related developments include the construction of a parking lot and canoe launch on a parcel directly across the street from the College. This lot is located at the head of a bike path stretching from Worcester, Massachusetts, to Narragansett Bay in Providence, Rhode Island and will be used as the staging area for cyclists and hikers interested in accessing the pathway.

In addition, the College in 2005 committed to a 10-year agreement with the Worcester Tornadoes, granting the Canadian-American League free use of its baseball field. McKeon Road is designated as a parking area for people who then access the stands from a side entrance to the College campus. Hundreds of pedestrians walk through the poorly lighted area to gain access to campus and the stadium during the 40-plus games scheduled for each year.

The growth of pedestrian traffic coupled with a surge in the number of cars and trucks traveling the road poses significant safety issues along the roadway.

The College will pay for the maintenance of the sidewalks and fencing, and will cover the costs for redesigning its internal traffic systems and facilities to accommodate easier access from its own southern portal, reducing congestion along McKeon. The cost of the redesign alone is estimated to be between $750,000 and $1 million.

Attendance: Denny Drewry (Regional Representative for Scott Brown), Gladys Rodriguez‐Parker (Cong. McGovern office), Tim McGourthy (Worc. Economic Dev Director), Joe Borbone (Worc. Traffic Eng), Barry Lorion, Arthur Frost, and Ann Sullivan (MassDOT‐District 3), Guy Bresnahan and Calli Cenizal (MassDOT‐ Planning), and Mary Ellen Blunt (CMRPC Program Mgr)

• Discussion centered on Cong. McGovern’s earmark for the Canal Replication Project and how it could be used. • It was quickly agreed that current reports do not provide enough technical information and project definition to proceed to design phase. • One question that needs to be answered includes: How extensive is the project? The original feasibility study covered a large area with 4 distinct sub‐areas, and the canal is shown to encompass Harding St, both North and South of Kelly Square. Two later reports scoped out the area of the canal more specifically for the North portion of Harding St only. While participants seemed to lean toward looking at the North portion only, it was unclear if that was decided. • It was agreed that FHWA would likely approve a scope of work for project feasibility and environmental investigation. A scope for design would only be allowed if the construction funds were fully identified. A scope for environmental permitting might be allowed, but FHWA would be unlikely to undertake a review of the results unless construction funds are identified. • Ultimate construction of a Canal Replication would not likely be eligible for transportation dollars. Only related roadway construction (involving federal aid‐eligible roads) would be eligible for transportation dollars. • Project proponent questions arose. There was some concern about whether the City would ultimately consent to being the project proponent, given its other commitments and priorities. Further study of the costs and merits of the project would help to answer that question. • It was generally agreed by most participants that the next step needed to be a full technical, structural, and physical (including testing where needed) review of the project area to establish existing constraints and the technical feasibility of the area to support possible construction alternatives. The actual review of alternatives may or may not be part of this, but the feasibility study would allow for the identification of feasible alternatives. • Given that the funding for the current earmark is 100%, the City DPW agreed to take on a detailed technical and structural feasibility study (subject to approval higher up). This should not be construed as the City’s commitment to be the project proponent beyond this study, but would provide the City with a better understanding of what such a future commitment might entail, and would provide Canal District representatives with a better understanding of the range of possibilities and what it would take to accomplish their goals. • It was agreed to take the information back to four bodies to determine agreement o Gladys would communicate with Cong. McGovern o Tim and Joe would communicate with City Manager O’Brien and Comm. Moylan o Guy and Barry would communicate back to FHWA o Mary Ellen would communicate to John Giangregorio, and would set up a follow‐up meeting with Canal District representatives and Cong. McGovern’s office, the City, and CMRPC

C.1.2.1 Rideshare Activities

MassRIDES is the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s free statewide travel options program. MassRIDES helps to reduce congestion and improve air quality across the Commonwealth by encouraging travelers to use options such as ridesharing, vanpooling, public transit, bicycling, and walking.

Programs and Services

• NuRide - The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and MassRIDES have partnered with NuRide, the nation’s largest commuter rewards program, to encourage healthier and more sustainable modes of travel while reducing traffic and emissions throughout the Commonwealth. The NuRide service is available free to anyone who lives or works in Massachusetts.

• Worksite Services - MassRIDES provides assistance to eligible Commonwealth employers who want to support their employees’ use of alternative means of commuting. MassRIDES partners with over 400 organizations to help implement programs and services that save Massachusetts’ commuters time and money, and help employers improve recruitment and retain employees.

• Emergency Ride Home - MassRIDES supports partner companies in providing transportation for employees in case of family or personal emergency. This service, which provides free taxi rides in case of emergency or unscheduled overtime to individuals who pre-register with MassRIDES and who regularly commute to work by means other than driving alone, is designed to provide transportation security when needed.

• Safe Routes to School Program –The Massachusetts Safe Routes to School program aims to create safe, convenient, and engaging opportunities for children to walk and bicycle to and from school, as part of the federally-funded nationwide SRTS program, and is administered by MassRIDES for the Massachusetts Department of Transportation.

C.1.2.2 Park and Ride Lot Usage (Trends in Peak Hour Usage at the Berlin Park-and-Ride)

Usage at the MassDOT Park-and-Ride in Berlin has been summarized by counting and analyzing the number of vehicles that enter and exit the facility as well as the number that remain parked. The following figure shows the annual results using sample observation days over the past several years. The total usage shown in the charts is in car-hours, that is, the number of vehicles in the lot times the amount of time they remain there. These values are for the busier AM and PM peak travel periods when, presumably, most of the activity in addition or subtraction of parked vehicles occurs.

Trends have been about even by this measure in early study years; however there have been significant increases in peak period usage in the last five years. The notable uptick observed in the year 2005 continued for several years, during periods of both level and increasing fuel prices. We do note that the 2009 observation includes a dip in AM utilization and that usage in both AM and PM showed declines

246 in 2010 as well. This is likely a continuing temporary aberration due to the state of the economy and the relative stability of fuel prices. The lot has approached maximum usage in recent years and this situation is likely to reoccur. We should consider whether there are available and appropriate additional parcels of land that could be used in a similar manner.

We note also that many of the trips to the lot and much of its usage are for the transfer of passengers. Many vehicles rendezvous and exchange riders that do not stay in the lot for any appreciable period of time. By its nature, that type of activity would not be counted in the car-hour measurement figures. However, it appears that this type of activity is still one to be worthy of support, as it is apparent that an increase in the utility of commuting vehicles is being attained.

C.1.2.3 Travel Demand Management

New Federal and State priorities aim at renewable energy generation and air quality improvement through greenhouse gas reductions and improved livability through promotion of alternative transportation modes. Feedback received by CMMPO staff during outreach for the RTP echoed much of that sentiment. Additionally, an increase in alternative transportation mode shares would provide congestion relief to regional roadways.

The CMMPO has taken a position that it will attempt to dedicate a set amount or percent of CMMPO’s annual TIP target funds to a systematic program aimed at promoting changes in transportation demand by boosting use of alternative modes. Eligible projects would be those that improve mobility for people and freight, reduce congestion, and improve air quality through travel demand management.

Funding may come from Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) funds, or the MPO may dedicate the percentage from the entire TIP target using other funding categories. Based on ongoing high system maintenance needs, the amount will initially be modest, such as $500,000 to start, and adjusted in future years based on response and success of program.

280 6.) Air Quality Conformity Determination

Central Massachusetts MPO

FFY 2012-2015 Transportation Improvement Program

Background

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts is classified as serious nonattainment for ozone, and is divided into two nonattainment areas. The Eastern Massachusetts ozone nonattainment area includes Barnstable, Bristol, Dukes, Essex, Middlesex, Nantucket, Norfolk, Suffolk, and Worcester counties. Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden, and Hampshire counties comprise the Western Massachusetts ozone nonattainment area. With these classifications, the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) required the Commonwealth to reduce its emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), the two major precursors to ozone formation to achieve attainment of the ozone standard.

In 2002, the cities of Lowell, Waltham, Worcester and Springfield were re-designated to attainment for carbon monoxide with EPA-approved limited maintenance plans. In 1996, the communities of Boston, Cambridge, Chelsea, Everett, Malden, Medford, Quincy, Revere, and Somerville were classified as attainment for carbon monoxide (CO). Air quality conformity analysis must still be completed in these communities, as they have a carbon monoxide maintenance plan approved into the State Implementation Plan (SIP). The year 2010 carbon monoxide motor vehicle emission budget established for the Boston CO attainment area with a maintenance plan is 228.33 tons of carbon monoxide per winter day.

The CAAA also required Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) within nonattainment areas to perform conformity determinations prior to the approval of their Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs) and Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs). Periodically, air quality analyses are conducted on all the RTPs, the purposes of which are to evaluate the RTPs’ air quality impacts on the SIP. Conformity determinations are then performed to ensure that all regionally significant projects are included in the RTPs and the TIPs, and that they meet the air quality goals of the SIP. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) – in consultation with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA New England) and the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) – confirm and approve these conformity determinations (more details and background of major conformity milestones in recent years are provided in the Central Massachusetts MPO 2012 Regional Transportation Plan).

Previously, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation found the emission levels from the 2007 Regional Transportation Plans – as well as from the more recent 2011-2014 TIPs – to be in conformance with the SIP. Each MPO had certified (and continues to certify) that all activities outlined in its RTP and its TIP:

281 • will not cause or contribute to any new violation of any standard in any area; • will not increase the frequency or severity of any existing violation of any standard in any area; and, • will not delay the timely attainment of any standard or any required interim emission reductions or other milestones in any area.

Key elements of this FY 2012–2015 TIP related to air quality conformity are as follows:

• This TIP is financially constrained, and all projects in the TIP come from the conforming Central Massachusetts MPO 2012 Regional Transportation Plan. • All regionally significant projects included in the TIP have been included in the air quality analysis for the conforming Plan. These projects are of the same design and concept as presented in the RTP. • Because projects in the TIP come from the conforming RTP, and all regionally significant RTP projects for 2012 through 2015 (both Federal and Non-Federal Aid) are programmed in the TIP, the same air quality analysis used for the RTP can be used for the TIP. • Therefore, same set of analysis results are being used in both this TIP and the Central Massachusetts MPO 2012 RTP for determinations of air quality conformity. • Therefore, this TIP, in combination with the TIPs from the other MPOs in the nonattainment area, demonstrates air quality conformity.

Timely Implementation of Transportation Control Measures

Transportation Control Measures (TCMs) have been required in the SIP in revisions submitted to EPA in 1979 and 1982. All SIP TCMs have been accomplished through construction or through implementation of ongoing programs.

DEP submitted to EPA its strategy of programs to show Reasonable Further Progress of a 15% reduction of VOCs in 1996 and the further 9% reduction of NOx toward attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for ozone in 1999. Within that strategy there are no specific TCM projects. The strategy does call for traffic flow improvements to reduce congestion and, therefore, improve air quality. Other transportation-related projects that have been included in the SIP control strategy are listed below:

• Enhanced Inspection and Maintenance Program • California Low Emission Vehicle Program • Reformulated Gasoline for On- and Off-Road Vehicles • Stage II Vapor Recovery at Gasoline Refueling Stations • Tier I Federal Vehicle Standards

282 Air Quality Conformity Analysis

On April 2, 2008, EPA found that the 2008 and 2009 motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) in the January 31, 2008 Massachusetts 8-hour ozone State Implementation Plan revision were adequate for transportation conformity purposes. The submittal included 2008 and 2009 MVEBs for the Boston-Lawrence-Worcester (Eastern Massachusetts) and Springfield (Western Massachusetts) 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas. Massachusetts submitted these budgets as part of the 8-hour ozone attainment demonstration and reasonable further progress plan for both nonattainment areas, and as a result of EPA’s adequacy finding, these budgets were required to be used for conformity determinations. EPA later determined (in 2010) that only the most recent MVEBs - 2009 - be used for future conformity determinations.

In 2010, air quality analyses were conducted on behalf of all the 2011-2014 Regional Transportation Improvement Programs (TIPs), the purposes of which were to evaluate the TIPs’ air quality impacts on the SIP. Conformity determinations were performed to ensure that all regionally significant projects were included in the TIPs. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation found the emission levels from the 2011-2014 TIPs to be in conformance with the SIP. On November 15, 2010, EPA confirmed that both the Eastern and Western Massachusetts Non-Attainment areas collectively demonstrated transportation conformity, with concurrence from Massachusetts DEP on 11/23/10. On December 22, 2010, FHWA and FTA determined that the TIPs were in conformity with the Clean Air Act and the EPA conformity regulations (40 CFR Part 51).

The conformity test is to show consistency with the emissions budgets set forth in the SIP. Additional specific information regarding the analysis and modeling methods, latest planning assumptions, and consultation procedures are all detailed in the Central Massachusetts MPO 2012 RTP. The emissions from the following MPOs have been combined to show conformity with the SIP for the Eastern Massachusetts Ozone Nonattainment Area:

• Cape Cod MPO • Central Massachusetts MPO • Merrimack Valley MPO • Boston MPO • Montachusett Region MPO • Northern Middlesex MPO • Old Colony MPO • Southeastern Region MPO • Martha's Vineyard Commission* • Nantucket Planning and Economic Development Commission*

* These regions do not contain any official urbanized areas, but are considered to be MPOs for planning purposes.

The milestone and analysis year transportation model networks are composed of projects proposed in this 2012-2015 TIP. Projects in these networks consist of all in-place “regionally significant” projects that can reasonably be expected to be completed by a given analysis/horizon

283 year with consideration of available funding commitments. This project group would include, but not be limited to, regionally significant projects where at least one of the following steps has occurred within the past three years:

• Comes from the first year of a previously conforming TIP, • Completed the NEPA process, or • Currently under construction or are undergoing right-of-way acquisition

A complete listing of future regionally significant projects for the entire Eastern Massachusetts Ozone Non-Attainment Area is provided below:

Using the latest planning assumptions, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, Office of Transportation Planning, in coordination with MPO staff, estimated the emissions for VOC and NOx for all MPOs in Eastern Massachusetts through a combination of the statewide and Boston Region travel demand models. The VOC mobile source emission budget for 2009 and beyond for the Eastern Massachusetts Nonattainment Area has been set at 63.50 tons per summer day and the 2009 (and beyond) mobile source budget for NOx is 174.96 tons per summer day. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the results of the air quality analysis demonstrate that the VOC and NOx emissions from all Action scenarios are less than the VOC and NOx emissions budgets for the Eastern Massachusetts Nonattainment Area:

2035 3.2209 29.038 174.96 -145.922

In summary, this TIP is derived from the conforming 2012 Regional Transportation Plan, and the conformity determination analysis has been prepared in accordance with EPA’s final conformity regulations. The air quality analyses outlined in this document demonstrate that the implementation of the TIP satisfies the conformity criteria where applicable and is consistent with the air quality goals in the Massachusetts SIP.

Specifically, the Central Massachusetts MPO has found the emission levels from this FY 2012-2015 TIP – in combination with the emission levels from the other MPOs in its nonattainment area – demonstrate conformity with the SIP, the Clean Air Act, and the EPA conformity regulations (40 CFR part 51).
