Introduction Figure 1: NCC Region In New Hampshire, the nine regional planning commissions are responsible for preparing a Regional Transportation Improvement Plan (RTIP) every two years that is derived from local community input, the knowledge and experience of the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) and the guidance of the regional planning commission’s Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC). The RTIP is developed in coordination with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation’s (NHDOT) Ten Year Plan update process. The NHDOT is mandated to propose a plan for improvements to the state’s transportation system through RSA 228:99 and RSA 240 per New Hampshire State Statutes. The legislation was enacted to allow New Hampshire to participate in federally supported transportation improvement projects.

The Regional Transportation Improvement Program (RTIP) for Fiscal Years 2019-2028 consists of a list of transportation projects for the North Country Council (NCC) region including the region’s priorities for new projects added to the NHDOT Ten Year Plan, regional projects in the State’s Transportation Improvement Plan for 2017-2020 (STIP), and projects and studies identified as regional needs in the NCC Regional Transportation Plan adopted in June 2015.

North Country Council consists of 51 communities and 25 unincorporated places within six labor market areas in the northern third of New Hampshire, covering approximately 3,418 square miles (Fig. 5).

NCC 2017 Ten Year Plan Update Process

In December, 2016 North Country Council sent letters to the 51 (GACIT) hearings to gather public input on the draft 2019-2028 communities in the region with notification that the Ten Year Plan Ten Year Plan will be held in the fall of 2017. cycle was commencing. Communities were asked to provide information on new projects as well as input on projects that were Figure 2: Transportation Planners Collaborative (TPC) included in the existing Ten Year Plan. Comprehensive Project Threshold Criteria Proposal Forms were supplied to communities to compile Only projects meeting these criteria will be considered for the Ten information and NCC offered assistance in developing project Year Plan: proposals and maps as needed.  Project is Feasible In March 2017, TAC meetings were held to:  Project addresses a clearly defined transportation need.  Discuss scoring criteria  Proposal is a reasonable approach in scope and cost given existing resources.  Distribute and review project proposals  Project is likely to receive required Resource Agency per-  Consider if projects meet the “Threshold Criteria” (Fig. 6) mits and approvals. developed by the Transportation Planners Collaborative (TPC) which includes RPC planners, NHDOT and FHWA  Project is Supported   Score projects Project has demonstrated local support and matching funds if necessary.

Scoring Criteria, Weightings, and Supporting Data NCC TYP Scoring Strategy - 2017 In the year prior to the 2017 Ten Year Plan Cycle, NHDOT worked Outlined below is the strategy the NCC TAC used to score projects with representatives from the RPCs to update TYP scoring criteria in the region. This strategy was approved by NHDOT and complies and weightings. The scoring criteria and process used by the TAC with the TPC Threshold Criteria: to score projects is the same process used by the New Hampshire 1) Review current TYP projects Department of Transportation and all NH RPCs. Some criteria was a. Provide TAC with list of projects in the Ten Year Plan qualitative (e.g.. safety measures, alternatives modes of b. Provide TAC with letters of support from communities that transportation, etc.). Other criteria was more quantitative (e.g. submitted them traffic volume, facility importance/functional class, etc.) and NCC c. Confirm that all of the projects in the existing TYP are still collected data on each project location to provide to the TAC for needs/priorities accurate scores to be applied. d. If there are projects that are NOT supported within NCC communities that are in the approved TYP, NCC will contact Scoring Criteria Included: communities for a letter from the town so the project can  Reduce Congestion be pulled

 Freight Mobility 2) Review all new Project Proposals & Attachments  Alternative Modes a. Provide score sheets, criteria descriptions and rating system information to TAC  Traffic Volume (AADT) b. Provide information and data to TAC (traffic counts, if  Facility Importance (Functional Class) project accommodates a bus route or bike/ped facility, etc.)  Safety Measures 3) Ask TAC to Score all new projects  Safety Importance a. Score based on information provided to TAC (outlined  State of Repair above)  Support b. Each TAC member should review TYP Threshold Criteria and determine if the project is Feasible and Supported c. Guidelines for determining this will be provided to the TAC. TAC members MUST take notes in the comments section explaining why it is NOT feasible and/or NOT supported d. NCC will determine if the project is eligible for another FHWA funding source

4) TAC submits scores by predetermined deadline a. NCC will compile scores and apply weightings to all new projects b. NCC will provide the scores and discuss the Feasibility, Support, and Eligibility Threshold Criteria with the TAC and determine if any projects should NOT be sent on to DOT for inclusion in the TYP i. A draft list of priorities (showing the funding cut- off level allocated to the NCC region) will be provided to the TAC for review c. NCC TAC will vote on the priorities being submitted to NHDOT for inclusion in the Ten Year Plan

5) NCC will submit New Project Priorities (with project proposals and attachments) to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation

New Projects submitted in 2017 TYP Cycle Cost Estimate: Engineering: $ 212,367 The budgets shown here are those that were submitted to NH DOT Right-of-Way: $ 10,000 by NCC. Budgets for projects added to the draft TYP will be Construction: $ 884,865 revised by NHDOT to cover actual costs, inflation, etc. Structures: $ 0 Capital: $ 0 Plymouth Highland Street Operating: $ 0 Description: The town of Plymouth submitted a proposal to fund Cost Estimate Total: $ 1,107,232 the reconstruction of a segment of Highland Street, including the misaligned Old Ward Bridge Road intersection. The scope of work Cost Estimate Details: Consulting engineer’s estimate. will include reconstruction of 1800 linear feet of Highland Street from Broadway Street west to Old Ward Bridge/Reservoir Road including work to the road’s subgrade, new pavement, new drainage structures, and sidewalk replacement. Also included in the project is the realignment of the Old Ward Bridge Road intersection to a length of 250 feet down Old Ward Bridge Road, which is the access for the elementary and regional high school. Reconstruction will improve drainage, separate at-grade sidewalks from the travel lane, and improve the sight distance for vehicles and the turning radius for school buses. This project will greatly alleviate roadway and sidewalk surface pavement deterioration due to heaving from improper subgrade (cement slabs), will mitigate ponding/flooding of surface runoff from insufficient drainage infrastructure, and will improve overall safety.

Proposal and Scope of Work: Reconstruct approximately 1800 linear feet of Highland Street, including excavation of cement-slab subgrade, new pavement installation, new drainage structures and sidewalk replacement to ADA standards. Reconstruct the intersection of Highland Street and Old Ward bridge Road to a length of 250 feet down Old Ward Bridge Road to realign it with Reservoir Road, including minor (1300 SF) ROW acquisition, lane width/turning radius increase, at-grade sidewalk separation from the travel lane and overall safety and drainage improvements in this school zone.

This intersection of the two roads. Lancaster Road’s steep grade causes project will improve safety and reduce maintenance by addressing safety and traffic flow problems for large trucks, its sidewalks are the issues of poor surface drainage, icing in the roadway during no longer usable, and failing drainage causes sinkholes, heaving, the winter, portions of the wall falling into the narrow shoulder, icing, and safety issues in the road’s shoulder. The intersection has poor visibility and road geometry, and an inadequate stream been a safety concern as large trucks cannot make a turn without crossing. The existing stream crossing to the south of the wall is a disrupting other vehicle traffic.

All Projects Tables 6a, 6b, 6c, 6d, 6d, 6e, and 6f (Appendix): The next pages contain the following tables as they pertain to Unfunded projects that were identified as local priorities transportation projects in the North Country Council Planning in the 2015 Regional Transportation Plan. Unlike projects Region: in Table 5, these projects were not brought to the Transportation Advisory Committee for submission to Table 1: New Regional Significant Projects submitted for the Ten Year Plan. These tables have not been thoroughly inclusion in the 2019-2028 Ten Year Plan updated since 2015, and may include projects that have Table 2: NCC projects currently in the State Transportation since been funded or completed, or that no longer have Improvement Plan for 2017-2020. These projects are local support. This list of projects will be updated again considered “funded.” in the FY2020 Regional Transportation Plan.

Tables 4a and 4b: Other Funding Sources for Projects in the NCC Region. Projects may occur in the NCC Region as part of a statewide projects or a DOT program. Projects performed under a DOT program do not go through the Ten Year Plan application process as individual projects, and they do not appear individually in the STIP. These programs are listed in Table 5b. To see all projects that are in planning, design, or construction, visit NH DOT’s Project Viewer at http:// gis.dot.nh.gov/projectviewer/ .

Table 5: NCC priority projects that are considered “unfunded”. These projects were brought to NCC’s Transportation Advisory Committee by municipalities, but did not make it into the Ten Year Plan. They still remain priorities for the region.

North Country Council was provided with an estimated two-year regional allocation of 5,419,315.44 dollars, the three projects put forward above are estimated at a total of $5,612,232 which is approximately $192,916 above our regional allocation. However as estimates can differ from actual construction costs, and all numbers used in this process are estimated figures NCC believe this list of priorities is worthy of submission and in the spirit of financial constraint.

When the 2019-2028 Ten Year Plan is adopted in June 2018, projects in Table 1a will either be placed on the Ten Year Plan (see Tables 3a-3e) or will be considered “unfunded” projects that remain a priority for the NCC region (see Table 4).

In addition to the 3 projects in Table 1a, NCC identified these 7 projects, to submit a full list of ten projects of regional significance to the NHDOT. This was done at the request of DOT, to provide alternative projects to the three prioritized projects. Some of these projects have been submitted as Ten Year Plan projects, unsuccessfully, in past Ten Year Plan cycles, and some of these projects have never been submitted, but have been identified as local priorities. NCC staff prioritized these projects, rather than the TAC, due to time constraints.

When the 2019-2028 Ten Year Plan is adopted in June 2018, projects in Table 1b will either be placed on the Ten Year Plan (see Tables 3a-3e) or will be considered “unfunded” projects that remain a priority for the NCC region (see Table 4).

The towns of Conway and Colebrook seek to advance Projects 40638 and 40646, respectively, to begin construction in 2019 and 2018, respectively. In Project 40638, Conway seeks to withdraw the planned roundabouts and instead, make improvements to the traffic signal system and add turning lanes at the two Main Street intersections. This would reduce the project’s estimate cost to less than $2 million. NCC’s Transportation Advisory Committee supports advancing these two projects.

Transportation Implementation Plan For Fiscal Year 2018/2019 UPWP Contract

Overview one Access Management Plan have been completed in the NCC region. Each of these studies includes recommendations to The Transportation Implementation Plan outlines the specific address safety, access and mobility issues. Although several projects and tasks NCC staff will be completing under the Fiscal intersections have been identified as potential needs for new RSAs, Year 2016/2017 UPWP contract in an effort to support the assisting in implementation efforts and next steps for studies that Regional Transportation Improvement Plan. As the UPWP is a have been completed is NCC’s priority. contract of services NCC will execute, the Implementation Plan outlines the specific in-the-field work that should be completed to In addition, keeping open communication with all towns in the move priorities and needs outlined in the region’s transportation region to assess and assist with transportation needs is another plans forward. priority of NCC. We will make time to connect with every town in the region, meeting with road agents and/or selectboards to assist Timeline: July 1, 2015 – June 30, 2017 in the development of transportation projects. This includes Tasks: There are three main tasks to be completed under the recognizing areas where NCC staff may need to develop a scope for Implementation Plan: a Special Project under UPWP to assist in the development of a transportation project with a community. It also includes utilizing  Task A: Align UPWP Funding Categories with projects Technical Assistance & Support funds under UPWP to assist currently in the RTIP and Regional Transportation Plan so communities in finding alternative funding sources and that work done under the FY 16/17 UPWP contract supports mechanisms for meeting their transportation needs and not rely those needs solely on the Ten Year Plan for implementation of transportation  Task B: Connect with member communities to assess new projects. projects that are in need of development and provide the technical assistance and data collection needed to develop Lastly, it is a priority of NCC to check in with communities who their project proposals for the 2017 RTIP update process or currently have projects within the Ten Year Plan and assist them suggest alternative ways to completed their projects with any work and outreach needed to be prepared to implement the project as scheduled.  Task C:: Monitor NCC projects in the Ten Year Plan by meeting with the town and NHDOT to ensure project is NCC utilized the first year of the UPWP contract on these priorities implemented on schedule and assist with any opportunities and anticipates spending the second year assisting in or challenges to implementation implementation efforts under Special Projects funding to move these projects forward and to begin new studies identified as Priorities needs in the region. Since 2009, five Road Safety Audits (RSA), one Corridor Study, and

Below are the transportation studies that have been completed since 2009. Connecting with the communities to assist with next steps and implementation is a priority for NCC. The work tasks Contact Towns w/Completed Studies, Develop New Special Projects, and Imple- ment /Assist with Special Projects outlined in the Timeline correlate with the studies listed below.

Implementation Plans and Project Development Needs from Completed Studies Town Route/Road Study Completed Road Safety Audit completed in 2012 and DOT District Haverhill Route 302/ Route 135 Engineer proposed that a plan to resolve the issues be developed Road Safety Audit completed in 2013 from the Mt. Carroll US 302 Washington Resort Wastewater Plant to Stickney Chapel to address reported crashes in the area

Franconia NH Route 18/ NH Route 116 Road Safety Audit completed in 2014 at the Intersection of Route 18 with Easton Road (NH 116) and Wallace Hill Road Road Safety Audit completed in 2010 at Santa's Village to Jefferson US Route 2 identify safety issues for pedestrian crossings Road Safety Audit completed in 2010 at the southern/ Lancaster US Route 2/ US Route 3 eastern intersection of US2 and US3. Intersection was identified as a priority by NCC TAC Route 3 Corridor Study was completed in 2009 to provide recommendations to improve the corridor which serves as US Route 3 US Route 3 a priority route for the region's economy and Main Street to several downtown areas

Tenney Mountain Highway In 2014, NCC updated the 2002 Tenney Mountain Access Plymouth Access Management Study Management Study to include additional information of curb cuts and traffic counts One of the anticipated outcomes is that communities may need additional data collection and plan support to develop implementation steps such as traffic counts, turning movement counts, culvert information, or mapping. NCC staff will work together to determine if this additional data needed will be collected as part of the requirements under UPWP, 400: Plan Support. If the work is in addition to the requirement of UPWP, 400: Plan Support, NCC will scope out the work and submit it as a Special Project or seek funding from the municipality to complete the work.

In the event where NCC has completed a scope of work to assist the community in next steps and implementation efforts and the municipality can not support and the cumulative scopes of work for the seven projects in the priority chart on the previous page exceeds the current UPWP budget, NCC staff will have to choose which communities, of the listed priority, can be completed under the current UPWP or work with NHDOT to modify the current UPWP contract to ensure there are enough funds to complete this work. The NCC staff will present its revised priority work to the TAC for support. In year one, as implementation efforts are underway for the completed transportation studies, NCC will spend some time beginning new studies for Road Safety Audits, Corridor Studies, and/or other studies outlined in the RTIP of regional significance. NCC will work with the Transportation Advisory Committee to determine which studies should be completed next.

Flow Charts of Work The following pages contain flow charts for each work category. The Flow Chart shows the step-by-step work that will be completed for each work tasks. These “steps” will become part of NCC’s performances measures and workload tracking to assist in monitoring progress on UPWP tasks and NCC’s transportation planning goals.
