Call to Order (Bahman Janka, Chair, San Gabriel Valley) The meeting was called to order at 9:35 A.M. 2. Approval of April 20, 2017 Minutes (Subcommittee) Marianne Kim (Automobile Club) motioned to approve the April 20th minutes, and Jimmy Shih (Caltrans) seconded the motion. Alvin Papa (City of Long Beach) abstained. The minutes were approved. 3. Chair Report (Bahman Janka) Mr. Janka reported that May 18th is Bike to Work Day and that many cities have bicycle programs occurring. He asked Ms. Kim to share a Bike Guide that Automobile Club co- produced with the California Highway Patrol. Ms. Kim reported that the guide was edited by the California Bicycle Coalition California Association of Bicycle Organizations. The guide contains tips for bicyclists and motorists to interact with each other safely. Mr. Janka welcomed Ed Norris (Gateway Cities/South East) back to the Subcommittee and welcomed Nicole Benyamin (Las Virgenes/Malibu) as a new Subcommittee member. 4. Metro Report (Fulgene Asuncion, Metro) Ms. Asuncion reported that the Ad Hoc Congestion, Highways and Roads Committee approved a motion to support the Transportation System Management/Transportation Demand Management (TSM/TDM) Alternative for the SR-710 North Project. The TSM/TDM Alternative includes traffic signal upgrades and synchronization, local street and intersection improvements, improved connection to existing bus service and promotion of rideshare along 1 SR-710 between Alhambra and Pasadena. The TSM/TDM Alternative will go to the Metro Board for consideration and approval at the May 25th Board meeting. Ms. Asuncion reported that comments on the Measure M Draft Guidelines are due by May 26th. Comments should be submitted through Metro’s website at http://theplan.metro.net or by email at [email protected]. Ms. Asuncion reported that Metro’s Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) met on May 3rd and discussed the Measure M Draft Guidelines. The TAC did not make any comments on most of the Guidelines. The discussion focused on the 3% Local Contribution, Local Return, and Multi-year Subregional Programs. The Policy Advisory Committee (PAC) will provide an oral report at the May 25th Board meeting. The next PAC meeting will take place on June 6th. The adoption of the Guidelines is scheduled for the June 22nd Board meeting. Ms. Asuncion reported that Manjeet Ranu is the new Senior Executive Officer for Transit Corridors and Long Range Planning. 5. Caltrans Update (Dale Benson, Caltrans) Dale Benson (Pedestrian Coordination) reported that the Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) and Active Transportation Program (ATP) Calls for Projects are scheduled to occur sometime in 2018. 6. CTC and ATP Update (Zoe Unruh/Shelly Quan, Metro) Ms. Unruh reported that the May 17th meeting of the California Transportation Commission (CTC) emphasized implementation of Senate Bill 1 (SB 1), the transportation funding package passed by California in April. Caltrans is currently refining revenue estimates and presented the estimated revenues for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-2018. The local streets and roads and California State Transportation Agency (STA) portion of revenue is anticipated to be $751 million for FY 2017-2018, as well as $100 million for the Active Transportation Program (ATP). Ms. Unruh reported that the CTC presented its report on SB 1 implementation. SB 1 has new programs and has expanded some programs in terms of the revenues they receive. CTC brought forward Tab 15, which proposes a schedule for guidelines, development, and application process, including applications for ATP. Ms. Quan reported that CTC staff has laid out a schedule for implementation of new ATP revenues. For revenue coming in FY 2017-2018 and FY 2018-2019, CTC staff intends to do a Call for Projects (Call). The priority for this funding is to advance projects that are already programmed and to fund projects from Cycle 3 that did not receive funding. Ms. Quan reported that there has been a proposal for a new ATP Call for the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) region. New funding will allow projects on the SCAG Contingency List to be moved forward, so SCAG requested a new Call if there is funding available to do so. The CTC will adopt a new set of guidelines for the new Call at its June meeting, with applications due in August and program adoption in October. Mike Behen (North County Transit Coalition) asked if projects currently on SCAG’s Contingency List would need to apply for the new Call in order to receive funds. Ms. Quan 2 replied that projects currently on the Contingency List will be eligible for funds through the additional $100 million per year in revenue. The new Call will be for projects that have not applied for funding. Mr. Benson asked if funding for the new Call will be from state funds only. Ms. Quan confirmed. Mr. Janka asked if there is a breakdown of funding for the share of new revenues for the Los Angeles region. Ms. Unruh replied that the Caltrans Department of Budget is currently refining estimates for new revenues. The terms of SB 1 are consistent with how local streets and roads currently receive funding. The STA portion of revenues will be distributed per existing formulas. 7. West Santa Ana Branch Transit Corridor Update (Teresa Wong, Metro) Ms. Wong reported that the West Santa Ana Branch (WSAB) Transit Corridor is a new light rail transit (LRT) corridor included in the Measure R and Measure M expenditure plans. The Metro Board awarded the environmental study contract for the Project in September 2016. Ms. Wong reported that the Project is currently in the Project Awareness phase. Metro staff is providing briefings to cities in the Project Study Area and elected officials and soliciting feedback before proceeding to Scoping. WSAB will be a 20-mile LRT service from Union Station in the north to Artesia in the south. The Study Area covers 98 square miles and has population and employment densities five times higher than the Los Angeles County averages. Ms. Wong reported that there are four alignment options for WSAB north of Huntington Park. South of Huntington Park, WSAB will use the San Pedro Branch of the Ports’ right-of-way (ROW) and Metro-owned ROW. Ms. Wong reported that SCAG conducted an Alternatives Analysis for WSAB in 2013. The SCAG study recommended LRT as the mode for the corridor after evaluating streetcar, low- floor maglev, and bus rapid transit alternatives. The study identified some stations along the corridor and proposed two northern alignment alternatives, the East Bank and West Bank 3 alternatives. Ms. Wong reported the Metro Board has eliminated these alternatives. The East Bank alternative would have engineering constraints and would require a lot of property acquisition, and there are high-tension power lines in the area. The West Bank 3 alternative would terminate at Little Tokyo rather than Union Station. Staff will be evaluating four northern alignment options that the Metro Board approved at the April 2017 Board meeting during the environmental process. Ms. Wong reported that Metro conducted a Technical Refinement Study (TRS) prior to environmental analysis. Metro completed the TRS in 2015. Staff examined five issues: 1. Southern Terminus: There were initial plans to terminate WSAB in the City of Cerritos, but the City decided not to have a station. The TRS determined it is feasible to instead terminate at Pioneer Station in the City of Artesia. 3 2. New Green Line Station: Metro is proposing a new station in the median of I-105, east of the I-710 interchange.
