McCarty St., Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone: 573.634.6410 Fax: 573.634.6457 Memorandum TO: CAMPO Board of Directors FROM: Sonny Sanders, Senior Transportation Planner DATE: November 9, 2016 SUBJECT: The Harvard Group, LLC: Proposed Mission Drive Extension • Transportation Improvement Program Amendment As to date, no proposed TIP Amendments presented to the Technical Committee have failed to be forwarded to the Board of Directors with a recommendation to approve. In the absence of a guiding policy regarding whether or not to forward proposed TIP Amendments from the Technical Committee to the Board of Directors without a recommendation to approve, staff is providing the Board of Directors the proposed TIP Project Application and activities to date regarding the project. Staff will develop a draft policy with the Technical Committee for future consideration by the Board of Directors. Project Description. Mr. Chris Kersten, of The Harvard Group, LLC, proposed 1,400 linear feet extension of Mission Drive westbound from MO 179. Mission Drive, as it exists today, includes on/off ramps for northbound and southbound MO 179 with an eastbound roadway to St. Mary’s Medical Center. Funding for the project is proposed to originate from a Private sources and a Transportation Development District. The westward extension of Mission Drive is identified in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan in Appendix 2, MPA Illustrative Needs List. Projects found here are those which may be given future consideration in the event that additional future funding sources are subsequently defined to be reasonably available. TIP Amendment History. On September 14, CAMPO staff, representatives from MoDOT, FHWA and the City of Jefferson met with Mr. Kersten to discuss the process to include a project in the TIP and the fiscal constraint requirement. The Harvard Group subsequently submitted a TIP Amendment form for this project to be addressed at the October 6 Technical Committee Meeting. FHWA expressed concern regarding the lack of demonstration of fiscal constraint for the project: Agenda Item 6A “Fiscal Constraint – In the most common form, TIP amendments are received from local agencies with funding identified/made available for transportation improvements. These are most often in some form of a municipal budget. At some point in the TIP development or amendment process MPOs commonly request these budgets from local agencies as a demonstration of their fiscal capacity. Such is not the case when a private developer proposes public road improvements. I recommend CAMPO secure some form of fiscal assurance from the private developer prior to amending any project to the TIP. The TIP is a programming document, bound by Federal law to be fiscally constrained.” Based on the comment from FHWA and staff’s understanding of fiscal constraint as required under 23 CFR 450.326, the staff recommendation was to continue/table the request to a future meeting due to insufficient demonstration of fiscal constraint and to allow CAMPO staff to solicit official review and responses from planning partners, and/or allow for opportunity to document project funding and timelines. The Technical Committee tabled the request to the November 3, Technical Committee Meeting. Prior to the November Technical Committee Meeting, staff requested information from Cole County Public Works and Jefferson City Public Works regarding their intent to financially participate in this project at this time. Neither agency currently plans to fund any part of this project. Staff also communicated to Mr. Kersten the need for documentation of fiscal constraint. At the November 6, Technical Committee meeting, the TIP Amendment request was revisited and the attached letter from Hawthorn Bank was provided as supporting documentation for fiscal constraint. A motion to recommend the project for inclusion into the TIP by Board of Directors was made and seconded. Discussion focused on the lack of adequate demonstration of fiscal constraint. The motion failed with 8 Nays and 3 Abstentions. Agenda Item 6A.2 Background. Mr. Chris Kersten, of The Harvard Group, LLC, has submitted (1) a CAMPO TIP amendment application and (2) MoDOT Functional Classification request form, regarding a proposed extension of Mission Drive westbound from MO 179. Mission Drive, as it exists today, includes on/off ramps for northbound and southbound MO 179 with an eastbound roadway to St. Mary’s Medical Center. The Harvard Group, LLC, is proposes a development west of MO 179, with approximately 1,400 linear feet of Mission Drive to be constructed as a part of the development. Funding for the project is proposed to originate from a Transportation Development District. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation Functional Classification Request Form, included in the packet, road construction “should begin on or about March of 2018.” Alex Rotenberry, Transportation Planner, confirmed the westward extension of Mission Drive is identified in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan in Appendix 2, MPA Illustrative Needs List. Projects found here are those which may be given future consideration in the event that additional future funding sources are subsequently defined to be reasonably available. Staff communicated the process for the TIP amendment and the revision to the functional classification to the applicant (see attached email from Sonny Sanders). Also attached for review are the TIP Project Application, the Missouri Department of Transportation Functional Classification Request Form, and all exhibits submitted by the applicant. Staff Recommendation. Continue/table the request to a future meeting of the Technical Committee. Insufficient information has been provided at this time, including demonstration of fiscal constraint. A motion to TABLE the request to a future meeting would allow CAMPO staff to solicit official review and responses from planning partners, and/or allow for opportunity to document project funding and timelines. Should information be provided that refutes or confirms the above, the Technical Committee may consider other options: • Approve the request (and forward the request to the Board of Directors), or • Disapprove the request. Agenda Item 6A.3 From: Sanders, Sonny Sent: Wednesday, September 14, 2016 11:17 AM To: chriskersten Subject: Mission Drive > TIP > Functional Classification Process Chris, Here are my notes regarding the process/task: Steve/Sherry are going to review the process, FC mileage and percents. Sonny is going to provide Chris Kersten the TIP project form and instructions (attached) for submitting a TIP amendment. Sonny will assist Chris with the form as needed. Chris will provide the form to Sonny for inclusion in October Technical Committee meeting by September 28 (a few days before is much preferred, I have to include a staff memo). The TIP amendment will be reviewed by MoDOT before the Technical Committee meeting. (Chris I would try and get the amendment in ASAP to me for my comments/assistance and then to also get it to MoDOT ASAP also for their preliminary review. I don’t know how long that would take, but would want their review before the amendment is presented to the Technical Committee. The TIP Amendment will be reviewed by staff and included in the agenda for the October 6 Technical Committee Meeting. Chris, please plan on attending as the project sponsor. If the Technical Committee recommends the project for inclusion in the TIP to the Board of Directors, a public comment period will commence. The TIP amendment will be on the October 18 Board of Directors Meeting agenda. If approved, it will be submitted to MoDOT, which will get the Governor’s approval and then approved by FHWA. Thank You.

McCarty, Jefferson City, MO 65101 Phone 573.634.6410 Fax 573.634.6457 Memorandum TO: CAMPO Board of Directors FROM: Sonny Sanders, Senior Transportation Planner DATE: November 14, 2016 SUBJECT: Prioritize CAMPO area Transportation Alternative Program Grant Applications The Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) program provides funding for pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure projects. Each MoDOT district has formed a team to select projects for the TAP funds. The Central District Transportation Alternatives Team consists of one representative from each of the five planning organizations within the district: CAMPO, Columbia Area Transportation Study Organization, Mid- Missouri Regional Planning Commission, Lake of the Ozarks Council of Local Governments and Meramec Regional Planning Commission. Each planning organization prioritizes all applications within its planning organization boundary. The reason this is done is to show the Team where the priority is within a planning organization in case a tie between projects is established. The CAMPO Board of Directors will be prioritizing the grant applications inside the CAMPO planning area. In this packet is a voting tabulation sheet for the TAP grant programs. Projects are to be ranked numerically, with 1 being the highest priority. There were four project applications from within the CAMPO region: • Holts Summit - South Summit School Sidewalk Project • City of Jefferson - Miller Street Bikeway Connecting the Wears Creek and East Branch Greenways • City of Jefferson - Missouri Boulevard Sidewalks, Waverly Street to Beck Street • City of St. Martins - St. Martins Business 50 West Complete Streets and Safety Enhancements - Phase 1. You may wish to review each project application in detail, but we will be inviting the project sponsors to provide a short presentation on each of their respective TAP projects. If you have questions or require additional information, please contact Sonny Sanders at 573-634- 6410 or ssanders@jeffcitymo.org. Agenda Item 6D Holts Summit South Summit School Sidewalk Connection The City of Holts Summit, MO, is proposing to construct the fourth planned section of sidewalk to provide connectivity of North Elementary School to a dense residential area just south of the school. This project will extend services to the collector streets of approximately 200 residential homes that are within 1/2 mile of the school. In the two-mile radius around the school, no bus service is available, and many families in the area aren’t able to drive the students to school. This translates into a high volume of pedestrian activity, and the current system presents a hostile environment for these users. The students are now forced to walk/ride bicycles on the shoulder of South Summit between an open ditch and vehicular traffic. As an added benefit to the community, not only will the school children be connected directly to the elementary school, but other residents will be connected via ADA accessible sidewalks to city amenities including the Post Office, School, City park, Community Trail, City Baseball Fields, Community Center, City Hall, Commercial Business district and grocery store that is not currently available to them. Until 2010, none of this would have been possible without the use of MoDOT grant assistance. This project will provide direct connectivity to the amenities listed by passing through two SRTS grant projects, two TE projects, two RTP grants, and a TAP project that was recently completed. This level of successful grant project shows a commitment from the community and elected officials to provide a safe pedestrian corridor for students and residents alike. The project is part of the City’s 2014 Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Transit Plan and would run on the east side of S. Summit from Perrey Drive on the north, to Ellsworth Drive on the south. The sidewalk will be 5’ wide, ADA compliant, and constructed of concrete. Also included is a pedestrian crossing at Ellsworth to allow safer crossing of Summit Drive for those wishing to navigate between the subdivision’s sidewalk system and the new sidewalk. In order to maximize grant dollars, without overextending itself, the city will bid the sidewalk as a base project with add alternates – one extending the sidewalk to Ellsworth and the second one to E. Hillcrest Ave. These are shown on the project exhibits. This project will enhance and increase the level of pedestrian and vehicular safety for Holts Summit that would not be possible without grant assistance. Agenda Item 6D.2 Miller Street Bikeway Connecting the Wears Creek and East Branch Greenways The project includes a number of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements connecting the Wears Creek Greenway trailhead at Dunklin Street to the trailhead of the East Branch Greenway at Marshall Street. These improvements include the construction of additional sections of 10 foot wide greenway trails, sidewalks, bike lane striping and signs, and wayfinding signage along the proposed route. This project will connect the seven mile long Wears Creek Greenway with the two mile long East Branch trail with a combination of sidewalks, trails and on street bike facilities. When connected, the project will create a ten mile connection from the south central portion of the City to its westernmost subdivision. Along its path the corridor connects residential areas to the heavily commercialized regions along Missouri Boulevard as well as depositing people at the doorstep of the City’s downtown core. Additionally this connection will provide a route for those from the East Branch Trail to reach the Katy Trail State Park though on street bike facilities that were completed this summer which will be enhanced by a wayfinding signage project that is underway and will be completed this fall. With the exception of a wayfinding sign adjacent to the Dunklin Street Trailhead the project will start at the intersection of Dunklin and Mulberry Streets one block from the Wears Creek Greenway and the end of the bike lanes that were installed this summer. The project will begin with the installation of share the lane markings on Mulberry Street in addition to the construction of a sidewalk along the eastern side of the 600 block where sidewalk currently does not exist. Wayfinding signage would then direct people onto West Elm Street which would also be treated with share the lane markings. Upon reaching Broadway Street direction will be given across Highway 50 through an improved pedestrian crossing. At the northern end of the crossing a ten foot wide greenway trail is proposed and will bend and skirt along the outer edge of the an existing parking lot for a distance of 500 feet. The project would look to add trees and other landscaping to provide shade and separation from the parking lot and highway. The path would then return to the road with the installation of enhanced shared lane markings through the 100, 200, and 300 blocks of Miller Street. Again wayfinding signage would be used to direct people along the corridor as well as indicate points of interest within the downtown area. Signage would then be used to route people onto Adams Street, E. Handley Way and Jackson Street all of which would receive pavement markings. Upon reaching the 500 block of East McCarty Street a 10 foot wide trail would be constructed which will connect to the existing trail at Marshall Street, whereby avoiding the need for users to interact with the higher traffic volumes on McCarty Street. This project arises from the work that was done in the Jefferson City 2007 Greenway Master Plan and the newly approved CAMPO bicycle and pedestrian plan. Further support for this connection can be gleaned from user data collect by cycling apps such as Strava which indicate that this corridor is already being used by cyclists as a connection between these two existing trails. Pedestrian/cycling counters on the Wears Creek Greenway indicate a monthly average of 5,000 to 9,000 individuals using the trail. Agenda Item 6D.3 Missouri Boulevard Sidewalks, Waverly Street to Beck Street The project includes a number of pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements connecting the Wears Creek Greenway trailhead at Dunklin Street to the trailhead of the East Branch Greenway at Marshall Street. These improvements include the construction of additional sections of 10 foot wide greenway trails, sidewalks, bike lane striping and signs, and wayfinding signage along the proposed route. This project will connect the seven mile long Wears Creek Greenway with the two mile long East Branch trail with a combination of sidewalks, trails and on street bike facilities. When connected, the project will create a ten mile connection from the south central portion of the City to its westernmost subdivision. Along its path the corridor connects residential areas to the heavily commercialized regions along Missouri Boulevard as well as depositing people at the doorstep of the City’s downtown core.

Pedestrian/cycling counters on the Wears Creek Greenway indicate a monthly average of 5,000 to 9,000 individuals using the trail. Agenda Item 6D.4 St. Martins Business 50 West Complete Streets & Safety Enhancements - Phase 1 The City of St. Martins requests $400,000 TAP funding for the construction of improvements to Bus. 50 from Verdant Ln to St. Martins School. St. Martins, in partnership with Cole County, will provide up to $200,000 in local funding, for a total project construction budget of $600,000. St. Martins will pay for all preliminary design for the project with local funding. Bus 50 serves an area that includes a school (enrollment 219), church, 12-unit low-income housing complex, 20-unit senior housing complex, convenience store, restaurant, the Missouri Corrections Officers Assn. Regional office, VFW hall, 2-four-plex apartment buildings, & 22 single-family homes. Bus. 50 improvements will consist of the implementation of solutions identified in the completed 2014 Bus. 50 TEAP study (attachment J); including curb & gutter and a 5’ wide, 4" thick sidewalk on one side of Bus. 50 for a total of 2,620 feet. Safety improvements include pedestrian safety crossings, one in front of St. Martin School and one in front of the Senior Housing Complex providing safe access to the new pedestrian system. Bus. 50 is currently a two-lane roadway with no shoulder serving approximately 2,700 cars daily. This creates a hazardous mix of students, pedestrians, bicyclists, persons walking/running for fitness, & vehicular traffic traveling speeds ranging from 20-35+mph. This unsafe condition is evidenced by a car vs bicycle crash which occurred in April of 2015. Thankfully, there were no life threatening injuries to the bicyclist this time. The goals of this project are to improve the safety of the many who already walk, bike or roll on the unimproved area along Bus. 50, & to encourage more people to improve their health and mobility by providing a safe place to walk in the heart of St. Martins. In 2015, St. Martins completed the first phase of a 2-phase Bike-Ped plan to connect St. Martins with the Cole County/Jefferson City greenway system. Phase 1 added a trailhead trail at Niekamp Park. This included a 1,750 foot by six-foot wide, concrete ADA-compliant trail with multiple rest areas, a drinking fountain and handicap-accessible restrooms. This $126,503 Federal Recreational Trails Program project was completed on-time, under-budget, and is now receiving heavy use by the citizens of St. Martins & Cole County. Phase 2 of the St. Martins Bike-Ped plan is to connect St. Martin school with Binder Park, Pioneer Trail school, and Apache Flats via a sidewalk or greenway system. Phase 2 will be partially implemented with the completion of this proposed project. Another section of phase 2, which includes a sidewalk/greenway system from the St. Martins city limits to the recently completed Apache Flats project is being completed by Cole County and is scheduled for completion in 2019. When Phase 2 is fully implemented, St. Martins will be connected with the larger Cole County/Jefferson City greenway system. Please see appendix A for a map of this proposed section, as well as the County-wide Greenway System. St. Martins has been actively involved in the creation of CAMPO's Capital Area Pedestrian & Bicycle Plan 2016. The goal of this plan is to "improve safety, connectivity and mobility for pedestrian and bicycle users in the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization planning area". The improvements funded with this $400,000 of TAP Funds will help fulfill the goal of CAMPO's 2016 bike-ped plan. Please see appendix I for a link to this plan.
