Proposed Amendment to the 2019-2023 Transportation Improvement Program: Traffic Safety Studies Mr. Rotenberry explained that MoDOT submitted an Administrative Modification for the US 50 Outer Road Improvements project. He stated that the funding source was changed from Advanced Construction to Surface Transportation Block Grant funds. Mr. Rotenberry explained that no action is necessary as the dollar amounts did not change. Mr. Rotenberry explained that MoDOT submitted an amendment to the 2019-2023 Transportation Improvement Program for traffic safety studies at various locations in the Central District. He stated that the project cost is approximately $101,000 for Program Years 2019 and 2020. Mr. Silvester explained that the proposed amendment allows MoDOT to put the preliminary engineering aside for the potential to hire consultants to do spot studies in locations. He stated that the proposed traffic safety studies are for all 18 counties in the Central District. Mr. Silvester explained that this will allow us the flexibility to have it in the scoping phase. Mr. Benz moved and Mr. Sanders seconded to close the seven day public comment period and approve the proposed 2019-2023 Transportation Improvement Program Amendment #1. The motion passed unanimously. B. Surface Transportation Block Grant Funds: Leftover funds from the Stadium and US 54 Intersection Improvements Project Ms. Williams explained that a portion of Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds are left -over from a completed Jefferson City project. She stated that the Stadium Boulevard and Jefferson Street intersection improvement project was completed under budget with $35,228.73 remaining. Ms. Williams explained that this remaining amount must either be re -allocated to another project or returned to MoDOT. She stated that funding must be spent on capital projects and be allocated by September 2019. Ms. Williams explained that the Technical Committee recommended roll-over of the STBG funding into 5307 Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Funds. She stated that roll-over Section 5307 funds start the clock over and must be spent within five years. Ms. Minutes/Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization Board of Directors September 19, 2018 Page 3 Williams explained that other options presented to the Technical Committee included: (1) sidewalk installation along S. Summit Drive in Holts Summit; and (2) returning the funds to MoDOT. Mr. Harline explained that the S. Summit Drive sidewalk project is designed and that they are in the process of acquiring an easement. He stated that they are going to apply for a grant to extend the sidewalk further to the south past North School. Mr. Harline explained that the STBG funds would be able to get us past the Post Office. He stated that it would be an inefficient use of the money if you did this as a standalone project because the bidding requirements would make the administrative costs half of the project. Mr. Harline explained that if the funds could be rolled into the Transportation Alternatives Program grant it could be more efficient since the project is designed. He stated that there is a possibility that the project could be constructed in 2019. Mr. Morasch explained that the City has a sidewalk project on Missouri Boulevard and we decided not to try and add the money to it because we would have to start over with new timeframes for public meetings and other requirements. He stated that the project is ready to go to out to bid and we would have to restart the clock and delay our project again if we were awarded the STBG funds. Mr. Morasch explained that from the City's standpoint it is better to combine this with transit money so that we can spend it in a more timely manner. Ms. Williams explained that she reached out to all of the jurisdictions for their input. Mr. Benz moved and Mr. Morasch seconded to roll-over unspent STBG funds into 5307 FTA funds. The motion passed with Mr. Harline voting no. C. 2045 Metropolitan Transportation Plan Development Ms. Williams explained that staff continues the update of the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP). She stated that in addition to review and update of data and language in the plan, a public engagement campaign will officially begin in October. Ms. Williams explained that the project prioritization process will be scheduled in February 2019. She stated that that draft Plan will be presented to the Technical Committee and Board of Directors in February and March 2019, with adoption proposed for May 2019. D. CAMPO Transportation Priorities for MoDOT STIP meeting: MoDOT priorities request Mr. Rotenberry explained that MoDOT has announced a transportation stakeholder meeting for planning partners in the Central District to discuss future State Transportation Improvement Program projects on October 9, 2018.
