I'd like to turn just a couple 209 00:09:23,519 --> 00:09:25,360 of moments over to Andrew Gruber to 210 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:26,880 explain those. 211 00:09:26,880 --> 00:09:29,200 >> Thank you, Mr. Chair. I have uh two 212 00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:31,920 items of very positive news to report. 213 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:34,320 You may be familiar with both of these 214 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,800 items. one is about the recent 215 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,720 preliminary EPA determination about uh 216 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,000 air quality and the second one is about 217 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:47,279 the uh opening the ribbon cutting for 218 00:09:47,279 --> 00:09:50,000 the UTA bus rapid transit the Mid Valley 219 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:53,279 Express. So, uh, in that order, the 220 00:09:53,279 --> 00:09:54,800 first item, and this is a rather 221 00:09:54,800 --> 00:09:57,839 technical item, but the basic news is 222 00:09:57,839 --> 00:10:01,760 that the EPA has made a preliminary 223 00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:06,399 determination that uh, ozone causing 224 00:10:06,399 --> 00:10:10,080 pollutants, emissions that literally 225 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,839 blow in from outside of Utah, from 226 00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:16,720 China, from California, otherwise that 227 00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:20,480 are outside of the control of Utons will 228 00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:25,040 not be counted as we are determining how 229 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:28,079 as we are being measured for the ozone 230 00:10:28,079 --> 00:10:32,000 concentrations in our atmosphere. Um 231 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,440 this has been this is something that 232 00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,200 we've been working on. When I say we I 233 00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:39,120 mean WFRC U DOT uh particularly with the 234 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,360 great experts at uh Utah DEEQ and DAQ 235 00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:45,040 and I'm going to put Bryce on the spot 236 00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:46,480 here in just a moment ask him if he 237 00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,160 wants to comment. We've been working on 238 00:10:48,160 --> 00:10:52,880 this for a while because if um if we had 239 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,120 to be sort of held accountable, if you 240 00:10:55,120 --> 00:10:57,839 will, for emissions that are coming from 241 00:10:57,839 --> 00:11:00,800 uh overseas or from out of our control, 242 00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,320 it would be very hard for us to be in 243 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,680 conformity with the applicable uh ozone 244 00:11:07,680 --> 00:11:11,279 requirements. Um, now I should note at 245 00:11:11,279 --> 00:11:13,680 the same time that I say that 246 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,519 collectively we have been working and 247 00:11:15,519 --> 00:11:19,040 will continue to work incredibly hard on 248 00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,680 reducing emissions in our atmosphere 249 00:11:21,680 --> 00:11:25,519 because that matters to our health. Um, 250 00:11:25,519 --> 00:11:28,160 and in fact the the mobile sources, 251 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,560 cars, trucks, buses, etc. That's really 252 00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,200 what we talk about most here. The 253 00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:35,279 emissions have been declining 254 00:11:35,279 --> 00:11:37,680 dramatically as vehicles have gotten 255 00:11:37,680 --> 00:11:39,920 cleaner, as we continue to provide more 256 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,240 and more options for people to take 257 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,959 transit or to bike or to walk. This is 258 00:11:44,959 --> 00:11:46,800 our transportation system, our community 259 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,120 design. All of these things fit 260 00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:51,360 together. So, we'll keep making progress 261 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:53,839 on air quality. But from a regulatory 262 00:11:53,839 --> 00:11:55,920 perspective, this is a very positive 263 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:58,480 development. The last thing I'll say is 264 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,880 that if we were not able to uh and this 265 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:04,320 is where I always get in trouble because 266 00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:06,000 it's like what are the exact right words 267 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,480 to use? Bryce will correct me. If we're 268 00:12:08,480 --> 00:12:11,519 not able to attain the standards, 269 00:12:11,519 --> 00:12:14,800 demonstrate conformity both 270 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,839 with the applicable ozone requirements, 271 00:12:17,839 --> 00:12:21,360 there could be a restriction on how we 272 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,519 use and uh transportation dollars, what 273 00:12:23,519 --> 00:12:25,120 transportation projects we invest in, 274 00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:27,920 including potentially transit projects. 275 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:29,360 In other words, we might have 276 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:31,360 restrictions imposed on our ability to 277 00:12:31,360 --> 00:12:34,320 do transit expansions, even though, as 278 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:36,720 we know, that's helpful to air quality. 279 00:12:36,720 --> 00:12:38,560 So that wouldn't make much sense. So 280 00:12:38,560 --> 00:12:42,160 that's a positive development. Um Bryce, 281 00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:43,920 do you want to comment and or clean up 282 00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:45,839 anything that I just said? 283 00:12:45,839 --> 00:12:47,120 >> No, that's great. I think one thing 284 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,720 we've been emphasizing of course is 285 00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:51,839 we're we're not yet uh out of the woods 286 00:12:51,839 --> 00:12:54,240 and really emphasize that. So, uh, by 287 00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,480 EPA reconsidering their their change in 288 00:12:56,480 --> 00:12:59,200 classification from moderate to serious, 289 00:12:59,200 --> 00:13:01,120 it does relieve us of some f future 290 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,040 obligations like an enhanced emissions 291 00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,360 testing program, which would basically 292 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,600 require roadside testing of our our 293 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:08,880 vehicles to make sure that what we 294 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:10,560 assume in our models is correct on the 295 00:13:10,560 --> 00:13:13,839 transportation side. um but also a 296 00:13:13,839 --> 00:13:16,880 requirement for uh kind of additional uh 297 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:18,639 really hard reductions for us in 298 00:13:18,639 --> 00:13:19,920 particular because we just went through 299 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:22,480 the Sirius PM 2.5 state implementation 300 00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:24,560 plan which we got the good news in 301 00:13:24,560 --> 00:13:26,399 December that EPA accepted the plan and 302 00:13:26,399 --> 00:13:28,160 we've been reclassified to attainment 303 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,560 for that that standard but we said made 304 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:34,720 such great work on that and had so many 305 00:13:34,720 --> 00:13:36,000 reductions there that it's hard to find 306 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:37,360 additional reductions now under the 307 00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,360 ozone planning requirement. So, this uh 308 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:41,600 helps us uh kind of buy us some time, 309 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,440 helps us focus on local emission 310 00:13:43,440 --> 00:13:44,959 sources. Uh we're still in 311 00:13:44,959 --> 00:13:46,720 non-attainment, but we still and we 312 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:48,399 still have to make reasonable progress 313 00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:51,440 over time, but it does kind of help us 314 00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,040 from the next hammers that we were 315 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,920 expecting from that as well. If I could 316 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,440 mention, there's also a second action 317 00:13:57,440 --> 00:13:59,760 that we have before EPA right now to to 318 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:01,279 have them accept our state 319 00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:03,199 implementation plan for the moderate 320 00:14:03,199 --> 00:14:05,440 level of attainment that we submitted in 321 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:07,519 December of 2024. 322 00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,600 And uh if EPA accepts that plan, that's 323 00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,600 what gets us out of the risk of a uh the 324 00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,680 sanction clock starting. Uh so that 325 00:14:15,680 --> 00:14:17,360 would freeze transportation planning at 326 00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:18,880 that point if if that if they were to 327 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:20,800 take that action and then the sanctions 328 00:14:20,800 --> 00:14:22,800 come in uh two years after the the 329 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:24,959 freeze. And so it's very important that 330 00:14:24,959 --> 00:14:26,480 we're still working on on that effort. 331 00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,959 And uh there's a lot of folks that are 332 00:14:28,959 --> 00:14:33,120 um very actively lobbying EPA to to make 333 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,079 a decision on that front as well. Uh 334 00:14:36,079 --> 00:14:38,560 actually since it has been 18 months now 335 00:14:38,560 --> 00:14:40,160 uh they really need to act by next 336 00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:42,160 month. So 337 00:14:42,160 --> 00:14:44,160 >> Bryce, thank you. This is a a a 338 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,839 complicated area from a scientific 339 00:14:45,839 --> 00:14:47,199 perspective, from a regulatory 340 00:14:47,199 --> 00:14:49,120 perspective. We're all working really 341 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,360 hard on it to continue to be able to do 342 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:52,800 good planning and good investment in 343 00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:56,480 transportation and say increase mobility 344 00:14:56,480 --> 00:14:59,600 to have a strong economy and to have uh 345 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:01,040 cleaner air. These things are not 346 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:02,720 mutually exclusive and so we're working 347 00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:04,639 on all of them. Colon, 348 00:15:04,639 --> 00:15:07,600 >> I was just curious, roadside testing, 349 00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:10,880 what does that mean? And also, what are 350 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,760 some maybe examples of things that you'd 351 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,639 have to try to do that now goes kind of 352 00:15:16,639 --> 00:15:19,760 beyond the current PM2 353 00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:20,560 requirements? 354 00:15:20,560 --> 00:15:23,360 >> Yeah, just quickly, it's mostly a a an 355 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,480 US problem. Um and basically it is that 356 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:27,760 so we have the emissions testing program 357 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,320 now where uh after the first few years 358 00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:32,399 of a vehicle's ownership it requires 359 00:15:32,399 --> 00:15:34,480 annual testing to make sure that uh the 360 00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:36,079 vehicle is still operating as the 361 00:15:36,079 --> 00:15:39,120 manufacturer designed it to operate. Um 362 00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:40,800 the the 363 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,279 big uh leap with the with enhanced 364 00:15:43,279 --> 00:15:44,880 emissions testing is again you have to 365 00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,639 verify that your assumptions that you 366 00:15:46,639 --> 00:15:48,560 use in your transportation planning are 367 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:52,560 accurate based on uh actual tests uh on 368 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:56,240 the road. So basically uh at uh freeway 369 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,079 entrances or roads around the valley, we 370 00:15:58,079 --> 00:16:00,639 have to create a plan to to again 371 00:16:00,639 --> 00:16:02,160 demonstrate that the vehicles are 372 00:16:02,160 --> 00:16:05,040 actually in use meeting what the uh 373 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:06,880 testing or the the check engine light is 374 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:08,160 showing that they're supposed to meet. 375 00:16:08,160 --> 00:16:10,800 So it's a big lift. Uh again, a lot of 376 00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:12,320 more staffing for us, a lot of more 377 00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:14,480 demonstration for us, uh some expensive 378 00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,639 equipment to purchase and uh distribute 379 00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:20,320 throughout the valley, but that's the big lift for us. And it basically is 380 00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,079 verifying that the assumptions that we 381 00:16:22,079 --> 00:16:25,600 make based on uh the fleet both that are 382 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:26,880 subject to emissions testing because 383 00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,639 they're registered in these counties and 384 00:16:28,639 --> 00:16:30,959 all the vehicles that are coming in from 385 00:16:30,959 --> 00:16:32,480 other areas that don't require testing 386 00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,240 and be able to get a more accurate 387 00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:36,639 number as to the actual transportation 388 00:16:36,639 --> 00:16:39,120 emissions on the road versus relying 389 00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,560 only on the model. 390 00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:45,759 And if anybody wants to go deeper uh 391 00:16:45,759 --> 00:16:47,920 into this issue, we can go really really 392 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,839 deep in this issue. So, just let us know 393 00:16:49,839 --> 00:16:51,199 if you have any questions and we're 394 00:16:51,199 --> 00:16:53,199 happy to talk offline about this. And if 395 00:16:53,199 --> 00:16:54,560 you ask us anything that we can't 396 00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:56,560 answer, Bryce and Michelle can answer 397 00:16:56,560 --> 00:16:58,399 those questions. Thank you. Okay, the 398 00:16:58,399 --> 00:17:01,360 next thing, um, you probably all heard 399 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:04,240 this, but the ribbon cutting was earlier 400 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,600 this week for the UTA's bus rapid 401 00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:09,439 transit system, the Mid Valley Express. 402 00:17:09,439 --> 00:17:12,160 This is really exciting. This project 403 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,600 has been in the plans for over 20 years 404 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,280 and through perseverance and 405 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,919 collaboration it is now operating. This 406 00:17:19,919 --> 00:17:22,400 is the BRT system that connects Murray, 407 00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,280 Taylorville, and West Valley City. Um 408 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:27,600 the ribbon cutting was just earlier this 409 00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:30,000 week.

And um this is an all-electric bus 427 00:18:13,039 --> 00:18:16,640 uh system and it it also links the last 428 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,840 u major um institution of higher 429 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,559 education into our system.

This 595 00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,960 project is to address pedestrian and 596 00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:03,600 cyclists that would be crossing 750 597 00:25:03,600 --> 00:25:06,720 North here at 200 West as the trail 598 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:10,000 facility is improved. Now, the intent of 599 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,240 this project is to include the 600 00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:16,000 construction or the the installation of 601 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000 an RRFB, 602 00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,640 which is a a rectangular rapid flashing 603 00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:24,000 beacon. Cool acronym to utilize when 604 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,679 you're in conversation with your 605 00:25:25,679 --> 00:25:27,200 friends. 606 00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:31,279 Do you know about the RRFBS? Anyway, or 607 00:25:31,279 --> 00:25:34,080 it could be implemented here where you 608 00:25:34,080 --> 00:25:37,760 have uh a pedestrian hybrid beacon which 609 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:40,159 is actually more like a hawk signal that 610 00:25:40,159 --> 00:25:43,840 goes across the full facility. Now, back 611 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,080 when this project was initially put on 612 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,840 the tip, it was about back in 2014, 613 00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:52,640 it was identified that uh there wasn't a 614 00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:55,039 lot of activity in that area. And this 615 00:25:55,039 --> 00:25:57,760 particular project didn't warrant the 616 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:02,000 ability to put a flashing sign or 617 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,320 something there to indicate the traffic 618 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:06,400 that there might be pedestrians. 619 00:26:06,400 --> 00:26:08,640 However, since that time, there has been 620 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,360 an increase of use, but unfortunately, 621 00:26:11,360 --> 00:26:13,360 there's also been an increase of project 622 00:26:13,360 --> 00:26:15,440 cost. So, the intent of this board 623 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,080 modification is to request that we add 624 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:21,279 an additional 150,000 to this project of 625 00:26:21,279 --> 00:26:24,400 CMAC funds. These are the Ogden Lanton 626 00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,679 congestion mitigation air quality funds. 627 00:26:27,679 --> 00:26:29,760 and then the local match of just under 628 00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:33,200 11,000 bringing us total project value 629 00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,440 to 252,000 630 00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:37,919 plus. So, Mr. Chair, that's the board 631 00:26:37,919 --> 00:26:40,240 modification before us. Thank you so 632 00:26:40,240 --> 00:26:41,520 much. Are there any questions or 633 00:26:41,520 --> 00:26:44,640 comments before I entertain a motion? 634 00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:46,400 Hearing none, I'm looking for a motion 635 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,559 to approve the resolution to modify the 636 00:26:48,559 --> 00:26:56,230 2026 to 2031 transportation improvement program as requested. 637 00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:58,159 » Mr. Mr. Chair, I move approval of the 638 00:26:58,159 --> 00:26:59,279 resolution. 639 00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:02,559 >> Thank you, Carlton.

So, if I was a 655 00:27:40,159 --> 00:27:41,760 drum player, we'd have a little drum 656 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:43,760 roll here or maybe we'd have just a 657 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:47,520 there. That's amazing. Thank you. So, 658 00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:49,600 um, the chair pointed out there are 659 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,840 programs and we're going to identify, 660 00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,080 um, we're going to focus on the first 661 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:56,240 two, but I just want to give these guys 662 00:27:56,240 --> 00:27:57,919 each an opportunity to introduce 663 00:27:57,919 --> 00:28:00,240 themselves. There say step forward and 664 00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:03,840 wave to you. So, these four projects are 665 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:07,279 the capital funds or our funds for the 666 00:28:07,279 --> 00:28:10,320 capital projects in a while front. These 667 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:12,960 are the programs that your key 668 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,080 responsibility is to recommend the 669 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,559 projects that'll move forward in these 670 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:20,480 programs. So today we're going to 671 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,960 present these projects to you for your 672 00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:24,799 approval and recommendation to the 673 00:28:24,799 --> 00:28:27,520 regional council that they be included 674 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:31,600 in the draft programs. So where did that 675 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:34,799 all start? Well, you you may recall that 676 00:28:34,799 --> 00:28:36,960 last August when we went to the regional 677 00:28:36,960 --> 00:28:40,080 council, we received direction from them 678 00:28:40,080 --> 00:28:43,520 to solicit the new project process that 679 00:28:43,520 --> 00:28:46,240 initiates in September. So, in 680 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:48,080 September, we sent out a request for 681 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,000 letters of intent. That's an intent to 682 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,919 submit a concept report or an 683 00:28:51,919 --> 00:28:55,520 application. Then those were due back to 684 00:28:55,520 --> 00:28:58,399 us in the middle part of October. And we 685 00:28:58,399 --> 00:29:00,480 requested from those projects that were 686 00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,120 eligible. We had a very high level 687 00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:06,000 review of the projects, identified uh 688 00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:09,840 eligibility as well as conversation on 689 00:29:09,840 --> 00:29:12,960 where the the project may stand the best 690 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:15,840 chance to compete for resources or where 691 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,640 they could go for resources, but that we 692 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,960 requested the potential project sponsors 693 00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,279 prepare a project evaluation concept 694 00:29:23,279 --> 00:29:26,000 report or an application. and they 695 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,600 prepared that and that was due back to 696 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,799 us in the early part of December. From 697 00:29:30,799 --> 00:29:33,600 that point through the months of 698 00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,240 January, February, March, we were 699 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:38,960 involved in project evaluation. That 700 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:41,039 included conversations with the 701 00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:43,279 potential project sponsor. That included 702 00:29:43,279 --> 00:29:46,320 field reviews where we were out on site 703 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:48,799 looking at the projects. That included 704 00:29:48,799 --> 00:29:50,720 evaluating all of the data and 705 00:29:50,720 --> 00:29:52,799 information that we solicited and got 706 00:29:52,799 --> 00:29:55,440 back in their applications. 707 00:29:55,440 --> 00:29:59,039 Then we from this point forward we bring 708 00:29:59,039 --> 00:30:01,600 that information to transcom for 709 00:30:01,600 --> 00:30:04,159 transcom's review and we'll dive into 710 00:30:04,159 --> 00:30:06,159 that in just a minute and then their 711 00:30:06,159 --> 00:30:08,399 recommendation to the regional council 712 00:30:08,399 --> 00:30:10,720 and we'll take that information to them 713 00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:13,120 in their May meeting. After that we 714 00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:14,960 prepare the draft tip to go out for 715 00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,840 public review and comment which we will 716 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:20,640 be directed by transcom in June that 717 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,200 takes place during the month of July. 718 00:30:23,200 --> 00:30:25,279 After July, we bring that information 719 00:30:25,279 --> 00:30:28,080 back to all of our committees and we go 720 00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:30,399 through and share with them the 721 00:30:30,399 --> 00:30:33,200 information we received and then receive 722 00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:35,840 direction from Transcom and then into 723 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,720 the regional council for approval of the 724 00:30:38,720 --> 00:30:42,960 27 2032 tip. That information is then 725 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,840 compiled with UD do and the other three 726 00:30:45,840 --> 00:30:48,000 NPOS's in the state and is submitted to 727 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,120 Federal Highways FHWA and Federal 728 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:54,399 Transit Agency FTA for their review and 729 00:30:54,399 --> 00:30:57,760 their approval come October 1 730 00:30:57,760 --> 00:31:02,399 is when our 2027 2032 tip becomes a real 731 00:31:02,399 --> 00:31:05,039 live document. That's where we're moving 732 00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,120 forward. But incidentally, back in 733 00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:08,960 September, we'll begin the process for 734 00:31:08,960 --> 00:31:13,279 the 2023 2028 process. But today, here's 735 00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:15,200 where we are. We're bringing this 736 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,679 information to you of the draft 737 00:31:17,679 --> 00:31:19,840 projects. Now, where did we go or how 738 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:23,120 did we get here? Well, when we solicited 739 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:24,799 those projects and we received the 740 00:31:24,799 --> 00:31:27,600 concept reports in the Ogden area, Ogden 741 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:29,919 Leighton area, which goes from 742 00:31:29,919 --> 00:31:32,240 essentially Bigham City all the way down 743 00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:34,480 to Utah County 744 00:31:34,480 --> 00:31:39,440 and is um west of the the Wasatch Front. 745 00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:44,000 We received 28 projects to evaluate. 28, 746 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,640 but there's 24 unique project. That 747 00:31:46,640 --> 00:31:49,120 means there's four projects that also 748 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:52,320 asked out of other funding sources. So, 749 00:31:52,320 --> 00:31:54,720 we got 24 projects that we're going to 750 00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:59,039 focus on and they totaled more than $177 751 00:31:59,039 --> 00:32:00,559 million 752 00:32:00,559 --> 00:32:04,320 for total project costs. They requested 753 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,919 a little more than $111 million to 754 00:32:07,919 --> 00:32:10,080 construct or to implement these 755 00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:12,480 projects. and we had available in the 756 00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,600 Ogden Lake and urban area to program 25 757 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:17,600 a.5 million. 758 00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:21,519 So a significant need on great projects, 759 00:32:21,519 --> 00:32:22,960 but it really narrows that 760 00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:25,360 responsibility down to identify what's 761 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,080 going to make the best project for the 762 00:32:28,080 --> 00:32:30,720 funds that are available. So in the Salt 763 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:33,440 Lake area and can I just let me just go 764 00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:34,880 back for one slide? Let me just jump in 765 00:32:34,880 --> 00:32:37,360 just for one point of clarification. So 766 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,880 what you're showing on the screen right 767 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,320 now are the project requests that came 768 00:32:42,320 --> 00:32:45,200 in from a particular a portion of our 769 00:32:45,200 --> 00:32:46,640 region. Right. Correct. 770 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,440 >> Southern Boxelder County, Weber County, 771 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:50,559 Davis County. 772 00:32:50,559 --> 00:32:50,960 >> Yes. 773 00:32:50,960 --> 00:32:54,799 >> And um we handle that area with with uh 774 00:32:54,799 --> 00:32:58,480 in one uh segment. And then we have Salt 775 00:32:58,480 --> 00:33:00,720 Lake County in another segment. You're 776 00:33:00,720 --> 00:33:04,080 about to go to that. And then Morgan and 777 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:06,720 Tilla counties. We work with them. But 778 00:33:06,720 --> 00:33:09,679 this project funding of projects through 779 00:33:09,679 --> 00:33:13,200 these funds actually goes through UD do 780 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:18,000 not through WFRC and we work with the 781 00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:19,760 rural planning organizations in Morgan 782 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,080 and Tuella. We staff them to help them 783 00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,480 do their processes in Morgan and Tuella. 784 00:33:24,480 --> 00:33:25,840 So I just wanted to make sure that it's 785 00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:29,120 clear what the areas are that Ben is 786 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:32,240 talking about uh with all of these 787 00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,000 project requests that are coming in. And 788 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,159 Ben, just to emphasize what you said, 789 00:33:36,159 --> 00:33:38,559 the blue line is how much money is 790 00:33:38,559 --> 00:33:41,120 requested and the red line is bar is how 791 00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:42,720 much money we have available. So the 792 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:44,960 need is so much greater than the uh the 793 00:33:44,960 --> 00:33:47,760 funds we have available. Thanks, Ben. 794 00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:49,600 Thank you, Andrew. 795 00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:52,080 If I may, I'll just note that the joint 796 00:33:52,080 --> 00:33:54,240 highway committee, the statewide joint 797 00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,720 highway committee uh made 798 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,799 recommendations 799 00:33:58,799 --> 00:34:02,640 uh just a week ago in regard to funding 800 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,080 of projects uh outside of the Wasatch 801 00:34:06,080 --> 00:34:10,159 Front area and uh those recommendations 802 00:34:10,159 --> 00:34:11,679 will be taken to the state 803 00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:14,879 transportation commission uh later in 804 00:34:14,879 --> 00:34:17,760 May or June. So, 805 00:34:17,760 --> 00:34:20,720 >> perfect. Thank you, Wayne. Thank you. 806 00:34:20,720 --> 00:34:26,320 So, as Andrew indicated, um, and we'll highlight just her or talk a 807 00:34:26,320 --> 00:34:28,159 little more. And so, in the Salt Lake 808 00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:31,520 area, there were 77 total projects to 809 00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:34,240 request, 56 of those projects are 810 00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:36,879 unique. So of those unique projects, 811 00:34:36,879 --> 00:34:40,480 they totaled more than 621 million 812 00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:44,159 requesting more than 235 million and we 813 00:34:44,159 --> 00:34:47,280 had available just under 40 million to 814 00:34:47,280 --> 00:34:50,159 program. So like on the the Ogden 815 00:34:50,159 --> 00:34:52,399 Leighton urban area, you can see that 816 00:34:52,399 --> 00:34:54,320 there were 28 projects that were 817 00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,960 requesting STP funds, surface 818 00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:59,760 transportation program funds. There were 819 00:34:59,760 --> 00:35:02,240 16 that were asking for CMAC funds. 820 00:35:02,240 --> 00:35:04,560 There were 19 that were asking for TIP 821 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:07,040 funds and there were 14 that were asking 822 00:35:07,040 --> 00:35:10,079 for carbon reduction program funds or 823 00:35:10,079 --> 00:35:12,320 CRP funds. So if you add those blue 824 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:15,119 lines up, that's your 77. But there's 825 00:35:15,119 --> 00:35:17,680 some of those that are carried over. The 826 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:20,720 part we want to point out though is the 827 00:35:20,720 --> 00:35:23,760 total and requested is not a 828 00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:25,359 duplication. 829 00:35:25,359 --> 00:35:28,960 that's unique to those unique projects 830 00:35:28,960 --> 00:35:31,839 or those numbers are are associated with 831 00:35:31,839 --> 00:35:33,920 unique projects. Yes. 832 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:35,680 >> Are you saying that if you apply under 833 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,760 one category, you cannot use that same 834 00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:40,160 application for another category? 835 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,079 >> Um, 836 00:35:42,079 --> 00:35:44,480 no. But they can be considered in both. 837 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:47,040 And and you will see here shortly, 838 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,880 mayor, that there are projects that are 839 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:52,320 funded in both categories to help us 840 00:35:52,320 --> 00:35:55,440 meet that project request or to program 841 00:35:55,440 --> 00:35:57,839 funds towards. It may not be the total 842 00:35:57,839 --> 00:36:00,320 amount being requested, but they may be 843 00:36:00,320 --> 00:36:01,440 funded out of. 844 00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:03,359 >> So it could be partial in one and 845 00:36:03,359 --> 00:36:05,520 partial in another one to make to go 846 00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:06,880 together because they fit. 847 00:36:06,880 --> 00:36:09,280 >> Boy, you're headed right down the road. 848 00:36:09,280 --> 00:36:10,880 We want you to. to just hold that 849 00:36:10,880 --> 00:36:14,000 question for just a little bit longer. 850 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,160 >> Perfect. Perfect. Thank you. So, um, to 851 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:20,160 get these projects, then here's the 852 00:36:20,160 --> 00:36:23,599 information that we we solicit with the 853 00:36:23,599 --> 00:36:26,320 potential project sponsors. So, these 854 00:36:26,320 --> 00:36:28,480 right here, these forms, that's the cost 855 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:31,680 estimation forms. Every project sponsor 856 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,240 fills out those forms, gives us the 857 00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:36,079 exact same information for every 858 00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:39,520 project. Right? Then these forms right 859 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:42,960 here, these forms are for the STP, the 860 00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:46,320 CMAC and the CRP programs so that we can 861 00:36:46,320 --> 00:36:50,560 ask and get back data, the same kind of 862 00:36:50,560 --> 00:36:53,040 data from those projects. The next ones 863 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:54,800 there in the yellow, the four sheets, 864 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:58,240 those are for the TAP programs. And in 865 00:36:58,240 --> 00:37:01,040 the CMAC and the CRP where they deal 866 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:04,000 with air quality benefits, they also 867 00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:06,240 have to submit an emission analysis 868 00:37:06,240 --> 00:37:09,119 form. So from all of this information, 869 00:37:09,119 --> 00:37:11,119 we're collecting a lot of data. A lot of 870 00:37:11,119 --> 00:37:13,280 data that we can measure, a lot of data 871 00:37:13,280 --> 00:37:17,040 we can do calculations from. We also 872 00:37:17,040 --> 00:37:19,440 have information that we collect when we 873 00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,680 go out for a field review. We validate 874 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:24,800 information we've collected or the data, 875 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:26,720 but we also collect additional 876 00:37:26,720 --> 00:37:28,880 information that we can see on site that 877 00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:34,079 maybe you can't measure. And so we got a 878 00:37:34,079 --> 00:37:37,440 source here of data or distribution of 879 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,800 projects. We have these numbers can help 880 00:37:40,800 --> 00:37:43,599 us generate a score. 881 00:37:43,599 --> 00:37:46,960 That score will may include information 882 00:37:46,960 --> 00:37:49,920 on congestion or access, pavement 883 00:37:49,920 --> 00:37:52,400 condition or safety improvements, 884 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:55,119 emission, air quality, project cost, 885 00:37:55,119 --> 00:37:58,240 etc. That category with criteria goes 886 00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:01,680 on. But we call this the data. This is 887 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,000 stuff that can be quantified, can be 888 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:07,359 measured. But we also because many of 889 00:38:07,359 --> 00:38:09,920 you know to identify a good project 890 00:38:09,920 --> 00:38:11,599 sometimes you just can't measure 891 00:38:11,599 --> 00:38:14,240 everything about a project. So we 892 00:38:14,240 --> 00:38:16,560 consider other relevant professional 893 00:38:16,560 --> 00:38:18,240 considerations. 894 00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:19,920 Some of these are on a field review. 895 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:21,920 We'll talk maybe briefly about some of 896 00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:24,640 those examples. The sponsor's project 897 00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,960 history. We don't want to throw any 898 00:38:26,960 --> 00:38:29,040 project sponsor under the bus, but it's 899 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:31,680 important that we've got didn't mean 900 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:34,240 that to bad towards UTA either. 901 00:38:34,240 --> 00:38:36,240 >> I was going to say we have a very good 902 00:38:36,240 --> 00:38:37,839 safety record. Oh, 903 00:38:37,839 --> 00:38:40,720 >> so few people end up under the 904 00:38:40,720 --> 00:38:42,800 >> good. We won't don't want to throw them 905 00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,160 under a green bike or something, but but 906 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:49,359 uh the longer we wait on a project, the 907 00:38:49,359 --> 00:38:52,320 more it cost and the less our dollar can 908 00:38:52,320 --> 00:38:54,960 afford. And so we want those projects 909 00:38:54,960 --> 00:38:57,040 happening as quick as they can happen. 910 00:38:57,040 --> 00:38:59,280 Distribution of funding across the area. 911 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:01,119 Maybe some area is really heavy on 912 00:39:01,119 --> 00:39:03,599 funds, project synergy, what's happening 913 00:39:03,599 --> 00:39:05,520 with this project as this one moves 914 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:08,320 forward. And we you see the others that 915 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:10,800 are there. And so these are other 916 00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:12,880 considerations that are being included 917 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,599 when we go. So we we gather all of this 918 00:39:15,599 --> 00:39:17,920 information from the field review from 919 00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:20,079 the data that is collected on the 920 00:39:20,079 --> 00:39:23,040 concept reports and then we look at all 921 00:39:23,040 --> 00:39:25,200 this other information and that's where 922 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,920 we prepare recommendations or come 923 00:39:27,920 --> 00:39:31,040 forward with the project. So maybe if 924 00:39:31,040 --> 00:39:33,440 it's all right I actually I found this 925 00:39:33,440 --> 00:39:36,320 really cool definition 926 00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,880 that I kind of tweaked to address but it 927 00:39:38,880 --> 00:39:41,280 says this. that says quantify and 928 00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:44,079 qualify represent different approaches 929 00:39:44,079 --> 00:39:47,280 to information. There's part I added to 930 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:49,040 identify the project with the most 931 00:39:49,040 --> 00:39:52,560 benefit at this time. Quantify measures 932 00:39:52,560 --> 00:39:55,040 with numbers, how much, how many, 933 00:39:55,040 --> 00:39:58,079 focusing on precision statist 934 00:39:58,079 --> 00:40:01,440 statistical data. Qualify describes 935 00:40:01,440 --> 00:40:04,000 characteristics, nuances, and context. 936 00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:06,720 What kind or why? And so using 937 00:40:06,720 --> 00:40:09,520 descriptive descriptive language, 938 00:40:09,520 --> 00:40:13,200 quantifying counts, qualifying defines. 939 00:40:13,200 --> 00:40:15,359 And so these are some of the tools that 940 00:40:15,359 --> 00:40:17,599 we're utilizing to identify the best 941 00:40:17,599 --> 00:40:20,320 project. But if it's all right with you, 942 00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,599 let's walk through an object lesson here 943 00:40:23,599 --> 00:40:28,000 to illustrate what we're talking about. 944 00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:34,950 Brace yourselves. 945 00:40:34,960 --> 00:40:37,599 So, I want to introduce I want to 946 00:40:37,599 --> 00:40:41,680 introduce project A and project B. 947 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:44,480 So, we're going to put project 948 00:40:44,480 --> 00:40:46,480 I'm not nervous. 949 00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:50,560 Let's put project A over here. 950 00:40:50,560 --> 00:40:52,560 Maybe we'll 951 00:40:52,560 --> 00:40:56,480 put project B over here. 952 00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,640 Holy cow. 953 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:01,520 >> Ben, are you saying that we don't with 954 00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:05,440 all the even with the 50 or so million 955 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:07,520 dollars a year that we have available to 956 00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,160 put to projects, we can't fund all of 957 00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,240 them? So, somehow we have to make 958 00:41:12,240 --> 00:41:14,319 decisions about which projects. Is that 959 00:41:14,319 --> 00:41:15,520 what you're saying? 960 00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:17,760 >> Yes. Thank you, Andrew. 961 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:20,480 >> Yeah. And you know, it it's a tough job. 962 00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,839 It's it's really tough and you know we rely heavily on our technical 963 00:41:25,839 --> 00:41:28,640 advisory committees to help us as we're 964 00:41:28,640 --> 00:41:30,160 going through all this information and 965 00:41:30,160 --> 00:41:32,160 that's made up of the engineers and 966 00:41:32,160 --> 00:41:34,560 public works and the staff of your 967 00:41:34,560 --> 00:41:37,599 cities. So let me introduce this is 968 00:41:37,599 --> 00:41:41,109 project A 969 00:41:41,119 --> 00:41:44,720 and let me introduce this is project B. 970 00:41:44,720 --> 00:41:47,119 Now, if we were out on a field review 971 00:41:47,119 --> 00:41:49,440 and you pulled up and saw project A and 972 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,240 you pulled up and saw project B, they 973 00:41:52,240 --> 00:41:55,599 look pretty close, right? There's not 974 00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:58,000 much of a difference between either 975 00:41:58,000 --> 00:42:00,560 project. At least what we can see, we 976 00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,560 can handle, we can look at them, but 977 00:42:02,560 --> 00:42:04,160 they both look like they're doing their 978 00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:06,800 job. They both look like they're a good 979 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:09,359 project, but we've got nothing to 980 00:42:09,359 --> 00:42:12,800 compare. So that's why we send out all 981 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:15,680 of those forms requesting information so 982 00:42:15,680 --> 00:42:18,720 that we can generate data. So we can get 983 00:42:18,720 --> 00:42:30,870 data. So let's go after some data 984 00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,599 here. We got some data 985 00:42:33,599 --> 00:42:38,160 just to reduce the mess. All right. 986 00:42:38,160 --> 00:42:39,760 So 987 00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,920 project A 988 00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:45,200 we sent out the concept report and we 989 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:48,079 said project A tell us the length of the 990 00:42:48,079 --> 00:42:50,160 project 991 00:42:50,160 --> 00:42:53,440 they responded. So 992 00:42:53,440 --> 00:42:55,760 project A sent in the concept report. 993 00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:59,680 They got information on how many the AAD 994 00:42:59,680 --> 00:43:02,079 that the traffic volumes they got 995 00:43:02,079 --> 00:43:05,680 information on the the length of the 996 00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:08,319 project. They got information on the 997 00:43:08,319 --> 00:43:11,200 condition of the project and that 998 00:43:11,200 --> 00:43:12,800 project 999 00:43:12,800 --> 00:43:14,720 looks like 1000 00:43:14,720 --> 00:43:18,950 a pretty good project. 1001 00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:21,200 So project A supplied us with the data 1002 00:43:21,200 --> 00:43:23,040 we needed 1003 00:43:23,040 --> 00:43:26,720 to know what's entailed in that project. 1004 00:43:26,720 --> 00:43:29,280 Well, project B, they also submitted a 1005 00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,240 concept report. They also prepared the 1006 00:43:32,240 --> 00:43:34,480 information and told us how long the 1007 00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:37,839 project is. They also told us what the 1008 00:43:37,839 --> 00:43:43,190 traffic volumes are in the facility 1009 00:43:43,200 --> 00:43:47,040 and and they also told us the conditions 1010 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:51,750 of the facility. 1011 00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,640 Again, it was great to get the data from 1012 00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,640 the city, 1013 00:43:56,640 --> 00:44:01,040 but well, let's end it now. 1014 00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:04,160 And if we're going after these projects, 1015 00:44:04,160 --> 00:44:06,880 I don't know about you, but me myself, I 1016 00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:09,839 would choose project A. Project A just 1017 00:44:09,839 --> 00:44:12,640 has a lot more data. It has the 1018 00:44:12,640 --> 00:44:15,200 information that's going to accomplish a 1019 00:44:15,200 --> 00:44:17,920 lot more than project B if we went 1020 00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:21,520 solely on the data that was collected on 1021 00:44:21,520 --> 00:44:25,119 the forms, right? Sometimes that's not 1022 00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:26,880 the only thing we're looking at on a 1023 00:44:26,880 --> 00:44:30,640 project. Case in point, we had a safety 1024 00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:33,920 improvement project years ago, but there 1025 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,400 was no safety concerns. There had never 1026 00:44:36,400 --> 00:44:38,000 been an incident. There had never been 1027 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:40,079 an accident. There had never been an 1028 00:44:40,079 --> 00:44:42,319 issue. But we've got this safety 1029 00:44:42,319 --> 00:44:45,520 concern. We've got all of this projects, 1030 00:44:45,520 --> 00:44:47,920 millions of dollars of requests, but not 1031 00:44:47,920 --> 00:44:51,680 much. So, the data was just like this. 1032 00:44:51,680 --> 00:44:53,280 all these other guys are showing a lot 1033 00:44:53,280 --> 00:44:55,200 of information 1034 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,520 and this one just didn't have enough 1035 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:00,000 information that would help sell that 1036 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:02,560 project. So, we started to look at other 1037 00:45:02,560 --> 00:45:04,720 things. So, let's look at some of those 1038 00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,839 professional relevant information or 1039 00:45:07,839 --> 00:45:10,160 relevant professional information that 1040 00:45:10,160 --> 00:45:15,190 we could consider. 1041 00:45:15,200 --> 00:45:19,280 So we went out on a field review 1042 00:45:19,280 --> 00:45:22,880 and on that field review we looked at 1043 00:45:22,880 --> 00:45:24,800 the projects. 1044 00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:26,480 Project A, you got a pretty good 1045 00:45:26,480 --> 00:45:28,319 project. But while we were out there on 1046 00:45:28,319 --> 00:45:31,839 project B, we were standing alongside a 1047 00:45:31,839 --> 00:45:34,240 busy road that had a very narrow 1048 00:45:34,240 --> 00:45:36,720 shoulder that had a ditch next to that 1049 00:45:36,720 --> 00:45:39,520 shoulder while little ones were coming 1050 00:45:39,520 --> 00:45:42,079 to school, walking between that white 1051 00:45:42,079 --> 00:45:45,760 stripe and the edge of the ditch, just 1052 00:45:45,760 --> 00:45:48,720 inches, maybe a foot or two from cars 1053 00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:51,040 that are passing. What did that tell us 1054 00:45:51,040 --> 00:45:54,079 on that field review? Well, that let us 1055 00:45:54,079 --> 00:45:57,359 know that, hey, this project is pretty 1056 00:45:57,359 --> 00:45:59,760 important. 1057 00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:03,599 Well, then we looked at sponsor project 1058 00:46:03,599 --> 00:46:06,400 history. Well, you know, our project 1059 00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:08,720 sponsors overall, we've got awesome 1060 00:46:08,720 --> 00:46:10,720 cities. We work with some of the best 1061 00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:13,280 people in the industry. And you know 1062 00:46:13,280 --> 00:46:16,720 what? Project A people, well done. They 1063 00:46:16,720 --> 00:46:18,400 are out there hustling. They're making 1064 00:46:18,400 --> 00:46:20,800 that project happen. But you know, same 1065 00:46:20,800 --> 00:46:23,359 thing. Project B. Those guys are out 1066 00:46:23,359 --> 00:46:25,359 there making things happen. We're 1067 00:46:25,359 --> 00:46:27,280 getting our projects on time. We're 1068 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:29,359 saving the funds by getting those 1069 00:46:29,359 --> 00:46:32,079 projects built earlier. Well, then we 1070 00:46:32,079 --> 00:46:34,560 went out and we started to look at 1071 00:46:34,560 --> 00:46:36,960 programwise, how are we on equity of 1072 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,839 funding? Well, you know, on project A, 1073 00:46:39,839 --> 00:46:41,920 there's a lot of big projects that are 1074 00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:44,480 going on right now. Project B, it's been 1075 00:46:44,480 --> 00:46:46,560 a while since we've been back out there 1076 00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,440 with funding for that project. So 1077 00:46:49,440 --> 00:46:52,800 project B, you know, we recognize that 1078 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:55,359 we haven't had much funding in this area 1079 00:46:55,359 --> 00:47:01,040 right now. So project B. Well, then 1080 00:47:01,040 --> 00:47:04,240 we look at project synergy. Now this 1081 00:47:04,240 --> 00:47:06,960 what I had to I forgot this had to go 1082 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:08,800 back out in the fridge to get we can't 1083 00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,400 go without synergy. So a synergy is when 1084 00:47:12,400 --> 00:47:14,240 this project happens, what's it going to 1085 00:47:14,240 --> 00:47:16,240 bring with it? What's happening in the 1086 00:47:16,240 --> 00:47:18,400 area? Maybe there's another project 1087 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:20,240 that's going to happen. We got a couple 1088 00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:21,599 of things that are going to tie into 1089 00:47:21,599 --> 00:47:24,079 that. But this project synergy, if this 1090 00:47:24,079 --> 00:47:26,319 project happens right now, we're going 1091 00:47:26,319 --> 00:47:28,960 to get a lot bigger bang for the buck. 1092 00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:34,550 So, 1093 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,680 project B, you got it. This is synergy. 1094 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:40,079 Project A, we recognize it's good 1095 00:47:40,079 --> 00:47:43,040 project, but it's it's that's the 1096 00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:45,280 project right now. We don't have much to 1097 00:47:45,280 --> 00:47:49,040 build from right now. Well, then you 1098 00:47:49,040 --> 00:47:50,720 know, 1099 00:47:50,720 --> 00:47:53,119 timing efficiencies, 1100 00:47:53,119 --> 00:47:55,680 that's a big one. 1101 00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:58,720 And with our projects, both A and B are 1102 00:47:58,720 --> 00:48:01,440 doing really good. So, we're going to 1103 00:48:01,440 --> 00:48:05,119 recognize Sorry about that. A well, 1104 00:48:05,119 --> 00:48:09,200 whoa. And B, look at you. All right. So, 1105 00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,839 we've got 1106 00:48:11,839 --> 00:48:14,480 that there.

I 1222 00:53:27,280 --> 00:53:29,280 mean ice cream ice cream 1223 00:53:29,280 --> 00:53:31,119 >> just to be clear about what we're 1224 00:53:31,119 --> 00:53:34,240 talking about here. So again, Mr. Chair, 1225 00:53:34,240 --> 00:53:37,040 just to be super clear about this. 1226 00:53:37,040 --> 00:53:42,240 >> Um we wish that we had enough funding 1227 00:53:42,240 --> 00:53:45,200 that every community could get the ice 1228 00:53:45,200 --> 00:53:47,920 cream that they want. We wish that every 1229 00:53:47,920 --> 00:53:50,079 project that was applied for there was 1230 00:53:50,079 --> 00:53:53,440 enough res resources for that but that's 1231 00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:56,880 not the case. We can't give uh we don't 1232 00:53:56,880 --> 00:53:58,480 have enough money to award every 1233 00:53:58,480 --> 00:54:00,960 project. Right Ben? Right. And so we 1234 00:54:00,960 --> 00:54:03,760 have to do this really thoughtful and 1235 00:54:03,760 --> 00:54:07,119 thorough process of evaluating projects 1236 00:54:07,119 --> 00:54:11,200 as Ben said using data objective 1237 00:54:11,200 --> 00:54:14,880 criteria and then also 1238 00:54:14,880 --> 00:54:16,480 uh other relevant professional 1239 00:54:16,480 --> 00:54:18,800 considerations and all of that goes into 1240 00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,119 the decisions we make. So Ben, thank you 1241 00:54:21,119 --> 00:54:21,920 so much. 1242 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:30,549 >> Thank you Andrew. Thank you. And so 1243 00:54:30,559 --> 00:54:36,240 ah there we go. A boy. So, so with this 1244 00:54:36,240 --> 00:54:39,280 combined effort, um, as we go through 1245 00:54:39,280 --> 00:54:42,880 the information, hopefully that helps as 1246 00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:46,319 we identify the projects that you can 1247 00:54:46,319 --> 00:54:48,400 recognize 1248 00:54:48,400 --> 00:54:53,040 and understand and um, feel free to ask 1249 00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:55,119 questions as we move through the 1250 00:54:55,119 --> 00:54:58,079 projects, but there's quite a few. And 1251 00:54:58,079 --> 00:55:00,480 so 1252 00:55:00,480 --> 00:55:04,240 in your meeting materials is a copy of 1253 00:55:04,240 --> 00:55:06,800 the data sheets for each of the 1254 00:55:06,800 --> 00:55:09,839 programs. So this is what the data sheet 1255 00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:12,640 looks like for the CMAC program. You can 1256 00:55:12,640 --> 00:55:14,559 see those projects that are highlighted 1257 00:55:14,559 --> 00:55:16,960 in yellow. Those are the projects that 1258 00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:19,440 are being recommended. And you can see 1259 00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:22,079 in the blue column there on the left, 1260 00:55:22,079 --> 00:55:23,520 that's the amount of funds that are 1261 00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,240 being recommended for the project. And 1262 00:55:26,240 --> 00:55:29,839 so this is the CMAC program and you can 1263 00:55:29,839 --> 00:55:33,359 see the biggest um evaluation on the 1264 00:55:33,359 --> 00:55:37,280 CMAC is the emissions analysis. We need 1265 00:55:37,280 --> 00:55:39,599 to de demonstrate that we've got air 1266 00:55:39,599 --> 00:55:42,160 quality benefits, right? 1267 00:55:42,160 --> 00:55:45,680 So then we have the CRP or the carbon 1268 00:55:45,680 --> 00:55:48,640 reduction program and the the format is 1269 00:55:48,640 --> 00:55:51,119 the same but the carbon reduction 1270 00:55:51,119 --> 00:55:53,680 program requires that we show a 1271 00:55:53,680 --> 00:55:57,440 demonstration of reduction of CO2 1272 00:55:57,440 --> 00:56:00,640 and so you can see how that and we'll go 1273 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,280 through the projects. Then we've got the 1274 00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:06,240 TAP funds. And I I might highlight too 1275 00:56:06,240 --> 00:56:09,040 that that on our team, the short range 1276 00:56:09,040 --> 00:56:13,119 team is Wayne is our our coordinator on 1277 00:56:13,119 --> 00:56:15,280 the short range team and oversees our 1278 00:56:15,280 --> 00:56:18,240 work here and and the efforts that are 1279 00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:22,480 being made. Far there she is the one who 1280 00:56:22,480 --> 00:56:25,680 takes the lead in the evaluation of the 1281 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:30,240 data on the the CMAQ and CRP programs. 1282 00:56:30,240 --> 00:56:32,160 This program that's showing here, this 1283 00:56:32,160 --> 00:56:34,400 is the TAP program or the transportation 1284 00:56:34,400 --> 00:56:37,200 alternative program. Hume Van Wagon is 1285 00:56:37,200 --> 00:56:40,240 the one who takes the lead on this. And 1286 00:56:40,240 --> 00:56:42,640 we've got actually three things that 1287 00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:45,119 we're looking when we're programming TAP 1288 00:56:45,119 --> 00:56:48,559 funds. The blue identifies those capital 1289 00:56:48,559 --> 00:56:51,280 improvements. The red are project 1290 00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:54,400 studies or plans and the green is safe 1291 00:56:54,400 --> 00:56:57,760 routes to school. So if it's a blue 1292 00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,000 project, you can see the points are in 1293 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,839 the blue. If it's a red project, you can 1294 00:57:01,839 --> 00:57:04,000 see where the points are in red and 1295 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,400 green. If it's in green and that's how 1296 00:57:06,400 --> 00:57:08,799 the projects are evaluated so that we 1297 00:57:08,799 --> 00:57:12,480 can evaluate like projects against like 1298 00:57:12,480 --> 00:57:14,960 projects. 1299 00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,599 Then at the last table that we'll look 1300 00:57:17,599 --> 00:57:19,359 at there, this is the surface 1301 00:57:19,359 --> 00:57:22,799 transportation or STB program. And as 1302 00:57:22,799 --> 00:57:25,599 you can see the various criteria on that 1303 00:57:25,599 --> 00:57:27,200 project as well. And these are the 1304 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:30,160 tables included in your meeting meeting 1305 00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:33,280 materials. So we have all of this 1306 00:57:33,280 --> 00:57:35,440 information. We go through all of the 1307 00:57:35,440 --> 00:57:38,720 projects and as the chair indicated, 1308 00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:40,640 we're going to look at the CAQ and the 1309 00:57:40,640 --> 00:57:44,400 CRP programs together because they're so 1310 00:57:44,400 --> 00:57:46,960 closely related and you're going to see 1311 00:57:46,960 --> 00:57:48,880 that some of the projects cross 1312 00:57:48,880 --> 00:57:52,160 programs. So here's where we go and and 1313 00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,319 I might add mayor to your question 1314 00:57:54,319 --> 00:57:56,799 earlier some of these projects are also 1315 00:57:56,799 --> 00:58:00,000 going to show in other programs as well. 1316 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:03,280 We try to identify the funds for the 1317 00:58:03,280 --> 00:58:05,680 projects that'll get us the biggest 1318 00:58:05,680 --> 00:58:09,680 benefit right now. So let's start here 1319 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,160 in the the CMAC program here. We've got 1320 00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:13,440 three projects that are being 1321 00:58:13,440 --> 00:58:15,760 recommended in the Ogden Leighton area. 1322 00:58:15,760 --> 00:58:18,000 Those three projects total up to $5 1323 00:58:18,000 --> 00:58:21,359 million being recommended from the TAC 1324 00:58:21,359 --> 00:58:23,839 committee to Transcom. In the Salt Lake 1325 00:58:23,839 --> 00:58:26,160 area, we've got six projects that are 1326 00:58:26,160 --> 00:58:29,280 recommended from the TAC to Transcom. 1327 00:58:29,280 --> 00:58:33,040 They total 9.6 plus million. So, we're 1328 00:58:33,040 --> 00:58:34,640 going to go through these nine projects 1329 00:58:34,640 --> 00:58:37,280 fairly quick. And so, here they are. So, 1330 00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:39,599 this is the first project in the Ogden 1331 00:58:39,599 --> 00:58:42,160 Lake urban area. This in South Weber. is 1332 00:58:42,160 --> 00:58:44,960 a South Weieber UD do project on 27 East 1333 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,880 and South Weber Drive. This is to widen 1334 00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:51,440 for turn lanes as well as intersection 1335 00:58:51,440 --> 00:58:53,680 improvements. The estimated project cost 1336 00:58:53,680 --> 00:58:57,280 on this is 3.7 plus million. Funds being 1337 00:58:57,280 --> 00:58:59,680 requested are 3.3 1338 00:58:59,680 --> 00:59:01,599 plus million and the TA committee 1339 00:59:01,599 --> 00:59:04,799 recommended a million dollars. 1340 00:59:04,799 --> 00:59:07,200 The next project is a project in 1341 00:59:07,200 --> 00:59:11,040 Clearfield. This is on 1000 East just 1342 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:14,559 there on SR 193. This is to construct a 1343 00:59:14,559 --> 00:59:16,319 pedestrian bridge that would go north 1344 00:59:16,319 --> 00:59:20,480 and south over SR 193. Estimated project 1345 00:59:20,480 --> 00:59:23,280 cost on this project is 20 plus million. 1346 00:59:23,280 --> 00:59:27,359 Funds being requested are 17.6 million. 1347 00:59:27,359 --> 00:59:29,760 The tax committee recommended 2 million. 1348 00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,200 Now, I'm going to pause right there 1349 00:59:31,200 --> 00:59:33,200 because I can see some of you wonder, 1350 00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:35,520 well, that's a drop in a bucket. We're 1351 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,680 never going to build that with that. The 1352 00:59:37,680 --> 00:59:40,000 intent is on some of these projects to 1353 00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,079 recognize or acknowledge to everyone 1354 00:59:42,079 --> 00:59:44,480 involved that the regional council 1355 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:47,200 identifies this as a priority project 1356 00:59:47,200 --> 00:59:49,200 that facilitates when that project 1357 00:59:49,200 --> 00:59:51,119 sponsor now then goes after other 1358 00:59:51,119 --> 00:59:53,680 funding. They can use our funds for a 1359 00:59:53,680 --> 00:59:56,480 match towards other funds and then they 1360 00:59:56,480 --> 00:59:58,559 can go after other money. We also leave 1361 00:59:58,559 --> 01:00:00,400 the door open so that they can come back 1362 01:00:00,400 --> 01:00:03,520 and ask more from our money too. But we 1363 01:00:03,520 --> 01:00:05,920 want to try to spread those funds out 1364 01:00:05,920 --> 01:00:08,720 and utilize the best resource we can to 1365 01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:12,480 work together to accomplish a priority. 1366 01:00:12,480 --> 01:00:14,720 And so then the next project here, the 1367 01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:17,040 last one in the Ogden Leighton area is 1368 01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:19,200 for the Davis Salt Lake Connector. And 1369 01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:22,480 this is for operations. And as you may 1370 01:00:22,480 --> 01:00:24,640 remember, this goes from Farmington City 1371 01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:26,799 all the way up through the U to research 1372 01:00:26,799 --> 01:00:30,400 park. Estimated cost is 18 plus million. 1373 01:00:30,400 --> 01:00:32,880 Funds being requested were 5 million. 1374 01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:35,599 The TA committee recommended $2 million 1375 01:00:35,599 --> 01:00:37,920 for this project. Now we move into the 1376 01:00:37,920 --> 01:00:40,160 Salt Lake area. The first project and 1377 01:00:40,160 --> 01:00:42,960 that's Oh, 1378 01:00:42,960 --> 01:00:45,599 yes, please. M 1379 01:00:45,599 --> 01:00:47,920 if they are awarded say the 2 million, 1380 01:00:47,920 --> 01:00:50,480 it's a $20 million project. How long do 1381 01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:53,280 they have to use that before they can 1382 01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:54,880 how long can they hold on to that as 1383 01:00:54,880 --> 01:00:59,200 they collect other funds until we say 1384 01:00:59,200 --> 01:01:01,359 it's taken too long and we move that on 1385 01:01:01,359 --> 01:01:02,720 to a different project? 1386 01:01:02,720 --> 01:01:05,200 >> Mayor, that's an excellent question. So, 1387 01:01:05,200 --> 01:01:07,599 in the CMAC funds and the STB funds, 1388 01:01:07,599 --> 01:01:09,520 we're actually programming these funds 1389 01:01:09,520 --> 01:01:12,559 for 2032. So, right out of the gate, 1390 01:01:12,559 --> 01:01:15,839 we've got six years for that. But we 1391 01:01:15,839 --> 01:01:18,079 also control how fast those funds move 1392 01:01:18,079 --> 01:01:20,960 forward. If we see that the city is 1393 01:01:20,960 --> 01:01:23,599 working hard, trying to do things, we 1394 01:01:23,599 --> 01:01:25,520 can just keep bumping those funds back 1395 01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:27,440 and just letting other projects go 1396 01:01:27,440 --> 01:01:30,720 around them until we get enough funds. 1397 01:01:30,720 --> 01:01:34,400 And so sometimes on some projects it the 1398 01:01:34,400 --> 01:01:36,960 momentum builds fast and other times it 1399 01:01:36,960 --> 01:01:38,960 takes a little longer for things to get 1400 01:01:38,960 --> 01:01:41,280 going and then they happen. Case in 1401 01:01:41,280 --> 01:01:43,359 point is the MVX that we just talked 1402 01:01:43,359 --> 01:01:46,000 about today. 20 years on the program. 1403 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:47,760 The first funding for that came 1404 01:01:47,760 --> 01:01:53,040 available in 2020 or 2019. 1405 01:01:53,040 --> 01:01:56,160 Um sometime it was so it's been a number 1406 01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:58,319 of years that we've all been working to 1407 01:01:58,319 --> 01:02:00,400 try to make this project happen. Mayor 1408 01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:02,000 Burton, just one thing though that I've 1409 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,520 noticed is is while that's all good and 1410 01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,200 true and it's awesome that they'll hold 1411 01:02:07,200 --> 01:02:10,160 those money those monies the what we've 1412 01:02:10,160 --> 01:02:13,440 experienced is oft times the project 1413 01:02:13,440 --> 01:02:16,799 cost the total project cost continues to 1414 01:02:16,799 --> 01:02:19,599 accelerate faster than we're ability our 1415 01:02:19,599 --> 01:02:21,760 ability to raise those monies. So there 1416 01:02:21,760 --> 01:02:25,280 is an expeditious or or hurry up and get 1417 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,400 it done component to that. We've also 1418 01:02:28,400 --> 01:02:32,799 seen in our area sometimes when this 1419 01:02:32,799 --> 01:02:35,520 would be for 2032 if you're ahead of 1420 01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:37,599 schedule sometimes they can be bumped 1421 01:02:37,599 --> 01:02:39,280 up. So maybe you can get it instead of 1422 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,400 2032 you might get it for 2030 or 2031 1423 01:02:42,400 --> 01:02:44,079 because because others have done that 1424 01:02:44,079 --> 01:02:46,000 and they kind of shift things around. So 1425 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,559 just a couple of things we've noticed up 1426 01:02:48,559 --> 01:02:50,000 our way. 1427 01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:51,280 >> Thank you Mr. Chair. because I find 1428 01:02:51,280 --> 01:02:53,040 that's real important. In our city, we 1429 01:02:53,040 --> 01:02:55,680 have this the same issues and sometimes 1430 01:02:55,680 --> 01:02:58,000 we do a project like we're on 13th West, 1431 01:02:58,000 --> 01:02:59,920 which has been in the works for similar 1432 01:02:59,920 --> 01:03:02,960 to this UTA project for like 20 years. 1433 01:03:02,960 --> 01:03:05,520 And if we had lost those funds that were 1434 01:03:05,520 --> 01:03:07,440 there originally, then we'd be in 1435 01:03:07,440 --> 01:03:09,760 trouble today, but we saved those and 1436 01:03:09,760 --> 01:03:11,280 added them up over the years. So that's 1437 01:03:11,280 --> 01:03:13,040 why I asked the questions if they ever 1438 01:03:13,040 --> 01:03:15,359 dissolved and go away or if they stay 1439 01:03:15,359 --> 01:03:16,559 there. It's all because you see the 1440 01:03:16,559 --> 01:03:20,480 project is is gathering momentum. Ben, 1441 01:03:20,480 --> 01:03:23,200 let me add on to that. In part, what 1442 01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:25,920 Mayor Burton is is getting at is 1443 01:03:25,920 --> 01:03:27,200 depending on the funding source, and 1444 01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:29,359 these are federal funds that we're 1445 01:03:29,359 --> 01:03:34,480 awarding here, um, federal funds, you can't just hold on to them 1446 01:03:34,480 --> 01:03:36,640 indefinitely. They there are actual 1447 01:03:36,640 --> 01:03:38,240 federal requirements for when they're 1448 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:44,240 spent, but that's not exactly what's at play here. We receive an 1449 01:03:44,240 --> 01:03:47,359 allocation of federal funds every year 1450 01:03:47,359 --> 01:03:51,119 and we WFRC working with our partners do 1451 01:03:51,119 --> 01:03:54,720 an excellent job, Ben, Wayne and team do 1452 01:03:54,720 --> 01:03:58,480 an excellent job of of making sure that 1453 01:03:58,480 --> 01:04:00,160 those funds are put to use that are 1454 01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:02,319 spent. We have a better track record in 1455 01:04:02,319 --> 01:04:04,000 Utah than just about any other state in 1456 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:06,400 the nation of making sure that we're not 1457 01:04:06,400 --> 01:04:09,359 giving any funds back. We're dynamically 1458 01:04:09,359 --> 01:04:13,119 managing the program. WFRC working with 1459 01:04:13,119 --> 01:04:16,240 UD do collaborating with UTA 1460 01:04:16,240 --> 01:04:18,079 uh navigating with Salt Lake County and 1461 01:04:18,079 --> 01:04:19,599 the fundings that the funds that they 1462 01:04:19,599 --> 01:04:22,079 distribute and periodically adjusting 1463 01:04:22,079 --> 01:04:24,400 the funding sources for various various 1464 01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:26,880 projects to make sure that they're used. 1465 01:04:26,880 --> 01:04:29,760 What this plan the TIP the 1466 01:04:29,760 --> 01:04:31,200 transportation improvement program does 1467 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:34,319 these awards are for outy years. It's we 1468 01:04:34,319 --> 01:04:36,799 so when that project is ready to go then 1469 01:04:36,799 --> 01:04:39,039 we'll be able to apply real funds to it. 1470 01:04:39,039 --> 01:04:40,799 So the fact that it's out a few years 1471 01:04:40,799 --> 01:04:42,160 doesn't mean that the funds are in 1472 01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:45,039 jeopardy. The real requirements come 1473 01:04:45,039 --> 01:04:47,760 under federal law and regulation which 1474 01:04:47,760 --> 01:04:50,319 kind of a separate management process 1475 01:04:50,319 --> 01:04:52,319 that we're that we mind very very 1476 01:04:52,319 --> 01:04:54,640 carefully to make sure that uh funds are 1477 01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:57,680 not lost and we we work with all of the 1478 01:04:57,680 --> 01:04:59,280 communities to make sure that when the 1479 01:04:59,280 --> 01:05:01,599 project is ready when you're ready then 1480 01:05:01,599 --> 01:05:03,280 the funds are actually available for 1481 01:05:03,280 --> 01:05:05,280 you. 1482 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:08,480 >> Thank you Andrew. Thank you mayor. Um, 1483 01:05:08,480 --> 01:05:10,400 and it just occurred to me too, I 1484 01:05:10,400 --> 01:05:12,799 recognized uh this side of our short 1485 01:05:12,799 --> 01:05:15,039 range plan staff. I didn't recognize 1486 01:05:15,039 --> 01:05:17,760 Rosie or Jordan. Both of them are 1487 01:05:17,760 --> 01:05:20,160 significant. Rosie helps us on the field 1488 01:05:20,160 --> 01:05:22,319 review planning and scheduling, as well 1489 01:05:22,319 --> 01:05:24,640 as she's in a different team, but we 1490 01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:26,480 claim her as part of the short range. 1491 01:05:26,480 --> 01:05:28,640 And then Jordan administers all our tech 1492 01:05:28,640 --> 01:05:30,319 committees, too. So, you'll hear a lot 1493 01:05:30,319 --> 01:05:32,720 from them. They really are driving the 1494 01:05:32,720 --> 01:05:34,880 show. The rest of us are just in the 1495 01:05:34,880 --> 01:05:38,640 wagon. So, as we move forward here on 1496 01:05:38,640 --> 01:05:41,039 this particular project in uh is the 1497 01:05:41,039 --> 01:05:43,200 first one in South Salt Lake on 300 1498 01:05:43,200 --> 01:05:45,520 West. This is for a bike and ped 1499 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,720 facility between 2100 South to Haven 1500 01:05:48,720 --> 01:05:50,799 Avenue. Little more than a quarter mile 1501 01:05:50,799 --> 01:05:53,359 in length. Project estimated cost 1.2 1502 01:05:53,359 --> 01:05:55,599 plus million. Funds being requested are 1503 01:05:55,599 --> 01:05:58,400 1.1 plus million and the TAC recommended 1504 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,880 the full requested amount. The next 1505 01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,520 project is a request from UTA. This is 1506 01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:07,119 for operating cost on the 5600 West 1507 01:06:07,119 --> 01:06:10,400 which is um the hub from the old Bingham 1508 01:06:10,400 --> 01:06:14,640 Highway up to now into town. Um the 1509 01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,480 estimated operating costs on that 1510 01:06:16,480 --> 01:06:19,520 project is sorry I cut that off there 1511 01:06:19,520 --> 01:06:22,160 but it's 7 plus million. Funds being 1512 01:06:22,160 --> 01:06:26,960 requested are uh 4.5 million 1513 01:06:26,960 --> 01:06:28,720 and the attack recommended the $2 1514 01:06:28,720 --> 01:06:31,839 million for the operating cost. The next 1515 01:06:31,839 --> 01:06:33,920 project here is an intersection project 1516 01:06:33,920 --> 01:06:36,079 in Salt Lake City. This on Chapeta Way 1517 01:06:36,079 --> 01:06:38,799 and Wakara Way. This is to take a 1518 01:06:38,799 --> 01:06:40,960 four-legged intersection and and 1519 01:06:40,960 --> 01:06:43,200 construct a roundabout. Estimated 1520 01:06:43,200 --> 01:06:46,079 project cost is 1.5 plus million. Funds 1521 01:06:46,079 --> 01:06:49,440 being requested are 1.4 plus million and 1522 01:06:49,440 --> 01:06:51,599 the funds that were recommended was the 1523 01:06:51,599 --> 01:06:54,000 amount requested by the city on the 1524 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,680 project. The next project is a a project 1525 01:06:57,680 --> 01:07:00,960 in Sandy City. This is on 1210 East in 1526 01:07:00,960 --> 01:07:03,920 SR 209. It's an interesting project, one 1527 01:07:03,920 --> 01:07:06,480 that changed dynamics in the field view. 1528 01:07:06,480 --> 01:07:08,720 Initially, the project was requesting a 1529 01:07:08,720 --> 01:07:13,280 hawk or a pedestrian hybrid beacon 1530 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,319 at this crossing here of 90th South. 1531 01:07:16,319 --> 01:07:19,760 This is 90th 94th South there at about 1532 01:07:19,760 --> 01:07:22,400 12 East. Uh the amphitheater there to 1533 01:07:22,400 --> 01:07:25,440 the north and the overflow parking 1534 01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:27,119 across the street there below the 1535 01:07:27,119 --> 01:07:28,799 hospital. 1536 01:07:28,799 --> 01:07:30,720 When we were out there and about, it was 1537 01:07:30,720 --> 01:07:32,079 identified by the Department of 1538 01:07:32,079 --> 01:07:33,760 Transportation. We're way too close to 1539 01:07:33,760 --> 01:07:36,559 the signal for a a ped crossing signal. 1540 01:07:36,559 --> 01:07:39,839 We can't do that. And so that's why the 1541 01:07:39,839 --> 01:07:41,760 description talks about a a hawk 1542 01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:44,880 pedestrian signal. But working with the 1543 01:07:44,880 --> 01:07:46,559 department, they identified that we 1544 01:07:46,559 --> 01:07:49,520 would need some form of separated 1545 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:52,160 facility. So, in a real quick military 1546 01:07:52,160 --> 01:07:54,559 in the field type of action, we 1547 01:07:54,559 --> 01:07:57,599 identified that an underpass would be 1548 01:07:57,599 --> 01:08:00,400 less expensive than an overpass. An 1549 01:08:00,400 --> 01:08:03,680 underpass would cost about $5.5 million. 1550 01:08:03,680 --> 01:08:06,640 So, the request was for $4 million and 1551 01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:09,760 the TAC recommended $2 million towards 1552 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:12,160 that underpass. 1553 01:08:12,160 --> 01:08:14,160 The next project is in Bluffale. That's 1554 01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:17,759 on 146 South. Um, this is between 1555 01:08:17,759 --> 01:08:21,279 Springway Parkway to 13th West. About a 1556 01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:23,600 third of a mile. It's the the yellow 1557 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:27,040 line there. Estimated project cost is a 1558 01:08:27,040 --> 01:08:29,520 little more than $4 million. Funds being 1559 01:08:29,520 --> 01:08:32,159 requested is $1.5 1560 01:08:32,159 --> 01:08:35,120 million and the TAC recommended the full 1561 01:08:35,120 --> 01:08:39,199 requested amount of 1.5. 1562 01:08:39,199 --> 01:08:41,359 The last project in the Salt Lake area 1563 01:08:41,359 --> 01:08:43,440 is a request from South Jordan. This is 1564 01:08:43,440 --> 01:08:45,920 on Shields Lane. This is phase two. 1565 01:08:45,920 --> 01:08:47,839 Phase one was reviewed and recommended 1566 01:08:47,839 --> 01:08:50,799 last year. This goes between 3200 west 1567 01:08:50,799 --> 01:08:53,440 and 2700 west. Little about a half mile 1568 01:08:53,440 --> 01:08:57,040 in length. Estimated project cost 5.6 1569 01:08:57,040 --> 01:08:58,960 plus million.

So, we're going through 1675 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,000 those projects starting in the Ogden 1676 01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:42,719 Lake urban area. First project is in 1677 01:13:42,719 --> 01:13:45,679 Ogden. This is on SR39. This is for a 1678 01:13:45,679 --> 01:13:48,000 shared use path. This is phase two. 1679 01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:50,159 Phase one is to the west of this yellow 1680 01:13:50,159 --> 01:13:52,320 circle. This is from Mountain Road to 1681 01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:55,280 Whisper Word Development. This area has 1682 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:58,080 no sidewalks. Those people from anyone 1683 01:13:58,080 --> 01:14:00,320 that lives north of this road are 1684 01:14:00,320 --> 01:14:02,080 required to come down and walk on the 1685 01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:04,480 shoulder of SR39. 1686 01:14:04,480 --> 01:14:07,920 Uh the estimated project cost is 523,000 1687 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,679 plus.

Funds re requested are a little 1697 01:14:35,199 --> 01:14:37,360 more than 700,000 1698 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,760 plus and the TAC recommended the 1699 01:14:39,760 --> 01:14:45,040 requested uh amount of 790,000 plus. 1700 01:14:45,040 --> 01:14:47,199 The next project, the last one in the 1701 01:14:47,199 --> 01:14:50,159 Ogden Leighton area, is the green bike 1702 01:14:50,159 --> 01:14:52,560 program in the Ogden Leighton area. Only 1703 01:14:52,560 --> 01:14:54,000 this one's a little different. 1704 01:14:54,000 --> 01:14:55,600 Currently, right now, they use a 1705 01:14:55,600 --> 01:14:57,920 rickshaw type to balance their vehicles, 1706 01:14:57,920 --> 01:15:00,560 which means that they ride with a bike 1707 01:15:00,560 --> 01:15:03,040 with the trailer, grab the extra bikes, 1708 01:15:03,040 --> 01:15:05,280 and ride to another station and drop off 1709 01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:07,440 the bikes and move the bikes around 1710 01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:09,760 because they need to get that 1711 01:15:09,760 --> 01:15:11,679 distribution out so that the bikes can 1712 01:15:11,679 --> 01:15:14,000 get used so that no station is sent 1713 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:16,880 empty. So, to really expand that program 1714 01:15:16,880 --> 01:15:18,719 is limited because of the poor guy 1715 01:15:18,719 --> 01:15:20,320 driving around on a bike pulling a 1716 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:22,800 trailer to deliver the bikes. The intent 1717 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:25,360 of this request is to purchase an 1718 01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:28,719 electric van that they can use as a 1719 01:15:28,719 --> 01:15:32,719 mobility or the the mobile distribution 1720 01:15:32,719 --> 01:15:36,000 vehicle as well as haul equipment uh 1721 01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:39,760 that may be necessary to repair or to uh 1722 01:15:39,760 --> 01:15:42,880 keep things going. Um the project 1723 01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:45,600 estimated cost is 100,000. Funds being 1724 01:15:45,600 --> 01:15:48,719 requested is 93,000. TAC recommended 1725 01:15:48,719 --> 01:15:51,440 that amount. The next project is a 1726 01:15:51,440 --> 01:15:53,440 project in Midville. This is on the 1727 01:15:53,440 --> 01:15:55,679 Bingham Junction Boulevard. This is for 1728 01:15:55,679 --> 01:15:59,440 bike pad improvements between 7087 South 1729 01:15:59,440 --> 01:16:01,440 to Center Street almost a mile in 1730 01:16:01,440 --> 01:16:04,400 length. Estimated project cost is 500 1731 01:16:04,400 --> 01:16:07,040 plus thousand. Funds being requested are 1732 01:16:07,040 --> 01:16:08,800 404,000 1733 01:16:08,800 --> 01:16:12,640 plus and the TAC recommended 400,000 for 1734 01:16:12,640 --> 01:16:14,800 this project. 1735 01:16:14,800 --> 01:16:17,040 The next project is a project in South 1736 01:16:17,040 --> 01:16:18,960 Jordan. It's on the Shields Lane. This 1737 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,760 is phase two of this project 1738 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:25,440 and the request is for 5.2 plus million 1739 01:16:25,440 --> 01:16:27,280 and the TAC recommended a million 1740 01:16:27,280 --> 01:16:30,239 dollars from this program to complete 1741 01:16:30,239 --> 01:16:34,239 the Shields Lane project. 1742 01:16:34,239 --> 01:16:36,400 The next project is in Midwell. This on 1743 01:16:36,400 --> 01:16:38,480 the Jordan River Bridge. This is a bike 1744 01:16:38,480 --> 01:16:42,000 pad improvement. Um they're at about 67 1745 01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:43,920 South on the east side of the river and 1746 01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,320 then 67 South on the west side of the 1747 01:16:46,320 --> 01:16:48,320 river. There you can see where the 1748 01:16:48,320 --> 01:16:50,480 parks, where the trail, it all ends at 1749 01:16:50,480 --> 01:16:53,360 the river. And so the idea is to 1750 01:16:53,360 --> 01:16:55,520 construct a bridge there. The project 1751 01:16:55,520 --> 01:16:58,560 estimated cost 1.3 million. Funds being 1752 01:16:58,560 --> 01:17:01,199 requested are 1.2 plus million.

Now, 1777 01:17:50,719 --> 01:17:52,159 we'll talk to Ben about projects 1778 01:17:52,159 --> 01:17:53,920 recommended to be added to the 2027 1779 01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:56,000 through 2032 surface transportation 1780 01:17:56,000 --> 01:17:58,800 program. Ben, thank you, Mr. Chair. So, 1781 01:17:58,800 --> 01:18:01,040 in this program, we had seven projects 1782 01:18:01,040 --> 01:18:03,040 in the Ogden Lake area that are being 1783 01:18:03,040 --> 01:18:06,159 recommending totaling more than $17.8 1784 01:18:06,159 --> 01:18:09,280 million. In the Salt Lake urban area, we 1785 01:18:09,280 --> 01:18:11,360 have 11 projects being recommended 1786 01:18:11,360 --> 01:18:14,800 totaling almost $25 million. We'll go 1787 01:18:14,800 --> 01:18:17,520 through those projects here 1788 01:18:17,520 --> 01:18:19,920 in a timely manner. The first request 1789 01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:22,159 here is in from Clinton City. This on 1790 01:18:22,159 --> 01:18:24,880 2300 North. This is phase two. This is 1791 01:18:24,880 --> 01:18:27,520 for reconstructing a narrow two-lane 1792 01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:30,080 facility with minor widening to create a 1793 01:18:30,080 --> 01:18:32,880 uniform crosssection with travel lanes, 1794 01:18:32,880 --> 01:18:35,040 shoulders, curb gutter, and sidewalk. 1795 01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:37,600 It's the blue line there on the picture. 1796 01:18:37,600 --> 01:18:39,920 The project estimated cost is $8 1797 01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:42,800 million. Funds being requested are $2.5 1798 01:18:42,800 --> 01:18:45,440 million. The tax recommended the full 1799 01:18:45,440 --> 01:18:48,400 requested amount of 2.5. The next 1800 01:18:48,400 --> 01:18:50,560 project is a project in Centerville 1801 01:18:50,560 --> 01:18:52,719 City. This some Parish Lane. This is to 1802 01:18:52,719 --> 01:18:55,120 reconstruct Parish Lane between Main 1803 01:18:55,120 --> 01:18:59,199 Street or SR 106 to 400 East. Uh about 1804 01:18:59,199 --> 01:19:01,760 3/4 or a third of a mile in length. 1805 01:19:01,760 --> 01:19:05,040 Estimated project cost 1.7 plus million. 1806 01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:08,239 Funds being requested are 1.25 million 1807 01:19:08,239 --> 01:19:10,000 and the TAC recommended the full 1808 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,199 requested amount of 1.25. 1809 01:19:13,199 --> 01:19:15,440 The next project is a project in West 1810 01:19:15,440 --> 01:19:18,320 Point. This is on 3500 West. This is 1811 01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:21,120 also to reconstruct with minor widening 1812 01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,760 to take a narrow two-lane facility, 1813 01:19:23,760 --> 01:19:26,000 widen it to a three-lane crosssection 1814 01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:27,520 with shoulder, curb gunner, and 1815 01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,239 sidewalk. This project is estimated to 1816 01:19:30,239 --> 01:19:32,800 cost 4.2 two plus million. Funds being 1817 01:19:32,800 --> 01:19:35,600 requested are 2.1 plus million and the 1818 01:19:35,600 --> 01:19:39,840 tag committee recommended 2.1 million. 1819 01:19:39,840 --> 01:19:44,080 The next project is a project in 1820 01:19:44,080 --> 01:19:46,159 this is a Utah West Point project. This 1821 01:19:46,159 --> 01:19:48,719 an intersection project that will be 1822 01:19:48,719 --> 01:19:52,640 greatly impacted as SR u well as the 1823 01:19:52,640 --> 01:19:55,440 west Davis highway is extended here 1824 01:19:55,440 --> 01:20:00,080 going towards 1800 north from 193. This 1825 01:20:00,080 --> 01:20:02,800 intersection here at 1800 north and 4500 1826 01:20:02,800 --> 01:20:06,560 west um is a is an important 1827 01:20:06,560 --> 01:20:08,719 intersection to where everyone coming 1828 01:20:08,719 --> 01:20:11,280 off the new Mountain View corridor will 1829 01:20:11,280 --> 01:20:14,239 drop down to this road and and dead end 1830 01:20:14,239 --> 01:20:16,400 essentially because of the bottleneck. 1831 01:20:16,400 --> 01:20:20,159 Um it's an offset intersection. Um West 1832 01:20:20,159 --> 01:20:22,080 Point is the first one to come after for 1833 01:20:22,080 --> 01:20:24,960 funding on this. Then UD do stepped in. 1834 01:20:24,960 --> 01:20:27,679 The initial request was for $3 million, 1835 01:20:27,679 --> 01:20:29,600 but UDOT stepped in and says, you know, 1836 01:20:29,600 --> 01:20:32,880 if we can get $1.5 million for this 1837 01:20:32,880 --> 01:20:35,360 project, we will come and we will 1838 01:20:35,360 --> 01:20:36,800 address the other legs of the 1839 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:39,360 intersection. We've got currently just 1840 01:20:39,360 --> 01:20:40,960 about a million dollars already 1841 01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:43,280 programmed here. So that million plus 1842 01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:44,960 1.5 1843 01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:46,880 will bring it up to where UDOT will come 1844 01:20:46,880 --> 01:20:48,640 in and address three legs of the 1845 01:20:48,640 --> 01:20:52,080 intersection with other funding. So this 1846 01:20:52,080 --> 01:20:53,840 is one of them synergy types of 1847 01:20:53,840 --> 01:20:57,760 projects. Um the other project we are 1848 01:20:57,760 --> 01:20:59,600 the next one is in Leighton. It's on the 1849 01:20:59,600 --> 01:21:02,719 Leighton Parkway Extension between 3200 1850 01:21:02,719 --> 01:21:05,600 West to 3,700 West half mile in length 1851 01:21:05,600 --> 01:21:08,159 of new construction. Estimated project 1852 01:21:08,159 --> 01:21:10,640 cost 4.8 plus million. Funds being 1853 01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,480 requested are 3.8 plus million and the 1854 01:21:14,480 --> 01:21:17,440 TAC recommended that we program 2.5 1855 01:21:17,440 --> 01:21:19,920 million for this project. The next 1856 01:21:19,920 --> 01:21:22,159 project is a project in Ogden. This on 1857 01:21:22,159 --> 01:21:24,159 Second Street. This is phase two to the 1858 01:21:24,159 --> 01:21:26,480 improvements on Second Street which go 1859 01:21:26,480 --> 01:21:30,000 east of uh Washington Boulevard. This 1860 01:21:30,000 --> 01:21:32,239 project will widen with a uniform 1861 01:21:32,239 --> 01:21:34,239 crosssection, improved curb, gutter, and 1862 01:21:34,239 --> 01:21:36,480 sidewalk on this project. Estimated cost 1863 01:21:36,480 --> 01:21:39,679 is 8.7 plus million. Funds being 1864 01:21:39,679 --> 01:21:42,719 requested are 5.3 plus million. And the 1865 01:21:42,719 --> 01:21:44,719 TAC recommended that we program $4 1866 01:21:44,719 --> 01:21:48,400 million for this project. 1867 01:21:48,400 --> 01:21:50,560 The next project is a request from Far 1868 01:21:50,560 --> 01:21:53,520 West City.

This is on Wakara Way. This 1889 01:22:52,159 --> 01:22:54,480 is to reconstruct Wakara Way. This road 1890 01:22:54,480 --> 01:22:56,960 is long lived its life. This will 1891 01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:59,360 improve it from Foothill Drive up to 1892 01:22:59,360 --> 01:23:04,080 Upper Drive. Um it's estimated cost 5.4 1893 01:23:04,080 --> 01:23:06,239 plus million. funds being requested are 1894 01:23:06,239 --> 01:23:09,360 a little more than $5 million and the 1895 01:23:09,360 --> 01:23:11,360 TAC recommended that we program $3 1896 01:23:11,360 --> 01:23:13,440 million on this project. 1897 01:23:13,440 --> 01:23:16,000 >> Ben, is this the same car away where the 1898 01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:17,760 roundabout you talked about earlier? 1899 01:23:17,760 --> 01:23:19,840 >> It is only the roundabout is a little 1900 01:23:19,840 --> 01:23:21,040 further east. 1901 01:23:21,040 --> 01:23:23,760 >> Thank you. 1902 01:23:23,760 --> 01:23:26,320 >> The next project is a request from 1903 01:23:26,320 --> 01:23:28,800 Holiday City. This is on Highland Drive. 1904 01:23:28,800 --> 01:23:30,480 This is to reconstruct with minor 1905 01:23:30,480 --> 01:23:32,800 widening. This is a project that they're 1906 01:23:32,800 --> 01:23:34,960 phasing. They've divided it into pieces. 1907 01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,520 They're going after multiple sources. Uh 1908 01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,440 this body's recommended funding in the 1909 01:23:39,440 --> 01:23:42,000 past for this project as well. This 1910 01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:44,960 phase is estimated to cost $6.4 plus 1911 01:23:44,960 --> 01:23:48,239 million. Uh they're requesting $5.8 1912 01:23:48,239 --> 01:23:50,320 million and the tax committee 1913 01:23:50,320 --> 01:23:52,719 recommended that we program $3 million 1914 01:23:52,719 --> 01:23:55,199 on this project. 1915 01:23:55,199 --> 01:23:58,159 The next project is a project in Mil 1916 01:23:58,159 --> 01:24:00,480 Creek. This is also on Highland Drive. 1917 01:24:00,480 --> 01:24:06,000 This is to reconstruct and address the width of this facility here giving 1918 01:24:06,000 --> 01:24:08,719 us a uniform cross-section. Estimated 1919 01:24:08,719 --> 01:24:12,000 project cost is 7.8 plus million. Funds 1920 01:24:12,000 --> 01:24:15,120 being requested are 7.2 plus million and 1921 01:24:15,120 --> 01:24:17,600 attack recommended $3 million for this 1922 01:24:17,600 --> 01:24:20,239 project. 1923 01:24:20,239 --> 01:24:22,960 The next project is a request from Sandy 1924 01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:26,000 City.

You can just imagine 1927 01:24:30,400 --> 01:24:32,800 at night when that amphitheater wraps up 1928 01:24:32,800 --> 01:24:34,480 and all of those people are coming 1929 01:24:34,480 --> 01:24:37,120 across the street with no crossing. 1930 01:24:37,120 --> 01:24:39,520 They're just dodging cars as they move 1931 01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:42,080 forward. We have not had a safety 1932 01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:44,239 concern here. So, it's been a real 1933 01:24:44,239 --> 01:24:47,360 blessing, but we've got a safety concern 1934 01:24:47,360 --> 01:24:50,239 that we got to address. This project, as 1935 01:24:50,239 --> 01:24:51,840 we earlier talked about, is being 1936 01:24:51,840 --> 01:24:54,400 recommended that we build an underpass. 1937 01:24:54,400 --> 01:24:57,679 Project estimated cost $5.4 $4 million 1938 01:24:57,679 --> 01:25:00,159 funds being requested or 4 million and 1939 01:25:00,159 --> 01:25:02,880 the TAC recommended that we program 1.5 1940 01:25:02,880 --> 01:25:05,920 here giving us a total of $3 million 1941 01:25:05,920 --> 01:25:08,480 programmed on this project. 1942 01:25:08,480 --> 01:25:10,800 The next project is a project in West 1943 01:25:10,800 --> 01:25:12,639 Valley. This is a project that they've 1944 01:25:12,639 --> 01:25:14,239 been working on for a number of years 1945 01:25:14,239 --> 01:25:17,920 with Magna between 4100 South and 3500 1946 01:25:17,920 --> 01:25:19,840 South. They've also divided this into 1947 01:25:19,840 --> 01:25:24,000 segments. This addresses the 1948 01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,480 pavement reconstruction with uniform 1949 01:25:26,480 --> 01:25:28,159 cross-section with completing the 1950 01:25:28,159 --> 01:25:29,840 sidewalks, curb, and gutter on both 1951 01:25:29,840 --> 01:25:32,800 sides and improving that existing curb, 1952 01:25:32,800 --> 01:25:35,360 gutter, and sidewalk. This particular 1953 01:25:35,360 --> 01:25:38,880 project is $23 plus million. 1954 01:25:38,880 --> 01:25:42,880 They are requesting $7.7 plus million to 1955 01:25:42,880 --> 01:25:45,040 complete this project in discussion with 1956 01:25:45,040 --> 01:25:47,520 the project sponsor and with the ability 1957 01:25:47,520 --> 01:25:50,719 to move those project funds forward. TAC 1958 01:25:50,719 --> 01:25:52,880 recommended $3 million so that this 1959 01:25:52,880 --> 01:25:55,840 project can move forward 1960 01:25:55,840 --> 01:25:58,000 with the understanding that they should 1961 01:25:58,000 --> 01:26:00,480 have enough. 1962 01:26:00,480 --> 01:26:02,800 The next request is from Draper. This on 1963 01:26:02,800 --> 01:26:04,880 Fort Street. This is to reconstruct with 1964 01:26:04,880 --> 01:26:07,040 minor widening. This is one facility 1965 01:26:07,040 --> 01:26:09,040 that they may need to shrink because of 1966 01:26:09,040 --> 01:26:12,239 the the width in some areas between 132 1967 01:26:12,239 --> 01:26:15,840 south and 138 south. Um almost a mile in 1968 01:26:15,840 --> 01:26:19,360 length. Estimated project cost 11.5 plus 1969 01:26:19,360 --> 01:26:22,000 million.

This on 6400 South. Murray City 1974 01:26:34,080 --> 01:26:36,560 has done a diligent job on working at 1975 01:26:36,560 --> 01:26:39,120 one road at a time over multiple years 1976 01:26:39,120 --> 01:26:42,000 requesting the funds. This is to seed 1977 01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,239 this project with funds. Estimated 1978 01:26:44,239 --> 01:26:47,360 project cost 10.5 plus million. Funds 1979 01:26:47,360 --> 01:26:49,280 being requested are 9.8 eight plus 1980 01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,920 million. The TAC recommended we program 1981 01:26:51,920 --> 01:26:56,159 $3 million on this project. 1982 01:26:56,159 --> 01:26:58,159 The next project is a request from UD 1983 01:26:58,159 --> 01:27:02,320 do. This is on 7200 South. As you the 1984 01:27:02,320 --> 01:27:04,639 northbound lanes, as you go online, 1985 01:27:04,639 --> 01:27:07,120 you've got as you go on to I-15, you've 1986 01:27:07,120 --> 01:27:09,199 got a blind corner. As you come around, 1987 01:27:09,199 --> 01:27:12,080 you've got a merging lane that you have 1988 01:27:12,080 --> 01:27:14,480 a lot of accidents because this ramp is 1989 01:27:14,480 --> 01:27:17,120 so narrow. The idea, the intent is to 1990 01:27:17,120 --> 01:27:19,280 widen this facility so that it 1991 01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,760 eliminates that merge. The estimated 1992 01:27:21,760 --> 01:27:24,719 project cost is 7.3 plus million. Funds 1993 01:27:24,719 --> 01:27:27,040 being requested are 2 million. TAC 1994 01:27:27,040 --> 01:27:30,080 recommended that we program $2 million 1995 01:27:30,080 --> 01:27:33,120 for this project. 1996 01:27:33,120 --> 01:27:35,199 The next project is a project in 1997 01:27:35,199 --> 01:27:39,120 Haramman.

This is a very large 2000 01:27:42,800 --> 01:27:45,040 intersection, but there's some big 2001 01:27:45,040 --> 01:27:47,360 unknowns on this because this is in the 2002 01:27:47,360 --> 01:27:50,480 same area where in not too long in the 2003 01:27:50,480 --> 01:27:52,000 future, the Mountain View corridor is 2004 01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:54,719 going to be separated facility, whereas 2005 01:27:54,719 --> 01:27:57,760 now it this as you travel east goes into 2006 01:27:57,760 --> 01:28:00,480 an intersection. Their intent is to 2007 01:28:00,480 --> 01:28:02,560 improve the intersection because of 2008 01:28:02,560 --> 01:28:06,480 backup that goes um to the west and and 2009 01:28:06,480 --> 01:28:09,120 to the south.

The TAC 2012 01:28:15,120 --> 01:28:16,960 recommended we put a million dollars on 2013 01:28:16,960 --> 01:28:18,639 this project till we see what happens 2014 01:28:18,639 --> 01:28:20,159 with Mountain View and then we can 2015 01:28:20,159 --> 01:28:21,920 address what improvements need to be 2016 01:28:21,920 --> 01:28:24,800 made and know.
