Metropolitan Planning Organization Policy Committee Meeting (MPO), 06/21/2023
A
C
D
A
For
a
second,
we
have
a
motion
in
a
second
any
further
discussion,
no
amendments.
Anybody
opposed
to
approving
the
minutes.
None
hurt
miniature
passed,
Item
B
is
receive
public
testimony
and
initiated
10-day
public
review
and
comment
period
for
the
proposed
amendments
for
the
2023-2026
transportation
Improvement
program.
B
Yes,
thank
you,
commissioner
ghetto.
There
are
some
tip
amendments
and
MTP
amendments
that
are
being
requested
in
Texas.
One
of
them
includes
the
changes
to
the
achar
with
ginger
project
to
include
the
funding
amounts
that
have
been
allocated
by
this
committee
at
a
previous
meeting.
I'll
go
ahead
and
just
right.
B
B
Please
go
ahead.
Federal
Law
requires
that
mpos,
in
cooperation
with
the
state
and
affected
mass
transit
operators,
developed
a
transportation
Improvement
program
for
the
planning
areas
for
a
four-year
period.
Also,
all
the
tip
documents
are
subsequently
combined
to
form
the
Statewide
Transportation
Improvement
program,
known
as
a
step
takes
out
immense
step
on
a
quarterly
basis.
B
The
proposed
amendments,
the
first
one,
is
we're:
removing
the
csjs
for
the
projects
for
HR
ruizinger
and
combining
them
into
one
csj3843-0202
for
the
needed
location,
construction
of
a
four-lane
divided
highway,
and
this
is
because
it's
been
designated
as
State
Highway
84.,
the
Texas
Transportation
Commission.
So
it's
changes
need
to
be
made.
In
addition,
we'll
be
adding
the
funding
amounts
to
reflect
the
strategy
that
this
committee
and
Tech
stock
agreed
to.
B
Ucsj
is
38-40
what
is
cha?
That's
a
control
section
job
number:
that's
the
number
that
textile
uses
to
identify
projects
the
next
Amendment
and
it's
a
revision
of
project
csj001805-089
for
the
replacement
of
a
bridge
structure
at
Union,
Road
Rife.
The
purpose
of
this
amendment
is
to
revise
the
existing
funding
amounts.
Funding
amounts
will
be
adjusted
to
increase
category
12
funds
from
45
million
to
100
million
921
714.
So
this
is
to
cover
implementing
funding
gaps.
There's
additional
funding,
that's
being
programmed
through
the
UTP,
so
we're
making
these
changes.
B
The
other
one
for
the
Loma
project,
which
has
already
been
allocated
funding
through
the
mpo
policy
committee
versus
going
to
be
some
adjustments
with
some
other
funds
that
are
going
to
be
added.
The
purpose
of
the
amendment
is
to
revise
the
existing
funding
amounts
again.
Funding
amounts
would
be
adjusted
to
increase
Category
2
funds
from
23
million
209
713
to
34
million
five
hundred
and
thirty
five
thousand
thirty,
three
nothing's
changing
to
the
project,
11
data
or
anything
at
the
time.
Everything's.
Staying
the
same.
B
It's
just
the
additional
funding,
that's
being
added
to
the
project,
same
thing
with
the
direct
connector
number
three
and
six
Northbound
and
southbound
IH-35
to
us
59
eastbound.
So
the
amendment
is
to
revise
the
existing
funding
amounts.
Funding
amounts
will
be
adjusted
to
increase
category
12
funds
from
39
million
two
hundred
thousand
to
forty
one
million
five
hundred
five
thousand
three
hundred
and
thirty
four
dollars
and
that
category
funds
in
the
amount
of
13
million
and
one
dollar
revision
of
project
csj-0086-14077
for
the
construction
of
us-59
interchange
at
the
airport.
B
The
purpose
of
this
amendment
is
to
revise
the
existing
funding
amounts
and
project
lending
date
to
FY
2026
funding
amounts
will
be
adjusted
to
increase
category
12
funds
from
16
million
to
418
996
to
23
million
six
hundred
forty
thousand
four.
Ninety
seven
again,
this
is
The
Interchange
at
the
airport.
The
new
project
there'll
be
an
update
later
today
on
that,
but
still
on
time,
it's
just
changes
to
one
of
the
each
initial.
A
B
Purpose
of
the
amendment
is
to
revise
the
existing
funding
amounts
and
project
lending
date
to
FY
2026
funding
amounts
will
be
adjusted
to
increase
category
12
funds
from
29
million
two
hundred.
Ninety
thousand
six,
seventy
six
to
fifty
Seven
million
seven.
Ninety
seven,
six
seven
and
at
category
One
funds
in
the
amount
of
19
million
and
one
dollars
is
that.
B
B
B
D
B
B
B
G
A
B
A
A
A
A
We'll
come
back
in
July
we
can
wave
the
reading
and
again
anybody's
here
to
speak
for
or
against
Oregon
or
against
any
more
comments
in
the
pen.
Okay,
yeah
we'll
see
right.
You
receive
public
testimony,
initiate
a
20-day
public
review
and
comment
period
for
the
draft.
Fy
2024
unified
planning,
work
program,
upwp
20-day
here
talking
our
20
day
here.
Sorry,
we've
got
a
motion
in
a
second.
Anybody
opposed
motion
carries.
G
B
All
right,
please,
there's
not
going
to
present
the
what
we
have
on
the
upwp
all
right.
So
the
upwp
is
a
federally
required
work
program
describing
the
transportation
planning
programs
and
activities
to
be
performed
by
the
mpo
in
a
fiscal
year.
It
can
be
amended
at
any
time
of
need
as
needed
as
we
did
this
actually
last
year
with
the
River
Road
Project.
We
went
ahead
and
added
that
study.
It
outlines
the
mpo's
transportation
planning
activities
to
be
funded
by
Transportation
Planning
funds
known
as
tpf.
B
The
tasks
outline
may
require
more
than
one
year
to
complete
and
are
carried
over
from
one
upwp
to
the
next,
so
I'm
going
to
study
State
longer
for
different
reasons.
Sometimes
we
reevaluate
and
say
this
is
not
a
study.
We
need
and
we'll
come
back
and
you
know
maybe
do
another
study.
Our
mpo
public
participation
plan
requires
point,
a
public
review
and
common
period
for
the
upwp.
Once
it's
approved
by
the
policy
committee
at
the
June
meeting
at
the
July
meeting,
the
final,
then
we
submitted
to
TxDOT
and
Federal
Highway
Administration
for
approval
this
year.
B
That
upwp
document
is
due:
July
31st,
2023.
I'll.
Just
go
over
the
amounts,
so
we
have
under
subtask
1.1
planning
and
general
Administration,
which
covers
salaries
and
other
administrators
has
530
000
professional
development,
travel
and
training,
25
000
for
the
public
participation
Outreach
activities,
which
includes
bringing
the
opening
the
time
periods
workshops
that
we
have
we're
allocating
20
000
to
that
computer
equipment,
Furnishing
and
office
supplies
we're
allocating
fifteen
thousand.
Now
that
we're
fully
staffed,
you
know
we
got
all
the
furniture
equipment
that
we
needed.
So
there's
not
a
lot
that
we're
anticipating.
B
B
One,
the
building,
maintenance,
center
repairs,
yeah
we're
programming
just
an
amount,
and
last
year
we
had
our
AC
just
conveniently
in
the
mpo
hallway
broke
down.
So
we
had
to
replace
that,
but
then
we're
going
through
the
changes
to
get
that
AC
installed.
The
federal
government
was
asking
if
we
had
programmed
in
our
upwp
I'm
like
well
know,
because
we
didn't
foresee
the
AC
breaking
down,
but
we're
just
being
proactive
and
putting
something
in.
B
In
some
cases
yeah
we
do,
it
just
depends
on
on
the
facility,
so
we
would
only
be
able
to
do
it
in
the
facility.
The
things
that
are
affecting
our
offices
and
more
than
anything
is
just
for
expediency.
You
know
sometimes
the
city
process,
maybe
you
know,
might
take
longer.
There
might
not
be
funding
for
it.
You
know
through
a
certain
budget,
so
it's
just
to
expedite
things.
So
do
we
have
a
an
mou
or
anything
that
so.
B
A
B
Just
want
to
make
sure
that,
but
in
this
particular
case
the
city
ended
up
paying
for
it
because
we
didn't
have
it
in
the
epwp,
but
the
way
we're
going
to
handle
it
was
that
it
was
going
to
come
out
of
our
budget.
So
it's
really
just
there's
a
repair.
We
would
work
at
the
city
or
the
city's
contractors,
but
it
would
be
charged
to
our
account.
B
No,
we
don't
General
data
Administration,
15
000,
so
that's
just
to
help
with
our
Website
Maintenance
and
upkeep
other
data
activities
that
we
may
need
GIS
mapping.
Things
like
that
General
Administration
for
data
or
sorry
for
short-range
planning
is
2500
and
I'm
planning
assistance
7500.
So
that's
to
help,
for
example,
sitting
on
top
of
the
thoroughfare
plan,
we're
helping
the
method
with
different
planning
activities
or
other
communities
in
our
mpo
boundary.
B
Now
the
next
one,
the
complete
Street
set
of
site.
This
is
a
federal
requirement.
Now
2.5
percent
of
our
allocated
or
are
the
allocated
funds
to
us,
have
to
be
allocated
for
complete
Street
activities,
so
we're
doing
2.5
percent
of
what's,
and
that
is
what
allocated
annually.
So
it
was
about
14
000,
so
we
went
up
to
15
000,
whatever
you
think.
What
is
that?
What
a
complete
Street
set
aside
so
that's
focusing,
for
example,
interactive
transportation
planning
activities
working
on
bike,
pedestrian
projects
projects.
B
You
know
for
shared
use
paths,
okay,
better
planning
activities
to
help
identify
where
we
want
to
develop
complete
streets.
We
can
focus
on
pedestrians
and
bicyclists.
That's
that's
a
new
federal
requirement
with
the
iija
milk
that
they've
asked
us
to
do.
We've
been
doing
these
type
of
activities.
We
had
done
our
active
Transportation
Plan
before
so
we
had
used
these
funds
for
these
type
of
activities,
but
now
it's
asking
that
we
actually
program
a
set
amount
for
it.
B
H
G
A
G
H
That's
the
beginning,
and
right
now,
it's
out
for
a
grant
to
see
if
we
can't
get
the
rest
of
it
to
Arkansas
done.
But
complete
street
is
everything
that
you're
talking
about
from
planning
sidewalks
the
the
utilities
will
have
to
go
underground
because
there's
not
enough
room
and
that's
a
particular
thing
to
Corpus
Christi
you're,
trying
to
retrofit
it
into
the
old
size
of
streets
and.
H
A
G
H
B
I
was
just
going
to
mention.
Sometimes
these
federal
grants
they
ask
that
they
have
the
projects
in
the
MTP
and
the
tip
or
if
it's
gone
through
the
mpo,
sometimes
that's
a
requirement.
Sometimes
it
gives
you
extra
extra
points
so
moving
on
to
tasks
4.1,
this
is
for
our
2020
2045
MTP,
the
Metropolitan
Transportation
plan,
the
updates
and
minimums
that
we
bring
to
you
so
just
five
thousand,
and
now
the
2025-2050
MTP
update
we're
allocating
365
000
because
we
recently
went
through
the
RFQ
process.
B
So
we
should
be
bringing
back
a
recommendation
for
you
in
July,
so
we
envision
that
we're
going
to
be.
You
know,
spending
some
funds
next
fiscal
year
in
the
development
of
that
study,
and
then
we
have
a
long
range
Freight
mobility
plan,
which
we
already
have
an
rfu
ready
for
ready
to
be
issued.
That's
125
000..
We
had
it
last
year,
it's
about
a
hundred
thousand.
It
went
up
a
little
bit
just
given
all
the
cost
increases
to
125
000.
A
A
B
Know
I
mean
we're:
I
mean
we're
looking
into
the
future
too
right
so
like
with
the
mCP,
we're
looking
into
2050,
so
look
into
the
future
to
make
sure
that
you
know
we
avoid
some
of
the
issues
that
we
have
today
and
also
project
recommendations
and
then
we're
able
to
put
several
projects
so
for
one.
Like
one
example,
we've
been
talking
recently
communicating
with
text
Dodd
from
the
private
sector
about
the
east
side
of
a
Char
ruthanger.
So
like
we
know,
that's
a
neat
project,
so
you
know
sort
of
hiding
what
needs
to
happen.
B
B
I
mean
that's
part:
I
mean
the
planning
process
right,
it's
always
looking
into
the
future,
but
I
guess
we
just
need
to
do
a
better
job
and
as
a
community
of
making
sure
that
the
studies
we
do
are
actionable
and
that
we're
aligning
our
funding
right
with
these
plans
as
well.
So
our
job
as
an
mpo
is
also
to
make
sure
that
the
funding
that
we're
allocating
to
category
seven
category
nine
is
aligned
with
recommendations.
B
Micro
Transit
feasibility
study,
it's
a
study
that
Elemental
requested
and
Metro
is
looking
at
the
study
to
provide
what
would
be
like
an
on-demand
bus
service.
This
was
a
recommendation
of
the
comprehensive
operational
analysis
that
had
been
done
for
Metro
about
a
year
ago.
So
this
is
something
they're
requesting
for
any
new
service.
That
they're
going
to
provide
FDA
requires
that
they
have
a
study
done.
So
there
is
some
money
in
our
transportation
planning
funds
that
come
from
FTA
as
well.
B
So
that's
why
we
also
do
studies
for
Metro,
then
the
resiliency
study,
that's
something
that
the
Federal
Highway
Administration
has
been
asking
for,
and
then
also
they've
asked
us
to
look
at
the
World
Trade
Bridge
Expansion
Project,
to
see
the
the
impacts
of
that
on
the
environment
and
the
surrounding
Community,
with
the
hopes
to
propose
some
projects
in
the
area
to
relieve
congestion
and
also
with
the
hopes
of
helping,
inform
the
environmental
review
process.
That's
going
to
be
undergoing
with
that
project.
B
A
summary
we're
programming,
a
million
four
hundred
and
ten
thousand
dollars
over
available
Transportation
Planning
funds.
The
estimated
Transportation
Planning
funds
available
for
fy24
equal
2
million
429
997..
This
consists
of
an
estimate,
estimated
562
2039,
that's
going
to
be
awarded
in
fy24,
that's
based
on
previous
year
authorizations
and
then
an
estimated
unexpected
carryover
of
1867
958
from
FY
2023.
These
are
funds
that
I've
been
carrying
over
from
from
previous
years,
so
we're
programming
a
million
410
of
that
that's
what
I
mentioned.
We
need
a
program.
B
A
Yeah
so
now
we're
going
to
e,
we
receive
public
testimony
and
approve
resolution,
mpo
2023-05
adopting
the
following
proposed
amendments
of
the
mpo
laws.
This
is
a
public
hearing
that
is
open
already,
so
we
have
one
amend
article
two
section
2.1
and
2.2
to
allow
the
chairperson
and
vice
chairperson
to
rotate
every
two
years
between
the
City
of
Laredo
mayor
and
the
Webb
County
judge
and
Article
2,
which
is
amend,
amend
article
two
section
2.3
to
update
the
technical
committee
membership.
A
B
A
B
So
again,
these
are
it's
a
federal
requirement
through
the
fast
act
and
now
iij.
This
is
required
right
for
us
to
be
looking
at
performance-based
planning
performance
measures.
In
January
we
approved
our
safety
targets
for
the
year,
so
TxDOT
goes
ahead
and
does
these
targets
the
safety
targets
are
done
annually.
These
targets,
pm2
and
pm3-
are
done
pretty
much
every
other
year
and
you
gotta
see
the
timeline
here
so
right
now,
in
2022,
the
first
performance
period
ended.
B
The
second
performance
period
is
beginning,
and
the
policy
committee
would
adopt
the
targets
for
24
and
26
and
I'll
share
those
targets
with
you
right
now
in
2024,
we'll
bring
the
targets
back
text
out
at
that
time
does
mid
performance
report
and
that's
what
it's
due
and
then
we
would
have
to
just
reaffirm
or
adjust
the
targets
for
2026
at
that
time
and
then
in
2026.
The
second
performance
period
would
end
and
then
it
would
begin
the
third
performance
period
so
for
the
pm2.
These
are
the
pavement
and
Bridge
condition
targets.
Again.
B
These
targets
are
done
by
the
Texas,
a
m
transportation
Institute,
the
coordination
of
the
tech
stock.
So
these
are
Statewide
targets,
so
as
an
mpo,
we
have
the
choice
to
adopt
these
State
targets
and
just
make
sure
that
we're
incorporating
them
in
our
planning
process
so
to
go
over
these
the
percentage
of
Pavements
of
the
interstate
system
in
good
condition,
the
Baseline
was
64.5
percent
material
Target
in
2024
63.9
percent
and
the
four-year
Target
in
2026
is
63.6
not
moving
very
much
no
and
they're
using
actual
data
and
when
they're
doing
creating
this.
B
So
that's
part
of
the
reason
right
why
you
see
this
little
changes
percentage
of
payments
on
the
interstate
state
system
in
poor
condition,
the
Baseline
was
point.
One
percent
with
the
target
for
2024
is
0.2
percent
for
your
Target,
for
2026
is
0.2
percent
as
well
percentage
of
Pavements
of
the
non-interstate
national
highway
system
in
good
condition.
51.7
percent
is
the
Baseline
material.
Target
is
45.5
percent.
The
four-year
Target
is
46
percent.
B
Whole
so
the
they
use
the
data
from
around
the
state
and
they
create
these
targets,
and
then
we
just
have
to
make
sure,
for
example,
in
this
one,
for
example,
pavement
and
Bridge
condition
the
projects
that
we're
doing
along
the
loop
to
upgrade.
That
would
be
in
support
of
helping
these
targets.
Stay
quiet
because.
D
B
So
let's
say
so:
I
mean
that
would
be
something
that
we
need
to
identify
through
our
planning
process
right,
we're
doing
those
Longines
plans
and
Freight
plan.
You
know
we
need
to
make
sure
that
what
we're
doing
aligns
with
these
performance
measures.
So
we
need
to
be
looking
at
that,
making
sure
that
we're
making
improvements
to
those
areas
and
we're
doing
that.
You
know
we're
helping
the
state
move.
The
needle.
A
B
This
is
a
service
performance
measure
targets
again
this
measuring
travel
time
reliability.
This
relates
to
congestion,
so
we
want
to
do
projects
that
help
relieve
congestion
rate.
The
percentage
of
the
person
Mal's
traveled
on
the
interstate
that
are
reliable,
the
Baseline
was
84.6
percent
two-year
Target
was
70
and
the
four-year
Target
is
70
percent
age
of
the
person
miles
traveled
on
the
non-interstate
national
highway
system
that
are
reliable,
Baseline
was
90.3
percent
to
your
target
70
and
the
four-year
Target
is
70
as
well.
B
Now
for
travel
truck
travel
time,
reliability
index,
which
we
know
is
huge
for
Laredo
with
all
the
freight
industry
we
have,
the
Baseline
is
1.39
interior,
Target
1.55
and
that
Fourier
Target
also
1.55.
So
that's
just
an
index.
Looking
at
the
95
percentile
of
the
travel
time,
reliability
for
trucks
over
the
average.
B
So
just
a
nasty
as
I
had
mentioned,
on
the
pm2
and
pm3
measures.
We
just
need
to
work
on
a
you
know:
the
tech
stock
to
move
the
needle
on
these
targets,
and
we
got
to
make
sure
that,
according
with
them
and
stakeholders
and
programming
this
in
our
projects
and
also
making
sure
we
incorporated
in
our
planning
process
very.
F
E
E
How
are
we
supposed
to
determine
what
needs
to
be
maintained?
Is
it
on
one
I
mean
just
textile
doesn't
have
like
a
you
know
you
built
it
in
such
a
year
and
then
every
year
it
needs
to
be
kind
of
like
maintained
or
I'm,
just
worried
that
it's
falling
on
the
mpo
for
this
bridge
maintenance
and
Highway
Maintenance
stuff
that
we
might
not
detect
that
it
needs
to
be
maintained
until
it's
too
late.
B
E
B
I
I
So
as
part
of
our
requirement
we're
we
develop
a
four-year
plan,
so
we're
always
looking
every
year
we
we,
you,
know
overlay
or
rehabilitate
rows
and
we're
adding
a
year
the
fourth
year,
basically
right
so
so
we
have
a
four-year
cycle
of
of
preventive
maintenance
on
all
of
our
roadways
right
so
and
that's
that's
something
that
we
do
at
the
basically
at
the
district
level.
So
so.
B
Okay,
x,
dot
and
TTI
work
together
on
on
data,
there's
a
lot
of
data
available
on
conditions,
so
the
roadways,
the
bridges
and
for
all
across
the
state
but
yeah.
We
just
need
to
work
with
our
project
partners
and
in
our
planning,
making
sure
that
we're
incorporating
this.
But
it
doesn't
it's
not
our
responsibility
to
make
sure
that
a
bridge
is
maintained
that,
because
we're
not
responsible
for
the
right
away,
we
don't
own
the
right
away
as
an
mpo.
So.
I
A
K
K
So
before
you
are
packages
or
prepared
by
your
office
at
the
engineering
department,
in
coordination
with
real
estate
and
TxDOT,
of
course,
and
we're
here
to
present
the
status
on
the
now
State
Highway
84..
As
one
mentioned
on
May
25th,
the
Texas
Transportation
Commission
took
action
on
designating
what
previously
was
known
as
Charlie
ninja
road,
which
will
be
now
State,
Highway,
84.
K
and
being
a
non-state
highway
system
from
FM
1472
to
835,
so
I'd
say
relates
to
the
items
that
the
city
is
responsible
for
and
we've
been
in
coordination
with
TxDOT.
We
had
a
meeting
as
as
soon
as
yesterday.
Just
coordinating
all
this
all
the
parcels
we've
received
the
appraisals
for
all
the
parcels
for
all
late
last
couple
of
them
yesterday.
K
A
K
F
K
The
appraisals
once
we
off
we're,
expecting
to
receive
or
send
the
offer
letters
the
first
week
of
July,
yes
and
then
after
that,
going
to
council
after
that,
once
we
I,
don't
I,
don't
have
a
date.
I,
don't
know
if
we're
going
to
give
them
two
weeks,
three
weeks
or
a
month
to
look
at
these,
but
we're
going
to
try
to
expedite
as
much
as
possible.
G
G
A
K
K
E
A
I
K
E
A
K
A
B
Name
right:
yeah:
we
got
a
new
name
ready
at
the
next
meeting
on
June
29th
in
Austin,
at
the
Texas
Transportation
Commission
meeting
they're
going
to
be
presenting
the
draft
for
UTP,
which
is
going
to
include
those
entire
amounts
that
you
saw
right
now
in
those
tip
amendments
with
the
category
two
and
category
four
funds.
I
know
the
committee
had
expressed
interest
in
attending
this
meeting
so
far,
I
know
I,
believe
mayor,
Pro,
tem,
Vanessa
Perez
have
expressed
interest,
I,
believe
they're,
also
going
up
with
the
city
for
some.
B
Maybe
some
other
meetings
additional
meetings,
but
we
put
this
item
just
to
make
sure
that
we
all
were
aware
that
we're
attending
and
see.
If
there's
anybody
else,
that's
wishing
to
attend
from
what
we
are
aware
of,
the
UTP
draft
will
be
present
at
this
meeting
and
the
final
one
in
August
pretty
much
it's
pretty
much
final
right.
When
they're
presenting
this
draft,
we
want
to
go
up
and
thank
the
Transportation
Commission
for
support
for
adding
the
Char,
ruthanger
and
then
I
know.
The
city.
B
B
D
Only
comment
I've
made
this
earlier
is
that
when
we
go
to
meetings
like
this,
if
we
stand
up
and
make
a
public
comment,
that
we
send
a
really
good
delegate,
that
speaks
well
for
Laredo
and
Webb
County
and
makes
us
look
good.
So
there
needs
to
be
some
coordination
and
to
make
sure
that
when
they're
up
there,
hopefully,
if
it's
speaking
on
behalf
of
the
mpo
they're
they're
speaking
as
one
voice,
we
need
to
hire
an
actor.
D
Make
a
few
comments
and
I'll
turn
it
over
to
the
consultant
and
I'm
very
glad
that
mayor
Pro,
tem
Pettis
is
here
because
this
Falls
within
her
District
this
report
was
finished.
Timely
I'm
excited
about
the
fact
that
it's
done
and
we're
now
able
to
present
it.
If
you'll
recall,
when
there
was
a
motion
made
to
proceed
with
this
one
of
the
words
that
use
commissioner
was
actionable
and
we
keep
hearing
that
with
these
studies.
D
So
hopefully
the
work
product
is
something
that
will
allow
us
to
take
the
next
step,
possibly
in
today's
meeting.
The
way
that
the
agenda
is
worded,
it
is
possible
action.
I
would
think
if,
if
y'all
like
what
you
hear,
that
the
formal
action
would
be
to
adopt
it,
which
allows
us
to
give
a
little
bit
more
traction
and
teeth
to
move
on
it
like
with
anything
else,
that's
presented,
there's
a
dollar
amount
there
and
the
thing
that
we
all
know
you
all.
As
elected
officials
me,
is
an
appointed
social
and
and
happiest
District
Engineers.
D
There's
just
never
enough.
Money
for
these
I
know
that
when
this,
when
I
became
chair
of
the
RMA
in
November
of
2019,
this
roadway,
which
is
approximately
the
same
length,
was
estimated
at
60
million
dollars.
Now
at
in
2028,
it's
it's
like
155
million
dollars.
Everything
keeps
going
up
so
the
faster
we
can
get
stuff
done.
The
better.
The
conversations
that
we've
had
pre
and
I
think
it's
previous
to
happy.
Services
District
engineer
is
I.
Believe
TxDOT
sees
this
road
as
a
local
Street
and
not
necessarily
an
on
system
road.
D
So
we
have
to
get
creative
on
how
we
come
up
with
Monies
to
build
it
someday
back
to
the
last
comment.
I'd
make
before
I
turn
it
over
is
ameripro
Tim
had
a
held
a
town
hall
meeting
many
many
months
ago,
the
roads
that
were-
and
it
was
to
talk
about
everything
in
in
her
District
but
transportation
became
probably
to
me
the
biggest
topic
of
discussion.
It
was
well
attended.
Congressman,
Cuellar,
representative
Richard,
Raymond
Juan,
was
there
I.
Was
there
Tito?
D
Was
there
on
behalf
of
TxDOT
the
thing
that
the
roads
that
they
identified
as
being
really
important
to
the
members
of
The
Mines
Road,
those
that
reside
out
there
who
are
HR
via
seal
River,
Road
and
knowing
that
things
need
to
happen
with
the
minds?
Road,
that's
a
given,
but
but
they
really
are
excited
about
the
River
Road
Project.
So
hopefully,
one
way
or
another
in
the
coming
years,
we'll
figure
out
how
to
put
the
money
together
and
get
the
road
built.
A
A
D
The
road
in
two
points
to
that
one
is
Congressman.
Claire
had
asked
me
at
one
point:
what
is
a
project
that
really
isn't
on
the
radar
that
should
be
on
the
radar
and
I
said
I
feel
pretty
strongly
about
the
the
River
Road
Project
out
off
The
Mines
Road
and
let's
clarify
this
River
Road
Project
is
not
the
one
we
see
at
city
council
all
the
time
that
runs
adjacent
to
the
river.
This
is
a
paved
public
roadway
off
of
the
river.
D
A
D
Think
there's
still
some
money
and
I
don't
want
to
take
too
much
steam
out
of
the
presentation
we're
getting
ready
to
give.
But
one
of
the
things
that
we
want
to
do
as
an
RMA
is
create
what
I'm
an
Innovative
funding
committee
I've
got
one
of
the
members.
That's
agreed
to
serve
Arturo
Dominguez
here
with
us.
Today
he's
a
board
member
of
of
the
RMA.
J
Thank
you
chairman,
so
good
afternoon,
members
of
the
policy
Committee
of
the
mpo
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Melissa
montemayor
I'm,
representing
the
Webb
County
City
of
Laredo
Regional
ability
Authority.
As
chairman
Brown
mentioned,
we're
going
to
be
presenting
today
the
completed
River,
Road
alternative
study.
So
after
extensive
analysis
and
stakeholder
stakeholder
engagement,
you're
going
to
hear
all
that
extensive
information
from
from
our
presenter
today,
you're
going
to
see
everything
that
was
done
to
come
up
with
the
preferred
alignment.
D
And
I'm
going
to
say
something
too
before
Jason
starts:
I
I
told
Jason.
When
you
come
before
us,
you
got
five
minutes
to
make
your
point
because
a
lot
of
times
Consultants
come
in
and
feel
like
they're,
the
only
presenter
on
the
agenda,
so
I
said.
If
anybody
asks
questions
that
didn't
count
against
his
five
minutes.
All
right,
we
started
already:
okay.
L
The
times
the
clock's
taken,
okay,
well
for
the
record,
my
name
is
Jason
Rodriguez,
as
Melissa
mentioned,
I
am
representing
the
Webb
County
City
of
Laredo
Regional
Mobility,
Authority
and
I'll,
be
talking
today
about
the
item.
River
Road
route,
alternative
study.
We
already
had
a
lot
of
good
information,
shared
with
with
Mr
Brown
and
Miss
montemayor
I'll,
just
kind
of
give
a
brief
background
on
what
you
know.
What
sort
of
started
this
and
so
there's
a
lot
of
work-
that's
been
done
over
the
years
on
FM
1472.
L
We
realize
that's
a
congested
roadway.
There
are
there's
a
lot
of
truck
traffic
on
that
roadway,
so
a
couple
of
things
were
done
in
recent
years.
In
2020
the
RMA
completed
the
north
Florida
Webb
County
Transportation
Planning
study,
That
Was
Then,
followed
up
by
an
update
to
the
Future
thoroughfare
plan
and
in
both
of
those
studies,
River
Road
was
really
identified
as
something
that
would
be
beneficial
to
provide
a
direct
alternate
route
to
Mines,
Road
or
FM
1472
through
that
area.
L
So
as
a
result-
and
this
is
even
to
Echo-
I
mean
when
we
were
doing
the
north
Laredo
study
the
top
roads
that
we
heard
were
by
a
SEO
hachar,
River
Road,
so
River
Road
was
really
The,
Logical
sort
of
next
step
to
to
develop
and
I
and
and
really
Define.
What
that
project
is
doing.
This
study,
one
of
the
biggest
takeaways
I,
think
just
right
off
the
bat
was
that
we
did
a
traffic
analysis
analysis
to
see.
L
Should
we
build
this
or
not,
and
that
essentially
concluded
that
it
would
be
possible
to
if
you
build
the
the
full
5.6
mile
roadway
to
reduce
travel
time
from
Las
tiendas
to
I-69
West
along
FM
1472
by
more
than
half,
and
that
I
think
was
was
something
that
would
support
a
lot
of
the
information
that
we
heard
from
the
stakeholders
that
we
engaged.
So
something
that's
going
to
be
very
important
to
this.
That
we've,
already
kind
of
discussed
is
that
Partnerships
are
going
to
be
key
in
advancing
the
project
forward.
L
So
just
like,
we
heard,
let's,
let's
develop
this
project
in
that
North
Laredo
study.
We
did,
as
part
of
this
study,
bring
six
Alternatives
before
a
series
of
stakeholders.
We
had
a
series
of
meetings
in
October
of
2022
and
more
than
70
individuals,
representing
12
or
so
organizations.
There
were
a
couple,
others
that
were
sort
of
individuals
themselves
gathered
and
they
gave
us
input.
I
mean
sure
we
have
a
lot
of
data
to
look
at
to
analyze.
Where
should
this
road
be?
How
should
it
be
built?
L
But
those
individuals
really
did
help
us
to
interpret
what
that
data
means.
They
helped
us
to
understand
what
their
goals
were,
what
their
objectives
were,
what
some
of
the
issues
were
in
the
area
with
regard
to
Transportation
helped
us
to
gain
an
understanding
of
the
plans,
both
local
state
and
federal
agency
level,
and
then
we
also
heard
from
developers
and
property
owners
in
the
area
as
well.
So
just
to
reiterate
the
sort
of
graphic
across
the
bottom
here
is
just
saying:
this
is
the
project
development
process.
We
are
at
the
very
beginning
of
that
process.
L
What
we've
done
is
defined
a
project
and
the
next
steps
are
going
to
be
to
really
identify
who
the
the
partners
are
and
and
formalize
agreements
so
identifying
the
funding.
Obviously,
this
is
something
as
as
chairman
Brown
mentioned.
You
know.
One
of
the
things
that
we're
going
to
have
to
do
is
is
figure
out
how
to
how
to
pay
for
it
and,
as
he
mentioned,
154.8
million
is
the
fiscal
year
28
figure
in
fiscal
year.
23.
That's
really
how
we
started
the
estimate.
A
If
that
can
interrupt
you,
sir,
because
I
do
have
a
deadline,
can
we
move
forward
to
the
actual
Road
itself
and
see
I
want
to
get
comments?
Sure
remember,
because
if
there
is
action
we
know
we've
already
gotten
the
cost
and
all
that
stuff
and
gotcha.
We
know
how
to
do
it.
So,
let's
talk
about
the
actual.
L
So
that
roadway
would
be,
and
I
promise
I'm
gonna
get
to
the
alignment
here,
but
just
to
show
you
what's
in
that
line,
it's
a
we
estimated
150
foot
right
of
way.
What
you
see
are
two
lanes
in
each
Direction
split
by
a
median.
That
median
is
where
turn
Lanes
would
be,
where
future
expansion
of
the
road
to
three
lanes
could
be
10
foot
shared
use,
path
on
the
West
Side,
presumably
where
there
would
be
more
of
a
residential
sort
of
land
use,
whereas
you'd
have
the
sidewalk.
L
On
the
other
side,
the
east
side
of
the
roadway
and
the
line
that
you
see
on
this
map
in
on
this
slide
here
is
the
the
preferred
alignment
that
the
study
is
recommending
which,
throughout
the
process
of
the
study,
would
be
alternative.
Five,
so
essentially
the
the
next
steps
from
here
to
actually
move.
This
is
to
it's
really
to
find
the
funds.
I
mean
the
media.
L
D
A
G
E
The
first
time,
okay,
no
well
I
hadn't,
seen
the
alignment
I
had
noticed
that
there
were
some
differences
and
my
question
was
going
to
be
if
there
could
be
like
a
combination
of
but
I,
see.
I
think
that
this
looks
pretty
accurate.
I
think
that
there
was
a
lot
of
already
developed
Parts
in
some
of
the
kind
of
alignment
options,
I
believe
so
it
wouldn't
really
work
out.
But
I
see
right
here.
E
D
Yeah
I,
actually,
what
I'd
like
to
see
too,
along
with
the
satellite
photo,
is
lines
on
their
ownership.
So
we
know
who
this
is
impacting.
I
think
that
to
really
understand
it
kind
of
goes
back
to
the
HR
project
is
knowing
who
the
various
property
owners
are,
because
some
of
them
informally
had
said
in
the
meetings.
Oh
I'm
excited
about
this
I'm
going
to
donate,
others
have
said
or
haven't
even
commented
on
it,
so
you.
E
Know
well,
I
do
I
would
like
to
ask
was
Mr
Medina
he
had
back
in
2016
2015
he
had
presented
his.
He
had
basically
done
a
lot
of
work
on
on
this
without
an
alignment
and
he
had
been
able
to
secure
all
the
landowners
along
the
Route,
with
the
exception
of
a
few,
to
donate
and
agree
to
this
and
I,
don't
know
if
that's
still
accurate
or
not,
but
he.
L
J
You're,
correct
councilwoman,
so
Mr
Medina
was
instrumental
in
sharing
the
information
that
he
had
worked
on
in
previous
years.
We
use
this
as
a
basis
for
the
analysis
of
this
alignment.
So
you
know
that
was
part
of
the
mix
of
analyzing.
His
alignment,
then
taking
other
stakeholder
information,
of
course,
with
the
constraints
that
we
found
geometrics
and
then
physical
constraints
as
well.
But
to
answer
your
questions
short
in
a
short
answer,
yes,
we
did
take
his
information
into
account
to
develop
this
alignment.
L
D
D
I
I
almost
feel
like
we
need
a
workshop
with
the
city
to
go
over
this
before
it
gets
presented
to
councilor
before
it
gets
presented
to
the
Commissioners,
to
talk
to
get
more
information
and
have
a
have
a
meeting
of
the
meeting
with
you
to
to
understand
it
better
when
we
can
wait
on
a
formal
action
by
the
mpo
and
once
we
have
a
better
understanding
of
what
the
city
would
like
to
do,
I
mean
we.
We
put
this
study
together
with
the
mpo
because
we
were
asked
to.
D
We
don't
have
the
money
to
build
this,
but
but
we
can,
we
can
do
our
part
to
help
get
it
done.
It's
just
going
to
take
time
and
identifying
where
the
money
comes
from.
It
took
us
a
long
time
to
come
up
with
45
million
dollars
for
Visio.
This
is
155
million
dollars.
So
it's
it's
today
today.
Well,
no,
it's
125
today.
B
But
it's
a
lot
if
I
may
add
something:
I
was
going
to
mention
once
an
alignment
is
selected
right,
let's
say
the
city
in
pioticio.
With
this
alignment
we
would
work
with
our
planning
department
to
make
sure
that
it's
on
the
thoroughfare
plan
and
just
the
roads
are
already
on
the
surfer
plan,
which
is
going
make
sure
to
align
it.
That
way
when
the
developers
do
come
in
that
they're,
you
know
preserving
that
right-of-way.
E
E
Same
because
I
mean
I
would
I
would
I'm
just
throwing
it
out
there,
but
I
think
it's
pretty
much
the
same
owners
regardless
so
the
convert.
We
could
start
the
conversation
with
the
owners
that
are
all
how
many
different
owners
are.
Have
you
identified
along
this
about
along
all
of
these
routes,
10
11.
L
E
Think
it
would
be
wise,
regardless
of
the
alignment.
Maybe
start,
the
conversation,
maybe
not
knowing
exactly
which
alignment
or
or
assuming
that
we're
going
to
go
with
the
preferred
one,
but
starting
the
conversation
with
these
landowners,
because
if
we
don't
have
this
roadway,
then
it's
going
to
be
very
hard
to
develop
out
here
unless
you're
just
going
to
connect
directly
to
Mines
Road
but
you're,
you
know
it's.
It's
I
think
that
we
could
kind
of
start
the
conversation
and
the
work
that's
going
to
need
to
be
done
with
the
different
owners.
D
I
I
do
like
that
idea:
I,
don't
know
if
that's
something
if
it's
Community
Development
planning
department,
RMA,
all
in
conjunction
I'm,
not
sure
who
who
initiates,
that
I
mean
our
at
this
point,
the
contract
that
we
that
we
needed
to
do
has
been
completed.
We
fulfilled
that
I,
don't
mind
us
doing
additional
work,
but
we
want
to
understand
who's,
taking
the
lead
on
them.
E
E
M
For
City
Laredo,
it
is
a
good
idea
to
bring
them
in.
We
can
we
now
that
we
have
an
alignment
we
can
bring
in
the
landowner,
so
they
can
see
they've
been
asking
for
it.
They've
been
wanting
to
know.
What's
going
on
with
this,
we
do
have
some
activity
out
there,
some
plots
that
were
coming
through
some
annexations
that
we're
coming
through.
M
So
we
really
need
to
get
this
put
down
and
visit
with
the
owner
and
then,
if
there's
an
owner
that
doesn't
have
an
engineer,
I
think
they
need
to
to
get
an
engineer
to
represent
them
so
that
we
can
get
everybody
ready
for
this.
So
I'd
gladly
take
the
lead
and
just
make
sure
that
we
start
that
conversation.
M
A
D
Another
and
commissioner,
if
I
made
that
this
actually
kind
of
Works
hand
in
hand
with
the
conversations
we're
having
on
the
trz's,
the
I've
had
both
Orly
and
Miriam
contact
us
to
want
to
have
another
presentation
at
city
council
for
the
north,
Laredo,
trz
and
I
reminded
him.
We
still
have
the
cuatro
Vientos
of
Jersey,
so
we
need
to
have
a
workshop
on
that,
but
this
this
ties
to
there
could
be
some
funding
through
a
trz
too.
Some
some
monies
could
come
to
the
project.
E
E
M
J
H
L
L
E
B
E
A
B
Was
a
good
answer?
Yeah
yeah
and
I
was
going
to
mention
the
the
full
study
or
the
study
not
with
the
appendix
is
the
study,
the
summary
asan
user
packet
you'd
have
to
look
at
that,
and
it
shows
you
the
comparison
of
the
Alternatives,
which
I've
had
more
bridges,
which
one
had
less.
So,
if
you
look
at
all
that
criteria,
that
is
in
your
packet,
if
you're
interested
in
looking
at.
H
That
yeah,
if
this
road
is
to
be
residential
and
it
and
forgive
my
ignorance,
but
it
looks
as
if
La
Vota
is
the
most
densely
residential
area.
The
farthest
north
on
the
south
part
of
it
is
the
expectation
that
there'll
be
more
residential
developments
and
it
does
go
through
some
industrial.
But
is
there
going
to
be
more
resident
residential
development
along
this
River
Road?
No,
so
how?
A
A
E
D
Number
that
was
in
the
report-
if
you
said
this,
I
didn't
hear
and
I
apologize
and
I'm
going
to
change
one
word,
but
as
many
as
15
000
cars
could
be
diverted
to
River
Road
in
year,
one
and
and
forty
thousand
by
2045.
Something
that's
really
important
to
point
out
is
River.
Road
is
going
to
take
traffic
off
the
mines
road,
so
we
have
a
bunch
of
problems
on
The
Mines
Road.
Hopefully
that
gets
a
little
bit
better
because
of
River
Road
I'm
sure
by.
H
D
South
of
this,
this
project,
Southern
termination
point-
is
a
keto
and
and
River
Road.
It's
I
mean
the
bridge
isn't
far
south
of
where
this
starts.
So
there
there's
a
lot
of
traffic
congestion
in
that
whole
area
and
and
something
that,
as
that
area
develops
mostly
in
single-family
residential.
On
the
west
side,
there
will
be
a
lot
of
east
east
west
roads
that
do
come
back
to
the
Mines
Road
for
circulation,
but.
B
I
was
going
to
add
to
that
most
of
the
congestion.
A
lot
of
the
congestion
is
that
what
the
data
shows
is
pretty
much
at
I-69
north
of
that,
so
this
route
will
allow
you
to
eventually
get
to
I-69
out
or
connect
to
Riverbank,
which
is
already
built
and
go
around
from
the
west
side
of
Mines
Road
so,
but
provide
that
relief.
B
A
You
still
have
Fletch
on
them
that
they,
you
know
they
have
to
be
allowed
to
go
to,
but
I'm
saying
the
trucks
that
don't
need
to
be
there
shouldn't
be
there,
but
anyway,
if
we
could
move
on
because
I
do
need
to
leave
here.
So
there's
no
action
today
right.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
sounds
exciting.
E
A
D
A
N
N
This
was
at
the
fall
of
last
year.
They
completed
a
feasibility
study
and,
as
you
all
can
see
on
the
on
the
on
the
slide,
you
know
now
we're
moving
into
getting
a
consultant
and
start
developing
our
schematic
and
shortly
after
you
know,
we'll
be
going
with
start
working
some
of
the
environmental
clearance
and
then,
after
that
you
know,
we
can
go
with
right
away
our
utilities
so
pretty
much
what
you
have
right
there
on
the
on
the
screen
on
your
slides.
A
A
N
Other
one
is
59
to
359
and
the
last
one
is
from
359
South
to
83.,
yeah
and,
and
so
the
the
alignments
actually
the
one
from
they
are
pretty
much
changed
from
their
original
study
back
in
2007
and
on
our
website
and
the
Laredo
on
texas.gov.
You
type,
it
gives
you
all
the
alignments
and
they
also
showed
you
the
preferred
alignment
that
we
had
selected.
A
N
So
and
yeah
like
say
you
know
the
the
way
when
I'm
mentioned
breaking
it
up
is
how
we're
going
to
be
designing.
You
know
in
seconds
yeah,
you
know
and
then
eventually
I
want
to
set
up.
Was
it
like
two
years
ago?
I
think
that
the
the
number
one,
the
other
three
you
know
the
way
there
it
was
ranked
by
the
mpo
I
think
the
segment
between
359
and
59
became
the
top
priority,
followed
by
the
other
two
yeah.
You
know
just
I
want
to
alleviate
the
traffic
that
congestion
on
359..
N
A
N
N
Price
we
had
several
meetings
with
the
property
owners
and
actually
one
of
the
relocation
that
he
changed
was
in
359
the
the
initial
alignment
we
had
right
now,
there's
pretty
much
neighborhood
on
both
sides
and
that
that
land
in
the
middle
was
left
empty.
You
know
yeah,
they
knew
the
loop
was
going
through
there.
Once
we
went
to
the
public
meetings,
you
know
and
I
started
doing
the
visibility
with
Vice
in
the
visibility,
the
neighborhood.
N
They
say
you
know
what
we
don't
want,
this
freeway
through
the
middle,
so
that
was
one
of
the
location
that
it
was
actually
relocated
as
an
example
of
359..
Now
the
locations
that
we
are
right
now
Crossing,
they
are
undeveloped.
You
know
they
they
don't
have
any
development.
So
far,
there
has
been
we've
been
approached
by
a
developers
building
those
areas
and
they
are
leaving
the
space
right
now
for
them
for
the
auto
load.
Okay,.
A
N
D
A
Oh,
that's
fine,
but
I
want
to
secure
this.
Like
I,
said
those
connections,
so
I
think
the
two
easiest
piece
is
going
to
be
59
and
359
and
then
between
359
and
Montana
height,
because,
like
you're
saying
once
that
starts
developing,
then
you
know
they
can
box
you
up
right
now
we're
aware
of
that:
okay,
very
good,
all
right!
So
what
else
we
got.
N
The
next
project
is
the
us59
project
and
y'all,
where
you
know
the
price
is
letting
in
in
August
of
this
year,
it's
about
close
to
six
miles
in
Lynn,
and
that
was
from
International
to
just
south
of
the
airport.
We
extended
the
limit
just
out
of
the
airport,
because
we
need
to
make
some
improvements
on
that
intersection
of
the
airport,
since
we're
going
to
be
building
the
four
overpasses
at
the
international
Shiloh,
Del,
Mar
and
Jacqueline,
and
we'll
need
to
go
down
to
International
with
this
project
and
make
some
improvements.
What's.
N
In
Tamil
you,
actually,
we
have
the
The
Interchange
I
mean
I'm,
sorry
yeah,
it's
a
child
yeah,
it's
Shiloh,
University,
Delmar
and
Jackman
internationally
in
that
order
or
any
supporter.
Well,
you
may
for
construction.
Yes
for
construction,
we
actually
the
first
it's
about.
We
came
up
with
the
latest
construction
determinations
about
five
years
for
the
first
10
to
12
months.
N
The
next
phase
will
be
we're
going
to
be
building
the
the
two
lanes
of
what's
gonna,
be
on
the
most
of
this
area
and
the
Northbound
Furniture
we're
going
to
be
building
one
side
of
the
road,
the
Northbound
and
then,
after
after
we
open
up
the
Northbound,
we're
gonna
be
Shifting
the
traffic
to
that
side,
so
we
can
be
reconstructed.
What's
going
to
be
the
southbound
and
after
that,
we'll
start
building
the
bridges
in
the
mirror,
similar
to
what
you
saw
in
McPherson
International.
We
saw
we
built
them.
Yes,.
N
I
F
I
J
F
B
I
N
O
For
the
record,
what
you're
recalling
is
that
we
had
three
phases
initially,
which
was
the
northern
face,
which
was
International
Shiloh
and
Del
Mar.
We
had
a
second
phase
which,
which
was
just
Jacqueline,
and
then
we
had
phase
three,
which
was
the
airport
and
originally
and
I.
Remember:
Mr
Galo.
You
commented
how
the
airport
should
be
the
quickest
one
we
can
get
in
and
get
out,
and
that
was
our
intent
to
start
there
and
go
north.
Then
we
had
all
the
other
issues
come
up.
So
we
said
switching.
O
So
now
we're
doing
north
to
south,
as
in
we're
doing
that
project
first
and
then
the
airport
project,
but
for
the
first
project
the
sequence
of
construction
will
be
everything
going
south
to
North.
So
as
we're
doing
our
utilities
we'll
do
the
joint
bid
when
we
start
our
footage
roads
south
to
North,
when
we
jump
to
Bridges
south
to
North
and
that
way
we
can
Target
the
most
congested
area,
which
is
Jacqueline
and
as
Mr
Gonzalez
was
mentioning,
you
know
we'll
be
able
to
construct
One
open.
O
A
F
I
And
and
really
that
that
schedule
is
to
you
know
to
account
for
material
availability.
You
know
right
now,
there's
certain
materials
that
require
a
longer
lead
time
and
things
like
that
right,
so,
especially
when
it
comes
to
like
some
of
the
utility
work
and
youth
materials
or
water
lines
and
Sewer
lines
and
those
type
of
things
right
so.
N
Correct
correct
and
we
had
our
director
of
traffic
operations
kind
of
follow
through
I
know.
This
request
came
have
come
several
times.
You
know
to
to
the
MPL
in
order
for
us
to
put
signs
over
there
enforcing
science
and
having
that
to
enforce
the
the
right
lanes
only
for
trucks,
the
according
to
the
to
the
transportation
administrator,
because
we
need
to
have
a
minimum
of
three
lengths
on
the
industry.
So
right
now
it
can
be
signed,
but
it
cannot
be
enforced.
You
know
by
by
the
law
enforcement.
N
So
what
we're
doing
right
now
as
part
of
the
35
I
mean
we're
moving
North
as
to
winding
at
the
three
lanes.
As
we
are
aware,
you
know
we're
going
to
do
the
Uniroyal
charity
during
exchange.
You
know
we'll
come
in
with
a
the
us-83
railroad,
great
separation
at
mile
marker
18.,
and
then
that
one
ends
about
mile
marker
20.
and
then
from
there
we
had
another.
We
have
a
consultant
already
on
board
they're
doing
a
schematic
and
psce
from
Mall
Market
20
to
30.
N
N
To
the
checkpoint
in
the
north
they're
north
of
the
checkpoint,
we
broke
it
that
as
one
segment
and
then
we
broke
the
rest.
You
know
as
another
segment
and
what's
going
to
happen,
working
right
now
we're
putting
that
one
as
a
top
priority
to
get
the
funding
together.
Three
lanes
at
least
you
know
Northbound
for
now
and
have
introduced
some
modifications
right
now
at
the
checkpoint,
yeah.
I
So
so
the
intent
and
and
we've
had
some
discussions
with
with
a
consultant
right
and,
of
course,
we're
looking
at
at
basically,
you
know,
like
Roberto
said
we
have
that
10
Mile
Stretch.
Basically,
from
the
end
of
that,
you
know
I-35
at
the
railroad
underpass,
you
know
all
the
way
to
the
checkpoint,
so,
instead
of
focusing
on
those
entire
10
miles
we're
looking
at
okay,
let's,
let's
really
try
to
prioritize
that
the
northernmost
four
miles
so
that
you
know
I
think
you
might
be
able
to
get
away
with
one
mile.
I
I
Otherwise,
there's
still
going
to
be
a
gap
where
you're
not
going
to
be
able
to
get
to
or
vehicles
passenger
vehicles
would
not
be
able
to
get
to
that
to
that
third
lane
right
so
so
again,
that's
that's
something
that
we're
looking
at
and-
and
you
know
the
possibility
of
perhaps
instead
of
doing
the
entire,
you
know
North
and
South
there.
We.

Good
afternoon,
chairman
and
members
of
commission
Ramon
Chavez
a
city
engineer
if
I
can
start
before
my
presentation.
I
know
there
was
a
question
regarding
the
letting
date,
so
our
consultant
schedules
on
on
both
of
these
projects.
We
have
an
earlier
letting
date
textile
is
recommending
that
we
place
the
May
20
25th
day,
understanding
that
these
projects,
this
one
in
particular
Fletchling,
goes
back,
goes
back
to
May
of
2011
when
it
started
so
12
years.
K
And
so
for
that
reason,
textile
is
recommended.
I
know
they
have
some
additional
justification.
Why
they,
they
feel
that
it's
best
to
accelerate
a
letting
date
rather
than
extending
a
letting
date.
So
that
was
also
part
of
the
Why
move
it
to
to
May
2025,
but
again
on
both
of
these.
Our
consultants
and
we're
gonna
push
them
as
much
as
we
can
have
earlier,
letting
dates.
E
C
K
K
Big
big
plus
to
this
because
now
there's
nothing
to
delay
us
to
access
survey
whatever
it
is
that
we
need
to
do
in
that
property
and
and
that
closing
for
that
two
additional
Parcels
that
were
needed.
That's
going
to
take
place
today.
As
a
recent
preliminary
going
into
the
funding
and
the
estimates
for
Fletchling,
the
most
recent
estimate
came
at
4.9
million
and
again
understanding
that
this
project
goes
back
all
the
way
to
2011.
K
K
K
K
We
continue
to
work
and-
and
a
lot
of
that
has
to
do
with
that
with
the
psne
and
all
those
changes
now
moving
on
to
the
utility
relocations,
we
have
the
target
dates
for
each
individual
utility.
There
AP
at
T,
Center,
Point
utilities
and
Spectrum,
then
going
into
what
the
schedule
will
look
like
the
environmental
re-evaluation
was
completed
in
2022
we're
expecting
to
have
once
this
amendment
is
approved,
we're
expecting
to
have
100
plans
to
text
out
in
August.
K
So,
two
months
from
now,
and
once
we
approve
that
Amendment,
we
are
going
to
put
pressure
on
the
consultant
to
stick
to
his
schedule
that
he's
given
us
to
submit
those
from
there.
We
will
go
into
the
coordination
with
UPR,
which
also
is
necessary
and
the
Consultants
estimated
that
by
January
2024
will
be
completed
with
that
and
the
project
lighting
that
you
see
on
there
is
based
on
the
tech
stops
recommendation
of
May
2025
2025.
Our
consultant
has
a
May
2024
leading
date
on
his
schedule,
but
again
we
are
going
to
continue
pushing.
E
Well,
if
I
may
I'm
just
a
little
concerned
with
us
pushing
it
out
just
because
then
that
kind
of
you
know
it's
like
loosening
your
your
your
your
your
belt,
instead
of
like
trying
to
you
know
not
to
it.
Just
feels
like
if
we
give
ourselves
until
May
2025
we're
gonna
take
until
May
2025,
because
we
have
that
comfort,
so
I
think
that
if
work
start
I
mean
after
so
many
years,
January
2024
I
mean
I'm.
E
E
F
K
No,
and
the
other
thing
that
I
want
to
mention
is
that
I'll
I'll
have
a
conversation,
a
pending
conversation
with
textile,
because
I
understand
that
this
funding
that's
available,
that
you're
able
to
move
it
between
these
two
projects,
but
that's
something
that
I
need
to
confirm
with
with
textbook.
If
that
will
be
possible.
E
Well,
the
concern
I
have
is
that
right
now
we're
looking
at
a
two
million
dollar
funding
Gap
the
further.
We
go,
the
greater
the
funding
Gap
and
that's
been
the
issue
with
everything
that
we
plan.
We
plan
for
it,
and
then
we
kind
of
have
no
end
in
sight
as
far
as
acquiring
that
funding,
and
then
we
push
it
off
so
long
that
by
the
time
we're
ready
to
start
it.
E
We
say:
oh,
we
don't
have
enough
money
because
within
plan
for
this,
and
then
we
push
it
off
longer
and
we
keep
pushing
it
off
because
we
don't
have
the
money
and
then,
by
the
time
we
decide
to
do
it.
It's
like
10
times
more
expensive
than
it
was,
and
that's
what
we're
facing
here
again
also
like
we're
right
now
we're
looking
at
2
million.
If
we
were
to
let
it
in
2024
is
going
to
be
cheaper
than
for
us
to
let
it
in
2025..
E
B

Thank
you,
commissioner.
Gonzalez.
It's
been
a
long
meeting,
so
