A
For
this
motion,
as
stated
by
georgia,
tech,
as
your
second
seconded
by
commissioner
or
council
member
ruben
gutierrez
discussion,
I'm
hurdles
that
people
say
any
opposed,
not
heard
not
seeing
motion
carries
citizens
comments.
I
believe
we
have
one
gentleman
here
that
signed
up
jose
el
salvadors
for
public
comment.
I
think
you
have
an
agenda
item
too
and
we'll
ask
you
to
come
forward
good
afternoon.
E
Mayor
judge
welcome
to
commissioners,
everybody
present
a
very
brief
comments.
There
are
three
items
on
the
agenda
that
I
want
to
speak
to
item
four
e
discussion
possible
action
on
allocating
category
category.
Seven
funds
in
the
amount
of
million
dollars
towards
world
trade
bridge
expansion
project,
obviously
we're
supportive
of
that.
I'm
with
the
fattiest
development,
fascinating
ranch.
A
lot
of
our
investment
is
in
that
realm
of
of
the
city
or
that
territory
as
well
item
4g
discussion
possible
action,
river
road.
E
We
also
support
the
proposal
by
the
rma
to
join
you
and
and
studying
that
we
think
it's
it's.
It
could
alleviate
particularly
obviously
passenger
traffic
in
the
area
and
the
next
item
4-h
discussion,
possible
action
with
the
acharya
ruth
and
your
road
project,
obviously
long
incoming.
We
also
support
anything
that
you
can
do
to
to
to
move
that
towards
construction.
E
E
Part
of
our
our
concern
with
having
potentially
multiple
presidential
permits
is
the
fact
that
we
we
tend
to
lose
ground
and
get
distracted,
and
so
I
urge
the
mpo
and
and
the
city
and
and
any
other
players
involved
txdot
to
assist
in
moving
moving
that
permit
forward.
Obviously,
you're
trying
to
put
some
federal
funds
to
to
accommodate
the
process
that
will
accelerate
the
permitting.
We
urge
you
to
to
do
what
you
can
to
identify
those
resources
within
the
city
to
move
that
project
ahead,
without
that
it
will
take
longer
it
already.
E
We
already
know
that
that
that
process
for
the
permit
for
the
expansion
is
probably
a
couple
of
years
away
just
by
by
standard
protocols,
so
we
urge
urge
you,
as
a
city,
to
identify
the
funding
to
federalize
funding
to
move
that
ahead.
So
those
are
my
comments.
Thank
you
very
much
for
for
the
for
the
time.
Thank.
A
A
Okay,
there's
a
motion
to
to
to
proceed
with
the
the
approval.
Is
there
a
second
seconded
by
reuben
gutierrez
discussion,
unheard
of
was
in
favor,
say
hi,
any
opposed,
not
heard
not
seeing
motion
carries
unanimously.
Thank
you.

B
A
G
A
Yeah
hold
on
just
for
the
record.
I
would
like
to
abstain
from
anything
on
the
highway
359,
which
I
think
it's
item
five
and
and
sixteen
just
just
for
the
record.
We
own
some
property
on
highway
359,
and
I
want
to
be
clear
that
I
don't
wanna,
discuss
that
or
or
at
least
a
much
less
vote
on
it.
We'll.
G
You
so
basically,
what
we're
doing
is
we're
cleaning
up
a
couple
of
items
on
the
step,
there's
a
couple
of
definitions
that
we
changed
on
rutherford.
Instead
of
calling
it
furniture
oil
to
colorful
and
divided
for
federal
fund
purposes.
That's
the
main
issue.
Item
number
one:
we
added
to
one
million
dollars
for
the
cat,
seven
dollars
for
the
expansion
of
world
trade
bridge
item
number
yeah.
D
B
B
There
will
be
a
discussion
item
further
in
the
meeting
to
talk
about
allocating
some
funds,
but
when
a
someone
in
the
mpo
boundary
such
as
city,
they
come
forward
to
us
with
a
project
that
they
intend
to
build
within
these
tip
years,
which
they're
estimating
to
let
it
in
fy
2024
and
we're
able
to
add
that
project
to
the
tip
it's
originally
significant
project.
So
all
of
a
sudden.
B
D
B
A
A
D
B
G
Teenage
things
yes,
sir
and
item
two
and
three
are
basically
a
reclassification
or
changing
of
the
wording
from
a
new
location,
location,
construction's,
rolling,
divided,
we're
just
changing
the
verbiage
on
that
item.
Number
four
is
where
we
attach
the
2.34
million
dollars
that
came
from
the
corona
response.
Relief
supplement
appropriation
act,
taking
the
dollar
amount
from
26.7
to
28,
for
this
is
for
ruth
and
charcha
item
number
five.
We
went
ahead
and
added
some
additional
writer
11
funds
that
the
taxa
gets
appropriated.
G
This
is
for
the
five
lanes
divided
on
fm
359
item
number
six
through
number
ten,
that
is
a
project
on
loop,
20
I-69
is
going
to
get
that's
going
to
get
constructed
here
shortly
and
go
to
leading
all
we're
doing
here
is
we're
adjusting
the
final
dollars.
As
you
recall,
we
had
total
dollar
amounts
in
the
bridge
construction
and
the
roadway
construction.
No
additional
funds,
no
new
funds,
we're
just
kind
of
allocating
to
the
proper
function.
So
we
can
get
that
project
completed.
G
Item
number
11
again
is
a
text
out
project.
This
is
where
we're
getting
direct
connector
number
three.
We
are
direct
connected
number
three
is
south
35
southbound
toward
east
loop
20
and
we're
adding,
because
we
got
the
additional
funds
about
two
years
ago-
we're
adding
the
right,
connector
35
northbound
to
east
loop
20..
G
The
only
thing
we're
doing
here
is
we're
being
asked
to
move
to
a
fiscal
year
landing
of
2026,
so
we're
pushing
it
back
a
couple
of
years
just
to
get
that
constructed
and
designed
nothing
changes
there
and
then
items
12
through
number
14
is
the
southern
extension
of
luke
20,
which
is
going
to
be
the
intersection
at
jacqueline
at
the
airport,
and
all
we're
doing
here
is
that
we're
able
to
secure
textile
dollars
in
the
amount
of
34.1
we're
just
adding
those
to
those
projects.
So
we
can
keep
complete
those
projects.
G
G
J
F
J
Then,
as
you
mentioned,
that
it
actually
totals
21.5
million
in
category
11
right
11b,
those
projects
that
are
currently
already
inside
the
four-year
tip
that
we
identified
funding
caps
on,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
they
stay
there
and
our
priorities
for
the
for
the
region.
So
we're
using
text
out
funds
to
to
fill
the
gaps
on
those
projects
to
make
sure
we
we
leave
them
where
they
are.
G
A
F
J
J
D
J
Right
and
I
want
to
reiterate
that
these
are
all
projects
that
are
currently
in
the
step
already.
They're
currently
have
support
schematics,
they
have
psn
development,
they
have
environmental
clearance,
already
underway
some
already
completed,
which
is
why
we
chose
those
projects
to
allocate
those
funds
too.
B
Public
hearing
just
to
address
some
of
especially
hitting
us
questions
about
the
world
trade
bridge,
adding
this
project
to
the
mpo
documents,
it's
an
important
step
for
the
entire
project
development
phase.
Fhwa
for
them
to
be
able
to
you
know,
actually
are
taking
this
project.
They
want
to
see
originally
significant
projects
such
as
this
added
to
these
documents,
even
if
it
doesn't
have
federal
funding,
that's
an
important
step
in
the
whole
entire
project,
development
phase
and.
D
J
So
judge
I
think
I
can
help
you
clarify
that,
so
what
we're
looking
at
here
is
the
tip
right,
which
is
the
four-year
window.
That
project
is
in
our
in
our
long-range
plan.
It
currently
is
not
funded,
so
it
does
not
reside
inside
the
four-year
tip,
which
is
why
we
don't
have
to
do
the
revision,
but
it
is
a
project,
that's
programmed.
It
is
a
project
that
we
are
competing
for
funds
and,
as
we
will
discuss
later,
is
a
project
we're
going
to
ask
the
mpo
to
prioritize,
so
they
can
compete
for
dollars
again.
B
B
D
A
A
Yes,
sir
yeah,
we
had
a
yeah
does
this.
We
have
an
agenda
item
too.
That
speaks
to
that,
but
I
guess
this
kind
of
lends
itself
as
well.
You
know
my
understanding
was
that
that
to
do
an
environmental
study,
we
need
for
it
to
be
placed
on
this
tip
for
federal
recognition,
not
that
you
know
we'll
get
some
monies.
You
know
there's
going
to
be
a
minimum
amount,
but
all
we
need
is
to
qualify
for
the
for
the
u.s
highway
transportation.
A
K
The
rules
changed
relative
to
presidential,
permitting
in
early
2019.,
the
exact
there
was
an
executive
order
issued
that
altered
the
way
presidential
permits
were
reviewed
and
issued,
and
also
the
way
their
environmental
clearances
were
issued
and
the
timing
for
it,
and
that's
also
going
to
change
now
again.
It
hasn't
yet
it.
K
So,
anyway,
when
the
executive
order
was
issued,
it
removed
the
requirement
for
the
department
of
state
to
be
the
authority
over
the
environmental
clearance
of
a
project.
It
also
reversed
the
order
in
which
the
environmental
clearance
was
to
be
done
relative
to
the
presidential
permit,
so
it
allowed
the
presidential
permit
application
to
be
submitted
up
front
and
the
presidential
permit
to
be
approved
with
the
agreement
that
all
other
permitting
would
be
done,
but
it
did
not
define
who
would
be
the
responsible
agency
on
the
federal
side
for
the
environmental
clearance
in
the
last
time
period.
K
What
that
does
is
when
the
presidential
permit
is
issued,
and
we
and
the
city
has
authorized
our
firm
to
create
the
president's
tournament
application
and
be
submitted
first
of
april
this
year,
so
that
when
the
presidential
permit
is
issued
and
or
before
we
can
begin
the
environmental
clearance
process,
because
the
fhwa
now
has
an
ability
to
participate,
this
money
would
be,
I
believe,
construction
funding.
It's
not
necessarily
preliminary
engineering,
but
the
city
is
funding
all
the
upfront
engineering
funding.
A
B
A
minimum
to
win
we're
recommending
just
a
million
dollars
from
category
seven
and
said
not
to
exceed
one
million
likes.
That's
an
a
separate
action
item,
okay
and
then
that
I
know
you
mentioned
smokey
that
would
be
listed.
But
that
would
be
a
separate
amendment
because
once
that's
awarded,
then
there's
still
conversations
between
tax
dod
and
the
project
sponsor
to
make
sure
to
enter
into
the
afa
and
all
that.
So
that
would
be
that's
a
proof
and
that
would
be
done
in
a
subsequent
amendment
right
now.
B
A
A
A
Yeah-
and
I
guess
two
judges-
I
know
we're-
you
know
it's-
this
expansion
versus
a
four
five
and
we've
been
having
these
discussions
throughout
for
years.
I
think,
but
rest
assured,
I
mean
the
community
from
the
standpoint
of
the
city,
and
I
think
we
you
saw
that
you
know
we're
committed
to
both
projects.
Both
projects
are
high
priority
projects
so
granted.
Maybe
this
came
first
simply
because
it
it
it's
more
aligned.
A
I
think
the
four
five
is
also
a
huge
high
priority
for
us
as
well,
but
we
all
know
that
it
is
going
to
take
a
little
time
to
develop
all
the
infrastructure
and
get
that
started.
We
do
plan
to
visit
in
mexico
to
discuss
both
both
and,
of
course,
you're.
You
know
you're
invited
you're
there.
You
know
you'll
be
there,
alongside
with
the
city
as
well
or
us,
alongside
with
the
county.
A
And
again,
let's,
let's,
let's
understand,
I
think,
for
the
public
say:
let's
put
this
aside,
both
projects
are
very,
very
important
to
us.
We
recognize
that
that
you
all
have
an
interest
in
the
four
five.
The
city
has
recognized
that
judge
so
we're
in
the
process.
As
you
know,
of
trying
to
develop
some
sort
of
a
governmental.
A
A
You
know
we
need
to
move
forward
and
I
would
ask
that
we
we
take
it
in
that
light
of
full
cooperation
from
both
entities,
the
city
and
the
county,
yeah
we're
here
side
by
side,
judge
and
since
the
very
beginning
since
you-
and
I
started-
you
know
our
well
at
least
our
10
years
here
at
least
mine.
I
know
you've
been
at
it
longer
than
I
have.
A
D
But
then
the
city
council
decided
to
go
ahead
and
do
it
on
ponder
cells.
So
what
you're
saying
doesn't
come
out?
Your
actions
are
speaking,
are
very
different
than
your
words
are
speaking
very
differently.
Your
actions,
and
you
know
you're
saying
that
it's
the
same.
Well,
all
I'm
asking-
and
I
agree,
the
expansion
of
the
bridge
is:
if
that's
what
y'all
want
to
do,
I
already
told
you
I'm
not
going
to
ever
go
against
it
and
that's
something
that
needs
to
be
done.
D
A
As
far
as
the
city
was
was
not
pleasant,
you
know
obviously
for
the
county
yeah,
but
I,
but
that
was
the
way
it
kind
of
came
about
with
with
council
members
as
well
and
and
council,
and
I
don't
want
to
throw
in
council
member
gutierrez
thought
he
was
very
much
present
there
as
well.
So
you
know,
ultimately,
the
city
did
recognize
that
the
county
is
very
much
part
of
his
this
four
five
bridge
in
operation
and
development
there
so
rest
assured
the
county.
The
city
has
made
a
decision.
A
But
but
I
was
figuring
we
visit
first
with
all
the
stakeholders
in
mexico
city
and
in
washington,
and
then
we
know
more
that's
what
what
timeline
we're
all
pursuing
the
timeline
here
in
the
city
has
been
said.
Basically,
you
know
even
before
you
know
we
concluded
the
four
or
five
plans
with
the
county,
so
that's
that's,
basically
our
side
and
and
an
apology.
I
apologize
publicly
judge,
but
you
know
it.
G
We
do
have
an
opportunity
to
revise
those,
so
2124
we've
been
working
on
these
projects
for
the
past
two
years.
You
know
21
22,
those
are
important
ones.
Those
are
the
ones
that
are
coming
up
the
new
20
project.
We
can
come
back
and
revise
them.
I
understand
the
the
judge's
concern
about
the
seller
so
later
on
the
agenda.
G
Now
we
give
funding
for
those
projects
sometime
in
august,
when
it's
approved
by
transportation
commission
to
fund
those
projects.
You
can
bet
we're
going
to
revise
this.
This
tip
once
more
and
get
those
projects
under
it's
just
hard
on
the
text
dot
on
our
half
to
get
those
funded
apartheid
running
funding,
so
we're
hoping
that
once
we
get
this
prioritizing
priorities
and
our
projects
in
line
and
we
get
funding
in
august,
we
can
come
back
to
you
and
revise
the
tip
here
we
go.
G
We
got
this
funny
we're
going
to
prioritize
the
southern
extension
of
the
loop,
we're
going
to
prioritize
the
auto
loop
for
bridge
45,
so
there's
an
opportunity
coming
up.
What
we're
trying
to
do
right
now
is.
We
should
try
to
get
this
tip
approved,
so
we
can
move
forward
this
project
and
while
I
do
understand
your
concern,
just
remember
that
there
is
time
to
revise-
and
there
is
time
to
prioritize-
and
there
is
time
for
additional
funds
to
come.
A
B
B
A
A
B
A
B
So
this
is
also
a
public
hearing
and
the
action
would
be
to
initiate
a
10-day
public
review
and
comment
period.
This
is
just
to
make
those
revisions
that
we
just
discussed
for
the
tip
to
make
that
in
the
2020
2045
metropolitan
transportation
plan
again
the
addition
of
project
csj,
0922
33213,
intended
to
provide
for
preliminary
engineering
and
construction
for
the
expansion
of
the
existing
world
trade
bridge.
The
estimated
construction
cost
is
12
million,
with
an
estimated
total
project.
A
A
B
So
obvious,
so
you
need
a
motion
to
yeah,
so
these
amendments
that
right
now
we're
opening
the
public
review
period.
For
to
close,
we
need
to
have
a
second
meeting
to
approve
the
resolution
of
proving
these
amendments
okay
and
receive
any
testimony
that's
received
during
that
common
period.
All
these
amendments
that
we
want
to
meet
the
february
revision
for
the
stip
have
to
be.
B
They
have
to
be
approved
prior
to
february
11th,
so
we're
asking
that
there
be
a
special
meeting
the
second
week
of
february,
but
prior
to
february
11th
I
ran
out.
I
know,
there's
availability
on
the
7th
and
the
8th
at
1
30.,
but
there
might
be
other
options
too,
but
we
wanted
to
have
a
discussion
to
see
when
the
committee
would
be
available
to
come
back.
It
should
be
a
very
brief
public
meeting
to
approve
the
resolutions
and
just
receive
the
comments
that
were
received
during
the
common
period.
B
F
A
B
That's
correct:
the
sources
of
funding
can
be
from
any
federal
sources.
Category
seven
funds
are
the
ones
that
the
mpo
has
discretion
over.
So
we
wanted
to
help
to
move
this
forward.
That
is
the
way
the
mpo
could
help
right.
Now,
there's
no
minimum
requirement
for
the
federal
for
us
to
provide
for
the
federal
participation
to
kick
in,
but
it
does
have
to
be.
You
know
serious,
it's
not!
B
B
B
B
A
J
J
A
And
not
along
just
for
the
public's,
like
you
know
the
city
of
laredo,
to
finance
it's
its
portion
of
the
world
trade
bridge.
So
it's
it's
not!
You
know
it's
not
like
we're.
You
know
going
to
be
taking
from
other
projects
and
we're
doing
this
simply
because
we
need
to
get
the
federal
highway
department
to
the
federal
highway.
I
guess
department
yeah
from
washington
to
to
get
them
involved
to
the
minimal
extent,
and
so
they
can
do
the
environmental
study
on
that
world
trade
bridge
expansion
will
appreciate.
A
F
A
Let
me
see
where
are
we
f,
my
discussion
and
recommendation
and
yeah?
Hopefully
yeah
and
passion,
maybe
unanimously?
Yes,
a
discussion
and
recommendation
on
improving
our
resolution.
Mpo
202201
we're
adopting
and
supporting
the
texas
department
of
transportation's
2022
targets
for
the
following
federal
safety,
performance
measures
and
there's
a
five
elements:
there:
a
number
of
traffic
fatalities,
rate
of
fatalities
per
100
million
vehicles,
miles
traveled,
a
number
of
serious
injuries,
rate
of
serious
injuries
per
100
million
vehicles,
miles
traveled
number
of
non-motorized
fatalities
and
non-motorized
serious
injuries.
Yes,
sir,.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
So
this
is
a
federal
requirement.
These
targets
are
set
by
the
state
and
they're
updated
every
year
as
a
five-year
rolling
average.
I
have
a
table
up
on
the
screen.
It's
also
in
your
packet
again.
These
are
federally
required.
The
states
require
to
set
these
targets
and
update
them
every
year
using
a
linear
trend,
and
the
mpo
is
just
asked
that
we,
you
know,
support
these
targets
and
incorporate
them
in
our
planning
activities.
You
need
an
emotion,
yes,.
A
A
B
Right
at
this
yeah
I'll
show
you
chart
in
here,
but
for
railroad.
Also
right
now,
I
know
our
legal
team
is
working
with
the
army's
legal
team
to
see
how
the
mpo
can
participate
in
the
railroad
study
with
the
rma
by
using
their
procured,
gec,
so
they're,
just
making
sure
on
the
legalities
of
that
once
that's
confirmed,
we'll
come
back
and
we'll
discuss
it
with
the
technical
committee
and
then
bring
a
recommendation
to
the
policy
committee
to
ask
if
you
would
like
to
participate
in
that
study.
A
G
J
No
so,
yes,
currently,
construction
is
slated
for
august
of
2023
utilizing
these
capstone
funds
that
I
just
mentioned
earlier.
Environmental
clearance
should
be
obtained
by
september
of
this
year,
and
we
have
we
had
a
kickoff
meeting
actually
with
the
consultant
yesterday
to
kick
off
the
design.
So
design
is
already
underway.
A
L
L
Arturo
dominguez,
george,
beckelheimer
and
tony
odyssey,
so
thank
you,
gentlemen,
for
coming
and
melissa
montemayor
from
hmtv
is
here
in
your
agenda
packet.
We
included,
updates
on
seven
projects
that
we're
working
on
if
you've
looked
through
them.
I'm
available
to
answer
any
questions
for
the
sake
of
getting
through
these
meetings
more
quickly,
we're
trying
to
be
as
thorough
as
we
can
be
for
you
to
read
up.
But
if
you
have
questions
I'm
here
to
answer
and.
D
L
A
You
appreciate
you
guys
thank
you
and
I
feel
the
same
way
as
well.
Thank
you
for
that
for
all
the
great
work
you
all
are
doing.
Thank
you.
Yes,
I
think
there's
really
a
you
know
when
the
rma
started.
When
I
had
a
little
bit
of
history,
it
was
kind
of
shaky
at
first
returned
to,
but
now
through
all
of
y'all's
leadership.
I
think
we
truly
have
a
good
working
relationship
and
we
appreciate
that
very
much.
That's.
A
I
H
H
H
H
The
project
leading
like
we
informed
before
by
the
august
of
this
year
and
construction
phase
services
complete
by
august
of
2024
at
this
moment
we're
working
with
a
utility
relocation
along
the
project
site
on
this
one
ap,
a
t
and
the
spectrum.
All
the
utility
lines
are
being
relocated
and
we're
expecting
for
their
crews.
To
finish
by
the
end
of
this
month,
and
hopefully,
by
the
beginning
of
next
month,
due
to
the
rain
and
the
weather.
H
The
center
point-
energy-
they
don't
have
to
do
any
relocations.
They
they
got
the
clearance
because
not
adjustment
is
required
and
the
serial
radar
utilities
department,
the
water
and
waste
water
lines
are
going
to
get
relocated
within
the
project
bid
package
and
in
reference
of
their
right-of-way
coordination.
H
Some
of
the
fences
are
being
relocated,
especially
by
ap,
and
the
other
property
owners
were
still
in
communication
because
they
haven't
done
the
movement
of
their
fences,
their
right-of-way
encroachments.
We
have
some
floodlights
and
ap
is
coordinating
with
the
owners
to
do
the
relocation
of
the
removal
of
these
flood
lights
and,
like
I
said,
ap,
is
working
on
relocating
their
fence
into
the
real
estate
section.
H
H
H
H
H
H
What
is
in
reference
to
the
navigable
water
protection
rule,
the
ephemeral
streams
are
no
longer
considered
waters
of
the
u.s,
so
we
don't
have
to
get
a
permit
section
of
404
permit
of
the
clean
water
act,
and
if
this
one
is
not
required,
we
don't
need
a
mitigation
plan.
So,
based
on
this
assessment,
we
have
two
options:
option
number
one
is
to
document
this
assessment
in
the
project
file.
H
We
have
to
coordinate
with
text
dot
and
if
they
are
in
agreement,
then
we
can
finish
and
then
we
can
start
going
up
for
bids
in
case
that
we
need
to
do
more
work.
Then
it's
option
number
two,
that
is
to
request
an
approved
jurisdictional
determination
from
the
corps
of
engineers
to
get
an
official
determination
of
traditional
jurisdictional
status.
H
J
J
That
would
have
allowed
me
for
a
little
bit
more
coordination,
but
unfortunately
I
wasn't
able
to
to
get
scheduled
so
we're
coming
to
you
here
to
provide
you
just
a
glimpse
of
the
current
products
that
are
on
the
list.
Answer
any
questions
you
may
have,
and
then,
as
mr
medieva
mentioned
after
that
the
technical
committee
members
and
the
policy
committee
members
for
the
mpo
will
be
receiving
the
survey.
M
Correct
good
afternoon,
roberto
rodriguez
would
text
that
what
I'm
going
to
do,
I'm
going
to
go
through
down
the
list
of
the
projects.
Some
some
of
you
all
may
be
familiar
with
these
projects
and
you
may
not.
If
you
got
any
questions,
I
can
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
map
and
tell
you
the
exact
location
of
this
these
projects,
so
you
can
be
more
familiar
with
it
and,
like
mr
m
mandeva
mentioned
he'll
send
the
survey
you
know
afterwards,
so
you
can
rank
these
projects.
M
The
first
project
we
have
is
the
quattro
vientos
extension,
that's
from
mangana
hein,
all
the
way
to
rio,
raven
the
loop
20
for
quattrovinos
extension.
That's
one
of
the
projects.
The
second
project
that
we
have
is
the
one
of
the
segments
of
the
auto
loop,
the
radar
loop.
It's.
This
is
a
segment
between
us,
59
and
state
highway
at
255.
M
M
M
Our
next
project
shown
right
here,
it's
us-59,
and
this
is
the
first
portion
from
passing
about
three
miles:
west
east
of
arkansas
street.
When
you
have
the
the
the
look
a
little
before
loop
20.,
we
go
all
the
way
to
seven
miles
west
of
28
95.
This
is
also
wine
in
us
59
to
get
it
ready
for
I-69
freeway
in
the
future
and
the
next
one.
We
have
it's
on
35.
M
It's
this
project,
it's
a
one
mile
north
of
us
83
to
about
seven
miles
north.
This
is
just
a
little
the
short
of
the
border
patrol
station.
This
is
widening
the
interstate
35
from
from
three
two
lanes
in
each
direction
to
three
lanes
on
each
direction.
Make
it
a
total
of
six
things
discontinuing
with
with
our
six
lane
freeway
on
the
way
through
then
the
next
project.
You
you
see
it's
with
csj
86
1610.
M
This
is
the
loop
20
projects.
This
is
the
on
overpass
at
sierra
vista,
the
other.
The
next
one
is
the
overpass
at
lomas
del
sur.
That's
another
interchange
that
we're
we
have
as
a
project.
That's
listed,
you
know
soon,
our
next
project,
you
know
the
circular
1805
098.
This
is
our
winding
of
carriers.
Bridge
drive
bridge
right
there,
just
south
of
achar.
M
M
M
The
next
project,
it's
by
seagull
road.
This
is
the
the
new
roadway
between
fm
1472
and
35,
which
has
been
the
developed
by
the
rna,
our
next
segment.
It's
on
35,
it's
a
the
location
of
knight
point
is
for
8.3
miles
south
of
lasalle
county
line
to
9.8
this
segment,
it
does
does
include
part
of
the
checkpoint.
This
is
the
same
thing
continuing
on
35
from
bringing
it
from
four
to
six
lanes.
M
M
The
next
project
is
18609.
This
is
the
interchange
of
luke
20.
At
the
silito
lindo
south
side,
then
we
have
cersei
1806
196..
This
is
the
winding
of
what
we
call
the
united
avenue
overpass.
This
is
the
the
overpass
just
north
of
luke
20
that
we
expect
that
connection
to
the
to
the
east
side.
You
know
in
the
future
for
future
development.
M
M
We
have
to
break
the
35
in
three
projects,
because
that's
how
our
control
section
is
broken
down
and
and
that
that
way
we
can
have
the
the
construction
can
be.
A
lot
can
be
broken
down
into
into
three
segments.
So
so
that's
why
you
see
35
in
three
different
areas,
so
we
can
be
widening
segments
of
it.
M
D
Wake
up
there
sunshine
all
right
here
we
go
thanks
doc,
mr
radel,
salazar.
I
appreciate
everything
you
guys
are
doing
a
really
good
job
and
obviously
I
have
a
little
vested
interest
on
one
particular.
I
mean
all
of
them,
but
I
have
one
where
I
have
to
drive
home
on
every
day.
You
guys
have
been
really
good
on
everything.
D
D
I'm
just
blaming
it
on
the
fact
that
you
know
with
the
heavy
fog
and
whatnot
I'm
telling
you
you
go
a
little
bit
and
it's
your
little.
Your
vehicle
is
just
bouncing
around
and
I'd
like
to
say
I
have
a
new
vehicle
and
it's
a
pretty
smooth
ride,
but
it
still
bounces
around.
So,
if
there's
anything
that
they
could
do
on
that
either
strip
it
completely
off
or
something
where
it's
almost
the
bare
minimum,
but
you're
talking
about
big
differences
in
in
in
the
in
the
in
the
elevations
there.
D
So
I
don't
know
what
else
you
can
do,
but
I
do
appreciate
everything
that
y'all
are
doing
and
I'm
a
very
big,
obviously
advocate
of
all
this
and
more.
I
want
to
see
future
growth
and
I
want
to
see
all
this
growing
as
much
as
you
know.
We
don't
want
to
see
it.
We
don't
want
to
see
construction,
but
then
we
all
want
everything
now
so,
but
this
is.
This
is
really
good
for
all
of
us
here
in
what
county
and
radio.
So
if
I
could
just
make
that
point,
please.
D
What
I
called
you
back
on
the
other
day
outstanding
they
worked
on
that
really
quick.
I
appreciate
that,
but
I'm
just
now
kind
of
it's
just
so
uneven.
It's
very
dangerous!
That's
if
you
want
to
take
a
drive
out
there.
Just
be
careful!
I
don't
know
if
you
want
to
tell
your
construction
guys
to
go
ahead
and
take
it
all
off
or
you'll
know
exactly
what
I'm
talking
about
when
you're
on
it.
G
So
judge,
if
you
let
me
know,
thank
you
for
that
call
and
comment.
I
appreciate
that
so
you
know
the
toughest
part
about
the
construction
on
the
narrow
road
we
like
that
and
the
amount
of
traffic
is
that
you
have
to
face
it
out.
So
rest
assured,
before
we
pull
off
of
there
continue.
There
will
be
one
more
final
cap
all
the
way
across
that
should
catch
some
of
that
roughness.
On
the
bottom
layers.
I
know
we
have
a
difficult
time
trying
to
face
the
workout
because
of
the
two
lanes.
G
The
the
reason
for
that
project
was
that
the
payment
structure
itself
had
outlasted
its
life,
so
we
hadn't
rebuilt
it.
I
know
we
get
a
lot
of
questions.
Why
didn't
you
just
go
to
49
divided?
We
didn't
have
the
funds
at
that
point
but
to
to
answer
your
question.
There
will
be
a
final
cap
across
the
whole
thing
once
we
are
completed,
so
you
will
get
some
of
that
smoothness
on
that
final
ride.
So
we
will
take
care
of
that.
G
D
I'm
sorry
about
making
myself
clear:
it's
not
really
the
final
top
that
I
understand
that
you're
going
to
do
all
that.
It's
where
we're
doing
we're
driving
on
right
now,
which
are
stripping
off
of
because
they're.
Obviously
there
there's
two
lanes
and
then
there's
two
lanes
that
are
barricaded
right.
The
two
lanes
that
you're
driving
on
it's
just
it's
very
dangerous
I've
seen
I've
definitely
looked
at
I'm
driving
too
much
that
I've
seen
cars
literally
come
off
the
highway
or
literally
kind
of
hit
that
barricade
or
even
clip
each
other.
D
You
know,
obviously
the
last
big
accident
that
we
had
was
2
18
wheelers
and
they
just
literally
just
I
mean
we
will
look
at
that.
So
if
you
guys
could
just
they're
doing
a
great
job
I
don't
want
to.
I
do
not
want
anybody,
think
that
I'm
I'm
mistaking
this
by
you
know
trying
to
be
ugly
or
rude
here.
No
by
no
means
I
just
we
just
got
to
make
it
a
little
safer
for
our
drivers.
Please
thank
you.
B
Yeah
with
that
being
said,
you
mentioned,
you
know
safety
and
when
we
send
out
the
server
you'll
see
that
we
just
ask
you
to
consider
safety,
you
know
how
this
is
going
to
how
the
projects
improve
safety
in
the
region,
how
they
reduce
congestion.
Now
they
provide
a
mobility
equity,
so
just
to
keep
those
things
in
mind
when
you're
scoring
these
projects
we'll
be
sending
that
survey
out
after
the
after
this
meeting.
Look
if
it's.
F
F
B
G
L
L
G
B
Survey
will
include
a
space
where
you
can
add
other
projects
to
be
considered.
That
way.
Tech
stock
can
have
that
what
text.
needs
this
for
is.
They
need
the
mpos
feedback,
so
we
want
to
just
make
sure
to
provide
them.
That
there'll
be
a
space
on
there.
Like
I
mentioned
so
you
can
provide
other
projects
like
railroad,
but
the
reason
I
think
right
now,
it's
not
there.
It's
because
you
said
it's
not
currently
on
system.
J
Yeah
I
just
wanted
for
expand
to
yeah
stan
system.
You
don't
currently
have
an
associated
csj
like
last
year,
when
we
added
by
seo,
we
actually
created
the
csj
and
allocated
the
funding
that
the
city
and
rma
had
allocated
to
it,
which
you
see
on
the
list.
Like
mr
salazar
mentioned,
I
believe
we
did
have
one
project
drop
off,
which
is
direct,
connector
number
six,
and
only
because
we
actually
talked
about
it
earlier.
J
That
mr
salazar
mentioned
that
that
got
added
on
to
the
csj
that
that
housed
dc
number
three,
so
we're
able
to
actually
accelerate
that
construction,
and
what
we
also
did
is
the
leading
estimates
you
will
notice.
If
you're
going
to
compare
this
from
last
year,
we
went
back
and
updated
all
the
estimates
so
every
year
that
we
go
and
ask
for
funds,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
asking
for
current
dollars
with
their
current
scopes
on
those
projects.
So
we
did
update
those
lists.
Estimates
as
well
perfect.
L
D
B
No,
I
just
wanted
to
add
that
right
now,
we're
undergoing
that
audit
that
had
been
requested
before
text.
has
initiated
that
and
they've
been
talking
to
staff
they
might
might
want
to
reach
out
to
policy
committee
members
who
will
be
in
communication
with
you
if
they
desire
to
speak
with
policy
committee
members,
that's
underway
right
now.
I
think
they're
looking
to
have
a
report
ready
by
by
april.
Very
well.
That's
all
I
have
for
comments
we'll
send
you
out
the
correspondence
for
that
special
meeting
on
the
8th
motion.
