Description
Port of Entry Advisory Committee Meeting 091521
B
C
D
D
Yeah
well
or
anything,
you
know
thank
you
for
giving
me
the
opportunity
to
be
here
and
I
just
want
to
let
y'all
know
you
know
I
kind
of
got
caught
off
base
on
this,
because
I
thought
this
deal
was.
You
know
a
thing
of
the
past.
I
remember
reading
everything
about
it.
You
know
a
couple
of
years
ago
where
the
a
m
university.
D
E
D
And
well,
I
know
that
the
customs
brokers
association
was
firmly
against
it.
You
know
back
in
the
day
the
motor
carriers
association
was
against
it
back
in
the
day
you
know,
and
and
us
customs
it's
like
a
big
huge
machine
that
just
digests
tons
and
tons
of
information,
and
it
takes
lots
and
lots
of
manpower.
D
You
know
I
just
I
just
I
what
I
don't
know
I
mean
I
don't
know
what
the
benefits
are
of
having
a
bridge
in
south
laredo
and
I'm
all
ears,
and
that's
why
I'm
here
at
this
meeting,
because
I
want
to
hear
you
know
what
everybody's
opinion
is.
I'm
all
ears.
I
need
to
be
educated,
but
you
know
when
I
think
about
the
past.
D
D
D
But
what
is
the
benefit
you
know
the
benefit
of
something
beautiful
is
that
we
actually
have
a
whole
sector,
which
is
the
mines
road
that
extends
from
world
trade
bridge
or
I-35
all
the
way
to
colombia.
That's
a
sector,
that's
a
beautiful
sector.
You
know,
there's
an
area
right
there.
Yes,
that
there's
residential
and
and
guess
what
you
know
we
built
world
trade
bridge
there
and
I
saw
I
saw
the
city
flourish.
D
I
saw
investment
come
in
by
the
billions
I've
seen
the
most
beautiful
warehouses,
I've
ever
seen.
In
fact,
it
doesn't
fit
in
my
head
how
these
warehouses
is
expensive
as
they
are,
are
there,
but
guess
what
people
were
willing
to
invest,
because
that
spot
was
the
spot
that
was
correct
and
proper
for
the
future
I
mean
nobody
has
an
industrial
area.
The
way
we
do
we're
blessed.
D
D
D
D
D
D
D
That's
going
to
make
the
carriers
invest
in
laredo.
That's
going
to
make
all
the
international
companies
come
to
loretto
and
build.
You
know
when
somebody
comes
over
here
and
they
see
the
kilim
industrial
park
and
they
see
all
these
warehouses.
People
are
impressed,
including
myself,
you
know
cbp,
like
I
said
I
was
getting
to
the
point
that
they're
a
big
giant
machine.
D
D
And
what
are
we
thinking
about
we're
thinking
about
sending
one
piece
of
that
personnel
down
to
south
laredo,
which
is
as
far
away
as
in
cinahl
or
catoola?
It
probably
takes
it'll
take
this
long
to
get
from
from
the
mines
road
to
that
area
in
south
florida
right
now,
as
long
as
it
takes
to
get
from
laredo
to
katula.
D
D
You
know,
I
can't
see
the
federal
government.
You
know
manning
the
customs
area
down
in
south
laredo.
D
G
D
Okay,
I
said:
what's
the
deal
he
says:
look
las
vegas
is
it's
a
concentrated
area
of
nothing
but
the
best
casinos
and
the
most
expensive
buildings
and
the
nicest
casinos
in
the
world
you
fly
in
there.
You
know
what
you
don't
see
a
single
house,
nothing,
but
you
know
what
you
go
there
and
you
keep
on
going
back
because
you
say
that's
they've
got
it,
they
figured
it
out
there.
D
Because
they
concentrated
everything
in
an
area
where
all
the
people,
no
matter
where
they
are,
they
can
come
there
and
work
they're,
not
going.
You
know,
they're,
not
things
aren't
split
up
over
there.
You
see
casinos
that
are
10
miles
from
the
area
and
you
see
tumbleweeds,
but
you
get
in
the
core
area
and
it
just.
I
guess
it's
just
a
perfect
example
of
what
you
can
do
when
you
concentrate
your
resources,
do
not
dilute
your
resources,
concentrate
them
make
laredo
the
best
port.
There
is.
D
You
know
I
have
not
heard
you
know,
I'm
ready
to
hear
the
opinions
from
you
know
the
custom
brokers
and
the
regular
motor
carriers.
D
Those
are
the
people
who
are
inside
the
space
shuttle
that
drives
our
trade.
Those
are
them
nobody
else.
Everybody
else
has
their
opinions,
but
they're
on
the
outside.
Looking
in,
we
are
in
the
inside
in
the
driver's
seat,
so
those
entities
are
the
entities
that
really
need
to
weigh
onto
you
know
what
decision
we
should
make.
D
D
Is
that
the
reason
why
it's
going
yeah?
That's
the
reason
why
we
come
up
with
anything
in
north
laredo
by
god?
We
need
to
get
texas
a
m
to
pick
a
spot,
or
we
pick
a
spot
and
say
you
know
what,
if
we
put
our
bridge
right
here,
how's
this
going
to
affect
our
future
versus.
If
we
have
a
bridge
in
south
laredo.
H
B
H
J
A
We
need
that
passion.
Mr
thank
you.
We
are
welcome,
mr
richard
approval
for
the
we're
gonna
go,
I'm
going
to
move
to
item
number
four
approval
of
the
minutes.
Okay,
I'm
thank
you.
Emotional.
L
H
K
A
I
think
in
this
meeting
we
should
open
to
the
public
comments
and
then
take
care
of
the
public.
H
M
So
I
just
want
to
make
it
clear
of
the
opinion
that
we
have
not
brought
up
the
decision
as
far
as
that,
we're
moving
forward
to
you
know
going
with
the
the
the
new
bridge
in
south
carolina
this.
This
has
just
come
up
and
it's
going
through
a
study.
I
believe
right
now,
but
it
hasn't
been
brought
up
to
us
to
vote
on
the
matter.
A
Right
exactly,
thank
you,
mr
president.
C
N
A
We
have
a
presentation
by
smb
infrastructure,
with
possible
action
on
the
laredo
bridge
system,
master
plan
and
any
other
matters
incident.
There
too.
A
O
Oh
that's
good
evening:
port
of
entry
committee
members,
yvette
limon
bridge
director
committee
liaison
roman
numeral
iii,
is
exactly.
O
K
L
So
I
understand
the
role
of
this
committee
is
as
an
advisory,
so
you
haven't
even
heard
the
presentation
right,
so
you
may
not
even
have
a
position
on
what
you're
going
to
hear
tonight,
which
is
really
where
I'm
at
and
I
represent
the
embarcader
industrial
park,
which
is
off
of
the
world
trade
corridor.
We
have
a
lot
of
land
there.
We
have
about
a
million
and
a
half
square
feet
of
warehouse
space,
so
I'm
very
interested
in
in
in
in
the
presentation.
That's
going
to
be
her
today.
L
One
thing
that
I
wanted
to
ask
in
general:
I
think
for
anybody,
that's
considering
the
prioritization,
the
scheduling
of
what's
being
proposed
under
this
plan.
It's
a
plan
right,
so
obviously
some
plans
are
actionable,
sometimes
go
on
a
shelf,
but
what
we're
doing
today
or
what
you're
doing
is
actually
probably
having
to
deliberate
over
whether
you
want
to
accept
the
prioritization
or
the
plan
and
and
so
forth.
L
I
think
city
council
will
do
the
same
they'll
be
able
to
gauge
whether
they
agree
with
the
timelines,
with
the
priorities
with
the
areas
that
are
being
looked
at
so
for
us
in
terms
of
our
analysis.
As
far
as
fadia's
development
goes
we're
just
beginning
to
look
at
this
document,
so
the
document
is
400
pages.
L
L
There
are
some
parties
that
I
think
need
to
be
part
of
the
conversation,
including
gsa,
including
some
of
us
on
the
warehousing
side.
Preliminary.
Those
are
some
of
my
my
comments.
Obviously,
the
white
elephant
is
in
the
room
is
a
four
five
bridge.
Some
of
us
may
or
may
not
have
a
position
on
it,
and
the
position
really
depends
on
what
some
of
you
will
gauge.
As
as
the
next
step
moving
forward,
you
may
adopt
it
in
full.
You
may
make
your
comments.
L
I've
been
on
the
other
side,
you
know
with
with
other
committees
that
the
city
has
where
you're
sitting
and
the
job's
never
easy,
when
you're
having
to
prioritize
and
make
decisions,
but
what's
important
is
to
provide
your
stakeholders
enough
time
to
do
their
analysis,
and
I
know
that's
not
necessarily
up
to
this
board,
but
I
think
each
of
you
would
want
to
do
that
print.
The
sheets
that
I
think
are
important
to
you,
review
them,
discuss
them
with
your
stakeholders.
In
this
case
our
tenants
right.
We
would
want
to
have
a
conversation
with
them
over.
L
What
they
see
is
their
impact,
the
impact
of
their
growth.
I
agree.
I
completely
agree
with
the
gentleman
that
was
up
here
earlier
or
before
me.
We've
got
to
get:
we've
got
to
grow,
our
powerhouse,
we're
at
powerhouse
in
south
texas
and
in
the
country
in
trade.
We've
got
to
align
ourselves
as
best
as
we
can
we're
all
not
going
to
please
everybody
right,
but
I
think
developing
a
plan
that
brings
our
city
and
unites
our
city
to
move
ahead
and
move
forward.
L
L
We
do,
and
so
preliminarily
for
me
in
terms
of
looking
at
this
400
page
report
is
that
we
need
to
complete
the
plans,
execute
the
plans
that
are
on
the
table
for
world
trade
bridge
and
then
look
look
at
other
things
that
I
think
are
going
to
be
complementary
to
us,
really
maximizing
our
powerhouse
position
and
globally,
and
not
just
just
the
states,
but
those
are
I
just.
Those
are
my
comments
to
you.
I
know
you
haven't.
L
I
don't
know
if
all
of
you
have
already
printed
this
or
even
it's
very
difficult
to
review
it
when
you're
looking
at
it
on
a
pdf,
I
found
it
easier
to
just
print
it
and
make
your
notes
a
lot
of
very
good
information.
I
have
a
lot
of
questions
and
I'm
sure
you're
going
to
have
the
same,
we're
here
to
help
anything
we
can
do
to
support
you.
L
All's
advisory
effort,
we're
happy
to
do
it
and
that's
you
know
anything
that
we
can
do
with
the
group,
that's
working
towards
moving
laredo
ahead
and
make
put
it
in
the
best
place.
We're
gonna
support
that
as
well.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
your
time
and-
and
I
appreciate
your
attention.
Thank
you.
Q
Madam
chair
of
world
record,
my
name
is
jerry,
schwabel
members
of
the
committee,
I'm
here
as
a
resource
to
you
all.
Please
look
at
me
as
a
resource
or
to
anyone
who's
interested
in
hearing
what
what
I
is
a
representative
of
the
border
trade
advisory
committee
that
was
involved
in
one
of
the
studies
that
I
think
was
used
as
a
source
for
the
study
that
you
will
be
referring
to
the
agenda
item.
Q
So
as
a
representative
of
taco
I'll
I'd
like
to
you
to
know
that
I'm
here
as
a
resource
ask
any
questions
you
may
have
as
to
what
what
an
original
study
that
was
a
two-year
study
was
done,
which
many
of
you
in
this
room
were
involved
in
in
the
dialogue
and
the
stakeholder
engagement.
Q
So
so,
please,
please,
I'm
here
at
your
service
I'll,
be
glad
to
share
any
information
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
about
the
border:
the
texas,
mexico,
transportation,
border
transportation,
master
plan,
which
is
referred
to
in
the
the
item
that
will
be
presented
by
the
sov
engineers.
Okay,
so
that's
where
ford
and
I'm
glad
to
share
any
information
you
have
and
I'll
be
talking
about
the
total
stakeholder
engagement.
Q
What
the
process
was
during
the
course
of
the
last
two
years
of
some
of
the
projects
that
are
being
discussed,
including
the
broad,
the
project
for
a
south
bridge
expansion
of
the
world
trade
bridge
and
a
number
of
others,
including
hacha
road
and
vice
iran.
So
I
hope
that
I
can
contribute
and
help
those
that
perhaps
need
more
information.
We
will
will
we'll
be
here
to
ask
any
questions
you
may
have,
and
I've
added
the
items
on
the
agenda
to
be
included
to
comment
during
that
item.
C
P
And
I
am
the
board
president
for
the
rio
grande
international
study
center
and
trisha
cortez
serves
as
the
executive
director
of
this
organization.
We
are
concerned
with
environmental
impacts
to
our
city
and
the
quick
trap
that
this
project
seems
to
be
on
so
as
a
board.
We
would
encourage
there
be
consideration
for
the
environmental
impacts
in
the
brief
materials
that
we
were
offered.
P
P
They
seem
that
growth
seems
to
have
occurred
outside
of
the
one
study,
the
traffic
study
that
was
presented
in
the
materials
for
this
new
project,
and
so
it
is.
It
is
even
that
much
more
important
to
include
a
new
environmental
impact
study
to
take
that
factor
into
consideration
all
of
the
residential
neighborhoods
that
that
traffic
from
that
new
proposed
location
would
incur.
P
We
would
like
to
serve
also
as
a
resource
to
talk
about
environmental
impacts
and
our
we're
located
here
at
the
laredo
college
and
would
be
happy
to
have
conversations
with
anyone
that
would
need
to.
Thank
you
very
much.
Thank
you.
Thank.

R

What
are
the
objectives
of
this
study?
The
objectives
was
to
develop
the
cerebral
international
bridge
master
plan
to
determine
current
and
projected
traffic
trends,
including
congestion
levels,
and
wait
times
for
the
laredo
international
bridge
system.
This
consists
of
the
de
la
redo,
colombia,
solidarity
bridge,
the
world
trade
bridge,
the
gateway
to
the
americas
bridge
and
the
juarez
lincoln
bridge.
R
We
also
need
to
address
existing
and
future
deficiencies
and
congestion
to
efficiently
process,
pedestrian,
non-commercial
and
commercial
traffic
traveling
to
and
from
mexico,
in
the
u.s
and-
and
we
also
going
to
propose
and
evaluate
alternatives,
to
a
streamline
and
increase
the
throughput
individually
and
collectively
as
a
system
for
that
we
had
to
re.
You
know,
do
a
lot
of
data
collection.
C
R
Traffic
model,
it
was
a
existing
data
review,
the
traffic
counts
on
the
us
and
the
mexico
site
crossing
data.
We
also
looked
at
socio-economic
data
reviews,
border
demand,
forecast.
We
looked
at
the
bridge
system,
commercial
vehicle
forecast,
passenger
vehicle
forecasts,
pedestrians
and
we
developed
that
travel
demand
model.
We
updated
the
u.s
travel
demand
model.
We
created
the
new
redo
mexico
td
travel
demand
model
created
by
national
assignment
model.
R
Development
alternatives
to
develop
the
alternatives.
This
is
the
areas
of
analysis.
Were
the
connectivity
improvements
to
the
railway
network.
We
also
looked
at
operational
changes
improvements
at
the
port
of
entries
technology
improvements
at
the
international
bridges,
on-site
improvements
of
the
port
of
entries
in
a
proposed
construction
of
bridge
four
five.
R
R
How
did
we
develop
these
alternatives?
Part
of
the
the
process
was
to
have
some
stakeholder
outreach.
We
met
with
the
sierra
leo
mpo
cvp
field
operations,
cbp
board
directors,
u.s,
custom
brokers,
mexican
custom
brokers,
the
alpha
group,
the
webb
county
city
of
la
redo,
rma,
the
real
motor
carriers,
associations
and
tech,
solar
radio
districts.
S
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
daniel
de
luna,
I'm
a
professional
engineer
and
work
with
this
and
bf
instructor
a
list
of
alternatives.
We
come
up
with
19
alternatives
a
through
s
and
I
will
go
through
each
slide
independently,
but
this
is
the
list
alternative
a
is
at
the
world
trade
bridge.
It
is
a
new
bridge
span,
we're
proposing
it
to
be
on
the
south
side
of
the
existing
span,
connecting
both
mexico
to
the
u.s
at
both
the
facilities
accessing
the
project.
S
Existing
facility
consists
of
15
primary
expansion
booths
three
fast
lanes:
seven,
eight
regular
bridge
lanes,
which
is
seven
regular
and
one
is
a
fascinating
northbound.
The
proposed
project
would
be
at
that
new
bridge
with
eight
northbound
lanes
and
on
the
existing
bridge.
We
will
convert
two
additional
lanes
to
go
southbound
and
two
of
them
remain
as
two
northbound
fascinates.
K
S
S
Or
the
whole
the
the
whole
thing
from
mexico
to
u.s.
S
Thank
you
yes,
alternative
b
is
also
at
the
world.
Trade
bridge
consists
of
two
adding
two
additional
fast
links
existing
right.
Now
we
have
three
fast
lanes
to
be
converted
to
regular
lanes
going
through
the
gsa
facility.
They
are
located
within
the
primary
regular
inspection
lanes
in
construction.
Right
now
we
have.
The
city,
has
four
fast
lanes
being
constructed
going
through
2022?
I
believe
the
proposed
project
will
add
two
additional
fast
links
for
a
total
of
six
fast
lanes.
S
M
S
Yes,
sir,
these
are
for
the
two
additional
in
addition
to
the
four
well,
I
believe,
there's
two
being
constructed
right
now
to
two
existing
three
there's
three
existing
right
and
then
they'll
be
moved
over
to
the
new
facility,
which
is
already
in
our
construction,
and
this
estimate
is
for
the
two
additional
lessons
adjacent
to
that
location.
I.
K
S
That
is,
this
is
just
based
on
average
unit
prices
available.
S
They
are
based
on
the
current
prices
in
the
market
today,
okay,.
S
Alternative
c
is
also
at
the
world
trade
bridge.
It
consists
of
the
entry
primary
inspection
lanes,
expansion,
the
existing
project
right
now.
The
existing
facility
excuse
me,
has
15
regular
lanes,
which
includes
three
fast
lanes
to
be
converted
to
regular
lanes
and
four
fast
lanes
being
constructed
in
this
year.
Right
now,
the
first
project
is
to
widen
the
railway
entry
into
the
facility
by
two
lanes,
adding
three
primary
inspection
booths
and
two
secondary
conspiracy.
B
I
E
T
One
point
I
want
to
get
into
this
question
is
that
we
should
analyze
the
major
impacts
on
each
of
the
projects,
because
we're
just
like
telling
like
the
general
information
and
not
discussing
the
impacts
in
which
the
recommended
the
first
second
third
and
options
that
are
made
on
the
analysis.
So
please
can
you
add
the
information
when
you
talk
about
each
of
the
different
options.
R
Some
of
the
variables
or
some
of
the
results,
the
fighting,
that's
right,
because
we're
going
to
do
the
findings.
This
is
just
the
presentation
of
the
alternatives
and
they're
going
to
present
the
findings
based
on
the
traffic
model,
because
the
traffic
model
is
incorporating
all
these
projects,
and
now
it's
gonna,
it's
gonna
run
through
each
each
alternative
and
it's
gonna
give
us
an
output.
He's
gonna
tell
us:
okay,
what
is
the
waiting
time?
What
is
the
crossing
time
and
that's
the
information?
I
think
that
that.
T
T
R
R
S
S
It's
approximately
a
four-lane,
divided
urban
roadway
from
ice
35
to
255,
and
this
this
project
will
be
to
convert
it
into
six
lane
freeway
facility,
with
a
estimated
official
cost
of
one
point:
almost
1.1
billion
dollars
only
between
isolde
and
fm255
1.1
billion
over
1
billion.
S
S
Alternative
f
at
the
widest
lincoln
international
bridge
is
the
passenger
vehicle
inspection
extension
of
the
inspection
of
the
booths
themselves,
to
double
boost,
to
stack
them
up
twice,
the
first
or
the
second,
and
to
the
second
one
that
would
allow
for
traffic
to
move
into
two
inspections.
At
a
time
the
system
is
at
500.
T
I
think
there's
there's
an
alternative
for
the
last
project
on
the
g,
but
it
says
the
alternative:
it's
not
by
a
viable
solution
and
we're
leaving
congestion
to
the
worst.
T
R
Not
in
this
presentation,
but
by
moving
the
empty
trucks
to
colombia,
there
is
a,
I
guess:
there's
some
there's
a
benefit
or
there's
a
production
of
congestion
and
world
trade.
T
R
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
S
R
We
use
a
matrix
that
took
into
account
those
variables
that
we
mentioned
and,
and
we
run
the
we
use
a
matrix
using
that.
R
K
R
K
R
R
So
each
each
each
each
alternative
is
run
to
the
simulation.
So.
A
We
already
have
the
mines
road
with
a
lot
of
traffic,
and
now
we
are
moving
traffic
to
the
south
side
and
the
new
bridge
it's
going
to
take
longer
in
years
to
be
built
and
having
work
working,
a
working
bridge
instead
of
the
expansion
and
it's
more
expensive,
the
new
bridge
than
the
expansion
and
it's
the
expansion,
went
all
the
way
to
the
bottom.
R
What's
happening
is
this:
the
model
is
giving
us
the
the
results
based
on
congestion.
So
what
the
model
is
saying
right
now
is
world
trade?
That's
where
we
have
the
problem.
Congestion
is
the
portrait.
R
R
Now
we
need
to
recommend
you
need
to
do
another
crossing,
because
if
you
don't
do
anything
or
you
do
some
improvements,
that
the
study
shows
that
you're
going
to
have
crossing
times
of
one
and
a
half
hours
two
hours,
because
it's
going
to
be
congested
on
on
world
trade
and
in
the
new
span
is
60
million
dollars.
If
you
do
this
pan
and
you
will
run
the
model,
if
you
look
at
the
numbers
on
the,
then
let
me
move
to
that
area
so
that
you
can
see
it.
K
R
Yeah
but
buddy,
I'm
gonna
move
to
the
to
that.
To
that
information
that
we
have
the
the
table,
that
shows
the
results.
Can
you
see
that?
Yes?
R
K
R
A
They're
talking
about
20
10,
going
north
and
10
going
south
we're
already
on
9
000
trucks
a
day
so
from
here
all
the
way
to
2030.
They
are
just
considered
an
increase
of
10
000.
I
mean
a
thousand
trucks.
I
I
think,
that's
very
far
from
reality:
10
000
trucks
in
more
than
10
years.
I
don't
think
I
think
the
increase
it's
going
to
be
higher.
H
R
C
K
R
Need
to
well,
we
can
look
into
this
and
on
friday,
we're
going
to
have
our
consultant
know
he's
our
team
he's
gonna
be
in
the
workshop,
but
we
can.
We
can
clarify
that,
but
these
are
the
numbers.
If
we
look
at
these
numbers,
then
we're
looking
at
the
total
waiting
time
of,
if,
as
you
can
see,
from
mexico
to
the
u.s
37.1
minutes
to
38.,
if
you
see
this
alternative,
there's
not
a
lot
of
benefit
because
it's
staying
the
same.
R
If
you
look
on
2040
and
we
look
at
the
waiting
time,
you're
looking
at
160
minutes
to
cross
and
on
the
base
case
and
on
the
alternative,
165
minutes
to
cross.
So
that's
that's!
That's
why
the
new
bridge
this
new
bridge,
as
you
mentioned,
is,
is
it
it
kind
of
ranks
in
the
it
goes
to
the
bottom
on
the
ranking,
because
those
factors
I
you
know
are
into
play
into
the
ranking.
So
that's
why
it
goes
to
the
bottom.
A
C
V
I
M
M
I
know
that
our
our
duty
here
is
for
the
bridges
themselves,
but
what's
the
impact
that
goes
further
when
they
cross
and
at
a
faster
time,
because
we're
honestly
not
calculating-
and
I
know
it
maybe-
might
be
difficult
in
checking
out
each
industrial
part,
but
to
get
to
those
parts
and
all
the
congestion
all
at
one
time.
That's
that's
going
to
be
another
big
study
that
maybe
should
be
part
of
this
somehow
for
some
geographical
area,
where
the
world
trade,
where
it
comes
out.
R
R
R
R
So
our
recommendation
to
the
city
is
saying:
based
on
these
traffic
numbers,
we
need
you
need
to
start
looking
at
another
location,
right,
another
location
or
an
expansion,
another
or
expansion,
and
we
have
done
the
expansion
we
have
on
the
alternatives
and
it
helps
if
we
go
to.
Let's
go
to
the
to
alter
the
chair.
A
A
K
K
R
R
R
This
is
we
congest.
A
They're
trying
to
alleviate
the
traffic
that
they
stop
park
on
the
bridges
right
now
on
the
35
on
the
main
road.
It's
going
south,
it's
not
coming
north,
it's
useless!
What
do
you
have.
A
O
C
K
K
C
O
K
R
And
I've
seen
that
I've
seen
the
truck
traffic
back
back
all
the
way
to
35
when
the
system
goes
down
in
mexico.
That's
that's
what
kind
of.
A
N
E
R
This
is
this,
is
these:
are
our
results
on
the
traffic
market
when
you
plug
in
different
numbers,
the
whole
thing
will
change.
K
U
C
C
U
Happens
when
you
build
these
tdm
models
because
we
do
it
with
the
mpo,
is
you
take
the
network
as
is,
and
then
you
put
the
traffic?
That's
there
right
now
and
then
you
start,
you
go
okay.
Well,
let's
go
these
scenarios
all
these
projects
put
them
in
line,
and
then
you
say
what's
good.
What
does
this
do?
For
you?
U
Is
this
going
to
reduce
traffic,
but
they're
only
doing
that
moment
because
we
haven't
fixed
the
internal
infrastructure
right,
our
road
mines,
road,
so
they're,
just
looking
at
points
and
places
we
have
to
determine
which
one
is
going
to
provide
the
most
throughput
and
then
find
out
on
the
internal
side
on
the
us
side.
What
are
we
going
to
do
to
alleviate
that?
To
get
you
to
the
warehouse
industry.
N
I
think
if
I,
if
I
may
yes,
what
I'm
seeing
in
in
alternative
a
in
both
the
2030
simulation
in
the
2040
simulation
is
there's
an
actual,
an
actual
increase
in
waiting
time,
no
matter
what
the
numbers
are,
there's
a
one
to
two
to
three
percent
increase
in
waiting
time,
which
some
could
argue
is
counter
intuitive
you're,
adding
eight
lanes
to
a
mult.
You
know
multiple
span,
but
if
that's
what
the
data
says,
let's
move
on
to
the
next
option.
If
you
don't
mind.
R
Yeah,
I
think
if,
if
you
add
more
lanes,
you
have
to
add
more
processing
boots
to
to
make
it
okay,
that's
what
so.
R
E
R
T
The
one
one
main
thing
is
that
the
system
is
has
come
to
a
top,
so
the
throughput
that,
if
you
put
more
lanes
it
will
be
the
same
because
the
access
and
the
end
of
the
road
it's
going
to
be
the
same
thing.
So
we
need
to
take
that
in
mind
and
see
whether
or
two
options
we
have
to
alleviate
all
the
traffic.
Because
if
we
put
like
more
lanes,
it
will
be
just
like
a
parking
lot
and
it
will
be
held
inside
the
system.
R
That's
that's!
That's
exactly
what
we
were
looking.
V
R
R
Those
are
the
then
bridge,
four
five,
which
is
the
new
international
bridge
to
luke
20
and
then
the
the
international
bridge
to
the
red
of
the
outer
loop
so
that
we
looked
at
a
b.
Okay.
This
is
alternative
b.
Let's
look
at
this
one.
Let's
look
at
the
table
that
the
results
and,
let's,
let's,
let's
look
at
these
numbers.
You
know
the
conservative
numbers
that
we
have.
R
If
you
look
at
the
waiting
time,
if
we
do
the
fast
lanes,
it
drops
from
37
to
24
minutes,
you
see,
that's
that's
and
then
on
the
on
the
throughput,
there's
an
increase
of
2.6
percent.
R
The
crossing
time
goes
drops
from
69
to
15
minutes,
so
there
are
some
benefits.
If
you
go
that
if
you
go
to
2040
you're
gonna
see
that
the
waiting
time
goes
from
160
to
80
minutes
so
you're,
starting
to
see
that
those
numbers
you
know
in
the
future,
they're
going
to
be
going
up
crossing
time.
The
crossing
time
is
going
to
be
249
and
then
the
alternative
is
142
minutes
and
I
want
to
take
so,
let's
take
a
little
bit
further
down.
R
R
R
R
G
R
R
This
is
moving
the
empty
trucks
to
colombia
and
then
well
by
moving
the
trucks
forces
is,
is
helping
slp
colombia,
better
utilization
is
helping
world
trade
because
that
takes
away
that
traffic.
So
it's
it's
a
recommendation
that
we
did
when
we
submitted.
This
report
was
at
the
end
of
june
on
july.
The
1st-
and
you
probably
know
that
gbp
had
us
adopted-
or
they
have
you
know
they
have
sent
all
the
trucks
to
colombia
except
the
the
cp,
the
cpta.
P
T
R
R
Times,
I
guess
we'll
have
to
what
I
guess
what
we
have
to
say
is
it
it
helps.
It
really
helps
it's.
It's
really
helping
the
operation
at
at
world
trade.
We
probably
need
to
go
back
to
that
report
and
make
that
you
know
that
change,
but
we're
clearly
seeing
that
this
is
this.
This
move,
which
is
a
controversial
or
is
something
that
we
found
when
we
met
with
the
stakeholders.
R
That
is
something
that
that
everybody
is.
You
know
it's
well.
How
can
I
say
that
not
everybody
is
happy
about
going
through
the
additional
the
logistics,
the
cause,
the
time
and
all
that,
but
this
is
something
that
is
helping
the
overall
the
system,
it's
helping
to
bridge
the
redo
bridge
system,
and
I
think
that's
that's
the
important
thing
that
we
want
to
the
statement
wouldn't
make
here.
There.
H
A
Another
recommendation
for
the
friday
meeting.
I
will
say
that
we
need
to
be
very
specific
in
saying
what
are
we
talking
about
the
northbound
traffic
or
the
southbound
traffic,
because
this
measure
helps
to
alleviate
the
northbound
traffic
and
I
think,
there's
some
issues
on
the
south.
So
in
order
for
us
to
see
all
the
all
the
negative
and
the
positive
impact
we
need
to
clarify,
you
are
considering
just
north
or
south.
A
Sometimes
we
just
can
be
lost
on
like
this
is
improving
the
numbers
coming
northbound
like
right
now
we
are
seeing
the
northbound
numbers,
but
we
are
not
seeing
the.
R
A
R
We
will
have,
we
will
have.
A
N
Like
comments
so
far,
what
I've
observed
is
all
of
the
southbound
u.s
mexico
numbers
are
minimal,
one
two
percent.
Is
there
any
reason
why
and
you
don't
have
to
answer,
maybe
consider
changing
it
for
friday,
but
all
of
the
all
of
the
other
options
we
looked
at
so
far.
N
R
R
N
If
I
may-
and
some
others
may
be
more
experts
in
this
in
this
matter-
but
I
understand
the
valley
does
have
an
overweight
oversized
corridor
and
it
it
might
put
us
at
a
disadvantage,
an
x
factor,
if
you
will,
if
we
don't
do
this
compared
to
our
competition
in
the
valley,
especially
as
we
move
into
more
avocados
and
fruits
and
vegetables
a
lot
of
times,
the
the
trucks
they'll
weigh
out
before
they
cube
out,
and
then
it's
kind
of
a
disincentive
to
go
through
the
process
of
getting
a
permit
for
every
single
crossing.
N
R
R
And
then
we
have
the
option.
We
did
two
options.
We
had
the
the
new
bridge
with
the
inner
loop,
which
we
call
the
inner
loop
and
then
the
new
bridge
to
the
outer
loop
and
in
the
ranking
because
of
the
other
loop
cost.
We
have
the
inner
loop,
the
option,
q
as
the
preferable,
I
guess
higher
than
the
than
the
other
one,
but
this
base
just
to
talk
about
a
little
bit
of
bridge
four
five.
The
part
of
the
study
was
to
look
at
the
like.
R
The
city
instructed
us
to
look
at
that.
Look
at
the
numbers
at
g
based
on
traffic
projections.
There
was
a
need
for
another
location
based
on
the
numbers.
We're
seeing
that.
Yes,
we
didn't
use
we're
going
to
need.
We
need
another
bridge,
another
crossing
this
location
was
not
chosen,
but
smb.
This
location
has
been
in
discussion
in
in
I
guess
in
our
region.
For
a
long
time
we
we
went
through
the
studies.
R
We
went
to
the
border
master
plan,
which
is
recommending
on
the
south
part,
this
location
text
that
you
know
they're
working
towards.
You
know
identifying
a
location
so
we're
we
were
just
taking
what
we
have,
what
we
have,
what
we
don't
and
we
run
the
alternatives
and
we're
giving
you
the
results.
R
Just
yes,
just
this
one,
you.
G
R
R
Texas
is
planning
and
they're
moving
to
the
outside
five
five
miles
east
of
the
existing
loop
and
they're
gonna
connect
all
the
way
to
255
to
colombia
to
that
to
that
water.
So
we're
looking
at
33
miles
from
the
planning
standpoint
we're
looking
at
okay.
What
do
we
have?
This?
Is
the
location
being
identified?
R
R
Hey
the
south,
is
there
it's
been,
it
has
been
in.
I
mean
it's
been
in
discussion
here
at
the
city
council
since
2008,
like
you
mentioned
mr
mentioned
in
2018.
R
K
C
R
Is
going
to
sign
off
on
it
or
not?
Yes,
let
me
clarify
texas:
are
they
doing
that?
I
guess
their
their
their
their
broadway
this?
This
was
a
study
from
what
I
understand
the
city
in
the
county.
Back
back
then
in
2008
there
was
a
study
done
by
the
city
of
the
county,
and
they
said
you
know
what
this
is
a
location
that
we
can
do
here.
R
J
G
M
M
M
The
the
acreage
are
costing
anywhere
between
250
000
to
320
000
an
acre.
You
know
that
there's
a
lot
of
investment
out
there
for
those
people
that
spent
a
lot
of
money.
So
what
is
the
best
alternative
to
go?
Maybe
put
another
bridge
next
to
it,
expanding
the
bridge
or
coming
in
south
and
what
is
south
going
to
do
better
because
you've
got
to
head
north
anyway,
where's
the
studies
moore's
are
the
numbers
going
through
35
and
going
up
all
the
way
up
to
canada
or
they're
going
to
houston
or
they're?
G
E
H
R
We
were
looking
at,
I
guess,
2025
year,
correct
because
it
takes
some
time
but
kind
of
start
the
planning
process.
What
we're
saying
here
is
that
we
need
to
start
down
the
city
of
the
rail
needs.
To
start,
we
need
to
start,
you
know
planning
to
do
something
because
it
takes
some
time
it
takes.
A
Basically,
on
the
location
of
the
bridge,
we
have
to
make
a
decision
just
consider
one
option
and
not
having
a
study,
another
option,
because
your
study
doesn't
consider
any
other
option
or
you
didn't.
M
J
C
K
R
There's
a
texas
mexico
border
master,
correct,
that's
that's
a
plan
that
is
done
under
tax
dot,
texas,
they
have
a
division
and
they
they
did
a
plan,
and
there
was
a
lot
of.
I
went
through
some
of
the
meetings
I
saw
some
of
you
guys.
A
A
O
R
Think
that
it
has
to
be
on
both
sides-
I
I
haven't
heard
anything,
but
maybe
you
know
the
mexican
side,
the
stereotype
olympus
and-
and
I
guess
it
describes
the
cereal
they
will
have
to
have
that
conversation
and
see.
Okay,
is
there
a
is
there
another
location?
Do
we
need
to
study?
Do
we
need
to
do
a
study
to
see
what's
the
best
location
that
that.
R
R
R
Everything
along
loop,
20,
all
the
direct
connectors
by
yeshiyo
achar,
there's
going
to
be
some
improvements
on
the
mines
road
by
tech
start
that
you
know
all
of
those
projects
any
way
in
motion,
z
portals
a
lot
of
the
its
that
is
coming
to
the
bridges.
All
of
that
information
is
already
there
already
here.
T
T
Thus
improving
overall
volume
through
output
capacity
of
the
entire
city
of
laurel
bridge
system
and
will
help
the
industrial,
commercial
trade
traffic
circulation
throughout
the
city,
texas
and
norway
olympus.
So
if
we're
like
discussing
the
the
spot,
was
the
story
clearly
says
that
it
is
the
best
evaluation
out
there.
So
I
don't
know
where
we're
discussing
like
different
things,
because
the
the
the
the
people
who
made
the
story
they
know
what
they
did
and
and
the
findings
are
out
there.
So
we
we
need
to
take
that
into
consideration
and
let
everyone
know.
A
R
Finish
the
comment
the
last
one
I
have
is
just
the
timeline
schedule
of
proposed
improvements
in
this.
We
kind
of
divided
this
on
in
the
short
term,
the
midterm
and
the
long
term,
and
the
like,
I
said,
the
development
of
the
katria
for
the
ranking
and
transportation
project
has
allowed
the
zero
guerrero
to
create
a
bridge
master
plan.
This
is
this
is
like
a
guide
for
the
ceo.
R
This
is
not
okay.
You
have
to
do
this
in
this
order.
I
know
that
we
don't
have
the
funds
on
some
of
these
projects
are
not
funded
so,
but
we
try
to
based
on
the
results
we
wanted
to
give
you
give
the
city
a
list.
Okay,
this
is
the
priority.
This
is.
This
is
a
guide
for
you
guys,
there's
a
lot
of
discussion
that
has
to
happen
discussion
with
the
mexico
counterparts
with
the
tax
dollar.
R
R
R
M
And
put
this
for
the
workshop,
the
rest
of
it
and
great
presentation.
Thank
you
and
that
took
a
lot
of
time.
You
certainly
don't
want
to
kill
the
messenger,
but,
but
I
think
it'd
be
best
if
we
work
it
through
the
workshop
and
and
move
on
from
there,
because
we
could
continue
doing
another
30
minutes.
R
Capacity
is
when,
when
you
have
those
big
big
lines
in
in
in
there
and
then
you're
gonna
have
an
issue
with
crossing
or
waiting
times,
and
they.
R
Percentage
we
can
ask
actual
friday
I'll,
ask
you
so
I'll.
Take
can
clarify
the
percentage,
but
capacity
is
is
very
important
and
we
we
have
reached
capacity.
The
traffic
model
is
showing
that
we
need
to
do
what
the
city
needs
to
look
at
a
location
to
help.
R
G
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
F
G
F
F
F
F
F
F
A
Okay
hold
on,
let
me
take
both
in
favor
to
extend
the
meat
in
30
minutes
all
right.
Vodka
gains
motion,
carrots.
We
are
taking
a
break
10
minutes.
Q
Again,
members
of
the
committee,
my
name,
is
jerry
schwab
and
I
again
I'm
coming
for
you,
because
I
I
took
the
heart
very
much.
Mr
ceo
rose
comments
and
I
I
agree
with
him
wholeheartedly
that
all
of
these
decisions
need
to
be
informed
decisions.
And
again
I
offer
myself
as
a
resource
on
behalf
of
the
board
of
credit
advisory
committee.
Q
So
just
as
a
matter
of
background,
let
me
share
with
you
that
who
the
btech
is
the
border
trade
advisory
committee
has
been
has
been
referred
to
by
by
the
the
the
two
prior
speakers.
Q
The
war
trade
vice
committee
is
a
committee,
a
border
private
sector,
public
sector,
individuals
that
are
appointed
by
the
governor
of
texas
to
work
with
the
secretary
of
state
of
texas,
who
is
the
the
foreign
relations
and
person
for
the
state
of
texas
secretary
of
state,
and
this
last
secretary
of
state
was
ruth
hughes
and
together
with
txdot.
Q
We
were
tasked
again
by
the
governor
to
come
up
with
this
texas
mexico
transportation
border
master
plan.
It
was
the
first
plan
that
included
not
only
texas
representation,
but
also
mexico
representation,
including
the
city
of
chihuahua,.
Q
Q
That
was
approved
by
the
texas
transportation
committee
that
has
been
presented
to
the
governor
of
the
state
of
texas
as
a
master
plan
of
those
projects
and
one
of
the
one
of
the
one
of
the
reasons
behind
it
is
because
what
happens
from
time
to
time
you
know,
and
obviously
there's
changes
of
government
within
municipalities
along
the
border,
but
this
became
the
framework
of
identifying
which
now
equals
over
approximately
600
projects,
totaling
almost
34
35
billion
dollars,
so
laredo
was
included
in
that
most
of
many
of
the
projects
that
are
referred
in.
Q
The
study
that
was
referred
to
right
now
came
out
of
this.
This
600
page
report.
I
think
yours
was
400
pages.
This
one
was
600
pages
and
it
took
two
years
and
the
and
and
the
the
series
of
consultants
included
various
universities,
various
private
sector
consultants,
a
very
comprehensive
and
in-depth
study.
So
the
projects
that
are
there
they're
identified
here
as
you
all
are
discussing,
are
very
specific
in
our
comprehensive
effect.
Q
You
know,
as
you
were,
you
were
part
of
that
committee.
You
were
involved
in
that
so
for
those
that
perhaps
are
not
familiar
with
it.
There
was
tremendous
stakeholder
engagement
at
the
local
level.
We
had
meetings
in
laredo
texas.
We
had
meetings
in
brownsville,
we
had
meetings
and
all
up
and
down
the
border
from
el
paso,
so
over
2500
individuals
participated
as
stakeholders.
Q
Every
major
organization,
along
in
the
state
of
texas
involved
in
international
trade,
I
would
say,
was
involved
in
it.
I
committed
two
years
of
my
life
to
it
and
I
really
what
I
I
saw
much
much
input
from
many
of
you
all
in
the
trade
community.
I'm
excited
about
this
particular
committee
because,
quite
frankly,
you
know
I've
been
a
strong
advocate
for
having
you
all
engaged,
because
this
we
need
to
you
know
make
sure
that
we
have
the
right
input
in
these
projects.
Q
So
again,
I'm
here
as
a
resource
to
answer
any
questions
you
may
have
about
what
what
projects
are
included
in
there,
because-
and
primarily
I
want
you
to
focus
on
the
high
impact
short
term.
Q
Those
are
the
needs
right
now
and,
as
I
stated
at
city
council
meeting
on
monday,
I
believe
we
we
need
to
act
now.
We
need
to
move
swiftly
and
we
need
to
move
prudently.
We
cannot
delay
it
and
those
that
may
not
be
as
informed
as
others.
I
welcome
the
opportunity
to
meet
with
them
and
share
any
information
or
answer
any
questions
they
may
have.
But,
quite
frankly,
the
plan
has
been
completed.
Q
Okay,
so
the
question
is:
how
do
we
move
forward
in
the
implementation
side?
How
do
we?
How
do
we
make
sure
that
what
was
presented
is
implemented
and
that
will
require
consultation
with
our
legislators
so
that
the
right
budgets
are
are
are
allocated
and
the
funding
that
is
identified
here?
That's
needed.
It
goes
through
textile
through,
of
course,
appropriations
by
the
state
legislature
and
everybody
agrees
and
buys
into
it.
This
is
not
going
to
be
a
time
to
question
anymore.
Q
The
projects
that
are
in
here
quite
frankly,
I
have
to
be
very
blunt
about
it.
It's
you
can
opine
and
you
can
state
your
own
opinion,
but
the
facts
are
been
presented
and
that's
why
it
took
two
years
and
what
we're
seeking
is
to
inform
the
city
councils,
the
county
commissioners,
which
they
already
have
and
all
the
stakeholders
that
participated
in
this
which,
as
I
said,
were
very
numerous
several
meetings,
several
workshops.
Q
You
know
here
in
other
parts
of
the
border.
So
now
there's
a
concern
or
question.
I
think
it's
it's
it's
proven
to
have
that
discussion,
but
the
fact
is
is
clear
that
the
the
agreement
has
been
concluded
and
whatever
proposed
changes
or
differences
of
the
plan
is,
is
not
something
that
is
going
to
change
the
whole
plan
or
not.
You
know
it
may
delay
a
legislator
saying
well.
Q
This
committee,
in
your
in
your
review
and
your
prudent
review
that
you
take
into
consideration
what
the
chronology
and
what
the
steps
will
be
from
this
point
on
and,
as
I
said,
I'm
here
as
a
resource
to
help
and
answer
any
questions,
including
any
I'm
sure
there
have
to
be
questions
from
those
that
perhaps
have
not
participated
in
the
process,
because
I
believe,
as
someone
who's
been
involved
in
this,
that
this
will
have
a
tremendous
positive
impact
to
the
economic
development
of
our
region.
M
Questions,
if,
if
I
may
yeah
excuse
me,
I'm
sorry
if
I
mean
I'm
glad,
I
know
you
for
many
years
and
and
there
has
been
studies,
the
issue
is,
I
think
today
is
that
we've
only
formed
30
days
ago
and
if
we
could
get
access
to
the
information
and
you're
right.
We
need
that
swift.
We
need
to
move
forward
because
those
monies
could
be
appropriated
somewhere
else
where
there
is
fundings
right
now,
because
there's
a
lot
of
funds
out
there,
but
we
just
don't
have
that
information
to
make
a.
Q
Q
I
don't
know
what
point
it
may
be
released
for
the
public
as
well,
but
I
also
let
you
know
that
on
monday
I
presented
an
executive
summary
of
that
and
if
you
give
me
your
card
I'll,
be
glad
to
email,
you
that
executive
summary,
because.
Q
Know
that
my
computer's
a
little
bit
slow
and
sending
a
600
page
file,
you
know-
and
I
don't
know
how
the
computer
on
the
other
side
is
going
to
be.
But
but
you
know,
there's
there's
never
been
an
issue
of
of
trying
to
keep
anything
from
anyone.
Q
The
challenge
is,
quite
frankly,
that
many
of
you
are
just
becoming
engaged
right
now,
and
I
understand
that
yeah
but,
like
I
said,
I
hope
that
you
would
consider
the
fact
that
others
that
have
been
engaged
on
it
for
a
lot
longer
and
that
proper
consideration
given
to
those
those
individuals
that
did
work
on
it
just
to
add
as
well.
You
brought
some
good.
H
Points
and
thank
you
and
you
always
provide
a
good
resource
of
information
for
all
of
us
that
we
go
out
there,
especially
just
traveling,
up
to
dc,
to
to
give
that
information
to
our
legislators.
Like
stated
now,
there
are
funds
available
and
they
are
moving
forward
with
this,
but
we
got
to
work
together.
Like
you
said,
you
know
we
got,
we
can't
throw
dirt
on
the
other
project.
H
We
have
to
make
sure
all
projects
are
moving
forward,
because
if
we
can
move
forward
with
all
our
projects,
they're
going
to
pick
one
or
two
and
we
can
make
our
community
look
like
we're
united,
because
when
we
go
out
there
it
seems
like
that's
our
biggest
thing.
You
guys
aren't
working
together.
You
guys,
don't
you
guys,
are
generating
so
much
money
at
the
bridges,
but
you
guys
aren't
working
on
the
funding
available
as
well
that
you
guys
have
available.
You
know
to
provide.
So
he
made
some
good
points
and
great
congratulations.
