4. RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS PORTION OF THE MARYLAND PARKWAY CORRIDOR TRANSIT-ORIENTED DEVELOPMENT PLAN (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION)

Comments:

Mr. Craig Raborn, Director of Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), introduced Mr. Daniel Fazekas, Senior Transportation Planner for the RTC, to provide an update on the Maryland Parkway Corridor Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) Plan. Following a detailed PowerPoint presentation [attached], Mr. Fazekas began with an overview of the project, which is a joint venture between the City of Las Vegas and the RTC. He discussed the application process, the timeline, and the project’s funding award, which totals


Minutes-Metropolitan Planning Subcommittee Meeting of November 12, 2019 Page 3 of 14

$400,000.00 including a $100,000.00 local match. He also outlined the project’s goal to provide a framework to identify and plan transit station areas with the greatest TOD potential. Corridor Map Mr. Fazekas reviewed a map of the project’s corridor, highlighting changes to the boundaries made since the last update. These changes included adding a quarter-mile influence area around each of the station areas. He also noted that the City of Las Vegas would be primarily responsible for the land use portion of the plan. Tasks and Milestones Continuing, Mr. Fazekas discussed the project’s tasks and milestones. A public kick-off for the project, which was tentatively scheduled for December 2019, was pushed to January 2020. The community engagement plan for the project is currently under development. Mr. Fazekas stressed the importance of actively engaging with community stakeholders located around the Maryland Parkway corridor. He continued with a list of the different assessments and components of the project. This list includes:

An Existing Conditions and Needs Assessment, which would collect the data necessary to evaluate existing transportation and land use conditions and recommend improvements within the project area.

A Market Analysis of Districts and Transit Stops with greatest TOD potential. The analysis will identify market readiness, regulatory opportunities, and form-based zoning needs within the corridor. It will also provide a foundation to guide public and private investment within station areas

Three Station Area TOD Plans that will create strategies and policies that help create a vision to increase housing and employment options for all income levels and support economic development that encourages private investment within station-area locations along the corridor.

A Workforce Housing Plan that will focus on enhancing mixed-use development within a form-based code, so residents of any income level have other transportation options to commute and take care of daily needs.

A Value Capture Toolkit and Performance Measures template that will identify and quantify TOD potential as well as track development, multimodal-infrastructure investment, and socioeconomic data within targeted station areas

A Final Plan Report summarizing existing conditions, market analysis, recommended development and infrastructure projects, and implementation strategy and all other specific elements.

He added that the target completion date for the project is December 2020. Clark County TOD Plan Mr. Fazekas also discussed the TOD plan Clark County developed for the portions of the Maryland Parkway corridor located in Clark County. The scope is similar to the City of Las Vegas’s plan and is expected to follow the same development timeline. City of Las Vegas 2050 Master Plan Mr. Marco Velotta, City of Las Vegas, discussed how the Maryland Parkway Corridor TOD plan aligns with the 2050 Master Plan for the City of Las Vegas. The outcomes that are developed from Maryland Parkway TOD Plan will be incorporated into the 2050 Master Plan and implemented in other districts. Mr. Fazekas added that the Maryland Parkway TOD Plan will also serve as a template for implementation of On Board, the regional mobility plan.



Motion No motion was necessary. Vote/Summary: No vote was taken.

Item:

5. RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE PHASE II LIVABLE CENTERS STUDY AT GALLERIA (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION)

Comments:

Mr. Craig Raborn, Director of Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), introduced Mr. Daniel Fazekas, Senior Transportation Planner for the RTC, to provide an update on the Livable Centers Study Phase II. Following a detailed PowerPoint presentation [included], Mr. Fazekas discussed the Livable Centers purpose and goals. Livable Centers are vibrant walkable communities that offer increased mobility options, encourage healthy lifestyles, and provide improved access to jobs and services. The RTC began exploring the Livable Centers concept because it closely aligns with the goals and neighborhood vision included in the Southern Nevada Strong (SNS) Regional Plan. The RTC awards funding to the different member agencies in order to conduct a study assessment that determines whether a certain area can become a Livable Center. Phase I Next, Mr. Fazekas provided a brief update on the Phase I project. The City of North Las Vegas was awarded the funding to develop the Deer Springs Livable Centers Study. The study is expected to be completed by January 2020. Phase II Then Mr. Fazekas discussed the Phase II project awarded to the City of Henderson. The Livable Center at the Galleria Study (Galleria Study) encompasses the site area around the Galleria Mall. He reviewed a map of the site and the study’s overall goals. These goals include the following:

Foster multimodal access and connectivity Develop a diversity of housing options and a sense of place Encourage walkability and connections within and between the nodes of community activity Build environmental strategies that support a strong and diverse economy Provide design solutions for an enhanced, attractive, connected, and safe public realm Identify existing as well as potential future pedestrian generators

Tasks & Milestones Continuing, Mr. Fazekas reviewed the Galleria Study’s tasks and milestones. The project began in November 2019 and is expected to be completed within a year. The study will include a needs assessment, concept plan, design guidelines, and implementation plan. He also clarified the difference between the transit-oriented development (TOD) plans being developed with the City of Las Vegas and Clark County and the Livable Centers studies. He explained that the Livable Centers studies give ownership of the plan to the member jurisdictions. The RTC is involved only to ensure that the plan aligns with regional transportation goals and the SNS Regional Plan. Phase III Mr. Fazekas stated that the next call for proposals will be held in the next six to nine months. Although it started as a pilot project, the success of the project encouraged the RTC to continue it.



Mr. Sean Robertson, City of Henderson, added that the introductory meetings with the property owners for the Galleria Study were underway and had thus far been positive. Mr. Raborn commented on the importance of ownership of the planning process among the jurisdictions and how ownership correlates to a higher probability of implementation. He also discussed the RTC’s role in implementation funding and their commitment to work with the jurisdictions to allocate towards infrastructure projects identified in the different studies. Motion: No motion was necessary. Vote/Summary: No vote was taken.

Item:

6. APPROVE THE PUBLIC PARTICIPATION PLAN (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION) Comments:

Mr. Andrew Kjellman, Manager of Transportation Planning for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), began by saying the Public Participation Plan (PPP) was originally brought before the Metropolitan Planning Subcommittee (MPS) in September 2019. It is returning at this meeting for action and to share public comment period survey results. Mr. Kjellman went on to describe the PPP as a federally-required document, approved by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and is usually a precursor for the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) update. It guides outreach transportation and transit plans as well as how the RTP and Transportation Improvement Program are amended. It also shares with the public how to get involved in transportation decision making. Next, Mr. Kjellman shared a slide displaying the survey results mentioned. More than 2,000 responses were received. The questions asked included the following:

How do you most often hear about news and events in your community? o Social media, internet, and television were the top responses.

How would you most likely provide your input to the RTC? o Email and online surveys were the top responses.

Mr. Kjellman then provided a summary of progress as it pertained to the PPP. He said a 45-day public comment period was held during the summer. The PPP had also been presented to the Metropolitan Planning Subcommittee previously, and it will be taken to the Executive Advisory Committee as well as the RTC Board of Commissioners for approval. After concluding his report, RTC staff recommended approval of the item. Motion: Mr. Sean Robertson, City of Henderson, made a motion to approve the Public Participation Plan. Vote/Summary: 10 Ayes. 0 Nays. The motion carried. Ayes: Dimitrios Karapanagiotis, Mario Bermudez, Vivian Browning, Don Johnson, Marc Perla, Ken Satowski, Sean Robertson, Mark Silverstein, Fred Solis, Robert Tekniepe Nays: None Absent: Johanna Murphy, Susan Danielwicz, Nass Diallo, Victor Rodriguez, Richard Secrist



Item:

7. APPROVE THE FISCAL YEARS 2020-2021 UNIFIED PLANNING WORK PROGRAM – AMENDMENT ONE (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION)

Comments:

Mr. Andrew Kjellman, Manager of Transportation Planning for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), presented an update regarding the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). This item is an amendment to the UPWP, typically conducted each fall to reflect the fact that the document is prepared in the spring, adopted over the summer, and cleaned up in the fall. Following a detailed PowerPoint presentation [attached], Mr. Kjellman reviewed how the UPWP identifies the regional studies that will be conducted as well as local agency-proposed studies. Mr. Kjellman said there are currently nine locally developed studies included in the UPWP. The document covers a two-year planning period. Mr. Kjellman said there are three main actions included in Amendment 1:

Two studies (Freight Modeling and Visitor Population Synthesizer) consolidated into one new study: Visitor & Freight Model Components Update.

Two studies changed project initiation year (TNC Data Analysis Methodology and Southern Nevada Freight Plan Update).

Six studies adjusted carry-over balances between fiscal years: o Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan o Bruce Street Green and Complete Street o Citywide Pedestrian and Bicycle Plan o Stadium District Transportation Plan o Pedestrian Comfort Study and Demonstration Project (Study Complete) o River Mountains Loop Trail Improvements Study (Study Complete)

Mr. Kjellman said that total funding changes resulting from Amendment 1 would be an increase of $84,701.00 in Fiscal Year 2020. Also, the funding increase is within the limits of the $6.3 million available in Fiscal Year 2020. Motion: Mr. Mario Bermudez, Clark County Comprehensive Planning, made a motion to approve the Fiscal Years 2020-2021 Unified Planning Work Program – Amendment 1. Vote/Summary: 10 Ayes. 0 Nays. The motion carried. Ayes: Dimitrios Karapanagiotis, Mario Bermudez, Vivian Browning, Don Johnson, Marc Perla, Ken Satowski, Sean Robertson, Mark Silverstein, Fred Solis, Robert Tekniepe Nays: None Absent: Johanna Murphy, Susan Danielwicz, Nass Diallo, Victor Rodriguez, Richard Secrist

Item:

8. RECEIVE AN UPDATE ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF ON BOARD, THE REGIONAL MOBILITY PLAN (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION)

Comments:

Mr. Craig Raborn, Director of Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), provided an update regarding the On Board Regional Mobility Plan (On Board). Following a detailed PowerPoint presentation [attached], Mr. Raborn began by stating that this was the first time the On Board draft plan recommendations would be presented to a public committee. The project has been underway for just longer than two years, and the current stage is to present recommendations with the intention of bringing the project to a close. After the



recommendations are shared, there will be a 90-day public comment period followed by adoption some time mid-spring 2020. Mr. Raborn went on to say On Board originally started as the high-capacity transit (HCT) plan. It has since grown broader than just HCT. He shared a map showing a proposed Southern Nevada HCT system. This includes 19 proposed lines, is broken into two phases, and ranges from rapid bus transit to light rail transit (LRT). Project Phases Mr. Raborn noted that, currently, On Board is not a fiscally restrained plan. This means it is purely aspirational at this point and does not have dollar values attached. It is the vision of what mobility could look like in Southern Nevada. He shared the intended phases moving forward:

Completion of the Maryland Parkway HCT project First phase would include three LRT or bus rapid transit (BRT) lines and six rapid bus lines Second phase would include 3 more BRT lines and five more rapid bus lines

Mr. Raborn said recommendations from the Resort Corridor Feasibility Study to continue exploring rail-based transportation on Las Vegas Boulevard was included in the On Board plan. Southern Nevada Strong (SNS) Initiatives Next, Mr. Raborn went on to say On Board is going back to try and address the SNS response to growth in the region. He said a total of 15 regional priorities have been identified as a result of public outreach surveys. These include the following:

1. Improved Road and Transit Safety 2. Fewer Traffic Jams 3. High Capacity Transit (including light rail) 4. Better Connectivity 5. Well-Maintained Roads 6. Frequent Bus Service 7. More Transportation Choices 8. Expanded Service for Seniors, Veterans, and People with Disabilities 9. Improved Job and Housing Access 10. Better Walking and Biking Conditions 11. New Modal Technologies and Investments 12. Expanded Transit Service Area 13. New Information Technologies 14. Better Transit Stops and Stations 15. Improved Transit Security

Mr. Raborn said the Fuel Revenue Indexing (FRI) program ballot measure effectively addressed four of the top five priorities while touching on others. That said, there was still a need for a broad mobility plan for the region. This is what On Board is intended to address. Recommended Strategies Moving on, Mr. Raborn said the On Board plan recommends eight strategies. They are directly inspired by survey recommendations, and each strategy includes specific projects or programs proposed for implementation to make a strategy happen. The strategies for On Board include the following:

1. Build HCT System 2. Expand Transit Service to Maximize Access to Jobs and Housing 3. Make All Travel Options Safer and More Secure 4. Make Short Trips Easier



5. Expand Service for Seniors, Veterans, and People with Disabilities 6. Improve Connections to Major Destinations 7. Provide Reliable Transit for Resort Corridor Employees 8. Leverage New Technology to Improve Mobility

Mr. Raborn made it clear that the On Board plan was not complete. He followed up by saying during the following 90-day comment period, an extensive outreach survey would be conducted to share and rate the different On Board strategies. Information gathered during the comment period will be used to create the final plan document. Next, Mr. Raborn spoke very briefly to each of the proposed eight strategies for the On Board plan, sharing slides corresponding to each of the eight “big moves.” Each accompanying slide included an overview of the strategy, projects and programs associated with the strategy, and key benefits from implementation. Mr. Raborn noted that he would not speak in detail about each strategy, sharing only highlights and snippets, as the On Board plan includes plenty of detail for Metropolitan Planning Subcommittee (Subcommittee) members to view. Mr. Raborn showed maps and spoke about different colored sections and lines and what they mean. He also skimmed over material that detailed proposed improvements/transit implementations for areas that currently do not have HCT. The aspirational goal is to provide transit to these areas. Regional service goals as well as impacts of transit implementation are included in the current plan. Mr. Raborn mentioned that the plan includes everything from big-picture improvements to small changes that can have large impacts. Mr. Raborn stated that all eight strategies are being assessed for the risk of impact from emerging technologies. Things that could potentially be outdated by the time of implementation due to new technology likely will not be high on the list of priorities. In summary, Mr. Raborn said the next steps will be to finalize all of this information and determine specific implementation approaches. Mr. Raborn shared a broad overview of the On Board plan as it currently exists – it has eight overarching strategies and 65 specific projects or programs. Finally, Mr. Raborn shared a pie chart that divided survey results sentiment. Overall, 53 percent of 12,000 responses in RTC’s 2018 On Board Survey said that On Board should “develop new alternatives” for improving transportation, while only 11 percent want to “maintain current conditions.” He reiterated that FRI provided funding for four of the 15 initial regional priorities, leaving 11 that need funding sources. He said information would be shared as it is gathered during the upcoming public comment period. Q and A Mr. Robert Tekniepe, Clark County Department of Air Quality, asked specifically about the Number 12 regional priority – expanded transit service area – as it was shown in Slide 4. He said this particular priority was categorized as “less strong” and asked why. Mr. Raborn said this was in regard to the HCT strategy. HCT is not being provided in places that don’t currently have any kind of transit, which is why that particular priority does not rate strongly. He directed Mr. Tekniepe to the following slide, which showed expanded transit service area with a higher priority strength. Mr. Raborn said each of the 15 regional priorities was rated as they pertained to the different “big move”/On Board strategies. He said a summary table could/would be created to clarify for the final plan.



Motion: No motion was necessary. Vote/Summary: No vote was taken.

Item:

9. RECEIVE AND DISCUSS A PROPOSAL TO PARTICIPATE IN A NATIONAL COHORT TO DEVELOP A REGIONAL SPATIAL DATA ANALYSIS TOOL LED BY BROOKINGS INSTITUTION (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION)

Comments:

Mr. Craig Raborn, Director of Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), introduced Ms. Rae Lathrop, Manager of Regional Planning to discuss the Brookings Institution (Brookings) proposal. Following a detailed PowerPoint presentation [attached], Ms. Lathrop explained that the RTC was approached earlier this year by Brookings to participate in its expanded cohort and explore a new data tool. The RTC is presenting the proposal to the various jurisdictions and committees in order to determine whether the tool would be of benefit and to gage the level of interest since participation in the cohort would involve a two-year commitment. She described the tool’s intention, which is to combine land use, transportation, and economic development goals into one map that could potentially create a new interdisciplinary approach to public investment for economic and community development. The RTC’s goal is to create a framework for making decisions around future investments, particularly as they align with the community’s shared values and large community-wide goals. She then showed screenshots of the tool’s different functions. Portland Metro Continuing, Ms. Lathrop provided an overview of Portland Metro’s application of the tool. Originally created in partnership with Brookings, Portland Metro used the tool to develop a map that articulated the connections between the regional economy, neighborhood-level economic conditions, and their relationship to the built environment. Over the project’s 18 months, Portland Metro accomplished four major tasks:

Development of a Market Scan of metropolitan and neighborhood conditions and trends A set of agreed-upon values and recommend specific data fields and relevant measures A multivariate analytical system and application use cases Gathered design input on the tool

Regional Applications Ms. Lathrop then reviewed possible applications of the tool in Southern Nevada. As part of the cohort, the RTC is required to develop its own metrics and goals for implementation. She noted that the project would offer the opportunity to develop a shared understanding of existing conditions and common goals across the region. Although the RTC has other spatial tools, Ms. Lathrop said this tool provides the opportunity to gather data currently not available. Ms. Lathrop outlined the following possible goals:

Determine implications of TOD and develop best practices for transit and regional planning Translate regional utility projects and other investments into dollars and readiness Review the impacts of public investment, changing demographics, and tracking values over time Provide guidelines for the allocation of public incentives based on shared goals and values

She also discussed the benefits of participating and learning from the other members in the cohort, which include MPOs from Minneapolis, Minnesota and Kansas City, Missouri.



Mr. Robert Tekniepe, Clark County Department of Air Quality, inquired about the costs to participate in the cohort. Ms. Lathrop reviewed the costs, which mainly consist of travel costs to attend cohort meetings and approximately 20 percent of an RTC staff member’s time to manage the project. There is no additional fee to participate, which, she noted was rare since the majority of similar proposals require one. Mr. Tekniepe followed up with a question regarding whether RTC staff could handle another project in addition to everything it is already working on. Mr. Craig Raborn responded that it was feasible, and the potential value and outcomes are worth the time investment. Vice-Chair Dimitrios Karapanagiotis, Clark County School District, inquired about next steps in moving forward with the proposal. Ms. Lathrop responded that RTC would draft a response proposal with shared regional goals and input from the jurisdictions. Mr. Raborn added that the project would provide the opportunity to consolidate some of the RTC’s existing tools into one platform among other benefits. Mr. Ken Satowski, Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT), asked whether partner participation would be limited to the MPO district or include all of Clark County. Mr. Raborn assumed it would cover all of Clark County unless precluded by the availability of data sources. Mr. Tekniepe asked if the tool is appropriate given the region’s population density as compared to other cities such as Portland. Ms. Lathrop didn’t think the region’s scale or sprawl would be an issue. The application would be determined by the region’s goals, and she thought there were plenty of opportunities. Mr. Raborn agreed with Ms. Lathrop’s assessment. He added that the tool’s mapping and analytical capabilities would not be impacted. Motion: No motion was necessary. Vote/Summary: No vote was taken.

Item:

10. RECEIVE AND DISCUSS A PROPOSAL TO UPDATE THE OPPORTUNITY SITE PLANS SINCE ADOPTION OF THE REGIONAL PLAN IN 2015 (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION)

Comments:

Ms. Michelle Larime, Senior Regional Planner for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), described the progress that the RTC had made in reviewing the Southern Nevada Strong (SNS) Opportunity Sites. Following a detailed PowerPoint presentation [attached], Ms. Larime provided a brief background on the issue, explaining that the four Opportunity Sites being studied in SNS include the following:

Boulder Highway at the Gibson/Broadbent intersection Downtown North Las Vegas (DTNLV) gateway site Las Vegas Medical District (LVMD) Maryland Parkway corridor

Each site represents significant opportunities for investment, revitalization, and application of goals in the SNS Regional Plan. The RTC’s goal in conducting its upcoming five-year progress report for each site is to capture and communicate what five years of planning and progress looks like in one place. Ms. Larime continued, describing that the evaluation process for each site would involve four unique phases with multiple sets of deliverables. This would help them determine timelines for goals and implementation strategies, as well as evaluation of potential partnerships to complete Opportunity Site work. There would also be site-specific deliverables designed to address the local needs of each agency



and provide specific input on how to overcome challenges inherent to each site. Ms. Larime then provided a breakdown of details of each Opportunity Site assessment. Boulder Highway at Gibson Road/Broadbent Boulevard Strategies here focus on analyzing development potential of this undeveloped land, with the vision of creating a thriving, transit-oriented neighborhood. New developments have occurred near the site, which may offer the potential for public/private partnerships. Ms. Larime said that the City of Henderson had already allocated funding and begun the design phase of its part of Boulder Highway to align with the priorities from Re-Imagine Boulder Highway. In terms of challenges, large rights-of-way, above ground utilities, and current transit routes all present issues to development. Site-specific deliverables here include the following:

Research and data analysis that can support the development of a Redevelopment request-for-proposal (RFP) for the site

SNS to assist with regional and national promotion for developing the site SNS to identify new funding sources and partnerships to assist with the development of the site Detailed case study research around how other communities have successfully overcome similar

development challenges in their community (most notable large right-of-way) Downtown North Las Vegas Strategies here focus on identifying projects, policies, incentives, and programs that could better support the revitalization of North Las Vegas. So far, the City of North Las Vegas (NLV) had conducted several planning studies and initiatives, most notably the Lake Mead Village West Plan. NLV has also invested in the region, including Complete Street improvements, and performing many other outreach efforts to improve the area. Ms. Larime noted that land value and rents were beginning to rise in the area, a good sign for the development market. In terms of challenges, NLV is limited on staff and resources. There are language barriers to overcome, and there is a lack of specialty services in specific regions. Site specific deliverables here include the following:

Mapping and production of marketing material for promoting the site to help support NLV New research and case studies for achieving DTNLV vision – incentives and catalyst projects in

other communities New strategies for overcoming language and communication barriers within the downtown

community New placemaking strategies for potential districts and/or cultural areas within the downtown

footprint Las Vegas Medical District Strategies here work toward creating a world-class medical district that will provide a broad range of benefits for Southern Nevada residents. This site has seen much progress over the past few years, with Ms. Larime noting the City of Las Vegas’s integration of studies and form-based code for a portion of the district as an example. The redevelopment district has been expanded, and Project Neon was completed. Other streets in the region were nearing integration of their Complete Streets designs as well. In terms of challenges, there is a notable lack of land use for new developments, some uncertainty around the new developments, and some misunderstandings about the form-based code. There will also be shared management issues to resolve. Site-specific deliverables here include the following:

Summarized lessons learned around implementing new, form-based code and provide new strategies for improving outreach and communication with neighborhoods as the city continues to implement the code throughout the Downtown Master Plan districts

Research and case studies around shared public/private management within business districts Research and case studies around retrofitting a car-centric district to pedestrian friendly



Explore new ideas for connecting the LVMD with adjacent districts and neighborhoods (Historic Westside) and to regional assets such as University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) main campus

Maryland Parkway Corridor Strategies here involve incentivizing revitalization of the corridor through transit-oriented development. There have been many studies and initiatives done on this region. Both the City of Las Vegas and Clark County are kicking off a transit-oriented development planning grant that will provide input for station planning priorities and identify opportunities for transit-oriented development in the corridor. UNLV has also explored options for public/private partnerships with the goal of building out more mixed-use and high-density student housing, catalysts for shaping the future of the built environment in the corridor. In terms of challenges, Maryland Parkway is a highly auto-centric corridor, there is limited land availability, and there are multiple out-of-state property owners. Site-specific deliverables here include the following:

Research and case studies for retrofitting car-centric corridors and how to incorporate the future of high-capacity transit into new development

Re-engagement with key stakeholders and research strategies for continued stakeholder engagement in corridor planning

Research best practices for urban sustainability and resiliency, such as extreme heat mitigation, opportunities for cooling/emergency stations, greening pedestrian environment, and more

More potential documentation, depending on the outcome of the transit-oriented development planning grant

Project Timeline Ms. Larime stated that staff anticipated taking 18 months to update all four Opportunity Sites. A general timeline for project progress had already been built, with each update occurring every few months. This system will ensure that staff resources are used appropriately and that each region is given the time it needs. She listed a rough outline of the proposed timeline:

DTNLV – Nov. 2019 - May 2020 LVMD – Feb. – Aug. 2020 Boulder Highway – May - Nov. 2020 Maryland Parkway – Aug. 2020 - Feb. 2021

In closing, Ms. Larime stated that staff is working with the partners to get these plans in place, and she said that anyone with feedback on the process could contribute. Motion: No motion was necessary. Vote/Summary: No vote was taken.

11. REVIEW AND RECOMMEND WORK PROGRAM ACTIVITIES FOR ADMINISTERING THE SOUTHERN NEVADA STRONG REGIONAL PLAN (FOR POSSIBLE ACTION)

Comments:

Mr. Craig Raborn, Director of Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC), described how as the region’s federally designated metropolitan planning organization (MPO), it is required to have a work program. Southern Nevada Strong (SNS) is the region’s federally recognized policy plan. The team dedicated to the administration of SNS is now organized inside the MPO, so the MPO’s work program will be updated to include



project and activities related to SNS. The proposed work program will describe how to administer the plan effectively. Mr. Raborn noted that the RTC does not directly implement SNS, as that was left to the local jurisdictions. However, the RTC does implement several small aspects of the plan as the transportation planning and transit agency, in addition to being the core administrator. Administrative Tasks Mr. Raborn described a few of the tasks identified in SNS, again noting the RTC’s role as a regional core administrator. Other tasks include regional plan updates, which include, in part, the Opportunity Site updates. These tasks are just part of what the RTC is putting into its formal planning efforts. Another task noted by Mr. Raborn was the Citizens’ Planning Academy, an effort to elevate planning and understanding among local governments and the public overall. The last task described was developing an Implementation Report. This is the RTC’s effort to collect data on all SNS progress from all jurisdictions within a single document. Regional Planning and Research Tasks Taking a step back, Mr. Raborn described a second set of initiatives currently being worked on. These are the RTC’s regional planning and research tasks. He reviewed a few of these tasks to include future housing inventory and needs analysis, extreme heat events coordination response study, and inventory of regional sustainability planning tools and techniques. Mr. Raborn noted that there are multiple approaches for deploying these tasks being attempted by jurisdictions, all of which are valid. He suggested that the members review the pros and cons of these methods to determine which plans and tools should be formalized. Mr. Mark Silverstein, Clark County Department of Aviation, described that there were many things happening across the private entities, resorts, and non-government organizations in regard to sustainability programs. He said it would be helpful to review all of these uses. Mr. Raborn agreed and said that type of review was a key goal of the plan. Mr. Raborn detailed that the goal is not to recreate what others were doing, only to look at their options. It may come out that there is no need for a regional plan. One of the last projects described by Mr. Raborn was the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s Tree Canopy Study. They had reached out to the RTC for help with the social equity elements of the review. Mr. Raborn stated that while future tasks may be added over time, this was a summary of where the RTC is now and which tasks are most tightly linked to planning efforts. He briefly detailed efforts in regard to the Extreme Heat Study, describing the importance of this type of analysis. Not having this data has led to higher heat-related mortality rates, so it was crucial that these assessments get done. Overall, he said the plan is still a ways off from adoption, but once it is adopted by the Executive Advisory Committee (EAC) and SNS Steering Committee, it will be included as an appendix in the Unified Planning Work Program. Q and A Mr. Robert Tekniepe, Clark County Department of Air Quality, noted that the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition (SNRPC) had recently disbanded and asked about the logistics of the RTC administering the program, with that in mind. Mr. Raborn replied that the SNRPC did vote to disband, but that the issue was complicated. There was significant restructuring internally that had to be done to make sure everything stays compliant. Overall, Mr. Raborn stated that the work program assumed the status quo for how things have been and did not take any position on what the SNRPC should do or



might end up doing. The RTC will administer the regional plan on behalf of the SNRPC, and based on changes, would update the planning accordingly. Mr. Tekniepe asked for further clarification on who Mr. Raborn reported to in this area in lieu of the SNRPC. Mr. Raborn replied that there is an SNS Steering Committee with representatives from local agencies. This was a primary point of contact. He said that the next meeting with them would occur in January 2020, at which time Mr. Raborn would bring these documents forward. Vice-Chair Dimitrios Karpanagiotis, Clark County School District, asked how flexible this program is. Mr. Raborn explained that they typically go through an amendment process for updates, so changes are possible. These programs are written to keep them administrative in nature, intended to outline the major efforts and deliverables. Motion: No motion was necessary. Vote/Summary: No vote was taken.

OverviewSouthern Nevada is one of the nation’s fastest growing regions, and the impacts of new residents, sports teams, hospitals, master planned communities, employment hubs, resorts, and education facilities are felt across the region and throughout the economy.

Southern Nevada’s local and regional agencies started planning to accommodate and manage the region’s growth and transformation in 2012, beginning with an effort called Southern Nevada Strong.

This On Board Mobility Plan addresses the transportation system and its mobility needs and priorities. The plan has been a two-year project, created with substantial community engagement, data analysis, and applied expertise from local and national experts. The plan identifies solutions that work for Southern Nevada.

The On Board Mobility Plan includes 8 Big Mobility Moves that improve quality of life in Southern Nevada, strengthen the regional economy and prepare the region’s transportation system for our expected growth over the next two decades.

Combined, the 8 Big Mobility Moves will:

• Make transportation safer, more convenient, and more comfortable;

• Make the entire transportation system more reliable and provide people with more choices for travel; and

• Help maximize regional economic competitiveness and improve transportation sustainability.

Southern Nevada's Strong: establishes the valley's first regional plan to build complete communities that provide transportation choices , employment opportunities, housing options and quality education.

Fuel Revenue Indexing Program: implements and funds a program of street and highway construction and maintenance project to address the region's backlog of unfunded projects and prepare for anticipated population growth.

On Board Regional Mobility Plan: identifies main strategies to address the changing mobility needs for Southern Nevada identifying a future with high capacity transit, expanded public transit services, more transportation options and leveraging new technologies.

Transportation Investment Business Plan: develops a vision linking the health and growth of the valley's resort and tourist economy with critical transportation improvements in the Resort Corridor and Downtown areas.

Access2040 Regional Transportation Plan: links Southern Nevada's growth, travel patterns, and transportation system into overarching performance goals including improving safety, managing congestion, improving connectivity, and maintaining infrastructure in good condition.

Build High Capacity Transit System: High capacity transit (HCT) is high quality, fast, and frequent transit services that operates in dedicated lanes and/or with high level of transit priority. HCT includes light rail, Bus Rapid Transit, which is light rail like service provided with buses, and Rapid Bus, which consists of a mix of transit measures, much like the SDX that operates serves downtown Las Vegas and the Strip. RTC is currently planning Southern Nevada's first BRT line on Maryland Parkway.

Expand Transit Service to Maximize Access to Jobs and Housing: As southern Nevada continues to grow, there will be a need for more robust transit services. On Board will increase service in the region in line with this growth and expand service to new areas, as well as new approaches such as demand responsive service and partnerships with companies like Uber and Lyft. In all cases, transit services will reflect local needs while also being cost effective. On Board's goal is to expand transit service so that 75% of the region's residents are within a 1/2 mile of bus service, and 100% of the region will have access to some type of public transportation service.

Make All Travel Options Safer and More Secure: On Board makes safety a top core value. The plan includes projects and programs to strengthen personal security and physical safety while riders walk to, ride and wait for the bus.

Make Short Trips Easier: On Board will make it easier and safer to walk (and ride bikes) in Southern Nevada. This may be accomplished by creating "Complete Streets" that meet the needs of all types of travelers including pedestrians, cyclists, bus riders and drivers. The plan also includes the creation of mobility hubs as a center for several types of transportation and a neighborhood gathering space for commercial and residential life.

Expand Service for Seniors, Veterans, and People with Disabilities: On Board will both expand and improve travel options for older adults, veterans and people with disabilities. Scheduled programs and projects include expanding the amount of service available, offering service in new areas and making existing services easier to understand and use.

Improve Connections to Major Destinations: On Board will improve connections to major regional destinations including McCarran International Airport as well as major job centers and event venues. These routes will be designed to connect residents and visitors directly to important locations using a combination of express bus routes, commuter services, and game day/event shuttles.

Provide Reliable Transit for Resort Corridor Employees: Over 30% of the region's jobs are along the "Resort Corridor". A large proportion of employees who work at the resorts must enter and exit through "back-of-house" entrances that are not well served by transit. This initiative would create direct services to employee entrances.

Leverage New Technology to Improve Mobility: On Board will invest in new technology to make it easier to plan, book and pay for trips. Projects real-time bus arrival information, more options for using smart phones to pay transit fares, and trip planners that include information about a variety of transportation services, including rideshare. On Board will also invest in clean fuel technologies, such as an expanded electric vehicle charging network, and transition existing buses to an all-electric fleet.

1OverviewHigh Capacity Transit (HCT) provides frequent and convenient service for passengers on high demand routes. HCT includes Light Rail, Bus Rapid Transit, which is light rail-like service provided with buses, and Rapid Bus, which consists of a mix of transit measures. HCT also generates economic development for the region and along the corridors where it operates. On Board would build a total of about 200 miles of HCT in Southern Nevada on 18 different routes (which will take five to 10 years for the first projects).

ImplementationThe first step in the development of HCT will be completion of High Capacity Transit on Maryland Parkway. Additional development will be in two phases over about 20 years. A proposed system map is on the inside cover, and each project is listed on the next page.

In addition:

• Until HCT is developed, existing local bus service would be improved to operate frequently to start providing improved service to future HCT passengers

• RTC would pursue public-Private Partnerships to build Transit-Oriented Developments (TOD) along High Capacity Transit routes that could generate on-going revenue and increase transit use.

2OverviewAs Southern Nevada continues to grow, there will be a need for more robust transit services. On Board will increase service in the region in line with this growth and expand service to new areas, with service tailored to match local demands. This will mean frequent service for longer hours in many areas, as well as new approaches such as demand responsive services and partnerships with companies like Uber and Lyft. In all cases, transit services will reflect local needs while also being cost effective.

On Board’s goal is to expand transit service so that 75% of the region’s residents are within a ½ mile of bus service, and 100% of the region will have access to some type of public transportation service.

Fewer Traffic Jams


Better Connectivity












Projects and ProgramsMaking short trips easier and safer will require improvements to most aspects of the non-auto-centric transportation realm: sidewalks, crosswalks, transit stops, bike facilities, and connections between nearby destinations. On Board includes the following projects that can implement those improvements:

Implement Complete Streets Program

Implement Walkability Infrastructure and Education Program

Improve Amenities at Bus Stops

Make Crosswalk Improvements along Major Corridors

Develop Mid-Block Pedestrian Crossings At Long Block Segments And High Traffic Volumes

Develop Regional Mobility Hubs

Develop Neighborhood Mobility Hubs

Improve Wayfinding in High Volume Pedestrian Locations

OverviewSome seniors, veterans and people with disabilities have difficulty finding transportation services that meet their needs. The RTC already provides service aimed at these populations with on-demand transportation programs and bus routes that connect senior communities with activity centers, like shopping centers, medical services and recreational areas. On Board will go beyond existing programs to include strategies to expand transportation services to more areas so they can serve more people. Recommendations also add new technologies to make it easier to plan, book and pay for trips (but also maintain existing methods).

Providing specialized access to transit for people who cannot easily use regular transit services increases mobility for our region’s residents who have the greatest need. Expanded programs will make it easier for these population to participate in daily life and ensure they have access to employment, health facilities, and community services.

Proposed Services to Resort Corridor Employee Entrances7

OverviewOver 30% of the region’s jobs are along the “Resort Corridor.” A large proportion of employees who work at the resorts must enter and exit through “back-of-house” entrances that that are not well served by transit. On Board will develop routes and public transit services that operate directly to and from the Resort Corridor, with short waits and convenient and reliable service to employee entrances.

BIG MOVE #7:Provide Reliable Transit for Resort Corridor Employees

15



Nearly 50% of survey respondents asked for better service to the Strip and Downtown

55% of survey respondents supported improving access to jobs, housing, and medical services

44% of survey respondents supported reducing costs for lower income communities

8OverviewAs technology changes transportation, RTC will find the most promising options to help Southern Nevada. On Board projects will make it easier to plan, book and pay for trips. Projects include real-time bus arrival information, more options for using smart phones to pay transit fares, and trip planners that include information about a variety of transportation services, including rideshare. On Board will also develop clean fuel technologies, such as a public electric vehicle charging network, and transition RTC’s buses to an all-electric transit fleet.

Metropolitan Planning Subcommittee

A 1 3

1On Board 4pJn Points

Southern Nevada’s local and regional agencies started a new planning effort toaccommodate and manage the region’s future growth and coming transformations backin 2012. After the Southern Nevada Strong Regional Plan was completed in 2015, theRTC started developing new transportation-related responses to growth.

> Since 2015, we have talked with tens of thousands of Southern Nevadans about theirtop priorities for transportation and mobility.

> The first major program was FRI-2 in 2016, which addressed the top road-relatedpriorities.

On Board addresses the rest of the transportation system and the many remainingmobility needs and priorities.

On Board has been a two-year project with substantial community engagement, dataanalysis, and applied expertise from local and national mobility experts to identifysolutions that would work for Southern Nevada.

> There are EIGHT BIG MOBILITY MOVES we need to make:

o Build High Capacity Transit

o Expand Transit Service to Maximize Access to Jobs and Homes

o Make All Travel Options Safer and More Secure

o Make Short Trips Easier and Safer

o Expand Dedicated Service for Seniors, Veterans, and People with Disabilities

o Improve Resident Connections to Major Destinations

o Provide Reliable Transit for Resort Corridor Employees

o Leverage New Technology to Improve Mobility and Sustainability

Overall, these moves improve quality of life in Southern Nevada and prepare theregion’s transportation system for our expected growth over the next two decades:

o They would make transportation safer, more convenient, and more comfortable.

o They would make the entire transportation system more reliable and providepeople with more choices for travel.

o They would help maximize regional economic competitiveness and improvetransportation sustainability.

Our analysis shows that the cumulative benefits to the region and people would farexceed the investment costs.

> Next we need to figure out how and when to implement and pay for these moves; morespecifically the roughly 50 projects or programs that would implement the moves.

> Over the next few years we also need to monitor emerging technologies andtransportation disruptions, identify “trigger points” for when to make coursecorrections, and keep the plan “future proof” as it is implemented.

Item #11 — Backuo Material 1

RTC MPO 2020 Regional Planning Annual Work ProgramFor SNS Plan Administration Annual

(For Amendment into the RTC Unified Planning Work Program as non-PL funded activities)

Task 700: Regional Policy Plan AdministrationThese activities define the Core Administration functions for the Southern Nevada StrongRegional Plan, which the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) agreed to assume uponadoption of the Plan in 2015. Administration consists of planning, coordinating, and eithermanaging or encouraging the implementation of the Regional Plan. Because implementation ofthe Regional Plan — or conforming to it — is voluntary, administering the plan without authorityto implement most (non-transportation) parts is a challenge for the administrator. The goals ofadministering the Regional Plan on behalf of the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalitionare two-fold:

First, perform the regional plan-related tasks identified in Nevada Revised Statutes tohelp advance the legislative intent of regional planning identified in NRS277.02521; and

Second, perform the “Building Capacity for Implementation” tasks identified in the SNSRegional Plan Implementation Matrix for the RTC to lead.

Regional Plan Administration will consist of the following sub-tasks:

Sub-Task 700-1000: Regional Plan Core Administration:UAs designated by the SNRPC in accordance with NRS 277.02528(4) to administer the RegionalPolicy Plan, the RTC MPO team will perform the NRS-identified tasks specifically related to theRegional Plan. These primarily include performing plan conformity review in accordance withNRS 277.02577.

Activities:(1) Develop a framework for collaborative, consistent, and clear conformity review [Note: it

is anticipated that conformity reports will be presented to the SNRPC Board for anypotential formal actions] (Timeline: 2-4 months);

(2) Work with the City of Las Vegas to conduct collaborative conformity review throughoutthe development of its Master Plan (Match timeline to City schedule);

(3) Collaborate with Clark County to establish the conformity review process for itsupcoming comprehensive plan update (Match timeline to County schedule); and

(4) Conduct conformity review for any plans or plan elements that local partners developduring the year. (Timeline: Continuous throughout year)

Sub-Task 700-1100: Regional Plan Updates:As needed, the RTC MPO will develop and propose to the SNRPC potential updates of the SNSRegional Plan, in accordance with NRS 277.02528.

Activities:(1) Complete current efforts to update the Opportunity Sites plans (Timeline: TBD);

1

Preliminary Discussion Draft: 12 Nov 2019

(2) Review the SNS Vision Map to assess whether new developments/plans including OnBoard and Access2O4O, Henderson Strong, the CLV Master Plan update, the upcomingClark County Master Plan update, as well as ground-truthing actual developments since2014, indicate necessary revisions. (Timeline: 4-6 months; complete by August 2020)

Sub-Task 700-1200: Indicator Tracking and Mapping:As the RTC has done from the start of its SNS Regional Plan administration activities, the MPOteam will track key indicators relating to elements of the SNS plan.

Activities(1) Update current SNS Indicators Dashboard (Annual ongoing activity; deadline TED);(2) Collaborate with the Brookings Institute to develop a Southern Nevada version of the

Economic Value Atlas (Timeline: TED).

Sub-Task 700-1300: Citizens’ Planning Academythe MPO team will work with local jurisdictions on developing a citizens’ planning academy. Inalternating years, the focus would shift between an academy focused on explaining planningissues to the general public, and one focused on providing briefing and trainings for localappointed board members.

Sub-Task 700-1400: Annual Southern Nevada Strong Implementation ReportThe MPO team will prepare a report summarizing activities related to SNS implementation bylocal agencies and other SNS stakeholders. This report would probably be released concurrentlywith the annual update of the indicators dashboard.

Task 800: Regional Planning and Research[NOTE: This section still under development; RTC staff-identified and recommended projects areidentified below; basic project descriptions and purposes are provided; additional information ispreliminary]

Sub-Task 800-1010: Future Housing Inventory and Needs AnalysisThis study will apply established methodology to examine current demographic trends andprojections to estimate future (10-20 years) housing needs for the region, then comparecurrent zoning and land use plans to assess the provision of housing. The resulting analysis mayidentify surpluses and gaps across the region.

[Staff Note: this type of study is being conducted by most major region MPOs, as theconnection between housing and workforce transportation is increasingly recognized as animportant transportation-related issue.]

Timeline: 9-12 months; start Jan-Feb 2020

2

Preliminary Discussion Draft: 12 Nov 2019

Sub-Task 800-1020: Extreme Heat Events Coordinated Response StudySouthern Nevada has been identified as one of the fastest warming regions in the country, andrecent research has indicated a substantial risk of heat-related deaths. In conversations with avariety of stakeholders (Health District, local agencies and NGOs, NV Energy, and RIC transit)RTC has learned that - although most agencies have responses in place for extreme heat events- there is little to no coordination. This study would be much like the Human ServicesCoordinated Transportation Plan that RTC is currently developing; identify all the resources,identify all the needs and risks, identify the gaps, and then try to ID ways to fill those gaps.

[Staff Note: Given all the recent data and trends, this study seems very relevant, timely, andimportant to the region.]

Timeline: 3-6 months; start ASAP; target completion before summer 2020

Sub-Task 800-1030: Inventory of Regional Sustainability Planning Tools and TechniquesThere has been substantial discussion about the need for sustainability planning in SouthernNevada. This would be a relatively quick review of how other large regions address this. Fromconversations with other MPOs, there appear to be two approaches: (1) each local agencycompletes their own plan, and then a regional agency pulls them together into some type ofconsolidated plan; or (2) the regional agency and local agencies all work together to producesimultaneous local and regional plans.

[Staff Note: this would be a fairly quick process but would probably lead to discussions withstakeholders during or immediately upon completion about whether and how to proceed witha subsequent project to implement one of the two approaches identified above.]

Timeline: 2-4 months; start TBD

Sub-Task 800-xxxx: Tree Canopy Social Equity Impacts Research Project(in coordination with SNWA) - The MPO team would work with SNWA on their planned

assessment of the regional tree canopy. Specifically, we would handle examination of the socialequity aspects of the region’s tree canopy, while they would study the actual coverage, types ofcanopy, future heat impacts, etc.

[Staff Note: Staff proposes to work further with SNWA to develop this project and betterunderstand the timeline and level of effort. Staff recommends listing it as a future project.Depending on timing of the SNWA project the RTC effort may start in 2020.]

Timeline: IBD; start and completion TBD

REGIONAL WORK PROGRAM

Task 501: Regional Policy Plan Administration The following work activities will be conducted by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, as the region’s designated Metropolitan Planning Organization, to administer the Southern Nevada Strong Regional Plan. In completing these activities the MPO will follow established best practices for conducting a continuous, cooperative, and comprehensive planning process, and – to the maximum extent possible – conform to the metropolitan transportation planning procedures described in 23 CFR 450 (“Statewide and Nonmetropolitan Transportation Planning and Metropolitan Transportation Planning”). Task 501 and relevant sub-tasks define the Core Administration functions for the Southern Nevada Strong Regional Plan, which the Regional Transportation Commission (RTC) agreed to assume upon adoption of the Plan in 2015. Administration consists of planning, coordinating, and either managing or encouraging the implementation of the Regional Plan. Because implementation of the Regional Plan – or conforming to it – is voluntary, administering the plan without authority to implement most (non-transportation) parts requires focusing efforts on supporting local governments and stakeholders as they implement the Regional Plan. The goals of administering the Regional Plan on behalf of the Southern Nevada Regional Planning Coalition are two-fold:

First, perform the regional plan-related tasks identified in Nevada Revised Statutes to help advance the legislative intent of regional planning identified in NRS 277.02521; and Second, perform the “Building Capacity for Implementation” tasks identified in the SNS Regional Plan Implementation Matrix for the RTC to lead.

Specific Sub-Tasks are: 501-1000-20: Regional Plan Core Administration 501-1010-20: Regional Plan Updates 501-1050-20: Indicator Tracking and Mapping 501-1100-20: Community Planning Academy 501-1150-20: Outreach and Communications 501-1160-20: Annual Southern Nevada Strong Implementation Report Task 501, 20202-2021 Budget The following costs are included in Task 501:

Sub-Task 601-1020-20: Extreme Heat Events Coordinated Response Study Purpose: Southern Nevada has been identified as one of the fastest warming regions in the country, and recent research has indicated a substantial risk of heat-related deaths from an increasing number and duration of extreme heat events in the region. In conversations with a variety of stakeholders, RTC has learned that - although many local agencies have responses in place for extreme heat events - there is no consolidated assessment of vulnerability risk, no current inventory of related resources, and little coordination of responses and services. This study will look at the emergency response system and analyze its ability to respond to extreme heat incidents and other concerns. Previous Work: Methodology:

Identify existing services, systems, and resources

Identify all the gaps, needs, and risks Participating Agencies:

3-6 months; target completion before summer 2020



Sub-Task 601-1030-20: Inventory of Regional Sustainability Planning Tools and Techniques Purpose: There has been substantial discussion about the need for sustainability planning in Southern Nevada. Prior to this full undertaking, the MPO staff will perform a quick review of how other large regions address sustainability. Learning from other MPOs, there appear to be two approaches: (1) each local agency completes their own plan, and then a regional agency pulls them together into some type of consolidated plan; or (2) the regional agency and local agencies all work together to simultaneously produce regional goals, and local and regional sustainability plans. Through research and interviews, the MPO staff will create a report that identifies specific practices and methodologies of sustainability planning to share with the public agencies within Southern Nevada. This work will be used to plan and develop a future sustainability plan following the recommendation from local agencies. Previous Work: Methodology:

Identifying existing sustainability plans at agency and community level

Preparing report about scale, scope, outreach, methods, and other relevant processes

Present findings to RTC working groups to obtain recommendation on future work program
