8.    FFYs 2023–27 TIP Amendment Four—MBTA Tables (html)

E. Lapointe stated that the FFYs 2023–27 TIP Amendment Four proposed the programming of a SMART Grant Award for the MetroWest Regional Transit Authority (MWRTA), two cost increases for highway projects, MBTA Capital Investment Plan updates, and MBTA grant awards.

The MWRTA was awarded a SMART Grant from the United States Department of Transportation, created by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to Strengthen Mobility and Revolutionize Transportation (SMART) to advance innovative technologies. The grant will support a project to install solar power and battery banks for on-site energy and to power MWRTA’s electric fleet. The project has a budget of $985,000.

Project #607327, Wilmington-Bridge Replacement, W038-002, Route 38 (Main Street) over the B&M Railroad, has a cost increase of $3,246,691 due to its recent 100 percent design submission.

Project #607244, Winthrop-Reconstruction and Related Work along Winthrop Street and Reverse Street Corridor, has a cost increase of $787,655 due to the project reaching the Plans, Specifications, and Estimates stage of development.

E. Lapointe presented updates to the MBTA’s financing through Section 5307, Section 5337, Section 5339, the Railroad Rehabilitation and Improvement Financing (RRIF)/Transportation Infrastructure Finance and Innovation Act (TIFIA), and grant award programs.

10. Summary of Final FFYs 2024–28 TIP Programming Scenario—Ethan Lapointe, MPO Staff

Documents posted to the MPO meeting calendar

9.    FFYs 2024–28 TIP Final Programming Scenario (pdf)

10. FFYs 2024–28 TIP Final Programming Scenario (html)

E. Lapointe summarized the final FFYs 2024–28 TIP programming scenario, as voted on by the MPO board on March 30, 2023. E. Lapointe requested action from the board to approve the final details and modifications of the draft scenario.

Three public comments were received since the March 30, 2023, meeting. The first comment was in support of the Medford Bluebikes expansion project, Bikeshare, and Complete Streets. The second comment concerned damage observed on an active construction project on the Bruce Freeman Rail Trail in Acton. The third comment was in support of the addition of a Bikeshare Support investment program in the Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and the TIP beginning in FFY 2025.

E. Lapointe stated that the amendments to increase the Project Design Support Pilot to $4 million in FFY 2025 and to fund Advance Construction of Rutherford Avenue for $8.6 million in FFY 2027 did not account for inflation in their projections. The proposed remaining unprogrammed Regional Highway Target Funds percentage, by FFY, is found in Table 7.

Table 7
FFYs 2024–28 TIP Unprogrammed Regional Highway Target Funds

 

 

E. Lapointe stated that three MBTA projects were not inclusive of the MBTA match, resulting in budget changes as follows:

·       Columbus Avenue Phase II—$11.7 million (currently $9.4 million)

·       Jackson Square Station Accessibility—$26.3 million (currently $21.0 million)

·       Rail Transformation Early Action—$14.0 million (currently $11.2 million)

E. Lapointe discussed two options to maintain full funding for the three MBTA projects, while accounting for the decrease in available regional target balances in FFYs 2024 and 2025. Option One proposes to maintain project funding levels and decrease the Transit Modernization Set-Aside from $6.5 million to $2 million in FFY 2025. This option lowers the regional target balances in FFYs 2024 and 2025. Option Two increases the Regional Target balances in FFYs 2024 and 2025. Option Two proposes to decrease the FFY 2025 Transit Modernization Set-Aside to $2 million and reduce the Rail Transformation Early Action Items budget in FFY 2024 to $6.05 million.

E. Lapointe stated that the cost increased for Project #605743, Ipswich—Resurfacing and Related Work on Central and South Main Streets. The project proponent submitted updated 25 percent design plans on March 29, 2023, which indicated a cost increase from $5.7 million in FFY 2026 to $11.7 million. There is currently an insufficient regional target balance in FFY 2026 to accommodate the cost increase. Staff recommend funding the Ipswich project in FFYs 2026 and 2027 through the Advance Construction mechanism, while removing the $15 million contribution to Project #606728, Boston—Bridge Replacement B-16-365, Storrow Drive over Bowker Ramps, in FFY 2027 to increase the regional target funds.

Discussion

J. Linnell stated that there have been no work scope or cost updates to the three MBTA projects being discussed.

D. Mohler asked if the proposed MBTA adjustment options are for the federal share. J. Linnell responded that the MBTA is seeking the federal share and, for example, the MBTA is seeking $9.4 million for the Columbus Avenue Bus Lanes Phase II project. E. Lapointe stated that the MBTA’s match reduces the overall regional target balance.

E. Bourassa asked for clarification on how the MBTA’s match reduces the regional target balance. T. Teich stated that the current understanding is that the regional target balance includes an assumption of the total federal share plus the relevant match. The funding amount for the MBTA projects approved at the March 30, 2023, MPO board meeting was only inclusive of the federal share.

D. Mohler asked why less funding is proposed for the Transit Modernization program in FFY 2025. E. Lapointe stated that both the MBTA projects and the Transit Modernization program use Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality funding.

Melisa Tintocalis, Town of Burlington, asked for further clarification of the funding changes and what the trade-offs would be if the Rail Transformation line item in Option Two was reduced to a budget of $6.05 million. E. Lapointe stated that the budget reduction would result in defunding the Reading Station improvement.

Darlene Wynne, City of Beverly, asked if the Reading Station improvements would receive funding from other MBTA sources. E. Lapointe stated that the project would need to seek alternative funding options or apply for TIP funding in a future year.

Vote

A motion to approve Option One—Maintain Full Funding for the proposed MBTA projects was made by the MAPC (E. Bourassa) and seconded by the City of Boston (Boston Transportation Department) (Matthew Moran). The motion carried through a roll call vote.

Discussion

E. Bourassa asked what the implications are of fully funding the project in Ipswich, while removing the MPO’s $15 million contribution to the Bowker Overpass project. D. Mohler stated that MassDOT may be able to fully fund the Bowker Overpass project in the State Transportation Improvement Program, but doing so would mean that there would be less capacity to fund other transportation improvements in the Boston region.

David Koses, City of Newton, requested additional information about the Ipswich project. E. Lapointe stated that the resurfacing would include multimodal elements, such as new sidewalks and traffic safety enhancements.

Rick Clarke, Town of Ipswich, spoke about the history of the resurfacing project in Ipswich.

Vote

A motion to approve the recommendation to fund Project #605743, Ipswich—Resurfacing and Related Work on Central and South Main Streets, in   FFYs 2026 and 2027 and remove the $15 million contribution to Project #606728, Boston—Bridge Replacement B-16-365, Storrow Drive over Bowker Ramps, was made by the MAPC (E. Bourassa) and seconded by MassDOT (Marie Rose). The motion carried through a roll call vote.

11. TIP Development: Capital Investment Plan Update—Highway and Transit Project Selection Project—Michelle Scott, MassDOT Staff, and Jillian Linnell, MBTA Staff

D. Mohler stated that this agenda item will be delayed until the April 20, 2023, MPO board meeting.

Representative Michelle Ciccolo spoke in support of the inclusion of Lexington’s Route 4/225 (Bedford Street) and Hartwell Avenue in the Destination 2050 LRTP. Rep. Ciccolo spoke about the regional and local significance of the project and shared that Lexington passed a large zoning reform to support the MBTA Communities Law.

B. Putnam reviewed three public comment letters that were received in advance of the meeting. The first letter came from the Lexington Chamber of Commerce, writing in support of the inclusion of Lexington’s project in Destination 2050. The second letter, from the Town of Lexington, was written in support of Lexington’s project and discussed project updates. The third letter was from the City of Boston’s Chief of Streets, written in support of the Bikeshare Support investment program.

Destination 2040, the previous LRTP, had the following investment programs: Bicycle Network and Pedestrian Connections, Transit Modernization, Complete Streets, Community Connections, Intersection Improvements, and Major Infrastructure.

Staff propose to maintain the following programs: Complete Streets, Major Infrastructure, Intersection Improvements, Bicycle Network and Pedestrian Connections, and Community Connections. Staff recommend adding a Bikeshare Support program and broadening the existing Transit Modernization program into a Transit Transformation program, beginning in FFY 2029.

B. Putnam summarized results from a public survey and a survey sent to board members. There were approximately 250 responses to the public survey, where priority areas were in major transit infrastructure, transit improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian improvements. There were eight responses to the poll of MPO members, with average responses seen in the table below.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Table 8
Destination 2050 Funding Possibilities

 

 

B. Putnam reviewed policies passed by the MPO on October 1, 2020, about including projects in the LRTP. These policies state that the LRTP will only list projects that are federally required to be included in the LRTP and the projects will only be listed for the first two five-year time bands of the LRTP. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) guidance requires regionally significant projects and projects under National Environmental Policy Act review to be included in the LRTP. A regionally significant project is a major infrastructure project or one that changes the capacity of the transportation system. Projects required to be included in the LRTP can be found below.

Table 9
Projects Required to be Included in the LRTP

 

Proponent	Location	Name	ID
MPO	Wrentham	I-495/Route 1A Ramps	603739
MPO	Norwood	Route 1 at University Avenue	605857
MPO	Somerville	McGrath Boulevard	607981
MPO	Boston	Rutherford Avenue	606226
MassDOT	Natick	Routes 9 and 27	605313
MassDOT	Hopkinton	I-495 and I-90 Interchange	607977
MassDOT	Boston	Allston Multimodal	606475

 

B. Putnam discussed funding implications of continuing to fund McGrath Boulevard and Rutherford Avenue in the FFYs 2029–33 time band. If the Major Infrastructure program receives 30 percent of available regional highway target funds, there will be approximately $249.9 million in the program in the FFYs 2029–33 time band. Combined, the two projects are budgeted to cost $187.5 million, leaving $62.4 million for Major Infrastructure projects in the FFYs 2029–33 time band.

Discussion

David Koses, City of Newton, asked what type of projects would be funded in the Transit Transformation program and noted the size of many transit projects. B. Putnam responded that staff would have to further develop the program if the board decides to add it to the LRTP.

L. Diggins asked if additional projects are under consideration to be added to the LRTP. B. Putnam stated that since the development of the Destination 2040 LRTP, FHWA and MassDOT have issued updated guidance to MPOs to only list projects that are required to be included in the LRTP. B. Putnam stated that the guidance allows for maximum flexibility when programming funds in the TIP.

E. Bourassa stated that there should be a discussion about the implications of not listing projects that were previously in the LRTP, due to recent policy changes.

Dennis Giombetti, City of Framingham, spoke about projects in Framingham and stated that a potential perspective from communities is that the MPO is decommitting from their projects. D. Giombetti suggested reexamining the impacted project areas to show continued interest in the project.

13. Final Socioeconomic Projections for the LRTP—Tim Reardon, MAPC Staff

T. Reardon introduced the demographic and economic projections being used to help shape the Destination 2050 LRTP. The projections were developed in a “business as usual” scenario using demographic projections based on patterns from the last decade.

The Boston region experienced a population growth of 9.0 percent from 2010 to 2020. Growth from 2020 to 2050 is expected to slow, increasing by 10 percent. The population of residents 70 and older is projected to have the largest population growth of all age groups. There is little to no growth projected for the population younger than 20.

The number of households are expected to increase by 155,000 new households, 11.7 percent faster than the population. Households headed by people 65 and older account for two thirds of the net household growth. Fewer households are expected to be headed by the population under age 35.

The Boston region is projected to gain approximately 60,000 jobs per decade between 2020 and 2050. The fastest growing sectors are expected to be Information, Education and Health Services, and Professional and Business Services, while the biggest declines are expected in Leisure and Hospitality, Manufacturing, Construction, and Government.

T. Reardon discussed the UrbanSim model used to generate the projections and compared its results for 2020 to preliminary 2020 Census data.

Based on the projected household growth, the estimated housing unit demand for 2020 to 2050 is 187,000 units.

Discussion

D. Koses asked how assisted living facilities are factored into population and household growth projections. T. Reardon stated that assisted living facilities and college dorms are counted as group quarters. For seniors, a set percentage is used to approximate the number of the senior population living in group quarters.

A. Patterson asked if the projections account for rent control measures, recently passed in the City of Boston. T. Reardon stated that information about rent control has not been included. The projections are designed to model the anticipated needed supply.

14. Members’ Items

L. Diggins announced his election for a second term to Arlington’s Select Board.

15. Adjourn

A motion to adjourn was made by the MAPC (E. Bourassa) and seconded by the MBTA Advisory Board (A. Patterson). The motion carried.
