Mayor Haynie asked for discussion regarding accepting the compliance plan.  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 2 of 14 Mr. Brimmer moved to approve the Title VI plan as presented by staff; motion seconded by Mr. Bustos. Motion carried unanimously. 4. Annual selection of Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax (TST) and Charleston County Transportation Committee (CTC) projects Mr. Aton stated that a memo was submitted to Committee outlining a list of intersection, drainage and pedestrian/bicycle projects that staff has ranked and is seeking approval from Committee to proceed with submittal to County for Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax (TST) and Charleston County Transportation Committee (CTC) for funding. Mr. DeMoura stated that if Committee desired, staff could provide a synopsis of the projects and how each project is ranked. Mr. Aton stated that there are two (2) intersection improvements that were developed in the Transportation Department. Mayor Haynie asked Mr. Aton if an overhead graphic was available for reference. Mr. Aton replied in the negative stating a memo had been submitted to Committee prior to the Transportation Committee meeting. Mr. Aton stated that the list provided to Committee has projects listed in order by their ranking, prioritizing the Mathis Ferry Road at Lauda Drive turn lane and signal installation improvements. The project would be in coordination with the opening of the new Lucy Beckham High School and the improvements are necessary to facilitate better traffic flows through the intersection. Belle Hall Parkway and Paul Foster Road intersection improvements are a result from resident requests for an all-way stop. The intersection does not meet the warrants for an all way stop but the Town does own existing right of way at the intersection there is potential to design and install a mini roundabout. Mr. Brimmer stated that it was his understanding that when Indigo Square was approved, the developer would be responsible to contributing to the intersection improvements. Mr. Lykins answered in the affirmative.  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 3 of 14 Mr. Brimmer inquired if the cost reflected in the memo is the Town’s obligation or the total cost of the project. Mr. Lykins replied that the developer was to contribute to the construction cost of the turn lane onto US-17 and was unsure if the developer was supposed to contribute to the Lauda Drive intersection and an additional turn lane on Mathis Ferry Road. Mr. Aton stated that the proposed drainage improvements will include the Shem Creek Park parking lot to improve water quality prior to discharging into Shem Creek. Mayor Haynie asked for clarification that area being referred to is the parking area located at the restroom facilities and entrance to the boardwalk. Mr. Aton replied in the affirmative stating the area is on the Shrimp Boat Lane side of Shem Creek and currently there are some issues with the gravel having to be re-graded on a consistent basis and lessening the quality of run-off into Shem Creek. Improvements would provide a more pervious and stable structure, improving water quality and the overall quality of the parking area. Mayor Haynie asked if the improvement would involve paving with a pervious surface. Mr. Aton replied that Hillary Repik, Town of Mount Pleasant Stormwater Division Chief, will address aspects of the drainage projects. Ms. Repik stated that currently the parking area is using a sand shell material and although the project is not in full design, staff could send the project to Charleston County to incorporate a paver style system that provides more stability and the porosity than the sand shell offers. There are deep potholes within the parking area and during large rain events, the materials are washing away. Mayor Haynie inquired if a timeline for the project had been established. Mr. Repik replied a timeline is completely dependent on the CTC/TST committee selecting a Town project explaining that if the project is not selected, staff will consider the issue as internal maintenance project with Town.  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 4 of 14 Mayor Haynie commented that the area is visited by many tourists and resolving the issue sooner in the off season is better. Ms. Repik agreed, stating a contractor is on a schedule to grade and blade the area, but the area does need more attention and staff is working with Town maintenance crews for better upkeep and the sand shell that is currently in use needs to be replaced with a material that is more permanent and stable. Mayor Haynie asked if the parking area would remain a pervious surface. Ms. Repik replied in the affirmative stating that the areas would include the parking at Shem Creek Park and a strip on Shrimp Boat Lane near Vickery’s Bar and Grill that is also a public parking area. Mr. Aton continued stating that the second drainage improvement would encompass roadside ditch restoration in the Darrell Creek and Commonwealth neighborhoods. Ms. Repik stated that large drainage canal issues along Town owned roads are being addressed though the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and the Capital Maintenance Plan (CMP). There are several Town roadways within the neighborhoods that have roadside ditch systems using different sized pipes that were not installed to Town standards before the properties were annexed, and we would like to have the ditches surveyed to install the correct size pipes and have the system graded out. If the County does not select this project, we will continue to try and incorporate the project into our long-term program. Mayor Haynie inquired if the linear footage was known. Ms. Repik replied in the affirmative stating that some linear footage was provided in the original submittal with an approximate total of two (2) miles. If funding is not available, project areas can be addressed one section at a time. Mr. Brimmer asked if both neighborhoods are entirely within the Town. Ms. Repik replied that there are several parcels that remain within the County and that it is anticipated that those parcels will be annexed.  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 5 of 14 Mayor Haynie asked that, with the drainage needs we know of within the Town, how do we select this project at a cost of one million dollars ($1,000,000) when there are other areas of Town that could use one million dollars ($1,000,000) in drainage improvements. Ms. Repik replied that with the street ditch program, the focus is first on Town roadways with roadside ditches to ensure that Town-owned infrastructure is maintained. Candlewood and Pine Hollow are two of the neighborhoods within the Town that have roadside ditches and projects have been completed in those neighborhoods, the remainder of roadways with roadside ditches are South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT or DOT) roadways. The goal is to prioritize Town- owned roads and then work backwards. Mayor Haynie asked for clarification that the reason the project has been selected is because it is Town-owned. Mr. Bustos commented that Rifle Range Road has a lot of open ditches and floods and asked if the roads were Town roads. Ms. Repik replied that the Rifle Range Road is a DOT road system along with all primary roadways. Work orders are submitted to the DOT when there flooding issues and staff is working toward a goal having the DOT establish a regular maintenance program. Ms. Bustos commented that the roadway is narrow road and there is not much of a shoulder before the ditch. Ms. Repik stated portions of the roadway have been piped with sidewalk projects and there will be future sidewalk projects, but the current goal is to establish a maintenance schedule with the DOT to try and improve the ditch and its functionality. Piping the ditch system is a much larger capital investment. Mr. Bustos stated that at some point the ditches will need to be piped due to the increase of automobiles on Rifle Range Road and the shoulder becomes narrower.  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 6 of 14 Mr. Aton continued stating that pedestrian and bicycle improvements are broken out into two (2) sections; higher speed/higher volume routes and lower speed/lower volume routes. The projects are ranked based off the Town’s sidewalk evaluation matrix that has been recently developed in coordination with the previous county weighting system and the system is also used for CMP sidewalk projects. Projects include sidewalks on Rifle Range Road from Hamlin Road to Porcher’s Bluff Road sidewalk and Porcher’s Bluff Road from the roundabout to South Morgan’s Point Road Mayor Haynie stated that there has been concerned about the risks bicycles pose on Rifle Range Road and that is a state road and asked if a sidewalk is installed on Rifle Range Road, will cyclists be allowed to ride bicycles on the sidewalk. Mr. DeMoura replied that law is not enforced. Mr. Lykins commented that the State statute indicates sidewalks are for pedestrian use, but since the law is not enforced bicyclists, can ride on the sidewalk. Mayor Haynie expressed that he has experienced some close calls on that stretch of road at night that were scary as a vehicle operator and if a sidewalk is installed, it is different than a bike lane in that we cannot enforce cyclists to ride on the sidewalk. Mr. Lykins stated that in addition to this project staff has also identified Rifle Range Road pedestrian facility improvements in the CIP. Mr. Bustos commented that the shoulder will need to be widened before that can be accomplished. Mr. Lykins agreed stating it would be a sizable project. Mayor Haynie asked if these funds are from the County. Mr. Lykins stated that the projects staff is submitting to Committee for approval are lower level projects that the County requests from all the municipalities each year. The projects being discussed are annual allocation projects ranging around five hundred thousand dollars to approximately one million dollars ($500,000-$1,000,000) and are not the bonded projects like  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 7 of 14 the projects on SC-41 or I-526. The project list generally remains the same and projects are rotated off the list as they are completed with new projects being added. Mr. Aton stated that the third project is located on Stuart Engals Boulevard from Bowman Road to Ira Road. Mayor Haynie inquired if the third project is also a sidewalk project. Mr. Aton replied in the affirmative, stating each project listed is a sidewalk project and that the last project listed on the high-volume route is located on Rifle Range Road from Six Mile Road to Hamlin Road. The top ranked project on the lower speed, lower volume routes is located on National Drive from Linksland Road to Victory Point Drive and does have some existing sidewalk that would be connected ultimately up to US-17 intersection. Mr. Brimmer applauded the project ranking, stating that it has been an ongoing dangerous situation. Mr. Aton continued stating that other projects included locations on Whilden Street from Hibben Street to Venning Street, noting that there is existing sidewalk on one side of this roadway and this project would add a sidewalk on the other side of the roadway. Cottingham Drive from Pelzer Drive to the Johnnie Dodds Boulevard frontage road that would tie into the existing County project that is being re-bid for sidewalk along Pelzer Drive from Coleman Boulevard to the intersection of Cottingham Drive. Mayor Haynie asked if the Cottingham Drive project would extend a sidewalk from Pelzer Drive to Johnnie Dodds Boulevard. Mr. Aton replied in the affirmative. Mayor Haynie stated that the right of way already exists and asked for clarification that no acquisition would be needed to take the sidewalk that far. Mr. Aton replied in the affirmative continuing that other projects include sidewalks on Pherigo Street from Coleman Boulevard to McCants’s Drive, Live Oak Drive from Bennett Street to Haddrell Street, Royall Avenue from McCants Drive to Center Street, Wakendaw Road from Whipple Road to  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 8 of 14 Trident Academy, Oakhaven Boulevard from Rifle Range Road to Oak Landing Road and Deer Creek Road from the existing sidewalk to Commonwealth Road. Mr. Brimmer stated that there had been a previous discussion between several Council members and the Grassy Creek Community approximately a year ago where residents expressed the need for a sidewalk along Seacoast Parkway and inquired if that need was evaluated. Mr. DeMoura answered in the affirmative and stated the project has been funded. Mr. Lykins noted that the project has been funded and an update is included in agenda item number five. Mr. Bustos commented that there is no sidewalk on the portion of Coleman between Whilden Street to Hibben Street, forcing pedestrians to either use other streets and walking extra blocks or walk in Coleman Boulevard and asked if the issue has ever been discussed. Mr. Lykins replied in the affirmative explaining that the issue is that the existing building is in the right of way as result the Coleman Boulevard widening in 1958 and the DOT cut the building off and put it behind the back of the curb. To install a sidewalk in that location would be a difficult task and be major acquisition on that parcel. A bike lane will be installed on Coleman Boulevard but there is not enough room for a sidewalk. When the property is redeveloped a sidewalk will be obtainable. Mr. Bustos stated that the building is small and asked how large the parcel is. Mr. Lykins replied that he did not know how large the parcel is and that the building is located the curb with two (2) large air-conditioning units. Mr. Bustos asked if the Town is considering this option. Mr. Lykins answered in the affirmative. Mayor Haynie asked if staff needed recommendation from Committee to proceed with the recommendations. Mr. DeMoura answered in the affirmative.  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 9 of 14 Mayor Haynie asked if Committee has options to revise the project list noting that the deadline for submission is February 18, 2018. Mr. DeMoura replied in the affirmative stating that staff will confirm the deadline via email and the project list can be submitted on the last day of the deadline and if Committee desires, the projects can be further discussed with staff. Mr. Bustos moved to make the recommendation to approve the selection for County Transportation Sales Tax and County Transportation Committee projects as presented by staff; motion seconded by Mr. Brimmer. Motion carried unanimously. 5. Update – ongoing projects a. Update on intersection improvements for US17/Faison Road and Park Avenue Boulevard/Faison Road Mayor Haynie stated that Agenda Item 5. a. was the only project update listed and asked Mr. Lykins if he would like to provide Committee with other project updates. Mr. Lykins replied that updates on other CIP projects are available and Committee could be briefed, but that there have not been many changes from the previous month. Mayor Haynie asked to begin with an update on Agenda Item 5. a. at the request of Mr. Bustos and any remaining time can be used to highlight other updates. Mr. Aton stated that staff was directed by Committee to investigate the intersections of US-17 at Faison Road and Park Boulevard at Faison Road and a memo has been provided to Committee with details. A signal is currently under construction for the intersection of US-17 at Faison Road and will be operational this summer. Mayor Haynie asked for clarification the signal will be installed on US-17. Mr. Aton replied in the affirmative, stating that the intersection of Park Avenue Boulevard and Faison Road does not meet warrants for a signal based  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 10 of 14 off traffic counts from 2016. Staff would like to utilize an on-call consultant to obtain a current traffic count and to project traffic volumes based on known developments that are approved and currently under construction to determine when and if a signal will be warranted for this intersection. Mayor Haynie commented that it would be the aim to have some concurrency with our infrastructure and planned development so that we know almost certainty with how many units will be built in the planned development agreement area to identify the threshold of when signal warrants will be met. Mr. Aton explained there are currently nine (9) warrants listed in the Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) that Town, State and Federal DOT’s adhere to and only a few of the nine (9) warrants apply to this specific scenario. One warrant is an eight (8) hour vehicle count warrant and the other warrant is a four (4) hour vehicle count warrant. There are certain thresholds with volumes on the mainline and in this scenario, Park Avenue Boulevard and the side street of Faison Road have been met in concurrence during the same eight (8) or four (4) hour periods to warrant the installation of a signal. With a more current count and projected volumes based off the development and commercial or residential units going in, we should be able to determine if a signal will meet warrants. Mr. Brimmer commented that there has been more construction since 2016 and with more construction anticipated, now is the time to re-evaluate the intersection. When discussions occur regarding transportation, especially in the north end of Town, much of the conversation revolves around Park West and Carolina Park, while Charleston National is rarely addressed. Through our discussion today, it is nice that Charleston National will be acquiring some sidewalks and intersection improvements. Mr. Bustos noted that 2016 was before Oceanside Collegiate Academy was built and that has added greatly to the traffic in addition to Costco and the senior living home and it is important with future development the numbers be recalculated. Mayor Haynie stated that during a major road construction project traffic patterns are altered and asked about increased traffic in the Old Village area  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 11 of 14 from the Coleman Boulevard Revitalization project and what might be considered in terms of traffic mitigation or traffic calming to protect those neighborhoods. Mr. Lykins replied that he is unaware of any traffic calming measures that can be implemented on a temporary basis. Mayor Haynie asked if temporary strips could be installed to slow traffic or if there were other alternatives. In most places where road construction has occurred, i.e., Park West Boulevard Widening project, the natural way will not to be to cut through the residential street but in this case, it is. Mr. Aton stated that any recommendations for traffic calming measures or signage would have to be submitted through DOT for their encroachment process and approval being that most of the roads in that area are State owned road and anything that the Town moves forward with will have to go through a full review. Mr. DeMoura stated that typically in the past, the State will allow the locality to install something or implement something they are comfortable with it. One option that may be quicker than having to wait for an approval is direct enforcement as a quick visual signal that the roads are being monitored closely for drivers who may be using the roads within the Old Village area as an alternative to Coleman Boulevard. Mayor Haynie stated the issue is something to be considered for CIP projects because there is concern that with Long Point Road Extension and Realignment project, drivers may cut through Snee Farm to avoid road construction. Alternatives to protect neighborhoods from cut through traffic during road construction projects should be investigated and will be appreciated by the residents. Mr. DeMoura stated that the electronic warning signs have been effective in that area. Mr. Aton stated the natural cut through route to avoid Coleman Boulevard would be to take Whilden Street and Royall Avenue, which currently has speed humps in place, to McCants Drive, which has four (4) driver feedback  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 12 of 14 signs installed and any additional measures will need to go through the DOT approval process. Staff will be presenting the results of the effectiveness of the signs to Committee at the six (6) month mark of the signs being installed. Mayor Haynie asked what the signs are called that were installed on McCants Drive. Mr. Aton replied the signs are driver feedback signs. Mayor Haynie inquired what the time frame would be for Committee to receive a report based on the data collected from the driver feedback signs. Mr. Aton replied stating that the signs collect real time data twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week and can be downloaded to analyze the eighty fifth percentile (85 %-tile) speed traffic volumes. Mayor Haynie asked for clarification the data will provide speed and volumes. Mr. Aton replied in the affirmative state it will give us volumes and speeds. Mr. Bustos stated that there will be medians on Coleman Boulevard and those medians were often said to provide a safe place to cross the street and I feel that it is kind of an attractive nuisance because people will cross mid-block because they do not want to walk from Fairmont down to Pherigo Street so they are going to cross somewhere mid-block and now that will be happening in front of Moultrie Middle School. I think we need to consider installing street crossings there that are marked. I know that is going to further slow the traffic at that location, but residents coming from the Boulevard are not going to walk to the signal that is going to be installed at Pherigo Street. Marked or raised crosswalks will provide pedestrians some measure of safety as they cross the street. Mr. Lykins stated that staff can discuss the issue with SCDOT as to what is allowed at that location. Mr. Bustos commented that there are crosswalks on Sullivan’s Island that have a small sign within the crosswalk and all traffic must stop. Pedestrians need to have a way where they are herded to an area rather than just, at will, cross the street.  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 13 of 14 Mr. Lykins stated that the issue was recently discussed at the Council Retreat and that decorative fencing had been installed on the University of South Carolina campus in Columbia and now students use the pedestrian signals instead of crossing the street mid-block. Mr. Bustos reiterated that he did not want to cut pedestrians off from being able to cross the street mid-block because it be worse for the businesses, but I do think they should have a safe way to cross the street. Mr. Brimmer stated that the Seacoast Parkway Project is funded and asked if a timeline has been established or if the project was in design explaining that this item is a result of a community meeting where Council members were invited to listing to resident concerns and is a good example of when a community gets together and shares their concerns with elected officials, it is a good way for the Town to know where the problems are and determine if the issues can be addressed and this project is a result of that discussion. I encourage other neighborhoods within the Town to contact Ms. Sims and schedule meetings because they are very productive for Council as well as for the neighborhoods. Mr. Lykins stated that the list provided to Committee are the projects that the County will be responsible for within the sales tax program. The largest is the SC-41 widening project and smaller projects include the Park West Boulevard left turn lane and the sidewalk on Anna Knapp Boulevard. The Seacoast Parkway sidewalk project has been funded for 2018 and design is expected to begin in 2019. Mr. Brimmer inquired if the neighborhoods have been notified that the project will happen. Mr. DeMoura stated that the staff will reach out to the homeowner’s association (HOA). 6. Adjourn There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned at 2:34 p.m. Respectfully submitted by, Cathy Godsey  Transportation Committee Minutes February 5, 2018 Page 14 of 14 February 8, 2018  DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION MEMORANDUM To: Mayor William Haynie Transportation Committee From: Brad Morrison Cc: Eric DeMoura Date: February 1, 2018 Re: Charleston County Transportation Sales Tax (TST) and Charleston County Transportation Committee (CTC) Annual Project Rankings ______________________________________________________________________________ The purpose of this memo is to address Agenda Item #4 of the February Transportation Committee meeting. Staff recently received application requests for Charleston County’s fiscal year 2019 Transportation Sales Tax (TST) Annual Allocation Projects. TST projects must fall within the category of Local Paving (earth roads), Intersection Improvements, Drainage Improvements, and Pedestrian/Bicycle Enhancements. These projecst are evaluated county-wide through an Objective Evaluation and Prioritization Process to determine which projects are selected for funding. Historically, the annual allocation from previous years has been $2M for Local Paving, $2M for Intersection Improvements, $0.5M for Drainage Improvements, $1M for Pedestrian/Bicycle Enhancements, and $1M for County Council/Public Works prjects. Projects by category are listed below for consideration. The Intersection Improvements are mainly composed of projects that were submitted for last year’s TST, but were not funded. The Pedestrian and Bicycle projects are also projects that were submitted for last year’s TST, but were not funded. The ranking for the Pedestrian and Bicycle projects has been modified using a Sidewalk Evaluation Matrix recently developed by staff (see attachment for example of the sidewalk evaluation matrix). Once the Committee and Town Council have confirmed the prioritization of these projects, projects will be submitted for TST funding by Charleston County. Once projects are selected for TST funding, the remaining highest ranking intersection and pedestrian and bicycle improvement projects that fall within the funding range of $250-350K will then be submitted by staff as the prioritized list for the CTC annual request. 100 ANN EDWARDS LANE, MOUNT PLEASANT, SC 29464 TEL: (843) 856-3080 WWW.TOMPSC.COM  FY - 2019 TST and CTC Project Ranking & Request Intersection Improvements 1.)
