Garza, Crane Engineering /Unitec POA/ Port Grande Development. Mr. Garza, spoke about Item IV.F. Discussion with possible action on the trafficcongestion issues at Unitec Industrial Park, and other matters incident thereto. Mr. Garza, shared somefactual information on the trafficcongestion occurring at mile marker 13. He stated that TxDOT is currently under final design where they would be letting their portion of the projectn next October. Mr. Garza, stated that Unitec had beenaround for over 34 years and the Property Owners Association comprised of over 83 property owners within 9 phases of the park. He also shared that Unitec was comprised of 750 acres, and Port Grande is currently comprised of 270 acres. Some of the most notable users of those facilities for their businesses were, Warner Enterprises, Daniel B. Hastings, Swift Transportation, and a Pilot Travel Center, to name a few. Mr. Garza also stated that the primary development was warehousing and primary access to Unitec was from Carrier Drive and Uniroyal Drive, which both were primary arterials. He continued by stating that the existing street system was 34 years old and required updating. He stated that the companies there experience very heavy traffic congestion problems. These companies employ local families which contribute to the local economy. He continued by sharing that in 2018 the total tax revenue was about $5.2 million and it was projected up to $7.5 millionin property taxes for 2023 whichre represents a 43% increase from 2018. Mr. Garza, stated that over the last 5 years the POA had been working with the County, the City and TxDOT in trying to improve the trafficc circulation wthstrping/e-strping and signage. He also stated that there had been reports from many employees and owners in the area that they've experienced a 60 minutestime delayj just to get out of the park and get home. This could be a potential disaster if there was a first responder call for fire or an emergency. Mr. Garza, also shared some perspective on trafficcount data at the Carrier's Intersection the average daily traffic was 19,400 ADT, within Uniroyal there had been a traffic count of 8,000 ADT, south of the Uniroyal intersection along IH35 the traffic count was 44,000 ADT, and north of the Uniroyal intersectiona along/H35 the traffic count was 29,365 ADT. These figures show an abundance of trafficthat the location had been experiencingand how it had been growing over the years. He further stated that there was additional developmentinthe west side ofl IH35 of over1,000 acres of platting area in the last seven years and TxDOT is in final designfor a newinterchange at Reuthinger, north of Uniroyal. These,'mprovements would help alleviate some oft the traffic. Mr. Garza, also mentioned that the Kansas City Southern Railroad was undero construction which blocked the Uniroyal interchange and any other street crossing that interacts at grade level with the railroad. The bridge under construction is plannedto be finished by March of 2025. Mr. Garza, stated that theirrequest was to extend and industrial arterial to the east and to the north and tie in on the east side of the Reuthinger interchange, SO that a full interchange can be developed and support the Hachar-Reuthinger Road to the West which wouldhelpalleviate the traffice congestion at Unitec Industrial Park. Mr. Garza, stated that they had recently presented a request to City Council and had gotten approval to update the thoroughfare plan for the City to incorporate the Unitec relief route, to authorize a feasibility study, to confirm road alignment and the budgets, to coordinate between the MPO Policy Committee, RMA, TxDOT, the Webb County, and the City of Laredo to prioritize that project and locate some funding sources, and to add the project to the North Laredo TRZ Study. Mr. Garza, asked-the MPO Policy Committee to consider and approve their request as well. Mr. Garza, closedby stating that the benefits ofthe reliefroute wouldinclude, improving the traffic circulation and the level of service for trucks and park employees, it would improve first respondertime withinthe Unitec Park, it wouldimprove safety around the TXDOT construction zones, it would reduce air pollution and, it would also improve hauling cost for companies that work within Unitec.

Mr. Mendive stated that there had been conversations with the Planning Department in looking at how to create connectivity to the future roadways and future outer loop but it would require development to happen for the roads to be put in. He continued stating that through the MPO there was a Congestion Management Plan and strategiesthat could be done beyond building roadways, like shifting working hours, shuttle programs and other different options that could be explored. He also stated these would definitely be addedto the MTP SO it would be looked at with the stakeholdersto make sure the correct roads are identified as well as others that might be needed in the Long-Range Transportation Plan in order to allocate future funding. He added that the MPO could initiate some task force that could help coordinate the way that TxDOT and the private sector was doing with Mines Road and that the MPO Staff was willing to take on that effortif that was feasible. CM. Gutierrez, asked what could be done in the meanwhile, forthe short term. He asked ifthere was a wayt to expand the access road on IH35 heading Northbound, since that was what had been causing all the congestion trying to turn into Unitec itself, and blocking Carriers Drive which servedas one of the exitsfor the Park. Mr. Gonzalez, TxDOT District Engineerreplied that the access road was part ofthe project where they would be reconstructing the overpass. He mentioned that they would be converting the frontage roads from a two-way operation to a one-way operation, to help witht the traffici in that area. CM. Gutierrez, askedi if there was a way to expand that access road for the short term to helpi the people heading southbound. Mr. Mendive, mentioned the idea of having a shuttle for the employees would help reduce the number of vehicles outi there. CM. Gutierrez, mentioned if it was possible to reduce the lanes to 1 lane going into the park and make 3 lanes going out in the afternoon while employeesare trying to get home after work, as a short-term solution. CM. Cigarroa, asked what departments in the city may need to be involved in order to implement as shuttle for the employeesint thatarea.

Mr. Gonzalez, continued by mentioning having staggered hours where not everyone ist trying to go in and leave at the same time. CM. Perez, asked if there was a way of adding a turning lane for the people that were turning right on existing overpass overthe train. Mr. Gonzalez, responded that there was an existing bridge structure and wasn't sure if adding capacity was an option. Mr. Roberto Rodriguez, TxDOT shared that in the past there had been plans to build a direct connector but the issue was the ROW restrictions within Carriers Dr. He further shared the COL Traffic Dept. had worked in the past on options for a solution.

CM. Perez, mentioned she was looking at the map and asked if Copper Dr. was an improvedofficial road. Mr. Edward D. Garza, approached the podium and responded this was a dirt road commonly known as Doctors Rd. and was not an official city or county road but was used to access the property furtherto the east and by the City as an access to the wastewater treatment plant. CM. Perez, asked if it would be possible to explore the possibility of incentivizing the connection of Mercury Dr. with Copper Dr. (identified in the map as a purple line) to accommodate the thoroughfare plan. Mr. Gonzalez, stated there was also an opportunity to connect Copper Dr. to Hachar- Reuthingerto provide additional connectivityinstead as the otherproposal lwouldrequire another other overpass. CM. Cigarroa, asked if the railroad Union Pacific or Kansas City Southern could be contacted to seeifCopper Dr. could be repaved and get the access open. Mr. Gonzalez, responded this was a private road. Mr. Ramon Chavez, COL Engineering responded Doctors Rd. was a private road and the request in the past for using that road had been denied by Union Pacific for safety reasons.

Mendive, MPO Director PREVIOUS ACTION: On January 18, 2023, the Laredo Webb County Area MPO approved Resolution No. MPO 2023-03 adopting the TxDOT's FY2023 targets for the Safety Performance Measures (PM1). BACKGROUND: Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), surface transportation legislation required that metropolitan and statewide transportation planning processes incorporate performance goals, measures, and targets into the process of identifying needed transportation improvements and project selection. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IJA) of 2021 and Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 continued the requirements established by MAP-21, and stipulated that States and MPOs must: Use a set of federally established performance measures; and, Set targets and monitor progress for each of the performance measures. In May of 2019, the Texas Transportation Commission adopted Minute Order 115481 directing the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) to work toward the goal of reducing the number of deaths in Texas roadways by half by the year 2035. TxDOT has modified its performance measures and targets calculations as follows: Texas Department of Transportation FY2024 Safety (PM1) Performance Measures and Targets Performance Measures 2020* 2021* 2022* 2023** 2024** 2024*** Number of Traffic Fatalities 3,874 4,486 3,272 3,159 3,046 3,567 Rate of Fatalities per 100 million Vehicle Miles Traveled 1.49 1.70 1.25 1.20 1.14 1.36 Number of Serious Injuries 14,659 19,434 17,539 17,819 18,242 17,062 Rate of Serious Injuries per 100 million Vehicle Miles 5.63 7.35 6.70 6.77 6.77 6.39 Traveled Number of Non-Motorized Fatalities and Serious 2,206 2,628 2,321 2,340 2,360 2,357 injuries - Actual Data, ** Target Data, *** Target as a 5-Year Average Source: Texas FY2024 Strategic Highway Safety Plan (SHSP) As noted in the table above, the calendar year target for 2024 are listed by Safety Performance Measures.
