Planning and Environmental LinkagesQuestionnaire and Checklist

The Planning and Environmental Linkage (PEL) process, a specific product of implementing SAFETEA-LU,1

seeks to develop subarea and corridor studies that can be used more directly to inform the NEPA2 process. Effective, conceptual-level transportation planning studies that follow the PEL process provide opportunities both to identify important issues of concern early and to build the agency, stakeholder, and public understanding necessary to successfully address them. Such early, integrated planning is not driven solely by regulatory requirements and the quest for more efficient and effective processes, although those are desirable results. Transportation and environmental professionals—as well as those in metropolitan planning organizations, state and federal resource agencies, and nongovernmental organizations—are finding that early collaboration helps achieve broader transportation and environmental stewardship goals through better decisions regarding programs, planning, and projects.

This document has been developed by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) to provide guidance, particularly to transportation planners and environmental planners, regarding how to most effectively link the transportation planning and NEPA processes. By considering the questions and issues raised in this questionnaire, transportation planners will become more aware of potential gaps in their subarea or corridor studies, better understand the needs of future users of the studies, and be reminded of the benefits of wider and/or deeper collaboration with agencies, the public, and other stakeholders. Environmental planners who fill out the checklist will assume a new role in the transportation planning process: becoming an advocate for early awareness of environmental issues before the NEPA process begins.

This questionnaire and checklist will be used to effectively influence the scope, content, and process employed for ADOT transportation planning studies that focus on specific transportation corridors or on transportation network subareas (versus statewide transportation studies). Completion of this questionnaire and checklist will support the PEL process and serve dual objectives:3

provide guidance to transportation planners on the level of detail needed to ensure that information collected and decisions made during the transportation planning study can be used during the NEPAprocess for a proposed transportation projectprovide the future NEPA study team with documentation on the outcomes of the transportation planning process, including the history of decisions made and the level of detailed analysis undertaken

When conducting a transportation planning study that links to the future NEPA process, major issues include:4

identifying the appropriate level of environmental analysis for the studyidentifying the appropriate level of agency, stakeholder, and public involvementdefining unique study concurrence points for seeking agreement from relevant resource agencies, stakeholders, and members of the public

These issues should be considered throughout the transportation planning study process. Users of this ADOT Planning and Environmental Linkages Questionnaire and Checklist should review the entire document at the beginning of the study to familiarize themselves with whatever local and general issues may be operative. The questionnaire is provided in two parts: one to be completed by transportation planners at the beginning of the study and one to be completed at the end. The checklist (Part 3) should be used by environmental planners throughout the study and should be finalized at the end of the study.

Upon completion of the transportation planning study, this document should be included as an appendix to the study’s final report to document how the study meets the requirements of 23 Code of Federal Regulations § 450.212 or § 450.318 (Subpart B: Statewide Transportation Planning and Programming or Subpart C: Metropolitan Transportation Planning and Programming, respectively).

Questionnaire for Transportation Planners – Part 1

This part of the questionnaire should be completed by transportation planners at the beginning of the transportation planning study. Please note that planners should also review the second part of the questionnaire to understand what additional issues will need to be considered and documented as the study progresses.

Project identification

What is the name of the study? What cities and region does it cover? What major streets are covered? For corridor studies, what are theintended termini?The study is called the I-10, Phoenix to California Border, Multimodal Corridor Profile Study. The study focuses on the “I-10 Corridor” between the California border near Ehrenberg, Arizona, and Central Avenue in downtown Phoenix. The study area is defined as a two-mile wide corridor centered about I-10 and includes portions of La Paz and Maricopa County, Arizona, and the cities and towns of Ehrenberg, Quartzsite, Tonopah, Buckeye, Goodyear, Avondale, Tolleson, and Phoenix. The major highways that intersect the I-10 Corridor include US 95, SR 95, US 60, SR 85, SR 303L, SR 101L, and I-17.

Who is the study sponsor?The Arizona Department of Transportation, Multimodal Planning Division

Briefly describe the study and its purpose.The primary purpose and need for this study is to consolidate the myriad planning documents for the I-10 Corridor and develop a clear vision of the transportation roles of the I-10 Corridor.Within La Paz County (WACOG region), the study will also:

Formulate a multimodal transportation plan that incorporates highway and transit travel modes and complements the area’s current and future development patterns.

Analyze the physical layout and number of general purpose and special-use travel lanes needed to serve the future I-10 Corridor travel demand.

Plan for and address freight needs within and through the I-10 Corridor.Consider community character and potential impacts throughout the planning process. Determine changes in access patterns within the I-10 Corridor that could encourage better multimodal cohesion and connectivity and

improve safety.Within Maricopa County, MAG member agencies have adopted the Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) and Interstate 10 – Hassayampa Valley Roadway Framework Study which serve similar purposes for the I-10 Corridor within the MAG region. Therefore, this study will focus on compiling the recommendations from these studies and others into a single resource focused on the I-10 Corridor. New alternatives and improvements will not be recommended within the MAG region. The report document will be developed in a framework approach that can be applied to other corridor studies.

Who are the primary study team members (include name, title, organization name, and contact information)?See roster at end of Part 1.

Does the team include advisory groups such as a technical advisory committee, steering committee, or other? If so, include roster(s) as attachment(s).Yes, see roster at end of Part 1.

Have previous transportation planning studies been conducted for this region? If so, provide a brief chronology, including the years the studies were completed. Provide contact names and locations of the studies and study websites.Yes. An extensive list is attached at the end of Part 1. The major drivers include:What Moves you Arizona (ADOT 2011 LRTP); Statewide Transportation Planning Framework (bqAZ) (ADOT 2010); La Paz Transportation Plan (ADOT 2010); Interstate 10 – Hassayampa Roadway Framework Study (MAG 2007); I-10 Profile Study (ADOT 2005), Regional Transportation Plan (MAG 2004),

Have system improvements and additions that address your transportation need been identified in a fiscally constrained regional transportation plan?No. The RTP identified system improvements to address needs through 2026; this study incorporates other recommendations beyond the 2026 timeframe from studies such as ADOT Long-Range Transportation Plan and the I-10/Hassayampa Roadway Framework Study which were not fiscally constrained.

Will a purpose and need statement5 be prepared as part of this effort? If so, what steps will need to be taken during the NEPA process to make this a project-level purpose and need statement?Yes, however the statement will be relatively broad; Project specific statements will need to consider the latest travel demand and socioeconomic data and evaluate purpose and need for the specific demand being served.

Establishment of organizational relationships

Is a partnering agreement in place? If so, who are signatories (for example, affected agencies, stakeholders, organizations)? Attach the partnering agreement(s).Yes, the major stakeholders (PMT) are represented. No formal agreement is in place.

What are the key coordination points in the decision-making process?The review and comment on key deliverables (Working Paper #1, #2, and the Final Report) as well as public outreach.

Planning assumptions and analytical methods

Is the time horizon of the study sufficiently long to consider long-term (20 years or more from completion of the study) affects of potential scenarios?Yes, the study will evaluate existing, short-range (2015-2020), and long-range (2030-2035) conditions.

What method will be used for forecasting traffic volumes (for example, traffic modeling or growth projections)? What are the sources of data being used? Has USDOT validated their use?Traffic forecasts from the ADOT Statewide Travel Demand Model will be used outside the MAG region. The ADOT model is in development and will be reviewed by USDOT in the future. The MAG Travel Demand Model will be used within its extents which includes most of Maricopa County. The MAG model has been validated by USDOT.

Will the study use FHWA’s Guide on the Consistent Application of Traffic Analysis Tools and Methods6? If not, why not? How will traffic volumes from the travel demand model be incorporated, if necessary, into finer-scale applications such as a corridor study?Yes. The team will use agency model forecasts. The methods and tools will be reviewed with the PMT.

Do the travel demand models base their projections on differentiations between vehicles?Yes. The model predicts personal vehicles and commercial vehicles (light or heavy trucks).

Data, information, and tools

Is there a centralized database or website that all State resource agencies may use to share resource data during the study?No, not at this time.

Questionnaire for Transportation Planners – Part 2

This part of the questionnaire should be completed by transportation planners at the end of the transportation planning study. This completed document should become an appendix to the study’s final report to document how the study meets the requirements of 23 Code of Federal Regulations § 450.212 or § 450.318.

Purpose and need for this study

How did the study process define and clarify corridor-level or subarea-level goals (if applicable) that influenced modal infrastructure improvements and/or the range of reasonable alternatives?The Study evaluated improvements based on goals developed with input from the Technical Advisory Committee. While the project purpose differed in Maricopa County versus La Paz County, the overall goals and objectives for the entire I-10 Corridor study area are the same:

Compile planned and potential projects to assist ADOT and regional and local agencies in the preservation of transportation right-of-way.Document planned and potential improvements to assist local governments in identifying compatible land use and zoning for adjacent development.Identify environmental issues and concernsCompile planned and potential projects for consideration in the priority programming process.Evaluate the appropriateness of current and emerging intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies.Forecast future travel demand within the I-10 Corridor. Travel forecasts from ADOT’s statewide model will be used within La Paz County and MAG’s travel forecasts will be used within Maricopa County.Document alternative transportation opportunities that are being considered and studied.

What were the key steps and coordination points in the decision-making process? Who were the decision-makers and who else participated in those key steps?Coordination points for the project included:

Scoping process with stakeholdersFour TAC meetings (Work Plan, Current and Future Conditions, Plan for Improvements and Draft Final Report)Identifying project stakeholders, and determining list of stakeholders for focus interviewsAgreement on traffic forecast methodology using Maricopa Association of Governments and ADOT forecastsPublic meeting in Quartzsite November 8, 2012Coordinated wildlife connectivity opportunities with AZ Game and Fish

The TAC (as identified on previous page) were the decision makers for the project. Resource and regulatory agencies were contacted during the study for input. How should this study information be presented in future NEPA document(s), if applicable? Are relevant findings documented in a format and at a level of detail that will facilitate reference to and/or inclusion in subsequent NEPA document(s)?7

The Interstate 10 – Phoenix to California Border, Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is documented in a format that will serve as a reference or supporting document; the document identifies environmental issues in the corridor.

Were the study’s findings and recommendations documented in such a way as to facilitate an FHWA or Federal Transit Administration decision regarding acceptability for application in the NEPA process? Does the study have logical points where decisions were made and where concurrencefrom resource or regulatory agencies, stakeholders, and the public was sought? If so, provide a list of those points.FHWA (Ed Stillings, Ken Davis, Meesa Otani) participated in the TAC meetings and discussions of how the study should be implemented and how PEL should be incorporated. Decisions were made by the TAC which is composed of a variety of stakeholders.Study findings and recommendations were acceptable to agencies and are well documented in the Study.The public and stakeholder outreach is documented in the Public Involvement Summary Report (incorporated by reference); a public meeting was held in Quartzsite, Arizona, La Paz County, on November 8, 2012.The study involved coordination and interviews with agencies identifying issues and understanding needs and concerns in the corridor (rather than concurrence).

Planning assumptions and analytical methods

Did the study provide regional development and growth assumptions and analyses? If so, what were the sources of the demographic and employment trends and forecasts?Yes, the study used growth projections identified as part of the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Statewide Travel Demand Model (TDM) and (for the Maricopa region) the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) socioeconomic projections (2009).

12 Users may add rows to this table to accommodate additional stakeholders.

Interstate 10 – Phoenix to California Border, Multimodal Corridor Profile Study

What were the future-year policy and/or data assumptions used in the transportation planning process related to land use, economic development, transportation costs, and network expansion? Traffic forecasts for the Study were derived from ADOT’s Statewide TDM and (for the Maricopa region) the MAG TDM. As such, the planning assumptions inherent in those two models were carried forward. Were the planning assumptions and the corridor vision/purpose and need statement consistent with each other and with the long-range transportation plan? Are the assumptions still valid?This study compiles planning assumptions of exhaustive existing studies in the region including the MAG RTP and La Paz PARA and the multimodal approach in the Statewide Long Range Transportation Plan.

Data, information, and tools

Are the relevant data used in the study available in a compatible format that is readily usable? Are they available through a centralized web portal?Yes.No web portal.Are the completeness and quality of the data consistent with the quality (not scale or detail) of inputs needed for a NEPA project-level analysis13?Yes, but given the long-range nature of the Study, updates will be necessary during project(s) development.Are the data used in the study regularly updated and augmented? If regularly updated, provide schedule and accessibility information.MAG updates traffic and socioeconomic data regularly (updates to the socioeconomic projections are expected in the later part of 2013); the Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) updates La Paz County traffic and socioeconomic data periodically.Have the environmental data been mapped at scales that facilitate comparison of effects across different resources and at sufficient resolution to guide initial NEPA issue definition? If not, what data collection and/or manipulation would likely be needed for application to the NEPA scoping process?Yes. Additional data collection will be necessary for environmental considerations such as water quality, biology, cultural resources and wildlife corridor evaluation.

Did the study incorporate models of, for example, species/habitat locations (predictive range maps), future land use, population dynamics, stormwater runoff, or travel demand? What models were used? Did the study adequately document what models were used, who was responsible for their use, and how they were used (with respect to, for example, calibration, replicability, contingencies, and exogenous factors)?The Study utilized existing environmental, travel demand, and socio-economic data obtained from a variety of sources. The sources of this data were verified by the TAC as representing the best available information.In scoping, conducting, and documenting the planning study, participants have come across documents and leads from agency staff and other sources that the environmental planners may be able to use in conducting their studies. List any applicable memoranda of understanding, cost-share arrangements, programmatic agreements, or technical studies that are underway but whose findings are not yet published, etc.Wildlife connectivity information (for La Paz County). In all instances, the data on wildlife connectivity should be checked to ensure it is the latest available information.

Development of alternatives

Were resource agencies, stakeholders, and members of the public engaged in the process of identifying, evaluating, and screening out modes, corridors, a range of alternatives,14 or a preferred alternative (if one was identified—the latter two refer to corridor plans)? If so, how? Did these groups review the recommendation of a preferred mode(s), corridor(s), range of alternatives (including the no-build alternative), or an alternative? Were the participation and inputs of these groups at a level acceptable for use in purpose and need statements or alternatives development sections in NEPA documents? If not, why not?n/a

Describe the process of outreach to resource agencies, the public, and other stakeholders. Describe the documentation of this process and of the responses to their comments. Is this documentation adequate in breadth and detail for use in NEPA documents?Technical Advisory Committee, interviews with stakeholders, e-newsletter, and public meeting (refer to Public Involvement Summary Report for additional information.)

If the study was a corridor study, describe the range of alternatives considered (if any), screening process, and screening criteria. Include what types of alternatives were considered (including the no-build alternative) and how the screening criteria were selected. Was a preferred alternative selected as best addressing the identified transportation issue? Are alternatives’ locations and design features specified?This Study focused on corridor improvements and did not include a range of alternatives.Also regarding whether the study was a corridor study, for alternatives that were screened out, summarize the reasons for their rejection. Are defensible, credible rationale articulated for their being screened out? Did the study team take into account legal standards15 needed in the NEPA process for such decisions? Did the study team have adequate information for screening out the alternatives?n/aWhat issues, if any, remain unresolved with the public, stakeholders, and/or resource agencies?Wildlife connectivity, interchange design, cultural resources, biology and 404 permits.

Formally joining PEL with the NEPA process

Lead federal agencies proposing a project that will undergo the NEPA process will want to most effectively leverage the transportation planning study’s efforts and results. How could a Notice of Intent (for an environmental impact statement16) refer to the study’s findings with respect to preliminary purpose and need and/or the range of alternatives to be studied?No alternatives were identified. The study’s findings largely consolidated information and recommendations from other sources, and therefore would not necessarily be referenced in a NOI. Most of the projects identified will not require an EIS.Could a Notice of Intent in the NEPA process clearly state that the lead federal agency or agencies will use analyses from prior, specific planning studies that are referenced in the transportation planning study final report? Does the report provide the name and source of the planning studies and explain where the studies are publicly available? If not, how could such relevant information come to the environmental planners’ attention and be made available to them in a timely way?Yes, documents referenced in the Study are summarized in the Study Appendices and the internet address (URL) for each (when available) is included.List how the study’s proposed transportation system would support adopted land use plans and growth objectives.The recommendations that are included in the Study are a response to the needs identified in adopted land use and planning documents for the study corridor. What modifications are needed in the goals and objectives as defined in the transportation study process to increase their efficient and timely application in the NEPA process?No modification to the goals and objectives will be required.Jurisdictional delineations of waters of the United States frequently change. Housing and commercial developments can alter landscapes dramatically and can be constructed quickly. Noise and air quality regulations can change relatively rapidly. Resource agencies frequently alter habitat delineations to protect sensitive species. Will the study data’s currency, relevance, and quality still be acceptable to agencies, stakeholders, and members of the public for use in the NEPA process? If not, what will be done to rectify this problem? Who will be responsible for any needed updating?When a project is ready for design, information from the study will need to be reevaluated and updated. The environmental data from this Study was not used for screening purposes and will not be relevant to the future NEPA process.

Checklist for Environmental Planners – Part 3

By completing this checklist, environmental planners will be able to systematically evaluate the transportation planning study with regard to environmental resources and issues. It provides a framework for future NEPA studies by identifying those resources and issues that have already been evaluated, and those that have not. The role of environmental planners during the study’s various stages is laid out in the flowchart on page 3. This role includes timely advocacy for resources and issues that will later be integral to NEPA processes.

Identification of potential environmental mitigation activities

Could the transportation planning process be integrated with other planning activities, such as land use or resource management plans? If so, could this integrated planning effort be used to develop a more strategic approach to environmental mitigation measures?Yes, the compilation of information from numerous sources into one planning document will aid in integrating land use planning within the corridor. Understanding the improvements planned throughout the corridor may aid in developing strategic implementation plans for environmental mitigation measures (for example, wildlife crossings). With respect to potential environmental mitigation opportunities at the PEL level, who should ADOT consult with among federal, State, and local agencies and tribes and how formally and frequently should such consultation be undertaken?Due to the range of projects identified through the Study, it is suggested that consultation occur with specific entities as identified on a project by project basis. Off-site and compensatory mitigation areas are often creatively negotiated to advance multiagency objectives or multiple objectives within one agency. Who determined what specific geographic areas or types of areas were appropriate for environmental mitigation activities? How were these determinations made?n/a.

To address potential impacts on the human environment, what mitigation measures or activities were considered and how were they developed and documented?While mitigation measures are generally discussed in the Study, no specific mitigation actions were advanced as a result of this Study.

Agency - Key issuesArizona Department of Public Safety (DPS)• Consider locations where accidents and/or roadway incidents can

be taken off the freeway (including the shoulder)• Add signage related to vehicle removal law – “Minor crashes move off

the roadway”; note: “roadway” includes the shoulder as well• Rural areas should provide turn-around opportunities along the

median for officers and/or emergency crews• A possible solution might include improving the parallel roads along

I-10 to handle larger volumes and detours during construction, accidents, events, etc.

• Traffic signal coordination is important• HOV variable speeds are difficult for law enforcement to calibrate the

speeds at which vehicles are driving• Consider law enforcement traffic incident management in planning

for the I-10 corridorArizona Game and Fish Department (AGFD)• Major concern has to do with fragmentation of wildlife habitat. • Other indirect issues include invasive species and pollution of

waterways. • Mitigation, especially when considered in advance can address

many of the concerns.• Future freeways, parkways and Interchanges will need to be designed

to allow for habitat connectivity through the region.• NEPA corridor studies should disclose effects, and/or conduct

a thorough evaluation of broader impacts, including induced development. .

ADOT Phoenix Engineering District• Truck traffic should be limited to the right lane, except when passing• Buckeye, Loop 303 area, SR 85 area, Goodyear, and Litchfield are

areas with high potential growth• Real-time communication is important• Amazon moved their distribution warehouse to Goodyear• Include ADOT Valley Project Management in project discussionsADOT Yuma Engineering District• Traffic congestion at the Quartzsite interchanges during the winter is a

problem• Development to fill out from Maricopa County line to Buckeye area

(mile post 112), several planned near mile post 100• LaPaz County, Quartzsite, and Buckeye should be engaged in project

discussionsArizona Public Service (APS)• ADOT abandonment rule should allow more flexibility to utility

relocation and should allow utilities to be within ADOT right-of-way• Frost Zero, a California-based frozen foods business near the Loop 303

and Camelback Road area will bring more traffic to the study area• New residential and commercial center at Verrado Way• Century Link, Southwest Gas, Cox Communications, First One

Communications, and Westcor should all be engaged in the project discussions.

• Study the I-17 corridor from Northern Avenue to Durango curve to access impact to the rest of the transportation network

Agency - Key issuesArizona State Land Department (ASLD)• Butler and Harquahala Valley are water-rich areas that will see

development in the future• Significant amount of clean-energy development in the region

surrounding the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating StationBureau of Land Management (BLM)• Congestion during high-peak hours need to be alleviated• Additional modes of transportation should be key factors; it is

important to change the choice of a 1-person commuter• Solar development in certain pockets of I-10 are being built on public,

private, federal and state lands, and will likely affect the shape of growth in the future

Bureau of Reclamation (BOR)• Look out beyond typical 20-year planning horizon (for example, BOR

operates on a 50-year planning horizon)• Others you should speak with include CAP, ASLD, BLM, CAP, and other

irrigation districtsCalifornia Department of Transportation• Additional growth is planned in Palm Springs which will likely produce

additional traffic in the area and along nearby on- and off-ramps• Desert tortoises should be an important consideration for

development; they have proven to be an issue for some projects• Alternative routes to California ensure seamless connections• Suggest installing cameras on poles along I-10 to California border• Real-time communication is importantCentral Arizona Project (CAP)• Improved facilities in the west valley would help business• CAP is looking into establishing a permit from BLM to transfer bridge

and crossing rights to the BOR• Ongoing discussions to establish the CAP corridor as a recreational

trail• Clearances for the CAP canal should be an important consideration

for developing transportation facilities• Power lines from Palo Verde will be crossing freeway, from Palo Verde

to the Sun Valley substation, and then to the Morgan substation• The Liberty Parker Line power line at Buckeye should be considered as

part of the study effortColorado River Indian Tribes (CRIT)• Significant traffic is traveling north from I-10 towards destinations along

the Colorado River• Coordination with neighbors in California is the practice for agencies

in the region and should be continued• The region needs improved transit service• Industry is beginning to locate in the area – will require careful

coordination of infrastructure to support• Floodplain between Exit 1 and Exit 5 (Tyson Wash and others), with

drainage coming off the Dome Rock Mountains (to the north) is a concern in the region of I-10

• The Colorado River Indian Tribes are considering developing their lands north of and in the vicinity of I-10

• The region has a rich history which should be considered

The first phase of the stakeholder and public outreach process included:

● establishing a project web site: www.azdot.gov/i10corridorstudy ● conducting in-person and telephone interviews of key stakeholders

● distributing an e-newsletters to members of the public and other stakeholders with interests in the I-10 Corridor

The followings sections provide additional details related to the outcomes of this outreach.

Stakeholder InterviewsThe stakeholder interview questions included:

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10?

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)?

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region?

4. Are there any “fatal flaws” such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor?

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies?

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us?

Agency - Key issuesLa Paz County• Build a roundabout at Exit #1 on south side, similar to roundabout on

north side• Address oversized load movement currently unable to travel on some

areas of I-10 due to weight and clearance problems• Plans to build a landfill in La Paz county will bring solid waste from

California and add traffic to the region and corridor• Others to speak with include the La Paz County ManagerMaricopa Association of Governments (MAG)• Local and regional issues in the MAG region have been addressed

through other plans and studies• Must consider the developing warehousing facilities along I-10 and

the need to access the transportation network (primarily west valley)• Expansion of the Freeway Management System and coordination

between transportation agencies is critical for efficient operation of the freeway system

Maricopa County Department of Transportation (MCDOT)• A comprehensive drainage plan is needed for the area west of the

White Tanks• The Avondale Boulevard bridge over the Gila River needs to be

widened to accommodate PIR traffic (add one lane)• Consider the improvements planned for Buckeye airport• Others to speak with include: Arizona Motor Transport Association,

Maricopa County Development Services, Tonopah Community Association, Desert Creek homeowners association (vicinity of Hassayampa Freeway), WESTMARC, and Rock Products Association

METRO• We lose sight of the fact that Phoenix is just a stop along an important

east-west route (I-10)• Need to determine how to get freight through• Within the region, must consider the multimodal needs of the corridor• Additional lanes are not an answer to congestionPalo Valley Verde Transit Authority• Additional emergency call box systems are needed to provide safety

precautions along the west corridor• Electric charging stations should be planned for in the future; Eastern

Riverside has a plan underway to push electric vehicles in western California

• A new Visitor Center just west of the Arizona/California border will provide a rest area and break point for travelers between Arizona and California

• Include Board of Supervisors (4th, 80th, and 45th district), Hayday Farms, Mark Fisher (Farm representative), Conway Trucking, State prisons, and Palo Verde Hospital in project discussions

Agency - Key issuesPhoenix International Raceway (PIR)• There is significant congestion when there are simultaneous events at

Westgate and PIR• PIR will become more of the “center of town” and will certainly create

traffic problems as additional development occurs• PIR intends to grow and expand existing facilities.Salt River Project (SRP)• Congestion at major interchanges cause serious problems• Improvements to the corridor would encourage additional industrial

business west of Phoenix• Growth potential near the Hassayampa water aquifer site• Real-time communication is important

NewsletterSeparate study newsletters were developed for stakeholders in La Paz County and Maricopa County to reflect the different goals and objectives for the study in each county. The newsletters are very similar to the text and graphics presented for the project web site. The newsletters were distributed electronically using ADOT CCP e-mail lists from previous planning studies in the I-10 Corridor. A copy of the newsletter is presented after the interviewee notes.

MemoTo: I 10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study

CC: File

Compiled by: Janet Gonzalez, HDR Stakeholder Interview NotesInterviewee:Alvin Stump, Arizona Department of

Transportation

Date: July 2, 2012 Conducted: June 29, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each)The I 10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluatethe existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation systemrequirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal andcommercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service.

The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The projectis anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of thatoutreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are

needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I 10?Safety considerations should be addressed. As an example, there are currently issues with people falling asleepwhile driving in the study area between Buckeye and Quartzite. Quartzite has a lot of visitors in the winter whichcauses issues with the interchange and high traffic volumes. When widening roads, daytime lane closures aredifficult and should be planned into the schedule in the evenings when the roads are the least utilized.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I 10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economicdevelopment)?Improved transportation facilities would improve the flow of traffic. As development arises from improvedtransportation facilities, more traffic would fill the freeway. More development would then also increase andpropel the need for improvements.

3. What growth/developments and socio economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in yourparticular locality or region?Commercial and residential development would certainly fill out the Buckeye area from about the MaricopaCounty line – mile post 112 out west for 15 20 miles. Definitely see additional traffic in the west portion of thestudy area. Quartzite is an area that will likely grow significantly.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, orcommunity concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I 10Corridor?Not at this time.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so,what kind of technologies?Yes. Variable message signs are important. Fast response post accident traffic control would be better served byconveying information to drivers to provide enough distance to adjust their commutes. Construction updates to

planned work events is also important for driver commute planning.6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential

and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or publicsector that you are able to share with us?There are several developments planned near mile post 100. Some include thoughts on private interchanges. Willforward information via e mail.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts?How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds?Should include LaPaz County, Quartzite and Buckeye area communities in the discussion. Would like to continueto be engaged via e newsletter distribution.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express?There are a lot of oversized loads and high truck volumes on the I 10. 25% to 45% of the traffic on the I 10 comesfrom truck volumes. It’s important to include this in the planning process and in the maintenance program ofkeeping the corridor maintained. Truck traffic wears down the freeway faster then does car traffic.

Date: July 27, 2012 Conducted: July 24, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? I-10 constructed to meet traffic congestion from 20 years ago. The corridor is very much in need of expansion during high-peak hours. Relieving congestion should be the first priority. The study should certainly consider additional modes of transportation to be just as important as automobile movement. It’s important to change the choice of a 1-person commuter.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Positively impacted. Growth would be expanded because of the additional areas for people to stop and shop, eat, and/or dine.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? Growth will likely continue along the outer reaches of the I-10 – south of Phoenix to Tucson. Sees more growth from Phoenix to Tucson, then Phoenix to California.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? There is solar development in certain pockets of the I-10 that are being built on public, private, federal and state lands. This will impact the shape and way the city grows in the future.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Yes. Real-time messaging is important. Satellite and real-time video feeds are great to show traffic in key areas of the valley.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public

sector that you are able to share with us? Same as answer to #4. Solar development will likely shape the growth of the valley in areas with growth opportunities.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? None at this time. Contact by e-mail distribution.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? None at this time.

Date: July 6, 2012 Conducted: June 20, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service.

Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? We lose sight of the fact that Phoenix is just a stop along an important east-west route (I-10), a huge freight corridor for the nation. Need to determine how to get freight through. Within the region, must consider the multimodal needs of the corridor. Additional lanes are not an answer to congestion; think of alternatives to improve mobility (examples include HOT lanes, tolls, whatever options are available to address needs). Tolls are a challenge, given the neeed for local service.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Multimodal enhancements would facilitate more focused growth. View I-10 as critical to the regions economic development, downtown Phoenix, warehousing to the west will continue to expand westward.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? West Valley development is occurring more slowly than anticipated. There is a lot of potential within the SR 101. South Mountain (transportation corridor) will hasten development south of I-10. The central Phoenix area is changing demographically as affluent households are moving in to the central corridor.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? Not observed. Economics is driving everything. Luke Air Force Base may be a (growth) factor in the West Valley, an area which lacks major employment. Capacity of I-10 is a limiting factor.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so,

HDR Engineering, Inc. 3200 E. Camelback RoadSuite 350Phoenix, AZ 85018-2311

Phone (602) 522-7700Fax (602) 522-7707www.hdrinc.com

Page 2 of 2

what kind of technologies? Various lane configurations, HOT, HOV+3, toll, transit only lane, express lanes – all options should be on the table.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us? See specific development plans; 101 Corridor, Maryvale Core Plan (contact Jacob Zonn, City of Phoenix Planning Department).

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Maricopa Association of Governments. Email updates are sufficient.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? Consider development of high-capacity transit, in particular in the West Valley.

Stakeholder Interview Notes Interviewee: Bob Garza, Arizona Public Service

Date: June 19, 2012 Conducted: June 18, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Consideration should be made for future growth of utilities. ADOT abandonment rule – flexibility should be given to allow utilities more leeway. Allow utilities to be within the ADOT ROW. There should be a partnership between the groups and contractors should be a part of the discussion to avoid unnecessary claims during construction sequencing before growth and widening efforts are started.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Commercial growth will be back. As the economy picks up, commercial business will pick-up in the downtown and surrounding areas. Cooperation is needed between ADOT and APS. On the west end of the study area, businesses from California are coming in to set up their shops. Frost Zero, a frozen foods business is a California-based business near the Loop 303 / Camelback area.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? Massive growth with malls, strip malls, commercial businesses and residential. Estrella Falls Mall is a large development near the corridor. Verrado has a new residential and commercial area currently under development. The ability to get in and get out of the study area fast will be the key to successful growth. The Loop 303 and I-10 will likely be a huge hot spot, as it is at the center of various connections.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? 401 permits are important and key to growth. The area west of Verrado (with the exception of the power plant area) may be easier to implement then the other denser areas east of that. SRP serves 35th Avenue to 101. Establishing a corridor within the median for future rail or transit opportunities would be smart to plan for.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so,

HDR Engineering, Inc. 3200 E. Camelback RoadSuite 350Phoenix, AZ 85018-2311

Phone (602) 522-7700Fax (602) 522-7707www.hdrinc.com

Page 2 of 2

what kind of technologies? Yes. Should join trench with fiber optics networks as construction is being completed. It’s important for the utility companies to know when upcoming projects are going to affect the system and vice versa.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us? The Verrado area has started projects on their development site. There has been a lot of discussion about commercial activity. Any existing / future developments will be positively affected by I-10 improvements. More commercial activity will also lead to residential growth.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Century Link, Southwest Gas, Cox Communications, First One Communications (west-valley focused), Westcor. Sue Maybee (APS) from the Asset Team should be added to the discussion. Miguel Bravo (APS) from the Economics Development should also be added to the discussion – [email protected]. E-newsletter.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? ADOT should look at studying the I-17 corridor. It is the one piece of freeway that is being ignored – from Northern to the Durango Curve. The speed changes, then bottlenecks, then the curve opens back up near the airport. Should be developed and upgraded to the level of standard of the I-10.

Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Gas costs a lot less in Arizona then in California. A lot of California residents cross over to Arizona (Flying J) to get gas. This is a problem for the border cities when it comes to tax revenue. Additional call box systems are needed to provide safety precautions.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Not applicable.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? Significant commercial growth near and mid-term. Goals are to draw more people off the I-10, with numbers currently at 10.2 million people.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? Not applicable.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Yes. This is very important. Especially for all the visitors and truck drivers that travel between Arizona and California. Emergency notification systems are important. Eastern Riverside will be pushing electric vehicles forward. Pads along the I-10 with charging stations for those vehicles that require charging would be beneficial to encourage “greener” infrastructure improvements.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us?

Brewing is designing a new off and on ramp 300-feet west from the California/Arizona border. A new Visitor Center at this location will include a park, information kiosks, dog run area, restrooms, farmers market, and demonstration farm. This Visitor Center will be advertised via billboards, etc., and will encourage people to stop and enjoy the area before heading to their destination.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Riverside County Board of Supervisor (BOS) – 4th District (John Benoit), BOS 80th District (Manual Perez), BOS 45th District (Mary Bonomect – Governor), Farming Industry – Hayday Farms (Dale Tyson – [email protected]), Mark Fisher (other farmer – don’t have contact information), Conway Trucking, State Prisons – two within City limits, Palo Verde Hospital (Peter Klune – [email protected]). E-newsletter.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? California is usually adversely impacted by improvements in Arizona. It’s hard to compete for labor and fuel because it is cheaper in Arizona. Farmers in California are precluded from buying fuel in Arizona.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Refer to some of the studies Maricopa County Department of Transportation is conducting. MCDOT has made changes to some of the alignments shown in the framework studies (Denise Lacey, MCDOT). Need to consider the implications of the propose I-11 corridor. Large master planned communities in the west valley (e.g., Belmont, Douglas Ranch)

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Butler and Harquahala Valley are water-rich areas that will see development in the future. There is a significant amount of speculation zoning in the far West Valley. Improved interchanges will encourage development.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? The Arizona State Land Department does conceptual planning for those areas it anticipates growth in the next 20 years (conceptual planning manadated by the 1998 Growing Smarter / 2000 Growing Smarter Plus legislation). Much of the Department’s (planning) resources have been focused on the Superstition Vistas area; it is anticipated that that area will develop before the far West Valley does. Significant amount of clean-energy development in the region surrounding the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? Habitat corridors must be considered; cultural sites.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies?

Compiled by: Michael LaBianca, HDR Stakeholder Interview Notes Interviewee: Greg Fisher, Colorado River Indian Tribes

Date: August 3, 2012 Conducted: July 11, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Concern with existing traffic from Quartzsite heading north towards Parker, AZ. There is a significant amount of traffic along this route. Many of the tourists don’t go through Quartzsite, travel from California exiting in Ehrenberg and heading north. This is especially the case in summer and during spring break. Any planning for this area should include neighbors from Blythe, Needles (California communities). Quartzsite exit ramps are great, Exit 1 needs work. Exit 5 needs work as well, and could be wider (overpass on I-10).

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Transit study needs to be done for the area. Lake Havasu City has transit services, and Parker provides transit services for the elderly. It would be beneficial to provide a means by which the workforce on the reservation would be able to travel to Quartzsite and Vicksburg for employment. A park and ride type facility would be beneficial.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? There is a lot of industry beginning to develop in the region. Discussions are ongoing regarding a refinery, with interest from overseas buyers. Trucks are currently hauling goods out of Parker.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? There is a major floodplain between Exit 1 and Exit 5 (Tyson Wash and others), with drainage coming off the Dome Rock Mountains (to the north). Tribe is looking to develop this land, however, need to first address issues with flooding. There are culverts that are at end of useful life and need to be addressed.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so,

HDR Engineering, Inc. 3200 E. Camelback RoadSuite 350Phoenix, AZ 85018-2311

Phone (602) 522-7700Fax (602) 522-7707www.hdrinc.com

Page 2 of 2

what kind of technologies? Yes, integration of technologies is very important. Proximity to the border has resulted in problems associated with illegal immigrants. The prison in Blythe and other factors are resulting in a changing population. Emergency services are responsive, and communication is critical as there are limited alternative routes through the region.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us? There has been discussion of a “fuel station” in Ehrenberg, the California side has a conversion station for trucks. Ehrenberg is looking at attracting a hotel for travelers on I-10 and tourists visiting the region. The Colorado River Indian tribes are considering development options for the land north of Exit 5 (commercial development).

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? LaPaz County, area chamber(s) of commerce.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? There is a lot of history in the region that should be considered; General Patton, intaglios, river attraction(s); “Parker Strip is one of the best places on the river”.

Date: August 2, 2012 Conducted: August 2, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Study must look into locations where we can take accidents and/or roadway incidents off the freeway (including the shoulder). Accidents without a place to go cause traffic backup, and sometimes secondary accidents. A space for accidents / wreckage would be beneficial at regular intervals and/or on off-ramps. Officers are currently required to push, pull, and/or drag cars off the roadway (which includes the shoulder) to a clear area of safety. Signage, related to the removal law is important – “Minor crashes move off the roadway.” “Roadway,” includes the shoulder as well. In rural areas, there should be places along the median to allow turn-around opportunities for officers and/or emergency crews.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Ideally, improved facilities would improve mobility and improve commerce. In areas with bad sight lines, such as the Sun Valley Parkway area with a flood berm, and in areas with sound walls, signage can help businesses thrive and attract customers from the freeway.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? Growth will likely continue along the outer reaches of the I-10 – west of Phoenix.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? Many businesses would need to be moved from the central Phoenix region to the west (99th Avenue) if considerable expansion were to be deemed necessary. This would present some economic issues. A better solution might be to improve the parallel roads along the I-10 to handle larger volumes and detours during construction, accidents, events, etc. Light rail expansion would help to absorb some travelers. The bus stop at

Verrado is good, but likely needs to be more frequent; examples like this help to alleviate traffic on the freeway. 5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so,

what kind of technologies? Yes. We need to rely on technology for short-term and more permanent improvements. DMS boards, real-time traffic counting, and meter ramps are very important. Coordination with traffic signals within the study area and beyond are important to accept on main line and coordinate with events, incidents, construction, etc. Electronic reporting on the field is a new technology in law enforcement. Some insurance companies are including bar codes on their cards to make reporting more efficient for clients and law enforcement personnel. Some newer cars now have better crash protection, including impact sensors, etc. The use of roundabouts is a nice strategy in traffic control. HOV variable speeds are sometimes difficult for law enforcement to calibrate the speeds at which vehicles are driving. They also sometimes cause accidents with vehicles trying to get on/off the lanes onto either slower or faster moving traffic.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us? Fairly connected to ADOT/MAG websites, housing and commercial news. There is a new Navajo Nation Casino planned 12 miles west of Twin Arrows which will increase traffic to and from that area, likely coming from Phoenix. On the AZTEC Committee (via MAG) to stay updated on activities.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Contact by e-mail distribution. [email protected]. City of Buckeye Development Group. All Chambers of Commerce in study area. Municipalities in study area, especially the ones west of Buckeye.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? Consider law enforcement and traffic incident management in planning for the future of the I-10 corridor.

Stakeholder Interview Notes Interviewee: Julie Kliewer, ADOT Phoenix Engineering District

Date: June 7, 2012 Conducted: June 7, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Need to look at ways to increase capacity, especially east of the 101. Need to maximize what we have. There is a large amount of truck traffic, and that should be limited to the right lane only, except when passing. There may be a need for additional lanes west of Verrado. On and off ramp traffic flows need to be kept clear.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Buckeye area seems to have a lot of potential for economic growth – i.e., warehousing, larger commercial uses. The area around the 303 shows a lot of potential as well – i.e., warehousing and economic development. There may be potential around the 85 with opportunities for additional residential growth in Goodyear and Litchfield, which will then also attract businesses. The future program needs to make it easier for those residents in outlying areas to get to work.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? South Mountain will have business growth on the reservation. There will be more growth between Phoenix and Tucson (via I-10 east), which will then tie into the California route (via I-10 west), and also into Phoenix/Las Vegas routes (via 85). There will be more development and warehousing needs. Casa Grande will likely house a lot of new development as well.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? If future projects need to take a lot of right-of-way land, homeowners that are upside down on their homes will likely be in financial strain if their homes are only bought at market value, considering our current home values. Funding will also certainly be an issue. We need to think of new ways to approach the funding of projects.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? This is very important. Technologies can help to increase capacity, and can help to allow for better traffic flow with real-time information. More real-time information and alternative route suggestions will be good to spread traffic and avoid heavy concentrations.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us? Heard Amazon is talking about moving to Goodyear. Certain more warehousing-type of operations will likely be attracted to the study area’s infrastructure. There are likely individuals that own land on the corridor that will want to sell at the “right time.”

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Chaun Hill with the State Engineering Valley Project Management Group - 602.712.6268. E-newsletter.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? Not at the moment.

Date: June 13, 2012 Conducted: June 11, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? The more Phoenix grows outward, the more the Phoenix International Raceway (PIR) is becoming the “center of town.” There is significant congestion when there are simultaneous events at Westgate and PIR. At capacity, there could be 60,000 football and 70,000 race fans on the freeway before and after a game. There is a major facility located 5 miles off the interstate on Avondale and Litchfield and Estrella Parkway.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? The southwest valley will continue to grow. The City and State need to work together to plan appropriately. PIR intends to grow and expand its existing facilities. They are planning capital improvements to add to the visitor experience.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? The PIR used to be more rural, and is slowly starting to become the center of town. With additional growth, it will become more urbanized which will certainly create traffic problems as more home are developed.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? The Tres Rios Project is an example of significant environmental impacts. This project will likely have environmental challenges to overcome.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Finding alternative opportunities will be important. Rail can certainly be an added benefit, and should be explored further. Real-time overhead VMS boards work great. Additional boards should be installed.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service.

Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Congestion at major interchanges: US 60, Interchange 143, 202, 17, and 101. There are several on/off ramps outside of these interchange zones that have congestion problems. One example that comes to mind is the Dysart Road, off the I-10. Happy Valley and the 303 and 85 interchanges would benefit from improvements.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? The area would become more attractive to existing and future businesses along the I-10. Improvements to the I-10 corridor would encourage additional industrial business west of Phoenix. Intersections outside of the I-10, but within the study area and adjacent to the on/off ramps would benefit from improvements. The nicer we make the I-10 facilities and overall trip experience, the more tourism we will draw in from California etc., which benefits the Arizona bottom line.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? The amount of available land from Tonopah to Central Phoenix is phenomenal. The I-10 is a huge growth corridor, and will only continue to fill in as the economy starts to turn around.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? Certainly environmental. Development and/or changes to areas that haven’t already been influenced will need to be approached sensitively.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Providing additional traffic monitoring signs is important as they provide information that is more effective for travelers to plan for their trips.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us? There is growth potential near the Hassayampa water aquifer site. If the aquifer is as large as has been speculated, it will certainly be a catalyst for development.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Environmental Groups. E-newsletter.

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? Real-time accident and weather data on the corridor would be beneficial for traveler communication and to avoid accidents. For example, dust storms happen unexpectedly and if there was a way to communicate that to travelers, it would certainly make a difference.

Date: July 2, 2012 Conducted: June 25, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions 1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are

needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? Freeway interchanges were identified (in the MAG region) through framework studies approximately every 2 miles; these should all be called out in the plan. Currently we are experiencing some challenges with the proposed interchanges, such as approval from FHWA (example Perryville). Traffic capacity of I-10 (west of the MAG region) probably warrants 6-lanes at some point, not justified at this time (capacity) in rural areas. Areas like Quartzsite see great increase in visitation during winter months. SR 30 intersection – how will this affect operations? Have you accounted for interstate to “parkway” connections? An interstate to parkway interchange template has been developed. Plans for the future configuration of the SR 85 and I-10 intersection accommodate a parkway to the north (Turner Parkway); improvements such as this provide Buckeye with development opportunities. The Avondale bridge over the Gila River needs to be widened to accommodate PIR traffic (add one lane). Automalls on I-10 (example, Avondale) are right up against I-10, and present challenge for additional right-of-way with any roadway expansion. There as several high-voltage power lines (2) proposed for the region north of I-10 and west of the White Tanks. The area needs a comprehensive drainage plan for the area west of the White Tanks. Consider the improvements planned for Buckeye airport. UP has the “first rights” to development of the Wellton line (railroad).

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Three lanes in each direction would be beneficial from a safety perspective (regardless of whether they are warranted by travel demand) – such a configuration would allow trucks the opportunity to pass slower vehicles while keeping passing lane open. This would also be beneficial to pavement preservation, as it would provide

HDR Engineering, Inc. 3200 E. Camelback RoadSuite 350Phoenix, AZ 85018-2311

better distribution of traffic. Should talk with the Arizona Motor Transport Association (Karen E. Rasmussen).

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? Must consider existing entitlements, area is planned and will likely be developed (eventually). Anticipate that in next couple of years construction activity will be coming back. Should be speaking with the Arizona Department of Commerce (current name?); realtor’s association; Chambers of Commerce.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? No fatal flaws seen – here are some observed issues that should be considered: funding is a challenge; there are likely archaeological sites (not fatal flaw); the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal; rest areas (proximity to right of way); width of the Colorado River Bridge (would need to be widened with freeway widening); and, the location of Port of entry, rest areas and other infrastructure in the corridor may be constraints to widening.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Extremely important, and necessary for improved safety in the corridor. An example of the type of intelligent transportation systems currently being deployed in Arizona is the “connected vehicle study”, a connected vehicle mobility application.1

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us?

There are a number of renewable energy projects (solar) in the west valley that are in development (going through Maricopa County Development Services). Tim Oliver has a map he can provide with the I-10 team if helpful.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? (refer to entities identified previously in responses) Maricopa County Development Services Tonopah Community Association Desert Creek homeowners association (vicinity of Hassayampa Freeway) WESTMARC Rock Products Association Association of General Contractors

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? Hopeville is a community in the corridor that is protected (this was a community that was relocated previously). There is an elementary school at 339th Avenue in the vicinity of I-10 to be aware of. I-10 is of critical importance to the Phoenix area. While we often view it as such, it is important to remember that the corridor links the east and west coasts of the nation, and is a critical national infrastructure.

Additional Comments: Thank you for your time!

1 The concept of connected vehicle mobility applications is that they capture real-time data from equipment located on-board vehicles (automobiles, trucks, and buses) and within the infrastructure. The data are transmitted wirelessly and are used by transportation managers in a wide range of dynamic, multi-modal applications to manage the transportation system for optimum performance.

Date: August 6, 2012 Conducted: July 12, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1) In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? The study needn’t address local, regional issues in the Maricopa Association of Governments’ (MAG) region as these needs have been addressed through other plans/studies. Refer to the Hassayampa Framework Study and others, one of the considerations is the SR 85/I-10 interchange; questions include how to fund, potential reconstruction of the interchange, and how does project fit in to overall plan. Another critical issue is how South Mountain Transportation Corridor will I-10, this connection is critical to the operations of the freeway from I-17 to the Loop 101. Other factors to consider include: the I-17 truck bypass reconstruction (anticipated); Intelligent transportation systems (traffic can truly benefit); SR 30 and capacity relief it will offer I-10.

2) How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? I-10 is a key facility for the region and nation. Look at how the entire system operates – all critical to the continued operation and efficiency of I-10. Today, being competitive is all about speed and reliability. Consider the developing distribution facilities (warehousing) – what are the corridors and sub-corridors that serve them and what are their needs? These are critical questions in assuring that we can move products to the marketplace.

3) What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? MAG is currently updating the region’s socioeconomic forecasts. The west valley is anticipated to be a large growth area with significant industrial and light industrial development.

4) Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? Funding is always a major concern, with changes in taxes, revenue sources, not a given.

5) Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Yes, integration of technologies is very important. (Sarath C. Joshua Ph. D joined the meeting). Currently PB MAG is conducting a study of managed lanes. Freeway Management System (FMS) on I-10 currently extends to 83rd Avenue, and is programmed out to 99th Avenue. There are lots of problems with interruptions in the corridor (crashes), Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) is involved in helping to address. DPS plays a critical role with transportation agencies, when things break down – DPS takes control. DPS is knowledgeable about ITS, crash and traffic incident management (and resultant secondary crashes). Requires a higher level of coordination with adjoining arterial network. Would like to see FMS extended to Buckeye (minimum); the Regional Transportation Plan includes extension of FMS to 99th Avenue. Dynamic Messaging Signs are useful. There is the ability to share significant information in the corridor. Sharing of information beneficial to all modes (transit is able to keep abreast of travel times. MAG is currently able to access the freeway cameras. ITS still requires people to operate, some cities have the ability to monitor 24 hours a day. MAG made effort in 2007 to get research and implementation of ITS funded through the U.S. DOT (not accepted).

6) Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about?

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? There is an existing agreement with the Bureau of Reclamation (BOR) for existing CAP canal crossings. Agreement establishes bridges and may need to establish additional ROW as the valley continues to grow. Looking into establishing a permit from Bureau of Land Management to transfer the rights to the BOR. There is currently really no reason for the BLM to manage land that the BOR maintains, and adds a layer to the process as requests must currently go through BLM for permits. There are ongoing discussions to establish the CAP corridor as a recreational trail. This has received support from trail plans for Maricopa County, Scottsdale and others. The CAP corridor has also been identified as a national recreational trail. For a recreational trail, a continuous trail running along the outside of the fence would be needed. Access to canal is most important. Drainage from runoff on freeway corridor needs to be controlled for water quality concerns at the canal. (TF)

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Improved transportation facilities would facilitate economic growth and development in the area. CAP staff regularly travels to the west valley and encounters considerable traffic. Another travel lane and/or improved connectivity would ease the flow of traffic. (AA)

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? The canal system used to be in the middle of nowhere, and is now in an urban area. Projections for growth to go through Tonopah. Working on recharging basins, acquiring water and ensuring 100-year supplies. There will be more growth, capacity increase and crossings required in the future. Will need to decide how that impacts operations and maintenance, access to the canal, and the overall well-being of the community. (TF)

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10

Corridor? CAP clearance requirements are an important consideration of the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 corridor. Bridges that cross the CAP canal are expensive and must meet specific clearance requirements. Cost will be important when considering improvements and/or physical constraints of crossing canals in the study area. (AA)

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Yes. Real-time message signs are important for drivers. The faster the information is shared, the easier it is to plan for alternative routes. (AA)

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us? 303 linking, Turner Parker. Douglas Ranch is a development. 500 – 230 KV lines from Palo Verde will be crossing freeway, from Palo Verde to the Sun Valley substation, and then to the Morgan substation, formerly the T55. There is a smaller substation on the south side of the I-10. The Bidler Water Company has been recharging water for years into the aquifer and would like to take water out of the well sites and sell to the canals. (TF)

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Tom Fitzgerald with CAP runs the Land group. Phone number is 623.869.2209. Add Tom to the e-mail list – [email protected]. Contact by e-mail distribution. (AA)

8. Are there any other issues you would like to express? The Liberty Parker Line power line at Buckeye will need to be considered as part of this study effort. New Mexico solar farms are looking at getting energy over to California. There may be a need to a number 2 line in the near future along the corridor to leverage the connection between the two states. (TF)

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? ADOT needs to build a roundabout at Exit #1 on the south side just as what has been built on the north side of the freeway. Intersections at Quartzite should be addressed. The area is a ghost town in the summer, but attracts 200,000 people in the winter. Should look into studying the on/off ramps to ease the gridlock during the high-peak season. Study should also look at the oversized loads that are unable to go through the I-10 because of weight and/or height. This creates problems for frontage roads.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Improved facilities would help a lot. Economic development is good, and people spending money is great for the local economy.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? La Paz County completed a PARA study in 2009. The study showed a population of 22,347 in 2009, and an anticipated population of 28,000 in 2030 at a moderate growth scale, and 42,734 at an aggressive growth scale.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? None come to mind.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Real-time message sharing is important.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residential and/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or public sector that you are able to share with us?

Yes. Landfill in the La Paz area. There are plans to expand and bring solid waste from California. This would certainly add traffic to the region and to the corridor.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts? How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds? Dan Field, County Manager should be included. Contact by e-mail distribution.

Transportation

Date: June 11, 2012 Conducted: June 8, 2012

Introduction (to be read at the start of each) The I-10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluate the existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation system requirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal and commercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service. The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The project is anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of that outreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions

1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I-10? There are no alternate routes outside of the I-10 into California. Establishing alternate routes is key to ensuring connections are made seamlessly, while paying special attention to maintaining the flow of traffic while clearing accidents, road construction or other circumstances that may prevent the clear flow of traffic.

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economic development)? Traffic may be increased by overall economic activity, which may adversely impact improved facilities. New facilities should plan for the growth of activity along the corridor.

3. What growth/developments and socio-economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in your particular locality or region? Additional growth is planned in Palm Springs. Housing will likely produce more traffic and backup traffic throughout that area and on the on-ramps and off-ramps.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, or community concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I-10 Corridor? Any improvements to the corridor will certainly need to consider environmental concerns. Desert tortoises have proven to be an issue for some projects. Funding is certainly a concern, especially for operations and maintenance. Projects are more and more considering private funding in order to get projects off the ground.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so, what kind of technologies? Cameras should be installed on poles all the way to the Arizona / California border. This is important for safety. Real-time communication is great and should continue to the border as well; truckers especially benefit when transporting goods to know what times to leave a warehouse.

Introduction (to be read at the start of each)The I 10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study is being conducted by ADOT. The main objectives of the study are to evaluatethe existing transportation system and determine current and future needs, as well as transportation systemrequirements for the future. The intent of the study is to consider a range of mobility options, including personal andcommercial vehicles, rail, and public transit and air service.

The Plan process is flexible to address other issues or priorities as they are identified through outreach efforts. The projectis anticipated to be completed in approximately 6 months and will involve stakeholder and public outreach. Part of thatoutreach involves input from you and we appreciate your willingness to participate in this survey.

Stakeholder Questions1. In your opinion what are some of the local and regional issues this study must address? What improvements are

needed to existing roads and transportation services as they relate to I 10?

It is recognized that even with additional lanes, habitat loss as a result of roadway footprint is relatively small.Major concern has to do with fragmentation of wildlife habitat. Wildlife crossings represent several concerns, (1)direct mortality with vehicles, and (2) animals ability to cross the highway (i.e., permeability). I 10 crossesPlomosa Mountains (approximately 10 miles east of Quartzsite), prime Bighorn sheep habitat. For Bighorn sheep,need overpass to maintain full permeability, often designed with exclusion fencing to ‘funnel’ wildlife to crossing.

Research is necessary to identify where the best locations are for designing crossing. These should be done inadvance to incorporate outcomes into design (although it was noted that they may also be done concurrentlywith NEPA environmental process to save time). It may be difficult to find funding for research, best to get upfront with this issue and address as early as possible – cost effective means of getting to an acceptable solution.

There are specific species that they (AZ G&F) are concerned about. There are county (specific) environmentallinkages information In addition to the state wide assessment that was done some years ago. This information isavailable on the Arizona Game and Fish website, refer to “Maricopa County Wildlife Connectivity Assessment”(note: the La Paz County data is forthcoming).

There are also other indirect issues that have an impact, such as invasive species, pollution of waterways.Mitigation, especially when considered in advance can address many of the concerns. Issues that come up withcorridor projects include impacts to riparian areas, use of groundwater resources, riparian crossings and design(habitat linkages typically tied to washes).

While Construction projects represent risk to habitat and special status species, there is always an opportunity tomitigate past problems and address issues with any project.

Another concern of the agency is access to public lands. Oftentimes culverts are used to cross roadway and this

activity competes with wildlife looking for crossings. In addition, ROW fencing often presents problems inproximity to culverts as it often narrows down collecting trash and debris that further limits wildlife access.Arizona Game and Fish advocates pushing back fencing around culverts, and maintaining culvert crossings. It wasalso noted that some energy dissipating designs are not wildlife friendly (for example ‘rip wrap’).

2. How would the area be affected by improved transportation facilities in the I 10 Corridor (e.g., growth, economicdevelopment)?

NEPA corridor studies often do not disclose effects, and/or conduct a thorough evaluation of broader impacts,including induced development. These indirect and cumulative impacts can have significant environmental effects.

Railroads corridors along the interstate can have significant impact to wildlife, especially freight. High frequencyfreight corridors act as a ‘moving fence’. [Note: follow up with Mike Keis, ADOT, for additional information on theLos Angeles, California to Phoenix ‘bullet train’)

3. What growth/developments and socio economic changes do you see occurring over the next 20 years in yourparticular locality or region?

Concerns with widening in the vicinity of the White Tank Mountains. The Buckeye Flood Retention Dam is inproximity to I 10 here. Interchanges planned to connect to future freeways (as identified in the HassayampaFramework Study) will need to be designed to allow for habitat connectivity through the region.

There are a number of solar projects being considered for the area north of the I 10 Corridor. One project that ismoving forward is the Saddle Mountain project. MCDOT is currently planning several parkway projects in theBuckeye area; the interchanges with I 10 will require design for wildlife crossing.

4. Are there any "fatal flaws" such as economic, physical, environmental constraints, specific preservation areas, orcommunity concerns that would be an obstacle to the development of transportation facilities in the I 10Corridor?

No fatal flaws to speak of need to keep aware of the changes in species status which would have a significantimpact (ex. Desert tortoise). Can mitigate around most any issues, however, where possible avoid, then minimize,and finally mitigate; wildlife concerns need to be addressed.

5. Is integration of new technologies within the corridor important (e.g., intelligent transportation systems)? If so,what kind of technologies?There is a much better understanding today of wildlife crossings that should be applied to corridor plans.

6. Are there any recent data sources, or other information about future development projects, such as residentialand/or commercial, schools, or others that we should know about? Any current discussions with private or publicsector that you are able to share with us?

Refer to discussion on the recent databases and habitat information available through the Arizona Game and FishDepartment website.

7. What other groups, agencies, organizations, or individuals do you recommend we include in our outreach efforts?How would you like to be involved as this study unfolds?

Reach out to non governmental organizations such as the Nature Conservancy, Sonoran Institute, Arizona DesertBighorn Sheep Society.

The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is conducting a long range planning study forInterstate 10 called the I 10 Multimodal Corridor Profile Study. The study area for this projectextends from downtown Phoenix (Central Avenue) to the Arizona/California border. Interstate10 and Interstate 40 are the only interstate highways that cross the entire state of Arizona. As acontinuous coast to coast national transportation route, I 10 is a principal freight route thatconnects the southern California deep sea ports with major metropolitan areas inArizona, Texas, and Florida. The intent of the study is to take a comprehensive look at theplanning studies that have been completed for this corridor and create a document thatillustrates the projects and possible planning needs in the study area.

The goal of the study is different for the different segments of I 10 in Maricopa and La Pazcounties. Each county has its own primary goal.

Maricopa County• Consolidate multiple planning documents into one document. Within Maricopa County,there are two studies that serve as the primary guide for the I 10 corridor: the MAG RegionalTransportation Plan and the Interstate 10 Hassayampa Valley Transportation FrameworkStudy. The I 10 Corridor Study will focus on compiling the recommendations from thesestudies and others into a single planning resource focused on the I 10corridor. New alternatives and improvements will not be recommended within MaricopaCounty.

La Paz County• Consolidate multiple planning documents into one document.• Develop a clear vision for future transportation needs along the I 10 corridor. The segmentof I 10 that traverses La Paz County has not had the same level of planning when compared to

the Maricopa County segment; therefore, ADOT staff analyzed the I 10 corridor through La PazCounty for transportation needs that included a range of mobility options, including personaland commercial vehicles, rail, air service and public transit.

The I 10 Corridor Study began in summer 2011 and is scheduled for completion in winter 2012.

Given the length of the corridor, a wide variety of interests will be affected, making publicparticipation in the study process essential. The study team will meet with agencyrepresentatives to gather information about the study area.

Date completed or adopted: Adopted by MAG Regional Council, November 2003 (Most recently approved July 2010)

Lead agency: Maricopa Association of GovernmentsAuthor: HDR Engineering, Inc.Study area: Maricopa County, Arizona (i.e., the MAG Region)Purpose: The RTP is a comprehensive, performance based, multimodal and coordinated regional plan, covering the period through Fiscal Year (FY) 2031. Covering all major modes from a regional perspective, including freeways/highways, streets, public mass transit, airports, bicycles and pedestrian facilities, goods movement and special needs transportation. Key transportation-related activities are addressed, such as transportation demand management, system management, safety, security and air quality conformity analysis. The RTP is prepared, updated, and adopted by MAG, the regional planning agency for the Maricopa County area. Recommendations relative to I-10: The RTP identified major improvements to increase the capacity of I-10. The improvements include the addition of general purpose lanes between I-17 and State Route 85, as well as an extension of HOV lanes as far west as Loop 303. (UPDATE) HOV lanes have been added between the Loop 101 (Agua Fria) and Loop 303, providing a continuous HOV connection between Loop 303 and I-17. New traffic interchanges are also added at El Mirage Road, Bullard Avenue, and Perryville Road. Construction work has been completed to add HOV and general purpose lanes in the median of I-10 between Sarival Avenue and Loop 101, general purpose lanes along the outside of I-10 between Sarival Avenue and Dysart Road, and one general purpose lane in each direction between Verrado Way and Sarival Avenue. Future Corridor Improvements: A project to increase general purpose lane capacity along the segment between Loop 101 (Agua Fria) and I-17 is identified for implementation in Phase II. This work would be developed in coordination with construction of the Loop 202 (South Mountain) interchange at I-10 and possible improvements to the I-10/I-17 interchange, which may be identified as part of a broader solution to central area freeway congestion. The addition of one general purpose lane in each direction along the segment between SR 85 and Verrado Way is programmed for Phase V. Construction of new traffic interchanges at Perryville Road and El Mirage Road are identified in Phase II and Phase IV, respectively.Further information: www.azmag.gov/

CORRIDOR - TYPE SITE ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

The following criteria are to be used for projects that have a linear or corridor - type site configuration connecting two distantpoints, and crossing several different tracts of land. These include utility lines, highways, railroads, stream improvements, and floodcontrol systems. Federal agencies are to assess the suitability of each corridor - type site or design alternative for protection as farmlandalong with the land evaluation information.

(1) How much land is in nonurban use within a radius of 1.0 mile from where the project is intended?More than 90 percent - 15 points 90 to 20 percent - 14 to 1 point(s)Less than 20 percent - 0 points

(2) How much of the perimeter of the site borders on land in nonurban use?More than 90 percent - 10 points90 to 20 percent - 9 to 1 point(s)Less than 20 percent - 0 points

(3) How much of the site has been farmed (managed for a scheduled harvest or timber activity) more than five of the last10 years?More than 90 percent - 20 points90 to 20 percent - 19 to 1 point(s)Less than 20 percent - 0 points

(4) Is the site subject to state or unit of local government policies or programs to protect farmland or covered by private programs to protect farmland?Site is protected - 20 pointsSite is not protected - 0 points

(5) Is the farm unit(s) containing the site (before the project) as large as the average - size farming unit in the County ?(Average farm sizes in each county are available from the NRCS field offices in each state. Data are from the latest available Census ofAgriculture, Acreage or Farm Units in Operation with $1,000 or more in sales.)As large or larger - 10 pointsBelow average - deduct 1 point for each 5 percent below the average, down to 0 points if 50 percent or more below average - 9 to 0 points

(6) If the site is chosen for the project, how much of the remaining land on the farm will become non-farmable because of interference with land patterns?Acreage equal to more than 25 percent of acres directly converted by the project - 25 pointsAcreage equal to between 25 and 5 percent of the acres directly converted by the project - 1 to 24 point(s)Acreage equal to less than 5 percent of the acres directly converted by the project - 0 points

(7) Does the site have available adequate supply of farm support services and markets, i.e., farm suppliers, equipment dealers, processing and storage facilities and farmer's markets?All required services are available - 5 pointsSome required services are available - 4 to 1 point(s)No required services are available - 0 points

(8) Does the site have substantial and well-maintained on-farm investments such as barns, other storage building, fruit treesand vines, field terraces, drainage, irrigation, waterways, or other soil and water conservation measures?High amount of on-farm investment - 20 pointsModerate amount of on-farm investment - 19 to 1 point(s)No on-farm investment - 0 points

(9) Would the project at this site, by converting farmland to nonagricultural use, reduce the demand for farm supportservices so as to jeopardize the continued existence of these support services and thus, the viability of the farms remaining in the area?Substantial reduction in demand for support services if the site is converted - 25 pointsSome reduction in demand for support services if the site is converted - 1 to 24 point(s)No significant reduction in demand for support services if the site is converted - 0 points

(10) Is the kind and intensity of the proposed use of the site sufficiently incompatible with agriculture that it is likely tocontribute to the eventual conversion of surrounding farmland to nonagricultural use?Proposed project is incompatible to existing agricultural use of surrounding farmland - 10 pointsProposed project is tolerable to existing agricultural use of surrounding farmland - 9 to 1 point(s)Proposed project is fully compatible with existing agricultural use of surrounding farmland - 0 points
