We'll get phone there and attended. 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.000 And some of you are attending today may be familiar with our commission. 00:03:52.000 --> 00:04:03.000 I wanted to provide some brief background. 48. We are a State agency with 11 commissioners, 9 of whom are pointed by the Governor and 2 by the Legislature. 00:04:03.000 --> 00:04:21.000 In addition to myself, we also have 4 conditioners. We have 4 commissioners, Jay Brashard here, along along with more Commissioners Jordan, Lou, and Martinez, and we have our Interior Executive director also with us today. 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:33.000 It's worse. The main responsibility. Our Commission is to allocate State and Federal funding to transportation projects throughout the State of California. 00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:43.000 We also have a few other accounts, one of which is to approve applications for local agencies or to health transport in State highways. 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:48.000 And that brings us to the purpose of today's hearing, which is informal. 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:58.000 The information information. I hear you to receive public comment or an application to total state. 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:06.000 Rough 37. You're inviting. This application is vitally important to us. 00:05:06.000 --> 00:05:12.000 You provide the instructions on how to comment. Once we get to the comment period, and it's 10. 00:05:12.000 --> 00:05:20.000 Item number 4. Now we moved to a number 2, which would be an overview of the Commission's school facility. 00:05:20.000 --> 00:05:27.000 Approval process. Alright, integrate, executive director, Toisha Taylor. 00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:36.000 Thank you. Christina Brisby, and thank you all. Thank you to all of before we hear about the project and receive public. 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:46.000 To first make everyone aware of the process. The 2015, the legislature passed the law which is signed. 00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:51.000 The Commission as a responsibility to approve the toll facilities in California. 00:05:51.000 --> 00:05:57.000 This one contains several minimum criteria for the Commission to consider for a Tool Facility Act. 00:05:57.000 --> 00:06:08.000 For example, the product must demonstrate that it won't prove core or performance, such as by increasing the number of people being able to pass through the corridor, or by reducing travel delays. 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:13.000 In addition, the Commission approved program guidelines. In March 2016. 00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:32.000 That request applicants to provide supplemental information such as the project's impact on nearby transportation routes and impacts on air follows a complete list of the application requirements in the law and the Commission's guidelines are available on the Commission's website for by contacting the Commission 00:06:32.000 --> 00:06:44.000 director. The wall also requires the Commission prior to approving an application conducted at this one public hearing at or near. 00:06:44.000 --> 00:07:02.000 Alright! And March 20 seventh. The Commission received an application from the Bay area infrastructure, credit. 00:07:02.000 --> 00:07:07.000 To the Mayor, pilot, interchange. 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:13.000 The hearing we are holding today on this application. Is informational only to listen and receive. 00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:19.000 Okay. I went to emphasize this there'll be no actions taken today by definition. 00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:40.000 We are here to listen and learn about the application, and to hear from the Public Commission staff currently are reviewing the application and will be taking into consideration all of the public comment that we received from today's hearing, as well as any additional written comments we received after days here and before Commission staff will then make a 00:07:40.000 --> 00:07:50.000 recommendation for the Commission, whether to approve the application. At the next Commission meeting, which will be held on May seventeenth. 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:54.000 Again. That's May seventeenth and eighteenth. 00:07:54.000 --> 00:08:01.000 And closing. I would like to be able, if that stays here is informational only for the purpose of receiving. 00:08:01.000 --> 00:08:07.000 And again. Thank you all for joining us today. 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:19.000 Thank you. Next up we will hear from Andrew Eric, executive director of infrastructure, finance, support. 00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:29.000 Executive director of the National Transportation Commission and Bay Area Financial Authority. 00:08:29.000 --> 00:08:59.000 I think we have a 5 min video. It's really designed puts context on the projects we'll be talking about. 00:09:02.000 --> 00:09:18.000 Hello, highway. 37 is a critical piece of the Bay area of Mobile mobility puzzle the 21 Mile Corridor connects Solano County cities and some of the most affordable housing of the Bay area with jobs in marin and sonoma counties yet 00:09:18.000 --> 00:09:22.000 the road is challenged by the issues of congestion, flooding. 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:32.000 Okay. 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:36.000 Sears Point to Mary Island, routinely adding 30 min to morning. 00:09:36.000 --> 00:09:42.000 Commute times and 80 min to the evening commute. Sometimes it's even worse. 00:09:42.000 --> 00:09:48.000 Storms and king tides have shut down the Marin County site of the highway for days at a time. 00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:59.000 There is no easy alternative to highway 37 drivers forced to detour north or south, would have to travel twice as far to get from Vallejo to Devado, or vice versa. 00:09:59.000 --> 00:10:23.000 A commitment to equity requires a reliable link between the comparatively affordable housing in cities like Vallejo, Fairfield, and American Canyon, and the job markets to the West, and congestion relief is necessary to make highway 37 of viable route 00:10:23.000 --> 00:10:24.000 Okay. 00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:34.000 for new bus service, that's why these state and regional agencies formed apart partnership to develop and build both near-term and long-term solutions for highway 37 working with transportation authorities in Solano Napa sonoma and marin counties the partners have 00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:46.000 several key goals. Resilience near-term and long-term adaptation to reduce risk from flooding and sea level, rise plus early enhancements for sensitive bay lands. 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:47.000 Equity reduced delays caused by congestion, and add bus transit. 00:10:47.000 --> 00:11:09.000 40% of all highway. 37 trips are taken by folks who live in lower-income households, access increased bike, pedestrian and recreational access across the North Bay restoration integrate restoration of the historic North Bay Bay lands in the redesign of highway 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:27.000 37 rising sea levels will require a permanent long-term solution that's higher, wider, safer, greener, and built to last Caltrans this winter identified an elevated 4 lane causeway along the existing highway, 37 alignment with bicycle and 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:30.000 pedestrian path and accommodations for an eventual extension of smart rail service. 00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:40.000 As they preferred solution for improving mobility, adapting to rising waters and restoring the health of the sun. 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:41.000 Awesome. 00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:48.000 Pablo. Baylass. It is expected to take at least 10 to 20 years, and billions of dollars that are not yet available. 00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:55.000 To make this vision a reality. The team proposes to reduce congestion in the bottleneck between Sears pointed Amera Island. 00:11:55.000 --> 00:12:06.000 By using the existing shoulders to add another lane in each direction. 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:07.000 Okay. 00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:13.000 Challenges include minimizing impacts on sensitive wetlands and the use of any bay fill but this 10 Mile Improvement Project could open to traffic in 5 years or less accelerating highway 37 s. 00:12:13.000 --> 00:12:18.000 Permanent transmission, allowing faster and more reliable travel throughout the highway. 00:12:18.000 --> 00:12:24.000 37 quarter car pool aides to prioritize high occupancy vehicles during peak commute times. 00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:32.000 The entry of bus service between Vallejo and both Nevada and San Beaver improved public access to the Bay trail. 00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:39.000 The Vine trail, and Vallejo waterfront sites a critical head start on improving hydraulic flows and restoring key. 00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:55.000 Marshland Habitats. Specific improvements include replacing the Tulip Creek bridge near Sears Point with a much longer bridge that will promote Baylan's restoration by allowing more water to flow into and out of the creek channel plus enhancements to 00:12:55.000 --> 00:13:06.000 stop deterioration of what's known as Strip Marsh east near Mare Island, which provides habitat for the endangered salt Marsh, harvest mouse, and other species. 00:13:06.000 --> 00:13:17.000 The other big issue, of course, is money for both. The near-term Sears point to Mary Island improvements and the series of long-term resilience projects to completely transform the entire highway. 00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:35.000 37 corridor tolls are a practical solution that cannot only help speed, project completion, but also serve as a match to secure other regional state and Federal dollars by encouraging carpooling and transit use tolling can also help manage traffic congestion and reduce 00:13:35.000 --> 00:13:38.000 overall vehicle. Miles traveled in 2023. 00:13:38.000 --> 00:13:41.000 The Bay Area infrastructure, financing, authority and Mtc. 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:42.000 Okay. 00:13:42.000 --> 00:13:53.000 Affiliate, applied to the California Transportation Commission for Authorization to operate a toll facility on the critical stretch of highway 37 between Sears pointed Mayor Island. 00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:54.000 The proposal includes toll free Carpool lanes, and told general purpose lengths with tolls collected electronically, toll collection would not begin until these new lanes open for traffic and transit alternatives and a low-income toll discount program similar to other mtc sponsored equity 00:13:54.000 --> 00:14:13.000 Okay. , okay. 00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:24.000 initiatives are in place. What do you think about the proposed near term project and the use of tolls to improve mobility and begin environmental restoration as soon as possible. 00:14:24.000 --> 00:14:42.000 We look forward to hearing from you, as we discussed the past, the present, and especially the future of Highway 37. 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:51.000 We do it, we're ready into our platform. 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:58.000 Yes, so I think. Want to start out by really emphasize that this is a partnership. 00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:07.000 This is a partnership. Okay, okay? 00:15:07.000 --> 00:15:15.000 Okay, in addition to video made reference to the representation of the partnership that we're all developing resource agencies. 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:22.000 A lot of the. 00:15:22.000 --> 00:15:29.000 Sorry. That's why. 00:15:29.000 --> 00:15:39.000 So a little bit about the Bay area structure. That is a joint power is already made up of metropolitan. 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:45.000 There. It's managed by the same. 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:50.000 And it's well versed in the work associated with. 00:15:50.000 --> 00:15:59.000 So the area operates the Bay area express links to Bay Area toll for the fast track. 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:13.000 Can I ask you to speak just a little bit? So the Bay Area infrastructure, finance, authority is a joint powers. 00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:25.000 Authority made up of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission and Mayor administered by the exact same Commission staff as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. 00:16:25.000 --> 00:16:30.000 It currently operates through the Bay area. Fast track system. 00:16:30.000 --> 00:16:35.000 All of the express that are operated on. 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:46.000 It's also used to finance other investments in the region, and is an organization that's been in place for many years. 00:16:46.000 --> 00:16:51.000 Now next slide. 00:16:51.000 --> 00:17:02.000 So the question here is, why toy first of all, tolling does help finance the infrastructure investments that we're making today. 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:06.000 It will be used as a local match match with State Federal Grants. 00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:12.000 This particular the project, and it will also provide revenue to keep it open. 00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:19.000 Already during its term, it also will help us deliver on a lot of the ecological. 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:25.000 Yes, required to do what want to do? 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:29.000 The important point to mention is was mentioned in the presentation. 00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:37.000 Video is that tolling would not be good until the improvements, adding capacity transit investments are ready. 00:17:37.000 --> 00:17:54.000 It will also have a low income component, as was mentioned, similar to the work that we've done on transit and clipper start and are currently just beginning on our expressway. 00:17:54.000 --> 00:18:00.000 Toll rates will be consistent with the other toll bridges in the region, and will be collected. 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:06.000 Electronics, next slide. 00:18:06.000 --> 00:18:18.000 It's important also, just to remember that the primary investment is really around that most of the folks that commute on this roadway are living in the Vallejo. 00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:22.000 It's Long county here, and working the West Bay. 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:28.000 They can't generally afford the housing. It's there until the housing balance is resolved. 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:34.000 We really need to take pay close attention to that. It's also very important. 00:18:34.000 --> 00:18:38.000 Corridor for. 00:18:38.000 --> 00:18:55.000 Trying to keep. So during events like that are what we see happening with these first improvements is that we'll reduce the travel times for what can be a market to 26 min. 00:18:55.000 --> 00:19:02.000 We also think in westbound. You'll approve the traffic delays for about 60 min, 30 min. 00:19:02.000 --> 00:19:14.000 We also think the investments pay off in terms of the economic benefits, so that we do see by saving those traveler delays we'll have considerable improvements in the account. 00:19:14.000 --> 00:19:22.000 We also want to mention that about half of the cost of the investment goes to improvements that are required, regardless of whether. 00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:29.000 So this project needs significant improvements to keep it open and operational. 00:19:29.000 --> 00:19:32.000 Due to the fact that it. 00:19:32.000 --> 00:19:42.000 Subsides in certain areas. And we will also be making the improvements to several bridge structures that impede the way the water flows. 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:53.000 And then, as I mentioned, we'll be adding public access to some of the existing day trail work that we're going as well as. 00:19:53.000 --> 00:19:54.000 So, to sum that up, we just think this is a critical core. 00:19:54.000 --> 00:20:01.000 For many reasons. And we're really excited about the options. 00:20:01.000 --> 00:20:17.000 This project would be. With that I'd like to turn the mic over to email translate the executive. The account transfer. 00:20:17.000 --> 00:20:22.000 I want to talk to the next few slides. About 37 is very important. 00:20:22.000 --> 00:20:28.000 So I want to start with the slide here this shows the day of everybody else, you know. 00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:33.000 37, it's one of the most critical links. 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:41.000 Between the us, 1 1. 00:20:41.000 --> 00:20:48.000 We start the Western segment, which is. 00:20:48.000 --> 00:20:56.000 And then the, and then the third segment to the east. 00:20:56.000 --> 00:21:14.000 Excuse me, intersping a. This is a very good approach, as mentioned by that, you know, provides that link between the housing market. 00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:22.000 It's also an important route in the sense that it doesn't have a whole lot of alternatives in terms of the detours. 00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:33.000 If you look at the Mac on the very top of the presentation, there on the slide. 00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:39.000 And then, which is significantly over the top. 00:21:39.000 --> 00:21:45.000 Yeah. The. 00:21:45.000 --> 00:21:51.000 Also, you know, if you look at segment, A, which is the Us. 00:21:51.000 --> 00:21:56.000 101121. That this is the 4 main highway, giving us 2 lanes in each direction. 00:21:56.000 --> 00:22:01.000 Second between 1 21 and their too late in my wedding. 00:22:01.000 --> 00:22:09.000 Just one day each direction, and then second to see where I went, and energy 80 is also 40. 00:22:09.000 --> 00:22:20.000 So you completely see that there's a lot of that's 9 and a half. 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:28.000 Say about 37, has many challenges. We talked a little bit about the suggestion challenge in the fact that we have today's combined peak hours. 00:22:28.000 --> 00:22:36.000 Okay, it's something that a lot of the. 00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:49.000 But it also has a couple of, okay. Yeah. 00:22:49.000 --> 00:23:06.000 And we have to repeat that again. And most recently, this year the flooding has been a very accurate issue that we needed to deal with. We've spent a lot of money. 00:23:06.000 --> 00:23:10.000 In addition to Buddy, there's also sea level rise, issue. 00:23:10.000 --> 00:23:14.000 Oh! This route is expected to be on! 00:23:14.000 --> 00:23:19.000 And we need to figure out solutions, and how we are in address. 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:26.000 And how we're going to be able to to an adequate elevation. 00:23:26.000 --> 00:23:30.000 Next slide, please. 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:39.000 But also, you know, another thing that we need to look at is, what are we gonna do in the long term in order for us to be able to achieve that? 00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:49.000 And ultimately it's what's described here in terms of the benefits that we need. 00:23:49.000 --> 00:24:08.000 Just all of that. This project is going to be turning from us 1 one all the way to her state meeting, and it will provide many benefits, including addressing C level rise, ecological preservation, and conservation. 00:24:08.000 --> 00:24:16.000 And also access to business and equity. Next slide. Please. 00:24:16.000 --> 00:24:26.000 So what do we do? In the meanwhile, there's a couple of very important projects that are on board today. We're here to talk about one of the. 00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:44.000 Which addresses a number of benefits that provides thericultural services which benefits beneath our. In addition to the project we're here to discuss today, there's also the C level. 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:59.000 The Flood production project. Excuse me. The fluctuation project is looking at to address the plugging that's reoccurring all the time. 00:24:59.000 --> 00:25:09.000 So, while working on these 2 projects, we're also working on the reservoir 37 ultimate project. 00:25:09.000 --> 00:25:15.000 And recently since December of last year, has completed the test which stands for Canada Department of Lincolnshire. 00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:35.000 One of those identifies how we can address you number on the entire State on 37. And it has basically put together an implementation plan recommending the PC strategy, which device the ultimate project over all the projects. 00:25:35.000 --> 00:25:43.000 I would like next to introduce. 00:25:43.000 --> 00:25:47.000 Thank you. Director, Jeanette Westman and DC. 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:56.000 State valve 37. The manager. So I'm gonna talk to you more about the project itself and the polling. 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.000 So, the H. Ov lane and the Google of the Lane drop. 00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.000 In this innovative fashion is really the heart of this project. 00:26:02.000 --> 00:26:11.000 The schematic is the center of this side showcases. 00:26:11.000 --> 00:26:18.000 How we plan on delivering that with the HIV lane in each direction and alongside general purpose, Point. 00:26:18.000 --> 00:26:27.000 We also will be including the bus transit that was earlier discuss, discussed to provide alternatives to your vehicle. 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:56.000 Getting across the corridor. We also will be providing enhancements to recreation in the corridor, and then making really important safety improvements to address collisions, reducing the chance of secondary collisions through intelligent transportation systems such as changeable 00:26:56.000 --> 00:27:00.000 message signs that will alert you with their severe delays. 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:08.000 If it's a crash event, we also have resilience, effort, that's even this interim near term. 00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:14.000 Protein that will be in the form of ecological restoration and early enhancements. 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:32.000 And I'll talk more about that in a moment. And Tony is really this critical step to making all of this happen to fund the project and to do so in a way that is, you know, performing with our States sustainability policy and presence. 00:27:32.000 --> 00:27:41.000 But managing traffic demand and reducing vehicle miles travel. Vmt. 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:49.000 Thank you. So this slide shows who's using the portal where they donate. 00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:50.000 And what do we talk about when we're talking about? 00:27:50.000 --> 00:28:06.000 The toll entry. So the background master from Mbta. 2018 study. The green indicates where travelers are starting, and the orange is their destination with the darker Col. 00:28:06.000 --> 00:28:30.000 A greater concentration of power, you can see here that there are, as we already know, you know, substantial travel of the travelers are beginning in the lake of their field area and heading to the west to places like Sandrafell, Nevada. 00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:40.000 And the slide to the right is just showing that sound reverse movement. 00:28:40.000 --> 00:28:42.000 So the total gantries will be of the panic tool collecting systems. 00:28:42.000 --> 00:28:57.000 We have one to 2 that are being considered the picture to the left shows the location that's we have one to 2 that are being considered. 00:28:57.000 --> 00:29:02.000 The picture to the left shows the location that's considered by Marylands. 00:29:02.000 --> 00:29:17.000 We have one to 2 that are being considered. The feature to the left shows the location that's considered by Maryland and the other toll at 50% in each direction. 00:29:17.000 --> 00:29:21.000 That's fine! 00:29:21.000 --> 00:29:29.000 So this slide shows our project timeline. The steps in great are the bases that we've already. 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:36.000 So we have just recently completed our sequel, and Deepa analysis, wrapped up in February. 00:29:36.000 --> 00:29:58.000 We are now beginning the final design and limiting the project and our working towards beginning construction, and 2025 with the goal of opening the project and the improvements in 2025, with the goal of opening the project and the improvements to the public in 2027 next slide. 00:29:58.000 --> 00:29:59.000 This is our funding plan. So we have approximately 80 million of funds already. 00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:13.000 In hand, so we have approximately 80 million of funds already in hand that is largely of regional and state funds. 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:22.000 We're looking for polling, financing, from tolls to make up another approximately 100 million to help pay for the project and leverage future. 00:30:22.000 --> 00:30:29.000 Grant funding excellent. 00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:41.000 So now I want to brief the sound of the project benefits, and why we think this is so important to carry forward next slide. 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.000 The project is grounded and based around equity. So we have third, long and hard back. 00:30:45.000 --> 00:30:56.000 The problems that are facing commuters who are going large, large job opportunities to the West. 00:30:56.000 --> 00:31:17.000 There is a more affordable home ownership in Eastern portion of the corner Solono County, and recognizing the third experience and the congestion they're experiencing, getting stuck in traffic as part of those commutes. 00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:22.000 So this project is really oriented around those disadvantaged communities. 00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:33.000 And trying to improve quality of life. This state by 37 travelers next slide. 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:37.000 So how are we gonna do that? We are delivering more equitable transportation? 00:31:37.000 --> 00:31:49.000 First and foremost, through the reduced travel. Times reliable travel along the corridor through this congestion. 00:31:49.000 --> 00:32:04.000 That's the additional we'll provide. We'll also be offering that bus transit this, and that will provide an alternative route to using your own meeting vehicle. 00:32:04.000 --> 00:32:05.000 We'll also be providing discounts for those low call. 00:32:05.000 --> 00:32:18.000 Find low income users that need to use the general purpose line and just as a reminder that H. 2 v. 00:32:18.000 --> 00:32:27.000 Lane will be 3 will also be improving recreational access to areas on this portion of State run 36. 00:32:27.000 --> 00:32:30.000 Next slide. 00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:45.000 So a little bit more about the equity program, as mentioned earlier, you're facing to have consistency across the Bay area, and utilizing existing discount programs such as by eighties. 00:32:45.000 --> 00:33:02.000 So start program where there is a 50% discount to qualifying low income individuals adding phone line, it'll be similar if you have to qualify for calfresh madam Count, you will qualify for this. 00:33:02.000 --> 00:33:17.000 We will also be working to engage with the community. The North Bay community based organizations and the general users state. 00:33:17.000 --> 00:33:26.000 Social media in the languages that work for you, and next slide. 00:33:26.000 --> 00:33:36.000 I just want to emphasize what that means in terms of travel, time savings in terms of travel, time savings. 00:33:36.000 --> 00:33:43.000 And you are just spoke to this, but we really recognize, and we heard from people time and time again that their time is valuable, that and matters. 00:33:43.000 --> 00:34:07.000 And we see this as a way of bringing back time for you to do the things that matter to you and not be stuck in traffic, so we can reduce the afternoon commute by over 50% and the morning contribute by approximately 50%, and we think this means at least 85 million in 00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:16.000 that first year of travel benefit we also recognized by me that we can improve the travel savings. 00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:26.000 While still addressing our State sustainability and being planet responsible by reducing Vmt. 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:30.000 Next slide. 00:34:30.000 --> 00:34:32.000 So here's a little bit more detail about the transit that we're proposing along the corridor. 00:34:32.000 --> 00:34:39.000 So, S. T. A. Lot of transportation, authority, and soul. 00:34:39.000 --> 00:34:40.000 Trans. Taking a lead on this development. And so this is a draft implementation plan. 00:34:40.000 --> 00:35:09.000 That information. But the image shows that we're looking to start the bus transit the Lego connecting the community of the Lego West to the bottom that stand with Bell, and that we will be connecting into mobility Hubs, where you can connect to other transit recognize the importance of park and wide 00:35:09.000 --> 00:35:34.000 lots. Where you can also access it, and then hop on transit, and then making sure that you have viable first, the last mile options, with affordable access to your final destination, lastly, we're working with compute 37 a wide share platform which helps put potential part holders together get 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:43.000 them into this HIV, getting them through for free faster. Next slide. 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:52.000 So here's an example of a potential operation. So this is showcasing weekday operations. 00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:53.000 Looking at essentially, bus, starting at 5, going to 9 Pm. 00:35:53.000 --> 00:36:10.000 With peak travel for transit every 30 min. Next slide. 00:36:10.000 --> 00:36:19.000 We also want to talk a little bit more detail about the recreational access that we've heard is meaningful to you. 00:36:19.000 --> 00:36:46.000 The Stairs Point Trail Connector, a strategic trail improvement up to 8 files, a bike pedestrian trails and would more ridership the pedestrians to use this beautiful portion of the. 00:36:46.000 --> 00:36:47.000 And then we've also heard from the city of and the broader Sta. 00:36:47.000 --> 00:37:00.000 Community, other projects, recreational enhancements that matter to you. 00:37:00.000 --> 00:37:08.000 There was a study 2020, 2019 to 2020, that identified the priority. 00:37:08.000 --> 00:37:38.000 Recreational improvements, and show me here on this map observation, and also recognize the importance of the Education Center to reach the students in delay though, and give them approved access to recreation, and they then to resilience, because even though this is a natural project there is an opportunity to bring in face 00:37:41.000 --> 00:37:51.000 X. Even now. So we're looking to do that as part of a nature based solution which you see, this is an important marsh habitat. 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:59.000 Just sell probably 37. Yeah, they're Colin in branch just west of their island. 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:16.000 So this is a quickly deleting. Now it's imported to an array of special status species, and then it also provides buffer to state, and the high tax. 00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:21.000 So it's a win with by improving that we also protect 37. 00:38:21.000 --> 00:38:33.000 And then another really important resilience project that also provide logical and transportation benefits, is addressing another root block. 00:38:33.000 --> 00:38:41.000 Technological robots. As a result of adding the very narrow channel totally. 00:38:41.000 --> 00:38:56.000 The totally currently that opening is only about 40 feet for totally freak and limited by the bridge, which is only 60. 00:38:56.000 --> 00:39:16.000 By replacing that bridge we can open up that channel, and we can review this roadblock to collect to the ecological restoration that is critical to moving forward the. 00:39:16.000 --> 00:39:25.000 We're still. So that is the resilience. Next slide. 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:29.000 And I just want to wrap up the benefit that pointing out even coming to the community, to the public over the course of many years. 00:39:29.000 --> 00:39:39.000 Now starting back to 2015 as part of our public policy committee meetings. 00:39:39.000 --> 00:39:45.000 We've been meeting with the elected officials of the county, reaching out as part of our of transportation agencies. 00:39:45.000 --> 00:39:57.000 We had focused conversations that included open houses and discussion of topics, including tolling. 00:39:57.000 --> 00:40:03.000 Hearing the public speak back, integrating that input into our project development. 00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:19.000 And then more recently, in the last several years we have conducted our sequence, default, process, and bench with the public as part of scoping and the draft environment, document, conversation. 00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:32.000 So if we look forward to talking with you, and meeting, attempted to integrate. 00:40:32.000 --> 00:40:42.000 I just want to call out a couple of the project is, in fact, 1 94. 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:51.000 So this project several times it will reduce delays. We are going to. 00:40:51.000 --> 00:41:08.000 We have a fiscally reasonable toll revenue plan, monster agencies in 2015 develop the Association document. 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:21.000 Now we move on to the plan. Specification and estimate days account delivery process where it will be developing a concept. 00:41:21.000 --> 00:41:24.000 Next slide. 00:41:24.000 --> 00:41:49.000 And as Andy introduced the Bay Area infrastructure, financing authority is the total will be the total authority approving toll rate and delivering and operating and maintaining the toll system. 00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:54.000 Which will transportation. Okay? 00:41:54.000 --> 00:42:16.000 Last week. In addition to these times that you will always be available to reach out to us and to visit, to find out more about our project in our program the Brazilian 37 account transparent site shown here has information that we update regularly. 00:42:16.000 --> 00:42:29.000 We also continue to hold policy and save up committee meetings that are open to the with that. 00:42:29.000 --> 00:42:32.000 I I like to now get up to the hearing. 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:39.000 The public comments, the instructions for how to come in are on the slide that you see for those attending in person. 00:42:39.000 --> 00:42:45.000 You will if you'd like to come in. Please go on a comment card with, Okay. 00:42:45.000 --> 00:42:50.000 What's your name is called? 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:57.000 For those of you attending virtually please use your raising hand, icon, to indicate that you missed your comment. 00:42:57.000 --> 00:43:01.000 Or if you are down again by phone press. 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:04.000 Starting 9. To raise your hand. We'll call you by name or the last few digits. 00:43:04.000 --> 00:43:14.000 Okay, phone number. It is your turn to provide your coming. I start 6. 00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:20.000 We'll be having to 1 min. 00:43:20.000 --> 00:43:28.000 I hope to see comments for all of the today. However, I do want to note the library close to 8 Am. 00:43:28.000 --> 00:43:49.000 We also continue to accept great public comment after today, if you can email comments to us like the email address on the screen, which is ctc@catc.ca, dot, com, you can also find your email address in our Fiscal billing address on our website, C H. 00:43:49.000 --> 00:43:58.000 Tc.ca.com. 00:43:58.000 --> 00:44:05.000 You start the public comment and the first name up is Joseph. 00:44:05.000 --> 00:44:22.000 Nicholson, which should be followed by my name, is Jill, I'm an engineer. 00:44:22.000 --> 00:44:29.000 One of the people that created city American Canyon. They know a lot about the business that you do. 00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:34.000 And you everybody on this board has not told me anything. I want to hear. 00:44:34.000 --> 00:44:41.000 Hey! We have no fax you ought to be ashamed of yourself where this condition is today. 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:43.000 This? Sure you're talking about there's 6 lanes where lanes you don't know what to use. 00:44:43.000 --> 00:44:51.000 Belt. Buddy, what type of road you gotta build. You don't know nothing. 00:44:51.000 --> 00:45:13.000 You haven't told me as an engineer, what you're going to do, and I take this as a personal insult and I'm gonna go over talk on the floor with State legislature and talk to our governor. 00:45:13.000 --> 00:45:25.000 People in the State that they share on the floor the permission from the they've done a lot of bills cancelled a lot of bill. 00:45:25.000 --> 00:45:45.000 Okay, yeah. Well, I don't like this 1 min. 00:45:45.000 --> 00:45:57.000 Good afternoon, Michelle. Thank you for Hello! My name is Dave Bella from the local reset resident, and I'm representing myself. 00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:04.000 I like a lot a lot of what we're seeing here, what I don't like is the idea. 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:12.000 Here. I think we really need to find another way. You won't find other toll roads per se. 00:46:12.000 --> 00:46:23.000 The Carpooler Britches. I'd rather not see a toll road at all, and there, of course, I'd like to see the interim project. 00:46:23.000 --> 00:46:34.000 Not have it unless we have a hundred percent guarantee that any work done the final project. 00:46:34.000 --> 00:46:41.000 Thank you. Excellent Ed Kelly! 00:46:41.000 --> 00:46:46.000 It's okay. Hi, everybody. My name's Ed Kelly. 00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:55.000 I'm a global resident. Okay? Sorry about that. I work at Sonoma race with. 00:46:55.000 --> 00:47:06.000 And that's first time real impacts. Yeah, participation out there, there's 100,000 people go out there and sometimes I can't gather, because 137 is just not available. 00:47:06.000 --> 00:47:13.000 So we need to maybe pick up the paste on this so hard. 00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:22.000 Thank you. Thank you. Thanks everybody. 00:47:22.000 --> 00:47:32.000 Hello! My name is, I have my life partner purchased property 5 miles west of Maryland, right? 00:47:32.000 --> 00:47:42.000 And what you call the strict marsh area. That is a over 140 on the Homestead Act. 00:47:42.000 --> 00:47:48.000 The Eastern Bay. The original highway 37, going through, cut off the access. 00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:53.000 Tuesday we purchased in the 2,003. 00:47:53.000 --> 00:48:15.000 And we are John. We are creative. My partner's master worker, if we purchased the property when he moved his shop from Sonoma to Mary Island, I work in the industry in Napa, both of us do the turnaround to next day, and I would like to know? 00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:24.000 First of all, how? What is your dispensation for private land owners that live on highways? 00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:37.000 37. I also very much. I have been coming to these meetings since they began, and I have asked to be included in the process and have our right respected, and it has been very difficult. 00:48:37.000 --> 00:48:48.000 There is absolutely nothing in your plan to preserve our rights and our access texts. 00:48:48.000 --> 00:48:51.000 It! 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:58.000 Extra, 15 strand. 00:48:58.000 --> 00:49:02.000 Hi. My name is James Stewart. 00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:13.000 And I just want to think, okay, I'm a little concerned about what the impact, adding another toll row would have on the Hello. 00:49:13.000 --> 00:49:35.000 As of now, and that was no mother. If we follow the toll model of $7 per crossing, it would add an annual cost of seventeenth a hundred $84 per driver struggling one month's rent, a significant burden, should be a simple layout the other 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:45.000 concern, that I have to take this into account is that a larger role? 00:49:45.000 --> 00:49:52.000 In my last point, that I consider all closer to Sears, actually part. 00:49:52.000 --> 00:50:05.000 It's really okay, okay, that everybody under commission takes right integration. And. 00:50:05.000 --> 00:50:14.000 Thank you. Next up is Paula Connor Connolly, followed by Joe. 00:50:14.000 --> 00:50:20.000 Hello! I used to call. 00:50:20.000 --> 00:50:28.000 And web servers have kicked this camp for decades, telling us now this huge expense. 00:50:28.000 --> 00:50:35.000 Magic polling plan completely out of touch. You point out lower income, county. 00:50:35.000 --> 00:50:50.000 So for that. I suppose I don't see it makes it enough, but that much. 00:50:50.000 --> 00:51:00.000 That is absolutely again. So first, my husband and I, we spent almost $4,000 a year, costing to work every day, just to go to work. 00:51:00.000 --> 00:51:04.000 It will not east traffic. I'm on 6, 80. 00:51:04.000 --> 00:51:13.000 It takes me longer to get to work, because, get 5 people going 65, and we can't get around the peak expressed holes for 10 miles from Dublin. 00:51:13.000 --> 00:51:21.000 It's 9, 25. Is that what we're looking at down on the road sideway through 7, just to get across? This will be okay. 00:51:21.000 --> 00:51:45.000 Well, it will create ending hardship on the people who can use like gas pricing, the responsibility of government, federal, local, State to provide for our roads, not put it on the backs of the commuters who are already paying a lot Parker. 00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:47.000 Yeah. 00:51:47.000 --> 00:52:09.000 First data has no low income actor currently on any bridge under there or me, so I don't believe them about any other low income process that they're gonna come up with this call unmute, unduly impact the lowest incomes to honor residents while leaving alternate 00:52:09.000 --> 00:52:17.000 route to Sacramento and various resource from the western counties unfold we're going to have a huge traffic jam on 1 21 now every day. 00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:25.000 I, it's just this plan. So back this. What may be here has trotted out a Mayor Island plan. 00:52:25.000 --> 00:52:36.000 And okay, for 40 years or 40 years. I mean, I just can't believe how you guys. 00:52:36.000 --> 00:52:50.000 And so anyway, like you have to say, you tax support for working people with no financial impacts on either wealthy employers or the community that have refused to build adequate, affordable house. 00:52:50.000 --> 00:52:54.000 Thank you. Thank you. 00:52:54.000 --> 00:52:59.000 Correct James, partner. 00:52:59.000 --> 00:53:12.000 Equity. Twice in the video, twice in Commissioner Watson's presentation improvements are widely 137. 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:23.000 On the they were done without any tolls. Okay? So no one has to pay tolls for their improvements on their side of the road. 00:53:23.000 --> 00:53:37.000 Never breathing area and slow portion. That's when you come into the so for all of us, a lot of but we're paid for the brain work. 00:53:37.000 --> 00:53:48.000 Only this outside has pulled the poor side. Yeah, yeah, 40% of the vote in 2 years for your video, 28%. 00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:54.000 Or of color. Per your video. Oh, wait! We're pay the wetlands restoration. 00:53:54.000 --> 00:54:03.000 Oh, hell! No! You take that for other buttons that's not coming from my fault. 00:54:03.000 --> 00:54:15.000 Thank you very much. 00:54:15.000 --> 00:54:23.000 James Bernard is up next. 00:54:23.000 --> 00:54:25.000 Call me Skype. 4 State bridges run east and west. 00:54:25.000 --> 00:54:36.000 Racial measure. Treatment races the tulsa, 8 by 8 bucks to subsidize trade that goes north, south. 00:54:36.000 --> 00:54:40.000 Mark extensions to San Diego are cars. They keep screwing. 00:54:40.000 --> 00:54:43.000 The people that go east and west to subsidize north and south. 00:54:43.000 --> 00:54:51.000 Now? How many people in this room know that they've lost a hundred 5 million dollars? 00:54:51.000 --> 00:55:03.000 You guys aware of that 105 million dollars gambling on derivatives there's another 180 million dollars uncollected tolls and files. 00:55:03.000 --> 00:55:07.000 What are these guys doing to collect it? What are they doing? 00:55:07.000 --> 00:55:09.000 I'm trying to get you guys to pick more money. 00:55:09.000 --> 00:55:13.000 Get okay, these guys were in the toll-free. 00:55:13.000 --> 00:55:23.000 They are completely in effectual. All you wanna do is keep screwing a working manner tolls are going up in 2025, 8 blocks. 00:55:23.000 --> 00:55:30.000 You're gonna have to turn 25 to prosper. 00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:39.000 You're paying that now. Sure, Mike. 00:55:39.000 --> 00:55:42.000 Right. 00:55:42.000 --> 00:55:46.000 Good evening. I just wanna say, first of all, my name is Anne Carr. 00:55:46.000 --> 00:55:53.000 I'm a resident of California born and raised here, have lived in South as well. 00:55:53.000 --> 00:56:04.000 1 min is completely inadequate for getting needed, which I thought I saw in the slides is the important part of what you guys call quote equity. 00:56:04.000 --> 00:56:14.000 This project we obviously need the better pro. It's going from the Salona County to Moran and Cinema. 00:56:14.000 --> 00:56:22.000 However, what we get out of this for most travelers and commuters is one lane that's going to be more expensive. 00:56:22.000 --> 00:56:38.000 Secondly, if by if you impose a toll on this road, you basically want because to get out of the way home, we will then have 3 of the 4 major ways out of town have to be toll roads. 00:56:38.000 --> 00:56:43.000 So it's an undue burden in terms of layout relative to really the entire Bay area. 00:56:43.000 --> 00:56:48.000 So this project really needs to be reworked with respect to the toll. 00:56:48.000 --> 00:56:55.000 With respect to the engineering, it does not make sense to build a road that could be underwater. 00:56:55.000 --> 00:57:02.000 If you're going to invest in something, do an elevated road, because an underwater road is going to be flooded. 00:57:02.000 --> 00:57:26.000 And like, I say, 1 min is, and we put out so much. 00:57:26.000 --> 00:57:47.000 This was check. We have absentee plan reports. We cater to them rather than to the residents of the city of the lake, and we penalize the people of Malaya with a toll in any department, partly all directions. 00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:56.000 This isn't a prison. This is a community, and meanwhile there's flooding on 101! 00:57:56.000 --> 00:58:03.000 During this last winter? Are we planning on Jackson, or tolling one on one? 00:58:03.000 --> 00:58:10.000 Portions because of flooding. No, I don't think so any there's gonna be a lot of other things that are gonna be underwater. 00:58:10.000 --> 00:58:25.000 And you need to start respected people and a minute to let people speak is, and in terms of the outreach you need to preach out. 00:58:25.000 --> 00:58:34.000 Do a better. I participated in these dynamics. I'm not, and not quite yet. 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:46.000 No no state, for. 00:58:46.000 --> 00:58:55.000 , yeah. 00:58:55.000 --> 00:59:16.000 Thank you, Steve Martin Lutheran. We agreed that so also to be really for users up and down the. 00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:22.000 We think also a significant. 00:59:22.000 --> 00:59:32.000 Okay. Similar to the way, okay. Great. 00:59:32.000 --> 00:59:38.000 Actually. 00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:44.000 Okay, 100%. Yes. 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:49.000 So! 00:59:49.000 --> 00:59:56.000 Getting a shift. 00:59:56.000 --> 01:00:14.000 Thank you very much. Thank you. 01:00:14.000 --> 01:00:20.000 Just wanted to save 50 years. 01:00:20.000 --> 01:00:24.000 Hi! 01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:38.000 The $7. Now you need that much super. 01:00:38.000 --> 01:00:45.000 So when I look at these polls, it's essentially a tax. 01:00:45.000 --> 01:00:56.000 Yeah, to me, it's a trillion restriction on. 01:00:56.000 --> 01:01:07.000 19 seventies, 19 eighties. I'm sure many of these agencies that are existed, that they existed in a much smaller for the. 01:01:07.000 --> 01:01:11.000 And so I have a big problem with the bureaucrat. 01:01:11.000 --> 01:01:19.000 And okay, orientations like that call trains text in there. 01:01:19.000 --> 01:01:36.000 Just administrative black holes going into administrators, offices, 1 billion dollars extra of high prices. 01:01:36.000 --> 01:01:44.000 To. 01:01:44.000 --> 01:01:45.000 Okay. 01:01:45.000 --> 01:01:50.000 Okay, that's see if I'm looking to statistics for country. 01:01:50.000 --> 01:01:56.000 Sure. Thank you. 01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:00.000 Our first comment will be from Cynthia Murray. 01:02:00.000 --> 01:02:08.000 Give us a moment. Here! 01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:11.000 Cynthia, please go ahead. 01:02:11.000 --> 01:02:25.000 Cynthia, Murray. I am the CEO of North Bay Leadership Council, and we are represent the leading employers in marine Sonoma and Napa counties, and are very supportive of having the highway 37 become a toll. 01:02:25.000 --> 01:02:39.000 Road, we feel that it, as it becomes a bridge. If it should be treated like other bridges, and we really want to make sure that we have a functioning highway before it goes underwater. 01:02:39.000 --> 01:02:45.000 And these improvements are critical to making sure that road can be raised and widened to meet the needs of the North Bay, and these are needs of commuters. 01:02:45.000 --> 01:02:55.000 They are the needs of our public safety people. They are the needs of our goods. 01:02:55.000 --> 01:03:00.000 Movement and their needs for recreation, and I appreciate that you're trying to build an equity. 01:03:00.000 --> 01:03:02.000 I think that's a great way to move forward, but it's absolutely essential that we have this, and we need to pay for the improvements, and we need to pay for the improvements. 01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:13.000 And we, as the employers representing over 25 employees, really want this to happen. 01:03:13.000 --> 01:03:16.000 Thank you. 01:03:16.000 --> 01:03:20.000 Thank you, Cynthia. 01:03:20.000 --> 01:03:34.000 Just one moment, please. Okay. Our next comment will be from Paul Thes Solano Sierra Club. 01:03:34.000 --> 01:03:41.000 First I need to know whether my comments can be heard. 01:03:41.000 --> 01:03:42.000 Yes. 01:03:42.000 --> 01:03:45.000 The sound quality on this end is very poor. Can they be heard by the group in the room? 01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:50.000 Yes, you can be heard. Thank you. 01:03:50.000 --> 01:03:51.000 Yeah. 01:03:51.000 --> 01:04:10.000 Okay, then let me begin by pointing out an inconsistency between the word equity and the intention to collect tools only on the side on the Solano County side misses all to said referred to. 01:04:10.000 --> 01:04:12.000 The project is extending all the way to highway 10. 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:33.000 One, and it should be considered and told as such. There's also a question in my mind about whether this is going to be a 50% discount for low income, or whether this is going to be, as Mr. 01:04:33.000 --> 01:04:41.000 From here, said, consistent with other tools that are that are collected across the Bay area. 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:49.000 Are they also going to offer a 50% discount? Lastly, I want to say that dumping more dirt on the highway now is not going to bring us a better result. 01:04:49.000 --> 01:05:02.000 Necessarily we ought to put the money into a raised structure immediately. 01:05:02.000 --> 01:05:07.000 A causeway all the way across. Thank you for listening to my concerns. 01:05:07.000 --> 01:05:15.000 Thank you very much, Paul. 01:05:15.000 --> 01:05:25.000 Okay and are next, comment will be from Joshua Lisette. 01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:26.000 Go ahead, please. 01:05:26.000 --> 01:05:30.000 According to Wikipedia, the whole of Sr. 01:05:30.000 --> 01:05:45.000 37 has been proposed to be built to freeway standards since the early 19 fiftyties, however, the proposals have been met with many economic and environmental obstacles, making the task all but impossible for much of the route we've heard a lot of economic obstacles. 01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:53.000 In tonight's feedback. If we continue the same feedback we'll never see improvements inacted. 01:05:53.000 --> 01:06:04.000 That being said that sincerely hope that any tolls enacted take into account the undo tax put on those who travel the road on a regular basis. 01:06:04.000 --> 01:06:10.000 What I'm most interested in hearing, and I think the people in this meeting would be most interested in hearing future meetings. 01:06:10.000 --> 01:06:25.000 Or what is this poundel doing to apply for some of the 65 billion dollars that we're offering for infrastructure with the bipartisan infrastructure deal on a Federal basis on a Federal level recently what are we doing to apply for those funds? 01:06:25.000 --> 01:06:32.000 And what are the progress toward application for those funds to fund this project? 01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:39.000 Thank you very much. 01:06:39.000 --> 01:06:49.000 Our next comment will be from Roland. 01:06:49.000 --> 01:06:50.000 Perfect. 01:06:50.000 --> 01:06:51.000 Thank you. I've got a very cool. I have a very quick question to the Sh. 01:06:51.000 --> 01:07:01.000 Which is, whether any consideration has been given. Hearing feedback. 01:07:01.000 --> 01:07:13.000 But the any consideration has been given to private financing for this project meet them for an operating concession, and the reason I'm asking it's because this approach often results in a superior solution. 01:07:13.000 --> 01:07:27.000 Thank you. 01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:35.000 Thank you. 01:07:35.000 --> 01:07:44.000 Our next comment will be from Joe Green, Hepherd. 01:07:44.000 --> 01:07:50.000 Yes, this is Joe Green Heffron. I'm a civil engineer, and I commute from Fairfield periodically. 01:07:50.000 --> 01:08:02.000 I'm supportive of the need for tolls to fund neglected infrastructure over the past few decades to get a sustainable facility. 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:11.000 I do think it needs to toll the entire route, and I think the importance in reducing congestion is the getting a mode shift onto HIV. 01:08:11.000 --> 01:08:19.000 You know, carpools and buses. And so the idea of toll free, for that is good. 01:08:19.000 --> 01:08:41.000 I would suggest that you report travel times, maybe at the gantry separately for the single occupancy, vehicle, lance, and the multi high occupancy vehicles, so that people understand the benefit of carpooling and buses thank you. 01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:50.000 Thank you. 01:08:50.000 --> 01:08:57.000 Okay. Our next comment is from Stevie. 01:08:57.000 --> 01:09:07.000 Hi! My name is Stevie. I am a resident of, I understand, the importance of building a bridge across the 37. 01:09:07.000 --> 01:09:14.000 However, I am disappointed to hear that it is going to be told only on the side and not at the Marin side. 01:09:14.000 --> 01:09:19.000 I feel like tolling at the Marin side. We'll capture anyone traveling from Napa. 01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:32.000 Sonoma, and and getting that money from that. I also think that you guys should be working with other agents who see other modes of public transportation. 01:09:32.000 --> 01:09:36.000 Is there a way to have the ferry go directly to San Francisco? 01:09:36.000 --> 01:09:37.000 And that sort of thing, I think, just tooling us. 01:09:37.000 --> 01:09:47.000 Is, is a little ridiculous. Thank you. 01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:52.000 Thank you. 01:09:52.000 --> 01:09:57.000 Hey? Our next comment is from Rachel Clark. 01:09:57.000 --> 01:10:06.000 Hi! My name is Rachel Clark. I work with vintage Southern B's international realty, and I I sell property in Sonoma. 01:10:06.000 --> 01:10:25.000 Napa, Marin county and Salana counties. I use highway 37 very often, and I feel it would be unfair just to charge the Salono County area I feel that it needs to be equal on both sides in Marin and Solano County and actually I think everybody we're going to do 01:10:25.000 --> 01:10:26.000 tolls. I think everybody should be paying their part, and I also am interested in the environmental impact report. 01:10:26.000 --> 01:10:32.000 If there is one people there that are speaking in person. 01:10:32.000 --> 01:10:38.000 If you could turn up the volume. That would be fantastic. 01:10:38.000 --> 01:10:51.000 Sorry about my picture there with me and my father. But thank you so much for holding this forum, and I'd like to be in touch for future forums. 01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:52.000 Thank you. 01:10:52.000 --> 01:11:00.000 Thank you. 01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:08.000 Okay. Our next comment is from Al. 01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:10.000 Hello! Can everyone hear me? 01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:11.000 Yes. 01:11:11.000 --> 01:11:20.000 Hello! So I'd like to thank the everyone who showed up today and also putting together this, this informational hearing. 01:11:20.000 --> 01:11:23.000 So why don't we have a why don't? 01:11:23.000 --> 01:11:29.000 Why isn't the State or Vallejo issue some bonds instead of for investment, instead of having tolls like? 01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:33.000 Hey? Okay. 01:11:33.000 --> 01:11:39.000 I don't understand. Like why does and why is Valeo the only one that's gonna have to pay a toll that's not really fair to everyone else. 01:11:39.000 --> 01:11:45.000 If everyone is gonna pay across the board, that's more fair. 01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:51.000 But even then, why couldn't we issue some bonds instead of putting a toll? 01:11:51.000 --> 01:11:52.000 And how much are these tolls are gonna cost right? 01:11:52.000 --> 01:12:00.000 Like everyone's upset about the tolls, but they haven't even told us how much the tolls are going to cost. 01:12:00.000 --> 01:12:15.000 And then, yeah. And then also, how come? We don't have better like public transportation if we had better public transportation in Vallejo and in the surrounding cities, like, for instance, my mother is disabled right. 01:12:15.000 --> 01:12:22.000 So she is unable to get from Vallejo to what's it called American Canyon or American Canyon. 01:12:22.000 --> 01:12:27.000 Thank you very much, and all your time is up. 01:12:27.000 --> 01:12:28.000 Thank you. Thank you all. We appreciate it. Thank you. 01:12:28.000 --> 01:12:35.000 No, but it's the same thing right. And then you can't go to Valeo, to Fairfield. 01:12:35.000 --> 01:12:45.000 Okay. Our next comment is from Jian. 01:12:45.000 --> 01:12:46.000 Yeah, I'm just curious on what's the toll gonna be? 01:12:46.000 --> 01:12:49.000 Yeah. 01:12:49.000 --> 01:12:53.000 What's the total costs gonna be, Hello! 01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:56.000 Yes, thank you very much. Is that your comment? 01:12:56.000 --> 01:12:58.000 Yeah, what's it to? How much the total that mean? 01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:04.000 Oh, if it could be reasonable like right now, because every tool is higher now, so and that's it. 01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:05.000 That's the only question I have. 01:13:05.000 --> 01:13:12.000 Okay. Thank you very much. 01:13:12.000 --> 01:13:13.000 Okay, that is our final raised hand from the webinar. 01:13:13.000 --> 01:13:22.000 At this time. 01:13:22.000 --> 01:13:23.000 Well, actually sorry we just we have one more. If you'd like to take that now. 01:13:23.000 --> 01:13:30.000 Rachel, thanks very much. 01:13:30.000 --> 01:13:44.000 Okay. Our next comment will be from Betty, Ruth. 01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.000 Betty, Ruth, if you'd like to go ahead, please. 01:13:46.000 --> 01:14:01.000 Yes, I'm disabled, and I can't get around anywhere in with a with the situation. 01:14:01.000 --> 01:14:02.000 Okay. 01:14:02.000 --> 01:14:10.000 It's very difficult to move around. 01:14:10.000 --> 01:14:30.000 Okay, thank you very much for your comment. 01:14:30.000 --> 01:14:31.000 Yes, it is. Thank you. 01:14:31.000 --> 01:14:40.000 Education. 01:14:40.000 --> 01:14:48.000 So we're going to give you a so we're gonna start with first off a Jake Rattshaw. 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:54.000 Like share public but my day job is to check it. 01:14:54.000 --> 01:15:09.000 Direct the Northal partnership, which has 3 7,040 min Webinar out there in the field. And I want to comment on a couple of things. I know we're gonna get a report back. But I have questions. 01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:13.000 Yeah, and she's gonna come back up. Answer some of the stuff. 01:15:13.000 --> 01:15:14.000 But I will say, embrace it before that. The only one. 01:15:14.000 --> 01:15:29.000 With question of the burden on working class folks. I will share with the personal side 2,021 my wife and I proudly called, and my wife is still a computer. 01:15:29.000 --> 01:15:38.000 Now from Oakland to Nevada, but the issue, when you look at it, the secret anyone here, you book that commute in the morning. 01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:43.000 It's service folks. It's construction work. Actually, I know, you said a high percentage. 01:15:43.000 --> 01:15:46.000 I'd also like to know where exactly it's data from. 01:15:46.000 --> 01:16:00.000 How are you getting exactly this over time? Understood low income. But when you look at the Yes. 01:16:00.000 --> 01:16:06.000 Actually, yeah, try to find the Commissioner to whatever today. So help I'm just making a point. 01:16:06.000 --> 01:16:13.000 I don't know I don't disagree, and so I was trying to wrap it it's no worries. 01:16:13.000 --> 01:16:24.000 It's a time limit. I like to hear folks happy to talk you further as well, but I'm highly concerned about birthplace on on working class folks. 01:16:24.000 --> 01:16:25.000 So they're gonna carry the burden for this infrastructure. 01:16:25.000 --> 01:16:32.000 Also, some very important questions came up about, what is the plan? 01:16:32.000 --> 01:16:38.000 Where it's going to interact private property, and how that works. 01:16:38.000 --> 01:16:41.000 So they get a lot of detail on the product on that. 01:16:41.000 --> 01:16:48.000 Also the public tonight, if we look at this interim clinical project, is it towards the long term project? 01:16:48.000 --> 01:16:52.000 We'll be like starting all over again. Complementary to that. 01:16:52.000 --> 01:16:59.000 And again I want strongly share my opinion. The burden cannot be carried bye. 01:16:59.000 --> 01:17:01.000 One of the last working class accounts in Northern California. 01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:13.000 I don't believe workers and folks who are struggling, creating the housing crisis which really been in child care for working one portable. 01:17:13.000 --> 01:17:19.000 And so we look at these projects and social impacts. It's broad, ranging. 01:17:19.000 --> 01:17:21.000 And these are questions that needs to be answered, and I could go on and on. 01:17:21.000 --> 01:17:31.000 But I want to expect the crew here. I may have some work full of, but also what is the level? 01:17:31.000 --> 01:17:35.000 If I catch it, talk about it! Compared it to other bridges I will save my personal payment on this. 01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:41.000 It'll be gas tax if they translate it for a flat port tax. 01:17:41.000 --> 01:17:46.000 The rich bulls. Also. Okay. We definitely have to look at. 01:17:46.000 --> 01:17:49.000 Low income. What does that mean? We don't want March. 01:17:49.000 --> 01:17:57.000 Wise folks at all communities, the commuters, because they housing prices. 01:17:57.000 --> 01:18:00.000 You're starting to tip over from the costs. 01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:18.000 Everything costs except so I just want to raise those points. 01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:30.000 Yeah. 01:18:30.000 --> 01:18:35.000 Thank you for that look. We do appreciate all the information that we're giving you. 01:18:35.000 --> 01:18:46.000 First is I did wanna respond? To maybe one or 2 of the questions when we say similar to what we're talking about is the 7 or $8 toll. 01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:51.000 Both directions would be half of that. So it's one trip in. 01:18:51.000 --> 01:19:00.000 That's it. Right? Yeah, we do have an equity program that we've stood up on the expressway about 50%. 01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:03.000 Discount, for? 01:19:03.000 --> 01:19:21.000 That's typed appropriate. 01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:33.000 Just to go to work every day. 01:19:33.000 --> 01:19:38.000 So we're gonna wrap up. You're taking a stack of tickets. 01:19:38.000 --> 01:19:56.000 We're going to address this. 01:19:56.000 --> 01:20:10.000 And they need. Okay, is already there for the final. On the screen. 01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:20.000 So one of the challenges we have for the We are here to listen. 01:20:20.000 --> 01:20:29.000 Some of the things we can do Commissioner Brett, we have additional commissioners on the line. 01:20:29.000 --> 01:20:34.000 Additional information they would like to share about what they've heard. 01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:40.000 I can share with her one of the things that happens next. 01:20:40.000 --> 01:20:46.000 We don't simply go back to the Commission in May and say, Well, we that's great right. 01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:50.000 What would you do with me? We summarize our information. 01:20:50.000 --> 01:21:00.000 We go back to that page. Okay, is it correct? 01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:06.000 That's the office. This is already. 01:21:06.000 --> 01:21:12.000 Is that true? Okay. 01:21:12.000 --> 01:21:16.000 That's not true. 01:21:16.000 --> 01:21:30.000 With this idea. 01:21:30.000 --> 01:21:38.000 So through the checks. And for the clarity question, that because I think it's a Tale of 2 Cities in some lights. 01:21:38.000 --> 01:21:43.000 And then, if you look at economics and equity, one thing I want to put Mpc. 01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:50.000 We look at the level of a overall general generalized too much. 01:21:50.000 --> 01:22:05.000 But the quote website, how is that being taken? Consideration? Again, it's not, I think things get carved up and put in, little boxes being under served. 01:22:05.000 --> 01:22:11.000 What's working class, middle class? 01:22:11.000 --> 01:22:14.000 You know, that needs to be taken into consideration what's the burden of it? 01:22:14.000 --> 01:22:19.000 You know, it's gonna fall on folks, because again, maybe I'm close to it. 01:22:19.000 --> 01:22:25.000 Look at the later on time, but you can see the crushing impact on it. 01:22:25.000 --> 01:22:30.000 So this should be, and those right who need to pay their fair share. 01:22:30.000 --> 01:22:34.000 It should be based on what you're carrying already some level. 01:22:34.000 --> 01:22:39.000 There has to be some kind of way to. I'm not. I don't understand how the rates are set. 01:22:39.000 --> 01:22:45.000 I come at the for low income folks on the toll links. I don't even know. 01:22:45.000 --> 01:22:48.000 Maybe I should. I apologize how that is alright! 01:22:48.000 --> 01:22:52.000 What is the data we use for that? How is that track? 01:22:52.000 --> 01:23:04.000 You know, qualify. So if you think that are gonna have to be answered for this Commissioner to make that informed decision. 01:23:04.000 --> 01:23:08.000 So! 01:23:08.000 --> 01:23:18.000 The question is, there's a it's on. 01:23:18.000 --> 01:23:36.000 Oh, wait for you! 01:23:36.000 --> 01:23:55.000 So the long distance runs 101! And are we gonna have some sort of smart metering program and someone that's going to say serious point. 01:23:55.000 --> 01:24:03.000 From here. It's not paying it full, of course. 01:24:03.000 --> 01:24:16.000 Or vice versa for first situation, in other words, it should be told how much I haven't. 01:24:16.000 --> 01:24:25.000 My dad. It's a hundred 3 years old. 01:24:25.000 --> 01:24:41.000 I'm good. Going a short distance over. Sears Point, and then going back into, and that should be the same total all the way and it's saving. 01:24:41.000 --> 01:24:51.000 And what has, and the outreach? Yes, awe! 01:24:51.000 --> 01:24:57.000 Thank you people. I know that I participate in the Zoom Meetings, and I've voiced our concerns for the people, for their economic situation. 01:24:57.000 --> 01:25:13.000 They live here because of that economic situation, and they are penalized only almost every direction is over that has to be. 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:24.000 So sorry. Any additional comments if we could do it. 01:25:24.000 --> 01:25:28.000 Yes, feel free, to press. 01:25:28.000 --> 01:25:34.000 Thank you. Good opportunity to respond to some of the questions. 01:25:34.000 --> 01:25:40.000 Jeanette wise, so I guess I'd like to start off with. 01:25:40.000 --> 01:25:41.000 How do you qualify for the discount would be using the existing standard such as that iad start program and who how do you qualify for the low income? Discount? 01:25:41.000 --> 01:25:54.000 We'd be using the existing standard such as that. I, 80 start program and clipper start. 01:25:54.000 --> 01:25:59.000 So what I mean by that the current standard is 200% of the poverty level. 01:25:59.000 --> 01:26:01.000 So for a that would amount to, I believe, currently 60,000. 01:26:01.000 --> 01:26:17.000 So that's a, and see what other questions in terms of reaching out to residents who live on the corridor for and consideration getting their access. 01:26:17.000 --> 01:26:40.000 Those details are issues that we need to work out as part of that concept of operations, to figure out the implications on people. 01:26:40.000 --> 01:27:01.000 Determined to work through in terms of the access along the western portion of the corridor, and the full statement of the corridor is the full statement of the folding of the building. 01:27:01.000 --> 01:27:04.000 I'll like to say that the big vision for tolling is to be tolling and collecting toll from us. 01:27:04.000 --> 01:27:11.000 Currently, I just want to clarify right now, we have this particular project that we can work off of. 01:27:11.000 --> 01:27:12.000 And I can't toll, or outside of this project. 01:27:12.000 --> 01:27:20.000 I think it is something that we need to continue to work into. 01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:21.000 So that is something we will continue to engage with the public. 01:27:21.000 --> 01:27:29.000 What is the public opportunities? Next steps we will continue to meet with you and take comment. 01:27:29.000 --> 01:27:58.000 I know, with Hc. To replicate, takes comment on this toll facility application. But we also were made available above, beyond that, as part of our project and program. And however ways that we proceed trying to think if there's anything else that needed to be answered more immediately. 01:27:58.000 --> 01:28:28.000 You go, leave it there, happy to answer questions. Okay, if there's any additional comics of the comic. 01:28:43.000 --> 01:28:51.000 Alright, and you're at first. 01:28:51.000 --> 01:29:02.000 So like, I said at the beginning, 1 min is completely for any kind of meaningful community engagement. 01:29:02.000 --> 01:29:08.000 And I speak to someone who speaks the city council often within a 3 min limit, which is itself impressed. 01:29:08.000 --> 01:29:13.000 There's so important issues that did not come out in my first comments. 01:29:13.000 --> 01:29:21.000 First of all, I believe I heard that about half of the improvements that are needed on 37. 01:29:21.000 --> 01:29:25.000 So, if that's the case, why are we looking at? 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:30.000 Tolling. This should have come again underneath the regular maintenance of of the event. 01:29:30.000 --> 01:29:37.000 Right. Another thing is, I believe I heard someone say that by 20 fifth. 01:29:37.000 --> 01:29:42.000 So again, we need to be looking at longer term plans of investments. 01:29:42.000 --> 01:29:47.000 We don't want to be putting money in now that we didn't have to pay for it later. 01:29:47.000 --> 01:29:52.000 The transportation strategy of having the extra money devoted to public transportation. 01:29:52.000 --> 01:30:16.000 HIV and car companies is completely, I believe, unbidden that you've got a source and a a beginning and an end zone that are distributed so you do not have a concentration, a of targets, so that your first and last miles are convenient and 01:30:16.000 --> 01:30:39.000 workable. And finally, in looking at the pie chart you have for funding, it looks like you can only have maybe 20% of the funding identified which is inadequate for going forward with the project of this schedule. 01:30:39.000 --> 01:30:51.000 Give it a try. Half of the investments are for things like transit, public access and improvements like that. 01:30:51.000 --> 01:30:58.000 There is some of that investment that's associated with just. 01:30:58.000 --> 01:31:11.000 But that's coming from State sources. In addition, the improvements that we're making in this particular project that totally Creat are designed by us quite a bit. 01:31:11.000 --> 01:31:17.000 Okay. So the investments are important for the midterm time period. 01:31:17.000 --> 01:31:28.000 Ultimately, we're gonna be back with some much for significant investment. 01:31:28.000 --> 01:31:37.000 Licenses. Thank you. So next up we have glacier . 01:31:37.000 --> 01:31:44.000 So, the comment that I wrote down on the card is what I've been saying all along. 01:31:44.000 --> 01:31:54.000 I've raised it. 01:31:54.000 --> 01:32:09.000 Ways that the road is built and watching all of the ways that they've been trying to continue to continue to keep that instead of trying to turn it into a big road. 01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:13.000 But it will never be a big it was filled with dirt. 01:32:13.000 --> 01:32:19.000 You need to be building a causeway further out, a big modern causeway, such as we deserve in the State of California. 01:32:19.000 --> 01:32:30.000 And leave the old road as a small frontage road for recreational and private vendor access. 01:32:30.000 --> 01:32:32.000 I mean, I just don't see what you guys are trying to do here. 01:32:32.000 --> 01:32:42.000 It's thinking my father was a and I just and having I just a minute. 01:32:42.000 --> 01:33:03.000 I? Yes, so I keep trying to talk to you guys. 01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:12.000 Okay. Hello, in the Texas for Bay Area, with the troubles. 01:33:12.000 --> 01:33:31.000 That's a good idea to have too late. So I don't want interrupts it, because it does take some time like 2 h to close the and that, and also it's not nice to have the toll, but sometimes the dialogue remote on this 37 size as 01:33:31.000 --> 01:33:47.000 a E-pace cyber, also in a barrier for 7 is several others, so people just use it as a common room for distance like drops off the school to go to the grocery stores, and it just use it as a river road. 01:33:47.000 --> 01:34:04.000 Text, that row so there's no other room. So you're just sitting in neighborhood in your neighborhood. 01:34:04.000 --> 01:34:07.000 Okay. 01:34:07.000 --> 01:34:13.000 Our next comment will be from Al. 01:34:13.000 --> 01:34:14.000 Hello! Can everyone hear me? 01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:16.000 Yes. 01:34:16.000 --> 01:34:20.000 Okay. I wanted to address what I was asking before I said that. 01:34:20.000 --> 01:34:27.000 So what are the plans for like for people with disabilities like your paratransit? 01:34:27.000 --> 01:34:31.000 How can they get from 1 point to another, especially going to Marin? 01:34:31.000 --> 01:34:39.000 You have, you have Fairfield para transit. You have Napa Paratransit, and you have Lao pair transit. 01:34:39.000 --> 01:34:40.000 They don't enter, and you even have American American canyon. 01:34:40.000 --> 01:34:49.000 That's run with by what's it called by Napa? 01:34:49.000 --> 01:34:52.000 None of them talk to each other so you can't get from 1 point to another what what kind of things are they gonna do for people that are disabled? 01:34:52.000 --> 01:35:00.000 That need parent transit. I feel like we just need better public transportation, especially for your disabled patrons. 01:35:00.000 --> 01:35:16.000 And also, what about a syntax? Has there been any like proposal, or looked at for bonds like issuing a bond to pay for this instead of a toll like? 01:35:16.000 --> 01:35:21.000 That's my time. Thank you. And I appreciate everyone's time. There. 01:35:21.000 --> 01:35:32.000 Thank you very much. 01:35:32.000 --> 01:35:33.000 One moment, please. 01:35:33.000 --> 01:35:35.000 Thank you, Eric, to go to on. My yeah. 01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:46.000 Okay. Our next comment will be from Pauli Solano Sierra Club. 01:35:46.000 --> 01:36:09.000 Something more dirt on the existing roadway does not to raise it a foot or 2 does not solve the existing problem of blockage of this vast wetland in to the north, except at the extreme west and east ends of this project in another 5 or 10 years. 01:36:09.000 --> 01:36:17.000 When sea level raises more the cheapest thing to do will be simply to dump more dirt. 01:36:17.000 --> 01:36:41.000 Oh, that's why we need to raise the road now, using the best solution available, which is a race cause way, and allowing free passage of water through to the marshlands which protects against sea level rise itself. 01:36:41.000 --> 01:36:48.000 Thank you very much, Paul. 01:36:48.000 --> 01:36:53.000 Okay, that's our final comment. For right now from the webinar. 01:36:53.000 --> 01:36:56.000 Okay, thank you so much. We don't have any additional. 01:36:56.000 --> 01:37:05.000 Kind of cards at the moment, so I think that concludes our thank you for your it's been great. 01:37:05.000 --> 01:37:23.000 These comics
