DATE: August 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Fire – Approval – Res. 22-__, Confirming Weed and Rubbish Abatement Charges for 2022.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Res. 22-

2. 2022 Weed Abatement Contractor Charges

3. 2022 Weed Abatement Charges Assessed

4. Authorization Letter

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to confirm abatement charges for 2022 as listed in Attachment 3, authorize staff to remove names from the adopted list if payment is received prior to submittal to the Fresno County Auditor’s Office, to modify changes as needed due to an appeal hearing conducted through the proper procedures, and authorize payment of the contractor charges as listed in Attachment 2.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Weed Abatement Posting Notices were mailed out to 261 property owners in April 2022. Of those Notices, 57 cases were created, and ultimately the City of Clovis contracted with Mark Newton to clean 48 of those properties. Attachment 3 lists those properties that were cleaned and the cost of cleanup plus the administrative fee not included, and the property owners that have already paid their fees.

Before the weed abatement charges can be submitted to the County Auditor Controller for collection, the charges must be confirmed by the City Council in resolution form.

BACKGROUND
The Weed and Rubbish Abatement Program has proven to be an effective tool in reducing open land fires, controlling possible habitats for rodents and insects, and maintaining property values throughout Clovis.
36 AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.

The Fire Department incorporates weed and rubbish abatement into its Fire Prevention Bureau, providing the opportunities to stop many small fires and reduce the potential for larger ones. In addition, abatement is instrumental in decreasing calls for service, so units are available for higher priority calls. Properties are surveyed and hazards identified for removal, the result of which is a much cleaner, safer environment for our citizens.

The weed abatement process started in April 2022 with the first letters being sent to the property owners of large vacant parcels. Additional letters were mailed to properties where staff received specific complaints from citizens. These letters were mailed between April and June requesting abatement within a specified time frame according to Clovis Municipal Code.

Continuous inspections were performed throughout June and July 2022. If abatement had not been accomplished within the specified date for a particular parcel, work orders were prepared and forwarded to the City's private contractor for action.

The below average rains for the year increased the number of complaints regarding dry and dead vegetation, with many of the complaints not requiring fire intervention. With continued infill development, hazardous conditions within the City limits have been significantly reduced.

Breakdown of cleanup:

Properties identified for abatement: 261
Properties cleaned by City Contractors: 26
Property owners who had their properties abated by the City have until 4:00 p.m. on August 29, 2022, to appeal the costs of abatement to the City Manager. After an administrative hearing conducted by the City Manager or his designee, the charges could be approved, modified, or disallowed, all based on the evidence presented.

FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of abatement plus a $300.00 administrative fee has been billed directly to the property owner. If the cost is not paid to the City by July 29, 2022, the cost is recovered through billing on the owner’s property tax statement through the County of Fresno.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Before the weed abatement charges can be submitted to the County Auditor Controller for collection, the charges must be confirmed by the City Council in resolution form.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL

1. The City Clerk will forward a list of all assessments not paid by July 29, 2021, to the County Auditor-Controller for collection by tax lien.

2. A check will be issued to Mark Newton for services rendered as the City’s weed and rubbish abatement contractor.
37 AGENDA ITEM NO. 8.

3. A signed authorization from the Fire Chief will be submitted to the Fresno County AuditorController authorizing the names and titles of those persons who can add, delete, or change any special assessments (Attachment 4).

RECOMMENDATION
Reject the General Liability Claim filed on behalf of Melanie Villagomez.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
On behalf of Melanie Villagomez (claimant), the City received a general liability claim on July 5, 2022, alleging the City of Clovis and other named government agencies failed to use care and diligence for the claimant’s safe carriage and failed to ensure that the school bus was safe and hazard free. The claim alleges that Ms. Villagomez sustained injuries to her body and seeks compensation. It is recommended that the City reject the claim at this time, send notice of rejection, and send a memorandum to the attorney stating the City had no involvement with the Clovis Unified School District bus.

BACKGROUND
On July 5, 2022, a general liability claim was received by the City of Clovis on behalf of Melanie Villagomez by B&D Law Group in Los Angeles. The claim was considered legally sufficient and timely. The claim alleges Ms. Villagomez was injured while traveling on the school bus as a passenger, which the bus was subsequently involved in a motor vehicle accident. The claim further states the City and other government agencies failed to ensure safe carriage and maintain a hazard free environment while the bus was in operation, in breach of California Civil Code § 2100.

The claimant seeks damages for injuries to the body, head, back and knee. The claim has been filed as a “civil unlimited case”.

FISCAL IMPACT
Rejection of the claim does not result in any fiscal impact.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
A rejection notice letter will be sent to the claimant informing her that the claim has been rejected.

RECOMMENDATION
For the City Council to approve Resolution 22-___, A resolution of the Clovis City Council supporting the Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
After several months of work by two committees with broad representation across Fresno County, the Fresno County Council of Governments (COG) and the Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) have approved an expenditure plan that places significant emphasis on repairing and improving local roads. Staff is in receipt of a request from the FCTA to have the current Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan approved by resolution by the City Council. The attached FCTA staff report from July 20, 2022 (Attachment 2), provides detailed information relative to the funding allocations included in the plan. Staff actively participated in the development of the plan and recommends approval of the resolution supporting the expenditure plan.

FISCAL IMPACT
The Measure C ½ cent sales tax measure has provided much needed revenues within Fresno County by improving transportation facilities that facilitate the efficient movement of people and goods within and through the region. The continued flow of Measure C revenue for transportation projects, though not nearly sufficient to fund the maintenance and road construction need, is an essential tool allowing the leveraging of other funding sources that require matching funds. 80 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.

Without the Measure C funding, the ability of the City to provide meaningful maintenance and capture other funding would be severely impaired. The current expenditure plan will provide over $500 million in direct transportation funding to the City of Clovis over the 30-year extension. In addition, there are significant regional State Highway projects included in the regional tier 1 project list that are within the limits of Clovis and will benefit Clovis residents and visitors.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
The expenditure plan approved by the COG board and the FCTA was developed in collaboration with other agencies and represents the general consensus of the diverse committees that were commissioned to shape it. The program allocation is based on a well-reasoned and objective approach that addresses the unfunded needs in an equitable fashion throughout the County and provides significant and needed local funding with emphasis on repairing roads.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The Measure C extension is scheduled for consideration by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors on August 9, 2022, to be placed on the November 8, 2022, ballot.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Fresno County Transportation Authority
FROM: Mike Leonardo, Executive Director
DATE: July 20, 2022
SUBJECT: Adoption of the Fresno Council of Governments Approved Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan and Implementing Guidelines
_______________________________________________________________________ RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 2022-08, adopting the Fresno Council of Governments (COG) approved Expenditure Plan and Implementing Guidelines BACKGROUND DISCUSSION: On August 7, 2019, the Fresno County Transportation Authority (FCTA) Board authorized staff to begin the process of seeking to renew Measure C with a target of placing the Measure on the November 2022 ballot. Included in this authorization was direction to establish an Executive Committee (EC) and a Technical Working Group (TWG) to develop a draft expenditure plan for presentation to the FCTA Board for final approval.

Staff began contacting the various public and private sector organizations to ask for volunteers to join these two committees. With rare exception, staff did not contact specific individuals but worked though agencies and organizations to identify who would serve on the two committees.

In March of 2020, the COVID epidemic hit the United States. Threat of exposure precluded FCTA and Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG) staff from scheduling meetings of these committees for approximately 11 months. During that time period society adapted to meeting in a virtual environment and as a result, the first meetings of these two groups were held virtually in January and February of 2021.

Simultaneous with this effort, the Fresno COG was in the process of updating and adopting their Regional Transportation Plan and Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The RTP/SCS is the 20- year transportation planning document for Fresno County, while Measure C is part of how the RTP/SCS plan is implemented. As a result, the RTP/SCS became the framework for Measure C renewal.

The two committees spent much of their early meetings discussing membership and listening to background information about the Original Measure C adopted in 1986, the Measure C Extension adopted in 2006, and developing guiding principles for a potential third measure (MC3). Membership and process discussions consumed much of the committees’ time in the initial months, particularly within the EC.

Attachment 2 84
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.

FCTA Special Board Meeting
July 20, 2022

Page 2 of 5 ends

Fresno COG held a number of community meetings where the RTP/SCS was discussed, and public input sought over a year’s time. Measure C staff and consultants participated in these RTP meetings with discussions about what the public viewed as the highest priorities for a renewed Measure C.

In March of 2021, FCTA staff commissioned a public opinion poll to determine what County residents thought were the most pressing transportation issues, and whether or not they would support a second extension of Measure C. The results of that poll were shared with the FCTA Board and the two committees. The polling indicated very high support for renewing Measure C (80%), and that fixing local roads was clearly the highest priority, also at 80%.

In October 2021, FCTA conducted a series of in-person and online public forums specific to Measure C renewal. Staff made short presentations while the majority of the time was spent listening to members of the public discuss what they thought were the highest priorities for a third Measure C.

Simultaneously, FCTA also launched an online survey for the purpose of gathering similar data. To date staff has received 2,804 responses with very similar results. FCTA staff and consultants also conducted in person door to door contacts with residents in Cantua Creek, Lenare, Tranquility, Orange Cove, Parlier, Kerman, Mendota, Caruthers, Coalinga, Del Rey, Five Points, Huron, Sanger, Kingsburg, and San Joaquin. Approximately 1,070 surveys were completed by Spanish speakers. The public meetings, online surveys, and in-person contacts all conveyed the same basic messages as the polling; fixing roads was the number one priority.

Beginning with the needs assessment performed by Fresno COG through the RTP/SCS process, staff began drafting alternative proposals for Measure C 3 funding. Four alternatives were initially presented to the TWG. Of these four, two had a significant level of support within the TWG. These two alternatives were later refined by the TWG.

During this process FCTA and Fresno COG staff also met with representatives from Fresno County, the City of Fresno and the City of Clovis to discuss the framework of the preferred alternatives the TWG was considering. While by no means diminishing the importance of the small cities, it was felt that Fresno, Clovis, and Fresno County support of a proposed plan was critical in order to obtain its eventual endorsement by both the TWG and EC. Based upon these meetings, modifications were made to the preferred alternative then being considered by the TWG. These modifications increased the Transit and Local Control subprograms. Specifically, the increase in the Local Control Program was intended to allow each agency to best tailor their Measure C expenditures to their unique and specific needs. This flexibility was especially critical for the City of Fresno who wanted to use some of their Local Control Program money to further increase funds dedicated to public transit.

The TWG considered and approved this allocation plan by a substantial majority. This approved plan was then sent to the EC for their consideration.

The EC also considered and approved the plan as submitted by the TWG. During this consideration and approval process, a second series of public meetings were conducted to once again listen to people’s concerns about transportation in Fresno County. A second opinion poll was also conducted resulting in nearly identical results from the first poll.

FCTA Special Board Meeting
July 20, 2022

Page 3 of 5 ends

Once the EC adopted the draft allocation plan, staff used the proposed allocation plan as adopted by the EC and TWG, to develop a detailed draft Expenditure Plan and a set of Implementing Guidelines. The Expenditure Plan was posted for public review on May 27, 2022, and the Implementing Guidelines were posted about a week later. Staff received a number of written and verbal comments on the plan and guidelines. Many of the suggested revisions were incorporated while some were not. Comments not included in the plan tended to be in conflict with the allocation plan adopted by the EC and TWG. The public comment period closed on June -27, 2022 and a final draft revision of the draft plan and guidelines was posted on June 29, 2022.

The plan was to be presented to the Fresno Council of Governments Policy Board for their approval, which was then to be followed by presentation to the FCTA Board for their proposed adoption. Fresno COG was scheduled to consider the plan on June 30, 2022 with FCTA following on July 20. The June 30, 2022 meeting of Fresno COG was ultimately cancelled due to technical difficulties and was rescheduled for July 7, 2022.

CITY OF FRESNO PROPOSAL
In mid-June, FCTA and Fresno COG staff made a presentation to the Fresno City Council on the EC/TWG approved plan. Shortly after that presentation, staff was made aware that the City of Fresno would not support the EC/TWG Plan as currently written. Through a series of meetings, the last one held on the morning of June 30, 2022 – a few hours before Fresno COG was to consider adoption of the EC/TWG plan – FCTA and Fresno COG staff agreed that the substantially revised proposal submitted by the City (that morning) had merit as it closely followed the EC/TWG plan with a few minor revisions. These revisions included:

1. Allowing sidewalk repairs to be funded through the Local Neighborhood and Street Repair and Maintenance Program (Street Repair Program)

2. Revising the distribution of these street repairs funds from 75% population – 25% road miles to 80% -- 20% (later revised to 78% -- 22%)

3. Revise the distribution of the Local Control Program funds to 100% population based

4. Establish an annual $100,000 minimum allocation within the Street Repair Program for each of the 16 agencies in Fresno County

5. Change a few of the projects included in the City of Fresno’s portion of the Tier 1 Major Roads and Highway Program

6. Limit Urban Transit Oriented Development (TOD) funding to certain high-density and transit corridor requirements

7. Include local hiring preference language
The end result of these changes was that each of the 15 cities in Fresno County would get slightly more funding (approximately 5% to 20% with the smallest cities experiencing the largest percentage increase) while Fresno County would receive about $187 million less over the life of the Measure.

After considerable public and Board discussion, the Fresno COG Policy Board approved the EC/TWG plan as modified by the City of Fresno.

On July 12, 2022, the Fresno County Board of Supervisors also considered the plan adopted by Fresno COG. All Board members expressed concern with the lower Fresno County allocation and with the lastminute changes requested by the City of Fresno; however, after much discussion the Board adopted the plan as previously approved by Fresno COG.

APPROVED PLAN
With these approvals in place, it is now incumbent on the FCTA Board to consider adoption of the plan approved by the Fresno COG Policy Board. A full copy of both the Expenditure Plan and Implementing Guidelines are included in this Board package. In summary, the approved plan provides total projected revenue over 30 years of $6,835,044,756 or approximately $7 Billion.

In addition, the other changes proposed by the City of Fresno were incorporated into the Expenditure Plan and Implementing Guidelines except for the revised TOD criteria, which must still be developed by Fresno, Clovis, and Fresno COG staff. This revised criterial will be included in the Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) to be developed. Specific language on local hiring preferences will also need to be developed and included in the SIP.

CONCLUSION:

The overall transportation needs in Fresno County exceed the revenues that can be generated through a ½ cent sales tax. However, this plan makes substantial progress towards meeting a high percentage of these needs. Specifically, this plan will:
 Allow the entire county to fix potholes and repair streets, reaching an average Pavement Condition Index of 70, which is within the “Good” category, thus reducing future maintenance costs, decreasing user costs, improving safety for vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians, and improving air quality
 Dedicates funds to disadvantaged communities and areas, including a $100,000 minimum allocation, which will help the smaller cities in the County, and dedication of no less than 30% of the street repair funds to disadvantaged areas
 Provides over $1 billion in Local Control sub program funding so that each agency can best meet their transportation needs. This could include additional road repairs, enhanced transit funding, additional Active transportation projects, or any other eligible transportation facility or service  Provides over $800 million to the three transit agencies in Fresno County; an increase of 180% over the current transit allocation
 In conjunction with other identified funding sources, meets 95% of the overall active transportation need established through the 2022 RTP/SCS process  Helps address safety issues and congestion choke points on the urban and rural highways and major road systems
 Dedicates $144 million specifically for environmental enhancements beyond those specifically included in the other subprograms
 Collectively will improve pavement, improve safety, reduce congestion, improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with the RTP/SCS This plan will be beneficial for Fresno County as a whole and good for each and every city within Fresno County.

4 Introduction
The Fresno County Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan was prepared to:

Guide the expenditure of slightly more
than $6.84 billion in transportation
funds generated through continuation of
Fresno County’s half-cent transportation
sales tax over the next 30 years,
if approved by voters in the
November 2022 election.

Fresno County’s current Measure C Program,
voter approved in 2006, expires in June 2027.

This Renewal Expenditure Plan, developed
by an Executive Committee and a Technical
Working Group (TWG) consisting of
approximate 80 individuals representing
diverse community interests (as identified
in Table 1 of this Plan), and local, state and
regional agencies, will address major local
and regional transportation needs in Fresno
County through the Year 2057.

Through a series of public meetings, two public
opinion polls, and thousands of online and inperson surveys, the Executive Committee and TWG thoroughly considered needs identified
by community residents during development
of the Plan. To ensure the Plan addressed
transportation needs of all county residents,
the Committees completed the following tasks:
• Reviewed Measure programs recently passed
in other counties (best practices review).
• Listened to presentations by air quality and
transportation advocates and agencies.
• Considered recommendations
of transportation professionals.
• Heard innovative ideas related to
new technologies in transportation.
• Developed Expenditure
Plan Goals and Objectives.
• Considered public input.
• Reviewed and considered the entire
County’s transportation needs by category.
92 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
5 Overview
The Measure C
Renewal Program
Figure 1 provides an overview of the proposed
Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan funding
allocations approved by the Executive Committee
and the TWG. Referencing Figure 1, the
allocations consider a “multimodal”
transportation program with:
• 51.37% of expected Measure funds directed
to “Fix-It-First” Local and Neighborhood
Street Repair and Maintenance activities
and programs.
• Eighteen percent (17.64%) of the funds
directed to the Local Control program. The
16 local agencies (cities and the County) in
Fresno County will allocate these funds to
their highest priority unique transportation
needs including additional local street and
highway maintenance and other street and
road improvements, pedestrian, trail, and
bicycle facilities improvements, safe routes
to school improvements, enhanced public
transit services, and other transportation
services and programs.
• Twelve percent (11.88%) of the Measure
funding allocated directly to Urban and
Rural Public Transit systems and services
throughout the County including Fresno
Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, and
the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency
(FCRTA).
• One percent (1.22%) of the Measure will be
allocated to the Safe Bikes and Pedestrians
program (including Safe Routes to School &
Access for People with Disabilities) to address
improvements and safety enhancements for
bicyclists and pedestrians, including students,
seniors and people with disabilities, as well as
other related improvements.
93 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
6 • Fifteen percent (14.60%) of the Measure
will be directed toward Major Roads
and Highways, Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief projects in the Urban
(Clovis and Fresno Spheres of Influence) and
Rural (remaining County and rural cities)
areas. Such projects will be located along the
State Highway System and along regional
corridors to enhance connections within
the urban area and between the cities and
rural communities throughout the County.
• Two percent (2.00%) of the funds are
available for projects that enhance
Environmental Sustainability including
clean transportation projects and programs,
transit-oriented development projects, and
other projects that will improve air quality,
address climate change and improve health.
• Finally, one and one quarter percent
(1.25%) of the Measure will address
program Administration and
planning activities of the Fresno County
Transportation Authority (Authority)
and the Fresno Council of Governments
(Fresno COG) over the 30-year period.

7 Public
Engagement
Public engagement activities for the Measure
C Renewal Expenditure Plan began with the
formation of the Executive Committee and
TWG in February of 2021. Over 80 local leaders
volunteered to participate as representatives of
diverse sectors of Fresno County from both urban
and rural communities. These leaders brought
unique perspectives from various sectors of our
community including healthcare, education, local
government, emergency services, transportation
planning and facilities experts, environmental
organizations, public works, law enforcement,
fire and paramedic, agriculture, community based
organizations, and more. Over the 16-month
Measure C Renewal Process period, a total of 37
meetings were held between these two committees
with the focus on identifying and evaluating
transportation needs throughout Fresno County.

In addition to these two committees, community
engagement remained a key focus to gain clarity
and common ground. To that end, 10,000 Fresno
County residents participated in community
polling and outreach via the following methods:
• Public Polling
• In-Person
Workshops
• Community Group
Meetings
• Door-to-Door
Inquiries
• Events
• Virtual meetings
via Zoom
• Online Public
Survey
In total, fourteen (14) community
meetings were held in both rural and
urban settings. Additionally, with COVID
concerns still prevalent, an Online Public
survey was utilized that garnered 2,804
total survey respondents, as well as 2,000
additional comments.

The online survey also focused on rural and
unincorporated areas by employing a doorto-door campaign. That effort produced 1,070 mostly Spanish respondents in the following
communities: Cantua Creek, Lenare, Tranquility,
Orange Cove, Parlier, Kerman, Mendota,
Caruthers, Coalinga, Del Rey, Five Points,
Huron, Sanger, Kingsburg, and San Joaquin.

Members of the Executive Committee and the
TWG are listed on the Measure C Renewal
webpage at this link:
www.measurec.com/
measure-c-committees
Two-thirds (67%) voter approval will be necessary
to pass Measure C in November 2022. In order
to ensure that Executive Committee and TWG
members were on target with this Expenditure
Plan, over 3,000 voters and community residents
were surveyed early in the Plan development
process to determine support for an extension of
the Measure, and to identify the public’s highest
transportation priorities. An additional 3,000
voters were again surveyed in the spring of 2022
to confirm support for proposed expenditures.
95 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
8 Both polling efforts expressed widespread
support for continuation of Measure Cand
identified residents’ highest transportation
priorities. The Measure C Renewal Plan effort
was guided by development of the Fresno COG
2022 Regional Transportation Plan/Sustainable
Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS). The RTP/
SCS is intended to guide transportation and
land use decisions that will improve our
quality of life, air quality, mobility and make
communities more cohesive. The RTP/SCS is
updated every four years and has a robust outreach
and stakeholder involvement process including
numerous committee meetings, public workshops
and hearings, public surveys and polling, and
other engagement opportunities. The RTP/SCS
integrates all modes of transportation along with
land use, housing, environmental issues, reduction
of vehicle miles travelled, and other related issues.

The RTP/SCS is one of the critical building blocks
that has helped guide development of the 2022
Measure C Renewal effort and identify needs and
funding requirements.

Goals and
Guiding
Principles
Considering the public engagement activities
conducted over the past 16 months, the
Executive Committee and TWG adopted the
following set of goals and objectives to help
guide development of this Expenditure Plan:

Goal #1
Equitable mobility and accessibility for all
within and across the network of streets,
highways, transit, bicycle and pedestrian
routes and facilities.

Objectives
• Encourage equitable participation by
communities in the Measure C planning
and implementation process.
• Support the equitable distribution of benefits
and burdens of transportation projects.
• Support the improvement and expansion of
accessible transportation options to serve
the needs of residents, especially those who
have historically faced disproportionate
transportation burdens, including seniors
and people with disabilities.

Goal #2
Vibrant communities that are accessible
by sustainable transportation options.

Objectives
• Encourage alternatives to single occupancy
vehicles that reduce vehicle miles travelled
(VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Support investment in and promotion of active
transportation and transit to improve public
health and mobility, especially in historically
underinvested areas.
• Support transportation projects that
support transit-oriented development.
96 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
9 • Support efforts to improve air quality and
minimize pollutants from transportation.

Goal #3
A safe, dependable, well-maintained, efficient,
cost effective, and climate-resilient multimodal
transportation network.

Objectives
• Encourage on-going maintenance and
repair of the existing infrastructure.
• Support investment in multimodal safety
measures to reduce traffic fatalities and
injuries throughout the region.
• Support improvements in travel connections
to create an integrated, accessible, and
seamless transportation network.
• Avoid congestion through smart management
of existing transportation facilities.
• Add capacity only after other options have
been considered and determined to be
infeasible, impractical or ineffective.
• Maximize the cost-effectiveness
of transportation improvements.
• Maximize available funding and support
new investments that are targeted, effective,
and financially sound.
• Encourage investments that increase the
system’s resilience to extreme weather events,
natural disasters, subsidence, and pandemics.
• Support the preservation and maintenance
of existing multimodal transportation assets
in a state of good repair.
• Utilize Measure funding to leverage other
local, state, and federal funds, including
competitive grant programs.
• Ensure that growth does not adversely
impact existing facilities.

Goal #4
A transportation network that supports a
sustainable and vibrant economy.

Objectives
• Support local and regional economic
development by leveraging planning and
transportation funds that foster public and
private investment.
• Provide transportation mobility options
necessary to conduct essential daily activities
and support economic growth and prosperity.
• Support modern regional aviation.
• Embrace cutting edge and fiscally responsible
transportation and new technologies that serve
to interconnect systems and that make travel
more efficient and cost effective.
• Support efficient, dependable, resilient,
and sustainable goods movement.
97 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
10 Goal #5
A region embracing clean transportation,
technology, and innovation.

Objectives
• Support innovative mobility solutions that
are accessible, affordable, reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and improve air quality.
• Utilize current and emerging technologies
to better manage transportation systems
and services.
• Improve predictability and reliability
of transportation facilities and services.
• Embrace new and emerging intelligent
transportation system (ITS) projects
and programs.

Goal #6
A high level of transparency, performance
review, and accountability.

Objectives
• Provide for continuous collection of
transportation and other related data
from available sources.
• Incorporate transportation performance
measures, whenever possible.
• Encourage innovation with a goal of providing
cost effective transportation solutions.

Guided by the Executive Committee and TWG,
staff further distilled these goals and objectives
into five guiding principles that were then used
to guide the development of the Allocation Plan:

Stewardship
• Fix it First.
• County-wide Pavement Management Plan.
• Oversight and Performance Measures, and
Equity—“No Neighborhood Left Behind.”
Equity
• Investment in active transportation and
public transit to improve health and mobility
throughout the County including historically
underinvested areas.
• Improve air quality throughout the County,
especially in historically disadvantaged areas.
• Ensure all areas of the County have their
road repair needs addressed with emphasis
on areas not previously addressed—
“No Neighborhood Left Behind.”
• Provide local jobs and access
to training opportunities.
• Supplemental road repair funds
for very low-income areas.
• Expand new and innovative public
transit services and solutions.

Sustainability and Resources
Conservation
• Maintaining and operating transportation
facilities are much less resource intensive
than rebuilding.
98 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
11 • Focus on maximizing the safety and
efficiency of the transportation systems,
not on system expansion.
• Roads, highways, and their adjacent
sidewalks are necessary for every type
of transportation—cars, trucks, buses,
bicycles, and pedestrians.
• Electric vehicles will still
rely on roads and highways.
• Provide for Complete Streets and roads that
accommodate vehicles, bikes, public transit
and pedestrians.

Air Quality and Climate Resiliency
• All projects require environmental
review and must address air quality and
greenhouse gas emission reductions.
• Well-maintained pavements reduce
particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5,
which are the primary pollutants
referenced in the most recent air
quality study.
• Congestion reduction and avoidance through
better operations reduces tailpipe emissions
of pollutants, diesel exhaust particular matter
and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Reduce vehicle miles travelled (VMT)
through Public Transit, Active Transportation,
and road and highway projects.
• Harden transportation facilities to increase
systems’ resiliency to extreme weather events.
• Expand new and innovative public
transit services and solutions.

Flexibility
• Expanded Local Needs program allows
real time and long-term flexibility—
allows agencies to best address their current
transportation needs and changing future
needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Allows each agency to tailor the
program to their specific needs.
• Allows agencies to maximize the
use of matching fund programs.
• The amendment process contained within
the current measure and to be continued
in this measure allows adaptability.
• 15-year publicly driven process to evaluate
the success or shortcomings of the Measure
Renewal with a process to change or adapt,
as necessary.
• In depth review of performance measures
every 5 years by agency staff and the Citizen
Oversight Committee (COC) with the
ability to amend the Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan if key indicators are not met.

Meeting the needs of Fresno County residents
requires leveraging State and federal investments
with local resources. Even with a new Measure C
here will not be enough funding available to
address almost $16 billion in transportation
needs. The Measure C Extension will generate
more than $6.84 billion over the next 30 years,
far short of the overall need, therefore, leveraging
additional federal and State funding, beyond
what the region expects, is critical.
99 AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
12 Success of
the Current
Measure C
Program
Many changes to the existing transportation
system have occurred since voters first approved
Measure C in 1986 and again in 2006. The
current Measure C Program has provided
funding to a variety of transportation projects
and services including bike, pedestrian and
trail projects, public transit improvements,
and other transportation programs and
services. New and improved regional and
local streets and highways are also reflected
in the current Measure C and have been or
will be constructed by 2027 improving travel
flow, increasing safety, and reducing severe
congestion. These improvements include:
• State Route (SR) 41: Auxiliary Lane—
Tulare to “O” Street
• SR 99: North to Cedar Avenues
• SR 99: Monterey Bridge
• SR 180 East: Clovis to Temperance Avenues
• SR 180: Brawley to Hughes/West Avenues
• SR180, SR 41, and SR 168 Braided Ramps
• Willow Avenue, Temperance, Ventura,
California, Peach, Herndon, and Shaw Avenues
• Veteran’s Boulevard—Shaw to Barstow
and Bullard to Herndon Avenues
• SR 99: Veteran’s Boulevard Interchange
• SR 180 West: Yuba to James
Avenues Passing Lanes
• SR 180 East: Temperance to Academy Avenues
• SR 180 East: Academy Avenue
to Trimmer Springs Road
• SR 180 East: Trimmer Springs
Road to Frankwood Avenue
• Friant Road: Copper Avenue
to Millerton Road
• Golden State Boulevard: American
Avenue to the Tulare County Line
• SR 269: New Bridge/Channel
between SR 198 and City of Huron
• SR 180 West: SR 180 to I-5
• Mountain View Avenue: Bethel
Avenue to the Tulare County Line
• Academy Avenue: Manning
Avenue to Industrial Park
• SR 99 and American Avenue Interchange
• I-5 and SR 198 Interchange
• Funding for public transit services including
Fresno Area Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, &
the Fresno County Rural Transit Agency
• Improvements to local streets and
roads, bikeway and trails systems,
and pedestrian facilities
100
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
13 Promises Made and Promises Kept of the
1986 and 2006 Measure C programs are
evident by the overwhelming voter approval
in Fresno County. In addition to the vast array
of transportation improvements provided
by these two Measures, they have given
Fresno County the opportunity to compete
successfully for additional State and Federal
transportation funding.

The Authority, Fresno COG, the 16 local agencies
and the three transit agencies have all successfully
leveraged more than $1 billion additional dollars
from Sacramento and Washington D.C Extending
Measure C will continue to provide local funds
under local control, in order to leverage and direct
additional state and federal funding to the County.

Annual Audit of
Measure Programs
Current Measure C expenditures and accounts of
the local agencies and the Authority are audited
on an annual basis by an independent audit firm
retained by the Authority. Over the past 34 years,
audit results have indicated that the Measure C
Program has been implemented, and proceeds
expended, in accordance with the Measure C
Expenditure Plan and enabling legislation.

That practice will continue with this Measure C
Renewal Program. Further, through the Citizens
Oversight Committee and the Authority, additional
performance indicators will be monitored
throughout the new Measure in order to assure
that funds are invested efficiently and effectively.

How the Plan
was Developed
The Measure C Renewal Executive
Committee and the TWG were formed
in February 2021 to develop the Measure
C Renewal Expenditure Plan. The TWG
evaluated existing transportation systems
and needs, and the Executive Committee
established goals for the future. There was
recognition that this Measure C Renewal
Plan needed to address the existing and
future transportation needs, focusing on
local neighborhoods and community street
and road maintenance, as well as continuing
investments in bicycle and pedestrian
facilities, transit services, and reducing
and avoiding congestion on our highways.

This Plan has built-in flexibility that will
allow our cities and County to adapt to their
specific transportation needs as they change
over time. This Plan recognizes transportation
programs that maintain and improve our
quality of life and position us to provide the
type of facilities and services that will be
needed to address our future mobility needs.

Members of the Executive Committee:
reviewed a variety of proposals,
considered public input and professional
expertise, conducted two public opinion
polls, and reviewed data and literature
from other agencies to prepare this Plan.

15 Expected
Measure C
Proceeds
If voters approve the Extension of Measure C
in November of 2022, they will authorize
the Authority to continue to collect a ½ cent
retail transaction and use tax for 30 years
(between July 1, 2027 and June 30, 2057).

This is not a new or an added tax, but simply
an Extension of the existing Measure C tax.

This extension will: provide over
$6.84 billion in new revenues
for transportation improvements
according to financial projections
through the year 2057.

The $6.84 billion this third Measure will
generate is four and one-half times the amount
that is expected to be collected during the
current Measure C Program (approximately
$1.2 to $1.5 billion) through June 2027.

The allocation of these projected sales tax
revenues to specific types of transportation
funding programs and improvement projects is
described in the following sections of this plan.

The Authority will prepare and then update
a Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) every
two (2) years in order to verify or modify
the funding expectations based on the thencurrent fiscal conditions, making sure that the projections are consistent with future
expenditures and the promises made in this
plan. The Authority and Fresno COG will
also revisit this expenditure plan in 2042
(midpoint of the Measure) to potentially
adjust the transportation programs and
associated allocations of Measure C proceeds
ensuring that the plan addresses the future
transportation needs of the county and
its residents as determined through a
comprehensive public engagement process.

Finally, the Authority will have the option of
issuing bonds to deliver Measure C projects
and programs contained in this plan to save
project costs by delivering them earlier, and to
provide Fresno County residents with muchneeded road repairs years sooner than would be possible without bonding.

County-wide
Priorities of
the New Plan
Through many months of intense discussion and
public input, the following Measure C Extension
funding program commitments were developed
and agreed upon by the Executive Committee
and the TWG. The Committees recognized
that providing Measure C funds for all modes
of transportation would help meet the quality
of life needs of all Fresno County residents,
thus enabling each of the 16 agencies within
the County to address the specific needs
of their residents, businesses, and major
industries over the 30-year life of the Measure.

16 The new Plan will: Provide a minimum
of 51.37% of the Measure to the 15 cities
and Fresno County to maintain and
improve neighborhood and community
streets and roads. Further, it will fund
public transit, regional highways, street
and road improvements, and other
transportation programs that improve
mobility while reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and improving air quality for
all residents throughout Fresno County.

The Plan is committed to “Fix-it First”,
“No Neighborhood Left Behind” and
“Improve Safety” principles.

The Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
program allocations are detailed in Table 2.

Implementing Guidelines for each of the
seven Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
programs are available on the Authority’s
website in early June 2022 at:

AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
17 Local and
Neighborhood
Street Repair and
Maintenance
$3.511 billion or 51.37%
A significant increase in funding for our local
street networks including neighborhood streets
is clearly the greatest need expressed during the
public engagement process and in the two opinion
surveys. In fact, nearly 81% of those surveyed
county-wide strongly agreed that repairing roads
and fixing potholes was their highest priority.

The goal of this program is to improve each of the
individual cities’ and the County’s unincorporated
areas and communities pavement condition index
or PCI from the current County-wide average of
57 (just above the “Poor” category) to 70, which
is within the “Good” category. Improvements that
will be made by the 15 cities and Fresno County to
address the goal include:
• Fixing potholes with long lasting repairs.
• Repaving streets.
• Keeping good roads in good condition
through the strategic application of
preventative maintenance strategies.
• Ensuring that all neighbors, especially
those in disadvantaged areas, see
improvements to their local roads.
• Measuring and monitoring
progress towards the 70 PCI goal.
• Providing additional resources
to areas of very low income.

These expenditures would address one of the
most troubling transportation problems for
local agencies; how to fund improvements that
address the aging street and road infrastructure
while at the same time preserving roads that are
currently in good condition.

A minimum base of $100,000 per year shall
be allocated to each agency under the Local &
Neighborhood Street Repair & Maintenance
Program. Every agency that receives Local
Street Repair Program funding must allocate
no less than 30% of their allocation, as
determined on a 5-year rolling average,
on areas within their jurisdiction that are
disadvantaged using the highest 25% census
tracks based on CalEnviro Screen 4.0 and
areas with a median income of less than 80%
of the statewide median. Restriction remains
in effect until the Agency's average PCI for
the Disadvantaged Areas reaches 65. Once the
average PCI of 65 is met, that 30% restriction
is suspended, as long as those areas do not fall
below a PCI of 65 in subsequent years. Agencies
must still continue to invest in those areas in
order to raise the overall PCI to 70.

When the overall PCI of the streets within a
jurisdiction either exceeds 80, or the lowest PCI
on any street within the jurisdiction is 70 or
higher, Local and Neighborhood Street Repair and
Maintenance program funds in excess of what is
needed to maintain street condition above a PCI of
70 may be utilized as Local Control program funds.
1 105
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
18 Local Control
$1.209 billion or 17.64%
This program provides the local agencies
flexible funding to address their most pressing
unfunded or underfunded transportation needs
within their jurisdictions. These funds would
be used for a variety of purposes including:
• Repair sidewalks to create safe routes
to school and increase accessibility
for people with disabilities.
• Supplement Active Transportation
(bike, pedestrian and trails systems) projects.
• Further improve public transit services.
• Eliminate bottlenecks on local streets where
road improvements are not complete.
• Address environmental sustainability and other
important transportation improvements.

The local agencies in Fresno County know
what their needs are and how best to address
those needs. This plan empowers them to
make these critical choices for their residents
and businesses.

Implementation of Opportunity Corridors is an
eligible expense within the Measure C Renewal
Local Control Program. In addition, certain
elements of Opportunity Corridors may also be
eligible within the Urban and Rural Transit, Safe
Bikes and Pedestrians, Major Roads and Highways,
and Environment Sustainability Programs.

Urban and Rural
Public Transit
$812 million or 11.88%
The goal is to improve public transit programs that
provide essential mobility services to residents
who do not have options, and for people who
may have access to a vehicle but prefer to utilize
transit; improve air quality, reduce greenhouse
gas emissions, and help avoid congestion.

Transit provides essential services to those
who have no or limited options. This plan
will allow for reduced transit fares for seniors,
students, veterans and people with disabilities.

It is critical that we ensure the most flexible,
reliable, predictable, and affordable transit
services are available for the transit dependent.

Measure C Renewal funding is provided to the
three (3) transit agencies within the county
(Fresno Area Express, Clovis Transit, and the
Fresno County Rural Transit Agency). The
transit agencies would use the funds to:
• Add routes as demand increases.
• Reduced transit fares for seniors, students,
veterans and people with disabilities.
• Acquire low or zero emission buses.
• Provide night and weekend
service as demand dictates.
• Provide safe, clean, and strategically
located bus shelters.
• Provide safer access to public transit services.
2 3
106
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
19 The transit agencies would also
apply the Measure funds to provide:
• “Free or reduced fare bus service” to seniors,
students, and people with disabilities.
• Provide new and innovative mobility for
seniors, students, and people with disabilities.
• Implement innovative lower cost transit
solutions for un-served or under-served areas.
• “Subsidized taxi scrip” to seniors
(65 years or older) and people with
disabilities resulting in better service to
those with special transportation needs and
the growing aging population in Fresno County.

Transit funding is a significant part of the state
and federal transportation funding programs.

This has been an established trend that is
increasing over time. Measure C funding
should be utilized to the largest extent
possible to leverage these funding sources.

Safe Bikes and
Pedestrians
Including Safe Routes To
School and Access For
People With Disabilities
$75.5 million or 1.22%
Improvements to the existing and planned
pedestrian, trail, bicycle and Safe Routes to
School systems have gained prominence around
the State and within Fresno County. There are
significant opportunities for funding these types
of projects using state and federal funds.

In addition, as with the current Measure, all
streets funded by Measure C must have
shoulders that accommodate bike lanes. With a
few exceptions, these types of projects are very
low cost when compared to vehicular projects.

Measure C funding in this program should be
utilized to the largest extent possible to enhance
safety, increase availability and leverage these
State and Federal funding sources.

Major Road and
Highways, Safety
Improvement And
Congestion Relief
$997.7 million or 14.60%
The core of the urban and suburban freeway
and expressway system has been completed,
and many improvements to rural highways
have been accomplished during the 1986 and
2006 Measure programs.

Future improvements to the State Highway
System need to be focused on:
• Improving safety.
• Reducing and avoiding future congestion.
• Increasing sustainability.
• Focusing on multimodal operational
improvements such as auxiliary lanes,
freeway interchange improvements,
metering projects, demand management,
and Smart Corridor concepts that maximize
capacity of existing facilities.
4 5
107
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
20 These projects provide for the movement of
goods, services, and people throughout the
county, as well as accommodating goods
movement from Fresno County industries to
the rest of the State and the nation. Because
this proposed Measure has a duration of 30
years, the Executive Committee and the TWG
agreed to identify a 15-year improvement
program, with the second 15 years to be
addressed near the midpoint of the Measure.

This second 15-year plan will be developed
after an evaluation of future needs as well as
an extensive public engagement process.

Major highlights of this Regional Program include:
• Approximately $998 million or 14.60% for
regionally significant street and highway
improvements has been divided between
the Urban and Rural areas of the county
with approximately $749 million or 75% to
the urban areas of Fresno and Clovis and
approximately $249 million or 25%, to the
remainder of the county (other cities and the
county unincorporated area). This funding
split generally reflects the relative populations
and needs of the urban and rural area.
• $35 million will be invested in improvements
to Fresno Yosemite International (FYI) Airport.

This program relies heavily on leveraged
funding from various sources including the
State Transportation Improvement Program,
the State Highway Operations and Protection
Program, the State Local Partnership Program,
federal grants, and the Regional Transportation
Mitigation Fee Program (RTMF). Overall, it
is anticipated that these programs will add
another $1.5 billion in funding to the nearly
$1 billion of Measure C funding included in
this Measure. Further, it is expected that there
will also be some Local Development Fees
included on some of these projects.

The RTMF requires that new growth and
development within the county and each of the
cities contribute to regional street and highway
project costs. The RTMF program was originally
established during the current Measure C
program and will be continued under this
Measure. The purpose of this RTMF Program
is to ensure that growth and development
pay their fair share of impacts to the county’s
transportation facilities. The RTMF is discussed
in more detail later in this Plan.

Environmental
Sustainability
$144 million or 2.00%
This program’s goal is to improve air quality
and greenhouse gas emissions by:
• Reducing Vehicle Miles Traveled though support
of Transit Oriented Development (TOD) and
Opportunity Corridors (OC). TOD projects
help support developments that will increase
demand for transit though higher density and
mixed use. OC projects also support higher
density and mixed-use developments through
conversion of existing auto-centric streets into
multimodal streetscapes.
6 108
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
21 • Clean Energy.
• Travel Choice.
• Future Technologies.
• Litter Abatement.
• Opportunity Corridors.

Rather than identify a specific amount for each of
these subprograms for the life of the Measure, this
Renewal Expenditure Plan will allow the FCTA
Board to make that determination every two (2)
years as a part of the Measure C Expenditure
Plan Update. For the initial two years of the
Environmental Sustainability Program the split
between these subprograms will be:

Subprogram Percent of Funding
1 Transit Oriented Development and Opportunity Corridors 0.66% 2 Clean Energy 0.32%
3 New Technology Projects 0.59%
4 Travel Choice 0.29%
5 Litter Abatement 0.15%
Total 2%

22 Administration/
Planning
$86.06 million or 1.30%
Measure C funding is provided to
the Authority and Fresno COG to:
• Prepare Expenditure Plan
updates and amendments.
• Develop and administer allocation
program requirements.
• Administer and conduct specified activities
identified in the other six programs described
above including increased oversight and
performance monitoring.

Compliance with the
California Environmental
Quality Act
The Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan is not
a “project” under the California Environmental
Quality Act (CEQA) and, therefore, is exempt
from CEQA review. The Plan is designed to
provide a funding mechanism for potential future
projects and programs related to the Authority’s
provision of transportation funding and services.

However, the Authority is not approving the
construction of any projects that may result
in a direct or indirect physical change in the
environment; future voter approval is required
prior to establishing any funding mechanism as
set forth in Measure C Enabling Legislation; and
all appropriate state and federal environmental
reviews will be required and completed prior
to any future approval of specific projects.

Measure C
Extension
Plan Projects
Project Commitments
Major Road & Highways,
Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief Program
Urban and Rural Programs
This section identifies priority regional streets and
highway improvement projects to be implemented
over the life of the Measure C Renewal Program.

These projects will be funded with Measure C
and other transportation funding. Major Road &
Highways, Safety Improvement and Congestion
Relief Program (MR&H) projects are defined
as those of regional significance. These projects
tend to be on the State highway system, as those
facilities are regional by nature; however MR&H
Program projects can also include projects on
major local arterials that serve more than one city
or area of the county.
7 110
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
23 Fresno Yosemite Airport (FYI) is also included
as a regional facility as it facilitates passenger
and freight travel throughout the county as
well as surrounding counties.

Because the duration of this Measure is 30
years, the MR&H Program has been split into
two periods; years 1–15, and years 16–30.

This program split provides a number of
specific benefits:
• It is difficult to determine a comprehensive
list of all regional transportation needs 30+
years into the future. This split approach
allows a focus on the first 15 years in order
to establish a firm need, and a second 15
years that can be flexible.
• It is equally difficult to project 30+ years
of revenue. The program split will allow
the Authority and Fresno COG to more
accurately predict the first 15 years of
revenue and will initiate a “real time”
assessment of the second 15 years of
funding availability in 2041 for review
and acceptance in 2042.
• Transportation innovations have tended to
occur at the micro level rather than at the
macro. However, macro changes are possible
and may be likely. A mid-program review will
allow the Authority and Fresno COG, guided
by an extensive public engagement effort and
input from the 16 local agencies, to adjust
the list of projects for the second 15 years to
better reflect future transportation needs.

The funding projections for the
Measure are provided in Table 3.

24 The funding split between the urban and rural
subprograms was based on population, and on
the relative highway, street, and road needs of
those areas as described in the Table.

This Expenditure Plan contains Tier 1 Urban
and Rural Project lists for the County (reference
Tables 4 and 5). The Tier 1 projects are included
in the initial 15 years of the Measure C Renewal
program while the Tier 2 lists are projects
potentially eligible for funding in the second
15 years of the Measure C Renewal program.

Tier 1 Urban and Rural lists are both committed
by approximately 20%. This allows the most
significant priorities for the urban and rural
areas to begin the project delivery process
during the first 15-year period.

It is possible that additional as yet unidentified
funding may become available. The region
should have projects “shovel-ready” to
take advantage of these types of funding
opportunities. Should additional funding not
materialize, these projects would be eligible
for bonding of second period revenues.

A live link to the Measure C Projects
interactive map is provided below or head to:
https://bit.ly/measurecrenewal-interactive-map.

View Map
Tier 1 projects are shown in Figures 2 and 3.

Tier 2 Project Lists can be found in Tables 6
and 7. The Tier 2 lists provide priority projects
that will be considered for Measure C Renewal
along with other state, federal and local
funding in the second half of the Measure
(years 16–30). The Tier 2 total costs currently
exceed anticipated funding in the second half
of the Measure; and may be revised to reflect
future project priorities as they are identified
through the RTP/SCS planning process and
through the Authority’s and Fresno COG’s
public engagement process.

The Expenditure Plan also contains $35
million for improvements at FYI Airport.

Fresno COG and the Authority will conduct
biennial MR&H Program reviews and
updates, the purpose of which will be to
ascertain project delivery status as well as
validity of funding availability. Adjustments to
delivery schedules and funding contributions
may be necessary as a part of these updates.

No later than June 30, 2027, Fresno COG and
the Authority will identify projects from the Tier
1 lists for the first seven years of the Measure
C Renewal Program. These projects will be
selected based on relative priority, deliverability,
and cash flow. No later than June 30, 2034,
Fresno COG and the Authority will identify
projects from the Tier 1 lists for years 7–15 of the
Measure C Renewal programs; again, based on
relative priorities, deliverability, and cash flow.
112
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
25 Beginning no later than 2041, Fresno
COG and the Authority will conduct a
comprehensive public engagement process
to help guide the effort to establish the list of
projects to be funded during the second half
of the Measure. No later than 2042, Fresno
COG and the Authority will adopt a list of
Urban and Rural projects to be funded
during the second half of the Measure.

Construction of the Major Road and Highway
Safety Improvement and Congestion Relief
Program projects and implemenation of the
local streets and roads and other programs
identified in the Expenditure Plan are needed
as soon as possible. In order to accomplish
this, some level of borrowing may be required.

The Authority will determine the extent of
borrowing that is reasonable as the program
is implemented. Up to $900 million (13%) of
the revenues expected to be generated will be
made available for this purpose.

Program Management
If approved by the voters, this Measure C
Renewal will require substantially more
monitoring, analysis, and reporting than the
current Measure. The Authority may seek the
assistance of a program management firm and/
or additional staff. The primary responsibility
of enhanced program management would be
to assist with the development and monitoring
of performance measures as discussed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan and in these
Implementing Guidelines. Enhanced Program
Management could also include managing
projects contained within the Major Roads
and Highways, Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief Program, and other
responsibilities necessary for efficient and
effective implementation of the various
programs. Enhanced program management
responsibilities are part of program
and project delivery and separate
from Program Administration.

Regional Transportation
Mitigation Fee
(RTMF) Program
The 2006 Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
set forth requirements related to implementation
of the Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fee (RTMF) Program. The 2006 Measure C
ballot included requirements for local Fresno
County cities and the county (local agencies) to
implement Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fees pursuant to California Government Code
Sections 66000, et seq. and remit the proceeds to
the FCTA to supplement construction of projects
in the Regional Transportation program. The
ballot also included enforcement mechanisms
to ensure all Fresno County local agencies
participated in the program. In response
to those requirements, and to implement
a consistent regional fee, the local agencies
formed a Joint Powers Agency (JPA), Fresno
County Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee
Agency (FCRTMFA), pursuant to California
Government Code Sections 6500, et seq.
113
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
26 This Measure Renewal provides for the
continuation of the RTMF program established
by the 2006 Measure, including all local agency
enforcement mechanisms, the perpetuation of
the Fresno County RTMF Agency through the
life of the Measure and all adopted policies and
agreements currently in effect pertaining to
the mitigation fee program. The Measure also
recognizes that mitigation fees are governed
by State law, which changes from time to time,
and stipulates implementation of the program
shall remain in compliance with California law.

California statute currently requires a major
update to the NEXUS in 2028, which will revisit
how the fee has been spent on current projects,
consideration of future projects, adjustments to
rates, and all other legal program requirements.

The Authority, consistent with the adopted and
updated Measure C Expenditure Plan, shall have
the authority and flexibility to allocate the RTMF
based upon regional priority need within the
county as defined by the biannual update of the
Major Roads & Highways, Safety Improvement
and Congestion Relief Program consistent with
State law governing impact mitigation fees.

No later than June 30, 2027, all Measure C
agencies must extend the RTMF JPA established
as a part of the second Measure C, consistent
with Section 7 of the JPA Agreement. If any
city or Fresno County should choose to not
implement the RTMF, that agency shall forfeit
annually from the Local Control Program,
an amount equal to the amount of RTMF
that would otherwise have been paid for
development projects within that jurisdiction
during the year. If an agency chooses to not
implement the RTMF, that agency shall notify
the Authority of such decision and shall file
an advisory report with the Authority for each
development indicating the amount of RTMF
that would have been paid. The Authority shall
make a total calculation of RTMF obligation
on an annual basis and deduct the appropriate
amount of funds for the RTMF from the Local
Control Program allocation for that agency.

41 Citizen
Oversight
Committee
A Citizen Oversight Committee (COC) was
established as a part of the 2006 Measure. That
committee’s efforts have been helpful in analyzing
local agency conformance to Expenditure Plan
requirements. Each year their findings are an
important part of the Measure C Annual Report.

This proposed Measure will continue efforts of
the COC with a number of key changes to help
increase local agency accountability for Measure
C funds spent, and to make it easier to ensure that
all COC seats remain filled during the duration
of the Measure (reference the Implementing
Guidelines available online in June 2022 at
www.measurecrenewal.com).

Additional responsibilities and minor changes
to COC membership are also included in the
Implementing Guidelines. COC responsibilities
generally include the following:
• Receive, review, inspect, and recommend
action on independent financial and
performance audits related to the planning
and implementation of the Measure C
Extension program.
• Receive, review, and recommend action
on other periodic reports, studies, and
plans from responsible agencies including
the Authority, Fresno COG, the Cities, the
County or other agencies. Such reports,
studies and plans must be directly related to
Measure C Extension programs, revenues,
or expenditures.
• Review and comment upon Measure C
Extension expenditures to ensure that they
are consistent with the Expenditure Plan.
• Annually review how sales tax receipts are
being spent and publicize the results.
• Present committee recommendations,
findings, and requests to the public and
the Authority in a formal annual report.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
42 Administration
Fresno County Transportation
Authority Structure
Under the Measure C
Renewal Extension Program
The Authority will continue to administer the
Measure C Renewal Extension Program in
compliance with its special enabling legislation.

If the Measure C Extension is approved by Fresno
County voters in November 2022, the Authority
will continue to be responsible for administering
the Measure C Programs in accordance with
plans and programs outlined in the Renewal
Expenditure Plan and subsequent updates of the
Plan. In addition, the enabling legislation includes
provision for a Citizen Oversight Committee
(COC). The COC was formed in 2007 under the
current Measure Program. Details regarding the
Committee are contained in the Implementing
Guidelines. The Expenditure Plan will continue
to be prepared by the Authority and Fresno COG
and approved by the Fresno COG Policy Board
and by the Authority.

The enabling legislation requires that the Authority
be represented by nine (9) members including:
• Two (2) members of the Board of Supervisors
appointed by the board, consisting of one (1)
member from Rural district 1, 4, or 5 and one
(1) member from Urban district 2 or 3.
• Two (2) members representing the City of
Fresno, consisting of the mayor thereof and
a member of the city council of that city
appointed by the city council.
• One (1) member representing the City of
Clovis appointed by the city council of that city.
• Two (2) members representing the other
cities within the county, consisting of one (1)
Westside member appointed by a committee
comprised of the mayor or each of those
cities west of State Route 99, and one (1)
Eastside member appointed by a committee
comprised of the mayors of each of those
cities east of State Route 99.
• Two (2) members of the public-at-large,
consisting of one member appointed by the
board of supervisors with the appointee
residing outside of the incorporated areas
of Fresno and Clovis, and one member
appointed jointly by the cities of Fresno and
Clovis with the appointee residing within
the incorporated area of Fresno or Clovis.
130
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
43 The 2006 Measure C Extension added two new
members to the Authority Board. These two
positions were identified as “Public Members-atLarge” with one seat identified as urban and one as rural. The urban member was to be appointed
jointly by the City of Fresno and City of Clovis,
while the rural member was to be appointed
by the Fresno County Board of Supervisors.

It has been difficult to keep the urban seat
filled. Under this proposed Measure C Renewal
Program, the urban member appointment
will remain the responsibility of the two cities
and the rural member appointment will be
the responsibility of the Board of Supervisors.

However, if either position remains unfilled for
nine (9) consecutive months, said member(s) will
be appointed by the Authority Executive Director.

An appointee of the Executive Director will serve
a full term, after which the responsible agencies
will have an opportunity to choose the successor.

As with the current Measure C Program,
the goal of the Authority and Fresno COG
will be to continue to fulfill the Promise of
Measure C by delivering projects.

Plan Update and
Approval Processes
Regional Transportation Plan and
Sustainable Communities Strategies
In compliance with schedules mandated in
federal and State law, Fresno COG regularly
prepares the Regional Transportation Plan/
Sustainable Communities Strategy (RTP/SCS)
every four (4) years that updates and renews a
list of candidate projects for all transportation
modes (streets, highways, public transportation,
bikeways, aviation, etc.). If funds are available
for any projects beyond those listed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan, they will
be drawn from that list. As stated before,
all updates of the Renewal Expenditure Plan
will be subject to public review and public
hearings. While these candidate projects may
change and priorities for funding may occur,
there are more than enough project needs
within the County to be addressed using
all types of funding, including Measure C.

It will be vital during development of each
Expenditure Plan Update to consider financing
all transportation modes in order to ensure a
balanced and efficient transportation system.

All of the projects and programs included in
the Expenditure Plan are considered essential to
meet the transportation needs of Fresno County.

Measure C Expenditure Plan Update
Fresno COG preforms a biennial update of the
approved Expenditure Plan. Fresno COG and
Authority staff work with member agencies and
affected stakeholders to review and update the
Expenditure Plan taking into consideration the
status of project delivery, funding availability,
and performance indicators. The Fresno COG
Policy Board receives the Draft Expenditure
Plan and its updates and schedules public
hearings to review the Plan. After adoption of
any Expenditure Plan updates by the Policy
Board, the Plan is transmitted to the Authority
for their consideration and approval.
131
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
44 Strategic Implementation Plan
The Authority will prepare a Strategic
Implementation Plan which provides
detailed guidance to local agencies on the
use of Measure C funds. The Authority
updates this plan every two years.

Expenditure Plan Amendments
Fresno COG has the primary responsibility
for initiating official amendments of the
Expenditure Plan. Fresno COG prepares
proposed amendments to be considered by the
COG Policy Board. Amendments approved by
the Policy Board are then transmitted to the
Authority for consideration. If approved by the
Authority Board, amendments are incorporated
into the Expenditure Plan.

The Authority Board may also initiate Expenditure
Plan amendments. The Authority shall take
all appropriate actions to give highest priority
to the projects and programs in the approved
Expenditure Plan, and if any amendments delay or
delete any project in the initial plan, the Authority
shall hold a public hearing and adopt a resolution
initiating the amendments.

The Authority shall notify Fresno COG,
the Board of Supervisors, and the city council
of each city in the county and provide them
with a copy of the proposed amendments.

The amendment is then approved by the
Board of Supervisors and then approved by a
majority of the cities constituting a majority of
the population residing in the incorporated
areas of the county. The proposed amendments
shall become effective immediately upon
completion of the approval process.

Independent Financial Audits
Currently, the Authority annually commissions
independent financial audits of the Measure C
programs and receipts. If the Measure is renewed
by the voters, the Authority would continue
to conduct independent financial audits
consistent with its enabling legislation.

Bonding
The FCTA Board may consider bonding
of future revenues if project needs, and
deliverability exceed cash flow. Bonding will
not be used until first determining that the
benefits of accelerated project or program
delivery outweigh the additional cost of
interest on narrowed funds.

5 Introduction
and Purpose
These Implementing Guidelines have been
prepared to help guide implementation of
the Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan.

The Renewal Expenditure Plan was prepared to
specify how the slightly more than $6.84 billion
in transportation funds, generated through
continuation of Fresno County’s half-cent
transportation sales tax over the next 30 years,
will be allocated to the various transportation
programs. Specifically, these Guidelines will
ensure that promises made to Fresno County
voters will be kept through a set of requirements
specific to each Expenditure Plan Program.

Following approval of the Renewal
Expenditure Plan and these Guidelines
and beginning in 2027 and every two (2)
years thereafter, the Measure C Renewal
Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP) will
be prepared. The SIP will further detail
implementation requirements, provide more
specifics regarding actual Measure C Renewal
proceeds by program, amendments to these
Guidelines, reporting, monitoring, claims and
disbursement processes, and provide further
clarity on project eligibility, performance
indicators and measures. The Guidelines
will aid the Fresno County Transportation
Authority (FCTA or Authority), Fresno
Council of Governments (Fresno COG),
sixteen (16) local agencies, and other
responsible agencies with information
including the following:
• General purpose of each Measure C
Renewal Program.
• Implementing agencies or those agencies
responsible for implementing the Renewal
Program and eligible to receive associated
Measure C funding.
• Important definitions of related program
requirements, methods, or other processes.
• The percentage of Measure C Renewal
funding and the initial amount of funding
allocated to each Renewal Program.
• Other requirements specific
to each Renewal Program.
• The list of eligible projects for which
Measure C Renewal funding can be claimed.

Guideline Amendments
Revisions or amendments to these
Implementing Guidelines shall follow the
same amendment process established for the
Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan under
Administration, Expenditure Plan Amendments.

Program Management
If approved by the voters, this Measure C
Renewal will require substantially more
monitoring, analysis, and reporting than the
current Measure. The Authority may seek the
assistance of a program management firm and/
or additional staff. The primary responsibility
of enhanced program management would be
to assist with the development and monitoring
of performance measures as discussed in
the Renewal Expenditure Plan and in these
140
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
6 Implementing Guidelines. Enhanced Program
Management could also include managing
projects contained within the Major Roads and
Highways, Safety Improvement and Congestion
Relief Program, and other responsibilities
necessary for efficient and effective
implementation of the various programs.

Enhanced program management responsibilities
are part of program and project delivery and
separate from Program Administration.

Performance Indicators
and Measurements
Once the Measure C Renewal Plan and
Implementing Guidelines have been approved
by Fresno COG and adopted by the Authority,
staff will begin working with each of the local
and other interested agencies and individuals to
develop performance measures specific to each
of the Renewal Programs. These Guidelines
include identification of performance indicators
for each Renewal Program. Subcommittees will
be formed to further identify indicators and to
develop performance measures for each of the
Renewal Programs.

Collection of data will be key to measuring
performance and evaluating trends.

Transportation data will also be useful for
agencies or groups involved in transportation
research. In addition to the data collected for
performance indicators and measures, there
will be other data requirements that will be
included in the SIP.

Reporting Requirements
• Agencies will submit to the Authority on an
annual basis the list of completed projects
that utilized Measure C Renewal Program
funding for some or all of the project costs.
• Agencies that utilize some or all of the
Local Control Program funds for services
will identify how these funds were used as a
part of their annual report to the Authority.
• Other required reporting and monitoring
requirements will be included in the Renewal
Strategic Implementation Plan (SIP).

Local Hiring Preference
Measure C funded projects provide direct
and indirect economic benefits to the County
through investments in infrastructure and
related economic activities associated with
construction projects. Measure C projects
will provide good paying jobs to Fresno
County businesses and residents. FCTA and
Fresno COG, working in connection with the
member agencies, will develop reasonable local
hiring and contracting goals to help insure
those benefits are maximized. These goals
will be included in the Measure C Strategic
Implementation Plan prior to July 1, 2027.

Measure C Renewal
Expenditure Plan Programs
The following sections include details regarding
each of the individual Renewal Programs. Each
program has a different set of requirements and
processes given the transportation needs and
141
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
7 goals each are to address over the next 30-years.

Programs included in these Guidelines include
the following:

Local and Neighborhood
Street Repair and
Maintenance Program
The Local and Neighborhood Street Repair and
Maintenance program is intended to bring the
road systems within the 15 incorporated cities
and the rural unincorporated areas of Fresno
County, including arterials, collectors, and
neighborhood streets, to an average Pavement
Condition Index (PCI) of 70, which is within
the “Good” category as measured by engineers
though a Pavement Management System
(PMS), which is defined as a set of procedures
for collecting, analyzing, maintaining, and
reporting pavement data, to assist decision
makers in finding optimum strategies for
maintaining pavements in serviceable condition
over a given period of time for the least cost.

Local Control Program
The 16 local agencies (cities and the county)
in Fresno County will utilize these funds
to address their highest priority unique
transportation needs including improved safety,
enhanced public transit services, additional
local street and highway maintenance and
other street and road improvements, pedestrian,
trail, and bicycle facilities improvements, safe
routes to school improvements, and other
transportation services and programs.

Urban and Rural Public
Transit Program
The Urban and Rural Public Transit Program
will address public transit systems and services
throughout the County including Fresno Area
Express (FAX), Clovis Transit, and the Fresno
County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA).

Safe Bikes and
Pedestrians Program
Including Safe Routes to School &
Access for People with Disabilities
This program will address improvements and
safety enhancements for bicyclists and pedestrians,
including students, seniors and people with
disabilities, as well as other related improvements.

Major Roads and Highways,
Safety Improvement and
Congestion Relief Program
This program will address the funding and
implementation of projects in the Urban (Clovis
and Fresno Spheres of Influence) and Rural
(remaining County and rural incorporated cities)
areas. Such projects will be located along the
State Highway System and along major corridors
to enhance connections within the urban area
and between the cities and rural communities
throughout the County.

Environmental
Sustainability Program
This Program includes clean transportation
projects and programs, transit-oriented
development and Opportunity Corridor projects,
and other projects that will improve air quality,
address climate change and improve health.
142
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
8 Administration Program
This program includes administration and
planning activities of the Fresno County
Transportation Authority (Authority) and the
Fresno Council of Governments.

Specifics regarding the Citizen Oversight
Committee are also included at the end of
these Guidelines.
1 Local &
Neighborhood
Street Repair &
Maintenance
Purpose
The Local and Neighborhood Street Repair
and Maintenance Program (Local Street Repair
Program) is intended to bring the road systems
within the 15 incorporated cities and the
rural unincorporated areas of Fresno County,
including arterials, collectors, and neighborhood
streets, to an average Pavement Condition Index
(PCI) of 70, which is within the “Good” category.

Repairing, rebuilding, and maintaining the road
system will have long-term benefits for future
generations of Fresno County residents. A road
system in “Good” condition is very economical
to maintain with a 2022 estimated cost of $4.50
per square yard (SY) of pavement. Allowing our
road system to remain in Fair or Poor condition
has a much higher cost of $22 to $60 per SY.

The current countywide PCI is approximately
60 and raising it to a PCI of 70 will cost
approximately $3.2 billion over 20 years.

If this goal is not accomplished within 20 years,
the cost will escalate, primarily due to more
roadways falling into disrepair.

In order to reach this average PCI goal, agencies
must also perform preventative maintenance
to prevent roads in “Good” condition from
degrading into “Fair” or “Poor” condition.

The $3.2 billion cost includes funding for
preventative maintenance treatments for roads
currently in good condition, as well as funds for
rebuilding failing roads.

Eligible Agencies
Eligibility is limited to the 15 incorporated cities
and Fresno County. Distribution of these funds is
based on a formula of 78% population and 22%
road miles. Fresno COG will be eligible for the cost
associated with performing the triennial Pavement
Management System surveys and reports.

Program Implementation
Each agency must determine how to manage
their road systems using a combination of road
repair and preventative maintenance strategies.

In order to assist with that effort, a triennial
countywide pavement condition survey (PCS)
will be conducted, with the results furnished
to each agency. Funding for these surveys will
come from this Local Street Repair Program.

The agencies will then be required to develop
an annual Capital Improvement Program that
addresses their pavement repair and maintenance
143
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
9 strategies (updated triennially in conjunction
with the pavement survey). These 5-year Capital
Improvement Programs will be submitted to
FCTA as they are updated. Development and
implementation of the pavement repair strategies
is an eligible expense within this Local Street
Repair Program.

The FCTA Board will use these plans and the
triennial pavement survey to evaluate progress
towards the 70 PCI goal.

Independent financial audits of the Local
Street Repair Program will be performed
annually to verify that funds were expended
consistent with these Program requirements.

Agencies found to be out of compliance may
be subject to withholding of Program funds
until appropriate reimbursements are made.

Every 3 years there will be a compliance
evaluation where jurisdictions must show
how they have spent their Local Street Repair
Program funds, however, agencies are allowed
accumulate funds for up to 6-years if needed
for match purposes or for a large project.

If an agency is not in compliance with the 6-year
requirement, the Authority may withhold funds
until the jurisdiction is compliant. Repeated noncompliance may be subject to reallocation of funds as determined by the Authority Board.

Performance Indicators
Performance indicators include,
but are not limited to the following:
• Pavement Condition Index (PCI).
• Funds expended consistent with Local
Street Repair Program requirements.
• Percentage of funds expended
in disadvantaged areas.
• Amount of funds bonded and advanced.
• Lane miles paved by classification (arterial,
collector, neighborhood street).
• Timely use of funds.
• Matching funds obtained.

Definitions
Funding within the Local Street Repair
Program must be utilized exclusively for street
maintenance, repair, or rehabilitation as defined
by Assembly Bill (AB) 2928 language for local
agency allocations under Proposition 42:
• Funds allocated to a city, county..... shall be
used only for street and highway maintenance,
rehabilitation, reconstruction, and storm
damage repair. For purposes of this section, the
following terms have the following meanings:
▪ "Maintenance" means either
or both of the following:
- Patching.
- Overlay and sealing.
144
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
10 "Reconstruction" includes any overlay, sealing,
or widening of the roadway, if the widening is
necessary to bring the roadway width to the
desirable minimum width consistent with the
geometric design criteria of the department
for 3-R (reconstruction, resurfacing, and
rehabilitation) projects that are not on a
freeway but does not include widening for
the purpose of increasing the traffic capacity
of a street or highway.
"Storm damage repair" is repair or reconstruction
of local streets and highways and related drainage
improvements that have been damaged due to
winter storms and flooding, and reconstruction
of drainage improvements to mitigate future
roadway flooding and damage problems,
in those jurisdictions that have been declared
disaster areas by the President of the United States.

These Local Street Repair Program funds
are limited to repairs and maintenance on
the existing roadway and shoulder structural
section. Repairs to adjacent curb and gutter
can be included where necessary to maintain
proper street drainage. Installation of new
sidewalks, bike lanes, or curbs and gutters
are not eligible under this Program. Repairs
to existing public sidewalks may be included
within adjacent street repairs provided such
repairs are necessary to address ADA path of
travel or pedestrian safety issues associated with
tree-damaged sidewalks. Said sidewalk repairs
cannot exceed 20% of the over cost of the street
repair project. Installation of new sidewalks,
bike lanes, or curbs and gutters are not eligible
under this Program. However, other funding
sources including non-Measure C funding or
Measure C funding from the Local Control
Program can be combined with these Local
Street Repair Program funds in order to address
the entire roadway prism under one project.

It is highly recommended that this “combined
funding” approach be utilized whenever
feasible in order to provide the best overall
complete street system for neighborhoods and
to reduce overall costs though combining work
under a single contract.

Roadway restriping in order to repurpose
existing travel lanes for bicycle facilities as a part
of a pavement repair project is allowable as long
as it does not increase the overall paved width.

Funding Allocation
The Local Streets Repair Program consists of
51% of Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan
revenues estimated to be $3.5 billion over the 30-
year Measure. This slightly exceeds the projected
pavement repair need of $3.2 billion by $300
million; however, the $3.2 billion cost was based
on reaching a PCI of 70 within 20 years, while the
$3.5 billion in revenue will occur over 30 years.

The Authority Board will consider bonding of
future revenues to accelerate this effort; and will
encourage local agencies to consider bonding or
borrowing options in order to advance this work.

The $3.5 billion is intended to reflect potential
bonding costs, as well as the fact it may take
longer than 20 years to reach the 70 PCI target.
145
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
11 Funding Allocation Process
A minimum base of $100,000 per year shall be
allocated to each agency, and then the annual
78% population / 22% road mile formula
would be applied to determine the total funding
allocation by local agency under this Program.

Other Requirements
Every agency that receives Local Street Repair
Program funding must allocate no less than 30%
of their allocation, as determined on a 5-year
rolling average, on areas within their jurisdiction
that are disadvantaged using the highest 25%
census tracks based on CalEnviro Screen 4.0 and
areas with a median income of less than 80%
of the statewide median. Restriction remains
in effect until the Agency's average PCI for the
Disadvantaged Areas reaches 65. Once the
average PCI of 65 is met, that 30% restriction
is suspended, as long as those areas do not fall
below a PCI of 65 in subsequent years. Agencies
must still continue to invest in those areas in
order to raise the overall PCI to 70.

When the average PCI of the streets or roads
within a jurisdiction either exceeds 80, or the
lowest PCI on any street within the jurisdiction
is 70 or higher, Local Street Repair Program
funds in excess of what is needed to maintain
street conditions above a PCI of 70 may be
utilized as Local Control Program funds.

Eligible Projects/Programs

owned facilities (pavement and pothole
repair, drainage improvements, other
related improvements) including:
▪ Planning and environmental analysis.
▪ Conceptual and preliminary engineering.

146
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
12 2
Local Control
Introduction/Purpose
The intent of the Local Control
Program is to recognize:
• Not every community in Fresno County has
the same transportation needs.
• Transportation needs can change over time.
• Local match funding is consistently a
requirement for transportation funding
grant programs; and the larger the match
the more competitive grant applications
typically are.
• A 30-year Measure cannot predict all of the
transportation needs within a community
over that 30-year period; agencies need
flexibility to adapt to changing needs.

This Local Control Program is intended to
give the 16 local agencies in Fresno County
flexibility to respond to each of these situations
and more. It is intended to allow each agency to
determine how to most effectively spend these
transportation dollars. These funds can be used
for projects or services that do not fit well within
the other Measure C Programs, or they can be
used to supplement those Programs if the need is
greater than the funds those Programs provide.

Implementing Agencies
Local Control Program proceeds will be
allocated to each of the 15 incorporated
cities and Fresno County.

Program Disbursement
Process/Requirements
Funding Allocation Process
Allocations made by the Authority to the local
agencies will be based on the approved annual
estimate of 100% population.

test where jurisdictions must show they have
spent their Local Street Repair Program funds,
however, agencies are allowed accumulate funds
for up to 6-years if needed for match purposes or
for a large project.

If an agency is not in compliance with the 6-year
requirement, the Authority may withhold funds
until the jurisdiction is compliant.

Urban and
Rural Public
Transit
Overview/Purpose
The Urban and Rural Public Transit Program
is intended to provide funding for public
transit programs that will encourage people
to minimize single occupancy vehicle trips,
provide enhanced mobility options for seniors,
people with disabilities, and other transit
dependent individuals, and improve air quality.

Improvements to the existing and planned
transit services has gained prominence around
the State and within Fresno County. There are
significant opportunities to fund public transit
improvements using State and federal funds.

The Measure C allocation to this Program will
provide additional opportunities for the local
agencies to leverage State and federal funding.

Approximately twelve percent (12%) of
Measure C Renewal funding is provided
to fund improvements to the existing and
planned public transit systems and facilities
in the urban and rural areas of the County.

Implementing Agencies
Urban and Rural Public Transit proceeds will
be allocated to each of the following agencies:
• Clovis Transit
• Fresno Area Express (FAX)
• Fresno County Rural Transit Agency (FCRTA)
Each of the three transit providers will receive an
annual allocation of Measure C Renewal funding
for the improvement of public transit services.

Fresno COG will receive periodic funding to
update the Regional Long Range Transit Plan.

FAX and Clovis Transit are the urban
transit operators in Fresno County, while
FCRTA provides transit services within the
thirteen (13) rural incorporated cities located
outside the Fresno-Clovis metropolitan area
(FCMA), as well as inter-city transit service,
which focuses on providing transit trips
from the small, incorporated cities and the
unincorporated communities within Fresno
County to the FCMA.

Performance Indicators
To ensure that Measure C funds are allocated
to effective programs that provide measurable
results in reducing single occupant auto use,
eligible projects, programs, and services will
be evaluated in accordance the performance
indicators and measures process noted below.
• Matching funds obtained.

Urban and Rural Public Transit Operators
are required by California state law to
undergo transit performance audits every
three (3) years. In general, there are six (6)
transit performance indicators that are used
to determine how effectively and efficiently
a transit operator is operating from a fiscal
perspective. Those six (6) performances
indicators, are:
• Operating cost.
• Fare revenues.
• Vehicle service hours.
• Vehicle service miles.
• Number of passengers.
• Number of employees.

There are also nine (9) transit performance
measures, which are derived from these indicators:
• Operating cost per passenger.
• Operating cost per vehicle service hour.
• Operating cost per vehicle service mile.
• Passengers per vehicle service hour.
• Passengers per vehicle service mile.
• Farebox ratio.
• Vehicle service hours per employee.
• Vehicle service mile per vehicle service hours.
• Fare per passenger.

The results of these transit performance
measures vary significantly between the urban
and rural transit operators as their service areas
and customer base are unique. As a result, it
will be necessary to develop detailed transit
performance measures within the Strategic
Implementation Plan (SIP) that will serve as
a companion implementation document to
the Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan and
to these Guidelines. To ensure development
of quality performance measures for public
transit, it is envisioned that a Measure C Transit
Subcommittee consisting of staff from the
urban and rural transit agencies along with
FCTA, Fresno COG and member agency staff
will be formed to assist with the development
of performance measures. These and/or other
indicators, criteria or objectives will be taken into
consideration to develop performance measures
when evaluating the Urban and Rural Public

Safe Bikes and
Pedestrians
Including Safe Routes
to School & Access for
People with Disabilities
Overview/Purpose
The purpose of the Safe Bike and Pedestrian
Program (hereinafter referred to as “Active
Transportation Program”) is to provide
additional funding for bike, pedestrian and
trail facilities and services, and safe routes
to schools that will increase safety, reduce
automobile trips and vehicle miles traveled
(VMT), thereby improving air quality, reducing
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and improving
health. Improvements to the existing and
planned pedestrian, trail, and bicycle systems
have gained prominence around the State and
within Fresno County. There are significant
opportunities for funding these types of projects
using State and federal funds. The Measure C
Renewal allocation to this Program will provide
additional opportunities for the local agencies to
leverage State and federal funding.

Approximately 1% of Measure C Renewal
funding is provided to fund improvements to
the existing and planned bike, pedestrian and
trail systems.

Implementing Agencies
Active Transportation Program proceeds will
be allocated to each of the agencies listed below.

Each of the cities and the County of Fresno
will receive an annual allocation of Measure C
Renewal funding for the improvement of bike
and pedestrian projects and systems. Fresno COG
will prepare the Regional Active Transportation
Plan (ATP) and FCTA will develop and apply
performance indicators and measures.
• 15 Cities.
• County of Fresno.

Fresno COG will receive periodic funding to
update the Regional Active Transportation Plan.

Disbursement Process/
Requirements
Funding Allocation Process
Allocations made by the Authority to the local
agencies will be based on the approved annual
estimate of 75% population and 25% road miles.

Inclusion of Projects
in Approved Budget or
Related Program
Active Transportation Program projects
shall be included in a local agency Fiveyear Capital Improvement Program (CIP) or Annual Expenditure Plan (AEP), or an
annual budget, or by a resolution approving
an eligible project or list of projects and/or
programs at a public hearing of each
local agency.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
22 Requirements Applying to
All Facilities Utilizing Any
Measure C Program Funds
All streets and roads constructed or improved
in whole or in part with Measure C Renewal
funds shall include “Complete Street” features.

A complete street is defined as a transportation
facility that is planned, designed, constructed,
operated, and maintained to provide comfortable
and convenient mobility, and improve accessibility
and connectivity to essential community
destinations for all users, regardless of whether
they are travelling as pedestrians, bicyclists,
public transportation riders, or drivers. Streets and
roads that utilize the Local Street Repair Program
funds for maintenance and repair of streets are
encouraged to include complete street elements
that do not require additional pavement width.
• New Pedestrian Facilities
▪ Every highway, expressway, super-arterial,
arterial or collector (exempting freeways)
within the urbanized areas throughout the
County that is constructed or reconstructed
in whole or in part with Measure C Renewal
funds shall include sidewalks, paths, walkways,
or equivalent facilities on both sides
of the street, road, or highway for use by
pedestrians. Reconstruction projects
accomplished exclusively through the
Local and Neighborhood Street Repair
and Maintenance Program are exempt
from this requirement but are encouraged to
utilize other funding sources to provide these
pedestrian facilities where none currently exist.
▪ Facilities built and maintained by the State
of California and projects, which are either
for routine maintenance or traffic safety
purposes, are exempt from this requirement;
however, Caltrans should be encouraged to
implement these features where feasible and
consistent with Caltrans regulations.
▪ Expressways constructed in an urban area
can meet this requirement by including a
sidewalk, paths, walkways or equivalent
facility on one side of the roadway.
• New Bicycle Facilities
▪ Every highway, expressway, super-arterial,
arterial or collector within the County
constructed in whole or in part with
Measure C Renewal funds shall include
accommodations for bicycle travel by a
striped shoulder with a minimum width
of four feet (4’). This 4’ shoulder may be
provided as a bike lane or a cycletrack.

If an existing highway, expressway, superarterial or collector is reconstructed and said reconstruction includes pavement
widening, that project will also be subject
to this requirement. Reconstruction projects
accomplished exclusively through the Local
and Neighborhood Street Repair and
Maintenance Program are exempt from
this requirement but are encouraged to
utilize other funding sources to provide these
bicycle facilities where none currently exist.
157
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
23 ▪ Likewise, all such roadways within the
County receiving pavement reconstruction
(without pavement widening), rehabilitation
or an overlay, slurry seal, chip seal, or
seal coat funded in whole or in part with
Measure C Renewal funds shall include
accommodations for bicycle travel by a
striped shoulder with a minimum width
of four feet (4’) unless there is insufficient
pavement width. This 4’ shoulder may be
provided as a bike lane or a cycletrack.
▪ On a multilane roadway, conversion
of travel lanes to bicycle facilities is
eligible and recommended provided
the responsible agency has made a
determination that excess roadway
capacity exists and that the bicycle
facilities are allowable.

Maintained Pedestrian
or Bicycle Facilities
Any maintenance to a street, road, or highway
funded in whole or in part by Measure C Renewal
funds shall, at a minimum, maintain the existing
level of pedestrian and bicycle access, facilities
and safety features along and across the street,
road, or highway.

Exceptions to the
Requirements
The above requirements shall not apply if the
constructing agency, after a properly noticed
public hearing, determines that one (1) or
more of the exceptions listed below exists.

The public hearing notice shall include a
statement clearly declaring that the purpose of
the hearing is to review bicycle and pedestrian
facility exception(s) for a proposed project using
Measure C Renewal funds and identifying the
specific exceptions. The exceptions are:
• The provision of pedestrian and/or bicycle
access is contrary to public safety.
• An alternative route already exists, or will be
built as part of a project, which is equal or better
in terms of safety, distance and travel time.
• The cost of the facilities would be
disproportionate (exceeding 20%
of the cost of the overall project).
• Sparse population or other measurable
factors indicate an absence of need.
• Significant adverse environmental effects
would result from the inclusion of the
facilities in the project.
• Opposition by two-thirds (2/3) or more of
the property owners whose property lies
directly adjacent to the facilities.
“Constructed” is defined as the construction of
a new roadway or portion of a roadway that
did not previously exist including projects to
increase the capacity of an existing street or road.

For the purposes of this section, “Reconstructed”
is defined as the existing full improvement of an
existing roadway, but which does not include
additional lane capacity. Reconstruction may or
may not include shoulder widening.
158
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
24 For the purposes of this section “Urban Areas” is
defined as the Fresno Clovis Metropolitan Area
and the incorporated cities of Fresno County.

Flexibility if Needs Are Met
In 2032, 2037, 2042, 2047, and 2052
the Authority will review the status of all
jurisdictions’ Active Transportation Plans.

If the Authority determines at a public hearing that
a jurisdiction’s Active Transportation Plan is less
than five (5) years old when last adopted, and the
Active Transportation Plan has been completed
at each of these five-year marks, the allocation
requirements are suspended until the next
evaluation and funding will revert to the overall
Local Control Program of the local jurisdiction.

Major Roads
& Highways,
Safety
Improvement
& Congestion
Relief
Purpose
The Major Roads and Highways, Safety
Improvements and Congestion Relief Program
identifies priority regional street, road and
highway improvement projects to be implemented
over the life of the Measure C Renewal Program.

These projects will be funded with Measure C
Renewal and/or other transportation funding.

Projects within this program are considered to be
of regional significance.

Eligible Agencies
Eligible agencies for this program include the 15
incorporated cities, Fresno County, the Fresno
Council of Governments (Fresno COG, the
Fresno County Transportation Authority
(FCTA or the Authority), and Caltrans.

Program Implementation
Implementing Agencies will be designated
for each of the regional projects included
on the Tier 1 Urban or Rural Project List prior
to beginning project development activities.

The Implementing Agency will generally be the
owner of the facility; however, it may also be the
sponsoring agency for a project that is not a part
of their system. The Authority may also choose
to be the Implementing Agency for a project
on facilities owned by others. The owner of the
facility must agree to another agency assuming
the role of Implementing Agency.

Definitions
Projects within this Program are generally on
the State Highway System, as those facilities
are regional by nature; however, projects can
also include those on major local arterials
that serve more than one city or area of the
county. Fresno Yosemite International (FYI)
Airport is also included as a regional facility,
as it facilitates passenger and freight travel
from throughout Fresno County to state,
national, and international destinations.

Eligible Project Lists
The Renewal Expenditure Plan contains Tier
1 and Tier 2 Project Lists for both urban and
rural areas of the County. The Tier 1 projects
are part of the initial 15 years of the Measure
C Renewal Program, while the Tier 2 lists are
projects potentially eligible for funding in the
second 15 years of the Measure C Renewal
Program. Tier 1 Urban and Rural Project Lists
are both slightly over committed. The Tier 1
and Tier 2 lists are included as Tables 4 through
7 in the Renewal Expenditure Plan. Over
committing of Tier 1, not to exceed 25% of the
overall funding target, is included in the list
of Tier 1 projects. All Tier 1 projects are high
160
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
26 priority, and any uncompleted projects would
very likely become high priority for the second
15 years of Measure C Renewal funding. Over
committing allows the advancement of critical
projects through the project delivery process
so that they are ready for funding as it becomes
available. Over commitment also allows agencies
to take advantage of future potential funding
opportunities that cannot be anticipated or
quantified at this time.

The Renewal Expenditure Plan contains $35
million for improvements at FYI Airport, with
$14 million of this funding being available in
the first 15 years and with the remainder in the
second 15-year period. The City of Fresno will
determine the priority projects for this reserve
funding. If requested by the City of Fresno, the
FCTA Board may consider advancing airport
revenues from the second half on the measure
into the first 15 years.

Flexibility and Plan
Modifications
Fresno COG and FCTA will conduct
biennial Major Roads and Highways, Safety
Improvements and Congestion Relief Program
reviews and updates, the purpose of which will
be to ascertain project delivery status, as well as
validity of funding availability. Adjustments to
delivery schedules and funding contributions
may be necessary as a part of these updates.

No later than June 30, 2027, Fresno COG and
FCTA will identify projects from the Tier 1 lists
for the first seven (7) years of the Measure C
Renewal Program. These projects will be selected
based on relative priority, deliverability, and cash
flow. No later than June 30, 2034, Fresno COG
and FCTA will identify projects from the Tier 1
lists for years eight through fifteen (8-15) of the
Measure C Renewal Program; again, based on
relative priorities, deliverability, and cash flow.

Beginning no later than 2041, Fresno COG and
FCTA will develop and conduct a comprehensive
public engagement process to help guide the effort
to establish the list of projects to be funded during
the second half of the Measure Renewal. No later
than June 30, 2042, Fresno COG and FCTA will
adopt a list of urban and rural projects to be
funded during the second half of the
Measure Renewal.

The FCTA Board may consider bonding
of future revenues if project needs, and
deliverability exceed cash flow.

Regional Transportation
Mitigation Fee
Program (RTMF)
The Measure C Renewal Expenditure Plan sets
forth requirements related to implementation
of the Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee
(RTMF) Program. The Measure C ballot in
2006 included requirements for local Fresno
County cities and the county (local agencies) to
implement Regional Transportation Mitigation
Fees pursuant to California Government Code
Sections 66000, et seq. and remit the proceeds to
the FCTA to supplement construction of projects
in the Regional Transportation program.
161
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
27 The ballot also included enforcement mechanisms
to ensure all Fresno County local agencies
participated in the program. In response
to those requirements, and to implement a
consistent regional fee, the local agencies formed
a Joint Powers Agency (JPA), Fresno County
Regional Transportation Mitigation Fee Agency
(FCRTMFA), pursuant to California Government
Code Sections 6500, et seq.

This Measure Renewal provides for the
continuation of the RTMF program established
by the 2006 Measure, including all local agency
enforcement mechanisms, the perpetuation of
the Fresno County RTMF Agency through the
life of the Measure and all adopted policies and
agreements currently in effect pertaining to
the mitigation fee program. The Measure also
recognizes that mitigation fees are governed
by State law, which changes from time to time,
and stipulates implementation of the program
shall remain in compliance with California law.

The RTMF Program requires that new growth
and development within the county and each of
the cities contribute to regional street and highway
project costs. The RTMF Program ensures that
growth and development pay for their fair share
of impacts to the county’s transportation facilities.

The RTMF Program can only be used to mitigate
transportation impacts related to growth; it cannot
be used to address existing deficiencies.

Funding Allocations
Each Implementing Agency will request
project funding from the Authority, which
will be provided through a Cooperative
Funding Agreement. These agreements will
allocate funding for the initial project phase(s).
162
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
28 As the project progresses and additional funding
is necessary to proceed to subsequent phases,
the agreement will be amended to reflect
the additional costs. All funding agreements
reimburse Implementing Agencies for funds
expended. The agreements do not provide
agencies with advanced funding.

Other Requirements
Implementing Agencies will be required to report
project progress on an on-going basis to the
Authority. Projects requiring cost increases not
associated with subsequent project phases must
be thoroughly justified by the Implementing
Agency. A funding agreement amendment must
be approved prior to expending funds beyond
the approved project budget.

Implementing Agencies will furnish, install and
maintain project funding signage recognizing the
Measure C Renewal funding contribution. Details
of said signage will be contained in the SIP.

All major roads and highways constructed,
improved, or reconstructed under this Program
shall follow the requirements delineated in the
Safe Bike and Pedestrian Program section of these
Guidelines titled “Requirements Applying to All
Facilities Utilizing Any Measure C Program Funds.”

Environmental
Sustainability
Nationwide, the San Joaquin Valley suffers
the worst air quality for certain pollutants.

Tailpipe emissions, agriculture, industry and
the geography of the Valley have resulted in
high concentration of ozone and particulate
matter that lead to a disproportionately high
rate of respiratory diseases such as asthma.

The Valley has also experienced severe drought,
wildfire, flash flooding, and prolonged tripledigit summer temperatures that have been exacerbated by climate change. Transportation
sector contributes far more than 40% of the
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In order to respond to the State’s goals of
GHG reduction, and to improve air quality
in the Fresno region, the Environmental
Sustainability Program addresses these issues
by providing funding for programs and projects
that would increase the vehicle electrification
rate, enable new technologies, facilitate nonsingle-occupancy-vehicle travel, and encourage sustainable land use development. In addition,
in order to preserve the transportation
investments made by the voters in Fresno
County, and maintain a livable and enjoyable
living environment, this Program also provides
funding to encourage local agencies and Caltrans
to remove litter from the roadways.

Providing a separate Renewal Program for
environmental sustainability in no way implies
these are the only funds within the Measure C
Renewal Program dedicated to these purposes.

In fact, each of the previous five (5) Renewal
Programs all contain elements or provisions
to improve air quality and reduce GHG
emissions. This Program will provide funds
over and above those contained within those
other Renewal Programs.

The agencies listed below are eligible for
Environmental Sustainability Program funding.

Private sector, non-profit organizations, or other
government agencies may also apply through
a sponsoring local government agency where
the project is located. The agencies listed below
would be considered the Implementing Agency
for each eligible project.
• 15 Incorporated cities within Fresno County.
• County of Fresno.
• Fresno Council of Governments.

Typically, the 16 local agencies in Fresno
County would be the primary applicants
for these funds; however, some projects or
programs may be of a more regional nature,
in which case Fresno COG or FCTA may be
the logical applicant.
164
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
30 Funding Disbursement
Process/Requirements
All the projects or programs under the
Environmental Sustainability Program are
competitive. Specific implementation policies
and guidelines will be developed for each project
type or program following Measure C Renewal
approval by the voters.

Eligible Projects
and Programs
Clean Energy
Approximately $22 million (.32% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.
• Charging stations, hydrogen fueling, CNG, etc.
• Regional Zero-Emission Vehicle Readiness
and Implementation Plan (FCTA/FCOG
staff or consultant services).
• Local agency Zero-Emission Vehicle
Readiness and Implementation Plans.
• Clean vehicle power support facilities.
• Microgrid/solar EV battery charging.
• Other clean transportation projects
or programs.

Travel Choice
Approximately $20 million (.29% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.
▪ Micro mobility hubs (are designed
to provide and identify a range of
connected travel choices).
▪ Innovations in micro mobility
(bicycles, e-bikes, electric scooters,
electric skateboards, shared bicycles,
and electric pedal assisted bicycles).
▪ Rideshare, and car and vanpool programs
▪ Increased opportunities for telecommuting.
▪ Broadband infrastructure for telecommuting
and education facility purposes.

Future Technologies
Approximately $40 million (.59% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.
▪ Other new technology applications.
▪ Future technology improvements.

Transit Oriented
Program (TOD) and
Opportunity Corridors
Approximately $45 million (.66% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program
TOD grants provide funding for transportation
facilities in new or revitalized developments that
support increased demand for transit with higher
density and mixed land use. TOD developments
reduce our dependence on the automobile by
providing funding incentives for more public or
alternative transportation.

The Measure C Renewal Program and its goal
of vibrant communities that are accessible by
sustainable transportation options, is integrally
linked to the implementation of the Regional
Transportation Plan/Sustainable Community
Strategy (RTP/SCS). The selected RTP/SCS
scenario will achieve the goals of reducing sprawl
while supporting higher densities in urban areas
with high quality public transit options.
165
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
31 As an example, the Fresno Opportunity Corridors
(FOC) plan was developed as a part of the DRIVE
initiative and is aimed at helping implement the
Measure C Renewal Program, RTP/SCS and the
Fresno General Plan. FOC has the potential to
receive hundreds of millions of dollars from State,
federal and philanthropic sources needed to build
intense high quality equitable transit-oriented
development (eTOD) with affordable housing
and other desirable mixed-uses along eleven (11)
miles of complete multi-modal streetscapes in
central and south Fresno. It is also a model for all
cities in Fresno County and the Valley that want
vibrant places along their key corridors designed
as high activity mixed-use centers that better meet
the health, housing, jobs, business, recreation
and transportation needs of their stakeholders
while producing significant reductions in VMT
and GHGs and improving environmental quality,
fiscal efficiency, and many other opportunities.

Litter Abatement
Approximately $10 million (.15% of the
Measure) is dedicated to this program.

Matching funds would be available on a
one-for-one basis to secure Caltrans funding
for increased litter abatement activities. Onehalf of the matching funds would come from the Measure C Environmental Sustainability
Program and one-half would come from
any Measure C eligible agency that chooses
to participate in the program.

Enhanced litter abatement would be limited to
State highways in order to maximize Caltrans
funding. In addition, the local matching funds
for litter abatement would be eligible within the
Local Control Program. Participating agencies
may also provide a soft match in the form of
time and materials.

Eligible Investments
Eligible investments would include all
recognized project phases including:
• Planning and environmental analysis.
• Conceptual and preliminary engineering.
• Design engineering (PS&E).
• Right-of-way acquisition,
support and relocation.
• Utilities relocation.
• Construction of any transportation-related
project including alleys and unpaved roads.
• Inspection of construction engineering.
• Direct staff time (salary and benefits).
• Consultants selected consistent with a local
agency selection process.
• Construction contractors selected consistent
with a local agency selection process.
• Labor, materials, and equipment for day labor.
166
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
32 Project Requirements
clean energy
This program would fund clean and alternative
energy projects such as hydrogen fueling,
electric charging, compressed natural gas
(CNG), projects etc., that reduces the
production of GHG and priority pollutants.

Local governments and other entities are
encouraged to develop plans and deploy such
clean energy projects systematically. When
developing such plans, entities are encouraged to
reach out to communities and solicit input from
the public and the users. With a few possible
exceptions to be determined by the Authority
and its staff, clean energy projects do not include
power generation or distribution facilities.
travel choice
This program would fund micro-mobility and
other projects that would reduce the use of
private automobiles. Micro-mobility refers to
a combination of small and low- speed
vehicles and conveyances that are electric or
human-powered and that are either privately
owned or part of a shared-fleet. This program
will also provide funding for programs or
infrastructure that would facilitate
telecommute and for support of car and
vanpool programs.
future technologies
This program would fund future unforeseen
technologies that have potential for broad
benefits to Fresno County residents, assisting
the region in meeting its air quality goals. These
should be projects of regional significance in the
areas of research, development, demonstration,
and deployment that will advance public transit
or transportation systems. These new technologies
could focus on technological advances in public
systems, safety features, fuel efficiencies and
alternatives, ITS applications, and education
or information dissemination. They may also
promote passenger safety and satisfaction, attract
customers, improve capital and operating
efficiencies, reduce environmental and air
pollution, and ease dependence on fossil fuels.

This program was created as part of the
2006 Measure C Extension Plan. The goals
of the Measure C Renewal TOD program
are intended to support community-based
housing projects that are transit friendly:
• Are developed through an inclusive
planning process with broad privatepublic partnerships and outreach. • Improve the range of transportation choices
by supporting transit facilities and improving
links between facilities and activity nodes.
• Support well-designed, high-density
housing and mixed uses near transit.
• In addition to encouraging transit supportive
land use surrounding the high-capacity transit
corridors to boost transit ridership in the Fresno
County region, the TOD program also strives to
support livable, viable and sustainable transitoriented healthy communities that promote walking, biking, and the use of public transit
and reduce private vehicle dependence. Such
167
AGENDA ITEM NO. 18.
33 TOD communities promote health and wellbeing and reduce risks for chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.

The projects funded by the TOD program
serve as models that reduce vehicle trips,
improve air quality, and provide access to
physical activity opportunities through
integrated land use and transportation planning.

The TOD program provides funding to
three types of projects/programs that are
competitive based:
• Transportation infrastructure improvements to
transit facilities to encourage safety and access
to transit facilities, support in-fill development
or revitalization, reduce traffic congestion at
transit stations, and provide for a wider range
of transportation choices and improved internal
mobility. Funds may be used for preliminary
design and environmental studies, engineering,
land acquisition, and construction.
• Planning Program or matching money to
identify nodal transit sites on transit corridors
for transit-oriented development, planning
retrofit for existing neighborhoods, downtowns,
commercial cores, and transit station areas
and stops in order to create access to transit
and mixed-use development in transit friendly
environments. The community planning
process would result in transportation/landuse concept plans; streetscape design concept plans, environmental studies, detailed drawings,
construction cost estimates, and implementation
plans for specific capital projects.
• Housing in-fill incentive programs would
reward local governments for encouraging
developers to build compact designs with higher
housing densities, affordable and accessible
housing, and mixed uses that are characteristic
of well-implemented Transit Oriented Design
found in other cities’ developments in proximity
to transit stops. Local government agencies may
spend funds to supplement development fees or
on a capital project that supports new housing
development connections to transit.

Litter Abatement
Litter along the region’s freeways, highways,
and major arterials has been an on-going
issue for Fresno County and its communities.

This activity can provide matching funds to
leverage additional resources for abatement,
public education or additional community
or government resources (Caltrans or other
government agency grants).

Other Requirements
Grant application processes will be developed for
these competitive programs and will include:
• Monitoring and reporting requirements.
• Audit process.
• Performance indicators.

34 Performance Indicators
and Measures

be developed as a part of the competitive
program criteria and will include:
• Matching funds obtained.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Public Utilities Department
DATE: August 1, 2022
SUBJECT: Public Utilities – Approval – Enter into a Contract with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. to Provide Consulting Services for Evaluation and LongRange Planning of the Surface Water Treatment Plant.

ATTACHMENTS: 1. Consultant Services Agreement

CONFLICT OF INTEREST
None.

RECOMMENDATION

1. For the City Council to award a contract for the Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation to Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. in the amount of $317,400.

2. For City Council to authorize the City Manager to execute the contract on behalf of the City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff is recommending that Council authorize the City Manager to execute a contract with Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) in the amount of $317,400, based on a review of proposals received in response to a Request for Proposals (RFP) posted on May 13, 2022. The RFP requested proposals from qualified firms with experience in evaluating existing conditions of surface water treatment plants and providing solutions for plant improvement and long-range planning.

The Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation is a comprehensive and long-term engineering document intended to evaluate the City’s existing surface water treatment plant (SWTP) and provide upgrade and maintenance recommendations to ensure the facility can reliably produce high-quality drinking water now and in the future. The work for this project includes the evaluation of existing processes at the SWTP, recommendations for mitigating potential deficiencies, developing treatment processes to meet future demand and regulatory conditions, and preparing cost estimates for the proposed facility improvements.
173
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.

BACKGROUND
The SWTP was originally placed into operation in 2004 with the capacity to treat 15 million gallons per day (mgd), and was expanded to treat 22.5 mgd in 2014. The plant has been in operation for nearly 20 years and effectively produces high-quality drinking water. There are some operational limitations in the existing plant, along with the aging facilities, that need to be assessed in order to provide long-term solutions to keep the plant running at optimum performance. The evaluation includes assessment of the physical system and systematic guidance for near- and long-term facility upgrades. It will address maintenance and improvement projects required for the plant to reliably produce 22.5 mgd of high-quality drinking water, while also considering the master planned expansion of the SWTP to treat the build-out capacity of 45 mgd. The evaluation includes identifying potential future regulatory constraints and mitigation.

Appropriately planning the operation and expansion of the SWTP provides for the orderly growth of our City, while continuing to meet the State of California objectives of reducing reliance on groundwater under the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA).

City staff prepared a Request for Proposals (RFP) in May 2022, seeking a qualified and experienced consulting firm to provide engineering services for the Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation. The City received three proposals in response to the RFP posted on May 13, 2022. A review committee was assembled to evaluate each of the proposals in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the RFP. The committee found that the proposals were responsive and qualified to perform the requested work. Interviews were scheduled with the respondents on June 27 and June 28, 2022. The review committee interviewed each of the three consultants.

Based on the criteria outlined in the RFP, the committee deemed Stantec to be the most qualified consultant to perform the work.

FISCAL IMPACT
Funds have been budgeted in the 2022/23 Fiscal Year with funding from the Water Enterprise Fund and the Water Development Fund. Sufficient funds are available for the anticipated costs of the project.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
City staff have determined that Stantec is the most qualified consultant to perform the Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation. This work will provide a short- and long-term planning document outlining upgrade and maintenance projects needed to ensure the SWTP’s ability to reliably produce 22.5 mgd of high-quality drinking water, while considering future expansion of the SWTP per the water master plan. This will enable staff to properly plan and budget for the associated improvements.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
The City Manager will execute a contract with Stantec to initiate work on the Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation.

Deliverables:
 Project Implementation Plan
 Project Schedule
 Project Correspondence and Meeting Minutes
TASK 2: SURFACE WATER TREATMENT PLANT EVALUATION
This task includes all work by Stantec to prepare an evaluation for the existing and planned expansion of the City of Clovis Surface Water Treatment Plant (SWTP). This includes, but is not limited to:

1. The source water quality and its seasonal variability

2. The evaluation of the overall SWTP process and facilities

3. The scalability of the SWTP

4. Long-term planning objectives of the SWTP

5. Recommended modifications or improvements to the treatment process and plant facilities (e.g., pretreatment, T&O considerations, additional clear well capacity, etc.) This task may include but is not limited to the following activities and deliverables identified below:

A. Source Water Quality Documentation:

Stantec will review all available information as it relates to existing source water quality from the Enterprise Canal taking note of any seasonal variability.
183
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.

City of Clovis – RFP – SWTP Evaluation Project Page 10
For this sub-task, Stantec will conduct an evaluation of a least five to ten years of water quality data to identify significant trends in important parameters and correlate those trends and unusual events to water treatment challenges. Stantec will conduct statistical analyses of available data and time series graphs of major parameters including but not limited to turbidity, pH, temperature, TOC, geosmin and algae counts (if available). If correlations appear, additional analyses will be performed and graphed.

Review of future source water quality and upcoming rules and regulations is included in Task 3. To provide a comprehensive understanding of historical source water quality, water quality trends and the relationships to current and anticipated future regulations, Stantec will combine those tasks with the Source Water Quality Documentation sub-task to provide a complete picture of how water quality affects treatment and regulatory compliance, now and in the planning horizon.

B. SWTP Existing Process Evaluation:

Stantec will evaluate the existing facilities and their ability to adequately treat and discharge high quality drinking water to the City of Clovis. Stantec will provide a narrative explaining the treatment process of the plant from the canal source water to discharge into the distribution system, estimate capacity under a range of raw water quality conditions using the USEPA/AWWA Comprehensive Performance Evaluation guidelines, and evaluate and identify limitations in the process that negatively impact the ability of the facility to treat

22.5 mgd of water reliably.

The process evaluation shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

1. Control Structure and Intake Screens. Stantec will evaluate the intake and control structure on the Enterprise Canal for capacity constraints and for sustainability. This evaluation will address long-term concerns, such as canal settlement, organics, and contaminant warnings. Enhancements to the intake screening process will be considered to mitigate seasonal influent quality issues.

2. Pretreatment Process. Stantec will evaluate the pretreatment system process and its ability to treat water with the water quality constraints identified in Task A. The evaluation shall consider the City’s existing operation of the SWTP, the limitations due to design of the pretreatment basin and wet well, bypass requirements, compatibility with the existing membrane filtration, and other ancillary items impacting the design and operations of the pretreatment system. Finally, site constraints shall be evaluated based on the limited availability for land within the existing SWTP footprint. Stantec will provide three alternative solutions to provide a reliable pretreatment process with a cost benefit analysis and recommended solution. The alternative process to be evaluated include but are not limited to:
a. Plate Settlers
b. Dissolved Air Flotation
c. Disk Filters between the existing Actiflo process and the microfiltration (MF) system

3. Membrane Facilities. In combination with the pretreatment process evaluation, Stantec will evaluate the MF facilities, MF pump station, and ancillary facilities for their ability to meet the needs of the SWTP to reliably provide 22.5 MGD. In combination with the source water quality documentation, Stantec will assess how the performance of the MF system varies with changes in source water quality, particularly during high turbidity, algae and other unusual events. This work will also include an assessment of how performance, particularly flux and specific flux decline, would change with pretreatment.
184
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.

City of Clovis – RFP – SWTP Evaluation Project Page 11

4. Sludge Handling Facilities. Stantec will evaluate the sludge handling facilities, including the Pretreatment Sludge Pump Station, the Residual Drying Beds, and the Decant Pump Station. This task will include a review of the existing system operations and potential efficiencies to be gained in the receiving and drying process.

The SWTP may benefit from a thickening process between the washwater treatment unit and the drying beds to reduce the amount of water processed. Multiple technologies are available for dewatering sludge, including centrifuges, screw presses and belt presses. In addition to evaluating the existing sludge handling facilities, Stantec will evaluate options for thickening and mechanical dewatering of the plant’s sludge.

5. Clear Well, Disinfection, and Effluent Pump Station. Stantec will evaluate the existing clear well and effluent pump station operations based on available SCADA information. This includes evaluating the overall capacity of the clear well as compared to the treatment plant and existing effluent pump station discharges. This analysis shall validate the 2017 Water System Master Plan storage tank sizing and provide considerations for future system operations.

The existing clear well is used to achieve disinfection CT credit as well as for operational storage and (presumably) emergency storage. The 2017 Water System Master Plan recommended an additional

3.5 million gallons of storage at the plant. Stantec will review available diurnal demands to estimate operational storage requirements; obtain flow, temperature, pH and chlorine residual data to determine CT requirements; and work with City staff to develop scenarios to estimate the need for emergency storage. Stantec will also evaluate the potential benefits of using part of one tank for CT credit and the remainder of that tank and all of the other tank for operational and emergency storage.

6. Stantec will evaluate the potential to alter the process between MF and the clear well to include a removal mechanism for seasonal taste, odor, and color. Three alternative solutions for taste, odor and color treatment with a cost benefit analysis and recommended solution will be prepared. At least one of the options will include ozonation, as well as options for other applicable technologies, to meet the needs of the plant and City customers.

Stantec will evaluate the primary T&O technologies available to constructed between the MF filters and the clear well: ozone, ozone enhanced by peroxide, and UV enhanced by peroxide. Because both ozone and UV can also be used for disinfection the impacts on use of the clear well for CT credit will be included in the evaluation.

In addition to T&O control between MF and the clear well, Stantec will evaluate pre-ozonation and intermediate ozonation. The hydraulics of the plant between the intake and the MF feed pump suction are limited. However, there may be enough “hydraulic space” to fit either pre-ozonation ahead of pretreatment or intermediate ozonation between pretreatment and the MF feed pumps without needing to pump the water again.

To aid in the evaluation of T&O control alternatives, Stantec will sample MF filtered water for UV transmittance (UVT) to determine the size of UV reactors needed for UV/peroxide treatment.

Stantec will also conduct ozone bench scale testing of raw, settled (in the laboratory) and MF filtered water to develop ozone demand/decay parameters and determine geosmin removal rates at three doses. The test results can be used to size new ozonation facilities. 185

Deliverables:
 Historical and future source water quality and regulatory summary TM  Existing process performance summary TM
 Ozone bench scale testing summary TM
 Treatment, clear well storage and effluent pump station alternatives evaluation TM TASK 3: SWTP FUTURE SYSTEM EVALUATION
The future system evaluation of the SWTP shall include a review of the following items, and their impacts to the existing system as evaluated in the previous task:

A. Source Water Quality and Quantity Changes:

Stantec will evaluate the existing facilities based on the future SWTP capacity needs. Improvement recommendations will be made to meet the needs of the existing system, and improvements to accommodate future growth demands. In addition, Stantec will consider source water quality changes if the City were to construct a new source water pipe directly from the headworks on the Kings River.

B. SWTP Scalability and Site Constraints:

Stantec will evaluate the scalability of the existing process trains, as outlined in Task 2.C., for their ability to meet a design capacity of 45 MGD and a possible expansion to 65 MGD in the future. This includes evaluating potential storage needs at the clear well, and evaluation of the site to determine the most reasonable location of the planned future facilities. Based on the improvement recommendations of Task

3.A., Stantec will provide a tentative site layout for the existing and proposed SWTP will be provided.

Should additional land be needed for site expansion, Stantec shall work with City staff to identify the land needed and provide for the associated infrastructure required to meet the expanded site requirements.

In addition to the processes discussed in Task 2, Stantec will evaluate submerged membranes (with or without pretreatment) and granular media filtration in parallel with the MF filters.

C. Upcoming Rules and Regulations:

In combination with Task 2.A., Stantec will evaluate the existing and planned plant treatment process for conformance with upcoming rules and regulations regarding water treatment. This includes the potential for revisions to the Total Coliform Rule, the Lead and Copper Rule, Microplastics, and other various changes to the California Safe Drinking Water Act. Stantec will also identify how modifications to the SWTP may impact the current operating Permit. Meetings with regulators, as necessary, shall be conducted to understand and plan for potential changes that may occur, and those changes shall be considered in the planning process.

D. Project Alternatives
Stantec will develop up to five alternative process and site combinations that would meet the needs of the existing system and be expandable to 45 mgd. In support of these alternatives, Stantec will prepare process design criteria, process flow diagrams, and hydraulic analyses to determine how processes would fit within the existing plant hydraulic profile. Class 5 opinions of probable construction costs, annual operation and maintenance costs, and lifecycle present worth estimates will be prepared for all alternatives. As a means of supporting/verifying the cost opinions, Stantec will provide references for recent, actual project construction costs for similar new or upgraded processes and facilities.

Deliverables:

City of Clovis – RFP – SWTP Evaluation Project Page 13
 Tasks 3.A. and 3.C. combined with Task 2 deliverables  Combined process and site alternatives evaluation per Tasks 3.B. and 3.D., including cost estimates TASK 4: CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
Based on the findings in Tasks 2 and 3, Stantec shall develop a phased Capital Improvement Program identifying the improvements required to meet the existing service goals and long-term treatment needs of the SWTP. Improvement recommendations will be grouped in 5-year increments (or other increments as approved by the City), with a 30-year planning horizon. Concepts for the selected alternatives will be updated, and Class 4 cost opinions will be prepared. All unit costs will be provided in the report, as well as being benchmarked to an Engineering News Record Construction Cost Index.

Costs will be developed in accordance with the Association for the Advancement of Cost Engineering Class 5 estimates. The analysis will also include an existing and future benefit cost analysis consistent with AB1600.

The implementation of the CIP program will connect with the funding strategy and CIP cash flow for the City.

The evaluation of sequencing will be made on an objective basis using a scaled matrix approach to score each project based on how closely it aligns with project’s objectives. The objectives, such as regulatory compliance, expansion of plant capacity, water quality improvement, and improved operability will be prioritized, and Stantec will work with the City to prioritize capital improvements within the project objective categories.

Deliverables:
 Tables and Figures as necessary for City staff to review and understand the evaluation and recommendations.
 Capital Improvement Program with existing and future benefit analysis.

TASK 5: REPORT
Stantec will consolidate tabular and graphic deliverables, technical memorandums, and other various documents developed during the project into a cohesive and logical planning document. Stantec will submit a draft outline for the report prior to completion of the text for review and approval by City staff. A draft version of the report will be submitted for City staff review and comment, with a final draft and final version submitted after receiving and addressing the comments.

Deliverables:
 5 hard copies and an electronic PDF version of the Draft Report.  Electronic PDF version of the Final Draft Report.
 5 signed hard copies and an electronic PDF version of the Final Report.

TASK 6: HIGH LEVEL CONDITION ASSESSMENT
Concurrently with the Surface Water Treatment Plant Evaluation in Task 2, Stantec will conduct a high-level facilities evaluation to assess the condition of the existing plant infrastructure from the perspectives of both function and condition, and to assist in the development of project alternatives.

The two overall tasks will be coordinated to understand whether condition of equipment or facilities affects process performance. Moreover, if the process evaluation suggests that a facility is not suitable for continued use, incorporation of the facility in the alternatives will not be considered. Additionally, if a facility is deemed functional, but the high-level condition assessment deems these facilities may have underlying concerns that warrant more detailed assessment, the costs of the assessment and timeline will be considered as a potential separate project for the CIP.
187
AGENDA ITEM NO. 19.

City of Clovis – RFP – SWTP Evaluation Project Page 14
E. Major Mechanical Equipment
Stantec will visually inspect major mechanical equipment, such as large valves, pumps, piping, chemical feed systems, and MF equipment; discuss performance and maintenance and repair history with City staff; and estimate the remaining life of these equipment items and which items require major repair or immediate replacement.

F. Power Supply
Stantec will review existing single line drawings to confirm the adequacy of the power supplies and identify any code compliance concerns or vulnerabilities to power failure. If new processes are proposed, Stantec will develop concepts for supplying power to them, possibly including a need to upgrade the main plant switchgear and service, if the power requirements are high.

G. I&C Architecture and Equipment
Stantec will evaluate the current I&C system to assess whether current equipment and systems will become obsolete in the near future or are incompatible with future processes under consideration. The current trends in control system architecture are use of smart analyzers, MCCs and actuators, more reliable open communications networks, hot standby PLCs, and larger and faster processors. Most equipment on the market today has multiple communications protocol capabilities (analog and discrete I/O, Ethernet, Modbus Plus, Profibus, etc.), but the communications networks in existing plants are not always capable of taking advantage of the diagnostics and programming capabilities. Stantec will evaluate the types of communication used along with other relevant information and assess whether there are enough instruments in a given area that can use the same, more advanced communications protocol and if it could be advantageous to combine them onto a network instead of hard-wiring to PLC I/O cards.

Stantec will evaluate the current control system architecture, develop alternatives for improved performance and consistency, and make recommendations for upgrades to be included in the CIP. This will include the types and numbers of PLCs, I/O types, communications protocols, and the communications systems, such as fiber optics, to improve the system.

Deliverables:
 Operations Staff Meeting agenda, supporting materials, and meeting summary  Draft and Final High Level Facilities Evaluation TM
 Half-Day meeting with District staff to discuss the results of the High Level Facilities Evaluation results

REVIEW OF DELIVERABLES
The City will provide oversight of the preparation of the documents required for the evaluation packages. All work products and deliverables shall be prepared in accordance with the latest regulations, policies, procedures, manuals and standards.

In case of conflict, ambiguities, discrepancies, errors or omissions among the reference materials obtained by the Consultant from other agencies, the Consultant shall submit the matter to City of Clovis for clarification.

AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
In 2001, the City Council approved amendments to the General Plan and the Herndon Shepherd Specific Plan to allow quadrant intersections at Herndon/Willow and at Herndon/Peach. At the time, the quadrant intersection design was chosen as the best option to address the anticipated future traffic conditions of the Herndon Avenue Corridor. Staff has reevaluated the quadrant intersection concept and has concluded that due to the impacts on drivers and better alternatives to address traffic flow, the quadrant intersections should not be implemented.

On June 23, 2022, the Planning Commission considered the elimination of the quadrant intersections and voted to recommend their elimination to Council. While formal amendments to the General Plan or Herndon Shepherd Specific Plan are not required, the Planning Commission and staff are recommending that the City Council take specific action to clarify that the quadrant intersection design will not be implemented.

If Council approves the attached resolution (Attachment 1) to eliminate the implementation of the quadrant intersections, then staff recommends Council also approve the attached ordinance amendment (Attachment 2) revising various sections of the Municipal Code to remove references to the quadrant intersection development fee. The proposed revisions would result in the elimination of the development impact fee specific for the quadrant intersection and the fee will no longer be collected once the ordinance takes effect thirty days after adoption.

BACKGROUND
On October 27, 2000, TJKM Transportation Consultants (TJKM) completed the Herndon Avenue Specific Study (2000 Study) for the Council of Fresno County Governments (COG). COG contracted for the 2000 Study to assist the County of Fresno, City of Fresno, and City of Clovis in planning for the future by analyzing the current and future traffic conditions of Herndon Avenue from State Route 99 to Academy Avenue. The 2000 Study was a result of a need to provide an efficient east-west corridor in the urban area.

The 2000 Study concluded that the majority of intersections on Herndon Avenue would operate at a Level of Service (LOS) between D and F in 2020, and recommended quadrant intersection design elements to improve future LOS throughout the corridor. There were four quadrant intersections recommended in the City of Fresno and three recommended in Clovis, which include the intersections of Hendon/Willow, Hendon/Peach, and Herndon/Clovis. Quadrant intersections are designed to improve projected levels of service in a corridor by eliminating left turns from the subject intersections. Eliminating left turns lengthens the traffic signal cycles for through traffic at the major intersections and is intended to allow traffic to flow more efficiently.

The left turns are moved to smaller satellite intersections where impact to through traffic progression is less.

On December 11, 2000, the City Council accepted the recommendations of the 2000 Study and initiated General Plan Amendment 2001-06, to amend the General Plan and Herndon Shepherd Specific Plan to incorporate as an option, the quadrant intersections in Clovis and authorized a more detailed study by TJKM on the Herndon Avenue corridor within Clovis (Clovis Study). 199
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.

On July 9, 2001, the City Council considered the Clovis Study and determined that use of a quadrant intersection at Herndon/Clovis was not necessary and approved GPA 2001-06, which amended the General Plan and Herndon Shepherd Specific Plan to permit, but not mandate, the use of the quadrant intersection at Herndon/Willow and Herndon/Peach. Attachment 3 presents exhibits showing how traffic will flow if the quadrant intersections are implemented at Hendon/Willow and Herndon/Peach.

The quadrant intersections were originally intended to be fully implemented within 10 to 15 years of the 2000 study; however, they have not been fully implemented. The City of Fresno never installed any of the recommended quadrant intersections, including their components of the Herndon/Willow quadrant intersection. They have no intention of completing those improvements and are not supportive of converting that intersection to the quadrant intersection.

Fresno is supportive of Clovis eliminating the implementation of the quadrant intersections (Attachment 4).

Earlier this year, City staff commissioned a new Herndon Avenue Corridor Study by Peters Engineering Group (2022 Study) to evaluate the continued viability and benefit of using the quadrant intersections in Clovis (Attachment 5). The 2022 Study, dated June 1, 2022, noted that while the quadrant intersections could still work to improve traffic flow for the main corridor, the following concerns were identified:
 The quadrant intersections considerably add to vehicle miles traveled, conflicting with recently adopted State laws and City policies related to vehicle miles traveled. The implementation of the quadrant intersections is expected to result in approximately 11,000 additional vehicle miles traveled each day by 2042.
 The elimination of left-turns at the intersections can confuse drivers. Quadrant intersections are rare and none exist in the Clovis/Fresno area.
 Emerging traffic management technologies, such as adaptive traffic signal control, offer equivalent or better alternatives to the quadrant intersections. Adaptive traffic signal control adjusts the signal timing based on real-time traffic conditions, thereby, optimizing corridor performance. City staff has secured competitive federal grant funding through the Highway Safety Improvement Program and through the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program to implement adaptive traffic signal technology on Herndon Avenue from Willow Avenue to Locan Avenue.
 Other intersections will operate with less delay without the quadrant intersections. The quadrant intersections reroute the traffic flow to satellite intersections and side streets.

Eliminating them will alleviate the traffic impacts to those areas.  Substantial queues will occur at many of the study intersections whether or not the quadrant intersections are implemented.
 The costs of fully implementing the quadrant intersections are substantially more than modern technologies and there are limitations on fully implementing the quadrant intersections, particularly at Willow/Herndon due to the City of Fresno’s lack of participation. 200
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.

Also, as stated above, City staff has secured grant funds to implement the adaptive traffic signal technology.

General Plan and Herndon-Shepherd Specific Plan Polices The quadrant intersections are not a requirement in the General Plan or the Herndon-Shepherd Specific Plan. When the City adopted the 2014 General Plan, the option to utilize the quadrant intersection at Willow/Herndon and Peach/Herndon did not carry over with the new Circulation Element. The General Plan Circulation Element is now silent on the development of the quadrant intersections.

The Herndon-Shepherd Specific Plan Element addresses the quadrant intersections as follows:

Section 4.3.2 Expressways
Quadrant design intersections, as depicted in Section 5.3.2 are permitted at Herndon Avenue intersections of Willow, and Peach Avenues.

Section 5.3.2 Implementation
Two Herndon Avenue intersections, Willow, and Peach Avenue may be constructed with quadrant design intersections…
Since there are no mandates in any City plan to build the quadrant intersections, there are no plan amendments or revisions required. To move forward with the quadrant intersections or to eliminate them is a policy decision on how to address the future traffic flows on Herndon Avenue.

As stated above, the 2022 Study shows that in general Herndon Avenue traffic flow can be improved by the quadrant intersections. In 2042, the 2022 Study indicates that the level of service is diminished without the quadrant intersections. Nevertheless, there are numerous downsides to implementing the quadrant intersections, as noted. Further, implementation of the adaptive traffic signal technology will substantially improve the current and projected conditions.

The City of Fresno has not implemented the quadrant design concept west of Willow on Herndon, but they have successfully implemented adaptive signal technology. Due to the issues raised and the viable alternative in lieu of the quadrant intersection design, it is City staff’s recommendation to not proceed with implementing the quadrant intersections.

Development Impact Fee
In 2002, the City adopted a development impact fee for the costs of constructing the quadrant intersections. To date, the fee has been used to provide reimbursements to the developer of the Target shopping center at the northeast corner of Herndon and Willow for improvements constructed at this location that partially implemented the quadrant design. All eligible funds were prioritized to the developer. As with any development impact fee program, reimbursements are subject to funding availability and developers are not guaranteed to receive full reimbursement.

If the quadrant intersections will no longer be implemented, there will not be a basis to continue collecting the quadrant intersection development impact fee and staff is proposing an ordinance 201
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.
amendment for City Council approval to remove the fee. Any remaining funds collected will be dispersed as reimbursement to the developer of the Target shopping center.

CEQA
These items are exempt from the California Environmental Act (“CEQA) for the following independent reasons:
 Common Sense Exemption, CEQA Guidelines § 15061, there is no potential for the activity to have a significant effect on the environment. No physical change will be made to the environment. The status quo will remain as is. There is no impact from not implementing the quadrant intersections. The activity is overdue and no longer viable.  Not a project, Pub. Resources Code § 21065, CEQA Guidelines § 15378, continuing administrative or maintenance activity. The activity is a review of existing City policy and considered general policy and procedures making.
 Ministerial project, Pub. Resources Code § 21080, CEQA Guidelines §§ 15268, 15300.1, 15369, the activity has little discretion. Based upon current information and change in circumstances, the activity is no longer viable and not feasible to implement at this time.

FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact to the City if Council approves the elimination of the quadrant intersections and the associated development impact fee. If Council decides to keep the quadrant intersections, the development impact fee will remain in place and continue to provide funding based on current land acquisition and construction costs for the completion of the quadrant intersections.

REASON FOR RECOMMENDATION
Due to the reasons discussed above, the Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of the attached resolution and if approved, staff also recommends approval of the attached ordinance amendment. These actions will eliminate the implementation of the quadrant intersections and eliminate the associated development impact fee.

ACTIONS FOLLOWING APPROVAL
Staff will cease collection of the development impact fee for the quadrant intersection once the adopted ordinance is effective thirty days after adoption.

Section 3 Subsection 7.7.07 shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

7.7.07 Major street development fees.
(a) Fee basis and application. Except as noted below, all fees will be calculated on the basis of estimated total construction and right-of-way acquisition costs of the relevant improvements within the service area divided by the total of the service area’s factored acreage. The major street development fee rates shall be established by resolution adopted by the City Council, based upon the justification reports, as those reports may be subsequently amended or supplemented, and upon a determination that there is a reasonable relationship between the amount of the fee and the cost of the public improvement, or portion thereof, attributable to development of which the major street development fees are imposed. The major street development fees shall be included in the Master Development Fee Schedule and shall include an administrative charge, not to exceed the percentage shown in the Master Development Fee Schedule, to cover the cost of the City’s record keeping and handling, except that if sufficient fees are held in the particular fund and general interest sufficient to cover such costs, the administrative charge will be taken from such interest. The major street development fees shall be based on the following:
(1) Residential projects shall pay major street development fees per dwelling unit. A dwelling unit shall be defined as a room or suite of rooms which is occupied exclusively by one family (adjoining suites shall be considered separate units) for living and sleeping purposes, including a single-family residence, mobile home unit, apartment, townhouse, flat or condominium.

Equivalent dwelling unit (EDU) shall mean, in general, a unit of development that is approximately equivalent in impact to the base unit as established in the justification reports on file with the City.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report presents the results of traffic analyses on the Herndon Avenue corridor between Willow Avenue and State Route (SR) 168 in Clovis, California. The purpose of the analyses is to compare the operational characteristics of the corridor with and without the quad intersection concept.

The City of Clovis General Plan classifies Herndon Avenue as an expressway between Willow Avenue and SR 168. The Herndon-Shepherd Specific Plan was amended in accordance with the recommendations of City of Clovis Memorandum dated July 9, 2001 (based on the Herndon Avenue Specific Study dated November 3, 2000) to allow implementation of a quad intersection concept on Herndon Avenue at Willow Avenue and at Peach Avenue based on projected year 2020 congestion that has not occurred to the degree predicted. The quad intersection concept was intended to improve traffic flow on Herndon Avenue by eliminating conflicting turning movements (primarily left turns) at the major intersections and converting them to a series of right-turn movements, if possible. To do so, a bypass road in one or more quadrants adjacent to an intersection is required, along with at least two additional signalized intersections at each location. Each of the three signalized intersections comprising a planned quad intersection requires fewer traffic signal phases, potentially facilitating improved coordination of the traffic signals in the eastbound and westbound directions on Herndon Avenue despite the requirement for additional signalized intersections on Herndon Avenue.

The quad intersection concept has been partially implemented in the northeast quadrant of the intersection of Willow and Herndon Avenues with construction of the Spruce Avenue / Helm Avenue bypass road and signalization at the Willow/Spruce and Helm/Herndon intersections, but left turns have not been eliminated at the intersection of Willow and Herndon Avenues. The roadways comprising the quad intersection at Peach Avenue are also generally existing, but the additional traffic signals have not been constructed and left turns have not been eliminated at the intersection of Peach and Herndon Avenues. The following intersections would require signalization and geometric modifications to implement quad intersections:
• the existing intersection of Herndon Avenue and the eastern Peach Avenue, and • the existing intersection of the new Peach Avenue (west) and the old Peach Avenue (east) approximately 800 feet south of Herndon Avenue
The City of Fresno has eliminated plans for the implementation of the quad intersection concept on the west side of Willow Avenue and has not implemented the concept at any City of Fresno intersections.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Continued)
Willow and Peach Avenues, and is considering altering the configuration of the intersection of Herndon and Helm Avenues to allow southbound-to-eastbound left turns.

This report includes traffic counts and analysis of the following intersections:

1. Chestnut and Herndon Avenues

2. Willow and Herndon Avenues

3. Helm and Herndon Avenues

4. Peach and Herndon Avenues (western signalized)

5. Peach and Herndon Avenues (eastern one-way stop at old Peach Avenue)

6. Villa and Herndon Avenues

7. Minnewawa and Herndon Avenues

8. DeWitt and Herndon Avenues

9. Willow and Spruce Avenues

10. Willow and Magill Avenues

11. Cedar and Herndon Avenues

12. Maple and Herndon Avenues
The study time periods are the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours determined between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Intersection and arterial corridor operational analyses were performed for the following scenarios:

1. Year 2042 conditions with quad intersections;

2. Year 2042 conditions without quad intersections.

Standard traffic engineering practices and methods were employed to establish the existing and future traffic volumes, and to analyze the traffic conditions that are expected to occur in the future for each of the analysis scenarios. The conclusions and recommendations resulting from the study are summarized below.

The analyses generally confirm the conclusions of the Herndon Avenue Specific Study, specifically that the quad intersection concept could provide better arterial operations and progression along Herndon Avenue by eliminating left-turn movements at major intersections and generally converting them to a series of right-turn and through movements.

The average speeds during the peak hours on Herndon Avenue in the year 2042 between Chestnut Avenue and DeWitt Avenue are expected to range from 23 to 31 miles per hour, including time spent sitting at red lights. If the quad intersection concept is not implemented, the average speeds are expected to drop to a range of 11 to 28 miles per hour.

The analyses indicate that intersections not on Herndon Avenue, such as Willow/Spruce Avenues and Willow/Magill Avenues, are likely to operate with less delay if quad intersections are not implemented because fewer trips will be diverted through those intersections and to the bypass roads.

The reduction of vehicle miles traveled (VMT) is currently a high priority for the State of California per SB 743. It is estimated that implementation of the quad intersection configuration on Herndon Avenue at Willow Avenue and at Peach Avenue would result in approximately an additional 11,000 vehicle miles traveled per day in the year 2042.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY (Continued)
the-art coordination systems, such as adaptive signal control technology that adjusts signal timing in real time, should be implemented to optimize traffic progression.

It should be noted that, since the roadways comprising the quad intersection configurations are generally existing, removing the quad intersections from the Herndon-Shepherd Specific Plan does not necessarily preclude consideration and implementation of quad intersections in the future based on actual observed conditions. The decision not to implement quad intersections may be considered as an indefinite postponement of the concept that could be revisited in the future.

Considering the factors mentioned above, as well as the potential for driver confusion and the costs of implementation, it is recommended that the quad intersection concept be postponed indefinitely or eliminated from the Herndon-Shepherd Specific Plan. 240

Dear Mr. Burnett:

1.0 INTRODUCTION
This report presents the results of traffic analyses on the Herndon Avenue corridor between Willow Avenue and State Route (SR) 168 in Clovis, California. The purpose of the analyses is to compare the operational characteristics of the corridor with and without the quad intersection concept.

2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Clovis General Plan classifies Herndon Avenue as an expressway between Willow Avenue and SR 168. The Herndon-Shepherd Specific Plan was amended in accordance with the recommendations of City of Clovis Memorandum dated July 9, 2001 (based on the Herndon Avenue Specific Study dated November 3, 2000) to allow implementation of a quad intersection concept on Herndon Avenue at Willow Avenue and at Peach Avenue based on projected year 2020 congestion that has not occurred to the degree predicted. The quad intersection concept was intended to improve traffic flow on Herndon Avenue by eliminating conflicting turning movements (primarily left turns) at the major intersections and converting them to a series of right-turn movements, if possible. To do so, a bypass road in one or more quadrants adjacent to an intersection is required, along with at least two additional signalized intersections at each location. Each of the three signalized intersections comprising a planned quad intersection requires fewer traffic signal phases, potentially facilitating improved coordination of the traffic signals in the eastbound and westbound directions on Herndon Avenue despite the requirement for additional signalized intersections on Herndon Avenue.

Table 1 presents a summary of movements that would be eliminated with implementation of quad intersections, and how those movements would be accomplished with the quad intersections in effect. Table 1 also indicates whether the alternate movements can be accomplished without requiring left turns at any of the intersections. 241

6.0 LEVEL OF SERVICE
The Transportation Research Board Highway Capacity Manual, 6 th Edition, (HCM) defines
level of service (LOS) as, “A quantitative stratification of a performance measure or measures that represent quality of service, measured on an A-F scale, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions from the traveler’s perspective and LOS F the worst.” Automobile mode LOS characteristics for both unsignalized and signalized intersections are presented in Tables 2 and 3.

“All City intersections and roadway segments shall operate at a LOS D or better under the near-term conditions, unless a finding of overriding consideration was adopted in the General Plan EIR. Under long-term conditions, all City intersections and roadway segments shall operate at a LOS D or better, except for the roadway segments adopted in the General Plan EIR to operate at LOS E or F. Exceptions to this standard may be allowed on a case by case basis where lower levels of service would result in other public benefits, such as:
a) Preserving agriculture or open space land
b) Preserving the rural/historic character of a neighborhood c) Preserving or creating a pedestrian-friendly environment in Old Town or mixed-use village districts
d) Avoiding adverse impacts to pedestrians, cyclists, and transit riders e) Where right-of-way constraints would make capacity expansion infeasible”

7.0 LANE CONFIGURATIONS AND INTERSECTION CONTROL
The existing lane configurations and intersection control at the study intersections are illustrated in Figure 2, Existing Lane Configurations and Intersection Control. The lane configurations assumed for the year 2042 analysis scenarios, based on information presented in the Herndon Avenue Specific Study dated November 3, 2000 and the City of Clovis Memorandum dated July 9, 2001, are presented in the following figures:

Figure 3: Year 2042 Lane Configurations and Intersection Control With Quad Intersections
Figure 4: Year 2042 Lane Configurations and Intersection Control Without Quad Intersections

8.0 EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Existing traffic volumes were determined by performing manual turning movement counts at the study intersections between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and between 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. on a weekday. In addition, 24-hour road segment counts were performed at the following locations:
• Herndon Avenue between Helm and Peach Avenues
• Herndon Avenue between Peach and Villa Avenues
• Herndon Avenue between Villa and DeWitt Avenues
• Helm Avenue between Herndon and Spruce Avenues
• Peach Avenue between Herndon Avenue and Magill Avenue • Spruce Avenue between Helm Avenue and Peach Avenue.

The traffic count data sheets are presented in Appendix A and include the dates the counts were performed. The existing peak-hour turning movement volumes are presented in Figure 5, Existing Peak-Hour Traffic Volumes.

Between Willow Avenue and State Route 168, Clovis, California Page 6 The traffic volumes were compared with available counts performed prior to the COVID pandemic and it was determined that peak-hour traffic volumes have returned to approximately pre-pandemic conditions. Therefore, no adjustment to compensate for the pandemic was applied.

9.0 YEAR 2042 TRAFFIC VOLUMES

9.1 Travel Model
The Fresno Council of Governments (COG) maintains a travel model that is typically used to forecast future traffic volumes. Year 2042 traffic volumes were projected using the Increment Method, which is described in a document available from COG entitled “Model Steering Committee Recommended Procedures for Using Traffic Projections from the Fresno COG Travel Model dated December 2002.” In general, the Increment Method forecasts future traffic volumes by estimating the additional trips that will result from regional growth as calculated by the model between the base year and the horizon year. The additional trips are added to the existing traffic volumes, resulting in a forecast of the future traffic volumes.

The Fresno County travel model data output is presented in Appendix B.

9.2 Vacant Sites and Land Uses
A review of the trips projected by the travel model to be generated as a result of eventual development of vacant sites in the vicinity of the Herndon Avenue corridor suggests that the local trips may be underestimated by the model. Vacant sites in the vicinity of the Herndon Avenue corridor, including those currently being developed, are indicated on Figure 6, Vacant Sites, and are summarized in Table 4. The assumed development is also presented in the table and is generally based on an assumed floor area ratio of 25 percent for office and commercial uses.

10.0 OPERATIONAL ANALYSES

10.1 Intersection Level of Service Analysis
The intersection levels of service were determined using the computer program Synchro 11, which incorporates HCM procedures for calculating levels of service. The intersection analysis sheets are presented in Appendix C.

Tables 6 and 7 present the results of the intersection analyses. For signalized intersections, the overall intersection LOS and the average delay per vehicle are presented. For one-way stop-controlled intersections, the HCM does not define an overall intersection LOS; therefore, the average delay and LOS for the approach with the greatest delay is presented.

Delays and LOS worse than the target LOS D are presented in bold type and are underlined.

10.2 Intersection Queuing Analysis
SimTraffic microsimulation software was utilized to estimate the maximum queues that would occur at the study intersections. The maximum queues were determined based on an average of 10 simulations with a seed time of 10 minutes and a run time of 60 minutes. The maximum queues are presented in Tables 8 and 9, along with the existing storage capacity on each movement. The storage capacities are based on measurements from available aerial photographs. Maximum queues that exceed the storage capacity are indicated in bold type and are underlined. The queuing and blocking reports are presented in Appendix D.

Notes and abbreviations for Tables 8 and 9:
+ Connects to a two-way left-turn lane that provides additional storage. # Two through lanes within the noted distance and one through lane beyond that distance.

S: Shared movement
DNS: Does not stop
TBD: To be designed

11.0 DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONAL ANALYSES

11.1 Year 2042 With Quad Intersections
The following four intersections are expected to operate below the target LOS D in the year 2042 with the quad intersection concept implemented:
• Cedar and Herndon Avenues
• Chestnut and Herndon Avenues
• Minnewawa and Herndon Avenues
• Willow and Magill Avenues
Maximum queues exceeding the storage capacity are expected to occur in various turn lanes (left turn and right turn) at several intersections, and extension of turn lanes may be required in the future. Since the SimTraffic analysis takes into account spillback and blocking of adjacent lanes, the greatest concern with respect to the queuing analysis is spillback in a through lane that backs up to, and blocks, the previous upstream intersection. This condition 253
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.

Herndon Avenue Corridor Study June 1, 2022
Between Willow Avenue and State Route 168, Clovis, California Page 14 is likely to occur on southbound Willow Avenue where maximum queues from Magill Avenue are expected to back up into Herndon Avenue and on southbound Willow Avenue where maximum queues from Herndon Avenue are expected to back up into Spruce Avenue.

This condition is also expected to occur on northbound Willow Avenue where maximum queues from Herndon Avenue are expected to back up into Magill Avenue.

The average peak-hour speeds on Herndon Avenue between DeWitt and Cedar Avenues, which consider time spent sitting at red lights, are expected to range from 19 to 31 miles per hour (MPH) in the eastbound direction and are expected to be 25 MPH in the westbound direction.

Since the City of Fresno did not implement the quad intersection concept northwest of the intersection of Willow and Herndon Avenues, and the intersection at Peach Avenue would have only one bypass road, the primary goal of eliminating all left-turn movements across Herndon Avenue cannot be achieved (refer to Table 1). Furthermore, in a highly commercial area, the bypass roads are also required to provide access to commercial properties, resulting in a high concentration of trips and turning movements on the bypass roads in addition to the trips being rerouted from the left-turn movements.

11.2 Year 2042 Without Quad Intersections
The following four intersections are expected to operate below the target LOS D in the year 2042 without the quad intersection concept implemented:
• Willow and Herndon Avenues
• Peach and Herndon Avenues (east traffic on Herndon Avenue does not stop) • Minnewawa and Herndon Avenues (traffic on Herndon Avenue does not stop) • Willow and Magill Avenues
The following four City of Clovis intersections are expected to operate with less delay without the quad intersection concept than with the quad intersections:
• Helm and Herndon Avenues
• Peach and Herndon Avenues (eastern one-way stop, traffic on Herndon Avenue does not stop)
• Minnewawa and Herndon Avenues (one-way stop, traffic on Herndon Avenue does not stop)
• Willow and Spruce Avenues
The signalized intersections listed above are expected to operate with less delay without the quad intersections primarily because fewer trips would be diverted to those intersections (refer to Table 1). The one-way stop intersections exhibit substantially less delay because traffic on Herndon Avenue is not required to stop.

Maximum queues exceeding the storage capacity are expected to occur in various turn lanes (left turn and right turn) at several intersections, and extension of turn lanes may be required in the future. Spillback is likely to occur on all four legs approaching the intersection of Willow and Herndon Avenues. Spillback is also likely to occur on southbound Willow Avenue where maximum queues from Magill Avenue are expected to back up into Herndon 254
AGENDA ITEM NO. 20.

Herndon Avenue Corridor Study June 1, 2022
Between Willow Avenue and State Route 168, Clovis, California Page 15 Avenue. Spillback is also expected to occur on westbound Herndon Avenue where maximum queues from Helm Avenue are expected to back up to Peach Avenue.

The intent of the quad intersection configuration is to eliminate left-turn movements from Herndon Avenue and cause them to occur as right turns, and as right or left turns at other intersections, so that fewer trips will conflict with the through movements on Herndon Avenue. Therefore, the average peak-hour speeds on Herndon Avenue without the quad intersections are naturally expected to be less than those with quad intersections. The average peak-hour speeds on Herndon Avenue between DeWitt and Cedar Avenues, which consider time spent sitting at red lights, are expected to range from 16 to 26 MPH in the eastbound direction and are expected to range from 14 to 21 MPH in the westbound direction.

11.3 Other Considerations
Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Induced Travel
The City Guidelines and the State of California Governor’s Office of Planning and Research Technical Advisory on Evaluating Transportation Impacts in CEQA dated December 2018 (Technical Advisory) provide guidance relative to analyzing VMT for purposes of determining transportation impacts in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Under Senate Bill (SB) 743, CEQA requirements have been updated to identify vehicle miles traveled (VMT) as the most appropriate measure of transportation impacts. In general, projects that increase VMT by causing vehicles to travel longer distances per capita, that increase the total regional VMT, or that induce an increase in vehicle travel may cause a significant transportation impact as defined by CEQA. The quad intersection concept causes drivers to travel longer distances. Table 14 presents a description of the turning movements that would be altered by the quad intersection concept, the number of vehicles making the movement, and the additional distance traveled. 255

CORRIDOR TOTAL: 10,868
* The daily turning-movement volume was estimated considering that 16 percent of the daily road segment trips occur during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours combined based on the traffic counts.

Table 14 indicates that the additional distance required to make certain turning movements with implementation of the quad intersection concept is expected to result in almost 11,000 additional vehicle miles traveled each day in the year 2042 as compared to the standard intersection configuration that generally exists today.

Implementation of the quad intersection concept could potentially be considered a capacityincreasing project that, for purposes of CEQA, would be considered as to induce additional vehicle travel. The induced-travel calculator suggested by Caltrans (available at this link:
https://ncst.ucdavis.edu/research-product/induced-travel-calculator) does not contain sitespecific data and is limited to estimates based on lane additions. Therefore, the specific effects of induced travel are not considered in these analyses, but it may be reasonable to assume that the average speeds presented in Tables 10 and 11 would actually be slightly less than the analyses predict if a substantial amount of new travel is induced or redistributed from other streets.

Driver Confusion
The quad intersection concept, if implemented, would exist at no other location in the Clovis/Fresno area. There will be a need for a substantial amount of additional signage identifying the required route to accomplish the desired movement. In some cases, a right turn must be made in advance of an intersection to accomplish the actual intent of turning left at the intersection. Where left turns will be prohibited, the intersections will remain open and there may be a high potential for illegal and potentially hazardous left turns, whether intentional or mistaken.

Between Willow Avenue and State Route 168, Clovis, California Page 17 Alternative Travel Routes and Cost
The quad intersection concept was generally proposed with the intent of providing a much faster route of travel through north Fresno between Clovis and SR 99. SR 168 was not yet complete when the study was performed, but now provides a feasible alternative to traveling on Herndon Avenue between Clovis and SR 99 that many motorists utilize. The cost of implementing quad intersections in Clovis could be several million dollars, as major intersection and traffic signal modifications would occur on two existing intersections and two new traffic signals would be constructed with associated intersection construction.

Adaptive Traffic Signal Control
Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) is included in the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Every Day Counts (EDC) program, which is an initiative designed to identify and deploy innovation aimed at reducing the time it takes to deliver highway projects, enhance safety, and protect the environment. ASCT utilizes traffic signal software and hardware to measure traffic flow in real-time and automatically adjusts signal timing to promote coordination of traffic along arterial streets (increase average speeds) and to minimize or eliminate spillback. By utilizing appropriately-designed vehicle detection, ASCT dynamically adjusts the cycle length, offset, and splits based on current or historical demand. ASCT increases the probability that traffic signals will be green when a platoon of vehicles arrives. On road segments where saturation and spillback occur, ASCT can reduce the amount of time that saturation occurs by optimizing conditions leading up to the peak period and by providing real-time response to clear the saturation and spillback conditions as quickly as possible. ASCT was not considered in the Herndon Avenue Specific Study but has become a feasible alternative for improving traffic signal coordination during the past 20 years. The cost of implementing ASCT is typically minimal as compared to other measures, particularly the construction costs associated with quad intersections.

A case study of an ASCT project in Chula Vista, California determined that travel times on East H Street decreased by 8.8 percent and the average cumulative stopped delay decreased by 32.9 percent.

The City of Fresno has successfully implemented ASCT on Shaw Avenue and Herndon Avenue in the past few years, and is planning to implement ASCT on additional corridors.

The City of Clovis is planning to implement ASCT as well, including along the Herndon Avenue corridor that is the subject of this report. The benefits of ASCT may not be fully reflected in the analyses presented herein because it adjusts signal timing in real time based on current conditions, so the conditions after implementation of ASCT could be better than the conditions presented in the tables above. As such, current ASCT technology offers an alternative to quad intersections that was not considered at the time of the Herndon Avenue Specific Study.

Herndon Avenue Corridor Study June 1, 2022
Between Willow Avenue and State Route 168, Clovis, California Page 18 the future for each of the analysis scenarios. The conclusions and recommendations resulting from the study are summarized below.

The average speeds during the peak hours on Herndon Avenue in the year 2042 between Cedar Avenue and DeWitt Avenue are expected to range from 19 to 31 miles per hour, including time spent sitting at red lights. If the quad intersection concept is not implemented, the average speeds are expected to drop to a range of 14 to 26 miles per hour.

The analyses suggest that excessive queues are expected to occur at many of the study intersections whether or not quad intersections are implemented. Implementation of state-ofthe-art coordination systems, such as adaptive signal control technology that adjusts signal timing in real time, should be implemented to optimize traffic progression.
