AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a task assignment in the amount of$79,659.30 for URS Corporation Southern to conduct
a Capacity Improvement Feasibility Analysis to evaluate potential improvements for Level of Service
(LOS) on US 1.
ITEM BACKGROUND: In December 2012, the BOCC approved the 2012 US Arterial Travel Time
and Delay Study and directed staff to coordinate with FDOT to address marginal LOS in conjunction
with FDOT work program projects. At the same meeting, the BOCC authorized the Mayor to send a
letter to FDOT informing the agency about proposed changes to local regulations and requesting
assistance to improve LOS conditions on US 1 (Attachment A) . The 2013 TTDS annual report was
completed in August 2013. Excerpts from the 2012 and 2013 TTDS reports are included in this agenda
item (Attachment B). This task assignment (Attachment C) will provide the county with a Feasibility
Study Report that will identify specific locations on US 1 where capacity improvements could be made
to sustain traffic growth over a 20 year horizon. The scope was developed in collaboration with FDOT.
The report will document the feasibility of implementing improvements, the cost of improvements, and
concept sketches of proposed improvements. Following completion of the study and approval by the
BOCC, it will be forwarded to FDOT with a request to incorporate improvements into the FDOT work
program. This task will be completed under URS's BOCC-approved Transportation Planning Services
contract and is funded at 87.5% ($69,699.26) by the FDOT through JPA AQN-53. A 12.5%
($9.957.41) county match is required.

RE: 2012 US I Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study
Florida Keys
Dear Mr.Pe go:
Please find attached a copy of the 2012 US I Arterial Travel Time and Delay Study (TTDS). This study is
performed annually by Monroe County through a Joint Participation Agreement with FDOT to monitor the
Level of Service(LOS) on US 1. Over the past several months, Monroe County,FDOT, and DEO staff, as
well as staff from Marathon, Islamorada. and Key West, have been evaluating the US I segments that are
to LOS"C"or thoset t have dropped LOS enough to be considered a"concem".
In an efibit to address LOS before it becomes a big issue for the county or its municipalities, our BOCC
discussed actions that can be taken to plan for improvements to problem segments. Of course, we need to
coordinate the actions between multi-agencies. The first action Monroe County will to will be to
procen a Land Development Code amendment through the public hearing process. The proposed
amendment's intent is to eliminate the provision in Section 114-2 of the code which states that development
is not permitted on segments where travel speed would bed by more than 5% to LOS C. The
2012 study shows that are no segments in unincorpomted Monroe County faffing below LOS C. However,
three (3) segments of US I (Segments 3, 19, and 20 on the following table) have only a small amount of
reserve volume left, Two(2)segments in the Village of Islamorada fall below LOS C.-
Se&Me
3 -Rockland Drive to Boca Chica Road(MM 9- 10.5) C 373
4-Boca Chi ca Rd to Harris Channel Bridge(MM 10.5 -16.5) B 2,881

19-Tea Table Relief Br to Whale Harbor Bridge(MM 79.5-MM 84) C 136-
20-Whale Harbor Bridge to Snake Crzek Bridge(MM 84-MM 86) C 252
The curr-ent Land Development Regulation(LDR)(Section 114-2(b)(5)b. states"the county shall not
approve applications for development in areas of the county that are served by inadequate facilities,
except the county may approve development that will have no reduction in the capacity of thefacility or
where the developer agrees to increase the level ofservice of the facility to the adopted level ofservive
1
standard. The county will propose amending this LDR to define what level of development may proceed
without a corresponding traffic improvement on a per segment basis.
The county will also be examining improvements we can make an county roads that could help improve
LOS on US 1. The county requests that MT work with county staff to Rmd additional actions that can
improve LOS on US 1, such as:
1. The FDOT enlumcing signal hardware, software,and timing to improve traffic flow on US 1.
2. . The FDOT addressing marginal LOS in FDOT 5-year Work Program pmjects.
I. The FDOT discouraging additional sigrWized intersections along US 1.
Please let our staff know when your staff can meet with us to discuss these requested actions, especially#2.
We look forward to continuing our longstanding relationship with FDOT regarding transportation issues.

This report contains results and findings of the 2013 Travel Time and Delay Study. The
study's primary objective was to monitor the Level of Service (LOS) on U.S. I for
concurrency management purposes pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and Monroe
County Land Development Regulations. The methodology adopted for this study was
established by the U.S. 1 Level of Service Task Force in 1993 and amended in 1997. The
methodology establishes a procedure for using travel speeds as a means of assessing the
level of service and reserve capacity of U.S. 1.
of Monroe County and the FDOT have adopted a LOS C Standard for U.S. 1. Further,45
mph has been adopted as the LOS C Standard for the entire length of U.S. I regardless of
the posted speed limits. Under the adopted growth management process if the overall LOS
for U.S. I Its below the LOS C Standard, then no additional land development will be
allowed in the Florida Keys.
The 2013 results are presented in the following table:

• The overall travel speed on U.S. I for 2013 is 46.9 mph;
• Compared to 2012, the median segment speeds in thirteen (13) of the 24 segments
increased ranging between 0.1 mph to 2.6 mph;
• Compared to 2012, the median segment speeds in, nine (9) of the 24 segments
decreased, ranging from -0.1 mph to -5.2 mph; majority of the speed reductions were in
the middle and upper keys.
• The largest difference in speed (-5.2 mph) was recorded on Segment# 15 (Duck— MM
60.6 to MM 63.0), which resulted in the LOS change from a V to a 1131. A temporary
signal at the entrance to Hawks Kay to manage the Duck Key Bridge rehabilitation is the
primary reason for this speed reduction. The rehabilitation project (and the temporary
signal) is anticipated to be completed in the fall of 2013.
• The second largest difference in speed (-3.0 mph)was recorded on Segment#23 (Key
Largo—MM 99.6 to MM 106.0); however,the LOS remained the same at'A'.
Segments with reserve speeds of less than orequal to 3 mph should be given particular
attention when approving development applications. The Saddlebunch Keys (MM 10.5 to
MM 16.5) in the lower keys, and a 32 mile segment of middle to upper keys (7 segments)
starting from Grassy Key (MM 54.0) to Windley Key (MM 86.0) are within the 'area of
concern'; 4 of the 6 segments has no reserve volumes; the Duck Key segment could be
discarded from this list due to the temporary traffic signal.
Road widening is a typical capacity Improvement remedy exercised by most municipalities.
In Monroe County, however road widening, specifically to U.S. I is restricted by the
adopted comprehensive In policies to preserve and protect the fragile ecological
conditions. There are other less intrusive remedies could be explored and evaluated to
improve the traffic flow and the capacity of U.S. 1,they include:
- Identifying strategic locations to add turn lanes.
- Conducting speed studies on selected segment of U.S. I to confirm the posted speed
limits are correct, if necessary.
- Consolidating driveways/access points to reducelminimize friction.
- Enhancing signal timing at existing signalized intersections along U.S. I to Improve the
traffic flow.
allowing new signalized intersections along U.S. I if there is alternative safer
access exist to accommodate the turning movements.
- Improving the conditions to the county maintained local streets to minimize U.S. I
being used as the local street.
U.S. I is a state maintained roadway. Therefore, any modifications/improvements to U.S. I
have to be developed in collaboration with the Florida Department of Transportation.

1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report contains results and findings oft 2012 Travel Time and Delay Study. The
study's primary objective was to monitor the Level of Service (LOS) on U.S. I for
concurrency management purposes pursuant to Chapter 163, Florida Statutes and Section
114 of the Monroe County Land Development Regulations. The methodology adopted for
this study was established by the U.S. i Level of Service Task Force In 1993 and amended
In 1997. The methodology establishes a procedure for using travel speeds as a means of
assessI ng the level of service and reserve capacity of U.S. 1.
Both Monroe County and the FOOT have adopted a LOS C Standard for U.S.1. Further,45
mph has been adopted as the LOS C Standard for the entire length of U.S. I regardless of
the posted speed limits. Under the adopted growth management process If the overall
LOS for U.S. 1 falls below the LOS C Standard,then no additional land development will be
aII owed In the Florida Keys.
The overall travel speed on U.S. I for 2012 Is 47.0 mph. The results Indicate the median
travel speeds and LOS have deteriorated In most of the segments with respect to last year.
Compared to 2011, the median segment speeds Increased In six (6) of the 24 segments
rangI ng between 0.3 mph to OA7 mph; whereas, eighteen (18) segments experienced a
decrease In median speeds,ranging from 0.05 mph to 4.0 mph.
The biggest difference In speed change was observed on Segment# 18 (Tea Table- MM
77.5- MM 79.5), which resulted In the LOS change from a " to an 'E'. This segment had
been at LOS D for the past five years,and reached a critical threshold this year,which may
result In a localized moratorium according to county comprehensive plan. A similar trend
could be observed at the adjacent Segment#17(L Matecumbe MM 73.0-MM 77.5),where
the LOS remained at D for the past throe consecutive years.
Segments with reserve speeds of less than or equal to 3 mph should be given particular
attentIon when approving development applications. The most of lower keys - from Big
Cappitt(MM 9-0)to Sugarlof(MM 20.5)and the Big in Key segment(MM 29.5-MM 33.0)
Is within the 'area of concern'. Similarly, most of middle keys from Grassy (MM 54.0) to
Duck (MM 63.0) Is within the 'area of concern'. Approximately 13 it segment of upper
keys from L. Matecumbe(MM 73.0)to Windley(MM 84.0) continue to stay within the'area of
concern'. The most critical segment of all Is the Tea Table(MM 79.5-MM 84.0) that has no
reserve volumes left to allow any new development that could Impact this segment
Road widening Is a typical capacity Improvement remedy exercised by most municipalities.
In Monroe County, however road widening, specifically along U.S. 1 Is restricted by the
adopted comprehence plan policies to preserve and protect the fragile ecological
conditions. There are other less Intrusive remedies could be explored and evaluated to
improve the traffic flow and the capacity of U.S.1,they Include:
- Identifying strategic locations to add turn lanes.
- Conducting speed studies on selected segment of U.S. I to confirm the posted speed
limits,and correct, If necessary.
- Consolidating driveways/access points to reduceiminimize friction.
- Enhancing signal timing at existing signalized intersections along U.S. I to Improve the

allowing now signalized intersections along U.S. I If there is alternative safer
access to accommodate the turning movements exist.
- Improving the conditions along the county maintained local streets to minimize U.S. I

SCOPE OF SERVICES FOR
MONROE COUNTY- US 1 CAPACITY IMPROVEMENTS FESABILITY STUDY
URS Corporation Southern proposes to provide the services identified below for the task entitled
"Monroe County-US 1 Capacity Improvements Feasibility Study", pursuant to its Professional
Service Agreement with Monroe County for'Transportation Planning', dated March 16, 2011.
PURPO
In Monroe County, the LOS on individual segments of US 1 is measured by comparing the travel
speeds to the weighted average posted speeds. The difference between the LOS C speed
and the travel speed is referred to as 'reserve speed'. If the reserve speed is equal to or less
than 3 mph, then the area where that particular segment is located is considered 'Area of
Concern'. Following the 2013 Travel Time Delay Study (TTDS), 8 of the 24 segments were
categorized as within 'Areas of Concern,'-the 8 segments and the respective reserve speeds
are listed below:
- Saddle Bunch( M 10.5 to 16.5)-2.1 mph - L Matecurnbe(MM 73.0 to 77.5)-(-) 0.6 mph
- Grassy(MM 54.0 to MM 60.5)-2.5 mph -Tea Table(MM 77.5 to MM 79.5)- (-) 3.5 mph
- Duck(MM 60.5 to MM 63.0- (-) 2.7 mph - U.Matecurnbe(MM 79.5 to MM 84.0)-(-) 1.7 mph
- Long Key Br. (MM 6 .0 to MM 7 .0-2.3 mph - Windley(MM 84.0 to MM 86.0)-0.7 mph
Of the 8 segments categorized as ''Area of Concern' 3 segments are located within
unincorporated Monroe County, 4 segments are within the Village of Islamorada, and 1
segment is within the city limits of Marathon.All 3 segments in the unincorporated areas of the
Monroe County have had a historical trend of being categorized as 'Area of Concern' (see
Figure 1).The 3 segments identified in the 2013 TTDS and 2 other segments (Big Coppitt and Big
Pine Key) that had historically shown a trend of being within the area of concern are included
in this study (a total length of 17.5 miles).
The CONSULTANT will perform planning and engineering services required to identify
appropriate improvements to address the capacity deficiencies and evaluate the feasibility,
including the environmental impacts associated with the potential improvements for these 5
segments. These segment limits may be extended to develop segments with rational limits for
analysis purposes.
The final product of this task will be a Feasibility Sfey earl. The report will identify specific
locations of US 1 (within the 5 segments) in unincorporated Monroe County requiring capacity
improvements to sustain anticipated future growth (20 year horizon) in traffic. The report will
also document the feasibility of implementing the potential improvements, including the
environmental impacts and the cost. The potentialI improvements will be presented on
concept sketches. It will be the CONSULTANT'S responsibility to utilize the standard engineering
judgment, practices and principles possible during the prosecution of the work commissioned
under this task.

Page 2 of 5
The CONSULTANT will demonstrate good project management practices while working on this
task.These include communication with the COUNTY and others as necessary; management
of time and resources, and documentation. The CONSULTANT should make every effort to
make use of all past studies and information gathered, and not repeat tasks that have been
completed through other studies.
The County will provide contract administration, management services,and technical reviews
of all work associated with the development of this Feasibility Study and the concept plans.The
County will provide job specific information and/or functions as outlined in this agreement.
1. BACKGROUND RESEARCH
The CONSULTANT will investigate and compile existing relevant data, studies and roadway
plans, including as-built plans related to the 5 study segments. The existing studies include
planning,engineering,and environmental resource permits and any ancillary documentation
which is readily attainable.
2 _COLLECT NEW DATA
Two types of new data will be collected to perform this study:
i. Field Data - Field observations and roadway geometric data to perform the
engineering analysis, and a cursory desktop review of the potential environmental
constraints; such as protected species and regulated habitats within each of the 5
segments.
ii. Traffic Data - Directional vehicle speed and volume data will be collected, as a
minimum for a period of 24 hrs.for all 5 segments.Additional data will be collected if
there are speed limit changes and potential volume changes are anticipated within
each segment.
3. PERFORM TRAFFIC OPERATIONAL ANALYSIS
The CONSULTANT will develop a methodology to project future LOS anticipated along the 5
study segments. The beginning year for the analysis will be 2013 and the horizon year will be
2023. Because a nontraditional methodology is used to measure the LOS along US 1, the
proposed LOS projection methodology will be a collaborative effort between the
CONSULTANT, COUNTY, FDOT, and other agencies the COUNTY deem necessary to be part of
the process.
The Synchro/SimTraffic traffic operational analysis tool will be utilized to perform the analysis.
The field observations, geometric data, and traffic data collected in tasks 1 and 2 will be
utilized to simulate the existing speeds and to develop speed projections to determine the
future LOS.
4. PERFORM TRAFFIC SAFETY ANALYSIS
The CONSULTANT will gather most recent 3 years of crash data from FDOT for the 5 study
segments of US 1. The crash data will be used to prepare collision diagrams and perform the
safety analysis to identify and support potential roadway improvements.
5. IDENTIFY AND DEVELOP POTENTIAL GEOM RIC IMPROVEMENTS
The CONSULTANT will identify and evaluate potential geometric improvements to mitigate the
operational deficiencies. Potential improvements may include change in speed limits,access
management/shared access,roadway widening, including bridge widening,addition of turn
lanes, intersection improvements, etc. A meeting will be held with the County staff to review
the potential improvements and solicit feed-back necessary to move forward with the
selected improvements for the 5 segments.

6.DEMOP CONCEPT SKETCHES
The CONSULTANT will develop concept sketches for the proposed roadway improvements
consistent with FDOT Plans Preparation Manual (PPM).The sketches will be at a 1"=100' scale
and is not intended to be design plans. When necessary,blow-up of specific improvements will
be provided at 1"=20' scale to present' the details. The concept sketches will include
approximate right of way and above ground utility information.The below ground utilities will
have to be addressed during the design phase.
7. PERFORM ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF PRPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The CONSULTANT is very familiar with the habitats, resources and environmental constraints
within Monroe County and The Florida Keys through our 12 years of work as the Florida
Department of Transportation, District VI Districtwide Environmental Permits Consultant. The
CONSULTANT will conduct a cursory desktop analysis to identify potential impacts to regulated
resources and habitats within the study areas.The CONSULTANT will document the findings and
prepare an impact matrix for submittal to the COUNTY as part of the reporting documentation.
In addition, the CONSULTANT will prepare a preliminary list of the anticipated environmental
resource permits that will likely be required for the proposed improvements.
8. ATTENQ AND PRESENT THE PLANJ
The COUNTY will schedule,invite the appropriate agencies, and conduct a meeting to review
the proposed conceptual improvements.The CONSULTANT will provide large scale sketches of
the proposed improvements and present the findings at the meeting.
9. DOCUMENTATION
The CONSULTANT will document the findings in a report. The report will be submitted to the
COUNTY, initially in a DRAFT format to solicit input prior to submitting the FINAL report. The
report will also include a probable cost estimation of proposed improvements. The report will
identify potential constraints-engineering,environmental,and policy,and potential mitigation
measures.
