Five new safety glass doors have been installed downstairs, which have opened up
the space and allowed patrons to view the rooms’ activities.

roughly $1500/year. Mango is being reviewed as a potential replacement for the

were discussed, as well as the detractions of Rosetta Stone.
The Friends of the Library presented a $25,000 donation to the Library in June; this

TO: Honorable Mayor and Council
FROM: Andrew D. Lukasik, Village Manager
DATE: August 27, 2020
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION: Approval of a First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement with
the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council for Phase II of the US1 Corridor
Study in the amount of $53,860.
Village Staff is requesting Village Council’s approval of a First Amendment to an Interlocal
Agreement with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council (“TCRPC”) for Phase II of the US1
Corridor Study in the amount of $53,860. Approval of the Agreement will authorize Village and
TCRPC staff to move forward with the data gathering, analysis, and public outreach necessary to
make a recommendation to the Village Council and complete an application to FDOT to repurpose
the US1 Corridor in North Palm Beach from a six lane section to a four lane section with protected
bicycle and pedestrian facilities, street trees and other pedestrian amenities. A portion of the cost
will be shared with the Palm Beach County Transportation Planning Agency (“TPA”).
Background:
The 2016 Village of North Palm Beach Citizens’ Master Plan Report, the result of a community
charette process, created a long-term vision for the Village. One of the strategies identified within
the Master Plan was the reduction of travel lanes in the US1 Corridor from six to four.
The concept of repurposing portions of the US1 Corridor by reducing vehicular travel lanes was
echoed in the TPA’s US1 Multimodal Corridor Study (2018). The TPA study area stretched from
Boca Raton to Jupiter and sought to develop a comprehensive plan to improve bicycle and
pedestrian facilities and public transit. The study recommended the resurfacing of US1 with lane
repurposing from six lanes to four, with the addition of separated bicycle and pedestrian facilities,
street trees and other pedestrian amenities.
The North Palm Beach section of the corridor is identified as a “Tier One” priority within the TPA
plan. Because of this, TPA funding will be available in a future year to assist in funding multimodal
improvements on the corridor, including, but not limited to, the potential roadway configuration,
enhanced lighting and landscaping and other design elements.
With the findings in these two planning documents in mind, $50,000 was included in the FY 2019
budget to gather existing traffic data, complete an analysis of transportation needs, conduct public
engagement sessions in which possible lane reduction strategies would be shared and
recommend strategies for Council consideration.
In December, 2018, the Village Council approved an Interlocal Agreement with TCRPC to
complete a study of the US1 Corridor in the amount of $61,500. The TPA committed to providing
50% ($30,750) of the funding required. The Village’s share of the study was within the established
budget of $50,000.
Key activities associated with the study included:
• Collecting and updating traffic counts and projecting future traffic in order to understand
traffic conditions during the peak season today and in the future.
• Public workshop to obtain input on “no build” and strategies to modify the corridor based
upon traffic data.
• A presentation to the Village Council that will include results of the study and public
engagement processes and recommended strategies based upon traffic data and public
input.
• Project Report that will summarize the study and recommended strategies based upon
Village Council input.
Phase I Status:
Most of this scope of work has been completed. Village and TCRPC staff will conduct public
outreach through the use of two “Open Houses” – September 9 and October 26 – to be held at
the North Palm Beach Country Club. Following the two Open Houses, the Planning Commission
will be asked to make a recommendation and Village Council will be asked to approve the
submittal of an application to FDOT for a lane repurposing project on US1.
A report on the traffic study analysis has been completed and is attached along with a presentation
that was given by Fabricio Ponce, a traffic engineer with VHB who completed the analysis. In his
initial analysis, Mr. Ponce found that traffic between Northlake Boulevard and the Parker Bridge
will be 18 seconds slower in 2040 with a four (as opposed to six) lane configuration on US1.
Since that initial analysis and with feedback from an ad hoc committee (US1 Steering Committee)
and the Village Council, VHB evaluated a more limited lane repurposing strategy whereby lanes
would be reduced from six to four between Anchorage Drive North and Anchorage Drive South
(leaving six lane configurations between Parker Bridge and Anchorage Drive North as well as
between Anchorage Drive South and Northlake Boulevard). The travel time on this nearly one
mile segment slowed 13 seconds when reduced to four lanes from six in 2040.
Phase II of the US1 Corridor Study:
Staff recommends continuing to work directly with the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council
as authorized by the “Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969” (FS 163.01) to conduct Phase II
of the US1 Corridor Study.
Phase I will be completed concurrently with Phase II. Phase I will be the completion of the report
and Phase II provides for additional analysis that is required to apply to FDOT for a lane
repurposing project as well as additional information and renderings to illustrate lane repurposing
impacts on the corridor. Specifically, tasks in Phase II will include:
• Parker Bridge traffic, crash data and queuing analysis;
• Synchro (software that illustrates traffic flow and delays) and signal timing simulation;
• Corridor diagrams including renderings showing possible development schemes resulting
from the proposed revision to the land development regulations;
• Cost estimates; and
• FDOT meetings and application development.
This scope of work will include conducting additional analysis required by FDOT (this additional
data collection and analysis is now required by FDOT since the Village and the TCRPC entered
into the initial agreement) as well as illustrations and graphics to assist with an understanding of
lane repurposing impacts. Should the Village Council decide not to submit an application to the
FDOT for a lane repurposing project, the cost of Phase II will be reduced by $21,200.
In the upcoming FY2021 budget, the Village has $25,000 allocated for Phase II. Funding is also
available from the Village Manager’s operating budget to fund the additional $5,926 for the
Village’s share. The TPA has $22,930 allocated towards this project as well. Consequently, there
will be adequate funding for Phase II of the Study.
It is anticipated that the Village Council will be able to provide policy direction regarding the
configuration of US1 by December 2020 in order to integrate investments into the TPA Long-
Range Plan and budget process. It is important to note that, should the Village Council determine
that US1 lane configurations should be adjusted, FDOT approval will be required prior to the
implementation of any changes.

Council) seek to update the Village USI traffic study and provide recommendations to support
enhanced multi -modal transportation, improved quality of life, and safer access along the USI
Corridor through the Village of North Palm Beach.
The project area for the work is focused on, but not limited to, the USI Corridor through the
Village's limits. Additional areas may be included if it is determined additional analyses would
benefit the US 1 Corridor master planning efforts.
The key elements of the project shall include:
Updated traffic counts and traffic study regarding the US 1 Corridor;
Public workshop to obtain public input;
Public presentations to the Village Council regarding the project; and
The creation of a Project Report, which considers updated traffic counts and traffic study,
roadway configuration alternatives, public input, and recommendations, and which
reflects the community's vision for the future of the corridor.
The Palm Beach Transportation Planning Agency (TPA) is anticipated to be a funding partner in
this effort. Work to be provided by Council through TPA funding will be further addressed in a
separate agreement between the TPA and Council.
The Palm Beach TPA recently completed the US 1 Multimodal Corridor Study, which evaluates
opportunities to improve multimodal transportation, safety, health factors, and access along USI
through Palm Beach County. The North Palm Beach subject section of USI is identified as a
Tier One" priority within the TPA plan. Accordingly, TPA funding may be available in a future
year to assist in funding multimodal improvements on the corridor, including but not limited to
potential roadway reconfiguration, enhanced lighting and landscaping, and other design
elements. Given the TPA budget schedule, it is anticipated the planning efforts within this Scope
of Services would be designed to accompany a potential resolution by the Village Council to be
considered by May 2019 in order to be integrated into the TPA Long -Range Plan and budget
process.

What is Lane Elimination/
Repurposing?
•Reuse of existing lane or roadway
–Reduction of pavement maintenance costs
–Introduction of enhanced pedestrian,bicycle or other
transportation alternatives --possibly golf carts.
–Improvement of redevelopment opportunities –more
area to allow development,pedestrian access,
greenspace,environment for living.

Why US 1 in NPB?
•Intersections and Bridges have the greatest
impact on traffic flow
–Need capacity for the traffic queue at the Northlake
intersection.
–Bridges on PGA and US1 (Parker)in close proximity
and need to be considered.
