Thompson City Clerk PROJECT AND TECHNICAL EXPERIENCE Transportation Policy Ms. Hughes has been a leader in state-wide policy development. She assisted State Legislators in drafting the 1995 growth management legislation known as ELMS 3, which significantly advanced traffic concurrency management practices in the State of Florida. Through individual project opportunities, she has helped establish the next level of private sector traffic mitigation options. Because of her creativity and leadership in these areas, she has been invited to speak at numerous regional and statewide forums and conferences on various urban transportation planning concepts that begin to harmonize the natural dissonance between routine transportation engineering practices and cost -feasible solutions to urban challenges. Downtown Miami Development of Regional Impact (DDRI) - Assisted in preparation of one of the first Downtown DRIs performed in the State. In addition to typical long range traffic forecasting and evaluation, the project required quantification of the impacts of Metrorail on the roadway network, estimates of future average auto occupancy, and acceptance of LOS E at certain locations within the downtown. Among other restrictions placed on the downtown transportation system by the approval of the DDRI, construction of future parking facilities in downtown Miami was prohibited. The policy was implemented the year after Miami's Metrorail began operations, and is credited today for the high ridership maintained by the Metrorail system. North Lauderdale Community Bus Service - Designed and obtained governmental approval for the first traffic concurrency mitigation plan to privately fund a Community Shuffle Service to meet project traffic concurrency. Two projects located in western Broward County provided funding to mitigate their traffic impacts on several extremely congested but fully improved roadway corridors in suburban South Florida. The mitigation plan resulted in the establishment and implementation of the Community Shuffle Program in North Lauderdale. The program benefitted from a modest annual governmental grant and is operated by the municipal agency The mitigation approach caught the attention of Broward County's top administrators, who have directed County staff to establish parameters and guidelines to focus all future trip mitigation toward transit solutions. New River Center Florida Quality Development - Preparation of the response to FQD/ADD Question 31, Transportation, involving urban transportation modeling, regional traffic impact analysis, and trip mitigation plan for the Tribune Company/Stiles Corporation 6-acre mixed -use project in downtown Ft. Lauderdale. The mitigation plan was developed for a one million square -foot office complex that also included 35,000 square feet of retail space and a 400-room hotel. Currently the site of the 250,000-square-foot Sun -Sentinel Building and the 287-unit River House condominium tower, the project was the first in Florida to propose and gain approval for developer - funded transit as trip mitigation. To reduce total trips on Broward Boulevard, project owners agreed Submitted into the public record in connection with items PZ. 24& P2.25 on 10-28-10 Priscilla A. Thompson City Clerk to fund the downtown feeder bus system connecting to the Broward Boulevard/I-95 Tri-Rail station. State law, which previously limited traffic mitigation to construction of roadways and roadway improvements, had to be changed to allow this application of funds. Another first was approval of additional trip mitigation funds committed to a non -transportation facility (the construction of Riverwalk in the heart of downtown) that was shown by HHI to delay drivers from joining traffic flow during the heaviest travel period. The highly successful plan has effectively delayed many day -timers in departing for the suburbs until after the peak period ends, and serves as a catalyst for further downtown nightlife development which increases the degree of success, State law had previously limited traffic mitigation to construction of roadways and other roadway improvements. SR 7 Value Engineering/Corridor Redevelopment Initiative - Represented the City of Miramar in a Value Engineering exercise with FDOT District 4 engineers for the U.S. 441 widening project in southern Broward County, adjacent to the City of Miramar. As a solution to the two agencies' conflicting interests of maximum land redevelopment vs. maximum right-of-way taking, Ms. Hughes devised a mutually beneficial right-of-way acquisition and revitalization program to utilize approximately $35 million in FDOT right-of-way funds for City of Miramar revitalization and redevelopment efforts along the corridor. The program partnered the City's redevelopment authority and condemnation rights with FDOT's right-of-way acquisition funds to reduce right-of-way acquisition costs, with the City being responsible for condemning the needed right of way as part of the condemnation of the larger redevelopment area, but at a lower cost. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials presented the Value Engineering team with its Exemplary Partners Award, 2000 for the effort. Later that year, Ms. Hughes presented a program detailing the approach at the Statewide Conference of the Florida Redevelopment Association as a way to leverage transportation dollars to "jump start" reinvestment along mature urban corridors.
