Gutie'r. z _Ma or @MA Sonyd Naar Tee, City Clerk 2017 - 2020 CONGESTION MITIGATION AIR QUALITY PROGRAM (CMAQ) FUNDING APPLICATION Proposed Project Description Describe the project as it should be represented for best modeling results. The description may be written, may be sketched, may start with a photograph and use digital editing or may be a combination of any formats. Some things cannot be modeled in the current YVCOG model. YVCOG will notify a jurisdiction if another quantitative or qualitative analysis is necessary to evaluate the submitted project instead of the travel demand model. The following should be fully described in the project description: lanes • Posted speed change • Grade separation • Increase/decrease number of lanes • Addition of a two-way left turn lane, turn pockets, restriction of a turn such as a barrier at an intersection, weaving lane • Restrictions or removal of a restriction such as one-way only/change to two- way/reversible lanes/HOV lanes/truck only/trucks-not-allowed lanes • Change in capacity on a roadway • Change in functional class intersections • Change in stop control — stop sign, signal, yield, round -about • Addition of a turn pocket, restriction of a turn such as right-in/right-out • The applicant will provide information on this cover page and complete application Parts I, II, III, IV, V, and VI. • YVCOG will calculate air quality benefits in consultation with project sponsors for reporting purposes. Project Lead City of Yakima Project Name Ahtanum Road & 64th Avenue Intersection Improvements Contact Name Brett Sheffield E -Mail brett.sheffield@yakimawa.gov Phone # 509-576-6797 509-576-6305 Is the project in the 2017-2020 MTIP ? Yes X No Is the project ready to proceed ? Yes X No 2017-2020 CMAQ Application 1 Anticipated CMAQ funding for the 2017-2020 Call for Projects is: $1,500,000. The CMAQ Sub -committee recommends to the TAC that: 1. Each jurisdiction is allowed to submit one project for this Call for Projects, 2. The max amount of requested CMAQ funding for any project is $500,000. • Requested CMAQ Project Amount $497,375 PART I: PROPOSAL DESCRIPTION Describe the proposal in general terms and include a discussion of how the project/proposal will reduce transportation -related PM10 emissions, or other air pollution emissions*, and/or congestion. Include all project information items shown on the cover page. Please attach a vicinity map showing the proposal location (if applicable) or the area affected in either 8'/2 x 11 inch or 11 x 17 inch format and an aerial photo of the area Project Start: nearest crossroad / landmark: Ahtanum Road & 64th Avenue Intersection Project Finish: nearest crossroad / landmark: Ahtanum Road & 64th Avenue Intersection This project would improve the intersection of Ahtanum Road and 64th Avenue by installing a traffic signal at the intersection and constructing a dedicated right -turn lane for the westbound Ahtanum Road traffic. Currently, the intersection is only controlled by a stop sign for southbound 64th Avenue traffic. During AM and PM peak hours, the delay is significant, resulting in drivers taking risks to make left turns. The project would also grind and overlay Ahtanum Road from 62nd Avenue to 300 feet west of 64th Avenue, and grind and overlay 64th Avenue from Ahtanum Road to 300 feet north. The project would reduce the PK() emissions by reducing the amount of time that southbound 64th Avenue traffic (especially those turning left onto Ahtanum Road) for an opening in traffic. The traffic signal would include a detection system to control traffic flow as efficiently as possible. *Projects demonstrating an air pollution reduction other than PMto may submit a 2017-2020 application according to consensus between YVCOG and WSDOT as of October 4, 2012. If new FHWA or FTA guidance restricts air pollution reductions in the PMtomaintenance area to PMto reduction exclusively, the prioritization or awarding of projects may change. Exclusive consideration of PMtoreductions by FHWA or FTA will result in YVCOG removing from the selection process those projects primarily showing PM2 s, CO, VOC, NOX, SO, or NH, reductions in their evaluations. If pollutant reduced is other than PM10, it is the applicant's responsibility to explicitly identify which and explain why specific pollutants are to be evaluated. 2017-2020 CMAQ Application 2 PART II: AIR QUALITY BENEFITS Please describe the air quality benefits anticipated within the Yakima Valley PMioLimited Maintenance Area as a result of this project/program. For YVCOG reporting purposes, please note which criteria pollutants will be addressed. The air quality benefits would be a decrease in the amount of PK() produced as a result of less time spent idling. The traffic signal would include a vehicle detection system to efficiently move the vehicles. To be filled in by YVCOG if applicant modeling request is made PM,, emission reduction for the project as provided by YVCOG analysis: • How many tons per year of PMIw will be reduced? • Describe the methodology used to estimate PMlo reductions. Other pollutant emission reduction for the project as provided by YVCOG analysis: ❑ PM'; 0 C ❑VOC ❑NOK o SOx ❑NOx • How many tons per year of pollutant will be reduced? • Describe the methodology used to estimate pollutant reductions. 2017-2020 CMAQ Application 3 YVCOG Calculations for CMAQ Application Page 1 of 2 Yakima — Intersection Improvements 9/8/2016 Air Quality Analysis for Intersection Improvements within the Yakima PM10 Maintenance Area Yakima Project Assumptions YVCOG performed air quality calculations for improving the existing unsignalized "T" at 64`h and Ahtanum in Yakima by signalization. The analysis assumes an average 30 seconds per car reduction in idling due to signalization improvement and that cars use gasoline fuel. A 1.5% annual ADVMT growth rate (Yakima Valley Metropolitan Transportation Plan 2016-2040) was used to project future ADT on the roadway section. An ADT representing the total 2016 ADT for both 64th Avenue and Ahtanum Road was used. The annual growth rate calculation resulted in 14,245 ADT in 2017, 14,895 ADT in 2020, and 20,062 ADT in 2040. Methodology PMI() and PM2 s pollution reduction estimates were performed using the methods and emission factors outlined in EMFAC2011, California Environmental Protection Agency Air Resources Board. Total Project ADT = 14,245 EMFAC2011 model: 30 second reduction in grams emitted per vehicle = 0.0067 Vehicles per day = 14,245 vehicles per hr / 24 = 593 Grams per hour = 30 second reduction * cars per hour = 0.0067 * 593 = 3.97 Emissions Reduced: tons per day = 0.0623 * 365 days per year = Horizon Years — 2020 — pivim Total Project ADT = 14,895 EMFAC2011 model: 30 second reduction in grams emitted per vehicle = 0.0067 Vehicles per day = 14,895 vehicles per hr / 24 = 620 Grams per hour = 30 second reduction * cars per hour = 0.0067 * 620 = 4.15 Emissions Reduced: tons per day = 0.0681 * 365 days per year = Horizon Years — 2040 — PM l Total Project ADT = 20,062 EMFAC2011 model: 30 second reduction in grams emitted per vehicle = 0.0067 Vehicles per day = 20,062 vehicles per hr / 24 = 836 Grams per hour = 30 second reduction * cars per hour = 0.0067 * 836 = 5.60 Emissions Reduced: tons per day = 0.1237 * 365 days per year = 45.2 tons/yr YVCOG Calculations for CMAQ Application Page 2 of 2 Yakima — Intersection Improvements 9/8/2016 YVCOG Analysis Findings PMio: This proposal will reduce PMio by 45.2 tons/year in the out -year of 2040. VMT is not reduced. The roadway functional class will not change.

CMAQ provides funding that may be used by states, local agencies, non -profits and private businesses for projects and programs that reduce transportation related emissions in federally designated non -attainment and maintenance areas. The Engineering Division of the City would like to submit an application to install a traffic signal at the intersection of 64th Avenue and Ahtanum Road. The total cost of the project is estimated to be $575,000, of which approximately $78,000 would need to be local funds. Sources of these local funds could be the gas tax or REET 2. In order for the City to apply for the grant, the City Manager must sign the grant application.
