Update on 540 Utility Planning Presenter: Chris Johnson, Town Engineer The Complete 540 project, also known as the Southeast Extension, will extend the Triangle Expressway from NC 55 in Apex to US 64 in Knightdale. The Complete 540 project is being administered by the NC Turnpike Authority, an agency of the NC Department of Transportation that supervises transportation improvements funded by tolls. The total cost of completing the outer loop around Raleigh is approximately $2.2 billion. The Complete 540 project is broken up into 4 segments as follows: • R-2721A – NC 55 to just east of Pierce Olive Road • R-2721B – Just east of Pierce Olive Road to just east of US 401 • R-2828 – Just east of US 401 to just east of US 70 (Primarily through TOG’s extended service area) • R-2829 – Just east of US 70 to US 64 The first three Design-Build projects have all been awarded, while the R-2829 project is not currently slated to begin until FY 2027. The R-2828 section is the only portion of the 4 segments of Complete 540 that primarily run within the Town of Garner’s extended service area (south of current extra-territorial jurisdiction). The Design/Build team is comprised of Lane/Blythe (Prime Contractor) with WSP as the Lead Design Firm. The project is currently at 75% design completion and consists of a 6-lane divided shoulder with a 45’ median swale section. The following street and stream crossings are located along the R-2929 project as follows: • Fanny Brown Road (bridge over 540) • Panther Branch – 2 crossings (6’x8’ RC Box Culvert and 9’x8’ RC Box Culvert) • Old Stage Road (interchange with bridge over 540) • Little Creek (10’x8’ RC Box Culvert) • Holland Church Road (bridge over 540) • Juniper Branch (bridge over Juniper Branch) • Sauls Road (bridge over 540) • Guffy Branch (Double 8’x9’ RC Box Culvert) • Jordan Road (bridge over 540) • Buffaloe Creek (9’x8’ RC Box Culvert) • NC 50 (interchange with bridge over 540) • Swift Creek (bridge over Swift Creek) • US 70 (interchange with bridge over US 70) Town staff has been working with NCDOT and the City of Raleigh to coordinate future water and sewer casings at major intersections and streams along the R-2828 project to reduce future impacts to the 540 corridor at such time that utilities may need to be extended southward of the 540 corridor. The Town
and City Public Utilities Department have attended monthly utility coordination meetings since March 2019. The City of Raleigh has taken the lead on this effort and procured The Wooten Company to design water and sewer encasement pipes to be installed in conjunction with the 540 construction contract to allow the water and sewer utilities to be more easily extended at a future undetermined date. The locations and details of the water/sewer encasement crossings are summarized as follows: Fanny Brown Road 24” steel encasement under 540 just west of Fanny Brown Rd for future 12” WL
Panther Branch 36” steel encasement under 540 for future 18” gravity sewer
Old Stage Road 24” steel encasements under 540 and ramps west of Old Stage Rd for future 12” WL - NCDOT requested to eliminate these crossings due to depth of cut (35 feet) - Watermains to be bored and jacked at a future date
Little Creek 36” steel encasement under 540 for future 18” gravity sewer
Holland Church Road 24” steel encasement under 540 for future 12” WL
Guffy Branch 36” steel encasement under 540 for future 18” gravity sewer
NC 50 24” steel encasement under 540 for future 12” WL - NCDOT requested to eliminate these crossings due to depth of cut (30-50 feet) - Watermains to be bored and jacked at a future date - 16” steel encasement under 540 for future 8” force main - NCDOT requested to eliminate these crossings due to depth of cut (30-50 feet) - Watermains to be bored and jacked at a future date Stormwater Projects Design Update and Recommendation Presenter: Leah Harrison, Asst. Town engineer Overview

Drainage at 109 Village Green Trail Johnny Blankenship, 2714 St. Mary’s Street Raleigh, Mr. Blankenship provided information regarding the drainage problem he is experience at his property at 109 Village Green Trail. To help alleviate the situation, Mr. Blankenship suggested a curb inlet be installed in front of the buildings and a swale to the catch basin be installed. Mr. Blankenship proposed cost sharing the total cost of the repair is $44,800; with the Town being responsible for $22,400. Mr. Blankenship added that he would guarantee this amount and any overruns would be his responsibility. The Committee recommended a construction contract be drawn up with Pipline Utilities Incorporated (similar to the one for the Trade Street project) indicating the Town would be responsible for the cost sharing amount of $22,400 and confirming the Town will maintain the area from the manhole to the catch basin. A separate contract will be drawn up with Celeste Blankenship stating the maintenance agreement will stay with the property. Committee consensus to put on the November 4th consent agenda.

ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 10, 2020 TO: John Hodges ‐ Assistant Town Manager FROM: Chris Johnson, PE ‐ Town Engineer RE: Traffic Calming Program Review/Update In response to Council’s recent request to review the Traffic Calming Program, staff completed a review of the current policy (last updated in 2009), as well as did a peer review of other traffic calming programs throughout the Triangle area and state. Staff has prepared a presentation for the Public Works Committee and the slides are attached for reference. In short, the current policy is somewhat similar to other peer policies, however, it may be worthwhile to update the traffic calming policy to provide more clarity, as well as make some minor adjustments that will better outline the policy for both internal staff, Council members, and the general public. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Consider moving to a new tiered system that categorizes traffic calming into 3 primary groups (Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3). The tiered system will help better designate the appropriate types of traffic calming measures to be used based on street width and classification. Staff also recommends adjustments to the speed/volume thresholds to better align with peer programs analyzed in the study. These threshold adjustments will support efforts to reduce excessive neighborhood speeding. Staff also suggests amending the petition requirements on Tiers 1/2 to expedite lower cost traffic calming measures to help encourage lower cost solutions where feasible. ATTACHMENTS

Town Manager’s Office Memorandum
TO: Public Works Committee FROM: John Hodges, Assistant Town Manager - Development Services DATE: July 16, 2020 SUBJECT: Water/Sewer Capacity Update
In November 2018, the Public Works Committee recommended suspension of the Town’s previous Water/Sewer Allocation Policy that had been used for several years to protect capacity and encourage development of desired housing types. Council accepted this recommendation and formally suspended the policy in December 2018. The Committee also recommended an annual review of available water/sewer capacity.
Raleigh Water (formerly known as City of Raleigh Public Utilities Department) provides an annual report of available and allocated water and sewer capacity to each of its six merger partners, including Garner. The FY20 report from Raleigh Water is attached. This includes data through June 30, 2019. At the time of this report, Garner’s actual gallons per day (GPD) use of water was 2,148,945 out of an allocated capacity of 7,060,731 gpd or 30% (see yellow highlighted row). In other words, we still have 70% of our allocated capacity to support growth and development. Per our merger agreement with Raleigh Water, our capacity will continue to increase annually at a rate of 3% through 2025. Please note that the report shows a projected usage at 3% (see gray highlighted cells) that will change to actuals when the data is updated. We will receive an update with data through June 20, 2020 in late summer or fall.
Staff recommends using the Raleigh Water report for the Committee’s annual review of capacity in lieu of using the manual allocation calculations that Garner staff has previously prepared.
