PROJECT DESCRIPTION The Blair South Bypass is a project proposed by the City of Blair, Nebraska. The bypass would address congestion on Washington Street, which serves as the City's main downtown street and has dual designation as US Highway 30 (US -30) and US Highway 75 (US -75). The City of Blair is requesting $4,960,000 of BUILD funding to carry forward momentum on this critical transportation project, support economic growth in the region, and improve the economic development potential of Blair's downtown. The purpose of the Blair South Bypass is threefold: 1. Enhance local mobility through downtown Blair, specifically along Washington Street between 13th and 19th Streets; 2. Improve the efficiency of through traffic (whose origin and destination is not Blair) between US -30 and US - 75, including truck traffic with destinations to the Blair Industrial Park and Cargill Campus; and 3. Improve pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. The concept of a bypass around the City has been discussed formally since 1994 and has been identified in the Blair Bypass Study (2001), Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) (2004), and the City's Comprehensive Plan (2015). The full proposal for the bypass included a four -lane roadway consisting of three segments extending around the south, east, and north sides of the City, with the intended purpose of relieving congestion and safety concerns on Washington Street in downtown Blair. Through the NEPA process, a "Super 2" concept emerged as the preferred alternative to accommodate through -traffic and provide a passing lane to reduce conflicts with freight traffic. The project is an existing federal -aid project programmed currently in the FY2018-2023 State Transportation Improvement Program (Control Number, 22508). The project has a variety of federal funding sources from both the US Department of Transportation and US Department of Housing and Urban Development. The estimated total project cost is estimated to be $11.5 million for construction, preliminary engineering (including environmental documentation), right-of- way (ROW) acquisition, construction engineering, and utility relocation costs. The project's Draft Environmental Assessment is under review and construction is scheduled to begin in early FY2020.

PROJECT LOCATION Blair, Nebraska, the county seat of Washington County, is a growing community of 7,990 residents located on the state's eastern border. Approximately 20 miles north of the City of Omaha, Nebraska's largest city, Blair is within the Omaha -Council Bluffs, NE -IA Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA), which has a total population nearing one million people. Blair is well located along various transportation routes due to its proximity to Omaha. US Highways 30 and 75 and State Highways 91 and 133 converge within Blair's corporate limits; Highways 30, 75, and 91 interconnect and traverse through Washington Street, the City's downtown commercial corridor (See Figure 1).

Omaha s is 7s i 30 133 0 0.5 1 I } / Miles Blair's accessibility to key transit corridors has aided in attracting national and global companies to the community, such as Cargill, Evonik, and Novozymes. In the 1990s, Cargill began construction of an expansive corn milling and ethanol production facility, which at the time was the largest single corporate capital investment in the State of Nebraska. The presence of the Cargill Campus and subsequent Blair Industrial Park has transformed Blair into a strategically significant industrial and value-added agriculture hub within the State and region; the 2017 Nebraska Freight Plan prepared by the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) identifies Blair as a freight cluster. The presence of Cargill and related industries results in a daily flow of heavy truck traffic that is uncharacteristic of most cities the size of Blair. Furthermore, there are other industrial and large commercial operations throughout the City where truck traffic arrives and departs, such as Concrete Equipment (CON -E -CO), Kelly Ryan Equipment Company, Woodhouse Auto Family, and various grain and ag-related facilities. BLAIR SOUTH BYPASS PAGE 6 PREVIEW Date: Jul 19, 2018 Workspace ID: WS00183827 Funding Opportunity Number: DTOS59-18-RA-BUILD1 Blair has a stable and growing economy that benefits from both commercial conveniences and heavy industry. However, these economic nodes and land uses are largely disconnected due to the lack of adequate east -west access other than the four -lane road - Washington Street (US -30/ US -75) - that has served traditionally as the City's downtown commercial corridor. The lack of such access has put a significant strain on the downtown corridor, and to a lesser extent, some residential streets. The location of the bypass was selected from other alternatives due to the compatibility with the LRTP and the City's current comprehensive plan. Also, this alternative would avoid the relocation of homes and would avoid or minimize impacts to environmental resources.

GRANT FUNDS, SOURCES & USES OF PROJECT FUNDS The proposed Blair South Bypass has been a priority project to the community at large for nearly 20 years — demonstrated by the City's current Comprehensive Plan and letters of stakeholder support included with this application (See Attachment B). The City has assembled financial support in the form of a Congressionally -directed earmark of $974,000 from US Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and $1.2 million from the Surface Transportation Program (STP), which was originally awarded in 2011. In addition, the City is committed to providing $4,366,000 from local sales tax or a general obligation bond in addition to the $4,960,000. Between the two referenced funding sources and local match, the City is capable of financing the project design, NEPA clearance, payment for right-of-way, and relocation of a utility main. The allocation of BUILD Transportation Funds towards the proposed bypass can help Blair fill a long-standing funding gap by transitioning the project from concept to implementation. In the absence of BUILD funding, developing additional local funding would likely delay the project's implementation as other sources of local revenue would need to be developed.

MERIT CRITERIA Washington Street is burdened by opposing tendencies from local automobile traffic, regional truck traffic, and through traffic. Local traffic is characterized by slower speeds and a greater number of turning movements related to on -street parking, roadway intersections, and access driveways, whereas through traffic requires higher speeds and limited access. The Blair South Bypass project addresses many of these issues directly by reducing the conflicts between passenger vehicles and freight vehicles in the downtown area. Based on NDOT data, highway segment crash rates for several segments in downtown Blair exceeded the statewide average for Urban Four -Lane Highways for a three-year period from September 1, 2012 to August 31, 2015. The crash rate on the segment of Washington Street from 19th Street to 16th Street represents 130 percent of the statewide average. The crash rate on the segment of US -75 from South Street to Washington Street represents 114 percent of the statewide average. The NDOT freight plan documents roadways with speed inconsistencies throughout the State, which are often at intersections of major corridors or in urbanized areas where trucks encounter multiple mobility barriers. Segments of US -30 and US -75 near the Blair/Omaha area are identified as having low speed performance. The freight plan references a speed difference between 21 and 30 mph on both US -30 and US -75 around Blair. Furthermore, the freight plan finds that speed is highly unreliable on US -30 within five miles west of Blair, and US -75 is the worst performing key freight corridor in the Omaha region. BLAIR SOUTH BYPASS PAGE 9 PREVIEW Date: Jul 19, 2018 Workspace ID: WS00183827 Funding Opportunity Number: DTOS59-18-RA-BUILDI Washington Street has limited capacity and is currently built out to its physical limits. In 2000, Washington Street was reconstructed from a four -lane street with diagonal on -street parking to a four -lane street with a two-way left -turn lane, and on -street parallel parking stalls. Despite reconstruction, traffic still operates at a reduced speed with long delays and noticeable congestion. Traffic conflicts occur in downtown Blair because Washington Street funnels a mix of users with varying (and often conflicting) trip purposes. Washington Street is the only highway arterial in Blair with direct east -west access to US -30 and US -75, and also serves as Blair's Main Street— the central corridor in the community's downtown. A heavy volume of through traffic traveling on Washington Street has an origin and destination (O&D) outside downtown Blair. Through vehicles use Washington Street to connect to other major highways, including external destinations such as Omaha and Iowa. Much of the traffic on Washington Street flows to and from the Missouri River bridge, which is located approximately two miles east of downtown Blair. This bridge that connects into Iowa provides access to Interstate 29 and Interstate 80. The O&D study determined that through traffic entering Blair ranged between 29 and 45 percent of the total, depending on the highway. Based on historic and projected annual average daily traffic (AADT) volumes, a trucking company survey, an O&D study, and peak hour counts, a large amount of downtown traffic consists of through traffic. In 2016, more than 2,000 trucks per day utilized the central portion of Washington Street — a figure that is expected to grow to 3,995 trucks per day in the year 2040 (See Figure 2). At current traffic levels, NDOT estimates that substantial pavement investments are anticipated by 2025 for portions of the Washington Street corridor. This high-level of truck traffic through downtown requires higher levels of maintenance and will require an advanced schedule for reconstruction — increasing significantly the life -cycle costs of maintaining the existing facility. The effects of the operations on the Washington Street corridor impact surrounding streets as well. Truck traffic often seeks a more direct route on parallel Minor Arterial roads such as South Street, where the City has been forced to install "No Trucks" signs to dissuade cut -through traffic in predominantly residential neighborhoods. Annual maintenance costs are anticipated to be reduced significantly by the diversion of through and freight traffic off Washington Street and adjacent corridors. In addition, better alignment between vehicle type and roadway use can vastly improve the long-term resilience and compatibility of the City's entire transportation network with the character of Blair's neighborhoods.

US -30 in particular is a key economic corridor through Blair due to the movement of freight to and from facilities in Iowa and Nebraska. These facilities, which are largely agribusinesses based, have large operations that generate hundreds of millions of dollars in economic activity for the region.

Historically, Blair's downtown has been the center of government, banking and professional businesses, and service and retail, but the current configuration of Washington Street/US-30/US-75 is not conducive entirely to commerce due to regular regional/ through truck traffic and related noise and fumes. Though Blair retains the physical characteristics that make for a strong downtown, the full economic development potential of the commercial area is stifled by the disruptive flow of daily truck traffic. Downtown business districts should by nature be inviting and accessible freely to automobile drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists. The presence of truck traffic disrupts the overall connectivity and sense of place that downtown areas should possess. Blair's vision of an accessible and vibrant downtown district will be nearly impossible to implement while truck traffic is directed through the downtown's main corridor. Such a diversion of truck traffic via a bypass was referenced heavily throughout City's 2015 comprehensive plan as a means to foster a more preferred downtown. Implementation of the proposed project will reduce significantly the volume of truck traffic on the portion of Washington Street where most of the City's downtown business district is adjacent. The incompatibility of the existing freight traffic and the downtown district is (See Table 1, page 5). The diversion of truck traffic with the south bypass may aid ultimately in the jurisdictional transfer of the Washington Street corridor from state to local control. Then Blair will be able to control the dimensions and character of Washington Street, opening other opportunities for economic development not practical currently. aP F x ' hr # d'Fr rzi€,marl N" # Fla l i A Draft Environmental Assessment (DEA) is under development for the proposed Blair South Bypass. The DEA addressed a variety of environmental concerns and mitigation techniques for alleviating impacts of construction and post -construction time periods. Elements of the DEA addressing stormwater management and air quality are summarized below. Stormwater Management Stormwater management and drainage are important design considerations of the Blair South Bypass. A Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) is required for construction activities which disturb more than one acre of land. This plan will be developed and submitted prior to the Construction Stormwater Notice of Intent. The City of Blair will incorporate soil erosion and Best Management Practices (BMPs) to protect water quality and provide a discharge velocity that is equal to or better than current conditions. BLAIR SOUTH BYPASS PAGE 13 PREVIEW Date: Jul 19, 2018 Workspace ID: WS00183827 Funding Opportunity Number: DTOS59-18-RA-BUILDI Energy Consumption & Air Pollution Washington Street serves currently as an essential corridor for commerce in the central business district, along with being used frequently as a freight corridor. The frequency of congestion occurring along the corridor creates an air quality issue during peak hours. Alleviation of these congestion issues will provide more free-flowing traffic along both corridors that is conducive. to more efficient flow of both traffic types. The Levels of Service identified in Table 3 illustrate the continued delay and idling that contribute to increased fuel consumption and the degradation of the community's air quality. The Blair bypass will provide a significant reduction in the rate of truck traffic through the Central Business District, producing a safer, quieter, and cleaner environment for people utilizing services and amenities found along Washington Street. The reduction in downtown truck traffic will afford business owners the opportunity to cater to residents and visitors in manners previously unfeasible with existing heavy congestion. The bypass is expected to enhance local commerce with increased patronage of downtown businesses and anticipated expansion of operations. Similar to other main street districts in the region, downtown Blair can return to being a more traditional center of commerce, offering a higher incentive for the public to patronize downtown attractions more frequently and for longer periods of time. The proposed bypass is supported by the downtown business community and is referenced prominently in the 2015 Blair Comprehensive Plan, which includes concepts of a downtown entertainment district. Truck traffic creates many hazards for pedestrians accessing storefronts along Washington Street, making the creation of an entertainment district challenging. The current flow of through truck traffic in the City is considered intimidating by these pedestrians, and poses an inherent danger to those that utilize other modes of transportation. A reduction in truck traffic will foster a more inviting and comfortable environment for all other modes of transportation: automobile, bicycle, and pedestrian. Improvements to sidewalks, crosswalks, and a designated pedestrian/bicycle trail along the new alignment would further enhance accessibility to Blair businesses. Allowing this truck traffic to reroute around downtown Blair will produce a significant increase in the capabilities and qualities of the area. BLAIR SOUTH BYPASS PAGE 14 PREVIEW Date: Jul 19, 2018 Workspace ID: WS00183827 Funding Opportunity Number: DTOS59-18-RA-BUILDI Quality of life is an increasingly important aspect in community development and has a significant impact on where individuals and families choose to live. Currently, 40% of the workforce in Blair lives outside of the direct vicinity of the community. Due to Omaha proximity, the workforce population (and its families) has a relatively wide selection of communities in which to live. Enhancing this core downtown area will further enhance the desirability of Blair as a community in which to locate. Reducing this truck traffic through the downtown is a very large component in furthering efforts to create a truly vibrant commercial/entertainment district at the heart of Blair. The median age of Blair was 36 during the 2010 census, which skews younger than most communities in the State of Nebraska, indicating a prevalence of young families. Young families are generally attracted to areas with a high quality of life, and the proposed bypass is a proactive and actionable step that Blair can take towards maximizing its potential to create a high quality of life moving into the future. The Blair South Bypass has benefitted from many project delivery improvements championed by the NDOT and Nebraska Division of the Federal Highway Administration. In 2016, NDOT undertook significant streamlining efforts related to improve project delivery, maintain compliance with environmental standards, and to improve the coordination between state and federal partners. These process improvements continue to provide benefits including standardized review schedules, consultant scopes of work, and improved guidance on addressing the manifold environmental considerations for federal -aid projects. These efforts have continued as the the NDOT has begun pursuing NEPA assumption - a process which has fostered the development of new partnerships to develop and implement projects effectively. Furthermore, upon submittal of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement for the Blair Bypass Project, the Nebraska Division of the Federal Highway Administration recommended that the project be carried forward in the NEPA process with an Environmental Assessment. This shift reduced the level of review substantially and provided a clearer path for the Blair South Bypass project to reach its current status. These changes have been essential to the momentum that the Blair South Bypass currently has, and its status as a shovel -ready project ready for implementation.

PROJECT READINESS The Blair South Bypass project is an existing federal -aid project that is close to its final environmental approval. The current project design is the result of decades of community and stakeholder input. In addition to detailed feasibility studies, final design will begin with the final approval of the environmental document (slated for approval early in 2019). Due to the limited right-of-way impacts of the project, the project will be shovel ready by early 2020. Technical Feasibility For more than 20 years, four corridors have been considered for connecting the roadway network in and around Blair. These were general locations on the south, east, and north sides of the citywide swathes in which a connecting roadway could be placed. The corridors were identified as: Past studies have shown that all the corridor alternatives have logical termini, operate with independent utility, and complement other planned transportation improvements. However, these studies have also shown that the "South Close" corridor has the highest projected traffic volumes, truck traffic volumes, and through traffic volumes. Thus, a 2014 traffic study estimated that the construction of this corridor would reroute more than half the truck volume from downtown Blair. Furthermore, the "South Close" corridor has been shown to be compatible with construction of the other three connections should they be pursued in the future. Therefore, the "South Close" corridor has been shown to be the most effective in relieving congestion and addressing safety concerns on Washington Street in downtown Blair. This corridor is more effective than the others because it connects directly to the Cargill Campus, Blair Industrial BLAIR SOUTH BYPASS PAGE l8° PREVIEW Date: Jul 19, 2018 Workspace ID: WS00183827 Funding Opportunity Number: DTOS59-18-RA-BUILDI Figure 3 North ° - South Close Corridor A connection between US -30 and US -75 W A S H 1 N G T C o u N T v 0 N `r �' south of downtown and north of the US- i-�, , i a r - 30/N-133 intersection !_Blair` "C91J di 2549t.li Far Corridor 4 �� .t r A connection between '� - a; H A r R I s ©N US -30 and US -75 - East south of downtown t j �i.;7 and south of the US- ` �! 30/N-133 intersection 75 Blair Industrial Park a° East Corridor Aconnection between t US -30 and US -75 east South Close _ (BlalnrSouth Bypass) of downtown 7s A connection between 30 6, > 0 0.5 i US -30 and US -75 - - south Far - Miles y, north of downtown Past studies have shown that all the corridor alternatives have logical termini, operate with independent utility, and complement other planned transportation improvements.

None of the other corridor alternatives provide as many options for truck and through traffic. For these reasons, the "South Close" corridor was carried forward through the environmental process and was named the Blair South Bypass. The Draft Environmental Assessment evaluated the implementation of a southern bypass against no - build conditions anticipated for 2040, and evaluated multiple lane configurations for the build scenario. The preferred alternative proposes a three -lane arterial roadway with curb and gutter, referred to as a "Super 2." This configuration (shown in Figure 4 below) would include two lanes in the uphill direction and one lane in the downhill direction. The two lanes would merge to one lane near the crest of the hill. The project would include construction of a storm sewer and a 10 -foot -wide pedestrian/bicycle trail along the south side of the roadway. The pedestrian/bicycle trail, sidewalks, crosswalks, and ramps would be constructed according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. Certain areas would require significant grading to maintain at a maximum, a five percent grade to meet the current ADA and Public Rights -of -Way Accessibility Guidelines for pedestrian access along the proposed trail. The project would include signage on Washington Street to divert southbound through traffic to the bypass. Based on the proposed improvements, property acquisition for street ROW and/or temporary or permanent easements is expected. Relocations or acquisitions of structures are not anticipated under the Preferred Alternative. The project meets all NDOT standards and would have minimal construction impacts on the traveling public and freight users.

The project is currently programmed in the FY2018- 2023 State Transportation Improvement Program for Construction in FY2020. Final design will be completed by early 2020 to accommodate an early spring 2020 letting— ample time to obligate funding in advance of the September 30, 2020 deadline for FY2018 BUILD funds. With BUILD funding, Construction would begin in late spring 2020 and be substantially completed and open to traffic by early 2021. Without additional funding to close the existing gap, securing additional local revenues may cause scheduling delays in the project.

Minor FHWA comments were received in June 2018 and the comments will be addressed and submitted as a final Draft Environmental Assessment in August 2018. A public hearing and 30 -day public comment period on the project and the Final Approval will be made. Completion of all work related to the environmental review and a Finding of No Significant Impact are anticipated by May of 2019. A summary of the anticipated environmental review schedule is below. Draft Environmental Assessment Final Submittal: August 2018 Public Hearing: October 2018 Final Environmental Assessment I Initial Submittal: December 2018 Final Submittal: April 2019 (anticipated) Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) I Anticipated May 2019 An agency scoping meeting and bus tour of the previous concepts for a bypass around the City of Blair were conducted June 10, 2003. That meeting presented the concept of a bypass to local, state, and federal agency representatives, utilities, and the project sponsors and solicited input from these groups. Project information packages were -also sent to regulatory and review agencies, local government entities, utilities, businesses, and Native American tribal governments. Periodically, during the last decade, project briefings have been presented to the City Council and Washington County Board. In 2015, a presentation on the project was made at the quarterly interagency meeting between FHWA, NDOT, NDEQ, NGPC, USACE and USFWS. The City of Blair and engineering firm Felsburg Holt & Ullevig presented information on the project history, alternatives analysis, roadway design, and drainage design considerations for discussion. Agencies raised no concerns at the time of this meeting. In 2016, NDOT discussed with FHWA the need for a future interagency meeting for the Blair South Bypass. It was determined that an additional meeting was not necessary due to the history of the project and because it had been presented to various agencies in the past. Several technical studies and detailed investigations were conducted to support the development of a Draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the complete bypass around three sides of the City of Blair. The relevant portions of these technical analyses were incorporated into the Draft Environmental Assessment under review by FHWA. The Blair South Bypass project has been a local priority for more than 20 years and has been the topic of discussion at public meetings related to the Long Range Transportation Plan, Comprehensive Plan, and Blair Bypass Study. The local newspaper, the Washington County Pilot -Tribune & Enterprise, has reported on the proposed project during the past several years, with several articles tracking the project's progress. Additionally, a public hearing on the project and the Environmental Assessment will be held in October 2018 as part of the final environmental requirements related to this project.

The project is eligible for and seeks fiinding from the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development's (BUILD) discretionary grant program. The City of Blair, working with the State of Nebraska, has been awaiting this bypass for nearly two decades... adequate funding is the remaining obstacle. Blair is both home to strong employers and a hub of key transportation highways and bridge over the Missouri River to Iowa. The lack of sufficient transportation infrastructure prohibits growth, economic expansion, and has become a safety issue to our residents. The traffic flow through Blair's main street (Washington Street) is detrimental to our downtown businesses. Extremely high truck and freight traffic has made it uncomfortable for residents to park and utilize our downtown business community. The safety of motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists are at risk until truck traffic is diverted from the center of our town. Blair has suffered fatalities as a result of this issue.

The project is eligible for and seeks funding from the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development's (BUILD) discretionary grant program. The lack of sufficient transportation infrastructure continuously causes congested traffic presenting safety concerns for the 2,256 K-12 students that attend Blair Community Schools. Blair is a hub of transportation with several highways extending from Blair, and one of the few bridge access points across the Missouri River into Iowa. Currently, freight traffic travels through Blair's downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods, which is detrimental to children, parents, businesses, and residents. The current traffic flow through Blair's main street (Washington Street) is not conducive to the actual and desired use of the area. A disproportionate amount of truck traffic follows Highways 30 and 75. Blair Community Schools has three K-2 elementary schools and one 3-5 primary school in dangerously close proximity to Highways 30 and 75 and busy freight traffic. Additionally, middle school students who walk and high school student drivers are also at risk. The very high truck traffic and the proximity of the driving lanes to schools has made it increasingly unsafe and uncomfortable for students to walk to school. Heavy truck traffic even makes it difficult for parents who choose to drop their children off at school. The safety of students, parents, and pedestrians, will continue to be at risk until truck traffic can be diverted away from elementary and middle schools. Blair has already suffered fatalities and many other accidents as a result of this issue. Blair Community Schools have been hoping for a bypass for nearly two decades. Adequate funding is the primary obstacle. Blair Community Schools sees this important infrastructure project as a great opportunity for a local -federal partnership to strengthen the community of Blair, improve economic growth, and most importantly ensure our students have a safe pathway to school.

As the economic development organization for Washington County, we are extremely proud to say the City of Blair has experienced substantial economic growth in recent years. With growth, there are often growing pains and currently those growing pains are jeopardizing economic growth and the safety of Washington County residents. Washington County has a robust and diverse ecosystem which includes our bio -refinery campus. The campus has been experiencing substantial growth. The companies located there continue to find innovative ways to create new products which are used all over the world. A large portion of Washington County's truck traffic is doing business with the companies on campus. These bio -businesses are poised for growth as they develop and launch new technology. Our existing industry will continue to grow and thrive here. Gateway will continue to attract new employers to the area which will result in additional truck traffic. This will continuing to make it unsafe for our citizens and impede growth. Gateway's mission is to be the catalyst for economic development and quality growth in Washington County. We need the by-pass to continue on with our mission of quality growth and to be the change agent within our county. Thank you for your consideration. Best Regards, (J&VGW(__ Lisa A.

MAPA serves as the regional Council of Governments for the Greater Omaha region, which includes Washington County in which the Blair South Bypass project is located. The Washington County area enjoys economic vitality from several large employers, such as the Omaha Public Power District and Cargill. In 2012, Novozymes opened a dedicated biofuel enzyme production plant, for both conventional and advanced biofuels. These and other employers have created jobs for the Omaha metro area, but have increased traffic demands also between Blair and Omaha as well as the rest of the metropolitan area. In addition, heavy freight traffic utilizes the US -30 corridor that travels in an east -west direction, connecting Iowa to Fremont and points beyond. Ongoing economic investments, including the recent $400 million Costco investment in Fremont that is projected to have a $1.4 billion economic impact, will result in increased traffic along this heavy freight corridor, much of which travels through Downtown Blair on Washington Street (US -30). While this growth is good news for the regional economy, it places increased strain on the infrastructure, which is insufficient already. The region's competiveness is constrained by aging and obsolete infrastructure. The Blair South Bypass will address this by increasing the safety and reliability of transportation, which is vital to enhancing accessibility to needed services and employment, and providing Downtown Blair with relief from constant truck traffic. Thank you for your consideration and support of the Blair South Bypass BUILD grant, which will be a major catalyst of economic growth safely connecting people to employment and goods to market.

Blair, a town of almost 9,000, is a hub of transportation with several highways intersecting the city. It also has one of few bridges that cross the Missouri River. With multiple industries that necessitate heavy truck traffic, the need for a truck bypass is long overdue. Traffic has increased substantially over the years, especially since major industries have come to town, such as Cargill. I write this from a public safety and quality of life perspective. Having heavy truck traffic throughout our downtown area has been increasingly hazardous over the years, resulting in many accidents and even fatalities, many of whom we've treated in our facility. The safety of motorists, pedestrians, cyclists and children will continue to be at risk until truck traffic can be diverted from the heart of the city. Having such a busy and unsafe downtown area reduces the accessibility for members of the community to safely do business and enjoy local commerce. It also is a poor reflection of a beautiful community to those that may be looking to move into the area. MCH&HS sees this important infrastructure project as a great opportunity to realize a vision of a beautiful downtown that is more inviting and accessible to residents, tourists, consumers and prospective businesses. It will also vastly improve public safety, which is critically important to all of us.

The project seeks fuunding from the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development's (BUILD) discretionary grant program under the rural category. This project will provide a vital new connection that will unleash economic development and improve the quality of life in Blair and the surrounding region. Significant traffic from Missouri Valley and the surrounding area in Iowa travels to and from Nebraska along the US -Highway 30 corridor. According to 2016 traffic count data, more than 6,700 vehicles per day crossed the Missouri River, nearly ten percent of which were trucks. This flow of goods is strongly driven by agricultural producers in western Iowa transporting goods to businesses to businesses in Nebraska, and vice versa. However, the lack of sufficient transportation infi•astucture in Blair and Missouri Valley constrains the continued expansion of this economic activity. Currently, freight traffic travels through Blair's downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods, which is detrimental to businesses and residents, and adds time and cost to industry. The proposed bypass projects in Blair, as well as a similar bypass plan for Missouri Valley, are part of a Highway 30 freight corridor that allows for more safe and efficient movement of people and goods. The City of Missouri Valley, Iowa sees this project as a great opportunity for a local -federal partnership to strengthen the region and catalyze economic growth.

Our companies operate trucks, a freight brokerage and a heavy-duty repair and maintenance business. We understand transportation and its issues because we are working in it every day. We need your help in Blair. Currently, freight traffic travels through Blair's downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods, which is detrimental to businesses and residents, and adds time and cost to industry. The current traffic flow through Blair's main street (Washington Street) isnot conducive to the actual and desired use of the area. A disproportionate amount of truck traffic follows Highways 30 and 75. The very high truck traffic and the proximity of the driving lanes to downtown businesses has made it increasingly unsafe and uncomfortable for customers to park and utilize businesses downtown. It is loud. Safety is always an important issue to our company and our employees. We coach our drivers to use the inside lanes when traveling through downtown Blair. The outside lane is too tight, and it is just too dangerous. There are many pedestrians in the area and it is very dangerous when they get in and out of their vehicles parallel parked along the street where these busy highways merge. Sometimes they do it without looking or warning. The parallel parking often stops traffic while cars try several times to get parked or getout of a tight space. It certainly is a bad situation. The safety of motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists will continue to be at risk until truck traffic can be diverted from the heart of town. Blair has already suffered fatalities and many other accidents because of this issue. Going through Blair is slow and adds time to our trips. There are many lights and it is congested during the daytime when traffic is busy. Any time that our infrastructure can be improved upon, it is better for our business and the customers that we move freight for. Our drivers operate on tight schedules and our driver's hours of service is limited. We need them to be able to travel efficiently to the destination. I know many other transportation companies feel the same in regard to this. The project is eligible for and seeks funding from the Better Utilizing Investments to Leverage Development's (BUILD) discretionary grant program.
