I serve as Co-Chair of the Commonwealth's five Regional Competitiveness Councils which are responsible for regional economic development initiatives. Walkers Brook Crossing represents an excellent example of successful economic development in the Commonwealth. This development significantly benefits the Town of Reading, a relatively small community north of Boston with 23,700 people; 8,700 households; and employment primarily in management, professional, sales/office and service occupations. When the town faced a consent order to close and cap its unlined landfill, the estimated $5 million cost was daunting. The successful landfill redevelopment eliminated the $5 million landfill capping and closure cost, and the developer paid the town $3 million for the land. The town is benefiting from property tax revenues of over $750,000 yearly, as well as the creation of over 1,000 new jobs. The Commonwealth will receive millions of dollars in yearly sales and income tax revenues. Walkers Brook Crossing has environmental benefits as well. Municipal solid waste was used on site to create walls around the site perimeter, protecting surrounding wetlands from contamination and preserving a natural resource for town residents. For Reading, a site that was a liability has become an attractive entrance to the town. I look forward to your consideration of Walkers Brook Crossing as a Brownfield redevelopment worthy of a 2006 Phoenix Award.

For background information, Bob invited Jim Wensley to briefly review the previously produced documents that lay the groundwork for the development of the TDM and transit options to be discussed today. Jim briefly discussed each of the following documents: • A summary of existing transit services relevant to the study (dated June 6, 2005) • A summary of TDM, HOV lanes, HOT lanes, and Congestion Pricing concepts (dated June 6, 2005) • A summary of MassRIDES TDM efforts in the study area (dated June 9, 2005) along with accompanying handouts about MassRIDES as an organization, MassRIDES partnership, and TDM monitoring measures Office of Transportation Planning Page 1 of 4 Printed: 6/27/2006 I-93/1-95 ITF TDM Subcommittee Meeting of May 25, 2006 • A handout on Advancing Transit and TDM, which included conceptual short-term, medium-term, and long-term activities, potential immediate actions, and a list of potential TDM strategies for the interchange study area (dated September 28, 2005) • A description of potential enhancements to the MetroNorth shuttle service (distributed at the May 10, 2006 ITF meeting) Some of these documents were provided for reference at this meeting. Rob Swierk of TranSystems then reviewed studies and efforts undertaken separately from the I-93/I-95 Interchange Study, including the North Suburban Commuter-Oriented Transit Opportunities Study (CTPS, 2002 and 2005); the Program for Mass Transportation (MBTA, 2003); implementation of the MetroNorth bus by the Route 128 Business Council in June 2005; expansions of TDM partnerships and efforts by MassRIDES to work with area employers; and efforts by EOT, the MBTA, and MassRIDES to increase the use of the Anderson Regional Transportation Center (ARTC). Joe Cosgrove asked if transit and TDM components are being developed in this study as mitigation or to try to increase the number of people that use alternative modes of transportation. Jim Purdy said that the predominant mode is single occupant vehicles and the study seeks to encourage other modes in order to improve operations at the interchange. Jim Gallagher said the study has approached this as a mobility problem that requires a balanced set of solutions. TDM/Transit Comuonents Discussion TranSystems distributed a handout listing an initial set of 13 potential TDM and transit components for consideration. TranSystems developed these based on their research, cited above, as well as from input from the Task Force and the subcommittee over the past year. Jim Wensley described the categories of improvements being examined. The. lower-cost, more easily implemented options are listed first and the most costly, complex options are listed near the end of the list. Shorter-term improvements are expected to take between 5 to 10 years to implement and longer-term improvements may take up to 20 years or longer. Anne McKinnon suggested a category be added - immediate action - that would cover actions in the 1-year to 5-year time frame. Sunested transit and TDM opportunities: 1. Implement a fully on-line carpool sign-up system- MassRIDES is currently working to implement this. 2. Create a formal park-and-ride program at Anderson Regional Transportation Center (ARTC), further promoting use of the facility. 3. Distribute trial monthly passes for MBTA commuter rail, MBTA bus, or MetroNorth bus. 4. Expand outreach to employers by MassRIDES, including incentives for carpooling. 5. Expand peak-period MetroNorth bus service from the ARTC. 6. Add off-peak MetroNorth bus service. 7. Establish a park-and-ride shuttle service from Peabody. 8. Explore cross-ticketing/fare payment arrangement on privately operated shuttle services. Office of Transportation Planning Page 2 of 4 Printed: 6/27/2006 I-93/1-95 ITF TDM Subcommittee Meeting of May 25, 2006 9. Install static signage or Variable Message Signs (VMS) on I-93 and Rte. 128 promoting carpooling and transit. 10. Increase MBTA reverse-peak and local bus service such as on Route 354 (Boston, Woburn and Burlington) and extending Route 132 to serve the Reading commuter rail station, the ARTC, and nearby employers in Woburn. 11. Enhance MBTA commuter rail service on existing lines such as improving peak-period headways between the ARTC and Boston to 15 minutes, adding additional off-peak and reverse-peak service, particularly between Boston and the ARTC, or providing additional parking and train capacity. 12. Extend MBTA commuter rail services into Plaistow, Manchester or other cities in New Hampshire. 13. Extend MBTA rapid transit lines, such as the Orange Line to Route 128 in Reading/Wobum or the Red Line to Route 128 in Lexington. Meeting attendees first discussed options 1- 4, all of which are either ongoing or are to be considered for immediate action. Sudhir Murthy asked why the ARTC is not well used. Joe Cosgrove commented that commuters identify the station with Logan Express. Also, he added that many drivers on I-93 opt to continue to the Orange Line as opposed to getting on the commuter rail. The Orange Line provides more frequent service to Boston and there are a number of private parking lots to accommodate cars when the MBTA lots are full. Ed Tarallo said it not as easy for Woburn residents to get to the ARTC as it is for them to get to the Mishawum station. Jim Gallagher also said that access for Woburn residents is an issue. Ed commented that specific information, such as traffic conditions, train departure times, parking availability at the ARTC and on the Orange Line, may provide drivers with the information they need to choose the ARTC for their commute. Bob Frey said TransitWorks' Parking Roundtable has been working with the applicable agencies to develop strategies to improve the use of the ARTC. As part of this discussion, it was pointed out that the Federal Highway Administration's VMS guidelines discourage many types of messages from being posted due to safety reasons. There were also some questions about the status of the Mass 511 system implementation and the need for other ITS infrastructure. Jim Gallagher expressed frustration that the team seemed to be focused on the impediments to implementing these TDM and transit options instead of the strategies for overcoming these challenges. Jim felt there is virtually no impediment to providing information on parking availability at Anderson RTC - it does not require ITS. He felt that the information could be easily provided by flipping a switch that changes a sign on the highway to read "full." He suggested that the approach for developing highway solutions be used for developing transit solutions. This sentiment was echoed by George Katsoufis later in the meeting. Jim added that improving pedestrian access would make a difference. Ed Tarallo said that the New Boston Street Bridge will also improve access. Rob said that Jim Gallagher made an important point because the visionary, high impact solutions are dependent on greater utilization of the ARTC. It was decided to separate option 2 into 2.A and 2.13: 2.A to concentrate on the creation of the formal Park & Ride and 2.13 to concentrate on promoting the ARTC in general. It was also agreed that option 3 should be more general and include a number of periodic marketing strategies to continuously promote the use of the station and services in the area. All subcommittee members agreed that as modified, options 1- 4 should be presented to the Task Force as "ready to be evaluated." Of Transportation Planning Page 3 of 4 Printed: 6/27/2006 Office of I-93/1-95 ITF TDM Subcommittee Meeting of May 25, 2006 Option 9 (signage) is related to option 2.13 (promote ARTC). Attendees discussed the wide variety of technology intended to help motorists. Bob said that Planning is pursuing signage options for ARTC, and new stationary signs could be part of the solution. He asked the team to split option 9 into three parts: A) static signage, B) variable message signs, and C) Mass 511, GPS, cell phone technology and other ITS strategies. It was agreed to add options 8 and 9 to the list of "ready to be evaluated." Subcommittee members then discussed the mid-range options 5 -7 which focus on expanding the MetroNorth shuttle service. With regard to option 7, Bob informed attendees that Planning's Park & Ride coordinator is looking at a new location in Peabody which is currently an under- utilized Logan Express lot. George Katsoufis said there are other parking lots on Route 128 north that should be investigated for Park & Ride use. He thought that a dedicated bus lane should be considered to offer bus riders a significant travel time savings, an incentive for the inconvenience of taking the bus. Jim Wensley said implementing a dedicated bus lane in this area would be difficult. Ed Tarallo thought that it was premature to suggest expanding the MetroNorth service since it has only recently been implemented. He said that ridership and resources issues need to be examined before specific service expansions can be considered. Members also began discussing the need and benefits of option 10. Jim Gallagher asked how these recommendations will be used. Jim Purdy said these components will be incorporated into the regional model to estimate the. number of drivers potentially diverted to the alternatives. George Katsoufis suggested this analysis be paired with other studies, such as an estimate of VMT reduction due to these components. After some discussion, it was agreed that reasonable targets for trip reduction would be set, and from there, service expansions would be developed that would allow reaching those targets. Members agreed that options 5-7 and 10 should be grouped into the category "requiring further development." Attendees discussed how to approach developing options and whether less realistic and/or expensive options should be considered. Jim Gallagher noted that the regional transportation model will detail land use scenarios and will be available in June. Joe commented that option #I I is the most feasible of the last three options. He briefly discussed the MBTA's policy for buying rail cars, saying that only bi-level cars will be bought. On the south side, cars can not be added to the trains in most cases, so single level cars are being replaced with the bi-level cars. On the north side, cars can still be added to the trains so the single-level cars are being moved to the north side as they become available. It was agreed that option 11 would be grouped into the second category: "requiring further development." Options 12 and 13, although not to be taken off the table completely, would be "not recommended for evaluation" due to their high cost. Also, those in the second category have been studied previously and were not highly rated. In general, attendees agreed to produce a list of well-supported recommendations that are reasonable. Bob thanked everyone for attending and closed the meeting shortly after 4 PM.

In accordance with EOT's policy of an open study process, all Task Force meetings are open to the public, but agenda items are discussed first with Task Force members. He encouraged everyone to check the study website (www.9395info.com) for updates. Bob asked if there were any questions or comments on the May 10 meeting summary, which had been distributed via e-mail to Task Force members prior to this meeting. There were none. Bob said the main purpose of today's meeting is to discuss a variety of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and transit components to be considered as part of a package of recommendations. A TDM subcommittee meeting was held on May 25 during which these components were discussed and critiqued. The consultant team refined the components based on the subcommittee's input. AWL Office of Transportation Planning Page 1 of 4 Printed: 6/27/2006 I-93/1-95 Interchange Task Force Meeting of May 31, 2006 Transit and TDM Components for Analvsis Jim Purdy reviewed the intent of the analysis of transit and TDM components in this interchange study. This study is not only considering highway improvements, but it is also developing transit, TDM, and land-use measures that may reduce the demand for auto trips through the interchange. Jim Wensley explained that the TDM and transit components are intended to work with the highway improvements that may be proposed. Jim noted that transit and TDM services and facilities can vary significantly in complexity and cost. The team; based on their research and input from the subcommittee, put together a "reasonable" package of components that represents a "middle ground" of options that are neither overly optimistic nor too conservative in terms of cost, ease of implementation, and effectiveness. Some options - such high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lanes or Route 128 circumferential bus service - would need additional and more thorough study beyond the scope of this project. However, this study can recommend that additional studies be conducted. Jim Purdy commented that the proposed recommendations could be compatible with those more complex options. CTPS will analyze the proposed improvements as a package and estimate ridership and mode shifts from the package. Jim Purdy reviewed a handout which discussed the framework for the development of the transit and TDM components and listed the revised components. Jim Purdy said that the components in this first group focus on ridesharing and expanding the use of existing services and facilities. Group 1- Readv to be Evaluated (primarily information enhancement): 1. Enhance the carpool sign-up system to make it fully on-line. 2. Increase utilization of the Anderson Regional Transportation Center (ARTC). 2A. Create formal park-and-ride program. 2B. Improve access by bike, on foot, and auto to the ARTC. 3. Expand marketing transit services in the study area, such as distributing free transit passes. 4. Expand outreach and incentives for carpooling. 8. Explore cross-ticketing/fare payment arrangement on private shuttles to accept MBTA passes. 9. Improve signage and traveler information to promote carpooling and transit. 9A. Install stationary signage on I-93 and Rte. 128 promoting carpooling and transit. 9B. Install electronic signs or VMS on I-93 and Rte. 128 promoting carpooling and transit. 9C. Use real-time traffic, transit schedules, and parking information on signs, web sites, cell phones, or other media. Dennis Clarke asked how many parking spaces are typically empty at the ARTC. Bob Frey said only about 1/4 of the spaces are used on a daily basis, about 400 out of a total of 1,500 spaces. George Katsoufis asked what type of carpool incentives could be incorporated into these components to make them more effective. Ian said MassRIDES is looking into providing carpoolers with passes so they do not have to pay for parking at the ARTC. There are 400 carpool spaces, but it's confusing in that all spaces are marked, giving drivers the impression that they must pay. Suggestions: High-occupancy toll (HOT) lanes have been effective in encouraging carpools in some parts of the country; trial programs offering free transit passes to promote transit use; MassRIDES' Guaranteed Ride Home program for carpoolers; free parking for carpoolers; and the effect of rising gas prices. Tony Kennedy asked about parking fees for commuter rail riders and Logan Express customers at the ARTC. Bob Frey said commuter rail Amb, riders pay $2.00 per day; it is unlikely that the MBTA would reduce parking fees. Logan W 1% Express users pay a substantially greater fee which is based on length of stay. Tony Kennedy Office of Transportation Planning Page 2 of 4 Printed: 6/27/2006 QY I-93/1-95 Interchange Task Force Meeting of May 31, 2006 said carpooling is hard to promote because many people feel it restricts their schedules too much. Paul Medeiros asked how will the incentives to carpooling be marketed and how will we be able to change people's behavior? Ian said that MassRIDES does a lot of marketing by working directly with employers and coordinating carpools among their employees. Ian said he is currently working with 30-40 employers in the interchange area. Tony Kennedy asked if other park-and-ride lots had been identified. Bob Frey said EOT would consider parking arrangements at an underutilized Logan Express lot in Peabody (Massport was planning to discontinue service at this lot; it has now announced it will continue Peabody Logan Express service for at least one year and evaluate the service at that time). Jim Purdy summarized the three potential tasks to help promote these "Ready to Evaluate" proposals: 1) provide information, 2) change driver behavior, and 3) establish new services and facilities. These three things are needed to help make the measures successful. Jim then presented the components that are categorized into Group 2. He said that these components focus on expanding existing service to provide more frequent service over a wider area. Grouu 2 - Reauirin2 Further Develoument (primarily added service): 5. Expand MetroNorth shuttle from the ARTC. 6. Add off-peak MetroNorth shuttle service. 7. Establish a park-and-ride service from Peabody, potentially at or near the Massport Logan Express lot. This could also potentially include MBTA bus connections from Salem and Beverly. 10. Increase MBTA reverse-peak and local bus service on routes such as the Route 354 and the Route 132. 11. Enhanced MBTA commuter rail service on existing lines. 11 A. Improve Lowell Line headways between the ARTC and Boston for "shuttle service" approximately every 15 minutes during peak hours. 11B. Add more service north of the ARTC on Lowell and/or Haverhill lines There was a discussion about how effective new or expanded bus services could be on congested highways without dedicated rights-of-way. George Katsoufis asked if the bus service components could be modeled with dedicated transit ways (HOV or HOT lane) to see the ridership difference between bus in dedicated right-of-way and bus in mixed traffic. Jim Wensley acknowledged that the biggest drawback to bus service in mixed traffic is that the bus is in the same traffic as automobiles, so with no time savings, there is less incentive to use the bus. The consultant team will ask CTPS to analyze how raising the assumed speed of the buses to 60 mph would affect the mode share as predicted by the transportation model. This would approximate the effect of an HOV lane or dedicated transit way. Grouu 3 - Previouslv Studied by Others and Not Highly Rated 12.

Bob Frey said the projects would be carried forward by EOT to be evaluated and submitted to the Metropolitan Planning Organization for inclusion in the Transportation Improvement Program. Ed Tarallo said that if the components are evaluated as a package of improvements, the danger exists if some of the more difficult components to implement are eliminated, ridership would be less and Office of Transportation Planning Page 3 of 4 Printed: 6/27/2006 10 I-93/1-95 Interchange Task Force Meeting of May 31, 2006 the effectiveness of the package could be severely reduced. Jim Purdy said one goal at this stage of the planning effort is to encourage many of the inexpensive and easy-to-implement actions be done, then as the planning and design process proceeds, increase focus on the more difficult components with more analysis and deliberation. Bob said that EOT will be looking at a multi- modal approach to the problems. Ed asked about the cost of the Group 2 components. Jim Wensley said that is unknown at this time, but the team will evaluate the impacts and cost of each. George Katsoufis requested that the team use the same approach for screening transit and TDM options as is being used for the highway components. Bob Frey said the team will use the identified project evaluation criteria on TDM and transit components 5 through 1113. George requested that long-range components 12 and 13 be evaluated if some of the other more promising components are deemed not effective. Jim Wensley emphasized that the elimination of some options from the package does not mean that the team thinks these things should not happen, but simply that they are not deemed to be cost-effective solutions at this time. Paul Medeiros recalled the sale by the MBTA of the Mishawum commuter rail station and the sale of the Registry in Stoneham and said that other sites with transit potential owned by the state should be considered to support TDM measures. He said that parking prices are not the same -in different communities-parking is free at the West Medford station but $2.00 at the ARTC. This also makes it difficult to attract commuters to the ARTC. Jay Corey said Woburn is building a new park-and-ride lot in downtown Woburn that will be free. Jim Wensley said that the package of components will be put into the model and analyzed for the 2025 no-build scenario and as well as with each build alternative. The results will be presented to the Task Force. Jay Corey asked for a table of TDM/transit "pros and cons" similar to that prepared for the highway components. He also requested graphics illustrating highway components H1, H2, H3, and H4.. These will be provided. Schedule Bob Frey said the next Task Force meeting will be Wednesday, June 28 at Stoneham Town Hall. At least one subcommittee meeting will probably be held over the summer to help advise the consultant team. The Task Force will not meet as a whole in July and August, but notices of subcommittee meetings and review documents will be sent to members via e-mail during the summer months. The next public informational meeting will be held in the fall. The meeting adjourned at 6:30 PM.

No. Pages (including cover): 1 Governor Romney has signed into law Rouse Bill 5056, a $245 million capital supplemental budget forFY'06. I am very pleased to report that the following earmarks for the Town of Reading were included in the final document and signed into law by the Governor: ® $325,000 for sidewalks on Franklin Street (item 6005-0030); and o $200,000 for a matching contribution for the enhancement of recreational sites (item 70040097). Additionally, the Governor approved a $55 million increase in statewide Chapter 90 road funds, on top of the $120 million already allocated for those expenses in the current fiscal year. Reading's share of this money should be calculated shortly by MassIlighway. I hope these earmarks come as welcome news for the town and its residents. Additional funding for the town included in the House version of the FY'07 state budget remains subject to action by a legislative conference committee and subsequent consideration by the Governor. I will keep you appropriately updated as to the status of those deliberations. Should you or any other officials in town have any questions about these items, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I have to drop off a letter at Town Hall and I will see if you are available then, or check you schedule with Paula to see if we can talk via phone. The CPDC met last night and discussed the formation of the "master plan implementation" group. The result was the board felt strongly that creation of a separate group was unnecessary and would rather pursue the "planning" activities that seem to fall off of our calendar by adding one additional "official" CPDC meeting each month focused solely on Planning. The board members committed to this activity and felt that quorum and focus would not become. problems. Therefore I would ask that the BOS hold-off creating this master plan implementation ad hoc. We can (and will) review our progress in the fall to see just how successful and valuable this approach becomes, and if there are issues will address them within CPDC or with your and the BOS's help.

He is clearly a consistent commuter, as evidenced by the previous three months' stickers still on his window. While I understand that parking is at a premium in Reading, it is too bad to penalize commuters who pay in advance, have been good customers for over a year, and had put up with nearly daily inconveniences for weeks. It would have been nice to get a warning. Having been forced to use the pay lots a few times because I couldn't access the parking area I paid to use, this was just hard to understand. I have heard through the grapevine that there is much more roadwork to come and also that you are likely to abolish commuter parking permits. I hope you will make more of an effort to help residents and non-residents who are unfamiliar with all of the local roads navigate around the worksites, and ask your officers to try to be a little more helpful in directing traffic. I had exactly *one* officer in weeks and weeks who was good enough to direct me to streets that would bring me an accessible portion of High St. The detour signs were inadequate. This whole situation has turned me off of shopping in Reading. I have grown comfortable with several business over the year plus that we've been commuting. But we'll do fine sticking to North Reading. Thank you for reading.
