Public Involvement and Outreach • Developed objectives and vision for the corridor • Conducted surveys • Identified priorities • Identified issues and opportunities for all modes of transportation
Existing Conditions • Peak-hour traffic back-ups • Incomplete sidewalk network • Little bicycle accommodation • Frequent driveways and intersections • Aging infrastructure and development
Existing Daily Traffic 11,500 vpd 21,500 vpd 21,500 vpd
Future Conditions • Traffic is forecast to increase substantially – essentially double from today • Intersection conditions could worsen – safety and operations • Increase in delay • Reduction in speed • Reduced mobility
Future Traffic Volumes 15,000 vpd 41,000 vpd 41,000 vpd
The Recommended Plan • Consistent with the adopted city comprehensive plan • Consistent with FAMPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan • Accommodates all modes of transportation • Sensitive to context • Increases capacity – intersections and mid-block • Consolidates access – fewer driveways • Creates gateways • Includes landscaping/streetscaping • Invests in the corridor to encourage new and redevelopment
