  1. SOUTHEAST VOLUSIA REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION STUDY (SVRTS): Overview and Combined Proposal STUDY PARTNERS: Cities of Edgewater – New Smyrna Beach Port Orange – County of Volusia CONSULTANT: Ghyabi & Associates, Inc. PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: August 2006 - January 2008 • OBJECTIVES • “To identify and define potential deficiencies and to suggest possible solutions ... in order to maintain adopted level of service ... standards” • V = volume of traffic C = design capacity • V/C ˂ 1.0 Road Succeeds • V/C ˃1.0 Road Fails • Goal: Determine a solution to meet the needs and desires of all four Study Partners • APPROACH/TECHNICAL CHALLENGES • State-of-the-art methodologies: Travel Demand Forecasting (TDF) analyses – 2015, 2025 and 2030 • Land use data – updated to 2005 • Level of analysis –135 Traffic Analysis Zones • 12 different Scenarios with and without I-95 interchanges at Madeline Ave and Pioneer Trail • Close cooperation maintained between Study Partners’ staff and Consultant : 10 meetings • ACCOMPLISHMENTS/RESULTS • Two solutions: Scenarios I (2025) and B-2 (2030) Doris Leeper Spruce Creek Preserve

  2. SVRTS Results • Up to 2025 SVRTS recommendedadoption of Scenario I: • No I-95 interchanges • Inexpensive • Increased safety • Two-lane Williamson Boulevard extension from Airport Road to SR-44 and from SR-44 to SR-442 but • No Williamson Boulevard extension between Pioneer Trail to SR-44 until 2030 • No alternative N-S route to I-95 • Limited access to both Activity Center (Walmart) and proposed Woodhaven Commercial Project • 2030 SVRTS Scenario B-2: • I-95 interchange at Madeline Avenue • Maximal access to north Port Orange • Very expensive • Decreased safety • Two-lane Williamson Boulevard extension from Airport Road all the way to SR-442 • Alternative N-S route • Access to both Activity Center (Walmart) and proposed Woodhaven Commercial Project by all four Study Partners

  5. According to Port Orange An I-95/Pioneer Trail interchange is necessary to alleviate the traffic congestion at the I-95/Dunlawton Avenue interchange. However, SVRTS Concluded that • Proposed I-95 interchanges at both Madeline Avenue and Pioneer Trail provided primarily access at those points but very littletraffic relief for the I-95/Dunlawton Avenue interchange • Proposed interchange at Pioneer Trail would cause the roads east of I-95 in New Smyrna Beach to fail by 2030. “Interchanges provide access, not capacity.” Professional Transportation Planners (PTPs)

  6. 2030 SVRTS Combined Proposal No Madeline interchange Combine SVRTS Scenarios I and B-2, which would include No failure of New Smyrna Beach roads east of I-95 plus a two-laneextension of Williamson Boulevard from Airport Road all the way to SR-442 in Edgewater. This would provide access to all four Study Partners plus the proposed Woodhaven Commercial Projectand all at minimal cost.
