Mini-Alignment Project Case Study

Traffic flows are unacceptably heavy on Route 146 and on Main (Route 9W) and State (Route 9E) Streets. During peak travel hours (7:30 AM to 9:30 AM and 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM), average trip times are far below State standards for a community of this size. Trips between point A and point B in either direction, a distance of 4.5 miles, require 30 minutes on average.

The study will address a number of alternative routes for motorist traveling to and from naval bases, the Peninsula and Isle of Wight County. Every effort will be made to minimize impact to motorists during the project for commuter convenience during the week with restricted lane closures during off-peak hours. The survey team will evaluate holiday travelers that utilize the tunnel and bridge; which holiday motorist travel the most and what are the peak hours. Logistics resources will propose materials required, turnaround time for material deliverables and

Like normal roads, the National Road began to deteriorate over time and because of that, the federal government stopped funding the road and it was abandoned at Vandalia, IL for “political and practical reasons”. Originally the plans called for it to stretch from Baltimore to St. Louis but the rapid growth of railroads led to the project being abandoned. Even though it never quite reached the final goal, it did eventually stretch 800 miles. Now, present day National Road is now part of U.S. Route 40. Roads today are either under construction or in need of construction. In the year 1811, Washington and Jefferson advocated on the idea to aid western expansion, so work on the “National Road” or “Cumberland Road”. This is the first road that was surveyed by Congress in 1806-7 and built from 1811-37. This road branched from the Cumberland, MD. In order to create this massive road, it had to under very crucial

The Rancho el Pescadero survey (1861) and patent (1865) brought changes to the West Side Road. The grant’s proprietors, eager to evict squatters from their land, erected a fourteen-mile fence along the rancho’s freshly surveyed borders in 1866. Once Generals Frémont and Naglee enclosed the grant, the stage road traced the angled seam between the two Rancho el Pescadero land grants. Travelers have used this alignment continuously—calling it the Stockton–Oakland Stage Road, Banta Road, the West Side Road, the LINCOLN HIGHWAY, US HIGHWAY 50, and INTERSTATE 5—for over 150 years.

There has always been a demand for roads in the United States as roads are essential in the development of a nation. The national interstate highway system was America’s solution for the need of a road system that would stretch from coast to coast. The United States Interstate Highway System is a landmark project and often considered one of the greatest public works projects in American history by making travel by automobile faster, cheaper, safer and more convenient. New roads have been a necessity on our country ever since Henry Ford began to produce the automobile back in in 1903.

Transportation between Compinwood and Eaganville is important to the region’s economic growth and development. As transportation planners for the State of Gilder, our job is to create a transportation plan that will ease congestion, meet the needs of the citizens, and reduce travel time on the SR A. Over the next 25 years, the population of Compinwood and Eaganville are expected to increase and the jobs in Eaganville are expected to increase as well. While the SR A is already heavily congested, it is experiencing an increase in truck traffic due to the increased trade with Florin. Agri Com is a coalition that supports these businesses involved in agriculture and trade with Florin. The SR A is one of the most congested freeways in Gilder

Also, according to the same article, at some points when concrete is being poured, citizens who are living on Main Street may not be able to access their homes. This will cause an inconvenience, as most people work during the day, and when they come home from work, they may not be able to access their homes. Next, also according to the article “South Main Street Reconstruction Still in Planning Stages” By Matt Gardner (www.hngnews.com), the planned detour as of right now is from Interstate 94 to Highway 26, to Highway 18. Another option would be to go from Main Street to Madison Street, then heading out Lake Street and to Highway Q. People who lives on Highway Q, Family's are concerned this road will become overly crowded, which will lead to traffic jams and accidents. In addition, there will be no way around Pinnacle Drive and Topel Street. I spoke with Tara Topel, one of the owners of Topel’s Towing and Repair, and asked her some questions. First, I asked, “Do you think that your business will be affected by the Main Street construction project?” Topel replied by saying, “Yes, it most definitely. `We are actually planning on relocating temporarily during the construction.” Next, I asked “Are you worried”, Ms. Topel replied,

Twin Falls Highway District has a 50-foot-wide roadway easement along all section lines within Township 14 South, Range 60 East, Section 19, Boise Meridian. Structures shall be prohibited within the roadway

The proposed right-of-way corridor measures 18.8 miles in length and includes four new location alternates in the Stokesdale area. The project will be constructed in three sections. Section R-2577A, which measures 5.1 miles in length, begins at the multi-lanes north of Interstate 40 (I-40) Business and terminates at State Route (SR) 1965 (Belews Creek Road) in Forsyth County. Section R-2577B, which is 7.2 miles long, begins at SR 1965 in Forsyth County and ends north of SR 2034 (Anthony Road) in

With the constrained scenario, traffic flow has improved, commute time has decreased, workers are getting to their places of business faster, and the businesses themselves are finding that they can transport their goods in a more timely fashion. The measures that were employed consist of adding directional bike lanes to the bridge, restriping the bridge combined with timed directional transition of the middle 5th lane, additional bus routes, and converting old buildings into domiciles. Although these measures have helped to improve traffic flow in the region, capital will have to be spent at a future date in order to add additional

Thank you for providing the Land use Development/Intergovernmental Review/Community and Regional Planning (LD/IGR) the opportunity to review and comment on the Draft Project Report on Interstate Route 10 (I-10). The purpose of the Project is to improve traffic operations on the I 10 freeway in San Bernardino County to reduce congestion, increase throughput, and enhance trip reliability for the planning design year of 2045. We offer the following recommendations and comments on the Draft Project Report:

Before I begin, I would first like to thank you again for your inquiry and interest in the I-75 Express Lanes Project. As previously discussed, your concerns were forwarded to my project team for review.

The project is located alongside and within existing road and rail transport corridors between the GCUH (Gold coast University

NTS operates on seven fixed routes connecting small urban areas and also connects with other transit systems like Greyhound Busline. The use of NTS has increased from 66,000 to 80,000 riders over a two-year period (LRTP II-F2). Due to poor road conditions the safety for NTS has become an issue. The general plans provided background information on the Navajo Nation Indian Reservation Road (IRR) system and this helps to understand how the nation’s road network operates. Since the nation overlaps different boundaries the IRR system administers the various highway programs, these include tribal, state, county, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), and other agency roads. Almost half of the nation’s highways are BIA roads and majority is unpaved. The interesting part of this section is how these roads are different agency roads but the nation manages to overlook all these roads through the IRR system.
