Signalized Intersections Alternatives

1. Mine Road and Midpoint Lane Restricted Crossing U-Turn (RCUT)

The proposed improvement will reconfigure the side street (Midpoint Lane) of the intersection such that all side street (Midpoint Lane) movements begin with a right turn, rerouting the left-turn and through vehicles from Midpoint Lane to turn right onto Mine Road and make a U-turn at a dedicated median opening. Crosswalks will be constructed on each leg of the intersection to connect the proposed sidewalk and shared-use path along Mine Road. The installation of an RCUT will reduce the number of points where vehicles cross paths, eliminate the potential for head on crashes, and improve overall intersection operations.

Please rate the proposed RCUT improvement at the intersection of Mine Road and Midpoint Lane. (170 responses)

2. Mine Road and Midpoint Lane Thru-cut 

The proposed improvement will install channelizing islands on the side street (Midpoint Lane) of the intersection to create left-turn and right-turn only lanes, which will prohibit through movements and reroute the side street (Midpoint Lane) through vehicles to make a U-turn at a dedicated median opening. Crosswalks will be constructed on each leg of the intersection to connect the proposed sidewalk and shared-use path along Mine Road. The installation of a thru-cut will reduce the number of points where vehicles cross paths, reduce the number of potential crashes, reduce the time stopped at the intersection, and improve overall operations of the intersection. The thru-cut differs from the RCUT alternative by allowing a left-turn movement on the side street (Midpoint Lane) which is redirected to a right and U-Turn in the RCUT alternative.

Unsignalized Intersections Alternatives

1. Mine Road and Settlers Way RCUT 

The proposed improvement will reconfigure the side street of the intersection such that all side street movements begin with a right-turn, rerouting the left-turn and through vehicles from Settlers Way to turn right onto Mine Road and make a U-turn at Cathedral Lane to complete the desired movement. The installation of the RCUT at Settlers Way will improve overall safety and operations at the intersection.

3. Mine Road and Cathedral Lane RCUT 

The proposed improvement would reconfigure the eastbound Cathedral Lane approach to be a right-turn only lane, which would redirect the drivers wanting to turn left onto Mine Road to turn right onto Mine Road and make a U-turn at New Bedford Court to complete the desired movement. The reconfiguration is also proposed to restrict southbound right-turns from Mine Road to prevent cut-through traffic in the neighborhood. Drivers wanting to make this right-turn would be redirected to turn right further south at Northampton Boulevard and continue west to Cathedral Lane. The intersection would remain unsignalized. A crosswalk for pedestrians is also proposed at this intersection to connect to the existing sidewalk on the east side of Mine Road. The installation of the RCUT at Cathedral Lane would improve overall safety, operations, and pedestrian access at the intersection.

5. Mine Road and New Bedford Court RCUT 

The intersection has safety concerns including poor sight distance turning left out of New Bedford Court. The proposed improvement will reconfigure the westbound approach such that all side street movements begin with a right turn, rerouting the left-turning vehicles from New Bedford Court to turn right onto Mine Road and make a U-turn at Cathedral Lane. A crosswalk will be constructed across Mine Road to connect the existing sidewalk to the existing trail on the west side of Mine Road. The installation of the RCUT at New Bedford Court will improve overall safety, operations, and pedestrian access at the intersection.

Mine Road and Garrisonville Road Alternatives

1. Mine Road/Staffordboro Boulevard and Garrisonville Road Intersection Additional East/West Through Lanes 

The proposed alternative will include the addition of a fourth through lane on the eastbound and westbound Garrisonville Road approaches. Other improvements include installing intersection lighting, reviewing signal timing to prevent red-light running or T-bone crashes, adding intersection or add advance warning signs with flashing lights before the intersection to warn drivers of stopped traffic, adding curb extensions, and installing a high visibility crosswalk on the westbound approach. These improvements would reduce crashes, increase capacity for the eastbound and westbound approaches, and improve pedestrian access. 

Please rate the proposed addition of a fourth through lane in the eastbound and westbound directions on Garrisonville Road at Mine Road/Staffordboro Boulevard. (134 responses)

2. Mine Road/Staffordboro Boulevard and Garrisonville Road Displaced Left-Turn  

The proposed alternative will include the installation of intersection lighting and signalized crossover areas for left-turn lanes before the main intersection. U-turns movements will also be restricted. This will allow left turns and opposing through movements to occur simultaneously at the main intersection which in turn will reduce crashes and improve operations and safety with the following design changes.

3. Mine Road/Staffordboro Boulevard and Garrisonville Road Tight Urban Diamond  

The proposed alternative will elevate the eastbound and westbound through traffic above the intersection and the adjacent Salisbury Drive/Stafford Market Place intersection to allow free-flow eastbound and westbound movements between Doc Stone Road and I-95. Separating the through traffic from the local traffic will increase efficiency of the operations at the intersection. Pedestrian safety will be improved by the shorter crossing distances and a smaller intersection footprint.

4. Mine Road/Staffordboro Boulevard and Garrisonville Road Michigan Urban Diamond 

The proposed alternative at Mine Road/Staffordboro Boulevard and Garrisonville Road will elevate the eastbound and westbound through traffic above this intersection and the adjacent Salisbury Drive/Stafford Market Place intersection to allow free flow movement eastbound and westbound movements between Doc Stone Road and I-95. Separating the through traffic from the local traffic will increase efficiency of the operations at the intersection. Left-turn movements at the intersections will be redirected to make a U-turn at adjacent intersections. Pedestrian safety will be improved by the shorter pedestrian crossing distances and a smaller intersection footprint.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Alternatives

1. Shared-Use Path and Sidewalk along Mine Road (Option 1) 

The proposed alternative will add a 5-foot-wide sidewalk from Cathedral Lane to Greenspring Drive on the east side of Mine Road. A 10-foot-wide shared-use path will be constructed from Exeter Lane to the proposed Hampton Run Commercial site/Midpoint Lane on the west side of Mine Road to improve bicycle and pedestrian safety and accessibility. Due to space constraints with the existing stream crossing and retaining wall, the shared-use path would be narrowed to five feet between Settlers Way and Highpointe Boulevard.

2. Shared-Use Path and Sidewalk along Mine Road (Option 2) 

The proposed alternative will add a 10-foot-wide shared-use path along the west side of Mine Road by shifting the Mine Road southbound lanes between Settlers Way and Highpointe Boulevard into the existing grass median. A five-foot-wide sidewalk will be constructed from Cathedral Lane to Greenspring Drive on the east side of Mine Road.
