Project Purpose

The focus of this study is to assess traffic capacity and safety in the study area and identify congestion and safety improvements to be submitted in a funding application package. Congestion mitigation measures will be identified with a specific focus on the west end of the project area where there are two closely spaced signals and high-volume turning movements. The current bus routes and lack of bus infrastructure will be assessed to identify solutions for improving ridership. The effort will also focus on identifying improvements to bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure.

The survey regarding potential transportation safety, congestion and bicycle/pedestrian improvements along Little River Turnpike between Prosperity Avenue and Wakefield Chapel Road is complete.
