  • Introduction
    The Tomorrow Plan: Transportation System M E M O R A N D U M To: Sasaki From: Nelson\Nygaard Project Team Date: January 31, 2012 Subject: The Tomorrow Plan: Transportation Existing and Proposed Conditions INTRODUCTION The following report documents existing and proposed conditions for the transportation network, with a profile of each major travel mode (roadway, transit, pedestrian, bicycle), plus a description of the region’s popular trail system. In the Des Moines Metropolitan Planning Area (MPA), 92percent of person trips are made using a personal vehicle.1 At the same time, a robust network of transit, including not just local fixed- route but also demand-response service, an active carpool culture, and multiple Transportation Demand Management programs, provide valuable opportunities for a more multimodal future system. Today, the average vehicle trip within the MPA takes 25 minutes and covers a distance of 15 miles. As shown in Figure 1, commute methods to work are overwhelmingly by private auto. The rate of vehicle ownership, in turn, is high, with just 5.1 percent of occupied housing units without a vehicle available. In comparison, the United States overall has 8.9 percent of households that do not have a vehicle.

    Technical Memorandum Compendium Interstate 235 Ramp Management Feasibility Study April 2014 Prepared For: DRAFT Prepared By: HRG Project Number: 40120022.06 Technical Memorandum Compendium Interstate 235 Ramp Management Feasibility Study DRAFT April 2014 HRG Project Number: 40120022.06 Prepared For: Prepared By: HR Green, Inc. Interstate 235 Ramp Management Technical Memorandum Compendium Feasibility Study CERTIFICATIONS i HR Green, Inc. Interstate 235 Ramp Management Technical Memorandum Compendium Feasibility Study PREFACE The Interstate 235 Ramp Management Feasibility Study has been completed in a system of technical memorandums documenting the project. These technical memorandums are compiled to form the final project deliverable. Technical Memorandum #1: Existing Conditions Review The first of the three memorandums produced documents the existing conditions of the I-235 study corridor. The existing conditions review included a high-level review of crash history, entrance ramp geometrics, documentation of traffic volume data, documentation of travel time data, and completion of traffic operations analysis. Technical Memorandum #2: Ramp Management Strategy Review The second memorandum reviews three components. The first component is the overall ramp management strategy which includes evaluation of isolated ramps versus a group strategy and assessment of metering timing parameters. The second component is the evaluation of I-235 corridor operations for existing and future conditions, with and without the use of ramp metering. The final component is the ramp meter design criteria including whether there is a single lane or dual lane and if dual, whether a dual/simultaneous vehicle release or alternating vehicle release strategy is utilized. In addition, stop bar placement, pavement marking/signing modifications and ITS infrastructure improvements are discussed.
