  • Our Aging Interstates
    Our Aging Interstates Pennsylvania’s more than 2,700 miles of interstate highways snake into every corner of the state, carrying 1.8 million commuters a day and making the Commonwealth one of the busiest corridors for all those consumer goods people are buying from their phones this Christmas. With the fourth-largest interstate system in the country, including the 63 miles in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania has long been the envy of other states, but now its interstates are deteriorating faster than they can be repaired, Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) Highway Delivery Division Chief Melissa J. Batula said during a report to the Lehigh Valley Transportation Study (LVTS) and Freight Advisory Committee earlier this month. That includes Interstate 78 in the Lehigh Valley, where 62 percent of the roadway surface is rated to be in fair or poor condition, while just $8 million of the $259 million requested for “priority” projects has been programmed on the state’s 12-year plan for interstates. “We have a backlog of $251 million in the Lehigh Valley. We’re severely underfunded,” Batula said. “And that’s just what we need to keep the lights on. We’ve got to start talking about this amongst ourselves.” Those discussions won’t come easy. A report by the Interstate Steering Committee states that $13.8 billion in projects have been identified as priorities, while just $7.3 billion has been slated to be spent over the next 12 years, leaving about 188 “priority” projects unfunded. The ratio is even worse in the Lehigh Valley, where the more than 22,000 trucks daily – the second-highest statewide behind only I-81 – takes a greater toll on the roadway.

  • Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2040
    Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2040 4.1 Roads and Highways Element The largest part of the transportation system is a roadway network of more than 7,000 lane miles and is comprised of NCDOT maintained roads, locally maintained roads, and private roads. In late 2013 the metropolitan area boundary for the High Point MPO increased in size to include the remaining portion of Davidson County not already included in an MPO. This substantially expanded the roadway network for the MPO. Radial movements that are strongest in the MPO are: • Towards Greensboro and Jamestown to the northeast, • Towards Winston-Salem from High Point to the northwest via Interstate 74, • Towards the Piedmont Triad International Airport to the north via NC 68, • Towards Lexington from High Point to the southwest via Interstate 85 and US 29/70, and • Towards Winston-Salem from Lexington via US 52. • There is some radial demand between High Point, Thomasville, Archdale, Trinity, and Wallburg. Heavily traveled routes include: • Eastchester Drive (NC 68), towards Piedmont Triad International Airport • Westchester Drive and National Highway (NC 68), towards Thomasville • NC 109 • Main Street in High Point, • Main Street in Archdale, • US 311 Bypass, • Interstate 85, • US 29-70, • Wendover Avenue, • Main Street and NC 8 in and around Lexington, • High Point - Greensboro Road, and 4.1 Roads and Highways Element • Surrett Drive. Chapter: 1 Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP) 2040 The projects in the Roadway Element of the Transportation Plan come from the Comprehensive Transportation Plan (CTP) for the High Point Urbanized Area. The differences between the Roadway Element of the MTP and the CTP include: • The MTP is required by Federal Law, CTP is mandated by the North Carolina Department of Transportation.

Implementation of this plan allows us to achieve our mission of responsibly providing our customers with the safest and most reliable transportation system possible, given available resources. Like all recent editions, this Work Plan includes all capital projects and programs, maintenance and operations activities, planning initiatives, and administrative functions. This plan contains 2,193 individual work items with a total value of $2.44 billion, consisting principally of work to be delivered or coordinated through MaineDOT, but also including funding and work delivered by other transportation agencies that receive federal funds directly including airports and transit agencies. Although I have the pleasure of presenting this plan, it is really the product of staff efforts dating back to the summer of last year.

  • Brewer Rail Trail Project
    Brewer Rail Trail Project Linda Johns President, Brewer Land Trust City Planner, City of Brewer September 1, 2016 The Brewer Land Trust is excited to initiate the creation of a Rail Trail through the City of Brewer! There is an inactive, overgrown portion of railroad (part of the Calais Branch Rail Line) from Wilson Street to approximately 1,000 feet easterly of Green Point Road which is approximately 2.12 miles in length. This rail bed directly abuts a 196-space City-owned parking lot, Maple Street Park, the City’s Public Safety building, an outdoor ice rink, and valuable wetland and wildlife habitats. Within a very short walk to the rail corridor, is the Brewer High School, an indoor ice arena, Brewer Auditorium, Brewer Library, and the City’s Riverwalk trail along the Penobscot River. This potential rail trail could be used by many for both recreational purposes as well as a transportation connection to other locations. Brewer has seen many more walkers and bicyclists as has the region. The Brewer High School students currently use the roads to run, which is not always the safest. This rail trail could create a loop using Dirigo Drive and Green Point Road from the school. Both the Brewer School Department and the City of Brewer would like to see this project constructed. This potential rail trail could also be a great addition to the East Coast Greenway, which is currently on-road through this portion of Brewer. There is a large wetland owned by the State next to the rail bed on Green Point Road where a variety of animals can be seen on almost any given day creating a great location for birdwatcherst.

    Traffic and Safety Study for US 52 and SR 7 in Lawrence County, Ohio LOS during the peak hours are the intersections of the Ashland Bridge with US 52 and Charley Creek Road Executive Summary with US 52. With no additional investment, in 2030, 14 of the study intersections are projected to operate at This Traffic and Safety Study for US 52 and SR 7 in Lawrence County, Ohio has been conducted to focus on LOS D or worse in the AM or PM peak hours, and 9 would operate below LOS D in both the AM and PM the mobility and safety along the corridor in Lawrence County, Ohio. This plan was developed by Kimley- peak hours. Horn and Associates, in conjunction with the KYOVA Interstate Planning Commission and the Ohio In addition to analyzing quantitative data, public input was obtained to identify the perceived needs of corridor Department of Transportation. The goal in developing this study is to examine the corridor’s current users. A series of public meetings for the study allowed several issues to be identified for the corridor, conditions, reasonably forecast future conditions, and create and evaluate recommendations for dealing with including the following. issues impacting safety and mobility along the corridor. This document explains the efforts undertaken to address that goal. There is a lack of alternate routes to SR 7 in Proctorville to use when incidents occur. Analysis of Conditions The speed limit on US 52 changes from 65 MPH to 55 MPH at the Scioto County line. Consequently, there is a speed differential near the county line as some vehicles slow down and others do not.
