2040 MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PLAN Introduction 2040 MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PLAN Introduction This 2040 Major Transportation Plan envisions a transportation network that provides for the safe, efficient and reliable movement of people and goods. The transportation system plays a vital role in the area’s economic vitality, quality of life and community identity. The plan recognizes the interdependence of different modes of transportation and the importance of utilizing and planning for each mode of transportation to efficiently employ available transportation dollars and meet the needs of the community. The 2040 Major Transportation Plan summarizes the analysis and evaluation of existing and future transportation conditions. It includes an evaluation of traffic safety, capacity, and level of service (LOS), continuity, and connectivity of the existing and planned thoroughfare system. This effort informs Chapter 3, Mobility, of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. Vehicular and bicycle, pedestrian, and public transportation circulation policies related to future growth and land use planning accompany the narrative and provide guidance for future decision making. The last significant update to the City of Murfreesboro’s Major Thoroughfare Plan occurred in 2003 and contained projections for model year 2025. The base year for these projections was 2000. The City has continued to manage the plan and incorporate minor revisions as specific needs and initiatives have evolved over time. The 2040 Major Transportation Plan was initiated by the City of Murfreesboro on behalf of its citizens. The Plan was funded and directed by the City of Murfreesboro with the cooperation of the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Tennessee Department of Transportation and other partner agencies. The plan was completed by Kendig Keast Collaborative and Neel-Schaffer, Inc. in collaboration with the City of Murfreesboro, associated partner agencies and the Murfreesboro community at-large. Vision, Goals, Objectives and Priorities The vision, goals, objectives and priorities described herein will guide future transportation planning efforts in Murfreesboro. The Vision statement is a distillation of the desires expressed by the community and provides direction to transportation planning efforts. Goal setting identifies specific targets to achieve the vision. Objectives and Priorities are steps for implementation and are quantifiable so progress can be measured. Vision The citizens of Murfreesboro came together with elected officials and key stakeholders to draft a vision for their future. The comprehensive plan identified four main priorities which function as overarching themes for the overall planning strategy. Priority 1, Safe and Livable Neighborhoods; Priority 2, Strong and Sustainable Financial and Economic Health; Priority 3, Excellent Services with a Focus on Customer Service; and Priority 4, Engaging Our Community. In support of the overarching themes, the citizens of Murfreesboro desire to construct and maintain a multimodal transportation system that promotes: › Accessibility › Efficiency › Environmental protection, energy conservation and sustainable development › Local and Regional connectivity, and › Preservation of the existing transportation system The vision inspired eight main goals. These goals and the objectives needed to obtain them are outlined below. Goals and Objectives Eight transportation goals are listed below. Associated objectives are listed after each goal.

Ensure timely and reliable access for emergency response vehicles G8: Promote health and livability a. Continue to support greenways implementation efforts b. Educate citizens on the benefits of multi-modal options c. Support efforts to retrofit older neighborhoods for multi-modal transportation Purpose and Importance of Long Range Planning The long range planning process is an opportunity for the community and public officials to come together to plan for future infrastructure needs. As part of the process, a demographic analysis of the community is performed and future demands on infrastructure are projected. A vision for the community is established through a collaborative public input process and actionable goals and objectives are set. This allows community leaders to allocate funding and resources in a way that best meets the needs of the community. The federal government codified the need for long range transportation planning in 1962 with the Federal- Aid Highway Act. The Act served as the authorizing legislation for expenditure of surface transportation funds and successive legislation required Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPO’s) to develop plans and programs through a continuing, cooperative and comprehensive planning process (3-C). The City of Murfreesboro and Rutherford County are members of the Nashville Area MPO. The City’s 2040 Major Transportation Plan will be utilized by the MPO to establish Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) priorities and funding. Study Area For the purposes of this plan, the study area will include all land where growth is projected in reasonable proximity to or within the Urban Growth Boundary adopted by the City of Murfreesboro. The study area is shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Study Area Figure 1.1: Functional Class MapFigure 1.1: Functional Class Map Demographic Overview An analysis of demographic data will be provided as part of the network analysis in Tech Memo 2. Inventory information compiled during the existing Murfreesboro 2035 land use analysis will be utilized to update and modify socioeconomic data including population, dwelling units (single family, multifamily, etc.), and employment categories (office, industrial, retail, etc.). Population and employment estimates will be developed for future year forecast (2040) based on the Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) structure and future land use plan. This data will be compiled for each TAZ to generate base year demographic data. Special generators will be developed, as necessary, for unique land use categories. The socioeconomic information will be collected by category and by TAZ based on number of employees, building square footage, number of hospital beds, students, etc. These categories will be developed in sufficient detail based on stratifying similar trip generation characteristics. Aging in place Creating a healthy, well connected community requires special attention to the elderly and families. Each group has specific transportation needs that should be considered as part of this Plan. The Elderly In a City of approximately 116,000 residents (2014), 10% are over the age of 65 and this number is expected to increase. The increase in elderly drivers and pedestrians has implications for safety and operational efficiency. In addition, infrastructure must support the health and independence of the elderly population. In fact, in a survey was conducted as part of the Murfreesboro 2035

  • "Just Mention Electricity and the Most Humdrum Citizen Immediately
    "Just mention electricity and the most humdrum citizen immediately becomes a poet, and when we think of it, there is no other servamt of humanity that performs so many useful duties for us." Towards an understanding of the history and material culture of Pre-TVA Hydroelectric Development in Tennessee, 1900 - 1933. PART I. By James B. Jones, Jr. The technology and design of electrical systems and the institutions formed to administer them matured together. In his book Networks of Power, Thomas P. Hughes, perhaps the foremost historian of the field, reveals three stages in the development of light and power in the United States from roughly 1890 to 1930. Varying with small differences in detail, the evolution of Tennessee's electrical supply system before the advent of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) correspond to the delineations Hughes discerns. This is not to suggest, however, that the evolution of hydroelectric power generation occurred in a lock-step manner, o- ne phase leading inevitably, logically and instantaneously to the next in an orderly, chronological procession of pre-ordained events. Indeed, development was more spasmodic as circumscribed by the temporal limits of this narrative. The main characteristic of the first stage was the emergence of low voltage, small, direct current (d.c.) lighting companies. As the forerunner of the contemporary electrical utility industry, these centrally located hydroelectric plants supplied light and electricity only to nearby municipalities. Because such low-voltage d.c. systems as these could serve only the small geographic areas to which they were confined by want of future developments in long distance electrical transmission, the number, not the size, of hydroelectric plants grew.

  • Battle of Stones River
    Battle of Stones River Table of Contents Pages 1. Content Essay: 2-5 2. Primary Source 6 1 Battle of Stones River The fall and early winter of 1862 was a difficult time for the Union army and northern morale. Although he had stopped a Confederate invasion, General George B. McClellan had failed to cut off the fleeing Confederates and destroy Robert E. Lee’s army after the Battle of Antietam. Instead, Lee’s army slipped quietly back into Virginia where it would continue to cause frustration for the Federal army. In December, the Union Army of the Potomac, commanded by General Ambrose Burnside, was soundly defeated at Fredericksburg. Also, General Ulysses S. Grant, the hero of Fort Donelson and Shiloh, had failed to capture the Mississippi River post at Vicksburg. This failure was largely due to Confederate cavalry raiders, such as Nathan Bedford Forrest and Earl Van Dorn, who ran circles around Grant’s plodding army cutting communication lines and confiscating supplies. Although a Confederate invasion of Kentucky had been repulsed at Perryville, General Don Carlos Buell seemingly refused to deploy his Army of the Cumberland to attack Confederate General Braxton Bragg’s Army of the Tennessee. In October, Buell was replaced by William S. Rosecrans. Lincoln made it clear that if Rosecrans wanted to keep his job, he had better march against Bragg.1 In essence, the Union needed a victory, and Lincoln hoped Rosecrans would provide it. In December, President Jefferson Davis visited Bragg’s headquarters at Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Citizens of the small town showered the beloved president with balls and dinners.

  • The Battle of Stones River: the Soldiers' Story
    National Park Service Teaching with Historic Places U.S. Department of the Interior The Battle of Stones River: The Soldiers' Story The Battle of Stones River: The Soldiers' Story (Stones River National Battlefield) If a soldier ever saw lightning, and heard the thunder bolts of a tornado at the same time the heavens opened and the stars of destruction were sweeping everything from the face of the earth, if he was in this charge, he saw it.¹ The bloody Civil War battle fought among the rocky cedar glades near the town of Murfreesboro, Tennessee, left an indelible imprint on the lives of many a soldier and his family. As one gazes across the narrow waters of Stones River today, it is difficult to imagine the carnage of a Civil War battle. The quiet waters no longer echo the sound of cannon fire or screams of death. The cold limestone and cedar thickets no longer resound with the sharp sound of 10,000 muskets delivering their deadly charges. But perhaps we can imagine soldiers struggling along what was once a cotton field, picking the harvest’s remains to stuff in their ears so that the din of battle might somehow seem more distant. For many, the quiet came too soon. The battle at Stones River claimed 23,000 casualties--it was the second bloodiest battle fought west of the Appalachians during the Civil War. The Stones River National Battlefield stands today as a silent reminder of those individuals who lost their lives there. ¹W. J. McMurray, M.D., History of the Twentieth Tennessee Regiment Volunteer Infantry C.S.A.
