Section 4 HIGHWAY ELEMENT 4.0 Introduction The plan development process involved building and testing alternate street plans until an acceptable plan evolved for adoption. This process basically followed three steps: 1. Alternate Plan Development or Modification; 2. Assignment of Year 2035 Traffic; and 3. Alternate Plan Evaluation Based on Future Traffic Assignment. This procedure was repeated for each alternate considered. The selected plan includes expansion of arterial and collector systems, upgrading some existing arterial highways to expressways, and constructing new freeways and expressways. 4.1 The Adopted Highway Plan The Huntsville Long-Range Highway Plan is shown on Map 4.1, and at Table 4.1 and Table 4.2. The maps are further divided into quadrants. Maps 4.1A, 4.1B, 4.1C, and 4.1D provide a closer snapshot of proposed road projects. All roads, interchanges, and maintenance & operations projects that are indicated on the map in red are visionary projects. This means that no funding has been identified for the projects. All roads, interchanges, and maintenance & operations projects that are indicated on the map in blue are classified as financially constrained projects, and funding has been identified for these projects. More information concerning the financial status of the projects can be found in Section 10. All projects have accommodations for bicycle and pedestrian facilities, except where noted in Table 4.1. Certain locations cannot accommodate pedestrians and/or bicycles because the corridor is a limited access or controlled access roadway, such as I-565, Memphis to Atlanta Highway, Southern Bypass, Research Park Boulevard, and the Weatherly Road Extension to the Southern Bypass. Some corridors identified for improvement, such as Memorial Parkway/U.S. 231, U.S. 72 East, and U.S. 72 West are U.S. routes and carry high volumes of traffic. The cost of constructing the appropriate bicycle and pedestrian facilities for these corridors is cost prohibitive at the present time. Most maintenance and operations projects do not include bike and pedestrian facilities due to the nature of the projects (i.e., new signalization, geometric improvements, etc.). All City of Huntsville capacity projects will include right of way, curbs, gutters, and sidewalks in accordance with the city’s subdivision regulations. Refer to Section 7 for additional information and policies concerning the accommodation of bicyclists and pedestrians in regard to the long range transportation plan. 4-1 O MAIN ST STATE LINE RD L ROADWAY FROM TO BORDER LINE RD ALABAMA LINE RD D LO D S O 53 R B UV 1 Ardmore Hw y-AL 53 Research Park Blvd Jeff Rd P D R B E SC D R T R ERRY O S O R LB U E 2 Ardmore Hw y-AL 53 Jeff Rd North of Harvest Rd H U M Map 4.1 E ELKWOOD SECTION RD D H G H R C T S R D 7TH S IG N 3 Ardmore Hw y-AL 53 North of Harvest Rd Tennessee State Line U RD ISBELL E I R OW RD E H K L RD W O L W E L A D H A Y MANLEY RD D 4 Balch Rd Brow ns Ferry Rd Gooch Ln L O H 2 R W L L L I Y SWEET SPRINGS RD 5 ST ST CLAIR RD B O D O 1 MACEDONIA RD V E 5 Balch Rd Capshaw Rd Gooch Ln J Year 2035 Transportation Plan E L O CARRIGER RD S SCHOOL HOUSE RD SHIP B U D H BOLES RD C D T R M 6 Balch Rd Extension Brow ns Ferry Rd Madison Blvd T N S A I E N O D O D P 7 Beadle Ln Sw ancott Rd Zierdt Rd T R R T L DOZIER RD NL L K BUTTER &EGG RD I O L Corridor Improvement Projects SCOTT RD L S A R 8 Blake Bottom Rd Jeff Rd Research Park Blvd E E P LAMBERT RD E R CHARITY LN H D E R B L U R T R D L 9 Brock Rd U.S. 72 East Ryland Pike E E I A L I L OAKGROVE RD NG K B H S R P M BETHEL RD O 53 R P M D 10 Brow ns Ferry Rd Mooresville Rd County Line Rd UV CARTERGROVE RD S O R W U O JOE QUICK RD D F H R NIX RD E D CLEMRD S N R A R BUTLER RD N H 11 Capshaw Rd Jeff Rd Old Railroad Bed Rd A A DAVISRD N I D T R D S D R I HATS R E Y GROV NEW MARK A E LOVELESS RD E R R T L Y T 12 Church St Monroe St Oakw ood Ave R D MOU N THACH RD N D O E RD D STON S D E SANDLIN RD W M E R JADE RD I R L 13 Dug Hill Rd Broad Armstrong Dr U.S. 431 OPP REYNOLDS RD W H E L L C N N A IL N I 14 Eastern Bypass (PH 2) Quarter Ln U.S. 72 East D Huntsville Area NEW GARDEN RD BETH RD C M R HIGHWAY 231-431 WO W OLEY SPRINGS RD I S JIMMY FISKRD L R 15 Eastview Dr Slaughter Rd Hughes Rd B J Y L A I C R O URRI A H A MOORESVILLERD D NER U H H D Y SCHOOL RD R C D 16 Eastview Dr Extension Hughes Rd Sullivan St Y 41 WALKER LN K H R E E N PULASKI PIKE Y ¬ D N O « R T H S S Transportation Study O ( R N E H WALES ST O A 17 Greenbrier Rd/Pow ell Rd Ext North of I-565 U.S. 72 West W R E T P U O T P A M D R U A D E P TH R L L D R U R 3 O 18 Hobbs Island Rd U.S. 231 U.S. 431 S ¬ BAIN RD « D M CAR C EY RD MCKEE RD R D R PATTERSON LN STEG E OSCAR PATTERSON RD 19 Homer Nance Rd Jordan Rd Winchester Rd R DRAWBAUGH RD HIGHWAY 53 1 D T I-65 I-65 5 L BEAVE 20 Hughes Rd Old Madison Pike U.S. 72 West D R HUBER RD 2 DA O R Y D M H A D Inset W 21 Hughes Rd Extension U.S 72 West Wall Triana Hw y O H CARTERS GIN +$ H R RD RD OAKWOOD AV G R C 40 D BLACK RD HI NIN G ¬ N « Y 22 I 565 Interstate 65 Wall Triana Hw y E 52 R ( AP HARVEST RD A «¬ H 23 W T T L D C R MONROE RD MACON LN E ¬ EAKIN RD R S « H S RD D 23 I 565 Oakw ood Ave High Mtn Road B L Y E R N A N L E N E I I 2 JEFF RD A N N Y P O I V «¬ V P A 24 I-565 Interchange* County Line Rd U A T A S CI D O I L I BEATLINE RD ROBINS RD Y 231 G L R A D R R R £ A 39 25 I-565 Interchange* Greenbrier Rd ¤ N R S R T I E «¬ K I M R V BURWELL RD ( U D H L I H M E 95 H P R L S R 26 Jeff Rd (Ph 1) University Dr Capshaw Rd G «¬ I A D K A T E U C E R O MT LEBANON RD O W W N U 12 O N N 27 Jeff Rd (Ph 2) Capshaw Rd Douglass Rd L O 48 R D ¬ L R T « T R I Y LAKE RD «¬ B D S N 28 Jeff Rd (Ph 3) Douglass Rd AL 53 R ED RAY RD H L M 56 E E «¬ A 54 C 66 D S RAILROAD RANDOLPH AV «¬ L&N Y D M ¬ D N « BOB WADE LN A TRANSPORTATION M I BOB W E 29 Johns Road Plummer Road University Dr 38 A CSX «¬ R 28 55 L R UNIVERSITY DR R E R «¬ ¬ 72 5 ( « O L M 6 O E E R ¤£ B 5 VIL SMITH RD O L 30 Jordan Rd (Ph 1) Homer Nance Rd U.S. 72 East - E 94 O I MEADOWS RD 231 M E D P «¬ R L R CALIFORNIA ST 1 £ I V ¤ E A I «¬ A 31 Jordan Rd (Ph 2) Moores Mill Rd Homer Nance Rd EUSTIS AV V I P V H O N CK DAVIS RD R L S L E 51 C O R D Y «¬ D T HALL RD A P 65 R CLINTON AV D C 32 King Drake Rd - 431 Connector King Drake Rd US 431 Y T M K 93 FRANKLIN ST OAKDALE RD S S B U ADAMS ST 1 R L W § ¬ ¨¦ LINTON RD « H P N 3 47 A S E W 91 33 Martin Rd Zierdt Rd Laracy Dr. ") D R ¬ E Y « RAILROAD E ¬ « H Y E 19 N A G R JONES RD DOUGLASS RD R TRANSPORTATION ¬ A G « W N A MENEFEE RD CSX H JEFF RD L L S 34 Martin Rd Zierdt Road Rideout Rd D L U W O L D 74 A D PEPPER RD I R 565 H «¬ A T 38 K M N I G R BLA 35 Maysville Rd Connector Maysville Rd Epw orth Dr I KE BO ¬ S « N TTOM RD ¦¨§ E Y CHAS T D H ( ALABA MA E S RAILRO AD 27 ( RTRANSPORTATION CRAFT RD 8 AUTHO RITY E T CSX HALL AV E T ¬ NORFO LK « SOUTH ERN «¬ RAILRO AD R 36 Memorial Pkw y Interchange* N.
