Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan City of Albany 1 INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND In 2009, the City of Albany, in partnership with the Capital District Transportation Committee (CDTC), completed Albany’s first ever Bicycle Master Plan, which identified a network of preferred bicycle routes, created policy goals, and made infrastructure design recommendations. Envisioned as a 20-year plan, it created a bicycle network with classifications for major bikeways, neighborhood routes, and multi-use trails. Each segment included a discussion of proposed and possible treatments. In 2017, the City adopted a Complete Streets Policy and Design Manual. Considering the different types of streets, it included design considerations for bicycle and transit elements, and design guidelines for streetscapes and sidewalks. WHAT IS THIS PLAN? The City of Albany Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan was proposed by the City of Albany to create a Pedestrian Master Plan and to further develop the City’s 2009 Bicycle Master Plan. It has been funded by the City of Albany and CDTC through its 2019-2020 Community and Transportation Linkage Planning Program, an implementation program of CDTC’s New Visions regional transportation plan. This Plan reviews existing conditions and compares them to the community vision as informed by previous planning efforts and input to this Plan. In a comparison of the two, it recommends projects, policies, and programs, to ensure safe, comfortable, and convenient active transportation options for all residents and visitors. The Plan sets forth context-sensitive recommendations to create a comprehensive active transportation network that enhances public space for walking and biking. Streets play an important role in generating vibrant, strong communities. Recognizing the public health, safety, and economic benefits of well-designed streets, the Plan will support future investments that provide safe and enjoyable bike and pedestrian access to local retail, schools, workplaces, transit, and other key destinations. The objectives of this Plan include prioritizing walking and biking that benefit most people, and in particular those living in high-sensitivity equity areas, providing access to transit, reducing congestion, and supporting inviting places to walk and bike for recreation. Plan Vision . More of Albany is served by walking and biking networks that are welcoming, intuitive, and continuous . Walking, biking, and transit are viable transportation options that support a sustainable future . Albany’s streets feel safe and comfortable for all people who use them . A culture of awareness and compassion supports

  • Pinebush Transportation Study Update
    Pinebush Transportation Study Update September 2004 SUMMARY The Albany County Department of Public Works submitted a proposal under CDTC's 2000-01 Community and Transportation Linkage Planning Program requesting that CDTC staff update the 1985 Pinebush Area Transportation Study to "address all of the changes which have occurred since the completion of the Pinebush Area Transportation Study in 1990." The county's proposal indicated that the study would be used to develop a consensus and gain support of all the municipalities and interested parties in the area. The county's proposal was approved and $20,000 was programmed for the study. To accomplish the goals of the linkage study, CDTC staff looked at the transportation system in the Pinebush Study area and identified physical changes that took place over the fifteen-year period, such as intersection configuration, bicycle/pedestrian accommodation, physical condition, etc. To evaluate how the current transportation system is performing, CDTC staff first compared current traffic counts with the 1985 counts and determined where growth, if any occurred. Next, CDTC staff identified the locations where traffic growth exceeded the background growth rate for Albany County and identified any attendant development that occurred that could explain the increase in traffic growth. CDTC staff looked at capacity and level-of-service (LOS) issues at all the locations where current counts were taken. Threshold analysis was conducted at all the intersections and links where current counts were available. Intersection level of service analysis using HCM was conducted at those intersections where current traffic counts and signal timing plans are available. Speed-delay runs were conducted along three major corridors in the study area--New Karner Road, Washington Avenue Extension and Western Avenue.
