Anatomy of Outagamie County: a Traffic Safety Summary ANATOMY OF OUTAGAMIE COUNTY: A TRAFFIC SAFETY SUMMARY DID YOU KNOW… One individual is killed or injured in a crash in Outagamie County every 6.5 hours? 1 THE PLACE Section Summary Outagamie County is the center of a metropolitan area in which over 225,000 persons reside. The principal routes in the county are I-41, STH 441, USH 45, and STH 29. Outagamie County is among the top ten counties for VMT, the number of registered vehicles, registered vehicles per VMT, urban population, and urban area. It is among the bottom ten counties for VMT per capita, miles of roads per capita, miles of state highways per capita and per VMT, and local roads per capita. Urbanization Outagamie County is the center of the Appleton metropolitan area, and it is adjacent to the Green Bay and the Oshkosh-Neenah metropolitan areas as well as the Shawano urban cluster. 75.26% of the county’s population lives in urban areas, and 10.27% of the area of the county is urban.1 The Oneida Nation of Wisconsin has a reservation in northeastern parts of the county. Road Network Interstate 41 is designated as a north-south freeway that enters the county from the south from Winnebago County and then turns east bypassing Appleton, Little Chute, and Kaukauna before turning northeast bypassing Wrightstown. I-41 carries traffic from De Pere, Ashwaubenon, and Green Bay to the north and Fox Crossing, Neenah, Oshkosh, and Fond du Lac to the south. Further on, I-41 continues southeast to Milwaukee, and the highway also carries traffic between Green Bay and points south and southwest. I-41 connects with United States Highway (USH) 10 just south of the county line, which carries traffic to and from central Wisconsin. USH 41 is concurrent with I-41 throughout the county. State Trunk Highway (STH) 441 is a freeway that begins at I-41 in northeastern Appleton and travels south generally along or near the Appleton, Little Chute, and Kimberly municipal boundaries. To the south, it travels through the portion of Appleton in neighboring Calumet County, and then it travels west through Menasha and Fox Crossing where it reconnects with I-41. USH 45 is a north-south primary arterial that travels along much of the southern half of the county’s western border with Waupaca County, traveling through New London. To the north, USH 45 travels toward Clintonville, Marion, and Antigo, and to the south, it travels toward Oshkosh and Fond du Lac. Business USH 45 carries traffic through the center of New London. STH 96 travels from east to west in the southern part of the county, traveling through Appleton, Little Chute, Kaukauna, and Wrightstown adjacent to the Fox River. In Appleton, STH 96 is Wisconsin Ave., and in Little Chute, STH 96 is Main St. To the east, STH 96 travels to Denmark, and to the west, it travels toward Fremont and connects with USH 10. STH 55 travels from north to south in eastern parts of the county through Seymour and Kaukauna. To the south, STH 55 travels to Sherwood, and to the north, it travels to Bonduel and Shawano. STH 54 is an east-west highway traveling through New London, Shiocton, Black Creek, and Seymour. To the west, STH 54 travels to Waupaca, Plover, and Wisconsin Rapids, and to the east, STH 54 travels to Hobart, Green Bay, and Algoma. STH 76 is a north-south 1 United States Census Bureau. “Percent urban and rural in 2010 by state and county.” Accessed Sept. 29, 2017. https://www.census.gov/geo/reference/ua/urban-rural-2010.html 2 highway that enters the county from Waupaca County to the west and exits the county into Winnebago County to the south. STH 76 travels through Bear Creek and Shiocton. STH 76 connects with USH 45 just across the Waupaca County line, and to the south, it travels to Oshkosh. STH 47 is a north-south highway traveling through Black Creek and Appleton. To the north, STH 47 travels to Bonduel, Shawano, and Menominee County, and to the south, it travels to Menasha. STH 47 is N Richmond St. and S Memorial Dr. in Appleton. STH 15 connects USH 45 just outside New London with I-41 in the town of Grand Chute via Hortonville. STH 125 (W College Ave) begins at I-41 in the town of Grand Chute and heads east into Appleton, ending at STH 47. West of I-41, STH 125 becomes County Trunk Highway (CTH) CA, which travels to Appleton International Airport. STH 187 begins at STH 54 in Shiocton and heads north, traveling through rural areas in northern Outagamie and southeastern Shawano Counties. Combined Locks is between Kimberly and Kaukauna on the south bank of the Fox River. CTH CE (E College Ave.) bypasses the village. CTH N (S Washington St.) travels along its western boundary, CTH HH (Debruin Rd.) travels along its eastern boundary, and CTH K (Buchanan Rd.) travels through the village. Nichols is just west of STH 47 in north central Outagamie County along CTH F. Harrison, primarily in Calumet County, annexed the right-of-way along CTH KK in the town of Buchanan along the part of CTH KK that is directly adjacent to the village. STH 29, which carries traffic between Green Bay to the east and Wausau and Chippewa Falls to the west, is an expressway that that cuts across the extreme northeastern corner of the county where there is an unpopulated 0.02 square mile section of Howard, which is primarily in Brown County. Miles of Roadway There are 2,012 miles of roadway in the county, including 187 (9.3%) miles of state roads, 346 (17.2%) miles of county roads, 1,473 (73.2%) miles of local roads, and six miles of another type.2 Vehicle Registrations and Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) In 2016, there were 74,282 autos, 12,931 cycles, 15,911 trailers, and 97,303 trucks registered in Outagamie County.3 VMT in 2016 was 1,653,240,855.4 Traffic Volume As can be seen, traffic volumes in Outagamie County are highest along the east-west portion of Interstate 41 north of downtown Appleton. The maximum daily VMT in Outagamie county is found on this segment, which is reported at 78,000. 2 Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “County Maps.” Accessed Sept. 29, 2017. http://wisconsindot.gov/Pages/travel/road/hwy- maps/county-maps/default.aspx 3 Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “Facts and Figures 2016, Vehicles Registered by County.” Accessed Nov. 6, 2017. http://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/about-wisdot/newsroom/statistics/factsfig/vehregcounty.pdf 4 Wisconsin Department of Transportation. “2016 Vehicles Miles of Travel (VMT) by County.” Accessed Nov. 6, 2017. http://wisconsindot.gov/Documents/projects/data-plan/veh-miles/vmt2016-c.pdf 3 FIGURE 1: 4 Commuting Flows FIGURE 2: COMMUTING FLOWS AMONG COUNTIES Workers who Reside in Outagamie County Work in: People who Work in Outagamie County Reside in: Outagamie County 61,106 Outagamie County 61,106 Winnebago County 17,245 Winnebago County 15,226 Brown County 8,050 Calumet County 8,151 Waupaca County 1,900 Brown County 4,334 Calumet County 1,875 Waupaca County 4,142 Fond du Lac County 432 Shawano County 923 Dane County 191 Fond du Lac County 577 Shawano County 190 Manitowoc County 415 Milwaukee County 182 Waushara County 366 Manitowoc County 177 Oconto County 317 Waukesha County 106 Portage County 156 Sheboygan County 93 Wood County 90 Portage County 62 Waushara County 62 Dodge County 50 Others 826 Others 1,671 5 As seen below in Figure 3, the most common commuting flow between two different municipalities is between residences in Appleton and workplaces in the town of Grand Chute.

  • South Bridge Connector, Brown County, Wisconsin, Tier I Draft
    SECTION 2 Alternatives Considered 2.1 Introduction This section describes how the Lead Agencies evaluated alternatives to meet the project purpose identified in Section 1, Purpose of and Need for the Project. The project purpose is to identify the most appropriate improvements for addressing existing east-west transportation demand and the demand generated by the planned development in the southern portion of the Green Bay metropolitan area. In each step of the evaluation, alternatives were assessed to determine whether they met the project purpose and the following needs: • Address congestion in the vicinity of the existing Fox River bridges. • Accommodate existing and planned land use and future travel demand generated by planned development. • Reduce travel time by improving east-west connectivity. • Address higher-than-average crash rates and safety issues in the vicinity of the existing Fox River bridges. This section provides an overview of the alternatives development process. Section 2.2 describes the detailed process Brown County conducted from 2006 through 2020 to identify, screen, and evaluate alternatives. Brown County initially identified and evaluated construction alternatives involving improvements to existing roads and new road construction, and non-construction alternatives. New road alternatives are described as general routes. As additional information on the routes was developed, the alternative routes were refined; those retained for detailed analysis in the EIS are described as 500-foot corridors containing a specific working alignment. Section 2.3 describes the Corridor Alternatives retained for detailed study in this Tier 1 EIS, and further explains the use of working alignments. In 2008, the Lead Agencies issued a Notice of Intent to prepare an EIS and began engineering and environmental studies as part of the NEPA process to explore how to address the need for improved east-west travel in the southern Green Bay metropolitan area and meet eligibility requirements for state and federal funding.

    SECTION 1 Purpose of and Need for the Project This section describes the purpose of the project and why the project is needed. The purpose describes what the project is intended to accomplish, and the need explains the transportation concerns and/or deficiencies that the project would address. 1.1 Introduction 1.1.1 Project Background The study area generally comprises the area between I-41 on the west to I-43 on the east, within the City of De Pere and the Towns of Rockland, Lawrence, and Ledgeview (see Exhibit 1-1). The need for transportation system improvements was first identified in the 1968 Brown County Comprehensive Plan, which recommended a future Fox River Bridge south of De Pere in the vicinity of Rockland Road (Brown County 2007). Then in 1991, a study by the Brown County Planning Commission further evaluated a potential bridge location, comparing a crossing at Rockland and Red Maple roads to a crossing at Heritage Road and County F (Scheuring Road). The results of this study were incorporated into the Brown County 2020 Land Use and Transportation Plan (adopted in 1996) and recommended a crossing within a 0.5-mile corridor surrounding Rockland and Red Maple roads. The concept of building a new Fox River Bridge and connecting street system was then included in many local community plans and studies as an important component of future development patterns.
