Northern U.S. 130 Regional Transportation and Circulation Plan Burlington County, New Jersey Northern U.S. 130 Regional Transportation and Circulation Plan Burlington County, New Jersey BURLINGTON COUNTY PLANNING BOARD MEETING JULY 28, 2020 3:00 P.M. Initiative At its July 26, 2017 conference meeting, the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders (Freeholders) created a committee to address the growing transportation and circulation issues affecting an area of the county identified as the Northern U.S. 130 Transportation Region Encouraged by the work of the committee, the Freeholders then directed the County Engineer and the Director of Economic Development and Regional Planning to prepare the Northern U.S. 130 Transportation Regional Plan that is based on the preferred solutions for addressing the Region’s traffic problems. Purpose The Plan is to be used when state, county and local government make decisions to have the Region’s road network improved. The Plan provides: 1. a technical basis establishing the need to improve the road network 2. an analysis of recommended road improvements that would accommodate projected traffic at acceptable levels of service 3. recommendations for improving the road network including schematics 4. a recommendation for applying traffic generation apportionment to properties in the Region to determine developers’ fair share contributions made toward off-tract roadway improvements Background The Region covers more than 3,860 acres principally centered along U.S. 130 and served by Exit 6A of the New Jersey Turnpike. It is within Burlington City, Burlington Township, Florence Township and Mansfield Township About 12.3 million square feet of industrial space has been constructed, mostly in the last 15 to 20 years. 9.5 million square feet of industrial space is in the pipeline Potential buildout is > 28.5 million square feet of industrial space Plan overview The Plan is organized in the following manner: 1. Background of the Region’s transportation and circulation system 2. Existing traffic conditions and issues in the Region 3. Current and projected industrial and commercial buildout of the Region 4. Description of recommended improvements to the Region’s transportation and circulation system including schematics and improvement costs 5. Analysis of traffic operations of the Region’s transportation and circulation system: comparison of “no-build” (not constructing) recommended improvements and “build” (constructing) recommended improvements 6.

Analysis of traffic operations of system Consultant WSP analyzed existing and future traffic operations of the transportation and circulation system within the Region. Future regional traffic conditions developed for the year 2040 consist of: (1) traffic from existing land development; (2) a background growth factor for traffic; and (3) projected traffic from future land development. Apportionment of traffic To implement the recommendations of the Plan, the Plan’s apportionment of traffic generated by new development to specific parts of the Region’s highway system is used to determine developers’ fair share contributions made toward off-tract roadway improvements. In some cases, developers will be required to construct the recommended off-tract roadway improvements when their developments significantly benefit from those improvements. In other instances when no one developer pays for and constructs the required off-tract improvements, developers should be required to make their pro-rata share contributions for those improvements to the governmental entity Recommendations for Implementation The Plan provides the basis for needed improvements to the roadway system within the Region and offers recommended improvements for the roadway system to handle current and future traffic projected to 2040. The Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders and the Burlington County Planning Board should adopt this Plan as part of the 2019 County Highway Master Plan. Burlington City, Burlington Township, Florence Township and Mansfield Township should adopt this Plan as part of their municipal master plans. All recommended roadway improvements should be incorporated into the DVRPC’s Long-Range Plan, which informs the DVRPC TIP. Enact local requirements for developer off-tract improvement obligations.

  • The New Jersey Exit 8A Area Transportation and Land Use Study
    The New Jersey Turnpike Exit 8A Area Transportation & Land Use Study For The New Jersey Department of Transportation By The Municipal Land Use Center @ The College of New Jersey Spring 2007 Second Printing Acknowledgements This study was funded by the New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJ DOT). Without its funding and support in other ways the study would not have been possible. It was then Assistant Commissioner Dennis Keck, who first suggested to me the need for this study now several years ago. The helpful insights provided by the NJ DOT project manager, Paul Truban, along with his supervisor, Talvin Davis, require special mention. We met regularly throughout the one-year period of developing this report. The many stakeholder participants who gave of their time, valuable information and wisdom, through individual interviews, the numerous stakeholder forums and even comments on earlier drafts of this report are too numerous to mention here, but should not go unnoticed. One person in this regard ought to be remembered – Mr. Joseph Montanti – who was a source of great encouragement at the outset, especially for me. Joe represented Monroe Township in those forums. Unfortunately, he passed away in April 2006, just as this project was getting underway. Dr. Wansoo Im, principal of Vertices, Inc., provided his expertise related to the electronic mapping and graphics. Always patient, his work is integral to this project. It is important to note that much of Dr. Im’s work is not immediately evident in this report. He created a tool that is now in the hands of the respective municipalities to help them improve their planning across municipal boundaries.

  • Garden State Parkway Interchange 40 Improvement Feasibility Study Galloway Township Atlantic County, NJ
    Garden State Parkway Interchange 40 Improvement Feasibility Study Galloway Township Atlantic County, NJ Overview The New Jersey Turnpike Authority (Authority) has completed a study to evaluate the need for, and feasibility of completing all missing movements at Interchange 40 on the Garden State Parkway in Galloway Township, New Jersey. Based on the results of the traffic projections and impact analysis performed for each of the alternatives studied, construction of the new ramps to the missing movements at Interchange 40 is not considered critical. The current projected pattern of growth in Galloway Township, as well as the greater Atlantic City region, would not justify completion of the interchange at this time, given the significant infrastructure, utility, and environmental constraints associated with the various alternatives studied. Garden State Parkway (Parkway) Interchange 40 is a partial interchange located approximately one mile south of the Atlantic City Service Area in Galloway Township, Atlantic County, New Jersey. It primarily facilitates access to and from southeastern portions of Galloway Township and Absecon, and provides a secondary un-tolled route into Atlantic City via the White Horse Pike (US 30), a major east-west corridor. Interchange 40 provides partial access to and from the north via a southbound off-ramp to eastbound US 30, and a northbound on-ramp from westbound US 30. A southbound on-ramp and northbound off-ramp do not exist and are considered the missing movements. Access to westbound US 30 from the southbound Parkway, and to the northbound Parkway from eastbound US 30, is currently provided indirectly via a signalized jug handle at 3rd Avenue, approximately 1,400 feet east of the Interchange.
