  • Traffic Study Technical
    TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM To: Olga Beltsar, P.E. From: Emily Moser, P.E., PTOE Whitney DiGiantommaso, P.E. Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Date: June 21, 2021 Subject: Granby Street Bike Lanes Traffic Study – Admiral Taussig Boulevard to Willow Wood Drive Introduction Granby Street was identified as a high priority corridor for implementation of bicycle facilities in the City of Norfolk’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Strategic Plan, which was adopted in 2015. The Strategic Plan for Segment 1 of Granby Street—from Admiral Taussig Boulevard to Willow Wood Drive—calls for repurposing one automobile lane in each direction to dedicated, buffered bicycle lanes, with the proposed typical lane configuration shown in Figure 1. This is the starting design concept for the Granby Street Bike Lanes project, which will be further developed as the project moves forward. Figure 1. Proposed Typical Lane Configuration from Strategic Plan The City later prepared an application for SMART Scale funding to implement improvements in this key segment, and they were notified by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) that the kimley-horn.com 4525 Main Street, Suite 1000, Virginia Beach, VA 23462 757 213 8600 Page 2 project was selected for funding. Before formally accepting the state funding, the City desires to further evaluate the feasibility of the proposed lane repurposing with respect to traffic operations. This traffic study was performed to evaluate potential traffic flow impacts resulting from the proposed lane repurposing and to provide information that could be used to refine the project design concept. This report provides a summary of the traffic study results.

  • INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND the Hampton Roads Planning District
    INTRODUCTION BACKGROUND The Hampton Roads Planning District Commission staff has performed a comprehensive regional travel time study approximately every five years since the first travel time study for South Hampton Roads was produced in 1983. The first regional travel time study for the Peninsula was published in 1992. Data collection for the travel time studies prior to 2000 was performed using vehicle equipped with a portable computer and a calibrated distance-measuring instrument. The 2000 and 2005 updates to the travel time study series used global positioning system (GPS) technology for data collection and geographic information system (GIS) technology for data analysis. For this study, travel time data was collected on approximately 1,300 miles of roadway, including all of the thoroughfares that make up the Congestion Management System for Hampton Roads. Hampton Roads Regional Travel Time has traditionally been distributed in multiple reports. The Trip Profile Summaries report contains travel time summary profiles for approximately 1,300 miles of roadway in Hampton Roads, as generated by the GPS/GIS system. This report is distributed electronically, in the form of a CD-ROM, and will also be made available on the HRPDC website. Other reports in the Regional Travel Time series include trip profile summaries for previous study years, travel time contour maps for selected activity centers, and analyses of the travel time data and trends. For the purposes of this study the travel time roadway network was divided into 336 segments of varying lengths. One data collection run was made in each direction during the morning and afternoon peak hours for each segment.

  • Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Hampton Roads Crossing Study (HRCS) Environmental Assessment (EA) Re-Evaluation
    Rationale for Finding of No Significant Impact Hampton Roads Crossing Study Cities of Hampton and Norfolk Introduction FHWA has reviewed VDOT’s August 10, 2018 submittal of their Request for a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for the Hampton Roads Crossing Study (HRCS) Environmental Assessment (EA) Re-evaluation. VDOT’s request included a summary of substantive comments received on the EA and VDOT’s responses. The EA was prepared in accordance with 23 CFR 771.130 to address changes being proposed by VDOT to the Selected Action, which was documented in FHWA’s Record of Decision (ROD) in June 2017. The purpose of the EA was to determine if the impacts resulting from the proposed changes or any other new information or circumstances relevant to environmental concerns would result in significant environmental impacts not previously considered. The EA does not open up for consideration other aspects of the previous environmental studies like purpose and need and alternatives carried forward for consideration. Likewise, the EA does not address resources in any detail where it has been determined the impacts to those resources will not substantially change or will be reduced. Based upon our review and the information that follows, FHWA has determined that NEPA and all other applicable environmental requirements have been adequately addressed and have concluded that the proposed changes to the project will not have a significant impact on the environment requiring the HRCS Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) be supplemented. Background: FHWA issued a Final EIS and ROD in 2001 for the original HRCS. In the ensuing years, VDOT tried to advance the project as a P3 but cancelled the effort in 2006.
