Belfield ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE Keith M. Nichols Hampton Roads Planning Camelia Ravanbakht, PhD District Commission 723 Woodlake Drive Chesapeake, Virginia 23320 (757) 420-8300 http://www.hrpdc.org ABSTRACT This report is the fourth in a series of Intermodal Management System (IMS) reports for Hampton Roads, Virginia. Phase I of the Intermodal Management System for Hampton Roads, Virginia, which was released in July 1996, summarized the region’s intermodal transportation system (intermodal facilities, major intermodal conflict points), identified the region’s intermodal goals and objectives, and established performance measures for passenger and freight movements. Phase II, which was released in April 1998, summarized the movement of freight to, from, and within the region. International, national, and local level freight movements were also investigated for highway, rail, water, and air transportation modes. Phase III updated the previous reports and included a statewide freight movement analysis, a detailed regional truck analysis, and lists port-related improvements in Hampton Roads. This report updates all three previous phases. In addition, this reports provides a review of freight industry terminology, a list of public and private freight data sources, a military freight analysis, a commodity flow data analysis with existing (2004) and projected (2035) conditions and locations of freight bottlenecks within the region. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This report was prepared by the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission (HRPDC) in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), the Virginia Port Authority (VPA), and the member jurisdictions of the Hampton Roads region.

  • Glossary of Port Industry Terminology
    Glossary of Port Industry Terminology Berth: 1) The area allotted to accommodate a vessel alongside a wharf, or the area in which a vessel swings when at anchor. 2) Or in “cruise terminology ” a bed. Berthage: A tariff charged to a vessel occupying a berth. It is calculated by applying the current tariff rate per GT for each of the first 2 twelve-hour periods. Each additional hour is charged at a lower published rate per GT. Bollard: Is a short vertical post used on a ship or a quay, principally for mooring. Breakbulk: Non-containerized general cargo. Examples include iron, steel, machinery, linerboard, woodpulp and yachts. Cabin: A passenger room onboard the cruise ship – sometimes called a stateroom or a berth. CBSA: Canada Border Services Agency (occasionally referred to as Canada Customs). Coastal Trading Act: An Act respecting the use of foreign ships and non-duty paid ships in the coasting trade. (Canadian version of American “Jones Act” see cabotage below). Cabotage Water transportation term applicable to shipments between ports of a nation; commonly refers to coastwise or intercoastal navigation or trade. Many nations, including the United States, have cabotage laws which require national flag vessels to provide domestic interport service. (In US this is referred to as the “Jones Act”). Chart Datum: A plan below which the tide will seldom fall. The Canadian Hydrographic Service has adopted the plane of Lowest Normal Tides (LNT) as chart datum. To find the depth of water, the height of tide must be added to the depth shown on the chart. Tidal heights preceded by a (-) must be subtracted from the charted depth.

  • 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.
