    TOLL FACILITIES IN THE UNITED STATES Bridges - Roads - Tunnels - Ferries August 2009 Publication No: FHWA-PL-09-00021 Internet: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/ohim/tollpage.htm Toll Roads in the United States: History and Current Policy History The early settlers who came to America found a land of dense wilderness, interlaced with creeks, rivers, and streams. Within this wilderness was an extensive network of trails, many of which were created by the migration of the buffalo and used by the Native American Indians as hunting and trading routes. These primitive trails were at first crooked and narrow. Over time, the trails were widened, straightened and improved by settlers for use by horse and wagons. These became some of the first roads in the new land. After the American Revolution, the National Government began to realize the importance of westward expansion and trade in the development of the new Nation. As a result, an era of road building began. This period was marked by the development of turnpike companies, our earliest toll roads in the United States. In 1792, the first turnpike was chartered and became known as the Philadelphia and Lancaster Turnpike in Pennsylvania. It was the first road in America covered with a layer of crushed stone. The boom in turnpike construction began, resulting in the incorporation of more than 50 turnpike companies in Connecticut, 67 in New York, and others in Massachusetts and around the country. A notable turnpike, the Boston-Newburyport Turnpike, was 32 miles long and cost approximately $12,500 per mile to construct. As the Nation grew, so did the need for improved roads.

  • NW/NE 36Th Street Study Final Report, June 2007
    NW/NE 36th Street Study FINAL REPORT Prepared for: Miami-Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization (Miami-Dade MPO) Prepared by: Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Fort Lauderdale, Florida ©2007 Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. Work Order # GPC III-05 June 2007 NW/NE 36th Street Study EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Introduction NW/NE 36th Street is an important east-west mobility corridor in the City of Miami. The corridor is designated as SR 25 and US 27. This corridor and the adjacent areas have experienced unprecedented growth over the past few years, which is expected to continue over the next several years as large projects, such as Midtown Miami, become occupied. However, the positive aspects of redevelopment come with challenges as well. Maintaining mobility at an acceptable level is critical to the surrounding residential communities, employment areas, businesses, and activity centers. The objective of this study was to develop and evaluate mobility enhancement alternatives along the NW/NE 36th Street corridor in the study area bound by NW/NE 54th Street to the north, NW/NE 20th Street to the south, I-95 to the west, and Biscayne Bay to the east. The NW/NE 36th Street Study performs a review of existing and future traffic conditions and makes recommendations on how to enhance mobility in the study area. A primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of increased demand on the area’s transportation network and to make recommendations on how to accommodate the increase in future traffic. Study Area The boundaries of the NW/NE 36th Street Study are defined as NW/NE 54th Street to the north, NW/NE 20th Street to the south, NW 7th Avenue/S.R.

Study interchanges were evaluated along with interchange influence areas, and ramp junctions to identify deficiencies focusing on recurring bottlenecks. From this review, a series of base Improvements were developed to address specific operational deficiencies and/or local issues raised by stakeholders as well as system improvement alternatives to address key study objectives related to improving system linkage, system capacity, accommodating future transportation demand, modal interrelationships, and provide better safety outcomes. The study also evaluated the feasibility of providing protected bicycle/pedestrian connections between the City of Miami Beach and the City of Miami. This overall corridor report (OCR) for the I-195 CPS, summarizes the efforts undertaken through data gathering, as well as a rigorous analysis of existing and future conditions within the study area to identify and evaluate alternatives that can be further developed in the next Project Development & Environment (PD&E) phase of the project.
