  • TRANSPORTATION PLAN Land Use Patterns and Transportation Systems Are Inherently Interconnected
    05 TRANSPORTATION PLAN Land use patterns and transportation systems are inherently interconnected. Proximity to efficient and connected transportation networks is a primary factor in determining where new development occurs. However, the traffic generated from new development often exceeds the capacity of transportation systems and traffic becomes more congested. Traffic congestion and high volumes, lack of connectivity, are among the largest complaints of residents in growing urban fringe communities such as Holland Charter Township . As such, it is important for land use planning and transportation planning to be coordinated, and for the transportation system to allow individuals to get around not only by car, but also by walking, bicycle, or public transportation . This section is an analysis of the current and future transportation system in the Township . 64 Holland Charter Township Comprehensive Plan – A Unified Vision 2020 Existing Transportation Analysis Essentially, the existing public road network in the Township is under the jurisdiction of the Ottawa County Road Commission (OCRC) or the Michigan Department of transportation (MDOT) . Private streets are typically under the jurisdiction of Homeowners Associations (HOAs) or a Property Owners Association (POA) . In general, the major transportation corridors in Holland Charter Township are well-connected and provide access from one area of the Township to another, as well as into neighboring municipalities . The road network in the Township is comprised of an interstate highway, principal arterial roads, County Primary, and County Local streets. The major road corridors with the highest traffic volumes in Holland Charter Township include US-31, Interstate-196, Douglas Avenue, Riley Street, and Lakewood Boulevard. Given the general suburban and pockets of rural character of Holland Charter Township and in addition to the major road corridors, the Township also includes a number of shorter distance, less traveled local streets .
