  • 2040 MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PLAN Introduction
    2040 MAJOR TRANSPORTATION PLAN Introduction This 2040 Major Transportation Plan envisions a transportation network that provides for the safe, efficient and reliable movement of people and goods. The transportation system plays a vital role in the area’s economic vitality, quality of life and community identity. The plan recognizes the interdependence of different modes of transportation and the importance of utilizing and planning for each mode of transportation to efficiently employ available transportation dollars and meet the needs of the community. The 2040 Major Transportation Plan summarizes the analysis and evaluation of existing and future transportation conditions. It includes an evaluation of traffic safety, capacity, and level of service (LOS), continuity, and connectivity of the existing and planned thoroughfare system. This effort informs Chapter 3, Mobility, of the 2035 Comprehensive Plan. Vehicular and bicycle, pedestrian, and public transportation circulation policies related to future growth and land use planning accompany the narrative and provide guidance for future decision making. The last significant update to the City of Murfreesboro’s Major Thoroughfare Plan occurred in 2003 and contained projections for model year 2025. The base year for these projections was 2000. The City has continued to manage the plan and incorporate minor revisions as specific needs and initiatives have evolved over time. The 2040 Major Transportation Plan was initiated by the City of Murfreesboro on behalf of its citizens. The Plan was funded and directed by the City of Murfreesboro with the cooperation of the Nashville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Tennessee Department of Transportation and other partner agencies. The plan was completed by Kendig Keast Collaborative and Neel-Schaffer, Inc.

  • Developing a Sequence Stratigraphic Framework for the Late Devonian Chattanooga Shale of the Southeastern Us: Relevance for the Bakken Shale
    DEVELOPING A SEQUENCE STRATIGRAPHIC FRAMEWORK FOR THE LATE DEVONIAN CHATTANOOGA SHALE OF THE SOUTHEASTERN US: RELEVANCE FOR THE BAKKEN SHALE Jürgen Schieber Department of Geology, The University of Texas at Arlington, Arlington, Texas 76019 ABSTRACT The Late Devonian Chattanooga Shale of Tennessee and Kentucky is in most areas a thin black shale deposit of less than 10 meters thickness. It is a distal equivalent to the almost 3000m thick Catskill sequence, and encompasses most of the Frasnian and Fammenian. Although originally thought of as a continuously, though slowly, deposited deep water shale unit, the Chattanooga Shale shows internal erosion surfaces at various scales as well as storm deposits. These features suggest comparatively shallow water deposition (tens of meters water depth), and a stratigraphic record with numerous interruptions of various duration. A number of erosion surfaces are laterally extensive and can be traced from exposure to exposure through the entire outcrop area (over distances of as much as 300km). Erosion surfaces of this type are considered sequence boundaries sensu Vail, and tracing them has made it possible to subdivide the Chattanooga Shale into as many as 14 sequences. These sequence boundaries are very subtle. The following features are indicative of their presence in a given outcrop: 1) sandy, silty, or pyritic lag deposits of up to several cm thickness; 2) sharp-based shale beds; 3) low-angle truncation of shale beds; 4) scoured surfaces; and 5) soft-sediment deformation in underlying shales. Tracing erosion surfaces from outcrop to outcrop is based on a combination of: 1) petrographic matching of lag deposits; 2) the petrography and microfabrics of individual shale packages; 3) conodont data; and 4) gamma ray surveys.
