This Plan was prepared under work activity 2.0428 of the Unified Work Program of BCATS. The contents of this report reflect the analysis, findings and recommendations of the BCATS planning process and do not necessarily represent programs or projects that have been approved for final funding and implementation by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), or any local road or transit agency. The contents of this report do not necessarily reflect the official views or polity of the U.S. Department of Transportation. This document does not constitute a standard, specification, or regulation. Final funding and implementation approvals are carried out through the Transportation Improvement Program process. This Plan and document were financed by the following means: through grants from the FHWA and FTA; with funds provided by the MDOT (for its staff time); and locally with matching funds provided by the City of Battle Creek, the Calhoun County Road Department, and the City of Springfield. The BCATS 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan was formally approved by the BCATS’ Policy Committee on November 30, 2016. Battle Creek Area Transportation Study 601 Avenue A — Springfield, MI 49037 269/963‐1158 e‐mail: [email protected] website: www.bcatsmpo.org ‐iii‐ Statement of Vision 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan “The 2040 Transportation Plan for the Battle Creek Area Transportation Study is a vision of the area’s transportation system through the year 2040. The transportation improvements in the first four years (2017‐ 2020) of the Plan are considered firm commitments by the implementing agencies. This means that the improvements in the first four years will be completed unless unforeseen circumstances prevent completion. The remaining years of the Plan are a vision of how the transportation system may develop based on the existing master and zoning plans of the cities and townships in the Battle Creek Area Transportation Study area, transit development programs, and the current projections of available revenues. The transportation improvements in the later years (2021‐ 2040) represent current priorities for the future. The transportation plan is updated every four to five years and the priorities for the later years can and will change as conditions warrant.” ‐iv‐ Battle Creek Area Transportation Study Page 4 of 184 2040 Metropolitan Transportation Plan BATTLE CREEK AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY 2040 METROPOLITAN TRANSPORTATION PLAN November 2016 TABLE OF CONTENTS Acknowledgments .......................................................... iii Statement of Vision ......................................................... iv Glossary of Transportation Planning Terms...................................vii–x Chapter I Executive Summary .....................................................

AGRICULTURE/MINING (AG/MNG) ‐ An employment category comprised of workplaces related primarily to agriculture (including agricultural services such as veterinarian and landscaping services), forestry, fishing, and mining (including oil and gas extraction). ALL‐OR‐NOTHING ASSIGNMENT ‐ The process of allocating the total number of trips between each pair of traffic analysis zones (TAZ) to the path or route with the minimum traveltime. ANALYSIS AREA ‐ Any geographic area such as a TAZ or group of TAZs combined for the purpose of making an analysis. ANNUAL AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT) ‐ The total number of vehicles passing a given location on a roadway over the course of one year, divided by 365 (days in the year). Requires permanent traffic recorder to measure annual total. ARTERIAL ‐ Class of street serving major movement of traffic not served by freeways. ASSIGNMENT ‐ See traffic assignment. ATTRACTION ‐ The pull or attracting power of a traffic analysis zone. For non‐home based trips, attractions in a TAZ can be considered synonymous with trip destinations in that TAZ. AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC (ADT) ‐ The average number of vehicles passing a specified point during a 24‐hour period, calculated from an approximation of AADT based on a limited number of 24‐hour counts, adjusted for known variation in levels of travel by month of year and day of week. AVERAGE VEHICLES/DWELLING UNIT ‐ A socio‐economic variable input to determining trip generation. A "surrogate" variable for household income, which relates directly to the number of vehicles available and consequently to the number of trips per day by household members. BASE YEAR ‐ The year selected to which the major portion of data is related. BCATS ‐ Battle Creek Area Transportation Study BLOCKS ‐ The smallest Census Geographic area used as basic tabulation units in urbanized areas with populations of 10,000 or more. CALIBRATION ‐ The procedure used to adjust travel models to simulate base year travel. CAPACITY RESTRAINT ‐ The process by which the assigned volume on a link is compared with the practical capacity of that link and the speed of the link adjusted to reflect the relationship between speed, volume, and capacity. The procedure is iterative until a realistic balance is achieved. CAPACITY ‐ The maximum number of vehicles that can pass over a given section of a lane or roadway in one direction (or in both directions for a two‐lane or three‐ lane highway) during a given time period under prevailing roadway and traffic conditions. It is the maximum rate of flow that has a reasonable expectation of occurring. The terms "capacity" and "possible capacity" are synonymous. In the absence of a time modifier, capacity is an hourly volume. The capacity would not normally be exceeded without changing one or more of the conditions that prevail. In expressing capacity, it is essential to state the prevailing roadway and traffic condition under which the capacity is applicable. Refer to the revised edition of the "Highway Capacity Manual" for more detail. CBC ‐ City of Battle Creek CCRD ‐ Calhoun County Road Department, a department under the governing body of Calhoun County, Michigan CENSUS TRACT ‐ Small areas into which large cities and adjacent areas are divided for the purpose of providing comparable small area population and housing census tabulations.

    Th@ signilicanc@ ol S@rving Do you realize the magnitude of our Kappa Students' Aid Program? Here again Kappa Kappa Gamma excels among the Panhellenic groups. Our Fraternity has already contributed over half a million dollars to the higher education of women in America and in many foreign countries. This year alone we are awarding over fifteen thousand dollars. Women students­ members and non-members-have earned these awards by their high schol­ arship and active campus participation. This is another important area which has brought Kappa widespread recognition in the educational field. Our own Rose McGill Fund is one of the Kappas' main interests. It was established by the desire to assist . a young woman in her fight to regain her health. Expanding through the years, it has played a significant part in the lives of many Kappas both young and old. These borrowed words of a prominent fraternity man exemplify its merit: "This service alone would make any organization worthwhile." Kappa Kappa Gamma assists others in the local communities through the Rehabilitation Services established at the 1952 convention. Through our various alumn~ groups and university chapters we have adopted many worth-while projects which include material aid and service. Through this overall ph,ilanthropic program Kappa is fulfilling a vital service and civic responsibility. Each of us has an instrumental role in the continued success of these valuable endeavors.

On January 7, 2003, and April 30, 2003, we wrote your Band about this issue and provided you with the opportunity to recommend to us the designation, attainment/unclassifiable or nonattainment, of the 8-hour ozone standard, that you believe to be appropriate for your lands. As the next step in this designation process, we have reviewed the available information on the air quality in your area and, consistent with Section :t07(d)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA), by this letter are informing you that we intend to designate Calhoun County, Michigan, including all tribal lands therein, as nonattainment, i.e. not meeting the 8-hour ozone health standard. The EPA is obligated by the CAA to designate air quality for all areas of the United States, including Indian country. It is EPA's responsibility under Section 107(d) (1) to determine if the population within a given area is exposed to unhealthy levels of specific air pollutants, in this case ground-level ozone. We implement this responsibility by identifying the areas that experience the unhealthy air and any nearby areas that are contributing to the air quality problem.
