GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

  • GOAL 1: Reduce congestion along SR 18, SR 21 and I-77 in the study area
    • Improve traffic operations

        • Measures: Level of Service, Vehicle Hours Traveled, Mainline Delay, Side Street Delay and User benefits

          1. Increase Intersection capacity where needed
          2. Increase mid-block capacity where required
          3. Weaving areas
          4. Ramps
  • GOAL 2: Improve safety along SR 18, SR 21 and I-77 in the study area
    • Reduce crashes along SR 18, SR 21 and I-77 in the study area

        • Measure: Crash Rate per Million Vehicle Miles Traveled

          1. Intersection
          2. Mid-block
          3. Weaving areas
          4. Ramps
  • GOAL 3: Improve drainage along the SR 18 Corridor in the study area
    • Ensure that function and responsive drainage solutions are included in future transportation improvements identified for the study area

        • Measure: Quality of drainage improvements as per ODOT Design Standards

    • Ensure that drainage improvements maintain or provide better water quality runoff and do not increase peak flows into streams and tributaries

        • Measure: Number of detention/retention facilities and structures

  • GOAL 4: Address access concerns along SR 18 when considering the location, quantity and type of local access to be provided along SR 18
    • Identify appropriate access points to SR 18 that benefit traffic flow and safety on SR 18

        • Measure: Number of Driveways
