Arterial Transportation Management Study
Overview
Arlington County had contracted with Kimley-Horn and Associates, a nationally-recognized transportation planning and engineering consulting company, to examine future travel levels, develop a new street functional classification system, and to develop strategies and measures for managing transportation along arterial roads. The measures and strategies for selected streets has been developed through a community participation process and are intended to be applicable elsewhere. The planning process has embraced traffic safety, pedestrian and transit access and bicycle issues in the county. The process has sought to provide citizens and the County with a framework for arterial roads that multi-modal and fit better in the communities they serve.The Arterial Transportation Management Study has been guided by a study advisory task force organized by the Arlington County Transportation Commission. The study task group has meet with the consultant team and County staff on a monthly basis. The consultant team had been asked to present information to selected County advisory groups at several critical junctures in the study process.
The consultant team has work closely with County staff and members of the Arlington County Transportation Commission to develop an arterial traffic management program that will enhance the movement of people throughout the County and fit with the "urban village" and the desire to have walkable communities. The consultant team has accomplish this study in the following steps:
Research and analyze existing national and international transportation management practices and traffic-calming measures for arterial roadways;
Provide traffic modeling and develop long range travel forecasts to help determine functional classification and capacity issues;
Develop criteria and design standards for a new street functional classification system that considers pedestrian, bicycle, vehicular, and transit facilities in relation to transportation and land use context;
Provide design studies for several of Arlington’s arterial roadways including a community process and development of a preferred alternative;
Develop procedures for a potential arterial transportation management program including process, priorities, resources, evaluation, marketing and a tool box of measures; and
Provide design studies for several of Arlington’s arterial roadways including a community process and development of a preferred alternative.
Schedule
The Study had been initiated in mid-May 2003; the consultant team has completed its work within a nine-month period.
Team
The Study Team was made up on industry leaders in multi-modal transportation planning with an emphasis on safety and pedestrian mobility. Kimley-Horn was the lead consultant with assistance from Dan Burden from Walkable Communities and Ian Lockwood from Glatting Jackson Inc.
