Orange County Transportation Planning Division Or ange County Plan Multimodal Cor r idor Pre se ntatio n August 2014
Pre se nta tio n Outline • Project Context • Project Overview • Recommendations • Project Implementation • Coordination with Other Initiatives
Pro je c t Co nte xt • Goal to have transportation better reflect land use • Transportation plan historically roadway-focused • 2011 legislation removed state mandates • Develop and implement a different approach – More urban, multimodal, safer for pedestrians/bicyclists
Pro je c t Co nte xt • Make key State/County corridors more multimodal • Year 2040 network designed to leverage limited available funding – Coordinated plan to make investments add most value – 2013 impact fee changes allow funding of operational projects – Use maintenance/resurfacing to add multimodal features
Pro je c t Ove rvie w
Pro je c t Ove rvie w Phase 1 • Plan document addresses safety and planning needs • Based on extensive technical analysis • Analysis of County and specific corridors • Understand trends and potential solutions to support balanced network
Pro je c t Ove rvie w Organized by Theme: – Safety – Livability – Technology – Economy – Amenity
Pro je c t Ove rvie w: Sa fe ty • Analysis of crash data, intersections, posted speeds • Complete Streets guidelines/ corridor review • ADA assessment • Pedestrian safety strategies
Pro je c t Ove rvie w: L iva b ility • Land use and placemaking – Orange Avenue – University Boulevard • Lighting, landscaping, and streetscape • “Road diet” analysis • High quality transit areas
Pro je c t Ove rvie w: T e c hno lo g y • Fiber optics and adaptive signals • Red light safety cameras • Beacons / traffic control technologies • Pedestrian/bicycle data collection • Multimodal trip planning for real- time travel information
Pro je c t Ove rvie w: E c o no my • Potential Multimodal Focus Areas – International Drive – UCF • Major employment clusters • Freight mapping and analysis – From MPO Freight Plan update • Revenue constraints • Public-private partnerships
Pro je c t Ove rvie w: Ame nity • Recreational trails / Trails Master Plan – MPO Trail Crossings Working Group • Multiuse path network • Parking • Bikesharing / carsharing – MPO Bike Sharing Working Group
Re c o mme nda tio ns: Sa fe ty • Multimodal Roadway Conceptual Analysis template • Orange County Complete Streets policy • ADA compliance and resurfacing costs/implementation (Public Works ADA Compliance Initiative) • Pedestrian Plan activities, based on County priorities and budget, as part of new County safety program • Road Safety Audit for identified “clusters” of high-crash locations • Engineering and planning evaluation on County roadways with posted speeds above 45 MPH
Re c o mme nda tio ns: L iva b ility • Review of sidewalk width and pedestrian connectivity • County Trees in the Right of Way Group recommendations • Evaluation of “bicycle boulevard” prototypes – Low speed/bike priority streets – Need data first • Pilot study of University Boulevard corridor transition – Future year transition – Parallel facilities (Richard Crotty Parkway)
e c hno lo g y Re c o mme nda tio ns: T • Availability of beacons and safety features from FDOT • Cost-benefit analysis for state contracts for technology purchases • FDOT’s product lists for new options • Feasibility of open source multimodal trip planning tools • GIS layers of available current pedestrian/bicycle counts and turning movement counts (TMC after 2015 retiming) • Feasibility of annual TMC program • Feasibility of pedestrian counters in key locations
Re c o mme nda tio ns: E c o no my • Modeling of proposed Multimodal Focus Areas • Freight movement prioritization on Economy Corridors • Orange County freight-related roadway projects for FDOT Investment Element • Feasibility of public-private partnerships and Transportation Development Authorities (Florida Statutes) • Cost analysis of multimodal/Complete Streets prototypes for capital/operations/maintenance • Design-build feasibility/training for County staff
Re c o mme nda tio ns: Ame nity • Grant program to seek funding for trails/pedestrian/bicycle enhancements • GIS inventory of multiuse paths • MetroPlan Orlando’s Bike Sharing Working Group recommendations • MetroPlan Orlando’s Trail Crossings Working Group recommendations – Prioritize County pedestrian and bicycle counts at these intersections • Further study on on-street parking
Pro je c t I mple me nta tio n Phase 1 • Public Works ADA Compliance Initiative • Multimodal Sand Lake Road Roadway Conceptual Analysis • Road Safety Audit for Texas-Americana • New Pedestrian Safety Program • Freight-related roadway projects to regional/state freight plans
Pro je c t I mple me nta tio n Phase II • Developing multimodal 2040 network • Based on MPO 2040 LRTP projects and projected funding • Modeling and cost projections • Refining transportation-land use performance measures
Pro je c t I mple me nta tio n Phase III • Identify individual corridors for multimodal transition • Determine funding sources/options • Orange County Complete Streets Policy • Develop concurrency alternatives • Guidance for next impact fee update
DRAFT— CONCEPTUAL ONLY
Co o rdina tio n with Othe r I nitia tive s • Orange County Sustainability Plan • Forthcoming Sustainable Land Development Code – Land use context – Street standards • MetroPlan Orlando’s 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan – State projects – Funding projections • Forthcoming FDOT Complete Streets standards
