Brief Overview of Public Outreach

3 Core Group Meetings (October 2014, February/August 2015)

6 Stakeholder Interviews (November, 2014)

Generally, comments were relative to the need for: – Greater interconnectivity (specifically pedestrian facilities

within/proximate to campus; vehicular connectivity to/through campus in all directions)

– Reduction in vehicular/non-vehicular conflicts (campus design and bicyclist/pedestrian behavior and movements)

– Greater awareness/branding of pedestrian-scale environment (both approaching campus and at the gateway into campus)

Brief Overview of Data Analysis

Pedestrian Safety Focus Areas

Safety Focus Areas

• Observed Ped/Bike Volumes

• Vehicular Speed Counts

• Crash Data (June 2006 to June 2014; By Crash Type)

Overall

Recommendations

• Enhancements at 5 Major Intersections (20 Enhanced Crosswalks)

• Addition of 2 Midblock Crosswalks with enhanced pedestrian features

• Enhancements at 13 Minor Roads/Driveways (colored concrete through driveways)

• General Corridor-wide Improvements

Major Intersection Midblock Crossing Minor Road/ Driveways Crossing 8’ Sidewalk 12’ Sidewalk

MAJOR SIGNALIZED INTERSECTION DESIGN CONCEPTS

• Reduce turn radii on all four corners to 25’

• Create pedestrian refuge by extending and widening medians

• Increase pedestrian landing areas as appropriate

• 12’ wide textured pavement crosswalks at all approaches

• Pedestrian-scale lighting

• Installation of trees/shrubbery and fencing in medians, shoulders, between sidewalk and curb near intersections

• Improve LYNX bus stop adjacent to crosswalks

Before

After

MAJOR MID-BLOCK CROSSWALK DESIGN CONCEPTS

• Reduce turn radii to 25’

• 12’ Colored/Textured Crosswalks and realign sidewalk as needed

• Add trees to planting strip between sidewalk and curb to slow traffic and improve pedestrian comfort

• Plant shrubs in median and between sidewalk and curb near intersections to guide pedestrians to cross at safer locations

• Install 8’ sidewalks, moved 8’ away from the curb, to allow greater separation from traffic

• Pedestrian-scale lighting

• Possible relocation of bus stops/shelters

TYPICAL MINOR ROAD/ DRIVEWAY INTERSECTION DESIGN CONCEPTS

• Reduce turn radii on all corners to a maximum of 25’

• Textured pavement crosswalks or continuous sidewalk over minor road/driveway

• Pedestrian-scale lighting at crossings

• Can be done in coordination with landscaping and sidewalk enhancement projects

GENERAL CORRIDOR-WIDE IMPROVEMENTS

• Pedestrian scale lighting throughout, particularly at intersections and crosswalks

• Widen sidewalk to 12’ minimum on east side of Alafaya for multi-use trail

• Widen sidewalk to 12’ minimum on south side of McCulloch Road

• Widen sidewalks to 8’ minimum on west side of Alafaya and both sides of University

• Widen distance between street and sidewalk to 8’ minimum where possible

• Enhanced landscaping/ pedestrian channelization

IN|SYNC – Adaptive Signal Control

Pedestrian Optimization Module

“The Adaptive Signal Control Technology (ASCT) system shall include a pedestrian module feature to optimize service to pedestrian traffic in conjunction with vehicular traffic. The ASCT system is configured to incorporate pedestrian releases into its global coordination and local optimization schemes. By coordinating pedestrian movements with vehicle traffic, the impact of pedestrian calls on vehicular service levels is minimized.”
