| Abstract / Summary: |
Goals and Objectives:
The goal of the traffic impact analysis is to examine the potential influence
of renovating Lincoln Square Village site based on changes in two scenarios.
Scenario I is to reflect the changes in traffic demand, inclding trip production
and attraction. Scenario II includes network changes (e.g. road widening and
lanes addition) as well as travel demand changes. Specifically, the objectives
encompass the revitalization of downtown Urbana, mixed landuse and
promotion of walkability.
Site Introduction:
Lincoln Square Village is located in the heart of downtown Urbana, only seven
blocks from the prestigious University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Ideally
situated in the heart of downtown Urbana, the study area is within walking
distance of the Federal Courthouse, the new Champaign County Courthouse,
and the City Hall. There is easy access to public transportation systems. A
mix of commercial and residential properties is proposed in the upcoming
redevelopment project.
Contents:
This report consists of five additional chapters to this executive summary. The
next chapter, sets forth the study of background information of the traffic
impact analysis, including introduction, contexts, method and data sources.
Chapter III describes the Base Scenario which reflects current traffic conditions
in the study area. The report continues to propose Scenario I which represents
the impact of demand changes, and Scneario II integrating demand changes
and network changes to mitigate the negative traffic impacts. Finally, the
report presents conclusions and recommendations to improve the future
traffic conditions in Lincoln Square Village.
Conlusions and Recommendations:
The proposed development in Lincoln Square Village will increase traffic
demand, which in turn will result in congestion in downtown Urbana. The
proposed network changes will mitigate the negative effect of the traffic
demand. Other measures including traffic calming, mixed land use and
public transportation, could also be utilized to promote the efficiency in the
taffic system in the study area. It is expected that these methods could help
transform downtown Urbana into a pedestrian-friendly, safe, and vibrant
neighborhood. |
