Existing Congestion Projects serving corridor segments that are currently have volumes that are at or over the roadway s capacity. Future Congestion Reduction Demonstration of a reduction in congestion along a corridor from its base year condition to its future year improved condition.
ROADWAY PRIORITIZATION CRITERIA Qualitative Metrics Access to Schools and Community Facilities Projects within ½ mile of schools and community facilities such as parks and community centers. Activity Centers Projects within ½ mile of major retail and commercial areas within the Town. Supports Bus Routes Projects that align with existing and proposed bus routes.
