Recommendations Recommendations June 3, 2008
This test case focused on CSO #12 to mitigate flooding in the Hal Greer Boulevard underpass. The proposed alternatives were evaluated for the following goals: Eliminate underpass flooding up to a 5-year design storm. Eliminate the localized flooding issues within the basin. Reduce the number of CSO events per City of Huntington, WV Long Term Control Plan (LTCP). Improve water quality.

Complete Streets The plan identified 9 projects in Huntington where CSO improvements, roadway improvements, and rightsizing, coupled with installation of green infrastructure, can achieve these goals: Reduce impervious surfaces throughout the city and increase groundwater recharge and retention of stormwater Reduce vehicle speeds and make drivers more aware of their surroundings Create community identity and provide a sense of place for each corridor Improve safety for all travel modes Provide opportunities for users, regardless of economic status, and reduce dependence on single driver trips Encourage redevelopment and community investment
Complete Streets: 5 th Avenue Part 1 Business Area (29th Street to 20th Street) Current configuration: Four travel lanes (one way - east) Planned configuration: Three 11-foot travel lanes with a dedicated two-way cycle track, and bioretention swales adjacent to sidewalks. Pavement updated with porous asphalt or pervious pavers under the cycle track. University Area (20th Street to 16th Street) Current configuration: Four travel lanes (one way - east) Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes and an 8-foot two-way cycle track on the north side. Include a 10-foot center pedestrian refuge with bioretention bulbs. Install parallel parking on both sides. On the north side, install 6-foot sidewalk and a 6-foot green buffer. On the south side, install 6-foot sidewalk and 6-foot green buffer. Pavement updated with porous asphalt under the cycle track. At either end of this section of corridor, there would be an opportunity to establish gateway wayfinding to the Marshall University academic campus Residential Area (16th Street to 13th Street) Current configuration: Four travel lanes (one way - east) Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes and an 8-foot two-way cycle track on the north side. Include a 10-foot center pedestrian refuge with bioretention bulbs. Install parallel parking on both sides. On the north side, install 6-foot sidewalk and a 6-foot green buffer. On the south side, install 6-foot sidewalk and 6-foot green buffer. Pavement updated with porous asphalt under the cycle track

Complete Streets: 16 th Street Underpass Area (8th Avenue to 7th Avenue) Current configuration: 2+2 travel lanes (bi-directional) with 4-foot sidewalk on west side and 2-foot sidewalk on east side Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes, a center turn lane with bioretention islands, and an elevated bicycle / multiuse path on the east side. Pavement updated with porous asphalt or pervious pavers under the multi-use path University Area (7th Avenue to 5th Avenue) Current configuration: 2+2 travel lanes (bi-directional) with 12-foot sidewalk and street parking on both sides from 7th Avenue north to the alley and then 2+2 travel lanes (bi-directional) with center striped turn lanes and 12-foot sidewalk on both sides from the alley north to 5th Avenue. Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes with a 6-foot center pedestrian refuge, street parking on one side, a dedicated two-way cycle track, and bioretention swales adjacent to sidewalks. Pavement updated with porous asphalt or pervious pavers under parking areas and cycle track. The northbound Hal Greer Boulevard and 5th Avenue intersection presents an opportunity to establish gateway wayfinding to the Marshall University academic campus and the stadium
