Southern Corridor Study RecommendationsMarch 16, 2011

The Vision for the Woodville Corridor Study is to:“Provide the residents, businesses and travelers in the Woodville Corridor with an enhanced quality of life, increased employment opportunity and transportation choices while protecting the sensitive natural resources and rural character of the Corridor.”

Balancing the Objectives Mobility options are fundamental

to corridor and community planning The pedestrian is the foundation Land use influences transportation

and transportation influences land use

Protection of communities and natural resources through innovative land use and transportation strategies

Presentation Outline Land Use and Site Design Corridor Protection Mobility Plan Implementation

Land Use

Ground floor uses that support street activities

Opportunities to mix uses vertically

Opportunities to mix uses horizontally

Site Design & Access

Explore reducing parking in front of buildings

Place buildings to support street and sidewalk activities

Place parking at the side or rear of lots where possible

Shared access driveways

Connections between parcels (at rear)

Create New Parks

“parks are valuable community assets that help create places for people to get together”

Other Land Use and Site Design Recommendations Adjust Regulatory Standards

• Encourage Mixed Use Development• Create Compact Development

Provide Sanitary Sewer Construct Closed Drainage System (Curb & Gutter)

Corridor Protection Create Landscape Buffers along Woodville Highway Enact Tree Preservation Ordinances Minimize Large Lot Zoning Promote Cluster Development

Mobility

Creation of Complete Streets PedestriansBicyclesMotor Vehicles

Side Streets - Connecting main street to adjacent business and neighborhoods

Connections to parks and recreation

Three Lane with Sidewalks & Bike Lanes

Three Lane with Parallel Parking & Bike Lanes

Three Lane with Parallel Parking

Access Improvements

“Alignment 4” Parallel Eastern Corridor Connects S.R. 267 to

Extension of Paul Russell Rd Connects into Southside Alternative Hurricane

Evacuation Route

“J. Lewis Hall” Old Woodville to Alignment 4

Two Lane with Passing Lane, Design Speed > 45:South of Commerce

Other Mobility Recommendations Pave Old Woodville Road – Summerwind Circle to Cumberland

Trace Pave Old Plank Road – U.S. 98 to Commerce Blvd. Evaluate Installation of Modern Roundabouts

• J. Lewis Hall Sr. Lane and Woodville Highway• Commerce Blvd and Woodville Highway

Transit – Implement Woodville Express Service
