Main Campus Transportation Study Summary

 AU generated traffic is trending down  Changes in traffic generated by Campus Plan are slight  These impacts can be minimized through:

 Channelizing pedestrians to signalized crosswalks  Employing signal timings that separate pedestrians and vehicles

 “Big Ideas” to change Ward Circle could improve

conditions even further

 Changes would come about through joint planning effort  Campus Plan to include recommendations for short-term

ideas

East Campus Transportation Study Summary

 Development of AU’s East Campus will not create negative

impacts to vehicle traffic in the surrounding area

 This is due to existing and proposed signal timings at

existing intersections

 Signal at New Mexico has a right-turn arrow from New Mexico to

Nebraska, and a left-turn arrow from Nebraska to New Mexico

 DDOT and AU discussing adding a right-turn arrow to the signal from

Ward Circle to Nebraska Ave  These pedestrian phases at the signals allow for minimal

vehicular impact as a result of the increase in pedestrian activity that will occur due to the development of the East Campus
