Tonight’s Agenda • Project Overview - Purpose • Corridor Safety Study Process • Public Feedback (April 24,2019) • Preliminary Results • Next steps T A

C O N S T R U C T I O N S E RV I C E S Purpose of the Study • Due diligence prior to considering future projects • Evaluate existing safety • Evaluate existing and future traffic operations • Evaluate existing road and bridge conditions • Identify related planning and economic development initiatives • Identify and evaluate options for changes/improvements along corridor • Determine short-range and long-range improvement strategies for the corridor T E A

C O N S T R U C T I O N S E RV I C E S Corridor Safety Study Process • • Identify Project Stakeholders Traffic Signals • • Crash Analysis Roadway Design Criteria • • Environmental Constraints Drainage • • Cultural Resource Constraints Guide Rail • • Involve the Public Signing • • Traffic Data Collection and Transit Analysis • Conceptual Designs and Cost Estimates T A

C O N S T R U C T I O N S E RV I C E S Public Feedback A T E

Public Feedback Public feedback indicated the five (5) most significant issues people are concerned with along the corridor are: 1) Speeding 2) Sight Distance 3) Drainage 4) Passing Lanes 5) Pedestrian/Bicycle Access The top five (5) locations commented on along the corridor were: 1. Kidds Mill Road intersection 2. Wasser Bridge Road intersection 3. Railroad Crossing (south of Methodist Road) 4. Fredonia Road Intersection 5. Columbia Avenue/Hamburg Road intersection

Roadway Design Criteria

Preliminary Results Corridor-Wide • Operational Characteristics • Short-term Improvements (3 years or less) • Long-term Improvements (greater than 3 years) Location-Specific • PA 58 and SR 4011(Columbia Ave.) & T470 (Hamburg Rd.) • PA 58 and SR 4027 (Fredonia Rd.) • PA 58 Kidds Mill Curve • PA 58 and SR 4014 (Oniontown Rd.) • PA 58 and T-919 (Coolspring Street)

Corridor-Wide (Operational) SPEED • Consistent Enforcement • Improve Signing – Gateway Signing • Change Driver Attitude with low cost strategies to call attention driver speed Speed Feedback Signs Changeable Message Boards Partner w/Local Agencies – Media Blitz, Billboards Outreach/Education Coordinate with NHTSA safety campaigns i.e. National Teen Safety Week October 20-26,2019

Corridor-Wide (Operational) I NTERSECTION S IGHT D ISTANCE SR 4011 (Columbia Road) /T470 (Hamburg Road) SR 4003 (Wasser Bridge Road) SR 4012 (Kidds Mill Road) SR 3022 (Line Road)/T595 (Line Road) ▪Improve existing signing ▪ Add additional signing ▪ Improve delineation▪ trim foliage/trees

Corridor-Wide (Operational) P ASSING Z ONES Examine Start/Stop limits in relation to location of intersections and curve limits. � Kidds Mill Road � SR 58 at Kidds Mill Road � SR 58 at Fulling Mill Road � Curve Limits

Corridor-Wide (Short-term) • Maintain Center Line & Edge Line Pavement Markings • Improve Delineation – Access Points – Add Raised Pavement Markings • Tree Trimming within Right-of-Way • Signing Improvements

Corridor-Wide (Short-term) Canadian National Railroad Crossing

Corridor-Wide (Long-term) • Minor Widening • Drainage Improvements • Pavement Resurfacing (Mill/Overlay)

PA 58 and SR 4011 (Columbia Ave. & T470 Hamburg Rd) • Install an Intersection Control Beacon • Construct Curb for Access Control

PA 58 and SR 4011 (Columbia Ave. & T470 Hamburg Rd) Intersection Control Beacon Samples

PA 58 and SR 4027 (Fredonia Road)

PA 58 and SR 4027 (Fredonia Road) • Reconstruct SR 4027 • Improve Drainage • Improve Shoulders along SR 58

PA 58/Kidds Mill Road Curve

PA 58/Kidds Mill Road Curve • Reconstruct Curve to Increase Radius and open up line of sight to Kidds Mill Road

PA 58 and SR 4014 (Oniontown Road) • Install drainage swale along SR 58

PA 58 and T-919 (Coolspring Street )

PA 58 and T-919 (Coolspring Street) • Construct Two-Way Center Left Turn Lane • Improve Drainage

Next steps Finalize Additional field Develop / Incorporate Public Meeting Finalize Report locations to investigations prioritize input from #2 to review evaluate & data improvement public outreach findings further collection strategies May June July / August / September October November T E A
