Pre se nta tio n Outline

• Project Context
• Project Overview
• Recommendations
• Project Implementation
• Coordination with Other

Initiatives

Pro je c t Co nte xt

• Goal to have transportation better reflect land

use

• Transportation plan historically roadway-focused
• 2011 legislation removed state mandates
• Develop and implement a different approach

– More urban, multimodal, safer for pedestrians/bicyclists

Pro je c t Co nte xt

• Make key State/County corridors more

multimodal

• Year 2040 network designed to leverage

limited available funding

– Coordinated plan to make investments add most value – 2013 impact fee changes allow funding of

• perational projects

– Use maintenance/resurfacing to add multimodal features

Phase 1

• Plan document addresses safety and planning

needs

• Based on extensive technical analysis
• Analysis of County and specific corridors
• Understand trends and potential solutions to

support balanced network

Pro je c t Ove rvie w

Organized by Theme: – Safety – Livability – Technology – Economy – Amenity

Pro je c t Ove rvie w: Sa fe ty

• Analysis of crash data, intersections,

posted speeds

• Complete Streets guidelines/

corridor review

• ADA assessment
• Pedestrian safety

strategies

Pro je c t Ove rvie w: L iva b ility

• Land use and placemaking

– Orange Avenue – University Boulevard

• Lighting, landscaping,

and streetscape

• “Road diet” analysis
• High quality transit

areas

Pro je c t Ove rvie w: T e c hno lo g y

• Fiber optics and adaptive signals
• Red light safety cameras
• Beacons / traffic control

technologies

• Pedestrian/bicycle data collection
• Multimodal trip planning for real-

time travel information

Pro je c t Ove rvie w: E c o no my

• Potential Multimodal Focus Areas

– International Drive – UCF

• Major employment clusters
• Freight mapping and analysis

– From MPO Freight Plan update

• Revenue constraints
• Public-private partnerships

Pro je c t Ove rvie w: Ame nity

• Recreational trails / Trails Master Plan

– MPO Trail Crossings Working Group

• Multiuse path network
• Parking
• Bikesharing / carsharing

– MPO Bike Sharing Working Group

Re c o mme nda tio ns: Sa fe ty

• Multimodal Roadway Conceptual Analysis template
• Orange County Complete Streets policy
• ADA compliance and resurfacing costs/implementation (Public

Works ADA Compliance Initiative)

• Pedestrian Plan activities, based on County priorities and

budget, as part of new County safety program

• Road Safety Audit for identified “clusters” of high-crash

locations

• Engineering and planning evaluation on County roadways with

posted speeds above 45 MPH

Re c o mme nda tio ns: L iva b ility

• Review of sidewalk width and pedestrian connectivity
• County Trees in the Right of Way Group recommendations
• Evaluation of “bicycle boulevard” prototypes

– Low speed/bike priority streets – Need data first

• Pilot study of University Boulevard corridor transition

– Future year transition – Parallel facilities (Richard Crotty Parkway)

Re c o mme nda tio ns: T e c hno lo g y

• Availability of beacons and safety features from FDOT
• Cost-benefit analysis for state contracts for technology

purchases

• FDOT’s product lists for new options
• Feasibility of open source multimodal trip planning tools
• GIS layers of available current pedestrian/bicycle counts and

turning movement counts (TMC after 2015 retiming)

• Feasibility of annual TMC program
• Feasibility of pedestrian counters in key locations

Re c o mme nda tio ns: E c o no my

• Modeling of proposed Multimodal Focus Areas
• Freight movement prioritization on Economy Corridors
• Orange County freight-related roadway projects for FDOT

Investment Element

• Feasibility of public-private partnerships and Transportation

Development Authorities (Florida Statutes)

• Cost analysis of multimodal/Complete Streets prototypes for

capital/operations/maintenance

• Design-build feasibility/training for County staff

Re c o mme nda tio ns: Ame nity

• Grant program to seek funding for trails/pedestrian/bicycle

enhancements

• GIS inventory of multiuse paths
• MetroPlan Orlando’s Bike Sharing Working Group

recommendations

• MetroPlan Orlando’s Trail Crossings Working Group

recommendations

– Prioritize County pedestrian and bicycle counts at these intersections

• Further study on on-street parking

Pro je c t I mple me nta tio n

Phase 1

• Public Works ADA Compliance Initiative

regional/state freight plans

Pro je c t I mple me nta tio n

Phase II

• Developing multimodal 2040 network
• Based on MPO 2040 LRTP projects and

projected funding

• Modeling and cost projections
• Refining transportation-land use

performance measures

Pro je c t I mple me nta tio n

Phase III

• Identify individual corridors for multimodal

transition

• Determine funding sources/options
• Orange County Complete Streets Policy
• Develop concurrency alternatives
• Guidance for next impact fee update
