Village of Geneseo Circulation, Accessibility, and Parking Study

Alternatives to Improve Circulation, Parking, Safety and Aesthetics
Route 39 / North Street / Court Street Corridor
Village of Geneseo

Existing Conditions, Plans and Public Input
Prior to developing alternatives and recommendations for improvements to circulation, parking,
safety and aesthetics in the corridor a review of existing conditions, plans and public input is
necessary. Existing conditions includes data on demographics, area growth patterns, traffic
volumes, accidents, turning movements and intersection levels of service.
While the data on existing conditions provides useful statistical information, plans such as the
Town and Village Comprehensive Plans and the Village Pedestrian Plan offer policy directions for
the Village. The plans are important because they provide a framework for decision‐making within
the corridor.
Another important source of information for decision‐making is public opinion toward
conditions within corridor. A summary of a community workshop held and public survey conducted
as part of the study provides both factual and anecdotal information from residents, employees and
other stakeholders that use the corridor.
Demographics and Growth Patterns
The population of the Village of Geneseo and the surrounding Geneseo Area (Figure 1) has been
growing gradually during the recent past and is expected to continue to grow over the next fifteen
years.
