Transportation Trends <strong>and</strong> Data<br />
One <strong>of</strong> the primary purposes <strong>of</strong> this study is to develop solutions to improve vehicular <strong>and</strong><br />
pedestrian traffic circulation <strong>and</strong> safety within the corridor. Therefore, data on traffic volumes,<br />
accidents, pedestrian counts, turning movements <strong>and</strong> intersection levels <strong>of</strong> service were reviewed.<br />
Another goal is to review <strong>and</strong> assess parking conditions in the corridor. A parking dem<strong>and</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
supply analysis was specifically performed for the Main Street section <strong>of</strong> the corridor.<br />
Functional Classifications <strong>of</strong> <strong>Study</strong> Area Roadways<br />
Roadways are classified by their function based on the service they provide within the road<br />
network <strong>and</strong> their character. The hierarchy <strong>of</strong> classification ranges from Interstate highways to<br />
principal arterial, minor arterial, collector <strong>and</strong> local roads. The hierarchy is based on mobility, access<br />
<strong>and</strong> traffic volume. Interstate highways, for instance, provide great mobility but very limited access<br />
to sites. On the other h<strong>and</strong>, local roads provide excellent access but vehicular mobility is limited.<br />
