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
One of the concerns of the steering committee was the impact of the traffic signal on the view
of the courthouse. A simulation (Figure 37), however, demonstrates that the signal poles, arms and
heads will have a minimal impact on the view of the courthouse. The arms, poles and heads will
need to be dark green or black so they will not be more prominent than the courthouse.

Park Street/Main Street Intersection
The only feasible alternative for the Park Street/Main Street Intersection is to prohibit left hand
turns during the 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. hours. This option would improve the level of service for the
intersection to a D for the right hand turns southbound to Main Street.
A sign posting the restrictions will need to be placed on the east side of Main Street. If for some
reason the option does not work the sign can simply be removed.
