Village of Geneseo Alternatives to Improve Circulation, Parking, Safety and Aesthetics Route 39 / North Street / Court Street Corridor Figure 46. Example of a detectable warning system on a sidewalk ramp (Source: Armor Tile Tactile Systems) Follow on Recommendations Two follow on activities that are recommended to better understand and implement some of the recommendations in the report are: 1. Surveying a. The intersection of Court/North/Main Streets should be surveyed prior to any physical improvements. A plan level survey would aid in the proper placement of bump outs, crosswalks, lighting and even the signal poles to maximize visibility at the intersection. A topographical survey would also be beneficial to determine if any minor adjustments could be made to Court Street to reduce the slope of the street at the intersection. b. North Street will need a full construction and topographic survey prior to any reconstruction. 2. Origin Destination Study for Court Street: An origin destination study employs personal interviews with a sample number of drivers to determine where they are going, where they came from and whey they are using certain routes to estimate the overall population’s driving habits. Such studies are important to determine travel patterns and the potential need for alternate routes. Between 2005 and 2008 traffic counts along Court Street have increased by 42 percent. It appears that drivers are using Court Street as an alternate to the 20A bypass but that cannot be affirmatively determined without an origin destination study. 74 Strategies and Recommendations
Alternatives to Improve Circulation, Parking, Safety and Aesthetics Route 39 / North Street / Court Street Corridor Village of Geneseo 5 Implementation Plan The Implementation Plan table on the following page is designed to assist the Village of Geneseo with the execution of the programs and projects recommended in the plan. It is advisory rather than prescriptive and it is flexible based on the preferences of the Village. However, the strategy of the table is to maintain momentum of the program to improve circulation, parking, safety and aesthetics along the Route 39/ North Street / Court Street Corridor over time. Projects that cost little or no money (with the exception of staff time) are suggested to be started within the first two years of the completion of the plan. This will maintain the plan’s momentum while the Village is working on the larger projects that will require grant funding and coordination with the Village’s Capital Improvement Plan. Generally, the recommended projects are aligned and tailored to existing grant programs. Some of the larger projects may require multiple grant sources or need to be phased to make them feasible. In addition, new grant programs may be available in the future to fund the proposed projects. Cost estimates are based on current bid prices for projects awarded recently. However, construction prices are subject to change. Implementation Plan 75
