Automobile Performance. The bottom table (8C) indicates that the Southern Wake Freeway does make an important difference on several roadways. However, the most recent travel demand model does not indicate the degree of issues associated with not building the propose freeway, which would work as a bypass around the Town. Some roadways are still performing at poor (LOS “F”) levels even with the Southern Wake Freeway being constructed (Garner Road, Jones Sausage Road, Benson Road, Old Stage Road and US 401). Bicycle and Pedestrian Performance. The recommendations for bicycle and pedestrian system performance should be compared against either Table 8B or 8C, since there is not much difference between them (the bicycle LOS score does vary in on instance because of some traffic reductions with the Southern Wake Freeway in place). Some roadways, such as Old Stage Road, clearly benefit from the recommendations, jumping two categories of level‐of‐service. Others stay in fairly poor condition due to the absence of bicycle facilities. One factor that hurts the pedestrian ratings almost universally for these 10 streets is the lack of a greater than three‐foot separation from the roadway, principally due to right‐of‐way and cost constraints. Public Transportation Performance. The public transportation performance, which hinges on the frequency of bus services in this example, is nearly always poor in the current scenario (Table 8A). Some positive movement does occur in the future scenario, but only in a few instances. Even with the recommendations in place, bus frequency is still typically only 2‐4 vehicles per hour in one direction, not enough to shift the LOS very far from the current scenario. Figure 12 on the next page identifies the recommendations for improvements for each street in the Town, as well as their hierarchy (purpose) in the transportation system. Intersection improvements are also indicated as variously colored or styled dots on this figure. The Southern Wake Freeway (now termed the “Southeast Extension” of I‐ 540 by the NC Turnpike Authority) has started forward movement through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) planning process. The Town of Garner should request quarterly small group meetings with the project consultant and NEPA manager of NCTA/NCDOT to ensure that this project is designed in accordance with the goals of Garner. This recommendation is critical: no other single project stands to impact the traffic and travel patterns of automobile traffic to the degree of this proposed project.
