2.0 SR 6 Corridor Overview In the SR 6 corridor, population is projected to increase by 46 percent, from approximately 89,300 in 2005 to 130,000 by 2030. The number of households is anticipated to grow by 52 percent to 51,500, while employment is forecasted to grow by 45 percent to 144,600 jobs. This growth will have significant impacts on transportation and community infrastructure along the corridor. Areas that will need special consideration include but are not limited to the following areas: housing, retail space, office space, roadway, transit, and bicycle and pedestrian facilities. Furthermore, future development should be created in accord with these needs, such as developing employment centers that have access to transit, or conversely, bringing transit to employment centers. Essential to the planning process and SR 6 specifically is a combined effort between the various municipalities and governing bodies that reside along the lengthy study area. Working in concert with local and regional bodies will increase the efficacy of the recommended projects. 2.1 Goals and Objectives Development of goals is an important element of a transportation planning study, as they can ensure that appropriate actions are taken within the corridor to meet long range transportation needs for the community, jurisdictions, and region. The goals serve as the building blocks for crafting various alternative scenarios as well as establish the study’s policy framework. The SR 6 Corridor Study goals are as follows: • Increase safety. • Maintain and preserve corridor. • Protect and improve the environment, contribute to the economic vitality and the quality of life. • Improve accessibility for people and goods. • Maintain and improve mobility and system performance. • Coordinate corridor transportation improvements with land use decisions ‐ planning, zoning, and site and development approvals. • Work toward a sustainable multimodal transportation facility that meets the needs of all users. 2.2 Market and Development Trends The fast‐paced growth which has occurred across the SR 6 study area is expected to continue. The recent and projected population and household growth rates for the corridor are approximately three‐times the national average and just above the Atlanta Final Report 2‐1 January 2008
