heaviest pedestrian movements are likely to occur. Additional pedestrian safetycountermeasures should be considered where appropriate.Cost Estimate – Shared-use path, unit costs per mile along varying alignments:• Adjacent to roadway with utility relocation – $765,600.00• Along new alignment – $871,200.00• Existing corridor (minor grading/clearing) – $792,000.00• Along abandoned RR bed – $660,000.00Sidewalks and crossing improvements, unit costs:• 5’ Sidewalks, bituminous, both sides of street – $120.00/linear foot• 5’ Sidewalks, concrete, both sides of street – $140.00/linear foot• Marked Crossing – $1,500.00• Signalized Crossing – $70,000.00Assumes installation of signalized intersection with mast arms, signal heads, pedestriansignals, pavement markings, and appropriate pedestrian upgrades such as curb cuts andADA curb ramps.Recommendations for Implementation – A gap analysis should be undertaken toidentify and prioritize sidewalks and crossings needed to develop a complete networkwhich integrates the existing pedestrian infrastructure including sidewalks, paths, andneighborhood streets with the surrounding pedestrian trip generators including bothresidential and commercial origins and destinations. Safety countermeasures should beconsidered for locations where potential exists for vehicle/pedestrian collisions,primarily at the intersections with arterial and collector roadways and where commercialentrances or lack of access management results in frequent conflict points. Accessmanagement should be considered at these locations, and improvements should alsoseek to improve access to transit stops when appropriate.Project 5.3.6: Identify a “Shore Route” South of Route 28 from Woods Holein Falmouth to Stage Harbor in ChathamProject Description – Identification of a “Shore Route” of approximately 45 milesproviding bicycle access and connectivity across a region comprised of eight localitieswould link the many destinations and villages of this heavily developed region of theCape. Proposed as an on-roadway route, it would closely follow the coastline alongNantucket Sound. Limited route options in many locations result from a fragmentedroad network that would require use of Rte 28 in many locations. In developed areaswhere Route 28 lies farther from the coast, more route permeability typically exists,allowing for more routing options, though this is intermittent throughout the corridorfrom Falmouth to Chatham.Chapter 5: Bike & Pedestrian Cape Cod Regional Transportation Plan | August 2011Page 420
