4-14 VISALIA GENERAL PLAN UPDATE T-P-19 Pursue Transportation System Management (TSM) for the mitigation of traffic and parking congestion. Public transit, traffic management, ride sharing, and parking management can be used to implement TSM strategies. T-P-20 Work with major employers and the Tulare County Association of Governments (TCAG) to reduce total vehicle miles traveled and the total number of daily and peak hour vehicle trips and provide better utilization of the transportation system through development and implementation of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies that are tailored to the needs of geographic areas within the city and the time period of traffic congestion. These may include the implementation staggered work hours, utilization of telecommunications, increased use of ridesharing in the public and private sectors, and provision for bicyclists. Coordination with the College of the Sequoias T-P-21 Coordinate with the College of the Sequoias to develop a transportation plan that ensures that the College provides adequate parking areas for students and faculty; improves circulation issues on and adjacent to campus; integrates transit; and incorporates Transportation Demand Management (TDM) strategies such as incentives for ridesharing and facilities for bicyclists. The plan should minimize negative impacts on surrounding residential areas and on the transportation system. 4.4 PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS To achieve a balance between existing and future land uses and the carrying capacity of transportation corridors, improvements to the roadway network will be needed. The future Circulation Diagram is illustrated in Figure 4-1. Major street improvements consistent with the Circulation Diagram planned for Visalia are listed in Table 4-5. These improvements include widening portions of State Route 198 and other major arterials, new bridge crossings, interchange improvements and grade separations. Several new arterial roads will need to be constructed as well as numerous collector and residential streets in the targeted growth areas. The proposed roads are conceptual, subject to further engineering and environmental review. Interchange improvements may be done in coordination with Caltrans and other jurisdictions. Table 4-5 shows planned improvements where engineering details are known; additional improvements, shown on Figure 4-1, will also be needed to accommodate future traffic and ensure a complete street system correlated with future land use. Details on these planned improvements will be defined as the City moves forward with long-range capital improvement programming.
