Title: Level of Service F for Grade A Streets
Track: Prosper
Format: 90 minute panel
Abstract: Relying solely on Level of Service criteria for street design, which evaluates vehicle congestion, leads to poor outcomes on many of our roadways. LOS F, far from a failure, creates opportunities to reallocate roadway space for more livable street designs. In this session, learn about projects in Cambridge and San Francisco that overcame opposition and generated community support in prioritizing better bicycling and walking over vehicle capacity during the peak hour of travel.

This document proposes a transit-oriented development plan around a new multi-modal transit center in Springfield, Illinois. The plan focuses on redeveloping eight city blocks within a quarter mile of the proposed transit center. It envisions three main areas: a multi-modal center with bus and rail terminals, mixed-use development, and new housing. The design concepts aim to create an attractive, walkable environment near transit with a mix of uses following the Richardson Romanesque architectural style of Union Station.
This document discusses best practices in transit oriented development through six case studies: The Bridges in Calgary, Alberta; Fruitvale Village in Oakland, California; Mission Meridian Village in South Pasadena, California; and Clarendon Metro Station in Arlington, Virginia. It outlines key elements of the projects, which commonly include mixed-use and higher density development concentrated near transit stations, with densities decreasing farther out. Design guidelines aim to make the areas pedestrian-friendly while blending with surrounding neighborhoods. Common urban design themes are also outlined.
The document summarizes a public meeting regarding a pilot study for King Street in Toronto. It outlines 7 starting points for improving transit service and the public realm on King Street, which experiences overcapacity transit. It then discusses 5 potential block options - separated lanes, alternating local access loops, and a transit promenade. The document proposes evaluating the pilot based on metrics like transit, walking, cycling, traffic, public space and economic impacts. It identifies neighborhoods from Dufferin to the Don River as potential pilot areas based on transit performance, street connectivity and ridership. The public meeting included breakout groups to discuss evaluating success, block options and potential pilot neighborhood contexts.

This presentation was delivered by Peter Jones from University College London on 2nd October 2015 and highlighted the importance of considering Link and Place when improving street design.
The document summarizes a proposed pilot project to improve transit on King Street in Toronto. It notes that King Street currently carries 65,000 transit riders daily but streetcar service is slow and unreliable. The pilot would designate King Street for transit priority between Bathurst and Jarvis streets by restricting general traffic to local access only while still allowing deliveries and pickups. Evaluation of the pilot would monitor impacts to transit speed and reliability, traffic volumes, safety, public spaces, local businesses and parking. Public meetings were held to gather input on the pilot before seeking approvals to launch the implementation and monitoring phase.

The New Jersey Department of Transportation instituted a “Complete Streets” policy in 2009, joining a handful of other states that have adopted policies to plan, design and build state roads that are accessible to all users, not just cars. More than a dozen New Jersey local governments have followed suit, implementing policies that apply to local roads and streets. The city of Hoboken has been an early leader, becoming one of the first municipalities on the East Coast with a public bike repair facility and has doubled the number of bike racks near transit and striped its first “buffered” bike lane. Jersey City also has a Complete Streets policy and the city’s Route 440 boulevard project may serve as a valuable case study in renovating state highway corridors. Complete Streets policies have multiple benefits and have recently been identified as an obesity prevention tool by Shaping New Jersey and the New Jersey Partnership for Healthy Kids.
East Open House - East At-Grade (Pharmacy - Ionview Stops) to Kennedy Station...Crosstown TO
Metrolinx was created in 2006 to improve transportation coordination across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Metrolinx has invested over $30 billion in new transit infrastructure projects according to its Regional Transportation Plan, including new light rail, bus rapid transit, and GO Transit expansion projects. One such project is the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, which will include 25 underground and surface stations along a 19km route, connecting to other transit lines and improving transportation across the busy Eglinton corridor.
This document discusses plans to improve the Capital Metro Rail system and develop a new multimodal transportation hub in downtown Austin. It outlines challenges like accommodating growth and facilitating transportation between popular areas. Early concepts for the hub considered how to meet operational needs while enhancing user experience, traffic flow, and connections to surrounding neighborhoods. Stakeholder feedback emphasized creating a gateway for downtown that improves pedestrian access and provides public amenities while maintaining existing transit and event functions. Next steps include further developing concepts, obtaining funding, and conducting environmental reviews and public outreach.
Metrolinx was created in 2006 by the Province of Ontario to serve as the regional transportation agency for the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). The Eglinton Crosstown Light Rail Transit project is a key part of Metrolinx's plan to build a regional rapid transit network across the GTHA to address traffic congestion. The 25-kilometer Eglinton Crosstown will include 10 kilometers of twin bore tunnels, 21 underground and surface stations, and 76 light rail vehicles to be operated by the TTC. Construction is being carried out through an alternative financing and procurement contract awarded to Crosslinx Transit Solutions, and is scheduled to be completed in 2021.
This document discusses transit oriented development (TOD). It explains that TOD brings compact, mixed-use development within walking distance of high capacity transit like rail or bus rapid transit. This allows people to access jobs, services, and opportunities with short commutes by walking, biking or public transit rather than personal vehicles. TOD is described as creating more sustainable, livable communities that promote public health and reduce environmental impacts. The document provides examples of Wendel's work on TOD projects and outlines their approach to responsible design focused on connectivity, density, mixed uses and other principles.

Transportation and energy in the sustainable cityFahmy At
The document discusses the challenges of increasing urban transportation needs and calls for more efficient solutions. As urban populations and transportation energy consumption doubles by 2050, there is a need for affordable, high-capacity systems. Improving transportation efficiency is critical to mitigate negative climate, air and noise pollution, congestion impacts. Planning policies should reduce private car dependency and design urban forms needing less mobility. Individual lifestyle changes to depend less on cars are also important. Limiting car use 30 years ago could have safeguarded the environment from pollution and greenhouse gases. Cities cannot solve transportation by building more roads but need greater public transit, cycling and walking. Sustainable policies should minimize transport needs, increase low-impact modes, and reduce emissions and resource demands
This document discusses refocusing a city's transportation system to be more focused on livable streets that prioritize walking, biking, and public transportation over personal vehicles. It notes the community values of walkability, sustainability, and neighborhood livability. It outlines how traditional transportation perspectives focus on vehicles, while complete and livable streets also consider other modes. Examples are given of projects in Carlsbad, California that have transformed roads to better accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation to make the streets more livable. Challenges and tradeoffs of transforming roads are discussed. Innovation is encouraged to solve community problems with a livable streets approach.

This document summarizes a presentation by John LaPlante on committing a lifetime to active transportation. Some key points from the presentation include debunking common traffic engineering myths such as the idea that slower speeds reduce mobility, and that spending on complete streets is a luxury. The presentation also discusses the costs of retrofitting urban arterials to be more pedestrian and bicycle friendly through traffic calming measures and improved pedestrian infrastructure and signals. It aims to show that these improvements can often be achieved at low cost and provide community benefits like safer streets.
Complete Streets Design Examples - GSMSummit 2014,Tom ErricoGrowSmart Maine
Why plan for growth and change, when it seems so much easier to simply react?
When there is a distinct and shared vision for your community - when residents, businesses and local government anticipate a sustainable town with cohesive and thriving neighborhoods - you have the power to conserve your beautiful natural spaces, enhance your existing downtown or Main Street, enable rural areas to be productive and prosperous, and save money through efficient use of existing infrastructure.
This is the dollars and sense of smart growth.
Success is clearly visible in Maine, from the creation of a community-built senior housing complex and health center in Fort Fairfield to conservation easements creating Forever Farms to Rockland's revitalized downtown. Communities have options. We have the power to manage our own responses to growth and change.
After all, “Planning is a process of choosing among those many options. If we do not choose to plan, then we choose to have others plan for us.” - Richard I. Winwood
And in the end, this means that our children and their children will choose to make Maine home and our economy will provide the opportunities to do so.
