Incorporating Results Roadway Needs Network
The Unconstrained Roadway Needs Network as shown in Figure 6.8 represents a citywide view of improvements required to achieve optimal connectivity and performance without considering real-world constraints such as right-of-way (ROW), environmental impacts, or cost. It integrates connectivity gaps, capacity deficiencies, and operational shortcomings to illustrate where enhancements would most benefit system efficiency. The Unconstrained Roadway Needs Network was developed by synthesizing results from the Poor-Performing Roads Assessment and the Spatial Gap Analysis. First, corridors identified as failing or projected to fail LOS thresholds by 2050 were mapped to highlight capacity deficiencies. Next, connectivity gaps revealed through the spatial gap analysis, such as missing links, discontinuous arterials, and critical infill connections, were incorporated. The analysis revealed significant gaps in arterial and collector connectivity, particularly in areas experiencing rapid growth and near major employment hubs. The Unconstrained Roadway Needs Network highlights corridors and intersections where new links or upgrades would alleviate congestion and improve access to key destinations.
