Technology and Access Management Recommendations Access Management
A1. Reduce number of driveways on East Berry Street from IH-35W to Mississippi Avenue. A2. Reduce number of driveways on East Berry Street from Old Mansfield Road to Cobb Park Road. A3. Reduce number of driveways on East Berry Street from Miller Avenue to Edgewood Terrace.
Each of the access management recommendations above are presented in the Concepts Chapter of this study. It is recommended that multiple driveways are closed at each of these locations to increase safety, mobility, and allow fewer roadway conflicts. An overabundance of driveways increases the rate of car crashes. Technology A4. Install fiber optics along East Berry Street to provide a significantly higher bandwidth capacity than traditional cables. Fiber optics can handle large volumes of data generated by transportation systems, such as traffic signal timing, sensors, and other control systems. Fiber optics along the corridor would also increase internet speed, reliability, and quality for homes and businesses.
A5. Install cooling pavement along East Berry Street. Cooling pavements include a range of established and emerging technologies used to decrease pavement heat making it more comfortable for people to walk, bike, roll, and use public transit along the corridor. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, cooling pavement refers to materials that reflect more solar energy, enhance water evaporation, or have been otherwise modified to remain cooler than conventional pavements.
