Master Transportation Plan Task 4: Gap Analysis and Needs Network
essential space for recreation and sustainability strategies for the conservation of natural lands, the spaces can inhibit further built environment and infrastructure deployment. As such, the TSI was designed to avoid identifying environmental areas as opportunities for growth. With this understanding, parks, open space priorities, bodies of water, and city flood risk areas have been identified and are combined as a criterion where a lower score denotes more prevalence of environmental constraints and a higher score indicates a district with fewer constraints. The results from the TSI steps above were synthesized into scores ranging from one through five per analysis districts. The evaluation score for each of the six steps by district are then weighted and summed to produce a total district transportation supportive score, with a maximum of 30 points for the analysis district. The weighting options were reviewed at different thresholds but ultimately determined by stakeholder and city input. To gather the input an interactive tool was developed to provide a “scoring slider” for each metric to better align with associated with the respective priorities of the stakeholders and city. As a TSI, the existing and projected conditions of transportation network were weighed at 50 percent, and all remaining steps were weighed at 10 percent, giving a total of 100 percent. 2.3 Outputs The TSI output ( Figure 2 ) highlights a concentration of support in the city core within the I-820 and I-20 belts and areas adjacent to known high-capacity corridors in the city. The east corner of the city shows increased prospectus for transportation due to a union of multiple cities and access to the Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW).
