Transportation Assessment The 56th Street Redevelopment Area is bounded by state owned principal arterial Hillsborough Avenue to the south, County owned collector roadways Orient Road and Sligh Avenue on the east and north, and 50th Street on the west. Arterial roadways 56th Street and Harney Road bisect the study area and provide access to employment areas for vehicles and trucks but present barriers for vulnerable users like pedestrians and cyclists. Hanna Avenue is also a collector roadway and a designated truck route between 56th Street and Harney Road. The roadways within the study area have a Suburban Residential, Commercial or Town context classification which is envisioned to include user facilities for higher non- vehicle activity. The roadway classifications and characteristics are described further in the following Transportation Assessment. Congestion Management Roadway Level of Service Peak volume to capacity (v/c) data from the 2019 Level of Service (LOS) Report was reviewed as the most recently available data due to COVID-19 impacts to traffic conditions. Capacity is based on the adopted LOS for each roadway. A v/c ratio of 1.00 or greater indicates that the volume exceeds the capacity of the road and indicates areas with a high amount of peak congestion. The roadway v/c ratios and average daily traffic are shown in Table 5 and Figure 6 . Table 5.
