Transportation Assessment The North Airport Redevelopment Area is generally bounded by state owned principal arterial roadways including Veterans Expressway to the west and Hillsborough Avenue to the south, County owned major arterial Linebaugh Avenue, and a CSX rail line to the east. Access into the study area is provided by major arterials including Waters Avenue, Sligh Avenue, and Anderson Road. These roadways provide access to employment areas for vehicles including trucks, but present barriers for vulnerable users like pedestrians and cyclists. Benjamin Road is defined as a collector roadway and is also a designated truck route. The majority of the roadways within the study area have Suburban Commercial 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. Roadway V/C Ratios Roadway Limits Peak V/C AADT
