Recommended Improvements Recommended improvements are identified for the study area based on the infrastructure assessments documented in this report. The assessment measures are used to identify locations for improvements and prioritize improvements based on an overlay of all measures to identify the highest areas of need. The recommended improvements are prioritized based on the following assessment measure categories to prioritize locations and prioritize improvements. A map of all projects is shown in Figure 23 and the recommended improvement matrix is shown in Appendix A . Assessment Measures • Congestion and Mobility measures identify locations that should be prioritized based on high travel time index or volume to capacity ratio, fair to serious pavement condition, incomplete or missing user facilities based on the roadway’s context classification, and locations on truck routes or HART routes. • Safety measures identify locations that should be prioritized based on correctable crash patterns or severe crashes including fatal and injury crashes, and roadways with a posted speed greater than the context classification target speed. • Utility measures identify locations where water or sewer mains should be replaced due to its useful life or locations where a new water or sewer connection would promote redevelopment. • Flood Exposure measures identify locations where there is vulnerability to flooding due to storm events or sea level rise. • Land Use measures identify locations that are or connect into Competitive Sites, Redevelopment Sites, or community amenities including schools, fire stations, and hospitals. Improvement Benefit Improvement Benefit factors are indicated for each recommended improvement based on the project’s ability to improve Mobility, Safety, Resiliency, or Site Redevelopment. • Mobility: project improves conditions for pedestrians, cyclists, passenger cars, or trucks on roadway facilities • Safety: project improves conditions for vulnerable users accessing community amenities including schools or using roadway facilities • Resiliency: project improves potential flooding conditions at community amenities, utility connections, or roadways • Site Redevelopment: project improves redevelopment opportunities at Competitive Sites or Redevelopment Sites identified by the county, or provides opportunity for new development due to new infrastructure connections and help achieve Target Redevelopment goals
