This project was created in support of PENNDOT's effort to establish model access management ordinances for use by municipalities statewide. Two corridors were selected as case studies to help PENNDOT illustrate the possible benefits of proactive access management implementation. This corridor report highlights US1 / City Avenue between 54th Street and the I-76 interchange ramps (the second case study focuses on PA 309 County Line Road). The work was preformed with the help of member governments, regional transportation providers, and PENNDOT. The project began with the documentation of existing conditions along the City Avenue corridor. Access management related problem areas and specific issues were identified and studied in further detail. Recommendations to improve the congestion and safety concerns along the corridor were based on PENNDOT's statewide model access management ordinances. A theoretical conceptual plan was prepared as a result of these recommendations and a map of these suggestions is included in this report. Additionally, this conceptual plan acted as a base for the interactive exercise that PENNDOT included in their access management model ordinance statewide training sessions.Geographic Area Covered: West Philadelphia and the immediate suburb of Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
Key Words: Access Mangement, congestion management, safety, accident mitigation, corridor planning, model ordinance, growth management
