FALL ’18
GREENHILL ROAD CORRIDOR TRAFFIC STUDY A traffic study of Greenhill Road from Cedar Heights Drive to Hudson Road kicked off in June. The objectives are to identify existing and future roadway capacity, as well as safety needs of the corridor. This information will be used for planning and budgeting future projects. The city’s Capital Improvement Plan includes several upcoming projects that will utilize information from the study: South Main/Greenhill Road and Cedar Heights/Greenhill Road intersections. The traffic study includes a review of a variety of information such as existing conditions, vehicle crashes, access management, turn lanes, number of lanes, intersection controls, future development, and the posted speed limit. Three public meetings are included as part of the study. The first one was in June, to introduce the project and hear comments about the corridor and specific intersections. The second meeting was in August, reviewing data collected on traffic volumes, crash history, and forecasted traffic to year 2045. Alternatives for the roadway, such as remaining four-lanes or widening to five lanes, were available for discussion in August. Intersection alternatives were also shown including widening for turn lanes, signal improvements, and roundabout options. The third public meeting in late September will discuss recommendations of the study. Then a presentation will be made to the City Council. The study will conclude by the end of 2018.
