Centerville 2040 Chapter 6: Transportation <br /> 14) between Progress Road and City Hall from low density residential to mixed <br /> use development will capitalize on the anticipated increase in average daily <br /> traffic as well as move single family residential away from a highly trafficked <br /> roadway. <br /> The City has not conducted any recent corridor studies regarding roadway <br /> improvements. <br /> Need to Expand Facilities <br /> The City will experience growth in two major areas. The first is in the small <br /> sections of undeveloped land within the City. These development areas do not <br /> represent large enough amounts of potential traffic to tax the local and <br /> regional transportation systems. The City also plans to redevelop its <br /> downtown area. This redevelopment proposal was large enough to trigger an <br /> Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW). The conclusion of the EAW, with <br /> regard to transportation issues, was that the local and regional roadway <br /> system could handle the increased densities in the downtown area with minor <br /> modifications in the immediate area, such as the addition of turn lanes, etc. It <br /> also concluded that the redevelopment was not the primary cause of the need <br /> for these improvements, but rather that it was regional growth. <br /> Growth projections are in line with those shown in the System Statement. <br /> Potential Safet Isy sues <br /> The City does not anticipate any specific safety issues within its jurisdictional <br /> roadway system as a result of growth. Policies regarding access management, <br /> geometric design and signage enforced by the City on its existing and <br /> planned roadways help maintain a safe local transportation system. Where <br /> applicable access management guidelines have been incorporated into the <br /> City's subdivision and zoning ordinances. <br /> A number of sidewalk and trail projects are in the planning or construction <br /> phase in an effort to increase pedestrian safety. A curb and trail along the <br /> east side of Mill Road will allow separation of pedestrians from this higher <br /> volume 'local roadway. Improvements in the Downtown area are slated to <br /> meet the same goal. <br /> Chapter 6 1 Page 9 <br /> 41 <br />
