Book Charlottesville to Monticello   Beyond

Book excerpt: Thomas Jefferson's Monticello is an important source of Charlottesville's history, cultural identity and economic vitality. In combination with the Academical Village at the University of Virginia, it is a World Heritage Site and a treasured resource, unusual for a city of this size. Monticello is close to the city, once had multiple connections, and is visible from some locations, yet it is difficult to get there without a car. This discontinuity poses problems of unrealized opportunity and equity for Monticello, the city, and the region. In 2000, the Thomas Jefferson Foundation, which owns and operates Monticello, covered half the distance to town by opening the SaundersMonticello Trail. This winding, two-mile pathway is accessible under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards and its beauty attracts visitors from a diversity of backgrounds. Combined with the adjoining parkland, it is a wildly successful landscape and a destination in its own right. Yet a challenging half-mile gap remains between the gateway trail and the population center. The remaining gap, the subject of this study, is small but complicated. The area is split between Charlottesville and Albemarle County's municipal jurisdictions, with Interstate 64 and a high-speed divided multi-lane roadway (VA-20) in the domain of the Virginia Department of Transportation. The highway interchange itself is a formidable physical and psychological barrier--there are no sidewalks or bicycle infrastructure. There are multiple institutional landowners as well, most of whom would like to bridge the gap in bicycle and pedestrian access. As part of its decennial regional multimodal review, the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC) sponsored this research to support local governments and stakeholders working to complete this connection. Stakeholders requested five areas of investigation: 1. Learn who uses the Saunders-Monticello Trail, how they use it, why they use it, and if there is demand for a connection to Charlottesville. 2. Examine four alternate corridors identified in the localities' Comprehensive Plans and provide a basis for comparison. 3. Study examples of other trail projects, identify lessons learned, and possible resources. 4. Explore implications for regional connectivity, economic and social impact, and educational programming. 5. Recommend a path forward. The research team reviewed applicable planning and transportation documents, subject-area literature, and case studies. We met regularly with stakeholders, technical experts, and community groups. We conducted a highly successful survey, with in-person and email components, which yielded 1,010 responses in 18 days. We looked at trail usership data from counting devices and performed geospatial analyses of the identified corridors.

Download or read book Albemarle County City of Charlottesville Transportation Planning Compact Disc written by John S. Miller and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describes transportation planning data, available in numerous files and formats stored on the accompanying compact disc, that have been compiled from planning studies for the Charlottesville/Albemarle area done in 1967, 1979, and 1990. These data were used by the authors for Using Historical Data to Measure Transportation Infrastructure Constraints on Land Use (VTRC 98-R32) and a dissertation entitled Reversing the Direction of the Transportation Planning Process: Measuring Transportation Infrastructure Constraints on Land Use With Historical Data by Dr. Miller. Data development for this project became a labor-intensive task. For that reason, and because subsequent research using the same data sets is to be encouraged, the data used for the project are described in this report.

It's good for your health, spares the environment a trip's worth of auto emissions, and is economical for both public and personal budgets.
