This book was released on 2016 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Major at-grade regional thoroughfares in Virginia are a source of conflict for planners because of the corridors' dual, often competing, roles. For many Virginians, these routes are critical highways for cross-state travel, commuting, and movement of freight, with an emphasis on mobility and expectations of high travel speeds and limited stopping. For local residents in both long-established and developing communities, these corridors sometimes function as the community's "main street," providing access to homes and businesses, often at the cost of regional mobility. The purpose of this study was to identify solutions to this main street / highway conflict through a review of relevant regulations, identification of planning solutions that could be implemented by localities and the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT), and the highlighting of resources that could help with the process of identifying and implementing solutions. In addition, case studies were selected to serve as examples of how the conflict between local access and through mobility has been managed by public agencies in various contexts. The main street / highway conflict is fundamentally an issue of transportation and land use coordination. No individual solution can fully address the conflict. Because VDOT has limited influence over land use and development along state highways, a practice of strong interagency coordination, cooperation, and public participation is necessary. As VDOT develops roadway projects, it must respond to concerns of local stakeholders, in part by demonstrating how engineering solutions can lead to locally desired outcomes. The study recommends that VDOT consider the previously mentioned issues in refining an existing planning process for arterial highways that may reflect the main street / highway conflict. It also recommends that VDOT ensure that its planners working on major regional thoroughfares are familiar with (1) relevant design manuals, treatments, and concepts, such as context-sensitive urban thoroughfare design and unconventional intersection designs; and (2) methods to facilitate interagency coordination and public participation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transportation, Land Use, and Environmental Planning examines the practices and policies linking transportation, land use and environmental planning needed to achieve a healthy environment, thriving economy, and more equitable and inclusive society. It assesses best practices for improving the performance of city and regional transportation systems, looking at such issues as public transit and non-motorized travel investments, mixed use and higher density urban development, radically transformed vehicles, and transportation systems. The book lays out the growing need for greater integration of transportation, land use, and environmental planning, looking closely at changing demographic needs, public health concerns, housing affordability, equity, and livability. In addition, strategies for achieving these desired outcomes are presented, including urban design and land use planning, regional and corridor-level transit plans, bike and pedestrian improvements, demand management strategies, and emerging technologies and services. The final part of the book examines implementation challenges, considering lessons from the US and around the globe at both local and regional levels. - Introduces never-before-published research - Offers best practices for transit, cycling, urban design and housing provision - Assesses emerging developments, such as smart cities, new vehicle technologies, automated highways and transportation sharing - Examines the institutional and political dimensions of sustainability planning at the urban and regional levels - Utilizes case studies from around the world that show alternative ways forward
