Mr. Franchett described the identified options and elaborated on the preferred option. |
|
Alternative scenarios not included in the proposed Transportation Plan Update |
|
included Alternative Scenario No. 1 involving major arterial status for Tienken |
|
between Adams and Rochester; Walton, Hamlin from the western city limits to |
|
Rochester, Adams, Crooks from South Blvd. to Hamlin, Livernois, Rochester, and |
|
Dequindre; Alternative Scenario No. 2 with major arterial status assigned to |
|
Tienken/Washington, Walton, Avon, Hamlin between the western city limits and |
|
Rochester Road, Adams, Crooks from South Blvd. to Hamlin, Livernois, Rochester, |
|
and Dequindre; Alternative Scenario No. 3 with major arterial status designated for |
|
Dutton, Walton, Avon, Hamlin from the western city limits to Rochester, Adams, |
|
Crooks from South Blvd. to Hamlin, Livernois, Rochester, and Dequindre. The |
|
preferred scenario selected by the Planning Commission involves major arterial status |
|
for Tienken, Walton, Avon between Livernois and Dequindre, Hamlin between the |
|
western city limits and Rochester Road, Adams, Crooks from South Blvd. to Hamlin, |
|
Livernois from Hamlin to Tienken, Rochester, and Dequindre. The preferred scenario |
|
emerged from all previous meetings and accepts a certain level of congestion as |
|
opposed to widening all roads. |
|
A capacity deficiency analysis has been done at the Planning Commission's request |
|
which shows where congestion still would exist under the implementation of the |
|
Preferred Alternative Scenario. A Level of Service "F" would exist on Rochester |
|
Road from South Blvd. to Orion Rd.; Adams Road from Tienken to Dutton; a short |
|
stretch of Walton just before the Rochester city limits; and a stretch of Tienken east of |
|
Rochester to Washington. A Level of Service "E" would show up on Livernois from |
|
South Blvd. to Hamlin and from Avon to Walton; John R between Auburn and |
|
Hamlin; Walton between Squirrel and Adams and from Old Perch to Livernois. |
|
Mr. Dearing translated the Preferred Alternative Scenario into the number of lanes |
|
proposed for each road. Dutton/Mead would remain at 2 lanes as collector roads; |
|
Tienken west of Rochester 4 lanes and 2 lanes east of Rochester; the same for |
|
Washington and Runyon; Walton Blvd. west of Adams 4 lanes and from Adams to |
|
Livernois 5 lanes and 4 lanes into the City of Rochester; Parkdale in the City of |
|
Rochester at 2 lanes; Avon between Adams and Livernois to stay at 2 lanes and 4 |
|
lanes to Dequindre; Hamlin Road from Auburn Hills to Rochester Road at 4 lanes |
|
with the balance at 3 lanes; Auburn Road 2 lanes; South Blvd. 2 lanes. Adams Road |
