Client: Pinal County Lima & Associates
worked with Pinal County and a Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) to prepare
a County Regionally Significant Routes for Safety and Mobility (RSRSM)
Plan to ensure mobility and safety in cooperation with federal, state,
and tribal governments, and county, local, and private stakeholders. A
Technical Memorandum documented background information including policies,
legal issues, and classifications standards. Lima also worked with the
County and local jurisdictions to develop an early alert system, focusing
on high priority corridors in order to preserve corridors. Lima developed
future traffic forecasts for the routes using the TransCAD model the firm
developed for the 2005 Pinal County Small Area Transportation Study. In
addition, Lima defined RSRSM characteristics and classification standards
and began to evaluate locations of RSRs and identify constraints. An implementation
process was developed and a policy document, access management manual,
and access management tool kit were produced. Stakeholder workshops were
held to gather input policies, legal issues, classifications standards,
and implementation process. Presentations were made to the Board of Supervisors
and public meetings were held. A draft final report was prepared. Additionally,
Lima & Associates enhanced Pinal County’s existing travel demand model
by providing a fully functional model developed in the TransCAD environment
that is capable of producing traffic volumes for base year 2006 and horizon
year 2030.

The Consultant Team, together with key personnel from the City of Flagstaff,
Coconino County, ADOT Central Office, and ADOT's Flagstaff Engineering
district developed a study work plan and mission statement. An extensive
public participation process was conducted including focus groups, a Future
Search Conference, Open Houses, a Planning Charette, and individual meetings
with area stakeholders. Through the public participation process,
the Consultant Team identified major transportation issues and vision
for Flagstaff area corridors and developed regional mobility and access
control strategies. The Consultant Team then analyzed alternatives,
recommended facility concepts, and developed implementation guidelines. |
