Purpose of Arterial Management PlanPilot StudyPurpose:To ensure the safety and preserve the capacity of theCommonwealth’s arterial highway network without wide scaleroad widenings while accommodating economic development.Project VisionDevelop a joint state and local strategy to guide development andtransportation decisions along Route 3 between Gordon Road andthe Orange County line.Project Goals– Develop a streamlined and repeatable Arterial ManagementPlan (AMP) process– Develop an AMP methodologyRoute 3 Arterial Management Plan12
Arterial Management Plan BenefitsLocal Governments (Towns, Cities, and Counties): Safer arterial street system Allow localities to maximize densities allowed in Comprehensive/Master Plans Maintain corridors’ economic development potential by having a cohesive plan Aid in the land development process by providing local government/VDOTexpectations before a developer’s plans are created Assist with projects being programmed since they are identified in an approved plan Save dollars by reducing the need to retrofit improvements in the futureVDOT Result in a safer arterial street system Preserve corridor capacity and efficiency Maintain Commonwealth’s mobility and thus economic competitiveness Lower long-term infrastructure capital and maintenance costsRoute 3 Arterial Management Plan13
Arterial Management Plan BenefitsLand Owners Blueprint for developers, adherence to plan quicker approval from VDOT/LocalGovernment Maintain size of market area (based on travel time to businesses) Better allow land owners to maximize densities allowed in Comprehensive/MasterPlans Maintain a corridors’ economic development potential by having a cohesive planRegional and Local Travelers Safer trips Quicker trips Easy access to destinationsRoute 3 Arterial Management Plan14
