| 摘要： | U.S. Route 3 runs north-south between the shore of the east end of Lake Ontario and Interstate 81 in New York State. Route 3 is a two-lane rural highway, which passes through many old downtowns and small villages. The route is part of the Seaway Trail, a national scenic byway, and is also part of a state bicycle route. This particular project consisted of reconstruction and improvements along a 1.1-km section in the village of Port Ontario, town of Richland, Oswego County. Port Ontario has a population of only several hundred but increases in the summer with seasonal residents. The project included the replacement of two bridges over the mouth of the Salmon River, intersection improvements, accommodation of bicycles and pedestrians and general improvements in geometric standards. The location where Route 3 crosses the Salmon River in Port Ontario is approximately 1 mile upstream of Lake Ontario and is approximately 1,500 ft. The purpose of the project was to improve safety and accessibility by replacing two bridges over the mouth of the Salmon River along with intersection improvements, accommodation of pedestrians and bicyclists, and general improvements to geometric standards. Context-sensitive design factors included a wide range of issues. Business-owners were concerned most with the construction phase of the project and ensuring continued ease of traffic flow particularly during the tourist season. They were concerned that timely access to their business driveways be maintained during construction. Both business and citizen community members wanted the old bridge to stay in place until the new bridge was ready. The community also raised a traffic safety issue regarding intersection sight distance that was not known to the New York Department of Transportation at the start of the project. Landowners who were going to have land purchased were particularly concerned about how much land they would lose and their compensation. The main environmental concerns were raised by the agencies involved, not the public, and many related to the fish habitat. |
