| 摘要： | Euclid Avenue is a minor urban arterial and is considered the north boundary of the University of Kentucky campus. Euclid Avenue serves as a connector between the University of Kentucky and several residential areas to the east and south. The project involved resurfacing and restripping of an existing four-lane road into a three-lane roadway with bike lanes over a distance of approximately 0.80 mi. The route serves local traffic and regional commuters, it has a mixed land use of retail and housing, it carries a significant traffic volume (20,000 average daily traffic), it carries significant pedestrian and bicycle volumes, and it is used as the connector between the university and residential areas to the south. The purpose of this project was improvement of mobility needs of the area due to congestion at some intersections along the corridor. Efforts to improve mobility and safety of pedestrians were also incorporated later as a result of public involvement. Context-sensitive design (CSD) issues included the following: a public involvement meeting; the use of simulation techniques to evaluate alternative designs; use of bike lanes along the entire corridor; and use of a single corridor for all modes of transportation. |
