The Jericho Transportation Study
The Jericho Transportation Study investigates and assesses the existing
transportation system, evaluates future conditions, and presents a list of
recommendations for improvements. The study will be used by the Jericho Planning
Commission as it updates the Municipal Plan, the Development Review Board to assist
with project review, and the Selectboard as it updates the Capital Plan and considers
impact fees.
This study compiles past transportation plans and studies, describes the characteristics
of the transportation system, and evaluates performance under existing conditions.
Transportation system characteristics such as roadway travel lane and shoulder widths,
intersection lane geometries, speed limits, and provisions for pedestrians and bicyclists
have been inventoried to document existing conditions. The transportation network has
been analyzed for intersection performance, capacity analysis, safety, and suitability
for pedestrians and bicyclists.
Future conditions and issues are identified and summarized. Roadway segments and
intersections were evaluated based on future year 2015 conditions. The study
recommendations include a matrix describing improvements, alterations, and suggestions
that will improve and enhance the Jericho Transportation System.
