COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Q TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT CHAPTER II TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT A. INTRODUCTION The City of Edgewater is located within an urbanized portion of the Volusia County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MFO). Therefore, the City is required by the State to adopt a Transportation Element, as opposed to a Traffic Circulation Element, and to coordinate the element with the long-range transportation plan of the MFO. The purpose of the Transportation E~ement is to plan for a multi-modal transportation system that emphasizes accessibility by placing emphasis on public transportation systems; encourages the development of compact, pedestrian-oriented urban areas; promotes energy efficient development patterns; and protects air quality. An essential base for planning a transportation system is the Future La,nd Use Element. The Future Land Use Map will determine where new or improved transportation facilities may be needed. The Transportation Element will assess the condition and capacity of the existing transportation facilities, project future needs, set Levels of Service (LOS) standards for roads and determine future system improvements. Roadway level of service standards will be established to ensure that adequate facility capacity for future development is concurrendy sufficient with the issuance of development orders and development permits. These standards will be established for each roadway link consistent with the facility type, and current Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) LOS guidelines. The transportation planning process in V olusia County is a joint effort among various federal, state, regional, county and municipal agencies working together with the MFO. This agency ensures that highways, public transit, bicycle, pedestrian, and other transportation facilities are coordinated and planned consistent with planned development in the urbanized area. The MFO prepares the V olusia County Transportation Plan, a 20-year multi-modal plan for guiding transportation improvements in the County's urbanized areas. The plan is based on regional needs identified through the process of forecasting future travel demand, evaluating system alternatives, and selecting those options which best meet the mobility needs of the region. The plan recommends road, highway, rail, and transit system improvements to be implemented by 2020. The MPO also prepares a five-year Transportation Improvement Program (rIP), which implements the roadway improvements within a five-year scope and is updated annually. B. INVENTORY An efficient transportation system should provide access to various land uses through alternative transportation modes. The overview of the existing multi-modal transportation system within the City of Edgewater provides the basis for analyzing existing transportation deficiencies and needs within the City. This section will identify existing roadway and transit facilities, availability of public parking facilities, airport and rail line systems, availability of bicycle and pedestrian facilities and other ancillary services and programs. II-l CITY OF EDGEWATER~ COMPREHENSIVE PLA~ o TRAI\lSPORT A TION ELEMENT 1. Road System . This section describes the major roadway facilities within the City and their relative function to the City's circulation system. The majority of roads within the City, especially the older neighborhoods, were developed based on a grid pattern, which provides good opportunities for connectivity. There are, however, several physical obstructions such as the railroad, canals, and existing land uses that interrupt that connectivity. All the major roads in the City are listed on Table II- 1 and displayed on Map II- 1. The following is a description of the major Federal and State roadways in the City of Edgewater. · Interstate 95/SR 9: Interstate 95 is a north-south facility located in the east portion of the County. It extends along the entire eastern coast of the United States. In V olusia County, it is currently a four-lane divided facility that serves traffic coming into and out of the County. State Road 5/US 1: Major north-south principal arterial located on the east coast of Volusia County. The route passes through Oakhill, Edgewater, New Smyrna Beach, Port Orange, South Daytona, Daytona Beach, Holly Hill, and Ormond Beach, It is currently a four-lane facility from the Brevard County line to the Flagler County line. State Road 442/Indian River Boulevard: East-west facility that runs from 1-95 to Riverside Drive. The portion between US 1 and Riverside Drive is operated and maintained by the City. SR 442 is currently a two-lane divided facility, scheduled for widening to 4-lanes in the near future. The City is seeking the extension of S.R.442 to S.R. 415 (Tomoka Farms Road). . a. Jurisdiction and Maintenance Responsibility Table II- 1 and Map II- 2 show the maintenance responsibility of each roadway in the City of Edgewater. There is one Federal facility, 1-95; two state roadways, SR 5 (US 1) and SR 442 (Indian River Boulevard); and three County roadways, C-4136 (West Park Avenue), C-4137 (Old Mission Road) and Air Park Road (partially paved). Several major roadway segments under City jurisdiction have also been included in the classification. They include 12th Street, .25th Street, 30th Street, East Park Avenue, Guava Drive, Hibiscus Drive, Indian River Boulevard (east of U .S.l) Mango Tree Drive, Ocean Avenue, Queen Palm Drive, Riverside Drive, Roberts Road, Silver Palm Drive, Turgot Avenue, and Willow Oak Drive. b. Functional Classification Table II- 1 and Map II- 1 show the functional classification of major roads in the City of Edgewater. The functional classification of public roads in this element is based on FDOT criteria, which considers quantitative and qualitative factors such as jurisdiction, land access, route length, and trip lengths. A road hierarchy is used to identify relative importance of roads within the system, provide guidance for level of service and design standards, aid in establishing improvement priorities, identify II-2 CITY OF EDGEWATERO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT maintenance responsibility, and assist in determining funding and financing policies. The hierarchy used in this element includes: (1) Limited Access Facilities: Designed to provide regional mobility via uninterrupted flow at high travel speeds for regional trips. Access spacing is generally on the order of one mile or more, and average travel speeds are above 40 miles per hour. There is no direct land access, and urban freeways are multi-lane, divided facilities. Lane access is always via ramps to major arterials or frontage roads. 1-95, which is part of the Florida Intrastate Highway System (FIHS), is the only limited access facility within the City of Edgewater. (2) Arterials: Provide regional mobility via both uninterrupted flow and interrupted flow segments. Arterials provide mobility around and through urban and community cores, and accommodate relatively long trip lengths as opposed to providing access to adjacent properties. Arterials are further classified for performance as Class I, II, and III based on the number of signals per mile, access controls, geometric cross sections, and speed limits. Arterial roads within the City include U.S.1 and S.R. 442 (Indian River Boulevard). (3) Collectors: Provide for movement between local streets and the arterial network. Collectors serve residential, commercial and industrial areas. (4) Local roads: Provide direct access to abutting properties. Local roads accommodate traffic originating in or traveling to properties within a neighborhood, commercial or industrial development. Local roads are not considered part of the major thoroughfare system. c. Constrained Facilities Section 339.155, Florida Statutes, makes governmental police powers available to preserve and protect property necessary for transportation corridors and recommends that needed right-of-way be acquired as far in advance of construction as possible. FDOT requests that local governments identify constrained roadways in their comprehensive plans to ensure maintenance of the operating conditions, so that significant degradation in the level of service does not occur. A constrained roadway is one in which adding two or more through lanes to meet current or future needs is not possible due to physical, environmental or policy barriers. The only constrained road in the City of Edgewater is Riverside Drive. This road has been designated a Scenic Road and will be maintained as a two-lane road facility. Map II- 4 shows the constrained facilities in Edgewater. II-3 CITY OF EDGEWATERQ COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Q TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT d. Accident Locations Accident analysis is critical because it provides a tool for City and state officials to recommend appropriate safety measures. Accident frequency along with roadway performance can be used to prioritize future roadway needs. Map II- 4 and Table Il- 2 show accident data for 1999, compiled by the Volusia County Traffic Engineering Department. It shows those road segments with 10 accidents or more during 1999. The road segment with the largest number of accidents was S.R. 5/U.S. 1, from Turgot Avenue to S.R. 442 with 37 accidents during 1999, followed by the segment between the north City limits and Mockingbird lane, with 33 accidents during the same period. e. Signalized Intersections The location of signalized intersections is shown on Map Il- 4. Most of the intersections in the City use stop signs rather than traffic signals. Traffic lights are located mainly along U.S. 1. f. Evacuation Routes The City of Edgewater adopted the Disaster Preparation, Response, and Recovery Plan in 1995. Map Il- 5 shows the designated evacuation routes: S.R.442, u.s. 1, Park Avenue and Mission Road. These routes will be used to feed 1-95. The risk of stormwater and tidal related flooding in the area is so great that there are no hurricane shelters located anywhere within the New Smyma/Edgewater/Oak Hill area. The City has recently requested the MPO to include the S.R. 442 extension to S.R. 415 to provide an additional route for evacuation purposes. The ability of the City's transportation network to handle evacuation is addressed in the Coastal Management Element. 2. Public Transit System The fixed route bus transit system in V olusia County is operated by V olusia County Transit (VOTRAN), which serves the entire County. There is currently one bus transit route serving the City of Edgewater, Route #41. It runs along US 1, 10th Street, Indian River Boulevard, Roberts Road, and Willow Oak Drive. There are transfer stations near the intersection of US 1 and 10th Street, and another one in Port Orange that offers transit connection with Daytona Beach routes. There are no covered bus stops in the City. Map Il- 6 shows the bus transit route, major transit generators and attractors, and transit service area (estimated at 1/4 mile distance from transit route). Table Il- 3 shows the public transit characteristics and ridership figures for 1999 and 2000. There is a sharp change in the figures for the month of March. A VOTRAN representative has noted that it is mainly due to the fact that Spring Break and Bike Week are held during that month. The major transit generators/attractors in and around the City of Edgewater include the US 1 commercial corridor, the Indian River Boulevard industrial area, City Hall, schools (Indian River Elementary, Edgewater Public Elementary), and Daytona Beach Community College Il-4 CITY OF EDGEWATER(') COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT on 10th Street. 3. Parking System At this time, the City of Edgewater does not have any significant public parking facilities. 4. Bicycle System The City adopted a five-year Bike Path/Sidewalk Master Plan in 1995. Map II- 7 shows the existing and future bike lanes and bike paths/sidewalks, as presented in the plan. Existing bike paths/sidewalks currently run along U.S. 1 from the north City limits to West Turgot Avenue, Turgot Avenue, Riverside Drive, West Park Avenue, South Old County Road from Park Avenue to Edgewater Elementary, and 30th Street/Roberts Road. There is an existing bike lane along Needle Palm Drive from S.R.442 to 3Sth Street. Future facilities as presented in the adopted plan included the extension of the bike path along Needle Palm Drive to 16th Street and then along Mango Tree Drive to Park Avenue, and a new bike path along Indian River Boulevard from U.S.1 to Willow Oak Drive (to be built by the State). The update of the Bike Path/Sidewalk Master Plan is addressed in the Future Transportation Plan section of this Element. 5. Pedestrian System The City does not keep an inventory of pedestrian facilities, except as part of the bicycle master plan (see above). Existing sidewalks are generally found along U.S. 1. The majority of the City's residential neighborhoods do not currently have sidewalk facilities. 6. Intennodal Facilities Intermodal facilities are those transportation elements that accommodate and interconnect different modes of transportation and serve interstate, intrastate and international movement of people and goods. Some facilities considered intermodal include ports, airports, bus stations and train terminals. The Intermodal Surface Efficiency Act (lSTEA) legislation encourages the provision of efficient access to these intermodal facilities. There are no public airports within the City limits. There is only a small private airfield on the south side of West Park Avenue, east of Air Park Road. The closest public airports are the Daytona Beach International Airport and the New Smyrna Beach Municipal Airport. The County is serviced by Greyhound Transportation Services with bus terminals at various locations. The closest terminal is on US 1 in Daytona Beach. The City of Edgewater has two rail lines owned by the Florida East Coast (F.E.C.), one that runs parallel to US 1 and is used for freight, and a second line that is currently abandoned and runs east-west along Park Avenue, from the active line to I-9S. According to the County's Transportation Element, Amtrak is currently negotiating with FEC to use their active rail line for passenger rail service between Miami and Jacksonville, with a stop in Daytona Beach. The City of Edgewater is located along the North Indian River/Intracoastal Waterway. The intracoastal is currently used for recreational boating and fishing. There is some II-S CITY OF EDGEWATER~ COMPREHENSIVE PLAN u TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT development along the west shore of this waterway, including a private marina at Boston Road and Riverside Drive, public parks, and a couple of boat ramps (one public and one private), and several docks. C. TRANSPORTATION ANALYSIS Transportation can have a major role shaping the spatial and functional organization of a community. It can determine the size, scale, status and identity of a community. However, there are other contributing factors that need to be considered, such as the personal, social, physical, environmental, econonuc and cultural attributes of the community. This section will analyze existing conditions of the transportation system to provide a comprehensive assessment of the various transportation facilities and services, and their relationship with existing land uses. This section will also address growth trends, travel patterns, and interactions between land use and transportation, including the compatibility between future land uses and transportation systems. The transportation analysis was conducted using the adopted Florida Standard Urban Transportation Modeling Structure (FSUTMS), provided by the MPO to ensure coordination with other jurisdictions. The adopted FSUTMS model has traffic forecasting integrated with future transit services simulation. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDO}) has established FSUTMS as the standardized travel model for the State. Future travel demand estimates are based on a land use inventory for 1990, and projection of land uses for the years 2000, 2010 and 2020. The data is available at the TAZ level and contains variables such as trip production (housing types and occupancy, and auto availability per dwelling unit); trip attraction (employment and school enrollment); special generators; and internal/ external trips. 1. Socia-Economic Growth Trends The 1990 U. S. Census reported a City population of 15,337. It is estimated that the current population is at 18,865 (year 2000). Population projections prepared by the City's consultants indicate that the City population will grow to approximately 34,481 residents by the year 2020. Table II- 5 shows the socio-economic data by TAZ provided by the MPO. There are slight differences in numbers with the City estimates due to the fact that some TAZs include large unincorporated areas (TAZs 325, 326, 327, and 430). The MPO TAZ data also includes projections of employment. 2. Roadway Current Performance The 1985 Growth Management Act established two important responsibilities for local governments. The first was to set level of service (LOS) standards for public facilities within the jurisdiction as part of the comprehensive plan. The second was to ensure that the public facilities and services proposed in the Capital Improvements Element of the local comprehensive plan were available concurrent with the development. The Department of Community Affairs (DCA) requires that adopted level of service standards be achievable and financially feasible. The standards set a minimum service level that the City must maintain for each of the public facilities, including roadways. II-6 CITY OF EDGEWATERQ COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT The roadway LOS concept is defined in the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) 1998 Level of Service Handbook as it qualitative assessment of the road user's perception of the quality of flow, and is measured by a scale of driver satisfaction. The scale ranges from "A" to "F", with "A" generally representing the most favorable driving conditions and "F" representing the least favorable. . FDOT adopted statewide minimum level of service standards for the State highway system. The minimum level of service standards are used for planning applications, including the review of local government plans. The generalized maximum volume tables provided by FDOT are guidelines recommended for broad planning applications. They are to be used as a general guide to determine highway level of service and through-lane requirements. For the purpose of LOS maintenance, the County has been divided into Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs), twenty-three of which are in Edgewater. TAZs are small, internally homogeneous aggregations of the entire urban area. They range from a City block to areas encompassing several square miles.. . Demographic data, such as population, housing, employment and traffic, is maintained at the TAZ level to measure existing roadway LOS. Map II- 8 shows the TAZs within the City of Edgewater. Minimum level of service standards recommended for the state system are shown on Table II- 7. The standardized descriptions of service levels used in transportation planning are as follows: LOS A - A condition of road performance where traffic density is very low, with little or no restrictions in maneuverability. Drivers can maintain their desired speed with little or no delay. LOS B - A condition of road performance where traffic density is low and vehicles travel with operating speeds somewhat restricted by other vehicles. Drivers still have reasonable freedom to select their speeds. LOS C - A performance condition where operating speeds are determined by other vehicles, permitting a stable traffic flow. Drivers might have limitations to maneuver and to increase speeds. LOS D - A condition of road performance where traffic density is high but tolerable. Fluctuations in traffic volumes may cause reductions in operating speeds. Drivers have little freedom to maneuver. In some instances, traffic flows approach unstable conditions. LOS E - Represents traffic operation near the roadway capacity or maximum service volume. Vehicles flow at unstable conditions. Stop-and-go situations may happen. In freeways or limited access roads, speeds are near thirty (30) miles per hour and traffic density is high. LOS F - This condition usually results from long lines of vehicles backing up because the traffic volume exceeds the roadway capacity. The vehicles are forced to operate at very low speeds. Stop-and-go situations are frequent and in extreme cases, vehicles stop for long periods of time. The revised 1998 FDOT Generalized Tables were used to evaluate roadway performance in the City of Edgewater. The 1998 FDOT Generalized Tables are expressed in terms of peak hour directional volumes and account for peaking characteristics within the hour. Peak hour . . . . . . II-7 CITY OF EDGEWATER 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN (.) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT directional tables are provided because traffic-engineering analyses are conducted on an hourly or sub hourly basis. The travel demand model results are expressed in average daily traffic (ADJ). The factors utilized herein to convert ADT into peak hour directional traffic are: State Arterials Class I State Arterials Class II Major City/County Roadways Peak (K) Factor 0.093 0.093 0.091 Directional en) Factor 0.568 0.568 0.568 Table II- 8 shows the existing levels of service for each major thoroughfare in Edgewater. A level-of-service analysis was performed to determine existing deficiencies. The capacity analysis was based on the FDOT Generalized Peak Hour Directional Maximum Service Volumes for different roadway types. The inventory and analysis of the existing traffic circulation conditions involved reviewing the physical and operational characteristics of the major thoroughfares serving the City of Edgewater, measuring its performance using the 1998 FDOT Generalized Tables maximum service volumes by level of service. Recent traffic counts provided by V olusia County and the City were compared with the year 2000 VCUATS model results for validation. Only the highest traffic volumes reported by the VCUATS model were analyzed to address the worse case condition. Except for Queen Palm Drive, the differences are well within acceptable levels. Model results for Queen Palm Drive are "representative of direct trip loadings from the traffic zones adjacent to the road segment, hence the difference. Nevertheless, it represents a worse case scenario for measuring its performance. Therefore, the 2000 model results reflect an accurate profile of existing traffic performance. Table II- 8 and Map II- 9 show the 2000 traffic conditions in the City of Edgewater. All roadway segments tested comply with the FDOT level of service standards as described above. 3. Future Roadway Performance The Florida Standard Urban Transportation Model Structure (FSUTMS) was used for all of the city's travel demand forecasting. Consistency with the V olusia County Metropolitan Planning Organization (!'vfPO) model (VCUA TS) data and traffic zone structure was maintained through the process in forecasting the city's travel demand. Table II- 9 shows the 2010 and 2020 traffic conditions. Except for 1-95, all roadway segments tested comply with the FDOT level of service standards as described above. Improvements on 1-95 are the responsibility of the State. The City of Edgewater has limited financial resources to address all of the potential traffic circulation system needs identified in its Transportation Element. Therefore, intergovernmental coordination is critical. The V olusia County MFO provided a list of committed roadway projects and transportation studies impacting the City of Edgewater. II-8 CITY OF EDGEWATERO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Q TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Table II- 10 shows the applicable road projects contained in the Volusia County MPO Transportation Improvements Program (TIP), as well road improvements planned by the MPO beyond the year 2005. The traffic simulation process was accomplished in these steps: a. Transportation Network Development Network development is the process of simulating alternative roadway and transit systems through computer modeling. The V olusia County MPO provided the base year and future model data for simulation. b. Trip Generation Trip Generation is performed by converting socioeconomic variables to person trips through a series of multiple regression equations. The outputs from this process are trip productions and attractions by traffic zone and by trip purpose. The six basic trip purposes are: Home-Based Work, Home-Based Personal Business, Home-Based Social-Recreational, Home-Based Shopping, Home-Based School, and Non-Home Based. Special generators are land uses with unusual trip production and attraction features such as airports, colleges or universities. The special generators included in the V olusia County MPO travel demand model includes the Rivergate Plaza, Halifax Plaza, Holly Hill Plaza, Masonova Plaza, Volusia Mall, K-Marts, Big Tree Plaza, Dunlawton Square, Jai-A-Lai, Daytona Beach Airport, Dog Track, Stetson University, Woodland Plaza, Orange City Dog Track, Daytona Beach Pier/Boardwalk, Daytona Beach Community Colleges, Embry Riddle University, Bellair Southern College, Trails Southern College, Ormond Mall, Granada Plaza, Daytona Mall and the V olusia Square Mall. The socio-economic summary information for the traffic zones containing the City of Edgewater is shown in Table II- 5. c. Trip Distribution The Trip Distribution process is based on a "Gravity" simulation and trips are direcrly distributed depending on land use attractiveness and inversely distributed depending on travel time and distances. If the concentration of land uses is intense, more trips get distributed. Inversely, if the travel time and distances are longer, fewer trips get distributed. The trip distribution module from the VCUA TS model was used to assess the future transportation conditions. d. Mode Split Mode Split is used to determine the proportion of person trips by transportation mode. The VCUA TS model provided is a "Highway Only" model and no transit lines are included. The impact of transit ridership on traffic assignment is not significant to warrant its inclusion. II-9 CITY OF EDGEW A TERU COMPREHENSIVE PLAN C) TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT e. Trip Assignment The Trip Assignment process simulates how many automobiles and buses are traveling on the transportation system. In this process, trips produced in one traffic zone are "added" according to the distribution patterns, into different roadways conducing to all other traffic zones. This process is repeated until all traffic zones are assigned and equilibrium is reached. An Equilibrium Assignment process was used in the VCUATS model to estimate the future traffic conditions. Traffic count information from all available sources was provided and was compared with the actual model results for general validation purposes. 4. Public Transit Performance Public transit improvements offer the potential to significantly increase the capacity of the transportation network. One average size bus at capacity can carry as many passengers (approximately 40 persons) as 10 or more private automobiles. Successful transit systems emphasize the land use and travel demand relationship necessary to address congestion problems. Th~ most important factors in encouraging transifuse are mixed land uses and an urban form, which provides street connectivity and access to the pedestrian, transit and bikeway systems. Transit facilities and multi-modal terminals also are important for the success of the transit system. These facilities allow for transfers among the various modes within the transportation system. Public transit level of service criteria is based on the operational and service characteristics of the transit system. Operational characteristics include the number of vehicles operated in maximum service, the amount of service supplied, the average speed, and the number of days the service is provided. Service characteristics include geographic location and service area population. These characteristics are monitored by the local transit provider, but the City could be monitoring levels of service for transit performance based on headway standards. Headway is the time that separates vehicles moving in the same direction on the same route or track. The emphasis should be on reducing headways to encourage public transit ridership. According to the MPO's 2020 Transportation Plan Update, in 1994 VOTRAN provided 1,564,634 miles of service on twenty routes with a minimum of one-hour headways using a fleet of 41 vehicles. The twenty routes provided 180 miles of coverage. The ridership on the twenty routes in 1994 was an average of 10,000 passenger trips per day at a total annual expense of $5,174,792. Ridership increased by 51 percent between 1988 and 1993. Revenue miles of service provided also increased, but only by seven percent over the same period. According to a comparison study performed by the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) in 1993, VOTRAN provides above average vehicle miles of service per service area population, and attracts above-average number of passengers. It does this while maintaining below average unit operating expenses. The VOTRAN transit route currently serving Edgewater covers most of the major traffic generators/ attractors identified on Map II- 6. In analyzing access to transit service, the City II-10 CITY OF EDGEW A TERO COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT considers one-quarter mile on either side of the route an adequate maximum distance that people would be willing to walk to use transit (see Map II- 6). The University of South Florida performed a study ofVOTRAN routes earlier this year, and submitted a recommendation to operate Route 41 as a "deviated fixed-route service utilizing para transit vehicles." The County Council reviewed the recommendation and directed staff to study other options available to make the Edgewater Route more effective and efficient. No recommendations had been submitted as of December 2000. 5. Other Transportation Systems The City's current transportation network is based primarily on a road network serving vehicular traffic, with very little attention given to other means of transportation. The City needs to start establishing facilities that will encourage the use of alternative transportation systems. Parking is an essential component of the overall transportation system. The decision of a commuter to drive alone or to use alternative transportation modes such as ride-sharing or public transit depends to a large extent on the cost, accessibility and availability of parking. As the City grows the need for these types of facilities will increase. Birycling is a viable mobility alternative. Bicycle networks provide a commuting alternative as well as a recreational asset. The City has made efforts to establish a bicycle system. However, the adopted five-year plan was not achieved within that timeframe. The existing bicycle plan will need to be updated to plan for the expansion of the current system. According to the MFO 2020 plan, it is the policy of FDOT to consider adding bicycle facilities to arterials, and wide curb lanes to collectors when the roads are improved within urbanized areas. Pedestrian mobiliry is greatly influenced by the mix and proximity of land uses as well as the availability of adequate sidewalks and other pedestrian facilities. Adequate land uses and appropriate urban design would encourage walking for short trips and for accessing transit facilities and services. The City's Land Development Code currently requires developers to provide sidewalks in new subdivisions. 6. Future Transportation Plan This section provides recommendations for creating a safe, convenient, and energy efficient multi-modal transportation system, coordinated with future land uses, plans and programs of the V olusia County MFO and FDOT. Since World War II, roadways have been designed primarily for automobiles. Very little attention has been given to accommodating other modes of transportation such as bicycles, pedestrians, and transit. The goal of this Transportation Element is to look at roads as multi-modal transportation corridors, and design them accordingly. Intergovernmental coordination is essential for the most cost-effective provision of transportation system improvements. Clearly, the City of Edgewater does not possess the resources nor is it fiscally responsible for the entire transportation system within the City. V olusia County and FDOT have financial responsibility for county roads and state highway II-ll CITY OF EDGEWATER 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT system roads, respectively. Therefore, it is necessary for the City to review the transportation improvement plans and programs prepared by the County and FDOT. In this way, the effort and dollars expended by the City to improve its traffic circulation system may be complemented and perhaps enhanced by the activities of the County and FDOT. One area of coordination should include the preservation and protection of rights-of-way for identified future roadway improvements and construction. With the escalating value of land and costs entailed in right-of-way acquisition it is essential that the City protect roadway corridors in advance from building encroachment. Increased right-of-way costs reduce the funds available for actual construction. The City needs to utilize such techniques as setback requirements, zoning restrictions, right-of-way protection regulations and official transportation maps to preserve and protect existing and future rights-of-way. Other measures are discussed in the policy section. a. Future Transportation Map The purpose of a Transportation Map is to graphically depict the location of all proposed collector and arterial roadways and any limited access facilities, airports, rail lines, and other related facilities. Based on the fact that Edgewater is well served by a transportation grid, not many improvements will be necessary in terms of new road construction. Instead, future improvements will concentrate on upgrading certain roads to handle increased traffic. The main improvement that the City will need to coordinate with V olusia County is the paving of Air Park Road south of S.R. 442. Other improvements that are not necessary for roadway performance within the planning period, but that should be examined for feasibility are: the extension of Mango Tree Boulevard north of Park Avenue, the extension of Guava Road to 30th Street, and the extension of 12th Avenue to Air Park Road. Map II- 11 presents the proposed Future Transportation Map for the City of Edgewater. This map shows the proposed roadway functional classification and number of lanes for each roadway segment. Roadway capacity is based on the functional classification and number of lanes. The level of service standard selected for each roadway was based either on its present or forecasted performance. The map shows the network as it is planned for the year 2020, with several roads at a LOS D, which is an acceptable standard (see Table II- 9). The map accounts for roadway projects included in the DOT, MPO and County programs (see Table II- 10). There are no new roadway projects proposed by the City. Although there are no current or projected deficiencies, other than 1-95, which is a Federal Highway, the City needs to start planning a network that will address future potential deficiencies and will provide connectivity and continuity. Map II- 12 and Table II- 10 show roadway improvements that are not currently on any plan or program, and will not be necessary within the 20-year planning period (2000-2020). Their financial feasibility will be evaluated in the future on a case-by-case basis. Some of those roads are outside the City limits. However, they represent future transportation corridors to be preserved, and it is the City's intent to recommend II-12 CITY OF EDGEWATERQ COMPREHENSIVE PLAN <J TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT and coordinate with the County so that those roads are also included in both the City and the County's future comprehensive plans updates. Future roadway design will need to incorporate bicycle, pedestrian and transit features to achieve a true multi-modal system. In addition to incorporating roadway design standards in the City's Land Development Code, the City will start requiring that new developments be interconnected to enhance the transportation network. Development design must provide connectivity and access between adjacent residential developments and nearby land uses. Traffic calming techniques can be used to protect neighborhoods. b. Transportation Concurrency Exemption Areas/LOS Degradation Chapter 163, F. S., allows the option of exempting certain developments from the transportation concurrency requirements if the project is consistent with the comprehensive plan, promotes public transportation or is within an area designated for infill development, redevelopment or downtown revitalization area. During 2001, the City will be conducting a U.S. 1 corridor study and will be studying the possibility of creating a CRA district. Based on that study, the City may determine the need to utilize the concurrency exemption area option within that district. This element incorporates goals and policies encouraging new development to promote public transportation. The City does not anticipate additional significant degradation on the only constrained facility in the City, Riverside Drive. Traffic projections show that in the year 2020,. this road is estimated to remain at level of service C. Therefore, no additional policies regarding LOS degradation for constrained facilities will be necessary. c. Future Public Transit Plan A transportation system that offers multi-modal opportunities has the potential to absorb a significantly higher number of person trips than a system that focuses solely on accommodating vehicle trips. Improved transit service frequencies and new routes offer a viable transportation alternative and promote transit use. The City will coordinate with the MFa and VOTRAN for the expansion of routes when deemed necessary due to the development of new traffic generators/ attractors. The City will continue to support and participate in the transit system operated by VOTRAN. Furthermore, the City will help achieve increased ridership by encouraging compact development, requiring the provision of pedestrian connections, and requiring the provision of transit facilities and amenities where necessary. d. The Future Pedestrian Plan The analysis of existing pedestrian conditions found that in order to develop a pedestrian improvement/construction program, a citywide inventory of sidewalks, crosswalks and other pedestrian facilities must be completed. By identifying missing links in the pedestrian system, the inventory will allow prioritization of II-13 CITY OF EDGEWATER<.) COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT improvements. Implementation of these improvements will provide pedestrian connectivity to the overall transportation system. e. The Future Bicycle Plan The existing bicycle path system needs to be eA-panded to extend the bike paths along U.S 1 (from West Turgot Avenue to south City limits), and Indian River Boulevard (from U.S. 1 to west City limits). According to the MFO 2020 plan, it is the policy of FDOT to consider adding bicycle facilities to arterials, and wide curb lanes to collectors when the roads are improved within urbanized areas. The City bikeway system will need to continue being expanded, filling gaps and providing new segments where deemed necessary. As shown on Table II- 4 and Map II - 7, the City plans to add several new segments in the coming years. f. TSM/TDM Strategies Transportation System Management (TSM) and Transportation Demand Management (TDM) are options for communities trying to add roadway capacity without having to construct costly new facilities. The ultimate goal of the TDM program is to influence people to shift to more efficient modes of transportation and to travel during off-peak hours. TSM strategies, on the other hand, aim to affect the actual supply of transportation services. The most effective policies integrate supply and demand strategies to create a transportation network that promotes efficient choices. The City of Edgewater does not currently offer any of these programs. However, they are options to consider in the future.

CITY OF EDGEWATER 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Q TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT GOALS, OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES GOAL 1: To develop a safe, convenient, efficient and coordinated system of motorized and non-motorized transportation facilities which ensures adequate movement of people and goods through and within the City. Objective 1.1: Roadway Network To provide attractive, safe, convenient, and efficient arterial, collector and local roadway system that serves travel demands within and through the City. Policy 1.1.1: Policy 1.1.2: Policy 1.1.3: Policy 1.1.4: Policy 1.1.5: Policy 1.1.6: Policy 1.1.7: The arterial roadway system shall be designed through cooperation with the FDOT and V olusia County to provide high-volume, multi-lane facilities with access controls, as needed, to preserve the through traffic carrying capacity of the facility. The City will require joint use access, cross access easements, and access prohibitions wherever traffic patterns and physical features make it possible in the development approval process. The minimum Level of Service (LOS) standard, to be adopted as part of this element and plan, shall be as follows: . Limited Access Roads C, or as otherwise prescribed by FDOT · Arterials D . Collectors D A lower LOS may be acceptable immediately before and after special events where the impacts of such events on the roadway system are infrequent. All major roadways shall be designed as complete transportation corridors, incorporating bicycle, pedestrian and transit features to achieve a true multi-modal system. The City's roadway network must provide a safe and rapid means of coastal - evacuation of its citizens, consistent with the Coastal Management Element of this plan. The City, in cooperation with FDOT will explore, develop and implement policies to discourage local traffic from using 1-95. Projected traffic circulation system demand will be met and the LOS standards cited above will be maintained through the year 2020 by undertaking the projects listed on Table II- 10. The City will cooperate II-29 . CITY OF EDGEWATER 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Policy 1.1.8: and extensively coordinate with the State, the County and the MPO to ensure that these improvements are implemented by the dates indicated, and as the need develops. Proposed developments within the City will be monitored to determine if roadway infrastructure will be adequate to service projected demand, and development approvals will be dependent upon these criteria. The City shall, in cooperation with FDOT, the ECFRPC, the MPO, and the City of New Smyrna Beach, designate Riverside Drive as a constrained roadway. The City shall work with the County and New Smyrna Beach to maintain the adopted level of service on this facility. Objective 1.2: Roadway Connectivity. The City shall, through the development review process, require the provision of an efficient traffic circulation pattern. Policy 1.2.1: Policy 1.2.2: Policy 1.2.3: Policy 1.2.4: Policy 1.2.5: Policy 1.2.6: Policy 1.2.7: The City shall establish design cross sections for local roads in the Land Development Code that accommodate narrower rights-of-way and roadway widths consistent with traditional neighborhood development. The City shall require that roadways be dedicated to the public when there is a compelling public interest for the roadways to connect with existing public roadways. The City shall require that subdivisions of 30 units or more have at least two (2) points of access open to motor vehicle traffic. New subdivisions shall be required to "stub-out" to adjoining undeveloped lands to promote road connectivity, and to connect to existing roadways that are "stubbed-out" at their boundaries. The City shall establish access management standards in the Land Development Code to ensure appropriate access to the City's transportation system. Standards may include the requirement of joint- use driveways and/or cross access easements to access sites. The City shall preserve the movement function of the major thoroughfare system by requiring development of parallel roads or cross access easements to connect developments as they are permitted along major roads. The City shall review through the Technical Review Committee process all proposed development for consistency with future transportation projects listed on Table II-6 and for the implementation of the City's Bicycle Master Plan. II-30 ~ CITY OF EDGEWATER<.:.\" COMPREHENSIVE PLAN Q TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Objective 1.3: Multi-Modal System. The City shall promote alternative modes of transportation to provide a safe and efficient multi-modal system. Policy 1.3.1: Policy 1.3.2: Policy 1.3.3: Policy 1.3.4: Policy 1.3.5: Policy 1.3.6: Policy 1.3.7: By 2002, the City shall develop standards in the Land Development Code for access to public transit, bicycle and pedestrian systems. Such standards shall apply to new developments, substantial improvements of existing developments, and to road improvements. The City shall develop standards for maximum number of parking spaces to encourage walking, bicycling, ridesharing, transit use, and shared parking . The City shall review the Land Development Code to address provision of bus stops, bike parking and circulation, pedestrian walkways, and handicap accessible facilities within new deyelopments and existing developments undergoing substantial improvements. . Site plan reviews will ensure that intermodal transfers are efficiently implemented. The City shall encourage increased land use densities and mixed uses, consistent with the Future Land Use Element to enhance the feasibility of transit and promote alternative transportation modes. The City shall amend the Land Development Code to require that new development be compatible with and further the achievement of the Transportation Element. Requirements for compatibility may include but are not limited to: . Orienting pedestrian access to transit centers and existing and planned routes. . Locating parking to the side or behind the development to provide pedestrian accessibility of building entrances and walkways to the street, rather than separating the building from the street by parking. . Providing clearly delineated routes through parking lots to safely accommodate pedestrian and bicycle circulation. The City shall include landscaping and streetscaping as roadway design components in order to enhance the function of the road for all users. A Pedestrian Circulation Master Plan shall be prepared, adopted and implemented by 2004. Priority will be given to those walkways for which heavy recreational usage is projected, as well as those along roadways between residential areas and schools, which can be implemented concurrently with other roadway improvements. II-31 .. CITY OF EDGEWATER 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN u TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Policy 1.3.8: Policy 1.3,.9: Policy 1.3.10: Policy 1.3.11: Policy 1.3.12: The City's roadway system management will require implementation and construction of an adequate and safe pedestrian circulation system. The City shall amend the Land Development Code to require that sidewalks be constructed concurrendy with new development, by the developer. Additional sidewalks will be constructed in existing developed areas when requested and funded by the abutting property owners. The Land Development Code shall be amended to require that new residential developments with densities of one or more dwelling units per acre provide sidewalks on both sides of every street. Bike paths shall be established on one side of every arterial and collector street with sidewalks established on the opposite side of all arterial streets. The City shall coordinate with the MFO, the County and the State to expand the current bicycle system consistent with the improvements listed on Table II- 4, especially the extension of the U.S. 1 bike path south of its current terminus. Whenever possible, intersections shall be made pedestrian-friendly by limiting the crossing width to 48 feet; use of adequate lighting; adequate timing for traffic signals; and the provision of facilities for the handicapped. The City shall coordinate with FDOT and the County to implement this policy. Objective 1.4: Rights-of-way. The City shall coordinate with the County and the State to prioritize and acquire future right-of-way in accordance with the future traffic circulation plan. Policy 1.4.1: Policy 1.4.2: Policy 1.4.3: Policy 1.4.4: Policy 1.4.5: The City shall adopt the Future Transportation Map to ensure the protection of future rights-of-way. The City shall continue requiring dedication of needed rights-of-way from new development, through subdi~ion regulations and applicable local ordinances. The City shall amend the setback requirements, zoning restrictions and right-of-way protection requirements, if necessary, to make the regulations consistent with this element. The City shall ensure adequate rights-of-way protection for intersections, interchanges and future park and ride sites in order to retain flexibility for future growth and expansion. The City shall adopt minimum rights-of-way requirements in the Land Development Code for new roadways containing the following proVlslOns: II-32 " CITY OF EDGEW A TER 0 COMPREHENSIVE PLAN o TRANSPORTATION ELEMENT Policy 1.4.6: · Arterial Roadways -iSO-foot right-of-way; · Collector Roadways -lOO-foot right-of-way; and .
