SCAG Toolbox Tuesday: Mixed Use Development Traffic Impacts & Bike and Pedestrian Circulation Analysis
January 25 (10:00 am – 1:00 pm)
Mixed Use Development Traffic Impacts & Bike and Pedestrian Circulation Analysis
A national study for the US EPA developed a new methodology to more accurately predict the traffic impacts of mixed use developments. The potential vehicle trip reductions analyzed were significant enough to demonstrate that conventional trip generation methods could exaggerate roadway impacts and the need for mitigation which may include higher impact fees, exactions, and negotiated payments than should be the case. These factors could also contribute to potentially discouraging development of otherwise desirable projects.
Expert consultants in applying Mixed Use Development (MXD) Trip Generation methodologies will provide an overview of these innovative techniques, and provide insights into applying these techniques in Southern California. In addition, they will cover traffic engineering based methodologies for analyzing bike and pedestrian volume and level of service at intersections. Applying traffic engineering standards to bike and pedestrian circulation is an important next step in adequately accommodating alternatives to automobile travel in southern California communities.
