Lafayette Boulevard Corridor Study

The Lafayette Boulevard Corridor Study presents a recommended plan to address current transportation conditions and anticipate future travel demands. It emphasizes the importance of accommodating all modes of transportation, including walking, bicycling, and transit, while enhancing connectivity between land use and transportation systems. Public involvement shaped objectives and priorities, identifying existing issues like peak-hour traffic jams and inadequate infrastructure. The plan aims to consolidate access, increase capacity, and promote redevelopment, ensuring a safer, more efficient corridor for all users.

  6. Existing Daily Traffic 11,500 vpd 21,500 vpd 21,500 vpd

  7. Future Conditions • Traffic is forecast to increase substantially – essentially double from today • Intersection conditions could worsen – safety and operations • Increase in delay • Reduction in speed • Reduced mobility

  8. Future Traffic Volumes 15,000 vpd 41,000 vpd 41,000 vpd

  9. The Recommended Plan • Consistent with the adopted city comprehensive plan • Consistent with FAMPO’s Long-Range Transportation Plan • Accommodates all modes of transportation • Sensitive to context • Increases capacity – intersections and mid-block • Consolidates access – fewer driveways • Creates gateways • Includes landscaping/streetscaping • Invests in the corridor to encourage new and redevelopment
