  1. Southern Nevada HOV Plan Update ITE Luncheon July 17, 2014 Jeff Lerud, Project Manager

  2. Southern Nevada HOV Plan Update Background of 2007 HOV Plan Purpose Results and Recommendations Next Steps

  3. HOV Plan Background • 2030 Traffic Forecasts and RTP • Enhance mobility • Near and long term priorities

  4. Current HOV System • HOV lanes on US 95 MLK to Ann Rd. and Summerlin Pkwy to Rampart Blvd. • 2+, motorcycles, emergency vehicles (no trucks) • Peak hour • Continuous ingress/egress • Express lanes on I-15 Silverado Ranch Rd. to Sahara Ave. • All vehicles including trucks • 24 hr. • Limited ingress/egress

  5. I-15/US 95 HOV System • Project NEON will connect US 95 to I-15 with a direct flyover ramp • I-15 Express lanes will be converted to HOV lanes • I-15 south of Sahara Ave. one HOV lane each direction (1 HOV, 4+ General Purpose) • 22 miles of HOV system – Silverado Ranch on I-15 to Ann Rd on US 95 • Most of the near term system from the 2007 HOV Plan

  6. HOV Plan Update • Validate the 2035 RTC regional traffic demand model includes mode-choice • Phase 1 HOV system near term priorities • Phase 1 HOV system near term priorities on I-15 • Update overall HOV plan • Workshops and Public Outreach

  7. HOV Plan Update • Validate the 2035 RTC regional traffic demand model includes mode-choice • Model Task Force (MTF) • 2025 forecasts • Project NEON • Deliverable: Technical memorandum 1

  8. HOV Plan Update • Phase 1 HOV system near term priorities (NEON) • Identify Phase 1 HOV needs for NEON • HOV Direct Connector from US95 to I15 • Express Lane conversion feasibility • Deliverable: Technical Memo for NEON limits; Express lanes Implementation Plan (if needed)

  9. HOV Plan Update • Phase 1 HOV system near term priorities (I-15) • Limits of Blue Diamond to Sahara • Re-evaluate direct access points • Preliminary design level line work • Preliminary cost estimates • Deliverable: Recommendation for number of HOV lanes; re-evaluation results of direct connector and new locations

  10. HOV Plan Update • Update overall HOV plan • Re-evaluation and validation of 2007 HOV Plan • Performance Measures for HOV implementation • Conceptual design for up to 3 direct access points • Deliverable: Final report detailing recommended HOV Plan for Southern Nevada

  11. HOV Plan Update • Workshops and Public Outreach • Today • Agency and stakeholder workshops • Share recommendations and receive input/feedback from stakeholders • Public Information Plan (if needed) on how to address Express Lane to HOV Lane conversion

  12. Results and Recommendations 2025 Number of HOV Lane Requirements

  13. Results and Recommendations 2035 Number of HOV Lane Requirements

  14. Results and Recommendations

  15. Results and Recommendations Operational Recommendations

  16. Results and Recommendations • Need for connectivity between Express Lanes and HOV direct connector from US-95 • Convert Express Lanes to HOV • 2 Express Lanes became 1 HOV and 1 GP Express Lane Conversion

  17. Results and Recommendations • Direct connects to arterial • 7 locations screened • St Rose, Blue Diamond, Warm Springs, Sunset, Hacienda, Harmon, Meade • 4 locations proposed • Blue Diamond, Hacienda, Harmon, Meade • HOV to HOV flyover • Propose I-15/I-215 to/from east (Airport) • AND to/from the west HOV Direct Access Ramps (Between St. Rose/Sahara)

  18. HOV Plan Next Steps • Initial modeling and analysis nearly complete • Agency, stakeholder, and public involvement ramping up • Make recommendations on operations issues with the HOV system • Hours of operation – peak hour or 24 hr.(recommended) • Vehicle eligibility – allow high mileage vehicles (NRS ) • Ingress/egress – continuous or limited (recommended) • Direct access connectors

  19. HOV Direct Access Interchanges • 2007 HOV Plan studied Harmon-Hacienda for access to the strip • LV strip due to high volumes and employment center is critical to system • Direct access from park and ride and transit centers • Direct access to freeways in the long term plan (I-215)
