• TMA designation in July 18, 2012

• TMA Population – 202,637 (urbanized)

• MSA Population ~ 365,000 (also includes

one other county in WV)

• KYOVA Planning Boundary grew

• Now includes Boyd and Greenup

counties in Kentucky and Putnam County

in West Virginiao RIC, the MPO in Charleston is taking lead in planning

responsibilities for Putnam County

Huntington, WV-KY-OH Urbanized area Transportation Management Area

Evaluate and address mobility issues due to flooding and related events

Identify stormwater improvements to positively impact the traffic network

Identify mitigation measures that can be taken to decrease the likelihood of future catastrophic events

Study the flow of all traffic (motorized and non-motorized) through the identified problem areas

Context

Project Approach

• Multi-modal transportation issues: CSX rail network, pedestrian traffic, transit

• Pedestrian and bike facilities connecting the main routes

• Improved connections and flexibility

Circulation

• Sustainable transportation network

• Green infrastructure strategy that complements the failing storm system

• Future economic stability and growth

Stormwater & Green Infrastructure

• Tools to bring vision to reality

• Options for future funding of projects

Implementation of Plans

• Open, accessible process for stakeholder involvement

• Coordination with community groups and leadership

• Use the community’s unique insights

Recommendations

Recommendations

This test case focused on CSO #12 to mitigate flooding in the Hal Greer Boulevard

underpass. The proposed alternatives were evaluated for the following goals:

Eliminate underpass flooding up to a 5-year design storm.

Eliminate the localized flooding issues within the basin.

Reduce the number of CSO events per City of Huntington, WV Long Term

Control Plan (LTCP).

Improve water quality.

Complete Streets

The plan identified 9 projects in Huntington where CSO improvements, roadway

improvements, and rightsizing, coupled with installation of green infrastructure,

can achieve these goals:

Reduce impervious surfaces throughout the city and increase groundwater recharge and

retention of stormwater

Reduce vehicle speeds and make drivers more aware of their surroundings

Create community identity and provide a sense of place for each corridor

Improve safety for all travel modes

Provide opportunities for users, regardless of economic status, and reduce dependence

on single driver trips

Encourage redevelopment and community investment

Complete Streets: 5th Avenue Part 1

Business Area (29th Street to 20th Street)Current configuration: Four travel lanes (one way - east)

Planned configuration: Three 11-foot travel lanes with a dedicated two-way cycle track, and bioretention

swales adjacent to sidewalks. Pavement updated with porous asphalt or pervious pavers under the cycle

track.

University Area (20th Street to 16th Street)Current configuration: Four travel lanes (one way - east)

Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes and an 8-foot two-way cycle track on the north side. Include

a 10-foot center pedestrian refuge with bioretention bulbs. Install parallel parking on both sides. On the north

side, install 6-foot sidewalk and a 6-foot green buffer. On the south side, install 6-foot sidewalk and 6-foot

green buffer. Pavement updated with porous asphalt under the cycle track. At either end of this section of

corridor, there would be an opportunity to establish gateway wayfinding to the Marshall University academic

campus

Residential Area (16th Street to 13th Street)Current configuration: Four travel lanes (one way - east)

Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes and an 8-foot two-way cycle track on the north side. Include

side, install 6-foot sidewalk and a 6-foot green buffer. On the south side, install 6-foot sidewalk and 6-foot

green buffer. Pavement updated with porous asphalt under the cycle track

Current configuration: 2+2 travel lanes (bi-directional) with 4-foot sidewalk on west side and 2-foot sidewalk

on east side

Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes, a center turn lane with bioretention islands, and an

elevated bicycle / multiuse path on the east side. Pavement updated with porous asphalt or pervious pavers

under the multi-use path

University Area (7th Avenue to 5th Avenue)

Current configuration: 2+2 travel lanes (bi-directional) with 12-foot sidewalk and street parking on both

sides from 7th Avenue north to the alley and then 2+2 travel lanes (bi-directional) with center striped turn

lanes and 12-foot sidewalk on both sides from the alley north to 5th Avenue.

Planned configuration: Two 11-foot travel lanes with a 6-foot center pedestrian refuge, street parking on one

side, a dedicated two-way cycle track, and bioretention swales adjacent to sidewalks. Pavement updated with

porous asphalt or pervious pavers under parking areas and cycle track. The northbound Hal Greer Boulevard

and 5th Avenue intersection presents an opportunity to establish gateway wayfinding to the Marshall

University academic campus and the stadium

Lessons Learned

Maintenance Regularly maintain infrastructure – water, transportation, etc

Patience No quick fix for resilience issues. Takes many overlapping plans

Real Numbers Budgets should reflect real need, no matter how tall the task

A Real Team Effort Solutions are multi-modal and cross-disciplinary

Community Ultimately a quality of life decision
