CHAPTER FOURPEDESTRIAN FACILITY RECOMMENDATIONS

76

This chapter recommends two types of infrastructure improvements:

»» Design concepts for six example locations; and prioritized missing sidewalk links in the City. The example location recommendations show how a mix of treatments can improve the pedestrian network in a defined area. Recommended treatments include sidewalks, pedestrian crossing facilities, and bus stop improvements.

»» A prioritized list of sidewalk projects. Sidewalk projects are scored and ranked using the new method recommended in Chapter 3.

Recommendations included in this chapter are planning-level design concepts. This means that the recommendations are guided by the plan goals and informed by existing conditions, best practices, and opportunities identified during field work. Additional engineering analysis and field work is needed before proceeding with project implementation.

Example Locations

Six locations were identified for field work in order to develop conceptual recommendations to improve pedestrian safety and comfort. These “example locations” were identified from several sources, including the demand and needs analysis, public input, and input from the City’s technical team. Appendix C provides

77

DECEMBER 2012

sample comments from CommunityWalk around each example location.

The example locations are typical of pedestrian conditions in many areas of the City. Thus, these design concepts recommended can be applied elsewhere in the City. The example locations are not in any priority order. Many

Ensure ADA compliance.All sidewalks and intersection features meet standards set by PROWAAG, NCDOT and the City of Raleigh.

Ensure sufficient crossing time.Adjust signal timing to ensure pedestrians have at least 3.5 feet per second to cross the street.

Make pedestrians more visible to motorists.Remove line of sight barriers to visibility with infrastructure features that place pedestrians in locations where they are more visible to motorists (and vice-versa).

Improve transit access.Establish bus stops and travel ways to/from bus stops (along and across the roadway) that ensure pedestrian safety and comfort.

Install or improve sidewalk conditions.Install sidewalks where missing and repair damaged on non-ADA-compliant sidewalks where they exist.

Slow motor vehicle speeds at potential points of conflicts with pedestrians.Use geometric, operational and signal/signage methods to reduce speeds in order to reduce potential crashes between pedestrians and motor vehicles.

Shorten crossing distances.Use infrastructure features to shorten the distance pedestrians are in travel lanes while crossing the street.

Reduce or eliminate potential points of conflicts with pedestrians.Use strategies to separate pedestrians and motor vehicles in the roadway.

of the design concepts are described in Chapter 3, Best Practices, Design Standards and Sidewalks. Overall, recommended design concepts are intended to achieve one or more of the following objectives:

The six locations are up to ¼ mile long and are referenced or bounded by a primary street with selective cross streets as follows:

»» Avent Ferry Road between Varsity Drive and Centennial Parkway

»» Glenwood Avenue (US 70) between Pleasant Valley Road and commercial driveway at Pleasant Valley Promenade

»» Brier Creek Parkway between Little Briar Creek Lane and Skyland Ridge Parkway

»» Martin Luther King Boulevard between Blount Street and Garner Road

»» New Bern Avenue between 3600 and 3800 New Bern Avenue

»» Wake Forest Road between the Beltline off-ramp and St. Albans Drive

Avent Ferry Road between Varsity Drive and Centennial Parkway

Photo 40. Non-motorized activity at NCSU.

Overall Need»9 High pedestrian, bike and transit use at intersec-

tions due to location near NCSU.»9 Pedestrian conflicts with left turns; »9 Lack of facilities/infrastructure (landing, median

protection, sidewalks); and»9 Long crossing distances.»9 Bike route on Avent Ferry.

Improvements »» Add sidewalks.»» Shorten crossing distances and improve pedestrian

visibility with curb extensions.»» Provide pedestrian refuges with raised center medi-

ans and right turn channelization islands. »» Realign intersections to reduce pedestrian-vehicle

conflicts.»» Improve signal timing and sequence.

Rationale. The section of Avent Ferry Road has a high level of non-motorized travel – walking, bicycling and transit use, due in large part to the proximity of the North Carolina State University (NCSU) campus, educational and residential facilities, and supporting retail establishments. A bicycle route crosses Avent Ferry Road south of Centennial Parkway. Safety concerns include long pedestrian crossing distances with insufficient pedestrian crossing facilities; pedestrian conflicts with left turns; and missing sidewalks along portions of the segment. Recommended Design Concepts. Recommended concepts are concentrated at the two intersections, including the bus stops. The recommendations include signal changes, geometric changes within the right-of-way, new signage, and maintenance. Specific recommendations within the segment are summarized in the table below and shown on two maps:

Glenwood Avenue between Pleasant Valley and Commercial Driveway at Pleasant Valley Promenade

Overall Need9» Lack of pedestrian crossing facilities at inter-

sections and building access points.9» Heavy motor vehicle traffic.9» Long pedestrian crossing distances.9» High pedestrian traffic area.

Improvements » Add sidewalks. » Stripe high-visibility crosswalks. » Add pedestrian signals. » Shorten crossing distances and provide pedes-

trian refuges with raised center medians and right-turn channelization islands.

» Shorten crossing distances with curb exten-sions.

» Realign intersections to reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts.

» Relocate bus stop to far side of commercial driveway entrance.

Rationale. This segment was selected as an Example Location because of overall concerns about the safety of pedestrians walking along and crossing the roadway. Adjacent land use to this location is retail and commercial, with ample parking lots and driveways for reaching these establishments. Each of the several driveways that interrupt the sidewalk creates an intersection-type situation that increases the risk of pedestrian-vehicle

conflicts. Facilities that improve pedestrian visibility are needed at these locations. Two bus routes travel along Glenwood Avenue, with stops spaced approximately 1,000 to 2,000 feet apart. Sidewalks are present along both sides of the street with varying buffer widths. Six travel lanes that expand to eight or more at intersections create long pedestrian crossings. There are no pedestrian signals at the signalized intersection of Glenwood Avenue and Pleasant Valley Road. Striped crosswalks are missing at all intersections and driveway crossings. Pedestrian crossing facilities will help mitigate the effects of heavy motor vehicle traffic and long pedestrian crossing distances.

Recommended Design Concepts. Recommended concepts are concentrated at the two intersections, including one bus stop. The recommendations include signal changes, geometric changes within the right-of-way, new signage, and maintenance. Specific recommendations within the segment are summarized in the table below and shown on two maps:

Brier Creek Parkway between Little Briar Creek Lane and Skyland Ridge Parkway

Overall Need9» Lack of pedestrian crossing facilities at intersec-

tions.

9» Large size of intersections.

9» Heavy motor vehicle traffic.

9»Missing sidewalks along roadway.

9» Shopping area with high vehicle traffic and potential pedestrian use.

9»Wide pavement on side street approaches that is not used.

Improvements » Add sidewalks.

» Shorten crossing distances and provide pedestrian refuges with raised center medians and right turn channelization islands.

» Stripe high visibility crosswalks.

» Stripe advance stop bars.

» Add traffic and pedestrian signals, when warranted.

Super Intersections -- Option 1:»Widen existing center media to serve as pedestrian

refuge. » Install diagonal crosswalks on Brier Creek Parkway

through the median to reduce pedestrian-vehicle conflicts with left turns from Brier Creek Parkway.

» Replace existing parallel bar crosswalks with high visibility crosswalks.

Super Intersections -- Option 2:» Stripe crosswalks across Brier Creek Parkway, using

existing curb ramps and median crossing locations. » Stripe advance stop bars for motor vehicles.» Replace existing parallel bar crosswalks with high

visibility crosswalks.

Rationale. This segment of Brier Creek Parkway is surrounded by a series of large retail and commercial venues that attract high numbers of visitors, primarily in motor vehicles. There is limited bus service on Brier Creek Parkway. Most bus routes serve the adjacent streets and serve the retail and commercial establishments in the area. The pedestrian network that is part of this circulation system is intermittent along Brier Creek Parkway and generally lacks adequate pedestrian crossing facilities.

Recommended Design Concepts. Recommended concepts are concentrated at three intersections: Little Brier Creek Lane, Glenwood Avenue, and Skyland Ridge Parkway. Recommendations

91

DECEMBER 2012

for all three intersections will shorten crossing distances and stripe high visibility crosswalks. Design concepts typical of large four-way intersections are recommended at Glenwood Avenue. Two options are recommended for Little Briar Creek Lane and Skyland Ridge Parkway, since these intersections include a “super street” median to control turning movements through the intersection. The recommendations for these two intersections also include signalizing the intersection when motor vehicle and pedestrian traffic warrant.

Specific recommendations within the segment are summarized in the table below and shown on a series of five maps:

Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard between Blount Street and Garner Road

Overall Need9» Overall difficulty in crossing MLK Boulevard.

9» Skewed crossing at East Street.

9» Long crossing distances.

9» Pedestrian signal phase conflicts with left turn phase at Garner Road

9» Bike route along MLK Boulevard.

9» High pedestrian traffic area.

Improvements » Shorten crossing distances and provide pedestrian

refuges with raised center medians and right turn channelization islands.

» Shorten crossing distances with curb extensions.» Stripe high visibility crosswalks. » Relocate bus stop to far side of intersection for

improved safety. » Install and widen sidewalks.» Increase size of pedestrian mixing area on corners.» Provide a Leading Pedestrian Interval signal phase

at MLK Boulevard and Blount Street. » Restrict Right-Turn-On-Red from MLK Boulevard

onto Blount Street. » Improve way finding signage for Shaw University

campus.» Install stairs on the north side of MLK Boulevard to

connect to greenway trail.» Encourage bicyclists to ride in the roadway by

installing shared lane markings on eastbound MLK Boulevard between East Street and Garner Road.

Rationale. This segment of Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard serves Shaw University, generating a substantial amount of pedestrian traffic. Other adjacent land uses are primarily residential, with several points of access to Chavis Park and the Capital Area Greenway trail system near the Garner Road intersection. Sidewalks buffered by a planting strip serve “along the roadway” pedestrian needs. Four of the six intersections include striped crosswalks and pedestrian signals. Bus stops at Person Street and East Street create additional needs to accommodate riders on the sidewalk and safe roadway crossings. The roadway is comprised of two travel lanes in each direction and a center lane that serves as a center turn lane or unimproved center median. A bikeway running along East Street turns onto Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard and continues east. Major pedestrian safety concerns include limited facilities for pedestrians to cross the roadway and long crossing distances, especially at the East Street intersection. A specific concern is the conflict between the pedestrian signal phase and left-turn phase at Garner Road.

Recommended Design Concepts. Recommended design concepts are concentrated at intersections, with improvements to bus stops. Recommendations include new sidewalks, shorter crossing distances at intersections with geometric changes, new crosswalk striping at intersections, a way-finding system for Shaw University, a pedestrian-bicyclist mixing area, streetscape enhancements, and more attention to sidewalk maintenance. Specific recommendations within the segment are summarized in the table below and shown in a series of three maps:

New Bern Avenue between 3600 and 3800 New Bern Avenue

Overall Need9» Lack of pedestrian crossing facilities.

9» Large intersection with long pedestrian crossings.

9»Missing sidewalk needed for connectivity.

9» Heavy vehicle traffic on New Bern Avenue.

Improvements » Install sidewalks.» Stripe high visibility crosswalks. » Shorten crossing distances and provide pedestri-

an refuges with raised center medians and right turn channelization islands.

» Realign intersections to reduce pedestrian-vehi-cle conflicts.

» Improve signal timing and sequence.» Relocate and improve bus stop.

Rationale. This segment of New Bern Avenue is just east of an I-440 Beltline interchange. Adjacent land use is commercial/retail. The wide right-of-way with multiple lanes in each direction at the interchange continues through the segment. At its widest point, the roadway includes eight travel lanes and a raised center median. Sidewalks with a planted buffer serve pedestrians along most of the segment, but some

gaps (due, in part, to dedicated right turn lanes and multiple commercial driveway entrances) interrupt the sidewalk continuity. Features at the three bus stops range from a pole and flag to a sidewalk could be improved and better located. There are no designated pedestrian crossings in the segment of New Bern Avenue, in spite

of the high volume of pedestrians. See the text box for comments from the on-line survey and CommunityWalk mapping tool. The nearest marked pedestrian crossing is at N. Rogers Lane, approximately 1 ¼ mile from Trawick Road.

Recommended Design Concepts. Recommended

»» My neighborhood (Trawick Downs) is 4 blocks from a shopping center (Tower). However, teens cannot walk there for employment. Others cannot walk there to shop. There are sidewalks in the sub-division but no sidewalk connecting the subdivision to the shopping center. A walkable sidewalk would be a great asset to the neighborhood and to the merchants at the shopping center. (Survey respondent)

»» I see many pedestrians and cyclists in unsafe conditions in this area, including walking & biking along 64 over the I-440 interchange (there are paths worn in the grass) and crossing 64 mid-block near the hotels, plasma donation center, shops. I have witnessed multiple near-misses, esp. as cars take the exit/entrance ramps from I-440. (Community Walk respondent)

109

DECEMBER 2012

design concepts provide access management, improve driveway crossings and address ADA-compliance needs. Other recommendations improve bus stop siting and features, and add roadway crossings for companion bus stops. The largest set of improvements is at the Trawick Road intersection, establishing pedestrian crossings on all approaches and adding a pedestrian-only signal phase. Specific recommendations within the segment are summarized in the table below and shown on two maps:

»» Map 22. New Bern Avenue Example Location Map 1: Trawick Road.

»» Map 23. New Bern Avenue Example Location Map 2: 3800 New Bern Road.

Wake Forest Road between the Beltline off-ramp and St. Albans Drive

Overall Need9» Lack of pedestrian crossing facilities (cross-

walks, pedestrian signals).9» Access to transit needs.9» Heavy vehicle traffic on each leg of intersection.9» Overall mix of modes.

» High pedestrian traffic area.» Bike crossing at St. Albans Road.» Interchange is a barrier to pedestrian

travel and access.

Improvements » Shorten crossing distances and provide pedes-

trian refuges with raised center medians and right turn channelization islands.

» Shorten crossing distances using tighter curb radii and curb extensions.

» Stripe high-visibility crosswalks, realigning as needed.

» Change signal phasing to reduce likelihood of pedestrian/vehicle conflicts.

» Install a signalized mid-block crossing of Wake Forest Road near the hospital right-in/right-out driveway.

Rationale. This segment of Wake Forest Road is just east of an I-440 Beltline interchange. Adjacent land use is institutional (hospital), hospitality (hotels and restaurants), commercial, and some retail. The wide right-of-way with multiple lanes in each direction are present at the interchange

and through the segment. At its widest point, the roadway includes eight travel lands and an intermittent painted center median. Sidewalks with a planted buffer serve pedestrians along most of the segment, but some gaps (due, in part, to a bus stop pull-out just east of St. Albans Drive and multiple commercial driveway entrances) interrupt the sidewalk continuity. Features at the two bus stops include a pole and flag and a sidewalk connection. The only pedestrian crossing at St. Albans Drive is poorly designed with long crossing distances across two approaches. Pedestrians presence along and across this segment of Wake Forest Road indicates that improvements are needed. See the text box insert for a comment from the on-line survey.

Recommended Design Concepts. Recommended design concepts improve driveway crossings and address ADA-compliance needs. Other recommendations establish a mid-block crosswalk for access to the Duke/Raleigh Hospital, new pedestrian crossing facilities at the Beltline off-ramp, improved pedestrian crossing facilities at St. Albans’s Drive, and pedestrian warning signs for motorists. Specific recommendations for the segment are summarized in the table below and shown in a series of three maps:

»» Map 24. Wake Forest Road Example Location Map 1: Navaho Drive.

»» Map 25. Wake Forest Road Example Location Map 2: Hospital Entrance.

»» Map 26. Wake Forest Drive Example Location Map 3: St. Albans Drive.
