Orange County
Multimodal Corridor Plan
Presentation

Presentation Outline
• Project Context • Project Overview • Recommendations • Project Implementation • Coordination with Other
Initiatives
Project Context
• Goal to have transportation better reflect land use
• Transportation plan historically roadway-focused • 2011 legislation removed state mandates • Develop and implement a different approach
– More urban, multimodal, safer for pedestrians/bicyclists
Project Context
• Make key State/County corridors more multimodal
• Year 2040 network designed to leverage limited available funding
– Coordinated plan to make investments add most value
– 2013 impact fee changes allow funding of operational projects – Use maintenance/resurfacing to
add multimodal features
Project Overview
Project Overview
Phase 1 • Plan document addresses safety and planning
needs • Based on extensive technical analysis • Analysis of County and specific corridors • Understand trends and potential solutions to
support balanced network
Project Overview
Organized by Theme: – Safety – Livability – Technology – Economy – Amenity
Project Overview: Safety
• Analysis of crash data, intersections, posted speeds • Complete Streets guidelines/
corridor review • ADA assessment • Pedestrian safety
strategies
Project Overview: Livability
• Land use and placemaking – Orange Avenue – University Boulevard
• Lighting, landscaping, and streetscape
• “Road diet” analysis • High quality transit
areas
Project Overview: Technology
• Fiber optics and adaptive signals • Red light safety cameras • Beacons / traffic control
technologies • Pedestrian/bicycle data collection • Multimodal trip planning for real-
time travel information
Project Overview: Economy
• Potential Multimodal Focus Areas – International Drive – UCF
• Major employment clusters • Freight mapping and analysis
– From MPO Freight Plan update
• Revenue constraints • Public-private partnerships
Project Overview: Amenity • Recreational trails / Trails Master Plan
– MPO Trail Crossings Working Group
• Multiuse path network • Parking • Bikesharing / carsharing
– MPO Bike Sharing Working Group
Recommendations: Safety
• Multimodal Roadway Conceptual Analysis template • Orange County Complete Streets policy • ADA compliance and resurfacing costs/implementation (Public
Works ADA Compliance Initiative) • Pedestrian Plan activities, based on County priorities and
budget, as part of new County safety program • Road Safety Audit for identified “clusters” of high-crash
locations • Engineering and planning evaluation on County roadways with
posted speeds above 45 MPH
Recommendations: Livability
• Review of sidewalk width and pedestrian connectivity • County Trees in the Right of Way Group recommendations • Evaluation of “bicycle boulevard” prototypes
– Low speed/bike priority streets – Need data first
• Pilot study of University Boulevard corridor transition – Future year transition – Parallel facilities (Richard Crotty Parkway)
Recommendations: Technology
• Availability of beacons and safety features from FDOT • Cost-benefit analysis for state contracts for technology
purchases • FDOT’s product lists for new options • Feasibility of open source multimodal trip planning tools • GIS layers of available current pedestrian/bicycle counts and
turning movement counts (TMC after 2015 retiming) • Feasibility of annual TMC program • Feasibility of pedestrian counters in key locations
Recommendations: Economy
• Modeling of proposed Multimodal Focus Areas • Freight movement prioritization on Economy Corridors • Orange County freight-related roadway projects for FDOT
Investment Element • Feasibility of public-private partnerships and Transportation
Development Authorities (Florida Statutes) • Cost analysis of multimodal/Complete Streets prototypes for
capital/operations/maintenance • Design-build feasibility/training for County staff
Recommendations: Amenity
• Grant program to seek funding for trails/pedestrian/bicycle enhancements
• GIS inventory of multiuse paths • MetroPlan Orlando’s Bike Sharing Working Group
recommendations • MetroPlan Orlando’s Trail Crossings Working Group
recommendations – Prioritize County pedestrian and bicycle counts at these intersections
• Further study on on-street parking
Project Implementation Phase 1 • Public Works ADA Compliance Initiative • Multimodal Sand Lake Road Roadway
Conceptual Analysis • Road Safety Audit for Texas-Americana • New Pedestrian Safety Program • Freight-related roadway projects to
regional/state freight plans
Project Implementation Phase II • Developing multimodal 2040 network • Based on MPO 2040 LRTP projects and
projected funding • Modeling and cost projections • Refining transportation-land use performance measures
Project Implementation Phase III • Identify individual corridors for multimodal
transition • Determine funding sources/options • Orange County Complete Streets Policy • Develop concurrency alternatives • Guidance for next impact fee update
DRAFT—CONCEPTUAL ONLY
Coordination with Other Initiatives
• Orange County Sustainability Plan • Forthcoming Sustainable Land
Development Code – Land use context – Street standards
• MetroPlan Orlando’s 2040 Long Range Transportation Plan – State projects – Funding projections
• Forthcoming FDOT Complete Streets standards
