B.6. - RECOMMENDATIONS AND REPORT CONCLUSIONS

B.6.1.   Recommended Improvements

The findings of the TIS shall be provided in summary format, including the identification of any areas of significant impacts and recommended improvements/mitigation measures to achieve LOS standards.

A.

Geometric Improvements. The TIS shall include recommendations for all geometric improvements, such as pavement markings, signs, adding through or turn lanes, adding project access and assorted turn lanes, acceleration lanes, and changes in medians. Sufficient dimensions/data shall be identified to facilitate review. Anticipated right-of-way needs shall be identified.

B.

Responsibility. The location, nature, and extent of all transportation improvements recommended to achieve the required LOS for each analysis horizon shall be identified. In addition, the sponsor responsible to complete the improvements shall be identified.

C.

Proposed Transportation Demand Management. If TDM measures are recommended to mitigate the traffic impact of the proposed land use action, a specific TDM Implementation Proposal shall be developed and presented to the ECM Administrator. If accepted, this Implementation Proposal will become a condition of approval of the land use action requested. Each TDM Implementation Proposal shall be developed in conformance with the ECM Administrator's and the PPACG's Transportation Demand Management Program.

D.

Summary Presentation. A Recommended Improvements Summary Table shall be prepared. The recommended improvements identified on the Recommended Improvement Table shall be categorized as Master Planned, Background Committed, or Project Committed. Each project shall include a description of its location, the type of project, right-of-way needs (for roadways), and signal or turn lane improvements (for intersections). Commitment to funding and constructing each of the improvements shall be identified.
