Project
David E. Wooster was contracted by Adventure Development to perform a traffic impact study and Highway Occupancy Permit plans for a large-scale retail development located at the northern tier suburbs of Pittsburgh. The site is bounded by mix of land uses that include residential, UPMC Passavant Hospital, and LaRoche College. Wooster was creative in its final access management plans, and improvements to maintain the integrity of the limited access constraints along McKnight Road (SR 4003), by adding capacity through turn lane modifications and traffic signal control enhancements. These techniques reduced the overall costs while significantly improving the operations and circulation of the external and internal roadway network. Right-of-way needs were minimal and limited to minor impacts adjacent to the site grading.
Following the completion of the Phase 1 improvements (Westside), Adventure is starting the second phase (Eastside) of the its 1,000,000 s.f. mix-use development. Preliminary and final roadway and traffic signal improvements are to be completed for a projected opening date for 2011. |
