Fox Cities Convention and Visitors Bureau
Wayfinding Signage Plan
Appleton, WI
Traffic planning services for the development of a regional wayfinding signage plan for the Fox Cities area to help visitors, newcomers and residents find key attractions and services. Project includes developing criteria for text, locating signs, identifying signs that need to be replaced, coordination with the Wisconsin Department of Transportation, and construction bidding documentation.
Ashwaubenon Traffic Study
Village of Ashwaubenon,
Brown County, Wisconsin
Design and traffic engineering services in connection with the CTH VK (Lombardi Avenue) reconstruction project in the City of Green Bay and Village of Ashwaubenon involving the reconstruction of the existing 4-lane divided rural roadway to a 6-lane urban section.
An extensive two-part traffic data collection and traffic impact analysis for the Village of Ashwaubenon was conducted. OMNNI collected 24-hour volume, classification, and speed data on all streets entering and exiting the study area. Turning movement counts were collected at key intersections that had traffic capacity concerns. This data was used as the basis for a comprehensive traffic analysis report. OMNNI reviewed traffic patterns to and from specific commercial developments, and proposed roadway, intersection, and traffic control improvements to accommodate the change in traffic due to the Lombardi Avenue project. Future traffic projections and intersection capacity analyses were included in the study.
CTH U (S. 76th Street),
Milwaukee/Greenfield limits to Oklahoma Avenue
Milwaukee County, Wisconsin
OMNNI Associates and DAAR Engineering provided traffic engineering services for this rehabilitation project which included intersection improvements at signalized intersections and access control improvements along the corridor.
Average daily traffic volume and classification data was collected near the north and south project limits. This data was used to develop traffic projections along the corridor. Peak hour turning movement counts were collected at all signalized intersections. Peak hour factors and traffic growth rates were estimated. Peak hour traffic turning volumes were determined for the existing year, construction year, and design year.
OMNNI then conducted intersection capacity analysis at the three signalized intersections. Existing and design year level of service (LOS) were determined for each movement on each approach, following 2000 HCM Guidelines. The intersections were analyzed for geometric and capacity deficiencies. Based on traffic volumes and crash patterns it was recommended to design slotted left turn lanes for northbound and southbound left turns at all signalized intersections along CTH U. Traffic signal coordination timing and optimization were provided using Synchro traffic models.
OMNNI provided traffic signal design and signal interconnect expertise at the three signalized intersections of Howard Avenue, Morgan Avenue, and Oklahoma Avenue. Signal interconnect design was included to complete the fiber optic interconnect along the greater South 76th Street corridor. Temporary traffic signals were also necessary due to the median island improvements.
