I showed up with numbers from the area showing that traffic had actually decreased over the past decade. The consultant agreed with me but said that they were required to assume 0.5% increase.<br /><br />Someone has to speak up about this madness before we widen roads on which traffic is declining!<br />Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02027332620204904993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280277691673459003.post-59581686910737522652012-08-24T11:37:31.777-07:002012-08-24T11:37:31.777-07:00In places like Philadelphia, PennDOT and the City ...In places like Philadelphia, PennDOT and the City of Philadelphia specify a 0% growth rate for urban roadways.

Jurisdictions I've worked with refine their numbers, with some using the data over the most recent several years -- declining vehicle-miles & volumes -- to refine both their short- and long-range forecasts.Bossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032063076539453859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7280277691673459003.post-5409301096885718212012-08-24T02:43:08.102-07:002012-08-24T02:43:08.102-07:00The MTBA green line - the busiest light rail line ...The MTBA green line - the busiest light rail line in terms of boardings per mile in the U.S. - runs down the middle of Com.
