●  Routes 5 & 20 Corridor Study - Livingston & Ontario Counties (currently underway)

Ontario County and Livingston County are developing a corridor land use and access management plan for Routes 5 & 20 in East and West Bloomfield, Ontario County, and Lima, Livingston County. The project is currently underway.

A common vision for the corridor will be developed and a build-out analysis using existing zoning regulations will be completed, including assessing the potential impacts to safety and traffic. Economic development needs, desired land uses, and resource protection and management will be identified. New development scenarios that support the identified community needs and desires will be developed and analyzed.

Towns of Hopewell and Seneca, Ontario County

The Towns of Hopewell and Seneca are experiencing growth pressures that will impact the safety and efficiency of State Routes 5 & 20, the main transportation corridor through their communities. 

This study developed a vision for the Routes 5 & 20 Corridor, and completed a build-out analysis based on current zoning regulations. It then compared this analysis to one based on access management-oriented zoning regulations, identified specific access management and transportation issues, and provided specific “how to” recommendations and implementation strategies.

A copy of the Routes 5 & 20 East Corridor Study Final Plan and the Corridor Workbook is available for review at the GTC Offices.  More information can be obtained by visiting the project web page or by contacting the Ontario County Planning and Research Department at (585) 396-4455.

Avon, Geneseo, and Mount Morris, Livingston County

These studies reviewed the existing transportation and land use conditions along three major corridors in Livingston County:

• Routes 5 & 20 in the Town and Village of Avon

• Route 20A in the Town of Geneseo

• Route 408 in the Town of Mount Morris

Alternatives for improving safety and reducing congestion for all modes of travel, and enhancing the business and aesthetic environment of the corridor through land use-based strategies we developed.

For more detailed project information, the full reports are available in Adobe PDF by visiting Plans & Studies. Published copies of the three Livingston County Access Management Case Studies (Avon, Geneseo, and Mount Morris) are also available for review at the GTC Offices or at these communities’ public libraries.

Town of Perinton, Monroe County

The purpose of this study was to review existing transportation and land use conditions along Route 31 (Pittsford-Palmyra Road) between Turk Hill Road and the Wayne County border in the Town of Perinton, and then recommend alternatives for reducing congestion, improving transportation safety for all modes, and enhancing the corridor’s business and aesthetic environment.

For more detailed project information, the full Route 31/Hamlet of Egypt Land Use and Transportation Study Project Final Report is available in Adobe PDF by visiting Plans & Studies. Published copies of the Route 31/Hamlet of Egypt Land Use and Transportation Study Final Report are available for review at the GTC Offices or at the Fairport Public Library.

Towns of Irondequoit, Penfield, and Webster, Monroe County

This study examined the transportation concerns along the Route 404 corridor in the Towns of Irondequoit, Penfield, and Webster, and recommended various transportation and land use strategies which could be implemented by New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) with the cooperation of these local communities to improve safety and mobility for motorists, bicyclists, pedestrians, and transit users.

For more detailed information, published copies of the Route 404 Corridor Study Report are available for review at the GTC Offices or at the Irondequoit, Penfield, and Webster Town Libraries.

Towns of Penfield, Monroe County, and Towns of Marion and Walworth, Wayne County

This study examined the transportation concerns along Route 286, identified possible alternatives to address these concerns, and recommended various transportation and land use strategies which could be implemented by New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) with the cooperation of the local communities to improve the safety and mobility of the corridor.

For more detailed information, published copies of the Route 286 Corridor Study Report are available for review at the GTC Offices or at the Penfield, Marion, or Walworth Town Libraries.

Towns of Perinton, Monroe County

The purpose of this study was to review existing transportation and land use conditions along Route 31F (Fairport Road) between Baird Road and the Erie Canal in the Town of Perinton and then recommend alternatives for reducing congestion and accidents and improving the business and aesthetic environment of the corridor.

The project’s advisory committee developed the following study goals:

• Maximize pedestrian, patron, and vehicle movements throughout the corridor;

• Reduce congestion along the corridor by implementing access management techniques;

• Identify ways to visually enhance the roadway as a gateway to Perinton and the Village of Fairport; 

• Provide guidance for future development and capital improvement projects along the corridor.

For more detailed information, published copies of the Route 31F (Fairport Road) Corridor Study Report are available for review at the GTC Offices or at the Fairport Public Library.

Town and Village of Livonia, Livingston County

This plan details access management standards to be applied in the Town and Village of Livonia. The plan encourages development along new interior roadways as opposed to creating new access points along existing highway frontages; investigates the concept of a new north-south connector street; creates design standards for collector streets, and identifies way to increase bicycling and walking facilities. 

The plan also provides recommended access management regulations for inclusion in local zoning regulations. These regulations include general requirements, driveway spacing and design standards, corner clearance standards, signal and street spacing recommendations, and internal circulation recommendations. These proposed access management regulations have since been incorporated into both the Town and Village’s zoning regulations.

A copy of the Livonia Transportation and Access Management Plan document is available for review at the GTC Offices.
