What is a Corridor Plan?
A Corridor Plan is a plan to integrate transportation needs with character and aesthetic concerns.
What issues should a Corridor Plan address?
A corridor plan provides localized recommendations for development of parcels of land. It compliments a Comprehensive Plan by providing more specific recommendations on how to implement general goals at a smaller scale level. Specific issues include:
Land Use:
- Provides localized recommendations for land use of parcels.
- Allows compatible land uses to be planned at interchanges - and a variety of uses to be appropriately spread throughout the corridor.
- Provides recommendations on how development should be considered with knowledge of future transportation changes.
- Reflects a community consensus
Access Management:
- Establishes a plan for access roads, frontage roads, greenways and secondary corridors to compliment the primary corridor.
- Provides for traffic safety through appropriate roadway and drive planning.
Infrastructure and Utilities:
- Establishes a plan for development of appropriate uses based on utility availability.
Environment:
- Advance planning allows the protection of environmentally sensitive areas such as floodplains, forests and other habitat.
Aethetics and Character:
- Establishes appearance expectations for public roads and infrastructure.
- Establishes appearance expectations for development of neighboring private property (lighting, pedestrian amenities, signage, landscape).
