Concepts

  Preserve Open – Areas that are permanently protected from development (parkland)
  Reserve Open – Areas of steep slopes that are subject to development but should be protected.
  Restricted (floodplain) – Areas that are subject to development, but where development is
  restricted due to a high risk of flooding.
  Priority Growth – Areas where development should be encouraged. Includes growth in new
  areas and redevelopment within existing areas. Development should be consistent with the
  Principles (enhance the community’s vitality, provide for a greater mix of uses, improve mobility,
  expand housing choices, and attractive)
  Infill and Redevelopment – Existing developed areas where additional growth, consistent with
  the Principles is generally appropriate, but not a strategic priority.
  Controlled Growth – Developing areas, or currently undeveloped land where more growth is
  likely due to proximity to existing thoroughfares, infrastructure and adjacency to recent
  development. Growth in these areas generally expands the footprint of the urban area and
  should be controlled to minimize negative impacts.
  Limited Growth – All other areas of that are subject to development, but where increased
  intensity is generally not desired. These areas include both existing open space and existing
  development.
Conceptual Framework Map

 A visual representation of the Vision for growth
 Preliminarily based on:
 1. Results of Understanding Future Growth workshop
 2. Work with Comprehensive Plan Committees
Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop:
                    Redevelopment at higher intensities

Examples:
                                     Group                                          Group

                                      5                                              2




   • All of the groups placed at least half of their chips on areas with existing
     development
   • Many chips were stacked on specific sites that participants felt had
     redevelopment potential, indicating that development should occur at
     higher intensities.
Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop:
                            Infill Development

Examples:
                                   Group                                      Group

                                    4                                          2




 • Most of the groups placed development in undeveloped areas near existing
   development.
 • This infill pattern of development would plug holes in the urban fabric, placing
   development in areas already served by existing infrastructure, and allowing the
   urban area to expand in a contiguous pattern.
Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop:
              Greenfield development is limited and clustered

Examples:
                                  Group                                    Group

                                   3                                        2




 • Groups understood the difficulty in limiting all “greenfield” development.
 • Development happening in currently undeveloped areas should be both near
   existing development and/or clustered to “minimize sprawl” and “preserve
   open space” rather than occur in a haphazard “leap-frog” pattern.
Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop:
                    Very limited development in outlying areas

Examples:




 Group                         Group                          Group

  4                             3                              2


 • Groups allocated very limited growth for the surrounding region.
 • Some identified areas south, along I-79 as suitable for some development, while fewer
   placed development in the western part of the county.

                         Opportunities and
                           Constraints in
                              System
Roadways Characteristics

• Nearly 17% of roadway “arterials” are at, or over
  capacity with numerous “bottlenecks” in the
  system
• Many “substandard” roadways
    Steep grades
    Sharp turns/curves
    Narrow lane widths
    Narrow shoulder widths
Roadway Challenges

• Very difficult (costly) to widen existing or construct
  new roads due to limited right-of-way availability
  and the area’s topography
• Uncontrolled development patterns and lack of
  improvements to transportation infrastructure or
  access control over the years have lead to many
  capacity/safety problems
• Lack of local consensus has stymied past attempts
  to construct roadway/highway improvements
Automobile Traffic Characteristics

• Peak travel times and traffic operations are
  highly influenced by WVU schedule
• Travel patterns influenced by parking availability
  and locations
Primary Public Transit Service Providers

• Mountain Line Transit Authority
     Focus on the urban core with reach into the County
     Major service expansions are planned but not funded
• WVU
     Focus on shuttle service connecting campuses
     Operates PRT
        Excellent reliability record
        Undergoing maintenance and technology upgrades
        No plans/funding for expansion of system
Transit Characteristics

• Good transit service coverage in key populated
  areas
• Frequency of service is deficient in most areas
• Hours of day of service also deficient in most
  areas
• Lacks consistent stop locations with quality
  amenities and good pedestrian environments
Pedestrian System Characteristics

 Primarily sidewalks and multi-use trails
 Grade/topography a major concern
 Sidewalk coverage/connectivity deficient in most
 areas
 Narrow sidewalks adjacent to high speed traffic
 Lack of “safe” crosswalks
 Many existing sidewalks are substandard with
 utility poles and other impediments blocking the
 pathway
Pedestrian Safety

 1998 through 2008
   226 reported pedestrian injuries
   Consistently 20 to 25 pedestrian injuries per year
                     Leading pedestrian accident locations

Pedestrian Demand

 Local demographics lead to:
   Walking more prevalent in Morgantown than
   anywhere else in WV
   Significant demand for walking/running for exercise
   University connections to off-campus residential
   areas especially important
Bicycling Characteristics

 On-street travel:
    Narrow lanes and steep grades can make bicycling
    difficult on many roadways
    Few streets with paved shoulders
    No on-street bike lanes exist
    Steep side slopes and narrow rights-of-way make
    bike lane improvements difficult
    “Bikeable” routes exist (see Morgantown Bicycle
    Board’s “Commuter Map”)
Bicycling Characteristics

 Trails
    Excellent opportunities for cycling (recreational and
    commuting) on trails
    Nearly 10-miles of paved trails
      Caperton Trail
      Decker’s Creek Trail
    Many more miles of nature surface trails at City and
    County parks
Bicycling Characteristics

 Parking
    Numerous racks in City and WVU Campus
    Parking rings already added to several downtown
    parking meters with possibly more in the future
Freight

 Trucking
   Designated truck routes: I-68, I-79, US 119, US 19,
   WV 7, and CR 857
 Two Active Rail Lines
 Monongahela River
Air Travel

 Morgantown Municipal Airport (Hart Field)
    Commercial passenger travel available 7 days
    Private hangers

  • 36. Conceptual Framework Map Michael Insert final version
  • 37. Concepts Preserve Open – Areas that are permanently protected from development (parkland) Reserve Open – Areas of steep slopes that are subject to development but should be protected. Restricted (floodplain) – Areas that are subject to development, but where development is restricted due to a high risk of flooding. Priority Growth – Areas where development should be encouraged. Includes growth in new areas and redevelopment within existing areas. Development should be consistent with the Principles (enhance the community’s vitality, provide for a greater mix of uses, improve mobility, expand housing choices, and attractive) Infill and Redevelopment – Existing developed areas where additional growth, consistent with the Principles is generally appropriate, but not a strategic priority. Controlled Growth – Developing areas, or currently undeveloped land where more growth is likely due to proximity to existing thoroughfares, infrastructure and adjacency to recent development. Growth in these areas generally expands the footprint of the urban area and should be controlled to minimize negative impacts. Limited Growth – All other areas of that are subject to development, but where increased intensity is generally not desired. These areas include both existing open space and existing development.
  • 38. Conceptual Framework Map A visual representation of the Vision for growth Preliminarily based on: 1. Results of Understanding Future Growth workshop 2. Work with Comprehensive Plan Committees
  • 39. Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop: Redevelopment at higher intensities Examples: Group Group 5 2 • All of the groups placed at least half of their chips on areas with existing development • Many chips were stacked on specific sites that participants felt had redevelopment potential, indicating that development should occur at higher intensities.
  • 40. Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop: Infill Development Examples: Group Group 4 2 • Most of the groups placed development in undeveloped areas near existing development. • This infill pattern of development would plug holes in the urban fabric, placing development in areas already served by existing infrastructure, and allowing the urban area to expand in a contiguous pattern.
  • 41. Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop: Greenfield development is limited and clustered Examples: Group Group 3 2 • Groups understood the difficulty in limiting all “greenfield” development. • Development happening in currently undeveloped areas should be both near existing development and/or clustered to “minimize sprawl” and “preserve open space” rather than occur in a haphazard “leap-frog” pattern.
  • 42. Patterns we found in the Understanding Future Growth Workshop: Very limited development in outlying areas Examples: Group Group Group 4 3 2 • Groups allocated very limited growth for the surrounding region. • Some identified areas south, along I-79 as suitable for some development, while fewer placed development in the western part of the county.

  • 50. Current System Transportation Advisory Group It’s Time to Chart Our Future
  • 51. Improvement Ideas and Strategies Community’s Regional Vision Vision, Goals and for Growth Objectives Improvement Ideas and Strategies Opportunities and Constraints in System
  • 52. Roadways Characteristics • Nearly 17% of roadway “arterials” are at, or over capacity with numerous “bottlenecks” in the system • Many “substandard” roadways Steep grades Sharp turns/curves Narrow lane widths Narrow shoulder widths
  • 53. Roadway Challenges • Very difficult (costly) to widen existing or construct new roads due to limited right-of-way availability and the area’s topography • Uncontrolled development patterns and lack of improvements to transportation infrastructure or access control over the years have lead to many capacity/safety problems • Lack of local consensus has stymied past attempts to construct roadway/highway improvements
  • 54. Automobile Traffic Characteristics • Peak travel times and traffic operations are highly influenced by WVU schedule • Travel patterns influenced by parking availability and locations
  • 55. Primary Public Transit Service Providers • Mountain Line Transit Authority Focus on the urban core with reach into the County Major service expansions are planned but not funded • WVU Focus on shuttle service connecting campuses Operates PRT Excellent reliability record Undergoing maintenance and technology upgrades No plans/funding for expansion of system
  • 56. Transit Characteristics • Good transit service coverage in key populated areas • Frequency of service is deficient in most areas • Hours of day of service also deficient in most areas • Lacks consistent stop locations with quality amenities and good pedestrian environments
  • 57. Pedestrian System Characteristics Primarily sidewalks and multi-use trails Grade/topography a major concern Sidewalk coverage/connectivity deficient in most areas Narrow sidewalks adjacent to high speed traffic Lack of “safe” crosswalks Many existing sidewalks are substandard with utility poles and other impediments blocking the pathway
  • 58. Pedestrian Safety 1998 through 2008 226 reported pedestrian injuries Consistently 20 to 25 pedestrian injuries per year Leading pedestrian accident locations Spruce & Walnut (9) University/Beechurst/Fayette (5) High & Willey (8) Beechurst & Campus (5) S. University & Pleasant (8) Chestnut Ridge/Van Voorhis (5) University & College (8) High & Walnut (4) N. Willey & Prospect (7) High & Fayette (4) Spruce & Pleasant (5) University & Prospect (4) West Virginia University Injury Control Research Center January 1998 – June 2008
  • 59. Pedestrian Demand Local demographics lead to: Walking more prevalent in Morgantown than anywhere else in WV Significant demand for walking/running for exercise University connections to off-campus residential areas especially important
  • 60. Bicycling Characteristics On-street travel: Narrow lanes and steep grades can make bicycling difficult on many roadways Few streets with paved shoulders No on-street bike lanes exist Steep side slopes and narrow rights-of-way make bike lane improvements difficult “Bikeable” routes exist (see Morgantown Bicycle Board’s “Commuter Map”)
  • 61. Bicycling Characteristics Trails Excellent opportunities for cycling (recreational and commuting) on trails Nearly 10-miles of paved trails Caperton Trail Decker’s Creek Trail Many more miles of nature surface trails at City and County parks
  • 62. Bicycling Characteristics Parking Numerous racks in City and WVU Campus Parking rings already added to several downtown parking meters with possibly more in the future
  • 63. Freight Trucking Designated truck routes: I-68, I-79, US 119, US 19, WV 7, and CR 857 Two Active Rail Lines Monongahela River
