WV 14 Traffic Operations and Safety Study
On October 7, 2008, the West Virginia Department of Transportation, Division of Highways held an Informational Workshop Public Meeting for the WV 14 Traffic Operations and Safety Study. The purpose of this meeting was to provide information and seek public input on the recommendations developed to meet the project's goals over the 20-year study period.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate current and future traffic conditions, identify potential deficiencies, and develop alternative improvements to enhance traffic flow and improve safety within the 2.86 mile study area along WV 14 (Murdoch Avenue/Grand Central Avenue). The study limits extend from the terminus of the one-way pair, just north of WV 68 in Parkersburg, to 28th Street in Vienna, Wood County.
Although many conceptual alternative solutions were investigated, the Public Meeting presented the Short-term (2010), Mid-term (2015 and 2020), and Long-term (2025) Recommended Improvements that appear to best address the traffic operations and safety issues within the study area. To improve the overall operations in the corridor, the alternatives focused on several key areas including access management, safety improvements and capacity improvements.
Comments on these solutions and their potential impacts are requested from the public to assist in the further study and development of the recommendations. Your input will help guide the study team as the project moves forward. Comments may be submitted online or on the comment sheet. All comments are due by November 7, 2008.
Feel free to download and review all docments presented at the public meeting.
