Synopsis

Excerpt from Valdese, Rutherford College, Connelly Springs: Thoroughfare Plan; April, 2001

The objective of thoroughfare planning is to enable the transportation network to be progressively developed to adequately meet the transportation needs of a community or region as land develops and traffic volumes increase. By not planning now for our future transportation needs, unnecessary costs to the physical, social, and economic environment may very well be incurred. Thoroughfare planning is a too] that can be used by local officials to plan for future transportation needs, while at the same time reducing the costs to our environment.

The primary purpose of this report is to present the findings and recommendations of the thoroughfare plan study conducted for the Towns of Valdese, Rutherford College, and Connelly Springs. The secondary purpose of this report is to document the basic thoroughfare planning principles and procedures used in developing these recommendations. This report can be divided into five parts. The first part of the report, Chapter 1, gives the highlights of the study. Chapters 2 and 3 provide a detailed description of the thoroughfare plan study recommendations and address different methods by which these recommendations can be implemented. The next chapter, Chapter 4, covers study procedures and findings. Chapters 5 and 6 provide a detailed description of population, land use and environmental concerns that were looked at while developing this plan. The final chapter, Chapter 7, covers traffic model development.

Information that will be especially useful to the practitioners is provided in the Appendices. The principles of thoroughfare planning are covered in Appendix A, a detailed tabulation of all routes on the Thoroughfare Plan and a graphical representation of typical cross-sections can be found in Appendix B and C respectively.
