A professional Traffic Impact Analysis was completed for the Park Badger Redevelopment, including the new fire station, public health offices, and housing. The study evaluated current and future traffic conditions at key intersections during peak weekday hours.
Key Takeaways:
- All nearby intersections are expected to continue operating at acceptable levels of services (LOS D or better) during peak hours, even after both redevelopment phases are fully completed.
- The redevelopment project is expected to generate fewer than 200 new vehicle trips per peak hour, thanks in part to planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service and walkable access to local amenities.
- No traffic-related changes or improvements were determined to be needed beyond those already planned for the City’s new BRT system.
In short, the analysis determined that the neighborhood can comfortably handle the additional traffic and that no major traffic issues are expected.
I wasn’t able to attend the last community meeting – how can I see the presentation?
Those who were unable to attend the public meetings can view a recording of the virtual meeting here. A copy of the slides shown at both meetings can also be found here.
What are the next steps?
- The entitlement process is anticipated to begin in the coming month or so.
- Additional materials and updates will continue to be posted to this site.
- The project team continues to evaluate options and design elements.
- Community input will be shared with the City of Madison and incorporated into future planning phases.
We welcome ongoing participation and appreciate everyone who has taken time to attend meetings, ask questions, and share ideas.
