• Abstract:
  Land development that is not coordinated with transportation planning can compromise the performance ; of Washington’s state routes. Identifying land at risk for development along state routes can provide ; opportunities for proactive, collaborative planning to improve access, mobility, and safety while supporting ; economic development. This project, described in two parts, provides tools to help turn adverse risks of land ; development into opportunities to make route improvements. ; In part one, systems for identifying land at risk for development were developed for the state and local ; levels from relevant literature and expert input. Risk factors for land development at the state level include ; historic population and job growth, population and job forecasts, and traffic conditions. Additional risk factors at ; the local level include regulatory constraints, critical areas, vacant and undeveloped lands, recent sales history, ; building permit history, and sewer and water utilities. The local level system was applied to three case study ; areas. Results generally agreed with local knowledge, yet the method offered an objective and systematic means ; for comparing corridors across the state fairly. ; In part two, a menu of strategies for responsibly developing state routes was developed from current ; WSDOT practices, literature on standard approaches, and reports of novel solutions. Strategies were classified as ; planning and coordination activities, non-engineering and engineering strategies, and funding/enforcement ; strategies.
