Abstract:

The objective of this four-year research effort was to develop and test a methodology to estimate the economic impacts of median design. This report summarizes the activities and results for the entire four-year project. The primary task in the fourth year of the study was to collect post-construction data on the Texas Avenue corridor in College Station, Texas. The research team also collected customer survey information at five business types at the College Station corridor and performed interviews at several locations in Amarillo, Texas, where the raised median was removed. Final analyses on the entire eight-city data set from throughout Texas were performed in the final year of the study. The results of this research effort will provide insight to planners, engineers, and researchers investigating the economic impacts of raised median projects. This information is expected to be especially useful in communicating potential economic impacts to business and property owners prior to construction.
