26 1. Traffic on most roadways in Greater Downtown Waco fall within a daily traffic of 2,500 to 10,000. The exception areas include parts of 17th Street, South University Parks Blvd and Loop 484, each recording between 10,000 and 20,000 vehicles per day. Summary: Key Issues/ Challenges 2. One-way traffic flow design is confusing in areas of the downtown due to complex changing from one-way to two-way, especially for those unfamiliar with the downtown area. The one-way patterns require drivers to make circuitous navigation to their destination. 3. The one-way traffic patterns detract from the pedestrian and bicycle environment by inducing traffic to travel at higher speeds in the same direction. 4. The one-way to two-way existing street transitions are awkward with atypical one-way street spacing b/t the one-way couplet sts. 5. Pedestrian facilities are lacking on the east side of Greater Downtown Waco. Existing sidewalks within the urban core need upgraded. 6. Sufficient parking is available in Greater Downtown Waco; however signage to Free Parking is inadequate, which may lead to the perception of no parking available in the busier corridors. 7. The general bicycle environment some bicycle facilities, one-way streets, and wide street cross sections is uninviting for casual bicyclists, resulting in limited use of bicycles downtown or bicyclists using the sidewalk. 8. Larger block size in the outer areas of Greater Downtown Waco limit the number of paths pedestrians and bicyclists have in downtown, potentially contributing to longer travel times. 9. The Brazos River is a barrier from between east and west sides of Greater Downtown Waco. 10. There is inadequate wayfinding signage for vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. 11. The majority of WTS bus stops are not signed, making it difficult for pedestrians to know where to catch the bus in some areas of downtown. 12. The street network must be capable of supporting Baylor University special events. 13. The uses planned for Greater Downtown Waco require good pedestrian facilities, both within the core areas and connecting to other portions of the downtown. 14. Existing WTS transit service is every 60 minutes, which does not provide frequent service to attract riders with other vehicle options. 15. WTS Route 7 East Waco has a unique nomenclature using (Route 7 East Waco (even) and Route 7 East Waco (odd), which is not easily understood and should be revisited. 26
27 Many opportunities for solutions 1. Land use undergoing shift to vibrant, walkable, livable community planned for the future. Successful examples such as Brazos Commons, the new Baylor stadium, Heritage Quarters, and Tinsley Place are setting the stage for new developers. 2. Current downtown infrastructure will support increased mobility for all modes, including roadway, bicycle, pedestrian and transit. Right-of-way constraints are not generally prevalent in the downtown area and will work in the favor of implementing new designs to accommodate all modes. 3. The existing WTS transit service operates at 60 minute headways. To encourage more citizens and visitors to use WTS, frequent and convenient service must operate to/from primary activity centers. 4. Roadway capacity and traffic volumes on adjacent streets to the existing one-way corridors support the conversion from one-way to two-way conversions. 5. The core urban area enjoys good quality sidewalks with 12 foot widths, access ramps, good connectivity, and a generally pleasant environment with decorative brick treatments, landscaping, and shade. 6. Sidewalk compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is an issue in which the City is addressing, as evidenced by the many textured and colored access ramps having been retrofitted to sidewalks throughout the urban core. Other ADA requirements such as width, continuity, cross-slope, and access to storefronts should also be examined in detail. As designated WTS bus stops are implemented to supplement the existing flag stop system, they must be fully ADA compliant. 7. The general lack of sidewalks on the east side of downtown Waco is evident. There is opportunity within the infrastructure to address these connections and to ensure all new facilities would be compliant with the ADA. 8. Bicycle travel is accommodated in the current downtown area, but currently not widely visible. The grid street system provides convenient alternate paths so that riders can choose routes with less auto traffic. Challenges to the bicycle system will increase as the downtown develops and traffic volumes become more intense. Additional bicycle lanes between common destinations will be necessary to maintain the downtown area s current pleasant and friendly feel. Extending the existing bicycle lanes to connect to the Baylor campus would also be beneficial. Bicycle racks and bicycle stations should be implemented to allow users to secure their bikes while still leaving plenty of sidewalk space for pedestrians. These amenities support the goals of increased bicycle use. 27
28 Many opportunities for solutions 9. Wayfinding is important for all visitors to the downtown area for all transportation modes. Visitors need to be able to have confidence in the directions and distances of travel to activity centers and to convenient parking. The implementation of a consistent and convenient wayfinding system which conforms to the existing pleasant feel of Greater Downtown Waco is needed for the future. 10. Parking occupancy is relatively low for the downtown area. However, parking at particular activity centers, such as the shops on Franklin Ave and Austin Ave., anticipated parking near the Brazos Commons development, and for game days around the new Baylor McLane stadium may pose future challenges. Many surface parking lots are present in downtown, which could be used as shared lots. Parking demand for retail, restaurant, and church uses each have peaks at different times or days of the week. As the downtown develops and as parking in specific areas becomes more constrained, formal agreements to share parking at specific times, and to clearly post those times, will address future parking challenges. 11. Safety is an issue of perception as well as of physical attributes. Street lighting, safely marked pathways, streetscape environment, and bright storefronts also contribute to the sense of safety. 28

31 Questions for Discussion: What transportation components would you like to see in DT Waco within the next 10 years? What 2 things could we change/enhance connectivity in downtown? Do you believe there is community and political support to increase public transit in the Waco community? What local funding sources are realistic to help fund more services? What are the top 3 bicycle/pedestrian improvements needed in the DT area? Do you believe turning the 1-way streets to 2-way would improve connectivity in the DT area? THANK YOU!
