1 NY Route 5 Comprehensive Pedestrian Safety Study: A Corridor Perspective CDTC Planning Committee January 7, 2015
2 Project Objective Study Scope: Perform an analysis of pedestrian related accidents, An engineering assessment of existing infrastructure related to pedestrian safety. Develop planning level recommendations that, upon implementation, will help to improve pedestrian safety along this highly traveled corridor. Form a comprehensive pedestrian safety plan for the Route 5 corridor through a combination of the Three E s : Education Enforcement Engineering The data collection, analysis, and suggested countermeasures were conducted and developed to support the Education, Enforcement, and Engineering components of the study.

48 Schedule Short Term (within 1 year) Push Buttons Install responsive push buttons where push buttons are not present, where pedestrian accommodations are added, or where they were not identified under Immediate suggestions. This includes elevator and talking style push buttons. Traffic Signal Replacement The existing traffic signal at Brandywine Avenue will be replaced in order to incorporate the pedestrian accommodations and related timing changes. Raised Median A raised median barrier with a fence should be considered at Colonie Center to discourage the observed mid block crossing trend. A crosswalk with full pedestrian accommodations is also proposed on the eastern side of the raised median.
