September 8, 2008

Existing Conditions• General Geometry and Layout• Speed and Safety Controls

– Bicycle and Pedestrian use– Intersection controls– Schools and crossings

• Trees and Landscaping– Leaning, overhanging branches, root intrusion

• Potable Water mains and services– Service replacements to new mains

• Sanitary Sewer Infrastructure– Lining and Replacement projects

• Storm Sewer Infrastructure– Reduction of Localized Flooding

• Pavement conditions– Utility trenching, edge erosion, uneveness

Existing Conditions• Woodland Pavement Resurfacing

– One of first 12 “macadamized” roads in Madison in 1900.– Loantaka to Green completely resurfaced in 2008.– Noe Ave east to Chatham Twp line curbs, drains, resurface in 1993.– Central section from Green to Noe has not been resurfaced in over 20

years, except for resurfacing done in areas affected by infrastructure replacement work.

– Due to length and overall cost, the central section will have two phases.

• Woodland Traffic conditions– Average Daily Trip counts are 7,200 and suitable for State Funding.– Many side streets can be better defined for vehicles and pedestrians.– Key intersections such as Samson Ave can be improved with grading,

geometry, accessible walks and improved visibility.– Inconsistent or unexpected changes in curvature, width and profile of

road occur which do not help driver, bicycle or pedestrian safety.– Consistent treatment of curbs, aprons, ramps, inlets, bikeway, crossings

and certain sidewalks will improve overall safety of users.

NJ Municipal Aid Application CY2009• NJDOT Funding sought June 20, 2008 as part of a phased

approach.• Consultant services for surveying, alternatives traffic calming

and final design.• Project Limit Station 45+50 Garfield and Dellwood area to

Station 75+50 Barnsdale Noe and Norman area.• Construction Cost Estimate = $536,000• Funding assistance possible = $225,000

Woodland Ave Design Proposal• Woodland Ave Overview

– Station 0+00 at Green Ave to Station 18+25 at Prospect Street– to Station 42+00 Garfield Ave– to Station 52+50 Samson Ave– to Station 71+50 Noe Ave– to Station 75+50 Barnsdale Rd

• The Phased Approach– Cost and funding limitations– Construction and traffic controls– Changing specific areas with public input– Potential for multiple funding rounds

• Key locations for discussion in Phase One– Garfield area– Dellwood area– Samson area– Noe Area– Barnsdale area

• Summary of Recommendations
