Vehicle-Enhanced Network (VEN)
The proposed Vehicle-Enhanced Network (VEN) will improve through movement of traffic on 79 miles of streets by prioritizing the efficient movement of motor vehicle occupants relative to other roadway users.
Potential enhancements include investments in intelligent transportation systems, access management and consolidation, parking restrictions and removal, improved signal timing, and turning restrictions.
Classification of Vehicular Enhancements
What is the Vehicle-Enhanced Network?
Vehicular enhancements are classified as moderate or comprehensive based on their benefits and intensity of implementation.
• Moderateenhancements typically include technology enhancements and peak hour restrictions for parking and turning movements.
• Comprehensiveenhancements include access management, all-day lane conversions of parking, and all-day turning movement restrictions or permanent access control.
*Additional characteristics of the vehicle-enhanced network are provided (see back page).

ModErAtE CoMprEhENsIVEParkiNg
Peak Period Restrictions uniform peak parking restrictions
Parking Lane Conversion added travel lanes through peak-period parking restrictions
Parking Removal strategic removal of on-street parking for added full-time lanes; may also need to provide centralized off-street parking program
Management expand ExpressPark to parking meter districts to minimize “cruising” for parking
accEss maNagEmENTMedians install raised medians (reduces left-turns in
and out of driveways and or minor streets)Access Consolidation consolidate driveways; for new developments, restrict driveways where side street or alley
access is available
CAPACiTy/FLoWIntersection Treatments strategically install roundabouts
install left-turn arrows at intersections of major/major
Turn Restrictions restrict turns at strategic intersections
Technology provide directional signal priority
upgrade all traffic signals to the Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS)
implement event and incident management strategies; install dynamic roadside signs to alert drivers of conditions
Lane Conversions install reversible lanes
