Introduction

Over the past several years, the Town of Queensbury has worked steadily to improve conditions for cyclists and pedestrians. This has involved designating bike routes, constructing trails, and training local officials in the principles of Complete Streets. As part of this effort, the Town of Queensbury reached out to the Adirondack/Glens Falls Transportation Council (A/GFTC) for assistance in creating a conceptual plan for future trail connections in West Queensbury, from the southern terminus of the planned Halfway Brook trail to the Hudson Pointe preserve along the Hudson River. This north-south connection has long been noted as a priority in local and regional planning efforts.

The intent of this plan is to document existing conditions, compare potential alternative alignments for an on- or off-road connection, and document order-of-magnitude costs for a preferred concept. This has been completed with the assistance of Alta Planning + Design and Creighton Manning Engineering, as well as the guidance of a steering committee of stakeholders and the general public. This plan will provide the framework to allow the Town to pursue funding for implementation in a future phase of project development.

Please note that for the purposes of this plan, the term “trail” refers to the proposed bicycle/pedestrian connection as a whole, which may be made up of a variety of on- and off-road facilities. See page 2 for examples.

The first step in identifying a trail alignment is to understand the conditions and features that may affect the viability of a trail. To facilitate this, a GIS analysis was performed, in which several factors were mapped, including regional connections, existing bike/ped features, topography and environmental features, vacant and developed land, traffic volumes/speeds, and crash history.

Existing Conditions

The study area is located in the southwest portion of the Town of Queensbury, within Warren County, New York. The Regional Map shows the study area and the surrounding trails and bicycle routes throughout the region. As the map indicates, there is a lack of dedicated bicycle/pedestrian facilities within the study area. However, there are potential connections to the Rush Pond/Halfway Brook trail system in the north and the Feeder Canal Trail to the east, which in turn connects to the Warren County Bikeway, an important regional facility.

The existing trails and designated bike routes in the study area are documented in the map to the left. This includes the proposed Halfway Brook Trail (still under development), town designated bicycle routes, and the priority bicycle network and pedestrian areas identified by the A/GFTC Regional Bicycle and Pedestrian Plan. Although the study area contains designated bicycle routes, these roadways do not have dedicated bicycle lanes; cyclists and pedestrians use the road shoulders (where available) or share space with vehicular traffic. In addition, the road network is not conducive to north-south travel; there is no easily-identifiable way to get from Peggy Ann road to Corinth Road without crossing private property or traveling miles to the east or west.

Elevation and slope of the topography in the study area is an important consideration, as steep slopes can inhibit trail development. The elevation within the study area ranges from 284 feet to 502 feet, as shown in the map to the left. For the most part, the study area has flat-to-moderate slopes. However, the steep slopes south of Corinth Road where Clendon Brook meets the Hudson pose a challenge. There are existing trails in this vicinity, including a small bridge over the brook; however these facilities do not meet contemporary standards for access.

In terms of environmental features, there are limited amounts of wetland areas along Clendon Brook, as well as an isolated wetland between Michaels Drive and Richmond Hill Road. Neither of these wetlands areas are anticipated to directly impact any of the proposed trail alignments; however, as detailed design is undertaken, further analysis of wetlands should be undertaken if needed. In addition, previous environmental analyses have indicated the probable presence of Karner Blue Butterfly habitat in the study area. This should also be taken into account as part of the design process.

Property that is predominantly undeveloped (currently void of a commercial or residential building) can offer opportunity for integrating pedestrian and bicycle accommodations in site planning ahead of development. Some of these properties may already be in conservation and undeveloped in order to serve another purpose or remain in a natural state. There are also large parcels which are publicly owned. These lots, owned by the Town of Queensbury, the City of Glens Falls, and the Queensbury Land Conservancy, represent opportunities for off-road or expanded on-road facilities.

The average annual daily traffic (AADT) indicates the average traffic volumes on the roadway in a 24-hour period. It is important to consider the AADT of roadways when planning on-road bicycling and walking routes, as people tend to be more comfortable using on-road bicycling and walking facilities located on lower-volume roadways rather than higher volume roadways. This data is collected by the New York State Department of Transportation; the most recent AADT data available for this area was gathered in 2015. Map 6 shows the AADT for all recorded roadways within the study area.

Corinth Road has the highest traffic volume within the study area, reaching over 8700 cars per day in certain sections. Upper Sherman also experiences traffic volumes of over 5000 cars per day, with about 3600 cars per day on Luzerne Road. Although current traffic counts are not available for Peggy Ann Road, A/GFTC staff estimates traffic volumes of between 3000-4000 cars per day, based on historic counts.

For the most part, the neighborhood streets and roadways have a speed limit of 30 mph. However, the major east-west roads (Peggy Ann, Upper Sherman, Luzerne, and Corinth) have speed limits of 40-45 mph. The higher speed limit can affect the comfort and safety of cyclists and pedestrians, and is a factor to consider when selecting a trail alignment.

Crash data was analyzed for the five years of crashes reported in the region from the beginning of April 2012 through the end of March 2017. This dataset includes multiple types of vehicle crashes. Especially important to this particular study are the crashes between vehicles and bicyclists and pedestrians. There are two crashes with bicyclists (noted by the yellow points on the map), one in July 2012 and one in June 2014, and each was located at an intersection. The 2012 crash occurred at the intersection of Corinth Road and Rhode Island Avenue and the 2014 crash was located at the intersection of Luzerne Road and Indiana Avenue. The pedestrian collision (noted by the blue point on the map) occurred in February 2017 on Minnesota Avenue. These isolated incidents do not indicate an easily identifiable pattern of bicycle or pedestrian crashes.

Analysis of Alternatives

In attempting to identify the best possible location for a north-south connection, several ideas were put forth. The overall goal of creating a trail is to provide access, both to the trail itself, and to the destinations along the trail. Of the initial trail alignments, the concept of an on-road connection along the western edge of the project site, utilizing Peggy Ann and West Mountain roads, was rejected as not warranting further discussion. This concept was determined to not meet the goals of the project, in that it was too far removed from many of the neighborhoods in the study area to provide meaningful access, especially for pedestrians.

From the initial discussions, the four remaining alternatives were put forth, shown at left. These include:

Utility Line Corridor (2.96 miles, off-road)
Clendon Brook (3.62 miles, on- and off-road)
East Side (4.71 miles, on- and off-road)
Burnt Hills (4.1 miles, on- and off-road)

Each option is described in greater detail on the following pages.

Utility Line Corridor

The majority of this trail alternative is off-road. The northern terminus of this alignment is at the proposed Halfway Brook trailhead on Peggy Ann Road. From there, the trail would travel east along the north side of Peggy Ann for approximately ¼ mile as a shared use path, separated from the roadway. At the National Grid utility line, the trail would head south, following the utility corridor all the way to the Hudson Pointe Nature Preserve. There is a significant topographic challenge in crossing Clendon Brook within the utility line corridor. Alternately, the trail could break away from the utility corridor as it passes through the Clendon Brook Preserve, following a meandering path through the open space preserves as it crosses Clendon Brook at the existing bridge deck.

Clendon Brook

This option includes a combination of on- and off-road facilities. From the Halfway Brook trailhead, this trail travels west along the north side of Peggy Ann for approximately 1/3 mile, turning south on Quail Run/Lambert Drive and transitioning to a bike boulevard. At Upper Sherman, the trail heads east, transitioning to bike lanes/shoulders and sidewalks. The trail then follows Richmond Hill Drive as a bike boulevard or a shared-use path. At the southern end of Richmond Hill, private easements would be required to make the connection to cross Luzerne Road. The trail then continues south along Van Dusen Road as bike lanes and sidewalks. Crossing Corinth Road, the trail jogs west as a shared use path for a few hundred feet, then utilizes existing and proposed trails in the Clendon Brook Preserve. The crossing and trail alignment at Corinth Road would require easement(s), enhanced crossing signage, and possible re-grading of the road shoulder to allow room for a trail. As with option 1, the crossing of Clendon Brook poses a topographic challenge; however, it may be possible to improve the existing bike/ped bridge to bring the facility up to contemporary standards for access.

East Side

From the Halfway Brook trailhead, this trail travels east as a shared use path along the north side of Peggy Ann for just under 1 mile before turning south along the National Grid utility corridor. The trail continues off-road, crossing Upper Sherman and Luzerne roads. The trail would then continue west along East and Central Avenues, turning south at Michigan Avenue. The on-road portions of the trail in this section would be bike boulevards or yield roadways. Utilizing Warren County property, the trail would transition to a shared use path, cross Corinth Road, then continue within the rights-of-way of Carey and Native roads as shared use paths. The trail would then cross into open spaces in the Big Bay preserve, following existing and proposed trails to Hudson Pointe. As with Option 2, the Clendon Brook crossing is anticipated to be accomplished by improving the existing bike/ped bridge, to bring the facility up to contemporary standards for access.

Burnt Hills

From the Halfway Brook trailhead, this trail travels east along the north side of Peggy Ann for about half a mile before turning south and utilizing the trails and open space associated with the Queen Victoria’s Grant development, which would likely require an easement and potentially approval of the Homeowner’s Association. Another private easement would be required to make the connection to Upper Sherman road. The trail then travels east to Kylian’s Way, following the roadway south to Burnt Hills Drive. The trail crosses Luzerne Road near Pinewood Road, which has limited sight distance and may require additional engineering consideration. Alternately, the trail could continue along the east side of the residences on Pinewood, which would require private easements. At Corinth Road, the trail jogs to the east, then turns south on Carey Road. As with Option 3, the trail continues within the rights-of-way of Carey and Native roads. The trail would then cross into open spaces in the Big Bay preserve, following existing and proposed trails to Hudson Pointe. As with Option 2 and 3, the Clendon Brook crossing is anticipated to be accomplished by improving the existing bike/ped bridge, to bring the facility up to contemporary standards for access.

Selection of Preferred Alternative

To enable the Town to make an informed choice between the conceptual alignments, a series of criteria were developed in collaboration with the Steering Committee. These represent the complexity concerning trail development and broadly include the consideration of topography, traffic volumes and conflicts, crossings, environmental impacts, cultural and economic resources, as well as site control and acquisition. Specifically, the Steering Committee sought to incorporate the following: ease of use, safety, exposure to motorized traffic (especially at higher speeds), cost, winter use, and environmental engineering issues such as stormwater and drainage. While not all of these are explicitly analyzed, they are integrated into the larger concepts detailed at left.

The decision to select one alignment is not merely a matter of assigning ratings and rankings to objective criteria. The evaluation matrix is an important tool to clarify consideration factors, but not all factors are of equal importance to the community. For example, it may be more important to provide access to neighborhoods and destinations than to select the alignment which is easiest to build. In addition, some of the factors influencing the criteria rankings can be mitigated through careful engineering and design.
Based on the criteria, the consensus of the Steering Committee was that the Utility Line alternative was the preferred alignment. There was also a preference expressed by Town representatives for the East Side alternative, due to the connections to destinations such as the West End Park, Rocksport Indoor Climbing Gym and Adirondack Sports Complex. In addition, this alternative offers strong potential for future connections to the Feeder Canal Trail.

Although the input of the Steering Committee is important, it is crucial to select an alternative supported by the community. An alternative may look suitable on paper, but may have hidden drawbacks that are not apparent through objective analysis. After all, bicycle and pedestrian facilities are meant to be used. By providing a thorough public outreach process, the Town can be more confident that the selected alternative will e enjoyed by the community.

A public meeting was held in December 2017. The meeting was well attended, with approximately 40-50 Queensbury residents and interested individuals. After a brief presentation on the project area and proposed alignments, attendees were asked to vote for their first and second choices for the trail. In addition, steering committee members and staff were present to answer questions. The vote tally is shown at left.

As can be seen from the results of the voting, the Utility Line alternative had the most support from attendees. In addition, there was strong support for the East Side alignment, as well as a moderate support for the Clendon Brook alternative as a “back-up”. The Burnt Hills option was the least popular.
There was clear consensus between public opinion and the Steering Committee. It is important to note that both the Utility Line and East Side options are dependent on securing access rights from National Grid, as discussed further in the Implementation section of this plan. In terms of selecting the preferred alignment, the Steering Committee opted to combine both the Utility Line and East Side alignments in a phased approach, also discussed in more detail in the Implementation section.

Implementation

There are many factors to consider before undertaking design and construction of the preferred trail. These include right-of-way acquisition, operation & maintenance, engineering considerations, cost, and phasing. Each of these is discussed in greater detail in this section of the plan. In addition, a list of potential funding sources and next steps has been included to further facilitate implementation.

Right-of-Way Acquisition

Before a trail can be designed and constructed, the Town of Queensbury must secure the rights to access the land. For the sections of trail that are located along a public roadway, this is likely to be straightforward, as the land is owned by either the Town itself or Warren County, which will likely grant access with proper permitting and maintenance agreements. Similarly, the sections of trail along the Hudson River are also located in publicly owned parcels. However, the majority of the off-road portions of the preferred alignment is located along National Grid utility corridors.

Each utility company has a different policy regarding providing access for trail construction along their property. There are considerations for liability and maintenance, as well as ensuring future access for equipment maintenance. Historically, National Grid has required a full set of design documents before granting an easement for trail construction. This approach allows the company to fully vet all aspects of the proposed trail ahead of time. However, this poses a difficulty for local municipalities, since transportation funding often bundles design and construction as one package. In addition, most grant sources require that an applicant demonstrate site control before funding will be given out. Given that trail design can cost tens of thousands of dollars, not many local agencies can afford to design a trail without receiving grant funding.

Recently, National Grid has struck an agreement with the Hudson Valley Greenway to provide access for the Empire State Trail. This long-term lease agreement was granted before detailed design was completed. As a condition of the agreement, National Grid will be involved in the design process. The agreement also calls for conditions relating to the trail specifications and other factors.

It is important to note that there is no guarantee that National Grid would be willing to enter into a similar agreement with the Town of Queensbury. It is recommended that the Town ensure that similar conditions can be met when reaching out to National Grid concerning access.

Operation and Maintenance

A crucial consideration regarding the development of this trail is which agency will be responsible for ongoing operations and maintenance. As this plan was undertaken on behalf of the Town of Queensbury, it would be reasonable to identify the municipality as a potential trail owner, especially as the Town already owns and maintains trails. However, there are other groups which could take on this responsibility as well. These include Warren County, which currently owns and maintains the Warren County Bikeway, or a not-for-profit group, such as the Feeder Canal Alliance. Another option is for the Town to create a formal partnership with another organization for aspects of the maintenance while retaining primary ownership of the trail. It is important to keep in mind that much of the trail is dependent on securing access to National Grid utility corridors, as noted previously. A Trail Maintenance Agreement is likely to be required for all parties involved in the operation of the trail, including third-party organizations.

Trail Maintenance Considerations & Cost

The ongoing maintenance of the trail will have an associated cost. It is difficult to predict the exact amount; however, according to the Maintenance Practices and Costs of Rail-Trails report issued in 2015 by the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, trail maintenance can average about $1,000/year/mile for non-asphalt surface trails, and about $2,000/year/mile for asphalt surfaces.

The exact cost is likely to fluctuate from year to year. In addition, stone dust trails are likely to require less expensive, but more frequent, maintenance activities, as they are subject to more immediate effects of erosion and vegetative encroachment. Asphalt paths, conversely, may require significant resurfacing or repair every few years. In addition to trail surface, other factors which influence maintenance costs include:

  • The availability of volunteer labor
  • Mowing and vegetative clearing
  • Litter clean-up
  • Maintenance of signs and pavement markings

Some of these factors will depend on trail design, while others will be affected by weather and human behavior.

Phasing

As stated in the previous section, the Town has expressed interest in pursuing a phased implementation approach, whereby the Utility Line and East Side alternatives could be combined. There are several ways the Town could phase the project; one option is detailed below.

Phase 1: Pursue ROW, design, and construction of the trail sections located along utility corridors. As both the Utility Line and East Side trails are dependent on National Grid owned parcels, it makes sense to bundle these sections into one phase. The longer, western section of trail effectively accomplishes much of the stated goal of the project, which is to connect the Halfway Brook Trail and Hudson Pointe Nature Preserve. Although it may seem counter-intuitive to construct an isolated section of trail in the eastern portion of the project area, this short length provides crucial connections between the Hidden Hills, Lupine/Arbutus, and State Avenue neighborhoods and the Adirondack Sports Complex and West End Park. The conceptual cost estimate for this phase is $2.7m.

Phase 2: Pursue ROW, design, and construction of the Peggy Ann section. This section of trail is largely dependent on publicly-owned land. Although there are some topographic challenges in the eastern section of the trail, for the most part this shared path would be a straightforward construction project, as the area is largely undeveloped. Theoretically, if the Town of Queensbury and City of Glens Falls were to collaborate and construct portions of the trail using in-kind labor, this section could be used as a match in grant applications. The conceptual cost estimate for this phase is $0.9 m.

Phase 3: Pursue ROW, design, and construction of the southern loop connection. Much of this section of trail is located in the Hudson Pointe and Big Bay Preserve areas, which contain existing trails and are public lands. The on-road portions of the trail are anticipated to be located within the public ROW, however, a proper survey and detailed design are required. As with any on-road bicycle/pedestrian facility, the design phase may uncover hidden pitfalls (such as utility relocation or minor ROW requirements) that could slow the process. The conceptual cost estimate for this phase is $1.7m.

The preferred trail alignment was reviewed by engineers at Creighton Manning as a way to highlight considerations for design and construction. This review was intended only to flag potential issues which may need further study during the design phase. For copies of the detailed cost estimates and engineering review memos, see the pdf version of the plan.

Rural Mobility Study Final Report

Introduction
This report presents the results of the Rural Transportation Needs Assessment
and Options Analysis . The first task consisted of an inventory of transportation
resources in the rural area in Washington, Warren and northern Saratoga
counties surrounding the Glens Falls metropolitan area. The second task
identified the transportation challenges facing resid ents of this area and
quantified the mobility needs based on demographic analysis of the region. The
third task produced a set of alternatives for addressing those needs and the
fourth task consisted of public outreach and a survey to gather input on the
findings of the study.
While social service agency clients and other transportation -disadvantaged
individuals (older adults, people with disabilities, low -income families) constitute
much of the population that faces m obility challenges in the study region, the
study is not restricted to them. It also includes consideration of working-age
people with no disabilities and moderate income who may, nonetheless, face
mobility challenges or be one unlucky break away from facing serious hardship.
While it is far b eyond the scope of this study to solve the economic challenges
facing rural upstate New York, identifying the relationship between trends in the
employment landscape and mobility is crucial to understanding the feasibility of
potential improvements in transportation access in rural areas.
Inventory of Existing Services
The study was intended to assess gaps in rural transportation for the entire
population. Some of the transportation services listed below are available only to
certain segments of the populat ion. Since non- driving populations are by default
most vulnerable to the need for transportation, this inventory attempts to catalog
the existing services. Hence, the limitations of the systems are listed in terms of
trip purpose, trip length, timing, etc. By showing which services are provided,
this plan attempts to highlight the gaps in services that are missing.
The first step in building the inventory of existing services was assembling the list
of agencies to contact. A/GFTC provided lists of agencies that had been involved
with the Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan (latest update 2014)
and requests for funding from the federal section 5310 (Elders and Persons with
Disabilities) program. The consultant team augmented this list with a few ot her
organizations that were found through Internet searches and recommendations
from other agencies .
The next step was to develop a series of questions to ask the agencies during
telephone interviews. The questions covered details about transportation serv ices

that the agencies operated or contracted for, as well as information about
transportation needs among their client populations. In this way, the interview
served as both a means to assemble the inventory as well as stakeholder outreach
regarding unmet needs.
The following sections present the results of the inventory. Greater Glens Falls
Transit is included for the sake of completeness, even though the urban area
where its service operates is not the focus of the study.
Greater Glens Falls Transit
GGFT began operation in 1984 through a collaborative agreement among 11
contiguous municipalities . Today it operates a fleet of 18 transit vehicles and
carries over 350,000 riders a year primarily in the census defined Glens Falls
urban area which stretch es across portions of Warren, Washington and northern
Saratoga counties from Lake George ( and Bolton Landing in the summer) south
to the Towns of Moreau and Fort Edward . Its sole mission is transportation and
has an annual operating budget of $1.8 million . Year -round service operates from
6:30am through 10:00pm Monday through Friday with a somewhat more limited
schedule on Saturdays. GGFT also operates a significant summer season trolley
bus s ervice between the Bolton Landing/Lake George area and Glens Falls seven
days a week from 8:00am through 10:45pm from late June through Labor Day
( and on weekends in spring and Fall). See Figure 1 for a map of GGFT bus routes.
The service level varies by route, with headways 30 minutes along a principal
main north-south travel corridor that includes US Rte 4 in Fort Edward north
along Rt 32 and US Rt 9 to Queensbury. Less frequent hourly and feeder routes
extend this corridor to Lake George and additional point s west and south to
Moreau. Summer trolley service operates along Rt 9 and 9N at 15 -30 minute
intervals. GGFT also operates ADA complementary paratransit service, called
FAME.
Over the years in general, GGFT has periodically studied and considered various
types of scheduled transit services in more rural portions of the area but has
consistently found insufficient demand to justify the local financial support to
make them feasible. The only exception to this has been its summer service along
the west shore of Lake George to Bolton La nding. This summer operation to
Bolton Landing runs every two hours and carries approximately 2,500 riders per
season. In 2014 GGFT did try extending the Bolton Landing operating season in
the spring and fall but found very limited passenger demand and dis continued
the service. Other rural service attempts include: a shuttle connection between
Lake George and Warrensburg/Thurman to connect to a scenic train in 2015 but
here also found very limited passenger demand and subsequent ly could not
justify necessar y local funding to support continued operation; and many years
ago (1990’s) GGFT ran a local shuttle in and around the Village of Whitehall but
here again found the passenger demand to be very limited and the service was
discontinued.

Non-profit and Social Service Agencies
Of the 24 non -profit organizations on the contact list, the consultant team was
able to conduct interviews with and obtain information from 15. The other
organizations were non -responsive in spite of multiple attempts via telephone
and email. The results of the interviews are presented below and summarized in
Table 1.
The largest transportation resource among the non -profit and social service
agencies belongs to CWI (Community, Work and Independence). This agency
owns five large buses and 16 cutaway vans based on a Ford F450 chassis. These
vehicles transport individuals to CWI’s many facilities for its day programs
covering a wide range of services. It also owns a fleet of sedans and minivans for
its resident program . W hile much of its service is operated in the urban area,
CWI’s reach does cover the rural portions of the A/GFTC region as well. Its
vehicles operate primarily between 6:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. and then between
1:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. to transport clients to and from the day programs. CWI
employs 23 full -time drivers and resident employees drive the smaller vehicles as
needed. Annual funding, consisting of state and federal funds, amounts to about
$1 million. The transit vehicles carry an average of 486 rider s per day, with
annual ridership of 107,000. CWI serves all ages, from youth to elderly , as well as
low -income individuals.
The next largest operation surveyed is the Fort Hudson Nursing Center . It
owns seven wheelchair -accessible vans, which operate primarily between 7:00
a.m. and 9:00 a.m. and then between 2:00 p.m. and 5:30 p.m. These are
operated by 6 part -time drivers. Half of the funding comes from the federal
section 5310 program administered by NYSDOT and the other half comes from
internal sources. Total annual funding is roughly $150,000, serving an annual
ridership of about 20,000 passengers. The vehicles can operate within a 15 -mile
radius of the facility , meaning that much of the service occurs within the urban
area. The passengers are mostly Medicaid -eligible and fit within the guidelines of
the 5310 program . Riders are carried to and from adult day programs at the
facility, and residents are transported to medical appointments, to grocery stores,
and to social activities.
The third largest operation interviewed is the Liberty House Foundation ,
which primarily serves mentally ill and developmentally disabled people. It owns
five vans, four with a capacity of 12 passengers and one with a capacity of 8
passengers. A total of e ight drivers are employed. Funding is derived from a
variety of sources, including the Office for Persons with Developmental
Disabilities, Office of Mental Health, ACCES -VR, and Counties (Warren &
Washington) . The vehicles carry about 40 passengers per day for an annual total
of about 8,000 trips. These trips include going to and from the facility, as well as
medical appointments, grocery shopping and social activities. The geographic
area served includes Warren and Washington counties, specifically Warrensburg,
Bolton Landing, Lake George, Fort Edward, Hudson Falls, Queensbury, Glens
Falls, South G lens Falls and part of Fort Ann. Much of the transportation service
occurs in the urban area.

mile) for the service, but some do not. The total outlay for volunteer
reimbursement in 2016 was $18,985, resulting in a cost per mile of just 44 cents.
There is significant unmet demand for service, as RSVP cannot find enough
drivers to meet all of the requests for rides. As a result, trips are limited to
medical appointments and clients are limited to 4 rides per month. RSVP tries
not to carry Medicaid- eligible individuals, as they are supposed to use the
Medical Answering Service network. There is no cost to the rider for these trips,
but donations are accepted. RSVP provides an umbrella insurance policy for the
drivers.
The final two respondents, Hudson Headwaters Health Network and Glens Falls
Housing Authority, provi de no transportation service. The information gained
from these agencies is incorporated into the section on needs, below.

Washington County Agencies
On December 1, the consultant team met with a group of officials representing
Washington County agencies and non- profits that work closely with the County.
Among these were the United Way and the Greenwich Interfaith Fellowship
which have already been discussed above . Information about transportation
resources available at these agencies is presented below.
The Washington County Economic Opportunity Council, Inc. is a non­
profit organization, but works closely with County agencies. It has three cars that
it operates with $38,000 provided by the Office of Aging. These cars are used to
provide medical trips and also social and shopping trips to a lesser extent for
older adults in Washington Count y. They can also serve younger people with low
incomes thanks to community services block grant funds. The agency also works
with Granville and uses two days per week on Granville’s van for network
transport. EOC is also involved in the Headstart program f or young children to
provide transportation to medical appointments when Medicaid is not available,
using seven or eight vans. This program serves 420 children younger than five
years old.
The County’s Department of Social Services does not own vehicles to
provide transportation to clients, but its workers will occasionally do so. The
agency uses taxis for the homeless population and will buy bus tokens for its
employment unit to distribute to low -income individuals needing transportation
to jobs.
Likewise the Department of Public Health does not provide transportation,
but does contract for transportation for preschool programs to serve children age
3 to 5. This program is paid for with 50% County funds.
The Aging and Disability Resource Center (part of the Department of Social
Services and the Office of Aging) provides home care and adult protective
services for people 18 and older. Staff members transport clients to shopping and
medical appointments using their cars, and also transport them to the agency
o ffice for meetings. The agency provides meals on wheels to over 300 seniors.
Finally, Veterans Affairs serves about 5,000 veterans in Washington County.
In a given year, the agency provides transportation to about 900 veterans, taking
them to the Albany Veterans Administration Hospital using either a van or a bus.
The agency employs one full -time driver. The vehicle carries up to 10 riders per
day, but it has a limited schedule due to inadequate funding. The agency is trying
to develop a connection to a community health clinic in Glens Falls to provide
more convenient healthcare access to its clients.
Warre n County Agencies
Agencies in Warren County were contacted by email and telephone. Information
collected during these interviews is presented below.
The County’s Department of Social Services, which includes the Youth
Bureau, has a fleet of eight vehicles including seven cars and one van. These were
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 10

purchased with County funds, and the County has an additional van available
that can be signed out when needed. The vehicles are used by case workers to
reach clients and also to transport clients for visitation s, to attend counseling
sessions, school meetings, etc. For clients with great needs, the caseworkers will
take them to grocery stores for shopping and other essential errands. DSS
encourages people living in Glens Falls to use the bus system and distribut es
tokens to those who cannot afford the bus fare. The agency will also pay for taxis
to take homeless people back to their temporary lodgings. The greatest need seen
by DSS is for transportation in the northern reaches of Warren County where
there is no bus service and to which it is difficult to find volunteer drivers to
drive.
The Office of Aging provides home care and adult protective services for people
18 and older. The agency has no vehicles but refers people to RSVP and the
Conkling Center when they need transportation. The Office will help fund
transportation for social events in various towns (while the towns provide the
vehicles).
Veterans Affairs operates trips from two pick-up points to the Albany VA
medical center every weekday, accommodating appointments from 9:30 a.m. to
1:00 p.m. It owns two vans, one of which is wheelchair accessible, and transports
70 riders per month on average. The agency has three part -time drivers to
operate the vans. The vans are also used for occasional other purposes, such as
taking veterans to 4
th of July and Memorial Day celebrations, and four trips per
year to Albany airport. The vans will carry veterans who live in other counties
whenever space is available (as long as those veterans are willing and able to
make i t to one of the pick -up points) . In the past, volunteer groups named Ricky
Rides and Thank s for Your Service had provided local transportation to veterans,
but these have a very limited scale. The agency does not coordinate or schedule
rides for the volunteers, but just provides contact information to any veterans
who need such transportation.
Medicaid Transportation
In New York State, non- emergency medical transportation (NEMT) funded by
the federal Medicaid program is provided through the Medical An swering
Ser vice, or MAS. This is a private -sector brokerage that accepts trip requests from
Medicaid -eligible individuals and schedules trips through the “most medically
appropriate and cost -effective ” means. The great majority of trips, particularly in
ru ral areas, are completed by taxi companies. MAS has been working with GGFT
to provide some NEMT trips within the Glens Falls urban area . MAS has had the
statewide contract only since 2014, but it has been operating in New York since
2003. Prior to MAS, NEM T was offered through public transit agencies and other
non- profit organizations, though in the rural areas of Washington and Warren
counties, taxi companies have always provided most if not all of the NEMT
service.
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 11

Taxi Companies
Taxis are used for a wide variety of purposes. For those lacking an automobile
and access to any government -funded transportation program, a taxi may be the
only source of mobility available. The MAS website lists 46 taxi companies
serving Warren County and 50 taxi companies serv ing Washington County.
Accounting for overlap, there are 54 distinct taxi companies listed for the two
counties. It should be noted that not all of the taxi companies listed provide
service to the general public; many are Medicaid -funded services that prov ide
transportation to medical appointments only.
A survey of citizens of the Adirondack Gateway Region, commissioned by the
Adirondack Gateway Council, found that about 20% of respondents stated that
they used taxis on a weekly basis. The main purposes for these trips were
medical, shopping, and work, with a few students taking taxis to school. About
75% of taxi users said that they paid less than $10 per trip. The typical fare for
trips within Glens Falls is likely about $5, but trips in rural areas can cost
substantially more. Some taxi companies offer small discounts (50 cents or a
dollar) for frequent riders who use taxis to get to work. However, taxis are not
typically seen as a long -term and sustainable transportation option for any given
individual be cause of the cost and inconvenience of having to schedule every ride.
Ridehailing
On June 29, 2017, it became legal to operate ridehailing services in upstate New
York. These services, such as Uber or Lyft, rely on individual contractors driving
their own vehicles, dispatched through a smartphone app. Since there is no
centralized fleet, this type of service could theoretically allow for increased taxi-
style service to rural areas. However, it remains to be seen whether the cost of
rides and low population density will make ridehailing a feasible transportation
option in rural areas.
Demographic Analysis
A n analysis of demographics in the study region was conducted to provide an
objective basis for evaluating the feasibility of potential mobility improvements.
The viability of traditional transit services depend s heavily on population density
and the prevalence of people who rely on transit for mobility , typically older
adults, people with low incomes, and especially people without access to an
automobile. Demand response service and recent innovative solutions may
depend somewhat less on these traditional measures for their success, but
nonetheless, it is important t o quantify potential demand and the location of
vulnerable populations to the extent it is possible.
The following sections provide an overview of the study region in terms of its
development pattern, distribution of household density and key demographic
c haracteristics. The data source for household density is the 2010 Census, since it
provides information at the Census block level —the most fine -grained level of
geography. The other maps are based on the American Community Survey (ACS),
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 12

representing an average of data from 2010 to 2014. These are presented at the
Census block group level. In general, the maps presented here are an update of
those contained in A/GFTC’s 2014 Coordinated Human Service Transportation
Plan.
Description of Regional Development Pa ttern
The core of the region is the Glens Falls urbanized area, including the city of
Glens Falls, and portions of four surrounding towns: Queensbury, Kingsbury,
Fort Edward and Moreau. The portions of these towns that are in the urbanized
area include West Glens Falls, Glens Falls North, Hudson Falls, Fort Edward, and
South Glens Falls. These neighborhoods include suburban residential areas,
village centers, industrial zones, and strip retail development. Beyond this
urbanized area lies the majority of the region, in the rural portions of Warren and
Washington counties, plus the rest of the Town of Moreau.
The development and population of Warren County is concentrated in the
Queensbury area. Moving north and west from there, the rest of the county has
extr emely low population density and much of it lies in wilderness areas, with the
exception of a few hamlets such as Warrensburg, Chestertown and Lake George.
Washington County is different, in that it has a larger number of villages and
hamlets spread out t hrough its long north -south expanse. The far northern
portion of the county is largely devoid of development, but the US 4, NY 40 and
NY 22 corridors (among others) connect numerous small towns and villages.
Many farms fill in the areas in between the vill ages, to a much greater extent than
in Warren County. The northern portion of the county is closely tied to the
economy of Glens Falls (with some linkage to Rutland, VT) , but the southern
portion is more closely tied to the Albany -Troy metropolitan area and Saratoga.
Household Density
Figure 2 shows the density of households per acre for the study region in the year
2010 by Census block. It is immediately obvious that the great majority of the
region is very rural, with a density of less than one household per acre. The
various villages and ham lets have blocks with densities of one to three
households per acre, with perhaps a block or two with higher densities. According
to the Transit Capacity and Quality of Service Manual (a TCRP report),
traditional fixed- route transit requires a density of a t least 3 households per acre,
which is roughly equivalent to quarter -acre zoning ( after the land used by roads
and sidewalks is accounted for). It is clear that only the Glens Falls urban area
has enough blocks with a density at least that high to support regular bus routes.
As described above, almost all of Warren County , outside of the southeast corner,
falls in to the lowest category of density. The hamlet of Warrensburg contains a
small cluster of moderate density blocks, with a sprinkling of density farther
north in Chestertown along US 9 and in North Creek where NY 28 joins the
Hudson River. In Washington County, there are several larger villages such as
Whitehall, Granville, S alem, Greenwich and Cambridge, plus other smaller
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 13

villages that are not labeled on the map. Unfortunately, from a transit
perspective, these villages are separated by long distances, making any sort of
scheduled service linking them together an expensive p roposition.
Figure 3 shows close -ups of the Glens Falls area and several of the other larger
villages in the study region. The Glens Falls map shows that the GGFT bus system
(superimposed in orange lines) is closely aligned to the areas with the highest
ho usehold density. All of the blocks with densities of at least 3 households per
acre are within walking distance of a route, and indeed there are deviations from
the main roadways that are clearly intended to serve specific housing
developments. This is esp ecially clear in Glens Falls North. Hudson Falls, which
has the most extensive area of high density housing outside of Glens Falls, is
served by GGFT’s Route 4, which has the highest level of service of any of the
routes in the GGFT system.

Age
The age profile of the study region is displayed in a series of maps, shown in
figures 4 through 10. Each map shows the percentage of the population in each
Census block group that belongs to a specific age cohort. The maps also show the
absolute number of people in that age group, since the block groups vary greatly
in their geographic area. These maps are based on ACS data from 2010 to 2014.
Figure 4 shows the location and concentration of young children, age 14 and
under. Since children of this age rarely move about independently, they are
important more for showing where young families are located. These families
may have need for child care services, and for those families who cannot afford a
car (or a second car if the primary breadwinner takes a car to work every day),
transportation can be a major challenge. The southern portion of Washington
County has relatively high percentages of children, perhaps representing families
with commuters to Saratoga and Albany, though the low densit y of many of these
block groups means that the absolute numbers of children are not very high. The
highest absolute figures are in the suburban areas around Glens Falls.
The next map (Figure 5 ) focuses on the teenage population which is beginning to
enter the labor force and may have mobility needs independent of their parents.
Most of the higher percentages and absolute numbers are in the block groups
surrounding Glens Falls, though the large block group at the northern edge of
Warren County has a relative ly high percentage and over 200 individuals in this
age group. The GGFT bus system reaches some of the higher -percentage block
groups near Glens Falls, but not all of them.
Figure 6 shows young adults of college age. The highest incidence of this age
group is a swath through the middle of Washington County from Granville
through Fort Ann, as well as some sections of Glens Falls. There are very few
people in this age group in southern Washington County and in most of Warren
County. The departure of people in this age group from rural areas to major
metro areas is a concern for much of the country.
Figure 7 covers a 15-year segment of the population, including the younger half of
people of “working age ” from 25 to 39. For most of the rural portions of Warren
a nd Washington counties, this group represents between 10 and 19% of the
population. In the central portion of the area, from the western section of Moreau
through some of Glens Falls and then heading northeast to Whitehall, the
percentage rises to over 20%. The absolute number of people in that age cohort in
many of those block groups is over 500. It is safe to say that much of the
workforce in Glens Falls lives in these block groups along US 4 to the north and
east and along US 9 to the south and west.

Figure 8 represents the largest age cohort of any of the maps in this series. As a
result, the percentages and absolute figures are higher than on any of the other
maps. The US 4 corridor does not show up as clearly on this map, other than the
block group south of Whitehall with over 1,100 people age 40 -59. Central
Washington County appears more prominently than on Figure 6. The south and
west sides of Glens Falls, includ ing most of Moreau, has more than 40% of its
residents in this age group, and the absolute numbers are large as well. As with
the previous map, many of the people in this age group in close proximity to
Glens Falls are likely working in the urbanized core of the region.
Younger seniors, those age 60 -69, are concentrated along Lake George and, to a
lesser extent, in the western portion of Washington County, as shown in Figure 9.
The highest absolute figures are in some of the block groups surrounding Glens
F alls, plus a block group between Whitehall and Granville, but there is a clear
pattern of younger retirees settling around Lake George. These block groups are
sparsely populated, so the absolute figures are not high. Presumably, the vast
majority of these retirees are able to afford an automobile and are not yet so old
as to be unable to drive.
The final map in the series (Figure 10) shows the concentration of seniors 70
years of age and older. There is again a clear concentration near Lake George,
though m ore on the western shore. There are also large numbers and a high
concentration of older seniors in block groups on the north side of Glens Falls.
Many of these residents live in assisted living or other housing oriented toward
seniors. The village of Granville also appears to host similar facilities. A
significant number of older seniors live in the northwest corner of Warren
County, with many of them likely in the hamlet of North Creek.

Income
There are many definitions of low income used in different studies. For the
purpose of this study, “very low income” is defined by the HUD threshold for a
three- person family in the A/GFTC area. For the 2010 -2014 period, this
threshold was $29,200. Among all households in the A/ GFTC area, 26% qualify
as very low income according to this definition.
Figure 11 shows the concentration of very low income households by block group.
Outside of Glens Falls, the highest concentrations are in four block groups
scattered across the area: Granville, Whitehall, the area south and west of
Warrensburg, and the far northwest corner of Warren County, including such
hamlets as Bakers Mills and North Creek. As with other maps, some of the
highest absolute figures are in the block groups in and aro und Glens Falls. The
block group containing much of Hudson Falls has nearly 500 very low income
households as well as a high percentage. Three other block groups in the urban
area also fall into the top percentage category. Most of the block groups in the
south western portion of Washington County and the eastern portion of Warren
County , as well as the suburban areas around Glens Falls, have relatively few very
low income households.
Automobile Availability
There are several reasons a household may not own an automobile. The most
common reasons in a generally rural area revolve around the inability to drive or
to afford a car. These reasons would be correlated with age (older seniors),
disability status, or very low income. Within cities or dense villages, some people
may choose to live without a car if they are able to walk or take transit to their
jobs and to take care of other personal business and shopping. No matter the
reason, the lack of an automobile is the clearest marker of dependency on public
tran sportation.
As shown in Figure 1 2, there are relatively few households overall that own zero
vehicles. Many block groups have 20 or fewer such households, and several block
groups have zero. Several block groups in Washington County have higher figures
and moderate percentages of zero -vehicle households, most of which are in the
larger villages such as Whitehall, Granville, Greenwich and Cambridge. The far
northwest corner of Warren County again shows up as a moderate percentage
and a not -insignificant numb er of households.
By far the highest numbers and highest percentages of zero -vehicle households
are in the downtown area of Glens Falls and Hudson Falls. Several of these block
groups have more than 100 households with no vehicles, and two of them have
mor e than 200 such households, representing over 30% of the population.
Fortunately, these areas are among the best served by the GGFT fixed route
system and have excellent walking access to businesses in downtown Glens Falls
or Hudson Falls.
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 26

Trip Generators
Figure 1 3 shows important trip destinations in the rural portion of the study area
( destinations in the Glens Falls urban area are excluded to make the map easier
to read). Large employers (more than 50 employees), government offices, grocery
stores, and p ost offices are mapped to show places where people need to go on a
regular basis.
1
In Washington County, the map shows five grocery stores outside of the urban
area: three in the Greenwich/Cambridge area, one in Granville and one in
Whitehall. For people living outside of these towns and villages, shopping is a
time- consuming chore, and for those without ready access to an automobile, it
can be nearly impossible. Most of the large employers are located along or near
NY 40 in Argyle and Greenwich. Many towns have no large employers.
In Warren County, most of the grocery stores are located either along US 9 or NY
9N, covering Warrensburg, Lake Luzerne, Bolton and Chestertown. There is also
a market in North Creek. Although it is very sparsely populated, the southwestern
portion of the county has poor access to grocery stores. There are few large
employers outside of Warrensburg.
External Trip Generators
Figure 14 shows the study area in a broader context and highlights the influence
of some of the more import ant activity centers outside of the A/GFTC region.
Rutland, Saratoga Springs, Troy, Bennington, and Ticonderoga all have hospitals
and significant employment and retail bases. Of course, the center of the Albany
metropolitan area is not much further to the southwest from Troy.
A 20 -mile radius around each of these activity centers is shown, to indicate which
parts of the study region may have stronger linkages to these external generators,
for the purposes of commuting, shopping, medical or entertainment t rips rathern
than Glens Falls. It can be seen that southern Washington County experiences
the strongest pull to generators outside of the region, and that most of Warren
County and the central portion of Washington County are beyond these 20 -mile
rings and thus are less likely to generate frequent trips to these external areas.
In terms of the potential for transit connections to the external job centers, CDTA
already operates the Northway Express along I -87 (with one trip per day
originating in South Glens Falls) which connects to downtown Albany. It is very
unlikely that any of the other external job centers have enough demand coming
from a compact area to be able to support a scheduled bus service. Ridesharing
and vanpools would be appropriate means of pr oviding alternatives to driving to
reach these locations.
1 Locations of pharmacies and libraries were also examined. In all cases, pharmacies were located
in close proximity to grocery stores and in almost every case, libraries were located in close
proximity to government offices. Thus, for the sake of map clarity, pharmacies and libraries are
not shown separately.

Unmet Needs and Underlying Causes
A critical portion of this study was to identify transportation needs in the rural
study region. The RFP for this project posed four questions to be answered:
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 32

For people living in small towns, villages and hamlets, cars have also become
almost indispensible. Sweeping trends such as globalization, market
consolidation, automation, and technological innovation have drastically affected
employment and retail in small communities. Gone are the days when every
small town has a sustainable employment base, as well as a grocery store, and
other shops to take care of residents’ needs. Economies of scale have largely
driven small employers and shops out of busi ness, replaced by supermarkets and
superstores , not to mention online retailers. While in the past, people living in
small towns may have been able to get to work and acco mplish most or all of their
shopping and personal business on foot, now it is rare to find such cases.
As shown in the previous section, there are people living in rural areas and small
towns who have no cars available, and many more people with low income or of
advanced age who may find it difficult to afford or drive a car. Even if they would
like to move to a city or transit -accessible location, they may not be able to for a
variety of reasons.
In spite of the mobility needs in rural areas and small town s/villages, traditional
transit services are not well suited to meet these needs. Bus services require a
minimum level of population density to be viable (see Household Density section
above) , and rural areas, by definition, do not have this level of density. Demand
response service can meet some of these needs, but as will be discussed below,
tends to be restricted to specific populations by existing funding sources, is very
expensive to provide on a per -passenger basis, and for the rider has traditionally
required advance planning and reservations, which makes it far inferior to the
mobility provided by a car.
Other than relocation, new solutions are needed to increase mobility in rural
areas. The next section considers mobility needs for various demograph ic groups.
Needs by Demographic Group
Each segment of the resident population has its own distinct need for mobility.
These needs differ by the type of trips taken (trip purpose), time of day, and
accessibility, both in terms of physical accessibility for a person in a wheelchair,
and the feasible walking distance between the vehicle and the origin and
destination locations on either end of the trip.
Youth
For the purposes of this study, the Youth population segment is defined as people
from age 15 to age 19. These are people who are beginning to have mobility needs
separate from their family, perhaps because of after -school jobs, entertainment,
sports, and other activities. While some of them may be fortunate enough to have
access to a car for most or all o f their needs, many of them do not. The most likely
means of transport for this age group is getting a ride, either with a family
member or with a friend. Other possible means of transport include walking or
bicycling for short -to medium -range trips or taking transit for those located in
Glens Falls and the immediately -surrounding areas .
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 33

Youths with after -school jobs would likely need transport from their high school
to wherever their job is (a village center or a shopping mall, etc.) between 2:30
p.m. and 3:30 p.m., and then transport to a location near their home between
5:30 p.m. and 7:00 p.m. These trips would occur every day school is in session.
Trips for social activities would be more likely to occur on Friday and Saturday
evenings. Sports activities could happen almost any time, from the hours before
to school starts, to the after school period and on weekends.
With respect to accessibility, teenagers are more likely than other demographic
groups to be able to walk some distance between where the vehicle picks them up
or drops them off and their origin and destination locations. In terms of the
“severity” of the mobility need, it may be that teenagers’ mobility needs are not
quite as critical as those for other groups, in that they are unlikely to go hungry or
lack medical treatment without independent mobility. That is not to say that
independent mobility would not be a significant benefit to some teens, whose
families could desperately use the extra income, or whose quality of life would be
greatly enhanced by being able to participate in more activities than their current
mobility situation allows.
Working Age
Referring back to the series of age maps in the prior section, the working age
population covers people age 20 -24, 25 -39, and 40- 59. There are certainly plenty
of people in their sixties working as well, but for the purpose of this study, we will
consider people 60 -69 as “young retirees.” People with disabilities in the working
age group are considered separately below.
The primary concern of p eople in this age cohort is being able to get to work. As
one stakeholder plainly put it during an interview, if you live in a rural area, “no
car, no job.” As described above, even in villages and small towns, the job
opportunities are limited —more limite d than in the past —so that people need to
be able to commute to an urban area or industrial park.
Many of these commuting trips take place at “normal” weekday rush hours, such
as 7:00 to 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., but many workers at industrial parks
or health care facilities work second or third shift and may need to work on
weekends. For new entrants to these jobs, the mobility need may be short -lived,
since holding down the job could allow them to purchase an automobile, solving
their mobility chal lenge.
However, until they can start a job, low -income people in rural areas are “stuck”
in a situation that is difficult to emerge from, because any of the solutions require
money. This situation may affect their health as well, especially if they are not
eligible for or enrolled in Medicaid.
Working age people, of course, need to make other trips as well, for shopping,
personal business, medical, child care, and social and recreational activities. But,
as just stated, if they have a job, then they can lik ely afford a car. Thus, providing
some form of mobility, at least on a temporary basis, to people in rural areas, can
help solve their general mobility problem for the longer term.
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 34

Older Adults
Most programs design ed to aid senior citizens begin at age 60, though there are
some available to anyone 55 or older. It is difficult to treat all people 60 or older
as a single group regarding transportation needs, because the needs of someone
who is 62 may be very different from someone who is 87. Setting aside for the
moment the younger seniors (who are more similar to working age adults, and
likely do not have significant mobility needs unless they have a very low income
or a disability ), as people move toward the upper end of this age range, their
needs have less to do with getting to jobs and more to do with medical
appointments and basic needs such as meals and shopping.
Most programs geared toward older adults make medical transportation the
highest priority, with weekly or biweekly shopping trips also provided when
funding allows. Seniors who are enrolled in adult day programs usually are
eligible for transportation to those programs. Some of these programs also
provide transportation for occasional excursions and social activities. Please refer
to the earlier section in this report about transportation resources available from
non- profit agencies in the region.
Many older adults, when they can no longer drive, choose to relocate to housing
that includes services for them, such as assisted living, or tha t is in an area where
they can walk to take care of their basic needs. Seniors in rural areas who decide
not to , or cannot afford to relocate, can have the greatest mobility needs and pose
the greatest challenge to agencies that serve this population becau se of the costs
involved in transporting them between their far -removed homes and the medical
and other facilities that they need to reach. These challenges grow as their health
declines. For instance, those with kidney disease need transportation three times
per week for dialysis, but most programs only have enough resources to offer one
or two trips per week. The patients must then rely on family and friends to
provide the other rides.
While older adults are perhaps the group with the greatest transportation needs ,
they are also the group that benefits most from existing programs. It is generally
recognized that the existing programs do not have sufficient funding to meet all
of the needs of this population . Innovative solutions may help address the unmet
needs of this population, but more funding in existing programs may be the
simplest solution.
People with Disabilities
As was true of older adults, “people with disabilities” is a broad category covering
people facing a wide range of challenges, from phys ical disabilities to sensory,
mental or cognitive disabilities. They can be of any age or income level, and live
independently or with families. For many , but not all, people with disabilities,
driving a car is not a feasible option.
The primary funding pr ogram from the Federal Transit Administration for older
adults (section 5310) also covers people with disabilities. Thus, what was true
about seniors benefitting from existing programs (and suffering from inadequate
funding of those programs) is also true of people with disabilities.
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 35

People with disabilities who are working age may have little need to get to
medical appointments but a significant need to get to a job. They may have other
sources of income because of their disability, but still desire to ha ve a job and be a
productive member of society. If they can live independently, then they can
choose to live in a place that offers access to their job via public transportation,
but if not, then they may struggle with the choice between living with family
members or in a facility that provides the support they need and being able to
work outside of the home.
Transportation for people with disabilities obviously needs to account for
accessibility for people using wheelchairs or other mobility devices, as well as
visual and other impairments. As was found in the inventory of non- profit
agencies, many of the vehicles being used in the region are not wheelchair
accessible, but agencies make an effort to coordinate with others that have this
resource (such as th e Conkling Center) when the need arises.

ITN Country
• Needs addressed: S eniors, visually -impaired adults
Independent Transportation Network of America is developing a new initiative
called ITN Country, targeted at rural areas. ITNCountry is intended to be a
program within an existing organization, which would have a large say in its
service parameters , such as hours of operation, limitations on eligibility, fares,
etc. To facilitate the spread of ITN Country, ITN is building a large on-line
learning community where all of ITN’s innovative programs are taught and
supported.
The features of ITNCountry include personal transportation accounts in which
members can accumulate and spend ride credits. S eniors can trade in their
vehicles for ride credits or earn credits as volunteer drivers themselves, banking
them to pl an for their own future needs. Relatives in other areas with ITN can
also earn credits for a senior who needs rides.
The ITN Country program is still in development, with national rollout at least
three years away. Communities interested in early adoption c an pay a $15,000
fee to be part of the research phase. In the longer term, ITN is hoping to charge
only $2,500 annually year for this service.
A/GFTC would need to work with existing service agencies, including those
involved in the Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan, to identify
possible organizations under which ITN Country could operate. The options
include:

Telephone Call Center/Online Trans portation Coordination
• Needs addressed: A wareness of available services among all vulnerable
populations
F or transit services to be used effectively, the riding public must be aware of their
existence in order to to take advantage of them. A centralized call center paired
with online resources that gather and provide information about all options
available to the public make it much simpler to find out about and use these
services. Two counties in New York have made significant efforts to establish
these information clearinghouses.
The Schuyler County Transportation Call Center (Schuyler County, NY) connects
riders with a network of providers, incl uding Schuyler County Transit, Schuyler
County Office for the Aging, RSVP, The Arc of Schuyler, and Veterans Services
volunteer drivers. Options include public transit, door -to -door, rideshare,
carpool, vanpool and voucher programs. Reservations must be ma de two days in
advance, and payment varies by transportation providers; trip types (medical,
shopping, etc.) vary by transportation provider. Funding comes from the
Veterans Community Living Initiative, NYS DOT (Mobility Management from
FTA 5311 funds) , and Schuyler County Office for the Aging. It operates Monday-
Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. The staff consists of one part -time person and
a full -time supervisor (who mainly performs other activities). The training for
this work, which includes the use o f RouteMatch scheduling software, takes one
to two months. The call center receives 200 to 250 calls per month.
Way2GO -Tompkins County (Tompkins County, NY) is an online resource and a
2-1- 1 service that connects riders with medical transportation providers,
carsharing, taxis, vanpool service s, Zimride, and TDM employer services .
Reservations and payment vary by transportation provider; trip types (medical,
shopping, etc.) vary by transportation provid er. Funding comes from Tompkins
County Department of Social Services .
GGFT already provides informal call center services for the region, in that its staff
often provides information on transportation options well beyond what GGFT
itself operates. To upgra de this capacity to a formalized call center would mainly
involve establishing the regular transfer of information from all service providers
to GGFT so that it has up -to -date information on all transportation options, as
well as an upgrade to the website to provide this information online. This would
also likely involve additional staffing, either part -or full -time, to deal with
additional call volume and to act as a liaison between the call center and the
transportation providers. GGFT or A/GFTC may want to partner with Cornell
Cooperative Extension Offices in Hudson Falls and Warrensburg on this effort;
Way2Go is a project of the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County, in
partnership with the Tompkins County Department of Social Services.

Seasonal/Tourism Workforce
Ten of the largest employers outside of the Glens Falls urbanized area are in the
tourism industry, with a cluster of smaller employers centered around Lake
George .
2 A/GFTC, in partnership with the Adirondack Regional Chamber of
Commerce, could work with r egional resorts, camps, and conference facilities to
coordinate with ZimRide to develop a “Lake George Trusted Network” to help
facilitate rides for seasonal employees. ZimRide offers an online sign -up site for
organizations, but the seasonal employers would need to work with their own HR
departments to promote the program within their work places (this could also be
facilitated in part by a local Chamber of Commerce, or similar organization).
Employers in Saratoga Springs may also be a potential ZimRide ne twork.
Year-round Employers
As with seasonal employers, there are a number of large year -round industries in
the region, mostly located in the urban area. One exception is the Fort Miller
Group , the largest employer in the A/GFTC rural area, with over 250 employees.
Creating an independent vanpool or carpool program would be costly and time –
consuming, but A/G FTC could encourage large employers to create and promote
a trusted ZimRide network for their employees, similar to the seasonal example
above. It shou ld be noted that ZimRide would be equally valuable for large
employers in the urban part of the Glens Falls area, since many of the employees
of those firms live in the rural areas and could benefit from ridesharing. The
formation of carpools and vanpools from the rural areas into Glens Falls would
open up employment opportunities for people who currently cannot drive.

previously merged with A/GFTC's iPoolNorth; the consolidation was intended as
a cost -sharing initiative, as well as to link the systems to reflect commutation
patterns. However, now that the program is hosted by the 511NY system (rather
than a standalone database), there may be benefit to reverting to separate online
portals. This would allow for local promotion and an online presence customized
to the A/GFTC area, while still allowing for ridematching to occur throughout the
greater Capital District. It would also b e possible to set up a vanpool service,
similar to the one currently administered by CDTA through iPool2.

deduction and VFC's financial return. All proceeds go toward preparing more
vehicles for deserving families.
A third component of VFC is an automotive repair training program . VFC’s Full
Circle Service Center in Halethorpe, MD has a program for ex -offenders who
have been released from the corrections system . These trainees receive
certification and can obtain jobs at auto repair shops. VFC has developed a
partnership with the Maryland Transit Administration so that trainees can
qualify to work as bus mechanic s at MTA.
The greatest challenge for VFC is acquiring enough cars. They are able to award
only about one out of five cars donated. In a northern climate with greater use of
road salt and therefore more issues with rust, the award ratio may drop to one
out of six or one out of seven. VFC partners with schools, charities, and car
d ealerships to increase vehicle donations. However, there are also many other
charitable organizations competing for donated cars, including public radio
stations, Kars for Kids, and other non -profits. None of these has the vehicle
award component of VFC, w hich is its primary benefit to rural mobility. In
Vermont and elsewhere in northern New England, Good News Garage, part of
Ascentria Care Alliance, has a program very similar to VFC, but it has no current
plans to expand into upstate New York.
VFC is begin ning to expand its programs outside the Maryland -Virginia –
Washington D.C. region; in 2015, it opened a second location in Detroit,
Michigan. An expansion of VFC’s program to the A/GFTC region could be set up
as a franchise, with VFC providing knowledge, accounting and management
support. VFC also suggest s building partnerships with auto dealerships, which
helps with car donations and repairs.

Outreach
Following the development of the alternatives described above, A/GFTC and the
consultant team sought to obtain input from as many relevant parties as possible.
These included the non -profits and governmental agencies contacted in the early
phases of the st udy, additional social service organizations, and members of the
general public reached through a variety of means.
A/GFTC prepared a brief survey with input from the steering committee that was
made available to all of the key stakeholder groups. These gr oups then
distributed paper surveys to their constituents and/or encouraged them to go
online to fill out the survey there. The survey form is shown in the appendix.
The Study Advisory Committee helped to identify the key stakeholder groups
which included County agencies as well as non -profit organizations. The key
agencies are listed below:

General Questions
The survey covered a wide geographic range with respondents living in a total of
37 different municipalities. Glens Falls had the most respondents with 59

The survey questions 5 to 7 inquired about the timing and frequency of
transportation problems people face and the types of trip for which they have
difficulty find ing a ride. Figure 19 shows the frequency of transportation
p roblems for respondents in general. 60 respondents (2 5% of the total survey)
left this question blank, presumably indicating that they do not have
transportation problems. The percentages shown in Figure 19 represent the
percentages of all surveys , but among people who answered this question:

• Some responses also noted seasonal difficulties and issues with
transportation on holidays. A few “other” responses indicated problems
only when their car broke down.
The next question asked about what kind of trips (trip purposes) respondents had
difficulty making. There were 1 60 responses to this question, with the other 80
surveys leaving thi s question blank, likely because they feel it did not apply to
them. Figure 21 shows that just under one third of the people who answered this
question (31%) had difficulties finding rides for all types of trips. Medical and
shopping trips were identified as trips that were difficult to accomplish. Work
and school trips figured less prominently into the responses.

The prominence of medical trips in this result could indicate that many of the
respondents were ineligible for Medicaid transportatio n, possibly because their
household owned a car, or other reasons. The relatively low percentages for work
and school could indicate that few of the respondents currently had jobs or were
in school, or that if they were unable to hold a job because of a la ck of
transportation, they may have answered “All.”
Q uestion 8 on the survey sought to identify specific geographic locations that
respondents had trouble reaching. Many of the responses were more generic in
nature, reflecting tr ip purposes (such as “shopp ing” or “doctor” ) rather than

The reverse side of the survey form asked respondents to react to the potential
solutions developed during the study. This list of solutions is a simplified version
of the alternatives discussed in detail earlier in this report. It was not possible in
this format to provide detailed
descriptions of how each solution would work,
thus the goal was to gauge a general reaction to a concept rather than determine
the feasibility of an alternative in a robust way. Figure 23 shows the responses to
potential transportation solutions. The percentages shown below represent
responses divided by total surveys collected rather than the percentage of people
who answered the question. For each option, there were between 25 and 37
respondents who did not fill in any choices.

RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 57


The website/app to facilitate r idesharing and the expanded volunteer
driver program for seniors were somewhat less popular, with 3 5% and
42%, respectively, saying they would never use it. The volunteer driver
program likely scored low because respondents who were not older adults
likely felt that it was not open to them.
Figure 24 summarizes the reactions to the options by combining the first two
choices into a “favorable” response. This graph makes it clear that the rural taxi
was the most favored option, while the volunteer driver program for seniors had
the fewest favorable responses. Again, it is possible that if the volunteer program
had not been restricted to seniors, it may have scored better. In addition, the
existence or lack of favorable response is only one element to take into account
regarding the potential for implementation. It should be noted that the donated
cars program and the volunteer driver program had the highest number of non –
responses (37 each).

There were 31 other comments received in the survey. Six comments noted the
economic impacts of transportation. These included the expense of driving and
vehicle ownership as well as the inability to earn money because of limited access
to jobs. Eight comments were mode specific —noting lack of bus service and the
unreliability and perceived lack of safety associated with taxi cabs. A few
comments noted communication difficulty with Medicab drivers (due to a
language barrier ) and the ability to schedule more than one appointment at a
time.
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 58

Follow -up Communication
According to the survey responses, Facebook is the best way to communicate
information to the public with 70 responses. Newspaper and email were the next
most popular methods of communication followed by websites and public agency
staff. Eight respondents selected the other category. These responses included
phone calls, text message, Instagram, and open door.
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 59

Conclusion
Transportation access in rural areas has been a problem for a long time,
exacerbated in recent decades as economic opportunities have shrunk and as the
population in the northeastern US has aged. Globalization of manufacturing and
consolidation of retail by superstores have reduced the viability of locally –
provided jobs and increased the transportation burdens on rural residents who
have had to travel farther than they used to when each town or village had its own
employment base.
Even in a period of relatively inexpensive fuel (Spring 2017), the cost of owning
and operating a car can be prohibitive for many rural resid ents. For older
residents and people with disabilities, driving may not be an option because of
physical limitation. Sprawling development patterns that assume the availability
of automobiles for everyone present major barriers to people who cannot drive.
There are unfortunately many facilities oriented toward people who tend to be
transportation -disadvantaged that are located far from village centers or existing
public transportation services.
This study has attempted to identify transportation barriers an d unmet needs in
the rural region surrounding Glens Falls, and then to list potential options to
address these needs. These options exhibit a wide range of potential effectiveness
and scalability, as well as a range of resources needed for implementation.
The initial survey undertaken through area non -profits and county agencies
shows a receptiveness to several of the options, especially for a call center and
rural taxi service. Proponents of some of the programs, such as ITNCountry and
Vehicles for Change, stand ready to work with the Glens Falls region to create
new rural mobility initiatives.
In all cases, in order for a program to succeed, it needs a local champion and a
source of funding. Fortunately, many of the options do not have high price tags,
a nd with local leadership and cooperation, they do have the potential to make a
difference in the mobility options available to rural residents.
Next Steps/Recommendations
As shown in the analysis of the alternatives, no one course of action will fulfill al l
of the transportation needs in the region. However, several options for
implementation seem to have a greater potential to balance efficacy with
feasibility. In addition, there are other actions that can be taken in the short term
to maintain the momentu m of this project into the future. It is recommended that
the following action items be pursued:
RURAL MOBILITY STUDY 60

to enable assistance for training and implementation, if needed. RSVP
staff has noted plenty of unmet demand and a lack of sufficient numbers
of volunteers. The boost that would be provided by ITNCountry would
make this very effective program much more widely available and create a
more significant regional impact.

Executive Summary
White Creek Geomorphology and Historical Human Impacts  White Creek has a drainage area of approximately 23 square miles at the VT-NY border and 36
square miles in Salem Village. The agricultural and residential development patterns found in
the watershed are characteristic of typical rural watersheds in this area of Vermont and New
York. Agriculture and moderate density development are more prevalent in the New York
portion; however more than 70% of the watershed is undeveloped and classified as forest or
shrub.
 The White Creek corridor has been historically manipulated along most of its length from West
Rupert into Salem. Channel and floodplain manipulation likely started as early as the 1700’s as
agriculture expanded within the valley, and over the years has included channel straightening,
dredging, berming, and extensive floodplain encroachment from roads and railroads.
 Most of the river valley in Salem is occupied by alluvium parent material, or fine-grained soils
that have been deposited by White Creek over thousands of years. The New York portion of
White Creek is found in an unconfined valley with a low sloped valley and channel (i.e., typically
less than 0.5%). Under reference conditions in this setting we would expect a gravel-bottom,
pool-riffle channel with a moderate to high sinuosity. However due to historic channel
manipulation the resulting planform of the creek is very different from its original state, with
low sinuosity in most reaches and stream type departures observed in several reaches.
White Creek Hydrology and Hydraulics
 Estimating flood discharges for different recurrence intervals in the White Creek watershed in
Vermont and New York is challenging for several reasons:
o White Creek has never had a long term USGS gage to measure continuous discharge.
o White Creek straddles two very different landscapes: steep, mountainous terrain in
Vermont where orographic rainfall is common and annual precipitation may exceed 60
inches; lower elevation terrain in New York where annual precipitation totals are
typically less than 35 inches.
o The USGS hydrologic region where White Creek is found – Region 1 – spans a vast area
of upstate New York. The average parameter values used to develop flow regressions
across this large region may not be appropriate for the White Creek watershed. Region
2 estimates may be more appropriate for White Creek.
 Our review of the USGS regressions and gages in the region suggests that the flood flow
estimates used by NYSDOT and Washington County for evaluating the hydraulic capacity of
bridge openings likely underestimate the range of possible flows in the watershed. For example,
the value used by the State and the County for the 100-year flow at the Village of Salem has
been in the range of 3,500 to 3,700 cfs. Our analysis suggests that the range of flows for this
event likely falls between 5,000 cfs and 6,000 cfs.
 The wide river valley though the Town of Salem and the associated roads, railroad, buildings,
and bridges created a complex environment for hydraulic modeling. Extensive field verification

and survey was required to understand the flooding dynamics within the study area.
Documentation of Tropical Storm Irene damage and flooding extents collected by the Salem
Flood Study Committee was invaluable for calibrating the hydraulic model and improving the
overall accuracy of the study.
 HEC-GeoRAS and HEC-RAS 4.1 software were used to create a one-dimensional river and
floodplain hydraulics model for White Creek from the Route 153 bridge in Vermont downstream
to the confluence with Blind Buck Brook. LiDAR was used to determine elevations for most
cross-sections in the model, however all bridge openings (and upstream/downstream sections)
were field surveyed. Channel bottom elevations were checked and adjusted throughout the
study area to account for LiDAR error in channel depth.
Infrastructure Vulnerability and Flood Mitigation Alternatives  Our hydraulic analysis included an evaluation of bridge flood capacity for all 17 public and
private bridges on White Creek. 10 of the 17 bridges have limited capacity to pass only the 10-
year flood or less, indicating that most bridges on White Creek are hydraulically undersized by
county and state standards. These assessments assume “clear flow” hydraulics, i.e., t hey do not
account for sediment and debris accumulation upstream or within the bridge opening during
flood events. Therefore the capacity at bridges prone to sediment aggradation and debris
clogging is likely lower during moderate and large flood events.
 Our hydraulic analysis of the White Creek corridor indicated that there are greater opportunities
to mitigate flooding depths and extents during moderate floods, as the flooding is not nearly as
extensive in comparison to large floods (i.e., 2011 Irene flood). The moderate floods, those
which have a 10-20% chance of occurring on any given year, occur on a frequency that regularly
affects residents’ lives and property in the valley.
 We evaluated 8 project alternatives upstream of Salem Village. We began by focusing on flood
resiliency for transportation infrastructure; we explored opportunities for larger bridge
openings, roadway embankment stabilization compatible with river stability. Another focus was
on flood flow attenuation opportunities for moderate floods including berm removals to
reconnect severed floodplains, improvement of drainage beneath the rail bed to reconnect
adjacent floodplains, and riparian buffer restoration.
 We evaluated over 10 project alternatives in Salem Village, and summarized the benefits and
costs for 7 alternatives in greater detail. These alternatives included removal of berms, removal
of the Archibald Street bridge, channel widening and deepening, and floodplain restoration with
home buyouts.
Next Steps  Upstream and Village proje cts were prioritized for “near term” and “long term” benefits to
reducing flood vulnerability in Salem, providing a “roadmap” for the community to follow. We
recommend the following steps for the community to advance these projects over time:

o
Solicit input from individuals, businesses, and officials from the Towns of Salem and
Rupert at future community meetings regarding specific projects and overall project
prioritization.
o Prioritize one to two projects to pursue each year with assistance from WCDPW,
A/GFTC, and other participating groups to identify appropriate funding sources and
partners.
o Apply for one to two grants each year to advance project development and/or designs.
o Implement projects as funding allows, and monitor project success.
 To further identify and evaluate upstream floodplain restoration and reconnection
opportunities, we recommend a field-based geomorphic study and river corridor plan for the
White Creek reaches in Salem to complement similar work in the Vermont portion of the
watershed.
 River science needs to be better incorporated into future public infrastructure projects in the
watershed to ensure proper sizing and scour protection measures for bridges and roadway
stabilization measures.
 There is a need for better coordination amongst partners working in the watershed, including
the towns, A/GFTC, WCDPW, USFWS, Trout Unlimited, and Battenkill Watershed Alliance. The
need for this coordination is two-fold: 1. to ensure that habitat enhancement work (i.e., weirs)
does not increase flood vulnerability for nearby homes, farmland, and infrastructure; 2. To
ensure that public infrastructure and flood mitigation projects summarized in this report are
conducted in a way to minimize impacts to aquatic habitat and downstream water quality.

1.0 Introduction
1.1 Project Background The White Creek flows out of steep terrain
in the Taconic Mountains of Vermont and
descends into a broad valley in New York
with a long history of agricultural land use
(see Figure 1 .1). During large floods, the
surge of floodwaters and sediment carried
by White Creek poses a hazard to
infrastructure and public safety along the
river corridor from Rupert to Salem. In the
headwaters area of Rupert, severe erosion
along roads and at critical bridge crossings
has led to costly repair work in recent floods
such as Tropical Storm Irene in 2011. As
White Creek enters the Town of Salem,
inundation hazards are prevalent,
particularly in areas where out of bank flow
occurs and is diverted around and along the
rail bed. In between the state line and the
Village of Salem, White Creek flows approximately 8 river miles along farm fields and adjacent to
Route 153 and the historic rail bed. Along this stretch, the potential for floodplains bordering White
Creek to attenuate or diminish the flood surge downstream is compromised due to historical
manipulation of the channel (i.e., berming along farm fields, channel dredging, confinement along
Route 153 and the rail bed). If these floodplain areas are enhanced and allowed to function at their
full potential, they may be critical in lowering flood risks to transportation infrastructure on the New
York side of the watershed as well as other public and private infrastructure in downstream Salem
Village.
The Adirondack/Glens Falls Transportation Council (A/GFTC) hired Fitzgerald Environmental
Associates (FEA) and project partner MSK Engineering and Design (MSK) to complete a hydrologic
and hydraulic study of the White Creek watershed in Rupert, Vermont and Salem, New York for the
purpose of evaluating infrastructure flood vulnerability and potential mitigation opportunities. The
findings from this study present a “road map” for future flood mitigation efforts including the
prioritization of projects based on their benefits and costs, and recommendations for next steps.
1.2 Project Objectives Flood vulnerability and mitigation studies are most successful when conducted at the watershed
scale beginning with characterization of watershed hydrology and continuing through the evaluation
of reach geomorphology and local channel and floodplain hydraulics. The scope of this project
covered the hydrology, geomorphology, and hydraulics of the White Creek corridor as a basis for
flood resiliency planning. The primary project objectives included: Figure 1 .1 : White Creek watershed boundary and the extents of
the 2012 – 2013 White Creek/Mill Brook SGA study area and the
2016 White Creek Study.

2.0 White Creek Watershed Background
White Creek originates from steep forested headwaters within the Towns of Rupert and Sandgate in
the southwestern corner of Vermont. The mainstem of White Creek converges with Mill Brook near
the Vermont/New York state line. The channel then descends through a wide valley shared with
Route 153 and the abandoned railroad bed until reaching the Village of Salem. White Creek is a
prominent feature within the Village with several streets and numerous houses located adjacent to
the stream banks. Downstream of the Village the channel continues to flow through a wide valley
primarily occupied with corn and hay fields until it reaches the confluence with Black Creek,
approximately 3 miles downstream.
2.1 Current and Historical Land Use Land cover data based on imagery from 2011 (Homer et al., 2015) are summarized in Table 2.1. The
agricultural and residential development patterns found in the watershed are characteristic of
typical rural watersheds in this area of Vermont and New York. Agriculture and moderate density
development are more prevalent in the New York portion; however more than 70% of the
watershed is undeveloped and classified as forest or shrub. Table 2 .1: Land cover characteristics of White Creek watershed (values expressed as a percent) .

Historic channel manipulation is a prominent feature along White Creek, especially through the wide
agricultural valleys along the New York portion of the watershed. Channel manipulation likely
started as early as the 1700’s as agriculture expanded within the valley. Large scale channel

straightening in rural watersheds is typically associated with road and railroad construction, as well
as agricultural land uses. Analysis of historic imagery and mapping (Scott and Smith, 1853; UNH,
2012
) indicates areas where White Creek was completely relocated during the construction of the
railroad (Figure 2.1). Residential and agricultural land use along the river banks and floodplains
further restricts channel migration and floodplain accessibility. Decades of channel manipulation
cause the stream to lock in to an erosional process referred to incision or degradation. As channel
migration is limited by straightening and armoring, the channel begins to cut downward (incision)
which further reduces floodplain access. Berms were constructed in many areas along White Cree k
in response to flooding events. While these berms protect agricultural fields and buildings on the
floodplains, they reduce floodwater storage potential and increase the volume and rate of
floodwaters conveyed downstream toward the Village of Salem.

Fi gure 2.1: Historic channel locations indicate major channel manipulation during
railroad construction and development within the Village of Salem.
2.2 Watershed Gradients Channel slopes within the watershed follow the typical pattern of steep headwater reaches
gradually transitioning to moderate slopes as tributaries converge and the channel increases in size
(Figure 2.2). Channel slopes continue to decrease as the streams enter wide river valleys. As the
stream reaches the state line the channel slope drops below 1% and enters a very wide and
unconfined river valley. Channel slopes through the Village and extending down to the confluence
with Black Brook are typically under 0.5%. The transition from high/moderate slope in Vermont to
low slope in New York also signifies a shift in the types of expected flooding damage from erosion
and inundation in Vermont to predominantly inundation in New York.

3.0 Geomorphic Assessment
A preliminary geomorphic assessment of the White Creek corridor was conducted to tie into the existing
geomorphic database and River Corridor Plan completed by FEA in Rupert in 2013 (FEA, 2013). The
existing database of geomorphic conditions ends in Rupert at Hebron Road, approximately ½ mile east
of the state line. Our assessments began downstream (west) of Salem Village at the confluence of White
Creek and Blind Buck Stream, and continued upstream to West Rupert (see Figure 3.2). In order to work
within the project time frame through the winter and spring months, we followed an abbreviated
version of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s Stream Geomorphic Assessment
(SGA) Phase 1 Protocols (VTDEC, 2009), as described below.
3.1 Geomorphic Assessment Approach
 The Salem portion of White Creek was delineated into 8 reaches (along approximately 8 river
miles) following VTDEC’s SGA Phase 1 protocol for reach delineation.
 Step 2 of VTDEC’s SGA protocol was populated, including valley and channel slope, watershed
drainage area, sinuosity, reference channel
geometry per Mulvihill et al. (2007),
reference stream type (Rosgen, 1994), and
reference bedform (Montgomery and
Buffington, 1997). Valley width and
confinement were generated using a
percent slope map, generated from the
LiDAR elevation data, to identify valley
walls and measure valley width (Figure
3.1). The Step 2 data is summarized in
Tables 3.1 and 3.2.
 The study area was scanned remotely
using high-resolution aerial photography
and LiDAR data to locate areas with
excessive sedimentation or lateral
movement post-Irene flood, i.e., significant
channel features such as bank erosion, large gravel deposits, debris jams, etc.
 Cross-sections cut from the HEC-RAS model at regular intervals were used to characterize
reference and existing stream type, channel evolution stage, channel geometry and
channel/floodplain connectivity, and estimate entrenchment and incision ratios. This data is
summarized in Table 3.2.
 A windshield survey was conducted to verify data generated remotely. This included
observations at access points along the Creek, such as bridge crossings and the railroad bed
adjacent the channel. Valley

The information collected in this assessment assist
ed with assigning a channel evolution model (CEM)
stage for each reach (Schumm, 1977). Channel evolution models provide a basis for understanding
the temporal scale of channel adjustments and departure in the context of SGA results. Both the “D”
sta ge and “F” stage CEMs (VTDEC, 2009) are helpful for explaining the channel adjustment processes
underway in the White Creek watershed. The “F” stage CEM is used to understand the process that
occurs when a stream degrades (incises) its bed. The more domina nt adjustment process for the “D”
stage channel evolution is aggradation, widening and planform change. D-stage CEM typically occurs
where grade controls prevent severe channel incision and abandonment of the adjacent floodplain.
The common stages of both CEMs are depicted in Figure 3.3 below.

Geomorphic conclusions:
The preliminary geomorphic assessment provides a basis for understanding the river valley setting
and predicting what types of channel forms would be expected under
“reference ,” or undisturbed
conditions. This effort is useful for understanding the tendency of the White Creek corridor to
support natural river forms that may be beneficial for reducing flood vulnerability in downstream
areas such as Salem Village. Some key conclusions are outlined below.
 Most of the river valley is occupied by alluvium parent material (see Figure 3.2), or fine-grained
soils that have been deposited by White Creek over thousands of years.
 The New York portion of White Creek is found in an unconfined valley, with a low sloped valle y
and channel (i.e., typically less than 0.5%). Under reference conditions in this setting, we would
expect a gravel-bottom C or E-type channel (see Figure 3.4) with a sinuosity of 1.2 to 1.5 .
Sinuosity sometimes exceeds 1.5 in these settings. Given the high bedload supplied by the steep
mountainous headwaters in the Vermont portion of the watershed, it is likely that some reaches
of White Creek historically supported braided channel forms, particularly near the inflection
point in the valley near the state line.
 Every reach of White Creek in New York has been heavily manipulated in the past. These
manipulations include channel straightening and relocation, bank armoring, berms and levees,
clearing of riparian vegetation, channel dredging, and others. The resulting planform of White
Creek is very different from its original state, with sinuosity less than 1.2 in most reaches, and
stream type departures observed in 3 of the 7 reaches, indicating a severe departure from the
reference condition.
 Floodplain connectivity, as measured by the ability of a 2-year flood to access the adjacent
benches or low floodplain, ranged from poor to good along the corridor. Areas with the most
restricted floodplain access due to berms and levees along the channel include Reach 3
upstream of Blind Buck Road, and Reach 7 downstream of the NY Route 153 crossing.
 Channel evolution stages indicated a high bedload channel that is aggrading following the large
floods of the last 20 years; however further field observations would be required to verify these
conditions.

4 .0 Hydrologic Analysis
This section provides a summary of the hydrologic data analysis used to estimate flood flows for
different recurrence intervals in the White Creek watershed. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has
never operated a continuous gage in the watershed. Therefore, the records available to complete this
analysis include USGS regional regressions and gage records.
4.1 Review of USGS Regional Regressions We used USGS Regional Regression for three (3) regions to calculate flow rates in the White Creek
watershed at a range of recurrence intervals: 1.5-year (bankfull), 2-year, 10-year, 25-year, 50-year,
100-year, and 500-year (abbreviated as Q1.5, Q2, etc). The USGS Streamstats program enables a user
to quickly calculate flow rates at numerous locations within a watershed, based on the point location
for the watershed delineation. The Streamstats program utilizes the regional hydrologic regressio n
equation based on the location of the watershed delineation point.
White Creek in Salem, NY is located within hydrologic region 1 for New York State. Approximately half
of the 49 square mile watershed is located in Vermont, and at the state line the upstream watershed
is approximately 23 square miles. The portion of the watershed draining through the Village of Salem
is approximately 35.8 square miles. We tested the Streamstats calculations at the state line by
calculating recurrence interval flows based on a watershed drawn in NY (using Region 1 regressions)
and a watershed drawn immediately upstream using the VT regressions. This yielded results with
significantly larger flows predicted from the Vermont regression. Salem is located near the southern
boundary of NY hydrologic region 1 (see Figure 1 in Appendix 1); therefore we also calculated flows
using the regression equations for NY hydrologic region 2 (Table 4.1). Each regional calculation
utilizes a different set of calculation variables shown below:
NY Region 1: Q100 = 10,300 * (Drainage Area)0.96 * (Basin Storage + 1)-0.202 * (Annual Rainfall)1.106 *
(Basin Lag Factor + 1)-0.539 * (Basin Forested Area + 80)-1.638
NY Region 2: Q100 = 52.3 * (Drainage Area)0.9 * (Basin Storage + 5)-0.918 * (Basin Lag Factor +1)-0.461
* (Mean Annual Runoff)1.104
Vermont: Q100 = 0.251 * (Drainage Area)0.854 * (Basin Wetland Area)-0.297 * (Annual Rainfall)1.809
The rainfall and runoff estimates for the NY regressions were generated from a 1951-1980 dataset
(R andall, 1996; Lumia et al., 2006). The Vermont regressions were recently updated and utilize a
1981-2010 rainfall dataset from the PRISM Group at Oregon State University (Olson, 2014). The data
sources used for the NY Region 1 and Vermont regressions have a large difference in mean annual
rainfall estimates for the watershed draining to the VT/NY border (40.3 inches from Randall; 55.3
inches from PRISM Group). Both rainfall datasets indicate an area of increased annual rainfall in the
headwaters south of Rupert (see Figures 2 and 3 in Appendix 1); however the Randall estimate (45
inches) is much lower than the PRISM estimate (63.7 inches). This is likely due to a combination of
data quality/resolution and a well documented trend of increased annual precipitation depth in the
region in recent decades (Stager and Thill, 2010). The PRISM dataset predicts a mean annual rainfall

4.2 Review of USGS Regional Gages
We compared the regression equation flow estimates to recurrence interval flows described for USGS
gaging stations in New York, Vermont, Massachusetts, and Connecticut (Lumia et al., 2006; Olson,
2014). We identified 20 USGS gaging stations that were similar to White Creek in Salem NY based on
the following characteristics: drainage area, slope, rainfall, wetlands, and basin land cover (see Figure
1 in Appendix 1). From these we selected a subset of 11 gages which best matched the White Creek
basin characteristics and are either currently operational or recently decommissioned (Table 4.2). Table

4.3 Hydrologic Analysis Summary Estimating flood discharges for different recurrence intervals in the White Creek watershed in
Vermont and New York is challenging for the following reasons:
 White Creek has never had a long term USGS gage to measure continuous discharge.
 White Creek straddles two very different landscapes: steep, mountainous terrain in Vermont
where orographic rainfall is common and annual precipitation may exceed 60 inches; lower
elevation terrain in New York where annual precipitation totals are typically less than 35
inches.
 The USGS hydrologic region where White Creek is found – Region 1 – spans a vast area of
upstate New York. The average parameter values used to developed flow regressions across
this large region may not be appropriate for the White Creek watershed. Region 2 estimates
may be more appropriate for White Creek.
Our extensive review of the USGS regressions and gages in the region suggests that the flood flow
estimates used by NYSDOT and Washington County for evaluating the hydraulic capacity of bridge
openings likely underestimate the range of possible flows in the watershed. For example, the value
used by the State and the County for the 100-year flow at the Village of Salem has been in the range
of 3,500 to 3,700 cfs. Our analysis suggests that the range of flows for this event likely falls between
5,000 cfs and 6,000 cfs. Our hydraulic analysis using a HEC-RAS model and high water marks from
Tropical Storm Irene (2011) suggests that we are within this range, as described in further detail in
the following section.

5 .0 Hydraulic Analysis
The wide river valley though the Town of Salem and the associated roads, railroad, buildings, and
bridges created a complex environment for hydraulic modeling. Extensive field verification and
survey was required to understand the flooding dynamics within the study area. Documentation of
Tropical Storm Irene damage and flooding extents collected by the Salem Flood Study Committee
was invaluable for calibrating
the hydraulic model and
improving the overall accuracy
of the study.
HEC-GeoRAS and HEC-RAS 4.1
software were used to create a
one-dimensional river and
floodplain hydraulics model for
White Creek from the Route 153
bridge in Vermont downstream
to the confluence with Blind
Buck Brook. A floodplain digital
elevation model (DEM) was
created for the study area using
high-resolution LiDAR elevation
surfaces from a dataset covering
the Hudson, Hoosic, and
Deerfield basins collected by
FEMA in 2012. We converted
the DEM from meters to feet
and used it to create a
Triangulated Irregular Network
(TIN). The TIN is an alternate method for representing the elevation surface that is much easier and
faster to process for hydraulic modeling purposes.
The HEC-GeoRAS model was set up by first digitizing the stream centerline and the top of each bank.
We constructed the hydraulic model as a single reach for the 48,300 foot long study area. The next
step was to classify the land cover and the associated roughness values (Mannings N values) for the
channel and floodplain areas. Based on 2014 aerial imagery, we manually traced areas of different
land cover and assigned roughness values ranging from 0.035 (gravel bottom stream channel) to 0.08
(forest) following Chow (1959) and Arcement et al. (1989). Next, cross-sections were drawn
perpendicular to channel and floodplain flow stretching across the valley to contain all areas of
overbank flow (Figure 5.1). HEC-GeoRas allows the user to “slice” cross-sections across the floodplain
and channel and the software automatically samples the DEM to create an accurate 3D lateral profile
of the floodplain.

5.1 Field Survey Field verification of important floodplain features and road crossings was completed for the entire
study area in February and March, 2016. This is very important when constructing a large hydraulic
model based on LiDAR derived DEMs which are inherently less accurate in areas of steep slope
transitions,
at bridges and along road embankments where the DEM is sometimes adjusted to reflect
the “bare earth” condition, and sometimes in areas with dense coniferous tree cover. LiDAR
technology also has limited ability to penetrate water, therefore channel bottom and channel bank
elevations in the DEM are typically less accurate than elevations along the floodplain. The LiDAR data
are processed to remove the elevation of vegetation, buildings, bridges, etc. to create a surface that
represents the “bare earth” elevation. Bridge dimensions and accurate channel and bank elevations
and dimensions are critical components for HEC-RAS modeling. For each of the 17 bridges in the
study area we surveyed upstream and downstream sections, high and low chords, spans, and
heights. A licensed surveyor from MSK collected detailed survey around all major roadway bridges
within the study area using a Sprectra Precision Epoch 50 equipped with RTK smart rover. Staff from
FEA collected additional survey for railroad and private road bridges and collected channel bottom
and bank elevation surveys using a CST-Berger® 32x SAL Automatic Level (+ 1.0mm accuracy @ 1km
run) and standard survey rods. Horizontal data such as top of bank and bridge opening dimensions
were collected using a handheld Ashtech MobileMapper™ M100 Series GPS device (sub half-meter
accuracy). Channel bottom elevations were surveyed along any HEC-RAS cross-sections that were
visible from the bridges. 5.2 Modeling Details
The output file generated from HEC-GeoRAS can be directly opened in HEC-RAS 4.1. Given the scale
of the project and the width of the cross-sections, we had to manually check each “sliced” cross-
section for accuracy and make adjustments as needed. Typical adjustments included bank station
locations and smoothing of elevations around buildings and areas of dense vegetation. Channel
bottom elevations were checked and adjusted in any areas that were field surveyed. Typical channel
bottom adjustments ranged from 0.5 to 2 feet based on canopy density and water depth. We also
plotted the channel longitudinal profile and looked for any unnatural slope changes. Channel width
and bank profile were typically very accurate based on field measurements, LiDAR floodplain
elevations were unchanged except in areas of dense development.
We included a total of 89 cross-sections in the model with added detail around bridges and
important areas for overbank flow and past flood damage. The rail bed and roads through most of
the study area create important lateral flow boundaries and were challenging to represent with a
one-dimensional model. We utilized a combination of levees to block off areas where flooding has
not been observed, and ineffective flow areas (both permanent and non-permanent ) to reduce the
volume of water that can be conveyed through an area that does flood. The latter approach was
used to reduce the volume that is conveyed in the model to best represent downslope flow
restrictions (Figure 5.2). Permanent structures (houses, barns, etc.) were digitized in ArcGIS and
added to the GeoRAS database as obstructions.

5.3 Model Calibration
We created an existing conditions plan and ran a steady flow model simulation with a mixed flow
regime. The estimated discharges for different flood recurrence intervals were calculated from a
series of regional regressions and from comparison to nearby USGS gaging stations in watersheds
with similar size, slope, and rainfall (see Section 4). Flow change locations were designated at six (6)
points along White Creek to adjust flows based on upstream drainage areas (Table 5.1); the flow
change locations were generally located at tributary junctions. After generating water surface
elevations and extents we fine-tuned the model with additional levees and ineffective flow area
adjustments. The water surface elevations were calibrated to known high water marks and to
estimated inundation extents from direct flood observations, photographs,
and a series of maps and
flooding descriptions provided by the Salem Flood Study Group. Two high water marks were
surveyed near the Route 22 bridge and the Archibald Street bridge, providing valuable data for
improving the model in this critical area.

area (green hashed lines) reduces the amount of floodplain available for conveyance until the
water surface is high enough to flow over Route 153.

The estimated 100-year flood discharge from our hydrologic analysis (5,600 cfs), when routed through
the existing conditions model, aligns well with observed water levels and flooding extents during the
2011 Tropical Storm Irene flood on White Creek, both in the Village and upstream (see maps in
Appendix B). In addition, we ran a simulation that accounted for partial debris blockage (approximately
50%) of the Archibald Street bridge opening and channel aggradation (approximately 1-2 ft) in the
Village, based on observations provided by the Town and the Flood Study Group. The results from this
simulation indicated high water elevation agreement within 2 inches at the two high water marks in the
Village. It is reasonable to assume that Tropical Storm Irene was between a 50-year and 100-year flood
on White Creek, as a USGS review of the annual exceedance probabilities (AEP) on gages in Vermont and
New York classified the 2011 flood as a 100-year flood (or greater) in most basins in southern Vermont
(Suro
et al., 2015). We reviewed the 4 gages nearest and surrounding the White Creek watershed and
found that the average AEP exceeded the 2% flood (i.e., 50-year flood).

6.0 Flood Mitigation Alternatives Analysis and Feasibility Studies
6.1 Upstream Alternatives We used the results of our geomorphic, hydrologic, and hydraulic analyses to identify potential flood
resiliency opportunities along the White Creek corridor upstream of Salem Village. We began by
reviewing the projects highlighted in the 2012 CT Male report (CT Male, 2012) to ensure that past
work was not duplicated. The sites we evaluated represent a wide spectrum of near-term and long-
term project types. The primary focus was on flood resiliency for transportation infrastructure; we
explored opportunities for larger bridge openings, roadway embankment stabilization compatible
with river stability, and other practices highlighted in the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources
Standard River Principles and Practices (Schiff et al., 2015). In addition, with the objective of
ameliorating the historical impacts of channel straightening, berming, and other encroachments on
the surge of floodwaters in Salem (Figure 6.1), we explored flood flow attenuation opportunities for
moderate floods including berm removals to reconnect severed floodplains, improvement of
drainage beneath the rail bed to reconnect adjacent floodplains, and riparian buffer restoration.
Our hydraulic analysis of the White Creek corridor indicated that there are greater opportunities to
mitigate flooding depths and extents during moderate floods, as the flooding is not nearly as
extensive in comparison to large floods (i.e., 2011 Irene flood). The moderate floods, those which
have a 10-20% chance of occurring on any given year, occur on a frequency that regularly affect
residents’ lives and property. The sites we prioritized and explored in further detail are shown in
Figure 6.2 on the following page.

Evaluation of White Creek Bridge Flood Capacity
Our upstream analysis included an evaluation of bridge flood capacity for all
17 public and private
bridges on White Creek. Using our detailed hydraulic model, we evaluated the capacity of bridges to
pass flood discharge associated with each flood frequency without increasing flooding to adjacent
properties. In some cases the water elevation associated with a flood event is estimated to be near or
above the low chord of the bridge deck without increased risk of flooding to adjacent properties (e.g.,
2-year flood for Archibald Street bridge). In these cases, this flood discharge was assumed to be the
maximum capacity of the bridge. A summary of key observations from this analysis is provided below
to go along with Figure 6.3 on the following page.
 Only 2 bridges can safely pass the estimated 100-year flood without increasing flooding to
adjacent property.
 10 of the 17 bridges have capacity to safely pass the 10-year flood or less, indicating that
most bridges on White Creek are hydraulically undersized by county and state standards.
 All railroad bridges have a capacity of the 10-year flood or less.
 There are 3 severely undersized bridges in Salem Village: Route 22, Archibald Street, and the
downstream railroad bridge (RR-1) . These constrictions aggravate the problem of sediment
aggradation in the channel by slowing floodwater velocity and causing gravel and sand
bedload to deposit through the Village, thereby increasing flood vulnerability to properties in
the Village.
 Archibald Street bridge is severely hydraulically undersized; further detailed information
about the capacity of this bridge is provided in Section 6.2.
 Railroad Bridge #5 in West Rupert, a bridge over the rail trail, is severely undersized. The
reference bankfull channel width at this crossing is 53 feet; the structure span is 23 feet and
is poorly aligned with the channel. In addition, the abutment scour protection on the south
bank further constricts the channel. This undersized bridge causes channel backwater during
large floods and contributes to overbank flow along the southeast side of the railroad tracks
(see Section page 37 for further detail about this problematic structure).
 These assessments of flood capacity assume “clear flow” hydraulics, i.e., they do not account
for sediment and debris accumulation upstream or within the bridge opening during flood
events. Therefore the capacity at bridges prone to sediment aggradation and debris clogging,
such as the Archibald Street bridge, is likely lower during moderate and large flood events.

Alternative 1: Floodplain Reconnection Upstream (East) of Blind Buck Road
Berms are found on the east and west banks along a farm field east of Route 153 and upstream of Blind Buck Road (Figures 6.4 and 6.5 ). The
berms vary between 2 to 4 feet tall and restrict access to floodplains in agricultural use along both banks. During large flood events such as Irene
in 2011, flow jumps out of bank at a bend in the stream between sections 14432 and 14897. However, the berms partially restrict access to a
large floodwater storage area under moderate flood conditions. We estimate these floodplains contain approximately 1,500,000 cubic feet of
storage, or 4% of the approximate 10-year flood volume. Reconnecting these floodplains for moderate floods would not appear to increase flood
vulnerability to improved property in the immediate vicinity, and would serve to dampen the flood wave downstream in Salem. This work would
require an estimated 1,800 cubic yards of excavation and easements from the farmer. The ability of the floodplain to slow the velocity of out of
bank flow would be significantly enhanced by taking this farmland out of production and re-establishing native woody vegetation, however this
would come at a significant loss to the farmer, perhaps beyond an amount a permanent conservation easement would reasonably cover.

Alternative 2: Beatty Hollow Bridge Retrofit or Replacement
The Beatty Hollow crossing of White Creek is located at a natural pinch in the valley where bedrock ledge is found on the bounding slopes to the
east and west. Our hydraulic modeling of large floods suggests that this pinch point in the valley causes depths exceeding 12 feet upstream of
the Beatty Hollow Road bridge (see page 7 of Appendix 2). During a large flood, water has to squeeze between the valley walls and through the
current clear bridge span of 44 feet; this has caused road embankment erosion in past floods (Figure 6.6). We evaluated how a bridge span
approximating the reference bankfull width (see Figure 6.7) would change local hydraulics and potentially reduce the volume of water leaving
the channel upstream, and reduce the risk of embankment failure. Our analysis indicates that a bankfull span with the same height as the
existing structure would lower the 100-year flood elevation by 2.7 feet (Figure 6.8), thereby reducing flooding at the adjacent house to the east.
A span of this size may also help to reduce out of bank flows upstream of the railroad bridge which get trapped along the west side of Route 153
to the south a nd exacerbate flooding downstream near the Village. Channel velocity during large floods would be reduced by as much as 25%,
reducing the vulnerability of the Route 153 and Beatty Hollow Road embankments to erosion failure.
Figure 6. 6 : Looking west at upstream approach of White Creek to
Beatty Hollow Bridge. Note the embankment armor from repairs
following the 2000 flood, and the steep bedrock slope in the
background. The western abutment was moved toward Route 153 in
1999 to increase the clear span from 35 feet to 44 feet . Figure 6. 7 : Upstream face of Beatty Hollow bridge showing the existing 100 – year flood

A more immediate solution to increasing the hydraulic capacity of the bridge opening is to remove a constriction caused by riprap armor at the
downstream side of the bridge (Figure 6.9). We estimate this riprap is obstructing the downstream hydraulic opening by 10-15%. This
encroachment causes further channel constriction to approximately 35 feet. This armor does not appear to be protecting critical infrastructure;
The stone could be repositioned to create more of a stacked stone wall to protect the road pull-off while eliminating the encroachment. Figure 6. 9 : View of Beatty Hollow Bridge
opening from upstream (taken by Evan
Fitzgerald, May, 2016). Note the riprap
stone projec ting out into the channel at

In the long term a realignment of the road crossing would significantly improve the hydraulic capacity of this pinch point in the valley. Figure
6.10 illustrates a possible realignment of the road intersection; this would need to be evaluated further by the County to ensure safety with
respect to traffic patterns and sight distances. The realignment would reduce the sharp bend in the channel immediately upstream of the
current bridge opening. In addition, the west bank upstream of the bridge could be lowered in elevation (hatched area) to allow for some
overbank conveyance, thereby improving the hydraulics upstream of the structure. Finally, if a more comprehensive flood resiliency project i s
considered in the future with the bridge realignment, the removal of the railroad embankment upstream (north) of the bridge may also provide
additional flood reduction benefits. Removal of the railroad embankment would allow floodwaters leaving the channel upstream of the next
upstream railroad bridge to rejoin the main channel near Beatty Hollow Road, assuming the headwater depth is reduced with a large span. This
could alleviate flooding downstream in the Village by reducing the volume of water crossing Route 153 to the west.

Alternative 3: County Road 153 Unstable Embankment near Braymer Road
This site was addressed in 2012 as part of the post-flood recovery work planned and
engineered by CT Male for the Town and Village of Salem. The purpose of the
project was to reconnect an abandoned meander to the east (Figure 6.12), which
would lead to lower flood flow velocity and erosion risk along Route 153. The
abandoned channel is currently steeper than the reconnected meander; the
reconnected meander dissipates energy over a longer run. The diversion weir at the
upstream end has likely exacerbated erosion along the Route 153 embankment
(Figure 6.14), as it has further steepened the head of an already over-steepened
channel, leading to higher flood velocities (Figure 6.11). To prevent further erosion
along the embankment, we propose bank armor in conjunction with grade control in
the channel adjacent the road either in the form of 2-3 discrete weirs or vanes
(Figure 6.13), or naturalized bed armor to raise the channel grade at or near the
adjacent meander channel.

Alternative 4: Floodplain Reconnection Downstrea m (West) of Chambers Road
A berm stretches along the south bank downstream from the Chambers Road bridge and adjacent railroad bridge for approximately 900 ft,
extending beyond cross-section 22800 (Figures 6.15 and 6.16). The berm is typically 1.5ft tall and restricts access to a 5 acre floodplain in
agricultural use that is bounded by the railroad to the east. In addition, the railroad bed severs a portion of the floodplain to the east. These
combined areas represent approximately 530,000 cubic feet of floodplain storage. Reconnecting these floodplains for moderate floods would
not increase flood vulnerability to improved property in the immediate vicinity (i.e., out of bank flows would return to the channel safely without
affecting residences), and would serve to dampen the flood wave downstream in Salem. This work would require an estimated 8,600 cubic yards
of excavation and easements from the farmer. The ability of the floodplain to slow the velocity of out of bank flow would be significantly
enhanced by taking this farmland out of production and re-establishing native woody vegetation to increase floodplain roughness.

floodplain storage, which represents approximately 1% of the runoff volume in this flood event. Railroad bed Berm along edge

Alternative 5: Floodplain Reconnection Upstream (East) of Railroad Bridge #4
Berms are found along the north bank along a farm field west of the Route 153 crossing (Figures 6.17 and 6.18). The berms vary between 2 to 5
feet tall and restrict access to a large floodplain in agricultural use that is bounded by Route 153 to the west. During large flood events such as
Irene, flow jumps out of bank at a low point along the channel at Section 34583. However, the berms restrict access to a large floodwater
storage area under moderate flood conditions. We estimate this floodplain contains approximately 1,400,000 cubic feet of storage, or 4% of the
approximate 10-year flood volume. Reconnecting these floodplains for moderate floods would not appear to increase flood vulnerability to
improved property in the immediate vicinity, and would serve to dampen the flood wave downstream in Salem. This work would require an
estimated 4,000 cubic yards of excavation and easements from the farmer. The ability of the floodplain to slow the velocity of out of bank flow
would be significantly enhanced by taking this farmland out of production and re-establishing native woody vegetation.

Alternative 6: County Route 153 Bridge Upstream Constriction
An old laid up stone abutment upstream of the Route 153 bridge constricts the channel (Figure 6.19), aggravating out of bank flows and flooding
of adjacent properties to the south and east during large floods. The bridge has an estimated capacity of the 10-year flood, and the constriction
further reduces the channel capacity. The bankfull channel upstream and downstream of the bridge ranges from 30 to 35 feet, while the
constriction at the abutment is approximately 20 feet. There is good machinery access to remove the stone (approximately 90 cubic yards) from
a private gravel road west of Route 153. A temporary easement from the landowner would be needed as the stone is likely outside of the road
right- of-way. Figure 6. 19 : View of County
Route 153 Bridge opening

Alternative 7: Lowering of Railroad Bed and Removal of Culvert at Lenhardt Residence
During large floods water is diverted out of the bank in West Rupert at the rail trail bridge and gets trapped on the east side of the rail bed.
Ponded water south of the Atwater farm cannot easily return to the White Creek channel after the floodwaters recede due to limited capacity
through a 30-inch culvert. Lowering a portion of the rail bed around the culvert will provide additional relief back to the Creek, thereby relieving
trapped floodwaters and reducing prolonged flooding of homes. Figure 6. 20 : View north along rail bed where a dit ch
crosses through a 30 – inch culvert (taken by Evan
Fitzgerald, May, 2016).

Alternative 8: Replace Undersized Railroad Bridge #5
The rail trail bridge in West Rupert in severely undersized and poorly aligned, and contributes to out of bank flows during large floods.
Floodwaters get trapped on the south side of the rail bed and cannot return to the Creek. The current bridge span is 23 feet. The bridge span
should be at least 50 feet to match the channel bankfull width. In addition, riprap stone placed along the south bank along the toe of the new
abutment appea rs to have been placed for scour protection, however this further constricts the channel. Figure 6.22: View west at upstream end
of rail trail bridge in Rupert. The

Brook is just downstream in the photo

6.2 Salem Village Alternatives We created two different HEC-RAS geometry files to model small floods (Q2-Q10) and large floods
(Q50-Q500) in the Village of Salem. Levees and ineffective flow areas specific to flood depth were
required in many areas to control flood extents across the variable topography in the very wide river
valley. The two existing geometry files were used as the basis for a series of alternatives models to
evaluate flood mitigation options .
Most of the Village-specific alternatives we considered had only minimal flood risk reduction in the
large floods (Q100) in comparison to the more frequent moderate floods (Q5 or Q10). This is due to
the simple fact that during a very large flood a significant portion of the Village along White Creek is
inundated, and there are fewer practical opportunities besides extensive property buyouts to
significantly reduce flood risk. Whereas, during the moderate floods there are greater opportunities
to mitigate the flooding depths and extents, as the flooding is not nearly as extensive. The moderate
floods, those which have a 10-20% chance of occurring on any given year, occur on a frequency that
affects residents’ lives with enough regularity that we chose to focus our efforts on mitigating these
floods.
We selected the 10-year flood, with a modeled discharge of 2,844 cfs, as the representative flood to
analyze mitigation opportunities in the Village. The alternatives analysis for the Village included six
(6) types of channel and floodplain modifications which were investigated for flood depth and
velocity reductions both independently and iteratively (Table 6.1 and Figure 6.23 ). All alternatives
were compared to the “do nothing” alternative, and the incremental flood risk reduction with each
added intervention was reviewed. A series of flood depth maps for key alternatives is provided in
Appendix 3, and each alternative is described in greater detail in the following sections. Table 6.1 : Summary of channel and floodplain modifications from Village alternatives analysis.

Alternative 2
This scenario involves the removal of berms along the south bank extending from the end of Park Place to the railroad crossing. Berm removal
will restore access to a large floodplain during small to medium sized flood events. The berms are typically 1.5-2.5 f eet tall and are continuous
except for a small break near the railroad (Figures 6.24 and 6.25). The berms total approximately 1,200ft in length and we estimate the total
berm volume to be 1,000-1,400 CY. Coordination with the owner (Woody Hill Farms) would be required. In talking with staff from the
Washington County Soil and Water Conservation District, we understand that the farmer placed these berms along the river to prevent overflow
on to the crop fields and reduce erosion. However, this has the effect of creating tailwater in small and moderate floods (Figure 6.25), before the
berms are overtopped, exacerbating flooding on the west end of the Village.

Alternative 2a
This scenario involves the removal of berms along the south bank extending from the end of Park Place to the railroad crossing and deepening
the channel from the Route 22 bridge through cross-section 7117. We estimate the channel has aggraded approximately 1-2 feet of gravel and
sand through this section compared to pre-Irene conditions (Figure 6.26). This is supported by the 2005 County site plans for the construction of
the Archibald bridge, which indicate a maximum clearance of 7.5 feet at the upstream face of the bridge in 2005 in comparison to 6 feet
currently . Some minor bank shaping may be required to maintain stable bank slopes of no greater than 2H:1V as the channel bed is excavated.
We estimate that approximately 3,000-4,000 CY of material would be removed over the 2,200 foot length of channel, in addition to the berm
removal volume described in Alternative 2. Figure 6.26 : Channel deepening
to increase capacity from Route
22 to Archibald Street. The
magenta line s represent the
proposed channel bottom (solid)
and 10 – year flood profile

surf ace water elevation does not
overtop the Archibald bridge
following channel deepening,
however flooding upstream of
the bridge is not reduced.

Fitzgerald Environmental Associates, LLC
White Creek Infrastructure Flood Vulnerability Study
42
Alternatives 3, 3a, and 4
Alternatives 3 and 4 include removing the Archibald Street bridge and the north abutment to increase channel width and capacity. The bridge is
currently a significant obstruction to flows at or above the 2-year event (Figure 6.27). Tailwater from the constricted channel increases water
surface elevation upstream to the Route 22 bridge in large events. Water surface elevations for the 10-year flood are predicted to drop 1 to 1.5
feet during moderate floods at cross-section 8062 following bridge removal. This would significantly decrease the number of vulnerable homes
along Archibald Street, Nichols Street, and Park Place during moderate storm events. Alternative 4 includes the removal of the downstream
berms and is predicted to further reduce water surface elevations during the 10-year storm by approximately 0.5 to 1ft at the west end of the
Village. Berm removal further reduces water surface elevations through the farm fields and allows the 10-year storm to pass through the
railroad bridge below the low chord. Alternative 3a does not remove the bridge and includes a 20ft wide by 5ft tall concrete box culvert installed
under Archibald Street immediately north of the bridge. Based on the hydraulic model, the box culvert will achieve the same flood water
elevation reductions as bridge removal in Alternative 3. It is important to note that bridge removal will reduce the risk debris catchment during
storms and will likely improve sediment transport. Adding a second hydraulic opening (culvert) may actually increase debris catchment risk over
the current configuration. We estimate that alternative 3a will require approximately 1,500CY of excavation to create the overflow channel
through the culvert. Additional heavy stone armoring will be recommended for the banks of the overflow channel to protect adjacent properties
and the bridge abutment. Figure 6.27 : Archibald Street bridge at capacity during
the Christmas 2014 flood which we estimated to be an
approximate 1 – year flood, based on records from
nearby USGS gages for this event . Our hydraulic model
indicates that a discharge between the 1 – year flood
estimate ( 1,250 cfs) and the 2 – year flood estimate
( 1,400 cfs) will exceed the current capacity of the
opening. This is further evidence that our model aligns
well with large and small flood hydraulics in the Village .

Alternatives 5 and 6
Alternatives 5 and 6 include berm removal, channel deepening, and bank cuts to create flood benches. The flood benches are located below the
predicted 2-year flow elevation and increase the available channel and floodplain width during the 2-year and 5-year floods from 40-70 feet to
90-120 feet. The bank cuts between Route 22 and Archibald are typically 20-40 feet wide on the north bank. A larger cut is proposed at cross-
section 7117, where the channel is currently very narrow and along the berm (Figures 6.28 and 6.29). These widths are well above the predicted
bankfull width for White Creek based on the NY Region 1 regressions, however it is important to increase available floodplain given the repeat
flood damage through the Village and the current lack of undeveloped floodplain. Bank cuts will require the removal of approximately 90 large
trees that are currently along the top of the north bank in between Route 22 and Archibald Street. The design plans will require dense plantings
of native trees and fast growing shrub species (i.e., willows) along the flood bench and the banks. We estimate that the bank cuts will require
approximately 5,500-6,500 CY of excavation in addition to the 4,000-5,000 CY described in Alternative 2a for channel deepening.

Alternative 7
Alternative 7 includes the berm removal, channel deepening, and bank cuts described in Alternative 6 with the addition of a large floodplain cut
centered on the current Archibald bridge location. The existing floodplain area along the north bank of White Creek approaching the Archibald
bridge is somewhat elevated and we predict that it is only accessed during storm events larger than the 2-year flow (Figure 6.30). Unfortunately
there is little relief between the floodplain elevation and adjacent houses, therefore floodplain access is likely associated with property damage.
The proposed floodplain cut will lower the elevation of the floodplain by approximately 2 feet and extend 90-100 from the current river bank.
This cut will require the removal of the house at 41 Archibald St and the removal of approximately 110 ft of roadway extending to the north of
the bridge (Figure 6.31). The new floodplain will be accessible at the 2-year storm and is predicted to reduce flood depths upstream to the Route
22 bridge by 0.2 to 0.6 feet compared to Alternative 6, and approximately 2 feet of flood elevation reduction compared to Alternative 1. We
estimate that Alternative 7 will require approximately 3,500-4,000 CY of excavation in addition to Alternative 6.

7 .0 Conclusions and Recommendations
The White Creek corridor has been historically manipulated along most of its length from West
Rupert into Salem, leading to increased flood vulnerability in the Village of Salem. The lack of
historical flow monitoring on White Creek and the highly modified channel and floodplain made it
challenging to estimate watershed flood hydrology and model river corridor hydraulics. We put
significant effort into the hydrologic and hydraulic analysis to develop a sound basis for evaluating
flood mitigation alternatives in Salem. The hydraulic model served as a tool for this evaluation, and
can be used and refined in the future to support subsequent steps such as engineering design, grant
applications, and permitting. Below we suggest next steps for the communities in the watershed to
move this planning process forward, including project and planning recommendations.
7.1 Next Steps As part of the ongoing community discussion regarding flood resiliency planning in the White Creek
watershed, we recommend the following steps to incorporate the community’s input i nto the final
prioritization and advance the projects over time:
 Solicit input from individuals, businesses, and officials from the Towns of Salem and Rupert at
future community meetings regarding specific projects and overall project prioritization.
 Prioritize one to two projects to pursue each year with assistance from WCDPW, A/GFTC, and
other participating groups to identify appropriate funding sources and partners.
 Apply for one to two grants each year to advance project development and/or designs.
 Implement projects as funding allows, and monitor project success.
7.2 Project and Planning Recommendations  Improving hydraulic capacity at the Archibald Street crossing, either by removing the bridge
deck and north abutment or installing an overflow box culvert, should be a priority for reducing
flood vulnerability in Salem Village.
 Sediment management options for the White Creek channel in Salem Village should be explore d
in further detail in the near-term to reduce flood vulnerability in the Village. This will require
additional survey work to set benchmarks for long-term monitoring and aggradation levels that
trigger maintenance, and extensive coordination with NYDEC, USACE, and other stakeholders to
ensure impacts to aquatic habitat and downstream water quality are minimized.
 Floodplain restoration and reconnection projects upstream of the Village are a priority for
reducing flood vulnerability in the long-term. Our modeling indicates that floodplain
reconnections totaling 10% of the volume of a moderate flood (i.e., 10-year flood), could reduce
the peak discharge in Salem Village by as much as 25%. The three (3) upstream floodplain
reconnection projects we scoped in this study could cumulatively achieve this reduction over
the long-term.
 River science needs to be better incorporated into future public infrastructure projects in the
watershed to ensure proper sizing and scour protection measures for bridges and roadway
stabilization.

Fitzgerald Environmental Associates, LLC
White Creek Infrastructure Flood Vulnerability Study
48

To further identify and evaluate upstream floodplain restoration and reconnection
opportunities, we recommend a field-based geomorphic study and river corridor plan for the
White Creek reaches in Salem to complement similar work in the Vermont portion of the
watershed. This work would follow the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources Protocols
referenced in this report (VTANR, 2009; VTANR, 2010).
 There is a need for better coordination amongst partners working in the watershed, including
the towns, A/GFTC, WCDPW, USFWS, Trout Unlimited, and Battenkill Watershed Alliance. The
need for this coordination is two-fold: 1. to ensure that habitat enhancement work (i.e., weirs)
does not increase flood vulnerability for nearby homes, farmland, and infrastructure; 2. To
ensure that public infrastructure and flood mitigation projects summarized in this report are
conducted in a way to minimize impacts to aquatic habitat and downstream water quality.

Infrastructure
●0.5 – 1ft●●Difficult
$100K-150K2-3 yearsNYDEC; USACE

Berms along both banks restrict access to floodplains on both sides of river during 10-year floods and greater. Approximately 33 acre-ft of floodplain storage could be reconnected for moderate floods. Berm removal would require excavation of approximately 1,800CY of material along the banks, with some tree removal likely. Temporary and permanent easements with farm owner would be needed.

●N/A●●Difficult

$500K (replacement);
$10K-$15K (improve
opening)

2-3 years
(replacement);
<1 year (improve opening) NYDEC; USACE Widening clear span to predicted bankfull width of 65 feet (from USGS regression) and realigning opening would lower flood depths during large floods by 3 feet or more, reducing risk of neaby flooding and erosion along the road embankment. A temporary solution to increasing capacity involves removing a downstream constriction caused by existing bank riprap projecting into the channel (approximately 60CY). Alternative 3: Unstable Embankment along County Road 153 near Braymer Road County Transportation Infrastructure ○N/A●●Moderate$60K-$75K 1-2 yearsNYDEC; USACE The well intentioned Irene recovery work to reconnect an abandoned meander made the Rt 153 embankment more vulnerable to erosion by increasing floodwater velocity over the upstream diversion weir. Embankment armoring and grade control with large stone (approximately 220CY) would protect the roadway during future flood events. Alternative 4: Floodplain Reconnection Downstream (West) of Chambers Road Businesses, Farms, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure ●0.5 – 1ft●●Difficult $250K-$300K2-3 yearsNYDEC; USACE Berms and the abandoned railroad bed east of the Creek restrict access to floodplains during 10-year floods and greater. Approximately 12 acre-ft of floodplain storage could be reconnected for moderate floods. Berm removal would require excavation of approximately 8,600CY of material, with some tree removal likely along the banks. Temporary and permanent easements with farm owner would be needed. Alternative 5: Floodplain Reconnection Upstream (East) of Railroad Bridge #4 Businesses, Farms, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure ●0.5 – 1ft●●Difficult$150-$200K 2-3 yearsNYDEC; USACE Berms along the west bank restrict access to floodplains during 10-year floods and greater. Approximately 32 acre-ft of floodplain storage could be reconnected for moderate floods. Berm removal would require excavation of approximately 4,000CY of material along the banks, with some tree removal likely. Temporary and permanent easements with farm owner would be needed. Alternative 6: County Route 153 Bridge Upstream Constriction Businesses, Farms, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure )N/A))Easy$5K-$10K 1 yearNone An old laid up stone abutment upstream of the Rt 153 bridge constricts the channel, aggravating out of bank flows and flooding of adjacent property during large floods. There is good access to remove the stone (approximately 90CY) from a private gravel road west of Rt 153. A temporary easement from the landowner would be needed as the stone is likely outside the road ROW. Alternative 7: Lowering of Railroad Bed and Removal of 30-inch RCP at Lenhardt Residence Farms and Residences)N/A○)Moderate$15K-$20K1-2 yearsNYDEC; USACE During large floods water is diverted out of the bank in West Rupert at the rail trail bridge and gets trapped on the east side of the rail bed. Ponded water south of the Atwater farm cannot easily return to the White Creek channel after the floodwaters recede due to limited capacity through a 30-inch culvert. Lowering a portion of the rail bed around the culvert will provide additional relief back to the Creek. Alternative 8: Replace Undersized Railroad Bridge #5 Farms and Residences●N/A●●Difficult$150K-$200K2-3 years NYDEC; USACE; VTrans The rail trail bridge in West Rupert in severely undersized and poorly aligned, and contributes to out of bank flows during large floods. Floodwaters get trapped on the south side of the rail bed and cannot return to the Creek. The current bridge span is 23 feet. The bridge span should be at least 50 feet to match the channel bankfull width. ) ○ ● OBJECTIVES FEASIBILITY 1Reduces Flood Risk – The proposed project/strategy lowers the flood level.2Reduces Erosion Risk – The proposed project/strategy lessens the vulnerability of a location to erosion.

Total volume estimated to be 1,000-1,400 CY. Berms create minor tailwater in small to moderate floods and affects the western edge of the Village. Alternative 2a: Remove Berms Downstream of Salem Village; Deepen Channel Businesses, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure )0.5 – 1ft○○Moderate $50K-$80K1-2 yearsNYDEC; USACE Deepening the channel from the Route 22 bridge through cross-section 7117. Channel has aggraded approximately 1-2 feet compared to pre-Irene conditions. Some minor bank shaping may be required. We estimate that approximately 3,000-4,000 CY of material would be removed over the 2,200 foot length of channel. A sediment maintenance plan would need to be established in conjunction with state and federal agencies. This would requre additional channel survey work to establish benchmarks associated with levels of aggradation that increase flood vulnerability. Alternative 3 & 3a: Remove Archibald Street Bridge or Install an Overflow Box Culvert to North of Existing Bridge Businesses, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure ●1 – 1.5ft))Moderate $50K (removal); $250K-$350K (overflow culvert) 2-3 years SEQR; NYDEC; USACE For removal option, the south abutment would be left in place to accommodate a future pedestrian crossing, but the north abutment would be removed to widen the floodway. Overflow box culvert (20ft span, 5ft height) would be installed on the north bank and would require an easement from the property owner to create an overflow channel. Alternative 4: Remove Berms Downstream of Salem Village; Remove Archibald Street Bridge Businesses, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure ●1 – 1.5ft))Moderate $80K-$100K2-3 years SEQR; NYDEC; USACE See above comments. The combination of berm removal with bridge removal (or overflow box culvert) provides only marginal improvement over Alternative 3. Alternative 5: Remove Berms Downstream of Salem Village; Deepen Channel; Widen Channel with Flood Benches Businesses, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure )0.5 – 1ft))Difficult$250K-$350K 3-5 years SEQR; NYDEC; USACE Widening of the channel without Archibald Street bridge removal (or overflow culvert) provides only limited flood reduction, as the bridge constriction remains severe. This is not a viable alternative considering the high costs and limited benefits. Alternative 6: Remove Berms Downstream of Salem Village; Deepen Channel; Widen Channel with Flood Benches; Remove Archibald Street Bridge Businesses, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure ●1.5 – 2ft))Difficult$400K-$500K 3-5 years SEQR; NYDEC; USACE Easements would be required on approximately 14 properties to excavate the flood benches, primarily along the north bank in between Route 22 and Archibald Street. Many large trees lining the north bank would need to be removed. A revegetation plan would be required as part of the final design and permitting. Alternative 7: Remove Berms Downstream of Salem Village; Deepen Channel; Widen Channel with Flood Benches; Remove Archibald Street Bridge; Businesses, Residences, & County/Town Infrastructure ●1.5 – 2ft●●Difficult$500K-$700K >5 years
SEQR; NYDEC;
USACE; FEMA

See above comments. The Fleming house (41 Archibald Street) would be bought-out and demolished to allow for the re-establishment of a floodplain on the north bank. This alternative would also reduce the 100-year flood elevations in the Village 1-1.5 feet.

1.0 INTRODUCTION

A. Study Background, Overview, and Purpose

The Adirondack/Glens Falls Transportation Council (A/GFTC) initiated this study to provide a technical
analysis of the transportation system impacts associated with proposed changes in commercial zoning in
the area of the I-87 (Adirondack Northway) Interchange 18 in the Town of Queensbury, Warren County,
New York. The Commercial Intensive Exit 18 (CI-18) District proposed by the Town of Queensbury is
intended to provide for flexible development opportunities on key sites, creating economic development
while encouraging the overall improvement and appearance of these areas, including attractive building
designs and enhanced pedestrian access.

The Corinth Road/Main Street corridor, which is the primary east-west arterial route serving the study
area, was reconstructed in 2011 (PIN 1753.80). This reconstruction involved capacity and safety
enhancements including construction of a two-way center left-turn lane, intersection improvements,
pedestrian/bicycle accommodations and new traffic signal systems. The basis of design for this road
reconstruction included projections of traffic growth associated with a land development scenario within
the study area that considered more than 1.6 million square feet of new commercial and industrial uses
and approximately 1,200 new residential units. The timeline for that projected growth was 2015. The
basis of the roadway design for the reconstruction also considered additional traffic growth to a 2025
planning horizon.

This Exit 18 Rezone Study identifies the changes in traffic that has occurred over the past 10 years since
the original design studies were conducted, including documentation of traffic volumes, turning patterns,
and pedestrian/bicycle activity in the corridor, and provides analysis of traffic operations to identify the
transportation improvements recommended to support anticipated development under the proposed CI-
18 zoning.

The study includes the following:

• Land use and development assessment of properties within the rezone area
• Documentation of existing traffic volumes and transportation system operations
• Projections of future travel demand generated by development under the proposed rezone
• Identification of traffic impacts of the potential development
• Identification of mitigation alternatives and implementation strategies

B. Study Area

The project study area is located in the vicinity of the I-87 Interchange 18 with Corinth Road/Main Street
(Warren County Route 28), in the southern part of the Town (See Figure 1). The proposed CI-18 District
comprises approximately 65 acres of land around the interchange, extending north and south of Corinth
Road/Main Street from Big Bay Road (west of I-87) to Big Boom Road (east of I-87), as shown in Figure 2.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 2

The limits of the study of the transportation system extend further east to the municipal boundary of the
City of Glens Falls, and includes the following intersections (see also Figure 3):

• Corinth Road (CR28) and Big Bay Road
• Corinth Road (CR 28) and I-87 Exit 18 Southbound ramps
• Corinth Road (CR 28) and I-87 Exit 18 Northbound ramps
• Main Street (CR 28) and Big Boom Road/Media Drive
• Main Street (CR 28) and Pine Street
• Main Street (CR 28) and Richardson Street

C. Study Objectives

The objectives identified for this study are to:

• Quantify the estimated traffic impacts resulting from development allowable under the
proposed zoning changes on the function and capacity of the transportation system, including
considerations of motorized and non-motorized traffic.
• Recommend modifications to the proposed zoning changes that would allow for the
preservation of surface transportation capacity while still fostering the Town of Queensbury’s
goals to encourage desirable new development.
• Recommend conceptual transportation system improvements that would be required to
maintain acceptable transportation system operations with the forecasted development
conditions.
• Identify alternative funding mechanisms that are permissible under State and local
regulations that could be used to leverage transportation system improvements.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 5

D. Study Approach

The study approach employed to complete this technical study consisted of:

• Inventory of existing transportation and land use conditions, and environmental constraints.
• Development of future land use and transportation conditions, considering
planned/approved projects and local development trends.
• Assessment of impacts to the transportation system, and evaluation of mitigation strategies
including transportation system management, capacity enhancements, and land use
alternatives.
• Assessment of potential funding and implementation strategies.
• Town, A/GFTC and agency coordination.

This technical study is consistent with the foundational aspect of A/GFTC’s Planning Principles for planning
and program development by providing a coordinated assessment of land use and transportation. The
alternatives for mitigation strategies were similarly developed in accordance with these principles to
maximize utilization of available system capacity, and to consider mobility, access and safety for all modes
and users.

2.0 EXISTING AREA CONDITIONS
A. Roadway Network
County Route 28 is an Urban Principal Arterial and is owned and maintained by Warren County. West of
the Exit 18 interchange this road is named Corinth Road, and east of the interchange it is named Main
Street. As mentioned previously, this roadway was recently reconstructed to improve mobility and safety
for motorized and active transportation. The segment of the corridor (Corinth Road) between Big Bay
Road and the I-87 southbound ramps has a basic typical section of one 12-foot travel lane for each
direction, with a 5-ft. sidewalk on the north side of the road. The segment of the corridor through the
interchange consists of two lanes in each direction (a through travel lane and a left-turn lane in each
direction), and sidewalks on both sides of the street. East of the interchange, Main Street transitions from
the four-lane section to a three-lane section comprised of a single 14-foot shared travel lane in each
direction and a center two-way left turn lane (TWLTL). At the signalized intersections of Main Street at Big
Boom Road, Pine Street and Richardson Street, the TWLTL becomes a dedicated directional left-turn lane.
Five-foot sidewalks are provided on both sides of Main Street from the I-87 interchange to beyond the
Richardson Street limits of the study area. The posted speed limit along CR 28 throughout the study area
is 35 mph.

Main Street from I-87 to its termination at US 9 in Glens Falls is part of the National Highway System and
is a Designated Truck Access Highway in New York State. The corridor is a mix of commercial and
residential uses. With the exception of the interchange area, access to the corridor is uncontrolled,
meaning that driveway access to abutting properties is permitted.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 6

Study Area Intersections
All six of the study area intersections are controlled by multi-phased, traffic-actuated traffic signals. The
NYSDOT owns and maintains the coordinated signals at the I-87 Exit 18 northbound and southbound
ramps and at the adjacent intersection of Main Street, Big Boom Road and Media Drive. The current signal
timing and phasing plans for these intersections were obtained from NYSDOT. Although Warren County
owns and maintains the roadway infrastructure for the remaining segments of the study corridor, the
traffic signals at the three other study intersections are locally managed through an agreement between
the Town and the City of Glens Falls. The traffic signal timing and phasing data for these three locally-
managed signals was obtained by field observations. The reconstruction of the corridor included provision
for the interchange ramp signals to also operate in coordination with the signal at Big Boom Road, but
currently they do not operate in this coordinated mode.

The geometry of the intersections are as follows:

 Big Bay Road / Corinth Road – This is a “T” intersection controlled with a traffic signal. The Corinth
Road eastbound approach consists of a shared through /right-turn lane while the westbound
approach provides an exclusive left turn lane and an exclusive through lane. The Big Bay Road
northbound approach provides a shared left / right turn lane. A crosswalk with pedestrian
accommodations exists on the west leg of the intersection. The traffic signal is fully-actuated and
operates in a 3-phase sequence, including permitted/protected turn movements.

 I-87 Exit 18 Southbound (SB) Ramp / Corinth Road – This is a four-way intersection operating
under traffic signal control. The Corinth Road eastbound approach provides two exclusive
through lanes and an exclusive right turn lane while the Corinth Road westbound approach
provides an exclusive left turn lane and an exclusive through lane. I-87 Exit 18 SB Ramp approach
(north leg) provides two lanes; a shared left-turn / through lane and an exclusive right turn lane
for southbound vehicles exiting I-87 while the south leg provides a single, one-way travel lane for
vehicles to access I-87 southbound. Crosswalks and pedestrian accommodations exist on the
north and east legs of this intersection. This signal is owned and maintained by the NYSDOT and
is coordinated with the I-87 Exit 18 Northbound Ramp / Corinth Road intersection using a single
controller to mutually operate both ramp intersections.

 I-87 Exit 18 Northbound Ramp/ Corinth Road – This is a four-way intersection operating under
traffic signal control. The Corinth Road eastbound approach provides an exclusive left-turn lane
and an exclusive through lane while the Corinth Road westbound approach provides an exclusive
through lane and a shared through / right turn lane. The I-87 Exit 18 northbound approach
provides an exclusive left turn lane, a shared through / right-turn lane and an exclusive right turn
lane while the north leg provides a single, one-way travel lane for vehicles to access I-87
northbound. Crosswalks and pedestrian accommodations are provided on both the I-87 on and
off ramps. This signal is owned and maintained by the NYSDOT and is coordinated with the I-87
Exit 18 Southbound Ramp / Corinth Road intersection using a single controller to mutually operate
both ramp intersections.

 Big Boom Road / Media Drive / Main Street – This is a signalized four-way intersection. The Main
Street eastbound approach provides an exclusive left-turn lane, an exclusive through lane and a
shared through / right-turn lane. The Main Street westbound approach provides an exclusive left-
turn lane and a shared through / right-turn lane. The Big Boom northbound approach provides a

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 7

shared left-turn / through / right-turn lane while the Media Drive southbound approach provides
an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared through / right-turn lane. Crosswalks and pedestrian
accommodations exist on the north, east, and west legs of this intersection. The traffic signal is
fully-actuated and operates in a 4-phase sequence, including permitted/protected turn
movements.

 Pine Street / Main Street – This is a signalized four-way intersection. The Main Street eastbound
and westbound approaches provide an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared through / right-turn
lane. The Pine Street northbound and southbound approaches each consists of a shared left-turn
/ through / right-turn lane. The north leg (southbound approach) is offset to the east from the
south leg (northbound approach) and therefore, has split phasing for the northbound and
southbound approaches. The Speedway (formerly Hess) gas station driveway exists opposite the
Pine Street northbound approach. Crosswalks and pedestrian accommodations exist on the north
and south legs of this intersection.

 Richardson Street / Main Street – This is a signalized four-way intersection. The Main Street
eastbound and westbound approaches provide an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared through /
right-turn lane. The Richardson Street northbound and southbound approaches each consists of
a shared left-turn / through / right-turn lane. Crosswalks and pedestrian accommodations exist
on all four legs of this intersection. The traffic signal is fully-actuated and operates in an 8-phase
sequence, including permitted/protected turn movements.

B. Traffic Volumes
Traffic volume data compiled from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) Traffic
Data Viewer provides the Average Daily Traffic (ADT) on Corinth Road / Main Street as shown in Table 1:

I-87 Northbound off ramp Corinth Road 5,021 (2009) 430 543 Not provided

Traffic volumes were counted at the six study intersections to document the current volumes and patterns
of traffic movement during peak-hour conditions. These counts were conducted on Wednesday, May 20,
2015 and Thursday, May 21, 2015 for the weekday AM peak period (7 am to 9 am) and weekday PM peak
period (4 pm to 6 pm). The existing traffic volumes were summarized and a monthly seasonal adjustment
factor applied, based upon NYSDOT published factors, to reflect peak design conditions. The 2015 Existing
Design Hour Volumes (DHV) are shown on Figure 4 (next page). The two-way traffic volumes on the study
area roadways are shown on Table 2.

Trucks and other heavy vehicles comprise 4-7% of the total traffic volumes on Corinth Road / Main Street
during the AM peak hour and 3-5% during the PM peak hour. This count data is provided in Appendix A.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 10

The current 2015 DHV intersection volumes in the study area were compared to the forecasted 2015
Design Volumes that had been developed as the basis of design for the Corinth Road Reconstruction
project. The data shows that the actual volumes are lower than the volumes that were used as the design
condition for the reconstruction project. A comparison of volumes for the PM peak hour is provided in
Figure 5.

Figure 5: 2015 Intersection Volume Comparison

C. Transit Service

Greater Glens Falls Transit (GGFT)
currently operates transit service in the
study area via Bus Route 7 (West Glens
Falls). The service operates weekdays from
7:00 a.m. to 5:05 p.m. and on Saturdays
from 9:00 am to 5:10 pm, with average
service headways of approximately 2
hours. A bus stop is located at the
McDonald’s on Corinth Road, just west of
the I-87 southbound ramps, although
there is no shelter or bus turn-out.

Figure 6: GGFT Bus Route 7

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 11

D. Pedestrians and Bicyclists

A sidewalk is provided along the north side of Corinth Road/Main Street throughout the limits of the study
area. A sidewalk is also provided on the south side of the street from the I-87 southbound ramps to beyond
the eastern limits of the study area. Crosswalks and pedestrian signals are provided at all of the signalized
intersections, as noted in the intersection descriptions above. Pedestrian crossings of Main Street are also
provided at two non-signalized intersections: at Ryan Avenue and at Rozelle Street.

Bicycles are accommodated in the
shared 14-ft wide travel lanes on
Main Street east of Big Boom Road.
Because of the constraints of the
interchange bridge structure,
bicyclists either share the travel
lanes or utilize the sidewalk to
move through the interchange
area. The facility was intentionally
designed for this level of
accommodation.

Counts of pedestrians and bicyclists were recorded at each study intersection during the weekday AM and
PM study periods concurrently with the vehicle traffic counts in May 2015. The pedestrian/bicyclist
volumes occurring during the AM and PM peak hours are shown in Table 3. The total number of
pedestrians shown in the table includes the total number across all legs of the intersection. This summary
shows there was minimal pedestrian and bicycle movements at the time of the counts. This is not to imply
that the infrastructure supporting these transportation modes is not vital to the corridor, but these
volumes provide a basis for understanding the effect of pedestrian and bicycle activity in the analysis of
vehicle traffic operations.

3.0 NO-BUILD TRAFFIC VOLUMES

In order to assess the traffic impacts associated with rezoning within the project area, it is first necessary
to estimate the traffic volumes on the adjacent roadways for the future condition without the project (No-
Build Condition) and then apply the traffic generated from the proposed project to obtain the future
conditions with the project (Build Condition).

The Final Design Report (FDR) for the Corinth Road/Main Street Reconstruction project (PIN 1753.80), was
reviewed to obtain historic baseline intersection traffic volumes for the project area. Comparison of the
2015 Existing Design Hour volumes and the 2004 traffic volumes contained in the FDR indicates that the
traffic volumes within the project area have generally been relatively stable with 0% to 2% per year
growth, depending on location. Intersections at the westerly project limits have experienced more growth
than the intersections at the easterly project limit. For the purposes of this study, an annual growth rate
of 1% was applied to adjust the 2015 Design Hour volumes to the 5-year 2020 planning horizon established
for the study.

The Town Planning Department identified three approved development projects that would add future
traffic volume to the study area:

 Parillo Mixed Use: 2,832 s.f. Fast Food and 20,000 s.f. of office/retail
 30,300 s.f. expansion of existing 30,502 s.f. warehouse (approved 12/2013).
 Four (4) 200’ x 30’ self-storage buildings and associated site work (approved 4/15).

Based on the traffic projections developed for each of these projects, it is estimated they will add a
combined 28 vehicle trips during the weekday AM peak hour and 39 vehicle trips during the weekday PM
peak hour through the I-87 Exit 18 interchange.

The traffic generated by these developments were combined with the general background growth to
represent the future No-Build volumes, which will be the basis for evaluating the impact of the projected
development under the proposed CI-18 zoning. The resulting 2020 No-Build traffic volumes are shown on
Figure 7 (next page). The No-Build intersection volumes for the PM peak hour are shown in comparison
to the volumes that were used as the design condition for the Reconstruction project and the 2015 current
volumes on Figure 8 (page 14).

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 14

Figure 8: Intersection Volume Comparison – Existing/No-Build

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 15

4.0 LAND USE

The proposed CI-18 rezone area is approximately 65.5 acres. Land use within the boundaries of the
proposed CI-18 zone includes undeveloped parcels and a variety of small-scale commercial and service
uses, as follows:

Restaurants
Carl R’s Café, Restaurant & Bar
McDonalds
Subway
Taco Bell

General Commercial
U-Haul Moving and Storage

Convenience/Fuel Services
Capital Food and Fuel
Cumberland Farms

Lodging
Days Inn Queensbury/Lake George
Super 8 Queensbury

The current zoning of the proposed CI-18 district includes Commercial Intensive (CI), Commercial Light
Industrial (CLI) and Main Street (MS) zones. The land area associated with each of the current zones is
shown in Table 4:

Table 4: Existing Zoning

Zone
Size
(acres)
Commercial Intensive (CI)
Commercial Light Industrial (CLI)
Main Street (MS)
28.93
7.14
29.43
Total 65.5

The statement of intent for the proposed CI-18 zone is to take advantage of an area of Queensbury that
already has intense commercial development proximate to the Exit 18 Interchange with US Interstate 87
(Adirondack Northway) by allowing for flexible development opportunities on key sites, creating economic
development while encouraging the overall improvement and appearance of these areas, including
attractive building designs and enhanced pedestrian access

The CI and MS zones allow many of the same uses. One difference is the listing of Enclosed Shopping
Center as an allowable use in the proposed CI-18 zone; a use that is not allowed in the existing zones in
the study area. The second “new” use is Amusement Center which is allowed in the proposed CI-18 zone,

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 16

the existing CL but not in the CLI or MS zone. Many of the most intensive uses allowable only under the
existing CLI zone are not included in the proposed CI-18 zone.

The proposed CI-18 zone also will allow buildings up to 70 feet depending on the building setback. Existing
zoning allows for a maximum height of 40 in the CI and MS zone and 60 in the CLI zone. Finally to further
encourage well planned and attractive projects, language to be included in 179-7-050 Design Districts has
been developed for the proposed zone. This will address issues such as facades, rooflines entrance design
and location, building materials within the context of overall site planning.

The development potential of the CI-18 zone was evaluated based on considerations of existing physical
constraints (such as wetlands, steep slopes and floodplains) and the proposed zoning criteria. The
evaluation also incorporated approved projects not yet built in the Study Area. A review of National
Wetlands Inventory (NWI) wetlands mapping, U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) soils mapping and
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) floodplain mapping did not identify resources that
would constrain development within the proposed CI-18 zone.

The proposed CI-18 zone consists of approximately 20 separate parcels varying in size from approximately
1 acre to over 17 acres. The buildable acreage of the proposed CI-18 zone was determined by deducting
land necessary to accommodate the infrastructure for roads (access and traffic circulation) and utilities,
and considering the adjustments for zoning requirements related to lot coverage,
landscaping/greenspace, and permeable surfaces. Typically the road and utility infrastructure for
development will comprise 15-20% of a site. For the purposes of this analysis, 15% was used to provide a
higher estimate of the development potential of the area.

The Town of Queensbury zoning code requires site development to provide a minimum of 30%
landscaping/30% permeable surfaces. In addition, the use of permeable pavement earns a 50% bonus
that is used to meet the landscaping/permeable pavement requirements. It is assumed that over the
entire study area approximately 20% of parcels will utilize permeable pavement, reducing the required
landscaping/permeable pavement requirements.

Based on these considerations of infrastructure and zoning criteria, it is estimated that the CI-18 rezone
area will support approximately 38 buildable acres.

A land use scenario for this buildable area was developed for a 2020 planning horizon for the purpose of
the transportation analysis. Prior to identifying conceptual land uses for this development scenario,
parcels within the study area were consolidated to ensure that parcels meet the acreage requirements of
the proposed zoning and thus will be developable. This parcel consolidation concept is shown on Figure
9. It is noted that the geographic location of Parcel F (Capital Food and Fuel) does not allow it to be

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 17

combined with any other parcel. Because of this, Parcel F was considered to remain an undersized lot with
a non-conforming use (convenience/fuel services) under the proposed zoning.

Gas stations are not identified as an allowable use in the proposed zoning language resulting in a second
non-conforming use on the south side of Main Street (Parcel K). Again, for the purpose of this analysis,
two undersized adjoining parcels are proposed to be combined. The undersized lots are not adjacent to
any other parcels in the study area.

The Parcel Consolidation and Concept Development Table (Table 5) identifies the estimated maximum
build-out focused on high traffic generators. Alternative uses have been identified for some parcels, which
were also considered for the purpose of identifying a development scenario for the transportation
analysis.

5.0 BUILD TRAFFIC VOLUMES
A. Trip Generation

The transportation impacts associated with development of the proposed CI-18 zone was based on a
development scenario for the 2020 planning horizon established in coordination with the Town and
A/GFTC. This Build development scenario consists of the following uses:

The Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 9th edition, is the industry
standard for determining trip generation for various land uses and is based on data collected at case study
sites throughout the United States. The applicable ITE Land Use Codes (LUC) corresponding to the land
uses for the Build scenario are as follows:

 ITE LUC 310: Hotels
 ITE LUC 710: General Office
 ITE LUC 912: Bank with Drive-Thru
 ITE LUC 820: Retail
 ITE LUC 934: Fast Food Restaurant w/ Drive-Thru

The traffic generated by the development with the CI-18 zone will be composed of the following basic trip
categories; primary trips and pass-by trips. Primary trips represent motorists whose primary destination
is within the zone and travel along the adjacent road is not linked to additional purposes. Pass-by trips
are secondary trips that are attracted from traffic passing the individual development sites on an adjacent
street that offers direct access to the generator.

The ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 3rd Edition, which provides pass-by trip rates for the various land uses,
was used to assess the number of new trips that would be associated with each of the proposed
developments as pass-by trips. The following pass-by trip rates were estimated for the development,
based on the ITE information and engineering experience/judgement:

 Bank with Drive-Thru: 30% pass-by trips
 Shopping Center retail: 35% pass-by trips
 Fast-food and smaller retail sites: 50% pass-by trips
 Hotels and offices: are not uses that would include pass-by trips.

Internal capture is another trip generation concept, which is related to travel between parcels within the
CI-18 zone. ITE has limited information pertaining to this effect, but what information does exist shows
that the interaction between the proposed uses would not be significant. In the case of the CI-18 zone,
many of these trips would also still involve travel on the public street network. Consequently, the trip

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 21

generation estimates for the Build condition did not consider a trip reduction for these types of trips
between parcels.

Based on the ITE information, it is estimated that the Build development scenario will generate 1,048
vehicle trips during the AM peak hour and 2,123 trips during the PM peak hour. Of these trips, 794 trips
are estimated to be new to the network during the AM peak hour and 1,503 trips will be new during the
PM peak hour. Although transit service is provided in the corridor, existing ridership characteristics
discussed with GGFT suggest that transit will not significantly influence the trip generation characteristics
of travel to the study area, so the trip generation estimates were not reduced for transit use for the
purpose of this study.

Table 6 summarizes the estimated site traffic generated by the Build scenario, grouped by land use.
Appendix B provides the detailed trip generation and distribution estimates for each parcel within the CI-
18 zone.

B. Site Trip Distribution

The traffic generated by the Build scenario was distributed to the network based on the overall traffic flow
patterns in the study area and considering the type of use, and proximity of the site to other regional
activity centers and residential populations. The trips were distributed to the network for each of the
parcels. The overall distribution for all new primary trips resulted in the following general distribution:

To/From: Main Street East ………………………………. 23%
Corinth Road West: …………………………… 23%
I-87 North: ………………………………………. 20%
I-87 South: ………………………………………. 20%
Media Drive North: …………………………… 13%
Big Bay Rd South: ……………………………….. 1%
TOTAL ……………………………………………. 100%

The distribution and turning movement assignments of site traffic to the study area roadways for pass-by
and primary trips is provided in Appendix B.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 23

C. Future Build Volumes

The site generated traffic was combined with the 2020 No-Build volumes to represent the estimated
future volume conditions for the project area with the rezone development. The future 2020 Build
volumes are shown on Figure 11 (next page).

A comparison of the intersection volumes for the 2020 Build Condition to the 2015 Design Volumes that
had been developed for the Corinth Road Reconstruction project (FDR, 2004) are shown in Figure 10. This
data shows that the 2020 Build volumes for the four intersections between Big Bay Road and Big Boom
Road are substantially higher (15%-30%) than the volumes that were used as the design condition for the
Reconstruction project. The Build volumes for the intersections east of Big Boom Road are projected to
be lower than the design volumes used as the basis of the reconstruction project design.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 25

6.0 CAPACITY ANALYSIS

The operating conditions of transportation facilities are evaluated based on the relationship of existing or
projected traffic volumes to the theoretical capacity of the highway. Various factors affect highway
capacity, including traffic volume, speed, roadway geometry, grade, number and width of travel lanes and
intersection control. The current standards for evaluating capacity and operating conditions are
contained in the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (HCM 2010), published by the Transportation Research
Board (TRB). The procedures describe operating conditions in terms of Level of Service (LOS). In general,
LOS “A” represents the best operating conditions and LOS “F” represents the worst.

Level of Service (LOS) criteria are equated to average delay per vehicle (seconds), and range from LOS A
to LOS F. An overall intersection LOS of D or better is generally considered to be acceptable during peak
periods for signalized intersections. A LOS F represents levels of congestion that are generally considered
to be unacceptable at any intersection; however, again, other metrics should also be considered in
determining a need for improvements. Table 5 below presents the level of service thresholds for
signalized intersections.

Table 7: HCM Intersection LOS
LOS Control Delay per Vehicle
(Seconds)
A 10 or less
B 10-20
C 20-35
D 35-55
E 55-80
F greater than 80

Capacity analyses were performed for the following conditions using SYNCHRO 8 software:
 2015 Existing
 2020 No-Build
 2020 Build

These analyses were completed using the HCM 2010 guidance on recommended practices for treatment
of various data inputs to develop the models, such as considerations of peak hour factor adjustments, and
heavy vehicle factors. However, the operational analysis models that were used to produce the level-of –
service results used the computational methods from the earlier HCM 2000 version because of limitations
in the HCM 2010 methodology for analyzing the signal phasing at some of the study area intersections,
such as the clustered signal operations of the interchange.

Table 8 and Table 9 at the end of this Section summarize the LOS and delay results for each of the
intersections for the weekday AM and PM peak periods, respectively. Summary reports of these analyses
are provided in Appendix C.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 26

A. Existing Traffic Operations
The capacity analyses show that the overall intersection operations in the corridor are acceptable, with
weekday AM and PM peak periods at all intersections operating at LOS D or better. In fact, the overall
intersection levels of service for much of the study area is LOS B. Similarly, all approaches and lane groups
operate at LOS D or better during peak hours, except at the Big Boom Road/Media Drive/ Main Street
intersection where the northbound approach (Big Boom Road) operates at LOS F during both peak
periods. The LOS F condition for this approach is not because of a high volume demand (55 veh/hr in the
AM peak and 80 veh/hr in the PM peak), but is a result of the interaction of this traffic with the conflicting
traffic entering the intersection at the same time from Media Drive.

Traffic moves along the corridor in long groups, or platoons, during the peak hours. Queue conditions that
sometimes extend beyond the designated storage areas within the lanes and/or extend to an adjacent
intersection can reduce the effective operations in the corridor. These factors will periodically produce
congestion in the corridor that is not reflected by the intersection level of service results. The queue
conditions in the corridor are discussed in Section 7.0 of this report.

It is noted that the Corinth Road Reconstruction project included the capability for the signal at the Big
Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street intersection to be operated in coordination with the signals at the
I-87 Exit 18 interchange. However, the existing signal timing plans for these signals shows that this
coordination is not currently being deployed by NYSDOT. NYSDOT has indicated that they will be making
minor adjustments to some timing inputs to improve the efficiency of the signal operations, but they
consider that the coordination would not have an overall benefit to corridor operations at this time.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 27

The field observations of conditions at the Main Street/Richardson Street intersection indicate that the
northbound approach of Richardson Street is operating in a ‘Vehicle Recall’ mode, which means that green
time is allocated for this approach even when there are no vehicles present on Richardson Street to be
served. In contrast, the southbound approach operates in a ‘Vehicle Actuation’ mode, so that a call for
GREEN is not placed for this approach unless a vehicle is present. This current recall mode of operation
for the northbound approach reduces the efficiency of traffic operations because of the unnecessary
traffic stops on Main Street. The signal was designed so that both the northbound and southbound
approaches would operate in ‘Vehicle-actuation’ mode.

Another characteristic of the signal operations at the Main Street/Richardson Street intersection is that
the Richardson Street phases of the signal do not appear to be programmed for northbound and
southbound approaches of Richardson Street to both receive a GREEN signal at the same time regardless
of which direction activated the call (known as ‘Dual Entry’). Instead, the current operations have the
signals facing southbound traffic remain RED if there is no vehicle call on this approach even when the
northbound approach is GREEN. This is not a common phasing treatment, and is not how the signal was
designed to operate. While this does not negatively impact delays at the intersection, it may cause
confusion for pedestrians. This is because the pedestrian signals to cross Main Street on the east side of
the intersection are associated with the northbound traffic phase while the pedestrian signals to cross
Main Street on the west side of the intersection are associated with the southbound traffic phase. Because
the signal is not using the Dual Entry function, the pedestrian signals will display WALK for the east side
crossing at the same time that the signals display DON’T WALK for the west side crossing.

B. No-Build Traffic Operations
The No-Build capacity analysis identifies the traffic operations for the 2020 planning horizon considering
status quo development and socio-economic trends for the area. This analysis provides the context for
evaluating the impact of the development in the CI-18 zone. The analyses assumes the existing geometrics
and signal phasing configurations, but with optimized signal cycle and green time allocations.

The analyses show similar operations as the Existing conditions, with all intersections operating at an
overall LOS D or better during the weekday AM and PM peak periods. All approaches to each of the
intersections continue to operate at acceptable LOS (LOS D or better) except for the Big Boom Road
northbound approach (AM and PM periods) and the Main Street eastbound approach at Richardson Street
(AM period). As with the Existing Conditions, the Big Boom northbound approach continues to experience
long delays with unacceptable LOS (LOS F). The increase in traffic associated with background growth
results in additional delay (16.3 seconds) to the Main Street eastbound approach at Richardson Street
during the weekday AM peak period, such that the LOS deteriorates from LOS D to LOS E. This level of
service also reflects the inefficiency created by the current recall mode operation of the Richardson Street
approach.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 28

C. Build Traffic Operations

The analysis of the Build condition operations considered these operations in the context of the existing
geometry and traffic control. However, for the purpose of analysis, it is assumed that the access to Parcel
A will be provided from Corinth Road opposite Big Bay Road, which is the preferred access location. The
initial base assumptions for the geometry needed at this intersection to support the access to Parcel A
used in the Build analysis are as follows:

 Big Bay Road/Corinth Road –
o Site access to Corinth Road opposite Big Bay Road, modifying this from a “T” intersection
to a 4-way intersection.
o Provide a single lane on the new southbound approach from Parcel A to provide a shared
left-turn/through/right-turn lane.
o Provide a separate left-turn lane on Corinth Road eastbound approach (for traffic entering
Parcel A)

In addition to these geometric modifications, the Build capacity analyses assumes modified signal phasing
to accommodate the new fourth leg of the Big Bay Road/Corinth Road intersection. The geometry and
signal phasing at the other study intersections are the same as existing for this analysis.

The results of the capacity analyses show that the overall level of service for all the study intersections
except Big Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street will operate at LOS D or better. The intersection of Big
Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street will be LOS E in the AM peak hour and LOS F in the PM peak hour.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 29

The Build analysis also shows LOS E/F operations at the following intersection approaches, even though
the overall intersection operations are LOS D or better:

 Big Bay Road/Corinth Road: SB approach (AM & PM)
 Pine Street/Main Street: EB approach (AM)
NB & SB approaches (PM)

It is noted that the analysis of the intersection of Main Street/Richardson Street shows an improvement
in LOS from the No-Build condition to the Build condition. This is because the Build analysis is based on
signal operations with both the northbound and southbound approaches operating in ‘Vehicle Actuation’
mode, and with associated signal timing re-optimization.

These analyses show that specific areas of the transportation system, particularly in the area of the Big
Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street intersection, will require improvements to accommodate the traffic
increases associated with projected CI-18 rezone development. Consideration of these mitigation
improvements are discussed in Section 8.0.

7.0 QUEUE ANALYSIS

Vehicle queue conditions are a factor in the quality of performance of the transportation system, where
queues extend beyond the storage lengths of the turn lanes or where queues extend to the adjacent
upstream intersection. In both these cases, the queue spillback can affect traffic mobility by impairing
access to adjacent travel lanes. The queue analysis is presented in Table 10 for the AM peak hour and in
Table 11 for the PM peak hour. These tables show the 50th percentile and 95th percentile queue lengths
for each peak hour. The 95th percentile queue is defined to be the queue length that has only a 5-percent
probability of being exceeded during the analysis time period. It is typically used in design to identify the
appropriate length of turn-lanes, but it is not typical of what an average driver would experience. The 50th
percentile queue length is a better characterization of the driver experiences. Queues that exceed the
lane storage capacity are highlighted in red.

As shown in these tables, the 95th percentile queue nominally exceeds the available storage at the
following locations in the 2015 existing condition:

I-87 Exit 18 NB Ramps: NB left-turn (PM peak hour)
EB through (AM peak hour)
WB through (PM peak hour)
Big Boom Road/Media Drive: EB through (AM and PM peak hour)

These queue conditions will periodically impede progression of traffic through these two intersections
during the peak hours, adding to vehicle delay which is not reflected in the level of service analysis
discussed in Section 6.0. It is noted that while the NB ramp approach to Main Street is shown to exceed
the formally designated storage lane capacity, the queue is contained within the length of the ramp. The
50th percentile peak hour queues are shorter than the available storage capacity at the locations noted
above. This indicates that the queue-related congestion that does occur at these intersections is of
relatively short duration within the peak hours and does not significantly affect corridor mobility.

The analysis of future No-Build conditions shows that the 95th percentile queue will exceed the available
storage at the following additional locations:

I-87 Exit 18 SB Ramps: WB left-turn (PM peak hour)
Pine Street: EB through (AM peak hour)

The 50th percentile queue conditions in the 2020 No-Build condition are shorter than the available storage
capacity, indicating that the queue-related congestion will continue to be contained to short durations
within the peak hours and that these conditions will not significantly affect mobility in the corridor.

The analysis of the 2020 Build condition shows that the queue demand at these intersections will increase
substantially as a result of the projected development within the CI-18 zone. These changes are consistent
with the changes in level of service noted in Section 6.0. Consideration of mitigation improvements are
discussed in Section 8.0.

8.0 MITIGATION IMPROVEMENTS

The capacity and queue analyses of the 2020 Build condition shows that the CI-18 zone development will
require new transportation system improvements at the following locations to support the projected
traffic demand:

Big Bay Road/Corinth Road intersection
Big Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street intersection
I-87 Exit 18 NB Ramp/Main Street intersection

Big Bay Road/Corinth Road Intersection

The improvements at this intersection are primarily associated with providing access to the Parcel A
development in the northwest quadrant of the CI-18 zone. The recommended access configuration is to
provide one lane for traffic entering the parcel and two lanes for exiting traffic. An eastbound left-turn
lane on Corinth Road is also recommended.

The additional geometric improvement to address the cumulative development of Parcels A, C and D is to
provide a separate right-turn lane on the northbound approach of Big Bay Road. Traffic signal
improvements and/or replacement will also be required to accommodate the new geometry and signal
phasing. Other improvements may also be needed at the intersection to address sidewalk, drainage and
other ancillary roadway features that may be impacted by the design of the roadway improvements.
Figure 12 shows a concept of these improvements.

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 38

Figure 12: Intersection Improvements – Big Bay Road & Corinth Road

Big Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street intersection
The following geometric improvements have been identified for this intersection:

Big Boom Road northbound approach: Provide two left-turn lanes
Provide a separate right-turn lane
Maintain a single through lane

Media Drive southbound approach: Provide a median to align lanes with northbound approach
Provide a separate right-turn lane
Maintain a single through lane

Main Street westbound approach: Provide an additional westbound travel lane
Extend length of the left-turn lane

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 39

Figure 13 depicts these geometric improvements. The traffic signal equipment at this intersection will also
need to be replaced to accommodate these geometric changes and the attendant changes to signal
phasing. Other ancillary improvements will also be needed to relocate existing sidewalks, drainage and
other roadway features to accommodate the widening needed for these roadway improvements. It is
noted that the southbound left-turn movement will operate at LOS F in this condition because of the long
cycle length; however, this involves a low volume of traffic and is not considered to be an unacceptable
operating condition in this context.

I-87 Exit 18 NB Ramps/Main Street Intersection
The following geometric improvements have been identified for this intersection:

Main Street westbound approach: Provide two through lanes for entire connecting link between
this intersection and Media Drive
Provide a separate right-turn lane

These geometric improvements are also depicted on Figure 13. The traffic signal equipment at this
intersection will also need to be modified/replaced to accommodate these geometric changes and the
attendant changes to signal phasing. Other ancillary improvements will also be needed to relocate existing
sidewalks, drainage and other roadway features to accommodate the widening needed for these roadway
improvements.

Table 12 summarizes the results of the capacity analysis for the 2020 Build Condition with this mitigation
improvements.

The extent of improvements required to accommodate the projected development scenario under the CI-
18 zoning is significant in the area of the Big Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street area, including potential
impact to the West Glens Falls Cemetery located along the north side of Main Street east of Media Drive.
Because of these impacts, a sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify a threshold of development in
the CI-18 zone that could be supported with a smaller package of mitigation improvements, which is
discussed in Section 9.0.

9.0 SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

A sensitivity analysis was conducted to identify the threshold of reduced development in the CI-18 zone
that would not require the extent of improvements that were identified for the development based on
the proposed rezoning. In particular, the focus of this sensitivity analysis considered a reduced retail
development scenario for parcels L and M. Based on the proposed zoning and the size of these parcels,
it is estimated that 180,000 sq. ft. could be
physically built on these two parcels
(combined). The process used for this
sensitivity analysis was to conduct capacity
analysis of iteratively-reduced trip
generation of these two parcels to identify
the amount of traffic that could be
supported by the following set of
improvements, and then to correlate that
level of traffic to the size of development:

Big Bay Road/Corinth Road intersection
Same as recommended for Full-Build scenario
(see Section 8.0)

Big Boom Road/Media Drive intersection
• Northbound: Provide a separate left-turn
lane
• Southbound: Convert the lane designations
o from separate left-turn lane and shared
through/right-turn lane
o to shared left-turn/through lane and
separate right-turn lane
• Eastbound: no changes from existing
• Westbound: no changes from existing

The improvement concept for the Big
Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street
intersection is shown on Figure 14. These
improvements will also require
modification/replacement of the traffic
signal at this intersection, and minor
relocation/modification of other ancillary
roadside elements such as sidewalks and
drainage. There are no other
improvements considered for the study
area for this reduced development
scenario.

Figure 14: Reduced Development Improvement Concept – Big Boom Road

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 44

The iterative capacity analysis identified that this improvement concept would support the traffic
generated by the CI-18 rezone development with a 40% reduction of the number of primary and pass-by
trips generated by parcels L and M. Because the traffic generation of retail uses is exponentially related
to the size of the building, this equates generally to a combined size of approximately 85,000 square feet
of retail building area on these properties.

The primary trips generated by each parcel within the CI-18 zone are shown in Table 13 for the original
Build scenario and for the Reduced Build scenario for comparison.

Table 13: Trip Generation Scenario Comparison

The capacity analysis of
the 2020 Reduced Build
scenario shows that the
overall level of service for
each study intersection
will be LOS C or better
during AM and PM peak
hours in the 2020
Reduced Build scenario.
Queue management will
continue to be a factor

10.0 PEDESTRIAN & BICYCLE CONSIDERATIONS

Although the documentation of existing conditions indicated relatively low pedestrian and bicycle activity
in the corridor during periods of peak vehicular traffic volumes, the infrastructure supporting these
transportation modes is vital for providing a sustainable multimodal corridor that is accessible to all users.
The development within the CI-18 zone is also anticipated and encouraged to create uses that foster
increased pedestrian and bicycle activity within the zone.

The impact of development within the CI-18 zone on the public transportation accommodations for
pedestrian and bike activity were considered in the context of these factors:

 Impact of expanded roadway infrastructure on mobility and safety for pedestrians and bicyclists
 Connectivity for active transportation users generated by new development within the zone to
existing pedestrian and bicycle facilities and destinations in the area.

Impact of expanded roadway infrastructure
Section 8.0 – Mitigation Improvements described the roadway improvements identified to provide the
additional capacity to accommodate the vehicular traffic generated by the projected Build condition. At
the intersection of Corinth Road and Big Bay Road, these capacity enhancements are primarily associated
with providing access to the development site at the northwest quadrant of Corinth Road and I-87
Interchange 18 (Parcel A). The extent of these improvements are relatively modest and do not
substantially change the character of the intersection. These improvements will not significantly increase
the walking distance for pedestrians to cross Corinth Road. While the construction of the access to Parcel
A will create a new point of interaction of pedestrians/bicyclists with turning vehicular traffic, this
interaction will be typical of other intersections in the corridor, and is not anticipated to have a significant
impact to pedestrian/bicycle mobility or safety. Pedestrian signals should be provided for the crossing of
the new Parcel A driveway as part of the signal improvements to accommodate this new access.

The vehicular capacity improvements identified at the Main Street/Big Boom Road/Media Drive
intersection to accommodate the projected Build condition include the addition of multiple turn lanes
and an additional through lane on Main Street (westbound). The large size of the intersection created by
these improvements will increase the time required for pedestrians and bicyclists to cross the
intersection. This added crossing distance, along with the added complexities of driver operations also
increases safety risk for pedestrians and bicyclists crossing at the intersection and interacting with turning
traffic from multiple lanes. This is not to say that the larger intersection would be unsafe for pedestrians
and bicyclists, but it would change the character and complexity of navigation by these users. The more
complex signal phasing associated with the geometry of this intersection would also increase the delay
time for pedestrians waiting to cross the street.

The Reduced Build scenario for development within the CI-18 zone correspondingly reduces the extent of
improvements for the Main Street/Big Boom Road/Media Drive intersection. In this scenario, the
improvements consist of widening to provide a new left-turn lane on Big Boom Road (northbound). The
southbound approach of Media Drive may also need to be widened (as shown on Figure 14 in Section 9.0)
to properly align the northbound and southbound travel lanes, but the extent of this widening would be
subject to detailed design. In any case, these improvements would add about 12-14 feet of additional
crossing distance. The distance to cross Main Street would be the same as existing. This geometry is much

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 48

less complex than for the full Build scenario and is consistent with typical crossing situations on urban
arterials.

Connectivity
The increased pedestrian and bicycle activity generated by the new development within the CI-18 District
will create new demand for infrastructure to support their mobility and access. The proposed zoning is
designed to provide on-site amenities to support pedestrian and bicycle accommodation. Consideration
should also be given in the site planning processes to provide for active transportation connections
between parcels and to create spaces for public gathering.

A stated goal of the proposed CI-18 zone is to provide pedestrian connectivity to the Main Street District.
Sidewalks and bicycle accommodations should also be provided along Big Boom Road and Big Bay Road
through the CI-18 zone to connect the active transportation infrastructure at each site to the existing
pedestrian and bike facilities along Corinth Road and Main Street. These accommodations along Big Boom
Road would also facilitate bike connection to the Hudson River waterfront recreation area at the end of
Big Boom Road.

11.0 ZONING CONSIDERATIONS

The Town’s proposed CI-18 zoning was reviewed to identify recommended modifications to meet the
objectives of the zone and to maintain transportation mobility along the Corinth Road/Main Street
corridor. This essentially involved considerations to reduce the density for larger retail uses within the
zone. To achieve this result, it is recommended that a density requirement be incorporated into § 179-3-
040, Section 8.B(b), as follows:

[12] Density Requirements CI-18

(a) Buildings, or portions thereof, that are located greater than 400 feet from the centerline of County
Route 28 (Corinth Road/Main Street), shall be limited in size to conform with the following maximum
development densities, based on the parcel’s area greater than 400 feet from the centerline of Corinth
Road:

• Retail (LUC 820): 4,000 square feet gross floor area per acre
• Fast Food/Convenience/Gas (LUC 934): 500 square feet gross floor area per acre
• Restaurant (LUC 932): 1,000 square feet gross floor area per acre
• General Office (LUC 710): 8,000 square feet gross floor area per acre
• Hotel (LUC 310): 20 rooms/acre

Land uses not listed above shall have a density limitation based on the most applicable ITE Land Use Code
as equated to General Office (LUC 710).

Other recommended changes to the zoning code for the CI-18 district are as follows:

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 49

 Remove ‘Enclosed Shopping Center’ as an allowed use within the zone (Town of Queensbury Table 3,
Summary of Allowed Uses on Commercial Districts).
 Recommend that parcels adjacent to residential uses be required to have a minimum 50’ side yard
and rear yard setback with 25’ vegetated buffer.
 § 179-7-050. (A) Design Districts: remove reference to ‘large retail’ and replace with “supporting
retail”.

The Town is also considering options to establish Special Use Permit criteria for the CI-18 District, and to
establish certain uses as requiring a Special Use Permit. These requirements include provisions for
additional traffic impact analysis, requirements for consistency with the findings and recommendations
of this Exit 18 Rezone Study, and provision for the Town to utilize a Developer’s Agreement to memorialize
the conditions of approval.

12.0 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES

The recent Corinth Road/Main Street reconstruction project was a publicly financed project (80% Federal,
15% State and 5% County financing) which increased capacity in the corridor through geometric
enhancements, multimodal accommodations and improved traffic system management technologies. The
planning and design of these improvements included considerations for future growth of travel in the
corridor associated with general socio-economic conditions in the region and with new development. The
analysis of traffic operations shows that current and future No-Build levels of service in the corridor are
comparable to or better than the level of service objectives established for the design of the
reconstruction project.

The preceding analyses of the traffic impacts associated with development potential in the proposed CI-
18 zone show that additional improvements will be required to the transportation system to
accommodate the additional traffic generated by that development. Some of these improvements are
directly related to providing site access to Parcel A. These improvements involve the construction of the
site access road opposite Big Bay Road, construction of an eastbound left-turn lane (for traffic entering
the site), modification/replacement of signal equipment, and other ancillary reconstruction/relocation of
roadway elements (sidewalk, drainage) as may be affected by the design detail for providing the site
access. These improvements are considered to be the responsible of that developer to fund and
implement.

The other identified transportation improvements have similar correlation to specific groups of parcels.
In identifying strategies to fund these improvements, the costs for these improvements are considered to
be private-sector funded in light of the recent public investment in the corridor, considering the limited
scope of additional improvements that are required, and the nexus of these improvements to specific
groups of parcels in the zone.

The Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS) process is the broadest and most comprehensive
approach to provide a mechanism to fund the improvements and to equitably distribute these costs to all
involved parties. The GEIS process also allows the community to look at the cumulative impacts of a
variety of environmental and community issues in addition to transportation. The GEIS process is most

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 50

effective when it is used to study the implications of development over large land areas and where there
are issues of public/private cost-sharing for the mitigation improvements. For example, the Town of
Halfmoon’s (Saratoga County) GEIS for the northern part of the Town encompassed almost 9,000 acres,
and the Town of Colonie (Albany County) has prepared GEIS’s for three areas of the Town totaling 15,000
acres. The larger the study area the more equitable and effective the process is in terms of the allocation
of mitigation costs and the Town’s administration of the program. The timeframe to complete the GEIS
process and to implement a mitigation fee structure can take several years depending on the size of the
study area and the complexity of issues. For the CI-18 rezone area it is expected that the process would
take 9-12 months. There would also be an on-going commitment of Town resources to manage the
mitigation fee program through the full development of the CI-18 zone.

The use of the GEIS process does not guarantee that the necessary funds will be available at the time that
specific transportation improvements are needed. In these cases, or in cases where the required
improvement is greater than a developers calculated share, the Town would need to either front the
difference and be reimbursed by future mitigation fees or to negotiate with that developer to fund the
improvement so the project can move ahead, with later reimbursement of the difference to the developer
once funds are collected from other projects in the GEIS study. The risk associated with this issue is that
there is no guarantee of the timeline for recovery of these up-fronted costs (either to the Town or the
developer) because that is tied to the pace and types of development that occurs.

The GEIS may not be a cost-effective or efficient mechanism to fund the transportation improvements for
the CI-18 Rezone area because of the following considerations:

 The relatively small size of the study area (65 acres).
 The mitigation improvements identified to address the transportation impacts are
focused on two locations in the corridor.
 The mitigation improvements are primarily associated with providing site access.
 There is no expected public participation requirement in the funding of the
improvements.

Other broadly-based funding mechanisms like Tax Increment Financing (TIF) or Transportation
Improvement Districts/Transportation Development Districts (TID/TDD) are similarly not considered to be
applicable or feasible for the CI-18 rezone area due to the relatively small size of the zone and the limited
transportation improvements required. These types of funding strategies are also more commonly used
to stimulate investment for redevelopment in economically depressed areas.

In a traditional Direct Landowner Negotiation, each development undergoes a separate SEQR review as
the project is submitted. If the project results in the need for the improvement, the developer can either
pay for the improvement to address the identified impact or not receive the required approval. The
advantage of this approach is that it is the simplest to administer by the Town; however the disadvantage
is that there is not a formal mechanism to distribute the mitigation improvement costs to the involved
developers. This typically leads to a scenario where either the first or last development finances a
disproportionate share of the transportation mitigation cost relative to the traffic generated by their
project. One way to address this would be for the Town to facilitate collective negotiations with the
developers/property owners in the zone to establish a funding agreement. This strategy is most effective
if the involved owners are actively pursuing a development approval/action. If this approach is not

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 51

successful or feasible due to local circumstances, then the recommended approach would be to engage
the GEIS process.

13.0 CONCLUSION

The Exit 18 Rezone Study was prepared to identify the transportation impacts associated with the Town’s
proposal to rezone a 65-acre +/- area around I-87 Interchange 18 to a Commercial Intensive Exit 18 (CI-
18) District to provide for flexible development opportunities on key sites, creating economic
development while encouraging the overall improvement and appearance of these areas, including
attractive building designs and enhanced pedestrian access.

This technical study involved an inventory of existing transportation and land use conditions, and
environmental constraints; projections of future land use and transportation conditions; assessment of
transportation impacts mitigation strategies; and, a review of potential funding and implementation
strategies.

The study considered the transportation impacts associated with the projected CI-18 zone development
Build scenario and a Reduced Build scenario. The Reduced Build scenario was established from a
sensitivity analysis considering reduced retail development along Big Boom Road.

Build Scenario Improvements
The study identified that the following transportation system improvements to support the projected
traffic demand of CI-18 zone development in the Build scenario:

Big Bay Road/Corinth Road Intersection
Parcel A southbound approach: Provide new site access opposite Big Bay Road with two lanes for
existing traffic
Big Bay Road northbound approach: Provide a separate right-turn lane
Corinth Road eastbound approach: Provide a separate left-turn lane

Modify/replace the traffic signal equipment to accommodate new geometry and signal phasing
Modify/replace other ancillary roadway features as necessary to accommodate the new lane geometry

Big Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street intersection
Big Boom Road northbound approach: Provide two left-turn lanes
Provide a separate right-turn lane
Maintain a single through lane

Media Drive southbound approach: Provide a median to align lanes with northbound approach
Provide a separate right-turn lane
Maintain a single through lane

Main Street westbound approach: Provide an additional westbound travel lane
Extend length of the left-turn lane

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 52

Modify/replace the traffic signal equipment to accommodate new geometry and signal phasing
Modify/replace other ancillary roadway features as necessary to accommodate the new lane geometry

I-87 Exit 18 NB Ramps/Main Street Intersection
Main Street westbound approach: Provide two through lanes for entire connecting link between this
intersection and Media Drive
Provide a separate right-turn lane

Modify/replace the traffic signal equipment to accommodate new geometry and signal phasing
Modify/replace other ancillary roadway features as necessary to accommodate the new lane geometry

Reduced Build Scenario Improvements
The study identified that the following transportation system improvements to support the projected
traffic demand of CI-18 zone development in the Reduced Build scenario:

Big Bay Road/Corinth Road Intersection
Same improvements as identified for the Build scenario

Big Boom Road/Media Drive/Main Street intersection
Big Boom Road northbound approach: Provide one separate left-turn lane
Maintain a single through/right-turn lane

Media Drive southbound approach: Convert lane-use designations
From – separate left-turn lane & shared through/right-turn lane
To- shared left-turn/through lane and separate right-turn lane

Main Street westbound approach: No changes from existing
Main Street eastbound approach: No changes from existing

Modify/replace the traffic signal equipment to accommodate new geometry and signal phasing
Modify/replace other ancillary roadway features as necessary to accommodate the new lane geometry

The increased pedestrian and bicycle activity generated by the new development within the CI-18 zone
will create new demand for infrastructure to support their mobility and access. Sidewalks and bicycle
accommodations are recommended to be provided along Big Boom Road and Big Bay Road through the
CI-18 zone to connect the active transportation infrastructure at each site to the existing pedestrian and
bike facilities along Corinth Road and Main Street.

The Town’s proposed CI-18 zoning was reviewed to identify recommended modifications to meet the
transportation and land use objectives of the zone for the Reduced Build scenario. The primary
recommendation from this review is to include a density requirement into § 179-3-040, Section 8.B(b) to
limit the size of development based on maximum densities for development that is located greater than
400 feet from the centerline of County Route 28 (Corinth Road/Main Street). The Town is also considering
options to establish Special Use Permit criteria for the CI-18 District, and to establish certain uses as
requiring a Special Use Permit. These requirements include provisions for additional traffic impact
analysis, requirements for consistency with the findings and recommendations of this Exit 18 Rezone

Exit 18 Rezone Study – Queensbury, NY Page 53

Study, and provision for the Town to utilize a Developer’s Agreement to memorialize the conditions of
approval.

The recent Corinth Road/Main Street reconstruction project was a publicly financed project which
increased capacity in the corridor through geometric enhancements, multimodal accommodations and
improved traffic system management technologies. In consideration of this public investment and the
types of improvements recommended to accommodate the future development with the CI-18 zone, the
costs for these improvements are considered to be a private-sector responsibility for funding.

To provide a means to equitably allocate the costs for funding these improvements, the Town could
facilitate collective negotiations with the developers/property owners in the zone to establish a funding
agreement. This strategy is most effective if the involved owners are actively pursuing a development
approval/action. If this approach is not successful or feasible due to local circumstances, then the
recommended approach would be to engage in a formal Generic Environmental Impact Statement (GEIS)
process.

INTRODUCTION
Classified as a “Rural Minor Collector” roadway, River Street in
the Town of Warrensburg (NYS Route 418 and County Route
14) may not seem like it is a significant transportation
corridor.
1 However, as an Adirondack gateway community,
Warrensburg’s roadway s serve as a vital link to a sizable
portion of the Adirondack Park, particularly for northern and
western portions of Warren County . River Street is no
excep tion. As one of the p rimary connection s to the Town of
Thurman (including Thurman’s recently redeveloped railroad
station ), River Street has long been conduit for locals,
recreationists , visitors , and business alike.
Approximately 2.3 miles in length , River Street runs parallel to
the Schroon River ’s southern bank, providing important
1 NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) functional classification
waterfront access. Between Judd Bridge and Richards Avenue,
River Street is owned by Warren County and designated as
County Route 14. West of Richards Avenue, the roadway is
owned by New York State and designated as NYS Route 418.
The western portion of the corridor is the principal collector
road to the Town’s Adirond ack Park Agency (APA) southern
Hamlet Area. It also serves as an important link to Main Street
(NYS Route 9, via Richards Ave and Judd Street bridges) as well
as to Warrensburg Elementary School and the Town’s
Recreation Field (via Milton Street Bridge and Library Avenue)
for residents that live south of the Schroon River.
Approximately 0.25 miles beyond the Milton S treet
intersection (near the National Grid Substation) the corridor
becomes increasingly rural in nature, offering splendid views
of the Schroon River and nearby forested mountain landscape
( see Study Area Map located at the end of this section).
Adjoining land uses include a concentration of residential
neighborhoods along Alden, Commercial, Mill, Ridge, and
Burdick Avenues. There are also a variety of recreation and
commercial uses: the proposed Paper Mill Park (former
Warrensburg Board & Paper Mill site), the Town’s Historic
Mills District Park and Riverfront Farmer’s Market , Grist Mill
Restaurant, River Street Plaza, Curtis Lumber, and Hickory Ski
Cen ter. This mix of land use supports a small but vibrant and
revitalizing community center.

The Town desire s to enhance the River Street corridor. A
handful of pocket parks, a disconnected network of sidewalks,
variable road way conditions, and a number of impediments
within the right of way result in a streetscape that is visually
unappealing and may contribute to a number safety related
concerns among residents .
2 Among the greatest concerns is
the number of vehicular accidents involving utility poles as
well as the lack of pedestrian accommodations in select areas.
The River Street Existing Conditions Analysis ( see Appendix A )
provides a summary of these conditions.
In light of these issues, the Town of Warrensburg, with
funding and technical support from the Adirondack/Glens Falls
Transportation Council (A/ GFTC), has developed the River
Street Streetscape Revitalization Plan to address these issues.
The River Street Streetscape Revitalization Plan is also
intended to create a strategy that will help further revitalize
the corridor by attract ing funding opportunities for
improvements , pro mote new private investments, encourage
new visitors, and provide facilities that meet the needs of
existing and future residents. This plan does not obligate
Warren County or the New York State Department of
Transportation to any specific improvements. Although the
Town does not directly contr ol the roadway, it is hoped that
the collaborative process which was used to create this plan

Note that further technical analysis may be require d in order to verify 2
saf ety concerns that were i dentified by the Town and/or community .
will be carried forward as projects are completed in the
future.
Developed by a committee that consisted of local staff and
elected officials , as well as A/GFTC , Warren County, and NYS
Department of Transportation representatives , the River
Street Streetscape Revitalization Plan was prepared following
an extensive inventory and analysis process, walking tours of
the corridor, Farmers Market visits, stakeholder i nput, and a
Town Board workshop that was held April 8, 2015. This
participatory planning approach has resulted in a plan that is
based on a shared community vision . Further more, the plan
acknowledges that there are a limited local, state, and federal
f unding opportunities . Therefore , the plan is intended to be
both practical in design and implementable through strategic
partnerships and with diverse range of grant support.
From local commuting to recreationist, anecdotal evidence suggest
that cycling has increased in popularity along the River Street corridor

HISTORICAL CONTEXT
Rivers Street’s close proximity to the Schroon River (and
confluence with the Hudson River ) has had a strong influence
on the Town’s industrial heritage . According to th e Historical
Park and Riverfront Farmer’s Market plaque (located along
River Street) , “timber, water, location…this winning
combination sparked development and fortunes of early
Warrensburg.”
3 This convergence of natural resources led to
the growth of sawmills, gristmills, plan ing mills, and tanneries
along the Schroon River in early ninet eenth century,
supporting job growth and development of working -class
residential neighborhoods . During this time period River
Street evolved to accommodate the demands of these
industrial land uses.
In 1870, Thomas C. Durant brought the ‘Adirondac ’ railroad to
nearby Thurman.
4 In 1909 a dam along th e Schroon River was
constructed, formi ng a large impoundment (Schroon River
Pond) and providing hyd ropower to the nearby Schroon River
Pulp Company (eventually renamed Warrensburg Wood &
Paper Corporation ).
5 This, coupled with roadway
reconstruction in 1912 by the NYS Department of Highways
3 The eastern portion of River Street is located within the Warrensburg
Hamlet Historic District (01NRO1752 )
4 Lake to Locks Passage (www.lakestolocks.org) 5 Warren County Historical Society
(www.warrencountyhistoricalsociety.org)
(now NYSDOT), buoyed the production and shipment of goods
and services, as well as visitors to the region.
However, according to the National Park Service (NPS), much
of this industrial base quickly “succumbe d to the economic
pressures of expanding national markets …,” throughout the
early part of twentieth century. While a handful of operations
(particularly milling) continued through the middle twentieth
century, a precipitous decline in local manufacture resulted in
the shuttering of many business along the River Street
corridor (including the end of passenger and freight service at

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

4
Thurman Station) . In the absence of manufacturing, recreation
and tourism emerged as the region’s economic base industry.
Throughout the latter part of the twentieth century this
economic shift resulted in the adaptive reuse of several
buildings , which were turned into locally owned shops and
r estaurants. For example, in 1976 the Grist Mill was sold and
converted into a restaurant and museum. Later, t he Empire
Sh irt Factory was converted into the River Street Plaza, a mix
of commercial uses that include office, retail, and dining
space . In addition to these conversions several site s were
redeveloped into open space resources . For example, t he
Town’s Historic Mills District Park was once home to the J.R.
Foster’ s Shoe Peg Factory and the proposed Paper Mill Park
was once the Warrensburg Wood & Paper Corporation. These
changes have resulted in a River Street corridor that is
significantly different from its industrial past. From its
charming commercial district and quaint residential
neighborhoods to its open space and outdoor recreation resourc
es, the River Street corridor is now a place where
residents and visitors can enjoy shopping, dining out, riding
their bike , paddling, fishing, picnicking, or just watching the
Schroon River float on by .
As interest in heritage tourism, cycling, and water -based
recreation continue s to grow , coupled with an increasing
desire among Baby Boomers and Millennials to live, work, and
play in more walkable mixed use communities, there are many
new opportunities to capitalize on when it comes to the
continued revitalization of the River Street Corridor (as well as
the entire Town of Warrensburg ). These opportunities i nclude
new and improved waterfront access , expanded cultural and
recreational resources, improved pedestrian access and
amenities, historic interpretation design features, wayfinding
signage, aesthetic enhancements, and inc reased multimodal
opportunities (e.g., cycling, leveraging the reopening of
Thurman Station passenger service, etc.).

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

VISION & OBJECTIVES
Today River Street is an important transportation, residential,
commercial, recreation, waterfront, and historical access
corridor. On any given day you will find resident s going about
their daily lives, walking, shopping, and traveling to school and
work. You may also find outdoor and recreation enthusiasts
fishing, kayaking, canoeing, jogging, or cycling up and down
the roadway and along the Schroon River. Local shops and
restaurants are often filled with patrons , particularly during
the warm months when seasonal residents and tourists fill the
area. In order to su pport the continued revitalization of the
River Street corridor, the future vision for its streetscape is
multifaceted and needs to address the following:
• Improved vehicular, multimodal, and pedestrian access
and safety for existing users and to support future
demands, taking into consideration new businesses,
cultural and recreational opportunities .
• Improved physical and visual access to existing and
new recreation and waterfront facilities.
• Improved interpretation of the corridor’s historic
resources and industrial legacy .
• Improved aesthetic quality of the corridor in order to
encourage new private investment and increased
visitation .
• Encourage d use of the Thurman Station by improving
physical and informational (e.g., signage, web based, etc.)
connectivity to River Street business and the
Town’s hamlet center .
• Acknowledgment that the corridor is not homogenous
when it comes nearby land uses and/o r physical
settings and that pedestrian related improvements
need to be context sensitive .
Ultimately the design objective for the River Street c orridor is
to create a more “complete street.” While traditional roadway
design s use a classification system ba sed on increasing
volumes and speeds , a more “complete street” in tegrates
various design features to control access and speed, thereby
making for a safer, convenient, and comfortable travel and
access experience for users of all ages and abilities regardless
of their mode of transportation. This integrated design
approach helps to reduce vehicle miles traveled and promotes
pedestrian mobility. Formally recognized by the NYS Complete
Streets Act in 2011 and by the Warrensburg’s Complete
Streets policy in 2012 and Complete Streets ordinance in
2013, a complete streets approach often includes a variety of
design features that make streets and communities more
livable .
According to the National Complete Streets Coalition (NCSC),
“a complete street may include: sidewalks, bike lanes (or wide
paved shoulders), special bus lanes, comfortable and

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

6
accessible public transportation stops, frequent and safe
crossing opportunities , median islands, accessible pedestrian
signals, curb extensions, narrower travel lanes, roundabouts,
and more .”
6 The NCSC further states, “ A complete street in a
rural area will look quite different from a complete street in a
highly urban area, but both are designed to balance safety and
convenience for everyone using the road.”
T he Ri ver Street corridor consists of two (2) distinct land use
patterns, a more developed eastern portion and a rural
western portion. Therefore, a complet e streets design
approach that recognizes these differences is appropriate.
More specifically, it is recommended that the area between
the Judd Bridge and just beyond the Milton Street bridge
neighborhood include more robust streetscape
improvements . In turn, it is recommended that the western
portion (towards Thurman ) incorporate more subtle
improvements , including additional safety signage and wider
road shoulders wherever practicable.
Although complete streets enhancements can at times be cost
prohibitive , the River Street Streetscape Revitalization Plan
acknowledges this and advances a new vision for the corridor
by using practical and cost -effec tive design solutions.
Furthermore, future improvements are intended to be done
iteratively, thus spreading the potential costs over a longer
6 http://www.smartgrowthamerica.org/complete- streets/complete-
streets -fundamentals/complete -streets- faq
period of time or as part of series of interrela ted public and
private projects .

RIVER STREET CONCEPT PLAN
The River Street Streetscape Revitalization Concept Plan
(located at the end of this section) is divided into four (4)
sections: Judd Bridge to west of Mill Avenue (Figure 1); west
of Mill Avenue to Alden Avenue (Figure 2); Alden Avenue to
the National Grid Substation (Figure 3); and the National Grid
Substation to the Thurman Bridge (Figure 4). Figures 1 -3
provide a detailed rendering of the proposed corridor
improvements. Given the more rural character of the
corridor’s western portion, Figure 4 provide s a general
overview of the proposed improvements.
While the River Street Streetscape Revitalization Concept Plan
illustrates site -specific improvements , it is important to note
that the proposed design elements are conceptual in nature
and do not commit the Town of Warrensburg, Warren Cou nty,
AGFTC, or NYSDOT to fund any of these improvements .
Furthermore, additional analysis of the proposed design
elements is necessary (e.g., traffic safety analysis, warrant
analysis, etc.) during future design phases and/or before any
financial commitments can be made. Finally, it will also be
important to work with willing land owners in order to
implement select features. This includes any design elements that
extend s beyond the right of way limits and onto privately
owned lands.
7
As part of the Town’s 2012 Comprehensive Plan ’s hamlet
sustainability and complete streets goals, i t is important to
recognize that the revitalization of the River Street corridor is
a priority initiative for Warrensburg . As part of this effort,
Warren County recently repaved their portion of the roadway
and is in the process of install ing select improvements to the
Judd Bridge intersection .
Currently the repaving of the NYS -owned portion of the
roadway is not scheduled until 2017 at the earliest . This is a
case where the New York State Region 1 paving schedule is
asynchronous to the local priorities. The Town could work
w ith NYSDOT to determine if the S tate schedule has flexibility
for the paving to move forward sooner. However, given that
the Town also desires additional improvements , which would
not be part of a strict pavement preservation project, it may
be beneficial for the local agencies to pursue funding for the
no n-preservation elements (such as lighting, signage, etc.) in
7 Note the River Street right of way (ROW) is approximately 50 feet. Based
on real property data, approximately five (5) or six (6) parcels may be
impacted by the proposed improvements. Please note this estimate does
not include in -kind replacement of existing sidewalks or the relocation
select utility poles onto adjoining parcels. Furthermore, expanded road

shoulders may result in additional encroachments.

the meantime. This may allow the Town to coordinate with
the State to complete these additional improvements in
tandem with the scheduled pavement preservation projects,
resulting in less disruption to the roadway. This is particularly
true where/if full depth reconstruction is required. However, if
NYSDOT is going to invest in roadway improvements, even for
preservation purposes, elements of the River Street
Streetscape plan should be taken into consideration in order
to support future growth and economic development
opportunities.
For organizational purposes the River Street Streetscape
Revitalization Plan recommendations (next page) have been
divided into the following categories: pe destrian safety and
amenities; multimodal access and safety; vehicle access and
safety; waterfront access and recreation; and interpretation,
wayfinding, and visual enhancements .

Pedestrian Access & Amenities:
P roposed pedestrian enhancements to
the River Street corridor include
sidewalk replacements f rom the Judd
Bridge to the National Grid Substation. It
also includes new sidewalks that are
intended to enhance safety and improve
connectivity between existing sidewalk segments and
adjoin ing places of interest. This includes the Richards Avenue
Bridge Park , the southern side of River Street between
Richard s Avenue and Mill Avenue , and between the Historical
Park and Riverfront Farmer’s Market (hereafter ‘Farmers
Market Park’) and National Grid Substation . Please note that
some these improvements may require minor realignment of
the roadway and/or intersection and guiderail
reconfiguration.
Sidewalks must comply with ADA accessibility requirements
and be maintained during winter months . Wherever sidewalks
are impracticable due to existing infrastructure, site access , or
parking configurations (e.g., Judd Bridge, Grist Mill, Curtis
Lumber, etc.), pedestrian spaces may be defined using striping
or textured/contrasting surfaces (e.g., at grade concre te, etc.).
The plan also calls for improved crosswalks and new crossing
opportunities throughout the corridor. At a minimum it is
recommended that all existing crosswalks should be restriped.
Existing , relocated, modified, and proposed c rosswalks at Judd Bridge
, Veterans Park, Richard s Avenue, Mill Avenue,
Commercial Avenu e and Farmers Market, Alden Avenue, and
Milton Avenue should be well-connected to the pedestrian
access and/or intersection improvements. For example, the
proposed Veterans Park midblock crosswalk should link with
the re spective pedestrian walkway improvements.
These
improvements may also include modification to the existing
guiderails as well.
In addition to the above physical improvements, enhanced
pedestrian signage should be used to alert drivers. This not
only includes crosswalk signage but flashing beacons as well. If
warranted , flashing beacons in advance of the Veterans Park
midblock crosswalk as well as the crosswalks at Mill and
Commercial avenues (Farmers Market) should be considered .
In effort slow vehicle traffic approaching the Milton Avenue
Bridge neighborhood, a variable speed sign west of the
National Grid Substation should be conside red.
In the absence of crosswalks pedestrians are more likely to cross at
unsafe or illegal locations (courtesy Google Street View)

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

10
Multimodal Access & Amenities : C ycling
continues to increase in popularity as a
mode of transportation, a method of
ex ercise, and as a recreational activity .
In response , the River Street Streetscape
Plan calls for a number of cycling related
improvements. While narrow travel
lanes , slower travel speeds , relocation of problematic utility
poles, and the installation of more bicycle friendly stormwater
grates will (and already do ) encourage and support cycling
between Judd Bridge and the National Grid Substation,
expanded road shoulders from t he substation to the Thurman
Bridge, coupled with shared roadway signage , are
recommended in order to enhance the cyclist’s experience
throughout the remainder of the River Street corridor.
Ongoing maintenance (e.g., street cleaning, snow removal,
etc.) of these improvements will further encourage safe
cycling as well. Additionally, bicycle racks at Veterans Park,
Richard s Avenue Park , Farmers Market Park , and the proposed
Paper Mill Park will help facilitate cycling.
The redevelopment and expanded use of Thurman Station
presents additional multimodal opportunities for the River
Street corridor and Town of Warrensburg. With increased
ridership, the Town, Warrensburg Chamber of Commerce, or
an alternative entity may consider providing scheduled shuttle
service from the Thurman Station to points along River Street and downto
wn Warrensburg. Improvements to River Street
should take into consideration possible transit service stops.
Narrow and poor road shoulder conditions along River Street can deter
cycling and can be contribute to a number of safety related concerns

11
Vehicle Access , Travel & Safety: While
the primary focus of the River Street
Streetscape Revitalization Plan is to
improve pedestrian access and
aesthetic quality of the corridor, several
vehicular related improvements were
identified through the planning process .
(I t is important to reiterate that traffic related improvement
will require further traffic safety and warrant analysis during
subsequent design and/or funding phases .)
Proposed v ehicle related improvements include the
installation of stop signs at each approach to the Jud d Bridge
intersection . The current configuration, which currently has a
single yield sign at the Judd Street approach, can be confusing
to drivers, conducive to fast turning speeds, and does not
provide an opportunity for pedestrians to cross. R educed
turning radii using restriping and guiderails , coupled with new
signage, stop lines, crosswalks, and walkway and sidewalk
segments is believed to make a safer intersection for all users.
The Town and County are already collaborating to make some
of these improvements, especially con cerning the installation
of stop signs.
Similar improvements to the Richards Avenue intersection are
proposed . According to the existing conditions analysis there a
number of vehicle accidents at this intersection. Based on
community input and a review of crash data, limited line of sight
and the current two -way stop configuration may play a
role. The lack of a crosswalk is a cause for concern among
residents. As such, the installation of four- way stop, the
narrowing of turning radii, and the moving of stop lines in
order to improve line of sight is suggested . Turning radii need
to accommodate truck traffic . Further traffic analysis is
needed to ensure that these improvements will have a
positive impact. An alternate, more subtle approach , may
include simple restriping to accommodate truck traffic or a
mountable curb, and clearly defined stop lines and crosswalk s.
Th e Alden Avenue intersection may be improved by slightly
realigning (to make a T -intersection) and narrowing the
Poor striping, no stop lines, lack of crosswalks, wide turning radii, and
an awkward stopping configuration make for seemingly unsafe

intersection in order to reduce turning speeds and limit the
distance pedestrians must cross .
Finally, the plan calls for a number of vehicle related access ,
travel, and safe ty enhancements . This includes resurfacing or
reconstruction of the roadway, traffic calming measures (e.g.,
additional speed limit signage, variable speed signs, etc.), and
select access management improv ements. Perhaps one of the
most important improvements is the relocation of utility poles
that are located within close proximity to travel lanes.
According to the existing conditions report there are a number
accidents that have involved problematic utility poles, some of
which have resulted personal injury. It also appears that a
handful of utility poles have also been struck by snow plows ,
which may impact the structural integrity of the poles.

Evidence of vehicle and/or snow plow impacts can be seen on several
utility poles within the corridor. Other utility poles are considerably
closer to the travel lane.

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

13
Wa terfront Access & Recreation: There
are several formal and informal points of
a ccess to the Schroon River within the
River Street corridor. This includes
Veterans and the Farmers Market parks ,
as well as small pocket parks at Richard s
and Milton Avenues . Each offer s
opportunities for both active (primarily
fishing) and passive recreation . The Town
is also currently in the process of
developing a new waterfront park at the
former Warrensburg Board & Paper Mill
Company site, which was recently named
Paper Mill Park. In additio n to these park facilities are a
number of informal locations where outdoor enthusiasts can
access the waterfront via the River Street right of way.
However, these locations tend to be overgrown with
vegetation , located along steep embankments , and/or have
limited parking opportunities.
While canoe and kayak enthusiasts may take advantage of
these waterfront opportunities, the only formal boat launch is
located directly above the Schroon River hydroelectric dam.
The site is owned by Boralex and the boat launch is required
as part of their Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)
license . This access point allows paddlers to enjoy the Schroon
River Pond impoundment, which extends from the dam to the
Milton Avenue Bridge . There are no formal access opportunities below the dam or above the
Richards Avenue
Bridge.
T he plan identifies several fishing and canoe and kayak access
improvements in order to enhance recreational opportunities
within the Schroon River corridor. T his includes enhancements
to Richards Avenue pocket park (a popular fishing location) as
well as the pocket park opposite Alden Avenue . More
specifically, improved sidewalk connectivity and small
riverfront trails at both locations should help increase
accessibility and usage . It also includes a more well- defined
parking area at Richards Avenue pocket park. The plan also
includes a new waterfront park at the National Grid
With no sidewalks and only small gap in the guiderail, the small pocket
park located opposite the Alden Avenue intersection has limited

s ubstation. The proposed park includes a parking area and a
cartop boat launch, which would provide access to the upper
reaches of the Schroon River Pond impoundment.
Finally, the plan supports the Town of Warrensburg’s effort to
develop Paper Mill Park at the site of the former Warrensburg
Board and Paper Mill Company. The proposed park is currently
in the design phase and the Town is now identifying elements
of the project that can be done using local labor forces. Once
complete , the park will include a portage from the existing
boat launch located above the dam to a cartop boat launch
that will be located below the dam. This will not only improve
accessibility for users of the park, it may also support through
paddlers and perhaps be part of a future Hudson River and
Schroon River blueway trail. A concept plan for the proposed
Paper Mill Park is included as the end of this section (see
Figure 5 ).
The Town’s proposed Paper Mill Park will provide enhanced waterfront
access below the Schroon River Dam. The park will also include a host of
other passive and active recreation opportunities

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

15
Interpretation, Wayfinding , and Visual
Enhancements : Two of the Town of
Warrensburg’s greatest resources are
the Hamlet of Warrensburg and
Warrensburg Mills Historic Districts. As
previously noted a significant portion of
the study area is within the se historic
district boundaries. Signage identifying
the hamlet and historic district is
generally lacking. The River Street
corridor should include informational
signs that better identify the limits of the
historical districts and help interpret its
historical resources . Additional signage t hat helps visitors
navigate points of interest and local business should also be
included.
T he River Street Streetscape Revitalization Concept Plan
identifies several locations where wayfinding signage is
recommended (note c ertain wayfinding is subjec t to Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Device s standards ). T his includes:
town -wide, historic district, and River Street gateway signage
at the T hurman Bridge, National Grid s ubstation, and Judd
Bridge, respectively; natural resource signage at select River
Street pull offs; a comprehensive wayfinding signage syste m
at the proposed Paper Mill Park; and historical interpretive
and waterfront access signage at the Farmers Market,
Richards Avenue, and Veterans parks, and proposed Schroon River Overlook (see below for more information).
It is
important to note that such signage should be at tractive,
include uniform and comple mentary design elements,
appropriately
scaled for the
intended user (e.g.,
vehicular traffic
verse pedestrians),
and highlight
landmarks, points
of interest and
access, and local
businesses. The
Town should
consider a
preferred signage
design strategy to
ensure visual continuity. It may consider using the signage
design scheme that is currently being developed for the Paper
Mill Park (see image left ).
Finally, the Town should explore additional ways to improve
visual access to the Schroon River waterfront and enhance the
aesthetic quality of corridor . For example, a unique design
feature that was identified during the planning process was
the Schroon River overlook near the Grist Mill Restaurant. The
c oncept includes a proposed walkway along the existing Grist
Mill parking lot that connects to an observation deck situated

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

16
along the Schroon River riverbank. The walkway and overlook
could incorporate a number historical interpretive signs and or
features (e.g., historical industrial equipment that is currently
located on the property). While located on private property, a
public private partnership c ould bring this unique opportunity
to fruition.
As for the aesthetic quality of the corridor, a host of
l andscaping improvements, reconfiguration of select parking
areas, and pedestrian scale design features and amenities can
be employed to beautify the River Street streetscape and its
adjoining public spaces. Often referred to as corridor
beautification, the use of attractive period lighting (that
compliments the historic district), banner, pavers or pressed
asphalt, street furniture , planters, street trees, flowerbeds , as
well as public art displays not only instill a sense of local pride
and foster a greater sense of place, it ca n help attract new
investments and promote tourism. A rendering that illustrates
these design elements along the River Street is provided
below ( see Figure 6 next page).

Streetscape elements that are designed to complement one another
provide for an attractive and unique user experiences. These features,
coupled with landscaping and other enhancements, will help improve
the visual quality of the River Street corridor

New sidewalks and striping can
be used to reduce curb cuts,
improve access management,
and enhance safety
Wayfinding signage should be used to
help residents and visitors navigate
the corridor and to identify local
business and points of interests
Encourage local property owners to
reinvest in properties along the corridor.
Provide support through funding
opportunities and/or technical assistance Attractive streetscape features such
as period lighting, bollards, benches,
banners, plantings and landscaping

and/or on-street parking, as appropriate,, and
relocated utility poles, coupled with additional
pedestrian and bicycle signage, will make for a safer

PRELIMINARY COST ES TIMATE & IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
There are several potential funding sources that may be used
to implement River Street Streetscape Revitalization Plan .
However, no one source will likely fund the project in its
entirety. As such, it is important to explore and leverage all
funding opportunities. Given the variety of funding sources
and strategies, it is important to continually examine priorities, possible alternatives, and implementation strategies
to champion the projects that are identified with this plan.
The estimated
2015 project cost for the River Street
Streetscape Revitalization Plan is approximately $4.0 to $5.9
million. Below is a summary of this estimate:
RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE
River Street Roadway (resurface vs. reconstruction) $865,000-$4,100,0001
Sidewalk Improvements (new segments only vs. new segments and replacement of existing) $236,400-$1,004,0002
Intersection Improvements (Judd Bridge, Ridge Avenue, Alden Avenue) $63,0003
Other Pedestrian Safety Improvements (e.g., bike safe stormwater drainage grates) $11,00
Other Streetscape Improvements (trees, lighting, utility pole relocation, gateway signage) $454,00
Select Park Improvements (Veterans, Richards Ave Bridge, Proposed Grist Mill Overlook , Historic
Mills District, Alden Ave Riverfront , Proposed Schroon River Waterfront Access )

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
While NYSDOT may be responsible for roadway repairs and/or
improvements , many projects (particularly improvement s that
fall outside the limits of the right of way or along adjoining
properties) are the responsibility of the Town , and will
therefore require strong local leadership. The portion of River
Street between Judd Bridge and Richards Avenue Bridge will
also require strong support from Warren County. Because of
this the To wn will need to partner with NYSDOT, Warren
County , and adjoining landowners in order to implement the
River Street Streetscape Revitalization Concept Plan. Given the
scale of the project i t is suggest ed that the T own conside r
dividing it into phases or priorities in ord er to make it more
attainable and attractive to a variety of funding programs . This
may include: 1) roadway improvements; 2 ) sidewalks and
pedestrian connections; 3) wayfinding and gateway signage;
and , 4) recreation and waterfront access .

• Roadway improvements: It is assumed that the
NYSDOT will complete a majority of the roadway
reconstruction and/or resurfacing as a component of
ongoing maintenance and preservation efforts. As
such, early engagement with the NYSDOT is
recommended in order to he lp foster a positive and
proactive partnersh ip with the Town. According to the
NYSDOT, other routes within the region have a higher
priorit y (e.g., NYS Route 9L, Route 28N , and Route 8) and
repaving of River Str eet will not occur until 2017 at
the earliest. As such, the Town should have ongoing
discussions regarding scheduling with AGFTC, NYSDOT ,
and elected officials in order to establish a
clearer/more predictable timeframe.
• Sidewalk, pedestrian connections , and amenities:
Many pedestrian improvements could be incorporated
into a NYSDOT funded work plan . Alternatively , with
grant funding and through a Betterment Agreement
with NYSDOT, the Town could construct select
pedestrian improvements (in conjunction with
repaving/reconstruction efforts) that are considered a
local priority . The Town could also construct select
streetscape amenities (e.g., lighting, wayfinding
signage, etc.) , park improvements , and waterfront
access opportunities (e.g ., the proposed Grist Mill
Overlook and Schroon River waterfront access area ) as
well . This would also include any improvements that
are not within the NYSDOT right -of -way.
• Wayfinding and gateway signage : Certain wayfinding
s ignage could be installed (in accord ance with the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Device s standard)
throughout the corridor as part of a standalone
initiative or as a compliment to site specific (e.g.,
parks) imp rovements . T he timing and layout of future
improvements must be considered to avoid

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

20
subsequent impact, removal, or replacement when
making other physical improvements. B ecause
wayfinding and gateway signage often require more in-
depth design or branding consideration s, it is
recommended that the Town develop a wayfinding
strategy (e.g., logos, signal art elements, etc.) for the
corridor in the near- term in order to achieve the
desired results (i.e., a visually appealing , uniform , and
well -coordinated user experience). The Town may
consider expanding the wayfinding strategy that is
currently being developed for the Paper Mill Park for
the entire River Street corridor.
• Site- specific enhancements: The Town may choose to
design and construct other site -specific projects
identified in the River Street Streetscape Revitalization
Plan ( i.e., Veterans, Richards Ave Bridge, Proposed
Grist Mill Overlook, Historic Mills District, Alden Ave
Riverfront , Proposed S chroon River Waterfront Access ,
Paper Mill P ark). T he Town could select a single si te to
focus their initial efforts and manage costs . On a
large r-scale the Town could choose to pursue funding
for all the site -specific projects. This latter strategy
would likely be more successful if the individual
projects were woven together by a single theme (e.g.,
as one single waterfront and/or historic resource
access initiative). Finally, absent NYSDOT support, the Town may choose to advance select
streetscape
improvements .
POTENTIAL FUNDING SOURCES
Given the overall cost to revitaliz e the River Street corridor,
responsibility cannot solely be borne by the Town of
Warrensburg. As such, funding assistance and material
support is essential in order f or the project to be successful.
Because of limited federal and state funding, NYSDOT is
primarily focused on “p reservation” of roadways and is less
likely to take on more elaborate reconstruction initiatives. Th e
Town of Warrensburg will have to take a greater leadership
role when it comes to advo cating for redevelopment of the
corridor.
With the exception of Urban Local, Rural Minor Collector, and
Rural Local classified roadways , all state road are eligible for
federal funding .
8 As noted in the Existing Conditions Analysis
(Attachment A), River Street is classified as a Rural Minor
Collector and is therefore not a “Federal Aid ” eligible roadway .
However, there is some precedent for using Federal Surface
Transportation Program (STP) Funds for safety and
bicycle/pedestrian -related priority projects, regardless of
location on or off the federal -aid system. The River Street
corridor is noted as a priority in the A/GFTC Bicycle Priority

services/highway -data -services/functional -class -maps

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

21
Network. In addition, the River Street bicycle -pedestrian
improvements may soon be listed as an “Illustrative Project”
in the regional Transportation Improvement Program. An
“Illustrative Project” is one in which current funding is not
available; if funding becomes available in the future, the
project may be considered for inclusion in the TIP. I n order to
determine the availability of funds and/or project eligibility
the Town should meet with NYSDOT and A /GFTC
representa tives to discuss next steps in this process .
T he Town should also work with the representatives from the
Capital Region Economic Development Council (CREDC) in
order to identify priority project or Consolidated Funding
Application (CFA) opportunities.
9 So me of these opportunities
are identified below while others are standalone funding
initiatives and programs:
• A/GFTC Make the Connection Program is intended to
assist with small- scale projects that “will improve the
region’s bicycle and pedestrian travel network.”
Announced on annual basis, the Make the Connection
Program requires a 20 percent local match and can be
used for a variety of small projects. However, it is
important to note that funding is limited and project
administration can be technically difficult in relation to
award amount due to administrative guidelines and/or
requirements. Nevertheless, the program may help
9 http://regionalcouncils.ny.gov/content/capital -region
implement a critical piece of the River Street
Streetscape Revitalization Plan.
• NYSDOT Transportation Alternative Program (TAP)
provides funding for transportation alternatives
including “on- and off-road pedestrian and bicycle
facilities, infrastructure projects for improving non –
driver access to public transportation and enhanced
mobility, community improvement activities, and
en vironmental mitigation.” Because the proposed
improvements are primarily focused on transportation
alternatives, several aspects of the project may be
eligible for funding through TAP program. It is also
important to note that River Street provides access to
the Warrensburg Eleme ntary School for nearby
students. As such, certain aspects of the project may
be eligible for TAP funding, specifically the Safe Routes
to School funding category.
• New York State Department of State (NYSDOS) Local
Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP) funds are
available through the State’s Consolidated Funding
Application (CFA) process. As a Hudson River
community, and with the Schroon River recently being
identified asa designated inland waterway, monies
from the State’s Environmental Protection Fund (EPF)
may be used to prepare a wide variety of community
planning initiatives and projects. Because the Town has
already developed a partnership with the NYSDOS

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

22
through its LWRP funded Comprehensive Plan, there is
a greater likelihood of being awarded funding support.
When pursu ing LWRP funding for the River Street
Streetscape Revitalization Plan the Town should focus
on Schroon River access and waterfront revitalization.
LWRP Grant requirements include a 50 percent local
match .
• Also available through the State’s CFA process are New
York State O ffice of Parks, Recreation, and Historic
Preservation Parks (OPRHP) funded programs. This
includes its Parks and Historic Preservation programs.
These individuals programs could be used to advance a
number of the plan recommendations. This includes
proposed park improvements, building preservation,
and select pedestrian improvements (if pitched as a
transportation alternative or historic trail experience).
If the Town does choose to pursue OPRHP funding it
should levera ge River Street’s historic district
designations.
• The NYS Environmental Facility Corporation (EFC)
Green Innovation Grant Program is a highly
competitive grant program that uses funding from the
US Environmental Protect Agency (EPA) and is
administere d under the Cl ean Water State Revolving
Fund. The Green Innovation Grant Program will
provide seed money for projects which spur green
innovation, build green capacity, and facilitate technology transfer throughout th
e State. Eligible
projects should be designed to water quality and
demonstrate sustainable wastewater infrastructure in
communities across the State . The Town could use this
funding source to design and construct stormwater
management features that are part of the proposed
River Street Streetscape Revitalization Plan.
Particularly for any d esign features that would focus on
improvement s Schroon River water quality .
• Through the NYS Department of Environmental
Conservation (NYSDEC) Adirondack Park Smart
Growth Implementation Grants , municipalities and
not -for -profits may request up to $75,000 (with no
required match) for “smart growth” related projects
that are wholly within the Adirondack Park. This
includes “capital projects and community development
initiatives that link environmental protection,
economic development and community livability
within the special conditions of the Adirondack Park.”
Given the flexibility of this program, funding could be
used for a number of recommended River Street
improvements.
• NYSDEC Urban and Community Forestry Grants
Funding seeks to encourage and assist municipalities
as they develop and implement sustainable local urban
forestry programs. Grants are designed to encourage
communities to actively enhance tree cover along their

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

23
streets and in their parks, to properly care for and
maintain their community trees, to develop tree
inventories and management plans, and to inform
their residents of the value and benefits of urban trees.
The Town should consider pursuing this funding for
street trees along River Street.
• Glens Falls Hospital ’s Creating Healthy Places to Live,
Work & Play program provides monies for projects,
after the adoption of a local complete streets
resolution or through its grant program, that meet its
programs goals. This may include monies for signage
and small site -specific improvements. The Town of
Warrensburg has adopted a complete streets
resolution and worked with Glens Falls Hospital on a
number of complete streets initiatives. The Town
should continue to work with Glens Falls Hospital in
order to identify new funding and partnership
opportunities.

Job #: 91418.00
This Existing Conditions Analysis has been prepared by gathering information through field visits, review
of existing resources, research, and Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) mapping.
Introduction
The focus of this streetscape project is River Street within the Town of Warrensburg (Warren County)
from the Judd Street Bridge west to the bridge across the Hudson the Town of Thurman (see Figure 1 in
A ttachment A) . Warren County owns the portion of roadway between Judd Street and Richards Avenue
(County Route 14) and NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) controls from Richards Ave to
Thurman Station (NYS Route 418). River Street is functionally classified as a Rural Minor Collector, and
as such are generally not Federal Aid eligible. Consistent with the US Federal Highway Administration,
NYSDOT states that a Rural Minor Collector should have the following characteristics:
• Be spaced at intervals to collect traffic from local roads and bring all developed areas within a
reasonable distance of a collector road.
• Provide service to the remaining smaller communities.
• Link the locally important traffic generators with their rural areas.
The overall length of this roadway is approximately 2.3 ± miles. Over the length of this roadway a total of
three bridges span the Schroon River at Judd Street, Richards Avenue, and Milton Street. At the western
end of the Study Area a bridge crosses the Hudson River to Thurman Station. Land use along this section
of River Street is predominantly a mix of uses including residential, vacant, commercial, and community
services. The Warrensburg Mills Historic District is a national historic district and was added to the
National Register of Historic Places in 1975 from the Woolen Mill Bridge to the Osborne Bridge . It
encompasses a number of mill complexes and homes related to the de velopment of Warrensburg (see
Photo Log in A ttachment B).
The River Street right of way in this area is approximately 50 feet (three rods). However, this may be less
due to existing land uses and p hysical restrictions that may have limited the overall width of the road in
sections. Acquisitions along this roadway occurred in : 1916, 1933, 1936 and 1939 (2 each), 1941 and
1994 (see historic mapping in A ttachment C). Portions of River Street run adjacent to the Schroon River,
re sulting in narrow shoulders and steep banks along the river in in various locations .

River Street serves as a link to Warrensburg’s “downtown” via the three bridges that cross the Schroon
River and provides a link to Thurman across the Hudson River . Traffic speeds along this section of
roadway are posted 30 mph and 55 mph , with numerous advisory speed limit signs due to geometrics .
The two lane roadway (one lane each direction ) travels in an eastbound/westbound direction along the
Schroon River. Roadway width varies throughout and is generally between 25 – 30 feet in width.
Parking along this roadway is prohibited near the intersection with Commercial Avenue at the site of the
farmer’s market .
Road Conditions
One of the tools that NYSDOT uses to identify where pavement work is needed (and what type of work
should be done ) is based on a Surface Rating that describes the severity and extent of pavement surface
distress for each segment of highway. The measurement of ride quality is also considered. While a
rating of 1 -10 is used, t he following four generalized surface conditions are used by NYSDOT to classify
roadways.
• Excellent – no significant surface distress
• Good – Surface distress beginning to show
• Fair – surface distress is clearly visible
• Poor – distress is frequent and severe
Surface rating of the roadway was given a score of 6 by NYSDOT which represents a fair condition with
surface distress clearly visible . However, in some locations the roadway condition may be described as
poor as the roadway moves further west towards the Hudson River. E xisting condition photographs
illustrate the cracking, potholes, and cold patch within the roadway (see Photo Log in A ttachment B).
The photos further show broken pavement along the shoulder’s edge as it transitions to an unpaved
surface. Years of patching and alligator cracking are evident. Recently a washout west of a National Grid
Substation (near Big Brook) occurred and has since been temporarily repaired. According to NYSDOT,
while it is recognized that paving 418 would be beneficial, due to the priority of other routes, repaving
will not likely occur until 2017 at the earliest.
Roadway and crosswalk striping is also generally poor throughout the Study Area as the striping is
broken, faded, and unclear in many spots. Acc ording to NYSDOT, this is a p aint (as opposed to epoxy)
route, which should be painted yearly. More detail is provided in the Vehicular Travel and Safety section
below.
Vehicular Travel and Safety
In July 2014, NYSDOT obtained updated traffic data for the section of River Street from Alden Ave to the
junction with Route 9 (see Table 1 and Attachment B ). The estimated average annual daily traffic (AADT)
was 1,336 vehicles eastbound and 1,288 vehicles westbound. During the period of data c ollection, the
average weekday peak was 136 vehicles per hour travelling eastbound, and 144 vehicles travelling
westbound. The average speed travelling eastbound was 30.9 mph and westbound was 31.2. The 85
th
percentile speeds for eastbound and westbound was 36.3 mph and 37.4 mph, respectively. The percent
of F4 -F13 heavy vehicles was 4.36, while the percent of F3 -F13 trucks and buses was 28.12.

According to traffic accident data obtained from A dirondack/Glens Falls Transportation Committee
(A/GFTC) , for the past three years there have been a total of 47 accidents between 2011 and 2013 for
the section of River Street within the Study Area (see travel data in Attachment D) . Accidents have
largely been with other vehicles over this period of time. However, averages of nearly six accidents a
year are a result of a collision with fixed objects (light support, utility pole, guide rail, sign post) and the
roadway shoulder, ditch, or elevated bank. As shown in photos included within Attachment B , there are
a number of locations where utility poles are located within the roadway shoulder and in some
instances as close as 1-3 feet to the active travel lane.

Further, the GIS data showing the location of these collisions indicate that four out of six collisions with
utility poles along River Street are between Richards Avenue and South Street (see Figure 2 in
A ttachment A ). This presents safety concerns for not only motor vehicles, but also for pedestrians and
bicyclists using this portion of the roadway. Another concentration of accidents , related to roadway
shoulder, ditch, or elevated bank was identified along River Street near Sue Ann Drive at the western
end of the Study Area. Sight line s in this location are likely an influencing factor. Accidents with other
vehicles are concentrated at intersections with Richards Avenue, South Avenue, and Milton Street.
Based on Town input, a lack of a four-way stop, proper signage, and roadway striping could be
contributing factors.
Data related to contributing factors for these accidents varies as they involve multiple factors and
multiple vehicles. Of note, over the three year period failure to yield right of way was identified as an
influencing factor 13 times and slippery pavement was counted 6 times. Other influencing factors of
note include driver’s inattention, animal involvement, alcohol, unsafe speed, disregarded traffic control
devices, and backing unsafely.
A site visit conducted in August 2014 identified the following observations as they related to vehicular
and pedestrian movement and safety along this portion of River Street (see Figure 3) .
• A number of u tility poles are located within very close proximity to the travel b
etween the Judd
Street Bridge and Veterans Park and between Richa rds Avenue to the Grist Mill.
• Guiderail along portions of the Richards Avenue Bridge can obstruct line of sight for motorists
• The intersection of River Street with Judd Street is controlled by a yield sign for traffic on Judd
Street with no roadway striping or crosswalks..
• There are multiple houses within 10± FT of travel lane in the section of roadway between the
Grist Mill and Curtis Lumber.
• A bank along a section of the road has been washed out along River Street near Big Brook where
water was impounding along an old rail bed (see Photo Log in A ttachment B).
Pedestrian and Multi -Modal Travel and Safety
Sidewalks within the Study Area are located on the non -river side of River Street beginning at the Judd
Street Bridge west to the intersection with Commercial Avenue. Sidewalks begin again approximately
300 feet further along River Street past the Curtis Lumber parking lot. They continue another 250 feet
just past Pebble Drive. Sidewalks pick up again at the intersection of River Street and Alden Avenue on
the non- river side . There is a 125± ft sidewalk gap before they pick up again at the intersection with
Johnson Drive. No other sidewalks are located within the Study Area, and no sidewalks are located along
the river side of River Street. In general, se ctions of sidewalk east of Richards Avenue are 3.5 feet wide
and are in fair to poor conditions. Sidewalks west of Richards Avenue are generally 5 feet in width are in
good condition.
Crosswalks along River Street are limited to the intersections with Commercial Avenue, and Milton
Street (Bridge). Crosswalks were not found at intersections with Judd Street (bridge), Richards Avenue
(bridge), Alden Avenue, or near the Board and Paper Mill site . A single pedestrian crossing sign is

located at the northern end of the Warrensburg Historical Park (see River Stree t Inventory Map) . The
Warrensburg Riverfront Farmers’ Market can be found at this location. During the farmers market
orange cones are placed along the roadway and temporary pedestrian crossing signs are put up.
However, parking for the farmers market is scattered along the roadway and adjoin properties. As
vehicles and pedestrians navigate this area there are at times pedestrian an d vehicular related safety
concerns. More specifically, v ehicles are parked in the shoulder and grass areas along River Street, in the
Historical Park parking lot, at Curtis Lumber, and in unpaved areas at the intersection of River Street
with Commercial Avenue . All the while pedestrians cross the street as vehicles navigate a somewhat
congested roadway.
As discussed in the Vehicular Travel and Safety section, there are a number of impediments within the
right of way that present concerns for pedestrians and bicyclists within this area. This includes the
following:
• include utility poles located adjacent to travel lanes that limits bicycle and pedestrian
movements,
• Narrow travel lanes and shoulders ( particularly west of Milton Street to the Hudson River ) that
offers limited shared roadway opportunities ,
• Inconsistent/disconnected sidewalk network that limits pedestrian mobility in select areas and
raises safety concerns ,
• Unclear or nonexistent crosswalks at Judd Bridge and Richards Avenue intersection (note a lack
of crosswalks in other locations may also contribute to unsafe midblock crossing by
pedestrians) ,
• Storm drains along road shoulders that below surface grades due to rep aving and have grate
design s that present safety concerns for bicyclist ,
• Guard rail that may inhibit line of sight and/or restrict pedestrian access and mobility
(particularly near the bridges) ,
• Limited poor pedestrian signage.
Finally, It should be also noted that there is limited access to the Schroon River along this section of
roadway . While this may not be a pedestrian safety issue, members of the community have suggested
that additional access to the waterfront is desirable.
Land Use Characteristics
Land use along this section of River Street is predominantly a mix of uses including residential, vacant,
commercial, and community services (see Figure 4 in Attachment A). Noted land uses include: the Board
and Paper Mill site s, the site of a future waterfront park and car top boat/fishing access, the wastewater
treatment plant, and a cluster of other businesses and the Veteran’s Park . Within the Study Area a total
of 172 parcels are located adjacent to River Street. These parcels account for a total of 579 acres of land
(see Table 2) .

Residential uses are the most predominant land use in terms of parcels and overall acreage. Vacant,
community services, and wild, forested conservation lands and public parks are the next most common
land use. The balance of the study area is largely made up of commercial, public services, and
recreation and entertainment. As shown on Figure 4 , it should be noted that there are a number of large
parcels at the western end of the Study Area that account for a majority of the land area. Businesses
within the Study Area along River Street are limited and include: the Grist Mill on the Schroon
(restaurant), R&D Transmissions, River Street Plaza, Curtis Lumber, and the Hickory Ski Center.

Within the Study area there are a number of recreational resources that provide fishing, kayaking, water
access and cycling opportunities for residents and tourists to the area. These resources often generate
pedestrian activities and the Town desires to i mprove accessibility along River Street to these facilities .
Some of these recreational resources include the following :
• Veteran’s Park is l ocated on the Schroon River side of River Street between Catherine Street and
Burdick Avenue. The park includes picnic tables and a gazebo . Current access to the park
includes a parking area. There are no adjoining sidewalks or a crosswalk that would provide
improved access to the park.
• The Warrensburg Board and Paper Site (recently renamed Paper Mill Park) is the location for a
new Town recreation park along the Schroon River, which is currently in the planning stages.
A lternative concepts have been dev eloped that include: an observation deck, seating/viewing
areas, an event lawn, kayak put in, pavilion, parking, and trails throughout the site . The site will
include a new driveway and parking area for vehicle access. Along this portion of River Street
there are very limited/narrow road shoulders. Expanded road shoulder and shared roadway
signage would im prove access to the proposed park.
• The Hickory Ski Center operates a surface lift only ski area with more than five miles of skiing on
18 beginner to expert trails. The facility reope ned during the 2009-2010 season and again during
the 2013 -2014 season. Although Hickory Ski Center is primarily a winter operation, there are
discussions about expand ing services , amenities , and/or events during the warmer months.
Expanded road shoulders and shared roadway signage along River Street would improve
pedestrian and bicycle access to this important economic development entity .
• The pocket park located across from Alden Avenue near the Milton Street Bridge is blocked by
the guardrail and primarily includes a bench .

The Study Area is within the Warrensburg Mills Historic District , where historic manufacturing mills were
once located . Improvements to the River Street corridor will need to take into consideration the
distric t’s historical resources, particularly any potential impacts to unique landscape features and
historic prop erties.
The Warrensburg Riverfront Farmers’ Market is located on the Schroon River . The farmers market was
established in 1998 and sells locally grown, raised and prepared products including produce, plants, cut
flowers, dairy, poultry, meats, maple syrup, honey, wine, preserves, baked goods and refreshments. The
market is held Friday afternoons from 3 -6 p.m. from Memorial Day Weekend thru the end of Octo ber.
