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.

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.
Needs by Specific Geographic Area

highlights areas with high degrees of transportation needs.

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:

• 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

Potential Solutions
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).

Other Comments
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:

Fitzgerald Environmental Associates, LLC

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.

Characterize the White Creek corridor in Salem to understand the channel’s natural
geomorphic tendencies and historical context;
 Complete a defensible hydrologic and hydraulic study of the watershed to understand the
flood magnitudes and dynamics of the White Creek corridor;
 Assess flood vulnerability of transportation infrastructure and public and private property in
the Town of Salem;
 Identify and evaluate flood resiliency strategies and projects upstream of the Village of
Salem;
 Identify and evaluate flood resiliency strategies and projects in the Village of Salem;
 Develop a “roadmap ” for future flood mitigation efforts in the Town of Salem by weighing
each project’s benefits and costs.
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
level and proposed with the increased span to 65 feet to provide a bankfull channel.

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

Fitzgerald, May, 2016). Note the riprap

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.

channel from the floodplain in the 10-year flood. Removing both confining features would reconnect an estimated 530,000 cubic feet of
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

Fitzgerald, May, 2016). Note

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

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

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.

Archibald bridge. The floodplain elevation is only slightly lower than
surrounding houses and the road. Figure 6.31 : Large floodplain cut at Archibald Street including removal of the bridge

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

Available acreage calculation 65.5 acres total
Subtract roads, utilities (15%) 9.83
Subtract constraints (wetlands/steep slopes/floodplains) 0
Subtract landscaping/permeable surfaces requirements ¹ 17.69
Approximate acreage available for development 37.98
¹ It is assumed that over the entire study area approximately 20% of parcels will utilize permeable
pavement

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.

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.

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

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

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.

RIVER STREET STREETSCAPE REVITALIZATION PLAN

1
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

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 .
Recently repaved section of River Street near the Judd Bridge
Intersection. Note Warren County plans to install new crosswalks and
stop signs.

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

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

The Chazen Companies

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.

The Chazen Companies

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

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Location Analysis

Electric Vehicle Charging Station Location Analysis

Prepared by: A/GFTC

February 2015

Introduction
Interest in alternative fuel cars is growing. In the A/GFTC area, electric or hybrid vehicles are registered
to owners in all but one zip code
1. Currently, the dominant type of alternative fuel vehicle is the non‐
plug‐in Hybrid, with 1,542 vehicles registered in the A/GFTC area. There are currently 70 vehicles
registered in the region which require plug‐in charging, including full‐size electric vehicles, Global
Electric Motorcars (also known as GEM vehicles), and
plug‐in hybrids. As deployment of plug‐in vehicles
continues to increase, A/GFTC can provide data regarding potential locations for Level II Electric Vehicle
charging stations. These types of charging stations supply 240 volts and can charge vehicles much faster
than a standard 120 volt plug.
There are currently seven
charging stations within the A/GFTC region ‐ four are located at hotels or
private businesses and are not intended to be used by members of the public. Two stations located at
Glens Falls Hospital, as well as one at Green Mountain Electric Supply on Corinth Road in Queensbury,
are available for public
use. Electric vehicles have also been noted using Level 1 charging in outlets
under the South Street Parking Pavilion in Glens Falls. As interest in electric and plug‐in hybrid vehicles
grow, demand for charging stations is also anticipated to increase.
Scope of Analysis
As an initial planning product, this
analysis includes only those municipalities within the Glens Falls
urbanized area, which includes the City of Glens Falls, the villages of Hudson Falls, South Glens Falls, Fort
Edward, and Lake George, and portions of the towns of Queensbury, Kingsbury, Moreau, Fort Edward,
and Lake George. This area was selected as the
most likely location for the initial deployment of public
EV Charging Stations. However, this analysis was designed to be easily replicated for any municipality
within the A/GFTC region.
This analysis is focused on public parking lots. This includes any facility owned by the municipality which
has surface parking spaces that
are used by the public, such as municipal centers, parks and recreation
areas, and public parking lots. These were identified using parcel ownership and land use codes as
identified in the data provided by the assessor of each municipality. The number of spaces in each lot
was identified though aerial photographs
or site visits.2 Public Works departments and firehouses were
not included as part of this analysis; however, future planning efforts could include these facilities.
In addition, the methodology outlined below could be applied to private facilities as well. Many
companies are choosing to locate Type II charging stations within their parking lots. This
can be a
favorable service for existing customers as well as an amenity which may attract a new customer base.

1 All data regarding electric vehicle ownership provided by NYSERDA 2 Some parking areas are unpaved or lack discernible pavement striping; the number of spaces in these lots was
estimated.

2
Methodology
The methodology for this project was driven by the availability of data and the goal of providing an
analysis useful to local municipalities. Since Type II charging stations require a few hours to charge a
vehicle, it was determined that duration of parking was the most important factor.
A 1/4 mile radius was
drawn around each parking area. This is equivalent to approximately a 5‐minute walk, a distance often
used in planning analyses as the maximum desirable walking distance. Within the radius of each parking
area, the potential for long‐ duration parking was tabulated using the following
statistics:
 Employment‐based activities. This data, supplied by NYSDOT through InfoGroup, includes
statistics on all businesses with more than 10 full‐time employees. (Note: Glens Falls Hospital
was excluded from the analysis because the facility already houses two on‐site charging
stations.) Two types of data were tracked:
o Number
of businesses with more than 10 employees. Many small businesses have
limited parking facilities dedicated for employees (if any). Providing charging stations in
areas with a high density of businesses could increase the likelihood that the charging
stations will be used.
o Number of employees.  This statistic allows the municipality
to determine how many
people are employed at the businesses listed above.
 Tourism/Lifestyle‐based activities. This data was provided by land use codes assigned by the
assessor.
o Long‐duration uses. These include any uses where the visit duration for an activity could
reasonably average 2 or more hours. This
includes theaters and other entertainment
venues, convention centers, active recreation areas, libraries, municipal centers and
courts, park‐and‐ride lots, and religious uses.
o Medium‐duration uses. These include activities which are not of long duration, but
could be combined with similar activities to add up to several hours. For
example,
shopping in a downtown and then eating lunch, or attending a medical appointment
and going to the post office. Uses include retail stores, restaurants, medical offices,
offices, post offices, passive recreation areas, playgrounds, and cemeteries.
 Proximity to transit. The number of GGFT transit service lines was tabulated, to allow
for
multimodal activity.

Using the Analysis
Each community may have a different goal for promoting the
use of electric vehicles, so a variety of data has been
provided. For example, a community could promote business
development by using the employment‐based data to
identify potential locations for charging stations. Similarly,
municipalities with
a tourist‐based economy could use the
long‐ and medium‐duration activities as the deciding factor,
so that the charging stations are more useful for visitors.
In addition to the tabular analysis, there are other
considerations for the location of a charging station. These
include:
 Visibility
. Consider locating charging stations in
spaces which are highly visible from major streets,
rather than those located behind buildings or at the
end of long driveways. This will raise awareness of
the station and increase usage. If low‐visibility spaces
are determined to be a high priority, consider adding
directional
signage.
 Parking Restrictions
. Some parking areas have time
restrictions or are fee‐based. Consider locating
charging stations in areas with minimal restrictions,
to promote usage.
 Pavement/Parking Infrastructure
. Several of the
parking areas included in this analysis are unmarked
or the pavement stripes have deteriorated.
Installation of a charging station may necessitate re‐
paving or re‐striping these facilities, as well as
improvements to accommodate the requirements of
the Americans with Disabilities act. In addition, there
are recommended
design guidelines for dimension,
signage, striping, and access of charging stations. See
Siting And Design Guidelines For Electric Vehicle
Supply Equipment for more information.
 Electrical Infrastructure
. Not all of the parking areas
included in this analysis have the necessary electrical
infrastructure in place to facilitate installation. See
sidebar for more information.
CONNECTION TO POWER
“When installing EVSE or EVSE‐ready
wiring, a dedicated circuit may be
required or optimal. This can be
added to an existing panel, or planned
for in new construction. Dedicated
circuits may require a new conduit, in
addition to the conduit running from
the panel to the EVSE’s
location. Costs
rise as cable length increases due to
the installation costs of construction
and trenching. Experienced installers
recommend not exceeding 25 feet of
conduit from panel to EVSE site, but
this will vary widely.
Most facilities have accessible 120V
circuits sufficient to power level 1
EVSE. Level 2 charging
requires 208‐
240 volts and at least 15‐30 amps.
Many jurisdictions require or
recommend a dedicated branch circuit
for level 2 charging. The existing
electrical panel in most installations,
especially older structures
constructed prior to 1960, will not
have the system capacity to handle
large and continuous loads. While
level
2 EVSE is similar to other
household appliances like clothes
dryers, the continuous nature of the
load may be a burden on the system.
Installation of dedicated branch
circuits/new panels may reduce safety
risk and assist with peak load
management in scenarios with
multiple charging vehicles.”

1 . 1 | S T U D Y A R E A
The analysis area for this transportation study is the Jackson Heights Elementary School campus and
the adjacent street network, including the Jackson Avenue and Sagamore Street intersection.

SCHOOL CHARACTERISTICS
Jackson Heights Elementary School is one of three e lementary schools in the Glens Falls School
District. The 75*year*old school serves kindergarten through grade 4, and currently has a population
of 252 students. Figure 2 illustrates annual
enrollment figures for the last five years. A
re*districting occurred in 2011 which
explains the jump in enrollment between the
2010*11 school year and the 2011*12 school
year. Enrolment has varied, but it is
generally considered stable.
ADJACENT STREET NETWORK
Jackson Heights Elementary School is located at the corner of Sagamore Street and
Jackson Avenue, both classified as minor collector roads and seeing relatively low

volumes. A reduced speed school zone of 15 miles per
hour is designated by speed limit signs and
school warning signs in the vicinity of the campus. The speed limit is 30 miles per hour outside the
school zone. Sanford Street and Ridge Street, desig nated as minor arterials, are located within half a
mile of the school and have speed limits of 30 miles per hour.
Many side streets in the
study area are offset
from each other when
they intersect a main
road. This geometry
creates longer crossing
distances and
complicates vehicle
turning movements.
The Jackson*Sagamore intersection is an
example of this
geometry with the
western leg of Jackson
Avenue farther to the south than the eastern
leg (Figure 3). The
northern crossing on
Sagamore Street is
about 78 feet along the
crosswalk and the
eastern crossing on
Jackson Avenue is about 58 feet along the crosswalk. Pedestrians acce ssing the school by these crossings will require
additional time to cross than at typical crossings.
With the exception of Mauro Avenue, sidewalks are pr esent on at least one side of the street and, in
many cases, on both sides throughout the study area . This network of walkways is generally sufficient
to provide a route to the school from most parts of the school district; sidewalks are recommended
on Mauro Avenue to further encourage pedestrian acce ss to the school campus. Curb ramps in some
places are not flush with the pavement, and maintena nce is required on some sidewalk sections.
TRAVEL OPTIONS TO SCHOOL
Children are able to walk to school, ride their bicycle, or be driven to school. The school district is
classified as a walking school district, meaning th at bus service to and from the school is not offered
for most students. It is assumed that children live close enough to the school that they are able to
walk or bike, but many parents choose to drive their child. Driving is more common on winter days
and during inclement weather.

Third grade students may participate in a bicycle
safety education program called the Bike Rodeo,
which is offered once per year as the weather warms
up in the spring. Third graders may not bike to
school unless they have participated in this program ;
all fourth graders are allowed to bike to school
regardless of past participation. Bicycle racks are
provided in the front and rear of the school, and
students are required to walk their bikes on school
property. During a site visit with ideal weather
conditions for active commuting, the front rack was
well utilized but had room for additional bicycles.
The rear rack was empty, likely because students do
not arrive near its location. It may be intended for
school employees or for use of the adjacent
recreational fields.
In 2006 and 2008, studies were conducted into travel
mode choice of parents at surrounding schools. The
main reasons for choosing to drive a student to
school rather than walk or bike were safety related ,
including perceptions about crime, and concerns
related to traffic and students walking alone.
DROP/OFF PROCEDURES
Kindergarten through second grade enters at the
main entrance A on Jackson Avenue, and third and
fourth graders enter at entrance C on Sagamore
Street (Figure 4). Students line up in front of the ir
respective entrances starting at 8:10 and are admitt ed
into the building between 8:20 and 8:30. Although
aides are present to monitor the students while the y
are lined up, the school is not technically respons ible
for the students until they enter the building. Thi s
arrangement encourages parents to stay parked in
front of the school until they see their child ente r the
building, which adds to congestion. The school
places cones along the curb to discourage parents
from parking (Figure 5), but parents will attempt t o
park in between them, just outside of them, and
occasionally drive over a cone.
FIGURE 5: SIGNAGE AND CONES ALONG
JACKSON AVENUE TO DISCOURAGE

Signs located along Jackson Avenue and Sagamore Stre
et were noted as being confusing, with some
signs saying “no parking stopping or standing any t ime” located between other contradictory “drop*
off and pickup only” signs (Figure 5).
Jackson Avenue frequently experiences congestion dur ing drop*off time. People will park on both
sides of Jackson Avenue, which leaves little room for through traffic or parents exiting. Given the
timing, parents are usually in a hurry to leave, and the congestion and resulting frustration can lead to
arguments between parents. Minor fender benders wer e reported as common, and the school’s front
office receives many complaints. Inclement winter we ather can compound the situation causing more
people to drive, slippery road conditions, and tall snow banks along the side of the road, roadway
width and student access to the school. Several time s in the 2013*2014 school year winter, students
waited inside from 8:10*8:20 to shield them from ver y cold days.
In contrast, drop*off at the Sagamore Street entran ce is not perceived as a problem. The roadway is
wider and longer, giving cars more room to maneuver. Parents are also less likely to wait for the older
children, which reduces congestion. Given the lack o f concern over the Sagamore entrance,
mitigation measures focus on the Jackson Avenue circ ulation and congestion through the Jackson
Avenue / Sagamore Street intersection.
PICK/UP PROCEDURES
Pick*up procedures differ in that many parents arri ve early, park, and wait for their children. Students
also may wait for their parents outside the school until their parent arrives. They cannot leave the
school until they see their parent. Kindergarten st udents are dismissed at 2:40 and then the remainder
of the students are dismissed at 2:45. Like drop*of f, grades three and four are staged on Sagamore
Street while the lower grades are staged on Jackson Avenue.
Generally, pick*up is more orderly than drop*off be cause some parents park well before their
children are dismissed. Some parents will also park on streets not immediately adjacent to the school
and walk to the school entrance to retrieve their ch ild. Parents and children also tend to congregate
on the sidewalk after school is dismissed, and this mass of people can create an obstacle for children
on bicycles, scooters, and skateboards, particularl y for inexperienced riders. On days where more
parents drive, such as rainy days, the congestion is more significant and causes unsafe situations.
Similar to drop*off, cones are placed along Jackson Avenue and Sagamore Street to discourage
parking.
CROSSING GUARDS
To assist the students in travelling to and from sc hool safely, a crossing guard is located at each of
three intersections:
· Jackson Avenue and Sagamore Street (All*way stop con trolled)
· Jackson Avenue and Ridge Street (Signalized)
· Sanford Street and Ridge Street (Signalized)
The crossing guards are part*time employees of the Glens Falls Police Department whose main
responsibility is to ensure that students cross the street safely. A traffic officer will work with crossing

guards when they start until they are comfortable with their duties. At unsignalized intersections, a
guard is instructed to stop all traffic to allow a pedestrian to safely navigate the intersection.
Crossing guard procedures were observed at the Jacks on/Sagamore intersection during the site visit.
When a pedestrian approached the intersection, the crossing guard would walk to the center of the
intersection and stop all traffic, including vehicle s that would not be in conflict with the pedestrian ,
then motion the pedestrian to cross the street.
Stopping all traffic prevents turning vehicles from b eing in conflict with pedestrians crossing the
street. However, it also stops some through movements unnecessarily and contributes to queuing at
the approaches. Although observed delays were shorte r than is typically deemed a problem, drivers
became frustrated at not being allowed to proceed w hen they perceived that there was no conflict.
Traffic was also lighter than normal on the day of the site visit due to the large number of students
walking and biking. The long crossing distances com pound this problem by increasing wait time. In
some cases, drivers proceeded through the intersecti on despite the presence of the crossing guard.
This situation put the crossing guard at risk of co llision and increased the likelihood of unintended
vehicle*pedestrian conflict, particularly for the el ementary school age children who may not be aware
of the potential danger of the intersections.
1 . 2 | P U R P O S E A N D N E E D
The purpose of this study is to develop short term a nd long*term recommendations to improve the
safety and use of Jackson Avenue in front of Jackso n Heights Elementary School and the Jackson
Avenue/Sagamore Street intersection during drop*off and pick*up times at the elementary school.
The need for this study is demonstrated by the cong estion and unsafe conditions in the study area.
Specifically:
· Arguments and fender benders between parents droppi ng off and picking up their children
are common in the study area.
· Driver frustration is common and frustrated drivers a re more likely to engage in unsafe
behaviors.
· Elementary school students are less aware their sur roundings than older students or adults
and therefore more likely to unknowingly place them selves in conflict with vehicular traffic.
· A car hit a student on a bicycle close to the study area.
· Congestion during peak times leaves inadequate space for emergency vehicles to park and
maneuver in front of the school.
· Snow events may result in unplowed sidewalks and sno wbanks in pedestrian paths, resulting
in greater potential for pedestrian*vehicle conflict , particularly in the morning.
These conditions present a clear danger to roadway users, both pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers.
It should be noted that the peak pick*up and drop*o ff periods are short, traffic volumes are low, and
the traffic delay and congestion exhibited at the s chool are acceptable according to industry
standards. Under similar motorist delay circumstanc es in commercial areas or along busy roadways,
an intersection would most likely not exhibit unsaf e conditions. It is likely the impatience of the road
users, or at least some of the road users, that are causing this danger. By increasing the perception of

7

acceptable delay and the time required to drop off
and pick up their children, the safety issues may
be resolved.
Unfortunately, appealing to poorly behaving drivers i s rarely a viable mitigation strategy. This report
will focus on two areas with the goal of improving s afety. First, we look to minimize the time drivers
and pedestrians spend in conflict points, and, idea lly, remove conflicts. Second, we explore ways to
reduce the congestion and increase the efficiency o f the intersection, thereby reducing frustration
and reducing dangerous behavior. Some strategies wor k towards both of these goals.

This analysis examines turning movements at the intersection of Jackson Avenue and Sagamore
Street on Wednesday, May 14, 2014 during the mornin g drop*off and afternoon pick*up times as well

RSG performed turning movement and pedestrian crossi ngs counts from 7:40*8:40 AM and 2:15*
3:15 PM to capture traffic patterns while students were entering and leaving the school. Data was
recorded in five*minute increments to capture the sh ort peak related to school opening and closing.
The weather was clear and warm, which likely encour aged children to walk or ride their bicycles to
school. On cold, snowy, or rainy days, there are li kely more vehicles present and fewer, if any, people
commuting on foot and bicycle. Figure 8 shows the o bserved morning and afternoon turning
movement and pedestrian counts.
FIGURE 6: MORNING AND AFTERNOON TURNING MOVEMENT AN D PEDESTRIAN COUNTS AT THE
INTERSECTION OF JACKSON AVENUE AND SAGAMORE STREET

In the morning, half the vehicle traffic is traveling northbound on Sagamore and half of that
continues north on Sagamore. The rest of the traffi c is approximately evenly distributes between the
other three approaches.
Pedestrians crossing a street are shown in a box be hind the turning movements. Bicycles riding on
the sidewalk are included in these numbers. The maj ority of pedestrians (103, including 14 bicycles)
cross Jackson to the east of the intersection while equal numbers (15 at each crossing) cross
Sagamore north and south of the intersection. This pattern indicates that the majority of pedestrian
are traveling northbound on the sidewalk adjacent to Sagamore on their way to and from the school.
In most cases, an adult was observed walking with a child or group of children to the school and
then the same adult was observed walking in the oppo site direction alone after dropping the child

off. In this case, the adult was double counted, i.e. counted crossing the street first with the child and
then again without the child.
Only three bicycles were observed riding on the stre et during this period.
The afternoon vehicle traffic exhibits similar trend s to the morning with the majority of vehicles
traveling northbound on Sagamore and the remainder o f the traffic approximately evenly distributed
between the other three approaches. Overall, vehicle volumes are slightly lower in the afternoon than
in the morning.
Similar to the morning, the majority of pedestrians (102, including 3 bicycles) cross Jackson to the
east of the intersection. However, a large number of pedestrians (57) also cross Sagamore to the
north of the intersection, while fewer (12) cross S agamore south of the intersection. These numbers
are consistent with observations of parents parking on Jackson west of the intersection and
Sagamore south of the intersection, then walking to the school to pick up their child.
Five bicycles were observed riding on the street duri ng this period.
2 . 2 | S C H O O L P E A K T R A F F I C V O L U M E S
Figure 7 and Figure 8 show the number of vehicles an d pedestrians utilizing the intersection every
five minutes. A clear peak in pedestrian volumes is seen between 8:15 and 8:20 AM when the school
begins to let children enter. Vehicular traffic al so peaks at 8:20, although the trend is less
pronounced. In the afternoon, a clear peak in pede strian traffic is observed at 2:45, which is when
the majority of children are let out of school. How ever, vehicle traffic is largely constant throughout
this period. The lack of a spike in vehicular traffi c is likely due to some parents using the intersect ion
well before school lets out and then parking until they see their child. Others will park before the
intersection and walk to the school to pick up thei r child or not drive at all, thereby avoiding the
intersection. Inclement weather may increase the nu mber of parents driving to pick up their child,
which could create a spike around 2:40*2:45.

While no records were available regarding minor collisions, stakeholders noted that a
large number of crashes have occurred on
Jackson Avenue near the school. These are likely low speed collisions associated with vehicles
arriving or departing the school, so damage would be minor. However, the existence of these
collisions shows that congestion is a problem in th e area and that some parents are not paying

adequate attention to their surroundings as they enter or exit the school. This situation is particularly
dangerous in the presence of young children who may be less observant of traffic. Even at low
speeds, a vehicle collision with a child could cause significant injuries.

The primary issues that have arisen out of the study are summarized below:
· Congestion during pick*up and drop*off cause to arg uments and fender benders
· Driver frustration is common and can lead to unsafe behaviors.
· Vehicles entering and exiting the school area may c onflict with the children also occupying
that space.
· Congestion and queuing seem excessive for the amount of traffic present in the study area
· Congestion during peak times leaves inadequate space for emergency vehicles to park and
maneuver in front of the school.
The following sections discuss potential strategies that may be employed to address these issues.
4 . 1 | O N E / W A Y J A C K S O N A V E N U E
The Jackson Heights Parent Teacher Association (PTA ) requested that this study consider a one*way
Jackson Avenue. This realignment has a number of adva ntages:
· Simplifies driving on Jackson Avenue and turning movem ents at the intersection
· Prevents vehicles from attempting to turn around on J ackson Avenue
· Unused travel lane can be used for pick*up and drop* off
· Reduces the number of children crossing the Jackson Avenue
· Emergency vehicles will have an easier time navigating the street
It is suggested that Jackson Avenue be made one*way
westbound from Mauro Street to the intersection wit h
Sagamore Street. Cars will drive on the same side of the street
as the school making drop*off and pick*up easier. I f there is
inadequate space for arriving vehicles, they will spi ll back into
Mauro Street rather than the Jackson*Sagamore inter section.
Any proposed changes to the circulation along Jacks on Avenue
should be reviewed and approved by the appropriate em ergency
response personnel.
SHORT/TERM
A one*way Jackson Avenue can be created by placing a temporary barrier such as the one shown in
Figure 10 at the entrance to the eastbound lane of Jackson Avenue. It should be placed such that
drivers exiting Jackson Avenue will see pedestrians w alking in the crosswalk. A Do Not Enter sign
should be placed in front of the barrier to instruc t drivers not enter there. Additionally, a sign telling
drivers to enter at Mauro Street would be useful. Id eally, parents should be notified of this change
before the start of the school year to minimize con fusion when school opens. This barrier should be
FIGURE 10: COLLAPSIBLE
TEMPORARY BARRIER

11

removed at the end of the drop*off and pick*up perio
ds to allow two*way traffic on Jackson Avenue
at off*peak times.
With Jackson Avenue operating as one*way, the southe rn side of the street could be designated for
through traffic while the northern side serves as a drop*off and pick*up point for parents. This lane
use will enable through traffic to avoid the school traffic, but it will only be effective if school traffic
leaves after dropping off or picking up a child. Par ents remaining parked until their child enters the
school will prevent the queue of school traffic from advancing and defeat the purpose of the two
lanes. Lane separation may be accomplished with con es.
LONG/TERM
Setting up and breaking down the signage required for a one*way Jackson Avenue everyday may
become too burdensome for school staff, and a perma nent one*way Jackson Avenue could be
implemented. Simple “Do Not Enter” LED signs may be activated during peak periods, or a more
permanent restriping of the roadway with curb bulb outs at the exit onto Sagamore Street may be
appropriate. This change could have effects beyond s chool operations and an engineering study
would be required to determine costs and benefits a ssociated with making Jackson Avenue one*way.
4 . 2 | S H O R T E N C R O S S I N G D I S T A N C E S A T J A C K S O N A N D S A G A M O R E
SHORT/TERM
A barrier at the entrance to Jackson will allow pedestrians to cross half of Jackson Avenue before
they are in conflict with vehicles, which will reduc e crossing times at the most utilized crosswalk of
the intersection. Shortened crossing times in conju nction with modified crossing guard procedures
that allow non*conflicting traffic to proceed (see below) will significantly reduce congestion at the
Sagamore*Jackson intersection.
The north crossing on Sagamore Street is the longes t at the intersections and is heavily utilized
during pick*up. Shortening that crossing distance i s also desirable, but the offset intersection
provides no short*term mean
for doing so. Any attempt to
square off the intersection by
reducing the radius of the
northeast corner would likely
restrict vehicles turning
westbound*right out of
Jackson Avenue.
LONG/TERM
Bulb*outs on the northeast
and northwest corners of the
intersection would significantly
reduce the crossing distance,
illustrated in Figure 11. The
FIGURE 11: LONG/TERM CROSSING DISTANCE
REDUCTION

northeast corner currently consists of a wide turn that causes the two longest crossing distances at
the intersection. Extending the sidewalk into the i ntersections also allows parents and children to
congregate on the corner without blocking sidewalk traffic. Finally, this layout reduces the amount of
lane width available to vehicles, which will have a tr affic calming effect. However, this layout will also
likely restrict commercial truck and fire truck man euverability to turn in some directions and an
engineering study will be required to determine the most appropriate design.
Combined with a permanent one*way circulation of Ja ckson Avenue, a bulb out on the southeast
corner of the intersection could further reduce the crossing distance.
4 . 3 | M O D I F Y C R O S S I N G G U A R D P R O C E D U R E S
The current procedure of stopping all traffic when a pedestrian comes to a crosswalk would provide
maximum safety to the pedestrian if drivers consiste ntly followed the crossing guard’s directions.
However, there is potential for unforeseen vehicle*pe destrian conflicts when a driver fails to yield to
the crossing guard. It also creates extra delay for vehicles and contributes to driver frustration. An
alternative method of crossing pedestrians that woul d help alleviate some congestion without
compromising pedestrian safety is outlined below.
Typically, at a four*way stop controlled intersection, drivers will take turns proceeding
through the intersection based on the order of
arrival. Pedestrians could be crossed in a way
that minimizes conflict with vehicle procession
order. For example, if a northbound through
movement is about to proceed through the
intersection, the guard could choose to cross
pedestrians on Jackson Avenue (north*south)
but hold pedestrians on Sagamore Street (east*
west). Alternatively, the guard could choose to stop all traffic if she feels that is warranted in
particular situation.
When crossing pedestrians along a single leg, the g uard should stand in the middle of the crosswalk
with her “STOP” paddle raised when pedestrians are crossing. This will provide an additional visual
clue to drivers that pedestrians are present. Standi ng on the crosswalk that is currently being utilized
will allow other movements to proceed normally. Pede strians should only cross when directed to do
so by the crossing guard. The guard will need to mo ve around the intersection at times to be in the
correct place as pedestrians approach.
An important additional step will be to reeducate s tudents and parents to pay attention to the
crossing guard’s directions. Currently, pedestrians do not need to wait when they approach the
intersection. They will need to learn to watch the guard and wait for a signal to cross. It may be best
to start this new option at the beginning of the sc hool year so that reeducation is not attempting to
overcome any ingrained habits. The school should sen d a letter to parents alerting them of this
change in the summer and again close to the start o f the school year.

Much of the congestion along Jackson Avenue results from parents remaining parked until their child
enters the school building. The school policy of no t being responsible for the students until they are
inside while allowing parents to drop off their chi ldren before the school is open creates a
responsibility for parents to remain in view of thei r children and therefore parked until 8:20. There
are two approaches to addressing this issue: provide more parking by either spreading the staging
area out or by building an off*site lot, or changin g the school policy to receive the children as they
arrive prior to 8:20.
SPREAD OUT THE STAGING AREAS
Currently, two grades utilize entrance C to the bui lding, and three grades utilize entrance A, leaving
an unused entrance at B. It is suggested that Secon d Grade stage may use this entrance, spreading out
the drop*off and pick*up staging areas along Sagamo re Street, which has been noted as having excess
capacity.
DESIGNATE A SUPERVISED STAGING AREA FOR BEFORE SCHO OL OPENS
If the school could modify the policy on student arrival and accept children prior to the school day,
parents would not need to remain parked. Children c ould enter the school at their current entrances
and proceed to the back recess area, or wait inside during inclement weather events in the cafeteria or
gymnasium.
In the long*term, the school could build a new park ing lot on the northern edge of the property and
use this as new drop*off area. Illustrated in Figur e 13, children would exit the vehicle in the eastern
circular turn around and drop off area. The area to the east this new circulating lot could be fenced
off, which would provide children with a safe, enclo sed area to run and play before school started.

FIGURE 13: NEW PARKING AND DROP OFF AREA NORTH OF THE SCHOOL

Final Report Adirondack / Glens Falls Transportation Council

14 October 3, 2014

The proposed lot could also provide approximately 20 new parking spaces and provide truck access
to the rear of the school. Additional study would b e required to determine the exact dimension of the
new lot and how best to handle truck traffic.
COORDINATE SIGNING
Drop*off and pick*up locations should be clearly ma rked. Signs that disallow stopping or standing
should not be used in pick*up locations. Although s topping or standing can be interpreted as
different from dropping off or picking up, it is be st to be unambiguous with sign wording. A sign
directing vehicles to pull forwards should be instal led along Jackson Avenue to encourage drivers
pull as far forward as possible when dropping*off o r picking*up children.
4 . 5 | S N O W R E M O V A L A N D S T O R A G E P O L I C E S
Snow on Jackson Avenue shoulders reduces capacity an d can block emergency vehicle access. The
school should work with the City department respons ible for plowing to prioritize Jackson Avenue
roadway and sidewalk plowing during the school year and ensure that the street if fully cleared of
snow prior to school. Snow can be stored in the spa ces on the corner of Jackson Avenue and Mauro
Street.
4 . 6 | E X P A N D A C T I V E T R A N S P O R T A T I O N T O / F R O M S C H O O L
Increasing the number of students that utilize active transportation such as walking or biking as their
primary transportation method to school will decrea se the number of vehicles accessing the campus,
thereby reducing congestion and queuing. Additional benefits to active commuting include:
· Increased levels of physical activity,
· Improved alertness,
· Heightened self*image and independence,
· Contribution to healthy social and emotional develop ment, and
· Increased likelihood of future active lifestyles.
As witnessed during the site visit, Jackson Heights already has a significant number of students and
parents that walk to school. To increase the mode s hare of active transportation, the following
actions are recommended:
· Close any remaining sidewalk gaps, particularly alo ng Mauro Avenue.
· Develop a Safe Route to School plan to ensure that s afe pedestrian routes exist and are
maintained. Share the plan with parents to encourag e them to use safe routes.
· Educate parents on the health, lifestyle, and educa tional benefits of biking and walking to
school; encourage students to walk or bike to schoo l on their own.
· Educate parents on the reality of safety risks on w alking or biking to school, and compare to
the generally higher risk of driving.
· Conduct a second “Bike Rodeo” earlier in the school year to give fourth graders a refresher
on bicycle safety, and provide additional opportunit ies for third graders to bike to school.
· Encourage the formation of “walking school busses” where a group of students walk
together. Walking school busses increase student sa fety while reducing the amount of time
required by parents. See the appendix for additiona l information on walking school busses.

Carpooling will reduce the number of vehicles access
ing the campus and reduce the time required of
parents. The school should try to connect parents i nterested in carpooling who live close to each
other. Implementing a staging area for before schoo l starts will also allow parents of children in
different grades to share carpooling duties.

Of the short*term proposals, all of them can be imp lemented immediately in the 2014 – 2015 school
year and will likely improve congestion and safety. Some of the proposals, such as temporary, one*
way closure of Jackson Avenue, may be best approache d as a short term pilot study with parental
feedback. Others, such as encouraging greater active transportation, conducting a bike rodeo earlier
in the school year, and moving the Second Grade entr ance, can be implemented immediately.
The long*term proposals are also all valid recommend ations. The behavioral surveys and
programmatic modifications to encourage greater wal king and biking should be pursued given their
relatively low initial cost. The bulb*outs and reduc ed crossing distance at the Jackson*Sagamore
intersection will yield the greatest improvement in pedestrian safety and congestion mitigation. As
part of a comprehensive strategy to encourage walkin g and biking, it is recommended that the School
District and City of Glens Falls collaborate with t he A/GFTC to seek funding for the reduced
crossing widths at the Jackson*Sagamore intersectio n, perhaps in conjunction with new sidewalk
construction along Mauro Avenue.

Safely Crossing the Street
Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 1
Adult school crossing guards play an important role in
the lives of children who walk or bicycle to school � They
help children safely cross the street at key locations � They
also remind drivers of the presence of pedestrians � The
presence of adult crossing guards can lead to more parents
feeling comfortable about their children walking or bicy –
cling to school� While the primar y role of an adult school
crossing guard is to guide children safely across the street,
children also remain responsible for their own safety � In
this manner, a guard plays another key function–a role
model helping children develop the skills necessar y to
cross streets safely at all times�
The design and implementation of an adult school
crossing guard program is largely the decision of local
communities� Some federal guidance exists and there
are some state and local requirements pertaining to the
operation of guard programs, but these var y across the
countr y � State or local law enforcement, education or
transportation agencies can provide infor mation on
state and local requirements �
Ideally, the development of an adult school crossing
guard program should involve a communit y partnership
that includes the expertise of law enforcement agencies,
traf fic engineer ing or planning departments and school
systems� Working together with parents, this lead orga-
nization or group identifies the locations where adult
school crossing guards are needed and the appropr iate
number of guards for each location � The group estab-
lishes crossing procedures for a variety of traffic situa –
tions as well as hires, trains and equips the guards and
secures long-term funding for the program �
This document describes federal standards and recom –
mendations for adult school crossing guard practices and
provides examples of how some states and communities
address these issues �
The presence of adult crossing
guards can lead to more
parents feeling comfortable
about their children walking
or bicycling to school.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 2
The Role of the Adult School Crossing Guard
The primar y responsibility of an adult school crossing
guard is to help children safely cross the street as they
walk or bicycle to and from school �
A well-trained adult school crossing guard can help to ac –
complish the following goals:
• Discourage children from behaving unsafely near
traffic, such as darting into the street without look –
ing or crossing against a traffic signal� A guard can
encourage safe behavior by all pedestrians at the
school crossing�
• Use existing gaps in traffic to help students cross
safely� When the natural traffic flow does not allow
enough time for children to safely cross a street, a
guard may need to create gaps by stopping traffic
temporarily � The guard stops traffic with hand sig-
nals or a STOP paddle, then verbally directs chil –
dren to cross the street� A guard is always the first
person in the street and the last person out of the
street�
• Alert motorists that pedestrians are in the process of
using the school crossing �
• Observe and report any incidents or conditions that
present a potential safety hazard to the school chil –
dren or the guard�
An adult school crossing guard should not direct traffic
unless specifically trained as a traffic control officer �

Elements of an Adult School Crossing
Guard Program
Bringing together the right members of the community
is the first step in creating a successful adult school cross –
ing guard program� The school administration, teachers,
local traffic engineers, law enforcement officers and par –
ents are among the partners that bring information and
expertise to the process and make the steps in setting up
an adult school crossing guard program an easier process
to manage � A local committee consisting of this group
along with other interested members of the community
should be established to oversee an adult school crossing
guard program �
The adult school crossing guard lead organization is re –
sponsible for:
• identifying locations where guards are needed, the
number of guards and proper signage for each loca –
tion, and the time period for crossings;
• hiring and training guards in their responsibilities;
• providing uniforms and equipment to help guards
effectively perform their duties; and
• securing funds to manage the program.

MUTCD Provides National Guidance
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
2003 (MUTCD) contains national standards for the
installation and maintenance of traffic control de-
vices and is published by the Federal Highway Ad-
ministration under the Code of Federal Regulation.
Some MUTCD statements are considered manda-
tory, while others are recommended practices, per-
missive practices, or simply statements of support.
Part 7 of the MUTCD addresses Traffic Controls for
School Areas (See Resources)

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 4
Identifying the Locations Where Adult School Crossing Guards are Needed
No absolute national criteria exist for identifying which street crossings in a community require an adult school
crossing guard. The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) provides some general federal guidance
on how to determine the need for a guard at a particular location � Some states and local governments provide fur-
ther guidance or recommendations, but the conditions under which a guard is assigned to a particular location var y
around the countr y � The local lead organization decides the selection criteria by which adult school crossing guards
are assigned to crossings � Location decisions reflect relevant federal, state and local policies and funding issues, and are
tailored to the individual conditions and needs of a community �
T he loca l lead org a n i z at ion ident i fie s locat ion s for g u a rd s
by establishing criteria and gathering information to help
them determine the need� Adult school crossing guards
shou ld be a ssig ned to school crossi ng s on ly a f ter the need
is established� Consistently applied local cr iter ia al low a
community to provide guard service where schools need
them the most � No set of guidelines, however, can cover
all the unique conditions that may exist � There are times
when traffic engineering judgment is needed to deter –
m ine when and where an adult school crossing g uard
should be used �
Information to consider when identifying guard placement
includes:
The age of the students who are crossing.
General ly, younger children need more assistance than older
children because they have a more difficult time judging
the speed and distance of approaching vehicles and may be
tempted to cross during an unsafe gap �
The width of the street and the number of lanes of
traffic students must cross.
Wide streets with multiple lanes of traffic typically require
the use of two or more adult school crossing guards �
The sight distance at the crossing.
These conditions are measured from the student’s and driv –
er’s perspectives and for actual vehicle operating speeds� Sight distance can be affected by temporar y obstructions,
such as parked vehicles and piled snow near the crossing�
Safe gaps in traffic.
Are the gaps long enough and frequent enough to allow safe crossing opportunities? The ITE “School Trip Safet y
Program Guidelines” (See Resources) states that on the average, at least one adequate gap should occur each minute
to allow for children to cross without undue delay or risk � However, other factors, such as volume of child pedestri-
ans or pedestrian groups should also be considered when determining the need for adult school crossing guards or
Defining “A Safe Gap in Traffic”
The MUTCD 2003 Section 7E.02 states that adult
school crossing guards “may be used to provide
gaps in traffic at a school crossing where an engi-
neering study has shown that adequate gaps need
to be created and where authorized by law.” An
acceptable gap may be defined as the minimum
time between vehicles that 85 percent of all groups
of pedestrians waiting to cross a street will accept
as adequate to cross the street, according to the
Institute of Transportation Engineer’s “School Trip
Safety Program Guidelines.”
If there is at least one safe gap per minute of cross-
ing time, there may be no need for any special traf-
fic controls. If, however, there is not at least one
safe gap per minute, officials should consider using
an adult crossing guard or traffic signal to create
safe gaps.
In practice, this analysis is time-consuming to cal-
culate and may discourage agencies from attempt-
ing such an evaluation. Traffic speed, width of the
street and the age of the children are also important
considerations in determining if a crossing location
will benefit from an adult school crossing guard.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 5
other traffic control� If traffic volumes during crossing hours do not correspond to enough safe gaps, some method
to interrupt traffic should be considered, such as a crossing guard or traffic signal �
Presence of traffic control devices, including traffic
signals, signs and pavement.
If present, are the traffic controls sufficient? For example, a
signalized intersection at a school crossing location should
h ave WA L K / D ON ’ T WA L K s i g n a l s , a n d a p e d e s t r i a n pu s h
button may also be appropriate � Guards and students should
be properly trained on traffic signals relative to safe street
crossings�
The speed of vehicles at the crossing.
Vehicles that travel faster require greater stopping distanc –
es, and younger children have more difficulty than adults
judging the speed of a fast-approaching vehicle �
Volumes of traffic and pedestrians.
Local transportation planning or engineering departments
can provide or help collect these data� Vehicle counts may
be readily available, but pedestrian counts will likely need
to be made during this process� The number of students
California Criteria for the Placement
of Adult School Crossing Guards
The State of California provides criteria for the place-
ment of adult school crossing guards in the MUTCD
2003, California Supplement. Adult school cross-
ing guards normally are assigned where at least 40
school pedestrians over the course of two hours each
day cross a public highway on the way to or from
school. Guards also should be considered when spe-
cial situations make it necessary to assist elementary
school pedestrians in crossing the street.
In some cases, a change in the school crossing loca-
tion is underway, but prevailing conditions require
crossing supervision until the change is completed,
so a guard should be considered. Additional criteria
are provided for specific situations, including un-
controlled crossings, stop sign-controlled crossings
and traffic signal-controlled crossings. The criteria
are based on vehicular traffic volume, vehicle speed
and the number of vehicular turning movements.
Arizona Requirements for the Placement
of Adult School Crossing Guards
Arizona State Law (ARS Section 28-797-D) man-
dates an adult school crossing guard at a yellow
15 mph school crosswalk if the school crosswalk
is not adjacent to the school site. These guards are
employed by the school district. Adult school cross-
ing guards are recommended, but not required, by
state law at 15 mph school zone crossings that are
adjacent to the school site. These guards may be
either employed by the school district or be vol-
unteers, who have been trained and approved by
the school district. (Traffic Safety for School Areas
Guidelines, ADOT)
The City of Phoenix requires adult school crossing
guards for elementary school crossings on busy col-
lector streets and arterial streets. In some cases, two
guards may be recommended. At white-painted
crosswalks and signalized crossings, guards can be
recommended using a method based on observa-
tion and engineering judgment using specific criteria
such as street classification and the age of students.
Pedestrian Signal Heads
Pedestrian signal heads provide information to con-
trol pedestrian traffic. Chapter 4E of the MUTCD
lists the meaning of pedestrian signal indicators.
A steady WALK (walking person) signal means
that a pedestrian facing the signal may start to
cross the street. A flashing DON’T WALK (upraised
hand) signal means that a pedestrian shall not start
to cross the street, but that any pedestrian who
has started to cross shall finish crossing. A steady
DON’T WALK (upraised hand) signal means that a
pedestrian shall not enter the street.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 6
currently using pedestrian facilities as well as the projected pedestrian demand based on school demographics should
be determined�
The attendance boundary and walk zone for each school.
The distances that walk zones extend from schools as well as policies regarding the provision of bus service differ
among states and communities � Both can impact the number of children walking to school and the routes they take �
The distance the crossing is from a school and the type of adjacent land use.
A crossing in close prox im it y to a school w ithin a residentia l neighborhood may attract more student pedestr ians than,
for example, a crossing located further from a school surrounded by non-residential land uses �
Crash history of the crossing.
The number, type and time of day that each crash occurs at a specific location should be recorded and analyzed �
Hiring and Training Adult School Crossing Guards
The hiring, training, supervising and funding of adult
school crossing guards is typically the responsibility of lo-
cal law enforcement agencies, traffic engineering depart –
ments, individual schools or school districts�
An adult school crossing guard can be a paid employee or
a volunteer member of the community� Paid employees
may be preferred because an employer has the ability to
train, evaluate and discipline an employee � Ever y prospec-
t ive g u a r d s hou ld u nd e r g o a b a s ic phy s ic a l e x a m i n a t ion a nd
cr im inal background check � A guard should have good vi-
sion, hearing and mobility, be able to stand for long periods
of time outdoors and to communicate well with others �
It is critical that a guard can communicate clearly with
the children he or she supervises at the crossing� If a guard
cannot adequately read or understand English, training
materials must be provided in a language in which the
guard is proficient� Ideally, a guard should have good Eng-
lish language skills �

Adu lt school crossi ng g ua rd t r a i n i ng is a n essent ia l step to
help insure that the guard is performing properly � Train-
ing should be extended to substitute guards as well as
those who supervise the crossing guards � Training meth-
ods include both classroom instruction and field exercises
and should address:
• The basic traffic laws of the community.
• School zone signage and pavement markings.
Training in Florida
The State of Florida’s Department of Transportation
has developed uniform training guidelines, and each
local government in Florida that administers a school
crossing guard program is required to provide training
for its guards according to the guidelines. For more
information visit http://www.dot.state.fl.us /safety /
ped_bike /brochures /pdf/SCG%20Training%20
Guidelines2009.pdf
Training in North Carolina
According to the office of the North Carolina At-
to r n ey G e n e ral, s ch o o l cro s sing guards may b e co n-
sidered traffic control officers when proper train-
ing is provided as specified in North Carolina GS
20-114.1, the law that addresses the training and
appointment of traffic control officers. In 1998,
The Nor th Carolina Depar tment of Transpor tation’s
Division of Bicycle and Pedestrian Transportation
developed a program to train the local law enforce-
ment officers who are responsible for training adult
school crossing guards in their jurisdictions.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 7
• Proper use and purpose of traffic signs and signals.
• Methods of signaling drivers and taking advantage of traffic gaps.
• Crossing procedures and ways to teach them to children.
• Site-specific traffic factors and potential traffic hazards.
• Professional work responsibilities, including agency rules and regulations, who the guard’s supervisor is, the
proper chain of command and legal aspects of the job �
• Proper attire and behavior to remain safe and to project a positive public image. For example, while on the job, a
guard should not wear clothing that is in poor taste or that promotes alcohol, tobacco or similar products � Also,
a guard should not carr y or use tobacco products or use foul language� Adult school crossing guards project a
positive public image and serve as a role model for children. (For more information see Uniforms and Equip-
ment)
• Proper use of safety equipment.
• The safety issues and limitations of children as pedestrians.
• Procedures for crashes involving adult school crossing guards and children on their way to or from school.
• Emergency procedures. (For specific information see When an emergency situation arises under Crossing pro-
cedures)
• Protecting the health and welfare of the guard while working, including topics such as proper attire to increase vis-
ibility, the need for hydration, sun protection, bee sting treatment and how to respond to threats from loose dogs �
Uniforms and Equipment for Adult
School Crossing Guards
An adult school crossing guard wears a uniform and uses
equipment that is highly visible and easily identifiable by
the general public� This enhanced visibility allows motor-
ists and pedestrians to see the guard and the signal the
guard presents more clearly �
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices
(MUTCD) recommends that an adult school crossing
guard be uniformed so that street users and pedestrians can
recognize the guard and respond to the guards’ signals � The
guard uniform should be distinctively different from those
worn by regular law enforcement officers � Adult school
crossing guards should wear retro-reflective traffic vests �
The MUTCD provides guidelines for such high-visibility
retro-reflective safety apparel to be worn by guards �
The MUTCD recommends that a guard use a STOP pad-
dle as the primary hand-signaling device � States and local governments address hand-signaling devices in a variety of
ways � Some jurisdictions require the use of a STOP paddle, others recommend its use, and yet others recommend its use
in conjunction with hand-signals. If a STOP paddle is used, the MUTCD sets guidelines on the shape, size and design
National Stop Paddle Requirements
The MUTCD only recommends the use of a STOP
paddle. If a paddle is used, the following standard
applies.
The MUTCD states: “The STOP paddle shall be an
octagonal shape. The background of the STOP
face shall be red with at least 150 mm (6 in) capi-
tal white letters and border. The paddle shall be
at least 450 mm (18 in) in size and have the word
message STOP on both sides. The paddle shall
be retro-reflectorized or illuminated when used
during hours of darkness.” Finally, the MUTCD
provides options for modifications to the STOP
paddle, including the addition of flashing lights,
to improve its visibility.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 8
of the paddle�Other potential pieces of guard equipment
include gloves, a hat and a whistle � Wearing a hat gives a
guard a more official appearance and can enhance his or
her visibility, as well as protect the guard from the sun,
cold, and rain� Whistles may help a guard gain the atten-
tion of children at noisy intersections �
If a guard is equipped with two-way radios or cell phones,
they must be used only in emergencies � A guard should
never answer the phone or radio while crossing children �
In fact, some agencies prohibit cell phones to avoid dis-
tractions�
As the local committee identifies what type of equipment
to use, it should also decide on guidelines that will explain
when equipment is considered unsuitable for use� For exam-
ple, a guard should not use old, defaced or worn out STOP
paddles or safety vests that are no longer reflective or that
have faded �
Funding the Adult School Crossing
Guard Program
Stable and sufficient funding is important to the effective
operation of any adult school crossing guard program �
Across the nation, a variety of sources have been used�
Communities have obtained financial resources through
taxes, local school boards, sheriff, police, public works and
traffic engineering departments, and through surcharges
on parking fines� Public and private organizations as well
as Parent-Teacher Associations or Organizations also have
contributed funding for guard programs �

State Variations on Stop Paddle
Requirements and Uniforms
The MUTCD 2003 California Supplement requires
the STOP paddle to be the primary hand-signaling
device and allows for the use of a larger paddle
where speeds are 30 mph or more and guards
need greater visibility.
The State of Florida requires an adult school cross-
ing guard to wear a high-visibility, retroreflective
outer garment (vest, shirt, or rainwear) that is la-
beled as ANSI 107-2004 standard performance
for Class 2 risk exposure. The apparel background
material shall be either fluorescent yellow green or
fluorescent orange-red. A guard shall be equipped
with a whistle, as well as a STOP Paddle that is
MUTCD compliant and /or orange or yellow-green
gloves that include retroreflective material. (If both
gloves and stop paddle are used, the gloves need
not include retroreflective material.)
The State of North Carolina strongly recommends
the use of hand-held signs or STOP paddles, but al-
lows the local governing agency to decide whether
a guard uses either a STOP paddle or an orange-
gloved hand, or both.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 9
Crossing Procedures for a Variety of Situations
Recommended procedures are described below for an adult school crossing guard to follow when crossing chil-
dren in a variety of traffic situations� The information was compiled from the Arizona Handbook for Adult School
Crossing Guards, the Florida School Crossing Guard Training Guidelines and the North Carolina School Crossing
Guard Program: Training Manual (See Resources at end of this document for further information.)
Procedures are described for guards in situations at un –
signalized crosswalks and signalized crosswalks, when
two or more adult school crossing guards are needed, and
when an emergency arises � Some intersection configura-
tions, including T-intersections, roundabouts or free-flow
right turn lanes, require that the local committee consider
these unique situations when establishing the procedure
for crossing children �
In ever y situation, a guard uses the proper search pattern
for crossing a street and encourages student pedestrians to
follow these safety steps � This pattern is:
1� Stop at the curb or edge of the street �
2� Look left, right, then left again for traffic�
3� Look over the shoulder for possible turning vehicles if the pedestrian is standing at an intersection �
4� Walk directly across the street at a consistent pace and continue scanning the street while crossing the street �
For stopping motorists, the MUTCD recommends that an adult school crossing guard use a STOP paddle as the pri-
mar y hand-signaling device � However, many jurisdictions around the countr y allow guards to use clearly delivered
hand signals, alone or in conjunction with the STOP paddle, to alert traffic to activity at school crossings � The proper
hand signal for a guard to alert and stop traffic requires a guard to raise his or her arm forward and toward traffic,
and parallel to the ground with the palm and fingers flexed upward� The use of hand signals requires a higher level
of training than the use of STOP paddles, and guards using hand signals will benefit from wearing white or bright
orange gloves to attract drivers’ attention�

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 10
An Unsignalized Crosswalk
At unsignalized crosswalks, it is the responsibility of the
crossing guard to determine when children cross based on
gaps in traffic flow� A guard who is assigned to an unsig-
nalized crosswalk on an undivided street should:
• Stand near the curb or edge of the street, on the side
from which children are approaching�
• Stop children a safe distance back from the curb or
edge of the street, or behind a “stand-back” line (see
bottom photo). Instruct children to cross only on the
guard’s signal �
• Teach children who approach a crossing on a bicycle,
scooter, or skateboard to dismount and push the bi –
cycle or scooter or carr y the skateboard across the
street as a pedestrian �
• A guard enters the street in the following sequence:
1� Wait for a gap in traffic on the guard’s side of the
street�
2� Face the closest oncoming traffic and make eye
contact with the approaching drivers�
3� Walk to the center of street with the STOP pad-
dle held high� If not using a STOP paddle, walk
to the center of the street with an arm raised to –
ward traffic and parallel to the ground with the
palm and fingers extended upward�
4� Where there are more than two lanes, enter the
street and alert the traffic one lane at a time �
5� Face opposite approaching traffic and make eye contact with those drivers�
6� Stand on the crosswalk line close to the center of the street and make sure that all traffic has stopped, including
any turning vehicles�
7� Face the intersection�
8� Verbally instruct the children to cross and tell them to look left-right-left while crossing and proceed across
the street within the marked crosswalk�
9. Do not allow any cars to cross the crosswalk until all the students have crossed.
10� Remain in the center of the street until the last child reaches the opposite side of the street�
11� Walk to the curb or edge of the street with the STOP paddle and/or stop-arm held high the entire way � When
back at the curb or edge of the street, lower hand(s) and allow traffic to flow again.
12� Remain near the curb or edge of the street for the next group of children to assemble �

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 11
A Signalized Crosswalk
A variety of traffic and pedestrian signals are found at
signalized crosswalks including traffic signals with stan-
dard pedestrian signal heads and, in some locations, traf –
fic signals with pedestrian countdown signals which show
pedestrians how much crossing time remains � Signalized
crosswalks may also have pedestrian pushbuttons which
are electronic buttons used by pedestrians to change the
traffic signal timing� An adult school crossing guard should
be trained in the proper use of the signal at the crossing
where he or she will work �
In general, a guard stands in the center of the street while
students cross the crosswalk � If the signal’s timing is too
short to allow this approach, however, the local committee
should take steps to remedy the situation � For example, more guards could be assigned to the crosswalk, more time
could be added to the signal or the guard could escort the students across the entire street and return to his or her
original starting position on the next signal cycle � If a guard escorts students across the entire street, the guard must
instruct the other children to wait until he or she returns before crossing �
A guard who is assigned to signalized crosswalks has this sequence to follow:
• Stand on the side of the street from which children are approaching. If there is a pedestrian push button, push
the button for a WALK signal �
• Group children a safe distance from the curb or edge of the street or behind the “stand-back” line. Instruct
children to cross only at the guard’s signal �
• Teach children who approach a crossing on a bicycle, scooter, or skateboard to dismount and push the bicycle or
scooter or carr y the skateboard across the street as a pedestrian �
• Enter the street in this sequence:
1� Enter the street only with a WALK signal, and the STOP paddle or stop-arm held high� Stand on the crosswalk
line closest to the intersection�
2� Face oncoming traffic and make eye contact with drivers who are attempting to turn�
3. Verbally instruct the students to begin their search (left, right, left and over their shoulders, for turning traffic)
and cross when safe �
4. Tell the students to continue walking if the signal changes to flashing “DON’T WALK”, but do not allow chil-
dren to start crossing at this time. Help students learn that a flashing “DON’T WALK” signal means Don’t Start.
5� Wait for children to reach the opposite side of the street�
6� Return to the curb or edge of the street with your STOP paddle or stop-arm held high� After reaching the
curb or edge of the street, a guard can lower his or her hand(s) and allow traffic to flow again.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 12
When Two or More Adult School
Crossing Guards are Needed
For signalized or unsignalized crossings with four or
more lanes, experts recommend using two adult school
crossing guards working in unison, with one guard posi –
t ione d on e a ch s id e of t he st re et� E a ch g u a rd st a nd s on t he
crosswalk line closest to the approaching traf fic for his or
her half of the street and between the approaching traffic
and the students �
A team of two or more guards should be assigned to school
crossings at divided streets to help children cross safely �
One guard stops one stream of traffic while the other guard
stops traffic in the opposite lanes� In order to coordinate
signaling, the guard on the side of the street from which
children are approaching makes the decisions, with the
second guard taking his or her cues from the first guard �
Guards should not cross students during the protected left
turn signal when the DON’T WALK signal flashes and
ensure that all right-turning vehicles yield while students
are crossing �
More than two guards may also be needed at an intersec –
tion of two major arterial streets where children must cross
two or more legs of the intersection �

tion on a multi-lane road.

Adult School Crossing Guard Guidelines v 13
When an Emergency Situation Arises
During a guard’s duty, emergency situations, such as a sudden illness or an injur y due to a crash, may occur near the
school crossing � In the case of an emergency, a guard must stay at his or her post, keep control of the situation, and
use the following basic procedure to ensure the children’s safety:
1� Stop crossing the children �
2� Group the children away from the street to maintain
control �
3� Remain at the assigned post with the children �
4� Ask several people to call 911 �
5. Do not move the victim, unless the victim is in seri-
ous and immediate danger of being struck by another
vehicle�
6 � Use a vehicle to block the crash victim from traf-
fic, if necessar y � The vehicle should be positioned a
distance away from the victim to provide protection
from other vehicles but, if struck would not endanger
the victim or rescue workers �
7� Always notify the supervisor as soon as possible of any emergency that occurred �
When fire trucks, ambulances or other emergency vehicles approach the crossing with emergency lights and sirens in
use, the guard keeps children out of the street and a safe distance away from the crossing until the emergency vehicles
have passed�
Ideally, a guard should take a first aid short course and a CPR class offered by the Red Cross or the local Fire Depart-
ment to learn the best way to respond to an emergency situation �

Proud AAA tradition
AAA School Safety Patrols play an important role in helping young pedestrians learn and
fulfill responsibilities regarding traffic safety.
Millions of U.S. boys and girls have honorably served their classmates since the AAA
School Safety Patrol program was started in the early 1920s. Interest in the program has
spread around the world. At least 30 other countries, including New Zealand, the
Netherlands, England, Germany and France, have emulated the AAA School Safety Patrol
program. The experience is the same — a reduction in traffic death rates.
Boys and girls who contribute their time as AAA School Safety Patrols deserve special thanks
for their efforts. AAA recognizes the AAA School Safety Patrol program as an outstanding
school safety activity. We commend school personnel who administer the programs and law
enforcement officials who contribute to the success of programs in their communities.
For more than 75 years, AAA clubs have proudly sponsored, promoted and aided AAA
School Safety Patrol programs as a community service in the interest of safety for all
schoolchildren. AAA clubs have been the leading non-school civic agencies active in patrol
work in most communities. During its long and distinguished history, the AAA School
Safety Patrol program has provided a safer pedestrian environment and a wide spectrum
of educational opportunities for millions of children. AAA has provided the means for the
patrol to succeed.
This manual will serve as a resource to community organizations, school administrators
and supervisors who are coordinating AAA School Safety Patrol programs. The policies
and practices presented in this manual are the result of the combined efforts of several
national educational, law enforcement and safety organizations. It represents the
cumulative experience of AAA School Safety Patrol operations in every corner of the
United States.
Consistent, uniform operating procedures across the country are essential for the motorist
and pedestrian to know what to expect. For this reason, uniform AAA School Safety Patrol
identification and operating procedures are highly recommended.

Role of the School Safety Patrol
AAA School Safety Patrols are school-sponsored student volunteers from upper elementary,
middle, and junior high schools.
Patrols direct children, not traffic. As school-age leaders in traffic safety, patrol members
teach other students about traffic safety on a peer-to-peer basis. They also serve as role
models for younger children who look up to them.
School Safety Patrol members:
• Complete training in traffic safety
• Protect students from the hazards of crossing roads and highways on their
way to and from school
• Assist bus drivers in safely transporting students to and from school
• Teach fellow students about traffic safety.
• Serve other leadership functions under the direction of school officials
Typically, teachers and principals appoint Patrol members, who participate with parental
approval. A teacher usually serves as patrol supervisor.
Overview

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL

History
As members of AAA School Safety Patrols, students have protected their classmates
since 1916.
In the 1930s, three national organizations: the American Automobile Association, the
National Congress of Parents and Teachers, and the National Safety Council —
collaborated on Standard Rules for the Operation of School Boy Patrols. These guidelines
have been updated over the years to become the operating standards for AAA School
Safety Patrols.
Today, more than 50,000 schools sponsor patrols, protecting pedestrians and school bus
riders in all 50 states.
School safety patrol members have grown up to be U.S. presidents, governors, members
of Congress, Supreme Court justices, astronauts, and Olympic medalists, as well as
educators, executives, and community leaders throughout the country.
As the value of the program has gained recognition, two national awards have been
introduced. Lifesaving Awards debuted in 1945. The Patroller of the Year award was first
bestowed in 2002. For more information, please refer to pages 30-31.

Concerns
Safety of Patrols
The safety of Patrols should be achieved through training on traffic safety, operation, and the
responsibilities of each post; dedicated adult supervision; and regular inspections help protect
safety patrols.
To remain safe on duty, patrol members must remain at their assigned posts and always
properly display their belts and badges.
Patrollers are trained to seek adult help in the following examples of specific traffic situations:
• Parked cars blocking the view of an intersection
• Parked cars blocking school bus stop or student loading or unloading zone
• Failure of motorists to obey traffic control device
• Suspicious activity by adult or older students
• Vehicles turning at T-intersections
• Wrong-way traffic on one-way streets
• Emergencies and injuries
• Electrical wires down near the patrol post
• Domestic or wild animal threats
• Student fights
• Emergency vehicle response near the post.
• Any situation beyond the realm of the daily operation of duties at a
patrol post
Forming Your Patrol

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL

Concerns (continued)
“Stranger Danger”
Patrol members are trained to report problems with strangers to the patrol supervisor,
teachers, parents, and/or law enforcement. These “Stranger Danger” precautions are part
of patrol training:
Patrol members should be trained to never:
• Approach cars or allow other students to approach unknown motorists
• Accept candy or presents from strangers
• Help strangers with directions or search for a lost pet
• Allow their photos to be taken
• Divulge their name, address, phone number, or other family information
Patrol members are trained to seek immediate help if:
• They encounter someone who appears to be under the influence of drugs
or alcohol
• They become suspicious of the behavior of older students or adults
• They are followed
Patrol members learn that if they are grabbed by a stranger, they should make as much
noise as possible.
Forming Your Patrol

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL

Securing Official School Authorization
Before school principals institute the AAA School Safety Patrol program, they must obtain
approval from the school superintendent or school board.
The approval process will vary according to community and school system requirements. In
some cases, principals may seek support for the program from community organizations.
Although most superintendents are familiar with patrols in general, they may not
understand the details of operation.
To gain support in the community and in the school system, a principal introducing a patrol
should be prepared to:
• Identify community needs
• Present the patrol’s objectives
• Explain operational requirements
• Outline available resources that will support the program
Limiting Liability
• Create a statement of purpose that outlines the objectives of a school safety patrol program
• Grant authority to principals or supervisors of safety education or transportation to
maintain safety patrols and establish rules and regulations for their supervision
• Limit the age group from which patrols may be selected and determine any exclusions
from participation, such as health concerns
• Extend the same protection to the school safety patrol, supervisors, and those involved
in the program that applies to other student volunteer programs
• Provide guidelines to ensure consistency between patrol programs so students benefit
equally from participation
• Each school should develop a policy regarding times when school safety patrollers
should not be on post due to inclement weather
Forming Your Patrol

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL

Selecting the Patrol Supervisor
The School Safety Patrol Supervisor is a responsible adult, typically a teacher, appointed
by the school principal to oversee the patrol. More than any other individual, the School
Safety Patrol Supervisor determines the success of the program.
The ideal supervisor demonstrates:
• A strong belief in the value of the program
• Knowledge of traffic safety
• Leadership
• Organizational skills
• People skills, including the ability to share praise and constructive criticism
• Ability to inspire confidence and respect
• Dependability
• Ability to establish rapport with students, school leaders, the community,
and law enforcement
Supervisor duties include:
• Serving as the source of information on all aspects of the program
• Selecting patrol members and assigning duties
• Training all patrol members, including officers
• Supervising all patrol operations
• Conducting training sessions, reviews, and administrative meetings
• Advising all adult sponsoring committees on the patrol’s activities
Organization, Training and Operation
Determining Patrol Size
Schools should work with the traffic engineering agency in their area to make the proper
determinations regarding the number of patrols that should be assigned at various
intersections. A traffic specialist can provide traffic data, conduct traffic studies, evaluate
information about the school and help to implement safety procedures for students
walking to and from school. The analysis can be used to plan school safety patrol posts
where they can operate satsifactorily, keeping in mind the age and developmental nature
of Patrol membership. Busy crossings require more than one Patrol member. Occasionally
it will be found best NOT to use the same crossing place to-school pupil traffic as is used
for from-school traffic, because of changes in traffic volumes and direction at different
times of day.

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
11
Selecting Patrol Members
AAA encourages the formation of a patrol force that is just large enough to fulfill the needs
of the school. Coordination is much easier with a smaller group. After determining the
optimum size of the patrol a school needs, choose members based on demonstrated:
• Leadership
• Maturity
• Reliability
• Ability to follow rules
• Punctuality
• Health (or ability to perform duties)
• Interest in traffic safety
• Sound judgment
• Good attendance record
• Courtesy
• Respect for classmates and others
• Desire to help others
Select reserve patrol members to ensure trained patrol members are available at all times.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL

Selection of Intersections
In selecting intersections for posts, gather recommendations from:
• School personnel
• Law enforcement
• Bus drivers
• Area businesses
• PTA officials
Review coverage annually. New roads or subdivisions and changes in bus or walking
patterns may change patrol needs.
Assign patrol posts based on:
• Intersections near the school
• The side of the street from which students approach
• Traffic direction and density
• Nearness of the post to patrol member’s home
Parental Permission
Students must have permission from parents or guardians to participate in the patrol program.
When they understand the educational value, service, and character-building aspects of
the program, most parents are proud to give their permission for participation.
AAA can provide a special consent form which explains the aims, objectives, and
operation of the AAA School Safety Patrol. This standard form also contains the
membership application and pledge taken by patrol members.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
13
Training
Thorough training is an absolute requirement. Training may take place in school or special
summer camps.
Trainers can be the Patrol Supervisor, a AAA representative, or a law enforcement officer.
When possible, train new patrol members for the upcoming year before the end of the
prior year. Schedule refresher training for both new and veteran members should be
provided before the school year begins.
Information to cover in your training:
• Fundamentals of traffic safety
• Duties of each patrol post
• Identifying sufficient gaps in traffic to allow safe crossing
• Special hazards
• Dealing with pedestrians
• School bus safety procedures
• Safety procedures on school grounds
• Maintaining records (for officers)
School training may be conducted as:
• Classes
• On-the-job personal direction
• Written guidelines and oral or written quizzes
• Joint clinics held in cooperation with other schools and involving new and
veteran members
• Viewing of training videos from the local AAA club or AAA Foundation for
Traffic Safety followed by discussion
• Diagramming a duty corner and highlighting hazards and a patrol plan for
the specific crossing
• School bus drills
Training methods can be used individually or in combination.
Because officers take on more responsibility and have more complex duties, most schools
provide additional training for incoming officers.
Some communities schedule a Patrol Member Training Camp over summer vacation. This
camp may be open to all patrol members or officers.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
14
Training (continued)
Camps are ideally scheduled just before school reopens so the training is fresh in the
minds of patrol members on the first day of school.
Camps combine traffic safety education with fun activities. Classes may be taught by law
enforcement, safety experts, and representatives from your local AAA club. Veteran patrol
members also may lead discussion sessions or conduct role-playing exercises.
Most camps end with an exam and “graduation” ceremony in which successful trainees
receive certificates, pins, and a training camp T-shirt.
Civic organizations and PTAs may cover fees for training camps.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
15
Installation
A formal installation ceremony instills pride and reinforces the importance of your patrol’s
service to the school and community.
Many schools make the installation part of a school assembly or PTA meeting. Some
schools broadcast their installation ceremony on educational or public Television. Your
school district’s information officer may help you promote your ceremony.
Consider inviting the mayor, city official, school officer, a representative from law enforcement
or AAA. Your visiting dignitary may be invited to lead the pledge and present badges.
Reciting the AAA School Safety Patrol Pledge (see appendix), or creating your own
school-specific pledge, is an easy but powerful way to create a spirit of shared
responsibility and teamwork.
AAA can provide a safety patrol ID card (see appendix) that includes the standard pledge.
These cards can be presented at installation, along with badges, belts and other equipment.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL

Officer Selection
The Patrol Supervisor selects officers. The supervisor may do this individually or by
supervising an election by patrol members. Officers generally serve for one semester.
Typically, a patrol has a captain, lieutenant, and a sergeant. The size of the patrol unit
determines the number of officers needed. Patrol officers take on additional responsibility
and help lead activities. Officers also must be trained to substitute for any post. One of the
lieutenants becomes acting captain when the captain is not available for duty.
Encourage officers to rely upon respect and cooperation, rather than authority. Specific
officer duties are outlined later in the manual.
Officer Duties
Captains are responsible for:
• Preparing reports for the Patrol Supervisor
• Proposing the agenda for patrol meetings
• Assigning posts
• Monitoring patrol performance
• Presenting safety talks to younger classes
• Enforcing all patrol rules
• Ensuring patrol members maintain and wear belts and badges
• Arranging for substitutes as needed
• Maintaining the Captain’s Record Book
Lieutenants are responsible for:
• Acting for the captain, as assigned
• Assisting the captain in checking posts and buses
• Contributing to operational reports
• Filling in for absent patrol members
The Sergeant is responsible for:
• Acting as unit secretary
• Maintaining the patrol bulletin board
• Inventorying equipment and recommending repairs, replacements,
and acquisitions
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
17
Length of Service
AAA recommends that schools appoint a set number of patrols to serve all year with a
selection of alternates to fill in when regular members are absent. Assign only the
necessary number of patrols to a single post.
Being a school safety patrol should be considered “special”. Do not make everyone in the
class a patrol. This dilutes the special feeling of being selected a patrol and seriously
limits resources.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
18
Equipment
The two identifying pieces of equipment for safety patrol members are:
• Official patrol belts
• Badges pinned to the shoulder strap of the belt at chest level
Schools also may provide additional equipment, such as ponchos, caps, and flags.
Assigned equipment should be documented. Officers must maintain a roster with each
patrol member’s name and a notation of equipment provided to them.
Please contact your local AAA club for specific ordering information.
Equipment: Care
Each patrol member must wear a belt and badge when on duty. Assign a sergeant to see
that patrol members are accountable for the care of equipment assigned to them. It is the
sergeant’s responsibility to keep a daily record of the condition of this school property.
Equipment includes:
• Belts • Flags • Ponchos
• Badges • Caps
The sergeant responsible for equipment works with the captain and patrol sponsor to
order replacement equipment. Equipment which is lost or misplaced must be replaced.
Worn out equipment should be destroyed.
Encourage students to refer to the Patrol Member Handbook for proper wear and care of
Patrol equipment.
Organization, Training and Operation
Note: AAA has studied roadside visibility issues and is researching ways to
improve existing equipment to increase the visibility of AAA School
Safety Patrols to approaching motorists.

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
19
Daily Operations
Schools should distribute the list of patrollers to staff and train patrol members to leave
their classes quietly and report to an assigned patrol assembly point.
The patrol captain or lieutenant:
• Takes attendance
• Ensures that all members are wearing their belts and badges
• Verifies that all posts are covered.
• Reminds patrol members to walk quietly and carefully to their posts
Mechanics of the Street Patrol
“Mechanics” are defined as the process, moves, and maneuvers of a patroller on duty.
The basic mechanics are:
• Arrive at your post early
• Determine how to judge a safe gap for your posted position
• Take a position at least one step back from the curb (or edge of the
street), arms down at a 45 degree angle, palms facing back
• Check all directions for traffic
• Keep students a safe distance from traffic
• Keep arms and palms positioned to hold all students from traffic until there
is a safe gap
• Never allow students to walk in front of a car that stops to allow them to cross
• Step aside and motion students across the street
• Continue to monitor traffic, when the safe gap ends, cut the flow of students
A patrol member should only step into the street far enough to see around an obstruction.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
20
Determining the Gap
The first important duty of patrol members is to determine a safe gap in traffic. The patrol
captain or supervisor will assist patrol members in determining when there is a break in
traffic that will allow students to safely cross the street.
To determine a safe gap, patrol members judge:
• Speed of vehicles
• Traffic volume
• Road and weather conditions
• Number of lanes of traffic
• Time required for small children to cross the street
To establish a safe gap:
• Walk across the street at normal speed when there is no traffic
• Count the seconds to cross safely and add five seconds to allow for
students who start across later than the lead student
• Pick a fixed point – such as a mailbox or signpost – about 1000 feet from
the student crossing point
• When a vehicle passes this point, count the seconds until the vehicle
reaches the crossing
Patrol members must pay attention to parked cars that may enter traffic, and vehicles that
may come from driveways or alleys.
To determine gaps at intersections with signals:
• On average, it takes 10 seconds for a child to cross
• If the signal remains green for 30 seconds, count 20 seconds, then stop
students from crossing until the next green light
Record Keeping
AAA provides two resources that help captains standardize recordkeeping: the Captain’s
Record Book and the Monthly Patrol Record Form.
The Captain maintains the Captain’s Record Book. Patrol records should cover:
• Daily attendance
• Number of times a patrol member is late
• Number of times a patrol member fails to wear proper equipment
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
21
Meetings
Procedures
Schedule meetings twice a month. At least once a month, the school safety officer should
attend. It also may be appropriate to invite the principal, police, adult crossing guards and
bus drivers.
When conducting a meeting, follow parliamentary procedure, which is a set of widely
accepted rules that give meetings structure and order. Procedure books such as the
popular, Robert’s Rules of Ordercan be found in local public libraries.
The Patrol Captain presides at all meetings. The Lieutenant presides in the Captain’s
absence.
Patrol members wear belts and badges to meetings.
Agenda
Patrol officers should plan an agenda focused on both old and new patrol business.
Below is a sample agenda, incorporating parliamentary procedure:
• Call to order
• Pledge of Allegiance
• Roll call and inspection
• Secretary reads minutes of previous meeting
• Captain corrects or approves minutes
• Old business from previous meeting completed
• New business discussed
• Contributions from guests
• Training
• Captain requests motion to adjourn
• Captain asks for motion to be seconded
• Captain states the motion and asks for “ayes” and “nays”
• Captain officially adjourns the meeting (and may announce time and date
of next meeting)
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
22
Meetings(continued)
Minutes
The secretary records meetings in a consistent format. A completed set of minutes is
signed by the secretary and becomes part of the official record of the patrol.
Elements which must be in the minutes:
• School name
• Date and time of meeting
• Attendance
• Results of inspection
• Summary of old business
• Summary of new business
• Additional comments/contributions from guests
(such as police officers, principals)
• Additional information (for example, training or recognition)
• Time meeting was dismissed
The secretary signs meeting minutes before turning them in to the captain.
Supervision
Overall responsibility for the patrol rests with the Patrol Supervisor.
On a daily basis, the Captain assigns posts, enforces rules, arranges for substitutes, and
maintains discipline.
The Captain is assisted by Lieutenants and a Sergeant.
Organization, Training and Operation

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL

Role of Patrol at Signalized Intersections
Only police officers or adult crossing guards can stop vehicles.Patrol members
have specific duties based on their posts.
Duties of patrol members:
• Stand on the sidewalk, at least one step back from the curb and midway
between crosswalk lines
• Watch traffic flow and children approaching
• At red lights, signal students not to enter the intersection by holding arms
down at 45-degree angle to the body
• At green lights, determine all approaching traffic has stopped before
allowing students to cross
• Check traffic in all directions for a suitable gap and then permit children
to cross
• Before the light changes back to red, return to the outstretched arms
position to prevent children from being caught in the middle of
the intersection
Bus Loading and Unloading
Bus stop patrol is an important duty. Students often arrive at bus stops early and may not
pay attention to traffic while waiting.
School officials should encourage students to arrive no earlier than 10 minutes before the bus
is scheduled to arrive. The school also should designate a waiting area away from the road.
The bus stop patrol:
• Keeps students out of the street and away from traffic
• Lines students up for boarding when the bus arrives
• Assists small students in boarding the bus
• Checks the bus stop to ensure no belongings are left behind
• If a school bus must be evacuated, safety patrols may assist bus drivers.
If a bus driver is incapacitated, the patrol may direct the evacuation.
On Patrol

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
24
On the Bus
Assign one to three patrol members to a bus. They remain seated when the bus is moving.
Front patrol members sit in the right front seat of the bus and:
• Disembark at all regular stops to assist students entering and leaving the bus
• Assist the driver in keeping objects out of the aisles
• Remind students to keep heads and arms inside the bus
• Reaffirm the track is clear at railroad crossings
Middle patrol members sit in the middle of the bus and:
• Monitor student noise and behavior
• Keep students seated and aisles clear
• Remind students to keep arms and heads inside the bus
• Assist loading and unloading
Rear patrol members sit near the back emergency door and:
• Check the bus for articles left behind by students
• Operate the rear emergency door in case of emergency
Carpools
Some schools place patrols at pick-up and drop-off spots in front of the school to
protect carpoolers.
Patrol members assigned to these positions:
• Help students enter and exit vehicles safely
• Assist small children and students whose arms are full
• Monitor students and keep them on the sidewalk until traffic has stopped
• Direct students to proceed in an orderly fashion from the parking lot to
the school
On Patrol
Note: Bus Patrol members are typically students from the first bus stops
in the morning and the last bus stops in the evening that provide
assistance to the bus driver for the entire route.

SCHOOL SAFETY PATROL OPERATIONS MANUAL
25
Reporting Dangerous Practices
Part of the pledge school patrollers take is a promise to “report dangerous student
practices.” Just what are those practices? A dangerous practice endangers students.
When a patrol member observes a dangerous practice they should:
• Politely explain the risk to the offender (if it is another student)
• Seek an adult if the behavior continues
• Only touch another student in an emergency
• Report dangerous situations to a patrol officer or Patrol Supervisor for
follow-up
If another patrol member is involved in a dangerous practice, this should be reported to
the Patrol Supervisor. Individual school system guidelines should be in place to handle
such disciplinary actions, including probation, suspension and dismissal.
Role of Police
In many communities, law enforcement officers work directly with patrols. They serve as
safety patrol coordinators who contribute to operations, training, and development.
Law enforcement can make an important contribution to the success of your patrol
program, including:
• Promoting motorist awareness of patrols

Role of Adult Crossing Guards
Adult crossing guards may be assigned to high-traffic areas. They can help create safe
gaps in traffic, control turning traffic, and assist large groups of children crossing busy
intersections. They are typically community employees supervised by law enforcement.
Adult crossing guards are typically assigned to:
• High-traffic streets with safe gaps more than a minute apart
• Signalized intersections where turning automobiles are a hazard
• Crossings near schools with a high volume of walking students
• Locations where 85 percent of the traffic speed exceeds the speed limit
• Areas of reduced visibility
• School districts with inadequate school route plans
• Locations beyond the capability of student patrols
Patrols can be deployed to assist an Adult Crossing Guard. This is particularly useful at
wide crossings or locations with heavy pedestrian volumes. The adult crossing guard and
the police will establish procedures consistent with guidelines for patrol deployment
described in this manual.

School Support
The more importance and visibility the school gives to the AAA School Safety Patrol, the
more the potential benefit. The program deserves recognition as:
• A safety measure
• A character-building program
• As a leadership development program
• Citizenship and volunteerism in action
• A real-world “lab” that teaches life skills such as teamwork, responsibility,
problem-solving, and effective communication
• Means to enhance rapport between students and authority figures (school
officers, law enforcement)
• A program that creates positive role models for younger students
• An opportunity for students to learn about traffic safety and the rules of
interfacing with traffic
Schools should encourage teachers to participate, involve the PTA and community groups,
and make the recognition of the contribution made by the AAA School Safety Patrol a priority.
Fundraising
Schools across the country have raised funds for their school safety patrols by:
• Hosting a movie for students and selling popcorn
• Holding a bake sale
• Contacting fundraising companies that provide sale items
• Creating buttons or stickers for a small cost
• Offering a gift-wrapping service at the holidays
• Car washes
• Collecting recyclables
• Setting up a compost heap “fed” by classrooms and the cafeteria each
day. Sell bags of fertilizer in the spring
• Obtaining plants or seedlings from the parks department and selling them
to the community
• Setting up a booth at a town street fair or similar community celebration
and providing face-painting or simple goods or services
• Holding a safety fair and inviting AAA, the Red Cross and other safety
organizations to participate
• Challenging students to a walk-a-thon, bike-a-thon (with helmets!) or
bowl-a-thon and asking sponsors to pledge contributions

Discipline
Patrol members must understand there are serious consequences for breaking rules. Most
patrols maintain discipline with a merit/demerit system. Parents should be advised prior to
any disciplinary action.
Merit points are awarded for:
• Work in addition to regular duty
• Conducting safety talks to classes
• Making constructive suggestions
• Additional contributions to teamwork
Demerit points are awarded for:
• Attempting to direct traffic
• Leaving the sidewalk
• Allowing children to cross without ensuring the way is clear
• Leaving their post without permission
• Being tardy or absent without an acceptable reason
• Behavior unbecoming a patroller
• Arriving for duty without badge or belt
• Breaking safety rules
• Disobedience
By accumulating merit points, a patrol member may earn more important assignments.
Accumulating demerits may result in suspension or dismissal from the patrol.

Morale Building
A key duty of the Patrol Supervisor is to maintain enthusiasm and commitment to the
program. Attention by the school and ownership by students keep morale high.
It is important for schools to recognize the educational value and service of the entire
school patrol.
Many schools recognize this service with certificates of appreciation, merit pins, and
thank-yous to the school patrol in school newsletters and Web sites.
Schools also may ask area businesses for small contributions, such as gift certificates or
coupons for patrol members. Examples of gifts may include inexpensive raincoats or
watches, or catering for a recognition luncheon or dinner.
Activities that may be introduced to build Safety Patrol pride and morale include:
• Reserving a section of the school newsletter or school web site for safety
patrol news
• Assigning a display or bulletin board to the patrol
• Writing personalized notes of appreciation to parents
• Introducing and thanking the patrol at assembly
• Involving the student council in recognition activities
• Creating a safety patrol honor guard
• Hosting an annual patrol luncheon or dinner
• Proclaiming AAA School Safety Patrol Day or Patrol Appreciation Day at a
local attraction
• Promoting a friendly sporting competition between neighboring patrols
• Establishing a special weekly play period for patrol members
• Offering refreshments such as hot chocolate or ice cream to patrol members
• Hosting special events such as pizza parties, movie outings, sporting
events, or end-of-year picnics

Recognition Programs
AAA makes available award certificates and a pin that can be presented at school
assemblies or celebrations. Contact your local AAA Club for details.
Certificates of Meritare available for students who satisfactorily complete service as a
patrol member.
Service Pinin silver is available for outstanding service while a patrol member.
There are two national awards programs to recognize the efforts of AAA School Safety
Patrollers: The Lifesaving Award Medal and the National Patroller of the Year.
Lifesaving Award Medal
In 1949, AAA held the first Lifesaving Medal Awards to recognize those Safety Patrollers
who while on duty saved a life or prevented the injury of a fellow student. As we approach
2005, over 380 students have been presented with prestigious honor.
The Lifesaving Medal is awarded by an independent review board to a member of any
authorized School Safety Patrol when there is conclusive proof that:
1. The life of the person saved was in imminent danger;
2. The act was performed while the patrol member was on duty, going to or from
a duty post, or while on duty as a bus patrol member;
3. No negligence on the part of the patrol member caused or contributed to the
person rescued being in danger.
The AAA Lifesaving Medal has been presented by U.S. Presidents Ford, Johnson,
Kennedy and Eisenhower; Vice Presidents Mondale, Humphrey, Nixon and Barkley;
First Lady Mamie Eisenhower; justices of the U.S. Supreme Court; cabinet officials; and
other dignitaries.

School’s Open Drive Safely
For more than 50 years, AAA has sponsored the School’s Open – Drive Safely campaign.
The goal of this awareness campaign is to reduce the number of traffic crashes involving
school-age pedestrians and school bus riders by reminding drivers to be extra-cautious.
Participating schools may obtain colorful posters for display and other “School’s Open”
items. Contact your local AAA Club for details.
Best Route to School
Safety experts at AAA have developed 10 rules that help parents and children determine the
Best Route to School. Use the following tips to aid AAA School Safety Patrols in the
promotion of safe walking practices to fellow students:
•Walk on sidewalks:Watch out for cars pulling into, and backing out of driveways
•Walk on the left facing traffic if there are no sidewalks:Staying to the left allows you to
watch oncoming traffic and get out of the way if necessary
•Cross only at corners:Avoid the dangerous practice of “jaywalking.” Cross at an
intersection controlled by a traffic light wherever possible
•Stop and look all ways before crossing:If there’s no traffic light, wait until oncoming
cars are at least a block away before crossing
•Watch For Turning Cars:Children sometimes forget to look and unintentionally walk into
the side of a turning vehicle
•Continue to look left, right and left again as you cross:It’s easy to miss an oncoming car
•Never cross between parked cars:It’s almost impossible for drivers to see youngsters
who enter the roadway from between parked cars
•Play away from traffic:Playgrounds, schoolyards and your own backyard are the safest
places to play
•Be especially alert in bad weather:Rain, snow, fog and even umbrellas can obstruct
vision. Also, drivers may be unable to stop quickly. Children should wear brightly
colored and retro-reflective clothing
•Obey police officers, adult crossing guards, AAA Safety Patrol members, and traffic
signals:These “safety guardians” can greatly enhance a child’s safety when going to
and from school
