StakeholdersStakeholders
Goals of Phase II Study Goals of Phase II Study
Understand the current and future anticipated travel patterns along US 1
Identify the vision for the corridor and how it supports desired local and regional mobility, local community livability and economic development goals and needs
Identify specific action items (program, policy, and/or infrastructure), that could support the vision for the corridor

Income and Car Ownership
Income and Car Ownership
• Concentration of 0-Car Households in Northern Portion of the Study area
Vehicular Traffic Volumes and
Growth
Vehicular Traffic Volumes and
Growth
• Reduction or very little growth along US 1
• More growth occurs along Nova Road
Traffic DistributionTraffic Distribution
• Trips along US 1 and Nova Road drop off at Holly Hill/Daytona Beach area
• Neither US 1 nor Nova Road are being used for regional trips
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety
Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety
• Fatalities occur throughout the corridor
• Concentrations of crashes and fatalities in Daytona Beach area

Corridor Needs Corridor Needs
PRINCIPLE ONE – Enhance Mobility
Enhance local multi-modal mobility to connect activity areas along the corridor.
PRINCIPLE TWO – Increase Connectivity
Improve multi-modal mobility & access to local destinations and recreational opportunities, while continuing to accommodate regional traffic.
PRINCIPLE THREE – Leverage Investments
Maximize efficiency by leveraging local and state public investments to catalyze private economic development.
PRINCIPLE FOUR – Preserve & Enhance
Preserve and enhance existing environmental and recreational assets within the Corridor.

Implement Strategic Pedestrian and Bicycle Improvements
Implement Policy and Regulatory Mechanisms to Advance Land Use/Economic Development Initiatives Along US 1
Implement Changes to US 1 Cross Sections Based on Character Districts (coinciding with land use/development changes) and Develop Potential Gateways
Implement Transit Improvements, Including Transit Signal Priority (TSP)
Develop/Implement Educational and Marketing Campaign for US 1 (Market the Environment, Recreational and Cultural Assets of the Region)

High – high cost (move curbline), left-turn challenges
UrbanVillage Center Option 2
High Low High High Yes
Medium – mixed bike/auto traffic or identify parallel bicycle route
Traditional Medium High Medium Medium Yes
Low – keepexisting cross section, restripe in some sections
Eco Byway Medium to High High Medium Low N/A
