How can we make the Capital
Region a better place by invest-
ing in transportation? CDTC
recently approved a twenty-five
year transportation plan—―New
Visions 2040‖. The New Visions
Plan supports keeping our high-
ways and bridges in good con-
dition; providing high quality
transit service, and building
what we call ―complete streets‖
-designed for cars, as well as
for walking, bicycling, and
transit.
New Visions describes the
transportation investment
needed for sustainable eco-
nomic growth. The region has
many assets: good transporta-
tion, strong urban areas, af-
fordable and diverse housing,
good schools, colleges and
universities, ease of mobility,
modern air and rail facilities,
cultural and recreational oppor-
tunities and a clean environ-
ment.
CDTC remains committed to
the maintenance, repair, recon-
struction and right-sizing of the
existing freight and passenger
transportation facilities. And we
must plan for new technology:
self-driving cars, self-adjusting
traffic signals, smart phone
apps, ridesharing, carsharing,
and bikesharing will have tre-
mendous impacts on future
transportation. These impacts
include decreasing congestion,
providing transportation to
more seniors and people with
disabilities, reducing traffic
crashes, and more.

“It doesn’t take much talent to plan for today. And it
doesn’t require any thought at all to plan for yesterday. But planning for tomorrow, and the next year, and ten years from now takes not only foresight but courage,
wisdom, and statesmanhip.” -- unknown
Quotable Quote
In March 2015, the Town of
Clifton Park adopted new zon-
ing for the area known as the
Town Center, located in the
vicinity of Northway Exit 9. The
zoning implements that Town’s
previously adopted Town Cen-
ter Plan following nearly two
years of development. The
planning work behind the Town
Center Plan and its related
zoning were funded through
CDTC’s Linkage Program.
The new zoning code incorpo-
rates Form Based principles,
which regulate building and
site design in several zoning
districts and allow more flexibil-
ity with building uses than tra-
ditional Euclidean zoning. This
type of zoning is becoming
more common in communities
of all types looking to legally
allow areas with mixed uses,
particularly closely placed
structures with commercial on
the first floor and residential or
office uses on upper floors.
While still relatively new, the
Town has already enhanced its

In October 2014, CDTC in part-
nership with the New York
State Department of Transpor-
tation (NYSDOT) and the City of
Albany initiated the I-787/
Hudson Waterfront Corridor
Study. The study is an integrat-
ed transportation and land use
planning effort that intends to
identify short and long term
strategies that:
Improve access to the Hudson River
Support waterfront revitali-zation and economic de-
velopment opportunities
Integrate concepts from previous studies with fresh
ideas through an involved
stakeholder process
Support multi-modal trans-por ta t ion objec t ives
(pedestrian, bicycle, trans-
it, motor vehicle, truck)
Guide future planning
Improve transportation, community, and environ-
mental compatibility
Account for life-cycle costs of roads and bridges
Explore potential reduc-tions in infrastructure
maintenance costs over
time
The primary study area is
bounded on the north by
Watervliet (I-787 Exit 9), on the
south by the Port of Albany (I-
787 Exit 2), on the east by the
Hudson River and on the west
by Route 32 (Broadway) as

Signed into law 25 years ago
this past summer, the Ameri-
cans with Disabilities Act or
ADA, is a civil rights statute
prohibiting discrimination
against people with disabilities
in all areas of public life. Title II
(28CFR Part 35) of the ADA of
1990 requires State and local
governments to ensure that
individuals with disabilities are
not excluded from programs,
services, and activities. These
requirements focus on provid-
ing accessibility by addressing
and eliminating structural barri-
ers associated with public facil-
ities.
Legal requirements under Title
II of the ADA include the devel-
opment of local government
ADA Transition Plans. A Transi-
tion Plan is designed to:
identify physical obstacles that limit the accessibility
of an agency’s programs
or activities to individuals
with disabilities;
describe in detail the methods that will be used
to make the facilities ac-
cessible; and
specify a schedule for correcting access deficien-
cies.
Pedestrian facilities are consid-
ered a program. This means
that an ADA Transition Plan
must include an inventory of
pedestrian facilities such as
sidewalks and curb ramps.
The plan must identify the pub-
lic officials responsible for its
implementation and must be
updated periodically until all
accessibility barriers are re-
moved. ADA Transition Plans
help protect against liability
issues; FHWA has made it clear
that absence of a plan could
make a community or agency
vulnerable to court action.
CDTC’s ADA Working Group
was formed in 2015 to help
foster a consistent municipal
approach to meeting ADA re-
quirements across the region.
Members of the group currently
include: the cities of Albany,
Cohoes, Rensselaer, Saratoga
Springs, Schenectady, and
Watervliet; the Towns of Bethle-
hem, Halfmoon and Wilton;
Rensselaer County; CDTA;
NYSDOT; FHWA and a disability
rights advocate.
NYSDOT is currently updating
its ADA Transition Plan covering
state facilities, including side-
walks and curb ramps. NYSDOT
is required to certify that local
sponsors of federal aid projects
are in ADA compliance. FHWA
and NYSDOT are developing an
ADA Transition Plan template
and self-evaluation/facility
inventory resources for spon-
sors of Locally Administered
Federal Aid Projects (LAFAP).
Information will be shared with
CDTC’s ADA Working Group,
potentially through collabora-
tive training opportunities.
CDTC has begun compiling
available sidewalk data from
around the region and will col-
lect additional data on the
presence or absence of side-
walks in other locations. This is
the first step in a preliminary
screen process to build pedes-
trian facility inventories.
The Working Group will contin-
ue to meet over the next year
to work toward development of
common solutions to ADA chal-
lenges and to:
identify resources for de-veloping/implementing
ADA Transition Plans
facilitate development of required municipal self-
evaluations and invento-
ries of pedestrian rights of
way
identify opportunities for future collaboration and
shared cost services pro-
jects.

CDTA supports Capital Region
vanpools by partnering with
national vanpool provider,
vRide. A vanpool is a group of 5-
15 people who commute togeth-
er on a regular basis in a roomy,
comfortable van. People who
have at least a 30 minute drive
or travel more than 15 miles
one-way to work and who main-
tain a relatively consistent work
schedule are perfect for
vanpooling. One person volun-
teers to be the driver/
coordinator, and the group de-
termines their daily route includ-
ing one or more designated pick
up locations, such as Park and
Ride lots or shopping centers.
Depending on mileage and van
type, the monthly fare is be-
tween $800 and $1,700 includ-
ing maintenance and insurance.
However, CDTA is sponsoring
$600 or 50% (whichever is low-
er). Price per person is then
between $35 and $125 per
month. In most cases, vanpool-
ers save over $1,000/year com-
pared to driving alone.

I - 890 R A M P R E C O N F I G U R AT I O N
This NYSDOT project proposes to reduce the number of fatalities and injuries in crashes in the vicinity of
I-890's Big Circle and Little Circle in the Town of Rotterdam and City of Schenectady. This is the area of
the entrance and exit ramps from Erie Boulevard and Washington Avenue.
The project will prevent drivers from quickly cutting across multiple lanes of traffic by increasing the dis-
tance over which drivers can merge. After extensively evaluating design alternatives, NYSDOT selected
the alternative that removes the small circle including the bridge.
Construction is expected to begin in Spring 2016 and will cost approximately $4.450 Million.
IN MOTION Page 5
This NYSDOT project involves
access improvements between
Interstate 87, also known as the
Adirondack Northway, Wolf
Road, and the Albany Interna-
tional Airport, and will cost
about $22,299,497.
The primary objectives aim to
improve mobility and economic
development:
Improve access between I-87 and the Albany Interna-
tional Airport without pre-
cluding future I-87 improve-
ments, and without impact-
ing I-87 operations be-
tween Exit 2 and Exit 5.
Improve access between I-87 and Wolf Road without
precluding future, I-87 im-
provements, and without
impacting I-87 operations
between Exit 2 and Exit 5.
Improve intersection oper-ating conditions in the ex-
isting Exit 4 area and ad-
dress safety concerns
Eliminate the structural deficiencies associated
with the I-87 northbound
and southbound bridges
over Albany-Shaker Road
by providing bridges with a
50-year minimum service
life. The bridge work is in
construction now.
The following secondary objec-
tive will be considered during
the evaluation of design alterna-
tives:
Improve system connectivi-ty between the existing
pedestrian/bicycle facilities
on Wolf Road and the facili-
ties constructed as part of
t h e A l b a n y - S h a k e r /
Watervliet-Shaker Road
projects.

Many communities in the Capi-
tal District have developed,
and/or are in the process of
developing, Complete Streets
policies, which direct roads to
be built for all users including
bicyclists, pedestrians, transit
riders, and freight. New York
State Governor Andrew Cuomo
signed the Complete Streets
Act (Chapter 398, Laws of New
York) on August 15, 2011, re-
quiring state, county and local
agencies to consider the con-
venience and mobility of all
users when developing trans-
portation projects that receive
state and federal funding.
In spite of local and state regu-
lations favoring Complete
Streets, many of our local gov-
ernments have faced challeng-
es when developing and imple-
menting their policies. CDTC’s
first Complete Streets Educa-
tional & Technical Assistance
Workshop Series will help our
transportation planning practi-
tioners and decision makers
identify and overcome Com-
plete Streets policy and imple-
mentation barriers.
These free, one-day workshops
will be highly interactive in na-
ture, with the goal of building
local capacity to implement
Complete Streets approaches,
and strengthening relation-
ships between transportation
practitioners, other depart-
ments, and the community. Key
decision makers, stakeholders,
and agency professionals will
learn how to more effectively
balance the needs of all users
and routinely create and main-
tain Complete Streets.
The workshops will be made
available to our local govern-
ments through a competitive
application process, described
below. There is no local cost
share; however, host communi-
ties will be required to assist
with meeting logistics, includ-
ing securing a meeting space
and ensuring key stakeholders
will be in attendance.
For questions regarding the
Complete Streets Educational
& Technical Assistance Work-
shop Series, contact Chris Bau-
er of the CDTC staff at (518)

er@cdtcmpo.org.
Following several months of
internal work reviewing existing
conditions and previous plan-
ning studies, the project team
launched the first round of
major public outreach in June
2015. This first round was in-
tended to gather input on what
is most important to those who
live and work in the study area.
To assist with public communi-
cation, a project website was
launched and an informal sur-
vey was conducted, resulting in
nearly 80 responses. In addi-
tion, two public workshops
were held in Albany and
Watervliet at the end of June,
attracting over 125 partici-
pants. The workshops included
a formal presentation as well
as activity stations that allowed
for additional input on specific
topics such as the types of
strategies that are most im-
portant to the public and a
―map your ideas‖ station where
participants could post on a
map specific ideas or make
(Continued from page 3) suggestions. Over 136 specific
ideas were gathered through
the ―map your ideas station‖ in
addition to over 30 comment
cards.
The study team is also conduct-
ing a stakeholder survey in
August to gather additional
input from study area entities
that have a special interest,
ranging from businesses to
environmental groups. All of
the ideas submitted through
the workshops and various
surveys are being cataloged
and utilized by the project team
to help guide the development
of the short and long term
strategies.
The project team will be spend-
ing the late summer/early fall
developing specific strategies
and will be going back out to
the public for input on those
ideas in Late Fall 2015. For

system in good condition,
providing billions of dollars for
highway rehabilitation, recon-
struction, and design and for
bridge maintenance, repair,
and replacement by 2040.
Maintaining and replacing our
existing infrastructure will be
our highest priority, requiring
most of our existing resources.
New highways and bridges will
need to compete for less avail-
able funding.
Traffic Congestion
New Visions explores ways to
manage congestion and ease
daily commutes by using exist-
ing technology such as incident
and traffic information sys-
tems, and new technology such
as traffic routing systems, new
traffic signal monitoring tech-
nology and someday automat-
ed vehicles. The Plan also en-
courages support for more
transit, pedestrian and bicycle
travel, carpooling, vanpooling,
carsharing and bikesharing,
which can all reduce the num-
ber of vehicles on our roads.
Complete Streets
New Visions endorses local
Complete Street policies, which
encourage streets that are
designed and operated for all
users of all ages and abilities,
including pedestrians, bicy-
clists, motorists, transit users,
freight deliveries, children,
elderly and people with disabili-
ties. A properly designed
―Complete Street‖ will improve
safety, encourage walking and
biking, slow traffic, improve air
quality, promote local business,
and even encourage social
interaction.
Bicycle and Pedestrian Trans-
portation
New Visions encourages incor-
porating bicycle and pedestrian
accommodations into highway
and bridge construction and
city, village, and town plans. It
also provides for recreational
opportunities through creation
of bike/hike trails. The health
and recreational benefits of
bicycle and pedestrian facilities
are well documented.
Environmental Quality
New Visions supports energy
conservation and air quality in
the region by advocating sus-
tainable development patterns
and site design, urban reinvest-
ment, and community-based
land use planning. New Visions
also encourages transit, bicy-
cle, & pedestrian, carpooling,
carsharing, and bikesharing
investments & strong participa-
tion in the U.S. Department of
Energy Clean Cities program.
Freight Movement
New Visions advocates conges-
tion management and infra-
structure investments that will
support the movement of
goods throughout the Capital
District. Freight movement is
about how goods get to door-
steps and store shelves, but it
is also about freight’s positive
impact on the regional econo-
my, growth, and employment.
Environmental Justice
New Visions ensures that both
the positive and negative im-
pacts of transportation plan-
ning conducted by CDTC and its
members are fairly distributed
and that defined Environmental
Justice populations do not bear
disproportionately high and
adverse effects. Eliminating,
reducing and mitigating con-
flicts between land use, devel-
opment and transportation are
critical strategies to promoting
environmental justice.
Human Services Transportation
New Visions works with the
many human services transpor-
tation providers in our area to
identify the transportation
needs of individuals with disa-
bilities, older adults, and peo-
ple with low income. CDTC then
works to improve services for
these transportation disadvan-
taged populations by identify-
ing gaps and overlaps in ser-
vices, and providing recom-
mendations and funding for
improvements.
Local Communities
New Visions acknowledges the
importance of land use & de-
velopment, and of reducing
conflicts between them and
transportation. CDTC sponsors
the Community and Transporta-
tion Linkage Planning Program,
which provides funding for cit-
ies, towns, & villages to pre-
pare & implement community-
based transportation & land
use plans consistent with New
Visions principles.
Public Participation
CDTC seeks public participation
and input in every stage of the
planning process. The New
Visions Plan received public
input from the 9 New Visions
committees and their mem-
bers; public meetings held in
each of the 4 Counties; meet-
ings with stakeholder groups;
our website, surveys, and polls;
social media; and other CDTC
projects’ meetings.
Transportation Safety
New Visions offers an integrat-
ed approach to reduce risk for
all users of the transportation
system — especially bicyclists,
pedestrians, children, and the
elderly. CDTC will examine traf-
fic safety data, identify high
crash locations, identify charac-
teristics across roadway sys-
tems that are common to loca-
tions with a crash history, ana-
lyze potential mitigation
measures and solutions, and
develop a competitive funding
process to make these im-
provements. Where the data
may not be available, CDTC will
work to educate all users to
―coexist‖ and to develop strate-
gies to improve safety.
Transit Service
New Visions begins with our
regional transit provider -
CDTA’s - 5-year Transit Devel-
opment Plan. Beyond 5 years,
CDTC will examine future popu-
lation growth trends, forecast
transit ridership, and identify
future needs. This will improve
a variety of transit services for
the Capital District, increase
mobility and support economic
development and smart region-
al growth. Transit should ac-
complish multiple objectives,
including transit-oriented and
urban development, neighbor-
hood revitalization, and com-
munity connections.
Highways and Bridges
New Visions makes a strong
commitment to keeping the
region’s highway and bridge

B R I D G E W O R K I N G G RO U P
In November of 2013, CDTC
formed a Bridge Working Group
to address questions and con-
cerns raised by the Planning
Committee in response to the
paradigm shift from routine
replacement or rehabilitation of
bridges to an emphasis on
more affordable preservation
under the MAP-21 Federal
transportation legislation and
New York State Department of
Transportation’s ―Preservation
First‖ strategy. The Bridge
Working Group, comprised of
members representing four
counties, local cities, NYSDOT,
and CDTC, discussed various
issues related to bridge preser-
vation approaches and the
funding and programming of
repairs.
One major outcome of the
Bridge Working Group sessions
was the concept of a mecha-
nism to assist local bridge own-
ers in identifying longer-term
bridge preservation needs.
Such an effort required strong
technical information on bridge
conditions, strategies, and
costs to be created and assem-
bled in support of the planning
efforts of local bridge owners.
As a result, consultant CDM
Smith was selected to contract
with CDTC for a study entitled
―Identification of Bridge Preser-
vation Candidates, Treatments
and Costs for Locally-Owned
Capital District Bridges.‖ The
consultant was tasked with the
review and evaluation of the
most up-to-date existing infor-
mation on structural condi-
tions, as well as with selective
field investigation of bridges
and assessment of individual
critical bridge elements.
CDM Smith’s recently complet-
ed Bridge Report and database
is enlightening and informative
regarding the state of the Capi-
tal District region’s bridges.
There are 389 bridges within
CDTC’s jurisdiction that are
owned and maintained by the
local municipalities (counties,
cities, towns, and villages). 92
of these bridges, or nearly one-
quarter, have been found by
previous NYSDOT inspections
to be ―structurally deficient,‖ a
term which describes bridges
that have some load-carrying
elements in poor condition due
to deterioration. These bridges
are not unsafe or they would
not be in operation. However,
their structural deficiency sig-
nals a need for investment that
is often higher in priority than
bridges that are in better condi-
tion. An additional 123 bridges
– over 30% - are judged to be
―functionally obsolete,‖ a
broader term which describes a
bridge that is no longer opti-
mally fulfilling its role within the
transportation system, often
because needs or geometric
des ign standards have
changed since the bridge was
constructed.
CDM Smith made repair recom-
mendations on 189 of the
bridges in the region, totaling
$80.5M in need over the next
ten or more years. Of these,
137 bridges are considered
candidates for preservation,
valued in total at $42M in re-
pairs. 52 bridges were found
to be beyond preservation and
would likely require more full-
scale replacement. Of special
interest, among the four coun-
ties of the region, the greatest
number of bridges is located in
Rensselaer County. Conse-
quently also the largest volume
of recommended bridge repairs
– $39.5M devoted to 87 bridg-
es – is in Rensselaer County.
While the Bridge Report provid-
ed by CDM Smith to CDTC and
the Bridge Working Group con-
firms that bridges remain safe,
increased levels of investment
will be needed moving forward
in order to ensure that condi-
tions do not worsen and that
delayed repairs do not result in
even larger future expenditures
for repairs and maintenance.
The Bridge Report and data-
base will help guide municipali-
ties and CDTC in understanding
conditions, risks, and repair
strategies in order to facilitate
prioritization and rational pro-
gramming of future bridge sta-
bilization and repair work. The
intended end result is that lim-
ited resources will be put to
most effective use in stabiliza-
tion of the Capital District re-
gion’s bridge assets within a
comprehensive and objective
bridge management program.
