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.

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

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.

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 /

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.

Complete Streets Educational

& Technical Assistance Work-

shop Series, contact Chris Bau-

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.
