55. Existing Land Use
• Commercial strip development along
Commercial Route 31 and US 202
Industrial
• Undeveloped agricultural lands
converting to commercial and
industrial uses
• Still lots of undeveloped land
(opportunity to shape future
development pattern)
Undeveloped Land
57. Flemington Today
• Sparse Network
• Three routes all meet at
“Flemington Circle”

• Transform circle to square
• Continue development of parallel street south of 202
• New site development standards that focus on the street & pedestrian
environment

75. 93% of the Trips are Local Trips Rather than Regional Through Trips
Only 7% of
trips on US 202
are regional
through trips.
Most trips are best
served by a complete
network of local roads
37% of all trips
begin or end in
the study area.
56% of all trips are
completely local,
beginning and
ending in the study
area.
76. Travel Times and Total Travel
The Expressway significantly reduces Which brings more travel into the
travel time for regional through corridor
trips…

86. Existing Conditions
Issues & Concerns:
1) Limited Street Network
• Requires 29 / 49 to accommodate all
existing and future traffic.
City Boulevard Station • Limits the potential for an Urban
Boulevard.
• Limits the Transit Oriented Development
Potential of the Study Area.
2) Roadway Design Speed and Access
• Limits Pedestrian Oriented Development
• Limits Land Development Potential.
• Prohibits Rocky River Station.

87. Primary Street Network
These streets are critical to the
success of the 29 / 49 Intersection
and can be developed as property is
developed without City money:
1) Extension of the 85 Connector to
City Boulevard.
City Boulevard Station
2) Creation of North / South Parallel
Road from connector to McCullough
Drive (Harris)
3) Extension of Shopping Center Drive

As a society, we have created a number of financial, environmental, and social problems. If we are to solve this new generation of challenges, we must adhere to Einstein’s theory that the solutions will lie in thinking differently. In the past we built transportation systems that solved the challenges of the time; now we have a new set of challenges, and need a new set of solutions.
