WSP concluded the Comprehensive Transportation Plan for the Town of Wake Forest in 2019.At the onset,our team and the technical review committee formulated a vision,goals,and objectives for the project.For the development of the transportation plan,our team started by analyzing the existing and future populations and employment,commute and other travel patterns,existing plans and studies in the area,existing,planned,and funded transportation network, and traffic and safety data. During this review,we realized that the official future population and employment projections in the ETJ of Wake Forest have been severely undercounted.We recalculated the population and employment data in each TAZ in a workshop with the Town based on the ongoing and planned development projects,and available area for future development.This change had a significant impact on the future traffic volumes and patterns,which led to more informed decision making along the project. The project also included two rounds of public engagement,one at the onset to solicit comments about existing concerns and desired outcomes,and another after development of multi-modal recommendations.Our team developed recommendations for roadway improvements,new roadway alignments,intersection improvements, bicycle and pedestrian network,and transit.We also developed short-and long-term recommendations for six hotspot intersections spread across the study area. We prepared the final report using ESRI's StoryMaps platform;an interactive,easy-to-use,web-based tool which uses text,maps,videos,and other graphics to make reports more useful for the community,stakeholders,and the Town staff.The report was designed such that each recommendation type was readily identifiable as a pop-up on the map. Our team received several accolades from the Town staff,the planning board,and the board of commissioners for this innovative approach to report-writing.The report format has since been revised by the new Town staff using the latest version of StoryMaps.Many details from the original StoryMaps report have been transferred to a PDF based report. The adjacent screenshots are from the original StoryMaps layout. Project Team Members Involved&Roles: Shivang Shelat(DPM);Sarah Parkins(Public Engagement Lead);Sravya Suryadevara(Traffic Lead)
