Access <br />A comprehensive field inventory was conducted of all of the access points in the corridor. Two <br />basic types of accesses were counted, public and private. Table 7 displays the number of full - <br />access and the number of restricted -access points by segment. The inventory shows 74 access <br />points over the 5.1-mile corridor, or approximately 15 access points per mile. In some segments, <br />where there are a number of driveways and public streets, there are over 26 access points per <br />mile. A number of studies have demonstrated a relationship between the number of access <br />points and the number of crashes, including FHWA Access Research Report No. FHWA-RD-91- <br />044. The results of this federal study are presented in Figure 6. <br />Table 7 <br />Public and Private Access Points <br />Segment <br />Location <br />Segment <br />Length <br />(miles) <br />Number of Accesses(l) <br />Accesses <br />Per Mile <br />Full <br />T-Int. <br />Other(2) <br />Total <br />A <br />CSAH 7 (7th Ave.) <br />to TH 47 <br />1.00 <br />3/(0) <br />0/(0) <br />1 */(2) <br />4/(2) <br />6 <br />B <br />TH 47 to CSAH 57 <br />(Sunfish Lake Blvd.) <br />1.62 <br />5/(7) <br />8/(23) <br />0/(0) <br />13/(30) <br />26.5 <br />C <br />CSAH 57 (Sunfish <br />Lake Blvd.) to <br />Sunwood Dr. <br />0.67 <br />5/(3) <br />0/(4) <br />0/(0) <br />5/(7) <br />17.9 <br />D <br />Sunwood Dr. to <br />CSAH 83 (Armstrong <br />Blvd.) <br />1.75 <br />4/(4) <br />3/(2) <br />0/(0) <br />7/(6) <br />7.4 <br />TOTAL <br />5.09 <br />17/(16) <br />11/(29) <br />1/(0) <br />29/(45) <br />14.5 <br />1 X/(X) — Number of Public Access Points/(Number of Private Access points). <br />2 Right in/out access points. <br />* Access to the high school. <br />Figures 7 through 10 show existing access along the corridor by type. <br />SRF Consulting Group, Inc. - 15 - February 2004 <br />
