Abstract:
The Town of Penfield, a suburban town adjacent to Rochester, New York, is experiencing a substantial growth in development and resulting traffic pressures along Routes 441 & 250, two arterial State highways that traverse the town. Prompted by these pressures, and coupled with an upcoming 1997 New York State DOT improvement project for these roadways, the Town, in cooperation with NYSDOT, developed and adopted an Access Management Overlay district that incorporates a Land Use and Access Management Plan (LUAMP) for Routes 441 and 250. The primary purpose of the LUAMP is to provide a comprehensive and coordinated management plan for access control to improve the capacity and safety along these roadways. The LUAMP equips the Town Planning Board with the basic framework or planning tool for accommodating future growth along these two corridors.
