Project Description:

The Adirondack/Glens Falls Transportation Council (A/GFTC) initiated the Exit 20 Corridor Management Plan with the goal of developing a comprehensive and implementable recommendation plan consistent with local planning and development objectives. The Plan focuses on the US Route 9 corridor in and around Interstate 87 (I-87) Exit 20 and includes access management and land use recommendations, improved accommodations for pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transit, evaluation and recommendations for signalized intersections based on SYNCHRO analysis of the corridor, congestion and accident mitigation strategies and assessment of feasible interchange reconfigurations. The Plan documents and analyzes three land use alternatives and details alternative improvements which can be used to develop and implement guidelines, policies, and specific actions to support and enhance the Corridor, while providing a safe and attractive environment for all users as local and regional development occurs.
