Project Pipeline Monticello Avenue/St. Paul's Boulevard Study (HR-23-06)

Project Pipeline Monticello Avenue/St. Paul's Boulevard Study (HR-23-06)

 Project Pipeline is a performance-based planning program to identify cost-effective solutions to multimodal transportation needs in Virginia. Through this planning process, projects and solutions may be considered for funding through programs, including SMART SCALE, revenue sharing, interstate funding and others.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the operational and safety issues identified on the Monticello Avenue/St. Paul's Boulevard corridor from East Charlotte Street/Wood Street to Church Street, with a focus on providing enhanced pedestrian, bicycle, and transit access, as well as congestion mitigation and safety improvements. From 2018 to 2022, there were 392 crashes along the corridor; 69 percent were angle crashes, and 16 percent were rear-end crashes. In the same time period, there were seven crashes involving pedestrians with two pedestrian fatalities and three total fatalities. Improving safety for all road users is a focus of this study. Congestion mitigation is also needed, particularly at the southern end of the corridor related to the I-264 ramps and at the northern end in the vicinity of 26th Street and 27th Street. The objective of this study is to identify cost-effective preferred improvement alternatives that address the deficient conditions and prioritize safety for vulnerable users.
