FDA Master Plan Traffic Technical ReportTransportation SystemTransit, Pedestrian, and Bicycle FacilitiesSeveral enhancements are recommended to provide better connections for alternative modes, suchas transit, pedestrians, and bicyclists. These recommendations include: Provide a 10-foot wide multi-use path along the campus loop roads that connect pedestrianand bicycle facilities on the external roadway network to the on-campus facilities.Provide secure, covered bicycle parking near building entrances. FDA currently provideslocker room and shower facilities as well as bicycle repair stations throughout the campus.Construct a new transit hub that provides a climate-controlled waiting area with amenities,such as benches, wi-fi, and real-time transit information.Work with Montgomery County to provide a connection to the proposed Columbia Pike andNew Hampshire Avenue bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors.Work with Montgomery County, SHA, and Prince George’s County to enhance pedestrianand bicycle connections to nearby residential and commercial centers, as well as to regionalpedestrian/bicycle path networks.ACTION ALTERNATIVE WITH MITIGATION CAPACITY ANALYSIS RESULTSThe proposed enhancements would result in intersections that operate at similar, or better, levels ofservice when compared to the Action Alternative (see Exhibits 3 and 4 in Appendix C). Table 18identifies the intersections that would continue operate at an overall LOS E or F.Furthermore, the recommended intelligent transportation technology, transportation demandmanagement, and additional pedestrian, bicycle, and transit facilities would provide additionalbenefits to reduce the transportation impacts of the proposed consolidation and expansion. Whilethe benefits cannot be directly tied to the capacity analysis results, it can be assumed that theseimprovements would further help to mitigate the deficiencies identified in the Action Alternative.Page 59

FDA Master Plan Traffic Technical ReportCHAPTERTransportation System4: CONCLUSIONSThe results of the study show that the consolidation and expansion at the White Oak Campus wouldhave an adverse impact on traffic conditions within the study area. Given the congested nature of thestudy area corridors, the additional development in the area, combined with trips generated by theproposed consolidation and expansion would require a combination of intelligent transportationtechnology, transportation demand management programs, additional roadway capacity, andimproved transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities. Recommended mitigation measures include:Intelligent Transportation Technology Evaluate the installation of traffic adaptive/demand responsive signal systems alongColumbia Pike (US 29), New Hampshire Avenue (MD 650), and Cherry Hill Road.Install Dynamic Message Signs (DMS) along Columbia Pike (US 29).Transportation Demand Management Enhance the existing transportation demand management (TDM) program to encouragemore employees to commute via modes other than driving alone. A transportationmanagement plan (TMP) will be developed for the site as a separate document in 2018.Expand the commuter shuttle system to include direct shuttle service to and from Park andRide facilities along the I-270 corridor.Work with Montgomery County and the Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) toidentify the potential for new park-and-ride facilities near major interchanges to reducelocalize impacts.Additional Roadway CapacityThe following table lists the intersections that require mitigation, the recommended mitigationmeasures, as well as the lead agency that would be needed to implement the recommendations.However, it should be noted that, due to existing and projected No Action Alternative congestion onthe study area roadway network, not all increases in delay and queuing could be mitigated. Severalintersections along Columbia Pike (US 29), as well as the intersection of New Hampshire Avenue(MD 650) and Powder Mill Road could not be fully improved given the existing geometry and ROWconstraints. Improvements like grade separation, which was previously planned by MD SHA forsignalized intersections along Columbia Pike (US 29), would need to be coordinated through MDSHA and Montgomery County. Conversion of the at-grade intersections to interchanges is a longterm project; therefore, the Action with Mitigation evaluates the short-term enhancements only. It isassumed that delay and queuing at those intersections would be fully mitigated once they areconverted to interchanges.Page 61
