To: James S. Clifford, City Administrator _
From: Libby Hodges, Director of Planning and Development
Subject: Planning Commission Recommendations:W. Martintown Rd. Corridor Study
Date: February 22, 2021
At the February 18, 2021, Planning Commission meeting, the Commission reviewed the
recommendations from AECOM regardingthe W. Martintown Corridor Study.
The Commission unanimously recommended approval of the study with cases prioritized as
indicated on attached list. The Commission also recommended that Council consider funding
these projects through ARTS (Augusta Regional Transportation Study, Metropolitan Planning
Organization), Capital Projects Funds, and Impact Fees.
The study is being forwarded to Council to consider for adoption. By adopting the study and its
recommendations, the study results will be used as a guiding document for staff project
planning.The following information is included for review and reference:
• Project prioritization list:This is the Planning Commission's preferred project
prioritization. After confirmation with the Chair,the intended order of prioritization are
the "Primary Projects," projects 1-4, L-3, 1-5, 1-2, and 1-1.The remaining recommended
projects are listed as "Secondary Projects."Adopting this priority list will not remove any
other projects, but will clarify what projects are pursued first by staff.
• PowerPoint Presentation about the study
• Local Funding Brief
• Public comment: Public comment received to date (updated to the date of this memo)
and the funding brief submitted to the Planning Commission. Comments will be
accepted until at least March 1, 2021,
• Draft resolution for adoption: Several details remain at the discretion of the Council.
The entire plan may be reviewed here: http://www.northaugusta.net/MartintownRoadStud
if any Council member would like a hard copy of the study, please let us know and we will
assemble a notebook. if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

• Project was awarded in January, 2020, to AECOM to:
• Conduct a corridor study that included a review of the existing
traffic operation and safety
• Assess conditions along the corridor within the study area,
• Project future traffic conditions based on potential future land
use and development plan, and
• Identify potential deficiencies to propose improvement
measures.

• Along West Martintown Road (1-5):
• Sidewalks should be five feet wide and connected between building
entrances to surrounding streets, transit stops,parking lots,and
adjacent development;
• Sidewalks should be landscaped with shade trees at an average of one
tree every 50 feet;and
• Crosswalks should be designated and coordinated to move people
safely to and from buildings and through parking areas.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Recommendations:
Given the lack of pedestrian facilities along the corridor,it will be critical
to provide internal pedestrian facilities and pedestrian crosswalks and

transit stops.

Bicycle and Pedestrian Recommendations:
• The study area corridor has limited on-road bicycle opportunities.
Additions to the on-road bicycle network will improve safety and comfort
for bicyclists and may encourage more bicycling.
• Recommendations for bicycle facilities include:
• Install bike lanes
• Install shared lane markings
• Seek opportunities to connect to the North Augusta Greeneway

LOCAL TRANSPORTATION FUNDING OPTIONS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Planning Commission may use this brief to review options for local funding assistance for W.
Martintown Road Corridor projects.The Planning Commission's recommendation will be
forwarded to City Council for consideration.
ACTION REQUESTED
Along with the recommendation to Council regarding the overall study for W.Martintown Road
Corridor,the Planning Commission may include recommendations for local funding options for
improvement projects.
BACKGROUND
Most large transportation projects are achieved using a mixture of funding sources—federal,
state and local.The W.Martintown Road Corridor Study was undertaken to provide coordinated
projects that will address current traffic and safety challenges along this corridor.
With the completion of the W. Martintown Road Corridor study,staff has requested the
Planning Commission prioritize the recommended projects.As part of this prioritization,the
Planning Commission may wish to review funding options.City participation in improvement
projects may serve to speed their installation.
The City currently uses City tax collections,Capital Project Sales Tax(CPST),and has traditionally
used the Augusta Regional Transportation Study(ARTS) Metropolitan Planning Organization and
Lower Savannah Council of Governments to fund projects.
Following is a review of local funding options for transportation projects.
Policy Brief—Information Only
Local Transportation Funding Options
February 18,2021
Page 2 of 2
LOCAL FUNDING METHODS
Following is a brief description of alternate types of local funding methods.
• General obligation bonds
o This is mostly used on very large capital projects or a series or package of large projects.
o Generally not a cost effective solution for small to moderate transportation projects.
• Capital Project Sales Tax(CPST)
o We have used this source,however,the next cycle will not be ready for several years.
Current funds are allocated to other high-priority projects.
• Municipal/County improvement and assessment districts
o There will be some lag between assessment and collection that may not provide
immediate relief for needed projects
o Plan would be required for districts and rate calculations
• Special tax district(debt-limit exempt)bonds for localized facilities and services
o There will be some lag between assessment and collection that may not provide
immediate relief for needed projects,but may be faster than ARTS
• Impact fees
o Adopting these fees would require us to create a Capital Improvement Plan(CIP).There
are some specific requirements for those plans.
o Websites with more information:
• Mount Pleasant:httus:-!wwwxom sc.com-154 Estimate_M.-Im_act-Fees
• Lexington: httrs:',,lexsc.com/6841m;iact-Fee-Documents
■ To give you an idea of what these fees would be,Fort Mill recently completed a
study and has proposed charging the following:The maxfee for an apartment
would be$2,397 per unit.It's$2,461 per 1,000 square feet of office building,
$1,939 per 1,000 square feet of shopping center and$1,350 per 1,000 square
feet of light industrial space.
(htt, s: www.heraldonline.com,news!local/communitviarticle243363771.htmIj
Rural infrastructure,CDBG or other grant or loan programs may be available as well,but will
require additional research and will have very specific applications.
