March 21, 2013 - PIM, Alternatives

• View ALL alternative maps/exhibits
  • Exhibit - Balanced design info.
  • Main Ave. and 3rd St. traffic signal
  • Main Ave. and 8th Street existing conditions
  • Main Ave. and 8th St. proposed signal
  • Alternative 1 - Improve existing conditions - Maintains the existing roadway configuration with the addition of exclusive turn lanes at critical intersections to improve operations to meet standards.
  • Alternative 2 - Two-way conversion - Analyzes a complete conversion of both Main Avenue and Reid Street to two-way traffic. 3rd Street would also be converted to two-way traffic to accommodate the bidirectional traffic patterns. Main Avenue would be designated as WIS 32 and Reid Street would become a local street.
  • Alternative 2B - Not shown as an alternative due to traffic operation concerns at 3rd St., between Main St. and Reid St.
  • Alternative 3 - 3rd and 4th Street, one-way pair - Maintains the one-way patterns of Main Avenue and Reid Street. In addition, 3rd Street and 4th Street would be converted to one-way traffic (3rd Street northbound, 4th Street southbound) from Main Avenue to Lost Dauphin Road. This alternative was developed by the study team.
  • Alternative 4 - Reverse flow circulating lane - Was taken from the De Pere Downtown Master Plan. The conceptual plan maintains the existing one-way pair of Main Avenue and Reid Street for WIS 32 regional traffic and provides an additional counter flow lane for local access between 6th Street and 3rd Street.
  • Alternative 5 - Modified reverse flow - Was also based on the De Pere Downtown Master Plan however would discontinue the counter flow lane east of 4th Street. The counter directional traffic lane would exist between 6th Street and 4th Street for access to local businesses. Traffic exiting the downtown area eastbound over the Claude Allouez Bridge would still need to travel on Reid Street and 3rd Street to continue eastbound.
