Road Safety Audit

East Central is in the process of studying the CTH JJ Corridor to address the growing concern over pedestrian and bike safety and quality of life. The CTH JJ Corridor (CTH A to STH 55) is located in Outagamie County at the northern fringe of the Fox Cities.

A Road Safety Audit (RSA) took place September 26 and 27, 2011, to evaluate the entire corridor for safety deficiencies. The RSA was a collaborative effort between Outagamie County Highway Department, Planning Department, Sheriff's Department; the City of Appleton; Town of Grand Chute; Fox Cities Greenways; North STARS; East Central; Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). As part of FHWA's Peer to Peer Program, FHWA paid for Gene Calvert, Principal Project Manager of Traffic Operations from Collier County, Florida, to travel to Appleton and assist in the RSA process.

The RSA team consisted of a County engineer, WisDOT traffic engineer, police officer, trail advocate and Safe Routes To School planners. The RSA involved an in-depth performance examination of an existing roadway and intersections by the audit team to identify potential road safety issues and suggest opportunities for improvements in safety for all road users. A public meeting will be scheduled shortly to go over the RSA report and to accept comments.
