City of Middleton Master Transportation Plan - This project involved the inventory of existing roads condition using GPS survey and future transportation planning in the Middleton Impact Area. Geometric alignment, passing and sight distances, lane and shoulder widths, lane configurations, pedestrian pathways, existing traffic on SH 44 and other roadways, the surrounding land use and zoning were factors taken into consideration for the study. The intersections along State Highway 44 were analyzed for existing and future traffic conditions. A Technical Advisory Committee was formed to provide input and suggestions to prepare the plan. COMPASS developed a travel demand forecast model for the study area to forecast future travel demand. Project involved a public workshop to obtain comments from the public. Comments and input from the City of Middleton, Canyon County Highway District #4, COMPASS and ITD helped to determine future developments such as future roadways, alternate SH 44 route, pedestrian and bike routes, signalized intersections. Recommendations were then made to the City, which included a Capital Improvement Project list. Plan was adopted in September 2007.
