Summary of Preliminary Phase 1 Assumptions, Findings, and RecommendationsEisenhower East Small Area Plan 2019 Update March 27, 2019

• Mixed-Use, Transit Oriented Development

- Area is served by two Metro Stations and Amtrak/VRE

- Trips to and from destinations can easily be made by non-auto means

• Multimodal Transportation Improvements Planned by City

- Complete Streets

- Vision Zero

- Transportation Master Plan

- Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan

- Smart Mobility

Mode split (also called mode share) is the

percentage of travelers using a particular type (or

mode) of transportation when traveling

Auto

Transit

Walk

Bike

Land Use Proximity to Metro/Type Auto Transit Bike Walk

Adjacent to Metro 30% 55% 5% 10%

<1/4 Mile to Metro 35% 50% 5% 10%

>1/4 Mile and <1/2 Mile 40% 45% 5% 10%

Adjacent to Metro 30% 60% 5% 5%

<1/4 Mile to Metro 35% 55% 5% 5%

>1/4 Mile and <1/2 Mile 40% 50% 5% 5%

Neighborhood Serving Retail 10% 10% 5% 75%

Destination Retail 50% 10% 5% 35%

Grocery Store 65% 5% 5% 25%

1) Increase in density and changes in uses will have a manageable impact on the

surrounding transportation network, assuming recommendations and mitigation measures

are implemented (Preliminary Mitigations are shown on accompanying board)

2) Phase 2 of analysis will further refine and verify preliminary mitigations

Findings from Preliminary Phase 1 Analysis

1) Complete Grid of Streets

2) Standardization of Signals

3) Study Feasibility of Implementing Increased Bus Service

4) Provide Parking Ratios to Encourage Non-Auto Use

5) Implement Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plans

6) Improved Bicycle Infrastructure

7) Implement Transportation Technologies

Recommendations from Preliminary Phase 1 Analysis

• Mode Splits Assumed in Preliminary Phase 1 Study

- Based data collected at comparable sites in Northern Virginia (including Eisenhower East) and Washington

DC, Census data, and WMATA Ridership Survey

Factors Considered in Preliminary Phase 1 Analysis

• Changes in Transportation since 2003 Plan was Approved

- Parking Standards for New Developments

- Capital Bikeshare

- Transportation Network Companies (TNCs)

Uber, Lyft, Via, etc.

- Car-Sharing

Zipcar, Maven, Car2Go, Free2Move, etc.

- Dockless Mobility

Lime, Lyft, Jump, Bird, Bolt, etc.

No Mitigation Required

*Preliminary mitigations from the Phase 1 analysis are

system-wide improvements that are needed to maintain levels

of service similar to 2003 plan/development program;

mitigations require verification in Phase 2 of analysis
