ROUTE 29 STAKEHOLDERS WORKSHOP
April 24, 2020Charlottesville-Albemarle MPO Policy Board
• A Preferred Scenario was identified to include:• Option B at Route 29 and Hydraulic Road• Option A at Route 29 and Angus Road• Bicycle-Pedestrian Overpass near Zan Road• Roundabout at Hydraulic Road and Hillsdale Blvd.• Access Improvement on Hydraulic Road
• Updated Analysis Comparison• Updated Comparison Matrix• Preferred Scenario Sketch and Preliminary Cost Estimate
March 25th & April 1st Meeting Recap

Route 29 / Hydraulic Rd.
Virginia Department of Transportation
Option B – Concept• No lefts from Hydraulic
Road• Pedestrian crossing
included
Estimated Cost$1.0 – $1.2 Mil.
This estimated cost does not include improvements to other
intersections
Virginia Department of Transportation
US 29 & Angus Rd. Option A – Concept
• Continuous Green T • Improved signal timing• Maintains current
pedestrian crossing
Estimated Cost$1.2 – $1.4 Mil.
This estimated cost does not include improvements to other
intersections
Zan Road Bicycle and Pedestrian Concept
Virginia Department of Transportation
• Bicycle and pedestrian only grade separation
• Significantly less cost and impact
• Flexible configuration • Transit stops with pull
offs on both sides of Route 29
Estimated Cost$9 – $12 Mil.
This estimated cost does not include improvements to other
intersections
Hydraulic Rd./Hillsdale Dr. Roundabout
Virginia Department of Transportation
Converts existing signalized intersection
to a roundabout
Estimated Cost$7.0 – $9.0 Mil.
This estimated cost does not include improvements to other intersections

Hydraulic Rd. Access ImprovementsAccess Improvement
at Brandywine Dr.and Michie Dr.
Right in / left in and right out at both Brandywine Dr.
and Michie Dr.(Left out would turn right and
U-turn at the roundabout)
Estimated Cost$800,000 – $1.0 Mil.
This estimated cost does not include improvements to other
intersections

Project Comparison MatrixNotes• The delay represents total intersection delay and does not include benefits from any
adjacent intersection improvements. The Hydraulic Access Improvement portion does not have an analysis.
• The operations analysis for the roundabout and conventional intersection are done separately at this stage of analysis, using different tools. These analyses are not comparable. The system analysis provides a better overall performance measure for comparing the future no-build scenario to the preferred scenario with visualizations/automations/etc. for review.
• Estimated costs are based on standalone projects and represent the current-year cost and future cost for the project.

• Extends Hillsdale from Hydraulic Rd to Route 250
• Relocates ramps• Improves Holiday
Drive
• MPO staff submitted the SMART SCALE pre-application for this scenario the week of April 13th. The full application is due August 3rd
• We will develop no-build and build simulation scenarios along with a comparison matrix of the analysis data for review
• We will present this material to the MPO Policy Board at its next meeting along with any comments received
• We will continue to make minor changes to the preferred solutions to include any additional comments, provide more detailed analysis of the preferred solution operations and present them again to the panel later this spring
