Purpose of the Case Study Existing Infrastructure Associated With the Site Local Transportation Infrastructure Assessment Conclusions and Recommendations From the Assessment
In order to gain a better understanding of the process and infrastructure issues associated with the redevelopment of the Hays site, two methods of investigation were used in this case study. Since the Hays site is currently undergoing redevelopment, it was critical to interact with parties involved in the process and document the process, interactions, and information concerning transportation infrastructure issues.
In addition, a local infrastructure assessment of the site was performed. The purpose of the local infrastructure assessment was to "quantify" the condition of the existing transportation infrastructure in light of the changes that will be necessary for the redevelopment of the site as discussed in the previous section. The local infrastructure assessment included: condition assessment of an existing bridge structure (Ramp Street); condition assessment and design related to the pavement surface on Mifflin Road; and discussion of the current plans for increasing turning radii for the trucks on the local streets. Each of the three components of the local infrastructure assessment will be discussed in detail in the following sections.
