Planning level corridor study of NH Route 111 in Windham, NH from the intersection of Ledge Road / London Bridge Road easterly approximately 1.6 miles to the Wall Street / NH Route 111 intersection. This work will also include extending the traffic analysis only from the intersection with NH Route 128 to the intersection of Wall Street.
The purpose of the project is to update and extend the July 2011 planning level corridor study (http://windhamnh.gov/200/NH-Route-111-Corridor-Wall-Street-Extens) to consider public transit including bicycle use, transit pull offs and sidewalks. The project should also consider opportunities to enhance the Town Center, located on NH Route 111 (see also conceptual beautification plans https://www.windhamnh.gov/272/Town-Center-Beautification-Sub-Committee). The project should be developed considering complete streets and context sensitive designs. This study should be an effective tool for assessing existing conditions, developing a preferred future condition, and offering interim fixes for transitioning the corridor. Other considerations may include:

• Define and assess acceptable levels of access and mobility,
  
• Determine transportation system needs to support surrounding land uses,
• Consolidate and control access points,
• Consider roundabouts in the design as shown in the July 2011 study recommendations,
• Identify operational deficiencies and promote operational efficiency,
• Maximize existing infrastructure and consider future infrastructure improvements,
• Improve safety conditions,
• Identify congestion reduction,
• Traffic analysis,
• Stormwater concepts and considerations,
• Cost estimates
  

The study shall include conceptual engineering plans for inclusion in the final report and shall be developed in sufficient detail to establish a geometric framework to guide future improvement projects in the Corridor and to create planning level cost estimates for such improvements.
