How will the Strategic Highway Corridors concept impact current Thoroughfare and Transportation Plans?
For consistency sake local Transportation Plans should consider the overarching vision of the Strategic Highway Corridors concept as facility types are designated for local highway facilities. The Strategic Highway Corridors concept represents part of the input/data that should be used; any mobility deficiency should be addressed in the deficiency analysis and recommendations. The Strategic Highway Corridors concept however, is still a new concept and efforts to mesh statewide planning and local planning will take time and may create inconsistencies in the short term. The recent shift towards recommending future facility types in local Transportation Plans (vs. major/minor thoroughfares) provides a common framework between local Plans and the Strategic Highway Corridors concept.
