Village of Warsaw Active Transportation Plan - Recommendations Phase
Village of Warsaw Active Transportation Plan - Recommendations Phase
On behalf of the Village of Warsaw, Wyoming County Planning Department, Genesee Transportation Council, and other community partners, we invite you to join us in creating an Active Transportation Plan to guide future decisions in the village. Essentially, it is a forward-thinking and achievable plan that will reflect the community's need to increase pedestrian/bicyclist mobility through a safe, comfortable, interconnected multi-modal network for people of all ages & abilities.
The project began in late 2022 with an inventory and analysis of existing conditions. We had a public virtual open house in June 2023 where people helped us identify issues and shared their vision for the community. Based on the analysis and community input, we’ve developed a vision and draft recommendations for your review.
Please join us for a community Open House on September 20, 2023 or browse each topic area on the navigation tabs below.
- Learn about the project and planning process.
- Review and comment on the draft community vision and recommendations.
- Participate in a live session with the consultant team and project sponsors.
- Following this meeting, we will seek to refine and prepare a draft report for the community to review.
Technical Memo #1: Existing Conditions and Public Engagement Summary
Village of Warsaw Active Transportation Plan
The project team assessed all existing conditions in order to recommend improvements. As part of the task, they researched previous plans and studies, existing land use and zoning regulations for new construction. They conducted a detailed walkability assessment with an emphasis on Main Street (Route 19,) Buffalo Street (Route 20A,) and Court Street. The findings of the first round of public engagement was also summarized and documented. A detailed transportation analysis looked at highway traffic conditions and patterns including roadway jurisdictions, traffic volumes, vehicle speeds and other observations. The draft version was distributed to key stakeholders, the steering committee and others.
Over the summer, the project team received comments from local officials, NYSDOT, and others. The revised draft will be incorporated into the Final Report at the conclusion of the study.
