TVGA Engineering, Surveying, P.C. was selected by the Town of Clarence to provide engineering services for the Eastern Hills Corridor Plan. The corridor study investigates the proposed extension of an existing public highway development of a schematic development plan. The proposed roadway is approximately 0.8 miles, and links Main Street with Sheridan Drive. The proposed alignment utilizes the rear portion of the Eastern Hills Mall parking fields. The project opens approximately 30 acres for commercial development meeting the Town’s economic development objectives.

The study included traffic analysis and evaluation of existing zoning environmental and land use conditions. Implementation strategies include recommendations for Master Plan and Zoning revisions. The project scope included the development and evaluation of two alignment alternatives and the ultimate selection of a suitable alternative meeting the transportation, safety and access management needs within the corridor.
Lane and intersection geometry was confirmed through a traffic analysis; including trip generation of new development, distribution of the existing proposed traffic and diversion of traffic from existing roadways. Utilities adjacent to the study corridor were evaluates based upon anticipated development along the proposed Town road to determine availability and existing bcapacity. The study included recommended improvements to the sanitary sewer, water and stormwater sewer to support this new development.
The study was conducted with GIS mapping and databases for existing conditions, property, and proposed land uses and alignments. Monthly meetings between TVGA and the Town Planning Board Executive Committee facilitated the review and evaluation of a series of concept alignments and land use scenarios. Access Management Techniques are incorporated into the project’s final recommendations plan.
