Modal Integration Improvements

Enabling motorized and non-motorized users to share the roadway environment safely and efficiently is not an easy task.  The characteristics of these modes of travel are vastly different, and yet, they compete for the same space.  Unfortunately, motorized transportation such as passenger cars and commercial vehicles, can often dominate the transportation infrastructure due to their disproportionate size and numbers.  Astute planning and design of transportation infrastructure is one component necessary in achieving an integrated motorized and non-motorized transportation system that is relatively safe and efficient for all users.
 
As part of the Transportation Plan, the City of Northfield is developing a Crosswalk Installation Policy to objectively review and evaluate existing and potential new cross walk locations on city streets.  In addition, two critical areas are recommended for more detailed planning of modal integration.  These include a Downtown Subarea Study and TH 3/TH 19 Subarea Study.
