MASITE Honors KCI's Harrisburg Pike Study

October 07, 2008

Harrisburg, PA

The Mid-Atlantic Section of the Institute of Transportation Engineers honored KCI’s Harrisburg Pike Transportation and Land Use Study as Project of the Year, at their annual meeting in Bedford, Pa., on October 6. 

Located in south central Pennsylvania, Harrisburg Pike is among Lancaster County’s most congested and most important roadways. KCI worked with the county to conduct a study a five-mile section of the Pike to address existing problems and proactively prepare for future capacity needs. They also sought to break the unsustainable transportation/land use cycle of development and roadway capacity. The county firmly believes that bigger is not always better!

The study team generated an innovative series of recommendations for roadway and multi-modal improvements along with a set of design and decision making tools. Recommendations focus on traffic and access management, policy change, and partnership development. Their focus on movement, connectivity and multi-modalism netted a range of strategies that can be implemented over the next 20 years to create a corridor where people, not vehicles, move smarter.
