Aviation Road Corridor Study

A/GFTC and the Town of Queensbury administered a corridor study of the 0.90 mile long section of Aviation Road between Interstate 87 and Potter Road. The study area is shown to the right. This study was added to A/GFTC's annual work program at the request of the Town in response to mounting citizen concerns regarding safety and traffic conditions along the corridor. The Queensbury Union Free School District has also recently completed updating its Master Site Plan. Coordination of these two separate efforts has resulted in a package of balanced recommendations that improve access to the school campus while mitigating accident potential, traffic congestion, and barriers to bicycle and pedestrian travel.

The consultant team of Wilbur Smith Associates, The Chazen Companies, and M.J. Engineering and Land Surveying was selected to conduct the study. Preliminary data collection and an initial summary of existing conditions was completed. Public worksessions were held in July and August of 2008. Each session was well attended by the public and valuable input and opinions on the plan were given. The final Aviation Road Corridor Study was completed by Wilbur Smith Associates in September 2008. The Town of Queensbury  and A/GFTC's Policy Committee have both adopted the final study, which can be found here.
