State Road Shared-Use Path

As part of an on-call contract, HSH provided transportation planning and traffic engineering services related to the assessment of State Road between Old County Road in West Tisbury and the West Tisbury/Tisbury town line and a recommendation for incorporating an adjacent shared-use path (SUP) to the roadway. HSH recommended which side of the road is most amenable to incorporating a SUP. Recommendations were based upon existing vegetation, connections to future SUPs in the planning stages, connections to existing trails, primary habitat, number of intersecting roads and driveways, and the existing roadway layout within the ROW. The recommendation included a preferred side of road for any potential SUP and a recommended width of separation between the State Road and the SUP.
