<br />EXISTING TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM <br />AND PLANNED IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />the S~'ene Road and Oregon Road/CTH 0,.L\1 corridors, <br />addi tional traffic is expected on Rimrock Road. <br /> <br />\X'hile it is surrounded by transportation thoroughfares, <br />the neighborhood itself is poorly served by a highly <br />fragmented local street network. Because of these <br />poor connections, the neighborhood experiences traffic <br />cut-through, inefficient emergency service access, and <br />inefficient transit service. <br /> <br />However, Rimrock Road carries some regional traffic that <br />has been diverted from regional highways. Those driving <br />north on CSH 14 with a destination on Rimrock Road or <br />John Nolen Drive north of the Beltline will exit at ;\kCov <br />Road and will take Oregon Road and Rimrock Road to <br />avoid the USH 14/Beltline interchange. A similar pattern <br /> <br />HIGHWAY CONNECTIONS <br /> <br />\X'hile the neighborhood is adjacent to USH <br />14 and the Bel cline, it has very limi ted access <br />to these regional roads. There now exists <br />a slip lane entrance from Oregon Road <br />to northbound USH 14. However, the <br />\X'isconsin Department of Transportation <br />(\'VisDOT) intends to close this entrance <br />due to safety concerns. No specific <br />timeline for closure has been established <br />at this point, but details are anticipated to <br />be included as part of \X'isDOT studies <br />of the USH 14/12/18 interchange. <br />Neighborhood residents that now use this <br />slip lane entrance will need to travel south <br />to the McCoy Road on-ramp. <br /> <br />Further complicating neighborhood access <br />is the elimination of the southbound access <br />(southbound on-ramp and northbound <br />off-ramp) from USH 14 at McCoy Road to <br />accommodate the new Green Tech Village <br />interchange. The future Green Tech Village <br />interchange will provide full southbound <br />and northbound access. After the <br />interchange improvements, neighborhood <br />residents traveling south on USH 14 will <br />need to drive south on CTH MM to the <br />Green Tech Village interchange. <br /> <br />Rimrock Road/ CTH MM is a regional <br />roadway. The road connection between <br />Oregon Road and the Belcline provides <br />access to the Alliant Energy Center and <br />Downtown Madison to neighborhoods <br />adjacent to Syene Road and Oregon Road/ <br />CTH MrvL In 2006, the road carried over <br />8,000 vehicles per day south of j\[oorland <br />Road and over 12,000 vehicles per day <br />north of i\Ioorland Road.
