ROADMAP DEMO

REQUIREMENTS

• ALL closures on Expressways and Arterials will
• require a ROADMAP permit
• the concept of a blanket permit will be
  redefined

31
TYPES OF CLOSURES

• Planned Work (Capital Program)
• Operations and Maintenance
• Emergency

32
CAPITAL WORKS

• Long term, large scale projects
• Maximum flexibility to adjust work schedules
• Greatest opportunity for conflict resolution
• Main Focus of RoadMap
• A Conflict Free Capital Works Program Reduced
  Frustration, Greater Cooperation and Less Last
  Minute Scrambling

33
PROJECT LIFE
Capital Works Programming (CWP)
Conflict Checking (avoid overlapping projects)
YEAR 1
Conflict Checking (detailed assessment)
Design
CONTRACT AWARD
Construction
Conflict Checking (limited opportunities)
YEAR 2
34
OPERATIONS and MAINTENANCE

• Generally short term with minimal disruption
• Less flexibility to adjust work schedules
• Greater ability to coordinate with other road
• closures

35
EMERGENCY CLOSURES

• Last Minute - Public Safety Issues - Unplanned
• No flexibility in scheduling
• May be some opportunities to postpone non-
• essential operations and maintenance work on
• other routes

36
CONCLUSIONS

• ROADMAP improves our ability to manage road
• disruptions
• ROADMAP improves the accuracy and timeliness
• of information available to road users
• ROADMAP requires buy-in from all users of the
• right-of-way
