LAFAYETTE BOULEVARD MULTIMODAL STUDY UPDATE
Technical Advisory Committee Presentation
Study Scope
Multimodal Improvements– FRED Transit– Bike/Pedestrian– Fredericksburg Station Parking Capacity
Analysis– Intersection Improvements
Technical Data Driven– GIS– Travel Demand Modeling– Traffic Data
Phase 1: Transit (February 2019) Phase 2: Highway & Bike/Ped (June
2019)
2
Land Use
3
Study Corridor divided by Residential and Commercial
Commercial space grouped at both ends of corridor (Downtown Fredericksburg and Route 1)
Existing Transit Service
4
On corridor: F3 Connections at Lee’s Hill Center:
– C1– F2– S1– S4– S5
Connections at Train Station:– E1– E2– D1– F4– F5– VF1– VS1
Transit Access
5
Few segments have sidewalks between Willis Street and Falcon Drive
12/24 stops along the study corridor are accessible by a sidewalk
Route F3
6
23 stops– 18 directly on roadway– 3 pull off roadway– 2 serving train station
1 stop has a shelter – Lafayette @ Sheetz (only served in NB direction)

Fredericksburg Station Parking
8
724 total spaces Most lots at capacity
– A-G 100% – Gravel 45%
Fredericksburg Station Ridership
Riders home locations

Ridership Heatmap
10
Fredericksburg, Leeland Road, and Spotsylvania rider origins– Recognizes the
overlap in catchment for these three stations
Other Plans
Kenmore/Charles roundabouts Train Station bus pull-in Train Station platform extension
and walkway (quicker access to lots G and H)
Shared use path (south of Alum Spring Rd)
Lee’s Hill Transit Center
11
Existing Conditions – Key Takeaways
Lack of pedestrian connections to many bus stops
Lack of amenities at bus stops Bus stops are not paired by
direction Ridership along corridor is
among highest in FRED system
Several bus stops have high boardings but no amenities
12
Fredericksburg Station nearing parking capacity
Potential for expanded VRE feeder service
Market Analysis Transit needs
Examine different kinds of transit need in the corridor and region
Look at concentrations of transit-oriented populations, commuters, jobs, and services– Uses latest census data at the
block group level converted to FAMPO TAZs
13
Transit Oriented Populations
Seniors Young Persons (12-24) Zero-Car Households Low-Income
Households Persons with
Disabilities
14
VRE Parking Analysis
Assumes VRE expansion as outlined in 2040 Plan
Growth in VRE trips from catchment areas of Fredericksburg, LeelandRoad, and Spotsylvania Stations from the model applied to existing VRE ridership
Fredericksburg Station alone modeled, as well as Fredericksburg, Leeland Rd, and Spotsylvania combined
15
Next Steps
Develop Phase 1 Recommendations– Service Changes– Stop amenities– Other Infrastructure– Transportation Demand Management strategies
Phase 1: September 30th
Phase 2: Spring 2020
