Methodology for Determining Economic Impacts of Raised Medians: Data Collection for Additional Case Studies

The objective of this four-year resaerch effort is to develop and test a methodology to estimate the economic impact of median design. In the first year of this study, a methodology was developed and tested on one case study location in College Station, Texas. Data were collected before and during consruction along this corridor where a raised median was being installed. In this year of the study, the research team sought additional case study locations to test the methodology. After investigating several potential case study locations, the research team selected 10 sites in the following cities: McKinney, Longview, Wichita Falls, Odessa, Houston, and Port Arthur.
