Printable Overview, Introduction, and Getting Started
Museum Road is a major
internal connector on the University of Florida campus serving a student
population of over 46,000 and an employee base of over 11,000. The
University of Florida is located in Gainesville, Florida, which has a
population of about 100,000. Alachua County, within which Gainesville is
located, has a population of over 200,000.
The University of
Florida plans to build a major multipurpose parking structure with
approximately 400 parking spaces adjacent to the Reitz Union student
activity center. The parking structure will have a driveway onto Reitz Union
Drive, which provides direct access to Museum Road. The facility will
generate significant traffic along Museum Road. The fact that Museum Road
has four intersections with major pedestrian, bicycle and bus traffic,
presents some interesting and unique characteristics that lend themselves to
exploring a variety of capacity analysis techniques.
