A Methodology for Determining Economic Impacts of Raised Medians: Data Analysis on Additional Case Studies (7-3904-3)

The objective of this four-year research effort is to develop and test a methodology to estimate the economic impacts of median design. This report summarizes the activities performed in the third year of this project. The primary task in the third year of the project was to analyze the data collected in the second year of the project at 10 additional case study locations. Analysis, discussion, and conclusions are provided in this report regarding key economic variables of interest including employment trends, gross sales, and property values for these 10 case study locations.|The results of this research effort will provide insight to planners, engineers, and researchers investigating the economic impacts of raised median projects. This information is expected to be especially useful in communicating potential impacts to business and property owners prior to construction.
