ABSTRACT

Shared use facilities, such as complete streets, are intended to encourage transit usage, and non-motorized modes of travel while accommodating auto travel. Guidelines are readily available for the design of such facilities but little attention has been paid to supporting multi-modal travel during maintenance and reconstruction. Given the different maintenance needs this presentation explores the issues involved in accounting for the disruption (including poor access and mobility) to all modes and and the strategies for maintenance decision-making and scheduling that recognize all users. The strategies build on principles of asset management.
