Waxhaw Master Transportation Plan

In a fast-growing community like Waxhaw, addressing the challenges of securing funding begins with understanding current transportation needs and how to develop recommendations based on community priorities. Since transportation planning is most effective through a collaborative approach, considering the relationships between transportation, land use, the environment, community resources, urban design and economic resiliency is vital. In tandem, empowering the public to provide community-based knowledge enhances the overall process and recommendations.

The overarching goal of Waxhaw’s Master Transportation Plan is to create a vibrant, locally-driven plan that:

• Identifies critical transportation improvements
• Creates a defensible implementation strategy
• Includes an action plan that outlines priorities, funding options and partnership needs

This Plan begins with an inventory of local projects recommended through previous plans and studies from local, regional and state sources. This task gives way to a review of performance using readily available data. Lastly, performance gaps (i.e. transportation needs) are identified to develop a prioritization process and communicate results.

Traffic Calming Policy

State law allows the Town to regulate the use of public streets along with the construction of connections into any street within the municipal limits, including the construction or reimbursement of improvements reasonably attributable to the traffic using the connection.

On January 12, 2016, the Town Board approved a Traffic Impact Analysis Ordinance, and an Access and Curb Cuts to Public Streets Ordinance in the Waxhaw Code of Ordinances. The intention of these ordinances are to protect the health, safety and welfare of the people traveling on the public ways in the Town of Waxhaw.
