Addison
Circle
Addison Texas
Addison Circle is a signature,
new urban community being developed in the heart of Dallas'
densest suburb. Aside from numerous businesses, employees, and
community patrons, this development will attract to the area,
it is anticipated that nearly 6,000 residents will be drawn
to the community. DT&A was contracted to study the effects of
a roundabout for the development. The roundabout will facilitate
a greater capacity and efficiency in the traffic flow, decrease
the impact the development will have on the town itself, and
provide a higher degree of vehicular safety. The firm assessed
the feasibility of constructing an at-grade crossing off the
Cotton Belt rail line (which will run alongside the Circle's
southern boundary) and extending Spectrum Drive, which will
soon be one of the major north/south streets bisecting Addison
Circle.
In addition, different parking
management strategies -- such as valet parking, rideshare programs,
and transit usage -- were considered as part of a shared parking
study performed by DT&A. These strategies would decrease the
parking demand for the retail, office, and cultural uses for
Addison Circle.
