Fort Stanwix National Monument: Alternative Transportation Study - Tapa blanda

Located in the center of downtown Rome, New York, Fort Stanwix currently experiences several transportation-related issues affecting visitor access to the park and overall visitor experience. As a follow-up to a 2006 Alternative Transportation Study, the goals of this report are threefold: 1) to update the 2006 study’s existing conditions report to reflect recent changes that have occurred in and around the park, 2) to evaluate five specific areas of concern to the park, which were identified in the 2006 study, and 3) to identify opportunities to a) address these areas of concern; b) improve visitor experience at the park; and c) strengthen the park’s relationship with the city by furthering city and county goals. The five areas of concern to the park are nonmotorized trail connections, vehicular signage and wayfinding, parking, pedestrian access, and shuttle feasibility. Findings for each of these focus areas are summarized.
