Roadw ay Projects Assumed in 2023 LOS Analysis
There are a num ber of planned roadway projects that were assum ed in the 2023 SYNCHRO model.
These projects either already have identified funding sources, are currently under construction, or are
planned for construction in the near future (m ost of the projects are from the “17-project List”, a list of
high-priority projects that the City will be undertaking the com ing years or has already constructed). The
assum ed projects are listed below:
• Ehrman W ay at Highway 99 - Although not included in the LOS assessm ent, this intersection was
included in the SYNCHRO m odel for purposes of testing the effects of this signalized
intersection on downstream intersection opera tions. The Highway 238 Environm ental,
Assessm ent included a discussion of a planned ODOT im provem ent at this location. The
assum ed im provem ent relocates the intersection to im prove the alignm ent of the east and west
approaches, and adds additional intersection capacity .
• Highway 62 Unit 1 Project - The approved Unit 1 design for the Highway 62 Project was
assum ed in the 2023 SYNCHRO m odel. The project adds capacity on Highway 62 and relocates
the northbound I-5 on- and off-ram ps to connect directly to Highway 62.
• South Medford Interchange Highland Alternative - This project will relocate the existing I-5
interchange at Barnett Road to a new roadway spanning I-5 and connecting from Garfield Street
at Highway 99 to Highland Drive at Barnett Road.
• Barnett Road at Riverside Avenue – The city of Medford is finalizing plans for capacity
improvem ents at this intersection. The proj ect will add an additional lane on the southbound
approach to this intersection to allow for two ex clusive left turn lanes. The widening will allow
the elim ination of the inefficient split phasing for the northbound and southbound approaches.
• North Phoenix Road Realignment – This project includes realignm ent of North Phoenix Road to
connect to Hillcrest Road across from Foothill Road. Access restrictions and a signal at the
realigned Cherry Lane/North Phoenix Ro ad intersection are also planned.
• Extend Columbus Avenue to Sage Road – A traffic signal is assum ed at the Colum bus
Avenue/Sage Road intersection.
• Crater Lake Avenue at McAndrews Road - This project will add a right-turn lane eastbound on
McAndrews Road and a second left turn lane northbound on Crater Lake Avenue.
• Siskiyou Boulevard at Highland Drive - Install a traffic signal or roundabout (the 2023
SYNCHRO m odel includes a signal at this location and the existing intersection geom etry).
• Poplar Drive at M cAndrews Road - Install a right-turn lane on westbound McAndrews Road.
• South Peach Street from Stewart Avenue to Garfield Street - Install left-turn lanes along Peach
Street.
• Jackson Street from Berkeley to Valley View Drive – Realign Jackson Street to im prove operating
speed and upgrade to a three-lane section.
• Holly Street from Holmes Avenue to Garfield Street – Extend Holly Street south as a three-lane
section (this project is contained in Medford’s 17-project list but was not considered in the 2023
analy sis).
