Madison County is developing its first complete Thoroughfare Plan. A thoroughfare plan identifies priorities to improve the existing road network and to accommodate future travel demands based on population and employment projections. Unlike a traffic study, which is intended to address immediate traffic concerns, thoroughfare plans address short, medium, and long-term transportation issues. The purpose of the Madison County Thoroughfare Plan is to evaluate existing conditions, establish a clear vision and goals for the future, and identify recommendations that translate the vision and goals into actionable projects and initiatives throughout the County.
