Transportation Analysis. Transportation in the area is largely car-dependent, but the success of towns and villages relies on walkability and ease of mobility. Alta Planning + Design will examine transportation opportunities from the perspective of all modes of travel. Speeds and volumes on existing thoroughfares will be studied to better understand the community character and transportation needs.
Transportation Analysis. 5.7.1 Prepare a transportation analysis including 4606 road re-route as a connected action or as part of the proposed action. Transportation analysis to include mileage of road that would be removed, added, or realigned from the FS road system as well as any traffic impacts.
Transportation Analysis. A2.10-1 Growth Scenario Evaluation Multimodal level of service (LOS) shall be performed for existing conditions and near-term: 2025 and long-term: 2040 for the No Build (without lane elimination) and Build (with lane elimination) alternatives for the growth scenarios determined in Task A2.09-2A. The Consultant shall perform a weekday AM and PM peak hour operational evaluation based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2010 procedures using the ARTPLAN 2012 analysis tool. The traffic factors, Standard K (hourly design), D (directional design), T (truck factor), peak hour truck percentage, and PHF (peak hour factor), will be identified for each analysis year by the Consultant. Based on the results of the analysis, a summary of Multimodal Quality of Service shall be prepared to document the existing and future corridor operations as a series of figures and tables to be incorporated into subsequent project documentation. This will include an aggregate discussion summarizing the overall operational performance within the context of a Complete Streets approach. Elements considered as part of this evaluation include the automobile LOS results as they apply to intersections and roadway links, as well as Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Transit LOS. The Consultant shall qualitatively assess the potential future needs and performance of the corridor for all modes, including pedestrian, bicycling, and transit travel. This will be based upon the ARTPLAN results and an understanding on transit ridership trends, planned and programmed future transit investments, and anticipated growth on land uses that generate pedestrian and bicycling movements along the corridor.
Transportation Analysis. ▪ We will describe study intersections, which are assumed to be: 00xx Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, 22nd Avenue/East 15th Street, 22nd Avenue/International Boulevard, 22nd Avenue/East 12th Street, 23nd Avenue/Foothill Boulevard, 23nd Avenue/East 00xx Xxxxxx, 00xx Xxxxxx/Xxxxxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxx, and 00xx Xxxxxx/Xxxx 00xx Xxxxxx. ▪ We will use the latest available weekday traffic counts conducted at the eight study intersections between 7:00-9:00 AM and 3:00-6:00 PM. Any counts conducted during the Covid-19 pandemic will be adjusted to reflect pre-pandemic levels when nearby schools are in session. Adjustments will be based on pre-pandemic traffic levels for nearby roadways and intersections. Additional traffic counts will be collected at the study intersections, as appropriate. ▪ We will compile intersection traffic count data and prepare maps illustrating the counts. ▪ We will estimate intersection service levels based on methodologies from the Highway Capacity Manual and using Synchro software. We will estimate each intersection’s current level of service, volume-to-capacity ratio, and average motorist delay. ▪ We will estimate the project’s potential vehicle trip generation based on rates from the Institute of Transportation Engineer’s (ITE) Trip Generation Manual. ▪ We will estimate the project’s potential transit, bicycle, and walking trips based on the City of Oakland’s Transportation Impact Review Guidelines (TIRG). ▪ We will estimate vehicle trip distribution patterns based on predicted student and faculty/staff trip origins. ▪ We will include maps depicting estimated vehicle trip distribution patterns and assigned project vehicle trips at study intersections. Maps will be prepared for project only trips and for existing plus project trips. ▪ We will estimate existing plus project intersection service levels based on methodologies from the Highway Capacity Manual and using Synchro software. We will estimate each intersection’s level of service, volume-to-capacity ratio, and average motorist delay. ▪ We will determine the project’s compliance with ACTC’s Congestion Management Program (CMP). It is assumed that the project would generate fewer than 100 vehicle trips during the weekday PM peak hour and thus a CMP compliance analysis would not be expected. If it is estimated that the project would generate 100 or more vehicle trips, a CMP compliance analysis would be prepared for an addition fee. ▪ We will conduct a circulation analysis for the site, focusi...
Transportation Analysis. If applicable, a transportation analysis should be prepared by the applicant, which includes the total trips generated by the project and the distribution of trips onto adjacent streets. Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) trip generation rates or another approved source shall be used for the basis for trip generations. If the number of daily trips projected to travel adjacent streets is greater than 5% of the Level of Service “C” capacity of said street, a detailed traffic analysis shall be provided.
