<br />
<br />As per your request, T. have reviewed the proposed site development plan for the above
<br />referenced project located near 10th Strl?et ano 9th'A venue.- ' :
<br />
<br />J, ..
<br />"', ......". ;.,:.-~. '\
<br />'. '
<br />
<br />Traffic Projections: The trip generation rate supplied by the developer was compared
<br />with available Institute ,of Transporation Engineers CITE) and Metro _Colmcil data, both
<br />. of, which are .on file in this office.' I conCill with the .rate as shOWD; however, I feel
<br />the projection from the' residential' area may be slightly conservative. I have used the
<br />develQper's figures in reviewing }:11e capacity impact.
<br />, , ,
<br />
<br />Traffic V olD;rne 81!~CaPa.city:' T,he existing average daily traffic on this section of
<br />10th Street was, f.neasured at .8900 in 1983.. Adding the total trip generation to the
<br />existing traffic would indicate the' .worst case 'situati"on of approximately 11,200
<br />vechicles/day. &.sed on ITE information and commonly accepted assumptions, these
<br />volumes would'still provide a level of.Service B for this segment of road. This is well
<br />WIthin the capacity limits of the route.' A level of service D volum e, which is considered
<br />capacity, is 20,000 vechicles/day.
<br />
<br />Traffic Signals: Based on the above information, I do not foresee a need for traffic
<br />sigi1al construction as a result of this development. The intersection of, 8th and 10th
<br />may necessitate signalization prior to that of 9A should intersecti on volum es increase
<br />another 2000 :t beyond that whi~h is projected due to the Wafer Ridge Plaza development.
<br />
<br />Entrance Location: All ~ntrance construction will require a permit from this office.
<br />Consideration should be given to:
<br />
<br />'A. Moving the east entrance as far west as possible or moving it east to
<br />align with 8th A venue; and
<br />
<br />B. reconsidering the center entrance so it will serve as a focus to all parts
<br />of the oovelopm ent; and
<br />
<br />C. when the development is complete, left turns will be, restricted fo: east
<br />to north botmd traffic using the far west. 'drive.
