Highway Capacity Manual. A description of level of service for signalized and
unsignalized intersections from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and a table showing
the Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections) are provided in Appendix
A. The Bucking Horse site is in an area termed "mixed use districts." . In areas termed
"mixed use districts," acceptable operation at signalized intersections during the peak
hours is defined as level of service E or better. At unsignalized intersections,
acceptable operation is considered to be at level of service F for any approach leg for
an arterial/local intersection. In such areas, it is expected that there would be
substantial delays to the minor street movements at unsignalized intersections during
the peak hours. This is considered to be normal and acceptable in urban areas.
Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 4, the key intersections operate in the
short range (2017) background traffic future as indicated in Table 2. Calculation forms for
these analyses are provided in Appendix A. It is important to note that the City of Fort
Collins will be installing southbound dual left -turn lanes at the Timberline/Drake
intersection prior to the year 2017. The current signal timing in the morning and afternoon
peak hours remained at a 110 and 120 second cycle, respectively. However, some of the
timing on various phases had to be adjusted at the various intersections to achieve
acceptable level of service. The key intersections will operate acceptably during the
morning and afternoon peak hours.
Table 3 shows the short range (2017) total morning and afternoon peak hour
operation at the key intersections. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in
Appendix B. The key intersections will operate acceptably, except for the
Timberline/Drake and Timberline/Prospect intersections. In order to achieve acceptable
operation at the Timberline/Drake intersection, a westbound right -turn lane will need to be
constructed. With this westbound right -turn lane, Table 4 shows the short range (2017)
total morning and afternoon peak hour operation at the Timberline/Drake intersection. At
the Timberline/Prospect intersection, a southbound right -turn lane will need to be
constructed in order to achieve acceptable operation. In addition to this geometric
improvement, right -turn arrows will need to be added so various right -turning movements
can get a green arrow when there are no conflicts (free right -turn -on -red). The Bucking
Horse, Filing One contributes no traffic to the southbound right -turn at the
Timberline/Prospect intersection. This geometric improvement will likely be a capital
improvement project of the City of Fort Collins in the future.
With the development of Bucking Horse, Filing One & Two, it is concluded that
the key intersections will operate acceptably with recommended geometry and control.
No additional improvements, beyond those implemented by the City and the
construction of a westbound right -turn lane at the Timberline/Drake intersection, will be
required.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Gino Campana, Bellisimo, Inc.
Ward Stanford, City of Fort Collins
FROM: Matt Delich
SUBJECT: Bucking Horse TIS Amendment —Analysis of Filing One & Filing Two
(File: 1214ME04)
This memorandum provides operational analyses of the key intersections due to
the intended phasing of the Bucking Horse Project. The scope of this exercise was
discussed with Ward Stanford, Fort Collins Traffic Operations. This memorandum
analyzes the impacts of the Bucking Horse, Filing One & Filing Two portions of the
development. This memorandum is an amendment to the "Bucking Horse
Transportation Impact Study," (TIS) March 2012. A memorandum, dated August 24,
2012, served as an amendment to the cited study for the impacts of Filing One only.
The current site plan for Bucking Horse, Filing One is shown in Figure 1 and the
current site plan for Bucking Horse, Filing Two is shown in Figure 2. Bucking Horse,
Filing One is proposed to have six phases and was analyzed in the cited Amendment
memorandum. Bucking Horse, Filing Two is proposed to have only one phase. Trip
Generation, 8th Edition, ITE was used to estimate the daily and peak hour trip
generation for Bucking Horse, Filing One & Two. The trip generation resulted in 3931
daily trip ends, 354 morning peak hour trip ends, and 440 afternoon peak hour trip ends.
The trip distribution used in the cited TIS was also used for Bucking Horse, Filing One &
Two. Figure 3 shows the Filing One & Two site generated peak hour traffic.
Background traffic projections for the short range (2017) future horizon were
obtained from the cited TIS and are shown in Figure 4. The traffic volumes generated
by the proposed Bucking Horse, Filing One & Two were added to the background traffic
volumes to produce the total traffic volume forecasts for the short range (2017) future.
Figure 5 shows the short range (2017) total peak hour traffic at the key intersections.
Operation analyses were performed at the Timberline/Drake, Timberline/Prospect,
Timberline/Nancy Gray, Timberline/Charles Brockman-Katadin, Timberline/Sandbar,
Timberline/Blackbird, Drake/Rigden, and Drake/Miles House intersections. The
operations analyses were conducted for the short range future, reflecting a year 2017
condition. The intersections were evaluated using techniques provided in the 2000
