II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The location of Bucking Horse is shown in Figure 1. It is important
thorough understanding of the existing conditions be presented. p t that a
Land Use
Land uses in the area are primarily commercial or residential. There are
residential uses to the west and south of the site. There are commercial uses to the
south (Rigden Farm Commercial) and west (Timberline Commercial) of the site. The
Fort Collins Police Services Building is west of the site. The center of Fort Collins lies to
the west of the proposed Bucking Horse site.
Streets
The primary streets near the Bucking Horse site are Timberline Road, Drake
Road, Prospect Road, Katadin Drive, Nancy Gray Avenue, and Sandbar Drive. Figure
2 shows a schematic of the existing geometry at the key intersections.
Timberline Road is west of (adjacent to) the proposed Bucking Horse site. It is a
north -south street classified as a six -lane arterial on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan.
Currently, Timberline Road has a four -lane cross section. At the Timberline/Drake
intersection, Timberline Road has dual northbound left -turn lanes, a southbound left -
turn lane, two through lanes in each direction, and a northbound and southbound right -
turn lane. At the Timberline/Nancy Gray intersection, Timberline Road has a
northbound and southbound left -turn lane, two through lanes in each direction, and a
northbound and southbound right -turn lane. At the Timberline/Charles Brockman-
Katadin intersection, Timberline Road has a northbound and southbound left -turn lane,
two through lanes in each direction, and a northbound right -turn lane. At the Timberline/
Prospect intersection, Timberline Road has dual northbound and southbound left -turn
lanes, two through lanes in each direction, and a northbound right -turn lane. The right -
turn volume on the southbound approach at the Timberline/Prospect intersection
indicates the need for a right-tum lane. The Timberline/Drake, Timberline/Prospect, and
Timberline/Nancy Gray intersections have signal control. The posted speed limit on
this segment of Timberline Road is 45 mph.
Drake Road is south of (adjacent to) the proposed Bucking Horse site. It is an
east -west street classed as a four -lane arterial, west of Timberline Road and a two-
lane arterial, east of Timberline Road on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Currently,
Drake Road has a four -lane cross section. At the Timberline/Drake intersection, Drake
Road has dual eastbound left -turn lanes, a westbound left -turn lane, two through lanes
in each direction, and an eastbound right -turn lane. The right -turn volume on the
westbound approach at the Timberline/Drake intersection indicates the need for a right -
turn lane. The posted speed limit on this segment of Drake Road is 40 mph.

I. INTRODUCTION
This transportation impact study (TIS) addresses the capacity, geometric, and
control requirements for the proposed Bucking Horse development. The proposed
Bucking Horse development is located in the northeast quadrant of the Timbertine/Drake
intersection in Fort Collins, Colorado.
During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the
owner/developer (Bellisimo, Inc.), the project engineering consultant (Northern
Engineering), the project planning consultant (Russell & Mills Studios), Fort Collins Traffic
Engineering, and Fort Collins Transportation Planning. The Transportation Impact Study
Base Assumptions form and related documents are provided in Appendix A This study
generally conforms to the format set forth in the Fort Collins TIS Guidelines in the "Larimer
County Urban Area Street Standards' (LCUASS). A scoping discussion was held with the
Fort Collins Traffic Engineering staff. Due to the trip generation, this is a full transportation
impact study. The study involved the following steps:
- Collect physical, traffic, and development data;
- Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment;
- Determine peak hour traffic volumes;
- Conduct capacity and operational level of service analyses on key intersections;
- Analyze signal warrants;
- Conduct level of service evaluation of pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes of
transportation
