HomeMy WebLinkAboutNEW PROSPECT - PDP - 4-10 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - TRAFFIC STUDYI. INTRODUCTION
This intermediate transportation impact study (TIS) addresses the
capacity, geometric, and control requirements at and near the proposed
New Prospect Residential Development. The proposed New Prospect
Residential Development site is located south of Prospect Road and just
west of Robertson Street in Fort Collins, Colorado.
During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made
with the project developer (Verde Project Development), the project
planner (Vignette Studios), and the Fort Collins Traffic Engineering
staff. This study generally conforms to the format set forth in the
Fort Collins transportation impact study guidelines contained in the
"Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards" (LCUASS). A Base
Assumptions Form and related information are provided in Appendix A.
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.
