HomeMy WebLinkAboutBUCKING HORSE - APU - APU120001 - REPORTS - TRAFFIC STUDYI. INTRODUCTION
Thistransportation 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 Timberline/Drake
. intersection in fort Collins; Colorado.
During the course . of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the
owner/developer (Bell.isimo, Inc.), the .project engineering_, consultant (Northern
Engineering), the project planning consultant (Russell &.Mills Studios), Fort Collins Traffic
�. Engineering; and ForCollins Transportation Planning. ; The Transportation Impact Study
Base. Assumptions form and related"documents are provided`in Appendix . This study
generally conforms to the format set forth. in.the .Fort Collins TIS Guidelines in the "I:.arimer
County Urban Area Street_Standards'..(I-CUASS) =A sooping,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
