HomeMy WebLinkAboutPROSPECT STATION - PDP - PDP130004 - SUBMITTAL DOCUMENTS - ROUND 1 - TRAFFIC STUDYI. INTRODUCTION
This Transportation Impact Study (TIS) addresses the capacity, geometric, and
control requirements for the proposed Prospect Station. The proposed Prospect Station
site is located along the south side of Prospect Road just west of the railroad tracks in Fort
Collins, Colorado.
During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the project
planning consultant (TB Group), the project architect (R4 Architects), the project civil
engineer (Interwest Consulting Group), and the City of Fort Collins Traffic Engineer. 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). Scoping
discussions were held with the Fort Collins Traffic Engineering staff. 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
