It was determined that peak hour through traffic along Manhattan Avenue would increase at a rate of 2 percent per year. Table 3 shows the short range (2006) background peak hour operation at the key intersections. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix C. The key intersections will operate acceptably with existing control and geometry. Figure 7 shows the short range (2006) total peak hour traffic at the key intersections. Table 4 shows the short range (2006) total peak hour operation at the key intersections. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix D. The key intersections will operate acceptably during the peak hours. Figure 8 shows the short range (2006) geometry at the key intersections. Manhattan Avenue is classified as a collector street on the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Recent City of Fort Collins traffic counts indicate that there are 5700 vehicles per day south of Horsetooth Road. It is likely that traffic steadily decreases in volume to the south. Using standard peak hour versus daily traffic relationships indicate that the daily traffic front of the site is approximately 4000 vehicles. This volume falls within the range of that of a major collector street. The driveway locations to the Manhattan Townhome Project meet/exceed the minimum spacing requirements for high volume driveways and intersections on a major collector street. The turning volumes do not require either a left -turn lane or a right -turn lane at either access. The Manhattan Townhome Project site is the area within which the City requires pedestrian and bicycle level of service evaluations. Appendix E shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of the Manhattan Townhome Project site. There will be four pedestrian destinations within a quarter mile of the Manhattan Townhome Project site. These are: 1) the commercial area north of the site (Carmike Theater, AutoZone); 2) the residential neighborhood west (adjacent) of the site; 3) Lopez Elementary School and Troutman Park; and 4) the commercial areas on the west side of College Avenue. While destination area 4 is within 1320 feet of the site, it technically is not since there is a physical barrier (railroad tracks) between them. Therefore, it can be reasonably concluded that the commercial area west of College Avenue is not within 1320 feet of the Manhattan Townhome Project. This site is in area type termed "transit corridor" and "school walking area." The minimum level of service for these area types is B for all measured categories, except for visual interest which is C. As indicated on the Pedestrian LOS Worksheet, the minimum level of service is acceptable. Based upon Fort Collins bicycle LOS criteria, there are two destination areas within 1320 feet of the Manhattan Townhome Project site. These are Lopez Elementary School and Troutman Park. There are bike lanes on Manhattan Avenue, which would place the bicycle connectivity at level of service C. The bicycle LOS worksheet is provided in Appendix E. This area of Fort Collins is served by transit Route 6. Since this is an intermediate transportation impact study, the long range transit system or level of service is not relevant. Transfort Route 6 has transit stops within 1320 feet of the site. Transit level of service will be the same as that which currently exists. It is concluded that, with the Manhattan Townhome Project, the future level of service at the key intersections will be acceptable. The level of service for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes will be acceptable. MEMORANDUM PPo REG/S 00 o TO: Jon Prouty, Lagunitas Companies CO CO Cathy Mathis, VF Ripley Associates yQ i • ,n City of Fort Collins �52 J o lot FROM: Matt Delich o 4 s1& .a'�.• 0 U DATE: June 8, 2004 L • X SUBJECT: Manhattan Townhome Project transportation analyses o ti (File: 0421ME01) W W This memorandum addresses the transportation impacts of the ' o proposed Manhattan Townhome Project. The Manhattan Townhome Project > N is proposed to be located at 3638 Manhattan Avenue, just south of 0) Dennison Court in Fort Collins. The site location is shown in Figure z T 1. Currently, there are eight townhome dwelling units on this lot. Q� The Manhattan Townhome Project will consist of 30 additional townhome = rn dwelling units. The scope of this study was discussed with the Fort z Collins Traffic Operations Engineer. A brief memorandum was W o requested. There are sidewalks along developed parcels of land C0 = within 0.25 miles of the site. There are bike lanes on Manhattan �a Avenue. N N Figure 2 shows recent peak hour counts at the Manhattan/ Dennison and Manhattan/Site Access intersections. The count data was obtained in May 2004. Raw traffic data is provided in Appendix A. Table 1 shows the current peak hour operation of the key intersections. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix B. It is important to note that the Manhattan/Dennison intersection was not requested nor required to be analyzed in this traffic analysis. It is included for informational purposes only, since it is the nearest public intersection to the site. A description of level of service for unsignalized intersections from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and a table showing the Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards Uj (Intersections) are also provided in Appendix B. The key intersections operate acceptably during the peak hours. C FE Figure 3 shows the site plan for the Manhattan Townhome w Project. The Manhattan Townhome Project is proposed as 30 townhome Z dwelling units. Current access to the site is via a single driveway V Z access to Manhattan Avenue. With the construction of the Manhattan JW Townhome Project, this single driveway will be eliminated. The W 0 proposal shows two access driveways to the site, north and south of ® a the current access. Trip Generation, 7th Edition, ITE was used as a reference in calculating the trip generation. Table 2 shows the trip o generation for the Manhattan Townhome Project. a (n The trip distribution for this site is shown in Figure 4. The 301 F- trip distribution was determined using the existing traffic counts, UJ ,a knowledge of the existing and planned street system, development L) trends, and engineering judgment.
