Multi -Modal Analysis As indicated by the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards, a transportation memorandum is appropriate if: ■ paved pedestrian facilities exist adjacent to the site or the proposed use will not generate any new pedestrian traffic; and ■ paved bike lanes exist adjacent to the site or the proposed use will not generate any new bicycle traffic. The memorandum also needs to discuss the continuity and adequacy of pedestrian and bike facilities adjacent to the site as well as access to the most direct transit route adjacent to the site. As noted in the existing conditions, sidewalks are currently being designed by the Downtown River Project. The attached staff comment letter indicates that the City will accept cash -in -lieu of design and construction for the curb, gutter and sidewalk improvements along Linden Street. Existing bike lanes along Linden Street provide the connection to the Poudre River Trail to the north and the heart of downtown to the south. The existing bus stops in the close vicinity of the proposed development provide the best possible transit service currently available. Conclusions and Summary of Irmdiogs This study identified, documented and addressed the transportation impacts of the proposed Ice Cream shop at 410 Linden Street in downtown Fort Collins. The following conclusions can be drawn from the study_ The proposed development is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. Once constructed, the development is estimated to generate only 21 peak hour trips, of which approximately 10 will be either pass -by or mode split. New vehicular trips will be limited to 11 in the pm peak hour. This does not require a more detailed traffic iiinpact strrdy. The addition of the proposed site traffic will have a very minimal (insignificant) impact on the roadway network, with less than five additional vehicles in the peak hour along any roadway segment The fimction of nearby intersections is anticipated to be nominal. Facilities for pedestrians will be constructed with the ongoing Downtown River Project. Facilities for bicyclists and transit users exist today. Page 3 of 3 410 Linden Street Transportation Memorandum Existing Conditions The location of the proposed development is at 410 Linden Street. This is just north of Jefferson Street, south of the Poudre River in downtown Fort Collins (See Vicinity Aerial on previous page). The existing land use of the proposed site is an older home that is proposed to be converted into an Ice Cream Shop. The primary streets in the vicinity of the project are Linden Street and Willow Street. Linden Street has a functional classification of a two-lane collector. The roadway has two existing travel lanes and the posted speed is 30 mph. There are striped bike lanes on either side of the roadway that were recently added with an overlay project. Willow Street and Linden Street intersect just south of the proposed development at a four-way stop controlled intersection. Willow Street is also a two-lane collector with two existing travel lanes and striped brace lanes. The posted speed is 25 mph. Existi Pedestrian Facilities There are currently limited pedestrian facilities in the immediate vicinity of the proposed development. The Poudre River multi -modal trail is located just a few hundred feet to the north. The ongoing Downtown River Project is still identifying the streetscape components for Linden Street, and will incorporate pedestrian facilities along the development frontage and its vicinity into their design. Existing Bicycle Facilities Linden Street serves as a Fort Collins Bikeway and there are striped bicycle lanes on both sides of the roadway along the frontage of the development. They connect directly to the Poudre River Bice Trail. Existing Transit Facilities Transfort, the City's transit service provides service along Linden (northbound). The route is Route 8 with 30 minute headways during the day. The closest bus stop to the proposed development is within one -block. Proposed Development and Trip Generation The proposed Ice Cream Shop will be located in an existing home with 2100 sf of living area. It is conservatively anticipated that no more than % the existing space (1050 sf) will be devoted to the shop. Access to the shop will be via Linden Street. As agreed to during the scoping meeting (Base Assumption Sheet attached), the Institute of Transportation Engineers (iI"E) Trip Generation Manual, '71h Edition, will be used to determine anticipated trips for the development. The land use code 933 — Fast Food Restaurant without Drive Through Window, Table 3 — Donut and Ice Cream Shop will be used. The table indices that per 1,000 sf of area a trip generation rate of 20.00 can be expected during the weekday pm peak hour of adjacent street traffic. This results in a peak hour generation of 21 total trips (1050 sf / 1000 sf *20). This is very nominal. It is anticipated that a number of the peak hour trips generated by the Ice Cream shop will be passby trips from the adjacent restaurant, or mode-spld trips from bicyclists along the Poudre Trail. As agreed to in the soopmg meeting, a 50•/o pass -by / mode split percentage can be assumed. This results in a reduction of 10 trips in the total new vehicular site traffic. Therefore, the additional vehicular traffic due to the proposed Ice Cream shop is 11 trips in the peak lour.
