INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS WORKSHEETS
FOX
TRANSPORTATION GROUP
LEVEL OF SERVICE DEFINITIONS
In rating roadway and intersection operating conditions with existing or future traffic volumes, "Levels
of Service" (LOS) A through F are used, with LOS A indicating very good operation and LOS F
indicating poor operation. Levels of service at signalized and unsignalized intersections are closely
associated with vehicle delays experienced in seconds per vehicle. More complete level of service
definitions and delay data for signal and stop sign controlled intersections are contained in the
following table for reference.
Level
Delay in seconds per vehicle (a)

Definition
Low vehicular traffic volumes; primarily free flow operations. Density is low
A
0.0 to 10.0
0.0 to 10.0
and vehicles can freely maneuver within the traffic stream. Drivers are able
to maintain their desired speeds with little or no delay.
Stable vehicular traffic volume flow with potential for some restriction of
operating speeds due to traffic conditions. Vehicle maneuvering is only
B .
10.1 to 20.0

slightly restricted. The stopped delays are not bothersome and drivers are
not subject to appreciable tension.
Stable traffic operations, however the ability for vehicles to maneuver is more
restricted by.the increase in traffic volumes. Relatively satisfactory operating
C
20.1 to 35.0
15.1 to 25.0
speeds prevail, but adverse signal coordination or longer vehicle queues
cause delays along the corridor.
Approaching unstable vehicular traffic flow where small increases in volume
could cause substantial delays. Most drivers are restricted in ability to
D
35.1 to 55.0
25.1 to 35.0
maneuver and selection of travel speeds due to congestion. Driver comfort
and convenience are low, but tolerable.
Traffic operations characterized by significant approach delays and average
travel speeds of one-half to one-third the free flow speed. Vehicular flow is
E
55.1 to 80.0
35.1 to 50.0
unstable and there is potential for stoppages of brief duration. High signal
density, extensive vehicle queuing, or corridor signal progression/timing are
the typical causes of vehicle delays at signalized corridors.
Forced vehicular traffic flow and operations with high approach delays at
F
> 80.0
> 50.0
critical intersections. Vehicle speeds are reduced substantially and
stoppages may occur for short or long periods of time because. of
downstream congestion.
(a) Delay ranges based on 2000 Highway Capacity Manual criteria.

Ft. Collins Discovery Museum Project (FH#10002) Intermediate Traffic Impact Study
11.0 CONCLUSION
The Fort Collins Discovery Museum and Science Center project is planned for the
development of approximately 42,000 square feet of museum and science center space
on a currently vacant parcel of land. The northern half of the site will never be developed
as it is designated as permanent open space. The site is located on the northeast corner
of the Cherry Street / Mason Street intersection. Forthis project, an intermediate study has
been completed to address existing and future traffic conditions within the site area per City
standards.
Because of the unique land use proposed, the site traffic characteristics were estimates
based on forecast visitors to the museum. It was estimated that the site would generate
approximately 285 daily one-way trips with 70 trips occurring during the noon peak hour
period and 15 trips occurring during the evening peak hour period. The surrounding street
network was reviewed to identify existing and future year 2015 operations. The Year 2015
traffic scenario was analyzed with and without the site generated traffic volumes to
determine future roadway capacity operations of the surrounding street network.
It was determined that the site generated traffic volumes associated with the Ft. Collins
Discovery Museum project can be served by the existing adjacent roadway network. The
adjacent street network will adequately accommodate the minimal traffic increases
associated .with the development of the land. use on site. The site development will be
served by the existing roadway system and all. intersections will continue to operate within
City level of service standards for motor vehicles.
South of the site along Cherry Street and Mason Street, missing sidewalk links exists
adjacent to parcels that are planned for development or redevelopment. With the Penny
Flats project buildout, the missing sidewalks along these roadways will be constructed. For
the museum project; a pedestrian improvement. that should be considered is the installation
of additional .pedestrian crossing improvements across Cherry Street in the eastern
crosswalk of the Cherry Street / Mason Street intersection. These improvements include
re -application of the crosswalk bars and relocation of an existing sign. This location will
serve a pedestrian traveling between the -museum and the Downtown Transit Center and
will improve the safety of crossing Cherry Street. This location also will serve the pathway
spur that connects to the Poudre River Trail.
Fox Higgins Transportation Group, LLC Page 12 March 30, 2010
Ft. Collins Discovery Museum Project (FH#10002) Intermediate Traffic Impact Study
8.2 Potential Bicycle System Improvements
As noted under potential pedestrian system improvements above, the pedestrian spine
through the Penny Flats project and the enhanced path along the east side of Mason Street
from Cherry Street to Maple Street will enhance the grid of off-street connections that could
be used by bicyclists to access the museum.
8.3 Bicycle Level of Service
A bicycle LOS evaluation was completed using procedures in the Multimodal
Transportation Level of Service Manual for both existing and future conditions in the area.
Connectivity is the primary criteria used in this process, and it has been applied to the same
five destinations identified above in the pedestrian LOS evaluation. The results of this LOS
evaluation are summarized in Table 6. It can be seen that the existing and future bicycle
system in the area exceed the minimum standards established by the City.
9.0 PUBLIC TRANSIT ACCESS
The Fort Collins, Discovery Museum and Science Center will be easily accessible by
Transfort bus service. The site is one block north of the Downtown Transit Center. The
pathway and pedestrian crossing improvements described above will improve the
pedestrian access between the museum and the transit center. While this study did not
require a transit level of service evaluation, it is clear that it is well connected to the City's
transit system and transit access will be available.
10.0 SPECIAL STUDIES
The daily traffic volume currently traveling on the section of Cherry Street west of Howes
Street exceeds the City's collector street volume thresholds. The thresholds for collector
streets is 5,000 vehicles per day. Just over 9,000 vehicles per day are traveling on this
section of Cherry Street.
Site traffic additions to the section of Cherry Street west of Howes Street are anticipated
to be minimal at less than 25 vehicles in a 24-hour period.. Any site added traffic would
account for less than 1 /4 of a percentage point to the traffic. Considering that the museum
trip generation estimates are most likely higher than will actually be generated by the site
due to bussing and carpools, the minimal traffic additions to the section of Cherry Street
west of Howes Street will not create any measurable impacts to the street section.

Ft Collins Discovery Museum Project (FH#10002) Intermediate Traffic Impact Study
7.3 Pedestrian Level of Service
A. pedestrian LOS evaluation was completed using procedures in the Multimodal
Transportation Level of Service Manual for both existing and future conditions in the area.
As noted above, the study area is in -an area defined as a Pedestrian District.
Key pedestrian destinations within the pedestrian study area that will link with the museum
include:
• Poudre Trail and Martinez Park
• The Mason Street corridor with its mix of civic buildings and the Downtown
Transit Center
• The College Avenue corridor with its mix of retail and office uses
• The residential neighborhoods to the west and southwest
• The Heritage Park area east of College Avenue
LOS criteria applied to connections in this evaluation include directness, continuity, street
crossings, visual interest and amenities, and security. The results of this LOS evaluation
are summarized in Table 4.
It was determined that current levels of service meet or exceed the minimum standards
established by the City for pedestrian districts. Pedestrians can currently access all of the
destinations from the museum using the existing system of sidewalks, pathways and
pedestrian crossings described above.
The pedestrian LOS will be further enhanced by the addition of the pedestrian system
improvements described above as the museum project is completed and adjacent parcels
continue to develop or redevelop.
8.0 BICYCLE ACCESS AND LEVEL OF SERVICE
This study has completed a bicycle LOS evaluation for bicycle access to the Fort Collins
Discovery Museum and Science Center using procedures outlined in the City of Fort Collins
Multimodal Transportation Level of Service Manual.
8.1 Existing Bicycle Facilities
The museum site is directlyserved by existing on -street bicycle lanes on both Mason Street
and Cherry Street. The site is also accessed directly by a spur from the Poudre River Trail.
These facilities. provide connectivity to the city-wide system of bicycle facilities.

A sidewalk or shared use path
connection will also likely be added to
the east side of Mason Street from
Maple Street to Cherry Street when
this vacant parcel -develops. This
connection will -replace the existing
sidewalk that is attached to the east
side of Mason .Street in this block.
This new pathway link will improve the
access from the museum to the
Downtown Transit Center for
pedestrians. .It will -also improve the
crossing of the railroad tracks in this
block for off-street bicyclists by creating a perpendicular crossing of the tracks.
• Completion of the northern half of the Penny Flats project will provide the completion
of a mid=block pedestrian connection between Cherry Street and Maple Street which.
will add to the pedestrian grid in the area. It will also add a sidewalk to the south
side of Cherry Street.
• The eastern crosswalk across Cherry

center:. It is projected that there will
be 8 to .10 pedestrians per.hourin this
crosswalk during peak museum
access times. This crosswalk also
serves the pathway spur that connects
to, the Poudre: River. Trail. It is
recommended that the crosswalk
striping be re -applied (currently badly
faded). It is also recommended that the pedestrian crossing warning sign (with
diagonal down arrow) facing eastbound traffic on Cherry Street be relocated from
the southwest comer of the intersection to the southeast corner adjacent to the
actual crosswalk (currently there is no marked crosswalk on the western leg of the
intersection across Cherry Street).

7.1 Existing Pedestrian Facilities
The museum site is located in an area that is currently well served by pedestrian facilities.
It is at the north.end of downtown Fort Collins, adjacent to Martinez Park and a trail spur
connection to the Poudre River trail system. The museum site is directly adjacent to the
intersection of N. Mason Street and Cherry Street which connects to the grid of roadways
in the area. Figure 8 illustrates a circle with a % mile radius centered on the southwest.
comer of the museum site which defines the study area for pedestrian access to the
museum.
.All roadways in the area have sidewalks (or a portion of a trail) along both sides with the
exception of the south side of Cherry Street east of Howes Street and these missing links
will be installed with adjacent development/redevelopment. The existing sidewalks were
installed over time, using previous City standards, and have varying width and landscaped
area between them and the roadway edge. These sidewalks are generally in good
condition and provide a serviceable, well connected pedestrian network.
A number of pedestrian crossings have
been. signed and marked across Cherry
Street in the area, including the east and
west crosswalks of the Mason Street /
Cherry Street intersection.. There is a
mid -block crossing of Cherry between
Mason Street and Howes Street that
includes a pedestrian refuge island.
There are pedestrian signals at the College
Avenue /- .Cherry Street intersection to
facilitate pedestrian crossings at that busy
intersection.
7.2 Potential. Pedestrian System Improvements
A number of future improvements to the pedestrian system in the area are likely with the
development or redevelopment of nearby parcels as follows:
Sidewalks will be added along the south side of Cherry Street east of Howes Street
when the adjacent parcels develop.

Ft. Collins Discovery Museum Project (FH#10002) . Intermediate Traffic Impact Study
this site, the project will tie onsite pedestrian and vehicular access. to the existing facilities
that exist adjacent to the site.
6.2 Site Circulation and Access
The site access and circulation proposed is consistent with City standards for safe ingress
and egress for all modes of transportation. The site will be served by access connections
to the existing external multi -modal system. The roadways will sufficiently serve the
projected land use traffic. Pedestrian and bicycle access to./ the site is planned via
sidewalk connections to adjacent roadways and on -street / off-street bike lanes. More
detailed discussion of alternative travel mode analysis is contained in Sections 7-9.
6.3. Year 2015-plus-Site Intersection Analysis
The projected 2015 background volumes were added to the site generated volumes and
are illustrated on Figure 7. The level of service criteria discussed in prior sections was
applied to the study area intersections to determine impacts with the addition of Year 2015-
plus-site generated volumes. The results of the LOS calculations for the intersections are
summarized in Table 1. The intersection level of service worksheets are attached in the
Appendix.
The data contained in the LOS table illustrates that all of the study area .intersections will
operate acceptably overall an&per approach. in the LOS A-D range. With the minimal site
peak hour traffic traveling on the internal street system within the .site, all internal
intersections and private access points are projected to operate well within their capacities
with little -to no vehicular delays. Vehicle queuing at the stop sign controlled approaches
average less than a vehicle length at most intersections with the exception of the
northbound left -turn movement on Mason Street at Cherry Street during the P.M. peak hour
where a 951 percentile queue of 2-3 vehicles are projected. Any vehicle queues clear
quickly with gaps created along Cherry Street from the College Avenue signal. The site
adds very little traffic (one vehicle, if that) to this movement. The overall intersection LOS
is projected to operate in the A range (very good). Thus, mitigation measures are not
warranted.
7.0 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND LEVEL OF SERVICE
This study has completed a pedestrian LOS evaluation for pedestrian access to the Fort
Collins Discovery Museum and Science Center using procedures outlined in the City of Fort
Collins Multi -modal Transportation Level of Service Manual. The museum is located,in the
Pedestrian District area defined in the City of Fort Collins Pedestrian Plan.

Ft Collins Discovery Museum Project (FH#10002) Intermediate Traffic Impact Study
5% of daily traffic will occur in the P.M. peak hour with 1/3 inbound and 2/3
outbound; equates to 5 trips in and 10 trips out in the P.M. peak hour
other peak hours are late morning and early afternoon, but these are not high
traffic periods on the adjacent roadways/intersections
Based on the above assumptions, the anticipated peak daily trip generation estimates for
the site are summarized in.Table 2 and below.
Site Trip Generation:
• 283 average daily one-way trips
70 weekday noon peak.hour one-way trips
15 weekday P.M. peak hour one-way trips
5.2. Trip Distribution
The estimated traffic volumes presented in Table 2 were distributed onto the adjacent
street network based on existing land use and traffic patterns in the City, and existing /
future traffic volumes in and around the study area, according to data contained in the
previous studies completed for the general site area. The table shows site trip distribution
estimates based on land use data and travel patterns anticipated. The site trips noted
above are seen at all the roadway sections adjacent to the site.
As part of the traffic impact study requirements, approval of trip distribution assumptions
by City engineering staff is required. Trip distribution for the site received approval in
February 2010. The City's base assumptions data sheet for this project is attached in the
Appendix for reference. The trip distribution percentages formulated for this project are
illustrated on Figure 5.
6.0 FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITH SITE DEVELOPMENT
This scenario analysis has been conducted in order to determine impacts associated with
development and occupancy of the proposed museum land use. The site generated peak
hour volumes were assigned to the adjacent street network according to the distribution
percentages and are presented on Figure 6.
6.1 Site Specific Roadway Improvements
The adjacent street and alternative transportation mode networks are developed within the
site area. The intersection of Mason Street /Cherry Street will provide primary access to
the site.. The north leg of Mason Street is builtout to its ultimate cross section. A driveway
cut exists along the north leg of Mason Street which will serve as accessio the museum.
Sidewalks exist on both sides of Mason Street adjacent to the site. With development of

background volumes to project short term capacity at the study area intersections. The
Year 2015 intersection LOS calculation worksheets are attached in the Appendix.
The intersection LOS are summarized for each location in Table 1. The data in the level
of service summary table illustrates that, with the forecast Year 2015 peak hour volumes,
the study area intersections will continue to operate acceptably in the LOS A-C range,
overall and LOS A-D for side street approaches. The intersection approaches will continue
to meet or exceed the City's motor vehicle level of service standards.
5.0 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT TRAFFIC
5.1 Trip Generation
A trip generation estimate was made to determine the traffic characteristics of the
anticipated site land use. Museum trip generation data is not available through the Institute
of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation manual'. Therefore, the proposed
museum land use traffic characteristics are based on market studies completed for the site
and discussionswith museums future operator. This study analyzes weekday noon and
P.M. peak hour traffic volumes at adjacent intersections. In order to estimate the peak hour
traffic generated: by the museum, the numberof anticipated visitors to the site were applied.
School and shuttle buses will also access the site on daily basis with an average of 2-4
passengers per vehicle experienced overall. It should be noted that the client believes the
annual visitors used in this study are conservatively high, particularly in the early years of
operation. The methodology and assumptions for the site traffic characteristics are
summarized below..
• annually = .100,000 visitors
• monthly = 8,333 visitors (12 months per year)
• peak month factor of 1.2 applied = 10,000 visitors per month
• daily = 333 visitors (monthly divided by average of 30 days month)
• 15% bike / ped / transit reduction applied = 283 average daily visitors in cars
• 2 passengers per vehicle =142 vehicles per day (client believes this is more
likely to.be 3-4 passengers per vehicle especially considering school buses)
• total trips ends (vehicle arriving and leaving the site) = 283 vehicles per day
• 25% of the daily traffic will occur in the noon peak hour with 50% arriving and
50% leaving the site during this period; equates to 35 trips in and 35 trips out
during noon peak hour

signalized : motor vehicle standards apply to the Cherry Street / College Avenue
intersection. The intersection level of service worksheets are attached in the Appendix.
The data in the table show that the study area intersections are currently operating
acceptably (LOS A-C range overall) with side street approaches in the LOS A-D range. All
of the intersections andtheir approach legs currently meet or exceed the City's motor
vehicle level of service standards.
4.0 FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WITHOUT PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT
4.1 Annual Traffic Growth Rate
The TIS guidelines require an analysis of the site traffic impacts for conditions one year
after proposed buildout and occupancy. It is anticipated that the site will be constructed
and occupied within the next 3-4 years or by 2015. The short term planning horizon for.
site -specific analysis is Year 2015.
:Based on discussions with City staff, an annual traffic growth rate of 1 % was approved.for
use in this study. In addition, traffic associated with buildout of the Penny Flats site located
south and west of the Cherry Street / Mason Street intersection is to be included in the
background traffic for .this study. The south portion .of the Penny Flats. parcel was
developed. at the time traffic counts were collected on Howes and Mason Streets.
Therefore, a portion of the Penny Flats traffic was added to the background volumes.
Based on the future volume forecast methodology discussed above, Year 2015 background
traffic volumes were projected and are illustrated on Figure 4.
The volumes assume conversion of Mason Street to two-way traffic. A slight diversion in
existing traffic will occur from the adjacent corridors with the addition of southbound traffic
flows to the Mason Streetcorridor. This diversion was considered in the background traffic
volumes for Year 2015.
4.2 Roadway.Network
The Year 2015. roadway street network is essentially the same network shown on the
existing network Figure 3 with the exception of Mason Street converted to a 2-way arterial
street from a 1-way (NB) street.
4.3 Intersection Levels of Service
Intersection level of service calculations were conducted with the Year 2015 background
peak hour traffic volumes shown on Figure 4 at the study area intersections. The LOS
methodology and assumptions discussed previously was applied to�'the Year 2015

Mason Street is. a two-lane minor arterial roadway with on -street bike lanes and attached
sidewalks. A railroad runs down the center median of the street. Currently, the street is
one-way northbound. Mason Street is in the process of being converted to two-way north -
south traffic. Intersections along this corridor are stop sign controlled within the site vicinity.
The speed limit- on this roadway is 25 mph. North of Cherry. Street, Mason Street
meanders to the northwest serving residential, recreational and other uses. The north side
of Mason Street at Cherry.Street will serve as primary access to the museum site. -
Howes Street is a two-lane minor arterial roadway with a 25 mph speed limit. On -street
parking and bike lanes exists on both sides of this roadway. Attached sidewalks are present
along this corridor.
3.3 Existing Traffic Volumes
Existing traffic count data was collected during the noon and evening peak hour periods on
a typical weekday in January 2010 for this project. The Howes Street / Cherry Street
intersection was observed during the noon peak hour only based on City requirements for
this study. Traffic volumes at the College Ave / Cherry St,intersection were collected by
the City in March 2009..The existing average weekday peak traffic volumes for the study
area intersections are illustrated on Figure 3. Existing intersection count sheets are
attached in the. Appendix for reference.
3.4 Intersection.Levels of Service
The,surrounding site access intersections were reviewed to determine baseline or existing
operations and..! --identify any: capacity constraints. In determining the operational
characteristics of an intersection, "Levels of Service" (LOS) A through F are applied, with
LOS A indicating.very good operations and LOS F indicating congested operations. The
intersection LOS is represented as a delay in seconds per vehicle for the intersection as
a whole and for critical turning movements. A more detailed discussion of LOS
methodology is contained in the Appendix for reference. Criteria contained in the Highway
Capacity Manual (HCM)' was applied to the study area intersection in order to determine
existing levels of service during peak hour periods. Existing signal timing plans for the
noon and P.M. peak hour periods at the College Ave. / Cherry St. intersections were
obtained from the City. Existing peak hour volume approach factors were applied to the
intersection scenarios for this study.
The results of the LOS calculations for the intersections are summarized in Table 1. The
