INTRODUCTION
Lemay Avenue Estates is a residential development located along the east side of
Lemay Avenue about midway between Trilby Road and Carpenter Road in Fort
Collins, Colorado. A vicinity map is presented on Figure 1.
This transportation impact study follows the established guidelines for such studies as
are applicable and appropriate to the proposed project. The following key steps were
undertaken as part of this study.
• Obtain current traffic and roadway data in the immediate area of the site.
• Evaluate current operations to establish base conditions.
• Determine site generated traffic volumes and distribute this traffic to the
nearby street system.
• Estimate roadway traffic volumes for future conditions.
• Evaluate operations with Lemay Avenue Estates fully developed.
• Inventory, evaluate, and assess the pedestrian, bicycle, and transit net-
works serving the site.
• Identify deficiencies and recommend measures to mitigate the impact of
site generated traffic and enhance the alternate travel mode systems as
appropriate.
Key areas of investigation are documented in the following sections of this transporta-
tion impact study.
