CONCLUSIONS This study assessed the impacts of Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development on the short range (2005) street system in the vicinity of the proposed development. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded: The development of Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is feasible from a traffic engineering standpoint. At full development, Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development will generate approximately 330 daily trip ends, 38 morning peak hour trip ends, and 39 afternoon peak hour trip ends. Currently, the key intersections operate acceptably with current control and geometry. - In the short range (2005) future, signals will not likely be warranted at any existing stop sign control intersections. In the short range (2005) background traffic future, the key intersections will operate acceptably. In the short range, (2005) future, given full development of Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development and an increase in background traffic, the key intersections will operate acceptably. The short range (2005) geometry is shown in Figure 8. Acceptable level of service is achieved for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes based upon the measures in the multi -modal transportation guidelines. 18 Transit Level of Service ' Currently, this area is served by transit routes 1, 5, 8, 9, 14, 15, and 61 (night service). The Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is located in an area defined as "mixed -use centers and commercial ' corridors." The Downtown Transit Center is located near to the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. In the future, transit service will be improved as depicted on the Fort Collins Transit System Plan. Appendix F contains a future transit level of service worksheet. As indicated, the future level of service will be in the B category. 17 (1). To the north, east, and south of the site is the Fort Collins CBD (2) which contains commercial, office, and institutional land ' uses. Pedestrian circulation within the study area is good and the City of Fort Collins has long range plans for improvements on College Avenue and Mason Street. The Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is ' located within an area termed as a pedestrian district, which sets the level of service threshold at LOS A (with the exception of street crossings which has a threshold of LOS B) for all measured categories. ' In lieu of a Pedestrian LOS Worksheet, each pedestrian LOS category is discussed below: Directness- Due to the' location of the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development within the Fort Collins CBD, the goal of LOS A is satisfied. Continuity- There are no gaps in the sidewalk system within the study area, therefore the goal of LOS A is satisfied. ' Street All intersections have marked pedestrian crossings, Crossings- therefore the goal of LOS B is satisfied. Visual Interest All land within the study area is developed. The ' And Amenity- sidewalk system in much of this area was built with landscaping and sidewalk furniture, therefore the goal of LOS A is satisfied. ' Security- Most of the study area has good lighting levels and pedestrians are clearly visible to motorists. Since ' the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is located within the Fort Collins CBD, there is a driver expectation of the presence of pedestrians, therefore the goal of LOS A is satisfied. Bicycle Level of Service Appendix F shows a map of the area that is within 1320 feet of Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. This area, the Fort Collins CBD, is considered to be a community/neighborhood commercial center. Based upon Fort Collins bicycle LOS criteria, the level of service threshold for bicycles is LOS B. There are bicycle facilities along most required streets. There are two exceptions: Mountain Avenue between College Avenue and Howes Street; and Oak Street between College Avenue and Howes Street. There are no bike lanes in these segments due to ' on -street parking. However, there are several signs in this segment which alert the driver that bicycles share the road with motor vehicles. The Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is connected to the bike lanes on Howes Street and to the bike lanes on Oak Street west of ' Howes Street, which satisfies the LOS B criteria. 16 G`�.11 ` a *10 � ss .09 - Denotes Lane ik SHORT RANGE (2005) GEOMETRY Figure 8 15 TABLE 3 Short Range (2005) Background Peak Hour Operation m off{ q- E B B B WB B B Howes/Oak SB B B (signal) OVERALL B B Canyon/Howes EB RT A B (RT-in/RT-out) TABLE 4 Short Range (2005) Total Peak Hour Operation I -AN MI A Howes/Oak (signal) EB B B WB 13 B SB B B OVERALL B B Canyon/Howes EB RT A B -(RT-in/RT-out) Canyon/Residential Access (stop sign) WB LT/RT A A SB LT A A Canyon/Office Access (stop sign) WB LT/RT A A SB LT A A 14 N V1 N 3 0 2 O N LO !LO N 0O to O O O M 0 --m30/45 70/80 65/85 30/40 —► Oak 10/5 � 35/45 LO N O cD N 0 LO O co jam' �O 25/50 O OAS �O �'ss 61b) AM/PM Rounded to Nearest 5 Vehicles SHORT RANGE (2005) TOTAL Figure 7 PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 13 ss • AM/PM SITE GENERATED PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC 12 N m ik Figure 6 3 0 �n Ln Ln Ln N LO L CO0 co � 30/45 50/70 65/85 30/40 — 10/5 � 35/45 LO N CD � O O c0 1 15/25 • AM/PM Rounded to Nearest 5 Vehicles SHORT RANGE (2005) BACKGROUND PEAK HOUR TRAFFIC Oak 4- N Figure 5 11 Background Traffic Projections Figure 5 shows the short range (2005) background traffic projections. Background traffic projections for the short range future horizon were obtained by reviewing the NFRRTP and the Mountain Avenue Residences Transportation Impact Study. Trip Assignment Trip assignment is how the generated and distributed trips are expected to be loaded on the street system. The assigned trips are the resultant of the trip distribution process. Figure 6 shows the site generated peak hour traffic assignment. Figure 7 shows the total (site plus background) short range (2005) peak hour traffic at the key intersections. Signal Warrants ' As a matter of policy, traffic signals are not installed at any location unless warrants are met according to the Manual on Uniform ' Traffic Control Devices. Based upon the short range (2005) peak hour traffic forecasts, no signal warrants will be met for the existing stop sign controlled intersections. ' Operation Analysis ' Capacity analyses were performed at the Howes/Oak, Canyon/Howes, Canyon/Residential Access, and Canyon/Office Access intersections. The operations analyses were conducted for the short range analysis future, ' reflecting a year 2005 condition. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 5 and the existing ' geometrics, the key intersections operate in the short range (2005) background traffic future as indicated in Table 3. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix D. The key intersections ' will operate acceptably. Using the traffic volumes shown in Figure 7 and the existing geometrics, the key intersections operate in the short range (2005) ' total traffic future as indicated in Table 4. Calculation forms for these analyses are provided in Appendix E. The key intersections will operate acceptably. The short range (2005) geometry is shown in Figure ' 8, which reflects the existing geometry at the key intersections.

PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT The Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is a proposed residential/ office mixed -use development, located in the southwest quadrant of the Howes/Oak/Canyon intersection in Fort Collins. Figure 3 shows a site plan of the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. The short range analysis (Year 2005) includes development of the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development and an appropriate increase in background traffic. Since this is an intermediate level transportation impact study, a long range analysis is not required. The site plan shows two existing public accesses to the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development via two accesses to Canyon Avenue. One access will serve the residential uses of the site. This is the northern access which serves a lower level parking garage. The other access will serve the office uses of the site. As with other CBD land uses, there is also on -street parking within walking distance of the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. Trip Generation Trip generation is important in considering the impact of a development such as this upon the existing and proposed street system. Trip generation information contained in Trip Generation, 6th Edition, ITE was used to estimate trips that would be generated by the proposed/expected uses at this site. Table 2 shows the expected trip generation on a daily and peak hour basis. Since the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is located in the Fort Collins CBD, it was assumed that 150 of the trip generation would be non -motor vehicle trips (pedestrian, bicycle, etc.).

The traffic counts were obtained in January 2002. Raw count data is provided in Appendix B. Existing Operation The key intersections were evaluated using techniques provided in the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual. Using the peak hour traffic shown in Figure 2, the peak hour operation is shown in Table 1. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix C. A description of level of service for signalized and unsignalized intersections from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and a table showing the Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections) are also provided in Appendix C. The key intersections operate acceptably during both the morning and afternoon peak hours. The Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development site is in an area termed "mixed -use district." In mixed -use districts, acceptable operation at signalized intersections during the peak hours is defined as level of service E or better. At unsignalized intersections, acceptable operation is considered to be at level of service F for any approach leg for an arterial/local intersection. Pedestrian Facilities Sidewalks exist adjacent to existing developments on all area streets. There are pedestrian crosswalks and ramps at all key intersections. This site is within 1320 feet of: existing residential areas, commercial uses, and institutional uses. This site is within the Fort Collins CBD. Bicycle Facilities There are bicycle facilities along Mason Street and Howes Street. Bicycle lanes exist on Mountain Avenue, west of Meldrum Street. Oak Street has bicycle lanes west of Howes Street. Transit Facilities The study area has extensive transit service. The Downtown Transit Center is located in the northeast quadrant of the Laporte/Mason intersection, which is within 2000 feet of the site. This area is served (within 1320 feet) by transit routes 1, 5, 8, 9, 14, 15, and 61 (night service). 4 N Vine Cherry Ma le LaPorte Canyon/ Howes Mountain Mixed Use Oak Olive Ma nolia 17 a° Mulberry Myrtle C L -p 2O E N C m pCo mm C7 O J m O (0 p E m m Laurel 3 � SITE LOCATION SCALE: 1 "=1000' Figure 1 3 II. EXISTING CONDITIONS The location of the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is shown in Figure 1. It is important that a thorough understanding of the existing conditions be presented. Land Use Land uses in the area are primarily commercial, office, institutional, and residential. Since this site is within the Fort Collins Central Business District (CBD), commercial uses generally surround the site. There is a residential neighborhood to the west of this site. The center- of Fort Collins lies to the south of the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. Streets The primary streets near the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development site are Howes Street, Oak Street, and Canyon Avenue. A condition sketch of the Howes/Oak/Canyon intersection is provided in Appendix A. Howes Street is adjacent (east) to the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. It is a one-way southbound arterial street with three travel lanes, which begin at Cherry Street and terminate at Myrtle Street. Parallel on -street parking is allowed on both sides of Howes Street. This is a shared on -street parking and bicycle facility along Howes Street. The Howes/Oak intersection has signal control. The posted speed on this section of Howes Street is 25 mph. Oak Street is to the north of the Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. It is a two-lane east -west street with diagonal on -street parking allowed between Howes Street and Mason Street. Parallel on - street parking is allowed west of Howes Street. Oak Street is discontinuous at College Avenue where it becomes a plaza on the west side of College Avenue. A pedestrian signal is located at the College/Oak intersection to accommodate pedestrian flows across College Avenue. Oak Street has bike lanes west of Howes Street, while east of Howes Street no bicycle lanes exist. At the Howes/Oak intersection, Oak Street has a westbound left -turn lane and one through lane in each direction. Just west of Howes Street, there is a right -in only access which links Oak Street to Canyon Avenue. Canyon Avenue is adjacent (northwest) to the Canyon/Howes Mixed - use Development. It is a two-lane street with diagonal on -street parking allowed between Howes Street and Meldrum Street. Canyon Avenue runs diagonal (southwest to northeast) ,to all other streets in the area. Canyon Avenue is discontinuous at Howes Street. Canyon Avenue intersects Howes Street at a right-in/right-out only stop sign controlled intersection. Vehicles can enter Canyon Avenue from Oak Street by making an eastbound right turn. 2 I. INTRODUCTION ' This intermediate transportation impact study addresses the capacity, geometric, and control requirements at and near the proposed Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development. The Canyon/Howes Mixed -use Development is located in the southwest quadrant of the Howes/Oak/Canyon intersection in Fort Collins, Colorado. During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made with the project architect (Vaught*Frye Architects), the project planning consultant (VF , Ripley Associates), the Fort Collins ' Transportation Planning Staff, and the Fort Collins Traffic Engineering Staff. The Transportation Impact Study Base Assumptions form is provided in Appendix A. This intermediate transportation impact study generally conforms to the format set forth in the Fort Collins ' transportation impact study guidelines as contained in the "Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards." The study involved the following steps: - Collect physical, traffic, and development data; - Perform trip generation, trip distribution, and trip assignment; 1 - 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. 0 LIST OF FIGURES Figure Page 1.
