I have had an opportunity to review the Traffic Impact Study (TIS) for the above -stated project dated
March 5, 1997. The TIS assumed three uses on the site:
1. Learning Center and Offices
2. Visitor Center
3. State Parks
The total average daily trip production was calculated at 875 trips/day. The peak hour traffic was
estimated at:
AM: 28 in, 23 out
PM: 45 in, 48 out
The study also conservatively estimated that 55% of the trips would be headed west into Fort Collins to
visit other attractions.
Level of service analysis was also conducted and concluded that the access off of Prospect would operate
under acceptable levels with stop sign control.
Additionally, there would not be enough traffic generated by the site to warrant a traffic signal and the
500' spacing is not appropriate for a rural condition.
With this in mind, the city would not be inclined to install a traffic signal at the access location.
Please let me know if you require additional information.
