SUBJECT: 401 West Mountain transportation study
(File: 9842ME02)
The 401 West Mountain building will be a three story mixed use
building with commercial uses on the ground floor, office uses on the
second floor, and residential uses on the third floor. Table 1 shows
the trip generation for the proposed uses in this building. The peak
hour trip generation will be less than 50 trip ends with no
consideration of reductions due to the types of uses and the
location. In my judgment, a good portion of the restaurant vehicle
trip ends will be passby. Based upon the estimated trip generation,
this development will not significantly impact the adjacent Mountain/
Meldrum intersection.
The sidewalk system in this area is complete. The site plan
indicates that the adjacent sidewalks will be enhanced with special
features and street furniture. The corner will have a pedestrian
bulb, which will reduce the crossing time and distance for both West
Mountain Avenue and Meldrum Street.
There are existing bike lanes on West Mountain Avenue, which
will provide a direct connection to the north/south bike lanes on
Mason Street and Howes Street. Meldrum Street is classified as a
local street, which can safely accommodate bicycles with no
additional bike lanes.
There is existing transit service on LaPorte Avenue, one block
to the north; on Howes Street, one block to the east; and Mason
Street, two blocks to the east. This building is well served by
Transfort.
This building is a classic multi -use, in -fill development that
fits the "Downtown Civic Center Master Plan." It does and will meet
all the transportation level of service criteria.
