excess capacity, especially during the non -peak times when
school traffic is at its highest, it is concluded that from
a motor vehicle perspective, the key intersections in the
vicinity of the proposed Core School will operate acceptably.
Both Corbett Drive and Timberwood Drive are classified
as 2 lane collectors. While bicycle lanes do not currently
exist, they can easily be striped on these streets. There is
adequate width for bike lanes. Appendix A provides a Bicycle
LOS Worksheet for the Care School. The destinations used in
this analysis were the residential area to the southeast (Wild
Wood) and the existing bike lanes on Harmony Road. With the
striping of bike lanes an Corbett Drive and Timberwood Drive,
acceptable bicycle level of service will be achieved.
There are sidewalks on the west side of Corbett Drive and
on both sides on Timberwood Drive, adjacent to existing
development. Sidewalks will be built adjacent to the school
site. As other properties in the area develop, the sidewalk
system will be completed. A Pedestrian LOS Worksheet is
provided in Appendix B. The Wild Wood residential area is the
nearest location that would produce pedestrian trips to the
Core School. With the additions to the sidewalk system,
acceptable pedestrian level of service will be achieved.
Currently, this area is not served by Transfort.
However, in the future, Harmony Road will be an "enhanced
transit travel corridor" according to the 2015 Transit System
map.
It is concluded that the motor vehicle, bicycle, and
pedestrian level of service, as it relates to the Core School,
will be acceptable.

It is proposed that the Core School be located at the SE

Campus, which is located west of Corbett Drive near Preston

Junior High School. The Core School is currently located in

intersection. The Core School draws students from all over

the school district. At the current location, school starts
at 8:30 AM and ends at 3:00 PM. It is primarily a walk-in or
a.
drive-in school. However, at the proposed iocati.on, some bus

transportation is expected in the future.

A "Traffic Impact and Access Analysis of the Southeast
School Campus" (June 12, 1992) was prepared. In that study,
the building that would be used for the Core School was
analyzed as an elementary school. Trip Generation, 5th
Edition, ITE, supplemented by data from Johnson Elementary
School, were used to forecast the peak hour travel. That
study forecasted 590 daily trip ends, 178 morning peak hour
trip ends, and 168 afternoon peak hour trip ends. Without
school bus usage, the Core School is forecasted to introduce
approximately 300 vehicles to the school twice a day. There

peak hour. One or two school buses are expected to eventually

the Core School at this location. This will reduce the
number of private vehicles by 40 to 80 twice a day.

Clearly, the number of peak hour vehicles accessing the
tLf

proposed Core School will be higher than that forecasted in
Q
the cited study. However, there are a number of
considerations regarding school traffic. The morning activity
a
at the school begins as the peak hour traffic on the street
asystem
is waning. The afternoon activity at the school is in
¢
mid afternoon, which is about 1.5 hours prior to the peak hour
Ul
on the street. Much of the private vehicles will be entering
_
and leaving via the Harmony/Corbett intersection, which is
signalized. This signal will provide a safe, efficient means
of ingress to and egress from the Core School. This
Q
intersection is forecasted to operate acceptably, as
demonstrated in the "Preston Center at Wild Wood Site Access
Study," November 1995. This intersection will have much
