SUBJECT: Bella Vista Transportation Impact Study - Pedestrian Level
of Service (File: 0160ME03)
This memorandum responds to the pedestrian level of service
(LOS) for Bella Vista, related to the Windmill Condominiums as the
destination area. The Windmill Condominiums are located in the
northeast quadrant of the Stanford/Monroe intersection. The cited
TIS did not include the Windmill Condominiums in the pedestrian LOS,
analysis, since the pedestrian affinity between the Windmill
Condominiums and Bella Vista would be very small. However, staff
indicated that this did not matter and concluded that the pedestrian
LOS, namely directness, did not meet the level of service B necessary
for a "transit corridor" or "school walking area."
Figure 1 shows the location of the Windmill Condominiums and
Bella Vista. The pedestrian LOS worksheet for this analysis is
provided in Appendix A. The latest site plan shows a pedestrian
crosswalk on Stanford Road near the north portion of the Bella Vista
site. There will be "bulb -outs" on the east side of Stanford Road
which will provide a shorter crossing distance of Stanford Road. From
the northeast corner of the Stanford/Monroe intersection (a common
starting point for a pedestrian) to the Bella Vista site, the
shortest measured distance is approximately 1000 feet. This is
measured along the east side of Stanford Road, along the frontage of
the Aspen Leaf Apartments, where there is no sidewalk. The route
that currently has sidewalks would require crossing to the west side
of Stanford Road, then proceeding south to the aforementioned
pedestrian crosswalk, and then crossing Stanford Road back to the
east side to the Bella Vista site to the same point. Since Stanford
Road is approximately 60 feet wide, this route would be 1120 feet.
The directness standard is calculated by dividing the actual (A)
distance by the minimum (M) distance. For LOS B, the A/M ratio is
1.2 to 1.4. The calculated ratio for the two routes described above
is 1120/1000 or 1.12. The directness standard is determined to be
at LOS A with the pedestrian crosswalk on Stanford Road, near the
north portion of the Bella Vista site.
It is concluded that the pedestrian LOS will meet the criteria
for "transit corridor" and "school walking area."
