Development generated traffic on Shields Street is expected to be low. The current plan indicates that CR32 will not be connected from US287 to Shields Street. This is a variance from the Fort Collins Master Street Plan. Please call if you have questions regarding this memorandum.

Elaine's primary concern was the issue of the Victoria Estates residents regarding existing and potential cut through traffic on Victoria Drive. The citizens were c6ncerned that lining up the Shenandoah access and signalization of this intersection would increase this type of traffic. In her letter, she stated that she did not support signalization, but did support lining up streets on both sides of US287. I explained that a signal at the half mile was not reasonable c, due to Benson Lake and that signalization of the US287/Victoria intersection was not new to this ODP, but had W been in the 1994 Ridgewood Hills ODP, as well as the Del Webb plan in the early 1980's. Elaine agreed that Victoria Drive w (through Victoria Estates) would not be the route of preference once signals go in at the US287/CR32 and US287/ r5 Victoria intersections. The easier and faster route will be through signalized intersections. x aHer comment (3.) of not being in favor of the right -in/ right -out to Parcel B-6 (really B-7 in new plan) stems from a limiting direct access to state highways. !I explained that z the location was approximately 800 feet south of Victoria F Drive and Boo feet north of CR32, and that it would operate acceptably. I also told her that the right-in/right-out to Parcel B-7 would remove traffic from other intersections, thereby improving the operation at those intersections. If F this access were to be allowed, it 1would require a with/without analysis. I I i
