SUEJBCT: Hearthfire - Traffic volume or. CR54 (File: 9643MEM8)
,his meriorandum documents my analyses pertaining to future
traffic volumes on CR54 between the Hearthfire access and CR11. The
Hearthfire PUD development, as a condition of approval, is required
to design and build CR54 ;Couglas Road) from the Hearthfire access
to CR11. The City of Fort Collins is building CR11 south of CR54.
The improvement to CR54 will satisfy the condition that the
Hearthfire PUD will be connected to an improved arterial street. CR54
is classified as a minor arterial street on the Fort Zollins Master
Street Plat. As such, it will have a three lane cross section plus
a foot bike lanes. However, in order to satisfy the condition of
approval, an interim cross section will be designed and constructed
which will accom=date the expected motor vehicle traffic and provide
adequate bike lazes. The traffic forecast a53%imes a build -cut year
of 2003, and full development and occupancy :)f t:ne Hearthfire PUD.
Using recent peak hour and daily traffic counts along CR54,
year 2003 traffic forecasts were developed, a� the CR54/CRIl
intersection and at the CR54/Hearthfire Access intersection. These
traffic forecasts are shown in Figure I. As a two-lane road with at
least 4 foot bike lanes, CR54 will operate at level of service B
during both peak hours, assuming a 100E no passing condition. The
width of the bike lanes should be determined by the City of Fort
Collins. if wider bike lanes are required, the level of service will
improve within the level of service B category.
Using turning lane criteria contained in the "intersection
Channelization Design Guide," NCHRP279, TRS, no auxiliary lanes are
required at either the CRII or the tearthfire Access intersections.
Given the calculated level of service, it is expected that the
recommended cross section would accommodate the expected traffic
volumes for a number of years beyond the year 2003. If other
development occurs that contribute significant traffic to CR54, this
cross section should be reevaluated.
