TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
CENTEX HOMES ODP
REVISED MARCH 2O01
RESPONSE TO CITY COMMENTS (DATED APR. 309 2000)
Engineering Comments:
1. Analysis of Vine and Lemay does not include all of the necessary background traffic.
Updated background traffic numbers have been provided by City engineering staff,
including Wa1Mart traffic projections. This revision reflects the best available
background traffic data.
2. Geometry at Vine and Lemay is incorrect.
The westbound movement at the intersection currently has an informal right turn lane that
is not striped or officially recognized. The original analysis coded this as a lane for level
of service analysis. This revision has removed the right turn lane, and level of service
analysis at the intersection reflects a single shared left -through -right lane.
3. Analysis uses progressing factor "I " - not coordinated.
Per the traffic engineer's request, the intersection was analyzed as a pretimed,
uncoordinated signal with the optimal cycle length in this revision.
4. No neighborhood impact analysis or mitigation plan
Neighborhood concerns related to new development and increased traffic are understood
by the developer and the developer has expressed willingness to discuss specific
strategies to address resident's concerns. A formal neighborhood impact analysis was not
requested at the initial scoping meeting and was not identified in the base assumptions.
In addition, despite the residential character of Country Club Road, it is identified as a
minor arterial on the adopted Master Street Plan. Minor arterials are not typically
addressed in a neighborhood traffic impact analysis, which is used to analyze traffic
impacts on Local streets.
Transportation Planning Comments:
1. Why weren't WalMart traffic projections included in the TIS background numbers?
See above.
2. Address intersections identified as failing our APF criteria...
