Sidewalk does exist on the north side of Harmony Road - adjacent to the Harmony Center Marketplace. However, the intersection of Harmony Road and Wheaton Drive is not particularly pedestrian friendly. This is a three-quarter movement intersection with the STOP -control on Wheaton Drive. If pedestrians from the Harmony Center Marketplace desired to walk to the Comfort Suites, etc., they could cross at the Harmony/McMurry intersection but would have to walk on the south side of Harmony which does not have sidewalks. Within the Harmony Center Marketplace, good pedestrian amenities exist. Pedestrians can comfortably walk to and from each of the individual land uses. Bicycle Analysis "On -Street Bicycle Lanes" exist on Harmony Road, Wheaton Drive, McMurry Avenue, Monte Carlo Drive that would provide access to/from the Harmony Center Marketplace to any of the destination areas outlined above. Transit Analysis The ease of using transit to access the proposed project was reviewed. According to City of Fort Collins staff, there is existing, limited peak hour transit service on Harmony Road. With the development of the proposed gasoline/service station, a bus shelter will be constructed on the existing transit pad located on the north side of Harmony Road on the west side of the existing right-in/right-out access point. To summarize, because the proposed gasoline/service station is located on one of the internal pads within the Harmony Center Marketplace, the pedestrian and bicycle amenities have already been constructed. This gasoline/service station will not have an impact on the existing amenities. This lot is easily accessible from within the Harmony Center Marketplace and from the destination areas outlined above. In addition, a bus shelter will be constructed on the existing transit pad on the north side of Harmony Road with the development of this gasoline/service station. believe that this letter addresses both the trip generation adjustments and the alternative modes analysis for the City of Fort Collins. If you have any other questions, please feel free to call me. Sincerely, Ann T. Bowers, P.E. Transportation Engineer enc. Ms. Peggy Friesen June 6, 2000 Galloway, Romero & Associates Page 3 The analysis determined the existing Pedestrian LOS for each destination area by looking at directness, continuity, street crossings, visual interest & amenities, and security. The Enclave single-family residential development is located just north of Monte Carlo Drive, on the north side of the Harmony Center Marketplace. There is very good pedestrian connectivity and continuity between the Harmony Center Marketplace and the Enclave development. There are sidewalks on both sides of Monte Carlo Drive. In addition, there are safe, well signed, raised crosswalks across Monte Carlo Drive from the site to the north side of Monte Carlo Drive. The raised crosswalks are located at Iva and Monaco Place. The RockBridge multi -family residential development, located on the west side of Wheaton Drive can be accessed easily from the Harmony Center Marketplace. Continuous sidewalks exist on both sides of Wheaton Drive from Harmony Road north for at least 1/2 mile. Crosswalks do not exist at the intersection of Wheaton Drive/Harmony Center Access/RockBridge Access. However, there is good visibility for both the pedestrians and the motorists so that pedestrian crossings could be made safely. V Knuse Elementary School is located northeast of the Harmony Center Marketplace, on the northeast corner of McMurry Avenue and Monte Carlo Drive. Continuos sidewalk exists on the west side of McMurry Avenue from Harmony Road to north of the school. Sidewalk exists on the east side of McMurry from north of the school to the undeveloped parcel on the northeast corner of McMurry and Harmony. The school entrance is just north of the intersection of McMurry and Monte Carlo. The intersection of McMurry and Monte Carlo is a four-way STOP controlled intersection with pedestrian crosswalks on all four legs. Monte Carlo Drive, east of McMurry Avenue also has sidewalks on both sides of the roadway that stop short of Innovation Drive. The Golden Meadows Business. Park, located on the northeast:quadrant of Harmony Road and McMurry Avenue is easily accessible by pedestrians, as well. As indicated earlier, sidewalks exist on McMurry Avenue. Pedestrians can safely cross McMurry Avenue at the signalized intersection with Harmony Road. The Hampton Inn, Quiznos, Pizza Pipeline, and office development located in the southeast quadrant of Harmony and McMurry are accessible to/from the Harmony Center Marketplace relatively easily. Continuous sidewalk exists on the north side of Harmony Road. The signalized intersection of Harmony Road and McMurry Avenue has pedestrian push buttons and pedestrian crosswalks on all four legs. South of Harmony Road, McMurry Avenue has continuous sidewalk on the east side of the roadway. Sidewalk does not existing on the west side of McMurry nor on the south side of Harmony - adjacent to the cemetery.

ALTERNATE MODES ANALYSIS Pedestrian Analysis A pedestrian analysis, in accordance with the City of Fort Collins Pedestrian LOS Standards, was conducted for this project. The following, in addition to the Pedestrian LOS Worksheet, summarizes the findings of the analysis. According to The City of Fort Collins Transportation Master Plan, the Harmony Center Marketplace, including the proposed gasoline/service station, is located within a location area deemed "activity corridor/center'. The applicable minimum Level of Service for the "activity corridor/center' category is LOS B. The Harmony Center Marketplace is bounded by Monte Carlo Drive to the north, Harmony Road to the..south, Wheaton Drive totne'wesi, and McMurry Avenue on the east. The following destination areas within a quarter -mile of the proposed project site were identified. These include the Enclave residential development to the north, the Knuse Elementary School to the northeast, the Golden Meadow Business Park to the east, the RockBridge multi -family residential development to the west, the Hampton Inn, Quiznos Restaurant, and Pizza Pipeline development to the southeast, an office development south of Hampton Inn, and the Comfort Suites hotel and some retail uses to the southwest.

I. TRIP GENERATION The revised project trip generation is shown in Table 1. Table 2 illustrates the trip generation that was approved in the Traffic Impact Study for this site. As you can see from the two tables, the addition of a gasoline/service station on this site results in less traffic than the land uses assumed in the Traffic Impact Study. i not TABLE 1„ REVISED TRIP GENERATION ITE PM PEAK HOUR LAND USE SIZE CODE ADT I ENTER EXIT TOTAL Grocery 48.3 KSF 850 5,386 284 272 556 Retail 49.1 KSF 814 1,997 55 72 127 Drive -In Bank 6windows 912 1,591 42 34 76 Restaurant 5.0 KSF 832 652 33 21 54 Gasoline/Service Station 12 VFP 845 1,953 80 80 160 w/Convenience Market Day Care 6.0 KSF 565 476 37 42 79 TOTAL 12,055 531 521 1,052 KSF: 1000' Gross Floor Area, VFP: Vehicle Fueling Positions
