The.exiting site peak hour (10:00 - 11:00 P.M.) is considered insignificant given the'small;.amount.of traffic on College Avenue at that, time.,: T.o.visually assess the significance of site generated°::traffic,.', e,AsFigurshown, site traffic will , ifor.' the most -,part, use College travelling north/south through the !Hick-' ory/Conifer and Vine intersections. Site traffic,turning'.at these;intersections will largely be limited to some 20 right.:.;: turns from Vine to College. The opposite movement (left:'turn I from southbound.College to..Vine) is expected during the 10:00- 11:00 P.M-. time frame. Given the limited amount of traffic using, College.,(830 + vehicles from 7:00 - 8:00 P.M. and 370�,+..vehicles from'10:00 11:00 P.M.) and the available geometry. 0 through „ Ianes'each direction), a noticeable decline in operating.00ndi tions is -not expected. Driveway',conditions were also evaluated with the Bingo Parlor'.. operational The proposed shared driveway is expected to have one+ inbound and one outbound lane. Capacity analyses at this unsignali'zed location were conducted for both the entering.and. exiting peak -hours. During the, entering peak-hour,(,7:001 8:00.. some 15 southbound•1eft turns are expected from'College:to,;';; the.Bingo Parlor.' These 15 vehicles will be opposed�by approxi m4tely.450 northbound vehicles on College., Per.the capaity u.. College Avenue currently has two through lanes in each travel direction and a shared left turn lane in the immediate area of.. the site": The posted speed limit is 40 miles per hour. SITE 'GENERATED TRAFFIC' 'As currently proposed, the Bingo Parlor will<accommodIate'some 175 patrons'per session. Sessions will be .held seven days perjweek Weekday,sessions will start at 7:30 P.M. and last some two and one=half hours. Late night sessions are also planned�.on Friday and Saturday nights starting at 11:30 P.M. Sunday night sessions:`;,,;`' are expected to start at 7:00 P.M. A typical session is expected to generate some 90'vehidles averaging slightly less than 2 patrons per vehicle. The .service'.,- area of'the Bingo Parlor will include all of Fort Collins, and, Loveland. Given the site's geographic location within the service area, some 85 percent of the vehicles arriving at and departing from the site are expected to travel from/to the south. i On'ce.at the Bingo Parlor, patrons will enter and exit the site . via'a proposed shared access (See Figure 1). This full movement access will serve both the Bingo Parlor and the property to the north which is currently vacant. Shared access agreements apparently have been executed between the Bingo Parlor and the' property -owner to the north. It should be stated that virtually all site generated traffic will occur outside the time frame associated with the highway peak -hours. Site generated traffic..,,; i has.b'een..assigned to the available roadway system and in shown on. Figure .2,. J 2 o- EUGENE .G.

Traffic, Impact of Proposed Bingo Parlor 900.N. College Avenue, Fort Collins, Colorado' • I Dear. Mr. Glassburn: As re4uested, I have investigated the traffic impacts'ass'ociated with the above referenced project. Findings of this investiga tion.'are as summarized in the following sections of this! letter.`., CURRENT,TRAFFIC CONDITIONS The City "of Fort Collins was contacted regarding current traffic volumes on College Avenue. The section of College between Vine and Conifer carries some 23,750 vehicles per day.` !' 'Directional traffic volumes were obtained, from the City for the I 7:0.0 to 8:00 P.M. and 10:00 to 11:00 P.M. periods. These time frames .represent the periods during which most of the site traffic will be.arriving/departing the Bingo Parlor.During the arrival period, approximately 450 northbound and.380 southbound vehicle's are anticipated on College. At the time that traffic will'be exiting the site, 210 northbound vehicles and '160,south7 " bound.vehicles are expected on College. " . ;I
