Memorandum
FROM: Eric L. Bracke, P.E., P.T.O.E
DATE: November 18,2012
SUBJECT: Mason and Mulberry - Transportation Impact Memorandum
This memorandum addresses the transportation impacts of the proposed development
located at 203 West Mulberry Street in Fort Collins, Colorado. The project is located on
the southwest comer of Mulberry and Mason Street and is a redevelopment of an existing
used car sales lot. The project consists of a 5-story residential building, underground
parking, and 1500 square feet of flex commercial space. The project integrates the new
MAX Bus Rapid Transit system currently being implemented by the City. A vicinity map
of the location is displayed in Figure 1 on the following page.
A scoping form was sent to the City Traffic Operations Engineer to determine the scope of
the transportation impact study. It was agreed that the project will have relatively minor (if
any) impact to the surrounding street system and that an expanded memorandum would be
sufficient to address the related transportation impacts. Capacity analyses would be
required for the key intersection and special attention should be given to parking and
maneuverability of large vehicles. The scoping form for the transportation study can be
found in Appendix A.
Existing Conditions
The site is located directly between the downtown
of Fort Collins and Colorado State University.
The immediate area is commercial with
residential development towards the west. The
site was previously being used for auto sales.

Mulberry Street is a 4-lane arterial east-west roadway that runs the width of the City. The
current speed limit is 35 mph and the pavement is in fair condition. There are 4 travel
lanes and auxiliary left turn lanes at the intersection with Mason Street.
Mason Street is a unique roadway. The
Burlington Railroad line runs down the
center of the roadway and has been
recently modified from a one-way
northbound to two-way traffic. The
conversion from one-way to a two way
street is part of the MAX BRT project.
The northbound section has a 22-foot
section consisting of combination
bike/park lane and an l l-foot travel lane.
The southbound section has an 8-foot
parking lane, 6-foot bike lane and a 12-

foot travel lane. The southbound section of Mason Street is adjacent to the site. The
roadway has a posted 25 mph speed limit.
The intersection of Mason and Mulberry
is controlled with a 4-phase traffic signal.
Pedestrian phases are included and
visible, enhanced crosswalks and ADA
ramps are in place, and auxiliary left turn
lanes are included on all approaches.
Peak hour turning movements were conducted at the key intersections surrounding the
project site. The results of those counts are shown in Figure 2.

In April, 2012, the City Transportation Department counted the intersection of Mason and
Mulberry just prior to the roadway being converted to a two-way street. Reviewing those
counts indicate that people have not adjusted to the new pattern of travel either due to
confusion or construction activities along the corridor and the northbound movement had
decreased significantly since ApriL Discussion with the Traffic Operations Engineer prior
to beginning this study indicated that a 2% adjustment may be necessary. After reviewing
the raw data, it is apparent that the 2% is not significant enough. The City's count sheets
are found in Appendix B. Figure 3 below represents the adjusted traffic at the key
intersection and will present a more realistic foundation for the analysis.

Capacity analyses were performed at the key intersections to determine if existing
deficiencies exist on the roadway network. The analyses followed the procedures of the
Highway Capacity Manual. Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative term describing
operating conditions and expressed in terms of delay. Table 1 below provides the

results of the analyses. The raw count sheets can be found in Appendix B and the
worksheets from the analyses can be found in Appendix C.

Project
The project is located at 203 W. Mulberry on the southwest comer of Mulberry and Mason
Streets in downtown Fort Collins. The project will utilize a site that had previously been
used for used auto sales to and construct a 5-story building that will contain 65 apartment
units (approximately 100 bedrooms) and 1500 square feet of retail space on the ground
floor. It is unknown at this time what type of retail will be on the site. The project will
gain access off of Mason Street into an underground parking facility and the access will
function as a right-inlright-out. The project is considered a Transit Oriented Development
(TaD) and there will be a MAX BRT stop located directly adjacent to the site. The site
plan is provided below in Figure 4.

Trip Generation
Trip generation rates for the proposed project are based on the Trip Generation, cjh Edition
manual prepared by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. The manual presents data
from numerous trip generation studies for a variety of land uses from across the country.
ITE Code 220, Apartments, and ITE Code 859, Specialty RetaiL Since the project is a
TOD, a trip reduction rate of20% has been assumed.
Table 1 below summarizes the proposed trip generation for the project. For the entire
project, during the morning peak hour, 33 trip ends can be expected and 41 trip ends can be
expected from the project during the afternoon peak hours.

Trip Distribution and Assignment
All trips leaving the site are required to go south due to the raised curb on either side of the
RR track. All trips returning to the site are required to come from the east, west, and north.
The two main trip attractions for the site are the downtown and CSU and an even
distribution is assumed. Background traffic for the year 2015 was assumed to grow at an
even 2% for the next three years. Project traffic was then added to the background traffic
for the 2015 total traffic analysis. Figure 5 shows the assigned trips resulting from the
project and Figure 6 displays the total traffic projected for the year 2015.

Capacity Analysis
Capacity analysis was performed on the Year 2015 build-out of the project. As can be
seen in the Table 4 shown below, the project has very little impact on the traffic operations
of the key intersections. The intersection of Mulberry and Mason continue to operate at
acceptable levels of service. The eastbound left turn operates at LOS E during the AM and
PM peak hours for both the existing and build-out conditions. The LOS E is not an ideal
operation, but it is acceptable based on the standards. Worksheets can be found in
AppendixD.

Operational Issues
On-street Parking has been brought up by staff as a concern for the project. Parking is
currently not allowed on Mulberry. The project has approximately 300 feet of frontage on
Mulberry. Considering the crosswalks, clear zones, and driveways, this leaves enough
space for approximately 10 parking spaces in the current condition. The development will
need to include enough space for the BRT pick-up/drop-off area, include their driveway
and clear zones. The site will have enough space for parking approximately 5 vehicles
when the project is developed. No parking will be allowed in the BRT area.
Staff also is concerned with the narrow roadway of Mason Street and the effects on traffic
when moving vans or larger vehicles are present servicing the site. The worst case
scenario would be a moving van which would more than likely be a WB-50 type vehicle.
Mason Street, on the west side, is striped with a 12-foot travel lane, 6-foot bike lane, and
has 8-feet of parking. The WB-50 has a width of 8.5 feet and a length of 50-feet. During
the rare event when a moving van is present, parking would need to be removed for
personal automobiles and the WB-50 would encroach into the bike lane by a least 1 foot
(assuming a reasonable shy distance from the face of curb). If the moving van attempted

to use the bike lane for unloading, the effective width for a southbound travel lane would
only be 9.5-feet. Many or the residents are likely to be students and won't be using large
vehicles for moving in and out. The moving times for these residents are also predictable
and anyon-street parking can be managed. I am not of the opinion that the large vehicle
issue will be problematic.
Alternative Modes Analysis
Section 4.5.3 (B) of the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards requires that
projects undergo a level of service analysis for alternative modes of transportation. The
modes of transportation that must meet LOS standards are bicycles, and pedestrians.
Transit service LOS must also be analyzed at the time of development review. However,
transit LOS is not part of the Adequate Public Facilities test.
Pedestrian Level of Service
The project area was evaluated for compliance with the pedestrian level of service
standards. Based on Figure P-4 of the Fort Collins Pedestrian Plan, the project is located
in the Downtown/CSU District which requires the highest levels of service for pedestrians.
The site is within walking distance to numerous businesses including restaurants, retails,
employment areas and institutions.
Directness - There street and sidewalk system is a grid pattern in the area which is
typical ofthe ideal system. A person can easily go north-south or east-west without
any difficulty. Result: LOS A.
Continuity - The sidewalk system is continuous in the area and is consistent with
the sidewalks in the surrounding area for both width and state of repair. The
sidewalks in the immediate area have landscape parkways and large trees. The
project is planning on including new sidewalk in the area that meets and exceeds
the current standards. Result: LOS B
Street Crossings - The intersection of Mulberry and Mason is a signalized
intersection. Mulberry has a five lane crossing and Mason has a two lane crossing
which includes bike lanes and parking lanes. The traffic signal is illuminated, has
pedestrian indications, enhanced crosswalks, new ADA ramps, and unobstructed
views of traffic. Result: LOS B (due to 5 lanes to cross)

ELBEngineering@lpbroadband.net
10
Visual Interest and Amenity - The area is a visually appealing area and consistent
with the downtown area. The project will enhance the visual appeal along the
property. Result: LOS A
Security - A sense of security is difficult to measure and quantify. There are
numerous pedestrians in the area and the sidewalks are well used. The sidewalks
are separated from the roadway with a landscape buffer. Pedestrians can easily see
each other through clear sight lines which provides for a sense of security. Finally,
lighting in the area is consistent with City standards for roadway lighting. Result:
LOS A
Based on the above, the pedestrian LOS standards are satisfied for the project.
Bicycles Level of Service
The project was evaluated for bicycle level of service based on the Multi-Modal LOS
Guidelines. The minimum level of service on a city-wide basis is LOS C. The site is
directly connected to the north-south bike lanes of Mason Street. These bike lanes connect
to the east-west bike lanes on Laporte to the north and Laurel Street to the south. Based on
the above, the project is at LOS C for bicycles and therefore the standard is satisfied.
Transit Level of Service
The site sits directly adjacent to the MAX BRT project which is scheduled to start service
in 2014. This will be rapid transit with peak hour service between 10-20 minutes. The
project is accommodated a bus stop on the site. The site is also easy walking distance to
the downtown transfer station several blocks to the north at the intersection of
MasonlLaporte. The site also has easy access to Routes 15 and 18 of the current system.
According to the LUCASS Multimodal Level of Service Manual, transit level of service for
the City of Fort Collins is based on the routes and service levels planned for the year 2015.
However, the Manual was written in 1997 and is significantly outdated and no longer
considered valid. The transit LOS analyses are therefore based on the existing Transfort
Service and the opening of the MAX system. The analysis is based on 4 factors - hours
of weekday service, weekday frequency of service, travel time factor, and peak load factor.
The LOS standard for transit is "B" based on this site location.

Hours of Weekday Service: The project has direct access to MAX, FLEX, and
routes 15, 18, and 6. The site is also within walking distance to the downtown
transfer center and CSU transfer center and it is assumed that the site will be served
by 18 hours of service on an average weekday. The standard can be assumed to be
met.
Weekday Frequency of Service: Since the site is adjacent to an identified route of
high frequency transit service, the minimum of 15-minute service is met.
Travel Time Factor: The travel time factor is portal-to-portal travel time divided
by auto travel time (peak hour). The standard for the criteria is for the travel time
in bus to be no more than two times that of the automobile. This standard is met
for the project.

Conclusion
This memorandum documented the transportation impacts associated with the residential
and commercial project located at 203 W. Mulberry in Fort Collins, CO. Based on the
analyses, investigations, and findings documented in the various sections of this
Transportation Impact Study, the following can be concluded.
• The project will not present a significant impact to the surrounding roadway
system.
• The project is considered a TOD and is situated well for transit service.
• All key intersections operate at acceptable levels of service.
• The project is expected to produce approximately 397 daily vehicular trips. During
the morning peak hour, 33 trip ends can be expected and 41 trip ends can be
expected from the project during the afternoon peak hours. It is likely that the trips
estimated in this report are conservative and more than 20% of the trips will be
conducted through active modes.
• A large vehicle on Mason servicing the site could have impacts to both bikes and
motor vehicles if not managed properly.
• The key intersection is not negatively impacted by the development and will
continue to operate at acceptable levels of service.
• Bicycle LOS standards are satisfied
• Pedestrian LOS standards are satisfied
• Transit LOS standards are satisfied.
Statement of Adequacy: The transportation facilities will be adequate and available to
serve this development as contained in the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards.
All applicable LOS standards will be met since all transportation facilities are in place or
will be in place upon issuance of a certificate of occupancy.
