IV. CONCLUSIONS
This study assessed the impacts of the Link-N-Greens PDP site on the street
system in the vicinity of the proposed development in the short range (2015) and short
range (2018) future. As a result of this analysis, the following is concluded:
- The development of Link-N-Greens PDP is feasible from a traffic engineering
standpoint. The trip generation for Phase 1 of the Link-N-Greens PDP
development resulted in 1220 daily trip ends, 233 morning peak hour trip ends, and
227 afternoon peak hour trip ends. The trip generation for Phases 1-4 and the
commercial/retail area resulted in 6280 daily trip ends, 876 morning peak hour trip
ends, and 918 afternoon peak hour trip ends.
- The key intersections operate acceptably with the existing traffic and geometry.
- The Mulberry/Lemay, Lemay/Magnolia, Lemay/Lincoln, and Lemay/Vine
intersections are currently signalized. The other stop sign controlled intersections
will not have traffic signals in the future.
- In the short range (2015) future, given development of the Link-N-Greens PDP site
and an increase in background traffic, the key intersections will operate acceptably.
- In the short range (2018) future, given development of the Link-N-Greens PDP site
and an increase in background traffic, the key intersections will operate acceptably,
except for the Mulberry/Lemay and Lemay/Vine intersections during the afternoon
peak hour. At the Mulberry/Lemay intersection, dual southbound left-turn lanes will
achieve acceptable operation.
- The short range (2015) geometry is shown in Figure 13 and the short range (2018)
geometry is shown in Figure 14.
- Acceptable level of service is achieved for pedestrian, bicycle, and transit modes
based upon the measures in the multi-modal transportation guidelines and future
improvements to the street system in the area.
