2. Offsite street improvements.
Timberline Road Extension
In the public comment portion of the P & Z Board Meeting,
a person said that the traffic study for Interstate Land PUD
stated that the Timberline Road Extension was needed for this
development. This is not true. Acceptable operation can be
achieved at all of the key intersections, regardless of
whether the Timberline Road Extension is completed. This
development is not dependent upon the completion of the
Timberline Road Extension.

Offsite Street Improvements

There are a number of offsite street improvements that

are recommended in the traffic study. There are recommended
improvements for the short range future (Phases I and II of
Interstate Land PUD) and the long range future (full
development of Interstate Land PUD).

In the short range future, signals will be warranted at

the Prospect/Northbound Ramps intersection, the Prospect/

Frontage Road intersection, and the Prospect/Summit View
intersection. A signal warrant study conducted by the City

indicated that the Prospect/Summit View signal is warranted

The auxiliary lanes at the Prospect/Summit View intersection

are required with the existing traffic volumes.
In the long range future, signals will be warranted at
the Prospect/Southbound Ramps intersection. Figure 2 shows
the long range geometry. It is expected that Prospect Road
will have an arterial cross section in the long range future.
