This memorandum addresses two specific concerns:
( 1 ) impact on Boardwalk if Oakridge Drive is completed
from the Phase 1 line to Lemay ; and ( 2) utilizing
Whalers Way as a short-cut to the Pace store from
s.outhbound Lemay.
1 . Fort Col l ins Staff expressed concern about the
impacts on Boardwalk , particularly north of Harmony , if
Oakridge Drive is completed from Lemay Avenue to the
Phase 1 line ( service access for Pace ) . Completion of
Oakridge Drive in the Phase 1 development (Pace only)
wi l l have no affect on the amount of traffic that wi l l
u t i 1 i ze Boardwalk north of Harmony . There w i l l ,
however , be a modest reduction of traffic that wi 1 1
utilize Boardwalk south of Harmony . If the Oakridge
Drive connection is made to Lemay Avenue , 10% of the
generated trips from Lemay, south of Harmony , will
likely utilize this portion of Oakridge Drive since it
'..' ill significantly shorten their trip . It also
Q eliminates their having to use Harmony Road. A small
portion of the trips from/to Lemay north of Harmony and
from/to Harmony east of Lemay may also utilize Oakridge
ui w Drive to access the Pace store . However , I bel ieve that
- J this will be an extremely small portion of these
n' atrons. , and in fact , they will likely find that
• utilizing Oakridge Drive actually increases their travel
= o distance and time to the Pace store .
J c
w m In my judgment , completion of Oakridge Drive from
o Lemay Avenue to Boardwalk wi l l not have a significant
impact on traffic accessing the Pace store . Both the
• Q -
Harmony/Lemay and Harmony/Boardwalk signalized
• intersections will operate at level of service B or
better during the peak hours . Completion of this link
= c wi 1 1 not change the expected level of service
categories. . Completion of Oakridge Drive would be more
F-- appropriate when stores to the east of the Pace store
ct
2E are opened.

2 . Concern was expressed by the L.andi nQs
Neighborhood group that patrons destined for the Pace
store from north of Warren Lake utilizing Lemay Avenue
will use Whalers Way as a short-rut to get to Boardwalk .
This will not 1 i ke l y occur because utilizing Lemay to
Harmony to Boardwalk ( vice versa for the exiting trip )
wi 1 1 be considerably faster . The entering trips wj 1 l
approach Harmony on Lemay making a right turn . If the
Lemay approach has a red s i gnal , that vehicle has the
abi 1 i ty to make a right-turn-on-red . This is enhanced
because of the location of a right-turn acceleration
lane on Harmony . The vehicle wi 1 1 proceed on Harmony to
Boardwalk to make the left turn to enter Boardwalk . The
Harmony/Boardwalk intersection wi l l be si gna.l i zed and
this left turn will be controlled by either a left-turn
arrow ( if warranted) and/or a green bal 1 . Si nce Harmony
Road is an arterial street , it will have significantly
more green time allocated to it compared to Boardwalk .
Therefore , delays for the trip described above should be
minimal .
On the other hand, if the same trips were to
u t i 1 i ze Whalers Way a.s a perceived _short-cut , they would
be confronted v.iith a left turn at a stop sign controlled
intersection at Boardwalk . The left-turn maneuver from
a stop sign controlled intersection is considered to be
the most time consuming movement , since the vehicle is
total 1 y at the mercy of the traffic volumes on the ma.tjor.
street , which in this case is Boardwalk . Once entering
Boardwalk , the vehicle wi 1 1 proceed to Harmony Road
which will be signalized . It is likely that the vehicle
wi l l be confronted with a red signal since most of the
green time for th i = signal must be allocated to Harmony
Road due to its classification , traffic volumes , and the
need to establish a good progression pattern on Harmony
Road .
The reverse trip ( exiting the Face store ) will also
be confronted with the same route choices . The driver
wi 1 1 find that utilizing Harmony Road wi l l be faster for
all of the same reasons .
It i my conclusion that there will be no time
savings using Whalers Way rather than Harmony Road .
Further , there will be no time savings using Lemay to
Oa.kr i dqe to Board!'•jal k ( if Oakr i dge were completed)
rather than Harmony Road as described above .
