1 INTRODUCTION
This report documents the results of a study to evaluate the potential traffic impacts of
the proposed Willox Farm residential project in the City of Fort Collins, Colorado. Rollins
Consult LLC conducted the study as required by the City for the application associated
with the proposed project.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Willox Farm is in the City of Fort Collins, at 700 Willox Lane. The site is south of
Willox Lane and west of College Avenue. The site is currently undeveloped land. This
Project will allow for 65 residential dwellings. The project site is comprised of
approximately 18 acres. Figure 1 illustrates the project location and study area. The
site plan is depicted on Figure 2.
The Willox Farm project proposes the following land uses and transportation elements:
• Housing for 65 single family dwellings.
• There is a connection to Willox Lane. A future connection to the property west of
the site is planned for.
• There is a planned pedestrian/bicycle trail connection to Soft Gold Park.

STUDY SCOPE
The scope of work for this study was developed with input from City staff. The scope of
the traffic impact study for the Willox Farm will present the potential traffic conditions at
the following two intersections:
• College Avenue and Willox Lane
• Project Access and Willox Lane
This study will focus on the build out of the development looking at the short range future
year of 2025. The analysis of future year traffic forecasts is based on projected
conditions both with and without the addition of the project traffic. The following
transportation scenarios were analyzed for the AM and PM peak hours:
• Existing Conditions – The analysis of existing traffic conditions provides a basis
for the remainder of the study. The existing transportation system is described.
• Project Travel Demand – The traffic generated by the project will be estimated,
distributed, and assigned to the transportation network.
• 2025 Background Conditions – Future traffic conditions are projected without
the proposed for the future year 2025. The recent traffic data will be factored
upward to account for overall growth in the study area.
• 2025 Total Future Conditions – The traffic associated with the Project will be
projected and added to the Background traffic. The intersection operations will
be determined.
The City also requested the analysis of the existing Union Pacific railroad crossing
located east of the site. This will include an evaluation of the existing conditions, a
review of any crash data at the crossing, and suggested crossing improvements.

2 EXISTING CONDITIONS
The transportation system has numerous elements that are described in this chapter.
The roadway network identified for this study is described and traffic volume information
is presented for the study intersections and Willox Lane.
ADJACENT LAND USE
North and west of the project are agricultural, rural residential, and industrial use. To the
east of the site is residential and south of the site is the Soft Gold Park.
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK
The primary roadways that serve the Project site are described below. Roadway
designations were provided in the Fort Collins Transportation Master Plan, March 31,
2020.
Roadway Network
College Avenue – This is a four-lane north-south arterial and state highway (US 287)
that serves Fort Collins and adjacent jurisdictions. There are sidewalks and bicycle
lanes on both sides of College Avenue. The speed limit is posted at 40 mph.
Transfort provides service with Routes 8 and 81. They provide service between the
Downtown Transit Center and Terry Lake Road/Poudre Valley Mobile Home Park
(north on College Avenue). There are stops at Willox Lane.
Willox Lane – This road is a two-lane east-west facility. Most of Willox Lane west of
College Avenue is an unimproved county road. Where development has occurred,
there are sidewalks (adjacent to the Revive residential development). East of College
Avenue, Willox Lane has been improved with sidewalks and bike lanes on both sides.
Near the project site, the speed limit is posted at 40 mph. This is reduced at the Union
Pacific railroad crossing to 30 mph. Willox is identified as a two-lane Arterial. There is
a narrow shoulder. Bicycles share the roadway with vehicles.
EXISTING TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
Recent intersection operations were evaluated for both the morning and evening peak
hours. Intersection count data at College Avenue and Willox Lane was collected in
September of 2021. Daily traffic counts were performed in May of 2022 just to the east
of the railroad crossing. The resulting peak hour turning movements and daily volumes
are provided on Figure 3. The data collection data is provided in Appendix A. The
current lane configurations of the study intersection are shown on Figure 4.

Intersection Level of Service Analysis Methodologies
Transportation professionals evaluate intersections to determine how they are currently
operating and will operate in the future. The methods employed can be found in the
Transportation Research Board’s, 6th Edition, 2016 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM).
Level of service (LOS) is based on a “graded” system from LOS A, very little to no
delays, to LOS F which represents excessive delays and congestion.
The City of Fort Collins has established guidelines for acceptable intersection
operations. These are provided within the Larimer County Urban Area Street Standards
(LCUASS), originally adopted January 2, 2001, with updates effective September 19,
2016. The guidelines are provided in Table 1.
Table 1
Fort Collins (GMA and City Limits)
Motor Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections)
Unsignalized Intersection
Peak hour levels of motor vehicle delay at unsignalized intersections were estimated
using the method from Chapter 17 of the 2016 Highway Capacity Manual. The LOS for
the entire intersection and each of the constrained movements are reported. Table 2
summarizes the relationship between average control delay per vehicle and LOS for
unsignalized intersections.

Signalized Intersections
Peak hour levels of motor vehicle delay at signalized intersections were estimated using
methods provided in Transportation Research Board’s 2010 Highway Capacity Manual.
This operations analysis method uses various intersection characteristics (such as traffic
volumes, lane geometry, and signal phasing) to estimate the average control delay
experienced by motorists traveling through an intersection. Control delay incorporates
delay associated with deceleration, acceleration, stopping, and moving up in the queue
Table 3 summarizes the relationship between average control delay per vehicle and
LOS for signalized intersections.

A £10.0
Free Flow or Insignificant Delays: Operations with very low
delay, when signal progression is extremely favorable and
most vehicles arrive during the green light phase. Most
vehicles do not stop at all.
B >10.0 and £20.0
Stable Operation or Minimal Delays: Generally, occurs with
good signal progression and/or short cycle lengths. More
vehicles stop than with LOS A, causing higher levels of
average delay. An occasional approach phase is fully
utilized.
C >20.0 and £35.0
Stable Operation or Acceptable Delays: Higher delays
resulting from fair signal progression and/or longer cycle
lengths. Drivers begin having to wait through more than one
red light. Most drivers feel somewhat restricted.
D >35.0 and £55.0
Approaching Unstable or Tolerable Delays: Influence of
congestion becomes more noticeable. Longer delays result
from unfavorable signal progression, long cycle lengths, or
high volume to capacity ratios. Many vehicles stop. Drivers
may have to wait through more than one red light. Queues
may develop, but dissipate rapidly, without excessive
delays.
E >55.0 and £80.0
Unstable Operation or Significant Delays: Considered to be
the limit of acceptable delay. High delays indicate poor
signal progression, long cycle lengths and high volume to
capacity ratios. Individual cycle failures are frequent
occurrences. Vehicles may wait through several signal
cycles. Long queues form upstream from intersection.
F >80.0
Forced Flow or Excessive Delays: Occurs with
oversaturation when flows exceed the intersection capacity.
Represents jammed conditions. Many cycle failures.
Queues may block upstream intersections.

3 PROJECT TRAVEL DEMAND
This chapter provides an overview of the project and a description of the travel demand
methodology to estimate vehicle trip generation, distribution, and assignment of project-
generated traffic along area roadways and intersections.
PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
The proposed Willox Farm allows for 65 single family dwellings. Figure 2 depicts the site
plan.
• Detached sidewalks will be provided throughout the site. The internal roadways
have been designed to accommodate the project traffic.
• A bicycle and pedestrian connection will be provided from the south side of the
project to Soft Gold Park.
• A street is provided on the west side of the site to connect with future
development.
PROJECT TRIP GENERATION
The trip generation characteristics of the project were estimated using data from the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual, 11th Edition. Table 5
provides the trip generation estimated for the project. As indicated in the table, the full
buildout of the Project is estimated to generate approximately 680 daily trips, 50
morning, and 66 evening peak hour trips.
Table 5 – Estimated Project Trip Generation
11th Edition ITE Trip Generation Manual
PROJECT TRIP DISTRIBUTION | ASSIGNMENT
The distribution of the project traffic onto the roadway system was based on
existing/future travel patterns, land uses in the area, consideration of trip
attractions/productions in the area, and engineering judgment. The overall project trip
distribution, illustrated on Figure 5, is 65% on College Avenue south, 10% on College

4 FUTURE TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
Estimates of future traffic conditions both with and without the proposed project were
necessary to evaluate the potential impact of Willox Farm on the local street system. The
background base traffic scenario represents future traffic conditions without the addition
of the project, while the total scenario represents future traffic conditions with the
completion of the proposed Willox Farm. The short range future year of 2025 was
analyzed. The development of these future traffic scenarios is described in this chapter.
BACKGROUND 2025 TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
The background traffic projections reflect growth in traffic from ambient growth and
approved projects in the area. The ambient growth reflects additional traffic due to
regional growth both in and outside of the study area. No information was provided on
nearby projects. The background traffic at the existing study intersections was factored
by 2% per year to reflect overall growth in the area.
The resulting Background 2025 traffic projections for the study intersections are provided
on Figure 6.
2025 TOTAL TRAFFIC PROJECTIONS
The total traffic projections include both the background plus project traffic. The project-
generated traffic volumes from Figure 5 were added to the 2025 background traffic
volumes illustrated on Figure 6 to develop background plus project peak hour traffic
volumes. The resulting 2025 total traffic is depicted on Figure 7.

5 SITE DESIGN AND AUXILIARY LANES
SITE DESIGN
The Willox Farm was designed with a modified grid roadway network.
AUXILIARY LANES
An analysis was conducted to determine the need for auxiliary right-turn and left-turn
lanes on the adjacent roadways at the project access locations and study intersections.
The criteria for auxiliary lanes are based on the LCUASS guidelines. The warrants for
the left and right turn lanes are provided in Appendix B.
Based on the City’s criteria:
• A westbound left-turn lane will be warranted on Willox Lane at the project access
street.

6 TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS
This chapter presents an analysis of the potential impacts of the traffic generated by the
proposed Willox Farm on the local street system. The analysis compares the projected
levels of service at each study intersection under future background and total conditions
to estimate the incremental increase in the delay caused by the proposed project. This
provides the information needed to assess the potential impact of the project using the
significance criteria.
SIGNIFICANT TRAFFIC IMPACT CRITERIA
Threshold criteria were applied to determine if the growth in traffic due to regional growth
or the proposed project has a significant traffic impact at an intersection. If the future
traffic projections for either Background (without project) or Total (with project) resulted
in any portion of an intersection exceeding the LOS standards, this would be considered
an impact.
FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS 2025
The future 2025 traffic Projections at the study intersections were analyzed to determine
their future operating conditions. The operational results, for each of the study
intersections, are provided in Table 6 for both the background and total traffic scenarios.
Note that the results provided in Table 6 indicate both the overall delay/LOS for the
intersection and the delay/LOS for each constrained movement and/or approach. The
analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix C. Each of the study intersections is
projected to operate acceptably.

7 RAILROAD CROSSING BASIC
ANALYSIS
This chapter presents a basic analysis of the existing Union Pacific railroad crossing on
Willox Lane to the east of the project site. This analysis will include daily volumes on
Willox Lane and the railroad, current traffic control devices, speed data, crash history,
and sight distance. Potential upgrades to the current control, warning signs, and
pavement markings will be identified for consideration. It should be noted that this
analysis is NOT a Full Diagnostic Review. The City of Fort Collins, the Union Pacific
Railroad, and the Colorado Public Utilities Commission are responsible for
requesting/performing a Full Diagnostic Review to determine changes to railroad
crossings.
REFERENCE DOCUMENTS
Several documents were utilized for the review of the railroad crossing. These include:
• The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) 2009 Edition with
Revisions 1 and 2, May 2012, Federal Highway Administration
• Highway-Rail Crossing Handbook (HRC) Third Edition, July 2019, Federal
Highway Administration and Federal Railroad Administration (FRA)
• The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) Railroad Manual 2017
Each of these documents provides guidance on the selection of the type of crossing
traffic controls. However, unlike signal warrants, there are no definitive warrants for
railroad grade crossing control types.
EXISTING CONDITIONS
Currently, the crossing at Willox Lane is passive. There are advance railroad crossing
signs, pavement markings, and a speed reduction zone from 40 to 30 mph on either side
of the crossing. A crossbuck sign and yield sign are located at the crossing. There are
advance railroad crossing symbols and stop lines. The crossing is shown on Figure 8.
Daily vehicular traffic counts were performed in May 2022 and are depicted on Figure 3.
Currently, there are 6,475 daily trips on Willox Lane near the railroad crossing. Speed
data was also collected. The 85th percentile speed in the eastbound direction is 39.6
mph and in the westbound direction 42.7 mph. This data is provided in Appendix A.

CITY OF FORT COLLINS
Rollins Consult LLC | 24
Figure 8 – Willox Lane Railroad Crossing
WILLOX FARM| TRAFFIC IMPACT STUDY
CITY OF FORT COLLINS

Inventory crossing data from the FRA was obtained for the Willox Lane crossing
(crossing number 804512P). This inventory data is provided in Appendix D. The
inventory data indicates there are 2 trains per day and the train operates between 5 to
10 mph. The FRA Accident Prediction Report for Public at-Grade Highway-Rail
Crossings was obtained for the Willox crossing and is contained in Appendix E. The City
of Fort Collins staff indicated that after conversations with the railroad, the number of
trains is 2-3 per week.
The data indicated there were no collisions from 2016 through 2020. The report also
provides a prediction of the probability that a collision between a train and vehicles will
occur at the crossing in the future years. This value is reported at 0.015439 or a 1.5%
chance. It should be noted that the daily vehicular volumes used by the FRA were 3,200
rather than the existing 6,475. The City of Fort Collins staff reviewed crash data on
Willox Lane near the crossing and indicated there were no known railroad-related
crashes.
SIGHT DISTANCE
There are numerous sight distance elements associated with a railroad crossing. Figure
9 is from the FRA HRCH. This basic analysis will focus on the corner sight distance and
its’ associated stopping sight distance. The corner sight distance is for a vehicle to see
an approaching train. The stopping sight distance is the minimum sight distance
required along a roadway to enable a vehicle traveling at or near the design speed to
stop before reaching the crossing zone (15 feet before the tracks).
A site visit indicated that for the westbound approach there is ample corner sight
distance. In the eastbound direction, there are a couple of trees and a house obstructing
the corner sight distance. Figure 10 depicts the corner sight distance on the eastbound
approach with consideration of the existing house. Based on aerial images there is
roughly 590 feet available with the existing house. Due to the growth of several trees,
the current eastbound corner sight distance is negligible, as depicted in the photograph
taken on August 29th, 2022, and shown on Figure 11. As shown in the photograph, a
train could not be seen until it is just to the south of Willox Lane. The stopping sight
distance for 40 mph is 305 feet. The existing sight distance is not adequate.

ACTIVE CROSSING
The FRA HRCH provides some guidance for when an active crossing (with railroad
flashers and gates) may be considered. There are 12 guidelines which are provided in
Appendix F. This list was reviewed and three of the guidelines may be satisfied:
• Inadequate sight distance exists and cannot be corrected (the sight distance
could be improved with the removal of trees/vegetation).
• The AADT (average annual daily traffic) exceeds 2,000 in urban areas or 500 in
rural areas.
• The crossing exposure (the product of the number of daily trains and AADT)
exceeds 5,000 in urban areas or 4,000 in rural areas. The projected crossing
exposure is 7,605 X 2 = 15,210. However, based on City staff conversations with
the railroad, the current train activity is 2-3 trains per week. This may reduce the
crossing exposure however the guidelines are only established for daily trains.
POTENTIAL CROSSING IMPROVEMENTS
There are some suggested improvements to the current passive crossing. The sight
distance in the eastbound direction could be improved by clearing the trees and other
vegetation. An advance warning sign for the yield (W3-2A sign) condition could be
installed. This should be placed 125 feet prior to the stop bar at the railroad crossing. If
the proposed project access interferes with the railroad crossing symbols and stop bars,
the pavement markings should be relocated. The need to upgrade the crossing to an
active crossing should be determined by a Full Diagnostic Review. This review is
conducted by both the City and Railroad engineering/operations staff.

8 PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE
CONDITIONS
The City of Fort Collins has established pedestrian and bicycle level of service
definitions. They address several elements or quality indicators that impact the
environments these users experience. The City’s Pedestrian Plan, February 15, 2011,
describes the parameters to evaluate the pedestrian environment. The proposed project
is within the “Other”. Within the Other areas, the City has established a LOS C for each
of the elements listed below. The elements identified as important to support a
beneficial pedestrian environment are:
1. Directness
2. Continuity
3. Street Crossings
4. Visual Interest and Amenity
5. Security
Each of these is described in depth in the Pedestrian Plan. The Plan requires that
destinations within 1,320 feet (1/4 mile) of the Project are identified and analyzed for
each pedestrian element. This area is Appendix G. The results of this analysis are
summarized in Table 7 along with the associated LOS for each element. For schools,
the distance is 1 mile for elementary and middle schools and 1 ½ miles for high schools.
Based on the Poudre School District website, students within the Willox Farm
development would attend Irish Elementary, Lincoln Middle, and Poudre High schools.
Lincoln Middle school is just outside the 1 mile distance, however, is included.

As indicated in the table, access to Soft Gold Park is very good. Students attending Lincoln
Middle School will have poor conditions if using the public street system. Several sections do not
provide sidewalks. If the Poudre Trail system is used access to the school is improved. It should
be noted that these students qualify to ride a bus.
BICYCLE NETWORK/ANALYSIS
The bicycle network within the 1,320 foot area of the project site was evaluated for two
destinations: Soft Gold Park and Lincoln Middle School.
The bicycle analysis is for Continuity adjacent to the Project and to these destinations. The
results are provided in Table 8. As shown in the table, access to the park is exceptional with the
proposed connection to the park. The preferred route to Lincoln Middle School is via the Poudre
Trail. This route would be through Soft Gold Park, along Hickory Street to the trail connection to
the Poudre Trail. There is a direct connection from the trail to the school.

9 CONCLUSIONS
This study was undertaken to analyze the potential short-range traffic impacts of the
proposed Willox Farm project in the City of Fort Collins. The following summarizes the
results of this analysis:
• The proposed project will provide 65 dwellings. The site is approximately 18
acres. The roadway system includes one connection to Willox Lane and a future
local street connection to the west.
• The site is located north and west of Downtown Fort Collins. This land is
currently undeveloped.
• The Project is expected to generate approximately 680 daily trips, 42 trips during
the AM peak hour and 66 trips during the PM peak hour.
• Currently, the study intersection of College Avenue at Willox is operating at
acceptable levels.
• The Project will require a westbound left-turn lane at its access street to Willox
Lane.
• Under both future 2025 background and total conditions, the intersections are
projected to operate acceptably.
• A basic review of the railroad crossing on Willox east of the project site indicated
there were no crashes within the last 5 years.
• At the railroad crossing, the current sight distance in the eastbound direction is
not adequate. This can be addressed by the removal of some trees/vegetation.

USING DATA PRODUCED BY WBAPS
(Web Accident Prediction System)
WBAPS generates reports listing public highway-rail intersections for a State, County, City or railroad ranked by predicted collisions per
year. These reports include brief lists of the Inventory record and the collisions over the last 10 years along with a list of contacts for
further information. These data were produced by the Federal Railroad Administration's Web Accident Prediction System (WBAPS).
WBAPS is a computer model which provides the user an analytical tool, which combined with other site-specific information, can assist
in determining where scarce highway-rail grade crossing resources can best be directed. This computer model does not rank crossings
in terms of most to least dangerous. Use of WBAPS data in this manner is incorrect and misleading.
WBAPS provides the same reports as PCAPS, which is FRA's PC Accident Prediction System. PCAPS was originally developed as a
tool to alert law enforcement and local officials of the important need to improve safety at public highway-rail intersections within their
jurisdictions. It has since become an indispensable information resource which is helping the FRA, States, railroads, Operation
Lifesaver and others, to raise the awareness of the potential dangers at public highway-rail intersections. The PCAPS/WBAPS output
enables State and local highway and law enforcement agencies identify public highway-rail crossing locations which may require
additional or specialized attention. It is also a tool which can be used by state highway authorities and railroads to nominate particular
crossings which may require physical safety improvements or enhancements.
The WBAPS accident prediction formula is based upon two independent factors (variables) which includes (1) basic data about a
crossing's physical and operating characteristics and (2) five years of accident history data at the crossing. These data are obtained
from the FRA's inventory and accident/incident files which are subject to keypunch and submission errors. Although every attempt is
made to find and correct errors, there is still a possibility that some errors still exist. Erroneous, inaccurate and non-current data will
alter WBAPS accident prediction values. While approximately 100,000 inventory file changes and updates are voluntarily provided
annually by States and railroads and processed by FRA into the National Inventory File, data records for specific crossings may not be
completely current. Only the intended users (States and railroads) are really knowledgeable as to how current the inventory data is for a
particular State, railroad, or location.
It is important to understand the type of information produced by WBAPS and the limitations on the application of the output data.
WBAPS does not state that specific crossings are the most dangerous. Rather, the WBAPS data provides an indication that conditions
are such that one crossing may possibly be more hazardous than another based on the specific data that is in the program. It is only
one of many tools which can be used to assist individual States, railroads and local highway authorities in determining where and how to
initially focus attention for improving safety at public highway-rail intersections. WBAPS is designed to nominate crossings for further
evaluation based only upon the physical and operating characteristics of specific crossings as voluntarily reported and updated by
States and railroads and five years of accident history data.
PCAPS and WBAPS software are not designed to single out specific crossings without considering the many other factors which may
influence accident rates or probabilities. State highway planners may or may not use PCAPS/WBAPS accident prediction model. Some
States utilize their own formula or model which may include other geographic and site-specific factors. At best, PCAPS and WBAPS
software and data nominates crossings for further on-the-ground review by knowledgeable highway traffic engineers and specialists.
The output information is not the end or final product and the WBAPS data should not be used for non-intended purposes.
It should also be noted that there are certain characteristics or factors which are not, nor can be, included in the WBAPS database.
These include sight-distance, highway congestion, bus or hazardous material traffic, local topography, and passenger exposure (train or
vehicle), etc. Be aware that PCAPS/WBAPS is only one model and that other accident prediction models which may be used by States
may yield different, by just as valid, results for ranking crossings for safety improvements.
Finally, it should be noted that this database is not the sole indicator of the condition of a specific public highway-rail intersection. The
WBAPS output must be considered as a supplement to the information needed to undertake specific actions aimed at enhancing
highway-rail crossing safety at locations across the U.S. The authority and jurisdiction to appropriate resources towards the safety
improvement or elimination of specific crossings lies with the individual States.

The lists produced are only for public at-grade highway-rail intersections for the entity listed at the top of the page. The parameters
shown are those used in the collision prediction calculation.
RANK:
PRED COLLS:
Crossings are listed in order and ranked with the highest collision prediction value first.
The accident prediction value is the probability that a collision between a train and a highway
vehicle will occur at the crossing in a year.
CROSSING:The unique sight specific identifying DOT/AAR Crossing Inventory Number.
RR:The alphabetic abbreviation for the railroad name.
CITY:The city in (or near) which the crossing is located.
ROAD:
NUM OF
COLLISIONS:
The name of the road, street, or highway (if provided) where the crossing is located.
DATE CHG:The date of the latest change of the warning device category at the crossing which impacts the
collision prediction calculation, e.g., a change from crossbucks to flashing lights, or flashing
lights to gates. The accident prediction calculation utilizes three different formulas, on each for
(1) passive devices, (2) flashing lights only, and (3) flashing lights with gates. When a date is
shown, the collision history prior to the indicated year-month is not included in calculating the
accident prediction value.
WD:The type of warning device shown on the current Inventory record for the crossing where:
FQ=Four Quad Gates; GT = All Other Gates; FL = Flashing lights; HS = Wigwags, Highway
Signals, Bells, or Other Activated; SP = Special Protection (e.g., a flagman); SS = Stop Signs;
XB = Crossbucks; OS = Other Signs or Signals; NO = No Signs or Signals.
Number of total trains per day.
Total number of railroad tracks between the warning devices at the crossing.
TTBL SPD:The maximum timetable (allowable) speed for trains through the crossing.
HWY LNS:
HWY PVD:
AADT:
Is the highway paved on both sides of the crossing?
The number of highway traffic lanes crossing the tracks at the crossing.
The Average Annual Daily Traffic count for highway vehicles using the crossing.
