MEMORANDUM
TO: Kaye Vincent, Lagunitas Company
Cathy Mathis, VF Ripley
City of Fort Collins
FROM: Joe/Matt Delich
DATE: January 28, 2008
SUBJECT: Fossil Creek Building #5 Transportation Impact Study
(File: 0808ME01)
r
This memorandum addresses the transportation impacts of the
proposed Fossil Creek Building #5 development. The Fossil Creek
Building #5 development is located west of College Avenue (US287) and
south of (adjacent to) Cameron Drive, in Fort Collins. The site
location is shown in Figure 1. The Fossil Creek Building #5 site is
currently vacant. The Fossil Creek Building_#5 will consist of 12,400
square feet of general office uses. The short range future was
determined to be year 2009. The scope of this study was discussed
with the Fort Collins Traffic Operations Engineer. A brief memorandum
was requested. The Base Assumptions form is provided in Appendix A.
Sidewalks in this area are sporadic. There are no sidewalks along
Cameron Drive. There are sidewalks on Fossil Creek Parkway. The
Mason Trail is to the west of the site and the Fossil Creek Trail to
the south of the site. There are bicycle lanes along College Avenue.
Figure 2 shows recent peak hour counts at the College/Fossil
Creek -Cameron intersection. The count data at College/Fossil Creek -
Cameron intersection was obtained in June 2007, by the City of Fort
Collins. Raw traffic data is provided in Appendix B. Table 1 shows
the current peak hour operation of the College/Fossil Creek -Cameron
intersection. Calculation forms are provided in Appendix C. The
College/Fossil Creek -Cameron intersection operates acceptably during the
peak hours. A description of level of service for signalized
intersections from the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual and a table showing
the Fort Collins Motor Vehicle LOS Standards (Intersections) are also
provided in Appendix C. The Fossil Creek Building #5 site is in an
area termed "commercial corridor." In "commercial corridors,"
acceptable overall operation at signalized intersections during the
peak hours is defined as level of service D or better. At signalized
intersections, acceptable operation of any leg and any movement is
level of service E.
