I. INTRODUCTION
This transportation impact study addresses the capacity,
geometric, and control requirements at and near Good Samaritan
Village, located west of the College/Trilby intersection in Fort
Collins, Colorado. A scoping meeting was held in May, 1997. This
transportation study addresses the overall development plan (ODP)
issues at full development of the site in the long range future
(year 2015), as well as, the short range analysis depicting a year
2000 condition. The short range analysis will likely meet the
Transportation Impact Analysis for the project development plan
(PDP) submittal requirements.
During the course of the analysis, numerous contacts were made
with the project planning/engineering consultant (Landmark
Engineering) and the management of the existing facility. This
study generally conforms to the format set forth in the Fort
Collins Transportation Impact Study Guidelines. The study involved
the following steps:
- Evaluate the existing conditions;
- Estimate the trip generation by the proposed/assumed
developments;
- Determine the trip distribution of site generated traffic;
- Evaluate level of service for all transportation modes;
- Determine the geometrics at key intersections;
- Determine the impacts of site generated traffic at key
intersections.
Information used in this report was obtained from the City of
Fort Collins, the planning and engineering consultants, the
developers, research sources (ITE, TRB, etc.), and field
reconnaissance. The following traffic studies were reviewed and
considered in preparing this study:
- "Shenandoah Site Access Study," October 1996;
- "Ridgewood Hills Site Access Study," May 1994;
- "Hugh M. Woods Traffic Study," November 1994;
- "Stanton Creek Transportation Impact Study," June 1997.
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
The location of Good Samaritan Village is shown in Figure 1.
It is important that a thorough understanding of the existing
conditions be presented.
