Mr. Michael Grochala <br />April 8, 2020 <br />Page 5 <br />K:\015144-000\Admin\Docs\AUAR - Update 2020\Traffic\MEMO - 040820 - Transportation.docx <br />The Traffic analysis focused on the operation of the primary roadways and their intersections <br />during the peak travel periods (a.m. and p.m. peak hours), which is typically the time when the <br />most severe traffic congestion is incurred. The results found that mitigation improvements would <br />be required for each Scenario for the transportation system to operate at acceptable levels. <br /> <br />Based on the analysis a Mitigation Plan was developed. Mitigation included adding new roadway <br />connections, intersection control, turn lanes and widening roads as necessary as development <br />occurs throughout the area. The improvements were intended to represent the minimum level of <br />infrastructure investment that would be needed to meet acceptable level of service standards. <br />Additional roadway and non-motorized improvements, beyond the minimum level, may be <br />identified to accommodate specific development needs. <br /> <br />Updated traffic forecasts were developed for 2040 and Post 2040 with the Cities “Draft 2040 <br />Transportation Plan”. The forecasts assumed a roadway network consistent with the AUAR <br />mitigation improvements. Figure 1 shows the forecasted 2040 and Post 2040 Average Daily <br />Traffic volumes with the future roadway network. <br /> <br />Based on the comparison of the forecasted traffic generation from the AUAR area and the <br />forecasted 2040 traffic volumes, the traffic analysis conducted, and Mitigation Plan recommended <br />with the 2005 AUAR and the 2010 and 2015 updated AUAR’s remains valid for this AUAR <br />Update.
