Mr. Michael Grochala <br /> February 14, 2025 <br /> Page 5 <br /> The Traffic analysis focused on the operation of the primary roadways and their intersections during <br /> the peak travel periods(a.m.and p.m. peak hours),which is typically the time when the most severe <br /> traffic congestion is incurred. The results found that mitigation improvements would be required for <br /> each Scenario for the transportation system to operate at acceptable levels. <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 identified <br /> to accommodate specific development needs. <br /> As part of the 2020 Update, traffic forecasts were revised for 2040 and Post 2040 with the Cities <br /> "Draft 2040 Transportation Plan". The forecasts assumed a roadway network consistent with the <br /> AUAR mitigation improvements. Since the 2020 Update, the 2040 Comprehensive Plan has been <br /> finalized, and a few forecasts were slightly modified. Figure 1 shows the forecasted 2040 and Post <br /> 2040 (Full Build)Average Daily Traffic volumes with the future roadway network. <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, 2015, and 2020 updates remain valid for this AUAR Update. <br /> M:\027919-000Wdmin\Docs\Traffic\MEMO-021425-Transportation_Scenario 3 removed.docx <br /> Page 101 of 240 <br />
