June 2017 5-2 The LOS results for the study intersections are described below. All LOS worksheets are included in the Appendix for further detail. CSAH 10/Groveland Road (minor street stop control) During the weekday a.m. peak hour, all movements operate at LOS D or better under all existing and future scenarios. The overall intersection operates at LOS A under all scenarios. During the weekday p.m. peak hour, all movements operate at LOS E or better under all existing and future scenarios. The overall intersection operates at LOS A under all scenarios. Groveland Road/proposed access (minor street stop control) During the weekday a.m. peak hour, all movements operate at LOS A under the future scenario. The overall intersection operates at LOS A under all scenarios. During the weekday p.m. peak hour, all movements operate at LOS A under the future scenario. The overall intersection operates at LOS A under all scenarios. Overall Intersection Impacts The CSAH 10/Groveland Road intersection is expected to operate at acceptab le levels of service in the year 2020 both without and with the proposed project. Trips generated by the proposed development will have minimal impact on the operations at the intersection. The CSAH 10/Groveland Road intersection has a wide median on CSAH 10, which allows northbound and southbound drivers to complete a two-stage crossing. In addition, the traffic signals located at Silver Lake Road and at Pleasant View Drive create gaps in the CSAH 10 through traffic, allowing vehicles to enter from Groveland Road at times with minimal cross traffic. These operational items were confirmed through field observations completed during the data collection. The combination of these items results in acceptable levels of service for the intersection. The addition of a southbound right turn lane on Groveland Road was also considered. The addition of a right turn lane would separate the southbound right turns from the through/left turns, which would reduce delay for the right turn movement. However, the volume of southbound right turn traffic is small compared to the total volume on CSAH 10, resulting in minimal improvements to the overall intersection operations. Groveland Road Impacts The most recent traffic volume avail able indicates a daily volume of 1,250 vehicle per day on Groveland Road between CSAH 10 and Ardan Avenue. North of Arden Avenue the daily volume drops to 710 vehicles per day. The proposed project is expected to add 60 vehicles per day to Groveland Road north of the development access. This level of increase will have minimal impacts traffic operations. Two-lane local streets can accommodate the traffic volume levels expected on Groveland Road.
