Mt. Donald Pau ley, City Administtatot Pubtuaty 27, 111H4 Page 2 Out findings ate illustrated in the attached schematics for each of the three alternatives. The figures show the traffic being generated by the surrounding development only. Through traffic has not been added to these trips. Alternative 1 (full median cross -over) projects a substantial volume of southbound l left turns to the proposed Wooddale Drive access. Approximately conflicts per day would be expected at the Wooddale Drive full cross -over. An increase of approximately 800 vehicles per day is expected on County Road H-2 immediately west of Trunk Highway 10. A majority of these vehicles turn to go either north or south on Highway 10. A very minimal amount of traffic is anticipated to use the local residential streets north of County Road H-2. At the intersection of Trunk Highway 10 and County Road H, 1430 southbound left turns are projected from Highway 10 and 2150 westbound left turns from County Road H were anticipated. Alternate 2 (partial ctoss-over) is illustrated by the second schematic. The conflicts for this case reduce to 2335 at the proposed Wooddale Drive ctoss-over (-40% when compared to Alternative 1, full Ctoss-over). Increased traffic on County Road H-2 more than doubles over Alternative 1 to 1900 vehicles per day. The traffic on H-2 is unbalanced due to trips desiring to proceed southbound on Trunk Highway 10. Little traffic is anticipated to utilize local streets north of County Road H-2. A 41% increase in southbound left turns from Highway 10 to County Road H occurs due to eastbound trip desires from Wooddale Dtive (now prohibited from crossing at Wooddale Drive) and circulating traffic from the commercial development on the south side of Highway 10 desiring to proceed northbound. Westbound left turns from County Road H to Highway 10 increase 32% due to the prohibition against this movement at Wooddale Drive. Alternate 3 (no median openings) is illustrated by the third schematic. Conflicts within the Wooddale Drive connection are now reduced to zero since all movements are "right -in or right -out" only. Traffic on County Road H-2 increases to 2500 vehicles per day, the highest of the three alternatives. This is due to the addition of some vehicles which had been using the southbound left turn at Wooddale Drive (now prohibited). The left turning movements at County Road H also increases dramatically.
