Mr. Tlm Nelson -II- September 15, 1986 �1 traffic slgnallzatlon will be warranted. The design of this Intersection should Include a double left turn lane on the north approach to accommodate the traffic volumes leaving the proposed development. As noted, tf•e Intersections of T.H. 10 with County Road H and County Road FI-2 are currently operating at or near capacity during the PH Peak Hour. The principal reason for this current operation Is the significant northbound through volume on T.H. 10. The majority of development traffic on T.H. 10 during the PH Peak Hour will be south - bound, opposite the prevailing traffic volumes. As such, development traffic Is not significantly Increasing the most critical movement on the roadway. Upon full development of the proposal, through volumes on T.H. 10 will be reduced as a result of the const:•uctlon of realigned T.H. 10 to T.H. 65. As fu-ther construction of realigned T.H. 10 westward occurs, through volumes will continue to be reduced, such that upon completion of the regional roadway system, T.H. 10 Is expected to effectively accommodate development traffic and operate at Improved levels of servlco than currently exist. Program Avenue Program Avenue Is proposed to be extended from County Road H-2 to Clifton St. This connection Is Important In providing access to the development, providing an :^ddltlonal connection to T.H. 10 and 1-35W for a portion of the property, and diverting existing traffic from County RoaJ H-2 In the vicinity of Quincy and Jackson Streets. Based upon PH Peak Hour projections, the Intersection of County Road it and CIIftori St. Is expected to effectively accommo- date traffic. PH Peak Flour signal warrants would not be met upon full development of the proposal based on current projections. S Cotjn>y Road 14-2 As noted, County Road H-2 Is actually a City street which Is both a designated collector roadway and an MSA roadway, 44 Feet In width. Just east of Jackson St., the development Is expected to add approximately 845 daily trips (two way), while east of Quincy St. 270 daily development trips are expected. As noted, the roadway system proposed for the development will result In diversion of existing trips from County Road H-2, effectively reducing existing traffic volumes on this roadway. As can be noted from Figure 4, daily volumes on County Road H-2 are expected to be less than current volumes despite the addition of development traffic. As such, It could be concluded that the devel- opment actually provides benefits to County Road H-2 by reducing overall traffic.
