Adelaide Landing Residential Development EAW, Hugo January 31, 2017 The street system in the Adelaide Landing development is proposed to be curvilinear with one main neighborhood collector running north -south through the development with various local streets intersecting the north -south street and serving small pockets of housing. While the development will propose no new direct access intersections onto TH 61, the concept sketch plan for the site includes a connection to existing 137th Street North that proceeds through another residential development and intersects TH 61. Further, the development proposes three intersections with 130th Street North at the south end of the site, which in turn provides direct access to TH 61. As required, a traffic study has been prepared for this development (see Appendix). This analysis looked at the traffic operation of the study area during three time periods: • Existing condition (2016), • One year after full development (2022), and • Twenty-year timeframe (2035 to 2040). The following intersections were assessed in this analysis: • TH 61 & 130th Street N • TH 61 & 134th Street N • TH 61 & 137th Street N • TH 61 & 140th Street N • 130th Street N & West Site Access Street/Flay Road • 130th & Mid Site Access Street • 130th Street N & East Site Access Street • 140th Street N & Flay Avenue This analysis also addressed the potential for "cut -through" concerns, as well as pedestrian access and crossings. The completion of the Adelaide Landing development will prompt some residents of adjacent subdivisions to cut through the new development in order to get to TH 61 at either 130th Street or 137th Street. Traffic has been added to the trip generation of Adelaide Landing to account for this cut through traffic in the analysis. Findings from this study were compared with the results from previous studies in the area, including the TH 61 Corridor Access Management Plan, the TH 61 at 130th Street ICE Report and the City of Hugo Comprehensive Plan. Because the development is residential, the peak hour flow is directionally -oriented (e.g., primarily outbound during the a.m., and primarily inbound during the p.m. peak). Results of the traffic study show that a majority of the trips generated by the site will enter and exit the development at the south (i.e., TH 61 & 130th Street N) while the remainder of the trips will enter and exit the development at the north (i.e., TH 61 & 137th Street N, or other local streets to County Road 8). This is not only because the 32
