Ms. Rachel Juba <br />April 14, 2025 <br />Page 4 <br />Distribution Of Decision <br />Once distribution of the revised Final AUAR has been authorized, the agencies will have 10 <br />working days from receipt of the revised AUAR to review the final document. If no objections <br />are filed, the City can adopt the AUAR document and mitigation plan. WSB will distribute the <br />AUAR for the second 10-day objection period. WSB will prepare the final documentation for <br />the City to adopt the AUAR. Once adopted, the AUAR will cover the required environmental <br />review for the development scenarios and document outlined mitigation measures. WSB will <br />submit the documentation to the EQB and agencies once the AUAR is adopted. <br /> <br />4. Traffic Study <br />WSB will complete a traffic study for the165th Corridor from Elmcrest Avenue to Ingersoll <br />Avenue. The impact on traffic from each land use scenarios will be evaluated and discussed <br />in the AUAR. A discussion of potential mitigation measures will also be included. The <br />following outlines the subtasks that will be completed: <br /> <br />Data Collection <br />WSB will conduct traffic counts at the following five intersections: <br />1. Elmcrest Avenue <br />2. Fenway Avenue <br />3. TH 61 <br />4. Harrow Avenue <br />5. Ingersoll Avenue <br /> <br />The counts for the AUAR will include turning movement counts at the identified intersections. <br />The intersection turning movement counts will be collected using video cameras and analysis <br />will include AM peak (6-9AM) and PM peak (4-7PM) hours. <br /> <br />Traffic Forecasts <br />Based on the existing traffic volume data collected, traffic generation forecasts for the three <br />development scenarios will be developed using the following information: <br />• City of Hugo Comprehensive Plan <br />• Otter Lake Road Extension Study <br />• TH 61 Corridor study <br />• Everton Area AUAR <br />• Webb Development EAW <br /> <br />Traffic Analysis <br />Traffic analysis will be conducted based on the forecasted traffic volumes on the impacted <br />roadways for the existing condition and each development scenario. A Synchro/Sim Traffic <br />network will be developed for the study area. An operational analysis will be performed at each <br />of the five study intersections and other potential future intersections to determine intersection <br />delay, level of service (LOS) and queuing. <br /> <br />Traffic Study Documentation <br />WSB will develop a study document including the background, methodology, supporting <br />figures, tables, and graphics. The document will summarize the findings and include <br />recommendations for each development scenario. The study will address several different <br />corridor typical-sections including 2-lane rural, 2-lane rural with off-street trail/pedestrian <br />facilities, 2-lane urban, and 2-lane urban with off-street trail/pedestrian facilities. <br /> <br />
