Traffic Analysis Comparison

B&M December, 2014 Traffic Analysis Report
(modifying the May, 2014 report):
Method: December Report used Employment
Model (May Report used ITE Trip Generation
Model)
Assumptions:
•1 office emp./600 sf & 1 retail emp./1,200 sf;
•HWY 114 & 6/8 connections to HWY 114 can
continue to accommodate trip assignments
even though operations are gridlocked
(failing).
Conclusions:
•25 mil. sf of non-res. entitlements will
generate 175,000 ADT (B&M May estimates
at 466,000 ADT)
•HWY 114 and 6/8 connections to HWY 114
can serve development at LOS of E or F+
(breakdown)
•2 lane Ottinger will carry more cars than a 4
lane Pearson in 2035
MESA Team Thoroughfare Plan:
Method: ITE Trip Generation Model
Assumptions:
•72% of 25 mil. sf of non-res. Entitlement will
be built, generating 315,000 ADT
•HWY 114 is currently over capacity
breakdown level of operation going forward
•Connections to the 2 lane service road will be
at LOS in excess of E.
•Traffic congestion within 114 corridor and
south of Dove Rd. will force high traffic to
Dove.
Conclusions:
•An inter-connected, town-wide system is
needed with:
•Easterly extension of Dove,
•Westward extension of Capital Pkwy/
Westlake Pkwy,
•North/south connection for Pearson Rd.
and Ottinger Rd.
Traffic Analysis Comparison
P&Z Commission Public Hearing
January 21, 2015
Points of Agreement:
•Aggregate non-residential square
footage = approx. 25 million square
feet
•HWY 114 is at capacity now
•Without a Pearson Rd. Connection,
Davis Blvd., Ottinger Rd., and Roanoke
Rd. will function at capacity
Points of Disagreement –The MESA Team
believes that:
•Congestion along and at points of connection
with HWY 114 requires relief routes for local
movement.
•Employment model should use 260 sq. ft./
employee per industry standard. Fidelity has
205 sq. ft./ employee.
•LOS E & F+ doesn’t define a “working” system.
•Pearson and Peytonville will not carry less cars
in 2035 (after development) than they carry
today.
•Traffic will not continue to load onto a 2 lane,
congested Ottinger Rd. (no direct connection
to 1179) rather than use a non-congested
Pearson (direct connection to 1179).
