V. NO -BUILD CONDITIONS <br />Historic daily traffic volumes from 2000 to 2013 were used to formulate a 20 year <br />background growth rate of 1.8% for Armstrong Boulevard. Therefore, background traffic <br />was projected to grow by 43% along Armstrong Boulevard. No -Build conditions <br />includes the background growth along with the traffic generated from the COR <br />development. It is assumed that the COR development, east of Armstrong Boulevard, is <br />fully built out for this scenario. The Future Business Park development, the focus of this <br />study, is assumed to generate no traffic for this no -build scenario. <br />Parts of the COR development have already been built out, so only the portions that <br />haven't been built out were analyzed for potential trips. The total new COR development <br />is projected to generate 37,500 daily trips (6,150 peak hour trips). It was assumed that <br />1/3 of the traffic generated by the COR development will enter/exit on Bunker Lake <br />Boulevard & Armstrong Boulevard. The COR development trips are included in <br />Appendix B. <br />Assumptions made for all future scenarios include that the signals are uncoordinated, <br />which is what they operate as currently. Signal timings are optimized for each scenario. <br />Left turn movements at signals are all protected except for the westbound left turn at the <br />T.H.1O North Ramp. <br />A. 2040 No -Build Operations <br />Future traffic volumes for 2040 were forecasted for the study area without any additional <br />development. Historic growth rates were used to calculate the 20 year growth rate of 1%. <br />This growth rate was applied to Armstrong Boulevard to account for background traffic <br />along the roadway.
