Summary and Conctusiona <br /> <br />The proposed new development is estimated to consist of residenti',d units, office space, <br />retail, and a Town Center exp,'msion. Based on the traffic analysis provided, our <br />recommendations and conclusions are: <br /> <br /> 1. The number o f mside.ntial units was chm~ged in mid-May.2005. The-apat~rments <br /> have bei:n eliminated and the total nun~ber of residential units was. ch,'mged to <br /> 686. This change has minimal impacts on the trip generation -and no impacts on <br /> the final lane and traffic control needs. <br /> 2. An opening 5,ear of 2007 is set tbr ali the development projects in this area. With <br /> the full development or' the Pultc Site, Town Center I, and the SUperstore, <br /> improvements will be required at intersections surrounding the site, These <br /> improvements include tile addition of traffic lames, a ch,-mge in traffic control, or <br /> major intersection ,'econstruction. '" --' <br />3. By 2{)07, signalization should be.considered at the intersection oFAlpine Drive <br /> and TH I0 based'on level of service analysis. Additionally, a six-lane TH 10 <br /> wotdd bring LOS to D or better for ail movements~ By 2017, delay considerations <br /> t'or the intersection would require a full intercham.3e at TH 10. Alth'ougf~ the delay <br /> is high, with the low volume of trafl'ic on Alpine Drive it is unlikely that this <br /> intersection would meet any signal wat'ran't analysis, ffadditional devdopment <br /> OCCURS to the west on Alpine Drive, the volume oftra.ffic ush~g the intersection <br /> may wan'ant signalization. <br />4. The intersection of'Alpine Drive and Armstrong Blvd. will require improvements <br /> bel'bru and after 2007.' 'l'l~ese include the addition o£ multiple lanes and <br /> signalization as illustrated in Figures 9 m~d 10. By ,0o0, the volUmes traveling <br /> north mxd south are [ikely to require a four-fane divided Armstrong. <br />5. The intersection o[: Armstrong and industry' Avenue requires extensive <br /> reconstruction to bring all movements to LOS D or better by 200Z These <br /> improvements include the reconstruction of each. roadway to a four-[ane roadway <br /> with ~ull turn limes. AdditionallY, due to the N.'Zdn tm'ning vo.lumes, dual lea turn <br /> lanes are required both nordlbound and westbound. <br />6. A~ter '> <br /> =00 ~, the roadway network should be redesigned to better accommodate the' <br /> trafUc fi'om the sites and take off the.pressure from Armstrong and Industry. The <br /> proposed re-alignment o£ Armstrong Boulevard would greatly improve operations· <br /> and traffic flow through the area. <br />7. With the new alignment of Armstrong, a new Armstrong and Industry intersection <br /> will be built. By 2017, this intersect/on will require a four-lane roadway On each <br /> approacl~ with full turn lanes. Dual [eft turn lanes will also be required <br /> westbound, northbound, and southbound. By 2030, the volumes will be raised <br /> such that a triple [eft westbound is required. This design Will require a six-lane <br /> Armstrong south of h~dustry Avenue. Other options to alleviate this potential <br /> problem include an interclmnge design that 'allows for westbound left turns· to <br /> move ~'ree{y or by keeping a half-diamond interchange to tge east on TH 10 off <br /> the existing Armstrong Boulevard. ... <br /> <br /> pttge 23 of 24 <br /> P;w2ared by: <br />BoRon & Men/c, <br /> <br />-463- <br /> <br /> <br />
