5. Conclusions and Recommendations The traffic impacts of the proposed development were thoroughly studied, and the principal findings are: • The proposed development is expected to generate 1,912 new trips during an average weekday, 140 new trips during the a.m. peak hour, and 186 new trips during the p.m. peak hour. • All study corridors are projected to operate with volumes within their planning level capacity through the 2040 build scenario. • All study intersections except for Highway 10/Riverdale Drive (currently Highway 10/Bowers Drive) are projected to operate with queues and delays within acceptable bounds through the 2040 build scenario. • Highway 10/Riverdale Drive (currently Highway 10/Bowers Drive) experiences larger than preferred queueing with excessive delays in the 2022 and 2040 no - build scenarios. Restriction of this access to a 3/4-access, where the northbound left turning movement from Riverdale Drive to Highway 10 westbound is no longer allowed, reduces the queues and delays to acceptable levels for all analyzed scenarios. • No external bicycle or pedestrian connections are shown in the provided site plan. The following recommendations are made based on the above findings: • The future Highway 10/Riverdale Drive intersection should be constructed to a 3/4-access, eliminating the northbound left turning movement. • A trail with a 10-foot minimum cross section should be constructed on the south side of Riverdale Drive connecting to Highway 10/Riverdale Drive and the existing trail on the south side of Highway 10, to the current trail system on the south side of Riverdale Drive to the east of Llama Street.
