Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) Master Planned Development Executive Summary October 2012 The estimated peak hour trip generation of the site under the proposed S -DR zoning is lower than the trip generation of a reasonable "worst- case" density under the existing zoning. As a result, the proposed rezone would not have a significant effect on the transportation system. No future year intersection operational analysis is required for TPR purposes given the reduced peak hour trip generation associated with the rezone proposal. TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS Future weekday morning and evening peak hour traffic conditions were analyzed for the horizon years 2021 and 2031 prior to site development (background traffic) and with site development (total traffic). The analysis assumed reconstruction of the 8th Avenue /Hilyard Street intersection in conjunction with site development as envisioned by the City of Eugene. EWEB will work with the City to procure funding for the improvement and subsequent development phases will determine the appropriate year of completion. It is expected that a variety of public and private funding sources may be used to fund the improvement given its benefits to both the EWEB site and the greater subarea. Under each condition evaluated (2021 and 2031 background and total traffic conditions) all but two of the study intersections are forecast to operate at acceptable levels of service during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. o Westbound right -turn movements at the 4th Avenue /Coburg Road intersection continue to operate at level of service "F" and over capacity (v /c > 1.0) during the p.m. peak hour. o The eastbound right turn movements at the Coburg Road /3rd Avenue intersection are projected to operate at level of service "F" during the weekday a.m. peak hour before and after site development under year 2031 conditions. The movement will be well under capacity and does not warrant signalization. Further, the EWEB site redevelopment is not anticipated to add any trips to the failing eastbound right -turn movement. The intersection operates acceptably under forecast 2021 conditions. Operations at the 4th Avenue /Coburg Road intersection were found to be restored to an acceptable level of service though provision of dual westbound right -turn lanes and signalization of the intersection's northbound and westbound movements.
