Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) Master Planned Development Executive Summary October 2012 o Even with signalization and the addition of a second westbound right turn lane, westbound and northbound movements will be over - capacity during the peak 15 minutes. As such, the new signal will be creating opportunities for each movement to proceed under congested conditions. This finding is consistent with the City of Eugene's identification of Coburg Road as a future "congested corridor." Year 2031 Total Traffic Conditions With signalization and the addition of a second westbound right turn lane, the 41h Avenue /Coburg Road intersection is forecast to operate at an acceptable level of service during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours; however, both westbound right -turn and northbound through movements are forecast to operate over capacity (v /c > 1.0). On -Site Circulation /Site- Access Operations Each of the key site driveway study intersections will function acceptably with the proposed traffic control devices. • Proposed on -site bicycle and pedestrian facilities will serve day -to -day use within the site while providing connectivity to the larger bicycle and pedestrian networks surrounding the site and the Ruth Bascom Path to the west. Recommendations The following list provides a summary of the mitigation measures recommended as part of this proposed development. ■ The 4 Avenue /Coburg Road intersection should be improved in conjunction with initial redevelopment of the site. Recommended improvements include: Retain right -in /right -out turn movement restrictions; • Provide dual right -turn lanes on 4 Avenue between the EWEB Headquarters Building and Coburg Road (approximately 125 feet of storage); Signalize westbound right turn movements on 4 1 h Avenue and northbound through movements on Coburg Road at the intersection (southbound movements would remain unsignalized and pedestrian phases would not be provided because grade- separated pedestrian /bicycle crossings are provided via 4 Avenue and the Southbank Ruth Bascom path under the Ferry Street Bridge); and J FZA Kittelson & Associates, Inc. 5
