Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) Master Planned Development Traffic Impact Analysis October 2012 proposal to convert a portion of a warehouse in the SE corner of 8 and Ferry to a fitness center (Crossfit Training). This facility is anticipated to serve from 2 to 15 students with one instructor between the hours of 5:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. daily. The fitness center will primarily serve Federal Courthouse employees and other nearby users who already travel to the site for work. As a result, this development is anticipated to have negligible traffic impacts; most trips generated by this development are expected to be walking trips and are not expected to add to existing traffic volumes on the site. TRAFFIC VOLUMES While no development activities were noted that will add significantly to existing traffic volumes in the immediate site vicinity, a one percent annual growth rate was assumed at the study intersections to account for local and regional traffic growth. Accordingly, the year 2011 existing traffic volumes were increased by a factor of 10.4 percent to forecast year 2021 background traffic volumes. The 2021 a.m. and p.m. peak hour background traffic volumes are summarized in Figures 5 and 6. The 2021 weekday a.m. and p.m. peak -hour turning- movement volumes shown in Figures 5 and 6 were used to prepare an operational analysis at each study intersection. Similar to existing conditions, all of the study intersections are forecast to operate acceptably during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours, except 4th Avenue /Coburg Road. During the p.m. peak hour, westbound right -turn movements at this intersection continue to operate at level of service "F" and over capacity (v /c > 1.0). As discussed previously, the volumes at the 4th Avenue /Coburg Road intersection meet traffic signal warrants under 2011 conditions and would continue to warrant signalization in the future. Appendix "G" contains the year 2021 background traffic operations worksheets. 5 The average annual growth rate derived from the 2031 model volumes provided by Lane Council of Governments (LCOG) was 1.04 percent. Growth rates at individual intersections ranged from 0.4% to 2.4 %. J FZA Kittelson & Associates, Inc. 33
