Eugene Water & Electric Board (EWEB) Master Planned Development October 2012 Traffic Impact Analysis Proposed Development Plan Redevelopment of the EWEB site could begin as early as 2012. Approximately 15 acres of the site, primarily an impervious utility operations yard today, will be developed in multiple phases. The projected timeframe for complete build -out is between 10 and 15 years. At this tune, the site development phases are not yet defined. Four potential redevelopment scenarios (summarized in the Transportation Planning Rule section of this report) were developed by Rowell Brokaw Architects, PC and Cameron McCarthy staff based on the original EWEB master plan work, market forecasts, and other in- process master planning efforts. For the purpose of the future operational analyses presented in this report, the "Civic Center' scenario was used. The "Civic Center" scenario resulted in the highest trip generation of the four redevelopment scenarios evaluated. This scenario includes a mixed -use redevelopment of the EWEB site, including 53 new townhome and apartment residential units, 315,000 square feet of new office building space, 22,000 square feet of new retail space, and 14,000 square feet of restaurant space. 1r1 1 kU01 F-1 Iil i1F_TA INL1 ■1 LTA Ia:ZiNa1 /1: 1►1W Figure 7 shows the transportation network proposed to serve the redevelopment of the property. Vehicle access to the site will continue to be provided via 4th Avenue. Mill Street will be extended south of 4th Avenue through the site to a point north of the railroad tracks. Similarly, the existing EWEB Administrative Building driveway will be reconstructed as a local street that travels southeast through the site to a proposed southern site access, at a relocated signalized 8 Avenue railroad crossing. In addition, a new 5 Avenue extension is proposed to provide east -west connections through the northern portion of the site. The proposed 5 Avenue extension would provide access to the site from High Street at a new intersection located approximately 150 feet north of the railroad tracks and the current eastern terminus of 5th Avenue. Figure 8 shows the anticipated lane configurations and traffic controls at study intersections after full build -out of the site redevelopment. 6 All of the scenarios assume that new development will be in addition to the existing EWEB Administrative Building and the Midgley Building.
