(or 2010 HCM at the City's request) and Synchro Analysis Software. The traffic study will include the following traffic study scenarios: a. Existing Conditions—Existing operating conditions at the study intersections will be estimated based on the field reconnaissance, data collection, and methodologies described above. In addition, a qualitative review of transit, bicycle and pedestrian facilities will be included. The Existing conditions will include an analysis of intersection Levels of Service, the Mitigations identified in the City's Traffic Impact Fee, and the Level of Service with Mitigation in place. b. Existing+Approved Projects (Background Conditions)—These operating conditions will be analyzed based on the addition of net-new trips related to pending or approved projects as identified by City staff to the Existing Conditions analysis. The traffic analysis for this scenario will include trip estimates,trip distribution patterns, and intersection LOS analysis for the study intersections. The Existing+ Approved Projects conditions will include an analysis of intersection Level of Service, the Mitigations identified in the City's Traffic Impact Fee, and the Level of Service with Mitigations in place. c. Existing+Approved Projects + Project Conditions—Operating conditions will be analyzed based on a forecast of net-new trips associated with the proposed project added to the Background Conditions traffic volumes. The traffic analysis for the Project scenario will include trip estimates, trip distribution patterns, and intersection LOS analysis for the study intersections. The Existing +Approved Projects+ Project conditions will include an analysis of intersection Levels of Service, impact identification, significance criteria, mitigation measures, effectiveness of mitigations measures, and responsibility for implementation. 5. Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis A peak-hour traffic signal warrant analysis will be conducted using existing and project conditions to determine if signalization of unsignalized intersections is warranted. 6. Queuing Analysis Queue lengths will be analyzed for each lane to provide the distance that vehicles will back up in each direction approaching an intersection.The 95`h percentile queue length will be used to account for fluctuations in traffic indicating the longest queue length that would be expected 95 percent of the time during the peak period, with traffic volumes and related queuing at or less than the 95`h percentile queue most of the time. Ninety-fifth percentile queuing will be checked (per the City's Standards of Significance) under the Existing+ Approved Projects and Existing+Approved Projects+ Project a.m. and p.m. peak hour conditions.
