B. Project Delivery Estimate— 25 Intersections Example I. Collect and Review Existing Information W-Trans will collect data needed for the traffic impact analysis, including traffic counts and other information such as traffic signal timing, intersection geometry, etc. We anticipate that 10 study intersections(as determined by City of Pleasanton staff) will be analyzed as part of the traffic impact study. The final list of study intersections will need to be confirmed with City of Pleasanton staff prior to project commencement, as well as traffic model data and other items required for the traffic impact analysis. 2. Field Reconnaissance W-Trans will conduct field reconnaissance visits during the a.m. and p.m. peak periods on a typical weekday (Tuesday,Wednesday or Thursday). The purpose of this task is to confirm available data and information. We will observe and note the following: • Roadway cross-sections • Intersection lane geometry and configuration • Traffic control devices • Surrounding land uses • Sight distance • Locations of pedestrian, bicycle,and transit facilities W-Trans will collect new intersection turning movement counts during two analysis periods: • Weekday a.m. Peak (7:00—9:00 a.m.) • Weekday p.m. Peak(4:00—6:00 p.m.) 3. Trip Generation Estimates and Land Use Inventory W-Trans will estimate the number of net new trips added to the study area based on a three step process; trip generation,trip distribution patterns, and trip assignment. The trip generation for the weekday daily, a.m. (7 a.m.-9 a.m.)and p.m. (4 p.m.—6 p.m.) peak hours for the proposed development will be determined based on standard average trip rates published in the most recent edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers' Trip Generation. The trip distribution for the proposed development will be confirmed with City of Pleasanton staff prior to beginning analysis, including any assumptions regarding credits for pass by, linked, internal capture or TOD aspects of the proposed project. Trip distribution will be based on recent traffic analyses or travel forecast modeling conducted for the study area. Trip assignments will be based on the origin and destination patterns evaluated in the trip distribution, and the likely route of travel for the net-new trips. 4. Traffic Impact Analysis The analysis time periods for this study will be the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The analysis of study intersections will be conducted using the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual(HCM) methodologies
