Due to the economic recession from 2007, traffic growth trends have stabilized or <br />may have trended downwards over the past five years. Therefore, Kittelson will <br />assess the representativeness of inventoried traffic counts that are up to five years <br />old to reflect baseline conditions. Kittelson will compare existing and new count <br />data to historical data and recommend adjustments to reflect weekly and seasonal <br />variation. <br />Based on the traffic count inventory developed, Kittelson may recommend new <br />data collection needs. After approval by the City staff of a data collection plan, <br />Kittelson will administer the data collection work task through a third -party firm. <br />All requisite encroachment permits (City, County and Caltrans as appropriate) will <br />be processed prior to the data collection effort. <br />For purposes of scoping, Kittelson anticipates up to 25 intersection turning <br />movement count locations. Intersection data collection will be performed during <br />one weekday AM and PM peak 2 -hour period and will collect pedestrian and <br />bicycle counts and vehicle counts. After all traffic count data has been processed <br />and input, Kittelson will perform the existing condition traffic operations analysis <br />for state highway segment, local roadways, intersection LOS analysis. <br />For purposes of scoping, Kittelson anticipates up to 25 2 -day 24-hour continuous <br />roadway segment counts with full vehicle classification. (Note: Additional scope <br />and budget would be required to count all 60 locations analyzed in the 2002 <br />General Plan. To the extent possible, Kittelson will use existing sources, recent <br />historical counts and Caltrans counts to supplement some missing locations). <br />However, depending on available data, the ADT analysis may focus on a smaller set <br />of segments. <br />After all traffic count data has been processed and input, Kittelson will perform the <br />existing condition traffic operations analysis for state highway segment, local <br />roadways, intersection LOS analysis. Intersection LOS will be based on existing <br />lane geometry, existing turn movement volumes, and intersection signal timing <br />sheets. <br />Collision history data available in SWITRS reports or from City's Citywide <br />Collision Database using the Crossroads software (to the extent City's database <br />software is available to Kittelson) will be reviewed by Kittelson to determine if <br />there are specific intersections or road segments that have experienced more <br />automobile, pedestrian, and/or bicyclist collisions than would be expected.
