The arterial currently operates at LOS F for all peak periods in the <br />westbound direction and during the PM peak hour in the eastbound direction. <br />With optimized signal timings, all the study intersections are expected to operate at <br />acceptable LOS. The study arterial is expected to operate at LOS F for all peak periods in the <br />westbound direction and during the Midday and PM peak hour in the eastbound direction. <br />Installation of the proposed project is not expected to cause intersection operations to <br />deteriorate below standard. However, assuming that study intersection cycle lengths will be <br />maintained and that the Fairmont corridor will not be coordinated, arterial operations are <br />expected to deteriorate below standard (to LOS F) in the eastbound direction during the AM <br />and Midday and periods. <br />In summary, the road diet is expected to have a significant impact on arterial operations in the <br />eastbound direction during the Midday and PM peak periods. Some increased queuing is <br />expected. <br />Cumulative Year <br />For the Cumulative scenario (no project), all the study intersections are expected to operate at <br />acceptable LOS. The corridor is expected to operate at acceptable LOS eastbound during the <br />AM peak period. However, the arterial is expected to operate at LOS F westbound during the <br />AM peak period and during the PM peak period in both directions. <br />Installation of the proposed project is not expected to cause intersection operations to <br />deteriorate below standard. Assuming that the Fairmont Drive corridor will not be coordinated, <br />the corridor is expected to deteriorate to LOS F in the eastbound direction during the AM peak <br />period. <br />In general, queuing is expected to increase due to the project. During the PM peak period the <br />eastbound queue is expected to spill back from Bayfair Drive past Hesperian Boulevard. <br />In summary, the project is expected to have a significant impact on arterial operations in the <br />eastbound direction during the AM peak period. It is also expected to result in increased <br />queuing. <br /> <br /> <br />178
