Project Approach, Page 9 Project Approach - Section 3 Phase 6 – Right of Way Identification Task 1 – Right of Way Needs Determine permanent and temporary easements necessary for the project. Coordinate with the City and assist City staff and/or their right -of-way agent during the acquisition. It is assumed that others will perform the easement acquisition services. Task 2 - Right of Way Estimating Tabulate the right-of-way and easement acquisition required for the project and estimate the costs. Phase 7 – Traffic Analysis The traffic engineering analysis will provide a detailed look at existing and future conditions of the study corridor, taking into consideration future commuter and development growth and intersection control/ realignment alternatives. The traffic analysis is integral to this project as operational deficiencies will be used to identify recommended intersection improvements and associated costs. The following is an overview of our approach to the traffic engineering analysis: Task 1 – Existing Conditions Intersection Analysis Traffic data from this subtask will be developed using available existing data from Comprehensive plans and previous studies, as well as data collected in the field. We will collect new 13 -hour turning movement counts that include heavy vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians at the intersection locations identified in the RFP. We will complete a field review to observe existing traffic operations. The existing traffic data, intersection control, and geometry will then be used to complete the existing conditions analysis using Synchro/SimTraffic. Measures of effectiveness will include overall intersection and individual movement control delay and level of service and queuing. This data will be used for subsequent subarea and corridor analyses. Task 2 and 3 - Corridor Analysis and Intersection Analysis Kimley-Horn will conduct an initial sub-area study to assess potential larger system issues and frame the context of this corridor in relationship to other system elements including land use, route function, and access to the regional transportation system. This initial planning study will identify system issues, constraints, and opportunities. As part of this task, we will investigate/confirm the transportation feasibility of potential new linkages and/or changes in connections to the system. The primary purpose of the sub-area study is to review the entire area and to understand and establish the purpose of this corridor. It will review and document items such as: Adjacent parallel facilities and their functional classification Distance proposed corridor will be located from parallel facilities of lower, similar and higher functional class Access locations to TH 10 from the study area Review future land use within the study area and document anticipated positive and negative benefits of potential proposed alignments
