Northbound the intersection operates at an acceptable LOS during the PM peak hour. In the PM peak hour southbound
traffic traveling thought the intersection to go to destinations south of the site and those heading southbound making a
right turn to go west onto Victory Road are over.

Thank you, Sonya.

Though her last sentence didn't make sense to me: "We can’t require improvement to the intersection since the sight
generated traffic does not contribute to the failing movements – southbound through and right turns. "
What about Northbound impact?
Thank you.

Sonya,
They submitted several different traffic studies and the numbers in the staff report are based on the final report dated
May 21. Additionally, some of the information in the report is incorrect and our traffic staff provided some
information.
The 4% is listed for Eagle Road north of Victory with a right-in/right-out.
For Victory Road east of Eagle the study reports that with the right a right-in/right-out on Eagle it is about 10% of the
total traffic (2% with a full access on Eagle Road) Regardless, no mitigation is required as this section of Victory Road is
listed as a funded improvement for widening to 5 lanes between 2026 and 2030.
We can’t require improvement to the intersection since the sight generated traffic does not contribute to the failing
movements – southbound through and right turns.
Let me know if this is what you needed.
Mindy

Sonya,
Cleaning up that email string and including all members for my question. Hopefully you can shed some light
on these having to do with the traffic study:
1. The traffic study done by Thompson states that traffic on Victory is approximately 10% of the total traffic
on that segment. However, in paragraph B.2.c. of the ACHD study notes that traffic is 4% of daily total
(Eagle, but not Victory) and therefore NO mitigation is required per 7205.3.1. However, as stated by
Thompson Engineers, traffic on Victory is approximately 10%. I'm curious why they are only using the 4% to
base their findings and not both. If traffic is 10% on Victory, why no mitigation?
2. Similarly, I'm concerned about the peak hour intersection traffic figures. The peak hour intersection count is
1,149 (based on the numbers of 790 on Eagle, 359 on Victory). Peak hour estimate for this project is 167,
which is roughly 15%,exceeding the 10% threshold. I was hoping to get an understanding of how they came
up with these numbers.
If you can perhaps help me understand this, that would be great!
