8 Page 1 of 7 MEMORANDUM To: Craig Casper, PPACG From: Maureen Paz de Araujo, Senior Transportation Planner Date: April 18, 2005 Subject: PPACG Concurrence on 2030 Forecast AM and PM Peak Hour Traffic Volumes Woodmen Road Environmental Assessment Introduction This memorandum updates earlier URS and DMJM+HARRIS memoranda (dated August 12, 2002 and December 27, 2002, respectively) requesting formal concurrence on 2025 traffic forecasts for use in the Woodmen Road Environmental Assessment (I-25 to SH 24). With the adoption of the PPACG 2030 Regional Transportation Plan, it has become necessary to update the planning horizon for the EA to the year 2030, as well as to document consistency of the Woodmen Road Environmental Assessment Proposed Action with the current, adopted 2030 Regional Transportation Plan. With this memorandum, the project team for Woodmen Road Environmental Assessment formally requests PPACG concurrence on the methodology used to prepare updated 2030 traffic volume forecasts, as well as PPACG confirmation that the that the Proposed Action is consisten t with the current, adopted PPACG 2030 Fiscally Constrained Regional Transportation Plan. The memorandum provides: 1) a description of the methodology used to prepare updated 2030 traffic forecasts for the EA, 2) a comparison of earlier smoothed, balanced 2025 peak hour volumes developed for the Woodmen Road Environmental Assessment to the smoothed, balanced 2030 peak hour volumes developed from the current PPACG travel demand model, and 3) documentation that the Woodmen Road Environmental Assessment Proposed Action is consistent with the current, adopted 2030 Fiscally Constrained Regional Transportation Plan. 1: Development of 2030 AM & PM Peak Hour Traffic Forecasts For update of AM and PM Peak Hour traffic forecasts to the year 2030, the project team for the Woodmen Road EA used the same methodology earlier to develop base year (2000) and 2025 no build and build peak hour turning movement volumes for the project, except that for 2030 Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) transportation model scenarios/ data sets from the new EMME/2 model for year 2000 and year 2030 were used. The new model s coding for the project corridor was reviewed to assure that the Proposed Action was accurately represented by the model. Based on network review, a modified Woodmen Road Proposed Action run of the model was completed for the 2030 planning horizon. The new model run assumed 6 through lanes between I-25 and Powers Boulevard, and 4 through lanes between Powers Boulevard and SH 24. Principal arterial classification and an average free-flow speed of 45 mph were assumed for the full length of the corridor. As for the earlier 2025 forecasting process, unadjusted, raw model assignments were not be used directly for Woodmen Road EA alternatives analysis. Rather, the smoothing process detailed below was employed. Model Output Adjustment The Woodmen Road EA project team used the following process to adjust/ post-process raw 2030 model assignments for the Powers Boulevard to SH 24 segment of the roadway: 1. Collect Traffic Volume Data Recent ADT counts were assembled from the City of Colorado Springs and El Paso County Department of Transportation traffic count databases. These counts were Agency Correspondence
9 Page 2 of 7 supplemented by available CDOT counts and counts taken from developer traffic impact studies. Turning movement counts for the AM and PM peak periods were conducted by the project team in September Validate PPACG 2000 Assignment to the Counted Traffic Volumes The AM peak hour, PM peak hour, and ADT counts were compared to the assigned volumes generated by the PPACG 2000 model in order to validate the Woodmen Road EA Corridor application of the PPACG model for the year 2000 base year. 3. Establish Smoothing Process The joint project team opted to use the smoothing process established by the East West Mobility Study, and previously approved by the PPACG. 4. Apply Smoothing Process to Adjust 2030 Model Outputs Using this process, the raw model assignment results were systematically smoothed to better replicate traffic volume ground count experience. Initially, 2000 model outputs were adjusted to achieve a better fit compared to the ground counts. The differences in year 2000 traffic counts compared to the 2000 model outputs were then applied to the 2030 model outputs as part of the smoothing process. In addition, increased traffic expected from adjacent future developments, but unaccounted for by the regional model was overlaid as appropriate. 5. Check Resulting Volumes for Reasonableness For this project, resulting volumes (year 2002 to 2030) were compared to historic growth rates along the Woodmen Road corridor. This was done for the ADT, AM peak hour and PM peak hour traffic volumes. Smoothing Process The smoothing formulas used for develop 2030 forecast volumes for the Woodmen Road EA are based on information obtained from the Transportation Research Board (TRB). Each roadway link that has a traffic count was smoothed and therefore was reassigned a 2030 volume. The 2030 volume assigned to each link is based on the percentile difference (i.e. relative difference) between the traffic count and 2000 model assigned volume. If the percentile difference between the traffic count and the 2000 model assigned volume is greater than 15%, then the absolute difference is used. If the percentile difference between the traffic count and the 2000 model assigned volume is less than or equal to 15%, then the average of the relative difference and absolute difference is taken. The formulas for the smoothing process are as follows: If the percentile difference between the count and assigned volume is >15%, then the absolute difference is added to the assigned volume. Smoothed # = AV + ABS AV = assigned volume; ABS = absolute difference If the percentile difference between the count and assigned volume is <15%, then the average of the relative difference and absolute difference is used. Smoothed # = ((AV * (1+ (%/100))) + (ABS + AV))/2 AV = assigned volume; ABS = absolute difference; % = percentile (relative) difference 9.0 Agency Correspondence 245
10 Page 3 of 7 The methodology described above was approved by PPACG in June Peak Hour Volumes Peak hour turning movements were prepared for the year 2000 base year and for the 2030 build scenario (2030 fiscally constrained RTP scenario as adjusted). A more detailed analysis was done for the peak hour projections since they are required input traffic operational analysis and the evaluation of access control options along the corridor. The same methodology was used for the City and County segments. Peak Hour 2000 Volumes For the year 2000 base year, primary turning movement counts were balanced iteratively, proportionately adjusting counted volumes and turn splits to achieve balance. For balanced volumes, the traffic sent from the upstream intersection equals traffic received at the downstream intersection. These spreadsheets, including calculated balanced a.m. and p.m. turn movements for 2000 are included as the second and third attached spreadsheets. Peak Hour 2030 Volumes The 2030 peak hour turning movements were calculated using an integrated process combining balanced 2000 turn movements and adjusted 2030 link/intersection peak hour approach volumes as input. An initial set of 2030 turn moves is first calculated through factoring link/ approach volumes based on 2000 directional share. These initial volumes are then iteratively balanced to the smoothed/adjusted 2030 approach volumes. In cases of balancing impasses or special circumstances, resulting balanced 2030 turn volumes were adjusted as follows: 1. Traffic projections from traffic impact studies for recent or proposed developments along Woodmen Road were used. The volumes used include the turning movements onto/off of Woodmen Road generated by the developments. Developments include all proposed commercial uses at the Powers/Woodmen interchange, new single family and commercial uses in the Falcon area, and apartment and townhome complexes west of Powers Boulevard. 2. Turning movements onto/off of Woodmen Road generated by existing land uses for which no traffic impact studies are available were estimated. This was done using existing traffic count data and trip generation rates from ITE. 3. All volumes were rounded to the nearest five vehicles. 4. When necessary, the other scenario s turning movements will be determined by adjusting the smoothed through volumes by the percentages calculated in Step 1 for the ADT values Agency Correspondence
11 Page 4 of 7 2: Comparative Assessment of 2025 Smoothed, Balanced AM & PM Peak Hour Volumes vs Smoothed, Balanced AM & PM Peak Hour Volumes The noise analysis, traffic operations analysis, and associated air quality hot spot analysis were completed for the Woodmen Road EA and accepted based on 2025 smoothed, balanced forecast traffic volumes developed and approved as detailed above. Significant deviations from the 2025 traffic forecasts required to update to the year 2030 could trigger a need to revise/update some completed EA tasks and analyses. For this reason a comparison of 2025 forecasts vs forecasts was made to assess whether the impact of moving to the 2030 planning horizon was significant, and whether it would be necessary to redo the traffic operations analysis. This comparison is provided to PPACG for information only, and PPACG is not asked to comment of these results. The comparative analysis spreadsheet included below presents the 2030 forecast results and provides comparative detail of the results with respect to a range of criteria. Adjusted 2030 volumes and both 2025 and 2030 smoothed, balanced volumes are tabulated for links of interest, as are raw traffic volumes for the 2000 (EMME/ Model), 2025 (Tranplan 2025 Model), and 2030 (EMME/ Model) model scenarios. This range of data gives a general idea of traffic growth trends. Adjusted 2000 ground count data were also tabulated alongside the assignment results for comparison to the PPACG EMME/ raw model assignments for the Year 2000 base year. Descriptive statistics/relationships are drawn among the data sets to assist in establishing a general comparison between the 2025 model results and 2030 model results. The percentage difference between the 2030 smoothed, balanced traffic volumes and the 2025 smoothed, balanced traffic volumes is also calculated and posted to summarize the relationship on a link by link basis, with overall facility average percentage difference calculated to provide a broader gauge of the comparison. 9.0 Agency Correspondence 247

15 Page 7 of 7 3: Consistency of the Woodmen Road Environmental Assessment Proposed Action with the PPACG 2030 Regional Transportation Plan The PPACG adopted, fiscally constrained 2030 Regional Transportation Plan includes widening of Woodmen Road between I-25 and Powers Boulevard to 6 through lanes. Between Powers Boulevard and US 24 the 2030 RTP includes widening of Woodmen Road to 4 lanes initially with an ultimate cross-section of 6 through travel lanes. The 2030 RTP also includes grade-separated interchanges at selected intersections along the full corridor. The Proposed Action evaluated for the Woodmen Road EA is consistent with the adopted, fiscally constrained 2030 RTP. 9.0 Agency Correspondence 251
