Revised Traffic Impact Study March 27,2008 <br /> Proposed CEMEX Mining Site Page 12 <br /> 6A—Road Segment Analyses <br /> The results of the road segment level-of-service analyses are presented in Table 6. The HCS+ <br /> r, computer program, which incorporates the procedures outlined in the 2000 Highway Capacity <br /> Manual, was utilized in the road segment analyses. The analysis output is included in Appendix C. <br /> It should be noted that the road segment analyses incorporate a PCE of 1.7 as specified by the 2000 <br /> ` Highway Capacity Manual and that a high percentage of truck traffic occurs at many of the study <br /> road segments. <br /> Table 6 <br /> Road Segment Level of Service Summary—Weekday A.M.Peak Hour <br /> Near- Near-Term Cumulative Cumulative <br /> Road Segment Existing Term With Protect without With Protect <br /> ` Without Haul Haul Project Haul Haul <br /> Project Route I Route 3 Route 1 Route 3 <br /> Bird Road:Blewett to SR 132 A A B A B C B <br /> SR 132:Chrisman to Bird F F F F F F F <br /> it SR 132:Bird to I-5 B B C C D D D <br /> SR 132:I-5 to Koster F F F F F F F <br /> SR 132:Koster to SR 33 F F F F F F F <br /> SR 132: SR 33 to McCracken F F F F F F F <br /> Blewett: Bird to I-5 A A A A A A A <br /> Blewett: I-5 to Koster A A A A A A A <br /> L Blewett: Koster to Welt A A A A A A A <br /> Welty:Blewett to SR 33 A A A A A A A <br /> Welty: SR 33to SR 132 A A A A A A A <br /> LA discussion of each study road segment is presented below. <br /> Bird Road between Blewett Road and SR 132 <br /> L Bird Road currently operates at acceptable levels of service and is expected to continue to operate at <br /> acceptable levels of service with the Project through the year 2025. <br /> SR 132 between Interstate 580 and McCracken Road <br /> L The road segment analyses indicate that the segments of SR 132 that consist of only one lane in each <br /> direction are currently operating at unacceptable levels of service. Where SR 132 is a four-lane <br /> divided highway,the road segment operates at acceptable levels of service. With construction of the <br /> L Project, similar levels of service are expected to result. This indicates that SR 132 should be <br /> widened to include four lanes in each direction in the near future. The Project may be required to <br /> ! contribute an equitable share of the cost of the widening. With construction of two lanes in each <br /> ` <br /> direction and the eventual conversion to a freeway, SR 132 is expected to experience acceptable <br /> levels of service through the year 2025. <br /> ` Blewett Road between Bird Road and Welty Road <br /> Blewett Road currently operates at acceptable levels of service and is expected to continue to operate <br /> L at acceptable levels of service with the Project through the year 2025. <br /> Welty Road between Blewett Road and SR 132 <br /> Welty Road currently operates at acceptable levels of service and is expected to continue to operate <br /> i. at acceptable levels of service with the Project through the year 2025. <br /> L <br /> it <br />
