Frewert Traffic Impact Study 3.3 ExISTING BICYCLE FACILITIES Bicycle paths, lanes and routes are typical examples of bicycle transportation facilities,which are defined by Caltrans as being in one of the following three classes: • Class I Multi-use Trail —a completely separated facility designed for the exclusive use of bicyclists and pedestrians with crossing points minimized. • Class II Bike Lane—a designated lane for the exclusive or semi-exclusive use of bicycles with through travel by motor vehicles or pedestrians prohibited, but with vehicle parking and cross- flows by pedestrians and motorists permitted. • Class III Bike Route—a route designated by signs or pavement markings and shared with pedestrians and motorists. There are no bicycle facilities within the immediate project vicinity.The nearest bike facility is a Class I multi-use path that runs parallel to State Route 120, located at the southern portion of the City of Lathrop. The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) Regional Bicycle, Pedestrian, and Safe Routes to School Master Plan, adopted September 2012, proposes several bicycle facilities in the City of Lathrop. In the project vicinity,the plan proposes Class III bike routes on Roth Road, Manthey Road, Harlan Road and Golden Valley Parkway. In the future, Golden Valley Parkway is planned to extend north to Roth Road, and thus will provide vehicle and bicycle access to the project site. 3.4 EXISTING TRANSIT FACILITIES The project vicinity is served by the San Joaquin Regional Transit District(RTD). RTD operates local, express, and inter-city buses within San Joaquin County. In the immediate project vicinity,there are no bus stops. Routes 90 and 91 run through the project area via Interstate 5 and Harlan Road. 3.5 EXISTING CONDITIONS DATA COLLECTION TJKM evaluated existing traffic conditions at selected study intersections during the a.m. and p.m. peak hours on a typical weekday. Intersection turning movement counts of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians were collected during weekday a.m. peak period (7:00-9:00 a.m.) and p.m. peak period (4:00-6:00 p.m.) on in 2018 for the study intersections along Roth Road, and on Wednesday,July 27, 2022,for the intersection at Manthey Road and Frewert Road (Intersection #5).Additionally, 24-hour volume counts (ADT)were collected on Manthey Road on Thursday, July 28, 2022. Under Existing Conditions, TJKM used the collected traffic counts for intersection and segment operations analyses. The traffic count data are included in Appendix A.The existing lane geometries and traffic control at each study intersection are illustrated on Figure 3 and intersection turning movement volumes at each study intersection are illustrated on Figure 4. 3.6 INTERSECTION LEVEL OF SFRVICE ANALYSIS--EXISTING CONDITIONS This scenario evaluates the study intersections based on collected peak hour traffic volumes, and existing lane geometry and traffic controls, as described above. The peak hour factors calculated from the existing Page 112 TJKM
