The time of the highest volume between 4:00 <br />and 6:00 pm was identified as the afternoon peak hour. The peak hours, within the above <br />timeframes, were the same before and during the pilot – 8:00 to 9:00 am and 5:00 to 6:00 pm. <br />Outcome: The three days’ data was averaged and the results are summarized in Table 8. <br />Table 8 Average Peak Hour Traffic Volumes (number of vehicles) <br />Location <br />Morning Peak Hour <br />(8:00 - 9:00 AM) <br />Afternoon Peak Hour <br />(5:00 – 6:00 PM) <br />Pre- <br />Pilot <br />During <br />Pilot <br />Absolute <br />Change <br />Percent <br />Change <br />Pre- <br />Pilot <br />During <br />Pilot <br />Change Percent <br />Change <br />Eden Bower to <br />Lonesome Pine 1277 1406 129 10% 1149 1204 55 5% <br />McGarvey to <br />Jefferson 1027 941 -86 -8% 935 951 16 2% <br />Highland to <br />Alameda de las <br />Pulgas <br />1208 1451 243 20% 1325 1531 206 16% <br />Source: Quality Traffic Data (May 26-28, 2015 and October 20-22, 2015). <br />Volumes increased along the corridor by 2 to 20 percent except between McGarvey and <br />Jefferson, where it decreased by 8 percent in the morning peak hour. <br />Next Step: Continue to monitor daily and peak hour traffic volume. <br />Objective 5: Ensure that it is not more difficult to turn onto Farm Hill from side <br />streets. <br />Why: One concern expressed about the pilot project was that it would harder to turn onto <br />Farm Hill from side streets, due to all the traffic being funneled into a single lane. <br />Measurement: To evaluate how long drivers have to wait to turn left, the traffic consultants <br />videotaped the side streets of Lonesome Pine and Highland Avenue during the morning peak <br />8.A. - Page 20
