8.B. - Page 129 TIWA=Trans Memorandum Date: October 27, 2017 Project: RC1006 To• Ms. Lindy Chan From• Smadar Boardman Senior Planner sboardman@w-trans.com City of Redwood City Subject• Redwood City EI Camino Real Complete Streets Corridor Plan Traffic Analysis As requested, W -Trans has prepared a traffic analysis for the EI Camino Real Complete Street Corridor Study. The segment of EI Camino Real runs from Edgewood Avenue in the north to Oakwood Drive -Dumbarton Avenue in the south. This study explores opportunities to improve mobility along the corridor for all users, with specific attention focused on vehicle traffic circulation, and vehicle interaction with bicycles and pedestrians. Existing Traffic Operation Following is a summary of existing operation with the current geometric configuration of EI Camino Real along the corridor. The performance measures shown for the existing condition analysis are Level of Service, travel time, and corridor delay. Operating conditions during the a.m. and p.m. peak periods were evaluated to capture the highest volumes on the local transportation network. The morning peak hour occurs between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. and reflects conditions during the home to work or school commute, while the p.m. peak hour occurs between 4:00 and 6:00 p.m. and typically reflects the highest level of congestion during the homeward bound commute. Transportation data, including intersection traffic volumes, pedestrian volumes, and bicycle volumes, were conducted in March 2016 at the intersections of EI Camino Real/Jefferson Avenue and EI Camino Real/Maple Street, and in February 2015 at EI Camino Real/Roosevelt Avenue. The remaining counts at the study intersections were conducted in May 2016. A summary of the intersection level of service calculations is contained in Table 1, and copies of the Level of Service calculations are attached. The intersections are currently operating acceptably, at LOS D or better overall during both peak hours. The eastbound and westbound stop controlled approaches at EI Camino Real/Hazel Avenue - Laurel Avenue operate deficiently at LOS F, though the intersection is operating acceptably overall during the a.m. and p.m, peak hours due to the free flow conditions on EI Camino Real. 505 171n Street, 2na Floor Oakland, CA 94612 510.444.2600 w-trans.com SANTA ROSA • OAKLAND • SAN JOSE
