Item 4G4G
M E M O R A N D U M
(November 1, 2016)
To: Shana Yelverton, City Manager
From: Rob Cohen, Director of Public Works
Subject: Approve Engineering Services Agreement with Kimley-Horn
and Associates, Inc. for Various Intersection Analyses
Citywide – Phase 2 in the amount of $68,000.
Action
Requested: Approve Engineering Services Agreement with Kimley -Horn and
Associates, Inc. for Various Intersection Analyses Citywide – Phase
2 in the amount of $68,000.
Background
Information: This project consists of analyzing the busiest intersections in the
City for peak hour turning movements. The nature of this project
was presented to the City Council at the 2016 Summer Retreat. At
the time, 26 intersections were listed to be analyzed. Due to
budget, the project was dissected in to two phases. Phase 1
included data collection at all the intersections for Phase 1 and
Phase 2. Phase 1 also included review of 17 of the most prominent
intersections and initial recommendations for improvements. The
Phase 1 analysis was authorized by the City Manager in August of
2016 with funds from the FY16 budget. Four intersections have
been added to the list. Phase 2 includes analysis of the remaining
12 intersections and the report with prioritization and planning-level
costs for both phases.
The analysis will consist of traffic counts and field observation of
intersection constraints. Recommendations will be made regarding
signal timing, signal phasing, approach lane allocation, roadway
alignments, intersection geometry and pedestrian enhancements.
The remaining intersections to be studied include:
Intersections for Analysis
Major Minor
1 Dove Rd N Peytonville Ave
2 Dove Rd Shady Oaks Dr
3 Dove Rd White Chapel Blvd
4
N Peytonville Ave/Southridge Lakes
Pkwy
N Peytonville Ave/Raven
Bend Ct
5 Shady Oaks Dr W Highland St/Turnberry ln
6 N Carroll Ave E Highland St
7 W Continental Blvd Davis Blvd
8 W Continental Blvd Peytonville Avenue
9 W Continental Blvd White Chapel Blvd
10 W Continental Blvd Byron Nelson Pkwy
11 W Continental Blvd N/S Carroll Ave
12 W Continental Blvd S Kimball Ave
Field Observations
The ENGINEER will perform a site visit during the AM and PM peak
periods to observe sight distance constraints, intersection
operations and geometry, excessive queuing (extending beyond
turn bays), crosswalk locations, and the overall context of the study
intersections. The field observations are anticipated to occur after
initial traffic analysis is completed based on the data collected in
Task 1. This initial analysis will identify potential issues to be field
verified.
Traffic Analysis
The ENGINEER will perform the following tasks:
Review the volume data and input into the intersections listed in
Task 1 using Synchro software, using the FM 1709 corridor network
from 2014 as the starting point;
Obtain existing traffic signal timing based on field observations and
controller setting sheets;
Build an AM peak and PM peak Synchro network for the study
intersection listed in Task 1.
Evaluate the existing intersection operations during the AM and PM
peak hour using existing traffic volumes;
Prepare peak hour traffic signal warrant analyses at the included
unsignalized intersections;
Review other studies that have been recently performed or are
currently underway for proposed intersection improvements. These
studies could include available Traffic Impact Analyses for
developments, the SH 114 frontage road study, the Kirkwood (from
SH 114 to Dove) traffic signal warrant study, and the ADA
Transition Plan.
Review parcel data to approximate ROW at intersections to
understand ROW implications.
Recommendations
The ENGINEER will provide recommendations that could include
the following:
Intersection traffic signal retiming;
Improved phasing (e.g. lead/lag traffic signal phasing optimization);
Re-allocation of existing approach lanes to better serve intersection
traffic volumes;
Roadway network modifications such as realignments or new
connections to relieve traffic;
Intersection geometric improvements, such as turn lanes; and
Pedestrian enhancements.
Memorandum
The findings will be documented in a draft technical memorandum
and presented to the CITY for review. The memorandum will
document the observed traffic conditions with recommendations.
Recommendations will be prioritized for short-term (0-5 years), mid-
term (6-10 years), and long-term (10+ years) improvements.
Planning level costs will be provided for the recommendations. One
round of comments from the CITY will be incorporated into the
memorandum and the final technical memorandum will be prepared
and submitted to the CITY.
The agreement has a separate task for analyzing the intersection of
SH 114 EB Frontage Road and State Street.
Financial
Considerations: Design services are budgeted in the FY17 CIP budget for this
project.
Strategic Link: The Intersection Analyses project links to the City’s strategy map
relative to focus area of Mobility. The specific corporate objectives
that are met by this project are to provide travel convenience within
the City & region. The critical business outcome is to enhance
mobility through aggressive traffic management initiatives and
capital project implementation.
