�s requested, SRF has completed a traffic study for the proposed apartment development in the
southeast quadrant of the Blake Road/Oxford Street intersection in the City of Hopl�ins, 1�2N. The
main objecri�-e of tlus study is to qualitari�rely evaluate the traffic impacts associated�uith the proposed
apaitment development, particularly w7th respect to the adjacent neighborhood. This ��ill include a
revie�v of the e�sting and future traffic coliunes,parking,and the pioposed access/site cucularion. If
necessary, potential itnpxovetnents«�ill be identified to address any issues.
--�
Existing Conditions
r� re�-iew of the e�isting conditions was completed to establisli a baseline to compare future
conditions. The follow-ing informarion suintnarizes the esisting conditions.
Qata Gailection
Intersecrion tuining mo�retnent counts were collected by SRF duiing the a.m. and p.Ln. peak periods
the week of Februaiy 11th,2014 at the follo��ing locations:
• Blake Road and Oxford Street
• Blake Road and Cottageville Park/Alley�lccess
Obser�Tations were completed to idenrify carious characterisrics �vitlun the study area (i.e. roadway
geometiy,posted speed limits,and traffic controls). Currendj�,Blake Road is a five-lane roadway�uith
a conrinuous t�vo-way left-turn lane and a 35 mile per hour (mph) speed limit. Oxford Street is a tt�o
lane roadway��ith a 30 inph posted speed lunit.Both of the study intersections operate as unsignalized
intersections ��rith side-st�eet stop control. Existing geometrics, traffic controls, and �rolumes �vithin
the study area are shown in Figure 1.

Proposed Development
The proposed de��elopment is located in the southeast quadrant of the Blake Road/O�ford Street
intersection. This site is currendy occupied b� sL�: (6) duple�es that are planned to be remo��ed. The
proposed development consists of a total of 51 apartment units, made up of a combination of one-,
t�co-, and tluee-bedroom units (See Figure 2). Both surface (16 spaces) and stL�ctured (-�� spaces)
parking is planned. Access to these parking areas is pro�-ided�-ia the Cottageville Park/l�lle5��ccess.
This access is planned to be upgraded from the current alley configuration to a typical roadwa5�cross-
section as part of tlus development.
Trip�enerati�n Camparisc�n
To qualitati�rely assess the impacts of the proposed de�elopment, a trip generation compaiison
between existing and proposed land uses was completed. 13s pre�riously inenrioned,the proposed �1-
unit apartinent de��elopment�vill replace si�: (6) existing duple�:es (total of 12 units). Trip generation
estunates foL each of these land uses were de��eloped using the TTE Trip Ge�reratio»��-lasr»al, 9t/�Editio».
r, sLUYunaiy of the trip generation comparison is shown in Table 1,�uluch includes a.m. and p.m. peak
hour and daily trips.

Results of the trip generarion comparison indicate the proposed development is e�pected to generate
an additional 21 a.m. peak hour, 26 p.m. peak hour, and 269 daily trips. It should be noted that this
coinparison does not account for any modal(i.e. transit,«alking,or biking) reductions.Therefore,the
trip generation increase is consideied a consei�-ari�re estunate.
Trips from the proposed development were distiibuted throughout the study intersections based on
ezisring area travel patterns. Tlus includes accounring for a portion of velucles that are expected to
utilize/park on Oxford Street. The resultant }�ear 2016 (i.e. one j�ear after opening) condirions are
shown in Figure 3.

Paeking
The proposed de��elopinent is planning to construct a total of 61 parking spaces (i.e. 16 surface and
45 structured). To determine if this supply is adequate, a re��iew of the e�:pected parliing demand«�as
completed using the TTE Parkirrg Generation 111o�zual, 4t1� Edition. This approach identifies the 85th
percentile parking demand. Results of the paLking review indicates appro�imately 82 spaces«ould be
necessaiy to accommodate the proposed 51 apartment units, which is a 21 space deficit. Ho«e�rer,
obsenrarions along Oxford Street indicate there is an abundance of on-street paLl�ing a�Tailable adjacent
to the proposed development. Furthermore, other modes of tra�rel, particularly t�ansit, would likelp
also reduce the parking demand. Therefore, the proposed 61 space parliing supply is considered
adequate.
NefghbQrhood Ir�pacts
Since the drive��ays to the dedicated parking foL the proposed decelopment are located along the
Cottageville Park/rllley Access, a limited amount of velucles from the proposed development are
expected to tra�rel along Oxford Street. Depending on the actual txip generation and parking demand
for the proposed development,an increase of appro�unately 25 to 75 relucles per day can be expected
on Oxford Street. This equates to bet��een tt�o (2) and se�ren (7) vehicles during the peak hours. It
should be noted that tlus increase is not e�pected to create any operational issues.
Site Access/Circulation
�
Given the relarively low volume e�pected to utilize the Cottage�=ille Park/rllley r�ccess, there are not
expected to be any significant operational issues. It should be noted that the ainount of access on
Blake Road does ha�re an impact on the inobility for inotorists along Blake Road. Ideally, the
Cottageville Park/Alley r�ccess to Blake Road would be closed and relocated to Oxford Street.
Ho��ever, since there are not e�pected to be any significant issues �vith the access as proposed and a
direct access to Oxford Street may result is additional neighborhood unpacts,no changes to the access
are necessaiy.
Conclusions and Recommendatians
Based on oui revie��, the follo�ving conclusions and recorninendations are offexed for your
considerarion.
• Intersection turning movement counts were collected b5T SRF duiing the a.m. and p.rn. peak
periods the��eek of Februaiy 11th,2014
• The proposed development consists of a total of�1 apartment units, made up of a combination
of one-, two-,and diree-bedxoom units.
o This site is currently occupied b�r siY (6) duple�es that are planned to be removed.
o Both surface (16 spaces) and structured (45 spaces) parking is planned.

Cin�of Hopl;ins Page 7
• The proposed development is espected to generate an additiona121 a.m. peak hour,26 p.m. peak
hour, and 269 dai15� trips when compared to the current land use.
o Tlus compaLison does not account for any modal (i.e. transit,�x-alliing, or biking) reductions.
• A re�=ie��of the e�:pected parking demand was completed using the ITE Pa�;�i��g Ge1�Pration 1�1a����a1,
-�th Edition and identified an 8�th percentile parl�ing demand of approximately 82 spaces,�vhich is
a 21 space deficit.
o The a��ailability of on-street parking and potential parking reductions due to transit and other
modes of tra�-el would likel�� also reduce parl:ing demand, dierefore the proposed 61 spaces
axe considered adequate.
• �n increase of appro�imately 25 to 7� velucles pei day can be e�pected on Otford Street.
o Tlus equates to bettveen tt�o (2) and se�-en (7) vehicles dui-ing the peak hours.Tlus increase is
not expected to create any operational issues.
• Since there are not expected to be any significant issues with the access as proposed and a dv:ect
access to Oxford Street may result is additional neighborhood impacts, no changes to the access
are necessai-�r.
