:•�• �� <br />The road nystem that is expected to meet the volume criteria for <br />the traffic study includes the followinq key intersections. <br />Theae interaections were chosen based upon the trig distribution <br />prepared for this and other projects and discussed in a later <br />section. Thoae intersections are: <br />121st Street S.E. at 19th Avenue S.E. <br />116th Street S.E. at 19th Avenue S.E. <br />112th Str.eet S.E. at 19th Avenue S.E. <br />Silver Lake Road at 112th Street S.E. <br />7th Avenue S.E, at 112th Straet S.E. <br />110th Street S.E. at 19th Avenue S.E. <br />�OOth Street S.E. at 19t•h Avenue S.E. <br />E1 Capitan Way/I-5 Ramp at 19th Avenue S.E. <br />S.R. 526 ai• Hroadway Avenue <br />In addition, the site's access point with 121st Street S.E. will <br />alsu be included for the case that assumes the project in place <br />and fully occupied. <br />Traffic Characteristics <br />Current (1990) p.m. peak hour traEfic volume data is shown on <br />Figure 2. The peak hour data for the+ majorlty is taken from the <br />"Family Tree Apartments " traffic report as prepared by <br />Transportation Planning and Enqineerinq (TP6E). Traffic data at <br />the 172th Street S.E./Silver Lake Road and the 121st Street <br />S.E./19th Avenue S.E. intersections was collected by this firm <br />in early December 1990. Since 7th Avenue S.E. is presently <br />closed due to construction, data for the 7th Avenue S.E./112th <br />Street S.E. int�rsection is estimated from prior (1988) counts <br />and averaqe daily traffic volumes collected in May 1990. <br />Secause recent traffic counts and analysis in the area has shown <br />that the p.m. peak hoar is the most critical in tezms of volume <br />and level of service, a.m. peak hour data will not be presented <br />:n this report. The p.m. peak should be considered as the <br />"design hour". <br />Trucic tra!!ic was lairly moderate in the in the p.m. peak hour <br />with heavy vehicles �enerally representing less than 2 percent <br />o£ the totnl traffic. Pedestrian volumes were sufficiently low <br />so as to be insiqnificant in terms of analysis. <br />Geometric conditions, truck, and bus factors are noted in the <br />appendix as a part of the data input for the capacity <br />calculations.
