Nelson dated October 27, 1981 <br />County Administrator <br />1. Description and Conditions <br />The 16th Street corridor study is progressing as well as possible to date. <br />Traffic counting equipment purchasing is out for bids and until the new <br />equipment arrives, progress will be slow. Attached for your review are <br />the following: <br />1) Above referenced memo on the Corridor Study <br />2) Work Progress Schedule chart for 16th Street <br />3) 16th Street Vehicle Count Record for Station #1, located 300 feet <br />east of 10th Avenue <br />To elaborate on the analysis of 16th Street, the traffic count data and <br />other parameters will be inserted into standard Traffic Engineering <br />capacity equations. For example, -a typical equation for Intersection -- <br />capacity is as follows: <br />SVX = SV (phf) (L) (RT) (LT) (T) (C.) <br />Where X = desire level of service <br />= Signal Green time to cycle <br />Time Ratio <br />SV= Basic Service Volimle <br />phf = peak hour factor <br />L = Location adjustment <br />RT = Right Turn adjustment <br />LT = Left turn adjustment <br />T = Truck adjustment <br />The results from these equations will indicate where roads and intersections <br />are deficient to handle present traffic flows. Recommendations will be made to <br />solve these deficiencies. <br />
