Tract 6191
Draft Traffic Impact Analysis
April 11, 2018
Introduction and Summary
Introduction
This report describes a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) prepared by JLB Traffic Engineering, Inc. (JLB) for the
proposed Tentative Tract 6191 (Project) in the City of Fresno. The Project proposes to develop 110 single-
family residential units on 10 acres at the northwest quadrant of Armstrong Avenue and Fancher Creek
Drive. Based on data provided to JLB, the Project is consistent with the 2035 City of Fresno General Plan.
Figure 1 shows the location of the proposed Project site relative to the surrounding roadway network.
The purpose of this TIA is to evaluate the potential on- and off-site traffic impacts, identify short-term
roadway and circulation needs, determine potential mitigation measures, and identify any critical traffic
issues that should be addressed in the on-going planning process. The scope of work was prepared via
consultation with the City of Fresno, County of Fresno, and Caltrans staff.
Summary
The potential traffic impacts of the proposed project were evaluated in accordance with the standards set
forth by the level of service (LOS) policy of the City of Fresno, County of Fresno and Caltrans.
Existing Traffic Conditions
At present, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue is operating at LOS E during
the AM peak period. Although this intersection is recorded to operate at an unacceptable LOS, the
operations at this intersection are considered adverse but not significant.
Existing plus Project Traffic Conditions
To improve the safety of the Project access points, it is recommended that appropriate corner sight
distance be provided pursuant to the latest edition of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. With
appropriate corner sight distance, the Project driveways to be constructed will be located at points
that minimize traffic operational impacts to the existing roadway network.
At buildout, the Project is estimated to generate a maximum of 1,038 daily trips, 81 AM peak hour
trips and 109 PM peak hour trips.
It is recommended that the Project implement Class II bike lanes along its frontage to Fancher Creek
Drive.
To promote alternative modes of transportation to Temperance-Kutner Elementary School, it is
recommended that the Clovis Unified School District work with the City of Fresno and County of
Fresno to implement a Safe Routes to School plan and to seek grant funding to help build bikeways
and walkways where they are lacking within the one-mile radius of the existing school site.
Under this scenario, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue is projected to
operate at unacceptable LOS during the AM peak period. To improve the LOS at this intersection, it is
recommended that it be controlled by an all-way stop.

Tract 6191
Draft Traffic Impact Analysis

Near Term plus Project Traffic Conditions
The total trip generation for the near term projects is 114,164 daily trips, 9,164 AM peak hour trips
and 11,158 PM peak hour trips.
Under this scenario, the intersections of Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue and Armstrong Avenue
and Belmont Avenue are projected to operate at unacceptable LOS during one or both peak periods.
To improve the LOS at the intersections projected to exceed their LOS threshold, it is recommended
that the following improvements be implemented.
o Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Modify the eastbound through-right lane to a through lane;
Add an eastbound right-turn lane; and
Modify the traffic signal to accommodate the added lane.
o Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Modify the westbound through-right lane to a through lane;
Add a westbound right-turn lane;
Signalize the intersection with protective left-turn phasing and modify the intersection to
accommodate the added lane.
The Project accounts for 0.9 percent of the daily trips, 0.9 percent of the AM peak hour trips and 1.0
percent of the PM peak hour trips of growth in traffic, while the rest can be attributable to the near
term projects. Therefore, one can deduce that the majority of the mitigation measures presented
under this scenario may not be necessary immediately upon completion of the proposed Project.
Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions
Under this scenario, the intersections of Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue and Armstrong Avenue
and Belmont Avenue are projected to operate at unacceptable LOS during one or both peak periods.
To improve the LOS at the intersections projected to exceed their LOS threshold, it is recommended
that the following improvements be implemented.
o Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Add a second eastbound left-turn lane;
Add a second westbound left-turn lane;
Add a second westbound through lane with a receiving lane west of Fowler Avenue; and
Modify the traffic signal to accommodate the added lanes.
o Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Modify the westbound through-right lane to a through lane;
Add a second westbound through lane with a receiving lane west of Armstrong Avenue;
Add a westbound right-turn lane;
Implement overlap phasing of the southbound right-turn with the eastbound left-turn phase;
Signalize the intersection with protective left-turn phasing in all directions; and
Modify the intersection to accommodate the added lanes.
Queuing Analysis
It is recommended that the City consider left- and right-turn lane storage lengths as indicated in the
Queuing Analysis.

Project’s Equitable Fair Share
It is recommended that the Project contribute its equitable Fair Share as presented in Table VIII.
TIA Scope of Work
The study focused on evaluating traffic conditions at the existing study intersections that may potentially
be impacted by the proposed Project. On February 26, 2018, a Draft Scope of Work for the preparation of
a Traffic Impact Analysis for this Project was provided to the City of Fresno, County of Fresno and Caltrans
for their review and comment. The Draft Scope of Work was based on communication with City of Fresno
staff. Any comments to the proposed Scope of Work were to be provided by March 19, 2018.
On March 20, 2018, the City of Fresno approved the Draft Scope of Work as presented. Similarly, on
March 21, 2018, Caltrans approved the Draft Scope of Work as presented. On March 26, 2018, the County
of Fresno also approved the Draft Scope of Work as presented. The Draft Scope of Work and the
comments received from the lead agency and responsible agencies are included in Appendix A.
Study Facilities
The existing peak hour turning movement volume counts were conducted at the study intersections in
April 2018 while schools in the vicinity of the proposed Project were in session. The intersection turning
movement counts included pedestrian volumes. The traffic counts for the existing study intersections are
contained in Appendix B. The existing intersection turning movement volumes, intersection geometrics
and traffic controls are illustrated in Figure 2.
Study Intersections:
1. Fowler Avenue / Belmont Avenue
2. Armstrong Avenue / Belmont Avenue
Project Only Trips to State Facilities:
1. Fowler Avenue / State Route 180
Study Scenarios
Existing Traffic Conditions
This scenario evaluates the Existing Traffic Conditions based on existing traffic volumes and roadway
conditions from traffic counts and field surveys conducted in the year 2018.
Existing plus Project Traffic Conditions
This scenario evaluates total traffic volumes and roadway conditions based on the Existing plus Project
Traffic Conditions. The Existing plus Project traffic volumes were obtained by adding the 2018 Project Only
Trips to the Existing Traffic Conditions scenario. The 2018 Project Only Trips to the study intersections
were based on existing travel patterns, the Fresno COG Project Select Zone, the existing roadway network,
data provided by the developer, knowledge of the study area, engineering judgment, existing residential
and commercial densities, and the 2035 City of Fresno General Plan Circulation Element in the vicinity of
the Project. The Fresno COG Models for the Project Select Zone are contained in Appendix C.

Near Term plus Project Traffic Conditions:
This scenario evaluates total traffic volumes and roadway conditions based on the Near Term plus Project
Traffic Conditions. The Near Term plus Project traffic volumes were obtained by adding the Near Term
related trips to the Existing plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario.
Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions
This scenario evaluates total traffic volumes and roadway conditions based on the Cumulative Year 2035
plus Project Traffic Conditions. The Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project traffic volumes were obtained by
adding the 2035 Project Only Trips with the increment obtained from the Fresno COG traffic model runs
(Base Year 2018 and Cumulative Year 2035) and existing traffic counts. Under this scenario, the increment
method, as recommended by the Model Steering Committee was utilized to determine the Cumulative
Year 2035 plus Project traffic volumes. The Fresno COG Models are contained in Appendix C.
Level of Service Analysis Methodology
Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative index of the performance of an element of the transportation system.
LOS is a rating scale running from “A” to “F”, with “A” indicating no congestion of any kind and “F”
indicating unacceptable congestion and delays. LOS in this study describes the operating conditions for
signalized and unsignalized intersections.
The 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) is the standard reference published by the Transportation
Research Board and contains the specific criteria and methods to be used in assessing LOS. U-turn
movements were analyzed using HCM 2000 methodologies and would yield more accurate results for the
reason that HCM 2010 methodologies do not allow the analysis of U-turns. Synchro software was used to
define LOS in this study. Details regarding these calculations are included in Appendix D.
Criteria of Significance
The 2035 City of Fresno General Plan has established various degrees of acceptable level of service (LOS)
on its major streets, which are dependent on four (4) Traffic Impact Zones (TIZ) within the City. The
standard LOS threshold for TIZ I is LOS F, that for TIZ II is LOS E, that for TIZ III is LOS D, and that for TIZ IV is
LOS E. Additionally, the 2035 MEIR made findings of overriding consideration to allow a lower LOS
threshold than that established by the underlying TIZ’s. For those cases in which a LOS criterion for a
roadway segment differs from that of the underlying TIZ, such criteria are identified in the roadway
description. As all study facilities fall within TIZ III, LOS D is used to evaluate the potential significance of
LOS impacts to intersections and segments within this TIA pursuant to the 2035 City of Fresno General
Plan.
The County of Fresno has established LOS C as the acceptable level of traffic congestion on county roads
and streets that fall entirely outside the Sphere of Influence (SOI) of a City. For those areas that fall within
the SOI of a City, the LOS criteria of the City are the criteria of significance used in this report. LOS C is used
to evaluate the potential significance of LOS impacts to Fresno County intersections and segments, which
fall outside the City of Fresno SOI. In this case, all study facilities fall within the City of Fresno SOI and
therefore the City of Fresno LOS is utilized.

Tract 6191
Draft Traffic Impact Analysis
April 11, 2018
Caltrans endeavors to maintain a target LOS at the transition between LOS C and D on State highway
facilities consistent with the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation of Traffic Impact Studies dated December
2002. However, Caltrans acknowledges that this may not always be feasible and recommends that the
lead agency consult with Caltrans to determine the appropriate target LOS. In this TIA, however, all study
facilities fall within the City of Fresno. Therefore, the City of Fresno LOS thresholds are utilized.
Operational Analysis Assumptions and Defaults
The following operational analysis values, assumptions and defaults were used in this study to ensure a
consistent analysis of LOS among the various scenarios.
Yellow time consistent with the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD)
based on approach speeds
Yellow time of 3.2 seconds for left-turn phases
All-red clearance intervals of 1.0 second for all phases
Walk intervals of 7.0 seconds
Flashing Don’t Walk based on 3.5 feet/second walking speed with yellow plus all-red clearance
subtracted and 2.0 seconds added
All new or modified signals utilize protective left-turn phasing
A 3 percent heavy vehicle factor
The number of observed pedestrians at existing intersections was utilized under all study scenarios
An average of 3 pedestrian calls per hour at signalized intersections
At existing intersections, the observed approach Peak Hour Factor (PHF) is utilized in the Existing,
Existing plus Project and Near Term plus Project scenarios
A PHF of 0.92, or the existing PHF if higher, is utilized in the Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project
scenario

Existing Traffic Conditions
Roadway Network
The Project site and surrounding study area are illustrated in Figure 1. Important roadways serving the
Project are discussed below.
Fowler Avenue is an existing north-south two- to four-lane divided arterial in the vicinity of the proposed
Project. In this area, Fowler Avenue is a four-lane divided arterial north of Clinton Avenue and south of the
State Route 180 Interchange, and a two-lane undivided collector between Clinton Avenue and the State
Route 180 Interchange. Fowler Avenue extends south from the City of Clovis SOI and beyond the City of
Fresno SOI. The City of Fresno 2035 General Plan Circulation Element designates Fowler Avenue as a four-
lane divided arterial through the City of Fresno SOI. Furthermore, the 2035 City of Fresno General Plan
Circulation Element acknowledged that Fowler Avenue would exceed LOS D as a four-lane facility between
McKinley Avenue and Olive Avenue and Kings Canyon Road and Hamilton Avenue. However, City Council
made the appropriate findings to designate LOS E or F as the criteria of significance for these segments of
Fowler Avenue.
Belmont Avenue is an existing east-west two- to three-lane, arterial in the vicinity of the proposed Project.
In this area, Belmont Avenue extends through the City of Fresno SOI. The 2035 City of Fresno General Plan
Circulation Element designates Belmont Avenue as a two-lane collector between Grantland Avenue and
Cornelia Avenue, a four-lane collector between Cornelia Avenue and West Avenue, a two-lane collector
between West Avenue and Cedar Avenue, a four-lane collector between Cedar Avenue and Chestnut
Avenue, a four-lane arterial between Chestnut Avenue and Temperance Avenue, and a two-lane collector
east Temperance Avenue through the City of Fresno SOI. The 2035 City of Fresno General Plan Circulation
Element acknowledged that additional lanes would be necessary for Belmont Avenue between Parkview
Drive and Model Drive, Weber Avenue and Broadway Avenue, and Abby Street and Cedar Avenue by the
year 2035. However, City Council made the appropriate findings to designate LOS E or F as the criteria of
significance for these segments of Belmont Avenue.
Armstrong Avenue is an existing north-south two-lane divided scenic collector in the vicinity of the
proposed Project. Armstrong Avenue extends south from the City of Clovis SOI to Fancher Creek Drive. The
2035 City of Fresno General Plan Circulation Element designates Armstrong Avenue as two-lane collector
between the City of Clovis SOI and Belmont Avenue and a two-lane scenic collector between Belmont
Avenue and Fancher Creek Drive. The 2035 City of Fresno General Plan Circulation Element acknowledged
that Armstrong Avenue would exceed LOS D as a two-lane facility between McKinley Avenue and Olive
Avenue. However, City Council made appropriate findings to designate LOS E as the criteria of significance
for this segment of Armstrong Avenue as a two-lane facility.
State Route 180 is an existing east-west four- to six-lane highway in the vicinity of the proposed Project.
State Route 180 connects southeast and southwest Fresno with Downtown Fresno and has freeway-to-
freeway interchanges at State Route 41, State Route 99 and State Route 168. East of Fresno, State Route
180 also provides access to Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks, while west of Fresno, State Route
180 connects to the cities of Kerman and Mendota.

Results of Existing Level of Service Analysis
Figure 2 illustrates the Existing Traffic Conditions turning movement volumes, intersection geometrics and
traffic controls. LOS worksheets for the Existing Traffic Conditions scenario are provided in Appendix E.
Table I presents a summary of the Existing peak hour LOS at the study intersections.
At present, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue is operating at LOS E during the
AM peak period. For two-way stop-controlled intersections, the recorded delay is for the worst approach.
In this case, the worst approach was that for the northbound movement. On the day that these counts
were collected, this movement observed only two (2) northbound left-turn turn trips – the most difficult
movement to make. Furthermore, since the delay for each approach is an average of the delay
experienced by all the movements for that approach, the results are far worse than reality. If this
approach had only one (1) northbound right-turn trip – the easiest movement to make – on the day these
counts were collected, the average delay for the northbound approach would be recorded at 34.7
seconds, yielding LOS D. Therefore, the LOS operations at this intersection are considered adverse but not
significant.

Note: LOS = Level of Service based on average delay on signalized intersections and All-Way STOP Controls
LOS for two-way and one-way STOP controlled intersections are based on the worst approach/movement of the minor street.
Traffic Signal Warrants
The peak hour traffic signal warrant was prepared for the unsignalized intersection of Armstrong Avenue
and Belmont Avenue in the Existing Traffic Conditions scenario. This warrant is found in Appendix I. The
effects of right-turning traffic from the minor approach onto the major approach were taken into account
using engineering judgement pursuant to the CA MUTCD guidelines for the preparation of traffic signal
warrants. Under this scenario, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue does not satisfy
the peak hour signal warrant during either peak period. Therefore, based on the failure to meet the signal
warrant and engineering judgement, signalization of this intersection is not recommended.

Project Description
The Project proposes to develop 110 single-family residential units on 10 acres at the northwest quadrant
of Armstrong Avenue and Fancher Creek Drive. Based on data provided to JLB, the Project is consistent
with the 2035 City of Fresno General Plan. Figure 3 illustrates the latest Project Site Plan.
Project Access
Based on the latest Project Site Plan, access to and from the Project site will be from two (2) points
located along the north side of the Fancher Creek Drive extension west of Armstrong Avenue. One of the
access points is located approximately 850 feet west of Armstrong Avenue and is proposed as an exit only
access. The other access point is located approximately 1,200 feet west of Armstrong Avenue and is
proposed as a full access. JLB analyzed the location of the proposed access points relative to the existing
local roads and driveways in the Project’s vicinity. To improve the safety of the Project access points, it is
recommended that appropriate corner sight distance be provided pursuant to the latest edition of the
Caltrans Highway Design Manual. With appropriate corner sight distance, the Project driveways to be
constructed will be located at points that minimize traffic operational impacts to the existing roadway
network.
Trip Generation
Trip generation rates for the proposed Project were obtained from the 10th Edition of the Trip Generation
Manual published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). Table III presents the trip generation
for the proposed Project with trip generation rates for Single-Family Detached Housing. The proposed
Project is estimated to generate a maximum of 1,038 daily trips, 81 AM peak hour trips and 109 PM peak
hour trips.
Table II: Project Trip Generation
Note: d.u. = Dwelling Units
Trip Distribution
The trip distribution assumptions were developed based on existing travel patterns, the Fresno COG
Project Select Zone, the existing roadway network, data provided by the developer, knowledge of the
study area, engineering judgment, existing residential and commercial densities, and the 2035 City of
Fresno General Plan Circulation Element in the vicinity of the Project. Figure 4 illustrates the Project Only

Transit
Fresno Area Express (FAX) is the transit operator in the City of Fresno. At present, there are no FAX transit
routes that operate in the vicinity of the proposed Project. The closest is FAX Route 35, which runs on
Clovis Avenue and Belmont Avenue, approximately 1.40 miles to the west of the proposed Project. Route
35 operates at 30-minute intervals on weekdays and 45-minute intervals on weekends and its nearest stop
to the Project site is located on the north side of Belmont Avenue approximately 80 feet west of Clovis
Avenue. This route provides a direct connection to the Department of Motor Vehicles, Tower District,
Talking Book Library, the Post Office and the Social Security Office. Retention of the existing and expansion
of future transit routes is dependent on transit ridership demand and available funding.
Bikeways
Currently, bike lanes exist in the vicinity to the proposed Project site along Fowler Avenue, Belmont
Avenue and Armstrong Avenue. The City of Fresno “Bicycle, Pedestrian & Trails Master Plan” recommends
that Class II Bike Lanes be implemented on Fancher Creek Drive. Therefore, it is recommended that the
Project implement Class II bike lanes along its frontage to Fancher Creek Drive.
Safe Routes to School
Kindergarten through 12th grade students from the Project will be served by the Clovis Unified School
District. The Clovis Unified School District provides transportation for students who live in excess of an
established radius zone. The zone is a radius of 1 mile for grades Kindergarten through 6th and 2.5 miles
for grades 7th through 12th.
Based on the attendance area boundaries at the time of the preparation of this TIA, elementary school
students would attend Temperance-Kutner Elementary School located on the southeast corner of Olive
Avenue and Armstrong Avenue. Temperance-Kutner Elementary School is located 0.75 and 0.95 miles
from the nearest and farthest future home on the Project. Therefore, it is anticipated that the majority of
elementary school students will need to walk, bike or be driven to school. The most direct path from the
Project to the Temperance-Kutner Elementary School campus would begin from the southmost end of the
Project along the north side of Fancher Creek Drive. Students would proceed east along the north side of
Fancher Creek Drive towards the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Fancher Creek Drive. Students
would then proceed north along the west side of Armstrong Avenue towards the intersection of
Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue. The intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue is
controlled by a two-way stop on the approaches of Armstrong Avenue and contains unmarked crosswalks
on all approaches. It is anticipated that students would proceed to cross Belmont Avenue along the west
side of Armstrong Avenue and continue north along the west side of Armstrong Avenue towards the
intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Harvey Avenue. The intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Harvey
Avenue is controlled by a two-way stop on the approaches of Harvey Avenue and contains unmarked
crosswalks on all approaches. Although there is a lack of walkways on both sides of Armstrong Avenue, it
is anticipated that students would proceed to cross Harvey Avenue along the west side of Armstrong
Avenue and then cross Armstrong Avenue along the north side of Harvey Avenue. Once students are
positioned at the northeast corner of Armstrong Avenue and Harvey Avenue, students would proceed
north along the east side of Armstrong Avenue until reaching a campus entrance.

Draft Traffic Impact Analysis
April 11, 2018
Since the walking distance between the Project and the Temperance-Kutner Elementary School campus is
approximately 0.95 miles and there is a lack of walkways in between, it is anticipated that a large
percentage of elementary school students will likely be driven to school. To promote alternative modes of
transportation to Temperance-Kutner Elementary School, it is recommended that the Clovis Unified
School District work with the City of Fresno and County of Fresno to implement a Safe Routes to School
plan and to seek grant funding to help build bikeways and walkways where they are lacking within the
one-mile radius of the existing school site.
Based on the attendance area boundaries at the time of the preparation of this TIA, middle school
students would attend Reyburn Intermediate School located on the southeast quadrant of Gettysburg
Avenue and DeWolf Avenue. Reyburn Intermediate School is located 4.12 and 4.30 miles from the nearest
and farthest future home on the Project. Therefore, it is anticipated that middle school students will be
bused or driven from the Project to school.
Based on the attendance area boundaries at the time of the preparation of this TIA, high school students
would attend Clovis East High School located on the southeast quadrant of Gettysburg Avenue and
DeWolf Avenue. Clovis East High School is located 3.97 and 4.16 miles away from the nearest and farthest
future home on the Project. Therefore, it is anticipated that high school students will be bused or driven
from the Project to school.

Results of Existing plus Project Level of Service Analysis
The Existing plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario assumes that the existing roadway geometrics and
traffic controls will remain in place. Figure 5 illustrates the Existing plus Project turning movement
volumes, intersection geometrics and traffic controls. LOS worksheets for the Existing plus Project Traffic
Conditions scenario are provided in Appendix F. Table III presents a summary of the Existing plus Project
peak hour LOS at the study intersections.
Under this scenario, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue is projected to operate at
unacceptable LOS during the AM peak period. To improve the LOS at this intersection, it is recommended
that it be controlled by an all-way stop.

Traffic Signal Warrants
The peak hour traffic signal warrant was prepared for the unsignalized intersection of Armstrong Avenue
and Belmont Avenue in the Existing plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario. This warrant is found in
Appendix I. The effects of right-turning traffic from the minor approach onto the major approach were
taken into account using engineering judgement pursuant to the CA MUTCD guidelines for the preparation
of traffic signal warrants. Under this scenario, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue
does not satisfy the peak hour signal warrant during either peak period. Therefore, based on the failure to
meet the signal warrant and engineering judgement, signalization of this intersection is not
recommended.

Near Term plus Project Traffic Conditions
Description of Approved and Pipeline Projects
Approved and Pipeline Projects consist of developments that are either under construction, built but not
fully occupied, are not built but have final site development review (SDR) approval, or for which the lead
agency or responsible agencies have knowledge of. The City of Fresno, County of Fresno and Caltrans staff
were consulted throughout the preparation of this TIA regarding approved and/or known projects that
could potentially impact the study intersections. JLB staff conducted a reconnaissance of the surrounding
area to confirm the near term projects. Subsequently, it was agreed that the projects listed in Table IV
were approved, near approval, or in the pipeline within the proximity of the proposed Project.
The trip generation listed in Table IV is that which is anticipated to be added to the streets and highways
by these projects between the time of the preparation of this report and five years after buildout of the
proposed Project. As shown in Table IV, the total trip generation for the near term projects is 114,164
daily trips, 9,164 AM peak hour trips and 11,158 PM peak hour trips. Figure 6 illustrates the location of the
approved, near approval, or pipeline projects and their combined trip assignment to the study
intersections and segments under the Near Term plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario.

Results of Near Term plus Project Level of Service Analysis
The Near Term plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario assumes that the existing roadway geometrics and
traffic controls will remain in place. Figure 7 illustrates the Near Term plus Project turning movement
volumes, intersection geometrics and traffic controls. LOS worksheets for the Near Term plus Project
Traffic Conditions scenario are provided in Appendix G. Table V presents a summary of the Near Term plus
Project peak hour LOS at the study intersections.
Under this scenario, the intersections of Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue and Armstrong Avenue and
Belmont Avenue are projected to operate at unacceptable LOS during one or both peak periods. To
improve the LOS at the intersections projected to exceed their LOS threshold, it is recommended that the
following improvements be implemented.
Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue
o Modify the eastbound through-right lane to a through lane;
o Add an eastbound right-turn lane; and
o Modify the traffic signal to accommodate the added lane.
Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue
o Modify the westbound through-right lane to a through lane;
o Add a westbound right-turn lane;
o Signalize the intersection with protective left-turn phasing; and
o Modify the intersection to accommodate the added lane.
It should be noted that between the Existing Traffic Conditions and the Near Term plus Project Traffic
Conditions scenarios, the Project accounts for 0.9 percent of the daily trips, 0.9 percent of the AM peak
hour trips and 1.0 percent of the PM peak hour trips of growth in traffic, while the rest can be attributable
to the near term projects. Therefore, one can deduce that the majority of the mitigation measures
presented under this scenario may not be necessary immediately upon completion of the proposed
Project. However, if all of the near term projects are completed close to the completion date of the
proposed Project, the detailed recommended improvements presented under this scenario may be
necessary in order to improve the LOS to the City's target LOS threshold.

Draft Traffic Impact Analysis
April 11, 2018
Queuing Analysis
Table VII provides a queue length summary for left- and right-turn lanes at the study intersections under
all study scenarios. The queuing analyses for the study intersections are contained in the LOS worksheets
for the respective scenarios. Appendix D contains the methodologies used to evaluate these intersections.
Queuing analyses were completed using Sim Traffic output information. Synchro provides both 50th and
95th percentile maximum queue lengths (in feet). According to the Synchro manual, “the 50th percentile
maximum queue is the maximum back of queue on a typical cycle and the 95th percentile queue is the
maximum back of queue with 95th percentile volumes.” The queues shown on Table VII are the 95th
percentile queue lengths for the respective lane movements.
The Highway Design Manual (HDM) provides guidance for determining deceleration lengths for the left-
and right-turn lanes based on design speeds. Per the HDM criteria, “tapers for right-turn lanes are usually
un-necessary since the main line traffic need not be shifted laterally to provide space for the right-turn
lane. If, in some rare instances, a lateral shift were needed, the approach taper would use the same
formula as for a left-turn lane.” Therefore, a bay taper length pursuant to the Caltrans HDM would need to
be added, as necessary, to the recommended storage lengths presented in Table VII.
Based on the SimTraffic output files and engineering judgement, it is recommended that the storage
capacity for the following be considered for the Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions.
Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue
o Consider setting the storage capacity of the eastbound dual left-turn lanes to 275 feet.
o Consider setting the storage capacity of the eastbound right-turn lane to 250 feet.
o Consider setting the storage capacity of the westbound right-turn lane to 275 feet.
o The existing storage capacity of the northbound left-turn lane is projected to exceed that available
for the AM peak period in the Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario.
However, it is not possible to increase the storage capacity of the northbound left-turn lane
without reducing the existing storage capacity of the southbound left-turn pocket for the
intersection of Fowler Avenue and Grant Avenue. Therefore, it is recommended that this
movement be monitored.
o The existing storage capacity of the northbound right-turn lane is projected to be exceeded by the
Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario. However, it is recommended that
the City monitor this movement to determine if additional storage is warranted.
o The existing storage capacity of the southbound right-turn lane is projected to be exceeded by the
Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario. However, it is recommended that
the City monitor this movement to determine if additional storage is warranted.
Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue
o The existing storage capacity of the eastbound left-turn lane is projected to be exceeded by the
Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions scenario. However, it is recommended that
the City monitor this movement to determine if additional storage is warranted.
o Consider setting the storage capacity of the westbound right-turn lane to 125 feet.

Project’s Pro-Rata Fair Share of Future Transportation Improvements
The Project’s fair share percentage impact to study intersections projected to fall below their LOS
threshold and which are not covered by an existing impact fee program is provided in Table VIII. The
Project’s fair share percentage impacts were calculated pursuant to the Caltrans Guide for the Preparation
of Traffic Impact Studies. The Project’s pro-rata fair shares were calculated utilizing the Existing volumes,
2035 Project Only Trips and Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project volumes. Figure 2 illustrates the Existing
traffic volumes, Figure 8 illustrates the 2035 Project Only Trips, and Figure 9 illustrates the Cumulative
Year 2035 plus Project traffic volumes. Since the critical peak period for the study facilities was
determined to be during the PM peak, the PM peak volumes are utilized to determine the Project’s pro-
rata fair share.
It is recommended that the Project contribute its equitable fair share as listed in Table VIII for the future
improvements necessary to maintain an acceptable LOS. However, fair share contributions should only be
made for those facilities or portion thereof currently not funded by the responsible agencies roadway
impact fee program(s), as appropriate. For those improvements not presently covered by local and
regional roadway impact fee programs, it is recommended that the Project contribute its equitable fair
share. Payment of the Project’s equitable fair share in addition to the local and regional impact fee
programs would satisfy the Project’s traffic mitigation measures.
This study does not provide construction costs for the recommended mitigation measures; therefore, if
the recommended mitigation measures are implemented, it is recommended that the developer work
with the City of Fresno to develop the estimated construction cost.

Tract 6191
Draft Traffic Impact Analysis
April 11, 2018
Conclusions and Recommendations
Conclusions and recommendations regarding the proposed Project are presented below.
Existing Traffic Conditions
At present, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue is operating at LOS E during
the AM peak period. Although this intersection is recorded to operate at an unacceptable LOS, the
operations at this intersection are considered adverse but not significant.
Existing plus Project Traffic Conditions
To improve the safety of the Project access points, it is recommended that appropriate corner sight
distance be provided pursuant to the latest edition of the Caltrans Highway Design Manual. With
appropriate corner sight distance, the Project driveways to be constructed will be located at points
that minimize traffic operational impacts to the existing roadway network.
At buildout, the Project is estimated to generate a maximum of 1,038 daily trips, 81 AM peak hour
trips and 109 PM peak hour trips.
It is recommended that the Project implement Class II bike lanes along its frontage to Fancher Creek
Drive.
To promote alternative modes of transportation to Temperance-Kutner Elementary School, it is
recommended that the Clovis Unified School District work with the City of Fresno and County of
Fresno to implement a Safe Routes to School plan and to seek grant funding to help build bikeways
and walkways where they are lacking within the one-mile radius of the existing school site.
Under this scenario, the intersection of Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue is projected to
operate at unacceptable LOS during the AM peak period. To improve the LOS at this intersection, it is
recommended that it be controlled by an all-way stop.
Near Term plus Project Traffic Conditions
The total trip generation for the near term projects is 114,164 daily trips, 9,164 AM peak hour trips
and 11,158 PM peak hour trips.
Under this scenario, the intersections of Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue and Armstrong Avenue
and Belmont Avenue are projected to operate at unacceptable LOS during one or both peak periods.
To improve the LOS at the intersections projected to exceed their LOS threshold, it is recommended
that the following improvements be implemented.
o Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Modify the eastbound through-right lane to a through lane;
Add an eastbound right-turn lane; and
Modify the traffic signal to accommodate the added lane.
o Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Modify the westbound through-right lane to a through lane;
Add a westbound right-turn lane;
Signalize the intersection with protective left-turn phasing; and
Modify the intersection to accommodate the added lane.

Tract 6191
Draft Traffic Impact Analysis
April 11, 2018
The Project accounts for 0.9 percent of the daily trips, 0.9 percent of the AM peak hour trips and 1.0
percent of the PM peak hour trips of growth in traffic, while the rest can be attributable to the near
term projects. Therefore, one can deduce that the majority of the mitigation measures presented
under this scenario may not be necessary immediately upon completion of the proposed Project.
Cumulative Year 2035 plus Project Traffic Conditions
Under this scenario, the intersections of Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue and Armstrong Avenue
and Belmont Avenue are projected to operate at unacceptable LOS during one or both peak periods.
To improve the LOS at the intersections projected to exceed their LOS threshold, it is recommended
that the following improvements be implemented.
o Fowler Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Add a second eastbound left-turn lane;
Add a second westbound left-turn lane;
Add a second westbound through lane with a receiving lane west of Fowler Avenue; and
Modify the traffic signal to accommodate the added lanes.
o Armstrong Avenue and Belmont Avenue
Modify the westbound through-right lane to a through lane;
Add a second westbound through lane with a receiving lane west of Armstrong Avenue;
Add a westbound right-turn lane;
Implement overlap phasing of the southbound right-turn with the eastbound left-turn phase;
Signalize the intersection with protective left-turn phasing in all directions; and
Modify the intersection to accommodate the added lanes.
Queuing Analysis
It is recommended that the City consider left- and right-turn lane storage lengths as indicated in the
Queuing Analysis.
Project’s Equitable Fair Share
It is recommended that the Project contribute its equitable Fair Share as presented in Table VIII.

Subject: Proposed Draft Scope of Work for the Preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis
for Tentative Tract 6191 at the Northwest quadrant of Armstrong Avenue and
Fancher Creek Drive in the City of Fresno (JLB Project 004-057)
Dear Mrs. Gormley,
JLB Traffic Engineering, Inc. (JLB) hereby submits this Draft Scope of Work for the preparation of a
Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) for Tentative Tract Map 6191. The project will be located at the
northwest quadrant of Armstrong Avenue and Fancher Creek Drive in the City of Fresno. Per
information provided to JLB, the project is consistent with the City of Fresno General Plan. An aerial of
the project vicinity and the project site plan are shown in Exhibits A and B respectively. The purpose of
this TIA is to evaluate the potential on and off-site traffic impacts, identify short-term roadway and
circulation needs, determine potential mitigation measures, and identify any critical traffic issues that
should be addressed in the on-going planning process. In order to evaluate the on and off-site traffic
impacts of the proposed project, JLB proposes the following draft scope of work.
Scope of Work
• Request a Fresno Council of Governments (Fresno COG) traffic forecast model run for the project
(Select Zone Analysis) which will include the project and the streets to be analyzed. The Fresno COG
traffic forecasting model will be used to forecast traffic volumes for the Base Year and Cumulative
Year 2035 plus Project scenarios.
• JLB will evaluate existing and forecast levels of service (LOS) at the study intersection(s). JLB will use
HCM 2010 methodologies within Synchro to perform this analysis for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours.
JLB will identify the causes of poor LOS.
• Evaluate onsite circulation and provide recommendations as necessary to improve circulation to the
site and within the project site.
• As necessary obtain recent (less than two years) or schedule and conduct new traffic counts at the
study facility (ies).
• Perform a site visit to observe existing traffic conditions, especially during the a.m. and p.m. peak
hours. Existing roadway conditions, including geometrics and traffic controls, will be verified.
• Forecast trip distribution based on turn count information, input from Fresno COG staff, proposed
school boundaries, and knowledge of the existing and planned circulation network in the vicinity of
the project.

• Prepare California Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (CA MUTCD) peak hour signal
warrants for un-signalized study intersections.
• JLB will conduct a qualitative safe routes to school evaluation from the Project site to the K-12
school(s) which would most likely serve the Project on opening day.
• JLB will qualitatively analyze existing and planned transit routes in the project’s vicinity.
• JLB will qualitatively analyze existing and planned bikeways in the project’s vicinity.
Study Scenarios:
1. Existing traffic conditions with proposed improvement measures (if any);
2. Existing plus Project traffic conditions with proposed mitigation measures (if any);
3. Cumulative Near Term plus Project (include pending and approved projects) traffic conditions
with mitigation measures (if any); and
4. Cumulative Year (2035) plus Project traffic conditions with mitigation measures (if any).
Weekday peak hours to be analyzed:
1. 7-9 a.m. peak hour
2. 4-6 p.m. peak hour
Study Intersections:
1. Belmont Avenue / Fowler Avenue
2. Belmont Avenue / Armstrong Avenue
Queuing analysis is included in the proposed scope of work for the study intersection(s) listed above
under all study scenarios. This analysis will be utilized to recommend minimum storage lengths for
left and right turn lanes at all study intersections.
Study Segments:
1. None
Project Only Trip Assignment to the Following State Facilities:
1. SR 180 / Fowler Avenue
Access to the Project
Access to and from the project site is primarily from two private local streets. The two private local
streets would connect to Fancher Creek Drive at approximately 800 and 1,100 feet west of Armstrong
Avenue respectively. The access point closest to Armstrong Avenue is proposed as an exit only, while the
second access point is proposed as the main entrance and exit and is proposed as a full access point.
Additional project details are found on Exhibit B.
Trip Generation
Below you will find the trip generation table for the proposed project pursuant to the 10th Edition of the
Trip Generation Manual with trip generation rates for Single Family Detached Housing units. At build-out
the Project is estimated to generate a maximum of 1,038 daily trips, 81 AM peak hour trips and 109 PM
peak hour trips.

Subject: Traffic Modeling Request for the Preparation of a Traffic Impact Analysis for Tract
6191 Located on the Southwest Quadrant of Belmont Avenue and Armstrong
Avenue in the City of Fresno (JLB Project 004-057)
Dear Mr. Han,
JLB Traffic Engineering, Inc. (JLB) hereby requests traffic modeling for the Project described below. Tract
6191 (Project) proposes to build a 110-unit single family subdivision on 10.00 net acres on the
southwest quadrant of Belmont Avenue and Armstrong Avenue in the City of Fresno. Based on
information provided to JLB, the Project is consistent with the City of Fresno General Plan. An aerial of
the Project vicinity is shown in Exhibit A while the Project site plan is shown in Exhibit B.
The purpose of this TIA is to evaluate the potential on- and off-site traffic impacts, identify short-term
roadway and circulation needs, determine potential mitigation measures and identify any critical traffic
issues that should be addressed in the on-going planning process.

Appendix D: Methodology
Levels of Service Methodology
The description and procedures for calculating capacity and level of service (LOS) are found in the
Transportation Research Board, Highway Capacity Manual (HCM). The HCM 2010 represents the
research on capacity and quality of service for transportation facilities.
Quality of service requires quantitative measures to characterize operational conditions within a traffic
stream. Level of service is a quality measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream,
generally in terms of such service measures as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic
interruptions, comfort and convenience.
Six levels of service are defined for each type of facility that has analysis procedures available. Letters
designate each level of service (LOS), from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions
and LOS F the worst. Each LOS represents a range of operating conditions and the driver’s perception of
these conditions. Safety is not included in the measures that establish a LOS.
Urban Streets (Automobile Mode)
The term “urban streets” refers to urban arterials and collectors, including those in downtown areas.
Arterial streets are roads that primarily serve longer through trips. However, providing access to
abutting commercial and residential land uses is also an important function of arterials. Collector streets
provide both land access and traffic circulation within residential, commercial and industrial areas. Their
access function is more important than that of arterials, and unlike arterials their operation is not always
dominated by traffic signals. Downtown streets are signalized facilities that often resemble arterials.
They not only move through traffic but also provide access to local businesses for passenger cars, transit
buses, and trucks. Pedestrian conflicts and lane obstructions created by stopping or standing taxicabs,
buses, trucks and parking vehicles that cause turbulence in the traffic flow are typical of downtown
streets.

The speed of vehicles on urban streets is influenced by three main factors, street environment,
interaction among vehicles and traffic control.
The street environment includes the geometric characteristics of the facility, the character of roadside
activity, and adjacent land uses. Thus, the environment reflects the number and width of lanes, type of
median, driveway/access point density, spacing between signalized intersections, existence of parking,
level of pedestrian and bicyclist activity and speed limit.
The interaction among vehicles is determined by traffic density, the proportion of trucks and buses, and
turning movements. This interaction affects the operation of vehicles at intersections and, to a lesser
extent, between signals.
Traffic controls (including signals and signs) forces a portion of all vehicles to slow or stop. The delays
and speed changes caused by traffic control devices reduce vehicle speeds; however, such controls are
needed to establish right-of-way.

Levels of Service (automobile Mode)
The average travel speed for through vehicles along an urban street is the determinant of the operating
level of service (LOS). The travel speed along a segment, section or entire length of an urban street is
dependent on the running speed between signalized intersections and the amount of control delay
incurred at signalized intersections.
LOS A describes primarily free-flow operation. Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to
maneuver within the traffic stream. Control delay at signalized intersections is minimal. Travel speeds
exceed 85 of the base free flow speed (FFS).
LOS B describes reasonably unimpeded operation. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is
only slightly restricted and control delay at the boundary intersections is not significant. The travel
speed is between 67 and 85 percent of the base FFS.
LOS C describes stable operations. The ability to maneuver and change lanes in midblock location may
be more restricted than at LOS B. Longer queues at the boundary intersections may contribute to lower
travel speeds. The travel speed is between 50 and 67 percent of the base FFS.
LOS D indicates a less stable condition in which small increases in flow may cause substantial increases
in delay and decreases in travel speed. This operation may be due to adverse signal progression, high
volumes, inappropriate signal timing, at the boundary intersections. The travel speed is between 40 and
50 percent of the base FFS.
LOS E is characterized unstable operation and significant delay. Such operations may be due to some
combination of adverse progression, high volume, and inappropriate signal timing at the boundary
intersections. The travel speed is between 30 and 40 percent of the base FFS.
LOS F is characterized by street flow at extremely low speed. Congestion is likely occurring at the
boundary intersections, as indicated by high delay and extensive queuing. The travel speed is 30 percent
or less of the base FFS.

Intersection Levels of Service
One of the more important elements limiting, and often interrupting the flow of traffic on a highway is
the intersection. Flow on an interrupted facility is usually dominated by points of fixed operation such as
traffic signals, stop and yield signs.
Signalized Intersections – Performance Measures
For signalized intersections the performance measures include automobile volume-to-capacity ratio,
automobile delay, queue storage length, ratio of pedestrian delay, pedestrian circulation area,
pedestrian perception score, bicycle delay, and bicycle perception score. LOS is also considered a
performance measure. For the automobile mode average control delay per vehicle per approach is
determined for the peak hour. A weighted average of control delay per vehicle is then determined for
the intersection. A LOS designation is given to the weighted average control delay to better describe the
level of operation. A description of LOS for signalized intersections is found in Table A-2.

Table A-2: Signalized Intersection Level of Service Description (Automobile Mode) Level of Service Description
Average
Control Delay
(seconds per
vehicle)
A
Operations with a control delay of 10 seconds/vehicle or less and a volume-to-capacity
ratio no greater than 1.0. This level is typically assigned when volume-to-capacity ratio is
and either progression is exceptionally favorable or the cycle length is very short. If it’s
due to favorable progression, most vehicles arrive during the green indication and travel
through the intersection without stopping.
10
B
Operations with control delay between 10.1 to 20.0 seconds/vehicle and a volume-to-
capacity ratio no greater than 1.0. This level is typically assigned when the volume-to-
capacity ratio is low and either progression is highly favorable or the cycle length is short.
More vehicles stop than with LOS A.
>10.0 to
20.0
C
Operations with average control delays between 20.1 to 35.0 seconds/vehicle and a
volume-to-capacity ratio no greater than 1.0. This level is typically assigned when the
volume-to-capacity ratio no greater than 1.0. This level is typically assigned when
progression is favorable or the cycle length is moderate. Individual cycle failures (i.e., one
or more queued vehicles are not able to depart as a result of insufficient capacity during the
cycle) may begin to appear at this level. The number of vehicles stopping is significant,
although many vehicles still pass through the intersection without stopping.
>20 to 35
D
Operations with control delay between 35.1 to 55.0 seconds/vehicle and a volume-to-
capacity ratio no greater than 1.0. This level is typically assigned when the volume-to-
capacity ratio is high and either progression is ineffective or the cycle length is long.
Many vehicles stop, and i ndividual cycle failures are noticeable.
>35 to 55
E
Operations with control delay between 55.1 to 80.0 seconds/vehicle and a volume-to-
capacity ratio no greater than 1.0. This level is typically assigned when the volume-to-
capacity ratio is high, progression is unfavorable, and the cycle length is long. Individual
cycle failures are frequent.
>55 to 80
F
Operations with unacceptable control delay exceeding 80.0 seconds/vehicle and a
volume-to-capacity ratio greater than 1.0. This level is typically assigned when the
volume-to-capacity ratio is very high, progression is very poor, and the cycle length is
long. Most cycles fail to clear the queue.
>80
Unsignalized Intersections
The HCM 2010 procedures use control delay as a measure of effectiveness to determine level of service.
Delay is a measure of driver discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and increased travel time. The
delay experienced by a motorist is made up of a number of factors that relate to control, traffic and
incidents. Total delay is the difference between the travel time actually experienced and the reference
travel time that would result during base conditions, i. e., in the absence of traffic control, geometric
delay, any incidents, and any other vehicles. Control delay is the increased time of travel for a vehicle
approaching and passing through an unsignalized intersection, compared with a free-flow vehicle if it
were not required to slow or stop at the intersection.

All-Way Stop Controlled Intersections
All-way stop controlled intersections is a form of traffic controls in which all approaches to an
intersection are required to stop. Similar to signalized intersections, at all-way stop controlled
intersections the average control delay per vehicle per approach is determined for the peak hour. A
weighted average of control delay per vehicle is then determined for the intersection as a whole. In
other words the delay measured for all-way stop controlled intersections is a measure of the average
delay for all vehicles passing through the intersection during the peak hour. A LOS designation is given to
the weighted average control delay to better describe the level of operation.
Two-Way Stop Controlled Intersections
Two-way stop controlled (TWSC) intersections in which stop signs are used to assign the right-of-way,
are the most prevalent type of intersection in the United States. At TWSC intersections the stop-
controlled approaches are referred as the minor street approaches and can be either public streets or
private driveways. The approaches that are not controlled by stop signs are referred to as the major
street approaches.
The capacity of movements subject to delay are determined using the "critical gap" method of capacity
analysis. Expected average control delay based on movement volume and movement capacity is
calculated. A LOS for TWSC intersection is determined by the computed or measured control delay for
each minor movement. LOS is not defined for the intersection as a whole for three main reasons: (a)
major-street through vehicles are assumed to experience zero delay; (b) the disproportionate number of
major-street through vehicles at the typical TWSC intersection skews the weighted average of all
movements, resulting in a very low overall average delay from all vehicles; and (c) the resulting low
delay can mask important LOS deficiencies for minor movements. Table A-3 provides a description of
LOS at unsignalized intersections.
