Variable LOS Transportation-Land Use Integration Plan ACHD Transportation-Land Use (Draft Findings) ACHD Integration Plan (TLIP) Slide #: 1

LOS Background Variable LOS Transportation-Land Use Integration Plan The first effort by ACHD for variable LOS occurred when the impact fee program was established in the early 1990s. At that time various roadways showed the need for additional capacity in the future but a decision was made by ACHD to not alter certain roadways to accommodate capacity (accept congestion) within the Capital (Draft Findings) Improvements Plan (CIP). ACHD Examples of these were: Harrison Blvd, 6 th Street, 16 th Street and Jefferson Street. ACHD, with the passage of the CIP update in 2006, identified more roadways that would remain in their current configuration despite projected congestion. These were 36 th Street from State to Hill and Hill Road. Additional roadways were identified as preservation only, indicating that impacts fees for widening would be collected only for corridor preservation, not construction. These were Overland Road Slide #: 2 and Franklin Road (which showed the need for 7 lanes), and Ustick from Cole to Curtis (which showed the need for 5 lanes).

Defining “Constrained” Corridors Variable LOS Transportation-Land Use Integration Plan � Physically � Contextually (Draft Findings) ACHD � Planned � Downtown Slide #: 3

Physically Constrained Variable LOS Meaning there is no more room to build because of various factors Transportation-Land Use Integration Plan (limited right-of-way, developed land use, topography). 36 th Street Cartwright (Draft Findings) from Bogus Basin to Dry Creek from State to Hill Rd ACHD Slide #: 4

Contextual Constraint Variable LOS Meaning the character of the area would be significantly Transportation-Land Use Integration Plan compromised. Harrison Boulevard (Draft Findings) ACHD Warm Springs from Broadway to future Parkcenter crossing Slide #: 5

Downtown Constraint Variable LOS Meaning that the system is complete in a downtown area and Transportation-Land Use Integration Plan expansion would compromise development potential and erode pedestrian level of service. Main & Idaho - Downtown (Draft Findings) Front/Myrtle constructed as alternative ACHD State Street Through downtown Eagle State St – Glenwood to Downtown Through downtown Meridian – Split Corridor Slide #: 6 proposed alternative

Defining Level-Of-Service Variable LOS Roadway Level of Service. This Transportation-Land Use Integration Plan is a measure of roadway congestion ranging from… LOS A--least congested -- to LOS F--most congested. LOS is one of the most (Draft Findings) common terms used to ACHD describe how "good" or how "bad" traffic is projected to be. LOS serves as a benchmark to determine whether new development will comply with an existing LOS or if it will exceed the preferred or adopted LOS. Slide #: 12 Typical Policy Threshold: LOS D
