Quigley Sub-Area Plan – Baseline Discussion February 6, 2017 Don Kostelec, AICP Alta Planning + Design, Boise, ID Photo Credit: Bike Walk Wichita
Purpose • A more focused evaluation of transportation network connectivity in the area served by Quigley Road and Fox Acres • What has happened since the Hailey Transportation Master Plan was adopted nearly a decade ago? • What would be likely impacts of buildout of Quigley proposed developments and Dumpke property? • Help City provide guidance to current proposed development on analysis and potential requirements

Collector Streets
Collector Streets • Overall Goal: Distribute transportation users between local streets and arterials • May serve as an “arterial” for pedestrians and bicyclists • Are part of a network to support their distribution function
Collector Streets ?
Why connectivity? 1. It’s safer—for everyone. 2. Creates redundancy in the network 3. Better serves pedestrians, bicyclists & driver 4. Improves delivery & efficiency of city services 5. Gives you more options for SH 75
Why connectivity?
Why connectivity for active transportation?
Traffic Impacts • System disconnect, if accommodated in final plans disrupts transportation system function • May not meet goals and objectives of past plans • Disproportionately impacts Fox Acres & SH 75 intersections • Leaves fewer options for SH 75 in downtown
Traffic Impacts • Roadway links function well and are generally within acceptable thresholds (very common) • Intersections are where vehicular traffic flow impacts occur • Fox Acres & SH 75 in buildout of existing phase • Also influenced by other, past developments in the area
Fox Acres & SH 75 • Currently: 85% of traffic goes north; 15% goes south • Right turn from Fox Acres to northbound SH 75 currently over capacity in AM peak period • Assuming similar split and worst case scenario of existing Quigley proposal (diagram at left) AM Peak: TODAY

Things to Consider • Need for traffic counts along Quigley at Buckhorn & Eastridge • Bullion counts at 8th and 2 nd • Identification of proportional impacts to design of Quigley • Buildout of future phases and conceptual buildout of Dumpke property in consideration of traffic counts
