Quigley Sub-Area Plan – Baseline Discussion

Don Kostelec, AICP Alta Planning + Design, Boise, ID February 6, 2017

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
• bjectives 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

• ccur
• 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

• ver capacity in AM peak

period

• Assuming similar split and

worst case scenario of existing Quigley proposal (diagram at left)

Things to Consider

• Need for traffic counts along

Quigley at Buckhorn & Eastridge

• Bullion counts at 8th and 2nd
• Identification of proportional

impacts to design of Quigley

• Buildout of future phases and

conceptual buildout of Dumpke property in consideration of traffic counts
