3 Introduction Purpose & Scope The City of Hope has approached Tate Engineering & Surveying to analyze the current transportation system. The purpose of this inspection is to determine the following: Existing traffic problems Potential traffic problems Sufficiency of road signs Adequacy of current transportation facilities Possible means of improving facilities The scope of this transportation report shall address the findings from the analysis performed on the City of Hope s transportation system and will include: Existing Conditions Traffic Impacts Specific Issues Standards Recommendations for Improvement Existing Conditions Road Inventory The roads of City of Hope (see figure 1.1) are as follows: Idaho State Highway 200 Business Ridgewood Road Highland Avenue Grandview Avenue Main Street Alpine Lane In the following sections, each street s existing conditions will be described. This will include classification, width, speed limit, maintenance responsibility, traffic counts, and level of service.

The summary of these values are given in Table 1.1. Tate Engineering & Surveying 4
5 ADT is defined as the total amount of vehicles that travel on a roadway, in both directions, on any given day. The ADT for each street is considered very low but is typical for a town of this size. Low ADT, in this case, would suggest that there is little congestion on the road. Level of Service is the other value that gives an indication of how well traffic is flowing through the system. If there is high congestion on a street or at an intersection, the rating will go down. A good grade is given to streets and intersections that are free flow and have little delay to pass through an intersection. Bad grades are given to streets that have unstable flow or vehicles require a considerable amount of time to pass through an intersection. Because Hope is small, ADT is small and as a result, LOS is good. However, Hope s system has a good chance of getting bad LOS grades with very low ADTs. The cause of this problem is from narrow one-lane roads. If too many vehicles travel on a single lane road, there will be a spike in delay (drivers having to pull over and wait for the passerby). If LOS for roads and intersections are of good grades, the transportation system is working well. In Hope s case, if population or number of vehicles increases, provisions will need to be made to help eminent new congestion and increased delay. Table 1.1 Traffic Counts Road ADT LOS SH 200 B 102 veh/day A Ridgewood Road 20 veh/day A Highland Avenue 28 veh/day A Grandview Avenue 52 veh/day A Main Street 82 veh/day A Alpine Lane 16 veh/day A *Traffic counts based upon number of households being served and very significantly depending upon local events, i.e. weddings, family activities, etc. Traffic Impacts Width & Impact on Capacity Because many of the roads in Hope are one-lane in width, the capacity that each road can handle is extremely limited. Capacity is defined as the volume of cars over a period per lane. Because both direction of travel are shared by one lane, the road could never come close to reaching capacity. By widening the majority of roads in Hope, many of the roads could handle more vehicles in the future. As for now, only a handful of cars can travel on each road at a time, safely. Development Currently, the roads in Hope have many issues but for the most part, citizens are able to get around despite the frequent delays, one-lane streets, and other potentially dangerous problems. Tate Engineering & Surveying 5
6 Because the population of Hope is small, these issues are not as prominent as they would be if Hope were a larger town. If future development graces its presence in Hope, the population will rise, and the volume on roads could increase, causing frequent problems. With proper design and planning, future development and traffic volume increase can be managed. Tourism & Recreation The City of Hope lies on a mountainside, on the north side of Lake Pend Oreille. Here, outdoor enthusiasts come to the area from all over to boat, fish, camp, hike, cycle, swim, shop, and just enjoy the natural beauty of the area. With the popularity of Sandpoint (Bonner County Seat) and Lake Pend Oreille increasing, tourism and recreation in the surrounding areas is increasing. With tourism and recreation increasing, Hope could experience increased volume on many of the local roads. Proper planning and design can allow many vacationers to visit while keeping traffic problems to a minimum for local residents. Specific Issues Pedestrian Access Across town, pedestrian access consists of sharing the same narrow roads with vehicles. In a few places, there are pedestrian stairs that bypass the roads. These stairs are only bypassing a couple of streets and does not alleviate the problem much. While designing the alternatives for the Hope transportation system, pedestrian mobility and safety will be emphasized. There is an emphasis on providing pedestrian access to the boat launch area as this is being developed as a park. Business District Parking One concern the City of Hope had with their transportation system was with the lack of parking available for their businesses. SH 200 B allows great access to much of the business district in Hope but it limits parking to businesses because it is against a steep grade and provides no shoulder. The only parking available is parallel parking in front of each business. A small amount of 60 parking is available where SH 200 B meanders slightly, (located near the Main Street and SH 200 B intersection), but it is still not enough for the use by businesses and visitors. When looking into design alternatives for the City of Hope, focus was placed on maximizing parking available to the central business district while creating and maintaining driver and pedestrian safety. Grandview Avenue Grandview Avenue is viewed as the road in Hope that is most in need of repair. It has one lane that is very narrow, is located near the edge of a steep hillside, and has been found to be Tate Engineering & Surveying 6
7 experiencing fill failure. Fill failure on a road means that the ability for the ground to carry the load of the pavement and all vehicles that drive on the pavement is diminishing slowly and it is unable to hold the road in place. To fix this problem, Grandview Avenue would have to be completely reconstructed. The fill underneath the road would have to either be repaired with compaction or have some of the old fill removed and be replaced with more suitable fill. Each of the alternatives for improvement will focus on this road, so that it is safer and a more effective road for drivers. Ridgewood Street Ridgewood Street is considered the second in line for needing repair. Like Grandview, the road is one-lane and very narrow, and is on the edge of a steep hillside. Ridgewood, unlike Grandview, has satisfactory fill and will carry loads effectively. Each of the design alternatives will discuss possible improvements to this road. Standards The following figures show the recommended cross-sections for the roads in Hope. Many factors (i.e.: steep cliffs, close proximity of buildings, etc.) can limit the usability of these particular cross-sections and variants to the design should be considered in each case. The crosssections can also be found in Appendix C. Figure Urban Road Cross-section Figure Single Lane Local Road Cross-Section Tate Engineering & Surveying 7

9 Recommended Plan Alternatives for Improvement Tate Engineering & Surveying took a look at the existing conditions of the City of Hope transportation system and design alternatives were devised to give the City and its citizens various choices on the direction they want to take to fix their current system. Five total design alternatives were created, each providing a plan to improve various traffic related problems. The design alternatives are as follows: Alternative 1: No Cost Alternative 2: Multi-Purpose Lane on Most Streets Alternative 3: Turn-Outs Alternative 4: One-Way Street System Alternative 5: Signalized System on Grandview Alternative 6: Emergency Routes In the following sections, each of the design alternatives presented above will be discussed in detail, and advantages, disadvantages, and a cost estimate will be presented. Tate Engineering & Surveying 9
10 Alternative 1: No Cost Summary With this no cost alternative, no major improvement would be made to the City s transportation system, and minimal incurred expense. One recommended task the city should undertake is the replacement or cleaning of traffic signs according to the recommendations given in the City of Hope Sign Inventory Report (See Appendix A). By choosing this alternative, drivers traveling through the city would still experience delay caused by the lack of site distance from narrow, steep, and hilly terrain. In addition, the roads in the City of Hope are very narrow, and there are no shoulders on many of the roads. The problem with driver insecurity and the mobility of larger vehicles (mainly trucks, trailers, RVs, etc.) will remain. In the future, many costly repairs will have to be made from the narrow streets and lack of shoulders. Road degradation will occur from heavier vehicle driving on the edges of the roads. On the other hand, current traffic volumes on many of the streets in the City suggest this could be a viable option, but only for a short term. As the city grows, new traffic problems will arise, including accidents, traffic delays, and driver confusion, and changes to the transportation infrastructure will need to be considered. Advantages No major expenditures for construction and other transportation facilities No impact would be made on home and business owners No delays caused by construction or new traffic system Disadvantages Low pavement life expectancy due to lack of shoulders and turn-outs Higher delay High number of on-coming car conflicts Least maneuverability for large vehicles Plan of this alternative is located in Appendix B. Tate Engineering & Surveying 10
11 Alternative 2: Multi-Purpose Lane on Most Streets Summary This alternative offers more maneuverability over the No Cost alternative. On each street in Hope, except those with the inability to be widened, will receive a wider than normal shoulders (located on the inside portion of the road or the side opposite of a cliff). These wider-thannormal shoulders (approximately 7 feet in width) would act as a multi-use lane and have two different purposes, firstly as an emergency lane (to allow turnouts), and secondly as a bike and pedestrian lane (for increased pedestrian mobility). As an emergency lane, the multi-purpose lane would allow vehicles to pull over for any oncoming vehicles. This could help reduce delay and dangers from drivers having to either maneuver out of the way of an on coming vehicle, and vehicles coming close to steep hillsides, respectively. As a bike and pedestrian lane, the multi-purpose lane would allow for increased alternatives to using a vehicle within Hope. Because posted speeds and traffic volume are low, pedestrian/bike/car conflicts will be minimal. The lane would also act as a much-needed shoulder to prevent damage to the pavement. With less damage to the edges of the road, less money will be spent on repairing the edge of the roadway and resurfacing. Advantages More maneuverability of larger vehicles Greater driver confidence Less delay Less on-coming car conflicts Low impact to homes and businesses Disadvantages High construction cost Hillsides would need to be carved away High construction delay possible Limited space for road widening Cannot widen Highland in certain places without tearing down buildings Plan of this alternative is located in Appendix B.

13 Alternative 3: Turnouts Summary The turnout alternative was inspired from the existing turnouts found on Main Street. In this alternative, turnouts are proposed to be placed on every street where enough room is available. Currently turnouts are used in the form of driveways and flat pieces of land on the side of the road. With turnouts located on each road and appropriate spacing will be given so drivers will have proper decision and stopping site distance to be able to turn out when they see an oncoming vehicle. Turnouts will allow vehicles to pull over more safely and by being less intrusive to property owners. N Lake Pend Oreille Figure 1.2 Turnout Layout City of Hope Turnout Layout - Turnout Turnouts proposed will be designed according to AASHTO Greenbook standards. They should be designed using case II, design condition A specification. This should allow most passenger vehicles only and width of roadways at the turnouts is 18 feet. Various driveways in Hope could also be used as turnouts, allowing for less construction and material costs. This can be done by getting an easement for the proper amount of the driveway needed for a width of a typical turnout. The city would mark and maintain designated turnouts. Advantages Cheaper than Alternative 2 Less confusion and delay Minimal construction Low impact on home and business owners Disadvantages No increase in maneuverability of larger vehicles Minimal increase of driver confidence Low pavement life expectancy due to lack of shoulder Cannot eliminate all on-coming car conflicts Driver confusion and delay still present Plan of this alternative is located in Appendix B.

15 Alternative 4: One-Way Street System Summary Because Highland and Main run parallel to SH 200 Business, it can be possible to make these streets along with SH 200 Business into one-way streets. In this alternative, SH 200 B would be turned into a one-way street going southeast. Because SH 200 B is a two-lane road currently, one of the lanes would be converted into parking, bike/pedestrian lane, and/or increased shoulder space (which in some areas along the road, there is not any). The combination of Highland and Main Streets would be the other one-way street running northwest. Connector Street SH 200 B Ridgewood/Main Figure 1.2 One Way Streets City of Hope SH 200 B & Ridgewood/Main N Two intersections in Hope would be changed. They are as follows: Intersection of Highland Avenue and Main Street Intersection of SH 200 B and Main Street The intersection at Main and Highland would be redesigned to allow a straighter alignment between the two streets. The remaining piece of Main Street that connects to SH 200 B will become a connector between the couplet streets. The one-way streets merge at two places. First at the turn off from SH 200 and the other is in East Hope. Because the terminus of Highland/Main and SH 200 B is in East Hope, some complications could arise because cooperation would have to be established with the City of East Hope and the County. All parties would have to agree on any proposed changes that would be made to the streets in their jurisdiction. Advantages: Increased maneuverability for every mode of transportation Minimal impact to home and business owners Little on-coming car conflicts Creation of bike & pedestrian lane, extra parking, and shoulder on SH 200 B Disadvantages Could cause long trips for some motorists heading towards Grandview Drivers might get lost One turn around point (not including the ones at each end of the loop) Central turn-around cannot handle two-way traffic or left turns onto SH 200 B Could affect business performance in a negative way Has some impact on business and home owners Increased number of parties involved with planning and construction Tate Engineering & Surveying 15

17 Alternative 5: Signalized System for Grandview Summary Because sight distance is very low for Grandview Avenue, this alternative will involve signalization. Signalization generally helps with traffic movement and driver confusion, but they can also cause some traffic delay and safety issues in larger volume applications. Three signals would be need in this alternative, one at Grandview and Main, Grandview and Alpine, and Grandview and Round Top Road (Forest Service Road). Figure 1.3 Signals on Grandview Avenue The signalization system would be fully actuated, where every approach will have a detector and when a car actuates the detector, the signals will adjust to allow the car to proceed. Each signal will have three lights, green, yellow, and red. Green will represent proceed, yellow will represent caution, and red will represent stop. In order for the signal system to work, the intersection approach at Alpine and the beginning and end of Grandview will need to be widened to two lanes, with one lane acting as a queue lane and the other as a receiving lane. Each lane, and every driveway, along Grandview will have a detector to ensure lights will accommodate every driver safely. Further design of the signalized system will be required in order to fit the needs of the city precisely. Plan of this alternative is located in Appendix B. Advantages Better and more predictable traffic flow on Grandview Reduced on-coming traffic conflicts Less intrusive construction Disadvantages Possible high cost for signal equipment Possible increase in delay Only solves traffic problem on one street; other alternatives would have to be considered Driveways located between the before-mentioned intersections Cost Estimate - Signal - Indicator loop Item Quantity Unit Cost Cost Grandview/Alpine Signals 3 LS N/A Actuators 9 LS N/A Control System 1 LS N/A Total Alternative Cost $140,000 N City of Hope Grandview & Alpine Tate Engineering & Surveying 17
18 Alternative 6: Emergency Routes Summary In cases of fire, heavy snow, mudslide, or other natural disaster, emergency vehicles must respond in a timely manner, while residents are not trapped. The creation of emergency routes could help get residents out and allow emergency vehicles in with little problems. State Highway 200 Business Main Street Ridgewood Ave Highland Ave City of Hope Roads Map N Alpine Lane Grandview Ave There are three proposed emergency routes Emergency Route - for the City of Hope: Connection of a road from the Figure 1.3 Layout of Emergency Routes cemetery (near Grandview Avenue) to East Hope Grandview to East Hope Extension of Alpine Lane to Main Street Fixing of a logging road on Ridgewood Avenue If these roads were to be done, they would each be a single lane road, be classified as a Rural Local Access Road, and only have limited access. In the future, if traffic problems worsen, these roads could be easily converted into useable everyday roads to help alleviate the situation. Advantages: Increased public safety Decreased delay Disadvantages: Must be combined with another alternative Might become expensive because of terrain and construction of new road Might impact some home owners Plan of this alternative is located in Appendix B.

20 Conclusion/Discussion Selected Plan of Action After much discussion with city officials, residents, and business owners, a proposed plan for correcting the City of Hope s traffic problems was pieced together. The consensus was: Turnouts should be used on all one-lane streets (Alternative 3) Bike and pedestrian traffic should be considered in downtown area Development of Emergency Routes (Alternative 6) Construction Priorities Before any major constructions commences, a meeting should be held with city officials, contractor, engineer, and residents and discuss a plan to allow construction to occur while vehicles can travel on the roadways being constructed. Once a construction plan is created, Grandview reconstruction and turnout construction can start. All new utility work should be considered for construction at this time. Striping should be applied at the end of construction and road signs should be added where necessary. Provisions given in the road sign inventory should also be considered at this time. Budgeting With the adoption of the Plan of Action above, the City of Hope should allocate $436,542 for materials cost, and secure extra funding for contingency. Tate Engineering & Surveying 20

24 Notes Tests should be performed on each sign to determine their visibility at night (luminescence). If a sign can not be seen adequately at night under normal conditions, the sign then must be reoriented or replaced. Many traffic signs can become dusty and dirty over many years of use; therefore, each sign should be cleaned to allow better reflection of light. Each sign should be inspected to ensure proper connection to post, and posts should be inspected and replaced when they have been subjected to long-term climate conditions or damage from vehicles.
