3 HILTON GARDEN INN HOTEL HOTEL EXPANSION 2400 ALERT ROAD, OTTAWA TRANSPORTATION BRIEF 1. BACKGROUND The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is located at the southwest corner of the intersection of Alert Road and Uplands Drive (Lester Road) in the Gloucester (Airport) Industrial Park which borders the Macdonald-Cartier Ottawa International Airport. The hotel, which was constructed in 2006, has a municipal address of 2400 Alert Road. The existing hotel contains 159 guest rooms, restaurant and convention facilities. The entrance to the hotel is from Alert Road, with a second access point on Thad Johnson Private which provides entering and exiting to the site. Figure 1.1 shows the location of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. A Site Plan Application has been prepared which would propose an expansion to the existing hotel. The expansion would include an additional 128 guest rooms and an expansion to the existing restaurant. The expansion is expected to be completed and open to guests by the year The firm of D. J. Halpenny & Associates Ltd. has been retained by Bona Building & Management Co. Ltd., the project management company, to prepare a report for the project. The would examine the impact of the expected additional trips resulting from the expansion of the hotel. 1.1 Purpose and Scope of Work The purpose of the will be to examine the roads and intersections within the study area, and to determine the impact of the site generated trips from the proposed expansion of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. The study is required as part of the Site Plan Application for the development. The hotel expansion will consist of additional guest rooms. The clientele of the hotel are typically business people who want to be close to the airport. The hotel has conference facilities which would mainly be used during the weekdays by business people. Due to the location of the hotel and type of clientele, the peak hour traffic is expected to peak during the weekday peak AM and PM hours of the adjacent roads. The actual peak will be determined from traffic counts at the Hotel accesses during the weekday morning and afternoon hours. The analysis years will be at the completion of the hotel expansion in 2014, and five years beyond completion at the year The analysis will examine the operation of the proposed site entrance from Alert Road, the Alert/Thad Johnson intersection, Alert/Uplands intersection, and the Uplands/Airport Pkwy southbound off ramp intersection. The

5 3 report will follow the City of Ottawa guidelines as documented in the Transportation Impact Assessment Guidelines dated October EXISTING ROADS AND INTERSECTIONS The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is located at 2400 Alert Road. Alert Road is a two lane rural local road with a posted speed limit of 60 km./h. There are no sidewalks along the road. The hotel will have an entrance/exit onto Thad Johnson Private at the south limit of the site. Thad Johnson Private is a two lane road which is the entrance to the Gloucester (Airport) Industrial Park. The road has no exit and terminates at a cul-de-sac at the west limit of the road. Thad Johnson Private has a posted speed limit of 40 km./h. The road has a rural cross section with no sidewalks. The north limit of the hotel site borders Uplands Drive, which changes to Lester Road east of Alert Road. Both Uplands Drive and Lester Road are arterial roads in the vicinity of the hotel site. The roads have a posted speed limit of 60 km./h. Uplands Drive and Lester Road have one westbound lane and two eastbound lanes in the vicinity of the site. The two eastbound lanes are currently being constructed to accommodate the double left turn movement from the intersection of the southbound Airport Parkway off ramp and Uplands Drive. There are no sidewalks along Uplands Drive or Lester Road, but cycling lanes are being constructed within the project limits of the roadway modifications. The hotel has an entrance from Alert Road which is located approximately 95 meters south of the Alert/Uplands intersection. The hotel entrance forms the west approach of the intersection (entrance only), the private entrance to the NRC Centre for Surface Transportation Technology forms the east approach, and Alert Road forms the north and south approaches. The intersection is controlled by a stop sign at the east (westbound) NRC access. There are no exclusive turn lanes at the intersection. Although the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel s access onto Alert Road is signed Entrance Only, the traffic counts did show some vehicles exiting the site onto Alert Road. The intersection of Alert Road and Thad Johnson Private is a T intersection with Alert Road forming the northbound and southbound intersection approaches, and Thad Johnson Private the eastbound stop controlled approach. There are no exclusive turn lanes at the intersection. The intersection of Uplands Drive and Alert Road is controlled by traffic signals with Uplands Drive forming the eastbound approach, Lester Road the westbound approach, Alert Road the northbound approach, and the northbound Airport Parkway on/off ramps the southbound approach. At the time this report was prepared, the City of Ottawa was completing roadway modifications along Uplands Drive between the southbound Airport Parkway on ramp to the west, to a point just east of Alert Road. The roadway modifications comprise of the addition of an eastbound though lane which was required to receive traffic from the double left turn movement which was constructed at the southbound Airport Parkway off ramp. Figure 2.1 shows the lane movements within the study area. The lane configuration for the Alert/Uplands intersection is as follows:

The intersection is controlled by traffic signals with Uplands Drive forming the eastbound and westbound approaches and the Airport Parkway off ramp the southbound approach. The City has recently modified the intersection to include a double left turn lane at the southbound off ramp approach. The following is the lane configuration for the intersection which is also shown in Figure 2.1: Southbound Airport Pkwy Approach - Eastbound Uplands Drive Approach - Westbound Uplands Drive Approach - Two left turn lanes One channelized right turn lane Two through lanes One through lane Figure 2.2 shows the existing 2012 weekday peak AM and PM hour traffic counts. 3. PROPOSED HOTEL EXPANSION The existing Hilton Garden Inn Hotel was constructed in 2006 and contains 159 guest rooms in an eight storey building. The hotel also included conference and restaurant facilities. The existing hotel provided 172 parking spaces with an entrance from Alert Road and an entrance/exit from Thad Johnson Private. The owners of the hotel have proposed an expansion to the existing hotel. The area of the site will be approximately hectares (4.908 acres). The expansion will provide an additional 128 guest rooms and an expansion to the existing restaurant. The hotel will have 318 parking spaces which include 4 barrier free parking spaces and 6 spaces in the existing hotel basement. The site will retain the existing hotel entrance from Alert Road and the entrance/exit from Thad Johnson Private. The hotel lands are currently zoned T1A which will support the proposed hotel expansion. The lands surrounding the site are mainly commercial, with the NRC Centre for Surface Transportation Technology to the east of the site, and the Gloucester (Airport) Industrial Park to the south which includes the First Air Freight and Federal Express facilities. The expansion of the hotel is expected to be completed and open for guests by the year Figure 3.1 shows a conceptual site plan of the expansion of the Hilton Garden Inn.

10 8 3.1 Trip Generation The expected site generated trips from the expansion of the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel was determined using the existing number of guest rooms and site trips entering and exiting the site during the October 10, 2012 peak AM and PM hour traffic counts. The counts determined that for a 159 room hotel, the peak hour trips shown in Table 3.1 occurred between 7:30 and 8:30 AM, and between 4:30 and 5:30 PM. TABLE 3.1 EXISTING SITE TRIPS LAND USE WEEKDAY PEAK AM HOUR WEEKDAY PEAK PM HOUR Total Enter Exit Total Enter Exit 159 Guest Rooms (48%) 41 (52%) (51%) 40 (49%) The actual traffic counts were utilized to determine the trip generation rates for the additional rooms of the expansion. The trip counts would account for the location of the hotel, type of clientele, and use by other modes of transit such as hotel shuttle, taxi, public transit etc. The calculated trip generation rates are shown in Table 3.2. TABLE 3.2 TRIP GENERATION RATES LAND USE Weekday Peak AM hr. TRIP RATES Weekday Peak PM hr. Hilton Garden Inn Hotel 0.50 Trips/Guest Room 0.51 Trips/Guest Room The trips generation rates from Table 3.2 were applied to the 128 room hotel expansion, with the expected site generated trips shown in Table 3.3.

11 9 The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel is located in close proximity to the Macdonald-Cartier Ottawa International Airport. The type of clientele of the hotel is mainly business men and women who want accessibility to the airport, commercial businesses, and access to the downtown area. The distribution of site generated trips was therefore established by examining the volume of traffic from the 2012 traffic counts, the location of commercial districts, and accessibility to roads which lead to/from the downtown area and commercial districts. The study has assumed the following distribution of traffic: To/From the Airport 40% To/From Uplands Drive 20% To/From Lester Road 20% To/From Airport Parkway 20% The study has distributed the expected additional hotel trips presented in Table 3.3 to the above distribution. The weekday peak AM and PM hour site generated trips are shown in Figure TRANSPORTATION IMPACT The study will examine the operation of the hotel entrance and surrounding intersections using the Highway Capacity Software, which utilizes the intersection capacity analysis procedure as documented in the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual. For unsignalized intersections, the level of service of each lane movement is determined as a function of the delay of vehicles at the approach. The following relates the level of service of each lane movement with the expected delay at the approach. LEVEL OF SERVICE DELAY Level of Service A 0-10 sec./vehicle Little or No Delay Level of Service B >10-15 sec./vehicle Short Traffic Delays Level of Service C >15-25 sec./vehicle Average Traffic Delays Level of Service D >25-35 sec./vehicle Long Traffic Delays Level of Service E >35-50 sec./vehicle Very Long Traffic Delays Level of Service F >50 sec./vehicle Extreme Delays - Demand Exceeds Capacity The expected length of queue at the critical lane movements for an unsignalized intersection was determined by the calculation of the 95 th percentile queue at the lane approach. The 95 th percentile queue length is the calculated 95 th greatest queue length out of 100 occurrences at a movement during a 15-minute peak period. The 95 th percentile queue length is a function of the capacity of a movement and the total expected traffic, with the calculated value determining the magnitude of the queue by representing the queue length as fractions of vehicles. For a signalized intersection, the operation or level of service of an intersection is determined from the volume to capacity ratio (v/c) for each lane movement as documented by the City of Ottawa in the Transportation Impact Study Assessment Guidelines, October The following relates the level of service with the volume to capacity ratio at each lane movement.

13 11 LEVEL OF SERVICE VOLUME TO CAPACITY RATIO Level of Service A 0 to 0.60 Level of Service B 0.61 to 0.70 Level of Service C 0.71 to 0.80 Level of Service D 0.81 to 0.90 Level of Service E 0.91 to 1.00 Level of Service F > Background Traffic Volumes The background traffic volumes represent traffic along the surrounding roads which are not associated with the proposed expansion to the Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. The future background traffic volumes were determined for the expected completion of the hotel expansion at the year 2014, and at the year 2019 which represents five years beyond completion. The surrounding area of the site has not experience much new development with the exception of the CE Centre which was opened in Much of the traffic growth along Uplands Drive and Lester Road will be the result of traffic from development south and east of the site as shown in the City of Ottawa Official Plan. Traffic along Alert Road and Thad Johnson Private would essentially remain the same unless new development was to take place. To estimate the growth in background traffic, the study has examined historical traffic counts taken by the City of Ottawa at the intersection of Alert Road and Uplands Drive. The counts taken on July 27, 2000 and August 22, 2012 determined that the annual growth in traffic was approximately 2.65 percent. The study has assumed an annual growth of 2.5 percent for the traffic along Uplands Drive, Lester Road and the on/off ramps of the Airport Parkway. The background traffic along Alert Road and Thad Johnson Private were increased at an annual rate of 1 percent due to little potential development. The following are the growth factors for the background traffic which were applied to the 2012 traffic counts presented in Figure 2.1: To 2014 To Counts at 2.5 % annual growth Counts at 1.0 % annual growth Figure 4.1 shows the expected year 2014 background traffic volumes for the weekday peak AM and PM hours, and Figure 4.2 the year 2019 peak hour background traffic volumes. 4.2 Total Traffic Volumes The total future peak hour traffic volumes including the expected trips from the hotel expansion were determined by the sum of the background traffic volumes (Figure 4.1 for the 2014 volumes and Figure 4.2 for the 2019 volumes) and the expected site generated trips (Figure 3.2). The result would be the expected total 2014 weekday peak AM and PM hour traffic volumes shown in Figure 4.3, and the total 2019 total traffic volumes shown in Figure 4.4.

18 Traffic Analysis The traffic analysis has been performed for the existing weekday peak AM and PM hour traffic counts and for the expected traffic volumes during the peak hours at the completion of the hotel in 2014, and at the year 2019 which represents five years beyond the completion of the hotel expansion. The has examined the operation of the intersections listed below which will be discussed in detail in the following sections: Hotel Entrance from Alert Road Alert Road and Thad Johnson Private Alert Road and Uplands Drive (Lester Road) Uplands Drive and Airport Parkway Southbound Off Ramp Hilton Gardens Inn Access and Alert Road Intersection The access to the Hilton Gardens Inn Hotel is signed as an Entrance Only from Alert Road. The entrance forms the west approach and the NRC private access the east (westbound) approach. Alert Road forms both the northbound and southbound approaches. The intersection is controlled by a stop sign at the westbound NRC private approach. The 2012 traffic counts determined that all approaches functioned at a Level of Service (LoS) A with the exception of the hotel access. Although the hotel access is signed only as an entrance, some vehicles were observed exiting the site. The delay exiting the site at the hotel access resulted in the hotel approach to function at a LoS B. Table 4.1 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the operational analysis sheets provided in the Appendix as Exhibit 1 for the 2012 peak AM hour and Exhibit 2 for the peak PM hour.

The 2014 and 2019 analysis has not assigned any traffic exiting at the eastbound movement of this approach.

19 17 For the expected traffic volumes at the year 2014, all approaches functioned at a LoS A during the peak AM and PM hours. The hotel entrance was assumed to be restricted to only traffic entering the site with all hotel trips exiting onto Thad Johnson Private. The Thad Johnson Private hotel access allows traffic to enter and exit the site. The analysis has however, assumed that all traffic entering the site would be from the Alert/Uplands intersection and would access the Alert Road hotel entrance. Table 4.1 summarizes the 2014 operation of the intersection following the completion of the expansion. The operational analysis summary sheets are provided as Exhibits 3 and 4. At the year 2019, the northbound and southbound Alert Road approaches would function at a LoS A during the AM and PM hours. The westbound NRC private access would function at a LoS B during the peak AM hour and a LoS A during the peak PM hour. Table 4.1 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the operational analysis sheets provided as Exhibit 5 for the 2019 peak AM hour and Exhibit 6 for the peak PM hour. Alert Road and Thad Johnson Private Intersection The Alert/Thad Johnson intersection is a T intersection with the Alert Road forming the northbound and southbound approaches, and the Thad Johnson Private approach forming the stop controlled eastbound approach. All trips exiting the hotel site would be onto Thad Johnson Private and to the eastbound approach of the Alert/Thad Johnson intersection. The intersection currently functions at a LoS A at all approaches during the peak AM and PM hours for the 2012 traffic counts. Table 4.2 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the analysis sheets provided in the Appendix as Exhibit 7 for the peak AM hour and Exhibit 8 for the peak PM hour.

Table 4.2 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the operational analysis sheets provided as Exhibit 9 and Exhibit 10. At the year 2019, all approaches would function at a LoS A during the peak AM and PM hours. Table 4.2 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the operational analysis sheets provided as Exhibit 11 for the peak AM hour and Exhibit 12 for the peak PM hour. The

20 18 eastbound Thad Johnson Private approach would experience a 95 th percentile queue of 0.45 vehicles during the 2019 peak AM hour. Alert Road and Uplands Drive Intersection The intersection of Alert Road and Uplands Drive is controlled by traffic signals. Uplands Drive forms the eastbound approach, Lester Road the westbound approach, Alert Road the northbound approach, and the northbound Airport Parkway on/off ramps the southbound approach. At the time this report is being prepared, the intersection is being modified to include an additional eastbound Uplands Drive lane. The lane configuration used in the analysis was the modified configuration which is being completed and is shown in Figure 2.1 and discussed in Section 2. of this report. Using the 2012 traffic counts and traffic signal timing plan obtained from the City of Ottawa, all approaches to the intersection functioned at a LoS A during the peak AM and PM hours. Table 4.3 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the operational analysis sheets provided as Exhibit 13 and Exhibit 14. TABLE 4.3 ALERT/UPLANDS (LESTER) LoS and Volume/Capacity (v/c) Intersection Approach WEEKDAY PEAK AM HR. YEAR (2019) WEEKDAY PEAK PM HR.

21 19 adjustment to the peak AM hour signal timing plan. Table 4.3 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the operational analysis sheets provided as Exhibit 15 for the peak AM hour and Exhibit 16 for the peak PM hour. At the year 2019 which represents five years following the completion of the expansion, the Alert/Uplands intersection would function at a LoS A during both the peak AM and PM hours. All movements at the approaches would function at a LoS A as shown in Table 4.3 with the exception of the westbound Lester Road right turn movement which would function at a LoS B during the peak AM hour. The operational analysis sheets are provided in the Appendix as Exhibit 17 and Exhibit 18. Collision data was obtained from the City of Ottawa for the intersection of Alert Road and Uplands Drive (Lester Road). The accident reports were obtained over a three year period between January 1, 2009 and January 1, Table 4.4 summarizes the collision data of reported accidents which determined that during the three year time period, the Alert/Uplands intersection experienced 19 reported collisions. The data would not suggest any requirement for modifications to the intersection to improve safety. The addition of an eastbound Uplands Drive through lane may reduce the number of rear end collisions and possibly some turning movement collisions. The collision data from the City of Ottawa is presented as Exhibit 19 in the Appendix. TABLE 4.4 COLLISION SUMMARY COLLISION DATA Alert Road and Uplands Drive (Lester Road) Intersection Year Rear-End Angular Turning Other Total The Hilton Garden Inn Hotel entrance is located approximately 95 meters from the Alert/Uplands, or a distance of 75 meters from the stop bar at the northbound Alert Road approach and the entrance to the hotel. Using a traffic signal cycle length of 100 seconds, the northbound Alert Road left turn queue would be approximately 28 meters which can be accommodated in the minimum 40 meter left turn lane provided. The northbound Alert Road approach queue would not interfere with the operation of the hotel entrance. Uplands Drive and Southbound Airport Parkway Off Ramp Intersection The intersection of Uplands Drive and the southbound off ramp of the Airport Parkway is located approximately 200 meters west of the Alert/Uplands intersection. The Uplands/Airport Parkway intersection is controlled by traffic signals, with Uplands Drive forming the eastbound

22 20 and westbound approaches, and the Airport Parkway off ramp the southbound approach. The recent roadway modifications of the additional eastbound Uplands Drive through lane was to accommodate the southbound off ramp double left turn movement which has just been completed. The lane configuration is shown in Figure 2.1. The operational analysis for the existing 2012 traffic counts and traffic signal timing plan determined that the intersection currently functions at a LoS A during both the peak AM and PM hours. Table 4.5 shows the operation of the intersection with the analysis sheets provided as Exhibits 20 and 21.

Table 4.5 summarizes the operation of the intersection with the operational analysis sheets provided as Exhibit 22 for the peak AM hour and Exhibit 23 for the peak PM hour. Following an adjustment to the traffic signal timing, the intersection is expected to operate at an overall LoS A during the 2019 peak AM hour with all approaches functioning at a LoS A. During the peak PM hour the intersection is expected to operate at an overall LoS B, with the eastbound approach functioning at a LoS A, the westbound approach at a LoS C, and southbound approach at a LoS B. Table 4.5 shows the operation of the intersection with the analysis sheets provided as Exhibits 24 and Pedestrian, Transit Facilities, and Cycling The existing Hilton Garden Inn Hotel has a pedestrian pathway linking the hotel with a bus stop on the northbound Airport Parkway for Regular Route 97, which travels along the Airport Parkway between the airport and the South Keys transit station. The site has an existing pedestrian path to Alert Road which would give pedestrians access to transit stops for Regular

23 21 Route 99 and Peak Hour Route 204 which travel along Lester Road. The Site Plan also provides a link to a new pathway under construction along the south side of Uplands Drive. There currently are no sidewalks along Uplands Drive or Lester Road. The City of Ottawa Official Plan (Rapid Transit Network) shows a transit line from the Macdonald-Cartier Ottawa International Airport to a north-south transit line which would place the transit route along the south side of Uplands Drive adjacent to the hotel. When the transit route is constructed, a transit station is expected to be constructed in close proximity to the hotel and Gloucester (Airport) Industrial Park. Transit service is expected to be used mainly by employees and may have little impact on the number of peak hour site generated trips. Observations during the traffic counts did observe many trips by the hotel airport shuttle. There are no cycling lanes along Uplands Drive or Lester Road with the exception of the stretch between Alert Road and the off ramp from the Airport Parkway which is currently undergoing roadway modifications. The City of Ottawa zoning By-laws require 22 bicycle parking spaces which will be provided. 5. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS There is a proposal for an expansion to the existing Hilton Garden Inn Hotel at 2400 Alert Road. The expansion will comprise of 128 additional guest rooms and an expansion of the existing restaurant. The expansion of the hotel is expected to be completed by the year Staff of the City of Ottawa has requested that a be prepared which would examine the impact of the additional site generated traffic on the surrounding roads and intersections. The is being prepared in support of the Site Plan Application. The findings and recommendations of the study are summarized in the following: 1) The proposed expansion to the hotel would generate 64 new weekday peak AM hour trips and 65 peak PM hour trips. The expected additional trips were determined utilizing the year 2012 traffic counts and number of guest rooms at the existing Hilton Garden Inn Hotel. 2) The Site Plan proposes an Entrance Only access point from Alert Road and an Entrance/Exit access point onto Thad Johnson Private. 3) The hotel entrance from Alert Road would operate at a good level of service at the year The Entrance/Alert intersection would not require any roadway modifications due to the hotel expansion. The expected year 2019 queue from the northbound Alert Road approach to the Alert/Uplands intersection would not interfere with the operation of the hotel entrance.

24 22 4) The intersection of Alert Road and Thad Johnson Private would operate at a good level of service at the year 2019 and would not require any roadway modifications due to the hotel expansion. 5) The intersection of Alert Road and Uplands Drive (Lester Road) is controlled by traffic signals. The City of Ottawa is completing roadway modifications which would comprise of the addition of an eastbound Uplands Drive through lane. The intersection would operate at a good level of service at the year 2019 and would not require any further roadway modifications due to the hotel expansion. 6) The intersection of Uplands Drive and the southbound Airport Parkway off ramp is controlled by traffic signals. The City of Ottawa roadway modifications include the addition of a southbound double left turn lane at the Airport Parkway off ramp, and an additional eastbound Uplands Drive through lane. The intersection would operate at a good level of service at the year 2019 and would not require any further roadway modifications due to the hotel expansion. 7) A Check List is provided in the Appendix as Exhibit 26.
