L2. The economy tends to be cyclical. Does significantly downgrading 20-year traffic <br />projections from the 2030 stud�y, which was much more robust than the recent traffic <br />studies., make sense based on a current 2-3 year economic downturn? The SRF <br />consultant pointed out that economic upturns and downturns cancel themselves out over <br />the long run. If so., what's really d�riving the significant d�rop in the projected traffic <br />volume on Josephine Rd�. and others? <br />RESPONSE: Based on our engineering judgment and the specific data collected as part <br />of this project, the revised traffic volume projected on -7osephine Road (with or without <br />the County Road C2 connection) is reasonable. The forecasts take into account the <br />stable development in the immediate area, observed travel patterns, modeled <br />understanding of regional growth and connectivity (including Twin Lakes redevelopment <br />area), and connections to adJacent neighborhoods. <br />0. The stud�y data ind�icates traffic on a connected C2 will increase 400% by d�iverting traffifti <br />from Josephine Road�., Wood�hill., County Road C and other established collector and <br />arterial roadways. Why is connecting C2 preferable to using these already established <br />roadways., particularly when data shows traffic on these road�s is either d�ecreasing or far <br />less than pred ed�? <br />RESPONSE: If County Road C2 were connected, traffic using already established <br />roadways may find County Road C2 to be a more desirable route based on travel time <br />differential. <br />4. What is the d�aily traffic volume number need�ed� for a 2-way collector roadway, such as <br />Josephine Road�., to be consid�ered� at or approaching capacity? <br />RESPONSE: Planning level capacity of a two-lane undivided urban roadway that is <br />approaching or at capacity can range from S,500 vehicles per day it to 10,000 it <br />Page 4 of 11 <br />
