The study area encompasses the SR202 to the north, Apache Boulevard to the south, Priest Drive to the west and SR101 to the east. Tasks included extensive coordination with City of Tempe staff and ASU, utilizing intensive Excel spreadsheets to calculate TAZ information within study area, developing a gravity based TransCAD model, running/calibrating several iterations of the TransCAD model. Part of the travel demand model will also include all existing and proposed Transit in and around the study area to help determine areas within the model used by pedestrians and bikes.

COOPERLEAF TRAFFIC INTERCHANGE TRAFFIC REPORT AND AREA TRANSPORTATION MODEL,

TONOPAH. The Copperleaf T.I. traffic report and change of access report were prepared by CivTech to document the existing and future traffic conditions of the study area that includes a four mile stretch of Interstate 10. CivTech, through extensive coordination with the Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG), Arizona Department of Transportation, the Hassayampa Framework Study, and planned developments in the area, developed the TransCAD model to project future traffic conditions.

The modeling process included several roadway alignment changes, land use changes, and coordination with multiple agencies. The reports supplemented the Design Concept Report and the Environmental Categorical Exclusion for this proposed roadway project.

SAHUARITA FARMS MASTER TRANSPORTATION PLAN, SAHUARITA. Ruth worked with Crown Community Development, the Town of Sahuarita, ADOT, Pima County, and PAG to study the future build-out conditions within the Town of Sahuarita. The model Ruth prepared encompassed a 10-mile diameter study area, and has been developed using assumptions approved by the Towns General Plan. As a result of developing the TransCAD model, extensive coordination with the Town is operations of the proposed Sahuarita Farms development. Tasks included extensive coordination, data collections, utilizing intensive Excel spreadsheets to calculate TAZ information within the study area, developing a gravity based TransCAD traffic model, running/ calibrating several iterations of the TransCAD model to establish projecting future ADT volumes, and using the ADT volumes to calculate peak hour turning movements for each study intersection within the study area.

Relevant Project Experience

MARICOPA ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENTS (MAG) ROAD SAFETY ASSESSMENTS (RSA) 67TH

AVENUE/GLENDALE AVENUE. CivTech has been selected under the safety on-call contracts with MAG to perform the RSAs for local jurisdictions. CivTech lead the RSA effort with the City of Glendale for the intersection of 67th Avenue/Glendale Avenue. CivTech created the power point presentation for the kick-off meeting and lead the team to perform field observations to document good safety practices and short, medium, and long-range improvements to address crash and potential safety issues at this intersection. There have been 173 total crashes over 5 years at this intersection including 11 bicycle and pedestrian crashes. CivTech presented the findings on day 3 of the RSA and a final report documenting findings observations and recommendations. Significant recommendations included putting the pedestrian phase in recall, pedestrian access improvements, clear zone short and long-term improvements and sight distance improvements.

ADOT ROADWAY SAFETY ASSESSMENT, ADOT/US 60 IN GLOBE. As a subconsultant, CivTech participated as a team member for an RSA on US 60 in Globe MP 247.5 to MP 248.6. CivTech also provided the traffic counts at the intersection of US 60 and Radanovich Blvd. There were 74 recorded crashes in this section in 5 years. There was 1 fatal and 4 incapacitating crashes; nearly 75% of the crashes were either rear-end or angle crashes. Our observation of sight distance issues, lack of lighting and access control led to recommending mitigations to improve these areas.

ADOT I-10 DETOUR ROUTE TO US70 STUDY. CivTech assisted WSP in a study on US70 from Safford to the New Mexico State Line to determine the feasibility of routing traffic from I-10 to US70 when shutdowns of I-10 occurred due to weather or crash incidents. CivTech reviewed crash data and used the ADOT photolog to recommended safety improvements and locations of the improvements on US

70. CivTech also provided a planning level cost estimate for the recommended improvements.

Improvements included pavement markings, centerline rumble strips, extending culverts, slope layback, shoulder widening and passing lanes.

ADOT HSIP SAFETY EVALUATIONS. Pedestrian night time crashes were evaluated on US70, SR86 and SR264 as a result of these locations appearing on the list for high crash locations. Pedestrian paths close to the highways were observed between housing areas and school and commercial areas. In some cases where bridges were present on US 70 and SR 86 pedestrians traversed the bridge to cross the wash. Most crashes occurred in darkness. Recommended countermeasures were continuous lighting and sidewalks. As US 70 and SR 86 are near astronomical observatories, consideration for reducing light emissions that affected the observatories was a part of the lighting designs.

ADOT Traffic Safety Roadway Departure Safety Implementation Program (RDSIP). CivTech, as a subconsultant, research, develop standards and develop safety project to address the emphasis areas Enhanced Signing and Marking on Curves, Centerline Rumble Strips, Shoulder Rumble Strips and Edge Line Rumble Stripes, Alignment Delineation with Flexible Delineators, Wet Weather Treatments, Guardrail Delineation, Cross Median Crash Treatments. CivTech lead the research efforts, assisted with meeting presentations and developed the draft Policies, Guidelines and Procedures (renamed Traffic Guidelines and Processes) for each of the emphasis areas.
