The results of the analysis indicate that the intersections of Alton/Greenville and Alton/Raitt would operate at LOS D or better during both peak hours with the added lanes. The analysis worksheets are included in Appendix B. School Traffic Flow Improvements A third option for improvement in the vicinity of the intersections of Alton/Greenville and Alton/Raitt is in terms of management of school traffic operations. Some methods that have been shown to ease the peak hour rush of school drop-off and pick-up traffic are: • Staggered starting and ending times based on grade level • Implementation of formal carpooling programs • Queuing vehicles on school property instead of surrounding public streets LEFT-TURN ANALYSIS FOR ALTON COURT DRIVEWAY The purpose of the analysis is to determine whether or not left-turn movements into and out of the Alton Court project access can be made safely. Alton Court Driveway Access The driveway to the Alton Court residential development is proposed to be a full access driveway located approximately 246 feet east of Fairview Street, measured from centerline to centerline. The project proposed to widen the south side of Alton Avenue along the project's frontage to accommodate two eastbound through lanes. Figure 4 shows the proposed striping along Alton Avenue between Fairview Street and Greenville Street. Figure 3, previously referenced, shows the existing traffic volumes with the proposed project at the intersections of Fairview Street and Alton Avenue and Alton Avenue and Project Driveway. Level of Service Analysis As previously presented, the intersection of Alton Avenue/Project Driveway was analyzed using the HCM methodology for unsignalizai intersections. The project driveway is projected to operate at an acceptable LOS B. The analysis worksheets are provided in Appendix B.
