EXHTBTT B <br />Proposed Scope of Work October 22. 1991 <br />FIVE -CITY TRAFFIC STUDY <br />The following is a proposed scope of work for completing the Five -City traffic study. It <br />addresses the revisions to the original scope of work as discussed at the September 8th meeting*of <br />the City Managers, and the directions given at the meeting with technical staff on October 8th. <br />OVERVIEW <br />The work carried out to date for the Five -City traffic study has included the development of <br />a traffic modeling capability (short-range and long-range), preparation of land use data, short-range <br />(1995) traffic forecasts, and identification of potential traffic improvements at selected intersection <br />locations in each of the five cities. A comprehensive interim report is available which documents the <br />results of this work. <br />The revised scope of work will continue to focus on the short-range, but will use a seven-year <br />time frame (1999) rather than the 1995 data that is currently the basis for the short-range analysis. <br />The land use data will be revised accordingly, and new traffic forecasts produced. These revised <br />forecasts will be used to update the short-range traffic improvements. Cost estimates will be <br />produced for the improvements and a nexus analysis carried out to allocate costs to the seven-year <br />land use forecasts. <br />The long-range analysis will produce ADT and peak hour traffic forecast data and examine <br />the short-range improvements within a longer range context. The intent is to ensure that the short- <br />range improvements appear warranted in the long-range, and are consistent with current long-range <br />improvement plans and/or General Plan Circulation Elements. <br />The product of the study will be a seven-year transportation improvement program and <br />corresponding nexus findings. Improvements will be specified in terms of intersection lane <br />requirements, and the nexus information will equate improvement costs to land use growth in each <br />part of the analysis area. <br />Four -City 'traffic Study 1 Austin -Foust AssociatM Inc. <br />
