Subtask A.1: Document Future Development Obtain future land use information for the study area. • Document the land use type, quantity, location, timing, and the data source. Prepare a table that lists the future development types, quantities, and phase by OCTAM TAZ. • Submit land use data to the City for review/comment and concurrence. • Convert land use data into socioeconomic data by TAZ. • Calculate future development's trip generation by TAZ • Calculate appropriate trip reductions for mixed -use or transit -oriented developments. • Summarize future trip generation by OCTAM TAZ for Build -out year 2035. Subtask A.2: Document Committed Roadway Improvements • Obtain information about committed roadway improvements. • Document committed roadway improvements, projected year of completion, and funding information. • Submit committed improvements information to the City for review/comment and concurrence. Subtask A.3: Document Existing Traffic Conditions and Prepare Future Traffic Forecasts Up to 55 roadway segments and/or intersections will be selected in consultation with City staff as locations that may be candidates for enhancements due to future development. • Obtain available recent traffic counts (at midblock and intersection study locations) from the City. • Conduct new traffic counts at study locations for which recent counts are not available. For budgeting purposes, we have assumed up to 10 midblock locations (24 hours) and 30 intersections (AM and PM peak turning movements) will be counted. • Calculate existing peak levels of service (LOS), in accordance with the City's LOS guidelines. • Submit existing count volumes and LOS results to the City for review/comment and concurrence. • Obtain OCTAM roadway networks, trip tables, and command files from OCTA. • Create an Existing Plus Committed network and a 2035 network. • Create trip tables for Year 2035. • Create post -processor using traffic counts and base year model outputs. • Prepare future traffic forecasts for Year 2035. • Calculate Levels of Service for study area segments and intersections (2035). • Submit future traffic forecasts and LOS to the City for review/comment and concurrence. Subtask A.4: Prepare Updated Cost Allocation Summary • Use available information to document cost estimates and committed funding for candidate improvements. • Develop an updated cost allocation summary table. (This table will be updated again after the technical evaluation identifies additional projects for the nexus study improvement list.) • Submit cost allocation table to the City for review/comment and concurrence.
