SUMMARY STATEMENT:
Horrocks Engineers, in collaboration with City engineering and planning staff, have developed the Southeast McCall Buildout Transportation Recommendations memorandum (see attached).
This DRAFT report evaluates various opportunities to expand existing transportation facilities throughout the southeast segment of the City to meet anticipated future traffic volumes
from both infill and new development.
To do so, Horrocks developed a traffic model and utilized 2021 anonymized Bluetooth Streetlight® data from devices traveling through the study area to estimate vehicle and pedestrian
counts and identify the origins and destinations of the traffic. The data was then validated using traffic count and turning movement data collected historically. Traffic projections
were then made assuming future buildout of the City (based on zoning densities) and known potential developments that are currently being discussed. Once the model was established,
an analysis on multiple roadways and major intersections throughout the southeast area of McCall was completed to develop recommendations for expanding roadway connections and enhancing
intersections to accommodate projected 2040 traffic volumes and maintenance.
The resulting report identifies that extensions of Samson Trail, Floyde Street, Davis Street and Deinhard Lane will improve traffic to and from the study area. These extensions will
also require significant intersection improvements at all major intersections. However, by building these transportation facilities, over time, and in collaboration with future developments
some mitigation of traffic congestion on 3rd Street (north of Deinhard) can be achieved. Equally important, more efficient transportation routes (for both vehicle and multi-modal users)
in the southeast area of town will be made. This work session will inform the Council of the details of the study, gain input/comments from Council members so staff can finalize the
report so it can be formally adopted via Resolution at a subsequent meeting
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
None, For Council discussion and to gain input and direction for finalizing the report for formal adoption
