239 <br /> public streets. However, volumes generated by the recreational uses are not high <br /> enough to warrant turn lane improvements on the main roadways, Lawrence Road and <br /> US 70 Alt. These turn lanes are only required with the school uses. <br /> The all-way stop at US 70 Alt and Lawrence Road is projected to operate at LOS E/F in <br /> the 2025 Background condition without any site traffic added. The recreational traffic <br /> has minimal impact to this intersection. This location could benefit from signalization <br /> regardless of the proposed development. Through signalization alone with no turn lane <br /> improvements, as noted above, the intersection would greatly improve to LOS B. <br /> Conclusions <br /> The analyses indicate that with the recommended improvements in place, the study <br /> intersections are expected to operate at acceptable levels-of-service in all peak hours <br /> with the exception of the minor street approaches of the unsignalized intersections. <br /> However, It should be noted that long delays are not uncommon at unsignalized minor <br /> street approaches at mainlines with heavy through movement volumes and no queueing <br /> issues were noticed in SimTraffic simulations. The recommended roadway Ianeage for <br /> the projected (2025) build-out traffic condition is shown on Figure ES-1. <br />
