152 situations now where maybe you can get on a bus in the direction you want to go. But then when you try 153 to come home, you don't get dropped off in the same place. We also looked at extensions or expansions 154 of service routes that would hit communities that if they had more proximity to the access, if it was closer 155 to their front door, that could encourage more use as well. So, I do see where you're coming from, and 156 maybe Nish, it's good to hear that Nelson Nygaard doing that density plan, and I think that may help 157 support and answer what Art is asking for. 158 159 N. Trivedi: Sherry's next. 160 161 S. Appel: But yeah, thank you for doing this and for all the other Members who are on this call, I have 162 several questions. You showed us the level of service, what is the time of day for those?Are we building 163 for the peak? 164 165 L. Triebert: They are peak hour analysis, so we do take a look if it's intersection specific, it's going to be 166 generally between your 6:00 AM and 8:00 AM peak. And then your 4:00 PM four and 6:00 PM peak and 167 so to answer your question, yes, they're peak hour analysis. We do have some daily numbers that are 168 more from the model that we could dig further into. Or, you know, there could be an opportunity to look 169 at just other hours of the day. I'd have to go back and see what kind of available data we have for that. 170 That may be able to allay some of those concerns. 171 172 S. Appel: Well, the other part of it is, when would the counts done? I mean, we've just come through two 173 years where there was very little traffic. Well, there was traffic, but it wasn't necessarily normal volume. 174 And then you have now. And section 4.6.2 is the crash data and its narrative in there and it does not 175 reflect over what period where those incidents were, and there's not, you know, it didn't seem like there 176 was data. And I know one of your recommendations is to lower the speed limit to 35, which I'm a little 177 concerned about because sometimes lowering the speed limit on a road like that could potentially cause 178 more accidents as people used to driving that road at high speeds become frustrated, then try to pass 179 against the line and so on. 180 181 L. Triebert: So, the existing conditions report went a lot deeper into the crash analysis and you know it 182 was taken over a 5-year period. But let me get back to traffic counts those were originated with 2019 183 data. We also, though, used streetlight data which is more current and uses basically cell phone 184 technology to help tell where cars are, to help calibrate a "base year current year" which I believe was 185 2023, and then we projected out to 2050. So that's kind of the background of the traffic analysis years 186 and when the data came from and 187 188 N. Trivedi: And the projection is using the state-approved projection rate. 189 190 L. Triebert: Yeah, it's using the model. 191 192 N. Trivedi: Yeah, it's using the adopted model that both the status adopted, and the triangle original 193 model is that also adopted in the MTP. So, it's approved methodology that's being used. 194 195 S. Appel: And when was the model adopted? 196 197 N. Trivedi: And when the 2045 MTP was done, the 2050 MP was done. Yeah, I'll have to get you the 198 exact date. 199 200 L. Triebert: There was a model that was approved, I think in early 2023. 201 202 J. Hamilton: It was most recently updated in October.
