The Sidewalk Master Plans provides an inventory o f existing sidewalk infrastruc ture, identifies design deficiencie s, evaluates future sidewalk re quirements and contains an implementation plan for all pedestrian facilities within the City of Georgetown City limits. The imple mentatio n plan is utilized by City staff to assist in the prioritization of future pedestrian infrastructure improvements. The Sidewalk Maste r Plan is a stand-alo ne docume nt, serving as the primary sidewalk facility management plan with regulatory authority conferred by the City of Geo rge to wn Ove rall Transportation P lan (OTP). This study also serves as an adde ndum to the City of Georgetown Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Transition Plan by pro viding a project list for ADA co mpliance improvements within the City. The Georgetown sidewalk prioritizatio n methodology evaluated four majo r categories: pedestrian attractors, pedestrian safety, demographics and special c onsiderations. Three tiers of projects were identified through the analysis: Priority 1, P riority 2 and Priority 3. The highe st project list (Priority 1) captures the public ’s three main priorities: sidewalks in the Downtown Overlay District, co nnectivity to Southwestern University and connectivity to Georgetown ISD facilities as well as accessibility projects designed to bring the City into co mpliance with the Ame ricans with Disabilities Ac t (ADA).This Plan reco mmends the c ompletio n of Priority 1 projects; accounting for the size , cost and staff ’s ability to deliver tho se pro jects in a 10 year timeframe. The pro gramming of these prio ritized projects is in additio n to the annual operations and maintenance o f pedestrian facilities within the City. STAF F RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the adoption of the 2017 Sidewalk CIP. FINANCIAL IMPACT: $2.179M as funded by the 20 15 Road Bond.

That Study was co mpleted in February 2 01 5. Highlights of that re port included: The traffic projections will substantially stay the same in the future, irrespective of the Rocky Hollo w Trail opening and future po pulation increase within Sun City. The study acknowledges that Rocky Hollo w Trail is an alternate for traffic but the model makes the assumption that existing ADT on Majestic Oaks will c ontinue due to the establishment o f habit for c urrent drivers within Sun City. Rocky Hollow Trail and Pedernales Falls and other access po ints to Ronald Reagan will allo w fo r future distributio n of vehicular trips but not a pro jecte d decrease in traffic through Woo dland P ark. The Level of Service at the inte rsectio ns studie d is Leve l of Service A during peak hours, with “A” being the optimum e valuation level for roadway congestion analysis On April 14, 201 5, based o n a recommendation fro m representatives from bo th the Woodland Park neighborhood and Sun City neighborhoo d, a tempo rary c lo sure study was approved by City Co unc il (minutes attached). This strate gy inc luded a study of existing co nditio ns, closure once Rocky Hollow Creek Drive was o pened to CR 245 in Sun City, and reope ning after traffic studies were completed. Based upon the opening of Ro c ky Hollow Creek Drive in Sun City, a tempo rary closure of West Majestic Oaks occurred on September 2 8, 2015, that remained in effect until January 19, 2016. Since that time traffic counts have been co mpleted o n West Majestic Oaks, Ro cky Hollo w Creek and Apache Moutain. Staff is presenting the results o f the traffic studies to date to City Co uncil at their June 28 , 20 16 City Council Meeting. City Council directio n on April 14, 2015, include d re porting back to City Council with the results of the traffic counts. FINANCIAL IMPACT: N/A SUBMITTED BY: Edward G. Polasek, AICP Transportation Services Dire cto r ATTACHMENT S: Description Wood Park Ac c es s TIA Ap ril 14, 2015 Minutes Majestic Oaks Traffic Study by Woodland Park R es id ents Majestic Oaks Up d ate MEMO JHB-EGP - W Majes tic Oak Vo lume Analys is Page 15 of 104 Ag e n c y Re v i e w Page 16 of 104 MEMORANDUM A recent roadway connection between Sun City and the Woodland Park subdivision has resulted in concerns of cut-through traffic being voiced by the residents of Woodland Park. The new connection is from an extension of Majestic Oak Lane (in Woodland Park) to Apache Mountain Lane (in Sun City). As a component of the traffic impact analysis (TIA) of a proposed expansion of the Sun City residential development, the City of Georgetown requested that the issue of cut-through traffic be evaluated. Currently, the TIA evaluates future site traffic as if the connection were closed. The appearance is that the connection between Sun City and Woodland Park is being utilized by the residents of Sun City to access FM 2338/Williams Drive. Cut-Through Traffic Impact Daily traffic currently utilizing the connection between Sun City and Woodland Park was collected using ATR tube counts. Traffic entering and exiting the Woodland Park neighborhood via FM 2338 was quantified using turning movement counts (TMCs) at the two Woodland Park access points to FM 2338. In addition, TMCs were collected at three intersections within Woodland Park in order to verify trip distribution inside the neighborhood. Tube Counts The volume of cut-through traffic was obtained using pneumatic 24-hour tube counts in October of 2014. The northbound and southbound cut through traffic counts on Majestic Oak Lane just south of Apache Mountain Lane are presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2, respectively. The total amount of daily cut-through traffic in the northbound direction is 650 vehicles, and the total amount of daily cut-through traffic in the southbound direction is 733 vehicles.

RE: Woodland Park Access Analysis Ag e n c y Re v i e w Page 17 of 104 February 4, 2015 Re: Woodland Park Access Analysis Page 2 of 6 results in a daily total of 1,383 vehicles traveling between the neighborhoods of Sun City and Woodland Park. Figure 1: Northbound Traffic on Majestic Oak Lane South of Apache Mountain Lane Figure 2: Southbound Traffic on Majestic Oak Lane South of Apache Mountain Lane During the AM peak hour of the tube counts (8:00 AM – 9:00 AM) there are 66 vehicles traveling northbound through Woodland Park to Sun City and 33 vehicles traveling southbound from Sun City through Woodland Park. During the PM Peak hour (4:00 PM – 5:00 PM) there are 77 vehicles traveling southbound from Sun City through Woodland Park and 48 vehicles Ag e n c y Re v i e w Page 18 of 104 February 4, 2015 Re: Woodland Park Access Analysis Page 3 of 6 traveling northbound through Woodland Park to Sun City. These peak hour volumes are shown in Table 1. Table 1: Peak Hour Cut-Through Traffic Volumes (Vehicles per Hour) AM Peak PM Peak Northbound (toward Sun City) 66 48 Southbound (away from Sun City) 33 77 Turning Movement Counts Turning Movement counts were collected during the AM and PM peak hours at the following intersections:  FM 2338 and FM 3405/Four T Ranch Road  FM 2338 and Woodland Park  Woodland Park and Majestic Oak Lane (internal to Woodland Park)  Sunset Ridge and Majestic Oaks Lane (internal to Woodland Park)  Four T Ranch Road and Sunset Ridge (internal to Woodland Park) The resulting LOS and delay during existing conditions, with the connection between Sun City and Woodland Park open, are presented in Table 2. Although additional cut-through traffic is observed during mid-day (as seen in Figure 1 and Figure 2), intersections are more likely to experience delays during the peak hours. For this reason, the peak hours were used to analyze the highest potential delay throughout the day. Table 2: Existing (2014) Conditions with the Existing Connection Intersection MOE With Existing Connection AM Peak PM Peak Woodland Park and FM 2338 LOS A A Delay (s) 1.6 1.4 FM 3405/Four T Ranch Road and FM 2338 LOS A A Delay (s) 6.1 5.3 Woodland Park and Majestic Oak Lane LOS A A Delay (s) 5.7 5.2 Sunset Ridge and Majestic Oaks Lane LOS A A Delay (s) 0.5 0.3 Four T Ranch Road and Sunset Ridge LOS A A Delay (s) 4.2 6.2 Based on the Sun City and Woodland Park connection were to remain open, no more than 52 new site trips in the AM peak hour and 54 new site trips in the PM peak hour are expected to use the cut-through to access to Williams Drive by 2023. This is based on the Sun City Ag e n c y Re v i e w Page 19 of 104 February 4, 2015 Re: Woodland Park Access Analysis Page 4 of 6 Expansion site plan at full build out and proximity of the proposed neighborhoods to the cut- through connection. These volumes are relatively low and are not expected to impact any of the recommendations made in the Sun City Expansion TIA. ITE Trip Generation The peak hour volumes obtained from the TMCs at the intersections were compared to the ITE trip generation rates calculated from an approximate rooftop count of the Woodland Park development. This comparison was made to help ascertain the proportion of the traffic volumes at the access points to Woodland Park associated with the residents of Woodland Park and external traffic (potentially Sun City) utilizing these intersections. These trip generation rates, along with the current entering and exiting traffic volumes at the intersections of FM 2338 with FM 3405/Four T Ranch Road and Woodland Park, are provided in Table 3. Table 3: Entering and Exiting Traffic Volumes and ITE Trip Generation Volumes for Woodland Park AM Peak PM Peak Source Enter Exit Enter Exit ITE Trip Generation 46 139 152 89 Turning Movement Counts 42 156 142 89 As shown in Table 3, current entering and exiting volumes for Woodland Park are relatively consistent with ITE trip generation volumes. This indicates that traffic entering and exiting Woodland Park at FM 2338 is consistent with trips generated by Woodland Park. Cut-Through Connection Use Typical primary trip patterns for residential land uses are outbound (exiting) in the AM peak hour and inbound (entering) in the PM peak hour. This logic, along with the directional flow of the peak hour tube counts shown in Table 1, indicates that a portion of the cut-through traffic is likely made up of trips originating in the Woodland Park development and using the Sun City street network to access locations to the north and northeast of Woodland Park via Ronald Reagan Boulevard. In order to validate this, the northbound and southbound traffic volumes from the AM peak hour TMCs and the ATR counts were compared. Residential trips occurring during the AM Peak hour are typically comprised of trips leaving a residence and traveling to work and/or school and are more likely to be the first trip of the day for the driver, thereby minimizing the potential for trips returning to home rather than leaving home. By similar logic, PM peak hour trips are expected to be more diverse with regards to whether the trip is inbound or outbound. Ag e n c y Re v i e w Page 20 of 104 February 4, 2015 Re: Woodland Park Access Analysis Page 5 of 6 Therefore, the AM peak hour traffic was used to evaluate the relationship between the TMCs and tube counts. To estimate the maximum possible volume of cut-through trips, a route assignment scenario was performed for the AM peak hour. Using TMCs at the two Woodland Park access points on FM 2338, entering traffic volumes were assigned routes through Woodland Park by applying percentages from the internal TMCs.As a conservative estimate, all northbound traffic entering the Woodland Park development was assumed to be cut-through traffic. At intersections where TMC data was not available, all traffic was assumed to take the route most suitable for a cut- through trip (i.e., no portion of traffic was attributed to return trips generated by Woodland Park). Therefore, the volume of cut-through traffic was only adjusted when a measured TMC percentage routed traffic away from a potential cut-through route. The same process was applied to southbound trips entering Woodland Park at the connection with Sun City to calculate the maximum number of trips that could be cut-through trips. Table 4 and Table 5 show the existing entry/exit volumes from the TMCs at the two Woodland Park access points, the maximum possible cut-through traffic calculated using the TMCs internal to Woodland Park, and the existing cut-through volumes from the tube counts at the cut-through connection. Table 4: Northbound Trips during AM Peak Location Trips Volume Entering Woodland Park from FM 2338 64 Maximum possible NB Cut-Through Volume 44 Volume Exiting Woodland Park at Connection 66 Minimum NB Traffic Exiting Woodland Park at Connection Generated by Woodland Park 22 Table 5: Southbound Trips During the AM Peak Location Trips Volume Entering Woodland Park at Connection 33 Maximum possible SB Cut-Through Volume 33 Volume Exiting Woodland Park at FM 2338 122 Minimum SB Traffic Exiting Woodland Park at FM 2338 Generated by Woodland Park 89 As seen in Table 4, approximately 22 more trips are traveling northbound through the connection from Woodland Park to Sun City than are entering Woodland Park from FM 2338. Therefore, it can be inferred that at least a third of the northbound cut-through traffic is due to residents of Woodland Park cutting through Sun City to travel north or northeast. The volumes Ag e n c y Re v i e w Page 21 of 104 February 4, 2015 Re: Woodland Park Access Analysis Page 6 of 6 shown in Table 5 indicate that the 33 southbound trips in the AM peak are most likely originating in Sun City and using Woodland Park to access FM 2338. This, in combination with the AM and PM Peak hour flows through the connection facilitating the cut-through, indicate that residents of both Woodland Park as well as Sun City are currently utilizing the connection. Furthermore, the expansion of Sun City includes a proposed access route directly to CR 245. This connection will provide a comparable alternate route for Sun City Residents if the connection were to be closed; however, Woodland Park residents will not have access to a comparable route toward the north if the connection is closed. Conclusions Traffic currently utilizing the connection between Sun City and Woodland Park has been quantified and the use of the connection has been evaluated. The Sun City Expansion TIA does not currently route any future year site traffic through the cut-through connection. Should the connection remain open, traffic volumes using the connection in the AM and PM peak hours are relatively low and are not expected to impact any future year improvement recommendations made in the Sun City expansion TIA. A greater number of vehicles utilize the connection during mid-day; however, these vehicles are not expected to coincide with higher demand at the adjacent intersections during the peak period and are therefore unlikely to cause issues at the intersections during off-peak hours. Furthermore, the AM and PM peak flows at the connection as well as their comparison to entering and exiting Woodland Park traffic at the two intersections with FM 2338 indicate that the cut-through traffic is not comprised solely of Sun City traffic. Based on the collected data, it appears that a significant portion of traffic utilizing the connection has origins within the Woodland Park development. Subsequently, residents of Woodland Park may be negatively impacted by the closure of this connection.
