allow for 3 buses to pull-off the Frontage Road if there is additional need

Traffic Impact Study • Completed by Kimley-Horn and Associates • Full Traffic Impact Study is provided in your EV Notebook • Curtis Rowe, P.E., PTOE
EV Trip Generation • West Side: 59 Morning Peak Hour /90 Afternoon Peak Hour • East Side: 192 Morning Peak Hour /295 Afternoon Peak Hour • Total EV: 251 Morning Peak Hour /385 Afternoon
Peak Hour
Traffic Impact Study Methodology • Town of Vail standards and requirements • Evaluated project access and adjacent public street intersections • 2015 and 2025 Horizon Years • Synchro,
HCM, Rodel, and Sidra Evaluations
Frontage Road Alignment • Adjacent and parallel to I-70 • Four lane section, 80 ft. right-of-way one thru lane in each direction raised median westbound left turn decel and
accel lanes eastbound right turn decel and accel lanes 10 ft. bike /overflow parking lane • Existing Frontage Road to connect to Forest Road in New Roundabout • West Lionshead
Circle intersect with Forest Road 200 ft. south of roundbout
Frontage Road
Proposed Access • Frontage Road Access One full movement Two three-quarter movements One right out only • Forest Road Extension Access Two full movement
Traffic Study Findings and Recommendations
Frontage Road Driveways • All movements LOS C or Better in 2025
Ever Vail Roundabout • Overall LOS A in both AM and PM peak hours in 2030
Forest Road • West Lionshead Circle stop approach (LOS B or better) • Market Street access stop approach (LOS A) • South access -All way stop control (LOS B or better)
“Ever Vail project traffic will be accommodated on surrounding street network”

Parking Structure • Exits and Entries will have Parking Access and Revenue Control Systems Records daily transactions On-line with a facility management software system Will
be monitored and managed on-site
Pay-on-Foot System • Will pull a ticket upon entry to structure • Inserts it into cashiering station (POF Machine) before returning to vehicles • Fees are based on length of stay • POF
returns ticket • Upon exit, ticket inserted into exit verifier and gate opens for exiting
Recommendations • New technology will require significant signage. Exit verifiers will also need to have ability to accept payment for those who do not understand.
Recommendations • West structure has two entry lanes and two exit lanes. Center lane is reversible for peak traffic. • East structure has two entry lanes and two exit lanes. • This lane
configuration provides a high level of service for anticipated demand.
Recommendations • Resident and monthly patrons should have a transponder or tag for entry and exit. • This provides a high Level of Service at the entry/exit points and improves traffic
flow on the ramps.
Recommendations • Resident and monthly patrons are partitioned from public use • One entry and one exit lane are “nested” in each parking structure for resident and monthly patrons.
• This reduces traffic in the general public parking area and improves security.

Core Area Background • Core Area Parking Requirements were adopted in 2000 • FHU analyzed parking generation rates • Looked at: skier visits parking structure transactions land
uses per sq. ft. parking turnover rates traffic counts
Core Area Background • Created parking generation rates based specifically on characteristics of the Village cores mixed-use transit and pedestrian trips, including CME usage
hourly variations in business activities
Core Area Background • Found generally a 30% reduction in need for parking • Multi-trip factor -you park once, but stop for coffee, buy gloves at the ski shop, ride the gondola, have
apres at the bar
�
� �
� �
� Core vs. Non-Core
25% Reduction
• Multi-Use Credit has been taken by
all core area projects -Four Seasons, Arrabelle, Vail Plaza Hotel, Solaris, Strata, Sonnenalp
Ever Vail Core Area • Core Area Parking Requirements only apply to the parking generated by the uses onsite • 400 skier spaces and the 318 replacement spaces are not reduced through
either

Core Area Parking Requirements Why should Ever Vail be within the Core Area for Parking Requirements?
EV Characteristics • Mixed-use development • Transit-and pedestrian-oriented • Shared parking facilities • Significant portion of employees housed on-site (unlike other core area) •
New gondola
Mixed-Use Development • Commercial -retail, restaurant/bar, skier services • Residential -mix of residential sizes, unit type, employee housing, hotel • Public -VRD space, DEVO drop-off,
community meeting space, climbing wall
Transit-oriented • Transit Center with capacity for 4 buses Green/Red line haul routes Eco-buses • In-town bus stop • Hotel shuttle drop-off (west side) • Flex transit uses on
Market Street and Frontage Road
Pedestrian Oriented • Entire site within 1,000 ft. walkable distance to the gondola • Majority of site within 500 ft. • Central Plaza nonvehicular • West Side residential non-vehicular
Shared Parking Facilities • Entirely below-grade parking structure • Total of 1,551 parking spaces • 718 spaces provided which are not affected by Core Area Requirements
Employee Housing • 34 for-sale employee housing units • 14 rental housing units • All deed-restricted, many with income restrictions
Gondola • Skiers are shopping • Shoppers are skiing
