The project is currently proposed to include the development or redevelopment of four separate areas. These areas being redeveloped include the West Day Lot, Lionshead Core Area,Tennis Court Site along Forest Road, and North Day Lot. As of the date of this study, the following project description identifies the current Vail Resorts' Lionshead Development program evaluated within this report: West Day Lot • 90 hotel units • 113 condos • 16 recreational/seasonal second homes Core Area • 89 hotel units • 69 condo units • 35,300 square feet of commercial space (retail and restaurant) • 75 parking spaces (to be made available to members of the Ski Club) Tennis Court site • 4 recreational/seasonal second home sites (each potentially being constructed as a duplex,creating a total of 8 units) North Day Lot • • 144 beds of employee housing • 16,000 square feet of Vail Resorts offices (being relocated as part of the Core Area redevelopment) It is assumed that full development of this area is expected to occur around year 2005, and was therefore analyzed with this horizon. The analysis of a long-term 2025 horizon is also included within this study,as required by the Colorado Department of Transportation(CDOT). Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 1 Regional access to the proposed redevelopment is expected to continue to be provided by I-70. Primary access will be gained from the South Frontage Road. Direct access to the Core Area is to be gained from Lionshead Place/West Lionshead Circle for hotel guests. Commercial attracted trips are expected to primarily use the Parking Structure. West Lionshead Circle and Forest Road will provide direct access to the hotel expansion on the West Day Lot. Access to the residential development at the tennis court site will be along Forest Road. West Lionshead Circle will provide access to the North Day Lot for the office and employee housing units being relocated. ( The purpose of this study is to identify 1traffic generation characteristics, identify' P otential traffic related impacts on the local street system, and to develop mitigation measures required for identified Vail Resorts development impacts. Additionally, the Town of Vail requested that this report analyze traffic conditions at the following four roadway intersections: • South Frontage Road and Lionshead Village Parking Structure Access • South Frontage Road and West Lionshead Circle (eastern location) • South Frontage Road and West Lionshead Circle (western location) • South Frontage Road and Forest Road Three of these intersections provide direct access to the proposed redevelopment sites and will have an associated increase in traffic. The fourth intersection of South Frontage Road and the Lionshead Parking Structure was included based upon Town of Vail request. This study has been prepared in accordance with the Town of Vail traffic study scope. The entire Vail Resorts' Lionshead Redevelopment Project is expected to generate approximately 166 morning peak hour and 202 afternoon peak hour new vehicle trips added to the surrounding street network. It is important to consider that the Core Area currently contains uses that add to current traffic conditions. In order to provide the most accurate analysis, credit was taken for the existing employee housing, office, and retail trips currently generated by the site. ' Cr; Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 2 0 0 Distribution of site traffic on the street system was based on the Master Plan's Lionshead (' CVillage Transportation Analysis prepared for the Town of Vail by Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (October 1998) and the street system expected to exist in the future. Distributions were prepared separately for the development areas/lots based upon differences in site location and site access. Assignment of project traffic was based upon the trip generation described previously and the distribution developed. i 1 Based on the analysis presented in this report, the proposed Vail Resorts Lionshead Development will be successfully incorporated into the future traffic operations. The proposed project development and expected traffic volumes resulted in the following conclusions: • The expected net increase in vehicular traffic for the identified Vail Resorts Lionshead redevelopment combined is 166 morning and 202 afternoon peak hour trips. • Near Term Improvements Needed Today without Vail Resorts' Projects: o Separate northbound left and right turn lanes at the intersection of the Parking Structure with South Frontage Road o Dedicated westbound left turn lane at the intersection of the Parking Structure with South Frontage Road o Dedicated eastbound right turn lane at the intersection of the Parking Structure with South Frontage Road (per CDOT State Highway Access Code) i o Dedicated westbound left turn lane at the western intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road o Dedicated eastbound right turn lane at the western intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road (per CDOT State Highway Access Code) o Dedicated eastbound and westbound left turn lanes at the intersection of Forest Road with South Frontage Road i CLionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 3 i • Near Term Improvements Needed with All Vail Resorts' Projects: o Dedicated westbound left turn lane at the eastern intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road • Long Term(2025)Improvements Needed Without Vail Resorts' Projects: o Acceleration lane for northbound to eastbound right turning vehicles exiting the Parking Structure at the South Frontage Road • Long Term(2025) Improvements Needed with All Vail Resorts' Projects: o Separate northbound left and right turn lanes at the eastern intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road o Separate northbound left and right turn lanes at the western intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road • No right turn acceleration lanes along the South Frontage Road are necessary due to the 25-mile per hour speed limit of the roadway, per CDOT State Highway Access Code. However as previously identified,in the long term 2025 horizon a right turn acceleration lane would benefit northbound to eastbound right turning vehicles exiting the parking structure. It is recommended that the Town of Vail monitor volumes at this intersection in the future to determine if and when this improvement may provide benefit to intersection operations. • Left turn deceleration lanes with storage plus taper length (7.5:1) should be provided at locations with a projected left turn peak hour vehicle volume movement greater than 25 vehicles per hour per the CDOT State Highway Access Code. Based upon expected traffic volumes these left turn lanes were found to be warranted at the South Frontage Road intersections with the Lionshead Parking Structure access, eastern West Lionshead Circle location, western West Lionshead Circle location, and Forest Road. It is understood that the Town of Vail has planned that South Frontage Road be designed and constructed with an auxiliary continuous bi-directional center left turn lane at and Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 4 I through the study area This center turn lane would provide dedicated left turn deceleration and storage lanes at the key intersections to separate left turn vehicles from the through movements. In addition, this shared center turn lane may further improve operations of the intersections by providing northbound left-turning vehicles a refuge or accelerate zone before entering the main stream of traffic along the frontage road. • Right turn deceleration lanes with storage length plus taper length should be provided at locations with a projected right turn peak hour vehicle volume movement greater than 50 vehicles per hour per the CDOT State Highway Access Code. Therefore, right turn lanes are expected for the eastbound approaches at the parking structure entrance and the West Lionshead Circle west intersection location. These right turn deceleration lanes should be constructed based upon the recommended storage length plus the 7.5 to 1 taper. This results in a right turn lane of 150 feet at the Parking Structure access and 250 feet at West Lionshead Circle. C 11; Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 5 2.0 INTRODUCTION Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) has been retained by Vail Resorts to prepare this report to document the results of a Traffic Impact Study of future traffic conditions associated with the proposed Lionshead Redevelopment project located along the south side of the I-70 South Frontage Road in Lionshead Village in Vail, Colorado. The vicinity map illustrating the project location is shown in Figure 1. f The purpose of this study is to identify trip generation characteristics, potential traffic related impacts on the local street system, and to develop mitigation measures required for identified impacts. This study has been prepared in accordance with Town of Vail standards and includes Level of Service (LOS) analysis performed for identified study area intersections. This study specifically includes evaluation of the following key intersections as shown in Figure 2: • South Frontage Road and Lionshead Village Parking Structure Access • South Frontage Road and West Lionshead Circle (eastern location) • South Frontage Road and West Lionshead Circle (western location) • South Frontage Road and Forest Road The project is currently proposed to include the development and/or redevelopment of four separate parcels: West Day Lot • 90 hotel units • 113 condos • 16 recreational/seasonal second homes Core Area • 89 hotel units • 69 condo units • 35,300 square feet of commercial space (retail and restaurant) • 75 parking spaces (to be made available to members of the Ski Club) Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 6 CO Tennis Court site • 4 recreational/seasonal second home sites (each potentially being constructed as a duplex,creating a total of 8 units) North Day Lot • 144 beds of employee housing • 16,000 square feet of Vail Resorts offices (being relocated as part of the Core Area redevelopment) It is assumed that full development would occur prior to 2005, and was therefore analyzed with • this horizon year The Town of Vail has also requested a long-term 2025 horizon be analyzed within this study. • Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 7 r ._„_ • CHVN NORTH NTS 067867001 LIONSHEAD VILLAGE L7 j // i , ---1 ----A........_,,,, ----___ ----....,,S\------ /..,..„..______77.,,,,„„.„-) / I:7 -7-- ___//1.--- ,_ ------___ i t i 1 H VAIL VILLAGE . • ki) te-- 1 ✓ Y � y `- f FIGURE 1 LIONSHEAD REDEVELOPMENT SITE LOCATION Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Kimley-Hom Page 8 I 1:::Mr1 and Associates,Inc.

Direct access to the Core Area is to be gained from both Lionshead Place/West Lionshead Circle for hotel guests. Commercial attracted trips are expected to primarily use the parking structure. West Lionshead Circle and Forest Road will provide direct access to the hotel expansion on the West Day Lot. Access to the residential development at the tennis court site will be along Forest Road. West Lionshead Circle will provide access to the office and employee housing on the North Day Lot. The Town of Vail identified four project intersections along these roadways for evaluation: • South Frontage Road and Lionshead Village Parking Structure Access • South Frontage Road and West Lionshead Circle (east) • South Frontage Road and West Lionshead Circle (west) • South Frontage Road and Forest Road South Frontage Road is a CDOT roadway (classification F-R) with one travel lane in each direction along the south side of Interstate 70. Primarily, the frontage road is located north of Lionshead Village. The roadway has a speed limit of 25 miles per hour through the project area. West Lionshead Circle and Forest Road are collector roadways with one lane of travel in each direction. The intersections of these roadways with the South Frontage Road are stop controlled on the minor street approach with free flow movements along the Frontage Road. Existing lane configurations and traffic control at the key intersections studied are shown in Figure 3.

These time periods were chosen by the Town to represent the maximum adjacent street peak hour volume as these were believed to vary from the typical 7:00 to 9:00 AM and 4:00 to 6:00 PM time periods. These summer turning movement counts were then compared to counts conducted on President's Day Weekend 1997 from the Lionshead Village Transportation Analysis conducted by Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (October 1998). Comparisons of the traffic volumes conducted during the winter and summer holiday weekends found that the peak wintertime conditions had the higher traffic volume associated with it. These winter morning and afternoon peak hour turning movement counts at the key intersections are shown in Figure 4. Detailed traffic count sheets are available in Appendix B. It is important to note that traffic volumes for the Lionshead Village Parking Structure were taken directly from the wintertime counts due to a majority of the traffic at this intersection being created by skier traffic entering and exiting the parking garage during the winter. tLionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 12 ( 0 , NTS 067867001 IN NORTH LEGEND • Study Area Key Intersection ERvN XX(XX) AM(PM)Peak Hour Traffic Volumes 1;;:>;ms's;r:�v s`Fi>Y:. 1 TENNIS COURT T.vT'•s SITE J 09 �'ra .::: / Fn r---r\0 G0,9 IP4E _-- _--- 90 (� p __ m__'&iafffi:'�..:� —_ - -- _ _:HOT EL EXPANSION :' _ --'� _-_ _ (WEST DAY LOT) f/ Eas _ =--' _= ('' AN7L - _ — —_ __ T _ �4 - AC L - — — F MAINTENANCE '° �'� fr 1 THE MARRIOTT cr Imo---- 5�� )ccREAREA- F0= WEST r///��� Cil , ��P ENZIAN �VAILSPA �'1 �� • AT VAIL EAST LIONSHEAD •49 OD { % k ✓wOP _ E LANDMARK fPpt'R G {) SOVSN PARKING VILLAGE ( _ t } N TMDAV LOT fPON PpOPOPp 1-70 EASTBOUND C71—.

These traffic volumes were determined for the future prior to the addition of project traffic from the redevelopment project, called the background condition. The 2005 background pre development traffic volumes were obtained by first applying a 15 percent growth rate to the 1997 traffic volumes to obtain counts comparable to counts conducted along South Frontage Road in 2000. A 2 percent annual growth rate was then applied to the South Frontage Road to obtain 2005 background traffic projections. This growth rate was obtained from the Lionshead Village Transportation Analysis prepared by Felsburg Holt & Ullevig (October 1998). This growth rate was based upon the historical and expected growth in skiers to Vail as provided in the Master Plan. Background traffic volumes for 2005 are shown in Figure 5. The Town of Vail and CDOT guidelines also requested that a long-term 2025 analysis be provided. A 2 percent growth rate was provided and used to represent growth from the short- term 2005 horizon until the long-term 2025 horizon along South Frontage Road. Background pre development traffic volumes for 2025 are shown in Figure 6. cor Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 14 I 0 • NTS 067867001 NORTH LEGEND Eo • Study Area Key Intersection XX(XX) AM(PM)Peak Hour Traffic Volumes JJ TENNIS igii ii SITCOURT E : p OAF P, - — ..!s >E a E \ NM 067867001 NORTH LEGEND EEVN • Study Area Key Intersection XX(XX) AM(PM)Peak Hour Traffic Volumes jf TENNIS COURT[t -:: _SITE ti °I, VNrT AF GP r OET n ..._ANTLERS _ _.---1 _ _ _ ' MAINTENANCE FACILITv ) MfRRIOn OR ALE J '-''.

Rates are applied to proposed land uses to estimate traffic generated by developments during a specific time interval. The acknowledged source for trip generation rates is the current edition of the Trip Generation Reports published by Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE). ITE has established trip rates in nationwide studies of similar land uses. Based upon a request from the Town of Vail for this study, Kimley-Horn used ITE Trip Generation Report trip rates that apply to Apartment (220), General Office Building (710), Resort Hotel (330), Specialty Retail (814), Recreational Homes (260), and Residential Condominium/Townhouse (230) for traffic associated with the development. ITE does not provide trip generation rates for the skier club membership program and the parking spaces provided to ski club members along with the membership. Therefore, it was necessary to develop a specific trip generation rate for this land use apart from ITE. The following paragraphs describe the project by development area, as well as project traffic volumes associated with the redevelopment project. West Day Lot The West Day Lot located just west of West Lionshead Circle along the South Frontage Road is anticipated to be developed with 90 hotel rooms, 113 condos, and 16 recreational/seasonal second homes. This development would replace the 160 on-mountain employee parking spaces, already relocated to the Holy Cross/Maintenance Site. Trip generation for the 90 hotel rooms was based on ITE Land Use Code: Resort Hotel (330). The 113 condos were estimated for trip generation based upon ITE Land Use Code: Condominium/Townhouse (230) and the 16 recreational/seasonal second homes were estimated for trip generation based upon ITE Land Use Code: Recreational Homes (260). These ITE Land Uses are believed to be the most appropriate to estimate trip generation based upon development characteristics. 1 Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation: An Information Report, Seventh Edition, Washington DC,2003. Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 17 Core Area The Core Area redevelopment located along Lionshead Place is planned to consist of 69 condo units, 89 hotel rooms, and 35,300 square feet of supporting retail uses. This development would replace 32,480 square feet of commercial space (retail and restaurant), 18,000 square feet of offices, and 100 employee beds. All of these existing uses were anticipated to previously generate vehicle trips. Since the existing Core Area consists of development generating vehicle trips, credit was taken for these existing trips previously generated by the site, as the commercial (retail and restaurant) will be redeveloped on the existing site and the employee housing and office uses will be relocated to the North Day Lot. Trip generation for the existing offices was calculated using ITE Land Use Code: Office (710). The proposed hotel rooms were calculated using ITE Land Use Code: Resort Hotel (330). Trip generation was calculated for the retail space using ITE Land Use Code: Specialty Retail (814). The proposed condo trip generation was calculated using ITE Land Use Code: Residential Condominium/Townhouse (230). The proposed ski club is anticipated to have 75 members who will have parking privileges at the Core Area. These club members will be allocated 75 parking spaces within the parking structure beneath the Core Area building. On a typical busy weekend day, all parking spaces are anticipated to be occupied. Therefore, the parking spaces are expected to attract 75 entering and 75 exiting, or 150 total trips per day. To determine the number of trips that would occur during a common peak hour, information was obtained relative to anticipated club member activity. Based upon information from Vail Resorts, it is expected that approximately 25 percent of skiers arrive within a common peak hour. Therefore,the resultant trip generation for the Ski Club would be 19 vehicle trips during the peak hour. These trips would most likely be seen as 19 entering vehicles during the morning peak hour and 19 exiting vehicles during the afternoon peak hour. Applicable assumptions as presented in the Town of Vail's Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan and Lionshead Village Transportation Analysis were followed with this study. This Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 18 Cry included the 75 percent primary internal trip generation reduction within the Lionshead Transportation Analysis. Due to the pedestrian nature of Lionshead Village, a majority of the trips generated by the retail redevelopment in the Core Area are expected to be made by people who are already skiing and/or staying in the Lionshead area. In fact, it is believed that this percentage may even be greater. However, to provide a conservative analysis and to be consistent with the Master Plan Study,the retail generation was reduced 75 percent to eliminate the double counting of trips following the same procedure used within the Lionshead Redevelopment Master Plan. Tennis Court Site The existing Tennis Court site located along Forest Road, just east of the Gondola line, is proposed to be developed with four (4) recreational/seasonal second home sites. However, each site may be constructed as a duplex. To provide a conservative analysis, trip generation was completed assuming 8 units total on this site. To estimate vehicle trip generation from these future homes, the ITE Land Use Code:Recreational Homes (260)was used. North Day Lot The North Day Lot currently provides parking for 105 on-mountain employee vehicles being relocated to the Holy Cross/Maintenance Site. The North Day Lot is proposed to accommodate 144 beds of employee housing and approximately 16,000 square feet of Vail Resorts offices. The proposed development of 144 beds of employee housing on this site actually may not generate any new vehicle trips during the peak hour. Vail Resorts is planning that this housing may be for employees that do not need a vehicle and who will walk to and from work. To provide a conservative analysis, an estimate of vehicle trips per ITE was assigned to the street network. To estimate the trip generation of the proposed office space and employee housing ITE Land Use Code:Office (710) and Apartments (220) were used,respectively. Lir Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 19 Trip Generation Summary Table 1 summarizes the estimated net traffic generation for the development. The trip generation worksheets are included in Appendix B. These calculations illustrate the rates used, directional distribution of trips, and number of daily trips. The calculations provide for the net development to estimate new vehicle trips (future development minus existing development being removed) generated by Vail Resorts' Lionshead Redevelopment. New trips are vehicles that are attracted to Vail by development of additional hotel rooms, dwelling units or retail space.

The directional distribution of traffic is a means to quantify the percentage of site-generated traffic that approaches a project site from a given direction and departs the site in the same direction. Distributions were prepared separately for the West Day Lot site, Core Area redevelopment site, Tennis Court site, and North Day Lot based upon differences in site location and access. Figures 7 through 10 illustrate the expected project trip distribution for the hotel expansion on the West Day Lot site, Core Area redevelopment,Tennis Court site, and North Day Lot,respectively.

The acknowledged source for determining overall capacity is the current edition of the Highway Capacity Manual2. Capacity analysis results are listed in terms of Level of Service (LOS). LOS is a qualitative term describing operating conditions a driver will experience while traveling on a particular street during a particular time interval. It ranges from A (very little delay) to F (long delays and congestion). The Town of Vail recommends LOS C or better as the measure of desirable level of service and LOS D as acceptable level of service during the peak hours. The intersection operations for background (prior to the addition of project traffic) and total (with project traffic added) traffic peak-hour conditions at key intersections were analyzed using the unsignalized analysis methodologies found in the Highway Capacity Manual2 (HCM) using the Highway Capacity Software (HCS 2000) program, Release 4.1. The following provides a discussion of the level of service results on an intersection-by-intersection basis (calculations in Appendix C). 2 Transportation Research Board,Highway Capacity Manual,Special Report 209,Washington DC,2000. Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 32 a CrSouth Frontage Road and Parking Structure Access It was found that the intersection of South Frontage Road with the parking structure access is expected to operate at a deficient level of service prior to the addition of project in 2005. The northbound movement at this unsignalized intersection is expected to operate at LOS F with extremely long delays during the afternoon peak hour in 2005 before the addition of project traffic. Based upon the results of the analysis and the expected magnitude of turning movements in both short term 2005 and long term 2025 horizons, the northbound approach should be designated with separate left and right turn lanes. Sufficient pavement width is believed to exist for this improvement. A westbound left turn lane was also found to be required at this intersection in 2005 prior to project development. In addition, an eastbound right turn lane along South Frontage Road was found to be needed (pre development) based on the State Highway Access Code for category F-R roadways by 2005. These turn lanes are expected to improve operations at this intersection by separating left and right turn traffic from the through movements. The shared center turn lane area would likely further improve operations by providing northbound left-turning vehicles a refuge or acceleration zone before entering the main stream of traffic along the frontage road. It is recommended that the Town of Vail consider implementation of these turn lanes to improve the existing traffic situation at this intersection. With these improvements, the northbound approach level of service improves to LOS C during the afternoon peak hour with or without the addition of project traffic in 2005. All movements are expected to operate with acceptable level of service, with or without the addition of project traffic in the long term horizon year. However, it is believed that northbound to eastbound right turning vehicles exiting the Parking Structure would benefit from an acceleration lane along South Frontage Road in the long term horizon. The Town of Vail and CDOT should consider this improvement in the future as through volumes increase along South Frontage Road. Table 2 provides the results of the level of service capacity analysis. kaw Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 33 ILO '100/ Table 2- South Frontage Road/Parking Structure Access LOS Results AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour Delay Delay Scenario (sec/veh) LOS (sec/veh) LOS 2005 Short Term(without project) Westbound Approach 9.2 A 8.9 A Northbound Approach 24.9 C 297.6 F 2005 Short Term(without project) Westbound Left* 9.2 A 8.9 A Northbound Left* 15.7 C 18.9 C Northbound Right* 11.0 B 18.1 C 2005 Short Term(with project) Westbound Left* 9.4 A 9.1 A Northbound Left* - 16.4 C 20.7 C Northbound Right* 11.4 B 20.3 C 2025 Long Term(without project) Westbound Left* 10.3 B 9.8 A Northbound Left* 19.1 C 30.6 D Northbound Right* 13.1 B 31.3 D 2025 Long Term Improved(without project) Westbound Left* 10.3 B 9.8 A Northbound Left* 19.1 C 30.6 D Northbound Right* Free A Free A 2025 Long Term(with project) I ''.

However, with the addition of project traffic in 2005, it is anticipated that a two-way left turn lane is recommended to be installed that will provide a deceleration lane for westbound left turning vehicles turning onto West Lionshead Circle at this location as well as an acceleration lane for northbound left turning vehicles turning onto the Frontage Road. With this improvement, all movements are expected to operate acceptably with the addition of project traffic in the 2005 horizon year. With the addition of project traffic in 2025, separate northbound left and right turn lanes are anticipated to be needed to maintain acceptable level of service along West Lionshead Circle. Table 3 provides the level of service results at this intersection.

This is due to the northbound left turning vehicles having difficulty entering the South Frontage Road due to the high through volumes. The northbound approach is expected to benefit from a two-way left turn lane along the Frontage Road. This two-way left turn lane will allow vehicles to enter the Frontage Road more easily by having a designated lane to turn into before merging with through traffic. By 2025, the northbound approach would benefit from separate left and right turn lanes to serve project traffic. With these improvements, all movements are expected to operate acceptably in the near term and long term horizons. Table 4 provides the level of service results at this intersection.

Li 1-1 ci) — --- 1 co' 6.0 CONCLUSIONS (P* Based on the analysis presented in this report, Kimley-Horn believes the proposed Vail Resorts Lionshead Redevelopment will be successfully incorporated into the future traffic operations. The proposed project development and expected traffic volumes resulted in the following conclusions: • The expected net increase in vehicular traffic for the identified Vail Resorts Lionshead redevelopment combined is 166 morning and 202 afternoon peak hour trips. • Near Term Improvements Needed Today without Vail Resorts' Projects: o Separate northbound left and right turn lanes at the intersection of the Parking Structure with South Frontage Road o Dedicated westbound left turn lane at the intersection of the Parking Structure with South Frontage Road o Dedicated eastbound right turn lane at the intersection of the Parking Structure with South Frontage Road (per CDOT State Highway Access Code) o Dedicated westbound left turn lane at the western intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road o Dedicated eastbound right turn lane at the western intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road (per CDOT State Highway Access Code) o Dedicated eastbound and westbound left turn lanes at the intersection of Forest Road with South Frontage Road • Near Term Improvements Needed with All Vail Resorts' Projects: o Dedicated westbound left turn lane at the eastern intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 44 • Long Term (2025)Improvements Needed Without Vail Resorts'Projects: o Acceleration lane for northbound to eastbound right turning vehicles exiting the Parking Structure at the South Frontage Road • Long Term (2025) Improvements Needed with All Vail Resorts' Projects: o Separate northbound left and right turn lanes at the eastern intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road o Separate northbound left and right turn lanes at the western intersection of West Lionshead Circle with South Frontage Road • No right turn acceleration lanes along the South Frontage Road are necessary due to the 25-mile per hour speed limit of the roadway, per CDOT State Highway Access Code. However as previously identified,in the long term 2025 horizon a right turn acceleration lane would benefit northbound to eastbound right turning vehicles exiting the parking structure. It is recommended that the Town of Vail monitor volumes at this intersection in the future to determine if and when this improvement may provide benefit to intersection operations. • Left turn deceleration lanes with storage plus taper length (7.5:1) should be provided at locations with a projected left turn peak hour vehicle volume movement greater than 25 vehicles per hour per the CDOT State Highway Access Code. Based upon expected traffic volumes these left turn lanes were found to be warranted at the South Frontage Road intersections with the Lionshead Parking Structure access, eastern West Lionshead Circle location, western West Lionshead Circle location, and Forest Road. It is understood that the Town of Vail has planned that South Frontage Road be designed and constructed with an auxiliary continuous bi-directional center left turn lane at and through the study area. This center turn lane would provide dedicated left turn deceleration and storage lanes at the key intersections to separate left turn vehicles from the through movements. In addition, this shared center turn lane may further improve Ly Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 45 • C operations of the intersections by providing northbound left-turning vehicles a refuge or accelerate zone before entering the main stream of traffic along the frontage road. • Right turn deceleration lanes with storage length plus taper length should be provided at locations with a projected right turn peak hour vehicle volume movement greater than 50 vehicles per hour per the CDOT State Highway Access Code. Therefore, right turn lanes are expected for the eastbound approaches at the parking structure entrance and the West Lionshead Circle west intersection location. These right turn deceleration lanes should be constructed based upon the recommended storage length plus the 7.5 to 1 taper. This results in a right turn lane of 150 feet at the Parking Structure access and 250 feet at West Lionshead Circle. Lionshead Redevelopment Traffic Impact Study Page 46
