1.0 INTRODUCTION

Tetra Tech Canada Inc. (Tetra Tech) was retained by Cressey Developments to undertake a traffic impact assessment (TIA) for a proposed commercial development to be located on a lot at the northwest corner of the intersection of West 6th Avenue and Yukon Street in Vancouver, BC. The proposed development will comprise of 17,450 ft2 of retail space and 158,765 ft2 of office space. The basic information of the land is provided in Table 1.1, location and site relative to its environs is shown in Figure 1.

Table 1.1: Site Information

The traffic impact assessment considered weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour conditions for the 2018 (assumed opening year) and the 2023 horizon year. The analysis covers the impact of site traffic at the intersection of West 6th Avenue and Yukon Street. This study examined the potential need for road improvements that may be required to mitigate any adverse impacts associated with the proposed development.

2.4 Existing Transit Service

There are a number of transit services in close proximately to the site. The Olympic Village transit loop is located approximately a 4 minute walk away from the site. This transit loop services Route #15, #50, #84 and the Canada Line Skytrain station. Route #15 services areas in Vancouver by running from Marine Drive to Olympic Village along Cambie Street. Route #50 services Vancouver / downtown Vancouver and runs from Olympic Village to Waterfront. UBC and Vancouver Community College are serviced by Route #84. The Canada Line provides service to downtown Vancouver, as well as Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Richmond City Centre. The site is also approximately a 5 minute walk away from a southbound bus stop on Cambie Street providing additional access to Route #17. This route offers service between Marine Drive and downtown Vancouver.

The site is considered to have very good transit accessibility which should contribute to reducing the vehicle trip generation from the development compared with a more suburban location.

2.5 Existing Traffic Volumes

New turning movement counts were undertaken specifically for this study at the study intersections. Counts covered the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak periods. A summary of the a.m. and p.m. existing link volumes are provided in Tables 2.3 and 2.4 and illustrated in Figure 2.1.

3.0 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC INTERSECTION ANALYSIS

The key intersections were analyzed using the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 methodology as implemented in Synchro 9. For signalized intersections, the operational analysis methodology gives three indicators for the overall performance of an intersection and for the individual turning movements. The first is the volume to capacity ratio (v/c) where the volume is the number of vehicles wishing to make a certain movement, and capacity is the maximum number of vehicles that can be accommodated in an hour. This takes into account the number of lanes available for the movement, whether the movement is protected or permitted, conflicting traffic, the cycle length, and the amount of green time the movement receives. The higher the v/c ratio, the more congested the intersection becomes. When the v/c ratio is greater than 1.00, this indicates that more vehicles wish to make a given movement than are able to, due to the limited capacity. The second measure, the average delay per vehicle, is based on the cycle length, the green time for each movement, and the v/c ratios. The third measure is the level of service which is established from the average delay. The larger the average delay – and the higher the v/c ratio – the worse is the level of service. Table 3-1 shows the relationship between level of service and delay.

Table 3.1: Intersection Level of Service (HCM 2010)

Level of Service Control Delay/Vehicle

(Signalized Intersection) Delay

Control Delay/Vehicle

(Unsignalized Intersection)

A ≤ 10 Little or no delay ≤ 10

B > 10 and ≤ 20 Short traffic delays > 10 and ≤ 15

C > 15 and ≤ 35 Average traffic delays > 15 and ≤ 20

D > 20 and ≤ 55 Long traffic delays > 20 and ≤ 35

E > 35 and ≤ 80 Very long traffic delays > 35 and ≤ 50

F > 80 Failure > 50

West 6th Traffic Study_IFU_rev1.docx

The generally accepted guidelines for determining whether or not a signalized intersection needs to be upgraded is that all individual movements should operate with a v/c ratio of 0.90 or less.

If the above threshold is not achieved, any signal changes required to achieve these levels should be identified. These cover changes to signal timings and phasing, for example adding advanced phases for left turn movements and possible elimination of certain turning movements, but not the provision of additional capacity with extra through or turn lanes.

When traffic generated by a development is added to an intersection and the v/c ratio of a specific movement that was less than 0.90 under background conditions is now greater than 0.90, then improvements must be identified to allow the movement to operate at the 0.90 value.

If the movement was above 0.90 under background conditions, then the original v/c ratios must not be exceeded, i.e., the operation of the movement must be no worse as a result of the development.

The study intersections were analyzed under 2018 and 2038 peak hour traffic conditions using the above approach. The results are summarised in Table 3-2.

The analysis takes into account the high volume of trucks using the network in the vicinity of the site.

Based on the analysis the study intersection is operating well under background traffic conditions. No improvements will be required through to 2038 to accommodate background traffic growth.

4.0 SITE TRAFFIC

4.1 Development Concept

The proposed development will comprise 17,453 ft2 of retail space and 158,767 ft2 of office space. Potential uses of the commercial space have not yet been determined. Access to the site is proposed via a single location at the south end of the site. The latest site plan is illustrated in Figure 5.

4.2 Trip Generation

The trip generation from the site was initially established using standard ‘street peak’ trip generation rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers’ Trip Generation Handbook, 9th Edition. The trip rates for a ‘General Office Building’ (Land Use 710) was applied to the office component, while the rates for a ‘Shopping Centre’ (Land Use 820) was applied to the commercial component of the development. To account for site’s proximity to the

Cambie Street Canada Line Station, a 40% reduction factor was applied. A summary of the anticipated trip generation is provided in the table below.

Reduction 40% 106 92 14 121 28 92

Total 159 137 22 181 43 139

*Note: The trip generation and intersection capacity analyses (Section 4 and 5) were based on the latest site plan available at the time of undertaking the analyses. A new site was made available on August 31, 2017 with minor changes to the GFA of the different uses (16,504 ft2

of retail and 155,147 ft2 of office space). Given that the GFA for both the office and commercial components decreased, the trip generation

and the subsequent analyses were not redone; therefore, the subsequent analyses can be considered conservative.

Based on the trip generation the site is anticipated to generate 159 vehicle trips in the a.m. peak hour and 181 trips in the p.m. peak hour. Trips will be predominantly inbound in the a.m. peak and outbound in the p.m. peak hour.

4.3 Trip Distribution and Assignment

The site traffic trip distribution was based on a review of existing traffic patterns. The assumed site traffic trip distribution for the a.m. and p.m. peak hours is illustrated graphically in Figure 4.1.

7.2 Bylaw Requirements

A review of the proposed parking supply was undertaken to assess the extent to which the parking supply meets the requirements under the City of Vancouver Bylaw. The City requirements were based on Section 4.1.7 of the Off-Street Parking Space Regulations of the City of Vancouver’s Zoning Bylaw for the Mount Pleasant Industrial Area. The off-street parking requirements are summarized below.

West 6th Traffic Study_IFU_rev1.docx

At least one parking space for each 145 m2 of gross floor area for the first 290 m2 of gross floor area, and one additional space for each additional 70 m2 of gross floor area; and

Not more than one space for each 40 m2 of gross floor area.

Based on a total gross floor area of 15,947 m2 (14,413 m2 office, 1,533 m2 retail), the site requires a minimum of 226 stalls. The proposed parking supply of 307 stalls will exceed this requirement by 81 stalls.

7.3 Off-Street Bicycle Space Requirements

The number of spaces required for the off-street bicycles parking were calculated according to Section 6.2 of the City’s Parking Bylaw. Based on the bylaw, both the office and commercial component requires a minimum of one Class A space per 500 m2 of GFA. This translates to a total of 32 off-street bicycle parking spaces. Given that 40 stalls are proposed, no modifications are required to satisfy the bylaw requirements. The off-street bicycle parking requirements are summarized in Table 7.2.

Our conclusions and recommendations are as follows:

The site will be located at the northwest corner of the intersection of West 5th Avenue and Yukon Street. The property currently occupied by a collision repair shop.

The site is located within walking distance of the Olympic Village Canada Line Station. There are also a number of bus routes that service the site and its surrounding areas.

The intersection of West 6th Avenue and Yukon Street is anticipated to operate well under background traffic conditions. No improvements will be necessary through to the 2023 horizon year.

The site will comprise 17,453 ft2 of retail space and 158,767 ft2 of office space.

One site access will be provided from the back lane just north of West 6th Avenue. No access from West 6th

Avenue or Yukon Street will be provided.

Assuming a 40% reduction to account for the site proximity to transit, the site is anticipated to generate 159 vehicle trips in the a.m. peak hour and 181 vehicle trips in the p.m. peak hour.

The study intersection of West 6th Avenue and Yukon Street will continue to operate well under post development traffic conditions.

Based on the City’s bylaw, the site requires 226 off street parking spaces, 32 bike parking spaces, and 7 loading stalls. The proposed development will satisfy these requirements.
