b) c) 14) Chestnut Street and Hillcrest Drive; and 15) Chestnut Street and Holland Street. iii) Perform pedestrian, bicycle, bus, and heavy vehicle counts concurrent with turning movement counts at the above intersections during the AM and PM peak periods. iv) Perform peak period travel time runs from 7:00-9:00 a.m. and from 4:00-6:00 p.m. through the study area network along LBJ Drive to document existing travel conditions for validation of existing condition CORSIM models. Model Existing Traffic Operations, to include: i) Coordination with the City to obtain existing signal timing and phasing information; ii) Coordination with the City and TxState to obtain information on existing bus routes within the study area network; and iii) Performance of field review of all roadways and intersections within the study area to observe existing traffic operations, pedestrian and bicycle activities, document existing geometrics, lane assignments, and traffic control devices, for inclusion in the corridor operations study. Perform micro-simulation model, to include: i) Preparation of Synchro Models 1) Prepare existing AM and PM peak hour traffic models using "Synchro 7.0" to document existing intersection levels of service within the study area; 2) Coordinate with the City and the project team to obtain necessary information including design year traffic volume data and growth projections; 3) Coordinate with the City and TxState to obtain information on proposed construction projects in the vicinity of the study area; 4) Coordinate with the City and the project team to identify up to three (3) alternatives for proposed reconstruction of LBJ Drive; 5) Based on information obtained from the City, prepare design year daily traffic projections and turning movement forecasts for each of the design alternatives; and 6) Based on the existing traffic model, prepare alternative AM and PM peak hour traffic models using "Synchro 7.0" to document levels of service within the study area. ii) Preparation of CORSIM Microsimulation Models 1) Using the existing AM and PM peak hour traffic models in "Synchro 7.0," prepare traffic micro-simulation models using CORSIM for roadways within the study area; 2) Run and calibrate the existing peak hour traffic models in CORSIM to reflect real world traffic conditions within the study area network; 3) Using the existing calibrated traffic models as the base, and incorporating signal timing and phasing developed in Synchro, develop AM and PM peak hour traffic models in CORSIM to reflect transportation network configurations associated with proposed reconstruction alternatives. Four (4) scenarios associated with proposed design of LBJ Drive will be modeled for 6
