Varadero <br />Traffic Study <br /> <br />Page 31 <br />6.0 CONCLUSIONS <br /> <br />An assessment of the traffic impacts associated with the Varadero project was performed. All of <br />the analyzed intersections currently operate, and will continue to operate within the City’s adopted <br />LOS standards. As with existing and future without project conditions, the minor approaches and <br />southbound left movement at the Collins Avenue / 186th Street and Collins Avenue / 188th Block <br />intersections are projected to operate at low levels of service and experiencing some delay. As <br />previously mentioned, this is due to the fact that for un-signalized intersections the software tends <br />to overestimate delay measurements for the minor approaches and does not account for gaps in <br />traffic created by the upstream signalized intersections to allow the minor street traffic flow. If the <br />minor approach delays do reach the software estimates, observed behavior shows drivers will find <br />alternate routes. <br /> <br />An assessment of circulation as it relates to the valet services during the PM peak hour was <br />performed. The queuing analysis shows that the anticipated queue at the designated valet drop-off <br />/ pick-up areas during the typical PM peak traffic conditions can be accommodated within the <br />project site at each of the three proposed stations. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
