REQUEST TO COUNCIL (Agenda Language): DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF regarding the
recommendations of the "Intersection Configuration Assessment Study; Avenue of the Fountains at La Montana Drive".
Applicant: Amara Ibeji/CK Group
Applicant Contact Information: Tele. 602-482-5884; E-mail: aibeii@theckgroup.com
Owner: Town of Fountain Hills
Owner Contact Information: NIA
Property Location: Avenue of the Fountains at La Montana Drive
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle: N/A
Staff Summary (background): CK Engineering has provided their contracted traffic engineering report
assessing the configuration alternatives for the Avenue of the Fountains/La Montana Drive intersection. (Copy
attached.)
CK's report evaluated a number of alternative intersection concepts, as follows, including a schematic drawing
(for Alternatives 1-5), and a Pro's/Con's Table (for Alternatives 1-4 ):
* Concept 0 - Traffic Signal (Can't do. Doesn't/won't meet an MUTCD Warrant.)
* Concept 1 - Tighten intersection (Concept Drawing attached.)
* Concept 2 - Single Lane Oval Roundabout (Concept Drawing attached.)
* Concept 3 -"Michigan" Left Turn (Concept Drawing attached.)
* Concept 4 - One -Way Signing for Divided Roadway (Concept Drawing attached.)
* Concept 5 - Do Nothing (Existing Aerial attached.)
Additionally, the report evaluated modifications to two nearby traffic situations, which could be used in
conjunction with most/all intersection alternatives, as follows:
* Post Office Driveway Modifications - for the 2 driveways on AOTF, and for the mailbox drop-off lane on La
Montana. Extensive coordination/acceptance by the U.S. Post Office will be needed for these modifications.
* Street Diet along La Montana
This intersection currently calculates as operating at a good Level of Service (LOS) B during all peak hours
(AM, Noon, and PM peaks) (which is above the Town's calculated LOS C for major collector street design,.
Scottsdale's LOS D for intersection design (ref: "Design Standards and Policy Manual", Section 5-1.901), and
MCDOT's LOS C design for Urban Major Collectors (ref: "Roadway Design Manual, Section 2.1.2.4)).
However, despite several past signingistriping modifications, the Avenue of the Fountains/La Montana
intersection has never functioned well, due to the pre -incorporation, wide median width on Avenue of the
Page 1 of 3
Fountains. (Note: Traffic Engineering textbooks recommend against having medians at this pre -incorporation
median width; they're too wide to function well as one intersection, but too narrow to function well as two
separate intersections. The other intersections having the wide median on Avenue of the Fountains have not
been as big of an issue as La Montana to date since:
* The Saguaro Blvd. intersection is a tee intersection, and so has much less complex traffic operations than
does a 4 -way intersection like La Montana.
* The Verde River intersection has had virtually no traffic on its southern leg to date, and consequently has
effectively functioned similar to a tee intersection, and with only a small amount of traffic on its other (north)
side street leg, it has not been a major issue to date. (Note: After opening the Park Place project, which
accesses onto the south leg of this intersection, Staff is concerned that the Verde River intersection may
experience the same type of issues as does the La Montana intersection, despite its traffic report to the
contrary. The first future improvement to that intersection will likely be to implement an All -Way Stop
configuration (when warranted), as is currently in place at A©TFILa Montana and at AOTF/Saguaro.
The report makes no recommendation for which alternative to select, due to the amount of non -engineering
(i.e. political & social) considerations that need to be evaluated/considered by the Town Council, including:
• Public Acceptance
* Cost vs. Traffic Flow Improvement
* Access Modifications
* Right -of -Way Acquisitions
If desired to minimize initial costs or as a test, either Concept 1 (Tighten Intersection) or Concept 3 (Michigan
Left Turn) could potentially be initially implemented with interim signing, striping, markings, and/or barricades;
to test their effectiveness, public acceptance, and for any unanticipated consequences. However, full
implementation of Concepts 1, 2, or 3; the Post Office driveway modifications; and/or the Street Diet along La
Montana would need to be programmed into the Town's CIP, due to their extensive consultant design and
contractor construction costs needed. Concept 4 ((ane -Way Signing for Divided Roadway) could be fully
implemented at a reasonable cost, primarily by Town Staff.
Risk Analysis (options or alternatives with implications): N/A
Fiscal Impact (initial and ongoing costs; budget status): Evaluated qualitatively in report.

Recommendation(s) by Board(s) or Commission(s): N/A
Staff Recommendation(s): The intersection configuration for this intersection is a Town Council policy
decision, including several alternatives that have not been previously used in Fountain Hills, so the Report and
Town Staff have not made a recommendation as to which alternative to select.

CCK GROUP
AVENUE OF THE FOUNTAINS AT LA MONTANA DRIVE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Town of Fountain Hills (Town) is
located in Maricopa County, about 30
miles northeast of downtown Phoenix. The
Town is bordered by McDowell Mountain
Regional Park on the north, the Salt River
Pima-Maricopa Indian Community on the
south, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation
on the east, and the City of Scottsdale
on the west. Refer to Figure 1 (right), for
depiction of the general location of the
Town on a regional map.
At the request of the Town Council, the
CK Group, Inc. (CK) was retained by the
Town Development Services Department
to conduct an engineering analysis to
review the geometric and operational
configuration for the intersection of Avenue
of the Fountain (AOTF) and La Montana
Dr. A primary concern of the Town is that
the All -Way Stop control at the intersection
may not be functioning efficiently as a
result of the wide median widths and lane
configuration.
Figure 2 (below) depicts the traffic control
configuration at this intersection.
FIGURE 1: VICINITY MAP
FIGURE 2: TRAFFIC CONFIGURATION
CCK GROUP 4
2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
2.1 Roadway Configuration
The intersection of AOTF and La Montana Car is
an All Way stop -controlled intersection. It is a wide
intersection with a separation of approximately
160 feet between the north and south approach
stop bars. There is a wide landscaped median
separating the east and west approaches. This
wide median defines the large layout of the
intersection. Refer to Figure 2 on page 4.
AOTF: is an east west curvilinear major collector
roadway between Saguaro Blvd and Palisades
Blvd, It is striped with two lanes in each direction
between La Montana Dr and Palisades Blvd
with a wide raised median, and exclusive left -
turn pockets for the residential and business
accesses, and there are bike lanes, curb and
gutter in both directions. There is sidewalk on both
sides of AOTF except for the section fronting the
undeveloped parcel at the northwest corner of
La Montana Dr and AOTF. AOTF is posted with a
speed limit of 30 MPH in this section of the road.
Between La Montana Dr and Saguaro Blvd, AOTF
is striped as a wide 24 -foot lane single lane. It
has angled on -street parking on both sides of
the street. It has a posted speed limit of 25 MPH
between La Montana Dr and Saguaro Blvd.
The wide median separating the eastbound and
westbound lanes is landscaped and decorated
with artistic pedestrian friendly features. AOTF is
regarded as an art friendly corridor.
La Montana Dr: runs in a north -south direction
with one travel lane in each direction, and a
two-way center left turn lane. La Montana Dr is
classified as a major collector and is approximately
64 feet curb to curb. It has a posted speed lit -nit
of 25 MPH between AOTF and Palisades Blvd
in the northbound direction and 30 MPH in the
southbound direction. Northbound between El
Lago Blvd and AOTF, the speed limit is posted at
30 MPH.
2.2 Data Collection
Traffic Volumes: The Town provided 2014 24--
hour weekday counts collected along the project
corridors within the vicinity of the intersection and
conducted 24-hour weekend counts (April 7-10,
2017) to assist in determining the intersection
peak hour periods.
STUDS I
Review of the 24-hour counts collected shows
that the peak traffic occurs at slightly different
times than the normal early morning or late
evening peak periods. The peak hour for both the
weekday and weekend periods were observed
to occur between 1 DAM -Noon, Noon to 2PM and
3PM to 5PM.
Field Data Services Inc. (I=DS) performed traffic
turning movement data collection on Thursday,
April 20 and Saturday, April 22, 2017, at the
project intersection, as well as at the post office
driveway and drop off locations.
Although some individual movements had higher
traffic volume on Saturday vs. Thursday peak
hour, the higher traffic volumes were generally on
Thursday.
The existing traffic counts are summarized in
Figure 3 (next page). Raw count data sheets are
included in Appendix A.
Crash Data Analysis: The Town provided
crash data for the previous 5 -year period for the
intersection. Crash data was provided for the
period from 2012 to 2017. A total of 12 crashes
occurred during the five-year period reviewed. Out
of the 12 crashes, 2 were injury crashes with no
fatalities. Six of the 12 crashes (50%) occurred
on the west leg of the intersection and were
eastbound to southbound angle accidents.
The crash data provided is shown in Appendix B.
Level of Service (LOS) Analysis — LOS is a
term used to denote the different operating
conditions which occur on a given roadway
segment or intersection under varying traffic
volumes, It is a qualitative measure used to
describe a quantitative analysis taking into
account factors such as roadway geometry,
signal phasing, speed, travel delay, freedom to
maneuver, and safety. LOS analysis provides an
index to the operational qualities of a roadway
segment or an intersection.
CC!( GROUP 5
FIGURE 3: EXISTING CONDITION PEAK HOUR TURNING MOVEMENT VOLUMES
STUDY I
LOS designations range from "A" through "F", with
LOS "A" representing the best operating conditions
and LOS "F" representing the worst operating
conditions. LOS designation is reported differently
for signalized and unsignalized intersections, as
well as for roadway segments. Table 1 (below)
shows LOS delay thresholds for signalized and
unsignalized intersections.
Calculations of LOS for signalized intersections is
based on anticipated average control delays per
vehicle over a 15 -minute analysis period for peak -
hour turning movement volumes. Control delay
includes initial deceleration delay, queue move -up
time, stopped delay, and acceleration delay.
The current intersection operation analysis was
conducted for the weekday and weekend RM
and PM peak -hour conditions according to the
Highway Capacity Manual requirements using
Synchro 9 for an All Way Stop Controlled (AWSC)
intersection.

The LOS analysis was performed using existing
traffic counts collected on April 20 and 22, 2017.
Traffic analysis worksheets are included in
Appendix C.
Table 2 (above) shows the results of the LOS
Analysis.
The overall intersection level of service was
determined to operate at LOS "B" during both AM,
Noon, and PM peak hour periods respectively.
2.3 Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
A signal warrant analysis was performed at the
intersection of Avenue of the Fountains and La
Montana Dr. to determine if any warrant for a
traffic signal will be met under existing conditions.
Federal Highway Administration's (FHWA) Manual
on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD),
2009 Edition, provides a description of the nine
types of signal warrants.
Only those warrants for which the data was
available, were analyzed to determine if a traffic
signal is warranted.
Table 3 (below) shows the MUTCD traffic signal
warrant analysis results. The worksheets and
charts for the traffic signal warrant analysis are
included in Appendix D.
The results of the signal warrant analysis
indicate Peak Hour Vehicular warrants for the
installation of a traffic signal are not currently
met at the intersection.

3.0 ASSESSMENT OF FUTURE CONDITIONS
3.1 Traffic Volume Forecasts
Future year 2040 volume projections for the Town
were obtained from the Maricopa Association of
Governments (MAG) travel demand model. The
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) projections
obtained from MAG are included in Appendix F.
Existing year traffic volumes were obtained from
MAG for the project intersection and corridors.
The future MAG traffic volumes were compared
to the existing MAG traffic volumes to estimate
the anticipated growth rate for the Town between
current- and 2040 -year conditions.
A growth rate of approximately 9% was obtained.
The growth rate was applied to the existing turning
movement counts at the project intersections
to determine projected 2040 peak -hour turning
movement counts.
It should be noted that the nearby properties are
currently undeveloped but planned to be soon
developed more intensely than existing properties
in that area (commercial vs. multifamily) with
more floors, the intersection could experience
moderately higher traffic growth sooner.
Figure 4 (below) shows the projected 2040 turning
movement volumes for the project intersections.
EKCK GROUP
STUDY I
3.3 Traffic Signal Warrant Analysis
A signal warrant analysis was performed using the
volumes shown in Figure 4 (below). The results of
the analysis indicate that warrants for a signal will
not be met for Year 2040 conditions.
3.3 Roundabout Analysis
CK researched other cities and towns in the
state of Arizona and beyond to assess various
ways traffic can be controlled at locations similar
to the project intersection. The preferential use
of roundabouts was observed as one of the
top considerations. Locations observed include
several intersections in the La Jolla community in
San Diego, California; several intersections in the
City of Carmel, Indiana: and several locations in
the state of Washington. As part of this effort, CK
also reviewed a prior Roundabout Feasibility Study
prepared for the project intersection. Installing
a roundabout at the project intersection was
further reviewed due to the potential benefits of a
roundabout over other modes of traffic control.
According to studies done by others, including the
FHWA and the Insurance Institute for Highway
Safety, roundabouts demonstrate the following
FIGURE 4: PROJECTED YEAR 2440 TURNING MOVEMENT VOLUMES
benefits over the traditional stop sign or
signal controlled intersections:
• 75% reduction in injury collisions
90% reduction in fatality collisions
• 37% reduction in overall collisions
40% reduction in pedestrian collisions
Encourages low travel speeds through
the intersection
• Reduction in travel delay
• Improves traffic flow
In addition to the benefits highlighted,
roundabouts offer the opportunity to create
an aesthetically pleasing gateway at major
intersections in a community. Several
municipalities both within the state and
in the country have used roundabouts at
intersections of significance.
The Pictures 1-4 (right) show some of
the locations we looked at as part of this
analysis.
The City of Scottsdale currently has
several roundabouts and smaller traffic
circles within Its jurisdiction. Other
metro agencies including both phoenix
and AQUT have installed a number of
roundabouts.
A roundabout analysis was performed
to determine lane requirements if a
roundabout is installed for traffic control
at this intersection. The roundabout lane
determination analysis was based on
methodologies specified in NCHRP Report
672, Roundabouts: An Informational
Guide, 2nd Edition (Guide),
According to Exhibits 3-14 of the Guide,
a single -lane entry is sufficient for an entry
volume range of 0 to 1,000 veh./hour. The
entry volumes to the project intersection
from each direction during the peak hours
are less than 300 veh.lhour for existing, as
well as future year 2040 conditions, which
indicates a single -lane roundabout will be
sufficient at this location. This observation
is in line with the observations made in
the prior Roundabout 'Feasibility Study
performed at the project intersection.

4.0 SCHEMATICS — RECONFIGURATION
ALTERNATIVES
Several other alternatives to enhance
traffic and safety operations were
developed based on the review of the
intersection. The potential improvements
included implementing signing and striping
modifications, as well as geometric
improvements at the intersection. The
potential improvements concepts have
been developed with the goal of minimizing
removal of existing improvements at the
intersection.
The proposed improvement alternatives
include:
1. Tightening the intersection to reduce the
distance between the approaches
2. Converting the intersection into an oval
roundabout configuration
3. Implementing a Michigan left -turn
concept
4. One-way signing
5. No action
A concept for a road diet is also proposed
along La Montana Dr.
In tandem with the various improvements
proposed, the following are
recommendations:
1. Improve the roadway median opening
at the westerly access to the post office
into a full access opening
2. Restrict the easterly access into the post
office to exit only
3. Relocate the mail drop off box location
from adjacent to La Montana Dr into the
post office and adjacent to ROTE
The proposed alternative improvements
are shown and presented in Concepts 1-5
(right) and are discussed in detail on the
following pages. They are also included
as Appendix F, The details include key
pros and cons of proposed alternative
improvements, as well as scale of cost.

4.1 Concept 1— Tighten Intersection
This concept minimizes removal of existing
improvements at the intersection. The goal of
the concept is to reduce the spread across the
intersection and shorten the distance a motorist
will transverse across the intersection.
The Town can implement this concept on a
temporary or interim basis using pavement
markings or as a long term feature with raised
curbs and signage to observe driver behavior and
reaction.
Table 4 (below) lists the pros and cons and Figure
5 (below) illustrates this concept.

4.2 Concept 2— Install An Oval Roundabout
As discussed above, use of roundabouts to control
traffic operation can be an efficient way to improve
traffic operations at locations such as the project
intersection. Installation of a roundabout will
utilize the existing wide layout of the intersection
without need for additional right-of-way, while

minimizing impacts to existing landscape features
at the intersection. To minimize impact to existing
median noses on AOTF, the roundabout has been
modified as an elliptical roundabout.

CONS
1. Major geometric improvements required
2. Introduces a new means of traffic control
3. Retains wide intersection footprints.
4. High cost
5. Potential initial driver confusion (first Town

4.3 Concept 3 — Michigan Left Turn
This concept utilizes the Michigan left -turn concept
to improve operations at the project intersection.
The Michigan left -turn concepts seeks to improve
intersection operations by eliminating left turns at
full access intersections. The concept proposes
eliminating north south access through the
intersection by connecting the raised median on
AOTF. This concept will require a new access
opening along the east median for northbound
vehicles.

4.5 Concept 5 - "Do Nothing" Alternative With these two recommendations implemented, it
The "Do Nothing" concept maintains the existing is envisioned that the post office drop off location
configuration and operation at the intersection. on La Montana Dr can be relocated into the post
office site (and/or the AOTF frontage right-of-way)
Figure 9 (below) illustrates this concept. and aligned parallel to AOTF.
4.6 Post Office Driveway Modifications
The proximity of the post office driveways to
the intersection was identified as a source of
impediment to efficient traffic operation at the
intersection. It was observed that vehicles use the
easterly driveway to exit the post office and then
make a quick U-turn at the intersection utilizing
the southbound lanes to go back westbound. This
movement places such motorists in conflict with
southbound vehicles. To alleviate this condition, a
recommendation to improve the westerly drive at
the post office to a full access driveway is shown
in the three concepts above. This would provide
an opportunity for vehicles going west to exit the
post office and avoid the intersection.
Secondly, northbound vehicles on La Montana Dr
were observed to make a left into the eastbound
lanes on AOTF to utilize the easternmost post
office driveway. The proposed options above
also aim to minimize this movement, however it
is recommended that this easterly driveway be
converted to an exit only driveway.
43 Street Diet Along La Montana Dr
As part of the intersection improvement analysis,
opportunities for improving traffic flows along the
two project corridors were reviewed. La Montana
Dr was identified to present an opportunity for
a street diet due to the wide lane configuration.
This will complement it with pedestrian friendly
improvements on AOTF. Picture 4 (page 9) shows
a schematic illustration of the proposed street
configuration for La Montana Dr. It is envisioned
that La Montana Dr between AOTF and Fl Lago
Blvd can be restriped to accommodate one
northbound and one southbound lane, a center
lane for two way left turn movement, bike lanes
and a parallel parking lane. The travel lanes on
La Montana Dr can be reduced to 11 -foot lanes.
The bike lanes and parking lane will be separated
by two or three foot buffer space. The proposed
recommendation is anticipated to improve the
livability of the immediate area especially in light of
the current development under construction in the
immediate vicinity.
Figure 10 (next page) illustrates this concept.

REQUEST TO COUNCIL (agenda Language): DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE DIRECTION TO STAFF regarding the
recommendations of the "Traffic Engineering Analysis Report: Shea Blvd. at Palisades Blvd. & Shea Blvd. at Fountain
Hills Blvd."
Applicant: Amara lbeji/CK Group
Applicant Contact Information: Tele. 602-482-5884
Owner: Town of Fountain Hills
Owner Contact Information: NIA
Property Location: Shea Blvd. at Palisades Blvd. and at Fountain Hills Blvd.
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle: NIA
Staff Summary (background):
CK Engineering has provided their contracted traffic signal evaluation report for the above -noted two existing
traffic signals. (Copy attached.)
CK Group's analysis showed that both of these existing traffic signals are currently operating at acceptable
levels of service, as follows:
Location: AM(PM) Peak
Shea Blvd. at: Delay (seclveh) Level of Service
Palisades Blvd. 15.1 {21.3} B (C)
Ftn. Hills Blvd. 34.1 (17.4) C (B)
(Note: Intersection Level of Service (LOS) ranges from A (best) - F (worst), and is based on the duration of
intersection delay. For reference, both MCDOT and Scottsdale require an LOS D or better at its arterial
intersections (ref: MCDOT's Roadway Design Manual, and Scottsdale's Design Policies and Standards
Manual). Both of these intersections currently operate above that minimum acceptable level of service.)
CK's recommendations are shown on page 18 of their report, and are summarized below (with Staff
implementation recommendations shown in CAPITAL LETTERS.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The Town of Fountain Hills (Town) is located in
Maricopa County, about 30 miles northeast of
downtown Phoenix. The Town is bordered by
McDowell Mountain Regional Park on the north,
the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community
on the south, the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation on
the east, and City of Scottsdale on the west. Refer
to Figure 1, for depiction of the general location of
the Town on a regional map.
At the request of the Town Council, the CK Group,
Inc. (CK) was retained by the Town Development
Services Department to conduct an engineering
analysis to address recurring traffic concerns at
the intersections of Shea Boulevard (Shea Blvd)
at Palisades Boulevard (Palisades Blvd) and
Fountain Hills Boulevard (Fountain Hills Blvd).
The traffic issues identified are outlined below
by location:
1.1 Shea Blvd at Palisades Blvd
Intersection
1. Request to eliminate, modify, restrict (to peak
hours) or continue to retain the "Right Turn on
Green Arrow Only" restriction.
2. Request to eliminate existing "U -Turn"
restriction.
3. Request to evaluate existing phasing scheme,
cycle length and timing plan using recent traffic
count data (including potentially eliminating the
westbound (WB) to northbound (NB) right -turn
overlap and or allowing the eastbound (EB) to
NB left turn on a green ball or flashing left -turn
arrow).
1,2 Shea Blvd at Fountain Hills Blvd
Intersection
1. Evaluate existing traffic signal head type,
layout, and locations for all directions, with
focus on the southbound (SB) traffic.
2. Request to eliminate existing "U -Turn"
restriction.
3. Request to evaluate existing phasing scheme,
cycle length, and timing plan using recent traffic
count data. Review possible elimination of the
WB -NB right -turn overlaps and or allowing EB -
NB left turn on a green ball or using flashing
left -turn arrow.
2.0 LOCATION OF STUDY
Primary vehicular access to the
Town is provided by Shea Blvd.
Shea Blvd connects the Town to the
greater Phoenix Metropolitan Area
through the City of Scottsdale. Shea
Blvd terminates at State Route 87
(SR 87), which connects the Town
to communities in the East Valley,
including the cities of Mesa, Chandler
and Gilbert. To the north, SR 87
crosses the Verde River, Goldfield
Ranch and the entrance to the
Saguaro Lake/ Salt River recreation
areas and on to Roosevelt Lake, and
the Town of Payson.
There are approximately 165 miles
of paved roadways in the Town.
Arterial roadways form the foundation
of the roadway system in the Town,
providing regional access and major
transportation links. Shea Blvd is
classified as a principal arterial.
Palisades Blvd and Fountain Hills
Blvd are classified as minor arterials.

ANALYSIS REPORT
3.0 EXISTiNG CONDITION
3.1 Shea Blvd at Palisades Blvd
A. Traffic Signal — The intersection is signalized
and controlled using an 8 -Phase timing scheme..
Field investigation revealed that the right -turn
movement for SB Palisades Blvd is controlled in a
protected overlap mode with EB Shea Blvd left -
turn movement, which operates in a lagging left
mode. NB and SB Palisades Blvd are split phased
This phasing configuration provides additional
opportunity for the notably heavy SB Palisades
Blvd right -turn movement to clear with minimal
delay and queue backup during peak traffic
conditions.
Underground conduit and fiber optic cable is in
place on Shea Blvd between the intersections
of Palisades Blvd/Shea Blvd and Fountain Hills
Blvd/Shea Blvd. However, there is no signal
interconnection between the two intersections.
B. Timing Plan —The existing timing and phasing
plan was provided by the Town with a maximum
cycle length of 140 seconds. The signal operates
as semi -actuated uncoordinated with unused open
time allocated to the main phase which is on Shea
Blvd.
C. Detection —Advance detection is present
for the east, west and north approaches to the
intersection along with presence video detection at
the intersection for all approaches.
A recent improvement linked the EB Shea Blvd
through movement with the SB Palisades Blvd
right -turn overlap using the SB Right presence
video detection.
D. Level of Service (LOS) Analysis — LOS is
the term used to denote the different operating
conditions which occur on a given roadway
segment or intersection under varying traffic
volumes. It is a qualitative analysis which takes
into account factors such as roadway geometry,
signal phasing, speed, travel delay, freedom to
maneuver, and safety. LOS provides an index to
the operational qualities of a roadway segment or
an intersection. LOS designations range from "A"
through "F", with LOS "A" representing the best
operating conditions and LOS "F" representing
the worst operating conditions. LOS designation
is reported differently for signalized and un -
signalized intersections, as well as for roadway
segments. Table 1 shows LOS delay thresholds
for signalized intersections.
Calculations of LOS for signalized intersections is
based on anticipated average control delays per
vehicle over a 15 -minute analysis period for peak
hour turning movement volumes, Control delay
includes initial deceleration delay, queue move -up
time, stopped delay, and acceleration delay.

An existing condition LOS analysis was conducted for the intersection during a typical weekday
AM and PM peak hour conditions according to the Highway Capacity Manual requirements using
Synchro 9.
The LOS analysis was performed
using existing peak hour traffic counts
collected on Thursday December 22,
2016, shown in Figure 2. Raw data
sheets for the traffic counts are included
in Appendix A.
The overall intersection existing LOS

4.0 TRAFFIC ENGINEERING ISSUES ANALYSIS
4.1 Shea Blvd at Palisades Blvd
A. Signal Phasing Analyses & Validation --
Result of the existing peak hour traffic operation
analysis indicates that the current signal phasing
and timing plan results in acceptable LCIS at the
intersection.
B. Use of Arrow vs. Bail — The existing traffic
signal head type and configuration was reviewed
against MUTCD section 4D requirements
specifically for the SB approach from Palisades
Blvd. The outcome indicates that the layout
satisfies MUTCD requirements for number of
signal heads for each movement and indication
type. While the straight facing arrows on the
5 -section head and Type R head are used for
the through movement, regular circular ball are
commonly used in similar situations. It is our
understanding that the Town has used the straight
arrow indications to further guide traffic through
the intersection.
C. Overlapping Schemes—The signal phasing
for the intersection has an overlap scheme for the
EB dual left -turn movement with the SB dual right -
turn movement, and for the SB left -turn movement
with the WB right -turn movement.
D. Right Turn on Green Arrow Only —An R10-
5 "Right on Green Arrow Only" sign is used to
restrict right turns from Palisades Blvd onto Shea
Blvd only during the green phase.
The Town had received complaints about this
restriction and asked for an evaluation of the need
to either retain, remove or limit the restriction to
the peak hour period.
From review of available information including
prior analysis at this intersection and discussion
with Town staff, it was determined that this
restriction is based on a safety concern.
The following items were identified and reviewed:
1. The existing available sight distance of 350
feet for the SB right to WB movement from
Palisades Blvd is less than the AASHTO
recommended minimum unobstructed sight
distance of 425 feet.
2. Staff indicated that during both AM and PM
peak periods, sight distance is affected by
the sun glare which further reduces available
sight distance and limits driver decision
making abilities.
3. The result of the intersection LOS analysis
indicates that the intersection is functioning at
an acceptable level. Vehicle delay for the SB
to WB right -turn movements were measured at
less than 5 seconds which seems to indicate
that during the peak hours, the timing and
phasing at the intersection adequately clears
the right -turn movement without excess delays.
Approximately 50% of the signal phase at this
location is dedicated to the right -turn movement
to ensure the right -turn lane is adequately
cleared.
The option of removing the "Right on Green Arrow
Only" restriction during the off-peak periods was
eliminated due to the above-mentioned sight
distance deficiencies.
Based on these findings, and discussions
with Town staff, it was determined that the
improvements made by the Town by the addition
of advance vehicle detectors on Palisades Blvd
and using an overlap phasing for the SB right turn
during the EB left -turn movement has resulted in
significant reduction in the stop delay experienced
by motorists making right -turn movements from
Palisades Blvd to WB Shea Blvd.
It was identified that the delays experienced during
the off-peak period can be attributed to use of the
peak hour signal timing plan during the off-peak
period. The current timing plan has 15 seconds
of minimum green, 5 seconds of yellow and 2
seconds of red for a total split of 22 seconds for
the minimum split and 40 seconds for the max
split for Phase 215 (Shea Blvd). This means
that a call on Phase 2 (WB Shea Blvd) will hold
Palisades Blvd SB right movement a minimum of
22 seconds.
To mitigate and reduce this time, it is
recommended that a new signal timing plan
be developed for the off-peak period. This new
timing should provide a shorter "minimum" green
time on Shea Blvd and allow the traffic signal to
provide a green phase once a call is detected
on Palisades Blvd from a right -turning vehicle.
FHWA recommends a minimum green of 10 to 15
seconds for major arterials.
A minimum green time of 10 seconds is
recommended during the off-peak period for WB
Shea Blvd to gain further reduction of 5 seconds of
stop delay for the SB right -turn movement.

E. No U -Turn Restriction Evaluation —Two
No "U -Turn" restrictions are currently installed
at the Shea Blvd/Palisades Blvd intersection.
U-turn restrictions are in place for the SB to NB
movement from Palisades Blvd and for EB to WB
movement along Shea Blvd.
Palisades Blvd U -Turn Restriction: The U-turn
restriction on Palisades Blvd ensures no conflict
occurs between vehicles making a U-turn and
vehicles WB from Shea Blvd making a right
towards NB Palisades Blvd. Since U-turn traffic
is required to yield to right -turning vehicles, an
increase in conflict is not anticipated by removal of
this restriction. However, to verify if an adequate
receiving lane width is available for U -turning
vehicles at this location, an Auto -Turn template
evaluation consistent with AASHTO requirements
was performed for a Passenger vehicle. Figure
5 shows the vehicle wheel path for a Passenger
vehicle making a U-turn at this location. The Auto -
Turn analysis indicates that the wheel path of a
passenger vehicle making a U-turn can potentially
run into the outside curb of the receiving lane.
Based on the outcome of this analysis, it is
concluded that the existing U-turn restriction
should remain in place.
However, further evaluation indicates that the
U-turn restriction for this movement can be
removed with striping modifications to provide for
a larger turning radius. This can be achieved by
combining the SB left and through lanes into a
single lane and providing a 2 feet striped buffer
from the inside curb island. This option can be
implemented if the Town continues to operate the
NB and SB movements using a split phase signal
timing plan. It would not be recommended if the
Town desires to have a separate phase for the
left -turn movements in the future.
Shea Blvd U -Turn Restriction: Similar to the
U-turn restriction on Palisades Blvd, the U-turn
restriction on Shea Blvd eliminates potential
conflict with the SB Palisades Blvd dual right
turn to WB Shea Blvd movement and allows an
overlap of this dual right -turn movement with
the NB left -turn movement. Allowing U-turn
movements at this location will result in the inside
CCK GROUP

SHEA BLVD at PALISADES BLVD a SHEA BLVD at
'FOUNTAIN HILLS BLVD INTERSECTIONS 1.7
left -turn lane conflicting with the outside right -
turn lane movement, as well as adversely affect
the operation and safety of the intersection. The
presence of the U-turn restriction is deemed
necessary to allow the efficient operation of the
dual right -turn movement from Palisades Blvd
which is required to efficiently clear the high
volume of right -turning vehicles at this location,
and reduce stop delays as discussed above.
It should be noted that industry practice is to
avoid conflicts at locations with dual right or
left -turn movements at intersections operating in
overlap mode.
Based on the results of the evaluation, it is
recommended that the U-turn restriction on Shea
Blvd remain in place.
4.2 Shea Burd at Fountain Hills Blvd
A. Signal Phasing Analyses & Validation —
From the results of the existing condition analysis,
it is determined that the current signal phasing and
timing plan results in an acceptable LOS at the
intersection for both AM and PM peak periods.
B. Signal Head Layout, Type and Placement —The
existing traffic signal head type and configuration
was reviewed against MUTCD section 4D
requirements specifically for the SB approach.
Figure 4 (page 10) shows the signal head layout
for this approach. Three (3) left -turn signal heads
are provided for the left -turn movement, and two
(2) heads each for the through and right -turn
movements. A five (5) section head is used to
combine the signal heads for the through and
right -turn movement. The Town has received
complaints about motorist confusion due to the
use of the five (5) section head at this location.
Use of the Type R heads with arrow for the SB
right -turn movement was reviewed based on
MUTCD Section 4D requirements. MUTCD does
not require use of Type R heads for permissive
right -turn movements. During the project kickoff
meeting, staff mentioned the Type R heads were
used to ensure motorists understand a continuous
right -turn flow with no need to stop while a green
indication is given. There is a SB right -turn
overlap with the EB left turn from Shea Blvd and
a WB right -turn overlap with the SB left turn from
Palisades Blvd.
An analysis was conducted to determine if there
is a significant reduction in delay using an overlap
phase compared to a permissive phase for the
SB right -turn movement for the AM peak period
with higher right -turn volumes. Using existing
signal timing parameters, a delay of 4.3 seconds
occurs using a permissive phase for the right -
turn movement compared to 2.3 seconds with
an overlap phase resulting in a difference of 2
seconds during a 150 -second cycle length which
does not appear significant. Based on these
results, it is determined the Town can replace
the Type R heads with arrows for the right -turn
movement with regular ball heads, and replace the
five -section signal assembly with a three -section
head. This proposed configuration is shown in
Figure 6 (next page).
In the event, the Town prefers to maintain the Type
R head with arrows for the right -turn movement,
the following configuration can be implemented,
- The existing median mounted A Pole and side
mounted signal heads can be used for the left
turn. MUTCD requires two (2) signal heads per
movement.
• The existing Type R heads for the left turn
mounted on the mast arm can be converted to
regular Type F heads for the through movement:
• The five -section head on the mast arm replaced
with a three -section Type R head with arrows
for the right -turn movement. This will meet
MUTCD signal head placement and number
requirements, allowing the Town to retain the
Type R head for the right -turn movement while
eliminating confusion associated with the five -
section head. This proposed configuration is
shown in Figure 7 (next page).

C. No U -Turn Restriction Evaluation — Two No
"U -Turn" restrictions are currently installed at the
Shea Blvd/Fountain Hills Blvd intersection.
Fountain Dills Blvd U -Turn Restriction: The
U-turn restriction on Fountain Hills Blvd ensures no
conflict occurs between vehicles making a U-turn
and vehicles WB from Shea Blvd making a right
to NB Fountain Hill Blvd. It was also determined
to be necessary as there is not adequate width on
the receiving lane for a U-turn to occur. An Auto -
Turn template evaluation consistent with AASHTO
requirements was performed for a Passenger
vehicle. Figure 8 shows the vehicle wheel path
for a Passenger vehicle making a U-turn at this
location.
Based on the Auto -Turn analysis, it is observed
that the wheel path of a passenger vehicle making
a U-turn will run into the outside curb of the
receiving lane.
Therefore, removing the U-turn restriction on
Fountain Hills Blvd is not recommended at this time.
Shea Blvd U -Turn Restriction: Similar to the
U-turn restriction on Fountain Hills Blvd, the
U-turn restriction on Shea Blvd eliminates conflict
between U turning vehicles on Shea Blvd and the
SB right -turn movement. However, a review of the
intersection does not indicate a "No U -Turn" sign is
needed on Shea Blvd based on the following.
a. No sight distance issues were observed.
b. There are three (3) receiving lanes on
Shea Blvd.
KKK GROUP 15
FAM I SHEA BLVD at PALISADES BLVD a SHEA BLVD at
'I ' FOUNTAIN HILLS BLVD INTERSECTIONS -'
c. A single SB right -turn lane to Shea Blvd
from Fountain Hills Blvd.
d, While the SB right -turn movement from
Fountain Hills Blvd has an overlap phase,
a U-turn on Shea Blvd can be allowed as
U -turning motorists are required to yield to
the right turn movements. The Town may
additional install an R1 0-16 sign to further
inform U-turn motorists to yield to the SB
right -turn movement.
Due to the observations above, it is determined
that the existing No -U-turn sign on Shea Blvd can
be removed.
D. Overlapping Schemes —The signal phasing
for the intersection has an overlap scheme
for the SB left turn to EB Shea Blvd and WB
Shea Blvd to north Fountain Hills Blvd right -
turn movement. A review of the existing traffic
volumes and signal phasing does not indicate
the need for an overlap phase. During the field
observation at this location, it was noticed
the overlap phase is currently turned off. No
impact to the operation of the intersection was
observed. The intersection capacity analysis
indicates a minor improvement to stop delay due
to the presence of the overlap phase, and this
is consistent with the WB to right -urn movement
at Palisades Blvd and Saguaro Blvd. Use of the
overlap phase with a Type G signal head with a
green arrow ball is optional according to MUTCD
requirements at a dedicated right -turn lane.
E. Left -turn Phasing—The left -turn phasing at
the project intersection was reviewed for potential
improvements as a result of the lower traffic
volumes experienced at the intersection. The
existing phasing for the intersection has protected
left -turn phase for all the left -turn movements.
Left -turn signal phasing analysis was performed
using guidelines in the ADOT Traffic Engineering
Guidelines and Processes. A cross -product
analysis was performed for the left -turn
movements during the AM and PM peak periods.
The ADOT criteria indicates left -turn phasing may
be considered when the cross -product of the left -
turn volume and opposing through volume exceed
150,000 vehicles for a 4 -lane street in an urban
scenario; the left -turn volumes are greater than 2
vehicles per cycle during the peak; and there are
more than 6 and 10 left -turn crashes in a 1 -year
and 2 -year periods respectively for two opposing
approaches.
The ADOT criteria indicates protected -only left -
turn phasing can be considered for locations with
three or more through lane on the opposing leg,
dual left turns, posted speed limit greater than
45 mph and where use of protected/permissive
phasing has resulted in left -turn crash history as
indicated above.
The analysis for the left -turn movements did
not meet criteria for the cross -product or crash
threshold, however the left -turn volumes per cycle
did exceed the ADOT threshold. There was a total
of 29 crashes reported at the intersection over a
five-year period. Thirteen crashes for left -turning
movements was reported for this period.
The EB left -turn movement met the requirements
for a protected only left -turn phasing.
An analysis was performed to determine if the
use of permissive or protected/permissive left -turn
phasing for the NB and SB left -turn movements
would result in improved operation at the
intersection.
The results of the analysis are shown in Table
4 below. The WB left -turn movement was also
determined to operate at a LOS C or better as a
permissive phased approach however a permissive
phase is not currently recommended for this
movement because of several factors including:
Wide intersection layout
2. High speed for EB through traffic due to the EB
lane slopes (approximately 3-6%)
3. Potential sun glare during PM rush periods.

The results of analysis indicate the approach LOS for
the NB and SB left turns improve when operated as
a protected permissive phase.
A further analysis was performed to determine
if the EB and WB left -turn movements can be
operated with a Flashing Yellow Arrow (FYA). The
results of the analysis as shown in Table 5 indicate
a significant improvement when the EB and WB
left turns are operated with a FYA. Worksheets for
the analysis are included in Appendix D.
The use of FYA at signalized intersections to
control left turning traffic was recently approved
by the federal government after studies concluded
that flashing arrows provide numerous benefits
including:
• Enhanced understanding by motorists when
using arrows instead of solid green indications;
• Enhanced safety; and
• improved operation by minimizing delays.
CK analyzed the EB left -turn movement to
determine appropriateness of using FYA for a
dual left -turn movement. The City of Scottsdale,
Arizona has a presentation showing results of the
implementation of FYA at several intersections
within Scottsdale. According to the information
reported by the City of Scottsdale, a reduction in
collision rate is observed with the implementation
of FYA. The report is included in Appendix E.
CK contacted City of Scottsdale to discuss any
other observations at the locations with dual left
turns operating with FYA, as well as contacted
other agencies including the City of Peoria,
AZ and City of Arlington, Texas to discuss their
preference with regard to implementation of FYA
at dual left -turn locations. In general„ feedback
received indicated each of the agencies were
comfortable implementing a FYA if a location can
operate better with a FYA, preferably at locations
with moderate through volume over opposing left -
turn volume,
The Cities of Scottsdale, Peoria, and Glendale
were contacted to inquire if Council approval
was required before implementation of
FYAs. The feedback received was that their
respective Councils were informed, however the
improvements for FYA were mostly completed
as part of safety improvements as determined
by the respective engineering departments. City
of Peoria indicated that they have completed
several such improvements using HSIP funds. The
City of Glendale is also currently upgrading 22
intersections with FYAs as safety improvements.
Based on the above information and results of the
analysis, a FYA will potentially improve the LOS
for the EB dual left -turn movement. While a FYA
will also benefit the WB left -turn movement, due to
sight distance constraints, as well as high speed
of traffic observed in the field for the EB through
movement, a FYA is not currently recommended
for the WB left -turn movement.
To gradually introduce the FYA phasing to the
motorists in the Town, we recommend that the
FYA be limited to the off peak period when and if
the Town opts to install FYA. A FYA is not currently
installed at any Town signalized intersections, this
location may be used as a pilot program if use of
the FYA is approved by the Town.

5.0 RECOMMENBUIONS
The following recommendations are derived from
results of the engineering analysis and evaluation
performed for the study. The recommendations
are broken up by the intersections analyzed.
5.1 Shea Blvdat Palisades Blvd
1. It is recommended that the current "Right Turn
on Green Arrow Only" restriction for the SB
right -turn movement remain. The Town has
made modifications to minimize the stop delay
to right -turn movements by installing advance
loops on Palisades Blvd to detect approaching
vehicles on Palisades Blvd during off peak
hours with a call to the controller to allow right -
turn movement once a gap is observed on
Shea Blvd.
2. To further minimize stop -delay for SB right -turn
movement, it is recommended that an off-peak
timing plan be used during the off-peak period
with a minimum initial green of 10 seconds.
This will result in theoretically a maximum
stop delay of 17 seconds for the SB right -turn
movements at the intersection.
3. It is recommended that the existing U-turn
restrictions on Palisades Blvd and Shea
Blvd remain in place. The U-turn restriction
on Palisades Blvd can be removed with
modifications to the SB approach for the left
and through movements by combining them
into a single lane with a 2 -feet buffer from the
median island. This will require modifications to
the existing signal layout for the SB approach.
4. The operation of the intersection using the
existing timing and phasing was determined to
operate at acceptable LOS. No changes are
proposed to the existing signal timing plans.
5. It is recommended that a separate timing plan
be used for the off-peak period condition.
6. The existing striping for the SB approach appears
degraded and needs to be restored.
Other: Consideration and Recommendation
Fairly high speeds were observed on Palisades
Blvd. R speed advisory flasher is recommended
on Palisades Blvd approximately 1,000 feet in
advance of Shea Blvd.
CCKGROUP
5.2 Intersection of Shea Blvd at
Fountain Hills Blvd
1. Based on geometric considerations, the
U-turn restriction on Fountain Hills Blvd is
recommended to remain as is.
2. It does not appear the "No U-turn" sign on
Shea Blvd is needed
a. No sight distance issues observed.
b. There are 3 receiving lanes.
c. There is only a single right -turn lane to
Shea Blvd from Fountain Hills Blvd with no
overlap phase.
3. The signal layout for the SB traffic was
reviewed with two options proposed. It is
determined that the Town can remove the
five -section head and Type R heads for the
right -turn movement as there was no significant
stop delay improvement observed by using
the Type R heads for the right -turn movement.
Alternatively, the Town can use the median
mounted A Pole and side mounted Type
R heads for the left -turn movement, while
converting the Type R bead on the mast arm
to a Type F head for the through movement.
The five -section head on the mast arm can be
converted to a Type R head with arrows for
the right -turn movement. This option will meet
MUTCQ requirements while allowing the Town
to use a protected phase for the SB right -turn
movement.
4. Use of a protected permissive left -turn
phasing for the NB and SB movements
will result in an improved LOS, and can
be implemented if the Town desires. The
existing protected phasing for the FB and
WB left -turn movements is recommended to
remain in place, however results of using a
FYA for the EB left -turn movement indicate
a noticeable improvement to the LCIS. It is
recommended that if the Town chooses to

TEM IN BRIEF
Acticin: I riforrr ation Crily
Suppose: 110 provide an overview of 11-e hisioryl and safety benefits assocliated wii1-
the Liilizaiion ollflasl-ing yellow left IL rn signals in rIcotilsdale.
Key Coinsidenations:
A stanc and signalized intersection 1 -as "pe11rr1iilec" left tu11n movements — lefil turns a11e
rrade w1- en there are gaps in the opposing traffic on on the yellow clearance interval. If
the intersection experiences significant delay for 11-e left tu11n rrovements, o11
experiences an increase in the nL n- ben oil left turn collisions, i1- e City evaluates the
signal operation io consider adding left tu11n eirrows. These coin be installed as
"permitted/protected" o11 "protected only." Fou "permittedilprotected" crleration, left turns
eire rr ade c using gaps in traffic; and if t1- ere are vehicles still wailing to turn left, green
left turn arrows aiie activated to allow "protected" left turn mo%emerills. Some agencies
1- ave uiilizec a flashing yellow left tu11n eirrow to indicialle io the driven that they rr ust yielc
io oncoming traffic L ntil the arrow turns glleen.
111- e flashing yellow eirrow 1- as been undell exrlerirr ent sincie 2003 and was identified by
11- a National ClooperaiN e H ig1- way Research Program (NCHRFI,' as the moss easily
understood lefil turn treatment 1611 perry itted/pnoiecied left 1L rn operation. Othe11 national
sig dies have shown an inciiease in seifety ai intersections with the irr plerr entation of
flashing yellow left turn arrows. 111- e CHy oft.EIcobsc ale-liiaffici Engineering division
received appro%al frorr the Federal Highway Administration I FF"PI; in May 200810
experimerii %0 flashing yellow arrows.
11wo Iodations were chosen for t1- a flas1- ing yellow left 1t rn inslallaiion - one at
Norlhsight Boulevard and Rairitllee Diiive inteusection, and anot1- e11 at 68th Eltreel and
McDowell Roac intersection. Afler three year's operation of the flashing yellow amiows,
both irillersections experienced a decline in left tu11n collisions, improved 1ueifilic flow, and
a dec111ease in resident complaints. Since R en the traffic collision nL rr bers fbr both of
IT ese locations have continued to decrease.
111- e City oft .EIcotlsdale riow has twelve intersections will- flashing yellow arrows 1611 at
least one direction of travel. In early 2012, 11- e City rr odified the inteusection oil Fuank
Lloyd V1 rig1-1 BOL le�ard and 100'h EIlreet 10 dilize flashing yellow arrows fbr all
approaches. Elincie then, two othell locations also 1- ave flashing yellow arrows inslallec
fbr all direcltions of tray el.
It is now the City's intent to install flashing yellow arrows for any new installations of
permitted/protected lagging left turn arrows. The presentation will provide information
regarding the history and improved safety benefits for the flashing yellow left turn arrow
operation in Scottsdale.

Property Location: NIA
Related Ordinance, Policy or Guiding Principle: 2017 Strategic Plan and 2013 Pavement Management
Program
Staff Summary (background): In 2013 the Town Council passed Resolution 2013-02 approving the creation of
the Pavement Management Program. With the current Pavement Management Program, the focus has been
on addressing the pavement needs by geographic zones based on street age and condition. Under normal
circumstances, the zone approach would be a logical approach to address the town's pavement management
needs. However, without sufficient funds to invest in street maintenance activities, the zone approach has
taken longer to complete critical pavement management efforts overall. For instance, the Zone 1 Pavement
Management Area is currently scheduled for pavement maintenance and will have taken several years to
compete. Due to the age and conditions of the roads in Zones 1,2,3, and 4, staff has determined that certain
collector and residential streets will require the top layer of asphalt to be replaced.
At the Town Council retreat last February, the Town Council questioned the wisdom of continuing with the
zone approach versus prioritizing the pavement maintenance activities based on the poorest street conditions.
This again was brought up by members of the Town Council at a recent Town Council meeting. Staff supports
moving away from the zone approach and believes that having an outside firm conduct a pavement
management analysis will help the town move in this direction.
In addition to better identifying the actual condition of all of the town's streets and the cost for recommended
improvements, a pavement management assessment will help the town develop a strategy for maintaining its
streets and prioritizing the use of resources. Staff is requesting to contract with a firm that will provide the
mapping of the Town's roadway network, pavement data collection, asset management software, analysis and
reporting. The data collection and reporting will help aid staff in determining the overall pavement condition of
the Town's current roadway network and provide pavement management analysis based on current and future
funding scenarios. The estimated cost of conducting a pavement management assessment is $ 59,995.00.

Scope of Services for Pavement 'Management Analysis
SUGGESTED MOTION (roe Couricil use): Move to direct staff in pursuing a contract with a firm to assess the
overall pavement condition of the Town's current roadway network and provide pavement management
analysis based on current and future funding scenarios; and ultimately move away from the zone approach in
pavement management after implementing the recommendations from the completed pavement analysis; and
move forward in approving the cooperative purchasing agreement allowing the Public Works department to
address pavement management needs in FY 17-18.

Fundamentals of Pavement Preservation
A key factor in extending the life of asphalt pavement is to preserve the
binder and stop oxidation! Most oxidation occurs within the first 2-4 years.
Oxidation results in:
• Raveling: Loss of bond between aggregate and binder
• Cracking
Del Cambre Ave. & Calaveras Ave.
Fundamentals of Pavement Preservation
A key factor in extending the life of asphalt pavement is to preserve the
binder and stop oxidation! Most oxidation occurs within the first 2-4 years.
Primary Causes of Oxidation are UV Rays and Moisture.

Fundamentals of Pavement Preservation
"An effective pavement preservation program will address pavements while they are
still in good condition and before the onset of serious damage. By applying a cost-
effective treatment at the right time, the pavement is restored almost to its original
condition."
"Preventive maintenance is typically applied to pavements in good condition having
significant remaining service life. As a major component of pavement preservation,
preventive maintenance is a strategy of extending the service life by applying cost-
effective treatments to the surface... of structurally sound pavements. "
"Examples of preventive treatments include asphalt crack sealing, chip sealing, slurry
sealing or micro surfacing... "
Source: Action: Pavement Preservation Definitions, Federal Highway Administration
Fundamentals of Pavement Preservation
Strategies to LOW COST Pavement Preservation
"Many maintenance practices have not been effective, because they were applied
reactively to roads in poor condition instead of proactively to roads still in good
condition, Succinctly stated, the correct approach to preventative maintenance is
to "place the right treatment on the right road at the right time."
-Larry Galehouse, Director for Pavement Preservation at Michigan State University

• Stantec Engineering Pavement Management Report from Zoog showed that Bainbridge Ave. was in
"very good" condition.
• Without any pavement maintenance the roadway deteriorated to the point where a more costly mill
and overlay was required in 2o16.
Pavement Management Program - Next Steps
1. Contract with a Firm to Conduct Pavement Analysis to include:
• Roadway Data Collection (RST)
• Pavement Analysis & Report (Street Grading)
• Street Network Mapping
• Asset Management Software (Lucity)
• Pavement Condition Analysis Based on Funding, Funding Increase,
Bond Package, etc.
i. Review and Approve New Pavement Management Strategy and Priorities
Based on Completed Pavement Analysis (including Change in Approach)
3. Secure a Cooperative Purchase Agreement for Pavement Maintenance
for balance of FY 1718
(Crack and Surface Seal, Crack Seal and Slurry seal, Mill and Overlay)

From: Jim Tourek, Client Services Manager Project: Fountain Hills, AZ
Subject: Pavement Management Services Project No:
Thank you for taking the time to review the pavement data collection services offered by IMS
Infrastructure Management Services. IMS excels in pavement and asset management solutions and
can provide a full suite of data collection services.
As we understand, the Town of Fountain Hills currently maintains approximately 179 centerline miles of
roadway. IMS would collect data on approximately 214 test miles as we two pass test arterials roadways.
The Town does not currently utilize PMS software
and is contemplating implementing a PMS; as such
IMS has developed a recommended approach for
moving forward by implementing the Lucity PMS
software (hosted by IMS) to meet all of the Town's
pavement management needs. IMS collects all
data in accordance with the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers data protocols, commonly referred to as
ASTM D6433. The base scope also incorporates a
comprehensive pavement analysis and report
including budget scenarios and prioritization plans.
Our approach, and key service differentiator, is based on three, time proven fundamentals:
Answer the questions that are being asked — don't over -engineer the system or make it needlessly
complicated. Databases and the application of technology are meant to simplify asset management, not
make it more difficult.
Service and quality are paramount to success — the right blend of technically correct data, condition
rating, and reporting will provide the agency with a long-term, stable solution. Service to the client
remains our top priority.
Local control and communications are key — it is important that all stakeholders understand the
impacts of their decisions and have the system outputs react accordingly. We excel in making ourselves
readily available.
Services we can offer Fountain Hills include:
• Objective roadway performance data collection including a full suite of surface distresses.
• Right of Way asset data collection and digital image and GPS coordinate data collection.
• Provision of robust software solutions and an advanced knowledge of majority of 3'd party software
vendors.

Data Collection
IMS is unique to the industry, as an objective and
repeatable data collection effort will be completed.
The Laser RST will be used to perform a surface
condition assessment of all Town streets. instead
of using the subjective feet on ground or windshield
sampling method, all data will be collected
continuously and recorded in 100 -foot intervals in
the form of a detailed database complete with GPS
coordinates. The data will also be aggregated to
the section level, following the sectioning and
referencing methodology determined after IMS and
Town review.
GIS and Pavement Management Linkage
The role of GIS in pavement management cannot
be overstated. It is a powerful tool that provides the
capability to handle and present vast amounts of
data in an efficient manner, IMS can provide a link
between the Town's GIS program and the
pavement management data to enable the Town to
display and generate color -coded maps based
upon existing pavement conditions, street
rehabilitation plans or most of the data developed
as a part of the pavement management program.
An output of such a plot is illustrated in the adjacent
image.
Digital Images and Right of Way Asset Data Collection
While the RST is traversing the roadway, up to 7
digital cameras can be mounted inside the RST to
collect images of the pavement and right of way
assets. The following views are typically captured;
driver front (forward view), passenger front (ROW
view), and driver rear (adjacent ROW view),
Additional views can be mounted if deemed
necessary by the Town of Fountain Hills. All video
is processed in-house; developed as an image
library at 25 -foot intervals for use in QA/QC and for
optional development as a video log or for right of
way asset inventories.

GIS Integration & Visual Presentation
The role of GIS in asset management cannot be
overstated. It is a powerful tool that provides
the ability to handle and present vast amounts
of data in an efficient manner. Not only does
GIS allow a Town to visually plot textural data, it
also establishes an easy access portal to the
data through an efficient integration with many
3`d party asset management applications.
IMS kicks off every project by completing a brief
review of the Town's GIS environment to assess
suitability for network referencing, survey map
preparation, and pavement and right of way
asset management purposes. IMS also
compares the existing roadway inventory within
any current asset management system to the
Town's GIS environment. If they do not match,
we will work with the Town to determine the
correct referencing information.
The data collected by IMS is linked to the
existing GIS environment and is supplied as a
personal geodatabase, spatial database engine, Auto CAD files, or a series of shape files. IMS collects
XY coordinates for all data elements using GPS technology coupled with inertial navigation and integrates
with most 3`d party GIS applications, including ESRI.
For this assignment, GIS will be used in four key areas of work:
1. GIS will be used to verify the streets to be surveyed and to create the routing maps for use during
the field surveys.
Z The survey productivity will be tracked through the plotting of the GPS data collected during the
field surveys. This will allow IMS to review all streets that have been covered, identify anomalies
in the referencing, and spot missed streets.
3. GIS will be used in processing the distress and inventory data. By plotting the data, we can QA
the data and identify data exceptions in addition to proofing out the GIS.
4. Personal geodatabases, spatial database engines, shape and/or KML files, can be created for the
visual presentation of condition data and analysis results.

Pavement Analysis and Report
Immediately following the completion of the field survey's IMS will begin processing the pavement distress
severity and extent scores in an effort to develop a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) for each roadway
segment. The condition results are then analyzed by a team of IMS engineers who will develop the Town
of Fountain Hills' multi-year pavement management plans. This section provides a brief summary of the
functionality of the IMS pavement analysis in order to emphasize our implementation expertise as well as
the abilities and constraints within a pavement analysis.
The purpose of pavement management is to produce cost effective maintenance programs that maximize
available resources and roadway life. By incorporating key components of a cost benefit analysis into the
analysis operating parameters, we can develop a game plan that is optimized to meet the needs of the
Town of Fountain Hills.
Field Inspection Data and Pavement Condition Index (PCI)
The IMS analysis allows you to store information regarding your pavements, including surface types,
number of lanes, patching estimates, cross slopes, and sidewalk & curb types with replacement
estimates. Pavement condition data including surface distress, roughness, and deflection results can be
stored and analyzed. Using an in-house Pavement. Manager Setup module, we can develop customized
condition elements, distress types (load & non -load), Indices (SDI, RI, & SI), weightings, and overall PCI
calculations.
In addition to the yearly programs, the net impact each budget scenario has on the expected condition of
the road network over time can be determined. This budget impact can be illustrated both in terms of the
yearly increase or decrease in the average network PCI score, PCI distribution, or % Backlog of roads
that were not selected by the budgets. IMS converts the difficult to understand FHWA and ASTM D6433
data to a 0-10 distress rating scale with distress weighted factors (DWF), where DWF = (Area under
D6433 deduct curves/3000).
Modeling and Performance Curves
With an IMS analysis, you can forecast
various budget scenarios to help you
determine your ideal maintenance and
rehabilitation schedule. The IMS
approach will help you decide what
rehab activities should be performed,
when and where to perform them, and
an ideal budget for your system to
maintain it at a specific level of service.
IMS engineers use pavement
deterioration models that can be
customized to reflect the climatic
conditions and structural characteristics
of the Town of Fountain Hills' road
network. As a result, performance curves can be developed on factors such as functional class,
pavement type and sub -grade strength.

Lucity Analysis Configuration & 5-Year Pian
Immediately fallowing the completion of the field survey's IMS will begin processing the pavement distress
severity and extent scores in an effort to develop a Pavement Condition Index (PC[) for each roadway
segment, The condition results are analyzed by a team of IMS engineers, who then develop a 5-year
pavement management plan for the Town. This section provides a brief summary of the functionality of
the Lucity pavement analysis in order to emphasize our implementation expertise as well as the abilities
and constraints within a pavement analysis.
The purpose of pavement management is to produce cost effective maintenance programs that maximize
available resources and roadway life. By incorporating key components of a cost benefit analysis into the
program operating parameters, we can develop a game plan that is optimized to meet the needs of the
Fountain Hilts staff. In addition, the Lucity analysis operating parameters described within this section
will be delivered in an easy to understand Excel Spreadsheet including the segment PCI data, pavement
deterioration curves, triggers (priority weight factors), and the prioritized 5-year plan. Everything is linked
to GIS in the form of simple shape files or even a personal geodatabase.
Lucity & Pavement Management Software Experience
IMS has completed over 65 Lucity software implementation and data
collection assignments throughout the United States and is the only ► r lucity
dedicated asset management firm who participates in the software
updates as they relate to the pavement and asset tools. IMS
routinely utilizes the Lucity "pavement analysis tool" in-house to develop reports for our clients that do not
maintain a pavement management software application. Our team of qualified engineers possesses the
expertise and skill set to update, modify, and configure the City's existing Lucity application.
In addition, we work closely with Lucity's Chief Executive Officer, Drab Pinkston, and his software
development team to ensure their clients hamess the full potential and capability of the pavement
management application.
IMS excels in making ourselves available to the Client. The IMS method to client management is to
create a seamless approach from project inception through completion. We pride ourselves in creating a
client -consultant relationship that is second to none.

Set Points and Operating Parameters
One of the most important aspects of the IMS approach is determining the 'set points' or thresholds of the
performance curves and other factors. In general, these set points determine what type of treatment will
be selected given the current or predicted condition of a road segment over time.
For example, the scatter plot displayed below illustrates a potential rehab selection process that may be
incorporated for Fountain Hills. Each dot represents the outcome of a pavement condition assessment
on each segment in the road network. The X-axis is the pavement condition score while the Y-axis is a
Structural Index (will be developed with deflection data). The boundaries created by the intersection of
the vertical green lines and horizontal dashed black lines represent the potential rehabilitation strategy for
those given conditions. Each maintenance and rehabilitation strategy is programmed to take place in the
most optimal year for each roadway segment.
The color bands are also an effective way of illustrating the activity priorities through an analysis that
takes into account critical PCI drops, also known as "cost of deferment." The IMS analysis specifically
targets "critical segments", which is defined as segments that will drop into a more expensive treatment
category if they are not selected now. By presenting the rehab strategies in a visual format such as this,
the user, Town staff, management, and Town Councils can easily understand, follow and potentially
modify the results with confidence.

Rehabilitation Analysis
An unlimited number of
pavement maintenance and
rehabilitation strategies can be
defined within our system. An
analysis is then run,
incorporating the performance
curves, set points, filter criteria
and rehab alternatives to
identify the overall need in
terms of rehab strategies and
costs for the Town's road
network, for today as well as
year on year for the next 5 to
10 years_
The IMS approach allows you
to input any number of "what
if' budget scenarios and
produce prioritized yearly
rehab programs based on those funding levels over a 10 -year analysis period. Typical budget scenarios
include Budget Wear, Unlimited Budget $, "Do Nothing" Budget, and a Target PCI Budget.
What is included in an IVIS analysis & report?
• Street ownership and inventorylattribute report
• Present condition ranking — detailed and summary condition data including; Good/Fair/Poor, Load
Associated Distresses (LAD), Non -LAD, and SuperSegment reviews of each street in the
network, as well as the network as a whole_
• Fix all budget analysis — this identifies the upper limit of spending by rehabilitating all streets
assuming unlimited funding.
• Do nothing analysis — this identifies the effects of not performing roadway rehabilitation projects.
• Steady state rehabilitation life cycle analysis — this identifies the minimum amount of rehabilitation
that must be completed in order to maintain the existing level of service over 3, 5, or 10 years.
•
PCI & funding levels — what funding will be necessary to maintain a PGI of 80, 85, & 95.
• Plus or minus 50% and other additional runs — additional budget runs are completed at rates of
+50% and -50% of the suggested steady state analysis_ Up to 10 budget scenarios will be run.
• Integration of capital projects and Master Plans — ongoing and proposed projects that affect
roadway rehabilitation planning will be incorporated into the analysis.
• Draft 5 -year rehabilitation and prioritized paving plans — based on need, available budget and
level of service constraints; a minimum of three budget runs will be compieted.
Final prioritized paving plan — incorporating feedback from stakeholder departments and utilities,
complete with budget and level of service constraints.

Maintenance planning is used to determine the effects of multiple budgets and work plans for future
conditions. When developing the analysis, IMS will run the scenarios for planning, scheduling, budgeting,
and analyzing alternative pavement activities. The analysis utilizes the inventory data combined with
inspection information, maintenance policies, maintenance costs, and predictions about future pavement
condition. The resulting work plans will be specific to the Town of Fountain Hills, All factors used in
determining the maintenance activities, and associated costs, can be configured to reflect the Town's
pavement management practices. Work plan options include: determining budget consequences,
eliminate backlog over time, maintaining current PCI, and reaching the Town's desired PCI in a set period
of time.
In the adjacent example, a series of
budget scenarios have been
developed for an existing client and is
illustrated in a line graph format. The
current level of funding, $800K will
result in a decreasing network PCI and
an increasing backlog of work. The
blue funding level represents a steady
state scenario where PGI and backlog
is maintained at its current level. The
client used this information to present
the networks funding needs to council.
IMS will be sure to maintain constant
contact with the Town staff to make
sure that all input from the Town is

notes, and that all requirements will be
satisfied. The report will be the guiding tool for the imminent and long-term future of the Town's
pavements, so it is necessary to maintain this level of communication. IMS will submit a draft copy of the
report for Town review.
Key parameters of the analysis include:
Rehabilitation strategies — Working together with the Town, IMS will determine which rehabilitation
strategies will result in the largest cost benefit. If the Town is confident their current rehabilitation
strategies are sufficient, those will be utilized in the program.
Performance curves — Not all roads are created equal and the life of a roadway in Fountain Hills will
vary from roadways in other geographic regions. Taking this into account, IMS can develop custom
performance curves for the Town of Fountain Hills.
Set points — One of the most important aspects of the software is determining the 'set points' or
thresholds of the performance curves, These set points are what determine which type of treatment will
be selected at a particular point in time. In essence, it becomes the trigger for activity.
Unit rates — While often overlooked, the unit rates associated with each rehabilitation or maintenance
strategy is vital information when determining rehabilitation costs, funding sources, or even cost benefit
scenarios. Knowing whether these unit rates are inclusive of overheads will make a vast difference in the
analysis results.
