The greatest challenge facing Uptown is the lack of effective commuter transit service. Uptown s 80,000 employees simply have no commuter transit options, and the lack of service is a detriment to the growth of this highly successful area. Houston has an excellent commuter bus service on its comprehensive HOV network. This network effectively penetrates the heart of the suburban communities in which most of Uptown s employees live. The plan Uptown Houston has a plan, the Uptown Dedicated Bus Lanes Project, which is designed to get these employees to and from work using Houston s highly successful busway system. Uptown Houston proposes to rebuild Post Oak Boulevard into an exquisitely designed Grand Boulevard while preserving existing automobile access, substantially improving transit service and creating a beautifully landscaped pedestrian environment.

4 Post Oak Boulevard Dedicated Bus Lanes Project Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Third Party Review By Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc. Walter P. Moore has completed an independent review of the analysis of the proposed Post Oak Boulevard Improvements included in the Uptown Houston Transportation Plan prepared by Gunda Corporation and has conducted a study of three improvement scenarios for Post Oak Boulevard. Based on their review and analysis, Walter P. Moore concluded that the proposed Dedicated Bus Lane option provides the best long term solution for reducing traffic congestion in the Uptown Houston area. This conclusion was based upon their findings that a major transportation issue in the area is congestion along IH-610. No matter the number of improvements made within Uptown Houston on Post Oak Boulevard or east / west thoroughfares, vehicles will still be caught in long queues along the IH-610 frontage roads and main lanes trying to reach their ultimate destinations. The only effective solution is to provide an alternative to individuals driving alone by creating a transit system that is attractive (proving reliable, frequent service) to residents, employees, and visitors of Uptown Houston, as proven in Downtown Houston where approximately 32% of commuters use transit. Review of Retail Impact Report Jose Luis Nueno produced a report which opined that the proposed Post Oak Boulevard Dedicated Bus Lanes Project would negatively impact retail activities in the area. In response, Uptown commissioned William Whitney, Ph.D. to conduct an in-depth review of the assumptions, analysis and conclusions of Mr. Nueno s report. Dr. Whitney received his Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Management, University of California Los Angeles in Urban Land Economics (1975). He served as a Principal with Arthur Andersen for nine years, the last three years headquartered in their London office. His duties with Andersen included the establishment of Andersen s real estate consulting practices in Southern California and the Asia Pacific Region, then re-locating to England and serving as a resource to Andersen s European and Middle East Real Estate and Hospitality consulting practices. He is also a contributing author to ULI s recent publication, Retail Development, 4th Edition. Dr. Whitney concluded, A comparison with other existing and proposed DBL / BRT programs suggests that the Uptown DBL / BRT is perhaps the most responsive yet in terms of taking steps in its design and execution that should minimize negative impacts on the local retail community during the development period. John Fransen, Vice President, The Hahn Company, and active with the International Conference of Shopping Centers, the Urban Land Institute and a consultant focused on improving retail in Houston s downtown stated, In his executive summary, Professor Luis Nueno issues sweeping, definitive predictions resulting in a drop in sales of 50% to 60% that will force closure of most retailers. He would like the reader of his report to buy into his extreme argument either no construction and status quo (his position) versus a straw man

5 argument he has created a worst case construction nightmare scenario where most retailers are forced to close. This is just not a believable position. Alexander Garvin, M. Arch., M.U.S, Adjunct Professor, Yale, Vice President, Lower Manhattan Development, Corporate Deputy Commissioner, New York City and author of the book, The American City: What Works, What Doesn't, concludes, The planned investments in Post Oak Boulevard will increase the street s carrying capacity and, with the increase in the number of people on the street, increase property values and generate further private investment far in excess of what will be spent on improvements to the public realm. In addition to these international experts, local retailers who have successfully served the Houston retail market for decades support the Dedicated Bus Lanes Project, including: Ed Wulfe with BLVD Place; The Galleria; Kendall Miller with Tanglewood Corporation s Post Oak Shopping Center; Weingarten s Centre at Post Oak and Richmond Square; and AmREIT s Uptown Park. Harris County Appraisal District Property Values for Properties to be Acquired In order to understand the cost of acquiring properties along Post Oak Boulevard for the proposed Dedicated Bus Lanes Project, the Harris County Appraisal District (HCAD) valuations were compiled as follows: 2014 Average Total Est. HCAD Values Sq. Ft. to Total Values Per Sq. Ft. Be Acquired Values Preliminary Noticed $ 133 per sq. ft. 152,000 sq. ft. $ M Protested $ 127 per sq. ft. 152,000 sq. ft. $ M Transit Demand Forecast Transit ridership forecasts were developed using a set of computer models developed over a 40 year history by H-GAC / TxDOT / METRO, which have been continually updated, calibrated and refined. The population, employment and land use forecasts were based on H-GAC data sets. The forecasting effort combined a multi-agency task force, including H- GAC, TxDOT, TTI, METRO and Uptown. METRO s modeling consultant performed the detailed analysis. The information was accepted by HGAC s Transportation Planning Committee, Federal Transit Administration and Federal Highway Administration. Projected ridership will range from 15,000 20,000 in 2018 and 20,000 to 28,000 in Overall, ridership estimates were conservative with only 8 10% of the employees using transit, but even at this level of ridership, the Dedicated Bus Lanes Project will carry the equivalent of 3 4 additional lanes of automobile traffic. Land Owner Support for Dedicated Bus Lanes Project Land owners representing more than 70% of the retail linear footage along Post Oak Boulevard support the Dedicated Bus Lanes Project. Land owners of all land uses representing approximately 60% of the linear feet along Post Oak Boulevard support the Project.

6 Post Oak Boulevard Dedicated Bus Lanes Project Construction Phasing Effectively managing the construction of the Post Oak Boulevard Dedicated Bus Lanes Project is the primary and perhaps most important near term objective to the ongoing operations of Uptown private sector businesses. TIRZ #16 (Uptown Houston) has a long and successful history of constructing projects in the area in a manner that successfully maintains a vibrant business environment and the timely completion of projects. When work begins on Post Oak Boulevard, active construction segments will maintain a minimum of two lanes of traffic in each direction and all turning movements at intersections during peak periods on weekdays. Non active construction segments will maintain the current three lanes in each direction including all turning movements at intersections. Driveway access will be maintained at all times with the cooperation of the property owners. Uptown Houston plans to construct the project in manageable segments as follows: North: West Loop to San Felipe Middle: San Felipe to Westheimer South: Westheimer to Richmond Project construction will be appropriately phased to ensure acceptable traffic operations, business access and prudent and timely completion of the project.

9 Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Third Party Review By Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc. Walter P Moore has conducted an independent study of three improvement scenarios for the Post Oak Boulevard corridor, considering bus lane options. Based on our review and analysis, the proposed Dedicated Bus Lane option provides the best long term solution for reducing traffic congestion in the Uptown Houston area. CURRENT CONDITIONS Uptown Houston is one of the top three highest density areas within Houston; however, it is the most underserved, by far, when it comes to transit routes. There is already significant traffic congestion in Uptown Houston with many of the major intersections operating at poor levels of service. Uptown Houston, the City of Houston, the Harris County Toll Road Authority, METRO, and the Texas Department of Transportation have made many transportation infrastructure and roadway improvements over the past 30 years to address congestion issues. While these transportation infrastructure improvement projects and programs have been important for mobility in the Uptown Houston area, they will not be able to support the future vehicle demand of the area. A major transportation issue in the area is congestion along IH 610. No matter the number of improvements made within Uptown Houston on Post Oak Boulevard or east/west thoroughfares, vehicles will still be caught in long queues along the IH 610 frontage roads and main lanes trying to reach their ultimate destinations. SOLUTIONS The only effective solution is to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles in the area. This can be achieved by creating a transit system that is attractive (proving reliable, frequent service) to residents, employees, and visitors of Uptown Houston, as proven in Downtown Houston where approximately 32% of commuters use transit. Bus service is currently provided in mixed-flow along Post Oak Boulevard, but is under-utilized because it does not provide a significant time benefit to potential users. A dedicated bus lane (DBL) providing faster travel times to Uptown Houston destinations would give drivers an incentive to change modes of travel. TRAVEL TIME The bus travel time in mixed-flow is much higher than vehicle travel time. This will not encourage drivers to get out of their vehicles and into buses. The Dedicated Bus Lane scenario (see Table 1, Scenario 2) has the shortest travel time for both vehicles and buses compared to the other scenarios. In addition to shorter travel times, commuters will have added time available for work or relaxation during bus rides. This type of bus service will be more reliable and will attract more people, which results in fewer vehicles on the roadway and improved mobility.

The dedicated bus lane on Post Oak Boulevard, in combination with managed lanes on IH 610/IH 10 and US 59, result in a significantly shorter travel time for commuters to the Katy area and commuters to Sugar Land also experience a shorter travel time when riding transit. Table 2: Commuter Time Savings Destination Time Savings % Time Katy 39% 20 minutes Sugar Land 31% 9 minutes EAST-WEST STREETS In addition to significant travel time benefits on Post Oak Boulevard, a dedicated bus lane will also reduce traffic on the east-west thoroughfares thus reducing traffic at the IH 610 interchanges by removing single passenger vehicle trips. The volumes east of Post Oak Boulevard on San Felipe, Westheimer, and Richmond west of IH 610 will all be reduced by approximately 4% due to increased transit ridership resulting in a decrease in single passenger vehicle travel. The traffic volumes east of Post Oak Boulevard on W. Alabama are expected to be reduced by approximately 10%. This reduction in traffic will provide additional relief at the IH 610 interchanges. ACCESS TO BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS In the proposed configuration of Post Oak Boulevard, right-turn in and out movements to and from adjacent properties will operate the same as they do today. Left-turns into sites will have a protected left-turn signal, and likewise, left-turns out will also have a protected movement relative

11 Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Third Party Review By Walter P. Moore and Associates, Inc. Page 3 to Post Oak Boulevard traffic. This insures the ability to make left-turns in and out of developments even during the highest congested times along Post Oak Boulevard. As vehicle traffic volumes continue to grow along Post Oak Boulevard it will be more important for property access points to have traffic signals for left-turn and U-turn movements along Post Oak Boulevard. Based on the review of existing access points, it is believed that the access management improvements implemented over the last 30 years along Post Oak Boulevard, and those proposed as part of the Post Oak Boulevard reconstruction project, will enhance ingress/egress access to adjacent properties due to the installation of traffic signals providing protected left-turn movements as well as transportation capacity and management improvements. ACCESS TO BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS DURING CONSTRUCTION The development of traffic control and access plans associated with construction within public rights-of-way of the City of Houston is controlled by the Department of Public Works and Engineering (COH-PWE). The City of Houston has minimum standards for traffic control with special considerations for major roadways such as Post Oak Boulevard. Construction activity is typically limited to off-peak hours and the maximum number of lanes possible are required to remain open. CONCLUSION We have completed our review of the analysis of the proposed Post Oak Boulevard Improvements included in the Uptown Houston Transportation Plan prepared by Gunda Corporation and we have conducted an independent study of three improvement scenarios for the Post Oak Boulevard corridor. Based on our review and analysis, the proposed Dedicated Bus Lane option provides the best long term solution for reducing traffic congestion in the Uptown Houston area.

15 INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of the proposed Dedicated Bus Lane (DBL) project on future vehicular travel along Post Oak Boulevard. Three scenarios for transportation improvements along Post Oak Boulevard were considered. In addition, the access points to area businesses along Post Oak Boulevard were reviewed to determine improvements or impacts on ingress/egress due to the DBL project. CURRENT CONDITIONS Uptown Houston is one of the top three highest density areas within Houston; however, it is the most underserved, by far, when it comes to transit routes. There is already significant traffic congestion in Uptown with many of the major intersections operating at poor levels of service. At the San Felipe, Westheimer, W. Alabama, Hidalgo, and Richmond intersections, the northbound right turn and southbound left turn volumes are very high since vehicles are trying to access IH 610 especially in the PM peak hour. Most of these turning movements already have long, dual turn bays to try to accommodate the large traffic volumes. Uptown Houston, the City of Houston, the Harris County Toll Road Authority, METRO, and the Texas Department of Transportation have made many transportation infrastructure and roadway improvements over the past 30 years to address congestion issues. These improvements include: Freeway Improvements o IH 610/IH 10 Direct Connectors o IH 610/US 59 Direct Connectors o IH 610 Braided On/Off Ramps o Extension of Post Oak Boulevard Southbound as IH 610 Southbound Frontage Road under US 59 o Extension of Northbound IH 610 Frontage Road under US 59 o Construction of Westpark Tollway Connection Improvements o Westpark Tollway at Post Oak Boulevard and Sage o Widening East/West Thoroughfares Richmond Westheimer San Felipe o New East/West Public Roadways Hidalgo Street, IH 610 Exit and extension to Chimney Rock Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 1

16 o o W. Alabama connection to IH 610 North/South Public Roadways Widening of McCue Street from Westheimer to Chevy Chase Extension of S. Post Oak Lane from San Felipe to Ambassador Way Conversion of Private Drives to Public Streets Guilford Court Ambassador Way Chevy Chase In addition to adding capacity via new roadway lanes or transit, capacity can often also be added through transportation system management improvements. Examples of Transportation Systems Management (TSM) include: Access management Smart traffic signals Incident management Flexible work hours Carpool/vanpool programs Traffic management center Many businesses in Uptown Houston have already implemented TSM improvements such as flexible work hours to distribute some of the traffic loads to off-peak time periods so that employees do not have to endure long travel times to and from work. Some employees also choose to carpool to their place of employment, but this does not result in significant decreases of traffic volumes. While these transportation infrastructure improvement projects and programs have been important for mobility in the Uptown Houston area, they will not be able to support the future vehicle demand of the area. Even if residential, retail, and commercial developments in Uptown grow at a slower rate, traffic volumes will continue to grow as more traffic passes through the area unrelated to Uptown. A major transportation issue in the area is congestion along IH 610. No matter the number of improvements made within Uptown Houston on Post Oak Boulevard or east/west thoroughfares, vehicles will still be caught in long queues along the IH 610 frontage roads and main lanes trying to reach their ultimate destinations. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 2

17 SOLUTIONS Several solutions have been considered to address future congestion. One option would be to widen Post Oak Boulevard by adding one lane in each direction. This results in a slight improvement; however, the access issues at IH 610 significantly limit the effectiveness of the added lane and ultimately the demand will exceed this one lane of added capacity. The only effective solution is to reduce the number of single occupancy vehicles in the area. This can be achieved by creating a transit system that is attractive (proving reliable, frequent service) to residents, employees, and visitors of Uptown Houston, as proven in Downtown Houston where approximately 32% of commuters use transit. Bus service is currently provided in mixed-flow along Post Oak Boulevard, but is under-utilized because it does not provide a significant time benefit to potential users. A dedicated bus lane (DBL) providing faster travel times to Uptown Houston destinations would give drivers an incentive to change modes of travel. This would be enhanced if these buses could travel on IH 610 in an exclusive, elevated lane to reach the Northwest Transit Center or continue traveling on the IH 10 managed lanes. ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY The following is a summary of the overall methodology for the analysis conducted as part of the study. 1. Traffic Volumes Historical and current data were compared and summarized in order to develop baseline volumes to use in the existing conditions model. See Tab One for further explanation and data. 2. Projection Validation and New Projections Previous studies as well as the Houston- Galveston Area Council (H-GAC) travel demand model were reviewed for use in generating traffic projections, transit ridership projections, and development patterns. It was determined that a 1% annual growth rate was appropriate for this study. See Tab Two for further explanation of growth projections. 3. VISSIM Modeling Analysis was conducted for five conditions: Existing (2014), Background (2035), and three proposed bus scenarios (2035). The conditions are described further in the next section of the report. See Tab Three for modeling details and output. 4. Level of Service and Travel Time Comparison The results of the analysis for each scenario were compared to determine overall findings of the study. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 3

18 ANALYSIS SCENARIOS Five conditions were modeled as part of this study. The five cases are described below: Base Case This model includes existing 2014 conditions such as existing traffic volumes, traffic signal timings, and lane configurations. Future Conditions This model uses traffic volume projections for 2035 assuming no changes in existing transit service. Scenario 1 This model considers the addition of Bus Rapid Transit in mixed-flow traffic along Post Oak Boulevard. Post Oak Boulevard would continue to have three lanes in each direction; however, the bus would share the curb lane with passenger vehicles. The 2035 traffic volume projections were used. Scenario 2 This model considers dedicated lanes for Bus Rapid Transit located in the current median of Post Oak Boulevard. The 2035 traffic volume projections were adjusted to account for transit usage. The transit reduction assumes that buses will be able to travel in an exclusive, elevated bus lane on IH 610. Scenario 3 This model considers the addition of Bus Rapid Transit in a new bus lane on Post Oak Boulevard. The cross section of Post Oak Boulevard would add a fourth lane in each direction that would be used for buses and right turning vehicles only. The 2035 traffic volume projections were used. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 4

19 DEDICATED BUS LANE Currently, Uptown Houston is planning for dedicated bus lanes along the existing median of Post Oak Boulevard. A preliminary schematic of the dedicated bus lanes and stations, developed by Gunda Corporation and dated June 30, 2014, was referenced in this study specifically for the station locations and intersection configurations. It was assumed that in all three bus lane scenarios the stations would be located roughly where they are shown on the plans along Post Oak Boulevard. The schematic alignment can be found under Tab Four. FINDINGS Based on the results of the traffic modeling, the added growth of traffic between 2014 and 2035 will increase congestion along Post Oak Boulevard. The addition of dedicated bus lanes on Post Oak Boulevard will significantly improve both vehicle and transit operations along the corridor by removing single occupancy vehicles from the area. TRAVEL TIME Expected travel times were calculated for vehicles and buses in each scenario described in the ANALYSIS SCENARIOS section of this report. Table 1 below shows the travel time for vehicles and buses between Richmond and IH 610 along Post Oak Boulevard. The model included one bus every five minutes in each direction on Post Oak Boulevard or twelve buses an hour. As can be seen in Table 1, due to congestion along the corridor, only a portion of the buses could travel the full length of the corridor in an hour in mixed-flow in Scenarios 1 and 3; four and six respectively for northbound traffic and six and eight for southbound traffic. In addition, the bus travel time in mixed-flow is much higher than vehicle travel time. This will not encourage drivers to get out of their vehicles and into buses. The Dedicated Bus Lane scenario, Scenario 2, has the shortest travel time for both vehicles and buses compared to the other scenarios. Approximately ten buses in each direction are able to travel the corridor in an hour. In addition to shorter travel times, commuters will have added time available for work or relaxation during bus rides. This type of bus service will be more reliable and will attract more people, which results in fewer vehicles on the roadway and improved mobility. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 5

As can be seen in Table 2, the dedicated bus lane on Post Oak Boulevard, in combination with managed lanes on IH 610/IH 10 and US 59, result in a significantly shorter travel time for commuters to the Katy area and commuters to Sugar Land also experience a shorter travel time when riding transit. Travel times were calculated using METRO managed lane speed records.

21 EAST-WEST STREETS In addition to significant travel time benefits on Post Oak Boulevard, a dedicated bus lane will also reduce traffic on the east-west thoroughfares thus reducing traffic at the IH 610 interchanges by removing single passenger vehicle trips. The volumes east of Post Oak Boulevard on San Felipe, Westheimer, and Richmond west of IH 610 will all be reduced by approximately 4% due to increased transit ridership resulting in a decrease in single passenger vehicle travel. The traffic volumes east of Post Oak Boulevard on W. Alabama are expected to be reduced by approximately 10%. This reduction in traffic will provide additional relief at the IH 610 interchanges. ACCESS TO BUSINESSES AND RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS Access Changes to Businesses and Residential Developments Over the last 30 years many transportation improvements have been made to improve access to properties in the Uptown Houston area. These include roadway widening projects, roadway reconstruction projects, traffic signal system upgrades, traffic signal timing improvements, incident management command center and response teams, installation of new traffic signals in combination with consolidation of ingress/egress locations, median revisions, braided ramps along IH 610, intersection ramp improvements at IH 10/IH 610 and US 59/IH 610 intersections, roadway improvements for connection to the Westpark Tollway, and pedestrian improvements to encourage walking in lieu of vehicle travel. All of these improvements have impacted site access in a positive way. The proposed construction along Post Oak Boulevard will closely follow the previous access management improvements particularly related to traffic signals that have been installed along Post Oak Boulevard over the last 30 years and the few new signals that will be added with the Post Oak Boulevard reconstruction project. In the proposed configuration of Post Oak Boulevard, right-turn in and out movements to and from adjacent properties will operate the same as they do today. Left-turns into sites will have a protected left-turn signal, and likewise, left-turns out will also have a protected movement relative to Post Oak Boulevard traffic. This insures the ability to make left-turns in and out of developments even during the highest congested times along Post Oak Boulevard. As vehicle traffic volumes continue to grow along Post Oak Boulevard it will be more important for property access points to have traffic signals for left-turn and U-turn movements along Post Oak Boulevard. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 7

22 Over the last 30 years many retail developments have converted to consolidated ingress/egress movements to fewer locations utilizing traffic signals to provide guaranteed and protected access onto Post Oak Boulevard. It is also important to understand that the primary benefit of traffic signals to businesses is related to left-turning vehicles in both the ingress and egress movements. Rightturn ingress and egress movements to almost all properties along Post Oak Boulevard are not impacted by the installation of traffic signals or the median revisions. Based on the review of existing access points, it is believed that the access management improvements implemented over the last 30 years along Post Oak Boulevard, and those proposed as part of the Post Oak Boulevard reconstruction project, will enhance ingress/egress access to adjacent properties due to the installation of traffic signals providing protected left-turn movements as well as transportation capacity and management improvements. Access to Businesses and Residential Developments During Construction The development of traffic control and access plans associated with construction within public rights-of-way of the City of Houston is controlled by the Department of Public Works and Engineering (COH-PWE). The City of Houston has minimum standards for traffic control with special considerations for major roadways such as Post Oak Boulevard. Construction activity is typically limited to off-peak hours and the maximum number of lanes possible are required to remain open. The Uptown Development Authority has been managing the construction of infrastructure improvement projects since shortly after its creation and has always made access to adjacent properties and safety top priorities. Many of these projects have occurred on major thoroughfares in the area, including Post Oak Boulevard. Some example projects include the construction of a 24- inch water line in the northbound lanes of Post Oak Boulevard and the reconstruction of the San Felipe/Post Oak Boulevard intersections as part of the San Felipe Widening Project. When construction traffic control plans are developed the City of Houston and Uptown have historically required designers to analyze several construction phasing options in order to find the most efficient design considering both speed of construction and disruption to property access. This analysis should be included in the development of construction plans for the redevelopment of Post Oak Boulevard. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 8

23 Special consideration has been paid to the time of year considering peak shopping seasons. Additionally, consideration should be given to special events that might be planned for the area. On previous projects in the area a study was performed to review other proposed construction projects that could impact traffic patterns in the area. This information is considered when planning construction phase and timing of sections of the improvements. Special consideration similar to the items outlined above should be considered during the reconstruction of Post Oak Boulevard. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page 9

24 TAB ONE Traffic Volumes Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study

25 TRAFFIC DATA The traffic study conducted by Gunda Corporation in May 2014, utilized 2008 traffic count data throughout the corridor. In order to not fully duplicate the data collection effort from the past and to review recent growth in the area intersections, peak hour traffic count data was collected at the following major intersections along Post Oak Boulevard: Post Oak Boulevard at Richmond Post Oak Boulevard at Hidalgo Post Oak Boulevard at West Alabama Post Oak Boulevard at Westheimer Post Oak Boulevard at San Felipe Upon comparing the 2014 and 2008 counts, it was determined that there was minimal increase in traffic volume and in some instances the volumes actually went down in Table 1-1 below shows the total number of vehicles entering the major intersections from both the 2008 and 2014 counts. Table 1-1: PM Peak Hour Traffic Volume Comparison at Major Intersections Intersection 2008 Total 2014 Total Difference Entering PM Peak Hour Volume Entering PM Peak Hour Volume POB at Richmond % POB at Hidalgo % POB at West Alabama % POB at Westheimer % POB at San Felipe % The 2014 traffic volumes were used at the major intersections for existing conditions analysis, in combination with 2008 volumes at minor intersections. The 2008 volumes were not increased for growth. Manual adjustments had to be made to volumes along the corridor for lane balancing, but substantial changes to the volumes did not occur.

41 TAB TWO Growth Projections Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study

42 GROWTH PROJECTIONS GROWTH RATE In order to determine the growth rate to apply to existing traffic volumes to develop traffic volumes for 2035, several sources were considered. First, the population and employment data from the H- GAC travel demand model were compared for 2014 and Data from the TAZs shaded in the map below were used. Figure 2-1: Traffic Analysis Zones Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page A2-1

43 As shown in the Table 2-1, it is anticipated that the population will grow approximately 5% per year and employment will grow approximately 2% per year. H-GAC traffic volume projections were also reviewed which indicated an area growth of 1 to 2% between 2014 and Table 2-1: H-GAC Population and Employment Data Growth % Growth Annual % Growth Population 12,748 27,109 14, % 5.4% Employment 60,202 87,904 27, % 2.2% Based on the count data and the H-GAC employment growth, it was determined that an annual growth rate of 1% should be used in the analysis of future conditions. This results in a total growth of 21% between 2014 and TRANSIT REDUCTION To identify a transit reduction factor for the three bus scenarios, the Uptown Transit Demand Forecasts developed by HDR (study dated June 18, 2013) were utilized. The HDR study followed a standard travel demand modeling process to estimate boardings and alightings at each station along Post Oak Boulevard. For the purpose of this study, the alternative defined as 2035 Post Oak Blvd BRT w/ Elevated Busway on West Loop was considered most appropriate. From the HDR report, 2035 Station to Station Passenger Activity by Time of Day (BRT in Elevated Busway) was used as a starting point for transit reduction in this study (see Table 2-2). This table refers to peak trips, but includes five hours of data, 2 hours in the AM peak and 3 hours in the PM peak. In order to reduce this to one peak hour for use in the traffic analysis, ridership forecasts from the HDR study were used to determine that the design hour/pm peak hour was approximately 20% of the peak period ridership (see Table 2-3). Additionally, the HDR study estimated that 55% would travel southbound and 45% would travel northbound. These factors were all applied to the boarding/alighting table to determine design hour transit usage. The reductions were then applied to the traffic volumes along the routes to each station. A vehicle occupancy rate of 1.15 was applied to the passenger volumes to determine a vehicle equivalency. In addition, a small factor was added to account for passengers walking to the intermediate stations from their place of origin. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page A2-2

46 TAB THREE Traffic Analysis Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study

47 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS VISSIM SCENARIO MODELING The traffic simulation model VISSIM was used to conduct traffic analysis for each of the five scenarios described previously in this report. Existing traffic signal timings were used for all analysis scenarios. It was assumed that for the exclusive bus option (Scenario 2), that buses would travel through the intersection when northbound and southbound traffic had a green signal phase. No signals were pre-empted or given priority for buses. Individual bus routes were modeled with boarding and alighting volumes assigned at each station. All signalized intersections along Post Oak Boulevard were included in the model as well as some of the primary driveways. For the three bus scenarios, it was assumed that traffic signals would be installed at the following intersections: Post Oak Boulevard at Locke Lane (Canyon Café) Post Oak Boulevard at Transco 1 Drive (access to Lakes on Post Oak) For the exclusive bus scenario, Scenario 2, it was assumed that a traffic signal would also be installed at the intersection of Post Oak Boulevard and West Briar to provide protected turning movements. CAPACITY ANALYSIS Results of the analyses conducted in VISSIM are reported in standard level of service (LOS) format, with the most favorable conditions being designated as LOS A and the poorest conditions indicated by LOS F. Intersection level of service is based on the amount of delay that each vehicle encounters at a given intersection. The level of service criteria for signalized intersections, along with a brief description of the conditions experienced for each level of service grade, can be seen in Table 3-1. Transportation agencies generally consider operations at or above LOS C to be acceptable. In more dense areas like a central business district, operations at or above LOS D may also be considered acceptable during peak traffic hours. Analyses results for all five conditions are provided in Table 3-2. Post Oak Boulevard Traffic Study Page A3-1

48 Table 3-1: Level of Service Criteria for Signalized Intersections Level of Service Stopped Delay (seconds/vehicle) A 10 B > 10 and 20 C > 20 and 35 D > 35 and 55 E > 55 and 80 F > 80 Description At a single intersection most vehicles do not stop at all. When linked with other signals, vehicles progress through intersections without stopping. At a single intersection some vehicles stop before getting a green signal. When linked with other signals, some cars may have to stop but most progress through the intersection without stopping. At a single intersection, a significant number of vehicles must stop and wait for a green signal. Some vehicles may have to wait through one full signal cycle before being able to move through the intersection. At this level, congestion is noticeable. Many vehicles have to stop while waiting for a green signal. A noticeable number of vehicles have to wait through one full cycle before being able to continue through the intersection. At this level, almost all vehicles have to wait through one or more full signal cycles before moving through the intersection. When linked with other signals, progression is slow. At this level, the number of vehicles entering the intersection exceeds its capacity. Vehicles have to wait through multiple full signal cycles before moving through the intersection.

52 ANALYSIS OF NUENO RETAIL REPORT

53 Analysis of nueno retail reports William Whitney, Ph. D UCLA Professor Principal of Arthur Anderson Urban Land Institute Advisor Author Response to Uptown Houston s Dedicated Bus Lane: Wrong System, Wrong Place by Jose Luis Nueno A comparison with other existing and proposed DBL / BRT programs suggests that the Uptown DBL - BRT is perhaps the most responsive yet in terms of taking steps in its design and execution that should minimize negative impacts on the local retail community during the development period. (A detailed, point by point analysis of the Nueno report is available in this packet) John Fransen Vice President, The Hahn Company International Conference of Shopping Centers Urban Land Institute In his executive summary, Professor Luis Nueno issues sweeping, definitive predictions resulting in a drop in sales of 50% to 60% that will force closure of most retailers. He would like the reader of his report to buy into his extreme argument either no construction and status quo (his position) versus a straw man argument he has created a worst case construction nightmare scenario where most retailers are forced to close. This is just not a believable position. Alexander Garvin, M.Arch., M.U.S Adjunct Professor, Yale Vice President, Lower Manhattan Development Corporation Deputy Commissioner, New York City Author The planned investments in Post Oak Boulevard will increase the street s carrying capacity and, with the increase in the number of people on the street, increase property values and generate further private investment far in excess of what will be spent on improvements to the public realm.

54 In addition to these international experts, local retailers who have successfully served the Houston retail market for decades support the Dedicated Bus Lanes Project, including: Uptown Park (AmReit) BLVD Place (Wulfe & Co.) Post Oak Shopping Center (Tanglewood Corp.) Centre at Post Oak (Weingarten) Galleria (Simon) Richmond Square (Weingarten) Support Project Do Not Support Project Neutral / Unknown
