Woods & Steele Road to Graham Road <br />No improvements are assumed for I-90 or other state facilities. <br />All network coding was checked for the revisions. Capacities were recomputed for the <br />links and nodes. The Multi -Point Assignment (MPA) equivalencies were checked and <br />revised as necessary. Turn penalties were checked and revised as necessary. <br />Growth Scenarios <br />The four growth scenarios were analyzed run for both the no -build and build <br />conditions. PM Peak hour volumes were forecast and the links were plotted with colors <br />depicting ranges of volume/capacity ratios for the roads. Similar to the previously <br />displayed base year conditions, these colors range light green through dark green, <br />orange, red, and dark red to show increasing amounts of congestion. <br />Also, relative amounts of delay are shown for nodes or intersections using red dot. The <br />larger the red dot the more delay computed by the model. Intersections with large red <br />dots indicate potential problem locations. Graphics of each of the scenarios are shown <br />below with traffic volumes. <br />A comparison was made between alternatives to show the differences between land use <br />scenarios and the Build/No-Build conditions. Vehicle Miles of Travel (VMT) and <br />Vehicle Hours of Travel (VHT) were summarized for the Kittitas County. The average <br />speed (VMT/VHT) was computed for each of the scenarios also to facilitate <br />comparisons. <br />Summary Comparison of Alternatives <br />Scenario <br />VMT <br />VHT <br />VMT/VHT <br />No Build <br />Full Corridor <br />Development <br />Medium <br />Corridor <br />Development <br />' <br />Low Corridor <br />Kirdtas County, Washington Transportation Model - May 2009 Page 47 <br />
