Subject: City of Palm Desert General Plan Update Traffic Study Addendum
(Supplemental Analysis)
Dear Mr. Criste:
Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to provide this Supplemental Analysis to the
City of Palm Desert General Plan Traffic Study (Urban Crossroads, Inc.,
September, 2003, referred to as the Traffic Study in this addendum to the
document). Additional analysis has been performed to compare the current City
of Palm Desert forecasts to the recently completed Coachella Valley traffic model
forecasts, provide daily roadway segment analysis on segments of Bob Hope
Drive, and to facilitate better understanding of roadway segment levels of
service.
BOB HOPE DRIVE SEGMENT ANALYSIS
Bob Hope Drive is outside the City of Palm Desert Sphere of Influence, but is
analyzed because of the reconfiguration of the Ramon Road interchange. Daily
- segment analysis has been performed at your request for roadway segments of
Bob Hope Drive from Varner Road to Frank Sinatra Drive. A summary
comparison of daily traffic volumes (similar to that in the Executive Summary of
the Traffic Study) is included as Table 1. Table 2 corresponds to Table ES-3 in
.Y

the Traffic Study and compares volume/capacity (V/C) ratios for all future scenarios.
Existing segment analysis cannot be performed, as the data is not available. A small
change in V/C ratio occurs between alternatives, but they all follow the same pattem of
LOS "F" between Varner Road and Ramon Road and LOS "C" or "D" south of Ramon
Road. Tables 3 through 6 contain capacity analysis for the Currently Adopted General
Plan, Preferred, Less Intense, and More Intense alternatives, respectively.
PALM DESERT AND COACHELLA VALLEY FORECASTS
The recently completed draft Coachella Valley Area Transportation System (CVATS)
daily roadway segment data has been reviewed and is generally consistent, although
the draft CVATS data indicates a greater number of daily LOS capacity issues (volume
exceeding generalized daily planning capacities). Urban Crossroads, Inc. believes that
the more detailed subarea model used in the Traffic Study is more accurate and should
continue to be used for this General Plan Update.
PEAK HOUR SEGMENT ANALYSIS
To better understand the relationship of daily roadway segment LOS as compared to
intersection LOS, peak hour roadway segment analysis has been performed at the five
(5) Preferred Alternative roadway segments with the worst service levels (that are next
to an intersection analysis location). The peak hour roadway segment analysis
methodology uses a peak hour capacity of 1,600 vehicles per lane per hour (vplph) (the
Highway Capacity Manual recommends a default value at intersections of 1,900 vplph;
this value has been reduced to reflect potential side friction, bus stops, etc.). The total
directional capacity is determined by multiplying the number of lanes by the peak hour
capacity per lane. Determining the directional LOS requires calculation of the of the
directional peak hour traffic volume divided by the directional peak hour roadway
segment capacity. Attachment A contains the result of this analysis. A summary of
Mr. John Criste

peak hour service levels is included as Table 8. As shown in Table 8, even though the
daily segment analysis shows deficient operations, peak hour segment analysis reflects
acceptable service levels. This clearly illustrates the critical role of intersections in
roadway system operations and supports our recommendation that daily analysis
should pnly be used as a screening tool to identify roadway segments where ongoing
monitoring of intersection operations should be a Circulation Element Policy.
CLOSING
Urban Crossroads, Inc. is pleased to provide this addendum to the City of Palm Desert
General Plan Traffic Study. Please do not hesitate to give us a call at (949) 660-1994 if
you have any questions regarding this supplemental analysis.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Existing conditions data collection and analysis has been completed that includes
existing daily and key intersection peak hour peak season traffic volumes, existing
roadway segment number of through lanes and key intersection lane configuration and
traffic control device data, existing daily roadway segment volume to capacity ratios
(V/C) ratios (10 segments at LOS "D", 7 segments at LOS "E", 7 segments at LOS "F",
for a total of 24 segments experiencing LOS "D" or worse conditions) and peak hour
intersection analysis and turn movement values (8 deficient locations at LOS "D" or
worse). The existing conditions also includes currently adopted Circulation Plans,
including City of Palm Desert Circulation Element and cross-sections and a lane
configuration table summarizing planned improvements (Table 2-6).
Four different General Plan land use alternatives have been evaluated, including:
• Currently Adopted
• Preferred Alternative
• Less Intense
• More Intense
Table ES-1 compares trip generation for the four scenarios. The Currently Adopted
General Plan generates the least amount of daily traffic (964,232 daily trip-ends), with
increased traffic generating potential for the other three alternatives, all of which
generate between 1,000,000 and 1,010,000 daily trip-ends. The percentage difference
between the lowest generating alternative (Currently Adopted) and the highest
generating alternative (More Intense) is 10.29%. In addition, many roadways within the

City of Palm Desert also carry through traffic that neither begins nor ends within the
City, further reducing the differences in forecast traffic volumes between alternatives.
Future conditions data includes daily volume forecasts and v/c ratio calculations for all 4
primary General Plan land use alternatives. The preferred alternative has also been
evaluated without the future proposed 1-10 Freeway Interchange at Portola Avenue.
While some variation in daily volume forecasts does occur between the different land
use scenarios, substantial changes in roadway segment operations do not occur. Table
ES-2 summarizes daily volume forecasts for the four scenarios. Table ES-3 shows
daily volume/capacity ratios throughout the study area. Daily volume/capacity analysis
has revealed patterns of daily planning level capacity issues on north-south roadways
with 1-10 freeway access in the vicinity of the 1-10 interchanges. Daily volume/capacity
calculations also reflect poor service levels on SR-111 and the 1-10 Freeway. Table ES-
4 compares the number of deficiencies by scenario. There is no substantial
improvement/change in the study areawide service levels with any land use alternative.
The More Intense alternative includes slightly more deficiencies than any other
alternative, and the Existing General Plan reflects the fewest deficiencies, as expected
upon review of the trip generation summaries.
Exhibit ES-A shows the recommended Circulation Plan for the City of Palm Desert.
Most roadways have the same classification as on the currently adopted General Plan
Circulation Element. The area has been expanded to include the City's North Sphere
area. Classifications for the North Sphere area have been compared to the current
RCIP network, and most roadways have smaller classifications than in the RCIP plan.
Recommendations should be made to reconcile the RCIP network with the
Recommended City of Palm Desert Circulation Plan.
Exhibit ES-B shows roadway cross-sections for Circulation Plan facilities. The
Secondary Roadway cross-section has been reconfigured within the same right-of-way
to provide a four lane divided cross-section because Secondary roadways throughout
the City are generally striped to provide separate left turn lanes for vehicles turning left.

Peak hour intersection analysis has been performed at key intersection locations for the
Preferred scenario only. Based on the relatively small variations in daily traffic volumes,
the results of the peak hour analysis is generally applicable to all of the land use
alternatives. Traffic signals are warranted at all key intersection analysis locations in
the Buildout (Post-2020) condition. Intersection configurations for the Preferred
scenario with improvements to Level of Service "C" or "D" are included in the analysis
separately. With planned or typical General Plan improvements, most intersection
analysis locations operate at Level of Service "D" or better. Table ES-5 lists
improvements necessary to achieve LOS "D" at study area intersections. The only
locations which need to be improved beyond planned levels per the Circulation Element
or specific direction from the City Engineer for LOS "D" conditions are the East leg of
SR-111 (NS) at Fred Waring Drive (EW), Washington Street (NS) at the 1-10 Eastbound
ramps (EW), Washington Street (NS) at Fred Waring Drive (EW), and Bob Hope Drive
(NS) at the 1-10 Interchange (EW).
To attain level of service "C", additional improvements are necessary at a number of
locations. Table ES-6 summarizes these additional LOS "C" improvements. To achieve
LOS "C" peak hour operations, additional through lanes are necessary at the following
intersections:
• westbound on Fred Waring Drive (4th westbound through lane) at Cook Street
• westbound on Dinah Shore Drive (3rd westbound through lane) at Monterey
Avenue
• southbound on Washington Street (4th southbound through lane) at Country Club
Drive
• northbound on Washington Street (4th northbound through lane shared with right
turn lane) at 1-10 EB ramps
Other improvements occur at interchanges (a free right turn lane leaving the freeway at
Cook Street (NS) and 1-10 EB Ramps (EW), and additional lanes at Bob Hope Drive at
the I-10 Interchange). At the intersection of SR-111 (NS) and Fred Waring Drive (EW),

the separate right turn lane required for LOS "D" conditions must be a free right turn
lane to obtain LOS "C" conditions.
A special case is Monterey Avenue at Dinah Shore Drive. Urban Crossroads, Inc. staff
has been informed that Dinah Shore east of Monterey is only a 4D (secondary), while
the General Plan indicates a 6D (Arterial) roadway. With the increase in land use
intensity for the preferred alternative in the "mid-district" (between Frank Sinatra Drive
and the 1-10 Freeway), combined with intensified development along the north side of
the 1-10 Freeway and increased through traffic on the freeway per the regional model, 3
through lanes (6D) is required at this intersection to achieve LOS "C" (but not LOS "D").
Another special issue that has been addressed in this analysis is the need for a new
freeway interchange and overpass at Portola Parkway. New daily roadway segment
analysis has been completed to evaluate the change in daily traffic volumes and
operations for the Preferred Alternative with and without the proposed Portola Parkway
interchange. Recently completed peak hour analysis that was performed in conjunction
with the Desert Gateway project has also been included in the General Plan traffic
study. Based on the analysis, the Portola Parkway interchange is needed to avoid
potentially unacceptable traffic conditions at both the Monterey Avenue and the Cook
Street interchanges with the 1-10 Freeway.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY
1.1 Introduction
This traffic study has been prepared in support of the 2003 Update of the City of
Palm Desert General Plan and Circulation Element. The Circulation Element
emphasizes the upgrade and maintenance of a transportation system for the City
that responds to the demands of the current and planned land uses, as set forth
in the Land Use Element. Four alternative land use scenarios are evaluated with
respect to daily traffic volumes. Additionally, peak hour intersection analysis has
been performed for the Preferred scenario. Special issues are evaluated,
including the future potential 1-10 Freeway interchange at Portola Avenue, and
alternative travel modes. This study identifies improvements required to maintain
the City of Palm Desert desired service levels throughout the City for each
scenario. The project location is depicted on Exhibit 1-A.
The study area evaluated in the analysis section of this report is presented on
Exhibit 1-B. The City of Palm Desert has a circulation system consisting of
arterial roadways and local streets. State Route (SR-)111, Interstate (I-)10
Freeway, and SR-74 (Monterey Avenue) provide regional access to the city.
Established transit service also connects the City to the nearby communities.
For vehicular transportation, a hierarchical roadway network is established with
designated roadway types and design standards. The roadway type is linked to
anticipated traffic levels. As growth within the City occurs, capacity analysis
should be performed and improvements made to the roadway system. Because
local circulation is linked with the regional system, the Circulation Element also
focuses on participation in regional programs to alleviate traffic congestion and
construct capacity improvements.

Plans prepared by Caltrans, the County and other regional agencies guide
development/improvement of the regional transportation system. Strategies to
handle anticipated traffic levels from future regional development are currently
being developed as discussed hereafter.
1.2 Forecasting Procedures
A separate PDTM model run was prepared for each land use scenario evaluated
in this traffic study report. The daily traffic volume forecasts for this study effort
have been prepared using the Palm Desert Traffic Model (PDTM). The PDTM
traffic forecasting tool has been developed in accordance with regional
consistency requirements and has obtained the required finding of consistency
from the Riverside County Transportation Commission. Inputs to the PDTM
include trip generation from the regional Coachella Valley (CVATS) Model, the
City of Palm Desert General Plan roadway network, and the City of Palm Desert
land use in coordination with trip generation rates as documented in the Palm
Desert Traffic Model (PDTM) Model Documentation (RKJK, January, 2001). The
PDTM has been updated in the course of this work effort to reflect the most
current CVATS model data. The Traffic Analysis Zone (TAZ) structure has been
refined to provide more detail, and to allow for better traffic loading onto the
roadway network. The updated TAZ structure is shown on Exhibit 1-C. The
PDTM is based on the traditional forecasting procedure that includes:
• Trip Generation
• Trip Distribution
• Traffic Assignment
The PDTM is not intended to deal with issues related to mode choice and as
such includes no explicit mode choice step in the forecasting process. Trip
generation may be conservative in areas where above average transit service is
provided, or where the mix of urban land uses has been developed in conjunction

with pedestrian facilities to reduce dependence on the automobile. The PDTM
implicitly relies on the regional travel demand tool and the data obtained from this
tool and included in the PDTM to account for regional mode choice
characteristics.
1.3 Land Use Data
Land use data has been provided by AIS to Urban Crossroads, Inc. for use in
evaluating General Plan alternatives. The City of Palm Desert Sphere of
Influence has been divided into three districts for the purpose of this analysis.
The north district includes everything in the Sphere of Influence north of the 1-10
Freeway. The mid district spans south of the 1-10 freeway to Frank Sinatra Drive.
The south district contains everything south of Frank Sinatra Drive. In the
Chapters that follow, each alternative is discussed in more detail and compared
to other alternatives.
1.4 Forecast Refinement Procedure
The PDTM provides raw daily traffic volume forecasts for each scenario. The
Currently Adopted General Plan raw volumes are compared to existing daily
traffic counts. For each instance where the future volume is less than existing
(negative growth), the raw future volume is adjusted (increased) to match the
existing counted volume. At locations where negative growth was eliminated in
the Currently Adopted General Plan scenario, the same increase over raw future
model volume is applied to each of the other three scenarios. This process
shows the change in volume at each location due to land use differences, but
does allow some minor decreases in volume at certain locations for the three
alternative land use scenarios.
Future turning movement forecasts are extracted from the model at each of the
54 key intersection analysis locations for the Preferred scenario. At each
1-6
intersection, volumes decreases from existing counts are eliminated. Forecasts
are reviewed for reasonableness, and minor adjustments are made as
necessary.
1.5 Analysis Criteria
The evaluation criteria used to develop the recommended General Plan
Circulation Element are based on the daily traffic volumes and volume to
capacity (V/C) ratios. The V/C ratios are generally based on Capacity values
utilized by the City of Palm Desert for planning purposes. Current guidelines
state that a V/C ratio of 0.80 represents the acceptable limit of daily traffic (e.g.,
LOS "C") pursuant to the currently adopted General Plan Circulation Element for
study area roadways. This criterion will be evaluated with respect to forecast
volumes to determine if undesirable roadway widths (e.g. widening that impacts
existing homes or other existing development) are required, and LOS "D" should
be deemed acceptable (as it is in several other jurisdictions).
Intersection analysis is presented for existing conditions, and for the Preferred
scenario. The Preferred scenario intersection analysis is evaluated to provide
future intersection lane configuration recommendations.
The current technical guide to the evaluation of traffic operations is the 2000
Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) (Transportation Research Board Special Report
209). The HCM defines level of service as a qualitative measure which describes
operational conditions within a traffic stream, generally in terms of such factors as
speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort and
convenience, and safety. The criteria used to evaluate LOS (Level of Service)
conditions vary based on the type of roadway and whether the traffic flow is
considered interrupted or uninterrupted.
1-7
The definitions of level of service for uninterrupted flow (flow unrestrained by the
existence of traffic control devices) are:
• LOS "A" represents free flow. Individual users are virtually unaffected
by the presence of others in the traffic stream.
• LOS "B" is in the range of stable flow, but the presence of other users
in the traffic stream begins to be noticeable. Freedom to select
desired speeds is relatively unaffected, but there is a slight decline in
the freedom to maneuver.
• LOS "C" is in the range of stable flow, but marks the beginning of the
range of flow in which the operation of individual users becomes
significantly affected by interactions with others in the traffic stream.
• LOS "D" represents high-density but stable flow. Speed and freedom
to maneuver are severely restricted, and the driver experiences a
generally poor level of comfort and convenience.
• LOS "E" represents operating conditions at or near the capacity level.
All speeds are reduced to a low, but relatively uniform value. Small
increases in flow will cause breakdowns in traffic movement.
• LOS "F" is used to define forced or breakdown flow. This condition
exists wherever the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the
amount which can traverse the point. Queues form behind such
locations.
The definitions of level of service for interrupted traffic flow (flow restrained by the
existence of traffic signals and other traffic control devices) differ slightly depending
on the type of traffic control.
1-8
The level of service is typically dependent on the quality of traffic flow at the
intersections along a roadway. The HCM methodology expresses the level of
service at an intersection in terms of delay time for the various intersection
approaches. The HCM uses different procedures depending on the type of
intersection control. The levels of service determined in this study are determined
using the HCM methodology. No peak hour factor has been applied in this
analysis. The reason the peak hour factor is not applied is because the level of
service standard for the City of Palm Desert is based on peak hour conditions.
The peak hour factor is intended for use in traffic operations (timing of signals,
etc.) to accommodate a peak 15 minute flow condition. It is not appropriate for
use in planning analysis where the basis for determining project impact is overall
peak hour conditions.
For signalized intersections, average total delay per vehicle for the overall
intersection is used to determine level of service. Levels of service at the signalized
study area intersection has been evaluated using an HCM intersection analysis
program.
For all way stop (AWS) controlled intersections, the ability of vehicles to enter the
intersection is not controlled by the occurrence of gaps in the flow of the main
street. The AWS controlled intersection has been evaluated using the HCM
methodology for this type of multi-way stop controlled intersection configuration.
The level of service criteria for this type of intersection analysis is also based on
average total delay per vehicle for the overall intersection.
The study area intersections, which are currently stop sign controlled with stop
control on the minor street only, have been analyzed using the unsignalized
intersection methodology of the HCM. For these intersections, the calculation of
level of service is dependent on the occurrence of gaps occurring in the traffic flow
of the main street. Using data collected describing the intersection configuration
and traffic volumes at the study area location, the level of service has been
1-9
calculated. The level of service criteria for this type of intersection analysis is based
on average total delay per vehicle for the worst minor street movement(s).
The level of services are defined for the various analysis methodologies as follows:
AVERAGE TOTAL
DELAY PER VEHICLE
(SECONDS)
LEVEL OF
SERVICE SIGNALIZED UNSIGNALIZED
A 0 to 10.00 0 to 10.00
B 10.01 to 20.00 10.01 to 15.00
C 20.01 to 35.00 15.01 to 25.00
D 35.01 to 55.00 25.01 to 35.00
E 55.01 to 80.00 35.01 to 50.00
F 80.01 and up 50.01 and up

2.0 EXISTING CONDITIONS
This section of the traffic study report describes the existing roadway features, daily
traffic volumes, and currently adopted General Plan Circulation Element and roadway
standard cross-sections.
2.1 Existing Roadway Characteristics
Exhibit 2-A summarizes the existing roadway cross-sections within the study area.
Existing roadway cross-sections within the City of Palm Desert range from two lane
undivided roadways in less developed areas to 6 lane divided facilities in already
developed areas of the City.

total of 7 roadway segments have V/C ratios indicating that they have volumes
exceeding existing capacities, 7 roadway segments have V/C ratios that reflect
LOS "E" conditions, and 10 segments reflect LOS "D" conditions. The highest
existing V/C ratio is observed along Fred Waring Drive between Deep Canyon
Road and Cook Street.
2.3 Existing Intersection Service Levels
Fifty-two (52) existing intersections have been selected in coordination with City
staff for this analysis. Selection criteria included intersecting roadway size and
locations where potential level of service problems have been identified in previous
study efforts. Existing intersection lanes are shown on Exhibits 2-D through 2-F.
Peak hour turning movement volumes for the existing intersections are included as
Appendix "B". AM peak hour intersection turning movement counts are included on
Exhibits 2-G through 2-I. Exhibits 2-J through 2-L show volumes for the PM peak
hour.
Existing (2002) peak hour traffic operations have been evaluated for key study
area intersections. The results of this analysis are summarized in Table 2-5,
along with the existing intersection geometrics and traffic control devices at the
analysis locations.
Existing conditions traffic signal warrant analysis has been performed and is
included as Appendix "C". Traffic signals are warranted at the following
intersection analysis locations for existing conditions:
• 1-10 WB Ramps (NS) at Ramon Road (EW) — signal installed in
2003
• Portola Avenue (NS) at Gerald Ford Drive (EW)
• Portola Avenue (NS) at Frank Sinatra Drive (EW)

Oasis Club Drive is a four (4) lane divided major thoroughfare.
Washington Street in the study area is a six (6) lane divided arterial.
Dinah Shore Drive is a six (6) lane divided arterial in the study area. East of
Monterey Avenue, Urban Crossroads, Inc. staff has been directed to use a four
lane divided cross-section for this roadway segment.
Gerald Ford Drive from Monterey Avenue to Cook Street is an arterial with six (6)
lanes divided. From Cook Street to Frank Sinatra Road it is a four (4) lane
undivided secondary roadway.

2-28
El Paseo is a four(4) lane divided roadway.
Exhibit 2-N presents the current City of Palm Desert General Plan roadway
cross-sections. While secondary roadways are shown as not having median
treatments, four lane roads throughout the City are wide enough to have
separate left turn lanes at intersections and this is standard practice under
existing conditions. Capacity has therefore been assumed to approximate
divided conditions, as left turning vehicles do not block through movements.
Table 2-6 summarizes planned improvements for intersections as roadways are
constructed to their General Plan buildout configurations. It is assumed that 6 lane
divided roadways typically have enough right-of-way to incorporate 2 left turn lanes
and a right turn lane at intersections. For four lane divided roadways, intersections
are expected to include a left and sometimes right turn lane in their typical
intersection geometries. The table also includes other lane configurations
specifically provided by the City Engineer.
2.4.2 The Regional Transportation Plan
The Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) is a component of the Regional
Comprehensive Plan and Guide prepared by the Southern California Association
of Governments (SCAG) to address regional issues, goals, objectives, and
policies for the Southern California region into the early part of the 21 st century.
The RTP, which SCAG periodically updates to address changing conditions in
the Southland, has been developed with active participation from local agencies
throughout the region, elected officials, the business community, community
groups, private institutions, and private citizens. The RTP sets broad goals for
the region and provides strategies to reduce problems related to congestion and
mobility.

2.4.3 Riverside County Integrated Project
The purpose of the RCIP is to integrate the processes of planning land use,
transportation improvements and preserving habitat for endangered species. A
primary objective of the RCIP is to accommodate projected population growth
within Riverside County by focusing development within areas that will be
readily accessible, will provide a good quality of life for future residents, and will
minimize environmental and community impacts, including impacts to sensitive
habitats and endangered species.
The most current RCIP network is included as Exhibit 2-0. This City of Palm
Desert General Plan Traffic Study conforms to the latest RCIP network, which
Riverside County Staff has directed is to be used for all analysis in lieu of the
currently adopted Riverside County General Plan.
Exhibit 2-P summarizes the resulting number of through lanes that can be
anticipated under Currently Adopted General Plan buildout conditions. The lanes
are based on the City of Palm Desert Circulation Element within the City of Palm
Desert (per the limits of the adopted circulation element), or on the proposed RCIP
network for other roadways.
2.4.4 Congestion Management Program
The Riverside County Congestion Management Program (CMP) is updated every
five years in accordance with Proposition 111, passed in June 1990. The CMP
was established in the State of California to more directly link land use,
transportation and air quality and to prompt reasonable growth management
programs that would more effectively utilize new and existing transportation
funds, alleviate traffic congestion and related impacts, and improve air quality.
The Circulation Element describes how the future transportation system will
function. This is important for congestion management, since deficiencies along

the CMP system must be mitigated when they occur. The ability to address such
deficiencies now, instead of when they occur, is critical. Understanding the
reason for these deficiencies and identifying ways to reduce the impact of future
growth and development along a critical CMP corridor will conserve scarce
funding resources and help target those resources appropriately.
The CMP in the Coachella Valley system is shown on Exhibit 2-Q. The State
highways on the CMP roadway system in the study area include the 1-10
Freeway, SR-74, and SR-111. Principal arterials on the CMP system in the
study area include Monterey Avenue from the 1-10 Freeway to SR-111 and
Ramon Road west of the 1-10 Freeway. For principal arterials, the CMP standard
of LOS "E" or better is less stringent than the City of Palm Desert standard of
LOS "C" or better (or the potential change to an LOS "D" standard that is
considered in this study), therefore, additional analysis at these locations is
unnecessary.

3.0 CURRENTLY ADOPTED GENERAL PLAN ALTERNATIVE
The Currently Adopted General Plan scenario reflects the currently adopted General
Plan Land Use Element. Table 3-1 summarizes trip generation for the Currently
Adopted General Plan scenario. The Currently Adopted General Plan scenario
generates the least amount of traffic for the entire study area. The mid district is the
only trip generation district with more trip generation for the Currently Adopted General
Plan scenario than for any other scenario. For the Currently Adopted General Plan
scenario, there are almost 100,000 more trips attracted to the City of Palm Desert than
are produced in the City. Over half of this difference is attributable to Home-Based
Shopping/Personal Business, implying that commercial areas are expected to draw
traffic from surrounding communities.
3.1 Currently Adopted General Plan Alternative Daily Traffic Volumes
Exhibit 3-A presents the future daily traffic volumes for Currently Adopted
General Plan conditions. Appendix "E" contains the future forecasts refinement
calculations. Daily traffic volumes have been refined for the Currently Adopted
General Plan scenario to eliminate negative growth throughout the study area.
The highest daily volumes occur most often near the 1-10 Freeway interchanges.
Near the 1-10 Freeway, Washington Street, Monterey Avenue, Bob Hope Drive,
and Cook Street all carry in excess of 50,000 vehicles per day (VPD) with
Washington Street expected to carry the highest traffic volumes (in excess of
70,000 vehicles per day), followed by Monterey Avenue (63,700 vehicles per
day). Other arterial roadways projected to carry upwards of 50,000 VPD include:
• SR-111 from west of Portola Avenue to the east end of the study area
• Washington Street north of Varner Road
• Bob Hope Drive north of Varner Road
• Cook Street from Frank Sinatra Drive to Gerald Ford Drive

4.0 PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE
Table 4-1 contains trip generation for the Preferred alternative. The Preferred scenario
generates approximately 86,000 more trips than the Currently Adopted General Plan
scenario. In the north and mid districts, more trips are produced (reflecting an increase
in housing) for this scenario. The south district shows an increase in trips attracted for
social/recreation and shopping/personal business reasons. The imbalance between
productions and attractions (while still substantial) is less in the Preferred plan than the
Currently Adopted General Plan. A large portion of the imbalance is in the mid district.
The mid district includes University Park, which is planned to encourage use of
alternative travel modes. Bus routes and bike paths will be designed to provide access
from the high density residential areas and nearby commercial to the planned
University. While the model is not intended to reflect vehicle trip reduction
characteristics associated with the benefits of such a system combined with the proper
mix of land uses, an especially well developed non-motorized transportation system
could potentially reduce vehicle traffic substantially.
4.1 Preferred Alternative Daily Traffic Volumes
For the Preferred alternative, daily traffic volume refinement calculations are
included as Appendix "F". As described in the methodology section, growth
adjustment volumes were developed for the Currently Adopted General Plan
scenario that ensured that no negative growth occurred within the study area.
The same adjustments have then been applied to this scenario. A small number
of locations (7 total) experience slight volume decreases, with the largest
decrease compared to existing 2002 conditions occurring on Magnesia Falls
Drive between Portola Avenue and Deep Canyon Road (approximately -500
vehicles per day). Exhibit 4-A shows the resulting daily traffic volume forecasts.
Roadways carrying in excess of 50,000 vpd include:
• Washington Street from Avenue 38 to Country Club Drive
• SR-111 northwest of Fred Waring Drive

• SR-111 east of San Luis Rey Avenue
• Bob Hope Drive North of the 1-10 Freeway
• Monterey Avenue south of the 1-10 Freeway
• Cook Street from the 1-10 Freeway to Frank Sinatra Drive
• Fred Waring Drive from Cook Street to Eldorado Drive
4.2 Preferred Alternative Daily Level of Service
Volume/Capacity (V/C) ratios for the Preferred Scenario are shown on Exhibit 4-
B. Table 4-2 contains the supporting calculations. Table 4-3 lists roadways with
forecast volume exceeding capacity (LOS "F"), Table 4-4 presents locations
where the V/C ratio reflects LOS "E", and Table 4-5 shows segments with LOS
"D". As shown on the tables, 23 roadway segments have volume in excess of
capacity (as do all study area freeway segments), 12 segments have LOS "E"
operations, and 13 segments experience LOS "D" conditions.
4.3 Preferred Alternative Peak Hour Analysis
Peak hour intersection analysis has been performed for the Preferred Scenario
only. Future forecast intersection volumes are shown on Exhibits 4-C through 4-
H. Forecast intersection volumes have been extracted from the model and
reviewed for reasonableness and adjusted as necessary. Appendix "G" contains
the final refined peak hour volume forecast review.
One intersection where the current forecasts differ notably from recently
published forecasts is Dinah Shore Drive at Monterey Avenue. The eastbound
left turns at this location are substantially lower in both the AM and PM peak
hours of traffic. This difference is caused by a number of factors, including the
improvements at the Bob Hope Drive / 1-10 interchange (not previously included
in the model), increased congestion on the 1-10 Freeway itself (as reflected in the
regional model data that has been incorporated into the subarea model), and

additional congestion at the Monterey Avenue interchange due to development
that is now anticipated to occur north of the 1-10 Freeway.
Traffic Signal warrant analysis has been performed at intersection analysis
locations that do not have existing traffic signals. Appendix "H" contains the
results of this analysis. Traffic signals are warranted at all intersection analysis
locations for future buildout conditions. Intersection analysis has been performed
using the planned lane configurations previously described in Chapter 2.
Appendix "I" contains the results of this analysis. Intersection analysis for
intersection improvements to attain LOS "D" is included as Appendix "J°.
Appendix "K" contains worksheets for LOS "C" or better improvements analysis.
Table 4-6 summarizes intersection analysis for all intersections, including with
improvements necessary to achieve LOS "C" or LOS "D". Table 4-7 lists the
intersection improvements necessary to reach acceptable levels of service
(either LOS "C" or LOS "D") separately.
The information for the varying levels of service has been prepared based on
direction received from the General Plan Advisory Committee.
Based on the results of the peak hour analysis, the following intersections will
require through lanes that exceed the current (and recommended) General Plan
cross-section if the City wishes to retain LOS "C" as the standard at these
locations:
• Monterey Avenue (NS) at Dinah Shore Drive (EW) — Dinah Shore Drive
will require 3 through lanes in each direction instead of 2 through lanes
(Dinah Shore Drive is already designated as a 6 lane divided road west of
Monterey Avenue, so this change would specifically affect Dinah Shore
Drive east of Monterey Avenue.

Cook Street (NS) at Fred Waring Drive (EW) — Fred Waring Drive will
require a 4th westbound through lane at this location.
• Washington Street (NS) at the 1-10 Freeway Eastbound Ramps —
Washington Street will require a 4'h northbound through lane (that will also
be shared with right turning vehicles).
• Washington Street (NS) at Country Club Drive (EW) - Washington Street
will require a 4th southbound through lane at this location.
An alternative to physical improvements at the two Washington Street locations
may be to consider reducing the intensity of development in the vicinity of the
Washington Street / 1-10 Freeway interchange, particularly north of the 1-10
Freeway.
4-27
5.0 LESS INTENSE ALTERNATIVE
Trip generation for the Less Intense alternative is shown on Table 5-1. The Less
Intense alternative generates fewer trips than the Preferred scenario, but still increases
trip generation over the Currently Adopted General Plan. The home based productions
north of 1-10 increase substantially over the Currently Adopted General Plan scenario
(but not as much as the Preferred scenario). In the south district, social/recreation and
shopping/personal business attractions, and non-home based trips all increase greatly
over Currently Adopted General Plan conditions (almost as much as the Preferred
scenario). The ratio of productions to attractions is slightly less (showing greater
imbalance) than for the Preferred scenario.
5.1 Less Intense Alternative Daily Traffic Volumes
Daily traffic volume refinement calculations for the Less Intense scenario are
included in Appendix "U. As described previously, growth adjustment volumes
were developed for the Currently Adopted General Plan scenario that ensured
that no negative growth occurred within the study area. The same adjustments
have then been applied to this scenario. A small number of locations (6 total)
experience slight volume decreases, with the largest decrease compared to
existing 2002 conditions occurring on Magnesia Falls Drive between Portola
Avenue and Deep Canyon Road (approximately -400 vehicles per day). The
resulting daily volume forecasts are shown on Exhibit 5-A. Study area roadways
carrying volumes greater than 50,000 are:
• Washington Street from Avenue 38 to Country Club Drive
• SR-111 east of San Luis Rey Avenue
• SR-111 northwest of Fred Waring Drive
• Bob Hope Drive north of the 1-10 Freeway
• Monterey Avenue south of the 1-10 Freeway

0 MORE INTENSE ALTERNATIVE
The More Intense scenario has ten percent (10%) more trip generation than the
Currently Adopted General Plan scenario. More Intense alternative trip generation is
included as Table 6-1. Trip generation increases most substantially in the north district.
The mid district includes more housing (a low trip generator) than any other alternative,
which causes a decrease in trip generation for the mid district. The More scenario has
the best balance of citywide productions and attractions (but still imports almost 70,000
attractions per day).
I
6.1 More Intense Alternative Daily Traffic Volumes
Daily traffic volumes throughout the study area for the More Intense scenario are
shown on Exhibit 6-A. As described previously, growth adjustment volumes were
developed for the Currently Adopted General Plan scenario that ensured that no
negative growth occurred within the study area. The same adjustments have
then been applied to this scenario. A small number of locations (4 total)
experience slight volume decreases, with the largest decrease compared to
existing 2002 conditions occurring on Magnesia Falls Drive between Portola
Avenue and Deep Canyon Road (approximately -400 vehicles per day).
Supporting calculations are included in Appendix "K". Roadways carry volumes
greater than 50,000 vpd as follows:
• Washington Street from Avenue 38 to Country Club Drive
• SR-111 east of San Luis Rey Avenue
• SR-111 northwest of Fred Waring Drive
• Bob Hope Drive north of the 1-10 Freeway
• Monterey Avenue south of the 1-10 Freeway
• Cook Street from the 1-10 Freeway to Frank Sinatra Drive
• Fred Waring Drive from Cook Street to Eldorado Drive

Volume/capacity ratios for the More Intense scenario are shown on Exhibit 6-13.
Table 6-2 shows more detailed calculations. Roadway segments with volume
greater than capacity are summarized in Table 6-3. Table 6-3 lists 24 roadway
segments with volume in excess of capacity. All study area freeway segments
also have volume greater than capacity. Tables 6-4 and 6-5 show similar
summaries for LOS "E" and LOS "D" segments, respectively. There are 15
t roadway segments listed in Table 6-4 (LOS "E") and 12 roadway segments listed
in Table 6-5.

7.0 SPECIAL ISSUES
In the course of the Palm Desert General Plan update traffic study preparation, several
special issues have been identified that required further evaluation. Analysis has been
performed without the proposed 1-10 Freeway interchange at Portola Avenue. Removal
of the planned eastbound free right turn lane from Gerald Ford Drive onto Cook Street
has also been reviewed.
7.1 Portola Interchange Evaluation
The Preferred scenario has been analyzed without the proposed 1-10 Freeway
interchange at Portola Avenue. Daily model volume forecasts have been refined
using the same methodology as in other scenarios. Daily volume refinements
are included as Appendix "N". Exhibit 7-A contains the resulting refined daily
forecast volumes. A comparison of forecast volumes with and without the
proposed interchange is included as Appendix "O". As shown in Appendix "O",
parallel roadways in the vicinity of the 1-10 Freeway carry much more traffic
without the interchange than with the interchange. Monterey Avenue south of the
1-10 Freeway will carry in excess of 83,000 vehicles per day, while Cook Street
south of the 1-10 Freeway will carry in excess of 76,000 vehicles per day.
Volume/capacity (V/C) analysis has been performed and is included in Table 7-1.
Exhibit 7-B graphically shows the results of this analysis. Table 7-2 compares
the V/C ratios with and without the 1-10 Freeway interchange at Portola Avenue.
Monterey Avenue and Cook Street both experience higher V/C ratios and worse
service levels without the interchange at Portola Avenue.
Detailed peak hour analysis of this issue was performed for the Desert Gateway
Traffic Impact Analysis (Urban Crossroads, Inc., October 18, 2002). Conclusions
from the Desert Gateway illustrate the need for a new interchange of the 1-10
Freeway at Portola Avenue. Specific results will vary, as the model has recently

Cook Street (NS) at:

For Post 2020 with (Desert Gateway) project (Alternative 1 — Preferred) traffic
conditions with the Portola Avenue Overcrossing/Interchange, most study area
intersections are projected to operate at Level of Service "C" or better during the
peak hours with the at-grade improvements listed in Table 7-3, except for the
intersection of Monterey Avenue at Dinah Shore Drive, where the best Level of
Service (LOS) that can be attained with a standard at-grade intersection is LOS
"D". Constructing an urban interchange (grade separated northbound and
southbound through movements) would provide LOS "C" traffic operations at this
location; or the mitigation may include maximum at-grade improvements (e.g. triple
left turn lanes and free-right turn lanes) without pedestrian minimum green time for
all east-west pedestrians. Although four through lanes were tested, the increased
pedestrian crossing time required still results in LOS "D" or worse traffic
operations at this location. Post 2020 with project (Alternative 1 — Preferred) with
the Portola Avenue Overcrossing/Interchange HCM calculation worksheets are
provided in Appendix "P".

Post 2020 intersection levels of service for the existing network with the proposed
project (Alternative 1 — Preferred) without the Portola Avenue
Overcrossing/Interchange are shown in Table 7-4. Table 7-4 shows HCM
calculations based on the geometrics at the study area intersections without and
with improvements. Post 2020 with project (Alternative 1 — Preferred) without the
Portola Avenue Overcrossing/Interchange AM and PM peak hour intersection
turning movement volumes are shown on Exhibits 7-G and 7-H, respectively.
For Post 2020 with project (Alternative 1 — Preferred) traffic conditions without the

lanes and free-right turn lanes) without pedestrian minimum green time. Post 2020

Overcrossing/Interchange HCM calculation worksheets are provided in Appendix
7.2 Free Right Turn Lane Review
The need for the eastbound free right turn lane planned from Gerald Ford Drive
eastbound onto Cook Street southbound has been reviewed. Intersection
analysis to achieve Level of Service "C" at the intersection was presented in
Chapter 4. Alternative intersection analysis has been evaluated with the same
improvements as previously, with the eastbound right turn lane having an overlap
phase (and not free movement capabilities). The results of this analysis are
included as Appendix "R". As shown in Appendix "R", LOS "C" can be attained
with the same lane configurations, without the free right turn lane, but including
an eastbound right turn overlap phase (arrow).

8.0 ACCOMMODATIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE TRAVEL MODES
The City of Palm Desert has facilities for bus, bike, golf cart, and pedestrian traffic to
access the City and surrounding areas. Rail and Air terminals provide access to the
City by long distance travelers. The currently adopted plans for these alternative travel
modes have been evaluated in terms of the Circulation Plan, and recommendations are
made to make these alternative modes even more desirable.
Over the past decade, the City of Palm Desert has made a concerted effort to expand
the options for pedestrians, bicyclists, and golf cart users as alternatives to the
automobile. In addition to expanding the network of sidewalks and on-street bicycle and
golf cart paths, the City has encouraged the development of integrated paths for non-
motorized and/or golf cart use within planned developments. Capacity is generally not
an issue for these alternative transportation systems. The primary determinants for
these systems are therefore providing maximum feasible accessibility and reasonable
levels of connectivity.
8.1 Golf Cart Plan
Exhibit 8-A contains the current Golf Cart Plan throughout the City of Palm
Desert. Golf carts are prohibited on SR-111, Fred Waring Drive, Monterey
Avenue, and Washington Street. While not all other study area roadways are
currently designated as golf cart routes, most facilities on the Circulation Plan are
expected to (at some point) have golf cart access.
8.2 Bikeways
The proposed Bikeway system for the City of Palm Desert is included as Exhibit
8-B. Bike facilities are proposed to provide access for bicyclists throughout the
City. Consistent with the currently adopted General Plan Circulation Element, it

is recommended that bike facilities be provided on all study area roadways on
some high speed Arterial Streets where safety would be an issue.
8.3 Bus Routes
Current bus routes are shown on Exhibit 8-C. The SunDial service provides low
cost public transportation for ADA certified riders. The City operates the Shopper
Hopper, a free service to carry shoppers throughout the commercial areas
around SR-111 and El Paseo in the east part of the City.
The SunLink system begins in the City of Palm Desert on Town Center Way. It
travels north to Fred Waring Drive, then East to Monterey Avenue, north to
Ramon Road, and east to exit the City. SunLink takes riders to Western
Riverside County Metrolink stations where they can transfer to other travel
modes.
8.4 Pedestrian Access
While pedestrian movements are prohibited for some study area intersections in
the Buildout condition, pedestrian access is still available throughout the City. At
intersections with limited pedestrian crossings, only one leg does not allow
pedestrian crossing, therefore, pedestrians are still able to get across all streets.
