Project Name: US 20/Cooley Road Intersection Improvement Review
This memorandum provides a summary of the US 20/Cooley Road intersection improvement project purpose and need, summarizes previous study findings as they relate to the US 20 corridor, provides traffic volume forecasts based on the revised 2040 modeling that includes the Urban Growth Boundary (UGB) expansion, and addresses roundabout configuration and phasing options. This memorandum builds on the Bend North Area Final Environmental Impact Study, the Bend North Area Transportation Study, and the City’s Urban Growth Boundary Amendment process.
PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
Several planning efforts have been undertaken within the northern portion of the City of Bend surrounding the US 20 and US 97 corridors over the past decade to retroactively address area development pressure and capacity constraints on the State Highway system. These efforts have primarily been related to US 97 as the primary transportation route within Central Oregon. With the City’s recent expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary and inclusion of additional developable lands surrounding the US 20 corridor, the City and ODOT seek to develop a plan for the rural to urban transition along the US 20 corridor that will improve safety, accessibility, and operations. This plan is being undertaken to help address development pressure, and is being prepared in part through public-private funding partnerships. These partnerships recognize the magnitude of the overall area transportation needs.
The specific purpose of improvements at the US 20/Cooley Road intersection is to provide travel and access options to the “Golden Triangle” area formed by US 97, US 20, and Cooley Road; to delineate the urban transition; and to remove transportation barriers to support economic growth. Without improvements at US 20/Cooley Road the intersection will continue to experience high delays for the stop-controlled approaches, and safety would be expected to continue to degrade. Improving the intersection is expected to help alleviate pressure on the US 97 corridor by providing additional access options to the urbanizing area from US 20.
RELEVANT PLANS AND POLICIES
Several planning efforts have identified key transportation issues in the area related to congestion, continuity of the highway routes, future development plans, and highway improvement and funding needs, largely related to safety and operational issues. These plans have also accounted for efforts to rezone the Juniper Ridge lands (originally designated for industrial development) to mixed-employment zoning and to expand the City’s UGB. A summary of relevant plans is provided below.

BEND URBAN GROWTH BOUNDARY AMENDMENT
The City of Bend recently received approval for its proposed Urban Growth Boundary expansion that was initially submitted to the DLCD in 2007 but subject to a remand. The revised UGB boundaries were significantly reduced from the original proposal to include 2,380 acres of new land. Within the US 20 corridor area expansion lands included the OB Riley Area and the North Triangle Area, with plans for each area including a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial uses. Figure 1 illustrates the location of the expansion lands, and Table 1 summarizes the revised zoning designations within these areas.
Table 1. UGB Amendment Zoning Designations
Zoning Designation North Triangle OB Riley Area
Commercial 40 acres 47 acres
Residential 86 acres 28 acres
Industrial 22 acres 41 acres
Mixed-Use 26 acres 21 acres
Figure 2 illustrates the current City of Bend Comprehensive Plan designations for the study area. This shows the additional General Commercial lands along the US 20 and Cooley Road corridors that transition to mixed-use employment and then to residential extending farther from the highway corridor.

Transportation analysis completed as part of the UGB process provided a comparative analysis between various growth scenarios. The primary finding of the transportation analysis was that internal densification provided the lowest overall vehicle miles travelled in comparison to external UGB expansion, and the primary roadway experiencing a difference in travel demands was the US 20 corridor.

operational analysis will be provided to further understand system needs as part of the City’s Transportation System Plan.
A summary of area roadway classifications and characteristics is provided as the July 2016 amendment to the City’s Transportation System Plan. This includes the improvements identified within the FEIS and new roadways to serve the UGB expansion. An illustration of these improvements is shown in Figure 3. This plan identifies Robal Road, Cooley Road, and Hunnell Road as Minor Arterials, and OB Riley Road as a Major Collector. Other than OB Riley Road, no Collector facilities are identified to provide connectivity and access within the Triangle area.

BEND NORTH AREA TRANSPORTATION STUDY
The purpose of the Bend North Area Transportation Study (BNATS) was to verify the land use assumptions within the US 97 Bend North Corridor Project FEIS and explore interim improvements within the study area. This project was completed on October 30, 2015, but was not formally adopted and was only intended to inform transportation strategies and options. This analysis provided a comprehensive review of existing safety and operational conditions throughout the study area at a more detailed level than was provided as part of the US 97 Bend North Corridor Project. The future year 2028 analysis within the BNATS study considered full build-out of the area (inclusive of several currently undeveloped parcels such as the Gumpert property, the WalMart property, Juniper Ridge, and other nearby retail lands). This effort

preceded the UGB amendment and reflected aggressive growth assumptions within Juniper Ridge based on the 2028 ODOT Travel Demand Model.
The BNATS study identified that either a traffic signal or a roundabout would be required at the US 20/Cooley Road intersection to serve area demands. This reflected a modification of the adopted FEIS which had only identified a traffic signal due to ODOT policies excluding roundabouts on the highway system that were in place at the time. Further, although the BNATS effort did not specifically include a street connectivity plan within the “Triangle” area, the lack of connectivity on the east side of the triangle was noted as a key deficiency that contributed to highway reliance for local trips. Current City connectivity policies within the City’s Development Code now require development of a grid system through block length and perimeter requirements, so BNATS did not explicitly identify the alignment of future connections on the developing western portion of the Triangle area.
ODOT MOBILITY TARGETS
ODOT performance standards were softened to “mobility targets” in 2011 in recognition of varying highway management and economic goals. These changes included the allowance of higher levels of congestion, particularly within urban areas. ODOT mobility targets for area intersections are summarized in Table 2.

US 97 BEND NORTH CORRIDOR PROJECT (FEIS)
The US 97 Bend North Corridor Project assessed needs for US 20 and US 97 throughout the “Cooley Triangle” area in response to congestion and safety needs, and accommodations for anticipated development in Juniper Ridge and other contemplated retail uses in the area. The study selected a preferred alternative (East DS2 Modified Alternative, Exhibit 2-3 of the FEIS) that was refined through various project iterations to respond to stakeholder and agency needs. This alternative was vetted through an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process that has been formally approved with a Record of Decision.
The adopted Final EIS incorporated several prior efforts:
• Juniper Ridge Traffic Study
• US 97/Cooley Road Intersection Study
• Juniper Ridge Rezone
Related to the US 20/Cooley Road intersection, the FEIS recommended that the intersection be signalized
and that the US 20 mainline include a full five-lane section. The FEIS also provided a recommended cross-
section for US 20 that included a multi-use trail system on the east side of the highway, and sidewalk
connections throughout the intersection. Figure 4 illustrates the conceptual layout of the recommended
traffic signal. This conceptual treatment was not intended to reflect the footprint of a future traffic signal,
but rather the general lane configuration based on the volume projections at the time.
TRIP97
The TRIP97 effort consisted of three efforts: developing a revised set of performance measures for US 97 to better reflect agency management goals; developing funding options to pay for needed improvements; and developing a governance structure to manage the system and prioritize improvements.
To date, the TRIP97 efforts have achieved consensus on the performance measures. These measures include mobility metrics focused on travel time, travel time reliability, and delay for side-street motorists as well as safety, emissions, highway reliance, community connectivity, and multimodal level of service. While the project was not focused on US 20 needs, the alignment of the project outcomes with Oregon Highway Plan goals provides is expected to be relevant to the US 20 system, particularly with the urban growth boundary expansion and associated management goals.

AREA PEDESTRIAN AND BICYCLE FACILITIES
The pedestrian and bicycle system is limited within the US 20/Cooley Road intersection area as it is located on the periphery of the Urban Growth Boundary within a developing area. Pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure is intermittent, with these facilities available where frontage improvements have been completed. The primary challenge with providing pedestrian and bicyclist connectivity in the area is associated with the highways that bisect the Triangle. The high speeds and volumes along the highways serve as barriers to east-west pedestrian and cyclist connectivity and also provide challenges to comfortable and convenient multimodal travel. Without a developed collector grid system in the north area of Bend, parallel routes are largely not available to serve this role.
There are several planned improvements for pedestrian and cyclist travel identified within the FEIS; including new grade-separated crossings, multi-use pathways that provide additional separation and buffering from motor vehicles, and completion of additional connections to reduce the reliance on the State system. Pedestrian facilities are provided within the retail areas, but these facilities often do not provide connectivity between retail sites. As noted within the BNATS analysis, connectivity between Lowe’s and Home Depot, and between the Target site and retail uses south of Robal Road are limited. The layout of buildings and grade differences further complicates the ability to provide these connections.
AREA TRANSIT FACILITIES
As identified within the BNATS analysis, there is a transit stop located along the JCPenney’s building south of Robal Road. This is the nearest transit stop to the site, though relocation of the transit stop within the mall area was a recommendation of BNATS. Cascades East Transit (CET) is contemplating development of a park-and-ride lot within the mall area to serve local and regional transit, though the specific location has not yet been selected. There have also been discussions of improving the regional transit service from Redmond to provide more direct service to the Triangle area without first stopping at the Hawthorne station. The current service route and schedule are provided in Figure 5.

TRAFFIC SAFETY
Detailed review of crash records was conducted as part of the BNATS effort. This included review of ODOT SPIS sites, historical crash records, intersection sight distance constraints, All Roads Transportation Safety recommendations, and the analysis of alternatives using Highway Safety Manual (HSM) predictive methods. Accordingly, this analysis relies on these prior efforts within the summaries presented below.

CRASH REVIEW
A detailed review of historical crashes and corridor safety history was prepared as part of the US 97 Bend North Corridor Project using data spanning from 2004 to 2009. Crash information within the Final EIS was revised to include 2006 through 2011 data, and was again revised within this analysis to reflect year January 2011 through December 2015 conditions. Crashes involving a motor vehicle are required to be reported when they result in $1,500 or more in property damage or any level of personal injury.
Figure 6 illustrates the annual crash frequency at the US 20/Cooley Road intersection. Further screening of the data showed that 5 of the 12 collisions occurred on Friday, and that the higher-severity turning movements and angle collision crash types comprised three-quarters of the reported crashes. Throughout the five-year period there were a total of 38 persons involved in crashes at the intersection; these included one fatality, two persons severely injured (Injury A), 23 persons with some lesser severity of injury, and an additional 12 persons involved in collisions with no injuries.
The reported fatality occurred on July 15, 2015 at 10:00 p.m. under clear but dark conditions. The collision involved three vehicles and resulted in the fatality, two serious injuries (Injury A), and five minor injuries. The collision occurred when an 83-year old driver from Redmond in a Subaru traveling westbound on Cooley Road passed the stop sign and struck a pick-up truck and a Prius traveling on US 20. The crash cause was reported as “disregard of stop sign” but is likely attributable to inattention, unfamiliarity with the roadway, and dark conditions.
In addition to the fatality there were three other crashes reported in dark conditions (33% of the total), reflective of the rural roadway and lack of illumination at the intersection. No other patterns or trends were identified based on review of the historical crash data.
CRASH RATE COMPARISON
ODOT provides statewide average crash rates at a variety of intersection configurations based on number of approaches, traffic control types, and area type (such as rural or urban). The average crash rate represents the approximate number of crashes that are “expected” at a study intersection based on trends throughout the state. Per the ODOT Analysis Procedures Manual (APM), intersections are flagged for further review when the crash rate of an intersection is close to or over the Statewide 90th percentile crash rate. This method was used as an initial screening to identify areas for further review. Table 5 summarizes annual volumes, historical crashes, and a comparison to the 90th percentile Statewide crash rates. The table also includes a summary of the fatal and severe injury (Injury “A”) crashes at each intersection as crash severity factors heavily into the ODOT SPIS ranking.

(Cited in ODOT Analysis Procedures Manual, Table 4.1)
SPIS INTERSECTIONS
The Safety Priority Index System (SPIS) is a method developed by ODOT identifying priority improvement (or analysis) locations on the State highway system based on the available crash history within the Crash Analysis and Reporting Unit database. The SPIS score is based on the three preceding years of crash data and considers crash frequency, crash rate, and crash severity. Those sites with the highest score are prioritized for investigation to identify opportunities for crash reduction. Intersections along the higher-volume US 97 corridor have consistently ranked within the SPIS, but have showed a decline in the ranking over the past five years. The US 20/Robal Road intersection has not been on the SPIS since 2012, and the US 20/Cooley Road intersection is not identified (largely due to the lack of traffic control and low Cooley Road volumes/exposure). Reported crashes within 2015 will not be reflected within the SPIS until the release of the 2016 list. Table 6 summarizes the SPIS rankings for area intersections.
![Page 13: PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED - Oregon Document Retention/11 … · 16/8/2017 · A summary of area roadway classifications and characteristics is provided as the July 2016 amendment](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050401/5f7ef030a782bf407f3552d8/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

ALL ROADS TRANSPORTATION SAFETY (ARTS)
The All Roads Transportation Safety (ARTS) is being led by ODOT as a data-driven approach to address “hot spot” intersections and systemic crash types on a region-by-region basis regardless of roadway jurisdiction. Within the State of Oregon approximately 50 percent of all Fatal and Serious Injury crashes occur on State facilities, with the remainder on local agency roads. This program is designed to allow ODOT to help support local agencies with analysis and funding. The program was allocated approximately $9 million for improvements to address priority locations and trends through 2021 within Region 4.
The ARTS program provides safety funding for “hotspot” treatments and for systemic issues. The 300% Hotspot list includes the following study area projects:
• Project 14: US 20/Old Redmond-Bend Highway Intersection. Cost: $1,071,000 to install illumination, improve warning signs, actuated beacons, median acceleration lane, and supplemental striping.
Systemic projects within the 150% list include the following:
• Centerline rumble strips along US 20 (specific locations not known), may also consider shoulder
rumble strips depending on funding.
• $215,000 in curve sign improvements along the Old Redmond-Bend Highway between Redmond
and US 20.
• $1.2 million to address roadway departure crashes along US 97 between Bend and Redmond
(specific project(s) to be finalized).
SAFETY REVIEW FINDINGS
Generally, the safety review shows that there are safety needs within the northern area of Bend. While
the priority issues are along the more developed US 97 corridor, safety issues are emerging on US 20 and
with area growth these needs are expected to increase. Safety projects are already planned within the
area to help address systemic and hotspot issues.

TRAFFIC VOLUME PROJECTIONS
This section describes the existing traffic volumes along the US 20 corridor and forecasting methods to estimate horizon year 2040 conditions. The horizon year 2040 was selected as the appropriate design year to provide 20-year design life for the planned US 20/Cooley Road improvements and a consistent horizon year with the current ODOT travel demand model. Figures 7 through 9 illustrate the seasonally adjusted existing and forecast year 2040 design hour traffic volumes; development of these traffic projections are further described within this section.

EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND OPERATIONS
Traffic counts were collected throughout the study area on October 23, 2014 to capture traffic throughout the mall area prior to the start of the holiday shopping season. Manual turning movement counts were seasonally factored to represent 30th highest design hour conditions using the methodology and same Automatic Traffic Recorder (ATR) locations previously approved for the US 97 Bend North Corridor Project.
The nearest ATR, on US 97 south of Empire Avenue, reflects some of the seasonal traffic characteristics in the Bend North Area. As shown in Figure 10, monthly average weekday volumes can fluctuate 20 to 25 percent over the course of a year, reflecting the seasonal nature of travel to and through the city. Seasonal factoring resulted in a 9 percent increase in volumes to match the peak summer month.
FORECAST TRAFFIC VOLUMES
Traffic volume forecasts were developed based on modeling data prepared by ODOT’s Transportation Planning and Analysis Unit (TPAU) using the current Redmond-Bend model. This model incorporates the additional lands incorporated through the UGB expansion, and provides development assumptions for lands that were already within the Bend UGB (such as the Gumpert and Walmart properties located along Cooley Road). Use of this travel demand model scenario reflects a reasonable build-out scenario for the overall area, and recognizes the role US 20 and US 97 jointly serve within this area.
Traffic forecasts were developed by calibrating the base year 2010 travel demand model with the year 2014 traffic counts, and by comparing these to the model changes through the year 2040 using the iterative National Cooperative Highway Research Project Report (NCHRP) 255 process. These resultant traffic volumes were manually reviewed and adjusted to account for the following:
• Minor-street left-turns onto US 20 are difficult during the peak hours due to the current side-street stop sign control; the existing traffic counts and resultant model calibration do not appropriately reflect potential intersection capacity improvements at US 20/Cooley Road. Traffic volumes were reassigned from Robal Road to balance the left-turn demands.
• A pending land use application is proposing a new Major Collector roadway between Robal Road and Cooley Road to serve the Gumpert property. This is planned to include right-in, right-out movements at its connection with US 20 enforced with a raised median. Northbound right-turns were reassigned from Cooley Road and Robal Road to reflect this new connection.
• Traffic volumes were rounded to the nearest five vehicles given the relative imprecision of these forecasting tools and balanced along the US 20 corridor where appropriate.

US 20/Cooley Road Alternatives Analysis

Traffic volumes at US 20/Cooley Road reflect an annual growth of approximately 2.2%, and a slightly higher annual growth rate of 2.4% at the US 20/Robal Road intersection.
INTERSECTION FORM COMPARISON
A comparison of intersection form was provided within the Gateway North Master Plan summarizing the tradeoffs between a traffic signal and a roundabout. This analysis showed that either intersection improvement could be sized to adequately serve forecast traffic needs. While the signalized option would likely cost less overall, a traffic signal is likely to replicate the same safety issues that are present on the US 97 corridor. In addition, with the rural to urban transition the roundabout form addresses City Comprehensive Plan policies for a gateway treatment and complies with the City’s “Roundabout First” policy.
Comparative review of predicted safety based on the Highway Safety Manual crash prediction models show that installation of a traffic signal at the US 20/Cooley Road intersection would be expected to increase severe crashes (Fatal and Injury “A”) by 54 percent, and overall crashes by 64 percent. The installation of a multi-lane roundabout would reduce severe crashes by 82 percent, and reduce the overall crashes by 44 percent. Tables 7 and 8 provide a summary of this analysis.

US 20/COOLEY ROAD INTERSECTION CONFIGURATIONS
An operational analysis was conducted at the US 20/Cooley Road intersection to determine the appropriate lane configurations to serve current and projected traffic demands, while balancing multimodal and safety considerations. This analysis was conducted both for a signalized intersection and a roundabout to understand the varying sizing needs of each treatment.
ROUNDABOUT CONCEPT
There are several different methodologies and calibration factors for roundabouts. As roundabouts have become increasingly common, drivers are more adept at finding appropriate gaps in traffic, allowing roundabouts to serve increasingly higher volumes of traffic. The ability for a driver to enter the roundabout varies based on the number of approaching and conflicting lanes, and which lane the driver is positioned in. For sizing of the US 20/Cooley Road roundabout both the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 Edition and the more recent critical headway and follow up headway factors within the Highway Capacity Manual 6th Edition were reviewed.
The ultimate sizing of the roundabout was
based on analysis of the year 2040 design
hour traffic volumes. This analysis shows
that to provide acceptable operations the
roundabout will require dual through lanes
on US 20 in both the eastbound and
westbound directions. The westbound
Cooley Road approach will require a
dedicated left-turn lane to serve the heavy
traffic volumes returning to Bend. With this
configuration (see Figure 11), each of the
approaches operate with low delays except
the westbound Cooley Road approach,
which will operate near its carrying capacity
within the peak hour and above capacity in
the peak fifteen minutes. Similar
operational results and configuration needs
were obtained with both the HCM 2010 and
HCM 6th Edition methodologies as summarized in Table 9.
As requested by the City of Bend, Table 10 was also prepared to show an alternative westbound
configuration with a right-turn bypass lane. This configuration was explored to provide a symmetrical and
smaller roundabout for improved safety, yet allow future expansion to occur more easily on the
roundabout perimeter.

The analysis shown in Table 10A shows that the dedicated westbound left-turn lane at Cooley Road is required to remain below capacity with either analysis model. With Cooley Road configured with a shared westbound left/through lane and a right-turn bypass lane the roundabout is projected to operate over capacity and with 16 to 19 vehicle queues during the peak hour.
ROUNDABOUT PHASING OPTIONS
Roundabout phasing options were reviewed to identify whether a smaller footprint could adequately serve traffic during the near- to middle-term period. Minimizing the overall roundabout size improves safety by reducing confusion, maintaining lower travel speeds, and reducing the internal conflict points. For this analysis both existing and mid-term (year 2030) conditions were reviewed.
Analysis of the roundabout using the existing seasonally adjusted design hour traffic volumes provides the operational results summarized in Table 11.
![Page 19: PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED - Oregon Document Retention/11 … · 16/8/2017 · A summary of area roadway classifications and characteristics is provided as the July 2016 amendment](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050401/5f7ef030a782bf407f3552d8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Based on the operational results, this shows that during the overall design hour the northbound approach of a single-lane roundabout will operate near or beyond its carrying capacity with the year 2014 design hour traffic volumes. This does not account for planned growth within the area or increased demands with the addition of traffic control.
Review of potential mitigation strategies identified the following:
• The near-capacity conditions on the Westbound US 20 approach cannot be mitigated with auxiliary turn lanes as nearly all the demand is through volume on the highway.
• Increasing eastbound US 20 left-turn traffic or eastbound through volumes on Cooley Road will conflict with the heavy westbound US 20 volume and quickly degrade the roundabout capacity.
In considering a multi-lane roundabout design, the location of the US 20/Cooley Road intersection is within a highway section with high truck volumes and passing lanes, and is located approximately 4,000 feet from the Westbound US 20 merge into a single lane. While this distance provides adequate time for drivers to merge, lane utilization bias may result in worse operations than those reported.
Analysis was also conducted of the overall design hour under year 2030 conditions, taking a direct average of the existing and horizon design year volumes. These traffic forecasts closely approximate projections from the Transportation Impact Analysis prepared for the Gateway North Master Plan (Gumpert Property) build-out, with similar traffic volumes on the highway and Cooley Road. Operational results are summarized in Table 12, and key findings of this analysis are summarized below:
• Based on increasing traffic volumes on the highway and Cooley Road a single-lane roundabout will be inadequate, with all but the eastbound Cooley Road approach exceeding or at capacity.
• Both analysis models show that dual through lanes will be required on US 20 Westbound, and the HCM 2010 methodology also shows the need for dual US 20 Eastbound through lanes.
• A single westbound Cooley Road approach will be adequate to serve the projected traffic demands in this scenario within the peak hour, but will operate at-capacity during the peak fifteen-minute period.

The analysis within Tables 12 and 13 shows that a single US 20 Eastbound through lane with a roundabout concept could perform marginally in 2030. The addition of dual eastbound and westbound through lanes along US 20 would provide low overall delays and queuing, and would also accommodate the 2040 horizon demands.
Roundabout Concept Design Vehicle Accommodations
An additional consideration for a signal or roundabout concept is freight accommodation. This includes preparing a design for typical highway trucks and the accommodation of over-dimensional loads, so that the intersection treatment does not serve as a barrier to economic growth opportunities along this designated freight route. The freight accommodations for a multilane roundabout are more complex than those of a single-lane design. Within the multilane design there are various levels of design for typical freight traffic; this varies from trucks that may use both travel lanes, to designing for trucks to remain within their own designated lane. Given the Freight Route classification of US 20, truck volumes, and approach speeds, the initial design of the roundabout pursued the most conservative design that will allow typical interstate trucks (WB-67) to remain within their own lane. This requires wider circulatory lanes, a larger roundabout diameter, and wider median space to accommodate the trailer tracking.
The second freight consideration is over-dimensional loads. With the long-term need for double-lanes northbound and southbound along with additional median area the design was prepared to accommodate
![Page 21: PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED - Oregon Document Retention/11 … · 16/8/2017 · A summary of area roadway classifications and characteristics is provided as the July 2016 amendment](https://reader034.vdocument.in/reader034/viewer/2022050401/5f7ef030a782bf407f3552d8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
US 20/Cooley Road Alternatives Analysis
21
a wide range of over-dimensional loads. This accommodation will be further refined within a more detailed design phase and discussions with freight industry representatives, as required by State statute. Development of over-dimensional truck accommodations will follow the selection of an intersection control type and selection of the near- and long-term lane configuration.
SIGNALIZED CONCEPT
A signalized control concept at US 20/Cooley Road was reviewed to understand the lane configuration and storage needs this treatment would provide near- and long-term. The primary benefit of a signalized concept is the ability to coordinate the signal timing with the US 20/Robal Road intersection and the consistent control treatment it would provide along US 20.
Operations analysis for a signalized concept were prepared with similar calibration parameters as the roundabout analysis (national average saturation flow rates1 and overall hour analysis) to provide a consistent comparison to the roundabout concept. This analysis identified the following configuration needs:
• Protected signal phasing on all approaches given the high US 20 speeds and dual Cooley Road westbound left-turn lanes.
• Widening US 20 to a five-lane cross-section to provide adequate through capacity and dual receiving lanes.
• Three-lane eastbound Cooley Road section to provide a dedicated eastbound left-turn lane and shared through/right-turn lane.
The operational results of the year 2040 operations are summarized in Table 14.
1 Localized ODOT policy is to apply an ideal saturation flow rate of 1,750 passenger cars per hour per lane green. Use of the higher national saturation flow rate will result in better conditions with a traffic signal than have been typically been observed outside of the Portland Metro area.

SIGNALIZED CONCEPT PHASING STRATEGIES
Similar to the roundabout concept, a separate review was conducted using the year 2030 forecast traffic volumes to identify whether a smaller footprint could meet the mid-term operational needs. The forecast year 2030 traffic volumes shown in Figure 8 were assessed with the signalized configuration to identify whether a smaller footprint could be used as a phasing strategy. This analysis identified the following configuration needs:
• A single westbound left-turn lane from Cooley Road would be adequate to serve forecast demands.
• A single US 20 Eastbound lane could provide adequate intersection operations.
The year 2030 configuration of the intersection shows results that are similar to the roundabout analysis; the existing highway cross-section can meet ODOT mobility targets, and a three-lane section along Cooley Road would also be adequate. Extensive queuing in the US 20 Eastbound direction is shown to occur in either concept without providing dual through lanes in both directions. A summary of the intersection operations is provided in Table 15.

Signalized Concept Design Vehicle Accommodations
The geometry of the US 20/Cooley Road intersection provides an approximately 20-degree skew angle, which becomes especially problematic for trucks to make a left-turn maneuver from Cooley Road without encroaching on the adjacent travel lanes. While the roundabout approaches would be designed to minimize the speed differentials through the intersection, the signalized concept would need to consider realignment of the approaches closer to perpendicular, or the performance and safety would be worse than the typical values reported herein.
Oversized vehicle design accommodations within a signalized concept could include setback stop bars to accommodate truck tracking, development of channelized islands to better accommodate the right-turns from US 20 (and separate the low-speed maneuver from the through lanes), and even use of wider shoulders to reduce over-tracking into the adjacent lanes. A conceptual layout of these treatments is provided in Figure 12.

Finally, intersection costs were also reviewed based on planning level cost estimates. These cost estimates could vary depending on the amount of right-of-way required, the presence of utilities, and the specific approach treatments or realignment selected and the resultant safety or operational benefits provided. Table 16 summarizes planning level costs for an ultimate intersection treatment that could serve the horizon-year demands.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Based on the overall review of this location, previous plans and studies, the key tradeoffs between a signalized concept and roundabout concept relate to safety. With the historical safety concerns at the signalized intersections along the US 97 corridor, and with recent fatalities on US 20 within this high-speed environment, reducing fatal and severe injury crashes remains a critical priority. The roundabout concept is expected to provide a significant reduction in higher severity crash types due to the geometry, and while the capital costs of installation are higher it will also provide a long-term gateway treatment to the City. Signalization of the intersection is projected to increase crashes and maintain the same high speeds in the area. Accordingly, a roundabout treatment is recommended.
The configuration of a future roundabout should include dual through lanes on US 20 Eastbound and US 20 Westbound. It is recommended that these be installed with the initial roundabout development given the limited lifespan of a single through lane and costs associated with future widening. The configuration of Cooley Road could allow an interim treatment to improve safety, driver understanding, and multimodal accommodations (particularly with the multi-use pathway along the east side of US 20 as identified within the FEIS).

Notes: Left-turn demands will remain high, but will be shared with
Cooley with intersection capacity improvements. Relocated 40
westbound left-turns from the intersection to Cooley from the
existing traffic counts. Also converted 100 right-turns to through
movements to reflect the planned addition of a new Major
Collector between Cooley Road and Robal Road.
Net Change: 1,907 Net Change: 1,907
Notes: Travel patterns reflect the low minor-street left-turn
volumes under stop-control. Demands will be much higher and
will balance with the Robal Road intersection. Relocating 40
westbound left-turns from Robal Road to Cooley Road within the
existing counts better reflects future travel demands. In addition,
25 through trips (from the Empire corridor) were moved to the
eastbound approach.
