  3. University Drive ConnectionWorking Group • Advisory/Oversight (Policy) Group • Core Working Group • Technical Working Group 3

  4. Schedule (Completed) • 01/11/2008: Joint MPO Meeting • 01/23/2008: Working Group Core Team Meeting I • 02/07/2008: Technical Working Group Meeting I 4

  5. Upcoming Schedule • 02/14/08: Working Group Core Team Meeting II • Approve Modeling Assumptions • Conduct Model Runs • Prepare Model Run Results • 03/06/08: Technical Working Group Meeting II • Review Model Run Results • Assess Mitigation Needs • 03/13/08: Working Group Core Team Meeting III • April 20008: Present findings to the MPOs 5

  6. Study Area

  7. Alternatives to be analyzed • Shown on the Model Alternative Table • 5 University Drive alternatives (1a ~ 1e) • 3 Coral Ridge Drive alternatives(2a ~ 2c) • 4 SR-7 alternatives (3a ~ 3d) • 2 Lyons Road alternatives(4a & 4b) • 2 Sawgrass Expressway alternatives (5a & 5b)* • 1 FP&L ROW alternatives (6a)* • Total: 17 Network alternatives * for “investigation” only at this time 7

  8. Additional Model Runs (1/2) • For comparison, Alternative 1a will be run “With”and “Without”additional developments of “Wedge” and “Expanded Casino” • The “With” additional development Person Trip Table of Alternative 1a will be the default “Locked” Trip Table for all other alternative model runs • The “Without”: 1 DU/10 Acre for Wedge Area, No Casino expansion trips (but with approved additional hotel/retail) 8

  9. Additional Model Runs (2/2) • Alternative 1d will be run with and without the “Locked” trip table for comparison 9

  10. Discussion and Concurrence

  11. Proposed Zone Splits 11

  12. Wedge Boundary 12

  13. Zonal Data: “With” and “Without” Wedge New Vehicle Trips “With” Intensified Wedge Development LRTP Zonal Data: “Without” Wedge Development 13

  14. Zonal Data:Casino TAZ Zonal Data Broward TAZ #65 (SERPM TAZ 1665) 14

  15. Additional Network Update (1a)County Line Road East Terminus/connection 15

  16. Additional Network Update (1b)County Line Road East Terminus/Connection to Hillsboro Blvd. 16

  17. Additional Network Update (2) • New Turnpike Interchange • Turnpike is studying: • Full Interchange at Clint Moore Road • Partial Interchanges: to/from north at Yamato Road and to/from south at Palmetto Park Road • Full interchange at Palmetto Park Road • What should be coded onto the network? • Should the new interchange be coded onto all the alternatives? Or, a new alternative for comparison? 17

  18. Interchanges on Turnpike SERPM 6.02 Proposed Clint Moore Rd Yamato Rd S.R. 7 I-95 Glades Rd S.R. 7 I-95 Palmetto Park Rd Lox Rd SW 18th St Hillsboro Blvd Sawgrass Exwy Proposed partial interchange at Yamato Rd / Palmetto Park Rd Existing interchange 18 Future interchange in existing SERPM model

  19. Proposed Posted Speeds forNew Links on each Alternative • Typical • 8LD: 50 MPH (SR-7) • 6LD: 45 MPH ~ 50 MPH (SR-7) • 4LD: 40 MPH ~ 45 MPH • 2L: 30 MPH • See the example on the following slide and separate Attachment for specifics 19

  20. Model Application • Using SERPM v6.02 with 2030 analysis year • “Locking” the person trip table • Using the person trip table input to mode choice from the baseline alternative (1a) for all other alternatives • Entire model is run for baseline alternative • Only necessary components are run for all other alternatives (except additional runs for Alternative 1D)

  21. Other Assumptions • The price of gasoline is broadly included in the auto operating cost, which is computed on a cost per mile basis • The model assumes that the auto operating cost does not increase over and above the inflation rate through 2030 • Transit fares have been modified slightly reflect changes to existing fare structures, except for PalmTran-to-BCT transfers that assume a unified fare

  22. Modeling Transit • Travel forecasting models are sensitive mainly to Operatingand Service characteristics: • Provider : Routing, Stops, Speed, Service frequency, and Fare Structure • Users : travel time, wait time, out-of-pocket cost, and transfers • Other characteristics, such as perceived safety, station/stop amenities and reliability are accounted for in the model, but it is not directly sensitive to them • E.g., improving “perceived safety” will not increase ridership

  23. Transit Speed Assumptions • All transit service will be mixed-flow unless operating in exclusive transit lanes • Transit speeds in mixed-flow lanes are a function of the auto speed • Transit speeds in exclusive transit lanes are computed using average speeds for local service and equations in motion with an allowance for signal pre-emption for limited-stop services

  24. Transit Fares • Propose to adjust SERPM 2030 fares so that they reflect current values • BCT one-way fare from $1.00 to $1.50 • BCT pass from $2.50 to $2.36 • PalmTran one-way fare from $1.25 to $1.50 • PalmTran pass from $3.00 to $3.50 • Assume no fare difference between services on exclusive ROW and in mixed-flow

  25. Transit Network Assumptions • Based on the 2030 LRTP transit networks • Modifications for cross county service integration: • Coordinate transit service between northern Broward and southern Palm Beach Counties • Provide service in “Wedge” area

  26. Transit Network Assumptions • Using the modified transit network for all alternatives except: • Alt 1e – apply exclusive transit lanes on University Drive between County Line Road and Palmetto Park Road • Alts 3c, 3d – apply exclusive transit lanes on SR-7 from Golden Glades to Glades Road and on Glades Road from SR7 to Florida Atlantic University • Alt 4b – apply exclusive transit lanes along Lyons Road between Commercial Blvd and Glades Road and along Glades Road from SR-7 to Florida Atlantic University

  27. Transit Network Configurations

  28. Transit Service in Year 2000 Glades Rd Palmetto Park Rd Lox Rd Florida’s Turnpike Lyons Rd S.R. 7 University Dr Coral Ridge Dr Sawgrass Expy Sample Rd

  29. “Existing” SERPM 2030 LRTP Transit Service Glades Rd #18 and #441 “Breeze” terminate near the County Line Rd Palmetto Park Rd Florida’s Turnpike County Line Rd Lox Rd Lyons Rd S.R. 7 University Dr #2 and Univ. Dr “Breeze” terminate at Sample Rd Sawgrass Expy Coral Ridge Dr Sample Rd

  30. Proposed Baseline Transit Service Glades Rd Proposed park and ride lot #2 and Univ. Dr .“Breeze” now serves to Boca Town Center Palmetto Park Rd Florida’s Turnpike #18 and #441 “Breeze” now serve FAU Lyons Rd Lox Rd S.R. 7 County Line Rd University Dr #88 now serves S.R.7 & Glades Rd parking lot Sawgrass Expy Sample Rd

  31. Transit Configuration B(University Dr. & Coral Ridge Dr. not extended) Glades Rd Without University Dr. Connection Palmetto Park Rd Florida’s Turnpike County Line Rd Lox Rd #2, Univ. Dr. “Breeze” & #88 moved onto Holmberg Rd. Lyons Rd S.R. 7 University Dr Coral Ridge Dr Sawgrass Expy Sample Rd

  32. Transit Configuration C(Coral Ridge Dr Extension) Glades Rd Coral Ridge Dr. Extension Palmetto Park Rd #2, Univ. Dr. “Breeze” & #88 moved onto Coral Ridge Extension Florida’s Turnpike County Line Rd Lox Rd Lyons Rd S.R. 7 University Dr Coral Ridge Dr Sawgrass Expy Sample Rd

  33. Transit Service Frequency

  34. Proposed Speeds (1) • Congested Time on S.R. - 7 (Sample Rd. to Glades Rd.) • Proposed speeds partially based on TCRP 26a and 26b reports All times represent 2030 congested condition 35

  35. Proposed Speeds (2) • Congested Speeds on S.R.- 7 (Sample Rd. to Glades Rd.) • Proposed speeds partially based on TCRP 26a and 26b Reports All speeds represent 2030 congested condition 36

  36. Example of Model OutputDifference in Daily Traffic Volume (1c vs. 1a) Volume decrease Volume increase Yamato Rd Glades Rd Palmetto Park Rd Florida’s Turnpike Lox Rd Powerline Rd County Line Rd University Dr Lyons Rd I-95 S.R. 7 Coral Ridge Dr Sawgrass Expy Sample Rd

  37. Alternatives Evaluation andPerformance Measures • Systems Information within the study area • System and Lane Miles • System VMT and VHT • S (Transit route miles, runs) • LOS • Link Volumes • Person throughput • Transit Riderships • Additional Lane Miles Needed for each Alternative • Other? 38

  38. Wrap Up • Future Activities • Next Meetings 39
