    Intersection Level of Service

    Intersection capacity is presented in terms of Level of Service (LOS), which is defined in terms of
    traffic delay at the intersection. LOS ranges from A to F. LOS A represents the best intersection
    operation, with little delay for each vehicle using the intersection. LOS F represents the worst
    intersection operation with excessive delay.

    Other Potential Solutions Considered

    • Traffic Signal – Rejected because volume warrants are


    not met

    • Interchange - Rejected due to costs, likely in the $10 –


    20M range
    • Others?

    Next Steps

    • Complete full Intersection Control Evaluation (ICE) for


    identified solutions
    o Estimated completion in December 2020

    • Review ICE results with this group


    o January 2021

    • Finalize ICE study


    o February 2021

    • Share results with general public
