Transportation Level <strong>of</strong> Service/Capacity Analysis<br />

The traffic operation modeling indicates that re-designing<br />

<strong>Bluebonnet</strong> <strong>Circle</strong> to have one lane <strong>of</strong> circulation will have<br />

minimal negative affect on traffic operations. The lane drop<br />

at Benbrook Blvd. is essential to reducing the lanes entering<br />

the circle. Public meetings indicate that citizens are willing to<br />

accept a small increase in automobile delay in exchange for a<br />

safer pedestrian and cycling environment. Business owners<br />

are also amenable to the plan because it increases parking<br />

and makes it easier to walk between businesses.<br />

Results <strong>of</strong> the traffic operations modeling are presented<br />

below.<br />

Conclusion<br />

Only one circulatory lane is necessary based on the following<br />

findings:<br />

– Safety<br />
