Downtown Traffic Signal Retiming
City of Waterloo
September 26, 2015
NARRATIVE A
Existing Conditions
The City of Waterloo downtown traffic signal system was last re -timed in 1999. Since the last re -timing
project was completed, street function and land uses have changed significantly. Some streets have
been converted from one-way to two-way operation. Developing new traffic signal timing plans for the
downtown system will better accommodate the current traffic patterns being experienced throughout
downtown. Traffic signal timing can be one of the most efficient means of reducing emissions. The
downtown traffic signal system is bounded by West 6th Street, Washington Street, MuIlan Avenue, and
Walnut Street.
Proposed Improvements
During peak hours, the downtown street system can experience significant congestion due to the volume
of traffic and the existing capacity of the corridors. The proposed project will be the first comprehensive
review of the traffic signal timing plans for the downtown system since 1999. Per the Institute of
Transportation Engineers, studies have shown that traffic signal timing improvements can result in
reduced travel times by 8 to 25%1.
The existing travel times, speeds, and travel profiles of the corridors have been measured using PC -
Travel software with GPS to determine existing conditions and will be measured again after the
improvements are in place to document the increased efficiency provided by the adaptive signal systems.
The average corridor speeds were used to help develop the Emission Reduction Calculations.
This project will include updated traffic signal timings for the base timing plans, clearance intervals,
coordination plans, and pedestrian timing plans. The engineering for the project will include data
collection, traffic modeling to determine improvements to the timings and plans, and assistance to the City
of Waterloo during implementation of the new information.
The primary goal of the project is to increase the efficiency of travel along the downtown Waterloo
corridors including reduced travel times, reductions in idle time and stops at intersections, and the
associated reduction of vehicle emissions. The secondary goal of the project is collect and study bicycle
and pedestrian traffic. If certain improvements are found to help lead to more non -motorized use, then
recommendations will be made for future projects. Increased share of pedestrian and bicycle traffic can
decrease mobile source pollution.
Financing
The improvement plan will cost approximately $150,000 to implement. The City of Waterloo is requesting
a total of $120,000 (80%) in Iowa's Clean Air Attainment Program (ICAAP) funds. The City will provide
the remaining project costs as the local match. An itemized breakdown is provided in Section C.
Long -Range Transportation Plan
The proposed improvements are consistent with the City's Comprehensive Plan and Iowa Northland
Regional Council of Governments' (INRCOG) Long Range Transportation Plan.

A brief outline of the work activities to be included as part of the project is as follows:
1. Traffic Counts — Utilize existing count data from City and Iowa DOT and supplement with new
counts as needed to identify peak traffic movements and daily traffic patterns.
2. Non -motorized Traffic — Collect data on pedestrian and bicycle traffic.
3. Functional Geometric Review — Review and verify auxiliary lane lengths, posted speeds, and
observed travel speeds.
4. Existing Signal Timings — Document and gather all existing signal timing data.
5. Timing Models — Use motorized and non -motorized traffic data, functional geometric data, and
existing signal timing plans to create base models for each traffic period. Develop optimized
timing plans which include phasing splits, cycle lengths, and offsets for each signalized
intersection.
6. Recommend Signal/geometric changes to accommodate pedestrian and bicyclist.
7. Timing Plan Implementation — Process timing model data, perform observation, and adjust
timings as needed based on field observations and traffic flow.
8. Travel Time Studies — Perform post improvement travel time studies to document improved travel
speeds and reduced stops/idling. Develop post summation to demonstrate benefits of project for
City use and submission to Iowa DOT ICAAP staff to document project benefits.

CALCULATIONS FOR VEHICLE EMISSIONS REDUCTIONS G
The following calculations represent the specific emission reductions expected as a result of traffic signal
retiming in downtown Waterloo.
Traffic volumes used in the emission reduction calculations were existing 2009 traffic volume counts from
the Iowa Department of Transportation Traffic Flow Maps. Where peak hour turning movement counts
were not available an 8.5% peak hour of ADT value was assumed as this value aligns with locations
where peak hour turning movement counts were available.
Average speed data was obtained from travel time studies conducted by Shive-Hattery on behalf of the
City of Waterloo E_or hepar oce _of_th_e e calculations PC -Travel software with GPS was used to
determine existing conditions. For the purpose of these calculations it was assumed that the average
speed in the corridors would increase by approximately 15% based on previous studies of similar signal
optimization type projects. The projected average speed was capped at the posted speed limit or existing
travel speed if exceeding posted speed. According to the Institute of Transportation Engineers, traffic
signal improvements such as retiming typically reduce travel time between 8 to 25 percent'
Emission factors in grams/mile for hydrocarbons volatile organic compounds (VOC(HCs)), carbon
monoxide (CO), and Nitrogen Oxide (NO,) were developed from the EPA's MOBILE 6.2 air quality model.
The Iowa Department of Transportation provided outputs of the model for operating speeds along city
arterials.

Required Documentation and Narrative Information
The following documents and narratives must be attached to this application. In the upper right-hand corner of each
document or narrative write the corresponding letter shown below.
® A. A NARRATIVE assessing existing congestion/air quality conditions, outlining the concept of the proposed
project, and providing adequate project justification. How will this project reduce congestion, reduce travel or
single occupant vehicle usage, and/or improve air quality? Which transportation -related pollutant(s) are
being addressed: carbon monoxide, ozone, or PM?
B. A DETAILED MAP identifying the location of the project and clearly differentiating the subject project from
any past or future project phases.
® C. An ITEMIZED BREAKDOWN of the total project costs. This documentation does not need to be a detailed,
line -item type of estimate. However, it must accomplish two objectives: first, it must show the method by
which the cost estimate was prepared; and second it must enable a reviewer to determine if the cost
estimate is reasonable. The manner in which these objectives are achieved may vary widely depending on
the type, scope and complexity of the project. Absent a fully itemized list of costs, some general guidelines
for possible methods of estimating each type of project cost are provided on Attachment A.
® D. A TIME SCHEDULE for the total project development.
E. An OFFICIAL CERTIFICATION from the applicant's governing body (authority) that it shall:
(1) commit the necessary local matching funding for project implementation and
(2) upon project completion, be responsible for adequately maintaining and operating the project for
public use during the project's useful life.
® F. AN ADOPTED FORMAL RESOLUTION from the appropriate MPO or RPA declaring the sponsor's
proposed project or program conforms to the MPO's or RPA's regional transportation planning process. (For
MPOs, the project or program must be identified in the fiscally -constrained transportation plan and, if
applicable, the congestion management plan in TMAs.)
• G. CALCULATIONS for vehicle emission reductions and total project cost effectiveness for the targeted
pollutants. Project applicant must show through a quantitative analysis how many kilograms of pollutant will
be reduced (CO, VOC, NOx, and, if applicable, PM). Project sponsor must calculate the cost effectiveness
of the project by: Dividing the total annualized project cost by the number of kilograms per year of pollutant
reduced ($ per kg). Applicant must also show all assumptions and source of data used to calculate the
estimates. The applicant must use the most current vehicle emission factors developed by the Iowa DNR
and consistent with EPA's MOBILE 6.2 air quality model. These emission factors are periodically updated
and may be obtained from the Iowa DOTS ICAAP website at:
http://www.iowadot.gov/systems planning/icaap.htm.
