Application of New Pedestrian Level of Service Measures SACOG Roseville Case Study PPM Results Using the PPM model, the segments in the Roseville case study area scored an average of 13.6 points, for an overall study area average of LOS C. One segment scored LOS A, eight segments scored LOS B, nine segments scored LOS C, and two scored LOS E. See Exhibits N and O for a complete list and map of study area segments and their corresponding LOS scores. Appendix E contains detailed scoring tables for each segment in the study area. Riverside Ave. from 3 rd St. to Bonita St. is the only segment to score LOS A. This LOS was achieved through a combination of continuous pedestrian facilities, pedestrian amenities, wide sidewalks, few driveway conflicts, low‐speed traffic, marked crossings, and curb cuts. The segments that scored LOS B are all low‐speed streets with continuous, well‐maintained pedestrian facilities/sidewalks that have pedestrian amenities (benches, lighting, shade trees) and few driveway conflicts. These segments also have narrow cross streets, and some have marked crosswalks, curb cuts, and buffers. These segments failed to reach LOS A because some segments have conflicts with right turning vehicles, some lack marked crosswalks, curb cuts, buffers, and pedestrian amenities, and some do not have sidewalks wider than five feet. The segments that scored LOS C are all low‐speed streets with continuous pedestrian facilities that are buffered from traffic. However, these segments also have narrower sidewalks, may lack pedestrian amenities, do not have TDM policies in place, and may have minor sidewalk maintenance issues. Many of these segments also lack marked crosswalks and curb cuts. The segments that scored LOS E have discontinuous or no pedestrian facility/sidewalk. Since many of the other point categories depend on having a pedestrian facility/sidewalk, segments that have a discontinuous or nonexistent facility cannot score higher than LOS D, even if they score the maximum points in other categories. For example, a segment cannot score points for having a buffer if no pedestrian facility exists to need buffering. Roseville Case Study MMLOS Results After collecting data and analyzing the case study area, staff was unable to apply the MMLOS model to this area, as only one segment contains a signalized intersection. It was determined that the level of effort to collect and analyze data for another case study area was beyond the scope of this project. Issue Date: June 2011 26
