SUBJECT: SEDGWICK-BETHEL CORRIDOR STUDY PRELIMINARY LOS AND QUEUING FORECASTS REVISED 12/21/2017
Ms. Wooton:
The purpose of this technical memorandum is to document the preliminary travel demand forecasts and Level of
Service results generated by TSI’s analysis of the Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road corridors for the Sedgwick Road
and Bethel Road Corridor Study.
Analysis Methodology
The travel demand model used in this analysis was based upon the Port Orchard citywide planning model. Land use forecasts were based upon Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan policy with local revisions along the study corridors based on direction from City staff. External trips in the model were linked to trip forecasts generated by the SR 16 corridor model used in the WSDOT SR 16 Congestion Study.
The travel demand model is based on a 2040 year of analysis and a PM peak hour period. The model was calibrated using counts collected in January 2017 by CH2M which were also used in the SR 16 corridor model. Trip generation rates, connector loading points and shares, and link/node capacities were refined to improve calibration result for the study corridors.
Intersection Levels of Service (LOS) were calculated using Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (HCM2010) methodologies. Signalized and stop-controlled intersections were analyzed using Synchro 9 software. Roundabouts were analyzed using Sidra Intersection 7.0 software with analysis parameters consistent with Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Sidra Policy Guidance.
Transportation Improvement Scenarios
Three 2040 network improvement scenarios were considered in this preliminary analysis, as described below. Improvement assumptions for each of the scenarios are summarized in Table 1.

Baseline (2040): 2018-2023 Six-Year TIP
The 2040 Baseline scenario assumed construction of all projects identified in the Port Orchard 2018-2023 Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) and any anticipated developer-funded improvements.
Baseline improvements not identified in the 2018-2023 Six-Year TIP included a new traffic signal at Bethel & Blueberry Rd and new roundabouts at Sedgwick & Bravo Terrace and Sedgwick east of Geiger Road. The intersection of Bethel Rd & Salmonberry Rd was modeled under both roundabout and traffic signal control. Intersection control for non-TIP intersections was selected based on preliminary MUTCD warrant analyses and proximity of nearby intersections. Final selection of intersection control treatments along the study corridor should also consider right-of-way, topography, and safety.
Baseline developer-funded improvement projects were also assumed to include a new connector roadway extending from the Walmart frontage to the south to serve an anticipated big-box retail site to the east of Bethel Road. This connector roadway will access Bethel Road at the Walmart driveway signal and will access Mile Hill Dr to the north via internal access roads. The connector roadway is shown in Figure 1. All Baseline improvement projects are identified in Table 1.
This analysis assumed phased construction of corridor improvements along Sedgwick Rd and Bethel Rd, with the first phase including minor signal phasing improvements at the intersections of Bethel Road & Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road & Lund Avenue. The addition of protected-permitted left-turn treatments at these locations would represent a low-cost preliminary phase of the Bethel Road and Sedgwick Road corridor improvements and was included in the baseline scenario.
Conceptual drawings of all proposed roundabouts are provided in Attachment A.
Alternative A: 20-Year TIP with Sedgwick & Bethel Corridor Improvements
Alternative A included all projects identified in the Port Orchard 20-year (Tier 2) Transportation Improvement Program and all baseline improvement projects. Tier 2 TIP projects include construction of Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road corridor improvements.
This analysis assumed Sedgwick Road widening will include a four-lane access-controlled section with a raised median from SR 16 to Bethel Road. Left turns will be prohibited at stop-controlled driveways and intersections along Sedgwick Road. Left-run access to access-restricted driveways along Sedgwick Road will be available via U-turn movements at new roundabouts at Bravo Terrace and east of Geiger Road.
Bethel Road widening will include a two-lane access-controlled section with a raised from Mile Hill Drive to 1,000 feet south of Sedgwick Road. Left turns will be prohibited at stop-controlled driveways and intersections along Bethel Road. Left-turn access to access-restricted driveways along Sedgwick Road will be available via U-turn movements at the intersections of Lund Avenue and Salmonberry Road along Bethel Road.
A conceptual drawing showing recommended lane channelization at the intersection of Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road is provided in Attachment B.
These planning-level assumptions are consistent with the Port Orchard Comprehensive Plan and were confirmed by City staff.

Mitchel Road – Lundberg Road – Lincoln Avenue Reconfiguration Alternative A assumes realignment of SE Lundberg Road and Lincoln Avenue SE concurrent with the Bethel Corridor project to create a new four-leg roundabout on Bethel Road, as shown in Figure 2. The new intersection will improve access to development parcels to the west of Bethel Road and to Mitchel Avenue and South Kitsap High School to the east of Bethel Road.
Alternative A also assumes Mitchell Road we be reconfigured as a northbound one-way street between Bethel Road and Lincoln Avenue SE. The new one-way will relieve right-turn demand from the new roundabout to the north.
Figure 2. Alternative A (2040) Mitchell Road – Lundberg Road – Lincoln Avenue Reconfiguration
Alternative B: Expanded Roadway Network
Alternative B included all projects which were modeled in Alternative A with the addition of three new local street connections, as shown below and in Figure 1:
Connector A: Ives Mill Road from existing terminus west of Bethel to Bravo Terrace
Connector B: Sherman Avenue from existing terminus north of Sedgwick to intersect Bethel at Bravo Terrace.
Connector C: New roadway from SE Lund Ave 450 west of Bethel Rd to intersect with Bethel Rd at existing signalized intersection opposite Walmart driveway

Level of Service Standards
Minimum street and intersection LOS requirements are defined in the Port Orchard 2014 Transportation Element as LOS D for all segments and intersections on the City’s arterial street system.
The City’s Level of Service standard does not apply to State facilities within the City of Port Orchard. Minimum LOS for State facilities are set by the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT). SR 16 is designated by WSDOT as a Highway of Statewide Significance (HSS) and is assigned minimum LOS D. SR 160 is designated a Tier 2 non-HSS also with minimum LOS D.
Level of Service Definition
Intersection LOS is based on the average delay experienced by a vehicle traveling through an intersection. Delay at a signalized intersection can be caused by waiting for the signal or waiting for the queue ahead to clear the signal. Delay at unsignalized intersections is caused by waiting for a gap in traffic or waiting for a queue to clear the intersection. Table 2 identifies the delay thresholds used to determine intersection LOS. For the purposes of this analysis and to maintain consistency with WSDOT practice, roundabouts were analyzed using signalized LOS thresholds. Delay is defined differently for signalized and all-way stop controlled intersections than for two-way stop controlled (i.e. stop control on minor approach) intersections. For signalized and all-way stop controlled intersections, level of service thresholds are based upon average control delay for all vehicles using the intersection. For two-way stop controlled intersections, delay is reported for the movement with the worst (highest) delay.
Table 2. Intersection Level of Service Thresholds
LOS Signalized & Roundabout
Delay (sec/veh) Stop-Controlled Delay (sec/veh)
A ≤10 ≤10
B >10 – 20 >10 – 15
C >20 – 35 >15 – 25
D >35 – 55 >25 – 35

The intersections of Sedgwick Rd & Bethel Rd and Bethel Rd & Mitchell Rd will operate below minimum LOS standards at LOS E by 2040.
Baseline signal phasing improvements at the intersection of Bethel Rd & Lund Ave will allow the intersection to operate at LOS D through 2040, satisfying minimum LOS standards. The intersection would operate with 104.5 seconds per vehicle delay (LOS F) without signal improvements.
Elisabeth Wooton, Transportation Planner December 21, 2017
Page 8 of 17
The intersection of Bethel Rd & Salmonberry Rd will operate with LOS B under signal control or LOS A under roundabout control. This analysis indicated that a two-lane roundabout with flared entries will be necessary to maintain minimum LOS standards at the intersection. A roundabout will result in control delay of 8.3 seconds per vehicle while a traffic signal will result in control delay of 12.1 seconds per vehicle.
Queue results are summarized in Table 4.

Westbound queue at the Sedgwick Rd & SR 16 WB ramps will stack to Bravo Terrace and impact roundabout operations, assuming the existing intersection spacing of 270 feet is maintained.
The intersection of Sedgwick Rd & Bethel Rd will operate with queue exceeding storage capacity for eastbound right, northbound left, southbound left, and southbound right turn lanes. Queuing on the westbound through movement will block the 60-foot westbound right turn lane for the majority of the PM peak hour, limiting the effectiveness of the right-turn lane.
Alternative A: 20-Year TIP with Sedgwick & Bethel Corridor Improvements
Geiger-Blueberry-Ramsey-Salmonberry Bypass Route
Alternative A includes planned widening projects along Geiger Road, Blueberry Road, Ramsey Road, and Salmonberry Road. The combination of these widening and improvement projects, in addition to intersection capacity improvements at Sedgwick Rd & Bethel Rd and Bethel Rd & Salmonberry Rd, create a bypass route to the northwest of the Sedgwick Rd & Bethel Rd intersection. The northwest bypass route will serve approximately 167 vehicles during the 2040 PM peak hour, as shown in Figure 3.

The Mitchell Road – Lundberg Road – Lincoln Avenue reconfiguration will mitigate an LOS deficiency at Bethel Road & Mitchell Road, with the new roundabout operating at LOS A through 2040.
The widening of Sedgwick Road to include a two through lanes in each direction will allow the Sedgwick Rd & Bethel Rd intersection to operate at LOS D through 2040. This analysis also assumed revised turn bay storage capacities, as described above, to allow turn bays to operate effectively.
Elisabeth Wooton, Transportation Planner December 21, 2017
Page 11 of 17
This analysis assumed widening of Sedgwick Road to a point east of the Bethel Road intersection in order to allow two westbound through lanes at the intersection. This extension of the Sedgwick Road widening project would be necessary to maintain intersection LOS standards at the intersection, as the intersection will operate at LOS E with 65 seconds average delay with a one-lane westbound approach.
A two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Bethel Road & Salmonberry Road will allow slightly lower delay (14.9 sec/veh) than signal control (21.9 sec/veh) at the same location. Roundabout
Intersection operations at Bethel Rd and Mile Hill Dr (SR 166) are improved by demand redistribution and rebalancing associated with the Port Orchard Boulevard improvements and the Bethel Road widening.
Queuing results are summarized in Table 6.

Westbound 95th percentile queue at the intersection of Sedgwick Rd & SR 16 WB ramps will extend 338 feet and through the Bravo Terrace roundabout. Eastbound 95th percentile queue at Bravo Terrace will extend 88 feet and will not stack to the ramp intersection.
Roadway improvements under Alternative A included increased turn bay storage at the intersection of Sedgwick Rd & Bethel Rd. Turn bay storage capacities identified in Table 6 at the Sedgwick & Bethel intersection were defined based on 95th percentile queue results.

Alternative B: Expanded Roadway Network
Connector A, as shown in Figure 1, will operate as a cut-through route to the southwest of the intersection of Sedgwick Rd and Bethel Rd. It will serve approximately 490 vehicles per hour in the 2040 PM peak hour condition, some of which include vehicles which would otherwise travel through the Sedgwick & Bethel intersection.
Connector B will create an alternate north-south route east of SR 16 from Sedgwick Road to Sidney Avenue, which continues north to Tremont Street. The connector will serve anticipated development in the vicinity but will also serve cut-through demand. Connector B will serve up to 530 vehicles per hour by 2040.
Connector C as defined by City staff will provide internal connectivity to commercial developments southwest of the intersection of Bethel Road and Lund Avenue. the route will also function as a bypass route during the PM peak hour, serving approximately 170 vehicles per hour which would otherwise use the intersection of Bethel & Lund. Consideration should be given to the intended purpose of this connector. If the route is intended to serve as a collector roadway, alignment and intersection control along the corridor should be designed to provide capacity to through movements.
Alternative B intersection LOS results are summarized in Table 7.

The intersection of Sedgwick Road with the SR 16 WB ramps will operate at LOS D, satisfying WSDOT LOS standards but within 0.5 seconds of LOS E and failure threshold. An increase in delay at the Sedgwick Rd & SR 16 WB ramp intersection is a result of increased northbound right-turn demand which will exit SR 16 to use Connector B.
A two-lane roundabout at the intersection of Bethel Road & Salmonberry Road will allow slightly lower delay (15.7 sec/veh) than signal control (22.0 sec/veh) at the same location.

Queue exceeds storage capacity
Westbound 95th percentile queue at the intersection of Sedgwick Rd & SR 16 WB ramps will extend 523 feet and through the Bravo Terrace roundabout. Eastbound 95th percentile queue at Bravo Terrace will extend 112 feet and will not stack to the ramp intersection.

Eastbound 95th percentile queue will extend 1,154 feet, well beyond the SR 16 eastbound ramp intersection, impacting operations on the SR 16 eastbound off-ramp. Queue mitigation would require widening of the Sedgwick overpass to provide two eastbound through lanes at the SR 16 westbound ramps.
Eastbound 95th percentile queue at the intersection of Sedgwick Road and Bravo Terrace will extend 112 feet and will not reach the SR 16 WB ramp intersection.
As PM peak hour demand on SR 16 approaches or exceeds capacity in 2040, regional demand may begin to spill over to the Port Orchard street network. This analysis did not consider capacity improvements to SR 16, which are currently being evaluated as part of the WSDOT SR 16 Congestion Study. As a result, this analysis reflects a “worst case” scenario with regional demand potentially using the Port Orchard street network to bypass freeway congestion. This analysis should be updated as WSDOT identifies potential SR 16 improvement strategies.
Conclusion
This preliminary analysis indicates that minimum LOS standards along the Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road
corridors can be maintained through 2040 with a combination of signal phasing improvements, developer-funded
project improvements, and widening of Sedgwick Road and Bethel Road.
Several developer-funded project improvements will be necessary to provide access to anticipated commercial
and residential development sites along the study corridor.
Sedgwick Road widening is recommended to include a five-lane section extending to the east of Bethel Road in
order to satisfy intersection LOS at the intersection of Sedgwick Road & Bethel Road.
A two-lane roundabout will provide the greatest operational benefit at the intersection of Bethel Road and
Salmonberry Road. In addition to providing delay and queuing benefits over signal control, roundabout control
will allow the northbound and southbound U-turn movements which will be necessary given the proposed access
restrictions along the Bethel Road corridor. Roundabout control also offers safety and traffic calming benefits for
the Bethel & Salmonberry intersection.
Realignment of the Bethel Road & Lundberg Road and Bethel Road & Lincoln Avenue intersections, in combination
with one-way channelization of Mitchell Road between Bethel Road and Lincoln Avenue, will mitigate intersection
LOS deficiency on the westbound stop-controlled approach of Mitchell Road at Bethel Road.
The proposed connector roadways in Alternative B will provide alternate routes to Sedgwick Road and Bethel
Road. These routes will not be necessary to maintain minimum intersection LOS in the 2040 analysis horizon but
will improve network connectivity and access to anticipated commercial and residential development.
Future analyses should consider the impacts of potential improvement strategies along the SR 16 corridor through
Port Orchard, pending WSDOT SR 16 corridor study results.
This document summarizes the preliminary findings of TSI’s Sedgwick-Bethel corridor travel demand and LOS
forecasts. If you have any questions about the analysis or findings presented above, please contact me at your
