included in Appendix 4. Comparison of these three sets of data indicate <br /> ' that the traffic created by BEST-WAY PAVING COMPANY'S operation is neglig- <br /> able comparied to the average daily traffic recorded in the same area. <br /> ' By comparing actual traffic counts it can be observed that BEST-WAY traffic <br /> averages less than 4 percent of the established daily traffic. The Average <br /> ' Daily Traffic (ADT) figures shown include two-way traffic on the street and <br /> ' have not been corrected. The BEST-WAY traffic count figures actually vary <br /> from 0 to 146 round trips a day with the actual average well under 100, <br /> ' In March 1977, the time period during which the City of Greeley conducted <br /> its traffic count on West 35th Avenue, BEST-WAY contributed an average of <br /> ' less than 3 percent of`the total traffic measured on that street. <br /> ' In summary, it is not considered that the volume that BEST-WAY contributes <br /> ' to the area is significant. In addition, it should be noted that it is the <br /> intention of the City and County to upgrade West 35th Avenue to handle larger <br /> ' volumes of traffic. It is anticipated that the traffic due to BEST-WAY <br /> PAVING COMPANY's continued operation of the site will grow at a much slower <br /> rate than will the overall traffic, and as a result, the effect of continued <br /> ' gravel and asphalt production operations at the site will be relatively <br /> insignificant in terms of relative impact. <br /> ' Finally, it has been noted previously that BEST-WAY has, in recent years, <br /> obtained the majority of its gravel from pits along the Poudre River, north <br /> of the site on West 35th Avenue. This has required that gravel be hauled <br /> onto the site as well as away from it, essentially doubling the volume of <br /> traffic at the entrance. Continued production of aggregate from the site <br /> would actually reduce traffic at BEST-WAY'S entrance onto West 35th Avenue. <br /> -26- <br />
