Adjustment.
Summary:
Please review for approval the attached resolution for a 3.7% premium increase to the City of
Brookings 2016 Delta Dental insurance plan year. This was considered a minimal increase due to
the fact that our dental claims are currently running 8.3% higher than premiums. The rates for dental
insurance are guaranteed for one year from January 1, 2016 through December 31, 2016. The City
of Brookings pays a flat rate of 75% of the Delta Dental single premium towards all levels of coverage
for all full-time employees who elect dental coverage. This 3.7% increase represents an estimated
additional annual cost to the city of $1,627.20 for 2016 (over 2015). The 2016 budget group
insurance line item provided for a 5% overall increase in anticipation of this rate adjustment.
There is no rate increase proposed at this time for health and life insurance for plan year 2016.

Transportation Traffic Analysis, Highway 14 (6th Street) from Main Avenue to Medary Avenue;
comparison of 3-lane and 5-lane design.
Summary:
The City of Brookings requested the South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) to
analyze traffic scenario comparisons of a 3-lane design,as opposed to a 5-lane design on a segment
of Sixth Street. While this topic is pertinent to the overall discussion of the engineering design of the
Main Avenue to Medary Avenue segment, the traffic analysis attached extends somewhat beyond
this scope for more accurate traffic movement analysis. The DOT traffic design analysis is self-
explanatory and attached. Representatives of SDDOT will be at the City Council meeting to provide
more detail about the report and answer questions.

RE: P-PH 0014(179)419, Brookings County, PCN 027B
US14 US14 - Fm Main Ave. to Medary Ave. in Brookings & the Intersections
of US14 & 12th Ave,
Urban Grading, Curb & Gutter, Storm Sewer, Traffic Signals, ADA, Sidewalk,
Roadway Lighting & PCC Surfacing
Introduction
This report is an expansion of the work that was summarized in a 03/26/14 report and an
11/13/14 report. Both of the previous reports presented the results of a comparative
analysis of US14 (6th Street) operations between Main Avenue and Medary Avenue for a
5-lane section and a 3-lane section. This report considers the same two cross-sections,
but the limits have been expanded to be between Main Avenue and 20th Avenue. The
change in limits is due to the City of Brookings’ request that we consider a 3-lane section
between Western Avenue and 17th Avenue. These limits presented two issues:
1. There is no reliable method to develop Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)
compliant measures of operational effectiveness using a network that has an
unsignalized intersection as one boundary node.
2. The distance between 17th Avenue and 20th Avenue is not long enough to
accommodate both the required lane reduction taper to change from a 5-lane
section to a 3-lane section and a sufficiently long continuation of the second WB
lane beyond the 20th Avenue signal.
Based on this, the limits were set as Main Avenue and 20th Avenue. Since signalized
intersections serve as the constraint points in any network, this analysis is a legitimate
proxy for comparing the operational effectiveness of the two cross-sections from Western
Avenue. The analysis years have also been changed to 2015 and 2040 (to reflect the
current 2018 construction year).
2
Another key difference between this report and the previous two is the analysis software
used. Previously, only the Streets module of the HCS2010 software package was used.
For this report, Trafficware’s Synchro and SimTraffic software were used to develop
optimized signal timing plans and to obtain maximum queue lengths. Using the
optimized timing plans, HCS2010 was then used to determine the Highway Capacity
Manual (HCM) level of service (LOS) for each signalized intersection and an overall facility
LOS.
In addition to the operational analyses, traffic signal warrant evaluations for the Western
Avenue and 7th Avenue intersection were also completed for existing traffic conditions
and a 3-lane section.
Data Sources
Turning movement counts were taken from the Brookings Area Master Transportation
Plan (June 2011), the Aberdeen Region’s 2014 count at 5th Avenue, and from the Retail
Development at 6th Street and Lefevre Drive Final Traffic Impact Study (2014). Even
though the count years varied, there was not that great of a difference between them,
and so to expedite the cross-section comparison it was decided to use the available data.
Some minor adjustment of the traffic volumes was necessary for balancing purposes to
achieve acceptable software performance. The analysis hour was the PM peak hour
(1630), which was also the highest volume hour of the day.
A traffic growth factor was then developed from data presented in the Department’s
Roadway Information System (RIS). This factor (1.32) was then applied to the balanced
turning movement counts to bring them to a year 2040 analysis level.
Results of Analyses
Level of service is a qualitative assessment of a highway's operating conditions and
refers to a standard measurement that reflects the relative ease of traffic flow on a
scale of A (excellent) to F (failing). The Highway Capacity Manual defines the ranges
for LOS, by facility type and defines the methodologies to be used to determine LOS.
The Department’s Road Design Manual (RDM) specifies that the desired LOS for urban
arterials is C and the minimum acceptable is D. For urban signalized intersections, the
RDM desired LOS is C and the minimum acceptable is D. Because the HCS2010
software algorithms are the most compliant with the HCM methodologies, it was used
for all LOS analyses.
Table 1 presents the delay and LOS results for each signalized intersection under current
traffic volumes. While each intersection operates at an acceptable LOS, the results show
that delays for the 3-lane section would be 15-60% higher.

Tables 4 and 5 present the predicted maximum queue lengths during the PM peak hour;
for clarity, values are only presented for the eastbound (EB) and westbound (WB)
through movements. As expected, losing a through lane in each direction would result in
longer queues; the detrimental effects of this include blocked driveway accesses, an
increased probability of rear end crashes, increased noise levels and increased air
pollutants.

TRAFFIC SIGNAL VOLUME WARRANT EVALUATION
The traffic count data was used with the PC-Warrants software package to evaluate the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) traffic signal volume warrants for
both the Western Avenue and 7th Avenue intersections assuming a 3-lane section was in
place on 6th Street. Neither intersection satisfied the warrants; copies of the PC-Warrants
report summary are attached. A more detailed of each warrant follows.
Warrant 1, Eight-Hour Vehicular Volume
Warrant 1 includes three parts, Condition A, Condition B and a combination of the two.
Although subdivided, Warrant 1 is treated as a single warrant; if either Condition A,
Condition B or the combination of A and B is satisfied, then Warrant 1 is satisfied.
Condition A, Minimum Vehicular Volume, is intended for application at locations where a
large volume of intersecting traffic is the principal reason to consider installing a traffic
control signal. Condition A is satisfied if for at least eight hours of the day there is a
combined traffic volume of at least 350 vehicles per hour (vph) for both approaches of 6th
Street and at least 105 vph on one approach of the intersecting street.
Condition B, Interruption of Continuous Traffic, is intended for application at locations
where Condition A is not satisfied and where the traffic volume on a major street is so
heavy that traffic on a minor intersecting street suffers excessive delay or conflict in
entering or crossing the major street. Condition B is satisfied if for at least eight hours of
the day there is a combined traffic volume of at least 525 vph for both approaches of 6th
Street and at least 53 vph on one approach of the intersecting street.
6
The combination of Conditions A and B is intended for application at locations where
neither Condition A nor Condition B is satisfied. The combination is satisfied if for at least
eight hours of the day, both of the following are true:
The combined traffic volume on 6th Street is at least 280 vph for both approaches
and one of the approaches of the intersecting street has at least 84 vph.
The combined traffic volume on 6th Street is at least 420 vph for both approaches
and one of the approaches of the intersecting street has at least 42 vph.
Warrant 2, Four-Hour Vehicular Volume
The Four-Hour Vehicular Volume signal warrant is applied where the volume of
intersecting traffic is the principal reason to consider installing a traffic signal. This
warrant is satisfied when, for any four hours of the day, the plotted points representing
the total vehicles per hour on both the approaches of major road and the corresponding
vehicles per hour on the higher-volume approach of minor road (one direction only) fall
above the appropriate curve of Figure 4C-2 of the 2009 MUTCD.
CONCLUSIONS/RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Under existing traffic conditions, both a 3-lane cross-section and a 5-lane cross-
section would operate at acceptable levels of service (intersection and arterial.)
2. Even though the analyses results for the 3-lane cross-section under existing traffic
conditions show acceptable levels of service, the expected maximum queue lengths
during the PM peak hour would have significant negative impacts on ingress/egress
at accesses and user costs.
3. Under forecast 2040 traffic conditions, a 5-lane cross-section would continue to
operate at acceptable levels of service (intersection and arterial.)
4. Under forecast 2040 traffic conditions, a 3-lane cross-section would operate at
unacceptable levels of service, both on an individual intersection basis and an
arterial basis.
5. The Road Design Manual states that an urban 3-lane section should be able to
accommodate an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volume of up to 16,000 vehicles.
Empirical estimates of capacity are widespread in the literature, with an upper limit
varying up to 20,000 vehicles per day (vpd). The gene ral consensus though, is that
15,000 to 18,000 vpd can be accommodated at acceptable levels of service.
Segments of the study section of US-14 (6th Street) are presently at this upper limit
according to 2014 daily count data, which is consistent with the analyses results.
7
6. If a 3-lane section were in place, neither the Western Avenue nor the 7th Avenue
intersections would warrant a traffic signal under existing traffic conditions.
7. Based on the operational advantages under existing and forecast 20-year traffic
conditions, the 5-lane cross-section continues to be the recommended cross-section
for the project.
