1900 Fort Myer Drive
SECTION 1 INTRODUCTION
This report provides an update to address comments received from Arlington County DES staff. Individual responses are contained under a separate cover. The primary updates to this report relate to the changes in site plan layout and revised densities.
This report presents the results of a Multimodal Traffic Impact Analysis for the proposed redevelopment of 1900 Fort Myer Drive, located in Arlington County, Virginia. As shown in Figure 1-1, the subject site is comprised of one block, bounded by N. Nash Street to the west, LeeHighway eastbound to the north, N. Fort Myer Drive to the east, and Turnberry Tower to thesouth.
The Applicant proposes to raze the existing 307 room hotel and parking garage and redevelop the site with a new building consisting of approximately 339 hotel rooms with 36,810 S.F. of conference/event space, 490 residential dwelling units, a 10,613 S.F. ground-level hotel restaurant, and 3,142 S.F. of civic space. To implement the proposed redevelopment, the Applicant is seeking a rezoning application and a major site plan application for the above-referenced Property. With this application, the Application proposes to rezone two existing C-O parcels to C-O Rosslyn. It is noted that for purposes of this study and to provide a conservative analysis the restaurant (10,613 SF) and civic space (3,142 SF) were assumed as retail.
As proposed, a single building with two (2) towers would be constructed. The west tower would house the residential uses of the site while the east contains the hotel and retail uses. Parking for the proposed site would be via an above and below-grade parking structure. Separate parking levels are proposed for the residential and hotel. The site would be served by four (4) vehicular access points; two (2) along N. Nash Street and two (2) on N. Fort Myer Drive. The proposed access points along N. Nash Street are proposed to serve the residential uses and building loading while the access points along N. Fort Drive would serve the hotel/retail uses. A porta coshere would serve the hotel from N. Fort Myer Drive. A copy of the rendered site plan is shown in Figure 1-2.
The current zoning designation for the site is C-O (Commercial Office Building, Hotel, and Multiple Family Residential). The subject parcel is designated as High Density Residential on the Arlington County General Land Use Plan (GLUP).
Study Scope

1900 Fort Myer Drive Multimodal Traffic Impact Analysis
March 14, 2019
A scoping meeting was held with Arlington County staff on April 26, 2018 and identified 12 study intersections for inclusion in the traffic study. The approved scoping document also identified the parameters of the multimodal traffic study and analysis methods, and is included in Appendix A. For purposes of this study, the buildout year was assumed to be 2023.
Tasks undertaken in this study include the following:
1. Reviewed proposed development plans, recently completed traffic impact studies in thevicinity, and other background data.
2. Completed a field reconnaissance of existing roadway and intersection geometries, trafficcontrols, speed limits, and adjacent on-street parking restrictions.
3. Conducted a comprehensive multimodal analysis of the site including transit, walkability,and bicycle facilities. The study determined what options, other than vehicular, areavailable to all users of the site. The study includes bus ridership information, metroridership information, bike-sharing facilities, and pedestrian infrastructure inventory.
4. Established a study scope and specific analysis parameters for the TIA with ArlingtonCounty Department of Environmental Services (DES) staff (see Appendix A).
5. Collected vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle counts at the study intersections during theweekday AM and PM peak periods.
6. Collected on-street parking information on a typical weekday in the vicinity of the site.
7. Conducted operational analyses of existing levels of service (LOS) and vehicle queues atthe study intersections based on the existing peak hour traffic volumes, the existingintersection geometries, and traffic controls.
8. Forecasted future traffic volumes for the year 2023 without the proposed developmentbased on existing traffic volumes with the addition of regional traffic growth andapproved pipeline developments.
9. Analyzed 2023 future LOS and queues without the proposed development at the studyintersections based on the future forecasts without development, the future intersectiongeometries, and traffic controls.
10. Estimated the number of peak hour trips that would be generated by the buildout of theproposed development based on standard Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) TripGeneration Manual, 10th Edition rates and equations.

On Street Parking
On-street parking exists on some streets within Rosslyn. Adjacent to the site, on-street parking is provided on both sides of N. Nash Street and a small segment along the N. Fort Myer Drive frontage. No on-street parking is provided along Lee Highway. Varying parking restrictions exist for the on-street parking nearby the site. Figure 2-2 summarizes the on-street parking restrictions for the segments of roadways within close proximity to the site.
Parking occupancy counts were collected where on-street parking is permitted within close proximity to the site on April 11, 2018. The peak overall on-street parking occupancy occurred at 10:00 AM when 71% of the parking spaces were occupied. The observed occupancy is summarized on Table 2-1 and detailed in Appendix B. Refer to figure 2-3 for a map depicting on-street parking locations, contained in the appendix is a map depicting the segments.
General Land Use Plan (GLUP)
The General Land Use Plan (GLUP) is an element of Arlington County’s Comprehensive Plan and is the primary policy guide for future development within the County. The GLUP is used to establish the overall character, extent and location of various land uses. It serves as a guide to communicate the policy of the County Board to citizens, the business community, developers and others in the development of Arlington County.
The site specifically falls into the Rosslyn Coordinated Redevelopment District. The County Board established this district in 1996. The purpose of this district is to encourage the physical and economic development of the Rosslyn area to maximize Rosslyn’s potential, to become a competitive first class urban center which exemplifies superior architecture and excellent urban design. The plan provides a set of vision goals and recommendations that include the following:
A diverse mix of workplaces, housing, retail, and visitor destinations; A physical environment with an emphasis on walkability and the public realm; A “Peaks and Valleys” approach to building heights that protects priority view corridors,
supports an appealing environment at the ground level, creates an attractive, distinctiveskyline with varied heights, and ensures sensitive transitions to surroundingneighborhoods.
A diverse network of public parks and open spaces that engage the Potomac waterfront,provide active outdoor recreational opportunities and amenities for all ages and lifestyles,and provide opportunities for informal congregation, reflection, and meditation; and
A transformed transportation network, including an enhanced system of complete streets,improvements to transit facilities and operations,
As mentioned previously, the site is identified as high-density residential on the plan. The proposed redevelopment is consistent with the goals established in the GLUP. Refer to Figure 2-4 for a detailed map of the Arlington County GLUP in Rosslyn.

Rosslyn Sector Plan (Realize Rosslyn)
A two-year community planning effort involving a diverse group of residents, property owners, and business representatives, Realize Rosslyn culminated in a comprehensive vision and plan to transform this economic hub of the County into a more walkable, dynamic, live-work-shop-play urban center and vibrant gateway to Arlington. On July 23, 2015, the County Board unanimously voted to adopt the Rosslyn Sector Plan. The plan acts as a guide for future development and includes recommendations for certain parks and transportation related elements.
The plan describes four (4) transportation goals within Rosslyn, as follows:
1. Transform Rosslyn’s street system into an enhanced grid of complete streets.2. Enhance transit facilities, operations and connections serving Rosslyn, and make it one of
the premier transit hubs in the region.3. Transform the pedestrian and bicycle network into a safer, more attractive and more
accessible place to walk and bike.4. Coordinate and manage the most effective and efficient performance of Rosslyn’s
transportation network to support the area’s future growth.
Specific transportation improvements noted in the plan include the conversion of Fort Myer Drive and Lynn Street from one-way to two-way, removal of the Fort Myer Drive tunnel, wider sidewalks, and enhancement of bicycle facilities within the core. The plan also includes the extension of 18th Street from it’s current terminus at Oak Street to extend to Arlington Ridge Road as a primary pedestrian way.
The redevelopment of the site is consistent with the Sector Plan recommendations related to right-of-way, streetscape, and the orientation of land uses. Additionally, the proposal includes an east-west pedestrian connection trough the site which is consistent with the Plan.
Figures 2-5 through 2-7 show the recommended vehicular circulation, pedestrian facilities, and bicycle facilities from the Rosslyn Sector Plan, respectively.

SECTION 4 EXISTING CONDITIONS Existing Traffic Counts Existing vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic counts were conducted by Wells + Associates on Wednesday, April 11, 2018 from 6:00 to 10:00 AM and 4:00 to 7:00 PM at the following study intersections, per the scoping agreement.
1. WB Lee Highway/N. Nash Street 2. WB Lee Highway/N. Fort Myer Drive 3. WB Lee Highway/ N. Lynn Street 4. EB Lee Highway/ N. Nash Street 5. EB Lee Highway/N. Fort Myer Drive 6. EB Lee Highway/N. Lynn Street 7. N. Nash Street/North Site Driveway 8. N. Nash Street/South Site Driveway 9. N. Fort Myer Drive/Site Driveway 10. N Fort Myer Drive/19th Street N. 11. Key Boulevard/N. Nash Street 12. Key Boulevard/19th Street N.
The AM and PM peak hour vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic counts are summarized on Figures 4-1 through 4-3, respectively. Detailed sheets containing the count data are included in Appendix D. Based on a review of traffic count data, the common peak hour of the adjacent road network around the site was identified as 7:30 AM to 8:30 AM and from 4:45 PM to 5:45 PM. Traffic volumes at each study intersections were reviewed and balanced up, if needed, to 100 percent of the adjacent intersection if no driveways or intersections exist in between. A review of the vehicular count data indicates that the link of N. Nash Street, adjacent to the site, currently carries approximately 232 AM peak hour trips and 226 PM peak hour trips. The link of N. Fort Myer Drive, adjacent to the site, currently carries approximately 1,057 AM peak hour trips and 1,169 PM peak hour trips. The link of Lee Highway eastbound, adjacent to the site, carries 2,236 AM peak hour trips and 1,126 PM peak hour trips. A review of the pedestrian volumes indicates that the maximum number of pedestrian crossings at the study intersections occurs at the 19th Street N./N. Fort Myer Drive intersection where a total of 680 AM crossings were observed and 756 PM crossings were observed. This location is the closest study intersection to the metro station and the Rosslyn core and would be expected to facilitate a large volume of pedestrians.

1900 Fort Myer Drive Multimodal Traffic Impact Analysis
March 14, 2019
Existing Conditions Operational Analysis
The existing peak hour levels of service (LOS) and queues were estimated at the study intersections based on; the existing lane use and traffic controls shown on Figure 2-1; existing traffic signal phasing/timings obtained from Arlington County; the existing vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle traffic counts shown on Figures 4-1 through 4-3; and the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 2000 methodologies, using Synchro Software, version 10.
Descriptions of LOS “A” through “F” for signalized and unsignalized intersections are included in Appendix E. The results of the existing conditions analysis are presented in Appendix F and summarized in Tables 4-1 and 4-2. In addition to the peak hour volumes the following inputs were coded into Synchro: calculated peak hour factors by approach, lane widths, speed limits, adjacent parking lane, number parking maneuvers, and bus blockages.
Levels of Service. As shown in Table 4-1 the seven (7) signalized study intersections currently operate at overall acceptable LOS “D” or better during the AM and PM peak hours. It is acknowledged that the closely spaced intersections along Lee Highway and Nash Street experience queuing during the peak hours that limit the ability of vehicles to traverse the intersection. Thus, the reported level of service may not fully represent actual conditions.
At the stop-controlled intersections, all lane groups currently operate at acceptable LOS “D” or better during the AM and PM peak hours with the exception of the eastbound left-turn movement at the Key Boulevard/19th Street N. (LOS “F”, AM and PM peaks). As observed in the field, left turning vehicles from Key Boulevard to 19th Street N. utilize gaps in traffic created by traffic signals up and downstream to enter the main line traffic stream. Operations at this intersection are further complicated by the number of pedestrian movements and adjacent driveways that serve the service station and church on the east side of 19th Street N. Further, the limited green time allocated to the 19th Street N. approach at Fort Myer Drive impacts queuing and operations in this area. These queues and delays impact southbound traffic on Nash Street during peak periods.
Queueing. Existing peak hour queues for study intersection were determined using the 50th and 95th percentile queues estimated by Synchro Software, version 10. The 50th and 95th percentile queues of existing conditions are used to establish a datum against which to compare future conditions. The 50th percentile (or average) queue is defined as the maximum back of queue associated with a typical signal cycle. The 95th percentile queue is defined as the maximum back of queue with 95th percentile traffic volumes. The 95th percentile queue is not necessarily ever observed, it is simply based on statistical calculations1. The results of the queueing analysis are presented in Appendix F and summarized in Table 4-2.
As shown on Table 4-2 and observed in the field, peak hour queuing and the calculated average queues can be accommodated within the available turn lane storage provided at study

intersections. It is noted that limited turn lane storage bays exist in the area. Most turns are made from shared through lanes.
Additionally, vehicular queueing is not fully realized due to the closely spaced intersections in Rosslyn and metered conditions. Queuing, beyond what is shown in the Synchro reports, is likely upstream and downstream as vehicles enter and exit the Rosslyn street grid.

SECTION 5 FUTURE CONDITIONS WITHOUT DEVELOPMENT (2023)
Background Conditions
This section presents an analysis of the future transportation conditions including projections of 2023 future traffic forecasts without the proposed development, as well as capacity and queuing analyses under this condition.
Methodology/Assumptions. It was assumed that the proposed redevelopment would be constructed and fully occupied by 2023, as specified in the traffic scoping document. The 2023 future traffic forecasts without site redevelopment were developed based on a composite of existing baseline 2018 traffic volumes, trips generated by nearby pipeline developments, and regional traffic growth.
Pipeline Developments. As outlined in the scoping document, there were four (4) pipeline developments identified near the site. The following provides a list of the included pipelines and Figure 5-1 shows the location of each development.
1401 Wilson Boulevard and 1400 Key Boulevard – 40,000 SF Grocery; 288 DU Residential Central Place – 570,549 SF Office; 11,054 SF Retail 1812 North Moore Street – 569,739 Office; 11,020 SF Retail 1411 Key Boulevard – 67 Condominiums, 6 Townhomes
Table 5-1 shows the trips expected to be generated by each individual development. The pipeline development trips were assigned to the roadway network using distributions provided in their traffic studies. The total pipeline development trips are shown on Figure 5-2 and detailed in Appendix G, and total 1,231 AM peak hour trips, 1,576 PM peak hour trips, and 17,664 daily trips.
It is noted that there are additional approved developments in Rosslyn, including Rosslyn Plaza and Rosslyn Gateway, but were not included in the study since they are not anticipated to be constructed by 2023.
Regional Growth. An increase in traffic associated with regional growth from 2018 to 2023 was estimated at 0.5 percent per year, compounded annually, for all turning movements as agreed to with DES staff during scoping. This growth rate was applied to all turning movements, with the exception of the movements in/out of the site driveways. This growth accounts for increases in traffic resulting from potential development and influences outside of the immediate study area. The regional growth at each of the study intersections is shown on Figure 5-3.
The resulting 2023 future traffic forecasts without development are shown on Figure 5-4.

Planned Improvements. A single roadway improvement was identified within the study area. The Lynn Street Esplanade and Custis Trail Improvements were assumed to be complete by 2023. This County improvement project would eliminate a westbound lane on Lee Highway (west of the Key Bridge) and allow for an expanded trail. The resulting lane use and traffic controls for future conditions without development is shown on Figure 5-5.

1900 Fort Myer Drive Multimodal Traffic Impact Analysis
March 14, 2019
Future Conditions without Development Operational Analysis (2023)
Future peak hour LOS and 50th and 95th percentile queues without the redevelopment of 1900 Fort Myer Drive in year 2023 were estimated at the study intersections based on the future conditions without development lane use and traffic controls shown on Figure 5-5; existing traffic signal phasing/timings obtained from Arlington County; the future peak hour traffic forecasts without redevelopment are shown on Figure 5-4; and the HCM 2000 methodologies using Synchro Software, version 10. The LOS and queue results are presented in Appendix H and summarized in Tables 5-2 and 5-3.
Levels of Service. As shown in Table 5-2, with increases in traffic due to regional growth and pipeline developments, the signalized study intersections would continue to operate at acceptable overall levels of service (LOS “D” or better) during the AM and PM peak hours with the exception of the N. Fort Myer Drive/Lee Highway EB during the AM peak hour which would degrade to an LOS “E”. The results indicate only minor increases in delay would occur.
As noted under the existing conditions, it is acknowledged that the closely spaced intersections along Lee Highway and N. Nash Street experience queuing during the peak hours that limit the ability of vehicles to traverse the intersections. Thus, the reported level of service may not fully represent actual conditions.
Each stop controlled study intersection would continue operate similar to existing conditions. Consistent with existing conditions, the lane groups mentioned previously would continue to operate at LOS “E” or “F”. This includes the critical turning movements at the Key Boulevard/19th Street N. and Nash Street/Key Boulevard intersections as described under existing conditions.
Queueing. As shown on Table 5-3, the results of the queueing analysis are similar to those described in under existing conditions. Increases in the estimated average and 95th percentile queues when compared to existing conditions equate to approximately two (2) vehicles or less.
Metered conditions due to the closely spaced intersections would continue to exist under the future conditions without redevelopment. This limits vehicles from entering and exiting the Rosslyn street grid, thus causing vehicle queuing upstream and downstream.

SECTION 6 PROPOSED SITE DESCRIPTION, TRIP GENERATION, DISTRIBUTIONS & ASSIGNMENTS
Proposed Site Redevelopment Description
The Applicant proposes to raze the existing 307 room hotel and parking garage and redevelop the site with a single new building. The building is proposed to feature two (2) towers with the west tower containing the residential uses and the east containing the hotel. In total the redeveloped site would contain approximately 339 hotel rooms, 490 residential units, 7,695 S.F. of ground-level hotel restaurant, and 5,770 S.F. of civic space. To implement the proposed redevelopment the Applicant has filed a Rezoning Application and Major Site Plan Amendment. As noted previously, for purposes of this Multimodal TIA, the restaurant and civic uses were assumed as retail to provide a conservative analysis.
Parking for the site is proposed via structured parking. The site will include separate parking garages for the residential uses and the hotel/retail uses. The hotel uses will park in a below grade garage containing approximately 420 parking spaces while the residential portion of the site parks in an above grade parking garage containing approximately 438 parking spaces.
For purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that the redevelopment would occur in a single phase and would be constructed and fully occupied by 2023.
This project is consistent with the recommendations of the Rosslyn Sector Plan. The project has active ground floor uses along the Fort Myer Drive frontage and improves the frontage streetscape to be in line with the plan recommendations.
Proposed Site Access and Circulation
The hotel and residential uses of the site, while within a single building, will operate separately, with the residential uses fronting N. Nash Street and the hotel/retail fronting N. Fort Myer Drive. The three (3) existing curb cuts that currently serve the existing hotel are proposed to remain and an additional curb cut is proposed along N. Fort Myer Drive.
The hotel/retail uses of the site that front N. Fort Myer Drive will be served by the two (2) access points; the existing curb cut on N. Fort Myer Drive and a new curb cut to the north. The northern access point serving the hotel will serve the hotel pick-up/drop-off loop. The southern site access point on N. Fort Myer Drive provides direct access to/from the hotel parking garage. Motorists that enter the pick-up/drop-off loop to the north can gain access to the hotel parking garage internal to the site and do not have to re-enter N. Fort Myer Drive. This would facilitate valet parking that may be provided during peak periods or events at the hotel. Additionally, a lay-by lane is proposed along N. Fort Myer Drive to manage tour bus parking with storage for approximately two (2) buses.
53
1900 Fort Myer Drive Multimodal Traffic Impact Analysis
March 14, 2019
The residential uses, fronting N. Nash Street, will be served by the existing north access point. This driveway will provide residents with direct access to/from the residential parking garage. The south site driveway along N. Fort Myer Drive is proposed to accommodate loading for all uses within the site. Along the N. Nash Street site frontage, short term parking spaces are proposed to facilitate short-term deliveries, ride-sharing vehicles, and taxis.
As recommended in the Rosslyn Sector Plan, the proposal includes an east-west pedestrian connection through the site. Pedestrians could use this path to cut through the block and gain quicker access between N. Nash Street and N. Fort Myer Drive.
A detailed exhibit showing the site circulation and proposed access is shown on Figure 6-1.
Loading and Service Operation
As described previously, loading for all uses of the site are proposed via a service driveway along N. Nash Street. Within the service area a total of four (4) loading docks are proposed. Thisamount of loading docks is in compliance with the zoning ordinance requirement. To facilitatetruck turning movements, six (6) parking spaces would be removed on the west side of N. NashStreet.

Site Trip Generation Analysis
As described previously in the report, vehicular traffic counts were collected on April 11, 2018 at the study intersections, including the site driveways. As shown in Table 6-1 the observed peak hour traffic volumes at the three (3) site driveways serving the existing site total 70 AM peak hour trips (38 in and 32 out) and 78 PM peak hour trips (27 in and 51 out).
The Applicant proposes to redevelop the site with a mix of residential, hotel, and retail uses. The number of new site trips anticipated to be generated by the redevelopment was estimated based on ITE’s Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition Land Use Codes (LUC) 222 (Residential), 310 (Hotel), and 820 (Retail). This edition of the manual accounts for the site’s proximity to transit and other non-auto modes and provides rates/equations appropriate for its surroundings. For purposes of this study, the high density multi-use rates were assumed for the retail space since the site is located within Rosslyn. These rates account for an approximately 35 to 65 percent non-auto mode share.
It is noted that the hotel would contain meeting and conference space. The peak hour trips associated with this space are accounted for in the trip generation rates, with the majority of demand occurring outside of the AM and PM peak hours.
The new vehicle trips associated with the redevelopment equates to 260 AM peak hour trips (115 in and 145 out) and 317 PM peak hour trips (170 in and 147 out). When compared to that of the existing hotel site, the redeveloped site would generate an additional 190 AM peak hour trips (77 in and 113 out) and 239 additional PM peak hour trips (143 in and 96 out). Refer to Table 6-1 for a summary of the site trip generation.

Site Trip Distribution and Assignment
The trips associated with the existing hotel site were removed from the roadway network based on driveway counts and regional peak hour traffic directional splits. Refer to Figure 6-2 for the removal of site trips.
The new trips generated by the redevelopment were assigned to the roadway network using trip distributions developed from the traffic count data and existing observed intersection splits and directions of approaches. The trips were assigned to the appropriate site driveway depending on the user destination. These distributions were reaffirmed with County staff through the scoping process.
The directional distribution for new site generated trips are as follows:
To/From the West on GW Memorial Parkway: To/From the East on Lee Highway/I66: To/From the West on Lee Highway/I66: To/From the South on Fort Myer Drive/Lynn Street: To/From the North on Key Bridge: Total:
10% 20% 25% 30% 15% 100%
Refer to Figure 6-3 for hotel/retail site trips and Figure 6-4 for the assignment of residential site trips.

1900 Fort Myer Drive Multimodal Traffic Impact Analysis
March 14, 2019
Operational Analysis of Future Conditions with the Proposed Development
Future peak hour LOS and 50th and 95th percentile queues with the proposed development were estimated at the study intersections based on the future peak hour traffic forecasts with redevelopment shown on Figure 7-1, the future conditions lane use and traffic controls shown on Figure 7-2; the existing traffic signal phasing/timings obtained from Arlington County; and the HCM 2000 methodologies using Synchro Software, version 10. The results are presented in Appendix H and summarized in Table 7-1 and Table 7-2.
Levels of Service. As shown in Table 7-1, with the proposed development, the signalized study intersections would continue to operate at overall acceptable levels of service (LOS “D” or better) during both the AM and PM peak hours with the exception of the N. Fort Myer Drive/Lee Highway EB intersection, which operate beyond capacity (LOS “F”) during the AM peak hour. When compared to future conditions without development overall delay per vehicle at the existing signalized intersections would increase by six (6) seconds or less during the AM and PM peak hours. The results indicate that only minor increases in delay would occur with the redevelopment of the site.
Consistent with future conditions without development some lane groups, particularly at the Key Boulevard/19th Street N. intersection, would continue to operate beyond capacity during the peak periods.
As noted under the existing and future without redevelopment conditions, it is acknowledged that the closely spaced intersections along Lee Highway and N. Nash Street experience queuing during the peak hours that limit the ability of vehicles to traverse the intersections. Thus, the reported level of service may not fully represent actual conditions.
A robust Transportation Demand Management (TDM) program will be implemented to ensure users of the site are familiar and use multimodal transportation options. The site’s location makes it a prime location for multimodal commuting given its excellent transit, pedestrian, and bicycle facilities. The non-auto mode share expected would further aid in minimizing the development’s vehicular impact.
Consistent with existing and future conditions without development, the eastbound left turn movement at the Key Boulevard/19th Street N. would continue to operate beyond capacity during peak periods. Based on previously prepared studies in the area, it is unlikely that warrants for signalization would be met at this location based on the projected traffic volumes. As described previously, this intersection is in close proximity to the existing traffic signal at Fort Myer Drive and would require coordination and accommodate the existing driveways serving the service station and church on the east side of 19th Street.
A number of improvements are planned as part of the 1401 Wilson Boulevard project that would improve traffic conditions in this area. They include modification to 19th Street roadway cross section that would narrow the roadway width and improve pedestrian and bicycle safety and

overall traffic operations in the vicinity of the Key Boulevard intersections at both 19th Street and Nash Street. Further, the long-range plans for Rosslyn that include conversion of Fort Myer Drive to two-way operation may improve operations in this area.
A review of the proposed access points indicates that all site driveway turning movements would operate at LOS “A” during the AM and PM peak periods.
Queueing. As shown on Table 7-2, the results of the queueing analysis are similar to those described in under existing conditions and future conditions without development. Increases in the estimated average and 95th percentile queues when compared to future conditions would equate to approximately one (1) vehicle or less. Those turn lanes identified under the existing conditions would continue to exceed the available storage on occasion in the future without development.
Metered conditions due to the closely spaced intersections would continue to exist under the future conditions with redevelopment. This limits vehicles from entering and exiting the Rosslyn street grid, thus causing vehicle queuing upstream and downstream.
Potential Signal Timing Improvements
As noted under the previous section, the intersection of N. Fort Myer Drive/Lee Highway EB would operate at overall LOS “F” during the AM peak hour. Also, individual movements at this location would operate at or beyond capacity during the AM peak hour. Additionally, the westbound through movement at the N. Fort Myer Drive/Lee Highway WB during the PM peak hour and the northbound through movement at the N. Lynn Street/Lee Highway EB intersection would operate at LOS “E”.
Minor signal timing adjustments (1 second) were made at these locations to improve levels of service at these locations. As shown in Table 5-2, timing adjustments can restore levels of service back to future conditions without redevelopment or better.

SECTION 8 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The conclusions and recommendations of this study are as follows: 1. The site is well-served by a multimodal transportation system that includes arterial, collector,
and local streets; a connected network of sidewalks with ramps and pedestrian countdown heads; numerous bus lines; easy access to the Rosslyn Metrorail Station; carsharing; and bicycle facilities.
2. The seven (7) signalized study intersections currently operate at overall acceptable LOS “D” or better during the AM and PM peak hours. However, it is acknowledged that constrained conditions exist in Rosslyn that impact operations and the reported levels of service and queuing during peak hours. All turning movements at the unsignalized study intersections operate at acceptable LOS with the exception of the eastbound left turn movement from Key Boulevard onto 19th Street N.
3. In the future without redevelopment the seven (7) signalized study intersections would
experience increases in delay as a result of approved development and regional growth, but would continue to operate at overall acceptable LOS “D” or better during the AM and PM peak hours with the exception of the N. Fort Myer Drive/Lee Highway EB intersection, acknowledging the road network constraints. All turning movements at the unsignalized study intersections would continue to operate at acceptable LOS with the exception of the eastbound left turn movement from Key Boulevard onto 19th Street N. that would experience increases in delay and queuing.
4. The existing 307-room hotel is proposed to be razed and redeveloped with a new mixed-use
building containing residential (490 units), hotel (339-rooms), and retail (10,613 S.F.) and civic space (3,142 S.F.). (It is noted that the hotel will contain meeting/conference space that would not impact traffic during the commuter peak hours.) The site will utilize the existing the driveways and construct an additional driveway along N. Fort Myer Drive. Parking for the site is proposed via two (2) parking garages; one to serve the residential uses and one to serve the hotel/retail uses. The proposal includes a pick-up/drop-off loop internal to the site to serve the hotel, thus reducing impacts on the public streets.
5. Upon completion of the redevelopment the site is estimated to generate an additional 190 AM peak hour trips (77 in and 113 out) and additional 239 PM peak hour trips (143 in and 96 out) when compared to the existing hotel. These totals account for the multiple alternative modes of transportation available in the vicinity of the site.
6. In the future with the redevelopment of the site, the seven (7) signalized study intersections would continue operate at overall acceptable LOS “D” or better during the AM and PM peak hours (with the noted network constraints), with the exception of the N. Fort Myer Drive/Lee Highway EB intersection. All turning movements at the unsignalized study intersections

would continue to operate at acceptable LOS with the exception of the eastbound left turn movement from Key Boulevard onto 19th Street N. that would experience increases in delay and queuing. Traffic operations and safety at the Key Boulevard/19th Street intersection would benefit from planned improvements as other adjacent parcels are developed in the future and as the long-range plan for Rosslyn is implemented. As shown in Table 5-2, minor signal timing adjustments can restore levels of service back to future conditions without redevelopment.
7. All four (4) proposed site driveways on both N. Nash Street and N. Fort Myer Drive wouldoperate at LOS “A” during the peak periods with minimal queueing under full buildoutconditions.
8. The vehicular impacts of the project would be minimized through the design of the accesssystem proposed to serve the site. The drop-off/pick-up lane serving the hotel would providedirect access to the parking garage and would minimize potential impacts to Fort Myer Drive.Parking for tour buses is proposed along the west side of Fort Myer Drive to accommodatethese vehicles. Short-term parking is proposed along the east side of Nash Street adjacent tothe residential lobby for short-term deliveries, ride-sharing vehicles, and taxis to minimizeconflicts and facilitate traffic flow along Nash Street.
9. The implementation of a Transportation Management Plan (TMP) would continue toencourage the use of other non-auto modes of transportation including walking, bicyclingand public transit as alternative to single occupancy vehicles and minimize the project’svehicular traffic impacts.
10. The proposed redevelopment at 1900 Fort Myer Drive would improve the existing hotel andbring a vibrant mixed-use development to the site. The combination of high density, mixed-use nature, and enhanced multimodal characteristics of the proposal are consistent with theGLUP and Rosslyn Sector Plan recommendations.
