CATEGORICAL EXCLUSION
probable parking demand at the station. This effort was based on: 1) application
of the regional travel demand model, and 2) an assessment of the actual usage
of parking spaces within the Northeast Corridor (Blue Line). The analysis resulted
in the proposed Phase I parking proposal of 62 general use spaces and five
handicap spaces on opening day December 2010. DART is including a Phase II
parking area, which would include another 62 general use spaces that would be
constructed, if ridership demands, at a later date.
The developer of the Lake Highlands Town Center project has coordinated with
DART to ensure that the roadway network within the development can
accommodate bus operations. Route 583 would be rerouted from Skillman to
serve the station. Additional system-wide bus changes will occur in December
2010. At this time, it is planned that potentially two additional routes would serve
the Lake Highlands station. These two routes would run less frequently than
Route 583 and would not stop at the Lake Highlands station simultaneously.
Thus, there are sufficient bus bays to serve the additional routes. Final details on
new routes will be determined in the summer of 2010.
As a part of the Lake Highlands Town Center project, Prescott Realty Group
completed a Traffic Impact Analysis March 7, 2007 to develop mitigation
measures and ensure compliance with City of Dallas traffic requirements.
Additional retail, residential and office uses within the development would be
mitigated based on the recommendations from this study. Additional bus
movements would be minimal and are being accommodated through design
coordination between the City of Dallas, Dallas County, Prescott Realty Group,
and DART.
Finding: The proposed Lake Highlands LRT Station would not negatively
impact existing traffic patterns.
F. CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) HOT SPOTS
According to 40 CFR 93 part 93.116, a FHWA/FTA project must not cause or
contribute to any new localized CO violation or increase the frequency or severity
of any existing CO violation in CO nonattainment or maintenance areas. The
Dallas/Fort Worth region is in attainment for CO. In addition, a CO Hot Spot
analysis is not required since the proposed station has already been approved by
NCTCOG in the TIP and the MTP and the proposed station would not result in a
decrease in the level of service on adjoining roadways as no-new limited parking,
only 67 spaces in Phase I, would be constructed. Appendix C includes the 2008-
2011 TIP references for the proposed station.
Finding: A CO Hot Spot Analysis is not required.Page 7
