(1) Simulation show s that the permitted left-turn phas e on the w estbound approach is not adequately served causing extended queues that block upstream intersections. It is assumed that an exclusive left-turn lane w ould be provided on this approach under a ll LOS standards considered. (2) The v/c ratios at these intersections are less than 1.00 but exceed the Or egon Highw ay Plan’s v/c-based standard and w ould require mitigation by ODOT . The strategies listed were also evaluated in term s of how well they directly and indirectly responded to the street sy stem planning policies dictated by the TPR, RTP, and the City’s Comprehensive Plan . To varying degrees, the strategies also reflect the goals of the Medford Vision Strategic Plan, the Jackson County Comprehensive Plan and the RVMPO Alternative Measures package.
