KL Engineering's Proven Project Approach
Our approach to the Oshkosh Avenue Traffic Impact Analysis will include an organized, thoughtful, and
systematic process. We will start by developing a comprehensive understanding of the City of Oshkosh's
goals, then pursue an efficient project approach designed to meet these objectives, all while thoroughly
completing the appropriate level of technical analysis and WisDOT standard documentation.
The fundamental goal of KL's project approach is to provide the City of Oshkosh with:
• A high level of comprehension of the existing transportation network's operations characteristics
• A full understanding of the traffic impact resulting from the Oshkosh Avenue redevelopment
• Sound recommendations based on thorough analysis and practical solutions
KL Engineering's project team was selected based on delivering the appropriate expertise for evaluating
the multifaceted transportation elements within the Oshkosh Avenue project, and experience in delivering
Traffic Impact Analysis documents. Our team's technical efforts will focus on completing the necessary
data collection and traffic analysis to identify needs and challenges for traffic mobility on and near Oshkosh
Avenue. Our project delivery process will include a collaborative approach and open dialogue with City
staff and key stakeholders, while coordinating with WisDOT personnel to ensure all goals and expectations
are consistently met. This proven approach will result in a successful outcome for this important future
planning effort.
Establishing Goals and Priorities
We would recommend utilizing the planned kickoff meeting to determine specific objectives and goals of
the traffic study. For this meeting, KL would provide a detailed agenda, including questions and potential
alternatives for consideration. This would allow us to ensure that our scope of services is focused on
reaching the City's goals and priorities for the project, while confidently adhering to the project schedule.
Having a detailed scoping discussion will also provide an opportunity to engage our efforts to coordinate
with WisDOT staff throughout the project.
We also expect that our efforts will be shaped by several key project factors such as: Oshkosh
Corporation's development plans, established long range plans, private development projects, and others.
Establishing priorities based on these key factors will provide our team with an added focus.
ll < , City of Oshkosh I Oshkosh Avenue Area Traffic Impact Analysis Page 7
Analysis of Existing Conditions
Data Collection
KL Engineering's project team understands that successful
traffic study outcomes are built upon a solid foundation of
robust and reliable data. Our camera -based traffic counting
process provides for several unique data collection
opportunities.
Video footage is not only used as a cost-effective strategy
for processing large amounts of traffic data; it also becomes
an asset throughout the project as concrete documentation
of traffic conditions, material for public outreach and
involvement, and a tool for calibration of traffic models.
Understanding Oshkosh Avenue Priorities
Through coordination with Oshkosh and WisDOT staff early
in the project, we expect to establish a solid understanding
of the goals and priorities that are important to key
stakeholders. Our team understands the expected priorities
include access to and mobility along Oshkosh Avenue,
relating to the proposed Oshkosh Corporation and other
development.
We will also plan to establish an understanding of
Oshkosh's priorities and the relative importance of
additional factors such as safety, right-of-way impacts,
business impacts, and construction schedule.
Identifying Challenges and Opportunities
Like any traffic study project, the analysis of Oshkosh
Avenue will be dependent on several unique factors,
specific to the project area. In this case, we expect to focus
on multiple challenges near and slightly beyond the project
limits that will significantly impact the operations on
Oshkosh Avenue.
Specific examples of these unique challenges include
multiple daily peak traffic patterns along the corridor, driven
by the presence of Oshkosh West High School to the south
of the project; and the irregular geometry of the Sawyer
Street intersection which, combined with its proximity to the
lift bridge over the Fox River, requires creative solutions to intersection improvement concepts.
Additionally, traffic exiting the Oshkosh Avenue corridor to the west is significantly affected by lane
geometry at the Omro Road and Washburn Street roundabout. The lack of lane continuity for westbound
traffic in this area has the potential to affect long-term operations within the Oshkosh Avenue corridor, and
will be carefully considered within our study.
Finally, our team will ensure that the safety of the existing transportation network is thoroughly evaluated,
and that any findings will be used productively when evaluating future alternatives.

Evaluation of Future Alternatives
Eswansning Fu ufe Traffic 4.onditions
Concurrent with our team's effort to evaluate existing conditions of
the Oshkosh Avenue corridor, we will also pursue the necessary
information to establish appropriate background conditions for the
30 -year outlook of the study. We expect to coordinate our efforts
with WisDOT and the East Central Wisconsin Regional Planning
Commission to understand regional traffic patterns. Additionally, we
will work with the City of Oshkosh and Oshkosh Corporation to establish accurate
proposed development, and we will work directly with local community development

parameters for its
groups to identify
Once the appropriate development parameters are identified, our team will project trip generation patterns
for these properties and assign the trips to the transportation network. Our methodology for these tasks is
based on accepted industry practices and in accordance with WisDOT requirements, as well as a thorough
evaluation of existing traffic patterns and conditions. We will also be conscious of the traffic generation
and assignment for the Omro Road & Koeller Street roundabout to identify whether the intersection can
remain with its current geometry.
Mule modai Zonsiaerations
A key part of our analysis and alternative development will be to accommodate all modes of transportation.
Consideration of transit routes along Oshkosh Avenue, pedestrian sidewalks/crosswalks and ADA
requirements, and bicycle accessibility will be important to incorporate into recommendations for potential
corridor improvements. With the current baseball diamond and possible other sport facilities that may be
constructed in the redevelopment area, it will be critical to enhance mobility for all users. We will also
collaborate with the Go Transit team as part of any recommendations to make sure improvements line up
with any possible future transit needs.
Intersection Evaluations
Critical to the TIA will be evaluations of individual intersections
along the Oshkosh Avenue corridor. These intersections include
Omro Road & Koeller Street, Oshkosh Avenue & Westfield
Street, Oshkosh Avenue & Sawyer Street, and the potential
connection of Koeller Street and the Westfield Street extension.
Our team understands the challenges associated with developing
improvement concepts for the intersection of Oshkosh Avenue
with Sawyer Street. In addition to its proximity to the lift bridge !�
affecting the geometry east of the intersection, the challenge of providing a convenient connection to areas
north of Oshkosh Avenue should be addressed at this intersection. As part of this project, we have the
opportunity to reshape this intersection and create a community focal point. The extensive intersection
design experience of our project team will be an asset throughout the development of future concepts for
this intersection.
The intersections of Westfield Street with Oshkosh Avenue and Koeller Street will also be critical to the
outcomes of the TIA. Because the potential Koeller Street intersection with the Westfield Street extension
is a new intersection, it will be necessary to thoroughly evaluate design concepts and capacity at this
location. The Oshkosh Avenue intersection with Westfield Street will feature major geometry changes
including the addition of a fourth approach. This will require careful consideration of how future traffic
conditions will compare to the current expectation of drivers, corridor consistency, impacts due to the high
school, and how the intersection is used today.
ll < , City of Ushkosh I Ushkosh Avenue area Traffic Impact Analysis Page 9
Overall Corridor Evaluation
Our traffic study will initially evaluate a broad range of concepts for improvements to the Oshkosh Avenue
corridor, including typical section modifications, direct or indirect access strategies, and other non -
intersection features along the roadway. Once a select number of potentially effective strategies have
been identified, we will evaluate the feasibility of these concepts and their compatibility with intersection -
related recommendations. These corridor improvements could include a two-way left -turn lane (TWLTL),
or a raised median with turn lanes.
A crucial component of our project approach will be to strategically overlay the timeline of expected
development with the timeline of recommended improvements. This will provide the opportunity to make
reasonable and timely recommendations based on the projected needs of the Oshkosh Avenue corridor,
to allow for a phased implementation of recommendations.
Project Deliverables
KL Engineering has successfully prepared both abbreviated and full Traffic Impact Analysis documents to
WisDOT for several projects in recent years. Our project team includes trained preparers of these
documents who are experienced with the most recent version of the TIA guidelines.
We will also proudly deliver successful coordination with City staff throughout the project, as well as a
professional and supportive presence at public meetings. We take pride in communicating the findings of
our traffic studies in a comprehensive yet understandable fashion to citizens, stakeholders, and decision -
makers.
Our public information deliverables will be created using graphical representations, concise written
documentation, and organized technical data.
