Date: March 12,2008
Project Name: Lowe's College Station TIA
Location: North corner of SH 6 and Greens Prairie Road in College Station,Texas
Owner's Agent: Anna Martin,P.E.,HDRNWHM Phone: 512-904-3719
1. Intersections. Level of Service calculations shall be performed for the following intersections, showing (a)
existing traffic conditions and(b)projected traffic conditions,identifying site,non-site,and total traffic:
a. South Earl Rudder Freeway(SH 6)and Greens Prairie Road(2 intersections)
b. Lakeway Drive and Greens Prairie Road
c. Woodland Hills Boulevard and Greens Prairie Road
d. All site driveways(five assumed)
2. Data Assumptions. The following assumptions will be included in the analysis. Any change in these
assumptions should be approved by the transportation planner prior to submittal of the TIA.

Traffic count data will be collected at area intersections as part of the analysis. Traffic counts shall be
collected after March 17, 2008, when Texas A&M University and College Station ISD resume class
after spring break vacation. In addition to Turning Movement Counts (TMC's) to be collected at the
intersections above and 24-hour tube counts shall be collected at the following locations:
