As shown in <br />Table 5, intersection LOS is based on delay. Existing AM (7-9) and PM (4-6) traffic volumes were <br />obtained from recent publicly accessible traffic studies. Future 2040 No Build and 2040 Build volumes <br />were developed based on the “difference method” previously described. A level of service standard of <br />LOS F was used for this analysis. <br />Technology <br />Technology projects included in the 2020 TVTC Nexus Study include studies to evaluate and identify <br />potential technology-based solutions. Since these are studies and not public facilities, no MOE or
