This supplemental technical report presents updated and coordinated year 2030 traffic forecasts for the four Section AFC alternatives still being considered in the FHWA Point of Access (POA) analysis for the I-95 Section AFC Ann Street to Frankford Creek interchange and mainline reconstruction project. These alternatives include: the No-Build, Minimum Build, Full Diamond Interchange at Allegheny Avenue, and Split Diamond Interchange at Allegheny Avenue and Castor Avenue. These forecasts are based on the same underlying assumptions, that is: 1) 2030 design year and Board Adopted DVRPC socioeconomic forecasts; 2) include Delaware Avenue/Christopher Columbus Boulevard condominium and casino generated volumes; and 3) eliminate the Delaware Avenue Extension (temporary detour road). Also, the pedestrian crosswalk, bicycle, and vehicular turning movement counts within the North Delaware Avenue/Beach Street intersection at East Columbia Avenue taken during the 2010 Shad Fest held in Penn Treaty Park are included and analyzed in this report; as are 2030 vehicular intersection turning movement projections, including the SugarHouse Casino traffic generation. These pedestrian and bicycle counts and vehicular movement projections provide design data for access to Penn Treaty Park.Geographic Area Covered: Delaware Expressway (I-95), Allegheny Avenue, Castor Avenue, Richmond Street, North Delaware Avenue, Lower Northeast Philadelphia, Bridesburg, Fishtown, Kensington, Richmond, and additional neighborhoods of Northern Liberties and Old City in Philadelphia
