Entrance about 100 ft from the 1150 East corner
Why it matters: That corner is next to Hobble Creek Elementary, across 1200 North from this site.

The car line loop
Why it matters: The study counts about 1,350 ft of space (~54 cars) for a modeled line of about 51. Three cars of slack.

Where the line would spill onto 1200 North
Why it matters: A note on the plan reads "Approx 600' of que area." If about 600 ft is right, roughly 24 cars fit on site and the rest of the line backs up onto 1200 North.

Space saved for future buildings, portables and buses
Why it matters: The plan also marks a "Future portable classroom area" and "Future bus parking." The traffic study only covers 528 students. What happens if the school grows?

A "school barn" gym building
Why it matters: Evening and event traffic was not studied.

Morning traffic on 1200 North
Hobble Creek Elementary and the proposed charter school would share one corner. This map shows the charter's traffic study numbers for the busiest hour of the school morning.

- Hobble Creek's corner117 → 588cars an hour on 1200 North between 1150 East and the driveway: about 5 times as manyStudy, Fig. 2a and 4a

Method and sources
Numbers. Each street's number is the cars arriving on it plus the cars leaving onto it, in the busiest morning hour, from the study's traffic-volume figures (Fig. 2a without the charter, Fig. 4a with it), which match Appendix C at Main Street. Where a stretch of 1200 North sits between two study intersections, each half uses the nearer intersection; the midway split is drawn at the halfway point. Source: Hales Engineering traffic study, Aug 12, 2026.
Street lines. © OpenStreetMap contributors (ODbL), retrieved Oct 2026. The charter driveway is not in OpenStreetMap; it is drawn about 100 ft east of 1150 East, as the study describes (PDF p.16). Its position is approximate.
School parcels. Utah Geospatial Resource Center (UGRC) / Utah County parcel data, informational only, not a survey.
Moving dots. One dot for about every 25 cars an hour, split between the two directions, all moving at the same speed. Moving dots show how many cars the study expects in the busiest morning hour. They are not a model of real car movements.

| Issue | What the study says | Why it matters | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Counted in summer | Counts at the 1150 East corner were taken Wed, June 24, 2026, then scaled using a US-89 highway sensor. | Hobble Creek was out of school. A highway factor can't recreate an elementary drop-off rush. | p. 4-5, App. B |
| No Hobble Creek | No mention of the elementary school, pedestrians, crossings, walking routes or buses. | It measures how long cars wait, not whether kids are safe. | Full-text search |
| Morning not modeled for the car line | The on-site line was sized using afternoon pick-up only. | The morning has 534 trips vs. 318 in the afternoon. | p. 8, 12 |
| Narrow study area | Three intersections, chosen "based on conversations with the development team." | 45% of trips are assigned to and from the north, but only three intersections were studied. | p. 2, Table 4 |
