1. The Woodlands Parkway extension will result in more traffic on the existing section of Woodlands Parkway between FM 2978 and Kuykendahl Road consistently for all three design years, 2018, 2025 and 2040. 2. The Woodlands Parkway extension will cause the existing Woodlands Parkway section west of Kuykendahl traffic volume to exceed the four-lane capacity threshold by a small amount of traffic by 2025. 3. The Woodlands Parkway extension will cause the existing Woodlands Parkway section east of FM 2978 and west of Branch Crossing Drive to exceed the four-lane capacity threshold by 2040. 4. The section of Woodlands Parkway east of Branch Crossing Drive and west of Kuykendahl, will exceed the four-lane capacity threshold under both scenarios, with or without the extension, by 2040. 5. The east-west corridor west of FM 2978, composed of FM 1488 and Hardin Store Road, will require widening if the Woodlands Parkway is not extended in 2025. The additional corridor capacity could be accomplished by widening Hardin Store Road from two to four lanes instead of extending Woodlands Parkway to the west. However, this would also require the widening FM 2978 from four to six lanes between Hardin Store Road and Woodlands Parkway by the same year, 2025. 6. The east-west corridor west of FM 2978, composed of FM 1488 and Hardin Store Road, will require widening if the Woodlands Parkway is extended by 2040, which will require adding four lanes to the corridor in addition to the Woodlands Parkway extension. 7. The east-west corridor analysis east of FM 2978, composed of FM 1488, Research Forest Drive and Woodlands Parkway, shows that whether the Woodlands Parkway is extended or not, will require additional corridor capacity by 2040. 8. The peak-hour intersection analyses show that the Woodlands Parkway extension will negatively impact the intersection of Woodlands Parkway at FM 2978 in 2018 and 2025, causing it to exceed acceptable vehicle delays during both peak hours, AM and PM. The impact to the intersection of Woodlands Parkway at Kuykendahl consists of additional vehicle delay only during all three design years, since this intersection already needs to be improved now.
