Moved by Councilman Pope,seconded by Councilman Gipson,to add a con- dition el,which provides for a deceleration lane off Mukilteo Boulevard into the Forest Ridge subdivision at the expense of the developer. Councilman Pope said this intersection should be taken on ite own merits I .r and he could foresee future accidents. He said everything could be moved d, over and provide an 8.lane for turning. Councilman Baker requested input from Ron Cameron as to how access on to Mukilteo Blvd.should be handled and what our policy is and Mr.Cameron replied that the PRD had substantially more units with the reeult that the only access to that PAC was on Mukilteo Blvd.at this existing right-of- (I way. It was not proposed with a right turh deceleration-acceleration lane i but a left turn lane required for westbound traffic coming out the ! Boulevard and there were severe traffic reservations on Mukilteo Blvd. for increased crossing times of pedestrians that would be using the buses, particularly in the winter months. Mr.Cameron stated that the general number they use in terms of traffic engineering design for a right turm lane is at least 250 vehicles per hour with opposing traffic at this location i! on the Boulevard the peak hour volume will be less than 50 vehicles per hour. He said the criteria is not there in terms of design standards and in terms with being consistent with what is in that section. (. 4 !r 4 •
