Cameron <br />February 28, 1979 <br />Traffic Access <br />...._..._,. <br />pTY OF EVERETT, [y[RETT, WpSMINGTON ' � <br />The traffic impact assessment by TRANSPO identifics thc significant impacts of <br />College Plaza. The G500-9000�a�cin accordance with the ITE criteria used by L•verett. <br />The traffic trip assignments could be slightly different with: <br />(1) the northern 3396 be somewhere beriveen 20 <br />and 309� _ about 25% since most of this <br />traffic is "thn�" Marysville-Everett trips. <br />The counter argument of these thru trips <br />having no competing market resulting in <br />a higher than 33% figure has equal validity. <br />Circuitous 1Valnut-99 trips could also increase <br />the northern access use. <br />the lOth St. access (western) will also serve <br />to the S1V via Rucker-Grand-Norton with less <br />impedance than the 41-Broadway alternat� route. <br />It could receive 25-30%. <br />the southern access could carry more than 50°5 of <br />the total trips considering the compatible commercial <br />character of N. Broadway and it's surrounding residential <br />areas. Combined commercial trips of clients-customers <br />and suppliers will be N. Broadway oriented. <br />(2) <br />(3) <br />Design-evaluation for each of the three highest traffic assignments should evaluate significant <br />impacts. In this case, each of the three routes (N,S,�p) can accomodate the "worst" case traffic <br />without decreasing service levels. Theincreased volumes of the traffic generated are "new" <br />intersecting trips of the shopping center onHighway 99, but studies show 70-80% are new road- <br />way trips. <br />I` The traffic signal estimate of Dec. 1978 was made assuming the shopping center driveway at <br />I lOth St. would align with E-W thru movements. The driveway shown does not align with 10 and <br />`'`��'.+'�_:_':�;; at a skew with Broadway, but is perpendicular to Broadway. Carrying the E-W lOth St. <br />� alignment through to the driveway would provide linear E-W travel and facilitate the majority <br />south iraffic with an easier iurn. The sharper angl� tor 5B-E8 Iefts wil! nat receive signiiicant <br />use with the northern driveway. Agreement bet�veen the City and developer for the driveway <br />- alignment and channelization treatment for the driveway and complementing intersection <br />western leg should be made prior to development approval. <br />The northem driveway lane widths shown on the sl<etch and in the text are not in agreement. A <br />wider than !0 ft. right turn curb exiting lane would be more functional in the same manner as <br />the wide 15 foot inbound receiving lane serving turning traffic. <br />An approximate 12 mocth lead time will be needed for design, specification, bid, contract and <br />construction of the 1Qtli St. sigN. The specific means of developer retribution for the signa! <br />installation costs should be agreed to prio� to plan approval. The "grand opening" could <br />require uniformed manual traffic control ior aiternoon and evening weekday hours dcpending <br />on the time and size of the scheduled opening. A uniformed (police type) person(s) trained in <br />traffic control would manually dircc .-aific at lOth St. and possibly the northern driveway <br />weckday atternoons and evenings during thc first days of opening (Wed-Sat (11-G)). <br />^ The developer would be responsible for this traffic control with the Traffic Engincer's approval. <br />
