Y. Bob Landles Pon Mi. C?xneron June 26, 1978 Reinir,ga Shopping Center at 75th Street and Evergreen WayrroF EVEFETT. EVENETT, wasMincrou The reassignment of trips was made considering the affecting local factors discussed in the first section.. Tiiey result in new intersection turning movement volumes at the driveways. A higher amount of traffic will be oriented to or from the south doing business at the other local retail development, coming or going via SR 526, or generated by the extensive new residential expansion taking place south of 75 Street. Traffic to and from the north will be smaller because it travels via SR 5 and SR 526 to Evergreen or to/from the Mall combining shopping trips. Traffic oriented toward 19 SE or the 'Mall can use 75 St, Beverly Blvd, and S Broadway as an alternative southern trip route and is shown as estimated 5%. Travel to the west has a faster path via the free right -(out -bound) at SR 526 and then via 20 Ave W (new connections) or the speedway to Mukilteo. The newly planned 5,000 home Chevron property development will increase the SR 526 western volume. ilI. Projected traffic operation concerng impacts that will require resolution include: 1. The western driveway on Evergreen Way will require signalization to accomadate traffic movinPP��wit e-spmmercial area as well as employee and service trips. At least 35%�'b th 14,000�ips can be expected to use this access point resulting in an approach volumepf' .-4 U-ilo-hvergreen Way. This volume meets signal warrants. Tne Evergreen driveway and center design should encourage traffic to use 'this access rather than 75 St. reducing total intersection trip increases. 2. The additional 1750 trips on 75 St between Bevery Blvd and the center will endanger pedestrian travel along this route. Signalization of 75 St and Beverly Blvd. could be required depending on additional traffic being generated. Total volume on this leg of 75 St will approach" VPD. rFin. QOOO 3. The west side of 75 St. between Beverly Lane and Evergreen will be impac,:ed but not as severely as the east side: = - • 4. 75 St along &e Center froth age will be subject to queuing and" Masse'd turning movements without geometric control. Conflicts between the high volume gas station on the north, \�% 75 St. traflic,�and Center traffic will occur without major improvements. (1, •),.. -5. The western most- driveway -on _75 St. will result in 5B left turVraffic driving across -,two to three lanes rather than merging smoothly -across.: Particular hazard would be created Sy this driveway for NB free,right turn traffic and the SB lefts. This driveway could segue the center but would create hazard on 75 Street. It was not shown on the original plan. t 6. Widening 75 ST would provide easier access to the center at the cost of additional crossing time for✓ vehicles arrd pedestrians: '75 St volumes in 'ioA of the center would include at least ihalf oq the newly grnerated-V(esf arid-norttrtrsffie - 2100 of the :14,000 trips.

Abcut half of the traffic traveling this portion of 75 St would be involved In center driveway turning manuevers. The high 1V% of turning manuevers is not of contributory to high vehicle accident rates but�als aarcera��as increases dangers pedestrians. `
