o Bob Landles Ron M. Cameron`s c,.,E June 28, 1978 rE Reininga Shopping Center at 75th St. and Evergreen Way. CITY OF EVE HEIT. EVEHETT, Yi A r H ING TON IV. Mitigating Measures 1. Increasing attractiveness of accessibility through the signalized Evergreen Way driveway will decrease hazard exposure and congestion on 75th Street. Signalizing it will provide safety as well as the required capacity. 2. A paved pathway providing for pedestrian movement along 75th Street between the Center and Beverly Blvd. is required to reduce the increased pedestrian -vehicle hazard created by the Center. The Center is the sole contributor to this hazard and should be responsible for its reduction. 3. A similar improvement including curb and sidewalk is necessary along the Evergreen Way and 75th Street frontage. This is no different than the Fred Meyer improvements made by Fred Meyer along Evergreen and Casino. 4. The 75th Street frontage should have only the two original driveways shown and be geometrically improved to facilitate safe traffic movement. 5. 75th Street frontage should be widened and improved to required capacity demands with the center providing any necessary ROW. 6. Driveway designs of the two on 75th and signalized Evergreen design shall meet approval of the City Traffic Engineer. 7. An "Alley" access along the eastern border was discussed in Planning and Engineering meetings during the fall of 1977. This "alley" improvement would provide access to the natural drainage occurring and emergency vehicle access to the Center. Summarizing, the specific concerns includeMarger amount of traffic will be generated creating a total of about 14,000 new intersection trips. Sigflalization and channelization should be required of the developer to accomodate these new trips as well as curb, gutter, and sidewalk along Evergreen Way and 75 th Street between the Center and Beverly Blvd. These improvements will enhance the Center as did similar im- provements at Fred Meyer. They are necessary to maintain safe and efficient traffic movement. This expanded scopcEIS response is scaled to the project size and impacts. It is intended to help Everett and the Center prow together mutually serving local needs. 1.EH:R,MC:cb
