"' Foursquare Church at Madison School °° Ron Came�^on ''" April 5, 1983 '"""`� comments on approval process and traffic issues �� There are a number of traffic safety and flow concerns for the implementation of using the school for the church. None �re significant enough to raise a particular denial alarm but should be professionally addressed in carrying the process through. The neighborhood hearing reviews i�ientioned by Larry C are an excellent means of i�esolving the various parking, traffic flow, ped movement, and access between the on site parking anci the streets. There are a number of issues including access from the site for the 500 parked vehicles to the various adjacent/nearby arterials would a site plan with a single main driveway on Madison be the satisfactory access means, time for it to exit, traffic control(manual?), and therefore, not put traffic on Olympic or Highland driveways onto Olympic with a ped path between the site and 75th st to separate peak vehicle flows and residential pedestrian traffic, fielcl review indicates that it would be best on the east side except at the corner just s/o the site whee e the trees encroach onto the traveled way ; then, shoulcl there be both a nor�h(existing) �Iriveway and south driveway? A driveway onto Highland at the SE corner would allow trips orientecl toward the Beverly B. arterial travel from the site in the most direct manner an�1 would require some improvement for the street connecting the site and Beverly for ped/vehicle safety where it is currentl about 16-18 ft wide around the corners handicapped and main entrance access for regular and special services, will it come from Olympic, a new access-main drive up plan from a Madison str eet single access, or from Highland with ramps? Highland experienced parking problems during City Hall's time there even though it was posted with no parking. Bus access, van access. Each of the access alternatives should identify related traffic safety issues, such as, an Olympic access plan would have the already mentioned ped problem but the sight distance at 75th/Olympic where exiting traffic would be turning left(east) or right(west) as well as the entering left turns The time to "dump" the lot will be of concern and its trffic flow pattern to the community ad related decision makers...several access alternatives are readily identifialt and should be carried through so Foursquare has the best access/parking plan for their new facility. These issues will all be addressed by the decision process of Foursquare leaders, City s`aff, the community „ PC & Council. It would be best for Foursquare to have a Traffic Engineering consultant evaluate the alternativz access problems and advantages to carry thru. Tliis memo points out a few, access from Pladison, or Olympic, a Highlancl connection, some combination. Perhaps, doing an origin of the congregation would assist in assigning the trip routes. The purpose of these thought s is to provide assistance in developing the safest and most efficient access plan that will result in the fewest operational difficulties thr�u time.
