| | TRAFFIC STUDY COMMENTS: |
| | - IN TABLE 5, PLEASE ALSO SUMMARIZE THE EB THROUGH AND |
| | RIGHT-TURN VEHICLE QUEUE LENGTHS. THE 95TH-PERCENTILE |
| | EB RIGHT-TURN QUEUE IS EXPECTED TO BE LONGER THAN THE |
| | EXISTING STORAGE LENGTH. THE QUEUE SPILLBACK WILL ADD |
| | TO THE EB THROUGH VEHICLE QUEUE WHICH WILL FURTHER |
| | AFFECT VEHICLES EXITING THE DRIVEWAYS. ALSO, THE WB |
| | LEFT-TURN QUEUE IS SHOWN AS GREATER THAN 2,000 FEET |
| | DURING PM PEAK HOUR. PLEASE VERIFY AND REVISE. |
| | - INDICATE THE SOURCE OF THE CRASH DATA. |
| | - ON PAGE 12 UNDER CRASH DATA REVIEW, SOME OF THE |
| | CRASHES ON THE WEST LEG OF 45TH STREET APPROACHING THE |
| | INTERSECTION ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE SUMMARY. FOR |
| | EXAMPLE, THE "NORTH LEFT REAR" AND "NORTH-EAST RIGHT |
| | ANGLE" CRASHES APPEARED TO INVOLVE VEHICLES EXITING THE |
| | EXISTING SITE DRIVEWAY, BUT ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE |
| | SUMMARY. PLEASE VERIFY AND REVISE. |
| | - IN THE VOLUME DEVELOPMENT SHEET FOR 45TH |
| | STREET/MEDIAN OPENING DRIVEWAY AND 45TH STREET/MILITARY |
| | TRAIL, THE BACKGROUND GROWTH FOR AM PEAK HOUR IS NOT |
| | THE MAXIMUM OF "COMMITTED + 1% GROWTH" OR "HISTORIC |
| | GROWTH". PLEASE REVISE. |
| | - IN THE VOLUME DEVELOPMENT SHEET FOR 45TH |
| | STREET/MEDIAN OPENING DRIVEWAY, INCLUDE VEHICULAR |
| | PASS-BY TRIP REDUCTION FOR THROUGH VOLUMES ALONG 45TH |
| | STREET. |
| | - IN THE ATTACHMENTS, THE HCM ANALYSES WITH PROPOSED |
| | SECOND NB RIGHT-TURN LANE AT 45TH STREET/MILITARY TRAIL |
| | ARE INCLUDED. PLEASE CLARIFY IF THE DEVELOPER PROPOSES |
| | TO MAKE THIS IMPROVEMENT. IF SO, PLEASE DISCUSS IN THE |
| | REPORT. |
| | - THE GREEN TIMES USED IN THE HCM ANALYSIS AT 45TH |
| | STREET/MILITARY TRAIL DURING PM PEAK HOUR ARE NOT |
| | CONSISTENT WITH THE TIMING SHEET. FOR EXAMPLE, A GREEN |
| | TIME OF 40 SECONDS WAS USED FOR THE EB LEFT-TURN |
| | MOVEMENT WHILE THE TIMING SHEET SHOWS 17 SECONDS; A |
| | GREEN TIME OF 17 SECONDS WAS USED FOR THE WB LEFT-TURN |
| | MOVEMENT WHILE THE TIMING SHEET SHOWS 40 SECONDS. |
| | PLEASE REVISE. PLEASE ALSO REVISE THE QUEUING ANALYSIS |
| | WITH THE REVISED GREEN TIMES. |
| | - ALTHOUGH THE CRASH FREQUENCY AT THE EXISTING |
| | DRIVEWAYS IS NOT HIGHER THAN OTHER FACILITIES OF |
| | SIMILAR TYPE BASED ON HISTORICAL CRASH DATA, THE |
| | VEHICULAR VOLUMES AT THE DRIVEWAYS ARE EXPECTED TO |
| | INCREASE OVER 31% WITH THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT. THE |
| | CRASH FREQUENCY MAY CHANGE WITH THE PROPOSED |
| | DEVELOPMENT. |
| | - COORDINATE WITH FDOT AND CONSTRUCT A DIRECTIONAL |
| | MEDIAN OPENING AT THE SOUTHERNMOST DRIVEWAY ON MILITARY |
| | TRAIL. THIS WILL ELIMINATE APPROXIMATELY 70 NB U-TURN |
| | VEHICLES PER HOUR AT 45TH STREET/MILITARY TRAIL AND |
| | IMPROVE INTERSECTION OPERATIONS. PROVIDE FDOT DRIVEWAY |
| | PERMIT/PRE-APPLICATION APPROVAL ASSOCIATED WITH THIS |
| | IMPROVEMENT. |
| | - THE NB LEFT-TURN MOVEMENT AT 45TH STREET/MEDIAN |
| | OPENING DRIVEWAY IS EXPECTED TO HAVE A DELAY OF OVER |
| | 3.5 MINUTES PER THE ANALYSES. DRIVERS MAY BECOME |
| | IMPATIENT AND TAKE SMALLER GAPS TO MAKE THAT MANEUVER, |
| | CAUSING SAFETY CONCERN. PLEASE CONDUCT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL |
| | WARRANT ANALYSIS AT 45TH STREET/MEDIAN OPENING DRIVEWAY |
| | FOR BOTH SCENARIOS WITH AND WITHOUT THE EASTERNMOST |
| | DRIVEWAY. FOR THE SCENARIO WITHOUT THE EASTERNMOST |
| | DRIVEWAY, THE VEHICULAR TRAFFIC VOLUMES USING THE |
| | EASTERNMOST DRIVEWAY WOULD BE REDIRECTED TO THE MAIN |
| | DRIVEWAY. THIS SHOULD BE REFLECTED IN THE SIGNAL |
| | WARRANT ANALYSIS. SHOULD PALM BEACH COUNTY DETERMINE |
| | THAT A TRAFFIC SIGNAL IS WARRANTED, THE DEVELOPER MAY |
| | BE REQUIRED TO REMOVE THE EASTERNMOST DRIVEWAY. |
| | SITE PLAN COMMENTS: |
| | - PROVIDE DIRECT ACCESSIBLE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION |
| | BETWEEN THE FAST FOOD RESTAURANT AND THE EXISTING |
| | RETAIL BUILDING, BETWEEN THE EXISTING BANK AND EXISTING |
| | RETAIL BUILDING, AND BETWEEN THE PROPOSED BUS STOP AND |
| | THE EXISTING RETAIL BUILDING. NARROW THE INTERNAL |
| | ROADWAY CONNECTING TO THE EASTERNMOST DRIVEWAY AND |
| | PROVIDE WIDER SIDEWALK FOR THE PEDESTRIAN CONNECTION |
| | FROM/TO THE PROPOSED BUS STOP. |
| | - PROVIDE CROSS ACCESS EASEMENT FOR FUTURE VEHICLE |
| | CONNECTION POINT TO THE PROPERTY TO THE WEST PER CODE |
| | SECTION 94-312(2)C, AND INDICATE ON THE SITE PLAN THE |
| | LOCATION OF THE PROPOSED CROSS ACCESS EASEMENT. |
