This aerial photograph will be developed àS the "'bàSe map" and used throughout the study to summarize appropriate information. Task 2 - Review of Existim! Reports and Plans Reports and/or plans provided by the Borough will be reviewed in order to assess the future traffic condition along the study roadways. The future conditions wi]] be based upon the following redevelopment parcels: . 5-Acre Site on Roosevelt between Orchard and Pekola , 55-Acre Site on Roosevelt between Pek.ola and Minue - Shopping Center (550 KSF Retail) -. 90-Acre Site along Federal from Minue to Blair - 1,400-UlÚt, age-restricted vi1lage with 9- hole golf course or a pharmaceutical campus . 33-Acre Saint Gobain Site No new traffic data will be collected under this project. The data containcd within available reports wiJl be summarized in graphical fonn to be used in developing the future traffic conditions. Deliverable: A chapter of the final report will be prepared with tables and figures to summarize the information gathered in this task, This chapter will be prepared in draft fonn for review and comment and ultimately incorporated as a chapter in the final report. Task 3 - Review Existinlz Transtlortation Deficiencies The existing transportation operational analyses of the capacity of the existing transportatíoJ1 infrastructure as prepared by others for various studies throughout the study roadway network will be reviewed. We will SUInII1IIrize the existing capacity and accessibility of the corridor. The recommended capacity improvements at various locations throughout the study roadway network ill be identitied. Our focus will be on the Roosevelt Bridge over the NJ Turnpike and the -mtersection of RooseveltIMinue/Post. We will detennine the capacity deficiencies of these parts of the intÌ'astructure.

We will meet with the Planner, Beacon, to discuss the proposed redevelopment scenarios and gather and review information about the planned and proposed developments in the study area. The information that will be summarized from these reports will include proposed square footage by land use type, number of residential units, proposed completion year, any proposed traffic operation modifications or improvements, trip distribution, and vehicular trip generation reductions due to other transportation modes. We will use the Institute of Transportation Engineers 7'h Edition of the Trip Generation manual to determine the weekday AM and PM peak hour trips generated by each site. We will distribute the trips generated by each of the developments along the study roadway network. Deliverable: The findings of this task will be prepared in draft format for review and comment. The final version will address comments and be included as a chapter in the final report document. Task 5 - Adiacent Development Impacts Other developments outside the immediate study area that wouJd create a traffic impact on the future traffic conditions within the study area will be identified. In order to account for these developments, a background growth factor will be applied to the existing traffic volumes to account for other development trips passing through the study area. This background growth factor would be applied to the through traffic along study roadways to account for the trips from these adjacent developments outside the study area passing through on Roosevelt Avenue. Deliverable: The findings of this task will be prepared in draft format for review and comment. The final version will address comments and be included as a chapter in the final report document. Task 6 - Future Roadwav Access Scenario The planned and proposed roadway improvements within the study area will be identified. This will include the proposed improvements to the Turnpike interchange. We will analyze futurc traffic with these improvements. Based upon our analysis ofthc future traffic under these interim ,- improvement conditions, additional recommendations will be made for the configuration and traffic control of the study interscctions. Proposed roadway and intersection improvements will impact the overall circulation and traffic distribution patterns within thc study area. Thcse improvements will be accounted for in thc future traffic conditions. Traffic flow diagrams will bc created to show the distribution of the trips by the planncd and proposcd developments under thc future roadway configurati ons addcd to thc cxisting base traffic conditions. -aM ASSOCIATES Sheet 4 of 5 CART-01270 September 15, 2005 Le: Mayor Daniel Reiman Borough of Carteret Re: Redevelopment Traffic Impact Analysis Indusrrial Road Transportation Master Plan, Phase 11 Deliverable: The findings of this task will be prepared in draft format for review and comment. The final version will address comments and be included as a chapter in the final report document. Traffic flow diagrams will be prepared. These diagrams will summarize the future traffic volumes for the weekday AM and PM peak hours. Task 7 - Recommendations Based upon the results of the previous tasks, we will develop and prioritize the recommended improvements based upon the traffic demand. The proposed improvements will be categorized into "near-term" and "long-term" solutions. The "near-term" solutions will be those recommended improvements that are already approved, funded and designed, but will not be completed within the next 5 years. The "long-term" solutions are considered to be completed in more than 10 years and may require right of way acquisition and may require special permits. We will use tax maps provided by the Borough to evaluate the available roadway widths and designate which properties will be impacted. We will quantify these improvements by category. The impacts of each category of improvement on the overall roadway network will be quantified with a Level of Service analysis. The analysis developed for this project will be limited to the weekday AM and PM peak hours. Traffic flow diagrams will be created to summarize the existing traffic volumes for the typical weekday AM and PM peak hours. The result of this task will be a compilation of the "near-term" and "long-term" transportation solutions and the impacts of these improvements on the overall transportation circulation network. The benefits of the recommendations will 1) serve the transportation demand, 2) balance system capacity with travel demand, and 3) provide effective connections to the required transportation system. Deliverable: A report chapter summarizing the findings of this task will be prepared in draft format for review and comment. The final version will address comments and be included as a chapter in the final report document. Task 8 - Cost Estimates We will develop cost estimates for the proposed improvements recommended in the report. The cost estimates will be based upon our knowledge and past experience with similar types of projects. Percentage of the entire cost estimate will be used to estimate the cost of right of way acquisition, drainage, design, permits, site clearing and utility relocation. Deliverable: A chapter of the report including the cost estimate tables summarizing this task will be prepared in draft format for review and comment. The final version will adàress comments and be included as a chapter in the final report document, ~M I~ ASSOCIATES Sheet 5 of 5 CART-01270 September 15, 2005 Le: Mayor Daniel Reiman Borough of Carteret Re: Redevelopment Traffic Impact Analysis Industrial Road Transportation Master Plan, Phase 11 Task 9 - Develop Report The product of the work effort described in this Scope of Work will be summarized in the report.
