We have reviewed the potential redevelopment sites and have reviewed the Traffic Study, Five Intersections on Roosevelt Avenue, dated July 31, 2001. The purpose of this extra work is to assess the traffic impacts of the redevelopment areas in the vicinity of Roosevelt Avenue and detennine the impact to the Roosevelt Avenue bridge over the NJ Turnpike, in relation to the Industrial Road connection to the Turnpike. Scope of Work The foJJowing tasks describe the Scope of Work involved in: Task 1 - Define the Study Area Boundaries/Develop Base Map The area of focus of the work ",iJJ include: · Roosevelt Avenue (between Driftway and the Woodbridge border) · Minue Street from Roosevelt Avenue to Federal Boulevard · Federal Boulevard from Blair Street to Minue Street · Blair Street from Federal Boulevard to Roosevelt Avenue The foJJowing intersections wiJJ be included in our analysis: · Roosevelt Avenue with Minue Street · Roosevelt A venue with Pekola Terrace/Frederick Street · Roosevelt Avenue with Orchard Street · Roosevelt A venue with Blair Road · Minue Street with Bryla Street/Federal Boulcvard · Blair Road with Federal Boulevard/Omar Avcnue · Blair Road with Milik Street 0< }'Y' ý> ^1?Y~) (l1f C\:rrO(? ---_._-----------"..~.- _._----------,-~-~._--------------_.- ~._~~----~_._._-- ..._-~_.~----------_..- -aM ASSOCIATES Sheet 2 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 Diagrams will be drawn for use in summarizing the traffic data and identify the potential development sites within the study area. Deliverable: A digital image of the most recent aerial photograph of the study area will be used to establish the street names, existing properties, existing traffic control devises and identify he boundary of the study area. This aerial photograph will be developed as the "base map" and used throughout the study to summarize appropriate information. Task 2 - Review of Existing Reports and Plans Reports and/or plans provided by the Borough will be reviewed in order to asscss the future traffic condition along the study roadways. The future conditions will be based upon the following redevelopment parcels: · 5-Acre Site on Roosevelt between Orchard and Pekola · 55-Acre Site on Roosevelt between Pekola and Minue - Shopping Center (550 KSF Retail) · 90-Acre Site along Federal from Minue to Blair - 1,400-unit, age-restricted village 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 contained within available reports will be summarized in graphieal form 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 form for review and comment and ultimately incorporated as a chapter in the final report. Task 3 - Review Existing Transportation Deficiencies The existing transportation operational analyses of the capacity of the eXlstmg transportation infrastructure as prepared by others for various studies throughout the study roadway network will be reviewed. We will summarize the existing capacity and accessibility of the corridor. The recommended capacity improvements at various 10cations throughout the study roadway network will be identified. Our focus will be on the Roosevelt Bridge over the NJ Turnpike and the intersection of Roosevelt/Minue/Post. We will determine the capacity deficiencies of these parts of the infrastructure. Deliverable: A chapter of the report wiJJ be prepared to summarize the findings of this task. A draft will be pæpared for review and comment. The final version wi]] address comments and be included as a chapter in the final report document. 1mM ASSOCIATES Sheet 3 of 5 CART-OI270 September 15, 2005 Le: Mayor Daniel Reiman Borough of Carteret Re: Redevelopment Traffic Impact Analysis Industrial Road Transportation Master Plan, Phase II Task 4 - Traffic Impacts of Future Development Scenario The traffic impacts of the future development scenario wi]] be assessed. We wi]] meet with the Plmmer, Beacon, to diseuss the proposed redevelopment scenarios and gather and review information about the plmmed and proposed developments in the study area. The information that wi]] be summarized from these reports will include proposed square footage by Iand 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''' 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 - Adjacent Development Impacts Other developments outside the immediate study area that would 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 wi]] 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 traffie 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 wi]] address comments and be included as a chapter in the final report document. Task 6 - Future Roadway Access Scenario The plmmed and proposed roadway improvements within the study area wi]] be identified. This will include the proposed improvements to the Turnpikc interchange. We wi]] analyze future traffic with these improvements. Based upon our analysis of the future traffic under these interim improvement conditions, additional recommendations will be made for the configuration and traffic control of the study intersections. Proposed roadway and intersection improvements will impact the overa]] circulation and traffic distribution patterns within the study area. These improvements will be accounted for in the future traffic conditions. Traffic flow diagratTIS will be created to show the distribution of the trips by the planned and proposed developments under the future roadway configurations added to the existing base traffic conditions. 11M ASSDCI,A.TE5 Sheet 4 of 5 CART-Ol270 September 15, 2005 Le: Mayor Daniel Reiman Borough of Carteret Re: Redevelopment Traffic Impact Analysis Industrial Road Transportation Master Plan, Phase 1I Deliverable: The findings of this task will be prepared in draft format for review and comment. The final version will address comments and be inc1uded 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 speeial 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 anaIysis. 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 eirculation network. The benefits of the recommendations will l) serve the transportation demand, 2) baIance 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 inc1uded 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 eost 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 c1earing and utility relocation. Deliverable: A chapter of the report inc1uding the cost estimate tables summarizing this task will be prepared in draft format for review and comment. The final version will address comments and be inc1uded as a chapter in the final report document. -aM 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 II Task 9 - Develop Report The product of the work effort described in this Scope of Work will be summarized in the report.
