Josh Nyquist, Executive Director of Building OperationsApril28, 2022 <br />PACT Charter School | Traffic Impact Study tğŭĻЋЉ <br />7.The PACT Charter School may also generate special event related trips associated with the athletic <br />facilities and diverseacademicactivities. Note that the number of these special event trips may <br />range widely depending on the event and that these trips are not regularly occurring trips. <br />Therefore, these special event trips were not considered normal weekday activity and were not <br />included in the traffic forecasts and analysis for the proposed PACT Charter School development. <br />8.Results of the year 2028 Build Conditions intersection capacity analysis indicate that all study <br />intersections are expected to continue to operate at an acceptable overall LOS B or better during <br />the peak hours under existing traffic control and intersection geometrics. No significant queuing <br />or delay issues were identified,except for the Armstrong Boulevard/Alpine Drive intersection <br />where the westbound approach would continue to operate at a LOS F during the p.m. peak hour <br />(note: no PACT Charter School traffic was assigned to this westbound Alpine Drive approach). <br />9.The existing already poor operation of the westbound approach to the Armstrong <br />Boulevard/Alpine Drive intersectionis due to higher traffic volumesanduninterrupted flow on <br />Armstrong Boulevardand limited Alpine Drive approach capacity.It should be noted that no <br />PACT Charter School site-generated traffic was assigned to the westbound Alpine Drive <br />approach. It is recommended that conditions at this intersection be monitored and shouldtraffic <br />operations issues or traffic safety concerns arise;further study ofthis intersection be considered. <br />10.Results of the combined Sunday a.m. church peak hour traffic operations analysis indicate that all <br />study intersections are expected to operate at an acceptable overall LOS A during existing, 2028 <br />No-Build and 2028 Build conditions for the Sunday a.m. peak hour under existing traffic control <br />and intersection geometrics. No significant queuing or delay issues were identified in this analysis. <br />11.Vehicular access to/from the proposed site is planned at two locations on 161st Street: a primary <br />(west) site access (serves bus entry, pick-up/drop-off and staff traffic) approximately 600 feet west <br />of Variolite Street and a secondary (east) site access (serves bus exit, student drivertraffic) <br />approximately 1,150 feet west of Variolite Street. <br />12.The proposed site plan is generally well configured and based on field observations, engineering <br />judgement and applicable standards, there is adequate sight distance at theproposed site access <br />locationsto clearly identify approaching vehicles. Consideration should be made to limit any sight <br />distance impacts from future onsite structures, landscaping and signing. <br />13.Based on this proposed PACT Charter Schooltraffic impact studyit is concluded that there is <br />more than adequateroadway andintersection reserve capacity to accommodate the proposed <br />PACT Charter School site-generated trafficas forecast. <br />14.Based on the findings of this PACT Charter School traffic impact study,it is concluded that the <br />City of Ramseymay consider the proposed PACTCharter Schooldevelopment, without concern <br />that it would represent a significant negative traffic impact to the supporting area roadway system. <br />H:\\Projects\\15000\\15657\\Reports\\15657_PACT-Charter-School_TIS_220428_Draft.docx <br /> <br />
