Show all pagesTraffic Impact Study Proposed Continuing Care Retirement Community – West Orange INTRODUCTION It is proposed to replace the existing Daughters of Israel skilled nursing home with a continuing care retirement community. The site is located along the southbound side of Pleasant Valley Way (CR 636) between its intersection with N.J. Route 10 (Mount Pleasant Avenue) and Old Indian Road in the Township of West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey, see Figure 1 in Appendix A. The site is designated as Block 171 – Lot 12 on the Township of West Orange Tax Maps and is currently occupied by a 303-bed Skilled Nursing Facility. The development proposal includes the reconstruction of the nursing home facility to a continuing care retirement community that will provide the following: • 163 Independent Living Units • 64 Assisted Living Units • 84 Skilled Nursing Units Access to the site is currently provided via two (2) driveways along Pleasant Valley Way. It is proposed to maintain the existing access points. Dynamic Traffic, LLC has been retained to prepare this study to assess the traffic impact associated with the construction of The Project on the adjacent roadway network. This study documents the methodology, analyses, findings and conclusions of our study and includes: • A detailed field inspection was conducted to obtain an inventory of existing roadway geometry, traffic control, and location and geometry of existing driveways and intersections. • Existing traffic data was collected via manual turning movement (MTM) counts during the weekday AM and weekday PM peak periods at the following intersections: o N.J. Route 10 & Pleasant Valley Way o Pleasant Valley Way & Kessler Driveway o Pleasant Valley Way & North Site Driveway o Pleasant Valley Way & South Site Driveway • Projections of traffic to be generated by the proposed development were prepared utilizing trip generation data as published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Site traffic was then assigned to the adjacent street system based upon the anticipated directional distribution. • The proposed points of ingress and egress were inspected for adequacy of geometric design, spacing and/or
the adjacent street system based upon the anticipated directional distribution. • The proposed points of ingress and egress were inspected for adequacy of geometric design, spacing and/or alignment to streets and driveways on the opposite side of the street, relationship to other driveways adjacent to the development, and conformance with accepted design standards. • The site plan as designed was reviewed for sufficiency in accommodating large wheel base vehicles such as delivery trucks, refuse trucks, and emergency vehicles.
