Hamal Associates, Inc. Traffic and Transportation Consulting Mr. Moshe Sugar -2- January 12, 2024 Main Street is a County roadway (Co. Rt. 659) that follows a north-south alignment in the vicinity of Park Drive N/S. Although Main Street is striped as two lanes in each direction, the presence of permitted parking (2 hour limit, 8am — 8pm, Mon-Sat) along each curbline reduces the usable roadway to a wide’single travel lane each way. Along the site’s Main Street frontage, the roadway is 46 feet wide with an unposted 25 mph speed limit in effect. In addition to the residential and commercial uses present in the area, The Washington Elementary School and Edison Middle School are located a short distance to the south of the site. NJ Transit bus service is provided along Main Street and at the nearby Mississippi bus station loop. B. Traffic Projections Traffic projections were prepared based on the 12 unit residential apartment use and 900 sf commercial space proposed for the site. These projected volumes were compiled for the weekday um and pm street peak hours of operation and inbound/outbound traffic patterns. As the commercial space use is not known, its peak hour trip generation was identified for two alternative, permitted uses; retail and office. The traffic volume projections were based on trip generation rates developed by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) and as published in their text, Trip Generation Manual — 11" Edition (Land Use Code 4220: Multifamily Housing (Low-Rise), LUC #822: Strip Retail Plaza <40k, LUC #712: Small Office Building <10K — See Appendix pages A-1, 2, 3). It is noted that the NJ Residential Site Improvement Standards (RSIS) require the use of the ITE Trip Generation publication for calculating peak hour trips for any residential land use. Table 1 summarizes the negligible magnitude of projected weekday peak hour trip generation for the several uses. The residential apartments will generate 5 am and 6 pm peak hour trips. The retail use will generate 2 am and 6 pm peak hour trips, while an office use will generate only 2 trips in each peak hour. All trips are a total two-way flow (in/out). The residential/retail combination equals 7 am and 12 pm peak hour trips. The residential/office mix results in 7 am and 8 pm peak heur trips. The calculated peak hour trip generation for each scenario are too smail to have any

ination equals 7 am and 12 pm peak hour trips. The residential/office mix results in 7 am and 8 pm peak heur trips. The calculated peak hour trip generation for each scenario are too smail to have any perceptible traffic impact at any intersection location. On an average basis, it is equivalent to one (1) vehicle entering or exiting the site every 5-9 minutes, in either the am or pm peak hours. No trip reductions have been applied for use of nearby mass transit.
