EXECUTIVE SUMMARY West Essex Highlands, Inc., is proposing to develop Block 179, Lot 32, located in the Township of West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey. The site is currently undeveloped. The project, upon completion will consist of the construction of 496 multifamily residential units. The site is bordered by residential land uses on all sides. Access to the development is proposed to be provided via one direct connection to Warner Road, one direct connection to Kuzik Drive which is proposed to be gated for emergency access, and an emergency access connection to Howell Drive. Note that both Warner Road and Kuzik Drive currently terminate at the site’s property limits. The proposed connections will be extensions of the existing roadways and the proposed buildings will be accessed via driveways along the internal roadway. With the emergency access drives, three points of access will be provided with two controlled for emergency use. The new roadways will be 22 feet wide with no parking and sidewalks provided. Parking lots are designed with 24 feet wide parking aisles and 9 feet by 18 feet parking spaces. Tandem parking spaces are provided which will be assigned for use by unit tenants. The site was previously evaluated for the construction of up to 683 multifamily residential units. Associated with the prior development program evaluation, Lublanecki Engineering, Inc., prepared a Traffic Impact Study (TIS), revised dated November 1, 2018. The November 2018 TIS is included Appendix F. The applicant has reduced the maximum number of proposed residential units by 187 units for a proposed total of 496 multifamily residential units. Based on our review of the November 2018 TIS, the new development program will generate less traffic than the previously evaluated development program. Accordingly, the conclusions made in the November 2018 TIS generally remain valid. This Traffic study has been prepared to update the traffic projections and analyses for the key intersections along Eagle Rock Avenue for the current development program and current traffic conditions. Langan has estimated the number of trips the proposed development would generate based on data compiled for Land Use Code 221 (Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) as contained in the publication Trip Generation, 11th edition. Accordingly, Langan estimated

ed for Land Use Code 221 (Multifamily Housing (Mid-Rise) by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) as contained in the publication Trip Generation, 11th edition. Accordingly, Langan estimated that the proposed residential development will generate approximately 207 new trips (48 enter, 159 exit) during the weekday morning peak hour and 194 trips (118 enter, 76 exit) during the weekday evening peak hour. We determined the directional distribution of the site-generated trips for the development based on an examination of existing and expected travel patterns in the study area and a review of the Traffic Impact Study, revised dated November 1, 2018, prepared by Lublanecki Engineering, Inc. We conducted updated capacity analyses and evaluated the following intersections: 1
