O28 Litwornia West Essex Highlands Traffic Report 82225 FINAL

Page 8 This cul-de-sac has a major emergency exit issue because there are an estimated 1500 people residing in this cul-de-sac that in an emergency would need to leave by automobile. Our traffic engineering experience is that in this situation average speed would be limited to 5 mph due to density of traffic, conflicts at intersections and spacing. The number of automobiles estimated to evacuate the residents is 1000. Given a car space is 20 feet we have a line of 20,000 feet of cars to move at 7.3 feet per second which gives a 50 minute time frame. This assumes that Oval Road to Eagle Rock is cleared by police in first few minutes of declared evacuation minimizing the intersection bottleneck. The time elapse is more likely to be up to twice that long for various reasons making the time up to 100 minutes. An RSIS cul-de-sac is limited to 1000 ADT which limits the residents and vehicles to less than 200 and thus the evacuation time from a properly designed cul-de-sac would be 10 to 20 minutes. The RSIS ADT limits were used to provide a safe community for the public. Current conditions are already dangerous. On April 27, 2025, an emergency event on Oval Road blocked Warner Road egress for all existing condo residents for up to two hours. ADA regulations require sidewalks as does the RSIS. The rules specify every 200 feet or less a 5’ wide section for passing and turning. ADA also limits sidewalks to less than 5 % slope. A ramp is above 5% but ADA limits to 8.3%. Road slopes are at or near 10% and sidewalks along these roads will not be ADA compliant on any of the proposed roads in this application. This is a major safety issue for handicapped residents who by the regulations are required to have access to all the site facilities. All of the RSIS high density housing requires sidewalks on both sides of the street. The lack of sidewalks creates a severe hazard for pedestrians. Site Parking Analysis RSIS requires parking for each residential unit. For 1 bedroom units it is 1.8 parking spots per unit, for 2 bedroom units it is 2 parking spots per unit and for 3 bedroom units it’s 2.1 parking spaces per unit. The 1 bedroom units are balanced by the 3 bedroom units 2.1 parking spots per unit. RSIS also requires 0.5 spots per residential unit for visitors. We used 1.9 parking spaces for all units for this analysis. We computed the spaces required by the units in each

parking spots per unit. RSIS also requires 0.5 spots per residential unit for visitors. We used 1.9 parking spaces for all units for this analysis. We computed the spaces required by the units in each building adding resident’s requirement to visitor’s requirement. We then counted all the parking spaces shown in the drawings. We then computed the required spaces and compared that total to the provided spaces. There are 4 buildings with residential units and we find all 4 meet the RSIS requirement as shown on SP-3 of the most recent engineering drawing set. We are in agreement with the CME assessment of parking including the deficiency of EV spaces. Recent regulations require 15% of the parking be “make ready for future installation and 1/3 of them operational EV stations. This would prevent tandem parking.
