Traffic Impact Statement Dated 10 14 25

FUTURE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS FUTURE TRAFFIC VOLUMES To account for other developments in the area that could occur in the near future, the existing traffic volumes were increased by 1.75% per year along Main Street and 1.0% per year along Prospect Place, Kling Street, and Erwin Place over a projected two-year development build-out horizon. This projected increase creates a projection of future traffic conditions that would occur if the site were to remain unchanged and simply re-tenanted. This background traffic growth rate is consistent with the current estimate for urban minor arterials and urban local roadways, respectively, in Essex County as published by the NJDOT in November 2023 and is used to develop the “no-build” traffic volumes shown in Figures 5a, 5b and 5c. Finally, future “build” traffic volumes were established by surcharging the new, site-generated traffic volumes onto the future “no-build” traffic volumes. The resulting future “build” traffic volumes are shown on Figures 6a, 6b and 6c. FUTURE TRAFFIC ANALYSIS Updated Level of Service analyses were performed for the “no-build” and “build” volumes. Based on an analysis of these future conditions, the site redevelopment will have a nominal impact on the adjacent intersections. All movements at study intersections will continue to operate at Level of Service “C” or better during both peak hours with the exception of the Kling Street westbound movement which will operate at Level of Service “E” in the morning peak hour and Level of Service “D” in the evening and Saturday peak hours in the no-build condition and Level of Service “E” during all peak hours in the Build condition. The proposed site driveways will operate efficiently with minimal delay at Level of Service “C” or better. As shown, based on this very conservative analysis, the proposed redevelopment from retail stores to a grocery store will essentially have no negative traffic impact to the surrounding roadway traffic conditions.
