Final Traffic Impact Analysis

INTRODUCTION This Traffic Impact Assessment has been prepared in support of a site plan application for the redevelopment of a site currently developed with two buildings that would be replaced with a new local grocery store. The site is located along southbound Main Street between Prospect Place and Erwin Place in the Township of West Orange, Essex County, New Jersey (Figure 1) as shown on the photograph below. The subject property is presently occupied by the Americana Diner and a former Walgreens pharmacy that is now closed. The proposed site redevelopment entails razing both existing buildings and constructing a partial, two-story grocery store building consisting of 13,934 square feet on the first floor for display and customer retail sales with 4,144 square feet of storage area on the second floor, for a total of 18,078 square feet. The second-floor space will not be accessible to customers and will be used for storage. Access is proposed via an ingress-only and an egress-only driveway along Main Street. Accordingly, this analysis includes the following information:  A review of the existing roadway and current traffic conditions in the vicinity of the site, including roadway configuration, traffic volumes, operations, and roadway capacities;  Projection of traffic volumes to be generated by the redevelopment based on trip generation rates as developed through published Institute of Transportation Engineers’ (ITE) research data;  An assignment of site generated traffic onto the adjacent roadway network;  An analysis of existing and future roadway and driveway capacities, considering the traffic generated by the subject site.
