Traffic Impact Study Proposed Automotive Service and Retail Center – West Orange, NJ INTRODUCTION It is proposed to construct a Mavis automotive service and retail center on a parcel of land currently developed with an office building, located along the northbound side of Prospect Avenue (CR 577) in West Orange Township, Essex County, New Jersey (see Figure 1 in Appendix A). The site is designated as Block 105 – Lot 64.01 on the Township of West Orange Tax Maps. It is proposed to raze the existing site and construct a 6,205 SF Mavis Tire store (inclusive of 1,142 SF of retail space) with 7 service bays (“The Project”). It is noted that the proposed Mavis is being relocated from its prior location within the West Orange Plaza located at 235 Prospect Avenue. Access to the site is currently provided via a right in/right out driveway along Prospect Avenue and a shared driveway with the neighboring property to the south, known as Blueberry Bend which also provides access to Prospect Avenue. It is proposed to reconstruct the existing Prospect Avenue driveway and it is anticipated that Essex County will ultimately require signage and striping improvements at Blueberry Bend to further delineate it as a right-in/right-out access point. Dynamic Traffic LLC has been retained to prepare this study to assess the traffic impact associated with the construction of The Project on the adjacent roadway network. This study documents the methodology, analyses, findings and conclusions of our study and includes:  A detailed inspection was conducted to obtain an inventory of existing roadway geometry, traffic control, and location and geometry of existing driveways and intersections.  Existing traffic data was collected via turning movement counts (TMC) during the weekday morning, weekday evening, and Saturday midday peak periods at the intersections of: o Prospect Avenue (CR 577) and Rooney Circle / Shopping Center Driveway o Prospect Avenue (CR 577) and Blueberry Bend Driveway o Prospect Avenue (CR 577) and Site Driveway  Projections of traffic to be generated by the proposed development were prepared utilizing trip generation data as published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Site traffic was then

tions of traffic to be generated by the proposed development were prepared utilizing trip generation data as published by the Institute of Transportation Engineers. Site traffic was then assigned to the adjacent street system based upon the anticipated directional distribution.  Capacity analyses were conducted for the Existing, No Build, and Build conditions for the study intersections.  The proposed points of ingress and egress were inspected for adequacy of geometric design, spacing and/or alignment to streets and driveways on the opposite side of the street, relationship to other driveways adjacent to the development, and conformance with accepted design standards.  The site plan as designed was reviewed for sufficiency in accommodating large wheel base vehicles such as delivery trucks, refuse trucks, and emergency vehicles.  The parking layout and supply was assessed based on accepted design standards, local requirements, and demand experienced at similar developments.
