------- • 036 I COmbilwaArma ADDENDUM TO SEDGEWOOD APARTMENTS TRAFFIC IMPACT ANALYSIS • This addendum to the Traffic Impact Analysis originally submitted in August, 1984, addresses the traffic impact of the revised development plan. The plan was revised by the developer to meet concerns raised by the Town of Chapel Hill planning staff in their courtesy review of the development. The principal change to the plan that would affect traffic is the revision to the project's external access. While the original proposal had one access point on NC 86 via Lochwood Drive and one access, point on Weaver Dairy Road, the revised plan has two access points on Weaver Dairy Road. This revision was based on the • desire of Chapel Hill to limit access points on NC 86 and to have all access to a • .development on one thoroughfare. This addendum includes revised Sections V through VII, since sections I through IV of the original report would not change. Figures 2, 3, and 4 have also been revised and are included in the addendum. It should also be noted that the signalization and installation of turn lanes at NC 86 and Weaver Dairy Road has been completed and has significantly reduced congestion in that area. • V. TRAFFIC DISTRIBUTION AND ASSIGNMENT The trip ends estimated in Section 1V were assigned to the streets and thoroughfares serving the proposed project. The distribution of trips by direction as shown in Figure 1 was derived from existing travel patterns, • projected future travel patterns, and the spatial distribution of employment and other travel opportunities in the Research Triangle area. • Figure 3 shows existing (1984) average daily and P.M. peak hour traffic on • the existing major thoroughfare system serving the project. Also shown are the additional traffic volumes that would be added by Sedgewood Apartments and by other approved developments in the vicinity. Figure 4 shows traffic volumes that would occur when 1-40 is completed. -1- •
