162 <br /> DRAFT <br /> 493 Hwy 54.White Cross is therefore a main artery from the Greensboro highway to Hwy 54. My question is that the level of <br /> 494 service was rated an A, but it was unclear what the projected traffic was going to look like in 2024. <br /> 495 <br /> 496 Bob Hornik- For which section of road? <br /> 497 <br /> 498 Beth Bronson-One for the parcel itself, so one for the business itself...the numbers that they generated for the projected <br /> 499 traffic. <br /> 500 <br /> 501 Bob Hornik- I know there was a trip generation which I want to say was 31 in the AM peak hour and 83 in the PM peak <br /> 502 hour. <br /> 503 <br /> 504 Beth Bronson- It looked like the existing characteristics were listed as a level of service A. If you actually look at the level <br /> 505 of service A, it describes free-flowing operations. <br /> 506 <br /> 507 Bob Hornik-Like in school, an A is pretty good. <br /> 508 <br /> 509 Beth Bronson-So there is no need for any kind of consideration because there's no stopping of traffic.When I'm looking <br /> 510 at the existing traffic in that area, actually turning left or right off that road onto Hwy 54 or turning left off of 54 onto that <br /> 511 road is not necessarily represented in this traffic impact analysis so I wanted to know if anyone could speak to the <br /> 512 conditions under which they did the observation? I know that there is an algorithm in their appendix but it's very <br /> 513 confusing so I didn't know if anyone could describe that? <br /> 514 <br /> 515 Bob Hornik- I can't really speak to that. I know that the TIA was scoped before it was done, it was reviewed by NCDOT, <br /> 516 and DeAngelo reviewed it and said it was satisfactory to NCDOT. We made the plan modification that NCDOT asked us <br /> 517 to make with the right turn lane. <br /> 518 <br /> 519 Beth Bronson-So, the right turn lane off of 54 onto White Cross,was not part of the plan. The site plan of the applicant <br /> 520 specifies 100 feet, right turn lane, off of... <br /> 521 <br /> 522 Bob Hornik-White Cross into the parking lot. <br /> 523 <br /> 524 Beth Bronson-The easement, of the highway, so that 100 feet would include some of what the DOT's easement exists <br /> 525 already. <br /> 526 <br /> 527 Bob Hornik- I think it's probably all the NC DOT right of way. If it's not all, then it's a good part of it is, the right turn lane. <br /> 528 <br /> 529 Beth Bronson- Would that business also have a right of way because it was zoned originally as a business? <br /> 530 <br /> 531 Bob Hornik- I'm confused by that question. <br /> 532 <br /> 533 Beth Bronson- It's probably not significant. I think my question has to do with the fact that what the traffic analysis has <br /> 534 recommended is a 100 foot, right turn lane off of White Cross. However,there's and maybe this is just my perception of <br /> 535 measurement, but there's not even 100 feet of a right turn lane off at 54 into White Cross. So,what you're asking is that <br /> 536 people coming down 54, eastbound are going to have to, if they,this projected 31 AM, and 83 PM peak... <br /> 537 <br /> 538 Bob Hornik-They would have to make a right and then make a right. <br /> 539 <br /> 540 Beth Bronson-Yes, they would have to make a right and then make a right,or they have to make a left and then make a <br /> 541 left.To me it seems like those numbers are combined. It looks like total daily. <br /> 542 <br /> 543 Bob Hornik- I can't answer what I understand your question to be. I wish I could. <br /> 544 <br /> 545 Beth Bronson-Yeah, I think my question is that,was this impact analysis done using 2021 numbers? If so,then they <br /> 546 were not necessarily an accurate description of how many commuters during AM and PM peak hours were actually <br />
