260 <br /> • Vehicle speeds are low at the intersection of New Jericho Road and Galilean Trail. New Jericho Road is unpaved <br /> north of Galilean Trail. Most traffic appeared to originate from Galilean Trail, though both routes service a few <br /> private residences. <br /> • No changes are recommended at this driveway as sight distance is adequate given practical considerations. <br /> I Middle Driveway <br /> — Looking right—no issues.Clear view of the New Jericho Road/Millhouse Road intersection. <br /> — Looking left, measured a sight distance of 750'. <br /> • This is more sight distance than any applicable design speed here could require. <br /> • The "Welcome Grades 1-8" sign (see picture in the appendix)technically obstructs an outbound driver's view to <br /> the left when the driver's eye is between 8' and 12' from the edge of travel. Driver can see through/around, but <br /> moving this sign further offset from New Jericho Road could be beneficial and recommended. <br /> I Southern Driveway <br /> — Looking right—no issues.Clear view of the New Jericho Road/Millhouse Road intersection. <br /> — Looking left, measured a sight distance of 950'. <br /> • This is more sight distance than any applicable design speed here could require. <br /> • The "Welcome Grades 1-8" sign at the Middle Driveway (see picture in the appendix) technically obstructs an <br /> outbound driver's view to the left when the driver's eye is less than 12'from the edge of travel.Since this sign is at <br /> the next driveway north, it obstructs a narrower portion of the field of view the crest of the hill near Galilean Trail. <br /> Drivers most likely would be able to see through/around it, but moving this sign further offset from New Jericho <br /> Road could be beneficial and recommended. <br /> Due to the minimal change in the number of students, the October 2014 TIA and November 2024 TMP are expected to still <br /> accurately reflect the transportation operations and conditions of the subject school and is expected to still be applicable and <br /> representative of the present conditions. As such, no additional transportation improvements are expected for the existing <br /> conditions.Sight distance analysis shows no significant deficiencies apart from moving one sign for better visibility. <br /> Due to the reasons outlined above,it is my professional opinion that the TIA dated October 31,2014,and November 2024TMP <br /> is valid, and representative of the transportation improvements needed for the school and as such, a TIA/TIA Update/TIA <br /> Addendum is not expected to be needed. Excerpts from this approved TIA and TMP are included are included in the <br /> attachments of this letter. <br /> Please let us know if you have any questions. <br /> Sincerely, ���•�-�H CARo <br /> McAdams ���0�.�•QFS51pti� <br /> _ SEAL <br /> 050502 <br /> Nate Bouquin, PE, PTOE I Traffic Engineering Lead <br /> bouquin@mcadamsco.com 1919.961.4065 �'�9��,••FNGINVE!:aS`�� <br /> .,.-1,9NlE A- <br /> 10, <br /> The John R.
