Proposed Access and Transportation Network Improvements <br /> The existing main school campus will access New Jericho Road via four access ways. A Traffic Impact <br /> Analysis (TIA) and Traffic Management Plan (TMP) was completed in 2014 as part of the 2015 SUP and <br /> was based on a student enrollment of 350. Another Traffic Management Plan was completed in November <br /> 2024. Based on the Traffic Impact Analysis Validation letter completed by McAdam (Attachment 1), the <br /> 2014 TIA and 2024 TMP accurately reflect current school conditions and operations. As a result, no <br /> additional transportation improvements are expected. In addition, a TIA addendum for the SUP <br /> modification is not expected or needed. <br /> The master plan was previously reviewed by NCDOT in 2015. NCDOT reviewed the proposed modification <br /> and determined the proposal was not a major change from what was previously reviewed by NCDOT. As a <br /> result, no action or approval is required. <br /> Summary of Transportation Information <br /> Existing Roadway Characteristics <br /> Affected Roadway New Jericho Road Millhouse Road <br /> Type of Roadway Secondary Secondary <br /> Current Roadway 12,000 — 14,000 <br /> Capacity 10,000-19,999 <br /> Latest Traffic Volume 14,660- 15,100 8,900- 9100 <br /> Traffic Generation <br /> Number of Trips Expected to be Generated by AM Peak Hour- 372 trips <br /> Proposed Project PM Peak Hour- 211 trips <br /> Proposed Utilities <br /> The existing school campus is served via a private well and septic system.
