INTRODUCTION

Kimley-Horn and Associates, Inc. (Kimley-Horn) was retained by Stotan Industrial to perform a traffic

impact study for a proposed industrial development located south of Winchester Pike and north of Bixby

Road in Canal Winchester, Ohio. The proposed development would replace agriculture land. The

proposed development would include four new access intersections with the existing adjacent streets.

This would include two new intersections with Bixby Road and two new intersections with Winchester

Pike. An aerial view of the study location and the surrounding roadway network is presented in Exhibit 1.

The conceptual site plan is provided in the Appendix.

As part of this study, the existing network was analyzed to determine the current and projected future

traffic operations at the study intersections. Trip generation characteristics for the proposed industrial site

were established for the new development and added to background traffic volumes to assess the site’s

impact on the area roadway network. This report presents and documents Kimley-Horn’s data collection,

summarizes the evaluation of existing and projected future traffic conditions on the surrounding

roadways, and identifies recommendations to address the potential of site-generated traffic on the

adjacent roadway network.

NO BUILD CONDITIONS

Kimley-Horn conducted a field visit to collect relevant information pertaining to existing land uses in the

surrounding area, the adjacent street system, current traffic volumes and operating conditions, lane

configurations and traffic controls at nearby intersections, and other key roadway characteristics. This

section of the report details information on these existing conditions.

Area Land Uses and Existing Roadway Characteristics

The subject site is located south of Winchester Pike just north of Bixby Road in Canal Winchester, Ohio.

The project would replace agricultural land. The immediate site vicinity generally consists of high density

residential and industrial uses. The study area for this analysis includes the following intersections:

• Winchester Pike and Site Access A

• Winchester Pike and Site Access B

• Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road

• Bixby Road and Site Access C

• Bixby Road and Rager Road

• Bixby Road and Site Access D

• US-33 and Bixby Road

Winchester Pike is a two-lane urban minor arterial in the site vicinity and provides one travel lane in each

direction. Regionally, Winchester Pike connects to US-33. At the signalized intersection with Bixby

Road/Brice Road, Winchester Pike includes turn lanes on both approaches. This roadway has a posted

speed limit of 55 miles per hour. Designated sidewalks are present on one side of Winchester Pike.

Bixby Road is a two-lane urban major collector in the site vicinity and provides one travel lane in each

direction. Regionally, Bixby Road connects to US-33. At the signalized intersection with Winchester Pike,

Bixby Road includes a left-turn lane. This roadway has a posted speed limit of 50 miles per hour. No

designated sidewalks are present on either side of Bixby Road.

Brice Road is a two-lane urban minor arterial in the site vicinity and provides one travel lane in each

direction. This roadway has a posted speed limit of 50 miles per hour. Designated sidewalks are present

at the signalized intersection with Winchester Pike.

Brice Road is a two-lane urban local road in the site vicinity and provides one travel lane in each

direction. This roadway has an unposted speed limit of 50 miles per hour. Designated sidewalks are

present on the east of Rager Road at the stop-controlled intersection with Bixby Road.

US-33 is a four-lane divided urban freeway in the site vicinity and provides two travel lane in each

direction. At the unsignalized intersection with Bixby Road, US-33 includes turn lanes on both

approaches. This roadway has a posted speed limit of 60 miles per hour. No designated sidewalks are

present on either side of US-33.

Traffic Count Data Collection

Base Traffic volumes and turning movement counts for the study intersections were obtained from recent

traffic studies performed in the site vicinity. Traffic volumes at the US-33 and Bixby Road intersection

were obtained via Canal Crossing Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study (August 31, 2021). Turning movement

7 Bixby Road Industrial Traffic Impact Study │ Canal Winchester, Ohio February 2022 │ Traffic Study

counts at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection were obtained from The Franklin County Engineer’s Office (June 18, 2019). Referenced traffic volumes and turning movement counts can be found in the Appendix and are illustrated in Exhibit 2.

Traffic Volume Adjustment Due to circumstances associated with the COVID-19 public health crisis, traffic volumes have been atypically low since mid-March 2020 and slowly increasing toward normal volumes over the past several months. COVID-19 adjustment factors were not obtained for this study since traffic data was collected prior to the COVID-19 health crisis in the United States. The 2022 and 2032 Background vehicular volumes for the study intersection are illustrated in Exhibits 3-4.

Expected Growth Traffic Assignment As development of the Central-Ohio region increases, the expected vehicular volumes are anticipated to increase as well. Linear growth rates were obtained via the Canal Crossing Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study

(December 21, 2021) and were derived based on planning level analysis by using the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission’s (MORPC) regional travel demand model. An excerpt from the Canal Crossing

Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study (December 21, 2021), containing the assumed linear growth rates is provided in the Appendix. The assumed linear growth rates and corresponding factors for the study area are provided Table 1:

Table 1: MORPC Growth Rates and Projection Factors

Segment Linear Annual Growth

Rate 2017 to 2022 2017 to 2032

Winchester Pike East of Bixby Road 1.20% 1.06 1.18

Brice Road North of Winchester Pike 2.40% 1.12 1.36

Winchester Pike West of Bixby Road 1.10% 1.055 1.165

Bixby Road South of Winchester Pike 0.90% 1.045 1.135

These growth rates were based on 2019 counts via the Canal Crossing Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study.

The estimated trip distribution for the anticipated offsite developments were referenced via the Canal

Crossing Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study, Winchester Pike Site Traffic Access Study, Lamp South Traffic Impact Study, and the 5100 Ebright Road Traffic Impact Study. Estimated Trips Distributions for the anticipated offsite developments can be found in the Appendix. The total anticipated offsite trips can be found in Exhibit 5. The 2022 and 2032 background volumes (Exhibits 3-4) were added to the total offsite trips (Exhibit 5) to determine the 2022 and 2032 no-build volumes. The no-build volumes can be found in Exhibits 6-7.

BUILD CONDITIONS

This section of the report outlines the proposed site plan and summarizes site-specific traffic characteristics.

Development Characteristics The 80.6-Acre proposed development would include:

Building A: 49.8-Acre industrial warehouse totaling 627,200 Square Feet

Building B: 30.8-Acre industrial warehouse totaling 312,000 Square Feet

Access to the site includes four site access intersections along Winchester Pike and Bixby Road: Access A and Access B north of the Winchester Pike & Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection, and Access C and Access D west of the Winchester Pike & Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection. As shown on the conceptual site plan, the spacing of the Access A drive along Winchester Pike will be approximately 1,550 feet north of Access B, and Access B will be approximately 1,200 feet north of the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection. Along Bixby Road, Access C and Access D will be separated by approximately 1,100 feet. Access A is to be a right-in/right-out drive. The access configuration is illustrated on the conceptual site plan included in the Appendix.

Trip Generation To calculate trips generated by the proposed industrial development, data was referenced from the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) manual titled Trip Generation, Tenth Edition. Trip generation rates for the ITE Land Use Code (LUC) corresponding to the proposed use are shown in Table 2. Copies of the ITE data are provided in the Appendix.

For the purpose of this study, all site generated trips are expected to be “Primary Trips” when traveling to and from the subject site. Primary trips are trips to the proposed industrial site would not normally travel on the study roadways and are considered new trips within the study area. Per these assumptions, site-generated traffic projections are presented in Table 3 and Exhibits 12-18.

Directional Distribution The estimated distribution of site-generated traffic on the surrounding roadway network as it approaches

and departs the site is a function of several variables, such as the nature of surrounding land uses,

prevailing traffic volumes/patterns, characteristics of the street system, and the ease with which motorists

can travel over various sections of that system. To determine the percentage of traffic traveling to/from

neighboring towns/cities, a function of total population and distance from site was calculated. The

distribution of trips entering/exiting the proposed site was determined based on internal roadway

geometry, location of access driveways, and Google Maps “fastest route” determinations. Trucks and cars

from Building A and Building B resulted in various estimated trip distributions for the proposed site. The

anticipated directional distributions estimated for the site related trips are outlined in Table 4 and can be

seen in Exhibit 8-11.

Build Traffic Assignment

The build traffic assignment represents traffic volumes at the study intersections upon construction of the

proposed development. The 2022 Build traffic assignment consists of the 2022 No-Build trips plus the

total anticipated site generated trips. The 2032 Build traffic assignment consists of the 2032 No-Build trips

plus the total anticipated site generated trips. The 2022 and 2032 Build traffic volumes for the study area

are illustrated in Exhibits 19-20.

26 Bixby Road Industrial Traffic Impact Study │ Canal Winchester, Ohio February 2022 │ Traffic Study

ANALYSIS

This section of the report provides an overview of capacity analysis for the traffic volumes and turn-lane

analysis for the study intersections and identifies recommended transportation improvements to

accommodate the proposed development.

Capacity Analysis A capacity analysis was performed to quantify the delay and level of service at the study intersections

during the weekday AM and PM peak hours. Synchro software was utilized to evaluate capacity of the

proposed study intersections (reported overall and by approach) for the peak hour of site generated

traffic.

The capacity of an intersection quantifies its ability to accommodate traffic volumes and is measured in

average delay per vehicle. It is expressed in terms of level of service (LOS) which ranges from A to F,

with LOS A as the highest (best traffic flow and least delay), LOS E as saturated or at-capacity conditions,

and LOS F as the lowest (oversaturated conditions). The LOS grades shown below, which are provided in

the Transportation Research Board’s Highway Capacity Manual, quantify and categorize the driver’s

discomfort, frustration, fuel consumption, and travel times experienced as a result of intersection control

and the resulting traffic queuing. A detailed description of each LOS rating can be found in Table 5. The

range of control delay for each rating (as detailed in the HCM) is shown in Table 6. Because signalized

intersections are expected to carry a larger volume of vehicles and stopping is required during red

signals, higher delays are tolerated for the corresponding LOS ratings. For unsignalized stop

intersections, the intersection LOS is reported as the worst side street movement.

Traffic models for the following scenarios were developed using Synchro/SimTraffic, and the capacity

analysis (delay and LOS) was evaluated for each scenario. The scenarios that were analyzed are as

follows:

• 2022 (Opening Year) No-Build

• 2032 (Horizon Year) No-Build

• 2022 (Opening Year) Build

Table 5: Level of Service Grading Descriptions

Level of Service Description

A Minimal control delay; traffic operates at primarily free-flow conditions; unimpeded movement within

traffic stream.

B Minor control delay at signalized intersections; traffic operates at a fairly unimpeded level with slightly

restricted movement within traffic stream.

C Moderate control delay; movement within traffic stream more restricted than at LOS B; formation of

queues contributes to lower average travel speeds.

D Considerable control delay that may be substantially increased by small increases in flow; average

travel speeds continue to decrease.

E High control delay; average travel speed no more than 33 percent of free flow speed.

F Extremely high control delay; extensive queuing and high volumes create exceedingly restricted traffic

flow. 1Highway Capacity Manual 2010

The ODOT OATS Manual defines operational goals for intersection inside and outside of an MPO.

Additionally, the Franklin County Engineer’s Office designates supplemental operational goals for study

intersections. The study area is inside of Franklin County; therefore, a combination of Franklin County

and ODOT operational Goals were assumed. Table 7 outlines the LOS criteria for intersections which

were assumed in this study.

No-Build Condition Capacity Analysis The capacity analysis for the study intersections were completed for the 2022 and 2032 No-Build

conditions and the results are summarized in Tables 8-9. The No-Build capacity analysis assumed the

existing geometry at all study intersections. With the following exceptions, all approaches and

intersections operated at an acceptable LOS, during No Build (2022 and 2032) peak hour conditions. The

Synchro capacity analysis reports are included in the Appendix.

• US-33 and Bixby Road

o Eastbound approach during the 2022 (PM) and 2032 (PM)

o Westbound approach during the 2022 (AM and PM) and 2032 (AM and PM)

o Southbound approach during the 2022 (AM and PM) and 2032 (AM and PM)

o Northbound approach during the 2022 (PM) and 2032 (PM)

• Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road

o Southbound approach during the 2032 (PM)

Mitigation measures including a minimum of modified signal timings, and an eastbound right turn lane on

Bixby Road at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection should be considered to

mitigate the operational impact of the 2022 and 2032 background traffic growth, within the study limits.

Build Condition Capacity Analysis The capacity analysis for the study intersections were completed for the 2022 Build (Opening Year) and

2032 Build (Design Year) are summarized in Tables 8-9. These scenarios assumed no additional

geometric changes to the roadway network, except for the addition of four entrances to the proposed site.

With the following exceptions, all approaches and intersections operated at an acceptable LOS, during

Build (2022 and 2032) peak hour conditions. The Synchro capacity analysis reports are included in the

Appendix.

Mitigation measures including a minimum of modified signal timings, and eastbound right turn lane on

Bixby Road at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection should be considered to

mitigate the operational impact of the 2022 and 2032 background traffic growth, within the study limits.

No-Build Mitigated Condition Capacity Analysis No Build Mitigated analysis were used to determine the operational benefits of potential mitigation

measures to offset the background traffic growth.

The No Build Mitigated conditions included the following roadway improvements:

2022 No-Build:

• Modified traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection

2032 No-Build:

• Modified traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection

• Eastbound right turn lane on Bixby Road at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road

intersection

Analysis consisted of testing additional turn lanes on multiple approaches to add capacity and optimizing

the signal timing cycle length and splits. For the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection

to operate with an acceptable level of service during the 2032 No Build Mitigated condition, an eastbound

right-turn lane on Bixby Road is warranted. Table 10 summarizes the operational results of the No Build

Mitigated conditions. All approaches and intersection operated at an acceptable LOS.

Build Mitigated Condition Capacity Analysis No Build Mitigated analysis were used to determine the operational benefits of potential mitigation

measures to offset the impact of the increased traffic attributed to the proposed development, background

traffic growth, and off-site development.

The mitigated conditions included the following roadway improvements:

2022 Build:

• Modified traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection

• Eastbound right turn lane on Bixby Road at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road

intersection

• Northbound left turn lane on Winchester Pike at the Winchester Pike and Access B intersection

2032 Build:

• Modified traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection

• Eastbound right turn lane on Bixby Road at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road

intersection

• Northbound left turn lane on Winchester Pike at the Winchester Pike and Access B intersection

Analysis consisted of testing additional turn lanes on multiple approaches to add capacity and optimizing

the signal timing cycle length and splits. For the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection

to operate with an acceptable level of service during the 2022 and 2032 Build Mitigated condition, an

eastbound right-turn lane on Bixby Road is warranted. Table 10 summarizes the operational results of the

No Build Mitigated conditions. All approaches and intersection operated at an acceptable LOS.

Synchro 11 was used to analyze an additional southbound thru lane on Winchester Pike at the

Winchester Pike and Bixby/Brice Road intersection as a mitigation measure. The intersection and all

32 Bixby Road Industrial Traffic Impact Study │ Canal Winchester, Ohio February 2022 │ Traffic Study

approaches operated at an acceptable LOS during the 2022 and 2032 Build peak hour conditions. The

Synchro 11 reports are included in the Appendix.

Table 10: Weekday Peak Hour Mitigated Conditions- Study Intersections Capacity Analysis

Additional Mitigated Condition Capacity Analysis The Franklin County Engineer’s Office requested an evaluation of the addition of a second southbound

through lane on Winchester Pike at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection.

Capacity analysis of such an improvement was completed and are provided in Table 11. To achieve

utilization of the second through lane requires that the lane extends approximately 600 feet south of the

intersection before merging into the other southbound lane.

Table 11: Additional Peak Hour Mitigated Conditions- Study Intersections Capacity Analysis

Site Contribution to Mitigated Conditions As part of their review, Franklin County Engineer’s Office requested the percentage of the site traffic

compared to the total traffic be provided for the intersections of Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice

Road and the Winchester Pike and Gender Road intersections. The site and total entering volumes at the

intersections for the 2032 Build condition are shown in Table 12.

CONCLUSIONS

Based on an evaluation of traffic conditions at the study intersections, the addition of site generated traffic from the development anticipated to be complete by the year 2022 is not expected to significantly impact traffic operations compared to the No-Build condition.

The analysis of study intersections with the addition of site generated traffic and anticipated off-site traffic expected to be completed by 2032 is expected to moderately impact traffic operation compared to the 2032 No Build condition.

The following improvements are recommended based on the analysis of this study. Improvements recommended during “No Build conditions” represent improvements which are warranted based on background traffic growth. Improvements recommended during “2022 Build conditions” represent items which were warranted based on the addition of site-generated trips. Improvements recommended during “2032 Build conditions” represent items which were warranted based on the addition of site-generated trips.

2022 No-Build:

• Traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection should be modified

2022 Build: • Traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection should be

modified • Add an eastbound right turn lane on Bixby Road at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice

Road intersection. Trips from the proposed site represent less than 9 percent of this this right turn volume (14 of 161) and less than 6 percent of the overall volume at this intersection.

• Construct a 285-foot northbound left turn lane on Winchester Pike at the Winchester Pike and Access B intersection

2032 No-Build: • Traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection should be

modified • Construct a 320-foot eastbound right turn lane on Bixby Road at the Winchester Pike and Bixby

Road/Brice Road intersection • Construct a 285-foot northbound left turn lane on Winchester Pike at the Winchester Pike and

Access B intersection

2032 Build: • Traffic signal timing at the Winchester Pike and Bixby Road/Brice Road intersection should be

modified

# COMMENT ACTION

Canal 1 Exhibit 1: Add information to this exhibit which labels which access drive is

which, A – D, and add intersection numbers to the list of the study area

intersections on page 6.

Access Drives (A,B,C,D) are labeled on Exhibit 1.

Canal 2 Study Area: Add the intersections of Bixby Road/Rager Road, and

Winchester Pike/Gender Road to the study area for consistency with multi-

jurisdictional efforts to evaluate the impact of several proposed

development sites in this area. Reference traffic counts from the Canal

Crossing Phase 2 Traffic Impact Study, dated December 21, 2021. The

Winchester Pike/Gender Road intersection is within the City of Columbus,

and they will need included in reviews moving forward.

Volumes/analysis for the Bixby/Rager intersection have

been included as part of the study update. For the

Winchester Pike & Gender Road intersection the study

update includes a % of the Stotan site traffic at this

intersection.

Canal 3 Traffic Counts: Upon the second submittal of the Canal Crossing Phase 2,

FCEO allowed the study to use the traffic count at the intersection of

Winchester Pike/Bixby Road/Brice Road performed by Smart Services in

June 2019. Please review with FCEO but we recommend using the 2019

count instead of the 2017 count data that was previously furnished by

FCEO in order to promote consistency between these studies. Update

traffic volumes accordingly.

The study update includes a revision of the volumes at

this intersection using the June 2019 counts

Canal 4 Traffic Counts: For the intersection of Bixby Road/Rager Road, use the

count performed by Smart Services in June 2019 from the Canal Crossing

Phase 2 submittal. Update traffic volumes accordingly.

See Reponse to #2.

Canal 5 Traffic Volumes: Please add a traffic volume exhibit showing the counted

traffic volumes as collected, prior to these volumes being modified using

the growth rates.

The requested exhibit has been added the update study.

Canal 6 Traffic Volumes: Please show the build-up of traffic volumes from the

offsite trips more incrementally with more exhibits/plates for each site.

The traffic volumes for the other developments are

included in the appendix.

Canal 7 Trip Generation: On page 13, change Building 1 and Building 2 to Building

A and Building B, or vice-versa, as well as on any exhibits showing the site,

for consistency throughout the report.

The study text now references only Building A and

Building B.

Canal 8 Trip Generation: On page 13, the sizes of Building 1 and Building 2 add up

to 950,400 sq. ft., while the buildings in Table 2 total 939,200 sq. ft. Please

revise accordingly.

The study text has been updated to reflect the proper

building sizes. (627.2 KSF and 312 KSF)

Canal 9 Trip Distribution: Exhibits 7-8 indicates that Building A is accessed on the

north side of Bixby Road via intersections 4 and 5, but the site plan in

Appendix A shows Building 2 (300,000 sq. ft., while Building A in Table 2

on sheet 13 is listed at 312,000 sq. ft.) is accessed on the west side of

Winchester Pike. Update site trips accordingly.

The study has been updated to better reflect the

Building names.

Canal 10 Trip Distribution: Check Exhibits 9-10 as needed based on the above

comment.

The trip distribution exhibits have been removed from

the study. This information is included in Table 4 on

page 15.

Canal 11 General: The last paragraph under “Development Characteristics” on page

13, there is a minor error at the end of the first line that should read

“Access A and Access B…”

The text has been updated accordingly.

Canal 12 Trip Generation: On page 13, Table 2, the average rates listed for the

trucks in the PM Peak Hour shows 0.02, but per Appendix F, the average

rate is listed as 0.03. Update Table 2 and Table 3 as needed.

Table 2 and Table 3 have been updated.

REVIEW

# COMMENT ACTION

Canal 13 Turn Lane Warrant: Per the turn lane warrant charts in Appendix G, left

turn lanes are warranted for both Site Access A, and Site Access B. Table

11 only lists turn lane lengths at Site Access B.

The traffic volumes and analysis have been updated to

include Access A as a RIRO.

Canal 14 Turn Lane Lengths: Provide turn lane length calculations in support of the

lengths shown in Table 11, and in Appendix G.

Turn lane length calculation tables are provided in the

appendix.

Canal 15 Proposed Roadway Improvements: Please provide exhibits for any

proposed/recommended roadway improvements.

An exhibit of the proposed roadway improvements is

provided.

Canal 16 Signal Timings: Provide current signal timings for signalized intersections in

the appendices.

The current signal timings are provided in the appendix.

Canal 17 Appendix A: The provided site exhibit shows 3 proposed access points,

while the study consists of 4 access points.

The site plan in the appendix has been updated to

reflect the latest site plan.

Canal 18 General: Please provide a comment disposition to each of these

comments and any additional comments issued by other reviewing

agencies, describing the way in which they were addressed or adding any

additional important information in response to these comments.

This document is being provided as a response to

comments by Canal Winchester and Franklin County.

Canal 19 General: Note that development of this site obstructs extension of Rager

Road as provided in the Canal Winchester Thoroughfare Plan.

No Response necessary

Canal 20 Site Plan: Please coordinate access locations with the “Canal Crossing

Phase 2” site currently under study by The Kleingers Group, a portion of

which is across Bixby Road from the subject site. Ensure that access

locations proposed for both sites meet Canal Winchester Thoroughfare

Plan spacing and alignment criteria for Minor Arterials as provided in Table

9 in Section 9 of the Thoroughfare Plan.

The Access locations are shown on the improvements

exhibit.

# COMMENT ACTION

FCEO A Identify Winchester Pk is assumed (N-S or E-W) and retain that

throughout. Same with Bixby Rd and Brice Rd.

The report text is updated so that Winchester Pike is

referenced as North-South.

FCEO B Use 2019 count at Winchester Pk Bixby Brice. Volume plates will be

reviewed more closely once that change is made.

The study update includes a revision of the volumes at

this intersection using the June 2019 counts

FCEO C Double check the numbers in Table 3. Numbers don’t match what the

equations on the prior page calculate.

Tables 2 and 3 have been updated in the revised report.

FCEO D FCEO’s signal requirements for LOS are overall minimum C, and D for

individual movement.

The study has been updated to reflect this requirement.

FCEO E Check turn lane warrant labels. Appears Bixby Rd access points are labeled

as Winchester Pk

The labels on the turn lane warrants has been updated.

FCEO F Evaluate additional south bound thru (Winchester Pk) as a

countermeasure. This would appear to improve the blocking of turn lanes

more than adding length to the turn lanes as suggested. There is little

NBLT (WP) that would overlap well with a WBRT (Bixby) and it would take

time from the largest movement, SBTH (WP).

This additional analysis has been provided. The addition

of a 2nd southbound thru lane doesn't provide a better

LOS than the addition of an eastbound right turn lane on

Bixby Road. Additionally, to obtain high utilization of a

second southbound thru lane would require extending

this lane approximately 600 feet south of the

intersection before it is tapered.

FCEO G Provide % of total WP B B intersection. Off-site improvements will most

likely be a contribution towards a SBTH at this intersection.

The percent of site traffic at the Winchester Pike & Bixby

intersection is provided in the updated study.

FCEO H Provide driveway spacing details. Winchester Pk is 55 mph with requires

495’ of spacing between private driveways.

This information is provided in the report. The spacing of

the drives along WP are ~ 1,550' and 1,100'

FCEO I Provide spacing from intersection details. If the study proposes to

lengthen the SBLT length on Winchester Pk, then how does that spacing

work out with the warranted NBLT for Site Access 2?

This information is illustrated on the improvements

exhibit.

FCEO J Due to high speeds and heavy SBTH volumes on Winchester Pk, although

not warranted, FCEO may require a SBRT lane for the access points.

Discussions are ongoing.

No response necessary.

FCEO K Discussions are also ongoing regarding requiring a NBLT lane for Access 1

as well. Due to high speeds and heavy SBTH volumes, a handful of vehicles

attempting to turn left with limited gaps and no left turn lane gives FCEO

concerns.

Access A has been changed to a RIRO.
