Re: Atlantic Construction Site Lots 7-12 in Block 22401 Jackson Township, Ocean County MRA File No. 21-155

Dear Board Members:

McDonough & Rea Associates (MRA) has been asked to provide the Planning Board with a Traffic Impact Analysis for plans prepared by YP Engineering (YPE) for development of a construction yard and office space on the noted property. The property is located on the west side of Whitesville Road (CR 527) north of Faraday Avenue as shown on Figure 1, a Site Location Map, in the Appendix. Plans prepared by YPE show separate driveways proposed for the construction yard and the office space, thereby separating construction yard traffic from office traffic.

SCOPE OF STUDY

In order to prepare a thorough Traffic Impact Analysis for this project, MRA conducted the following tasks:

  1. Made field visits to the site to establish existing roadway and traffic conditions in the area.
  2. Conducted peak hour traffic counts at the intersection of Whitesville Road/White Road during the critical morning and afternoon peak hours.
  3. Prepared estimates of traffic to be generated by the construction yard and office building based upon Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) data and communication with the Applicant with respect to operations at the construction yard.
  4. Prepared estimates of future traffic volume demand for a design year of 2035, in accordance with Ocean County Planning Board protocol.
