SCOPE OF STUDY

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

  1. Made field visits to the site to establish existing roadway and traffic conditions in the area.
  2. Conducted 2021 seasonal (summer) peak hour traffic counts at the following intersections:
  3. CR 537/CR 526/571
  4. CR 537/I-195 westbound off-ramp
  5. CR 537/Pine Drive
  6. CR 537/U-turn jughandles west of Pine Drive
  7. Installed automatic traffic recording devices (ATR's) along eastbound and westbound CR 537 in the summer of 2021.
  8. Reviewed Pre-Covid traffic data along Route 537.
  9. Prepared trip generation estimates for the proposed uses based upon anticipated activity within the recreational complex and for the restaurant/commercial uses based upon data from the 11^{th} Edition of the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual and trip generation research data.
  10. Projected traffic volumes to a design year of 2032 in accordance with Ocean County Planning Board protocol.
  11. Conducted level of service capacity analyses for the following intersections:

CR 537/Pine Drive intersection

CR 537/U-turn jughandles west of Pine Drive intersection

CR 537 and I-195 westbound off-ramp intersection

CR 537 and CR 526/571 intersection

Pine Drive Extension and internal site intersection

The following report sets forth the database accumulated and the conclusions reached with respect to Adventure Crossing, Phases I, II, III and IV.
