Re: Pitney Lane Shul Expansion 45 Pitney Lane Lot 1 of Block 20001 Jackson Township, Ocean County MRA File No. 25-173

Dear Board Members:

McDonough & Rea Associates (MRA) has been asked to provide Planning Board with a Traffic Impact Analysis for plans to add an addition to an existing Shul located at 45 Pitney Lane in the Township of Jackson. Specifically, a 2-story addition containing approximately 2,536 SF will be added to an existing 2-story framed dwelling. Additional improvements to the property include construction of a 32-space parking lot to serve worshippers.

SCOPE OF STUDY

In order to prepare a Traffic Impact Analysis for the Shul expansion, 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 Pitney Lane/South Cooks Bridge Road.
  3. Conducted parking counts at the existing Shul during roadway peak hours.
  4. Prepared estimates of additional traffic to be generated by the Shul expansion, based on the size of the parking lot and existing attendance at the Shul during roadway peak hours.
  5. Projected traffic volumes to a design year of 2035 in accordance with Ocean County Planning Board protocol.
