JMMARY The proposed Biscayne Bay Lofts project is a residential project consisting of approximately 118 dwelling units. The project includes approximately 170 on -site parking spaces. The site is located in the City of Miami on the north side of NE 25th Street at Biscayne Bay. Currently, the site is occupied by three apartment complexes with a total of 58 dwelling units, The project will result in a net increase of approximately 22 vehicles per hour in the AM peak hour and 1 vehicle per hour in the PM peak hour. Based upon existing traffic count data, the AM volume is approximately 1% of the total two-way AM peak hour volume on Biscayne Boulevard. The PM volume is approximately 0% of the total two- way PM peak hour volume on Biscayne Boulevard. Primary vehicular access to the site is restricted to one, two-way driveway connecting to NE 25th Street. In addition, there is a pick-up/drop-off driveway at the entrance to the building. Loading dock access via NE 26th Street. Two types of level of service analysis were conducted. The first type of analysis included Intersection and roadway link level of service analysis. The second type of analysis consisted of transportation corridor analysis. For purposes of identifying the specific localized impacts of the project, level of service analysis was conducted for the existing year 2003 conditions, and future conditions in the year 2005 with and without the project. These analyses included link and intersection level of service analysis. The results from the intersection analysis and the roadway link analysis, indicate that, with or without the project, by the year 2005 there will be some deterioration in the level of service on Biscayne Boulevard. That deterioration, however, will not fall below acceptable standards. Finally, the transportation corridor analysis clearly indicates that there is sufficient transportation system capacity in the Biscayne Boulevard Corridor to accommodate the proposed project. • o • 1,0 INTRODUCTION The Biscayne Bay Lofts is a single phase development consisting of condominiums and parking. As shown in Figure 1, the site is located on the north side of NE 25th Street east of Biscayne Boulevard directly adjacent to Biscayne Bay. The proposed development program is summarized in Table 1. TABLE 1 PROJECT DATA RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM 118 DU PARKING 170 SPACES Primary vehicular access to the site is consists of a two-way driveway connecting to NE 25th Street. In addition, there is a pick-up/drop-off driveway at the entrance to the building. Loading dock access via NE 26th Street. For purposes of this traffic impact analysis, build -out has been estimated to occur by the year 2005. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E.

Specific items discussed are as follows: • Determination of existing traffic volumes and levels of service for major roadways within the study area; • Estimation of the number of trips generated by the proposed project and the distribution of these trips within the study area network. ■ Estimation of future background and project traffic conditions and levels of service; ■ Determination of whether the transportation impacts of the proposed project exceed the City of Miami concurrency standards, and solutions to mitigate any adverse impacts; ■ Determination of project impacts on on -street parking; and, ■ Determination of project impacts on pedestrians. 3.0 STUDY AREA The study area's boundaries were defined to include: NE 29th Street as the northern boundary, NE 21st Street as the southern boundary, Biscayne Bay as the eastern boundary, and NE 2nd Avenue as the western boundary. This area includes a one-half mile section of Biscayne Boulevard. Figure 2 shows the intersections and roadway links which are most significant to the project. These include the following intersections: NE 25th Street and Biscayne Boulevard The roadway links include the following: Biscayne Boulevard between NE 21st Street to NE 29th Street JACKSON M.

Key roadways in and/or near to the study area include Biscayne Boulevard (SR-5/US-1), NE 13th Street, NE 15th Street and NE 36th Street. Of these roadways, Biscayne Boulevard is by far the most significant roadway serving the proposed project. Local access to the site is provided by NE 25th Street. Loading dock access is provided by NE 26th Street. Biscayne Boulevard (SR-5/US-1) Biscayne Boulevard is a four lane divided roadway with striped median between NE 21 st Street and NE 29th Street. Turn lanes are provided at intersections. Traffic signals are located at: ■ NE 21 st Street ■ NE 22nd Street • NE 26th Street ■ NE 29th Street This equates to three signalized intersections within one-half mile. The posted speed limit is 30 mph. For purposes of analysis, Biscayne Boulevard was classified as a State Two- way Arterial, Class III. NE 25th Street NE 25th Street is a two lane roadway with parking on either side. NE 25th Street is classified as a local roadway. Traffic on NE 22nd Street is controlled by stop signs at Biscayne Boulevard and at NE 2nd Avenue. NE 25th Street is interrupted at the FEC Rail Road, west of NE 2nd Avenue. 4.2 EXISTING SIGNAL TIMING Existing signal timing data for the signalized intersections to be analyzed was obtained from the Miami -Dade County Traffic Control Center. This data was used in the intersection capacity analysis to determine each intersection's level of service (LOS) and in the roadway link analysis. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E. BISCAYNE BAY LOFTS September 12, 2003 Page 5 • • • 4.3 EXISTING TRAFFIC COUNTS There are two existing Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) traffic count stations location within or near the study area. Data for these traffic count stations is summarized in Table 2.

Original 24 Hour machine traffic counts were taken the week of August 25, 2003 at the following locations: Biscayne Boulevard between NE 25th Street and NE 26th Street NE 25th Street east of Biscayne Boulevard The count program provided machine traffic counts (without vehicle classifications) summarized every 15 minutes for a 24-hour period. Machine traffic count data is summarized in Tables 6 and 7. Turning movement counts were obtained as follows: • At the intersection of NE 25th Street and Biscayne Boulevard, on Tuesday, September 2, 2003 between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM and between 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM. This traffic count data, adjusted to reflect peak hour volumes for Average Annual Weekday Traffic conditions is summarized in Table 8. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E. BISCAYNE BAY LOFTS September 12, 2003 Page 6 • • • Weekly Volume Factors Weekly volume factors to adjust raw count data to Average Annual Daily Traffic (AADT) volumes were obtained from FDOT records for the year 2002. Rather than using county- wide factors, Miami -Dade County North factors were used. These factors are shown in Table 3.

Axle Adjustment Factors Weekly axle adjustment factors to adjust raw count data to Average Daily Traffic (ADT) volumes were obtained from FDOT records for the year 2002. Rather than using county- wide factors, factors for SR-5/Biscayne Boulevard were used. These factors are shown in Table 4.

Peak Season Adjustment Factors Peak season adjustment factors were obtained from FDOT records for the years 2000 through 2002. Consistent with the FDOT 2002 Quality/Level of Service Handbook, the JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E. BISCAYNE BAY LOFTS September 12, 2003 Page 7 • • • median weekly factor for the thirteen 4 y`cct consecutive weeks of the year (the peak season) for each of the three years was determined. The peak season adjustment factor was determined to be 1.026. These factors are shown in Table 5. TABLE 5 SEASONAL. ADJUSTMENT FACTORS 2000 1.024 2001 1.025 2002 1.029 MEDIAN 1.026 Source of yearly data: Florida Department of Transportation, Transportation Statistics Office. The significance of the peak season adjustment factor is that it shows that there is less than a 3% difference between average annual daily traffic and peak season traffic. This is well within the ability to accurately measure and/or estimate traffic volumes. The roadways in question are not seasonal roadways and average annual weekday conditions are not significantly different than peak season conditions. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E.

Biscayne Boulevard Although heavy during peak hours, traffic flow on the section of Biscayne Boulevard in the study area is reasonably acceptable. Signal progression appears to be good. NE 25th Street Due to the minimal amount of traffic, traffic flow on NE 25th Street is good. During peak hours, operational conditions deteriorate at the intersection with Biscayne Boulevard. At such times, drivers desiring to use NE 25th Street generally rely on the courtesy of drivers on Biscayne Boulevard to allow them to make southbound left turns and all eastbound and westbound movements. The presence of on -street parallel parking on the east side of Biscayne Boulevard between NE 24th Street and NE 25th Street tends increase the difficulty for westbound traffic on NE 25th Street to turn left on to or cross over Biscayne Boulevard.

The intersection level of service for the future traffic volumes without the Biscayne Bay Lofts project are shown in Table 17 and on Figure 7. The analysis shows a slight deterioration in the intersection level of service during the AM peak hour. In general, the values are generally the same as those for the year 2003. The intersection level of service analyses are included in Appendix B. The link level of service analysis for future AM and PM peak hour directional traffic conditions was performed on the previously identified roadway link. These results are summarized in Table 18.

This was accomplished by using the 2005 estimated traffic volumes without the project and adding the traffic generated by the project (as shown in Table 13). Table 19 details the future traffic plus project traffic volumes for the AM and PM peak hours. These volumes were then used to determine the intersection levels of service using the same procedures as previously stated. For the most part, there were only minor changes between the year 2005 future intersection level of service with and without the project This is shown in Table 20 and on Figure 8. The intersection level of service analyses are included in Appendix C. The link level of service analysis for future AM and PM peak hour directional traffic conditions with the project was performed on the previously identified roadway links.

Adjacent to the site there are existing on -street parking spaces. The project may result in the elimination of a minimal amount of existing on -street parking spaces on the north side of NE 25th Street. The project will construct some 170 on -site parking spaces. Parking will be provided for residents, employees and visitors to the site. 11.0 PEDESTRIANS Little pedestrian activity was noted in the immediate vicinity of the site. The proposed project will not significantly impact pedestrian movements along NE 25th Street. 12.0 PROJECT SITE PLAN Traffic and transportation aspects of the proposed site plan were reviewed and analyzed. 12.1 PROJECT DRIVEWAYS The proposed project includes one, two-way driveway serving main access to the site. Table 22 summarizes the AM and PM peak hour driveway volumes anticipated at the service point. TABLE 22 AM AND PM PEAK HOUR DRIVEWAY VOLUMES IN VEHICLES PER HOUR (VPH) 46 45 22 Queuing analysis was conducted based upon the assumption that access to the garage JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E.

Analysis of potential inbound queues for the AM and PM peak hours indicates that there is better than a 99% probability that the queue should not exceed 2 vehicles including the vehicle being processed. Analysis of potential outbound queues for the AM and PM peak hours indicates that there is better than a 99% probability that the queue should not exceed 2 vehicles including the vehicle being processed. The ground level plan, provided by the project architect, September 5, 2003 indicates that the potential control point could be well within the property and that the anticipated queues could be accommodated without impacting off -site traffic flows. 12.2 PROJECT LOADING DOCK The proposed site plan includes a loading dock area on the north side of the property. Access to the loading dock is from NE 26th Street. The loading dock area consists of two single unit truck berths. This should be adequate to serve the type and magnitude of development anticipated. 12.3 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS The proposed site plan provides principle pedestrian access to NE 25th Street. 13.0 CONCLUSIONS After reviewing the results from the intersection analysis and the roadway link analysis, it can be concluded that with or without the project, by the year 2005 there will be some deterioration in the level of service on Biscayne Boulevard. The intersection analysis, conducted for the intersection of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 25th Street shows no degradation of level of service during the PM peak hour. The roadway link analysis yields similar level of service results, indicating that roadway levels of service remain relatively consistent through the year 2005 with or without the project. The results of all of these analyses are shown in Table 23. Finally, the corridor analysis provided in Appendix D clearly indicates that there is sufficient transportation system capacity in the Biscayne Boulevard Corridor to accommodate the proposed project.

These techniques are contained in the City of Miami publication Transportation Corridors: Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami as revised September 1990. In performing the analysis, of the three possible scenarios available, Scenario 2 - maximum auto was used. The level of service analysis for Biscayne Bay Lofts is documented in Tables 1 through 4. The proposed project is located in the Biscayne Boulevard corridor. The roadways providing capacity to the corridor are: Biscayne Boulevard N.E. 2nd Avenue North Miami Avenue The transit routes providing capacity to the corridor are MetroBus Routes 3, 16, 32, 36, 62, 95, T, Biscayne Max, 9, 10, and 6. EXISTING 2003 LEVEL OF SERVICE Table 1 presents an analysis of the existing 2003 corridor level of service. Roadway vehicular capacities (column 2) were based upon data contained in Transportation Corridors: Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami as revised September 1990. Roadway vehicular volumes (column 4) were taken from FOOT traffic count data. This AADT volume was adjusted to reflect peak hour conditions by applying factors obtained from FOOT data. Mass Transit person trip capacities (columns 8, 9 and 10) were calculated from route schedules and equipment information supplied by the Miami -Dade Transit Agency (MDTA) and data contained in Transportation Corridors: Meeting the Challenge of Growth Management in Miami as revised September 1990. Average weekday ridership data was obtained from MDTA. Total route ridership was available for MetroBus. Additionally, MDTA provided an estimated percentage of person trips during the peak 4 hours of the day. Because the MetroBus data reflected ridership on the entire route, some percentage of Biscayne Bay Lofts PAGE D-1 September 12. 2003 • • • which is typically outside of the Biscayne Boulevard Corridor, it was necessary to estimate the portion of the total route ridership which was actually on the buses when they were in the corridor. To facilitate this estimate of segment volumes, 2002 through 2003 data on MetroBus boardings in the corridor was obtained from MetroBus surveys. Transit volumes (column 12) were calculated using the ridership data and the percentage of passengers during the peak hours supplied by MDTA and estimating ridership in the corridor from actual load factors calculated from the MetroBus survey data. Thus, the transit volumes shown in column 12 reflect actual load factors calculated from MDTA surveys. As can be seen from Table 1, the existing Biscayne Boulevard Corridor currently operates at Level of Service "A".
