The project includes approximately 208 on -site parking spaces. The site is located in the City of Miami on the between NE 24th Street and NE 25th Street east of Biscayne Boulevard. Currently, the site is vacant. The project will result in a net increase of approximately 87 vehicles per hour in the AM peak hour and 93 vehicle per hour in the PM peak hour. Based upon existing traffic count data, the AM volume is approximately 3% of the total two-way AM peak hour volume on Biscayne Boulevard. The PM volume is approximately 3% 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 and a split two-way driveway connecting to NE 24th Street. Loading dock access via NE 25th 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 facility level of service analysis. For purposes of identifying the specific localized impacts of the project, level of service analysis was conducted for the existing year 2004 conditions, and future conditions in the year 2006 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 2006 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 facility level of service analysis, provided in Appendix D, clearly indicates that there is sufficient transportation facility capacity to accommodate the proposed project. • • 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Gallery Art Condominium is a single phase development consisting of condominiums office space and parking. As shown in Figure 1, the site is located on the between NE 24th Street and NE 25th Street east of Biscayne Boulevard. The proposed development program is summarized in Table 1, TABLE 1 PROJECT DATA RESIDENTIAL CONDOMINIUM 171 DU OFFICE 3,180 SF PARKING 208 SPACES Primary vehicular access to the site is consists of a two-way driveway connecting to NE 25th Street and a split two-way driveway connecting to NE 24th Street. Loading dock access via NE 25th Street. For purposes of this traffic impact analysis, build -out has been estimated to occur by the year 2006. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E.

In addition, the report provides a general assessment of project impacts on parking and pedestrians. 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 20th 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 NE 24th Street and Biscayne Boulevard The roadway links include the following: Biscayne Boulevard between NE 20th Street and 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 24th Street and NE 25th Street. Loading dock access is provided by NE 25th Street. Biscayne Boulevard (SR-5/US-1) Biscayne Boulevard is a four lane divided roadway with striped median between NE 20th 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 24th Street NE 24th Street is a two lane roadway with parking on either side. NE 24th Street is classified as a local roadway. Traffic on NE 24th Street is controlled by stop signs at Biscayne Boulevard and at NE 2nd Avenue. NE 24th Street is interrupted at the FEC Rail Road, west of NE 2nd Avenue.

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 median weekly factor for the thirteen highest 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. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, G.E.

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 creates sight distance issues which increase the difficulty for westbound traffic on NE 25th Street to turn !eft on to or cross over Biscayne Boulevard.

Future traffic consisting of background traffic and committted development traffic was estimated. Background traffic was estimated by applying an annual growth factor to existing traffic. The annual growth factor of 2% per year was developed based upon the historical traffic count data shown in Table 16.

The growth rate of 2% per year was applied to the 2002 FDOT traffic counts and the 2004 original traffic count volumes in order to achieve 2006 traffic volumes. In addition, City of Miami data on major committed developments was researched and the traffic associated with those developments was included in the analysis. These developments consisted of the following projects: ■ Biscayne Bay Tower (Blue) ■ Cultural Center ■ Miramar Center II • 1800 Club ▪ Biscayne Village ■ Tuttle Street ■ Sky Residences • Bay 25 (Star) ■ Platinum Condominium • Metropolis Bayshore (Quantum) • Edgewater Tower (Rosabella) • Biscayne Bay Lofts (Onyx) Table 17 provides the future traffic volumes without the Gallery Art Condominium project and shows these volumes with the associated movement.

This was accomplished by using the 2006 estimated traffic volumes without the project and adding the traffic generated by the project (as shown in Table 13). Table 20 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 2006 future intersection level of service with and without the project. This is shown in Table 21 and on Figure 9. 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. These results are summarized in Table 22. It is estimated that during the PM peak hour the project will add 13 vph eastbound and 9 vph westbound on the section of NE 20th Street between NE 2nd Avenue and Miami Avenue. Data contained in the Downtown Miami DRI Increment 11 Transportation Analysis indicates that in April of 2000 the peak hour period volume on this section of NE 20th Street was 600 vph eastbound and 491 vph westbound. The "Downtown DRI" indicated that the maximum service volume on NE 20th Street between NE 2nd Avenue and Miami Avenue was 800 vph eastbound and 800 vph westbound, Assuming a growth rate of 2% per year for 6 years the year 2006 traffic volume on this section of NE 20th Street would be 676 vph eastbound and 553 vph westbound. Thus, the estimated existing excess vehicular capacity is 124 vph eastbound and 247 vph westbound. The proposed project would add, at most, 14 vph eastbound and 8 vph. Further, the "Downtown DRI" indicated that in 2009 the person trip demand in this section of NE 20th Street was estimated to be 1,117 person trips per hour eastbound and 879 person trips per hour westbound. The person trip capacity of this section of NE 20th Street was estimated to be 1,466 person trips per hour eastbound and 1,466 person trips per hour westbound. Thus, the projected excess person trip capacity is 349 person trips eastbound and 587 person trips westbound. The proposed project would add, at most, 20 person trips per hour eastbound and 11 person trips per hour westbound. Within the context of the City's adopted level of service standards, project traffic can be accommodated on the section of NE 20th Street between NE 2nd Avenue and Miami Avenue. It is estimated that during the PM peak hour the project will add 10 vph eastbound and 6 vph westbound on the section of NE 29th Street between NE 2nd Avenue and Miami Avenue. The project might add as much as 16 vph eastbound and 9 vph westbound on JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E. GALLERY ART CONDOMINIUM June 3, 2004 Page 32 • • • the section of NE 29th Street between Biscayne Boulevard and NE 2nd Avenue. In March of 2002, Florida International University (FIU) obtained AM and PM approach count data at the intersection of NE 29th Street and Miami Avenue. That data indicated that east of Miami Avenue, during the AM peak hour the eastbound volume was 301 vph and the westbound volume was 269 vph. Similarly, during the PM peak hour the eastbound volume was 329 vph and the westbound volume was 287 vph, Assuming a growth rate of 2% per year for 4 years the existing traffic volume on this section of NE 29th Street would be 356 vph eastbound and 311 vph westbound. Based upon the FDOT 2002 Quality/Level of Service Handbook, Table 4-7 it is estimated that the maximum service volume for level of service "E" (capacity) for the section of NE 29th Street between NE 2nd Avenue and Miami Avenue is 1,290 vph in each direction. Thus, the estimated excess vehicular capacity is 934 vph eastbound and 979 vph westbound. The proposed project would add, at most, 10 vph eastbound and 6 vph westbound. Within the context of the City's adopted level of service standards, project traffic can be accommodated on the sections of NE 29th Street between Biscayne Boulevard and Miami Avenue. JACKSON M.

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 24th Street and /or the south side of NE 25th Street. The parking spaces which might be eliminated would normally serve the adjacent property, in this case the project site. It is not anticipated that the elimination of these spaces will adversely impact the parking supply in the area. The project will construct some 208 on -site parking spaces. Parking will be provided for residents, employees and visitors to the site. The details of how visitor parking access will handled will be determined at a later date. 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 24th Street and/or 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 connecting to NE 25th Street and one split two-way driveway connecting to NE 24th Street. Table 23 summarizes the AM and PM peak hour driveway volumes anticipated at the service point. JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E.

The breakdown between the NE 24th Street Driveway and the NE 25th Street driveway is as follows: AM Peak Hour NE 24th Street - 18 inbound, 43 outbound NE 25th Street - 6 inbound, 20 outbound PM Peak Hour NE 24th Street - 46 inbound, 22 outbound NE 25th Street - 14 inbound, 12 outbound Queuing analysis was conducted based upon the assumption that access to the garage will be controlled by a card reader system and consist of an inbound lane and an outbound lane. 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, and identified as "Progress Print" 3/16/04, 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. HCS level of service analysis was conducted for both driveways in the AM and PM peak hours. That analyses, included in Appendix C, indicates that both driveways will operate at acceptable levels of service. 12.2 PROJECT LOADING DOCK The proposed site plan includes a loading dock area on the internal to the site. Access JACKSON M. AHLSTEDT, P.E. GALLERY ART CONDOMINIUM June 3, 2004 Page 38 • • • to the loading dock is from NE 25th Street. Loading dock maneuvering is internai to the site. It should be anticipated that, to facilitate the maneuvering of single unit trucks, the loading dock area will be refined during the design process. The loading dock area consists of two 12' by 35' truck berths plus one 10' by 20' berth. This should be adequate to serve the type and magnitude of development anticipated. 12.3 PEDESTRIAN ACCESS The proposed site plan provides pedestrian access to both NE 24th Street and 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 2006 there will be some deterioration in the level of service on Biscayne Boulevard. The intersection analyses, conducted for the intersections of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 25th Street and Biscayne Boulevard and NE 24th Street show, with or without the project, some degradation of level of service during the AM peak hour. Based upon existing and projected traffic volumes, it is not anticipated that a traffic signal would be warranted an Biscayne Boulevard at NE 24th Street and/or NE 25th Street. The project has access to a signalized intersection on Biscayne Boulevard at NE 22nd Street. The roadway link analysis yields similar level of service results, indicating that roadway levels of service remain relatively consistent through the year 2006 with or without the project. The results of all of these analyses are shown in Table 24. Finally, the transportation facility level of service analysis, provided in Appendix D, clearly indicates that there is sufficient transportation facility capacity to accommodate the proposed project.
