Re: ONYX 2 Condominium
Class II / MUSP Traffic Impact Analysis Review — W.O. # 59
Dear Ms. Medina:
We have received the Traffic Impact Analysis report for the ONYX 2 Condominium project
prepared by Jackson M. Ahlstedt dated April 2004. Following is a brief list of comments that
need to be addressed prior to conducting a detail review of the traffic impact analysis.
1. The report must include the Level of Service (LOS) analysis of at -least one signalized
intersection nearest to the project site located at NE 29th Street/Biscayne Boulevard. In
addition, a schematic of lane geometry at the study intersections is required;
2. The report illustrates that NE 28th Street/Biscayne Boulevard intersection operates at
LOS F during both the peak hours in the future condition, even without the proposed
project. Therefore, the report must include a section of signal warrant analysis at NE
281' Street/Biscayne Boulevard;
3. The report must include the traffic impacts related to the two projects located within the
Regional Activity Center (RAC) - Shops at Midtown Miami and 2 Midtown;
4, The analysis must include an east -west roadway nearest to the project site in addition to
the analysis Biscayne Boulevard;
5. The peak season factor must be applied to ail of the existing or the future condition
analyses;
6. The existing timing data must be appended in the report;
7. The roadway vehicular capacity (column 2) and the person -trip V/C ratio-LOS
conversion table, both shown in the corridor analysis section (Appendix D), must be
based on the latest FOOT Quality/LOS Handbook 2002;
To avoid repetition, we have suspended further review of this project until we receive a revised
traffic report. Should you have any questions, please call me or Quazi Masood at
954.739.1881.
