5 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY INTRODUCTION This Traffic Impact Study has been prepared to investigate the potential impacts of the proposed Amended Master Plan Amendment as it relates to the proposed upgrade of The Valley Hospital and the adjacent roadway network. The subject property is located at the northeast quadrant of the intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue in the Village of Ridgewood, Bergen County, New Jersey. The site location is shown on appended Figure 1. The project is located on Block 3301, Lot 51 as depicted on the Village of Ridgewood Tax Map. The site has approximately 466 feet of frontage along North Van Dien Avenue and approximately 573 feet of frontage along Linwood Avenue. The existing site contains a 562,000 square-foot hospital with 1,698 parking spaces. The existing access is provided via one (1) full-movement driveway along Linwood Avenue and two (2) fullmovement driveways along North Van Dien Avenue. As part of the proposed Amended Master Plan the existing Hospital will be upgraded to change double bed rooms to single bed rooms, enhance clinical facilities and provide 1,870 parking spaces at the end of Phase 1 and a total of 2,000 parking spaces at the end of Phase 2. The proposed Amended Master Plan allows for a 995,000 square-foot hospital, inclusive of rooftop structures, and decreasing the visitor peak parking occupancy rate from 94% during the existing condition to 79% after Phase 1 and to 71% after Phase 2. While the existing driveways along North Van Dien Avenue are proposed to be shifted slightly along the site frontages, all driveways will continue to operate as full-movement driveways. METHODOLOGY Stonefield Engineering & Design, LLC has prepared this Traffic Impact Study in accordance with the recommended guidelines and practices outlined by the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) within Transportation Impact Analyses for Site Development. A detailed field investigation has been performed to assess the existing conditions of the adjacent roadway network. A data collection effort has been completed to identify the existing traffic volumes at the study intersections to serve as a base for the traffic analyses. Capacity analysis, a procedure used to estimate the traffic-carrying ability of roadway facilities over a range of defined operating conditions, was performed using the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) and Synchro/SimTraffic 8 Software for all study conditions to assess the roadway operations. The SimTraffic simulation results provided in this study provide analyses of study of intersection based upon the interrelationship of upstream and downstream conditions. The results included in this report for each condition include the average delay per vehicle based upon multiple SimTraffic simulations. Existing condition 1

6 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY simulations were calibrated based upon observations and data collected during field visits at representative study time periods. For an unsignalized intersection, Level of Service (LOS) A indicates operations with delay of less than 10 seconds per vehicle, while LOS F describes operations with delay in excess of 50 seconds per vehicle. For a signalized intersection, LOS A indicates operations with delay of less than 10 seconds per vehicle, while LOS F describes operations with delay in excess of 80 seconds per vehicle. The Technical Appendix contains the Highway Capacity Analysis Detail Sheets for the study intersections analyzed in this assessment. The traffic signal timing utilized within the signalized analysis is based on timing directives provided by Bergen County and the Village of Ridgewood. The ITE publication, Trip Generation Manual, 9 th Edition, details three (3) independent variables that are recognized for use in estimating the trips of a hospital: employees, square-footage, and number of beds. Specifically, square-footage was not used in determining trip generation in this report for a number of reasons. First, the square-footage associated with the Hospital upgrade does not share the same characteristics as a typical Hospital project in that this development primarily maintains or reduces the number of employees and patients that exist in the current condition. Second, over half of the sources in the Trip Generation Manual used to determine the trip generation formulas for Hospitals are from studies taken over 20 years ago, when hospitals and health care services were very different than they are today. Third, the Trip Generation Handbook provides a recommended approach for estimating trip generation for a proposed development when using the Trip Generation Manual. As part of these guiding principles, ITE recognizes that at least one of the following should be met to use the average rates or equations provided in the Manual: When the Trip Generation data plot contains more than 20 data points and a regression curve and equation are provided, use of the regression equation is recommended. A regression equation with and R 2 of at least 0.75 is preferred because it indicates the desired level of correlation between the trips generated by a site and the value measured for an independent variable. For the same reason, a weighted average rate is preferred when the standard deviation is less than or equal to 110 percent of the weighted average rate. Number of licensed beds. Data should be collected as to the number of occupied beds during data collection efforts. The square-footage variable for the Hospital Land Use does not meet any of these above listed criteria; there are only 13 data points, the R 2 for the regression equations is 0.71 or lower during the time periods studied, and the standard deviation is 121% or greater than the weighted average during the time periods studied. Therefore, according to Figure 3.1 on page 10 of the Trip Generation Handbook local data should 2

7 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY be collected.

11 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY EXISTING TRAFFIC VOLUMES Manual turning movement counts were collected during the typical school and non-school weekday morning, school dismissal, and evening time periods to evaluate existing traffic conditions and identify the specific hours when traffic activity on the adjacent roadways is at a maximum and could be potentially impacted by the development of the site. Because a number of the study intersections were observed to be at or beyond capacity, in addition to solely counting the number of vehicles being serviced at each intersection, the true demand at each intersection was counted and used in the analyses found in this report. In addition to counting vehicular traffic, pedestrian counts, as well as the number of times a crossing guard stopped traffic was recorded and utilized in developing the model for the existing condition. Turning movement counts were collected at the following locations: North Pleasant Avenue and Linwood Avenue Steilen Avenue and Linwood Avenue John Street and Linwood Avenue Hospital Driveway and Linwood Avenue North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue North Van Dien Avenue and South Hospital Driveway North Van Dien Avenue and North Hospital Driveway North Van Dien Avenue and Meadowbrook Avenue North Van Dien Avenue and Benjamin Franklin Middle School Driveway North Van Dien Avenue and East Glen Avenue East Glen Avenue and Red Birch Court Northern Parkway and Linwood Avenue Northern Parkway and Meadowbrook Avenue Northern Parkway and East Glen Avenue East Ridgewood Avenue and North Van Dien Avenue Linwood Avenue and Paramus Road 7

12 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Specifically, manual turning movement counts were conducted on the following dates: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 and Wednesday February 13, 2013, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Tuesday, February 19, 2013 and Wednesday February 20, 2013, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. and from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. In addition to manual turning movement counts, automatic traffic recorders (ATRs) were placed along North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue to record traffic data continuously from Tuesday, February 12, 2013 through Sunday, February 24, Since the study roadway network is influenced by the proximate Benjamin Franklin Middle School and Travell Elementary School, the study period included a week in which Ridgewood schools were open (Tuesday, February 12, 2013 to Friday, February 15, 2013) and a week in which Ridgewood schools were closed (Monday, February 18, 2013 to Friday, February 22, 2013) for February recess. The traffic volume data was collected and analyzed to identify the design peak hour in accordance with HCM and ITE guidelines. The study time periods have been chosen as they are representative of the peak periods of both the adjacent roadway network and the proposed upgrade of The Valley Hospital. The volumes collected from manual counts, and confirmed with ATR data, were greater during the school day collection program. Therefore in an effort to provide conservative analyses, typical school day volumes were used in this report. The weekday morning peak hour occurs from 7:15 a.m. to 8:15 a.m.; the weekday school dismissal peak occurs from 3:15 p.m. to 4:15 p.m.; and the weekday evening peak hour occurs from 4:45 p.m. to 5:45 p.m. The 2013 Existing weekday morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hour volumes were balanced within the vicinity of the Hospital and are summarized on appended Figure 2. EXISTING LOS/CAPACITY ANALYSIS Under the existing conditions, all movements at the signalized intersection of North Pleasant Avenue and Linwood Avenue are calculated to operate at Level of Service E or better during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours, with the exception of the westbound approach of Linwood Avenue, which is calculated to operate at Level of Service F during the school dismissal peak period. Under the existing condition, the signalized intersection of North Pleasant Avenue and Linwood Avenue is calculated to operate at overall Level of Service D during the morning peak hour, Level of Service E during the school dismissal peak hour, and Level of Service C during the evening peak hour. Under existing conditions, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of Steilen Avenue and Linwood Avenue are calculated to operate at Level of Service B or better with the exception of the westbound movement of Linwood Avenue, which is calculated to operate at Level of Service E during the school 8

This occurs as downstream congestion from the Linwood Avenue and North Van Dien intersection affects this intersection. Under the existing condition, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of John Street and Linwood Avenue Hospital Driveway, and Linwood Avenue are calculated to operate at Level of Service D or better during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours, with the exception of the southbound approach of Linwood Avenue Hospital Driveway which is calculated to operate at Level of Service F during the morning and school dismissal peak hours. Under the existing condition, all movements at the signalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue are calculated to operate at Level of Service E or better during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak periods, with the exception of the westbound approach of Linwood Avenue which is calculated to operate at Level of Service F during the morning and school dismissal peak hours. Under the existing condition, the signalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue is calculated to operate at overall Level of Service D or better during the morning and school dismissal peak hours and Level of Service C during the evening peak hour. Under the existing condition, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and South Hospital Driveway are calculated to operate at Level of Service B or better during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours with the exception of the westbound approach during the school dismissal peak, which is calculated to operate at a Level of Service F. The queues from the southbound North Van Dien Avenue approach at Linwood Avenue extend to this intersection. Under the existing condition, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and North Hospital Driveway are calculated to operate at Level of Service A during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours. Under the existing condition, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and Meadowbrook Avenue are calculated to operate at Level of Service B or better during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours. Under the existing condition, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and Benjamin Franklin Middle School are calculated to operate at Level of Service A during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours, with the exception of the westbound movement of the school driveway, which is calculated to operate at Level of Service C during the morning peak hour. This occurs as vehicles queues extend from the North Van Dien Avenue/ East Glen Avenue intersection to this intersection. 9

14 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Under the existing conditions, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and East Glen Avenue are calculated to operate at Level of Service E or better during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours with the exception of the northbound movement which is calculated to operate at Level of Service F during the morning peak period. Under the existing conditions, all movements at the unsignalized intersection of East Glen Avenue and Red Birch Court are calculated to operate at Level of Service B or better during the morning, school dismissal, and peak hours. The appended Tables 1 through 30 summarize the Existing Conditions Level of Service and Delay during the study peak hours NO-BUILD CONDITION BACKGROUND GROWTH In accordance with industry guidelines, the 2013 traffic volume data was grown to a future horizon year of 2021, which is a conservative estimate for when the proposed upgrade of The Valley Hospital is expected to be fully constructed. The existing traffic volumes at the study intersections were increased for ambient growth using a background growth rate of 1%. The 1% background growth rate was obtained by consulting North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority Plan For 2035 for future employment and residential growth within the Village of Ridgewood and Bergen County as well as current proposed mixed-use development projects within the Village NO-BUILD TRAFFIC VOLUMES The background growth rate was added to the 2013 Existing Condition Traffic Volumes to calculate the 2021 No-Build Condition Traffic Volumes for the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours. These volumes are summarized on appended Figure NO-BUILD LOS/CAPACITY ANALYSIS A Level of Service and Volume/Capacity analysis was also conducted for the 2021 No-Build Condition during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours at the study intersections and existing site driveways. The signalized intersection of North Pleasant Avenue and Linwood Avenue is calculated to operate with slightly greater delay than existing during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours because of the increase in background for the region. 10

15 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY The unsignalized intersection of John Street and Linwood Avenue Hospital Driveway and Linwood Avenue is calculated to operate generally consistent with the findings of the Existing Condition during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours with the exception being the southbound approach. The southbound approach is calculated to degrade from Level of Service C to Level of Service E during the weekday evening peak hour due to the increase in background traffic on the roadway network. The signalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue is calculated to operate consistent with the findings of the Existing Condition during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours. The unsignalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and South Hospital Driveway is calculated to operate consistent with the findings of the Existing Condition during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours with the exception of the westbound approach during the school dismissal peak which is calculated to significantly increase delay. This occurs due to the increased background growth for the region and increased queues along southbound North Van Dien Avenue. The unsignalized intersection of North Van Dien Avenue and East Glen Avenue is calculated to operate consistent with the findings of the Existing Condition during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours with the exception of the northbound approach during the morning peak which is calculated to significantly increase delay. The unsignalized intersections of Steilen Avenue and Linwood Avenue, North Van Dien Avenue and the North Hospital Driveway, North Van Dien Avenue and Meadowbrook Avenue, North Van Dien Avenue and the School Driveway, and East Glen Avenue and Red Birch Drive are calculated to operate generally consistent with the findings of the Existing Condition during the morning, school dismissal, and evening peak hours. The appended Tables 1 through 30 summarize the No Build Conditions Level of Service and Delay during the study peak hours BUILD CONDITION The site-generated traffic volume of the proposed upgrade has been estimated to identify the potential impacts of the project. For the purpose of this analysis, a complete project build out is assumed within eight (8) years of the preparation of this study. 11

16 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY TRIP GENERATION Hospitals are complex institutions with various components working together all in one facility. The Valley Hospital has emergency services, scheduled outpatient care, accessory uses, shift and traditional work hour employees, and vast amounts of mechanical space. The various components of the facility vary in their impact on the overall trip generation of the site. The Institute of Traffic Engineers (ITE) publication, Trip Generation Manual, 9 th Edition, details three (3) independent variables that are recognized for use in estimating the trips of a hospital: employees, squarefootage, and number of beds. Specifically, square-footage was not used in determining trip generation in this report for a number of reasons. First, the square-footage associated with the Hospital upgrade does not share the same characteristics as a typical Hospital project in that this development primarily maintains or reduces the number of employees and patients that exist in the current condition. Second, over half of the sources in the Trip Generation Manual used to determine the trip generation formulas for Hospitals are from studies taken over 20 years ago, when hospitals and health care services were very different than they are today. Third, the Trip Generation Handbook provides a recommended approach for estimating trip generation for a proposed development when using the Trip Generation Manual. As part of these guiding principles, ITE recognizes that at least one of the following should be met to use the average rates or equations provided in the Manual: When the Trip Generation data plot contains more than 20 data points and a regression curve and equation are provided, use of the regression equation is recommended. A regression equation with and R 2 of at least 0.75 is preferred because it indicates the desired level of correlation between the trips generated by a site and the value measured for an independent variable. For the same reason, a weighted average rate is preferred when the standard deviation is less than or equal to 110 percent of the weighted average rate. Number of licensed beds. Data should be collected as to the number of occupied beds during data collection efforts. The square-footage variable for the Hospital Land Use does not meet any of these above listed criteria; there are only 13 data points, the R 2 for the regression equations is 0.71 or lower during the time periods studied, and the standard deviation is 121% or greater than the weighted average during the time periods studied. Therefore, according to Figure 3.1 on page 10 of the Trip Generation Handbook local data should be collected. The local data used to determine the trip generation for this report includes a multi-variable analysis that utilizes data with the highest causation for generating trips in the future condition. 12

17 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY When determining the optimal variable to choose, the ITE Trip Generation Handbook, 2 nd Edition describes, When the analyst has a choice of variables, it is best to use the one that (1) is most directly causal for the variation in trip ends generated by a land use and (2) is accurately projectable for proposed development sites. To determine the variables that most causally relate to the upgrade of the site, Stonefield consulted various industry publications concerning the parking and trip generation of hospitals. An industry publication 1 pertaining specifically to hospitals concluded: The following information should be gathered in order to better estimate parking and/or trip generation: Number of employees. Information related to the number of staff by department and shift. This should include volunteers, doctors, nurses, etc. Number of licensed beds. Data should be collected as to the number of occupied beds during data collection efforts. The maximum number of patient load by department and the corresponding patient load during data collection efforts. This will enable a correlation between the patient load and parking utilization/traffic volume count. Information related to car-pools, transit usage, biking, etc. Total number of existing parking spaces by type of lot (employee, ER, etc.). The summary should include a detailed list of each parking lot and who is allowed to park in them. Each parking lot should be analyzed separately to assure each employee/visitor has the required number of parking stalls required by code or by the hospitals own desires. As part of the data collection effort performed in this study, data was collected in relation to all of the variables listed above. Hospital patient arrival data, bed count, employee count by department and shift schedule, Hospital shuttle bus data, and parking utilization counts were all collected over a two (2) week period in February 2013 which included one (1) week with school in session and one (1) week with school on recess to get a comprehensive analysis. The magnitude of these variables was compared for both the existing Hospital and Amended Master Plan.

Outpatient Services - Patients The Hospital has purchased land off site from the existing Hospital and is planning to move a number of the outpatient services to a new location. Therefore a number of trips that are currently being made to the Hospital will no longer be destined for the Hospital. Based upon Hospital provided patient data, the following table presents the number of outpatients currently using the Hospital on a typical weekday for the existing facility and the Amended Master Plan facility. As part of the Amended Master Plan, Valley Health Systems will relocate specific outpatient services to off-site locations. Analyses to determine the number of 14

19 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY trips associated with moving certain outpatient services off-site were performed using an hourly summary of patient arrivals per outpatient service and is summarized in Table 3. Table 3 Amended Master Plan Analysis by Patients Hospital Service Variable Existing Hospital Amended Master Plan The average stay of the outpatient services that are being moved off-site is approximately one (1) hour so each patient equals two (2) trips. Therefore the reduction of trips as part of the Amended Master Plan is the following: Difference in Amended Master Plan Outpatient Services Patients Per Weekday 475 Patients/Day 329 Patients/Day (-146) Patients/Day Outpatient Services Patients Weekday Morning Peak 36 Patients/AM Peak 26 Patients/AM Peak (-10) Patients/AM Peak Outpatient Services Patients School Dismissal Peak 27 Patients/SD Peak 17 Patients/SD Peak (-10) Patients/SD Peak Outpatient Services Patients Weekday Evening Peak 16 Patients/PM Peak 7 Patients/PM Peak (-9) Patients/PM Peak C. Employees Weekday Morning Peak: (-20) ((-10) In, (-10) Out) School Dismissal Peak: (-20) ((-10) In, (-10) Out) Weekday Evening Peak: (-18) ((-9) In, (-9) Out) Weekday Daily: (-292) ((-146) In, (-146) Out) The Hospital has purchased land off site from the existing Hospital and is planning to move a number of the outpatient services to a new location. Therefore a number of the trips that are currently being made by employees to the Hospital will no longer be generated when certain outpatient services are moved off-site. Based upon Hospital provided employee data, it was determined that on a typical weekday there was an average of 140 employees working in outpatient services that are proposed to be moved off-site. The Hospital has indicated that the only staff they plan on increasing as part of the upgraded Hospital will be new service employees. These employees will be responsible for food service, security, and environmental services related to the operations of the upgraded facility. As summarized in Table 4, this report added the number of new service staff to the number of outpatient staff that will be moved off-site to calculate a net decrease of 100 trips as part of the Amended Master Plan. 15

20 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Table 4 Amended Master Plan Analysis by Employees Hospital Service Variable Existing Hospital Amended Master Plan Difference in Amended Master Plan Hospital Employees 1,746/Day 1,646/Day (-140)/Day +40/Day (-100)/Day Based upon Hospital supplied data, approximately 11% of all employees utilize the off-site parking lot and employee shuttle. Therefore, there will be a total of 89 employees that currently drive to the Hospital that will be relocated to the new outpatient facility. Currently, those employees serving those outpatient facilities work on two (2) shifts: 7:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. 8:00 p.m. Approximately two-thirds of the employees are on the 1 st shift with the remainder on the 2 nd shift. Therefore the reduction of trips as part of the Amended Master Plan is the following: Weekday Morning Peak: (-59) ((-59) In) School Dismissal Peak: (-89) ((-30) In, (-59) Out) Weekday Evening Peak: 0 Weekday Daily: (-178) ((-89) In, (-89) Out) D. Parking Supply As summarized in Table 5, as part of the Amended Master Plan the number of parking spaces that will be provided on-site will be increased to 1,870 formal parking spaces as part of Phase 1 and then increased to a total of 2,000 formal spaces as part of Phase 2. Table 5 Amended Master Plan Analysis by Parking Supply Hospital Service Variable Existing Hospital Amended Master Plan Difference in Amended Master Plan Parking Formal Spaces 1,698 Formal Spaces 2,000 Formal Spaces 302 Formal Spaces Parking Including Maximum Valet 1,731 Spaces 2,000 Spaces 269 Spaces Parking Employees 776 Spaces 776 Spaces 0 Spaces It is noted in the numbers above that the number of spaces reserved for employees will remain unchanged under the Amended Master Plan as Valley Hospital will maintain their employee shuttle to accommodate any surplus demand in employee parking. Currently, the Hospital parking lot has a parking utilization of greater than 90% for visitors from 1:00 p.m. though 3:00 p.m., including a peak of 94% at 2:00 p.m. When parking lot utilization exceeds 90%, the lot is generally perceived as full as users may have to recirculate within the site looking for a parking space. By increasing the number of parking spots available to non-employees, patrons of the Hospital will not have to recirculate in the lots numerous times to find available spaces, which will decrease vehicle emissions, vehicular and pedestrian conflicts, and driver 16

21 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY frustration. A hospital, by its nature being an emergency and medical facility, does not inherently increase demand based upon its parking supply. Therefore no increase or decrease in trips is expected based upon the introduction of more parking spaces. E. Conclusion The reduction in trips as a result of the facility upgrades, including the movement of outpatient services off-site and the increase of three (3) beds is as follows: Weekday Morning Peak: (-75) ((-66) In, (-9) Out) School Dismissal Peak: (-104) ((-38) In, (-66) Out) Weekday Evening Peak: (-14) ((-8) In, (-6) Out) Weekday Daily: (-430) ((-215) In, (-215) Out) Table 6 summarizes the difference in trips generated by the Hospital in both the existing condition and the proposed condition. By carefully analyzing each individual aspect of the Amended Master Plan as it relates to the existing performance and future conditions of Valley Hospital, it is anticipated that traffic generated by the Hospital will drop during all peak hours studied compared to existing conditions. Table 6 Comparison of Existing Trip Generation and Proposed Trip Generation Hospital Service Variable Weekday Morning Peak Hour School Dismissal Peak Hour Weekday Evening Peak Hour In Out Total In Out Total In Out Total Existing Hospital Trip Generation Proposed Hospital Trip Generation Difference in Trips TRIP ASSIGNMENT/DISTRIBUTION The trips generated by the proposed development were distributed according to new on-site development patterns that will be established upon completion of the upgrade to the Hospital. Currently a number of first-shift employees use the northern driveway along North Van Dien Avenue to access the north parking garage. When the north parking garage is dismantled and replaced with the new Phillips Garage, employees will no longer need to utilize the northern driveway. Visitors will still be directed to the northern driveway where they will be able to drop off patients outside of the North Building and valet their vehicles. The southern driveway along North Van Dien Avenue would be shifted slightly to the north which will allow for additional queuing from the traffic signal and will align the driveway with a Hospital owned building across the street. The New Site Traffic Volumes are illustrated on Figure 4 in the Appendix. 17

22 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY 2021 BUILD TRAFFIC VOLUMES The New site-generated trips were added to the 2021 No-Build Volumes to calculate the Volumes and are illustrated on Figure 5 in the Appendix BUILD LOS/CAPACITY ANALYSIS Tables 1 through 30, in the Appendix, reflect the Level of Service and Delay tables which compare the Existing, No Build, and Build Conditions. Because there is no increase in trips as a result of the upgrade and relocation of outpatient services, the No Build and Build conditions generally operate at the same level of service BUILD WITH PROPOSED OFF-SITE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENTS While there is minimal negative impact to the roadway network when comparing the No Build and Build Conditions, this study has reviewed the existing roadway network for opportunities to provide improvements to increase operational efficiency. As part of this analysis, this report discusses two (2) alternatives for off-site traffic improvements. A comparison of these alternatives is included in the Level of Service and Delay tables, included in the Appendix. OFF-SITE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT ALTERNATIVE 1 Alternative 1 includes various upgrades as was included as part of the previous Master Plan Amendment. Improvements include: A. North Van Dien Avenue/East Glen Avenue/ Red Birch Drive Intersection As included in the recommendations of the previous Master Plan Amendment, Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1 includes the installation of an all-way stop control at the intersection of North Van Dien Avenue, East Glen Avenue, and Red Birch Drive. The intersection of North Van Dien, East Glen Avenue, and Red Birch Drive during existing conditions becomes severely congested during the weekday morning peak period. During the weekday morning peak period numerous vehicles travel along East Glen Avenue eastbound to access Route 17 southbound as an alternate route to Linwood Avenue. Parents drop their children off either in front of Benjamin Franklin Middle School or on Red Birch Drive adding to the number of vehicles and pedestrians at the subject intersection. Vehicles traveling northbound on North Van Dien Avenue experience very few acceptable gaps along East Glen Avenue. In addition there is landscaping impeding the sight distance of vehicles looking west from North Van Dien Avenue. 18

23 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Proposed as part of Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1, an all-way stop condition at this location would allow for additional gaps in traffic for the North Van Dien Avenue approach. Stopping traffic along East Glen Avenue, would be expected to provide improved conditions for pedestrian crossings. B. North Van Dien Avenue/Linwood Avenue Intersection Under existing conditions during the school dismissal and weekday evening peak hour, the demand at the North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue intersection exceeds capacity. This impacts upstream conditions as backups propagate westward to the Linwood Avenue Hospital Driveway and North Pleasant Avenue and Linwood Avenue intersection and northward to the Southerly North Van Dien Avenue Hospital driveway. As part of Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1, Linwood Avenue would be widened from approximately 31 feet to 41 feet for approximately 150 feet to the east of North Van Dien Avenue. The widening would accommodate the addition of an exclusive right-turn lane for Linwood Avenue westbound at the North Van Dien Avenue intersection. Widening would also be proposed along North Van Dien, north of the Linwood Avenue traffic signal, which would allow for the introduction of an exclusive southbound leftturn lane from the southern Hospital driveway to the traffic signal. Minor widening on the opposite approaches (Linwood Avenue west of the intersection and North Van Dien south of the intersection) would be required to align the newly located through lanes with the proper receiving lanes. All such widening would occur on properties owned by Valley Hospital. Inclusive in the widening program would be the installation of new traffic signal equipment to meet current MUTCD and ADA standards, and an image detection system to promote efficient traffic signal performance. A concept plan of the proposed intersection layout for Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1 included in the Appendix. As part of Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1, the Linwood Avenue signal would be proposed to operate as a three (3)-phase signal; a lead southbound North Van Dien Avenue phase, a North Van Dien Avenue phase, and a Linwood Avenue phase. Under Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1, the intersection timing would be changed to reflect optimal signal timing and coordination with the Linwood Avenue/North Pleasant Avenue intersection. C. Linwood Avenue/North Pleasant Avenue Intersection At the Linwood Avenue/North Pleasant Avenue intersection, Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1 proposes changing the cycle length during the school arrival and dismissal time periods to match that of Linwood Avenue and North Van Dien Avenue so that coordination can be maintained. Additionally, an image detection system is proposed to be installed to promote efficient traffic signal performance. 19

24 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY D. Linwood Avenue/John Street/Hospital Driveway Intersection Alternative 1 includes the construction of a splitter island prohibiting left turning and through movements into and out of John Street. While the left-turn and through northbound prohibition from John Street is currently self-enforced as illustrated by low volumes (total of four (4) vehicles during the peak hours studied), vehicles leaving the Hospital and along Linwood Avenue westbound may be using John Street as a cutthrough under existing conditions. By prohibiting these movements, volumes and vehicular speeds along John Street will be typical to that of a residential street. OFF-SITE TRAFFIC IMPROVEMENT ALTERNATIVE 2 Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 2 includes various improvements to the adjacent roadway network. Improvements include: A. North Van Dien Avenue/East Glen Avenue/ Red Birch Drive Intersection All of the traffic upgrade techniques at this location which are proposed in Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1 are also proposed at this location in Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 2. B. North Van Dien Avenue/Linwood Avenue Intersection Under existing conditions during the school dismissal and weekday evening peak hour the demand at the North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue intersection exceeds capacity. This impacts upstream conditions as backups propagate westward to the Linwood Avenue Hospital Driveway and North Pleasant Avenue and Linwood Avenue intersection and northward to the Southerly North Van Dien Avenue Hospital driveway. As part of Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 2, Linwood Avenue would be widened from approximately 31 feet to 43 feet in the vicinity of the North Van Dien intersection. This represents an additional 2 feet of widening as compared to Alternative 1. This widening would take place solely along the Hospital s frontage. The widening along Linwood Avenue would provide for three (3) lanes in the westbound direction; one (1) exclusive left-turn lane, one (1) exclusive through lane, and one (1) exclusive channelized right-turn lane. In providing an exclusive left-turn lane, vehicles traveling through the intersection will no longer be impeded by left-turning vehicles waiting for a gap in traffic. By channelizing the westbound right-turn lane, pedestrians will have a safe refuge area and a shorter crossing distance. The westbound through lane will be better aligned with the receiving lane providing for an alignment that better meets driver s expectations. Along the southern side of Linwood Avenue, east of North Van Dien Avenue, a bus turnout is proposed to be provided by widening Linwood Avenue eight (8) feet in front of the property located at the southeast 20

25 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY corner of the intersection. This bus turnout will provide an area for buses loading or unloading passengers so as not to block through traffic along Linwood Avenue. All such widening would occur on properties owned by Valley Hospital. Inclusive in the widening program would be the installation of all new traffic signal equipment to meet current MUTCD and ADA standards, and an image detection system to promote efficient traffic signal performance. A concept plan of the proposed intersection layout for Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 2 is included in the Appendix. As part of Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 2, the Linwood Avenue signal would be proposed to operate as a four (4)-phase signal; a lead southbound North Van Dien Avenue phase, a North Van Dien Avenue phase, a lead westbound Linwood Avenue phase, and a Linwood Avenue phase. Under Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 2, the intersection timing would be changed to reflect optimal signal timing and coordination with the Linwood Avenue/North Pleasant Avenue intersection. C. Linwood Avenue/North Pleasant Avenue Intersection All of the upgrade techniques proposed in this location for Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1 are also proposed in this location for Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 2, with the exception of minor traffic signal timing modifications to provide for more efficient coordination along Linwood Avenue. D. Linwood Avenue/John Street/Hospital Driveway Intersection All of the upgrade techniques for this location proposed in Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative 1 are also proposed in this location for Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternative BUILD WITH OFF-SITE IMPROVEMENT LOS/CAPACITY ANALYSIS The goal of the Off-Site Improvement Alternatives is to reduce delays compared to both the No-Build and Build conditions across the entire roadway network. Specifically, it was identified that the locations that were in need of the greatest operational improvements are: North Van Dien Avenue northbound at the East Glen Avenue intersection during the weekday morning peak, North Van Dien Avenue southbound approach at Linwood Avenue, and Linwood Avenue westbound approach from North Pleasant Avenue to North Van Dien Avenue. For both of the Build Improvement Alternatives, the traffic improvement strategy at North Van Dien Avenue and East Glen Avenue is the same. With the installation of an all-way stop, gaps will be provided for the North Van Dien Avenue northbound movement. In addition, stopping all approaches at this intersection would be expected to allow for pedestrians to have more gaps in crossing East Glen Avenue. Both traffic improvement alternatives increase delay along East Glen Avenue, as under existing, no build and build 21

26 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY conditions, vehicles only experience delay along East Glen Avenue when they are stopped behind a left turning vehicle. The southbound approach of North Van Dien Avenue at Linwood Avenue intersection operates at a Level of Service D during the weekday morning and weekday evening peak hours and Level of Service E during weekday school dismissal under the no build condition. Under both of the traffic improvement alternatives, widening along North Van Dien allows for the construction of an exclusive left-turn lane to alleviate delay. This allows for an overall decrease in delay for the southbound approach and a Level of Service of B and C during the peak hours studied. Additionally, the decrease in delay, specifically during the school dismissal peak, allows for a significant decrease in delay for vehicles exiting the Hospital driveway. During the no build and build conditions, vehicles queue back along North Van Dien Avenue preventing cars from exiting the driveway to enter the roadway. With the traffic improvements explained above, the Level of Service F condition at the driveway becomes a Level of Service A. One of the most congested stretches of roadway within the study roadway network during both the existing, no build and build conditions is Linwood Avenue westbound from North Pleasant Avenue to North Van Dien Avenue. The existing Level of Service F condition is caused by a number of factors. The intersection signal timing at Linwood Avenue and North Van Dien is adjusted during the weekday morning and weekday school dismissal peak hour from a 70 second cycle with two-thirds of the time dedicated to Linwood Avenue to a 90 second cycle with half of the time dedicated to Linwood Avenue. This change in green time is provided to facilitate school children crossing Linwood Avenue, but does create backups along Linwood Avenue that extend back towards North Pleasant Avenue. The backups along Linwood Avenue downstream prevent vehicles from utilizing the allocated green time at the North Pleasant Avenue intersection. Additionally, left turning vehicles both at the Linwood Avenue/North Van Dien Avenue intersection and at the Linwood Avenue/North Pleasant Avenue intersection queue back and block vehicles attempting to travel through the intersection. As part of this study, various traffic improvement scenarios were investigated to determine the most effective strategy for alleviating the westbound Linwood Avenue delay. Alternative 1 provides more capacity and green time for the westbound direction, decreasing the amount of delay along Linwood Avenue westbound. However, the benefits of Alternative 1 are limited because queued left-turning vehicles from Linwood Avenue westbound will continue to prevent through vehicles from passing through the intersection. Alternative 2 provides significant capacity improvements by creating an additional exclusive left-turn lane at the North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue intersection, effectively eliminating the condition of through vehicles being blocked by left-turning vehicles. This traffic improvement strategy allows for a significant decrease in delay at all intersections to the east of North Van Dien Avenue/Linwood Avenue 22

27 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY intersection. With effective traffic upgrade strategies at the Linwood Avenue and North Van Dien Avenue intersection in place, the observed delay at proximate signals will be reduced or eliminated. Tables 1 through 30 in the Appendix compare the two (2) Off-Site Traffic Improvement Alternatives with the Existing, No Build, and Build Conditions Level of Service and Delay values. SITE CIRCULATION/PARKING SUPPLY Access to the site is proposed via the same three (3) access points that currently existing today, albeit slightly moved along the site frontage. The Hospital currently and is proposed to have one (1) full-movement driveway along Linwood Avenue and two (2) full-movement driveways along North Van Dien Avenue. The Hospital currently contains 562,000 square feet of space supported by 1,698 parking spaces. Additionally the Hospital has a shuttle that operates for employees from 611 Valley Health Plaza in Paramus, New Jersey which has 272 available parking spaces. In order to evaluate the existing parking utilization within the Hospital site, parking accumulation counts were conducted on Wednesday February 6, 2013 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on the Hospital grounds. Data was collected at hourly intervals throughout the entire Hospital site. Valley Hospital, like most other hospitals, has various parking reserved for particular users of the site. For purposes of this study, all spots reserved for employees and doctors were categorized as Hospital Staff Parking, and all other spots were considered Visitor Parking. There are 776 reserved staff parking spaces on-site and 272 parking spaces located at 611 Valley Plaza in Paramus for staff members to use. Visitor parking includes both emergency room and outpatient parking as well as the portion of the parking lot that operates as valet parking. Including the valet, the existing Hospital has a total of 922 parking spaces available for visitors. As summarized in Graph 1, the staff parking supply is generally 92% to 98% occupied from 9:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. A maximum of 98% occupancy rate was noted to occur approximate to the shift change period for the Hospital. Because the Hospital s 2 nd shift has fewer employees than the 1 st shift, the staff occupancy rate drops significantly starting at 4:00 p.m. Based upon the data collected during the parking study, visitor parking had an occupancy rate between 68% and 94% during the study period. As mentioned above, on Page 16, when a parking lot exceeds 90% occupancy it is generally perceived as full as users may have to recirculate within the site looking for a parking space. The occupancy rate of parking for visitors exceeds 90% from 1:00 p.m. through 3:00 p.m., including a peak of 94% at 2:00 p.m. 23

28 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Graph 1 Parking Occupancy Rates For Staff & Visitor Parking Percent Occupied 100% 90% 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 9:00 AM 10:00 AM Valley Hospital Parking Utilization 11:00 AM 12:00 PM 1:00 PM 2:00 PM 3:00 PM 4:00 PM 5:00 PM Time of Day Staff Only Parking Visitor Parking As part of the upgrades to Valley Hospital the total parking supply on the Hospital ground will increase from 1,698 parking spaces at present to 1,870 parking spaces in Phase 1 and to a total of 2,000 parking spaces in Phase 2. All of the increased parking will be dedicated to visitors increasing the total visitor parking supply to 1,224 parking spaces for visitors. With the increase in parking supply the visitor parking occupancy would be expected to fall from 94% at present to 79% in Phase 1 and to 71% in Phase 2. By reducing the occupancy rate, driver recirculation within the parking lots will be reduced as will the amount of emissions released by visitor s vehicles. Additionally, as outlined in the trip generation section of this report, the relocation of certain outpatient services off of the Valley Hospital grounds will reduce the number of employees and visitors to the Hospital. CONSTRUCTION TRAFFIC ANALYSES An evaluation of the impact that construction would have upon the network roadways was conducted based upon the anticipated construction schedule prepared by the Hospital s construction manager. It is expected that the primary route for construction materials to be delivered to the site would be from Route 17 via Linwood Avenue and East Glen Avenue. Based upon traffic data collected along Linwood Avenue, 1.5% of existing traffic can be classified as heavy vehicles. During construction various trucks are needed to deliver and remove material from the site. Typical trucks that will be used include small delivery vans, dump 24

29 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY trucks, and the occasional trailer truck. During the peak construction period, is expected that the percentage of truck traffic on Linwood Avenue would increase to anywhere from 1.6% to 2.6% depending on the intensity of the work being done on-site. Construction workers will be shuttled from an off-site parking lot via a 30 seat bus. Depending on the construction stage there will be 2 to 7 buses provided. During the initial stages of construction the northern parking structure that serves as parking for both visitors and employees will be dismantled. The visitor parking will be relocated on site through the reallocation of spaces currently designated as employee parking. The employee parking that is being lost will not be accommodated on-site during construction until after the new Phillips parking garage is constructed. As was done during previous projects on the Hospital site, employees will be shuttled into the site from various locations. This will reduce the number of employee trips to the Hospital during the construction period. CONCLUSIONS This Traffic Impact Study has been prepared to investigate the potential impacts of the proposed Amended Master Plan Amendment as it relates to the proposed upgrade of The Valley Hospital and the adjacent roadway network. As part of the Amended Master Plan the Hospital s size would be permitted to increase to 995,000 square feet, inclusive of roof-top structures. The purpose of the increase in hospital size is in an effort to update the facility and provide for modern care deliveries and technology. The right-sizing is not being proposed in an effort to capture latent demand, nor in an effort to increase market share. Therefore in accordance with industry standards the proposed trip calculations were determined using multivariable analyses that focused on those variables with the highest causation of trip generation. Through the detailed investigation of Hospital operations, in concert with the Hospital s strategy to move specific high-trip generating outpatient uses off-site, it was determined that the Hospital will experience a decrease during all peak hours as well as a decrease of 430 trips a day compared to the existing conditions. The analysis findings indicate that the proposed development will lessen the impact on the traffic operations of the adjacent roadway network. However, in an effort to rectify existing roadway congestion on the proximate roadway network, two (2) alternatives to manage the existing delay were investigated. Alternative 1 includes all of the off-site traffic improvement techniques outlined in the previous Master Plan Amendment. Those improvements include: Installing an all-way stop condition at the East Glen Avenue/North Van Dien Avenue/ Red Birch Avenue intersection 25

30 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY Widening Linwood Avenue along the Hospital frontage to permit two (2) lanes along the westbound approach in the vicinity of the traffic signal. The two (2) lanes would be designated as a shared left-turn/through lane, and exclusive right-turn lane. Widening North Van Dien along Hospital frontage to permit two (2) lanes in the southbound direction. The two (2) lanes would be designated as an exclusive left-turn lane and a shared through/right-turn lane. Additionally minor widening would be necessary along the other approaches to ensure that lanes will align properly and promote safe vehicular movements. Prohibiting left-turns into and left-turns out of John Street at Linwood Avenue Adding a vehicular detection system at the Linwood Avenue/North Pleasant Avenue and Linwood Avenue/North Van Dien Avenue intersection. Alternative 2 includes all of the off-site traffic improvement techniques outlined in the previous Master Plan Amendment, plus the following: Widening Linwood Avenue two (2) additional feet along the Hospital frontage to permit three (3) lanes along the westbound approach in the vicinity of the traffic signal. The three (3) lanes would be designated as exclusive left-turn, through, and right-turn lanes. A channelized right-turn lane for Linwood Avenue westbound with a refuge island to enhance pedestrian safety. The construction of a bus turnout along Linwood Avenue eastbound, located east of the North Van Dien intersection. All right-of-way required for the turnout is within property owned by the Hospital. The off-site traffic improvement techniques outlined in Alternative 2 provide strategies that as analyzed, are the most successful in enhancing traffic operations as well as pedestrian safety along the roadway network. By substantially reducing delay at the North Van Dien Avenue and Linwood Avenue intersection, Alternative 2 alleviates a significant choke point and point of aggravation for most Ridgewood drivers. All of the roadway improvements recommended in this report are along roadways under Bergen County jurisdiction and coordination with Bergen County will have to be undertaken to discuss the feasibility of the improvements. The existing visitor parking demand for the Hospital exceeds 90% of the available supply from 1:00 p.m. through 3:00 p.m. which is generally perceived to be full as users may have to recirculate within the site looking for a parking space. The existing visitor parking demand is 94% of the available supply during the 2:00 26

31 STONEFIELD E NGINEERING & DESIGN, LLC THE VALLEY HOSPITAL 223 NORTH VAN DIEN AVENUE VILLAGE OF RIDGEWOOD, BERGEN COUNTY, NEW JERSEY p.m. peak periods. By increasing the parking supply to 1,870 parking spaces in Phase 1, the occupancy rate will be reduced to 79%. This will lead to a reduction in driver recirculation within the parking lots, which will reduce the amount of vehicle emissions released by visitor s vehicles and likely reduce the opportunities for vehicular and pedestrian conflicts. The parking supply will be increased another 130 spaces to 2,000 spaces in Phase 2, thus further reducing the occupancy rate to 71% and the need for valet parking. It should be noted that only the visitor parking supply would be increased as part of the Amended Master Plan. The site driveways and on-site layout have been designed to provide for effective access to and from the subject property. During the period of construction, the Hospital has committed to managing the effects of the work on the Hospital grounds through various measures. Construction workers will be shuttled from an off-site location into the work site, which will eliminate any effects of construction worker traffic along the roadway network. When the existing northern parking garage is dismantled and during the construction of the Phillips Garage, parking will be provided for employees from an off-site location until the Phillips Garage is completed and opened. Employees would be shuttled into the site via an employee shuttle system similar to the employee shuttle that exists today and as was implemented during previous on-site construction projects. Overall the access and transportation improvement plan recommended in this report will not only benefit the employees and patrons of The Valley Hospital, but it will provide a significant benefit to the safety and efficiency of the existing adjacent roadway network.

33 LEVEL OF SERVICE/AVERAGE CONTROL DELAY CRITERIA A-2

34 LEVEL OF SERVICE /AVERAGE CONTROL DELAY CRITERIA The ability of a roadway to effectively accommodate traffic demand is determined through an assessment of the volume-to-capacity ratio, delay and Level of Service of the lane group and/or intersection. The volume-to-capacity ratio is the ratio of traffic flow rate to capacity for a given transportation facility. As defined within the Highway Capacity Manual 2010 (HCM 2010), intersection delay is the total additional travel time experienced by drivers, passengers, or pedestrians as a result of control measures and interaction with other users of the facility, divided by the volume departing from the corresponding cross section of the facility. Level of service is a qualitative measure describing operational conditions within a traffic stream, based on service measures such as speed and travel time, freedom to maneuver, traffic interruptions, comfort and convenience. For an unsignalized intersection, LOS A indicates operations with delay less than 10 seconds per vehicle, while LOS F describes operations with delay in excess of 50 seconds per vehicle. For a signalized intersection, LOS A indicates operations with delay less than 10 seconds per vehicle and LOS F denotes operations with delay in excess of 80 seconds per vehicle. Level Of Service (LOS) Signalized Delay Range (average control delay in sec/veh) Unsignalized Delay Range (average control delay in sec/veh) A <=10 <=10 B >10 and <=20 >10 and <=15 C >20 and <=35 >15 and <=25 D >35 and <=55 >25 and <=35 E >55 and <=80 >35 and <=50 F >80 >50 Source: Highway Capacity Manual 2010 A-3
