The new school is expected to have a student population of 800 students at f ll occupancy. The proposed school will be located on an imdeveloped parcel between Boxford Street and poster Street, with the access drive located on Boxford Street approximately I/a mile east of Salem Street. Land use in the area is entirely residential and opera space. A.site location neap can be seen in Figure 1. Definitions The f'ollowbig are brief definitions of terminology used in this report: ,AM Peak Dour= One hour is the morningwhen traffic is heaviest. This coincides with both peak commuter times and start of school,ilsuallybetween 7:00- 9:00 PM. School PM Peak Hoar= One hour in the tnid.-afternoon when traffic is heaviest, This coincides with school zelease,usually between 2:00-4:00 PM. Commuter PM Peak Hour= One hour in the afternoon when traffic is heaviest. This coincides with peak commuter tittles,usually beWeen 4:00-6:00 PM. LOS = Level. of Service is a quantitative measrire used to describe the operation of an intersection. Level of Service values range from LOS A to LOS F. LOS A represents very good operation. and LOS R represents very poor levels of service. Genei ally, LOS A through D are considered acceptable while LOS E and F are considered deficient. Details of the criteria are available in the Appendix.. Delay= Average delay per vehicle in seconds.

It is a winding rural roadway consisting of one lane in each direction,separated by a double yellow center line(DYCL) and also has solid white edge lines (SWEL) on both sides of the goad. The posted speed limit is 35 mph. Abutting land we is primarily residential in nature. Study Area Intersections Boxford Street/Salein SlreetlFoster Stteet This four-way intersection unsignalized intersection consists of Salem Street approachng from the west and south, Boxford Street approaching from the east and Foster Street approaching from the north. Salem Street eastbound and Boxford Street westbound are,the iainline,while Salerii Street northbound and Foster Street southbound are under Stop sign control, The mainline of Boxford Sheet and Salem Street eastbound is 29 feet wine with a DYCL acid MEL on both sides of the roadway. The ao lffibound and southbotuid approaches are slightly offset from each other. Salem Street northbound includes a small island acid a DYCL separate the approach f-om the departure and S'UVEL on both sides of the roadway. Salem Street northbound is 26 feet wide, but flares out considerably at the intersection. Foster Slxeet is 26 feet wide,but also flares out at the intersection. 'there is also a sight distance issue for a vehicle stopped on Faster Street looking to the right(west). Presently au embai�Amient and trees restrict sight distance. Vehicles from Foster Street milst pull up into the intersection to have a clear view of the'westbound approaching traffic on 13oxford Street, Both Salem Street norflibonrid and Foster Street contain Stop-signs but no Stop-lines, I.,and use is the area is residential. Our field investigation revealed that it may be unclear to some drivers which approaches have the right of way at the intersection, Furthermore, it was noted during the field visit that a vehicle traveling on the mainline stopped to allow a side street vehicle to pull out. Boxford StreetlForest Street This three-wayunsignaliGed intersection consists of Boxford Street running in an east/west direction and Forest Street approaching from the south. Boxford Street is the mainline while Forest Street is under Stop sign control. forest Street is a narrow 20 foot wide roadway with no pavement marldngs. Boxford Sh-eat/SMnecleave.W oad This three-way iinsignalized intersection consists of Boxford Street running in an east/west direction and Stonecicave Road approaching fTom the north. Boxford Street is the MailAbje,while Stonecleave is under Stop-control. Stonecleave is a 25 foot wide, dead end subdivision roadway.

From the AM and PM traffic counts, the four highest consecutive 15 minute intervals were selected to identify the commuter peak hogs. In addition,the school peak hour Found between the hours of 2:00 to 4:00 pM was analyzed. Peak hour volumes are presented on the study area,traffic networks. The raw volumes were then balanced between intersections. Observations regarding pedestrian volumes,bicycle activity and tmok activity were also recorded in addition to the vehicle counts. The peals hours varied sornewhatby intersection,but were generally considered to be 7:30-8:30 AM, 3:00-4:00 PM(School PM) and 5:00,6:00 PM. To deterniine whether the April trraffic cowit data required a seasonal adjustment,the MassHighway weekday seasonal adjustment factors worksheet was reviewed. The MassHighway seasonal factors are based on statewide traffic data collection and are classified by roadway type. Group 6 (urban arterials, collectors and rural at.�terials), was used to determine that April traffic is typically higher than average monthly traffic coDditions, To be conservative, no adjustments were, made to the volm-Des. The seasonal factor sheets can be fbimd in the Appendix. The 2002 Existing peak hour traffic networks are presented in. Figure I Table l shows the total entering volume at each intersection during the weekday AM, School PM, and Commuter PM peak hours.

These actual values will be compared to the computed delays in a later section of the report. Sight Distance Available sight distance is critical in establishing safe maneuverability of vehicles entering and exiting driveways and intersections. Adequate sight distance is based on the available sight lines and the speed in which vehicles are traveling. The posted travel speed directly in front ofthe site drive is 35 mph. In addition,BC&A conducted speed vials to measure the gravel Speed of vehicles passing the site; on average,both eastbound and westbound vehicles measured 39 inph.

Available Sight distance was measured based on the proposed location of the school access drive. Sight distance would be approximately 430 feet at this location. According to the 4tf'Edition of the,Poltcy on Geometric Design ofl-righways anal Stmetst,for a travel speed of 35 mph, a sight distance of 335 feet is required, and for a speed of 40 n1ph 385 feet is required. Therefore,the sight distance at the proposed site chive will meet AASIiTO requirements in both directions, Accident History A accident data summary for the Study area intersections was obtained fron-.the Registry of Motor Vehicle tiles, maintained by MassHighway, for the years 1999, 2000 and 2001, Table 2 summarizes the reported accidents, In addition, the crash Fate was also calculated and compared to the Massachusetts average. It was noted that:the "Crash Rate" for all of the intersection were calculated to be lower than the State Average. Table 2 Accident Data Summary ', ': ; ; i'.

The North Andover Planning Department was contacted to identify as annual growth rate, and background develops-tents. The planning department did not have a background growth rate available;therefore,to be consistent with previous studies for BC&A conducted in North Andover, a growth rate of 1%per year was used. The planning depaitment identified the proposed new fire station at the corner of Salem Street/Boxford Street as the only known area project. Fire stations are typically'very low traffic generators, and therefore it was assumed any additional traffic due to the fire station will be accounted for in the background growth rate. Therefore,the 2002 traffic volumes were increased by 5,10/a (I% compounded for 5 years). Thew volumes are shown in Figure 3, 2007 No Build Level of Service Anolysir. Level of'service analysis was performed for the 2007 No Build condition with the same assumptions as the existing analysis. The LOS results are shown in Table 5.

The Town of North Andover presently has five elementary schools,with students di5t6buted to schools based on geographical location. According to the school department, this is expected to continue with the opening of the proposed school. Using the percentage of residential houses in the area likely to use particular routes to the school,a trip distribution was established. According to this breakdown 25% of vehicles will approach via Salenal Street to the west, 25% of vehicles will approach via. Salem Street to the south,22%of vehicles will approach via Foster Street to the nor th, 15%Of vehicles will approach via Forest Street to the south,71/10 of vehicles will approach via Boxford Street to the east, and 2%will approach via Stonecleave Road. In addition, approximately 4%will be from Boxford Street and Candlestick Road near the site and will not show up at any study area intersections except for the site drive.

This will allow through traffic to by-pass vehicles which are turning tight to enter the school. Salem StreetBoxford Street/Foster Street This four-way intersection presently operates at LOS E and will operate at LOS F with or without tli.e school project in place. The poor level of service is due Mainly to the high number of left turns on the northbound approach. Of tuore conceim than the poor level of set-vice is the existing aligrmlent and delineation at the intersection. The noillhbound and southbound approaches are offset from each other, creating awkward movements. In addition stop-lines are not present. Also there is an intersection sight distance issue for vehicles traveling on Foster Street southbound looking to the right (west). 'Vehicles must pull into the intersection to see past an enabankment and trees. At a mirrAniurn, the trees should be trimmed and/or removed to improve the sight distance for this location. Furthermore, the stop lines should be repainted for the northbound and southbound approaches. A traffic signal warrant analysis was performed to detem-nine if installation of a traffic signal would be warranted under 2007 Build conditions. The 2000 Edition of the Maxtual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MtJTCD) contains a total of eight signal warrants; none of these warrants are met using 2007 Build condition traffic vohunes. CONCLUSION The Town of North Andover is proposing to build a new 900 student elementary school on Boxford Street in North Andover Massachusetts, Based on the ITE 7-Hp Generation manual,an 800 student elementaty school will generate 770 total trips per weekday resulting in 232 total trips during this weekday AM peals hour,208 total trips dtxtting the School PM peak hour and 56 total trips during the Commuter PM peak hour. There are ininimal impacts at the school 6dve and at the analyzed intersections, It should be noted that a soccer complex has been proposed and is currently under construction adjacent to the school site. This complex was not Anticipated at the time of this study and therefore any traffic impacts of the soccer complex are not reflected in this study, A supplemental study will follow to reflect the soccer complex tt�affic impacts to the study area,, Ref,2531HPORT,DOC Page 10 Mce Campbell&Associates 6/03
