WORK ORDER NO. 11 S.O.H. CENTER/WHITE ROAD WIDENING -TRAFFIC ACCESS STUDY URS GREINER WOODWARD CLYDE/ HAYFIELD VILLAGE AGREEMENT DATED FEBRUARY 3, 1998 This Work Order Task is being performed as an extension of the Professional Engineering Services Agreement between Mayfield Village and URS Greiner Woodward Clyde (URS) dated February 3, 1998. All terms and conditions stated therein are incorporated into this Work Order by reference. This Work Order represents new services being incorporated into the agreement as part of the genera! Nfodification No. 4, dated June 3,1999. SCOPE OF SERVICES The traffic access study will serve to establish a comprehensive traffic analysis of the Mayfield Village roadway system, taking into account access to and from major transportation corridors. In addition, intermodal facilities also will be addressed to assure compatibility between automobile, bicycle and pedestrian traffic. The scope of services presented represents our understanding of the Village's needs and review agency requirements. In preparing the study, URS will glean as much information as possible from the study prepared for North Chagrin Commons by Traff--Pro Consultants. However, it is felt that much of that data is outdated and/or inconsistent with the Village's current transportation plan. The following items will be addressed in this project: 1. Site Inspection and Data Collection -The study area will be inspected to collect existing roadway and traffic control features. The study area boundaries for this project are defined as follows: • S.O.M. Center Road to the east; • Wilson Mills Road to the south; • Minor Road to the west, and; • Interstate 90 to the north Through field visits, the study area will be inspected, and field sketches made, of existing roadways anticipated to be impacted by the development, paying particular attention to lengths of turning lanes, widths of travel lanes, sight distances, grades and existing traffic control. Existing and proposed roadway plans, traffic control plans and traffic counts will be collected from available sources, in an effort to develop an accurate basis of existing conditions. We will require the latest site plans for development in the area, including plans for Progressive Insurance and the Goldberg property. In addition, it would be very beneficial if we could obtain employee zip codes from Progressive insurance. That data could be used to substantiate new trip distribution patterns and may prove critical in our efforts to accurately assess roadway impacts. 2. Analyze Existing Conditions - URS will prepare an assessment of existing roadway conditions through schematic roadway drawings and capacity analysis. Schematic drawings will be prepared showing roadway lanes and adjacent development drive locations The existing roadway system will be analyzed to assess the existing levels of service (LOS) at key locations. This analysis will be conducted using the techniques outlined in the 1985 Highway Capacity Manual, Third Edition Updated 1994. Morning and P.M. peak-hour analyses will be performed.
