Robert Cunningham -5- January 27, 1998 �' • Tra�c Counts Daily traffic counts (24 hour) were taken along Sunnyside Road, Eastwood Drive and Greenwood Drive. P.M. peak hour counts were also conducted at the intersection of Eastwood Drive at County Road I and at the intersection of T.H. 10 at County Road I. The results of the daily traffic counts are as follows: Table 1 Average Daily Traffic Location Avera e Daily Traffic Sunnyside Road just north of T.H. 10 192 vehicles Eastwood Drive just north of County Road I 330 vehicles Greenwood Drive just north of County Road I 510 vehicles The 330 vehicles counted at Eastwood Drive would be the key to the rerouting of traf�ic through the neighborhood. Where do these 330 vehicles go when Eastwood Drive is closed? This will be discussed shortly in the Trip Distribution section. • License Plate Survey A license plate survey was performed along Eastwood Drive between Hillview Road and County Road I during the afternoon peak period to determine the number of vehicles using Eastwood Drive to access other parts of the neighborhood and those vehicles actually destined to the block of Eastwood Drive between County Road I and Hillview Road. The results of the survey found that 43% of vehicles were actually destined to/from the homes along Eastwood Drive south of Hillview Road. The remaining 57% of the vehicles pass through on their way to/from other parts of the neighborhood. Most of these motorists are oriented to or from the north or west. • Trip Distribution A trip distribution process was performed to determine the eYpected rerouting of trips that would occur when Eastwood Drive would be closed at County Road I. The 330 vehicles counted on Eastwood Drive near the County Road I intersection will redistribute through the neighborhood using six primary access points. Figure 2 shows the expected rerouting of the existing 330 daily vehicle trips through the neighborhood. Table 2 summarizes the eYpected vehicle volume increases at the main access locations within the neighborhood.
