22-49 Traffic

CREC's traffic Consultant McMahon Transportation. Engineers and Planners has analyzed the intersection of Pascoag Main and South Main Street Intersection's Level of Service (LOS) and reported that it degrades to "E" during construction for "short periods.

The peak construction period (FNTP - Underground) was analyzed as it is the busiest phase for construction vehicles. This third construction phase is expected to generate approximately 70 construction delivery trucks per day for the nine month duration, as described in the traffic impact study. The next phase of construction (FNTP - Above Ground), is expected to be the first phase where the water trucks will be needed at the proposed site. This fourth construction phase, however, is expected to generate approximately 25 construction vehicles per day, significantly lower than the expected 70 construction delivery trucks per day in the previous construction phase.  Despite the addition of the water trucks to the fourth construction phase, the total number of trucks is still much less than the third construction phase.

The number of vehicles expected through the referenced intersection post-construction and during water fill and oil fill operations is less than during the peak construction period, and therefore, it is not necessary to evaluate that scenario.
