1- P' 1 I 1. 1 <br />"Has there been a study made as to the effect that center dividers <br />(raised medians) will have on currently established businesses that are , <br />on Bristol Street ?" <br />As part of the overall circulation analysis the traffic impacts of limiting <br />left -turn movements to businesses along Bristol Street were considered. _ <br />The intersection capacity evaluations and operational improvements <br />address the need for additional capacity and tarn lane storage lengths <br />to accommodate traffic that will be redirected to adjacent intersections _ <br />with the median_ <br />No specific assessment of the economic impacts was conducted. <br />However, past experience has shown that the benefits of exposure to <br />higher traffic volumes generally offsets the loss of left -turn access that <br />will result with a raised median. <br />Comment by: J.L. McGowan <br />1. "How much are we going to increase the pollution on Bristol <br />Street ?" <br />In the future design year (2006) the increase in average route speeds <br />along Bristol Street will cause a decrease in carbon monoxide emissions <br />(3666 pounds /day) and total hydrocarbon emissions (376 pounds /day) <br />and an increase in nitrogen dioxide emissions (5 pounds /day). No <br />change is expected in sulfur oxides and particulate emissions. <br />Comments by: Miles Leach (paraphrased) <br />1. "Will cul -de -sacs improve safety or will the additional distance <br />that vehicles have to travel expose them to additional accidents, <br />off- setting the benefits ?" <br />W <br />fn all cases the farthest distance residential traffic would be diverted is <br />1,550'. This is a negligible distance traveled on local streets, which in — <br />nearly every case, have much lower accident incidences than <br />arterial /local street intersections.
