Mr. Steve Ach • <br /> May 19, 1994 <br /> Page Two <br /> We have made rough measurements in the field of the existing street width, the <br /> boulevard areas on both sides, and the parking lots of the SuperAmerica and Burger <br /> Time Restaurant in the vicinity of the intersection with Main Street. We believe it will <br /> be very difficult, if not impossible, to construct a widened Carson Street to <br /> accommodate a right turn lane without major disruption to either or both of these <br /> businesses. On the SuperAmerica side, there is an approximately 5-foot wide grassy <br /> area before the start of the parking lot, and on the Burger Time side, there is <br /> approximately 11 feet of grass area before the parking lot. We would recommend, prior <br /> to approval of this development, that a plan be submitted showing in detail how these <br /> improvements to Carson Street can be constructed without negatively impacting the <br /> existing businesses. <br /> 3. It should be noted that the traffic study indicates an accident record at the Main Street/ <br /> Carson Street intersection of about 15 accidents over a four year period. This appears <br /> to be a significantly high number of accidents for an intersection with a relatively low <br /> traffic count on the side street. Even if the proposed development should not proceed, <br /> therefore no improvements being made to Carson Street, we would recommend that <br /> consideration be given to requiring Carson Street improvements in an effort to eliminate • <br /> as many accidents as possible. <br /> If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> Terry J. Maurer, P.E. <br /> TJM:tw <br /> 221-1901.may <br /> • <br />
