<br />e <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Ach <br />May 19, ]994 <br />Page Two <br /> <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 Super America 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 /> <br />3. <br /> <br />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 /> <br />e <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these comments, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />~~~ <br /> <br />Terry 1.
