Re: Town of Southold Traffic Study Proposal
.
Dear Supervisor Murphy:
.
In response to your 5 June 1988 request, Cashin Associates, P.C. (CA)
is pleased to submit the attached proposal fpr Consulting Engineering
Services required for the proposed Town of Southold traffic study.
The document describes CA' s technical approach to the project and
includes our fee proposal for the work. Moreover, it summarizes CA' s
corporate qualifications for projects of this nature and it specifies
the project team that will be employed on this study.
.
You will note from the attached that CA is extremely well qualified to
perform the Southold study. We have the staff personnel to address
all of the related transportation, planning, legal, environmental and
socio-economic issues that may arise during the course of the
project. CA also has the full array of transportation planning and
analytical models required for this study. We have utilized them on
comparable studies and they are up and running on our computers. We
also have the capability to anaiyze the secondary impacts of traffic
congestion such as air pollution and noise.
.
.
From our office in Port Jefferson Station, we are weli located to
respond efficiently to the Towns needs. With regard to our fee
proposal, it is based on what CA considers to be a reasonable level of
effort for a study which encompasses an area of over 4-6 square miles
and numerous miles of roadways. A major component of our estimated
fee depends on a number of site specific traffic counts that must be
performed. At this time, we can only speculate as to their number and
location. If they can be reduced because of available data or other
factors, the cost of the study can be reduced proportionately.

SECTION 1
TECHNICAL PROPOSAL
Proiect Overview
.
The purpose of the traffic study contemplated by the Town of
Southold is to identify present and future traffic related problems
within the Town and to prescribe their solutions. Five required and
one optional task have been identified as necessary to accomplish
this goal. They have been defined in the Town of Southold's 5 July
1988 Request for Proposal (RFP) to include:
.
.
.
Task 1 - Definition of current level of traffic (volume) and its
geographical distribution.
Task 2 Forecast of traffic volumes and their directional
distribution through calendar year 2020. Presently, the study years
considered are 1988, 1995, 2005 and 2020. However, the actual study
years may be revised once the study is underway.
Task 3 - Analysis of the Town's current arterial roadway system
vis-a-vis current and projected traffic volumes. These analyses
will include volume capacity (V/C), Level of Service (LOS), delay
time (T) and accident frequency forecasts.
Task 4 Develop recommendations for roadway improvements to
mitigate present and projected roadway deficiencies.
Task 5 - Inventory extant municipal parking in the hamlet business
areas of Mattituck, Cutchogue, Southold and Orient and develop
projections of parking needs for those areas for each of the study
years. Identify suggested locations for parking facility expansion
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
and review alternative publ ic and private sector financing for the
necessary improvements.
Task 6 - Review other issues or projects which the Town may wish to
consider. These optional services may include exercise trails and
bicycle paths along roadways in the Town.
.
.
In addition to the traffic related impacts identified in the Town's
RFP, CA suggests that the study consider the secondary impacts of
future traffic. These secondary impacts include, among others,
noise and air pollution from increased traffic congestion, and the
environmental, social, and economic impacts of proposed roadway,
trail and parking lot improvements.
.
.
To complete the Traffic Study, CA will employ its large and
experienced staff of transportation planners, urban planners,
environmental scientists, civil and environmental engineers and its
on-staff legal advisor. CA will also employ its comprehensive array
of computer based traffic, noise and air quality models. CA's
personnel are fully versed in the use of these models and have
utilized them on numerous transportation planning projects. An
optional service CA can provide is to supply the Town's planning
staff with these computer based tools to analyze the impacts of
proposed developments within the Town. Once the models have been
calibrated for the conditions unique to the Town of Southold, CA can
install the necessary software in the Town's computers. CA can also
train Town personnel on their use. Ready access to these "state-of-
the-art" transportation planning models will assist the Town in
.
.
.
.
.
.
identifying the potential impacts of proposed projects in a timely
and cost effective manner.
.
The following description summarizes CA's approach to each study
task.
.
Task 1
.
.
CA will describe current traffic volumes and the directional
distribution on the Town's major roadways and ferry terminals. As a
first step, CA will gather all relevant traffic statistics from the
New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the Suffol k
County Department of Public Works (SCDPW), the Suffolk County
Department of Planning, the Town of Southold Department of Planning,
the Town of Southold Highway Department and the respective ferry
service companies. Once these data are assimulated, CA will
identify areas which require additional data support.
.
.
.
Summer and harvest season tourism constitutes a major segment of the
Town of Southold's economy. Accordingly, traffic patterns undergo
significant seasonal fluctuation. For planning purposes,
predictions of future off-season traffic volumes can be reasonably
made by use of demographic and land use parameters. During the
anomalous seasons, when traffic volumes are not directly related to
resident population, field studies are necessary to describe volume
and geographic distribution. To ensure the veracity of the study
findings, CA strongly suggests that traffic data be obtained during
.
.
.
.
.
the peak traffi c seasons. Duri ng the
develop traffic vol ume data at several
calibrate traffic model outputs.
non-peak seasons, CA wi 11
locations to confirm and
.
Once the available data is compiled, CA will conduct synoptic
machine counts, turning movement counts, and vehicle classification
counts at selected roadways and intersections. Based upon our
preliminary evaluation, CA suggests that seven day, 24 hour machine
counts be developed at the locations listed below.
.
.
1. RiverheadjSouthold townline - Sound Avenue
2 . RiverheadjSouthold townline - Main Street (SR 25)
3 . RiverheadjSouthold townline - Peconic Bay Boulevard
4 . Middle Road (CR 27) - west of Depot Lane
5 . Main Street (SR 25) - east of Skunk Lane
6. Middle Road (CR 27) - west of Peconic Lane
7. Main Road (SR 25) - west of Moore Lane
8. Sound View Avenue (CR 48) - west of Moore Lane
9 . Main Road (SR 25) - east of Main Street
10. Main Road (SR 25) - west of Orient Beach Park entrance
.
.
.
.
Machine traffic counts are performed by use of mechanical devices
which can count directional traffic volumes at a particular location
for a long period of time. The data obtained are used as input to
the traffic planning and analysis models to estimate LOS, VjC ratios
and travel delay times. The listing of actual locations to be
.
.
.
measured will be finalized with Town officials once all the
available data is analyzed. These additional locations may include:
.
~ r./bVJ'o;~
~
New Suffolk Avenue - between Linden Boulevard and 5th Street
1.
2. Main Street (SR 25) - west of Linden Avenue
.
3. Oregon Road - west of Depot Lane
.
4. Main Street (SR 25) - west of Eugene Road
5. Bayview Road - south of Pine Neck Road
6. Sound View Avenue (CR 48) - west of Kenny Road
7. Middle Road (CR 27) - west of Sound View Avenue (CR 48)
.
CA prel iminarily proposes to conduct turning movement counts and
vehicle classification counts at the following intersections:
.
1. Main Road at Sound Avenue and Love Lane Wd",,-- ft--
p~~ B=r BYJd.
2 . Main Road at Skunk Lane ~~.A-v<. .
3. Main Road at Ackerly Pond Road o,vth 2/-.
u
.
4 . Middle Road at Youngs Avenue M~ f:z,,,.t~ ~
<bMs~ A "* ~ (2cc...,l
.
These studies identify the volume and directional split of trafic at
an intersection during critical and peak volume periods. These peak
periods include the morning commuter peak, the evening commuter
.
peak, and the peak periods during the weekend when recreational
trips and shopping trips are dominant. These data are also used in
the various computer models to calculate traffic flow and delay
parameters.
The actual locations to be studied will be finalized
.
.
.
with the Town once all existing data is analyzed. These additional
locations may include:
.
.
l. Sound Avenue at Middle Road
2 . Main Road at New Suffolk Avenue /
3. Middle Road at New Middle Road and Wickham Avenue ~
4. Main Road at Budge Lane ?
,
5. Main Road at Peconic Lane ./'
6. Main Road at Corwin Lane, Pine Neck Road and Bayview Road v
7. Main Road at Youngs Avenue ./
8 . Main Road at Main Street ,/
.
.
For the purposes of the cost proposal, CA has assumed that machine
traffic counts will be conducted at 10 locations and turning
.
movement counts at 4 locations.
Other locations can be added as
optional services if desired by the Town.
.
CA will conduct travel time surveys on selected roadway links during
peak and normal traffic volume periods.
This survey consists of
timing the length of time required for a vehicle to traverse a link
.
of roadway segments.
The specific links to be studied in this
fashion will be determined after the other data cited above is
.
gathered. For the purpose of this proposal, CA estimates that time
of travel surveys will be conducted at various locations throughout
the Town.
.
.
.
.
In developing the basic data for the study, CA will contact the
Greenport and Orient Point Ferry Companies to obtain statistics on
the volume and type of vehicles that use the service daily,
seasonally and annually. CA will also obtain available information
.
on projected changes in servi ce.
traffic forecasting models.
These data will be used in the
.
Although not mentioned in the RFP, CA suggests that data and
projections be obtained from the Long Island Railroad and Suffolk
County Transit regarding current and future passenger volumes.
These mass transportation systems could have an appreciable impact
on future seasonal traffic volumes and should be included in the
~
.
study, if it is to be comprehensive.
The data rel ated to these
.
modes of transportation will also be used in the forecasting models.
At the conclusion of Task 1, the data required to describe the
current traffic volumes and its directional distribution will have
.
been gathered.
Task 2
.
.
Once the necessary data has been gathered, CA will employ both
manual and computer based modeling techniques to forecast the
traffic volumes and its
study years. At present,
directional distribution
the study years are 1~
for each of the
?
.
1990, 1995, 2005
.
and 2020. The study years may be revised after discussion with the
.
.
/
.
Town Board. For example, study years 1990, 2000, 2010 and 2020
might be a more useful temporal distribution.
.
The principal model CA will employ for this task is entitled; "The
1988 Quick Response System Regional Transportation Planning Model",
(QRS). Based on present and future population and land use
information to be supplied by the Town, the model will assist CA in
defining area specific trip generation rates and totals, directional
distribution of traffic volumes, modal splits and traffic-transit
trip assignments. These data will be developed for each of the
study years. For the purpose of this proposal, CA has assumed that
the Town will provide all estimates of future population and land
use for the Town as a whole and in the hamlet districts.
.
.
.
Task 3
.
Based on the projected volumes and the directional distribution of
traffic for the respective study years developed under Task 2, CA
will analyze the Town's arterial roadway networks abil ity to handle
current and projected traffi c vol urnes. CA wi 11 employ both manual
and computer model i ng techn i ques to perform these funct ions. The
principal models employed for this task will be the Institute of
Traffic Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Model and the Federal
Highway Administration 1985 Highway Capacity Manual Model. The
former will be used to estimate the traffic generated from major
traffic generators and the attractors. The latter model will be
used to estimate the V/C ratios, LOS and travel delay times (T) for
.
.
.
.
.
major intersections and arterial links for each of the study years.
The increase in accident rates and accident events at critical
.
locations will be forecast by use of manual stocastic methodologies.
If requested by the Town, CA will evaluate the increases in air and
noise pollution due to traffic by use of its computer and manual
.
models.
These models include Caline 3 and Optima II for traffic
related air and noise pollution, respectively.
.
Task 4
.
.
Based on Task 3 outputs, a 1 isting of roadway improvements will be
developed for each of the planning intervals. The purpose of these
improvements is to mitigate existing congestion as well as traffic
related problems forecast for the future. CA will also provide cost
estimates and cost benefit analyses for each of the identified
improvements.
CA will obtain large scale 1":400' aerial
.
photographics of the Town's major roadways for use in this
improvement planning.
~~
Il/~~'~
cW~-
.
Task 5
.
Under this task CA will evaluate the municipal parking needs for
each of the Town's hamlet districts. The existing facilities will
be inventoried by use of aerial photographs and on-site inspections.
Forecasts of future needs will be based on the ITE Parking
.
Generat i on Handbook.
CA will identify areas for future parking
.
.
.
facility expansion based on the identified need for additional
parking, minimization of adverse environmental impacts and
minimization of social and economic disruption. Preliminary cost
estimates of the improvements will be developed and alternative
means of financing and operating the facilities will be discussed.
CA's in-house attorney and economist will assist the study team for
this facet of the project. CA's in-house attorney has extensive
experience with both private and municipal financing scenarios for
public projects.
.
.
Task 6
.
.
As an optional service, CA will consider other issues or projects
identified by the Town. These may include bicycle paths and
exercise trails along major Town roadways, identification of means
to enhance mass transit within the Town, and instruction of Town
personnel on the use of computer based transportation planning
models.
.
.
The findings and conclusions of the above work tasks will be
summarized in a traffic engineering report. The report will first
be submitted to the Town in draft form for review and comment.
Based on the Town's review, a final report will be prepared and
submitted. It is expected that this study will take six months to
complete.
.
.

SECTION 4
. PROPOSED PROJECT TEAM
4.1 General Descriotion of CA Staff
.
.
With a staff of approximately 65, CA has in-house expertise in
the various disciplines required for the Town of Southold
study, including traffic/transportation engineers, civil
engineers, urban planners, environmental analysts and field
inspectors. CA has completed projects similar to that required
by Southold, and CA personnel are familiar with the traffic and
land use issues presently facing Long Island's eastern
townships. The transportation division is equipped with the
transportation and traffic computer models most suited for the
Southold study. CA's planners and environmental scientists can
provide the planning and land use input also required for the
project.
.
.
.
.
