Response to August 13th Comments from Public Works Department - Traffic
CGA Project No.. 02-2544
Dear Mr Rumpf'
1be following addresses the AUgUst 13th comments regarding the proposed development
of Quantum Village at Quantum Park Lot 89B recently received from the City's Public
Works Department regarding outstanding traffic issues.
In an effort to clarify these issues, Calvin, Giordano & Associates will address each of the
traffic e.ngmeenng comments individually under this separate cover-letter This method
should proVIde you WIth the necessary information requested in a clear and conCIse
manner
1be August 13. 2002 comments are restated below in bold, with our response italiCIzed.
3. Prior to issuance of any building permits the Developer shall evaluate the
impact of traffic (turning IOOvements) on High Ridge Road, particularly at
the entrance to the Tri-Rail Station (unnamed road), at Gateway Boulevard
and at the proposed entrances into the residential portions of the project
(east and west from IDgh Ridge Road), based on full build-out of the
residential and commercial properties for traffic signals. If signals are found
to be warranted, the Developer shall post a Letter of Credit in the amount of
110% of the estimated cost of signal installation against construction of the
signal. If signals are not warranted the Developer shall post a Letter of
Credit in the amount of 50% of the estimated cost of signal installation
against future construction of the signal based upon future development and
full build-out of the properties along the west side of IDgh Ridge Road north
and south of this proposed project. Posting of the Letters of Credit shall be
required prior to issuance of any building permits. The Letter of Credit
shall expire three (3) years from its date of issue if the other off-site
improvements/developments do not proceed as anticipated.

Signal Warrant AnalysiS for High Ridge Road at Gateway Boulevard
The intersection of HIgh Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard IS currently signalized. Therefore,
a signal warrant analysis was not peifonned.
Signal Warrant Analysis/or High .Ridge Road at Project's Driveway
Quantum Village East (Lot 89B) is proposed to include 39 multi-family dwelling units, while the
development to the West will include 136 multi-family dwelling units. Based upon trip
generation Cmalysis for this intensity, as summarized in Table 1, a total of 89 AM peak hour trips
and 108 PM peak hour trips will be generated by both residential developments. The trips for
each development were then distributed based upon the proximity of Gateway Boulevard and 1-
'95, assuming a significant majority of the trips generated by these residential developments will
be oriented towards Gateway Boulevard. Figure 1 graphically depicts the proposed peak hour
turning movement volumes for the two developments.
~
Comments from City staff.have indicated the need to assess whether or not a traffic signal is
warranted ai the intersection .serving both Quantum East (Lot 89B) and' Quantum Weston High
Ridge Road. Traffic signals must meet implementation "warrants" as outlined in the Manual on
Unifonn Traffic Control Devices, Millennium Edition (MUTCD 2()()())~ based upon minimum
vehicular volumes for the major street (High Ridge Road) and the minor street (driveway
connection to Quantum East and Quantum West).
Warrant #1 (Eight-hour vehicular Volume) provides minimum hourly thresholds over an eight-
hour period that must be met by both the major and minor street to implement a traffic signal.
Assuming that High Ridge Road includes two lanes in the northbound and southbound direction
while the minor street. has only one lane, traffic volumes per hour on the higher-volume
approach for the minor street must exceed 100 vehicles for eight (8) hours during an average
day Based on the attached trip generation analysis, the approach serving Quantum West (136
dwelling units which represents the largest approach volume) will only generate 58 trips during
the AM peak hour This volume will decrease dramatically during off-peak hours. Th.p.rpfnrp.,
Warrant HI will not hp. mp.t hy huildnut rifthp. prnjp.r.t
Warrant #3 (Peak Hour) is intendedfor intersections where the peak hour volume is sufficient to
cause significant traffic delays to the minor street for a minimum of one (1) hour during an
average day ThIs warrant is based upon corresponding minimum vehicular volume thresholds
for both the minor and major street. For example, as the amount of hourly volume increases on
the major street, the amount of minor street volume necessary to meet the warrant is decreased.
Given the number of lanes provided on High Ridge Road and the minor street approach with the
highest hourly volume, a minimum thre$hold of 100 vehicles during anyone (1) hour of an
average day must be present on the minor street approach (assuming that a hourly volume on
High Ridge Road exceeds 1,700 vehicles per hour does not occur). Sinre thp. maximum hnurly

Signal WalTant Analysis for High Ridge Road at Tri-Rail Station Driveway
Pursuant to the Inventory of Land Uses and Vested trips for Quantum Park, the Tri-Rail Station,
which is served by a single access driveway that intersects with High Ridge Road, is estimated to
generate 633 daily trips. Located approximately 500 feet south of the driveway proposed to
serve the residential development of Quantum Village East and Quantum Village West, the
number of trips using the Tri-Rail Station driveway is approximately one-half that expected to
use the residential driveway. Sinr.e the Tri-Rail.Statinn dne..; nnte generate mnre peak Mur trip.;

4. As is being done with the Quantum Park and Villages South, the City will help facilitate it
"Recapture" agreement. The Oty will instigate new traflk studies as development condoues
on the north side of Gateway Blvd. and work to have the developers reimbursed' based on the
percent benefit each acquires from sign.QJi7~tion.
Noted.
s. If a signal is not found to be required at this time, re-evaluate stopping sight distances for the
southbound lanes of High Ridge Road approaching the north commerciai entrance. It will be
necessary to eliminate landscaping, concrete walls and provide additional signage to provide
adequate advance notice for traffic approaching this driveway.
Since the intersection of High Ridge Road and the North Commercial driveway.entrance does not
meet warrants for signalization, stopping sight distances were evaluated at this intersection to
detennine the potential impact re~ulting from the development of the adjacent residential parcel
immediately to the north.
Based upon a design speed of 35 miles per hour (although the posted speed limit is 30 miles per
hour), approximately 360 feet of sight distance must be provided at the North Commercial
driveway connection to High Ridge Road, per Palm Beach County and City of Boynton Beach
design standards. A review of the proposed site plan indicates that sufficient sight distance will be
provided at the North Commercial driveway connection, provided landscaping and other visual
obstructions are eliminated from the line of sight.
Based upon design standards, vegetation located in the sight distance area immediately north of
the commercraZ driveway will hI'. hel.nw :w inr.hP.... in height (prpferahly P.vP.n Ie...s) nrgrP.fltp.r than

mcludes canopy limbs that may inadvertently extend into the required visibility area.

6. A Permit to Construct within the Public Right-of-Way, issued by the Engineering Division of
Public Works, will be required for work on Gateway Boulevard. Permits may also be
required from Palm 'Beach County and the Quantum Park POA for work on High Ridge
Road and Gateway Boulevard.
Noted.
7 . Relocate the "transition" (three to two-lane northbound) on High Ridge Road (adjacent to
Lot 89B) north, so that the three-lane section extends to the north property line of Lot 89B.
This is to prevent turning ,~vement and stacking conflicts for traffic entering the east and
west residential developments. Show proposed off-site roadway improvements (signing,
striping, curb, curb & gutter, pavement, etc.) for High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard.
The "transition" section of .High Ridge Road. where the northbound outside through lane is
merged with the northbound inside through lane, corresponds with the approximate location of the
residential driveway that wiU serve Lot 898. -Instead of extending the merge section further to the
north, we propose to utilize the northbound outside through lane, which is being dropped, as a
northbound right.,.tum lane serving the res~ntial community. This will better define the flow of
traffic in the vicinity of the site by removing the' northbound trips .oriented to Lot 89B from the
northbound through movement, thereby reducing vehicular conflicts and weaving maneuvers.
Improved signing and pavement marking will also improve the traffic operation in the merge
section of T19rthbound High ~idge Road by providi"g motorists with the requisite infonnation to
align their vehicles in the proper lane.
No off-site roadway improvements are proposed for the intersection of High Ridge Road and
Gateway Boulevard.
8. Extend the medians on High Ridge Road and, as necessary, on Gateway Boulevard, in
accordance with FOOT specifications to guide traffic into the proposed ingress lanes.
To assess whether or not the amount of vehicular storage is adequate to accommodate the
northbound left-turn movement into the residential development of Quantum Village West, the
anticipated queue during the peak hour must be detennined. Based upon Highway Capacity
Manual 2000 methodology and the projected northbound left-turn movement volumes and
opposing southbound through traffic on High Ridge Road, thP. numhP.r nf vp.hidp.~ in qUp.uP.

Therefore, zt is not necessary to extend the median on High Ridge Road to guide traffic mto the
ingress lane.
Mr Michael Rumpf
August 28, 2002
Page 50f6
However, the current median openmg to be utilized by both residential developments is
approximately 115 feet wide, which is substantially wider than the typical opening for this type of
development. Thertifor~ to better d(/ine the tuminr movement poth.~ within thl! intersection, we
belil!ve that both I!ntJ. no.~I!~~ qf the ml!dinn .~hould be extl!nded qpprorlmately 20 feet to narrow
the Qpeninr This would result in an opening approximately 75 feet wide, which would still
provide sufficient turning radii for Single Unit truck design vehicles (identified as SU in MSlITO).
This improvement would also have the ancillary benefit of increasing the storage length available
for the northbound left turn.
It is not-necessary to modify any medians or turn lanes on Gateway Boulevard.
In addition to.the comments received fromthe Public Works departmen4 the following comment provided
by the Planning and Zoning Department involves a component of traffic engineering and is addressed
herein.
77. It is anticipated that there will be higher pedestrian 1rafl'ic as .a -result of ttm project
(residential development on bOth sides of High Ridge Road), in part, due to its close
proximity with the Tri-Rail Station. This higher pedestrian traffic is encouraged. However,
truck and other vehicUIar traffic on High Ridge RoadcouId compromise pedestrian
connectivity and safety between the two (2) residential lots located on each side of the
roadway. Staff .recommends incorporating aesthetically pleasing traffic calming devices
(subject to Engineering approval) on/near High Ridge g.oad .that will help reduce vehicular
speeds while protecting pedestrians traversing the roadway Traffic lights and lower speed
limits alone will not -accomplish this objective.
,
We generally concur that pedestrian activity to/from the two residential developments from/to the
Tri-Rail Station should be encouraged in an effort to increase mass transit use. To that end, the
safe crossing of High Ridge Road for residents of the proposed community west of High Ridge
Road is critical.
An evaluation of available sight distance was performed at the proposed residential driveway
connection to High Ridge Road. It was determined that sufficient stopping sight distance is
provided for drivers traveling on High Ridge Road, given the landscaping within the median is
either below 30 inches in height (preferably even less) or greater than eight (8) feet in height
(preferably even more) to ensure that driver visibility is not obstructed. Therefore, pedestrians
may safely cross High Ridge Road and dnvers traveling on High Ridge Road will have ample
d,stance to safely stop if a pedestrian is in the travel path.
Recent research has indicated that the presence of a raised median (or raised crossing island) to
provide a refuge for pedestrians was associated with a significantly lower crash rate at multi-lane
sites, given traffic conditions similar to that on High Ridge Road near the residential
developments. Since a raised median island currently exists, the inclusion of a marked crosswalk
Mr Mic1uzel Rumpf
August 28, 2002

in combinatzon wlth Pedestrian Crossing signs (WII-2, MUTCD 2(00) and Downward Arrow
signs (W16-7p, MUTCD 2(00) indicating the locatzon of the crosswalk is proposed to delineate the
crossmg area while providing a safe refuge for pedestrians. In addition, advanced wammg signs
(Wll-2. MUTCD 2(00) would be placed further upstream on High Ridge Road to glve motonsts
infonnationthat a pedestrian crosswalk is ahead.
We believe that these proposed improvements would provide a pedestrian crossing that is safe,
provides connectivity between the two residential developments and the Tn-Rail Station, and if
designed properly. is aesthetically pleasing

Signal Warrant Analysis for High Ridge Road at Gateway Boulevard
The mtersectzon of HIgh RIdge Road and Gateway Boulevard IS currently signalized. Therefore,
a sIgnal warrant analysis was not performed.
Signal Warrant Analysis for High Ridge Road at Project's Driveway
Quantum Village East (Lot 89B) is proposed to include 39 multI-famIly dwelling umts, while the
development to the West will include 136 multi-family dwelling umts. Based upon tnp
generatzon analysIs for this intensIty as summarized m Table 1, a total of 89 AM peak hour trlpS
and 108 PM peak hour tnps will be generated by both resIdentzal developments. The trips for
each development were then distributed based upon the proXImIty of Gateway Boulevard and 1-
95 assuming a SIgnificant majority of the tnps generated by these resIdentzal developments will
be onented towards Gateway Boulevard. Figure 1 graphically depIcts the proposed peak hour
tummg movement volumes for the two developments
Comments from Czty staff have indIcated the need to assess whether or not a traffic sIgnal is
warranted at the mtersectzon servmg both Quantum East (Lot 89B) and Quantum West on High
RIdge Road. Traffic signals must meet Implementatzon warrants as outlmed in the Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices, Millenmum Edition (MUTCD 2000), based upon mmimum
vehicular volumes for the major street (HIgh Ridge Road) and the mmor street (dnveway
connection to Quantum East and Quantum West).
Warrant #1 (EIght-hour vehicular Volume) provides mimmum hourly thresholds over an eight-
hour penod that must be met by both the major and mmor street to Implement a traffic slgnal.
Assuming that High Ridge Road mcludes two lanes m the northbound and southbound directzon
whIle the mmor street has only one lane, traffic volumes per hour on the higher-volume
approach for the minor street must exceed 100 vehicles for eight (8) hours during an average
day Based on the attached tnp generatzon analysis, the approach servmg Quantum West (136
dwellmg umts whlch represents the largest approach volume) will only generate 58 trips durmg
the AM peak hour ThIS volume will decrease dramatically dunng off-peak hours. ThPrf'!ore,
Warrant #1 will not he mpt hy huildollt a/the pmfprt
Warrant #3 (Peak Hour) lS intendedfor mtersections where the peak hour volume is sufficient to
cause significant traffic delays to the mmor street for a minimum of one (1) hour dunng an
average day Thls warrant lS based upon correspondmg mimmum vehicular volume thresholds
for both the mmor and major street. For example, as the amount of hourly volume increases on
the major street, the amount of mmor street volume necessary to meet the warrant is decreased.
Given the number of lanes provided on Hlgh Rldge Road and the minor street approach with the
hlghest hourly volume, a mimmum threshold of 100 vehicles during anyone (1) hour of an
average day must be present on the mmor street approach (assummg that a hourly volume on
Hlgh RIdge Road exceeds 1,700 vehlcles per hour does not occur). Sinrp the maximum hourly

Signal Warrant Analysis for High Ridge Road at Tri-Rail Station Driveway
Pursuant to the Inventory of Land Uses and Vested trzps for Quantum Park, the Tri-Rail Station,
whzch zs served by a single access dnveway that zntersects wzth Hzgh Rzdge Road, zs estzmated to
generate 633 daily tnps. Located approxzmately 500 feet south of the driveway proposed to
serve the residential development of Quantum Village East and Quantum Village West, the
number of trzps using the Tri-Rail Statzon drzveway is approxzmately one-half that expected to
use the reszdentzal drzveway Sinrp thp Tri-Rml StatTnn dnp,> nntp gpnpratP mnrp ppak hnur trip'>
nr mnrp daily trip'> than Quantum Villagp Ea,>t and Quantum Villagp WP,>t, and a trajfir '>ignall'>
nnt warrantpd at that lnratinn it can be concluded that a traffic signal i,~ aI.w not warranted at
the inter.~ection of Hirh Ridx-e Road and the Tri-Rail Station drivewav connection.
4. As is being done with the Quantum Park and Villages South, the City will help facilitate a
"Recapture" agreement. The City will instigate new traffic studies as development continues
on the north side of Gateway Blvd. and work to have the developers reimbursed based on the
percent benefit each acquires from signalization.
Noted.
5. If a signal is not found to be required at this time, re-evaluate stopping sight distances for the
southbound lanes of High Ridge Road approaching the north commercial entrance. It will be
necessary to eliminate landscaping, concrete walls and provide additional signage to provide
adequate advance notice for traffic approaching this driveway
Sznce the zntersectzon of High Ridge Road and the North Commerczal drzvewayentrance does not
meet warrants for szgnalzzatzon, stoppzng szght distances were evaluated at this intersection to
determzne the potentzal impact resultzng from the development of the adjacent reszdential parcel
zmmedzately to the north.
Based upon a design speed of 35 miles per hour (although the posted speed limit is 30 miles per
hour), approxzmately 360 feet of szght dzstance must be provzded at the North Commercial
drzveway connectzon to High Ridge Road, per Palm Beach County and CIty of Boynton Beach
design standards. A revzew of the proposed szte plan zndzcates that sufficzent sight dzstance will be
provided at the North Commerczal driveway connection, provided landscaping and other visual
obstructzons are elimznated from the lzne of szght.
Based upon design standards, vegetation located in the szght dzstance area immediately north of
the commerczal drzveway will hp hdnw 1() mrhp,> m hplght (prpfPrahly pvpn lp,>s) nr grpatPr than
pight (R)fppt in hpight (nrpfPrahly pvpn mnrp) tn pnwrp that nn drzvPr vlsihility is nhstmrtpd. This
includes canopy limbs that may znadvertently extend into the requzred vzsibzlzty area.

6. A Permit to Construct within the Public Right-of-Way, issued by the Engineering Division of
Public Works, will be required for work on Gateway Boulevard. Permits may also be
required from Palm Beach County and the Quantum Park POA for work on High Ridge
Road and Gateway Boulevard.
Noted.
7 Relocate the ''transition'' (three to two-lane northbound) on High Ridge Road (adjacent to
Lot 89B) north, so that the three-lane section extends to the north property line of Lot 89B.
This is to prevent turning movement and stacking conflicts for traffic entering the east and
west residential developments. Show proposed off-site roadway improvements (signing,
striping, curb, curb & gutter, pavement, etc.) for High Ridge Road and Gateway Boulevard.
The "transztlOn" sectlOn of Hzgh Rzdge Road, where the northbound outszde through lane is
merged wzth the northbound znszde through lane, corresponds with the approximate locatlOn of the
residential driveway that will serve Lot 89B Instead of extending the merge section further to the
north, we propose to utilzze the northbound outszde through lane, whzch zs being dropped, as a
northbound nght-tum lane servzng the reszdentzal communzty Thzs will better define the flow of
traffic zn the vicinzty of the szte by removzng the northbound trips oriented to Lot 89B from the
northbound through movement, thereby reducing vehicular conflicts and weaving maneuvers.
Improved signing and pavement markzng wzll also zmprove the traffic operation zn the merge
sectlOn of northbound Hzgh Rzdge Road by provzdzng motonsts wzth the reqUlszte znformatlOn to
alzgn their vehzcles zn the proper lane.
No off-site roadway improvements are proposed for the intersection of Hzgh Rzdge Road and
Gateway Boulevard.
8. Extend the medians on High Ridge Road and, as necessary, on Gateway Boulevard, in
accordance with FDOT specifications to guide traffic into the proposed ingress lanes.
To assess whether or not the amount of vehzcular storage zs adequate to accommodate the
northbound left-turn movement znto the reszdentzal development of Quantum Village West, the
anticzpated queue during the peak hour must be determined. Based upon Highway Capacity
Manual 2000 methodology and the projected northbound left-turn movement volumes and
opposing southbound through traffic on High Ridge Road, thp numhpr of vphzrlp<; In qupuP
awmting to ramplPtP thp lpft turn dllrl11g thp ppak hour i<; pxpprtpd to hp anp (I) or lPH wzth a
ranfidpnrP lpvpl of 9') pPTrPnt. Sznce the available storage provzded for the excluszve
northbound left-turn lane on Hzgh Rzdge Road (75 feet) exceeds the antzczpated maxzmum queue
length (estzmated to be one (1) vehzcle wzth a length of 25 feet), thp turn lmzp i <; of mffirzpnt

Quantum Villagp Ea<;t dnvpway without thp qupuP pxtpndIng Into thp narthhmmd through lanp<;_
Therefore, it zs not necessary to extend the medzan on Hzgh Rzdge Road to guzde traffic into the
zngress lane
Mr Michael Rumpf
August 28, 2002
Page 5 of6
However, the current medzan openzng to be utilzzed by both resIdentzal developments is
approxzmately 115 feet wzde, which is substantially wider than the typzcal opening for thzs type of
development. Therf/ore. to better define the turning movement path,1i within the intersection. we
believe that both end nO.lie.1i Qj the median ,lihould be extended qpproximate{y 20 feet to narrow
the Q]Jening. ThIS would result zn an openzng approxzmately 75 feet wzde, whzch would stzll
provzde sufficIent turnzng radllfor Szngle Unzt truck design vehzcles (Identified as SU zn AASHTO).
ThIS Improvement would also have the ancillary benefit of increasing the storage length available
for the northbound left turn.
It IS not necessary to modify any medIans or turn lanes on Gateway Boulevard.
In addItIOn to the comments receIved from the PublIc Works department, the followmg comment provIded
by the Planmng and Zomng Department mvolves a component of traffic engmeenng and IS addressed
herem.
77 It is anticipated that there will be higher pedestrian traffic as a result of this project
(residential development on both sides of High Ridge Road), in part, due to its close
proximity with the Tri-Rail Station. This higher pedestrian traffic is encouraged. However,
truck and other vehicular traffic on High Ridge Road could compromise pedestrian
connectivity and safety between the two (2) residential lots located on each side of the
roadway Staff recommends incorporating aesthetically pleasing traffic calming devices
(subject to Engineering approval) on/near High Ridge Road that will help reduce vehicular
speeds while protecting pedestrians traversing the roadway Traffic lights and lower speed
limits alone will not accomplish this objective.
We generally concur that pedestnan activity to/from the two residentzal developments from/to the
Tri-Rail StatlOn should be encouraged in an effort to zncrease mass tranSIt use. To that end, the
safe crosszng of HIgh Ridge Road for reSIdents of the proposed communzty west of High Rzdge
Road IS cntzcal.
An evaluation of available szght distance was performed at the proposed residential driveway
connection to High Ridge Road. It was determzned that sufficient stoppzng SIght dzstance IS
proVIded for dnvers travelzng on HIgh Rzdge Road, gzven the landscapzng WIthin the median IS
either below 30 inches in hezght (preferably even less) or greater than eIght (8) feet zn height
(preferably even more) to ensure that dnver vIsibilzty is not obstructed. Therefore, pedestnans
may safely cross Hzgh RIdge Road and drIvers traveling on High Rzdge Road will have ample
distance to safely stop if a pedestrian is in the travel path.
Recent research has zndIcated that the presence of a raIsed median (or razsed crosszng Island) to
proVIde a refuge for pedestrIans was associated WIth a szgnificantly lower crash rate at multi-lane
sItes, gzven traffic conditions szmilar to that on HIgh Rzdge Road near the residentIal
developments. Sznce a raIsed medzan Island currently eXIsts, the zncluslOn of a marked crosswalk
Mr Michael Rumpf

in combmatlOn wlth Pedestnan Crossing signs (Wll-2, MUTCD 2000) and Downward Arrow
signs (WI6-7p, MUTCD 2000) mdlcatmg the locatlOn of the crosswalk is proposed to delmeate the
crossmg area while providing a safe refuge for pedestnans. In addltlOn, advanced warnmg slgns
(WII-2, MUTCD 2000) would be placed further upstream on Hlgh Rldge Road to glve motorists
informatlOn that a pedestnan crosswalk lS ahead.
We beZzeve that these proposed improvements would provide a pedestnan crossmg that is safe,
provldes connectlvlty between the two residentlal developments and the Tn-Rail StatlOn, and if
deslgned properly is aesthetlcally pleasmg
