Proposed Uses:
New Daily Trips:
New PH Trips:
Build-out:
Based on our review, the Traffic Division has determined that the proposed middle school
meets the Traffic Performance Standards of Palm Beach County. No building permits
are to be issued by the town, after the build-out date specified above. The County traffic
concurrency approval is subject to the Project Aggregation Rules set forth in the Traffic
Performance Standards Ordinance. It is further suggested that the city examine school
traffic circulation during the drop-off and pick-up periods, through an evaluation
conducted by the consultant. Adequacy of traffic lanes, queues, storage lengths, and
peclec:;trian safety 'lee0<;' to he ?..:ldref:~er:l. A rp2K h0U~ f3ctor ('f (1 50 is s~ggested fN
this evaluation, since majority of school traffic occurs in a 20-30 minutes period.

Executive Summary
Executive Summary
Boynton Delray Academy proposes to develop currently vacant land on the east side of Railroad
A venue between NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King Boulevard) and NE 11 th A venue in the City
of Boynton Beach, Florida. The proposed middle school will serve a maximum of 125 students and
will be accessible by a site-access driveway (no egress) located on NE 11 th A venue and a site-egress
driveway on Railroad Avenue. A total of 58 weekday AM peak hour trips and 20 weekday PM peak
hour trips will be generated by Boynton Delray Academy. The radius of influence is 1 mile. The
findings of this study are summarized below.

'Note:
Capacity is defined as the LOS 0 threshold volume for the facility and is taken from Table 1 A Article 15. Traffic Performance Standards.
There are no roadway links on Federal Highway and Seacrest Boulevard with assigned trips more
than one percent of the level of service D threshold volume. This implies that the impacts are minor
and additional analysis for Test 1 is not necessary. Additionally, there are no roadway links in the
study area with traffic volumes that exceed the adopted level of service volume and therefore there
are no roadway links that fail Model Test 2 in the study area.
The access and egress locations to Boynton Delray Academy are planned to be located on local
streets such that no stacking or queuing is anticipated to impact Federal Highway or Seacrest
Boulevard.
Based on the results of this study, the proposed middle school can be developed while maintaining
acceptable traffic operations at the study intersections and roadway links within the site vicinity. No
mitigation measures are required. Additional details of the study methodology, findings, and
recommendations are provided within this report.

SCOPEOFTHEREPORT
This analysis determines the transportation-related impacts associated with the proposed middle
school and was prepared in accordance with Palm Beach County Traffic Performance Standards
requirements. The study links and overall study area for this project were selected based on a review
of the local transportation system and based on Palm Beach County's Traffic Performance
Standards. Roadway links examined are:
· North Seacrest Boulevard from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Boynton Beach Canal;
· Federal Highway (US 1) from Boynton Beach Boulevard to Boynton Beach Canal.
· Boynton Beach Boulevard from Federal Highway (US 1) to North Seacrest Boulevard.
This report addresses the following transportation issues:
· Year 2003 existing land use and transportation system conditions within the site vicinity
· Forecast year 2005 background traffic conditions during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak
peri ods
· Trip generation and distribution estimates for the proposed development
· Forecast year 2005 total traffic conditions with full build-out of the site during the
weekday a.m. and p.m. peak periods
· Queuing or stacking issues at drop-off and pick-up location at proposed school
· Conclusions and recommendations.

The existing conditions analysis identifies site conditions and the current operational and geometric
characteristics of roadways within the study area. The purpose of this section is to set the stage for a
basis of comparison to future conditions including the proposed project.
The site of the proposed Boynton Delray Academy was visited and inventoried on December 4,
2003. During that visit, information was collected regarding site conditions, adjacent land uses, .
existing traffic operations, and transportation facilities in the study area.
SITE CONDITIONS AND ADJACENT LAND USES
The proposed school site is located in the City of Boynton Beach, Florida. The site is currently
vacant and is bordered by NE 11 th A venue to the north, NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King
Boulevard) to the south, Railroad A venue to the east and vacant land to the west. There are
commercial establishments along Martin Luther King Boulevard (NE 10th A venue) while NE 11 th
A venue is mostly a residential area.
TRANSPORTATION FACILITIES
Roadway Facilities
As indicated in Figure 1, the study site is located close to two major roadway facilities, North
Scacrest Boulevard and Federal Highway (US 1). Primary access to the site will be provided via NE
11th A venue. Near the site. Scacrest Boulevard is a five-lane Palm Beach County roadway with a
posted speed limit of 3S miles per hour. Federal Highway is a major four-lane divided arterial
operated and maintained by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The posted speed
limit on Federal Highway is 35 mph in the vicinity of NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King
Boulevard).
:'tt 10th A venue (\;1artin Luther King Boulevard) is classified as a City Collector. NE loth A venue
(Martin Luther King Boulevard) is a 2-lane undivided roadway with parking allowed on both sides
of the roadway. NE 11 th A venue and Railroad A venue are 2-lane local streets providing access to
residential areas. Table 1 provides a summary of the facilities included in this analysis and Figure 3
identifies the existing lane configurations and traffic control devices at the s.tudy intersections.

Existing Conditions
Pedestrian and Bicycle Facilities
Field observations in the site vicinity revealed low levels of pedestrian and bicycle activity along
the study roadways. Some supporting pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure has been provided.
Sidewalks are available along Seacrest Boulevard, NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King Bouleavrd)
and Federal Highway (US 1). No bike lanes or sidewalks are currently provided on NE 11 th A venue
and Railroad A venue. Federal Highway (US 1) is the only roadway in the study area that includes
bike lanes.
Transit Facilities
Bus service is currently provided along Seacrest Boulevard and on Federal Highway (US 1). The
following PalmTran bus routes provide service within the general site vicinity:
Route 70: Provides service between the Lantana and Delray Beach along Seacrest
Boulevard. Service is provided on weekdays during peak periods at approximately 30-
minute headways and during off-peak daytime hours at approximately 60-minute headways.
Route 1: Provides service between the Gardens Mall in West Palm Beach and Boca Raton
along Federal Highway (US 1). This route provides service during weekday peak hour time
periods at approximately 20-minute headways (Reference 1).
TRAFFIC VOLUMES AND PEAK HOUR OPERATIONS
Traffic count data compiled by Palm Beach County was used for this study. Palm Beach County
traffic count site 5302 is located on Seacrest Boulevard about 970 feet north of Boynton Beach
Boulevard. Palm Beach County traffic count site 5304 is located on Federal Highway (US 1) about
200 feet south of the Boynton Canal bridge. Additionally, Palm Beach County's Intersection Count
List (as of 7/21/2003) includes the two study intersections and was counted on August 21, 2002.
The data contained approach traffic volumes counts summarized for the 24 hour period. To obtain
peak hour east and west approach counts. we assumed that the a.m. peak hour volume would be
approximately 12 percent of the daily east and west approach volume and that the p.m. peak hour
volume would be approximately 15 percent of the daily east and west approach volume. It should be
noted that this same summary contains peak hour volume for the entire intersection (all four
approaches taken together) that results in peak to daily ratios between seven and nine percent. All
traffic counts were adjusted to reflect peak season conditions if the count was not taken during the
peak season. These traffic counts are summarized in Figures 4 and 5. Appendi.l. "A" contains the
traffic count sheets used in this study.
Current Levels of Service
All level-of-service analyses described in this report were performed in accordance with the
procedures stated in the Article 15: Traffic Perfonnance Standards (TPS) of the Land Development
Code of Palm Beach County, Florida as revised on 03/31/3003. The TPS requires both
intersections and links to be examined during peak hours of weekday traffic activity. Traffic
conditions during all other weekday hours will likely operate under better conditions than those
described in this report.

Intersections: Part One of Test One
The two intersections studied are both currently signalized: Seacrest Boulevard/NE 10th A venue
(Martin Luther King Boulevard) and Federal Highway (US 1)/NE lOth Avenue (Martin Luther King
Boulevard). Intersection analyses in this report are based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM)
1985 Planning Methodology (Critical Movement Analysis - CMA). Palm Beach County's TPS
requires that intersections operate below the threshold of 1400 vehicles per hour as a critical
volume. For the purposes of this study, it was assumed that if a given intersection operated below the ~
threshold critical volume of 1400 vehicles per hour, Palm Beach County's TPS peak hour standard
was met and no additional analysis was required.

Seacrest Boulevard peak season, peak direction volume = 779 vehicles per hour
Boynton Beach Boulevard peak season, peak direction volume = 796 vehicles per hour
Threshold peak season peak direction volume for LOS D = 1,850 vehicles per hour.
Since both the a.m. and p.m, peak hour volumes are less than the threshold limiting volume, the
roadway links studied operate acceptably and pass Part Two of Test One.
Test Two:
The adopted level of service for study links is LOS D and both Federal Highway (US 1) and
Seacrest Boulevard in the vicinity of Boynton Beach Academy operate at LOS D or better with less
than 1,850 vehicles per hour in the peak direction in both the a.m. and p.m. peak hours. Both study
links pass Test Two. There are no links in the study area that exceed the adopted level of service.

Traffic Impact Analysis
Traffic Impact Analysis
The transportation impact analysis identifies how the study area's transportation system will operate
in the year that the proposed development will be fully built-out. The impact of traffic generated by
the proposed middle school during typical weekday a.m, and p.m. peak hours was examined as
follows:
· Programmed transportation improvements In the site vicinity were identified and
reviewed;
· Background weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hour traffic conditions for the year 2005 were
analyzed. An annual compounded growth rate was applied to existing traffic volumes to
account for regional growth in the site vicinity;
· Future daily, morning peak hour, and evening peak hour site-generated trips were
estimated for build-out of the site;
· A trip distribution pattern was derived through a review of existing traffic volumes, local
transportation facilities, and the anticipated market area of the proposed school;
· Predicted site-generated traffic from Boynton Delray Academy was added to the
background traffic volumes to evaluate total traffic operations at the study area
intersections during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours: and
· The need for any mitigation was evaluated.
2005 BACKGROUND TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The background traffic analysis identifies how the study area's transportation system will operate in
the year the proposed middle school is expected to open. This analysis includes traffic growth due
to development within the study area and from general growth in the region, but does not include
traffic from the proposed school development.
Programmed Transportation Improvements
As part of this analysis, Greenhorne & 0' Mara, Inc. reviewed programmed transportation
improvements in Palm Beach County. There are no programmed transportation capacity
improvements planned in the project ~icinity before the build-out year of Boynton Delray
Academy. The City of Boynton Beach, however, plans to reconfigure Railroad A venue in the study
area such that Railroad A venue between NE 11 th A venue and NE 10th A venue (J\1LK Blvd.) is made
ONE-W A Y southbound. Additionally, Railroad Avenue south of NE 10th Avenue (1vfLK Blvd.)
would be made ONE-WAY with northbound movement towards NE 10th Avenue (?v1LK Blvd.)
being the only possible direction of traffic flow. Figure 6 illustrates the lane configurations and
traffic control devices assumed to be in place at the study intersections at project build-out.
Traffic Volumes
Year 2005 background traffic volumes were developed to account for anticipated growth in the
study area, The compound growth rate specified by Palm Beach County for Seacrest Boulevard
north of Boynton Beach Boulevard is 3,23 percent per year, The compound growth rate for the
subject link of Federal Highway (US 1) was not available from Palm Beach County and was
calculated using trend analysis and traffic volumes from year 1998 to 2001. This calculated
January, 2004
Boynton Delray Academy
Traffic Impact Analysis
compound traffic growth rate was 1.21 percent with a trend R-squared statistic of 86.9 percent. The
compounded annual growth rates were applied to the existing 2003 traffic volumes to account for'
near-term traffic growth in the area. Figures 7 and 8 illustrate the resulting forecast year 2005
background traffic volumes. It should be noted that the compound growth rate tables provided by
Palm Beach County indicates a negative growth rate for Boynton Beach Boulevard west of Federal
Highway (US 1), We assumed a nominal growth rate of 0.5 percent for this segment in our
analysis.
Level-of-Service Analysis
Using the weekday a,m. and p.m, peak hour turning movement volumes shown in Figures 7 and 8, a
Critical Movement analysis was conducted at each study intersection to determine the 2005
background traffic levels of service. As indicated by the two respective figures, the background
traffic analysis determined that both the study intersections are forecast to operate with acceptable
levels of service during both the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak periods. A summary of both Test One
and Test Two analysis following the requirements of Palm Beach County's TPS is provided below.

Boynton Delray Academy
Traffic Impact Analysis
PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Boynton Delray Academy proposes to construct a middle school to accommodate 125 students on
the west side of the Railroad A venue immediately north of NE 10th A venue (Martin Luther King
Boulevard). Approximately 16 parking spaces are planned for the school site. The site is proposed
to have one site-access driveway on NE 11th A venue and one site-egress driveway located on
Railroad A venue.
TRIP GENERATION
Estimates of daily, weekday a.m., and weekday p.m. peak hour vehicle trip ends for the proposed
Boynton Delray Academy were developed based on empirical observations. These observations are
summarized in the standard reference Trip Generation, 6ch Edition, published by the Institute of
Transportation Engineers (Reference 4). Table 2 summarizes the estimated site trip generation
during a typical weekday as well as during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours.

Net New Trips
As shown in Table 2, the proposed school is expected to generate approximately 182 daily trips of
which approximately 58 will occur during the weekday a.m. peak hour and 20 will occur during the
weekday p.m. peak hour.
RADIUS OF INFLUENCE
The maximum radius of development influence is based on the number of net external peak hour,
two-way trips generated by the proposed development. The Test One maximum radius of influence
.during the a.m. peak hour is one mile (1 mile) as Boynton Delray Academy generates 58 net
external a.m. peak hour two-way trips. During the p.m, peak hour Boynton Delray Academy
generates 20 external p.m. peak hour two-way trips resulting in a radius of influence that is limited
to the first accessed major thoroughfare which is Federal Highway (US 1). The Test Two
maximum radius of influence for Boynton Delray Academy is limited to the first accessed major
thoroughfare (Federal Highway). It should be noted that Boynton Delray Academy generates less
than three percent (3%) of the Level of Service E threshold volume of Federal Highway (US 1) on
an ADT basis.
TRIP DISTRIBUTION
The distribution of site-generated trips onto the study area roadway system was estimated based on
a review of existing turning movement patterns in the vicinity of the site and the anticipated market
area of the site. The estimated trip distribution is illustrated in Figure 9. Based on the estimated trip
distribution pattern, Figures 10 and 11 show the assignment of the site-generated traffic during the
weekday a,m. and p,m. peak hours, respectively.

Traffic Impact Analysis
I
2005 TOTAL TRAFFIC CONDITIONS
The total traffic conditions analysis forecasts how the study area's transportation system will
operate with the inclusion of traffic from the proposed middle school. The 2005 background traffic
volumes for the weekday a,m. and p,m. peak hours shown in Figures 7 and 8 were added to the site-
generated traffic shown in Figures 10 and 11 to arrive at the total traffic volumes shown in Figures
12 and 13.
I
I
Intersection and Roadway Links Levels of Service
Figures 12 and 13 provide a summary of the forecast total traffic conditions associated with full .
build-out of the proposed development. A summary of the total trips on each link is provided in
Table 3. As is evident from Table 3, the assigned project trips are less than one percent (1 %) of the
level of service D threshold volumes. The assigned traffic volume on Boynton Beach Boulevard
(which falls within the one mile radius of influence) will also be less than one percent (1 %) of the
level of service D threshold of 1,850 peak hour one-way vehicles. Since all roadway links have less
than one percent (1 %) of the level of service D volumes assigned on them, the Traffic Performance
Standards do nor require any additional analysis. As indicated in the respective figures and Table 3,
this analysis determined that all study links are forecast to operate at levels of service B during the
weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours. The need for mitigation does not arise. Additionally, there are
no roadway links in the project vicinity that fail Model Test 2 (exceed the adopted level of service).

"Note:
Capacity is defined as the LOS D threshold volume for the facility and is taken from Table 1A Article 15: Traffic Performance Standards.
Site Access Queuing and Stacking:
Queuing or vehicle stacking is a special concern at schools as peak traffic arrives and departs within
a concentrated and specific time (usually up to 20 minutes long) when school starts and again at
school release time, The access driveway to Boynton Delray Academy is on NE 11 th A venue, a
local street. Any queuing or vehicle stacking during student drop-off and pick-up time that spills
out of the school site can be expected to be contained on NE 11th A venue and not impact Seacrest
Boulevard or Federal Highway (US 1),

Boynton De/ray Academy
Conclusions
Conclusions
I
Based on the results of the traffic impact analysis, the proposed Boynton Delray Academy can be
developed while maintaining acceptable levels of service on the surrounding transportation system,
The analysis developed the following findings and conclusions:
I
FINDINGS
I
Existing Conditions
· During the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours, the study area intersections currently
operate within operating standards deemed acceptable by Palm Beach County.
Year 2005 Background Traffic Conditions
· There are no transportation capacity improvements programmed in the study area before
year :2005, the proposed school build-out year.
· The City of Boynton Beach is reconfiguring Railroad A venue in the project vicinity such
that
o Railroad A venue between NE 11th A venue and NE 10th A venue (NILK Blvd.)
will be one-way southbound.
o Railroad A venue south of NE 10th A venue will be one-way nonhbound.
· Y car 2005 background conditions (without development of the proposed school) were
estimated assuming continued local and regional growth. Operational analyses indicate
that all study links and intersections are forecast to operate within acceptable operating
standards during the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours.
Proposed Development Activities
· The proposed development, a middle school with 125 students, is estimated to generate
approximately 182 net new daily trip ends, of which approximately 58 trip ends will
occur during the weekday a.m. peak hour and 20 trip ends will occur during the p.m.
peak hour. Since the peak hour trip ends in the morning exceeds 20, a complete traffic
impact study as document~d herein is necessary under Palm Beach County's Traffic
Perfonnance Standards. .
· Access to the site is proposed via a single site-access driveway located on NE 11th
A venue. A single site-egress driveway will be located on Railroad A venue which
connects to Nt loth Avenue (Martin Luther King Boulevard). NE 11th Avenue and
Railroad A venue are local roadways providing access to largely residential conununities.
Year 2005 Total Traffic Conditions:
· Under forecast year 2005 total traffic conditions (with the proposed school), all the study
links are forecast to function within acceptable operating standards during the a.m. and
p.m. peak hours.
· Project trips assigned to Federal Highway and Seacrest Boulevard are less than one
percent (1 %) of their respective LOS D threshold volumes, According to Palm Beach
Greenhorne & O'Mara, Inc.
32
January, 2004
Boynton Deltay Academy
Conclusions
County's Traffic Performance standards this implies that these roadways operate
adequately and no further analysis is to be done other than "Model Test 2".
· There are no roadway links in the study vicinity with traffic volumes that exceed the
adopted level of service. This project passes Model Test 2.
· Queuing or vehicle stacking during student drop-off and pick-up that spills back from
the school site can be expected to be contained on NE 11 th A venue and not impact
Seacrest Boulevard or Federal Highway (US 1).
CONCLUSION
· Boynton Delray Academy can be developed at the proposed site with no negative
impacts on the surrounding transportation system. No mitigation measures are
necessary.

Design Comments for Boynton-Delray Academy (12-16-03)
South Elevation
1. The cupola over the main entrance cupola is not proportional (i.e. to small). Perhaps
adding more width and height.
2. More windows should be added to provide a more balanced appearance.
3. Window style on tower should be similar to main building, (i.e. replace round windows
with the proposed shutters on bottom floor. Bottom windows should be replaced with the
typical windows used on main building.
4. Perspective of tower should be drawn correctly because it could lead to misinterpretations
on height and size. Size may need increasing to match scale of building.
5. More attention should be placed on the main entrance. The building is very horizontal,
perhaps adding arches to main entrance porch. There should be more craftsmanship on
the architectural details.
North Elevation
1:. More windows should be added to this elevation, Window location should align in all
elevations.
2. Main entrance doors should align on both north and south elevations.
1. Entrance should be enhanced with architectural detail. Should resemble main entrance at
a smaller scale,
4. Perspective of tower should be drawn correctly because it could lead to misinterpretations
on height and size. Size may need increasing to match scale of building.
2" Window style on tower should be similar to main building, (i.e. replace round windows
with the proposed shutters on bottom floor. Bottom windows should be replaced with the
typical windows used on main building,
6. The ramp entrance should be enhanced with some type of architectural feature
West Elevation
1, Improve elevation by enhancing the entrance on this side such ad double doors.
2. Perspective of tower should be drawn correctly because it could lead to misinterpretations
on height and size. Size may need increasing to match scale of building.
3. Vertical banding proposed on the north and south elevation should be included in all
sides of the building.
East Elevation
1, Tower should be drawn correctly, It should not be drawn in perspective.
2. Vertical banding proposed on the north and south elevation should be included in all
sides of the building.
3. Window style on tower should be similar to main building, (i.e. replace round windows
with the proposed shutters on bottom floor. Bottom windows should be replaced with the
typical windows used on main building.
4. Tower feature should be the tallest element. The cupola in main building should be
second tallest feature.
5. Window location should align in all elevations,
6. The material used for the space beneath the unit should match the material used on the
building fayade. Do not expose space beneath unit.
The proposed building should maximize compatibility with the built environment. Materials
used should be similar to the surrounding area.
