CR 30-A and CR 395 Intersection-Agenda Item 5 (g) under Administration. As you know from previous emails, the County has been fluctuating on the best approach to maintain a better traffic flow at this intersection during peak useage. A roundabout, traffic signal, policeman during peak periods, for example, have all been discussed. This Agenda item involves a draft report from a company called "Southern Traffic Services".
The Company was retained to conduct a "traffic operational analysis" to evaluate the current intersection operation and determine if the addition of a westbound right turn lane would improve the operation." The report is detailed but it generally provides their data collection information (July 13-19, 2013), analysis of information from their reports and others, projections of future traffic and the following conclusion: " Results of the CR 30A at CR 395 intersection operational analysis (SYNCHRO) show the overall intersection, westbound, and southbound approach LOS (Level of Service) would decrease with construction of a westbound right turn lane.
Addition of the turn land would help the overall intersection and westbound approach operation for an estimated 5-year time period." We are not sure exactly what this means-whether the Board is retreating from the controversial roundabout or exactly what direction is now being considered. Undoubtedly more information will be provided at the meeting.
