Background Conditions
rGiven the nature of this development and the manner in which it will interface
with the surrounding roadway network, the selected study area for the proposed
development consists of the following intersections shown in the location map
' included as Exhibit 1 of the Appendix:
' • U S Route 5 (John Fitch Boulevard) at Route 194 (Sullivan Avenue): This is
a 4-way, signalized intersection with Route 5 running north-south, Sullivan
Avenue as the west leg, and Route 194 (Sullivan Avenue) as the east leg.
' The Route 5 northbound approach is four lanes wide, with one left turn lane,
two through lanes, and a right turn lane. The Route 5 southbound approach
is four lanes wide, with two left turn lanes, a through lane, and a combination
' through and right turn lane. The Sullivan Avenue eastbound approach is one
lane wide. The Route 194 (Sullivan Avenue) westbound approach is three
lanes wide, with one left turn lane, one combination left turn and through
lane, and one right turn lane. The traffic signal is part of an interconnected
signal system operating along U.S. Route 5 to provide synchronized signal
operation along the corridor. The traffic signal at this intersection provides
' four vehicular phases. The first phase is a northbound/southbound phase on
Route 5 to move the left turns onto both legs of Sullivan Avenue. The second
phase moves all the through and right turn movements from the northbound
and southbound approaches of Route 5. The third phase moves the Route
194 (Sullivan Avenue) westbound approach which has a double left turn
movement onto Route 5. The fourth phase moves the Sullivan Avenue
' eastbound approach. All approaches are vehicular-actuated.
• Route 194 (Sullivan Avenue) at Commerce Way: This is a 3-way,
' unsignalized intersection with Sullivan Avenue running east-west and
Commerce Way as the north leg. The Sullivan Avenue eastbound approach
is two lanes wide, with one combination left/through lane, and the other lane
for through movements. The Sullivan Avenue westbound approach is three
lanes wide, with two lanes for through movements, and the other lane for
right turns. The Commerce Way southbound approach is one lane wide for
' left turn and right turn movements and is controlled by a Stop sign.
• Route 194 (Sullivan Avenue) at Rye Street: This is a 3-way, signalized
' intersection with Sullivan Avenue running east-west and Rye Street
intersecting at a skew as the north leg. The Sullivan Avenue eastbound
approach is three lanes wide, with one lane for left turns, and the other two
' lanes for through movements. The Sullivan Avenue westbound approach is
one lane wide for combination through/right movements.The Rye Street
southbound approach is one lane wide for combination left turn and right turn
' movements. The traffic signal at this intersection provides three vehicular
phases. The first phase is an eastbound advance phase on Sullivan Avenue
to move let turns onto Rye Street. The second phase moves all Sullivan
