The delay shown represents the worst side-street approach delay. (2) Right-in/right-out access. Proposed Development The proposed development, shown in Figure 4, includes construction of a 43,000 square foot grocery store and is located in the northwest quadrant of the Lexington Avenue/Target Road intersection. The development would replace the existing building on-site, which was vacant during data collection efforts. The proposed development is expected to be fully constructed by year 2022. As mentioned previously, Lexington Avenue is expected to be reconstructed independent of the proposed development. As part of the roadway reconstruction project, the existing Lexington Avenue/Lexington Station Access is expected to be closed, and a west leg is expected to be added to the Lexington Avenue/Target Road intersection. Therefore, access to the proposed development will be provided at the newly constructed Lexington Avenue/Target Road intersection, as well as the two existing Red Fox Road/Lexington Station access locations. Year 2023 Build Condition To identify potential impacts associated with the proposed development, traffic forecasts for year 2023 conditions (i.e. one-year after opening) were developed. The year 2023 conditions consider general background growth and traffic generated by the proposed development. The following sections provide detail on the proposed development trip generation, intersection capacity analysis, and potential improvements, including traffic signal warrant analysis. Trip Generation To account for traffic impacts associated with the proposed development, trip generation estimates for the weekday a.m. and p.m. peak hours and a daily basis were developed. The trip generation estimates, shown in Table 5, were developed using the ITE Trip Generation Manual, 10th Edition. Note that no pass-by reductions were applied to provide a conservative estimate.
