pattern of the existing traffic generated by the project. As shown, the majority of truck <br /> trips (58 percent) from the facility are distributed to Jahant and Peltier Roads, and the <br /> remaining 42 percent are distributed to Mackville Road via Jahant Road. Of the trucks <br /> using Mackville Road, approximately 43 percent (18 percent of the total trips) utilize <br /> State Route 88, accessing markets to the southwest. <br /> Existing Intersection Conditions <br /> To provide a baseline for traffic analysis, intersections in the vicinity of the <br /> processing facility were evaluated for potential study. A review of existing information <br /> pertaining to access and circulation review and estimated traffic levels identified four <br /> intersections that would likely be affected by existing truck traffic traveling to and from <br /> the processing facility. The intention was to identify local intersections that may be <br /> indicators of project related traffic impacts and could be used for impact analysis. <br /> As shown in Figure 3.4-1, the distribution of truck trips to and from the <br /> processing facility is approximately 58 percent westerly on Jahant and Peltier Roads and <br /> 42 percent easterly to Mackville Road. The intersections with the greatest potential for <br /> impact by project related truck traffic are therefore those intersections nearest the <br /> facility, i.e., the Jahant Road/Tully Road and Jahant Road/Mackville Road intersections. <br /> Truck trips distributed easterly from the processing facility would utilize State Routes 88 <br /> and 12, accessing markets to the north, east and southwest. Potential for the greatest <br /> impact to intersections beyond the Jahant Road/Mackville intersection would be the <br /> intersection of local roads with the above mentioned State Routes, i.e., the State Route <br /> 88/Collier Road and State Route 88/Mackville Road intersections. These intersections <br /> were determined to be the most appropriate indicators of project traffic impacts. <br /> Based on the above review of traffic distribution to local routes, the four <br /> intersections selected for detailed analysis are: <br /> - Jahant Road and Tully Road <br /> - Jahant Road and Mackville Road <br /> - State Route 88 and Collier Road <br /> - State Route 88 and Mackville Road <br /> 59 <br />
