Scott,
I have reviewed the above referenced plans and have the following comments:
1. Please see e-mail below. We need to make sure that the lanes are correct according to Chuck Proctors comments
so please send me the pdf of the plan sheet layout to forward to him.
2. You need to identify whether or not there is a need for the left turn lane into the movie theater site for the
northbound left tuning traffic.
Remove the stop bar on the left turn lane going into the Kohl's site.
For a 12 foot offset at 30 mph, the length of transition for the lane shift is 180 feet. The plan shows 140 feet.
5. The midblock pedestrian crossing is within the taper which is undesirable and may lead to safety or operational
problems. Once you modify the lane shift transition, relocate the pedestrian crossing to be entirely out of the left turn
taper. You can also consider angling the refuge area so pedestrians are facing oncoming traffic and that will also offset
the walkway.
6. Please include the projected traffic and the pavement design worksheet. 6 inches of IM -19 is greater than the
maximum allowable thickness according to the 2009 Pavement Design Guide.
7. The median should show both MS -1 and MS -2 details. MS -2 should be used on medians greater than 6 feet in
width. You can also consider MS -1 A in locations.
Please send me the pdf of the layout to get to Chuck as soon as you can so we can make sure the lane usage is correct.
Thanks
Joel

Scott,
I have been reviewing these Meeting Street plans and one item that we did not discuss because I did not think of it at the
time we met, is the need for a left turn lane for the northbound traffic into the theater site. I don't have any information
whether it is needed or not. Also, since you are building four lanes to the south of the Kohls Entrance at the request of
Chuck Proctor, can you send me a pdf of sheet S -1 to send up to Chuck to make sure his layout comments are
addressed.
Thanks,
Joel
