Okay.
I did look at the road plans, the only comment I had was that they get
easements for all the
offsite work and grading from adjacent owners.

Megan,
FYI - it looks like SB ramps @ US29 warranted a signal, and through
further analysis NB ramps @ US29
will likely also warrant a signal (and VDOT is requesting them in the
further analysis). SO, I'll look for
these proffered items in the road plan review.
Are you also planning to review the road plans? Unless you know of
something you're looking for, I
don't think it's needed; I just wanted to coordinate since I'm likely
sending comments out today.
Thanks, Michael

Scott,
Attached is the comments I received from Traffic Engineering. Based on
their review it appears
warrants would be met at the intersection. However the analysis is need
to determine if the signal as
configured would create issue on the off -ramp if the right turns are
signalized.
Please review and provide the additional analysis.
If there are any questions, please let us know.
Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck,
Please see attached memo regarding the signal warrants for the 29NB Ramps
and Fontaine Ave
intersection, for the Morey Creek Development Project.
If you or the design consultant have any questions please feel free to
contact me.

Jon,
Here is some additional information I received for Timmons on the Morey
Creek Professional Center
where they have proffered and want to install a signal on the NB off -ramp
from Route 29 on to
Fontaine Ave. in Charlottesville.
They are moving forwarded with the other improvements including a signal
at the SB ramps.
Please review and we can discuss.
Thanks,
Chuck

Chuck,
As a follow up to our conversation, I've attached a revised Synchro file
for the 2018 Total (Growth +
Adj) Scenario 2 AM peak hour from the TIA with only the intersections
along Fontaine Avenue. The US
29 and I -64 links have been removed from the model so that all of the
volume from US 29 reaches
Fontaine Avenue; the influence of the interchange was removed.
Also attached is a PDF of the Queuing and Blocking report from SimTraffic
for the intersection of
Fontaine Avenue and the US 29 northbound ramps. The SimTraffic report
shows the average of 5
simulations runs. The model was loaded for 15 minutes and recorded for
one hour (using the PHF for
the second interval and the Anti -PHF for the first, third, and fourth
intervals).
Based on the average of five runs, the 95th percentile queue length for
the northbound shared
through -left lane is 742 feet (approximately 30 vehicles) for The AM peak
hour. The left turn queues
block the right turn lanes 110 of the hour; resulting in vehicles backing
down the ramp onto US 29
northbound.
I'm not sure how much influence this will have with respect to justifying
a signal at the northbound
ramps; either way, it will probably be good information for you to have
in -house for further
analysis /consideration.
