The following tas~ks will. be performed to accomplish this study. 1. Determine traffic patterns and characteristics in the study area: Peak period traffic counts will be made to identify pertinent traffic movements. Observation of traffic flows~will be made to determine existing circulation patterns and traffic control on days when school'is in session. 2. Perform a Roadway Inventory: A physic.al.inventory Of roadway features will be made to identify significant constraints or opportunities for r~adway improvements. ATTACHMENT A (Continued) Develo and Analyze Potential Improvements:: The traffic, data collected will be analyzed to ~etermine methods o'f improving traffic flow. These methods may include the alteration Of circulation patterns, traffic control and,~roadway widening. The alternative~improve ments will bg evaluated based on their potential for improving ~raffic operations and their costs~ (both ~conomic~and convenience). A report will be prepared documenting the results of the traffic s~hdy with recom~nendations for improvement projects. Five (5) copies of the report will be provided to the City of Carmel.
