RE: Aramore Project — Westfield Blvd, Carmel
A &F Engineering has conducted a cursory site plan review and analysis for the proposed Aramore
project as it relates to future traffic impacts within the near -by area. This review included the
collection of existing traffic data along Westfield Boulevard, estimates of traffic that will be
generated by the proposed Aramore project and the impacts of this traffic on Westfield Boulevard
and Maple Lane.
The following summarizes the results of the review and analysis:
• Based on existing daily commuter patterns and the characteristics of the proposed land use,
it is anticipated that approximately 15% to 20% of all traffic generated by the proposed
development will utilize Maple Drive.
• Current traffic count data and analysis shows that Westfield Boulevard operates with a
volume to capacity (v /c) ratio of 0.44 during the weekday peak hour. A v/c of 1.0 represents
a roadway that is at capacity and theoretically would not be able to accommodate additional
traffic. The current conditions (0.44) indicate that the roadway is at 44% capacity. Traffic
projections show that when the traffic from the proposed Aramore project is added the v/c
will only slightly increase to 0.50 (50% capacity) during the peak hour.
8365 KEYSTONE CROSSING, SUITE 201 - INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA 46240
TELEPHONE (317) 202-0864 - FACISMILE (31 7) 202 -0908
• The proposed access drive design along Westfield Boulevard and the proposed addition of a
southbound left -turn lane along Westfield Boulevard at the proposed access drive will
provide for safe and efficient movements to /from the site.
As summarized above, based on the existing traffic data and the traffic projections for the proposed
development, the Aramore project will not have a significant traffic impact on the local area
roadway network.
