1 Lenhart Traffic Consulting, Inc. Transportation Planning & Traffic Engineering Memorandum: Date: March 7, 2017 TO: RE: Laura Hodgson Planning Dept. Area 3 MNCPPC 8787 Georgia Avenue Silver Spring, MD Traffic Statement for First National Bank FROM: Mike Lenhart The purpose of this report is to provide a Traffic Statement as required in the Montgomery County Subdivision Staging Policy. The property is located in the Germantown Town Center Policy Area in the southwest corner of the intersection at Germantown Road and Crystal Rock Drive. A site location map is shown on Exhibit 1. As part of this analysis, the 2009 Germantown Employment Area Sector Plan was reviewed. Based on this document, Germantown Road is designated as a major highway (M-61), and Crystal Rock Drive is designated as a minor arterial (MA-1). In addition, dual bikeways are proposed along both Germantown Road (DB-25) and Crystal Rock Road (DB-34). See Appendix A for relevant excerpts from the 2009 Germantown Employment Area Sector Plan. The property currently is developed with a 2,733 SF Fast Food Restaurant (without drive-thru) and is proposed to be re-purposed to accommodate a 3,270 SF bank. The Subdivision Staging Policy establishes the Local Area Transportation Review (LATR) Guidelines. These Guidelines are utilized by the Montgomery County Planning Board for the Administration of the Adequate Public Facilities Ordinance. The attached Trip Generation Table for the project (Exhibit 2) contains the trip generation totals for both the existing and proposed use. Trip generation is based on the ITE trip generation rates for Fast Food Restaurant without Drive-Thru (ITE-933) and Drive-in Bank (ITE-912). Note that the ITE trip generation rates were modified for the Germantown Town Center Policy Area, per the LATR Guidelines. Based on this information, the existing 2,733 SF restaurant generates 91 AM and 101 PM peak hour person trips, and the proposed re-purposed building which will consist of a 3,270 SF bank would generate 41 AM and 88 PM peak hour person trips. This results in a net reduction of 50 AM and 13 PM peak hour person trips. Note that the per the SDAT report contained in Appendix A, the existing building is over 12 years old and, therefore, is vested as identified in the Subdivision Staging Policy. Based on the above information, a full traffic study is not required to satisfy the Local Area Transportation Review (LATR) test since the net increase in peak hour person trips due to the proposed development is less than 50.

13 areawide recommendations TRANSPORTATION Transportation Framework This Sector Plan is transit- and pedestrianoriented. Both the overall planning framework and the design of each district emphasize public transportation, walking, and biking. The overall development pattern requires construction of the Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT) to support the recommended densities and link the centers to each other and the regional transportation system. The CCT s route and stations establish a framework that focuses on the highest density at the Town Center station with lower densities at other stations. The Plan recommends a CCT loop to serve districts and increase employment on both sides of I-270. Roadway design must also accommodate transit. MARC station improvements are recommended to provide better access for pedestrians, bus patrons, and up-county commuters. Major changes are recommended for I-270, state highways, and other major roadways. Interstate 270 and MD 355, MD 118, MD 27, Great Seneca Highway, Father Hurley Boulevard, Crystal Rock Drive, Middlebrook Road, and Observation Drive are major transportation arteries. These roadways tend to divide the areas through which they pass. They are built at a scale and operate in a way that discourages pedestrians in favor of vehicle traffic. This Plan supports additional lanes for I-270 to serve through traffic better by providing lanes for transit and high-occupancy vehicles. It recommends changes to the other thoroughfares designed to accommodate pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit. A dense grid of local and arterial roads is proposed to disperse traffic and improve circulation, access, and the pedestrian environment. One-way pairs might also be used to improve circulation. A detailed streetscape plan will implement this Plan and provide consistent standards for street trees and other plantings, lighting, sidewalks and crossings, furnishings, bike accommodations, and on-street parking.

14 areawide recommendations Major enhancements and changes to the transportation system are necessary to achieve the Plan s vision. It proposes a layered network of transit, roadways, bike and pedestrian facilities to support and serve the businesses, institutions, and residents of the planning area. Transportation demand management is a preferred means for maintaining transportation capacity. Transit Germantown will become a transit center. Along with MARC and bus service, the CCT will provide redevelopment capacity and travel options. The CCT will also be a force in shaping the Germantown community, forming and connecting distinct centers. It is vital to make pedestrian connections to these facilities. Corridor Cities Transitway (CCT) The CCT is a pivotal infrastructure investment for Germantown and the entire north County. This Plan is focused on delivery of the transit line. The densities proposed are determined by the location of the proposed transit stops. The phasing of development is linked to delivery of the transit service. There are several key links in the CCT transit alignment. Century Boulevard through the Town Center will be the hub of the CCT in Germantown. Locate the Town Center transit station on the Bellemead property where station access is greatest by pedestrians and bus riders. The CCT transit line enters Germantown from the south on the west side of I-270 and follows a separate right-of-way over Middlebrook Road. The greatest number of transit support facilities will occur at the Town Center station including bus bays and kiss-and-ride spaces. From the Town Center station, and through the Cloverleaf and North End districts, Century Boulevard will be a transit- and pedestrianoriented street, with four vehicle lanes, pedestrian or bike facilities, and planted green panels on both sides. After crossing to the east side of I-270 to the Dorsey Mill station, the transitway will turn north in the median of Observation Drive to Clarksburg. An eastern segment of the CCT will cross I-270 from south of the Cloverleaf station to Seneca Meadows Parkway and the future Seneca Meadows station. The transit alignment then turns north crossing over MD 27 to the location where the western alignment and eastern alignment rejoin, just west of the Dorsey Mill station. The planned CCT alignment serves the west side of I-270 in the near-term and the east side of I-270 in the long-term. The Town Center CCT station is located on the Bellemead property to maximize access by pedestrians and bus riders. The CCT station previously considered along Middlebrook Road has been deleted. Transit stations along the CCT should be designed to provide convenient and safe pedestrian access and each should incorporate public art that conveys community identity and a sense of place. Potential CCT eastern alignments should be evaluated for ways to better serve the Montgomery College Campus for future phases of the CCT. Bus Transit and MARC Initiate a circulator bus providing frequent service between the Town Center, MARC station, and transit neighborhoods. This service may be funded by the proposed urban service district. MetroRapid bus rapid transit in Los Angeles, CA Expand access to MARC service for patrons who walk to the station by concentrating residential development near the station. Include additional MARC parking in garages where MARC surface parking exists complying with design guidelines for location and height to minimize impact to the adjoining Germantown Historic District.

15 areawide recommendations Map 10 Bicycle Network Bicycle and Pedestrian Routes Germantown s existing and planned bicycle facilities include shared use paths, shared use roads, and park trails. In addition to bicycle facilities, sidewalks and trails will connect transit stations, residential, and commercial areas. Redevelopment must reinforce pedestrian-oriented design, particularly in the centers. In certain neighborhoods, specific pedestrian paths are recommended to connect to the Town Center and to other transit station areas. Remove the Park Access Road recommended in the 1989 Plan from Crystal Rock Drive to Black Hill Regional Park; retain unpaved trail sections. Extend the natural surface trail along the Seneca Greenway from the trailhead parking lot on MD 355 to the proposed Upcounty Corridor Trail. Install a missing bikeway connection from Pinnacle Drive to Celebration Way in the Town Center. Provide a Bicycle Beltway that connects Germantown to parks and trails to the north, south and east. Close the gap between Middlebrook Road east of MD 355 and Brink Road by building the bikeway along the master plan alignment for M-83, or an alternative if M-83 is not built. 32 Germantown Forward Approved and Adopted - October 2009

16 areawide recommendations Street Character Pedestrian-friendly Intersection Design Map 11 Street Character Widening street intersections is inconsistent with creating Germantown as a transit-served, pedestrian-scaled community; the intersections with MD 118 should not be widened unless needed for pedestrian safety, improved bus access or bicycle access and safety. Elsewhere, if lane widening is required for transportation capacity, notably in the vicinity of I-270 interchanges, do not exceed 60-foot crossings without a landscaped median for pedestrian refuge. Crosswalks should be marked and should provide adequate crossing time to accommodate pedestrians of all ages and abilities safely. Parking Parking policy should encourage transit ridership, require fewer parking spaces, and take advantage of shared parking. A parking district for the Town Center should be established soon after the adoption of this Plan. Projects should include flex cars and spaces, use structured parking where feasible (or otherwise ensure that project design does not preclude future options for structured parking), and screen parking from the street.

19 areawide recommendations Map 12 Roadway Network Street Network The street network is proposed to serve regional and through traffic with highways, but also to fill in a complete network of local roads, accommodate exclusive transit routes, and create pedestrian and bike routes that create a range of transportation alternatives. The goal is to create as close to a grid pattern as possible to allow local traffic options for getting places without using main roads. A sound grid pattern of streets also allows for other means of transport. Highways This Plan supports the planned I-270 widening to a 12-lane facility with some preferential treatment to transit vehicles and high-occupancy vehicles. The Maryland State Highway Administration is studying options that include express toll lanes. Along the MD 355 corridor, traffic congestion will be severe at intersections with Ridge Road (MD 27) and other east-west routes. This Plan carries forward the 1989 Plan recommendation for a grade-separated interchange at MD 27 and adds grade-separated interchanges at Middlebrook Road and MD 118. An urban network alternative to grade-separated interchanges is also possible. This pattern of at-grade, one-way couplets around a town square feature is applied where major highways meet. Preliminary analyses indicate that this approach could provide capacity comparable to the proposed grade-separated interchanges. The urban network has a lower capital cost, 36 Germantown Forward Approved and Adopted - October 2009

20 areawide recommendations but requires a substantial and coordinated redevelopment. The Plan recommends that the urban network concept be studied further, either as a supplement to this Plan or as part of a project planning study. The Montgomery County Department of Transportation s (MCDOT) study of Midcounty Highway Extended (M-83) is expected to be completed in Spring The road s alignment is outside the Plan area but for purposes of analysis, has been assumed to be part of the regional transportation network. One alternative to a new right-of-way for Midcounty Highway is improving MD 355. MCDOT has found that the current 150-foot right-of-way and maintaining existing development would not meet capacity need. The study will be expanded to examine a 250-foot right-of-way. Staging in this Plan will link the ultimate right-of-way width to the County Council s decision on the Midcounty Highway study. Arterial Road Network There are several gaps in the road network that serves local traffic. To meet the demands anticipated as a result of new development, this Plan recommends new roads as well as extending and widening existing roads. Development of a more robust street grid will enhance pedestrian and automobile access, particularly to CCT and MARC stations. This Plan adds several new roads to the 1989 Germantown Plan network. Direct access for the Dorsey Mill transit station to and from the north along I-270. This access can be provided by either direct access ramps at the Dorsey Mill Road interchange or a revision to the Father Hurley Boulevard interchange. The new access would improve intermodal connection between future managed lanes and bus service on I-270 and the future transit service supplied by the CCT along Century Boulevard. This access would also reduce congestion at the junction of Father Hurley Boulevard with Crystal Rock Drive, reduce commercial use of Kinster Drive, and provide better access to businesses along Century Boulevard. A crossing of I-270 will be created for the CCT on Dorsey Mill Road which will improve multimodal access, east-west travel, and traffic distribution. Connect Observation Drive through the Montgomery College campus from MD 118 to Middlebrook Road. Use the existing rightof-way of Observation Drive within an 80-foot right-of-way to include a four-lane roadway (with off-peak parking) and a continuous shared use, north-south bike and pedestrian path. Reclassify the following major highways to controlled major highways to reflect their existing and anticipated character and function.

21 areawide recommendations Local Street Network Creating a grid pattern provides vehicle travel alternatives at a scale that can also serve walkers and cyclists. The Germantown grid is designed to facilitate transit connections. The Plan s recommendations to reclassify many local roads from industrial to business reflects the changing character of Germantown and provides the opportunity to create design speeds, lane widths, and streetscaping that serve both vehicles and pedestrians. Add Walter Johnson Road (B-3) to the Sector Plan along with Bowman Mill Road (B-16) to facilitate MARC station access. Remove Blunt Road s (B-8) proposed cul-desac and connect it to Middlebrook Road. Extend Century Boulevard (B-10) west across Wisteria Drive to opposite the extension of Waterford Hills Boulevard. Continue Waterford Hills Boulevard (B-22) south to connect with Waters Road and continue further south to the extension of Century Boulevard (B-10). Extend Waters Road (B-5) to connect to Germantown Road. Connect Crystal Rock Drive and Century Boulevard with two new roads (B-17 and B-19). Reclassify Kinster Road (MA-299) and the (MA-1) as minor arterial roadways to reflect their arterial function in a predominantly residential setting. Extend Cider Press Place (MA-4) to connect to Observation Drive and MD 355. Reclassify the following industrial roads to business streets to reflect their anticipated commercial and mixed-use character and function. Aircraft Drive Century Boulevard Cloverleaf Center Drive Crystal Rock Road Dorsey Mill Road Goldenrod Lane Seneca Meadows Road (formerly Goldenrod Lane) Evaluate a circulation pattern during the design of the Town Center transit station that converts Crystal Rock Drive into a one-way street northbound between MD 118 and Aircraft Drive, and converts Aircraft Drive into a one-way street southbound between Crystal Rock Drive and MD 118. Channel northbound traffic on Crystal Rock Drive to allow for a longer queue for traffic from I-270 and achieve bus door access on the right side adjacent to the Transit Center as buses circulate around the Bellemead property and transit station. southwestern portion of Crystal Rock Road 38 Germantown Forward Approved and Adopted - October 2009

25 implementation BICYCLE SYSTEM The Germantown study area is served by a network of existing and planned bicycle facilities, including shared use paths, shared use roads, and park trails. A proposed hard surface trail system along Great Seneca Creek will allow recreational cyclists and walkers to travel from Seneca Greenway to Damascus using the Magruder Trail via the North Germantown Greenbelt and through Clarksburg per the Countywide Park Trails Plan. This Plan also proposes that the existing Seneca Greenway Trail have the natural surface trail extended. A hard surface trail should be provided connecting from the trailhead parking lot on MD 355 to the proposed Upcounty Corridor. The access roadway from Century Boulevard to Table 6: Bikeway Classifications Black Hill Regional Park should be removed due to environmental concerns, although an unpaved trail connection should be retained. The table below contains information from the Montgomery County Countywide Bikeway Plan for the study area. Although this Sector Plan doesn t recommend specific sidewalks and pedestrian facilities, they are an important part of connectivity to transit stations, residential, and commercial areas. One connection that is of particular interest is a missing connection from Pinnacle Drive to Celebration Way. As part of the Road Code, design elements should foster pedestrian-oriented design, particularly in the Plan s urban areas. In certain neighborhoods, specific pedestrian pathways are recommended to facilitate access to the Town Center and Transit Station Development Areas.
