I Espey, Huston & Associates, Inc. (EH&A) was initially retained by the Town of Addison to study the need for three proposed railroad crossings in the Town of Addison. These three crossings, which are identified in Exhibit A, have been previously submitted fur your cousideration by Addison. The correspondence which contained your respouse to this initial submittal was dated January 6, 1994. (File No. 948215/323.2). Following the previous submittal to Southern Pacific, the Town of Addison decided to pursue only two of the three crossings. One of the two crossings has two alternative locations, as shown on Exhibit B. This report focuses on these two crossings. Phase 1 -Traffie Conditions The first phase of EH&A's study involved an evaluation of traffic conditions in the general area of the proposed railroad crossings.. This phase included the following steps: • Examine land use in the general area. • Review existing historical and projected traffic volumes within the transportation network. • Evaluate whether whether the proposed railroad crossings would help to alleviate traffic congestion. • Determine if viable alternatives exist to the proposed crossings. 1. Genera! Description of the Area. The Town of Addison is a north Dallas community that if four and a half square miles in size. The Town has a residential population of 9400. The Town's population swells during the daytime hours to 100,000 people who travel to the town to work or eat at one of the 126 restaurants. There are approximately 1000 single-family homes, 19 apartment complexes and 9 hotels. Numerous retail areas are located in and adjacent to Addison. The are approximately 1.6 million square feet of retail space. Major retail centers, including the Galleria, Valley View and Prestonwood Malls, lie adjacent to Addison's city limits in Dallas, Texas. The Addison Airport is the third busiest general aviation airport in the nation. It is home to approximately 750 aircraft. One of the commercial areas that will benefit by the railroad crossings is the South Quorum area, bounded by Belt Une Road, the North Dallas Tollway, and the Southern Pacific Railroad Spur. This area contains 1.8 million square feet of office space. One-third of this land is vacant and open to future development. 15764 1 June 8, 19!14 I />􀁾􀀠 o LINDBERG BEL T LINE ROAD 􀁾􀁾 BELTWAY 1-3< I-10' «I o· OCi «>-3:: 0 "jii z 0 I-0 'a".

The Dallas North Tollway is a major oorth-south highway that passes through Addison. It serves as a link between the oorth Dallas urban and suburban communities and downtown Dallas. Interstate Highway 635 (I.H. 635) is an east-west highway that is located just south of Addison. Preston Road (U.S. 289) is a six-lane divided urban thoroughfare that runs oorth and south on the east side of Addison. Midway Road and Marsh Lane are nOrth-south urban thoroughfares that pass through Addison on the west side of town. Inwood RoadlAddison Road is a four-lane undivided oorth-south thoroughfare that passes through the center of Addison. The major thoroughfares that pass through Addison from east to west are Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road, although only the portion of Spring Valley Road between Midway Road and Marsh Lane is located within Addison's city limits. In addition, Arapaho Road is a major thoroughfare that enters Addison from the east and currently ends just west of the Dallas North Tollway. All the aforementioned east-west thoroughfares are six-lane divided arterials. Belt Line Road is a continuous loop around Dallas County. These major highways and thoroughfares are shown on Exhibit D. 3. Capacity of the Transportation Network. Traffic congestion on Belt Line Road within the city limits prompted the Town of Addison to commission a traffic study. This study included a tabulation of the recorded traffic volumes for different segments of Belt Line Road from 1982 to 1993. This tabulation, which is provided in Table 1, indicates the steady increase in traffic volumes during this period, 15164 4 COPPELL .. 1 "::::)1' J _ ."

This analysis is sum.tllMized in Table 2.

The capacity ofBelt Line Road was established using data obtained from the North Central TeJi:as Council of Governments (NCTCOG), which is a regional planning agency. A daily capacitY of 43,500 vehicles per day was used for the Volume/Capacity calculations. The No-Build Scenario assumes Arapaho Road is not eJO:tended across the railroad. Year 2010 scenarios are provided assuming Arapabo Road is eJi:tended to Midway Road and Marsh Lane, respectively. LOS is a quantitative measure of identifying how effectively traffic is managed along a roadway link and is defined by categories A through F. The Highway Capacity Manual (Special Report 209) provides the following general statements regarding arterial LOS: "Leyel-Q/-seryjce A describes primarily free flowoperations at average travel speeds nsually about 90 percent of the free flow speed for the arterial class. Vehicles are completely unimpeded in their ability to maneuver within the traffic stream. Stopped delay at signalized intersections is minimal. Leyel-Q/-service B represents reasonably unimpeded operations at average travel speeds nsually about 70 percent of the free flow speed for the arterial class. The ability to maneuver within the traffic stream is only slightly restricted and stopped delays are not bothersome. Drivers are not generally subjected to appreciable tension. 15764 8 -Leyel-Q/-service Crepresents stable operation. However, ability to maneuver and change lanes in mid-block locatiollS may be JIIOl'e restricted than in LOS B, and longer queues and/or adverse signal coordination may contribute to lower average travel speeds of about 50 percent of the average :free flow speed for the arterial class. Motorists will experience an appreciable tension while driving. Levei-of-service D borders on a range on which small increases in flow may cause substantial increases in approach delay and, bence, decreases in arterial speed. This may be due to adverse signal progression, inappropriate signal timing. bigb volumes. or some combination of these. Average travel speeds are about 40 percent of :free flow speed. l.eyel-o(..service E is characterized by significant approach delays and average travel speeds of one-third the :free flow speed or lower. Sucb OperatiOIlS are caused by some combination or adverse progression, bigb signal dellSity, extellSive queuing at critical intersectiollS, and inappropriate signal timing. Level-Q/-service Fcharacterizes arterial flow at extremely low speeds below one-third to one-quarter of the :free flow speed. Intersection congestion is likely at critical signalized locatiollS, with high approach delays resulting. Adverse progression is :frequently a contributor to this condition.• Table 1 confirms that the extension of Arapabo Road reduces the projected increase in traffic volumes on Belt Line Road througb the year 2010. In the vicinity of Addison Road, the Arapaho project will divert n,ooo to 12,000 vehicles per day :from Belt Line Road resulting in a net improvement in LOS :from the existing condition. Near Marsb Lane, the impact of the Arapaho Road extension depends on wbether the extension is completed to Marsh Lane. With a Marsb Lane connection, the model predicts a 20% net diversion of traffic from Belt Line Road of ahout 8,000 vehicles per day with a resulting improvement in the LOS. ColISequently, the Arapaho Road extension, with the associated railroad crossings, is considered vital to the improvement of Addison's transportation network. 15764 9 JUlIO i. 1994 In addition to the Arapaho Road railroad crossings at Location 1. two additional crossings were considered between Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road. Addison had previously identified two possible iocatiollB for the third crossing. (See Exhibit A.) Two primary factors provide the impetus for these additional railroad crossings: i) Westbound traffic crossing under the Dallas North Tollway on Valley Verde cannot connect with a north-south arterial south of Belt Line Road. Ii) The Quorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard business park contains high-rise commercial and hntel development. The remaining undeveloped land in this business park is slated for similar high-density development. Traffic from these developments cannot connect with a north-south arterial south of Belt Line Road. In order to access the Inwood Road/Addison Road arterial at the nearest point, traffic from Verde Valley and the Quorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard business park must first travel west on Belt Line Road. A railroad crossing between Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road will provide additional relief to the congested Belt Line Road Corridor. 4. Alternatives to the Railroad 􀁃􀁲􀁯􀁳􀁳􀁩􀁮􀁾􀀮􀀠 Belt Line Road, from the Dallas North Tollway to Marsh Lane, has been largely developed on both sides up to a l00-foot wide road right-of-way (R.O.W.). Nine-foot-wide parkways are typical behind the curb on both sides of the roadway. The existing commercial, retail and restaurant developments that abut most of this portion of Belt Line road make a roadway widening project impractical. Consequently. upgrading the existing railroad crossing at Belt Line Road is not feasible. A similar condition exists with the existing developments along Spring Valley Road between the Dallas North Tollway and Marsh Lane. In addition, the railroad crossing at Spring Valley Road is located within the city limits of Farmers Branch. As a result, the Town of Addison does not have the jurisdiction required to upgrade this crossing. Given the degree of traffic congestion in the general area, an additional railroad crossing between Belt Line Road and Spring Valley Road would appear to be highly desirable. Grade-separated crossings at Arapaho Road and the Quorum Road extension were also considered. At Quorum Road, there is not sufficient room to construct the ramps required for a grade-separated crossing. At Arapahn Road, a grade-separated crossing would have to span the wye portion of an industrial lead and Addison Road. The resultant bridge would be prohibitively expensive. In addition, it is uulikely that neighboring businesses would favor such a major grade-separated structure. Therefore, grade-separated crossings do not appear to be viable alternatives to the proposed at-grade crossings. 15764 10 Juno 8, 1994 Phase 2 -Construction Impacts The second pbase ofEH&A's study involved a review ofthe construction impacts associated with the proposed railroad crossings. This pbrase included the following considerations: • Geometric considerations of the railroad crossings. • Impact of the crossings on Railroad operations. 1. Geometric Considerations The extension of Arapaho Road (see Location 1 -Exhibit B) across the wye portion of an industrial lead track will require two at-grade railroad crossings. The two at-grade crossings would occur at approximate elevations of 628 and 630 mean sea level (ms). The intersection of Addison Road and Arapaho Road is at an approximate elevation of 630 msl. Consequently, the road extension across the wye would be relatively flat. Furthermore, if Arapaho Road were extended at a lOOO-foot radius west from the Addison Road intersection, the northern curb line would maintain an approximate minimum borizontal clearance of 50 feet from the southern most railroad track (see Exhibit E). An extension of Quorum DrivelLandmark Boulevard across the railroad bas two alternative alignments, (see Location 2 -Exhibit B). The southernmost aligoment appears to be the more favorable as it does not involve reconstruction of a portion of Quorum Drive/I .andmark Boulevard. In addition, the southern alignment provides an additional connection to the Dallas North Tollway service road. The northern railroad crossing would occur at an approximate elevation of 633. The Inwood Road intersection would occur at an approximate elevation of630. A straight grade of 5.5%.± would result between the track and Inwood Road (see Exhibit F). The southern alignmeni railroad crossing would occur at an approximate elevation of 632. The Inwood Road intersection would occur at an approximate elevation of 627.5. A straight grade of 7.50% would result between the track and Inwood Road (see Exhibit G). Although the horizontal and vertical geometries would need to be evaluated in more detail during the design pbase, there appears to be no geometric constraints wbich would probibit the aforementioned railroad crossings. 15764 11 lune S, 1994 􀀭􀁾􀀠 I Jill ------:NO-=-5',"O'C'"V '-' 2 (/) (/) o a:: U 2 o (/) Cl Cl Cl 􀁾􀀠 o 1000 2000 3000 BOOK PAGE 1023 ! r 􀁐􀀨􀀡􀀧􀁬􀀬􀁴􀁾􀀠 4J ..1;' ,!I':i.'
