MEMORANDUM '"' XC G ''[' '
FROM: Dannie.R. Cummings, P.E. . . ' '" ~~' ' ' '
DATE:. December 5, .1991
RE: Thompson Tract, Belt Line Road and Ledbetter Dr~
This memorandum is. in response to Mr'. Gary Hendricks' traffic
concerns regarding the proposed Thompson Tract development.
His first concern was. the impact of this 'site on traffic
operatioms at Belt Line and MacArthur. During the 5-6 PM Peak .
hour, approximately 60 vehicles will enter the intersection as a
result of traffic -generated by the site-. 24 will be westbound
Vehicles an 36 will be eastbound. These volumes are minor and
will have a negl%gible effect on the traffic operations at Belt
Line and MacArthur.
The second.concern was the impact on traffic movements on Belt
Line when train activity disrupts traffic into .the site. A train
of approximately two minutes in duration will create a two
vehicle queue, in the eastbound left turning %raffic and a four
vehicle queue in the westbound right turning 'traffic. Since
approximately two vehicles will be able.to store in the driveway
between the railroad and Belt Line, such a queue on Belt Line
will'be two vehicles in length.
· Mr. Hendricks' final, concerm was in reference to the railroad's
right of. way and how this af.[ected the construction of
improvements on the. Belt Line fronbage. This is still a'
questionable and uncertain area because DART is the current owner
of the trackage. and because of the probable difficulty 'in
obtaining right of way.
Attached'to this memorandum are six pieces of information for
your use:
1. 24-hour machine counts on Belt Line
2. ~isting PM peak hour counts at Belt Line and Ledbetter
3. Existing PM-peak hour counts at Belt Line and MacArthur
4. Proposed-PM peak hour volumes at.Belt Line-and Ledbetter'
5. ProPosed PM peak hour volumes at Belt Line and MacArthur
6. Table of traffic generation characteristics at the
proposed site
