1 To: Craig Rottenberg Long s Jewelers 60A South Avenue Burlington, MA From: Patrick Dunford, P.E. Senior Project Manager Date: December 20, 2018 Project #: Re: Burlington Mall Proposed Long s Jewelers Trip Generation Evaluation VHB has conducted a transportation analysis for the proposed relocation of Long s Jewelers (the Project ) to the Burlington Mall located on Middlesex Turnpike in Burlington, Massachusetts (the Site ). Specifically, the Proponent is proposing to build a new 18,400 square foot (sf) Long s Jewelers store at the westerly end of the Site between the main signalized mall driveway on Middlesex Turnpike and the right-in/right-out driveway to the north. VHB s current analysis builds upon a previously conducted study 1 for the recently-approved repositioning of the existing Sears space at the Burlington Mall. This study also considers the operation of the access driveways currently serving the Burlington Mall. The following memorandum summarizes the potential changes in traffic generation associated with the current Project, and the expected operation of the Burlington Mall driveways with and without the Project in place. Existing Conditions A redevelopment project recently was approved for the Burlington Mall involving the repositioning of building space previously occupied by Sears, and a Sears TBA outparcel building. With that approved project, 1,571,333 sf of physical building space will be provided within the Site as compared to the former 1,591,024 sf mall size. There also will be an even greater reduction (48,803 sf) in the amount of leasable area within the Site due to newly created corridors, common areas, etc., within the former Sears space, which now will be occupied by multiple tenants. Proposed Project The currently proposed Project will involve the relocation of Long s Jewelers from its current location at 60 South Street to a new 18,400 sf building to be constructed within the Site. The new building will be located between the Middlesex Turnpike signalized Site driveway and the right-in/right-out driveway to the north. No changes in the overall Site access plan are planned. Table 1 provides an overall summary of the recently-approved changes, along with the addition of the proposed Long s Jewelers building (with the associated overall building area changes to the Burlington Mall highlighted in yellow). 1 Burlington Mall Retail Collection Transportation Evaluation; VHB, (Watertown, Massachusetts) April 3, 2018 (revised May 15, 2018). \\MAWALD\ld\ \docs\memos\Traffic Memo\Transportation evaluation.docx

3 Ref: December 20, 2018 Page 3 As shown in Table 1, even with the new Long s Jewelers, there still will be a 1,291-sf reduction in the total physical building area at the Burlington Mall compared to its former condition. Furthermore, the 1,298,418 sf of resulting total mall leasable space still will be approximately 30,403 sf lower than the previous mall total of 1,328,821 sf of leasable area. The following sections discuss how traffic generation was estimated for the Project considering this reduction, as well as the new Long s Jewelers use proposed within the Site. Trip Generation As with the recently-prepared study for the approved mall redevelopment, trip generation was estimated using standard Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) data 2, considering the difference between the existing and proposed Burlington Mall building area and uses. The associated methodology is the same as that used in VHB s April 3, 2018 study (revised May 15, 2018). As the current proposal involves only the addition of retail space and not any change in restaurant area, this currently evaluation focusses on the ITE shopping center methodology discussed below. ITE Shopping Center VHB estimated traffic based on the change in total mall leasable area using ITE Shopping Center data. The results of this comparison, including the additional 18,400 sf Long s Jewelers component, are summarized in Table 2. 2 Trip Generation Manual (10 th edition), Institute of Transportation Engineers, Washington DC, \\MAWALD\ld\ \docs\memos\Traffic Memo\Transportation evaluation.docx

Estimates based on Land Use Code 820 (Shopping Center) for 1,280,605 sf of retail/restaurant space and Land Use Code 942 (Automobile Care Center) for 48,216 sf of TBA building area. As shown in Table 2, the proposed Long s Jewelers building is estimated to generate 38 and 52 vehicle trips during the respective weekday evening and Saturday midday peak hours. However, even with the addition of Long s Jewelers, there still will be an overall 30,403-sf reduction in tenant leasable area compared to the former Burlington Mall. Accordingly, the overall mall should experience a corresponding decrease of 91 and 77 vehicle trips during the critical weekday evening and Saturday midday peak hours, respectively, compared to its former fully-occupied condition. \\MAWALD\ld\ \docs\memos\Traffic Memo\Transportation evaluation.docx

5 Ref: December 20, 2018 Page 5 Build Condition Volumes As discussed above, even with the addition of Long s Jewelers there still should be a reduction in the volume of peakhour traffic generated by the mall compared to its former fully-occupied condition. This is due to both the reduced total leasable area, as well as the nature of the recently approved new restaurant space in the mall, which may experience peak times different from those of the rest of the mall. Accordingly, with a reduction in peak-hour traffic compared to that former full-occupancy condition, a full traffic analysis should not be necessary. However, to evaluate the expected operation of the Burlington Mall site driveways VHB reviewed and analyzed traffic counts previously conducted in this area. Specifically, VHB used traffic volumes from the traffic study 3 prepared for the nearby New England Executive Park project. While these counts are now five years old, they still are useful as they were conducted when the Sears and Sears TBA uses both still were fully active. Accordingly, these counts still should provide a reasonable estimation of the vehicular turning movements in and out of the mall at its former fully occupied state. Based on the preceding trip generation analysis, the actual peak-hour volumes in the future should be lower due to the recently approved changes. To isolate the current Project s potential impacts, the Long s Jeweler s volumes were added directly to the previously conducted counts and were used as the 2018 Build condition peak-hour traffic volumes. The Project traffic was assigned to the Site driveways based on their previously observed use, with additional consideration of the location of the proposed Project. This analysis focused primarily on the volume of traffic entering and exiting the mall, along with the existing street traffic at the time of the counts. While the street volumes likely have increased due ongoing growth in the area, the mall traffic likely soon will be decreasing as noted above. Other nearby potential or planned development projects were not incorporated into this analysis. With this methodology, any Project impacts can be more readily identified without being influenced by traffic growth associated with other projects or regular regional traffic growth. Adding the expected Long s Jeweler s traffic to the counts from the former fully-occupied mall condition results in an overly conservative analysis. While that assumes the addition of 38 and 52 trips during the weekday evening and Saturday midday peak hours, respectively, the overall mall volumes actually should be decreasing by 91 and 77 trips during the respective peak hours. Analysis of site access driveway normally is not conducted for conditions where volumes are expected to be lower than the former condition. Regardless, the potential impacts of adding additional Long s Jeweler s traffic to the Site were evaluated under this worst-case scenario as discussed in the following section. Traffic Operations Analysis To assess quality of flow, intersection capacity analyses were conducted with respect to 2018 Existing and 2018 Build traffic volume conditions. Capacity analyses provide an indication of how well the roadway facilities and intersections 3 Draft Environmental Impact Report (EEA No ) New England Executive Park (NEEP) Renovations and Expansion, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc. (VHB) (Watertown, Massachusetts) June \\MAWALD\ld\ \docs\memos\Traffic Memo\Transportation evaluation.docx

6 Ref: December 20, 2018 Page 6 serve the traffic demands placed upon them. Roadway operating conditions are classified by calculated levels-ofservice. The evaluation criteria used to analyze area intersections and roadways in this traffic study are based on the 2010 Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 4. Level of-service (LOS) is the term used to denote the different operating conditions that occur on a given roadway segment under various traffic volume loads. It is a qualitative measure that considers a number of factors including roadway geometry, speed, travel delay, freedom to maneuver, and safety. Level-of-service provides an index to operational qualities of a roadway segment or an intersection. Level-of-service designations range from A to F, with LOS A representing the best operating conditions and LOS F representing the worst operating conditions. The level-of-service designation is reported differently for signalized intersections and unsignalized intersections. For signalized intersections, the analysis considers the operation of all traffic entering the intersection and the level-ofservice designation is for overall conditions at the intersection. For unsignalized intersections, however, the analysis assumes that traffic on the mainline is not affected by traffic on the side streets. Thus, the level-of-service designation is for the critical movement entering or exiting the side street, which is generally the left-turn out of the side street. Intersection Capacity Analysis Capacity analyses were conducted for the 2018 Existing and 2018 Build conditions for the study area intersections. Table 3 summarizes the capacity analysis results for the signalized study area intersections. The capacity analyses worksheets are included in the Attachments to this evaluation. 4 Highway Capacity Manual, Transportation Research Board, Washington D.C., \\MAWALD\ld\ \docs\memos\Traffic Memo\Transportation evaluation.docx

As shown in Table 3, the addition of the 38- and 52- peak-hour trips associated with Long s Jewelers will have a negligible impact on the operation of the signalized driveways serving the mall. While some particular intersection movements may currently experience lengthy delays, or be affected by other nearby locations, the additional Projectgenerated traffic by itself will have a negligible impact. \\MAWALD\ld\ \docs\memos\Traffic Memo\Transportation evaluation.docx

As shown in Table 4, the existing right-in/right-out driveway on Middlesex Turnpike currently operates at LOS B and will continue to do so with the addition of Project traffic. Conclusion VHB has evaluated the potential changes in traffic generation resulting from the addition of an 18,400 sf Long s Jewelers store to the recently approved Burlington Mall redevelopment site. Following the same methodology used in the prior study for the mall redevelopment, the current analysis indicates that Long s Jewelers will generate 38 and 52 vehicle trips during the respective weekday evening and Saturday midday peak hours. However, the Burlington Mall still will have 30,403 sf less tenant leasable area than existed with the former fully-occupied mall. With that reduced building space, there will be 91 and 77 fewer vehicle trips during the weekday evening and Saturday midday peak hours, respectively, compared to that baseline condition. With the new Long s Jewelers traffic being distributed across the multiple driveways serving the Site, there should not be a noticeable impact. Regardless, these Site access driveways were analyzed under a worst-case condition of the Long s Jeweler s traffic being added to the formerly fully-occupied mall volumes. Instead of the expected decrease in peak-hour volumes, this assumes an increase in Site traffic associated with the Long s Jeweler s traffic. Even under these conservative assumptions, the analysis indicates that this current Project will have a negligible impact on the operation of the Site access driveways All of the signalized Burlington Mall access driveways are part of a recently-installed adaptive signal system along the Middlesex Turnpike and Burlington Mall Road corridors. This system responds to actual traffic conditions on a cycle-by-cycle basis without strictly relying on more rigid pre-established timing plans. Accordingly, the existing \\MAWALD\ld\ \docs\memos\Traffic Memo\Transportation evaluation.docx
