<br /> I ambient traffic. The normally prescribed measure for the observed type of problem is <br /> traffic signalization, assuming warrants for traffic signals are met. However, the State <br /> DOT has been reluctant to have traffic signals installed on Highway 130. As noted in <br /> Table 3 of the Traffic Impact Analysis Report, Orchidland Business Center, First <br /> I Revision (2005), prepared by M&E Pacific, Inc., the current intersections on Highway <br /> 130 at Paradise Drive and Orchidland Drive further to the north are already at level of <br /> I service F in the morning peak, and the latter intersection is also at level of service F in <br /> the afternoon peak. The morning delay at Paradise Drive was 290 seconds and the <br /> I calculated queue length was 15 vehicles. Likewise, the morning delay at Orchidland <br /> Drive was 527 seconds and the calculated queue length was 15 vehicles. Both these <br /> I delays and queue {engths are much higher in magnitude than the 126 secondsl10 <br /> vehicles queue length calculated for the Old Keaau-Pahoa Road left turn lane in the <br /> morning. The above conditions at Paradise Drive and Orchidland Drive are being <br /> I tolerated without traffic signals being installed, and it should be expected that the two <br /> Pahoa intersections would remain unsignalized. <br /> I CONCLUSIONS <br /> Although both study intersections on Highway 130 at Old Keaau-Pahoa Road and <br /> Kahakai Boulevard would be in need of mitigation by 2008, the proposed project is not <br /> I expected to have an adverse traffic impact on these intersections since it would not <br /> increase delay. The proposed intersection serving the project site is expected to <br /> I operate at acceptable levels of service and would not require mitigation. A storage <br /> length for two vehicles would be sufficient for the left turn lane on Highway 130. <br /> i <br /> I <br /> I <br /> 1. <br /> ~IIDr. M & E PACIFIC, INC.
