Subject: 	65 Monjoy Street - Traffic Comments

Nell ‑ I have reviewed the application materials and offer the following traffic comments.

*         I find the driveway width and location to be acceptable.

*         The applicant notes conducting an auto‑turn analysis for accessing the parking spaces. The analysis should be provided.  The applicant also references a similar parking layout on Lafayette Street for documentation of vehicle circulation adequacy.  I did conduct a field review of the Lafayette Street site and vehicle circulation is constrained.  In addition to providing the analysis information, I would like to request a field meeting with the applicant at the Lafayette Street site.

*         The site plan locates the narrowest parking space in a location where the building column will constrain vehicle maneuvers. I would suggest that the narrow space be located without building column interference.

*         I support a waiver for the non‑compliant dimensional parking spaces.

*         Backing maneuvers onto Monjoy Street will be required. I support this condition given low traffic speeds and volumes on Monjoy Street.

*         I am reviewing ADA accessibility compliance as it relates to access from the public sidewalk and will provide comments in the future.

If you have any questions, please contact me.
