The Project has frontage on 52nd Avenue, which is owned and maintained by the City. The purpose of this study was to document existing conditions and the proposed Project site plan, as well as calculate anticipated site-generated trips associated with the Project. The Project will consist of 1.8 acres of “Automated Car Wash” land use with 1 tunnel as shown in the site plan (Attachment A). The Project is forecast to generate approximately 62 AM and 78 PM peak hour trips and 780 daily trips based on calculations performed using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (TGM), 11th Edition. The Project is located near US 60 (Grand Avenue), which is owned and maintained by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The Project is expected to generate fewer than 100 peak hour trips; therefore, a TIS has been prepared to satisfy the City and ADOT’s requirements. This TIS has been prepared in accordance with ADOT’s Traffic Engineering Guidelines and Processes (TGP) 240 Traffic Engineering Analyses for review and approval by ADOT and the City. The ADOT TIA Pre-submittal Form provided to ADOT can be found in Attachment B. Alan Heathcoat, P.E.

The Project site is an existing aggregate parking lot for trucks surrounded by a chain link fence. The site is bounded by Bethany Home Road to the north, 51st Avenue to the east, Sunbelt Rentals to the south, and 52nd Avenue to the west. The anticipated Project opening year is 2023. Figure 1: Project Location 3 EXISTING CONDITIONS 3.1 Existing Roadways US 60 is a six-lane, paved, east-west divided roadway with 3 lanes in each direction. The cross section consists of pavement, raised median, curb, and gutter on both sides of the roadway. The posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour (mph). US 60 is classified as an Urban Principal Arterial based on the based on the ADOT Statewide Federal Functional System Online Map. US 60 is classified as an Freeway/Expressway based on the City of Glendale Transportation Plan (November 2017). Bethany Home Road is a five-lane paved east-west roadway with lanes in each direction and a two-way left-turn lane (TWLTL). The cross section consists of pavement, curb, and gutter on both sides of the roadway. Sidewalk is present on both sides of the roadway, except for small sections of missing sidewalk on the north side of Bethany Home Road. The posted speed limit is 40 mph. Bethany Home Road is classified as an Urban Minor Project Site 52nd Avenue Bethany Home Road Greenlight Traffic Engineering, LLC S 14050 N 83rd Ave, Ste 290, Peoria, AZ 85381 T (602) 499-1339 W greenlightte.com Page 3 Arterial based on the ADOT Statewide Federal Functional System Online Map. Bethany Home Road is classified as an Arterial based on the City of Glendale Transportation Plan (November 2017). 52nd Avenue is a two-lane paved north-south roadway. The cross section consists of pavement, curb, gutter, and sidewalk on both sides of the roadway. There is no posted speed limit on 52nd Avenue. 52nd Avenue is classified as an Urban Local based on the ADOT Statewide Federal Functional System Online Map. 52nd Avenue is not classified on the City of Glendale Transportation Plan (November 2017). 3.2 Existing Intersections Bethany Home Road and 52nd Avenue is a three-leg unsignalized intersection with a yield sign present on the northbound approach. The northbound approach consists of one right-turn lane; the eastbound approach consists of a one through lane and one shared through/right-turn lane; the westbound approach consists of a two through lanes. 4 PROPOSED SITE CONDITIONS 4.1 Site Access, Circulation and Parking The layout of the proposed building and parking is shown on the Site Plan in Attachment A. Access to the Project will be provided via one proposed driveway on the west side of the Project at 52nd Avenue. There are no sight distance concerns at the site access driveway location. Vehicles will enter the site on the southwest corner of the site, continue to the east side of the site, enter one of three available storage lanes, then loop counterclockwise into the automated car wash. The Project will provide 32 total parking spaces used for vacuuming, located on the west side of the proposed car wash building. 4 spaces for employee parking will be provided on the east side of the car wash building. 4.2 Trip Generation The proposed Project consists of a 1.8-acre “Automated Car Wash” land use with 1 tunnel and 5,000 square feet of building space. The Project is forecast to generate approximately 62 AM and 78 PM peak hour trips and 780 daily trips based on calculations performed using the ITE TGM, 11th Edition. Calculated trip values are shown in Table 1. A detailed trip generation calculation sheet is provided in Attachment C.

Land Use Code (LUC), per ITE TGM, 11th Edition. 2. The AM Peak Hour Traffic was estimated at 8% of the daily traffic. 3. The daily traffic was estimated using an assumptions that the PM Peak Hour Traffic is 10% of the daily traffic. 5 CONCLUSIONS The following conclusions are made based on the findings of the Project TIS: 1. The Project is expected to generate approximately 62 AM and 78 PM peak hour trips and 780 daily trips. 2. The Project is not expected to have a significant impact to the surrounding roadway infrastructure as it is expected to generate fewer than 100 peak hour trips. 3. There are no anticipated sight distance concerns at the Project driveway. Greenlight Traffic Engineering, LLC S 14050 N 83rd Ave, Ste 290, Peoria, AZ 85381 T (602) 499-1339 W greenlightte.com Page 4 6 RECOMMENDATIONS In summary, the proposed Project is expected to have no significant impact on the adjacent roadway network. The following recommendations were developed based on the findings of the Project TIS: 1. Design and construction of the proposed Project improvements should conform to the City’s design guidelines, as applicable.
