REPRESENTATIVE PROJECTS
Mixed Land Use
| Permitting the Pier 4 Development, South Boston, Massachusetts |
| Conley Associates, Inc. was retained by New England Development (as a subconsultant to H.W. Lochner) to prepare the transportation component of the Environmental Impact Report submissions for a one million square-foot mixed-use development to be located on Pier 4 in South Boston. The proposed development consisted of a mix of office, hotel, housing, restaurant, and civic space. Issues of concern included the provision of additional transit trips to South Boston, a detailed Transportation Demand Management Program, and parking, bicycle, and pedestrian accommodation on the site. Conley Associates, Inc. determined the existing and future transportation conditions in the study area-including the traffic operations, transit supply, pedestrian and bicycle facilities, parking, and loading and service area operations. Conley Associates, Inc. worked closely with the Boston Transportation Department to develop trip generation rates for the proposed project and determine the net site impact over Central Artery assumptions for the site. Conley Associates, Inc. also coordinated with various public agencies in order to determine the future transportation supply and demand in the South Boston Waterfront District. In the future conditions, Conley Associates, Inc. accounted for the site trips from the Silver Line Transitway project, other potential transit developments, as well as the roadway projects underway. |
| Mixed Use Development, Wellesley, Massachusetts |
| Conley Associates, Inc. determined the transportation impacts of a proposed mixed-use development to be located in Wellesley, Massachusetts. An existing inn and restaurant would be redeveloped into 20 condominium units, 6,700 square-feet (sf) of retail space, and 6,700 sf of restaurant space. Conley Associates, Inc. conducted an extensive data collection effort for this study including daily traffic volumes along Washington Street and Grove Street, peak hour counts at four intersections, as well as a parking inventory and occupancy study. The proposed development would accommodate parking for residents and some retail patrons, although some off site parking would be necessary. Conley Associates, Inc. determined that although area parking was at its maximum capacity until approximately 2:00 PM, a significant number of parking spaces would be available in the early evening hours for the retail and restaurant portion of the mixed-use development |
| Killington Mixed-Use Campus Development, Killington, Vermont |
| Conley Associates, Inc. analyzed the traffic impact of a proposed hotel, condominium, and retail development to be located near the intersection of Killington Road at Route 4 in Killington, Vermont. Conley Associates, Inc. calculated the trip generation associated with the three, planned stages of construction using industry standards and added it to existing traffic in the study area. Following VTrans standards throughout the traffic analysis, Conley Associates, Inc. determined that the proposed mixed-use development would not change the level of service at the intersection of Killington Road at Route 4. |
| Mixed-Use Development, Harvard, Massachusetts |
| Conley Associates, Inc. assessed the traffic impacts expected as a result of a proposed mixed-use development to be located on Ayer Road in Harvard, Massachusetts. The development will consist of four lots accessed by one driveway and will include office and retail space and a Dunkin` Donuts. The traffic study focused on the weekday AM and PM commuter peak periods due to the mixed-use nature of the development. Using both locally collected and industry standard data, Conley Associates, Inc. determined the expected trip generation and concluded that the intersection on Ayer Road would warrant a southbound left-turn lane for vehicles entering the site due to the heavy traffic volumes on Ayer Road. |
| Quechee Mixed-Use Development, Quechee/Hartford, Vermont |
| Conley Associates, Inc. determined the appropriate land use and size of a development along VT Route 4 between the I-89 Exit 1 ramps by using the capacity of the existing transportation facilities as the determining factor. The preferred building program consisted of 70 units of single family housing, 50,000 square feet of retail development, and a 100,000 square foot office building. It was determined that by having a balanced mixed-use development, the site would be able to be developed to its potential while having the least detrimental impact to the operations of VT Route 4 at the site driveway during the peak hours. |
