2. Current traffic volumes on Chenal Parkway between Bowman Road
and Autumn Road exceed 35,000 trips per day.
3. Adequate left turn access is provided at the intersection of Bowman
Road and Chenal Parkway.
4. The addition of a left turn lane as proposed creates a very hazardous
access due to traffic having to turn left across three (3) lanes of traffic.
There are insufficient gaps in traffic to safely make a left turn maneuver
across three (3) lanes of traffic. Other locations on Chenal Parkway
have been converted to left turn protected by arrow only due to high
accident numbers, such as Markham Street and Chenal Parkway.
5. The proposed left turn lane is too close to the intersection of Bowman
Road and Chenal Parkway and its proximity will result in blocking of
the eastbound through traffic lanes resulting in added congestion and
an increase in rear end collisions in this area.
6. Median cuts are prohibited by the design requirements, which are
adopted by Ordinances #14,210 and #15,239.
7. Chenal Parkway Design requires a minimum of 600 ft between median
openings to provide adequate left turn storage for vehicles. There is
less than 500 feet between Bowman Road and the proposed median
cut.
8. The intersection of Bowman and Chenal Parkway extends 465 feet to
the east, thus leaving no room for adequate left turn storage for the
proposed access. Left turning vehicles will block eastbound Chenal
Parkway traffic on a corridor that is already over capacity.
