Mason and Monte,
Engineering have reviewed the resubmittal and have the following questions and comments:
When will the existing public right-of-way be required to be abandoned?
I have forwarded the revised plan to Traffic Engineering to confirm the adequacy of the turning radius of the
turnaround.
The applicant did not submit a sketch grading and drainage plan as requested. When will the plan be submitted?
Following is the conditions of approval of the traffic study which should be made a part of staffs approval in the write
up:
1. Vehicular traffic dropping off or picking up students shall not stop, wait or delay other vehicular movements,
block driveways of adjacent properties , and/or form vehicular queues at any time on Chicot Rd or Vernon
Estates Dr. Should queuing occur on any of these streets, the school agrees to eliminate such queuing by
modifying the plan including implementing staggered start/dismissal times as required.
2. School agrees to have their Traffic Engineer present at the opening day of school and subsequent days as
necessary, to monitor the school traffic and identify any traffic problems/issues or potential traffic
problems/issues during times of school pick-up and drop-off. When problems/issues are identified, corrective
measures should be taken to address those problems/issues.
3. Should conditions warrant for orderly flow of traffic around the school, school agrees to hire, at no cost to the
City of Little Rock, off -duty police officers, as required, to execute the Traffic Control Plan at key, identified
locations around the school and adjacent to the school within the public right-of-way.
4. Prior to opening the school, all crosswalk markings, striping and other pavement markings within roadway and
at intersections adjacent to the school must be inspected and if faded or worn out, be restriped with new
Thermoplastic material.
5. Installation of school zone flashers and signage will be the responsibility of the school and must comply with
Arkansas Motor Vehicle and Traffic Laws and State Highway Commission regulations. Plans for flashers and
signage must be submitted to Public Works Traffic Engineering for prior review and approval.
A recommendation cannot be made at this time. As outlined above additional submtall and information is needed.
Thanks,
Vince Floriani, P.E.
