Some Facts About a Costco in New Baltimore!

• The Costco/Cross Creek development will generate
  over 23,200 average daily trips on a Saturday and
  over 19,000 average vehicle trips on the weekdays
• The other developments surrounding the site that
  are currently known and considered in the
  analysis will generate an additional 33,180
  average daily trips on a Saturday and over 40,000
  average daily trips on a weekday
• The Costco/Cross Creek development is only 39
  acres of over 200 acres of land bordered by Rt.
  29/15 (Lee Hwy) and Routes 600 (Broad Run Church
  Rd) and 676 (Riley Rd) that are zoned for
  commercial development
• Access to the development is through Cross Creek
  Drive, which will connect Routes 29/15 and 600.
  Cross Creek Drive is projected to carry over
  21,000 vehicles per day. Both access points to
  Cross Creek Drive from Routes 29/15 and 600 will
  be blocked during peak hours of traffic
• The development is required to maintain a level
  of service of C, but Cross Creeks own report
  shows that it does not meet that standard
• The development generated trips will increase the
  average daily traffic on Kelly Rd. by 99, Route
  600 east of Cross Creek by 76, and Riley Rd. by
  41
• The existing northbound traffic on Route 29 at
  the intersection of Route 600 at AM peak hours is
  above capacity, operating at a level of service
  of F. Southbound traffic on Rt. 29 at the
  intersection of Route 600 at PM peak hours is
  above capacity, operating at a level of service
  of F
• The existing eastbound traffic on 600 at the
  intersection of 29 at PM peak is above capacity,
  operating at a level of service of F
• After adding an additional 56,380 average daily
  trips on a Saturday and 59,015 average daily
  trips on a weekday to New Baltimore on roads that
  are currently operating at a level of service of
  F at peak hours, Angler Developments engineer
  concludes that (t)he traffic impacts associated
  with the proposed New Baltimore Costco
  development are acceptable and manageable. (TIA,
