1.0 INTRODUCTION

This Traffic Impact Study has been prepared to evaluate the transportation impacts associated with the proposed redevelopment of 735 Newburyport Turnpike in Melrose, MA and 320 State Highway in Malden, MA herein referred to as 735 Broadway. The proposed development consists of an approximate 94,000 sq. ft to be used as a warehouse/distribution facility with approximately 107 parking spaces, 26 loading dock spaces and one drive-thru loading ramp. To provide for flexibility in the plan development process, the study has evaluated the impacts of the project in the context of a 100,000 sq. ft facility. The project site is located on the east side of Broadway (SR 99) at the Malden/Melrose municipal boundary. The site location is illustrated on Figure 1. The site plan is provided in Appendix A.

Figure 1: Project Site Location

The site is bound by Route 1 to the east and Broadway to the west. Currently, the site has no defined driveway on Broadway with approximately 250 feet of open frontage and no sidewalks. On Route 1, the site has a driveway that is approximately 50 feet wide. In the future, access to the site will be provided by three site driveways as shown in the Site Plan (see Appendix A):
