Existing Area Road Network and Conditions
The proposed subdivision will have one (1) street intersecting with Randol

will be built to City street standards.
Currently, Randol Mill Avenue is a 2-lane, undivided roadway. The capacity
of the existing roadway is approximately 8,400 vehicle trips per day. Under
this condition, the roadway would be considered to operate under a level of
service ‘D’. Completion of this development will add approximately 38
vehicle trips per day to this section of N. White Chapel Boulevard, bringing
it to 4,836 vehicle trips per day. There are no plans for expanding Randol
Mill Avenue adjacent to this site.
