MEMORANDUM DATE March 1, 2012 TO Town of Milton FROM Mark Abbott, Seth Asante, and Efi Pagitsas Boston Region MPO Staff RE FFY 2011 Safety and Operations Analyses at Selected Boston Region MPO Intersections: Neponset Valley Parkway at Brush Hill Road and Milton Street in Milton INTRODUCTION This memorandum summarizes safety and operations analyses and proposes improvement strategies for the intersections of Neponset Valley Parkway at Brush Hill Road and Neponset Valley Parkway at Milton Street in Milton. It contains the following sections: Intersection Layout and Traffic Control Issues and Concerns Crash Data Analysis Intersection Capacity Analysis Preliminary Analysis of Traffic Signal Warrants Analysis of Traffic Signal Alternative Review of Roundabout Alternative Improvement Recommendations and Discussion The memorandum also includes a collection of technical appendices that contain methods and data applied in the study and detailed reports of the intersection capacity analyses. INTERSECTION LAYOUT AND TRAFFIC CONTROL The two intersections, shown in Figure 1, are owned by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. They are located in the western portion of Milton, near the Hyde Park section of Boston. Neponset Valley Parkway, the major street of the two intersections, is a two-lane roadway running in the northwest-southeast direction between Blue Hill Avenue (Route 138) and Truman Parkway; it is categorized as an urban principal arterial. Brush Hill Road in Milton is a townowned roadway, classified as an urban collector. It runs north-south in direction, north from Blue Hill Avenue (Route 138) south of the intersections, continuing Town of Milton 2 March 1, 2012 past Milton Street, to Truman Parkway. Milton Street is an east-west street that also runs from Blue Hill Avenue, east of the intersections, to Neponset Valley Parkway. It is also town-owned and is an urban collector. Figure 1 shows the intersection layouts and the area nearby. Traffic operation at the Brush Hill Road and Neponset Valley Parkway intersection is under stop-control, with a stop sign located on the Brush Hill Road approach. Both of the Neponset Valley Parkway approaches are uncontrolled. All of the approaches are one lane that is shared by all movements. The traffic operations at the Neponset Valley Parkway and Milton Street intersection is under yield control, with a yield sign located on the northbound Neponset Valley Parkway approach. The land use in the vicinity of the intersections is mainly residential and public open space. Milton Health care, a nursing home and rehabilitation hospital, is located on Brush Hill Road, south of the Neponset Valley Parkway intersection. The two intersections are located within about 400 feet of each other. Both intersections are skewed, and a sharp roadway curve is located between them. This limits the sight distance between the intersections and sometimes causes driver confusion. There are currently no paved sidewalks along either Brush Hill Road or Neponset Valley Parkway. However, there is a pedestrian path located adjacent to Neponset Valley Parkway on the eastern side of the roadway. This pathway leads to the parking area located adjacent to the Brush Hill Road intersection. In addition to the path along Neponset Valley Parkway, there are numerous recreational trails in the area. The parking area is provided to allow access to these trails. ISSUES AND CONCERNS Staff met with Milton officials to discuss their concerns about the intersections. Their main concern was the lack of safety at the Brush Hill Road intersection. Numerous crashes have occurred at both intersections, with a majority occurring at the Brush Hill Road intersection. Another concern is the problem of a number of large trucks encroaching into the opposite lane (oncoming traffic) at this intersection. A review of the recent crash data indicates that the Brush Hill Road intersection has a high number of crashes and a crash rate higher than the average for unsignalized intersections in MassDOT Highway Division District 6 (see the next section for further analyses). The issues and concerns for this intersection can be summarized as follows: Skewed approaches of the intersections High number of crashes and high crash rate Truck traffic encroaching into the lane of oncoming traffic BOSTON REGION MPO Safety and Operations FIGURE 1 Improvements at Neponset Valley Parkway/Brush Hill Road/ Selected Intersections Milton Street, Milton Town of Milton 4 March 1, 2012 CRASH DATA ANALYSIS Staff collected crash data for the most recent three years available from the MassDOT Registry of Motor Vehicles Division, from 2006 to 2008. Some additional crash reports were available for both intersections. The crash report data were used to develop a crash diagram for both intersections. This crash diagram is shown in Figure 2, and shows that there is a significant number of angle crashes at the Brush Hill Road intersection. Table 1 show that on average eight crashes occurred at the Brush Hill Road intersection each year. In total, about 30 percent of the crashes resulted in personal injuries and the rest were property damage only. The collision types consist predominantly of angle collisions and singlevehicle collisions. There were no crashes that involved pedestrians or cyclists in that period.

There were no predominant collision types. There were no crashes involving pedestrians or cyclists during that period. 1 1 1 1 1 2 8 1 1 4 Note: X - Number of collision diagram crashes X - Number of MassDOT crashes SYMBOLS Moving Vehicle TYPES OF CRASH SEVERITY Head On Backing Vehicle Non-Involved Vehicle Pedestrian Angle Turning Move Injury Accident Parked Vehicle Fixed Object Bicycle Animal BOSTON REGION MPO Rear End Sideswipe Fatal Accident Out of Control FIGURE 2 Collision Diagram Safety and Operations Improvements at Selected Intersections Town of Milton 6 March 1, 2012 TABLE 2 Summary of MassDOT Crash Data (2006–2008): Neponset Valley Parkway at Brush Hill Road/Milton Street Total Number of Crashes Property Damage Only Personal Injury Crash Severity Fatality Not Reported Angle Rear-end Sideswipe Collision Type Head-on Single Vehicle Not Reported Wet or icy pavement Roadway Conditions Dark/lighted Clear Cloudy Weather Conditions Rain Snow Crashes during weekday peak periods* Crashes involving pedestrian(s) Crashes involving bicyclist(s) 2006 4 2007 1 2008 1 3 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 2 2 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 2006-2008 Total Average 6 2 5 1 0 0 2 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 4 2 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 * Peak periods are defined as 7:00–10:00 AM and 3:30–6:30 PM. Crash rate is another effective tool for examining the relative safety of a particular location.1Based on the 2006–2008 crash data and the recently collected traffic volume data, the crash rate for the Brush Hill Road intersection is calculated as 1.84, and for the Milton Street intersection the crash rate is 0.36 (see Appendix B for MassDOT intersection crash rate worksheets). The crash rate at the Brush Hill Road intersection is over three times higher than the average rate for the unsignalized intersections in MassDOT Highway Division District 6, which is estimated to be 0.57 crashes per million entering vehicles.2 1 2 Crash rates are estimated based on crash frequency (crashes per year) and vehicle exposure (traffic volumes or miles traveled). Crash rates are expressed as “crashes per million entering vehicles” for intersection locations and as “crashes per million miles traveled” for roadway segments. The average crash rates estimated by the MassDOT Highway Division (as of July 7, 2011) are based upon a database that contains intersection crash rates submitted to MassDOT as part of the review process for an Environmental Impact Report or Functional Design Report. The most recent average crash rates, which are updated on a nearly annual basis, are based on all entries in the database, not just those entries made within the past year. Town of Milton 7 March 1, 2012 INTERSECTION CAPACITY ANALYSIS MPO staff collected turning-movement counts at the intersection on June 7, 2011. The data were recorded in 15-minute intervals for the peak traffic periods in the morning, from 7:00 to 9:00 AM, and in the evening, from 4:00 to 6:00 PM. The Brush Hill Road intersection had peak hours, which occurred between 7:00 and 8:00 AM and between 5:00 and 6:00 PM. There was observed pedestrian activity during both peak hours at this intersection—7 pedestrians and 16 pedestrians were observed during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively. The Milton Street intersection had peak hours between 7:30 and 8:30 AM and between 5:00 and 6:00 PM. There were 31 and 11 pedestrians observed during the AM and PM peak hours, respectively. The peak hour traffic volumes are shown in Figure 3. Based on the turning-movement counts and the signal timings measured on the site, the intersection capacity was analyzed by using an intersection capacity analysis program, Synchro.3 The intersections were both modeled as unsignalized intersections, with stop control at the Brush Hill Road intersection and yield control at the Milton Street intersection. Tables 3 and 4 shows the AM and PM peak hour analyses, respectively, for the existing conditions and the two alternatives provided.

The two alternatives, described below, share common features. Alternative 1: Realignment of the Brush Hill Road and Milton Street Intersections Alternative 1 contains modifications to both the Brush Hill Road and Milton Street intersections, as shown in Figure 4. The intersection of Brush Hill Road and Neponset Valley Parkway is realigned to a traditional “T” intersection. The intersection is moved approximately 150 feet south of its current location. A Neponset Valley Parkway southbound right-turn lane is added to accommodate the right turns onto Brush Hill Road. A stop sign is provided on the realigned eastbound Brush Hill Road approach. Access to the existing parking area for the recreational trails is now provided via a new driveway, which uses the abandoned Brush Hill Road segment. This eliminates the problem of vehicles turning into the parking area from the roadway curve. The addition of crosswalks across Neponset Valley Parkway and Brush Hill Road are included in this alternative. The intersection at Neponset Valley Parkway and Milton Street is also realigned to provide for increased sight distance for entering Milton Street drivers. A left-turn lane is provided for the Neponset Valley Parkway left-turns onto Milton Street. The intersection is stop-sign controlled, with the stop sign being placed onto the Milton Street approach. This creates improved traffic flow through the intersection based on existing traffic volumes. The existing segment of Brush Legend Pedestrian Crosswalk BOSTON REGION MPO FIGURE 4 Alternative 1: Realignment of Brush Hill Road and Milton Street Safety and Operations Improvements at Selected Intersections Town of Milton 11 March 1, 2012 Hill Road between Neponset Valley Parkway and Milton Street is one-way northbound. An estimate of the construction cost is approximately $1,000,000 to $1,250,000. Alternative 2: Roundabout at Milton Street and Realignment of Brush Hill Road Alternative 2, the roundabout alternative, is shown in Figure 5. While the Brush Hill Road intersection is the same as in Alternative 1, this alternative provides a roundabout at the Milton Street intersection in place of the existing “T” intersection. This is a single-lane roundabout that would fit into the existing area between Neponset Valley Parkway, Milton Street, and Brush Hill Road. As shown, it has an inscribed circle with a diameter of 130 feet, and is designed to accommodate large trucks. An estimate of the construction cost for this alternative is approximately $1,000,000 to $1,500,000. Conceptual Plan for Neponset Valley Parkway at Brush Hill Road The Town of Milton provided a conceptual plan for this intersection (see Appendix E). The conceptual plan of the intersection includes constructing a large delta island separating the approach and departure lanes of Brush Hill Road, and maintaining the southbound movement of Neponset Valley Parkway to Brush Hill Road on the existing roadway. This plan would either eliminate the northbound Neponset Valley Parkway left turns to Brush Hill Road or maintain the left turns onto Brush Hill Road at the existing problem location, on a sharp curve. In addition, the Brush Hill Road northbound left turn onto Neponset Valley Parkway would still be located near its current location, on a curve, which could limit sight distance for both southbound Neponset Valley Parkway traffic and Brush Hill Road left-turning vehicles. IMPROVEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS The above safety and operations analyses indicate that either of the two alternatives would improve the safety operations, as well as the traffic operations, at both intersections. Both of the alternatives are longer-term projects. However, in either alternative, the Brush Hill Road and Milton Street intersections could be designed and constructed separately. Completing either alternative or intersection does not preclude the eventual construction of the other. Due to the existing geometry at the Brush Hill Road intersection, there are no short-term improvements that can be recommended. At the Milton Street intersection, consideration should be given to removing the existing yield sign on Neponset Valley Parkway northbound and placing a stop sign on the Milton Street approach. Based on the traffic volumes, traffic flow through the intersection would be improved. In addition to the signing changes, Neponset Valley Parkway southbound at the Milton Street intersection should be restriped to two-lanes: one exclusive leftturn lane and one through lane. The estimated cost is approximately $5,000.

The text below borrows heavily from that document. 1 NEEDS IDENTIFICATION For each of the locations at which an improvement is to be implemented, the MassDOT Highway Division leads an effort to define the problem, establishes project goals and objectives, and defines the scope of the planning needed for implementation. To that end, it has to complete a Project Need Form (PNF), which states in general terms the deficiencies or needs related to the transportation facility or location. The PNF documents the problems and explains why corrective action is needed. For this study, the information defining the need for the project will be drawn primarily, perhaps exclusively, from the present report. Also, at this point in the process, the MassDOT Highway Division meets with potential participants, such as the Boston Region Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and community members, to allow for an informal review of the project. The PNF is reviewed by the MassDOT Highway Division district office whose jurisdiction includes the location of the proposed project. The MassDOT Highway Division also sends the PNF to the MPO, for informational purposes. The outcome of this step determines whether the project requires further planning, whether it is already well supported by prior planning studies, and, therefore, whether it is ready to move forward into the design phase, or whether it should be dismissed from further consideration. 2 PLANNING This phase will likely not be required for the implementation of the improvements proposed in this planning study, as this planning report should constitute the outcome of this step. However, in general, the purpose of this implementation step is for the project proponent to identify issues, impacts, and approvals that may need to be obtained, so that the subsequent design and permitting processes are understood. The level of planning needed will vary widely, based on the complexity of the project. Typical tasks include: define the existing context, confirm project need, establish goals and objectives, initiate public outreach, define the project, collect data, develop and analyze alternatives, make recommendations, and provide documentation. Likely outcomes include consensus on the project definition to enable it to move forward into environmental documentation (if needed) and design, or a recommendation to delay the project or dismiss it from further consideration. 3 PROJECT INITIATION At this point in the process, the proponent, the MassDOT Highway Division, fills out, for each improvement, a Project Initiation Form (PIF), which is reviewed by its Project Review Committee (PRC) and the MPO. The PRC is composed of the Chief Engineer, each District Highway Director, and representatives of the Project Management, Environmental, Planning, Right-of-Way, Traffic, and Bridge departments, and the Capital Expenditure Program Office (CEPO). The PIF documents the project type and description, summarizes the project planning process, identifies likely funding and project management responsibility, and defines a plan for interagency and public participation. First the PRC reviews and evaluates the proposed project based on MassDOT’s statewide priorities and criteria. If the result is positive, the MassDOT Highway Division moves the project forward to the design phase, and to programming review by the MPO. The PRC may provide a Project Management Plan to define roles and responsibilities for subsequent steps. The MPO review includes project evaluation based on the MPO’s regional priorities and criteria. The MPO may assign a project evaluation criteria score, a Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) year, a tentative project category, and a tentative funding category. 4 ENVIRONMENTAL, DESIGN, AND RIGHT-OF-WAY PROCESS This step has four distinct but closely integrated elements: public outreach, environmental documentation and permitting (if required), design, and right-of-way acquisition (if required). The outcome of this step is a fully designed and permitted project ready for construction. However, a project does not have to be fully designed in order for the MPO to program it in the TIP. 5 PROGRAMMING Programming, which typically begins during the design phase, can actually occur at any time during the process, from planning to design. In this step, which is distinct from project initiation, where the MPO receives preliminary information on the proposed project, the proponent requests that the MPO place the project in the region’s TIP. The MPO considers the project in terms of regional needs, evaluation criteria, and compliance with the Long-Range Transportation Plan and decides whether to place it in the draft TIP for public review and then in the final TIP. 6 PROCUREMENT Following project design and programming, the MassDOT Highway Division publishes a request for proposals. It then reviews the bids and awards the contract to the qualified bidder with the lowest bid. 7 CONSTRUCTION After a construction contract is awarded, the MassDOT Highway Division and the contractor develop a public participation plan and a management plan for the construction process. 8 PROJECT ASSESSMENT The purpose of this step is to receive constituents’ comments on the project development process and the project’s design elements. The MassDOT Highway Division can apply what is learned in this process to future projects. APPENDIX E Town of Milton’s Conceptual Plan for: Neponset Valley Parkway at Brush Hill Road
