10. CALVIN, GIORDANO & ASSOCIATES – PROJECT APPROACH
EXISTING LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS)
Palmetto Park Rd & NE/SE 5th Ave. *
AM Peak Hour (7:30 AM)- LOS B (19 Seconds of Delay)
63 Observed Pedestrians at Intersection
PM Peak Hour (4:30 PM)- LOS C (22 Seconds of Delay)
29 Observed Pedestrians at intersection
Palmetto Park Rd & NE/SE Mizner Blvd. *
AM Peak Hour (7:30 AM)- LOS C (26 Seconds of Delay)

11. CALVIN, GIORDANO & ASSOCIATES – PROJECT APPROACH
ONE CONTEXT SENSITIVE/LIVABILITY ALTERNATIVE/EXAMPLE
Palmetto Park Rd & NE/SE 5th Ave. *
Addition of a Single Lane Roundabout
AM Peak Hour (7:30 AM)- LOS B (12 Seconds of Delay)
Intersection V/C = 0.49
PM Peak Hour (4:30 PM)- LOS C (18 Seconds of Delay)
Intersection V/C = 0.61
Based on the existing high level of pedestrians observed during the peak hours, specific pedestrian crossing infrastructure would need to be evaluated. These pedestrian volumes would most likely increase due to the new adjacent development.
