The proposed development includes one warehouse/distribution building totaling approximately 1,500,130 square feet. The proposed development would support an existing manufacturing facility located approximately one and one- half miles to the east, on the north side of 143rd Street between Coil Plus Drive and Van Dyke Road. Truck access to the site is proposed via two driveways along 143rd Street, including one inbound access driveway (Access A) and one outbound access driveway (Access D). Passenger vehicle access would be provided via two full-access driveways (Access B and Access C) to 143rd Street. As part of this traffic impact study, existing and future traffic conditions were evaluated for the intersections of 143rd Street/Lincoln Highway/Wallin Drive, 143rd Street/Meadow Lane, 143rd Street/Steiner Road, IL 126/Steiner Road, IL 126/Ridge Road and Ridge Road/Johnson Road. Future traffic conditions were also evaluated for the proposed site access driveways. Planned area roadway and traffic control improvements were considered in the evaluation of future traffic conditions. 143rd Street is planned to be extended from west of Steiner Road to Ridge Road at Johnson Road. Additionally, a traffic signal is planned at the intersection of 143rd Street/Meadow Lane. Based on a review of future traffic conditions, it is anticipated that background traffic growth and site- generated traffic would be accommodated at the study intersections. The intersections are expected to operate similar to existing conditions under the future scenario. At the future intersection of Ridge Road/Johnson Road/143rd Street, a dedicated right-turn lane is recommended on the south leg and dedicated left-turn lanes are recommended on both the north and south legs. On the south leg, a 265-foot storage lane with a 265-foot taper is recommended for the left- and right-turn lanes. On the north leg, a 265-foot storage lane with a 265-foot taper is recommended for the left-turn lane. The access driveways are expected to operate with acceptable delay and limited 95th percentile queues. At Access B and Access C, a single inbound lane and two outbound lanes are recommended. Two outbound lanes are also recommended for Access D. Minor-leg stop-control is recommended for Access B, Access C and Access D. Access A would be an inbound-only driveway; and therefore, does not require minor-leg stop-control. The center median on 143rd Street between Access A and Access D is recommended to be restriped as a continuous two-way left-turn lane. Additional details related to the improvements identified above are provided in the Recommendations & Conclusion section of this report. Industrial Development – Plainfield, Illinois Page 2 August 2018 1. INTRODUCTION Kimley-Horn was retained by Seefried Properties to perform a traffic impact study for an industrial warehouse development proposed on the north side of 143rd Street west of Steiner Road in Plainfield, Illinois. The site is currently undeveloped agricultural land and is adjacent to an existing commercial site. The proposed development plan includes one warehouse/distribution building, totaling 1,500,130 square feet. Truck access to the site is proposed via two driveways along 143rd Street, including an inbound driveway (Access A) and an outbound driveway (Access D). Passenger vehicle access would be provided via two full-access driveways (Access B and Access C) to 143rd Street. An aerial view of the study location and the surrounding roadway network is presented in Exhibit 1. As a part of this study, the existing network was analyzed to determine current operation at the study intersections. Trip generation characteristics were then established for the proposed development. These trips were added to existing and future background traffic volumes to evaluate the impact of the proposed development on area study intersections under the design horizon. Future traffic conditions were evaluated for a Year 2024 design horizon (build-plus-five conditions). This report presents and documents Kimley-Horn’s data collection, summarizes the evaluation of traffic conditions on the surrounding roadways, and identifies recommendations to address the potential impact of site-generated traffic on the adjacent roadway network.

EXISTING CONDITIONS Kimley-Horn conducted a field visit to collect relevant information pertaining to existing land uses in the surrounding area, the adjacent street system, current traffic volumes and operating conditions, lane configurations and traffic controls at nearby intersections, and other key roadway characteristics. The findings of this field investigation are detailed as follows. 2.1. Area Connectivity & Land Uses The subject site is currently undeveloped agricultural land. The area immediately surrounding the property is primarily agricultural in nature. The site located on the northwest quadrant of 143rd Street/Steiner Road is currently developed with a landscape maintenance facility. East of the subject site, the north and south sides of 143rd Street are developed with single-family residential uses. Institutional, commercial, and industrial uses are located further east near the intersection of 143rd Street/Lincoln Highway/Wallin Drive. The frontage along Ridge Road is largely undeveloped agricultural land. Two major arterials are within the vicinity of the subject site. IL 126, located south of the property, provides access to Interstate 55 (I-55) approximately four miles to the east. Access to Interstate 80 (I-80) is provided via Ridge Road about ten miles south of the subject site. 2.2. Existing Roadway Characteristics A field investigation was conducted within the study area. As a result of this visit, the following information was obtained about the existing roadway network. 143rd Street is an east-west roadway which would extend across the southern boundary of the subject property under the future condition. Currently, 143rd Street terminates at the southeast corner of the subject property. East of its intersection with Lincoln Highway/Wallin Drive, 143rd Street is designated a U.S. Highway (US 30). Throughout the study area, 143rd Street generally provides one travel lane per direction with a striped center median. Near its intersection with Steiner Road, a landscape center median is provided on 143rd Street. Dedicated left-turn lanes are provided at key intersections along the corridor. At its signalized intersection with Lincoln Highway/Wallin Drive, 143rd Street provides a dedicated left-turn lane and a shared through/right-turn lane on both legs. At its unsignalized intersection with Meadow Lane, 143rd Street provides a dedicated left-turn lane and a shared through/right-turn lane on both legs. Crosswalks are provided on both legs of 143rd Street at Meadow Lane. At its unsignalized intersection with Steiner Road, 143rd Street provides a dedicated left-turn lane and a shared through/right-turn lane on the east leg; the west leg provides a single shared lane. The posted speed limit on 143rd Street is 45 miles per hour (MPH). West of Steiner Road, a 25 MPH speed limit was assumed for the analysis of existing conditions. Classified by the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) as a Major Collector, 143rd Street is under the jurisdiction of the Village of Plainfield west of Lincoln Highway and under IDOT jurisdiction east of Lincoln Highway. Industrial Development – Plainfield, Illinois Page 5 August 2018 The Village of Plainfield’s Comprehensive Plan Update identifies the 143rd Street corridor as a significant east-west connector roadway with extensions on both the east and west ends. The alignment is ultimately intended to be redesignated as Illinois Route 126 and accommodate regional car and truck volume that would otherwise travel through the downtown area. Steiner Road is a north-south roadway which extends south of 143rd Street. Steiner Road provides one travel lane in each direction and a landscape center median through the study area. At its unsignalized intersection with 143rd Street, separate left- and right-turn lanes are provided on the south leg. The north leg is a private gravel driveway with a single shared lane. During field investigations, a stop-sign was not present at this approach but is assumed for this analysis. At its signalized intersection with IL 126, a dedicated left-turn lane, one through lane, and a dedicated right- turn lane are provided on the north and south legs.
