The accompanying graph places the benchmark level for each element at zero. Better than 30% Benchmark 20% 10% 0% -10% Worse than -20% Benchmark -30% Gearing Yield Tax Inter es t Mar gin MER Effectiveness Level 3 North Tower, 333 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000 www.miaresearch.com Telephone: +61 3 9629 5777 Facsimile: +61 3 9629 5744 Page 2 Centro MCS 36 Benchmarked (cont’d) The extent to which elements of this Syndicate offer vary from the benchmark is expressed as a percentage. The gearing level of 60% is higher than the benchmark average. The Syndicate’s forecast first year yield of 8.25% is similar to the benchmark but significantly higher than retail property yields currently prevailing in Australia. The tax advantaged income received by investors in the Syndicate is slightly higher than the benchmark average. The interest rate margin is lower than the benchmark average. The MER is slightly lower than the benchmark average assisted by economies of scale due to the size of the Syndicate. Centro MCS 36 – International No. 4 Strengths: Centro MCS 36 Syndicate (‘Syndicate’) provides investors with an exposure to a large geographically diversified portfolio of retail properties based in high density residential areas on the east coast of the United States. Key features of the Syndicate include a clever if complex investment structure, an equity hedge of 100% of initial investment in the US REIT and forecast distributions from the Product Rating 68 US REIT until 2011, an interest rate hedge averaging over five years ‘Attractive’ and a property portfolio with a high weighting towards non‐ discretionary retailers. This contributes to our rating of the Syndicate as an ‘Attractive’ product. Issues to be addressed: This is not a ‘set and forget’ retail property portfolio and will require intensive management during the Syndicate term. This issue is of particular relevance to the supermarket tenants that require expansion space. The success of the Syndicate hinges on the Centro Watt property management team, particularly the leasing department, taking an active asset management approach to maintaining and enhancing portfolio performance. Centro MCS Manager Limited Strengths: Centro MCS Manager Limited (‘Centro MCS’) is an established manager of Australian based retail property which has integrated what appears to be a strong management team in the United States through the joint venture with Watt Commercial, and the acquisition of the Kramont Real Estate Investment Trust. In rating Centro MCS we have taken into account the asset management Management Rating 81 capabilities of the United States East Coast management team based ‘Superior’ on our meetings with key executives and leasing officers. On this basis we rate Centro MCS as a ‘Superior’ manager in relation to its ability to manage the Syndicate. Issues to be addressed: Although the Australian based funds management team have ultimate responsibility for the success of the Syndicate, the main focus is on the involvement of the Centro executives on a day to day basis with respect to the management of the property management and leasing process that will determine the performance of the portfolio. The move to deploy Australian based executives into the United States based management team is an attempt to ensure the greatest possible integration of business cultures. Potential issues are likely to arise from a breakdown in communication between the ‘on site’ management team and the Melbourne head office. Level 3 North Tower, 333 Collins Street, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000 www.miaresearch.com Telephone: +61 3 9629 5777 Facsimile: +61 3 9629 5744 Page 3 Centro MCS 36 – International No. 4 Overview Centro MCS 36 has invested in 30 properties in eight states that formed part of the New York Stock Exchange listed Kramont REIT, purchased predominantly by the Centro (98.5%) and Watt Commercial (1.5%) in early 2005. The previously listed REIT comprised of 93 properties located across the east coast of the United States. Centro MCS 36 is the third syndicate launched by this group based on ‘The third US based Centro a portfolio of United States shopping centres. The syndicate is the syndicate’ largest to be launched in Australia with total capital of $A426.5 million to be raised. The equity to be raised via this offer is A$195 million. We have been informed by Centro that due to a lack of access to retail property in Australia due to tightening property yields and strong investor demand it is becoming progressively more difficult to launch syndicates with Australian based retail property assets. Centro believes that United States based retail property is currently attractive based on the diversification and higher returns that can be delivered to investors. The Syndicate will purchase interests in the assets through the acquisition of units in the existing ownership entities rather than a straight forward property acquisition which will ultimately be owned ‘Indirect holding in underlying by the US REIT. A 97% share of all the properties in the REIT will properties’ effectively be owned by Centro MCS 36 Syndicate. Investors are referred to the Product Disclosure Statement for further information as well as the Investment Structure section of this report. As part of our assessment of the Fund, executives from MIA visited the offices of Centro Properties Group Limited on four separate occasions including: • Wednesday 1st June between 3pm and 5:00pm; th • Thursday 7 July between 11am and 2pm; • Wednesday 27th July between 10am and 12pm; and • Wednesday 31st August between 11am and 12pm.

  • Analysis and Modeling of Cape May County Roadway Elevations and Evacuation Routes NJDOT Research Report No: FHWA-NJ-2005-022
    “TURNING PROBLEMS INTO SOLUTIONS” ANALYSIS AND MODELING OF CAPE MAY Need a solution? COUNTY ROADWAY ELEVATIONS AND Think Jersey DOT EVACUATION ROUTES FHWA-NJ-2005-022 May 2006 SUMMARY This study determined the evacuation times under varying population, hurricane level, and NJ Routes 47/347 reversal lane operation scenarios for Cape May County, New Jersey. Roadway elevations throughout NJ Routes 47/347 corridor study area were established via a GPS survey to verify whether the roadways are usable in the event of a hurricane. Results of the study show that the current NJ State Police reversal plan is ineffective and needs to be revised as the bottleneck during evacuation would exist south of NJ Route 83, the initiation point of the current reversal plan. INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND Disaster response, to both manmade and natural catastrophes, in the areas of high population density, is centered on evacuating people quickly and efficiently. Being the most densely populated state in the country, New Jersey faces considerable challenges in effectively coordinating and responding to emergencies. In this project, a microscopic traffic simulation based model was developed to evaluate the effectiveness of the existing State Police “Routes 47/347 Reverse Lane Plan” for Cape May County. This contraflow strategy, also known as lane reversal, was modeled to maximize roadway capacity for the existing network on Routes 47/347. This study determined the evacuation time estimates for various scenarios considering different levels of traffic operations, seasonal area population, hurricane intensity, and behavior response. The behavioral response curves, also called the S-curve models, were applied in this study to approximate behavior responses and to temporally load demand onto the network.

    Disaster Recovery Reform Act Section 1209 (Contraflow Provision) State of the Practice in Selected Locations Federal Highway Administration Office of Operations June 2021 FOREWORD The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Operations (HOP) has satisfied the evaluation of contraflow operations requirement mandated by Section 1209(b)(2)(B) of the Disaster Recovery Reform Act (Pub. Law 115-254) through a process that resulted in the documentation of the state of practice of contraflow applications. The FHWA conducted a review of available contraflow plans, then interviewed State transportation officials and State public safety, emergency management, and homeland security officials who were determined to be current or former practitioners of contraflow operations. The FHWA also worked closely with staff from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to ensure that pertinent agencies sufficiently coordinated, per legislative mandate. This guidance document summarizes the literature and plan review and stakeholder interview findings and, per the applicable requirement, will serve as a State, local, tribal, and territorial governments state of practice summary.

  • Transportation
    Chapter 4: Transportation 4-1 INTRODUCTION This chapter evaluates the potential benefits and impacts of the Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project on transportation. The analysis addresses regional transportation issues, local highway traffic operations, and accident history. This chapter also describes the new mobility options for pedestrians and cyclists as well as the project’s potential impacts on transit service and marine transport. Interstate 87/287, including the Tappan Zee Bridge, is prone to frequent and heavy congestion. The Replacement Bridge Alternative would not generate additional traffic volumes across the Tappan Zee crossing as compared to the No Build Alternative (see Appendix B). The capacity of the bridge is controlled by several factors, including a reduction in the number of travel lanes west of Interchange 11, and weaving maneuvers at interchanges in Rockland and Westchester Counties. While it would not address the capacity constraints along the Interstate 87/287 corridor, the Replacement Bridge Alternative would implement six important improvements at the Tappan Zee Hudson River crossing: The eight-lane configuration of the Replacement Bridge Alternative would be sufficient to meet the projected increase in traffic volumes on the bridge without the need for a reversible lane; The Replacement Bridge Alternative would include 12-foot lanes and left and right shoulders, which would improve safety conditions and reduce the delays associated with traffic incidents and accidents; The Replacement Bridge Alternative

You never allowed us to drift off course, and we know that presented quite a challenge at times. Please accept this letter as our commitment that Greenwich Township will remain dedicated to this effort. We are very enthusiastic about the opportunities ahead. As we move into the funding and implementation phases of the plan which we have developed together, Greenwich intends to remain engaged. We place a very high value on the enlarged sense of community which this cooperative effort has fostered. We’ll continue to work with our neighboring municipalities to preserve and strengthen
