1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Traffic Engineering Data Solutions, Inc. (TEDS) was retained on behalf of the River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) to provide a Qualitative Assessment on Dunlawton Avenue from Peninsula Drive to State Road A1A, and on State Road A1A from Dunlawton Avenue to the northern City limits of Daytona Beach Shores in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida. Based on the pedestrian/bicycle crossing data, a review of crash history (18 bicycle/pedestrian crashes along entire corridor over a five-year period), feedback/input received at a meeting with representatives from the City of Daytona Beach Shores Police Department, field observations and coordination with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), 16 locations were evaluated for enhanced pedestrian/bicycle safety. Recommendations for each location are summarized in the table below: Location Location Number Location on State Road A1A Improvement Number Location on State Road A1A Improvement 1 70' North of Broad Ave. 2, 5 9 60' North of Florida Shores Blvd. 1 2 110' North of Simpson Ave. 1 10 300' North of Beachcomber St. 1 3 70' North of Esmeralda Ave. 1 11 410' North of Sea Spray St. 1 4 350' North of Atares Ave. 1* 12 180' North of Milton Rd. 1 5 Next to Public Safety Building 4 13 80' North of Minerva Rd. 1 6 Next to Publix 3 14 180' North of Lindley Rd. 1* 7 30' North of Bellemead Dr. 2, 5 15 80' South of Browning Ave. 1 8 180' South of Oceans W. Blvd. 2, 5 16 80' South of Frazar Rd. 1 Improvement: 1 - Add new midblock crosswalk with refuge island 2 - Modify pavement markings/signage at existing crosswalk and eliminate vegetation in refuge island 3 - Add Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon 4 - Maintain existing crosswalk 5 - Increase refuge island size * - additional costs anticipated due to drainage/manhole adjustments ($5,000 to $15,000)

The four traffic signals located along the study corridor at Peninsula Drive, South Atlantic Avenue, Moore Avenue and Botefuhr Avenue include crosswalks with pedestrian signal features. Based on the volumes, field review of the intersections, and crash history, no pedestrian-related improvements were recommended for the signalized intersections. A road diet, whereby State Road A1A would be reduced from a five-lane section down to a three-lane section, was identified as a potential long-term improvement that would further the balance of vehicular and pedestrian activity along the corridor. Based on the study, it is reasonable to conclude that the roadway would function acceptably with a three-lane section both today and in the future. However, should the consideration of a road diet be explored further, detailed analyses should be conducted at the signalized intersections to better understand the lane geometry needed at each location. Based on the road diet concept, the total cost of implementing the road diet across the entire study corridor is preliminarily estimated at 12.9 million dollars.

2 INTRODUCTION The City of Daytona Beach Shores is a beachfront community within Volusia County. Dunlawton Avenue and South Atlantic Avenue, both of which are classified as State Road A1A, serve as the transportation backbone within the City. While these two roadways carry a significant level of vehicular traffic, there is also a significant level of pedestrian/bicyclist traffic along these two roadways. Typical with most beachfront communities, the pedestrian/bicyclist traffic along these corridors is comprised of residents and guests traveling to/from the beach as well as those traveling to/from various commercial destinations. The City has made significant investments to improve the aesthetics and walkability of the South Atlantic Avenue corridor. However, there is growing concern regarding pedestrian safety throughout the community. In response to these concerns and the desire to create a more pedestrian-friendly community, the City recently reconstructed South Atlantic Avenue south of Dunlawton Avenue to provide for improved pedestrian facilities. The focus has now shifted to north of Dunlawton Avenue. Traffic Engineering Data Solutions, Inc. (TEDS) was retained on behalf of the River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) to conduct a pedestrian crossing study within the City of Daytona Beach Shores. This study focuses on Dunlawton Avenue from Peninsula Drive to State Road A1A and State Road A1A from Dunlawton Avenue to the northern City limits of Daytona Beach Shores. The study corridor is shown in Figure 1. The analysis methods used in completing this study are consistent with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), Manual on Uniform Traffic Studies (MUTS), Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District 5 guidelines / procedures, and engineering judgment. This report documents existing conditions, vehicle counts, pedestrian counts, crash analysis, qualitative assessment, and recommendations.

4|Page Existing Conditions on Study Corridor State Road A1A is an arterial that extends along the coastline of Volusia County. Within the study limits, State Road A1A includes an 800-foot section of Dunlawton Avenue from Peninsula Drive to South Atlantic Avenue. The study limits of State Road A1A then extend north along Atlantic Avenue to the northern City limits of Daytona Beach Shores (approximately 4.13 miles north of Dunlawton Avenue), for a total distance of approximately 4.29 miles. From Peninsula Drive to State Road A1A, Dunlawton Avenue is a four-lane divided urban section (curb and gutter). From Dunlawton Avenue to the northern City limits, State Road A1A is a five-lane urban section (curb and gutter) with a continuous two-way left-turn lane. The 2013 daily volume on State Road A1A ranged from 12,500 vehicles per day (vpd) to 12,800 vpd. The posted speed limit along the corridor is 35 miles per hour (mph). The majority of the land uses and development adjacent to the study corridor include hotels, motels, small restaurants, small retail shops, public service facilities and public recreational parks. Votran, Volusia County’s public transit provider, has numerous bus stops along State Road A1A, providing service to adjacent communities such as Port Orange, Daytona Beach, and Ponce Inlet as well as to other locations within the County. Four (4) traffic signals are located along the study corridor at Peninsula Drive, South Atlantic Avenue, Moore Avenue and Botefuhr Avenue. Each of these signals includes crosswalks with pedestrian signal features. Adjacent to the City of Daytona Beach Shores’ Public Safety Building is an emergency traffic signal which also doubles as a pedestrian signal. Also, within the study limits along State Road A1A are five (5) existing midblock pedestrian crosswalks, as summarized below: • • • • •

65 feet north of Broad Avenue (adjacent to ABC liquor store) Adjacent to the Daytona Beach Shores Public Safety Building (signalized) 500 feet south of Bellemead Drive (adjacent to Publix) 50 feet north of Bellemead Drive (adjacent to City of Daytona Beach Shores City Hall) 200 feet south of Oceans West Boulevard

Each of these midblock crosswalks includes a pedestrian refuge island. One of the primary pedestrian attractors with the study limits is the beach. As a result, there are numerous public beach access points on State Road A1A including 16 public beach access connections for pedestrians and bicyclists, as summarized below: • • • • • • • • •

100 feet north of White Cap Avenue 190 feet north of Ogden Boulevard At Larry Fornari, Sr., Park 50 feet north of Glen Myra Avenue 20 feet south of Atares Avenue 550 feet north of Atares Avenue Across from Bellemead Drive Across from Oceans West Boulevard Across from Ridge Road

11 | P a g e DATA COLLECTION Various sources of pedestrian, bicycle, and vehicular data were collected for this study including pedestrian, bicyclist, and vehicular counts which were collected on a typical summer weekend day. Twenty-four hour bi-directional (north/south) volume counts were conducted on State Road A1A approximately 200 feet north of Sea Spray Street and 800 feet north of Atares Avenue. These counts were conducted on a Saturday during the summer. At 200 feet north of Sea Spray Street on State Road A1A the daily volume was 17,100 vehicles. The peak-hour occurred from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. with an hourly volume of 1,309 vehicles. At 800 feet north of Atares Avenue, the daily volume was 16,400 while the peak-hour volume was 1,304 vehicles, occurring between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. Four (4) hours of manual turning movement counts (vehicles, pedestrians and bicycles) were collected from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on a Summer Saturday at the four (4) following intersections: • • • •

Dunlawton Avenue and Peninsula Drive State Road A1A and Dunlawton Avenue State Road A1A and Moore Avenue State Road A1A and Botefuhr Avenue

Four-hour pedestrian/bicycle counts, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., were also conducted on the weekend along State Road A1A from Dunlawton Avenue to the northern City limits. Vehicle Gap Size Studies were also conducted at two locations on State Road A1A from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This data is discussed in subsequent sections of this study. Turning movement count summaries, twenty-four hour bi-directional volume counts, gap study data sheets, a pedestrian/bicycle crossing location demand table, and pedestrian/bicycle count aerial diagrams can be found in Appendix A.

COLLISION ANALYSIS Pedestrian and bicyclist safety along the corridor was assessed through review of crash reports and field observations. Crash data for State Road A1A within the study limits was obtained from the University of Florida’s Signal Four Analytics for the five-year period between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013. Based on a review of the data, there were 18 bicyclist or pedestrian crashes reported along the study corridor as summarized below: • • • • • • • • •

•

The 18 crashes resulted in two (2) fatalities, 20 injuries, and $7,200 in estimated property damage. Eleven (11) crashes involved pedestrians while seven (7) crashes involved bicyclists. Ten (10) crashes reportedly occurred as a result of careless driving. Four (4) crashes reportedly occurred as a result of a pedestrian failing to yield the right of way to a vehicle. Two (2) crashes reportedly occurred as a result of a bicyclist failing to yield the right of way to a vehicle. Ten (10) crashes occurred during the day and the other eight (8) occurred at night All 18 of the crashes occurred under dry pavement conditions. The only noted concentration of pedestrian/bicyclist-related crashes was at the Dunlawton Avenue/Peninsula Drive intersection where there were five (5) crashes. A fatality occurred just north of Simpson Avenue when a northbound motorist struck a pedestrian travelling in an unknown direction in the outside lane of State Road A1A. The crash occurred at 6:24 P.M. on a Saturday on dry pavement. The pedestrian was not within a marked crosswalk. A fatality occurred at Atares Avenue when a motorist making an eastbound left struck two (2) westbound pedestrians, killing one (1) of the pedestrians. The crash occurred at 12:10 P.M. on a Saturday on dry pavement. The pedestrians were not within a marked crosswalk.

A collision diagram and collision summary are provided in Appendix B.

QUALATATIVE ASSESMENT Field observations were conducted during summer weekend conditions to evaluate pedestrian/bicyclist activity along the corridor. The following items were noted with regard to the overall corridor: • • •

• • •

•

Vehicles on State Road A1A are generally traveling at or slightly above (within 5 mph) of the posted speed limit of 35 mph. Along the corridor, motorists on State Road A1A (both northbound and southbound) have a clear line of sight of any pedestrians located on either side of State Road A1A. Throughout the study corridor, State Road A1A is a five-lane section with a two-way continuous left-turn lane. Walking across State Road A1A throughout the study corridor effectively requires a two-stage crossing by first crossing one direction of traffic and then waiting within the two-way continuous turn lane for a gap in the other direction of traffic before crossing the other direction of traffic. Pedestrians were observed carrying chairs, toys and beach equipment across the street. Additionally, families with children were also observed crossing State Road A1A. Pedestrians in close proximity to a mid-block crosswalk typically utilized the crosswalk. Many motorists did not stop for pedestrian within a midblock crosswalk, with the exception of the crosswalk located in front of the Publix as most motorists did stop at this location. It should be noted that the midblock crosswalk at Publix includes signage a pavement markings in accordance with current FDOT standards and does not have any vegetation within the refuge island. The pavement markings include stop lines on each direction of State Road A1A located approximately 40 feet from the crosswalk. No evasive maneuvers were identified with regard to potential vehicular-pedestrian or bicycle conflicts, however, numerous vehicles did apply brakes slowly when passing a pedestrian staged within the two-way left-turn lane.

3 MIDBLOCK PEDESTRIAN CROSSING EVALUATION Midblock pedestrian crosswalks are utilized for the purposes of enhancing pedestrian connectivity and providing for pedestrian crossings at predictable locations in an effort to promote pedestrian/bicycle safety. Based on the pedestrian/bicycle crossing data, feedback/input received at a meeting with representatives from the City of Daytona Beach Shores Police Department, field observations, and coordination with FDOT, 11 locations were identified for evaluating the need to provide enhanced pedestrian/bicycle safety. The locations are summarized below: • • • • • •

110 feet north of Simpson Avenue 70 feet north of Esmeralda Avenue 350 feet north of Atares Avenue 60 feet north of Florida Shores Blvd. 300 feet north of Beachcomber Street 410 feet north of Sea Spray Street

• • • • •

23 | P a g e Pedestrian Volumes Four (4) hours of pedestrian and bicycle counts, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., were conducted on a weekend day in the vicinity of the study location. As summarized below, over the four-hour count there were a total of six (6) pedestrians and zero (0) bicyclists that crossed State Road A1A. In addition to these peak hours, it is expected that this existing crosswalk experiences additional traffic during the evening hours.

When evaluating pedestrian safety along a corridor, it is important to understand the opportunities available for pedestrians to safely cross a roadway. For that reason, Vehicle Gap Size Studies were conducted in accordance with the procedures set forth in Chapter 8 of the Manual of Uniform Traffic Studies (MUTS) to determine the size and the number of gaps in vehicular traffic along State Road A1A. Vehicle Gap Size Studies were conducted at two (2) locations on State Road A1A: • •

380 feet north of Beachcomber Street 260 feet north of Cascade Terrace

These locations are representative of midblock locations in the southern and northern portions of the corridor as there is only on (1) fully operational traffic signal in the southern portion (Dunlawton Avenue) and two (2) traffic signals in the northern portion (Moore Avenue and Botefuhr Avenue). The southern portion of the corridor includes Dunlawton Avenue to Florida Shores Boulevard. The northern portion of the corridor includes Florida Shores Boulevard to Frazar Road. The two (2) gap studies were conducted on Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., when pedestrian activity was expected to be highest. Vehicle Gap Study data sheets can be found in Appendix A. The minimum gap suitable for a pedestrian to cross a roadway is calculated based on a walking speed of 3 feet per second using the formula below: G = (w/s) + t G = Minimum Gap w = width of the crosswalk s = walking speed, 3 feet per second t = startup time, usually 3 seconds Traffic Engineering Data Solutions, Inc.

Daytona Beach Shores Pedestrian Safety Study Daytona Beach Shores (Volusia County), Florida

24 | P a g e As conveyed in the Qualitative Assessment, many pedestrians currently cross State Road A1A utilizing a two-stage movement whereby they first cross one direction of traffic, stage in the twoway left-turn lane, and then cross the other direction of traffic. However, this movement is undesirable without any refuge island as pedestrians are effectively standing unprotected within a vehicular lane. Thus, when calculating the minimum gap suitable for crossing State Road A1A, the entire width of the roadway (60 feet) was utilized. The minimum acceptable gap for crossing State Road A1A is therefore 23 seconds. In the southern portion of the corridor, from Dunlawton Avenue to Ridge Road, there were nine (9) gaps within a four-hour period above or equal to 23 seconds. In the northern portion of the corridor, from Richards Lane to Frazar Road, there were seven (7) gaps above or equal to 23 seconds over the four-hour count period. The pedestrian/bicyclist capacities and the number of adequate gaps are shown in Table 2: Table 2 Summary of Vehicle Gap Size Studies State Road A1A

The results of a Vehicle Gap Size Study are typically utilized to calculate the number of pedestrians that can cross a roadway recognizing that up to five (5) pedestrians can utilize the same gap at the same time. However, based on the field observations, the majority of pedestrians crossing State Road A1A were individuals, not groups of people. Therefore, in subsequent sections of this study when evaluating pedestrian safety along the corridor, emphasis was placed on the number of available gaps over the four-hour count period. Based on the Vehicle Gap Study for the southern portion of the corridor there were nine (9) adequate gaps between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. as compared to the crossing volume of six (6) pedestrian/bicyclists just north of Broad Avenue. However, all six (6) pedestrians/bicyclists crossed between 11:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. during which there were only four (4) adequate gaps. Thus, there were not enough adequate gaps near this midblock crossing location to cross State Road A1A without the need to stage within the two-way left-turn lane.

Collision Analysis Crash data for State Road A1A within the study limits was obtained from University of Florida’s Signal Four Analytics obtained for the five-year period between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013. Based on a review of the data, there were no bicycle or pedestrian crashes reported at this study location. Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that the existing midblock pedestrian crosswalk be retained on State Road A1A approximately 70 feet north of Broad Avenue for the following reasons: • • • • • •

The existing crosswalk currently serves pedestrians/bicyclists traveling between the ABC liquor store on the west side of State Road A1A to/from the condominiums/hotels on the east side of State Road A1A. The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,500 vehicles per day (year 2013). The nearest alternative crossing on State Road A1A is over 300 feet in either direction. The proposed crossing is not within the influence area of adjacent signalized intersections. Adequate stopping sight distance is provided at the crossing location. The proposed midblock crossing location is within 100 feet north and south of bus stops.

Because a pedestrian/bicyclist needs to utilize a two-stage movement, whereby they stage in the middle of the road, and because the daily volume on State Road A1A exceeds 12,000 vpd, it is also recommended that the refuge island be retained. However, it is proposed to increase the refuge island size and modify the pavement markings and signage in the vicinity of the existing midblock crosswalk to coincide with that shown in the typical midblock pedestrian crosswalk included in Appendix C. These improvements are shown in a proximity aerial and close up in Figure 4. The cost associated with increasing the refuge island size is approximately $4,500 and the signage and pavement marking modifications are estimated at approximately $5,500 per the typical cost estimate in Appendix C.

26 | P a g e Study Location #2 Existing Conditions Study location #2 is on State Road A1A approximately 110 feet north of the intersection with Simpson Avenue. Table 3 provides a summary of the existing conditions at the study location. Photographs in the vicinity of the study location are also provided. An aerial image showing the proximity of the study location with respect to adjacent land uses, and a zoomed in view of the study location is shown in Figure 5. A midblock pedestrian crossing at this study location would predominantly serve pedestrians/bicyclists traveling between residences and the beach via the Larry Fornari, Sr. Park. The crossing would also serve pedestrians/bicyclists traveling between retail shops, including The Cracked Egg restaurant, on the west side of State Road A1A and hotels/condominiums on the east side of State Road A1A such as the Holiday Inn Express and La Mer condominiums.

29 | P a g e Pedestrian Volumes Four (4) hours of pedestrian and bicycle counts, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., were conducted on a weekend day in the vicinity of the proposed crosswalk location. As summarized below, over the four-hour count there were a total of 33 pedestrians and zero (0) bicycles that crossed State Road A1A.

Based on the Vehicle Gap Study for the southern portion of the corridor there were nine (9) adequate gaps between 10:00 A.M. and 2:00 P.M. as compared to the crossing volume of 33 pedestrians/bicyclists. Additionally, from 1:00 P.M. to 2:00 P.M., there were zero (0) adequate gaps as compared to seven (7) pedestrians crossing State Road A1A. Thus, there were not enough adequate gaps near this study location to cross State Road A1A without the need to stage within the two-way left-turn lane. Crossing Location

Collision Analysis Crash data for State Road A1A within the study limits was obtained from University of Florida’s Signal Four Analytics obtained for the five-year period between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013. Based on a review of the data, there was one (1) pedestrian-related crash near study location #2, which reportedly involved a pedestrian traveling in an unknown direction in the outside northbound lane of State Road A1A, approximately 125 feet north of Simpson Avenue. The crash, which occurred during the night under dry pavement conditions, resulted in one (1) fatality and $2,000 in estimated property damage.

30 | P a g e Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that a midblock pedestrian crosswalk be installed on State Road A1A approximately 110 feet north of Simpson Avenue for the following reasons: • • • • • •

There is a well-defined pattern of existing pedestrian crossings in the vicinity of the proposed crossing location (33 crossings in four hours). The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,800 vehicles per day (year 2013). The nearest alternative crossing on State Road A1A is over 300 feet in either direction. The proposed crossing is not within the influence area of adjacent signalized intersections. Adequate stopping sight distance is provided at the crossing location. The proposed midblock crossing location is adjacent to bus stops.

Because a pedestrian/bicyclist needs to utilize a two-stage movement, whereby they stage in the middle of the road, and because the daily volume on State Road A1A exceeds 12,000 vpd, it is also recommended that a refuge island be provided. Such an island would restrict vehicular turning movements into the southern driveway for the retail shops/The Cracked Egg restaurant on the western side of State Road A1A to a right-in/right-out only access. Alternative driveway access is also provided to the retail shops/restaurants on Simpson Avenue. These improvements are shown in proximity aerial and close up in Figure 5. The estimated cost for the installation of a midblock pedestrian crosswalk is $18,100 per the typical cost estimate in Appendix C.

Table 4 provides a summary of the existing conditions at the study location. Photographs in the vicinity of the study location are also provided. An aerial image showing the proximity of the study location with respect to adjacent land uses, and a zoomed in view of the study location is shown in Figure 6. A midblock pedestrian crossing at this study location would predominantly serve pedestrians/bicyclists traveling between residences on the west side of State Road A1A and the beach, as a vehicle beach access is provided just north of the study location. Also, pedestrians/bicyclists would utilize this crosswalk to travel between retail shops on the west side of State Road A1A and hotels/motels on the east side of State Road A1A.

49 | P a g e Pedestrian Volumes Four (4) hours of pedestrian and bicycle counts, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., were conducted on a weekend day in the vicinity of the study location. As summarized below, over the four-hour count there were a total of 50 pedestrians and one (1) bicycle that crossed State Road A1A. It is important to note that at the time of the counts, the Publix grocery store was closed for remodeling. Therefore, the pedestrian/bicyclist volumes are anticipated to increase when the store reopens.

Based on the Vehicle Gap Study for the southern portion of the corridor there were nine (9) adequate gaps between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. as compared to the crossing volume of 51 pedestrians/bicyclists. Additionally, from 1:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m., there were zero (0) adequate gaps as compared to nine (9) pedestrians/bicyclists crossing State Road A1A. Thus, there were not enough adequate gaps near this study location to cross State Road A1A without the need to stage within the two-way left-turn lane. Crossing Location

50 | P a g e Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that the midblock pedestrian crosswalk and refuge island be retained on State Road A1A adjacent to the Publix grocery store for the following reasons: • • • • • •

The existing pedestrian/bicyclist volumes indicate that this midblock pedestrian crosswalk is used frequently. Additionally, these volumes are expected to increase when the Publix grocery store reopens. The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,800 vehicles per day (year 2013). The nearest alternative crossing on State Road A1A is over 300 feet in either direction. The proposed crossing is not within the influence area of adjacent signalized intersections. Adequate stopping sight distance is provided at the crossing location. The proposed midblock crossing location is within 100 feet of bus stops.

Because of the anticipated increase in pedestrian/bicyclist activity when Publix reopens, it is recommended that a Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB) be installed on the west and east sides of State Road A1A. The total cost for the installation of an RRFB is estimated at $43,000 per the typical cost estimate in Appendix C. It should be noted that this includes the installation of four one-way signs, two for each direction with one placed behind the curb and the other placed within the refuge island. Additionally, this includes solar panels for powering the units, pad lighting, all posts, and push button detection.

55 | P a g e Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that the midblock crosswalk be retained on State Road A1A just north of Bellemead Drive for the following reasons: • • • • • •

The existing pedestrian/bicyclist volumes indicate that this midblock pedestrian crosswalk is used frequently (65 pedestrians/bicyclists over four hours). The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,800 vehicles per day (year 2013). The nearest alternative crossing on State Road A1A is over 300 feet in either direction. The proposed crossing is not within the influence area of adjacent signalized intersections. Adequate stopping sight distance is provided at the crossing location. The proposed midblock crossing location is within 100 feet of bus stops.

Because a pedestrian/bicyclist needs to utilize a two-stage movement, whereby they stage in the middle of the road, and because the daily volume on State Road A1A exceeds 12,000 vpd, it is also recommended that a refuge island be retained. However, it is proposed increase the refuge island size and eliminate vegetation to enhance pedestrian visibility. Such an island would not restrict vehicle driveway access. Additionally, it is proposed to modify the pavement markings and signage in the vicinity of the existing midblock crosswalk to coincide with that shown in the typical midblock pedestrian crosswalk included in Appendix C. These improvements are shown in proximity aerial and close up in Figure 10. The costs associated with signage and pavement marking modifications are estimated at approximately $5,500 per the typical cost estimate.

65 | P a g e Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that a midblock pedestrian crosswalk be installed on State Road A1A approximately 60 feet north of Florida Shores Boulevard for the following reasons: • • • • • •

There is a well-defined pattern of existing pedestrian crossings in the vicinity of the proposed crossing location (54 crossings in four hours). The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,800 vehicles per day (year 2013). The nearest alternative crossing on State Road A1A is over 300 feet in either direction. The proposed crossing is not within the influence area of adjacent signalized intersections. Adequate stopping sight distance is provided at the crossing location. The proposed midblock crossing location is within 100 feet of bus stops.

Because a pedestrian/bicyclist needs to utilize a two-stage movement, whereby they stage in the middle of the road, and because the daily volume on State Road A1A exceeds 12,000 vpd, it is also recommended that a refuge island be provided. Such an island would restrict the driveway on the western side of State Road A1A approximately 30 feet north of Florida Shores Boulevard to a right-in/out only access, however, alternative access is provided 160 feet north via another driveway. These improvements are shown in proximity aerial and close up in Figure 12. The estimated cost for the installation of a midblock pedestrian crosswalk is $18,100.

69 | P a g e Pedestrian Volumes Four (4) hours of pedestrian and bicycle counts, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., were conducted on a weekend day in the vicinity of the proposed crosswalk location. As summarized below, over the four-hour count there were a total of 21 pedestrians and zero (0) bicycles that crossed State Road A1A.

Based on the Vehicle Gap Study for the northern portion of the corridor there were seven (7) adequate gaps between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. as compared to the crossing volume of 21 pedestrians/bicyclists. Additionally, the data indicates that from 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. there were no adequate gaps as compared to two (2) pedestrians/bicyclists crossing State Road A1A. Thus, there were not enough adequate gaps near the study location to cross State Road A1A without the need to stage within the two-way left-turn lane. Crossing Location

Collision Analysis Crash data for State Road A1A within the study limits was obtained from University of Florida’s Signal Four Analytics obtained for the five-year period between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013. Based on a review of the data, there was one (1) crash which reportedly involved a northbound pedestrian who was crossing the Peninsula Condominiums driveway on the east side of State Road A1A. The pedestrian was struck by a vehicle existing from the driveway. The crash, which occurred during the day under dry pavement conditions, resulted in one (1) injury and no estimated property damage.

70 | P a g e Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that a midblock pedestrian crosswalk be installed on State Road A1A approximately 300 feet north of Beachcomber Street for the following reasons: • • • • •

The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,500 vehicles per day (year 2013). The nearest alternative crossing on State Road A1A is over 300 feet in either direction. The proposed crossing is not within the influence area of adjacent signalized intersections. Adequate stopping sight distance is provided at the crossing location. The proposed midblock crossing location is within 100 feet of bus stops.

Because a pedestrian/bicyclist needs to utilize a two-stage movement, whereby they stage in the middle of the road, and because the daily volume on State Road A1A exceeds 12,000 vpd, it is also recommended that a refuge island be provided. Such an island would not affect vehicle driveway access. These improvements are shown in proximity aerial and close up in Figure 13. The estimated cost for the installation of a midblock pedestrian crosswalk is $18,100.

71 | P a g e Study Location #11 Existing Conditions Study location #11 is on State Road A1A approximately 410 feet north of Sea Spray Street, adjacent to the Bella Vista condominiums. Table 12 provides a summary of the existing conditions at the study location. Photographs in the vicinity of the study location are also provided. An aerial image showing the proximity of the study location with respect to adjacent land uses, and a zoomed in view of the study location is shown in Figure 14. A midblock pedestrian crossing at this study location would predominantly serve both pedestrians/bicyclists traveling between the retail shops on the west side of State Road A1A and hotels/condominiums, such as the Bella Vista condominiums on the east side of State Road A1A.

75 | P a g e Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that a midblock pedestrian crosswalk be installed on State Road A1A approximately 410 feet north of Sea Spray Street for the following reasons: • • • • • • •

There is a well-defined pattern of existing pedestrian crossings in the vicinity of the proposed crossing location (42 crossings in four hours). Pedestrian volumes from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. are over 20 pedestrians per hour (22 pedestrians). The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,500 vehicles per day (year 2013).

An aerial image showing the proximity of the study location with respect to adjacent land uses, and a zoomed in view of the study location is shown in Figure 15. A midblock pedestrian crossing at this location would predominantly serve pedestrians traveling between the residences/retail shops on the west side of State Road A1A and hotels/condominiums like St. Marteen condominiums on the east side of State Road A1A. It should also be noted that immediately west of the proposed crossing location there is a proposed overflow parking lot for the Sun Viking Lodge (located southeast of the proposed midblock pedestrian crossing).

85 | P a g e Recommendations Based on the data collected, field observations, and engineering judgment, it is recommended that a midblock pedestrian crosswalk be installed on State Road A1A approximately 80 feet north of Minerva Road for the following reasons: • • • • • •

There is a well-defined pattern of existing pedestrian crossings in the vicinity of the proposed crossing location (58 crossings in four hours). The daily traffic volume on State Road A1A is 12,500 vehicles per day (year 2013). The nearest alternative crossing on State Road A1A is over 300 feet in either direction. The proposed crossing is not within the influence area of adjacent signalized intersections. Adequate stopping sight distance is provided at the crossing location. The proposed midblock crossing location is immediately adjacent to bus stops.

Because a pedestrian/bicyclist needs to utilize a two-stage movement, whereby they stage in the middle of the road, and because the daily volume on State Road A1A exceeds 12,000 vpd, it is also recommended that a refuge island be provided. Such an island would restrict a driveway to the east of the proposed midblock pedestrian crossing, belonging to the Hawaiian Inn Beach Resort, to a right-in/out only driveway. Alternative access to the Hawaiian Inn Beach Resort is provided on the east side of State Road A1A approximately 100 feet north of the affected driveway. These improvements are shown in proximity aerial and close up in Figure 16. The estimated cost for the installation of a midblock pedestrian crosswalk is $18,100.

4 SIGNALIZED INTERSECTIONS As previously conveyed, there are four (4) traffic signals located along the study corridor at Peninsula Drive, South Atlantic Avenue, Moore Avenue and Botefuhr Avenue. Each of these signals includes crosswalks with pedestrian signal features. The pedestrian features at each intersection include marked crosswalks, operational countdown pedestrian signal heads, pushbutton detectors, and ADA-compliant sidewalk ramps. Signal timings for each of the intersections were obtained and the Flashing Don’t Walk intervals reviewed. Based on the review, the Flashing Don’t Walk intervals are adequate. Following is an overview of each of the signalized intersections, including a summary of vehicular, pedestrian, and bicycle volumes as well as pedestrian/bicycle crash history: Dunlawton Avenue and Peninsula Drive Traffic Volumes A four-hour turning movement count was conducted at the intersection on a typical Summer Saturday. During the four (4) hours of manually collected turning movement counts, there were 10,373 vehicles and 22 pedestrians/bicyclists observed. Total traffic volumes peaked during the midday hours of 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. (2,674 vehicles). The pedestrian/bicyclist peak hour occurred between 1:00 pm. and 2:00 p.m. during which there were four (4) pedestrians and four (4) bicyclists. During the peak period of the highest pedestrian/bicyclist volumes the vehicular volumes at the intersection totaled 2,665 vehicles. The vehicular and pedestrian/bicyclist volumes during the pedestrian/bicyclist peak period are summarized below along with being shown in the Summary of Vehicle Movements in Appendix A.

Collision Analysis Crash data for State Road A1A within the study limits was obtained from University of Florida’s Signal Four Analytics obtained for the five-year period between January 1, 2009 and December 31, 2013. Based on a review of the data, there were five pedestrian/bicyclist-related crashes reported near at the Dunlawton Avenue/Peninsula Drive intersection resulting in five (5) injuries and $1,400 in estimated property damage. One (1) of the crashes occurred at night while the other four (4) occurred during the day. Additionally, all five (5) crashes occurred on dry pavement conditions. Three (3) of the five (5) crashes were reportedly the result of a bicyclist failing to yield the right of way to vehicles. One (1) of the five (5) crashes was reportedly the result of a skateboarder failing to yield the right of way to vehicles. One (1) of the crashes resulted from a southbound right-turning vehicle that illegally turned on a red signal indication as there is a “NO TURN ON RED” blank-out sign for southbound motorists. The motorist stuck a pedestrian within the northern crosswalk. Another crash was the result of a southbound left-turning motorist that turned on a permissive green signal indication, striking a pedestrian legally crossing in the eastern crosswalk. Summary Based on the volumes, field review of the intersection, and crash history, no improvements/modifications are recommended at this intersection. It should also be noted that the intersection has a “NO TURN ON RED”

5 LONG-TERM IMPROVEMENTS The addition/modification of mid-block pedestrian crossings along State Road A1A within Daytona Beach Shores provides a short-term solution for enhancing pedestrian safety along the corridor. However, long-term improvements were also considered to understand what additional enhancements could be implemented to further the balance of vehicular and pedestrian activity. One of the primary challenges of the State Road A1A corridor is the expansive nature of pedestrian generators (hotels, condominiums, single-family residences, beach) and attractors (beach, retail shops, restaurants) along the entire corridor. As a result, pedestrians/bicyclists can be observed crossing all along the corridor as opposed to a high consolidation of crossings in select locations. Although the mid-block pedestrian crossings as previously recommended in the study are expected to provide enhanced pedestrian safety, there is still expected to be pedestrian/bicycle crossings occurring at unmarked locations along the corridor. For that reason, the City of Daytona Beach Shores needs to continue promoting a pedestrian-friendly community whereby motorists traveling within the City, especially on State Road A1A, drive with a heightened sense of awareness as it relates to increased potential for conflicts with pedestrians and bicyclists. When considering more extensive improvements relative to enhancing pedestrian safety, consideration needs to be given to the fact that State Road A1A is an arterial roadway where vehicular capacity and operations need to be preserved. This requires the signalized intersections along the corridor, particularly at Dunlawton Avenue/South Atlantic Avenue, to be carefully considered when evaluating alternatives that may affect intersection capacity. Separately, development effectively fronts both sides of the State Road A1A corridor along the entire limits of the study corridor, thus limiting opportunities for considering improvements that require additional right-of-way. Additionally, impacts to access along the corridor need to be carefully evaluated when assessing improvement alternatives. The City recently addressed similar challenges on South Atlantic Avenue south of Dunlawton Avenue where it was also desired to enhance pedestrian/bicycle facilities along this section of roadway. However, right-of-way limitations substantially restricted the options. Thus, after much evaluation and study, the City elected to proceed with a road diet whereby they reduced this section of roadway from five-lanes down to three lanes. They then utilized the previous pavement area for the construction of expanded sidewalks. A critical component of the road diet was ensuring that the roadway would continue to function acceptably with the reduced number of lanes. Ultimately, it was determined that the roadway would function acceptably provided the number of lanes at the Dunlawton Avenue/South Atlantic Avenue intersection were not reduced. When considering a road diet for the section of State Road A1A north of Dunlawton Avenue, there are numerous similarities with the section south of Dunlawton Avenue including the existing section (5-lane undivided), traffic volumes, and the critical intersections. If the roadway were reduced to a three-lane segment, the capacity of the roadway would become 16,300 vehicles per day (vpd) based on generalized service volume tables contained in the Florida Department of Transportation’s 2013 Quality/Level of Service Handbook. This daily capacity translates to a peak-hour two-way capacity of 1,460 vehicles per hour (vph). It is Traffic Engineering Data Solutions, Inc.

Daytona Beach Shores Pedestrian Safety Study Daytona Beach Shores (Volusia County), Florida

110 | P a g e important to note that these capacities are based on a level of service (LOS) D standard as that is the standard the City of Daytona Beach Shores has identified in its Comprehensive Plan for all state arterials within the City. Additionally, these generalized capacities are based on an assumption that the corridor has five (5) signals per mile whereas the study corridor has only three signals over a four-mile section. By way of comparison, a three-lane roadway without any traffic signals has a generalized daily capacity of 25,400 vpd based on a LOS D standard. Thus, it is reasonable to conclude that the actual capacity of State Road A1A is higher than the generalized capacity of 16,300 vpd and 1,460 vph. Based on 2013 traffic data as obtained from FDOT, the daily volume in year 2013 on State Road A1A between Dunlawton Avenue and Silver Beach Avenue was 12,500 to 12,800 vehicles per day, approximately 77% of the capacity. Below is a summary of the historical traffic volumes over the past five years with which it can be seen that the volume has been below the generalized capacity of 16,300. Additionally, these volumes demonstrate that traffic volume growth has been minimal, which is logical given the built-out nature of the State Road A1A corridor. Roadway segment (S.R.

In considering how the roadway would function on a summer Saturday, greater emphasis should be placed on the hourly volumes. As previously conveyed in this study, the peak-hour bi-directional volume on a summer Saturday was approximately 1,300 vehicles, which is below the 1,460 vph generalized capacity. These existing volumes are below the generalized capacity for a three-lane section, the generalized capacities are expected to be conservatively low and the corridor is effectively built-out. Therefore, based on this analysis, it is reasonable to conclude that the roadway would function at an acceptable level of service with a three-lane section both today and in the future. However, should the consideration of a road diet be explored further, detailed analyses should be conducted at the signalized intersections to better understand the lane geometry needed at each location to provide for acceptable operations. A conceptual improvement diagram showing the road diet typical along a section of the study corridor was developed and is provided as Figure 20. This concept contemplates shifting the curb line on each side of the roadway towards the center of the roadway by eight feet, to provide for a four-foot bike lane on each side of State Road A1A. The sidewalks on each side would require reconstruction to provide appropriate tie-ins to the new curb line. Should the location of the sidewalks be maintained, then a grass or landscaped buffer could be provided between the new curb line and the existing sidewalk. As an alternative, the sidewalk could be meandered on each side of the roadway. Also, moving the curb line on each side allows for the construction of bus pullouts in each direction. Last, a critical component in determining the preferable option for implementing the road diet is impacts to the drainage system. A preliminary engineering evaluation would be necessary to better understand drainage-related considerations and costs as they can vary significantly.

111 | P a g e Based on the improvement concept, the total cost of the road diet, including engineering, construction and CEI, is estimated at three million dollars per mile. So implementation of the road diet across the entire study corridor is preliminarily estimated at 12.9 million dollars. However, it should be noted that a five-lane section would most likely need to be maintained for a short duration immediately north of the Dunlawton Avenue intersection to accommodate the dual eastbound left-turn lanes and to provide for the appropriate transition to the southbound approach at the intersection.

6 CONCLUSIONS Traffic Engineering Data Solutions, Inc. (TEDS) was retained on behalf of the River to Sea Transportation Planning Organization (TPO) to conduct a pedestrian safety study on State Road A1A. The study corridor included Dunlawton Avenue from Peninsula Drive to State Road A1A, and on State Road A1A from Dunlawton Avenue to the northern City limits of Daytona Beach Shores in Daytona Beach Shores, Florida. Based on the pedestrian/bicycle crossing data, a review of crash history (18 bicycle/pedestrian crashes along entire corridor over a five-year period), feedback/input received at a meeting with representatives from the City of Daytona Beach Shores Police Department, field observations and coordination with FDOT, 16 locations were evaluated for enhanced pedestrian/bicycle safety. Recommendations for each location are summarized in the table below: Location Location Number Location on State Road A1A Improvement Number Location on State Road A1A Improvement 1 70' North of Broad Ave. 2, 5 9 60' North of Florida Shores Blvd. 1 2 110' North of Simpson Ave. 1 10 300' North of Beachcomber St. 1 3 70' North of Esmeralda Ave. 1 11 410' North of Sea Spray St. 1 4 350' North of Atares Ave. 1* 12 180' North of Milton Rd. 1 5 Next to Public Safety Building 4 13 80' North of Minerva Rd. 1 6 Next to Publix 3 14 180' North of Lindley Rd. 1* 7 30' North of Bellemead Dr. 2, 5 15 80' South of Browning Ave. 1 8 180' South of Oceans W. Blvd. 2, 5 16 80' South of Frazar Rd. 1 Improvement: 1 - Add new midblock crosswalk with refuge island 2 - Modify pavement markings/signage at existing crosswalk and eliminate vegetation in refuge island 3 - Add Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon 4 - Maintain existing crosswalk 5 - Increase refuge island size * - additional costs anticipated due to drainage/manhole adjustments ($5,000 to $15,000)

The four traffic signals located along the study corridor at Peninsula Drive, South Atlantic Avenue, Moore Avenue and Botefuhr Avenue include crosswalks with pedestrian signal features. Based on the volumes, field review of the intersections, and crash history, no pedestrian-related improvements were recommended for the signalized intersections. A road diet, whereby State Road A1A would be reduced from a five-lane section down to a three-lane section, was identified as a potential long-term improvement that would further the balance of vehicular and pedestrian activity along the corridor. Based on the study, it is reasonable to conclude that the roadway would function acceptably with a three-lane section both today and in the future. However, should the consideration of a road diet be explored further, detailed analyses should be conducted at the signalized intersections to better understand the lane geometry needed at each location. Based on the road diet concept, the total cost of implementing the road diet across the entire study corridor is preliminarily estimated at 12.9 million dollars.
