The conclusions of this study are as follows: |
| 1. |
The Brady Estate is located on Foxhall Road, within a connected network of arterial, collector, and local streets. |
| 2. |
St. Patrick’s has not made an official decision to create a high school or to move its Grades 7 and 8 program, now located on MacArthur Blvd, to 1801 Foxhall Road. The FOSP, the entity of parents who purchased the property back in April, 2004, stated that they would take significant time developing a strategic plan for ultimate use of the land taking into consideration the needs of the school, environmental impacts, and neighbors’ concerns regarding this property. |
| 3. |
The signalized Foxhall Road/Garfield Street, Foxhall Road/Field School Driveway, and Foxhall Road/Whitehaven Parkway presently operate at an acceptable overall level of service (LOS) “D” or better during all times of day.
The signalized Reservoir Road/MacArthur Boulevard (West) and Reservoir Road/MacArthur Boulevard (East) intersections operate at or over capacity at an overall LOS “E” or “F” during the AM peak hour and at an acceptable overall LOS “A” or “B” during the school and commuter PM peak hours.
The signalized Foxhall Road/Reservoir Road intersection operates at capacity at an overall LOS “F” during the AM peak hour and near capacity at LOS “E” during the school and commuter PM peak hours. |
| 4. |
Redevelopment of the Philips Estate and background traffic growth would have a small impact on intersection levels of service. |
| 5. |
The St. Patrick’s Travel Demand Management (TDM) Plan would consist of the following elements:
a. Walk initiative
b. Carpool initiatives
c. Shuttle bus service
d. Parking controls
e. Staggered class start and dismissal times
|
| 6. |
The St. Patrick’s middle and upper schools would generate approximately 257 AM peak hour vehicle-trips, 175 school PM peak hour vehicle-trips, and 188 commuter PM peak hour vehicle-trips, at the ultimate enrollment of 120 middle school and 320 upper school students. |
| 7. |
The school will ultimately increase peak hour traffic on Foxhall Road north of the driveway by five to 14 percent, and would increase peak hour traffic on Foxhall Road south of the driveway by two to four percent. |
| 8. |
The 28 new homes would generate approximately 21 AM peak hour vehicle-trips, 17 school PM peak hour vehicle-trips, and 28 commuter PM peak hour vehicle-trips. |
| 9. |
Redevelopment of the Brady Estate would have a small impact on intersection levels of service. It would add 12 or fewer seconds of additional average vehicle delay for motorists passing through the signalized intersections on Foxhall Road and MacArthur Boulevard. |
| 10. |
The proposed school would add fewer than three seconds of additional average vehicle delay for Colony Hill motorists. |
| 11. |
The proposed new Foxhall Road/St. Patrick’s signalized intersection would operate at an overall acceptable LOS “A” or “B” at all times of day. Traffic turning left into the driveway from Foxhall Road also would operate at an acceptable LOS “C” or “D” and traffic turning right into the driveway from Foxhall Road would operate at an acceptable LOS “A” or “B”. Traffic turning left or right to exit the driveway onto Foxhall Road would operate at acceptable LOS “A”. |

| Friends of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School LLC (“FOSP”) is a private, limited liability corporation which was formed to purchase the property at 1801 Foxhall Road, N.W. in order to donate it to the Vestry of St. Patrick’s Episcopal Parish (“Parish”) for the purpose of building a middle school/high school campus for St. Patrick’s Episcopal Day School (“School”). FOSP has donated approximately one-half of the property to the Parish and intends to sell the remainder to a for-profit developer for the construction of a residential development. Neither the Parish nor the School are members of the FOSP and neither have any control, direct or indirect, over the FOSP or the construction of the residential development. |
