SECTION 1 PROJECT CONTEXT AND SUMMARY STATEMENT
GEwALT HAMILToN ASSOCIATES, INC. (GHA) has investigated the traffic planning and parking
requirements of the above referenced project. Congregation B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim (BJBE)
proposes to expand its current on -site Sunday School program by bringing those students currently
utilizing space at Caruso Middle School back to the site.
Our study findings are discussed below and various recommendations are offered for your consideration.
Exhibits referenced in the text are centrally located in the Technical Addendum at the end of this report.
Briefly summarizing, we believe that the adjacent roadways can accommodate the additional anticipated
Sunday School traffic by continuing and supplementing a number of the Traffic Operations that were
recommended when the Temple site was originally approved. Furthermore, projected parking demands
can be accommodated by BJBE's on -site and agreed to shared parking supply. Key elements to
successfully managing the additional traffic and parking include:
• Continued coordination with adjacent religious schools (Hellenic American Academy and the
Chicagoland Jewish High School) to minimize overlap of significant activities and special events.
• Peak Traffic for Sunday School occurs when the majority of the adjacent office space is at minimal
operations.
• Continue to seek agreements to accommodate additional on and off site overflow parking.
• Maintain current one-way flow around BJBE site and seek use of CJHS connection and driveway to
separate exiting traffic.
• Sunday School and primary worship services are not concurrent.

SECTION 2 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Exhibits I and 2 — Site Location Map and Site Context
Exhibit 1 identifies the location of Congregation B'nai Jehoshua Beth Elohim (BJBE), which is
comprised of three buildings in the Deerfield Business Center (1141, 1181, and 1201 Lake Cook Road)
and utilizes the 1201 Lake Cook Road address. The Deerfield Business Center is made up of a total of
six buildings located on approximately 10.5-acres at the southwest corner of the Pine Street intersection
with Lake Cook Road in the Village of Deerfield, Illinois.
Approximately 100 feet south of Lake Cook Road, there is an internal intersection that serves the office
development to the west, the Hellenic American Academy located at 1085 Lake Cook Road to the east
and the south leg provides access to both Congregation BJBE and the Chicagoland Jewish High School
(CJHS). All inbound BJBE traffic accesses the site from a point approximately 350 feet south of the
frontage road intersection and circulation around the BJBE buildings is one way clockwise.
Exhibit 2 provides an aerial photo of the surrounding uses for context.
Exhibit 3 — Photographic Inventory
Exhibit 3 provides a photo inventory of current operations at the internal Frontage Road intersection as
well as the BJBE entrance and drop off areas.
Exhibit 4 —Existing Traffic Volumes
On Sunday April 21, 2013 GHA conducted peak period (7:00 am to 2:00 pm) traffic counts at the
Frontage road intersections with Pine Street, the Deerfield business Center driveways and the BJBE /
CJHS driveway split. Two resultant peak hours were observed associated with the predominant drop-off
/ pick-up movements in lieu of parents staying on -site with their children. The "inbound" peak occurred
from 9:00 to 10:00 am and the "outbound" peak hour occurred from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm. Those traffic
volumes are illustrated in Exhibit 4. While we present and discuss hourly volumes the true peaks of
these two movements are much shorter, with the inbound peak only lasting between 15-20 minutes and
the outbound peak lasting between 25-30 minutes.
Observations were also conducted by GHA at Caruso Middle School on Sunday May 5, 2013 to
quantify the impact of moving the Sunday school program from Caruso to the 1201 Lake Cook site.
Similar, shortened peak periods were observed at Caruso.
No unusual delays occurred during the counts such as foul weather (e.g. heavy snowfall or rain), road
construction, or emergency vehicle activity that would adversely affect the volumes or travel patterns.
Traffic count data summaries can be found in Appendix L
Exhibit 5 — Existing Parking Occupancy
Concurrently with our Sunday traffic observations, GHA conducted hourly parking occupancy counts in
the Deerfield Business Center, the Hellenic American Academy lot and the CJHS parking lot. Exhibit 5
illustrates the parking lot designations as well as summarizes the parking occupancy by hour and the

peak occupancy during our observation period. As can be seen, while HAA and CJHS had some limited
activities, the Deerfield Business Center was almost vacant and the CJHS parking demand peaked at 80
vehicles on site during the 10-11:00 am hour.

on Sunday May 5, 2013.

Notes: Portions of parking demand associated with athletic field use. Special BJBE program on site in
conjunction with athletic field use resulted in offsite parking on adjacent residential streets. BJBE
demand represents typical operations of ±30 teachers and staff.
SECTION 3 PROJECT TRAFFIC CHARACTERISTICS
Exhibit 6 — Building Plan
Included as Exhibit 6 is the April 15, 2013 site plan prepared by Finegold Alexander and Associates,
Inc. (FAA) depicting the planned internal renovations to the 1141 building to accommodate the
additional students that will be relocated from Caruso School.
Exhibit 7 —Project Traffic Characteristics
Traffic Generations
Part A of Exhibit 7 tabulates the observed traffic volumes for the current Sunday Peak Periods at BJBE
as observed by GHA on Sunday April 21 2013 as well as the subsequent observations at Caruso School
on Sunday May 5, 2013. Traffic volumes at both locations exhibited distinct "inbound" and "outbound"
peaks which have been tabulated separately. As can be seen, the "inbound" and "outbound" peaks were
observed between 9:00 to 10:00 am and 11:00 ain to 12:00 pm respectively. These periods coincide with
the beginning and ending times of the Sunday school program from 9:30 am to 12:00 pm.
The total number of inbound and outbound trips during the two peak hours was utilized to determine an
average trip rate for the total number of attendees at the two sites. We feel that this represents a
conservative approach to projecting traffic volume for a larger group because: 1) parents with children
in multiple age groups / classes would have been counted at both locations, 2) the trips at the Temple
site also include traffic activities associated with other adult oriented programs and worship that occur
concurrently with Sunday School.
Part B. of Exhibit 7 utilizes the above referenced average rate to project traffic volumes out to the
ultimate 700 student capacity of the BJBE campus on Lake Cook Road. The increased student
attendance at BJBE is expected to generate approximately 450 additional trips during each of the peak

hours. As noted above, this volume is likely overstated, but we believe that it allows us to analyze the
maximum potential impacts of the planned consolidation of the education program.

Part C of Exhibit 7 summarizes the observed directional distribution of BJBE traffic. We observed that
slightly more traffic arrived and departed to and from the west along Lake Cook Road and the frontage
road than to and from the east. After years of being prohibited, traffic is now permitted to travel north
and south across Lake Cook Road at Pine Street. Due to the current separated programs, it is possible
that the ultimate distribution could be different as parents make a single stop in Deerfield vs. potentially
two stops due to the current separation of the education program.
SECTION 4 EVALUATION
Exhibits 8 & 9 — Sunday School Traffic Assignments
Traffic generated by the proposed consolidation of BJBE Sunday School classes was "assigned" to the
adjacent roadways based on the project characteristics (see Exhibit 7) and the site's access system and is
illustrated in Exhibit 8. BJBE traffic was then combined with the Existing Traffic volumes (see Exhibit
4) to yield the Total Traffic assignment, which is presented, in Exhibit 9.
Exhibit 10 — Parking Calculations
The current BJBE site provides approximately 149 parking spaces. There is an agreement with Deerfield
Business Center to utilize an additional 40 and ongoing discussions with CJHS to utilize some of their
189 spaces for overflow.
In GHA's original analyses of parking demands for BJBE, the maximum parking demand on site was
expected to occur on Friday evenings and holidays when the full congregation attends services in the
sanctuary. During the week programs were expected to have a maximum of 100 attendees. Therefore
parking demand for the original development was based on the seating capacity of the Chapel space
(approximately 711).
Using the Place of Worship calculation (1 space per 4 seats) parking demand / requirement was
established at 178 spaces (1 space / 4 seats = 711/4 = 177.75). While not met on -site it was proposed
that BJBE would work with adjacent properties to make arrangements for overflow parking when those
uses are not at peak operations.
Our observed Peak Demand for parking at BJBE on Sunday was 80 spaces. Of the various activities that
occurred at Caruso School, the typical parking demand for Sunday School is approximately 30,
primarily teachers and adult assistants for the education programs. These combined observations result
in an average parking demand of 0.23 spaces per attendee (almost exactly the same as the 1 space per 4
seats of the worship area calculations). While we are aware of no current plan to add significant staff for
the consolidation and expansion of the on -site education program, if parking demand increased at the
average rate of 0.23 spaces per attendee to 700 attendees total an additional 52 spaces would be
required.

Exhibit 10 includes three separate tables which provide:
Part A — Observed parking demand in the study area at BJBE as well as supplemental demand of Sunday
School programming at Caruso.
Part B — Projected additional demand of net increase to 700 students at 0.23 spaces per student average
as observed.
Part C — Future Parking demands in Study area. As can be seen there is only one hour that parking is
expected to exceed demand of the on -site BJBE supply of 149 spaces. However the anticipated
demand does not exceed the additional 40 spaces available to BJBE in the Deerfield Business
Center.
Exhibit 11— Recommended Traffic Operations
Exhibit 11 notes key operational recommendations to allow the existing site and surrounding roadways
to accommodate the anticipated increases in traffic associated with consolidation of the Sunday School
program
1. Continue to seek and utilize cross parking agreements for overflow parking at peak times.
2. Utilize traffic personnel to coordinate internal intersection operations at south end of drop off lane.
3. Utilize CJHS cross access as additional site exit for drop off / pick up maneuvers during peak
periods
4. Maintain one-way circulation pattern on site
5. Consider alternate drop-off pick up locations if necessary
While we believe our analyses has conservatively considered the maximum traffic and parking impacts
on site, should congestion and parking concerns arise, BJBE could always consider staggered class start
and end times to reduce the intensity of the short traffic peaks.
Note that all of the following recommendations from the original study have been completed:
• Extend the westbound left turn lane from its current length of 150 feet to 300 feet. [CCHD]
• Modify existing traffic signal timing and phasing at the Lake Cook / Pine Street intersection.
[CCHD]
• Widen the south leg of the frontage road intersection to provide two northbound lanes. [CJHS]
• Coordinate with CJHS to consider a one way (right turn only) connection near the BJBE building
entrance. [BJBE]
• Consider a second, gated connection between the BJBE and CJHS sites to allow easier cross access
for shared parking arrangements and provide both sites with an alternate emergency access. [BJBE]
