Thanks. .T. --� Liberty Street Discontinuance: Transportation Analysis Executive Summary The City of Salem proposes to discontinue Liberty Street between Essex Street and Charter Street in conjunction with the planned expansion of the Peabody Essex Museum. The museum proposes an expansion their existing exhibition facilities on Liberty Street from 130,000 to 200,000 square feet to accommodate additional exhibition galleries,an orientation atrium,public program space,and an interior pedestrian walkway. The building plan includes closing an underutilized portion of Liberty Street to vehicular traffic and creating an expanded pedestrian walkway linking Essex Street with Charter Street. The result will be an enhanced pedestrian corridor with greater capacity and amenities providing better pedestrian access to all area businesses. The discontinuance of Liberty Street will not have a noticeable impact on area traffic flow. Current traffic volumes along this section of Liberty Street are typical of a low- volume,local street. Presently,vehicular traffic along Liberty Street consists of a portion of the traffic traveling to and from the south and the East India Square and Church Street parking facilities and local'cut-through'traffic. Vehicles traveling to and from the nearby parking facilities via Route 128 and other points to the west and north or Route 107 towards the east do not use this portion of Liberty Street. The vehicles traveling to and from area parking facilities to and from the south will be diverted as a result of the Liberty Street discontinuance. These vehicles can use several different alternative routes which will be highlighted through updated tourist information,telephone directions,museum brochures,etc. VHB has assessed the impact of these diversions and concluded that they will not have a noticeable impact on area traffic operations. While the discontinuance of Liberty Street will not have a noticeable impact on area vehicular traffic,it will provide a marked enhancement for pedestrian traffic. Pedestrians along Liberty Street between Essex Street and Charter Street will be accommodated via an interior walkway through the museum and an exterior 20-foot wide,landscaped walkway to the east of the new construction. A clearly-marked, attractive signage program will be provided to enhance connections from the Visitor Center and museum to Derby Street and the waterfront,and will improve pedestrian orientation to all nearby landmarks,attractions and businesses. %WAWAL�059aT m*apvl NPWEKi I— r In summary,the transportation analysis presented herein demonstrates that the proposed discontinuance of the portion of Liberty Street between Essex Street and Charter Street will not have a noticeable effect on area traffic operations or access to parking and local businesses. Furthermore,the Liberty Street discontinuance will afford the opportunity to improve pedestrian access and circulation in this area. NATWpLDLLDW5902Wocs4epnMPEPPER.o Z Introduction The City of Salem proposes to discontinue Liberty Street between Essex Street and Charter Street in conjunction with the planned expansion of the Peabody Essex Museum. The museum proposes an expansion their existing exhibition facilities on Liberty Street from 130,000 to 200,000 square feet to accommodate additional exhibition galleries,an orientation atrium,public program space,and an interior pedestrian walkway. The building plan includes closing an underutilized portion of Liberty Street to vehicular traffic and creating an expanded pedestrian walkway linking Essex Street with Charter Street. The result will be an enhanced pedestrian corridor with greater capacity and amenities providing better pedestrian access to all area businesses. The expansion will be constructed to the east of the existing Liberty Street facility, utilizing Liberty Street and portions of the existing Empire parking lot,as shown in Figure 1. Liberty Street will be closed to vehicular traffic between Essex Street and Charter Street;pedestrian traffic will be accommodated through an interior passageway through the museum and a new exterior pedestrian landscaped walkway that parallels Liberty Street. The closure of Liberty Street between Essex Street and Charter Street is a key component of the expansion development program as it allows for integration of the old and new areas of the museum. This technical memorandum evaluates the traffic impacts of the proposed Liberty Street closure on both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Liberty Street Closure Impacts -Vehicular Traffic As part of the museum expansion,Liberty Street is proposed to be closed to vehicular traffic between Essex Street and Charter Street. Liberty Street is a short,narrow,two- lane roadway running between Brown Street and Charter Street,as shown in Figure 2. Liberty Street primarily serves as vehicular access to the East India Square parking garage located at the comer of Liberty Street and Brown Street;the Church Street parking lots located to the west of Brown Street;and the Empire Street parking lot located at the comer of Liberty Street and Charter Street. To assess the traffic impacts of the closure of Liberty Street,existing traffic volumes and projected conditions were investigated. ■ Existing Liberty Street Traffic Volumes Because downtown Salem is a popular visitor destination,traffic volumes within the City vary greatly depending on the time of year. To assess the traffic impacts of the Liberty Street closure,two time periods were analyzed: 'average'conditions in April, and'summer visitor'conditions in August. The'average'conditions assessment _awalDurnnsaazmwsv�REK� 3 a r �1 1 rG PLdnune FS.ES 41KFl%I �. rl ellC G%RDES . •.rte � _ :� ' I I TI NEW C.iRDEl MR CHI1E1E 111115E.J r J f �1 r ✓T .. . . . . . . . . ... . . . . . .

During the morning and evening peak commuting hours(the time of day with the highest amount of traffic on the roadways),Liberty Street primarily serves commuters travelling to and from the East India Square and Church Street parking facilities. To estimate the amount of traffic using Liberty Street between Charter Street and Essex Street during'average'conditions,VHB conducted manual turning movement counts at the intersections of Liberty Street at Brown Street,Liberty Street at East India Square parking garage entrance and exits,and Liberty Street at Charter Street. The counts were conducted during the morning and evening peak commuting hours(7 to 9 AM) and(4 to 6 PM)on a typical weekday in April 1998 to reflect commuter activity on an average weekday. The morning and evening peak commuting hour traffic volumes are presented in Figure 3. As shown in the figure, approximately 300 vehicles travel along the roadway during the morning peak hour and 330 travel during the evening peak hour. In addition to the intersection traffic counts,automatic traffic recorders(ATRs)were placed across Liberty Street adjacent to the museum entrance to quantify the number of vehicles using Liberty Street for 24-hours a day for a seven-day period in April/May 1998 ('average'conditions)and again in August 1998('summer visitor' conditions). The April/May 1998 traffic counts reflect primarily commuter traffic, whereas the August 1998 traffic volumes reflect a combination of commuter and visitor traffic in the area. Table 1 presents the summary of the automatic traffic recorder counts. Table 1 Liberty Street Two-Way Traffic Volumes April/May 1998 August 1998 Average Weekday(Monday through Friday) Daily(vehicles per day) 3,500 3,900 Peak Hour(vehicles per hour) 330 340 Saturday Daily(vehicles per day) 3,070 3,440 Peak Hour(vehicles per hour) 235 280 As shown in the table,Liberty Street carries between 3,070 and 3,900 vehicles per day,depending on the day of week and time of year. As expected,the August traffic volumes are higher than the April/May traffic volumes,thus reflecting additional traffic attributed to the higher visitor activity level in the summer. The weekday traffic volumes are higher than the Saturday traffic volumes during both the summer \WAWALD 05Bi2Mu4ep .TEARER.d 4 LD.05942 5942 NET OW8198932 4 120(145) Church Street 65((10) (250) 130—► h (135)280 I N r 00 .NN..v ,C) N M r r M '.National East N Park India 1 Seryice, Square' ' Visitor: Parking Cenfe�. :Garage,- (195) 10 t (85) 5--,+ rn m O Ln N v N N Ln M r 1 Essex Street Peabody d Essex y Museum i ' N a c • J v Ln W r Ln v� N v 50(40) 30 (40) Charter Street (65)110) (20)30-0- XX -AM Peak Hour Liberty Street Figure 3 (XX)-PM Peak Hour Peak Commuter Hour Traffic Volumes 'Average' Conditions Source:VHB,April 1998 and off-peak season as the roadway primarily serves commuter traffic on the weekdays throughout the year. It should be noted that the Empire parking lot located on the comer of Liberty Street and Charter Street will be closed with the museum expansion,therefore the traffic demand on Liberty Street will be even less than indicated by the traffic volume counts. Additionally,the Essex Street fair was being held along the Essex Street pedestrian mall at the time the Saturday August 1998 traffic counts were conducted, therefore the Saturday traffic volumes presented may be higher than average traffic volumes. ■ Comparison to Other Salem Roadways The traffic volumes beingcarried b Liber Street are typical of a local,low-volume Y h' YP roadway. To provide a comparison of vehicular activity on other Salem roadways, automatic traffic recorders were placed on Church Street,Derby Street,Charter Street,and Hawthorne Street for 24-hours a day for a seven-day period in August 1998. These roadways were selected to provide a cross-section of different levels of traffic activity in downtown Salem. Figure 4 summarizes the results of the data collection effort. The traffic volumes presented first represent average weekday daily traffic volumes(i.e.,an average of traffic volumes collected on Monday through Friday)for the'summer visitor'condition. The volumes shown in parentheses represent Saturday daily traffic volumes for the'summer visitor'condition. As shown in the figure,Derby Street and Hawthorne Street carry large amounts of traffic (approximately 24,000 and 17,000 vehicles per day(vpd),respectively). Church Street carries approximately 7,400 vpd on a weekday and 5,900 vpd on a Saturday. Both Liberty Street and Charter Street carry considerably less traffic volumes than other roadways in downtown Salem. Charter Street carries approximately 4,200 vpd on a weekday and 3,300 vpd on a Saturday,and Liberty Street carries approximately 3,900 vpd on a weekday and 3,400 vpd on a Saturday as reported above. ■ Traffic Diversions due to Liberty Street Closure The closure of Liberty Street will require the diversion of the traffic currently using the roadway. A review of the peak hour traffic volumes in Figure 3 reveals that the majority of the traffic on the roadway is travelling along Liberty Street to and from the East India Square and Church Street parking areas. Existing major travel routes to these parking areas,as presented in Figure 5,include: > to/from northwest(Route 128/Route 114): Route 114 to Bridge Street to Saint Peter Street to Church Street to Liberty Street; \VAFWND1Lp\059C2McsVeparls\PEANE%doc 5 LD05942 5942-DW 05RB58835 v AC A . dJ, dd 'G N Route 114 to Peabody Route 107 to Beverly and Route 128 p Q� N v N t0 3 ,cc v O e� n 7,420 = gid9eo�eC �I m (5,880) Federal Street E— v �to�esttee '', WasVNn ton S .South 3,900 ChurcbSUeet (3,440) Essex Street r n L nde Street d i o veelPeaestnan.Ma11 17,750 n 9sSexS. - - (dosing) (16,680) _� Peabody e Stret Essex Museum haAer 4,230 FSS 3 (3,260) tree `O d, Front v 71 � C o � I Norman Street(Rt 174) v �eee� (Planned) J C Decals n New Derby S C 23,400 treet . � �❑ D - (24,360) p � 11i h Stree Q � N z Route 1A to Marblehead 0 200 400 Feet � Brustfin,Inc. -� One-Way Street Downtown Salem Figure 4 XX Weekday Daily Traffic Volumes Daily Traffic Volumes (XX) Saturday Daily Traffic Volumes 'Summer' Conditions Source:VHB,August 1998 > to/from northeast(Route 107/Beverly): Bridge Street to Pleasant Street or Winter Street to Washington Square to Brown Street to Liberty Street;and > to/from south(Route 1A/Marblehead): Route IA to Charter Street to Liberty Street,or Route 1A to Washington Street to Church Street to Liberty Street,or Route 1A to Derby Street to Hawthorne Street to Essex Street or Brown Street to Liberty Street. Commuters,visitors,and local traffic will also use variations of these travel routes depending on their specific origin/destination,travel conditions,and other factors, however,these travel routes reflect the most common,direct major travel patterns to the area. Based on these general travel routes,only the traffic travelling to and from the south would be affected by the proposed Liberty Street closure. Vehicles travelling to/from the parking areas to and from Route 128 and other points to the west and north do not travel on Liberty Street,nor do vehicles travelling to Route 107 towards the east. With the Liberty Street closure,traffic travelling to/from the south would have to divert to other travel routes. This traffic has several different diversion options. The most direct routes,as shown in the solid orange line in Figure 5,are: > Route 1A to Washington Street to Church Street,and > Route 1A to Derby Street to Hawthorne Street to Essex Street or Brown Street The amount of traffic to be diverted to other roadways and added to adjacent intersections is projected to be minimal based on the commuting peak hour traffic volumes(see Figure 3). For example,approximately 110 vehicles currently travel down Charter Street and make a left-tum onto Liberty Street during the morning peal hour. These vehicles will disperse to either of the travel routes described above or to other options,resulting in negligible impacts(less than 100 vehicles per hour)to traffic operations at the adjacent intersections. Additionally,most of the diversions will occur at right-tum movements only,which are typically not the critical movements at the adjacent intersections. With the closure of Liberty Street,the Peabody Essex Museum brochure and telephone directions should be revised to direct visitors arriving from the south to the alternate routes. The closure of the portion of Liberty Street is projected to have minimal impact on visitors ability to travel throughout downtown Salem,as the majority of visitors travel to and from Salem from I-95/Route 128 and do not travel down Liberty Street. \VAAWALDLLM059C2dxs�epMa1PEAHEPt.doc E Le05911 IIIIMTP ISR IIII v v _ dN `d7 Route 114 to Peabody Roue 107 to Beverly and Route 128 /Pl m� bQ' �°ate O d v �Q oc Slee\ O m �(d9eo �v c South Federal Street F— v Sheet d washin ton S . gtonn o = tohSUeet Essex Street t G L nde Street t� Ghu 0 � � D �.

With the street closure,drop-off activity will no longer be able to occur on Liberty Street. However, this activity will be incorporated along Charter Street adjacent to the proposed new Charter Street entrance.Regular service access to the museum will continue to be from Charter Street at the existing service entrance and loading dock. Emergency access to the museum will be retained as it is currently provided via the loading dock area on Charter Street and the pedestrian mall on Essex Street. The museum staff will continue to coordinate and review plans with the city fire and police departments as the discontinuance plans proceed. Vehicular access to the Marine Arts Building and its private garage located at the comer of Liberty Street and Essex Street will continue to be provided with the street closure. Bus drop-off areas will also be provided on both Charter Street and Essex Street. The recommended bus routes are shown in Figure 6. As shown,the buses will access the bus drop-off areas along Essex Street and Charter Street via the local roadway system and will not be impacted by the closure of the portion of Liberty Street. The layover area for the buses has not been determined at this time,as the City of Salem is currently evaluating options for bus layover facilities within the City. Liberty Street Closure Impacts - Pedestrian Traffic The impact of the closure of Liberty Street on pedestrian traffic was also investigated. One of the key visitor sites in Salem is the National Park Service Visitor Center located on the comer of Liberty Street and Brown Street,across from the East India Square parking garage. Many visitors begin their visit in Salem at the Visitor Center and then either walk to their destination or board the Salem trolley. Liberty Street is currently used by pedestrians travelling between the Visitor Center and cultural and commercial establishments along Derby Street and the waterfront. With the proposed street closure, these pedestrians will be accommodated via new interior and exterior walkways along the former Liberty Street path,thus enhancing the connection to the cultural and commercial areas to the south. The interior walkway will be located within the museum along the current Liberty Street axis. This walkway will be accessible in both directions and will be identified as a pedestrian way(free of charge)from the outside at both Essex and Charter Streets. In the proposed plan,the pedestrian walkway will consist of a two-story arcade housing museum exhibits and cultural information. The exterior pedestrian connection will be provided with a new landscaped 20-foot wide park and walkway located immediately to the east of the expansion.

It is important to note that the field observations revealed that many pedestrians seem disoriented when they reach the Liberty Street/Essex Street intersection. There is currently minimal signing directing pedestrians at that location to the attractions along Derby Street and along the waterfront. An enhanced signage and orientation program will be implemented as part of the construction of the interior and exterior walkways. This program will enhance connections from the Visitor Center and museum to Derby Street and the waterfront,and will improve pedestrian orientation to all nearby landmarks,attractions and businesses. Additionally,the program can be tailored to enhance connections with the Harborfront Mater Plan currently being prepared by the City of Salem. Conclusion The closure of Liberty Street between Charter Street and Essex Street is not projected to have a significant impact on traffic operations and circulation in downtown Salem. Liberty Street is primarily used for vehicles to access the East India Square and Church Street parking areas. Vehicles travelling to/from the south currently using Liberty Street to access these parking areas have several different travel route options onto which they may divert without significantly degrading traffic operations of the adjacent intersections. These alternative routes will be highlighted through updated tourist information,telephone directions,museum brochures,etc. Vehicles traveling to and from the nearby parking facilities via Route 128 and other points to the west and north or Route 107 towards the east do not use this portion of Liberty Street. Pedestrian traffic along Liberty Street will be accommodated via an interior walkway through the museum and an exterior park/landscaped walkway to the east of the new construction. A clearly-marked,attractive signage program will be provided to enhance connections from the Visitor Center and museum to Derby Street and the waterfront,and will improve pedestrian orientation to all nearby landmarks, attractions and businesses. Based on the findings of this study,the portion of Liberty Street between Essex Street and Charter Street, as it currently exists,is not a necessary roadway to keep vehicular and pedestrian traffic moving throughout downtown Salem. As such,the discontinuance of Liberty Street will not have a noticeable effect on area traffic operations or access to parking and local businesses. Furthermore, the Liberty Street discontinuance will afford the opportunity to improve pedestrian access and circulation in this area. �wawnirnirnoaazwomU�on=��eai.ax 8 EAST INDIA SGUARE Peabody Essex SALEM, 508-745-1876 MASSACHUSETTS 5087446703 M U S E U M vx 7ED L , - SEP 30 11213 Sal&,r ._ :, ;;,; ; Dept.

The Project includes the following components: • Demolition of the existing Empire Building located at 133 Essex Street and construction of a new landscaped Public Garden connecting Essex Street and Charter Street with a pedestrian walkway. • Relocation of the 3 story brick building now located at 42 Charter Street to a new location on Charter Street approximately 380 feet east of it's present location. • Relocation of the 3 story brick building now located at 10 Liberty Street to a new location on Charter Street approximately 250 feet east of it's present location. • Relocation of the one story wood structure now located on the corner of Charter Street and Liberty Street to a new location on Peabody Essex Museum property on the south side of Charter Street next to the Samuel Pickman House. • Demolition of the Saltonstall Building at the Peabody Essex Museum's Liberty block campus. • Construction of a new addition to the existing Peabody Essex Museum,consisting of new museum galleries,a new 191 seat auditorium, and an interior"courtyard"space that can be used for group events. This"courtyard space"consists of a long interior 3 story"pedestrian corridor"connecting the Museum's new main entrances on Essex Street and Charter Street, and a large interior courtyard to one side. The new building will be two to three stories high with the courtyard area and long central corridor covered by a large glass skylight. Mechanical Spaces will be located in the basement of the new building. The exterior of the new building will be predominantly Brick masonry,with some Granite cladding. • Renovations to the Museum's existing Central Plant Building located on Charter street, including new heating,cooling and electrical power equipment. • Foundation for the Yin Yu Tang House, an 18s'century Chinese house that will be constructed on this foundation. • Selective renovation of existing gallery and storage spaces in the existing Peabody Essex Museum's Liberty Block Campus. • Construction of a new park in the space located next to the National Park Service on the corner of New Liberty Street and Essex Street. Paor. 1 Peabody Essex Museum Ph. 2 August 11, 2000 7 Project No. • New curbs, sidewalk and street surfacing on Essex Street and New Liberty Street and new curb and sidewalk on Charter Street next to the new construction. General Procurement Information In our procurement process,we will specifically require every subcontractor to comply with the Traffic Management Plan both contractually and through a formal operational review process in which we evaluate their particular operational requirements. In addition,each subcontractor who requires occupational permits will coordinate those requirements with the project superintendent prior to application for those permits. Special Conditions 1. Police details will be provided for street work construction as necessary. 2. Proper signage as required by the Traffic and Police departments will be provided. 3. Roads and sidewalks will be kept free of construction debris,dust and dirt caused by demolition and construction. Mechanical sweeping will be performed during excavation on a daily basis. After the excavation phase additional street sweeping will be performed on an as needed basis as directed by the City of Salem. 4. The public will be separated from the construction sites by construction fencing consisting of a 6 foot high chain link fence,and some concrete jersey barriers. 5. Street utility work will be carefully coordinated with the City of Salem. The Salem Fire Department and Police Departments will be notified in advance. All possible ways of keeping fire lanes open will be a priority. 6. Construction worker parking will not be allowed on the site. All subcontractors will be encouraged to have their employees use public transportation. 7. All construction materials will be stored within the site construction fence. All work required outside the fence will be scheduled with the City of Salem Police Department and abutters. 8. Queuing of trucks will be allowed only on Charter Street between Central Street and Hawthorne Boulevard,as shown on Construction Traffic Plan, TSK-LOG-9, dated 3/24/00. 9. Snow will be removed around the perimeter of the site to keep temporary walkways open for pedestrians, and roadways passable for vehicles. 10. Deliveries to the jobsite will be held to a minimum for the 5 days prior to and the day of Halloween,October 31,of each year. Construction Vehicle Routing Construction Traffic Plan TSK-LOG-9(attached), shows the traffic routing that the subcontractors, suppliers,vendors, etc.will be required to follow when delivering materials to the project site. Deliveries will be made generally via Routes 114 or IA to Derby Street then to Hawthorne Street then to Charter Street. Alternatively,deliveries may approach the site from the north by taking Bridge Street to Winter Street to Hawthorne Street to Charter Street. In either case, if any trucks need to queue up while waiting to enter the project site, it will be done on Charter Street between Lafayette Street and Hawthorne Blvd. A limited amount of Truck traffic will approach the project site via Essex Street in order to service those construction activities associated with the new Main Essex Street entrance to the Museum, and with the sitework on Essex Street and the new Armory Park.
