Re: Traffic Management Plan for Casa View Elementary School in Dallas, TexasDeShazo Project Number 15190
INTRODUCTIONDeShazo Group, Inc. (DeShazo) is an engineering consulting firm based in Dallas, Texas providing licensedengineers skilled in the field of traffic/transportation engineering. The services of DeShazo were retained byMasterplan on behalf of the Dallas Independent School District to provide a requisite traffic managementplan (TMP) for the Casa View Elementary School campus located at 2100 N. Farola Drive in Dallas, Texas. Theschool is currently in operation at the subject site with an enrollment of approximately 712 students in PreKindergarten through grade. The school proposes to do a minor floor area expansion of the currentfacilities for additional classrooms; however, enrollment is not expected to increase by more than 31students. A proposed site plan provided by Masterplan is attached for reference.
The school property is currently zoned R-7.5(A). In order to gain entitlements for the proposedimprovements, DISD is seeking approval of a zoning change to a Planned Development District. If approved,the implementation of the proposed site and operational modifications are anticipated to take place beforethe start of the 2017-2018 school year.
As part of the approval process for Planned Development District, submittal of a TMP to the City of Dallas isrequired as a record of the preferred strategies to be used by the school to ensure overall traffic safety andefficiency. A TMP is intended to assess the existing and/or anticipated traffic conditions at the school duringthe morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up peak periods on the basis of satisfying these objectives. Byconsent of the TMP submittal, the school is agreeing to the strategies presented herein for which the schoolwill be held self-accountable until and unless the City of Dallas deems further measures are appropriate.

TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLANA Traffic Management Plan (TMP) is important to safely achieve an optimum level of traffic flow andcirculation during peak traffic periods associated with student drop-off and pick-up. By properly managingthe vehicular traffic generated during the critical periods, the safety and efficiency of other modes of travel —
including walking — will also inherently improve, and the operational impact on the public street systemshould also be minimized. The TMP should not be considered a comprehensive set of instructions to ensureadequate safety; however, it should be used as a tool to facilitate a safer and more efficient environment.
The analysis summarized below utilizes the proposed school site plan to evaluate aspects such as passengerloading/unloading and vehicle queuing (i.e., stacking) that occur at the school in order to accommodate theobserved peak demands within the site. A concerted effort and full participation by the schooladministration, staff, students, and parents are encouraged to provide and maintain safe and efficient trafficoperations. [NOTE: In this report the term “parent” refers to any parent, family member, legal guardian, orother individual who is involved in the pick-up or drop-off of one or more students at the school.]
School Operational CharacteristicsTable 1 summarizes the known operational characteristics for Casa View Elementary School assumed in thisan a lys is:

NOTE #1: To the highest degree practical, the accounts of “existing conditions” presented in this report werebased upon actual on-site observations conducted by DeShazo during typical school day(s) conditions and frompersonal interviews of school representatives. The analyses and recommendations presented in this report for“proposed” or “future” conditions were based upon evaluations of “existing conditions” and may besupplemented by DeShazo’s professional judgment and experience. “Proposed”/”Future” conditions areintended to reflect the anticipated day-to-day conditions at full occupancy.
NOTE #2: Occasional functions or other events may be held at the school, which generate traffic outside of thetraditional peak drop-off and pick-up periods. While some of the measures presented in this report may beapplicable in such cases, traffic characteristics other than those directly associated with the primary drop-offand pick-up periods are not the subject of this analysis.

Existing Traffic Conditions
Site Access and Circulation
The subject site currently provides a small parking area for faculty and staff, which is accessed fromMonterrey Drive. However, no on-site area is available for student loading and unloading—allloading/unloading takes place within public rights-of-way. The site is also part of an entire block thatcomprises the school and an adjacent park. All adjacent public streets are two-lane, undivided roadwayscurrently operating in both directions. Considering the need for waiting areas associated with student pickup activities, parents currently park and/or stand on public streets surrounding the subject block.
Passenger Unloading/Loading and Vehicle Queuing
During the afternoon pick-up period, the vast majority of students are transported by parents in personalvehicles. The school does not provide a loading station for students. Currently, vehicles approach the schoolfrom different directions and park on both sides of the streets. School faculty and staff facilitateloading/unloading of students to/from the school property by mustering their corresponding group towardsthe edges of the school property. Staff also carries small signs with their name and grade for parent to betteridentify students’ grade group. However, once in position, students are dismissed with the ability to exit theschool property through one of several access points. There are six breaks along the fence facing MonterreyDrive and Itasca Drive through which students exit towards their pick-up vehicles.
The vast majority of students are transported by parents who drive personal vehicles and drop-off/pick-uptheir children. The surrounding streets become very congested with vehicles during the correspondingmorning and afternoon periods; however, conditions are generally very orderly.
Based upon field observations conducted by DeShazo during typical school-day conditions in Fall 2015, thepeak number of parent-vehicles accessing site during the afternoon pick-up period was approximately 200,including vehicle in queue or parked on-street.
NOTE: The same operation is in effect during the morning; however, the overall volume of vehicles is less concentrated during themorning, so the peak vehicle demand are lower than in the afternoon. Therefore, detailed analysis results are based upon theafternoon pick-up period.
RecommendationsThe following recommendations are provided by DeShazo to Casa View Elementary School for themanagement of vehicular traffic generated by the school during peak traffic conditions. [NOTE: Generally,traffic delays and congestion that occurs during the afternoon pick-up period is notably greater than thetraffic generated during the morning drop-off period due to the timing and concentration characteristics. Inmost instances, achieving efficiency during the afternoon period is most critical, while the morning trafficoperations require nominal active management. Therefore, except where stated otherwise, therecommendations provided herein pertain specifically to the afternoon period operations.]
School faculty will continue to dismiss students through three access points on each side of the property(Farola Drive, Monterey Avenue, and Itasca Drive). Additional general recommendations will also betteraccommodate the traffic needs of the school and facilitate an enforceable and safe management plan:

• To maximize personal safety, passenger loading/unloading within the public right-of-way shouldstrive to only occur in areas designated the City of Dallas.
• To minimize liabilities, no persons other than deputized officers of the law (including crossing guards)should engage or attempt to influence traffic operations in public right-of-way.
• The full cooperation of all school staff members, students, and parents is crucial for the success of aTraffic Management Plan. Proper training of school staff on the duties and expectations pertainingto the Plan is recommended. Sufficient communications at the beginning of each school term (andotherwise, as needed) with students and parents on their duties and expectations is alsorecommended.
Although traffic congestion is appreciable under current condition, there is no known history of trafficaccidents. Based upon DeShazo’s review of the proposed site conditions and the anticipated needs of trafficduring peak conditions, it is recommended that the proposed circulation plan and traffic operations bemaintained. The existing conditions are also a result of an investment in resources and refinements made bythe school and by the City of Dallas over many years. Given that the traffic demands are not expected tochange and no additional resources or space expansion options are available, the status quo is considered toprovide the best alternatives and has the advantage of familiarity. Exhibit 1 provides a graphical summary ofthe existing/recommended circulation plan.
SUMMARYThis TMP is to be used by Casa View Elementary School to provide safe and efficient transportation ofstudents, staff, and faculty to and from the site. The Plan was developed with the intent of optimizing safetyand efficiency and the goal of accommodating vehicular traffic generated by the school at peak trafficperiods within the site. The details of the TMP shall be reviewed by the school on a regular basis to confirmits effectiveness.
