TO : City Engineer
FROM: Consulting Transportation Engineer
DATE : August 7, 1979
SUBJECT: Proposed Drive-through at Kentucky Fried Chicken
Of the numerous plans that have been submitted, only the attached plan
comes close to being acceptable. However, I still find the plan unsat-
isfactory for the following reasons:
1. The turning radii scale to 16 feet, which is less than the 20-foot
radii that I normally consider a minimum.
2. When a motorist exits from the drive-through onto Elm Avenue, his/
her vehicle may not be clear of an incoming vehicle.
3. Adequate storage for drive-through vehicles still has not been pro-
vided - any more than four cars will block vehicular movement through
the parking lot.
4. Previous studies have indicated that when drive-through facilities are
incorporated in fast food restaurants, the overall traffic generated
by that use usually more than doubles.
There is no diiect route from the parking lot into the restaurant with-
out crossing the drive-through lane. 5.
6. Since Elm Avenue and the downtown area will hopefully continue to gen-
erate more pedestrian traffic, it is important to minimize the pedes-
triadvehicular conflicts wherever possible.
