| Cleveland Park -- Washington, D.C. |
 Stop and Shop, the parent company of Giant Food, plans to transform a moribund supermarket, half-vacant retail stores, and surface parking lots into a vibrant, mixed-use town center in the affluent Cleveland Park neighborhood of Washington, D.C. Street-level retail shops and four floors of apartments will be built above one level of underground parking on the North Parcel; two levels of retail shops, office space, and a modern supermarket will be built above two levels of underground parking on the South Parcel. Wells + Associates was retained by Stop and Shop to evaluate the traffic, parking, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, and loading impacts, and conduct a traffic calming study, of this proposed Planned Unit Development (PUD). Wells + Associates determined that neighborhood streets could adequately accommodate the additional trips that will be  generated by the PUD during weekday and Saturday peak hours. Wells + Associates demonstrated the adequacy of the proposed parking supply based on parking occupancy counts at the subject site and other comparable sites, local ordinances, U.S. Census data, and industry standards. The adequacy of the proposed number of loading berths was demonstrated by observations at the subject site and other comparable sites, local ordinances, and a proffered Truck Management Plan. Stop and Shop will escrow $96,000 to fund potential traffic calming measures that were identified by Wells + Associates based on vehicle classification counts, speed studies, and field observations. |
