We are submitting this letter to express our general support for the project, and to state that CDTA and the developer are committed to working together to provide transit service to and from the Tait Lane Reserve development. Recent changes to our route system due to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic Georgeanna M. Nugent have made it difficult to predict what specific types and levels of service will be Chairwoman viable in the coming years. Service to this development may take the form of any Saratoga County of CDTA's current or future mobility products, including (but not necessarily limited to) our vanpooling partnership with Commute with Enterprise, our Flex Michael J.Criscione on-demand service, and a traditional fixed bus route. Vice Chairman Albany County We also believe that CDTA's Universal Access program would be a good fit for Jayrne B. Lahut this development.This program allows businesses and property owners to provide Treasurer free access for their employees and/or tenants to any route in CDTA's wide- Schenectady County ranging network. Universal Access improves employee and tenant attraction and retention, while also allowing the developer to save money that would otherwise Mark Schaeffer be spent on building and maintaining parking facilities. Secretary Albany County CDTA will continue to coordinate with The LA Group to determine and develop David M.Stackrow the best service or combination of services for the area as this project moves Rensselaer County forward, as well as the potential for a Universal Access partnership. Denise A.Figueroa Thank you for including us in the review process for this proposal.

Prior to performing the Traffic Study,the proposed use of Tait Lane must be evaluated by a professional transportation engineer with a focus on traffic safety considerations.Tait Lane is a substandard travel way that has an especially difficult intersection point with Allen Drive that is only 15 feet back from Allen Drive's interaction with Church Street(NYS RT-9N). The Traffic Study, in addition to the standard information that primarily focuses on peak hour conditions, should include a projection of the total Daily Vehicle Trips,for both weekdays and weekends, that will be generated on Allen Drive under full build out conditions, and a 5-year past accident history for the intersection of Allen Drive at Church Street(NYS RT-9N).Allen Drive is classified as a local residential street which primarily consists of multi-family homes with children.The street currently has a significant lack of sidewalks, which requires residents to walk and bike in the street.The Traffic Impact Study should also identify and take into consideration any currently planned redevelopment of the properties along Allen Drive for determining future conditions. 3/7/2019 Zimbra Zimbra lisa.watkins@saratoga-springs.org Re: New PB Application Recieved: 20190187 Allen Drive Apartments From :John Catone <jcatone@saratogapolice.org> Wed, Mar 06, 2019 09:46 PM Subject : Re: New PB Application Recieved: 20190187 Allen Drive Apartments To : Lisa Watkins <lisa.watkins@saratoga-springs.org> No Concerns John T.
