Dear Ms. LaBreche:
Barton & Loguidice, D.P.C. (B&L) has completed a first review of the following reports and information
for 182 Excelsior Avenue site plan:
Traffic Analysis dated September 6, 2023 as prepared by MJ Engineering and Surveying.
This review was conducted on behalf of the City of Saratoga Springs. The above referenced documents
and information were reviewed only with respect to our scope outlined in our task order/proposal. This
letter supplements site plan review comment letter issued on November 3, 2023 sent separately.
Traffic Study
1. Table 1 on page 2 of 6 references Excelsior Avenue and Excelsior Spring Avenue having
functional classifications as Urban Major Collectors. The NYSDOT Traffic Data Viewer identifies
these roadways as Urban Local (19), please consider revising.
2. Intersection descriptive text on page 3 of 6 references some intersection corners that appear to
be incorrectly identified (i.e. northwest corner verses northeast corner, etc.).
3. Trip Generation section on page 4 of 6 (last sentence) references “five (6) exiting”. Please revise
the text to be consistent with Table 6.
A word version of his letter has been provided to assist with the response letter to these relatively minor
comments with subsequent responses below cut and pasted comments from herein.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our office.
Sincerely,
BARTON & LOGUIDICE, D.P.C.
