McMillan Sand Filtration Site, Parcel 4
Updated Loading Analysis Reflecting Harris Teeter Grocery Tenant
Overview
This memorandum provides a Transportation Statement in support of the PUD modification application for Parcel 4 at the
McMillan Sand Filtration Site PUD (Zoning Commission Case No. 13-14B).
The impetus for the PUD modification is that Harris Teeter is expected to be the tenant for the grocery component of Parcel
4. As such, slight changes to the loading plan and subsequent building design are proposed to accommodate the specific
needs of Harris Teeters operations. In addition, the Loading Management Plan included in the original Parcel 4 approval
specifically stated that the assumptions that went into developing the plan were generic, and recommended that the Loading
Management Plan be revised once a specific grocery tenant was identified to reflect their known operational requirements.
The main components of the proposed Transportation Statement are as follows:
1.
A comparison of the approved and proposed plans;
2.
A summary of loading activity at comparable Harris Teeter locations in the District, including a review of truck sizes;
3.
An analysis of potential queuing concerns along Evarts Street stretching back towards North Capitol Street; and
4.
Recommended revisions to the Loading Management Plan.
Comparison of Approved and Proposed Plans

Figure 1 provides a comparison of the approved and proposed plans, including dimensions of loading docks. AutoTURN
diagrams of truck maneuvers into and out of the proposed docks are attached to this Statement. These diagrams show
maneuvers for: (1) WB-40 vehicles (the closest standard vehicle to what Harris Teeter uses), (2) a custom Harris Teeter vehicle
based on specifications provided by Harris Teeter, (3) a SU-40 truck, which represents a larger single-unit vendor truck, and
(4) a SU-30 truck, which is similar in size to smaller vendor trucks, large residential delivery trucks, and trash trucks.

February 18, 2016
Page 3
The most significant difference between the plans is the reduction in size of the grocery loading berths. Unlike other local
grocery stores, Harris Teeter can use smaller tractor-trailers. For urban locations such as Parcel 4, Harris Teeter uses a double
tractor-trailer for transportation to the region and then breaks down the trailers to two trailers, splitting the double-trailer
into two smaller single tractor-trailers at a location outside of the city. The resulting trucks, which are shorter than traditional
tractor-trailers, are then used locally within an urban area to reach their final destination. The resulting tractor-trailers are
similar in size and maneuverability to a WB-40 truck, much smaller than the WB-67 trucks that were accommodated in the
original Parcel 4 plan, and are more typical of other grocers.
Additionally, the change to smaller trucks allows for exiting trucks to go directly back to North Capitol Street instead of
travelling around the block on McMillan internal streets or exiting via First Street to Michigan Avenue.
Projected Loading Activity

Harris Teeter provided Gorove/Slade with information on two comparable locations in the District; Jenkins Row in Hill East
and Constitution Square in NoMa. These stores have a similar loading needs as the store planned for Parcel 4. The following
describes the size, frequency and type of deliveries expected.
Size of trucks
The comparable Harris Teeter locations are served primarily by small trucks. Table 1 provides a summary of
deliveries by truck size.

As stated above, Harris Teeter stores use smaller tractor-trailers than typical grocers do, although the Jenkins Row
location can and does accommodate some larger vehicles.
Most frequent times for deliveries

Most loading activity for comparable Harris Teeter locations occurs in the morning. Although some evening and night
loading activity occurs at comparable stores, the planned store for Parcel 4 does not plan to use the loading dock
between 10pm and 6am.

Type of deliveries (Vendor vs. Harris Teeter)

At comparable Harris Teeters, deliveries are generally split into two types:
1) Harris Teeter warehouse deliveries, which are always conducted using the uncoupled, shorter single tractortrailers described above, and
Gorove/Slade

February 18, 2016

2) Vendor deliveries, of which the majority are done using small single-unit trucks (although some vendors,
particularly beverage distributors, use small tractor-trailers).

Table 4 below provides a comparison of the assumptions used to develop the original Loading Management Plan, and the
new data from comparable Harris Teeter locations. The overall activity is about the same, or slightly lower, with the main
difference being the size of the tractor-trailers making deliveries. Note that the daily numbers below are based on Harris
Teeters delivery schedule that occurs across six days per week, not seven. Harris Teeter has no deliveries scheduled on
Sundays, and Saturday activity is similar to weekdays.

Analysis of Impacts to Evarts Street Traffic from Loading Maneuver Blockages

The current Loading Management Plan has a morning loading restriction from 7:00 am to 8:30 am. The impetus of this
restriction was concern that truck maneuvering into the docks would block traffic on Evarts Street, which then could have
negative impacts to North Capitol Street. Harris Teeter has requested that this be reexamined because their loading
operations are generally spread throughout the morning hours (Table 2), and this restriction would be very onerous for their
operations. As such, this Transportation Statement includes a more detailed analysis of the AM peak hour, with the goal of
estimating how often, if ever, blockages of North Capitol Street traffic would occur, and what mitigation measure(s) would
be needed to remove the AM restriction.
The analysis was performed using the software package SimTraffic 9, building from the traffic model (Synchro) network
constructed for the PUDs Transportation Impact Study in April 2014. The analysis modeled loading operations as a mid-block
signal, with the loading dock represented as a side street at that signal running fully actuated. The signals timing parameters
were set to mimic the frequency and duration of truck loading maneuvers.
Gorove/Slade
www.goroveslade.com

February 18, 2016
Page 5
The following assumptions will be used in the traffic model:
Assume 2.68 trucks arrive during AM peak hour, translating to 6 Evarts Street blockages per hour
This assumption is based on a combination of the daily rate of truck activity and the distribution of truck activity
within that day as provided by Harris Teeter at their comparable District stores, and adding in a peaking factor of
0.85 to estimate the peak hour of activity within that 4-hour block. This calculation resulted in a projection of 2.68
trucks arriving at the dock per hour.
2.68 truck arrivals per hour translates to 5.36 truck moves per hour, so the study rounded up to 6 truck moves and
therefore 6 Evarts Street blockages per hour to be conservative.
Assume peak hour of truck activity overlaps with intersection peak hour at North Capitol Street
This is a conservative assumption, as Harris Teeter believes that the peak hour of loading activity will occur before
the peak hour of commuter traffic. Peak hour traffic volumes and North Capitol signal operations were be based on
the Synchro model developed in support of the McMillan TIS Revised Recommendations document dated April 16,
2014, which covered projected 2025 AM peak hour conditions with recommended improvements.
Assume 20 seconds of blockage per truck move

Trucks will back in to the loading dock from Evarts Street, which is a private street within the McMillan site.
Preliminary AutoTURN analyses indicate that trucks entering the dock will require a single backing maneuver.
Including time for the truck to stop and engage reverse, and at typical backing speeds, this maneuver would block
through traffic on Evarts Street for approximately 15-20 seconds in total (based on a calculation for single backing
maneuver of 60-90 feet, which at 3 mph would take 14-20 seconds). Trucks exiting the dock could exit in one forward
movement and would block Evarts Street for significantly less time, on the order of 5-10 seconds (the actual blockage
could be much less or minimal in practice as trucks could wait for gaps in traffic before exiting). Therefore, this
analysis rounded up and assumed that all 6 truck moves per hour will block Evarts Street for 20 seconds (the
simulation software assumes a constant blockage time, so instead of using a blended rate, the model used the
highest anticipated delay).
Assume random arrivals

Truck blockages were modeled as calls to the loading dock signal discussed previously. The number of calls was
distributed randomly by SimTraffic based on the 6 truck moves per hour assumption noted above, each of which
blocks traffic in both directions along Evarts Street for 20 seconds.
Results will be computed as the average of multiple runs

The report examined the observed average and 95th percentile queues present along Evarts Street, using the average
condition of 10 randomly-seeded SimTraffic simulations at the basis for this assessment. The model includes the
one-block segment of Evarts Street in question, including the intersections at One-Half Street, One-Quarter Street,
and North Capitol Street, plus all intersections along North Capitol Street between Bryant Street and Michigan
Avenue.
The main metric used to judge the loading docks impact was the westbound queue lengths at the loading dock signal, namely
whether the expected queues along Evarts Street that would occur during truck maneuvers would stretch from the loading
dock back to North Capitol Street. Table 5 shows the queuing metrics derived from the simulation.

These model results show two notable results: (1) the 95th percentile queue exceeds the stacking distance, and (2) the 95th
percentile queue is significantly larger than the average queue, indicating high variability in queue length. Prior to concluding
that the AM restriction must stay in place because the 95th queue exceeds the storage length, Gorove/Slade reviewed the
simulation model in more detail. This review found that the vast majority of times when the loading dock signal blocked
Evarts Street traffic, no issues occurred in the model. Only when the loading dock signal turned red for Evarts Street right
before the northbound left turn protected green arrow on North Capitol Street turned green did a large queue occur. This
explains the significant difference between the average and 95th percentile queues.
Based on this review, Gorove/Slade concludes that the truck restriction can be lifted during the AM peak hour as long as
trucks do not begin to maneuver into or out of the docks while the northbound North Capitol Street left turn arrow is green.
Thus instead of a complete removal of the restriction, Gorove/Slade recommends the AM peak hour restriction be changed
to a management solution. There is sufficient room on Evarts Street for a truck to pull to the curb and wait before backing
into the docks, while still allowing for two-way traffic. Thus, if a loading dock manager were to ensure that maneuvering
occurred just after the northbound North Capitol Street left turn signal turned red, then no negative impacts to North Capitol
Street would occur due to dock operations. A figure depicting this concept is attached to this Statement.

Updated Loading Management Plan

Based on the information and analysis summarized above, this Transportation Statement recommends the following changes
to the Loading Management Plan for Parcel 4.
Conceptual Plan for Parcel 4
from Original PUD
Recommended Plan for Parcel 4

with known Grocery Tenant (Harris Teeter)
A grocery store employee will be responsible for

implementing the plan. This includes ensuring the dock
meets the Districts noise ordinance, scheduling deliveries,
providing ingress and egress routes to delivery
drivers/companies, and ensuring pedestrian safety near
the dock.
Harris Teeter will designate an employee as the loading

dock manager, whose responsibilities will include ensuring
the dock meets the Districts noise ordinance, scheduling
deliveries, providing ingress and egress routes to delivery
drivers/companies, ensuring pedestrian safety near the
dock, and enforcing the AM weekday maneuvering
restriction listed below.
Harris Teeter will not use trucks large in size than a WB-40
tractor trailer. Vendors will also have the same restriction,
with the loading dock manager responsible for
communicating this to vendors.
Limited hours of operation. Due to the location of the dock

on Evarts Street close to North Capitol Street, DDOT has
requested prohibiting access during weekday mornings
during high volumes of commuter demand. Thus, the dock
hours should be limited to 6:00 am to 7:00 am, and 8:30
am to 7:30 pm. Deliveries would be allowed between 7:00
am and 8:30 am on weekends.
During the hours of 7:00 am to 8:30 am on weekdays,

trucks using the dock will maneuver into and out of the
dock beginning when the left turn signal from North
Capitol Street turns red. The loading dock manager will be
responsible for coordinating these maneuvers.
A requirement to schedule all deliveries to ensure docks

are available and impacts are minimal on
surrounding/adjacent streets.
The loading dock manager will schedule all deliveries to

ensure docks are available and impacts are minimal on
surrounding/adjacent streets.
The grocery store will issue plans to all drivers and delivery
companies. These plans include any restrictions on vehicle
size and type, the hours of operations, scheduling rules,
noise control rules, and ingress and egress routes.
The loading dock manager will issue plans to all drivers and
delivery companies. These plans will include scheduling
rules, noise control rules, and ingress and egress routes.
Pedestrian conflict abatement. Some loading docks have a

provision that a store employee will help abate conflicts
between the loading dock and pedestrians on the sidewalk
by providing signage and helping control movements
outside the loading dock while large trucks are
maneuvering into and out of the dock.
The loading dock manager will abate conflicts between the

loading dock and pedestrians on the sidewalk by providing
signage and helping control movements outside the
loading dock while large trucks are maneuvering into and
out of the dock
Coordination with the Property Manager for the senior

and multi-family residential buildings for scheduling use of
the shared dock for resident move-in and move-out.
Removed as there is no shared dock in the proposed plans.
Gorove/Slade
The loading dock will be closed between the hours of

10pm and 6am.
