Collector roadways carry a moderate volume of traffic at moderate speeds. Property access is an appropriate function of this facility, provided it does not inhibit local traffic movement. Municipal/City (Minor) Collector - Similar in function to that of a major collector, a minor collector is intended to serve a smaller geographic area. It often connects to major collectors and arterial roadways. Property access is generally a significant function of this facility. The City of Satellite Beach has designated collectors as shown on the Existing Roadways Characteristics Map. Local - A roadway or street having the primary purpose of providing access to adjacent property. Mobility is a secondary function. Average speeds and volumes are low; trips are usually of short duration with a purpose of connecting with a higher order facility. A local road should not carry through traffic. The trip being served should originate or be destined for the immediate surrounding area. Lane Geometry The number of through-lanes that exist within the City of Satellite Beach at this time are depicted on the Existing Roadways Characteristics Map. The existing number of lanes are also shown for arterial and collector roadways within the City. All other roadways are two (2) lanes. Traffic Signals The Existing Roadways Characteristics Map shows the location of the six (6) signalized intersections within the City of Satellite Beach. Level of Service/Roadway Capacity/Service Volumes Roadway Level of Service (LOS) is a qualitative measure of the efficiency of roadway operation. LOS is generally described through the assignment of highway segment or intersection operating “grades” ranging from LOS “A” (excellent) to LOS “F” (poor). A summary LOS grade is assigned through a quantitative comparison of traffic volume relative to roadway capacity. Highway capacity constitutes, under controlled conditions, the maximum number of vehicles which could pass a given point within a given period (usually daily or peak hour). Service volume relates to the number of vehicles that could be anticipated to pass the same point with less driver duress - that is, at a desired level of service. Existing Traffic Volumes The City is served by two north-south arterials and several collector roadways. Because of the City’s residential nature and constraints due to its geography, this roadway system provides the necessary means of circulation within and among residential areas; the City has also undertaken an ambitious effort to develop a network of paved, off-road pedestrian/bicycle paths (i.e., sidewalks) within rights- Transportation Element Data and Analysis 2-3
of-way that provide an alternative to automotive travel. There are no limited access thoroughfares, airports, ports, or railroads within the corporate limits. As shown in Table 2-1, the City’s major roads are maintained and operated by agencies other than the City of Satellite Beach. S.R. A1A and S.R. 513 (South Patrick Drive) are the maintenance responsibility of the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). The local collectors listed in the table are the responsibility of the City of Satellite Beach. The City has adopted a LOS of “C” for all arterial and collector roads in the peak traffic hour. Table 2-2 shows the annual average daily trips (AADT) generated on the FDOT maintained roadways within Satellite Beach as well as those forecasted for 2009, 2014 and 2019. The 2008 counts show that some segments of roadways are below the City’s LOS standards. However, there are FDOT maintained roads and within the FDOT LOS standards. Need for Existing Facility Upgrades The issue of strengthening storm evacuation and post disaster reconstruction policies is based on two primary areas: 1. Minimize vulnerability; and 2. Maximize preparedness for hurricanes. Over the past five years, there has been record setting hurricane activity in the State of Florida. In 2004 there were 15 named storms with eight strengthening to Hurricanes. In 2005 there were 27 named storms with 14 strengthening to hurricanes. This has caused a general state of heightened awareness regarding hurricane preparedness, response, and recovery. Lessons learned from communities that suffered the impact of a direct catastrophic hurricane strike demonstrate that the City of Satellite Beach must be vigilant in its preparation for potential hurricane impacts and that intensive and ongoing intergovernmental coordination before, during, and after a hurricane strike at the local, regional, state, and federal levels is key to successful mitigation, response, and recovery. The coastal location, built out condition, and significant investment on Satellite Beach results in the need for the City to be highly sensitive to its vulnerability to hurricanes. The City of Satellite, as well as the entire Space Coast Region, has been very fortunate over the past few years to avoid a direct strike by the numerous hurricanes that have crossed the State resulting in devastating losses for those directly struck. Nevertheless, impacts of these hurricanes were felt within the Space Coast Region with areas experiencing loss of power, flooding, and relatively minor damage. While the entire City is vulnerable to the most intense hurricanes, susceptibility to the effects of a Category 1 storm is limited to the immediate Atlantic coastline where the Coastal High Hazard Area (CHHA) includes some properties as close as 100 feet east of A-1-A. Most of the properties that may be affected by a Category 1 hurricane in this area are residential, although there are some commercial, recreational, and public/semi-public types of uses. All properties in the City that are located west of South Patrick Drive (SR 513) fall within the CHHA. This includes the entire park/conservation area and the residential uses to the north and Transportation Element Data and Analysis 2-4
