Thank you for sending me the Dewberry and Davis report of November 22,
1983, for the Analysis of Projected Levels of Traffic Service Based on
the Expansion of the CIA Headquarters.
I have some initial comments on the report and they are enclosed.
Unfortunately, I will be out of town during the November 30, 1983,
meeting.
Sincerely,
John F. Byrne
Superintendent

Of the three possible conditions examined - two assume no capacity
restraint at the I-495/GWMP interchange. How is removal of this constraint
to be accomplished? The traffic study is supposed to provide input to
enable "real life" improvements to be made. If 1-495 is at or will be-
at Service Level F even with No Build then what good will improving the
access ramps to 1-495 accomplish?
The study suggests that the I-495/GWMP interchange ramps are faulty (see
pages 8 and 12, items 1 and 2). The words used are ". . . locations
where the future levels of service are not likely to be acceptable and
where improvements are likely to be necessary." I submit that the real
problem is high demand for 1-495 which operates at or near Level F
during rush hours. Since improvement to the I-495/GWMP interchange will
not improve service on 1-495, I do not see how this work will solve or
even affect the CIA user (or other user) problems here.
