Walgreens proposed a new pharmacy store to replace ±12,500 square feet of space in an existing retail center. As the Town of Mt. Pleasant’s traffic engineering consultant, Cameron Engineering reviewed the submitted traffic impact studies and site plans, met with the Applicant and with Town representatives, performed an independent accident analysis and trip distribution and assignment analysis, and made recommendations to the Planning Board regarding necessary changes to site access, parking, and circulation.

This site is a 104,000± s.f. shopping center on the southeast corner of Routes 347 and 112. The client proposed to expand the shopping center, while the New York State Department of Transportation proposed to acquire portions of the site through eminent domain and build a new connecting roadway. Cameron Engineering was involved for several years in modifying these proposals to provide room for the proposed new State roadway, a modified expanded shopping center with adequate site access and parking, and a new Town park.

Tasks involved parking studies of the property; trip generation comparisons; design of the new State roadway to provide suitable alignment while maximizing the size of the new park; on-site drainage design to coordinate with changing NYSDOT recharge needs; ongoing coordination between the client, the local civic association, and the numerous municipal parties; site plan development of the expanded retail center; design of the proposed park with pedestrian connections to neighboring uses; aid in the development of the Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) that details the items required by each of the four primary involved parties; development of the required “land exchange” to legally enable the proposed changes; assistance with the applications to the Town; and Construction Phase assistance including multi-phased construction staging plans and contractor coordination.
