Eli <br /> ks. .= F1k River cmvelMmmgnmrim <br /> River <br /> Mode Choice <br /> Here, trips between a given origin and destination are split into trips using different modes of travel <br /> including public transit and personal vehicles. Facilities and opportunities for transit are not expected to <br /> be provided in this area when the site is developed.There are no programmed local transit services <br /> identified and the Northstar Commuter Rail Station is too far for people to walk. Pedestrian and bicycle <br /> facilities are expected to be provided with development; however, the trips taken by bicycle or on foot <br /> are expected to be negligible compared to the amount of vehicle trips generated.This is consistent with <br /> other similar developments. As a result, mode choice is expected to remain similar to today. <br /> Traffic Assignment <br /> The final step in the process assigns the actual trips to specific routes. These routes are first determined <br /> based on the shortest travel times between origins and destinations. The assigned trip volumes are <br /> then compared to the capacity of each link to determine which links, if any, are congested. If a link is <br /> congested, and nearby routes are not, the trip was shifted to provide a better balance on the existing <br /> and proposed roadway network. <br /> 64 <br />
