Mr. Dan O'Brien -3- August 4, 1994 <br /> the area's main access to T.H. 169. The Dodge Ave./Elk Hills Dr. intersection <br /> • consists of stop sign control of Dodge Ave., with one lane approaches on all legs <br /> except for eastbound Elk Hills Dr., which has a separate right turn lane. A 24 hour <br /> traffic count taken on Tuesday, July 26, 1994 by Benshoof& Associates, Inc. showed <br /> approximately 3,310 vehicles per day use Dodge Ave. north of Elk Hills Dr. <br /> TRAFFIC FORECASTS <br /> Trip Generation <br /> Utilizing results from local traffic studies and data published by the Institute of <br /> Transportation Engineers, trip generation rates were established for uses in the <br /> proposed new development. <br /> Next, it is important to classify trips to and from the development in terms of the <br /> following two categories: <br /> . New trips - These are trips solely to and from the proposed development. <br /> . Passby trips - These are existing "through" trips on T.H. 169 that in the future <br /> will include a stop at the proposed development. <br /> Based on our experiences for these types of retail uses and information published by the <br /> Institute of Transportation Engineers, we estimate that approximately 80 percent of the <br /> trips generated by the development would be new, while 20 percent would be <br /> considered passby. To account for multi-purpose trips, or trips that would make stops <br /> • at more than one of the businesses in the development, a five percent reduction factor <br /> was applied to the overall trip generation. <br /> Table 1 shows the p.m. peak hour trip generation and Table 2 shows the daily trip <br /> generation for the proposed development. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> P.M PEAK HOUR TRIP GENERATION PROJECTIONS FOR <br /> ELK RIVER RETAIL CENTER <br /> Trip New Passby <br /> Size Generation Ratel Trip Ends2 Trip Ends2 <br /> Use fSq.Ft.)
