<br />Mr. Dan Clumpner <br /> <br />-8- <br /> <br />December 6, 2004 <br /> <br />.. <br /> <br />Trip Distribution ano Assi2:nment <br /> <br />Distribution percentages for the proposed development trips were established based on <br />our traffic counts at the subject intersections, locations of major attractions relative to the <br />proposed site, and the surrounding roadway network. The following are the trip . <br />distribution percentages: <br /> <br />· New Trips <br />o 30 percent to ,!nd from the north on TH 169 <br />o 10 percentto and from the south on TH 169 <br />o 40 percent to and. from the west on Main Street <br />o 20 percent to and from the east on CSAH (County State Aid Highway) 12 <br /> <br />. Passby Trips <br />o A.M. Peak Hour <br />. 40. percent from the west on Main Street and to the east on CSAH 12 <br />. 60 percent from the east on CSAH 12 and to the west on Main Street <br />o P.M. Peak Hour <br />. 45 percent from the west on Main Street and to the east on CSAH 12 <br />. 55 percent from the east on CSAH 12 and to the weston Main Street <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. Diverted Trips <br />o A.M. Peak Hour <br />. 70 percent froll1 the north and to the south on TH 169 <br />. 30 percent from the south and to the north on TH 169 <br />o P.M. Peak Hour <br />. 30 percent from the north and tothe south onTH 169 <br />. 70 percent from the south and to the north on TH 169 <br /> <br />Estimated trips for the proposed development were assigned to the surrounding road network <br />based on the above trip distribution percentages to determine development volumes at the <br />subject intersectio.ns. <br /> <br />Traffic Volumes <br /> <br />As described earlier, we have completed traffic forecasts and analyses for one year after <br />full completion ofthe proposed development, i.e. 2006. Based on historic traffic growth <br />trends on TH 169, we established a five percent per year growth rate for background <br />traffic on TH 169. Similarly, a three percent per year growth rate was established for <br />traffic 011 Main Street. These growth rates were applied to existing volumes at the subject <br />intersections to arrive at 2006 no-build traffic volumes. The 2006 build volumes were <br />established by adding the proposed development volumes to 2006 no-build volumes. <br />Traffic volumes for all these scenarios during both the a.m. and the p.m. peak hours are <br />presented in Figure 3. <br /> <br />. <br />
