The no-build alternative <br />would not develop Rice Creek Parkway connecting CR I and CR J. <br /> <br />Proposed Proiect - Mixed-Use Development <br /> <br />The traffic impacts of the proposed project have been evaluated based on the following <br />methodology: <br /> <br />. Trip generation - The number of vehicle trips that will be generated by the proposed <br />project are estimated using standard rates for similar land uses, <br />. Trip distribution - The geographic origins and destinations of site generated traffic are <br />estimated based on the roadway system and patterns of development in the metropolitan <br />area. <br />. Traffic assignment - The site generated traffic is assigned to the street system in <br />accordance with the trip distribution and added to background traffic to estimate future <br />traffic volumes. <br />. Intersection analysis - The future traffic volume forecasts are analyzed to determine <br />intersection level of service. <br /> <br />WISP ARK Rice Creek Corporate Park <br />Draft EIS <br /> <br />December 10. 1998 <br />Page 64 <br /> <br />I <br />-I <br />. <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />el <br />I <br />1 <br />I <br /> <br />e <br />
