<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />~;fLt J~ <br /> <br />6.0 Traffic Forecasts <br /> <br />This section describes the process for generating the traffic forecasts for the key <br />intersections based on the proposed site development. The traffic forecast process <br />consisted of the following key components: <br /> <br />Existing traffic volumes <br />Background traffic growth <br />Amount of site generated traffic <br />Distribution of site generated traffic <br /> <br />The existing traffic volumes were obtained as part of the existing condition process. <br />Traffic forecasts were developed for the Year 2002. The purpose of the Year 2002 is to <br />indicate expected traffic volumes with a complete build-out of the proposed development <br />site. <br /> <br />6.1 Background Traffic Forecasts <br /> <br />The first step of the traffic forecasting process was to determine the expected background <br />growth in traffic. Traffic growth in the vicinity of the proposed development will occur <br />between existing and Year 2002 conditions due to other growth and development in the <br />region. This growth is typically termed as "background growth" and must be accounted <br />for as part of the forecast volumes. The growth rate was assumed to be 2% per year. <br /> <br />The ambient growth rate was applied to the existing traffic volumes to obtain the <br />expected Year 2002 background traffic. <br /> <br />6.2 Traffic Generation <br /> <br />In order to estimate the traffic impacts of the proposed development, it is necessary to <br />estimate the amount of traffic that will be generated_ The planned land use for this site is <br />Walgreen's, a pharmacy/drugstore with a drive-through window. <br /> <br />6.2,1 Trip Generation <br /> <br />The trip generation was estimated using the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) <br />Trip Generation Manual. (Sixth Edition. 1997). This reference documents daily and peak <br />hour trip generation based on the type and intensity of a wide variety of land uses. <br /> <br />The proposed development is expected to generate approximately 39 vehicle trips during <br />the a.m. peak hour and approximately ]54 vehicle trips during the p.m. peak hour. The <br />specific trip generation values are presented in Table 6.2.1- ] <br /> <br />Walgreen's Traffic Impact Study <br />Draft Report <br /> <br />Traffic Forecasts <br />F ebT7Jflry 07, 2001 <br /> <br />6-1 <br />
