Fitness Trip Generation <br />L.A. Fitness Health Club <br />RLK Project No. 2006-161-D <br />thomas.paschke@ci.roseville.mn.us <br />jsamuel@rlkinc.com <br />garyc@lafitness.com <br />kbruwelheide@rlkinc. com <br />vswing@rlkinc.com <br />This memo �vas prepared to address the potential trip generation associated with the construction of a <br />55,000 s.£ L.A. Fitness Health Club with access on Cleveland Avenue in Roseville, MN. <br />The volume of vehicle trips generated by the proposed L.A. Fitness Health Club was estimated for the <br />weekday AM and PM peak hours and on a daily basis using historical data collected by L.A. Fitness from <br />a survey of existing clubs throughout the country. Morning peak hour surveys indicate an AM peak hour <br />trip generation rate of 6.60 trips per thousand square feet of floor area with a peak hour distributional split <br />of 57% inbound and 43% outbound. Evening peak hour surveys indicate a PM peak hour trip generation <br />rate of 6.70 trips per thousand square feet of floor area with a peak hour distributional split of 61% <br />inbound and 39% outbound. The Weekday Average Daily Traffic (ADT) is forecasted at a rate of 47.75 <br />trips per thousand square feet of floor area. A graphical representation of a summary of the historical <br />L.A. Fitness Health Club data, which details each rate, is attached at the end of this memo. <br />Pass-by trip reductions were also considered in the trip generation. The pass-by trip reduction accounts <br />for trips that are attracted from traffic passing the site on adjacent streets. These pass-by trips are <br />accounted for in the turning movements at the proposed accesses as they enter and exit the site, but do not <br />result in an increase in traffic on the surrounding roadways. Per historical L.A. Fitness Data, a 20% <br />reduction to the total number of trips can be applied to the trip generation due to pass-by trips. The <br />estimated volume of site-generated trips for the land use is summarized in Table I on the next page. <br />Offices: Hibbing • Minnetonka • Ham Lake • Twin Ports <br />(452) 933-0972 • 6110 Blue Circle Drive � Suite i00 • Minnetonka, MN 55343 • FAX {952) 433-1153 <br />�quttd O��a�rturii.t�� E�irrrl�?i/er <br />
