The study was conducted in order to document the existing base traffic conditions in and around the site, such that traffic impacts resulting from the possible future redevelopment of the State Farm site under various land use scenarios could be estimated. The work tasks included documenting the existing roadway system adjacent to the site, conducting traffic counts to determine the existing site traffic generation and distribution and the existing peak period traffic demands at the key intersections which provide major access to/from the site, and conducting traffic analyses to determine the existing safety and capacities of key access intersections and roadways to/from the site. The key sections of the analysis are listed below and summarized in the following paragraphs. Existing Site Conditions Existing Roadway System Existing Traffic Volumes Existing Site GenerationlDistribution Capacity Analyses Safety Analyses $ Conclusions Existing Site Conditions The main office building site is bounded by Trunk Highway 36 to the north, Commerce Street to the south, TH 51 to the west and Albert Street to the east (Figure 1). Access to this site is provided via six full-movement driveways to/from Commerce Street. '"
