Chris Seigle November 30, 1988 Page 3 n Assumptions regarding the directional orientation of traffic which is generated by the project. The use of this information is further discussed in the sections which follow. TRAFFIC GENERATION The t generation. eneration. of the project was considered in terms of the peak tout- raf- fic hour on Lexington �`',enue, (4:30 PM to 5:30 PM) and the peak inbound and00 PM bound traffic generation periods of the project (7:30 AMoto 8:00 ese M an periods to 2:30 PM, respectively.) Tra fic generation for described below. The estimated traffic generaticn of the project for the 4:3PMP to 5:30hour trips are period is shown in Exh ibit 3.

Traffic generation for the residential units was based on ITE counts of multiple -family residential dep velo ments, according to the number of parking spaces provided. It is expected that each unit will accommodate eight students.
