Traffic and Circulation The Initial Study will describe the traffic and circulation impacts of the project, based upon a traffic analysis prepared for the project by Myer, Mohaddes Associates. The traffic analysis will review and update the earlier traffic study com.QI~.tedJor the project by the City Public Works DepaI't!ßent.~r!~.iQ~Diifiany--pÒtentìal--Slgnfficant tI'affic and parking impacts, as welläS'ãny- avail~ble mitigation measures. A brief description of each of the tasks is provided below:- Review of Previous Traffic Analysis and Data Collection Myer, Mohaddes Associates will review the previous traffic study prepared by the City, as well as staff reports and available data. New intersection turning movement counts will be collected at the intersection of Roosevelt Avenue and Upton Street during the AM (7:00-9:00 AM), Midday (II :30AM-I :30 PM), and PM peak period (4:00-6:00 PM). These volumes will be compared with the volumes used in the earlier Public Works Department study. The 24-hour traffic volume counts collected by the City Public Works Department for Upton- Street and Roosevelt A venue will be used. Traffic Impact Analysis Trip generation and distribution for the proposed residential development will be based on the pJevìoustr~ffic study. The trip generation will be based on rates published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers, Trip Generation, 5th edition. Level of service analysis will be performed for existing, no. project, and project conditions using the 1994 Highway Capacity Manual methodology. The no project conditions will assume that the supermarket building is re-opened. Review of project impacts to the sUITOunding neighborhood streets will be included. Parkin~ Analysis An analysis of the parking supply and demand for the project will be performed. This will include a review of the available on- and off-street parking supply in the vicinity of the project site. Air Quality The Initial Study will describe the existing climate and. ambient air quality of the project area and will identify sensitive receptors for air pollutants wlthin the project area. The project is not expected to result in significant air quality impacts, due to the low volume of traffic generated by the project. A quantitative analysis of vehicular emissions is not proposed in this scope of work, because there are less than 2,000 vehicular trips per day anticipated to be generated by the project. However, due to the presence of sensitive receptors in the immediate project site area, the project could result in temporary air quality impacts during construction.
