Additional observations will be made at the adjacent marina on a weekday and on a weekend day to determine the current demand for marina parking and dry boat storage. The existing operations of the key intersections will be evaluated with level of service calculations as described in the 1997 Highway Capacity Manual (Transportation Research Board) using the TRAFFIX software package. Collect appropriate new data at East Bayshore and the 2 Syufy driveways and compare the new data with the data in the 1999 Syufy study by Fehr & Peers. Identify the length of the left turn queue at the entrance driveway and the length of the exit queue. Task 2 - Evaluate Background Conditions Future traffic volumes from approved (but not yet constructed) developments to be provided by City Staff will be added to the existing volumes to obtain traffic volumes for Background Conditions. Estimated occupancies for the Irvine Apartment Communities and Kaufman Broad development will also be obtained from City Staff. Any funded near-term roadway improvement will be included in this analysis. Intersection level of service calculations and analysis of queuing at the theater driveways will be performed to evaluate Background Conditions and will establish the baseline for identifying project impacts. Task 3 - Evaluate Project A Conditions The amount of traffic added to the roadway system by a 280,000 s.f. office centre with multi- level parking structure will be estimated based on appropriate trip rates from Trip Generation (6th Edition), Institute of Transportation Engineers. The directional distribution of site-generated traffic on the surrounding roadways will be forecast based on the travel patterns in the area and the relative locations of residential neighborhoods. We will review the trip generation and distribution assumptions with City Staff prior to their use in the analysis. The site-generated traffic will be added to the roadway system based on the directions of approach and departure discussed above. It will be added to the background traffic volumes to represent Project A Conditions. Intersection level of service calculations will be conducted to estimate the operating levels of the key intersections during the AM and PM peak hours after completion of the proposed development. An analysis of queuing at the theater driveways will be conducted to estimate the operating levels of the key intersections during the PM peak hours after completion of the proposed development Task 4 - Evaluate Project B Conditions
