Mixed-use trip reductions from a draft version of MXD, a mixed-use trip internalization model prepared by Fehr & Peers <br /> and currently being reviewed by ITE. <br /> <br />3.4 CONCLUSIONS REGARDING TRAVEL DEMAND ESTIMATES <br /> <br />For a CEQA analysis, forecasting and analysis methods would be required that can account for the characteristics <br />of the project and its proposed circulation system, which proposes replacing long distance regional travel with <br />shorter trips, encouraging travel mode shifts, shortening local trips due to redistribution of local services and <br />opportunities and creating more efficient and less congested travel circulation routes through its new north/south <br />and east/west connections. The travel demand forecasting model used to evaluate the project should be designed <br />to meet current CEQA guidelines outlined by regional and State agencies, and be sensitive to both the regional <br />aspects as well as the internal Smart Growth features of the project. <br /> <br />Based on the ITE trip generation estimates for the project, the development would generate between 60,000 to <br />70,000 daily trips and between 6,000 to 7,000 peak hour trips depending on the internalization of trips. <br />Internalization of trips would be expected to be just under 30 percent for both daily and peak hour conditions. The <br />internalization is primarily a factor of the land use mix, but it will also be affected by such elements as the TOM <br />program. The preliminary distribution of trips to the three external connections shows higher use of the Blomquist <br />Street and proposed US 101 Overcrossing as compared to the Bayfront Expressway / Marsh Road connection. <br />Due to the size and location of the project, a portion of the project trips would replace existing trips on local and <br />regional roadways rather than all trips being directly added to existing traffic volumes. <br /> <br />11 <br />
