• Subiask 2. Data Collection Existing AM and PM peak-hour traffic volumes will be obtained from the recent Stanford EIR that was conducted in the project vicinity. Any additional counts will require authorization and additional budget. In addition, information on approved projects will be obtained from the Stanford EIR. • S�task 3. Evaluation of Existing Conditions The existing operations of the key intersections will be taken from the Stanford EIR. All intersections will be evaluated using TRAFFIX software in accordance with the 2000 Highway Capacity Manual methodology. • S�l�hask 4. Evaluation of Background Conditions Background traffic conditions will be obtained from the Stanford EIR. � Subtask 5. Site Traffic Projections Based on the size of the proposed development, site- generated traffic will be estimated using the vehicular trip generation rates recommended by the Institute of Transportation Engineers' manual, Trip Generation, 8th Edition. The directional distribution of site-generated traffic will be forecast based on existing travel patterns and relative locations of complementary land uses in the area. All site- generated traffic will be assigned to the roadway network based on the directions of approach and departure discussed above and the points of site access. • S�blask 6. Evaluation of Project Conditions Project-generated traffic will be added to: (1) existing and (2) background traffic volumes. Intersection level- of-service calculations will be conducted to estimate the operating levels of key intersections during the AM and PM peak hours after completion of the proposed development under existing-plus-project and background-plus-project conditions. • S�l�hask 7. Site Access and Circulation A planning-level site circulation and access review will be conducted to determine the adequacy of the proposed site plan in accordance with generally accepted traffic engineering standards. This will include a quantitative analysis of anticipated traffic volumes and sight distance at the site's driveways, as well as a qualitative analysis of the proposed site circulation. Parking supply and layout will be evaluated in accordance with the Redwood City parking code. The study will include a description of how the parking demand would vary throughout the day with the health club based on data from similar health clubs in a similar setting. Pedestrian, transit, and bicycle travel will also be evaluated on site and within the surrounding vicinity. • S�.blask 8. Evaluation of Cumulative Conditions Potential traffic associated with other proposed development in the area will be estimated. Cumulative traffic estimates will be taken from the Stanford EIR traffic study. Intersection level-of-service calculations will be performed to evaluate ATTY/AGR/2012.154/24 HOUR CONTRACT/ATKINS NORTH AMERICA REV:09-19-12 JS Page 19 of 26
