The daily activity profile also shows that activity at the fuel station is consistent through most hours of the day and that the fuel station does not demonstrate typical peaking characteristics that are often found on roadways and intersections. The profile also confirms that, even though the level of internal trips between the fuel station and the Costco warehouse are lower than what was assumed in the 2006 EIR study, the Costco Gasoline fuel station is still an ancillary use to the overall Costco warehouse and approximately 80% of the daily fuel station activity occurs during the hours when the warehouse is also open (between 10 AM and 8 PM on weekdays and 10 AM and 6 PM on weekends). EXISTING FUEL STATION QUEUING & OPERATIONS Queuing and operations at the existing Redwood City Costco Gasoline fuel station were evaluated to establish a baseline for comparison with the proposed five-island fuel station. Video data was collected at the fuel station during the weekday p.m. peak period (4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.) and the Saturday midday peak period (11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.) in May 2011. Peak and average queuing was identified for both the peak periods and the peak hour observed. For the queuing, wait time, and fueling time data a summary of both peak period and peak hour (based on trip generation) Kittelson&Associates,Inc. Boise,Idaho
