The transaction counts were used to <br /> develop seasonal annual and daily activity profiles to provide further context between the time <br /> period when the counts were collected (May 2011) and activity fluctuations on the site throughout <br /> the year. <br /> Warehouse Activity Profiles <br /> Figure 1 shows the annual Redwood City Costco warehouse transaction profile, by month, as a <br /> percentage of the monthly average between November 2009 and May 2011. Figure 2 shows the <br /> annual warehouse transaction profile as a percentage of the May 2011 transactions, which represent <br /> the month when fuel station data and parking surveys were collected. <br /> Kittelson&Associates,Inc.
