17 <br />k, <br />shall be calculated.] These generated volumes <br />shall be distributed to the study area and <br />assigned to the existing roadways and <br />intersections throughout the study area. <br />Documentation of all assumptions used in the <br />distribution and assignment phase shall be <br />provided. All average daily traffic link <br />volumes within the stud area shall be shown <br />graphically. Peak hour turning movement <br />volumes--shall be shown for signalized and <br />other major intersections, including all <br />access points to the development. [Traffic <br />volumes shall be assigned to individual access <br />points.] Pedestrian and bicycle volumes at <br />school crossings and as otherwise applicable <br />shall be re noted. [Pedestrian volumes shall <br />also be calculated, if applicable. If school <br />crossings are to be used, pedestrian volumes <br />shall be assigned to each crossing.] Any <br />characteristics of the site that will cause <br />[particular] trip generation [problems shall <br />be noted] to vary significantly from average <br />rates available in published sources shall be <br />documented, including such factors as <br />diversion of passer -by traffic, internal <br />capture, _staggered work hours, or use of <br />transit. <br />(The proposed amendments are more specific <br />regarding the times for which trips for the <br />proposed development are to be estimated, <br />require graphic depiction of estimated traffic <br />volumes, and require documentation of volumes <br />that vary significantly from average rates in <br />published sources). <br />E) Analysis of Transportation Impact - The total <br />traffic demand that will result from <br />construction of the proposed development shall <br />be calculated. This demand shall consist of <br />the combination of the existing traffic [and] <br />traffic generated by the proposed development, <br />and traffic due to other developments___and <br />other growth in traffic that would be <br />ex ected to use the roadway at the time the <br />proposed development-is completed_. If staging <br />of the proposed development is anticipated, <br />calculations for each stage of completion <br />shall be made. This analysis shall be <br />performed [during] for average weekday <br />traffic, the peak highway hour(s) and if <br />a ro riate, peak development generated <br />hour(s) for all roadways and major <br />intersections in the study area. <br />[] = delete text <br />bold underline = add text <br />
