This study surveyed local <br /> recreational areas to derive a trip generation rate based on utilized acres. As shown in <br /> Table ES-2, the recreational area has the potential to generate approximately 848 daily <br /> trips and 150 PM peak hour trips. The recreational area is not expected to generate a <br /> significant amount of traffic in the AM or school PM peak hours. <br /> Table ES-2 <br /> Recreational Area Traffic Generation (Vehicles) <br /> Land Daily PM Peak <br /> Use Land Use Intensity Hour <br /> Code In Out In Out <br /> 491 Tennis Club 12 courts 166 166 30 16 <br /> N/A Recreational Area 43.1 acres 258 258 46 58 <br /> Total Net New External Trips 424 424 76 74 <br /> According to the MSTA calculations for an Urban Charter school with 800 students in <br /> grades K-8, in the projected (2025) build-out traffic condition the school should provide <br /> enough storage to accommodate an average queue length of 3,395 feet and a high <br /> demand queue length of 4,414 feet. The proposed school plans are providing enough <br /> storage space to accommodate 4,414 feet via multiple circulation lanes around the site <br /> that merge prior to the loading and drop-off area. These lanes will also be utilized to <br /> contain the upper school high demand queue length of 2,751 feet. SimTraffic simulations <br /> of both proposed school operations show that the queueing can be contained on site. <br /> Capacity analyses were performed using Synchro Version 11 software. For the existing <br /> and background scenarios, existing PHFs were used at all intersections. For the build <br /> scenarios, a weighted PHF was used that calculated a new PHF by movement based on <br /> all school site traffic having a PHF of 0.50. Table ES-3 summarizes the operation of the <br /> study intersections for the AM and school PM peak hour traffic conditions. <br /> ES-2 <br />
