<br />facilities in the study area will also be inventoried and described. <br />Fehr & Peers will conduct field visits and qualitatively describe the existing on-street parking <br />supply and weekday midday parking demand in the vicinity of the project site. <br /> <br />Task 4.2c - Trip Generation, Distribution, and Assignment. Based on our previous experience, <br />published trip generation rates in Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation do <br />not accurately reflect the trip generation characteristics of Kaiser Medical Centers. Since the <br />proposed San Leandro Kaiser Medical Center would provide similar services to the existing <br />Hayward facility and both medical centers are located in similar areas, Fehr & Peers will develop <br />unique weekday daily, AM and PM, and Saturday daily and peak hour trip generation rates using <br />data collected at the existing Hayward site as part of the site planning efforts for the proposed <br />project. These rates will be applied to each phase of the project to estimate the San Leandro <br />Kaiser Medical Center trip generation. The trip generation for the retail component of the <br />project will be estimated using the ITE Trip Generation methodology. Fehr & Peers will also <br />collect data at the existing Albertson's Distribution Center and account for the trips generated by <br />the existing site. <br /> <br />As part of the site planning effort, Fehr & Peers will use the employee and member ZIP code <br />data for the San Leandro Medical Center service area, to estimate the trip distribution for the <br />proposed medical center. The trip distribution for the retail component of the project will be <br />based on the relative location of complementary land uses and the orientation of the regional <br />roadway system. The trip distribution will be used to assign the project traffic to the roadway <br />network. <br /> <br />Task 4.2d - Traffic Operations Analysis. The impacts of the proposed project on traffic <br />operations will be analyzed at the study locations using the 2000 HCM methods for the weekday <br />AM and PM and Saturday peak hours for the scenarios. Fehr & Peers will also use SimTraffic <br />simulation model to evaluate operations of the transportation system in the immediate area <br />surrounding the project site under the 2025 with Project Buildout scenario. Simulating <br />individual vehicles will allow a more detailed analysis of project impacts in the immediate <br />vicinity of the project site. The simulated area will include Marina Boulevard between Merced <br />Street and Teagarden Street, Merced Street between Marina Boulevard and Fairway Drive, and <br />Fairway Drive between Merced Street and 1-880. <br /> <br />Dowling Associates will develop AM and PM peak hour link level forecasts for the 2008, 2012, <br />and 2025 No Project scenarios. Fehr & Peers will use these forecasts to develop intersection <br />turning movement volumes for these scenarios. The resulting volume forecasts will be compared <br />to the existing intersection volumes to develop annual growth rates. These growth rates will be <br />used to develop 2010 No Project and Saturday peak hour volumes. <br /> <br />Project traffic will be added to the no project scenarios to estimate the "2008 with Project <br />Retail"; "2012 with Project Phase 1", and "2025 with Project Buildout" scenarios.
