Per your request, I have calculated the traffic that would be generated by the original Silvara plan
(1,000 residential units, 18,000 sq. ft. of office, and 52,000 sq. ft. of retail) and the proposed plan
of 605 single family units. The following table is a summary of the AM Peak Hour and PM Peak
Hour traffic volumes. These volumes were calculated using the Institute of Transportation
Engineers Trip Generation Manual, 8th Edition.
Based on the trip generation analysis, it has been determined that the proposed 605 single
family units will generate significantly fewer trips as compared to the original multi -use plan.
The new plan would generate 50% fewer trips to Spring Mill Road. This equates to
approximately 273 fewer trips during the AM Peak Hour and approximately 399 fewer trips
during the PM Peak Hour.
The overall plan would reduce the number of trips at the critical intersections of 116 Street
and Spring Mill Road, and 116 Street and Illinois Street.
