! I ! I1 ! ! ! ! i I Traffic Forecasts The Build year for the proposed development is 2006. Trip generation for the sites was determined using the Trip Generation Manual, 7th Edition, Institute of Transportation Eng/neers, 2003. Trip generation rates were evaluated for the site uses, using data for Single Family Detached Housing (210). This rate was applied to the proposed sites. The proposed trip generation was added to the 2006 traffic counts. The Kelly Acres site currently has two houses on the property, which will be kept in conjunction with the development of the property. The Rum R./ver Prairie site does not have any development. The resulting A.M. and P.M. trip generation is shown in Table 1.

The distribution of the generated trips was based on the current traffic pattern in the area. The majority of traffic generally heads south on Armstrong Boulevard. The trip generation volumes were distributed to the intersections being analyzed and followed the general pattern of current traffic. The New Development trips were added to the Forecasted volumes to create the Build volumes. The Build volumes for 2006 are shown in Figure 3.
