Mr.Jerry Violett <br /> SAN JOAQUIN COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS <br /> December 8,2003 <br /> Page 2 <br /> Traffic Counts. We observed traffic in and out of each location on November 24,2003. As noted, <br /> observations at the Java Stop in Lodi were completed with no problems. The maximum number of <br /> vehicles into and out of the site in one hour was 204 trips observed between 7:30 and 8:30 a.m. All <br /> of this traffic was drive-thru,and we did not see any patrons actually stop and park at the site. <br /> Data collected at the Plantation Cafe was surprisingly similar to that collected in Lodi. The <br /> maximum number of vehicles into and out of the site in one hour was 170 trips between 7:30 and <br /> 8:30 a.m. <br /> TABLE 1 <br /> TRAFFIC COUNTS AT SIMILAR SITES <br /> Java Stop,Lodi Plantation Cafe,Elk Grove <br /> 300 sf) <br /> 2 400 s <br /> Time Trips In/Out Hourly Total Trips In/ Hourl Total <br /> 7:00 a.m. 38 - 36 - <br /> 7:15 a.m 40 - 42 - <br /> 7:30 a.m. 58 - 46 - <br /> 7:45 a.m. 42 178 38 162 <br /> 8:00 a.m. 40 180 44 170 <br /> 8:15 a.m. 64 204 42 170 <br /> 8:30 a.m. 36 182 43 167 <br /> 8:45 a.m. 38 178 43 172 <br /> Tris per 1,000 sf 680.0 70.8 <br /> 4:00 p.m. 14 - 8 <br /> 4:15 p.m. 12 - 8 <br /> 4:30 p.m. 12 - 19 - <br /> 4:45 p.m. 12 50 11 46 <br /> 5:00 p.m. 8 44 8 46 <br /> 5:15 p.m. 12 44 10 48 <br /> 5:30 p.m. 12 44 14 43 <br /> 5:45 p.m. 4 36 8 40 <br /> Tris per 1,000 sf 167 20.0 <br /> Trip Generation Forecast. San Joaquin County guidelines suggest that a study is needed if the <br /> number of "new" trips exceeds 50. This estimate of trip generation must account for both the <br /> number of vehicles that enter and exit the site and the share of that traffic that is "new" to the area <br /> street system. <br />
