levels projected by- COG for the various traffic zones within <br /> the Stockton metropolitan area. The data developed as part <br /> of this analysis for Census Tracts 24 and 25 has been <br /> included. Information contained in the 1980 census data for <br /> the City of Stockton has been used to provide guidance on <br /> the likely level of primarily employment-related travel <br /> outside the local region during the peak hour. <br /> Two distribution estimates have been developed - one for <br /> residential traffic and one for non-residential traffic. <br /> The resulting trip distribution assumptions used in this <br /> analysis are presented in Table IV for the study ' area. <br /> Similar, though slightly different, percentages have been <br /> used to distribute the traffic generated in Census Tract 24 . <br /> Projected Peak Hour Traffic Volumes <br /> Applying the trip generation rates and trip distribution <br /> patterns presented above to the project and cumulative <br /> development, projected traffic volume increases have been <br /> estimated. Assignment of traffic to the various streets has <br /> been done by considering the shortest travel time paths <br /> between origins and destinations. <br /> The intersection diagrams of Appendix A present the added <br /> traffic volumes at the key locations . The component labeled <br /> as -A- represents traffic to be added by the Golf Course <br /> Terrace development only. The component labeled RB" <br /> represents traffic to be added by the combined cumulative <br /> (buildout) development in Census Tracts 24 and 25. <br /> Projected Existing-plus-Project Traffic Conditions <br /> The traffic volumes to be generated by the proposed Golf <br /> Course Terrace development were added to the existing <br /> traffic levels and the resulting V/C ratios and levels of <br /> service at the key intersections were determine8 using the <br /> procedures described earlier . This is the existing- <br /> plus-project analysis case. <br /> Table V presents the results for this analysis case, along <br /> with the existing conditions for comparison. The projected <br /> conditions assume that no changes are made to the existing <br /> roadways or intersections which would increase the existing <br /> capacities . <br /> These results indicate that the Golf Course Terrace project <br /> will add incrementally to the volume/capacity ratios at all <br /> key intersections . Service level changes will occur at five <br /> of the sixteen intersections analyzed. Six of the key <br /> �jL JOsephR.Holland 5 Consulting Traffic Engineer <br />
