Mike Tassano December 6, 2022 Page 13 of 39 Existing Vehicle Queues Attachment B presents a summary of AM and PM peak hour 95th percentile queue lengths for all study intersection movements and scenarios. These queues are indicative of maximum design queues occurring during periods of peak traffic. Queue worksheets are provided in Attachment C. The City of Pleasanton’s policies for vehicle queuing consider their standard to be violated if one of the two following conditions occur: • A vehicle queue is considered significant if the queue length of a left turn pocket spills back outside of the turn pocket. • A vehicle queue is considered significant if the queue length of a through movement blocks access to the left turn pocket. Project Characteristics Trip Generation Trip generation refers to the process of estimating the amount of vehicular traffic a project would add to the surrounding roadway system. Estimates are created for the peak one-hour periods during the weekday morning and evening commute hours when traffic volumes on adjacent streets are typically at their highest and the Project is expected to generate the most traffic. Trip generation rates for various land uses based on a sampling of sites throughout the United States are published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th Edition). The trip generation estimates for each Housing Element Update site are presented in Table 4. These estimates also consider the existing land use that each project would remove if they were to be built; hence some of the projects may produce a reduction in total net trip generation. Based on these rates, the Project is expected to generate a total of 2,790 morning peak hour trips, 3,344 evening peak hour trips, and 42,658 daily trips.
