r. <br /> Existing Vehicle Queues <br /> Attachment B presents a summary of AM and PM peak hour 95th percentile queue lengths for all <br /> study intersection movements and scenarios.These queues are indicative of maximum design <br /> queues occurring during periods of peak traffic.Queue worksheets are provided in Attachment <br /> C. The City of Pleasanton's policies for vehicle queuing consider their standard to be violated if <br /> one of the two following conditions occur: <br /> • A vehicle queue is considered significant if the queue length of a left turn pocket spills <br /> back outside of the turn pocket. <br /> • A vehicle queue is considered significant if the queue length of a through movement <br /> blocks access to the left turn pocket. <br /> Project Characteristics <br /> Trip Generation <br /> Trip generation refers to the process of estimating the amount of vehicular traffic a project would <br /> add to the surrounding roadway system. Estimates are created for the peak one-hour periods <br /> during the weekday morning and evening commute hours when traffic volumes on adjacent <br /> streets are typically at their highest and the Project is expected to generate the most traffic. <br /> Trip generation rates for various land uses based on a sampling of sites throughout the United <br /> States are published in the Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Generation Manual (11th <br /> Edition).The trip generation estimates for each Housing Element Update site are presented in <br /> Table 4.These estimates also consider the existing land use that each project would remove if <br /> they were to be built; hence some of the projects may produce a reduction in total net trip <br /> generation. Based on these rates,the Project is expected to generate a total of 2,790 morning <br /> peak hour trips, 3,344 evening peak hour trips,and 42,658 daily trips. <br /> Table 4: Pleasanton Trip Generation Estimates <br /> Housing Element Projects Weekday Trips <br /> Proposed <br /> Site Number/Name Capacity AM Peak Hour PM Peak Hour I Daily Trips <br /> Units <br /> 1 —Lester 31 20 26 273 <br /> 2—Stoneridge Shopping Center 1,440 662 806 9,706 <br /> 3—PUSD—Donlon 28 19 25 264 <br /> 4—Owens(Motel 6 and Tommy T) 94 -39 -30 -71 <br /> 5—Laborer Council 54 -12 -6 93 <br /> 6—Signature Center 440 202 246 2,966 <br />
