• Study revised to reflect the new building location – Building program and services remain constant for patient and employee
volume assumptions • “Up to 17,500 SF” for purpose of trip generation and parking
– New site actually: ± 15,500 SF
• Continued repurposed space within Hospital
• Findings: – Anticipated traffic generation/trip distribution
• Project will result in minor increase in vehicle trips on roadways – Improvement to onsite parking capacity
• Increase of +4 spaces over existing condition • +65 spaces over previous building location • Proceeding with removal of onsite student parking
Traffic and Parking: reflecting new location

• The full-build Project net-new generated trips are approximately 35-40 vehicles/hour during weekday peak periods – As a comparison, the intersection of Governors Ave/Lawrence Rd
processes 1,750-1,800 veh/hr during peak periods
