Source: Transpo Group, March 2018 1. The infrastructure phasing addresses the Marine Trades Area separate from the Downtown Waterfront, Log Pond, Shipping Terminal, and Cornwall Beach Areas. 2. The off-site mitigation represents those improvements needed to support the redevelopment. 3. Outbound vehicle trips represent peak direction of travel during the PM peak hour. This threshold represents the number of weekday PM peak hour trips that could be accommodated without additional infrastructure. 4. Approximate square footage is provided for reference and is based on the average outbound vehicle trip rate of 660 trips per 1.0 million square feet related. This is based on an average rate as seen from the 2018 Sub-Area Plan analyzed and assumes mode splits consistent with the 2008 EIS. Depending on the land use mix, the actual square footage of the development that can be accommodated could be higher or lower than shown. The PM peak hour outbound vehicle trip threshold should be used to evaluate infrastructure needs and not the development square footage. 5. The capacity assumes that infrastructure is constructed or planned such that 1) the city has completed design of infrastructure; 2) the city has secured financial commitments; and 3) the infrastructure will be constructed within a three-year period and/or transit service is actively available to new development within the Waterfront District. 6. The existing street network has 0.5 million square feet of development capacity assuming areas of the site are utilized for industrial development. |

The existing street network has 1.7 million square feet of development capacity assuming the southwestern areas of the site are utilized for industrial development, using available capacity on both Cornwall Avenue and Wharf Street. 7. The total on-site capacity would be capped at 1,100 outbound PM peak hour vehicles (approximately 2.7 million square feet) while the Cornwall Bridge is rebuilt and the railroad is relocated to accommodate anticipated traffic generation within the adopted LOS standards during construction. Alternatively, the city could allow arterials serving the site to temporarily experience higher levels of vehicle traffic congestion. Consideration should be given to traffic safety and impacts on all modes to and from the site if this were to occur. Impacts could be evaluated through the biennial monitoring. |
