T�' � ECC Athletic Facility Traffic Analysis ,l�� December 30, 2008 Tr utiMt,Inc. (Reuised June 12, 20091 Page 2 of 3 which includes amenities such as a cafeteria, library, and athletic faciliry. It is not only exhemely di(ficult to isolate trips generated by any individual facility or on-campus service. The existing 151 parking stalls are located on the north end of the site and are typically underutilized except for scheduled games. The parcel containing the existing athletic facility is being transferred to Providence Hospiial and will be demolished as the Hospital expands its Colby campus. The existing campus parking supply consists o(1,919 stalls. This includes 300 parking stalls +n the College Plaaa shopping center lo!s on the east side of Broadwoy that are currently undcrutilized. PROPOSflD FITNESS CENTER The proposed fitness cenler will be located on-campus immediately east of the new lransit center on an existing surface parking lot. Active areas within the 49,819 SF faciliry will include a gymnasium, climbing wall, fitness and weight room, an indoor running frack, and multi-purpose room. In addition, there will be support sparn for offices, meeting rooms, locker rooms, and other common spaces. The majer change in programs is that the new facility will include an indoor track and that the basebalU soccer field and tennis courts will not be replaced. All ECC baseball and soccer team practices and games will be held of(- campus. The fitness center will be used by (aculry,staff, and students that are already on-campus. It is a replarnment faciliry that is an ameniry ro the campus in the same context as the campus library, cafeteria, and other s�pport facilities. ITE PM peak hour hip generation rates for a community college land use are based on the number of students (0.12 trips per student) or the size oF campus buildings (2.54 trips per 1,000 SF�. Because the fitness center is not associated with an innease in the campus population ihere would be not increase in hips generated by the ECC based on lhe student trip rate. From the square footage perspecfive, the proposed fitness center is approximately 9,500 5F larger than the existing faciliry and it could be argued that il could generate an additional 24 PM peak hour trips based on the rate per 1,000 SF. Without doubt the proposed larger and on-campus fitness center would receive more use than the eristing faciliry. However, the increased use would come hom people lhal are already on-campus and it wotdd not generale new hips. In fact, it could be argued that lhere woulcl be a slight decrease in trips since any vehicle hips between the campus and the existing facility would be removed from the local road nehvork. Furlhermore,there would be (ewer games omcampus and trips generated by sporting events would be reduced proportionally. It is concluded that the proposed fitness center would not add any new lrips to the local road nehvork. The campus parking requirement will remain at 1,919 stalls since the student FfE level is forecasted to remain at 2007 levels. The fitness center will be constructed on existing sudace parking lots resulting in the loss of some parking stalls. The campus parking supply will \ !
