McBryan, P.E�LW This memorandum presents transportation analysi(of Community Transit's (CT's) proposed renovation and expansion of its Merrill Creek facility, which is located at 7100 Hardeson Road in the City of Everett (City). This analysis provides a description of the proposal, traffic and parking data collected at the site, and analysis of current and future conditions without and with the proposed project. This analysis is intended to support permit applications with the City of Everett. 1. Project Description CT has two bus bases and an administration building located within the City. The Merrill Creek site houses the Merrill Creek Operating Base (MCOB), as well as the Merrill Creek Administration Building, which serves as the current administrative headquarters for CT. The project site location and vicinity are shown in Figure 1. CT's other Everett facilities, known as the Kasch Park Operating Base (KPOB) and Kasch Park Casino Road (KPCR) are located about three miles southwest of the site and house vanpool, customer service, marketing, commuter bus services, facilities, and distribution functions. The changes proposed at the Merrill Creek site are intended to accommodate expected growth in the transit fleet size and the associated changes to employment needed for that growth. The combined site improvements are proposed to accommodate the planned relocation of some employees within the site after the administrative headquarters and related functions are relocated to the KPCR facility. The Merrill Creek Administration Building will be renovated and converted into a new operator facility and operator functions will be relocated from the MCOB building. The project would accommodate 30% growth in CT's level of service and staffing compared to current (fall 2020) conditions. The following describes the existing site and proposed changes. 1.1. Site Description The MCOB (Figure 2) occupies most of the site and serves as the primary maintenance, operations, dispatch, and storage facility for CT transit buses. It consists of large areas of transit bus parking and circulation, fleet vehicle parking, the existing 87,065-square foot (sf) Operations Building (constructed in 1997), and employee parking (totaling 325 full-size spaces plus 4 motorcycle spaces) north and west of the building. In the eastern central portion of the MCOB site, there is a single -story 4,560-sf bus wash building, a single -story 4,350-sf fuel facility building (both constructed in the mid 1990's), and an on - site physical therapy and wellness center (known as the Employee Maintenance Center (EMC)) in a modular building just south of operations building. The two-story 26,400-sf administration building (constructed in 1998), located on the southeastern corner of the site, houses executive offices and other administrative functions including: public affairs and communications; finance and accounting; purchasing; planning and development, and information technology. There are four modular buildings (constructed in 2008 and totaling 5,680 sf) located to the west of administration building and connected with a fabric canopy structure. The administration building has a parking lot located to the south and east of the building with 111 spaces. Email communication, L.
