• � II . EtJVIRONM�NTAL IMPACTS (Continued) <br /> _ ( <br /> � . 13. , The proposal wc,uld generate 84U to 1 ,500 vehicle- <br /> . , �trips per day. If it develops traffic according to <br /> rates noted by the Institute of Transportation Engi- <br /> neers , the total daily trip should be closer to 840. <br /> A number of retail facilities including food stores <br /> are 4•�thin short walking distance and this circum- <br /> stance may reduce trips. <br /> Froximity to Evergreen Way may encourage the new <br /> residents to use public transport in sufficient num- <br /> bers to require changes in bias schedules , but this <br /> seems unlikely. <br /> TraYfic ha�ards specific to t1�is development are ' <br /> centered chiefly cn access. While the property <br /> has two access routes - one to Cady and one to <br /> Evergreen S,'ay - either presents problems . Cady <br /> is a z�esidential street which provides good access <br /> to a fully controlled intersection. Evergreen Way ' <br /> is availab7e via Cady and Madison Street. <br /> T1�e second access is an easement to Evergreen Way <br /> through commercial property east of the site. Traffic <br /> on F.vergreen l+'ay is heavy ( 21 ,000- 23 ,000 V. T. per day) <br /> and may make left-hand turns to and from the site dif- <br /> ficult . The controlled ititersections ;:orth and south <br /> of the e.3sement access , however, provide regular gaps <br /> in traffic and Eversreen Way has a two way leY't- turn <br /> lane at this point . <br /> With some attentior, to the assignment of ,arking stalls <br /> and to the design of driveway:. , a division of traffic <br /> between these two accesses may be achieved which will <br /> mitigate the potential access hazards . <br />
