Future traffic generated by the County campus expansion by 2005 was estimated by vehicle type by calculating the increases in the parking activity as previously described in Section 6. The future AM Peak Hour and PM Peak Hour traffic generation is summarized on Table 11. These estimates indicate that there will be about 135 net new trips in the AM Peak Hour and about 120 net new trips in the PM Peak Hour.

The background traffic growth, including some modest growth in activity at the County campus, is estimated at about 3% per annum over the four year period to 2005. In addition, local traffic volumes were adjusted to reflect the closure of Lombard Avenue to accommodate immediate development of the Everett Special Event Center. Traffic generated by the Special Event Center in the AM and PM Peak Hours is expected to be negligible according to the traffic analyses recently completed. but traffic currently using Lombard Avenue for other purposes will need to be diverted on adjacent streets such as Broadway and Oakes Avenue. The 2005 No-Build traffic volumes for the ten intersections are provided in Appendix A and the local turning movements are illustrated on Figures 7 and 8 for the AM and PM Peak Hours respectively. Level of service analyses were also completed for the No-Build alternative as shown on Table 12. These analyses indicate that there is minor deterioration of the level of service at a few intersections but improvement in the level of service at Pacific and Lombard.
