TRIP GENERATION AND DISTRIBUTION Trip generation estimates for the Recreational Facility were developed based on Boeing's estimate of the number of users. Boeing's estimate of 1,000 peak day users is derived from past experience at their other recreational facilities and projected employment at the Everett sites. The Boeing sites located in Everett include the central production facility as well as ® the Bomarc, Sabey, and Everett Mall sites. It is estimated 93 percent of. the 1,000 peak day users wr71 travel from the central Boeing facility with the remaining 4 percent and 3 percent coming from the Bomarc and Sabey sites respectively. No users are expected to come from the Everett Mall site due to thb relatively long distance and small number of employees. It is estimated that 75 percent of the 1,000 users will use the facility just prior to or immediately following their work shift (approximately 6:00 to 8:00 AM and 3:00 to 6:00 PM). The remaining 25 percent of the users will use the facility very early in the morning, during the midday, or after 6:00 PM. The planned hours of operation are 530 AM to 10:00 PM Monday through Friday and 6:30 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday. A one and one-half hour residence time for the facility users is assumed resulting in a ' departure rate of 315 users/peak hour and an arrival rate of 115 users/peak hour during the assumed peak hour of 4:00 to 5:00 PM. This results in a total of 430 peak hour users on the transportation network serving the facility during the peak period. Site generated traffic was distributed over the street network based on employee zip code information supplied by Boeing (see Figure 2). This distribution is consistent with existing traffic volume patterns and considers any applicable street network improvements. Impacts to the existing street system were not evaluated south of SR 526 since the Recreational Facility_ traffic serves as an intermediate destination, removing those vehicles from the earlier Boeing peak hour traffic. Traffic counts in the Southwest Everett/Snohomish County area support the assumption that the peak period for much of the street system ' serving the site is directly influenced by the Boeing shift times and is earlier than 4:00 to 5:00 PM. The impacts to the Seaway Blvd./SR526 and SR 526/I-5 ramps are worse during the earlier peak periods. The Recreational Center traffic is actually diverted traffic from the earlier P.M. peak period, reducing the impact during that period. V. FUTURE CONDITIONS The existing traffic volumes are shown in Figure 3. Projected 1995 PM peak hour traffic volumes with and without the proposed recreational center are shown in Figures 4 and 5. Calculated levels -of -service for the 1995 PM peak hour conditions with and without the recreational center are shown in Table 2. Access to the Recreation Center will be via two street connections to 36th Avenue W. at 'r intersections. All of the vehicles entering the site will do so making a northbound left turn. Vehicles exiting the site will make eastbound right turns onto 36th Avenue W. The sight distances to the north and south are in excess of 1,000', sufficient for both intersection and ' stopping sight distance requirements. Previous studies have determined that with the anticipated growth in background traffic and ' the addition of several large projects in the Southwest Everett area, numerous intersections will deteriorate to Level -of -Service E or worse by 1995. The intersections of primary concern in this study are the intersection of Seaway Boulevard and 60th Street SW and the 1
