Include pedestrian and bicycle counts <br />C. Revised trip generation to accommodate additional land uses. Perform a trip <br />generation to estimate the future traffic from the proposed development site based on the <br />ITE Trip Generation Manual and a distribution/assignment of generated trips to the study <br />intersections. Traffic will be forecasted for the site based on the following received <br />information: <br />• Hotel <br />• Multi -family Apartments <br />• Hospital Parking (300 Spaces) <br />• Cafe (2,000 square feet) <br />• Conference Space (2,000 square feet) <br />D. Forecast the baseline volumes from the data collection to the opening year and horizon <br />year as background traffic volumes before the trips are added for the proposed <br />development site. The background traffic volumes will be determined based on an annual <br />growth rate applied to the existing traffic volumes. Historical traffic data will be reviewed to <br />estimate growth in this area and consulted with the City of South Bend and INDOT. <br />• Additional background traffic information will be requested during the scoping meeting <br />for any developments that have been approved but not yet completed. <br />E. The Consultant will provide the preliminary assumptions to INDOT LaPorte District for <br />review prior to performing the vehicle capacity analysis. This will include growth rates, land <br />use types, trip generation, and trip distribution information. <br />F. Perform a vehicle capacity analysis (aka level -of -service analysis) and vehicle queue length <br />analysis using traffic analysis software (Highway Capacity Manual, Synchro, Sidra) for the <br />following study intersections, analysis time periods, and traffic volume scenarios: <br />Study Intersections <br />• Michigan Street & Main Street/Marion Street Roundabout <br />2024.00254 <br />
