...report states that during the first three "peak" years of operation, the library will draw about 1,340,000 visitors annually. After that, the study predicts only 960,000 visitors a year...
Evaluating the economic impact of the library, the study said the complex would generate $2.6 million annually in sales revenues during the peak period and $1.87 million in subsequent years...
...during the summer months when the impact of university population activity levels are at their lowest. Approximately one-third of the visitors are expected during the weekends when employment related traffic and other activities are greatly reduced. During a given day, a great many visitors are likely to avoid peak traffic, although nearly 65 per cent of the visitors will use their automobile as a mode of arrival. However, a trip to the Library being more of a family affair, "cars" on an average will carry 3.5 persons, an occupancy rate almost double the average all-purpose trip rate...
Therefore, on the basis of the foregoing discussion and the conclusions found for the peak year, it is clear that the additional traffic due to the Library cannot be expected to have any measurable impacts on traffic operations in the area during the stable years. If the highest visitor projection for the stable year (1,030,000) were considered, there would still not be any noticeable effect since this would change the Library volume increments by only about 10 per cent and the total traffic by about 1 per cent. This falls well within the limits of sensitivity...
Finally, the traffic volumes generated by the Library will not superimpose peaks on the existing volumes but rather occur on non-peak periods. Furthermore, in an effort to meet the modified EPA air quality standards, the City will have to work with regional agencies to change the existing traffic patterns. The increase in traffic due to the Library visitors is not likely to hamper such an effort...
