West Ritchie Commercial Properties The proposed commercial land uses within the West Ritchie neighbourhood south of 82 Avenue are anticipated to be similar in trip generation characteristics to the commercial land uses that currently exist. Many of the properties included in the redevelopment scenarios will include residential uses on upper floors. The new commercial area is anticipated either provide a new home for existing retail businesses or provide services to the residents of West Ritchie. These land uses are anticipated to have a base trip rate similar to specialty retail stores described previously. As many of these properties are currently generating traffic, the vehicle daily trip generation rate of 0.35 trips/m and the PM peak hour rate of 0.0279 trips/m2 have been applied only to the net increase in commercial area under the redevelopment scenarios.
Office Land Uses Along 82 Avenue the upper stories of new buildings are anticipated to be office space. Using trip rates from ITE Trip Generation, 6th Edition, and a mode split to auto of 80% results in a daily trip generation rate of 0.095 vehicle trips/m2 and a PM peak hour trip generation rate of 0.016 trips/m2. Table 11 summarizes the number of daily and PM peak hour trips generated by the short and long term redevelopment scenarios for West Ritchie. Detailed trip generation tables are included in Appendix A. Table 11. Net Trips Generated by Redevelopment Scenario C
