• <br />• <br />This analysis will be completed for up to 20 intersections and/or roadway/highway <br />segments for the average daily, a.m., and p.m. peak conditions. Specific efforts that will <br />be conducted to prepare the necessary analyses include: <br />estimate the trip generation for the proposed project using the project description, <br />information provided by the Port of Houston Authority, and other appropriate <br />trip generation sources. The directional distribution of project-generated traffic <br />will be based on projected origin and destination information provided by the Port <br />of Houston Authority and the relative locations of complementary land-uses in the <br />area. Site accessibility and the location of transportation arteries will .also be <br />factors in determining the directional distribution. The site-generated traffic will <br />be assigned to the roadway network based on the determined distribution. The <br />traffic analysis will contain a complete discussion of the trip generation, <br />distribution, and assignment assumptions used in the analysis. <br />^ review the Bayport Terminal Master Plan to determine the adequacy of the <br />proposed project access points, on-site circulation, and truck access. The <br />assessment of site circulation and access shall also address rail infrastructure and <br />access. <br />^ compare the results of the analysis to significance criteria developed through a <br />Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the appropriate agency to identify <br />project impacts. The analysis will assess the ability of the current infrastructure <br />(roadway and railway) to accommodate the traffic generated by the project and <br />will assess the potential for the project to increase accident potential at up to 10 <br />key locations. <br />^ identify transportation infrastructure improvements necessary to accommodate the <br />project. <br />^ organize and transfer traffic projection data to project team for use in the air <br />quality and noise impact sections as requested. <br />attend up to two (2) meetings as needed. <br />1yOISE <br />To the extent that the proposed Bayport Terminal Project would be expected to degrade <br />the surrounding community noise environment, a technical analysis of community noise <br />conditions will be completed. Noise-sensitive receptors that would be affected by the <br />project would include those sensitive land uses located along the highways and <br />thoroughfares accessing the facility. <br />The analysis of existing community noise conditions would include: <br />M:\APPROACH.WPD 7 <br />
