© The distribution of trips generated by the campground development is likely to follow a combination of prevailing regional travel patterns, existing traffic volumes, location of population centers and the local and regional roadway network. The population centers that the site would draw people from are located north or west of the proposed site. As such, most of the traffic will arrive and depart using State Route 400 with a smaller percentage using US Route 20A to the west. It is likely that very few people will use US Route 204A to the east. Given the relatively low volume of traffic that will be generated by the campground sleeping quarters and the associated lodge/open air gazebo and that the majority of traffic will be arriving and departing after the peak hours, it can be concluded that the proposed campground development will have little to no impact on traffic flow and operations and that there will not be significant adverse traffic operational impacts. Further, it should be noted that the site currently operates as a wellness center that currently generates some amount of traffic. Finally, NYSDOT typically does not require a traffic impact study if a development generates less than 100 peak hour trips. There is not an existing crash history in the vicinity of the site. It is not anticipated that the increased vehicle activity at the proposed site will cause an increase in crashes. There is excellent site distance in each direction to give traffic entering and exiting the site plenty of time and distance to observe any oncoming vehicles. It ls recommended that any landscaping proposed for the site be located away from the edges of the roadway so as not to block the view of exiting vehicles. This study has been conducted for the proposed Twin Elms campground development to assess the transportation and safety impacts relative to the creation of a campground and lodge/open air gazebo social gathering space. This assessment concludes that there will not be any significant adverse transportation or safety impacts due to the project.
