The significant findings <br />are: <br /> <br />. Rice Creek Plaza in now generating trips at a rate which is con- <br />sidered "average" for developments of this type and size. <br /> <br />. Existing PM peak hour traffic in this area is served by the existing <br />system 9f streets and entrances at a very high level of service. <br /> <br />. Implementation of the development would increase PM peak hour trip <br />generation from 540 trips to 700 trips (total, in plus out). <br /> <br />.
