Traffic Impact Analysis
The Barking Lot
Deerfield, Illinois
July 11, 2007
I. INTRODUCTION
This report presents the findings and conclusions of a traffic impact analysis and parking review
prepared for a Barking Lot facility in the Lake Cook Plaza shopping center in Deerfield, Illinois.
The Lake Cook Plaza shopping center is adjacent to the south side of Lake Cook Road west of
Waukegan Road (IL 43). The center is bounded by commercial and retail development on the
east and south, with the 500 Corporate Center, an office complex, located across Lake Cook
Road to the north. The Milwaukee District North Line railroad tracks are west of the shopping
center. The Barking Lot is proposing to develop a facility with a footprint of approximately'
15,800 square feet in the outlot currently occupied by KinderCare, located in the southwest
quadrant of the shopping center.
In the shopping center, the Tile Shop is located to the north of the proposed facility. The
internal ring road borders the space to the east, parking is located south of the space and the
railroad tracks are west of the space. Parking is located to the north, west and south of the
proposed development as well as east of the proposed facility across the internal ring road.
Ingress and egress to the site is planned to be provided from the existing Lake Cook Plaza
shopping center access drive at the intersection of Lake Cook Road and West Drive /Corporate
Drive. No additional access is requested.
In order to ensure that the addition of the site generated traffic of the proposed development
can be accommodated safely and efficiently, Transportation Strategies, Ltd. (TSL) conducted a
review of the site traffic characteristics and site circulation for the proposed development. The
following summarizes our observations and analyses. The planned parking for the proposed
use was also reviewed.

Traffic Impact Analysis
The Barking Lot
Deerfield, Illinois
July 11, 2007
II. EXISTING CONDITIONS
This section of the report provides a description of the existing roadway system, traffic volumes
and existing traffic operations in the site vicinity.
Area Roadway System
The location of the site, in a regional context, is illustrated on Figure 1. The adjacent roadway
which will serve the site is Lake Cook Road.
Lake Cook Road is an east/west four lane divided roadway which borders the shopping center
on the north. Lake Cook Road provides access to and from the site to the more regional
roadways in the area including Waukegan Road (IL 43) and the Edens Expressway to the east,
and the Tri -State Tollway and Milwaukee Avenue (US 45/IL 21) to the west. At its signalized
intersection with the Lake Cook Plaza access drive, exclusive left turn lanes are provided on all
approaches at the intersection. Separate right turn lanes are provided on the eastbound and
southbound approaches. Lake Cook Road has a 45 mile per hour posted speed limit.
The Lake Cook Plaza access drive extends south from its intersection with Lake Cook Road to
a tee intersection with the internal ring road. The two lane undivided internal ring road is under
stop control in the eastbound and westbound directions at its intersection with the access drive.
Separate free -flow southbound left and right turn lanes are provided at its intersection with the
internal ring road.
Existing Traffic Volumes
In order to gain information regarding traffic volumes on roadways in the study area, traffic
counts at the critical intersections and on the roadways in the site vicinity are typically
conducted. However, due to the limited site generated traffic anticipated to be generated by the
proposed facility, no traffic counts were conducted. The site traffic generation is estimated to
be minimal. These volumes will have a no substantial effect on the operations of the adjacent
signalized intersection of Lake Cook Road and West Drive /Corporate Drive or the intersection
of the Lake Cook Road access drive and the internal ring road. Furthermore, the existing
KinderCare facility also generates some site traffic, which may further reduce the number of
new trips seen on the adjacent roadway by the proposed development.

Traffic Impact Analysis
The Barking Lot
Deerfield, Illinois
July 11, 2007
In order to ensure that traffic volumes had not increased significantly and to provide a basis for
comparison, traffic counts previously conducted at the critical intersections were reviewed. A
traffic count was conducted in January, 1998 at the intersection of Lake Cook Road and West
Drive /Corporate Drive by TSL for the review of the KinderCare Learning Center. Another traffic
count was conducted in December, 2004 at the intersection of the Lake Cook Road access
drive and the internal ring road by Metro Transportation Group for the review of the Tile Shop.
A review and comparison of these counts found the total traffic volumes actually decreased by
15 total vehicles (3 %) over the approximately seven year period. This reduction could be
attributed to the mix of businesses within the Lake Cook Plaza shopping center and customers
patronizing more than one business, thus reducing the total number of trips entering and exiting
the development; as well as the normal day to day variation in traffic volumes.
Due to the insignificant changes in the total traffic volumes, the more recent traffic count
conducted in December, 2004 was used as base traffic volumes for this review. The count was
conducted on Monday, December 20, 2004 from 4:00 to 6:00 PM and on Tuesday, December
21, 2004 from 7:00 to 9:00 AM. These time periods were chosen since they coincide with the
anticipated peak periods of the proposed land use and the peak periods of travel on the
adjacent roadway. The intersection of the Lake Cook Road access drive and the internal ring
road was considered to be the critical intersection in the site vicinity since all site generated
traffic will use this intersection. The site traffic volumes generated by the Tile Shop were also
included in the existing traffic volumes as this facility has been built.
It is noted that the proposed development will generate traffic during the morning peak period;
however, the traffic volumes generated by the shopping center during the morning peak period
are significantly lower than during the evening peak period as the majority of the center does
not open until after the morning peak period. Also, the proposed facility is open on the
weekend. However, the site generated traffic volumes for the proposed facility are highest
during the weekday time periods. Thus, even though the existing traffic volumes may be higher
on the weekend, the site generated traffic volumes for the proposed facility will be higher on the
weekdays; the combination of the existing and site traffic volumes would still be critical during
the weekday evening peak period. If the evening peak period volumes can be accommodated

then the volumes during the other days and times can also be accommodated. For purposes of
this review the weekday morning and evening peak hours were considered in this analysis.
The results indicate that the heaviest traveled hour on the adjacent roadways occurred during
the weekday morning from 8:00 to 9:00 AM and in the evening from 4:00 to 5:00 PM. The
existing morning and evening peak hour turning movement count is illustrated on Figure 2.

III. SITE CHARACTERISTICS
This section of the report will provide a discussion of the site characteristics including a
description of the proposed development, an estimation of the site volumes, directional
distribution of site traffic and an assignment of the peak hour traffic volumes.
Development Characteristics
The Barking Lot is planning to develop a facility to fulfill the needs of our companion animals
under one roof. The approximately 15,800 square foot facility is proposed in the outlot currently
occupied by KinderCare, located in the southwest quadrant of the Lake Cook Plaza shopping
center. The Barking Lot is planned to provide facilities for a doggie daycare, overnight
boarding, grooming, training and a retail store (approximately 1500 square feet of the facility).
Transportation is also offered to and from the Barking Lot. This would further reduce the
impact of the facility on the adjacent roadways and intersections. It is estimated that at full
capacity the Barking Lot could have approximately 120 dogs in all service categories of the
facility. Typically, there are 30 to 60 patrons throughout the day for the various services. The
facility will have a maximum of 20 full time staff members divided between two shifts. The
facility is planned to be open seven days a week from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM on weekdays and
from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM on weekends. The developers of the facility have noted that the peak
hours of the facility are typically the first three hours in the morning (7:00 to 10:00 AM) and the
last three hours in the evening (4:00 to 7:00 PM) when patrons drop off and pick up their
companions.
Ingress and egress to the development is planned to be provided from the existing access drive
to the Lake Cook Plaza shopping center.
Site Generated Traffic
In order to determine the volume of traffic the site would generate the Institute of Transportation
Engineers (ITE) report titled Trip Generation, 7th Edition, 2003 is typically referenced. The ITE
report is a compilation of national traffic data surveys utilized to estimate traffic volumes for
various land use types. However, due to the unique nature of the proposed facility, there were

not found to be any similar land uses in the ITE report. The most representative found was a
Pet Supply Superstore which was noted to be primarily retail with no boarding facilities. Due to
the mix of uses planned at the Barking Lot, there is anticipated to be significant interaction
between the uses with the retail portion of the facility only being a small component of the
facility.
In order to estimate the volume of site generated traffic from the proposed facility, a review of
an existing Barking Lot facility in the Chicago area was conducted. The survey reported that
the existing facilities generate 7 to 10 visits per hour during the peak time periods. In order to
provide a conservative estimate, 20 total trips during both the morning and evening peak hour
(10 trips in and 10 trips out) were estimated to be generated by this development as shown in
Table 1.

The site traffic generated by the proposed facility are minimal. As noted previously, the facility
is proposed in the outlot currently occupied by KinderCare. The traffic volumes generated by
the KinderCare facility will be replaced by the site traffic generated by the Barking Lot facility.
Table 2 lists the number of trips estimated to be generated by the KinderCare facility during its
critical evening peak traffic period. These traffic volumes are significantly higher than the site
traffic estimated to be generated by the proposed facility.

Furthermore, interaction between the proposed development and the retail development in the
Lake Cook Plaza shopping center was not considered. The design of the site would permit
patrons of the proposed development to travel between the facilities without leaving the site.
This would reduce the number of trips at the access drive. A reduction for the multi - purpose
trips was not applied to the estimated site traffic volumes.
Directional Distribution
Traffic will approach and depart the site from several directions depending on factors that
include the area street system characteristics, levels of congestion, area land uses and the
location of the site access points. It is expected that the site traffic to the Barking Lot facility will
use the signalized existing Lake Cook Plaza shopping center site drive to access the center and
thus the internal ring road /access drive intersection to reach the subject development.
It should be noted that very little site traffic is expected to access the site from 500 Corporate
Center. Some patrons who are employed there may utilize this roadway to reach the
development; however, it is estimated that this percentage will be minimal (less than 5 %).
Traffic Assignment
An assignment of the site generated traffic to adjacent roadway and intersection has been
prepared for the peak hours utilizing the estimated site traffic volumes, the directional
distribution of the site traffic and the proposed access system. Figure 3 illustrates the site
traffic assignment.
The total traffic assignment was determined by combining the site traffic with the existing traffic
volumes and is illustrated on Figure 4. Due to the anticipated short time frame for completion of
this facility, no non -site traffic growth was incorporated in the total traffic volumes.

IV. EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This section of the report will provide a discussion of the evaluation conducted during the peak
periods to examine the impact of the site traffic at the critical intersection as well as review the
parking provided for the proposed development.
Capacity Analysis
The existing and future operations of the critical intersection were evaluated using the
procedures in the Highway Capacity Software (HCS). Capacity analysis, which is reported in
terms of level of service (LOS), is a measure of the operating efficiency of an intersection. The
levels of service range from LOS A (best) to LOS F (worst). LOS D is considered by most
jurisdictional agencies to be the acceptable minimum level of service for design.
The evaluation was completed considering the total traffic volumes and utilizing the existing
roadway geometry and controls. Table 3 indicates the level of service at the intersection of the
Lake Cook Plaza access drive and the internal ring road.

As noted in Table 3, the projected level of service of the intersection exceed the minimum
design levels (LOS D). The intersection operates at LOS C considering the existing as well as
total traffic volumes during the peak periods with a negligible increase in the overall delay. The
analysis indicates that there are a sufficient number of lanes at the subject intersection to
accommodate the total traffic volumes estimated in this report with no roadway improvements.

Also, it is noted that the total future traffic volumes were not reduced for the existing KinderCare
site generated traffic volumes. The KinderCare facility will be replaced by the site traffic
generated by the Barking Lot facility which as noted previously is significantly less than the site
traffic generated by the KinderCare facility during it critical evening peak traffic period.
On -Site Circulation
The internal circulation system of the proposed shopping center development is designed to
ensure that all vehicles are able to circulate efficiently. The location of the proposed Barking
Lot facility is well designed with respect to overall layout of the shopping center. The internal
roadway will collect and distribute the site traffic to the proposed facility.
Parking
A review of the current and potential parking conditions associated with the proposed Barking
Lot development in the Lake Cook Plaza shopping center was completed. This included a
review of the parking demand currently experienced in the Lake Cook Plaza shopping center in
the area surrounding the location of the KinderCare development.
As illustrated on Figure 5, the Barking Lot facility is planned in the southwest quadrant of the
shopping center. The main door of the facility will be located in the northeast corner of the
building. Primary parking is located to the north of this door. Employee parking is provided to
the west of the building. The location of the primary parking is adjacent to the building which
provides a place for owners to park and escort their animals into and from the facility without
potential conflicts with traffic of the shopping center. This area is bounded by the railroad
tracks to the west and buildings to the north. The majority of vehicular traffic in this area will be
other patrons of the Barking Lot facility. If required, additional parking located to the east,
across the internal ring road, but it is not anticipated that this parking will be utilized by patrons
to the Barking Lot facility.
The parking demand currently experienced in the Lake Cook Plaza shopping center in the area
surrounding the location of the proposed development was reviewed to determine if adequate
parking was available. Information provided by the developers noted that the Barking Lot

facilities typically experience short duration parking needs. Each vehicle associated with an
animal being dropped off or picked up is in the parking lot for a approximately fifteen minutes.
The only long term parking experienced at these facilities is for the employees and for the van
that is used to shuttle animals to and from the facility.
Site reconnaissance was conducted during the evening peak period of the parking areas
surrounding the proposed Barking Lot location in the Lake Cook Plaza shopping center, as
shown on Figure 5. The majority of businesses in the shopping center are open during this
time period; therefore, if adequate parking is available during this period then adequate parking
should be provided during the remainder of the day. The review found that several vehicles (5)
were parked in area behind the building. The KinderCare was still operational and it is
assumed that these vehicles belonged to the staff of that facility. No vehicles were observed to
occupy any spaces in the area to the north of the building. Spaces were also found to be
available in the area to the east of the proposed Barking Lot facility, but as this parking area is
across the internal ring road, it is not planned to be used by the subject development. It is
concluded that based on this review that adequate parking is available to accommodate the
customers parking immediately adjacent to the proposed Barking Lot facility.

VI. CONCLUSION
Pursuant to the site traffic impact analysis and parking review conducted for the proposed
Barking Lot development, it is concluded that the site generated traffic can be successfully
accommodated on -site and at the existing site access drives with no improvements. The
redevelopment of the existing KinderCare site to a Barking Lot facility will not have a significant
impact on the adjacent roadways due to the limited site traffic volumes estimated to be
generated by the development. The proposed development should not significantly increase
adjacent traffic volumes. The Barking Lot facility will generate significantly less traffic than the
facility it will replace. The proposed development will not have an adverse impact on the critical
intersections adjacent to the site.
The internal configuration of the shopping center and the proposed location of the Barking Lot
is well designed and should allow vehicles to circulate efficiently. The main door to the facility
and the parking area are located to provide an area with minimal traffic for patrons to park and
escort their animal(s) into and out of the facility without potential conflicts with traffic in the
shopping center. More than adequate parking was determined to be available to accommodate
the minimal amount of parking required immediately adjacent to the Barking Lot facility.
The planned development and is consistent with the adjacent outlot developments and the
addition of the site generated traffic of the proposed development can be accommodated safely
and efficiently.
